In episode 30 of Neighborhood Play, Danny and Tyler catch up with Danny's old friend Robert Stein. Robert was a kicker for the Akron Zips and shared his incredibly unique story during the course of our conversation. Robert's Zips career got off to a rough start, as he lost his scholarship to another kicker. Not one to wallow in pity, he put his head down and worked diligently to reclaim his starting position. Stein talked to us about the art of kicking in general, including the differences of making a kick when the game is on the line versus the run of the mill extra point. He also told us some juicy gossip about Danny as a pre-school playboy. This episode features music from the band Eisley, who are Danny's current employers. Eisley are now out on their "I'm Only Dreaming" Tour, spanning the whole United States. Catch Danny at South By Southwest this week and give him your hottest take. *** Neighborhood Play is a podcast designed to explore the cultural connections that link cities, teams, and fandoms.
