With bated breath, we arrived on time at the radio station. All questions were faxed over, thanks to Debbi, and I was keeping fingers crossed that everything would go according to plan. One thing we hadn’t been able to talk about was Joey picking a winner on air, but I thought that would be a cool aspect to his interview, being able to talk to the fan who won tickets to his show.

The producer of the morning show prepped Joey on the ins and outs of the studio and assured him that he didn’t have anything to worry about. Joey seemed pretty easy going once everything seemed to fall into place. He was overly concerned with my injuries, but I shooed him away, letting him know I was fine. A bit of make-up and I was able to cover up the bruise on my cheek. My hand was sore from being trampled on, but nothing was broken, thank goodness. Once he was whisked away, I stayed behind in the producer’s booth with my own headphones so I could hear everything that was going on. Joey looked toward me with a nervous tic. I understand performing live in front of fifty thousand people, but I didn’t exactly understand why he’d be nervous on a radio show. Once the show went live and he was introduced, he seemed to relax. The DJs joked along with each other making Joey feel right at home. I liked this and gave him a thumbs up. They would talk to him for a few, play a song of his, and then go back to the interview.

The banter between the male and female DJs was easygoing and casual. They talked about Joey’s breakout into the music scene, how fast his fan base had grown, and how he seemed to be shuttled into the fame stratosphere in a short amount of time.

He nodded, even though listeners couldn’t see. “Yeah, everything came together really quickly. My first single ‘Adore’ hit the charts really fast and from there, everything just took off.”

I smiled when I remembered the first time we heard his song on the radio. I was at school, and Joey called me screaming. A moment I’d never forget.

The male DJ asked his question. “With fame comes rumors and well, you, Joey have been the target of quite a few. Mind clearing a few of these up?”

I thought that was safe enough. Not digging into his personal life.

Joey smiled easily. “What rumors are you talking about exactly?”

I bit my lip, unsure if that was the best answer he could’ve given, but I’d have to wait it out like everyone listening would.

The female DJ mentioned, “Well it’s been allegedly reported that you have quite an expensive drug habit and that you’ve been in and out of rehab. That you also hook up with various escort agencies during such benders.”

Joey rubbed his chin as he contemplated his answer. “Well, first of all, I’ve dabbled in a few recreational things here and there.
