Money For Nothing: Radio Prize Goodness

This one is going to sound like a no-brainer but I’m going to share it with you anyways. You know what’s awesome? Concerts! You know what’s expensive? CONCERTS. Christ, are they ever costly.

Here’s what I’ve learned however, radio contests are practically gimmes. Many people won’t take part in radio contests because they assume EVERYONE else is calling in. It’s just not the case. Especially now when, at least in Calfironia, you can’t talk and drive without a bluetooth. I’ve been able to take in MANY awesome concerts without dropping a single dime. Okay, maybe a little for parking. I’ve gotten to see people like Peter Frampton, BB King, Bob Dylan, and Roger Waters, Steve Miller Band, and Def Leppard. I’m a classic rock buff. Hell, I even got to see MEtallica in front of a teeny tiny crowd of 600 people! I haven’t paid a penny to see any of those people.

For the love of God, CALL IN! You’re only cheating yourself by not doing so. Additionally you can get fun things like CDs and DVDs or invites to movie screenings, etc. So next time you’re listening to your favorite station and the jock says “Hey, be caller number 9 and get this, this, and that!” Just do it. What’s the worst that can happen, you’ll be just as you were before you call.

Dude, you are the king of call in shows. Before I met you, I used to always think it was ridiculous to call in.

I've called in recently and have been on the filmfreak show a few times, but haven't won anything yet. Still fun being on the air.

Dude, isn't FilmFreak a hell of a good show?
