Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into another episode of our podcast. We had a bit of a rocky start with some technical hiccups, but we powered through and brought you a live show filled with sports talk and some Trader Joe's taste-testing.

Hockey Talk
We dove deep into hockey tonight, focusing on the Pittsburgh Penguins as they make their push for the playoffs. Hockey Jesus joined us to break down the scenarios for the Pens, discussing their current standing and what they need to do to secure a spot in the postseason. We analyzed their performance, the importance of winning games in regulation, and the potential tiebreakers that could come into play. Despite a goal being waved off during the live broadcast, we kept our spirits high and our beards thick in true playoff fashion.

Steelers Silence
We touched on the Steelers briefly, noting the quiet before the storm as we're about 10 days out from the NFL draft. There's speculation on whether the team will draft a tackle or a center, and we also discussed the potential acquisition of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk from the 49ers.

Buccos Report
Our Buccos report highlighted the Pittsburgh Pirates' current form, sitting at 11-5 and leading the NL Central. We discussed the lineup, the potential issues with depth, and the performance of key players like O'Neil Cruz. We also had a little rant about the absurdity of sports radio focusing on whether fans should boo players like David Bednar.

Trader Joe's Product of the Week
This week's Trader Joe's product was the Aeoli Garlic Mustard Sauce, which came highly recommended by a customer who literally bought out our entire shelf. We gave it a taste test live on the show, and it was a hit with its robust flavor and a bit of a kick.

Golf Chatter
We also had a brief chat about golf, celebrating a local amateur's performance at the Masters and debating the prestige of the green jacket compared to other sports trophies.

That's a wrap for this episode. Remember, you can catch the podcast right after the show on all major platforms. Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you next time on the porch!
