After a short break, Jub, Chris, and Matt return to the studio and pick up right where they left off. The trio kicks things off with a deep dive into Coach’s relentless bocce mentality and his not-so-humble tournament swagger. From there, the guys shift gears into the world of sports gambling and the soul-sucking grip of casino life. How long can one sit in a casino before losing their sanity—or their wallet? Do people really book cruises just for blackjack and slot machines? The crew opens up about their own battles with vices, weighing the highs and lows of drinking versus gambling, and spiraling into plenty of dumb, hilarious tangents along the way.

Jarrett, Coach, and Cools are in the studio this week holding it down while Jub is nowhere to be found (kind of). The guys dive into last week’s severe flooding that hit the area—sharing stories, local insight, and their thoughts on the impact. From there, it’s classic Pine Room chatter.

With the rest of the crew out, Jarrett and Cooley hold down the fort in this globe-spanning episode of The Pine Room Podcast. Cooley returns from an epic journey across the world and shares wild stories, culture shocks, and unforgettable moments from his travels to Tokyo and Thailand. Back home, the guys catch up on the latest happenings around Wheeling, trading thoughts on everything from local news to small-town quirks. Plus, Jarrett recounts his recent trip to a concert—where the music wasn’t the issue... it was the earsplitting instruments.
