The Week 10 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers could set up as a battle of legendary quarterbacks. Wade would rise at midnight to prepare for his 5 a. Colleagues in the field recognized Mr. Don looks at things as cut and dried, black and white, right and wrong; I tend to see both sides of the issue.
It is just our natures, and it is a good balance for the show. Roma: Well, we did more playing around on the air than we did playing records. It was then that the readings from The Red Book started.
Turnipseedall of whom lived in his head. Neither one of us knew that we could do talk-radio. We just evolved into it. Then the station format followed our lead. Al: One further question about the Don Wade and Roma Show: how do you handle all the conflict and strongly held opinions of the listeners or Don?
You put yourself on the line for hours--everyday. Doesn't the buffeting of opposing opinions wear on you? Roma: Not ordinarily. People give you things all the time, but you don't have to accept their gifts--their opinions. You can ponder their opinions, but you don't have to accept or defend anything. It is only if you attach your ego to that opposing opinion. If you are just hearing it, you aren't obligated to accept it.
Al: You can blow off someone who gets really very angry with you without it leaving any residual gunk with you after they hang up? Roma: Our producers marvel at this ability.
They say my emotions rarely get hooked. However, if the listener gets in there and snags my ego, then I respond by verbally grabbing them by the collar and telling them what I think. That always surprises people because it rarely happens.
If my ego doesn't get hooked, then differing opinions don't bother me at all. Does that make any sense? Al: I understand what you are saying about getting your ego enmeshed in a listener's issue. However, what about differing opinions between you and Don?
How do you handle an off-the-air relationship with someone with whom you often differ on the air? And you seem to be able to handle disagreement everyday for hours. Isn't that emotionally tiring? I can see how you can blow-off some opinionated listener. But how do you deal with the divergent opinions of someone close to you?
Roma: That's a good question. It has to do with the values and balance that each of us provides for the other. Maybe, it is because of the wonderful role models that my parents were. My father was a real dynamo and a Baptist preacher. He was really strong, really opinionated, and a really good person. My mother was brilliant and sensitive, and she adored my father. It only hit the fan when he would cross over into her territory, and it did on occasion--but not often. They both respected each other.
He worshipped the ground that she walked on. She is brilliant and beautiful, and he didn't know why she married him. She felt the same way about him. You need the other person to form a whole. The Bible is right--you become one. They were completely separate entities, yet they formed a whole. They could be who they were because of the other person.
It gives you the freedom to be who you are. They were a great team. In the same way, being with Don gives me the freedom to be me. When I first met Don, I didn't know that he was a political conservative.
I used to march and protest. I didn't know anything about his politics, but I did know that he is a good, good person. All this political stuff is unreal. He is letting something unreal get to him. It's like time. The turntable was on the second floor. So if you slammed the front door when you walked in, the record would skip. I made 50 cents an hour, and I played religious tapes on Sunday morning, followed by a live gospel show in the studio — they had an actual studio setup — and I had to engineer that.
Then we played some various other medical shows and what have you.
