Any idea if they are on any kind of regular schedule? Would love to see them when there in November but don't know if it's a random thing.

Its random right now and on a trial run for about a month.

This brought a tear to my eye. As some of you know, back in March I was one of the thousands to apply to be Beakers 'friend'. After two phone interviews and submitting a video audition tape they flew 25 of us down for live auditions. We spent two weeks training in gymnastics and with voice specialists. Then they narrowed it down to the five finalists, the entire month of July was spent with us training in the Florida heat and learning the skits, especially mastering the unicycle. The biggest moment was working with Dr. Honeydew (who had already been selected) but ultimately I was not selected and sent home with a muppets tee shirt and key chain.

After seeing this video though I know that they made the right choice, and I am still on the call back list incase some accident were to occur and my services would be needed.

i may be setting myself up to look stupid here but can you explain the unicycle part? I was assuming that this was some sort of radio controlled segway-type thing.
