Phone-A-Friend sign-up list

[TheSearchIsOn]

The calls start going out today and the tape dates will be here fast. Figured we ought to go ahead and start a list of potential phone-a-friends for if (WHEN!) anyone here gets called.

Put your name below if you are willing and available to be a phone-a-friend on any of the tape dates. I won't be at work the last week of July so I should be available for any of those tape dates. The first week of August I'll be back to work which would make it riskier for my availability, though I haven't researched the taping times so I might still be able to be work something out.

What is the timing for a PaF to be available?

[EugeneF]

I am available for any of the days, and I wish that the show would let me do it everyday.

My fields of knowledge include history, literature, movies, opera, politics, religion, theater, art, etymology. Oh what the Hell, just don't ask me sports or contemporary music (rap, grudge--anything since 1980).

As for my battlefield experience, I was on the OTHER gameshow, being a five-time winner (when that was the limit) and finishing third in my Tournament of Champions. In a special tournment, I was the first human being to beat Frank Spangenberg.

I also have been a phone-a-friend, and answered a $125,000 question.

[Jeemie]

Depending on the times of the tape dates, I am available for all the days.

Specialties are science, history, sports, and fast Googling.

[hanzz]

My credentials:

2004 Florida State Geography Be Champion (yes, one of those purple shirt kids)
2005 Florida AAA Travel High School Challenge Champion (travel geography)
2007 ditto (placed 5th nationally)
2009 Southern Adventist University College Bowl Champion (team captain)

Oh, and I'm good with Google and have a Wikipedia account.

Available any day.

[booboola]

I should be available for any day.

My area of expertise is movies. TV was well. I'm full of pop culture info.

[clem21]

I too, am available any day and I'm really good with History, Geography, Current Events Sports and all the Pop Culture that whippersnappers know about the world of music and movies.

I can google too.

[goongas]

I would be available anytime.

[sunflower]

I am a Google master.

But, I'm really going to have to like you if I'm going to spend a day waiting by the phone for you...

Edited to add: So, I will offer up my PAF skills on a case by case basis (sorry, cases on the mind after yesterday...) because it also depends if I decide to go to tapings or not depending who is in the hot seat, and based on my yet to be determined work schedule...

What is the timing for a PaF to be available?

Here's the schedule that was copied from the ticket request page:

July 29th 2:45pm
July 30th 12:15pm
July 30th 3:00pm
July 31st 12:15pm
July 31st 3:00pm

August 3rd 12:15pm
August 3rd 3:00pm
August 4th 12:15pm
August 4th 3:00pm
August 5th 12:15pm
August 5th 3:00pm

The second episode of each day should probably be completed between 5 and 6.

I presume PAFs will also need to be available for a morning briefing call.


Incidentally, they don't have the July 29th date listed on the tickets page any more (booked, I presume) but they do have July 28th at 1:30 pm. That's probably a rehearsal session.

[jurisdoctor07]

Isn't it part of the rules that you have to have a landline phone in order to be a PaF?

[sunflower]

Isn't it part of the rules that you have to have a landline phone in order to be a PaF?

Yes.

[MarleysGh0st]

I'm available to PAF, July 29, 30, 31.

After that, my schedule is still contingent on my phone ringing on Monday.

[tlynn78]

just don't ask me sports or contemporary music (rap, grudge--anything since 1980).

lol - psst. I think it's 'grunge'.

[Schliemann]

i'm willing and able to be a phone a friend if needed.

i'm good on most things (geography, history, arts, sciences, social sciences, current events, sports, whatever). if its a tv question from before the 90's don't call me.

i'm a two-time champion of the summer hiatus challenge on the sony jeopardy board.

i'm relatively young, i can handle stuff like current popular music and popular culture (i have no shame).

[thealexdavis]

I'm available and more than happy to help as well. I'm available for any of the July dates. Good with basically all pop culture and nearly anything movies/music/tv related. Know a lot of sports as well. Quick Googler also. Just let me know.
