Nobody has ever called nor leaved a message in those local MF radio stations. Never. It's not real. Radio hosts just say "Oh Lucas from Barrio Las Chapas tell us he loves the show and want us to play Despacito2.0 by Shockiro"

It doesn't make sense in 2021 and even less sense years ago when calling and leaving a message was expensive.

"Oh but what about recorded messages?". The answer is obvious, those are not even speech bots, just some randos unemployed getting pay pennies for every recorded message. What's the alternative? Some people unironically calling the radio and asking them to play the same fucking song over and over that the radio is being pay to play in the first place? Yeah sure, some bulletproof logic right there.

"But what about contests and lottos and shit?" Yeah sure, people calling the radio to win the incredible prize of some Jordan Peterson-level self help book, makes total sense 🙄

    I got a radio station to play a song once but they edited my call so it only said the name of the band and they played a different song by them than the one I asked for.

      Congrats, you yourself were one of the exploited false messages recorders and they didn't even pay you.

    I was a DJ for my college radio station and I once had someone call in but I had no idea how to use the radio phone bc they never taught us how bc no one ever called in and I was worried that if I picked it up it would fuck up the music so I just didn't pick up

      See? If those calls were real you would have been taught about them. But you didn't because they are false.

    "But RNAi, what about that time you yourself tried to call a radio to win that vapid book to gift to that friend you wanted to bang?"

    Did they answer the call? No. That phone number was surely dead. And that's why I couldn't bang her, those fucking radio stations and their lies.

        Obviously. Why do you think some radio stations still post those messages like "Marina Rodriguez, Ricardo Tonini called to ask us to play this romantic song for you", they just nuked any opportunity of that dude getting laid ever. They just browse facebook, look for a dim connection like that and boom, another genetic lineage is killed.

        "But if those were false the dudes would complain" HOW? CALLING THE RADIO? :jokerfied:

    I’ve called into a radio station that played punk and emo and it was run by high schoolers. They would do a shout out to whomever made the request before playing the song.

      Ah when I moved alone in a big city I found a radio station with cool psichedelic music with no talks nor anything, just cool weird music 24/7, and I falled asleep every night listening it and my dreams were weirdest shit ever. God I miss it.

    I used to be a radio DJ and people called in all the time, especially if you ask them to call. Even late at night! The station I was with didn't record those or play them on air thankfully.

      Yet another proof those aired messages are fabricated

      Imagine just piping a call live onto the air. That's gotta be a gamble, especially with the type of people who I'd imagine calling radio stations. Just Coast to Coast AM shit
