On this episode of This One Time in Kankakee, host Jake LaMore turns the microphone on himself to share a hilarious and humbling "rookie mistake" from his early days in broadcasting.
Travel back to Valentine’s Day 2015. Jake was only three months into his career as an on-air personality at Milner Media in Bourbonnais. What started as a simple food delivery order quickly turned into a high-stakes dilemma involving a locked glass door, a missing cell phone, and the cold reality of a winter afternoon on North Convent Street.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Before he was the seasoned host you know today, Jake was just a kid in a vestibule wondering if he’d ever get back into the studio. Does he manage to get back in before his next shift? Who eventually comes to his rescue?
Listen to the full episode to hear the story of the lockout that Jake hasn't lived down for over a decade!
