Right. And I mean, I... Dan and Keith made SportsCenter something different. They took it to a different place, I think. Berman's the godfather. Bob Lee as well, obviously. But then Dan and Keith took it to a thing where it was different. And then Stuart and Rich were a big-time team. They had a lot of us that kind of worked together. And you, you team up with different people at different times.

But then the idea was if you could create, you know, people that work together quite a bit, then you create chemistry, which makes a ton of sense, right? Like you become like an old line. There's this energy and Hey, I could slide out the tackle if I need to, but if we can get some reps together, we can make this a thing. And so honestly, I mean, and it's still like that and it's different.

I'm down in DC and I'm not in a cubicle and you know, sitting, next to Rich or Stuart or whomever back in the day. But it's the same idea. I'm going to go in and watch games and then I do a show. It's a joke. My dad worked for a plumbing company. I always say this. He wore boots to work. I wear Ferragamo's and a little light dusting of powder on the head. I mean, that's what I wear to work.

And I just watch games all night. It's absurd. And so I think what the genius of those ads kind of captured was that. People are like, this is what it's like? Well, yeah. I'm not actually sitting in LeBron's chair in a throne, but it's like that. And the cool thing about that spot is it's – and he was on me recently. It's like still a joke that we go back to. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like I saw when he was on with you about, you know, he's about when he, this fuckery won't continue. And then now he's 40 and he's like, when I'm 50, like, I mean, I saw him reference that, like the idea that, holy smokes, like he's still doing this at that age. He was a baby when he did that ad with me. And so now we can kind of still reference it.

And, you know, I got a note from his folks, like, you know, clutch fuck, like I was texting back and forth with Rich Paul about, I said, you know, what's cool is like, We've both been doing this for 20 some odd years and can still kind of do it. I'm not comparing myself as an anchor to LeBron James. But we're still in that respective place and we can still play at a certain level.
