A new, Facebook-based sports show titled “Talking Trash” is taking hold amongst local fans for its quick-fire blend of content featuring both local and national teams.
Waylon Laroux and Jeremy “J-Dawg” Leone, the two hosts, developed their banter over a friendship that developed when they were children. It continued through their adult years and was sharpened and readied while both were employed at Weyerhaeuser in Zwolle.
They’ve been sports fans for even longer.
“I’m a Cowboys fan,” Jeremy says. “Waylon is a Saints fan, so we’ve had a lot of fun with that recently. In other ways, we match up. We’re both (Los Angeles) Lakers fans so that talk is usually a tad different.”
However, talk about the NFL and NBA is commonplace. It’s the local sports coverage that sets them apart.
“I say on the show that nobody knows more about local sports than Jeremy,” Waylon says. “I mean that.”
One glance at Jeremy’s Facebook account seems to confirm that idea. He is a mainstay at all levels of local high school athletic competitions. During the interview, he beamed at one upcoming game in particular.
