A man in New Jersey has received more than 15,000 messages and calls thanks to an elaborate prank put together by his sons...

Nick's birthday was the 16th but days before he was already receiving well wishes from complete strangers like ‘Nick’ who recently contacted wishing him a happy birthday. Ferry asked how the guy knew it was his birthday. Nick told him “I saw it on a billboard.”

Ferry’s face and phone number are both listed on the giant billboard as you drive the Black Horse Pike into Atlantic City toward the casinos. It says, “Wish my dad happy birthday, love your sons.”

“I’m going with it,” said Ferry. “I’m having a good time. Most of the messages have been … well two or three that were not nice.”

As far as if their dad will ever get them back?

“I would love to see him try,” said Mike Ferry. “I just want to say I love my dad. He always puts other people first, especially me and my brother.”

The billboard will stay up until April 6.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
