Wit, Charisma, Good Looks, Talent, Skill

Those words describe... me(?!).

There used to be a talk radio station in town. The station had a major equipment failure, and the owners decided it wasn't worth fixing and have allowed it to go dark. This used to be my favorite station, so I became a fan of theirs on FaceBook after it went off the air in order to get info on what would happen to it. They had a morning drive guy who, after the station went dark started a cable tv show about our town. He invites all the fans of the station to be his friends on FB. That's how we became friends. He always puts topics up for people to talk about, and sometimes I would respond (but not often). One night, we ended up getting into a conversation, where I apparently intimidated the heck out of him with my fast come-backs. Then, he erased the conversation. I didn't know how to take it, so I laid low for a while. Yesterday he posted something on my wall, I teased him about it, and scared him off again. I apologized on his wall and told him that sometimes I don't know when to shut up. He told me that I'm very intimidating because I have the quickest wit out of anyone "here." I scrolled down to see how many friends he has. I told him that coming from a man with 2,608 friends, I would take that as a compliment. I told him that he should give me a segment on his show called "Shut Mary Up" and that if someone could render me speechless they would get a prize.

Me and my big mouth.

I didn't mean it. I was just joking with him.

He liked it!

He wants me to do a segment where I interview people for the show. And somehow I agreed. I'll have to call him tomorrow to hash out the details. How do I do these things to myself?

Unfortunately, you can't. It's a very small local cable show. (He says only about 1000 viewers.) But he does post the show on YouTube after it runs, so you can watch it that way.

It'll probably be a few shows before I relax enough to be good.

He's letting me be a producer! (Yes, it's free for now, but maybe some day... :) ) It's worth it because it's fun!
