Idiot weekend DJ says "Ron And STEVE"

The "F" word? It went out at low level in Gulfport when I worked there. If you ever used an Ampro board, you may know that it was impossible to do smooth fades with a lot of compression because the pots on those boards only faded so far before the audio dropped out. I was in the station one night when the guy on the air flipped the mic switch with the pot low and started the next song, only to find that someone had left the cart uncued. He was left with dead air and uttered "What happened...aw f---!" Upon realizing the mic was hot, he went into a panic. As it happened, he was air checking, so I popped out the cassette and ran into the production room. Even though the mic was potted down most of the way, it was clearly audible on the aircheck, although it wasn't all that loud. We didn't get any calls, so nobody must have noticed. I should have called him from another line just to shake him up!

Bloopers? One of my first that some friends will never let me forget was reading a live spot for an unfinished furniture store. They swear I said "unfurnished finiture" while reading it and I never have doubted them.
 
I got way too many goof-ups and screw-ups to mention. One funny one though was back in Jonesboro, I was doing a live remote from the Blockbuster there, which has been closed now for more than 10 years if that gives you any time refrence, and there was a Tropical Snow trailer in the parking lot. Well seeing as how it was a HOT summer day, I went and go me one, on the way back to the equipment, the jock back at the station threw it to me early out of the Sophie B. Hawkins song "Damn, I wish I was your lover".

SO, I hightailed it back to mic and dropped my snow cone as I picked up the mic and promptly stated - "Damn, I wish I had another" - went right with the song.

The guys at the Tropical Snow place thought it was funny and did indeed bring me another.

Then there was the "live" spot for Tucker Photo in Meridian, MS. I was having one of "those" days. At the end of the spot came the signature catch phrase: Tucker Photo, Tucker Photo, Tucker Photo!! You can imagine ....

Ooooooooooooh. Kinda like I cringe everytime I hear Dave Woloshin mention Dilday TV. There ain't nothing good coming from that if you get a little tongue-tied.
 
I worked the board at a landscape/garden center remote. Our jock was telling listeners about balled tree specials. I snickered off air. He asked me what was so funny. I said, "Lucky trees."
