The Chris Evans' Drivetime Show featured the popular "Fox the Fox" feature in which Pike was given a question submitted by a listener and provided her answer at the end of her second business news section one hour later. The theme tune of the slot was a clip from the song "Outfox the Fox", featuring Danny Kaye from his 1956 musical comedy film The Court Jester.
