Being a dedicated JJJ listener I didn’t listen to Fox FM back when I lived in Melbourne.  But my girlfriend (now wife) did and on their morning show in 2006 they had a competition called Fan-Tastic!  Essentially you sent in an email discussing what you were a rabid fan of and if you sounded interesting you would get a follow-up call.  If that went well they would ring you one morning for a short interview about your obsession then ask you 3 questions on the subject.  Each time you answered correctly and the money went up with the option to take the money at any time – the max you could win was $500.

Well at my girlfriends suggestion I did indeed email them discussing my love of The Transformers.  I received the follow up call – not knowing that I was not on air I tried to be as amusing as possible.  This got me on air the following week and… well, best you watch the video and listen for yourself what happened eh!

Did you enjoy this video?  Would love to hear from you in the comments section below!
