- Meeting #13. Ethan caught up
with me before I met Bill and said there was a cart
that he wanted me to hear. I get it and it's the John
and Jane show, and I guess now they do Brushes With
Fame! So Jean from the Northwest calls up defending me
saying that I did it first and they're stealing. It
was great. Jane actually treated me shitty saying
"When is his little show on the air?" Then Gary called
them up during a contest where they were asking the
audience to "Guess the Singer" and said my name.
Jane's goes: "Like everybody knows who Adam Kontras
is?" - her tone man. Oh well, I'm being mentioned in
afternoon drive time. It
ain't a bad thing...
Then the meeting. Really good meeting. Gave me some
great hints on a BAD Aircheck. Though who am I
kidding, it's always gonna be bad when your boss is
sitting there listening to it with you. Told him about
life, all was good.

SHOW 109
- Fun night. Introduced Theme
Trivia coming in at 3:30 instead of 3:00. I like that
much better. Also used the cart Ethan made for me, it
was very funny. Night went very well. Damn is my
audience big. All night long...callers after callers,
new and old, very complimentary, and of course the
prankers. They arrived around 3:00 in droves, but I
did alright. Their determination is unreal. Talk was
quick and funny, and my audience is really growing.
And then again, BC in the morning - "Leave any
tinklers or poo-pooers this morning?" I said no, in
fact I played some songs to create a divide between my
callers and yours. He then said "I don't mind, I find
your callers amusing." For Christ's sake Bob. Then as
I'm driving home, BC has a caller who says he's sick
of hearing people laugh when things aren't funny. I
thought he was talking about me, but he said that it
was Jane, and then stumbled to find the name of the
guy on before Cannon, said "Adam", then said: "No,
Adam's pretty cool.." It was great, not only does he
get me confused with full time help, he takes it back
and then reams Hansel for the laughing thing...Ha!
Gotta love it.

SHOW 110
- First time I think since that
one night Carmen produced for me, that I got on the
air, no calls, and I was screwed. I find it
challenging to get on with nothing in mind, and see
what moves me. Not like this though. A lot of pranks
and no good calls. And I mean a lot of pranks, it's
getting outrageous again. Some guy called up and said
to just make fun of them, that it was funny. So that
was the first hour. Nothing really gelled all night.
Glenn called at the 2:00 hour, but even that got old.
Had the best talk at the 5:00 hour. I mean it was
really interesting. Did Trivia at 3:30 again and I
think that that's now pretty stable. It leaves enough
room to screw around, and have a good full hour of
questions and some fun. Brian won, and says he's
determined to 3-Peat. He also is bringing me a pizza
next Friday, and you can't beat that. Overall
decent..no, I'd consider this a poor night. But that's
alright, I've got my first new car! 1996 Toyota
Corrola so all is good with the world.

Monday, February 18th - 19th, 1996:
- Wow, a full 4 hours...it's been
awhile. Cannon was askin' me about the weekend because
apparently someone said I was harpin' him on my show.
Glenn and I together. He knows better than that. I
would never rag on an employee. But he sat there and
gave me too much advice on Glenn and other call-in
stars of Columbus. Too much, but some of it was
good.
