'This is Roscoe P. Mutterfager here...'

Seven minutes of comedic brilliance appear on this aircheck as Bob Raleigh Jr.'s (Dewitt Robert Raleigh) airshift comes to a close and his replacement, Davy Jones is nowhere to be found. Bob presses the station janitor, 'Roscoe P. Mutterfager' into service until the Jones boy arrives to save the day.

Other April Fools Day stunts to listen for include mentions of 'March 32nd, a 'In New York it's #1' jingle and a bogus station ID for WISK.

It's still a firm memory. It seems all the daytime jocks flipped shifts. General Manager, Bob Howard didn't consider the fact that maybe, just maybe I'd like a night off, so he left me in the night slot...was I pissed? No, but I decided to create a character and act like I had no idea how to operate equipment, let alone do an air shift. As for Bob Raleigh Jr., he played right along with me, the funny thing is, the timing, for example, when he shouted turn off the microphone, turn off the mic.......just plain funny, I don't know how long I was on the air as Roscoe P Mutterfager. But I do know the next April 1st, I didn't do the night show, I did PM drive. Bob Howard was soooooo pissed, Program Director, Charlie Shoe thought it was funny and so did the rest of the crew. And that's the rest of the story..!
