SHOW 76
(400 hours passed)
- Wow, hadn't done a weekday in a
while. It started out slow, but I had quite a bit to
talk about because of the Beatles. Did have a
no-hitter. Seemed harder than on the weekends. Did 2
hours of "themes" and then got utterly sick of it. I
think I'm going to make it a race to 5, must win by
two sort of deal. Of course then it will only last an
hour. I was in a good mood, and then BAM I just about
fell asleep. I MEAN BAM, around 3:45 I could barely
keep my eyes open. I joked that it was all that
triptophane from the turkey I had eaten. I was knocked
out. Haven't a clue how I made it through the last
hour. Oh, and then I said how everyone was insane to
be shopping today. It's so extremely crowded on this
day. And how BC is at the City Center, and it will be
a zoo (day after Thanksgiving, biggest shopping day).
Then Joe calls up on the house line and says that City
Center is paying 6 figures for this deal and, I
shouldn't be downing their place. God I felt like
shit, it never even crossed my mind. It's funny when
you work for a big-time radio station you basically
work for the entire city. All of your sponsors. So I
in essence was telling people not to shop today, at
our mall: City Center. I didn't really though, I said
go eat breakfast with BC, but I won't be there 'cause
I'm tired. Then I rambled a bit about the crowds. Ahh
well, I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me. Shit,
at first I thought it was Bill, then I realized he
wasn't in house, Joe was. Ok, I'm done.

SHOW 77
- Night started out SLOW, I knew
I didn't have a prayer for a no-hitter, and it was
truly all my fault. I had nothing prepared. BWF #44
was done in 3 calls and I just didn't have anything to
talk about. I'm gonna have this segment called Adam's
Week in Review. It will basically be things I wrote
down during the week that caught my eye, and that will
make things go smoother. Then people called asking for
XMAS music. Actually I bailed myself out with "Rusty
Chevrolet" and it had a domino effect. That took me
until 2:00 and then the Trivia took me until 6:00! I'm
telling you, it's an animal! That's good and all, but
jesus, it takes a monkey to read questions. I just get
bored with it, but damn, no one else does. And it's
not the same 10 people. I probably recognize about 30
people. And 20 different winners. It's insane. I
really want to shorten it, but people keep calling and
asking for it. What a great problem. At least I
made
a new song for it to
"Free as a Bird" I'm such a Beatle whore. BC came in
and said his usual "You in here?" I said not for long.
Then he asked me if I was tired and I said, "yeah the
triptophane kicked in around 4:00" he smiled at said
that'll do it to ya. I think it was the first time I
made him take notice and smile/laugh....Jesus, I am
documenting this.

SHOW 78
- Well, the Buckeyes went 11-0
and then lost to Michigan. No Big Ten Championship, no
Rose Bowl, no Perfect season, no National
championship, and probably no Heisman trophy for
Eddie, oh, and we lost to Michigan. That's all anyone
wanted to talk about, it was one of my best
nights...until the pranks took over. Had this fuckin'
little prick call over and over and over and over. As
soon as I hung up he redialed. All throughout trivia.
I was going insane. He wouldn't cuss, just call and
say something stupid. For THREE HOURS. The 4:00 hour
got real bad and I just about lost it on the air. So I
threw on a song, and vegged out. I got on and said
"They don't pay me to babysit, and until I have a
producer I'm gonna do what they DO pay me for: playing
music" Then people would call up (mostly old fuckin'
ladies) and say music was better than all this talk
crap. This was up there with THE shitty night this
summer. I was furious. AAAAHHHH! I'm still pissed!
Other than that everything was great.

Monday, November 26th - 27th, 1995:
- I type this with every effort
being made no to smile: Someone took two of Cannon's
most used carts. Hee, hee. I had to snicker. When I
heard, I went on the air with him and we talked for a
good half hour about it. It was nice sitting there
talking. I was thinking that that would be a nice way
to open Sunday first hours. But that will never
happen. I liked letting the audience know that we get
along. I'm sure they think we never talk, and it was
even weird to hear my voice and his in basically the
same breath. Funny enough he had his mic up 2x higher
than mine. Ah well, it was fun.
