And so we were talking about the effects of –
kind of celebrity and addiction and all these things.
To this day, probably the best podcast episode I've ever done up until the one where I won a Pulitzer Prize.
The Haunted Hotel one was great too.
The Haunted Hotel one was great.
Then the ESPN pulled the episode off the site.
15 minutes after it was on.
And we were like, why?
They said, well, because you guys made light of alcoholism.
I said, no, we didn't make light of it.
We were trying to illustrate how pervasive it is, not only with players, but with staffers, with the media, everyone around sports, pretty much, has a substance abuse problem by the definition of, you know, the medical definition.
Well, guess what happened an hour after they pulled that episode down?
What?
Lamar Odom hospitalized on his deathbed.
Had they kept it up, we would have had probably a crazy relevant, greatly done episode with two future Pulitzer Prize winners, but ESPN, in their imminent wisdom, of course, dropped the ball.
That's right.
I could have been a star, I say.
Oh, but also I love this week.
You know, it's Thursday.
We're not done with the week.
