Sports, Spies, and Streaming Picks
Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of our podcast! We kicked things off with a casual chat about sobriety at events and quickly jumped into our live show, covering a wide range of topics from sports updates to some truly bizarre news stories, and of course, our personal streaming recommendations.

Sports Talk: Steelers and Super Bowl Predictions
We dove deep into the Pittsburgh sports scene, discussing the Steelers' offseason moves, particularly the hiring of Arthur Smith as the new offensive coordinator. We debated whether Smith was the right choice for the team and how his appointment might impact the Steelers' offensive strategy, especially with Kenny Pickett as the quarterback.

With the Super Bowl just around the corner, we revisited our predictions. I'm sticking with my bold call for a 49ers victory over the Chiefs, while the Grand Schwabini and Steve are both betting on the Chiefs to take the win. We also touched on some Super Bowl-related distractions, including a certain pop star's presence and a player's decision to skip the Grammys.

Offbeat News: The Case of the Accused Pigeon Spy
In a lighter segment, we couldn't help but share a headline that caught our eye: a pigeon in India was detained for eight months on suspicion of being a Chinese spy. It turns out the bird was just off course from a race in Taiwan. We had a good laugh about the absurdity of the situation and the lengths to which the authorities went to clear the pigeon's name.

What We're Watching: Personal Streaming Picks
We wrapped up the episode with our personal streaming picks. The Grand Schwabini recommended "The Leftovers" on HBO Max, a supernatural drama that explores the aftermath of a mysterious event where 2% of the world's population vanishes. Hockey Jesus shared his latest binge-watch, "The Trust: A Game of Greed" on Netflix, which is a reality show blending elements of "Survivor" and "Big Brother." As for me, I stumbled upon "Deep State" on MGM Plus, a gripping espionage thriller that's kept me hooked.

That's all for this episode! Remember, you can catch our show live on various platforms, and the podcast version is available right after on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you next time for more sports, laughs, and streaming recommendations.
