239. K Jay the Comedian Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

K Jay is a stand up comedian, an actor, and a writer in the Twin Cities. K Jay found his way into the Twin Cities through basketball when he came up to the cities looking to play in the NBA for the Timberwolves in the 90s. Shortly after he became a teacher and, after the recession in 2008, he found comedy. K Jay's experience in comedy through the last decade was a treat to hear. Not to mention he was the first comic to give Declan his first show. This man is littered with nostalgic stories which made for a great podcast. Enjoy!

238. the Broshat Brothers Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

Matt and Mike Broshat are twin brothers who recently finished hiking the Pacific Crest Trail - a 2652 mile hike that starts in El Campo, Mexico and travels along the Pacific Coast all the way to the US/Canada Border. With trail names like Store Brand (Matt) and Trash Can (Mike), you will soon realize these guys made the most of every resource they had on the trip making for some great stories. With only 25% of people successfully finishing the PCT, it was very impressive to hear how two brothers who've never hiked before accomplish the trail in 6 months time.

Gabe is a dear friend of ours as he is Declan's high school friend, founder of "Gabey Days" - a well-known Twin Cities gathering any time Gabe comes into town (typically happens annually), and co-owner of both a fantasy football team and one Applebees franchise with Declan. We catch up with Gabe reflecting on what it's like to be a friend to Declan, what it's like to have a significantly deeper voice than most people, and how Gabe's view of Backpocket has evolved over the past 2 and a half years.

Show notes

We just booked our finale podcast of this year LIVE @ Sisyphus Brewery 11/15 @ 9 PM and we're very stoked. Given the big news, we unpack everything from how we're going to promote the show to creating prop bets on the things we will undoubtedly say during the live show. Other discussions include the insanity that went down with our first ever Backpocket blind date, Andrew's accident running up the stairs, and give our ToJo 2k19 predictions.

Ayo is a former defensive lineman for the University of St. Thomas and current co-founder of Line of Scrimmage LLC - a coaching and consulting group in MN. Ayo joined a University of St. Thomas football program that was in it's 2nd year under Coach Glenn Caruso when the tradition, pageantry, and passion was nowhere near it is today. With the recent news of UST potentially going D1, we reflect on the years we experienced at UST and how that will impact the bigger picture of what's to come.
