EP 166: The Nick & Nolan Show (Buffalo Rumblings)

Author: Blue Wire November 1, 2019 Duration: 1:11:26
On this episode of the Moran-Alytics Podcast presented by 26 Shirts, Patrick Moran interviews Nick and Bruce, co-hosts of the “Nick and Nolan Show” on the Buffalo Rumblings podcast network on a variety of topics. They eventually work their way to a little Buffalo Bills talk but before that Patrick gives fans an opportunity to learn more about both guys and their podcast that quickly became a hit in #BillsMafia circles.  They talk about growing up not geographically tied to the Bills– Nick near Pittsburgh and Bruce in several places before both eventually settled into the Cleveland area.  They also tell why and how they became Bills fans, with Bruce having one of the more unorthodox methods of picking the Bills as his favorite team you’ll ever hear. They also spend time talking about the Nick and Nolan Show, including how they actually met, the inspiration for the podcast, the conversation that led to getting it off the ground, the weekly process of producing the show and some of the excellent feedback they’ve gotten since launching. Then the focus does indeed turn to the Bills and the three discuss and agree on who would be the team MVP through their first seven games and also talk about the importance of continuity in the offense, how much of a role the schedule has played in them being 5-2 and insight from each on  how they see the rest of the season playing out. It’s good stuff from a pair of guys putting out weekly content that’s becoming must-listen for any Bills fan. You can follow Nick (@NickBat) and Bruce (@BruceExclusive) on Twitter and be sure to check out the Nick and Nolan Show, released every Wednesday on the Buffalo Rumblings network and available wherever you get your podcasts from. Before the interview Patrick shares his thoughts on the Washington Nationals winning the World Series and the Buffalo Sabres still maintaining an excellent start to their season while also giving details on how you could win a free double order of wings and a large pizza from Macy’s Place Pizzeria, one of Western New York’s fastest rising pizza and wing joints. ♦♦♦♦♦ Make sure you subscribe to the Moran-Alytics Podcast YouTube Channel, which includes EXCLUSIVE audio content you won’t find anywhere else as well as highlight clips from current and past podcast episodes.

There's a particular kind of passion that comes from following Buffalo sports, a mix of unwavering hope and hardened realism that Talking Buffalo captures perfectly. Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character. You'll hear the highs, the lows, and all the gritty commentary in between, all filtered through the experience of someone who truly understands what it means to invest in these teams. For anyone who bleeds blue and red or simply appreciates the complex narrative of a sports city, Talking Buffalo feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable, and admittedly opinionated, friend.
