GRAND ISLAND -- A man working a drive-thru at an Arby’s Restaurant here denied being former Nebraska play-by-play announcer Warren Swain on Monday. But a patron to the fast-food restaurant said he wasn't fooled.

Rich Bing, a 35-year-old unemployed taxidermist, said he pulled up to the drive-thru speaker and was greeted by what he felt certain was the voice of Swain, who lost his radio job after last season.

"I just know it was him,” Bing said. “I pull up and this voice goes, ‘Say fans, welcome to Arby’s. It’s sunny and 65 degrees here in lovely Grand Island and we’re ready for another exciting day of making sandwiches.’ ”

Bing said he ordered a Beef N Cheddar sandwich, an order of jalapeno poppers and a large jamocha shake.

“Beef,” the man working the drive-thru intoned, “it’s what’s for dinner.”  He then launched into a play-by-play of the food’s preparation.

“He's like, 'Annnnnd ... here's Big Mike shifting over to the grill, moving left to right, south to north … he spins a burger down onto to grill … just listen to that hiss,’ ” Bing said. “I wondered what in the hell he was talking about. I didn’t even order a burger, for starters. But I guess he calls ‘em like he sees ‘em.”

Bing said he leaned out of his Dodge Caravan and said to the speaker, “Hey, Mister, are you Warren Swain?”

“Uh, no,” came the reply. “I’m Stan. Would you like any Horsey Sauce?”

Bing said that by the time he pulled up to the window, a high school-aged girl with a name tag reading “Becki” was standing by the window to take his money.

If it was Swain that Bing heard, he was long gone.

In a related development, a man claiming not to be Adrian Fiala was seen working the fry machine at a Wendy’s location in North Platte.
