do politics and sports, and Anthonyand his friends started a sports shows a
mixer. How to people call it? Now? How did you know how
to do that? Sea Rod?It's easy, It's give away our secrets.
Okay, we tried. We Yeah, okay, so that's I was
(03:44):
say, it's pretty random for somebodyto just take up a mixing board for
no reason. And the music thatwe were in local we worked local politics.
We worked on on the local campaignsand stuff for in Longlunt and Chris
started a radio show to be ableto talk about what was going on in
politics. So and then he wouldbring on air trophic controller coworkers and they
would have it back and forth talkshow. And then Anthony wanted to do
(04:06):
the sports. So when he wentto Metro State, we took him on
a tour of the media department andhe walked in and he goes, I
know how to work all that wayahead of the game. Yeah, so
you made sure everyone knew how well. He's very, very very good at
guitar and stuff. I mean heis. Somebody asked me the other day
about a Rod. We just gotback from a listener trip and somebody asked
(04:29):
about a Rod And I said,if you guys knew half the stuff that
he does behind the scenes, right, because you see the little bit of
us, you know, having aconversation on the air, but he does
so much technical stuff behind the scenesthat I have no idea how to do
this. My industry has zipped pastme since the time I was in his
seat to now. Technology is completelydifferent. I mean when I first got
(04:51):
into radio, we still had cartsthat he had to plug in. They
were like eight track tapes and ridiculous. So what we're doing now and the
stuff he brings to the table isjust amazing. You guys did a really
good job with him. Yeah,with his own show. I taught him
how to edit the wave files,how to upload him for the podcast speed,
how to put it up on theblog, how to spread it out
for everybody and all the feeds,and a lot of this stuff he got
(05:12):
from me because I wrote, Ilove that your parents are basically like we
did everything. We introduced him toit, and like I said, it's
always been the Anthony Show his wholelife. Yes, so it gave him
an outlet, you know, likeWHOA, my good must have driven you
crazy, otherwise you gotta give themout. You would have callers. I
would be why would be Studio B. I called myself Studio B, and
(05:36):
I would screen the calls coming intothe sports show that he would take calls.
