put his touch on, is just breathtaking. He is an all time legend
in television, and Vince McMahon could not have been more lucky than to have
ended up with him in eighty five on NBC. I mean, you know,

out boss, if you have some time over the over the break, if
anybody into entertainment and stuff. The guy is just coming up on another Olympic
season in Paris in twenty twenty four. NBC is doing all the all that
stuff, all of our conception of how an Olympics is covered, it's all
him. He started just researching. His His first job was just simply researching
the athletes for the TV station. Like wow, it was just this sort
of like a not and he ran with that ball and he innovated as far
as like flying out to teams that's crazy, and interest stories and sports that
weren't automatically Marquee. Wonderful book, wonderful contributor. And we wouldn't be here
in terms of talking about wrestling as big as it is if it wasn't for
him in eighty five. Yeah, I definitely agree with that statement. And
thanks so much for the for the gift from Maryland. It's it's great to
uh to add to the bookshelf any chance we get, and many more journeys
