Rizzo & Jeff In The Wiener’s Circle
• It’s been a minute since we last heard from our pals Rizzo & Jeff, morning duo on Saga Classic Rock WTMT 105.9 The Mountain)/Asheville, NC. While the guys are normally focused on charitable initiatives and helping their community, they did find the time recently for a decidedly more carefree pursuit — tracking down the legendary Oscar Mayer Wienermobile that has been spotted around Asheville and surrounding cities for several days. The quest was on, and after some intense social media activity and help from alert listeners, the guys were finally able to locate the elusive Wienermobile parked at “a local hotel.”
As Rizzo recounts to RAMP, “When we got to the hotel, we went to the front desk and asked for the Wienermobile crew, telling the clerk they had been booked for a very important media interview… We had no such interview. Our goal was to try to get the crew out of their room and score a ride in the Wienermobile.”
Amazingly, the fake charm bit worked, and soon Rizzo and Jeff, along with castmates Meatloaf, Meg, & Isaac were ushered aboard this iconic tubular vehicle (right) and transported on a rare ride around town, the envy of every passersby they waved to out the window.
Bonus Fun Fact: According to Oscar Meyer, the famed Wienermobile gets about “100 smiles per gallon…”
Video of the guys’ triumphant quest is posted to Facebook.
