Now it's time for the Anchorman podcast with Matt Gates and Dan Ball.

Welcome to Anchorman. I'm Matt Gates, once on my good friend, Dan Ball, and this is an

only little project. You know, Dan has been in the media business for a long time. He's been very successful.

And I'm new to this business.

And so I figured if I was going to be picking your brain and finding out how to navigate all this stuff, we might as well invite the rest of the world in on the conversation.

Just watch it.

And, you know, two bros hanging out chatting.

It's so funny.

Like the, when you would do interviews with my buddies in

Congress, like they would come back with so much of your energy just through the course of the

thing. And now I've watched you in this job and I come in and I watch part of your show

getting filmed every single day because you have a way to simultaneously perform your show, write your show, direct your show

with a secret sign language that only you and your director know. And then like,

give me to show you some of those hand gestures right now, Matt? I'm watching this stuff, dude.

And I'm like, how does one brain do all of that? And so I was just hoping maybe for

some of my listeners or people that don't know your full background, how did you come to be in this

crazy business, and how do I learn the sign language? Now, you know I don't like this type of stuff, right?

Like, I'm the one asking the question. So when I get done, I get to do this to you, right? Deal. So they get to learn more about all of us. Okay, great. So this is actually truth or dare

after the first 50s. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'll do the dares. I'll do the dares always.

That's why my nickname's Balzy, Matt. I'll do the dares. Okay, brief story, life story in like two minutes or less, right? Grow up in a small town, northwest Ohio.

Parents split divorce when I was like one.

Television raised me. I was born in 74. I'm a TV baby.
