[edit] Battle of the Halfwits
Crane used to be a weekly participant each week on Battle of the Halfwits on the Dave Glover Show. He has not been in any matches for 2007. He has won the title on several occasions. The first time he won the title was in July of 2006 but was forced into defending the title the next day (winners are champions for a week as the game is played every Tuesday) in which he was defeated. Crane was very upset and voice his unhappiness at only getting a one day reign as opposed to a week. A listener named "Kenny" phoned in to tell Crane to cheer up because he was the "People's Champion." Crane was suspended numerous times from competing in the Battle of the Halfwits due to use of abusive language and poor sportsmanship. Crane was suspended for one year because he wore a pink shirt while competing in Halfwits.
On 17 April 2007 Crane made his return to the Battle of the Halfwits arena. He finished second. One week later on the 24th Crane won the game in just his second game back from suspension.

[edit] Controversies
During an airing of the Dave Glover show, just hours after Anna Nicole Smith's death, Durham called Smith a "whore", said she "sat on a corpse" for money (referring to her marriage to J. Howard Marshall) and implied that there was something "not right" with her relationship to her recently deceased son. [1]
[edit] Rickrolling
Crane and his co-host Jamie Allman find it necessary to rickroll guests frequently even though this fad has long since become uncool. Said occurrences of rickrolling are usually followed by Beavis and Butthead style laughter.
