Podcast appearances and mentions of orion kerkering

It looked like Aaron Nola's early-season struggles were been behind him.After starting the season 0-5 with a 6.45 ERA, he had a 3.33 ERA in his last four starts. But in Game 2 of a doubleheader against St. Louis on Wednesday night, Nola suffered the worst start of his career. He allowed a career-high 12 hits, a career-high nine runs and tied a career-high three home runs allowed in a 14-7 loss. How concerned should we be about Nola? Why did Rob Thomson have Nola start the fourth inning after he allowed five runs in the third?The Phillies won Game 1, 2-1, behind two excellent performances from right-handers Jordan Romano and Orion Kerkering. We talk about Romano, Kerkering and Kyle Schwarber's 47-game on-base streak coming to an end.Get 20% off your first Slab Pack or card purchase by going to ArenaClub.com/FOUL and use code FOUL.Get up to 10 FREE meals and a free high protein item for life at HelloFresh.com/FT10FM.

Bryson Stott scored the game winning run on a wild pitch as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 7-6 in the first game of a three game series at Citizens Bank Park. Zack Wheeler was excellent, once again, but took a no decision after Orion Kerkering gave up a 3-run homerun to Nathanial Lowe in the top of the 9th. Johan Rojas and Trea Turner contribute offensively, but struggle defensively. The Phillies are now 16-13 and on a 3 game winning streak.

(0:00-11:57) With the conclusion of the NFL Draft, we turn our attention to the Philadelphia Eagles' roster to identify potential replacements for departing players.

(11:57-20:40) In a recent incident, Tyrese Haliburton's father confronted Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court following the Pacers' victory over the Bucks, which marked the end of Milwaukee's season. (20:40-30:05) The NFL has imposed sanctions on the Atlanta Falcons for failing to protect confidential information, which led to Shedeur Sanders receiving prank calls. Connor believes that only the defensive coordinator and his son should face consequences, rather than the entire team. (30:05-43:20) Orion Kerkering has made some changes to his approach, but Ricky suggests he should revert to his previous strategies. Additionally, we will reveal the results of the Twitter poll.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher, Aaron Nola, turned in his best start of the season last night to help the Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 in extra innings and take two out of three in the series at Wrigley Field. Alec Bohm and Trea Turner drove in runs in the top of the tenth, and the bullpen of Orion Kerkering, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Romano shut the door in the last three innings. The Phillies are off today before starting a 3 game series at Citizens Bank Park against the Washington Nationals.

MLB is just printing money now, with deals for bad hats, alter-egos for minor league teams, and gold patches that will turn into collectibles and replica jerseys.  We really do buy all the things. It's time to pick our pitching squads (flocks?) and weirdly we leave LAD alone. Pottymouth finds her ideal law firm, and inner 12 year old, in ARI and Patti says PHI is the place to be. The Dodgers and Cubs visit Japan for exhibition games and the official start to the season, while the kids enjoy the Spring Breakout. Anyone want to buy the Rays? Because they are burning some bridges in Tampa. And Devers eats some humble pi.We say, “Oh dear, Tampa? It's usually Oh hell, Florida,” “Vento-mocha-cream-whatever the f*#k it is,” and, “We will get in a car and drive for Hooch Pooches.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Francisco Rojas is back with a brand new Phillies Today. On this edition, Fran talks about the results of the Hall of Fame election, that includes former Phillie Billy Wagner being enshrined into Cooperstown. Also, he discusses the possibility that Orion Kerkering could be the closer this coming season. Lastly, another "Around MLB" segment.

8.37 trips over MLB award season (0:39), finds some Star Wars news (4:00), validates the MLB predictions from the season (5:20), and reviews Orion Kerkering (24:20).

Grading the Phillies Bullpen with Carlos Estevez, José Ruiz, and Orión Kerkering. FACT OR FICTION: Juan Soto sweepstakes picks up on the bidding war HOF cases for JT Realmuto & Bryce Harper Title #8 in 2024 for the Los Angeles Dodgers The PHLY Phillies crew recap the latest on the World Series around the game 5 win. NL MVP Frontrunner Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Tommy Edman, and Los Angeles Dodgers defeat AL MVP Frontrunner Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Jazz Chisolm, and the New York Yankees.

Two weeks into the postseason, and the players have come to PLAY. Well…almost.  First up, we celebrate the Gold Glove nominations of Anthony Volpe and Steven Kwan!  Then, into the ALDS - Volpe finds himself in the middle of some Yankees-Royals postseason drama and Kwan hits a massive .524 and writes himself into the history books to help Cleveland advance. Across the league, the NLDS was a pitching masterclass. Orion Kerkering has a solid postseason for the Phillies, Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea keep the Mets afloat, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Yu Darvish face off in a historic matchup. Game 1 of the ALCS wasn't much to write home about if you're a position player, but the Guardians sacrifice Joey Cantillo to the Yankees' Murderer's Row and he pays the price.  In the NLCS, Kodai Senga struggles to get back into the swing of things but Sean Manaea stays cool, calm, and consistent in Game 2, and Ohtani is slumping at the exact wrong time but his teammate Tommy Edman shows himself to be the BUNT KING.  Volpe's great catch: https://www.mlb.com/yankees/video/vinnie-pasquantino-lines-out-softly-to-shortstop-anthony-volpe Volpe's double play: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5835577/2024/10/10/yankees-royals-benches-clear-alds-game-4/ 1977 ALCS: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/yankees-jazz-chisholm-accuses-royals-maikel-garcia-of-trying-to-hurt-anthony-volpe-on-slide-sore-loser/ Andy McCullough article: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5838152/2024/10/12/dodgers-yoshinobu-yamamoto-padres/ Dylan Hernandez article: https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/story/2024-10-15/shohei-ohtani-dodgers-nlcs-game-2-struggles

Back from our week off, did we miss anything?? As you might have expected, we have a BEEFY episode this week, so let's get into it! It was Team Ichiro vs the High School Girls All Stars in the annual exhibition at the Tokyo Dome to promote high school girls baseball, and the former pros pulled NO punches!! Then, we must discuss the epic Cubs and Dodgers matchup that saw Imanaga face Yamamoto fresh off the IL, where all of our guys came ready to play (except Ohtani…)!  In position player news, Rob Refsnyder and Bo Bichette sadly close the season on the IL, Steven Kwan is activated just in time for the playoffs (and keep voting for him for the Roberto Clemente Award through Sunday 9/29!), and Seiya Suzuki is locked into his new role as the everyday DH.  And our pitchers continue to impress! Kumar Rocker has an incredible major league debut, Yu Darvish reaches yet another milestone with 2k SO, Yusei Kikuchi is undefeated as an Astro, Sean Manaea gets another W but Orion Kerkering takes the L, and will these journalists ever learn how to not disrespect our guys when trying to write positive articles about them?! Lastly, what more could possibly be said about Ohtani? Uh, A LOT! Buckle up because we go through his historic game where he establishes the 50/50 club, the dizzying and strange ways he continues to be pitted against Aaron Judge for an award they can both win, and, as usual, people's racism is showing! 

Despite strong six innings from Aaron Nola, Phillies drop game three, and the series, to the Minnesota Twins, 5-4. Phillies offense stranded eight base runners through the first four innings, Orion Kerkering struggled with command in the 7th, and the Twins walk it off in the bottom of the ninth inning.  Join Renee Washington and Jamie Lynch, as the PHLY Phillies crew breaks down all the action from the series finale between the Phillies and Minnesota Twins.

We're rocketing toward the halfway point, and Asians in Baseball show no sign of slowing down! Of course, we have to start by congratulating our 2024 All Stars! And Ryu Hyun Jin makes All Star history across leagues. Closer to home, the Dodgers celebrate Japanese Heritage Night, and we get into what Dodger Stadium is doing for the new influx of Japanese fans. In position player news, Connor Wong brought back that dad strength from the paternity list, weird baserunning by Anthony Volpe leaves the door open for Masataka Yoshida to tie the game, Steven Kwan remains atop the leaderboard, and we get into the nitty gritty of what's going on with Corbin Carroll.  Our pitchers have a lot going on: Yusei Kikuchi is a valuable trade chip as we approach the deadline, Kenta Maeda is straight up not having a good time, Sean Manaea continues to ride that Big Grimace Energy, Orion Kerkering proves he can hang with the big dawgs, and Yu Darvish goes on the Restricted List.  Lastly, in Ohtani Talk, Elly De La Cruz sets the new bar, Shohei's “slump” continues but he still sets a couple of records, and we discuss the nightmare of what we think he will bring to this year's All Star Game red carpet.

It's a special All-Star edition of PT, as Paul and Matt talk about the team's seven(!) All-Star nods. Plus, Phillies pitcher Orion Kerkering drops by to chat about the clear and widening gaps between the upper minors and the Major Leagues, the mental and physical adjustments it takes to work on an unpredictable schedule, and the MVP of the bullpen hat-toss game.

Summertime always brings the heat, and this season is no exception!  Naomi was our field correspondent this week, reporting on her pick for the Most Asian MLB stadium. And don't forget, phase 1 All Star Voting is still going until June 27th!  Congrats is in order in position player news, as Connor Wong goes to the paternity list in the middle of his 13-game hitting streak! IKF shines with his first career multi-homer game, Yeli hits his 200th career homer, Steven Kwan is still tearing it up, and not one but TWO Taiwanese players sign with MLB teams.  In pitching, Shota Imanaga has seen better days (but leave him alone!), Sean Manaea takes a no hitter into the 6th on a day when the Mets offense does not have the Grimace bump, and Yuki Matsui is cruising. Our favorite MLB Fashion Icon, Shohei Ohtani, debuts his signature New Balance collection, gains power from the new Dodgers City Connects, and proves his “slump” is a thing of the past.  Steven Kwan profile in The Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5583940/2024/06/24/guardians-steven-kwan-pinball-hitting-success/ Nice article about Orion Kerkering: https://www.phillyvoice.com/phillies-news-analysis-orion-kerkering-bullpen-stats-rob-thomson-matt-strahm-jeff-hoffman/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asiansinbaseball/message

On Today's High Hopes Jackie Baseball Report, Fritz explains why he thinks the Phillies recent struggles are a good thing and positive signs from Seranthony Dominguez and Orion Kerkering. The guys also discuss the outfield bats, Kyle Schwarber, and much more.

It's May, so you know what that means: we gotta talk about Asians in Baseball! (Because that's what our podcast is about...obviously.) First up, we discuss AAPI Heritage Month - Naomi and Scott went to see the As in their final season in Oakland, and the OG OG Masanori Murakami was also in the Bay, watching the Dodgers and Giants.  Apparently we have a new weekly segment: Asians on the IL. While we did get some guys back, several guys went on. What the hell is going on around here?! Then, in position player news: Jahmai Jones hits his first career home run and is hugely celebrated by his Yankees teammates, Stuart Fairchild smacks an inside-the-parker, and Connor Wong is in a League of His Own gets both the first and last out of the game catching Nationals stealing bases. Pitchers are all over the place this week. Go Woo Suk aka “Suk-Go” is sent to Miami as part of the Luis Arraez trade, Sean Manaea has a strong start v the Phillies only for the Mets to blow the lead (but Orion Kerkering got the W), and Shota Imanaga stays atop the pitching charts with a 5-0 record and a 0.96 ERA. Lastly, Ohtani wears the World's Worst Suit to the Blue Diamond Gala, hams it up with Dave Roberts and a sports car, and, oh yeah, he also hit .524 and was MLB NL Player of the Week (but we were so distracted by his terrible suit we almost missed his stats).

In today's episode, Connor reacts to another series win for the Philadelphia Phillies, as they take 2 of their 3 games against the St. Louis Cardinals! Who came up big for the Phillies in the series finale, and who shined throughout the series? Also, it was a good exercise in sample size, as a couple of early season strugglers had better performances in this 3 game set. Next, with the offense still relatively quiet, there has been an interesting explanation from some players, including Nick Castellanos, as to why a new approach to hitting could be having some negative effects. Finally, an update on some injury news on Orion Kerkering and Taijuan Walker, the first of which could return to action with the Phils as early as this coming weekend! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PolicygeniusCheck life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

On Episode 794 of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis analyzes the weekend moves made by the Phillies as they firm up their Opening Day roster. Johan Rojas and Christian Pache are IN! Jake Cave is now a Rockie! Taijuan Walker & Orion Kerkering on the IL, Spencer Turnbull joins the rotation! Also, does Walker's injury mean the Phils are making a late push for Jordan Montgomery? John runs down the latest rumors!

In today's episode, Connor reacts to some big Philadelphia Phillies news from the weekend, as Jake Cave has been traded to the Colorado Rockies and Taijuan Walker and Orion Kerkering are heading to the IL. With Cave heading out of town, it seems that Johan Rojas and Cristian Pache are both going to make the team... is that the right move for the Phils? Next, with the injuries in the pitching staff, who is going to slot into the rotation in Walker's place as the season begins? Finally, in our Opening Day Countdown, can you guess who the best #3 in Phillies history is?? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

On Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week, Orion Kerkering. What would have been if Orion never got his big break? What type of work would he be doing if he wasn't a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would be selling mortgages or working as a laborer somewhere. They may have been just a jobber. Thanks for listening, please rate, review, and subscribe to the Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito wherever you pod.

(00:00-21:01) Today on Kincade & Salciunas, the show opens with Andrew asking, if the Eagles' season were to start today, is this team good enough to compete as an upper echelon team in the NFC? (21:01-32:28) The guys react to what Adam Schefter had to say on the show yesterday about the way the Eagles have constructed their roster. (32:38-41:28) John says the roster is better than last year for the Eagles but doesn't know what their mental game might be like after last season. (41:28-1:01:40) There was not a single coach from the Vic Fangio tree that ranked in the top 15 defenses last year. Then, what happened with the Sixers last night, and any interest in Paul George? (1:01:40-1:13:50) Andrew DiCecco from Inside The Birds answers the question of the day and gives us an update on the offseason from the Eagles. (1:30:50-1:22:08) Shohei Ohtani's interpreter is in trouble – did the MVP know? (1:22:08-1:41:47) The guys reset the main topic of the day about the Eagles competing. Then, Connor Thomas brings up some headlines that the guys have not touched on so far. (1:41:47-1:53:35) What is wrong with Orion Kerkering? (1:53:35-2:02:33) Should Johan Rojas make the Opening Day roster? (2:02:33-2:24:34) The guy's reset the conversation and circled back to the Ohtani controversy. Then, they reveal their March Madness picks. (2:24:34-2:36:36) The Phillies have joined Comcast-Spectator on the expansion project for the Stadium Complex. (2:36:36-2:49:19) The show wraps up with the Key-3 and a Bob Cooney crossover.

As we begin the final week's worth of spring games, the Phillies have a couple of injury contingencies to think about: How will Bryce Harper's ability to play 1B impact the bench spot battle, and how long will Orion Kerkering need to ramp up? Plus, Ranger's early availability and the impacts the Giants' Blake Snell move could have on the Wild Card race.

Show No. 6 is a Friday Full Edition, coming to you on Thursday because of Tout Wars weekend... We'll have interviews with Peter Kreutzer, from the Rotoman Guide at Substack and the Rotoman Fantasy Baseball Guide, and Matt Beagle, Strat-o-matic analyst at BHQ.com...

And in our second expert interview (2:09:50), Matt tells PD about the Strat-O-Matic game format, some players he has identified as good bets, and how those players (like Ryan Borucki and Wilmer Flores) map to standard Roto formats... ... In the Market Watch player news report, PD and Ray Murphy discuss pitcher news (1:11:20) about Gerrit Cole, Devin Williams and Emmanuel Clase, and hitter news (1:43:15), including Jose Altuve and Pete Alonso ...

Thanks to Preston for taking part of his day to talk.

Fantasy Baseball Live – October 22, 2023 @ 3pmSegment 1 – Review of NLCS and ALCS1.D-Backs vs. Philliesa.The Phillies take a 3-2 lead and look to be the superior team. I would think the edge goes to the Phillies.b.Ketel Marte has been great in the post season and was great in the regular season. His 2023 season compares more to his 2019 season, when he hit 32 home runs. But, in between, not so good. Who is Ketel Marte?c.Seriously, would you have thought that Harper would ever go higher in a draft than Mike Trout? He appears to be aging better than Trout.d.Recap: who wins the series?2.Rangers vs. Astrosa.The Rangers have the Astros just where they want them, as every road team has won each game.b.How much has Jordan Montgomery helped his fantasy stock next season? What do you think about these small sample sizes? Randy Arozerna became a star in the 2020 playoffs, but there are many players who were just hot for two weeks.c.Who wins this series?Segments 2 and 3 – NL East Fantasy Questions1.Atlanta Bravesa.Vaughn Grissom hit .330 in Triple-A but can't crack the Braves lineups. In early NFBC drafts, he's the 45th second baseman off the board. Is there any chance he gets enough playing time to warrant a pick in a draft?b.Sean Murphy hit .306 with 17 home runs in the first half. In the second half he hit a dreadful .159 with four home runs. However, he's the fifth catcher off the board. The splits were not there in 2022. Worthy of a Top 5 catcher off the board?c.Bryce Elder posted a decent ERA at 3.81 but only stuckout 128 in 31 starts (6.6 K/9). His xERA is 4.55. He's a sinker/change-up pitcher and usually sinker pitchers pitch more to contact. He's the 138th pitcher off the board, so he's going as a number 6 or so starter. Any interest?d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor and majors)2.Miami Marlinsa.I continue to be a Josh Bell apologist. He has above-average exit velos, makes league average contact with good on-base skills. Yet, he's just ok. Last year, he hit 22 home runs with 74 RBIs. Fine, but will he ever get close to the 37 home runs he popped in 2019, or is he just a 20ish, 75ish type of player?b.As you know, I love Eury Perez. The arsenal is off the charts, and baseballsavant suggest #1 starter stuff. Why am I struggling with him going as the #14 starter off the board? Will he pitch enough innings to warrant that? Isn't there a huge risk for him to be your #1 starter? Help? i.We will also look at other pitchers around where he is going to see if there are others we might take.c.Jesus Sanchez – Stat line for 2024 – AB, HR, RBI, BA d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor and majors)3.New York Metsa.I guess we need to start with Tim McLeod, GM. If you were GM of the Mets, what three moves would you make in the off-season?b.Dan Voglebach will be on or off the opening day roster? Warning: I have Mets friends who listen to this podcast, and the wrong answer could be painful to them and then ultimately to me (when I hear the complaints).c.Starlin Marte ranked in the 83 percentile in sprint speed in 2021, 68th in 2022, and 44th last season. It doesn't take a Ph.D. in Advanced Statistics to see that this is not a good trend. Over/under 25 stolen bases. He had 24 last season.d.Stat lines for these two kidsi.Brett Baty – AB, HR, BAii.Ronny Mauricio – AB, HR, SB, BAe.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor and majors)4.Philadelphia Philliesa.Are you comfortable taking Bryce Harper as a first-round pick (top of the second?i.Seriously, would you have thought that Harper would ever go higher in a draft than Mike Trout? He appears to be aging better than Trout.b.The working theory in fantasy circles is that Craig Kimbrell will move on and that Orion Kerkering will be the closer. What say you?c.He might have only won three games, but Christopher Sanchez was very good last season. He pitched to a 3.44 ERA (3.77 xERA). He's a sinker pitcher with a plus change-up and will never be a huge strikeout guy, but what do you think of him as a number four starter? He's going as the 94th pitcher off the board (or 65 to 70th starter). d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor and majors)5.Washington Nationalsa.CJ Abrams will finish the 2024 season as a Top ____________ fantasy shortstop.b.Kyle Finnegan, Hunter Harvey or someone else will be the closer for the Nationals?c.James Wood (#137) or Dylan Crew (#114). Who would you rather draft as a spec pick?d.McKenzie Gore – stat line for 2024. IP, wins, ERA, K'se.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor and majors).

Andrew opens the show reacting to the Phillies 2-1 loss to the D-Backs in Game 3 of the NLCS, despite the loss Andrew's confidence has not waivered and still believes the Phillies will win the series in 5 games (0:05-9:40). For the first-time all-season Andrew doesn't feel good about an Eagles game with the Dolphins coming in Sunday night and believes if the Eagles are to win on Sunday the offense doesn't need to be just good, they need to be great (9:40-31:05). Andrew and Ray give each other a hard time over whose fault it was for the Phillies losing last night and then they get into a conversation on Rob Thomson's decision to use Orion Kerkering in the 7th inning. In today's vault we take a listen back to moments from Game 6 of the 1980 World Series a 4-1 win leading to the Phillies 1st World Series title!! Ray also digs up audio following the trade of Dr. J to the Sixers, and a Brian Westbrook Punt Return for a TD! (31:05-54:10). Andrew goes takes some calls with a mixed reaction to last night's game leading to a conversation on whether the Phillies need to make any changes to the lineup. Then Andrew and Ray take a listen to Nick Sirianni's press conference as the team gets ready to take on the Miami Dolphins Sunday night (54:10-1:14:55). Andrew and Ray start to turn their attention to Game 4 tonight and take a look at Christopher Sanchez's numbers vs the D-Backs and Andrew has one in particular that he thinks could any Phillies doubters feel more comfortable for tonight's game (1:14:55-1:36:17). Andrew and Ray then get into a discussion about the bullpen and Rob Thomson's decisions last night and how that could affect who pitches tonight and tomorrow night in Game 5 (1:36:17-1:57:50). With a shaky start over the first Six games Andrew believes that this is a game where Jalen Hurts needs to ball out and wants to know if the Hurts vs Tua debate matters to you (1:57:50-2:17:56). Andrew and Ray give their final thoughts on Game 4 of the NLCS tonight and both believe the Phillies will win the pennant Saturday night, while Ray is still more confident in the Eagles picking up a win on Sunday night than Andrew. Andrew and Ray also compiled their SGP for Game 4 of the NLCS tonight (2:17:56-2:48:18).

We're joined by broadcasters from all over the system as we wrap up the Phillies minor league season! Thanks to Sam Jellenik from Lehigh Valley, Jake Starr from Reading, and Josh Sperber from Clearwater who sat down for a roundtable discussion about the 2023 Phillies minor league season. We talk about, of course, Orion Kerkering, who pitched at all four levels. Plus we give our Hitters and Pitchers of the Year at each level, breakout players from 2023, breakout picks for 2024, and shoutout players that had great years. It's a great way to wrap up the Phillies minor league season. Enjoy!

Rob Thomson compared Orion to who?? This is exciting to think about.

Ben and Carlos dig into some of the more interesting prospects to know from the Arizona Fall League rosters, including a few well-known players with a chance to make up for lost time, and a few lesser known names who could jump on the scene. Players include Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter, Tigers righthander Jackson Jobe and Blue Jays lefthander Ricky Tiedemann, among others.After that, the two talk about more big league call-ups, led by Phillies righthander Orion Kerkering, who went from an inconsistent starter and reliever at South Florida to one of the most exciting relievers in baseball in just over a year's time. They touch on Junior Caminero's promotion, and briefly look ahead to the top tier of prospects for the 2024 season, before talking about Evan Carter's power surge in the big leagues, and also touch on Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, lefthander Jordan Wicks, Reds infielder Noelvi Marte and Dodgers righthander Kyle Hurt. After that, the two talk about baseball's youth movement. The 2023 rookie hitting class is historic, and at the minor league level players are being pushed quicker than ever before. Why is that? Is it a good thing? And what are the pros and cons between development pro ball vs. college anyway?Finally, the two take a listener email that gets at some of these same questions.—Do you have a question you want us to answer?
