SHOW 19
- Earlier in the week Bill White
told me that I should cut back on the requests. It was
probably the fourth time he's mentioned this, and so I
decided to make a concerned effort. I knew that people
would still call in, so on my first break I explained
the predicament, and maybe they could call in and give
pet peeves or other things. Well they called in, their
pet peeve was no music requests. I mean these people
were pissed. 4 or 5 said they'd talk to Bill
personally, and one guy started yelling at me on the
air saying it was my choice and I was passing the
buck! I tried to tell him that I really enjoyed
requests, but he was not buying it. Then came trivia.
Some guy calls up and answered a question wrong. The
question was how long does it take for sunlight to
reach the earth? He says the sun's rays travel at
186,000 miles per second. Very good sir, the earth is
also round, but how long does it take? He just
couldn't get it. Finally he says "You just don't want
me to stump you..." What a dick. He pleads with me to
let him answer another. He gets that wrong too, and I
say "I can't go through all of these and let you try,
if you'd like to stump me for fun, go ahead. He asks
me which Beatles girlfriend gaqve them the idea for
the moptop. The answer was Stu Sutcliffe. He stumped
me, and I asked him if he knew the story about John's
involvement in Stu's death, and he went off. He said
it was absurd for me to suggest that John was involved
in anyway. This was of course a pretty well known
rumor. He said that Stu committed suicide! Look in any
book, and it says that he died of a brain hemorrhage,
not a real common way to kill yourself. In even more
detailed books, they talk of a fight that John and Stu
were involved in which John knocked him out and left
him lying there, later finding out that Stu died of a
hemorrhage to the brain. Indirectly that makes John
the murderer. Of course this is a rumor, but a rumor
in many books. He fought with me forever. I finally
said go get your book, I'll get mine, we'll have a
debate tomorrow at midnight. FINALLY he agreed, so
it's on. I still blew his ass up as he hung up with my
Adam
Bomb. Did I mention
that? I made a cart of a huge explosion and have
been happily obliterating idiot callers. Tomorrow will
rock though. I'm pumped, he's wrong, it will be fun.
As for the requests, I don't know what to do since
Bill doesn't work on the weekends, and will be out of
town on Monday and Tuesday. I'll just play it by
ear.

SHOW 20
(100 hours passed)
- What an anticlimactic way to
celebrate my 100th hour on the air. He didn't call.
The weasal. I went to the library, wasted money on the
copier, went to a bookstore....and he doesn't call. Oh
well. This was the first shift that I thoroughly
thought I wasn't going to make it through. I was
sooooo tired, and felt sick. I can't seem to get back
on a schedule. I don't want to sleep from Noon to Ten
because I'll have no day left, but now I sleep for 3
hours before I go on, and 5 hours when I get home....
I'm tired at the wrong times, and sleepy at the wrong
times. Anyway, my 100th hour went great though, trivia
went on with no problems. Everyone played by the
rules. Then a good deal of people called to stump me
for fun. It was quite enjoyable. I took a few requests
but did not advertise that I would too much. Still
pissed that guy didn't call, but maybe he will next
time.

SHOW 21
- I did my first voice over at
the station. Valvoline Motor Oil, at the Duke/Duchess
stores. It was alright, but I was extremely tired.
That guy still did not call... that pisses me off. Had
a "friend" call me from the road because he heard
Thursday. That's perfect, exactly what I want, people
to hear that song. Had some guy with out a voice box
who used one of those electronic things that made him
sound like a monotone alien, it was interesting. I'm
finding that people really don't like Hansel too much.
But why they tell me is odd. Like a 19 year old has a
big say in things. In 5 years I will though. God, am I
going to be doing this for 5 years? I kind of hope
not.
