Remember when I told you in March of 2020 when we were getting ready to start the radio show and then the world shut down?

And it's like, you were all like, oh, no, no sports.

I mean, we're starting a radio show in the middle of a pandemic when no sports.

And I kept telling you, man, in a way, this is actually beneficial because what did I say, Joe?

You said this will be the hardest thing that you'll have to do in the format.

So let me apologize to you.

I was wrong.

That was not the hardest thing you would have to do in your transition to radio.

I could not predict.

But I would argue with you having no sports was harder than. your transition to radio. I couldn't predict.

But I would argue with you, having no sports was harder than doing a show on our own because

we had sports to react to.

Yeah.

And it was also three years into it.

So I actually knew what I was doing.

So you were still right.

Don't, don't sell yourself short.

I felt like, I felt like it was good to forge you in the fires of nothingness,

to learn what it takes to really make it work and just BS five days a week for three hours

a day.

On the flip side of that, see, for me, I viewed it as a fun challenge,

but I did not realize that 2023 would actually be the hardest part of my career. There you go. There you go. So you had 2020. I had 2023 and here we are.
