I also remember someone calling in right after that to say they were offended by my name (same as here). They ripped into me a little bit. Made the drive north entertaining.

I called in to Waddle and Kaplan on the old WGN show with a trivia question for them (who was the highest paid sports team member- Michael Schumacher of F1 at the time). Praised Tommy up and down, then said it wasn't for the years playing in the NFL, but years working with "the Homer Simpson of sports radio". That got a laugh.

I called the score a handful of times. I haven't called since about 2007 and I haven't emailed them since about 2009.

Can't forget "Man Things". that should've won a grammy. I remember where I was when I heard it....IIT parking lot having lunch.


That won a Manniversary 4-some...I couldn't go, so I gave it to Frank.

Way back I called in a couple time to Heavy Fuel Crew. Don't think anything would ever get me to call B&B though.

Called Mac & Spiegs; talked fan behavior at Soldier field compared other stadia.
Called B&B when they were on midday but hung up after 30 minutes of waiting (or instead maybe I wised up?).
Texted Spiegel a song suggestion (and received comments in return) when he was doing a Rolling Stones Tributasaurus.

I called Carmen & Silvy once to fill them in on something. I just told the producer what to tell them. Had no interest of going on air.

I forgot about this one....was listening to B and B back during middays and they told a Jesse Rogers story. They went into a break and I called and Jason answered...I said "there is no way Jesse is that stupid" Jason started laughing and said "Hang on, I'll let you ask them" B and B both started laughing when I asked.

Aaahhh, the gold old B and B midday show.

It was a glorious time for the Score, well, mostly. That mid-day show carried me through summers at the park district.

I called in to probably B&B ... have no idea why ... entirely unmemorable apparently. Emailed a scenario apparently relating to something being talked about wherein Coach was drunk, orange, beginning to fall down a flight of stairs, saying "Well gang, gotta go!" ... Dan enjoyed reading it iirc.

My brother won "Caller of the Show" w/ Murph once ... used the whole gift certificate on Brown's Hush Puppies ... a good call since the chicken is worse than nothing to eat.

I don't think I've ever called the Score, but I called Kevin Matthews and Ed Tyll a couple of times way back in the day. I might have called Murph in his WLS days, not sure. But probably not - he tended to talk to his callers for long durations at that time, and I don't remember having a long chat with Murph.

Yeah.

Used to call into M&H about hockey, usually in the 5AM hour. Brian at least knows a little about the sport.

Back in the day, used to often drunk call T-Dub about wrestling and hockey.

Called B&B a few times and actually got treated pretty well half of the time. One time there was a good discussion regarding testing of athletes from Latin American countries to determine age.

Never have called to talk the sports.

I call when they give away cool stuff. Tried a couple of months ago when B&B were giving away something. Had to be the 10th caller. Drinky told me I was the 8th. He was very polite in letting me know. Think he said "sorry buddy."

I won 4 live lobsters from Memelo and Koslowski for answering a trivia question correctly.
