Rollye James

Rollye James, WGN Radio late night host Mondays through Thursdays 10pm-1am CT, joins Lisa Dent to talk about what makes her show so unique and how her listeners keep her on her toes. Listen in while Rollye talks about the birth of ‘Bumper Stumpers,’ her career as a whole, the most memorable interaction she had with a listener, the honest truth behind why she continues to entertain her loyal listeners, and more.

Fun playing trivia as always!

Holding over our main question till next week to give you time to think about. Listen in to find out the question! As for Bumper Stumpers, this was the last week with the letter “L”. Groups or artists’ first names all began with “L”.

Rollye is back! On this Monday Night Trivia, listeners answered a couple of the questions correctly (and one we’ll hold over until next week). Here’s what answers were revealed:

Police spend 15% of their time on the job time on this. What? Responding to false burglar alarms. As of the early 2000s, Los Angeles cops responded to 106,000 alarm calls. 95% were false. In2004 the city began assessing a $115 charge for false alarm response, probably a lot more than that now.

Over 40 million of these have been sold in the US since the late 1950s, yet almost nobody admits to buying one. What? Plastic Pink Flamingos. Would you admit it?

Fun, as always playing Monday Night Trivia.

No one got the straggler from last week, so we revealed at the end of the show: In World War 2, it only happened to 1 in 50 soldiers. At the start of the gulf war it happened to 1 in 4. What happened? Death by friendly fire (Americans accidentally shooting fellow Americans).

As far as Bumper Stumpers A to Z, we were working on the letter “L”. All the artists’ first names or group names began with “L”. We’ll probably continue with L for next week.

You guys were good last night—aced multiple questions on Monday Night Trivia: 

Whenever you do this, and you probably do this a lot, more than half a million people around the world are doing it at the exact second you do.  Do what?  Hit the spacebar on a computer keyboard. (It’s actually estimated to be 600,000 hits every 1/10th of a second.  It’s the most used key on the board. 18% of all hits go to the space bar.) 

Recorded history tells a sociological tale.  World wide it’s common to find periods of feasts and famines, weather disasters and calm seas, but only 8% of the earth’s recorded history reveals periods of this.  Of what?  Peace worldwide.  (92% of recorded history includes a war somewhere.)

These have been around forever but it wasn’t until the 1950s that the first electric one was sold. Electric what?  Wheelchair.  (1956. Invented by Herbert Everest & Harry Jennings, who also invented the first folding wheelchair in 1933.)

You didn’t do as well with Bumper Stumpers A to Z.  We tackled the letter “K”.  All the artists’ first names, or group names began with K.

Lots of calls last night for Monday Night Trivia and all of them are appreciated.

We never got an answer to our trivia straggler from last week, but Rollye ran out of time before James could offer up his 370 guesses, so we’ll open with it next Monday, and if James (or you, if you call) doesn’t get it quickly, Rollye will reveal and move along.

As for Bumper Stumpers A to Z, we completed the letter “J” (group or artist first names beginning with “J”) and in the 2nd hour, offered some Memorial Day related ditties.

Fun playing trivia with you last night. Rollye’s question:

We are talking people here. Looking at statistics and humans on the planet, 25% of the worldwide population of this are in the United States. World population of what? Prisoners. The US has 25% of the world’s prison population. 2.2 million. China is next with 1.5 million, then Russia with 880,000.

We’re still working on the second question—giving you a week to think about it, if you were listening and remember it.

As for the Bumper Stumpers—All the artists were John or Johnny (or Johnnie, as the case might have been):

Monday Night Trivia was fun as always, thanks to your calls. We have one question we’re holding over for next week and if you were listening, you know what it is. As for the one you got: One company, with numerous locations, loses 590,000 of th isitem to theft every year. What’s stolen… and from what company is it taken? Towels – Holiday Inn.

Bumper Stumpers A-Z, we’re still working on the letter J. This week all the artists’ first names were Joe.

We had fun playing trivia with you Monday night but, no one could guess the question Rollye put forth. The question was:

88% of employees say they’ve done this. Don’t what?  Told lies on behalf of their supervisors.

For bumper stumpers we did have a few correct answers. Rollye made it easy. All of them were done by Jimmy– but what Jimmy and what song?
