Richard Deitch

It is not a phone guy or anything like that.

He really literally does it old school in handwritten lettering on these calendar journals that he's kept for 30, 40 years at this point.

He travels more than 150,000 miles a year.

Um, he does everything, like you said, separately.

So what CBS wants is not necessarily what prime video wants.

And he has to try to keep that very, very separate.

And the interesting thing, this is a trick, and obviously your listeners can use this as well.

You know, he's based in Kansas.

And one of the things he always will use is he uses Midwestern, um, airports like Chicago, um,

As a hub where in the event it gets a little tricky with travel, he always believes that he can get to where he needs to get to if he's in a Chicago or a Detroit as opposed to a smaller airport somewhere where there may be, let's say, you know, like one flight a day.

So that's one of the tricks that he uses is that he's willing to –

He'll sleep overnight in a Chicago, and then at 6 a.m.

or 5 a.m., he figures that if he's getting into a little bit of dicey travel trouble, he'll be able to get the flight to where he needs to to make it.

And then lastly, sometimes things just happen, and the guy has to rent a car.

A couple of months ago, he had to be in Ann Arbor, and I believe he rented a car from Green Bay and drove seven and a half hours from Green Bay to Ann Arbor so he could make a noon tip-off in Ann Arbor.

Yeah, so listen, I'm happy for both Barkley and Vitale.

They've wanted to work together for a long time.

And in television, prior to like, let's say the last five years or so, last three years or so, networks did not want their talent on another network.

They always thought it was like a...

like a significant competitive imbalance.
