  • Just a Heads Up

    Your volume on YouTube is so low that it makes the show impossible to listen to; because, the advertisements come on at a startlingly loud volume in comparison. This is a problem for your entire station, not just your show. 5 stars but please address.

    Edit: it seems like you fixed this. Thank you.

    Ron & Pomp are great. Joe is difficult to listen to. Always sounds as if he’s one bad day away from a breakdown.

    Now that Ron is gone, the show is just blah. Joe’s neurotic. Paul is boring. There are a few guests I listen to, and delete all the rest.

  • Allegheny white fish

    You guys were hilarious talking about fishing and the fish that live in the three rivers but I just have to let you know that Allegheny white fish (or Monongahela white fish) are more commonly known as used condums. Do you feel enlightened?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Matt Clement thought it was a non-story the Pirates removed Jared Jones
Q: Do you think Jones should have been left in longer or pulled earlier?
Clement suggested that extending Jones for one more inning could have been reasonable given his recent track record, the bullpen's state, and the ride of the rehab arc, but emphasized that the decision must align with medical and long-term health considerations.
Matt Clement thought it was a non-story the Pirates removed Jared Jones
Q: What did you think of them pulling Jones after six innings and 77 pitches?
Matt Clement said it wasn't a story to him initially and framed it as a routine, conservative decision likely aligned with a broader rehab plan, while acknowledging others might view it differently given the potential upside of a longer outing.
10AM - Did Pirates make the right decision pulling Jared Jones from perfect game? Matt Clement thought it was a non-story the Pirates removed Jared Jones
Q: What did you think of them pulling Jones after six innings and 77 pitches?
Matt Clement considered it the easy right move given the pitcher's rehab status and the surrounding bullpen issues, noting concern about risk to a player returning from elbow surgery but acknowledging it as a prudent in-game decision under the circumstances.
10AM - Greatest performances in Pittsburgh sports history after O'Hearn's 10 RBIs! Pitt historian Sam Sciullo on Tony Dorsett, Paul Steigerwald on Mario's record performances
Q: What was the greatest single-game performance you witnessed in person?
The hosts discuss a spectrum of performances, ultimately highlighting Harvey Haddix's 12 perfect innings as a historic pitching feat and Mario Lemieux's five-goal, five-way night as the pinnacle in hockey, with debate about the ordering of these moments.
