I’m The Winner!

I won two tickets to a Major League Soccer game on Monday from 93.1 AMOR - yes, that’s right SPANISH RADIO!!!

[Actual note of glory!  "I WON!  take a listen!  (seriously)]

My Spanish speaking coworker had been trying to win things for weeks to no avail, and on my second chance of trying I won by way of a simple google search and email of the answer.

The basic question asked (in Spanish) was “68% of grandparents prefer to do this…?”

Answer (in English by way of email), “68% would rather stay in a hotel room than with their grandkids.”

I don’t speak much Spanish and I had to go to Xaverian summer school in 1995 for failing Spanish my freshman year of high school foreign language requirement.

The only two things that I remember learning that summer was (a) never take some random pills that people tell you to take - drugs will F you up, and (b) that my super hot and tanned teacher who wore mini skirts named Ms. Nau hated having body hair and removed everything…a 15 year olds wet dream I tell you.

So when I was asked on the air to say something in Spanish “Yo soy la biblioteca en la dolor de estamago”  is the gibberish that came out of my mouth to which DJ Gloria laughed at in enjoyment.

And then when asked what my favorite radio station was I gladly shouted 93.1 AMOR!!!  to which my coworkers all gave a burst of really loud laughter since they all knew that I’ve never even listened to it once!

Yeah, a gringo won the Spanish radio contest without even listening - go me!

So then when I went yesterday to pick up the tickets I was shocked to find that the station is recorded out of a small townhouse in Midtown.

I thought it was part of an Embassy next door due to all of the bars and locks on it.  When I finally finagled my way into the lobby the receptionist gave me the look of “Yeah right gringo, you won?”

Needless to say, Monday was by far the best day of my life with Tuesday being the second best.
