Who's the guy?

Gary Smith.

Gary Smith, who's probably...

Probably the best takeout sports writer, takeout long-form storyteller, I don't know, the last 40 years?

But he didn't suffer it.

I mean, I've listened to you.

You asked him.

He didn't suffer it.

He did not suffer it.

Yeah, no, I'm with you.

I don't want you to write a book either because that means I'm going to get phone calls at 3 in the morning and I'm going to be proofreading again.

Um, again, I think in the early stages, I really thought to myself, I, I'm not good enough and I don't know how good I can get at this.

So I think that there was that.

And now I'm talking about being a baseball radio guy.

I just, I just didn't, it didn't come as naturally, you know?

So, so, you know, you, you focus on the knowledge, et cetera, but when a play is happening in front of you, there's different, um,

You know, there are different things and there's timing and there's flow and all the knowledge in the world and the ability to tell the story if the timing and the flow isn't on point.

And if you're not describing what you see in a really good way, then, you know, the rest of it's kind of moot.

So.

I, yeah, it was just, I wish I could tell you when it started to feel like I got this.
