Brion and Nick change it up from our past interviews, and talk to the drummer of a popular Iowa Hawkeye cover band, Van Hayden. Each member is dressed as Hayden Fry, playing Van Halen songs with lyrics modified to Iowa sports themes. He also was in school at the same time as them, and has lots of great stories to share! Some of the topics we discussed:
* Hayden's Chevy Trailblazer
* His high school athletic career
* Refereeing intramural basketball
* Competing for girls with Rodney Filer
* Watching nude performers in theater class
* The origin of Van Hayden
* Why they started doing cover songs with Iowa themes
* The self-contained concert ambulance, the Vanbulance
* Why he took 6 years to graduate at Iowa
* Reflecting on David Lee Roth's wild trip to Kinnick in 1986
* His vision for battle of the bands between colleges
* When Nick saved his date at a Metallica concert at Lollapalooza
* Hayden Fry's lack of warm weather sideline attire
* Hayden's family's response to their songs
* Typical tailgating weekend for Van Hayden
