The producer, bababooey, is like an Uber rock enthusiast, and I've never heard him lose until the other day when I was listening to an old clip. Anyways, him and this contestant went thru like 20 random, obscure songs without missing any. And finally, the contestant beat bababooey on a Simply Red song. I thought of you and smiled. It was a sweet moment.

That's one of the more amazing aspects of his show. For a bunch of pranking dorks, they're damned smart.
Hardly anyone ever 'stumps the booey'
And hardly anyone ever 'wins Fred's money.'
And I'll admit, I almost always can't do it even from the comfort of my home.
Some of his best radio ever was when Howie had the guy's girlfriend naked in the studio behind a shower curtain, and the guy would either win Fred's money, or the curtain would drop.
Though, IIRC Robin did kind of flame out in Celebrity Final Jeopardy. What was it, a clue about Capra's movies being 'corny' and she got mixed up with cornpone.
