SHOW 45
- Not one, not one all night. Not
one in the 12:00 hour, not one at one! At two? Not at
all. How 'bout the trivia hour? NOT ONE. Ok, at least
your last hour had one...no, not one. So am I
pissed...?
-
- ...how can I be pissed when I
didn't play a song THE WHOLE NIGHT! Not one
song all night. Straight talk for 5 hours. The
ultimate banner day for Adam Kontras. A no-hitter. I
had some left-over callers from Cannon, and then they
got on the alien
autopsy on FOX. Since I
missed it, I asked people to describe it. 5 hours
later, I had to cut people off. It was wonderful. And
here's the best part, it's all on tape! All 5 hours on
video tape which I will transfer later. I'm so pumped.
I asked Bradley why there were never that many callers
on the weekend, and he said it has more to do with the
topic. Eureka. I'm gonna find some things to talk
about this Friday. This is also the week I take over
for Cannon. This could be a killer week. One problem.
I have this feeling that I could get burnt on radio
pretty quick. I'm 19 and flying high over doing a talk
show for 5 hours. Rightfully so, but what's next? I'm
afraid that this will get old if I'm doing this in 5
years. Well I'm a Singer/Songwriter first and
foremost, I think I'll stick with that...

SHOW 46
- Well, my summer's officially
over. Nine straight overnights and then back to
school. It's amazing but true. Tonight started out
normal enough. I got enough stories to capture my 13th
straight show with at least 3 Brushes With Fame, and
then a funny thing happened. While a caller...
"Susan"...was talking about her BWF, she said she
couldn't understand why anyone famous would come to
Columbus 'cause it sucks. The lines light up. She
hates Columbus and feels she's has the right to say so
since her family's been here since the 1800's. Well
she became my guest and it was "Hello, you're on with
Susan." There were some college students SOOOOO pissed
that she was talking about the football Buckeyes in a
bad vein, it floored me. This went on until the 3:00
hour and I finally called it quits so we could move on
to trivia. But I'm telling you it was insane. The lady
was a real bitch though and said some shit to me off
the air. Then Mike called me with a stumper: "Who did
John write 'Julia' for?" Julia was his mother. Mike
goes nope, it was his aunt. What dilbert. We fought
but I just got tired. It's like fighting over the fact
that John last name is Lennon when he says it's
Harrison. He was just wrong. He talked to me for the
rest of the night and I finally got him off at 6:00.
My ex-girlfriend Karen also called and proceeded to
get smashed throughout the night. She was more
obnoxious then Susan! Ok, I'm tired,
goodnight.

SHOW 47
- The night was pretty slow. Got
enough BWF's for show #14. Trivia went fine. This is
the second night in a row I've given away 4 passes to
the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge. First we have nothing,
and now we're giving away $300 worth of prizes in the
middle of the night. A very routine show. I was
extremely comfortable though. I was talking with
people and not even thinking that I was on the air.
That's nice, but dangerous. I finally think I'm
getting better. Not that I was bad before, but I
didn't feel I was improving. Now I do. The Alien
Autopsy will be replayed Monday at 9:00. I bet I can
pull another no-hitter Tuesday morning. Ok, I'm tired,
normal night, see ya next time.

Monday, September 3rd - 4th, 1995:
SHOW 48
- I really expected this to be a
better show. I talked until 12:35, then played 3
songs. 4 songs in the next hour. Maybe 6 at 2:00, then
Trivia went pretty well. From 4:00 - 5:00 I was fine,
no music at all. So I guess it was a pretty good
night, but I had 4 topics and thought it would go
better. I also felt really sick and tired around 2:00
and it made me less eager to keep talking. I asked
about people's first jobs, worst jobs and so on. It
worked well especially in the last hour. Now from 5:00
to 5:30 I was lost. I forgot I was doing an extra
half hour and at 5 AM...there was no Sally. So I go
into Nat'l news and Perkins came in and explained
everything. Everything like normal except I did the
Wall Street thing on the "DiCard" which made no sense
to me but somehow it worked. I had to play a song just
'cause I felt weird talking with Mike in there. He was
right behind me and I REALLY felt self-conscious. I
got through and then came home sick as a dog. This is
not a good sign. I've got a full week to
go.
