This is WDVE Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
Things like crossed arms headshakes, which all signal defensiveness that
can be a subconscious tell I.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Have a problem with the folded arms thing. And it's
not really because I'm lying or anything. It's just like,
I don't know what to do with my arms.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Feels weird to just have.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
Them down at my sides, Like if I think about
it too much.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, you know, I do that.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
More when I am.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Just like as a way to just kind of get
comfortable with yourself and just kind of lean back and
be like, all right, well, what is this conversation?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, I think when I'm in the folded arms thing,
I'm like, wrap it up, Brandy Bellman and the DV
Morning Show. My arms are not folded right now. I
am open arms. As I tell you that. This week's
WDV bud Light Game Day Bar the week.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Is fun Days in South Park this NFL season, stopp
in Fun Days and grab three dollars bud Lights sixteen
ounce aluminum bottles during all Steeler games. That includes this
coming Sunday Night Steelers Packers Sunday's Fun Days as well.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
What's up bud Light, Easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
It is the DV morning show. Randy is off today,
same with Mike Pursuita. We've got Kevin Gorman in for
sports Bill Crawford. I'm Abby Krisner. Our producer is Jacob
Wrecked News. This hour is brought to you by Better
Call Sai. It is cloudy today with a high of
fifty nine and pretty bold. Here a gang of thieves
pulled off a daytime raid at the Louver in Paris,
(02:00):
breaking in via a first floor window, using a lift
and an angle grinder, and making off with eight historic
Crown jewels in just under seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It sounds like some Oceans eleven stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
It's pretty insane, but according to former FBI art crime
specialist Tim Carpenter, the operation appears to have been meticulously planned.
The robbers targeted prized pieces linked to French royalty and
may melt the treasures or extract gems to bypass tracking.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Wow, which makes.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Sense because I'm wondering, like what pawn shop are you
walking into with that?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, Like, we don't have the budget to deal with
that kind of crime.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
We need this, But I didn't think a crime like
this could even happen now, especially with how many people
traffic or you know, go to the louver on a
day to day basis, with all of these security cameras
all over the place.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Same thing.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
There's cameras everywhere everywhere. So this is how they did it.
Apparently three to four people used a furniture elevator that
was on a truck, so this was like on a
like an outside window to the loof, which I.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Was like the loof as like an outside window, right.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
And then they got in and they used an angle grinder,
and again.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Where you have to have an angle grinder.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Everyone knows steel.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Crowns without an angle grinder.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Every bat it knows.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
But again, they had vests that made them look like
they were workers. And then as soon as they were
able to get what they wanted, they escaped on motorcycles
and then the museum was evacuated and closed for the day.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I feel like, you know, just after coming back from Dublin,
didn't you feel like it was so lax from a
security standpoint. I remember at one point in the weekend
and thinking to myself and saying out loud to multiple people,
where are the cops. I don't even know what their
uniforms are. I don't know where they are. This place
is packed, every place is packed. I didn't even see
them in the streets.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I think I said that to you because.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I had the same feeling where, you know, Carson Street
on the south side was the only thing compare it
to because like Temple Bar I was trying to you
know that that's more of the tourist spot in Dublin,
and I was like, this is like, you know, the
Carson Street, but it was it was nothing like there
was very little vehicular traffic, but there was enough where
(04:38):
if you weren't paying attention, you're probably gonna.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Get that car.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah, but you know, that was That's always the thing
I daydream about with Carson Street, as I would, you know,
I would think it would be so much safer if
we could just like, you know, also not have cars
going up and down. You know, that would just make
things a lot easier, But at the same time, I
kept thinking, like, how is this happening? There's not a
hop in sight?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Why is why?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Why are all these people so calm? And how are
they this drunk and nothing's happening and there's no cops anywhere.
But I agree with you. That was one of my
bigger takeaways. I'm like, I don't even know what a
Dublin cop looks like.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
You know what, I've found out what their cop cars
look like, and that was maybe the reason why I
was like, where are all the cops? Their cop cars
are very fun colored, like it's it's like this weird,
crazy geometrical shaped design on the side of the cars
(05:38):
and it's all bright colors and it almost looks like
they're construction workers or traffic workers or something.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Like they don't look like cops at all.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Like balloon animals on the side, Like yeah, right, it's good.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yeah, they got the shag and wagon. Yeah, it's just
a big furry dog they're driving around in.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
As a huge guinness on the side, Like I want
to get in there.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But I guess, you know, it's just not that their
cops don't have guns.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, the funniest thing.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
And I keep saying it to everybody whenever I'm asked
about Dublin is something that you told me whenever I
think you asked somebody, Hey, well, what happens when somebody
does get a little too drunk whenever, like, you know,
somebody's on the street and they're you know, maybe a
little unruly or maybe they they you know, they're a
little two in the bag. What happens when somebody needs
(06:29):
to get out of here? Like what do you do
when there's not a lot of cops on the road?
And somebody said, oh, you just move them along? It's it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
He's like, that sounds so nice.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Sounds so sweet.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Because there were kids all up and down the streets
drinking wine and beers, just sitting down, not in a bar.
And I found out that they would go to grocery
stores or wherever sold the alcohol, get their own because
it was cheaper, and just go where the bar area was,
sit on the curb and drink their drinks. And there's
(07:02):
no law there against public intoxication or open container or
anything like that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Kind of incredible, there's just.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
No uh wow, I mean I think that that's what
happens when you've been around for thousands of years and
you're sort of like the wily old vet in terms
of being a country.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, you know, you're not such a newbie like we
are in this country.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Forget we're such a baby.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
I mean, it's been twenty plus years since I've been Ireland,
but I also don't remember a lot of people going
to the pub and drinking and then driving anywhere. They
pretty much just walked home, right Like I think. I
think that's a big part of it, is like when
you just move them along, it's like you don't have
to worry about them getting in a car and being a
danger to others on themselves.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, it's a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, stumble back to wherever you came.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
From exactly, which there will be a lot of walking
as well. When it comes to trick or treating, which
is closer than we think here. The city announced this
year's dead designated trick or treat hours. People are encouraged
to host trick or treat on October thirty first, from
five thirty to seven thirty.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I'm assuming our neighborhood's going to do Halloween.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Proper, although I was just told that like a friend
of ours is having trick or treat like this coming weekend,
and we I don't understand it at all because I'm like,
when when Halloween's coming up on a Friday, Yeah, why
are we?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Why are we moving anything around for it?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But are you doing like a trunk or treat like in.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Park Your neighborhood is just bumping it up a weekend.
So I'm not sure that.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
They sports people because if they are like those au leagues,
don't care about your schedule whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
No, they don't.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
And maybe it's like that the adults are just kind
of like, yeah, I have plans, so we're going to
move this up, but regardless.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Like you can't have Halloween on high school football Friday.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I guess not.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That's probably what it is for a lot of families.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Okay, I didn't consider that.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
But the point is that now they've invited us to
go and get a bonus Halloween, which I might do.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I think it's terrible, But I also might do it
for my kid, just because she was already kind of
the mindset of this is still the timeframe she's nine
years old, where Halloween is still super exciting.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, And so she wanted to.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Have me do her makeup last night as a test
run because she wanted to remind me that she might
not like how I do it and that she would
like to see how I plan on doing it so
that we don't come up on Halloween night and then.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
She's going to have some corrections she would like me
to make and we won't have time to fix.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Them's audition basically a practice run in Yeah, and we
did that, and I like did her eyeliner and everything,
and you know, trying to do eyeliner on a nine
year old is like I might as well be trying
to do it on a cat. And so she's like
moving and going like I don't get into that, and
then had the audacity to then take a look at
(10:11):
it and go, you know, it's a little crooked.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
And I was like, why do you think it's crooked?
Like when you're backing up, and like you know, she's like, Okay,
I'll try it again. So we went through like the
test run and guys, I passed. So I'm really excited
about that.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
But I'm a driver at this point. I'm just I'm
the uber the pickup and drop off.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I just remember I never really cared for Halloween a
whole lot, and I think a lot of it is
because I was traumatized as a child. My my mother
one year made me a cardboard box painted black and
made it into pac Man and it was for like
a school contest, and I did well on the contest.
But the problem was the box was so wide that
you couldn't make armholes. It's like I couldn't use a
(10:59):
treaty for the take my arms out, Like it was
just basically over my shoulders. So I couldn't use it
as a for anything other than the contest. So remember, like,
you know, so I probably went for a football player
as a football player for like the eighth year in
a row. But I remember like thinking like, oh, this
thinks like the best costume I ever had. I couldn't.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah, I miss I missed those early days with the girls.
I mean here in Pittsburgh, like the weather is usually trash,
it's cold, you know, And I just remember back in
the day when my daughters were both doing the princess
thing and they're in their princess dresses but they have
their winter coats on over it. And we're walking up
and down the street and it's like sleet and but
(11:43):
but I really miss it now. I only have my
sister and her kids to kind of still get a
little bit of that magic with. We walk around, uh,
their neighborhood and I go trigger treating with them because
my my girls are either one done with it, Like
Kennedy's a senior, she's not going out for Halloween. She's
going to Halloween parties now, which is terrifying. Yeah, and
(12:04):
then Emma is just you know, still will go out
and you know, kind of dress up a little bit,
but they're doing their own thing, like they don't want
me around, you.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Know, also terrifying.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Yeah, so that's terrifying, heartbreaking and all that.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yeah, I think this is like we kind of started
very early with always doing family costumes, but it was
before Edie would have been sentient enough to know that
we were doing family costumes. So we always did really
elaborate and super so we would yeah, pick like Disney
families and like you know, we did like Little Mermaid
(12:40):
one year, and we did Tangled one year.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And didn't you guys do did you guys do Beauty
in the Beast or no.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We didn't do Beauty in the Beast.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
We did cats one year, but like the Broadway cats
and so like, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You wouldn't have loved that.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
No, no, no, no, Joe didn't know you know what,
I take it back, Joe did kind of like it.
There was a year she wanted to be Hello Kitty,
and so we did. Like then we were like a
doughnut and a strawberry, you know, as the parents with
her like so we always tried to like, you know,
make it so that we were coordinated in whatever way.
But as she's gotten older, she's dictated what the costume
(13:19):
has been because she's become less flexible. The problem is
is that every year what she wants to be is
less and less tangible because again, one of the big
buzzwords that we, you know, use on the show is
that there's no monoculture anymore. Where we don't have a monoculture.
So because of that, she's picking like anime characters from
(13:40):
a show that.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
No one's ever seen too much. Yeah, nobody knows what
that is. And so now this.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Year, certainly not any of the older people that are
answering the door, because you know, that would be a
thing growing up. I remember for Halloween, like the people
that were answering the door would guess like what you were?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
No, not at all.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
And everybody, ever, every kid wants to be somebody from
K Pop Demon Hunters, which is also like kind of.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
In that world of anime.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
So she's not gonna be like super far out of
like that wheelhouse, but she's gonna be far out enough
that I think she's gonna find herself completely enraged that
everybody's going to think that she's a character from K
Pop Demon Hunters that they just don't remember. And when
she comes home, I guarantee she's gonna be fuming, devastated.
(14:31):
But she still wants the whole family to be this
anime family from this it's called Spy Family, but it's anime.
It's not Spy Kids Spy Family. The funny thing is
that she's a very cute, little pink haired anime character.
And then she showed me what the rest of the
family looks like. The mom in this family looks like
(14:55):
a character from the Matrix, but she's wearing like a
choker and then like a Dominatrix outfit, and I was like, Mom,
I looked at it, and I was like, eightie, I
can't wear that, and she said why not?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And I said, well, the daddies on the street are
not gonna like that. Well, actually, the daddy's on the
street are gonna like that, and that's why we can't
do that.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And I said, if we get yeah, like if we
get separated, that's gonna be a really big problem for
the mommies on the street too. That's not gonna be okay.
So we had to look up a different version of
that mom. She has a daytime outfit, and that's what
we're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, exactly, just be like.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
But there was an article here about like Halloween trends
and saying, like, you know how much you would spend
on a costume. There's kind of an average here that
if you celebrate with kids, you are spending about four
hundred and forty five dollars on average. Oh really, which
is I don't know, you think that's a lot, or.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Yeah, I think that's a ton. I don't ever spend
a ton on Halloween. I mean obviously, like over the
years building up like our decorations and stuff, or if
we host a party, that's another whole expense.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But just on the costumes. We don't ever go over
fifty bucks.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I feel like every costume at Spirit Halloween is reasonably priced.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
They yeah, they generally are.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I was hoping taking her to Spirit Halloween was going
to actually cure this idea of going like basically what
ends up being.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
One stop shop, it's all right here.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Well, I wanted her to just see the potential for
group costumes and just be like, oh my god, that's
so much funnier.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Let's do that.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I'm on, We're Ghostbusters. It's perfect proch on packs for
the whole family.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
I remember buying my son, I think it was Party
City or somewhere like that, but buying him, you know,
a mask in hands and just a cape and being like, okay,
we're going on the cheap here. And the last thing
we bought was a voice changer, and that was that
was priceless. I might he spent ten bucks on it
or whatever, but you know, he'd go to the door
and he had a different voice, you know, monster voice
(17:20):
or a ghoal voice, and he could flip a switch
and change the voice so they could go robot voice,
it could be Yeah, So it was like ten bucks
or fifteen bucks. I was like, it was the best
I ever spent and he used it every year for
like a three or four year span. So the other
thing that I bought, which was a lifesaver, I remember
having to pick my son up at after school daycare
and then going to his friends for trick or treating,
and I stopped at a dollar store on a rainy
(17:42):
night and bought like a dozen clear ponchos. So all
the kids put the clear plastic ponchos over and you
could still see their costumes. And that was like, that
was you know, I came up and saved the day
on that one. That was yeah, And that cost me
what ten bucks or twelve bucks when they were dollar ponchos.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
But you never forget it. I was a dad, never
win the clutch. This is like my Jordan flu game.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
It is going to be cloudy today, kind of can't
rule out that we might have a shower, but we're
hopefully going to get some peaks of sunshine.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
High fifty nine today it is.
Speaker 2 (18:15):

Speaker 6 (18:48):
And morning show Randy and Mike have the day Off,
Bill Crawford, Abby Krisner, Jacob bret Our producer in studio,
and Kevin Gorman has been hanging all morning doing sports
for us.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
We do appreciate you, keV.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Well, there is going to be a Game seven in
the ALCS. The Toronto Blue Jays forced game six. Beat
the Seattle Mariners six to last night and behind the
pitching of rookie right hander Trey Y Savage. Great story.
Twenty two year old started the season in low A,
made it to the majors on September fifteenth. Had a
(19:20):
I think credible. I think he had an eleven strikeout
performance in the playoffs already this year, had eight ks
in his major league debut. Has had a really outstanding
season for them. Last night went five and two third innings,
two runs on six hits, and three walks with seven k's,
but more importantly, three consecutive innings that ended with ground
(19:42):
into double plays, including one in the third with the
bases loaded in al MVP favorite cal Rawley at the
plate got him the ground into a three six one,
which is kind of a rare double play.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
There, and he's been on a tear like to get
a player like the big Dumper out in that situation
is big.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
And he hit a home run to tie the game.
In Game five or Game four or five, he had
a home run to tie the game and then a
Suarez hit a grand Slam and they won six to two.
And that one, I believe the Mariners did this one.
He got three consecutive vlad Guerrero hit a solo shot
(20:19):
in the sixth and the fifth inning for his six
home run of the postseason, which tied Joe Carter and
Jose Bautista for the most by a Blue Jay in
a single playoff run. They will play tonight at eight
oh eight pm at the Rogers Center in Toronto. Winner
faces the Los Angeles Dodgers, who completed a four game
sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers thanks to that historic performance
by NLCSMBP show, heo tawny.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And you think the Jays are going to do it
tonight close him off.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I feel like the Jays have the advantage. I think
it's gonna be tough to keep Rawleigh down. I think
he had three strikeouts in the double play last night.
I don't think you're going to get another performance like that.
He also had an error. You're not going to get
another poor performance out of cal Rawley. But I feel
like vlad garrel on a tear, and they have the
pitching edge with Shane Bieber, a former Cy Young Winner
on the mound and a three time Young Winner, Max
(21:07):
Schers are in the bullpen, and there's a guy with
some serious playoff history, so they have a little bit
of an advantage on the mound so and as well
as the home field advantage. So I think that favors
the Blue Jays. And I'm sure Major League Baseball wouldn't
mind having an East Coast team in the World Series
facing the Dodgers, so that they're have to really kind
of throw a wrench into the schedule with a Seattle
(21:28):
LA series, which would be that would be tough for them.
You know, the Steers playing Sunday Night against the Green
Bay Packers. Steelers four and two with Aaron Rodgers facing
his former team, which is four one on one. And
that's the big The big storyline there is the defense
is Jerry Dulak mentioned the Steelers allowed one hundred and
forty two rushing yards four in their seventy total yards
(21:50):
and that Thursday night loss at Cincinnati thirty three, thirty
one loss. So the Steeers have to really shut that down.
Chase Brown, you know, came into the game averaging two
point seven yards per carryovers first six games average nine
point eight against the Steelers, I.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Mean, the worst rushing team in the league.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
That's all we heard about this team going into that
game was that they just cannot run the ball.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
And the Steelers that we were just talking about off
air Bill. The Steelers had I think what the twenty
first pick, and they drafted Derek Harmon to address their
defensive line, passed on Jackson Dart who supplanted Russell Wilson
as the starter for the New York Giants.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Losing all our compensatory picks, everybody's getting bench.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
And the New York Jets bench justin fields. At halftime
of their thirteen to six loss against the Carolina Panthers.
He was six of twelve for forty six yards, took
three sacks in the first half, sacked nine times for
and produced minus ten yards net yards passing against Denver
the week before, Field signed a guaranteed thirty million dollar contract,
(22:49):
but averaged only one hundred forty one yards over six games.
He missed one with a concussion. He was benched despite
not throwing any interceptions. The Jets became only the second
team in a decade to hold opponents to thirteen points
or fewer and back to back games and lose both games,
and Fields was averaging four yards fewer than four yards
per attempting those those games. A matchup of former and
(23:12):
current Penguins goaltenders Tristan Jarry won that showdown. Sidney Krosbin
of getting Belcom both had a goal and assist against
Alex n delkovic Is. The Penguins beat the senes A
Sharks three nothing. On Saturday. Jari had thirty one saves
for his first shutout of the season, twenty second of
his career, all with the Penguins. That moves him into
a second place tie all time in franchise history with
(23:36):
Tom Barrasso WRK. Andre Fleury has forty four. Barasso had
twenty two. So that's pretty incredible given the ups and
downs of Jari's career. Yeah, you know, this is a
guy who's been a multi time All Star for the
Penguins but has also been benched in favor of Ned.
So the Penguins four and two face the Vancouver Cannucks
four and two, both teams at eight points in that
(23:57):
game seven PM on Tuesday, Pitt one it's third straight game.
Penn State dropped its fourth consecutive. The Panthers hoops team
rallied in one against Providence and exhibition game maybe won
seventy four, and the Panthers women's volleyball team pulled off
a five set win at Louisville yesterday. That was a
rematch of the twenty twenty four final four. Olivia Babcock
(24:21):
had thirteen kills in the fourth set, forty one for
the match. That's a program record, So big victory for
the Panthers there.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Yeah, their volleyball team is ridiculous. I was I caught
onto that last year. My girlfriend and her kids love volleyball,
and Pitt went on an incredible run, as did Penn State,
and I was hoping to kind of see that matchup
in the final.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Pit lost in the semi, I believe to Louisville.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yeah, and Louisville it has only lost in the last
few years five matches at home wo and you know,
pithanded them one. So that's a big victory for the Panthers.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Did you catch the James Franklin interview on game day
over the weekend, because I was shocked that he did
the interview this close after being fired.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
Todd McShay, who's been a vocal critic of James Franklin,
kind of called it on brand and strategic and and
you know, self ser his message out, Yeah, get his
message out there. But I also thought that James Franklin
took the high road and kind of represented they did
Penn State in the same class that he represented Penn
State during his entire tenure as the Ninny Lions coach.
As a former Pen State, Penn State alum, as somebody
(25:31):
who's covered the Penn State football team, I thought he
did a great job there. He just didn't win the
big games, and you put himself in a position where
that was all he had left to do was win
the big games. They didn't do it, and then they
lost the bad games. I think people were willing to
give him, you know, the white out loss in overtime
to Oregon. People were kind of willing to overlook that one,
(25:51):
as much as that was a heartbreaker. But then to
follow that up by losing games where you were favored
by twenty plus points at UCLA and against Northwest turn
and now to Iowa and Terry Smith's debut as interim coach,
that one was a little tougher to swallow. That this
is a Penn State team that had national championship aspirations
and so very conflicted there because I liked the way
(26:13):
James Franklin represented the program. But I also think like
you take the program to a certain level and then
it becomes about getting it past that. Like he got
them national semi finals last year and were within a
few plays of making it to the National championship game,
and now here he is fired in the middle of
a season.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Yeah, that's what coach Saban was talking to him about, basically,
that he was the He ended up being the victim
of the expectations that he set.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
For Penn State.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
I mean, coming into this season rank number one overall
probably didn't help in terms of a pressurized situation for him. Yeah,
but I don't think anybody saw this, But apparently in
the couple of articles that I read about it, they
were talking about the playoff last year and said that
the wins just weren't impressive enough. They weren't against you know,
(27:04):
marquee big name teams.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
I think he was four and eighteen against or four
and twenty one.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
What Boise State and Smure in twenty one against top
ten opponents and one in eighteen against big ten.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
The record was not good against top tier opponents. And
that's that's why guys in that position get fired. It's
not about the overall, it's about how you do against
Ohio State and Michigan and other teams like Notre Dame.
Can you beat the teams that are your roadblock to
a national championship.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
But he's still the biggest name in the coaching market, Like,
you know, there's so job Hell, yeah, there are so
many teams that would love to have him.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Is that you know.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Lazy Susan spins in twenty twenty five, like Arkansas, UCLA.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, Florida just fired their coach.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
I mean there's gonna be teams that are gonna make
way for somebody like Franklin to come in. I'm just
curious if you think he's good enough to go somewhere
else and win a national champion And that's what he's
his stated.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Goal, that's what he said. He said, I'm gonna I'm
gonna have to go win a national championship somewhere else.
And his complaint all along, which is I think kind
of caused Penn State fans to turn on him a
little bit, was that they didn't have the facilities that
some other programs have, and they didn't have the NIL
money that some other programs have. And they stepped up
with the nil money this past offseason to retain some players,
(28:29):
you know, most notably their two running backs k Tron
Allen and Nick Singleton and the quarterback drule are And
so that's the thing is he's going to have schools
that are going to have those resources that he had
to fight against to get at Penn State. He's going
to have those resources, and it's a matter whether he
can deliver on his end, you know, providing a program
that can win those big games like he didn't do
(28:51):
it Penn State, and so we'll see whether it's the
chicken and the egg argument. We'll see whether it's the
nil and the lack of facilities, or if it's the
guy who doesn't come up in big games.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
keV, great job this morning. Thanks so much for coming
in and hanging with us all morning. We appreciate it.
All right, we got one more break before we get
out of here. It is the DVE Morning Show. I've
been trying to win the thousand dollars as long as
conduct has been gone.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
I'm listening to DVE every day.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Congratulations to Shane from Pittsburgh. He's the latest winner of
a thousand bucks in workforce cash.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
We'll give you the keyword at the top of.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The hour nine am through nine pm.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Thirteen times a day.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Enter it at DV dot com and you could win
a thousand bucks in workforce cash. That is off come
from one O two point five DV.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It's Max Starks for my friends. I clearly it is
the DV Morning Show. Mike and Randy have the day
off today.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Bill Crawford, Abby Krisner, Kevin Gorman hanging in studio licking
our wounds here, trying to figure out where we go
next with the Steelers didn't have any games to watch
on Sunday, as far as the Steeler game did watch
some of the rest of the league play some absolutely
(30:04):
crazy performances, including Toua getting benched, Justin Fields getting benched,
Gino Smith getting benched, and then Kenny Pickett coming in
and fumbling on.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
The first play from scrimmage.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Jackson, Dart and bo Nicks going at it in the
fourth quarter out there in Denver, Denver, I think you said, keV.
You shared this stat earlier, the first team to score
thirty three points in the fourth quarter after being shut
out through the first three.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
Yes, and also they snapped an NFL streak of oney
six and two consecutive games were won by the team
that was leading by eighteen points in the final six minutes. Man,
So pretty much, if you had it, if you had
an eighteen point lead in the final six minutes, it
was a guaranteed victory until yesterday.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
And you saw players walking off the field, Brian Burns
most notably, absolutely pissed off at the defense that was
being called. So it comforts me a little bit when
I see other teams out there shaking their head, being disgruntled,
being pissed off at the game plan or the scheme
(31:21):
that they decided to trot out there at the end
of the game, I guess they were playing soft coverage
and just let the Broncos march down the field and score.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I think that's the one thing you can take away
from the week if you think about if you isolated
just a Thursday and you say, oh my god, the
Steelers were awful defensively, and then you take a look,
take a step back and see what happened around the
rest of the NFL and say, well, you know, Joe
Flacco's won a Super Bowl and the Bengals arguably have
the two best receiverers best receiver tandem in the league
(31:50):
with Chase Higgins. So you can look at that and say, okay,
justifiable that if you look at it strictly from that standpoint,
and not that the Steelers have the highest paid defense
in the NFL and that they went out and got
Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay and drafted Derek Carmon over
Jackson Dark. Yeah, if you look at it strictly from hey,
look at the opponent as opposed to well, this didn't
(32:11):
happen to the Steelers against bo Nicks, and the Steelers
didn't have to resort to throwing in a backup quarterback
who kind of made even a bigger mess of things,
or they don't have a coach who has no answers.
You know that Tomlin has faced adversity and he's going
to come up with a scheme better than this that
the next time they faced the Bengals. So, like I
think it, maybe it brings a little more clarity, although
(32:33):
it's not going to leave you any less upset.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Do you think that they've actually are capable of figuring
out the run game because they had that three game
stretch there where they stopped the run, but one of
those games was against the Patriots where they were forcing turnovers.
It seems like every time they're running back touched the
ball and that kind of ended the run game there.
The Patriots just stopped even trying to run it. And
(32:57):
then you're going up against the Vikings in Dublin, and
they're not known for their power running in they also
have one of the best wide receiver tandems in the league,
and so they wanted to air it out against the Steelers.
Do you think that that problem has ever actually been solved, Well,
they haven't solved. Like you know, I remember when the
(33:19):
Steelers had streaks where that nobody ran for a hundred
yards as a team on the Steelers and no players
ran for one hundred yards and that's long gone. So
just the Steelers have been getting getting gouged. Yes, super
Bowl champion stuff. That's the Super Bowl champion teams did that.
The thing that I could see changing and I think
it's going to leave not only fans upset, but some
(33:40):
players are going to be upset is they were running.
At some point the Steelers had three outside linebackers on
the field and that was for pass rush purposes. So somebody,
and it's not gonna be TJ. Watt, somebody is going
to be an unhappy camper, whether it's Nick Herbig or
Alex high Smith, is not going to be on the
field with the other outside linebackers. If they're going to
sell out to stop the run. And I don't know
(34:01):
that they're going to sell out. They may just make
adjustments to the scheme, but to some degree you need
to kind of come up with who who is going
to be your run stopper, you know. To me the
guy that I'm still kind of trying to figure out
where he fits and whether he's as good as advertised
or is as good as he's being paid as Patrick Queen,
you know, is this the guy that's the centerpiece of
(34:22):
your defense or not? You know, is he going to
be a Pro Bowl caliber inside linebacker?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
And he had two.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Terrific games before that game on Thursday night. I don't
think anybody on the defense really had a great game. No,
And just the way that the Steelers somehow manifested that
game that Joe Flacco had from a million miles away,
letting him pass all over us. I felt like the
Browns game on Sunday was just the Browns manifesting their
(34:50):
own brownsing it up versus the Steelers, because their game
plan was to drop their rookie quarterback back fifty eight
times and not run the ball, which they had been
doing efficiently and did again this weekend against Miami.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Jenkins looked like he went.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Off, Yeah yesterday, he's good. Having covered the Steelers in
the second half of the season last year. From the
Monday night football game against the Giants on I think
it's better that this happened in the first six games
of the season rather than at the end when the
Steelers would be trying to figure out something on the
fly as they're trying to clinch a playoff spot and
(35:30):
playoff seating. I think this is something that's correctable, and
whether it's correctable that you address it by signing a
player or adding somebody the trade deadline, or just getting
people healthy and making, you know, adjustments as Jerry Dulex suggested,
which is more likely that they're not going to go
wholesale and add another guy, but I could see them
(35:51):
making some type of an adjustment that it's going to
leave somebody unhappy but might be better for the overall
health of the defense. But they've got to get it
figured out, because when you have guys like and Slay,
who are NFL veterans and have had a lot of
success in this league get exposed the way that they did,
you know, that's that's there's there's a lot of problems.
It's not just that, you know, because these guys can cover.
(36:12):
They didn't cover very well against you know, especially against Chase,
but nobody covers Chase well. I mean, Chase is he's phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
But when he's breaking records his own record, but still
he's breaking records for receptions and they're targeting him twenty
three times, something.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Is a miss, like why you're not shading coverage to
that side or double teaming him from the the gate.
And I understand that they have two great receivers, but
just take one of them away.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
Well, the Steeers have some great defensive players, Cam Hayward
and TJ. Watt, you know, most prominently, the Steeers aren't
going to bench them. So I have a feeling that
it's going to fall on the guys who didn't product
produce on the opposite sides of them that are going
to be under the pressure. That's just my take is
it's not going to come down as like, well, we're
not going to use what in Hayward in the same
(37:03):
roles that they're going to remain in those rules, So
it's going to come down on somebody else. And that's
where I think you're going to see some changes, even
if it's just a matter of it may not be
major changes in terms of somebody losing their starting job,
but you may see them get you know, significantly or
slightly less naps.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Abby, Where is our mental health and emotional wellness at
right now?
Speaker 5 (37:23):
I want you to take a deep breath and ground
your feet to the floor and remember that you are

morning still grateful because he's from Kawaii, and he remembers
that every day is a gift. Big deep breath in

(37:45):
is fun Days in South Park. Fun Days gives you
a chance to grab three dollars bud Light sixteen ounce
aluminum bottles during all Steeler games.
Speaker 4 (37:54):

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by First National Bank. Let's get started. Remember
FDIIC and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it direct from the
team at shop dot Steelers dot com.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
The Steelers fought a four and two on the season
thanks to the thirty three to thirty one Thursday night
football loss of the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals. One
silver lining though for the team and the loss, was
the production of the tight ends and the Steelers' offense
is passing.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Game one hundred and.
Speaker 8 (39:23):
Forty one of quarterback Aaron rodgers two hundred and forty
nine passing yards went to tight ends against Cincy, and
all four of Rogers' touchdown passes on the evening were
to a tight end.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Johnny Smith and Darnell Washington.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
Both caught a touchdown a piece from their quarterback, but
it was Pat Fryarmouth who led the way in the
receiving department. He caught five balls on six targets for
a team leading one hundred and eleven receiving yards, and
he also had two touchdowns, including the sixty eight yard
touchdown catch that gave the Steelers the lead late in
the fourth quarter. Friarmuth had been struggling not only to
produce statistically, but just to see snaps on the field
in recent weeks, so this breakout performance of the season
(39:55):
was a welcome development for the team, even if it
didn't ultimately result in the victory. It's likely wide receive
Kavin Austin the third will be back for the Packers
on Sunday Night Football this week. But even if that's
the case, hopefully the tight ends and Friarmouth in particular's
production and usage starts to become.
Speaker 4 (40:09):

Things like crossed arms headshakes, which all signal defensiveness that
can be a subconscious tell I.
Speaker 6 (00:33):
Have a problem with the folded arms thing. And it's
not really because I'm lying or anything. It's just like,
I don't know what to do with my arms.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Feels weird to just have.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
Them down at my sides, Like if I think about
it too much.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, you know, I do that.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
More when I am.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Just like as a way to just kind of get
comfortable with yourself and just kind of lean back and
be like, all right, well, what is this conversation?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, I think when I'm in the folded arms thing,
I'm like, wrap it up, Brandy Bellman and the DV
Morning Show. My arms are not folded right now. I
am open arms. As I tell you that. This week's

Speaker 5 (01:36):
It is the DV morning show. Randy is off today,
same with Mike Pursuita. We've got Kevin Gorman in for
sports Bill Crawford. I'm Abby Krisner. Our producer is Jacob
Wrecked News. This hour is brought to you by Better
Call Sai. It is cloudy today with a high of
fifty nine and pretty bold. Here a gang of thieves
pulled off a daytime raid at the Louver in Paris,
(02:00):
breaking in via a first floor window, using a lift
and an angle grinder, and making off with eight historic
Crown jewels in just under seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It sounds like some Oceans eleven stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
It's pretty insane, but according to former FBI art crime
specialist Tim Carpenter, the operation appears to have been meticulously planned.
The robbers targeted prized pieces linked to French royalty and
may melt the treasures or extract gems to bypass tracking.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Wow, which makes.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Sense because I'm wondering, like what pawn shop are you
walking into with that?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, Like, we don't have the budget to deal with
that kind of crime.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
We need this, But I didn't think a crime like
this could even happen now, especially with how many people
traffic or you know, go to the louver on a
day to day basis, with all of these security cameras
all over the place.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Same thing.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
There's cameras everywhere everywhere. So this is how they did it.
Apparently three to four people used a furniture elevator that
was on a truck, so this was like on a
like an outside window to the loof, which I.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Was like the loof as like an outside window, right.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
And then they got in and they used an angle grinder,
and again.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Where you have to have an angle grinder.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Everyone knows steel.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Crowns without an angle grinder.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Every bat it knows.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
But again, they had vests that made them look like
they were workers. And then as soon as they were
able to get what they wanted, they escaped on motorcycles
and then the museum was evacuated and closed for the day.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I feel like, you know, just after coming back from Dublin,
didn't you feel like it was so lax from a
security standpoint. I remember at one point in the weekend
and thinking to myself and saying out loud to multiple people,
where are the cops. I don't even know what their
uniforms are. I don't know where they are. This place
is packed, every place is packed. I didn't even see
them in the streets.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I think I said that to you because.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I had the same feeling where, you know, Carson Street
on the south side was the only thing compare it
to because like Temple Bar I was trying to you
know that that's more of the tourist spot in Dublin,
and I was like, this is like, you know, the
Carson Street, but it was it was nothing like there
was very little vehicular traffic, but there was enough where
(04:38):
if you weren't paying attention, you're probably gonna.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Get that car.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah, but you know, that was That's always the thing
I daydream about with Carson Street, as I would, you know,
I would think it would be so much safer if
we could just like, you know, also not have cars
going up and down. You know, that would just make
things a lot easier, But at the same time, I
kept thinking, like, how is this happening? There's not a
hop in sight?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Why is why?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Why are all these people so calm? And how are
they this drunk and nothing's happening and there's no cops anywhere.
But I agree with you. That was one of my
bigger takeaways. I'm like, I don't even know what a
Dublin cop looks like.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
You know what, I've found out what their cop cars
look like, and that was maybe the reason why I
was like, where are all the cops? Their cop cars
are very fun colored, like it's it's like this weird,
crazy geometrical shaped design on the side of the cars
(05:38):
and it's all bright colors and it almost looks like
they're construction workers or traffic workers or something.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Like they don't look like cops at all.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Like balloon animals on the side, Like yeah, right, it's good.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yeah, they got the shag and wagon. Yeah, it's just
a big furry dog they're driving around in.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
As a huge guinness on the side, Like I want
to get in there.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But I guess, you know, it's just not that their
cops don't have guns.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, the funniest thing.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
And I keep saying it to everybody whenever I'm asked
about Dublin is something that you told me whenever I
think you asked somebody, Hey, well, what happens when somebody
does get a little too drunk whenever, like, you know,
somebody's on the street and they're you know, maybe a
little unruly or maybe they they you know, they're a
little two in the bag. What happens when somebody needs
(06:29):
to get out of here? Like what do you do
when there's not a lot of cops on the road?
And somebody said, oh, you just move them along? It's it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
He's like, that sounds so nice.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Sounds so sweet.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Because there were kids all up and down the streets
drinking wine and beers, just sitting down, not in a bar.
And I found out that they would go to grocery
stores or wherever sold the alcohol, get their own because
it was cheaper, and just go where the bar area was,
sit on the curb and drink their drinks. And there's
(07:02):
no law there against public intoxication or open container or
anything like that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Kind of incredible, there's just.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
No uh wow, I mean I think that that's what
happens when you've been around for thousands of years and
you're sort of like the wily old vet in terms
of being a country.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, you know, you're not such a newbie like we
are in this country.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Forget we're such a baby.
Speaker 7 (07:29):
I mean, it's been twenty plus years since I've been Ireland,
but I also don't remember a lot of people going
to the pub and drinking and then driving anywhere. They
pretty much just walked home, right Like I think. I
think that's a big part of it, is like when
you just move them along, it's like you don't have
to worry about them getting in a car and being a
danger to others on themselves.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, it's a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, stumble back to wherever you came.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
From exactly, which there will be a lot of walking
as well. When it comes to trick or treating, which
is closer than we think here. The city announced this
year's dead designated trick or treat hours. People are encouraged
to host trick or treat on October thirty first, from
five thirty to seven thirty.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I'm assuming our neighborhood's going to do Halloween.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Proper, although I was just told that like a friend
of ours is having trick or treat like this coming weekend,
and we I don't understand it at all because I'm like,
when when Halloween's coming up on a Friday, Yeah, why
are we?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Why are we moving anything around for it?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But are you doing like a trunk or treat like in.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Park Your neighborhood is just bumping it up a weekend.
So I'm not sure that.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
They sports people because if they are like those au leagues,
don't care about your schedule whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
No, they don't.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
And maybe it's like that the adults are just kind
of like, yeah, I have plans, so we're going to
move this up, but regardless.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
Like you can't have Halloween on high school football Friday.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I guess not.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That's probably what it is for a lot of families.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Okay, I didn't consider that.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
But the point is that now they've invited us to
go and get a bonus Halloween, which I might do.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
How do you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
I think it's terrible, But I also might do it
for my kid, just because she was already kind of
the mindset of this is still the timeframe she's nine
years old, where Halloween is still super exciting.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, And so she wanted to.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Have me do her makeup last night as a test
run because she wanted to remind me that she might
not like how I do it and that she would
like to see how I plan on doing it so
that we don't come up on Halloween night and then.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
She's going to have some corrections she would like me
to make and we won't have time to fix.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Them's audition basically a practice run in Yeah, and we
did that, and I like did her eyeliner and everything,
and you know, trying to do eyeliner on a nine
year old is like I might as well be trying
to do it on a cat. And so she's like
moving and going like I don't get into that, and
then had the audacity to then take a look at
(10:11):
it and go, you know, it's a little crooked.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
And I was like, why do you think it's crooked?
Like when you're backing up, and like you know, she's like, Okay,
I'll try it again. So we went through like the
test run and guys, I passed. So I'm really excited
about that.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
But I'm a driver at this point. I'm just I'm
the uber the pickup and drop off.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I just remember I never really cared for Halloween a
whole lot, and I think a lot of it is
because I was traumatized as a child. My my mother
one year made me a cardboard box painted black and
made it into pac Man and it was for like
a school contest, and I did well on the contest.
But the problem was the box was so wide that
you couldn't make armholes. It's like I couldn't use a
(10:59):
treaty for the take my arms out, Like it was
just basically over my shoulders. So I couldn't use it
as a for anything other than the contest. So remember, like,
you know, so I probably went for a football player
as a football player for like the eighth year in
a row. But I remember like thinking like, oh, this
thinks like the best costume I ever had. I couldn't.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah, I miss I missed those early days with the girls.
I mean here in Pittsburgh, like the weather is usually trash,
it's cold, you know, And I just remember back in
the day when my daughters were both doing the princess
thing and they're in their princess dresses but they have
their winter coats on over it. And we're walking up
and down the street and it's like sleet and but
(11:43):
but I really miss it now. I only have my
sister and her kids to kind of still get a
little bit of that magic with. We walk around, uh,
their neighborhood and I go trigger treating with them because
my my girls are either one done with it, Like
Kennedy's a senior, she's not going out for Halloween. She's
going to Halloween parties now, which is terrifying. Yeah, and
(12:04):
then Emma is just you know, still will go out
and you know, kind of dress up a little bit,
but they're doing their own thing, like they don't want
me around, you.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Know, also terrifying.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Yeah, so that's terrifying, heartbreaking and all that.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yeah, I think this is like we kind of started
very early with always doing family costumes, but it was
before Edie would have been sentient enough to know that
we were doing family costumes. So we always did really
elaborate and super so we would yeah, pick like Disney
families and like you know, we did like Little Mermaid
(12:40):
one year, and we did Tangled one year.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And didn't you guys do did you guys do Beauty
in the Beast or no.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We didn't do Beauty in the Beast.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
We did cats one year, but like the Broadway cats
and so like, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You wouldn't have loved that.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
No, no, no, no, Joe didn't know you know what,
I take it back, Joe did kind of like it.
There was a year she wanted to be Hello Kitty,
and so we did. Like then we were like a
doughnut and a strawberry, you know, as the parents with
her like so we always tried to like, you know,
make it so that we were coordinated in whatever way.
But as she's gotten older, she's dictated what the costume
(13:19):
has been because she's become less flexible. The problem is
is that every year what she wants to be is
less and less tangible because again, one of the big
buzzwords that we, you know, use on the show is
that there's no monoculture anymore. Where we don't have a monoculture.
So because of that, she's picking like anime characters from
(13:40):
a show that.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
No one's ever seen too much. Yeah, nobody knows what
that is. And so now this.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Year, certainly not any of the older people that are
answering the door, because you know, that would be a
thing growing up. I remember for Halloween, like the people
that were answering the door would guess like what you were?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
No, not at all.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
And everybody, ever, every kid wants to be somebody from
K Pop Demon Hunters, which is also like kind of.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
In that world of anime.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
So she's not gonna be like super far out of
like that wheelhouse, but she's gonna be far out enough
that I think she's gonna find herself completely enraged that
everybody's going to think that she's a character from K
Pop Demon Hunters that they just don't remember. And when
she comes home, I guarantee she's gonna be fuming, devastated.
(14:31):
But she still wants the whole family to be this
anime family from this it's called Spy Family, but it's anime.
It's not Spy Kids Spy Family. The funny thing is
that she's a very cute, little pink haired anime character.
And then she showed me what the rest of the
family looks like. The mom in this family looks like
(14:55):
a character from the Matrix, but she's wearing like a
choker and then like a Dominatrix outfit, and I was like, Mom,
I looked at it, and I was like, eightie, I
can't wear that, and she said why not?
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And I said, well, the daddies on the street are
not gonna like that. Well, actually, the daddy's on the
street are gonna like that, and that's why we can't
do that.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
And I said, if we get yeah, like if we
get separated, that's gonna be a really big problem for
the mommies on the street too. That's not gonna be okay.
So we had to look up a different version of
that mom. She has a daytime outfit, and that's what
we're gonna do.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, exactly, just be like.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
But there was an article here about like Halloween trends
and saying, like, you know how much you would spend
on a costume. There's kind of an average here that
if you celebrate with kids, you are spending about four
hundred and forty five dollars on average. Oh really, which
is I don't know, you think that's a lot, or.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Yeah, I think that's a ton. I don't ever spend
a ton on Halloween. I mean obviously, like over the
years building up like our decorations and stuff, or if
we host a party, that's another whole expense.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But just on the costumes. We don't ever go over
fifty bucks.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I feel like every costume at Spirit Halloween is reasonably priced.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
They yeah, they generally are.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I was hoping taking her to Spirit Halloween was going
to actually cure this idea of going like basically what
ends up being.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
One stop shop, it's all right here.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Well, I wanted her to just see the potential for
group costumes and just be like, oh my god, that's
so much funnier.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Let's do that.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I'm on, We're Ghostbusters. It's perfect proch on packs for
the whole family.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
I remember buying my son, I think it was Party
City or somewhere like that, but buying him, you know,
a mask in hands and just a cape and being like, okay,
we're going on the cheap here. And the last thing
we bought was a voice changer, and that was that
was priceless. I might he spent ten bucks on it
or whatever, but you know, he'd go to the door
and he had a different voice, you know, monster voice
(17:20):
or a ghoal voice, and he could flip a switch
and change the voice so they could go robot voice,
it could be Yeah, So it was like ten bucks
or fifteen bucks. I was like, it was the best
I ever spent and he used it every year for
like a three or four year span. So the other
thing that I bought, which was a lifesaver, I remember
having to pick my son up at after school daycare
and then going to his friends for trick or treating,
and I stopped at a dollar store on a rainy
(17:42):
night and bought like a dozen clear ponchos. So all
the kids put the clear plastic ponchos over and you
could still see their costumes. And that was like, that
was you know, I came up and saved the day
on that one. That was yeah, And that cost me
what ten bucks or twelve bucks when they were dollar ponchos.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
But you never forget it. I was a dad, never
win the clutch. This is like my Jordan flu game.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
It is going to be cloudy today, kind of can't
rule out that we might have a shower, but we're
hopefully going to get some peaks of sunshine.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
High fifty nine today it is.

Ford f series A Name You'll Remember. They're the best

Speaker 6 (18:48):
And morning show Randy and Mike have the day Off,
Bill Crawford, Abby Krisner, Jacob bret Our producer in studio,
and Kevin Gorman has been hanging all morning doing sports
for us.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
We do appreciate you, keV.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Well, there is going to be a Game seven in
the ALCS. The Toronto Blue Jays forced game six. Beat
the Seattle Mariners six to last night and behind the
pitching of rookie right hander Trey Y Savage. Great story.
Twenty two year old started the season in low A,
made it to the majors on September fifteenth. Had a
(19:20):
I think credible. I think he had an eleven strikeout
performance in the playoffs already this year, had eight ks
in his major league debut. Has had a really outstanding
season for them. Last night went five and two third innings,
two runs on six hits, and three walks with seven k's,
but more importantly, three consecutive innings that ended with ground
(19:42):
into double plays, including one in the third with the
bases loaded in al MVP favorite cal Rawley at the
plate got him the ground into a three six one,
which is kind of a rare double play.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
There, and he's been on a tear like to get
a player like the big Dumper out in that situation
is big.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
And he hit a home run to tie the game.
In Game five or Game four or five, he had
a home run to tie the game and then a
Suarez hit a grand Slam and they won six to two.
And that one, I believe the Mariners did this one.
He got three consecutive vlad Guerrero hit a solo shot
(20:19):
in the sixth and the fifth inning for his six
home run of the postseason, which tied Joe Carter and
Jose Bautista for the most by a Blue Jay in
a single playoff run. They will play tonight at eight
oh eight pm at the Rogers Center in Toronto. Winner
faces the Los Angeles Dodgers, who completed a four game
sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers thanks to that historic performance
by NLCSMBP show, heo tawny.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And you think the Jays are going to do it
tonight close him off.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
I feel like the Jays have the advantage. I think
it's gonna be tough to keep Rawleigh down. I think
he had three strikeouts in the double play last night.
I don't think you're going to get another performance like that.
He also had an error. You're not going to get
another poor performance out of cal Rawley. But I feel
like vlad garrel on a tear, and they have the
pitching edge with Shane Bieber, a former Cy Young Winner
on the mound and a three time Young Winner, Max
(21:07):
Schers are in the bullpen, and there's a guy with
some serious playoff history, so they have a little bit
of an advantage on the mound so and as well
as the home field advantage. So I think that favors
the Blue Jays. And I'm sure Major League Baseball wouldn't
mind having an East Coast team in the World Series
facing the Dodgers, so that they're have to really kind
of throw a wrench into the schedule with a Seattle
(21:28):
LA series, which would be that would be tough for them.
You know, the Steers playing Sunday Night against the Green
Bay Packers. Steelers four and two with Aaron Rodgers facing
his former team, which is four one on one. And
that's the big The big storyline there is the defense
is Jerry Dulak mentioned the Steelers allowed one hundred and
forty two rushing yards four in their seventy total yards
(21:50):
and that Thursday night loss at Cincinnati thirty three, thirty
one loss. So the Steeers have to really shut that down.
Chase Brown, you know, came into the game averaging two
point seven yards per carryovers first six games average nine
point eight against the Steelers, I.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Mean, the worst rushing team in the league.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
That's all we heard about this team going into that
game was that they just cannot run the ball.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
And the Steelers that we were just talking about off
air Bill. The Steelers had I think what the twenty
first pick, and they drafted Derek Harmon to address their
defensive line, passed on Jackson Dart who supplanted Russell Wilson
as the starter for the New York Giants.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Losing all our compensatory picks, everybody's getting bench.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
And the New York Jets bench justin fields. At halftime
of their thirteen to six loss against the Carolina Panthers.
He was six of twelve for forty six yards, took
three sacks in the first half, sacked nine times for
and produced minus ten yards net yards passing against Denver
the week before, Field signed a guaranteed thirty million dollar contract,
(22:49):
but averaged only one hundred forty one yards over six games.
He missed one with a concussion. He was benched despite
not throwing any interceptions. The Jets became only the second
team in a decade to hold opponents to thirteen points
or fewer and back to back games and lose both games,
and Fields was averaging four yards fewer than four yards
per attempting those those games. A matchup of former and
(23:12):
current Penguins goaltenders Tristan Jarry won that showdown. Sidney Krosbin
of getting Belcom both had a goal and assist against
Alex n delkovic Is. The Penguins beat the senes A
Sharks three nothing. On Saturday. Jari had thirty one saves
for his first shutout of the season, twenty second of
his career, all with the Penguins. That moves him into
a second place tie all time in franchise history with
(23:36):
Tom Barrasso WRK. Andre Fleury has forty four. Barasso had
twenty two. So that's pretty incredible given the ups and
downs of Jari's career. Yeah, you know, this is a
guy who's been a multi time All Star for the
Penguins but has also been benched in favor of Ned.
So the Penguins four and two face the Vancouver Cannucks
four and two, both teams at eight points in that
(23:57):
game seven PM on Tuesday, Pitt one it's third straight game.
Penn State dropped its fourth consecutive. The Panthers hoops team
rallied in one against Providence and exhibition game maybe won
seventy four, and the Panthers women's volleyball team pulled off
a five set win at Louisville yesterday. That was a
rematch of the twenty twenty four final four. Olivia Babcock
(24:21):
had thirteen kills in the fourth set, forty one for
the match. That's a program record, So big victory for
the Panthers there.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Yeah, their volleyball team is ridiculous. I was I caught
onto that last year. My girlfriend and her kids love volleyball,
and Pitt went on an incredible run, as did Penn State,
and I was hoping to kind of see that matchup
in the final.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Pit lost in the semi, I believe to Louisville.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yeah, and Louisville it has only lost in the last
few years five matches at home wo and you know,
pithanded them one. So that's a big victory for the Panthers.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Did you catch the James Franklin interview on game day
over the weekend, because I was shocked that he did
the interview this close after being fired.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
Todd McShay, who's been a vocal critic of James Franklin,
kind of called it on brand and strategic and and
you know, self ser his message out, Yeah, get his
message out there. But I also thought that James Franklin
took the high road and kind of represented they did
Penn State in the same class that he represented Penn
State during his entire tenure as the Ninny Lions coach.
As a former Pen State, Penn State alum, as somebody
(25:31):
who's covered the Penn State football team, I thought he
did a great job there. He just didn't win the
big games, and you put himself in a position where
that was all he had left to do was win
the big games. They didn't do it, and then they
lost the bad games. I think people were willing to
give him, you know, the white out loss in overtime
to Oregon. People were kind of willing to overlook that one,
(25:51):
as much as that was a heartbreaker. But then to
follow that up by losing games where you were favored
by twenty plus points at UCLA and against Northwest turn
and now to Iowa and Terry Smith's debut as interim coach,
that one was a little tougher to swallow. That this
is a Penn State team that had national championship aspirations
and so very conflicted there because I liked the way
(26:13):
James Franklin represented the program. But I also think like
you take the program to a certain level and then
it becomes about getting it past that. Like he got
them national semi finals last year and were within a
few plays of making it to the National championship game,
and now here he is fired in the middle of
a season.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Yeah, that's what coach Saban was talking to him about, basically,
that he was the He ended up being the victim
of the expectations that he set.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
For Penn State.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
I mean, coming into this season rank number one overall
probably didn't help in terms of a pressurized situation for him. Yeah,
but I don't think anybody saw this, But apparently in
the couple of articles that I read about it, they
were talking about the playoff last year and said that
the wins just weren't impressive enough. They weren't against you know,
(27:04):
marquee big name teams.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
I think he was four and eighteen against or four
and twenty one.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
What Boise State and Smure in twenty one against top
ten opponents and one in eighteen against big ten.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
The record was not good against top tier opponents. And
that's that's why guys in that position get fired. It's
not about the overall, it's about how you do against
Ohio State and Michigan and other teams like Notre Dame.
Can you beat the teams that are your roadblock to
a national championship.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
But he's still the biggest name in the coaching market, Like,
you know, there's so job Hell, yeah, there are so
many teams that would love to have him.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Is that you know.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Lazy Susan spins in twenty twenty five, like Arkansas, UCLA.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, Florida just fired their coach.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
I mean there's gonna be teams that are gonna make
way for somebody like Franklin to come in. I'm just
curious if you think he's good enough to go somewhere
else and win a national champion And that's what he's
his stated.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Goal, that's what he said. He said, I'm gonna I'm
gonna have to go win a national championship somewhere else.
And his complaint all along, which is I think kind
of caused Penn State fans to turn on him a
little bit, was that they didn't have the facilities that
some other programs have, and they didn't have the NIL
money that some other programs have. And they stepped up
with the nil money this past offseason to retain some players,
(28:29):
you know, most notably their two running backs k Tron
Allen and Nick Singleton and the quarterback drule are And
so that's the thing is he's going to have schools
that are going to have those resources that he had
to fight against to get at Penn State. He's going
to have those resources, and it's a matter whether he
can deliver on his end, you know, providing a program
that can win those big games like he didn't do
(28:51):
it Penn State, and so we'll see whether it's the
chicken and the egg argument. We'll see whether it's the
nil and the lack of facilities, or if it's the
guy who doesn't come up in big games.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
keV, great job this morning. Thanks so much for coming
in and hanging with us all morning. We appreciate it.
All right, we got one more break before we get
out of here. It is the DVE Morning Show. I've
been trying to win the thousand dollars as long as
conduct has been gone.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
I'm listening to DVE every day.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Congratulations to Shane from Pittsburgh. He's the latest winner of
a thousand bucks in workforce cash.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
We'll give you the keyword at the top of.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The hour nine am through nine pm.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Thirteen times a day.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Enter it at DV dot com and you could win
a thousand bucks in workforce cash. That is off come
from one O two point five DV.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It's Max Starks for my friends. I clearly it is
the DV Morning Show. Mike and Randy have the day
off today.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Bill Crawford, Abby Krisner, Kevin Gorman hanging in studio licking
our wounds here, trying to figure out where we go
next with the Steelers didn't have any games to watch
on Sunday, as far as the Steeler game did watch
some of the rest of the league play some absolutely
(30:04):
crazy performances, including Toua getting benched, Justin Fields getting benched,
Gino Smith getting benched, and then Kenny Pickett coming in
and fumbling on.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
The first play from scrimmage.
Speaker 8 (30:19):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Jackson, Dart and bo Nicks going at it in the
fourth quarter out there in Denver, Denver, I think you said, keV.
You shared this stat earlier, the first team to score
thirty three points in the fourth quarter after being shut
out through the first three.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
Yes, and also they snapped an NFL streak of oney
six and two consecutive games were won by the team
that was leading by eighteen points in the final six minutes. Man,
So pretty much, if you had it, if you had
an eighteen point lead in the final six minutes, it
was a guaranteed victory until yesterday.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
And you saw players walking off the field, Brian Burns
most notably, absolutely pissed off at the defense that was
being called. So it comforts me a little bit when
I see other teams out there shaking their head, being disgruntled,
being pissed off at the game plan or the scheme
(31:21):
that they decided to trot out there at the end
of the game, I guess they were playing soft coverage
and just let the Broncos march down the field and score.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I think that's the one thing you can take away
from the week if you think about if you isolated
just a Thursday and you say, oh my god, the
Steelers were awful defensively, and then you take a look,
take a step back and see what happened around the
rest of the NFL and say, well, you know, Joe
Flacco's won a Super Bowl and the Bengals arguably have
the two best receiverers best receiver tandem in the league
(31:50):
with Chase Higgins. So you can look at that and say, okay,
justifiable that if you look at it strictly from that standpoint,
and not that the Steelers have the highest paid defense
in the NFL and that they went out and got
Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay and drafted Derek Carmon over
Jackson Dark. Yeah, if you look at it strictly from hey,
look at the opponent as opposed to well, this didn't
(32:11):
happen to the Steelers against bo Nicks, and the Steelers
didn't have to resort to throwing in a backup quarterback
who kind of made even a bigger mess of things,
or they don't have a coach who has no answers.
You know that Tomlin has faced adversity and he's going
to come up with a scheme better than this that
the next time they faced the Bengals. So, like I
think it, maybe it brings a little more clarity, although
(32:33):
it's not going to leave you any less upset.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
Do you think that they've actually are capable of figuring
out the run game because they had that three game
stretch there where they stopped the run, but one of
those games was against the Patriots where they were forcing turnovers.
It seems like every time they're running back touched the
ball and that kind of ended the run game there.
The Patriots just stopped even trying to run it. And
(32:57):
then you're going up against the Vikings in Dublin, and
they're not known for their power running in they also
have one of the best wide receiver tandems in the league,
and so they wanted to air it out against the Steelers.
Do you think that that problem has ever actually been solved, Well,
they haven't solved. Like you know, I remember when the
(33:19):
Steelers had streaks where that nobody ran for a hundred
yards as a team on the Steelers and no players
ran for one hundred yards and that's long gone. So
just the Steelers have been getting getting gouged. Yes, super
Bowl champion stuff. That's the Super Bowl champion teams did that.
The thing that I could see changing and I think
it's going to leave not only fans upset, but some
(33:40):
players are going to be upset is they were running.
At some point the Steelers had three outside linebackers on
the field and that was for pass rush purposes. So somebody,
and it's not gonna be TJ. Watt, somebody is going
to be an unhappy camper, whether it's Nick Herbig or
Alex high Smith, is not going to be on the
field with the other outside linebackers. If they're going to
sell out to stop the run. And I don't know
(34:01):
that they're going to sell out. They may just make
adjustments to the scheme, but to some degree you need
to kind of come up with who who is going
to be your run stopper, you know. To me the
guy that I'm still kind of trying to figure out
where he fits and whether he's as good as advertised
or is as good as he's being paid as Patrick Queen,
you know, is this the guy that's the centerpiece of
(34:22):
your defense or not? You know, is he going to
be a Pro Bowl caliber inside linebacker?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
And he had two.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Terrific games before that game on Thursday night. I don't
think anybody on the defense really had a great game. No,
And just the way that the Steelers somehow manifested that
game that Joe Flacco had from a million miles away,
letting him pass all over us. I felt like the
Browns game on Sunday was just the Browns manifesting their
(34:50):
own brownsing it up versus the Steelers, because their game
plan was to drop their rookie quarterback back fifty eight
times and not run the ball, which they had been
doing efficiently and did again this weekend against Miami.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Jenkins looked like he went.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Off, Yeah yesterday, he's good. Having covered the Steelers in
the second half of the season last year. From the
Monday night football game against the Giants on I think
it's better that this happened in the first six games
of the season rather than at the end when the
Steelers would be trying to figure out something on the
fly as they're trying to clinch a playoff spot and
(35:30):
playoff seating. I think this is something that's correctable, and
whether it's correctable that you address it by signing a
player or adding somebody the trade deadline, or just getting
people healthy and making, you know, adjustments as Jerry Dulex suggested,
which is more likely that they're not going to go
wholesale and add another guy, but I could see them
(35:51):
making some type of an adjustment that it's going to
leave somebody unhappy but might be better for the overall
health of the defense. But they've got to get it
figured out, because when you have guys like and Slay,
who are NFL veterans and have had a lot of
success in this league get exposed the way that they did,
you know, that's that's there's there's a lot of problems.
It's not just that, you know, because these guys can cover.
(36:12):
They didn't cover very well against you know, especially against Chase,
but nobody covers Chase well. I mean, Chase is he's phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
But when he's breaking records his own record, but still
he's breaking records for receptions and they're targeting him twenty
three times, something.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Is a miss, like why you're not shading coverage to
that side or double teaming him from the the gate.
And I understand that they have two great receivers, but
just take one of them away.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
Well, the Steeers have some great defensive players, Cam Hayward
and TJ. Watt, you know, most prominently, the Steeers aren't
going to bench them. So I have a feeling that
it's going to fall on the guys who didn't product
produce on the opposite sides of them that are going
to be under the pressure. That's just my take is
it's not going to come down as like, well, we're
not going to use what in Hayward in the same
(37:03):
roles that they're going to remain in those rules, So
it's going to come down on somebody else. And that's
where I think you're going to see some changes, even
if it's just a matter of it may not be
major changes in terms of somebody losing their starting job,
but you may see them get you know, significantly or
slightly less naps.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Abby, Where is our mental health and emotional wellness at
right now?
Speaker 5 (37:23):
I want you to take a deep breath and ground
your feet to the floor and remember that you are

morning still grateful because he's from Kawaii, and he remembers
that every day is a gift. Big deep breath in
and remember that. The game day bar of the week
(37:45):
is fun Days in South Park. Fun Days gives you
a chance to grab three dollars bud Light sixteen ounce
aluminum bottles during all Steeler games.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Bud Light, easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
The Steelers will stop the run Sunday night. All right,
I think that's good. I think we're good. Thank you
so much.

Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
The Steelers fought a four and two on the season
thanks to the thirty three to thirty one Thursday night
football loss of the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals. One
silver lining though for the team and the loss, was
the production of the tight ends and the Steelers' offense
is passing.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Game one hundred and.
Speaker 8 (39:23):
Forty one of quarterback Aaron rodgers two hundred and forty
nine passing yards went to tight ends against Cincy, and
all four of Rogers' touchdown passes on the evening were
to a tight end.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Johnny Smith and Darnell Washington.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
Both caught a touchdown a piece from their quarterback, but
it was Pat Fryarmouth who led the way in the
receiving department. He caught five balls on six targets for
a team leading one hundred and eleven receiving yards, and
he also had two touchdowns, including the sixty eight yard
touchdown catch that gave the Steelers the lead late in
the fourth quarter. Friarmuth had been struggling not only to
produce statistically, but just to see snaps on the field
in recent weeks, so this breakout performance of the season
(39:55):
was a welcome development for the team, even if it
didn't ultimately result in the victory. It's likely wide receive
Kavin Austin the third will be back for the Packers
on Sunday Night Football this week. But even if that's
the case, hopefully the tight ends and Friarmouth in particular's
production and usage starts to become.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
More of a trend. I'm Tom Opraman with the Steelers Report.
