Laughing Frog: (lips the words) Are we on the air yet?

Producer: (nods head yes)

Laughing Frog: Welcome to our new morning show! I'm Frog, and I'd like to introduce my son Tadpole. We call him Tad for short. He's doing an internship here over January at the station. Tad, will you step on over and say hello to everyone out there?

Producer: (waves Tad into the studio, and points to the mike)

Laughing Frog: (motions Tad over to the mike)

Tad: Um, hi there. I'm Tad. I'm just a college kid on January break doing an internship. My dad runs this show. I'm just here for a little while. (Tad steps back away from the mike)

Laughing Frog: Thank you, Tad. Doesn't he have a lovely deep radio announcer's voice? Gotta love that baritone. And now we'll take some calls from the audience.

Producer: (signals that the phone is lit up like a Macy's Christmas display, and gives three fingers)

Laughing Frog: Line three, you're on. What's your name?

Line 3 Guy: Frogman, I loved you when you were on KWOK 109.3, and I love you now, man. Oh, I'm Chris from Islip. And I really like Tad too. He sounds like a cool dude.

Laughing Frog: Thanks. I like him, but I'm really biased. You want to pay for the rest of his college? No? I figured. Next--on line 2. Who is this?

Line 2 Guy: This is Lenny from Tenafly. What were you thinking bringing your kid on the air like that? He has no on-air personality.

Laughing Frog: Lenny, if he were your kid, wouldn't you want him to at least say "hi?" He's doing an internship. He's not a seasoned on-air personality. Were you expecting Howard Stern? He's mostly a gofer around here.

Line 2 guy: Okay, I guess.

Laughing Frog: And now we have to go to a commercial break.
