An Hour With Bob

Last November, I was on a local public access cable talk show called 'An Hour With Bob'. My experience of the show was:

There were two guests. The first was a woman who used to be a local TV newscaster and currently is author of a self-published book called 'The 13th Apostle' which sounded like it was kind of in the mold of 'The Da Vinci Code'. The second was a guy who had been on The Amazing Race reality show a few years before and he and Bob basically talked about the current season of The Amazing Race and related topics during that segment. I played three songs, one during a break in the interview with the first guest, once between guests, and one at the end of the show. Bob talked to me a little bit about my music and influences and whatnot before my first song.

I got there a little early and got to see Bob and the first guest flirt a bit. When the second guest arrived Bob started to introduce them and this conversation occurred:

GUEST #1: "Hey, weren't you on the Amazing Race?"
GUEST #2: "Yes!"
GUEST #1: "What was it like?"
GUEST #2: [searching for words]: "It was ... incredible."

The station had recently got a new TV camera and the techies were playing around with it and having a good time.

After the show, I had this conversation with Bob:

BOB: "Hey, do you ever go to Hooters?"
ME: "What?"
BOB: [hands me a Hooters coupon for hot wings]

Bob said he would send me a DVD of the show, but it is eight months later and no DVD has been forthcoming, so I think I won't be getting it after all.

The whole experience reminded me a little of the Larry Sanders Show.
