I don't think that this kind of crap is "funny" either...

Yes, while it is probably true that the guy in this audio clip is a lying dick, you never ever know what horrors you might cause by injecting yourself into a situation in which you have no business dealing.

Married Radio Caller Busted on Air


Male Announcer: "93.7, the edge. It's the best of Andy Savage."
Female Announcer: "On 93.7 the edge."
Andy Savage: "Who's this?"
Kim: "My name is Kim!"
Andy Savage: "Oh Kim, how old are you Kim?"
Kim: "25"
Andy Savage: "Alright, and where are you calling from?"
Kim: "Ysetta?"
Andy Savage: "Alright cool! This is 'He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not', I don't know if you heard this a few weeks ago."
Kim: "Yes I did."
Andy Savage: "Do you have a boyfriend or a husband?"
Kim: "I have a boyfriend."
Andy Savage: "Alright, how long you been going out with him?"
Kim: "Um, just about a year now."
Andy Savage: "Oh ok, and you suppose he loves you?"
Kim: "I know he loves me."
Andy Savage: "Oh really, why? Well how do you know."
Kim: "Oh, special little love notes, or sending me flowers, or just the special time that we're able to spend together."
Andy Savage: "Alright, what's your boyfriend's name?"
Kim: "Greg."
Andy Savage: "Well where does he live?"
Kim: "Duluth."
Andy Savage: "Oooh..."
Kim: "Yeah."
Andy Savage: "Well how often do you see him?"
Kim: "We typically see each other every weekend. Because he's in Duluth and I'm in Ysette it makes it a little hard to see each other during the week."
Andy Savage: "Ok, and you..."
Kim: "To have quality time."
Andy Savage: "So you have absolutely no reason to suspect he might be messing around on you?"
Kim: "No. None."
Andy Savage: "Well then this is going to be boring... um, but we'll humor you ok? We'll give him a call, and see how this... please don't say anything, ok Kim! I'll do all the talking."

*ringing*

Greg: "Hello?"
Andy Savage: "Hi, is Greg there?"
Greg: "Yea, who's this?"
Andy Savage: "Greg, how you doing, my name is Andy Savage I'm calling from The Edge radio in Minneapolis, St. Paul. How are things in Duluth?"
Greg: "A little frigid... What can I do for you?"
Andy Savage: "Well, I guess, uh, I don't know do you get to Minneapolis or St. Paul often, or what?"
Greg: "Yeah, every weekend on, uh, business..."
Andy Savage: "Uh, yeah, because we pulled your business card out of a fishbowl at a local merchant, and every month we give away a dozen roses, to anybody, and well you're the winner this month. Congratulations! The deal is you don't have to do anything, I know you're far away, we deliver the roses for you, and we'll even put whatever you want on a nice little card to go along with the roses. All we need from you is a name and address of somebody you want 'em delivered to."

Greg: "Oh, ok, yeah, my wife Cindy."
Kim: "What?"
Andy Savage: "Ok..."
Kim: "Cindy?"
Greg: "Aw, Jesus Christ..."
Kim: "Your wife Cindy? "
Greg: "Ugh..."
Kim: "Ugh, you're wife Cindy? Would you?"
Andy Savage: "Uh Greg, Kim's on the line."
Greg: "Hi Kim..."
Kim: "Oh, hi Greg. Um, would you mind explaining this to me? Your wife Cindy? How long have you been married?"
Greg: "I was, I was kidding! I was Kidding!"
Kim: "Kidding? Kidding my ass, you're such a dick! *Sob*"
Greg: "You son of a #@$*&..."

A woman discovers on a call-in radio show that her boyfriend is married. A 25-year-old woman named Kim phoned in to take part in a scheme called "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not," in which callers who suspected their lovers of fooling around behind their backs gave Savage contact information, and he employed various ruses to try to catch out the straying sweethearts. Kim had been going out with a man named Greg for about a year, she said. Since Greg lived in Duluth, which was quite a distance away (over 150 miles) from Kim's home near Minneapolis, they saw each other only on weekends. Alarm bells should have been going off already, but Kim swore she had "absolutely no reason" to suspect Greg had been messing around on her. "I know he loves me," she told Savage quite confidently. ("Then this is going to be boring," Savage quipped in reply.)

1. Trust, like the soul, once departed

never returns.

[etherealtruth]

2. The garbage that passes for entertainment on morning radio

... drove me to public radio (~30 years ago) .... I never looked (or turned) back

3. At least she knows now

I hate those sort of radio shows and never listen, but at least the poor thing knows.

If a guy/gal never brings you to their home, there is a reason.

4. The Hey Days Of Prankster Radio Have Passed...

Note that the ones we've heard of recently were from Australia and Canada (the guys who punked Scott Walker pretending to be one of the Koch Brothers)...U.S. stations have been real careful about these stupid stunts...including the one above...cause it can be a costly proposition.

For example...this one from 2009...

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/10/jury-awards-16-million-in-radio-prank-that-left-sacramentoarea-woman-dead-.html

The Sacramento County Superior Court jury concluded that Entercom Sacramento, which operates KDND-FM (107.9) "The End," was negligent after ignoring several warnings that a morning show contest could have fatal consequences, according to KTXL-TV (Channel 40) in Sacramento.

Jennifer Strange, a mother of three from suburban Rancho Cordova, died of apparent water intoxication hours after a failed attempt to win a Nintendo Wii video game system for her children in a promotion dubbed "Hold Your Wee for a Wii."

A tape of the program, known as the "Morning Rave" on KDND, revealed that the potential fatal effects of drinking too much water were raised during the course of the contest, with one on-air host mentioning the 2005 death of a college student during a hazing ritual in Chico. A listener also called in to advise against the stunt.

Strange — one of 20 contestants — initially joked lightheartedly with the show hosts as she and the others chugged bottled water. But as the hours wore on, it came down to Strange and one other woman contending for the grand prize, and she admitted to having a splitting headache and feeling wobbly. Strange quipped on the air that "it looks like I'm pregnant again."

After finishing in second place, Strange rushed with contest winner Lucy Davidson to the station's bathroom to vomit. Strange called her employer to say she was too sick to come in and headed home. Her mother discovered her body that afternoon.

The combination of liability and pissing off already hard-to-find and please advertisers is making American stations shy from hiring "controversial" personalities. Add to this the move to downsize and "outsource" local programming...local radio is on life support.

It's tragic what's happened with the British nurse, however I don't see that the DJs were doing anything that malicious. I'll be curious how Australian and British authorities deal with this case...

5. i think a lot of people are stupid in the morning

which explains morning zoos and Kathie Lee style TV shows. Fortunately most of the prank calls only involve actors, so at least there won't be the kind of tragedy we just saw in England.
