This morning I was out on my normal run heading toward downtown Grand
Blanc and at about 2 and a half miles I get to the local ice cream
shoppe where I see a van with a lot of speakers in the back and then
I notice that it is CK 105.5 Flint's van and there are some people
gathered around. So I approach as well and talk to the radio show
dude. Apparently they were giving free tickets to movies, cedar
point and also tickets to "Lapeer Days."

The catch was that you had to suck up helium and with out saying
"ummm" "and" or "or" you had to explain why you wanted the tickets.
So I waited around for about 20 minutes and listened to the people
before me try to win their tickets. One lady had to do something
different to win the "Lapeer Days" fair tickets. She had to come up
with 5 different words out of the letters found in lapeer. Everyone
won.... The lady that won the Cedar Point tickets she sounded
demented like something out of "The Excorcism" but she won.

I talked with the radio dude about my podcast and about running and
other things. He asked if I ever considered being on radio? It
definitely was interesting to think about that. My mom suggested
that I maybe setup their computers to get in the door to do radio
show stuff.

Anyway, so my time was up and the previous lady brought in another
helium balloon from Krogers. I talked with Mike and Stephanie from
the morning show and told them I ran the marathon. They said I
should be good because I have good lungs. So I sucked up half of
this helium balloon (which is one of my favorite things to do). And
said something along the lines of. "I love listening to Mike 'plus'
Stephanie from CK 105. I really want these tickets to Cedar point so
I can take my fiance with me to have some fun." I said a few more
things and I completed it without saying and "ummm" "and" or "or".
Which is a miracle because I say them a lot in the memorycrawler
podcast. Oh and I also said something about how Mike and Steph
should listen to my podcast and I shamelessly plugged in
memorycrawler!!!!

All in all, it was yet another random and fun experience that really
makes your week. These types of random occurrences really make life
a lot of fun and are perfect for posting on memorycrawler. Who would
have thought that I would get free Cedar point tickets on my run as
well as sound so funny on the radio! It was a perfect random
morning. Now I get to take a bus down to cedar point this
Tuesday.... more memories to come with this....
