- During an interview, Rob recalls his barely-remembered first meeting with Alan Brady at the tail end of a stay-awake marathon for his disc-jockey job.
- Rob and Laura are being interviewed for a magazine article primarily about Rob's professional life. The reporter, Mr. Waring, becomes more fascinated when Rob describes his job interview with Alan as "there but not really there." The story: At the time, Rob was working as a disc jockey for WOFF radio in Danville, the number two station in a two-station market. To move them to number one, station manager William Van Buren wanted Rob to do what many stations in the US were trying to do - break the new 99 hour 50 minute broadcast endurance record set by a Houston DJ. Just as the new record was done, they broadcast from a department store window for the whole world to see Rob in action. Near the end of his record attempt, a disoriented Rob learned that Alan wanted to see him for an interview that evening. Nine hours later, Rob, who needed Laura's help in getting to the interview in Chicago, was even more disoriented as he met with Alan and Mel.—Huggo
- In a flashback told to a reporter, Rob and Laura explain how Rob got his job with the Alan Brady Show. He had been a disc jockey at a radio station, and the manager asked Rob for a publicity stunt: Break the record for the most consecutive hours on the air. The record was 100 hours; after 94 hours, Laura arrived with the news that Alan Brady had requested a personal interview with Rob. Rob refused to leave until he had broken the 100-hour record, and then he and Laura went to Chicago to meet with Alan. Rob can't think straight and can hardly walk for lack of sleep, so Alan is very disappointed. As Rob and Laura explain to the reporter, Alan was very sweet about it after he learned about the situation, and they had another interview the next day.
