The Sports-casters

Steve interviews Joe Buck (00:11:18) from ESPN and the play by play broadcaster for Monday Night Football. Joe joins us to talk about Monday Night Football and how things have settled for Troy and himself in year two.

Joe also tells stories about his father, hanging out with Eddie Vedder at the Sphere in Vegas, and bringing his young twins to Monday Night Football. Also, Jack McDowell is making his first appearance (01:02:20) on the podcast as part of our Pearl Jam Super Fan series. Jack talks about meeting Eddie Vedder in San Diego, getting in a bar fight with him in New Orleans, and being on stage with him in San Diego.
