I was able to find a couple minutes to sit down with the reigning champion, Jason "The Mechanic" Raabe for a couple minutes to discuss his big win last year. I'm surprised I was able to get any time at all considering his schedule that includes 4 full time jobs, a newlywed wife, and a 15 hour a week practice session on Guitar Hero.
DTM: Jason, thanks for spending some time with us today.
JR: Not a problem, but can we keep it short I have to get to work soon.
DTM: At the Garage?
JR: No
DTM: Golf Course?
JR: No
DTM: Hardware Store?
JR: No, I'm dedicating some of the down time I have to mountain biking and I thought what a great opportunity it would be for me to start learning bike repair. I work at Erik's Bike shop on Thursday from 1:00 to 1:30.
DTM: Ok, I'll keep this short.
DTM: Congratulations on your second dart championship in 3 years. Tell me what it felt like to bring home the trophy.
JR: Well, it's kind of like hearing a Chevy 454 big block turn over for the first time.
DTM: Interesting.
DTM: How about this year's tourney? Do you feel any additional pressure knowing that everyone will be gunning for you.
JR: When you've played expert level "Iron Man" on Guitar Hero with no mistakes you don't spend a bunch of time worrying about pressure.
DTM: Any concern about beating "Multiplying" Mike Crown?
JR: That Cheesehead? Please
DTM: By the way congratulations on your marriage to Jenny.
JR: Thanks, There was a lot of confusion regarding her last name so it just became easier to marry her.
JR: I better get going. When you only have a half hour to work you can't be late.
DTM: Thanks for the time and good luck.
