When I was in college I would answer my phone, "Hello this is WCAM, what do you want to talk about."
My dream job would be General Manager of a professional Sports Team or the host of a radio sports call in show. (I feel a little like George Costanza when I say that). When I drive I love to listen to call in shows, I think a segment of mine would go something like this......
ME: Hello, you’re
on sports talk with Cam, who am I speaking with?
CALLER: Hey, this
is Philip from Oklahoma City, where do you think Kevin Durant will play next
year?
ME: I hope he
stays in OKC. If he goes to Golden State then his career is just Scottie
Pippen. I would think KD is a Michael Jordan person and wants to build around
himself. OKC is close and only a few shots from being in the final. I think
they can find that piece.
Again, if he chooses to go to Golden State in hopes of
winning a championship he better hope he wins, and if he does he will be known
as Scottie Pippen, which means he can only win if he’s #2. Scottie needed MJ,
Dwayne Wade needed Shaq and Lebron. He’d be the caddie, not the player.
ME: Hey, you’re
on sports talk, who is calling?
CALLER: Hey, this
is Tyler from Raleigh. Who is the better pitcher, Jake Arrieta or Clayton Kershaw.
ME: Well Jake is
third behind Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner.
CALLER: You’re crazy,
Arrieta is the most dominating pitcher in the game.
ME: Don’t ask the
question if you don’t want the answer. Arrieta is the best at pitching naked,
have you seen the pics from the ESPN Body Issue? But Kershaw’s stats are by far
better and he is pitching for a worse team. And I just love Mad Bums, he is a
BIG GAME pitcher.
ME: Let’s go to
another caller?
CALLER: Hey this
is Warren from Nashville, should Klinsmann be fired?
ME: Who is
Klinsmann?
CALLER: He’s the
coach of the World Cup Soccer Team?
ME: Oh, Soccer. I
don’t think anybody really cares. I hate for any guy lose his job so I say keep
him.
CALLER: Man,
Klinsmann sucks and we can’t win any big game.
ME: Go find a
communist station that cares, this is a sports talk show and we don’t discuss
soccer.
ME: Hey you’re on
Sports Talk with Cam, who is calling
CALLER: Hey, this
is Karen from Dallas. How do you feel about the US Open and the way the penalty
stroke played out against Dustin Johnson?
ME: First, was it
just me or was the fact that the Open was being televised on Fox with new
announcers, did it sound completely awkward? I don’t know.
First, the USGA completely screwed that up and they need to
just fess up to their mistake and move on.
Second, I am glad DJ won but I think Fox was more excited
that the Gretzky girl ran on to the green than they were that DJ won. I felt
like the camera guy was focused on her and easing DJ out of the frame.
ME: Today’s show
is being brought to you by McDonalds..Da Da Da Da Da, We’re Lovin’ It. Lines
are jammed and we will get to you soon. Let’s take a commercial break.
