Realty includes, but is not limited to the following statements.
It was my idea to do a radio show with a gambling in Las Vegas theme. though I was in favor of a broader topic base. I asked Bob if he'd like to co-host with me. It was never my intention to do the show for more than a year. A recent sharp decline in listener-ship has promoted the need for a format change. Bob and I discussed it and it makes more sense for me to leave, since I was the short-timer anyway.
Bob's life and a ongoing career are devoted to gambling with an edge (and I don't mean the show). Therefore he will carry on in my stead with a new co-host Richard Munchkin that has much broader gambling experience than I do. As bizarre as this comment might seem, Bob and I are too similar in disciplines (both VP pros). The inclusion of Richard should be a great move.
I had very different ideas on how to take the show national and pump up the ratings. Bob and I do disagree on what is and is not "gambling related". It would be silly for me to go to a lot of trouble and fight for what I believe only to end the show anyway in another six months.
Bob and I are now in total agreement on this new change and we are parting good friends. I may also do some guest appearances in the future. I wish him nothing but the best and I hope my fans out there will give the new co-host a chance.

His take on the third wave gambling and where it's taking us is different from I Nelson's Rose. The contrast should be illuminating.
