I need that Interview

We have important people come on my one radio station I work for...very important people. I'm talking politicians, celebrities, and sports stars just to name a few types without going deep into names. I write this entry because our morning show has an interview with a very, very, very well known politician and most other news stations and major television networks want an audio copy of the interview...the day before it airs. I hate this. Technically I'm not allowed to release it, and I don't because I like my job. I get a call from a lovely major network news assistant asking for me to give him a copy because he already has the transcript (probably a lie). So I don't give him the interview (plus I have no idea even how to over the phone). He gets increasingly angry with me, which leads to this lovely exchange at the end"

Him: "Give me your name."

Me: "Sir, I'm not giving you my name"

Him: "Then give me your Boss's name."

Me: (Insert boss's name here)

Him: "Thanks for your help tonight asshole."

Me: "Your welcome, good-bye."

Him: "Die."


I laughed so hard at that. I love angry people, especially when my hands are tied. PLUS he called in on my call in line, not my stations main number. People are angry idiots.
