This episode is quite literally the top of my mountain, my crown jewel moment, the summary of every podcast and every Comic Con I have attended. At the Great Lakes Comic-Con, I got to spend the entire weekend with Sam J. Jones himself, better known as Flash Gordon, Quarterback, NY Jets and Savior of the Universe. Growing up, Flash Gordon was on the same level as Star Wars to me, and I was not only star struck, but in awe of what an amazing person Sam Jones is. They always say, "Don't meet your heroes.", but in this case, I am so happy I was able to. I spent the entire weekend talking with Sam, but got to record our conversation for about 20 minutes where we talked about Hollywood, Flash Gordon, his appearance in Ted, his family, and life in general. This was bittersweet however, as the founder of Great Lakes Comic-Con, Mike DeSantis, tragically passed away a couple days before the event. I didn't get to thank him for this opportunity, but I am sure I will one day. RIP Mike. A million thank yous to my producer and co-host Randy Walker who spent hours cutting up 2hrs and 45 minutes of raw footage (because I didn't know how to work the Zoom mic).

RIP Mike Lange. The legendary Penguins broadcaster passed away yesterday at the age of 76. We reflected on the life and legacy left by Lange on Pittsburgh and in the hockey community. Legendary hockey PXP voice Doc Emrick joined the show. Doc reflected on his memories with Mike Lange and the legacy that he left on him. He told some stories about Lange and the preparation that went behind every broadcast. He said Lange is easily one of the heads that belongs on a Pittsburgh broadcasters Mt. Rushmore. Doc talked about being in the final three finalists for the Penguins PXP job in the early 70's – losing out to Lange. Doc reveled about the fun that is supposed to be had in PXP work and just how much fun Lange had in the booth. Doc shared moments of when he would listen to Lange on off nights. The guys joked with Doc about the Pirates downtime between playoff appearances. National sports talk show host Scott Ferrall joined the show. Scott, a native Pittsburgher, got his start in broadcasting due to Mike Lange. He told some WILD stories from his days hanging out with Lange. Scott became the voice of the Atlanta Thrashers and credited that to Lange. Scott labeled Lange as the best storyteller in sports broadcasting history. Scott went unhinged on some stories regarding his love for hockey, which he all fully credited to Lange. Scott described Lange as every titanic phrase in the book. We are also not sure if Scott took a breath in the 10 minutes he was on-air.
