>> 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.
