We have a friend named Adam (aka "Spanky") that we worked with at EFY for 3 years. He lives in San Antonio and auditioned to be on "Deal or No Deal" just about a year ago. Well, last week the producer of the show called him and invited him to be on the show. Spanky called and told us on April fools day, so we thought he was just joking....turns out it was no joke! He invited us to be two of his guests, so we jumped on a plane and headed to LA. It was an awesome experience! The show is episode #363 (you can check pictures out at http://www.nbc.com/Deal_or_No_Deal/photos/#cat=862&sec=1810&mea=43220 as soon as they put them up). The show is scheduled to air on June 11. The taping took 7 hours for one episode. We should have gotten a good amount of camera time since they had a camera man positioned on his friends the whole time to get our reactions to everything. Spanky had his wife, brother, and best friend Chip on the stage with him, and the other 5 of us sat on the front row just to the left of the case. Unfortunately because the taping took so long, Sally had to catch a plane to be back to work, so she was not able to stay the whole time, therefore you will probably see more of K.C. on the show. We cant tell you how much he won, but we can tell you that it is definately worth watching. He was one of those contestants that took some HUGE risks and made it really intense to watch. They also did something that they had never done on an episode before (dont ask, just watch and see), and the models also dressed up in what K.C. refers to as "The hottest outfits I have ever seen them wear!". After the taping, K.C. got to hang out in the studio for a little bit while they got things ready for another taping later that night. He got to meet Howie and some of the models (Tameka #21, Katie #11, and Ursula #5). They did not allow cameras in the studio, but K.C. was able to snap a few photos on his camera phone (see below).Spanky (in a scout uniform...you'll have to watch to see why they made him wear it) with his wife, brother, and Chip

K.C. was mad because he never was able to find stage 5........bummer.

No freaking way! That is awesome!
so cool...i am jealous...you guys always get to do the coolest stuff...i am glad this kid is coming so you can stay home and be boring with the rest of us! love you both...
No way! That is too cool. It is such a small world. A couple from our old ward was on there a couple of months ago, so that was exciting. I cannot wait to see the episode! Gennovah will be so excited to see her KC and Sally. She asked why you don't live close to us anymore. I guess to a 3 year old a couple of blocks is super far away?! You can count that it will be recorded on our Tivo!
What an experience. I am surprised Spanky didn't ask me to come. We have always been pretty tight. I cried a little when I found out I was left out.
You better not forget to come to church now that you are gone. And you better not have gotten a better calling...jk what could be better than hanging with 3 of the cutest Sunbeams ever?
so when is sally going to pop out that baby already? i am sending you good vibes to deliver early. colton was 2 1/5 weeks early, so try for that. it's much funner that way...i'll give you some pointers if need be.
Hey K.C.- Who really cares that you were in the audience of Deal Or No Deal. I am a little preturbed because all of the pictures I see on your blog have people that you met after I met you so if I dont get a GD picture on your blog we are no longer friends. Love ya Sally.
P.S. Okay so I am a little jealous that you were in the audience of Deal Or No Deal but who gives a flying Scrappy. Oh wait, sorry, Scrappy killed himself! - love BMD
(I only bring up Scrappy's unfortunate death because you made fun of me when Sparky died.)
hey, fer fun!! I'm a blog stalker!
I am sooo watching that episode! That's so cool that you got to be there and with SPANKY!! And referring to the comment from kristin about you guys staying home and being boring after a kid...with most people it's true, but it'll never happen with you two. That cute little girl will travel more in a year than all the rest of us will in a lifetime!!
