After several years of drought it was a Challenge Line bonanza in 2007. It was the first year Digital Dave and Fast Eddie (The Leuter Bros) from the Philly clan joined the Posse after years of hounding from Captain F and others. Several themes emerged including a team that had a ham fetish and other teams that acted as porcine enablers.
DD and FE as rookies on the Challenge Line gave good phone to two young ladies who had a talent for licking elbows. It was amazing that the Posse was able to produce a fair amount of original content considering the phone was ringing non-stop; many of these calls were actually worth the effort it takes to produce them and play them on the air.

- Challenge: It’s Raining Jim
Most people don’t like to challenge Trivia Hall of Famer Jim Gray. For many, its his imposing stature. For the rest its his stinging creativity. A friend challenged Jim to sing a popular ’70s disco ballad, and Jim responded with a pantsing of said friend in the most entertaing and slightly cringing way.

Its the Digital Dave‘s and Fast Eddie‘s first year at trivia and they enjoyed giving good phone. They forgot that most calls get aired later, and we forgot to hide the animal sounds effects CDs. Either way the piece does serve as an anotomy lesson.

Princess Cari can be heard here making a plea.
