Tulsa, OK, radio announcers Brent Douglas and Phil Stone created the character of Roy D. Mercer as a hillbilly variation on the Jerky Boys -- a comedian whose act is entirely based on prank phone calls. Mercer rose from obscurity in 1997, when he graduated from a featured bit on the duo's radio show to a contract with Capitol Records.

Douglas, who performs Mercer's voice, uses the character as a vehicle for comedy sketches in which he performs prank calls. In most of these sketches, Mercer will demand that the recipient of a call pay him money for some incident, and if the recipient refuses, he will threaten them with violence (usually an "ass-whoopin'").

Originally, the prank call sketches were a part of KMOD's morning show. By 1997, Capitol Records Nashville began issuing the sketches on compact disc.Sixteen Roy D. Mercer compilations have been released on the Capitol and Virgin Records labels.

Next we have some wavs of their funny radio calls in the persona of Roy D Mercer.
