The Adventures of BEERGUT WILLIE
Back in the days "BJJ" (Before Janet Jackson's Super Bowl ignominy caused the FCC to go bonkers, and every radio station in the country to buy digital delay boxes) you could call a radio station and do what Willie did: goof on the air LIVE for a laugh. Sure, lots of people got away with it once, maybe twice, maybe saying the F word for thrills, maybe calling the DJ a name and then hanging up, but Willie had... a system. Thanks to Willie, radio hosts all over the greater Seattle area learned to fear those 4 little words: "Ya got burger order!" Who was Beergut Willie? Was he Jess the cop? Anton the florist? Rob the pharmacist? Beergut Willie was all these people!
He was also Richard the restaurant guy, Brian the waiter, Jeff the intern, Kyle the produce guy, Tim the stickler, Cory, Julius, John, Chris and many others.
And... "HE'S ON FIRE!"
