Species Unite


I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show. Noah thinks the Pirates front office to make the team better in 2026 as they approach the trade deadline. How aggressive will Ben Cherington be? Noah still firmly believes Mitch Keller will be on the move and listed 4 teams of interest. Noah anticipates a trade for Keller going down to the deadline, possibly in the final hour. Noah said the Pirates want to acquire guys that can be everyday players for them immediately. How many other Buccos will be on the move? Noah guessed that David Bednar will be gone and thinks Dennis Santana could be on the move too.…

The Steelers report to training camp tomorrow. Mullsy says that both 2021 and 2019 were very interesting years, at least going into them. The end of 2020 was the beginning of the end for the Ben era. The Steelers track record of QBs post-Ben have not been good, and we’re already on QB number 6. Mullsy says he would sign up for a game-losing pick in the AFC Championship. Mullsy thinks that this is the most interesting Steelers season (heading in) since 2019. He also says that if Aaron Rodgers is really good, Mike Tomlin will look like a genius.

Who is at the top of your frustrations list when it comes to the Pirates? It feels like Ben Cherington is even more at fault than the owner because the money that is spent is spent poorly. What if he made another mistake and drafted Dylan Crews (like Mullsy wanted) instead of Paul Skenes? Donny defended Neal Huntington for what he accomplished by the 6th year of his tenure, which was 2013.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark defended his take that the Steelers had a ‘perfect’ offseason. Mark said they, mostly, accomplished everything they wanted to do. Mark gave his reaction to the TJ Watt signing and how the Steelers avoided 4-5 guaranteed years. Mark looked at this deal versus the one Myles Garrett received from the Browns. Mark thinks the Steelers can get ahead of things this season with Watt, even though he doesn’t think a holdout would have impacted Watt’s production. Mark said moving Watt around on defense will be a key to furthering his longevity. More w/ Mark – Mark believes the TJ Watt ankle injury was worse than what we were hearing late in the season, which impacted him heavily down the stretch. The conversation again went to Watt moving around the defense and how that could lead to a big 2025. Mark doesn’t care for the narrative that Watt isn’t healthy enough because he’s only missed significant time in one season. More w/ Mark – After the ‘perfect’ offseason, Mark gave some of his expectations for the season. Will we see a few key players take a step up on the defensive side? Mark still has questions, but likes the talent a lot on the outside. Mark doesn’t think Omar Khan is done making moves and still believes safety will be addressed.…
