Buffett Has Dinner with Ed Podolak

Jimmy Buffett had dinner with sports broadcaster / NFL runningback Ed Podolak. One article mentions Buffett will be in Tahiti during the Orange Bowl (on Tuesday January 5th)

Ed Podolak is at the Orange Bowl, and that’s a good thing for Hawkeye fans everywhere

While here, Podolak will have a reunion with old friend Jimmy Buffett.

”We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About” is a 1983 song Buffett said he wrote about Podolak, but Buffett’s mother said she wasn’t fooled, and that the song was really about her son.

Coincidentally, the Orange Bowl will be played in Land Shark Stadium. Land Shark is made by Buffett’s Margaritaville Brewing Company.

Buffett will be in Tahiti during the Orange Bowl because “He didn’t think the Hawkeyes would be playing in it,” Podolak said.

Orange Bowl, Day 4: Podolak’s bunking on a boat — and dining with Buffett

Well, not a boat, exactly — a motor yacht near Fort Lauderdale Beach, courtesy of an old pal at a local boat company. And speaking of old pals, the Saturday night itinerary for the former Iowa star-turned-analyst was slated to include a dinner with music icon Jimmy Buffett.

Podolak said Buffett wasn’t staying for Tuesday night’s Orange Bowl at Land Shark Stadium, a building that — for now — boasts Buffet’s Land Shark Lager as its title sponsor.

“He scheduled over the Orange Bowl,” Podolak explained.
