Hey, this is the moment, a bright compliment.

Thanks for listening.

My guest today, a showered for the podcast,

not knowing podcasts or audio only,

that's the kind of, actually, it says something really great

about how immersed you are in what you do,

why trifle with things like how podcasts work,

even though you do many podcasts, you and Alan.

My guest today is the brilliant Michael Bamberger,

who is arguably the finest sports writer currently working,

and if you're a friend of mine who's a sports writer

and you're listening, I said among

so that your feelings wouldn't get hurt.

Michael Bamberger has just written a new book

about Tiger Woods called, Michael.

The second life in Tiger Woods.

Brian, that was very artfully worded

because you know how sensitive we sports writers are,

despite the odd couple and every other cliche

that's come down through the years about what clouds we are.

So nicely worded.

Thanks, man.
