Nailed it. Folks, it's a monumental day in SCN history. Number one, we have been number one in the tops, excuse me, tops in the hobby space on the podcast all freaking week. That is a big accomplishment for us. We're almost always top three to five. I don't know that we've ever been one aside from the first week. Pretty cool.

Jesse (1:02)

I think that's pretty good.

Michael Gioseffi (1:03)

Yeah. Gio has a, while Gio so pumped about it, he dressed like Jerry Maguire's father. Dad, stand right in front of the desk and look at that camera in the middle.

Give him a little 90 degree turn.

Jesse (1:12)

Just all the way around. He's got a little 360

Michael Gioseffi (1:15)

A little spin.

Jesse (1:16)

There we go.

Michael Gioseffi (1:16)

It is SCN trivia day.

We're all dressed up, folks. We got the old suits and ties. We're ready to go. DJ with first ever SCN Trivia. We already record. It was pretty good. You're going to hear that in the middle of the show. Before that, Jesse's got a couple of things to share. Me and Sterk have a quick game.

Jesse (1:33)

Wait, here's a game? Is that what it is?

Michael Gioseffi (1:35)

It's Starting Five, the thing you're going to host.

Jesse (1:36)

Oh, I didn't know it was a game.

Michael Gioseffi (1:37)

Sterk's Starting Five.

Gio Gioseffi (1:39)

Okay.

Michael Gioseffi (1:40)

Maybe. Sterk not wearing a suit today. That's fine.

Gio Gioseffi (1:42)

No, it looks good anyway. The guy's by hand.

Michael Gioseffi (1:45)

We got a couple things at the end. So we're going to do a couple opening topics. Then we're getting right to trivia.

Jesse (1:49)

Where would you like to start, Mike?

Michael Gioseffi (1:50)

You fire off your first couple. I'll end this section with the Sterk's Starting.

Jesse (1:55)

No, no, no. You start and then I'll go.

Michael Gioseffi (1:58)

You want to start with Sterk? Sterk, are you ready to jump on? Can we start with this right off the bat?

Jesse (2:01)

Let's do it.

Michael Gioseffi (2:02)

You got to put them on screen.

Michael Sterk (2:03)

Yep.

Michael Gioseffi (2:04)

So this is my premise here was Sterk is a baseball rain man. I am a baseball. Can you hear me? Well, you sound great, buddy.

Michael Sterk (2:11)

You look great, too, buddy. Just a quick sound check just before we get into this because I'd be nervous because we're going to... This is a beautiful segment. By the way, Starting Five is not basketball. It's a rotation. Correct. I got to do better name in here, so.

Michael Gioseffi (2:23)

That's pretty good.

Michael Sterk (2:24)

Good to see you guys.

Michael Gioseffi (2:25)

By the way, Mike Sterk, you might remember Fighting Illini. That's an autograph card, folks. You suck it. Nobody has that. Card number 43

Gio Gioseffi (2:32)

Hey, Mike, you're a Cubs guy, right?

Michael Sterk (2:34)

Yes, sir. I was born on the Southwest side.

Gio Gioseffi (2:38)

But you're still rooting for the White Sox, right?

Michael Gioseffi (2:40)

I thought you were going to say born in the bayou.

Michael Sterk (2:42)

My father is a diehard White Sox fan, so in my heart, yes, I cheer for him. Who's that wouldn't publicly be celebrating or high-fiving White Sox fans as much as I respect and would acknowledge? It's an achievement.

Jesse (2:53)

Who's the most famous White Sox player?

Michael Gioseffi (2:55)

Frank Thomas.

Michael Sterk (2:56)

I mean, it depends. Shoeless Joe in history. But the best of all time would be Frank Thomas, for sure.
