Here’s a silly new feature that will require you to load up one phone call per incoming line, with the only criteria being that each person calling must have had breakfast that day.  Put one, very specific mystery breakfast item in a sealed envelope (i.e. Honey Nut Cheerios, link sausage, English muffin, etc.).  Ask each caller to tell you what they had for breakfast.  The first person to name the mystery item in the envelope wins a prize.  Call this “What Did You Have For Breakfast?”  Part of winning in morning drive is to cultivate silly fun.  This does that if executed properly!

Easter is not too far off.  If you have some prizes to give out, have kids call in to do Easter tongue twisters.  It’ll sound cute, even funny, as the kids botch them in an effort to win something.  Of course be the good guys and give them the prizes anyway.  Some Easter tongue twisters can be found here.

The Pope resigns and people speculate what happened.  Kim Kardashian gets pregnant and the rumors begin.  Jack Nicholson approaches Jennifer Lawrence to proposition her at the Oscars and everyone guesses as to what’s up.  All stuff ripe for gossip.  As Americans we like to make stuff up when we don’t know the full story.  Which leads to a new feature called, “What Aren’t They Telling Us?”  You throw out the juicy pop culture or news item and listeners make up components of the story to begin the rumor mill!

A friend mentioned how he went to get his car serviced one Saturday morning and they offered to detail it for $10 off.  He did it, and then while riding down the highway after it was done, his antenna ripped off in the wind.  So he went to the dealer and bought a new antenna.  The price?  $10!  He then said, “That’s how life mocks me.”  So, here’s a new feature called “That’s How Life Mocks Me” where listeners tell you stories about how they got a good deal, only for it to be negated by what happened to them just after.

With Alicia Keys now joining the long list of people who’ve sung the National Anthem at a Super Bowl, you can do “And the Home of the Brave” to celebrate.  You will find at this link the list of artists who’ve done the Anthem at previous Super Bowls (Anita Bryant, Super Bowl 3!!).  Find the audio of three artists on You Tube.  Each of the three sing two words of the last line of the song.  Edit them together.  The first listener to correctly identify all three artists wins.
