Podcast Hell with Erick Hellwig

On this episode of Bring In The Backups, I talk about Hawaii like I've never been on a vacation before. I go sans guest on this bad boy and focus on a Hawaii Rainbow Warriors legend with a Timmy Chang deep dive. I shout out the Aloha Comedy Festival and talk about Best Of The Fest, Jurassic Park, Hawaiian luau's, Timmy Chang kinda looking like a deer, the Hamilton Tiger Cats, John Navarre, St. Louis High School quarterbacks, thick bodied men, tropical environments, Hawaii's old uniforms and more.

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 He's also been replaced by Nick Foles...no shame there.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.

Caleb Hanie will get respect, or I'll quit this podcast tomorrow and move to Alaska. I'll give it a few weeks and let everyone make up their mind as to whether of not they respect Caleb Hanie. Till then, here's the episode description. Erick talks about a Lions victory, a Cincinnati Bearcats CFP appearance, getting a booster shot, Army-Navy, Chanukah, Kate Gaffney's Service From Hell podcast, Caleb Hanie's college career, the 2010 NFC Championship, BJ Raji's touchdown and more. Then Erick interviews Steven Lolli (The No Idea Zone podcast).

Joey Harrington is a name that will ring our in glory on Oregon forever. Not so much in Detroit, and that's because the Lions front office and organization as a whole is insane. Luckily for Joey, and the world, Thanksgiving 2006 was Vengeance Day, and we got the deep dive here. This pod is a solo episode that covers the college career of Joey Harrington, his Ted Talk, not crying and talking at the same time, the YouTube page with Backup Quarterback Highlights, how to pronounce Justin Herbert's name, Dre Bly being a bitch, gluten free pumpkin pie, how to plan Thanksgiving dinner, Detroit Lions coaches, Dan Campbell's looks, spending time in the hospital, and Joey Harrington's Miami Dolphins smacking down the Lions on Thanksgiving in 2006...the ultimate revenge game. I also chat about my time in the Boston Comedy Festival and getting into SF Sketchfest. Support this podcast at ErickHellwig.com.

The day has finally come. Nick Foles has his first stand-alone episode of the podcast. Big Dick Nick himself. Obviously I didn't get the real Nick Foles on the podcast, but I talk about him a lot on this one. I also talk about Aaron Rodgers, how little I know about COVID, Henry Ruggs III, driving drunk in college, the Army vs. Air Force game, Loudermilk, Ritch Ruiz making burritos, the CFP, Barely Making It LA and my upcoming trip to Massachusetts for the Boston Comedy Festival. This is a mindless podcast but I had a good time making myself laugh. Support the show by reviewing it here. Support me by following my tour dates here. That is all. Nick Foles Forever.

Dan Marino once said Jeff Blake had the best deep ball he'd ever seen. Too be fair, Dan Marino also said after his rookie year Super Bowl "I'll be back", so not everything he said was true, but he had a point with the Jeff Blake thing. Jeff Blake lit the league in fire in 1995 with the Bengals, and was the the lone bright spot on a miserable team for years. He then traversed the league as primarily a back-up after that, leading to a 14 year career that included stops in New York, New Orleans, Arizona, Baltimore, Philly and Chicago. Dude goes down as one of the most under-rated QB's in NFL history, and my guest Colby Dant (Sports Gambling Podcast Network, The College Football Experience), a ECU grad just like JB, is the perfect guest to talk about him. We also talk about a bunch of other stuff. This podcast also includes a deep dive on the movie Rudy with comedian Liz Galalis (The Joel McHale Show, When Nature Calls). She thinks Rudy sucks. She makes an argument I'm loathed to say...makes sense.
