"You have been a major influence on just me as a professional to watch what you do and how you've done it for so long. Before I introduce you officially, from sincerely, I'm a massive fan and you're someone that I had hoped to emulate at some point. Run with that. Run with that. Okay, let's do it. Keep this going. So you like people that don't work that retire early. Well, that's makes sense. You know? My wife would like for me to retire sometimes. But it's the fact that you went in. You're doing play by play for the Savannah spirits. That in Savannah, Georgia. Back in the day, man. And that turns into through a couple steps. SportsCenter, The Daily Show, to have in your own late night talk show. All of that just kind of shows you it doesn't matter where you're from. It's where you're going. Right. And that is really inspiring to a guy like me, honestly. Thank you. So thank you for being thank you for being so nice about that. I got a quick story for you. I was so happy to see that you were in the celebrity pro am and pebble beach. And I like your swing, man. It's compact. You don't go back too far. It's because I'm scared to, but yes. Yeah. And so I used to live up in Carmel, and I worked in local TV in Salinas, Santa Cruz, Monterey, the one ten market. My boss was Paul Miller. He was the news director where I worked. Now he owns the newspaper, the Carmel pine cone, and the Carmel pine cone is one of the few newspapers in America that makes money. It's free. Every Thursday and Friday, you get a free. They have all this advertising, and he makes a really sweet profit. And like some people, he's on his third marriage, and I met Jackie. I've met Jackie a couple of years ago, but at Thanksgiving, I was up there and I saw Paul and Jackie and Jack, he's like, I like your podcast. How'd you get Bobby bones on? I said, how do you know Bobby bonds? Because I love Bobby bones. Thank you. So middle aged women love you. That's what I hear. It's my prime demographic there. You know, actually met Craig because I just sent you a DM. I was just like, hey man, big fan. That was literally it. Just DMed you. Said, hey, man, big fan. Then you follow me back, so I screamed like a schoolgirl, and then now we have this budding friendship. Yes, you have a lot of followers on Instagram. You're kind of a phenomenon. And I'm like, I'm in my mahogany panel, Dan watching, Turner classic movies. So I don't know. I don't know all these young people. You're a young person, right? No, you have a lot of dreams. Yes. And you're doing very well. I show you on the Grammys. Did you do the Grammys? I did. Yeah. And you could probably dunk on Seacrest, right? You're a ball player, right? You know? I love Ryan and Ryan, let's leave it there. Ryan's like Illuminati, you know, you don't want to mess. Yeah, he's the king. So how was pebble? How is pebble beach? You know the crazy thing I've never been there before. I've never been allowed to be to play the celebrity prompts. It was like the first year where they go, you're a celebrity. So I really felt good about that. And then to get there and play what you've seen on TV for years and years was really special. And I played it well. I don't play golf anymore, one of the smartest decisions of my life. I tried to play, and I was living in Carmel. I was taking lessons from the golf pro 'cause he said you can, you can play pebble whenever you want because I was a local sportscaster. Then I get the job at ESPN and I have to leave. So I say I better play pebble. I powered the first two holes. I birdie number 7, which is the par three. Little probably a 9 iron, or maybe a 7 iron, 9 iron, and I was two feet away from the cup. I said to the golf pro, you give it to me. He goes, absolutely not. So I'm shaking. And I got a birdie. And I shot like a 96 'cause I'm not very good. But when I took lessons, the guy said, because I would push the ball. I don't have I actually don't have a strong core. I joke about a strong torso on my Instagram, but I don't have a strong core. So I pushed my back releases and I pushed the ball, so he says on the practice range, driving range, just pull back halfway and then roll your wrists. And I was snapping 5 irons. And you kind of go back a little bit, you don't get in trouble, and you have a nice sweet left handed swing, right? I have a swing in its left hand, it's sweet, is debatable, but I'm scared to go back any further. I haven't played golf very long. Yeah, we played and Jim nantz called a shot. I'm up in gymnastics calling and the cameras are on. I'm trembling. Right. You know, and I do a lot of stuff on big stages, and I don't get that nervous because I have a confident because I've been working, and I've put in the time. Right. Go off, I did not feel that. I peed a little, and it was shaking. My knees were shaking. And when I hit it, and I beat Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. One on one. Beat Aaron Rodgers. That's amazing. Yes, that's right. They're out there. Tweet that. But if you're allowed to pee, that kind of gives you an advantage because it throws everybody off. That's a little lighter, yeah. But I quit because I was invited to celebrity golf tournaments, and I was horrendous off the T and I was very good at basketball, so it wasn't enjoyable for me to be mediocre or below. I was below mediocre and golf, so it's cathartic to get out of there. I saw pau Gasol playing or hitting balls on the driving range, right next to me. No, as Mark Gasol. Their brothers, they're both massive, and they had a hat on. They're both 7 foot and to watch a 7 footer swing. Right. They were still so athletic. It looked somewhat normal, but 6 four. Do you have to get new clubs? Muscular 6 5? Technically, I can play 5 11. You know, I probably should have gotten clubs that worked. I blame Carl ravage. He made me buy these clubs from his buddy. It could Bristol, Connecticut, and he, I don't know, maybe he got a little kickback there, but they're too short for me in my clubs. That was my issue. By the way, one more thing about golf because I'm glad I don't play. I can putt, you know why I can put 'cause it's all touch. It's all touch. I have touch with passes with putting, but I can't swing off the team, man. What were you were you three? We had two or three, one of the greatest questions ever. I was recruited to play two guard. I was like pistol Pete. I also played small Ford and I had my best games at point guard. The reason I didn't play as much at Montana state, I had a full ride, is because this guy friend of mine, Jeff apery, who was from callous Bel Montana, he was supposed to go to the university of Montana, the grizzlies, not the bobcats and Bozeman, but he comes down there, so now we have these two two guards. And they had to go with the Montana guy. More athletic than me. Kind of like a Rex Chapman. But who's better? Pistol Pete maravich or Rex Chapman. I should have played more. First two games I played. You still holding on to that, huh?

Man there's so many hoops to jump through But you know. I had a lot of amazing people supporting me through it and yeah there was so much compassion going around for the music industry. So you end up working out. So you're you're able to be back out and play yet. I've been playing actually just got back from a two month trip in california.
