You had to fight for Ron McGill even more because when we move time slots, they're like, hey, you play douche or no douche. You can't do douche or no douche here in this time slot. A lot of things from how we did the show. And you asked a very good question about the newsy aspects of the show. How did that change your process?

But quickly, I just want to talk to you real quick as if Dan's not here. This was a time in the show where you knew that if you did something that sidetracked the show, got us off of a good vibe, you'd feel it. You could cut the tension with a knife during breaks.

clearly not happy part of us pushing for this growth allowed for dan to blame somebody else for that added pressure and we felt that and we knew that that was a cause to do in business for our decision to push so hard yeah we knew that occasionally during a break when dan is frustrated why'd you guys make me do this it was something that we heard occasionally it would cut like a knife but we knew that that was going to be coming our way with it i said it out loud huh often

Often articulated. I don't think Sue Gatz and I have ever directly communicated. Correct. as much as we did during that area because we genuinely loved you. And I think both of us knew that there was more going on there. It was clear to us that a lot of things were happening in your life. This was a time of change and your relationship with work was changing and you were always a vibes guy.

If what you were doing wasn't feeling good to you and understandably so, because at this point you're doing it for 10 years. Why is the thing that I've always felt good for 10 years and all of a sudden not feeling good, even though when this is a time that I should be enjoying the rewards. Right. So we were racking our brains over how do we fix this?

And also sometimes vent to one another because we knew that we had a lot of displaced rage. No question. We probably individually and collectively occasionally dropped the ball and had reasons for you to come down on us professionally.

But what was happening was a series of things that we didn't have control over that would often just manifest with you saying, can't believe you guys made me do this.

And we were out of answers. Like nothing was really working. And naturally, and I understand like this isn't truly fair. I'm just doing this for the audience. Dan's already lived through this because we've tried to pick up the pieces after that and figure out what happened there. And we've since addressed it. But during this time, naturally Dan's stressed. I'm a huge ball of stress.
