I do like really obscure announcers that like only like five people know. So I'm not going to play those hits. It's like the Bill Hader impression of the guy from Dateline, right? Keith Morrison. Like Bill Hader's like, I know how to do this, but nobody knows who I'm talking about.

He's a little bit like, he's not brilliant at all, but he kind of sounds a little bit like it. And he'll be like, that's his deal. He goes over his left shoulder. How could you not know that? So if you watch Robbie do a game, he's going to, as he talks about the scouting report, he'll be like, that's his deal. And Amari Barnett goes right. Like that's his deal. That's his thing. Right.

So just watch for a Robbie game and you will hear that's his deal.

He is. First of all, I sent him a CD when I was a senior in college and I got this phone call and it was from a number that I didn't have in my phone. And I pick it up and he goes, Jason, Sean McDonough, how are you? And I was like, hey, Sean, you're just calling me, huh? And he's like, I listen to your CD. It's very good. Here are some thoughts.

And so I revered Sean for the way he sounds and the way he brings humor into it and the way that he used to just like snipe at Raph and Billis. Big Monday was really important to me as a college student, but as somebody growing up in this industry. So, you know, like McDonough just being like, right after he has Irish arthritis, he wakes up stiff in a new joint every morning.

Like that sort of thing is my kind of humor. Right. And so that every Monday was really, really important to me in my career. And there have been times in games where I'll just be like Jones baseline. And I'm like, oh, no, like you cannot you cannot actually do that. You know, it's it's why like if you do I an eagle too much, you're like, oh, a foreign facial. Right.

Then suddenly it comes out in games where you're just like, oh, what a drive. Oh, no, that's not even me. Like, that's totally somebody else. That's not good at all. Or you become Boo, where he's like, three is good. And there's, like, a slight dismissiveness to it, even though, like, you know he's really into it. So but that's the that's the scary part of all of it is you just become them.

So I did the Robbie impression during a game with Bill Raftery. I was like, that's a deal. And Robbie texted me, you're dead to me. To which then one of his assistant coaches at Purdue texted, love the Robbie impression. So it's mixed signals, really, that I'm getting.
