I went to night school and summer school, I made that whole year up and I actually graduated on time. Also, I got a part-time job at the radio station.

So at 16 I got a job at the local radio station. And I was working after school and weekends. I did the news; I did everything. I did - played records.

I grew up on a farm where we had one radio station and it was all country.

I've shaken hands with every radio station, from Honduras to Ryan Seacrest's.

Every time I went on the radio, I would take the crummiest radio station, the station that was like a toilet bowl. I would go on there and build up the ratings, so you couldn't do any worse.

It's peculiar how this worked out. I was doing an interview while I still worked at WAOL (radio station) and I wrote down his (Rogers) number for the Turkey hot line. I kept the number and called the (Briggs and Stratton) hot line from home with questions on how to get rid of moles. It was in late May when I called. A few weeks later my wife (Janet) received a call from someone that said we won a free lawn mower. I really didn't know what to think.
