at Chicago area hospitals.

So, you know, I'm really proud that there's no overhead so that every dollar spent gets to go to the cause.

Hey man, this is what I look like on the good days.

At the end of it, it's kind of ugly, man.

You guys got such nice HD cameras there at the score, but I don't have my wardrobe stylist and my makeup team here from Fox for it.

So yeah, I look pretty haggard at the end of it.

The 24-hour part is...

You know, it's a little bit of a stunt.

And, you know, you guys have known me long enough and know my radio history.

I like a good stunt.

But it draws attention to it.

But it also really allows for... I mean, we take...

Dozens and dozens and dozens of calls.

Just people telling their story.

Who are they remembering?

Who are they honoring?

Who are they donating for?

You know, and so people crying on the air, people making us cry.

um so the it's very emotional it's very draining uh part of me wishes it could start at 7 a.m but i don't want to disrupt molly at all we want to do it at the start of a show instead of in the middle of one because i always wake up at like 6 a.m before it because i have so much nervous energy going into it so i remember last year by the time i got back to my mom's house to to crash in the middle of the day i'd been up for like 31 hours by the time i got to her house and i was like oh my god

I'm just like spinning.
