And speaking of a great team, we have someone else who you anchored with, shared the desk with for a long time here at Wky Ramona Robinson. Wow. Wow. You know, I had to come to. Congratulations. Thank you. Nice to meet you. Thank you for being here. I had to come see you, Jimmy. I know when I was, uh there was a night and Ramona would remember this. Well, Tim White came down with laryngitis on election night. OK? And Ramona and Tim were gonna do the election returns that night and they tried, Tim kept saying, well, give me a chance and he came in and his voice was really bad. So they said, hey, Jimmy, you're pretty good at politics. Why don't you do the election results with Ramona? Ramona goes, what, what Jimmy Jimmy's gonna do the election? And I said, well, I know how to do scores. I remember that night. I was so nervous but I knew you could do it because one of the things we love besides sports was watching politics, Jimmy loved, I mean, we loved watching the returns come in, but you were limited to watching the returns come in and I, they're gonna put him with me during the election, but we had such a ball. There are so many things about this man that Cleveland doesn't know Jimmy has such a soft side to him. And when I think back to the times we spent together, I mean, I see your wife over there so I can't tell all the secrets. I sure. But we had such a ball and especially sports. I remember when I love sports. Oh my gosh. When I first started here in March of 1997 I was so nervous because I was part of the worst kept secret here. Remember I was replacing Don Stensland but no one was supposed to know it, but everybody knew it. And so I was so afraid because I thought, how am I gonna be received? She was currently still in the building. But I had to work until her six month non compete was over. And so I said, oh, because I love sports. I said, let me go find a sport together and, and that's how we first met. I went over and talked sports to him and you know what I, if I would say something, something saucy on the air about one of the teams, Ramona would go. Oh, Jimmy, I don't know and I would hit him and I became such a part of sports. I remember being out on a live shot with another uh station and some guys came back and they said, Ramona Robinson, Jim Donovan, the best sports team in the best sports team. I'm so happy to have met you and I know you've made such an impact on Jim. So thank you. Thank you so much. Oh, it's the best of you. And, and I have to say you said that we would be 80 years old before the Browns uh, won a championship. Are you holding to that? No, I'm gonna, I'm gonna shorten that. I think they're gonna win soon. They are gonna win soon and we're gonna continue because we have so many more guests coming up as they continue to chat forever. They should, we'll be right back.
