Hoagies N' Pierogis

Recorded 6/25/25 My brain is fried from the heat, good lord. Congrats to the Thunder on winning the NBA Championship! Fans need to calm down, though. We can't be out here yelling at players about their dead mom. The most you'll get from me that's negative is an "OH, COME ON". Fanatics Fanfest kind of kept all the high profile athletes from doing anything stupid this weekend. Make sure to leave a l...

Recorded 6/18-19/25 There we go, getting into a groove on hump day with the podcast is always nice. I tried to wait out game 6 to add it in here, but it's actually looking like there might be a game 7 on Sunday night (it is currently 39-33 Pacers in the 2nd quarter as I type this). But there was PLENTY of crazy stuff that happened in MLB this week along with the Panthers winning the Stanley cup (d...

Recorded 6/11-12/25 Well that was much better, I'm in a better headspace after shaving completely for the first time in nearly 2 years and puking my guts out on Monday night. These NBA Finals are no joke, the Pirates are streaking, and Aaron Rodgers finally lost his game of chicken with the Steelers.

Recorded 6/4/25 Oh god, I was not prepared this week. End of May into June is the dead period for us since football is on a hiatus at this point. At least we're talking about basketball and not just complaining about the Pirates this year. Skip this one if you want, I didn't even say munch munch munch at the end and I feel bad for doing so. Make sure to leave a like and comment on each video and s...

Recorded 5/28/25 Breaking streaks, streaks of breaks, breaks of stake, breek a strake, there were a lot of streak breaking moments this past week! We'll hit 'em all in a shortie this week. NBA Conference finals are almost over, CFP bracket is getting a facelift, and Winthrop, Mass. seems like a nice place to bang out a 24 year old when you're 72. Make sure to leave a like and comment on each video...

Recorded 5/21/25 This episode almost didn't exist because I deleted it halfway through editing on accident, but I think it's one that's extremely important for HN'P lore; the day Ian walked the plank and committed mutiny against the Pirates until Nutting's reign of terror is over. Hello, Boston Red Sox! I mean it only makes sense, right? Make sure to leave a like and comment on each video and subs...

Recorded 5/13-15/25 We got a good one today with some NBA playoffs, MLB history, and the NFL schedules! Also along with schedules comes our yearly first reaction predictions, and we didn't do half bad last year! Let's hop right in.

Recorded 5/6/25 HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY TO ME! Back to our normal episode length, that editing process took forever and I can't be sitting here editing forever the night before my birthday. For as short of an episode this is, it's a banger. Just gonna leave it at that! Make sure to leave a like and comment on each video and subscribe to our YouTube channel! Hoagies N’ Pierogis is available on Spotify,...

Recorded 4/29/25 We can finally stop listening to the endless theories of the draft and get to work on the endless theories of who will win the Super Bowl based on the results of the draft. Aside from some Pirates baseball to clean up and some weird Belichick thing, this one is all about the 2025 NFL Draft. Enjoy! Make sure to leave a like and comment on each video and subscribe to our YouTube cha...

Recorded 4/22/25 Yeah, that intro will play. This episode comes out the same day as the draft starts, so we'll have our reactions and all that good stuff next week! In the mean time, we still have to go over the Mavericks, the Pirates suffering to do anything positive against anyone besides the Nationals, and some MUCH needed rule changes in college football for 2025. I am ready for the future. Ma...

Recorded 4/15/25 Today we’ll go over Luka making his return to Dallas, Mike Trout being robbed by a fan, you bet your ass we’ll talk about Kyren Lacy and Nico Iamaleava, and we have our first ever HN’P Mock Draft, 1 round, trades and everything (or so I thought). The mock draft turned out pretty well even though I would have had to pay real money to make a trade on PFF. Make sure to leave a like a...

Recorded 4/9/25 One month until my own birthday, I won't be forgetting that one. But enough about me, let's take this time to congratulate Alex Ovechkin, what an achievement and certainly one I never thought I'd ever see. We go over history, the finals of March Madness which needs a proper name, the Pirates being bad enough to consistently make good money, and some very important rule changes for...

Recorded 4/1/25 HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY TO THE PODCAST LET'S GO. THANK YOU TO THE FEW OF YOU FOR LISTENING AND I HOPE TO HAVE MADE YOU LAUGH AT MY STUPID JOKES. LET'S KEEP IT GOING INTO YEAR 4! Still just doing this for the fun of it and I genuinely enjoy the little bit of actual writing of jokes when possible. We go over all of the new ballpark foods, opening weekend stories, and March Madness, I gues...

Recorded 3/25/25 March Madness opening weekend: 1, Ian's bank account after 4 days of betting all waking hours: $-250. That was not fun, but at least we all shared in the misery that is possibly one of the chalkiest brackets of all time. Short one this week but there were some BOMBS dropped on Tuesday night that pertain to our teams, and they're all good bombs. Make sure to leave a like and commen...

Recorded 3/18/25 It's that time of year ladies and gentlemen, we gather for the annual March Madness Mayhem! What will this year bring? Last year I had my trip to the casino described as 9/11, so I don't know if it can get much worse than that. We're bringing a bracket to ya, we have some leftover signings, Carson Beck went from possible 1st rounder to cheating POS, and Japan woke everyone up in t...

Recorded 3/11/25 NFL Free Agency is here! We have all of the moves and commitments to go over through Wednesday, but we have to get to a small bit of hockey, a medium amount of basketball, and a decently large chunk of baseball before that. Make sure to tune into the channel for MLB The Show 25 content starting on Saturday, March 15th with a Road to the Show pitching career on the new GOAT difficu...

Recorded 3/4/2025 The 2025 NFL report cards are in and we get to see who made the honor roll, who just showed up, and who flunked out. Along with the combine, this was a week packed full of football goodness. Another HN'Pequinox where I mention all 4 major US sports, but we're really all here for the grades.

Recorded 2/25/25 Ah... warmer weather, baseball is back, the NFL scouting combine is this weekend... this is a great time to kick back and relax... BUT NOT FOR HN'P WE'RE OUT HERE GRINDING. There is a whole hodgepodge of ball sports things to cover, so let's dive right in. Another short one. Football really is the glue that holds this whole thing together. Make sure to leave a like and comment on...

Recorded 2/18/25 We got a quickie for you this week as we face the Sunday scaries post-SBLIX. There is still plenty to talk about as I propose a fix for the "boring" NBA, another expensive free agent gets signed along with some position change drama in MLB, and a big domino falls off the free agent board in the NFL as the window to Franchise tag players is now open until March 4th. Make sure to le...

Recorded 2/11/25 At least the only controversy surrounding the SB is aimed at what was occurring during halftime and not during the game. Congrats to the Eagles. As you could have probably guessed, this one is mostly about SBLIX and the halftime show, but we're getting ready to shift gears a little bit with Spring Training right around the corner. Make sure to leave a like and comment on each vide...

Recorded 2/4/25 What in the world is going on? Blockbuster NBA trades, blockbuster novels from Belichick, blockbuster NFL scandals... sports can put Blockbuster back in business! Move over Pro Bowl, there is some stuff that went DOWN this past week across the sporting world and we'll cover it all (or at least the relevant things) in #139. And yes, the purple and yellow are intentional. Make sure t...

Recorded 1/28/25 Please go check out the Kanye Night video on the Playaz Review channel! It was an incredible amount of fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7C1_-MJVWw Our pleas for Billy Wagner have finally been heard, nearly all of the HC vacancies have been filled, and we got the Big Game that literally no one asked for packed into this one! Get used to this length of episode, the offseason is...

Recorded 1/21/2025 A little bit of a shorter episode today, we have to spread some of the stuff that isn't games into the offseason so episodes won't be 15 minutes long until baseball starts. We cover the Dodgers being worse than the Golden State Warriors, the inaugural 12-team playoff champion, and the divisional round of the NFL playoffs with our predictions for the conference championship games...

Recorded 1/15/25 This really felt like the longest week between episodes ever. That's what trauma from a loss will do to you. I can't imagine how long those 2 days felt for Kyren Lacy before he declared for the draft after being the sole cause of a fatal accident. Both semifinals in this one, a recap of a not so wild wild card weekend, and a look toward the divisional round of the NFL playoffs thi...

Recorded 1/7/25 Best opening monologue yet, hands down. This was going to be a tame and fun episode going over the bowl games, Enigma: The Aaron Rodgers documentary, and celebrating the Patriots clinching the #1 overall pick. Joe Milton then proceeded to ruin my Sunday by winning the game and losing the #1 pick. At least Kraft made my day better and in turn the next couple months by FIRING JEROD M...
