I write about this a little bit in Kobe and Payne chapter later in the book.
Like Payne, I had my own reckoning.
I was partying hard on the road.
I thought that's the way you did it.
You ran hard at night and then you got after it during the day.
That's what all the great journalists did, told their best stories at the bar.
But what I learned the hard way is that you can blow it.
If you're not careful on the road, bottles of wine are popping every night at dinner.
And, you know, you get off the air in our case on a live front.
If you get off at 10 o'clock, you get when you're finished work, whatever it is that you do, you're a lawyer, you're an accountant, you're a plumber.
You don't go to bed right away.
You're still amped up.
So there was always it was always an opportunity to run.
And we all had plenty of energy when we were younger.
I was.
i was fortunate that uh i got that wake-up call you know it was probably early 2000s and i had to make a you know a decision what do i want to do out here what do i want to be do i want to be the guy hanging around the bar when i'm 50 uh saying i you know i used to or i could have i should have uh or do i want to have a long run in the business and uh so you know i made made that that hard choice and uh
Because if you run hard late at night out here, you absolutely get run over early in the morning.
And the hours kept expanding out here.
You know, as media just has grown in different ways, they never do turn the spigots off.
It isn't so much nervousness.
