[SPEAKER_10]: Was that a young Ernie Anderson you played at the front of the show today?

[SPEAKER_12]: I do remember this guy as he had earned the Anderson quality.

[SPEAKER_10]: Man, you know, doesn't exist any more just to add it to the list of things that it doesn't.

[SPEAKER_10]: There were guys, chain smokers out in Los Angeles that were usually DJs that they hired to do these promos and the more gravelly and lower your voice, you know, Don La Fontaine.

[SPEAKER_10]: Don La Fontaine.

[SPEAKER_10]: Don La was the in a world guy in a world.

[SPEAKER_10]: And they just were, who is the guy?

[SPEAKER_10]: I know Joe Sipriano still with us right and he did a lot of voiceovers.

[SPEAKER_10]: There was another guy, a radio guy that passed away too, but he was a Billy big voice.

[SPEAKER_12]: Was it Sean Hall?

[SPEAKER_12]: It was just not not shunnel.

[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, man.

[SPEAKER_10]: I grew up in that era.

[SPEAKER_10]: I grew up in that era where it was the Billy Big Voices where the guys you wanted to emulate.

[SPEAKER_12]: I love I love the voices.

[SPEAKER_12]: You know, I Uh, one of the great regrets I had is when I used to run board for the Stern Show.

[SPEAKER_12]: Don partos niece.

[SPEAKER_12]: I can't think of her name right now, but it was Don Parto's niece was an employee at K Rock, and I called her once, and I said, does Mr. Parto do like just any independent things?

[SPEAKER_12]: She said, call him up and see if he will.

[SPEAKER_12]: He might say your name for a hundred bucks.

[SPEAKER_12]: And I just thought, oh, God, how awesome would it be to have Don Parto's saying your name?

[SPEAKER_12]: And I never followed through and then he died.

[SPEAKER_12]: So, I mean, that's, I got that closed like reaching out, but I was also nervous because you don't want to bother the guy.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, you know, it was, I love those, those big, they're very similar to the old, old timey sports broadcasts that were around back in, you know, my dad's day.

[SPEAKER_12]: So you have a favorite big voice of them all?

[SPEAKER_10]: I have a favorite, it's, it's teared.

[SPEAKER_10]: with me.

[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_10]: The Ernie Anderson is, I think, the gold standard for me because he would do he had the the swagger and the attitude and he was he had that delightful DJ phoniness that was because of that.

[SPEAKER_12]: He worked when he did booth for radio stations like he did the top hour for Z100.

[SPEAKER_10]: from the top of the empire state bill just you know nobody better as far as I was as far as sports broadcasters he wasn't a Billy big voice but I don't you know really when I look back on it because he he meant the the the greats mentored him Vin Scully yeah

[SPEAKER_10]: I don't think there was anybody better on radio than that.

[SPEAKER_10]: That's an outstanding answer.

[SPEAKER_10]: A guy, a guy that worked radio, and then TV for Boston, Ned Martin, and then the two distinctive guys for the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, the if you can look up Schirm Feller.

[SPEAKER_12]: Sure, I believe related to Bob Feller, the Baszard.

[SPEAKER_10]: I know.

[SPEAKER_10]: But I think Sherman Feller was his name, and it was, you know, nobody for the Red Sox.

[SPEAKER_10]: And then the great, great, great guy from the Yankees.
