I'm one of the co-hosts of the Jake and Gino show and I'm flying solo today. My partner is in Disney. I don't know what possessed him to go to Disney, everybody. We just had an M.M5 amazing event. And you know what? Sucks for him because he's missing this week's guest. I got him all to myself. And I want to really intro this guest by sharing a story of his first book.

2:05.9	It's just a testament to what he's done.
