Sean Hannity

I'll give you an example of how I learned to work harder. When I was in Atlanta, there was a legend, he's now retired, he's still a friend of mine. And it's funny, we became friends because we were fierce competitors. His name is Neil Bortz, smart as hell, Mensa, he's that bright. And he was on a station in Atlanta and then he made the jump to another station.

It was a big deal, big story, big change. I went in to audition, two days, I get hired, I move from Huntsville, Alabama to Atlanta. He's on a six month no compete. I get there, I've got four months to convince this audience that I'm worth listening to. Otherwise, he's going to come in? Well, first, he made a mistake. He used to be on 9 to noon, which was my slot.

Then he moved 12-3 to go up on my station. We had Rush at the time, and Rush was like at the top of his game. I mean, pulling massive numbers, which was great for me because he was a big draw for the station. That meant huge cue. So he went up against Rush. He got his ass kicked. Then he swore, I'm a morning person. Sure enough, I'm going on vacation one day.

My first vacation, like eight months after starting. And I'm listening to him 12 to 3. I just finished my show. I'm driving to the airport, Hartsfield Airport. And he's like, Hannity, I know you're listening. I'm like.

On the air. I'm like, how the hell does he know I'm listening? He goes, I know you're going on vacation. He goes, get ready. Your phone's about to ring. And he goes, I just want you to know, you're going to get a call from your boss telling you to come back because starting Monday morning at 8.45, he was going to get a 15 minute jump on me. He was an SOB. And I heard all of it.

He goes, I'm coming and I'm taking my audience back and I'm running you out of town. All that on the air. All that on the air. And I heard every bit of it. Wow. So I was close to the airport, get to the airport, call my boss, I'm coming back. I'm not going on vacation. They wouldn't let me. And I was too new to have any juice to fight him. I'm like, no, I want to come back.

I want to be on the air. What the hell is this? I'm like, you can't do this to me. And it worked out fine. It ended up, nobody had ever been able to compete with this guy. And there were a couple of books I beat them, and that had never happened before. There were three books in a row. Now, you think of all the stations in Atlanta. These are 2 a.m. stations at the time.
