And I'm thinking, what in the Lord, you know, what's going on?

So I get into this limousine and I've got a stack of files.

that are, if you can't see me right now, I'm showing a stack of files that are over a foot thick and I'm, I'm an academic, I'm a technical guy and I've been reading and reading and everything I could consume.

And so when I finally show up at the studio, um, the producer looks at me, looks at the stack of papers and she says, you realize this hits only 10 minutes.

Yeah.

I was like, I don't know what to do.

And I got the best piece of advice on the first day.

Now, that doesn't happen very often, I know.

The reporter that was working on the case said,

he looked at me and we were going to sit at one of these big false desk things that they have that look real space age.

And he said, I can tell you're nervous.

And he said, you're a professor, right?

I said, well, yeah, I am.

He looks at me and he says, teach me.

And so from that moment on, Bubba,

Anytime that I go on air, that's what I keep in my mind.

You're educating, yeah.

Yeah, and it helps me stay within the boundaries of where my expertise rests as opposed to going far afield.

And I was nervous.

I was sweating like a hog, you know, and I had all these papers laid out in front of me and whatnot.
