I tried to call into the majority report two days ago, and I just get some serious stage fright, didn't help that a national news story broke. I was stressing waiting for que to call in, calling in and getting voicemail, then getting put on hold. Like it was weird that I was high strung to the point where it was hard to form words.

I might try again after things calm down I'm America

I get the same thing just calling in to my favorite podcast to leave a voicemail. Which is especially odd since they are somewhat successful, not not enough that something like leaving a VM should make me nervous at all.
