Sea Monkeys, Mo, Sea Monkeys

Yes, that’s me, at the end of NPR’s Talk of the Nation piece on Mo Rocca’s Hard-Hitting Look at Presidential Pets, a discussion about a new book authored by Mo Rocca, former Daily Show correspondent/comedian.

And it’s Metropolis, not Minneapolis, and it’s Sea Monkeys, who are not simians (nor bears), but brine shrimp.  Despite the minor mistake by NPR staff on my location, I still had a gas and am forever archived in the annals of NPR caller fame.  Woot!
