What is one thing you’ve tried that you will never do again?
(could be an activity, food, destination spot, etc.)
|
Fish, WKRZ: I’ll never take a cruise to Bermuda again. It was awful, and so was the weather.
Randi West, WRMF: The Polar Plunge. While it raises lots of money for charity…Never again.
Lee Abrams, mediavisions: Drinking! Guy Zapoleon, Zapoleon Consulting: Red Mountain Wine. My dorm roomie at UC Irvine freshman year and I were looking for some liquid courage before a night out and we split a gallon of that extra cheap wine. When we got back from our dorm crawl, our friends had taken the initiative to rearrange our room as bunkbeds next to the window. I said to my roomie, “Horn I’m not having you on top of me” Poor Horn was awakened from a wet dripping on his face at 2:30am after I got the spins and regurgitated the delicious Red Red Wine…ughh. Jana Sutter, WXXL: Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot. Dom Theodore, Radio Animal Media Strategies: Gas station pizza slices…Never again! |
Bob Patrick, WXLK: After Shock. It was Fireball way before Fireball was cool. It’s the type of drink I call a troublemaker. Meaning, it didn’t even taste like alcohol, so I keep throwing it down. Me and some buddies when all in, all night, back in the day. The next 2 days were horrific and, to this day, the mere thought of drinking that ever again makes my stomach hurt. The PTSD is real with that one.
Adam Rivers, WKCI / WKSS: An attempt to like another football team (Go Pats forever). Toby Knapp, WASH: I went looking for diamonds at this state park in Arkansas once. All I found was mud and I got a sunburn. I won’t be going back… unless my SO twists my arm… in which case, I’ll do what the boss wants. Java Joel, WHBC: I tried programming a radio station where I wasn’t trusted with handling the music decisions. I’d like to think I’d never do that again, but… Can’t be too picky these days. Mofo’s gotta eat.
Matt Johnson, WPLW: Sea Urchin! You ever had Sea Urchin?!? It’s definitely not for me! |
Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: Tequilla! It was several shots, and yes it did me in and I could not have it anymore! Erik Bradley, B96: Calamari. I thought it was an onion ring = and never again!
Brian Check, iHeartMedia: Radio sales! I did it for eight years until I wised up and went into programming. Jeff Hurley, iHeartMedia: Due to a scheduling conflict, I did a trip from Philly to Honolulu and back to Philly in 2 1/2 days. 12 hours to get there, one full day in Honolulu for meetings and then a 12-hour redeye back home. Next time I’m staying at least a couple days. Bartel. WKTU: Going to an Eagles / Cowboy game in Dallas… never again!
Valentine, WBHT: I try not to ever say never. People change, situations change, opinions change. I like keeping an open mind. Brian Mack, iHeartMedia: Try to be front row at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. |
Buster, WIOQ:
Rick Vaughn, KENZ: When we moved to PPM in Philadelphia (Philly and Houston were the first PPM markets in 2007), I calculated my OES and decided to bump up my powers to 165x a week to see what happens. It was exhausting listening to the station, I wanted to kill myself. Personally, I’ll never try ice skating again either.
Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: Fly Spirit airlines; Watch Game of Thrones with my kids; Ride a mechanical bull.
