| 0:36.8 | The very last day for the late great Don Imus in the morning, which... where it all started for me, basically. |
| 0:38.5 | I did sports talk radio down in Florida, I don't know, for a couple of years, |
| 0:42.9 | and then I got my first opportunity in New York in 2000, host a morning show. |
| 0:48.7 | The time the station was doing very, very well, had people like Opie and Anthony and the radio chick, |
