But there's also an audience in my group that likes to hear us doing, you know, bits and shtick and, like, sitting and talking, Robin and I just talking, and I recognize that. So I don't overload the show with a lot of guests. But sometimes we do reach out, like...

It was unbelievable to be sitting in a room with Bruce, and he's doing a concert, basically, and talking about how he creates songs. So, you know, we do reach out, and there are people I just love talking to.

No, it never was about music. You know, it's weird. I play music and I talk over it. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, it's like I can't... Playing, when I got into radio, I was a disc jockey, you know, straight disc jockey. My father would say, first you must learn to be a straight disc jockey, not all that nonsense you do.

So I went on the radio and be like, hi, this is Howard Stern, WR&W, progressive music from the woods. And this is Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. And so, you know, we would do that. And I hated it. I hated it. Even you had to segue, you had to play a record and make sure there was no dead air.

Oh, no, no. I played whatever I wanted. But it was horrible. I mean, it was a lot of pressure. You had to get the commercials lined up.

And I was the worst at it. I was the worst.
