I recall him from an episode of "AIRWOLF".   I wasn't much of a MIAMI VICE fan.    I liked him well enough from his old radio show. .... and he put out a snazzy calender too.  =D

Dave did tell me on one of our adventures that they were related, he was a like a 3rd/4th cousin relation.

Airwolf episode - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0507133/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_20
As for his radio show, I used to listen to the station in this area and one of Liddy's cliche lines is a good one to remember - "Body armour doesn't cover everything."  >:D

I listened to his radio show a little bit back in the 90's.  I don't remember him being on Airwolf, but I probably wasn't aware of who he was at that time. 

I recall once I was listening to his radio show and some shrill woman called in to read him the riot act over something.  He let he go on and on without saying anything in response.  After a couple minutes he finally cut her off and moved on.   I think he must have got up to use the restroom or get coffee knowing she wouldn't shut up or actually ask him to respond.

He told me something like a great grand uncle.  Who knows.

I liked his way of letting a caller rant a while then drilling down to his point.  On one show he had made a comment about the Catholic church not being qualified to offer an opinion on global warming (pre "climate change" time) after the Pope had made a political statement about it.  A caller told him he was wrong because he knew of a Nun who was qualified.  I believe it was his sister, but the caller said she had a degree in meteorology or something that would make her qualified.  In Liddy's concise and cutting style, he asked the caller "of which Diocese is she a Bishop?"  That's about as sharp a way of saying So What that I have ever heard.
