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:
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“In our personal ambitions we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up—or else all go down—as one people.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
