Personal
Segal was born in Canada but grew up in Houston, Texas. He is married to wife Jacquie, and has two sons (born in February 2004 and in August 2006). He maintains a relationship with his mother, but doesn't seem to like her very much, as he frequently makes disparaging remarks about her and resists contact. Segal also suffers from lupus, but apparently not a serious case. Segal also has a serious case of flatulence, he tends to take care of it while on the air. He had an American Bulldog named Molson, who was put down after a long illness in June 2007. Molson's name was likely a nod to Segal's Canadian heritage. In 2008 he adopted a 150 lb. Great Dane named Deuce who is now taller than him. His wife will not let the dog sleep in bed with them. In keeping with his roots, he also loves hockey, Wayne Gretzky, and Alexander Ovechkin. He's also a season ticket holder to the Washington Capitals. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity while in college at Houston Baptist University.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Personality and mind, like moustaches, belong to a certain age. They are a deformity in a child.... Leave his sensibilities, his emotions, his spirit, and his mind severely alone. There is the devil in mothers, that they must provoke personal ... response from their infants.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
