Who doesn't love a good YouTube video? On this episode of Bring In The Backups, I talk to no guests, chat about the criminally under-rated Matt Flynn, and most importantly, record the entire thing on video and post it on my YouTube page. The fans and guests have been on me for a while now to start recording these bad boys, so I finally did it. This will be the norm moving forward! Matt Flynn is a great topic for the show. Cowboys comeback. 6 TD game. Super Bowl champ and a National Champion at LSU. This guy made the most of his talents. You should watch me talk about him by subscribing to my YouTube page!

In this episode of Bring In The Backups, Erick is stricken with Covid 19. All plans for the episode come to a screeching stop, guests are cancelled, and Erick takes 40 minutes to answer some voicemails for the show. Topics include but are not limited to Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard, red flags, USFL games, having Covid, and whether or not Erick should give his podcast equipment and let the show be re-branded "Bring In The Riddles". It's catchy. To support this show, you can review us 5 star on Apple Podcasts, or call into the show at 323-716-6072 and leave me a voicemail.

Curtis Painter works for Indiana Liquor Group. Before that, he worked for Mustard Seed Gardens. And before that, he was a NFL quarterback. On this podcast, we cover all three in a deep dive on the man that once held off Dan Orlovsky for 8 glorious weeks in 2011. Dude had a cannon. Boilermaker for life. The Curtis Painter story is a tale worth telling. Liz Galalis drops in on the podcast for a bit to help field some voicemails from Backup Nation. I also take some time to talk about filming a short stand-up special last week, the latest Blake Bortles snub, Dwayne Haskins, Matty Ice, getting too high and why people who put chips in their brain aren't relatable. A quick hour with some big laughs. Hope you check it out.

The Rams won the Super Bowl. On this history making episode of Bring In The Backups, I conduct interviews with Rams fan and comedian/writer Rob Stern (Adventure Beast) and writer/musician Andrew Paulsen (American Horror Story). I think it's also fair to say that "conduct interviews" is a stretch. I say the word "dude" pretty much every other sentence. With Rob, we talk about the Rams, Cooper Kupp, play Whitney Houston or Scott Stapp, and answer some VM's from fans of the show. Andrew and I talk about the mood in Cincinnati after the loss, MAC football (I just can't help myself), the future of The Bengals and more. We also talk about his music.

This episode of Bring In The Backups is all Blake Bortles. BB was thrown into a tough situation in Jacksonville, but a mere 4 years in, he had them at the doorstep. Blake Bortles also once torched TB12. He's also been replaced by Nick Foles...no shame there. We cover Blake Bortles's UCF career, the Jags uniforms, The Good Place getting a little preachy, Covid tests, The Idaho Vandals arena, Sac State, opening for Bengt Washburn, Joe Burrow being cool, Jimmy G being hot, NFL OT vs. NCAA OT, small airplanes in fog, my friends on the Opening Kickoff Podcast, & more. After that, I chat with Joe Schiappa about movies, comedy, working together in NYC, and his new podcast Pay or Request.

What a fun show chatting about Frank Reich. He's one religious, German guy that Bill Polian once called the greatest backup quarterback in NFL history. Yeah, Nick Foles and Charlie Batch got something to say about that, but still, no one is arguing with the comeback. All time great, and don't forget those 7 starts with the Jets and the first TD pass in Panthers history. Lucas Hazlett comes on the show and we talk about Fox News, friendship, Frank Reich's name, Frank Reich trivia, Nickelback, answer Bring In The Backups Voicemails, 80's football and basketball, NFL playoffs and more. Shout out to my friends Mandy, Matt, Gary & Liz. That's it. Fun episode, hope you enjoy!

On this episode of the podcast, I cancel the podcast because my grandfather died and this is just a podcast. But I talk for ten minutes, so hopefully that doesn't suck. I give a quick shout-out to my friend Ryan Neser and his great show at The Cellar Door in Frederick, MD. I also talk about an appearance I made on MTV talking about my late grandfather. I also question if Bobby Hebert is French, getting a stomach bug, old episodes of my show, and starting 2022 off with a bang.
