GUY SITTING NEXT TO MY BROTHER, COME ON DOWN! YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON THE PRICE IS RIGHT!

As promised sometime ago (I'm just loaded with unfulfilled promises), I was going to post about my brother being on the Price is Right. This is actually the first of two times he visited Barkerville and apparently this is also the visit where he enjoyed the least amount of air time. Broham never made it up to contestant's row, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Apparently they interview everyone in the studio audience for consideration of being a contestant and being frozen in daytime television history like Han Solo. This "interview" is three questions: your name, where you're from and what is your hobby. Apparently these samurais are so good at what they do, they can tell whether or not you'll make an interesting contestant based on what you answer and how you answer. Pimp. Well, unfortunately, Burbank wasn't ready for my brother. But despite that, my brother did manage to snag a fraction of a second of camera time when the camera swung frantically to the left side of the studio to film one of the kid's my brother went with. And when it reached as far left as it could go, if you freeze the screen, you can see my brother, standing tall with his hands above his head and mouth open in exhaultation.

This is the raddest thing I've ever seen in my life, but I've yet to see the taping of the second show which I will have access to this weekend when bro bro comes to Lubbock.

Tell me that ain't gangsta. Time to fix my morning pot of coffee.
