Summary

On this episode, Tas interviews Larry French, a veteran camera operator, about his 25-year career including how he got his break in the sports industry, filming the infamous Al Horford's brother-cheerleader-sideline video, the Uber/ridesharing problem at Truist Park, the time he lied to Bill Murray, filming on a Black Hawk helicopter, how he ‘got Guy Fieri on The Starters’, getting the crew into Drai's nightclub in Las Vegas when they couldn't get in, how kind Wayne Gretzky was to him, getting former president Jimmy Carter on the 'Kiss Cam', and whether he's ever been more confident in a baseball team like he is about the 2023 Atlanta Braves. All that, plus French counts down his 'Top 5 Moments in TV' featuring Freddie Freeman, Alex Rodriguez, Chipper Jones and others. 👕 Buy No Dunks merch at BreakingT: https://www.nodunks.com 📈 Subscribe to No Dunks on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NoDunksInc 🗞️ Subscribe to The Athletic: http://www.theathletic.com/nodunks 🤔 New Is [This] Good? podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@isthisgood ⚾️ No Bunts with Tas and Joel talkin' baseball: https://bit.ly/3rzZI9t Get a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase at athleticgreens.com/nodunks Learn more about your ad choices.
