Only in Philadelphia

This forum is for talking about non-music-related stuff that the DBT fanbase might be interested in. This is not the place for inside jokes and BS. Take that crap to some other board.

Unsurprising but still inexcusable. Not for the first time I have to say that the older I get the less I understand.

Presumably it's a lot easier to get through to many of the sports talk stations today than it was yesterday as many "regular callers" somehow took vacation on the same day. Must be a talk radio caller convention.

Did you read the story? The fake call was coming from inside the house, so to speak. It was a joke that everyone was in on except the one "on air" dude who was getting pranked

from the piece:

A former intern and several other sources told Crossing Broad’s Kyle Scott that most 97.5 staff knew that Dwayne, who typically harasses host Mike Missanelli, was a plant, and that his character may have been a long con brought into the world for the sole purpose of harassing the radio host:

Several insiders confirmed that Dwayne was in fact a well-known fake caller amongst 97.5 staffers… except Missanelli. In fact, Dwayne (and potentially other callers) may exist solely to get a reaction out of Missanelli, some say.

Yes I read the story. Doesn't matter where it was coming from; if that guy was "on the line," other callers weren't.

I'd forgotten about this. My band was playing some club in downtown Philly. I forgot something and went out to the van, and there was a guy sitting in the passenger seat looking through the glove box. We were both startled and he says, "Oh hey, I noticed your van had been broken into and I was looking for some kind of identification to notify the owner." He casually gets out and walks away. Fortunately I must have interrupted him right when he broke in because nothing was taken. Not sure, but I don't think it was on South Street where all the hippies meet.

^^^Absolutely. And as a bonus, he didn't shoot me or stab me. I definitely felt the love.

It took the urologist to make the story good. But even better if he had been a proctologist.

And the money quote:

"Public records indicate that Harkaway resides in New York City, at Trump Place specifically. He has a $1.3 million condo in the Trump Place residential complex on Riverside Avenue in midtown Manhattan."
