Interrupting the Operator: A Morning X Investigation

In this segment of The Morning X, Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy tackle one of the most annoying aspects of customer service: the ridiculously long, corporate-mandated phone greeting. Listen in as exasperated callers share the most embarrassing, word-jumbled spiels they are forced to recite at work, from unwanted pizza up-sells to premature directions to a local pharmacy. They also roast the specific demands of a famous wrestler's gym and a 1990s media store's aggressive movie promotion. Plus, find out what chaotic, mandatory greeting they plot to unexpectedly inflict upon their own station operator for the rest of the day. This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
