SHOW 13
- Wasserman didn't show up until
11:45! Made things kind of hectic for the first hour.
I wanted to go over some things with him, but I
couldn't and it was a shitty first hour. He must've
smoked a lot of weed in his day 'cause I probably told
him 5 times how to say the current temperature at the
end, and that there was a cart right after that, but
he fucked it up every time. Hardly anyone called in,
of course until after he was gone, and then they
called me. \He is intelligent, and I agree with some
of his views, but I don't think he'll get many callers
this week. People said they turn off the radio when
he's on. Which isn't good for me, because Hansel keeps
saying that Wasserman's filling in for Cannon!!!!
Goddamnit it's only for two hours. Why does Wasserman
get all this press? Oh well. I'm kind of jealous, but
not worried. He's too much of a novice to be a threat.
God, I have room to talk. Afterwards my hours went
great. The trivia was a blast. I had a lot of fun. I
was laughing the whole time. Gave away JCS tix, and
Tecumseh Tix. Man I want to see JCS
with the original cast members!
Love that show. Also love the trivia hour, it gets me
pumped the rest of the time. I hope Wasserman fails
miserably. He's a nice guy, but I want my time slot
back. Then, of all people...Sally Wagner said I
sounded good on the air! I'm actually starting to like
her, I should go change what I said
before.

SHOW 14
- Well Wasserman did better. I
feel bad, he's a humble guy, always asking if he did
good. Very nice, I'd love to hang out with him, but I
want that time! Goddamn he's got all this press, and
so on....it makes me sick. It's because he's talk
talent. I'm just a DJ. But I've proved I can do it! He
can't read very effectively over the air, and a few
people pointed that out to him...on the air, but just
talking, he's pretty decent. Luckily tomorrow's his
last night though. I know he'll be in there on that 16
day stint, but oh well. My time went great. I love
doing trivia, it's a blast! Had some great questions
today. Got stumped the first 5 times, then finally
started getting a few. It's great. I am going to ask
if my hour before that can be a Beatles Music hour and
then the trivia. That's askin' for a lot, but maybe
I'll get it on my weekend show. I'm getting extreme
creative urges now...I hope this will be a good
outlet. Oh and as I'm leaving I had a real
conversation with Bob Conners, wow. He yelled "FUCK
YOU" to the radio and took me by surprise. He was
upset about the Hugh Grant thing. I asked if it was
because he was getting so much press over a blow job,
and he said it's just stupid. I said blow job to Bob
Conners. I find that exteremely funny.

SHOW 15
- Great night all around.....but
after my last entry a big black guy broke into our
apartment and tried to rob us. Luckily I was there and
he turned and left, but quite a scary experience
nonetheless. So tonight Burgundie sat in with me
during the show. Harvey had a good last night...I
stress last. He didn't generate too many
callers, but once again he's a great guy. I just hope
to never see him again. ANYWAY, trivia was the best
ever. Truly good questions, got 6 or 7 out of 10. One
caller didn't know the right answer to his own
question, and I only knew part of it, but I put him in
the drawing anyway, so he was the fourth. Everything
went smoothly, and I had a lot of praises on my Beatle
skill. I really have my own audience it's great.
People are so polite, I try to be polite as I can be,
to them too. The best question of the night had to be:
Q: What Beatle did the U.S. Govt. hate the most? I
said John Lennon, of course. A: The Japaneese
Beetle... :-)

SHOW 16
- Man, this night really sucked.
The only reason being I got stumped BAD...try 10 times
in a row. It was sad. Some people just asked
impossible question, but others were quite fair, and I
was quite wrong. That whole hour I forgot half my
spots, and a weather break. Things get so hectic that
you forget. And because so many people got the answers
right and stumped me, I was writing down addresses the
whole hour. Some guy said I was still the king of
Beatles trivia, which was cool. I really feel like I'm
getting an audience. I hope they stick with me on
weekends when Cannon comes back during the week. As
bad as tonight went, I have to reflect on where I am.
A bad night for me is getting stumped on my OWN Trivia
hour....getting stumped on the Beatles...and then
playing music. That just rocks. I have to be one of
the luckiest 19 year olds alive. Oh, and Sally Wagner
said I sounded good on the air again. She's actually
pretty nice. Who'd have thunk it?

SHOW 17
- It was odd doing the weekend
gig again. There's a little more work involved. Hansel
gave me the idea of making my shift like a morning
show, you know, kind of make it crazy. It's a rather
good idea. If Bill gave me that chance, I'd put in the
extra work. What I really want to do is have specific
hours with a theme. That would be great. Well the
trivia hour kicked some butt. It went too quick, but
that's 'cause the questions were easy, and I was only
stumped 4 times. They seem to go in cycles. I'm
starting to rethink some of my earlier statements
about my co-workers. I stand the same on Hansel....for
sure. In fact I think I dislike him now more than
ever. He's just too much like Dave. He's got that
cocky attitude that seems like he's hiding
insecurities. It drives me batty. BC is actually easy
to get along with, and I don't hold my breath when I'm
in the same room anymore. And Joe Bradley is extremely
funny...now that I never take him seriously. I like
work a lot. I'm in a tremendous
opportunity.

SHOW 18
- Came early to make some labels
for WOBN. I'm ecstatic I've figured that out. Now the
whole station will look good. Tonight was kind of odd.
Had an old nemesis Tara DeFrancisco call me and we
talked (and made up) for 4 hours off the air. It was
great, barely like I was working. But I screwed up a
few too many times too. I also just played whatever I
wanted all night, I didn't want to get up. Trivia went
well again. Then that lady called up again and asked
this time: "Where was I when The Beatles played Ed
Sullivan?" When I said at home, she said: "And where
was that?" I said I havent a clue...Columbus. "No,
Pittsburgh" Fuck her. I kind of yelled at her off the
air. I really have no clue what the feel of the night
was because I was talking to Tara the whole time. I
just went through the motions....but hey, it's my last
night.

Monday, July 16th - July 17th, 1995:
- I produced Hansel and Cannon.
Hansel still seems like an ass to me, but Cannon is
really a fun guy. Got a lot of callers saying how good
I did the past week, which was great. Kathryn Piermont
said I sounded great. It was nice. Overall, producing
can get really boring though. Just screening calls. Oh
well, It's a job. Speaking of which I still haven't
gotten my paycheck.....what's the deal with
that?
