Yes, as long as I'm home. As long as I'm home, 10 a.m. every Sunday. Creature or habit.

On the road this week because I'm leaving Monday, and obviously I couldn't do it Selection Sunday. I got it Thursday, and I said just go a little shorter on the sides because I'm not going to be back in New York for a week from now because I'm going to Dayton, and then we're going up to Cleveland. And those first and second round games are Friday, Sunday.

But I want to tell you guys something if I can backtrack a little bit because I know you guys obviously started out with Humble Beginnings too. That experience – of selling airtime was the most humbling experience that I ever had in my life, because at that time I was making like $13 an hour screening calls and doing reporting at ESPN Radio New York.

I was cold calling for my friend's brother's mortgage company like Glen Gary Glen Ross. That was like what I was living in, just cold calling people out of the Yellow Pages. And I was like making $50 an article writing college basketball for different publications. So I knew, though, I needed like a demo to try and have an opportunity.

So I would like walk up and down New Rochelle going into businesses trying to buy airtime and nobody would buy anything. And I remember talking to a guy in a car dealership and this is like probably 20 years ago. And I said, well, if I do a weekly show, you know, will you buy some airtime? And he goes, well, is Joe Torre a weekly guest? And I didn't know who that was at the time.

And then he was like, he's like, well, Joe Torre is not a weekly guest and I'm not doing it. And it was that moment where I was just like, look, I'm not going to become anything in this business unless I have calluses and I'm getting calluses right now. But that also brought me back to the over the top thing. You know, the world meets nobody halfway.

And to get into it is awesome. Well, another thing too, and you guys know I have a passion for this, but in my 20s, when people that I was close with in New York and friends like that were taking vacations and traveling, I went to AAU tournaments and networked. That's what I would do. I would sit with Dan Hurley when he was at Wagner and build a relationship. I would sit with Bill Self.
