EPISODE DESCRIPTION
When you go to a sporting event, do you tailgate? If not, have you ever considered it? Tailgating is a time-honored tradition, and even if you answered "no" to the first questions, then I know you have to answer "yes" to....have you ever seen tailgaters when you attended a sporting event? It doesn't matter if it's High School, College, or the Pros, there is tailgating all around us.
That's where we bring in this week's guest, Luke Lorick. First, a funny little backstory on how I came across Luke. I was listening to "The Side Hustle" podcast and saw the title - How One Football Fan Turned Tailgating Into An Online Business." I had to check it out, and boy was I glad I did so. Luke is very passionate about tailgating and extremely entertaining.
We dive into many topics in the interview, including:
- The origin story of Tailgating Challenge
- How and when he founded National Tailgating Day
- The other National Days he founded (Homegating and Yard Games Day)
- A rundown of some of the more interesting products he reviewed
- What makes a "Great Tailgate," geared towards a new tailgater
- He gets to take my DeLorean into the future and bring back one cool tailgating product he thinks will "change the tailgating game"
- Much more....

THE FOOTBALL HISTORY DUDE BACKGROUND
The Football History Dude is a show dedicated to teaching NFL fans about the rich history of the game we all know and love. I’m your host, Arnie Chapman, and I’m just a regular dude that loves football and is a nerd when it comes to learning about history. I created this show to share the gridiron knowledge nuggets I gain from researching various topics about the history of the National Football League. Each episode I welcome you to climb aboard my DeLorean to travel back in time to explore the yesteryear of the gridiron, and yes, that’s a reference to the Back to the Future Movies.
