Linkfest: Two Found Feet Belong to Same Man

In today's 'Most', after the introduction of the 'Chile pole dancer arrested' story, someone (maybe Ian...?) was heard to say "...How do you make it rain in Chile?" in a curious sotto voce which was greeted by much in-studio laughter. Is there a story behind the reference to rain or was this just a well-placed non sequitur?

"Making it rain" is a strip club thing, where patrons fling a wad of bills onto the stage so they "rain" over the dancers. Like most of the rest of the world, I first heard this phrase when Pacman Jones got arrested at a strip club in Las Vegas last year.
