What an amazing episode, everyone should give this week's guest Caitlyn Shea a listen. Farm team member, hockey lover, former tom boy, and just all around bad ass Caitlyn joins Stiner and they discuss being not naturally talented at improvising instead both had to work hard and go through bombing (trying to be funny but ends up being cringy and hard to watch). Would you rather be naturally talented or have to work hard for something? Hey guess what Tigers and Lions still suck!

S2E2 - Power and Money Corrupts

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 11:52:12 -0000

Look I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, I like real data. But somethings just don't add up. Tim Dockery on a previous episode told me about the conspiracy behind Chester of Linkin Park and his supposed suicide. Well the Epstein situation stinks of you know what. This might be the one thing left and right agree on, that he is a scum bag, but where we disagree is who might be connected with him. Another scandal Stiner talks about is the one of Biogenesis and Major League Baseball regarding steroids and HGH. Again if you think MLB top ranked officials didn't know what was going on, well you might be not be all there, bless your heart. Is Michigan overhyped again? Also talk about Lions beat down by the Patriots and the last place Tigers.

At 38 minute mark I go into Back to the Future Fantasy Baseball. The regular season is ending. Stiner has his trade vetoed at the deadline, almost made it with minimal drama. Enjoy!

S2E1 - First Impressions

Tue, 06 Aug 2019 15:24:16 -0000

Stand up comedian and improviser Ellen Stachowicz joins Stiner on Fumblin' Around this week. Ellen and Tom tell each other how they first go to know of each other, and it really couldn't be two different scenarios. The episode is a lot of fun, but also gets real. Ellen gives Stiner some personal experience of being a woman in comedy. There are inequalities and harassment everywhere including in the local comedy community. Issues like this need to be discussed and worked on to make sure all are feeling safe and included. We cannot be losing people in the community to harassment, we must listen to each other and try to understand. Thank you Ellen so much for coming on and being vulnerable. Also for listening to me rant on how bad Al Avila and the Tigers are along with the other noncompetitive sports teams in Detroit.

EP 11 - Oh come all ye faithful!

Thu, 22 Dec 2016 23:30:39 -0000

It's the Fumblin' Around Holiday Episode and it is SO bueno! Matt and Andy check in on the Red Wings 2016 Playoff Watch. Matt tells a joke. Andy laughs. The boys sing many Christmas songs. Andy and Matt discuss their 2016 NO BUENO list. Did we mention we talk so much sports? Like a crap ton of sports. There's no guest this week. We tell John Lennon to get off his dang soap box already. Action goes long. Howie Long.

Fri, 09 Dec 2016 04:26:56 -0000

Maggie "FRIGGIN'" O'Relly is in the house! Probably the biggest sports expert in the world, Maggie joins Matt and Andy to talk all kinds of sports. AND you better believe we talk about that Krab Rangoon Lyfe!

We also had the sincere pleasure of welcoming Delores Booth*, former professional bowler and 1992 Olympic gold medalist, to the Feldspar Studio... Ms. Booth discusses her memoir

From Bumpers to Bad Ass: If this was Baseball Three Strikes and You're Out, but this is Bowling and Strikes are Good

And she explains how she "founded Brittney Spears."

Episode 7: The Yak Bak rises, with Joe Hingelberg

Tue, 06 Dec 2016 03:27:39 -0000

You're damn right we're back! Do we talk sports? Check. Do we discuss 90s stuff like Talk Boys and Yak Baks??? Hmmm, let me think...

HELL YEAH WE DO, BROTHER!!!

We welcomed fellow improviser and cigar enthusiast, Joe Hingelberg, to Feldspar Studios... and you better believe he came with it. Did you know he met Barry Sanders? Neither did we! But he, did and he tells us all about it!

Did I mention we got Henry King* - the much heralded (and decorated) concession stand manager for the Utica Unicorns! He tells us all about being him.

Also, this commercial is VERY STRANGE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71yTOUicmEY

Episode 6 - New catch phrase "it's no bueno" with Aaron Mondry and Tommy Tomlinson

Sun, 13 Nov 2016 16:02:44 -0000

WHOAH! Matt and Andy welcome fellow improviser and Editor of Model D (Detroit's online news magazine) to the Feldspar Studios... we talk hockey, football, college life, roller skating hockey (again), and a bunch of other sweet stuff. We also introduce our newest segment called [for now] "RAPID FIRE".

Oh, and how about special-total-exclusive guest, former Purdue football scout player, Tommy Tomlinson*! He discusses his time with Purdue in the early 90s and his hatred of Rudy (the guy who played for Notre Dame and they made a movie about.)

A couple of loose ends:

Red Wings in the last 3 seasons lost in the first round of the playoffs, and in the 2 seasons before that they lost in the second round
Charlie Sheen's character in Major League was "Ricky Vaughn"

Trust us, that's all relevant after you listen to the podcast!

And don't forget the sweetest new catch phrase "IT'S NO BUENO!"

Wed, 02 Nov 2016 02:59:00 -0000

Matt and Andy welcome an amazingly talented human being and good friend, Julia Schroeder, to the podcast. I mean we're talkin sports, movies, baseball, NOT golf, other things... And later in the episode we are honored to welcome Henry Forgle* - the OLDEST living person in America who happens to be a Cubs fan and happens to have attended the clinching game of the 1908 World Series... the last time the Cubs won!

Ep4 - Fumblin' Around - interview with Roscoe DIllinger

Sat, 29 Oct 2016 16:21:27 -0000

It was an absolute honor to have former professional bull rider Roscoe T. Dillinger* in the Feldspar Studio today. Listen as he recounts is rise to fame and inevitable fall. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll tell all of your friends.

Episode 3 - Fumblin' Around

Sat, 29 Oct 2016 16:20:56 -0000

Matt and Andy are back again for a new totally sweet and uninhibited episode of Fumblin' Around... Detroit's ONLY sports podcast [besides all of the other ones.] We talk about the NBA winning the internet... the dumb Cubs. Mission control. The guy who owns the only copy of Super Bowl I, and how the NFL refuses to buy it from him. Rip Hamilton thinks the 2004 Pistons would beat the 2016 Warriors. Is he crazy? Probably. But is he right? Most def.

Episode 2 - We're talkin' State vs. Michigan

Thu, 27 Oct 2016 23:00:00 -0000

Much to Andy's chagrin, Sparty Nation has dominated the Wolverines by winning 7 of the last 8 meetings. On Saturday they clash in East Lansing for the five hundred and sixtieth time. If you want to listen to Andy gush about the state of his Alma Mater, U of M, then you have come to right place.

Ep 1 - Fumblin Around podcast

Thu, 20 Oct 2016 05:36:34 -0000

Matt Penridge and Andy Reid talk all kinds of crazy sports. You've got your football, your baseball, your hockey, your basketball... and even quasi-sports like the Detroit Neon. No for real, that was an indoor soccer team that played at the Palace from '94-'96.

“The name Detroit Neon was a reference to the Dodge Neon and came from a sponsorship from the Chrysler Corporation ... In 1997 the naming rights were sold to General Motors and they were named after the GMC Safari minivan.”

— Wikipedia

How great is that? They were named after a car, and then a minivan! Only in Car City!
