So you're pissed off about something some no-brained columnist wrote about in today's paper. What do you do? Write a lengthy letter to the editor explaining your utter disgust and contempt for the author.
Or, you can do what communications junior Bryan Wynne has already figured out and Talk Back. Here at The State Press, we loving getting your feedback, no matter what form it comes in. So, when you're too lazy to write, or just want to see your rant in the paper, call us up and talk back to us. We promise not to wash your mouth out with soap.
Wynne is our Talk Back champion, always calling in, leaving his opinions about everything and anything. Mega Man, chicks with accents and why Georgia sucks are just some of the issues Wynne has raised. He never hesitates to let us know what's up.
SPM sat down with Wynne to dig a bit deeper into his opinionated mind. From scantily clad underagers, to his alter ego as "Prize Boy Bryan" on Phoenix's KOY 1230 AM, Wynne lets it all out.
SPM: Don't I know you?
Wynne: Sure do, but you were drunk when you met me.
SPM: Yeah, a guy like you would probably be easy to forget ... ooooh snap! Just kidding, you're that "Talk Back" kid aren't you? The one with all of the opinions? What's your deal?
Wynne: If I see something that strikes a nerve, I'll give a call. Like one time, I said if two people love each other, let 'em get married and then get divorced like everyone else.
SPM: I see, very insightful.
Wynne: What I wanted to say was that people who don't let homosexuals marry are gay.
SPM: You're a quick one, huh? Very clever. What do you want to be when you grow up? A comedian or something?
Wynne: I'm on the radio right now; I'm Prize Boy Bryan.
SPM: Meaning you ... ?
Wynne: I'll sit at a grocery store and go on air. "We got a special on milk today folks, come on out." Like that, but I put more gusto in it.
SPM: Yeah, yeah. But I said when you grow up, what would you like to do?
Wynne: Late Night with Bryan Wynne. Conan's gotta retire someday-either that or a shepherd.
SPM: I'd stick with the TV career. So, who would be your first guest?
Wynne: Wow, that's a tough one.
SPM: Tell me you don't spend all day and night thinking about that question.
Wynne: Probably Arnold cause the Terminator rules. Or Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I have been in love with her since that movie came out.
SPM: So you gotta thing for cartoons, eh? Sounds kinda weird. But, hey, I guess Prince Eric isn't too bad either. Gross, did I really just say that? Change the subject, quick.
Wynne: Too many parents let kids dress too provocatively. There should be an "underage" armband girls wear 'til they're 18, so I don't get in trouble.
SPM: That's even weirder. I hope you don't start talking about your cartoon fetishes on the Talk Back line. Do you plan what you say before you call? 'Cause I think you should.
Wynne: Writing down what you're going to say is cheating. I just dial and go.
SPM: So where did the "chicks with accents are hot" comment spur from?
Wynne: "Baywatch Hawaii" was on, and they were talking to hot chicks with accents. I like to tackle the unimportant issues.
SPM: So, you said that you're not a big fan of the anonymous callers, huh? Why's that?
Wynne: All I'm saying is that if you call, you should have the gusto to leave your name. If you disagree with something like my Mega Man comments, don't leave a name. That's fine. Wait, I take that back, Mega Man comments are just as important.
SPM: Well, you've heard it here guys; Ariel is hot, and people who don't let homosexuals marry are gay. Straight from the mouth of Mr. Talk Back himself, Bryan Wynne. If you've got something to say, we'd love for you to talk back to us ... in a purely nonsexual way of course.
