Don Berman

That was a good thing for our reputations.

And we started, Lou and I helped co-found it along with Don Berman, Bob Pero and David Watson, a bank called Merrick bank.

And some of your listeners may know about it's continues to exist today.

It's a credit card bank.

And this is a character, a very early on character that we did named Roland Schwinn.

You'll probably recognize his voice because he morphed into two other characters, Chef Carl Cedilli and Don Berman.

But at the time, Roland Schwinn was the head of a group called Fat Pride.

And we just wanted to take this whole idea of self-empowerment that's going on to this day and take it to an absurd length.

All right, 1-800-449-8686.

Talking here to Don Berman.

Not Don Berman.

We're talking to Herb Sewell.

Don was our newsman the other day.

I've got to get myself in a state of mind.

I've got the weather coming up here in about two hours to do the 5:10 weather, 5:30 weather on Channel 19 News, Don Berman.

And, uh-

Don, you said Channel 19's nude.

Sure.

Post CF Hutton, uh, and my little investment banking stint, um, I had the good opportunity to meet, uh, Don Berman, who founded CardWorks.

Um, and we met, oh my gosh, it was, um, in the late '80s.

Uh, and Don recognized that, um, there were lots of banks that would like to issue a credit card for their consumers, but they didn't have the infrastructure.
