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.

But this week, one of my favorite things that's been happening is that we do an interview.

We get done with the interview.

Zaz sends the subject on.

All right, thanks a lot.

That was David Sampson.
