Hoagies N' Pierogis

I hope yinz like anime because that's what the first 7 minutes are about (One Piece, specifically). But if you don't like that, this episode is chock full of the latest on the NBA and NHL finals, MLB contracts gone wild, whacky walkoffs, D-Hop, and much more!

We decided to record during the back half of the Celtics-Heat game to see if the Celtics could complete history by becoming the first team to win a series after being down 3-0.Unfortunately (or fortunately for my bank account) they could not do it and fell mightily short in game 7. Finals between the Heat and Nuggets starts on Thursday. The NHL finals are set as well! The Golden Knights will be fa...

After another incredible weekend the boys are EXHAUSTED. We squeezed as much out of this one as possible and it didn't turn out too bad! We are FINALLY incorporating more NBA and NHL to diversify our technical offseason! All series are lopsided, (Heat, Nuggets up 3-0, Golden Knights, Panthers up 2-0) but that just means the best teams will be facing each other in the championship rounds. Loads of...

These are not predictions, this is what is actually going to happen. So get those sportsbooks out and start placing those O/U win totals! (Not really, do not take this is truth) Yes, the schedules have been released, the 76ers have been eliminated from the playoffs, the Golden Knights trek on, Bo Jackson has to have the most embarrassing procedure ever for being so badass, and much more in this we...

Happy Birthday to the HN'P boys! Shorter episode this week, not too much happened. BUT. Sixers tied up the series after we recorded, CFP bowl schedules were announced, the Pirates are coming back down to Earth, and all is quiet before the now highly anticipated NFL schedule release on Thursday, May 11th. Next week's episode will be full of bold predictions and hopes and dreams. Thank you all!! Let...

What a contrast to last year! This draft feels very special for our respective teams. Some HUGE Pirates news dropped early in the week to tide me over until the draft and then the Pats go and have their best draft since 2012. GREAT week to be a fan of both. Meanwhile the Eagles are turning into the 5th and 6th year Georgia Bulldogs, too bad they didn't get the 7th year Bulldog in Bennett. This is...

We're too excited for the draft, so let's get into it! We go over the Aaron Rodgers trade, Jalen Hurts contract extension, Ian's Benadryl story, our final predictions for the draft, a big rule change for college football, and the Sixers sweep the Nets! That and more on Hoagies N' Pierogis! Thanks for tuning in! Recorded 4/24/23

A break is good for the soul and the brain. We made our way around the baseball world these past 2 weeks, 2 16-year old streaks end, our first song parody, and we're ready for the NFL draft! This was the most fun I had doing an episode. Great way to start off year 2. Let's get after it!

IT'S OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. Coming to you live from our respective rooms for the past year has been fun. I'm not going to say nothing but fun because that's not true. RJ decided he wanted to throw something on the table and let it roll for like 2 minutes straight so I just cut out that portion of the audio. Truly don't have time for that bullshit. Other than my own pet peeves with recording and...

UCONN IS IAN'S SAVIOR. He wins the bracket pool after the correct dominos fell this weekend, of which there were more than a few. It has been a great tournament so far, but UCONN looks like they have the firepower to win it all. Long week and there was some funny stuff, but we were a little wordy in this one to fit it all in. Audacity also keeps switching my audio input to my laptop mic, so sorry...

Madness was afoot this weekend in the NCAA Tournament! So much madness in fact that there was too much brain fog to do a live episode. But we manage to make it through and go over our bracket, most of the NFL FA contracts that have been inked so far, and surprising RJ with some baseball news. I'm starting to learn that doing an episode hungover is bad when you're with people that don't know how to...

March Madness is almost upon us and it's time to fill out those brackets! We weren't planning on filling one out together, but here we are. We get the rest of the business out of the way first though, no time to eat this week (even though that was by far our most popular episode). Enjoy! We'll have some special guests next week for some Madness shenanigans! Recorded 3/12/23

Tell all your friends, we have our first food review! The Double Down is back at KFC, the NFL scouting combine was average, NFL report cards are out, House Party is a surprise sports movie, and much more in this episode! I feel like we've been reaching a flow state the past few episodes! We seem to be getting consistently better even if there's a short itinerary. Keep supporting and watching and l...

Well would you look at that, it's a baseball episode! There were some pretty damn good impressions in this one, Machado strikes a new extension, the pitch clock is heaven-sent, Aaron Rodgers spent the weekend in his Hobbit house, and the combine starts TODAY (2/28/23). And much more! Eat up! Thank you all for listening! Make sure to like, comment, and of course subscribe on YouTube. Recorded 2/26/...

If you think our high points are past us because the NFL season is over, think again! RJ got to see his reaction, Ian got into baseball cards, all NFL teams got their head coach, and Mark Davis got a HAIR CUT. This is a very calm, cool, and collected episode! Articulate and to the point (for the most part, I cut out 10 minutes of Yu-Gi-Oh talk because it was weird) with some good jokes thrown in a...

The event we have all been waiting for was one of the best games of the season. It may not have gone quite the way we wanted, but we all had a fantastic time covering our first Big NFL Game on the show! This is nothing short of hilarious and the YouTube video is the way to go here. RJ IS A WILD MAN. Recorded 2/12/23

The anticipation is building for the big game and what better way to prepare than flag football! Tune in this week for a heartfelt moment, some burns, and what we hope will happen next Sunday! The 57th Big Bowl is coming our way and RJ is cool, calm, and collected after passing his boards and becoming an official nurse! Congrats to RJ!! Thank you everyone! Recorded 2/5/23

We're BOTH starting to see green after Championship Sunday! The Bengals disappointed in clutch time while Mahomes and the Chiefs grinded out the win. Purdy tore his UCL and the Eagles embarrassed the 49ers after he had to come back in the game. Hopefully Mahomes magic doesn't strike in 2 weeks, or else Ian is done betting for good. As always we go around the league before the going over the games...

Impostors everywhere! The Giants, the Cowboys, the Bills, DAMAR HAMLIN. Divisional weekend did not live up to the hype of Wild Card weekend, but that just sets up Championship Sunday to be even better! RJ's premonition about the Eagles is looking to be the prediction of the year so far, they were looking dominant and so were the Bengals. Let's go into Championship season hungry! MUNCHMUNCHMUNCHMUN...

Wild card weekend definitely lived up to the hype, but we know the Divisional round goes hard AF. RJ let bias get in the way of his picks and went 3-3, Ian decided that picking NFC East teams was smart and went 5-1. Damn Chargers. What a great week for Pirates/Patriots fans of which I know only one other! McCutchen is back and New England is looking for an actual OC. Life is good! Recorded 1/17/23

Quite the week for football. A lot of ups and downs along the way. Damar Hamlin's health is paramount and a life will always take precedent over sports. But what better way to move forward than a little love and a lot of laughs? We'll be here through thicc and thin and if we make you laugh, or feel even a little bit better about anything, that's what we're here for. Thank you everyone! We're movin...

So much had happened over the weekend we just had to do another episode to catch up on it all! CFP games were WILD, New Years was chill, and there will be no lack of theatrics and storylines going into the final week of the NFL regular season. This one is back on track and stays on the rails, even for a little bit longer than we were planning! We're coming hard and fast for 2023. Recorded 1/2/23

Wow, this one was CRAZY! Ian decided to start drinking at 12pm on Friday and things go off the rails pretty quick. THESE ARE JOKES PEOPLE. Recorded 12/30/22

Here's a little early gift for you this holiday season! In my honest opinion, one of the best episodes we've done. Flowed well, made some good jokes as opposed to that fleeced bullshit that RJ tried to bring me down to in this one, it was excellent. Everyone stay safe for the holidays and we'll meet back here one more time before 2023. Enjoy! Recorded 12/23/22

Hello everybody and welcome back to Hoagies N' Pierogis. We're righting the ship going into the New Year and trying to deliver a quality podcast with quality sound and quality content. Maybe if RJ would stop recording in the kitchen... The holidays are just around the corner! Get some last minute shopping done online with HN'P on in the background! Everybody have safe travels!
