Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Limits, why are people panicking and summoning me in the hallways? Well, Joe, you have a tendency to roam off randomly and I can't find you. You're like a lost child. And me as the parent, as the producer running the show, gets very worried and concerned about you. So sometimes I ask for people's assistance in the hallway and trying to locate you.
I know, but I have an internal clock that tells me when to be back, and this time I was back in plenty of time. That's because you were summoned by Marianne to drag you back. I know, and she scolded me and everything, and I was having a nice conversation with Donnie and Pony about Bill Steeler's playoff games from a long time ago and questions that you couldn't answer, could you?
Which means that you would not have been back in time for the start of the show.
No, I was already strolling back with Pony. Oh. Plenty of time. Who came in at quarterback? Okay, the Steelers ended the Bills' reign, right, as four-time AFC champs. They pounded the Bills at Three River Stadium. Jim Kelly got hurt. Who came in and threw a touchdown pass for the Bills? Wrong. I have no idea. Doug Flutie. Good guess. Alex Van Pelt.
Really?
Yes.
The offensive coordinator that Aditi gave a coach of the year vote for?
I'm not going to talk about that. Then who did the Bills beat in their last AFC title game when they won four in a row?
They beat in that last AFC title game.

Chapter 2: How concerned are fans about the Penguins missing the playoffs?
I wouldn't even want to try. But can I just give you a nudge in the penguin's direction to enjoy it? Not you. Well, yes, you too. I was doing that earlier in the year. This is fun, man. This is good. People are chanting stew at games. Let's enjoy the stew while we still have it. Limits. Okay? Maybe he'll turn into Stuart Skinner again. I don't know. I don't care.
It's a reprieve from everything else happening. You can just watch a nice Penguins game and really enjoy it. I'll tell you another thing about this Penguins team. Please. They have guts. What were you going to say? I don't know. Something else. That's what they have. That's what previous Penguins teams didn't have the last five years. This team has guts. They stand up for each other. They fight.
They hit people. They tick people off. They're highly competitive. And they are what Mike Sullivan endlessly and annoyingly said his team needed to be. Everybody all together now, we need to be hard to play against. Remember all that? Remember he would say that 45 times a year that we need to be hard to play against? Well, guess what? The Penguins are finally hard to play against again. Okay?
You might take a shot to the face. You might take a huge hit. You might take an illegal hit. You might take a stick to the back. You go after one of their stars, somebody might come after you. Somebody might drop the glove. Somebody might protect their goaltender.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Penguins' current performance?
This team has guts. This team will fight you. This team is hard to play against. This team has banded together. And for all of Sully's blather in his last five years, his teams were soft and easy to play against. Nobody was more polite than Sully's late-stage Penguins. This team ain't polite. I say watch them. I say root for them. I say enjoy it. I love you too, Dan.
I just talked to him in the back. What do you think, Limits? Are they starting to grow on you?
Yeah, they are. Especially the later that we get into the season. Like, what are we, halfway at this point? So... They are. I'm giving them more optimism to make the playoffs, especially because right now they're in a playoff position. Yeah. And I don't really feel good about a lot of the other teams that are in the Metro. So I give them a fighting shot. Yeah.
I still want to see Sergei Miroshev up. If they trade Skinner at the deadline, he's playing well. I'm okay with it because I think just like with the Jari trade, you're replacing him with somebody who can help now. And he's obviously great for the future.
Listen, I wanted to see Mirosha from the beginning. But you know what? They're getting pretty good goaltending right now. They're 8-2-2 in their last 12. And Stewie is becoming a folk hero. So, again, I'm just enjoying it. And it's okay to be wrong. I don't care right now. I just want to watch their next game. Just let me enjoy one thing in Pittsburgh sports, please.
And right now, the most enjoyable thing going is the Penguins. I mean, that doesn't even feel like an opinion. Isn't that just a fact?
Yeah, I think that's a fact. The Pirates aren't playing. The Steelers need a coach. And Pitt basketball, oh my.
Oh, my is right. Brett Kulak, for God's sakes. By the way, did you know 26 different penguins have scored a goal this season? Leads the NHL limits.
Did not.
