I felt pretty good about it. I needed you and Mike needed it. I needed you to get into a good place with Mike. That's all I need. So Mike was more worried about that stuff than I was at that point.

You're the one feeling it the most, though. Whatever's coming off of Dan, just so the audience understands this, Dan is not giving it to Roy or Billy or Chris or even Allison. You're getting all of it.

He just didn't want to screw up the show because your reactions to some on-air screw-ups aren't always the best, and that's fine. We understand it. You're a perfectionist. It's what makes the show the show. Mike was legitimately terrified to the point where he's leaning on me.

Mike, let me try this again because in an odd way, I viewed all this as a positive because so many radio shows don't have relationships. They come in, they do the show, they leave, they don't care about each other, they don't talk to each other, they come back the next day, they do it all over again.
