This is the Late Royal Podcast with your host, JJ Zacharyse.

What's up everyone it's JJ Zacharyse and the editor-in-chief over at numberfire.com

and this is episode 22 of the Late Round Podcast, one of the many shows that are part

of the Number Fire Podcast Network.

Thanks for tuning in.

Guys, it happened.

As I've said time and time again, you don't listen to this podcast from my hockey

The Penguins are Stanley Cup champions.

Once again, back to back, two years, two cups, and this guy, I'm pointing to myself right

Being a fan is an incredible thing.

The bond you share with strangers, the ups and downs you experience watching your favorite

team, it's why people love sports.

And I think it's healthy for you guys to know me.

If you're going to take advice from me and listen to me in a podcast form, why not know

me a little bit?

Why not know that despite not living there anymore, I was born and raised in Pittsburgh,

graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, and I'm a full-fledged Yenzer, aside from the

fact that I don't have the standard Pittsburgh ease accent.
