I am sure Bob admired Bill Cullen, and I think Bob mentioned him in the Archive interview that\'s someplace on YouTube. Bill also appeared on TPIR, riding the train, and Bob had a discussion with him about Price is Right, and Child\'s Play, which I believe Bill was plugging.
I am sure Bob never NEEDED lessons from Bill, but one thing both had in common was that they NEVER stopped talking and kept the game moving. One thing I miss about Bob hosting TPIR was that when a contestant was coming up on stage, Drew never made any commentary as the contestant was coming to him to play a pricing game. It\'s an old trick in radio broadcasting that you NEVER want \"dead air\" because if you went long enough without saying anything, a listener might think there\'s something wrong with the station and change stations. Bob would typically say something like \"Here comes so and so, coming up here to play a pricing game... and he\'s doing so in a hurry, isn\'t he?\" or some variation.
