So I'm leaving ESPN, and then they said, you can't do TV for six months.

They wouldn't let me do the Olympics.

And I was like, oh boy, game on.

Game on.

So I started doing some radio.

We were doing it in my attic.

out of my house for three years.

But it was maybe the best three years I've had in the business because it brought us all together literally in my attic every single morning.

My wife's getting kids out to school in her bathrobe and I got Fritzie and Seton and Paulie going up the back stairs and you're doing a national radio show and forever indebted.

that those guys took a chance because they were, you know, Fritzie was established at the mothership and Seton was.

Paulie was working for Tony Stewart as a producer on his radio show.

But I'm asking them to take a leap of faith.

And I wouldn't have done that if I was in their situation, but they, you know, they did it.

And I mean, that's the true, I'm going to take, you know, Butch Cassidy, Sundance kid, I'm going to jump off the cliff and, and they did it.

And they're still with me all these years.

I have great admiration for writers, great writers on Deadline Writers, columnist, guys who are writing after a game, an event.

And I guess I could.

I mean, I write columns every day live on radio.

I mean, we do columns every single day.

But it was my way of complimenting you that you can have an idea, have a start, middle, and an end.
