I am your host, Brad Rowland.

And today we have a special treat, a special guest, first time guest on the podcast.

He writes for just about every possible outlet on the internet, including

awful announcing the comeback and the outside corner. His name is Joe Lucia. What's up, man?

Thanks for having me today, Brad. I really appreciate it. I've wanted to have you for a long time.

It should be a lot of fun. I know you are a Braves guy, despite your national persona, I should say, but you

are a brave. Can I call you a Braves fan? Are you just a Brave-centric person? I always want to watch

what I say about fan, because people that do this for a living, you know what I mean? Like,

some people don't want to be called fans of a specific team, but I know you're interested in the Braves to be sure.

I mean, I'm a Braves fan.

I'm an OG Braves blogger.

I've been writing about the team since, oh gosh, 2009, I want to say.

Start off in the comment section of this very website back in 2007, so I go back a ways.

It's a beautiful thing.

You know, a lot of talent has at least at one point or another visited the comment section

at Talking Chop.
