Dish telemarketer calls WLW talk show

Anyone in the Cincinnati area will recognize Mike McConnell for his mid-day talk show. Yesterday, a telemarketer for Dish Networks called up to the (unscreened) direct celebrity hotline, undoubtedly using a random telephone number dialer. Fun ensues...

I kept FFwding, finally about 2/3 across the slider you can find the foreign speaking woman, the rest of the show was very annoying. It lasted about 30 seconds and she hung up.

That was pretty funny but Mike was being a jerk. She was just trying to make a living.

VaberMan: It's a talk show, what do you expect?

Dave: I gave the time index to FFwd to...

 

[DISH_NC]

Yeah and he was right - there was no way she was from Cheyenne Wyoming....

And I don't think that was a PI accent. New Delhi, maybe.

Here is the transcript:

Mike: We had ..., A computer called giving us an offer on satellite television.

<Ringing>

Mike: Hello

<A woman caller with Indian accent>
Caller: Yeah, Hi, This is <uninteligible Name>, would you like to receive a free satellite system?

Mike: Would I?

Caller: Would you like to receive a free satellite system, Sir?

Mike: I'm not sure I can understand you. Where are you calling from?

Caller: I am calling from Cheyenne Wyoming, sir. I am taking enrollment for Dish Network.

Mike: You don't sound like anyone I ever met in Cheyenne Wyoming.

Caller: Maybe it's because of my connection, I'm sorry about that.

Mike: How far is Cheyenne from Casper?

<Click>

Mike: She hung up. She's not in Cheyenne Wyoming. Cheyane the Phillipians maybe.
