Longtime WBAP-AM morning host Hal Jay is recuperating in a Fort Worth hospital after suffering a "massive" heart attack Sunday during a family excursion to Possum Kingdom Lake, he told listeners Tuesday morning.
<-snip->
He said the prognosis was good, and he hoped to head home Wednesday and be back on the air next week.

I went to summer camp at Possum Kingdom about 35 years ago. Yikes.
Speedy recovery Hal.
In our prayers.
I didnt know that.
I listen to WBAP every morning, Heck In listening to it now.
Best wishes for a full recovery
I just wanna know if we're going to get our Willie Landum fix 6:55 am?
I just wanna know if we're going to get our Willie Landum fix on Friday morning at 6:55 am?
Glad to hear Hal's doing better! Now, the burning question is, how's "Sam from Sales"?
And how is this being covered by "This Reporter"?
Typical skit:
Other hosts: And now, here's SAM!!!!!!! from SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEES<
Sam: YAYYYYUSSSSSSS!!!!!
Other hosts: So, how's it going Sam?
Sam: My cousin Tiger's doing great in golf!
Other host: You're cousin's Tiger Woods?
Sam: No, Tiger Yablonski!. Don't you follow the putt putt circuit? (Yablonski is a hysterically funny name, and the mere mention of it causes the other hosts to break into laughs roughly simulating an emphysema patient with crimped oxygen tubing. This is one of the most hysterical parts of every Sam from Sales skit: the confusion when the hosts think Sam is related to someone famous, but, and here's the really funny part, they REPLACE THE LAST NAME OF THE FAMOUS PERSON WITH YABLONSKI!!!!!!! It's so funny, it gets to me every time, even though they've only done it five times a week since Paul Harvey was in diapers.)
Other host: No, I don't follow putt putt. How's Tiger doing?
Sam: Well, he said yesterday he hit two of the best balls he's ever hit. He stepped on a putter and it whacked him between the legs! (Followed by hysterical laughing on the part of the other hosts, pounding on the table, and the discharge of several large caliber handguns)
Quick sound of radio static as I punch the radio buttons frantically, hoping to find something more amusing, like someone grinding their teeth or a live report from the Duck and Decoy convention in Potukit, Louisiana.
That's because you're obviously a man of discernment, refinement and taste! I've heard of those qualities, myself... /grin
Prayers up for Hal. But if he is springing back this fast from a massive heart attack, he has already received a miracle.
Ticket P1 listener here wishing Hal the best.

I hear ya. I went to Possum Kingdom for Indian Guides camp in 1969.
This hits a little too close to home.
LOL, you nailed it.
Wheezing and fake laughs abound. And Monty Cook sounds like he's going to crash the 'copter, he's fake-laughing so hard.
