My station has a feature which involves local "no-bodys" who get to come-in and be a part of the show. A good portion of the people think they are fooling us because they try to use the time to pitch something they sell (or their kid/spouse/relative/ is selling). We know that and have fun with it.
This morning seemed normal. Lady who makes gingerbread houses ... and could it be coincidence ... she would make one for you in time for Christmas. Honestly, I have never had so much reaction - so many people wanting her number. Not for her gingerbread houses - to collect over-due bills. She is a deadbeat!
One of her suppliers had sued her and she got out of the court apperance by having her doctor order her into "severe" bed rest becuase of a bad back. Yet here she was ... live in the studio ... walking by her own power ... carrying gingerbread paraphanalia. Turns out he wasn't the only one. I got FIVE more calls from people who were looking for her.
Rather than be supponned, I turned over audio of the show to anybody who needed to prove she was not home on bed-rest. I have this horrible feeling of what probably happened next: She get's home ... fills out her Arbitron diary ... then gets supponned to be in court that afternoon ... leaving her just enough time to ERASE my station mentions from her diary and put in my direct competitor.
C'mon - you've got to have a screw loose to participate in the ratings!
