Here's your host, J.J. Regan.

Thank you, Joe.

Welcome in, everybody, to another edition of NBC Sports, Washington's Capitals Faceoff podcast.

I'm your host.

The Capitals correspondent, JJ Regan.

With me today, he is the Capitol's insider.

He is the Dennis Rodman to my Michael Jordan.

He's starting out with Sheratark. Dennis Rodman to my Michael Jordan. What happened to Scotty Pippen? You just skipped over him? Well, I have more respect for Scotty Pippen than I do for Dennis Robin. They would not have won those championships without Dennis Rodman. Mostly I did that for your affinity for North Korea I know you're a big North Korea

I thought it was for my affinity for for body piercings that that too of which I have none

for the record for people who don't know Tarek loves showing off his body pierces every

time he gets to the office and tattoos seriously folks I have none of the above just

yesterday came into the office in a wedding dress. It was weird. It was weird. But anyway, special podcast today because it is the mailbag podcast. There is the traditional Tark cough. And Steve. This room. It's a sick room. What is this? The studio. Every time we are in the studio, Tark. Tark's body goes insane. But I'm glad we got it out of the way early this podcast. Anyway, it's a mailbag podcast and what we are going to talk about today. You guys send in the questions. You guys determine the topics. We got a lot of good stuff from you guys, so we are going to jump right in.

First, frequent contributor, Lisa Desabre.

Hi, Lisa.

JJ, keep up the intros as I enjoy Targ's reaction to them.

I take that back.

Some people say Jay Beagle is easily replaceable.

I tend to disagree.
