Wrong Numbers
We get a lot of wrong numbers here at the show. It may be that we just have lots of extensions within one bullpen, but it’s also probably due to the fucked up phone situation here in Orlando. (You have to dial the area code without the “1”, even when dialing a local number).
That’s not the important part.
For me, the funny part is people here explaining the show to random wrong calls. I hear some variation of this every day. Naturally, I only hear this side of it;
Random Co-worker: Hello, Generic Morning Show, this is Blake, how can I help you?
Random Co-worker: No, it isn’t.
Random Co-worker: Yes, I’m sure. This is the Generic Morning Show.
Random Co-worker: We’re a television show….
Random Co-worker: Uh, yeah. We’re in Orlando.
Random Co-worker: We produce the show here and we’re on here.
Random Co-worker: Thanks, bye.
I don’t know which is funnier; a person mildly intrigued that they’ve called a television show, or us having to identify that we are indeed a show on in their market AFTER they’ve heard the name of our show.
Awesome.

Other side of the conversation:
Caller: Is this the Blake that works with the STRAIGHT Mike Yates?
Caller: So the Mike Yates there is actually quite gay?
Caller: What is that, another term for gay furry sex?
Caller: Did you know that Orlando is known for its gay population of promotions producers? Where are you out of?
Caller: And what is it, other than gay furry sex, that you do there?
Caller: Well, happy gay furry sex to you!
Caller: Mmmmmmm-bye.
