Carl made his debut on Minneapolis’s KFAN radio on August 2001 explaining that a tornado had blown over his property and left the remains of a damaged building situated in a manner that looked like the goal line formation of the famous 1967 Ice Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Gerbschmidt was reportedly born as Starr crossed the goal line.

He normally discusses football on the show, especially the Packers and the Minnesota Vikings. Gerbschmidt has also recently started a blog which can be read on Barreiro’s page on KFAN’s website. An Eau Claire, Wisconsin newspaper recently contained an article with Gerbschmidt as its featured subject and questioned his very existence. Gerbschmidt used to run an Ice Bowl exhibit and a Packers wax museum at his house in Elk Mound. Gerbschmidt is married and has a 11 year old daughter who plays outside linebacker and leads her team in tackles. His hobbies are drinking beer, clog dancing, and Star Trek. He moved to the Milwaukee suburb of Oconomowoc where he works for the Wisconsin DOT. He recently purchased Brett Favre’s truck on EBay, and out-bidded himself while doing so. However, after Brett Favre signed with the Vikings on August 18, 2009, Gerbschmidt claimed that he lit the truck on fire.

That was part of a memorable rant with Barreiro on the day Favre signed with the Vikings in which Barreiro allegedly called Gerbschmidt, who was at a bar in Chippewa Falls with his brother Randy after leaving work early the morning that the Favre news broke. Admittedly drunk, Gerbschmidt spent nearly 10 minutes fuming, and at times nearly crying, over Favre’s signing, saying he was sad “for the children of Wisconsin who worshipped him”, and saying Favre “best watch himself” when he comes back to Wisconsin.
