Life Lessons I Learned From Radio

This guy gave me a call this morning. I was just heading out to work when the phone rang, and it was Drew Savage, a popular radio host from the local station Z95.3. It seems my casual entry into the Battle of the Sexes contest had become an oddly surreal event and I was now a contestant. Being on the radio is weird: you realize people all across the city are listening to what you are saying at that exact moment, you don't hear the sound effects and music everyone else does, and talking to these radio personalities on the phone is like talking to your radio but the people respond.

Anyway, here's how the battle went down:

In short, I learned two things today:

1. Never promise what you can't deliver.

2. Adding salt to water increases the time it takes the water to boil.

On top of all that, I was late for work. I had originally thought that this would be okay as I imagined bringing in trays of lattes, mochas and caramel apple ciders with bags of chocolate croissants for everyone, but in the end, I was late, had no food, and a loser.

Thank you Drew Savage.
