DORK - Mark Rosen
The fine line between "Awkward & Awesome" continues with Hall of Famer, Mark Rosen! Learn how "dorky" little Marky Rosen was before becoming "Little Marky Rosen". How he worried about actually becoming Governor of Minnesota, his run-ins with Sofia Loren and Mohammed Ali (both in an elevator) that made him "dork out", how radio has bailed him out multiple times in his career, and his key to longevity in broadcasting! He is as large a personality as he is a DORK!
DORK - Chris Hawkey
Again we discover the fine line between awkward and awesome! This time with KFAN's/Power Trip's/VEN's/Vikings Radio Network's/Amsoil's/Chris Hawkey Band's....Chris Hawkey. Learn about Hawk's "Daisey Dudes" that almost exposed his "Boys", his sing over the lyrics to show my love for you "mixtapes", how a simple dorky thing he did as an 8 year old kid helped him in his career, his friends Mike Hunt & Mike Cox from Indiana, and details behind Twin Cities Summer Jam.
DORK - Mark Parrish
This episode my guest is Mark Parrish! Parrish played 11 seasons in the NHL (including for the WILD) and now works for the NHL Network. Mark tells the story of how he "Dork'd Out" on the ice, during a game with Wayne Gretzky! How he was a DORK hanging out with Garth Brooks, the fact he and his wife fell in love because they were both "such nerds", his friendship with the band Nickleback, his DORKDOM that lead to "Fookey"and of course the DORKY things he did as a kid to become an NHLer!
DORK - Meatsauce 1-17
My Guest this time around is Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert from KFAN's Power Trip Morning Show! Paul and I talk about his skate boarding days - more like the fact he was terrible at skate boarding but had all the gear, how his scary appearance and scarier voice made me afraid of him when he was our board op, how he's Dorked out meeting John Randle, Tom Bernard & Jim Kleinsasser, his friendship with Nick Swardson, how we shared a bed and had "morning beers" at Eelpout and more!
DORK - Ben Leber 1-10-2019
Episode #5 my guest is former Minnesota Viking, 10 year NFL veteran, & fellow Vikings Radio Network broadcaster Ben Leber! Okay, he is also a national and local television football analyst....oh, good for Ben! I know, it's envy and jealousy. Ben and I talk "Hutch" football uniformed - front yard workouts, how he tried to impress a girl with a boombox (ala John Cusak in "Say Antything"), my foray into the theater and acting, how Ben became friends with "Modern Family" actor Eric Stonestreet (Cam) and how he "DORKED OUT" meeting Ed O'Neill on the set......not Sofia Vergara as much as Jay Pritchett. We also talk about his new Bourbon venture and his St. Jude Golf Charity Tournament coming up in June.
Thanksgiving Special: #TBT Interview with Paul Allen
Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful. It also falls on a #ThrowBackThursday, so it's good synergy to revisit one of my favorite podcast interviews, my chat with KFAN personality and Radio Voice of the Minnesota Vikings Paul Allen (@PAontheMic). The podcast has afforded me many opportunities to chat with some great guests and serve an audience of passionate Vikings football fans and for that I have a tremendous amount to be thankful for.
So sit back and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family, watch some football, take a food coma nap, and if you have some time listen to PA and I talk some Vikings football from April (three weeks before the draft). It's funny to see where our hot takes when both right and wrong.
An Andy Carlson Joint.

Wide Open Vikings Chat with Ron Johnson
Former Minnesota Golden Gopher and Baltimore Raven wide receiver Ron Johnson (FOX 9/KFAN) stopped in to talk about our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as we come out of the bye week. We touched on what attributes make Teddy Bridgewater special, Ron ranks the current corps of Vikes wideouts, how Mike Zimmer's defense is starting to resemble the great Ravens defenses of the 2000s, and why his former teammate Jamal Lewis' 295 game might still be the NFL record.
All that and other "Hot Pockets Suck" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!
