Jay and Jack Exceed Goal!

I hadn't planned on it, but I ended up staying up and watching the entire 25-hour Jay and Jack podcast for Autism Speaks this past weekend! It was just too entertaining to miss a minute! Jay and Jack set the goal of raising $10,000 for the charity this year (having raised about $5,000 the previous year). This year, the podcast managed to exceed its goal, raising $12,380 in 25 hours!

Jack and Jay are a step-father/son duo that I have listened to for many years, and it's great what they do for this worthy cause. I was glad to to donate and be a part of it. My favorite guests on the podcast were NFL referee Ed Hochuli (who is a huge LOST fan) and Jorge Garcia (who plays Hurley on LOST). Ed's stories and insights into the NFL were hilarious and entertaining, and he was a major driving force behind the donations, urging viewers to donate many times throughout the 25 hours. Jorge, once again showing how generous he is to his fans, talked with Jay and Jack for over 4 hours, providing many insights about LOST and his life.

The podcast was a great experience, and I can't wait for next year!
