The Recruiting Animal Show is not just the Animal and his guest. Absolutely not. Comments from callers are an important part of every show.
Anyone can call in to comment but there are some regulars who call in time and again with a lot to say and some of it's worth hearing.
What Is The Couch?
We call these callers, collectively, The Couch. On all of the great TV talk shows, the host would sit behind a desk and his guest would sit beside him on a couch.
When a guest's interview was over, she didn't leave the show, she just moved down the couch and continued to comment on the next guest's conversation. And the next guests followed suit.
If You Want To Call In
If you want to call in, join us by all means but the show can get rowdy so if you say something stupid, be ready to take a hit. Here's the good news, it really doesn't hurt.
When The Recruiting Animal sees your area code appear, he will ask you if you want to identify yourself. You are free to say nothing or to offer a phony name. If you want to speak but won't give a name, The Recruiting Animal will give you one.
