Joe Buck

If you ever watch nationally televised NFL or MLB games, then you know who Joe Buck is. Like his dad Jack (now deceased), Joe is a sportscaster who started training for his career as a child keeping Dad company in the control booth. On the Smartless podcast, he is extremely witty and tells many stories - from the pain he experienced from hair transplants to the pain he experiences as an older dad with very young twins. He was brought up in St. Louis and my sports-obsessed son, Ethan, had the good fortune of spotting and meeting Joe and his mom at a favorite brunch place near Wash U a few years ago. Proof of how nice a guy Joe is: not only did he talk to the boys, but he picked up the tab for Ethan and his buddy.
