Hey Dave,

Mike has made comments over the years about sometimes having trouble finding a company willing to let you and the crew in to film them. They apparently don't want cameras on site.

I was wondering if any of the companies who might have turned you down a year or two ago, are now calling you and want to be on the show because of it's reputation and success?

Do you find it is easier to arrange some the details now because of DJ's success? Doors open just a bit faster?

Thanks,
Kathy

Yes. Good question, but I am not sure it has happened-yet. Most of the businesses nowadays contact us first.

I will tell you a bout a year ago we called a place three times and as soon as our researcher said who she was they hung up- thinking it was a prank! It got to the point when the woman on the other end of the phone was saying "Seriously! Did so-and-so put you up to this!?"

We finally stopped calling.

Either woman has some mean friends or she doesn't trust anyone.

Maybe the companies who said "no" before are smacking themselves in the head and are sure that now YOU'RE going to tell them no.

Thanks Dave.
