What the hell are people thinking sometimes. I swear, i think it has something to do with having a need for fame even if it is for 15 minutes. In addition to a bunch of other crap in their lives and lack of a real family.
No, but sometimes when I don't feeling calling every Dispatch and Fire and Rescue of 45 cities, I just read construction reports.
Here is another thing that is crazy. I do Phoenix traffic also for Sirus radio. People in PHX get pissed when we make a mistake on pronouncing a street. Nobody realizes that half the sirus traffic reports are done from different cities than from the they are doing it for.
We get call from people all the time complaining that you didn't report this or that accident. We are like sorry, DPS didn't mention and its like 6 car pile up with a 2 mile back up.
The best is my on air name is Jim North. I get people that call me and say isn't there a porn star named that. I am like sorry, not sure. I was going to use Peter North, but would have been to obvious.
