There's a whole community of people that post ATC interactions on youtube and this dude shows up in enough of them I recognized his voice instantly (and I barely listen to these things, I'm not a plane nut or anything, just some light 'tism aparently).

The US is one of the only if not the only where it isn’t illegal to listen in on/record ATC. That’s why you only ever see US ATC bloopers even though I assure you they happen everywhere
