AFTER 33 YEARS. SHE'S ASKED ME THIS BEFORE.

My wife Shari and I got away for the weekend.

These little escapes have become important to us. It's a chance to reconnect, talk about the future, make plans and occasionally pretend we have our sh*t figured out.

But this trip took an unexpected turn.

Shari usually doesn't ask me too many questions about my career.

After 33 years of marriage to a BIG dreamer, I'm pretty sure she's heard enough ideas to last several lifetimes.

But she's quietly watched me dig in on one particular idea: The Late Night Radio Show.

At one point she looked at me and said, "Whatever you're planning seems very personal."

She was right.

Then she started asking questions.

Real questions. Why this show? Why now? What am I trying to create? And why does this one seem to matter so much?

Since I apparently can't experience an emotional moment without eventually turning it into content, I grabbed my phone and started recording.

There was no plan. No lighting. No microphones. No prepared answers.Just Shari asking me about a dream I'm still trying to figure out myself.

I originally recorded this just for us—for history's sake. I wanted something I could look back on someday if this crazy vision actually becomes what I see in my head.

Then I thought… maybe this is exactly the kind of conversation the show is supposed to be about.

So here it is.

Before the show. Before we know if it works. Before I know how the story ends.

This is what the dream looks like right now
