I am Vinnie Tortorich and no, she's not here today, folks.

There is no Anna Vocino today.

You see, Anna and I have moved the podcast too once a week.

But as you guys know, I like to talk a lot.

And since I like to talk, I figured I put a mic in front of me,

and I'm starting a whole different thing.

They're not going to be every week.

It's only when I find something compelling that I want to talk about.

I'll do it.

And we're going to call them one-on-ones,

not to be confused with the 101 series that I do, where I give advice,

um, like we had, uh, NSNG 101, NS&G cooking 101. This is different. This is one-on-one,

where I'm going to sit down with one other person and just hash it out.

You know, when I decided to do this, I, you know, I'm going to be honest.

I was going to cheap out.

I was going to call Howie and, you know, do the celebrity thing.

Hey, Howie, come in.

Let's do another one-on-one. And, well, our first one-on-one, I was going to make that my deal and, you know, kind of cheap out that way. And then, you know, get John Mendoza in, get him to do one because he's a funny guy. I was going to probably pull Bobby Kelly in. So you see where I was heading.

I was going towards the comedians to do one-on-ones.

But my old friend Katie Sullivan, who you guys have heard on the regular podcast, if you remember right, she is the athlete with no legs.

I called her the female blade runner, except she hasn't killed her husband yet.

Katie Sullivan sent me a text just a couple of days ago.
