They probably stole the idea from TomLeykis
A popular and long-running feature of the show was "Flash Friday" in which men are encouraged to drive with their headlights on and women are encouraged to expose their breasts to such vehicles. The feature began as a one-time bit; while on the air, Leykis recalled a radio host he listened to as a child, who asked his listeners in New York apartments to flash their lights on and off and then to look outside to see how many neighbors were doing the same, as a way to gauge the audience size. Leykis asked his listeners to do the same with their car headlights, and a few minutes later, jokingly suggested that women flash their breasts. A listener called in to report that he saw a woman flashing fellow drivers, and it became a regular feature of the show.[ Both women and men commonly call during the Friday broadcast to alert other listeners as to their location, and to recount stories of flashing or being flashed, respectively.
The show also used sound clips which callers generally requested after long conversations. Callers made requests to be "taken out" in some style, such as, "could you take me out with a bong hit?" or "take me out Kobe style," meaning for a specific desired sound effect or audio to be played to end the call. The practice of "taking people out" with use of a sound clip dates back to the early days of the show, when Leykis was working at a small radio station in Albany, New York. Leykis would dispose of undesirable or tiresome callers by playing a cart [i.e., a Fidelipac audio tape cartridge] with the sound of a toilet flushing while hanging up on them (i.e. "flushing the caller"). The station manager found this offensive, and when Leykis refused to stop, removed the cart from the studio. Leykis retaliated by re-recording the sound on another cart that he purposely mis-labeled as "dog barking", and continued to play it. The station manager became frustrated and began harassing the host about it, so Leykis began "blowing callers up" instead (i.e. playing an explosion sound effect).
After some time the practice became such a commonplace that as callers ended their on-air conversation with Leykis they began asking for the sound clip to be played as they hung up by saying "Blow me up, Tom." This phrase in turn became so popular it was soon synonymous with The Tom Leykis Show and it's host. It has ever since been used on all sorts of Leykis merchandise, is the name of his official website and was used as the title of a 2001 documentary film about the host and his show.
Over the years, as more and more sound clips were brought into use, the explosion sound saw less air time and eventually became referred to simply by the phrase "old school"--and the original toilet flush clip in turn became "old- old school," terms both used whenever callers wished to be "taken out" with those respective sound effects.
