Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford
Store Sunshine today and it's a high of seventy Timberlin.
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 3 (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 8 (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 3 (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 8 (04:20):
You know, like that like where it's yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
I mean that that's like a big yert.

Speaker 9 (04:25):
It's a very big.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (04:44):
It home for a minute, and I don't know, maybe
this will be who we are now.

Speaker 3 (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 8 (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 5 (05:12):
I don't want to poop.

Speaker 3 (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 6 (05:26):
At a friendlies.

Speaker 9 (05:27):
Yeah, not great.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's not as much fun, it's not as romantic as
you make it out to be, but.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (05:49):
Right, So they're gonna.

Speaker 8 (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 6 (06:15):
Good deal, all right.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (06:30):
I feel like you cannot be taken seriously as a
statesman if you're dating Katy Perry.

Speaker 9 (06:35):
Is he still a state He's not, but he's not.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
I mean he must be okay with never being won again.

Speaker 9 (06:40):
Probably not.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
He's like, in these photos he's grabbing her button everything.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
And that's not very statesman like, not at all, it's
very statesman like.

Speaker 9 (06:50):
I would actually go with that. At least he's out
in the open about it.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (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 6 (07:14):
Out of by Katy Perry? Exactly?

Speaker 8 (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 9 (07:30):
So as she kind of emerges with any kind.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (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 8 (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 9 (08:16):
Like they have other things, Like doesn't she just do music?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Or wait?

Speaker 9 (08:23):
Is I mean it could American idol money be that much?

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Maybe that's what I forgot she was on that.

Speaker 9 (08:28):
Outside of that, am I missing something?

Speaker 6 (08:30):
Her divorce from Russell Brand might have made her rich.
Maybe maybe she took.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
A lot of his money and that's why he started
selling colloidal silver online.

Speaker 8 (08:37):
Maybe maybe she got a lot of money out of
him to shut him up.

Speaker 9 (08:41):
Yeah about all the stuff he did to shut her up.
Oh that's what I mean.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like she blackmailed him.

Speaker 3 (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 9 (09:02):
Yeah, maybe they're both ye insufferable. We just don't know.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (09:16):
He always does this big.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (09:45):
That sounds pretty good.

Speaker 10 (09:53):
Sammy and Jerry Cantrell, Yes, seventy eight. That's the most
ridiculous part of all this.

Speaker 6 (10:29):
Man seventy eight years old.

Speaker 10 (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 5 (10:40):
Really really good man.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

Speaker 8 (10:47):
I watched a couple other videos.

Speaker 9 (10:49):
It's just like the fact that like he I was
looking at.

Speaker 8 (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 6 (11:00):
And have you ever been to that place? I've been there.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's not that big, you know, it's like like.

Speaker 9 (11:07):
It looks like a small club.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah big.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
I mean the performance area is like the size of
Jurgles and there's a restaurant wow attached to it.

Speaker 6 (11:14):
You know, it's like a bar restaurant.

Speaker 9 (11:16):
Do you exclusively live there?

Speaker 3 (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 6 (11:44):
Oh no, yeah, and it drove some people crazy.

Speaker 3 (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 6 (11:52):
I'd love for you guys to hear it.

Speaker 9 (11:53):
That's a little different.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (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, I guess I
like it.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
All right.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (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 6 (13:40):
You needed some remnants.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
You know.

Speaker 3 (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 9 (13:51):
I did that under the table kind of thing. That's
a real job.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
It was.

Speaker 3 (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 9 (14:09):
I'm not understanding that much.

Speaker 3 (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 9 (15:05):
Are, Look how great they are down there organized.

Speaker 6 (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 9 (15:13):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (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 5 (15:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (15:37):
I'm trying to remember what my I mean. I had
to do babysitting for a long time.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
That's working with people.

Speaker 9 (15:43):
Yeah, but I mean that's like a different kind of thing.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (15:55):
Then like you're like, I'm I'm eleven, Like why am
I babysitting?

Speaker 8 (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 6 (16:12):
A while, so you definitely did a lot of retail.

Speaker 9 (16:14):
I did a ton of retail. I worked at the
Dollar Tree.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (16:23):
I kind of liked it. I liked dealing with people.
I liked talking with people. 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 5 (16:38):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (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 9 (16:46):
I think if you have to work for tips, it
also is a good.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (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 6 (17:31):
It's just a different thing.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Man.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
People get really angry.

Speaker 3 (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. Yeah. Absolutely, and then if you screw up
one little thing, a lot of times they're merciless.

Speaker 9 (17:53):
Yeah, but you also have to be adaptable.

Speaker 8 (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 6 (18:33):
And some people like a therapist and a.

Speaker 8 (18:35):
Caterer, and then sometimes it's somebody's drunk uncle where you're
like time apartment.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
This is why I got into cators, you know.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (19:06):
Not be a jerk.

Speaker 3 (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 6 (19:31):
You know, Hey it's five o'clock. You want to be
here on your way home? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (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 6 (19:55):
Stop making me like they're like, don't use that bathroom.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
You know, there are people who really treat you like
an outsider in their own home, which I've never understood.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
It's like being mean to the person cooking your food, which.

Speaker 9 (20:07):
Is also stupid.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Hmm.

Speaker 9 (20:09):
I can say that cater I never did anything bad.

Speaker 11 (20:12):
Stupid to do.

Speaker 9 (20:14):
It's just you're to do. You are playing with fire,
playing with boggers.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
And maybe boogers and maybe if I drop something, I
picked it back up sometime today and Hi of seventy.

Speaker 3 (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 8 (20:33):
That's too dangerous to do. I think you're you're kind
of a sociopathepy do.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
That fast food places. I think it happens.

Speaker 9 (20:40):
You probably get paid too little too.

Speaker 3 (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 8 (21:00):
I'd be the sweetest I've ever been in my life. Yeah,
just a hawker right on your burger.

Speaker 9 (21:06):
Oh yeah, they can't control that line. Oh, they can't
control that line.

Speaker 6 (21:11):
After we got back from Dublin, I was starving.

Speaker 3 (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 6 (21:21):
The way back.

Speaker 9 (21:22):
That gruel wasn't terrible. You and Bill cleaned it out.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
I don't remember, but are the mac and cheese you, yeah,
that's right Polish.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yes. 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 6 (21:37):
Out of here.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
I don't want the risk that his Hawker Burger ends
up in my bag.

Speaker 9 (21:42):
He can't do it.

Speaker 3 (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 9 (21:50):
Oh no, I don't want it.

Speaker 3 (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 11 (22:01):
Gets shout it out a lot back.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Off Blogloo All go bring me on.

Speaker 12 (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 9 (22:17):
So let me know what you guys need on DVE.

Speaker 13 (22:20):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service.
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service tax consports.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Is that brought to you by Bridgevilleppliance.

Speaker 14 (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 6 (22:47):
Their defense is so much worse than I thought it was.

Speaker 3 (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 14 (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 3 (23:33):
I don't know what to make any AFC. NFC is
stacked this year.

Speaker 14 (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 6 (23:46):
Yep. After watching them played Detroit.

Speaker 15 (23:49):
Really yeah, one game turned it around for you.

Speaker 14 (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 6 (23:59):
He rode penalty called on the Chiefs in that game.

Speaker 14 (24:01):
Yes, zero, and they've still got that going forward with
apparently come on, dude.

Speaker 16 (24:06):
Juju got a wet Willie and punched in the face
after the game too.

Speaker 14 (24:10):
They suspended Brian bitch. He should have given him a bonus.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Whatever, Bro, Well, that man was handing.

Speaker 14 (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 16 (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 3 (24:37):
Some stuff, don't forget Bill about him maybe not being
the greatest guy when it came to his philanthropic.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
I heard that.

Speaker 16 (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 14 (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 6 (25:13):
Heinz whardion in that respect.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 7 (25:30):
Car.

Speaker 14 (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 3 (25:45):
We caught New England at the right time, and New
England's Okay, well, Drake may has caught fire. Yeah, well
that matters.

Speaker 14 (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 3 (26:09):
He gives you three or four of those, and then
you get under the spell that he might be the guy.

Speaker 6 (26:14):
Then he's not the guy.

Speaker 15 (26:16):
There's also been some weird losses this year.

Speaker 16 (26:18):
I mean the Cowboys listening to the Panthers, the Bills
dropping one of the Falcons seems like a huge upset.

Speaker 15 (26:25):
But I mean, listen to the players you just listed.

Speaker 16 (26:28):
That's the star quarterback that they drafted, a star receiver,
and the.

Speaker 15 (26:32):
Best running back in the league.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
And yet what have they ever done?

Speaker 11 (26:37):
Oh no, they stay.

Speaker 3 (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 14 (26:47):
Yeah, they were able to cut one out over Miami,
which is imploding, right, But hey, do you know.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Who you know who's good in the Denver?

Speaker 15 (26:57):
Denver's good.

Speaker 6 (26:59):
Denver is on the clutch.

Speaker 15 (27:01):
The Jets game, they squeaked that one.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Stink They're on the come up on here right now.

Speaker 14 (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 6 (27:35):
In Saint Louis.

Speaker 14 (27:37):
Whoa, So it's it's history, not prophecy. But you know,
hasn't been good on Thursdays, none.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
Of Look Toma was pussy yesterday. None of that, however,
much of a concern to Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 17 (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 15 (27:56):
He was in rare form.

Speaker 14 (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 6 (28:04):
It matters, but it doesn't.

Speaker 18 (28:07):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 14 (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 3 (28:38):
Look like a guy that learned the playbook. On the
Ohio Turnpike.

Speaker 14 (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 18 (28:53):
You know, to be honest, it was shocking to me.

Speaker 17 (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 6 (29:12):
I have to tell you, I love that he said
that it was very out of character for me.

Speaker 3 (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 16 (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 11 (29:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (29:51):
The funny part about it is I had not seen
Flacco play at all for Cleveland, and I did the Thursday.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
That preview with Matt Williamson and Merril.

Speaker 14 (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 3 (30:48):
One was a ridiculous case. I mean, one was a
throw it up and hope for the best.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
But that's if you have Tamar Chase.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's what to do.

Speaker 15 (30:55):
Though, right you don't have to do a lot more.

Speaker 14 (30:57):
You got to take that shot to give him a shot. Yep, Uh,
this is a this is interesting.

Speaker 6 (31:02):
It's a game the Steelers should win, does not mean
they will.

Speaker 14 (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 6 (31:14):
I've seen this movie before. It's always a raw dog
in the AFC North.

Speaker 19 (31:21):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Thursday Night eight fifteen kickoff, Abbams's got your News Top
of the Hour.

Speaker 8 (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 9 (31:33):
We got the details on that.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Charlie Batch next here on the DV morning show, We
get It.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Some of you tune in at one oh two point
five and others listen through their smart device.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
No matter how you listen, Pittsburgh's rocker is.

Speaker 20 (31:47):
W dv's always rocked and always well rocked DV.

Speaker 9 (31:51):
It's football season.

Speaker 8 (31:52):
So how about not wasting another Sunday feeling like you
got to clean the garage?

Speaker 3 (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 6 (32:20):
Charlie Batch is here for you, and he gets a
nice ride on the Plus.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Good morning, Chuck.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
Everyone's in a good mood because you know, four and
one lead.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Nacy North just embarrassed the Browns once again.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
Now looking ahead at the Bengals.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
But for you, what was the impressive aspect of the
Steelers went over the Browns on Sunday?

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (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 3 (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 6 (33:15):
He's not an easy guy to bring down.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Not at all.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
And he's you know, like that bowling pin, you know,
type of deal.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (33:35):
I said, this may be.

Speaker 21 (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 3 (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 2 (34:09):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (34:26):
And when you just look at the final.

Speaker 21 (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 3 (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 21 (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 2 (35:03):
The height issues he had.

Speaker 21 (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 14 (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 2 (35:52):
They absolutely did.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (36:12):
These things happened.

Speaker 21 (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 15 (36:28):
That's crazy. There's levels to this, Chuck.

Speaker 16 (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 21 (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 2 (37:18):
That guy is playing lights out.

Speaker 21 (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 3 (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 2 (37:53):
Yeah, they can.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (38:04):
The offensive coordinator.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (38:29):
Doing now on a consistent base exactly.

Speaker 3 (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 21 (38:46):
It absolutely is a bar You're talking about four tight
ends completely, you know, I mean three tight ends obviously.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
John news Smith is you.

Speaker 21 (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 3 (39:01):
Charlie, three weeks till I think it's three weeks till
in the pocket with the Batch Foundation.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (39:41):
This is exciting to watch.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (39:49):
So we are humbled and truly grateful.

Speaker 6 (39:51):
You're gonna be a late one for you and Mike
on Thursday night, Chuck.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
It definitely is.

Speaker 21 (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 2 (40:16):
Early in the game.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
I told you, look, I apologize for calling, but that
really did piss me off.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
Okay, Brady, we love them to death.

Speaker 21 (40:30):
We keep those calls coming in man, it makes the
show fun.

Speaker 3 (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 2 (40:44):
Thanks Charlie, Hey, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 22 (40:46):
Good Chuck, It's time for the Steelers Daily Report.

Speaker 18 (40:50):
On DVE.

Speaker 22 (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 23 (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 3 (41:30):
Watt and had two sacks.

Speaker 23 (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 6 (41:38):
Speaking of TJ. Watt.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
He was his usual.

Speaker 23 (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
on the South Side as they get ready for another
AFC North matchup in Cincinnati this Thursday against the Bengals
on tom opfrom then with the Steelers report, the.

Speaker 22 (42:03):
Black and Gold faith will always travel well to see
the team on the road, and now Caliente.

Speaker 6 (42:08):
And DVEE give you a chance to become a road warrior.

Hey, it's Randy from the DVE Morning Show. You know
it's more important than everybody. Again, the way you would
get treated by people really did affect how you treated
people who came to your house and work. In turn,
Like I have never not been like you guys want coffee,
you want an iced team, you on a water you know, Hey,

(43:02):
it's five o'clock.

Speaker 6 (43:02):
You want to be here on your way home?

Speaker 18 (43:03):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Like the difference and just and 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 6 (43:26):
Stop making it like they're like, don't use that bathroom.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
You know, there are people who really treat you like
an outsider in their own home, which I've never understood.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
It's like being mean to the person cooking your food, which.

Speaker 9 (43:37):
Is also stupid.

Speaker 6 (43:39):
M hm.

Speaker 9 (43:39):
I can say I never did anything bad.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
It's stupid to do.

Speaker 9 (43:44):
It's just you're you're playing with fire.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Playing with boogers, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 12 (43:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
I remember there was a story that Steve Schrippa who
played Bobby Buckala on The Sopranos, he was on Conan
O'Brien show and he's talking about meeting Reggie Jackson and
Reggie Jackson was at this charity event. Reggie Jackson a
notorious jerk. Really no really, yeah, yeah, not a nice
guy and he.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
Treated him poorly.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
And he had like a you know, like a Make
a Wish kid that he wanted to introduced to Reggie Jackson,
and Reggie was not so pleasant. And he said that
someone came up to him and said, like a security
guard at this charity event came up to Steve tripp
and said, hey, I saw Reggie wasn't so nice to you.
I just want to let you know he's had a
reputation for doing that for decades. In fact, back in
the day, he came into my friend's restaurant Manhattan, and

(44:32):
he was a big jerk to him and the staff,
and so he ordered shrimp cocktail, and the staff took
the shrimp and they did a little bit of a
no they put the shrimp where the sun don't shine.

Speaker 9 (44:46):
No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
No shrimp, and then they did a snail drag with
it and then may it put it on his plate
and they all watched him eat it and enjoyed, like
we got him, you know. And I'm like thinking to
myself upon hearing that story, how did you make.

Speaker 6 (45:04):
Me feel bad for Reggie Jackson? Yeah, he's supposed to
be there.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
That's a little over the line, you know, maybe giving
him one that's not deveaned or something.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
So that's.

Speaker 15 (45:16):
This one. Take that, mister October.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
Right, that's not so.

Speaker 6 (45:21):
But the other one is like, oh, your friend should
be in jail. Now you are the aggressive.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Yes, yeah, straight to jail, Straight to jail.

Speaker 16 (45:31):
Hanging brain on your cocktail.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Now, man, there was a guy, uh in college. He
was trying to get this thing going and I neverod
there's a guy that hung out with us named Schmidi,
And Schmidy was like he was a good guy, but
he also was a little like too much, you know,
And so they would when you act and you did
something that was like you're just doing too much. He'd
call it a schmidty and be like, dude, cal him down, schmidty.

(46:00):
And he started doing this thing where I don't know,
I don't know what goes through guy's heads when they
are like college age, but he would do like put
his fingers like like under his he like he'd do
a scroat drag basically, and then when you weren't like

(46:20):
paying attention, he would he would yell schmidty and under
the nose, give you.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
And it was like, why did.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
You invent this game that you're only playing?

Speaker 8 (46:31):
No, nobody else is doing this.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
And every time I hear somebody reference to schmidty, like
my old factory senses get like a shock, like muscle memory.

Speaker 24 (46:45):
What was essentially pro version of smelling salts. Yeah, I
don't wake up. It was like a total frat guy
to do. And it was like, why are you.

Speaker 8 (46:55):
Doing full touchdown a DK.

Speaker 6 (47:00):
Throw it and run down the field and catch it.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
We'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
If I was the Browns GM Andrew Berry, I wouldn't
go ordering shrimp cocktail anywhere in Cleveland right now, and.

Speaker 16 (47:10):
I'll just fire myself if I was him, Honestly, coach
Tomlin was doing after him yesterday and his press conference
only seemed to throw gasoline on a blazing fire in Cleveland,
and Bill and I were both talking about the fact
that both on our algorithms were just full of Philly
sports Tuck, I'm sorry, absolutely losing.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Their mind yesterday over the Steelers beat down of the Browns.

Speaker 15 (47:37):
That's what happens.

Speaker 16 (47:38):
I mean, honestly, the Steelers beat the Browns, and it
usually happens in Pittsburgh, and it's happened in Pittsburgh since
two thousand and three in the.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Regular season, and then they all just absolutely lose it.
They were screaming about Miles Garrett. When Toma made that
comment about Andrew Barry, they felt completely validated in their
criticism of him.

Speaker 6 (47:55):
And there I've never heard.

Speaker 15 (47:57):
Him name drop in a press conference like that.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Tom Well, he's pissed because I'm thinking he thinks this
was a direct shot at the Seal like he did
this Andrew Berry, and you could tell Stefanski wasn't into it.
Stefanski wouldn't comment on coach Tomlin's comment about Andrew Barry yesterday.
I think tomlind thinks Barry did it to screw the Steelers, like, Hey,

(48:21):
anybody's gonna beat the Steelers.

Speaker 16 (48:22):
I've seen a bunch of scuttle butt online that is
basically saying it's a coaching fraternity and the coach in
the GM. There's been a disconnect going all the way
back to the draft. Stefanski wanted Dylan Gabriel and then
all of a sudden, Andrew Barry got him Shadoor a
couple of rounds later. It does look like they're completely

(48:44):
and totally out of sync.

Speaker 15 (48:46):
What are they doing?

Speaker 16 (48:47):
A guy tells you he wants out of town, Miles Garrett,
and then you end up paying them a boatload of money,
basically caving into a player that said he didn't want
to play for you because you would never compete for
a championship and that's what he wanted to.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
Do with his career.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
And this was after they had his back after the
Mason Rudolph assault, which they never should have because that
was just assault. There's like, if there was a racial
epithet uttered there, we would have heard it, or it
would have like there would have been corroboration. There's none, Like, oh,
the NFL, Mike's magically, they pick up that one play

(49:26):
like we know that didn't happen in an unfairly malign
mason and all of a sudden, somehow Miles Garrett emerges
from that and he's a martyr, like are you kidding me?
And they had his back and then he's still spit
in their face, and then they paid him on top
of that, right, and now he's acting like he's the

(49:47):
one who is being put on, like put upon like,
oh yeah, well I have to drag this crappy organization. Dude,
you took the money, you knew this is what was
going on there.

Speaker 6 (49:57):
But for them, with their.

Speaker 16 (49:58):
First round pick this year, they go out and get
the Michigan kid who said Ohio is dog bleep and
hates the I know he's a good player, and that
changes once you, you know, get drafted and especially that high.

Speaker 15 (50:13):
And your allegiances shift.

Speaker 6 (50:16):
But the self hate to pick that guy. First, well
he's a Michigan guy. You're not going to find a
Michigan guy who thinks Ohio's okay.

Speaker 16 (50:22):
You know, but you picked a guy that hates you,
You paid a guy that hates you. You traded for
a guy, you you signed a guy, you made him
your opening day starter. You got rid of the guy
that you traded for before the season even started. You
traded the guy that you was your opening day starter
to a team in your division, and now you've got

(50:45):
two quarterbacks that you just drafted, and maybe neither of
them are good.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
I think it was a bad look for Tomlin to
do that yesterday, though like it.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
I'm up two minds.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
In one respect, I do like that he said it
because it's kind of fun he called out another GM
way out of character. But it also kind of feels
like you're saying, like you're afraid of Joe Flacco.

Speaker 6 (51:08):
Well, yay, he beat you last year. Like there's an
element to it where.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
You can show respect for Joe Flacco, and like I
could also see it if I were the Bengals, I
would look at that as like the coach is whining,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 16 (51:21):
I mean the way that I look at it is,
hey man, this is AFC North.

Speaker 15 (51:26):
We're not in the business of throwing each other lifelines.

Speaker 16 (51:29):
If we see somebody in our division down, kick them
in the mouth the enemy. You don't trade them a
guy who can throw a deep ball as good as
anybody in the league when they have two of the
best receivers.

Speaker 6 (51:43):
In the league.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
The enemy in my enemy is my friend though, And
you know, if you're Andrew Barry, you might be seeing
this as some sun Zoo art of war stuff.

Speaker 16 (51:52):
Yeah, but you're the Browns, You're not Son su Yeah,
your your dog water.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
I agree. I think the bigger issue they have there
is the disconnect between owner GM and coach clearly, and
it's been fun to see them kind of wriggle around
in that morass over the last twenty four hours after
having to leave Pittsburgh with their tails between their legs.
That was maybe though I sat next to two Browns fans.

(52:19):
The least amount of Browns fans I've seen for a
Steelers Browns game here. I saw none walking into the
stadium like I saw a few hardly any Yeah, I
saw a few, but.

Speaker 15 (52:31):
They're beaten down and they should be.

Speaker 6 (52:33):
Who could blame them.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
It's like pirates fans trying, you know, going to Wrigley
or something like that. You're just not going to see
a lot of them. Although that's a probably a back
comparison because people will go there just for the park.

Speaker 16 (52:44):
And then you get into the you know, the dynamic
of even if you had a franchise quarterback, you'd screw
it up. You wouldn't know what to do with it.
Baker Mayfield, he was in your building. You got rid
of them for a guy that had more cases than
p Diddy. Good job, guys, Well they're paying him. They're
paying eight quarterbacks right now, and they only have three

(53:05):
on the roster.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
A lot of people wrote off Baker Mayfield, and I
keep pointing this out because I wish he would have
been wearing black and gold. How great would it have
been to throw it back in their face and take
their franchise guide that they gave up on and turn
him into a champion.

Speaker 15 (53:22):
I hated him.

Speaker 16 (53:23):
I thought he was a punk when he played for them,
But I agree he's I mean, he's.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
He talked about that. He's like, when you win, you're
not a punk anymore. When you're on a crap organization,
He's like, my behavior has not changed at all. When
he was Jawn at those guys in Seattle, Yeah, at
the Fancy, He's like, I've always done that stuff.

Speaker 6 (53:39):
The difference is I'm on a team that's winning right now.

Speaker 15 (53:41):
Differences You're not on the Browns, You're.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Not on the Browns, or that being said they have
to stop, we have to stop thinking about the Browns,
or rather it just you know, reveling in the shoden
freud of it all.

Speaker 6 (53:53):
Because we got a short week. Dude, We're playing in
two days.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
We two towers two days. Yes, I didn't know.

Speaker 5 (54:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (54:03):
I'm on kickoff kick coverage.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
If you've heard nice Yeah, Well Milesklerbrew went down.

Speaker 15 (54:09):
They needed somebody next man out. I said, sure.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
It's an a fifteen kickoff on Thursday night against the Bengals,
and you can hear all the actions starting at four
o'clock here on DVE, your radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 6 (54:21):
Abbey's got a news update for you.

Speaker 8 (54:23):
News this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Web Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot com. It's going to be
sunshine today with a high of seventy has Matt responded
to the People's Gas Building on Pittsburgh's North Shore after
an employee opened an envelope that contained an unknown substance.
Emergency crews were on scene at the business in the
three hundred block of North Shore Drive. Three hundred employees

(54:44):
sheltered in place while Cruise tested the substance, and public
safety officials said the substance was flower, Oh, baking flower.

Speaker 6 (54:55):
And that was down on the north Shore.

Speaker 9 (54:56):
Yeah, so I shut down the business.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
Day after a steeler gave you know, there were a
bunch of creeps like, oh man, somebody dumped it back.

Speaker 15 (55:03):
We gotta get down there, O get it.

Speaker 6 (55:05):
No, no, I'll test it, don't worry.

Speaker 9 (55:07):
Yeah, so harmless baking flower.

Speaker 8 (55:11):
The substance was again determined to be harmless and the
building was able to resume normal operation.

Speaker 3 (55:17):
You know what that probably was. But I was somebody
trying to sell flour in little baggies during the most
game to drunk. Anybody need a little.

Speaker 16 (55:28):
Did you guys ever hear anybody in Dublin offering drugs?
There was one night we were in Temple Bar. We
were at the actual Temple Bar, and we were leaving
because it was was that the Thursday night, shoulder to shoulder,
no in the bar, yeah, and somebody was like coke, coke,

(55:50):
coke outside and I was like a cola. I mean,
what are you offering me right now? And I just
walked past him and I didn't say anything, but I was.

Speaker 15 (55:59):
Like, who is biting on that.

Speaker 6 (56:03):
Sales pitch international?

Speaker 3 (56:05):
Blow?

Speaker 18 (56:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (56:07):
Did they have a fentanyl issue.

Speaker 15 (56:08):
Over there in the street?

Speaker 3 (56:10):
Probably probably, it's probably everywhere, not that I would have
imbibed in any sense, but.

Speaker 16 (56:15):
Although knowing the like just talking to the Irish people,
it's probably more pure. There's probably not as many additives
in their cocaine.

Speaker 8 (56:25):
Yeah, but it will give you diar diarrhea.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
Like the water.

Speaker 15 (56:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
Yeah, they don't purify the water over there.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
Good to know?

Speaker 5 (56:33):
Good?

Speaker 6 (56:33):
Oh is that wid good to know?

Speaker 9 (56:36):
Why you get the wait?

Speaker 16 (56:38):
But wait, that was just with Guinness, right, apparently okay,
because I was drinking those rock shores and five lanes,
no hangover, no nothing except violent peas.

Speaker 6 (56:51):
Urgent urgent.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
I did hear a guy actually exclaim that. Upon being
he was like, what exactly do? What does this do
with you?

Speaker 9 (57:06):
It's just a volume issue, isn't it?

Speaker 6 (57:08):
I think it is?

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Yeah, And it was like so crowded you would wait
until the last second to have.

Speaker 9 (57:13):
We're having a party here.

Speaker 8 (57:15):
Alec Baldwin says that he and his young brother Steven
are fine after Alec crashed his wife's range rover head
on into a tree.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
Does this do anything? Does guy do anything that's not calamitous?

Speaker 5 (57:29):
No.

Speaker 8 (57:30):
He posted on Instagram that the accident happened yesterday morning
in East Hampton, New York. He says the crash happened
after a garbage truck cut him off and he had
no choice but to crash into the tree. Alex says
he feels bad he crushed his wife's car. Alec Baldwin
said he was in the area for the Hampton's International
Film Festival that wrapped up.

Speaker 16 (57:50):
This is getting ruined the tour. He loved smashing his
wife's car. Have you heard the way that she talks
to him in public?

Speaker 8 (58:00):
You know what it was actually on the heels of
She just had a story that was circulating yesterday where
she was opening up about her elimination from Dancing with
the Stars, and she was saying that she was bullied
off the show.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
Yeah, nobody liked you because you're annoying and pretend to
be like Latino when you were raised in Connecticut. Yes,
and she might have that heritage, but she doesn't have
an accent. And that time she was on the Today
Show and was trying to she was searching for the.

Speaker 15 (58:27):
Word, the English word that she definitely knows onion.

Speaker 8 (58:32):
Yeah, it was like that, Yeah, well that was thing
is like I was reading the article where it's it's
her talking and she was saying that, you know, it
was a really coordinated strategic bullying that she was taken
off the show, and that she was saying, you know
how it's a rampant behavior of people who harass the famous.

(58:57):
But I read it in what I think her accent
is and I actually don't even know what it sounds
like what she talks, but I was going I did.

Speaker 9 (59:05):
Get booed off the show.

Speaker 5 (59:06):
I did.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
That's for sure.

Speaker 9 (59:07):
That is for sure.

Speaker 6 (59:12):
Uh, they take our.

Speaker 9 (59:13):
Lives and they demolishment, don't have any strate behavior.

Speaker 8 (59:18):
I was like going on, like I don't even think
that's what she sounds like, but in my head that is.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
That's why this is when she got busted and everyone's like,
wait a minute, you don't talk like that, Like all
the people that grew up with her were like, you've
never had an accent.

Speaker 14 (59:33):
But I know this from what I was he learned.

Speaker 6 (59:37):
Okay, I met it before. Hold on, please explained what
your I don't know.

Speaker 20 (59:43):
What that one is, but I can tell that my
coff you have to not cut them to tiny because
they're not going to.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
Have the right texture.

Speaker 11 (59:53):
And then I my husband hates.

Speaker 8 (59:58):
About it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Oil.

Speaker 6 (01:00:04):
Did somebody else tell her?

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
Ah?

Speaker 6 (01:00:05):
What's the word?

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Oil?

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
She has a translator with her? Okay, hilarious. He's from Bristol, right, really?
Was that guy from Stanford helping you with your English?

Speaker 9 (01:00:19):
It says that she's a yoga teacher.

Speaker 8 (01:00:21):
I'm assuming that she's probably not currently teaching yoga.

Speaker 9 (01:00:25):
Also, she's forty one. Does she look forty one?

Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
Do you she looks older than forty one to me?

Speaker 7 (01:00:32):
Same?

Speaker 15 (01:00:33):
Oh really, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:00:37):
That's not what She's very very pretty. Yeah, she's pretty,
but she does not look forty one.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
I think it's a lot of stress when you're pretending
to be Spanish.

Speaker 9 (01:00:46):
It takes so much. It takes so much. How do
you lie all the time?

Speaker 15 (01:00:50):
Lying?

Speaker 16 (01:00:51):
Ages you you're married to Alec Baldwin and you're having
kids every other year?

Speaker 9 (01:00:56):
That's true. They do have like fourteen children.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
I don't know who's aging more poorly, Alec Baldwin or
Sean Penn. Like the stress on their face and the
beat red skin of of Cortisol zooming through their body
non stop for decades, like the bags under Alec Baldwin.

Speaker 6 (01:01:17):
This is the guy who's like, you know, he can
afford to take care of himself.

Speaker 9 (01:01:22):
Wait, are they both boozers though.

Speaker 6 (01:01:24):
Well, I think Alec Baldwin is now sober.

Speaker 9 (01:01:27):
Okay, pan a boozer, he.

Speaker 15 (01:01:29):
Definitely legendarily at.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
But both of them smoke like chimneys too, Okay, just
angry cigarettes.

Speaker 9 (01:01:37):
But they are.

Speaker 8 (01:01:38):
You make a good point. They're both like quick to
anger people. And I do think that there's something about
that stress and cortisol and just immediately clench that.

Speaker 9 (01:01:53):
Yeah, get wrinkles that way.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
He drove her car into a tree. He seriously, everything
he does turns into it like a tragedy.

Speaker 9 (01:02:02):
Grips the wheel, just goespot.

Speaker 11 (01:02:04):
Yes, he just.

Speaker 6 (01:02:06):
Backs it up, hits the tree again.

Speaker 15 (01:02:09):
A catalls out of the tree dies. Oh my god, Alex,
I'm very very.

Speaker 9 (01:02:16):
Sorry, Sunshine. Today high as seventy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
I mean, I would imagine Cleveland Brown fans are feeling
the cortisols zooming through their veins. If sports talking Cleveland

It's a button nort with Matthew's wall anchor and waterprooferences.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
I'm sorry you're burning the time out now, Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 6 (01:03:47):
It's not burning if you don't screw up, because that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Yeah, sports, Well, look here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (01:03:59):
What a little the rails started to break again.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Look, some of the commentary is not for moms, okay,
but it leads us to the place where we need
to be, which is determining what Mike Tomlin's motivation was yesterday.
I kind of do feel Mike like he possibly regrets
what he did what he said yesterday, because it it
was like a kink in the armor or chink in

(01:04:23):
the armor, whatever the phrase is.

Speaker 6 (01:04:25):
I'm trying to be diplomatic, you know what I'm saying.
It's just to be right.

Speaker 5 (01:04:31):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:04:32):
No, yes, it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Didn't mean no.

Speaker 5 (01:04:38):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
Is an actual like a dent? Why don't they call
it a dent? It was Look, it showed some vulnerability.

Speaker 15 (01:04:48):
From the when you said kink. I thought that that was.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
But the cake, Well, kink in the armor is also
sounds like something that could be kind of fun.

Speaker 9 (01:04:58):
I haven't been on a day in a Minute.

Speaker 6 (01:05:02):
Sports, something brought to you by Bridgeville.

Speaker 14 (01:05:05):
Joe Flacco needs no endorsement from Mike Tomlin, but the
veteran QB got one anyway. Yesterday, one game into Flacco's
just begun tenure with the Cincinnati Bengals on.

Speaker 18 (01:05:16):
The offensive side.

Speaker 17 (01:05:17):
Certainly, the story is Joe Flacco, and you know it's
reasonable to expect him to be significantly better in week two.
He's been in the stadium with him. They've been in
the stadium with him. They understand his demeanor, how he
deals with circumstances. I would imagine they worked hard, or
we could go on developing time and in cohesion. I'd

(01:05:38):
imagine it's taking a significant step after having done so
under some live football circumstances. I saw him make some
anticipatory throws even last week, and so I thought he
was significantly better as the game were on. And so
certainly we got a full week's work ahead of us
in terms of minimizing a veteran, savvy, talented thrower like him,

(01:06:00):
couple with the eligibles that they have.

Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Yeah, they got eligibles, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
So Flacco historically has been pretty good when you try
to blitz him all right, as the Packers did, and
he can get rid of it now. If Echoles, I'm
not sure what happened with his injury and what's going
on with Slaghs shoulder.

Speaker 14 (01:06:19):
Everybody should be fine except Killer Brew and Austin.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
Okay, if that's the case, Mike Tomlin should not be
that worried about Joe Flacco. In the past, they had
some vulnerabilities at corner and they had trouble Russ and
the passer beyond what TJ Wat could do, especially after
Heismith's got hurt. Like right now, this defense is a
Joe Flacco nightmare.

Speaker 6 (01:06:42):
I think should be should That's my point.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
And I think when he made those comments yesterday comes
off like he's a little scare of it or it's
something he didn't want to have to contend with. You know,
Jake Browning is not a good quarterback at all, you know,
but he he could move around a little bit. Joe
Flacco can't go anywhere. He's going to get rid of
the ball quick, Oh yes he is. And the weird
part is their old line played pretty well and they
had an injury.

Speaker 14 (01:07:05):
They were missing the starter at guard, so they had
to kind of reshuffle it around. Maybe they stumbled onto something.
I don't know, but I was watching that Packers Bengals
game while I was doing the postgame show, and you know,
you're just kind of the TV's on, but you're talking
to people. Watched it again last night. First three drives,
Flacco goes six of eleven for twenty six yards, and

(01:07:27):
some of the misses were like that had no chance.

Speaker 6 (01:07:31):
Some of them were just throwaways.

Speaker 14 (01:07:33):
From late second quarter to the end of the game,
this is a pretty good Green Bay defense. Purportedly, he
went twenty three of thirty four for one hundred and
ninety three yards, two touchdowns, no picks, and he also
completed a two point conversion, two touchdown passes on fourth downs,
and he was getting the ball to Jamar Chase.

Speaker 15 (01:07:53):
He's been good against the Packers this year.

Speaker 6 (01:07:56):
Yeah, yes, he is. Twice. He wasn't that good in
that first game.

Speaker 18 (01:08:00):
It's the Packers.

Speaker 15 (01:08:00):
No, he wasn't.

Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
The game.

Speaker 6 (01:08:03):
But the defense won that game. Blockfield goal won that game.
Anything that the.

Speaker 14 (01:08:10):
Four yard liners. It's got its game. He got a bench, actually, yes,
but he wanted. He looks like he still got it. Uh,
at least, you know, Thursday night. He's probably not going
to be too old to play two days at the stage.

Speaker 6 (01:08:24):
Yeah, oh yeah, two days.

Speaker 18 (01:08:27):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (01:08:28):
What he's doing in Cincinnati is what Mike Tomlin still
apparently has a hard time wrapping his head around.

Speaker 18 (01:08:34):
You know. To be honest, it was shocking to me.

Speaker 17 (01:08:37):
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, Uh, to a division opponent that's hurting in
that area.

Speaker 18 (01:08:52):
But that's just my personal feelings.

Speaker 6 (01:08:53):
And Randy I endorsed everything you said before the break.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (01:08:57):
It's it's a bad look for Tomlin because he should
commenting on how another team is doing its business, you know,
if you want to talk about their players like he
does every Tuesday.

Speaker 6 (01:09:07):
This guy's good. This guy's good, This coach is good.

Speaker 14 (01:09:09):
He gives a twenty minute dissertation on how great the
team they're going to play is each and every time.

Speaker 6 (01:09:14):
Now you're able to play somebody.

Speaker 14 (01:09:17):
But also it makes it sound like he's a little
bit afraid of Joe fleccough. Yeah, because I don't understand
because when they went to La Trobe and he did
his opening press conference. He's I don't have the transcript
right in front of me, but he said words to
the effect. We can line up and match up and
play with anybody. Coverage wise, we have depth and talent
a cornerback to handle, depth and talent of the wide

(01:09:39):
receiving course we're going to face and certainly this one.
If it wasn't the Vikings with Addison and Jefferson, it's
the Bengals with Chase and Higgins.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
I think the reason at the end of that press
conference yesterday when he said, you guys are annoying me
today is because he was upset that he let his
guard down there. I think he was a little a
little disappointed it himself for letting that show.

Speaker 6 (01:10:02):
That's just you know, my armchair psycho analysis.

Speaker 14 (01:10:06):
Bengals don't run the ball well up until last Sunday,
they couldn't protect the quarterback very well. But they have
just absurd combustibility.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Oh, by the way, Aaron Rodgers and DK and Jalen
Warrens should light this team up. I mean the dealer
should put thirty points on him. Yeah, I don't forget
how bad that defense like.

Speaker 16 (01:10:22):
That's the part. We're not talking possibly down Hendrickson, right,
I mean I don't know, I haven't seen.

Speaker 6 (01:10:28):
I mean, we're best case scenario. His back is bad. Well,
it's a hip.

Speaker 14 (01:10:32):
According to the Bengals, his hip and back. They didn't practice.
They didn't practice yesterday, but you know, they formulate what
would have taken place, and he was considered a non
participant with a hip. The guard, the rookie guard Dylan
Fairchild out of Georgia who missed the Packers game, was
considered a full participant also.

Speaker 15 (01:10:53):
But they didn't practice.

Speaker 16 (01:10:55):
No, that's my favorite walks of stuff, imaginary practices.

Speaker 15 (01:10:59):
If they would have, he wouldn't have played.

Speaker 3 (01:11:01):
Yeah, Meryl Hodge coming up after the I'm sorry, Gene's

Chuck Barris our next guest, brought to you by Schneider Downs.
See what big thinking with a personal focus can do
for you. It's Gane Geane doing share to old ladies
and gentlemen from the NFL on CBS. How are you.

Speaker 5 (01:13:37):
I'm doing well? How are you doing? Uh? You know?

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
Gino We beat the Browns you know at home handily.
The Defense looks good. Offense looks like it's starting to
really you know, find another gear.

Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
There's nothing to worry about.

Speaker 15 (01:13:54):
Because we found another lineman.

Speaker 6 (01:13:56):
Second gear. It's another gear.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
And then Thursday night we're right back at it with
another AFC North matchup. You know it's it's it's down
in dirty time right now, Gino.

Speaker 5 (01:14:10):
Yeah, you can feel it, and it's like you can
almost start to feel an identity here a little bit,
you know, a little bit.

Speaker 7 (01:14:17):
It Yeah, did feel like that this week, like you
know what, this defense is nasty.

Speaker 5 (01:14:22):
You know, it's starting to happen. So it's, uh, it's
that time of the year.

Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
It is that time of year.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
And uh yeah, the identity of the defense was a
big part of that game on Sunday. I mean they
were really laying the wood to the Browns. I mean
there were some big time hits.

Speaker 18 (01:14:39):
No question.

Speaker 7 (01:14:40):
AFC North football is like that, you know, and we
always knew that roughing. Like when you go into these matchups,
they just they crank it up. They play an extra
second or two as the whistle's blowing, you know what
I mean, It's like, I know you're down, but I'm
gonna punish you. You got to think about me Tuesday
when they're in the ice bath. I got it this
one with you today, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
You know what, there was actually a play where they
didn't let them go. The Browns, I think kind of
got screwed on one where they blew it dead and
I don't know who it was, they caught it and
he broke free.

Speaker 6 (01:15:10):
Do you know what I'm talking about? The receiver there?
And I was like, I don't think that was forward progress.
I think he was not stopped.

Speaker 5 (01:15:19):
We went back a couple of decades, like in the grass,
in the grass, in the grass.

Speaker 6 (01:15:26):
Everybody thought that rule was in the grass back then.

Speaker 9 (01:15:29):
He's in the grass.

Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Uh, that was a sage bag.

Speaker 19 (01:15:37):
Yeah, grass grass, Yeah yeah, yeah, he's only grass out there,
none of that, for sure, a.

Speaker 6 (01:15:49):
Lot of grass there.

Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
He's in the sand.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
So let me ask you this, what happened on that
first Jabrill Pepper's penalty for the block in the back
or whatever that was that negated a great Keyshawan Williams return.
You think that that was the right gall on him?

Speaker 5 (01:16:09):
Yeah? I do, And I think JJ did a really
good job of explaining it too. You know, you see
that now looks like I'm kind of flying by you
with my arms in the air, you know, half box,
and I don't like a basketball play rebound or something,
which is what they're teaching and would like them to
do when they're when they're in that and that kind
of little bit chase mode side block feel. But then

(01:16:29):
it is the littlement of force with it. And he
showed his arms up high, but then right before he
just couldn't resist the temptation to lean just a little
bit more of the body and give you a little
more of a chuck and as necessary. But I thought
JJ broke it down really well on air, and I actually,
you know, kind of talked to him off. I said,
I said, dude, that was a really good explanation, Like

(01:16:49):
I maybe you need to get the mic in the
white hat and go down there with you know, explain
a little bit more of that. Connie. JJ would be
a great referee in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (01:16:59):
Nobody was going on.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
Everybody quiet, I'm about to say something. You over there
wrote three. Quit it for a minute. I'm about to
make an announcement, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
But you you know, that's interesting point that you have
kind of an interesting vantage point for all these guys
as they start their careers, as they go from playing
into commentating, and some guys have more of a head
start than others. He really seems to be getting better
every game because he's doing most of the Steeler games.

Speaker 6 (01:17:24):
But he really seems well suited to this.

Speaker 5 (01:17:28):
Yeah, you know what Randy, I mean, he is just
so talented and such a great guy too over which
makes things so much better too, you know what I mean,
Like when everything comes together that way, and an Iron
Eagle as a play by play person truly, I think,
you know, maybe the best in the entire business. And
just just being.

Speaker 7 (01:17:47):
Able to do anything at any time and make it
so comfortable, and that dance and that that chemistry is
not something that comes very naturally. It's not a normal progression.
And uh, you know I can speak to that firsthand.

Speaker 5 (01:17:59):
But and you have people of that talent like Iron
and that gets it and any other thing I think
JJ does really well. You know, it's a visual thing.
You're a TV announcer, so laying out, just letting the
game play for a minute or two before you go
ahead and interject, you know, a nugget here and there.
It's it's not an easy thing.

Speaker 7 (01:18:16):
It's and I think he's really on a great start,
and UH is a great asset for CBS, without a doubt.

Speaker 16 (01:18:23):
I think the best adjustment they've made so far is
that JJ doesn't stand next to him anymore. He just
stays seated, and maybe Iron Eagle is just standing the
whole time, because if JJ stands up, he's out of
the frame.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
Billy. You know, we get kind of the dirty seed
when you're off the commercial and I can hear the
producer saying, I we're gonna do it on Tamber when
we come back from commercial, and then and then you
see that first shot, you know, and quite honestly, I
had to take that shot with my iPhone, you know,
and shoot it to im before they came back from commercial.
I'm like, dude, stand up quickly, get on three balls.

(01:19:00):
I'm alone. What you gotta do? That was amazing. And
you look at JJ's hand and you're like, dude, his
hand is bigger than Iron Cheese. This entire body, you
know what I mean, Like like the hit the pause
and take a look like no, that's his entire body
and that's his boss up. Yeah, they're people, you know
what I mean. It's like, oh, my goodness.

Speaker 6 (01:19:22):
It's like Frankenstein standing next to a child Jean after
Kansas City Detroit.

Speaker 14 (01:19:30):
When I watch a Chiefs game moving forward and I
see a yellow flag, suld, I just assume it's on
the other team.

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
Sometimes when you look up at the board, you know,
he used to have that the hoops all the time, right,
the falls were six zero, and you're like, gosh, in
basketball you could find that off the ball, a little
truck or something, you know, get the goosesegg off the board.
But uh, you know you it happens. I mean, you're
you're working each play. Uh. But again, the Chiefs performed
pretty well. The chief didn't play bad this week, Mikey,

(01:20:01):
you know, I mean that looked a little different too.
So we're it's just that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Time zero penalties starting to hit zero penalties.

Speaker 6 (01:20:10):
Will I mean, how unusual is that.

Speaker 5 (01:20:16):
I'll call you on Thursday after I scrubbed the tape rest.
We're gonna take a look at it here in about
five or six hours, I'll give you. I'll shoot you
a quick.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
Sext that that golf touchdown that they called back though
they got that one right right.

Speaker 5 (01:20:35):
They did. I know it firsthand. I missed the play
in Baltimore. In Chicago the day we had a tornado
at Soldier Field, it was an incompleted past, thank goodness.
On that play. It caught me off guard.

Speaker 6 (01:20:46):
A little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:20:46):
It's very unusual. And then the irony was it was
the Philly special play. Hoot it in a lot of ways,
and it's the same play we had in Super Bowl
fifty two except Nick Foles did not get within one
yard of the center, which is if you think about
it in real time, right when the quarterback goes under center,
he is basically, by definition, on the line of scrimmage,

(01:21:07):
so he becomes kind of an on the line of
scrimmage player as it relates to formation, which means he
can't go in motion from the line of scrimmage and
stay in motion.

Speaker 7 (01:21:17):
He would have to step back like a receiver does
when he's on the line, steps back, pause for a second,
then go in motion.

Speaker 5 (01:21:24):
So t quarterbacks and I'll never forget the Philly special.
Like after Foles caught that ball, you start rewinding really quick, like,
oh my gosh, was he within the yard of that
center before he started to slide? He was right and
in that game, understanding that Bullichick knows the rules may
be better than me at times, or did you know
it felt like I remember like pausing and thinking, all right,

(01:21:46):
just give it one thousand and one and then look
over to New England. If Bilichick is beckoning you to
the sideline, you completely missed it up.

Speaker 6 (01:21:54):
He looked over.

Speaker 5 (01:21:54):
He pulled the dread and pen out of his ear.
He started to write on the sheet like they got
us on that one. That it was like the relief
of my lifetime, thinking as he's writing down, then it
must have been. Okay, so we're good, We're good, let's
get let's get really for the extra point, you know,
but yeah, it's a unique play. They got it right.
It took a while, and sometimes those things do take
a little bit of time.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
That crew in the Patriots Saints game really took it
on the chin this weekend. One hundred and sixteen yards
of offense taken off the board, including touchdowns from Drake
May to Diggs and Vrabel was super pissed. Now is it?
Adrian Hill was the Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:22:36):
Yeah? Was the Adrian was the referee game?

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
Now, what do you do Adrian's defense?

Speaker 5 (01:22:42):
He didn't make any of those calls, right, right? He
just is the messenger hit, so shoot him.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
But look, offensive pass interference is a tough one to
get wrong twice in the game. Yeah, so yes, Rabel
understandably upset afterwards? What do you do if you're Adrian
Hill and you're talking your crew afterwards, like how do
you come back from the just like a coach talking
to a team that just got smoked and be like, hey,

(01:23:12):
just put this one behind you, put this one behind you,
and we'll get it right next week.

Speaker 5 (01:23:16):
Right.

Speaker 7 (01:23:17):
Well, you get into really the nuances of what it
means to be an official in this league. And then
in Adrian's position, to be a referee in this league,
you have someone on your crew that's struggling a little bit,
or at least struggled last Sunday, high pressure, making split
second decisions, trusting your instincts and finding out that those
instincts are taking.

Speaker 6 (01:23:36):
You down the wrong path, and then having.

Speaker 5 (01:23:38):
To sit and have kind of you know, I would
have one on ones with an official like that in
a little in a good way, self deprecating in some
ways with myself. Look, I've missed plays, We've missed them before.
You're relatively new. Uh, let's just get back to the basics.

Speaker 7 (01:23:53):
Focus on your widest receiver because that's your position.

Speaker 5 (01:23:56):
Work your key.

Speaker 7 (01:23:57):
Stay with that, digest things, take bread. If somebody comes
to you after a decision was made and wants to
talk to you, they're coming to you for a reason.

Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
So it's not an easy dance. It's a very difficult
and challenging thing to do. It's a human condition too, right,
I mean, so so there is that level that's that's
really what happens Monday through Saturday, guys, you know, I mean,
there is that happens, and it's it is like like
you said, it's it's a coach and a player, it's

(01:24:26):
a brother on a crew. It's the transparency that officials
have to really get as a crew to get better.
And that's really not an easy thing to do in
life sometimes. But you've got to put it on.

Speaker 7 (01:24:37):
The wall and you've got to sit in the room
and you've got to say, look, we can't make this
calumn nowt like breathe through this stuff, and you know,
so it's it's not it's challenging and in their case,
just like players, right, I mean, you've got to get
through the grading system, which is today for them. So
this official is going to see a lot of checkmarks.
Wednesday is a hard day at home. The dog better not.

Speaker 5 (01:24:58):
You know, kind to be on the or something on
Wednesday or Thursday, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:25:02):
And and then you got to get it back and
go back again and face the fire here quicker than
you believe, because the weeks go quick.

Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
So yeah, those are the layers of.

Speaker 7 (01:25:12):
This journey that are challenging, and that's what kind of
you kind of find out whether you can make it
or not.

Speaker 16 (01:25:19):
Jane, back to that Lions Chiefs game just for a second.
How do you deal from an officiating standpoint with the
melee that happened after the game, Because I got to
imagine you got to be careful.

Speaker 15 (01:25:30):
That's like running with the bulls. I mean, you know
you can get trampled in there.

Speaker 5 (01:25:35):
That's why I always was really definitive in clicking the
mic and saying, this is the end of the game.

Speaker 6 (01:25:43):
I'm off the.

Speaker 5 (01:25:48):
I know, hard left here. There's red jerseys and white jerseys.

Alec Baldwin says that he and his young brother Stephen
are fine. After Alec thrashed his wife's Range Rover head
on into a tree, Alex says he builds bad he
crushed his wife's car. Alec Baldwin said he was in
the area for the Hampton's International Film Festival that wrapped
up getting.

Speaker 16 (01:26:51):
Ruined the tour he loved smashing his watch car.

Speaker 15 (01:26:56):
Have you heard the way that she talks to him
in public?

Speaker 8 (01:26:59):
You know what it was actually on the heels of
She just had a story that was circulating yesterday where
she was opening up about her elimination from Dancing with
the Stars, and.

Speaker 9 (01:27:08):
She was saying that she was bullied off the show
and that she was.

Speaker 8 (01:27:13):
Saying, uh, you know how it's a rampant behavior of
people who harass the famous. But I read it in
what I think her accent is and I actually don't
even know what it sounds like what she talks, but
I was.

Speaker 9 (01:27:28):
Going I did get Molyodolf the show I did.

Speaker 6 (01:27:30):
That's for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
That is sure.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (01:27:37):
Yeah she is. Her fake accent is awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Although you know, you should be able to if you
can pull off an accent, you should be able to
just decide to have one one day.

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
Some people change their names. Really, why not change your.

Speaker 15 (01:27:47):
Accent code switching?

Speaker 5 (01:27:50):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:27:50):
Is it doing black voice?

Speaker 9 (01:27:52):
Bla accent?

Speaker 15 (01:27:53):
Doing U? Yeah, doing a Latino voice.

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
But you know, if you're like a white dude just
picking up like uh, if you don't have the heritage, yeah,
then you shouldn't be able to do it. But she's
legitimately she's Spanish. Is she really show me the results?
She she is?

Speaker 15 (01:28:11):
Show me the twenty three and me.

Speaker 6 (01:28:13):
Her name is Hilaria, which is hilarious? Is it though?
Or is it Hillary? Who knows? I guarantee you.

Speaker 3 (01:28:21):
In high school she was known as Hillary and she
had no problem remembering how to say onions.

Speaker 6 (01:28:26):
Just a guess.

Speaker 15 (01:28:28):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:28:29):
I'll tell you what we were talking about. Ho about
Alec Baldwin looks Stephen Baldwin doesn't look a whole lot better.
I don't know what those dudes are doing. Sorry out
here for a baldwe.

Speaker 8 (01:28:37):
Yeah, are there any Baldwins that are like William William?

Speaker 15 (01:28:41):
Is that the one from Sliver.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
Yes, married China Phillips is uh wait, China Phillips. Yeah,
Michelle Phillips daughter China Phillips from Wilson Phillips.

Speaker 6 (01:28:53):
He looks okay, the blonde one from Wilson fe Oh wow.

Speaker 18 (01:28:55):
Yeah, no, she was.

Speaker 15 (01:28:56):
Yeah, that was the right one to marry.

Speaker 8 (01:28:59):
Of the of the choices you've had, she was the
only Phillips, Yeah, because the other ones were the.

Speaker 6 (01:29:05):
Wilson Wilson and then she was the Phillips.

Speaker 5 (01:29:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
So yeah, she was the Phillips head. What are you
go going on over there?

Speaker 8 (01:29:13):
This hour is brought to you by Wind Donation, Sunshine
today and a high of seventy A popular burger Shane
is opening another location in the Pittsburgh region, a couple
of months after Shake Shack announced it was opening in
Ross Park Mall's food Court.

Speaker 9 (01:29:25):
There's another one.

Speaker 8 (01:29:26):
That's coming to Cranberry, So that's gonna be streets of Cranberry.

Speaker 9 (01:29:30):
It's the former site of Hula Hans and that is
now the fifth Shake Shack.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
Well, you know, I'm glad because Cranberry needed this.

Speaker 9 (01:29:39):
I really was worried about them.

Speaker 6 (01:29:41):
Yeah, I have any chains up there, no options at
all up there.

Speaker 9 (01:29:43):
What are they gonna do?

Speaker 6 (01:29:45):
No? No, but this will certainly help things for them.

Speaker 16 (01:29:48):
But don't you think that like the shake Shacks, the
Chick fil A's, like these are the new UNO's and
Hole of Hands, and you know, there's no more restaurant
like I guess TJ. Friday is still up and well
and kicking. I mean I've seen a few of them.

Speaker 6 (01:30:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
Yeah, I think those older chains have kind of died
off mostly. What is I mean other than McDonald's like
the big you know McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King franchises, the
ones that are the of the newer ilk seem to
have all gone by the wayside. Like the more sit down,
fast casual wheels on the chairs places, those seem to

(01:30:25):
all have died off gone.

Speaker 16 (01:30:28):
Yeah, it's all Chick fil a and canes and.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
People dying to get in and out. On this side
of the Mississippi River.

Speaker 16 (01:30:36):
The Chipotles have have come in and taken some of
that money.

Speaker 9 (01:30:40):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:30:43):
I do like Shake Shack, and I also think it's overrated.

Speaker 9 (01:30:47):
I still have not shake shocks.

Speaker 15 (01:30:50):
Oh really you'd like it.

Speaker 6 (01:30:53):
I mean, yeah, good burger, fries, good shakes.

Speaker 15 (01:30:56):
You know it's in the shack.

Speaker 6 (01:30:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:30:58):
I feel like everybody's doing smash Burger now though.

Speaker 6 (01:31:01):
It's a thing. Yeah, the dinner.

Speaker 16 (01:31:03):
A big fan of the Shakeshack smash Burger, big fan
before it came here. I mean I've had it maybe
once or twice here.

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
I've not even had it here. Last time I had
it was in Vegas with you and Joe.

Speaker 16 (01:31:15):
It's tremendous. Yeah, we're real good out in Vegas. They
also have the In and Out Burger too. It's also tremendous.

Speaker 6 (01:31:22):
In and Out's better than Shakeshack.

Speaker 15 (01:31:25):
I like the toasted bund They're all just burgers, all right.

Speaker 8 (01:31:29):
There are sure to be more people saying I want
my MTV in the near future. The world's first twenty
four hour music broadcaster is set to shut down five
of its channels, including MTV Music, MTV Eighties, MTV Nineties, Club,
MTV and MTV Live starting December thirty first of this year.

Speaker 9 (01:31:47):
The outlet notes that.

Speaker 8 (01:31:48):
The flagship channel MTV HD is going to remain on
the air. MTV hasn't commented on this yet, but MTV
first launched in the US in nineteen eighty one the
focus on showing the most popular music videos, and the
first one to air was do you remember.

Speaker 6 (01:32:08):
Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles?

Speaker 9 (01:32:10):
Very good.

Speaker 8 (01:32:12):
MTV Europe launched six years later in nineteen eighty seven,
and by nineteen ninety seven the UK officially got their
own channel as well.

Speaker 3 (01:32:19):
Trevor Horn I think was the name of the guy
who's in that band who went on to become a
big music producer.

Speaker 9 (01:32:24):
Yes, exactly, very good.

Speaker 15 (01:32:26):
Yeah, I mean the VJs used to be a big deal.

Speaker 16 (01:32:29):
They used to be famous, exactly. I couldn't tell you
who is on MTV anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
Mark Goodman, he went to pet Mark Goodman.

Speaker 15 (01:32:37):
Still like no, I mean he's still on MTV.

Speaker 6 (01:32:41):
I don't think most of the ones that are still
alive went to serious radio.

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
You can like hear them on the classical rewine type
channels and stuff, you know. Yeah, yeah, Nina Blackwood, Nina
black jj JJ Johnson was this Scott John Johnson, Downtown,
Julie Brown.

Speaker 9 (01:33:00):
Adam Curry.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
Yeah, I feel like he was waived number two. Alan,
Alan was their one Alan whatever the hell?

Speaker 9 (01:33:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
But then there and then it was like the second
wave of MTV when Kurt Loader came in, who is
like apparently made a deal with the devil because he's ageless.
Do you know how old Kurt Loader is. He's like
eighty five right now, that's crazy.

Speaker 9 (01:33:23):
Five's old.

Speaker 15 (01:33:25):
He's he's definitely up there.

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Yeah, hold on a second. He just had a birthday.
And I remember we were talking about this.

Speaker 8 (01:33:31):
We're like, he's old, but he's like the Waltzer crunk
Kite eighty eight year old.

Speaker 6 (01:33:37):
Oh, I'm so sorry. He looks better than both blud
one brothers for what it's worth.

Speaker 15 (01:33:41):
Well, another ageless wonder on MTV.

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
Bill Bellamy, Oh yeah, Bill, Bill Bellamy always an outstanding
morning show guest. Every time. He's great, he's the best,
nice and he has not aged at all. Hillary her
Hilary of Baldwin, by the way, Yeah, born Hillary and
of course Hayward.

Speaker 6 (01:34:01):
Yeah, shocker, shocker. Her name has an accent ilaria.

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
She is of English, French, Canadian, German, Irish and Slovak
exactly onon. Here's the thing. If she steers into the
skin and goes like super Spanish, I'm all right with it.
Like she needs to have like Flamenco dancers walk her
onto the you know, Dancing with the Stars or whatever

(01:34:29):
show she's on next.

Speaker 6 (01:34:30):
After she got booted from that.

Speaker 3 (01:34:32):
Gee, I wonder why she was bullied out of Dancing
with the Stars.

Speaker 9 (01:34:35):
I can't imagine she down the earth.

Speaker 6 (01:34:38):
She probably wanted to do like a big Spanish thing.

Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
They're like, you're from Connecticut, you're Polish.

Speaker 16 (01:34:46):
I mean, now, I do love it when Chad Hanks
does it and he affects a Jamaican accent. I mean,
that's some of my favorite stuff. It's also kind of
not acceptable anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:34:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
I feel like he's been welcomed in to the like
what's the word for Jamaican patois, Like he's been welcoming
into that community.

Speaker 15 (01:35:08):
He's been invited to the cookout.

Speaker 6 (01:35:10):
I believe so, really, I think so.

Speaker 16 (01:35:15):
I mean he's definitely working now, like he's he's in stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:35:19):
He was in a movie recently.

Speaker 15 (01:35:21):
Yeah, he was on a show too for a second.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
Chet, you know, I like how Tom Hanks is like, na,
Chet's the best.

Speaker 6 (01:35:28):
Yeah, why though?

Speaker 9 (01:35:31):
Yeah, I think that after a while, you're just like that.
It's just jet yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:35:35):
Chat.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
We tried to get him to stop, and he has
been talking like that since he was seven, so there's
nothing we can do.

Speaker 15 (01:35:40):
It's actually our fault. We named him Chet.

Speaker 9 (01:35:43):
He's appropriately named.

Speaker 8 (01:35:45):
That's the first time that, like they knew right away
he was supposed to be named Chet.

Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
I the doctor came out and I'm really sorry you
have a bouncing baby, Chat.

Speaker 8 (01:35:58):
Rush fans lost theirs in a good way when they
heard their favorite band was getting back together for some
reunion shows. It sounds like some of them are losing
their minds in a bad way now that they know
how much tickets cost. According to Alternative Nation, nosebleed seats
are going for more than three hundred dollars, while mid
level seats cost somewhere around three fifty to four hundred dollars.

(01:36:21):
They're also selling premium packages that range from six to
fifty to two five hundred dollars, and those packages aren't
offering much beyond a laminate and other trinkets, plus early
access to the merch boost.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
Steady Lee will yell at you. Are those face value
tickets or are those secondary market?

Speaker 9 (01:36:38):
You know what it doesn't say in this article.

Speaker 3 (01:36:40):
Well, it's if they're selling packages, that would indicate to
me those are face value, those are from Yeah, that
is I mean, it's crazy they would do a money grab.
They're not taking a symphony on the road with them,
which is something we talked about. We thought maybe they
would augment Neil not being there with a bunch of
different musicians, but they're just using the one drummer Anika.

Speaker 6 (01:36:59):
Is that her name Manica? Yeah, So I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (01:37:03):
Why they're going to gouge their fans like this other
than they can.

Speaker 8 (01:37:07):
It's unfortunate, and we have talked about the woes of
the music industry, but Russia is not a band that's
in that position. This is not an up and coming
band that is not making their money off of streams
and therefore has to supplement it with touring and all
that kind of stuff. This would this would be a
little more predatory ticketing.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
Well did you see the rant that Shirley Manson went
on from Garbage the other night on stage?

Speaker 9 (01:37:34):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
She I posted it to my instant stories. She said Hey,
this is the last tour we're doing in America. And
it's not because we don't love the American audiences or
that we can't draw big crowds like the audience she
was performing for when she was talking like this, and.

Speaker 6 (01:37:51):
She just said, it's untenable.

Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
It is impossible to do anything but toward the big cities,
yeah and make any money.

Speaker 6 (01:37:59):
And you can't.

Speaker 3 (01:38:00):
There aren't enough big cities to make enough money because
the entire infrastructure of the music industry is completely eft
and the rich are getting richer and the artists are
getting nothing, and we have to do something about it.
And when I hear those prices from Rush, I always
wonder how much does Live Nation have to do with

(01:38:21):
those prices being where they are.

Speaker 15 (01:38:23):
Probably the majority of it.

Speaker 16 (01:38:24):
That's all I thought about, was that, how are you
even making money now touring unless you goug right?

Speaker 3 (01:38:33):
Yeah, And that's why you see all of these like
VIP experiences being sold in all of those packages, which
the artists don't want to do. I mean they it's
not that they dislike their fans, but they want to
concentrain on the day of show, like it's hard to
do all that it might seem like, oh, well, digging
ditches it hard. Is hard, no doubt, but also traveling
and touring sucks. Nobody likes that. It's really hard lifestyle.

(01:38:57):
And then to put on a face and hang out
with people for an hour and a half before show
and then an hour and a half after a show.

Speaker 6 (01:39:03):
I mean, it's it's it's difficult. They don't want to
do it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:07):
I know, it's like you should be glad you have
fans and all that other stuff, but like they don't
do that because they're like, we love our They do
because they have to make money.

Speaker 8 (01:39:16):
I think that's part of you know, the again, the
premium packages thing is probably where the band is making
its money. And I wish I had the article in
front of me because there was like a while back
and it was like some kind of emo, you know,
punk band that's like mid level that went through ticketing
prices and basically broke it down to what actually they

(01:39:38):
make and it was a very insignificant amount with the
ticket price.

Speaker 2 (01:39:42):
So to Bill's.

Speaker 8 (01:39:43):
Point, you know, with Live Nation, especially because I imagine
with the size of venue that Rush is able to pull,
they own those venues, so they're setting that price with garbage.

Speaker 9 (01:39:55):
You know, I always go back to like what.

Speaker 8 (01:39:57):
The all American rejects are doing, where they are going
into this, We'll just cut out any kind of promoter
and we're just going to book our own tours college style,
where we'll just show up and we're gonna do this ourselves.
And again, they're probably not making the money that they

(01:40:17):
would make if they had the high capacity venue, but
at the same time they get to keep more of
the take. So there's like a part of me that
I always have these maybe naive and idealistic daydreams of
these bands going We'll go to a bunch of smaller

(01:40:38):
venues and do tiny tours and not do these big venues,
and we're just gonna do smaller runs more often instead
of doing the big runs and doing big cities, and like,
if you got a ticket, you got a ticket. Like
that's what we're doing now. I mean, Rage Against the
Machine did a live Nation tour. Yeah it's over, so

(01:41:00):
yeah right, yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:41:05):
Rage did a tour for the Machine, Rage and the Machine, Yeah,
but maybe, I mean the American rejects were just fed
up with the sheets and they were like, let's just
do this ourselves, because when with those big tours, the
amount of people, the amount of hands in that cookie
jar is insane.

Speaker 6 (01:41:25):
They take their merch me crazy.

Speaker 15 (01:41:27):
That's like it makes it makes my soul hurt.

Speaker 16 (01:41:31):
And then just as an artist, like I remember opening
for comedians like Guardell was always a guy who would
stand out front and shake everybody's hand. But there was
also something that was like kind of demoralizing for the
comedian or the artists to sell merch. It's like, dude,
they paid to come see you. Now you're hitting them
before they leave. Like, and I get it, like you're

(01:41:54):
trying to make the extra money and and and I
did it at one point too, but there was always
something that was made me feel icky about it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:01):
Sure, I think if you're a performer like Bruce Springsteen
or somebody like that, where you are known for like
you leave it all on the stage, I think it's
reasonable to expect that it's hard for them to do
VIP things, you know.

Speaker 15 (01:42:15):
What I mean, Like, definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:42:17):
They're really giving you everything they have on stage.

Speaker 6 (01:42:22):
Yeah, and that leaves you kind of an empty vessel.

Speaker 8 (01:42:27):
Listen again, it's fourth wall ish, but there's been times
where I'm leaving a venue after a show, and I
will tell like my bandmates saying, hey, I have to
Irish goodbye.

Speaker 6 (01:42:38):
I'm out of personality.

Speaker 9 (01:42:40):
Yeah, exactly, like I ran out of personality.

Speaker 8 (01:42:42):
And if I have to go back in and tell
everybody goodbye, they're not going to get the best version
of me.

Speaker 9 (01:42:48):
And I would rather leave and then be like, where'd
she go? Then go she's a bitch.

Speaker 3 (01:42:53):
Well that's what I was getting at with they don't
want to need to VIPs. I understand why bands don't
want to do that, and now they have to.

Speaker 9 (01:43:00):
Now they have to.

Speaker 6 (01:43:01):
Now they have to because they have to make money.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
So with Rush, I would imagine that what Rush wants
to make on this tour is less than half of
what these ticket prices are at. I bet Rush is like, hey,
it's gonna cost us X amount and that ends up
being about thirty eight percent of what the ticket price
is and the rest is all Live Nation.

Speaker 6 (01:43:20):
Yeah, that would be my guess.

Speaker 9 (01:43:23):
I remember that. Yes, Live Nation guys said that they're
not expensive enough.

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
The Live Nation guy said we're paying too little for concerts.
I just don't know what people do, Like, what do
you do? How do you get everybody to stop doing
what they're so comfortable doing, which is going on Spotify,
which is just paying too much for the concerts.

Speaker 16 (01:43:45):
Like well, yeah, now we're we created the mess that
we complain about.

Speaker 3 (01:43:51):
Well, it's it has to be a political thing. It
has to be an antitrust labbying enacted. Yeah, which, I
you know, I don't think that's think that's going to
happen anytime soon.

Speaker 16 (01:43:59):
We even just like beyond music, just the big box
stores that we go to, the targets and the walmarts,
put all the mom and pop shops that thing, yeah,
you know, and it's that convenience and the cheaper prices
that we love put out the families that we care about.

Speaker 3 (01:44:17):
Like, did you have a store when you were growing
up where it was like a mom and pop thing
and you knew yeah, all.

Speaker 15 (01:44:23):
The people inside.

Speaker 3 (01:44:25):
Yes, Go tell mister Keller, your dad wants a pack
of merrit one hundreds. Yeah, exactly, Okay.

Speaker 15 (01:44:31):
The pack of smokes with a note from your mom.

Speaker 3 (01:44:34):
Hey, mister Keller, my dad wants pack one hundreds.

Speaker 6 (01:44:37):
Actually I don't think. I don't if they were hundreds,
it might have been.

Speaker 15 (01:44:40):
My mom smoked.

Speaker 16 (01:44:41):
Yeah, there's always crazy to me.

Speaker 6 (01:44:45):

Steelers games.

Speaker 6 (01:45:41):
But light, easy to drink, easy to enjoy, and you.

Speaker 5 (01:45:45):
Played the greatest song in the world for me.

Speaker 1 (01:45:46):
Only if you can dig it let us know your
lunch requests on our socials phone or the talkback.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Button on the iHeartRadio APPP one.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
You picked this songs on the Electric Lunch at noon
on dv E.

Speaker 6 (01:46:01):
This report is sponsored by All States. It's gotta be
a nice day.

Speaker 3 (01:46:04):
Partly cloudy with pizza, sunshine high of seventy one, clear
with just a few clouds tonight dropping down to an
opening was the sixty fifth anniversary of Mas's home run
in the nineteen sixty World Series. Game seven made Mickey mantlecry.
And every year Pirates fans gather at the site of
where Forbes Field used to be to listen to a

(01:46:24):
radio broadcast, so cool rebroadcast off of that Game seven
in front of that part of the wall, yep.

Speaker 6 (01:46:30):
And it's is still there, which is still there, And.

Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
I mean they had several hundred people show up for
that yesterday, which is pretty damn cool. There's a bit
of a sad element to me in that it seems like, well,
that's all you have to celebrate is the past with
this organization right now, But that doesn't discount how cool
of an event I still think that is.

Speaker 14 (01:46:50):
I still think Joe Carter was in Game six right
for Toronto. Yeah, yeah, that's the only walk off Game
seven home run in.

Speaker 15 (01:46:58):
World Series history. That sounds right, Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
I mean, yeah, Game six in nineteen ninety three, they
won eight to six over the Phillies.

Speaker 14 (01:47:10):
I think that's the only other home run that actually
won a World Series right right then and there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):
Yeah, there's been alcs's and NLCS has won by home runs,
but not not Well, it.

Speaker 6 (01:47:19):
Would be similar to celebrating the immaculate Reception.

Speaker 18 (01:47:22):
I mean, it's.

Speaker 14 (01:47:22):
Something to mcmill bill too. It's not just we won,
it's how they did it and who they did it against.
And they'll never do it again. Just let I know
they did it in seventy one and seventy nine.

Speaker 3 (01:47:34):
Those Yeah, every game they lost, they got their asses
kicked in that series.

Speaker 15 (01:47:39):
Oh yeah, every game they won was barely.

Speaker 6 (01:47:41):
Barely never should have happened, but it did. Made Mickey
mintlecrass sports.

Speaker 16 (01:47:46):
I mean, if you look at the joy on the
people's faces as they rushed the field, that that kind
of joy because it's like the first championship here in
the city in the modern era. I know, the Pirates
won it the turn of the century, but that was
really the first major championship with the teams like we
know them now.

Speaker 3 (01:48:07):
Well. Also it inspired one of the coolest sports photographs
of all time, which is the fans watching from the
Tower of Learning, the Cathedral Learning. Yeah, like over their
shoulders looking down onto the field. Love that shot.

Speaker 6 (01:48:20):
Yeah that's pretty bad.

Speaker 16 (01:48:21):
Yeah, they closed all that up, like you there's no
balcony on the Cathedral Learning anymore, did they that you
can access?

Speaker 14 (01:48:29):
I don't think you can walk outside up there. I
haven't been there in a long time. We still always go.
My mom always used to take us to those international
rooms because they were the coolest. Yeah, educational and entertaining
and interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:48:43):
Yeah, and now there's just people waiting around you up
when you go in there.

Speaker 14 (01:48:47):
Been there forever at first. There one time with a
buddy of mine from out a town. This was long
time ago, and the guy said, hey, how do you
get to the basement?

Speaker 6 (01:48:56):
And I said, Tray John Tudor from had it in
you I did.

Speaker 3 (01:49:02):
Mike pursuita getting ready for Steelers Bengals on Thursday night
Thursday Night Football in Cincinnati. It was early eighties, quick
turnaround for Mike Tomlin and company and he was pretty
honery yesterday that he was.

Speaker 14 (01:49:15):
And uh, it might not all have to do with
who's playing quarterback for Cincinnati Sports. That starre brought to
you by Bridgeville Appliance. The Bengals may be on a
four game losing streak, but it's not because they.

Speaker 6 (01:49:26):
Lack dynamic, high end wide receivers.

Speaker 14 (01:49:30):
Fortunately for the Steelers, they've kept their defensive back feathers
numbered for just such an emergency.

Speaker 17 (01:49:36):
Absolutely, you better have some corners taller than me if
you're dealing with the likes of t Higgins and people
like that, and so certainly, and that's something that we
talk about as a collective of the intimacy of divisional relationships.
It's just it's just a component of the game. You

(01:49:57):
you you better stack up good against those that you
compete against, uh, in a lot of ways. And so
I'm sure people acquire secondary people to match up with
that collective. Baltimore took a first round corner and Nate
Wiggins the other year. I'm sure with that group in mind,
the Bengals have taken right tackles in recent years. I'm

(01:50:18):
sure to minimize TJ's impact in that relationship. That's divisional play.
That's what makes it so challenging and so so exciting.

Speaker 14 (01:50:29):
Jamar Chase pretty good too, a SuPAR as t. Higgins
is the taller of the two. But Joe Flacco figured
out pretty quickly upon his arrival in Cincinnati. He just
throw those guys general direction and they got a chance
at making a play. But there was also some timing
stuff and some anticipation stuff. That's uh, that's going to
be a handful.

Speaker 5 (01:50:50):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (01:50:51):
Tomlin respects Flaco's talent. What he can't wrap his head
around is what the hell is Flacco doing in Cincinnati
and not Cleveland in the first place.

Speaker 18 (01:51:01):
You know, to be honest, it was shocking to me.

Speaker 17 (01:51:04):
Andrew Berry 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.

Speaker 18 (01:51:19):
But that's just my personal feelings.

Speaker 3 (01:51:21):
I mean, we've gone over it this morning. You guys
liked it. Abby, you and Bill both. You liked that
he teed off on Andrew Berry in the same way.

Speaker 8 (01:51:29):
That like, there's just things about Mike Tomlin being a
little more fiery that have always resonated with me. So
I guess that, like anytime that maybe we get outside
of a tomlinism, I'm like, yes, show me that.

Speaker 16 (01:51:41):
Yeah, it resonated on an authenticity level. I don't know
if it was a great look for him as a
coach to be calling out another organization like that, but
since one have we cared about the Brons.

Speaker 3 (01:51:53):
Yeah, I feel that as well, But it did seem
to be like a window into his frustration and consternation
that has been kicked up due to him having to
deal with Joe Flacco on Thursday night now, Mike.

Speaker 14 (01:52:05):
And you know, in the wake of his comments about
I told the guys when we played the Colts last year,
keep Anthony Richardson in the game because I don't want
to play veteran savvy Joe Flacco.

Speaker 16 (01:52:15):
Because we know how much Tomlin loves a veteran quarterback.
He's got the veteran Yeah, seriously, he loves the old guys.

Speaker 14 (01:52:26):
He looked good in that second half, but the problem
was to Bill's bolt last hour. Every time the Bengals
scored to get back in the game, that gave up
a score so the Packers could retake control and then
they got it down to sixth with just over two
minutes left, they had chance to get the ball back,
and they couldn't stop third and nine.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
Well, that's kind of what I'm resting on here and
relying on banking that Mike Tomlin knows that even if
he can find Jamar Chase and t Higgins a couple
of times, Joe Flacco isn't gonna work quick enough that
you can't. It's like guys that steal your jokes, Bill.
You can just write them quicker than they can steal them. Right,
score more often than they are going to score, and

(01:53:04):
you win the game. They should not be able to
stop the stealers, who should be able to go on long,
prolonged drives, running the ball and eating up the clock,
win the time of possession.

Speaker 6 (01:53:15):
Tomlin loves a one score game. We all know that.

Speaker 3 (01:53:17):
But maybe this is one where you try to knock
it in the end zone a few more times than
the other guy.

Speaker 16 (01:53:23):
And don't forget last year, this was the zenith of
our excitement with the Russell Wilson experiment. I mean, they
scored what thirty seven points? It's true they went off.

Speaker 14 (01:53:32):
They went in the forties and yeah, thirty they scored
a ton, Yeah, and then they and then the game
here in Pittsburgh was off ugly, disgusting, but hey, don't worry.
What went the next four Yeah, Flacco did have one
of the touchdown drives was seventeen plays seventy eight yards
in ten minutes and fourteen seconds. Speaking of holding the ball,

(01:53:57):
they're probably they're probably going to try to hold it
a little bit too, because they probably know their defense stakes.

Speaker 3 (01:54:04):
Meryl Hodge will speak to that and other things when
we come back. Abbey Has You Do is coming up
at the top of the hour.

Speaker 8 (01:54:08):

good TV shows, but that doesn't stop producers from trying anyway.

Meryl Hodge Shood, Morning, Merril. What's going on?

Speaker 7 (01:55:01):
Well, the sun is up and it's a beautiful day.
And your Pittsburgh Stellars are getting better.

Speaker 6 (01:55:05):
Yes, indeed they are, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:55:06):
And it was a real treat to see you on
the field as part of the Crucial Catch promotion this
past weekend. And I love seeing you run out there
with your Find a Way hat, And that had to
be pretty special for you. As many times as you've
been on that field, it probably never gets old to
run out after they say your name and hear the
ovation of sixty five thousand Steeler fans.

Speaker 7 (01:55:26):
Can I tell you something like, I've done that before
and I'd never had an.

Speaker 5 (01:55:32):
Experience like that.

Speaker 7 (01:55:33):
Honestly, when I got out there, I was like, oh
my gosh, I was like I was taken back.

Speaker 5 (01:55:37):
Actually it was.

Speaker 7 (01:55:40):
I was almost, honestly, so I start crying, be honest
with you, I was like, holy wow, this is unbelievable.
I looked up in those stands. I'm like, man, that's
what makes it the city so great.

Speaker 5 (01:55:49):
He's fans so great.

Speaker 7 (01:55:50):
It's just all those cows going in Unison and I
went up to arts Box after for a little bit
and I was just like, man, I almost forgot what
it's like to fee on it. I know, that was
absolutely incredible.

Speaker 6 (01:56:04):
Yeah, well you deserve it, you know you.

Speaker 3 (01:56:06):
I mean you embody the spirit of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah,
and all the things we like about the organization, the
attitude and you know, find a way and everything you've
done in the wake of your cancer diagnosis then beating
it and helping others deal with it. I mean, that
is some exemplary stuff, man. And this town loves the

(01:56:28):
people who live up to their billing as all time
great Pittsburgh Steelers. And Meryl number thirty three, Like I
always say, number thirty three in your program, number one
in your heart, Meryl, How I love.

Speaker 5 (01:56:40):
You, brother.

Speaker 7 (01:56:41):
Honestly, I'm just going to close it with this it
was that's I love about this city, honestly, I and
the fans and the people are.

Speaker 5 (01:56:48):
Oh tell my wife, I angelize, like you know what.

Speaker 7 (01:56:51):
I I don't know why, but this city like just
embraced me.

Speaker 6 (01:57:00):
And I just and I'm so great for that.

Speaker 7 (01:57:02):
I just the people there are incredible. And I actually,
you know, to add to that, when SPNI worked with
all these other players that you know, played for other organizations,
they would always say this, and I never say while playing,
but now I can. But then the steed of fans
are They're different, man. You know what they're different than
because you just said it, Randy Ashley, is they appreciate,
They demand you give your very best. Yes, they want

(01:57:25):
to win a championship, but they at least demand that.
And if you at least do that, then they're okay
with that. It's when you don't give them your very
best and you're not doing everything you can that they
have a problem with it. And I go, they know
the difference that makes them special?

Speaker 6 (01:57:39):
Yeah, well you deserve it.

Speaker 3 (01:57:40):
And it was great. I love seeing all those terrible
towels flying for you. It was really you know, they
did it at the perfect time and the crowd went nuts.
That was great. Now there was plenty of go nuts
about from on the field play as well.

Speaker 6 (01:57:52):
Look like they are.

Speaker 3 (01:57:53):
They're getting better in all the areas that they needed to. Now,
given that this was a Browns offense that wasn't exactly
you know, Patrick Mahomes in his heyday or anything like that.

Speaker 6 (01:58:04):
Uh, you know, you take it with a grain of salt.

Speaker 3 (01:58:06):
But Meryl, the defensive line pressure, the edge rushing that
was going on there, and then you know the stuff
you were getting in the secondary. You had to be
pretty happy with the way the defense showed up on Sunday.

Speaker 7 (01:58:17):
Well, you know, to say, you know, Toad, what you
just said there, and that's not what you should have done.
That's what you expect when they have a guy that's
limited to that quarterback. Their offense is really not you know,
explosive or dynamic. That's how you should handle an offense
like that. So it's actually a real credit to them
and how they play. But their defensive line is like

(01:58:39):
completely different than it was week.

Speaker 5 (01:58:41):
One, Week two, week week three.

Speaker 7 (01:58:43):
It is so much better up front, you know, now
their healthy rotation on the outside. They just got relentless
pressure that they can bring, you know, and you know, schematically,
I think they they kind of were forced to do
some things schematically because they were struggling, but they do
them really well and it's a problem for other teams.
And so now they're becoming a dad. So they got

(01:59:04):
a bunch of phases that they can add to an
opponent that's going to be a problem. You know, from
protection aspect, it's not just lining up and say, okay, TJ. Watkie,
they're gonna create the sack er. He's an occupy three
people and then somebody else canna make sack. Now they
can do some things schematically to free him up, to
get other people matched up, and they're going.

Speaker 5 (01:59:25):
In the right direction.

Speaker 7 (01:59:26):
I will say this, they were absolutely dominant, and they
were supposed to be dominant because they were better than
those guys upfront in that area.

Speaker 3 (01:59:32):
Well, how what makes her big so special in your estimation?

Speaker 5 (01:59:36):
Well, you know, I.

Speaker 7 (01:59:37):
Studied him in Wisconsin, and you know, actually he was
one of the guys that was on my list of
players to look at, and I was like, you know,
the first guy he kind of minded.

Speaker 5 (01:59:45):
Me of was Chad Brown.

Speaker 7 (01:59:47):
Now, just because he played inside linebacker sometimes too in
college and So I always like a guy who has versatility,
because that's not easy. Like people who play outside linebacker
sometimes can't play inside and vice versa.

Speaker 5 (01:59:59):
And he could do both. But he has an awesome motor.
He's got great motor.

Speaker 7 (02:00:05):
And then he's developing too as a player, so now
you know he's just if you've watched him when he
was a rookie versus where he is now, just in
his development. He's better with his hands. He's really quick
to see. That's always if you have to stand in
the line of skill sets and one is speed, the
other's quickness, always get in the quickness line because that

(02:00:25):
is a superior skill set. If you've had that in
football than speed. Now if well, if you get both,
and you're really lucky. But he has great quickness his hands,
and he has great instincts you know too. He just
has a real knack for how he rushes the quarterback.
But and I love his motor. He is relentless, and
you got to have that type of guy. And when

(02:00:47):
you do have that type of guy, it's contagious.

Speaker 3 (02:00:50):
Now Flacco at quarterback for the Bengals. Mike Tomlin expressed
his dismay over Cleveland jettising him down to the bottom
of the state. There within the vision said, this is
a guy you invested in to become your starting quarterback
to kick off the season, and you trade him in
the division. Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than
I am. Didn't make any sense to him. I think

(02:01:13):
this is because they would much rather face Jake Browning.
But how much more of a threat is Joe Flacco?

Speaker 6 (02:01:20):
Do you think at this point.

Speaker 7 (02:01:22):
Just a little bit, you know, just based on what
they did in Green Bay. Well, here's I'm gonna back up.
You know, I don't know what Cincinnati's thinking. I'm awesome,
I understand where their their talent lies. But there's still
a way you have to win in this league, you know.
And if they actually call it, plays like Joe Burrow
is still playing there, Like I honestly think that they
think he's.

Speaker 5 (02:01:42):
Still on the field, because I'm.

Speaker 7 (02:01:43):
Like, honestly, I'm watching them, I'm like, Okay, they have
not done anything different. They're like they think he's still
out there. That's terrible. I mean, you can't play like that.
Joe Flacco can't play like that. They needed to like
button down, bring listen.

Speaker 18 (02:02:01):
I remember when the New.

Speaker 7 (02:02:01):
England Patriots would fall apart, or they'd lose two.

Speaker 5 (02:02:03):
In a row.

Speaker 7 (02:02:04):
I mean, they would go right back into the state recovery.
And you know what they did with the greatest quarterback
ever two tight ends. I formation, run the football, run
the football, run the football, run action off of that,
run action off of that. They weren't having five wide receivers,
spread formation, throwing the ball all over the face place.
I just don't know what they're doing from a play

(02:02:25):
call perspective now. Instead that's the favorite everybody who plays them,
Joe Flackley. If you looking against Green Bay, it looked
just like Dylan Gabriels game plan.

Speaker 5 (02:02:36):
You know, it's very limited. You know, they worked half
the field.

Speaker 7 (02:02:38):
They did, you know, max protection and try to get
two guys open.

Speaker 5 (02:02:43):
And they got dynamic players. Everybody knows that.

Speaker 7 (02:02:45):
But you know, when you're limited from the guy who
pulls the trigger, you know, I don't care how much
talent you have there, you know, it's irrelevant at that point.
They did run the ball a tad bit more and
better in the second half, and that's actually what kind
of got him back in the game. And I expect
to be a little better on Thursday, but not much.
There's only so much that you can ask him to

(02:03:08):
do from a player perspective that you have a chance
at being successful. So they'll still be limited. And they
got problems with their tackles. Got a real problem with
both tackles. And that's that's we're gonna have to occupy
people for our people more than they want. So if
they're in a bad.

Speaker 3 (02:03:29):
Spot, well, Steelers traditionally entered Mike Tomlin not so great
on Thursday night football. Maybe that'll bide well for Cincinnati.
But one team seems to be the trajectory's going one
way and the other.

Speaker 6 (02:03:41):
One's looking over there saying, what do you want from me?

Speaker 3 (02:03:43):
The Bengals are dropping precipitously, I think right now. Even
you know there are only so many jump balls you
can throw up. That doesn't work all the time for you.

Speaker 5 (02:03:52):
You know you're completely right, You are completely right.

Speaker 3 (02:03:57):
Marylands brought to by Castle Rock Hormone Health in South Hills,
Key this morning.

Speaker 6 (02:04:01):
Meryl.

Speaker 3 (02:04:02):
It's always a pleasure and once again great seeing you
out there this weekend, and glad that you got to
feel the love from the Steeler nation.

Speaker 7 (02:04:09):
Well, thank you, love the Steelers and love TB I'm
a great big guys.

Speaker 3 (02:04:13):
All right, love you brother.

Speaker 5 (02:04:14):
We'll see.

Speaker 3 (02:04:14):
That's Meryl Hodge here on the DV Morning to Billy
Gardell Live from Los Angeles.

Speaker 6 (02:04:18):
Next, Meryl Hodge here. I faced a lot in my life.

Speaker 7 (02:04:21):
Here's one thing I'm not done doing, living with string,
energy and purpose.

Speaker 6 (02:04:25):
That's why I'm teaming up with Castle Rock Hormone Health
in the back of his car.

Speaker 3 (02:04:28):
Back in the day, you know, do you guys remember
that it was a thing where people would put like
a bunch of different baseball capsh signified the breadth of
your personality.

Speaker 6 (02:04:40):
I guess I don't know.

Speaker 25 (02:04:41):
I wanted to stack like really tightly folded gens like
at the department store on there, just to confront people
with the hats, like you got clothes, I got closed
if we all I thought that was where we put clothes.

Speaker 6 (02:04:52):
Now, socks, I have socks.

Speaker 3 (02:04:55):
Those are decorative, don't touch.

Speaker 8 (02:04:57):
Yeah, it's uh, it's interesting whenever somebody chooses to decorate,
you know, their car with a lot of I'm you know,
sometimes I'm wary. Sometimes my child will see, like, you know,
an adult with their car.

Speaker 9 (02:05:09):
That's covered in anime and hello, Kitty. She's like, hey, look,
it's a Hello Kitty car.

Speaker 8 (02:05:13):
And I'm like, if you ever see an adult with
Hello Kitty all over their car, you go nowhere near
that car.

Speaker 2 (02:05:18):
Randy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (02:05:22):
Bailey Gardella is joining us live from Los Angeles, Calia
this morning. Now, the reason we started talking about that
conversation about the hat museum that my dad used to
have in his car was because that jeep owners across
the country have ducks, little duckies, duckies.

Speaker 11 (02:05:37):
I've been saying that let's let's stop.

Speaker 6 (02:05:40):
Then, well, what is it? The bottom of it?

Speaker 3 (02:05:45):
We got to the bottom of it. It didn't didn't
take a lot of investigation. There's a Facebook page that started.
There was a woman who started this movement maybe ten
years ago or maybe not quite that long ago, because
she was.

Speaker 6 (02:05:57):
Having a bad day one day.

Speaker 3 (02:05:59):
Somebody had basically like you know, confronted her and it's like,
you know, just one of those road rage things, and
she was upset, and so she decided that she was
going to pay forward goodwill and she put a little
ducky on another jeep that she saw next to hers,
and some big burly guy was in the jeep and
he got out and she probably expected him to be,

(02:06:19):
you know, as harascable as the last person, and instead
he was like, that's adorable. What does that mean? And
so she started a Facebook page about it, and then
it just took off, and now all of these jeep
owners have rows of ducks in their car.

Speaker 11 (02:06:32):
I've seen it. I've seen it in action. I've seen
people with like thirty of them on their dashboards. All right, whatever, man,
whatever's making anybody feel good today, I think we should
probably hold h.

Speaker 3 (02:06:42):
Yeah, dude, the guy from Grandpa's Candy down in Cannonsburg,
he put huge ducks all over Cannonsburg, on the roofs
of everything in downtown Cannonsburg. So when you drive through Cannonsburg,
now you know that huge inflatable duc ticket. Yeah, but
miniature versions of that that are like fifteen feet high
are on top of all of the buildings right now,
all the buildings.

Speaker 11 (02:07:02):
Yeah, when they're shifting through history in about seventy five
years and they're going what was it that took them down,
they're gonna go, well, it was this stupid phone. Took
them out of art, took them out of music, took
their attention span, took their thought process, took their memory,
took their kindness, took everything.

Speaker 6 (02:07:21):
But look, somebody left us stop.

Speaker 11 (02:07:24):
I did be a nice little thing.

Speaker 3 (02:07:27):
I thought, you're gonna say, the story would go what
took them down?

Speaker 6 (02:07:29):
And you're gonna go the docs.

Speaker 3 (02:07:33):
Ducks got him.

Speaker 6 (02:07:34):
They came obsessed with ducks. The next thing, you know,
it's all they could.

Speaker 3 (02:07:37):
Talk about was you can take about all their energy
went into dock.

Speaker 15 (02:07:41):
They weren't and docked themselves.

Speaker 11 (02:07:43):
They docked they did they trade them?

Speaker 18 (02:07:49):
Like I know that.

Speaker 16 (02:07:50):
I've seen the lineup that goes clear across the dash.

Speaker 6 (02:07:54):
Did they ever trade?

Speaker 9 (02:07:55):
I think they did.

Speaker 6 (02:07:56):
That's the whole deal. Oh, that is the whole thing.

Speaker 11 (02:07:58):
My sheet would not allow that though, because I would
have to have ducks in order of size. I would
have to have them grouped together by color. I wouldn't
be able to manage all that. I couldn't just throw
random ducks that we need order. I couldn't have ducks
all where we know.

Speaker 3 (02:08:16):
I dried my car too much like a Formula one
ducks rolling all over the place like I don't know
how much sticky do.

Speaker 11 (02:08:24):
You got to make them? Yeah? Something will happen. I
spilled my coffee, I'll swerve one of them ducks will
get under my accelerator pedal and then my brake pedal.
And that's a Columbo episode. I'm going off. It's impossible
with me. Where did you get those ducks? I've been

(02:08:47):
looking for one for my foot dollars.

Speaker 6 (02:08:51):
Where do you get those little ducks?

Speaker 3 (02:08:53):
That's the weird thing is that like they kind of
sell them in chosky stores and all over the place. Yeah,
but like you know, obviously Jeep, knowing this is happening,
you can you can buy them in truck stops and
everywhere else. And it's I don't know if they're all
like separate like brand names or something. I'm sure that
there's probably some like Chinese ducks that you don't want
in there because they're made with toxic materials. It's just

(02:09:15):
something to consider, you know what, like a toddler in
your car.

Speaker 15 (02:09:22):
Those docks are straight from Wu Hon. Don't get those.

Speaker 6 (02:09:27):
Famously the dead touch Him ducks. They got disease.

Speaker 3 (02:09:31):
Yeah, that's the cran line from the Always Show.

Speaker 11 (02:09:34):
Yeah and now and now for two hours from now,
there'll be a couple of Instagrams and some kid talking
into a dumb furry mic that's an inch wide and
inch from his face, talking about the duck conspiracy. And
then some nuts are going to follow that because we're
completely uneducated anymore. And then this takes us stim that's it.

(02:09:55):
We're not.

Speaker 5 (02:09:57):
Right now.

Speaker 3 (02:09:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:09:59):
I can't. I can't even look. I can you touch
one thing? You're done for I looked at a UFO thing.
Everybody's the UFOs. You're all coming to a one thirty
five's of spaceship or what I listen, folks, Okay, let
me clear up the alien thing for you. Okay, they're
not coming here, all right, They're leaving. They look at

(02:10:23):
her as the Florida of the universe. It's fun to
go for a while, but that it's a little dangerous.
We're just gonna get our stuff and go.

Speaker 6 (02:10:32):
They're waiting on their ruber. There's horror.

Speaker 11 (02:10:38):
Yeah, there's horrible tales like they go, like you hear
what happened to Freddy went down there to give him
the cure to cancer? What did they do?

Speaker 5 (02:10:43):
What?

Speaker 11 (02:10:44):
I got at him? And they painted him? He's on
a putt pudcorse. Something we can't talk to those people,
they're barbarians.

Speaker 6 (02:10:54):
They're staring at ducks.

Speaker 3 (02:10:55):
They're screwed.

Speaker 11 (02:10:57):
Yeah, they got ducks everywhere in the.

Speaker 15 (02:11:00):
Under the spaceship, across theboard.

Speaker 6 (02:11:06):
That's the one thing they liked.

Speaker 3 (02:11:07):
I'll tell you one good thing they do have going
on Gork nice ducks.

Speaker 11 (02:11:10):
They got nice ducking up. I'm gonna ask him if
I can go my nervous system can't that this world
no more? I'll beat a comic on the spaceship on
the lounge. Where are you from?

Speaker 5 (02:11:22):
Universe?

Speaker 11 (02:11:23):
You're from? I was in Mars last week. Let me
tell you.

Speaker 6 (02:11:31):
How do you guys meet telepathy?

Speaker 15 (02:11:34):
That's cool.

Speaker 11 (02:11:37):
He shut the light off.

Speaker 6 (02:11:40):
He's always giving you the light. He just puld his
finger up. You ran the finger twice last week.

Speaker 16 (02:11:48):
We gotta tell you, oh well.

Speaker 3 (02:11:55):
Well look, you know, even the Steelers wind didn't get
you in the And then, you know, out of your
cuistential funk, you had to be a little bit happy
about smacking the Browns down last Sunday.

Speaker 11 (02:12:05):
Yeah, you know, it always feels good to beat the Browns,
you know, you know, I still I'm still not convinced
just yet, but the defense is starting to come together.
Offensive line look pretty good. I like the fact that
gain Well and Warren are a great they're becoming a
great one two punch and uh, you know again, I'm

(02:12:29):
just very cautiously optimistic. That's where I'm staying good. You know,
let's think around the right. Around Thanksgiving, I'll put my
official stamp on whether I think we've got something he reserved.

Speaker 3 (02:12:43):
Yeah, the right to change your.

Speaker 6 (02:12:44):
Mind here, Yes, I say.

Speaker 11 (02:12:46):
Thanksgiving is when you really know, all right, we're either
headed in the right direction and there's hope in the
blast furnace, or we stink.

Speaker 6 (02:12:56):
They're second seated in the right now. You know this.

Speaker 3 (02:13:00):
The Colts at five and one and the Steelers at
four and one, and neither one of those teams I
think are like, you know, best of the batch caliber.

Speaker 11 (02:13:07):
Yet well, just like I said, the league is so weird,
and you could tell by my gambling picks this year
that nothing makes sense. But again, we beat Carson Wentz,
we beat the Jets, we beat New England before it
had its moment with Buffalo, so uh, and we beat

(02:13:28):
clear I don't I don't know yet, you know, Jerry's
still out.

Speaker 16 (02:13:32):
I think like this when whenever anybody was trying to
have them toot their own horn. Deshaun Elliott shot all
that down and he said, hey man, last year, we
were we were running hot, we were flying high, and
then we crapped the bed.

Speaker 6 (02:13:48):
He literally said that.

Speaker 11 (02:13:50):
And that's what happened. We were beautiful until December and
we faced some heavy caliber teams and then you know,
Russell Wilson just made a mess all over the field.
Not saying it politely, but yeah, so what might just
I'm cautiously optimistic. You know, we're in October.

Speaker 6 (02:14:09):
Abby's got a quick news update for you right now.
What's going on?

Speaker 8 (02:14:12):
Abby, Hi, Billy news. This hour is brought to you
by Better Call Side Sunshine. Today, I have seventy We
were kind of talking about toys early this hour, and
I'm gonna stick with that because turning toys.

Speaker 11 (02:14:24):
Toys for the young listeners, are physical objects that you
could go and play with and you would engage what
was called your imagination and then that nothing else does
and it actually brings you good.

Speaker 19 (02:14:40):
Billy.

Speaker 9 (02:14:40):
Yesterday, my child.

Speaker 8 (02:14:44):
There, my child did not have school yesterday, Billy, and
I was in my mind because there was a lot
of and well, and.

Speaker 15 (02:14:54):
They want the iPad, they want the roeblocks.

Speaker 9 (02:14:56):
It's not even that.

Speaker 8 (02:14:57):
It was that and Bill and you have always come
to me from the future. She was she expected an
itinerary from me.

Speaker 5 (02:15:05):
I got.

Speaker 9 (02:15:06):
She was like, she said, do we have plans today?
And I said, you do not have plans today.

Speaker 8 (02:15:12):
I have work. I will be working. And she said,
what do you want me to do? And I said, literally,
anything that you want. Look at this house, like, do
anything that you want. She said, why have to build
a bear gift card? And I went, do you have
a car? How are you gonna use that?

Speaker 9 (02:15:28):
Like, what do you want to do?

Speaker 3 (02:15:29):
I'm like, dude, I'm like, it looks like you're.

Speaker 8 (02:15:32):
In pajamas to me, put clothes on and go knock
on some doors.

Speaker 9 (02:15:36):
I don't care what you do, just do something like.
But it was the same thing. I was like, you
have toys? Why do you have toys?

Speaker 5 (02:15:44):
Like?

Speaker 2 (02:15:44):
I don't understand.

Speaker 9 (02:15:45):
I told Andy. I was full Pittsburgh Dad. I was
losing my mind.

Speaker 11 (02:15:50):
That's right, play with your toys.

Speaker 9 (02:15:52):
Play with your toys.

Speaker 3 (02:15:53):
Why do you have them?

Speaker 5 (02:15:55):
All?

Speaker 7 (02:15:55):
Right?

Speaker 8 (02:15:55):
So, turning toys and games into fictional properties is tricky
because sometimes times, uh, you get Barbie, but it'll be
interesting to see how this one turns out. There is
a live action series in the works that is based
on Mattel's Magic eight Ball, and it is being developed
and directed by m Night Shamalan.

Speaker 11 (02:16:16):
What I don't I can see that he's gonna just
make it all spooky.

Speaker 9 (02:16:22):
It's spooky, apparently, you know what.

Speaker 11 (02:16:26):
They should have a Pittsburgh spelled eight ball. So when
you shake it up and you ask you a question,
if she asks you what to do, it comes up,
A coolie, have.

Speaker 15 (02:16:45):
A cool cool.

Speaker 3 (02:16:47):
Cook?

Speaker 6 (02:16:51):
What's wrong with you?

Speaker 11 (02:16:52):
And then if I shake it up, he's serious, Randy,
shake you. Some fact that no one's ever heard comes up,
and it's about a paragraph long.

Speaker 6 (02:17:04):
Useless.

Speaker 3 (02:17:06):
He knows that useless information.

Speaker 11 (02:17:10):
Fine toys, man, Fine, fine, that's that's.

Speaker 6 (02:17:13):
Fine, fine, fine.

Speaker 11 (02:17:15):
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.

Speaker 5 (02:17:24):
Man.

Speaker 11 (02:17:24):
You know I love toys. You know what I still
got to I bought a bunch of silly things out here,
and I kept a few from Will's childhood, like I
got to layout of our most important hot wheels. There's
six of them. There's the DeLorean from Back to the Future,
there's the there's the original James Bond asked and Martin

(02:17:45):
the sixties Batmobile, the Keaton Batmobile, the Walk five. You know,
I gotta have little reminders of those magical times.

Speaker 5 (02:17:53):
You do.

Speaker 8 (02:17:54):
Actually, hot Wheels, that's actually another toy that they are
in development to make a show from. Like Mattel has
fifteen or more of their properties, if you will, that
are being developed for big or small screen debuts, and
hot Wheels is one of them.

Speaker 11 (02:18:14):
When we were playing with our hot wheels on Harrison Avenue,
there was a great little dirt patch by this big
tree that's on the street, and that's where we would
dig our roads and you know, do our inventory. But
I always had one hot wheel I would not put
in the dirt. I think I knew I was a
car nut back then. But there's a there's a hot
wheel called the Roger Dodger that's got a big blower

(02:18:36):
on the hood and it's a big seventies hot rod.
And I would not pull that out of the box
to go. That one never went in the dirt. I
didn't want no dirt on it. That was my show car.
That was my That was the house car, because that's
that's kitchen floor only, that's linoleum or nothing.

Speaker 3 (02:18:55):
Dude, do you know how much that's going for right
now online? Vintaged hot Deel Redline Roger Dodger in pristine
condition two hundred and ninety five dollars.

Speaker 11 (02:19:08):
Wow, I have three of them, you can three. I
got a purple one, I got a black one, and
I got the gold reissue signed by Jay Leno.

Speaker 6 (02:19:19):
Wow, dude, A.

Speaker 11 (02:19:23):
Bit of a you know.

Speaker 3 (02:19:24):
It's a plus. It's plumb colored and dude, a doc.
There's some that are bank there's there's some that are
banged up, and those are still going for eighty five,
like the paint is off of them and stuff, you know.

Speaker 11 (02:19:36):
But I got on one. Will will send me this? Uh,
this this cat on YouTube who literally restores hot wheels
like they look like they're in the washing machine and
bang gun and this guy like in speed to paint
breaks breaks, it takes them the whole thing, the whole
and like they're pristine when they're done. Well, I wasted
about twelve hours of my life on that watching them

(02:19:59):
rebuild the hot wheel. Dude, I'm not I got. I
don't have enough time left in my life to death
scroll do you understand I got? Yeah, I'm on the
clock now four to eight hours of screen time scaring.

Speaker 6 (02:20:15):
You're doing fine. I think it's pretty funny though.

Speaker 16 (02:20:18):
You're watching videos of people putting hot wheels on blocks
and doing paint jobs.

Speaker 11 (02:20:23):
And well, it's much better than people trying to figure
out what's happening with science. I can tell you that.
So I'm just gonna stick at wheel.

Speaker 3 (02:20:31):
Well, if you're not feeling good, just stare at a
duck for a while, all right, you stare at a dog.

Speaker 6 (02:20:37):
That's the meditation you need right there.

Speaker 11 (02:20:39):
I need some ducks today, Bill. I don't think I
don't think you're a real parent until you've shredded the
bottom of your feet on a lego block and a
hot wheel. That's that's like. That's like when it's like
when Kai chen Kan had to walk across the hot
coals and kung fu. You have to that's your right
as a parent. That's your right of passage. You have

(02:21:02):
to up on some stuff that cuts your feet going
through the bedroom at like five am, and then be
quiet so you don't wait to kid up. So you
have to hold that in her scream in Yeah, that's right,
that's the one that's the parents scream I'm talking about
right there.

Speaker 3 (02:21:16):
That has to be the quickest elicitation of the F bomb.

Speaker 6 (02:21:22):
There is stepping on a level.

Speaker 3 (02:21:24):
The legout, yeah, oh.

Speaker 11 (02:21:26):
It rolls the the f in the F bomb rolls
from your foot to your mouth.

Speaker 3 (02:21:31):
And.

Speaker 11 (02:21:32):
Then you got and then you got to hold it.

Speaker 6 (02:21:40):

Billy Gardell's Live in Los Angele's cal of Foreign You
here on the DV morning show.

Speaker 6 (02:22:33):
Sports have brought to you by Bridgeville Pliants.

Speaker 14 (02:22:36):
One of the things the Steelers are probably gonna have
to deal with Thursday night in Cincinnati is Joe Flacco
and Jamar Chase making it up as they go along
here and.

Speaker 15 (02:22:46):
There, drying it up in the sand.

Speaker 14 (02:22:49):
Those two hooked up on a touchdown pass late in
the Bengals lost in Green Bay on Sunday. It was
twenty four to ten Packers with four seventeen remaining, fourth
and five from the nineteen yard line. We've talked today
about how Jamar Chase made a phenomenal catch. He was
getting held with one hand, so he caught it with
the other, and then the Bengals got a two point

(02:23:11):
conversion to make it twenty four to eighteen with plenty
of time left in the event they could get a
defensive stop, which they couldn't. But Chase talked afterward about
how quote it was actually called another play, but I
was telling Flacco to change it.

Speaker 6 (02:23:28):
It's funny how it worked out.

Speaker 14 (02:23:29):
They did not get the coverage that Chase was anticipating,
but as he put it, quote, it just ended up working.
He said, he does that kind of thing quote every
here and there. And Zach Taylor, the Bengals head coach,
is all for it.

Speaker 5 (02:23:45):
I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 6 (02:23:46):
You guys, figure something.

Speaker 14 (02:23:47):
Out quote help throw you could catch, you know, Jimmy's
and Joe's not extras and O's right, said Taylor. Quote
I can't even tell you the description of the route
we ran there. It was one of those here's what
they're going to do, let's do this situations. It's not
all stuff that's on the call sheet. We were having

(02:24:09):
to add lib a little bit is explore how they're
playing our guys. You have to just as the game goes.
And I thought he did an unbelievable job of handling that.
Meeting Flacco just a description of a play at times.

Speaker 16 (02:24:23):
Yeah, that's not easy to sign with the team. And
then a couple of days later, you're playing in Lambeau,
you know, the.

Speaker 14 (02:24:28):
Game's on the line, the coach sends in what he
wants you to do, and then the receiver says, you
know what, well you do this instead, and they do
it and it worked real good sign for the coach. Well,
but you know, I mean, I don't think Aaron Rodgers
rejected Arthur Smith's call on the touchdown to Connor Hayward.

Speaker 6 (02:24:46):
But he just got out on the wing over there.

Speaker 5 (02:24:49):
I'll throw it over.

Speaker 6 (02:24:50):
There, you know.

Speaker 18 (02:24:51):
I mean.

Speaker 14 (02:24:51):
They spend all week planning, preparing, drilling, and sometimes it
comes down to what you can do in the moment.

Speaker 3 (02:24:56):
Usually not before you snap the ball, though, I'm going
to go out that way, and then I'm going to
turn that way, using down before you step. Another interesting
development on defense for Cincinnati. We know they've been bad
for a long time on defense, but you guys know,
linebacker Logan Wilson, number fifty five, it's been a pretty

(02:25:18):
good player for the Bengals. Former second round pick out
of Wyoming through the Green Bays the hip drop tackle. Yes,
through the.

Speaker 14 (02:25:26):
Green Bay game, he had started sixty two of sixty
two games played since the two thousand and twenty one season. Well,
he wound up playing twelve defensive snaps against the Packers,
didn't play the defense in the second half. Looks like
the Bangles are going with two rookies at inside linebacker.
Barrett Carter, a fourth round pick out of Clemson who

(02:25:48):
made his first career start in Green Bay and never
left the field. And Demetrius Knight number forty four, he's
a second round pick out of Georgia Tech, Charlotte and
South Carol. What is that all? He played ninety two
percent of the snaps. You know, I guess they're getting
younger and inside linebacker, and they said they want to
keep working with all three. But in Green Bay at

(02:26:12):
least Logan Wilson is their most experienced guy. Uh and
he's a captain for since that he was the odd
man out. What the hell are they doing? Yeah, when
your defense and your captain, when your defense stakes, does
he get better by taking out one of your few
good players?

Speaker 11 (02:26:30):
Sounds very sad. That's I just said, said, this is
a state that you know, if they drink pepsi and
they eat hunts ketchup. I mean, what are you shocked
by these moves? I don't I don't know what anyone's
doing in Ohio. I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (02:26:45):
I just it.

Speaker 11 (02:26:46):
Baffles me when I'm there. It's what's that Superman reverse World?
That's that's what that is. It's it's it's mister Mitchell
Fleck cover there. I don't know what they're doing. I
don't know what it is.

Speaker 14 (02:26:57):
The Other thing I want to highlight this hour Bengals
kicker Evan McPherson, Randy, did you see the record breaking field?

Speaker 5 (02:27:04):
Seven yard?

Speaker 6 (02:27:05):
Wasn't last play of the first half?

Speaker 14 (02:27:08):
Bengals try sixty seven yard or McPherson hits it off
the upright, off the crossbar and through.

Speaker 6 (02:27:15):
It's good.

Speaker 14 (02:27:15):
It's an NFL record, but the Packers called time out
just before the snap, so it didn't count. He missed
the subsequent rekick. But this guy made a sixty seven
yard field. I mean, he's got that kind of legs.

Speaker 3 (02:27:27):
He's the dude that during the Super Bowl was like, Yeah,
I'm gonna go watch Snoop at halftime.

Speaker 5 (02:27:33):
Right.

Speaker 14 (02:27:34):
He wound up missing the retry of the sixty seven yarder,
and he also missed from fifty eight.

Speaker 3 (02:27:40):
In the jay Z whoever it was, remember, He's like, Yeah,
I'm gonna go out and watch the halftime show. And
they're like, no, you're not, jackass, you're playing paying the
blue time.

Speaker 15 (02:27:49):
Yeah, I'll be fine.

Speaker 11 (02:27:50):
I stand in the puddle, nobody will see me, come.

Speaker 14 (02:27:53):
On, nobody talks to me anyways, but those were only uh,
those are his only two misses of the year so far.

Speaker 6 (02:28:00):
From sixty seven and fifty eight. He's real good.

Speaker 3 (02:28:02):
You don't got to get too far on the other
side of the fifty to make it doable for him.

Speaker 6 (02:28:07):
Like everybody anymore, it seems right.

Speaker 3 (02:28:08):
I mean, it's just well, you know, the reason that
a lot of people are just all of a sudden
happened because they're allowing their They're allowing kickers to have
a caball this year, which means like the quarterbacks. The
quarterbacks get the ball the day before and they're allowed
to wear it down a little bit so that it's
not like this plastic e ball.

Speaker 6 (02:28:26):
They always had the cable, but now they can mess
with it, right well, they're giving them the cable before
it and the box before the game.

Speaker 3 (02:28:34):
What they used to do, like back in the day.
This was like Josh Miller and I used to talk
about some the time. It was funny, how like it
was like it would be like giving pitchers the baseballs
they're gonna throw before the game and they're just scuffing
it all up. I mean, kickers used to just throw
it off the ground, scrub it on the turf. They
do everything they can to get that plastic sort of

(02:28:57):
feel out of the ball and get it worn in
because it reacts to your foot much better that way.
So on top of these guys being just assassins from
a precision precision standpoint, will it is silly, how I
hear it? Everybody is in the NFL now when the

(02:29:18):
field holds up, yeah, yeah, but they also get a
few more yards and the estimates are six to seven
yards further.

Speaker 6 (02:29:27):
It's incredible.

Speaker 14 (02:29:28):
And some of these ones that go through from sixty
or you know, give or take, they're halfway up the uprights,
I mean they have they're.

Speaker 15 (02:29:35):
Good from seventy.

Speaker 5 (02:29:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:29:37):
Yeah, they're making it with room despair.

Speaker 6 (02:29:40):
Kickers are doing it too, though.

Speaker 11 (02:29:41):
Wild the watch, Wild the watch.

Speaker 3 (02:29:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:29:44):
All right.

Speaker 14 (02:29:45):
Steelers are the second seed in the AFC right now
after Buffalo's Monday night loss in Atlanta Indianapolis at five
to one and Pittsburgh at four to one.

Speaker 3 (02:29:55):
All right, who's better than the Colts and the Steelers?
And are the Steelers better than the Colts?

Speaker 5 (02:30:01):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:30:02):
And the Chiefs and that's it right, Yeah. Chargers I
think are still even with those injuries.

Speaker 14 (02:30:08):
For some reason, I think they're about half slappy, but
that could just because I hate hardball with every fiber
of my BA.

Speaker 11 (02:30:15):
Support. Speak it into existence, Speak it into existence.

Speaker 14 (02:30:20):
I think the Steelers are starting to come around and
if the run defense is real, and I'm very impressed
with what they did against Quinn Shawn Judkins in Cleveland,
but I was, I mean, that guy's he's a load
and they slammed the door shut. But they're gonna have
to do that again when they play the Chargers. They're
going to try to run the ball. The Colts and

(02:30:40):
Johnathan Taylor are the best back in the league.

Speaker 15 (02:30:43):
Let's see what hackers.

Speaker 6 (02:30:44):
I guess we'll get a chance to.

Speaker 14 (02:30:46):
See, uh, not too long from now, whether the Steelers
are better than the Colts because they played Green Bay
and they play the Colts.

Speaker 6 (02:30:54):
Is that Colts game here?

Speaker 18 (02:30:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:30:55):
All right, and they won't go to the Chargers.

Speaker 3 (02:30:59):
All right, Let's do quick break and we will come
back more with Billy Guardell. But first, folks, let's talk numbers.
Let's talk numbers, because a new roof can be a
big investment if it doesn't have to wreck your budget.
MHI roofing offers five years of no interest financing with
low monthly payments for qualified buyers. That means you can
protect your home now and pay over time with zero interest.
You're not just getting any roof, You're getting a team

(02:31:20):
that shows up on time, communicate, communicates clearly to you,
and they leave your yard cleaner than they found it.
Make a mess out of the place before they come,
and they'll prove it to you. Thousands of Pittsburgh homeowners
trust MHI Roofing. It's time you did too. My friends
at MHI offer a fifty year league free guarantee on
every homely installed, but it all starts with a free

(02:31:40):
twenty one point roof inspection. So if your roof's looking rough,
you got one spot that drips when it rains, don't
wait looking for smart protection and smart financing.

Speaker 6 (02:31:51):
You have a smart choice. It's MHI Roofing.

Speaker 2 (02:32:02):
And Kenny Vosford.

Speaker 9 (02:32:03):
We've always served our neighbors by offering them.

Speaker 6 (02:32:05):
That's a mystery right there, California.

Speaker 11 (02:32:07):
Well that sounded a seventies cop show where the guy's
picking the lock at the beginning.

Speaker 6 (02:32:13):
Yeah, hey, what are you doing in here?

Speaker 5 (02:32:16):
Stop?

Speaker 3 (02:32:19):
Well, it's you know, it's kind of a sinister sound
because it is Halloween month, after all, Halloween.

Speaker 11 (02:32:27):
You know what? You know what Patty did yesterday, man,
and she bought we only have I don't know, all
the kids on our street are pretty much grown. So
we end up with four trick or treaters every year
now because all the kids are in college now. But
she always buys a box of full sized candy bars.

(02:32:48):
You can't have it in the house, Henry, I can't
have it. Yeah, I mean I saw that box and
you just heard a blood curdling scream from me. Like
remember when the haulk got loose in the Avengers on
the ship and they just heard them and you looked up.
That's what you heard when I found those candy bars.

Speaker 5 (02:33:11):
In the house.

Speaker 11 (02:33:11):
I got a full I got full racks of eminems
and twigs, three musketeers. I can't that's and it's full size.
That's a heavy pain.

Speaker 3 (02:33:20):
I actually think that the full size are easier to
avoid than the tiny ones because the tiny ones you
talk yourself right in.

Speaker 11 (02:33:27):
You're like, yeah, well, my tiny little operation stomach, the
bite size works for me. If I hit too much sugar,
I'm going over to Saint Joe's.

Speaker 6 (02:33:38):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 11 (02:33:39):
Is that, well, no, because I fill up on the
little ones like I don't. I can't eat a bunch
of them, but the big one like it Just my
head starts talking to me and I have a flashback
to nineteen ninety three, Billy eating a Snickers bar before
going to dinner. What what are you doing?

Speaker 6 (02:33:58):
Dude? What is the best Halloween costume you had as
a kid.

Speaker 11 (02:34:06):
We made a lot of our costumes. Ye we were
you know, Swiss folk kids, so we a lot of
our costume. I was, well, I I didn't go home, bro,
I went pirate, pirates got I'm working with a two
dollars eye patch at least some going out on the
high seas man. But I would say my favorite one, well,

(02:34:30):
that's a hard one.

Speaker 6 (02:34:33):
My brothers would go as joggers.

Speaker 11 (02:34:36):
I think I got you know what, which is just.

Speaker 6 (02:34:38):
The way to run and steal candy, you know it?

Speaker 11 (02:34:40):
Kind of just those guys showing up on the door,
they're twenty three, get out of here, Jack and I
h I think I had a I had a star
Wars like, uh, it was the the Jedi Robe. I
had the Jedi Rope one year. I think that that
might have been my alt time favorite.

Speaker 3 (02:35:02):
Have you gotten into watching the scary movies yet? Do
you do that in October?

Speaker 11 (02:35:06):
I never, I don't watch any scary movies. No, this
this is not my month. This is Canac the X
cop now Driver's month, because he's probably dressed up as
a ghoal right.

Speaker 6 (02:35:18):
Now it's a whole.

Speaker 11 (02:35:21):
It's a whole like he's you know, scary clown whatever.
Like his whole yard will be filled with tombstones, There'll
be music, there's a fog machine. I just want October
to pass. I want nothing to do with that. You
might have had to do with the fact that when
we were on mushrooms when I was young, we watched
Jacob Ladder and that was it for scary movies for me.
I was all done with scary movies. Plus, if I

(02:35:43):
want to watch a scary movie, I turn on the
news or I just you know, go house. So I
just like nice stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:35:50):
Sure, there's a algorithm trend that is happening right now
for me where I keep seeing videos of people who
leave candy out on their porch and then wild animals
possums or raccoons come and start eating it. And then
they activate the like scary witch that they have on

(02:36:12):
their and they're scaring the animals, and then the animals
are like like Looney Tunes style.

Speaker 6 (02:36:18):
Flying up in the air.

Speaker 3 (02:36:21):
But now I'm starting to see a series of videos
where the raccoons have learned the behavior and they're fighting back.
So the raccoons are smart enough to know that that
thing ain't really coming after im me. It got spooked originally,
and now they're like, uh, I'm not pulling myself away
from the candy like this, like you know, a witch

(02:36:44):
from home depots like next to them, and they just
look over at it and run over and go. They
like punch it like five times, and then they run
back and jump in the candy bowl.

Speaker 11 (02:36:58):
With their little raccoon. Sounds like a Hannah Barbara cartoon.

Speaker 15 (02:37:07):
Dump on your car.

Speaker 3 (02:37:08):
Trash pandas are all over my neighborhood every morning when
I come to work, my highlights, my my headlights always
light up. Raccoon eyes running in out of the sewer
on the road around the corner from me. Yeah, and
they're just hagging out like he is not confounded by
me at all, you know what I mean. It's like,

(02:37:28):
no no confrontation concerns from those raccoons. And there's like
a bunch of them, and I'm wondering what the hell
they're going on.

Speaker 11 (02:37:35):
Well, they got a crew. You know, there's a wheel mas,
there's a bag man. They look up, they got you know,
they got a whole the team. Yeah, they're doing like
the Listanza heist for raccoons rolled up. They rolled up
in an old small bill. That was weird.

Speaker 9 (02:37:49):
Yeah, they.

Speaker 3 (02:37:53):
Ain't scared.

Speaker 16 (02:37:53):
Collye right now, pull up on a hot wheels.

Speaker 3 (02:37:59):
Billy Gardell Dodger. I can't believe how much those hot
wheels go for. Billy was saying earlier. Roger Dodger was
his favorite one. I looked it up. It was like
eight hundred dollars on eBay rnge well to ninety. But
I have three of them. I think that's where you
got that number.

Speaker 6 (02:38:15):
No, dude, I'm telling you, oh yah, yeah, yeah, three
of them.

Speaker 11 (02:38:18):
Also got a red red look up, look up a
pristine red baron.

Speaker 15 (02:38:23):
Look that one up, red baron. I didn't even know
there was inclusive hot wheels all like that.

Speaker 9 (02:38:28):
I didn't either.

Speaker 3 (02:38:31):
This one is one hundred and fifty bucks and you
can get some damnag some dinged.

Speaker 6 (02:38:35):
Up ones for like sixty bucks.

Speaker 11 (02:38:37):
Slightly used me and Kneesy the X cop now driver.
We uh, we have had a lifelong war because he
was a matchbox guy and I've been a Hot Wheels guy,
and I've just every randomly for thirty eight years, i
will call or send a text and I've even sent

(02:38:59):
a postcard that just as match Box sucks. That's been
going on forever. So when I when I did when
I did Jay Leno's garage two years ago, Jay had
his own line of hot wheels for a while, the
Jay Leno, you know, his face was on hot wheels.
So I got Canaesy a hot wheel from Jay Leno
in the box and then I had Leno sign it

(02:39:21):
match Box sucks, match game setting match Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:39:29):
Billy, you got any are you just dodn't stand up
around the country still right now?

of February. A couple of theaters a week, five seven
hundred seaters and uh, and we'll see man. It's called

(02:39:55):
the Less is More Tour, which kind of applies to
where I'm at in my life, and it also applies
to I think a reminder we all need less is more.

I don't mean I want.

Speaker 11 (02:41:16):
Can I just thank the DV listeners real quick from
the podcast because I always see a pocket at them
in my shows no matter where I'm at. I was
in Naples, Florida, I was in Upper Michigan, I was
in boker ratone, and there's always a pocket of DVE
podcast listeners who still listen to the show on the
podcast because they've moved away, and they always show up

(02:41:37):
at my show. So thank you.

Oh yeah, know what I was going to say. And
I didn't mean to say that it was weird.

Speaker 8 (02:41:52):
It's that Spotify like does captions whenever it plays back
the show, and it's trying as hard as it can
to get all of our inser accents sometimes when we're
definitely saying and it's getting as close as it can
so whatever, Like AI, it is burning out, like whatever
computer is just on the fritz.

Speaker 9 (02:42:13):
It cannot catch us.

Speaker 6 (02:42:14):
Maybe we'll be the thing to finally fry Spotify.

Speaker 11 (02:42:17):

Speaker 23 (02:43:50):
Steelers cornerback 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 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 game high

(02:44:13):
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 3 (02:44:19):
Watt and had two sacks.

Speaker 23 (02:44:21):
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 6 (02:44:27):
Speaking of TJ.

Speaker 23 (02:44:28):
Watt, he was his usual dominant self when the Browns
came to town. He only managed 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 on the South Side as they
get ready for another AFC North matchup in Cincinnati this
Thursday against the Bengals on tom Up from then with
