We become Entercom employees for five business days before we become... And we can't have a lapse in our coverage. So we had to go through the entire onboarding process. There was no way. I'm like, this is so annoying. We had to do all the HR training, all of that. And then five days later, we become Disney employees. So we're about to change from...

Charlie wasn't around with us for very long because with that move to Ride Home and ESPNU, Charlie, ever the climber, took this opportunity to move to the studio that the show was getting produced out of, which was Washington, D.C. And once you get Charlie around those executives in D.C. around Ride Home, you know that his career is going to go a certain way.

So Lorenzo comes aboard and even though the support system that we had was way slimmer when we moved to ESPNU and we went under Ride Home's umbrella your comfort level really increased because you knew that he was at least across it and could give recommendations and it gave you a peace of mind that you just simply didn't have with the Fusion TV.

If I may, let's put pause on that because we didn't just go straight to mid days. We had one bit of training with a prize piece of radio real estate that gave us all the kind of data that would put a little suspicion into us because Mike and Mike go on vacation. They ask us to replace Mike and Mike and we're working with a totally different team. This is a production that is based out of Bristol.

We're in our fusion studios. And for me, it was a nightmare. filling in for Mike and Mike. And there was one big technical mishap that happened on this show. We, at this time, were so reliant on off-mic communication. I would constantly be in Dan's headphones because of the physical disconnect to the main production studio that was in another room. So we were... heavy in each other's headphones.

They set the mics because it made it easier to produce for them in Bristol to on all the time. So I was catching word from our diehard audience on social media, hey, we can hear what you're saying. And that was never communicated to me.

And while we didn't say anything that got us in trouble, I wanted people to be alert over at ESPN that, hey, you're messing with our livelihoods here when you can't communicate with that. And at the time, I'm an intercom employee. I'm about to be an ESPN employee. This is my one last opportunity to say something and not really have repercussions to me professionally.

Probably took it too far, but this was the biggest argument that I had with Amanda Gifford over at ESPN, where I really turned it on extra. Again, me being angry, me not having the life experience, me not taking HR with ESPN. I'm raising my voice to my superior here because you cannot mess with my guys' future like that.
