I just met Iran Barkley...
 

I'm here at work (at the radio station) and the phone rings. I ask who it is "Iran Barkley" is the reply. So I let him in and rap with him a minute... He seems alright... He's here for an interview. He was talking about how Ray Lenard hates him for whooping Tommy Hearns' ass... :D

If you're working at this hour ... who the heck is going to interview Barkley (presumably if you're at work right now, you're on the air)

Color me one slightly confused old radio guy here.

I'm not on air. I'm monitoring right now, getting ready for board op-ing a show at 10. Barcley is here for a 11pm interview! Well... I guess he isn't gonna be late!

Okey-dokey, now I get it.

Damn, he must have thought your green room was the shiznit.

I once had to keep John Malkovich entertained for a few minutes waiting to go on-air. That was interesting.

I was at Drew Barrymore's 8th birthday party. She was taller than me, despite being two years younger.

Must have been the drugs.

Paul O'Neil once asked me for directions

I used to work in a hat store, and former NFL defensive back Anthony "Q" Newman bought a hat from me.

And it would've been more impressive if M GO BLUE!!!112!111 had met Charles Barkley, or maybe he if had met the entire country of Iran.

I'll be honest, I *still* don't know who Iran Barkley is. I'm guessing he's a pro wrestler?

No, she's a boxer.

Wow, I think it would have taken me a hundred guesses, at least, before I got that right.

My second guess would have been rapper.

I only know because of the Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns references in the original post.

The original post clearly makes Iran Barkley a "he" though, right? Was that a typo on your part, pumpy?

No, I was just being silly.

Doing a great job, too. :)

Well done. Don't make a habit of it or SkyDog will ban your ass for it

he was nicknamed the blade if that helps anyone remember him

Anyone remember that Barkley v Duran fight? They absolutely beat the living tar out of each other...I want to say it was back in '88 or '89...
