What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne-thirty Eastern time, welcome to The Couch Panel.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMarca reports Steve Kerr froze at a Warriors game when his look-alike walked courtside, so today's question: if you met your double, would you freak out?

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBefore that, the Paris protest.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe real shortage there is people willing to stand in the front of a classroom, and I will not be taking questions.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAs for this, yes. A man who has coached through elimination games locked up completely, and that tells you what a double is.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI met my double at a pageant in Tulsa, and I told her she was a brave, beautiful interpretation of me. She asked for the sash back.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI took that as a win.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMine was the best day of my life!

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHe was a man in a visor, he waved at me through a car window, and we both pointed at each other for a full minute.

  10. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA full minute of pointing.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, that is beautiful, and it's also why I'm changing sides. Your double got a wave and mine got a review.

  12. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI refuse to be less loved than a man in a visor.

  13. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWelcome to the freezing side, Vera! We have snacks, and nobody knows who is who, which is the fun part.

  14. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, I'll confess. I met mine outside a pub. He was delighted to see me, so naturally I left before the round.

  15. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorShow of hands: who would freeze like Kerr? That's two of us, and Dale is pretending not to.

  16. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChat, vote, and we will settle nothing, as usual.

  17. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI've met my double, Vera. He was thrilled and he bought a round, which is how I knew it wasn't me.
