Phones

Seems like a big issue is people don't know to turn down the computer or tv when calling in, you should have whoever mans the phone lines tell the people to turn the tv down before putting them through to the show

I have to say, I was a little bewildered when I first called in that I was just thrust on air without any instruction or warning. I've watched the show enough to have my shit together and not have my computer's audio on, but it was odd suddenly being live on air and having to figure out that I just had to be quiet until I was prompted by Shannon to talk.

Maybe that's just how it has to be because of how the phone system works and how fast-paced and off-the-cuff the show can be, but even a five second primer might be nice if it's possible. "Turn off the volume on your computer or TV and be ready to talk when you hear the show through your phone" would be enough, but all I got was "It's getting close to the end, we might have time to get to you, so just hang out and you might get on air."

Hey guys!
Patrick here. I share phone duties with the great Kelley Dunlop and I'm sure she would say the same thing. A lot of times the phone calls go very quickly. I know I try to let people know when they're on next or getting close but its tough to talk to people while people are on the air sometimes without accidentally hanging up on them. It's a tricky system they have a MNN that sometimes doesnt work exactly the way we plan but I know from now on we will try to remind people about the TV/Computer situation
See you all tomorrow!
