Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?

0.031 - 25.465 Joe Starkey

Oh man, Team Canada walking into the building this morning. I don't think I'd want to be playing them today, boys. We got Tyler Kennedy, a Stanley Cup champion. We have Bob Pompiani, a member of the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame, along with Ron Cook. And we have little old me. I'm a nobody. Plus we have Austin City Limits Bechtold to my left in a beautiful Penguins jacket. Look at him.

0

25.934 - 29.3 Joe Starkey

You like that logo, Tyler? That's your era. That's the old school.

0

29.641 - 36.753 Tyler Kennedy

Yeah, I love that era. You know what? You've got the same thing on today. No, no, that's different. That's the newer one. Oh, you're right.

0

36.773 - 38.717 Unknown

This is the Robo Penguin from the 90s.

0

39.318 - 45.709 Tyler Kennedy

At Mario's Fantasy Camp, that was his theme last year, the Robo logos.

45.77 - 47.132 Bob Pompeani

The Robo logo.

47.399 - 52.647 Tyler Kennedy

You know, the black jersey like that is so awesome. I love that.

52.667 - 62.721 Joe Starkey

Well, what's your favorite Penguin jersey of all time? Mine's the powder blue. Anything powder blue is awesome. Right? The ones you wore at the Winter Classic. Yes. Bob, you agree with that?

63.142 - 67.989 Bob Pompeani

I love them all, actually. Their powder blue is unique, and I think they should do it every now and then just because.

Chapter 2: What are the favorite Penguin jerseys of the guests?

131.896 - 147.642 Bob Pompeani

Right, Bob? Yeah, no, that was exciting. Where were you before that? I put a lot of time in nowhere. I got hired right out of the internships I did at KDKA. Look at this girl. But I made sure I showed them that – I could do it. But I'm sure you had the first time up. It's special. You remember?

0

147.862 - 156.881 Tyler Kennedy

Oh, yeah. You still, like, I remember during the national anthem, I was like, what am I doing here? You know, like, you still get that, like, what am I doing?

0

157.102 - 158.144 Joe Starkey

Imposter syndrome.

0

158.344 - 176.594 Tyler Kennedy

I have that every day. Yeah. You need to have a confidence about you when you come up. You need to have that confidence. I really do think guys that come up and are a little cocky, they need to be because, again, it's going up to the best league in the world, and you've got to be able to make plays.

0

177.315 - 181.48 Bob Pompeani

How about Avery Hayes? Talk about getting called up and right off the bat.

181.5 - 182.001 Tyler Kennedy

That was incredible.

182.021 - 184.444 Bob Pompeani

He goes back to Wilkes-Barre, scores a hat-trick the very next day.

184.61 - 209.318 Tyler Kennedy

Yeah, they say he's got a little Brian Russ into him, right? A little motor. A little Max Talbot, too. Yeah, he's feisty. When you look at the farm team, when you look at the team we have up top, we have so many good prospects that can maybe turn into a Gensel, Russ, like an Avery, a Kindle, all those guys. I'm very happy with what Kyle Dubas has done the last two years.

209.298 - 216.669 Tyler Kennedy

with just getting that prospect pool, good players. So when the page does churn, they still have a really good team.

Chapter 3: How do players manage pressure in high-stakes games?

321.601 - 324.864 Joe Starkey

Bob, would you like to officially introduce Tyler Kennedy today?

0

325.124 - 334.053 Bob Pompeani

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome on this Thursday morning at 10.08.02, it's Tyler Kennedy. Time of the goal, 10.08.02, it's Kennedy.

0

334.073 - 340.079 Tyler Kennedy

That might be my wake-up call. Should I get that on my phone so when my alarm goes off in the morning, it's welcome.

0

340.139 - 342.021 Bob Pompeani

I don't think Brandy would like that.

0

342.201 - 349.768 Tyler Kennedy

The time of the goal is incredible. She's sleeping with the kids half the time. The kids wake her up in the middle of the night and then she leaves for the night, but I get my bed to myself.

349.9 - 368.885 Joe Starkey

Tyler Kennedy brought to you by Mike's beer bar. Meet me at Mike's off the top brought to you by JP roofing and siding. We've got all kinds of things happening, but right now Tyler Kennedy is happening. So do you like the Olympic game better than the NHL game? The dimensions of the rink, the style of play, all that. You like it better?

369.405 - 387.703 Tyler Kennedy

Oh, just the players alone playing in it. Yeah. That level of speed, I think you're going to watch Team Canada play here in a little bit, is going to be nothing like you've ever seen before because the speed of that team, those forward lines, is remarkable. They are going to be flying out there.

387.683 - 403.566 Tyler Kennedy

I think the next generation of guys that haven't won yet, like a McKinnon, like a McDavid, have a lot of pressure on them to do really well. And I think they need to show that they can take Team Canada to the promised land.

403.546 - 426.297 Tyler Kennedy

and win so i think it's going to be very exciting to watch this and i love it i i was watching i think maybe the hardest sport in the olympics what do you think the hardest sport is i'll tell you what mine is i'd say uphill cross-country skiing did you see that dude the other day bob i would have had to have been up the hill oh my god with skis on they would have airlifted me out off that thing after four strides

Chapter 4: What impact does the Olympic hockey experience have on players?

970.266 - 972.634 Bob Pompeani

Harder. This is the key moment here. Do you get around?

0

972.975 - 976.287 Joe Starkey

It's the final shot. That hurt.

0

976.729 - 978.615 Bob Pompeani

Now they got one point out of it, I guess.

0

979.355 - 1000.28 Joe Starkey

They were satisfied. Seems so. Fan text line brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates, a personal injury law firm where they always say there's never a fee unless we get money for you. And fan Twitter brought to you by South Hills Kia Peters Township. Visit them at SouthHillsKia.net. Limits, are you up for a Pittsburgh curling club? Field trip? Would you like that?

0

1000.34 - 1007.013 Unknown

Yeah, I actually would be very interested in learning how to curl. Or at Sliders Ice Curling in Millvale. There's a lot of different options out there that I see.

1007.033 - 1013.185 Joe Starkey

How about me and Tyler against you and Bob? I have a feeling Tyler's good at this. I would love to have Bob on my team.

1013.205 - 1018.896 Bob Pompeani

Are we on? For lunch? I like cleaning the house sometimes, so I'm pretty good at using the broom.

1019.18 - 1024.427 Tyler Kennedy

Let's do it. They get pretty low there, like you said. They get low. That's going to be the hard part. That's a lunge and a half.

1024.587 - 1028.272 Bob Pompeani

And you've got to sustain it all the way through the time.

Chapter 5: What unique video games do the hosts reminisce about?

4359.388 - 4374.83 Joe Starkey

It was a video tennis game. where all it was was the ball going back and forth, and you hit it with a moving hyphen. Your tennis racket was a moving hyphen. It was unbelievable, Bob. What about Coleco football? I remember that.

0

4375.512 - 4376.393 Bob Pompeani

I used to like that, yes.

0

4376.413 - 4396.545 Joe Starkey

I could still do the exact pattern of my thumbs to make a touchdown. And again, it was a moving dash. There was a lot of moving dashes limits because that's all we had in those days. Was this Atari? I think it was, yeah. Coleco. I don't know if that's the same thing. I don't know. It was Coleco football.

0

4396.61 - 4418.912 Joe Starkey

It was a little dash, and he went twice onto the screen, then down, then over, then up, and then through the middle. And if you scored, a band would play, unless I'm hallucinating. Was the band on the field? The band was always on the field. I used to play that thing in the back of the basketball bus every day, and I bet you did it on the golf bus. Was it Pong? Pong was the first game.

0

4418.952 - 4421.877 Joe Starkey

Yes, Pong. What a game, Bob.

4421.917 - 4424.101 Bob Pompeani

What a game. Pong was a good game.

4424.121 - 4427.647 Joe Starkey

They never made a better video game. Yes, they did. They made Tecmo.

4427.667 - 4438.665 Bob Pompeani

Well, the technology has made it so that every year there's something new that comes out that's tremendous. So, yeah, but that was a good one. I used to like that one. We used to go crazy with that.

4439.101 - 4449.233 Joe Starkey

You know, if I ever just wanted to sink into oblivion, and the way the world is right now, I may. I'm going to get addicted to video games and just play them every single night.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about video game addiction?

4467.113 - 4475.806 Unknown

The arcade version. Ms. Pac-Man? Yes. Like it's a lady doing it? Have you never heard of that game before? Ms. Pac-Man?

0

4475.826 - 4477.929 Joe Starkey

I've heard of Pac-Man. I never heard of Ms. Pac-Man.

0

4477.949 - 4503.273 Unknown

So there's a regular Pac-Man and there's a Ms. Pac-Man. I didn't know it was married. There's a Ms. The Ms. Pac-Man is the better game compared to the regular Pac-Man. It's elite. The Pac-Man Galaga combined game in like the 1983 console. Yeah. Incredible. Anytime there's ever an arcade and like my friends and I go like once a year and we go on vacation, that's where you'll find me.

0

4503.453 - 4505.957 Unknown

You will find me at the Pac-Man game for an hour.

0

4506.698 - 4515.852 Joe Starkey

See, I have an addictive personality. So if I get into like Madden football or college football, I would literally play all day every day and not eat and maybe die playing it, Bob.

4516.743 - 4520.131 Bob Pompeani

Well, again, you don't want to do that to that level.

4520.231 - 4520.792 Joe Starkey

Probably not.

4521.494 - 4524.842 Bob Pompeani

No. The older I get here, the less screens I want to look into.

4525.122 - 4549.108 Joe Starkey

What's the hockey game where you could do one-timers and was it blades? Like dome hockey? No, no, no. Video. Blades of Steel? That sounds about right. You could check people and you could do one-timers. I like that kind of stuff. I love that game too. What about boxing, Bob? Did you ever play the boxing game where the opponents would change and you could knock his block off? No. Something Joe?

Chapter 7: What are the key points about the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation?

4555.319 - 4570.02 Joe Starkey

It was an incredible game. Do you know what I'm talking about? Austin? Now he's interacting with other people and not talking on his radio show. Interacting with Pony. Tell him to blank off. Ask the question to Pony. Whoa! Can you talk to us, please? Yeah.

0

4570.06 - 4576.489 Bob Pompeani

What's the game? I don't know what the game is. Okay. It's a boxing game. Can't figure out the name of it.

0

4577.55 - 4586.426 Joe Starkey

But I never played it. Something Joe. That's what it was. Fighter? I don't remember. The text liners will know for sure. They'll text it in. Yes, they will.

0

4586.446 - 4599.486 Unknown

In about 10 seconds. All right, Bob, back to the clips. Here we go. Here is what Paul Skeens had to say about the Pirates rotation and how excited he is for it this year.

0

4599.726 - 4611.364 Ben Roethlisberger

Yeah, I mean, it's nice to have some competition. Obviously, there are five rotation spots, and we probably have 10 or 15 starters in camp right now. So, yeah.

Chapter 8: What are the Steelers' upcoming opponents and challenges?

4611.715 - 4641.098 Ben Roethlisberger

It's good to see that this competition can bring the best out of everybody. So looking forward to that competition and everybody's gonna be better off because of it. There's nothing stopping us from being, call it whatever you want, the best group we can be, the best group in baseball, whatever. The only thing that's gonna get in our way is ourselves.

0

4641.635 - 4651.347 Bob Pompeani

He throws those little nuggets in there, the best group in baseball. But I don't know that I agree that it's going to be 10 to 15 guys. They can take five from him.

0

4651.367 - 4655.892 Joe Starkey

I think he's meant there's 10 to 15 guys actually there competing.

0

4656.533 - 4671.434 Bob Pompeani

No, that's fine. But as far as I still don't think they have enough depth necessarily. I saw that Quintana went to Colorado. They were looking at him a little bit. They may need somebody else. They may have answers in their own system for all I see. But throughout the course of the year, I was looking up averages.

0

4671.534 - 4678.71 Bob Pompeani

Most major league teams go through nine starting pitchers over the course of a year that are used as starters. Yeah.

4679.232 - 4682.399 Joe Starkey

Now, did I see where Jared Jones was throwing the ball yesterday, Limit?

4682.519 - 4684.283 Bob Pompeani

Yeah, but they put him on 60-day DL.

4685.045 - 4692.104 Joe Starkey

But he was throwing well. That's pretty exciting. Even to get him by, what, June, mid-June or so?

4692.124 - 4693.526 Bob Pompeani

Yeah, I think that's where they're looking at.
