"You oughta try do what *I* do for a fucking living!" I really wonder what that occupation was... ???

[Posatrocible]

"I've been paying slutin' fucking assholes all along and I got not fucking TV!? Jeezus-fucking-Christ! What the fuck do you want for FUCK all!?"

[obscureobjectfilms]

Had this on a DAT tape years ago. Anybody know the origins of "Dogin-faced" ?

What ethnicity, language, era does this term come from? What does it mean?

[The3289691]

He's right. I'm with him 110 percent! He's payin' for the shit ... and he ain't fuckin' gettin it.

[MrDeniz456]

LOL

[ikan0uchuujin]

My goodness this is a classic. I love it.

[andykidd99]

Been trying to find this clip for years. A thousand thank you's!

[MassSh1tTalker]

welcome to cape island nova scotia

[timglasgow]

i would pay money for a copy of this without the music.

[lorneo2]

Thanks to the poster and commenters for shedding so much light on this fascinating cultural artifact.

[053tekcor]

I remember hearing this in college. We were shouting "Get it on the air!" at each other for awhile.

[jlutes3000]

This is the greatest audio clip of all time! We used to listen to this in grade 9 (15 years ago) and die of laughter! GOLD!

More epic would be "Oh, sorry, wrong cable company" :)

[jrandall24]

Be a little better without the background music....

[mutchmedia]

oh and the best part is - this pissed off guy had to listen to a message about how great Kingston Cablenet is and be sure to tune in to Kingston's AutoMag, etc, basically a full minute and half message, each time he called in over the course 40+ messages, and about 4 hours of having his Cable out. That must have been a big bottle of JD to last 4 hours without cable. hahah

[misanthropicfish]

@mutchmedia ha!!!! - thanks for the rest of the story!

like everyone else, we would be drinkin rye in suburban toronto and listenning to him over and over and then repeat it in insulting eachother word for word - we still call each other 'dogan faced bye the jesus bastards' and use his dismissive enunciation of 'anyWAY' regularly along with the odd 'you oughta try do what i do for a fuckin livin!' for good measure

so glad my buddy found it!!

run newfie run!!!!!

[mutchmedia]

Ah the memories eh, Terry. I was the guy that saved that from the delete button. Terry edited it down, there over 42 messages left. This has been used by the police department, customer service training and parties. You just can't write stuff like that. I was producing AutoMag, and a bunch of other programming at the time at Cablenet, and came in super early, and the secretary Pat, was just sitting at her desk in shock, I scooped the tape, glad to hear it live on via You Tube.

[mimickick]

@mutchmedia No way dude, you're the guy!?! You don't even know... we quote that shit at work all the time! Congrats on preserving a piece of pop culture history. I can just imagine the face of that secretary...

[MarkusWB]

Holy funny

[METALLICA6547]

this is how i feel when my cable and internet goes out for no reason,this is fucking funny!!!!lmao

[oliveaspapa]

the clip without music is from Kingston Cablenet now known as Cogeco. A sales rep brought it to me and i used the music from a clockwork orange. i was working at cklc/cfly fm in Kingston Ontario Canada. It is well documented as to the authenticity Terry Thompson

[adamwakelymusic]

I remember this! lol

Cool!!

[Jonniecompeau]

Oh my god I remember hearing that in the 80s!!!!! Classic!!!

[titsonabullsteam]

P.S. Love the classical music theme, it makes this even funnier XD

[titsonabullsteam]

This keeps getting funnier every time I listen to it :D

[CherryBlossomSkullz]

OMG - I LOVE THIS GUY - HAD THE TAPE YEARS AGO ANDI TOO LOST IT - BUNCH OF GODDAM WHORING SLUTS! YOU OUGHTA TRY DOING WHAT I DO FOR A FUCKING LIVING - I LAUGH SO HARD EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS - THE RAGE, OH THE HUMAN RAGE

[undey]

I've been wanting to hear this for years. I too borrowed my tape to someone and never got it back.

I don't like that guy anymore.

Thanks for posting this!!!

[jakevideo]

Anyone have the original without the music?  Much funnier without it.

[kissychaotica]

I still have the original recording on cassette. I got it in '95.

[rko170]

[MarkhamStreetMichael]

"Hello you dogan-faced...." at 1:50. Ya gotta love it!

"Dogan" is a term used in eastern Canada - a rude term for Catholics. This guy is originally from Nova Scotia, and likely transplanted to Ontario, where this tape originated. Rogers Cable had a specialty channel that ran a TV version of the sell it yourself "Automag" -- ads for second hand cars.

[CamboRocker]

"oh yeah mother fuckers i just want to tell you my mother fucking cable is back on"

LOL!

[rko170]

omfg i use to listing to this everytime i whent hunting it was so fucking jokes my buddie lost the tape when i was 12 lol now im 19 i never heard it in so fucking long lol i love this

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

where did this come from? I heard this on the original "CONSUMPTION JUNCTION" websight... (that only exists in name NOW and NOT NEVER in content sadly...) but I cant find an MP3 of it!!! CJ only exists in name.....ONLY!!!

[Deegan98]

haha. he uses Fuck too much

[dannynanner]

Does anyone know what he is saying at 2:30 and 2:48? It sounds like "Automag"?

Automate?

Automake?

[Donman67]

It's "Automag".

[chilledbeef]

Anyone from Eastern Ontario would recognize the Ottawa Valley rurual accent on this guy. Doesn't sound anything like Vermont. I first had a copy of this tape in the late 80s from a friend at a Toronto radio station.

[chavvyboy69]

Sounded American Irish to me?

[chilledbeef]

The story i got with the original tape-dupe from a Toronto radio station was that this guy was calling Rogers Cable in Ottawa but had got the wrong number out of the phone book. Instead of calling for repair/service, he was calling a closed office and leaving his drunken messages. Not a person i would want to call family in any case.

[StephentJoyce]

Been looking for this for years. Thanks!!

[NarutoGriffin]

Does anybody know where this call came from

[Donman67]

I had an actual tape of this back in '89, which I lent to someone at work. Never saw it again. I've been vainly searching online the past several years hoping someone had uploaded it (closest I got was a Google transcript). Much thanks to JC85 for putting this up - I can now share it with everyone I know capable of handling "blue" language!

The capper is definitely the last line of thanks (so to speak), and of course "dogan-faced", which could literally mean "Catholic-faced". Hilarious.

[CousinDupree]

On a scale of 1 to 10, please rate your customer experience.

[szafim]

I think he's a Vermonter. Sounds like the accent. Oh Baastard.

[Bergodin]

Been there, said that.

[metpetnet]

This is too funny!!

[KillEmAll83]

lol I work customer service for satellite tv in Canada... yeah you actually hear this kind of stuff. Haha.

[davidhrod]

I think he might be mad.

[toastyrachelT]

I know this guy. He was married to my cousin. and my next door neighbor. Very funny audio

[toastyrachelT]

I know this guy. I think he is nasty but funny clips.

[toastyrachelT]

I know this guy.

[arbitterm]

That was a vulgar masterpiece. Beethoven is turning in his grave.

[sangreviento69]

ROFL I have literally never heard anything like this, it's ridiculously funny.

[acroplexcom]

Motherf*ckingtastic! LOL

[EightYourVtec]

sounds like me on the roads :)

[RatPfink66]

I paid fer the fuckin shit, why dontcha fuckin bring it on???

[anodesjoinops]

his cursing repertoire is pretty limited, but still effing hilarious!

[cheeseabowl]

Rip-off of Raleigh from the sublime album robbin the hood

[unfallenstar]

DeNiro: It's me again mother fuckers.

[ManateeMentality]

The music really adds a lot to this. It turns this guy's irritation with the cable company into an epic struggle.

[or200]

Finally. I haven't heard this for years.

Thanks.
