Bait and Switch Podcast

This week, longtime guests and cycling experts, Tom Schuler and Mitch Teich join us for a movie review as we take a look at the 1982 film Diner! Mitch picked the movie and we chat about why he considers it the inaugural hangout movie, its classic Baltimore setting from director Barry Levinson, and the incredible ensemble of actors who made their film debuts or had breakout roles in it—including Paul Reiser, Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, Daniel Stern, Tim Daly, and Ellen Barkin. We share our favorite and least favorite characters, discuss classic scenes like Paul Reiser eyeing food on other people's plates, and revisit iconic lines from the movie. Plus, we take a quick detour to hear the story of how Mitch became a two-day Jeopardy! champion back in 1999 and his secret strategy for mastering the buzzer! All that and much, much more! Enjoy!

In this Bait and Switch Music episode, we're joined by former cycling champion Tom Schuler and Wauwatosa Mayor, Dennis McBride to talk about one of the most celebrated American songwriters in history, Paul Simon. We dive into the 40th anniversary of his landmark 1986 album Graceland, exploring its groundbreaking South African rhythms, its cultural impact, and Simon's iconic collaboration with Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Along the way, we trace Simon's career evolution from his 1950's origins with Art Garfunkel as "Tom & Jerry" in Queens to their rise during the 1960's folk era, and the creative tensions surrounding Bridge Over Troubled Water that led to their eventual breakup. We also explore his early doo-wop roots, his 1970's solo hits like "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard", and share some entertaining personal stories—from close celebrity encounters in New York City to an unexpected visit from Colonel Sanders!

We talk a little bit about our record-breaking season, but primarily focus on the upcoming playoff series. We discuss why this team is different than last year's team, whether the extended break is going to leave our team rested or rusty, and who is the better playoff matchup (at the time of recording, we didn't know our opponent). Along the way, we sprinkle in stories from Augie's playing days, along with our opinions on whether we'd rather have our team in the American League or the National League and of course, we make our predictions. All that and much, much more! Enjoy and Go Crew!
