Ohhhhh boy. This is a little embarrassing 😀

So. New Years Eve 1994/95, my parents and some neighbors were having their own little New Years bash in our hot tub while the neighbor’s two kids (Lisa and Michael) hung out with me inside the house listening to KWOD. I think it was Lisa’s idea to call in to talk to the DJ, who was taking calls between playing the top 100 songs of the year. We each took a cordless phone, redialing frantically until it rang. When we got through, I couldn’t hear a DAMN THING. Maybe because we were on two phones? But that’s why you’ll hear me say “what?” every time Zog said anything (God, so embarrassing). Of course as soon as 9 year old Michael hears that we’ve made it on the radio he starts goofing off like never before, hence my “shut up, Michael!” Lisa had promised to do the talking but all she could say was, in her best Butthead impression, “uh, you’re cool”, while I pleaded with her, “Talk. Talk now. Lisa!”

Zog, if you’re out there, I want to thank you for your patience during this call. We weren’t prank callers (listening now, we probably sounded like we were). When we hung up, we went ballistic, jumping around screaming in disbelief that it just happened. You made our whole year 🙂

After that, I recorded a comedy show with Alex Bennett, I believe it’s Breakfast With Bennett.
