I'm generally incredibly nice with listeners. But every once in a while someone (oh let's just name them Mike from... TN) will be offended by the fact that I can't force the guys to take their SUPER interesting call about how their child plays hockey. Oh great call Mike, I'm sure everyone really wants to hear that your child knows how to ice skate. Please tell us more.
And the fact that I only hang up on about 2% of callers is astounding when you think about how stupid so many of our listeners are. Plus, only the stupid ones feel the need to call in "just to say hi." The thing is, other interns might actually put them on hold and take up one of our 5 lines, I prefer to say "Great, I'll let the guys know that. Thanks for calling." I say the SAME thing everytime. I don't ever say "Oh... ummm... we're not really talking about that right now..." or "No one gives a fucking shit." Which would actually be incredibly satisfying. I'm tempted once in a while to question how someone is actually smart enough to dial a telephone or if they just drolled on their cell phone so much that it just randomly dials radio stations who don't give a shit about what they bought at the grocery store. "I'd rather take poison than listen to any more of your fucking crazy rambling toothless hick. No I can't understand what your name is because you're to busy eating your brother's dick."
So, what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry if I have been rude to anyone on the phone. But maybe you should just take the hint. Your call sucks. That's why I'm not putting you on hold, or why the guys didn't take it. Call when the topic is relevent, and call with a comment that is actually worth saying on the radio.
