I know Mike has referred to some of the stuff that came before this as spicy, but I view as this time ahead, our most tumultuous time together because we were growing more than we had ever grown. And I was probably unhappier than I'd ever been while we were doing this during the period ahead, because I am not good with change. And I had a lot of change happening in my personal life and the professional life had a change that Stu Gatz and Mike were advocating for. that I was resistant against, and the resentment was an undercurrent in just about everything we were doing because I was fearing that we were ruining what made the show special by grabbing at more and more things that we wanted, that we needed, that the show benefited from, but was making my daily life a little more unhappy and uncertain than I wanted it to be, given that all our dreams were coming true.

We'll get into all those particulars in this episode that'll cover probably the second most important decision because the decision to leave ESPN when that time came was probably the biggest for our lives. But professionally, second biggest decision the show ever made. And it wasn't going to ESPN in the first place because we had carved out a nice little lane there in afternoons. No one was really paying attention to us. We had already made that decision. The decision to go to mid-days really changed everything for us in a variety of ways. I guess professionally, there were a lot of benefits too. Our reach was about to increase dramatically. Our visibility, our cultural impact, the money that we made, all this was a bit of a game changer for us.

But what Dan was consistently warning against as you and I pushed for this move. to replace Colin Coward, and we'll get into all those spicy details here in this episode, was we go to this great prize piece of real estate in radio, and all of a sudden, overnight, a lot of suits that left us alone, that probably left the office early before we even turned on our microphones in the afternoon, all of a sudden had to justify their jobs and their responsibilities and pay attention to a show that didn't really care much for the ESPN brand.
