Are there any websites to locate a Houston DJ's birthday? thanks
 
email them thru the website. or email one of their cohorts, if you want to surprise them. (whew... this could be rather frightening) Anybody else getting a rise in scary fan mail lately?
 
Look under Voice Tracks R US....You will find them there good fella
 
Thanks truthsayer, I googled Voice Tracks R US with no luck, can you give me a specific link?
 
JustFun, I think Truthsayer was using that vast reserve of untapped humor, which of course, is
purportedly missing among those of us on active payrolls now. I, for one, happen to always be
live, and sometimes I'm even funny, though not obsessed with being so.

Anyway, do you mind telling us who you want to know about? Everybody here knows somebody personally, or knows someone who knows them. So long as you promise not to send scary fan mail.

Question for the old guys: Has the request line ALWAYS been a magnet for the mentally ill/mentally impaired?
 
not that I'm that old... 47 to be exact... but I'll answer....

The request lines have always been a home to some pretty bizarre people.. from the guy named JC who lived with Janis Joplin's ghost... to Karen who calls daily (all stations I think and all shifts) to "Check In." There of course have been others, too many to recall all of them.

Oh yes... and radio station email addresses attract them as well... I still get emails from a woman who swears she and I talked on the phone every night while I was on KLDE... problem is, I was voice tracked at the time. she sends the same emails to the other jocks there as well...just bizarre.

Thats all I have time to write about now...but there are plenty of others.

By the way, my birthday is Feb. 26 if anyone cares........
 
I was just kidding...humor cures all woes! Glad to see some shows are live that is encouraging. I do think the request lines are your lonley ugly and insane hotline. I call all the time!

Is all good, Truthsayer. "lonely, ugly, & insane?" Sounds like we're all getting the same people.....haha...

Dont forget the occasional "offended" person who demands to talk to mgmt, not understanding that unless your name is McIngvale, no one gives a rat if youre little panties are "offended," and that your option is to change the channel. I intensely dislike people who are so petty, they want someone to lose their job, anyway. I've almost gotten in smackdowns at grocery stores w/ people who abuse clerks because they can.

If I ever O.D. on Viagra, just playback a sound byte of Karen's voice calling in "HIIIIIIIIIIIII... JUST CHECKIN.....EEEIN..."

ugh.
 
I thought I was the ONLY one than Karen called every shift. That women spends a lot of time on the phone calling us. And, by what she tells me, she spends a ton of time watching her 4 new TV's.

She has always been VERY NICE. And, if I ever need to know who is on after me, I can just ask her.
 
"Hello to you." She was winning a lot of prizes on KILT. We always thought it odd that she would never pick them up. She won backstage tickets to see George Strait at the rodeo in 1992. They were wasted. "I'll call you tomorrow, Chuck Is that a deal?"
 
Other Karen Quotes:

"Are you giving anything away today?"

"Where's Paul (or whichever jock I fill in for...) today? Tell him I said Hello."

"Tell Johnny Ray I'll call him ok?"

I heard from someone, I can't recall who, told me she was confined to a wheel chair. That she dials the phone with a pencil attached to hear head. I guess we are her only friends. :'(
 
I would guess about 70% of our callers are mentally impaired, mentally ill, shut-ins, or just plain retarded.

10% are complete [EDIT]with no life wanting to vent their frustrations.

Some are lonely -fat -crazy women who think you want to be their boyfriend.

I appreciate the regular working people. I wish I could actually play their song. Some of their requests
are really really good. "marketing research" morons could learn from them.


[EDIT-profanity]
 
From what I understand, yes, Karen is a shut-in who has several televisions, radios, and video games hooked up at every moment of every day. I don't know when she sleeps.

I like when she misses a couple of days. "Four hellos to you."
