And he's like, I'm not giving you Thursday, Friday off so you can come do sports.
I said, what if I do it on my own time?
He's like, you're going to work seven days a week for $19,000?
I said, oh, we'll do it for a month.
Let me try it for a month.
And what was he going to say?
I was offering to do something for free.
I knew he was never going to watch the thing, so I could do it for as long as I needed or wanted to.
I go, just let me try.
If I'm bad, you pull me off the air.
And if I hate it, I'll stop doing it.
So he let me and I did it for a year and a half.
I worked seven days a week, night side during the week, mornings on weekend mornings.
And still it got to the end of the contract.
And still I had nothing.
I had an agent who was sending tapes out, nothing, nothing, nothing.
So this little TV station came to me and said, okay, your contract's up.
You're going to sign this extension.
You're going to stop doing sports, no anchoring and no outs in two years.
I mean, it was ridiculous.
