Minneapolis/St. Paul -- The Sports Leader

 
 
 
 


 
 

Host, FAN Outdoors

AKA: The "Captain"

With the FAN since: Since close to the beginning of the FAN era...or about 14 years

Most memorable FAN moment: Broadcasting from the ice on Gull Lake w/ Mr. Phunn. While attempting to stay warm in below zero temps fired up a sunflower heater. Not only did I start myself on fire but also melted the headphone cable. Can’t remember anything about the fish but the memory of burning plastic and bibs is vivid!

The best movie scene of all-time is: Bigmouth (a Classic) by Glen Lau - Where else can you watch a Largemouth consume a live baby duck or inhale and blow out a plastic worm without feeling the bite.

If everybody at the FAN was locked in a house, reality show style, who would be the first to get kicked out?: Definitely SuperStar—for occupying space and nutrition required by two more “normal” Fan personalities

What is the best feature of KFAN.com?: Definitely the Jingle Bank. I have friends who leave it open all the time just to get their point across from their desk at work. Just goes to prove that the Fan would make a better “Boss” than many out there now.

What is your favorite button bar drop of all time?: What’s a button Bar? Better yet who even cares?

Who is your favorite FAN caller of all time: Has to be the guy who accused us of being “Cave dwelling, raw meat-eating slugs” and then hung up. He was a Republican stumping for George Bush and I was offering an on-air endorsement of the guy before the last presidential election. Not sure what that says for Republicans as a whole. Scary though!

When you are done at the FAN what will you be doing?: You’ll find me in the middle of a Wildlife Management Area dressed in camo muttering to myself with a cattail for a mic and wondering if anyone can hear me or if the line’s “dropped again!”

And in closing...: Make time to take a kid huntin’ or fishin’ -- chances are if you don’t nobody else will!!!!
