Congrats to you! Glad you were able to talk... I don't know what to say when I meet celebs... LOL.
What always gets me, when something like this happens, is thinking of what to say. If a person, that was famous and I idolized, called my house, I'd probably sound like some kind of a babbling idiot, as I stumbled over my search for words. I'm not saying that you did that.
That is really cool that they took the time to talk to you.
So how did the conversation go? I still think that it's really cool!
Congrats again

The conversation was very cool!. I know what you mean about finding out what to say. It started off with me frozen for about 6 seconds, then I said "who's this?", just because I was still not believing it, and that's when he said "It's Wish Bone man". I was just shocked by this point, but I didn't want to spoil the opportunity by freezing up. Then I just told him how much their music means to me, and he said how he appreciated it, and that the fans are everything. Then he passed the phone down the group to Flesh Bone, but on it's way down the line Layzie Bone grabbed it and said "hey man, this Lay", and then to Bizzy Bone who just said "What's up this is Bizzy!".
Then the phone ended up with Flesh. He was the most generous at the time. He asked me how I was, and stuff like that, and then he asked where I was from?. So I told him I was from New Hampshire, and he was like "No doubt!; we're definitely going to do a show there, and we'll put on a performance". I told him how great that would be, and then just told him how much I love the group and how appreciative I was that they called, and he was like "Much love, man, much love. I totally appreciate it and we love the fans". We talked for a little bit after that, and that was it!.
They were just getting out of a studio session and were calling up a few fans, so he had to go call a few more, but overall it was the most exciting thing to ever happen. I've always thought they were the #1 group all-time, and just seeing how much they appreciate their fans is what solidifies it. Their real people with extraordinary talent, and I will always remember the conversation. Also, about a half an hour later their Brand Manager Bobby Francis called and said "What's up Ricky?, how's it going?". Then he asked me how the conversation went, and was like "So where you from?.", so I said "New Hampshire". He then laughed and say's "New Hampshire, it must be 2am?", so I said "ya", but I told him it was worth it a million times over, and that I probably wouldn't be able to sleep. Then he said they'll do it again soon, if I wanted to talk again. I really appreciated him taking the time to call me, and he really is the best. My birthday's in a week, and this was by far the best gift I could imagine!.
