Steve interviews Joe Manniell0 (00:04:17) from Newsday. Joe joins us to talk about the rise of the online brackets. Joe explains why the covid world has proven to be the perfect recipe for the rise of the bracket. Joe also talks about the dominance of the 1 seed, Billy Joel, the depth of Seinfeld, and ranks five of the finest humans ever to be born on Long Island.

Also, Jon Pessah(00:37:42) returns to talk about his book on Yogi Berra. Jon talks about the challenge of writing about a subject that has been written about for decades, Yogi's rise from an open tryout in St. Louis, and of course the Yogi-isms. Jon also talks about using his twitter feed for politics instead of book promotion.

The show starts with Steve jumping right into the show. The book club has cleared out most of the summer reading and has only Chris Cornell remaining. OLT ends the program with a quick couple of thoughts on Paula's tee-ball.
