The I-5 Corridor Traffic Report went for a field trip this week.

With the Super Bowl coming up on Sunday, I spent a couple of hours earlier in the week over at Lombard House, home of the North Portland Bird Watchers Society, where I sat down with owner Brian Koch and regular Nick Calcaterra — the older brother of Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra — to talk about the big game, the Eagles, what it’s like to go to the Super Bowl as a sibling, Gardner Minshew’s bathrobe, that one time DJ Khaled opened up the Eagles’ post-Super Bowl loss party with an interesting choice of song and how this video of Nick celebrating Grant’s first career touchdown ended up on Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast:

We also take a moment to remember Lynn Kindrachuk, an important figure of the Philadelphia and Lombard House community, who passed away earlier this week.

For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or find us over on Apple or Spotify.

Editor’s note: The Traffic Report’s next episode of The Replayables will be released on Friday.

Also, a note about this podcast: We recorded at the bar over a couple of drinks. There might be a swear word or three. I apologize in advance.
