#30: St. Paddy’s Day & The Debut of Commercial Backstory

March 17, 2017 by bullshowandy Leave a Comment

St. Patrick’s Day is upon us. Andy and Nick talk about their weekend plans (very binary in terms of debauchery), play a lot of bagpipe music, Andy tries to recreate the criminal island of Australia in North America, Trefoil Girl Scout cookies suck, Surdyk’s jumped the shark on Sunday Sales, and what is the proper stripper music? Plus the debut of Commercial Backstory. The guys watch a commercial and Andy relays the life story of the participants. Also Twin Cities strip clubs are gross according to the health department. SHOCKER.

Mark Schofield is a writer, author, and co-founder of Inside the Pylon. Unhappy with his career in law, Mark and a number of football writers decided to go YOLO on the bit and launch their own site. He and Andy chatted about that decision, his career as a 5’5″ quarterback at Wesleyan (Bill Belichick’s alma mater), the emotional roller coaster of watching the Super Bowl as a Patriots fan, and how the sports media landscape has changed. For better and for worse.

We had rockstar audio engineer Veronica Rodriguez (@MexiVrod) of MPR in the building to chat about her new gig, working with KFAN and doing Minnesota Vikings games, and the day-to-day of traveling and being around the team (Cordarrelle is as cool as you think). Plus she schools Andy on the finer points of boxing and other various combat sports and why she won’t even purchase the McGregor-Mayweather pay per view if the fight goes down.

The Golden State Warriors blew a 1-point lead Friday night to the Minnesota Fightin’ Timberwolves at Target Center in front of a historic capacity crowd. Andy was at the game and relays his experiences with the high school concessions and his adventure getting home with a conveniently dead phone (at 40%) and a complimentary town car with ZERO hookers. Also Uncle Nick and Andy go through why BBQ is great, daylight savings is BS, state tournament hockey hair is awesome, and the kids invading dad’s BBC interview was hilarious.

NFL free agency officially opened for business on Thursday afternoon. Many of the deals were already sealed during the “legal tampering” period, but a lot of fun action was still to be had. The Minnesota Vikings shored up one tackle position with Riley Reiff coming over from Detroit, but was it considered a win by the fanbase? Andy discusses that and covers the big free agent splashes around the league.

America’s favorite new game show How Old They Be returns with a rousing Sitcom Dads edition. Andy complains that there’s no Alan Thicke on the list (RIP), makes fun of Nick’s upcoming bro date to see some random anime movie, and chastises Nick for thinking he would borrow Nick’s Gallagher DVDs. To watch.

The Twin Cities radio industry is an interesting beast, and Chris Reuvers (@ChrisReuvers) has worked in the belly of said beast for the better part of two decades. I had Chris on to talk about his trek from an intern interviewee who didn’t know where to park, through all the various industry roles to his spot now as producer/co-producer/random on Garage Logic, SportsTalk, and The Ride with Reusse on 1500 ESPN.

We also detoured into some Vikings talk, why town baseball is underrated, Chris’ favorite Patrick Reusse/Joe Soucheray story, and why local talk radio will always have a role even as technology changes the audio landscape. Also the legendary Jiffy Burger at Blue Door Pub remains undefeated.

Check out Chris weekly on 1500 ESPN’s The Beer Show.

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway has hung em up after 11-seasons with the Vikings. We remember Chad for his leadership on the field and in the community. #52 is still going to do a lot of good for the Twin Cities. An All-Sports Tuesday: I dove into reports of Adrian Peterson willing to take less to play with the Patriots, why only two teams can draft Joe Mixon, wonder aloud how the Browns could possibly screw up the Myles Garrett pick, and John Ross declines the chance to win an island for very practical reasons.

Sid Hartman still does what he loves at 96 years old. We’ve all got Sid jokes, but the man deserves respect for coming out and crushing it with people 1/4 of his age. Uncle Nick and I take a look at the Today Show piece on him from Sunday, who the hell watches the Today Show during the week, recap Mugsy’s first swimming lesson, and I complain about people who NEED to talk on the phone.
