This hour of Overdrive is powered by FanDuel. FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.
Alright, here we go, Overdrive, off and running, TSN 1050 on the TSN app, your home smart speaker, up on TSN 5, up on YouTube Live, Brian Hayes, Dave Feschuk, and Dave Naylor in here. Wow, we got Dave Naylor in here. We have not had Dave Naylor in here in a long time. It's great to see you.
I used to know this place from four to seven very well.
Absolutely. This is the studio that Naylor built. That's right. That's what people have been saying for a long time. Or prepped. Or prepped. He definitely prepared it very well. It's still technically intact, although there are some technical issues from time to time. Quirks. Every once in a while, something comes up, and I still blame you, Dave. Something goes wrong. Nailer used to screw around with this thing all the time. What are you guys, eight years? We've been ten years in the afternoon.
Ten years now in the afternoon.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, because I went for you. You were doing mornings.
Yeah, I know it's been eight years. You try to forget that. Eight years. Every once in a while you forget that. The 315 alarm still hung.
Yeah, the mornings, they're a grind. You do those every once in a while.
Once in a while. Did you ever do a morning ride?
I have never done it. No. I've been in the industry now 18 or 19 years. I've never done a morning shift.
Ever. I struggle with it. There would be one or two nights a week that I would be seeing 130. Yeah. And there were probably, in the time I did it, a year and a half, there were probably five times I didn't sleep at all. And you just walk in and you just say to the producer, I didn't sleep last night. We'll find a way. We'll find a way. You get the adrenaline going once you get on the air a little bit. A couple nights I slept here. I don't know if I get in trouble with HR for saying that. I did not know that.
Well, didn't you used to have your little cubby with your little quilt and your pillow?
No, I did because sometimes I was here doing a hit on the late sports center. or the CFL draft here or something like that. And I'm like, I'm not leaving here at 11.15 to get home at 12. I like that idea. As Dave said, I had a little cubby, kept a comforter and a pillow, and I just, at 12 o'clock, marched down to the end there. Set the alarm for four and go to sleep.
I think, why not? I mean, how could anyone complain about that? You're a trooper. They could have been reasonable and said, maybe don't work the night before or take the next day off. But you're a grinder and you're working and you used to do that. Radio has changed a lot, clearly, since all of us have been in the industry. You know, there was a time not long ago where every market, basically the biggest personality and biggest party animal was whoever the radio guy was in the mornings.
Yeah.
Like you were at a rock station in Red Deer. The morning guy was welcoming some band into town and partying all night and then was on the air like four hours later. And that was just kind of the way it went, right? Like radio stations, you had the morning show was... That drove basically everything. Whoever that was, the morning...
How did the hosts reminisce about early‑morning radio shifts and their impact on personal life?
Host, morning zoo, operator, whatever it happened to be. That guy was a man about town. That is taxing when your life and your work are not in sync. Yeah, especially if it's like booze involved at night and you're going out and it's like, hey, we got events here, events there, we're representing the station. And the expectation is you got to be on the air the next morning. I got to tell this old dog story.
So the very first week I was doing morning radio because you guys went to afternoons, I went to mornings. I'm getting up at 3.15, did it five days in a row. And Friday night, I'm ready to blow off some steam, going downtown, meeting some friends. And I'll never forget this. I'm walking up the subway stairs. told the sidewalk and as soon as i get up my phone rings and it's a is only and i answer the phone and i what's up and he says
