NATIONAL MASON JAR DAY!!

THE CALL IS ON!! COME ONE - COME ALL!!
MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2003 is National Mason Jar Day! Looking for the best, the brighest and the most cunning callers to participate in this continent-wide event!
On the night of Monday, March 31, 2003, callers are to call into Loveline between 10pm and 12pm pst, and try to get through with their best "Mason Jar" call. At the end of the program that night, the date will be April 1. Let's get the day started off right... and a bit early. So start thinking now: make it believable, make it non serious (no suicide, life threatening illnes, etc) and most of all make it fun! The time to give a wonderful tradition its due has come! MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2003...Keep yours brains sharp, your tounges loose and your love for a good crank call alive. Good luck and see you on the board!!!

Re: NATIONAL MASON JAR DAY!!

Not a bad idea...
if nothing else, we will find out if Anderson actually reads this board, because he will say something on the air about it.
I personally am not the right type of person to make crank calls, so I don't think I can participate... but hopefully we have some board patrons who are.

Re: NATIONAL MASON JAR DAY!!

Here are a couple tips when making the ‘mason jar’ call… Take them or leave them. Any dedicated listeners already know all of this:

1. Have an actual question. Ensure there is a viable reason for calling the show. Instead of saying “My boyfriend is gay and I caught him with my brother” try saying “I think my boyfriend is gay and I need to know if I should confront him or wait until I have proof.”

2. Use your real age and name. Adam is quick to fish out a made up phone call so know your facts. His specialties are “What year were you born?/ What’s your age?” and “What do you do for a living?”

3. If you are changing your story to differ what you told the call screeners, don’t tell Adam and Drew. Just run with the new story, get your punch line off and if your lucky, they will continue to talk to you just to find out a little about why you are pranking them.

4. Lastly, if you are caught, do the show the favor of coming clean. Nothing is more annoying than pranksters that never tell the truth once they are caught.

Re: NATIONAL MASON JAR DAY!!

I think this a great idea. Adam & Drew are too smart to fall for it, but it would be fun to see how many Mason Jar calls can get through.

It really does help if you have some basis in truth. If you insist on lying about your age, at least figure out when your supposed birthday would be and stick it on a Post-It note by the phone or something so you don't end up like that 27 year-old who was born in 1973.

I'd definitely call in (I'm a good actress) but I listen on 1-day delay and unlike Drew & Adam, I really CAN'T stay up from 1-3 a.m. and function the next day.

Okay, good times.

Laith, you're an Aries too? We seem to have lots of those here...

But anyway, I don't get it. Bogus calls get on my nerves, for the most part. There are some funny ones, but a whole show full of them?

Wait a minute - on second thought, it could drive Adam and Drew nuts, which could be pretty hilarious...

Well-crafted bogus calls are usually funny. Also, you must obey the rules. It may require some tweaking though with the FCC and all.

Does anyone have a clip of the guy who called about how he caught his step-daughter having sex in a pool or something? The punchline was "...when she got out of the pool she a had an asshole the size of a mason jar." That was an example of a good bogus call.

Also, since Anderson and Brian read this forum, we should set the date on the hub or something.
