The $5 Souvenir
Each week through the summer, talk to one family leaving for vacation that weekend. Give them a budget of $5 and ask that they bring you back a souvenir from the gift shop from wherever they’re going.
The Uber Eats Challenge
Everyone on the show should order Uber Eats from the same restaurant at the same time in the morning. Let’s have a race to see who gets their food first. When the drivers get to the station, make sure to bring them in the studio (if you can) to talk with them about what it’s like to deliver Uber Eats (you wanna hear stories of odd deliveries) when you crown your victor.
The King’s Jubilee
The Queen of England had her jubilee. With Father’s Day this Sunday, it’s time for dad to have his. Get listeners to agree to treat their fathers as wonderfully as they do their mothers in May in something you can call The King’s Jubilee.
Coming Clean To Dear Old Dad
With Father’s Day a few weeks away, find out the one story your listeners have that happened when they were kids that was so edgy or embarrassing they never told their fathers. Then get dear old dad on the other line so the kid can tell him the story and come clean after all these years.
Hey Dad, I’m In Jail
Father’s Day is just a few weeks away. Just for fun that week, find a couple of listeners and conference them with their dads on the other line. The purpose of the call? To tell their proud papa that they’re in jail. See how the dads react, then tell them it’s a total goof with a Happy Father’s Day message from all.
Yearbook Memories
May and June are the months for high school graduations. Do some character development by finding the high school yearbooks of all the cast members on your show. Get your boss to read something written in one of them and then the caller must guess whose yearbook it’s from. Then you can reminisce about that person who wrote it and have some fun.
What Happened to the V-Person?
With graduations happening in the month of May, let’s get caught up on whatever happened to the person in your graduating class who was valedictorian. Using the internet, try to find them and invite them on your show. As the smartest person in your class, did they grow to become the most successful person they were expected to be?
Being a Mom Sometimes Is a Drag
If you can swing pulling off a promotion with Sunday being Mother’s Day, consider Being a Mom Sometimes Is a Drag. Everyone celebrates Mother’s Day the same way. Qualify moms all week long and honor them in a way no other program would: by taking them to a local drag show.
The $5 Story
Go get a bunch of $5 Starbucks gift cards, or if you can wrestle it from your brand manager, actual cash for a new feature called The $5 Story. Open the phones, take three callers. Each tells you a story. After you hear each, the team votes on the best and the winner gets the five dollars.
Flex On Your Ex
Flex On Your Ex is a new feature where you take calls from people divorced or those who just broke up with someone and compel them to say something nice about the other person (hence “flex on your ex”). That tension in the bit is a fun thesis, but it really gives you an opening to explore the relationship and why it ended, which is the win.
