And I would say, I want to be the Knicks announcer. And then our friends around us would laugh and say, you're two fools. There's no way that's going to happen. So, yes, in my college days, that would have been the dream job. Never thought it was going to happen. You know, I grew up listening to Marv and thought it would just be the coolest job.

Oh, both. And it's every game. And if any play-by-play guy that tells you he's not doing that, they're lying to you. For me, one of the great things, like watching the playoffs off nights. Turner has usually Monday through Thursday during the playoffs. So I'm home watching the games. We have the weekends.

And I learn stuff from other guys, not only information, but how they handle certain situations. And to me, it's one of the great things. I think right now, and I know I'm probably not objective here, I think there are so many great play-by-play voices in our industry. And not just the basketball, but just like during the NBA playoffs, it's a treat to watch and learn from some of them.

Oh, sure. It's much harder to do radio play-by-play than TV play-by-play. There are other challenges in TV. You have to work more with your analysts. You hear more in your ear from producers and directors. But radio, you really do have to paint the picture. And And my first five years doing the NBA was strictly radio.
