Local Hour: Bare Feet Dave Dameshek

Jonathan Zaslow is man we love. But is he a man we know? That's what we set out to do on Football America! We get into the deep conversations of life with our good friend. Starting, of course, with a consequential debate about the Vegas Omelette Bar. Is it worth the wait? Can you ever get a decent fluffy omelette at a buffet? Or is it place of disappointment? Zaslow gives us the answer. We go from there to his thoughts on fashion: Gold Jacket vs Green Jacket. Zaslow has a natural love for sports. He's the voice in our industry that we need. We're thrilled whenever his plane lands on Football America! AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
