Anarchist Phone Pranks: Vol II. "RadioFunkSpiel"
|
||
|
||
Written by: The 0mega & Electronic Rebel 04/04/86
|
||
|
||
Introduction:
|
||
|
||
Here we are, in yet another episode of Anarchist Phone Pranks. This
|
||
Volume will be substantially shorter than the last, but will still present
|
||
some
|
||
(hopefully new) useful little skits for your phone pranks.
|
||
|
||
I'm sure that most of you have no idea what the title of this article
|
||
means. In German, it means 'Radio Games' and relates to something the Germans
|
||
did over the radio and the wires during WWII. However, that's really not
|
||
important here. What is important is that you will soon become a Radio DJ and
|
||
pull off your own "RadioFunkSpiel"...
|
||
|
||
The Scam:
|
||
|
||
As many others before me have pointed out, people are the most gullable,
|
||
and ignorant creatures to walk the face of this earth. So, why not take
|
||
advantage of it!
|
||
|
||
A simple scam we pulled off was to call up people, and pretend to be a DJ
|
||
at a local (or not so local) radio station. Then, tell them they've been
|
||
picked at random from the phone book (which, most had been) and that they had
|
||
20 seconds to answer a single question and if they answered it correctly, they
|
||
would receive $50. The question needn't be related to the radio, or songs, or
|
||
singers. Infact, it makes it more interesting if it's something simple, so
|
||
simple, people never think about the answer. Some typical phone pranks went
|
||
this way:
|
||
|
||
Dialing...<RING> <RING> <RING>
|
||
[An incoherent woman answers; sounds as if she's just woken up.]
|
||
|
||
Rebel: [Speaking quickly, like a DJ:] Hi! This is <insert your favorite DJ>
|
||
from <insert your favorite radio station>! For $50 can you name the
|
||
Capital of Alaska?
|
||
Woman: Uh...
|
||
Rebel: 20 seconds...
|
||
Woman: Uh...
|
||
Rebel: [More urgent:] 15 seconds...
|
||
Woman: Uh...Fairbanks?
|
||
Rebel: I'm sorry. That is incorrect. [It's Juneau]. Better luck next time.
|
||
Woman: [A bit sad:] Yah.
|
||
Rebel: What's your favorite Radio Station?
|
||
|
||
99% of the time they'll say their favorite radio station is the one you
|
||
represent. But sometimes, the sore lozers will say it's something else. Then
|
||
you just say, "Well, fuck you then!" and hang up.
|
||
|
||
Dialing...<RING>
|
||
[Wow, some guy answers on the first ring. What does he do, live by the
|
||
phone or something, waiting for people like us to call?]
|
||
|
||
Rebel: Hi! This is <so and so> from <such and such>. We have randomly
|
||
selected you to participate in our <radio station> Questionaire!
|
||
[Heh, Heh]. For $50 can you name the capital of Hawaii?
|
||
Man: Um...
|
||
Rebel: 20 seconds...
|
||
Man: [He blurts out confidently:] Honolulu! Yah, it's Honolulu!
|
||
Rebel: [It really is Honolulu, but...] I'm sorry, that is incorrect.
|
||
Man: [Angered:] No it isn't! It's Honolulu!!
|
||
Rebel: I'm sorry, sir, but it isn't Honolulu.
|
||
Man: Oh. It isn't?
|
||
Rebel: No, sir. Sorry. Better luck next time. What's your favorite
|
||
Radio Station? [You always gotta ask that question to sound legit.]
|
||
|
||
Dialing...<RING> <RING>
|
||
[This guy sounds like a real loze. Probably because it's
|
||
{Bob Retard's phone no. Yes, Bob returns once more in Vol. II!]
|
||
|
||
Bob: Hello?
|
||
Rebel: Hi! This is <so and so> from <such and such> radio station.
|
||
Bob: Uh, who?
|
||
Rebel: For $50 can you name the Capital of Nebraska?
|
||
Rebel: 20 seconds...
|
||
Bob: Uh...Hold on...Lemme get my Atlas...[The bastard goes and gets
|
||
his Atlas! Can you believe it?]
|
||
Rebel: 15 seconds...
|
||
Bob: [You can hear pages turning:] It's Lincoln. Lincoln, Nebraska.
|
||
Rebel: [Stunned:] Uh, Correct! You win the $50!
|
||
Ok, What's your name?
|
||
What's your address?
|
||
|
||
Bob gives us his name and address.
|
||
|
||
Rebel: Ok, it's in the mail. Thanks. What's your favorite radio station?
|
||
Bob: Thanks [Real happy] What radio station did you say you were from?
|
||
Rebel: <CLICK>
|
||
|
||
Later that day, we sent him his $50 allright. $50 in Monopoly Money, that is.
|
||
|
||
What's good is to ask questions like "Who's the Secretary of State," and
|
||
"Who's our state Assemblyman," and "Is our radio station AM or FM," and "Is
|
||
God
|
||
black or white?" A real good one is to say, "Hi, this is so-and-so from
|
||
such-and-such radio station. For $50, who am I?" I swear, 90% of the people
|
||
will not know who you are, even after you've just told them (especially if you
|
||
say it all fast)! Another good one is, "...do you have a
|
||
such-and-such-radio-station bumper sticker?" If they say yes, you send 'em
|
||
the
|
||
$50 or whatever. If they say no, you could say, "Well, just for being honest,
|
||
we'll send you a $10 gift certificate..." or something. I used that one one
|
||
night to find someone's address (I knew the phone number).
|
||
|
||
|
||
There's no end to the fun you can have as a radio DJ! Some of those Rick Dees
|
||
stunts leap to mind. If you come up with some new material, let us know, or
|
||
let us know about some of the success you have had.
|
||
|
||
This has been a Krackartists' Presentation.
