He's mischievous from the stuff, just like I was when
I was a kid. I don't know. If a man
has a little toddler and a little five year old
like that.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
It's mischievous. Here's how you can tell if you have
a mischievous child like Josh. If your child smiles and
it causes people around you to be like, oh my gosh,
that's the door. But when you see that same smile,
you're like, oh no, he has put the cat in
the dryer again. And that's Josh. Mean, he's always getting
in the stuff.

put a stop to that immediately. But I'm an uncle.
I was like, let's see what happens. You know, you guys,
he hit that can. He was instantly gold.

Elvis has just left up.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Eldie.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
In all the years that he made those calls and
all those quick little remarks and all those mic langisms,
I never heard him stumble on any of those. No,
it was flawless or anything.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yes, yeah, just wow. That makes me teary eyed to
hear all that. He passed away at his home here
in Pittsburgh yesterday at the age of seventy six.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
He was a.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
California native, but spent over four decades calling Penguin's games
before retiring ahead of the twenty twenty one twenty twenty
two season, and he was behind the mic for all
five of the Penguins Stanley Cup championships, and he was
inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame back in two
thousand and one.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know, as sports fans, Pittsburgh's you know, our heart
and soul is our sports stay. We are a sports
We have been blessed with some amazing broadcasters, Bob Prince
with the Pirates, Myron Cope, which is you heard him
stumble on everything, which but you know, he was so unique, yes,
and then of course Mike Lang, which I think might
(11:05):
be the best broadcaster I've ever heard.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Just nobody like him.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And the Penguins play the Capitals at three o'clock Saturday afternoon,
So if you're going to the game, I would get
there early. And if you're going to watch it, I'm
sure they're going to do some kind of tribute. They
won't let that pass.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Oh no, really, you know. And we've been blessed with
some amazing hockey players Mario and Sydney and Malkin and Yoger,
and they did some amazing things. But the magic was
intertwined with Mike Lang's call of all those Yeah, they
he really brought that magic to life. Yeah, he was amazing,
(11:42):
Yeah he was. Yeah. Elvis has left the building. Yeah,
so has Mike.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And since Today is Love your Pet Day. Do you
believe in love at first sight? A new survey asked
two thousand dog owners a few questions. Nearly nine and
ten say they believe in love at first sight with animals,
while only sixty two percent say the same about people.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Ah, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
They also found that more dog owners say they had
an instant connection with their dog than their partner, but
for three quarters they feel the bond with their dog
is stronger because they build it up over time. Some
pets are pretty pampered, as more than half of respond
and say they feed their dog better than they feed themselves.
I certainly did. While having a dog can be challenging
(12:28):
at times, eighty three percent field pet ownership is even
better than they expected, and the same number say that
even though it's messy and not always easy, they would
not change anything about their experience with their dog.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
With Ringo, he was a hospice dog, so I was like,
don't get attached to this dog because he may not live.
That was nine years ago.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
That's crazy. You've taken great care of them.
