Speaker 1 (00:18):
Live from the Don's Appliances studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
This is wde Pittsburgh beyond music. Just the big box
stores that we go to, the targets and the walmarts,
put all the mom and pop shops, you know, and
it's the convenience and the cheaper prices that we love.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Put out the families that we care about.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
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 the people inside. Yes, Go
tell mister Keller your dad wants to pack a mere
at one hundreds.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, this is a pack of smokes with a note
from your mom.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
To caller, my dad wants back one hundreds. Actually, I
don't think. I don't know if they were hundreds. It
might have been my mom smoking.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, she was always crazy to me.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
You know cigarettes, Yeah, not enough, make them more, make
them taste worse.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I want the ash to really hang out there and
draw the attention of anyone I'm talking to. When am
I gonna ash it? You'll never know.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Brandy Bellman and the Dvrning Show.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
What about those Merit one hundreds or any one hundreds
is I always felt like when you were smoking them
that you were dragging so hard to get real like
a normal hit off of them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, it was like starting an old lawnmower exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And uh, I never thought that that was better for you,
you know what I mean. It was like I felt
like you're always working hard.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Was there a fallacy out there that they were better
for you? I think so.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I think there's this idea that one hundreds were somehow
lighter because they weren't packed in as tight, so that
it was like you were actually smoking less tobacco in
the one hundred, But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And then there were the slims, which were always like
stupid and we didn't know anybody that smoked slims.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Those were for refined women. Yeah, yes, for after tennis lessons. Yeah,
just you know, just puffing on one like well, also
cigaretllo was like what were the brown ones more?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Remember?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Oh I don't Yeah, Well they also had the clove cigarettes.
Did you have friends that tried to act cool and
smoke clothes?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I did, and they got smacked down pretty quickly for
that because it was just like dude, you're ruining everybody's
time right now.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Get rid of that thing.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, it's like, dude, you would you roll up some
pot pourri, Get that out of here.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
This was smells like it does sounds like someone went
into your bathroom, took some randies, put your peppourine in it,
rolled it up, started firing down your bathroom scent.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And then I had a buddy, and I've mentioned this
before on the air, instead of just you know, realizing
that he was done smoking like the the he first
he went cheap.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
He was smoking highway cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah, and he was getting like discount cigarettes. He was
smoking Harley's or I don't the brands that I am
not familiar with. He was going discount packs. Yeah, and
it started by him. His mom used to get cartons.
He would take each pack out of the carton, steam
the bottom, like the the plastic of the bottom, take
(03:44):
like a cigarette or two out of each pack to
make himself a pack.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I'm like, dude, we could steal cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, like they're they're not paying attention at the at
the junk or at the you know, the little grocer
marred up up by us.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You don't have to do some sort of mission impossible.
It was insane.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And then he started get he got a cigarette press
and like a duffel bag of tobacco. I'm like, you
going into the manufacturing business?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, why you just quit?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Haby and I were talking to these people in Doubling
about the same thing with drum cigarettes, Like you know,
back here it was drum and people would roll their
own and it was I guess the thinking behind it
was one, not as many additives. Two, because you were
methodical about rolling it before you smoked it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You weren't just firing down smoke after smoke after smoke.
Wasn't a thoughtless thing.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But a lot of people I knew had cigarette rollers
like joint rollers, and they would just roll up a
bunch of drums. And then I'm like, well, now you
just have a bunch of filterless cigarettes. Yeah, that you're
just firing down. You're not doing any of the pageantry.
So what's the point of this. I don't understand it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You formalized it in a way that now you're you're
an assembly line worker.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It just had it so easily can have control over you.
And I don't think people even know that it's happening.
And then all of a sudden, their lives are ruled
by tobacco.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Oh yeah, it happens extremely fast. It's what I liked
in Dublin. And you used a good word pageantry. But
it was like a ritual. Yeah, there was something to share.
Every time that he wanted to offer somebody a cigarette.
You kind of like had to choose your people wisely
because you had to spend time rolling them a cigarette.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
You also had to talk to them while you were
rolling them a cigarette.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
And I was like this, this feels like we're sharing. Yeah,
this feels like a moment. It feels like I'll remember
this forever.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
The guy, the guy that worked at the Guinness factory
that traded shirts with Jacob. He was smoking, but that
was that was technically outside, but we were still kind
of inside.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
It was like a tent in front of the bar.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, it was like it was like a patio, like
a covered patio.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, just normal cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That was just a normal cigarette, right, yeah, normal sized
cigarettes size everyone.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
No, and then and then you get the weed, you know,
the different kinds of weed. I remember being at a
whiz Khalifa came in diod a concert with the Killers
and all my buddies from Squirrel Hill started Rostam Records.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
And were you grew up with that?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I grew up with all those guys, And so they
have me backstage and it's hilarious because half of it
looks like a rap video and half of it looks
like a JCC reunion, like where you know, a bunch
of Jewish guys talking about how good the bread is
in the corner. And Wiz had this wax that he
(06:51):
was smoking at the time, and he had a blow torch,
and I remember just being in the room. I never
smoked anything, but my lungs were on fire because I
was just breathing it in it gabs. I don't know
what the hell it was it was like, but like
turned into a.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Wax highly concentrated that he was firing this blow towards
chat and then he had this huge goblet of nuggets.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, when you're tall, unbelievable goblet of When your tolerance
gets to that level, it's just I just think you
need to kind of take on another habit. Oh yeah,
because he's got to smoke all day long.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
He's got just to get a little bit high.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I got to wake up and smoke. He had a
cigar box that had nothing but like fat rolled joints,
like a hundred of them.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
So this is this might be a dumb question, but
I don't understand why he's got as much money as
he does, like or why he's as big as he is,
because I feel like he doesn't have a ton of hits.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
No, but he's a rock star. Everything he does, like
the like anywhere he goes.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's a it sells out. He's just he's a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He's he doesn't have a ton of hits, but he
has a ton of music.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
He's made a ton.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Of like mixtapes and underground stuff, and so he's incredibly successful. Yeah,
and Mac was really on that trajectory too, And at
first it was it was tough for Mac because Mack
was kind of caught in his shadow because he blew
up first. And it was just like he's Snoop Junior
basically right, And now they do a ton of stuff together.
(08:44):
I saw it inc He's in Vegas and shows and
concerts around the world.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I mean, Whiz tours the world.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
No. I know well, Bonyx is his you know DJ
DJ and we obviously know Bonnish very well. Having worked
with him here and I are, and he's now doing
a show out in Portland. Bonic says, yeah, he's got
a show out in Portland on terrestrial radio. But like
in talking to him, it's a non stop get on
(09:12):
a jet, go there.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
That's it. I mean, that is the coolest life.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Also maddening at some point, but like really the best
possible way to go mad as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Oh yeah, how would you ever notice you were going mad?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Like just smoking weed all the time and traveling all
over the world.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
It probably would be a lot more difficult with kids
and a family.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Like we've got kids? Does he have kids? Whiz? No?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, Like when when you're planning the tour, it's a
little bit easier to kind of tell your family. But
like if I'm sure, Wiz is just hitting him up, like, hey,
we just got offered this this one night, or in Toronto.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Can you do it? You can come spin in Dubai?
Hey can you do Thailand tomorrow? Yeah? Uh? And Mac
it is so funny.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Uh, Like I was hanging with his childhood buddy John Binley,
and to see the paths that they went on, so
they were they were like best friends and one went
like all the country and then Mac of course became
a hip hop icon.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I actually would love to hear him talk about like
Mac about country because he just had a love for
all genres and that and that was the thing about
that last album that he put out that I'm so
bummed that he didn't get to tour and and see
the reception of that thing, because it was it was incredible.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I thought that was a very cool sounding record. And
I think that anything I've heard where people have tried
to emulate that that they missed what he was doing completely.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Oh yeah, you know what I mean, Yeah, because they
didn't really have the talent that he had.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's a great sounding record. What's the name of that
one again? I was gonna say bicycle.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Bicycle another activity I believe it was.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, I think that's what that was. It was Make
sure you get Cornhole. That was just a big one. Yeah,
of course. Pickleball by Mac Miller. Abby's got your news now.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
All right, news this hour is brought to you by
your neighborhood Ford Store, and it is a mix of
sunshine and clouds. Today, with a high of sixty eight,
I actually have another artist that is outside maybe of
the purview of the.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Usual dv E audience.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
But you probably saw this yesterday that Grammy winning R
and B star DiAngelo died yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, another guy whose records I thought always sounded amazing.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, Brown Sugar Classic.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Super young as well, fifty one years old. This was
after right, yeah, prolonged and courageous battle with cancer. But
he helps spearhead the neo soul movement with his nineteen
ninety five debut album Brown Sugar.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh yeah, he went a Grammy for.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
His next album, Voodoo, which came out in two thousand,
as well as the single untitled how Does It Feel,
which is that you know video that was pretty hard
to miss because it was just basically a zoom out
of his body.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That's the cover of Voodoo too, Like the album is
just his topless body.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Dude was shredded. Yeah, handsome fella. Handsome fella.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm not totally secure in his talent early on, which
is kind of crazy to me. I mean I read
something yesterday where he got in to see Nile.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Rogers, you know, funk producer legend.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, and now Rogers listened to what DiAngelo was calling
the demo that he had and he didn't know what
to do with it because he was selling songs, and
Nile Rogers listens to it. He goes, don't touch a
thing on this, it's perfect. Put it out, and he's like,
(12:46):
I don't know, you know, no, I mean this that
wasn't supposed to be done. It's just supposed to be
you know, the demo. And he's like, no, it's done.
Put it out, and he said a year later it
was on the radio.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
But like, if now Rogers tells you put it out,
I think I would.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You got to put it out and it felt pretty
good about it.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, that Brown Sugar album.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I mean, if you've never heard of di'angelo and maybe
you're not into that kind of music, that was a staple.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It's baby making.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
My brother loved that album and had it on all
the time, and then I subsequently had it on all
the time. Really good R and B music, Lady Cruising,
Brown Sugar, s Damn MF or an unbelievable album.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Didn't quest Love produce his first record or he drummed
on it?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I don't know, Yeah, I mean that sounds right.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Well because then he after he won Grammys I think
for Voodoo, but then he released Black Messiah in twenty fourteen,
and then he won Grammys for that too.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
See.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I was only in on like the first two albums,
and I didn't really pay much attention outside of that.
It was just that album in ninety five just kind
of hit right when I was in high school and
interested in making out.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
It's time to make it out?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well, I said, was it Maxwell as the other R
and B guy that was kind of like in his Yeah,
Maxwell was like a.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Lot softer, Like if you look at Maxwell, you're like, okay, Maxwell,
But if you look at if you look at the Angelo,
he's Maxwell. I'm really I'm singing this R and B.
But I'll also kick your ass like he looked like
marshn Lynch.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You know, all right moving on if you have his
arms are like, oh dude, he's shredded.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah. Yeah, that's just that's sad. Fifty one is way
too so young.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I saw a video the other day of his his
baby mom, who also asked away this year. Another singer
I'm blanking on her name, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Their son listening to Angie Stone.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, she passed away this year as well, so that kid,
poor kid lost both of his parents in the same year.
But they're listening to some of DeAngelo's music and they're
actually watching that video that you're talking about, WHOA Where.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
The zoom out?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And she was like, as soon as that album came
out and that video came out, I knew that I
had lost the love of my life. Because as soon
as that hit, that's when the trouble started.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Like, you can't put.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Something like that out and not expect a million women
knocking at our door. And so that was the end
of their relationship and he was like, damn, mom, that
got dark.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
He was working on a record with Rafael sadek oh Ride,
who's work is also one of those every single thing
he's involved in, you're like, Jesus, is that good.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
His solo stuff in particular is really good.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, Tragy, I hate when young artists, but he was
also one of those guys who I thought that like.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
And maybe that story from Nil's Rogers was like.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
A little more telling about his creative process that he
was just too careful with his stuff because I don't
feel like he put out enough.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
No, he didn't put out the music.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, all right, if you have already bought your Halloween candy?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Are you already regretting it?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
There was a poll by CVS that found the average
family that stocks up on candy early will eat their
way through the entire stash not once, but twice before
they make it to Halloween. I was at CVS yesterday
and I resisted the urge to buy anything because I
thought about it, because it's it's still pretty stocked and everything.
But I'm like, I'm gonna go pretty last minute on
(16:55):
this one.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
My thought process on that is always this, I wait
until the very end, and if there's nothing on the shelves,
the kids are the ones that get screwed. I'm not
going to eat through three bags of candy so that
they can get the choice.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Stop.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'm waiting until the end, and whatever's on the shelves
at CVS, that's what they're getting.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yep. I'm sorry this year. Yeah, yeah, have a nice word.
There's original Halloween. Enjoy. I hope you guys like Circus painuts. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I told you guys, I eat candy when I'm here.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah. Yeah, it's Halloween every day up in this piece.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It is well, they you know, they they gave us.
It's like Carnegie giving the libraries before you die. They
give us a candy here and that's kind of a
new thing.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
In the last few years.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And every morning there's a big bull of candy and
we rate it immediately before anybody else gets into work
and take all the Reachi cups out of it and
they wait.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
She doesn't load the candy up until like, at what time.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
So that everyone has a fair shot at Yeah. Yeah,
but we're like raccoons. I mean we kind of sniff
it out.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, we got first track. We're first on the scene.
We're first responders.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
We kind of know whenever our office mom gets here.
So we go out, we check, we peak, we see
if she's there.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Oh no, Abby was crawling in the bowl. The other
don't look at me, snarl like at the salespeople.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
She's yeavy in the day get away from But I
hate the big bags that always try to sneak in
the bs candies that nobody wants, and I feel like
they know what they're doing. It's like you have a
couple of bunk friends that you're like, I'm coming over
and they're.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Like, yeah, dude, hell yeah, we miss you. We have
to hung out with you.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Forever.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You're like, yeah, and I have Trevor and and and
Larry with me, and they're like.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Nah, well whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, it's like those beer twelve packs that they sell
that have three or four crappy beers in there that
nobody ever drinks, and then at the end of the
summer you're left with the variety pack leftovers that nobody wanted.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Yeah, there was a year where this was kind of wild.
The Easter Bunny must have gotten like all the candy
at five below, and there's a little bin at five
below where they have like lemonheads and like bubblegum and
suckers and things like that, and the Easter money must
(19:31):
have been like, this is a great idea because it'll
look like there's a ton of candy.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
And so that's what the Easter Bunny did.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
And then whenever Edie got all of that in her basket,
she started crying and I said, why are you crying?
And she said, I feel like the Easter Bunny doesn't
even know me.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And I went, yeah, the Easter Bunny sucks. Actually, nobody
even like him. Say we kill him off. He's not saying, so.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Just uh, don't worry about it. And say we'll get
it right. We'll work on it another time.

In the DV morning show, Mike Sports are brought to
you by Bridge Vilt Appliance.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Steelers getting ready for the Bengals in Cincinnati on Thursday
and perhaps the continuation of the developing story on offense.
Five games and it was third season with the Steelers
tight end Darnell Washington was targeted a career high five
times and for the second consecutive game, called a career
high three passes, this time for a career high sixty
(21:14):
two receiving yards last Sunday against Cleveland. Washington is also
an integral part of the Steelers Hannibals Elephants jumbo package
in the running game, and he's played a career high
fifty eight percent of the offensive snats this season.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Hey, Arthur made the hand. I like it. I'm taking
that and running with it.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Given that Washington hasn't gotten any taller since he got here,
a natural question for offensive coordinator Arthur Smith yesterday was
what took so long to get Washington prominently involved.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
There's so many of the nuances depending on how to
use it, but the way we trust we put on
our tight ends to play in the corps, I mean,
you've got to be able to make a lot of
the tackle combination box and then just a route running
in different on their background. And you'd like to see
that for all of these players. When you invest in guys,
I mean you look at the old line and you
look at guys like Calvin. You know, it's unfortunate that
(22:09):
he had minor setback, but his growth and development with
the young guys and at that position, I mean, I
can go back and if you look at johnno because
I had him his first couple.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Of years, the leap he really made year three, year four.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
I think you're seeing a lot of that from Darnell
as well.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Better late than never, right, Apparently there's nuance to the position.
And it doesn't matter if you're the biggest guy out there.
You got to be able to do some little things
before Arthur Smith thinks you're ready to do what needs
to be done.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
Someone is just a subtle stuff with the footwork, hand placement,
you know sometimes when you're just the biggest, strongest guy
out there in high school depending what they has a
do or college. I mean those games within the games,
I mean every snap. I mean you're going to get
really good players. And it's not just about a brew
four sometimes because these guys are so good with their
hands and you know, you're just the leverage and those
(23:03):
a little subtle means is when the picture changes, that
got moves inside the footwork you've got to take and
you've got to make those of the split second you
package plays, you're thinking one thing. That's what they's all
these guys going to credit for a lot of the
things that they're asked to do, and how smart our
guys are, and then just that's those little subtle technique things.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I think that he's been Arthur Smith better at methodically
unfolding a series of plays, those packages that he's talking about.
I mean, they set up a big gain with a
run that they were and I'm it's escaping my memory now.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I think it's in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
They had been going to the left with it all
game and then they had the same information set up
go to the right with it.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
All of a sudden it was wide open for them,
and similar first play of the game they threw out
of it. Yeah, and they threw to Washington. You're coming
off a game where all he did was pound pound pound,
and that's like, okay, same group of guys, but this
time you gotta worry about this.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That's what I That's what I love about that elephant
package is that now and they're showing clearly run they're
throwing out of it.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
And that was supposed to be the whole beauty of
the Arthur Smith offense when he got here everybody knew
he'd love tight ends.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Why do you love tight ends?
Speaker 6 (24:10):
Because if you have the right ones, they can block
or they can catch.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
You just have to not overthrow your six foot seven
tight end.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Yes, that man that that double play action bootleg. Damn it,
Crosser was so open and just missed it. He's not perfect. No,
he missed a couple of deep balls to metal.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Well, I'm still not totally concerned about the deep balls.
You know, there's the people saying, oh, he can't throw
the deep ball because of what happened on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Man being in that stadium, he was those balls were
against the wind.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
That wind was coming in off off the the open
end of the off the lake, off the lake, Bubby.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And that's the first couple he's thrown all year.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But he moonball the first one, and you know that
just got caught up in the wind. And the second one,
I think he missed it by a few inches. Honestly,
he just didn't know if he was going back, if
he was trying to go up over the top.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I think he got kind of got caught in between
on that one. Yeah, and they've hit a couple. I mean, the.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Classic one was the back shoulder to Calvin Austin that
won the New England game, and there's been a couple
others here and there. They do have to get a
more consistent deep ball games. If you don't have that threat,
you can't do that offense. But for now, it's, you know,
protect the line a little bit, protect the quarterback a
little bit, try to keep developed, developing it. We'll see
what they can do against the Bengals Thursday night practice. Actually,
(25:31):
both teams practice yesterday, so they had a practice participation
report that was not an estimation for Cincinnati. Looks like
the Bengals gonna get guard Dylan Fairchild back. He's a
rookie out of Georgia, but he's been there. Starting left
guard didn't play last Sunday. Mike Gseki tight end is
going to be out for a while. According to head
(25:51):
coach Zach Taylor, Trey Hendrickson did not participate hip. That's
an obvious big deal for Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But don't you feel better about Broderick Jones after last week?
If Hendrickson does end up playing, I think he's playing better.
I've been kind of in Broaderick's corner.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
All along, but I'm saying, it's quite evidence that suggested
that was the wrong take.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
You know, I mean, I was definitely waiting, see it
wasn't trending in the right direction.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I was definitely down on him, and I'm up the
last couple of weeks.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Of course, he got some help with Garrett, but there
were also times where he had Garrett and he had him.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yeah, and he didn't wilt.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And what he did in Dublin chasing down the play
and getting that fumbled that Aaron put on the carpet.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah, his Football Focus be damned.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Oh those guys are Honestly, I think it's a joke.
I don't know why anybody. It's a lazy journalism by
writers who don't want to do their own research, so
they just say, oh, Pro Football Focus says.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
This the best argument against Spagnolo, saying, like, hey, I'll
due respect everybody who's over there at BFF, but there
were assigning grades to people without knowing what their responsibility is,
and they're giving them like negative points for not doing
the right thing on a play and they have no
idea what that person's assignment was.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Actually that like, guys.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Are doing what they're supposed to and pf Effer saying, Wow,
they didn't do what they were supposed to.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
He's like, with all due respect, they have no idea what.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
They're talking about, which is why right there, it is
a completely invalid way of measuring anybody's performance.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Well, they're trying to invent news statistics.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They graded Miles Garrett is having a good game against
the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Higher grade than TJ. Watshington. He was blanked.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
And this is what pisses Steelers fans off because TJ.
Watt in his career, leads Miles Garrett in every statistical.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Category that counts, that matters, that impacts games.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
He also has Bill pointed out yesterday he quit on
at least one play and just watched Jalen Warren run
by him.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
But here's here's my question to you guys, why is
anyone paying attention to it?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
No weight?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Because it's it's lazy, because it's ubiquitous, right, It's all
over the place, and then people cite it in their columns, and.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Miles Garrett even boosts their platform by he's putting out
their stats his win rate because.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
They're win rate. It's slobbering over what he's doing.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
There's a generation of media now that are covering games
by looking at their laptop while they're at the game,
and this is where some of the information's coming from.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, this is where we are.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
I also think if Chris Collinsworth wasn't involved in Pro
Football Focus with yeah, would it have any relevance at all.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
No, That's why Spagnola said, Hey, you know, all due respect,
I know Collinsworth's involved in that.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
He's a good guy, but this is garbage metrics.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, they were grading a rod Is one of the
worst quarterbacks in the league.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
I think they still have him there like thirty ninth
or something. And it's hard to avoid it. I try
to ignore it, but I hear it.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
You know well, I think that when you argue against it,
you're actually doing what they want, you know what I mean.
It's one of those talking Just talking about them at
all is giving it life.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Shamar Stewart the Bengals number one pick defensive end. He
hasn't played since Week two. He was a full participant.
Bengals are optimistic he's gonna play against the Steelers. On
the Pittsburgh side. No Calvin Austin, no Miles Killerbrew. Everything
else looks like Eryl pointed up, including linebacker Malie Carrison,
who was still on er.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
But I are excuse me, he went, I mean the
way he acted with George Clooney on that show.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
He's still not available, but beginning to work his way back.
Steelers in the Bengals Thursday night in Cincinnati. Pengwins lost
to the Ducks four to three. Last night in Anaheim,
they jumped to a two to nothing lead, then blew
the first two goal lead in the Dan News era.
So much for structured, defensive responsible hockey. The game turned
(29:54):
late when defenseman Parker Wertherspoon flipped the puck over the
glass and got a game penalty at eighteen twenty six
of the third period. Anaheim turned that into the game
winning power play goals seven seconds later. Pens are two
and two. They are in LA tomorrow night, and in
the baseball playoffs, Dodgers are up on the Brewers five
(30:15):
to two to nine things in the NL Championship Series
via a five to one victory last night. Tonight, it's
the Blue Jays at the Mariners. Seattle leads that series
two games to none and has George Kirby on the
mound Tonight.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Abbey's Got Your News.

Jer Cam Hayward Yesterday, Asy and.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Gentlemen, it's the Unk Bowl tomorrow night on Amazon Prime.
I think it's shown locally here on Channel four and
surprise it's not on TCM. We will hear from Cam
Hayward when we come back. If you didn't hear his
thoughts on these two older, let's say, mature quarterbacks, we'll
(31:07):
get his thoughts. And Aaron Rodgers, who actually I thought
accepted the nudging a little better than I thought he
was gonna. I thought he was going to be a
little more butt hurt about.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah. There was a look on his face initially that.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Betrayed eight different appreciation that he played a little.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yes, so good for it looked like he was about
to go f you guys, and that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
You can hear from the quarterback next, and music that's
time and tested and listener approved. Hey, I'm joined today
and join the music. Your requests are on the Electric
Launch at noon with Michelle michaels On, DVE Injury Attorneys Always.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
It's Spitty the Morning Show, Randy Baumaville Crawford, Abby Pristner,
Mike Pursuda. Want to let you guys know, it's a tradition,
a holiday tradition. DV putting on the Smalls Waltz. It's
the last waltz in its entirety at mister Small's and
it's going to take place on November twenty second this
year and once again, Yeah got an all star lineup
(32:13):
of Pittsburgh rock and roll luminaries and jokershek You'll be
there again, Clinton Klake from the common Heart, and Mike Minda.
He's kind of like the de facto musical director of
the evening. The Ramble Horns, including Levon helm Ramble Band
saxophonist and horn player Jordinaary. Eric Lawrence helms up the
(32:35):
horn section, So one of the actual Ramblers from Levon's
band is going to be there with us once again.
Skip Sanders will be there, Molly Alphabet Chet, Vincent Paul Luke,
Andre Costello will be there, Addie Twigg and an Celadonia
And it's just people who are will just knock your
(32:58):
socks off with their the performances. It's I mean, the
band is dialed in on this stuff after having done
it so many times. It's really good start to finish.
If you like the Last Walts, it's widely considered to
be the best rock and roll concert ever filmed. And
we do it justice, you know, in a big part
(33:18):
of the proceeds of that night go to the Greater
Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, So it's all for a good
cause right before Thanksgiving, just like they did it when
they did the original Waltz back in the day at
the I think it's the war Field Theater where they
did that originally.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
How cool is that you can have a great time
in support an unbelievably great call.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, and it's it best well a great time. The
fun thing about it.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Is the audience is so into the performances, like they
you know, these songs mean so much to them.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
They're cult following of the Last Waltz helps you like
a baseline of an audience that's already coming in hot.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
And then you got newbies, yeah, to convert.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Well, that is the new Beast part is you know,
Clinton and I were talking about it before the game
on Sunday. We were having a couple of pregame pops
and and uh, I was like, I don't know, maybe
this is the last time we do this, and and
he's like, well, you know, there's new generations though.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
It turns over yep, you know. And I'm like, yeah,
that is true.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Every year somebody shows the Last Waltz to a younger
nephew or brother, a cousin.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Or kid, and for the first time they discover what
is the magic of the Last Waltz? Clinton, by the way,
does does our Van Morrison for the Last Waltz so good?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Even where the purple jumps on?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
We can't find one that he said if he said,
if we can find one, he'll he'll wear it. Clinton
text because Van Morrison famously wears a purple onesie in
the Last Watts.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Is it velvet?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I don't know what, but it is, Uh, it is
not like what anybody else is wearing that night.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I will say that.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
And it's funny because it's like they do have warrobe Martins.
Are you looking at it now?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Well? He does a famous kick during caravan too.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
But Clinton always does the honor, you know, He honors
the performance with the kick, but has yet to don
the onesie, so well, he's yeah, careful.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Stretching for that on IR for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
If you like The Last Waltz, you love this and
it's right in your backyard at mister Smalls. It sells
out every year, so jump on the tickets now while
you can. They're available at mister Small's box office, mister
Smalls dot com and there's a link for you dve
dot com as well. That's November twenty second, the Saturday
before Thanksgiving, because that's when the Last Walts was.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
It's a tradition.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
They actually had a Turkey dinner at the original Last Waltz.
They served Thanksgiving dinner to all the people at attendance.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Oh, to all the people there was like Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Yeah, Neil Young. Yeah, no, we don't. We don't do
the Neil Young coke ball in the Nostril tribute.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
No No.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
That was like one of the first instances of digital
editing in a movie. Was Martin Scorsese, who directed The
Last Waltz, had to take out footage of a huge
chunk of coke in Neil Young's nose while he performed
helpless because he had They had a huge bowl bowl
(36:20):
a punch bowl of coke in the back room and uh,
you can see we just have espresso. It's it's completely different,
but we snored it.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
So there is that.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
It's November twenty second, The Smalls Waltz once again, brought
to you by DV.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Wait, how the hell did everybody in the audience eat
a Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Have you ever had a like a crab a crawfish broil.
You walk in and it's like tables to just run
the length of the room and you just kind of
sidle up next to it and then you just pick
a space start eating. No, like in the actual theater
they served Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Wid Yeah, that and also sounds gross.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Well it was also I always wonder what was the
start time and the end time on that because they
ran lots of stuff, and there's stuff in the video,
Like if you watch the Last Waltz, there's extras that
show you footage it never ends up in the actual
Last Waltz movie. They got Ringo Star, They've got Ronnie
Wood from the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Are the crowd shots of people like eating cream corn.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
So they there's only there's only pictures. They don't have
like a lot of Like Scorsese didn't have enough film
to just shoot wildly, and he also made the decision
which I I guess I get, but in retrospect, I
wish there were more crowd shots. He decided not to
shoot the crowd because he wanted to look like you
were watching the concert.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
No, you're watching the crowd. You're in the crowd.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, And as a result, you see the same three
roadies on the side of the stage the entire concert
from you know, the vantage point he has from the
side of the stage. There's so many really cool stories
about the Last Waltz. You know.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
One of the things is when you really look at
what Van Morrison is wearing, by the way our memory
has put it together, that he's wearing a purple jumpsuit.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
He's actually just wearing a purple suit. But it's so tight.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Is that what it is that we think it's a jumpsuit,
Like it just doesn't fit him.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I want it to be a jumpsuit. Yeah, Like the
pants are so narrow. Yes.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Another funny little backstory is how obsessed Van Morrison is
with Bob Dylan at the time. He bought a house
in Woodstock so he could be close to Bob Dylan,
so he gets to perform with him on that stage.
And if you watch when they're doing I Shall Be Released.
Van Morrison like wriggles his way up next to Dylan
so he can sing next to Dylan, and Dylan has
blinders on.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It's like Bob Dylan will not look at the tiny,
fat Irish guy next to him no matter what.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
He just won't acknowledge him because he's like, this guy's weird, man,
He's gonna stuck in me, you know. Yeah, Dylan walked
out wearing the exact same thing.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Damn it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Neil Young Neil Diamond performs as the last Waltz and
famously uh he had had a record being produced by
Robbie Robertson and the rest of the band didn't want
him to be there. They're like, why the hell is
Neil Diamond here? And Neil Diamond, instead of being humble
amidst all these other great performers, apparently came in very cocky.
And after he performs his song dry Your Eyes, which
Bill Deasy does by the way, and yeah, uh, and
(39:35):
he walked on stage and said to Dylan follow that,
to which Bob Dylan reportedly replied, what do you want
me to do?
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Make him go to sleep? There was a lot of backstay.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Well, you know, A had the cocaine and a little
consternation and you get the last waltz uh.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Some good natured rip going on in the locker room.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yesterday, as Aaron Rodgers was about to be interviewed by
the press, cam Hayward talked about the Unk Bowl and
called it something else.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Oldest quarterbacks playing this week, Let's go icy hot ball.
I love it. But Aaron Rodgers kind of took it
with stride.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
Aaron, what do you think about maybe the novelty of
two forty old quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Going against each other?
Speaker 7 (40:25):
Forty plus quarterbacks the novelty. Yeah, I think it's great,
great for all the old guys.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
I know that when I watch other sports.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
Maybe it's because I'm the older guy, but I tend
to pull for the older guys to to win.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
To win championships.
Speaker 7 (40:43):
I'm I've been friends with Steph for a long time.
Steph is one of the older guys in the NBA.
Now there's any time of Warriors you play, I'm almost
pulling for Steph to fall out for them, for them
to win.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
But it's great.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
I mean, I've known Joe for a long time. He's
been great coming to my an event. He's been a
great ambasador for the league. He's had a great career
and it's fun that we're both still playing for it.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
You know, people are raving about Joe Flacco on the
South Side the last couple of days, really, the coaches, players, everybody.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
It's about the former Raven.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah, Joe Flacco, the financier. Joe Flacco is going to
be forty one in January. Aaron Rodgers is going to
be forty two in December.
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Yeah, it's amazing and they're both I watched the I
didn't see Flacco play for the Browns, but his second
half against Green Bay with the Bengals, Yeah, it was impressible,
coming off I seventy one and then jumping on a
plane and then jumping into a game.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
He's going to be.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
An incredible Thursday Night Steelers historically bad on Thursday nights.

Speaker 10 (42:02):
The Steelers have their only full practice of the week
yesterday afternoon, as the team faces a quick turnaround and
a visit to Cincinnati for Thursday Night football. Pittsburgh comes
into the game riding the highs of a three game
winning streak, while since he hasn't won a game since
Joe Burrow suffered an injury three games ago. A few
Steelers had the day off yesterday, designated as the rest
day for veterans. Those individuals would be outside linebacker TJ. Watt,
safety Deshaun Elliott, cornerback Jalen Ramsey, in defensive tackle Cam Heyward.
(42:26):
Linebacker Malik Harrison returned to the practice field in a
limited capacity as the team started his twenty one day
practice window to return from the IR. If Harrison fails
to get healthy enough to play after the twenty one
days are up, he will remain on IR for the
entire season. Elsewhere on the injury report, Steelers wide receiver
Calvin Austin the third once again did not practice as
he is dealing with a shoulder injury suffered in Dublin.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Against the Vikings.
Speaker 10 (42:47):
Doesn't look good for Austin when it comes to Thursday's
game against Cincy, but hopefully with the extra time off
on the other side, he can be back for when.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Green Bay visits Pittsburgh and week Gate.
Speaker 10 (42:55):
The Steelers will travel to Cincinnati today for their AFC
North battle with the Bengals this Thursday night, eight fifteen
