Terry said his radio son, drinky, will be co hosting with him Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday is short because of the White Sox. So lets do the contest on Thursday.

Guess the total amount of times he says "Ahhh" in a 5 hour show.

Now, we need counters. I can only do the 5pm hour. Which I will. We need volunteers to count the 1pm hour, 2pm hour, 3pm hour and 4pm hour. Transition counts for those wondering.

Closest to the number wins. I've got no prize for you. Maybe somebody here can do a prize. If not, you have bragging rights. So that's something. But, if you hit the number on the nose you win a date with Spaulding.

Spaulding: Hey!!!!!

Beardown: Sorry, you have no say in this.

So, take your guesses and please volunteer to take an hour to count. Thank you.

No volunteers to count? You guys suck. Try to do something fun for the board and you guys won't help. Fine. If no volunteers, I'll just multiply the 5pm hour by 5 and that will be the OFFICIAL NUMBER. Give your guesss.

BEARDOWN's GUESS: 237 "Ahhhhhs"

Spaulding: Praying to the heavens it does not land on 237.

Beardown: Hey!!!!!!

Spaulding: :lol:

I'm a fan, but you're Hennig, Hogan is a better idea for a thread and we the CSFMB are The Genius (AKA Leaping Lanny Poffo) looking on in the background.

Oh. In my mind I always win.

Hey, can we get back to the thread mission? LET'S DO THIS!!! Guesses and volunteers, please? Why can't we have fun? Don't let your hate for me get in the way of this contest.

I thought I made it clear.

How many "Ahhs" drinky says during Thursday's show. I've given up Spaulding, as a date, without her consent, for hitting the exact number. You're responsible for the prize for the "Closest to the number", Big Fan.

My opinion: Drinky will get word of this and try hard not to say "AHHH". It will be tough for him even if he's trying not to say it. He's an "AHHH" speaker. It's his nature. That being said, it will probably be less "AHHHS" cuz he knows the contest is taking place. So, take that into consideration when you guess. I'm sticking by my number despite realizing this.

I think it should be a contest about Silvy instead. And I dont like the venue where it's being held.

If I win, I promise you would hear double the amount of Ahhhs from Spaulding on our date

Figured it'd be more 'Ha' than 'Ah' ...

I still do what I said. I'll count the 5pm hour and multiply it by five. That will be the total for the few that played.

Granted, it won't be indicative of the actual number since it's WYC today and that means callers speak more than drinky for a half hour.

How has drinky been today? Bad? Stupid? Or bad and stupid?

The Good: Getting Terry far more engaged by putting direct questions to Terry and allowing for an answer to be formed. Moving the show along where they haven't gotten bogged down with any one topic and haven't beaten any dead horses. Expressing a preference for phone in Craps. Terry not sounding like yesterday, when he stayed home.

The Bad: At one point the "Ahhhs" almost became a distraction but my stream is crap.

The Really Bad: My stream has been crap to the point that I keep hearing the same bit about the Simpsons (~10 times an hour). Makes it hard to go to the trouble to reconnect knowing that I will hear it again.

Edit: Reading e-Craps, the undisputed downfall of WYC, which has become extremely tedious to keep my attention.

5:00-5:30: 9 (Because of WYC and limited talking)

5:30-6:00: 23

Total in the 5pm hour: 32

Here's what I've decided to do. I'm just gonna take the last half hour of the show and multiply it by 10. That's more indicative.

So, the number of "Ahhhhs" on today's show is offically 230

My guess was 237. Go back and check. Pretty damn good, huh? I win. Hell, if we had counters, it might have actually hit on my number. I would have won the date with Spaulding.

I didn't hear much today, but from what I did I would add one more "good": no reading of articles on the radio

I believe he tried his hand at that as well. A Bleacher Report story about Aaron Rodgers.

Alright. Last time I'll ask. Drinky is in with Terry again. COUNTERS!!!! Take a half hour or a full hour. Figure it out amongst yourselves. Don't let me down again.

My guess is 258 for today.
