My Moment of Radio Fame

Meet Todd & Erin of my radio morning show!

The greatest thing ever happened, listen to this...

So, every single morning, I take Michael to school at 7:40 AM and we listen to the 7:40 challenge on B98.7 radio station. It is a trivia challenge. Someone calls in, they ask 5 questions and if you get 3/5 right, you get a prize. Every morning Michael and I make comments like "awww man, how could they miss that?!" or "crap, I would have never known that". For the past 9 months, I have been telling Michael that I would smoke that challenge! I try to call in a couple of times a week and they never answer me. Well guess what folks, the stars aligned and THEY ANSWERED MY CALL!

So, here's the play by play. I call. It's ringing. I'm freakin out! Todd answers and asks me if I want to play. Ummmmm H*** YES!!!! hahahaha!I told them this was the best day of my life!!! They said "Jenni, don't say that, that's very sad". hahaha! So they asked me what I do and I told them and they proceeded to tease about how I torture people for a living and they were very funny and just being all funny you like like radio morning hosts are. I LOVED that I was talking to my radio celebs.

This whole time Michael is crouched down to the car speaker trying to hear me on the radio. We pulled over because I was so dang pumped. Too pumped to drive.

Todd tells me that he has a basket full of questions, he is going to pull 5 out at random and I have 5 seconds to answer each question. I told him I was so nervous!! And Erin tells me that this is my chance to show all those people who get questions wrong how it's really done. And I said LET'S DO THIS! What are the questions you ask??? Here you go...

1) How many degrees in a right angle?
2) What is the smallest and thinnest form of US currency?
3) Who is Simba's father?
4) Name a Chicago baseball team.
5) Which member of the Jackson 5 named his son Jermajesty?

Guess what suckas?? I GOT THEM ALL 5 right!!!! They rang all their fancy bells and played their special music and I finally got my MOMENT!! Oh man, it was so liberating. You have no idea! hahahaha!

Here were my answers (the correct answers by the way)...

1) 90
2) Dime
3) Mufasa
4) White Socks
5) Jermaine

Todd said that I should get 1 point taken away because I should have said Chicago Cubs, and do you know what I said?? I said, well, my brother in law would be proud. SHOUT OUT TO STEVE-O! Erin told me that there is a very small list of people who have bragging rights and that I am on it!

You guys, seriously- this made my life! You know how you listen to your show every morning? Well it feels GREAT to be a part of it. Yes, maybe I'm a little over excited. But hey- it's the little things in life, right?!

I won 2 large, 2 topping Pappa Murpheys pizzas and 2 tickets to a play at a really fun theater around here. And now, I feel complete.
