Summary: AU. Want to know the best thing about being a TV commercial salesman guy?
Word Count: 404
Feedback: Any and all feedback is much welcomed!
A/N: Too much coffee + Greatest Hits (Songs of the Lifeguard) = random drabble. I'm posting before my caffeine fueled courage evaporates! :p
Want to know the best thing about being a TV commercial salesman guy? Apart from the fact that my parents get to say 'my son's on TV', obviously. The best thing, and I'm not lying, is the coffee. No, really. Who needs drugs when you can mainline twelve espressos before noon? The producer thinks that sales are directly correlated to a salesman's perkiness, hence the never ending supply of sweet, sweet Java. I've only been in the studio for an hour but I've already lost count of how many cups I've had. I'm telling you, it's heaven.
The adrenaline of a live broadcast complements caffeine nicely I've found. What are we selling today? Oh joy, another crappy CD set. I'm sure everyone wants to find Songs of the Lifeguard in their stocking this Christmas.
“Sand, water, muscles, gleaming things. It all spells the beach. And yet the beach can be a dangerous place. That's why we have people we call lifeguards, and throughout the ages lifeguards have been sung about in song and in song, because that's the only way you can sing about them.”
My co-presenter kindly decides to interrupt my monologue by laying a hand on my arm.
“A little less coffee next time, huh?”
Oh, Ryan Stiles, Master of Segue and my co-presenter for going on seven years. I'll get him back for that one later. I saw him sneaking an espresso macchiato during 'The Buns of Navarone'.
“You know, there's over 300 songs on this 2 T...TD...I'm having problems speaking today.”
See what I mean? That darn coffee gets us every time. My hands are shaking so bad right now I've gotta keep them clasped together just so the camera doesn't pick it up. I sneak a glance at Ryan and see that his hands are clasped in exactly the same way. Maybe we should think about cutting back a little.
You know what? Earlier, when I said 'I'm not lying', well I was lying. Forget about everything I just said, the coffee's really getting to me. I'll tell you what the best thing about being a TV commercial salesman guy really is. It's getting to work with Ryan Stiles every day. Coffee's great and all, but given a choice between my co-presenter and caffeine? Ryan is the one I want to wake up with every day. This time I'm really not lying. That's just a fact.
