I'm still I get to do this for the most part, trying to appreciate the next two and a half years of doing this live radio and TV show.
I really don't.
I really don't know, other than middle child.
I mean, my mom, to her deathbed, thought I was just lucky.
She wouldn't say that I was great.
She would just say, you were lucky.
You're lucky.
And so in your mind, you're like, God.
Am I?
Which it's not true, but I think I was always trying to impress my mom.
Sometimes you try to impress the people who don't matter to you.
But my mom, of course, did.
And then I realized no matter what I did, I'm handing out the Super Bowl trophy.
And I called home, called and talked to her.
She said, who picked out your tie?
And I went, damn, I just handed out the Super Bowl trophy.
But that's the kind of family that I grew up in.
In a lot of ways, they kept me grounded.
Nobody was put on a pedestal.
Even now, I was always looking for some kind of acknowledgement, recognition, and encouragement.
