Dieter Gets Guitar Smashed Over Head

A female listener from Memphis wrote in to say that she cried when Dieter broke the guitar that Jonathon’s dead father gave him. She actually went as far as to say that she hates Dieter. Her Dare Dieter was for Dieter to have a guitar smashed over his head. I thought it was kind of ironic that they had Jerry Lawler on the show and then guitar smashing.

Several listeners called in that had smashed guitars over people’s heads before. Most reported some pretty serious injuries. Dieter, not surprisingly, accepted the dare. They were trying to figure out ways for him to protect his head and teeth. So he kept his baseball cap on and also tore up a styrofoam cup and put it in his mouth as a mouthguard (not sure how effective that is).

Boston, the Memphis board-op, was giving the opportunity of smashing the guitar over his head. The girl should have specified Jonathon in her email but I doubt Rover wants any more bad blood between them. Dieter prepared himself by grunting and yelling and then the hit came. It sounded pretty darn loud and you could definitely tell that it broke. Rover immediately said he thought Dieter was hurt pretty bad. Dieter, as usual, told everyone to stay away from him and ended up leaving the studio a minute or so later. Rover said that Dieter’s head went through both the top and bottom of the guitar. He said he has been through so many Dare Dieter stunts that he can tell when Dieter is really hurt and this was one of those times.

The Memphis station’s program director came in and said the paramedics were on their way without anyone even calling (they had heard the dare on the radio). Several people brought up a possible concussion and I sent Rover an instant message to check to see if his pupils were dilated. I hope they don’t let him do too much drinking tonight or that could be bad news. I’m sure there will be some fun stories on Monday.
