People call wanting us to do stories all the time. Sometimes they're calling to let us know about events or have a decent idea that we pick up. Other times they're crazy people who want to share their crazy message with other people.
A gentleman called today wanting us to do a story on discrimination ... committed by our station many years ago. A majority of the conversation isn't important, but then he said this:
"You can tell from my voice that I'm a black man."
It was at this point that I transferred him to our assignment editor, who said the man was high.
I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried..
