00:00I want to ask you about this transition in the booth.
00:05I mean, this is, I mean, I don't know how you feel about change, but this is the first
00:08change that you've had in radio for so long with John Sterling retiring, you know, certainly,
00:14you know, a long and storied career, your partner in the booth for such a long time.
00:18How has the transition been for you?
00:20Well, it's, well, because it's so many people and so many different times, you really don't
00:25know.
00:26And there's people wandering in and out and I forget and I'm not good with spreadsheets.
00:30So I never know who's sitting there until I walk in the booth.
00:33It's great.
00:34It's like an audition time for an awful lot of young broadcasters.
00:38And how do I like change?
00:40I'm an old get off my lawn person.
00:42I hate change, but you know, it's inevitable and it's kind of fun.
00:46I mean, it's kind of fun to see because there is a new style and there's a new kind of broadcaster
00:51thing and I'm learning from them as they're learning from me.
00:55And by the way, I'm still there.
00:57So I could, I could get to say, I'm sorry, you don't do that.
01:00That's what I do.
01:01But it's, it's really, it's really different, but you know what, Craig, to be honest, sometimes
01:07it's really good when there's change because it forces you to grow and it forces you to
01:13get out of your own little tunnel of how you look at things because there's a whole other
01:17world out there.
01:19And if one guy sees it this way, maybe I should take a look at it and see what I can
01:24glean out of that too.
01:26So it's, it's actually been a lot of fun for me.
01:28I really like it a lot.
01:29Yeah.
01:30The only thing I have to stop you when they said you should be learning from them.
01:33I don't think so.
01:34Well, no, no, no, no, no, they're not going to learn from about broadcast.
01:39I'm not going to learn about broadcasting from them, but I see that a different generation
01:43looks at the game.
01:44We don't see the same games all the time.
01:47And I look at it.
01:48You know, I love information as well as everybody, but I see people, I don't see numbers.
01:52And that is something that, you know, if you listen to younger broadcasters, that that
01:58comes up a lot.
01:59And there's a lot of that there.
02:00And this is radio.
02:02So if I can teach a younger broadcaster that this isn't television, they can't see it.
02:07You've got to talk with your heart and you've got to, they have to listen to you and really
02:13respond to you.
02:14You can't, information over the radio too much, your head will blow up, it'll explode.
02:21And everybody comes in and everybody is so energetic and they want to prove that they
02:26can do this.
02:27And it's, you know, it's great.
02:28And, you know, after a while you calm down and you start watching the game and not, you
02:32know, showing people what you know, but it's terrific.
02:36And I do have to remember that they are doing this in the biggest market in the world and
02:42it's very tough for every single one of them.
02:44So I'm trying to be as gracious and helpful as I can.
