Helmet Hair: Recent Episodes
PodHub Network
Everyone's talking about the big game, but we're talking about the big FEAST. Eddie Provident and Zach Smith join me today to talk about the menu from my Super Bowl Party (and playoff food bracket), and we have an absolute blast. If you have Chiefs fatigue, this will be a soothing balm for your weary ears. Cheers.
We're BACK baby, and it feels oh so good. To kick off the new year and the first new episode in months, Joey Mulinaro joins me to talk about life as a new dad, the ebbs and flows of the Steelers' 2022 season, and we get into some fun Super Bowl LVII speculation and players to watch. Since Pittsburgh isn't being represented in this championship game, I opted for the Double Nugget Nectar from Troegs for happy hour. Cheers

SO. MUCH. Mike Tomlin got a contract extension, the Steelers are probably drafting a running back in round one, the Penguins are confusing, and the Pirates are...not awful?? I have thoughts on all of it and some big announcements, all while I kick off a new beer series featuring all things tart with the Yinzbetto #27 from Ever Grain in Camp Hill. Cheers.
Can you even believe we're celebrating the one year anniversary of the debut episode of Helmet Hair? I sure can't. If you missed the livestream event, here it is in all its glory - all two hours of me hanging with my friends Amanda, Hunter, Josh, Alana, Sean, Taylor, Nick, and Noah. Cheers.
Cody's art...is the prettiest art.....of all the art.
No, but for real. Cody Sabol is one talented guy. And it was an honor to have him in the virtual guest seat-of-honor for this week's episode to talk about his love of painting and art and how he started out, all while sipping on the third brew in Eleventh Hour's Slice series - a strawberry/dark cherry/sweet cherry pie fruited sour. Cheers.
Welcome back to everyone's favorite time of day, happy hour. Barstool Sports' Joey Mulinaro sits down with me this week to talk Steelers, NFL Draft, and the upcoming 2021 season. And boy do we ever go into the nitty gritty (here's hoping they go Najee at 24), all while I sip on a refreshing and beachy kettle sour from my friends Trace in Bloomfield. Cheers.
This weekend was a DOOZY and there is so much to unpack. Join me as I sit down with DK Pittsburgh Sports' Steelers writer Chris Carter to go in-depth on the NFL Draft, the upcoming season, and how we feel about all of it, all while I drink a delightfully tart and crisp Berliner Weisse from Voodoo Brewing. Cheers.
I have totally gone off the deep end this week. Not only was I way too close to Philly for comfort, but I invited my good friend Brandon (a self-proclaimed "Flyers' fan") to come hang out, drink beer, and talk hockey. He was a great sport and handled the roasting and the alcohol with great aplomb - as much as you can have rooting for that garbage team. Cheers.
The haze continues with a piney juicy double dry-hopped IPA from Strange Roots, and along for the ride is my friend Josh to talk Penguins hockey. We go into Bryan Rust, Teddy Blueger, powerplay struggles, and whether or not this team is a legitimate Cup contender. Cheers.
Is this the Penguins' broadcast booth?? Nope, just my living room. But it sure feels like it could be since just one week after Mearsy stopped by, Josh Getzoff is here to hang and have a beer. Join us both as we dive into Penguins hockey, broadcasting, and our love of beer. Josh has Moving Castle I from Trace and I'm sipping on Icicle, another hazy from New Trail. Cheers.
Today's episode is extra special short, because there's only one piece of news we need to talk about - the Penguins' hiring of Brian Burke as President of Hockey Operations and Ron Hextall as General Manager. I'm extending my dessert beer series with my favorite cherry cheesecake sour of all time from Grist House while sharing my thoughts and feelings about the hires. Cheers.
It's been a wild week in Pittsburgh, with the Penguins starting 0-2 and subsequently righting the ship to 2-2 - and the Steelers' signing of Dwayne Haskins. I'm confused. Come be confused with me while I drink the second beer in my Dessert Series from Eleventh Hour that may have jumped onto my Death Bed Beer list. Cheers.
I'm back in the beautiful city of Pittsburgh (#westsidebestside) and am joined by none other than the Hulk himself, Zach Banner. We talk all about his rehab process, his perspective on what went wrong last season, predictions for this coming year, and even some Pirates jersey recommendations. All this goes down while I enjoy another double dry hopped IPA, this time from Hitchhiker. You do not want to miss this one. Cheers.
He's more of a man now than a kid, but tomato/tomahtoe. In this special Sidney Crosby tribute episode, I do a deep dive into his career and what has made it so special - for me and for Penguins fans everywhere. He's a real gem and we are lucky to have him. Don't forget the beer though; I spend some time nerding out about hazy IPA's to kick off my new beer series all while sipping on a smooth double IPA from Insurrection Aleworks. Cheers.
Some beers help our tears, and though the Penguins looked great on Sunday, there are a lot of issues they have to fix if they want to make a run at the Cup (or make the playoffs at all). Join me, my friend Matt, and our tasty brews as we chat all about the Penguins being Pittsburgh fans. Cheers.
Snow-day show-day, and there's plenty to talk about. The Steelers have been busy with offseason staff changes, the Penguins have been consistently inconsistent, and the Super Bowl is this week. I dive into all that plus my ideal Super Bowl menu as I cozy up with the next beer in my dessert series - a gingerbread milk stout from Cinderlands. Cheers.
The Steelers are dead to me (and to the NFL Playoffs). Thank God the Penguins are finally back. Since this is the first episode of 2021 and the first in my Dessert Beeries (I'm drinking a peanut butter & chocolate stout from Grist House), I decided to celebrate with a happy hour episode. Join me and Josh Yohe of The Athletic Pittsburgh to talk in-depth about things to get excited about and watch for in the Pens' abbreviated season. Cheers.
It's a clash of the last titans standing for our Twitter Fantasy Football League, and it's the week in between Christmas and New Year's - which means two more guests and tons of leftovers. Join me, Joe, and Chris to talk about their final matchup of the season and all about the Steelers' second half revival against the Colts on Sunday while I drink a leftover Christmas beer. Cheers.
Spring is quickly approaching, so is playoff hockey, so is another hazy beer...to my mouth. Got a double IPA to sip on from Trace in Bloomfield as I sit down with Penguins TV play-by-play commentator Steve Mears to talk about his career in broadcasting, Penguins hockey, and some minor league fights. Cheers.
This was a really, really special one for me. I've been a fan of the Morning Freak Show for a long time, so hearing Mikey and Bob's voices alongside mine was a bit surreal. The two of them were kind enough to take the time to sit down with me and talk about the show, their careers, Pittsburgh sports, and share some of their craziest stories. Cheers
Was the Steelers/Seahawks preseason matchup the most exciting we've ever seen? Maybe. Either way, I sit down with Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette to break down what we saw on both sides of the ball - the good, the bad, and the "controversies". Chris is one of the best and most knowledgable guys arahnd, so grab yourself a cold one and listen. Cheers.
