so it was inverted from 1990 to 1993. And I started sending out tape in 1991. After 18 months there, I was ready for the next stop. And so that was AM 106 in Calgary, and that's C kom in Regina, and that is Peterborough, and that's Vancouver and you know just kept in touch and started to reach out and get feedback from people that's sending it to, I can't remember but Edmonton sent sending tapes out over and over and over again for 18 months and not really getting anything and then in the spring of 1993. I went to the Junos on my own dime to do a little what I thought would be like a little broadcast tour because you know when you're at BCIT they they send you up on a bus and you go all the way to Prince George. You meet the radio stations and the TV stations and then you stop at Williams Lake and Cornell and Kamloops and Kelowna and Penticton. And then kind of come back. So you meet you meet all the people in the province who might hire you for a summer gig. And like Well, that was great. I met tons of people so maybe I'll go and I'll I'll do my own little broadcast tour. So I went out to the Junos in 1993 met a bunch of people there Pat Holliday at you know some of the showcases like with the tea party or something like that. And we were a Roger station so I went and watched Tarzan Dan at a do his show and Eaton center, just stanchions kids lined up for his whole show just signing autographs and cat Spencer had Spencer was doing evenings. So like I was just trying to meet people right and I took the train up to Ottawa for the launch of Cool FM there and nothing happened in the spring but then by the summer of 1993 Brad Phillips offered me the chance to come back to Zed and do Whew Saturdays and Sundays the shifts I'm doing now I did Saturday night like the house party with DJ swift and cool and Sunday afternoons and so I was I went from doing my evening show in Vernon to doing weekends on Zed and living back with my mom and dad and Richmond was like to work for Brad Phillips. It's pretty awesome to look at it now because he's he's just retired. I sigh as you know, his back to school season photo on his Facebook page resigned now I'm golfing It feels weird not to be going back to work. But, you know, it was it was like Brad, Brad Phillips and Pat cardinal and Gary Russell had a chance to work with all of them through the years. And just like that's, that's like the LG morning Zoo. Like that's that era of LG radio that I that I grew up listening to, you know, Jeff Rechner doing Dr. Morning zoo, Dean hill in the mornings, and Graham hatch and all them and then how we the Hitman at night and assorted other people, David K. And Kat Stewart and others and sort of work with Brad who was the orchestrator of that was just awesome. He would just do little things to to inspire. We had a little brown paper bag in the control room, and he would hotline you. And if you did a great break, he's like buzz going back a burger. And so like their McDonald's Whopper, whatever. Wendy's coupons in the bag, bagged burger one time we were doing the sticker spotting, I got to do that on Zed. Two, when I started. That wasn't I was just doing weekend. So I got to be the first sticker spotter that we had said, and he didn't think we were being sexy and excited about it enough on the radio. So we had one of our Thursday meetings. And there's 1520 of us in the room. And he's like, who has a sticker on their car, six of us put our hands up. When he just goes around and drops $100 bill on our lap. And everybody else was like, what? And those of us who got one we're like, yes. And he's like, see? See, it's 100 bucks, but look how excited the listeners are now take that and go and do it on the radio. And famously, he would come in and on our whiteboard, right? 10.0 like we were gunning for a 10 Share. Nick, one summer we got up to 12 and a half or 13. And he would constantly remind us that these are the good old days. Like, you know, we we had a huge staff. We had a full time street machine driver back then. You know, other half a dozen ops and we had mix show DJs and swing was a shift and we had a newsroom. Valerie Ambrose was doing our morning news. And so it was yeah, it was it was the good old days. And he you know, he left us to go and do chum in Toronto and then went on to do TV and then came back to chorus for their for his final act. But yeah, it's just to be with somebody who built such legends was was pretty cool.
