All right, we're doing this.

Toxic and problematic.

Are you excited?

I am.

Oh, friend of mine, which I said earlier on the air,

most people don't know this about being you,

but we belong to the same country club at one point. Yeah. I've lost a lot of my Wynda County Street cred because that sentence was said at one point in time, you know. But I'm like, hey, whatever. No, yeah, we did. And I'm not there anymore. Me neither. Okay, so that's why I left because when I found out you were gone out of games. Yeah, I was like, oh, man. Yeah. But yeah, that's a crazy story. I don't know. Okay, so that's why I left, because when I found out, I was like, oh, man.

But, yeah, that's a crazy story. I assume most people can read if they clicked on this, but Nate Bucati, and many people just recognize your voice if they've been listening like, I know Lazzell and I listened for years and heard your voice for years, and we know you well. Nate Bucati and Lazzle was the one you told me about his book.

How long ago did you tell me?

When did you find out that he was writing a book? Well, he just told me he was writing a book. I found about you from him just because I'm a sports fan. Yeah. You know, I love sports. My first job was sports radio. Yeah. And then, you know, I was producing a sports radio. You know everything everything you do, running the board and reading the news for somebody, you know. And, you know, I loved it. But inside that radio, a job at a rock station opened. And they're like, you want to go do this? And I was like, fuck, yeah, let's do it. And so I've just been here the entire time. but slim nose in the back of my mind, I'm always like, when they fire me, I've got to go do sports talk.

Whenever that is,

I thought it'd be 10 years. Yeah, let's do it. And so I've just been here the entire time. But Slim knows, in the back of my mind, I'm always like, when they fire me, I've got to go do sports talk.

Whenever that is.

I thought it would be 10 years ago. Me and you talk about doing mornings together at one point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I've always asked, so can I be the guy who didn't know anything about sports? so you can talk to me like that.

You know, maybe that can help our audience appeal to women, you know?

I don't know.

I'm like you.

I think, you know, sometimes when you talk about sports. You can talk to me like that, you know, maybe, maybe that can help our audience appeal to women, you know, I don't know. I'm like, you and I think, you know, sometimes when you talk

about sports radio again, we're talking Navy Cave, we'll get your book and soccer and all stuff. But I always think of sports radio, like you do kind of, you, like we can get, when I did sports radio, PD said to me one time, he said, if a caller asks you about the backup catcher

of the Oakland A's, he knows more about the Oakland A's than you. So go ahead and let them fucking talk. Right? And I hear that all the time in sports radio. One thing I thought you did great was I'm an expert on these things. I know these things. I'll argue with you about these things. But you also said,

oh, that's interesting. But I don't know the opening. There is a part of sports radio and radio in
