I met Sam Tallent the first time several years ago when I was a judge at Open Screen Night. He and two other members of The Fine Gentleman’s Club were hosts, and I was the only one – judge or host – who wasn’t a professional comedian. I was but a lowly blogger at the…

Dude, it’s SPILLY! Ryan Spilborghs is one of my all-time Top 3 favorite Rockies (the other two, since you’re likely wondering, are Todd Helton and Nolan Arenado).

What are three of the things I love most? Punk rock. Radio. Denver. So, if I’m celebrating my 6-year anniversary of being a show, I’m doing it in style with a dude hugely responsible for Denver being such an amazing music town. I’ve got NERF from 93.3 KTCL talking with me (remotely, of course) about…
