Like it takes you to a place that you might not have considered at all before with someone living a, trying to live a normal life with something that if all of us were looking at it, we'd be saying, if that happened to me, how is it that I would go through life? Could I be happy? Could I be myself?

Could I be somebody that was normal instead of sullen because my life, I can change my life's energies just by having a different attitude, no matter how I look.

I want to ask you guys something else about a negotiation that's coming up. I think this one will interest people. Get me the sound, please, for when people don't want me to talk about sports media stuff, because I think this particular one is something that people might be finding interesting in what is about to be the golden age.

of the streaming services are just going to fire hose money at certain personalities because of Netflix having one of its greatest periods ever now that they've just dipped a toe in sports.

I think Amin's going to find this one interesting, okay? Because if Tom Brady is worth $375 million to do a job part-time over here, and if Stephen A. Smith and Pat McAfee and everybody tries to change, and the Kelseys try to change the economy of how many millions per year can you make doing this?

I don't think in my entire lifetime covering sports, I have seen someone have more power from a broadcasting perspective than what Charles Barkley heads into here. Getting to decide whether he wants to work for ESPN because he got traded.

And Charles Barkley has all the power over everybody because Amazon and everybody, everybody's gonna be bidding on Charles Barkley, not the entirety of the show. So he's in the position where he holds all the cards in a negotiation to work as much or as little as he wants when it's the golden age of we're going to pay tens of millions of dollars for this.

Because if Barclay's at $20 million a year now, and I understand the stratosphere is ridiculous, but he's going to have all of these giant entities saying, we want just you. You're your own network. You, you, it's not even just your show. We want just you. Because having you brings us whatever Tom Brady's bringing you because you've attached this particular name to what you do.

And I just can't believe that's so with a man in his 60s.

Understood, but when you have everyone bidding for you and sports money is spilling all over the place at 20 million a year, there is nobody worth more, wanted by more people than this person. Like, you can say that, but everyone's going to be in the game trying to say they're the ones who have Charles Barkley.

So I ask you guys... Do you think that this is a situation where you can find me a negotiation that someone headed into where he had more power, more in sports?
