With a new job, comes new responsibility, comes new stupidity.
Working the morning show, and this guy must not have had his coffee. We get a call and the producer answers and the guy is very excited. He is wondering if he is the 20th caller. My producer is bewildered. See, it'd be great if he was the 20th caller, but we weren't counting. Why weren't we counting, you ask? We didn't have a contest, and hadn't had one in about 3 hours...
Got another phone call from this woman the other day, telling a story of how she is a BIG fan of Matchbox 20 but she can't usually go. Her son is in Children's Hospital and she would like to be able to go before he comes out. There's a problem. One, we don't have any tickets. Why don't we have tickets? Simple. The concert isn't until March. She didn't know that. She kept saying that she isn't trying to tell this sob story to get tickets, but if you don't know when the concert is, and then when you find out it's way later, you then say "okay then, I'll try then", leads me to believe that when you said your son was coming out soon, he really isn't. There's something stinky about this lady...

Radio Station Stupidity

Yeah. There's a lot of dumbness out there. That's because we live in a society in which technological advances rapidly out pace the average person's comprehension. So we have the vast majority of people as specialists in one thing, acquainted with a couple of others...and dumb about everything else. I'm a dumb person. I realize that I could fill a three-volume coffee table set on dumb things I've done. In some cases, I've got the pictures to prove it...
But it looks like you're focused on a different kind of dumbness...that witless stupidity that is heedful of nothing but itself...in which case, have I got a blog for you, bubba!The Inner Swine
I work at a radio station too (Energy 92.7), and I can definitely relate you complaining about stupid callers. It seems like a lot of callers are either retarded or drunk/stoned. It's great to hear the ones during overnights, because they are off their heads! Or they are trying to find somewhere to party, or are ending their party, and just don't make any sense. Some go on and on forever. The DJs have fun with it though, we all laugh quietly while some idiot is blabbing away on the request line. Oh...radio.
