This week on Sideline Stories, Tricia and Sydney sit down with one of the most iconic voices in sports broadcasting — Joe Buck. From calling unforgettable World Series walk-offs to navigating the unprecedented moment of Damar Hamlin’s on-field collapse, Joe opens up about his journey from Indiana University student to the voice of Monday Night Football.

You’ll hear stories about:

• Joe's unconventional path through IU and how he landed his first major league gig

• What it really takes to prepare for a Monday Night Football broadcast

• His thoughts on staying silent in powerful sports moments — and when to speak

• Memories from the old Yankee Stadium, the Cubs’ World Series win, and The Masked Singer (yes, really)

• Why the DeMar Hamlin game was his most meaningful moment on air

Plus, Tricia and Sydney share their own early broadcasting struggles, swap stories on fake-it-til-you-make-it moments, and dig into what it really means to grow behind the mic.

🎧 Whether you're a student of the game, a fan of the craft, or just want to hear Joe Buck say “yes, I did The Masked Singer,” this episode is a must-listen.
