Some 97.1 “The Ticket” Prank Calls

Probably because I am an overgrown child, I still really enjoy phony phone calls. I have always been a big prank call guy, from The Jerky Boys to Crank Yankers to Richard Christie and Sal Governale’s virtuoso work on “The Howard Stern Show.”

So my curiosity was piqued on Sunday when I received an email from a new DetroitSportsRag reader claiming that he and his friends have spent the last several years making phony phone calls to the “talent” at WXYT-FM.

I don’t know, I enjoyed these prank calls mainly because I can’t stand the dolts at 97.1. You can be the judge of their quality.

(Hopefully, in the future they will get away from all of the gay hijinks as this isn’t “The Drew Lane Show.”)

Anyway, I have deputized these anonymous goofballs as the Official Prank Phone Callers of the DSR. I am hoping in the future they will have some DSR-related prank calls for our amusement, and that they don’t laugh over the punchlines.

In the meantime, here are a few of their calls. At the very least, the one where Jeff Riger admits that nobody likes him or his show is classic.
