Joe's Superfan Part 1
By: Tammy Rivers
I saw the thing on Joe's I-Squad asking for his biggest fan to call Brooke and it was a Friday night so I called the # and left a message and decided to do it one better and made my hubby sit down with me and we made a tape and overnight mailed it to the Ryan show in overnight mail on Saturday and Brooke called me Monday morning and asked me a bunch of questions like how long have I been a fan and what do I like most about Joe and such things and I told her about the tape and she was like cool and said if I got past that stage of interviews her boss would call me and Monday afternoon her boss called and I went through about 9 bosses before Jp called me and they all asked me the same questions except Jp who asked what my fave Joe song was ( it is stay the same) he asked me why it is my fave Joe song and I told him about the problems I have had with my weight and my self image and I told him how the first time I heard Stay The Same I cried for 2 days straight and he said for me to sing a little of it to him so I told him I can't sing well but ok and started to sing and I got through the first verse and I started to cry and he asked if I was crying I was like no I am not crying and my hubby who was sitting next to me yelled real loud yes she is. So he told me I could stop and then we talked a little more and he said he would get back to me so I waited over the weekend (when he called it was the Friday following the Monday when they got the tape and I first talked to Brooke) and on Monday he called and we talked again and he called just about every other day for a week asking weird stuff like have you ever met Joe and that would be it or Do you get nervous in front of a bunch of people and then he would be like ok I was just wondering it makes since now but at the time I thought he had lost his mind. Then the next Tuesday (April 27th) he called and said they wanted to do an in person interview with him and his boss Leslie could Robert and I come down to the show on Thursday April 29th so we did and when we got there we were told to ask for Jp and when we found him he said because you guys drove so far we are going to take you to lunch after the show (it tapes from noon-1pm) and we will do the interview there and we were like ok so we watched the show and then we all went to lunch at Mels Diner and as we sat there every time I tried to talk about Joey they would try to change the subject and I finally said ok you guys need to shhhhhh its time to talk about Joey and they kept taking these phone calls on there cell phones ( I thought nothing of it cause they were supposed to be working) and so finally they started asking me questions about Joe and I got the pic I carry of him out of my wallet and Jp was like so where is Robert and I was like are you crazy he is right there pointing at him sitting next to me and they all laughed and Jp goes no the pic of Robert in your wallet and I was like I don't have one its Just Joey not even my daughter is in there so that tripped them out and then Robert told them about the deal we have (cause Robert thought I would never meet Joey) that if I had the chance I could have one night with Joey ( we have the same deal with Robert and Kirsten Dunst) so they laughed and I saw a camera guy walking backwards so I thought Oh S**t I won and here comes that chick that’s always surprising people to tell me I get to meet Joey.
I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around and there is JOEY I was so surprised I jumped on my hubby's lap and I started hyperventilating I am not joking when I say I could not breath for 10 min. in the mean time while I was busy dying (nobody cared enough to get me a paper bag to breath into) Robert And Joe were talking about all kinds of stuff and I got the pic back out and motioned for Joe to Sign it and he did. I then caught my breath so I started talking and Joe asked if we had any kids and I said I don't know (we have a 4 year old daughter) and asked how long we had been married when I said almost 7 years he asked if it was true about the 7 year itch and I said I never felt it till now and asked if he wanted to scratch it (they both thought I was joking, I was not) and Robert and Joe laughed then he asked Robert if he knew about this and Robert said yes which got him hit in the gut for not telling me which sparked this whole conversation about what was ok and what was not ok to keep from your spouse. Then the food came and we were all eating (in case anyone is wondering Joe had a Bacon Cheese Burger, fries and a coke he was debating on whether or not to have a shake and decided no) and Joe said something very funny I had just taken a bite of my salad and lettus came out my nose (if you watch the tape of the Ryan Show you will see the part where I cover my nose and mouth ) and I was like that is my most embarrassing moment ever and Joe said I didn't see it so it doesn't count (he was lying because he was looking right at me.) So I was like ok I'm done eating now and Joe was like why you just started and I was like I'm not gonna let that happen again with all these cameras on us so Joe called over the guy directing the segment (Drew) and said for them to turn off the cameras so I could eat (he's so sweet) so they did and when we got done he said ok you can turn them back on now and so we were talking some more and I still couldn't remember any of the questions I had always wanted to ask him ( I think it was from the lack of oxygen to my brain from earlier) so I just out of nowhere yelled out Tick Tick BOOM and he looked at me like I had lost my mind ( as did everyone else that was there) and Joe asked did you see it I said no but I wanted to ask a question about it and Joe goes ok what and I was like I don't remember then Joe asked Robert if I was always this spacey and Robert said no it's normally worse (the liar).
