He's a low hum, but he's the most empathetic, kind, low hum that you've ever gotten. Do you have any idea? Do you know Len Casper, the former Cubs TV announcer, now White Sox radio? Yep. There was a, I was out for a game with the White Sox and then Len was in on TV and there was a game winner that went over the Orioles right fielder. And he was just like,

And the problem with all of this is I just revere announcers. I love sounds and I love announcers. And I think people have thought I'm making fun of people, but I'm like, I love sounds. And so I just, I hear these moments and I get excited about them.

So then as a storyteller is just a number one. But then then you get to like specific people with specific sports. You know, I find Joe Buck to be truly phenomenal. His mind moves very quickly and sharply. I think Sean on college football is just unbelievably good. I thought Gary Thorne doing hockey was just unreal.

Like, there's a call of his that Paul Correa, when he was playing for the Ducks, he got knocked on the ground, and then he gets back up, and it's off the floor, on the board, Paul Correa. But right before he takes the shot, he's like, the crowd wants it. Slap shot, score, right? It's, like, it's bone-chilling how good it is. So there are just, like, for specific events, like, I...

totally underrated Andrew Catalan for the NCAA tournament. He has nailed some huge moments the past bunch of years. There are just so many good people. But yeah, I just enjoy the sounds we get to make while we do games.

Oh, oh, yes, I did. So the NHL had a lockout like many years ago. I was in Syracuse at the time. I was doing games for like Time Warner Cable. And I did a game on a Saturday at Cornell Hockey. And I'm not a big hockey guy. So I would like kind of muddled my way through it, figured it out. The next day, Doc Emrick did the game. the same series. It was like Colgate Cornell. Doc did it.

And I was like, yeah, I'm an idiot. I have no idea how to do this. Like you all think I'm horrible at this because Doc's the greatest. And I had to do the game the day before him.

Well, that that I don't know that I can help you with. But if you say it in a way that is like welcoming and understanding and you can be self-deprecating, too, I think, you know, people know, like as somebody who walks kind of funny, I'm not about to go and run the steeplechase. Right. So like that's not going to be a thing for me. So I just kind of do it in a self-deprecating way.
