… Hello this is Dial-A-Teen. I’m Rod. We care about you. We’re not here …
[Description by Uncle Ricky from notes by Beeb E. Rebozo]
Syndicated superstars Don Geronimo and Mike O’Meara were deep in that cool, cool reverb on the WAVA Morning Zoo from Washington, D.C., on August 6, 1986.
Included: The Guy with a Corncob Stuck in his Stomach, which featured a prize for anyone who would get on a pay phone and convince a passer-by to get on the phone and talk to “Doctors” Don & Mike about helping to get a corncob out of his stomach. Also, Don Gets the Cash Call, where Don and Mike randomly dial a Washington resident, announce that they’ve won a radio contest, and that their prize is that they get to send money to Don. (We’d be surprised if any of the “winners” ever sent anything.)
The Dial-A-Prayer and Dial-A-Message-In-Vietnamese bits are too funny (and too real), and the send-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger is hilarious, as is Maurice (the effeminate sportscaster.) David David Haines (famous for Burnt Toast and Coffee Time) is featured with his stylized news presentation. A super selection of hit music and JAM jingles top off this excellent hi-fidelity recording of a wonderfully entertaining Top 40 morning show. Ding!
