On The Fly

In doing this show we've come across some pretty crappy situations in the past with guests no showing us or canceling at the last second.  Today we had the complete opposite happen, we had a fighter confirm about nine seconds before the show started. I'm talking about Rich "Ace" Franklin.  We got news that he would be coming on the program just seconds before the show started and while that is great news for the show, it's also a scary feeling knowing you have to conduct an interview on the fly like that without preparation. 

Like I said before, this isn't our first rodeo, we've had shit like this happen before so we powered through it, writing questions in our heads as callers talked (Sorry Humpty Sean).  For me the worst feeling is when George asks a question that I planed on asking.  My questions have to be really standard and almost bland because it's George's job to decide in which direction to take the interview so I have to stay the course. We can't be talking about The fight and then skip over to "Hey Rich, did you know you were number 7 on ESPN's top ten plays?" and then go back to the fight. Flow is big for me so when George stormed out of the gate with my 3 top questions, I was shitting bricks. Luckily we powered through it and produced what I thought was a pretty entertaining interview. I believe this is Rich's 4th time on the show so by now we've established a good relationship and Rich seemed to open up a little more. Thats always a good feeling.

They say everyday you learn something new and I would have to say today I learned that with the right chemistry, anything is possible.
