I'm an outdoors kind of guy so it was no surprise that I took a vacation to the beach. I used to work in a market several years earlier that was by the beach so I had missed being so close to it. I tried to make it down to it as often as possible. I grabbed some family and friends and we took a trip to **CENSORED**. No matter where I travel, I always listen to the local talent. The town we were visiting was a smaller market between 130 - 200 on the Arbitron scale.
My buddy wanted to stop by Walmart so he could buy some beach towels. I always make it a habit to head over to the electronics section every time I go to Walmart so I told my friend that was where he could find me.
As I was in the electronics section I could hear some of the radios/stereos were on. I patiently waited for a talk break. While I was waiting a Walmart employee had came up to me to chat about some of the electronics that were on sale. As we were talking the jock came on and did a godawful break. Hey, I remember what it was like to be a green jock, but this guy was overly bad. I had said out loud “Wow, that DJ is awful.” I did not tell the Walmart employee what I had done for a living. He just stood there for a moment. After about 2 seconds of silence he finally spoke and said
“That DJ is my brother.”
I laughed in a kind of “Ha ha nice joke” kinda way but I quickly realized by the look on his face that he was serious. I felt like an asshole.
