There's plenty of names to throw out there.

But are your potential successors coming to you for advice?

You feel it because you helped them get to the place where they're going.

You know what I mean?

So it is like a parent.

Yeah, and certain people are blessed with the gift of gab, and we were talking about how you at WFAN helped you become a really good broadcaster as well because you can talk, right?

I've heard that's your fault.

Yeah, but it doesn't matter.

It's necessary for your job, and it's a great thing, even though some people could use it as a mocking thing.

I think it's a great thing to be able to have a conversation, and that's essentially what you do in radio even when you're doing play-by-play.

No, it is.

It's a way for fans and even as commentators and broadcasters, ways to pay tribute to things that are important in real time.

But you also gave a lesson about Tom Seaver.

Stroke, they're eager.

They stay for a lot longer, right?

You just make them feel good.

They're going to stay and keep talking to you.

It's not a bad lesson.

Definitely.
