Q Talk

[Love my grandkids]

@Travone Gary has mentioned briefly quite some time ago, I think it may have been in response to a caller, that he is not "available."  I get the impression he is in a relationship.

Gary Goben is married.

Does Tess do the squirrel when she fills-in?

@ValuSkr Carolyn is the only one that insists on those silly squirrels. When she first introduced Tess, Carolyn said not to worry, Tess would get a squirrel too.  However....

When Gary is with other hosts -- no squirrels. 

When Tess has presented with other hosts -- no squirrels. 

I have not seen Carolyn in a show with Tess alone, so I'm not sure if she got her a squirrel or not.

Well, I would say that's because it's really a "Garolyn" thing (as opposed to a D&Co thing). That's where the whole thing originated, and the Carolyn/Gary team is clearly the main "face of the brand," with two static shows each week and a pretty large following.

Many viewers develop a relationship/friendship with a host and vendor. It is part of the trust factor.  Statistics have proven if you like someone you are more likely to purchase from them. In the public eye it is a perfectly reasonable question to ask.

Flipping through the channel and saw Gary on this morning. 

Couple of questions 

1. Who is the woman with him

2. Where are they 

3  is he married....he's wearing a ring,  I haven't noticed that in the past. 

Thanks.

@Travone I remember when Gary was first introduced to the audience for Denim & Co. shows, years ago.  They used to sell the brand without him on air at all.  I suppose sales increased with having a Denim & Co. person there.  And I too just recently noticed his ring, without having seen it previously.  Maybe it is just shinier now, or I have not been that observant.  I have never heard him mention a spouse on air.  I suppose it is better that way.

As far back as I can remember, I have always seen a ring on Gary. and..........the squirrels are getting plain stupid.  Can't watch Carolyn.

If I am curious about the Denim and Co shows I have to put it on mute when Carolyna dn Gary are on because I know the squirrel will make an appearance.  Way toooo silly for me.

Im not sure we can infer he is married based on a ring.  My impression has always been he is a bachelor.

What's the big negative deal about the squirrels? I think it's cute. To each his own I guess. If you don't like the shows,  don't watch.  Carolyn seems like a really sweet person. Gary does too. I, for one, am so tired of people on this forum criticizing hosts. If you can't say something nice about a person - say nothing at all. IMO. Your mom, I'm sure told y'all that unless she too was cut of the same cloth.
