We did have some banter. But I hadn't spoken to her since the first season, when I was able to help Junebug. --BobMarleysGh0st wrote:Only to see how long it takes for Meredith to recognize your voice!Bob78164 wrote:She called me. Tune in and watch. --Bob

This was my fourth. I'm guessing Leszek holds the record -- he was on the air twice a season pretty regularly for a while. --BobTheConfessor wrote:Of your 21 sessions as a PAF, how many times have you actually been called? Who holds the record?

Outside of today, I can name two other times off-hand that Bob##### has been called. I know that both Leszek P. and Eddie Timanus have also been on-air PAFs at least three times. But I don't know who has the record for most calls.TheConfessor wrote:Of your 21 sessions as a PAF, how many times have you actually been called? Who holds the record?

I don't know yet. I haven't communicated with her post-taping yet. I'll encourage her to check in with us. --Boblilyvonschtupp26 wrote:When is she airing, Bob?

Now that I've gone through all of my winners lists, it's a pretty good assumption that Leszek has been called more times than anybody else. I've counted seven times: Uly, ShinyCar, Lyn P., Peter5858, Tim H., southnyack's daughter, and Steve McClellan.
And we can add Weyoun to the list of people who have been a PAF at least three times.

I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Are you referring to Ogi's performance yesterday? Because you're right -- I would never add to the contestant's nerves like that.peacock2121 wrote:I know you didn't Ogi her.
I just know it.
Or did something happen today that we won't see here in Los Angeles for a couple of days? --Bob

Ogi - verb
Meaning: To temporarly frighten the wits out of a someone while knowing full well that you have the magic balm to save them - causing not only a rollercoaster of emotions to flow in the target but acting as a constant source of delight to Sophie Rosenberg.
Usage: When my wife thought she lost her keys and was running late I briefly responded with an Ogi before telling her that I had borrowed them.
or
Meredith Ogi'ed the contestant saying too bad you didn't study hieroglyphics... but you didn't need to - you just won $1,000,000!

Here is the correct usage:
When my wife thought she lost her keys and was running late I Ogi'ed her then told her that I had borrowed them.
