These calls were made in 2000. If anyone has any news clippings or links to old stories stemming from these calls (I can't find anything online for the life of me) and they want to share them, DO IT. These are some of the best crank calls ever made IMO, and I am honored to host them. Bob Schriner is a prank call god. Please enjoy!

Aaron Wendt was telling me Bob went on a 10 or 15 day tour with Horace Pinker back in the day and those dudes never paid for food for the entire duration of the tour thanks to his brilliance. I love listening to stories. He also told me about Bob kidnapping Ronald McDonald and holding him for ransom unless McD's added vegetarian options to their menu. What a card!

That download is a copy of a CD I made from a tape Ryan O'Sullivan gave me. The first track is NOT Bob. It is a phone call that Greg Simmons got on his voicemail. Old folks may remember Greg as the guitar player in Live Nudes, Mumbo Jumbo, The Slims, The Zubia Brothers, The Regulars, The Royal Normans, and the Post Modern Trio. IIRC the phone call is on one of the Royal Normans discs as a lead in to a track... I forget which one. maybe "My girlfriend is Her Girlfriend, Now"?

As long as you're downloading a disc I made, you might as well use my titles:
"I've Got A Burning Desire For Deep Fried Snapple"
1. Homegirl
2. Max, The Floor Guy
3. Burning Desire
4. Busted!
5. Deep Fried
6. Snack Break

I got them from Aaron Wendt's private collection, he acquired them from Ryan Kennedy.

Even though you were very tactful and asked nicely, I'm keeping Aaron's/Ryan's titles.

Thanks for downloading!

I believe he's still paying fines for that McDonalds stunt...

Wow. That sure got around! Wonder who Ryan got them from? I've dubbed off a few copies over the years for people and it would be interesting to see who's passed them along and trace them back to the original disc I made. You can call the tracks what you want- FWIW I remember Ryan O'Sullivan said he liked the titles I came up with. I think the ordering on the tape was different, and of course, I added "Homegirl" just because it was the only other phonecall thing I had that seemed like it fit with the theme.

I thought your download would be other stuff that I hadn't heard. And ...now I know how the guy who originally recorded "Shut Up, Little Man!" must have felt years later when he heard it again!

Glad I could help y'all reconnect!

I already posted a thread on this, but if anyone wants to hear Bob's stories, listen to his interview on Shakeytown Radio (link to podcast in my sig.)!
