The guys filling in have other jobs at The Ticket but are likely chomping at the bit to get behind the microphone. They don't have to pay them anything extra to get them to do that.
I find it hard to believe these guys don't get paid for extra time. It's probably $50-$100/day. I'm sure they are happy to get behind the mic but they aren't going to do it for free because if they say "no, I'm busy" then the station has to pay someone to fill in, no point in doing anything for free.
I thought I remembered Jake talking about his fill in time for the musers was a big part of his annual compensation.... maybe I am not remembering correctly. But that would tell me they definitely get a bump in pay when they fill in.
Yea I seem to recall multiple hosts talking about how filling in has helped to pay extra bills or provide some breathing room.
