Coaching the Show, In the Show

My friend Jen was performing at a storytelling show. I was coaching her over the phone. I think I was in Boston... not sure where she was. Later, she called me back for more advice and I was talking to her on the phone again. I said, "You don't have me on speaker-phone, do you?", and I heard an audience roar with laughter. "You guessed it," she said. So, she was doing her performance live, with me on the phone coaching her, but I had no idea. At first I was pissed, but then I relaxed. "Hi!" I called out over the phone to the audience, and everyone yelled back "Hi!" and laughed. There was some more banter and then I called out, "Buy Swimming Upstream, Slowly!" but I think I got the title wrong.
