Stadium Scene’s Main Event

Hey, we wanted to post a quick video to let everyone know where we've been and that the Main Event show will be on hiatus until early May.   Steve, our Graphics Designer (and the designer of our logo), and Kate's long-time partner's father passed away last Sunday after a long battle with cancer.  We felt that it was only appropriate to shut things down for a couple of weeks while th...

Today we are joined by Max Costanzo of LawnChair Sports podcast.  Before we begin, D.J. breaks the shocking news that Michael Strahan posted to social media that he went to a cosmetic dentist and filled his trademark "gap" between his front two teeth.  He's been out of the league for over a decade now, why now?   Max kicks off the episode talking about his time at Florida Gulf Coast...

We're back with a new episode this week featuring Emily Corbett of "She Writes Sports", a sports blog from the female perspective. Emily talks about how she originally built the blog as a college assignment and turned it into a full site with a team.   Moving on, we talk about the challenges of making predictions in sports and how most people get it wrong, and the additional "critiques" of be...

So we had some schedule conflicts and won't be releasing a new episode for the first time in now a year!  It's really hard to believe how far we've come!  We thought it would be fun to re-release an episode of one of our early podcast episodes featuring Bernard Pollard with some intro commentary from D.J. talking about how far we've come.  Check back and try to enjoy one of our earl...

Kate and D.J. sit down with author, Emily Williams as they discuss her new book, Lady-Thletes (Available at Amazon and on Kindle/Kindle UNLIMITED).  The book is targeted at pre-teen and teenage girls in sports and the issues they run into as athletes and translates them to life lessons.  This book is also a good read for males looking to better understand their female peers and the exper...

Sometimes we wonder how we book some of these shows.  Today is one of those days.  After a bit of a cold open discussing Kate's laptop oops moment and D.J.'s interview philosophy (or you could skip to 5:14), we sit down with one of the greatest interviewers of our generation, Chris Myers of Fox Sports.  You've seen him covering NASCAR, NFL play-by-play, MLB on Fox, The Masters, The...

Kate returns again as we are joined by Elijah Needham, the "primary" host of StickInRink Podcast on The Hockey Podcast Network.  StickInRink discusses the Vancouver Canucks and other "west coast type sports.  We start off the discussion today with how Elijah met his co-hosts and how they got involved with The Hockey Podcast Network.  We move on and get into the legacy of Roberto Luo...

Today D.J. sits down with Evan Kirkham, CEO of Colorcast to discuss what is the Colorcast App and why sports fans who are tired of bad sports commentary and want a new way to hang out and network with friends should be downloading it right now.  We also talk the inspiration behind the app, how it came to be, and booking their first celebrity appearance on the application and future expan...

It's Polar Vortex time again....except for the south.  Kate is freezing, D.J. isn't, so why not have someone from Canada come on the show?  Today we are joined by Ryan Stacey of Hockey Minds Podcast, part of The Hockey Podcast Network.     Ryan works in the hockey industry and has a strong passion for learning more inside the operations.  During the pandemic, it gave...

Old friends. New friends!

Kate makes her return today as we sit down with Shannon and Megan from the Slapshot Sweethearts Podcast, part of Belly Up Sports.    We get into our usual questions of how they meet before Kate deviates to talk about the physical appearance of players, the badge of honor of missing teeth, and does Sidney Crosby dye his hair?   We discuss Dany Heatley and his reckless driving ac...

D.J. is running solo again as he hosts Nick and Gabe from the Cardboard Boxseats Podcast.  They shock everyone at the beginning with the story of how they met involving a walk to a cadaver lab while in school and how the podcast was originally a way of keeping in touch after graduation and moving to different cities.   They also talk about learning about the behind the scenes in basketba...

Welcome back for part 2 of our 2020 Year in Review series!  We kick this episode off immediately by talking about D.J.'s hair, D.J.'s lack of haircuts for ten months, and finally when D.J.'s wife couldn't take anymore and butchered his hair right off. We move on and talk about our guests: Pat Hughes - 25 Year Chicago Cubs radio announcer Casey Welch - Purdue football kicker, turned CEO of his...

D.J. and Kate are mailing it in for the rest of the year as we sit down and discuss 2020 in part one of this two-part series.  We discuss how the pandemic sent us home and what we were doing when life changed for us, disc golf, and if "frisbee" is considered an "offensive" word to Disc Golf players.  We shout out to our first responders and our "Essential Workers" at grocery stores and r...

It's our last episode of Ten Minutes With... for 2020.  Not for good!  We're always out to break new records and this week we broke a record by going the longest into a show without actually introducing the guest.  The conversation starts off talking about "pandemic hair".     Today Kate and D.J. sit down with "TV", host of "TV on Basketball" found on your favorite po...

This one is a doozy today.  We have a new record holder for the longest TMW episode and it goes so far off-topic, Jay Leno and Pat Morita's straight to video buddy cop film gets a mention.  This is all because Kate wasn't here to watch the clock!   D.J. is joined by Cori Crenshaw and Richie Flores of Sporty with Cori and Richie to talk many things, but specifically about their Arizo...
