Barreiro was awarded the title “Best Sports Talk Radio Host” from City Pages in 2005 and in 2006.

On the 8th of November in 2007, rumors began being reported on the local Twin Cities newspapers regarding a possible shift to the lower end of the dial for Barreiro up to the AM 1500 KFAN. But, Barreiro was in contract negotiations in talks with Clear Channel regarding a long time extension of his contract at KFAN and did acknowledge the issue by declaring “We’re letting the process play out, I’ll just leave it at that.” Barreiro’s proposal from KSTP was then accepted with Clear Channel on November 28 Then, Dan chose to remain in KFAN for the long-term.

He recently purchased Brett Favre’s truck on EBay, and possibly out-bid himself while doing so. However, after 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 worshiped him”, and saying Favre “best watch himself” when he comes back to Wisconsin.

He normally discusses professional football on the show, especially the Packers and the Minnesota Vikings. Gerbschmidt started a blog which can be read on Barreiro’s page on KFAN’s website but it has not been updated since

2010. An Eau Claire, Wisconsin newspaper 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 (now closed) at his house in Elk Mound. Gerbschmidt is married to Mrs. Gerbschmidt, who works in biophysics. The Gerbschmidts also have a daughter who played strong safety and punter. Gerbschmidt’s hobbies include drinking beer, clog dancing, Kool & the Gang memorobilia, and Star Trek. Gerbschmidt moved to the Milwaukee suburb of Oconomowoc where he worked for the Wisconsin DOT. Gerbschmidt lived in West Baraboo until 2012, but moved home to Elk Mound when he was promoted to Supervisor by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
