Rick Ken 37 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 3: and Frank were so cool about the last minute request 38 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: accommodating and they were going to be there to help 39 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: Clay get the show on the air if Buck was 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 3: not able to host. 41 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: Kudos to Clay too for being willing to step up 42 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: in that case as well and say, Okay, we're going 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: to be on vacation and I'm going to send the 44 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: kids off to the park or whatever, and I'm willing 45 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: to come in for the you know, three hours a 46 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: little bit plus so he could do some show prep 47 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: and cover. I thought that that was really selfless of 48 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: him to be able to. 49 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 3: Do that yeah, we are a really great team here, 50 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 3: and everyone has everyone else's back or behind.

And that's why having a 54 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: home studio is so convenient, because imagine if he was 55 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: here in the studio, the bathroom's like half a mile away, 56 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: it really is. 57 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he'd be He never would have made it. 58 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: And yeah we did.

Oh wait, that sounds even worse. It 62 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: stands for the things that happen when you're sick. 63 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: A very disgusting clip. 64 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 4: Oh, actually that's. 65 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Even better, the very disgusting clip. 66 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: Four minutes of filler hoping that nobody would be the 67 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: one if Buck had to pull the ripcord in make 68 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: a break for it. 69 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: Exactly, And we didn't need it, fortunately. 70 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: But all of this got us thinking about times in 71 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: the past where people have called and said, we remembered 72 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: Buck's great story of the first time he filled in 73 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 3: for Rush Limbaugh as a guest host at the time 74 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 3: you and I were working with Rush. 75 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 4: That's right, I met Buck. 76 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: I had no idea he was as sick as he 77 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 3: was that very first day. So to hear him retell 78 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 3: that story kind of cool to hear from my perspective. 79 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no idea either. I wasn't really even aware. 80 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: We were just doing our jobs and living our lives 81 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: and whatever. And only later did I find out, Oh 82 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: my god, that poor guy who was on the air, 83 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: who we didn't know who he was at that point, 84 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: this more Cia guy. 85 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: It's a fun story that kind of feels like the 86 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: plot line and so many movies where the protagonist is 87 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: up against all odds. Everything is going wrong, there's one 88 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: hurdle after another, and just when you think there's no hope, 89 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 3: a miracle happens. One of our listeners, Steve, actually sent 90 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: in a talkback message remembering that fateful day and wanted 91 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 3: to know more about it.

My 182 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 6: mom says, my son is filling in for the biggest 183 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 6: radio show in the country. I guess in the world. 184 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 6: I don't know if there's a bigger show in China, 185 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 6: but you know, bigger show in the world. Can you 186 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 6: please just help him, like whatever you can do. She goes, 187 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 6: all right, the day of I go in there, and 188 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 6: I go in there ten o'clock in the morning. She 189 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 6: looks at my vocal cords. It's doctor Coravin. She looks 190 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 6: at my vocal cords, Clay, and she goes, you are cooked. 191 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 6: There is no chance you're going to be able to 192 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 6: do this show. The only option is I'm going to 193 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 6: give you a steroid shot. The steroid shot will bring 194 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 6: the inflammation of your vocal cords down, but it will 195 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 6: only last three to four hours. Oh wow. So it's 196 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 6: like ten thirty in the morning the day of the show. 197 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 6: And you know, she didn't she didn't know. She didn't 198 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 6: know I was doing the show. She didn't know what time. 199 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 6: I'm like, that actually will work? Can you give me 200 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 6: the shot late? How can we do it? And so 201 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 6: that I started out that show, I said I had 202 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 6: a bit of a cold. I was shaking that my 203 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 6: voice the whole time was going to just disappear and 204 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 6: I would sound like a huge, a huge wimp. And 205 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 6: at the by the end of the show, by the way, 206 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 6: the voice was pretty much gone. And that night I 207 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 6: couldn't speak again. So that was the whole if you're wondering, 208 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 6: and for days at the anxiety level, for days afterwards, 209 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 6: I was just like shaking it home, like, oh my god, 210 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 6: I was so scared my voice was going to go. 211 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 6: But it went well enough they had me back and. 212 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 7: Now here we are, okay, So I want to give 213 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 7: So first of all, that's great. The doctor was there 214 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 7: and she was willing to do this. Did your mom 215 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 7: think on the spot about the idea of opera singers 216 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 7: and how they were treated? 217 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 6: I actually am curious house. 218 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 7: I mean, that's a brilliant idea that she would have had, 219 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 7: because we make a living based on being able to talk. 220 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 7: But I wouldn't even have thought. I mean, first of all, 221 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 7: and you're in New York City, I know in Nashville, 222 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 7: I would have been totally in trouble because. 223 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 6: My mom loves you know, my mom was she was 224 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 6: in the near She was in a ballet at the 225 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 6: American Ballet Theater, and so she loves classical music and 226 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 6: she has friends in the opera in New York and everything, 227 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 6: so she knows that world a bit. But it was 228 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 6: totally her idea, And this is what even thought about it. 229 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 7: That's Mom saving the day. 230 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 6: Totally saved the day. And the doctor. The doctor looked 231 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 6: at me, she was like, she's like, your vote you have. 232 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 6: She actually said, if I tried to push through without 233 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 6: the steroid, you can do permanent damage because you can 234 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 6: create scar tissue because of all the inflammation in your 235 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: vocal box. So this was just at all, all the 236 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 6: stars alive. But people ask, yeah, my eleven day.

That was the only time and 239 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 6: by far the biggest time I was ever nervous.

I was shaking like 251 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 6: a leaf. So yeah, that was I mean, Clay, you're 252 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 6: the same. I can tell you the same thing. Even 253 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 6: when the first time I did TV, like the first 254 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 6: time I was on Cable News, I was like, I 255 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 6: was Cia baby, cool as a cucumber, Like this isn't 256 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 6: gonna phase me. This was when I was like, oh 257 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 6: my god, oh my god, oh my god. So I 258 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 6: remember it, trust me eleven years ago in Mom you 259 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 6: are the greatest mom, but also a genius on the spot. 260 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 7: I mean, that's what I'm saying, Like, even to think, Okay, 261 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 7: who would be able to treat this, who would be 262 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 7: able to figure out a way to make this happened? 263 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 7: Because this is always an issue for singers, right I know. 264 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 7: I think I came on the air and talked about 265 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 7: the fact that I went to watch Adele and some 266 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 7: of you were like, well, no, it was incredible right, 267 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 7: she was amazing in Caesar's, but then she's had to 268 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 7: cancel a ton of her performances because of vocal fold 269 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 7: related issues. And obviously, when you are an incredible talent 270 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 7: like that, something as as simple as a cold can 271 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 7: throw everything into an uproar. So I wouldn't have even 272 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 7: thought about that. But credit to your mom because you 273 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 7: probably got how many doctors like that are there in 274 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 7: the nation. 275 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 6: Specialize that specialize in this, because most people would just say, look, 276 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 6: you got a cold, like go home from work, like 277 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 6: you know, it's just not don't talk as much. Fine, 278 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 6: it's not a major medical issue unless you make a 279 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 6: living and have a performance of some kind with your voice. 280 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 6: But yeah, I like to tell people on such a 281 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 6: vocal athlete that I had to take steroids performance enhancing 282 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 6: rugs for my vocals. 283 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 7: So how long did it take for your voice to 284 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 7: get back to normal after you took the steroid shot 285 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 7: to be able to do the show on. 286 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 6: Two to three days? Two to three days? Still just 287 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 6: like being shot? Oh yeah, horse, you know, sounded totally weird, 288 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 6: but yeah, So when I met Ali and the team 289 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 6: and Mike and Mike, Mike Mamoane was there, Mike knew. 290 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 6: I was nervous as hell. But anyway, when I was there, 291 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 6: they were there, and that was how it all went. 292 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: Greg, I really love your little joke there about Buck 293 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 3: going through puberty. 294 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 2: Well did you hear his voice? I mean, he really 295 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 2: sounded so much younger than he does today. 296 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: And when was that twenty fourteen? 297 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: Yes, I think that that sounds about right. 298 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: Wow, his voice really does sound different. 299 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: It really, It's so unusual, and it could be there's 300 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: a lot of things that go into that. There's processing, 301 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: and the microphone itself was different and that sort of 302 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: same thing. 303 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 4: Technology changes, Technology. 304 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: Changes, so there's a lot of things that could be 305 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: going into I'm sure had nothing to do with the 306 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: fact that he was, you know, ten years younger than 307 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 2: he or eleven years younger than he is currently. So 308 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: it's just so funny how difference that it it does make. 309 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, just as a quick aside, we 310 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: have made times there have been times where somebody records 311 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: something in a spot, a commercial or that sort of thing, 312 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: and then we've got to go back and correct something 313 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: we need to have it from and we've even done 314 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: it here on the podcast where we've got to go 315 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: back and pull from a different version or re record 316 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: something and then drop it in. You have to have 317 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: the same mic and the same conditions because otherwise it 318 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: doesn't sound the same. It's really, it really makes a difference. 319 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 4: That's true. 320 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: Now, Greg, just as a personal aside, what has been 321 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: your worst day in terms of coming to work and 322 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: being sick. 323 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: Have you ever had a. 324 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: Situation where we might have need to use the VD 325 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: clip for you? 326 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: No?

He might 362 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 3: have gotten in traffic or something happened that day and 363 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: suddenly Snurdly had to start the show. Remember that you 364 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 3: remember that day? Yeah, all of a sudden we hear 365 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 3: Snurdly and we're like, Oh, what's going on? 366 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: What's going on? 367 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: We were looking at each other in our in our 368 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: little alcoholic just trying to figure out what was going 369 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: on because we weren't totally up to speed that this 370 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: was going to be happening. It was, or we might 371 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: have gotten win like a minute before the show started, 372 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: that this was going to be happening. It was really unusual. 373 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: And he did start right out of the gate with 374 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: a joke just to you know, ease everyone's feelings immediately. 375 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: But it was that was fun for Snurdley. 376 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and SNDY could do stuff like that, you know. 377 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: And then of course he was quickly off Mike again 378 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: because Russia always had a rule that the staff never 379 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: had a microphone. 380 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 3: So yes, and as you're listening to this podcast, you 381 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: might be like, well that would be why. 382 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: That's a good rule. 383 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 4: I think. 384 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: Get these two people off the bike. 385 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 3: I think the only other crazy instance at work in 386 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 3: terms of being sick is one time the board operator 387 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 3: I was working with. It was a freelancer. It wasn't 388 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 3: our Mike mamone. It was a freelancer. Was in that 389 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: day I think someone had a day off and he 390 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: had an event like I thought it was a hard event, 391 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 3: but he suddenly couldn't do anything, and he was pounding 392 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 3: his chest, and I panicked because he was making you know, 393 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 3: when someone's choking, they make the signal. 394 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 4: He was basically making the signal, but to his chest. 395 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: Oh no. 396 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 3: And I ran into the kitchen and remember Rush used 397 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: to have tons of snapple. Oh yeah, he had some 398 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 3: snapple in there. I mean it was expired like ten 399 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 3: years prior, but it was still in the fridge, the 400 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 3: peach snapple. I grabbed that and handed it to him 401 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: and it was a blood sugar thing, so he was okay. 402 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 3: But it was one of those moments where I'm like, 403 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 3: oh my god, what do you do when air traffic 404 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 3: control goes down? 405 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 4: Because that's essentially what the board op. 406 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 2: Is, yeah, exactly, which is what they're finding out what's 407 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: going on in Newark. And I don't think peach snapple 408 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 2: can help any of those people in Newark right now. 409 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: But that's an amazing story. I don't yeah, I mean 410 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: I don't remember that because again, there was no one 411 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: else in that control room at that point who probably 412 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: knew what buttons to push in a pinch. I mean, 413 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 2: I don't know if Kit was still around, then Kit 414 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 2: might have been able to do it, but you know, 415 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: or maybe Brian down in Florida. But no, that's amazing. 416 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 4: This reminds me. 417 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 3: If any of you out there have any stories of 418 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: crazy things that happened to you on the job where 419 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 3: you had to either fill in for somebody else's role 420 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: and you'd never done it before because of a last minute, 421 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 3: sixth situation, or any kind of crazy work story, send 422 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 3: it into producer Greg and I and we'll collect them all. 423 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 3: You can use the talkback feature and tell us what 424 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: happened to you, or if you're a VIP, you can 425 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: send us an email with your tail. 426 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 4: We love hearing stories. 427 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 2: Like this absolutely and if you send it in, you 428 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 2: never know, it might get on the next podcast, the 429 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: next after hours podcast, easter Egg, which just shows up randomly, 430 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: just like an Easter egg does.

It's it's I 439 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: always have a bit of a panic, especially the first day, 440 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: just because I know that there's some big shoes to fill. 441 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: You There's a lot that you do and I have 442 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 2: to be in and I have to do not only 443 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: do I do my job, and I've got a lot 444 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: of help with this. Producer Mark is fantastic with this, 445 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 2: and the guys on the digital team always step up 446 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: and help whenever they can as well. But I always 447 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: have this tension that in myself that I feel like 448 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna let Ali down. 449 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 3: Oh, quite the opposite. And you're about seven feet tall 450 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 3: because you have to wear a million hats that day. 451 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: A little bit of anxiety inducing though, it's definitely some 452 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: definitely some stress. What about yourself. 453 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 4: I think the. 454 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 3: Biggest fear I have when we are short staffed is 455 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: just managing like octopus arms, Like, how are multitasking all 456 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 3: the different things and making sure it all goes together 457 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: smoothly so that people listening will have no idea that 458 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: there's mad chaos going on behind the scenes. 459 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: Well, that's the idea. It's it's we need to remember 460 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: that this is you know, at the end of the day. 461 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: This is showbiz and we're playing without a net here, 462 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: and we need to just make sure that the only 463 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: thing that people see or hear in this particular case 464 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 2: is what we're putting out on the stage and not 465 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: what's going on behind the curtains, in the rafters and things. 466 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: And as long as the audience doesn't know any better, 467 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: then it's a good day.
