011 - Guest Emily Grodzik

We are back after a short break with the amazing Ariel Leaf! As she sips Jameson with a side of ginger ale and plays the green peg, we chat about Freshwater Theatre's Mrs. Charles, fine art, Varsity Football at South High, Comic Con, and play Social Media Quiz! We have a special delivery and announce "Cribbage Day in America" June 2nd at Lyon's Pub. Go Wild!

Emily Grodzik, actress and world traveler, lifts an Old Fashion and plays two-handed cribbage with AJ. What no Leif? Well...he shows up for the second half. We chat about Collide's Romeo and Juliet, training wild horses in Italy, and a bizarre bus ride in Belize.

Eric Eichenlaub, super fan of our podcast (and Chelsea soccer), sits down to celebrate our 10th episode. Eric tells us about his adventure riding across Minnesota on the back of a tandem bike, we talk a little Shakespeare, his love of English Football, and we bring back our favorite segment - Siri Says What??? Also we have a contest to win some tickets to Shrek the Musical at Children's Theatre Company. Enjoy!

Hannah Steblay, the fly, joins the game - knit hat and all. We talk Romeo and Juliet, sing some Smash Mouth, have a special phone in guest (Who could it be?) and Social Media Quiz. Go Badgers!

John Catron, adventurer and man of many talents, is in the house. John shares his experience hiking in the Grand Canyon, a horrifying mysterious light in the woods, and performing in Othello at the Guthrie. AJ and John try to explain the joy of fishing to Leif. Happy Birthday AJ!!!

Dann Krueger, international figure skating judge, plays the green peg. Dann explains the art of judging Synchronized Figure Skating, tells us about the Minnesota holiday Saint Urho’s Day, and we all sing a mash up of Annie Lennox and Queen. We introduce a new segment called “what the internet told me…” Oh and it’s Saint Patrick’s Day!

Sam Landman sits down for a few White Russians and a lively conversation about Charles Manson and The Beach Boys, theatre as an art form, the semi-autobiographical sci-fi book he's writing, and a rousing new segment called Did You Know? It's like an episode of "True Detective"...something something darkness something light. Finally Sam turns the tables on Leif and AJ, asking them a question based on the book "Fargo Rock City." Cheers!

The fabulous Bradley Greenwald joins Leif and AJ for a little cribbage and a few cocktails. Bradley shares his special Manhattan cocktail recipe, tells some tales from 10,000 Things Theater, and recalls a fateful night as a security guard. Along with some Oscar talk, a special call in guest, and a new segment called Social Media Quiz! Oh and also a little singing. Enjoy!

Leif and AJ welcome the lovely and funny Bonni Allen. Listen for our Oscar picks, the download on Funporium, Yellow Tree Theater, and a new segment called Siri Says WHAT!!.

Leif and AJ welcome Zach Curtis actor, director, and all around good guy to the cribbage board.
