no free t-shirt or cd ka?
This is so funny I just had to blog about it.
This morning I was on my way to Cyberjaya for a meeting, and as usual my radio was tuned to fly.fm. It's a refreshing change from all the other radio stations; they just get so stale sometimes. Well actually, fly.fm tends to repeat the songs once too often, but Fly and Natalie in the morning perk things up for a fresh start in the morning.
Anyway.
The time was about 9:20AM or so. The topic of discussion was "how to break up with someone", and only guys were invited to call in, being the sweeping assumption that it's the guy that usually does the break up. Some had their juicy stories to share, of course.
There's this guy who called up, saying that he's been trying to do stupid things to cause the split. Seemed that he didn't have the heart to do the "honourable thing" earlier in the relationship after realising it's not going to work out. Now after just 6 months of marriage (they dated for 6 years prior), they're heading for divorce, sob story, etc.
Things get a little depressing, the tone of his voice gets low, even Fly and Natalie gets into a sombre mood. They took the call offline after that and continued with the music.
The show continued and some 20 minutes later, that same guy called up again. At this point it got a little funny - he asked Fly, "Fly minat kari tak?" (Do you like curry?).
And Fly went, "Kari apa ni, kari ayam ke...?" (What curry, chicken curry...?)
"Kari daging," replied the guy. (Beef curry.)
"Yea, yea... I like kari daging," said Fly. "Kenapa tanya?" (Why do you ask?)
"Oh, sebab nak jemput Fly datang ke rumah makan," said the guy. (Oh, because I want to invite you over to eat.)
At this point, Fly and Natalie were a little speechless. Then Fly asked, "Is this why you want to break up with your wife?"
And the guy answered, "Yes."
Now, what do you make of that??? Natalie burst out laughing non-stop. You could tell Fly just couldn't believe what he was hearing. I wasn't sure how to interpret that answer, but thoughts and assumptions were whirring in my mind. No matter, Fly declined his invite politely while Natalie kept laughing in the background.
Now this is the best part.
The guy then asked, "Eh, tak dapat free t-shirt atau CD ke?" (Hey, don't I get a free t-shirt or CD?)
OMG!
This guy assumed that if he confessed on air, he would get a freebie, a t-shirt or CD or whatever. Yes, radio shows tend to give away freebies once in awhile, but this is really too much! Imagine the cheek of it all, thinking you could ask for a freebie just because you told your sob story on air! I mean, c'mon, do you expect a freebie from them at every show just because you contributed a little in their entertainment slot?
Unbelievable.
