Season 5, Ep. 12
•
Ever wondered just what goes on in the Wish Bus, or even on Wish 107.5? Stan is pulling back the curtain with the help of his guest, Rex Trinidad, who goes on air for Wish 107.5 as DJ Adam! Rex candidly shares how he tried out for TV and radio about 50 times before he got his job on Wish, and how being part of this station has given him his dream career. He also describes the Wish Bus in detail and dishes the scoop on why everything sounds so clear and crisp, even when they're inside a (supposedly) moving vehicle! Strap in because all of Rex's stories (and more) are on deck!
