Funny Radio stories
If there is one thing to say about radio people, they are different. They tale their complexes and fears and hide them behing a microphone, and for a while they can be someone else. Being in radio for over 30 years, I have seen many change. Times change, but people don't. So for your enjoyment here are some funny radio stories.
Interview Stories:
One of the things I used to do was interview people for work here are some funny stories:
One lady was late for her interview, she came in an apologized for being late, because she couldn't find a place to park. We were well aware of the parking situation in uptown Beckley, we asked her where she finally parked. Her response was "in creation" we never found out where creation was. After all this time I still don't know.
One guy came to this interview looking like hair was a mess and he wasn't wearing any socks. Some things when people ask why did you leave your last job are better left unsaid. He tells us that him and his last supervisor didn't get along.
There was a guy who kind of reminded me of Forrest Gump, when I asked him
How did he feel about working the religious format. He said, I will sit there and listen to everything, and I thought to myself, if he did that he would be crazy before the first shift ended.
One of the people being interviewd said that they wanted a coat and tie job and my boss told him."You can wear whatever you want to on your shift,. just a long as you show up. If you want to wear a coat and tie go for it" I don't care what you wear as long as you show up. The guy was so coky that leveled his sails a little.
Crazy stories, II am not sure how to name these:
I got a call one Saturday night saying that someone left before their shift was over because they have to go get their mother in law out of jail. (That one qualifies as you might be a redneck if)
Later this same person was hired back. I didn;t hire them someone else did. I got a call from this person who left the stage truck in the middle of the road in town saying that their wife said for them to come home now, that they couldn't work anymore. So he left the radio station immediately. Lucky the shift was almost over and I called the person that was working the nioght shift to come in an hour earlier.
Dumb and Dumber. If you have ever seen this movie it will get on your nerves so bad... The movie reminded me of two people we hired to work weekends. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the two easiest shifts a person can work. There is stuff that can go wrong, but these people messed up things that went well for other people. One thing neither one could tell time, programs got on an hour early or late or stayed on too long because they were on another planet. I tried to retrain them, I finally got so disgusted with them I just stopped scheduling them.
There was the one guy, who got so cold in the control room, he brought a quilt from home. I came in to find him wrapped up in a quilt alseep. He was running a 30 minute program, someone from the program had to come in and wake him up so he could take them off of the air.
I was working a late night shift when Sara Jane Moore escaped from Alderson, the doors weren't locked, I was scared to death when a policeman showed up there. This had nothing to do with Sara jane Moore, though, he was looking for the midnight announcer on a contributing to the deliquency of a minor.
Once there was a problem keep uop with keys, so to avoid this, someone placed the keys on a key ring and hooked it to a yardstick. No one could ever put those keys in their pocket.
One Sunday morning I got a phione call, that there was something wrong with the board. Someone on the night shift had painted it bright red. I don't know why they did it. They just spray painted the board red. He was also them same person who drew a mustache on a portrait of Joe L.mith. He drew beards on the album covers on the women, quite a distubed person. I don't know if they were on drugs or what.
There are many other stories, I could tell. Some were clean and there were so "Love The One You're With Stories" thats when you spend too much time in a place with somebody and they start looking good and there a hot romance begans to bud, so wisdom goes out of the window and raw lust and passion takes over and common sense leaves. I won't go there..
I was thinking about all of these crazy stories last night and I thought that some of these would be funny. I hope that you enjoy them...
