Serving
the
Ideal Customer Wendy's Restaurants have a motto that
is a little different than most. Rather than concentrating
on serving up the ideal product -- it turns out they are
more interested in serving the ideal customer. 2:20
Ted's
Head Tommy and John Heidt discuss the odd and
wondrous journey of Ted William's head. 2:15
The
Maharishi
University of Management Mischke imagines
what it must be like for the business execs. that have to attend
the Maharishi University of Management. 11:42
The
Affable
Alex Little
five year old Alex calls in with some exciting news -- he's got
a brand new baby sister!! Trouble is, sister had kind of a
rough birth, but even so -- Mommy is already out galavanting
about the town. This is a newly discovered clip from
around ten years ago, but give a listen. I'm 99% sure this
is the same kid as heard in the classic "Campground
Terrorist" bit. 8:13
The
Lone
Gunman Newsman Johnny Heidt is under the belief that
only one lone
gunman was behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
This astounds Mischke to no end. Tom believes there was a
vast conspiracy to kill Kennedy and he does his best to convince
Johnny of the awful truth. 14:21
Virginia's
Near
Death Experience Our old friend Virginny calls in
to relay the story of her near death experience. 7:13
Murder
and
Mayhem in Music While sitting around the studio one
afternoon, Mischke, John Heidt and High Speed Chase try to
figure out just when music went bad. How did we go from
lyrics like "My sugar pie honeybunch" to the sort of thing we
have in today's rock and rap? 9:10
Look
Out
-- He's Gay! The United States has a new ambassador
in Luxembourg and -- oh-oh -- he's gay! 3:43
Diaper
Man There's a fellow who likes to go into
convenience store bathrooms, strip down and then comes out
wearing nothing but a diaper. He's not robbing the stores
-- he just comes out of the restroom in his diaper and then
leaves. But,this is obviously a serious sex crime and is not
to be taken lightly! 4:41
The
Green
Green Grass of Home Undertaker Fred is familiar with
almost all
of the musical classics. Over his many years of
calling in to the Mischke Broadcast, he almost always closes out
his call with a classic number from years gone by.
That's why when Mischke brings up "Green Green Grass of Home",
he is almost stunned beyond belief when Fred admits that he is
completely unaware of the song. 9:10
Infants
in
Elevators Injuries are rare when using the elevator
-- but unfortunately, when they do occur -- it is almost always
the babies that take the brunt of the abuse. 2:23
Norway
Checking
In Roald checks in to the Broadcast with an exciting
call -- or I should say with the most exciting call possible for
a man of Norwegian descent! 3:52
Police
Pranks Wildcat
Fox and Mischke discuss some of the hilarious pranks they've
pulled involving the police. 4:00
Soot
Oddly enough, it turns
out that one of America's most pressing issues is dealing with
the obnoxious amount of soot that we have. For cripes
sake, it's laying around all over the place! 4:26
The
House
of Clocks Tommy starts this particular commercial
like a pro, but things suddenly take a sharp turn into the land
of the weird. At times, he almost makes it back to the
actual ad, but then -- just as quickly -- he ends up back out in
left field. Yes, it's an odd ad, but I think it certainly helps
you remember the good old House of Clocks. 4:48
The
Photo Every war has its famous photo. For
instance, who could ever forget that photo from the Vietnam War
-- the photo that shows the naked girl running away from the
Napalm attack. Unfortunately, Mischke thinks he's found
the photo that sums up our current war -- the War in Iraq. 8:48
The
Summit
Sample Pack Mischke puts out a classic ad for Summit
beer. 1:25
Thermometer
Troubles Tommy
conducts an interesting interview with the official National Weather Observer
for the town of Embarrass, Minnesota. For those listeners not familiar with
this part of the country, Embarrass is a small town in Northern
Minnesota that is notorious for being one of the coldest spots
in the country. 9:31
Winning
the
Audience Over At times, for some odd
reason, the Mischke Broadcast has had troubles keeping its
listeners. 1:36
The
Obituary
of the Evening (VIDEO)
If you follow this link, you'll see a nice little video put
together by an avid Mischke fan. She took some audio from
a 1995 broadcast and then took the time to painstakingly match
it up with some appropriate photos. The end result brings
a nice new dimension to a classic Mischke bit -- excellent work
Cassandra! 2:51
Halloween at the Mischke Home It's that time of year again and Halloween will be here before you know it. This year, I highly recommend that you steer clear of the Mischke household... 1:06
Mayhem
at
the Minnesota State Fair 2007 brought quite a few
changes to the Mischke Broadcast. That was the year the
Twins began broadcasting out of KSTP and it was also the first
year that the Mischke Broadcast finally made an appearance
at the Minnesota State Fair! For the prior 13 years,
Mischke had remained hidden away -- deep in some corner of the
KSTP studios. 2007 was the first time Mischke had ever aired
his show live from the fair and -- amazingly -- he performed
live from the fairgrounds for the entire run of the fair! 10:05
Podcast
Pandemonium Johnny Heidt hits the airwaves to do a
little news, but -- oddly enough -- someone else is already
there -- and that someone else is already doing the news... 3:24
Grandma
Grandma calls in to the broadcast with a little story to
tell. A little story with a few details, or maybe a lot of
details -- or maybe a story with every single possible detail
included in the story! 7:01
A
Sick Call Mortuary Bob calls in with what literally
turns out to be one of the "sickest" calls ever aired on the
Broadcast. 4:12
Gateway
Cycling When Tommy goes biking, he likes to think he
has the run of the road. Pedestrians, old people and the
handicapped better take heed now -- when Tommy hits the streets
-- everything is fair game. 4:40
Noddin'
Bin
Laden A British woman marries the son of Osama Bin Laden
and --as you might guess -- this leads to some rather awkward
questions from both friends and family alike. 4:50
Dickhead
The folks in charge of marketing the war on drugs have come up
with a brand new (and rather interesting) campaign slogan... 6:16
Good
Samaritan
Gone Awry Mischke reads a news story about a guy who
goes out of his way to help his fellow man -- and then ends up
getting robbed for his efforts. This makes Tom wonder just
how good of
a deed you have to do to insure that you don't become the victim
of a crime afterwards. 5:35
Hell
on
Earth Virginia
calls
in to discuss (at great length) her "happy childhood" --
which she can only describe as "Hell on Earth". When you
hear about her rough start to life, it helps to give you a
little insight into why most of her calls revolve around
depressing topics. This particular call is also quite
interesting because you learn a few things about Mischke that
you probably never would have guessed... 8:26
His
Goose
is Cooked Some
poor
fellow calls in to the Broadcast and encourages Tommy to give a
call to one of his fellow co-workers. Tommy obliges and
gives the co-worker a call, but lets just say that she's none too happy
and there's going to be hell to pay! 6:49
Special
Note: This
sound clip covers two different time frames. The first
part of the clip involves the original call. Then,
several months pass and we learn what ultimately happened as
Tommy is broadcasting live from the fair and happens to run
across the original caller.
The
Death
Cat A spooky cat seems to have an uncanny knack for
predicting when nursing home patients are about to die. 3:33
A
Shaky Operation For some odd reason, people are
quite concerned about an eye surgeon -- an eye surgeon that just
happens to suffer from a severe case of hand tremors. 2:32
Happy
News
with Heidt According to T.D. Mischke, newsman Johnny
Heidt delivers only one kind of news -- and that's "happy
news". It doesn't matter if Johnny is telling you about a
new ride at the fair or if he's telling you about the mass
murder of a family out in Hastings -- he delivers all of his
news stories in the exact same way. Mischke describes that
style as "happy news" and he's more than a little disturbed. 3:25
Gateway
Cycling Mischke
would greatly appreciate it if you would pay a visit to Gateway
Cycling. Trouble is, they're only open for another 70
seconds or so... You might have to push it, but it's well
worth the effort. 2:56
Krampus It's Christmas time again, so Mischke feels obligated to warn you about Santa's sick and twisted evil sidekick -- Krampus. 10:17
I
Wasn't Doing Anything Wrong! Yet another story about
an innocent, angelic model citizen who is roughed up and
traumatized by the police for absolutely no reason at all! 9:21
Caring
for
the Kids Tommy and John Heidt share some
heartwarming stories that help stress the importance of child
safety. 4:06
I'm
Not Gay Larry Craig thought life couldn't get much
worse for a fella -- what with all the gay rumors. But
then along comes one Mr. Mitt Romney and guess what? Life
got worse. 4:50
Let's
Do
Lunch Mischke invites a caller to join him for lunch
and before you know it, you're suddenly hearing the oddest story
about quaalude parties, crop dusters and criminal activities. 7:31
The
Fisherman's
Indulgence A fisherman tries to convince his buddy
that they should indulge themselves with the world's most
expensive dessert. 3:10
Wisconsin
Government
Shuts Down Mischke imagines what life would be like in
Wisconsin, if the Wisconsin state government were to shut
down. Oddly enough, it's not that much different than your
average run of the mill day in Packerland. 6:01
The
Playground
Pervert John calls in to talk about his time spent
all alone in a city park -- late at night -- in the dark --
hiding in the shadows... 3:08
No
Woman
No Cry Mischke and Heidt dissect that reggae
classic, "No Woman No Cry". 9:14
Abe
the
Babysitter Years
ago,
it was tough for a United States President to get by on just the
one job. He sometimes had to have a side job, just to make
ends meet. 2:49
Hearse
Hijinks As a
hearse pulls up to collect a dead body, Tommy suddenly decides
this would be a great time to pull a practical joke. 7:14
The
Deer
Hunter Mischke discusses his plans for this year's
hunting trip. 1:35
A
Sissy Doesn't Eat His Buddy Tommy's having an
innocent conversation with John Heidt and Jim Souhan when he
suddenly manages to firmly plant his foot, directly into his
mouth. 14:44
The
Oddest
Interview This Side of Bangladesh Mischke is
interviewing a fellow about the sale of a baseball card, when an
odd thing happens. A rather mundane, average interview
takes a sudden turn into the land of the bizarre. 23:43
Bonnie Jean For those familiar with the very early years of the Mischke Broadcast, you're bound to remember this lady. Bonnie Jean was a happy-go-lucky 77 year old that wasn't afraid to suck back a smoke or two or maybe even forty-seven -- but hey -- who's counting??! During this particular call, Bonnie Jean was celebrating her 77th birthday and predicting that she had many years left in her. Maybe she did, but maybe she didn't. This was one of the last calls Bonnie Jean ever made to the broadcast -- way back in 1999. 10:02
Special Note: If anyone out there has some recordings of the show that Tom Mischke and Don Vogel used to put out together, I would love to grab a copy if at all possible I was a big fan of The Afternoon Saloon and never got the chance to hear Tommy and Don working together I think that must have been an incredible show Just click on this webmaster link to send me an e-mail.
Or, if you'd rather just talk to Mischke about some of the sound bytes above, or about weather in Buckman, Minnesota, or about how grass makes a different sound when you walk on it at varying temperatures, or just about anything else--you can click on the T.D. Mischke link to send him an e-mail.
