So I literally cannot do Sunday morning because I'm somewhere in the South on a Greyhound headed back to town.

So either I give up comedy or I have to get a radio or I have to get an internship at an outside radio station.

So most radio stations in Tallahassee, they didn't have.

They just didn't have scheduling that was favorable.

I was just like, I need something to fit my schedule.

I know beggars can't be choosers, but I can't come here in the middle of the day on a weekday.

I got classes.

I can't come at night because I'm working at Golden Corral.

I'm gone.

The only time I'm free is the ass crack of dawn.

Right.

That's the only time I can make this work.

So it just so happened.

That there was a morning show that I used to listen to every morning when I was getting up and getting ready for school and, you know, whatever.

And it was WVHT Hot 105.7, the breakfast buffet with Van Wilson and William Gilmore.

And so I came up in radio news.

My pops was a radio newsman.

He did news on the fives for four hours straight on the black news station in town.

And then would do reports for the black music station as well on the tens.

And so I knew what radio news was because I sat beside him in the control room every summer for hours, listening to him just read news reports and take calls.
