Chapter 1: Why is the host feeling unwell at the start of the episode?
Bob, I'm not feeling well, and I'm blaming two of our producers for that.
Who may they be, and why aren't you feeling well?
Limits and Donnie Football. Okay, explain. First of all, I'm sick. I hate that feeling. Came on Saturday. It's like this inevitable push towards sickness that your body's going through, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. You just got to sit there and take it. Right, Bob?
pretty much you just got to deal with the consequences of being sick which is you feel lethargic you probably don't you know i'm angry too much i mean angry but you know these are short-lived you can get by not for me i never get a normal little sore throat it's either strep throat coving oh if you get your throat take it from me don't don't make it seem like it's a cold or a sinus infection which was last year and that was your fault by the way my
I think I have allergies. I've developed them at this. I've never had allergies before, but lately I've had. The red eye, you know, every watery eyes sneezing a lot. And I never did that. But the strep throat, take it seriously because it led to open heart surgeries for me. It's a virus. Believe me, I've had it like attacks those valves in your heart chamber.
I think I've had it probably five to eight times in my life. And I'm blaming limits because I'm sick because he said he's been sick. Who did I drive to the wedding with last weekend, Bob? And usually take seven to 10 days for a sickness to percolate.
Is that true, Bob? Seven to ten days for it to percolate? I have no idea, but I know you guys were in a car for about three hours.
Yes, we were. And he wasn't feeling well.
Well, no, that was more so stomach issues.

Chapter 2: What was the significance of Braylon Mullins' shot for UConn?
Monday, March 30th.
It's only March 30th. I thought it was April Fool's Day, Bob.
24 days away.
Yeah. We'll get into that. But the story of the day is the Penguins.
Chapter 3: How does Mullins' shot compare to Christian Laettner's iconic moment?
Absolutely. They have a de facto playoff game tonight. I mean, just a gigantic game on the island of all places. Their house of horrors throughout their franchise history to some degree, excluding maybe the Brooks Orpik goal. You remember that one in overtime in game six, Bob?
Yeah, that was.
I think Tyler Kennedy may have been intimately involved in that goal. Some people thought he deflected it. Am I right about that? I think so. Anyway, it's a de facto playoff game. Will Sid play? Will Gino play? If Columbus wins last night, the Penguins are in the second wildcard spot, even as we speak. So how just how must win is this game? I'd say a point is mandatory. Maybe that's even strong.
Two would be great. One is close to necessary and none. You start to put yourself in a very difficult position, but you still got games left. You have a game in hand on the Islanders and Columbus, I might add. So how big is the game to you?
I think it's big. Yeah. Minimum one, because it is a point collection system that we're using here. So minimum one. But to me, if you get two, you really hurt the Islanders who after that have to play the hurricanes twice a
Carolina has two against the Hurricanes as well the schedules ramp up for each of those teams where slightly ramps down for the Penguins so if you could put them out on a regulation loss which again is the first tiebreaker you also add to that in your pocket that would be big so if you do that you make a big statement but it's not going to be easy the Islanders
They beat Dallas the other day, and when Dallas came to Pittsburgh on Saturday, I thought this is a bad time for the Penguins to play Dallas. Not only did you not have your two top players, they also had lost two in a row. They had a miserable road trip, but they were due to take it out on somebody, and they did. So, yeah, I think this is important, and equal as important as tomorrow.
You're coming home against Detroit, which is right behind points. They're trying to get in. Last week, Joe, we sat here and said, well, the Flyers are not going to be a factor. I didn't say that. Didn't we say they're down? They were.
You know who else is still a factor? The Capitals. Yes. You know why? Because they have 83 points and they still play the Penguins twice.
