What a scary thought—It wasn't just Price, it's a scripted part of the broadcast, like the inane non-sports discussions on 97.1

[w]hen [the boss], [his partner], or a guest make a request, respond by saying 'No Problem'. This should be used in place of phrases like, 'Sure' or 'Just a minute'," the document states[.]
