Radio contests are a scam!!! Mancow is the king

Radio show contests are a scam. I have always thought so, and one specific radio show has always struck me as being shady. Mancow is the show. They frequently play movie clips or TV theme clips and want people to guess what it is from. Many times I KNOW I have the answer and when I call in they say "No, someone already guessed that." and then later I hear someone win with the same guess!!!

They get the answer quick, but thats not good radio, it wont get people yelling "That's from Billy Madison!". So they record the winner and play it later near the end of the show and then string the listeners along.
MANCOW IS A CROOK! And today I proved it....

Long have I been scheming and exacting my sting operation, and today I put it into action.
Mancow played a TV theme clip, I instantly knew what it was and called in to give them a false guess so they would put me on the air. You can play along.

Here was the theme quote from a popular 90's sitcom... Ready?
"What ever happened to predictibility? The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV. 
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go. There's a heart. A hand to hold onto."

We all know its Full House! To make it eve easier Macow actually says the show had John Stamos on it... 

I call in... I make the fake guess thats guaranteed to get attention: STEP BY STEP
No way anyone even remembers that show, let alone guess it!

They put me on the air...  Big mistake.
(I mean come on, would YOU put me on the air if you had a radio show???
No, you wouldn't, because you know not to trust me.)
Mancow: "Brent, what's your guess?"

I go into action giving the REAL answer! "Mancow... It's FULL HOUSE!"
Mancow doesn't know what to do at this point so he panics, perhaps this has never happened before... How could anyone possibly figure out such a perfect scam?
He tries to cover up by saying "Uh, no, it is not Step by Step, thanks for guessing!" and hangs up.
I caught you, you sneaky deceitful radio show you! I caught you!!!

  1. Can't stand to listen to that guy. He always has way too many sound effects. They are distracting and annoying. I figured his contest was a crock because of how easy it usually is.
