    When I posted "ding ding" the song was already on for a bit..so maybe 10:43AM EST I heard the song start listening through Sonos... but I am just a lousy Canuck so didn't bother calling :(

    I'm sitting this contest out as I don't have sirius. All your commitment is incredible.
  • I thought my 34 attempts were a lot. Obviously not :)

    Sirius App so far behind
    Any ideas how far behind?   I’m listening via app - it’s 11:10am for me and I’ve still not heard Go.  Yes it is showing “Live” on the app.  Beginning to think I’m doing something incorrect as I also never heard the winner from last Thursday.
    I’m listening via the app and I called when I heard the first notes of “Go” at 7:43 am PT. Got nothing but dead air each time I tried.
    Yeah, not expecting much If I ever do get to call, just looking for a chance to play the game.  Has the winner been on air yet? Just trying to gauge what alternate stream I’m listening to.  I’m 99.6% certain I know Go, so I’ve eliminated that as my issue.

    13 for me. You people are insane. Studio "Go" is 3:12 long. There's no reason to be trying to get through for longer than that.

    The real dedicated fans know that the move is to pound away at the dialer 2 minutes before the end of every song they play that isn't Go.

    As with my earlier suggestion that people apply for an usher job at the Apollo, I posted that in jest and then realized that someone will definitely take me up on the idea.

  • do we have a confirmed phone number?  I have tried both 1-855-973-2755 and 1-855-973-275526 and both work.....i'm guessing its the same thing now that i think about it...
  • I called the longer #,  it works. Actually got thru and was told I was caller #1 .....so damn close!

    Were you (and the others that got through with a number) listening online or on a satellite device?  Apologies if this was addressed earlier in the thread.
  • I was listening online. I knew there was a delay so I was randomly just calling a couple mins before the end of each song.....just taking a total chance. Was always busy but at that time I got a guys voice saying I was caller #1. Tried calling again, totally busy. Then went back on the online station and see it was GO, totally radom....but it gives me hope it can happen

    The longer number works because you’ve already dialed the actual number by the time you’re entering the last 2 digits. Come on people. Phone numbers are a set amount of digits. No more, no less. It’s a vanity number to make it easier to remember.

    But, as we learned earlier, if you don’t dial the “1” first you wind up calling Cambodia. I feel bad for the poor folks who have that number in Cambodia. “What’s a Pearl Jam??”   :)

    You can go ahead and feel bad for them, or you can look at it as a tremendous opportunity.

    Holy shit. It’s perfect!  A Nigerian Prince scam, but the victims call you willingly!  

    I really, really hope that they don’t catch onto this. Yikes.
