So I waited again this past saturday and they CALLED!! WOOHOO!! So what you have to do to even play the quiz is answer a qualifying question and they are usually VERY hard and obscure. So I was on hold and while on hold you can listen to the show and hear them up to the point of when they put you on live. So the qualifying question was something about what percentage of the pumpkins shares its DNA with humans. So I quickly googled it and found the answer was 75% and BAM -- just like that I was live on the show -- so what happened? Well check out the website and look for the show archives and check it out for yourself - it is the 9-6-08 show and I am in the hour 1 quiz -- I was soooo nervous so I probably sounded very dorkish!
