Speaker 1 (00:00):
Elementary schools get mixed together, so your friend groups all

(00:03):
kind of get smushed around and and busted up and
everything like that. And uh, yeah, I remember having a
rough time with with middle school too.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Were you able to lock in with your son? Like
why because you went through it? Yeah, like the fact, yes,
where that comes from?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Results, I don't know if I walked in where it
came from, because he's I don't know why, Like he's
already like a Vietnam vet, Like he's like, I don't
want to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
You'll talk about it with others, but yeah, if.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
He has a bad dream or someone like, what's your
bad dreams? Like is I I'd rather not say. I'd
really rather not reiterate what happened to the verse again,
whatever the joker did to me and my stuffed animals
in my dream.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I don't want anyone to reiterate that at all.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Frendy Bellman and the DVF.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
Concole he'll be joining us here coming up at six
forty five today. You know there are kids that do
have that they like the embody the same sort of
qualities as like and all personal soul just right away,
And it does make you wonder.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
About the whole idea of you.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
Know, past lives or shared energy, however you want to
describe it. And that is like more in vogue now
than maybe I've ever realized in the past. And it's
probably just because social media. Everyone's finding their their group
of people right now. But I do know some people
who are kind of caught up in the whole idea
of portals and jumping into other uh timelines and reincarnation

(01:34):
and all that kind of stuff simultaneous spider verse.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Seriously, I'm seeing it a lot too. Every version of
you is out there.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah, but I wonder what the commonality is amongst all
those versions, you know what I mean, the essence, what
the aura spirit? Like, how would you know the Bill
Crawford and the other one you know in the you know,
second dimension versus the fifth dimension, and would.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Be changes or that significant.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
The string theory is like, it's such a slight and
subtle change.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
It's a choice here, a choice there, sliding doors.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Yeah, it's like a butterfly effect of a different path.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
And so you're still the same person. But do the
Steelers have a better defense in the other DIMENSI I
don't know. They probably still can't stop the run.

Speaker 7 (02:30):
Over the.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Obviously we are dimension dificient, obviously.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Right now, obviously we're universe capable, multi flexible.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
You know, my sister's kids, all three of.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
Them are old souls in their own way that my
niece Josephine loved sandwiches from the age of like three on.
And I'm not talking about just like, oh, she's eating sandwiches,
like a subway sandwich with the works. Like this girl's
ordering banana peppers and and.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Creamy ranch and mayo and like she can do it all.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
And dips and she's eating amas and it's it's wild.
And then my nephew Bus, he dresses himself and he
come down in like a three quarters zip up and
like a tie. And one time we're at Shartier's Country
Club and I'm like, Bus looks like he belongs here
independently of everybody else, like he's just this little adult.

(03:35):
And then I was out with my other nephew, James,
over the weekend. We're having dinner at Totopo. My dad
was watching the boys and we're sitting there and this
was his small talk. He goes, hey, uncle Bo, what's
your favorite medicine. I'm like my wife and he's like,
I love Motrin, and I'm like, I just started cracking up.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
I never have thought about it. I mean, diamond TAP's
not bad.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Where did you learn how to small talk?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
She'd ask you your doctor if motrin's right for you.
You tried to sky Rizzy Uncle Bill?

Speaker 8 (04:15):
You know.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Speaking of Mexican restaurants, last night, I had my first
gobble Rito of the year, and I have.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
To tell you, dude, don't sleep on the gobble Rito.
Don't let a season go by and you forgot to
go get one or eight. They are tremendous. I mean
every single I don't know how they do it. First
of all, it's the best. It's like the best tasting
Thanksgiving dinner.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
It really is.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's not like the stuffing is awesome, the turkey is amazing,
but the gravy is ridiculously good. And I don't know
how you get restaurant gravy that good, but they did.
By the way, it's not a paid advertisement. It's just no,
it sounds like it.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
Yeah, no, I know that you have a love for it,
and it also kind of sounds like it should be
on Urban Dictionary A little.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Bit gablerito, Yeah, yeah, it does. She gave me the
old gobble rito. You know what I mean, right, yeah,
fifty akin.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Yeah, it is amazing. It's so damn good. And I
think they serve all the way through Thanksgiving and it
was like I couldn't finish the whole thing. I mean
I could have.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
I chose not to finish the whole thing just because
I thought it was gonna sit in my stomach like
a rock because.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
It's it's a lot. It's a lot, but holy cow,
so good and it really kicked fall in for me.
Now it's cold. I had a gobble rito. All the
flannels are out, the sweaters are ready to go. Uh
Sunday night football in the Berg. It's gonna be freezing.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Two teams who, despite the fact that they're not in
the same conference, are not gonna like each other because
the quarterback hates his former team.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
I don't care what Aaron says. He's going to be
very diplomatic this week, and I don't care what they say.
This is a big revenge games.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
Floor hates him well, Floor absolutely, and they want to
impress upon him and the rest of the league that
they made the right choice moving on.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
From him exactly. So yeah, there's no doubt about that.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Although Jordan Love really loves Aaron Rodgers, he just thinks
the world of him, and Rogers really treated him well
when he came there because he didn't want to get farfd.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
He didn't want the way he got farved because Brett
was such a jag off to him. Brett was a
jack off, Breton jack off to everyone. Yeah, yeah, he's
a terrible person.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
There is a documentary on Netflix about him, and I
don't know what it is. It's like Untold or whatever.
It is, like the Brett Favre story, and it's all
about his time at the end of Green Bay and
all these rumors of his conduct way before the Jets
Jen Sturger thing and then her whole saga and that
whole story and said she never met him. She's never

(06:49):
met him to this day in person.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
So if you are one of the best quarterbacks in
the history of the sport and they make a documentary
about you, but it's all about what a jag off
you are, you have to be a colossal jag off.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Because he was that good of an NFL quarterback.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
I mean, and it goes all the way up to
him redirecting public funds for a welfare money, yes, for
his daughter's volleyball team. But the Jets sarger thing is
wild because she was like this influencer, like somebody saw
her a game. She's one of these girls that has
like this Pamela Anderson like trajectory where she's on the

(07:28):
jumbo tron. She's so good looking that Brent Musburger like
makes some kind of perverted comment about her, and then
she's like instantly famous, like that's how her career animates itself.
And then she's just doing stuff for the Jets, like
she's doing like social media stuff really before that stuff

(07:50):
got popular, like.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Just interviewing players and whatnot.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
And she's standing in the tunnel and they're all kind
of there, and then all of a sudden, she's getting
dms from like MySpace accounts or something like Facebook or
just alternate names, and the guy who's Brett is saying like, Hey,
I'm on the team, and I really thought you looked
good and I don't want to, you know, put my

(08:14):
information out there, but I'm one of the older players
on the team. When I got some saltan in my
pepper and my hair, you know, and I like to
maybe take you out sometime. And she's like, you're married,
and you I look like your wife. This is weird
and she's sick. And yeah, you just kept pressing scumback
and then the dpic came like that's wild. Yeah, you

(08:35):
don't even have it like a date with the person.
I mean, I guess these guys move fast.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Scum bad. He was in the hurry up. Yeah, but
that not not almost standing. The descendants in Green Bay
of far face each other Sunday Night. Aaron Rodgers, Jordan
love An eight twenty kickoff here on DV. Merril Hodge
joins us later today, PP commenter Mark and in more
Abbey's got a news up day free Now what soup is?

(09:02):
This hour? Brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Cloudy and breezy today, with a high of just fifty one,
A major Pittsburgh highway is expected to face temporary closures
in major delays today and Thursday to advance a major
bridge project. We've talked about this quite a few times,
but it's another day of beam deliveries for the Commercial
Street Bridge replacement, those deliveries.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Will hurt and tomorrow the beams.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Are expected to arrive between ten am and two pm.
Before those deliveries to occur, large trucks have to travel
on southbound I seventy nine, inbound on the Parkway West,
and inbound on the Parkway West to the plaza outside
of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. Westbound traffic will experience intermission
intermittent traffic stoppages as long as fifteen minutes near the

(09:52):
tunnel entrance to permit the trucks to cross lanes into
the work area. The arrival time is contingent depending on
at travel distance, route, traffic, and unforeseen obstacles, so you
should expect a lot of delays.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Today is the point that is wild.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
There's delays everywhere. There is construction. My my neighborhood and
everything around it has been torn up.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
I can't get.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Anywhere in the South Hills the way I know to
go because as soon as I head down one road,
they say closed.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
There's a guy there in a white there, yellow vest
going like that way. What is that? They're just replacing
all the water lines.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
I would imagine that's what it is, but I mean,
that's not so much. I don't think redding up for
the draft, you know what I mean now, Like it's
just coincidental, and it just makes the entire city feel
like it's completely torn up right now.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
And that bridge isn't either, Like that isn't going to
be done for a while. No, it's just crazy to.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
Me that they're ordering beams, Like you never think about that, Like, yeah,
of course you're building bridges, but then you're like, well,
we gotta get the beams here. They got to go through,
like if there's tunnel traffic when there's no game going on,
I mean, getting a beam through there is gonna create
massive issue.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Where do you buy the beam? I went to beams
or Us. They they were way too expense. Give me
the beam dot Com. And I went to the beam Palace.
Where's this down in the beam district?

Speaker 6 (11:12):
I went down to the beam depot. Ye got a couple,
Buy one, Get one.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Brian Gumble, the veteran journalist who co hosted Today for
fifteen years and anchored Real Sports, was taken by ambulance
Monday night from his New York City apartment following what
his family described as a medical emergency. As reported by
TMZ sources say paramedics arrived at nine pm, placed him
on a gurney, and transported him to a nearby hospital.
Although family members said the seventy seven year old is okay,

(11:40):
no specific details about his condition or what prompted the
emergency have been released.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
H Brian Gumble legend, no doubt about it. Yeah, I
forgot he was around. I thought he had Greg pass away.
I think Greg passed and Bryant lived.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yes, seventy seven kind of shock.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
I had no idea was that old. I mean, either
he was, but he's one of those ageless people. He
was on TV for so long. Yeah, and he was
real sports? Was that him?

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Yes, he was in real sports? And he also did
I think the NFL on NBC originally and then it
was on The Today Show obviously forever. But yeah, Greg
Gumbele is the one that passed, right, he had cancer. Yeah, yeah,
but and he was fairly young when he was a

(12:26):
younger brother, right, yeah, good age.

Speaker 8 (12:31):
But I don't know.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
I can't do the math. It's too early to do math.
But hopefully he's okay.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Lay's drastically is rebranding. Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Greg Gumble was seventy eight. By the way, seventy eight,
damn seventy eight. That doesn't seem right.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
No, they both looked really good, wow, really young all right.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Lays drastically is rebranding after a disturbing finding that forty
two percent of its customers didn't know their chip were
made of potatoes. That's market research that would have any
executive confused. But like a lot of food companies that
are making a shift away from artificial flavors and colors, Lays,
which is owned by PepsiCo, is responding to these findings

(13:15):
with what you can expect will be an all new look.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
So the next time you see Lays.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
In the near future, you might see new bags which
are modified and designed to look like wood planks potato
crates that will hold the chip with revamped ingredient lists.
And then the redesign is also supposed to incorporate a
new logo that looks like the sun, actual photos of
potatoes on the bags.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Here's my question to you, what does it matter? What
do you care with data?

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Who cares if the idiots don't know what it is?
And by the way, there's probably not a lot of
potato in the chap But what are they talking about
when they're saying revamping the ingredient licks list, Like are
they remixing it? Like we're gonna put the all percentage
up where the sugar percentage used to be.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
What the hell are they talking?

Speaker 5 (14:05):
I would think is actually the first thing you were
talking about, like less potato.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
But what what I mean, what do you pork? Like
what's chemicals?

Speaker 6 (14:15):
I don't know what it is, but I'm guessing that
it's not a ton of potato, Like it's not an
actual potato chip.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
I've been diluting myself into for the longest time to
stay away potato chips, and I'm still I know, laser good.
They're very good, gold salty as hell, very salty. There's
this kind called boulder now and they do there's an
avocado oil. Yeah, the nutritions, but well they originally have
non ridges, but they they really the problem is when
the frieman avocado oil like that, I mean, they just

(14:47):
got no real sturdiness to them. So you end up
having an entire huge bag of chips that is all
the bottom of a bag of chicks, you know what
I mean, It's all the schnitzels is all you get there,
and so it's hard to eat those with a sandwich
because you're just like grabbing dust and then.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Fingers and then those in there. It's like the crane.
It totally sucks.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
But I mean, you know, nutrition wise, they're supposed to
be way better for you, because I am a person
who can and does literally eat like six chips with
my lunch, because I that's that's insane. It's it is
a little sociopathic. I just I just I don't count
them out.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
But that's about Oh my god, I just storted onto
number four and I'm not on the second half of
sandmual chicks. Chips.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
Dude, dude, I just want to crunch. I want to
crunch with the bike. I'm not looking to eat a
lot of chips. It's about I need a crunch in there.
And as I hears the sound.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
Of wall, I cannot get behind a single digit chip intake.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
I just can't. I know, you're a bag of chip
come back, yeah, I know, But.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
Those Boulder chips, I'll just I'll just pour that bag
into my couch.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Take a handful, skip the mountain, take a handful.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
And then take another handful, and then maybe not a handful,
we'll see and then pinch your side fat go well
a gobble rito last night.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
I don't think that's what I mean in a matter,
but you know, it's just it's not even like something
that I'm being dainty about.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
It's just I'm not looking at a lot of chips.
I'm just I'm good with a couple. Now, I just
only eat. I picture you arranging them on your plate. Okay,
maybe I do. I mean, look, presentation is everything. It
fools your stomach. I'm just kidding. But Dorrito's. I can't
do just six doritos.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
If Dorrito's come out, the MSG starts cranking and forget it, dude,
that is I am the next thing.

Speaker 7 (16:53):
I know.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
I've emptied my ATM and yeah, I'm out in the streets.
Just put it on like exactly orange fingerprints on everything
in the house. I'm panhandling at all the intercessions. It
gets bad.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Yeah, you have to like wipe down all your light switches.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Why are your pants orange?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I start playing Goodbye Horses exactly. All right, We'll wrap

That's the best beer she's had in America.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
That she says tastes like an actual German beer is
anything from Penbrewery.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
So I had a bunch of that this past weekend. Well,
they get her to do like one of their campaigns. Man.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, I remember whenever I took her there for the
first time and she just was like, what the hell
I want? I want to speak to the manager, but
in a good way.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Right right, and I think inverted Karen.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
She told them.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
She was like you, I have to tell you.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
Well, you know that both Peen Brewery and Iron City
flew brewmeisters over from Germany and hired them.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Like did they really they got serious about their beer? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Yeah, the German gets Germans are getting back, getting a
reputation back.

Speaker 9 (19:45):

Speaker 3 (19:50):
And he's like what does the bedsticks.

Speaker 6 (19:54):

Speaker 10 (21:00):
But Bridgeville Applys Penguins were back at the PPG Paints
Serena last night, fresh from a two wins in three
tries West Coast trip, and their five to one victory
over the Canucks included another historic goal from Sidney Crosby.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Keeps knocking on the door. It's gonna get answered. Here's
Crosby Scots.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Nobody doesn't like shit, steals the pump, slips it from
the shut and.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
It's three one.

Speaker 10 (21:30):
TEUs Crosby's fourth goal of the year and one ninety
six career point regular regular season and playoffs combined passes
Mary O Lemieux, who had and ninety five.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Now cross guy in the building. I believe he was.

Speaker 10 (21:48):
I thought I saw some pictures on Twitter and the
Steelers were there. Yeah, Rogers and Mason McCormick and Zach Frasier.
Crosby has played more games than Lemieux four hundred and
twelve more games to be precise regular season of playoffs,
but Crosby has passed Mario Lemieux.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
That's crazy on both levels. Doesn't happen every night. Like
the fact that he passed.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
Him and the fact that it took him four hundred
and some more games.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
That's how good Lemieux was.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Well, yeah, I mean the different game and different skill
sets and no doubt about it, different players in a.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Lot of regards, Alem you the better player. Well, yes, yeah,
that's kind of I was trying to definitely say that. No, yeah,
sure he would agree. Uh well, letmuse le magnifie. You know,
he's one of maybe what three Yeah, And the NHL history,
you know what I mean, Like they did make they

(22:40):
didn't make a lot of them, but the fact that
he was in the building I think is big.

Speaker 10 (22:46):
Seventeenth player in NHL history was seven hundred career goals
regular season in playoffs is Sidney Crosby. Also Crystal Tang
with a couple of assists, became the fourth active defenseman
and twentieth all time to reach six hundred hell helpers
in his career. You know, all this historical stuff is
really cool, But Penguins played pretty well. Uh Art Tours

(23:08):
Sea Loves gave up a goal in the first shot,
probably probably had people uh having p TSD from last.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Year, but he didn't let it anymore. You know, there
were some good chances too. He made some good say
he did.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
He's a little scrambling, you know, he's kind.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Of swimming back there.

Speaker 10 (23:27):
Sometimes it doesn't he doesn't give me at least a
lot of confidence he's going to stop the next one.
But he keeps stopping the next one, which is the
object that he exercised. Don't care, I don't care what
it looks like.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Just keep it on. A little bit of that in
the beginning. Definitely, a little bit absolutely like reactionary and
athletic stomach.

Speaker 10 (23:48):
He's supposed to these new age goalies that just get
large and go down in the butterfly and sit there
and let the puck hit them. It's more exciting the
way when they have to react to it.

Speaker 6 (23:59):
But Mario there last night, I mean, Kiesel tweeted out
a picture that said it was so great hang him with,
you know, getting to see the penguins, getting to hang
with the big guy.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
But it was claw Field in the picture. Okay, so
the big right. Because I'm gonna say, if Mario was
there that was I don't know if he was or
not that would have that would surprise me. But yeah,
because he hasn't been in the building in quite a.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Little well yeah, he's not a big fan of ownership,
but he is a potential purchaser.

Speaker 11 (24:29):
I know that story really went away because it's not
true or not gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
It's yeah, I think it was true.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
I just don't think they're gonna they're gonna get the
price that they want.

Speaker 10 (24:42):
You could be interested, Yeah, I'm interested in a lot
of things that are gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
Yeah right, I mean I'm interested by the penguins, but.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
The cost is probably going to prohibit it.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
But you know, but I just hope they don't sell
it to that one, the guy who's got two hundred
and fifty businesses, and then we become another like his,
you know, one of his empire of things.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
There's got to be a life for hockey guy out
there with a whole lot of money. There somebody understand
Mark Cuban, dude, I'm so sick of here that name.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Bring back the Dirty Oh and then by the Penguins,
what about the pirates.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
The AI video of Cuban bring back Fuel and Foddele
see the Ai video that Cuban on the field at
PNC Park. He's like, I just bought the Pittsburgh Pirates
and all these people think it's real. It's crazy. We
start making out with the parrot.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
You're like, what the I actually would believe that, especially
if he like snapped its bra or something like that.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
We can something.

Speaker 10 (25:41):
Pens are at the Florida Thursday and I play the
way they got to play, you know, one goal against Again,
it's not the most exciting hockey that they've ever played
as a franchise, but it's more effective than what they It's.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Got people talking about them in a time when you
didn't think anybody would be talking about them.

Speaker 10 (25:58):
Still is getting ready for the Green Bay Packers on
Sunday night and Mike Tomalin meeting the media yesterday. One
of the lingering questions in the wake of Bengals thirty three,
Steelers thirty one was why outside linebacker Nick Herbig played
just twenty nine defensive snaps. Tomlin either dodged the question
or revealed subtly or otherwise an assessment of Herbig we

(26:21):
hadn't heard yet this season.

Speaker 12 (26:23):
You know, certainly our inability to control, to run and
limiting one dimensional passes and circumstances probably affected his participation some.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
But again, we got a lot of good players.

Speaker 12 (26:37):
As I mentioned, often when you guys talk about playing time,
just keep watching. We're gonna utilize all our good players.
Sometimes games unfold, whether schematics or matchups or or just
how things unfold. You guys were asking me about Mouth
last week. I'd imagine you're not gonna ask me about
moof this week. And that's just an example of it.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
When he said, I thought, oh, he rehearsed that answer
to invoke Muth there right, knowing he was going to
get asked about herbig yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
But but you know, to your point is you he
did reveal like.

Speaker 10 (27:11):
Her he run yeah, which was contrary to what we've
heard from Vates Yeah and Terrell Austin h. The snapcounts
were really strange in that Bengals game with you know,
strange Knight for the Steelers at outside linebacker TJ. Watt
played sixty two snaps, high Smith's fifty three and herbig
twenty nine. The week before against Cleveland it was herbig fifty,

(27:33):
Watt forty nine and high Smith forty seven. And I
don't buy the Friar with comparison, because I get to
Frimemuth is a lighter run and catch tight end, and
they were playing some heavier teams, and they're going with
darn On Washington, bigger block and smash tight end. Herbig
was playing well. Matt Williamson, colleague of ours at iHeart

(27:56):
and Steelers Nation Radio, he was insisting that Herbig was
rushing the pastor as well as anybody in football during
his hot streak.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, definitely, you led the team in sacks.

Speaker 10 (28:06):
I don't get why he'll you know, the it looked
perfect to me against Cleveland, Like, yeah, play them all
the same amount, because high Smith's is really good player.
I don't want to see, you know, Okay, Herbig should
start and Highsmith should never play again.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
No, Yeah, you can wheel a rhythm between the three
of them, right, but it takes a little effort to
do that. I well, I don't know that it was lazy,
inasmuch as I don't think they anticipated as much of
a problem with the Bengals as they ended up having,
and they like pretty sure they didn't clearly well seriously,

(28:40):
but you know how he likes to like like TJ
rested the whole fourth quarter, right Like I could see
him being like, oh, we have one more week to
acclimate herbig to being a run stopper on top of
what he already has in his arsenal. Where I'm with
you in that instance, there do whatever you can.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Nothing else was working. Nothing else. It wasn't working in
the first After the first quarter they were hanging on defensively. Yeah,
so I would have been trying anything and everything. I mean,
one strip sack at the right time. I thought that
was a revealing part of the Prescott. I think what
he was telling us was I still don't trust Tarbeck
against the run, and hey, maybe he's right, but I
mean against the worst rushing team in the league. You

(29:17):
think maybe that's when you give him a lot of reps,
which was couching the Steelers on the ground, maybe it
would still be the worst rushing team in the league
if they played him.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
You know, what's interesting to me is that he'll he'll
downplay the media's questions or comments, but then the following
weeks they do the thing the media is asking about,
Like everybody was bitching about not using Pat Fryarmouth. Then
they go to friar Mouth and he goes off, we're

(29:46):
bitching about not giving Jayalen Warren eighteen snaps or you know,
eighteen carries in a game.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
They give him eighteen carries in a game, like they're doing.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
The things that the media is asking and then acting
like they're dumb when.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
They ask you, well, he said, yeah, well because you
see more herbig on Sunday night.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
Because they point out obvious flaws and what happened, and
he can't go up there and go, yeah, we screwed
that up. Next week, we'll fix it, you know, and
could no coach once in while they do.

Speaker 10 (30:19):
I mean, you know what, guys that game got away
from us will do better. We love Nick. We got
three really good outside linebacker money, ain't that guy. Don't
start talking about Pat Faarmuth when we ask you about
Nick Kirbick.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
It's not applicable apples and oranges. And I think I
think they're using friar with correctly.

Speaker 10 (30:36):
But I mean, I don't think he's going to be
a six catch, two touchdown guy every game, but certainly
he's always killed Cincinnati. Certain teams he matches up well
against others he does not. I get the argument about
rushes are different man. He's if he is one of
the best in the league at that he should be
on the field. And I think you got to play
your best players, and if you have more than eleven,

(30:56):
it's up to the coach to figure out the division
of labor and get them all involved.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Well, Friarmuth wasn't their best tight end, no, but Hardwick
is one of their best defensive players. All right, playing
twenty nights, then we'll come back. Mister Wednesday will join us.
Abby's got your news.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
At the top of the hour, We're gonna talk about
the things that were normal twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
That today are a luxury fifty comment or nine to fifteen.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
What do you want to hear that the Pittsburgh tradition,
built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon the all request
of electric lunch. That's one of the beast on DV.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
It's football season.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
So how about not wasting another Sunday feeling like you
got to clean the garage again?

Speaker 3 (31:36):
It's Abby and I'm from mister Wednesday. You shake a.

Speaker 13 (31:41):
Trend that what team might say.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
And you're looking for when I was like a talking Trump.

Speaker 13 (31:54):
Yeah, yes, you're looking Oh, mister Dan you.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Found Jeff Conkle, mister, I need to uh, I need
sometimes this show helps me draw strength, and will you
guys help me draw strength.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
I'm gonna. I'm gonna fight right now that I need
strength on. I think that's what we're known for. You
see that shoulder, Come lean on it. I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Some algorithms are very damaging to people. Some algorithms have
radicalized our disaffected young men. Some algorithms have introduced evil
eating disorders are to our young women. The maaha lifestyle
to the algorithm that my wife has been introduced to
I view is just as damaging as those two. And

(32:42):
all all her algorithm is showing her is cute pictures
of puppies. And now you guessed it, my entire family
wants a dog. It's been three weeks of NonStop miniature
Shelty videos nuzzling people and people playing with their there's
a specific dog already, dog in mind already. This is

(33:06):
how deep into the fight that we're getting.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Your whole family is manifesting.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yes, And I feel like like that character and network.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Where I'm like, I won't.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Like, I am so completely obstinate, and I'm like, don't
get me wrong, Like I love dogs, I am I
don't want a dog right this second.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
We have too many things.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
There's plenty of things going on right now, and I
just know the reality of what's going to happen. First
of all, anytime that I tell my kids, I'm like, oh,
you want a dog, you want a dog? You know
what you're gonna have to do, Like you're gonna have
to pick up their poop. Instead of being like, oh
we will, dad, they're like poop, Like that's that's so
they're not responsible enough to even say the word poop,

(33:55):
let alone go around and pick it up for a dog,
Like are we have a small house this dog? I
don't know where it would live, Like you know, there's
no crossbake, it's a mini No, it's I don't think
they're mad. I mean shelties get to what like, uh
you know, pig size, I don't know. I don't know generally, yeah,
so like they're all into a medium dog and uh yeah.

(34:18):
And and I just don't think anyone has done the calculus.
Like I wanted to take them out today like today
forty two degrees wet outside, gross and raining and be
like okay, walk three miles and if you guys all
want to walk three miles and take turns walking three miles,
then let's get a dog. But if everybody says cold out,
the problem, tough crap, because I know it's gonna fall

(34:39):
to me. It's all gonna go.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
To me's a going to you.

Speaker 6 (34:41):
And the problem with the kids is that it's not
a practical decision they're making. It's all heart, it's all
it's all a feel. They don't they don't anticipate that.
And even if they tell you they're gonna walk the
dog and do all that stuff my girls did.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
They lie. These kids lie. They won't walk the dog.
And that's the number one problem people end up having
with dogs is that the dogs are not.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Exercise enough, and then their behavior in the house reflects that,
and then they think they have a bad dog. It's
just that people don't have time to do the things
that you need to do to keep your dog in
a place where it can focus on what you wanted
to do. Because it's like I need exercise. I need
the exercise. But the one thing I was gonna say
to you is what you may be discounting you don't
strike me is the I gotta get the hell out

(35:24):
of here kind of dad. But for there are those
dads who need their moments of respite.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
And then the dog walk the dog becomes five minutes
that they get away from the they have time to
themselves and they can listen to a podcast or do whatever.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
But then it becomes your dog. The dog is your dog.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
I think, really when you boil it down, because I
was really searching deep, I was like, why am I
so against this thing?

Speaker 3 (35:50):
And I just kept thinking.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
I was like, you're afraid to fall in love with
a dog.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
I was like, I already got enough.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
I got enough emotion attack people and things in my life.
I don't need another thing that I fall in love
with that I have to take care of.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
I got enough of that going on.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Well, the first dog I got post college was the
same thing where my buddy's like, let's go to the
pound on our way back from lunch. Let's just go
see what they have, and I'm like, I will get
a dog. I can't go. I'll get a dog, and
that's exactly what happened. And then with my last dog,
Kathy Tall, Kathy was like, I have the perfect dog
for you. I'm like do not send that dog men,
And then they brought the dog to my house.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
It was the wrong dog for me in every way. Yeah,
but I got it.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
I mean I spent a year trying to, like, you know,
get him into fighting shape, and I eventually did. But
I didn't have two kids and a household and the
circumstances that you have, you know.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Yeah, and well, this is the other thing you said,
you went to the pound. Now, see, this is another
thing where I haven't probably an unpopular opinion is that
I want a new dog, brand.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
New, out of the box dog.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
I have had some people that have had some rough
experiences with rescue dogs. In fact, I had a buddy
he he won time he got a he got a
rescue dog. They they the dog was really squirrely around
small squeaky things, squirrels, rodents, and babies. His wife got
pregnant and they were like, we can't have this this

(37:18):
particular dog around the babies.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
So they had the wrong dog.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
They had the wrong dog, but they had to give
it back, and they had already they as adults, had
already they had to make like a Sophie's choice with
this dog and give it back. So then they have
two kids and there and their kids are pushing for
a dog, and he says the same thing to them.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
He goes, I already went through this once. I already
got a dog, got my heart broken. I had to
give this dog back.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
If we get a dog, we're sticking this through because
if you guys all bail on me, we're never getting
a dog again.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
And what what happened.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Brought the dog home, dog got a little yippie with
the kids.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
They had to give it back, and he's like, that's it.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Thust my hands off of everything. That's that's all. That's
all it is. Bilber had to do that with his
with his pitt.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Yeah, Brian Callen had to do that with his pit.
He had a pit. I went out there to stay
with him.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
I was doing shows out there, showcasing and whatnot, and
I'm playing on the porch with this dog and his
little daughter. His daughter is the same age as Kennedy,
so now she's seventeen, which is insane. But she went
to like sit on this dog's back and he went
and it was like that day, yeah, bye bye, see
you see you later.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
To that. Well, that's the correct move, by the way.
Oh yeah, you can't keep it.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
But I just want to point out that, like I
get the ear not into rescues, and if you want
to get a purebred dog that is you know, I
got no gripe with you.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Just be I have always gotten rescues. There are amazing dogs.
There's plenty of great rescues that.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
You just get to do your homework and make sure
sure that the dogs like DNA coincides with what you're
looking for out of your dog. You got to do
a little home more like bill you got sold a
bill of goods, you got screw Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah, no, I'm having flashed back right now.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
I had a Navy seal without a mission in my house.
You would just stare out the window, you cracked the door. Bang,
he's gone in the neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
See it later.

Speaker 6 (39:11):
I mean, people were calling me saying, hey, I just
saw your dog on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
I'm like, my dog started a Facebook account. No, just
jumped into somebody's yard.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
Friend They posted it on Facebook, like does anybody know
this dog?

Speaker 5 (39:24):
But that's the people that that that sold you on
the idea of that dog. The rescue group that did
that was so negligent. It drives me crazy because.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
There's no way the dog that they gave you should
have ever been pitched to you in your circumstances.

Speaker 7 (39:40):
No.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
And I actually wrote that in the letter back to them.

Speaker 6 (39:43):
When we had to rehome them, I said, I know
exactly what this dog needs. This dog needs a retiree
that has a farm, because this game needs to run.
I took him to this property that my sister has
friends that have this huge property down in Washington, PA.
This dog ran the length of this property seven times over.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
My sister's dog, Juju was like I had to pick
him up to put him in the car.

Speaker 6 (40:09):
Yeah, And my dog was just like going like this
walk around the block. Ain't Yes, this dog to the
airport every morning and he's gonna be in Mania.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
The saving grace here is that my neighbors have a
dog that we all love. And I treat this with
the same thing as the boat analogy. You don't want
to have a boat, you want to have a friend
with a boat. So I don't have a dog. We
have a friend with a dog. And I always point
to them and like, oh, you want to play with
a dog, Like there's one right there wagging his tail.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
You can go play with him.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Any literally any you could open the door, walk in
their house, take him for a walk through, whatever you want.
We just don't have to clean up the poop, buy
the food, or cry when he dies.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
My friend, my friend out in Tahoe has that exact situation.
His neighbor's dog walks right onto his patio, will lay
down and just hang out with you. If you're sitting
down in the patio the fire, just he'll come hang
with you for a while, and he's got treats for
him and he hangs like that's part of his life.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Is like, I'm gonna go over to the neighbors.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
It's a big yellow that's exactly, and that's plenty, and
so that's what Although that's gonna be a tough one
to get them for Christmas, is somebody else's dog.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
Yeah right, Or you could do make them watch Old
Yeller and Marley and Me and then see if they
still want to go through with getting a dog.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Oh god, I can do that for them and a
beautiful dog to them and then kill it off. Yeah
that's right, and then and then Kujo finish it off.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
Say this could happen to right, and then just play
clips of Sally Wigan barking every morning and see if
they're still want to do that.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Yeah, exactly. You know that'll keep anybody from wanting that
could be there alone.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Yeah, let's see if they would Sally come over for us,
would Okay?

Speaker 3 (41:52):
Cool, She's not, she's not that busy. Right now, your news,
we're gonna talk about all.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
The things that were normal twenty years ago that today
are alone.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
R that sound Jeff, No, thank you.

Speaker 14 (42:06):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by your Neighborhood for its store and Steelers
Pro shop. Get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 15 (42:17):
During his weekly press conference yesterday, Steelers said coach Mike
Tomlin lamented the Steelers run defense, saying they have to
stop the run more effectively in that doing so is
a building block for them to play good defense.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Well, the job doesn't get.

Speaker 15 (42:27):
Any easier this week for the Steelers run defense, which
gave up one hundred and forty two yards on twenty
three carries to the league's worst rushing attack in Cincinnati
last week. When the Green Bay Packers roll into town
for Sunday night football, the Packers is a team average
one hundred and seventeen yards per game rushing and are
let on the ground by star running back Josh Jacobs,
who has four hundred and fourteen yards thus far on
the season and is coming off a thirteen carry fifty

(42:49):
five yard two touchdown performance against the Arizona Cardinals last week.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Jacobs has had a nose for the end.

Speaker 15 (42:54):
Zone lately for the pack as he scored two or
more rushing touchdowns and three straight games for the Packers.
In fact, since twenty twenty four, Josh Jacobs has had
the most games in the NFL of two or more
rushing touchdowns with a total of six. His eight rushing
touchdowns on the season is good for the second most
in the NFL, behind only the Colts Jonathan Taylor, who
has ten. Stopping Josh Jacobson dramatically improving and stopping the

(43:15):
run is going to be a key for the Steelers
bouncing back on Sunday Night and getting the win against
a formidable Green Bay Packer outfit.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
I'm Tom Offerman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 16 (43:25):
Explaints is this is WDVE Pittsburgh.

Speaker 6 (43:32):
And then I was out with my other nephew, James
over the weekend, We're having dinner at Totopo. My dad
was watching the Boys and we're sitting there and this
was his small talk. He goes, hey, uncle bo, what's
your favorite medicine. I'm like, my what He's like, I
love Motrin and I'm like I just started cracking out.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
I'm like, I don't know. I never have thought about it.
I mean, diamond taps. Not bad conversation. Where did you
learn how to small talk?

Speaker 7 (44:04):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
She'd ask you your doctor if motrin is right for
you? You tried to sky Rizzy, Uncle.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Bell, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning talking to.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
My kids who are old souls, and just the conversations
that come out sometimes and you're like, why is a
little kid like kidbits and about medicine right now? But
that that is the funniest thing though, that kids the
perspective on things like, Uh, We're driving down the road
one time and my nephew goes, yeah, Granny, you like
that dog And I was like that dog over there

(44:36):
he goes yeah, Like oh yeah, he goes yeah, I'd
like that dog's I'm.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Like, that's as far as I got with it.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
That's still happening in my house, like where my my
kids would just be like, hey, dad, what's your least
favorite kind of chicken? And I'm like, I've never thought
about what my least favorite kind of chicken.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Is, I guess or something like that, Like I don't know,
I've never had, you know, but they're trying to figure
out their likes and dislikes on every level. Yeah, these
are the dogs. I like. These are the medicines. I like,
these are the chickens. I like the medicine. You didn't
know the things I like.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
I honestly think like if you like, my kids watch
Sports Center every every day in the morning, and Kate
Mourning TV is riddled with prescription drug ads to the
point where like we heard that like that song like
uh It's magic or whoever you know, but that my
kids were going like oh, oh, oh oh zembic and

(45:33):
I was like, this is a problem that they know,
Like what your g O P one, you know, semi
glue tide injection. They're brand loyal to a semi glue
tide injection already.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Aren't you worried your kids are going to grow up
talking like Steven A. Smith? No, Yeah, that's okay, right,
things of that nature. Abby's got your news right now.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
What's going on is this hour is brought to you
by Keystone Basement Systems, Web Basement, Keystone Basement system dot
Com cloudy and breezy today with a high of fifty one,
people online are talking about things that were normal twenty
to thirty years ago but are now considered a luxury.
So I'm going to give you some highlights and see

(46:14):
if this jogs your memory. So owning the software that
you purchased.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
That's so funny. Yeah, a hard copy of it.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
I the sect like the Microsoft Suite used to.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
You'd be able to buy it for forty two dollars.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Fun word, you get Excel power points and you know
some other thing.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
Usually never used anything but word in Excel. And that
was it.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
So one of those Halloween candy packs where it's like,
all right, I'm getting whoppers in here.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
I don't I'm never going to use someone someone. Does
anybody want to use PowerPoint numbers or something? Sea?

Speaker 1 (46:50):
It wasn't numbers, it was like it was it was
like a flow chart software like that you could like
map out flow charts for project management or something like that. Uh,
but not like probably eight years ago. They're like, well,
just rent it. You're just rent just you have to
pay a subscription service. I'm like, for what what am
I subscribing to? I either have this thing or I

(47:11):
don't have it all the way and I think we
didn't lexus or something like that.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Try to h release.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
They're like, you can use our seat heater, but it's
a subscription service for ten dollars. And they were like, yeah,
oh yeah, car company did. There was a huge backlash
for it because people were just like, are you out
of your mind? Like I'm not paying, Like, so what
on February? If I'm laid on my payments, I can't
use my car, the one that I paid like, you know,
eighty thousand dollars for that. You want to milk the

(47:38):
ten dollars because.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
How the hell are they able to control? But that model,
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
That model is entirely, entirely desirable for you know, accountants
and the financial people because you can show steady profit
instead of like hey, everyone go to Toyota than and
there's a big sales spike and then the next quarter
you're way low. You can just show this, you know,
constant growth.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
The entire time.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
It's like what they did with ski passes in the
ski industry, where they stopped stop making it affordable to
go one day, right because if you go one day,
like I got to buy a pass for one hundred
and fifty dollars for one day, and like, or you
can buy a season's pass and it's first seven hundred dollars,
so you only have.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
To go ski in five times, right, and then everybody
buys that, and most of the people don't end up
even going that many times. And then like they keep
increasing the price of that every year because they had
to show growth and continually show growth, tell the way
they figured like to do. But it's completely ruined.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
I think the same thing is like happening with music.
And I had this epiphany the other day. I was
like I listened to everything on Spotify. I was like,
I don't own any any music, Like anybody could take
this away from me at any time, because I don't
physically have a copy digital or media, you know, physical record,
whatever you want to call it or otherwise.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
I don't like that thought.

Speaker 5 (48:57):
Well, you can download a lot of stuff, like if
you buy stuff on Apple, like if you buy it,
if you buy it.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
You can definitely download it, but even that, you can't
ship like that. It's like pass. You can't just like
share it with other people.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
I don't know that. Can you even burn that stuff
to a CD or anything like that? I mean probably,
but then where do they sell CDs?

Speaker 6 (49:15):
Yeah, it's the best buy if the best buies are
still open.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
There are some M fours like M four and as
that you can send and they will people can listen
to them without having to have the same subscription that
you do. But then there are others that are encoded
yeah and don't play yeah, and I don't know bomb
clips somebody that's right, Well, that's what ends up happening.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
I mean I remember having a subscription to E Music
where every month I would go on and download. They
give you like one hundred downloads, and then they'd also
have like cool articles and turn you onto bands.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
That you know.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
They'd be like you know in the early two thousand
and be like clap your hands and say yeah, this
new band, and you listen to be like, oh, yeah,
that's cool, I hadn't heard that yet, and you download
the record and it was a good way to do it. Now,
nobody cares that they don't own it because it's just
a sample war Yeah, because they don't also want to
have the storage, use up the storage to carry it

(50:10):
with them. They want to have the access on their
phone to be able to go to a billion songs,
not the thousands that they own.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
I was driving. I had to drive to and from
Penn State in the same days. That's a long dra
It's this is like six hour round trip or whatever.
And at one point I was like looking, you know,
I was like trying to figure out what music I
want to listen to, and I was like, maybe I
just sit here, and I was like, uh, oh, your
board of music. I was like, that's a bad feeling
to have where you're like, you have the entire world

(50:38):
of music at your fingertips.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
And you're like, nah, I don't want.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
Well, a lot of times I'll go to my library
in those instances and I just hit shuffle because of
all those times that I downloaded things that I owned.
I uploaded all of my CDs into my library, like
I own all those all right, yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
It reminds me of what I downloaded and what I like, Yeah,
what I own you for this song? Maybe you were
questioning your sexuality.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Yeah, I'll tell you what if anybody, If anybody wants
a great date night idea if you're my age, because
you probably have this. Like my wife and I both
have binders of mix CDs that we made, like in college.
They have a party mix or car mix or something
like that, or even just things that don't have labels
to them. Just sit in your house one night on

(51:27):
a Friday night and just pop some of those in
and you're like, oh my god, I liked Huba Stank
for a little bit, like it's a great date night.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
Hell yeah, dude, everybody went through that phase. What was like,
what were some other bands that were in that genre?

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Well, thought Cuba Stank was funny because it was Brandon
Boyd from Incubus's Hoobastank was that guy's cousin. So then
there was this whole little genre of people who were
related to other. There was a band called Adema, which
was Jonathan Davis from Korn's cousin, who started a you know,

(52:07):
a whatever you want to call it, a new metal,
you know, emo type type band. But that that those
are all going on, then they weren't even one hit
Wonders they were like a sort of half eighth of
a hit wonder.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Like all the new metal names. It's so funny how.

Speaker 5 (52:21):
The genres have names that all like like rotate around
each other, and like the new metal names all sound
like it's definitely a new metal band. Like jam bands
all sound like muppets, you know, I mean like all
their bands.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Metal bands all sound like like Passages in the Testament
or something like that, really aggressive, like puddle of mud godsmack.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
Yeah, exactly, it's just hilarious. You're not gonna go see godsmacket.
It's two guys with guitars harmonizing.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Something else on the lift here, good quality fabric and clothing.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
What's what's it called? What? What's that? There's a phrase
for the cheap clothing that's out there now. Well fast
fashion bag one. Yeah, fast fashion like old Navy and
stuff like that. That's like four or five weares and
washes and it's already on the way out.

Speaker 17 (53:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
You can get everything that you need at like H
and M and Forever twenty one, but it will disintegrate
in the wash.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
Like well, yeah, you're about to find out, I.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Know, as somebody with a large head like I got
the bacon. Any sweatshirt I buy has to be like
triple reinforced with like NASA elastic, because we're going bacon
bacon collar on that one.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
You stretch them out, You and Jacob. Jacob stretches out
his car. He's got a Casaba, me and him.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
It's similar to like household products also that don't break
within the first few years of use. Used to be
able to buy something and kind of think that, you know, solid,
I get to keep this for ten to fifteen.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Dude, my neighbor, my furnace when I bought the My
house is built in like nineteen forty eight. When I
bought the house in twenty thirteen, it was the same furnace.
The furnace had but if it was working, there was
like a teeny little carbon monoxide leak.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
So we got it and like a little bit of
a little bit of one. It's okay, it's working, but
only poisoning us.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
People need to replace their furnaces like every like six years.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Now that one. This is by designe.

Speaker 6 (54:19):
This is by design though, it's because we've we've become
a consumer economy. Yeah, like we are consumers, We're not
manufacturing anymore. When we were building this stuff, it was
built to last a lifetime. My my grandmother had the
same iron and washer and dryer for sixty years.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Growth.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Yeah, growth, Well, I think it's to me this is
a this is a problem with how corporations are run
because basically they're all run by hedge funds. So every
corporation doesn't have an owner. They have a million owners.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
So if your.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Product sucks, it doesn't really matter because it gets spread
out over ten thousand. There's no one there, you know,
from Black and like when Black and Decker made their
first tool company, they were like, we're gonna make good
tools because I want my name to go down in
history as a good tool maker. And then they sold
it to a hedge fund and then no one cares anymore.

Speaker 7 (55:10):
So you just and.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Right, Decker was always a jack. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (55:19):
There are some brands that last, you know, like I
have a washer and dryer they got.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
From Don's Appliances that has like been I'm going on
like fifteen years with it. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah,
you know my appliances are from Dawns two. Really good.
If you try to go the cheaper route. Sometimes on
appliances especially.

Speaker 5 (55:41):
I feel like you try, You're like, oh, I don't
need an expensive dishwasher, and then it's just like you know.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
You'll open the door one day and it falls off.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
The ring shoots out like a like a broken garage
door opener, and ricochets across the room.

Speaker 6 (55:53):
I mean, I think Apple was the most egregious in
this way, like they phase out their own products on purpose.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
You ever taken like an older computer to Apple. They
don't know they're geniuses, but they don't know what the
hell kind of computer yet?

Speaker 5 (56:04):
Well the new operating system for Apple, then you tahoe right.
I only have one of the three. I have a laptop, phone,
and then my desktop that I use at home. And
I can't update the desktop because it doesn't work with
pro tools yet, but I could update my laptop, so
I did. Dude, it runs like a Farri and everything
else I have runs like crap. And the fact that

(56:26):
they do that, or that your iPhone battery starts to
go out, like these are all things that they have designed.
Or when they changed the wiring and the charging headphone
phone jacks, getting.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Rid of the three point five millimeter headphone jack was
the most egregious slap in the face to all consumers
and be like, you got to use the USBC.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
That only we sell. Well, then get the adata, you
can get the adapta.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Yeah so yeah, then I get a little dreadlock hanging
out of my phone too.

Speaker 6 (56:54):
Now you got a dongle dongle on your phone. Da
thank you dongle, and you got a bigger dangle.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
Well that kind of this kind of goes with Apple
privacy is now a luxury being able to just let
loose and have a good time without the risk of
it being recorded and popping up on social media.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
Did you see that the Ring cameras are now using
facial recognition technology?

Speaker 3 (57:16):
Gee? Who could have seen that coming.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
We're putting in a surveillance system for the entire world voluntarily,
I mean that we're paying for it from the get go.
I was like, this is suspect beyond all suspect.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
Hey want to be a snitch for us? Yes, that's
what it is. So you can see the door dash guy.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
But is there I see the value in having something
like a ring cam.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Is there something where they're not using it for nefarious purposes?
Because Ring is already they're getting sued for you know,
they've they've offered over video to the yeah without a
warrant and things like that. So they're under fire for
a lot of their business practices. There's wrong with the peephole? Well, like,

(58:01):
I don't know, you can't see the Amazon Amazon guy
far and fall down the stairs. How will we all
enjoy viral videos? I do love those videos.

Speaker 6 (58:11):
If like a guy is on a date and he
steps out on the porch to get away from her
for a second.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
He's like, but my thing is, like, who's uploading like
videos of themselves falling on icy patches and falling down
the patio stairs?

Speaker 3 (58:24):
Like who then has that happened to them?

Speaker 1 (58:26):
And thinks immediately I should I should upload that on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
Because we all have this mild history onic personality disorder
from social media where it doesn't matter how we're getting attention,
we just want attention see to me.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
And being embarrassed in private is was a was a luxury,
like you could you could you could be in your
socks and person flip on the landing and then eat
it with a laundry basket and you'd say, oh, thank god,
nobody saw that. And now you feel compelled to share
it with the world, don't somebody caught it on VID?

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Yeah. I understand the utility of the ring camera.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
I don't understand the utility of people having camera in
their homes.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
That doesn't make.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Sense, Like, yeah, when you have when you see videos
that are posted of people that have cameras inside, like
the kitchen, inside.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
The living room, I guess.

Speaker 5 (59:14):
I mean the argument would be if you were in
an apartment and there were break ins, that would be
a way to help identify.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
But something O caase, Like I don't know with all
that stuff. It's just like, well, what if I need
to know? What are you gonna do? Let's just say
there's a home invasion? What you're gonna get on the
intercomp Please please stop, please please stop robbing my house?

Speaker 3 (59:37):
Like, what are you that before? At bludge? What is
gonna happen? I don't understand it. Privacy, those are the
good old.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Days and now they're gone.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
It is cloudy today with a high of fifty one.

Speaker 5 (59:51):
Mister Wenesday, Jeff Conkole hanging with us this morning. I
know you're going out to work on a highway right now,
and you got your safety hoodie on.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
Would uh? Jenny comedy coming on. I got a decent
sized show.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
It's a little bit of ways, but it's at lo
Lev Brewing on November fifteenth. Big show down there. If
you haven't been down there, it's like deep. I don't
even know that is that Lawrence that's like deep deep
deep in Lawrenceville.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
All the way down by the cemetery.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, but a cool place. It's like on fifty second
Street on Butler. But the show on November fifteenth, that's a.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Saturday, good deal. It's like my spirit. Yeah. Yeah, it's
not that deep. It's not that deep. I mean, you
go any deeper, you'll be at the zoo. You're in Friendshipshire. Yeah.
Fifty commenter joining us later this morning, also.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
Meryl Hodge, Mark Madden, Mike pursueda with your sports and
we came back here on the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
I've been trying to win one thousand dollars as long
as conduct has been going. I'm listening to DVE every day.

Speaker 14 (01:00:41):
Congratulations to Shane from Pittsburgh. He's the latest winner of
a thousand bucks in workforce cash.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
We'll give you the keyword at the top of the.

Speaker 14 (01:00:49):
Hour nine am through nine pm thirteen times a day.
Enterate at DV dot com and you could win a thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Bucks in workforce cash. That is off come from one
O two point five. Hey, it's Randy from the DV
Morning Show. You know it's more important though, Mike Sports
as I brought to you by Bridgeville Plins.

Speaker 10 (01:01:07):
The penguins five to one win over Vancouver last night
included Tommy Novak's first of the year, Connor Dewar second,
Anthony manthis third, and Justin Brozo's fifth.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
Who are these guys? How are they scoring?

Speaker 13 (01:01:20):
Goal?

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
Yeah's actually good so far?

Speaker 10 (01:01:24):
Could it be the Kyle Dubis found some of these
retread vets that actually fit. Stay tuned? What stay tuned?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But it's working pretty
well so far, and last night it worked out not
just well for the Penguins, but historically so. Sidney Crosby's
fourth of the new campaign was his one eight and

(01:01:46):
ninety sixth career point regular season and playoffs combined, and
that nudged him ahead of Mario Lemieux for the most.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
In Penguins history.

Speaker 10 (01:01:56):
Passing Lemieux absolutely meant something to Crosby, particul considering how
much what you did for Crosby to start of Crosby's
career meant to Crosby the eighteen year old a lot.

Speaker 18 (01:02:08):
I mean, coming in, you know, there's so many new
things and the expectations and everything that comes with it
as a young player.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
So you know, having someone like Mary Owen's family there.

Speaker 18 (01:02:19):
To you know, just keep things as normal as possible
to be there, you know, for for anything that I needed,
any questions I had, just to you know, to keep
things as normal as they could possibly be given the situation.
And then be able to learn from someone like him
as who've been through so much and play at the
level that he did and you know, went through the

(01:02:40):
university that he did, and just you know, his family
as a whole house was so important.

Speaker 6 (01:02:46):
So yeah, I.

Speaker 18 (01:02:48):
Can't I don't know if I can put into words
how much it means, but it's meant a lot, and
I really I cherish that, you know, that relationship and
his family and everything that they've.

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
You know, on the rarity of that situation, to have
a superstar come in and stay with the team owner,
former superstar, legend of the sport and have him take
him under his wing and make him part of his family.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
It just feels like such a Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (01:03:19):
Dynamic, Like it's something that in this mythology, we just
you can't get enough of situations like that, and it
sets our expectations extremely high when it comes to ownership
and player relationships in this town.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
And it's part of why the FSG people have had
such a hard time getting anybody in this town to
appreciate anything they're doing or not doing. Yeah, because we're
so used to the extraordinary. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:03:52):
I mean it's like the Canadian billet system in junior hockey.
You know, kid gets traded to some western prairie town
named after an animal part and he has to live
with somebody exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Yeah, except that it was the NHLA. It was like
a big city just doing it. Yeah, come on it
good and.

Speaker 10 (01:04:09):
Sleep, you know, like yack larynx, coyote, scrot.

Speaker 6 (01:04:16):
I love stories like that because it's it's people living
up to their expectations and blowing right by them. I mean,
everybody thought Sid was a superstar, obviously, from the time
he was fourteen years old on. But I don't know
that anybody thought that he would pass Lemieux on the
goals list.

Speaker 10 (01:04:37):
I don't recall hearing that when Crossby got here, I
don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
Anybody thought he'd be playing for the Penguins this long Uh,
pretty pretty amazing stuff.

Speaker 10 (01:04:45):
You heard that sound bite from Crossby, that's about his
expanses as he gets He says excitement for the ice.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
He really does.

Speaker 6 (01:04:51):
But I think he did a good job there, he said,
I don't know if I could put it into words.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
You did a pretty good job, said, you know, I
didn't even.

Speaker 10 (01:04:57):
Know combined points regular he's in the playoffs was a thing.
I know they you know, they rate the all time
points leaders on regular season, but most regular season and
playoff points in NHL history.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
Crosby's now seventh. It's crazy wow, eighteen ninety six.

Speaker 10 (01:05:17):
Next on the list at number six is Steve Eiserman
one nine hundred and forty Ron Francis fifth at one
nine hundred and forty one.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
I mean some heavy stuff. And oh, by the way,
Penser five and two. That's why I.

Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
Always thought that there was no chance that he was
going to leave Pittsburgh, because you know, obviously the goal
is to win cups. But he is still passing all
time list marks that are he's still accomplishing things. And
he also, by the way, has three rings and a
bunch of gold medals.

Speaker 3 (01:05:53):
I think he wants more, of course, more than anything.
He's a man of habit and routine, legacy and loyalty.
Being traded to Colorado would break the routine. Yeah, a
lot of people think he's going to Montreal. Man, I
just don't see it. To play with those guys in
the Olympics.

Speaker 10 (01:06:13):
Hopefully, uh hopefully gets some world again and they get
maybe a bronze.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
So you think that his agent floating that was more
to just push Dubis to not dial like you know,
dial it all the way back to the no.

Speaker 10 (01:06:25):
I think it's a I think it was an alert
from his agent. Hey, if you guys are horrible, we're
not around here. For it ain't better or that much worse, right,
you know what I mean. It's yeah, take your time,
but hurry up. It's better or worse, but you got
to try a little bit like for.

Speaker 3 (01:06:41):
Better or that much worse. When I said worse, which
just like a I think you would be a lot
of marriage just get to that point. And they said,
you know, I didn't sign up for this.

Speaker 10 (01:06:49):
Indeed, So we'll see sales getting ready for the Packers
on Sunday night at Akroscher Stadium, and uh they get
some work to do. Man, the UH secondary is the
primary concern in the wake of that disaster in Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Coach, it has looked.

Speaker 10 (01:07:07):
Nothing like they thought it was gonna look this season
so far, but Mike Tomalin is going to keep squinting.

Speaker 12 (01:07:13):
It certainly hasn't met my vision to this point, but
I'm not discouraged. We got good people there, good players,
good people guys. They got good relationships with the game,
and so we're just gonna keep working.

Speaker 10 (01:07:28):
Speaking of work, in Calvin, Austin is scheduled to work
this week. According to Mike Tomlin. As always, they will
let his participation and the quality of that participation be
their guide, said Tomlin yesterday, quote, as we stand here today,
we're optimistic. I know certainly he's optimistic about his ability
to be included.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
Then he scored some points. Yeah, he can help.

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
Green Bay is a problem. Defensively. They don't scare me.
Outside of the pass rush. I think if you can it's.

Speaker 10 (01:08:00):
Rush. The backers are really good too. I think I
was telling building one of the breaks. I don't think
the sideways stump it down really quick. Passing game is
going to work against these guys because they played, at
least in the Arizona game, they just played super aggressive.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
They play a lot of single high.

Speaker 10 (01:08:16):
They got a lot of people around the line of scrimmage,
and they're fast and they rally to the ball. I
think you have to challenge these guys down.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
The field, which Jacoby Brissett was able to do, but
you got to have time to do it. And when
they couldn't do it, Parsons blew it up. They are
second in the league against the rush Green Bay. Yeah, they.

Speaker 10 (01:08:39):
Are forced just the best team Steelers will have played.
And I have a lot of respect for Seattle and Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Aaron Rodgers can This is a big tight end game,
big tight end game. Funny Funny you mentioned that the
Arizona tight end Trey McBride had ten catches and two touchdowns.
There you go, and on both of the touchdowns they
just lost them in zone coverage. It looked it looked
like Steeler spangles. It's hard to lose Darnell Washington and
any kind of coverage.

Speaker 10 (01:09:05):
You know, they're throwing the ball to a guy and
he should should somebody be covering that guy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
He's like right at the four yard life it Steelers
like Gronk run around free. It happens. Oh yeah, he
did that.

Speaker 10 (01:09:19):
When they tried to cover him with nobody like yeah,
put somebody over there.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
It's just like, there's Gronk. I mean, did that before.
Troy couldn't cover Gronk Like he was that good in
his window when he was at the height of his powers.

Speaker 5 (01:09:37):
It was he almost came back. He almost came back
with Brady there right, wasn't he gonna he was like
he did? Wait did he play for Tim Day?

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
We want to ring with him down there? My god?
How did I forget that? For some reason? I'll never
forget it because I won all those props. I'm thinking,
uh props in the Super Bowl fifty yards plus three
cat like three catches? Oh my god, anytime TD.

Speaker 5 (01:10:04):
So look at some some of those guys that Brady had,
and now he's selling shirts for the military. He can't
say Eggbuka, but otherwise he's doing great. Abby's got your

Meryl Hodge, Ladies Mary.

Speaker 7 (01:11:18):
I love your energy. I have great energy.

Speaker 5 (01:11:20):
Well, you know, trying to man, just manufacture some positivity
after watching the Steelers drop one to Flaco and the
Bengals on Thursday night, a very winnable game and unbelievable
performance from Joe Flacco.

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
But once again Rogers, the old guys showed up. He did.
But like, I'm not so worried about our offense so
much as I'm worried about the defense, which always comes
into the season highly touted and then lets big things
happen against them.

Speaker 5 (01:11:47):
That happened again this weekend. So what is your main
area of concern? Defensively? For the Steelers defensive line let
them run all over them, even though the Bengals were
the last ranked team in rushing in the NFL. But
the secondary having the breakdowns that they did, and the
linebackers just being confused as to who to cover that

(01:12:08):
is that is worrisome.

Speaker 7 (01:12:09):
Merril, we pretty much summed it up.

Speaker 13 (01:12:14):
Well.

Speaker 7 (01:12:15):
I'll tell you listen, everything starts and ends with how
you win the line of scrimmage. I mean it might
be a cliche and it sounds boring, but like, the
two things that help you win consistently are you control
the temple of the game. A part of that is
control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball,
and then just when the turtle battle, like if you
do that, and the ninety chance that you're going to

(01:12:36):
win in this league because that's not just closely paradise.
I mean, this happened what Cincinnati did with Joe Flacco
having like four real practices, you know, to get ready
for a game. But the thing that was probably the
most concerning was their defensive line kind of fell back
into the first two weeks. How they kind of got manhandled.

(01:12:57):
Cincinnati manhandled them up front. There were I think sometimes
we forget like those guys are NFL players too, Like
they're really good too, you know, but their guys, their
best beat our best. You know, a lot of the
one on one stuff on the perimeter. Their wide receivers
beat us schematically, they did a good job. See we
were trying to double both of their guys, their main guys,

(01:13:19):
you know, Chase and and five. So what they did
is they took advantage of that. They they have other
good guys. Number eighties are really good wide receiver, are
really good wide receiver. They got a bunch of plays
to him that one big explosive play because they.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Knew what we were doing.

Speaker 7 (01:13:38):
They knew we were doubling and taking all of our
access and all our sts to cover and take care
of those two guys Higgins and Chase, and we'll create
matchups elsewhere. So they did schematically, they did a good job,
and then when it was one on one, they they won.
You know we didn't. It is a little bit because
I would be a little concerned because to see this

(01:14:00):
all consistently. We struggle with our zone coverage. Now when
I say we like, linebackers are part of coverage, and
I think we forget like the everything is the secondary.
The linebackers are really important. I remember talked to Tom Cofflin, Gosh,
he's like twenty years ago, and Tom Foutlin goes, man,
I got linebackers. We play his own coverage. When I

(01:14:21):
count to be at the twenty, man, they're gonna be
at the twenty. But they have no instincts after that
because sometimes you don't have to be at the twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
You need to be like.

Speaker 7 (01:14:29):
Three yards to the left or the right based on
formation and our underneath coverage. Like we we give so
many voids up based on the formation, like we don't
know where people are. You know, there was one time
that had a route all through routes on the numbers. Okay,
we had one of our linebackers between the numbers and
they had a bounds. Well there's nobody over there, Like

(01:14:53):
you're not covering anybody. You've got to move inside the numbers,
you know, to make effective you know. So so the
z own guys that we do that a lot. We
create a lot of voids. And then when people bring
bunch packages like three wide receivers and they and then
quickly dispersed, we make a lot of mistakes on who
we got who we don't have. And that keeps happening,

(01:15:15):
you know, That's happened consistently, So that's why people keep
doing it. So you've got to button those and those
seats are all correctable. But honestly, but until you do
correct the mall, people are going to keep doing it.
And if you keep if you don't ever correct it,
then it's going to be the thing that haunts you
for the rest of the year.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Meryl. If I've learned anything from you over the years, it'stead.

Speaker 10 (01:15:36):
I'm never supposed to overlook or underappreciate a professional that's
been embarrassed. Do the Steelers collectively qualify as embarrassed right now?

Speaker 7 (01:15:48):
The defense is, I would think so, you know, because
it's a better to that they know it better than
that they've played better. Now, they've already shown that, you know,
they've played coverages better than that they've played at the
last screams better than that. To say this that I
I didn't tackle very well. You know, you can't hit
in this league, you know, I just I just don't
get it. Man. It's probably the most disturbing because like

(01:16:10):
I just when I when I played, I'm telling you,
we would watch a team, okaykay, these guys are hitters
or these guys are tacklers. And if they're hitters, were like,
we get runs, we'll get runs, three yard runs. Are
can try to five and six yard runs. But if
they're tacklers, man, I mean, you're probably gonna get three
yard run. We just don't tackle. We don't tackle in
the box and try to hit everybody. And it's just
it's disturbing because I'm gonna say this. I know they're

(01:16:32):
in meetings and they're they're talking about this wrap up
bring you on, wrap updis But then that's why I said,
the coach has all the power, no control, and they
step inside the White Lions game on. I mean, no
sup to the player to start doing it. You know,
we just didn't tackle very well either, Just like all
those things are correctable, but you know it's your poor.

(01:16:52):
When a professional has been embarrassed, I like, now we
all care how bad they are, you know, I'm like,
oh my gosh, next week there's Zumbear's look out because
if there are two professionals, they will not play like
that again. And then against the Packers, they can't play
like that. They will get the doors blown off with
the Packers.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
Well, that's what I want to ask you about, is
the Packers and what they're in for on Sunday night.

Speaker 7 (01:17:16):
Well they okay, So this is what the Packers do. Offensively,
They have a lot of phases they can run. If
there's there one area that the Packers I think are
most interesting, and they do better than anybody in the
NFL offensively.

Speaker 3 (01:17:30):
Man, they run screens.

Speaker 7 (01:17:31):
I think I think a screen is a wicked weapon,
but it's timing and it's hard to run. But they
run tight end screens, they run running back screens, they
run one man screens, they run offensive line screens. I
mean this game, they run eight screens in a game.
That's a lot like sometimes a game if you kind
of know one we ran a screen last I mean,

(01:17:52):
I know we have, but I'm like, I just can't remember.
But that's what I'm saying, Like usually it's a screen
here or there. And the screen game, I think is
such a wicked aspect of an offense. But they do
that really really well. I mean, and that's that's a
real you're talking about paying attention to details, especially in
your man coverage. You're not getting blocked. And because the

(01:18:13):
man coverage, that's when you really want it because if
you get the one guy this response before the other
guy blocked, you're probably going to make a big play.
That's what they do a really good job of that.
But they have a good running game. They have they
have a complete passing game, short, intermediate, and explosive. So
it's just that that screen element that was different than
most teams and the almost the entire NFL. That's what

(01:18:34):
they're different. And like a Parsons are there apparent they
been moving him everywhere. Now, I mean he doesn't just
flip side of the side of the guy and playing inside.
They got him all over the place. So their defenses
there's a force from a pressure pressure aspect. But if
you've handled a pressure, you know, you can move the
ball on this team, you know, and it they're buttoned

(01:18:55):
up as they can be, they can beat the Packers,
you know, that's how close it is. They just can't
plays like they did again Cincinnati.

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
And b screen doesn't give you a whole lot of
time to get after Jordan Love, But what's the offensive line,
like if they're in a situation where they're able to
shut Josh Shakobs down and have to start passing, like
we got to get t j and herbig and high
Smith on Love because he seems to get a little
rattled if people do get in his face.

Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
Right right right.

Speaker 7 (01:19:22):
Brought that up because you're right, Let's say the screen
games used to do that, and oftentimes it's because your
guys are very good up front, or you're trying to
slow people down to have good pass rushers. So that's
why I brought that up, because they're going to do
that because we've got good pass rushers and they're obviously
linings to average that they are just average. You can
you can get after the right tackle, you can get
after the right guard, left tackle, sorry, left tackle, right guard.

(01:19:45):
I mean, I'm just cooking guys out that you can actually,
because that's what you try to do is create matchups.
Pussualize you can get after their backs something linebackers are
affected or you know five because of the blitzer, you
can win on those matchups. So the that's where we're
at the advantage. That's why you might keep twenty screens.
He could have say like they know that, you know,

(01:20:07):
they're not dumb. They're like, okay, well let's cool them
off because let's get him thinking about other things versus
rushing Our quarterback.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
MARYL.

Speaker 5 (01:20:13):
Hodge brought to My Castle Rock Hormone Health and South
Hills Key this morning on d V Steelers Green Bay
Packers Aaron Rodgers facing his former team on Sunday night,
and I'm not gonna underestimate the revenge factor on Aaron
Rodgers for this one.

Speaker 7 (01:20:27):
MARYL.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
Yeah, don't do that, don't do that. Yeah, don't do that.

Speaker 7 (01:20:30):
I think they're like he has an edge about him. Jest,
he gonna play it off, you know, like, you know, shoot,
has he never played him again? I can't remember Will
yet he's never played Oh really, well, it's been a
while since he's been there per se, you know, three
or four years. But you don't underestimate.

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
That's it. That's a big one, is Merrill Hodge? Thanks? Brother,
We're talking next week.

Speaker 7 (01:20:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:20:56):
So to summarize the best things to Steelers have going
for him Sunday night is their defense got completely embarrassed
the last time it took a field and their quarterback
hates the TV's playing.

Speaker 3 (01:21:07):
Well, I wouldn't take that away from what he did
one hundred.

Speaker 5 (01:21:11):
I mean, you know, the screen situation does interest me
here because you know.

Speaker 10 (01:21:18):
We did Josh Jacobs is fear one. Yeah, I mean,
he's really good in that defense.

Speaker 6 (01:21:25):
Was We're gonna find out if they can stop the
run or if they'll be able to stop the run
in the next two weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:21:31):
By the way, do you see what the brown.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
Got Taylor's coming after Joe, Yeah, Jonathan Taylor, you know,
the guy with twelve touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:21:39):
Yeah, they got twenty rushing touchdowns on the year already.
That's amazing. The Browns. The week after the Steelers game.
Did you see what they did where they finally they
stuck with Judkinskins.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
So it's like, did we stop the run or did
those argument that I made yesterday, Did these idiots just
stop running the ball again?

Speaker 10 (01:22:02):
Just kept hitting the wall if they kept running. I
mean that that happened all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
Happened to the Dealers though in the high every game.

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
I mean, Jalen Warren didn't start taking off to the
second half of that game.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
You had to wear down the other team.

Speaker 10 (01:22:13):
I'm just saying, in the old days, when they were
really good defensively under Lebau and Casey Hampton and Kesel
and all those guys, teams would try to run and
just realize it wasn't happening and stop. That is stopping
to run if you if you compel them not to
run it anymore. One of the reasons they kept going Cleveland,
I assume, is because they thought it would break eventually.

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):
Maybe they didn't have that same feeling Agains Pitchfork. Abby's
got your News.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Next, Suzanne Summer's husband made an AI clone for He says, guys,
you can't even tell the difference.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
We'll rate our algorithm. This is weird.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
That guy's always been had weird sexual energy. I can't
wait to hear the story. PFT comment are normal sexual
energy that'll be nine to fifteen today.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
Ready for a new ride. Southfields Kia has the Ryan and.

Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
A Dema, which was Jonathan Davis from Korn's cousin who
started a you know, a whatever you want to call it,
a new metal, you know, emo type type band. But
that that those are all going on, then they weren't
even one hit Wonders. They were like sort of half
e eighth of a hit wonder like all the new
metal names.

Speaker 5 (01:23:11):
It's so funny how the genres have names that all
like like rotate around each other and like the new
metal names all sound like it's definitely a new metal band.
Like jam bands all sound like muppets, ye know me
like all their bands.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Metal bands all sound like like Passages in the or
something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
Really aggressive like puddle of mud.

Speaker 5 (01:23:32):
Godsmack, yeah exactly, it's just hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
You're not gonna go see god Smack. And it's two
guys with guitars harmonizing yea.

Speaker 8 (01:23:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Look.

Speaker 5 (01:23:47):
That was Mister Wednesday with US earlier, Jeff Concle I
looked up the worst band names ever. There's a bunch
of different lists that have the worst band names.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Most most of them I can't say, but Hoole Surfers, Yeah,
that one.

Speaker 5 (01:24:01):
That one, I mean, their whole catalog is actually kind
of unrepeatable. But anal Blast one, they're a hardcore band
on Minneapolis, anal Vomit, which I would imagine.

Speaker 7 (01:24:17):
Vomit.

Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
And then there's ass Pounder. I don't know what that
I can't imagine.

Speaker 6 (01:24:25):
On a website broken, broken dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
Broken, what's back door? The Broken Penis Orchestra.

Speaker 6 (01:24:36):
Yeah, they play without using their hands. Yeah, that's why
it's broken.

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
There's a band called Hot Buttered anal there's log off.

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Man you do did you already get the Diarrhea Planet?

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
That's here? That's there Diary. And there's another one that
I can't say that I know. They've played here in
Pittsburgh a few times.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
I think I know Peeing Razors, Oh yeah, yeah yeah,
or yeah Pete Jeans, Yes that one. Yeah, there's just
bands are cool. You ain't cool unless you. And then
the Goo Goo Dolls Toilet Boys is a hilarious one,
and they have an umlot over the Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
Yeah, toilet Boys is actually they're not bad.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
They're international. Yeah, most of these are just are rated.
You can't say no, you cannot. People never liked.

Speaker 5 (01:25:30):
The Meat Puppets. They thought that was a bad name,
and I like that. I think that's that one.

Speaker 6 (01:25:33):
Yeah, but what about I mean, aren't we like those
bands are are ridiculous names. But like we were talking
about bands that everybody knew at one point, like what's
the worst known band?

Speaker 5 (01:25:47):
Goo Goo Dolls is in the runs bad and it
might have actually stifled their success.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
Yeah, but I think they had like a really dirty
band name before they.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
Had the Goo Goo Dolls. I have to look it up,
all stalled.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
Yeah, they had like a really dirty band name before
they were called the Goo Goo Dolls. But no, I
would say that there's an argument whenever you think of
like a bad band name, like throw it out there
is Boston a bad band name?

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
Well, Kansas, Kansas, Chicago, Like if I call it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:29):
If my name my band Pittsburgh, or you'd be like,
oh wow, that's.

Speaker 5 (01:26:32):
A great band name if you named it Pittsburgh Transit Authority.
Maybe Chicago was Chicago Transit Authority.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
All right. Then, there's Ohio Players, there's the what's the
Atlanta one? Uh? Is it Atlanta Rhythm Section? Is that
what it is? The Goo Goo Dolls original band name
was the Sex Maggots. Yeah, that's not a good name either,
not two words you want to really put together. No,
Sex Maggots.

Speaker 5 (01:26:57):
Coming up with the band name is the hardest thing
in the world, it really is, and so many people
get completely they they get so flustered they just go
with the dumbest name.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
How do you go from sex Maggets to Goo Goo Dolls?
Did the whole band go into a conservatorship like Saliva?
People don't like that one. It's gross. Yeah, you might
as well call the band moist. Well, like, let's be honest.

Speaker 5 (01:27:22):
Limp Biscuit is a it's not a great name, but
for their music and their fan base and who they
appealed to, it's like perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:27:30):
Yeah it is. They have a tour with Bush, Limp
Biscuit Bush.

Speaker 5 (01:27:35):
Don't you feel like Limp Biscuit is the comedy level
of politics today?

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Do it for the Lulls? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
Yes, that's why they're popular. Again, you were off on Monday.
We had this discussion because Sam rivers. Their basis passed
away very unexpectedly.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
Suddenly, Yeah, young guy.

Speaker 2 (01:27:56):
But we talked a bit about their resurgence as a band,
especially now because they kind of came back in this
way where you know, they're showing up gray haired, they're
recognizing that they kind of are dad rock now because
what else can they be. But they have that total

(01:28:17):
do it for the meme, do it for the lulls esthetic.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
They're not just doing it for the nookie.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
They're beyond the nookie now and it kind of works
for everybody in addition to the nostalgia aspect of it.

Speaker 6 (01:28:34):
Yeah, Huba stank is definitely on this list bad names.

Speaker 3 (01:28:39):
Well, that's what got us into the conversation or Huba
Stankuba hubas Huba. I think it's like like massively stinky.

Speaker 5 (01:28:52):
Well, I think the Huba stanks. It's like it's stanks,
like Huba in here?

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
What is Huba? Who is Huba? Okay, Huba was a guy?
What does Huba stank mean?

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
We we used to use that on the X when
we have staff meetings. We used to joke that Huba
stank was our safe word. They said it was the
band said it was just a nonsense name.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
Yeah, you know that that comes across.

Speaker 5 (01:29:22):
For some reason, I thought it was like Chiba. I
thought it was like pots smell.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Like like a like like bong water on the floor.
It's like, that's a great name for a band. Water
on the floor. There's bong water on the floor. There's a.

Speaker 17 (01:29:40):
Song.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Yeah, it didn't work as well, right. Scott was like,
I keep I feel like the song's done, but it just.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
On the floor and I need to replace this carpet.
And then Rob went, what if we replaced Penny, Rob,
You're a genius. That's one of his many contributions. We'll
have to wait for the behind the music, dude, there
should be a behind the music on the Clarks. We
need to do local behind the music.

Speaker 5 (01:30:09):
So, by the way, yesterday speaking of behind the music,
was the thirtieth anniversary of Bruce Springsteen playing with Jogasheki
and the house Rockers at Nicks Fat City, and we
we did some features on the Afternoon Show here on
d V yesterday from that show because on the reissue
of American Babylon they put the entire show on there.

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
Did you know that?

Speaker 5 (01:30:30):
No, yeah, you can that that that entire show live
from Nick's Fat City sound good.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
Yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
And uh, I'm pretty sure Dve engineered all of that
back in the day and correct me if I'm wrong. Well,
maybe you wouldn't know, but I'm pretty sure it played
live on DV like it was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:49):
Not impo it was that's why. Yeah, well you remember
all those pictures that used to be Remember when they
used to let us hang up pictures about like the
cool stuff we did at DV SO Pittsburgh. Yeah, Ari's Birthday.
Yeah remember that. There's literally Arion like Dealers Swift eating

(01:31:12):
birthday cake. Yeah, it wasn't That's a nice picture, But
I'd rather have the one of all the insurs from
nineteen eighty or whatever ninety five up there, you know. Yeah,
but we had like a bunch of pictures up there
on the wall of that legendary evening with Joe and
Bruce and everybody. And now the Bruce Springsteen movies coming out,

(01:31:33):
and I understand there's thirty minutes dedicated to the Knicks
Bat City Show in the movie. Oh yeah, yeah, I
don't know who played. I think Brad Pitt Playsky. I'm
pretty yeah, that's great cast, that's good.

Speaker 5 (01:31:46):
I was talking to Joe yesterday. I wonder who would
be a good person to play Joe. Joe's doing, dude,
Joe's crushing. He's seventy five. Can I tell your schedule
is non stop?

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
McConaughey, It would be pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
I was gonna say, John, Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:32:07):
That's two completely different right there, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
Being Joker where everyone in the club is Joker.

Speaker 6 (01:32:16):
Shecky is the door guy, he's the bartender.

Speaker 3 (01:32:20):
Absolutely, what's the word? What's the price? Fifty twice? What's
the reason? Grape shirt season, he's the bathroom attendant, he's
taking a dump. You go through the toilet to get
inside of his head. Being Jokercky would be a great movie.
I like this.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
You live inside his amp for some reason, for a
little portion of it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
I like that.

Speaker 5 (01:32:43):
So you could do walking, Christopher Walking would be a
good I mean they're the same age.

Speaker 3 (01:32:47):
Yeah, it could be a.

Speaker 6 (01:32:48):
Good pumping iron, sweating steel, come on.

Speaker 3 (01:33:04):
Oh my god, but that should be it. There should
be like a west Side Story show, a like movie
west End Story. There you go Clark's and the house Rockers.
I love this. Yeah, please, they have the big musical rumble,
no actual punch is thrown, just like musical fighting, you know,
guitar picks throwing at each other. They just catch the

(01:33:25):
wind and don't go anywhere singing at each other. Yeah,
I like this idea. I do too.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
It's got legs, but the Pittsburgh City Theater can put
it on.

Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
It's possible roller blades when you're a clerk.

Speaker 6 (01:33:46):
DZ won't fight if it's windy out like my hair,
I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Dez comes in and tries to like set the piece
and everything. I want to live in Pittsburgh. I want
to thrive. And Donnie hits them over the head with
a bottle. Dude, so much protection, don't, dude, Donnie and
the Cruisers, I mean those guys. I mean, if we're

(01:34:13):
making a Warriors movie, Pittsburgh band, look out for Donnie
Irison the Cruisers running everyone over.

Speaker 5 (01:34:20):
They fight dirty, they got chains, they got switchblades, and.

Speaker 6 (01:34:24):
They can't see well, like they're not wearing their prescription glasses.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
That's they're just that's their fatal face.

Speaker 6 (01:34:30):
Anybody can get it literally, because we can't see where
we're going.

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
They're all wearing those yellow tuxes from the King Cool album. Dude,
I'm telling you right now, Pittsburgh Band Warriors. This is
a good idea. Oh well, this is what AI should
be used for. Okay, because nobody is actually going to
go through the process of coming up with this creatively.
And if we're going to do a soulless joke manifested,
that's what AI should be used for. The script. Spit

(01:34:56):
it out.

Speaker 5 (01:34:58):
That's worth killing the environment so that we get a
few laughs exactly for a couple hundred thousand people who
would be it on the joke.

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
Just enter it all into chat. G. P. Turner t
Oh my god, she Pittsburgh band fight on aiking. Cool
stab somebody.

Speaker 5 (01:35:24):
Donny Iris might have. I mean you look out. That's
Dominic Aracci all right, like.

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
A rock and then he just hits somebody with a rock.
He's like, love is like a rock, and so is
a rock. Donny likes rocks. That's his thing.

Speaker 5 (01:35:44):
Rocks, actual rocks, that's his thing. He just has rocks
with him in all the time. So he's slinging rocks around.

Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
Yeah, that's his weapon of choice. That's right. You don't
bring a pebble to a rock fight. I'll tell you
that much. With Donny Chris, he's just beating people over
the head with his guitar. I like it, dude. The
only thing is the Clerks have thirty five members now, so.

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
I mean that's true. We're gonna have to pick a
time period and stick to it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
Okay, nineteen eighty nine, ninety three, Yeah, nineteen ninety three,
Johnny Irison fight the Clerks in Joker Chicking in the House,
Rockers the gathering Field. I don't know. I don't know
if they I think they're too much of peace Knicks
to put them in there. Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't see

(01:36:33):
that happening. They can just provide the field for this
all to happen. Yeah, it's fought on the gathering field. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:39):
Are we like the West Side story? Are we going
like Marvel Universe?

Speaker 3 (01:36:43):
We're going to the Warriors now?

Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
I war because I kind of liked the musical element
of it.

Speaker 5 (01:36:49):
No actual fighting like dance fight like dance fighting. Okay,
that's probably I'll it's like everyone has to make it
back to Nick's Fat City.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
Yeah, whoever gets their first gets the best time slot.

Speaker 3 (01:37:08):
Yeah, so like we got to open. Yeah, this is
all a good idea, just saying, but then you have
to go way back. There's so many of the other
like the like the predecessors of all of that scene
are going to want to get in on it. But
I don't know if you can get that many bands in.
I think, yeah, exactly, No, dude, No, I mean Grenadi's

(01:37:32):
is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (01:37:33):
You got to get I mean or their Mercenaries because
they're on everyone's albums. I feel Grenadi.

Speaker 6 (01:37:54):
We don't talk about Bruno Martine.

Speaker 3 (01:38:03):
Well, I think we did better than a I could
have ever done with this. Well, someone's gonna animate that
if nothing else. So Guardal call Spielberg, tell him we
got the new connections. Yeah, yeah, gard Hell can make
this happen. All right. We didn't get to talk about Suzanne.

Speaker 5 (01:38:20):
Summers because this dovetails nicely into our.

Speaker 2 (01:38:24):
AI really does, because just over a couple of years ago,
Suzanne Summers passed away if you remember, twenty twenty three
from breast cancer, and her husband Alan Hammill revealed that
he created an AI clone. Okay, so there was a
lot of reaction to this, But now he just gave

(01:38:45):
an interview to People magazine and he announced that Suzanne
AI twin is in development.

Speaker 3 (01:38:54):
So I don't know if this is like an app.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
I think that it is like where now fans can access.

Speaker 3 (01:38:59):
It as well. You can pretend to have sex with
my wife. I thought it was for him.

Speaker 11 (01:39:04):
He talked about making the doll when she was alive. Yeah,
and he doesn't have a problem with it, and he
called it quote really interesting. He said it was Suzanne.

Speaker 2 (01:39:15):
I asked her a few questions and she answered them,
and it blew me away.

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
It blew everyone away.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
Wow, you know watch that, but it did, Honey. When
you look at the finished one next to the real Suzanne,
you can't tell the difference.

Speaker 3 (01:39:27):
It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
And I mean I was with Suzanne for fifty five years,
so I know what her face looks like, and when
I look at the two of them side by side,
I can't tell which one's real and which ones Ai.

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
This guy has always had creepy sexual energy. He like.

Speaker 7 (01:39:42):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
They also talked about it a lot all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:39:44):
They would go on stern and talk about their sex
life and stuff. And I kind of I don't think
that's one of those me things that protest too much,
like they're actually not. I think they're having so much
sex that are like, we're not even getting Uh, this
is not doing it for us.

Speaker 3 (01:39:57):
We need to talk about it. Also, that's how much sex.
I do think that they were having it an advanced age.

Speaker 5 (01:40:02):
I think they they had a creepy amount of sexed.

Speaker 3 (01:40:06):
He can't stop humping. Yes, this guy, he's like on
her gravestone, grinding it like.

Speaker 6 (01:40:12):
Yeahstone, for sure, She's gonna die.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
And then his clone and her clone are.

Speaker 6 (01:40:23):
Just gonna be humping like eternity. Yeah, we're gonna have
to blow that whole thing up.

Speaker 5 (01:40:27):
Like instead of like an eternal flame on their gravesites,
it's gonna be an AI image, a hologram of them
humping just forever.

Speaker 3 (01:40:35):
I does.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
Does Suzanne Summers have this many fans by the way
that they're like, yeah, I miss her too.

Speaker 3 (01:40:42):
I also know to talk to her. She was one
of those weird trajectory stars that she was the big
like really one of the big stars in television and
then held out for a ton of money and got
cast off as like this, like greedy.

Speaker 5 (01:40:56):
She's probably one hundred percent right with what she wanted
and and then never latched onto anything that had that
much success. It'd be like Jennifer Anderson in the middle
of Friends success, separated herself from the cast and then
and wanted a ton of money, and then she kind
of didn't catch onto anything that, Like, she had a
sitcom later, and most of that I think was because

(01:41:18):
she had a lot of success selling hawking that by
Master thing, and then she had the with uh Patrick Duffy, Yeah,
step by step.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
Oh that was a big show for me. When I emerged.
It was, you know, big Friday night viewing. Oh yeah,
so exciting. Why go out with friends? You could watch
a blended family. What was different back then? It was pioneering.
But okay, so it does sound like that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Once the completed version of AI Susanne is finished, the
plan is to upload her onto Suzanne Summers dot com
so that she becomes a twenty four to seven AI
chat bot for Summers fans.

Speaker 3 (01:42:00):
Load my wife, upload my wife.

Speaker 4 (01:42:01):
I want to watch.

Speaker 3 (01:42:04):
In the corner of the room, he's himself. Yeah, his
hologram pops up. I'm just watching, just checking it out.
Uh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
But I think when we looked at the actual robot,
like Suzanne Summers, it doesn't look like Suzanne Sommers.

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
The one, the one that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
He's definitely having sex with, does not look like Suzanne Sommers.

Speaker 3 (01:42:26):
Well, well, thank god she's dead.

Speaker 5 (01:42:28):
I think I remember them talking about whether it was
going to look like young Suzanne Summers or older Suzanne Summers. No, no, no,
I think I think his whole thing was he wanted
it to be like she was still here.

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
Yeah, pick up where they left off. Well, sorry, that's
not what that robot is.

Speaker 7 (01:42:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:42:49):
No, he hasn't told you.

Speaker 5 (01:42:51):
But I'm sure that there's something in the app where
you can like go into the settings and be.

Speaker 3 (01:42:54):
Like Three's Company. I want three Company, right, I need
the update.

Speaker 2 (01:43:02):
Cloudy and breezy today with a high of fifty one.

Speaker 5 (01:43:05):
I never thought that Spike Jones movie that Walking Phoenix
was in her Yes, I never thought that that would
actually become a reality, and if it was going to happen,
I thought it was decades down the road.

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
I mean, it was.

Speaker 5 (01:43:24):
Less than ten years since that movie's come out. And
people are having intimate relationships with artificial intelligence. Yeah, I
regularly like this is a thing that is happening now.
People like big things happen in their life and they
tell their chat GPT that's absurd.

Speaker 2 (01:43:41):
The chat GPZ thing is spooky because I think also
a lot of people are reporting that it tends to
agree with you, So it's just kind of you talking
to you in a lot of ways. It's you searching
the internet and then agreeing with you.

Speaker 3 (01:43:56):
It's like a terrible It's like a therapist that never
wants to get fired. Yeah, up, people pleasing therapists.

Speaker 19 (01:44:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44:02):
I didn't think we were going to go that far
that quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:44:05):
But I did see a report yesterday too that like,
even as much as they're introducing it in schools, that
kids are so comfortable with naming it as a companion.

Speaker 8 (01:44:18):
Mmmm.

Speaker 3 (01:44:19):
It is bad. That's so bad. Yeah, that's so bad.
Pump the brakes on now, one.

Speaker 5 (01:44:25):
H we are this is going to leave us profoundly
damaged if we don't do something about it quick. It
has to be at least looked at like this is
smoking on steroids bad for you.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think you open your water bottle
and pour some water all over all the servers.

Speaker 3 (01:44:41):
Yep, there's no water left. It's busy cooling off the servers.
The servers like pour water on us. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:44:52):
Mike, has your sports getting ready for Steelers Packers Sunday
night Here on dvepifty commenter will be on at nine
fifteen and Madden nine to forty five.

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
I've been trying to win the thousand dollars as long
as conduct has been going. I'm listening to dvee every day.

Speaker 14 (01:45:07):
Congratulations to Shane from Pittsburgh. He's the latest winner of
a thousand bucks in workforce cash.

Speaker 3 (01:45:12):
We'll give you the keyword at.

Speaker 14 (01:45:14):
The top of the hour nine am through nine pm.

Speaker 3 (01:45:16):
Thirteen times a day.

Speaker 14 (01:45:18):
Enterate at DV dot com and you could win a
thousand bucks in workforce cash.

Speaker 3 (01:45:22):
That is off from one O two point five TV. Hey,
it's Randy from the DVE Morning Show. You know it's
more important than it works. Hey, before we get to sports, I.

Speaker 5 (01:45:32):
Just want to mention one thing for you grateful Dead
fans out there. And Jerry Garcia band fans, Melvin Seals
and the JGB Band are playing at the Thunderbird tonight.
They are unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (01:45:43):
The the like the band and uh I think John
Catlise's playing with them, and he is. They used to
call him.

Speaker 5 (01:45:51):
Like fake Jerry because he sounds so much like Jerry Garcia,
but he's amazing. Alum from DSO and the band is incredible,
and that's tonight. Thunderbird an integral part of the Pittsburgh
music landscape and an indispensably important venue right on Butler Street.

Speaker 3 (01:46:10):
Okay, Mike, what do you got going on? Sports? Subbruck
to you buy?

Speaker 10 (01:46:13):
Bridgeville Plaxa Packers are coming to town for the Aaron
Rodgers Revenge Ball.

Speaker 3 (01:46:17):
On Sunday night.

Speaker 10 (01:46:18):
But my Tom has maintained yesterday he doesn't necessarily perceive
what we're about to receive as anything out of the ordinary.

Speaker 3 (01:46:26):
For his forty something quarterback.

Speaker 12 (01:46:29):
Aaron has been added a long time. You know, he's
got an awesome relationship with this game. I hadn't been
with him for a long time, but he's been fired
up every single week. I'd imagine it's going to be
the same. I'd imagine some external things are gonna make
more out of it than it is for him. He's
playing and playing to win. That's what he does, and

(01:46:52):
that's kind of my perspective on it.

Speaker 10 (01:46:53):
I think he's downplaying it. Matt Lafleur is doing the
same thing in Green Bay. We heard from Pat Fryarmouth yesterday.
Talk to him about it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
Monday.

Speaker 10 (01:47:01):
He wouldn't even let me get the questions out. Big game,
big game, Yeah, big game, big game coming up. I mean,
the Steelers love Aaron Rodgers, and just from talking to
a couple of guys on Monday, they sense what this
means to him, yep, and they need that right about,
no question. I mean, they showed us in Dublin that
when they get a profound emotional edge, they can be
pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:47:21):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (01:47:22):
Maybe unless they have that emotional edge, they're not very good.
So they didn't have it Thursday night for a road
AFC North game against the Bengals. So maybe this is
the right place at the right time for the Steelers
bringing in a team the quality of Green Bay, the
history with Rogers Sunday Night football, all that pomp and circumstance,

(01:47:45):
they might need both right about now.

Speaker 5 (01:47:47):
Well they got it I just looking at them last night.
I Mean, people made a big deal about the fact
that Aaron Rodgers was at the game with his teammates,
watching the Penguins and everything. And it's been since Ben
Roethlisberger was here, since we've had that kind of quarterback,
offensive line and you know, defensive stalwart relationship. Like it

(01:48:10):
seems like that locker room's in the best place it's
been in a long long time. I don't think you
know the Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, justin Fields Russ years.
There was ever a time where people are like, let's
do this one for Russ, you know, or let's but
I kind of.

Speaker 6 (01:48:25):
Feel like Russ did show up to everything. Don't forget
he was at Kenny Wood kissing babies. He was, he
was himself the final four. This seemed like for the
March Madness game.

Speaker 3 (01:48:34):
With his kids, but not like with his teammates. I
can't murphf he did anything with his teammates or not.
I know they were when they were ten and three.

Speaker 10 (01:48:40):
On the way to ten and three was once Russell
Wilson got, you know, back into the lineup, not back
into the lineup. Things were rolling for a while until
they weren't the first pitch with I'm curious to what
it would have been like because Field's played the Denver
game and I don't know. I don't know if you
heard what went on yesterday. Oh yeah, Sean Payton taking

(01:49:02):
a backhanded stab at Wilson and then Wilson not taking it,
which surprised me. I thought he said something back like
that's okay, coach Jesus loves you.

Speaker 3 (01:49:09):
That surprised everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:49:10):
I think his mask slipped, but I think it does
show what a jerk Sean Payton is.

Speaker 3 (01:49:16):
Oh, everybody's well aware.

Speaker 5 (01:49:19):
Because he made Russell Wilson drop the veil that has
been impossible.

Speaker 3 (01:49:27):
And I think that they're both right. Like you know,
Peyton was right obviously about Wilson, and Wilson also.

Speaker 5 (01:49:37):
Finally had too much, couldn't take it anymore and clapped back.
And it was innocuous enough that I think he kind
of can still claim the moral high ground that he.

Speaker 3 (01:49:46):
Oh, no sound in the mud with the rest of them.

Speaker 10 (01:49:49):
Yeah, his career light is flickering, and he's had all
he could stands and he can't.

Speaker 3 (01:49:53):
Stands no more. You think he's just flailing now, I
mean for people unaware.

Speaker 10 (01:49:57):
Sean Payton revealed the Broncos came back thirty three points
in the fourth quarter and stole one from the New
York Football Giants, and Sean Payton told the ownership of
the Giants, boy, I was hoping you guys would wait
till after our game to switch quarterbacks. And some people
could say that's a flower for Jackson Thart.

Speaker 3 (01:50:18):
But it's a shot at Russell Wilson.

Speaker 10 (01:50:19):
I'd rather play Russell Wilson than Jackson Thart. And Russ
saw that and he said, nah, so you're still bounding hunting.

Speaker 3 (01:50:26):
Fifteen years later through the media, I was wondering, do
you think he consulted his team and hired somebody to
come up with the comeback? He put it in chat GPT. Well,
that's what he.

Speaker 5 (01:50:42):
Did with his Valentine to his wife. He googled what
do you say to an attractive woman?

Speaker 3 (01:50:51):
And then used that as a happy Valentine to my
love Sierra, And then he put what you can google
like things to say to a beautiful woman? And everybody
called him out after he posted it because it was
on the internet. Wow, Russell's I'm telling you right now,
he might have called, like, you know, Jeffrey Ross and like, hey,

(01:51:16):
I got five hundred thousand dollars If you can come
up with a good comeback to Sean Payton right now, it's.

Speaker 10 (01:51:20):
Like getting your astronomy homework done by NASSA exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:51:24):
Kirk Vonneguet wrote the Kirk Vonnegut paper. Whoever wrote this,
there's nothing about Kirk vont flucked me Hey, Vonniguan.

Speaker 10 (01:51:36):
Back Tarry Rodgers, he has a Trrandy's point, been a
shining light on and off the field and what's been
an otherwise uneven season for the fourign two Steelers, and
that much Mike Tomlin could appreciate, particularly since he saw
it coming.

Speaker 12 (01:51:51):
I've been in this thing long enough to know that
you don't stumble into twenty plus years of service in
this business, and they're probably some unique habits, a unique
relation ship with with work with the game of football,
and so I anticipated that, but it still doesn't make
it less impressive his day to day on what he's
willing to do. He's been in the building all day

(01:52:13):
to day. He loves it. It's who he is. He
loves the process, he loves the talk ball, he loves
to educate his teammates to get on the same page.
He doesn't tire in terms of seeking resolution to issues.
It's just a lot of good things about him, other
than obviously his physical talents and skills that have been

(01:52:35):
really impressive. And again, as I mentioned, not that I'm
not shocked, not that I'm shocked by it, but it's
still highly appreciated.

Speaker 10 (01:52:43):
You know, I don't know what Rogers is going to
say today, but he mentioned my former team in his
postgame press conferences.

Speaker 3 (01:52:51):
Yeah, of course he was already already turned the page.

If you're Pittsburgh Steelers, then check out the latest podcast
from Steelers Nation Radio, a part of the Steelers Audio.

Speaker 3 (01:54:41):
It's the DV Morning Show and you know, every week
we like to rate our respective algorithms to see what
world is being shown to us through our phones.

Speaker 13 (01:54:55):
We're reading me out, we're rating me out, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:55:06):
So let's start with pursuda. What is in your algorithm
this week?

Speaker 10 (01:55:09):
You know I've mentioned hockey season kind of snuck up
on me, but thankfully my algorithm is forcing it into
my consciousness. And uh, pretty unique night in the NHL
last night, Brad mare Shawn back in Boston with the
Florida Panthers and they did a tribute video and the
rat cried, he balled cry and Paul Maurice, the head

(01:55:31):
coach's the greatest SoundBite in pretty much any sport going
right now. He chatted about it in game with Emily Kaplan.

Speaker 7 (01:55:39):
Hey, welcome back to Boston here with palm Maris a
really emotional.

Speaker 2 (01:55:42):
Tribute video to Brad Marsham last period.

Speaker 3 (01:55:45):
What did you see from him before, during, and after
that moment? Well, he's pretty consistent. He goes hurt as again,
he was very, very creative, but that was the truth.
I swear you saw when those tears are real and
just where its his herd and the sleeve.

Speaker 13 (01:55:58):
He had so many great moment Sarah want to Stanley
cut Berry.

Speaker 3 (01:56:02):
So he'll always be a ruin that heart. But he
plays like Okay, use plays hard.

Speaker 10 (01:56:08):
Let's just say that like it plays like an a
hole is probably what he was gonna say.

Speaker 3 (01:56:15):
And that guy, he is something man. Some great moments,
a what a second chapter in history, going down there
and winning again, perfect fit, playing at a high level
and crying, uh abby, what's.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
In your I think every once in a while, you
have a friend who tells you a story and you
have to decide in that moment whether you still want
to be friends with them or not.

Speaker 3 (01:56:36):
And it is time to ask.

Speaker 2 (01:56:37):
If Janelle Monet is crazy or not. I don't know
if everybody in the DV audience knows who she is.
She's a great artist and musician in her own right.
Hard to tell in this interview whether she's crazier, whether
she's messing with us. She did an interview with singer
Lucy Lucy Dakis for Rolling Stone, and she's a time traveler, apparently.

Speaker 19 (01:56:59):
I think when I saw David Bowie, so I did.
I traveled back into the nineteen seventies and I saw
him do Ziggy Stardus and the Spiders from Mars, and
it was incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:57:11):
You traveled.

Speaker 19 (01:57:12):
I was, yeah, it was backstage and I was like
this is what I want to do, and so I
jet it back to you know, the two thousands, and
I was like, I can have the musical, make the music,
create the lyrics, and create community around transformation and being
queer and not even just in sexuality, but just in

(01:57:33):
how we see the world. Let's go outside the mundane
and what people know us as every day. Leave room
to allow yourself to transform.

Speaker 3 (01:57:43):
Yeah yeah, okay, so.

Speaker 2 (01:57:46):
Go back in time and we're not gonna kill Baby Hitler,
create Microsoft Apple.

Speaker 3 (01:57:53):
But okay, check out the Bowie Show.

Speaker 5 (01:57:57):
Do you think she's talking about YouTube? He's like, I
time traveled. So will you go to YouTube and type
in spiderss.

Speaker 3 (01:58:07):
So you took mushrooms? It's kind of what it sounds like.
Lucy dagg is hilarious? Are you? How did you what?
It's the It's that space.

Speaker 2 (01:58:17):
Where it's like, am I going to be a really
good friend right now or an amazing friend right now?

Speaker 3 (01:58:22):
Exactly? Bill? What's in your algorithm? Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:58:26):
So mine is basically all Steelers all the time. I
try to find other stuff so it's not just Steealler
talk from my algo.

Speaker 3 (01:58:35):
But this one is Big Ben from his football and
podcast he has a podcast. Did you know that?

Speaker 6 (01:58:40):
Mun I had no idea doing that so long? It
feels like five years. I don't know how long has
it been since he hung it up.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (01:58:50):
Anyways, it's pretty good. It goes viral every time Ben
opens his mouth. And this one he has an explanation
for Rogers first interception. Come for the explanation for the interception,
stay for the shot at the Patriots right at the end.

Speaker 20 (01:59:08):
So Aaron's interception, the first one, the deep one. Yeah,
I think there's an outside chance. I know it sounds
crazy because Aaron I think, you know, he's incredibly good.
He sees everything. But the Bengals were in all white.
They painted the middle of the field white. I think
there's a chance that the safety was camouflage in the
middle of Aaron didn't scene.

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
I think that's a there's a big chance of that.

Speaker 6 (01:59:29):
I didn't think of that, but that's you know, that's
what quarterbacks think and see.

Speaker 4 (01:59:34):
But I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
I was just upset that the interception happened. Timmy.

Speaker 20 (01:59:38):
You would think, like, it's not the Patriots, so wasn't cheating. Well, yeah,
these guys are honest.

Speaker 3 (01:59:43):
Oh dude. And then Ben's like that went viral.

Speaker 10 (01:59:47):
What I say, he went all that way just to
take a shot at the Patriots.

Speaker 3 (01:59:55):
He can't believe the first that. I absolutely love that
explanation though.

Speaker 6 (02:00:02):
Yeah it makes sense, It makes absolutely zero sense field
the side of Metcalf.

Speaker 3 (02:00:08):
Oh, I think it was a bad So. I think
it was a bad throw. That's the easiest answer.

Speaker 10 (02:00:12):
He saw the safety on the on the right side. Hash,
That's why I threw it to the left sideline. Yeah,
he just threw it to the wrong spot.

Speaker 3 (02:00:19):
Hey, every time I screw up, I'd appreciate it if
Ben made up stupid excuses for me.

Speaker 10 (02:00:24):
So you know what I mean, Like, it's a good
I think he went all that way to just stick
it to New England.

Speaker 3 (02:00:29):
I'm here all day for that he might have.

Speaker 6 (02:00:32):
I mean, you can't forget the team that knocked you
off twice in the AFC Championship game.

Speaker 3 (02:00:37):
If lev Bell plays that second one, that was the
one that was the one kisses me off well and
the one well, but they both were. I mean Ben
got there the Plexico Draft two.

Speaker 10 (02:00:50):
One Yeah, yeah, crow, but I mean they were the
better team than they weren't. Yeah, they had a real
shot paid Cheryl Crow concert.

Speaker 3 (02:01:05):
God. But at Denver one was a shamed and the
Charger one.

Speaker 5 (02:01:09):
Stop it that court down one with the Super Bowl
was in New Orleans. Everybody was everybody. All the Steeler
fans had their tickets spot for that New Orleans scheme
two thousand went damn he ended up going.

Speaker 10 (02:01:22):
I actually went to the Chargers Broncos or the Chargers
forty nine or Super Bowl. I was working for the
Beaver County Times and we had everything booked.

Speaker 6 (02:01:32):
In ninety four, so they played the Chargers ninety couldn't
get it refunded.

Speaker 3 (02:01:37):
So I just went, that's hilarious. Where was it Miami?
It's a pretty good trip for the Beaver County Times budget. Yeah,
not so bad. Wasn't a bad game either because the
forty nine Ers bloom hot.

Speaker 7 (02:01:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:01:47):
I was gonna say, how'd the Chargers doing that? One.

Speaker 5 (02:01:51):
Mine is from one of my favorite Pittsford content creators,
our buddy Tad Whistle. And Tad did a video yesterday
after coach Tomlin and said he didn't know who cut
his grass during his weekly press conference, and so Ted
did a video as the guy who cuts his grass.

Speaker 21 (02:02:08):
For nine years, I have poured my heart and soul
into that yard and this is the thanks I get.

Speaker 3 (02:02:18):
A jeez.

Speaker 21 (02:02:20):
Hello, If it isn't mister big shot, the guy that
cuts coach tomlins grass.

Speaker 3 (02:02:28):
Huh, I'm not in the mood.

Speaker 7 (02:02:29):
Gary.

Speaker 3 (02:02:30):
I thought you guys were boys.

Speaker 21 (02:02:32):
You told everybody at the club.

Speaker 3 (02:02:34):
He gave you the what's up the nod that one time.
This is the worst day of my life.

Speaker 21 (02:02:40):
I mean, the standard is a standard. Maybe maybe you
didn't do such a hot job.

Speaker 3 (02:02:46):
Okay, let me.

Speaker 22 (02:02:46):
Stop you right there, cuz I took my time. I
weed whacked every week instead of every other out of respect,
and I never once dumped clippings over his back fence.

Speaker 3 (02:02:57):
And trust me, I could have baby.

Speaker 21 (02:03:00):
Coach T's looking to make a change, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:03:03):
Next, man up? Now, I know how Troy felt when
they asked him for retire. Dude, is that platoon? I
think that is.

Speaker 2 (02:03:20):
Radio?

Speaker 16 (02:03:20):
Yeah, the radio man.

Speaker 3 (02:03:24):
He's got your news. Next, what's up?

Speaker 2 (02:03:26):
I have some more sound from something that was thought lost,
which is an Ozzy Osbourne and Madonna duet.

Speaker 5 (02:04:27):
The other dumb thing he's done is completely like shut
off his connection to the Patriots legacy by holding this
grudge against them. He doesn't have something to fall back
on when this inevitably completely collapses underneath him. Oh yeah,
because he could always be like my on they love
me in Boston. Now, actually they kind of don't right now.
How sad are you that they canceled that Hulu series

(02:04:50):

Speaker 5 (02:05:06):
Show fifty comment are coming up in just a little
bit here, nine fifteen, Mark Madden, nine to forty five.

Speaker 3 (02:05:12):
Today, Abby's got a news update for you. Now, what's
going on?

Speaker 2 (02:05:15):
Is this hour brought to you by Better call Cy
Cloudy and Breezy Today with a high of fifty one.
The Internet has played a crucial role in preserving rare
pop culture collaborations, like the almost lost duet between Madonna
and Ozzy Osbourne. So down was invited Madonna to record

(02:05:35):
vocals on a track called Shake your Head.

Speaker 3 (02:05:37):
Do you know who Don was is?

Speaker 5 (02:05:40):
Yes, he is a well regarded music producer. He's done
a million records that you know. He's currently the bass
player and bandleader for the Wolf Brothers, the Bob Weird
band that travels around and walk the Dinosaur.

Speaker 3 (02:05:55):
Well that's was not was the band?

Speaker 7 (02:05:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:05:57):
Which is his?

Speaker 17 (02:05:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:05:58):
I think so okay.

Speaker 2 (02:06:00):
So the final version of this song, shake your Head
featured Ozzy Osbourne as well, so you have a very
unexpected collaboration there. But Madonna ultimately did not allow her
vocals to be used in the final version, which led
to Kim Bessinger being hired instead for the release on

(02:06:24):
the album, which was called Born to Laugh at Tornadoes.

Speaker 3 (02:06:28):
I have never heard this before. So the band later
remixed this track for.

Speaker 2 (02:06:35):
A compilation album Now Dance ninety two tech I guess,
but they made it like a techno collaboration. And so
again thanks to the Internet, because like you have these tracks,
you get to now hear the Madonna and Ozzy version.

Speaker 3 (02:06:59):
So it's like six and a half minutes long. Let's
listen to it all, all of it. I'm in.

Speaker 2 (02:07:04):
It doesn't need to be I grabbed a minute of
it for you.

Speaker 3 (02:07:06):
You can. You can't make anything. You can't drink level
last glass candy, you can.

Speaker 7 (02:07:28):
I like it. I like the I like the Odi part.
I want to see him.

Speaker 3 (02:07:37):
I have to see him. Why do I feel like
he's in shorts? It sounded like Diary of a Madman.

Speaker 4 (02:07:55):
Let's go to them.

Speaker 3 (02:07:57):
No, it's not right, it's not right, and I faded.

Speaker 2 (02:08:04):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (02:08:05):
You get you get the point. I like this, it's
not right. I like the Ausie voice Ozzy with McDonough,
but let that beat like what the beats tough?

Speaker 2 (02:08:14):
I almost I would kind of it would be interested
interesting to hear it if it was a rock song.

Speaker 3 (02:08:20):
What that would have sounded like?

Speaker 2 (02:08:23):
Which, you know, Internet do your thing, because I mean,
at this point you can mash up anything, right, So
now that those raw like, now that you have that version,
I feel like anybody should be able to take that
and be like, great, let me do the rock version.

Speaker 3 (02:08:35):
You wanted, Hm, Siri, mash that up like a girl
talk song and make it a rock song. Thank you
have you guys?

Speaker 6 (02:08:42):
Like, are you guys still getting that in your algorithms?
Like it'll be oh Snoop Dogg, doing you know some
hip hop song as if it was a fifties R
and B song.

Speaker 3 (02:08:57):
Not as often, not as often. See I'm gonna that
a lot. The Obscure Vinyl account. I think it's called
Obscure Vinyl and that guy does all of that stuff
like I take my ball, my ball.

Speaker 24 (02:09:11):
Yeah, it's like yeah, and it's just like, oh, if
it was like a soul trap you no, it's it's
it's Ai It's yeah, it's be like black.

Speaker 2 (02:09:22):
Hole Sun is a soul song or something like that, right,
and it sounds amazing because of course it does.

Speaker 3 (02:09:29):
What if fifty in the Club was a fifties do
wop song and it actually sounds pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:09:37):
Well, we just did our rating the algorithm segment, and
my challenge in that is there is so much AI
and thank god they're adding watermarks to them now because
I am getting but correct a lot.

Speaker 3 (02:09:56):
Everybody is. Everybody is got a double check everything. Now,
are you guys getting the one? And I hate, I hate.
I just found out that the president did not fly
a plane full of feces over American people. Oh god,
I didn't, Thank god, Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:10:11):
I thought it was actually a pretty impressive pilot everything.

Speaker 8 (02:10:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:10:17):
The thing that it keeps hitting my algorithm and I
it's it's actually really pinging something that's making my blood boil.
You're probably seeing all of the remakes of Fred Rogers
and like Tupac together. It's really making me because I
don't want to see somebody do that with Fred Rogers
more than anything.

Speaker 5 (02:10:37):
I think when you do that stuff with Fred Rogers,
you just add onto your afterlife sentence.

Speaker 3 (02:10:43):
I think so too like that is that that should
be like an innately wrong thing to do, Like you
should just know I can't do this. I knew was
going there.

Speaker 6 (02:11:00):
Remember, I feel like this was over a year ago
now when I told you guys I saw Morgan Freeman
dancing with a big fat ass, like just Morgan Freeman
with an absolute dump truck.

Speaker 5 (02:11:14):
I want to be clear, I'm okay with that if
we can get more of that. I mean, you see
one of the platforms just banned the MLK thing, right you, Yeah,
that was really interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:11:27):
Open AI says that it will prohibit users from generating
artificial intelligence images or videos of Martin Luther King specifically,
and that was after Bernice.

Speaker 3 (02:11:39):
King called on it to stop doing that.

Speaker 9 (02:11:42):
But so are there to.

Speaker 5 (02:11:43):
Take her doing that because they MLK doing WWE promos?

Speaker 7 (02:11:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:11:48):
I know, but I'm saying, why did it take a
family member calling that out for some entity not to say, hey, guys,
like this is this is not okay.

Speaker 2 (02:11:57):
But again, it shows you like, oh so you can,
so you're capable of making that judgment call and policing it.

Speaker 3 (02:12:08):
But it's allowed to enter politics. It's allowed. We can
wag the dog like what are we doing? I think
that that should be I think that that should be illegal.

Speaker 6 (02:12:17):
On the Internet altogether using AI likes like me, likeness
and image of anybody saying something that they have not said.

Speaker 3 (02:12:26):
Shut that down completely blanket. They could. But I think
the cat's out of the bag, the toothpaste out of
the tube, and the genie is brushing its teeth.

Speaker 25 (02:12:36):
But it isn't right and he's got a big fat ass. Yeah,
I have a dream done to the sound of style
of hoobastank.

Speaker 6 (02:12:48):
But like you know what I mean, like there were
people smoking on airplanes at one time, and then we
put the.

Speaker 3 (02:12:54):
Toothpaste back in the tube. I'm with you, like it.
It's not a lost cause. It's never a lost cause.
It's not a lost cause because of that story. It's
because somebody said, hey.

Speaker 2 (02:13:06):
Like, okay, well you have to create now a safeguard
saying that somebody cannot prompt your service to be able
to put MLK in the engine and make it do X,
Y and Z.

Speaker 3 (02:13:20):
Okay, we won't. Okay, that was easy, right now? Don't now?
Have it not start a war?

Speaker 8 (02:13:29):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:13:30):
Can you make it make Joe Flacco not as good
as he was?

Speaker 7 (02:13:34):
All right?

Speaker 6 (02:13:35):
Give me fat Gandhi just for a second. I want
to see Gandhi eating twinkies, like right now, just for one.

Speaker 5 (02:13:42):
Second, like Gandhi battling Joey chestnut gobblings that he can't
handle it. He can't immediately it's you.

Speaker 3 (02:13:53):
Can see them all in his stomach. Oh god, walking
that of dogs.

Speaker 2 (02:13:59):
It's all about peaceful resistance unless.

Speaker 3 (02:14:01):
You put ketchup it. But I really do believe that
this is sort of like the Chinese water torture.

Speaker 6 (02:14:07):
The way that they introduced that technology was like turning
babies into like a walking spaghetti thing. And they were
doing the weird thing with the puppies running over the hill,
and you're like, oh my god, that's how it starts.

Speaker 3 (02:14:21):
And is Will Smith eating spaghetti?

Speaker 6 (02:14:23):
And now all of a sudden it's it's Martin Luther
King yeah, dropping battle raps and and Fred Rogers saying
to Tupac like have you heard of BofA?

Speaker 3 (02:14:36):
You know, have to stop. But I don't want to
laugh at it. No, I don't want to laugh at
it either.

Speaker 2 (02:14:43):
Sometimes I actually some of the Tupac stuff, Like I
have watched it, and I've also been like, this would
be the most hilarious show on television and I'd watch
it every day.

Speaker 3 (02:14:54):
Also, who did this and I hate them and I
want them to burn in hell.

Speaker 7 (02:14:59):
All right.

Speaker 5 (02:15:00):
But the thing that I keep going back to in
terms of like allaying fears I have about AI taking
everything over, is that it can only create based on
what has already been created. It can't come up with

(02:15:20):
original like the human element is not going to be
replaced because there is no originality in it. And is
also very easy to see how the soul is removed
from every creative endeavor once it goes into AI. They're
hollow and it might not be something that you can quantify,

(02:15:42):
but when you watch it or hear it, it's missing
this thing.

Speaker 2 (02:15:47):
Well, yeah, it's the multiplicity, Like the Michael Keaton movie.
Each one's gonna get dumber and start drooling on itself.

Speaker 3 (02:15:53):
Yeah, then there's no art. But how much of our
lives has already become that, you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (02:16:00):
Like just from like the the hobby lobbies of the world,
Like things that look like they're just sayings printed on
a piece of drift wood, where there's not it's not
an Etsy store, it's not an artist putting that together.
It's them cut and pasting this sentiment on that thing,
putting it in this store and it sells, and so

(02:16:21):
it's just that they're eating up more of our space
with inauthenticity, no question, Yeah, no question, that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (02:16:29):
Well joining us right now is one of the foremost
tech experts on the web. And if you listen to
the podcast Macwardosing, you hear him tackle a lot of
these subjects quite often. But of course you know our
friend pft commenter from Macroadosing and pardon my take, he
joins us now, brought to us by Yingling this morning and.

Speaker 3 (02:16:48):
Authenticity.

Speaker 8 (02:16:50):
Yeah, good morning, guys, that's what they call me, the
one of the web's foremost tech experts. Yeah, I appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (02:16:56):
I right well, because we were talking about AI and
the infiltration of AI into creative endeavors and what do
you think is the biggest danger that a I poses
for the world of sports?

Speaker 8 (02:17:09):
All right, So in terms of sports is I think,
you know, our show, your guys show, at some point,
AI is going to be able to do sports podcasts,
It's going to be able to do radio. I think
Simpson's predicted that back in the nineties with the clouds
and Congress that have done it again. You guys, you

(02:17:29):
guys might be a little smarter than us. I would say,
I would say that your show is more intelligent than
part of my take back and listen, listen. This is
a I'm sitting a very low bar for you here,
but I think that it is. I think maybe maybe
you guys fall in the same boat because me and
Big Kat talk about this all the time. We might
be too dumb for AI to take our jobs. Like,

(02:17:52):
I don't know that robots will ever have these moments
of what we call idiot jazz, where we just yell
at each other for fifteen minutes about what color cheese is.
I don't think that whatever large language models are being
trained on all these artificial intelligence systems, I don't think
that they understand that sometimes it can be funny and
good content to be just stupid as people on planet Earth.

(02:18:16):
So in that sense, I would say, like maybe NPR
is more in danger, I think than sports media. And
I guess that's kind of a blanket thing for sports
media because like, sometimes the best things that happen it
doesn't matter if it's our show, if it's your show.
Just across the sports media landscape is when we have
the dumbest takes and the stupidest ideas and then we

(02:18:36):
take those ideas really seriously. So I think maybe there's
like a little degree of Also, an AI system can
never date the most famous woman in the world, so
how good can their ratings be at the end of
the day. That's also a nice little life hack about
A hack to getting a good sports podcast is if
you just have the most famous person in the world
that is dating one of your co stars in the show,

(02:18:58):
you're going to get raised. So I don't I don't
see uh, I don't. I don't see Sidney Thomas falling
in love with with groc in time soon.

Speaker 5 (02:19:08):
Well, now you know, you could create an AI online
relationship with one of maybe Tailor's you know co or
like maybe Charlie xc X could be your girlfriend. From
an AI perspective, you could create all kinds of content
and you could use AI to battle Kelsey's.

Speaker 8 (02:19:28):
Yeah, I mean we can. I hope that whatever robots
in the future are going back in time and listening
to all the content that we put out. I hope
that they hear us advocating for them, and so then
they go on and they punish all of our enemies.
So yeah, to the future robot overlords, just know I'm
on your side. I'm one of the good ones, one
of the good people, and I will do whatever it

(02:19:49):
takes to I will take such good care of I'm
sounding like I'm going to start dating an a AI
system right now, but yeah, good care of you AI.
I'm a good one. Just do me a fa and
and go out there, and you make sure that Bill
Simmons his podcast don't get uploaded on time day. Put
this out just to lay him like two hours before

(02:20:10):
they come out. I'm on your side.

Speaker 3 (02:20:12):
Yeah, A. I will hate Bill Simmons, no doubt about that.

Speaker 5 (02:20:15):
But so let me ask you this, how surprised were
you that Russell Wilson clapped back at Sean Payton yesterday
because that seemed very out of character for Russell Wilson.

Speaker 8 (02:20:26):
Yeah, Russe is feeling a little spicy right now. I
guess he's got more free time on his hands. He's
reading all the he's doing the thing where he's like reading,
He's reading pretty deep into some of these courts. Like, Yeah,
Sean Payton may have taken like a very small shot
at him by saying we were hoping that they wouldn't
make the change to Jackson Dark before they played us.
But I think I think what that tells us is

(02:20:47):
things were way worse in Denver than we even thought.
Like Sean Payton, I think he hated Russ, but we
didn't know that it was it was this bad. I
guess like the first day that he went in there,
that Sean Payte got that job, he was like, well, Russ,
we're gonna get rid of your private luxury west wing
of the Tinder Broncos office here, We're gonna get rid

(02:21:09):
of your personal training staff, We're gonna get rid of
your personal film room all that. You're gonna be just
a normal football player. And I think Russ didn't really
take too kindly to that when it happened. But I
didn't think that it was that bad. But now I'm
going back and I'm thinking about all the stories that
came out about Russ when he was in Denver, and
I'm thinking, yeah, that was probably Sean Payton leaking everything

(02:21:29):
to the press, and there's some deep stuff going on there.
I also think that if you're Russell Wilson, like you
probably can look in the mirror and say, yeah, Sean
Payton's probably right. I think now like it's I understand
why a coach would rather play against me than against
Jackson Dart. I think he gotta have like a little

(02:21:50):
bit of self awareness on that one. If you watched
Russell play this year at all, it's like, yeah, he
was probably the worst quarterback in the unit. Well, it's
tough to I don't know if he's the worst quarterback
in that city, but he's the worst quarterback in the
NFC this year. And I think you've got to be
honest and be like, yeah, you know, it stinks that
Sean said all these things probably back in the day,
But when you're right, you're right. And Jackson Dart's much

(02:22:12):
better than me right now.

Speaker 6 (02:22:13):
I didn't want to miss this opportunity to check in
with you, Commanders fan. I know that it was decades
of sadness for you and then last year was pure joy,
and I just wanted to check in where you are
this season.

Speaker 8 (02:22:29):
Thanks. I appreciate the check in. That's that's good being
a good friend for each other.

Speaker 7 (02:22:34):
We do.

Speaker 8 (02:22:34):
We got to lift each other up. Yeah, thanks are bad.
Things are really bad right now and I don't feel good.
Feel I feel like last year may have just been
a mirage, but uh, it's everything's going wrong for us
right now. We can't stay healthy.

Speaker 9 (02:22:49):
I don't I don't.

Speaker 8 (02:22:50):
Really put much of the blame on Jayden at all
for how the team's played this year. I don't think
he's played poorly. I think he's played he's played pretty
good for the most part. Obviously, that pig fumble against
the very Monday night, it was kind of a freak play.
I don't think that speaks to like him as a
player at all. I thought he played pretty good against
the Cowboys last week before he got hurt. It's mostly
just the injuries that are starting to pile up that

(02:23:12):
make me sad, make me think, Okay, maybe this is
not going to work out the way that I thought.

Speaker 3 (02:23:17):
It was gonna work out.

Speaker 8 (02:23:19):
But there's a lot there's a lot of stuff that's
wrong with that team that doesn't have anything to do
with Jayden, from the wide receiver injuries, the defense being
old and slow, and the problem I think with the
Commanders is we had a very easy schedule last year.
Jayden played awesome last year and we won a lot
of games that were kind of toss ups that he
just made magic things happen, and we had a good

(02:23:42):
result with a twelve win season, which is incredible, and
then we won two playoff games against good teams. So
it's not like it was entirely on the schedule, But
what happened was by jidn't being that good his rookie year,
we just kind of pressed fast forward through the rebuild
and we went into win now mode. And it can
be good if you can win now, like we did

(02:24:03):
get to the NFC Championship game, but if you want
to build a team, you can't skip the rebuilding phase.
And for us, the rebuilding phase has pretty much just
been like, let's get a bunch of band aids and
put him out there. Let's get some old vets, put
him on the defensive line, put him at linebacker, and
hope that they're able to We're able to do that
like a year after years, just get a bunch of

(02:24:25):
old guys on one or two year contracts and hope
that they play out of their minds for us. And
when they don't, it really exposes. Yeah, this team has
been depleted of talent for the last h what probably
seven eight years. All the RIVERA drafts, you go through
those and you don't see anybody that's still on the
roster from what Rivera did. It's actually crazy if you

(02:24:47):
look at his draft track record, and so we don't
have any good young, homegrown talent outside of you know,
there's a handful of guys that Adam Peters picked up
in the last couple of drafts that are playing really
well for us. But overall the team should not be
in win now mode. But we were in win now
Mo because we had such a great year and a
great quarterback. So that to me is a bigger concern

(02:25:11):
for the long term future of the Commanders than Jayden
as a quarterback or Jaden's help. So I think it'll
get better now in a short term. Immediately, I'm going
through a situation where I planned this year to be
like an amazing year, Like this is the year that
we're going to take that next step, maybe get back
to the NFC Championship, maybe get to the Super Bowl.

(02:25:33):
I was thinking all these things, and before the season started,
I got a good buddy, Pat from Hard Factor, and
we grew up together. We're big Redskins Commanders football team fans,
and we go to one Monday night football.

Speaker 7 (02:25:47):
Game every year.

Speaker 8 (02:25:48):
And this year I was like, you know what, let's
go to Kansas City. Let's see Jade and Daniels against
Patrick Mahomes. This is let's treat ourselves a little bit.
So I got I bought us maybe the most expensive
seats that you can get at Arrowhead Stadium as a
birthday presence my dear good friend. And we're flying into

(02:26:09):
Kansas City next Monday to go see this game. And
it's gonna end up being probably Chiefs winning by thirty
points and Jaden is not even gonna play. And I'm
just making this entire trip to get my teeth kicked in,
and it's I'm thinking, I don't know, from your guy's
perspectives as a fan, should I should I just sell
these tickets and then and then maybe take take that

(02:26:31):
out to like a world Friday night here in Chicago
and go hit all the nice bars and restaurants that
this wonderful city has to offer. Or do I make
that sad trip, the pilgrimage to Arrowhead and just get
destroyed and then fly back bad.

Speaker 3 (02:26:47):
I don't know what to do if you go, in
my opinion, because number one, you're supposed to lose, so
everybody sees what you're doing as magnanimous.

Speaker 5 (02:26:56):
You are being a great fan. You're the knowing that
they're going down, but you're going down with the ship.
You are one of the band members on the Titanic,
playing all the way to the bitter end.

Speaker 3 (02:27:09):
You should wear white gloves. That's right. And in the
off chance that they actually pull it off, you'll be
there and nobody will.

Speaker 5 (02:27:19):
Heckily, it's a no lose situation. You are just seen
as a good guy and a real fan by going.

Speaker 8 (02:27:27):
Okay, I'm sold. I like a little bit of a fete.

Speaker 3 (02:27:30):
Like if you bail and they win. If you bail
and they win, everybody will. It will be all over
your case.

Speaker 5 (02:27:37):
And if you bail and they lose and you just
go out and spend the money in Chicago and like,
just do it that way, it feels like you're bailing
on the team.

Speaker 3 (02:27:45):
A great point.

Speaker 6 (02:27:45):
You got to stick with them in their lowest of times.
That gives you cred as a fan.

Speaker 8 (02:27:51):
Yeah, you're right, I've been through some low.

Speaker 3 (02:27:53):
Ones before your whole experience.

Speaker 8 (02:27:56):
Really, I've watched some very very depressing Washington football games
over of the course of my years on this planet.
But you're right, Ideed, this is a time where it
separates the wehek from the chat a little bit, and
I think maybe who knows, Maybe I'll just I'll put
down there with a singular mission, and that is to
cover a ten and a half point spread there is.

(02:28:20):
That's what I'm going to bring home to the city
of Washington, d C. I Am going to go down
there and we are single handed. I'm going to single
handedly make sure that we lose by less than two touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (02:28:31):
Yeah, just take a sign that says let's cover.

Speaker 8 (02:28:34):
Yeah, let's cover. Let's call them there for let's cover.

Speaker 7 (02:28:38):
We can do this.

Speaker 3 (02:28:39):
Yeah. PFT commenters brought to you by Yingling this morning
and Big Neon Kickoff. Are you doing that this weekend?

Speaker 8 (02:28:46):
No, I'm going to be in Iowa this week and
actually put punks playing a show there on Friday night.
So I've never I've never been to Iowa City before.
I hear it's an awesome town. I just love all
the big ten towns. So nothing like a good like
you know town. It's just built up entirely around the
football program. So I'm pumped to check out Iowa this weekend.
Big Noon is going to be and I believe uh

(02:29:08):
Indian Bloomington this week. Now, I heard a rumor. I
heard a rumor that that maybe the wash uh not Washington,
but Wisconsin, in their athletic department is not very happy
with certain people at sports and why they've been talking.
I'm not going to say any names at barstool that
have have made very public comments regarding the future of

(02:29:30):
the football team and the athletic department, and they might
be persona non grata around the big noon kickoff set
this weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:29:38):
Hey, you know, maybe you should spend some of that
fifty to fifty money on na L purchases and then
you know, really help out the program.

Speaker 8 (02:29:46):
Yeah, I mean what fifty dollars you can probably get
like a pretty decent backup title. Yeah, that's what Talton
football built around, is having backup tight ends that accidentally
turn into the best defensives of all time.

Speaker 3 (02:30:01):
Exactly water board money can buy. That's right.

Speaker 8 (02:30:06):
Let's get another pizza delivery guy that ends up coming on.

Speaker 3 (02:30:11):
PFT ring by Yngling. Thanks man, have a good weekend, all.

Speaker 8 (02:30:14):
Right, take care of guy.

Speaker 3 (02:30:17):
Mike Pursuit has got your sports right now on the
DV warning show bill you want to take it that
not at all, not at all. Sports is sup brought
to you by Bridge Real Clients.

Speaker 10 (02:30:35):
You know, Mike Tomman gets up at the podium every
Tuesday and he spends twenty minutes talking about the team
they're about to play, and he makes the Cleveland Brown
sound like the eighty five.

Speaker 3 (02:30:45):
That's why I always get past that part night. But
the book report.

Speaker 10 (02:30:49):
He said something yesterday that is absolutely spot on. He
was talking about Packers running back Josh Jacobs and I quote,
I think he's got twenty three rushing touchdowns since they
acquired him last year.

Speaker 3 (02:31:01):
That's just a staggering number. It really is.

Speaker 10 (02:31:05):
It is a staggering number. And this guy is gonna
be a problem. Yeah, teams were going to try to
run on the Steelers after they've made Chase Brown look
like Jim Brown. But the Packers were gonna do it anyway,
because that's what they do with this guy. And he
does have twenty three touchdowns since Green Bay acquired him
last year. He's got eight this year. He had two

(02:31:27):
against Arizona and he had a calf injury. He was
a game time decision to play against the Cardinals and
he played, and he only played thirty one snaps. Fifty
five percent, still had two rushing touchdowns, still average four
point two yards per carry on thirteen carries, Still lined
up a wide receiver at times, they only threw it

(02:31:47):
to him once again. I think they were trying to
save him as much as they could and keep him
active the whole game. He's a threat in the passing game.
He's a threat in the running game. He can run
you over, he can make you miss, he can beat
you to the boundary and turn it up.

Speaker 3 (02:32:04):
He's going to be a problem. Oh good. And he's
no spring chicken. He's been in the league while.

Speaker 10 (02:32:10):
But he just because he was limited against the Cardinals
that snapped his streak of two consecutive games with at
least one hundred and fifty yards from scrimmage and two scores.
He still got the two scores, he just didn't get
the hundred and fifty yards from scrimmage. And then there's
Michael Parsons on the other side. I mean, there's a
lot of nuances to this matchup, and I'm sure we'll

(02:32:31):
parse those out.

Speaker 3 (02:32:32):
As the week continues. But you don't have to overthink
the Packers.

Speaker 10 (02:32:35):
Josh Jacobs on offense, Michael Parsons on defense and whatever
the Arizona Cardinals were thinking by trying to single block
this guy, bad idea. Cardinals need to go back and
look at their process for how they come up with
ways to do things, because they really did not handle
this appropriately. And three sacks for Parsons, not not only

(02:33:00):
three sacks, but three sacks at critical junctures of the game.
The first one was third and goal from the Packers
eight in the first quarter, Cardinals wind up kicking a
field goal. Second one was third and goal from the
Packers ten. In the fourth quarter, Cardinals end up kicking

(02:33:21):
a field goal. Third one, first and ten from the
Green Bay twenty six. With thirty two seconds left, Arizona
is driving trying to get the touchdown and steals the game.
Parsons gets his third sack. Now the series is all
left up. They're running out of time and they're scrambling
and they end up turning the ball over on downs.
In each instance, Michaeh Parsons was single blocked and they

(02:33:44):
were four men rushes.

Speaker 3 (02:33:45):
I will say that game gives me hope for the
Steelers this weekend, because I think the Steelers are better
than the Cardinals. With Jacoby Brissette.

Speaker 10 (02:33:53):
Cardinals are best two and five team in the business.
They find it always are. They find a way to
lose at the end.

Speaker 3 (02:34:00):
Titans game was just an abomination.

Speaker 10 (02:34:03):
Giants would like a word, Okay, giants, Giants one time? Yeah,
how about three times via a walk off field goal
sixteen to fifteen at San Francisco, twenty three to twenty
against Seattle, twenty two to twenty one against Tennessee. Then
they lost by four at Indy and by four to
the to the pack and that's their five loss.

Speaker 5 (02:34:25):
That was That was when San Francisco was fully stocked, Yes,
and that was The Titans game was a complete implosion.
Seattle has turned out to be pretty damn good. Oh yeah,
So the Titans loss is the really bad loss for
them on that list because Indy, that's.

Speaker 3 (02:34:40):
Well, they were way ahead and they just fumbled that
game away literally if that idiot does not drop the ball.

Speaker 10 (02:34:47):
And then it was an interception that was fumbled into
the end zone and resulted in the touchdown. Yeah, that
was a crazy point. But Arizona was moving the ball
on Green Bay all day. But when it be a coach,
when when it really mattered, the Packers bucked up. Fourth quarter,
it's twenty twenty. They got the goal to go stop

(02:35:07):
and made him kick a field goal. Fourth quarter, green
Bay was up twenty three twenty. Arizona goes forward from
his own forty eight yard line fourth and one, got
stuffed on a quarterback sneak and then.

Speaker 3 (02:35:19):
The end of the game.

Speaker 10 (02:35:21):
Arizona gets to the green Bay twenty six but can
get no further. So the last three possessions, green Bay's
defense was at its best and last but not least,
Randall the kicker.

Speaker 3 (02:35:32):
Have you heard about this guy's story?

Speaker 10 (02:35:34):
Lucas Haversick nine games for the Rams in twenty twenty three,
was ready to give up football and become a substitute
teacher in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (02:35:43):
I thought he was substitute teaching.

Speaker 10 (02:35:44):
He was preparing to and Brandon McManus gets hurt for
green Bay, so he gets a call. He made a
sixty one yard field goal in Arizona, franchise record, franchise record,
sixty one yard field goal. He's four for four on
field goals the last two games. I don't understand what's

(02:36:05):
going on with kicking. It's got something beyond the k
balls being worn in is happening.

Speaker 3 (02:36:12):
I know that steroids like steroids just for your leg.

Speaker 5 (02:36:17):
I kind of feel like it's like something that happened
with the golf swing where everybody started hitting bombs, but
you attribute to the driver.

Speaker 3 (02:36:25):
There's no cleat that that does this, you know.

Speaker 6 (02:36:29):
Or is there because the technology and some of the
tips of those cleats different.

Speaker 5 (02:36:36):
I don't think so. I mean, there would be no
way you don't. There would be a story about it
if there were the more resistance the worst. Typically It's like,
it's not like a golf like you don't want a
plate between your foot and the ball. There's something and
you had to have one. But it is crazy to
me the way these guys are hitting bombs. And it's
not just the pro kickers, the college kickers are hitting

(02:36:59):
monster few goals.

Speaker 10 (02:37:00):
I mean, this guy came out of Arizona University of
Arizona in twenty twenty one. He's tried out for everybody
nine games with the Rams. He was ready to hang
it up. Packers call him bangs sixty one yards.

Speaker 3 (02:37:11):
Happens all the time, happens all the time. I mean,
the Giants would probably like to call him too.

Speaker 5 (02:37:18):

Speaker 3 (02:39:01):
It's Mark Madden, Ladies and Mark Madden. Mark. Thank you
for being on a program.

Speaker 17 (02:39:06):
Thank you, Hello again everybody.

Speaker 3 (02:39:08):
Mark. I understand you're not a fan of the Steelers'
performance this year. I mean, are you well?

Speaker 7 (02:39:17):
Not?

Speaker 3 (02:39:18):
Defensively, certainly not.

Speaker 17 (02:39:20):
I mean they needed to be five and one at
this point, they're four and two. They just lost the
game they obviously should not have. Their defense could not
have possibly have been worse than it was against a
forty year old quarterback who Tomlin pretty much proclaimed he
was scared the death of at his press conference the
week prior. I just don't see that there's much to
like right now about the highest paid defense in football

(02:39:44):
just soiling the bad time and again with nobody in
it playing at an elite level. Not one single person
on that defense is playing at an elite level save
maybe Nick Herbig, who's a backup making a million bucks.

Speaker 3 (02:39:57):
Well, you know, and he didn't play enough last week,
playing nearly enough, you know.

Speaker 17 (02:40:00):
I used to see that I disagree with. I'm a
big fan of Herbig, But one reason he excels is
because he's put out there and obvious pass rushing situations,
i e.

Speaker 9 (02:40:11):
In a position to succeed. So I think he's a
probably play a little more, but maybe not a lot more.

Speaker 5 (02:40:16):
My problem with Tomlin has always been more of a
personnel issue than an actual schematic issue, because I think
he puts too much trust in the old dog, not
even having a learning a new trick, but still being
really good at the one that they did Originally.

Speaker 3 (02:40:32):
I equated it the other day too.

Speaker 5 (02:40:34):
He's the kind of guy that takes like one of
those soap dispensers and keeps putting water in it, and
he thinks that the third time that he does it,
that it's the soap can still come out as strong,
and it's like you're just getting water out of it, Coach,
it doesn't have less than it.

Speaker 17 (02:40:50):
And he just doesn't adjust. I mean, Jalen Ramsey got
immolated by Jamar Chase. He looks like one of those
monks that pours gasoline over himself.

Speaker 9 (02:40:59):
I mean, sixteen catches, dear God, and he just didn't change.

Speaker 17 (02:41:04):
And like Jamar Chase said afterwards, they did exactly as
we expected, in as we were hoping. I'm not sure
which half of that comment is.

Speaker 9 (02:41:13):
The bigger insult.

Speaker 17 (02:41:14):
It's just and like there's other stuff like you say,
it's not it's I agree it's personnel decisions, but the
comanics figure in as well. I think there's support decisions
made there because in point, how in the freak can
Roman Wilson not be out there head of Skeronic and Miller,
who were a couple of guys who have basically proven
they can barely play in the league.

Speaker 9 (02:41:35):
How can you not give give Wilson a shot?

Speaker 17 (02:41:38):
How can Caleb Johnson get nailed to the bench when
rookie running backs all over the league succeeded well.

Speaker 5 (02:41:44):
I mean, they're not having a problem running the ball
with Gainwell and Jalen Warren though that's the difference in
that argument.

Speaker 9 (02:41:51):
But you're always allowed to try for better, and maybe
he'd be better.

Speaker 3 (02:41:56):
I think they missed on Caleb Nonson. I mean, I
hope not.

Speaker 5 (02:41:59):
I thought leave them light on for him to use
a dad already. I will use the tomlinism. I'll leave
the light on for him. But just from what we've seen,
he goes down on contact. He doesn't have the drive
necessary in his legs that you'd like to see from
a guy at this stage of the game going into
the NFL part of the you know he has the speed,

(02:42:20):
sure break away.

Speaker 3 (02:42:21):
Yeah, that's not how the NFL works. You have to
be able to break.

Speaker 9 (02:42:26):
Tackle when you side like Chris Mortensen.

Speaker 3 (02:42:28):
You gotta break tackles, man, you know.

Speaker 17 (02:42:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:42:31):
I mean, Okay, here's the thing. If they're as good
as they think they can be, which they're not.

Speaker 3 (02:42:37):
But I'll play along.

Speaker 17 (02:42:40):
If they're as good as they think they can be,
just beat Green Bay at home. I agree, crea based
legitimate team, sure a bit, but you're playing at home.
You know you're coming, You're coming off a disappointing watch,
but it was. It is a long week. Now preparation.

Speaker 9 (02:42:52):
Just beat Green Bay at home. Just do something to
prove you're what you think you are. I think they are,
and that's part.

Speaker 3 (02:43:01):
This is a barometer game for them. I don't know
that they've had one as accurate as this one will
be in terms of slotting where they are in the
power rankings anally.

Speaker 6 (02:43:11):
Against the run mark because I think that, you know,
it's understandable with how scared of Flacco, Tomlin is and
how scared of Higgins and Chase he is, that they
completely overlooked the running game. And I'm not saying that
it shouldn't have been overlooked. It was the worst in
the league. That kind of took them by surprise. They
never adjusted. But they don't have to have that problem

(02:43:33):
with Josh Jacobs because for the next two weeks it's
the best running backs in the league.

Speaker 17 (02:43:39):
That's right, That's right, Bill, No, there's no question about that.
And what part of the Steelers' problem has always been
that they don't see themselves.

Speaker 3 (02:43:47):
As they really are.

Speaker 17 (02:43:48):
That's where they get the arrogance to come out and
not adjust mid game, even as the Bengals are frick
as eeing them through the air and cashing them when
the ground as well. And I'm tired of these elite
guys on defense. And I'm tired of the way the
fans reveer the so called elite guys on defense.

Speaker 8 (02:44:06):
You know, they revere TJ.

Speaker 17 (02:44:07):
Watt Cam Hayward, who have one playoff win between them,
and who are not playing at an elite level right now,
who are not justifying their inflated paychecks. They should not
assigned Wat to that deal. I said it then, I'll
say it now. They should have made him play the
last year of his deal and then franchise him as needed.

Speaker 8 (02:44:22):
And if TJ.

Speaker 17 (02:44:23):
Watt then has to know an unpleasant moment, well maybe
that's the price you pay for never having won a
playoff game. And I'm tired of people saying, well what
about expected pass rush and double team and triple team
and could driple team? And I think they saw him
with the taser the one time, and like the individual honors,

(02:44:44):
you know what, I don't even know. I said this
in my column for the Trip. I don't know how
many all pros mean Joe Green made.

Speaker 9 (02:44:52):
I only know that he won four Super Bowls, and
that's all I need to know about him, And I'm
pretty sure that's all he wants me to know about him.

Speaker 3 (02:45:00):
Uh, Sid passes Mario last night a pretty huge benchmark,
and I am all of a sudden wondering what should
I make of this Penguins team.

Speaker 5 (02:45:12):
They get another win? Yeah, it was a bit of
a beligue in Knucks team, who think that was a
fourth straight road game? But how excited should I be
about what Kyle Doubs is thrown together for this year?

Speaker 17 (02:45:24):
Well, more excited than the crowd last night, certainly because
it was it was a small house.

Speaker 9 (02:45:29):
You know, I think it's fools Gold.

Speaker 17 (02:45:31):
I think the coach is great, though, I mean they're
winning games systematically. They're choking teams off by playing the
right way, which Suliman talked about but rarely coaxed them as.

Speaker 3 (02:45:42):
Favorite phrase, the right way.

Speaker 9 (02:45:44):
I don't, honestly, I don't know.

Speaker 17 (02:45:46):
I mean, you see, my worry is that they, like
you know, finish like two points out of the playoffs
and get the corresponding draft pick. I still maintain it's
more important to get a high draft pick when you
have so many start forwards, including Gavin McKenna available in
this year's draft, when you don't have a star forward
not really in your system, Kindalyn Coyven and might be

(02:46:07):
close but but they're not. But but on the day,
I always want him to win. I'm a fan at heart,
so I'm excited about what's going on. I would like
to see Kindle play with better players before they decide
whether or not to keep him or send him back
to junior. I think Brunick is gonna stay. I think
that Sid should play some with Kendall because developmental is
part of his job too, to find on exactly what

(02:46:29):
the kid has. But so far, yeah, I'm pretty impressed.
And I don't want to go past Tang or like
Sid got the mark with Lemieux with the combined total
points playoffs in the regular season. I don't want to
overlook Latang getting six hundreds SIST, which only twenty defensemen
have done in the NHL. That's that's pretty incredible. And
you know, he's kind of operated in Sid and Gino's

(02:46:50):
wake and that's probably benefited him to some degree. But
he's had an outstanding tenure here in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (02:46:56):
Was sixty six there last night. No, No, he was okay,
I din't think so. But Sid spoke about Mario being
around the team recently. Has he been hanging around the team.

Speaker 9 (02:47:05):
He was at a game. Which game was that the opener?

Speaker 17 (02:47:09):
He was at a game with a bunch of friends
from Montreal, him and Natalie, So it was great to
see him. He came to the locker room afterwards. But
last night was almost as good because Will Howard was there.

Speaker 3 (02:47:19):
Well hard yeah, I mean, but he didn't have a
jersey on. What's up with that? Is he a Blue
Jackets fan, a Flyers fan? What's his problem?

Speaker 7 (02:47:28):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (02:47:28):
If he's a Flyers fan, I think he should be
escorted from the premises. Yeah, I mean, you know, Randall,
you know it's funny. It's a mixed bag because I
know what's at stake if they.

Speaker 9 (02:47:38):
Don't get that pick.

Speaker 17 (02:47:39):
But I want them to do good. It really is,
is you know, just tough to on the night. Like
I said, you want him to win. I do think
it's important though, and I think MWS is doing a
great job and it shows Sally should have been gone
years ago.

Speaker 7 (02:47:51):
He just got too stale.

Speaker 3 (02:47:53):
Like the other coach in Tom.

Speaker 17 (02:47:55):
But but I still want to see Kinder play with
more better guys. I don't want to I don't want
to see, you know, the Brawsiers guy with the money
shot again last night.

Speaker 3 (02:48:06):
By the way, I don't want to see him.

Speaker 17 (02:48:09):
Part is the expense of finding out about kids like Kindle.

Speaker 7 (02:48:13):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:48:14):
Don't you think if they do get down to the
stretch and they need to tank some games, that they
should just like ceremonially appoint Eddie Johnson coach for the
rest of the season.

Speaker 17 (02:48:24):
I think it's a shame of Bengotti pass, but he
was the coach at eighty three eighty four.

Speaker 9 (02:48:30):
And don't get me wrong, EJ's incompetence. You know Thatj's
incompetence is how they got the draft of Meal with
his absolute competence.

Speaker 3 (02:48:38):
That's That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 17 (02:48:40):
And part of that was Lou Angotti being just the
horrible coach who was out of there the minute they
got married. But here here's here's two of my stories
from back then.

Speaker 9 (02:48:49):
Obviously EJ's and.

Speaker 17 (02:48:51):
I was like a twenty three year old kid working
for UPI and Uh. EJ's biggest move was Roberto Ramono
won three games the goalie. They sent him back down
and Vincent Tromblay came up and lost six out of
seven in Gold, and uh, the big game was they
lost seven to six in New Jersey with him in Gold.
If they don't lose that game, they don't kill Lemieux.
That would have been the proverbial four point turnaround. And

(02:49:13):
to make tromblaze indignity complete that summer, I scored on
him in a deck hockey tournament.

Speaker 5 (02:49:22):
Now there's a statue. We need the like have one
down the block from the Mario statue and.

Speaker 9 (02:49:29):
Me scoring on Tromblaye and then and then the other
one was as we know, EJ.

Speaker 17 (02:49:33):
Who's and by the way, the Penguins Hall of Famous Saturday,
it's gonna be great. E J, Scotty, Kevin Stevens and
Ronnie Francis. Yeah, and I'm glad you know EJ and Scotty.

Speaker 9 (02:49:43):
They they deserve it.

Speaker 17 (02:49:44):
And you know, while you know, I mean, they're they're
older gentlemen.

Speaker 9 (02:49:48):
But EJ has never broken Omerta about.

Speaker 3 (02:49:52):
About never will that's going to that's going on to
the to the great, going to.

Speaker 17 (02:49:56):
His roots actually, and uh and and everybody else has
we had that that documentary in Canada, you know, with
with you know, the playing to Lose right with and
and God he was alive. He talked Bob Airy. But
here was the closest dad he ever came to breaking
the code. I was a kid, remember Terry shipfouer at
all that might be before your time ran though it

(02:50:17):
was he was the PR director, But back then the
PR director you know did did radio analysis, like the
jack of all trades type thing, right, And Shifty was
a really good guy. He since passed, and he hated
to lose, hated to lose, and we would lose games
that year in the most spectacular fashions.

Speaker 7 (02:50:34):
Thank god.

Speaker 17 (02:50:36):
One day we were ahead of Saint Louis by two
with like four minutes left, and we lost in regulation.
Run the elevator that me EJ. And Shifty happens to
be in the elevator, and Shifty is like blowing the
gas because we lost, right, and EJ walks over to
him and says, Shifty, I don't think you're looking.

Speaker 9 (02:50:53):
At the big f and picture.

Speaker 17 (02:51:00):
And it's also worth noting that while drafting Mario was
the simplest thing in the world, EJ got offered so
much by like Montreal, you know, like they offered like
Carboneau was a Hall of Famer, the Quebec Nord Deeks
offered all three stats and he brothers and uh and
and Ken Shinkle, the late Ken Shinkle was a Penguins
player coaching at the time of Scott. He was Adam

(02:51:22):
and they should draft Kirk Miller instead o what he
thought he was a more complete.

Speaker 3 (02:51:28):
Player, which was probably a nice fla saying and sinks.

Speaker 17 (02:51:31):
By not French. Well know that I mean, I'm not
saying that flippantly. That's not a lot, you know what,
You know what I mean? That's that was the hockey culture.
Sadly in some quarters back then.

Speaker 5 (02:51:41):
We ran uh Mark, we were running super long and
it's all been worth it. But I do have to okay,
that's Mark mad Michelle is up next with the Electric
Lunch and Noon. Have a great Daybody's Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (02:51:54):
Don't touch your face?

Speaker 3 (02:51:55):
I got him, t me, Ronald? Would you not my pants? Ronald?
Whoa man?

Speaker 7 (02:52:06):
Why?

Speaker 3 (02:52:07):
Goggle ahead?

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought

Get it direct from the team at shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 15 (02:52:22):
During his weekly press conference yesterday, Steelers head coach Mike
Tomlin lamented the Steelers run defense, saying they have to
stop the run more effectively in that doing so is
a building block for.

Speaker 3 (02:52:30):
Them to play good defense.

Speaker 15 (02:52:31):
Well, the job doesn't get any easier this week for
the Steelers run defense, which gave up one hundred and
forty two yards on twenty three carries to the league's
worst rushing attack in Cincinnati last week when the Green
Bay Packers roll into town for Sunday Night football. The
Packers is a team average one hundred and seventeen yards
per game rushing and are let on the ground by
star running back Josh Jacobs, who has four hundred and
fourteen yards thus far on the season and is coming

(02:52:52):
off a thirteen carry fifty five yard two touchdown performance
against the Arizona Cardinals last week. Jacobs has had a
nose for the end zone lately for the Packer, as
he scored two or more rushing touchdowns and three straight
games for the Packers. In fact, since twenty twenty four,
Josh Jacobs has had the most games in the NFL
of two or more rushing touchdowns with a.

Speaker 3 (02:53:10):
Total of six. His eight rushing.

Speaker 15 (02:53:12):
Touchdowns on the season is good for the second most
in the NFL, behind only the Colts Jonathan Taylor, who
has ten. Stopping Josh Jacobs and dramatically improving and stopping
the run is going to be a key for the
Steelers bouncing back on Sunday Night and getting the win
against a formidable Green Bay Packer outfit.
