Okay, I don’t know how many of you are listening to the radio at 7:45 in the morning (god knows I wish I wasn’t!) but if you were listening to FM96 this morning you probably heard one of the best moments on radio! If you weren’t…read on…I will attempt to do it justice.
So Gordo The Wonder Boy is down at Covent Market giving away some Sum41 tix. NewPL’s New Day also happens to be outside doing a cooking segment. Someone decides it’s a great idea to get Gord on the tube so he’s trying to weasle his way into frame. At some point he’s talking to the studio via cell and gets disconnected. Big D calls him up and he answers promptly, “Yeah”
Big D, without telling him he’s on the air, replies “Get in the shot”
He replies, “I can’t. The security guard keeps telling me to fuck off.”
There was a stunned silence for about one second then the mics go off for about 5 seconds. They come back and promptly go to commercial.
By this time we were at work so I’m not sure if they ever actually commented on the incident but Nikki and I almost pissed ourselves laughing.
I sent an email of support to BigD, Mindy, and Gord and have gotten a couple responses back, thanking me for my support. I tell ya, it was great!
[02/05/05] UPDATE: I’ve had a couple emails from the main culprit, Gord, himself. His second email told me that the really interesting/funny part of the whole story is that the station has not received a SINGLE complaint about the incident but has received about 50 phone calls and 20 emails of support (or 50 emails and 20 calls – I can’t remember which).
Maybe London isn’t as prudish and conservatively tight-assed as I initially thought…
