Some of the highlights from Barker’s “audition tape” for the Boys in Bristol:
“Before anyone had heard of Michael Jordan, they were calling me ‘Air Barker’.”
“I would fit in with the ESPN staff. I am inadequate.”
“…the enemy heard that I was coming out, and they surrendered. And that was the end of World War II.”
“Adam Sandler’s a big star now…and nobody heard of him until I beat him up in ‘Happy Gilmore‘.”
