b'Tommy McFly on what teachers should do with kids who talk non-stop in the classroom -\\n\\n"The kid in the class who the teacher always says, "Stop talking." They need to be in speech and debate, because you get to channel your argument. You get to channel your ability to stand in front of the crowd where they actually encourage you to be in front of the crowd in a classroom making a ruckus."\\n\\nTommy McFly - Radio Host 94.7 Fresh FM - Weekdays 6 - 10 A.M.\\n\\nA Ockershausen:\\tI\'m so delighted to have a very special, young guest. We haven\'t had many, Tommy. Thank God for you. The Washington Post says our next guest is a \\u201clocal Ryan Seacrest\\u201d. That\'s quite a tribute when the paper says that. Janice says he is cute, sweet, very high energy, and by all accounts the future of modern radio. I applaud that. Doing it the old fashioned way, making list as a member of his radio family, one at a time, Tommy McFly is doing it right. Tommy, welcome to Our Town, and welcome back to your old home at WMAL Q107 Studios.\\nTommy McFly:\\tAbsolutely. It\'s so great to be back here today. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tNow you came back as a major star. When you left there, you were just starting to ...\\nTommy McFly:\\tI was a nobody. They threw me out of here. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tNow, you were never nobody. When you worked with Jack Donovan, you were so popular and still are. The best part that I found out about you Tommy, and I didn\'t know much because ... I\'m being honest with you. I\'m not a listener, because I don\'t even know what Fresh is anymore. I know what callers are. Somebody said, "He\'s Fresh." I don\'t know what Fresh is. I don\'t know when that happened. Five years ago?\\nTommy McFly:\\tAbout six years ago, yeah. Fresh re-launched as sort of a contemporary pop station. We play songs from Katy Perry and Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. All your favorites, Andy. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tThey are favorite, but they\'re all over the country. Right? There\'s a Fresh in every market.\\nTommy McFly:\\tThere\'s a couple Fresh. CBS Radio has ... Right now there are two Fresh left. There\'s a Fresh in New York and a Fresh in D.C.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tOkay. The rest of them, they changed the formatting. \\nTommy McFly:\\tAt one point, we had three. There was as Chicago Fresh. Absolutely. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tYou have three people in your cast too. That number three keeps popping up. \\nTommy McFly:\\tI do. I work with my two best friends, Kelly Collis and Jen Richer.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tHow lucky can you be? \\nTommy McFly:\\tHonest to goodness, having the opportunity six years ago to start a morning show in a major city like Washington-\\nA Ockershausen:\\tWow!\\nTommy McFly:\\tIn a city that we all love. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tCapital of the world.\\nTommy McFly:\\tAbsolutely. I completely agree that this city is more important than New York and more important than Los Angeles by far. To be able to do it here for a great company that believed in us and let us. They put me who was a yelling night jock and my sarcastic, recently divorced neighbor who lived down the street and my friend who came from news, and let us do a morning show in Washington. It was an unbelievable opportunity. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tWow!\\nTommy McFly:\\tIt\'s funny. Kelly, my co-host, says that sometimes it\'s better to be lucky than good. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tNo question about that. \\nTommy McFly:\\tWe hit the lucky streak on that one for sure. We for six years-\\nA Ockershausen:\\tLuck follows hard work, which to me is speed. Your hard work was the luck, come from your hard work.\\nTommy McFly:\\tWell, thank you very much. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tIt\'s true. It\'s true in life. The harder you work, the luckier you\'ll get. \\nTommy McFly:\\tWe always say that we are not the funniest or best looking show, but we will outwork you every day of the week. \\nA Ockershausen:\\tTommy, you do it in so many ways. Now, let\'s talk about the original McFly. When you were a child, you got involved in radio. What is your hometown? Is it Scranton? \\nTommy McFly:\\tIt\'s Scranton,'
