Podcast Hell with Erick Hellwig – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode of the podcast features my friends Jacob Brown & Desiree Nash.

Liz Galalis, Luis Leon & Sandy Chansamone hop on the pod to talk customer service, creativity and being married.

THIS EPISODE: My wife Liz Galalis comes onto the podcast to talk about swords, Wicked, being parents, chores, survival food, pretentious comedians and more.

Curtis Painter works for Indiana Liquor Group. Before that, he worked for Mustard Seed Gardens. And before that, he was a NFL quarterback. On this podcast, we cover all three in a deep dive on the man that once held off Dan Orlovsky for 8 glorious weeks in 2011. Dude had a cannon. Boilermaker for life. The Curtis Painter story is a tale worth telling. Liz Galalis drops in on the podcast for a bit to help field some voicemails from Backup Nation. I also take some time to talk about filming a short stand-up special last week, the latest Blake Bortles snub, Dwayne Haskins, Matty Ice, getting too high and why people who put chips in their brain aren't relatable. A quick hour with some big laughs. Hope you check it out.

Matt Cassel is a backup legend. Mat Dan is a hilarious comic. Put them together, and you have a fantastic episode of my show, Bring In The Backups. On this episode of BITB, I chat about my upcoming shows at The Comedy Chateau, Flappers, Comedy Blvd, The Vail Comedy Festival & Empire Comedy in Temecula. I also briefly chat about Coach K, the NCAA tournament and of course, The Slap. Then Matt Dan and I chat about the Matt Cassel journey, walking out of movies and more.

Ritch Ruiz drops into the podcast to chat about Spergon Wynn and confess that he's never once heard an episode of the podcast.

On this episode of Bring In The Backups, I talk about Hawaii like I've never been on a vacation before. I go sans guest on this bad boy and focus on a Hawaii Rainbow Warriors legend with a Timmy Chang deep dive. I shout out the Aloha Comedy Festival and talk about Best Of The Fest, Jurassic Park, Hawaiian luau's, Timmy Chang kinda looking like a deer, the Hamilton Tiger Cats, John Navarre, St. Louis High School quarterbacks, thick bodied men, tropical environments, Hawaii's old uniforms and more.

The Rams won the Super Bowl. On this history making episode of Bring In The Backups, I conduct interviews with Rams fan and comedian/writer Rob Stern (Adventure Beast) and writer/musician Andrew Paulsen (American Horror Story). I think it's also fair to say that "conduct interviews" is a stretch. I say the word "dude" pretty much every other sentence. With Rob, we talk about the Rams, Cooper Kupp, play Whitney Houston or Scott Stapp, and answer some VM's from fans of the show. Andrew and I talk about the mood in Cincinnati after the loss, MAC football (I just can't help myself), the future of The Bengals and more. We also talk about his music.

This episode of Bring In The Backups is all Blake Bortles. BB was thrown into a tough situation in Jacksonville, but a mere 4 years in, he had them at the doorstep. Blake Bortles also once torched TB12. He's also been replaced by Nick Foles...no shame there. We cover Blake Bortles's UCF career, the Jags uniforms, The Good Place getting a little preachy, Covid tests, The Idaho Vandals arena, Sac State, opening for Bengt Washburn, Joe Burrow being cool, Jimmy G being hot, NFL OT vs. NCAA OT, small airplanes in fog, my friends on the Opening Kickoff Podcast, & more. After that, I chat with Joe Schiappa about movies, comedy, working together in NYC, and his new podcast Pay or Request.

What a fun show chatting about Frank Reich. He's one religious, German guy that Bill Polian once called the greatest backup quarterback in NFL history. Yeah, Nick Foles and Charlie Batch got something to say about that, but still, no one is arguing with the comeback. All time great, and don't forget those 7 starts with the Jets and the first TD pass in Panthers history. Lucas Hazlett comes on the show and we talk about Fox News, friendship, Frank Reich's name, Frank Reich trivia, Nickelback, answer Bring In The Backups Voicemails, 80's football and basketball, NFL playoffs and more. Shout out to my friends Mandy, Matt, Gary & Liz. That's it. Fun episode, hope you enjoy!
