Great show. He made me laugh too.
Bob –
GREAT interview. What a guest! A LIFE of great stories. I will now go out and purchase his books for my boys.
Bob, you're the "best thing going" in media today, and most certainly on satellite radio. Don't ever retire, but if you do, can I have your job? Failing that, may I work there for you? I could possibly even fake it and make a decent guest in a pinch. "Life in Appalachia: A Masters Degree and Little to Show for It in the New Millenium."
The best guests, the most memorable interviews. Your enthusiasm, your interest, (and your preparation) shines through and captivates us listeners. Really, really great! Thanks so much.
