A discussion clarifies that John C. Dvorak's frequent microphone bumping was not a planned "bit" but a result of an ancient, leaning microphone stand. The stand is jokingly described as being a thousand years old with Latin inscriptions from Rome. The physical layout of the studio made avoiding contact with the sensitive equipment difficult for Dvorak.
