Glamping is coming to Pennsylvania State Parks Luxurious Amenities. They're
going to be coming to eight state parks next year
as Pennsylvania introduces what is known as glamping, which is
an experience in outdoors which combines it with hotel like comfort.
(02:54):
So each of the sixty one glamping locations offer one
ada accessible glamp site along with a mix of two
spacious layouts. So you get two clean beds which sleeps
up to four guests. So it depends on who you
want to glamp with, right, but you can get a
king or two bunk beds and have six guests if
(03:15):
you really want to get into it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Now does it say are they like just like the
air streams that they pimp out or are they cabins
or how do they do this? Because this is a
big thing out West, it has been for a while
in Pennsylvania is long overdue to do this because they
will be full for big parts of the year.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
So I was trying to look at the site, and
it almost it makes it look like you can kind
of do like beyond the yurt, you know what I mean. Like,
so there's ones that look like they're almost like glorified yurts,
and then there's ones that look like uh, not like cabins,
(03:53):
but a little more secure than that, right, but you're
talking about like the almost like.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, occasionally they put up like almost like those tiny humps,
like like you know how they made those apartments over
on the East End out of shipping containers. It's kind
of stuff like that that they'll use occasionally, or like
those portable sheds you can buy on Amazon. It's stuff
that kind of looks like that, but they make it
a nice little campsite for you with a fire pit and.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You know, like that like where it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I mean that that's like a big yert.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
It's a very big.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Yet, but it does like a jet stream kind of
like or what did you call it, the airstream? Airstream, sorry,
not a jet stream. And he works for a company
that does that, and like I've seen them bring the
to the house every once in a while, like when
they get one that's banged up, and he's just like, yeah,
I'm just bringing.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
It home for a minute, and I don't know, maybe
this will be who we are now.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, they're very tempting. Boy, when you get a nice one,
you're like, I could this is it minimalization. I could
just completely bring my life down to the studs and
live inside this airstream. And after a I had a
friend who did it, and they regretted it almost immediately.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I also had a friend who did it, like sold
all their stuff and moved into it, and it lasted
less than a year, and then I think they got
depression and were like, I'm not Francis McDorman.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
I don't want to poop.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It up bucket actly, same exact thing that happened with
my friends. And they had a dog, making it even
more difficult. They're like, we really thought this was going
to be more adventurous. Instead you just like basically dock
at a campsite in South Carolina and work.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
At a friendlies.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Yeah, not great.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's not as much fun, it's not as romantic as
you make it out to be, but.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
It's still nice, Like it's still a way to have
an experienced coffeemaker, menu, fridge, there are electrical outlets, rugs, lamps,
diffuserr ceiling fan. It's like, you know, Coachilla, Yeah in
the wilderness, sure, Coachella in Tyanesta.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Right, So they're gonna.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Be putting these glamping opportunities at the following state parks.
Laurel Hill, Somerset County, Pimate Toombing, Crawford County, Poe Valley,
Center County, French Creek, Chester County, Coudoris, York County, Hickory Run,
Carbon County, Hills Creek, Tioga County, and Promised Land Pike County.
So if you haven't been any of those locations, those
(06:12):
ones are coming again next year.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Good deal, all right.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Katy Perry and Justin tra Joe have apparently taken their
rumored romance to the next level after being spotted dining
together in Montreal over the summer. Of the pair were
recently photographed getting cozy on a yacht off the coast
of Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I feel like you cannot be taken seriously as a
statesman if you're dating Katy Perry.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Is he still a state He's not, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I mean he must be okay with never being won again.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Probably not.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
He's like, in these photos he's grabbing her button everything.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And that's not very statesman like, not at all, it's
very statesman like.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I would actually go with that. At least he's out
in the open about it.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Perry and Teaux are both recently separated from their longtime partners.
The pop singers split from actor Orlando Bloom in June,
while the former Canadian Prime minister separated from his wife
Sophia in August of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
What do you think drives the sort of public I
don't want to say hatred, but why do people get
so bummed.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Out of by Katy Perry? Exactly?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
The tone deafness of her what she said she was
an astronaut. Yeah, it's just mostly that she doesn't realize
what's going on with the rest of the world.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
So as she kind of emerges with any kind.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Of pr thing, she does it so loudly and kind
of forgets about the rest of us, who are going
coffee is twenty five dollars right now, and she just,
you know, I don't know, she just doesn't seem to
have any self awareness at all.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, I don't know how she has so much money.
I don't need her last door totally bombed? Or is
she still on it?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I feel like her tour is done right. But also
when you say I don't know how she has any
other like because other pop stars Rihanna, you know, Gwen Stefani,
like they have makeup lines, Selena Gomez.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Like they have other things, Like doesn't she just do music?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Or wait?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Is I mean it could American idol money be that much?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Maybe that's what I forgot she was on that.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Outside of that, am I missing something?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Her divorce from Russell Brand might have made her rich.
Maybe maybe she took.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
A lot of his money and that's why he started
selling colloidal silver online.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Maybe maybe she got a lot of money out of
him to shut him up.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Yeah about all the stuff he did to shut her up.
Oh that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like she blackmailed him.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You mean I'm into it all right? Well, maybe she's
a more nefarious carecter. She's like a bond girl. Then yeah,
this is Trudeau's got his bond girl. I don't know.
It seems like they're both kind of douchey, so they're
perfect for each other.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Yeah, maybe they're both ye insufferable. We just don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Sammy Hagar has been hosting his annual birthday Bash over
the past weekend at his Cabo Wabo Cantina. The Bash,
which is a run of four shows in seven days.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
He always does this big.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
It kicked off on October the seventh, and it wrapped
up with a final gig on his actual birthday, which
was yesterday. But the concerts typically feature a large guest
list of performers and rock royalty, and this year he
brought out Alison Chain's guitarist singer Jerry Cantrell. Belinda Carlisle
was at this Joey Belladonna from Anthrax. But I want
(09:40):
you to listen to him belt out the chorus here
of a Man in the Box.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
That sounds pretty good.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Sammy and Jerry Cantrell, Yes, seventy eight. That's the most
ridiculous part of all this.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Man seventy eight years old.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Yeah, partying for and then he hooked a mc king
Perry it, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, it has so much a common.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Really really good man.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I watched a couple other videos.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
It's just like the fact that like he I was
looking at.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I mean, he's got sunglasses on and everything, and again
he's partying for four days. But I don't know, tequila
keeps you young. He looks like he's sixty.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And have you ever been to that place? I've been there.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's not that big, you know, it's like like.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
It looks like a small club.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah big.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean the performance area is like the size of
Jurgles and there's a restaurant wow attached to it.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You know, it's like a bar restaurant.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Do you exclusively live there?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
No, I don't think so. But it's funny when you
go in there, it's all Sammy Hagar. That's all they play.
So it's it's montro Sammy solo stuff in Van Hagar
NonStop on a loop. I'm sure that changes sometimes, but
when we were there, that's all we heard, and it
was making me laugh so hard. I'm like, this is
a super level of narcissism. It's kind of been like
(11:39):
say Frank Sinatra, when you'd go hang out with them,
he'd make you listen to his records.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh no, yeah, and it drove some people crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
They're like, come on, dude, back or down a little bit,
don't I get like, hey, I just cut something.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'd love for you guys to hear it.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
That's a little different.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
I mean, I think there was a Billie Eilish had
said that at one point where she's like, why shouldn't
I love my records? Which I understand that, But then
I also remember hearing like nightmare stories of Kanye West,
like capturing people and being like, you gotta listen to
my record.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, but he literally like detained them and handcuffed them. Yeah, exactly.
Then he put a Nazi memorabilia, they started spouting stuff.
It was a little different, little yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I guess I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
All right.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
If you've never had a job in retail, lucky you.
A poll found over a third of Americans have spent
at some point in their life working in retail. So
more than a thousand people were asked about thirty different jobs,
whether they've worked in each field or not. So most
common on the list again is retail worker. So I
(12:47):
know you've worked at a carpet store because it was
in the family business. Where there are any other retail
jobs that you had to hold?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Umm, not that I mean I've had plenty of jobs,
like before I became an adult, especially you know throughlog stuff. Well,
I mean when I became an adult, I got into radio.
And when I say adult, I mean post college. I
worked for KPMG, which your dad, you know, is well
aware of because I have there's like a security thing
(13:15):
if I come within one hundred yards of alarms showing
my dad, yeah K So I worked for KPMG for
a little bit and then went right into radio after that.
But I sold carpet from my dad always. Once we
got to like eighteen or nineteen, he would let us
do that. So like, well actually like seventeen, so like
(13:36):
after school I would put on like a collared shirt
and go out and be like, oh.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You needed some remnants.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It wasn't I wasn't doing like huge commercial jobs. But
I also was a Nitney note taker of Penn State.
I took notes for people, and I got paid to
take notes, and then people would buy my notes.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I did that under the table kind of thing. That's
a real job.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
It was.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't know in this day and age if that
still exists, because I don't know how they wouldn't just
get people would just wouldn't copy it. They used to
print them on red paper, so nobody could photo copy
it back in the day. But I think there are
ways around that obviously now you just scan things.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I'm not understanding that much.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Literally, I would go to a marketing class, I would
take the notes, and then I would present them typed
to this company and then they would sell it, Oh
do you need the notes for marketing three twenty one,
and then you would buy You could buy a semester pack,
which would be like fifty bucks or something like that.
And one year I had a class that I never
went to because I double books as I was trying
(14:32):
to get done in four years. So I had two
classes at the same time, basically, and one of them
was like a gangbang class, you know, like the Forum
huge Yeah, and it was just all notes. So my
buddy went to that class all the time, and I
was like, Hey, can I borrow your notes? And he's
like yeah, And I would type up his notes all
the time and then I'd sell them. And then at
the end of the semester he came up to me
(14:53):
and he's like, what the dude, I just spent fifty
bucks for my own notes. He's like, you're the you know,
take it for that class. I was like, yeah, yeah,
oh yeah, I got my notes and I'm like, I know,
but look how nice they.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Are, Look how great they are down there organized.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, that was a fun job in college and then
mostly I played the piano and you know, I worked
in bars.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But retail with like dealing with people and going into
their homes was a life changer, Like it was. It's
a very important thing to do, I think, is to
deal with the general public.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
I think if you haven't worked in service, like or
the service industry, like you, Wow, you were for caterer, right, Yeah,
but I had I had several jobs.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I'm trying to remember what my I mean. I had
to do babysitting for a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
That's working with people.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Yeah, but I mean that's like a different kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Like for whatever reason we've i think we've talked about
it before on the show, Like you're always like babysitting
people that are like just a couple of years younger
than you, and you're like, why the hell am I babysitting?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Then like you're like, I'm I'm eleven, Like why am
I babysitting?
Speaker 6 (16:00):
But I started working at a I think I started
working at a furniture store first. It was just like
a like a kind of a custom made furniture store.
Started working there, started working at the Dollar Tree for.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
A while, so you definitely did a lot of retail.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
I did a ton of retail. I worked at the
Dollar Tree.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Then I started working at an ice cream shop first,
and then the ice cream shop was the front of
the catering store.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I kind of liked it. I liked dealing with people.
I liked talking with people.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Occasionally you'd get putts, but like you would just like,
first of all, you can kind of play mind games
with them and stuff too, and like you can just
have fun next to them when they were completely aloof.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
There was like other than someone who was just awful,
which was very rare most of the time, it was
pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
I think if you have to work for tips, it
also is a good.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Aspect of your personality you have to develop too, because
people can be really really rude to you. Oh yeah, well,
especially you have to figure out me, like I got
to work through.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think there's a distinction between working in like food
service and other forms of retail because the angry factor,
oh yeah, that gets you know, put into that equation,
I think really tips it towards the way more difficult job.
I was always adjacent to that, my friend, because I
(17:20):
was like playing in the bars or whatever. My friends
were bartenders and waitresses and waiters and or they had
restaurants and dealing with people who wanted to eat is
a different thing.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's just a different thing.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
People get really angry.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It's like when somebody tries to mess with the dog
while it's eating, and it's like, oh, you know, that's
basically a table full of those people who are trying
to be a little you know, more refined than that,
but you know, thinly veiled, they're basically angry dogs waiting
to eat.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Absolutely, and then if you screw up one little thing,
a lot of times they're merciless.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Yeah, but you also have to be adaptable.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
I have to be on your feet. You're coming in
like an R catering business. It wasn't like venues. We
were going to people's houses. Yeah, so it was like,
well sometimes it was venues, but it was mostly going
into people's homes. And so you know, you're setting up
in people's homes or you're setting up in their yards
we had like a big barbecue pit, so it was
like a very adaptable thing where sometimes it was just
(18:16):
like a cool backyard barbecue thing, and sometimes you're doing
a wedding, so it was like, you know, any kind
of like Bridezilla or Mom of the Bride kind of
situation where somebody's like, you know, everything's going wrong today
and you have to be able to change the temperature
and like, you know, be really really accommodating.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
And some people like a therapist and a.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Caterer, and then sometimes it's somebody's drunk uncle where you're
like time apartment.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
This is why I got into cators, you know.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
So it's just kind of like that's wild, but you
do learn to deal with people. But then you also
learn when you're not in that situation and you're working
with people who are delivering services to you, how they
would like to be treated because you're just on the
other side of that. That to me is like more
of the value of having worked in any kind of
service industry is that you understand on the other side
(19:05):
of it to.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Not be a jerk.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Well, I always say that that when I was working
on the trucks in the carbon stores for all those years,
which was most of what I did, like every summer
and going into people's homes that way is the way
you would get treated by people. Really did affect how
you treated people who came to your house and worked
in turn, like I have never not been like you
guys want coffee, you want an iced tea, you want
(19:30):
a water.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You know, Hey it's five o'clock. You want to be
here on your way home?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Like the difference and just and that they very rarely
take it, but the difference in just being made to
feel like you're welcome here while you're working, you know,
and so many people act like you're walking into some
you know, a Biltmore castle or something like that, when
you're going into their house in White Oak and it's like, hey,
I'm here to help you.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Stop making me like they're like, don't use that bathroom.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You know, there are people who really treat you like
an outsider in their own home, which I've never understood.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's like being mean to the person cooking your food, which.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Is also stupid.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Hmm.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
I can say that cater I never did anything bad.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Stupid to do.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
It's just you're to do. You are playing with fire,
playing with boggers.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
And maybe boogers and maybe if I drop something, I
picked it back up sometime today and Hi of seventy.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I never had is you know, many friends as I've
had in the service industry throughout my life, I've never
heard a story of one of them doing that to
somebody now, like that.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
That's too dangerous to do. I think you're you're kind
of a sociopathepy do.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That fast food places. I think it happens.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
You probably get paid too little too.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Which is right, And that's why being rude to those people.
I never understand why at the drive through drivers will
be jerks to the people, like you can't even see
what they're doing to your food at all. Oh, i'd
be careful, and you're literally being mean to the person
putting your food together.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I'd be the sweetest I've ever been in my life. Yeah,
just a hawker right on your burger.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Oh yeah, they can't control that line. Oh, they can't
control that line.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
After we got back from Dublin, I was starving.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I don't know why, Like that was just a long
travel day and I don't think we ate anything, but
whatever was on the plane, whatever gruel they gave us
on the plane on.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
The way back.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
That gruel wasn't terrible. You and Bill cleaned it out.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I don't remember, but are the mac and cheese you, yeah,
that's right Polish.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But I tried to go to the Wendy's on the
way home and the like, the line was just so big,
and one guy in front of me was being a
jerk and I was like, I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Out of here.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I don't want the risk that his Hawker Burger ends
up in my bag.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
He can't do it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Uh, Thursday night Steelers back at it. Short week for them.
The Bengals. They're gonna rod dog the Bengals Thursday night.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Oh no, I don't want it.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Charlie Batch will be in at six forty five. Jean
Stereotaur seven forty five. We'll always love talking with Geen,
Meryl Hall, Billy Gardell and Moore coming up.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Gets shout it out a lot back.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Off Blogloo All go bring me on.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
The show that has always been pure Pittsburgh is the
DVE Electric Lunch. Pittsburgh has decide the menu every day
in the All request at Electric Lunch with Michelle Michaels.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
So let me know what you guys need on DVE.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service.
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service tax consports.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Is that brought to you by Bridgevilleppliance.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
Maybe the Buffalo Bill's got to join the AFC North
because they played last night and they lost on Monday
Night football twenty four to fourteen at Atlanta Steelers. Once
again sitting watching the somebody that they're in competition with
take a dump.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Their defense is so much worse than I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But don't sleep offense wasn't great either last night. I
wouldn't sleep on Atlanta either. I mean, Bijehon is a star.
Speaker 12 (22:58):
To your point about Buffalo's defense, b Jhon Robinson carried
nineteen times for one hundred and seventy yards and a touchdown.
Drake London caught ten passes for one hundred and fifty
eight yards and a touchdown. Michael Pennix twenty of thirty
two for two point fifty and a touchdown. Atlanta basically
ran it and threw it. Other than that, that Bill's
defense really bucked up. But the stars are looking like stars.
(23:22):
They just and on the Buffalo side. James Cook averaged
five point one to carry and they only gave him
the ball seventeen times.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I don't know what to make any AFC. NFC is
stacked this year.
Speaker 12 (23:38):
Yes, it looks like it. AFC looks anybody's game. I mean, honestly,
if I had to pick a team right now, you're
gonna watch Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yep. After watching them played Detroit.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Really yeah, one game turned it around for you.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
Well, I mean that who they played and who they played,
and they've been to sixth straight AFC Championship games with
Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
He rode penalty called on the Chiefs in that game.
Speaker 12 (24:01):
Yes, zero, and they've still got that going forward with
apparently come on, dude.
Speaker 13 (24:06):
Juju got a wet Willie and punched in the face
after the game too.
Speaker 12 (24:10):
They suspended Brian bitch. He should have given him a bonus.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Whatever, Bro, Well, that man was handing.
Speaker 12 (24:21):
One of my early interactions with Juju said, I asked
him about a play in the preseason game and the
response was whatever.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
Bro talked about the TikTok Dancer fall from Grace. That kid,
we all loved him. He got his bike stolen and
then also we heard.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Some stuff, don't forget Bill about him maybe not being
the greatest guy when it came to his philanthropic.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I heard that.
Speaker 13 (24:43):
That's what I mean, that was part of it. It
just he was like the most lovable kid ever, teaching
him how to drive a car and then everybody riding
him out of town on a rail.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
He did also earn a lot of props from Steeler
Nation for letting up contest perfect well, there was that, Yeah,
there was that made a T shirt out standing over Yeah.
But back here, sir, Funeral seriously always did compete hard
on the field, no question about that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Heinz whardion in that respect.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But back to your original point about the AFC, I mean,
I think you have to go Chiefs. Steelers are in
the discussion, believe it or not. And it's not because
I think they're a juggernaut. It's just I don't think
the AFC is very good this year. Car.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Your AFC standings right now in terms of the playoff seedings,
Indianapolis is first at five and one, Pittsburgh is second
at four and one. The Chargers are third at four
and two. New England is fourth at four and two.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We caught New England at the right time, and New
England's Okay, well, Drake may has caught fire.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, well that matters.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
Colts just struggled with Arizona's backup won the game, while
they're also saying that he might get the starting job
over Kler Murray now that he just took the job
from Kyler Murray. The Kobe has always been a pretty professional.
Give you a credible performance when he's needed, but he
gives you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
He gives you three or four of those, and then
you get under the spell that he might be the guy.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Then he's not the guy.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
There's also been some weird losses this year.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
I mean the Cowboys listening to the Panthers, the Bills
dropping one of the Falcons seems like a huge upset.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
But I mean, listen to the players you just listed.
Speaker 13 (26:28):
That's the star quarterback that they drafted, a star receiver,
and the.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Best running back in the league.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
And yet what have they ever done? Oh no, they stay.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But the Ravens were supposed to be part of that
equation of best in the AFC out there. The Chargers
have too many injuries they think to be able to
count on them to stay atop to heap there.
Speaker 12 (26:47):
Yeah, they were able to cut one out over Miami,
which is imploding, right, But hey, do you know.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Who you know who's good in the Denver?
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Denver's good.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Denver is on the clutch.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
The Jets game, they squeaked that one.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Stink They're on the come up on here right now.
Speaker 12 (27:07):
The other Monday Night game was the Bears beating the
Commander's twenty five twenty four Bears of three and two
after being a joke last year. Look out, Steel's getting
ready for the Bengals on Thursday night in Cincinnati. That's
not good news for the Steelers because it's on a Thursday.
Mike Tomlin nine and eleven all time on Thursday nights,
(27:27):
one in five since twenty nineteen, and hasn't won a
road game on a Thursday since two thousand and seven.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
In Saint Louis.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Whoa, So it's it's history, not prophecy. But you know,
hasn't been good on Thursdays, none.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Of Look Toma was pussy yesterday.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
None of that, however, much of a concern to Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 14 (27:49):
I'm only concerned about twenty twenty five. I got my
ass kicked in a lot of ways. Over the last
nineteen years.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
He was in rare form.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
You know, it's kind of like we talked last week about,
you know, his record against rookie starting quarterbacks and Cleveland's
record here and all that.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
It matters, but it doesn't you know what I mean.
Speaker 12 (28:08):
It identifies trends. But what happened two years ago, five
years ago, how does that really apply to Thursday. What's
going to apply to Thursday is that Joe Flacco is
going to be quarterbacking the Bengals, not Jake Browning. And
if you watch that Green Bay Cincinnati game Sunday, Joe
Flacco in the first half looked like a guy that
(28:28):
just walked off the street and was trying to play
quarterback at forty years of age, which all of which
was true. And in the second half he looked like
Joe Flacco. Yeah, he looked pretty good.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Look like a guy that learned the playbook. On the
Ohio Turnpike.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
Started to get the timing down a little bit with
Chase and they moved the ball and scored it. Mike
Tom's still scratching his head as to why Joe Flacco
was playing for Cincinnati and not Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
You know, to be honest, it was shocking to me.
Speaker 14 (28:57):
Andrew Barry must be a lot smarter than me or us,
because it doesn't make sense to me to trade a
quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening
day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in that area.
But that's just my personal feelings.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I have to tell you, I love that he said
that it was very out of character for me.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Out of character. He must be chapped about that, well
with good reason, and it was a stupid move. It
really set off my algorithm. To Cleveland's Sports Talk Sam,
I was saying, I couldn't get enough of it though,
watching those guys lose their minds yesterday over this, and
then when Tomlin said that they felt like that was
(29:37):
the biggest valid day.
Speaker 15 (29:39):
Well, it's the validation that they're all needing or wanting. Yeah,
that those words were music to their ears. They're like, exactly, Yes,
this guy's a joke. Our GM is a joke.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (29:51):
The funny part about it is I had not seen
Flacco play at all for Cleveland, and I did the Thursday.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
That preview with Matt Williamson and Merril.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
High and we talked about this last week and those
guys both said Flacco looked beyond awful with the Browns.
Meryl sent it on our show last week. Yeah, Merrill say,
looks like a guy that doesn't want to play. And
Williamson said, he's just awful, terrible, And that second happened
at Packer game. He looked like Joe Flecco, you know,
I mean a lot of quarterbacks look like that in Cleveland.
Though the mobility is just good enough. You know he
(30:22):
can he can get out of it once in a while.
A lot of it kind of looks like the way
Aaron Rodgers is playing. He has some escapability. There will
be times where he'll just throw it away. Okay, this
down's over. I'm not getting it picked off. I'm throwing
it away. But he can still get outside. He can
still throw on a run. He was hitting tight windows
with Chase. In the second half against the Browning he
(30:45):
threw two touchdowns on fourth downs.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
One was a ridiculous case. I mean, one was a
throw it up and hope for the best.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
But that's if you have Tamar Chase.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's what to do.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Though, right you don't have to do a lot more.
Speaker 12 (30:57):
You got to take that shot to give him a shot. Yep, Uh,
this is a this is interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It's a game the Steelers should win, does not mean
they will.
Speaker 12 (31:06):
Yeah, I put it in the old AFC North category. Guys,
just you know we'll throw their records out. Yeah, that
sounds cliche, but I've been watching this division a long time.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I've seen this movie before.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's always a raw dog in the AFC North.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Thursday Night eight fifteen kickoff, Abbams's got your News Top
of the Hour.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
An unknown substance shut down a Pittsburgh office yesterday, but
it kind of sounds delicious. And another star in a
car accident that we have to talk about.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
We got the details on that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Charlie Batch next here on the DV morning show, We
get It. Some of you tune in at one oh
two point five and others listen through their smart device.
Speaker 9 (31:44):
No matter how you listen, Pittsburgh's rocker is.
Speaker 16 (31:47):
W dv's always rocked and always well rocked DV.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
It's football season.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
So how about not wasting another Sunday feeling like you
got to clean the garage?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Spurg Steeler Football one oh two point five DV E
Randy Bama with Bill Crawford, Abby Chrisner and Mike Persuda
and welcoming from the Pittsburgh Steeler Audio Network postgame show.
He's like, he was the guy that everybody put Batch in,
and they're saying the same thing now on the radio.
Put Patch in, get him in there, let's hear what
(32:19):
he has to say.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Charlie Batch is here for you, and he gets a
nice ride on the Plus.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Good morning, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Everyone's in a good mood because you know, four and
one lead.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Nacy North just embarrassed the Browns once again.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Now looking ahead at the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
But for you, what was the impressive aspect of the
Steelers went over the Browns on Sunday?
Speaker 9 (32:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 17 (32:41):
For me, I just watching him stay, of course, and
they wanted to establish that running game, and early on
it wasn't going in that manner, but they put that
big package in and they started dashing the brown ten
yard run after ten yard run, and I'm like, Wow,
they have something with that particular package, and I just
love how they're implementing that and adding Darnell Washington to
this passing game as well.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, they stuck with the run, which I loved and
I kept saying that last week, like hey, if it
ain't working, you just keep pounding it. And you saw
that defensive line, the defense in front of the Browns
wear down there and Jalen Warren, you know, Bill said
it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
He's not an easy guy to bring down.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
Not at all. And he's you know, like that bowling pin,
you know, type of deal.
Speaker 17 (33:22):
And he's done that throughout the course of his career
and now that he's getting that opportunity and when the
Browns come again, statistically they were four overall, number one
against the rush. So you knew it had to be patient.
And that's why I was warning people before the game.
Speaker 9 (33:35):
I said, this may be.
Speaker 17 (33:36):
A boring game to watch because they're both going to
attend attempt to rush to football. And sure enough, that
first half was the snoozer, but they were able to
pick it up and they were able to score points
when needed.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
It was a snoozer in the first half, and I
think the crowd was kind of put to sleep, but
boy did they wake up in the second half. I
thought that was an amazing home field crowd at akershar
Stadium that they stayed the course as well, and they
were there when they needed him to be. Because Dylan
Gabriel had a really hard time on some big third
downs when the crowd was just overpowering.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 17 (34:09):
And you know, coming into it, the Steelers wanted to
make the Browns a one dimensional offense because if they
can get them behind the sticks, and they were successful
on first down, that's where the crowd starts to become
impactful on those third and long situations. Very similar to
everything that we saw throughout the course of the game.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
And when you just look at the final.
Speaker 17 (34:27):
Statistics and you see a rookie quarterback in his first
rogue game, even though it's a second overall, throwing the
ball fifty two times, Yeah, that lets you know the
Steeler made a one dimensional But also, you know, you
get to that point, man, you have to give hats
off to that crowd man, because they were electric in
the stadium yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Did you have any sense of what Dylan Gabriel might
be able to do as quarterback for the Browns or
was that just such a suffocating performance by the Steelers
defense that hard to make heads heads or tails of it?
Speaker 17 (34:58):
Yeah, you know, you know he could throw the football.
The challenge was going to be whether you can now
take advantage of some of.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
The height issues he had.
Speaker 17 (35:04):
There was only one or two passes that they batted
down though. Typically when you're playing a quarterback who's under
six foot, you typically like to bring the blitz up
the middle. So he's looking at that pressure and is
now naturally going to roll out and you start to
get tendencies, and of course the left hand quarterback is
going to roll out to the left there, and that's
where you're able to now pick up some of those
sacks that he started to kind of roll. You saw
(35:26):
Jalen Ramsey pick up a sack off of a blitz
to that right side of anticipating him rolling to the left.
So it was a great defensive plan that the Steelers
put together Charlie.
Speaker 12 (35:35):
According to the NFL research, Nick Herbig's two sacks of
Dylan gabriel were his first of Gabriel since the twenty
eighteen Hawaii State championship game. If anybody's for the WI
Field ever dropped you in an NFL game, oh.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
They absolutely did.
Speaker 17 (35:54):
And one that really stands out with the fact that
it didn't happen when I was in Pittsburgh, but it
happened when I was in Detroit and Jason Tay was
playing with the Dolphins and we played them for the
first time and he sacks and he says, not only
is just for the whippule, this is for you beat me.
When I was at Akaram, you were that Eastern Michigan,
so I promised you.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
These things happened.
Speaker 17 (36:13):
But you know, you know, just a side note on that,
Me and Jason Taylor actually went to elementary school together.
We went to Barrett Elementary School in Homestead before he
actually went to Woolen Hills for his seniors for his
high school career. You know, so it's really you know,
that's how far me and him go back.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
That's crazy. There's levels to this, Chuck.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
The one thing that was really impressive to me yesterday
was that on Sunday was that, you know, Nick Herbig
saying that this defense hasn't reached its potential yet. It's
it's hard to imagine them going to another level. But
they dropped five interceptions, so I can't wait to see
what they do on Thursday night.
Speaker 17 (36:50):
Yeah, that's the key right there. They have easy buff
football do they have in their hands. It's not like
it's tipballs or whatever. They just have to make those catches.
And if you go back to training camp Mike Tomlin,
he stated as the training camp was starting that this
defense had the chance to be historic. Now, I know
that didn't happen the first couple of weeks of the season,
only because you did not have the pieces in place.
(37:11):
But man, what a difference did Derek Harmon make on
that defensive line next to Camp and Kean Oubitten.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
That guy is playing lights out.
Speaker 17 (37:19):
That's allowing those linebackers to now flow freely and make
the plays that they need the need to make. And
that's why you saw somebody like Patrick Queen going sideline
this sideline because you know, no longer has to worry
about whether those offensive linemen is going to work their
way up to the next level because the defensive front
is commanding those double teams, allowing those linebackers to flow.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Do you think that the first play of the game,
in particular, indicated to other defenses that just because that
jumbo package isn't out there, the Steelers have enough flexibility
in that to keep running and out going forward.
Speaker 9 (37:53):
Yeah, they can.
Speaker 17 (37:54):
You know, obviously you want to use the spot, you know,
just sporadically only because you want to kind of make
sure you keep those rotations going on, and you don't
get the tendencies from a coordinator understanding and trying to
be one step ahead of.
Speaker 9 (38:04):
The offensive coordinator.
Speaker 17 (38:05):
If you just look at that first play at the game,
and you can see tendencies wise coming into it, there
was a heavy chance that they were going to run
the football with Darnell Washington on the field. So that's
why they flowed to try to attack the run and
allowed him to get open. After making that play, and
really back to back game that Darnell Washington has played,
he clearly is tight end number one, and I don't
know how you can now get him off of that
(38:27):
field because of the level of production that he is.
Speaker 9 (38:29):
Doing now on a consistent base exactly.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
That's what we were saying the same thing yesterday. He's
just too valuable. And despite what you're paying Friarmuth, who cares,
you don't have to pay Washington that And if they
both cost what is a fourteen million combined, that's a bargain.
Speaker 17 (38:46):
It absolutely is a bar You're talking about four tight
ends completely, you know, I mean three tight ends obviously.
Speaker 9 (38:50):
John news Smith is you.
Speaker 17 (38:52):
Know, kind of that hybrid type of guy making a
little bit more money there, but again that's what happens
when you hit in the draft and you're able to
get that bar for a few years.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Charlie, three weeks till I think it's three weeks till
in the pocket with the Batch Foundation.
Speaker 17 (39:06):
Yes, we are excited at Best of the Batch Foundation.
We have our annual in the Pocket. An event that
we have is pool poke or ping pong. We are
adding cornhole to the equations, so we are super excited
about everything that we're doing. We are raising funds for
our steam programs and are out of school times, which
is very critical for these kids as they are exiting school.
So these are things that we get excited about. All
(39:26):
the information is will be on our website which is
Batch Foundation dot org. We have tons of local celebrities
that are going to be a part of what we
compete against the fans, so bring your competitive nature, can
bring up your juices flowing because games definitely get challenging.
Speaker 9 (39:41):
This is exciting to watch.
Speaker 17 (39:42):
So again, all information is at Batchfoundation dot org. And
we just truly appreciate everybody who supports the mission and
vision of Best at the Batch Foundation.
Speaker 9 (39:49):
So we are humbled and truly grateful.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
You're gonna be a late one for you and Mike
on Thursday night, Chuck.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
It definitely is.
Speaker 17 (39:55):
So we're already figuring out, Okay, what's our caffeine of choices.
We're now figuring out what the first call that we're
going to get it that we're gonna get. We're obviously
talking about after a victory on somebody complaining about something.
And Sunday's game, me and Mike looked at each other
through The first complaint that we had was somebody got mad,
not because they win or to blowout. It was the
fact that Tomlin blew a time out.
Speaker 9 (40:16):
Early in the game.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I told you, look, I apologize for calling, but that
really did piss me off.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Okay, Brady, we.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Love them to death.
Speaker 17 (40:30):
We keep those calls coming in man, it makes the
show fun.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Charlie Batch part of the Steelers Audio Network postgame show
hosted by our own Mike Pursuita and you can hear
them Thursday night after the Steelers take on the Bengals
Thursday Night Football right here on DV.
Speaker 9 (40:44):
Thanks Charlie, Hey, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 18 (40:46):
Good Chuck, It's time for the Steelers Daily Report.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
On DVE.
Speaker 18 (40:51):
Brought to you by Kelly and Pizza and Draft Holes,
three time world Pizza champions and Steelers Pro Shop. Get
it direct from the team at Shop Steelers Dot. Here's
Tom Oproman.
Speaker 16 (41:01):
Steelers quarterback Jalen Ramsey suffered a hamstring injury during the
Steelers game against Minnesota and Dublin a few weeks back
that put his status for this past Sunday's game against
Cleveland and Jeopardy. However, thanks to the bye week and
vigorous rehab, Ramsey was able to play and his impact
was immense. Not only was his presence the usual to
turn in the passing game, but he also had six
total tackles, two tackles for loss, and racked up two
sacks of Browns rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel. It was a
(41:23):
game high in sacks from Ramsey for his career, who
joked after the game he'll be able to tell his
kids he played in a game with Miles Garrett and TJ.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Watt and had two sacks.
Speaker 16 (41:32):
Ramsey had only registered three sacks in his career entering
Sunday's game, and nearly matched that total with his efforts
against the Browns.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Speaking of TJ.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Watt.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
He was his usual.
Speaker 16 (41:40):
Dominant self when the Browns came to town. He only
managed a half a sack, but he had three quarterback
hits and a couple of batted down passes as he
helped lead a dominant Steelers pass rush that had six
sacks and thirty two total pressures of Dylan Gabriel. The
Steelers have their only full practice of the week today

Well done, Rob, no need to do this. But I
went up to him and I said, Hey, is there
any circumstance in which you would like to be called
d Kalan which is his given name, And he said
I prefer it.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I was like what.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
He goes, yeah, everybody they just can't pronounce it properly.

kail And I'm like, okay, so you would like to
be called the kailin He said, yeah, if I had

Glamping is coming to Pennsylvania State Parks Luxurious Amenities. They're
going to be coming to eight state parks next year
as Pennsylvania introduces what is known as glamping, which is
an experience in outdoors which combines it with hotel like comfort.
(02:54):
So each of the sixty one glamping locations offer one
ada accessible glamp site along with a mix of two
spacious layouts. So you get two clean beds which sleeps
up to four guests. So it depends on who you
want to glamp with, right, but you can get a
king or two bunk beds and have six guests if
(03:15):
you really want to get into it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Now does it say are they like just like the
air streams that they pimp out or are they cabins
or how do they do this? Because this is a
big thing out West, it has been for a while
in Pennsylvania is long overdue to do this because they
will be full for big parts of the year.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
So I was trying to look at the site, and
it almost it makes it look like you can kind
of do like beyond the yurt, you know what I mean. Like,
so there's ones that look like they're almost like glorified yurts,
and then there's ones that look like uh, not like cabins,
(03:53):
but a little more secure than that, right, but you're
talking about like the almost like.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, occasionally they put up like almost like those tiny humps,
like like you know how they made those apartments over
on the East End out of shipping containers. It's kind
of stuff like that that they'll use occasionally, or like
those portable sheds you can buy on Amazon. It's stuff
that kind of looks like that, but they make it
a nice little campsite for you with a fire pit and.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
You know, like that like where it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I mean that that's like a big yert.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
It's a very big.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Yet, but it does like a jet stream kind of
like or what did you call it, the airstream? Airstream, sorry,
not a jet stream. And he works for a company
that does that, and like I've seen them bring the
to the house every once in a while, like when
they get one that's banged up, and he's just like, yeah,
I'm just bringing.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
It home for a minute, and I don't know, maybe
this will be who we are now.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, they're very tempting. Boy, when you get a nice one,
you're like, I could this is it minimalization. I could
just completely bring my life down to the studs and
live inside this airstream. And after a I had a
friend who did it, and they regretted it almost immediately.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
I also had a friend who did it, like sold
all their stuff and moved into it, and it lasted
less than a year, and then I think they got
depression and were like, I'm not Francis McDorman.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
I don't want to poop.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It up bucket actly, same exact thing that happened with
my friends. And they had a dog, making it even
more difficult. They're like, we really thought this was going
to be more adventurous. Instead you just like basically dock
at a campsite in South Carolina and work.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
At a friendlies.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Yeah, not great.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's not as much fun, it's not as romantic as
you make it out to be, but.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
It's still nice, Like it's still a way to have
an experienced coffeemaker, menu, fridge, there are electrical outlets, rugs, lamps,
diffuserr ceiling fan. It's like, you know, Coachilla, Yeah in
the wilderness, sure, Coachella in Tyanesta.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Right, So they're gonna.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Be putting these glamping opportunities at the following state parks.
Laurel Hill, Somerset County, Pimate Toombing, Crawford County, Poe Valley,
Center County, French Creek, Chester County, Coudoris, York County, Hickory Run,
Carbon County, Hills Creek, Tioga County, and Promised Land Pike County.
So if you haven't been any of those locations, those
(06:12):
ones are coming again next year.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Good deal, all right.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Katy Perry and Justin tra Joe have apparently taken their
rumored romance to the next level after being spotted dining
together in Montreal over the summer. Of the pair were
recently photographed getting cozy on a yacht off the coast
of Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I feel like you cannot be taken seriously as a
statesman if you're dating Katy Perry.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Is he still a state He's not, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I mean he must be okay with never being won again.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Probably not.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
He's like, in these photos he's grabbing her button everything.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And that's not very statesman like, not at all, it's
very statesman like.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I would actually go with that. At least he's out
in the open about it.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Perry and Teaux are both recently separated from their longtime partners.
The pop singers split from actor Orlando Bloom in June,
while the former Canadian Prime minister separated from his wife
Sophia in August of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
What do you think drives the sort of public I
don't want to say hatred, but why do people get
so bummed.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Out of by Katy Perry? Exactly?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
The tone deafness of her what she said she was
an astronaut. Yeah, it's just mostly that she doesn't realize
what's going on with the rest of the world.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
So as she kind of emerges with any kind.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
Of pr thing, she does it so loudly and kind
of forgets about the rest of us, who are going
coffee is twenty five dollars right now, and she just,
you know, I don't know, she just doesn't seem to
have any self awareness at all.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, I don't know how she has so much money.
I don't need her last door totally bombed? Or is
she still on it?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I feel like her tour is done right. But also
when you say I don't know how she has any
other like because other pop stars Rihanna, you know, Gwen Stefani,
like they have makeup lines, Selena Gomez.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Like they have other things, Like doesn't she just do music?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Or wait?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Is I mean it could American idol money be that much?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Maybe that's what I forgot she was on that.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Outside of that, am I missing something?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Her divorce from Russell Brand might have made her rich.
Maybe maybe she took.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
A lot of his money and that's why he started
selling colloidal silver online.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Maybe maybe she got a lot of money out of
him to shut him up.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Yeah about all the stuff he did to shut her up.
Oh that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like she blackmailed him.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You mean I'm into it all right? Well, maybe she's
a more nefarious carecter. She's like a bond girl. Then yeah,
this is Trudeau's got his bond girl. I don't know.
It seems like they're both kind of douchey, so they're
perfect for each other.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Yeah, maybe they're both ye insufferable. We just don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Sammy Hagar has been hosting his annual birthday Bash over
the past weekend at his Cabo Wabo Cantina. The Bash,
which is a run of four shows in seven days.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
He always does this big.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
It kicked off on October the seventh, and it wrapped
up with a final gig on his actual birthday, which
was yesterday. But the concerts typically feature a large guest
list of performers and rock royalty, and this year he
brought out Alison Chain's guitarist singer Jerry Cantrell. Belinda Carlisle
was at this Joey Belladonna from Anthrax. But I want
(09:40):
you to listen to him belt out the chorus here
of a Man in the Box.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
That sounds pretty good.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Sammy and Jerry Cantrell, Yes, seventy eight. That's the most
ridiculous part of all this.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Man seventy eight years old.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Yeah, partying for and then he hooked a mc king
Perry it, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, it has so much a common.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Really really good man.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I watched a couple other videos.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
It's just like the fact that like he I was
looking at.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I mean, he's got sunglasses on and everything, and again
he's partying for four days. But I don't know, tequila
keeps you young. He looks like he's sixty.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And have you ever been to that place? I've been there.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's not that big, you know, it's like like.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
It looks like a small club.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah big.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean the performance area is like the size of
Jurgles and there's a restaurant wow attached to it.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You know, it's like a bar restaurant.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Do you exclusively live there?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
No, I don't think so. But it's funny when you
go in there, it's all Sammy Hagar. That's all they play.
So it's it's montro Sammy solo stuff in Van Hagar
NonStop on a loop. I'm sure that changes sometimes, but
when we were there, that's all we heard, and it
was making me laugh so hard. I'm like, this is
a super level of narcissism. It's kind of been like
(11:39):
say Frank Sinatra, when you'd go hang out with them,
he'd make you listen to his records.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh no, yeah, and it drove some people crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
They're like, come on, dude, back or down a little bit,
don't I get like, hey, I just cut something.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'd love for you guys to hear it.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
That's a little different.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
I mean, I think there was a Billie Eilish had
said that at one point where she's like, why shouldn't
I love my records? Which I understand that, But then
I also remember hearing like nightmare stories of Kanye West,
like capturing people and being like, you gotta listen to
my record.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah, but he literally like detained them and handcuffed them. Yeah, exactly.
Then he put a Nazi memorabilia, they started spouting stuff.
It was a little different, little yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I guess I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
All right.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
If you've never had a job in retail, lucky you.
A poll found over a third of Americans have spent
at some point in their life working in retail. So
more than a thousand people were asked about thirty different jobs,
whether they've worked in each field or not. So most
common on the list again is retail worker. So I
(12:47):
know you've worked at a carpet store because it was
in the family business. Where there are any other retail
jobs that you had to hold?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Umm, not that I mean I've had plenty of jobs,
like before I became an adult, especially you know throughlog stuff. Well,
I mean when I became an adult, I got into radio.
And when I say adult, I mean post college. I
worked for KPMG, which your dad, you know, is well
aware of because I have there's like a security thing
(13:15):
if I come within one hundred yards of alarms showing
my dad, yeah K So I worked for KPMG for
a little bit and then went right into radio after that.
But I sold carpet from my dad always. Once we
got to like eighteen or nineteen, he would let us
do that. So like, well actually like seventeen, so like
(13:36):
after school I would put on like a collared shirt
and go out and be like, oh.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You needed some remnants.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It wasn't I wasn't doing like huge commercial jobs. But
I also was a Nitney note taker of Penn State.
I took notes for people, and I got paid to
take notes, and then people would buy my notes.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
I did that under the table kind of thing. That's
a real job.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
It was.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't know in this day and age if that
still exists, because I don't know how they wouldn't just
get people would just wouldn't copy it. They used to
print them on red paper, so nobody could photo copy
it back in the day. But I think there are
ways around that obviously now you just scan things.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I'm not understanding that much.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Literally, I would go to a marketing class, I would
take the notes, and then I would present them typed
to this company and then they would sell it, Oh
do you need the notes for marketing three twenty one,
and then you would buy You could buy a semester pack,
which would be like fifty bucks or something like that.
And one year I had a class that I never
went to because I double books as I was trying
(14:32):
to get done in four years. So I had two
classes at the same time, basically, and one of them
was like a gangbang class, you know, like the Forum
huge Yeah, and it was just all notes. So my
buddy went to that class all the time, and I
was like, Hey, can I borrow your notes? And he's
like yeah, And I would type up his notes all
the time and then I'd sell them. And then at
the end of the semester he came up to me
(14:53):
and he's like, what the dude, I just spent fifty
bucks for my own notes. He's like, you're the you know,
take it for that class. I was like, yeah, yeah,
oh yeah, I got my notes and I'm like, I know,
but look how nice they.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Are, Look how great they are down there organized.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, that was a fun job in college and then
mostly I played the piano and you know, I worked
in bars.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But retail with like dealing with people and going into
their homes was a life changer, Like it was. It's
a very important thing to do, I think, is to
deal with the general public.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
I think if you haven't worked in service, like or
the service industry, like you, Wow, you were for caterer, right, Yeah,
but I had I had several jobs.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I'm trying to remember what my I mean. I had
to do babysitting for a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
That's working with people.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Yeah, but I mean that's like a different kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Like for whatever reason we've i think we've talked about
it before on the show, Like you're always like babysitting
people that are like just a couple of years younger
than you, and you're like, why the hell am I babysitting?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Then like you're like, I'm I'm eleven, Like why am
I babysitting?
Speaker 6 (16:00):
But I started working at a I think I started
working at a furniture store first. It was just like
a like a kind of a custom made furniture store.
Started working there, started working at the Dollar Tree for.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
A while, so you definitely did a lot of retail.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
I did a ton of retail. I worked at the
Dollar Tree.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Then I started working at an ice cream shop first,
and then the ice cream shop was the front of
the catering store.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I kind of liked it. I liked dealing with people.
I liked talking with people.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Occasionally you'd get putts, but like you would just like,
first of all, you can kind of play mind games
with them and stuff too, and like you can just
have fun next to them when they were completely aloof.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
There was like other than someone who was just awful,
which was very rare most of the time, it was
pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
I think if you have to work for tips, it
also is a good.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Aspect of your personality you have to develop too, because
people can be really really rude to you. Oh yeah, well,
especially you have to figure out me, like I got
to work through.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I think there's a distinction between working in like food
service and other forms of retail because the angry factor,
oh yeah, that gets you know, put into that equation,
I think really tips it towards the way more difficult job.
I was always adjacent to that, my friend, because I
(17:20):
was like playing in the bars or whatever. My friends
were bartenders and waitresses and waiters and or they had
restaurants and dealing with people who wanted to eat is
a different thing.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's just a different thing.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Man.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
People get really angry.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It's like when somebody tries to mess with the dog
while it's eating, and it's like, oh, you know, that's
basically a table full of those people who are trying
to be a little you know, more refined than that,
but you know, thinly veiled, they're basically angry dogs waiting
to eat.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Absolutely, and then if you screw up one little thing,
a lot of times they're merciless.
Speaker 7 (17:53):
Yeah, but you also have to be adaptable.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
I have to be on your feet. You're coming in
like an R catering business. It wasn't like venues. We
were going to people's houses. Yeah, so it was like,
well sometimes it was venues, but it was mostly going
into people's homes. And so you know, you're setting up
in people's homes or you're setting up in their yards
we had like a big barbecue pit, so it was
like a very adaptable thing where sometimes it was just
(18:16):
like a cool backyard barbecue thing, and sometimes you're doing
a wedding, so it was like, you know, any kind
of like Bridezilla or Mom of the Bride kind of
situation where somebody's like, you know, everything's going wrong today
and you have to be able to change the temperature
and like, you know, be really really accommodating.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
And some people like a therapist and a.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Caterer, and then sometimes it's somebody's drunk uncle where you're
like time apartment.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
This is why I got into cators, you know.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
So it's just kind of like that's wild, but you
do learn to deal with people. But then you also
learn when you're not in that situation and you're working
with people who are delivering services to you, how they
would like to be treated because you're just on the
other side of that. That to me is like more
of the value of having worked in any kind of
service industry is that you understand on the other side
(19:05):
of it to.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Not be a jerk.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Well, I always say that that when I was working
on the trucks in the carbon stores for all those years,
which was most of what I did, like every summer
and going into people's homes that way is the way
you would get treated by people. Really did affect how
you treated people who came to your house and worked
in turn, like I have never not been like you
guys want coffee, you want an iced tea, you want
(19:30):
a water.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
You know, Hey it's five o'clock. You want to be
here on your way home?
Speaker 5 (19:33):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Like the difference and just and that they very rarely
take it, but the difference in just being made to
feel like you're welcome here while you're working, you know,
and so many people act like you're walking into some
you know, a Biltmore castle or something like that, when
you're going into their house in White Oak and it's like, hey,
I'm here to help you.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Stop making me like they're like, don't use that bathroom.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You know, there are people who really treat you like
an outsider in their own home, which I've never understood.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's like being mean to the person cooking your food, which.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Is also stupid.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Hmm.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
I can say that cater I never did anything bad.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Stupid to do.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
It's just you're to do. You are playing with fire,
playing with boggers.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
And maybe boogers and maybe if I drop something, I
picked it back up sometime today and Hi of seventy.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I never had is you know, many friends as I've
had in the service industry throughout my life, I've never
heard a story of one of them doing that to
somebody now, like that.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
That's too dangerous to do. I think you're you're kind
of a sociopathepy do.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
That fast food places. I think it happens.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
You probably get paid too little too.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Which is right, And that's why being rude to those people.
I never understand why at the drive through drivers will
be jerks to the people, like you can't even see
what they're doing to your food at all. Oh, i'd
be careful, and you're literally being mean to the person
putting your food together.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
I'd be the sweetest I've ever been in my life. Yeah,
just a hawker right on your burger.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Oh yeah, they can't control that line. Oh, they can't
control that line.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
After we got back from Dublin, I was starving.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I don't know why, Like that was just a long
travel day and I don't think we ate anything, but
whatever was on the plane, whatever gruel they gave us
on the plane on.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
The way back.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
That gruel wasn't terrible. You and Bill cleaned it out.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I don't remember, but are the mac and cheese you, yeah,
that's right Polish.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
But I tried to go to the Wendy's on the
way home and the like, the line was just so big,
and one guy in front of me was being a
jerk and I was like, I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Out of here.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I don't want the risk that his Hawker Burger ends
up in my bag.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
He can't do it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Uh, Thursday night Steelers back at it. Short week for them.
The Bengals. They're gonna rod dog the Bengals Thursday night.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Oh no, I don't want it.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Charlie Batch will be in at six forty five. Jean
Stereotaur seven forty five. We'll always love talking with Geen,
Meryl Hall, Billy Gardell and Moore coming up.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Gets shout it out a lot back.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Off Blogloo All go bring me on.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
The show that has always been pure Pittsburgh is the
DVE Electric Lunch. Pittsburgh has decide the menu every day
in the All request at Electric Lunch with Michelle Michaels.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
So let me know what you guys need on DVE.
Speaker 11 (22:20):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service.
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service tax consports.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Is that brought to you by Bridgevilleppliance.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
Maybe the Buffalo Bill's got to join the AFC North
because they played last night and they lost on Monday
Night football twenty four to fourteen at Atlanta Steelers. Once
again sitting watching the somebody that they're in competition with
take a dump.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Their defense is so much worse than I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But don't sleep offense wasn't great either last night. I
wouldn't sleep on Atlanta either. I mean, Bijehon is a star.
Speaker 12 (22:58):
To your point about Buffalo's defense, b Jhon Robinson carried
nineteen times for one hundred and seventy yards and a touchdown.
Drake London caught ten passes for one hundred and fifty
eight yards and a touchdown. Michael Pennix twenty of thirty
two for two point fifty and a touchdown. Atlanta basically
ran it and threw it. Other than that, that Bill's
defense really bucked up. But the stars are looking like stars.
(23:22):
They just and on the Buffalo side. James Cook averaged
five point one to carry and they only gave him
the ball seventeen times.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I don't know what to make any AFC. NFC is
stacked this year.
Speaker 12 (23:38):
Yes, it looks like it. AFC looks anybody's game. I mean, honestly,
if I had to pick a team right now, you're
gonna watch Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yep. After watching them played Detroit.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Really yeah, one game turned it around for you.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
Well, I mean that who they played and who they played,
and they've been to sixth straight AFC Championship games with
Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
He rode penalty called on the Chiefs in that game.
Speaker 12 (24:01):
Yes, zero, and they've still got that going forward with
apparently come on, dude.
Speaker 13 (24:06):
Juju got a wet Willie and punched in the face
after the game too.
Speaker 12 (24:10):
They suspended Brian bitch. He should have given him a bonus.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Whatever, Bro, Well, that man was handing.
Speaker 12 (24:21):
One of my early interactions with Juju said, I asked
him about a play in the preseason game and the
response was whatever.
Speaker 13 (24:28):
Bro talked about the TikTok Dancer fall from Grace. That kid,
we all loved him. He got his bike stolen and
then also we heard.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Some stuff, don't forget Bill about him maybe not being
the greatest guy when it came to his philanthropic.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I heard that.
Speaker 13 (24:43):
That's what I mean, that was part of it. It
just he was like the most lovable kid ever, teaching
him how to drive a car and then everybody riding
him out of town on a rail.
Speaker 12 (24:55):
He did also earn a lot of props from Steeler
Nation for letting up contest perfect well, there was that, Yeah,
there was that made a T shirt out standing over Yeah.
But back here, sir, Funeral seriously always did compete hard
on the field, no question about that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Heinz whardion in that respect.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But back to your original point about the AFC, I mean,
I think you have to go Chiefs. Steelers are in
the discussion, believe it or not. And it's not because
I think they're a juggernaut. It's just I don't think
the AFC is very good this year. Car.
Speaker 12 (25:31):
Your AFC standings right now in terms of the playoff seedings,
Indianapolis is first at five and one, Pittsburgh is second
at four and one. The Chargers are third at four
and two. New England is fourth at four and two.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We caught New England at the right time, and New
England's Okay, well, Drake may has caught fire.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, well that matters.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
Colts just struggled with Arizona's backup won the game, while
they're also saying that he might get the starting job
over Kler Murray now that he just took the job
from Kyler Murray. The Kobe has always been a pretty professional.
Give you a credible performance when he's needed, but he
gives you.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
He gives you three or four of those, and then
you get under the spell that he might be the guy.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Then he's not the guy.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
There's also been some weird losses this year.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
I mean the Cowboys listening to the Panthers, the Bills
dropping one of the Falcons seems like a huge upset.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
But I mean, listen to the players you just listed.
Speaker 13 (26:28):
That's the star quarterback that they drafted, a star receiver,
and the.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Best running back in the league.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
And yet what have they ever done? Oh no, they stay.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But the Ravens were supposed to be part of that
equation of best in the AFC out there. The Chargers
have too many injuries they think to be able to
count on them to stay atop to heap there.
Speaker 12 (26:47):
Yeah, they were able to cut one out over Miami,
which is imploding, right, But hey, do you know.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Who you know who's good in the Denver?
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Denver's good.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Denver is on the clutch.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
The Jets game, they squeaked that one.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Stink They're on the come up on here right now.
Speaker 12 (27:07):
The other Monday Night game was the Bears beating the
Commander's twenty five twenty four Bears of three and two
after being a joke last year. Look out, Steel's getting
ready for the Bengals on Thursday night in Cincinnati. That's
not good news for the Steelers because it's on a Thursday.
Mike Tomlin nine and eleven all time on Thursday nights,
(27:27):
one in five since twenty nineteen, and hasn't won a
road game on a Thursday since two thousand and seven.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
In Saint Louis.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
Whoa, So it's it's history, not prophecy. But you know,
hasn't been good on Thursdays, none.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Of Look Toma was pussy yesterday.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
None of that, however, much of a concern to Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 14 (27:49):
I'm only concerned about twenty twenty five. I got my
ass kicked in a lot of ways. Over the last
nineteen years.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
He was in rare form.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
You know, it's kind of like we talked last week about,
you know, his record against rookie starting quarterbacks and Cleveland's
record here and all that.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
It matters, but it doesn't you know what I mean.
Speaker 12 (28:08):
It identifies trends. But what happened two years ago, five
years ago, how does that really apply to Thursday. What's
going to apply to Thursday is that Joe Flacco is
going to be quarterbacking the Bengals, not Jake Browning. And
if you watch that Green Bay Cincinnati game Sunday, Joe
Flacco in the first half looked like a guy that
(28:28):
just walked off the street and was trying to play
quarterback at forty years of age, which all of which
was true. And in the second half he looked like
Joe Flacco. Yeah, he looked pretty good.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Look like a guy that learned the playbook. On the
Ohio Turnpike.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
Started to get the timing down a little bit with
Chase and they moved the ball and scored it. Mike
Tom's still scratching his head as to why Joe Flacco
was playing for Cincinnati and not Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
You know, to be honest, it was shocking to me.
Speaker 14 (28:57):
Andrew Barry must be a lot smarter than me or us,
because it doesn't make sense to me to trade a
quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening
day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in that area.
But that's just my personal feelings.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I have to tell you, I love that he said
that it was very out of character for me.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Out of character. He must be chapped about that, well
with good reason, and it was a stupid move. It
really set off my algorithm. To Cleveland's Sports Talk Sam,
I was saying, I couldn't get enough of it though,
watching those guys lose their minds yesterday over this, and
then when Tomlin said that they felt like that was
(29:37):
the biggest valid day.
Speaker 15 (29:39):
Well, it's the validation that they're all needing or wanting. Yeah,
that those words were music to their ears. They're like, exactly, Yes,
this guy's a joke. Our GM is a joke.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (29:51):
The funny part about it is I had not seen
Flacco play at all for Cleveland, and I did the Thursday.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
That preview with Matt Williamson and Merril.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
High and we talked about this last week and those
guys both said Flacco looked beyond awful with the Browns.
Meryl sent it on our show last week. Yeah, Merrill say,
looks like a guy that doesn't want to play. And
Williamson said, he's just awful, terrible, And that second happened
at Packer game. He looked like Joe Flecco, you know,
I mean a lot of quarterbacks look like that in Cleveland.
Though the mobility is just good enough. You know he
(30:22):
can he can get out of it once in a while.
A lot of it kind of looks like the way
Aaron Rodgers is playing. He has some escapability. There will
be times where he'll just throw it away. Okay, this
down's over. I'm not getting it picked off. I'm throwing
it away. But he can still get outside. He can
still throw on a run. He was hitting tight windows
with Chase. In the second half against the Browning he
(30:45):
threw two touchdowns on fourth downs.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
One was a ridiculous case. I mean, one was a
throw it up and hope for the best.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
But that's if you have Tamar Chase.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's what to do.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Though, right you don't have to do a lot more.
Speaker 12 (30:57):
You got to take that shot to give him a shot. Yep, Uh,
this is a this is interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It's a game the Steelers should win, does not mean
they will.
Speaker 12 (31:06):
Yeah, I put it in the old AFC North category. Guys,
just you know we'll throw their records out. Yeah, that
sounds cliche, but I've been watching this division a long time.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I've seen this movie before.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's always a raw dog in the AFC North.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Thursday Night eight fifteen kickoff, Abbams's got your News Top
of the Hour.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
An unknown substance shut down a Pittsburgh office yesterday, but
it kind of sounds delicious. And another star in a
car accident that we have to talk about.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
We got the details on that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Charlie Batch next here on the DV morning show, We
get It. Some of you tune in at one oh
two point five and others listen through their smart device.
Speaker 9 (31:44):
No matter how you listen, Pittsburgh's rocker is.
Speaker 16 (31:47):
W dv's always rocked and always well rocked DV.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
It's football season.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
So how about not wasting another Sunday feeling like you
got to clean the garage?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Spurg Steeler Football one oh two point five DV E
Randy Bama with Bill Crawford, Abby Chrisner and Mike Persuda
and welcoming from the Pittsburgh Steeler Audio Network postgame show.
He's like, he was the guy that everybody put Batch in,
and they're saying the same thing now on the radio.
Put Patch in, get him in there, let's hear what
(32:19):
he has to say.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Charlie Batch is here for you, and he gets a
nice ride on the Plus.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Good morning, Chuck.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Everyone's in a good mood because you know, four and
one lead.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Nacy North just embarrassed the Browns once again.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Now looking ahead at the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
But for you, what was the impressive aspect of the
Steelers went over the Browns on Sunday?
Speaker 9 (32:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 17 (32:41):
For me, I just watching him stay, of course, and
they wanted to establish that running game, and early on
it wasn't going in that manner, but they put that
big package in and they started dashing the brown ten
yard run after ten yard run, and I'm like, Wow,
they have something with that particular package, and I just
love how they're implementing that and adding Darnell Washington to
this passing game as well.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, they stuck with the run, which I loved and
I kept saying that last week, like hey, if it
ain't working, you just keep pounding it. And you saw
that defensive line, the defense in front of the Browns
wear down there and Jalen Warren, you know, Bill said
it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
He's not an easy guy to bring down.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
Not at all. And he's you know, like that bowling pin,
you know, type of deal.
Speaker 17 (33:22):
And he's done that throughout the course of his career
and now that he's getting that opportunity and when the
Browns come again, statistically they were four overall, number one
against the rush. So you knew it had to be patient.
And that's why I was warning people before the game.
Speaker 9 (33:35):
I said, this may be.
Speaker 17 (33:36):
A boring game to watch because they're both going to
attend attempt to rush to football. And sure enough, that
first half was the snoozer, but they were able to
pick it up and they were able to score points
when needed.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
It was a snoozer in the first half, and I
think the crowd was kind of put to sleep, but
boy did they wake up in the second half. I
thought that was an amazing home field crowd at akershar
Stadium that they stayed the course as well, and they
were there when they needed him to be. Because Dylan
Gabriel had a really hard time on some big third
downs when the crowd was just overpowering.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 17 (34:09):
And you know, coming into it, the Steelers wanted to
make the Browns a one dimensional offense because if they
can get them behind the sticks, and they were successful
on first down, that's where the crowd starts to become
impactful on those third and long situations. Very similar to
everything that we saw throughout the course of the game.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
And when you just look at the final.
Speaker 17 (34:27):
Statistics and you see a rookie quarterback in his first
rogue game, even though it's a second overall, throwing the
ball fifty two times, Yeah, that lets you know the
Steeler made a one dimensional But also, you know, you
get to that point, man, you have to give hats
off to that crowd man, because they were electric in
the stadium yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Did you have any sense of what Dylan Gabriel might
be able to do as quarterback for the Browns or
was that just such a suffocating performance by the Steelers
defense that hard to make heads heads or tails of it?
Speaker 17 (34:58):
Yeah, you know, you know he could throw the football.
The challenge was going to be whether you can now
take advantage of some of.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
The height issues he had.
Speaker 17 (35:04):
There was only one or two passes that they batted
down though. Typically when you're playing a quarterback who's under
six foot, you typically like to bring the blitz up
the middle. So he's looking at that pressure and is
now naturally going to roll out and you start to
get tendencies, and of course the left hand quarterback is
going to roll out to the left there, and that's
where you're able to now pick up some of those
sacks that he started to kind of roll. You saw
(35:26):
Jalen Ramsey pick up a sack off of a blitz
to that right side of anticipating him rolling to the left.
So it was a great defensive plan that the Steelers
put together Charlie.
Speaker 12 (35:35):
According to the NFL research, Nick Herbig's two sacks of
Dylan gabriel were his first of Gabriel since the twenty
eighteen Hawaii State championship game. If anybody's for the WI
Field ever dropped you in an NFL game, oh.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
They absolutely did.
Speaker 17 (35:54):
And one that really stands out with the fact that
it didn't happen when I was in Pittsburgh, but it
happened when I was in Detroit and Jason Tay was
playing with the Dolphins and we played them for the
first time and he sacks and he says, not only
is just for the whippule, this is for you beat me.
When I was at Akaram, you were that Eastern Michigan,
so I promised you.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
These things happened.
Speaker 17 (36:13):
But you know, you know, just a side note on that,
Me and Jason Taylor actually went to elementary school together.
We went to Barrett Elementary School in Homestead before he
actually went to Woolen Hills for his seniors for his
high school career. You know, so it's really you know,
that's how far me and him go back.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
That's crazy. There's levels to this, Chuck.
Speaker 13 (36:31):
The one thing that was really impressive to me yesterday
was that on Sunday was that, you know, Nick Herbig
saying that this defense hasn't reached its potential yet. It's
it's hard to imagine them going to another level. But
they dropped five interceptions, so I can't wait to see
what they do on Thursday night.
Speaker 17 (36:50):
Yeah, that's the key right there. They have easy buff
football do they have in their hands. It's not like
it's tipballs or whatever. They just have to make those catches.
And if you go back to training camp Mike Tomlin,
he stated as the training camp was starting that this
defense had the chance to be historic. Now, I know
that didn't happen the first couple of weeks of the season,
only because you did not have the pieces in place.
(37:11):
But man, what a difference did Derek Harmon make on
that defensive line next to Camp and Kean Oubitten.
Speaker 9 (37:18):
That guy is playing lights out.
Speaker 17 (37:19):
That's allowing those linebackers to now flow freely and make
the plays that they need the need to make. And
that's why you saw somebody like Patrick Queen going sideline
this sideline because you know, no longer has to worry
about whether those offensive linemen is going to work their
way up to the next level because the defensive front
is commanding those double teams, allowing those linebackers to flow.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Do you think that the first play of the game,
in particular, indicated to other defenses that just because that
jumbo package isn't out there, the Steelers have enough flexibility
in that to keep running and out going forward.
Speaker 9 (37:53):
Yeah, they can.
Speaker 17 (37:54):
You know, obviously you want to use the spot, you know,
just sporadically only because you want to kind of make
sure you keep those rotations going on, and you don't
get the tendencies from a coordinator understanding and trying to
be one step ahead of.
Speaker 9 (38:04):
The offensive coordinator.
Speaker 17 (38:05):
If you just look at that first play at the game,
and you can see tendencies wise coming into it, there
was a heavy chance that they were going to run
the football with Darnell Washington on the field. So that's
why they flowed to try to attack the run and
allowed him to get open. After making that play, and
really back to back game that Darnell Washington has played,
he clearly is tight end number one, and I don't
know how you can now get him off of that
(38:27):
field because of the level of production that he is.
Speaker 9 (38:29):
Doing now on a consistent base exactly.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
That's what we were saying the same thing yesterday. He's
just too valuable. And despite what you're paying Friarmuth, who cares,
you don't have to pay Washington that And if they
both cost what is a fourteen million combined, that's a bargain.
Speaker 17 (38:46):
It absolutely is a bar You're talking about four tight
ends completely, you know, I mean three tight ends obviously.
Speaker 9 (38:50):
John news Smith is you.
Speaker 17 (38:52):
Know, kind of that hybrid type of guy making a
little bit more money there, but again that's what happens
when you hit in the draft and you're able to
get that bar for a few years.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Charlie, three weeks till I think it's three weeks till
in the pocket with the Batch Foundation.
Speaker 17 (39:06):
Yes, we are excited at Best of the Batch Foundation.
We have our annual in the Pocket. An event that
we have is pool poke or ping pong. We are
adding cornhole to the equations, so we are super excited
about everything that we're doing. We are raising funds for
our steam programs and are out of school times, which
is very critical for these kids as they are exiting school.
So these are things that we get excited about. All
(39:26):
the information is will be on our website which is
Batch Foundation dot org. We have tons of local celebrities
that are going to be a part of what we
compete against the fans, so bring your competitive nature, can
bring up your juices flowing because games definitely get challenging.
Speaker 9 (39:41):
This is exciting to watch.
Speaker 17 (39:42):
So again, all information is at Batchfoundation dot org. And
we just truly appreciate everybody who supports the mission and
vision of Best at the Batch Foundation.
Speaker 9 (39:49):
So we are humbled and truly grateful.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
You're gonna be a late one for you and Mike
on Thursday night, Chuck.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
It definitely is.
Speaker 17 (39:55):
So we're already figuring out, Okay, what's our caffeine of choices.
We're now figuring out what the first call that we're
going to get it that we're gonna get. We're obviously
talking about after a victory on somebody complaining about something.
And Sunday's game, me and Mike looked at each other
through The first complaint that we had was somebody got mad,
not because they win or to blowout. It was the
fact that Tomlin blew a time out.
Speaker 9 (40:16):
Early in the game.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I told you, look, I apologize for calling, but that
really did piss me off.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Okay, Brady, we.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Love them to death.
Speaker 17 (40:30):
We keep those calls coming in man, it makes the
show fun.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Charlie Batch part of the Steelers Audio Network postgame show
hosted by our own Mike Pursuita and you can hear
them Thursday night after the Steelers take on the Bengals
Thursday Night Football right here on DV.
Speaker 9 (40:44):
Thanks Charlie, Hey, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 18 (40:46):
Good Chuck, It's time for the Steelers Daily Report.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
On DVE.
Speaker 18 (40:51):
Brought to you by Kelly and Pizza and Draft Holes,
three time world Pizza champions and Steelers Pro Shop. Get
it direct from the team at Shop Steelers Dot. Here's
Tom Oproman.
Speaker 16 (41:01):
Steelers quarterback Jalen Ramsey suffered a hamstring injury during the
Steelers game against Minnesota and Dublin a few weeks back
that put his status for this past Sunday's game against
Cleveland and Jeopardy. However, thanks to the bye week and
vigorous rehab, Ramsey was able to play and his impact
was immense. Not only was his presence the usual to
turn in the passing game, but he also had six
total tackles, two tackles for loss, and racked up two
sacks of Browns rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel. It was a
(41:23):
game high in sacks from Ramsey for his career, who
joked after the game he'll be able to tell his
kids he played in a game with Miles Garrett and TJ.
