What is that NOISE I hear?


This is just a thought. Kind of a general rule-of-thumb for not annoying a friend.

I work for country radio station #1 (of course we're number 1. duh.)
We now have direct competition with country station #2. It's a FIERCE competition. Think Cubs vs. Brewers. Or Packers vs. Vikings. That's how it is. We've been #1 for a long time, and were the only game in town for a while. This OTHER station is right down the road, and are trying to take our listeners.

So, on to my point. You are my friend. You ask me to come over and watch your boys while you run a quick errand. The LEAST you could do is make sure that station #2 is not playing in your boy's room! First of all, he's 5 months old, so I know it's not him tuning the station in. Second...COME ON! Seriously, I could care less if you listen to the other station. Everyone has their own choice and opinion. But I don't want to KNOW about it. You can have any other station in town on your radio. Just not country station #2. It's like a dagger to the heart, really. I should have taken that $20 you offered me for watching them.

Ok, I feel better now. Am I unjust in feeling this way? Probably. But like I said, it's a competition. And who wants to know their friends are rooting for the competition? Just humor me and at least pretend you listen to my station!

THAT is ok. I can handle that. Even though I know you're lying. John Deere Green is COUNTRY! :o)

I listen to your station.

And I'm not even lying.
