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

0.031 - 18.153 Unknown

I'm surprised nobody's complimenting me on my haircut yet. It looks wonderful. That's tight. Yeah, now you say it, Bob. Only a couple left. That's true. They took out the thing. Colic? What? A colic? Do you have a colic? Like the little cow.

0

18.173 - 22.359 Bob Pompeani

That's something that goes in the wrong direction. It goes opposite the grain.

0

22.499 - 25.903 Unknown

No, there's a thing at Sport Clips that's like...

0

25.883 - 48.972 Unknown

they shave the head your head right down to the to the skin wood yeah it's like a foil thing have you heard of that limits no honestly yeah so i'm basically bald on the sides and in the back and then i have a nice little wisp of hair on top bob i think it's rather it looks really good yeah yeah do you agree with that i wouldn't have noticed you got your hair cut just because i know

0

50.285 - 53.69 Unknown

You're getting there, Tyler. You're starting to thin out just a little.

53.73 - 56.954 Austin Bechtold

I'm just saying. Well, I'm going to pay for new hair, so we'll be okay.

56.974 - 60.159 Unknown

Are you really? You're going the Robbie Brown method.

61.661 - 66.227 Austin Bechtold

Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I don't want to put it out there.

66.268 - 69.172 Bob Pompeani

There are different ways. They've come a long way in technology.

Chapter 2: What happened during the altercation involving Gavin McKenna?

267.814 - 272.502 Unknown

Has there been other sort of mainstream reporting that said what prompted this?

0

273.243 - 299.481 Jeff Hathorne

Yeah. So basically what I have seen is that it was there was a team function at an establishment, a popular establishment at Penn State. And the guy was being the guy was harassing Gavin McKenna's mother and family and just continued just to go at them. And the altercation occurred in the it wasn't in the bar. It was in the street outside of the establishment.

0

299.461 - 322.394 Jeff Hathorne

And that's where the report, or multiple people have put out there, again, just allegedly, that the guy's jaw was broken. I think that was in the Onward State report that was put out there officially. And that he needed, a tooth was missing and needed corrective surgery to fix the broken jaw, which is going to take a while to be able to heal, obviously.

0

322.495 - 325.519 Jeff Hathorne

But that the guy just kept going at McKenna and McKenna struck back.

0

326.275 - 331.008 Bob Pompeani

Just a good Western boy. Tyler Kennedy. Kennedy. Kennedy. We have to get your opinion.

332.055 - 343.159 Austin Bechtold

Well. This is what happens, right? When you run your mouth, like the guy, I don't know what this kid's name is, but take it like a man, right?

343.52 - 348.445 Bob Pompeani

Well, he was a man. He was 21 years old. You're talking about Gavin McKenna or you're talking about the guy who did it?

348.465 - 350.187 Austin Bechtold

The guy that got hit. You're going to run your mouth?

350.207 - 352.189 Bob Pompeani

He's three years older than Gavin McKenna.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of McKenna's actions on his career?

904.718 - 925.807 Austin Bechtold

And the difference from my first year in the NHL to my last year, when we went to a team party, everyone had to leave their phones at the front door from everyone coming in to everyone leaving. That's the only time you got your phone back was when you left the bar or when you left the event. And it was just because pictures get taken out of context, all this crazy stuff.

0

925.827 - 942.59 Austin Bechtold

And my first year, it was just like, you know, the pictures were so bad because the cameras were so bad. But now it almost feels like everyone's got their eyes on them no matter what. There's always a camera. So you do have to watch everything. That's a big mistake by him.

0

943.452 - 948.358 Unknown

Well, I wonder what's going to happen moving forward with him. That's one of the questions here is does he play again?

0

948.378 - 959.732 Austin Bechtold

Oh, 100%. I mean, at Penn State. I think Penn State's got quite a few lawyers, and I think you'd have that legal team, and I think it's already all taken care of. But...

0

959.898 - 974.807 Bob Pompeani

Oh, I don't know about that. I think there's still more to come from that point of view. But they issued a statement. They are aware of it. They're not going to comment anymore, which is the typical reaction of a team that says, we understand it's happened. We are looking into it. Investigation continues. We won't comment until whenever.

974.927 - 982.362 Bob Pompeani

So for now, if you're asking me if he's going to play soon, I don't know if he will play soon. Do you?

983.287 - 993.24 Austin Bechtold

You think it changes his stock in the draft? Probably not. No, absolutely not. And it shouldn't, to be honest. It shouldn't. How much did DK's fine cost him? How much did it cost him?

993.32 - 996.885 Unknown

I don't remember. I know the other guy is now suing everybody for $100 million.

996.905 - 1000.37 Bob Pompeani

It cost him two games for like $500,000 or whatever he was making.

Chapter 4: How do the Ravens and Steelers compare in their coaching decisions?

1313.599 - 1331.028 Bob Pompeani

And I think Stuart Skinner, one of the things about him that I thought was good about him is that He understood that, and even with that team playing that way, not so much in the playoffs, they clamped down, but he made saves when he had to. He wasn't the greatest regular season goaltender, but he was okay. They wanted better. They thought Jari would be better.

0

1331.309 - 1337.158 Bob Pompeani

Tyler, it's gone the other way, and as bad as Stuart Skinner was the other night for the Penguins, overall, he's been pretty good.

0

1337.324 - 1361.575 Austin Bechtold

Yeah, and I think Jari's a guy that lets the pressure get to him a little bit, right? Like he struggled in playoffs. I feel like he feels the pressure from the media, from the outside. And when he got traded to Edmonton going back, to I think where he's from or where he played junior, like that was not a good situation going there for him.

0

1361.695 - 1384.163 Austin Bechtold

In my opinion, I think he's better off to go to a team like Carolina or somewhere where the spotlight's not just on him or the hockey. He needs to go a little bit less pressure field and him going to Edmonton. I don't think it's helped his cause helped his career and Boy, if you want to piss off teammates.

0

1384.523 - 1406.174 Unknown

Well, let's get to that then. Listen to this. Dreisaitl was asked to comment last night, and I think this was about what Jari was saying, but it was also about the game. He said, it goes hand in hand. We got to defend better. We've got to make it easier on him, and then I'm sure he can be a little bit better too. It's a two-way street.

1406.194 - 1420.136 Unknown

It starts with us in front of him, and then the game becomes a little easier for him. But I think there are saves that our goalies need to make at some point. Wow! You don't hear this stuff coming out of hockey locker rooms.

1420.797 - 1445.277 Austin Bechtold

Yeah, that's like a huge no-no. Wow! Especially saying that. But I think... You don't say that unless he said something first, in my opinion. And he did. And he did. And there are certain guys that can call guys out. Guys that you can look at your own game and say it's almost. Like Sid can call guys out. Malkin, Letang.

1445.257 - 1449.022 Bob Pompeani

But they rarely do, though. No, because they know. It's like a code. It's like a code of honor.

1449.042 - 1466.585 Unknown

I don't think I've ever seen it. Honestly, I've been around covering this team for, and I haven't been around lately, I should say, but I've covered the team for 25 years, and I don't think, I could be wrong, that I ever heard a player in that locker room say that about one of your goalies.

Chapter 5: What story about Gretchen is shared?

4779.557 - 4800.752 Unknown

That's not a shot. Things end up well or poorly, Bob. Remember Ron's story about the girl named Gretchen? Gretchen. Oh, no, not Gretchen. He went on a date with her. I remember. And after it, as he dropped her off, she puked off her porch, to which I christened her Gretchen Gretchen. That's not the ending you want. No.

0

4800.935 - 4807.826 Jeff Hathorne

That's bad. A texter says you're wrong limits. You're looking immature right now. I don't think that's the case. Do I look immature?

0

4807.846 - 4813.215 Unknown

I think you're making a stand for yourself. And I think a lot of people do that. And again, I've done it.

0

Chapter 6: What advice is given regarding personal limits?

4813.395 - 4822.371 Unknown

And in certain situations, I needed to hear outside counsel. You may not. And I respect that. I'm just telling you my experience, Bob.

0

4822.752 - 4837.607 Bob Pompeani

But I also think you learn from that. You get better as a person when you expand the horizon a little bit, especially to something you're not maybe used to the viewing. And you go and you listen and you come away thinking, oh, I like that. And you could then make an impression on your date that night.

0

4838.06 - 4845.501 Jeff Hathorne

Now I have friends of mine that are calling me right now that are probably listening to the show. You know I'm on the air. My friend Nick is calling me. You know I'm on the air right now.

0

4845.521 - 4850.013 Bob Pompeani

Put Nick on the air right now. Can you do that? Tell him you're on the air. I called my personal phone. I know. Put him on.

0

4850.033 - 4863.921 Unknown

Nick is just telling you what you want to hear, I think. That's my fear for you. A limitless wonder. Bob, all hell's broken loose here on Pomp and Joe. Fan Twitter brought to you by South Hills Kia Peters Township. Visit them at SouthHillsKia.net.

4863.961 - 4888.367 Unknown

The text line brought to you by Edgar Snyder & Associates, a personal injury law firm, where they always say there's never a fee unless we get money for you. And the fan hotline presented by Sullivan Super Service, providing trusted plumbing and HVAC service for over 50 years. I don't know. I guess I'll distill it down to dating advice for limits has become a point of contention. We're trying to.

4889.647 - 4892.292 Unknown

Give the man a little help. He doesn't want it, and that's okay.

Chapter 7: What are the listeners saying about the dating advice?

4892.712 - 4905.354 Unknown

And I think I'm backing off. However, a lot of people weighing in on this, some hate it, some love it. What are they saying, Limits? What are they saying on the text? Do people want to talk on the phone line? What's happening here?

0

4905.374 - 4910.423 Jeff Hathorne

Oh, my. Yeah, the text line has gone absolutely berserk.

0

4910.403 - 4935.178 Jeff Hathorne

with this uh current topic one person texts in this makes great radio my man the next person texts in guys this is absolutely terrible radio neither funny nor interesting another texter says you're living in your fears dude you're on a popular pittsburgh radio station treat people like they should feel lucky to have your attention stop being soft

0

4935.158 - 4935.96 Unknown

There you go, Bob.

0

4935.98 - 4941.891 Jeff Hathorne

How about that text, Bob? Another texter says, is this sports talk radio or Delilah at night?

4942.612 - 4950.969 Bob Pompeani

I like that, too. Every now and then we do go into Delilah territory, yes. Delilah. Well. Austin, what is your issue?

4951.47 - 4952.612 Unknown

I guess there's a call or two.

4952.632 - 4955.277 Jeff Hathorne

Doesn't Delilah have such a soft and soothing voice?

4955.628 - 4960.838 Unknown

I think so. And there's also the Mike McCarthy topic.

Chapter 8: How does the discussion shift to the NFL draft and team strategies?

4997.067 - 5021.387 Unknown

I've listened to ever since Austin has been on this station, and I have a lot of admiration for him. Let me tell you more than Bob. So this isn't from a young man's perspective. This is from an older man's perspective. You know, Austin puts up with a lot of stuff from all you guys, a lot of mocking, a lot of what you guys call fun, and I'm sure it always has effects on him later on. Limits.

0

5021.467 - 5022.989 Unknown

You're going to need therapy after this.

0

5023.149 - 5024.832 Jeff Hathorne

Wow, Joe's really going by the fence.

0

5025.032 - 5035.019 Unknown

That's not where I'm going. I think Bob and Joe and the PM team guys all need to go see therapists. I already see one. I already see one.

0

5035.039 - 5039.986 Bob Pompeani

First of all, you're misconstruing what, from my point of view, it's just trying to help. That's all.

5040.286 - 5046.635 Unknown

Nobody wants unsolicited advice, especially in something so personal, Bob. Okay?

5046.976 - 5049.5 Bob Pompeani

Yeah, but there is such a thing as wisdom, you know?

5049.58 - 5055.71 Unknown

I mean, just trying to give a guy... Oh, yeah, but Bob, Bob, you're not his dad. Sometimes I feel like I am.

5055.73 - 5056.933 Jeff Hathorne

Bob is my friend and mentor, though.
