Thank You Karl… was it good for you too?
Karl and Me at Avitable's Halloween Party
I had the honor of being a guest on Karl’s show, SecondHand Radio, Thursday night. I really can’t tell you what all we talked about because my Uniden 5.8GHz phone SUCKS! I spent most of the hour trying to find a good spot in the house to keep my phone from cutting out.
Karl knows that I also own an iPhone, and I recall him asking me why I wasn’t using it. I couldn’t because AT&T coverage is even worse! I rarely use my iPhone for calls at home because I’ll have 3 bars, then suddenly “NO SERVICE”. All of those ads that claim, “More Bars in More Places”? Uh, NO, you lying b**tards! Yet, AT&T can get away with their false advertising because in the fine print it states, “based on global coverage”. GAH! Still, I can’t live without my iPhone!
Somewhere in our conversation on the show, somebody suggested that it could be interference because of DSL or maybe the wireless router. I don’t know, but I’d like to have a phone that actually works!
The other issue I had was my nervousness! I’ve never been interviewed on-air before with an audience of the coolest bloggers in the world… along with my awesome nephew, Eric. YAY! Thanks for calling in, Eric! I’d link to him too, but he hasn’t started his blog… yet.
If you missed the show, you can still check it out at SecondHand Radio. I would, but I don’t think I could stand to hear myself! Thanks again, Karl, I had a great time. I hope you did too 
!
Now, I’m off to stalk Shiny’s and MetalMom’s blogs so that I can come up with, what I hope will be, some good interview questions.

Hi Geek Tai-Tai

Mick You’re such a sweetie, thank you for checking out the show. I wasn’t necessarily all that brave as I’d indulged in a few “wee nips” of Ketel One. LOL!
hello Heck no, I wouldn’t hide from you, my dear! The show was fun, and Karl was really cool about my shitty phones.
Marty Let me tell ya, I got my exercise Thursday night. What a struggle, but I still <3 my iPhone even if I can’t use it at home!
Faiqa Hi there! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you get a few chuckles out of the show… that is, when you can hear me talk
SJ You don’t have to listen if it’s going to make you nervous. I can’t bring myself to do it either!

p.s. sorry i missed the show. hope ya had fun.
hello haha narf’s last blog post..Not Nearly Enough
I have an AT&T phone (not an iPhone) – pre-paid SIM card. The coverage where I live is actually better than than my main phone (a Treo 755p with Sprint). But if I go over to a friend’s house, then the AT&T phone craps out and the Sprint phone gets stellar coverage.
If you walk around enough, you’ll find some good spots. Works for me.

metalmom’s last blog post..Respect Mah Authoritay!
I had to listen the next day, and the phone issue was annoying, but the interview was great! I’m not a blogger myself, but I must say that Karl is a hoot. I especially liked the comment on “it’s the way it’s prepared” with seafood.
It was great to hear my sista and my son on the shoe!
DeejThank you for listening to the show. I had a lot of fun doing it. If I’m a guest again, I promise I will only use the corded phone!
It was a blast talking to you, as always. Now go buy a new cordless phone!
