Primeau & Grose: Behind the Scenes

Maybe it's the musical chair across from me that has various co-hosts, maybe it's the blinding pink shirt I'm wearing, maybe it's having guests in the studio, maybe it's my XL coffee that they forgot to put sugar in, maybe it's the fresh air at a McHappy Day Remote or maybe it's just having the responsibility of running the board for the last week and a half but I'm exhausted. As I prepare to go on the air again today (This time with J'Lyn Nye) I find myself struggling to build up some energy for it.

I have the weekend off. I wasn't supposed to have it off but a small screw up with my agent caused a contract not to get signed and a magician to get hired in my place so I have a glorious 2 whole days to sleep in and spend with family. Before joining CHED I didn't understand the value of the weekend. It was, for me, a time to work and make money. I now see it for what it is to 99% of the population... an opportunity to recharge my batteries and get ready for another week at "the job."

Primeau will be back on Monday and, as exhausting as that can be, all I have to do is walk through that studio door by 3:06 and take my seat far away from this board. It's draining to think that the entire direction of the show is on my shoulders. I often say "comedy is not as easy as it looks" but I have to tell you... either is radio. It's mentally exhausting.
