Stu Burguiere

one of the calmest people.

He has been really good, especially when I was younger, because I would be very, very hasty to jump and react.

And he was always the guy going, probably shouldn't say that.

Probably shouldn't do that.

Let's wait until we get more facts on that.

And it saved me and my career more than I can count.

Um, and we really, truly will, we'll miss him.

Um, Stu started as an intern for me years ago.

We met in a, uh,

at a1 toyota uh in a he was blowing up balloons and i was alone this you know trying to say hey come on down and look at this car as i was doing mornings years and years ago and people really reacted to that advice didn't they i remember that day approximately um zero people came

Nobody came.

It was a very sad, it was a very sad, humble beginnings does not really do that justice.

Um, but, uh, uh, we sat because nobody came, we sat and we talked for a while and I realized this 18 year old kid was really astute and had studied radio and knew what was good and what was bad and why.

And I said,

You should leave the promotions department.

You should intern for me.

And he said in his head, oh, wow, the guy who can't bring a single soul down to A1 Toyota is offering me an internship.

How can I say no?

Unpaid.

But still, again, because he's so pathetic, he took it.
