4 days, 14 days, and some trivia questions
4 days from now I will be walking my son down the aisle at his wedding, the first of children to get married.
14 days I will be in the Hot Seat (unless I'm bumped to the following Monday).
I'm trying to keep the stress level down to a minor hysteria. The day before the wedding is my scheduled phone interview with my producer from Millionaire.
I'll be leaving Austin on Wed. afternoon, the 23rd, and landing in Philidelphia near midnight then driving to Long Island to stay with my sister. 2 days later is my tape date.
Is there anyone on the bored who might be on the audience on the Friday, the 25th? Feel free to let me know.
Finally, here is the promised trivia questions - triggered by the number 14:
14 or fight was a slogan from what movie?
What did it mean?
In the same movie they revamped the slogan, what was the new slogan?
Finally, before becoming a comedian, the famous person (who at the time was a relatively unknown) had a dramitic role in this movie - who was this world famous comedian/actor?

Your son is getting married on a Tuesday? Congratulations to one out of the nest and on his own.
14 or 4 had something to do with changing the voting age to 14 during the Vietnam war - I suppose since they would be the ones going off to fight in the next few years. That's a stab.....not sure what the new slogan was.
The actor would be Richard Pryor?
Dunno anything else. Someone can fill in the blanks I left.
Good luck on your wedding, travel to NYC and the hotseat!!!

Exactly the situation that gsabc was getting so worried about! (No, wait, he was worried about the opposite order.)frogman042 wrote:4 days from now I will be walking my son down the aisle at his wedding, the first of children to get married.

Although maybe it's easier for the Father of the Groom than it is for the Father of the Bride?
Congratulations to your son!
And your producer will love whatever nervous excitement might be in your voice during the phone interview. You've already been cast for the Hot Seat, so nothing will change that.

How many of your ten kids are going to New York with you?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

You might want to discuss that with your producer when you have your phone interview. It seems that sometime they relax that "must be over 18" rule and sometimes they can be real sticklers about it. When I was in the audience last year, the parents of one contestant were saying that their 17-year-old daughter wasn't even allowed in to watch her brother tape!frogman042 wrote:My wife and my two youngest (ages 9 and 11) and I'm hoping they will get a chance to be at the taping.Bob Juch wrote:How many of your ten kids are going to New York with you?
So that's all of them in your new avatar? That's great!

Re: 4 days, 14 days, and some trivia questions
The movie was "Wild in the Streets" (which I actually saw in the theater). The slogan was a takeoff on "Never trust anyone over 30" and referred to a move to lower the voting age. The movie featured Hal Holbrook and Shelly Winters and a young Barry Williams (before he was on The Brady Bunch); I'm guessing you're asking about him.frogman042 wrote:Finally, here is the promised trivia questions - triggered by the number 14:

This was quite a movie - it dealt with issues such as the war, voting age, etc. - Holbrook's character wanted to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 (which happened in 1971) and used a popular rock band (Max Frost and the Troopers) in his campaign appearances. At the end there was a dystopian climax - "old" people were locked up in camps and kept docile by LSD.
