I would probably be doing it anyway, just because that's where my interests have been for the last 30 years. -- I think that's one thing that I will bring to talk radio that is a little different, having been one of the actual people on the arena floor, not just an observer. I want then to have fun. I want them to not slam the door of their car when they get out of it walking into their office building."
