IN THEIR

Confessions of two morning people

What is a routine day like for you two?: Dean: ‘'The alarm goes off at
4:20 a.m. We both head to the bathroom,..thank God we have two
sinks. By 4:40 a.m. we're in the kitchen finishing a bow! uf cereal. By
4:50 a.m. we're in the car and we're here by 5 a.m.

“Sam goes to her little traffic post and starts reading newspapers. 1
go upstairs and | read three newspapers. We do a lot of typing, bits
about what we’re going to talk about. That quickly eats up an hour.
Graham is phoning the weather office, Merv is doing his news, Coach is
doing his sports and before you know it, it’s six o'clock and we're on
the air.

“From 4:20 a.m. to 6 a.m., time flies and from 6 a.m. to 10. a.m. it
really, really flies. It’s the quickest five or six hours of our life.

“The show is off the air at 10 a.m., but then we go back upstairs into
the Zoo room and start writing and talk about what we're going to do
the next day. We normally don’t leave here until at least noon.

“We try to go to sleep at eight o’clock but it's really tough. We miss
ali the good stuff on TV and we don’t get out very much. When you get
a job like this, you basically say goodbye to your friends.

“You find that you're walking around in a daze a lot, but you sure
wake up when you go on the air.”’

Is it hard to get that energy tevel going so early in the morning?: ‘‘No
it’s not, It’s just the way it’s been for five years. It’s something you just
do, whether or not you’re feeling under the weather, you just kind of
do it. You can’t fake it. It’s just a switch you flip in your brain and you
become happy.”’

What do you do to relax?: ‘‘We do a lot of reading. We watch a lot of
television, news and other informative programs that are going to help
us out with the show. A lot of people are able to quit at five and leave
it all behind, but with this job you really can’t get away from it.”

Do yov fisten to the other radio stations?: ‘“Not very often. We have a
pretty good idea of what everyone else is doing. As far as we’re con-
cerned, there really is no competition. What we’re doing is unique, and
why should we be concerned about what they’re doing? We’re doing the
best job that we possibly can do.”’

AFFLUENCE & INFLUENCE

WORDS

Work means stress

From page 18
the show.

“There were growing pains and
consequently, with all these people
that Dean was not as familiar with
as { was, the frustration level hit
high and the first person he would
yell at would be me,’ says
Samantha.

Samantha has been featured in
Canadian Airline spots and
Money’s Mushrooms commercials.
She has also appeared on such hit
television shows as Wiseguy, 21
Jump Street and J.J. Starbuck.

Adds Dean, ‘She was also in a
movie called the Experts, which
you can rent.”

“But i can't find me in it,”
Samantha tells her husband.

‘“Well we didn’: get that far.
It's such a terrible movie that we
haven’t watched it all,’’ replies
Dean.

it’s 8:06 a.m., and Dean is des-
perately trying to find out if Led
Zeppelin rocker Jimmy Page is
having a birthday today.

““Yes or no,’’ he screams to his
wife.

Samantha comes running out of
the news room and shouts back
“*Yest"”

She then turns to the newspaper
reporter, smiles and says: ‘‘Can
you believe this place?”’
