00:00I can't imagine there was any transitional period.

00:02How much fun did you have jumping back in with John?

00:05Well, we really did.

00:05And you know, you kind of forget.

00:08Then it took about two seconds.

00:10No, John was great.

00:11He was all, you know what they used to say about Billy?

00:13He's tanned and rested.

00:14Every time George brought him back, yeah.

00:16No, he was, he hadn't missed it, you could tell.

00:19And I thought it was great.

00:20There is something about it, Susan.

00:22As I was driving home listening to you and John,

00:24it just felt whole and complete.

00:28I know, you know, maybe it sounds crazy,

00:30or maybe you being that you're the person who's

00:32providing the entertainment for so many.

00:36But it just felt like everything is normal.

00:38Ah, OK, John and Susan together.

00:39Do you realize the impact that you and John

00:42have had together for 20 years?

00:45How it makes just people feel complete listening to you guys?

00:49I've seen it this year.

00:51I never really thought about it a lot,

00:52because when it involves you, you don't really

00:55think about it like that.

00:56But I remember when, you know, growing up and listening

00:59to certain pairs of people that were on for 30 years,

01:02it means summer.

01:03It means when you were a kid.

01:06It means when you first fell in love with Yankees baseball.

01:09It's all of that.

01:10It's all very, very personal.

01:13And I think you just said it by now,

01:15we're totally John and Susan, wherever we go.

01:18And I was telling John when we were in Oakland,

01:22I've seen the same people in Oakland for all the years

01:25I've gone there.

01:26And that's a really long time.

01:28And everybody had said, you know,

01:30it's always John and Susan.

01:32And one family actually said to me,

01:34oh, we're so glad you're here to say goodbye.

01:37Didn't John want to come and say goodbye?

01:40And it really struck me when that family told me

01:43I'd watch their kids grow up, because the same people

01:45sat in that stadium for all those years.

01:48And it used to be quite the place.

01:50But when they say John and Susan,

01:51it's always John and Susan.

01:53It's not John Sterling, Susan Waldman.

01:54It's always John and Susan.

01:56And it's very, very personal to people.

01:58And think back when you're a kid.

02:00You know, think back when Bill White and Phil Razuto were on.

02:02That was many, many years of those people being your summer.
