Listening back to the early episodes is difficult, because it’s pretty clear I had no idea what I was doing and had very little planned. Originally I intended to have listener calls be a way bigger part of the show, but the station didn’t have the phone hooked up – so I was using my cell to take calls holding it up to the microphone. This call always stood out to me as one of the first truly great moments, when Joe Fey called in unannounced and we just began to improvise. I had no idea where he was going so I was simultaneously trying to figure out what was happening and how to add on constructively. I love the part where I tell him I’m right-handed and he says, “I know, I know.” I think that was when I realized that Joe and I could really play off each other, and that some of these unexpected moments would end up being the funniest stuff.
