Those are the things you say to someone you care about. That was you. You were caring for Chris Cody. You did not want to lead Chris Cody down a bad path.

Mike, I'm interested because you have a very good pulse of the back room and what that room needs. Did you feel like you needed someone like Chris Cody at that time for the show? Chris was a good vibes guy, too.

Oh, and he told me. And he told me he was thinking about heading to Fox. And I said to him, that'd be a good career move for you. Now, I said it to him because I wanted to take over his slot. Because I wanted all the listeners, I wanted all the money, and I wanted everything that ESPN had to offer. So I said, Colin, good idea. Fox, go there. Go now.

I'm glad you brought that up because life balance is very critical. It's very important. Dan didn't have to care about it the way you and I had to care about it because we were married, we had kids, and I remember... We were commuting. And we were commuting. When you do the type of show that we do, I remember having this discussion with Dan early on when we started.

If we just throw ourselves into it, completely into it, our entire lives, just throw it into it, we'll have a good show. Because so few shows do that. But when you do do it that way, it comes at the sacrifice of some of the people that you love. And in my case, it was my wife and my kids. Like, I just missed a lot of stuff because we were doing the show later into the afternoon.

And then sometimes it would carry into the evening because we had events afterwards. And so I remember thinking to myself, this is a great change because I'll be able to see my kids more and I'll be able to see my wife more.

He didn't drop a name. He dropped a location. I know, but it's like.

Yeah, because I wanted it for vastly different reasons. I wanted that time, too, and I wanted it for you, but I also wanted all the stuff that came with being in that time slot on ESPN Radio and being on TV on ESPN. People need to understand that Dan had what he wanted when he was doing the local show at 790 The Ticket. He didn't want to go to ESPN. He didn't want to do a national show.
