so I'm just going to wish everyone a blessed, peaceful, and joy-filled day of rest!

In honor of Radio Day, have you ever called into a Radio station to either request a song or to try to win one of those "4th caller wins" contests

In the mid-90's, my wife and I became very friendly with the local station morning radio host and we actually appeared on his show several times. When he did live remotes, people used to start asking where some of the "regular callers" were, so we - and about a dozen others - used to appear with him once a month at live remotes. It was insane! We actually used to be in studio on occassion and I still have cassette tapes (somewhere in some box in the garage) on our on air experiences.

When the station was sold, eventually all the on-air talent was changed, and eventually the format ... and it's never been the same. The station is now a foreign language radio station.

Every once in a while one earns a nickname. Right now my hunting/fishing/work truck is Bub. Which stands for "Big Ugly Bugger"

I did one time, to a college station. Back when I was a DJ for a couple radio stations I sure did hold a lot of those contests and sure did field a lot of song requests.

Maybe once or twice a year I get the urge to buy a scratch ticket. That is about all.


Extra Bonus Question:

Nothing more than $20.

NAY!

Ive names a couple, but not all.
Ive called in quite a few radio stations and have won things or came close to winning by being one caller off (they wanted caller 9 and I was caller 8). The last thing I won was a pair of Alice Cooper tickets and called from a jobsite we were working on in Eloy (Az) to win them. Havent really tried winning anything since.
Whenever I do lottery, it varies. Sometimes a scratch-off, other times its the other. Won a couple bucks, here and there, but thats about it.
I love deviled eggs!

I have never named any of my cars. Although I had a Grand Am once and I was tempted to change the Am to Ma, so I would have a Grand Ma car!

Never called into a Radio Station

Very rarely buy lottery tickets, maybe thats why I don't win. I have won a couple dollars before.

Deviled eggs are a yay for me.
