Working as the host of a C-SPAN show where you allow viewers to call in can be a taxing job as there are always people prank calling. 

Most of the time the culprit is caught soon enough and the host can hang up the phone. Other times the caller gets creative. Take a man who called in under the name Gonzo from Lebanon, Mo. The topic was drone strikes, but Gonzo had another plan during his call.

Don't feel bad if you couldn't catch what was going on in the video. What Gonzo did was reference multiple former and current Chiefs players. Even his name, Gonzo, is likely a reference to former Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez. 

The other names he included were Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Sabby Piscitelli and John Dorsey. At the end of the call he says to extend [Justin] Houston or draft a wide receiver. At that point it became clear he wasn't a serious caller and he was disconnected.

If you aren't an NFL or a Chiefs fan, you likely would have thought he was a serious caller. He played it off well and by the time he was done talking the damage had been done.
