When I went to Chicago in Aug. '92 to appear on the Springer show, I had no idea what to expect. I'd never even heard of the guy. When I got there, I met the other ABs that were to be on the show (Tommy and Denise) and also the pro-AB shrink (Dr. Mary Hogan) who was to be on the show, as well. We all had a grand time the night before the show. Jerry paid all expenses, so we lived it up. We discussed what we might be expecting, but really, none of us had a clue. That is, until that next morning when the limo came to pick us up. The Anti-AB shrink (Dr. Butterworth), stayed at another hotel and when we pulled up to his hotel to pick him up, Mary (the pro AB shrink) saw him on the curb and said, "Oh no! We're dead!" I asked her what she meant and she said, "I've been on shows with this guy before and he's very experienced with the one liners. He's going to sound byte us into the ground!" I said to her, " Ahhh, don't worry. He don't know who he's dealing with here."
Anyway, we all prepped for the show ( excepting Dr. Butterworth) in the green room. They had also hired a pro Domme-Mommy to be on the show and Richard (the producer), wanted her to spank me at some point during the show and thought it would be good if I did something bad to earn it. Like, slap the mean old Dr. Butterworth. Tommy didn't think the spanking thing was a good idea and that got nixed (damn), but Richard still insisted that I do something to the doctor. I told him, "I'll do something, but I'm not going to slap him." I had brought along my plush toy bunny to the show and I waited for just the right moment. The moment came when Dr. Bitterworth (oops, Freudian slip), went on a rant about how we were all sick and blah, blah, blah. Well, I saw this as my opportunity and interrupted his rant, crying, "You, you, you...You're nothing but a narrow minded poopyhead!". I then threw the bunny at him, bopping him square on the noggin. That proved to be the most memorable sound byte from the show and Jerry uses it whenever he is promoting an airing of one of his past shows. When the show was over, I shook Jerry's hand and then extended my hand to Dr. Butterworth. But, he just turned on his heels and stormed off muttering to himself. Jerry then said with a smile, "Wow, I think you reeally pissed him off!" That made my day. Tommy and Denise thought the show went poorly and felt like we were blindsided by the audience and Jerry. But, I felt I had struck a blow in more ways than one.
