I know. This has become a trend.

It’s another “Madden Monday” podcast on a Tuesday.

Between Memorial Day weekend and concert activities, Mark Madden and I have had a few three-day weekends of late.

We’ll get on a proper schedule again eventually. Or, if not, no big deal. It’s summer. We can wait a day.

This week, Mark and I were both in Cleveland Sunday night for the Greta Van Fleet show at Jacobs Pavilion. So we give our reviews of that.

Mark wraps up the Deadwood movie, too. I have yet to see it, and I’m worried I need to catch up on the whole series before I watch.

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster in it? If not, it’s the first camera that hasn’t filmed JuJu doing something, somewhere, to post online. That includes a trip to a high school prom.

Is that weird, fun, shamelessly self-promotional, or all of the above?

Mark and I also dissect the Pirates’ pitching woes and some of the positive developments of their young players.

Also, we get an update on the Phil Kessel trade talk.
