What Is Your CGS Claim To Fame?

I thought it might be fun for the forum members to share their own "CGS Claim To Fame". I myself had the privilege of introducing an episode of CGS way back in October of 2010, the episode was CGS: Episode 949 Thor: First Thunder #2. I believe around this time Peter was contacting some of the long time listeners to see if they would like to record an intro for an episode of the podcast. I also had an email read on the show by Peter but I have no idea anymore what episode it was on. The email was basically about what month and year the CGS show numbering would be estimated to surpass the numbering of the longest running comics like Amazing Spider-Man, Detective Comics, and Action Comics. The CGS show has long since accomplished this feat lol.
Have you introduced an episode of CGS, had a voicemail played, email read or by chance muddled the Murd? What is your "CGS Claim To Fame"? Please share!

I had to really dig to find it.
But WAYYYYYY back on CGS: Episode 1082, Peter had me come on to talk 'War of the Green Lanterns' with Shane, Mike, Pants, and himself. Since I was then a part of the LanternCast podcast (and now am running it with my co-host Mark) I suppose they needed a Green Lantern "expert".
But there have been other times. LanternCast won best in show or whatever one year at SuperShow. Murd mentioned Ragman once or twice on the show and threw in a shoutout to myself and my Ragman blog. Murd came on a full episode of the LanternCast to review 'Zero Hour' once, that was fun.
Geez. It's been a REALLY long while since I've spoken to any of the geeks directly. I'd say we should rectify that soon but GL isn't the interest driver he once was....so unless they want to talk about the new Ragman mini-series (currently on issue 4 of 6), then I guess I don't have much opportunity to talk with them.
That's actually kinda sad.
Look what you did! Making me sad over here.
Haha, teasing.
End of list.
Also managed to Stump the Rios and Muddle the Murd (took me a handful of tries for both of those) . . .
And @Adam_Murdough calling for my input regarding the characterization of Gorilla Grodd by Geoff Johns in his most recent Time Bubble have all been highlights.
But my favorite time "in the spotlight" was when the Geeks invited me on the show to go through the June, 2010 Previews catalog with them (ep. 866), while allowing me to talk about the self-published anthology I co-created and co-wrote that was available for order through DCBS that month, as well. Enlivening a discussion is not something that comes natural for me, and I don't know that I added much to the overall talk in the episode, but it was fun nonetheless, and I am still grateful for their generosity.
Yup - as CGS was nearing 1000 at that time, it was a fun way to say thanks to longtime listeners for the journey. I know there were listeners who were missed but the creativity in some of those intros was a blast.
I also did an introduction. I would like a do over on that though.
Side note I am available for more work and can pretend I read something other than Scooby-Doo comics.

All around OG.
What up y’all? It’s been a minute hasn’t it?
How have you been Peter?
Was on the Conan episode of Comics with or without Pulp.
Do you remember which episodes?
Jamie D chuckled at me as I correctly guessed where Donald Blake found the walking stick/hammer of Thor.
Me: “Nor...way?
Jamie: “You definitely pulled that answer out of ....somewhere ...deep!”
