- Jack Mann was famous for one of his earliest calls to the Mischke Broadcast. He told the story of how he was blinded by his friend in a shooting accident. Soon after, his wife left him and ran off with the man who blinded him. It was often mentioned that he was from Yankton, SD. He has said that he has written multiple science fiction books (as well as a "porno book"), but none were published. He also confessed to a few other falsehoods and then said his goodbyes to Tommy. Was this call also a lie? Hard to tell. Jack has never called in since.

- Jack Mann was famous for one of his earliest calls to the Mischke Broadcast. He told the story of how he was blinded by his friend in a shooting accident. Soon after, his wife left him and ran off with the man who blinded him. It was often mentioned that he was from Yankton, SD. He has said that he has written multiple science fiction books (as well as a "porno book"), but none were published. Subsequent calls often dealt with Jack boasting about his latest endeavors or strange, almost unbelievable stories (see specific shows below). Jack would often claim to personally know people that Tom would bring up in casual conversation. Upon further investigation, Mischke would discover that Jack knew a lot about the person in question -- but the person in question would never remember Jack or anything about him. Jack's calls continued to come in for a few years, until Jack one day called in to mention he was dying. He seemed rather despondent and went on to debunk a lot of his previous calls -- including his original call where he claimed his friend had accidentally shot him and run off with his wife. In actuality, his wife had left him and Jack shot himself in the head in a suicide attempt. He survived, but was blinded by the unfortunate incident. He also confessed to a few other falsehoods and then said his goodbyes to Tommy. Was this call also a lie? Hard to tell. Jack has never called in since.
