Sitting on the Fan Council this year, they asked for suggestions about promotions or things they could do for fans. I listen to this hilarious news quiz show on NPR on the weekends called Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. On that show, if you call in and manage to answer their questions, their host, Karl Kasell, will record your answering machine greeting for you, which is funny in and of itself. Anyway, I suggested that the Rockets do this with players, coaches and/or announcers. They could do it as a promotion or whatever and I think they even had a contest where this was the prize recently. So, I was asked if I could choose someone to do mine, who it would be. Yao Ming wasn't really an option given his postseason schedule but, even so, I really thought having Steve Francis would be awsome. Well, today, I get this. Enjoy. --- Sorry, had to edit. Be back up soon. ---
Holy freaking cow that is hilarious. I so want Eddie to record my answering maching. Most lowkey greeting ever...
Damn, that's soooo cool! The Rockets should do some generic ones, that anyone could use. I used to have a Britney Spears one, but that's very 1999 now.
wow! congrats Jeff. Now, if MacBeth would let me do his answering machine recording, I might get lucky.
That's awesome! I would like Rudy to do mine:" uuummmm hello , there is uhmmmm nobody home right now ummmmmm......."
That's so coooooooooooooooooooool!!! Is there any way I can edit the mp3 file and replace Jeff with Shrimpie? Shrimpie
i hope you don't have the kind of answering machine that loses it's greeting when the power goes out. that would suck big time.
Guys, please don't use it or anything if you don't mind. This was a nice thing they did for me and I don't want them to think I'm handing it out to the general public. Obviously, I can't stop anyone, but I appreciate the consideration.
nah rudys would be something like this. "dadream cant come to the phone right now, hes at taco cabanna"
speaking of CD, i'd like to have carrol dawson record my greeting... "Sorry, but Aaron isn't here right now. He went out to buy me some new glasses, so if you could please leave your name, number and a brief message, he'd be glad to return your call at his earliest convenience."
For telemarketers: I could use a Moochie recording where he mind-numbingly dribbles on and on until you give up and just hang-up.
Karl and Stevie's voices are kind of similar. Wait Wait you'll fool everyone! Just think how often, and late thru the night, your phone will ring for your friends to hear the greeting and how disappointed they'll be if you answer!
Gene Petersons message on my machine: "The phone is ringing-stopping-ringing-stopping-ringing-stopping, Now the machine is picking it up, no call, WHAT ARE THESE GUYS LOOKING AT? There's someone on the line, they're talking-speaking-talking-speaking-talking-speaking, will he leave a message? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!" (Jim Foley yells) "OOOHHH MOTHER!!!!" beep.
