>> Hey, it's the Tony Rose Morning Show, Sam 100.7, hanging out in the studio today with our friends from CandidCareer.com. Hello. Hello. Hello, people. Okay. All right, you ready? You ready to do this? Where's my motivation? I'm Tony Rose. I do the morning show on Sam 100.7 in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I've been in radio for 12 years now. >> Any event, moment, guests stand out in your mind as kind of the highlight of your time so far? >> Yeah, well, I guess for me, from a fan side, I got -- I'm a big fan of Morgan Spurlock in the movie field area and the documentary field, and I got to have him on, so I was really geeked out about that. And I'm also a big fitness guy so I've, you know, had on the creator of the South Beach Diet, which is something I'm totally into. Those are some of the ones I geek out about. From a professional standpoint, you know, getting a chance to interview, you know, former sitting presidents and having the chance to interview Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter both -- that was really cool, man. You know, [Imitating Bill Clinton] "hi, this is Bill Clinton and you're listening to Tony Rose. Rock on." [Voice Imitation Ends] I can just imagine that, like when he does the hip hop stations, you know, [Imitating Bill Clinton] "I'm jammin' with 101, The Beat, man." [Voice Imitation Ends] So, they said you cannot have Bill Clinton cut station IDs for you, that he listens to your station, which I always thought that was really funny. I had some guy in a secret service outfit telling me that. So, but it's fun, though. It's a cool job. It's definitely a cool job because one of the big, you know, parodies about Clinton, Bill Clinton, when he was in office, was how he, on Saturday Night Live, used to -- how he would eat. He loved food. He loved to eat. And he was eating breakfast during the interview. So you could hear in the background, like sometimes he'd be chewing and he'd be answering a question while chewing something. I'm like, you are >> It's you. >> a Saturday Night Live parody right now. Well, my day starts at four a.m. That's what time I get rolling, Monday through Friday. And I'm on the air by six a.m. My morning show is a three-hour show, so by nine a.m. I'm off the air and that's when my day starts making commercials. I do a lot of public appearances. Part of our job is being out in the community and I've actually gotten to have a very loyal community following as well. So I may, after my nine a.m. show ends, I may be anywhere from emceeing an event at a basketball or football game to appearing in a school for a school assembly. It just depends on where the day takes us, and doing interviews and meeting with clients and stuff. So it's a long day. It ends up being a 10-hour day, usually, after it's all said and done.
