I guess does take nerves of steel to go all the way.<br /><br />Thanks Pete. No, the cops didn't torture me afterwards, but I've been doing a pretty good job of doing it to myself since I left the show...BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-51351427503316592082009-10-03T20:32:22.610-04:002009-10-03T20:32:22.610-04:00Cool about being on the show.

You're still one up on those of us who've tried, and failed, to get into that seat.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387661050095639799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-77122441752803073162009-10-02T09:49:33.895-04:002009-10-02T09:49:33.895-04:00Thanks SoSock, and thanks for sharing your experie...Thanks SoSock, and thanks for sharing your experience.

My experience is on a miniscule plane compared to that one.<br />Our local morning-radio-talk-duo-funny-guys do a call-in contest every morning pitting the caller against Chris, one of the hosts, in a rock & roll trivia bout. 10 questions, caller first while he's out of earshot, then he gets the same 10. He's undefeated this year. He's about the same age I am, we've met and talked numerous times, and I feel like I'm close to as good as he is. When listening in the van or on the job I always get 6-8 right. He usually gets 7-9, so it's close. The few times I've gotten through to play on the air though - terrible. The clock is ticking, I panic if I don't know one and I'm shot for the rest of the game. <br />And that's on a lousy local radio show. I can't imagine being on a national TV show.<br />Congrats and good for you that you went for it.SoSockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982944966573089279noreply@blogger.com
