He goes, Dana's told everybody.

You know, thanks, Dana.

Then Dana called me up and he said they were doing this special animated show they made about it.

Yeah.

and he goes oh you're gonna love this one of the best things we ever did i said oh great okay thanks dana yeah that's what it is there's an animation right yeah it was like an animated thing about it and they interviewed frank and dana's reaction was probably like that was badass right all i can say is you know you know dana's a very tough guy himself let's not kid ourselves and um i guess he knows he doesn't have a whip announcing his fighters in the octagon so i can tell you when did you fall in love with just the fighting game as you know i met my legendary brother michael buffer yeah

When I was 20 years old, we didn't grow up together.

We're long lost half brothers.

But my dad introduced me to boxing.

My dad was a Marine, World War II in Korea.

Was in the Corps for like 13 years.

Was a drill instructor at Camp Pendleton.

And went on to, I learned all my entrepreneur spirit from my dad.

He went on to run Fortune 500 companies and all that kind of stuff.

So my dad was, we were, my brother Brian were watching boxing.

I mean, Saturday night was,

my mom was great meal in new york state baked potato um vegetables and boxing you know i was watching boxing like fresh out of the room it was fighting at that point oh these are all in the great days and then you can go back on to the you know the 80s and i you know mike tyson coming out in 86 and then you know michael coming on the scene in the late 80s and realizing you know when they put his name on the screen i go who is this guy you know with the net last name buffer long story cut short i um

You know, we called the office of Don King and Bob Arum and everybody and asking about him.

And finally I was driving up north with my dad and I said, dad, you know, people are stopping me, asking me if this guy's my brother, Michael Buffer, the boxing announcer.

You know, he had this whole debonair, great looking, you know, still great looking guy that James Bond demeanor, the whole bit changed the whole role of announcing.
