  • Julia Gillard soundboard prank calls!

    Hello!

    With only two days until the federal election, I thought I’d give Prime Minister Julia Gillard a helping hand by impersonating her electronically and calling some “Working Australians”…

    Julia Gillard Soundboard Prank Calls!

    It’s been quite a busy couple of weeks getting this stunt off the ground. Thanks to producer Tim Cuthell for begging me to do some more prank calls and getting the ball rolling. Thank you to the team at SYN for supporting my idea and getting the tech guy to come in last week to alter the control panel in the production studio that allowed me to actually make these calls. And thanks to Charles and Luke from Get Cereal. It was a real pleasure this morning. The most fun I’ve had on radio in quite some time.

    My guest appearance is now a regular thing. Tune in every Thursday 8:30am to hear me goofing around and paying my dues with David M. Green’s Community Service! Or go here to listen to past material.

    Kind regards,

  • Smiddy Calls a Pizza Place

    Matthew “Smiddy” Smith is a character regular browsers of this website would be familiar with from his numerous “Smiddy’s Driving Tips” segments. BUT… rumour has it he’s put out a range of audio tapes containing 16 helpful money-saving phrases that’ll help you in your pursuit of a life of luxury… For only $978.95 you’ll have the potential to earn (scam) yourself millions of dollars! So for the career investor (criminal) it’s no doubt a wise choice.

    As a brief demonstration of Smiddy’s latest product (scam), I put Smiddy’s 16 phrases to good use and called a local pizza place to try to get some money out of them. A visualisation of the call can be viewed below…

  • Can’t Get Enough Bas Rutten?

    Hey to all you Bas Rutten fans out there! Bas Rutten has made a number of “appearances” on my various radio shows, so I thought just for you, the die hard fans (of Bas Rutten, not the 1988 Bruce Willis film, obviously…), I’d compile a “Best of Bas Rutten” blog entry! Listen back to his past appearances in various forms by clicking the links below…

    Cooking with Bas Rutten

    Oh yeah, one last thing… Apparently my comic radio references to Bas Rutten have proven so popular on the Internet, a fellow fan from Canada has made a public Bas Rutten soundboard, which is available here:

    How freaking unbelievable is that!?! This is NOT the soundboard that I used to make the Bas Rutten calls. Before I made the prank calls above for my radio show Pow-Wow no Bas Rutten soundboard existed, but this one features many of the same clips I used, plus more. What do you know? My slight influence on the World!

  • “…To boldly call where no soundboard has called before…”

    Greetings,

    Star Trek’s own William Shatner was recently at Radio Adelaide and I secretly recorded several phrases from our conversation (I have a habit of secretly recording conversations at Radio Adelaide!), and then called some various fauna-related local businesses in search of some… kind of… creature…

    For the benefit of all I’ve reconstructed the events using a series of still images and copywrited footage… Observe…

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    I’d say more of a “Trekkie” than a “Trekker”

  • Bas Rutten directing traffic now?

    Hey there friendly user,

    What’s up? Don’t bother responding, I won’t be able to hear you… Oh wait, you could leave a comment… Sorry, I keep forgetting people can do that, as so few people do. So why not show those losers up by posting a comment? Or don’t, whatever… I’m just trying to be friendly here… Oh great now I’ve lost my train of thought. Hey don’t make that face at me!

    Anyway, have I got an interesting tidbit of fact for you… Ok, as religious listeners of my comedy show “Pow-Wow” on Radio Adelaide 101.5FM would know, on the show we recently did some prank calls using a soundboard of famed Dutch street-fighting sensation Bas Rutten. Without sounding arrogant (oh who am I kidding?) they were HILARIOUS! I do believe it’s the funniest thing I’ve done, and probably will ever do. So I guess I should get out of the comedy game while I’m still on top… ahhhhh I’ll take my chances… Anyway, I turned the 16-minute radio segment into a YouTube clip by adding some images for comic effect. You can see “Bas Rutten Calling” Parts 1 & 2 on the Video Page of this website. I thought this was going to be the next Chris Crocker “Leave Britney Alone” Internet phenomenon… But it didn’t get that many views (At this stage they’ve been up for a few weeks and only a couple of hundred views… pretty lousy). So my good friend Nick Godfrey suggested just uploading one of the prank calls, instead of all 6, reasoning that your average YouTuber only has a 30 second attention span. SO… I employed some of my knowledge gained in my 3 years of studying psychology at a university level and chose to upload the call that I believed would gain the most attention… the one where we called a hooker… because, let’s face it… sex sells… which is also why this time I gave it the title “Bas Rutten Soundboard Prank Call Hooker,” and here it is:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OetgbVrm8yw

    Now, you’ll notice I also chose a display image of a sexy woman speaking on the phone (sex sells). And what do you know? Within 19 hours it was ranked #10 most viewed video on YouTube Australia in the category of ‘Comedy’ for February 5th 2008!

    Now, this has also had some additional flow-on effects… For some reason, an Italian porn site decided to embed my video on their website. Now, as I included my website URL on one of the images in the video, there have been a recent spike in the number of (I assume horny) Internet users from Italy and nearby European nations (as well as The Netherlands – home of Bas Rutten), visiting davidmgreen.com. According to my statistics below I’ve had more views from those countries than my own native Australia!

    The moral of this story: Behold the powerful result of an Adelaide night where Bas Rutten, sex and comedy combined with the Internet!

    Stay tuned to davidmgreen.com (if that’s even technically possible) for more David M. Green-style comedy… well that’s convenient isn’t it…
