Radio For The Deaf?

What happens when a radio station requests an interview with a guy who's both deaf and mute? It sounds like a lot of dead air, especially when the people at the place don't know sign language and have no intention of bringing in an interpreter.  

But as Scottish comedian Ray Bradshaw noted during a recent stand-up gig, the folks at the New Zealand broadcaster really wanted to interview his dad, who can neither speak nor hear.  

And as you can see in his 90 secs. clip at the link below, it kept going from the ridiculous to the absurd.

I love the stuff at the end with the headphones. I can actually see that happening.
