Marc and I were just calling our guest for tomorrow night. We normally schedule a skype test call with our guests a day or two before the show, just to make sure everything works on their end.
So, today we get on skype and call Robert. After a few minutes of awkward conversation, we realize that the older gentleman on the other end isn’t very familiar with computers, and speaks with a slight drawl more reminiscent of rural Texas than urban Los Angeles. A few questions later- “You know why we called you, right? For the show tomorrow?” and we learned the truth- we called the wrong Robert Kenner.
Well, he was a really nice guy, seemed to enjoy the conversation, and we let him know about our show. He’s going to watch it tomorrow night- in fact, we might even call him back during the show!
What are the chances of calling the wrong Robert Kenner, who happens to have skype, be online at right time on the right day, and be willing to answer the call? Even in this hyper-connected, computer-controlled digital age, it’s refreshing to know we can dial the wrong number- and meet a friendly person.
