Going all the way back to when they were first founded? Yes. I was at WQAM 1993. The summer of 93 I arrived. My first job out of college. And that happened to coincide with the Panthers being founded. So I was at opening night. I was at the first ever Panthers game. And then we were there non-stop. I was probably, if they played 41 home games, I was probably at like 38 of them because...
Ich bekam nicht viel Geld, als ich erkannt habe, dass das Medienbuffet gratis war. Das war schön. Aber ich erinnere mich natürlich darauf, dass Wayne Huizenga die Mannschaft in den letzten Jahren gewohnt hat. Er hat auch nicht nur Wastemanagement gewohnt, sondern auch Blockbuster-Videos. Und es gab ein Blockbuster-Video auf der Straße von unserem Apartment-Komplex, von mir und John Chambi.
Und wir haben gewohnt, Filme zu rentieren. And I remember when the Panthers were first coming into existence at Blockbuster Video to teach South Florida, which I don't know if this is still the case, but I remember being told that, you know, Dade County spoke Spanish as a first language, like 70% of the people. Now we're trying to do hockey in downtown Miami.
And so Wayne Huizenga had John Van Beesbrook record this like, I don't know, 10, 15 minute tutorial video of This is hockey. And it was like, this is icing. This is offside. This is hooking. This is fighting. You can't do that with your stick. And when you went to rent a movie back in the early 90s, you would get, if you wanted it, a free... John Van Beesbroeck explains hockey tutorial video.
So you could go home and learn what the rules of hockey were. So if you went to a Panthers game, you'd have some idea of what was going on. And now the Panthers are a dynasty. And you've got kids of Cuban immigrants with Hispanic last names that are diehard hockey fans that have grown up with this franchise.
Yes. Love it. And it's exactly what it's supposed to be, right? Like it's worked. It's proven that it worked exactly the way it's intended to work. To introduce this sport to a population that probably never saw ice before, much less, never was probably in temperatures below 50 degrees before, much less conceived of hockey, but then saw it.
Ich habe mich damit gefreut, bin damit aufgewachsen, liebe dieses Team und jetzt sind es tolle Räume und ein wunderbarer Generalmanager hat ein unglaubliches Team zusammengebracht. Und sie sind vielleicht auf dem Weg zu den Back-to-Back-Cups. Also zu sehen, was Hockey in Florida 30 Jahre her war und jetzt ist, ist großartig.
Do you still have one somewhere? Well, I, you know, again, this is one of those things, like, you have no foresight. Like, I would have held on to all of my, like, Star Wars toys if I would have known what they were, that it was gonna be really valuable someday, or like a collectible, right? So no, like, I didn't know that the John Van Biesbrook instructional tape was gonna be something that you'd
Ich weiß nicht, vielleicht kann man es irgendwo auf YouTube finden, oder vielleicht gibt es eine Kopie von dem, aber ich habe es nicht.
Vielleicht müssen wir die Leute auf Blockbuster Video fragen, aber ich glaube, das würde nicht funktionieren. Ja.
Oh man, I don't even know. Like, you know, well, you know, I could tell you how, you know, strange like careers get started, right? So I get brought down to Miami to be the Hank Goldberg's producer, right? Like I was Hanks button pushing, call screening, traffic recording, guest booking as you guys do producer. Okay. And I'm getting paid $7.10 an hour. And I'm told to keep this under my hat.
Because there were guys at the radio station that were living at home, but they hadn't cracked 7 bucks an hour yet. This is by the way 1993, not 1953. So 1993, I'm making 7 dollars and 10 cents an hour, but again, I'm paying rent.
These guys are living at home, so I guess they figured if they bumped me up like the extra 30 cents an hour, somehow that would help me make the rent in our apartment complex. And so, all right, I'm working every hour I possibly can. I am burning the midnight oil. I'm working 70 hour weeks just to try and hit overtime to get up to like 10 bucks an hour.
