Take Two's A Martinez remembers when he was 11, and had his joke read by his favorite morning host, Charlie Tuna, who died last month at the age of 71.

Charlie Tuna was a fixture on LA's radio scene - one of the disc jockeys who dominated Top 40 radio and pop music for decades. He died February 19, although the news wasn't released until this week.

Tuna was a fixture on Take Two co-host A Martinez's radio as well. Every morning, Tuna would read a joke or story written by a listener as the "Morning Wake-up Story."

When he was 11, A (then known as George) sent in a joke , and Tuna read it on the air.

And as A tells it, they were listening in the car, and his mom almost drove off the road.

The prize was this creamer; A must have been one of the youngest winners.

Listen to the audio to hear the whole story ... and what Tuna told A when he showed him the mug years later.
