What?! They didn't offer me anything when I got through! What a bunch of baloney!

Yup! And sheer luck c:

I kept calling and it was just a busy tone. Then I got through and they asked if I wanted to win Twentyone Pilots tickets and I said no 😂

Jaded! Dang it! That first song stumped me really good. @The_real_st_jimmy that stinks you put on hold and didn't win. How in the world are you getting through so many times? Sheer luck? I've only gotten through once....the contest was over by then 😔

I thought today's was Jaded, KYE and Good Riddance. Now I feel kinda hopeless thought I might've won bc he said he was gonna put me on hold bc the other times I was not right he said "no sorry try again tomorrow" after 10 mins on hold the call hung up :/

I made the same mistake I made Monday. I thought I had the answer, called, but doubted my answer for the first song, hung up, and tried calling again until I got through. The dj told me I had the right answers, but one person ahead of me also did. So close…

I answered then he said "ok i'm gonna put you on hold" ive been on hold almost 8 mins

I'm truly stumped lol Struck out again on day 4. My original guess was NGFL, Good Riddance, and KYE. I knew the first one felt wrong so I switched to JOS, GR, and KYE. Sigh....I don't think it's gonna happen for me lol but at least I'm giving it a good try! Time to go to work with no green Day tickets in hand 😔

I hope I get thru today🤞🤞 yesterday was hard

Thank you! I need all the luck I can get. Here we go again. I left early. I'm wearing a Green Day pin for luck. And I'm nervous! I always start shaking when I dial in 😵 Good luck to everyone else today!

Keeping everything crossed for you all today!! We need to live this show vicariously through some fellow GDCers!

I tried the first day and will probably try tomorrow and Friday. It’s super hard lol and I feel like because I don’t have a Chicago area code they are less likely to put me through

I think I’m going to try to wake up earlier than a few minutes before the contest the next two days to give my brain a chance to wake up. Might have to create a Green Day shrine around the radio to summon every single one of my Green Day brain cells that can help me out.

Okay this isn't fair!! I'm 3 for 3?! COME ON! I just need to get through 😭

I had them on the phone and my dumbass said I was from Florida and they were like oop you gotta be in Chicago to win LIKE CAN I NOT BE VISITING??

Winner has been chosen. It's not me 😔 This one was hard. I was only confident in one song. My guess was Redundant, Minority, Dilemma. Sigh......guess it's time to go to work...as a loser 😭

The answer was Redundant, Minority, and Dilemma. I couldn’t figure out Redundant, one of my favorites 😭

Just like everyone else who called in, I can't figure this one out, but I'm just gonna try and hope for the best at this point

Not yet 😞 I left the house early today and put on my trilogy necklace for good luck. Hoping to get to my bus stop before 7:50 and skip a bus again. Good luck to those trying to get tickets!

I don’t have a photo at hand right now but in Paraguay Billie wore those classic black and white Converse again after a long time. I like this. Somehow those shoes symbolize Californian punk rock to me.🤣 Love it!😍

I saw „St. Jimmy“ too. Exactly what I was thinking…😂

Geek stink breath was released in sept 95 and stuck with mewas released in uk and Japan in Dec 95 and brain stew in April 96. They canceled the restof the tour in April 96

iirc Stuck With Me only got a Music Video/a single release in general to promote i believe the ill-fated EU tour of 96 and was also only released in Europe

There wasn't a press blackout there were articles in magazines and alot on the internet as it was gaining popularity. The tour was cut short and the band went away for a bit. There was a lot of TV interiews and performances. I men even mtv had two specials when geek stink breath came out and when the album came out. The played leno letterma and even the vmas and on fox. I remember in the vhs trading days I got a copy of stuck with me broadcast on mtv us from 1997 or 1998. It got over shadowed by bran stew because according to greenday.com 1996 news tidbit brain stew was in heavy rotation but stuck with me wasn't available in usa yet andby may or june they had the walking contradiction video so stuck with me was just ignored by mtv in the states

I want to know why there was a press blackout for insomniac it was great! J.A.R should have been on the album as it went #1 but a manager leaked it as a single without Green Day knowing so they fired him and didn’t include it on the album which hurt sales this has been in interviews. I think Brainstew/Jaded got a lot of play as it peaked at #3 on modern rock charts and walking contradiction was nominated for a Grammy for the music video and Roman Coppola directed it so that must have gotten heavy rotation especially if it got Grammy attention…imagine a music video for J.A.R what could have been and Westbound Sign then catchiest song on the album
