Yes, I've heard it, unfortunately, my friend who has the tape has
graduated, so I can't get you a copy.
It was actually quite a funny tape, although it might get redundant towards
the end. The best part that I liked was when he called up a pizza store
with a middle east accent as yelled: what kind of business establishment
are you running there? My wife, my daughter nearly died from eating your
pizza! [store manager tries to appease caller with discount coupons at this
point] Coupons? You talk of coupons when my wife and children are next to
death? You CANNOT do this to my people; I blow up your store!

GET BRETT WEIR I SAID!
Yes, I've heard this tape...
Commonly refered to as the "Jerky boys" this was a cult thing, it spread
all over the states rather quickly through the college scene.
IMHO it's a stitch, but the humor is... er... brutal.
Interestingly enough, this tape is now for sale along with t-shirts
and sweatshirts that read "The Jerky Boys" or "I'll wrap a ratchet around
your fucking neck" (No Joke!) I can't remember the 1-800 number,
call WFNX in Boston and ask for the Jerky Boys number....

Tube Bar, that's been out for ages..I also have several of the jerkies. One
Lawyer skit, and the glasses and auto mechanic. In addition to that I have a
tape called the "Vietnam Refugee Center," a guy calls people up and says
The child you agreed to adopt is here, she be ready in two week..then he sets
the angry peoples rantings and ravings to music, it's funny as hell..kinda
offensive though..
I also have a bunch of Rick Dee's candid phone skits, they're pretty good too.
My favorite is when he calls up a woman and tells her that her son is a
homo-sapien and that he has the tests to back it up..the stupid lady thought
her son was gay...it's great.
There's a station here in D.C. called wpfw, they have a show sat at midnight
called "Corn Between Your teeth." The DJ plays prank call tapes sometimes..
they're pretty funny...
I almost forgot, I also have a tape of a guy who prank called several DC
radio stations and got on the air and made a fool out of DJ's..in addition to
john mclaughlin and sally jesse raphael (he told her his x-wife was giving
birth control pills to his daughter, what's so bad about that she asks? he says
sally, she's 3..."Your wife is giving birth control pills to a 3 year old
daughter...!!!!" No sally, she's 3 months... ha. it was funny.

There's a guy over here who does similiar stuff, but sounds slightly more
subtle.. Victor Lewis-Smith had a late night series on Radio 1 (that's the BBC)
which included phone calls to places like Harrods ('Can I speak to Mr.
H.A.Rrods, please?'), Vatican Radio and the White House. Absolutely brilliant.
There's a tape of them out as well - 'Tested on humans for irritancy'. Not sure
whether it's out anywhere else though..

"Mark Knopfler" (the guitarist from Dire Straits, I guess ). I got it in
Greenville, S.C. about 3 years ago. It has prank calls to the husband of
"Amanda White" and "Charlie Knight". Pretty funny stuff. Has anyone else
heard of this "Mark Knopfler"?

Yeah, I know those. The Jerky Tapes, so named b/c the "hero" calls everyone
he calls, "jerky," as in:
"Hero": "I don't need to talk to you, JERKY!"
Hapless Man on Phone (in amazement/anger): "You don't need to talk
to me, JERKY?!"
Last year, they were sent all around campus here at Columbia via our electronic
phone system (we all have ROLM phones with voice mail, and it's very easy to
forward messages to MANY people). They were a riot. If anyone out there has
the tapes, I'd love a copy, myself.

phone number for the station here in D.C. that plays em. I really don't have
the time to send them out, but I will get the number so you can call the DJ
(He plays them all on the air in full). You should also try to contact the
Rick Dees people in L.A., he put out a tape with the calls on it (and you can
buy it). As far as the prank-call-to-song tape goes, I wont distribute it..I'm
going to destroy it. It's really offensive (somewhat racist).

calls up places. One's a shoe store--he says his boots "tore up." One's a car
garage, and he says the parts he bought there messed up his whole engine. He
offers to "come down thar an' kick your ass." Supposedly the FBI caught him. But
why would they want him?

taping some for people, but the more patient and devoted of you will be
interested in the following: word has it Scat records out of Cleveland
(the people that brought you all those magazines with the funny toys in 'em,
and the Prisonshake and My Dad is Dead records, etc) plan to release two
CD/LP/CS (or something) of the Jerky tapes and other related recordings.
File next to your "Tube Bar" CDs, kids..

yeah, I have a copy of that tape. It is a rather poor quality probably due
to it being a copy of a copy, etc.
I would like to get a better quality, one... Can anyone help out?

people and claimed to be Mark Knophler (sp?) of Dire Straits. One time,
the person on the other end mistook him to be a relative. A quite
humorous conversation enused, it's a shame I can't remember it.
