Elliot will open up the podcast today on a sad note the passing of

derianitian from T.S. N. is one that has hit everybody in the industry hard.

He passed away Wednesday at the age of 57. As I mentioned to you on radio on Thursday, I don't know that I've seen

anyone do highlight shows with more energy and enthusiasm for longer than

Darren the Titian. That job specifically doing

highlight shows deep deep deep into the morning is a real grind and you always

got a sense that he really loved what he was doing and we loved watching him

Elliot. No question about it as I said to you the most important thing that anyone

on air can have is passion because if you are not passionate about the subject that you are

talking about why on earth would the viewer be interested that's very

important Titian was one of the best at it. He always had such enormous passion and that's what brought people in.

I didn't know him that well, not as well obviously as the T.S.N. co-workers did.

57 is way to them. as the T.S.N. co-workers did.

57 is way too young.

Way too young.

It's not right and it's not fair.

I would like to tell one story about Titian

that actually wasn't an encounter with him per se. story about

de Titian that actually wasn't an encounter with him per se, but it was an encounter about him and I can't believe I forgot to mention it

when I was on your radio show on Thursday. Years ago when I was on your radio show on Thursday.

Years ago, when I was still dating Steph,

I was driving to her house and we picked up one of her brothers, David.
