Corey’s “Free Ride” Blog: Catch a Goo-Goo

Have you ever called 70 people in one day?  It takes a fair bit of time.  I spent six hours this past Saturday calling all of our Jeep finalists!  I am very excited to give away the Jeep Wrangler this Sunday at Rock the Lake!

11am – 12:43pm: Okanagan Dodge (2690 Highway 97)
Last week, I thought it was my last time at Okanagan Dodge, to the point I actually blogged that it was my last time.  No one, not even our sales rep Ashley, called me on it.  I even said so long to some of the employees!  Now I look like an idiot coming back for the “final time.”  So I didn’t bother announcing my arrival, and I set up my Jeep shop in the corner of the lot as always.  Dodge’d a bullet there!
Sandy has been playing the contest for a couple of weeks now, and she mentioned that when Beach Radio first hit the airwaves, she messaged in and asked to hear “Catch A Goo-Goo.”  I had no idea what song she was talking about, but I told her I would look it up.  Couldn’t find it, so I Googled, just in case I had it spelled incorrectly.  Yup.  She’s talking about Kajagoogoo, and I do know the song; Too Shy!  Mission accomplished, Sandy!

3 – 4:43pm: Great Way Martial Arts (2243 Leckie Road)
It’s also our last time at Great Way. Esmeralda and James have been great hosts!  I’ve always been inside during my remotes, but especially on a day like today (34 degrees!), I was thankful to be inside the “Kwoon,” which is Chinese for studio.  Last time I was here, I referred to it as a dojo, but since they don’t practice Japanese martial arts here, I made sure I got my nomenclature correct.
I saw my buddy Isaac again; he walked right up to me and asked if I remembered him, I said “Of course I do!” and we exchanged a very loud high five.  He’s a big Van Halen fan, and loves Beach Radio, possibly more than going to Great Way!
I also saw Allison again, who had her daughter Ella with her last time around.  Apparently, Ella is MY biggest fan, and Beach Radio’s as well.  Ella’s brother Max was with mom, so while she was talking, Max and I snapped a photo, just so he can brag to Ella that he got to see me.  Ha! Thanks team, love having you both on my side!
