I like a sausage green pepper.
And I think being like a regional celebrity in like a smaller market would be awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Yeah. So but no, I always thanks for saying all of that. Yeah, I think, you know, weather is challenging. We always in the final broadcast journalism class is one of those things where. students would just rotate. So you'd be the anchor one day. You'd be the sports guy the next week.
Then you'd direct. Then you'd be on camera. Then you'd do weather, all of these different things. And people used to fold with weather because you have no teleprompter. You're off green screen. You're going through the clicker, and then everything's opposite your instincts. You feel like you're reaching this way, and then you look at the monitor, and it's the other way.
It takes a lot to figure out, and then you have no safety net. But I did kind of enjoy that space. But a lot of people would fold under that.
No, and I'm not even really that – I was never that great a science student either, so it was going to be an uphill battle in order to get there.
I liked the presentation aspect of it, and you just have to think about when your broadcast journal is a major, there's a part of you that maybe thinks that you can be on TV, but it's not like majoring in accounting where it's like you graduate, you interview at the top four, then you get a job.

I mean, that's... I know, it's a bygone era. You know, he's kind of like the last of a dying breed, but... That's an important subculture of broadcasting.
Probably came out to try to be an actor. Always.
A rough pilot season.
Yeah, like Letterman started it as a weatherman too. Did he really? I forget that.
And I think he got fired. This is maybe lore lost in time. Because he congratulated a tropical storm on being upgraded to a hurricane. It's like a very Letterman joke.
I mean, that's awesome.
And even his writing is just kind of in that style, you know? And his irreverence, you know, towards being a... You know, he's probably bitter about doing the weather, you know? And then that's coming out in his presentation, you know? He's the best.
And the news isn't a let-you-know-everything's-okay kind of business anymore, either.
Yeah, yeah. But that's, I think, like, when, you know, sort of like the classically trained school versus... In a lot of ways, entertainment is just what we want reflected back at us. You know what I mean? And then at some point, yeah, somebody was rolling through and being like, well, this is what holds our audience. This is the watch time.
They're just looking at the data and then just cranking the other side.
Do you think... This is maybe a fun thought exercise. But as the market swings, the pendulum swings in the other direction, do you think there's a market opportunity for a classic newsman to take over in these times?
Yeah, I'm just looking at the white space in the market there. I'm wondering.
