Love You Man: Donnie’s Ping Pong

Love You Man: Donnie's Ping Pong

Donnie Black is the Producer of The Andie Summers Show. His love for radio started way back when he was 8 years old when he would record his radio shows on his cassette player in his bedroom. When he is not at work, he listens to 90s boy bands and watches the same movies over and over. The thing we love most about Donnie is his love and kindness to the people around him. So much so that Donnie ends all of his phone conversations with “Love you, man.” Yes, even to our boss, Razz on the Radio!

The Andie Summers Show wanted to take this a bit further and challenged Donnie to call a complete and total stranger every week with a bizarre request. He needs to end all of those phone conversations with “Love you, man” and hopefully the stranger on the line will say it back to Donnie!

Donnie has not been successful when it comes to getting “Love you man’s” back, but we still love our love muffin anyway! Listen to The Andie Summers Show every Tuesday just after 7 am for a brand new “Love You, Man.” Donnie calls a random place of business with a wild request. In the past, Donnie has called a dog walking company and asked them to walk his fake mini horse, he’s called a bowling alley after getting his fingers stuck in a bowling ball, and even a hospital because he wants to know the safest way to get rid of a jellyfish sting.

Every week, Donnie calls a random business with an unusual request. This week, Donnie called a sports equipment store to find the perfect ping pong battle. Donnie studied different ping pong paddle brands so he could sound like an actual professional player. The two bonded over the movie, Forrest Gump, and the iconic ping pong scene. Donnie seems to have schmoozed the store employee pretty well. Is it enough for him to profess his love back? Listen to find out if Donnie's ping pong plea to the man on the other line gets him a "Love you, man" back?
