but it's going to be fun, anyway.
My daughter told me she's taking me to Chicago on Monday. She has four tickets to see Jerry Springer... LOL!
It's mid-evil with all the bashing. Shocking actually. But I'll find out if it's fake or not, and if these people are just playing a part.
I don't know when it will air on TV. I guess I'll find that out on Monday.
I'm going with my neice, and my two drop dead georgeous daughters.  
My boyfriend said I should take one of my scripts and sort of drop it somewhere inside. ???
No, no Jerry beads.

Awesome! Haha yeah I want to see if it is real or fake and see if anything goes on during the commercials.

You should insult someone and if it is good enough, maybe you get to go to the pole and dance for everyone! And win a medal for best insult!

Sean

Awesome!  I watch Springer every day!  I think you should get your beads though...all of Chicago will love you.

Haha, cool! I watch Jerry Springer every day also.

Maybe you shouldn't drop your script...there might be evil producers...ever seen Big Fat Liar?

Wait a second, Cindy.  Your daughter is taking you to The Jerry Springer Show?  And your spidey senses aren't tingling?

If Janet told me she was taking me there, I'd kill her on the spot just to save the embarrassment.


Phil

Damnit Don...you've aroused my curiousity most intensely about Phil's typo.

I think you should drop a script somewhere, Cindy.  Either that or try and start a fight with someone on stage regarding your script.

And what are Jerry beads?  

Hey Cindy,

The Springer show should be a good time.  I've never been to one myself, but I have a few friends that have gone, and they all said it was a blast.  Are you only in town for Springer, or are you looking for some other activities to do as well?  I could offer some suggestions.

Quoted from Heretic And what are Jerry beads?

If you show some skin then you get mardi gras beads with a Jerry Springer medallion type thingy on it.

We are driving there. Five hours each way, so we will probably only stop one other place and that will be to eat something. We all have to work on Tuesday.
The girls say they are getting the Jerry beads  , not me though.  Even in my younger days I would never have done such a thing.
It should be a fun time though. I haven't been out of the state in 20 years.
I'll let you know how it goes.

What a trip!
When arriving into Chicago, there was a lot of construction. The highway was down to two lanes, and there were those temporary concrete walls on both sides of the highway that are about three feet tall. The semi truck in front of us kept scraping up against the wall. While we were watching in horror wondering if something was going to fly off of it or if it was going to loose control, I caught part of a sign. It read... Out of gas? Call 411-IDIOT. I laughed and laughed.

We parked in a parking structure a couple blocks away from the NBC building, and walked to a pub whose capacity was 63. They were full. We ate, and the girls had a couple to ease their tensions about the show. I told you my girls were drop-dead georgeous. Well, when we were leaving the pub, a woman stopped us and told my daughter that her colleges wanted to meet her, could she just step over and say hello... They gave my girls a business card... They were from Texas and wanted the girls to call...  Only the beginning...

Horns blew, guys hung out car windows and yelled at them as we went to NBC building...

By the time we made it to the NBC building there was already a long line forming outside. We stood in that line as it slowly moved and we made our way into the building. Once inside we were given tickets to the show, and there was a release that we had to sign on the ticket, then give it back to them. The line moved forward, and the cut off was six people ahead of us. They had a full house! Even though we called and made reservations, they could still turn us away. They made us wait for the next show, and the next show we were allowed in. The three people behind us were the cut-off. Everyone in line behind us had to go home, but got VIP passes for a different show.

We made it inside to the set!
Hooray!
Had to sit on the steps though because it was a full house.
My neice sat with me on a step. My two daughters sat together on the step in front of us. My baby girl was gothed out. My other daughter is more conservative. Jerry told my older daughter that he loved her. He said he may be old, but he has a very thick wallet, and that he is a very wealthy man. My daughter laughed and said, "I love you, too, Jerry."
The show starts. It's about a deaf stripper who's husband is leaving her for his sister. Real? Well the sister slugged the deaf girl in the jaw! That was real. We heard the hit. It definately connected pretty hard. Her husband's father was there, too. He fought with his son on stage. There was a mock preacher there. He was going to marry the brother and sister... It was stopped when the wife chased the preacher around the set, and ripped off his shirt.
Then Todd yelled, "Put the rooster on the pole!"
A skinny young man with a bright red mohawk went on stage and danced on the pole.
My younger daughter made a comment about the sister looking like a generic corpse bride.
Todd yelled, "Take off all your clothes!"
My daughter was shocked!
The audience chanted "Take off all your clothes!"
Then to my horror, she flashed them!
They chanted, "Join the rooster on the pole!" And made her get on stage...
Then they got the preacher on the pole, a man with a beard they called a rabbi, and an older woman who they called Betty Crocker... All of them went around and around the pole dancing!
Then the camera man came up to my neice. She flashed them!
We'll know on Friday when it will air. The man sitting next to my daughter complained to her that her and my other daughter were getting all of the air time.
I should be on camera, too. I'm the one on the step with long dark hair and glasses with an open mouth, shaking my head, and covering my eyes...
On the way out of the show my daughter said we needed gas, almost on empty. People on the street said there wasn't a gas station around.
I told her to call 411-IDIOT. We had a good laugh.

It was a blast! Baby girl got her Jerry beads, and we all had a good time.

Cindy  

Ah, crowd interaction and fuzzied out boobies. That's some good television.

Glad to hear you had fun, Cindy, despite the horrors.

It was a blast!
I forgot to add the city workers to my story...
Those nice gentlemen offered to give us a lift on their lift truck through the city streets to the parking lot after the show.
We declined...

Oh, Kevan,
It was something. My daughter said she felt sick to her stomach, then it all happened so fast that she didn't even know what was going on...
They want to go there again, too...  

Cindy, I have a few questions.

1) How many shows do they shoot daily?
2) In reality, how long are the breaks?
3) Did you show any skin?

Hi Greg,

They shoot two shows a day Monday through Wednesday.
On Friday they edit, and piece together what they want on T.V. out of the three days of taping.
They said if they caught you with a good reaction then it's possible that they would use it on another show. So we might be in the audience on a show that we wern't at.

The breaks were only long enough for them to play "Brick House". People danced in their seats while the guests went back stage.
Todd and Jerry were among the audience during the breaks. Jerry told jokes, and Todd warned people that if he heard another cell phone go off, he would get it and they would get it back two weeks later in the mail, but in two pieces.
It was someone behind me who had the cell phone and didn't turn it off after being warned about it before the show.

No, I didn't show any skin. My neice did. She was sitting next to me on the step. He brought the camera up to her face, then focused on her jiggily boobies... Ahhh ha!
Scared the heck out of me! I was like, what the heck!
