Move over Puff Daddy P Diddy Sean Combs Diddy! DJ Ruth Flowers is in the house! Man how old am I? 'In the house?' Do kids still say that these days? I should probably just email DJ Ruth. 160% chance she will know something cooler to say anyway.
Honestly how awesome is this story. From the shades to the bedazzled headphones. To steal a line from Spinal Tap, DJ Ruth's 'badassness' goes to 11. I even watched a 60 second ad at the beginning before the story started just because the title intrigued me that much. And while the beginning of the story was hilarious she had me at the "I rather think I dooo" line at the :38 second mark. Brillant. Just the perfect balance of cockiness and sweet grandma-ness. I've used this line at least 17 times already this morning:
Eddie: I don't think you want to be napping while your supposed to me on the air.
Me: I rather think I do.
Eddie: I don't think you want to miss breaks because you are pre-ranking fantasy baseball players.
Me: I rather think I do.
Eddie: The Brewers suck. Don't you just want to give up on them and root for the Cubs instead?
Me. I rather think I do.
Yeah he got me on that last one. Well played Edgar. Needless to say I'm tendering my resignation today. There is absolutely no reason I should have a job in broadcasting and DJ Ruth doesn't. To deprive the world of that? I don't think I could live with myself. Bonus word: ruth.
PS: Notice that I was actually on a NEWS site to find this?! And it wasn't even a link from milwaukeebrewers.com or espn.com. That=maturation.
PPS: Truth be told I went to ESPN's website and got the "Internet Explorer cannot display page" notice. Naturally I panicked and somehow ended up on CBS's news page.
