The Musacha Tapes is a collection of prank calls made by prank call artists known as "Big Ant" and "Lionel", as their real names are never credited. The calls are in the style similar to The Jerky Boys, but a little more brash. The Jerky Boys are in the "Thank you" section of the liner notes from the album, although no direct affiliation of the Jerky Boys is known.
The characters portrayed by Big Ant are similar to the ones portrayed by Johnny B of the Jerky Boys. John Musacha and the surname "Musacha" appear regularly on the album as character names such as "Giovanni Musacha", who is an 'adverse advertiser' or John Musacha, a character similar to Frank Rizzo from the Jerky Boys. Lionel's characters are based on racial stereotypes of African-Americans and Italians, often unintelligible to the caller.
