What recent event has caused disappointment in the Olympics?
Sean, very, very upsetting and disappointing thing just happened at the Olympics. Team USA curling just lost in the semifinals. That's the worst news I've heard in a minute. This was a huge week of curling. Two weeks of curling where members of the Pittsburgh Curling Club had called in and explained curling to us. Now, you told me you've never competed in curling. I don't think I'm alone in that. You're really intrigued by watching it. Every four years, I'm locked in on curling. Mainly because, I don't know, it's on every single day. I think curling started like day one or day two of the Olympics. And it's still going on. It's just three weeks of curling. It's like cricket, right? I mean, it takes forever sometimes.
Yeah, like a lot of the speed skaters and figure skaters and like Malanin, the great skater for Team USA. I think he's been done for like three or four days. And there are some people that competed in the early portion of the Olympics. Now they're just kind of hanging out and hanging around for the closing ceremony. When I become an Olympian, which is probably inevitable at this point, that's what I want. What would be your sport? There's multiple sports I could probably compete in. um we'll say table table tennis go with that skeleton no i don't want to hurt myself severely badminton someone yeah maybe that someone on the text line was mad at me uh yesterday with my argument that three on three hockey would be a horrible idea in overtime of the nhl playoffs and they said limits stick to badminton and wiffleball i've never picked up a badminton before i don't think that's a thing it's a shuttlecock
That proves my level of knowledge about badminton. Anyway, when I'm an Olympic athlete, I want to be done early. I want to compete right off the bat and then win or lose, hopefully win. But even if I lose, then you get to sit around and enjoy the rest of the Olympics there as a spectator. All the pressure's off, right? Well, I mean, curling just never stops. The grind never ends when you're curling in the Olympics. Is it like, did you have to give a speech in school and you were one of the first speakers? Oh yeah. And you got out of the way and you could just sit back and kick your feet up. But when you're the last, like the very last, you're stressed the entire time. Yes. Well, in college, I would try to be the first or second speaker.
I would try to go second. I never wanted to be the first, but I would try to go second so that one, I got it out of the way, and two, I set the tone. Yeah, first is a tough spot to be in as well. The level of confidence from freshman Austin as just a moron that had no idea who I was to where I was in college that finally got some confidence in myself. I was going to say some people would say not much has changed, but. Listen to the Papa Joe show every Wednesday to hear about Starkey's car of the week from the baseball car castle in Cranberry.

What are the implications of Sidney Crosby's injury on Team Canada?
Bucks and pucks on the table. Here is Justin to chime in. What's up, Justin? Hey, how's it going, guys? Doing well. So, question for all you guys. So do you guys feel like the Pirates, with all the new signings, with all them on the team now, do you feel like they can go further than what they've done in the past in the season? Or do you feel like they could stay the same if things were to go what they've been going? Are you saying win a playoff series? Is that what you're saying? Like win a three-game wildcard? Yeah, and with the new signing, do you feel like they could go further with that? Yeah, thanks, Justin. I think it's possible because of the rotation. Bubba Chandler is a big wild card. He is a considerable question mark.
Chandler, last year, started out in the bullpen, and he told a couple of reporters this spring that it was beneficial for him. He went into the rotation late in the year, had one really bad start where he pitched two and a third innings, and
