- By far, bar none,
simply the best of the best as far as Listener Bits
go. Talk about not being able to turn off the radio.
This was such a long bit with so much angst...
I guarantee if you heard this live you were on
the edge of your seat. There are so many great parts,
I'm not even sure where to start. From them hiding
while the fat lady is buying "Little Debbie" to the
cashier who is sincerely nervous to the point of
locking the store, to the hot gasp the girl makes when
the phone is handed to her, to the overall feeling of
trepidation as she's whispering throughout the bit...
It's simply one of the coolest things I've ever heard
on radio.

- The question has
been raised if this was a fake - and that only comes
up when you hear the edited bit. The original took
close to 30 minutes live and I can assure you nothing
about this was faked. It was a very difficult
thing to pull off - there were always people coming
in, and it took quite some time to pull off. Marty
worked at a Speedway at the time - and we tried to get
the video surveillance tape from this store (it was
just south of Columbus in Grove City) but were never
able to.
-
- They came into the
station the following week to get their tickets but I
never met them. I would hope they would contact me
through the site - but something tells me they'd like
to remaing anonymous. Oh well, if you're out there -
my email is on the front page of my site.
