Maybe you're missing the point - it's what he said in reply (and what they said to him at that point that prompted his response) that we're interested in. Would you not readback the frequency and your callsign before the "good night, bye, tarra, ciao, see ya" bit ?
If ATC had already given him the frequency and had it read back, then they said something like "by the way, I'll see you at the game next week", then you might say "All right, good night". But if the good night was in response to the frequency handover it was just a bit lax that's all
