Speaker 1 (00:00):
We thought we would do this jobs that rock stars
had before they were rock stars. Now, to put it
in perspective, we certainly would never call ourselves rock stars.
We're just radio DJs. But like before I was a
radio DJ, I was the PA announcer for a flea
market in New Jersey, so awesome. I worked at Burger
(00:21):
King on specialty board.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And I worked at Pizza Hut as a host. Pizza
Hut had hosts back in the day. They day didn't
just seat yourself.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I think they created that position for him once they
realized as nothing else.

many in your party?
Speaker 2 (00:40):

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Let me it's getting a little hectic up here. Let
me see what I can do for you. And your
party is six. I got a table for two. We
had the pizza bar going today. But let me see
what I can do. It's a little nutty here on
the Saturday afternoon at Pizza Hut. Anyway, that was formative, Allison.
Before you were in radio, I was a server.
