Bledsoe’s Basement Tapes, hosted by NFL legend Drew Bledsoe, is a hilarious sit-down with his notoriously grumpy brother Adam and old childhood friend and comedy writer Roo Carmichael. The three discuss sports, life, tell stories from the NFL, share weird local news and drink lots of beer. Think of it like being a fly on the wall at a bar in central Oregon with an NFL great and his two best friends where truly anything can happen! The Basement Tapes crew is frequently visited by former NFL players, rockstars, and comedians who want to get in on the fun. It’s like an unwanted back-rub from a stranger that starts off awkward, but then you’re like, “damn, I’ll give it five more minutes to see where this goes."
