"I've never had more fun," says Joe B.
ReplyDeleteI love Joe B. and Denny, and the show. It is the one show I don’t have to jump up and turn off when the grandkids are here. I don’t know where the next batch of sportsfans are going to come from because we can’t let the kids watch or listen to most of the shows. I do have to turn off Joe B. and Denny when the next show comes on. And the commercials on the World Series for instance, absolutely inappropriate for under 21’s, actually i’d be embarassed to watch them woith anyone. Please keep going guys you are a vanishing breed!!!
ReplyDeleteTony Something, the great third host of the show, just told a great story about Denny doing the show on a cell phone from a duck blind one time and interrupting a story on air to shoot at ducks flying overhead.
ReplyDeleteWe've got about 15 minutes left here, and I think it's possible that Joe B is going to go out with a bang. Just before the last commercial bumper, he went into a thing about the station being contractually obligated to provide 14 days' notice that they were taking the show off the air. You could hear the nervousness rising in Tony's voice before he was saved by the break.
ReplyDelete"We're going to miss this year's basketball season, because both UK and Louisville are going to be ranked and it's going to be exciting."
ReplyDeleteOh, man, Tony's signing off before the last 10 minutes and turning it over to Dave, the guy who was third before Tony joined the broadcast several years ago.
ReplyDelete"I love you, and I'll do anything for you," says Tony.
Here's Mark Story.
ReplyDeleteMark Story of the Lexington Herald-Leader thanks the coaches for "doing a service for the state." Story remembers one time when Joe B defended Denny on the air for saying that Junior Bridgeman was a better player than Kevin Grevey and another when Denny defended Joe B for doing what he believed was best for UK by not playing Louisville in the regular season.
ReplyDeleteJoe B: "We set an example, and it was an easy one. Denny and I were friends when we were competing. We both love the outdoors ... I can't imagine two people having more parallel lives than Denny and I have had. We worked under two of the greatest coaches of all time. He worked for John Wooden, and I worked for who I think was the greatest coach of all time, Adolph Rupp. ... We're like brothers."
"The feeling's mutual," Denny says.
This is sweet.
Oh, great. Dave's back with his "inserts" from Billy Bob Thornton's character on Swing Blade. I had forgotten about these awful things, and they're every bit as funny now as they were then.
ReplyDeleteCool! Darrell Griffith!
Joe B remembers Mel Turpin.
ReplyDeleteMan.
"We hate to break it up," says Joe B.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's that.
ReplyDeleteDave comes back ... "Hey, my clock was off. We've got two minutes left."
ReplyDeleteWell, this is pretty funny. Now Joe B's back to thanking various groups of people who came on the show over the years ... "we had race-car drivers ... fencers ... a little girl who caught a muskie at Cave Run ... we had so many special guests ... the young lady who's such a boxing star ... on and on ..."
ReplyDeleteAnd now here's "Yackety Sax," so I think we're coming to the actual end now.
Denny adds thanks to Kroger, Rafferty's, City Barbecue ... and now Dave has to cut them off to end the last show.
