Happy to do it and happy to know that somehow I leapfrogged Dan Dockage for that honor.

Who is your least favorite person in media, in sports media?

Who would be on your Mount Rushmore?

You're insulated.

I actually remember one of the first times we had an in-depth conversation, Matt, was in Omaha at the College World Series.

Yes, and Kentucky wasn't playing.

Right.

And one of the discussions we had was that you guys as a group, and maybe you specifically specifically,

had this – and this was kind of the barstool guys back in the beginning.

Like, you could attack authority.

Yeah.

And then the more successful you get – Much harder.

And the closer you get to the authority and the more money that comes in, you go, ooh, but that guy's a buddy of mine, or I run in those circles, and maybe I shouldn't offend.

Well, for me, it's not the money.

So even the frauds and hypocrites are complicated?

I see that to an extent on the game calling side and some of the sports I'm involved with.

There are people who kind of filter down to the college sports landscape.

I grew up a huge college sports fan.

I love my job.

I think you know that about me.
