This Week* in Vending: Christian Plunkett
March 6, 2008 by Kevin Hazard, Web Hosting Evangelist in Evangelist's Corner, The Planet
Given the phenomenal success of Todd’s “This Month in Vending” interview last week, along with his survival, we decided to post a new episode for your viewing pleasure. With this quick turnaround, we changed the name of the segment to “This Week* in Vending” with the asterisk doubling as an attention grabber for the word change … and as an excuse in case we aren’t able to keep up the pace.
In this interview, I enjoy a vending machine chili-cheese hot dog with Christian Plunkett, The Planet’s Manager of Technical Support. A new addition to the episode is the welcome music track pulled from a song performed by our very own Brandon Holbrook … Hopefully he accepts this shout-out as a substitute for the royalties an artist would typically receive. 
If you’ve worked with anyone here at The Planet and you’re interested in hearing from them in a segment of “This Week* in Vending,” please let us know. If you work at The Planet and you want to embarrass one of your co-workers, feel free to nominate them as well.

Entertaining but need to work on sound. Not loud enough.

You’re absolutely right, Sally … We’ve been using the internal microphone on the camera, and with so much open space, it isn’t able to pick up the conversation well. Now it’s a matter of trial and error to get a good external mic.

Wow Kevin, you guys aren’t messing around… first riblets, now chili-cheese dogs. Obviously The Planet has excellent health coverage.

I suggest you have someone give the Chicken Wings a whirl next.

haha… I think the legal team might be making participants sign a waiver after looking at some of the nutritional values, Brian.
So far, we’ve avoided the emergency room… They were both close calls, though.

Those chicken wings look scary. Bright-red glistening bone-in microwavable chicken wings … That doesn’t sound good for anyone.

I wonder what you guys will do with the ashleydupre.com domain???

Ahhh, my little man is all grown up.. Nice work, I think I’ll avoid that brand of hotdog though. Christian is a solid manager, and I’m glad to see him getting notice. -Dave

Maybe the girl who did the planet world news would be brave enough to give the wings a whirl….unless she’s chicken

I smell a challenge (as well as … could it be? The nauseating scent of microwaved chicken wings). It’s on!
