What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Are you singing back there limits to yourself?
Have I rubbed off on you to that degree? Well, here's the thing, Joe. When the weather starts to get really nice, Austin starts to get... Yes, I'm referring myself in the third person. Very excited, very happy, and very jubilant. And one thing that I like to do, it's a tradition that went back to when I was in college at Robert Morris before I transferred to Waynesburg.
Yeah.
It would be like... 11 o'clock at night or midnight and we'd be doing a lot of work up at our like century media little area where it's like our own personal newsroom up there yeah and sometimes i would just go into the tv studio and just start blaring music in the tv studio and i would just listen to music yeah you seem like your mood is really lifted today yes when the weather like when it's the summertime i am the happiest man in the world because it's close to wiffle ball season when does that start starts in the
Beautiful. Social media's biggest loser brought to you by Awaken 180. Visit them at awaken180weightloss.com. Who is it today?
Social media's biggest loser. I'm going to call the rain because we are expected to get rain Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and a chance of snow on Sunday.
Weather, you're the loser. I'll be waking up Sunday to 18 holes. In Fort Lauderdale somewhere. I don't know where yet. The envy and jealousy that I have right now. What's cooking brought to you by your local Geico rep, Tim Hester. Thank you, Mr. Hester. Very kindly. All right. Some questions from the old trib mailbag limits. Jay Crosslands, 895 ESPN as the Penguins ranked eighth on their power rankings. Would you feel comfortable with calling this team a contender? Limits? Yes or no.
So are we saying playoff contender or Stanley Cup champion contender?
I think it's implicated that it would be Stanley Cup contender in his question.
I'm going to say no because I don't think that the parallel here is entirely the same, but I kind of see some Washington Capitals a year ago in them where it was a team that overperformed. A lot of people didn't expect it. A lot of guys that kind of over exceeded their preseason expectations. And then once they got to the playoffs, ultimately ended up falling short. So I think they could win a series, but I don't think they're capable of winning three or four.
I agree with every syllable and half syllable you just uttered. And I told the man as much. I basically said, listen, they strike me now as a team capable of a first round upset. And then in the East, where Tampa's a prohibitive favorite, you know, you hope for somebody to knock them off. But with an add or two at the deadline limits, the word contender becomes a little bit more applicable. I'll say that much. All right. Number two. This is from our friend Jeffrey Lewis Music, who gave us our theme song to the show. Good day, Joe, he says. My real last name is Griffin, so I'm excited about Connor being a bucko. Between you, Austin, and Bob, who has the most famous namesake, which would be Bechtold, Pompeiani, or Starkey?
I think it's clearly me with Richard Starkey, and that's Ringo Starr's real name. Am I right, or is there a famous Bechtold out there? No, I didn't know that.
No, I don't know any other famous Bechtold. It's not a very common last name. I don't think Pompeiani is very common either.
Yeah, I can't think of any now. Cook, we could have a conversation, right? Yes, we could. Bino Cook, for example.
Billy Cook, for example.
Billy Cook, great example. What a legendary baseball player he is. Dalvin Cook, James Cook. James Cook. Yes. Yes, sir. Two of them, actually. Yeah. All right. Ryan Chepkovich. Who will lead the Pirates in home runs, RBIs, and hits? I'm thinking Lau, O'Hearn, and Cruz. To which I said, if Cruz, if he's doing that in order, if Cruz leads the team in hits, that would either be great or a really bad sign. So, limits, I'm thinking Cruz leads the team in home runs, Ozuna for RBIs, and Connor Griffin for hits.
Wait, you think it would be a bad thing if Cruz led the team in hits?
