Early in my television career (1994), I had a one-on-one interview with (then) Alabama Governor Jim Folsom, Jr.. Drove an hour from my station, with a tripod, camera, batteries, lights, microphone, but FORGOT to bring a tape. Too embarrassed to tell them, I set everything up, turned everything on, and pretended I was recording.
I’m still nauseous about it.

Woke up from the most local news dream ever..
Auburn hired a new head coach (yes it was Sumrall, I am consuming too much) I went to interview him and my photographer never hit record on the camera. Missed slot. Had no content. Producers were very angry.
Felt very real.
