Nah. I had enough public spotlight to last me. There was a point when women would tell my wife at work, "I woke up with your husband in bed this morning" because they had their clock radios set to the news. And once a collegemate said "I was driving in the middle of the Mojave Desert and heard you on the radio. Just can't get away from you."

... let me guess... you are an ex-faceless radio personality?

@swirlie Nope. A PR guy, who got shoved in front of microphones to answer questions on crises.

That must of been funny to listen to you bullshitting your way through those Q & A sessions! 🤣

@swirlie I had credibility because I didn't lie, and no BS. Spin things to give the most favorable explanation, yes. But factually correct. Was a different time, and working with objective news media who knew their jobs, and were invested in their own ethical guidelines as well.
