Elliotte Friedman

Dennis was kind of like people didn't always get the credit he deserved, but he was a great player.

He was a phenomenal public speaker.

And there was, there was one thing, like one of the things I really liked about him was he laughed at everything he said and it was contagious.

I was at a number of speaking events that he did where him laughing at the stuff he said was what won the audience over.

He did it in a way that everybody wanted to join in.

He had this one gag that I would.

always laugh at it.

Couldn't, I could never not lie.

It's so stupid, but I could never not laugh at it.

He'd bring like a newspaper and he'd say, oh, I, uh, picked up my newspaper and the lease are back in first place.

And then he would turn it upside down.

Oh, now I got it right.

Like it was just, it was so corny and so stupid, but every time he did it,

I would laugh my head off.

I don't know why.

I just thought it was so funny.

Or he'd pick some team that everybody hated or just something like that.

But he'd pick a team that was in laughs.

Anyway, just a really, really funny guy.

Um, you know, uh, Jerry Meehan, um,
