Guest host

Last night I guest-co-hosted Derek & Romaine on Sirius OutQ with my friend Derek Hartley (right). Derek is a GREAT guy. I met him four years ago when they were just launching their show and he wanted to have someone come talk about sports. We struck up a friendship from there.

It was four hours, which is a long time to talk if you haven't done it before. But I got to talk to some really cool people from all over the country who had such positive attitudes and seemed so fun. There was one guy from Philadelphia (or was it Jersey?) who insisted on asking us Broadway musical questions - and I somehow got two of the three right!

The highlight for me was talking with Chad Allen (left, from chadallenonline.com). I had a huuuuuge crush on him when I was younger. I met him about 10 years ago in the Roosterfish in Venice, Calif. He wasn't out at the time, and I nearly spilled my beer (which I drank at the time) when I saw him walk in the bar. I had heard then that he was struggling with alcohol, and he joked about it last night. What a cool guy. He even SCUBA dives, which made me love him even more.

Kim Stolz from America's Next Top Model was in last night, too. She really impressed me. Very smart, very fair, very together. She wants to host political radio and TV shows, and I think she will be some day.

I just love the medium of radio. It allows so many people to share so many stories and ideas. I've been a guest on many dozens of radio shows, but hosting was more amazing than I had anticipated. Derek said he may have me back again this summer while Romaine is on maternity leave. I hope so.

Hey.. just wanted to say I heard the show with y'all and thought it was great. I like the Derek and Romaine show in general, but really enjoyed the tone of that show. I especially like hearing the discussion with Kim and Derek. Both really impressed me with their fairminded view. I look forward to hearing more from them in the future. -Tyler
