Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just always saw pictures of the I mean she
hooked up with everybody in the Saturday Night Live orbit.
She was dated Dan Ackroyd where she was drunk and Stone,
and she was Paul. Paul Simon is Lord Michael's best friend.
So then she went to Paul Simon. I believe she left.
No she would know. But dude, what would it be
called if you Simon and Garfunkles, Like you know, it's

(00:24):
like there's Eskimo Brothers. Isn't the table Trouble Yeah, that
would probably be the act. I don't know me at
the same time I met, like you jumped from one
of the other.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
But yeah, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Because Abby, we've heard of the Eiffel Tower, and if
you get Eiffel towered by Simon and Garfunkles, that's definitely
the bridge over trouble Water, no question. Trying to keep
my customer SATs.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Knew this tower brought to you by Window Nation.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
It is pleasant today with son in areas of high clouds.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's going to be a high of seventy eight.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Okay, So I'm gonna set the stage for you here
who Lo's new football comedy Chad Powers finds itself at
the center of casting drama, taking over TikTok and Instagram feeds.
Right Now shows co created by Michael Waldron and Glenn
Powell and Chad Powers tells the story of Russ Holliday

(01:24):
as superstar quarterback whose career comes to a disasters halt,
and then eight years after getting canceled, he uses prosthetics
to disguise himself as Chad Powers, walks on to tryouts,
and then he gets a second chance at pro football.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
The two episode.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Premiere on Tuesday, September the thirtieth, covered a lot of
ground and it included a surprise cameo from Haley.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Welsh, who we all know is Hawk Too. Thank you.
She went viral in twenty twenty four whenever you know, she.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Said to spit on that thing, and she does that
in the scene that she's in. So Powell's character meets
her in a club and she does the spit on
that thing uh line.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
She yeah, she.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Does, and then he's reciting it to her and it
turns her off so much that she asks him not
to tell anybody that they ever met. So it's like
really random, funny, you know, just short experience in the show.
But then comedian Brittany Ray Carrera posted a video to

(02:31):
her social accounts which claimed that Chad Powers replaced her
with Haktua and she had no idea until she watched
the show. So so she filmed her part. Yeah, she
filmed her part. So she expected to be in the show.
She's having a watch party with a bunch of.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Friends, so they're filming because they expect to see her.
Oh my god, and then it doesn't happen, and she
freaks out and here is the audio.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Literally, this is my scene.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
This is literally my scene.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Did you come in later?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
No, this is literally my scene. I was flying, you know.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
It's like.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
What she's like. I think she's saying the dialogue you're not.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh my god, but that's.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Like, stop doing okay. I just literally like, just really, okay?

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Is that fake?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
That fake? No way, that's right.

Speaker 7 (04:02):
You know the scene that you did saying hawk Tua.
Why are you surprised that they got the real hawk Tua?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well?

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Or was the line or the scene completely different?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, it might have been different. I mean, well that
would be the assertion. I just can't imagine that she
wouldn't have known that number one, they would have definitely
alerted her to that. Her agent would have known.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
True in a lot of maybe television shows. I feel.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't. I mean, I guess it's it's definitely possible,
But allowing people to film you and then posting that
is career suicide.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Posting it is unbecoming.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
But that is the name of the game these days,
because if Haley Welsh replaces you for an unfavory moment,
which otherwise would have embarrassed a lot of people, then
why isn't you know that strategy going to work for
you as well? You have a super embarrassing moment and
now all of a sudden agents know.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Who you are.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Uh yeah, I just think you would be unhirable after that.
People be like, oh, so you can't roll with any changes.
I mean, if it were true, she still would have
been paid, she still would have gotten credit for you know,
insurance and all that other stuff with her SAG status.
I just I can't imagine that that's true. But it's funny.

(05:24):
It's a very funny idea.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Though Pittsburgh Pirates owner Bob Nutting has received criticism from fans, players,
and media alike, but this time a government official is
joining in. Teresa cal Smith, the Pittsburgh City councilwoman, announced
that she is calling for a post agenda before city
Council where formal discussions would take place on Nutting and
his ownership of the Pirates. Quote, the Pittsburgh Pirates are

(05:49):
more than just a baseball team. They are a vital
part of our city's identity, history, and economy. As elected officials,
we have a responsibility to listen to our constituents and
facility a constructive conversation about what's best for the city
and its residents.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
So if he doesn't improve the team, they're going to
build a bike lane through the infield.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
She wants to open up a public dialogue on how
the Pirates are run and where they are going in
the future.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
That would be That would be the best.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
If somehow we could do to the Pirates what Green
Bay situation is with the Packers, where.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
We all own the team, that would be phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Sure, those would be great townholl meetings to have. I
mean a televisim it would be.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
It would be electric.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I do think that you should be allowed to yell
at Bob Nutting once a week. He should have to
go in front of a tribunal of enzers who are
like who win a lottery, just twenty of them.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
How many games do you think he went to this year?

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Because the Pirates home opener, he got booed hard and
they were flying banners that said sell the team, bob
over the park.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
And he's got an office there can sneak into a
box and watch without anybody paying attention to him.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
But I bet that's the last time he hit the rotunda,
Oh yeah, first and last.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I actually wondered at the time if that was him
trying to get some good will by knowing that he
was going to catch some flak and going out there
and getting people to like have sympathy for him, you
know what I mean, Like, look how poorly they treat me. Meanwhile,
everyone was like throw balloons at them. Yeah right, yeah,

(07:31):
all right.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
You probably heard the phrase something smells rotten in Denmark,
but something also smells rotten wherever he.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Isn't that Hamlet Hamlet?

Speaker 6 (07:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (07:43):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Fans seemed to think that Heim has a serial farder,
the band.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes following them around the country.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Is it Haim or is it it's him like im
Heim time.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
It all started when somebody posted a TikTok from Saturday's
gig in Dallas with two women holding their noses and
the caption said quote, whoever was mm hmm their pants
at the con.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Or Heim concert please see yourself out.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
By the way.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
That show was taking place at a venue called the
Bomb Factory, but several people in the comments confirmed that
they were in the same area and they also smelled
this as well. But then other people chimed in with
reports of rancid air during their shows in New York, Seattle, Austin, Milwaukee.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Farts are coming from inside the house.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Real did lead the original poster to ask, I'm starting
to wonder is there a farter at every.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Heim show or is it Heim themselves?

Speaker 6 (08:46):
It's time.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
I think it's time. I think's haig of time. We
talked to Heyen about there behind.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Nirvana has once again prevailed in court against Spencer Elden,
who was that naked that appeared on the band's cover
of never Mind in nineteen ninety one. Billboard reports that
a federal judge dismissed Elden's latest lawsuit, stating that.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
The cover is not child pornography and.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
How many times does he suit over this?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
He keeps trying, He just keeps losing.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
The iconic image did not come close to meeting the
definition under federal law, so Elden first sued the band
back in twenty twenty one, claiming that they knowingly, produced, possessed,
and advertised commercial child pornography, and then that suit was
dismissed multiple times during a year of various court dates.
But then in twenty twenty three, the US Court of

(09:40):
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit revive or reversed rather a
lower court's decision to toss the lawsuit, saying that the
statute of limitations had not passed because the Nevermind cover
was republished in twenty twenty one for the album's thirtieth anniversary.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Not gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I'm just kind of over that dude trying to cash
in on this.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Everybody's over there, this dude.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
All right.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
It is probably best to consult your doctor before taking
medical advice from celebrity, especially when their wellness hacks are
outright disgusting or potentially dangerous. So here's a list of
wild wellness hacks shared by celebrities. First, well Tom Brady

(10:24):
says that drinking large amounts of water helps prevent sunburns.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I remember saying that, I think there is actually some
sort of small validity to that. I mean, it would
make sense to me that your skin would be more
resilient if it was hydridrated, but if you were dried skin,
that it would be more vulnerable. But I don't know that.
It's like, don't worry about SPF, you don't need that.
Just drink a glass of water too. Oh so you

(10:52):
need well? Did you see two talking about his concussions.
The doctors told him eat tons of carbs and drink
water that it held helps your brain recover. And a
lot of people were calling that junk. But it actually
that kind of makes sense to me too. Waters I
think fairly important. I think we can agree on for sure.
And when Nesley owns it all, I would just want
to make sure that I get a good subscription plan.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Courtney Kardashian said that her doctor told her that drinking
seamen four times a.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Week would hold on.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Okay, you can't say that, I don't think so I
dumped it.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
She was told that.

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Consumption consumption of.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
DNA material DNA material.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
There you go. That is good for what now?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Fertility?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Oh okay, that's a.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
Weird way to get pregnant.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
I was just gonna say, wronghole.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
I'm having a baby in my belly.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Beyonce dropped twenty pounds in two weeks for Dream Girls
by giving up all solid food and drinking a concoction
of lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Cool.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
There's no way, I mean, look at Beyonce. There's just
no way. She's eating a lot of other stuff she's
not telling us about.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Could you imagine if Beyonce didn't have a personal chef though.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
Oh, she'd be huge.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Huge.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Megan Fox claim that drinking apple cider vinegar before meals
keeps you slim by cleansing out your system entirely.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
I know lots of people who do, like a daily
shot of that apples cider vinegar.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
Yeah, with the mother.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, the mother is a really nasty name for that.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
That is very bad for your teeth though.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, just shoot it like that like it's it can
rot your teeth.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
That's why you boof it.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
That's why you boof it. Everybody knows that.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
Over in Ireland, they advertise instead of like pulp, they
just said orange juice with with the bits.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Kesha drank her own bee because she thought it was
good for you.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Okay, there's a lot of people who did. There was
like an influencer there was doing There was like a
a dude like liver King guy. As a matter of fact,
liver King might have been doing it. Who was swearing
by that? And there's like no reals le cab at it.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
There's one dude who.

Speaker 7 (13:41):
Mikey and Bob always posts this gift of him like
speed bagging his own bag in front.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
Of a fire.

Speaker 7 (13:50):
That guy is like a health influencer that used to
be like a male model. So everybody's you know, following
whatever he's says.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
And that dude was.

Speaker 7 (14:01):
On on that vibe of of the urine.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
He uses his own bag as a punching bag.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
Yeah he's I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
It's kind of weird.

Speaker 7 (14:11):
You've never seen that where he's just like speedbagg in
his own bad It's like this primal thing that he's
doing to wake up the spirits. I'm like, you're just
I mean, is the rock theme playing underneath him.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Kim Kardashian received a vampire facial which is when your
own blood is drawn and then your blood's platelet rich
plasma is injected or topically spread.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Onto your face.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
A lot of people do that one.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, I was gonna.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Say, I think that this is pretty common now, but
she said it was painful and she wouldn't do it again,
which I don't.

Speaker 7 (14:50):
Vampire facial as if you're hooking up the chocola and
it just goes a little further than.

Speaker 6 (14:56):
You want.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Vitally. On the list, Gwyneth Paltrow of course said that goops.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Everything everything on Goop, but they sold jade and rose
quarts eggs for women's to put up their little bits
to increase feminine energy and increase vaginal muscle tone.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
And they were sued.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Yeah you do the farmers carry all day. Yeah, that's
no way.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
I have to imagine that ninety of what Goop has
to say is just wrong.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
It's definitely chunk science. Like it just is like and it.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
Sounds like it could be right.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
Like remember when somebody was pranking people with whole foods
and put like celery inside of water with asparagus and
they were selling it just to see and people were
buying it.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, Well, obviously not everything that you see on the
internet's true. And one study proving that researchers presented findings
at an American Academy of Pediatrics meeting recently. This says
that it says more than twenty percent of sexual health
related TikTok posts created by non medical people were inaccurate.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
And Goop is basically that.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
But don't you feel like in this era of all
of us scrolling all day every day with the TikTok
and the Instagram reels, that you're seeing things a video
that's thirty seconds that's changing how you think about everything,
and you're not even acknowledging it. You're not talking to
other people about it. But I'm doing it where I'm

(16:39):
like incorporating it into my routines. Like some somebody on
there said, you know, you should be getting ten thousand
steps a day. You know, you got it, that's your baseline.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess I gotta get
ten thousand steps a day. I don't know any science
behind that, you know, and I guess it's not harmful.
So now you know walking is good for it. There's
there's a lot of other stuff that I'm doing that.

(17:00):
I'm seeing people say that it's not from a doctor.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Remember when we were talking about like the colostrum scoops,
Like we're supposed to have like a scoop of colossum
every day, and it's just like you.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Mean milk milk, Yeah, but breast milk.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
People rub beef tallow on their face.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Yeah. For like college that does amazing things to your skin.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
And your French fries makes you delicious.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Yeah, hey, whatever float.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Your boat makes you happy. I mean, I'm trying to
think of, like I would say the one thing that
is like the least scientifically proven that I do would
be like cryot therapy in terms of there is science
in on it that shows benefits, but the amount of

(17:50):
benefits it claims are unverified, right, Like, there are certain
benefits that are verifiable, but it says, oh, it also
does this, this and this, and like I don't know
if it does, but I like the thing it does do.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Yeah yeah, I mean.

Speaker 7 (18:04):
Yeah, but I kind of swear by that stuff Like sauna.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
I mean I think that that's Sauna's proof back a
long time.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, there's there's lots of proof on the efficacy of
doing saunas, And.

Speaker 7 (18:19):
I know that there's a lot of there's a lot
of science about cold plunges.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
I just don't know those cryos like it.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Does that do the same thing?

Speaker 6 (18:29):
Yeah? Does that do anything? There's there's a whole group
of people body temperature.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
There's a whole group of people who think that the
cold plunges are bad for you, not just not good
for you, that they are actively bad for you. So
there is all kinds of disparate information out there about
that stuff. I think that the proof has been in
the pudding when I've done it. It has definitely helped
me with that.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
Yeah, I mean athletes have been doing it for how long.
Like you get in the cold tub, it reduces inflammation.
I mean that's not really arguable at this point.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Exactly pleasant with sunshine today, it's a high of seventy eight,
all right.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, the supplement world is where you could really get
into a long ass discussion about which one's work, which
one's don't, and how far down the rabbit hole are
you on all of those. It's like fish oils. That
was a big one where everyone's like, oh, hey, you
got to have fish oil every day, And then they're like,
actually these are bad from Eric.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
You got to have some tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, but if you don't have it with Pepper, who's Pepper?
I never remember?

Speaker 3 (19:29):
She's great.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Tim Ben's filling it for Mike Pursuda. He's got your sports.
When we return DVE. It's like a second job for
the DVE Workforce I've been trying to win since the
contest has been done.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Workforce Cash is on DVE thirteen times a day, nine
am through nine pm. DVE will give you the keyword
at the top of every hour header. It's at dve
dot com and you could win a thousand bucks. Listen
all day for your chance at Workforce cash on.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
This report is sponsored by McVeigh Plumbing, Heating and Cooling.

Speaker 9 (20:04):
Gotta be another nice day, Sonny. A few more clouds
this afternoon though him seventy five partley cloudy tonight, dropping
to fifty one partley cloudy to start today Tomorrow that
mostly sunny tomorrow afternoon.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Look for Hive seventy eight. Make sure your heating system
is ready. Worths this morning on DV.

Speaker 8 (20:20):
Firstville Appliance given it to you. You know, earlier in the show.
If folks weren't awake yet I was giving you some
numbers about how impressive the TV viewership was for the
Steelers game in Ireland nine thirty am kickoff, but still,
the NFL Network averaged seven point nine million viewers across
TV and digital platforms, not including the over the air

(20:42):
viewers in Minneapolis and Pittsburgh. That's the most that they've
ever had in the NFL network for an international game,
aside from that Germany game between the Kansas City Chiefs
and Miami Dolphins back in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
This game in Dublin.

Speaker 8 (20:55):
Also saw a sixty eight percent boost from the NFL
network twenty twenty four international games. The contest averaged over
nine million viewers from twelve thirty PM until the end
of the game, So as people are waking up, they
were actively tuning in and they were staying with it
because in large part, these Steelers allowed the Vikings to

(21:15):
stay with it with some curious decision making and a
big comeback from the Vikes in an eighty one yard
catch and run by Jordan Addison and tackle from Peyton Wilson.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
As we talked about earlier.

Speaker 8 (21:26):
With those comments from Ben Roethlisberger, now Terah Austin the
defensive coordinator for the Steelers, was speaking on the South
Side yesterday and he took the blame for that busted
coverage and the Jordan Addison play, the.

Speaker 10 (21:38):
One in the game. I'm going to take that one.
We you know, we were struggling with who was in
a game and I probably made a call that probably
wasn't super enough for everybody. And so that that's on me.

Speaker 11 (21:46):
And talk about the eighty one yard yeah, absolutely, And
so that that's on me, and album make sure if
that ever happens again, if we have some nutrition the
way we did it, the way.

Speaker 10 (21:56):
It happened, and I got to I got to give
our guys something that's way more so board and that
they can line up and play and it may not
be the best defense, but it'll be something where we
won't have a chance to bill it. So, I mean,
our guys played great, and again that that last one
is on me, and I'll make sure that doesn't happened.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
To standard is a standard? Next man up? What happened
to that?

Speaker 8 (22:16):
I guess that goes out the window. And next man up,
thankfully in the layer of coverage was Peyton Wilson, So
he tracked down Addison and they had to burn another
minute trying to score. Roethlisberger was right about everything. He said,
there next man up, unless it's Chuck Clark. I'll give
you another guy that I thought had some hidden plays
that you know, for the Steelers, it really benefited them.

(22:37):
We haven't talked about him a lot this week, but
Deshaun Elliott, not just the PBu to end the game,
not just the pick which was largely set up by
Monster game, the tackle tackle on the fourth down conversion.
Very rarely do you talk about a fourth and one
that goes for nine yards and say, what a play.
But Elliott, if he doesn't trip up Mason, there he's gone.
And then a couple of plays later it turns into

(22:57):
his own pick on the Harmon deflection. So well, he
deserves some flowers for the way he played as waldcarback.
Let's get back to the baseball conversation because that's been
a fun one today with Major League Baseball playoffs going on.
Dodgers eliminate the Reds eight to four. They win that series.
That's the only one that's done. Cleveland and Detroit Guardians
win six to one. That's a one to one series.

(23:17):
That's the first game of the day to figure that
one out at three o'clock. Now we get to the
Padres and the Cubs three to nothing. The Padres shut
out the Cubs. Yesterday. We talked about Mason Miller quite
a bit, the Bethel Park product too. Three one hundred
and four point five mile an hour fastball on the
black yesterday for the fastest recorded pitch in the postseason.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Will today.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
You're not gonna see anything that fast from Jamison tay On,
but you're gonna see a guy the former Pirate who
came back from injury in the middle of the season.
His last six starts a one to five to seven
ERA and a four to one record for the Cubbies.
He goes to the mound today to try to keep
the cub season going against San Diego, and he spoke
with Marquise Sports in Advanced at the start and.

Speaker 12 (23:57):
As the game got going there and just started getting
excited for tomorrow, kind of put my head down and
starting to think about what tomorrow is going to look like.
You feel like, yeah, I mean, you do a want
to work throughout the years and throughout the season just
to you know, be ready for big moments and I'm
looking forward to it.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
It's gonna be interesting watching him pitch tom Manny Machado
since he was taken one slot before Manny Machado for
the Pirates and he ate home or yesterday.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Easy to root for James in Town. Good dude was
a regular on the show. Was one of my favorite
Pirates people that I ever interviewed in. Really cool guy
and had some hardships early in his career that he overcame,
That had injuries, cancer. Admirable to see him overcome all
of those and be pitching a deciding game in the
wildcard here.

Speaker 8 (24:40):
Didn't he come back? Was his first start back from
testicular cancer? Was it from Tommy John when he got
the line drive off the head?

Speaker 11 (24:46):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Oh remember that?

Speaker 6 (24:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Like he just couldn't catch up break Like you have
Tommy John in your testicles? God, I can't get a break, Tommy,
What are you doing in there? It's testical?

Speaker 8 (25:00):
Jhonans a whole different kind of TJ. You don't want
to talk about that. And then of course there's the
Red Sox game. Now, now they get the Red Sox
Yankees game at eight o'clock to challenge us to stay
away through it. Now that you know this is going
to be extra innings, everybody goes full count, foul off
ten pitches. It's gonna be one of those classic Yankees
Red Sox games to keep us until eleven thirty twelve
o'clock tonight.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I waits six o'clock.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
No, no, no, this they made the because there's one
less game.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
They went three to five eight, So it's oh, I
hate that. I hate that. I hate that.

Speaker 8 (25:31):
I hate that the Yankees Red Sox are. Now those
early starts on those games, well, the six o'clock has
been great. And then it's not like you're losing. They're
smart about it's not like you're losing audience because you've
got show as the leadoff batter at at nine o'clock
at night when they're playing the Reds for the first.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Pitch of that series. Yeah, out West, And did.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
You say who the Thursday night football game is?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
I forgot itsah, and uh let me look it up here, okay.
And they got everybody hurt, forty nine ers and Rams. Yeah,
they got Mac Jones at quarterback and everybody but Cemac
is hurt.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
And right now, that line is that minus eight and
a half Rams eight and a half point favorites at
home against San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
They got nobody Penguins one. The amount of attrition right now,
this is everybody Steelers is like we were assessing the
Steelers going into the season based on this assumption that like,
no other team suffers an injury and every other team
has their bleep together and we just don't. And you
forget that everybody else kind of takes a while to

(26:30):
figure it out too. And then the injuries that have
happened in the AFC North alone big time, Like the
Steelers are not immune to it. Obviously, they've got some
pretty big ones they're contending with right now, but not
like Lamar Burrow.

Speaker 8 (26:46):
Every other team has lost a quarterback, yeah, or it
has made a change at quarterback. Yeah, So you know
you got to take advantage. And you're playing two of
those teams coming out of the by as well. Keep
that in mind. So Brown's next week buffer for when
this happens to you, because invariably it will happen to you.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Now they've suffered themselves.

Speaker 8 (27:03):
They've sort of had clusters of injuries like in the
secondary and aside from like what Terrell Austin was talking about,
there they managed to get around it, largely to the
degree that they're three and one, but the whole conference,
aside from Buffalo, you look up and you go, eh,
not as great as we thought.

Speaker 7 (27:20):
Do you think Dylan Gabriel will still be the starter
next week?

Speaker 8 (27:24):
When then, if it doesn't get hurt, probably, I mean
it could go very badly, of course. I mean they're
not exactly throwing him in the best position. Hey, go
start in a different country for your first.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
Against the Vikings that are gonna absolutely come after him.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
They're banged up a little, but they should really give him.
I mean, Brian Flores getting out coach last week was
a shock to me, but hey, they were the Vikings
coaching staff was outclassed right until the five minutes where
the Steelers tried to give him the game back. I'm
not sure.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Why do you think wants anything for Roethlisberger after his Hey,
is this controversial if I say that they're going to
get out coached by the Vikings.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
I wonder if Mike got word of that. Oh, dude,
they know Mike knows Ben is not a real big fan.
He Tomlin likes to pretend that he, you know, ostriches
all social media doesn't pay attention to it. But he know,
same with Aaron Rodgers. Those guys know what's going on.
Oh Rogers can't hide it though, Roger Rogers, but he
claims he doesn't know, and he's like directly, but he.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
Did say, remember, I guess that's what somebody watches that
stuff and tells him his sister and somebody else.

Speaker 8 (28:33):
He was talking on macphe before he got he's signed here.
He was saying that I have friends in Pittsburgh who
were telling me who was saying what that sort of things.
And it wasn't just Pat like he was saying to Pat.
You know, you know, I think he was suggesting that
Pat knew who they were. He's got friends here.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Well, he knew. I was not a huge fan of
his getting signed here. I mean, we had a perfectly
nice conversation. I just disagreed with it. For the Steelers,
it's working out amazing for them on the field. Main
concern with him always was can he stay healthy? And
it was will he get through October healthy? It wasn't
he can't do it anymore. It was previous behavior. By

(29:10):
the way, his not going on the macav Show every
Tuesday really helps the perception of him amongst kind of
can't help himself sometimes and these things slip out and
then it becomes a conversation. These are all the things
that people were anticipating who's gonna do that he hasn't done,
which have really helped him. He's been amazing on the field,
even if he's getting rid of the ball in one
point three seconds or something crazy like that.

Speaker 8 (29:32):
I don't know if you got three point three yards
intended on average.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
And then a yack of eighty right, you know?

Speaker 6 (29:38):
But I talked to Ben about this over in Dublin.

Speaker 7 (29:42):
I saw him behind backstage after one of the Steeler
tail gates and I said, hey, man, great job with
the podcast. It seems like you're going viral every week.
And he's like, I'm not trying to do that, and
I go, well, dude, you're the Ben.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
Like anything you say is going to go viral.

Speaker 7 (29:58):
And he's sort of finding that out real time, Like
as he says something like you can't say.

Speaker 6 (30:05):
Controversial.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
Athletes struggle with that. You start doing these podcasts. Just
want to stay out there. But when you stay out there,
it goes out there to everybody.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Not just people who you think in advance, want to
like you.

Speaker 7 (30:18):
Yes, you are a Super Bowl winning quarterback for the
craziest fan base in the universe. Anything you say is
going to get picked up and carried to the furthest reach.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Do you believe Ben doesn't know that when he says
something that's what we'd be controversial?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Come?

Speaker 6 (30:38):
I think that.

Speaker 7 (30:40):
I think he's constantly surprised, just like everybody is. Like
even Mike, Mike is over in Dublin. He didn't like.
I don't think anybody fully understands the full reach like this.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
This nation goes to the moon. It is very true,
well beyond just like out in moon.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
It's a terrible talent out in space.

Speaker 8 (31:01):
There's no doubt there Wash there was space Shuttle.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
All right, Well on the way for you Abby. I
think it was one in the preseason re Joice, What
do you turn up?

Speaker 4 (31:13):
What do you do when a self driving car breaks
the law? And we're also going to go through a
list of don't knock it till you try it, life hacks.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Missy Matthews next big Cat coming up at nine to fifteen.
He won the fifty to fifty at the Cubs game yesterday.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
You're kidding?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Fifty four grand. We'll talk to him in a half hour.
Could you play something for me? The answer is always yes.
When you build them menu, you know what, that would
make my day so much better. We all request the
Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on DV.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
It's football season. So how about not wasting another.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
For the Pittsburgh Steelers one on two point five WDV
E Pittsburgh joining us right now, brought to you by
Boris and Bortis fighting for justice. It's the one and
only Missy Matthews. It's international super superstar, Missy Matthews. Now, Missy.
That was one of our favorite things about being over

(32:07):
there was the amount of international love that you pursued.
Matt Williamson, anybody on the Steelers dot com US, Yeah, Like,
how enjoyable it was to see you guys just being
lauded by international praise.

Speaker 13 (32:25):
Well, that's very nice of you. I feel like you
guys were the same way too. I like, I am
now a big fan of your driver now that he
was on the air with you guys, and how he
realized he realized you guys were superstars.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Well, he just didn't know what we did. He just
knew he was picking people up he didn't know we
talked or did it for all he knew we were engineers,
and we hung out with him for two days before
we did any broadcasting, and then all of a sudden,
he like showed up at the broadcast and we're the
ones talking. He's like, I didn't know you guys did this.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Right?

Speaker 13 (32:54):
I still love that though he was awesome, There's a.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Reason we put him on the air, Like, yeah, we
genuinely love him. He was just great. And it was
also emblematic of the many interactions we had with Double Nursing.

Speaker 6 (33:09):
The hospitality was incredible.

Speaker 13 (33:12):
Like the nicest people. They're not in a rush, they're
not mean, Like I just that's the sext time I
see somebody. Yeah, like every time somebody this week's like, man,
how is Ireland? It's like almost hard to put into
words because it is so different than the speed here
in the States. Like are the one barista in our
hotel coffee shop, Like she was just so nice all

(33:35):
the time and would like, you know, tell us fantastic
things that we needed to know or you know, what
not to do. And then the one morning, of course,
on game day, I go down, I'm like I need
a lot day I need to go, like, let's go.
I'm ready, and she's like, oh, you know what, we
just put them in. It's going to be you know,
another half past thirty or whatever however they tell the time,
and I'm like, oh okay. She goes, yeah, we usually

(33:57):
sleep in on Sundays, and I'm like, oh, well, I'm
gonna be back, like I need that stone. And then
I'm like, oh, no, wonder why it tastes so good,
Like they're literally baking them right.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Now, bitch, that's gone. Yeah, you know, missy. Though, the
whole town got started late, like every day because the
people in our group, who are the early risers that
got for a jog, they would come back and they
be like, the whole town is closed.

Speaker 13 (34:24):
Yep. Yeah, I just think they are. That's just how
they live their life. And it was actually very refreshing.
I didn't feel pressure. I didn't feel like someone was
gonna yell at me if I couldn't you know, decipher
how many dollars it was for pounds or whatever when
I was trying to pay, or oh yeah, what car
to use or not like no one like you said,
not judgy and very nice and.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Care free, almost I got asked more questions by Dubliners
than anywhere I've traveled in the world. They really were
genuinely curious. I can't I can't say enough good things
and I can't wait to go back.

Speaker 6 (34:59):
Does everyone have these tea towels?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
They're terrible towels. Don't disrespect us terrible tea towels. Well,
they were flying at like, you know, full strength at
Croke Park on Sunday. And part of what I think
has made the reflection on that trip so you know,
wonderfully glowing, is the Steelers seem to have righted the

(35:23):
rudder on a couple of things. The first two drives
kind of got me a little nervous. I was like,
oh God, here we go again, both offensively and defensively.
And then it really turned around. And I'm wondering what
you think was the biggest step forward from the first
three weeks for the Steelers or four weeks going into
that one.

Speaker 13 (35:44):
I mean, I honestly think very low level it was
week four, you know, like it really is September football,
Like nobody is a perfect I mean, look at like
the Chiefs. There's so many teams where you're.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Like, how is that their record, right.

Speaker 13 (35:58):
It just is what it is, and I really feel
like that was part of it. But there was definitely
something to how special that stadium felt, how special the
crowd was, and you know, every single player pretty much
said that. The speech that coach Tomlin gave Saturday night,

(36:19):
the final team meeting before the game, you know, just
talking about his relationship with Ambassador Rooney and what he meant,
that hit home with people, and you know, it is
kind of crazy when you think about the fact that
Cam knew him and not many other people that's currently
on the team. You know, I think if you were

(36:41):
around him even once, you understood what a special person
he was and what he meant. And I think coach
Tollin is really good at conveying a message. I can
imagine an emotional coach Tomlin was that condayed to his team,
and I think that played a part in it. And
just the energy that was in that stadium. I don't

(37:01):
know how you could not get hyped and want to
perform at like top peak performance in that environment because
it was just truly insane. And like you guys said,
I hope we go back because I can't say enough
good things about it. Croke Park was super cool. And
even if the Steelers aren't the quote unquote home team,

(37:26):
right like Steelers are, Yeah, they're going to take over
that place, you know what I mean, it does not matter.
Yeah right, Yeah, Like we were like, yep, second home,
or we could say third, you could say La Trobe second,
Croke Park's third.

Speaker 7 (37:38):
It did feel like the spirit of DMR was present
in Croke Park on Sunday, just on the field.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Missy.

Speaker 7 (37:46):
One of the things that I thought was really impressive
was that, you know, there was a bunch of attrition
during the game, the Vikings offensive line the Steelers secondary,
and I thought the Steelers dealt with that adversity and
attrition way better. They're starting to get after the quarterback
now maybe because of the attrition on the on the
line of the Vikings so and the splash it continues

(38:10):
to be there. They just got to clean up in
between getting to the quarterback and providing the splash.

Speaker 13 (38:17):
Yeah, I mean, I just think about that's Patrick Queen
just completely demolishing Carson Wentz. You know, there are just
so many plays like that, even Jalen Ramsey's pick six
that wasn't I mean, could you imagine if that actually counted,
how that like, what that would have done just truly insane.

(38:38):
And I do think you know, they have dealt with
a number of injuries and you can't discount that. You
can't use it as an excuse either, but I mean, man,
they were, they were. They're pretty down in terms of guys.
You already had people Joey Porterison, Alex Kismith. So I
hate a week five bye week. But now that we're
in it and we realize how much we needed, I'm

(38:59):
glad that it it's now, and it's going to be
a tough stretch coming out of it, but at least
you can get some guys healthy, hopefully so that they
can get back to doing what they want to do.
And you know, even if it's one defensive guy who's
hurt and not multiple because it feels like that's been
the story of the first four weeks unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I think that the biggest change for the better came
offensively Kenny g coming in there for Jalen Warren at
the last minute and performing the way he did and
showing that they've got some depth there that they can
feel pretty good about. Is a pretty big revelation. In
and of itself, but the fact that Arthur Smith was
doing different things with the offense and DK was right
out of the slot half of the game, and yeah,

(39:40):
using Darnell Washington as much as they did, indicating that,
you know, they were going to help that running game
with him. And also they're not afraid to throw the
ball to him. You know, a lot of people are wondering,
where does that Lee Fryarmuth. I think that's not even
a problem you have to worry about right now. Having
that depth is just good. It's the same thing with
I Smith and her big Just let's just be glad
we've got depth. You know you're gonna need it in

(40:02):
the long run. But offensively, even though there was a
clear game plan and Aaron Rodgers I can't remember what
the total or the average was for him to let
go the ball and you won't be able to do
that forever. You're gonna have to take some shots down
for X. But the fact that they were willing to

(40:23):
do something that was a little bit different from what
they had been doing in order to get to win,
I think was big. It just indicated to me that
one of our biggest complaints was we keep seeing the
same thing over and over again, and Dublin let us
know like, oh no, no, no, we can change it
up and we can we can do some coaching here
and get these guys to do something that's going to succeed.

Speaker 13 (40:45):
Yeah. I mean, I think we're finally seeing like what
Arthur Smith's offensive mind looks like and how he does
game plan differently for the opponent and going against their weaknesses,
staying away from the opposing defensive strengths. I mean, even
look at Week one with those four passing touchdownps. I
mean that was crazy, but they realized that something work
and they kept doing it until they stopped them. And

(41:07):
I think too he even said yesterday or the day
before when he spoke to the media post Dublin that
you know, they didn't know for sure that Jalen Warren
was going to be in or out, but that was
their game plan and it was like, hey, Kenny G
is the next man up, and that's what works. They
worked Jalen out pregame. You know, he wanted to go
and they said, eh, no, thanks, we're going to you know,

(41:29):
hold off. But I think, you know, good for Kenny
G for taking that opportunity literally running away with it.
He just needed one more yard to hit a hundred
on the ground. But even what we've seen from him
in the passing game, you know, very quick and twitchy,
and you can tell that Aaron trust him, and he's
one of those very underrated free agency aquin acquisitions that

(41:53):
kind of got overlooked because oh, I don't know, there's
a lot of really big people and trades and crazy
things that have happened. But it was really cool to
see him just I mean, he was you could tell,
just absolutely determined. We got to talk to him after
the game and he was just he was so happy
and so just been shocked that, like that's what just happened.

(42:13):
So it was good to see for somebody who obviously
is a hard worker and like a really good teammate.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Will pitt beat Boston College Saturday at home?

Speaker 13 (42:21):
Oh god, guys, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Come on, what's wrong with your team?

Speaker 7 (42:26):
A lot?

Speaker 13 (42:26):
And I was trying to watch part of it when
we were over there because my Fubo was somehow giving
me Pittsburgh stations. I was like, this, this is wrong,
but I'm going to take it. And I was kind
of like, I actually wish I'm not. I couldn't watch it,
so then it just got to the point where I
was like, I should save my battery, and I just
turned it off.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Save your soul, Yeah, it.

Speaker 13 (42:49):
Hurts my soul, it really does. He does homecomings, Yeah,
homecomings coming up. There's still Notre Dame, and I'm just like, man,
I want to be excited.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Well, we're.

Speaker 13 (43:02):
Getting better.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Yeah, this is a team you should be. This is
a team you should be your home.

Speaker 6 (43:07):
I think they should move the game to Dublin.

Speaker 13 (43:11):
Let's go get me back on that plane.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
I know I'm in for. Honestly, one game of year
Steelers of the home team at Croke Park? Why not?

Speaker 13 (43:19):
Who says it?

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Who says no? I mean, well, it.

Speaker 13 (43:24):
Would have to be every other year. It would have
to be when they have nine home games, because they
have to play eight at home.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Like, yeah, Art Rooney is probably like, WHOA, I wouldn't
mind having a little more concession money. I wonder strike
a deal with them. That's an interesting thing to think about.
Is there like a you know, concessions, like hey, the
home team or each team gets a certain amount of

(43:51):
a percentage, or does Croke Park just get to be
like yeah, thanks for bringing all the drunks over.

Speaker 13 (43:57):
That's a great I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
We'll get into it in our business segment next hour.

Speaker 13 (44:03):
Perfect. Yeah, see if you can get Art to call
in and give you those details.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Missy, you are the best. Thanks so much.

Speaker 13 (44:09):
Thanks, guys, is good hanging out with you in Dublin.

Speaker 1 (44:11):

enjoy it. Big cat coming up here nine point fifteen.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
