Repo-ing for fun and profit

Mentioned Carrie Grosvenor and her terrific game show blog at About.com a few posts ago. Carrie has posted a month-end roundup, sort of her version of faux tweets.

A couple of the items are interviews with Repo Games' Josh Lewis and Tom DeTone. They have more interesting stories to tell than the average game show host. Tales involving pit bulls, shotguns, baseball bats, things like that. People get a little annoyed over their cars (possibly) being repossessed.

Neither guy can see himself as a more traditional game show host. They don't look like successors to Alex Trebek, to be sure. Both seem to have a sense of humor about their profession, which comes in handy when contestants turn belligerent. At least Repo Games has "top notch" security. They better have it.

DeTone mentions that he used to be a gym fanatic, and now he likes to build motorcycles and hot rod cars. You might have guessed all that pretty easy.
