Greetings fellow travellers, it’s Gord at the controls today. I have to thank everyone for your emails asking how come I have to stay at home while the rest of the Morning Show gets to go to the Bahamas.
Here is the real “behind the scenes story”. It’s not easy being a wanted man in 34 states and most of Mexico. I’m joking, the reason simply is that I am the man in charge of everything you hear on your radio.
The music, the commercials, the station jingles and Mary Ellen’s news and Halina’s traffic reports. I ultimately have control of Erin and Mike’s microphones ( I let them turn their own mics on and off ) 
Let’s see…oh! All the Wiseguys sound effects and music you hear.
I clean and inspect the Random Name Generator to make sure she’s up to the latest in design and performance. I listen and record your Feel Good Favourites, all the Ticket Blitz sound effects and music.
I make sure every half hour is as close to being on time with the news as possible. I record all the clips from Oprah, movies and TV shows that we may play during the morning.
After listing all that, it’s far easier to just stay behind and run the show they way it has been running for 2 years now. Also the comfortable feel of the show between Erin, Mike, The General and I is very hard to let Joe the temp guy step into.
This next part is the coolest part of the mornings.
We can communicate a thought between the 4 of us with just a look, or hand signals. That kind of unspoken language becomes very important when I can’t see them on the beach, also very hard for Joe the temp to take over.
This however takes a long time to say, so I usually say I hate to fly and that’s why I stay home, alone.
