I hope you make it a constructive and truthful interview with MD! A couple questions would be is how serious is his "alcoholic drug" problem and why did he go so far as to call SVB out on him dating a minor and silently implying she was a minor and it didn't look good for him!
I would love to know those 2 questions!

The primary purpose of the interview was to let Mike answer the question about his retirement, and perhaps discuss his future plans if he was comfortable doing so.
Dwelling on negative subjects, while sometimes necessary, is typically not useful for anything but more gossip, mudslinging, and ultimately more bruises on the apple that is pool.
Beyond that, ask yourself this question: How far is too far? When it comes to someone else's personal life.
Is it any of my business if your wife or girlfriend was unfaithful? Or if you were?
Do I need to know if you've ever had to much to drink or smoke and did some stupid shit ?
Do any of us need to know what you do for a living, how much you earn, and how you spend it?
I'm not defending Mike. I've never met the guy. I'm letting you know that we (ABR) are not in the business of interviewing people for the purpose pinning them to the wall with questions they don't want to answer and probably shouldn't answer.
That being said, we also allow our guests to speak as freely as THEY are comfortable with, so if there is in fact any controversial topic to be discussed, it will be by their own choice and not ours.
I hope this sheds a little more light on our modus operandi, and we thank you for listening to our programs.
