Being interviewed on a popular radio morning show about a charity event. Live broadcast, thousands of listeners. Host asks a serious question about fundraising goals when—PRRRT—a barking spider joins the broadcast.
The host, a true professional, immediately says, "And that sound effect, folks, is the sound of donation dollars being released to help our cause!" Ended up raising twice our fundraising goal after that moment went viral.
