Producer

AKA: Jonny Laaser (Yeah, we still haven't come up with anything better)

With the FAN since: 2001

Most memorable FAN moment: Well, most aren’t suited for this family based forum, but one I can tell occurred at Harvey’s downtown where the Rat Pack was congregating one evening. Doogie is of course hitting on a girl out of his league in the corner (pre-girlfriend of course, I heard he may have one now,) and Justin Gaard doing a Chad Hartman play-by-play impersonation of him getting shot down. “Doogie all alone in the corner with so and so…So and so looking for her friends for help…It’s not coming…You get the idea.

The best movie scene of all-time is : Without a doubt, it’s from the movie Rudy, when the actor I like to remember as Roc lectures Rudy about quitting the team. “You’re five feet nothing, a hundred and nothing, and you hung in with the best college team in the land for two years.” “And on top of that, you’re gonna walk out of here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame.” “Kid, you don’t got to prove nothing to nobody except yourself, and if you haven’t done that yet, it ain’t never gonna happen."

Or something like that. Anyway, it reminds me that while I have no physical ability, and a poor work ethic, somehow I’ve hung in there with the best sports radio station in the land for five years. Unfortunately I won’t walk away from here with a degree or for that matter, ANYTHING!

If everybody at the FAN was locked in a house, reality show style, who would be the first to get kicked out?: Well, if the interns were allowed to participate, and got even a half a vote apiece at the rose ceremony, Cory Roufs wouldn’t even be seen on the first episode. For some reason, and I can’t put my finger on exactly why, they tend to have a little animosity towards Mr. Roufs.

If no interns, it may just be me. That is if people somehow soured on my sunny disposition on life.

What is the best feature of KFAN.com?: Bump’s Blog. As someone who enjoys cynical diatribes on the state of sport and life in general, no one does it better than Bump. It gives those of us who grew up hoping for the local nine to lose just for the venom that was sure to follow in his column, somewhat of an outlet. Besides, I thought we covered this when we filled these things out in 87’…Rube Chat, NEVER AGAIN!

What is your favorite button bar drop of all time?: Puffy! It encompasses so many aspects of what we do, there really is no wrong time to hit the “Puffy” button. Anything embarrassing, Puffy! Anything exciting, Puffy! Anything related to food, girth, buffets, or being swishy, Puffy! Oh, you gotta love the fluff.

Who is your favorite FAN caller of all time: Much like rube chat, I don’t like to credit or single out rubes for their lunacy and baseless rants. With that said, you really can’t make up Walter “The Secretary of Insight.” Go Walter, Go!

When you are done at the FAN what will you be doing?: Done at the Fan! Why, did you hear something? Is it over? No, hopefully when I walk out through the pearly gates for the last time, I’ll be heading for a big time play-by-play job somewhere, but who knows. I could very well be heading down to Culvers to work as a fry cook for Davy Jo Simser.

And in closing...: Yeah, it’s been like seven years since we updated these pages, and I’m still in the exact same place. So much for ambition and being goal oriented I guess. See ya in 2012.
