That was weird. For like, 5 minutes I was on hold, which was basically listening to the radio through my phone. Then I got dismissed (basically) when I told my story about the topic at hand. Granted, it wasn’t very funny, but whatever.
Radio presenters aren’t paid to be polite though, they’re paid to be slightly amusing, very annoying, and be able to press certain buttons on command. Don’t sweat it.
I’ve never been in the paper or news, but I have been on the Mooselodge’s bulletin when I was four, a people were putting money in the purple money piggy, that was twenty five years ago.
I was on the radio once. They were having this contest thing, where the 100th caller would win concert tickets. And I really wanted the concert tickets. It was really freaky, cuz when I got through, the station was actually playing a song, and I was talking to the DJ.
Me: “What caller am I?”
DJ: “37” (or something, I forget now, one time when I called for this same contest I was #90… grah!)
Me: “Aww, man!” (No cursing for me, this is public radio, and my parents were in the next room, and this was 8th grade for me)
DJ: “Just keep trying, you might get it!”
Me: “Yes… I WILL win!”
DJ: “You have confidence!”
Me: “Yes I do.”
DJ: “Confidence is very sexy.”
Me: blush “Thank you.”
…And then like, after the song was over, they played some conversations with callers… including me. O.O; This was when I discovered that my voice sounds like a 9-year-old boy’s, and that it’s ugly, etc.
As for TV, I think I was on the news a coupla times, just because the weather man came to our elementary school and talked to the kids about weather, then he got the video camera out and was like, “LOOK SECOND GRADERS LOL!” So my whole class was on the news for a split second. Woo.
Haha the radio is pretty cool, classic rfock at leas,t most radio sttationgs are pretyt syhitty. But htat’s okay if you’re on the ratio. I wanna be aongthe radio.
I hate it when they let those loonies on the radio. This one time, a girl that wanted to fuck my boyfriend dedicated a song to him and asked him over the radio if they could please make up, and said that she still loved him, blah blah blah. Death to all radios who let stupid fuckers like that get on the air.
