Radio Star!

Filed under: Random

I just did something I thought i’d never do. Was listening to YES FM and they had their routine trivia, asking which countries have their Independence Day today. There are 5 of them and they named three and said to name the other two countries which begin with the letters H and N and are in South America. Being a sucker for such trivia I took a guess and sent a text saying Honduras and Nicaragua and didn’t put my name. A minute later I get a call from an unknown landline number ending with 895. Shit shit. But then I thought I might get a prize so I picked up. Some bugger says hello in a very chirpy voice. Shit..it’s them. He asked my name and some basic questions like what I do and that they’ll put me on air and not to use any profanity! I said noooo!! I had more than half a mind to cut the line but that would have been chicken so i hung on getting very nervous in the process. I’m very very bad at talking in public and had I any time to think about this I would never have done it. Just the thought of several ppl hearing me gives me the shivers.

I put the radio off so that it won’t create that horrible feedback noise and sound like an idiot. After a minute or so the song finished and I heard those two buggers talking on air and then I heard my name and a “hello? can you hear me?” I barely could, but said hello in a voice that was much too squeaky for my liking. They asked me a couple of questions on air again about what I do for a living and which university I’m planning on going to. They heard LSE as LSD which was quite funny. I was probably very incoherent bc well I’m incoherent at the best of times. In the end I think I said good night! But overall it was fun enough and I’m glad I didn’t hang up. Another thing to tell the grandkids :)

P.s.
I didn’t get a prize!! The girl who called in afterwards got to request her own song and chose Lonely by Akon! Gulp. I would have requested Jerk it out by the Caesers..so there.
