From Blogging to Britney to Bananas

Our interview with the Derek & Romaine Show last night went well, we think! Romaine was out, but we were interviewed by Derek and guest host, the delightful Hedda Lettuce. We had a fabulous time and even sound like we know what we’re talking about — aside from my “y’knows” which is a terrible habit I’m trying to break. And a spot where they ask us a direct question about a stocking giveaway and because we couldn’t hear, we just sat there, like deer caught in the On-Air light.
They were very gracious, said our names, the name of the book and our URL a lot, so we couldn’t ask for more. Thanks for having us, Derek & Romaine Show! We look forward to visiting again soon.
If you’d like to hear our interview, including the part where Kathy sort of insults Pamela Anderson, check it out.
Also, just an aside, I was listening to the Holiday Lounge station on Yahoo! and Louis Prima’s “Shake Hands with Santa Claus” came on. I started to sing along but was forced to contemplate the lyrics when I was hit with this gem:
“If you want bananas, great big bananas, shake hands with Santa Claus.”
I don’t know about you, but I think I’ll get mine at the Farmer’s Market.












You guys did such a great job! Awesome thinking on your feet, which is not always easy to do. I love that Kathy was afraid to say “ass” at first - very cute.

Great job!! I was hoping you’d provide a link for those of us that don’t subscribe to Sirius.
BTW - Great big bananas for shaking hands with Santa Claus? Yikes.
What were you going to say, Kathy?

Glad you were able to share the audio.

Did Noel the caller say, “Ok, mmm Merry Christman.”? Nice job, good niterview.
Great interview!Although I will admit I didn’t make it through the entire thing. Made me think about why I post. Initially it was a way for me to meet my goal of journaling every day and write down (to remember) things the boys are doing for their baby books. I’ve been pleasantly surprised, however, to make some new friends from people I’ve never met before - an unexpected perk that definitely appeals to the social side of me!

@lani: Thanks! it’s ok, it’s really long! I’ve met so many people through blogging… pretty much the majority of the people in my life right now are here due to blogging.
It’s the cat’s ass.
@Reeder: I’m not sure, I didn’t notice.
Thanks.
@lasvegasles: thank you!
