    Does Delilah count? I made up a hearbreak story and got on the Delilah show when I was in high school. I used a twangy Wyomin' accent n' everthun.

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        I have called ESPN radio a couple of times, with Doug Gottlieb and Eric Kuselias, also once on Fox Sports with John Fricke.

        I have always wanted to call Dan Patrick just to say a silly height and weight like "5'3" 375 pounds" "6'8" 125 pounds." If you ever hear something that silly, it may just be me!

          Years ago, I tried to get on Jim Rome but didn't get past the screener.

          In the summer before my junior year at BYU I was a regular caller to the Power Hour with Helen Powers on KBER. I've called the Dayton Sports Scene on WING 1410 quite a few times, but I grew sick of Mark Neal and his non-AQ hate. I think their biggest mistake was dropping Craig Miller, who really balanced out Mark's extreme viewpoint.

          A few months ago I started to listen to WONE 980's Mark "The Skipper" Schlemmer. He is an acquired taste, but I'm really starting to like him now. I've called him a couple of times and he's been fun to talk to.

            Do you listen to any of the Cleveland Area radio shows?? There is this guy who is from Cleveland that is on Columbus' 1230 The Zone who talks very fast like he is all drugged up on red bull... I think he goes by "The Brick"..

              No, but I have had my email read on Jim Rome. Twice.

              Rack him!

                Hey so did I, on Valentines Day. She asked how many times I've been in love, and I sighed and said "twenty six."

                  Twice with Rome before he was so huge ( I think Portland was one of his first affiliates). I was in Utah when the King and I show first started. I often listened that trainwreck at work. I won at least 15+ of their stupid trivia contests, but never once ventured into SLC for my free hotdog or Bees tickets.

                        It's not Vick the Brick, is it? I think he's out of LA and is on the Chris Myers show. If not, I haven't heard him. I don't get the Columbus or Cinci stations very clearly.

                          Nope. I have always wanted to be on tv describing the sound of the tornado that hit my trailer park, but that would have its drawbacks. Like being in a tornado...and living in a trailer park.

                            Rusty the Baliff never interviewed anybody. It was Doug Llewelyn.

                            And now I see the litigants for our next case are entering the courtroom....
