He has gone on to have a Doctorate in Psychology and continues to entertain millions from his own theater in Branson Missouri .We had a nice chat and then I found an old recording of a song he released in the late 80's called "What A Country" (his catch phrase) and it is full of jokes... Enjoy!He did really great standup comedy.

As we all shelter indoors, Deano reminds us that staying in the house is probably still cozier than cramming into a rented 1974 station wagon with an entire basketball team, their luggage, and Hank Anderson's nickel cigars.  In Episode 3 we discuss a long line of Bobcat basketball coaches, as well as revisit some of the sideline luminaries who got their start in the Big Sky. Dean gives us a front-row seat for some of the league's finest sideline tantrums, and a memorable night for a Portland opera diva. By request we discuss some of the finest hairstyles in Bobcat hoops history, Dr. Doom's sweet ride, and Jeff Riggs' pet pig. Download for the Yakov Smirnoff cameo, and stick around to hear about my nearly 80-year old dad beating up a rock star. Dean and I appreciate every download, and if you have half as much fun listening to it as we do recording it then it will have been well worth your while. Stay safe... ka
