He is still making a little bit of money. It would help him if we did that,’ and it would help them as well.”

“You would think they might want to do everything they could to promote something like that. That might be something fun to start, too. If you get back in, you might want to do something like a part-time deal, [be a] manager, or special — I think I was pretty good at interviews, too,” Sid explained, highlighting the potential benefits of his involvement. “There’s always a lot of people having a hard time with that. If I could teach them, maybe I could help them do their interviews.”
