Description of Contest
A. Daily games will award the winners eligibility to win the grand prize as described below
B. How to Enter and play: Beginning on Monday, September 16th, 2024 as close to 6:30 am PDT as possible, and any hour thereafter at 7, 8 and 9, as well as at 9:30am, the show (RAD) will invite listeners to be either the 18th 19th and 20th callers at 888-989-9811 to play either “Treble Trouble,” “Master of Movies,” “Name that Comedian,” or “The Sounds of Nouns.” Or, to simply be caller 18 and play the “Pressure Cooker.” Invitations, including, and then following, the first one, will occur each weekday as close as possible to the top of each live hour of the show (7:00, 8:00, and 9:00 am as well as at 6:30 and 9:30am). Winners will receive A free one month membership to members.radradio.com and be eligible for the grand prize drawing to be held Friday, October 4th, 2024 as described below.
The regular occurring RAD show games, “Treble Trouble,” “name that comedian,” “The sounds of nouns,” and “Master of Movies,” and the “Pressure Cooker,” will be played once each daily, rotating between the five available time slots previously mentioned.
Treble Trouble is a game of skill, luck, and knowledge. A “hint” or clue will be given as to the title of the song in question. For example, “this is a song by The Beatles.” A 3-4 second clip of a song will then be played. The clip will be fed directly to the phone lines of each caller simultaneously. Caller 18 will then be asked to name the title of the song. If Caller 18 identifies the song title correctly, they will win the previously stated prize. If Caller 18 does not correctly answer, caller 19 will be given a chance, and then caller 20. If none of the three callers identify the song, the prize is not awarded to anyone. Once the title has been identified, a longer (30 seconds) clip will be played for all to hear proving the song’s identity. It will be up to the show hosts discretion to determine if any song title guess is deemed “close enough,” using a reasonable formula of not adding words and eliminating only minor parts of any title. For example, if the given title of the song is “A crazy little thing called love,” and a caller guesses “little thing called love,” hosts will deem that to be incomplete, having left out a key word of the title. However, if a caller guesses “crazy little thing called love,” leaving out only “a” from the title, hosts will deem that to be in the spirit of a correct answer.
Master of Movies is a game of skill, luck, and knowledge. A “hint” or clue will be given as to the movie from which the clip to be played originates. For example, “this is from a 2020 action comedy movie.” A clip from the movie in question will then be played containing a well-known moment from that film. The clip will be fed directly to the phone lines of each caller simultaneously. Caller 18 will then be asked to name the title of the movie. If Caller 18 identifies the movie title correctly, they will win the previously stated prize. If Caller 18 does not correctly answer, caller 19 will be given a chance, and then caller 20. If none of the three callers identify the movie, the prize is not awarded to anyone. Once the title has been identified, a longer (30 seconds) clip will be played for all to hear proving the movie’s identity. It will be up to the show hosts discretion to determine if any movie title guess is deemed “close enough,” using a reasonable formula of not adding words and eliminating only minor parts of any title. For example, if the given title of the movie is “Bad Boys For Life” and a caller guesses “Bad Boys,” hosts will deem that to be incomplete, having left out a key word of the title. However, if a caller guesses “Bad Boys 3; Bad Boys for life” adding unnecessary words to the title, hosts will deem that to be in the spirit of a correct answer. “Bad Boys 3,” however, would not be accepted as that is not the title of the movie in this example.
Name that Comedian is a game of skill, luck, and knowledge. A “hint” or clue will be given as to the name of the comedian in question. “comedian” is defined as a nationally known/recognized stand-up comedian of the last 60 years. The comedian in question will have either toured nationally at some point, had a national TV special, etc. The hint, for example, might be “This comedian last had a Netflix special in 2018.” A 3-4 second clip of the comedian performing will then be played. The clip will be fed directly to the phone lines of each caller simultaneously. Caller 18 will then be asked to name the comedian. If Caller 18 identifies the song title correctly, they will win the previously stated prize. If Caller 18 does not correctly answer, caller 19 will be given a chance, and then caller 20. If none of the three callers identify the song, the prize is not awarded to anyone. Once the title has been identified, a longer (approximately 30 seconds) clip will be played for all to hear proving the comedian’s identity. It will be up to the show hosts discretion to determine if any Comedian guess is deemed “close enough,” using a reasonable formula of not adding words and eliminating only minor parts of any name. For example, if the given name of the comedian is “Ricky Gervais” and a caller guesses “Richard Jarvis,” hosts will deem that to be unacceptable. However, if a caller guesses “Ricky Gervis,” thus pronouncing the name within a reasonably close and understandable proximity to the correct pronunciation of the comedian, and unable to be confused with a similar comedian, hosts will deem that to be in the spirit of a correct answer.
The Sounds of Nouns is a game of skill, luck, and knowledge. A “hint” or clue will be given as to the sound of the noun in question. For example, “this might be heard on a construction site.” A 3-4 second clip of a sound effect will then be played...in this example, the punding of a hammer. The clip will be fed directly to the phone lines of each caller simultaneously. Caller 18 will then be asked to name the noun. If Caller 18 identifies the noun correctly, they will win the previously stated prize. If Caller 18 does not correctly answer, caller 19 will be given a chance, and then caller 20. If none of the three callers identify the noun, the prize is not awarded to anyone. Once the title has been identified, a longer (up to 30 seconds) clip will be played for all to hear proving the noun. It will be up to the show hosts discretion to determine if any guess is deemed “close enough,” using a reasonable formula of not adding words and eliminating only minor parts of any word. For example, if the sound is “a hammer pounding a nail,” and a caller guesses “a nail gun” hosts will deem that to be incomplete, as that is a completely different noun of discernable sound difference. However, if a caller guesses “a hammer,” leaving out only the fact that it was pounding in a nail, hosts will deem that to be in the spirit of a correct answer.
The Pressure Cooker is a timed game of skill and knowledge. Caller 18 will have 30 seconds to answer trivia questions as read by the host. A minimum of 5 questions and a maximum of 9 will be read, time allowed. Caller 18 must answer 5 questions correctly in order to win the stated prize. Caller 18 will not be told in the immediate that their answer is or isn’t correct. Rather, after the 30 seconds of questioning, hosts will recap each question and reveal the correct answer(s) while tabulating the caller’s score. If Caller 18 does not correctly answer 5 of the questions, the prize is not awarded to anyone.
During the playings of all games, in the event that a technical malfunction makes it impossible for caller 18, 19, or 20 to participate in the game and/or provide the needed personal information to qualify for the drawing, caller will forfeit chance, regardless of the reasons for initial malfunction, including, but not limited to, cell phone cut-outs, accidental disconnection and force majeure. In the event of technical malfunction, original contestant waives and releases any and all rights and claims to attempt another guess, participate further in the contest, and to any contest prize.
C. Prizes: Upon winning any of the daily games the winner will be qualified for the grand prize drawing
All daily winners will receive A free one-month membership to members.radradio.com

On Friday morning, October 4th as close to 6:30AM PDT as possible, one qualifying name will be drawn at random, (able to be seen and viewed live on RADTV) from a bucket containing all of the names of the qualifiers. That name will be announced and that person, and only that person (to the best of the show’s ability to determine), will immediately have 6 minutes and 66 seconds to call in at 888-989-98-11 and claim their prize. Show will ensure that phone lines are available the entire time. Once making contact, the caller will then provide necessary ID information, obtained at the time they qualified, off-air, to confirm their identity. If they do, they are deemed the winner. Another drawing, executed in the same way as described above, will occur subsequently at 7, 8, 9, and 9:30 until all four winners are confirmed and will continue each broadcast day following as necessary.
