Doug Vaughn spent 30+ years on television in St. Louis. Apparently that still wasn’t enough punishment, because now he’s doing PAFO.
The longtime St. Louis sportscaster joins Chris, KG and Zoë and they take a look back on his broadcasting career, from making $9,600 a year at his first television job in Rochester, Minnesota, to working in Miami and eventually spending more than three decades at KMOV.
He talks about covering some of the biggest moments in St. Louis sports history, including the Rams winning the Super Bowl, the Cardinals’ World Series runs and the Blues finally winning the Stanley Cup. He also explains why he doesn't think St. Louis will ever get another NFL team.
But this is PAFO, so eventually the conversation gets considerably less professional.
Doug weighs in on whether people deserve second chances after being jerks online, discusses kink shaming, hears about salmon being stored next to communion bread, considers the culinary possibilities of peanut butter and mayonnaise, and receives an extremely questionable message from Tony Big Toes.
Doug reveals that apparently showing people his “PAFO” was something he only did during his drunken college days for a few extra bucks.
It’s two of St. Louis sports history, broadcasting stories, generational disagreements and the kind of conversations that probably explain why Doug spent 34 years working in television before finally deciding he’d had enough.
This is PAFO with Doug Vaughn.
