So you go into it knowing that. And I tried to open the door. He just didn't walk through it.

I have talked to LeBron very few times, but when he came on after they beat the Clippers, I got a bunch of notes from people, just industry people, sports people. They're like, it's clear that you guys have this respect. There's a way that an interview subject can show kind of an appreciation.

If they just refer to you by name because they know who you are, and then they give you a depth of an answer that's more than just like, The sort of obvious, yeah, we played great, you know, blob on to the next one. And LeBron's always been really gracious in that way. We haven't done it a lot, but I got from his camp to me, like just an appreciation for how I do my job.

And there's kind of this goofy thing that goes back to the chair that I always bring up because we did a commercial a hundred years ago. So I'd say him. I appreciate the times that we talk where I think he gives you more than just the garden variety. Guys like Jeter, Tiger, LeBron, people that you've known for 20 years, they've been interviewed a billion times.

So when they seem like they're invested and actually present in a way that they're, I don't want to say into it, but that it isn't a chore, that's the best you can hope for if you're me. So that's a long-winded answer, but I feel like LeBron's always been really cool in that way.

Uh, I can't think of a, I can't think of anyone that wept. I know one time we talked, we talked to Dabo Sweeney after they won the title and we weren't on the air, but we were, it was like in a commercial break, like before we come on with you and you're like, all right, here we go. And I saw him kind of put his head down and sort of shake his head. He was sitting by himself.

And I said, and I saw him and I said, it just hits you, didn't it? And he looked up. And he shook his head. He goes, man, he goes, I said, yeah, you just beat Alabama. You're the national champs. And he wasn't in tears, but I saw a guy in real time feel that thing like, holy shit, we did it. And that was really cool.
