"This is not a recorded message. This IS Rudy Gay."

Today was the deadline to renew Grizzlies tix for next year.  I called my account representative and cheerfully renewed our seats.  Little did I know that later in the day I would get a personal call from Rudy Gay, my favorite Grizzly, to thank me for renewing.  I thought it was a recorded message until he responded to my silly remark and let me know it truly WAS Rudy Gay and not a recording.  I am sure the call will be used for training purposes as people in the background were laughing out loud when he was trying to convince me it was not a recording.  What a great marketing tool for the Grizz!
