In this week's Missed Tackles Ben Johnson catches heat for his testy sideline interview, Breece Hall makes a good point why the Jets are so bad, and the international calls of the DK Metcalf touchdown in the international game were electric.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It means horny, And so every rand Baby, every time
I had to go with Randall and I thought you
were just gonna introduce yourself as horn dog and.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The horny dew.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
That might have gotten over better than Randy because the
one time I messed up and we were I mean weird,
it was late and these two dudes were they were
crushed and their names were like Seamous and Connors. I'm like,
you know, really Irish and they're like, what's your name?
And I was like Randy and they.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
Go, that's just so American.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
And I was like, your name Seamus, Like you've got
no dog in this fight right now.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Dude, like trying to shame us.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (00:48):
Do you feel like I need to go back?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
And I've had withdrawal from Ireland where I'm waking up
and I'm like, oh, what will I do today the
last couple of days, you know what I mean? Like
I kind of feel like I have a foot in
the water still. I think there's a lot of un
uh checked boxes over there, you know, things we didn't see.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, we didn't see anything.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I mean that's everybody who has been there asked me
this week. Did you guys do this? And I'm like, no,
did you do this? No?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
We did.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
We had a lot of pep rallies at bars and
they're like, well, did you get to see the famous
church blah blah blah.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
No, No I didn't.

Speaker 7 (01:32):
Here's here's my opinion on all that. That's not what
that trip was, right, So we could have tried to
shoehorn that in and maybe we would have had that experience,
but that really wasn't what the experience was. And I
loved what the experience was, which was this hilariously unrepeatable
Steelers experience, Like we got to experience all of what

(01:56):
we experience here in another country.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Yeah, thousands and thousands.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
And thousands of others Steelers fans, some of them who
grew up five minutes from my house and some of
them who grew up in Austria.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yep, And I agree with you. I did love that.
And uh, to your point, like, if you would have
tried to do a little of both, you only would
have taken away from the thing we were doing, and
you wouldn't have fully enjoyed the little bit of time
you could have applied to going to see all of
those other historic things, you know, because we talked about like, oh, well,

(02:32):
we do have time to do a day trip. I
guess at this one part and it was like that
it would have never worked.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
No, this one was about football.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Now, if it was like the Viking situation, they're staying
over there, they're playing in England this weekend, Yeah, you
could have scheduled in the you know, sight seeing and
historical sort of vacationing around the football games, because you
would have had a lot of time in between.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
But that was what we were doing. We were in
we were we were going to hit it and quit it.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Lash of State.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
It would have been fun to stay.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I do regret not having the foresight to figure that
all that out.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Just to see how far the Yensers would go.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
Like how you know, like when when Max was doing
his tour of the Terrible Towel and going to what
I think he hit eight counties of the thirty two
and he's on the cliffs of More and a dude
with a Steeler jersey is just there. He didn't he
didn't know that the tour was coming there, but that.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
That's time the cliff. How could we get yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:38):
Into a village and still see like a Pallamalu jersey.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Well, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
The other interesting thing about that along those lines is
like Brooke Pror did stay and she is like going
all over the island and she went into like a
little shop in some I don't know town far away
from Dublin, and they had like swag the Dublin game.
And they were bad shirts and they knock offs, totally knockoffs,

(04:05):
and they weren't NFL sanctioned for that reason, so the
terminology wasn't really what we are accustomed to. They are
just trying to sell some shirts. And the one shirt
she posted said like Dublin twenty twenty five Croke Park
ps versus.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Mv Oh no, that's not how we.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Know it, right, No, And it just looked like it
was like kind of pulled apart and like it was
not a good It looked like you sure Jacob would
have worn and traded with a bartender.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Yeah, No, I mean I would have loved to have
gone over there just to get a Strip District bootleg
T shirt.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
I think Brooke is chronicling a little bit of it
on her Twitter account if you want to check it out.
But we had a blast. Talked a lot about that yesterday.
Of course, still coming down from the time differential. I thought,
I fell asleep last night nine thirty. I'm like, I'm
getting right back into it. Got up at three o'clock
and I'm like, oh, am I up now, Oh, I'm

(05:11):
up now.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
I was.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
I was in bed at eight o'clock last night, slept
right through to the alarm.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
No good for you.

Speaker 8 (05:19):
Yeah, I did a magnesium and I did my camra
meal and I think it was about nine thirty, and
also woke up at three.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I did my magneze and camra meal. I boofed because
I wanted to make sure.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, you want to make sure it really worked.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
It really worked hard to boof yourself. Yes, it is.
It's hot. That's a hot boof.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
That is a hot boom, cam millon.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Because you have to breathe so hard.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's old hot boof sounds like a lunch we had
in Dublin and we've got a toasty and a hot booth.

Speaker 7 (05:51):
Well, no, somebody hit you up and said, hey, meet
me at boof.

Speaker 6 (05:55):
That's right, that was the name of the place.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Why did we go?

Speaker 6 (05:59):
Peach blood was over there, b e o uf.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
You have to go in the back door over there
is no front.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
I'm like, guys, we gotta leave this bar. We're going
to Boof.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Not yet ready, We're gonna need a few more shots
hot Boof.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Abby's got your news. Now what's going on?

Speaker 8 (06:16):
There's this hour rot to you by your neighborhood, Forward
store pleasant with sun today and I have seventy eight.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
All right, so we are in a new month.

Speaker 8 (06:24):
Here are a few things to look forward to here
at home. Let's start with in sports, the MLB wild
Card games continue this week. Game one of the World
Series is going to be this month, so that is
set for the twenty.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Fourth well, I mean the playoffs right now. Amazing that
Yankees Red Sox game. The second game delivered just as
good as the first one. Just fyi, I just like,
so this is the best sports month. You get hockey, baseball,
football all in October.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Then that's right.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
NHL season gets started next Tuesdays.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Next week, oh my god.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
And the new NBA season tips off on October twenty five.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
So yeah, we get everything.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Yeah, you get all the all the major sports going
coming up.

Speaker 8 (07:04):
In movies this month, the Rocks new MMA flick The
Smashing Machine.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
All right, First of all, I love this title.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
I was, Yeah, I finally saw the commercials for this yesterday.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, they were running them during the game. Pretty good.
This looks incredible.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
It looks amazing.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
I don't know if it's going to be.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
It also looks like it might be cookie cutter of
every other Boxer movie I've ever seen, which I don't
care because boxing movies are typically the best sports movies.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
They just are. And he looks terrifying in this.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
He does, and he looks like he made a transformation.
I mean, I don't know if that's all makeup or
what prosthetics.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, I think there's some prosthetics on his head, yes,
I certainly. But his body, he looks even bigger than
he's ever been. I don't know how that's possible, but
he does.

Speaker 8 (07:56):
That apparently got a lot of rave reviews at all
the film festivals.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's so funny, crying and the Smashing Machine got a
five minute standing ovation at con.

Speaker 7 (08:06):
They were just terrified. This guy is the Smashing Machine.
We better stand up.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
Daniel day Lewis returns to the screen for the first
time in seven years. Anemone is the name of the movie.
It's everything I've seen on it. It's kind of hard
to tell exactly what this is.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
The son wrote it. His son wrote, that's why he
did it.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
This is anemone his son.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
This is his son's movie, and that's the only reason
why he decided to act apparently.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, it looks scary.

Speaker 6 (08:36):
I don't know, creepy. I think that would be cool
if he did a horror movie. That would be awesome.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Well, yeah, I mean the tone of it.

Speaker 8 (08:44):
All I've seen so far is a lot of like
conversations between him and Sean Bean. I think the guy
that played Ned Stark in Game of Thrones, and it
just looks super tense and has some like maybe religious
overtones and undertones.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
The terrorist in Patriot Games too, that was trying to
kill Harrison Ford.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
Scary dude, Irish Irish terrorist.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Ned start thought he was the main character after the
first season.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Nope, spoiler alert. But you know what that does make
the series? It does If you don't have that exclamation
to end season one of Game of Thrones, your anticipation
level and the way you watch the rest of it
is completely different. Because when they did that, it was
all bets are off and anything could happen in any scene,

(09:35):
so you don't have that like reassurance in the back
of your head, like, well, they're not going to kill
off this person. They're two integral to the plot. Nope,
they will kill off anybody.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
On that show.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
That's what makes it great, anyone.

Speaker 8 (09:48):
And that's what made it bad in the end is
because they stopped doing that. Then it was like, no,
everyone lives and everybody gets exactly what they'd like.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I think it was bad because they kept leaving like
their pinkberry up in the scenes, like they were getting
pretty lazy.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
The Starbucks cup that they forgot to take care. I
think John Snow should have been the king.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Come on, that is going to bother me forever.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
He wasn't a bastard. He had royal blind make.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
Him the king or make her the queen, like just
pick one, she got the dragons.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Wait, guys, I know those two sound like great candidates.
Have you seen the weird guy in the corner in
the chair. He's got some freaky ideas and I'm just saying,
let's give him a chance. He really was the RFK
of Game of Thrones and they and they gave.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
It to him.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
The broken one, the broken I.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
Guess, and there was a way that I was like,
all right, I think that's plausible enough.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
But he didn't have enough.

Speaker 7 (10:47):
Like you can't do anything, you can only see what's happening.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
It's hard to instill fear in people.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
They're charging the gates. I can't do anything. I can't move,
but here they come.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Guys, guys, guys, can you They're they're charging the gates.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Uh, this is very appropriate for this month.

Speaker 8 (11:13):
The Gueromo del Toro new Frankenstein movie is going to
open up on the seventeenth, and then it'll hit Netflix
next month.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Did you ever watch the one that where de Niro's
Frankenstein the Monster?

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, it's that sounds made up.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
No, man, I'm a monster. I'm serious, it was. It
was a Coppola movie. Maybe yeah, he's yeah, he was
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Dude, what Yes, he was Frankenstein's Monster.

(11:55):
Kenneth Brana was Victor Viktor Frankenstein.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I gotta look at this.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
Up, dude, it's real.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm looking at it.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
It was nineteen ninety four and uh, I mean it's
got a good cast and Thomas Holst is in it.
Who was Ama Dais and Pinto and Animal House. Yeah,
John Cleese is in it, Helen on Bottom, Carter, Ian Holme,
Aiden Quinn.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
It's it's good.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Oh, the Frankenstein's Monster. That's actually a good look. It's
not bad.

Speaker 9 (12:26):
It was.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
It was pretty scary, but it is hard to disassociate
the de Niro from the Frankenstein.

Speaker 8 (12:35):
I wouldn't have known that was him just seeing the pictures,
like that doesn't look like I can't.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Find him anywhere. No, I like that. That's a pretty
good Franken sign.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
People don't love that movie. I've never even heard of it. Huhuh.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
It was a pretty big deal at the time, but
you know it's long four okay, Like if that happened
in the social media age, it would have been huge,
but it kind of just didn't take off.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
And back the movies didn't take off. They didn't take off.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
They just fell, yeah, well off a cliffs.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
They'd followed the cable and you know, you had a
shot there. But that was one of those movies that
it wasn't even shown on cable a lot. But it's
funny to see de Niro as the Frankenstein Monster.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
You're running for me run it for me. H, Jeremy
Allen White from The Bear is going to be in
the Springsteen movie this month. Uh, Springsteen Delivered Me from
Nowhere comes out on the twenty fourth.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
YEP.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
That's another big one.

Speaker 6 (13:31):
People are. People are raving about his performance.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
To me, I won't be able to get like the Bear,
the Bear out of my head when I see it. Also,
he looks like that one TikToker guy who just keeps
repeating the order until by the end it becomes unintelligible and.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
He's like, yeah, yeah, let me get a cap bole
in cheese and then the next one, alright, let me
get a capra call. That's who Jeremy Allen White looks
like to me.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
Yeah yeah, But I mean just from the trailer, like
when he's actually on stage as Bruce, it looked legit.
I think it's gonna be harder to play like the
quieter moments.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah, well, people don't really know what that is. And
like it's all in the writing too, because if they
make it really cheesy like the Doors. Val Kilmer should
have won an Oscar for how good he was as
Jim Morrison, but the writing was so bad in that
movie where he only spoke in song lyrics and stuff.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
Yeah, you know, so.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
If they avoid that tropy thing, which I think they've
got a pretty good formula for the bio pickdown, now
you know what I mean. Ever since Jamie Foxx did
Ray Ray. Yeah, the music bios have really been formulaic
in a good way in that they they work their

(14:57):
fun movies to watch.

Speaker 8 (15:00):
On the TV side of things, SNL returns for its
fifty first season. That'll be this coming Saturday, and then
Tim Robinson's new show, The Chair Company is going to
be on HBO Max on the same day.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I don't know what to think of the Tim Robinson thing.
I love Tim Robinson. I didn't love the movie Friendship.
I know Jacob loved it and all the people his
age loved it. I didn't love it. I still haven't
made it through the whole movie.

Speaker 8 (15:23):
I think you said it was super awkward right in
its cringe it's impossible.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, it's cringe exponentially cringe, and it's not my favorite.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
But that show looks promising.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
SNL is going to be interesting because they made some
really strange, some puzzling moves, and I'm not exactly sure
why they did what they did in terms of casting,
getting rid of longfellow Heidi Gardner, who was a favorite.
She wanted to stay, apparently, and they booted her and
Ago Wodham, who I think left on her own. And

(16:01):
part of that was I think there was this sense
that they were bringing in people from the sort of
modern comedy world of the internet, all right, like the
guy who's on kill Tony and the TikTok girl Veronica
whatever her name is, Yeah, And I think that started
to get people thinking that SNL was now going to

(16:23):
try and cater to the way that audiences view comedy now,
which is not through comedy movies, which is not through
sketch comedy. It's through little vignettes and sketches on people's
phones that last a minute, okay, or like little stand
up bites from live shows and you know, stuff like that.
But the last thing they did before they announced the

(16:45):
full cast and everything was hire a bunch of old
school style writers, including a couple of guys from the
Harvard Lampoon. So they might be trying to they might
not be going full into this like let's just become algorithmic.
It might still have a foot in the past way
of doing things, which is very much from the school

(17:07):
of improv, Second City, Ground Links, Improv, Olympic allth this
bill was in, you know, a couple of those, and
that was always the genesis of the show, and they
would sprinkle in a couple of stand ups.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
I don't I really am wondering about the dude from
kill Tony. I just I cannot picture him doing this.
He seemed so rough around the edges, just as a
stand up comic. Yeah, And so I do not know
how he's going to do well.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
I think I can't picture it going well.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
There was a whole lot of sentiment from most viewers
and even some SNL alums like Tina Fey, Like, you know,
Tina Fey is like, for lack of a better way
to describe it, is the least woke person there is.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
She's all about funny. Is funny.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, And even she's been like, hey, I think they
need to toughen.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
Up in the writer's room a little bit.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
And she was a little worried that things were getting
skewed towards like let's not hurt anybody's feelings, etc.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Et cetera.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
And sometimes that's just not possible. In comedy in terms
of when you are coming up with something, the writer's
room might get a little nasty before you hone it
down into something that is palatable for everyone. It's like
the stuff we say off air is different than the
stuff we say on the air. And I think that

(18:32):
guy was a reaction to that that they were like,
you know what, we need to balance this out because
it was so like the same writer's room that thought
it was a good idea to have Kate McKinnon go
out and sing Hallelujah as Hillary Clinton, which was one
of the worst things SML has ever put on. Yeah,

(18:52):
you know, that's that was the balance of sort of
political sentiment in the room.

Speaker 6 (18:58):
So that kid, if nothing else, might stir it up
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Hopefully, Well you'll get to see it this weekend. Bad
Bunny is the.

Speaker 8 (19:07):
Boney who is also we didn't get to talk about
this the Super Bowl halftime show.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
Curveball, very big Curveball.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I don't know. I don't feel like I know his catalog.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
I don't feel like I know I do, and I
just don't know that I do.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Here comes Peter Konto.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, no, he he got chosen after Taylor apparently they
couldn't come to an agreement with Taylor Swift. They had
that lined up, and apparently there was some That's why
she started dropping the Easter eggs.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
She thought it was gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Hmmm, I mean that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
And then she had like some demand that the NFL
was like, yeah, now this is a super Bowl, it's
not a Taylor Swift concert.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Wait, do you know what the demand was?

Speaker 6 (19:50):
No, it was vague. There were reports about it.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
What could it be?

Speaker 6 (19:54):
What would I think it would have been?

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Dealt with the production element of what she was doing,
and she was just asking too much, and they're like,
this is still a football game.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
This is my guess.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Everybody's so over the top with their production anyways.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, very much so. I mean, Lady Gaga came out
of the ceiling.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
I just can't imagine what the NFL saying no to her,
like over a production unless it was gonna like really
impact the field or you know, or it.

Speaker 7 (20:27):
Was about ownership, like she owns the performance because that's
her big thing, that he owns all her music.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
That's a great point.

Speaker 7 (20:36):
And they're like, no, this is ours, you know, like
like anytime you ever show this again, I'm making money
on this, and they were like, what, no, we would never.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Make that deal. Yeah, because something like that.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
I'm glad it's not her.

Speaker 8 (20:52):
That'd be a lot, you know, although it would be
fun if Travis Kelce wasn't in it and she was.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
But the TV rating if it was Taylor Swift though insane.

Speaker 8 (21:02):
That's what I'm saying, is like, I feel like anybody
in the NFL would do anything to accommodate that. So
I think Bill makes a good point. It might have
been an ownership deal.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
But Bad Bunny, you know, achieves what we were just
doing over in Dublin, which is selling the NFL to
an international crowd. And even though Bad Bunny's really big here,
he's even bigger outside of the States.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
It's funny as people are complaining, they're like, we can't
even get an American to do it, and it's like.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
He's poor week. That's America, that's the US territory. But
that's okay.

Speaker 8 (21:37):
Lesser known holidays this month, actually, I should say, you know,
Columbus Day and Indigenous People's Days on the thirteenth, Halloween
on the thirty first, But the lesser known holidays would
be International Beer and Pizza Day on the ninth National
No Broad Day, on the thirteenth National Cat Day on
the twenty ninth Pleasant with sun high a seventy eight today.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
All right on the way for you, Sue to out
this week and Tim Ben's filling in with your sports here.
Some great baseball going on in playoff Baseball wild Card
matchups last night the Yankees Red Sox game, the Padres
and the Cubs were both just amazing.

Speaker 6 (22:10):
Missy Matthews will join us talking Steelers a little bit
later on. Is she back?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Oh yeah, okay, I don't know if she stayed over
there for a while. Our pick six segment on the
way for you. Plus Big Cat dude, did you see
what happened with Big Kat yesterday?

Speaker 4 (22:22):
I did not.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
He finally did it. He hit the fifty to fifty
at a Cubs game. What he has played the fifty
fifty every game he's ever gone to in his life.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
I've seen the ticket stubs or like the ticket receipts.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
He hit for fifty four grand they hit the Cubs
Padres game yesterday. Plus you might remember the Frampton brothers
from back in the day in the early two thousands.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Here in DVE.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
They made big splashes locally and even regionally and you know,
semi nationally. And Masley was a great music reviewer for
the Post Caazette. He moved out to Arizona and wrote
for the Arizona Republic. I think I think he's been
doing that ever since. But they've got a big reunion
show at Governments and are part of a really cool
music festival.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
Tell you about it at nine to forty.

Speaker 11 (23:48):
Let's start with baseball from last night at the Playoffs
because it was so compelling. Got some local angles with
the Penguins and Steelers coming up in just a little bit.
But you know that game last night again with the
Red Sox and Yankee I was kind of bounced around
doing different things, so I didn't get to watch as
much early as I did in Game one. For that one,
I tuned in when it was three to three in

(24:08):
like the sixth inning and do the seats not working
Yankee Stadium because everybody was standing out like non stop
for the rest.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
Of the game.

Speaker 11 (24:16):
It just was tension that every pitch. It was reminiscent
of what we enjoyed, say ten years ago when the
Pirates were in for brief periods of time and the
Wildcard round, and certainly back in the nineties for those
of us who can remember that.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
It really feels like it's the I mean, the history
between the organization's lens of this, But it feels more like.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
In ALCS than the wild Card.

Speaker 11 (24:38):
Yes, because I don't know if either of these two
teams really have World Series aspiration dream like I guess
you could talk yourself in. The Yankees probably do more
so than the Red Sox. The Red Sox do not.
But you know, I don't look at the Yankees and
say they're the best team in that league, and I
think at least Seattle and Cleveland are better. Those are

(25:02):
my teams going into the American League. Like it would
be a little bit of a winding path for the
Yankees to get in this year, as opposed to you
look at them normally and say they're the crown jewel.
They're supposed to go, you know, because the roster is
the payroll all that. Like, they're gonna have to kind
of surprise a little bit on their way to get there.
But beating the Red Sox would be, if not the
World Series close enough, they'll take that.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
Well, same for the Red Sox.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
If they can somehow pull off this Game three and
knock the Yankees out and the wild that's good enough
for them. That was that saves a season that most
people gave up on.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
I do think everybody, yeah, everybody wrote them off is dead.
They traded away their best player who was of trouble
in the locker room, and everybody goes, what are they doing,
They're idiots.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
Turned out that was a good move for them.

Speaker 11 (25:45):
Yeah, I think the Yankees are kind of feel the
fan base anyway might be feeling it the same way
Steelers fans are. It's been a drought for that long
for them to go to World Series. That we're in
a similar drought around here waiting for the Pirates. The
Steelers to want a playoff game right like they're kind
of viewing from a World Series lens. But they got
a little bit closer last night by way of this
highlight Jazz Chisholm's Matt dive back in the home plate

(26:05):
all the way around of the Austin Wells hit down
the right field line, be to Austin Wells and lines.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Winning the right field.

Speaker 11 (26:13):
Chism the third he's being Lage Hayton coming home.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Here's the row. Unbelievable. The Yankees have a lead Austin
well single.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
I mean Chisholm has two strikes on him at the
plate before that, you know, very nearly strikes out and
ends the inning. If he does that, none of that happens.
This is just the the dominoes that fall in the postseason.
From a guy on the mound who hadn't given up
a run in fourteen innings.

Speaker 11 (26:43):
There are rare things that sound better than like a
first to home, second to home, dash to home plate
in the playoffs, the rising action of the fans you
heard in the background of the Karl Rabitsch call there
so Beddark comes in gets the save the former Pirate
after giving up a run in the previous game for
the Yankees, although it didn't cost them the game, they're
down to one already, just a little insurance run for

(27:04):
the Socks in the first game, New York wins four
to three. The series that closed out last night was
the Dodgers elimiting the Reds eight to four. So they
advance Cleveland six Detroit one. That's a one to one series.
Uh the lineup. And by the way, the Cubs also
lost to the Padres, so that series goes to an
ultimate game three.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Here, speaking of Pittsburgh pitchers, that Cubs Padres game, Mason
Miller through the fastest pitch known to man yesterday Bethel
Park product one hundred and four point eight miles per hour.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
A guy who at one point was it Waynesburg.

Speaker 11 (27:42):
Yes, Joji, I can get lost in baseball.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
In any other sport, well, and I always good story
say that athletics is the one true meritocracy. It's not
always true in every sport because there are people who
are not coached to their potential or coached away from it,
particularly in baseball as a pitcher. I mean, I think

(28:06):
the Pirates ruined a lot of early promising careers back
in the day. But finding out he was a diabetic,
wasn't that the whole thing? Like it changed everything for
an injury revealed that and now he's just like Superman
on the mound.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
And I don't know if you saw the pitch.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
I said it was perfect.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
It was like perfect placement and it was one hundred
and five miles an hours Jamison ty On speaking of
former Pirates, they'll be on the mountain.

Speaker 11 (28:33):
I try to close it out for the Cubs. It's
a five o'clock start. The Red Sox Yankees Game three
is an eight o'clock start. All gets going at three
with Tigers and Guardians, and watching.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
All of that makes your blood boil, and your hatred
for Bob Nutting just expands, Like you think you can't
hate him anymore. Watch that and see what he's depriving
you of.

Speaker 11 (28:54):
Yesterday was the anniversary of the Quato game too, to
tie that all in.

Speaker 7 (28:58):
And I think what's even more upsetting about it all
is knowing that you're not going to go out there
and actually be able to afford enough significant bats to
be a contender next year, but to know just how
in this organization is at drafting and developing. There's nobody
knocking on the door except for the one kid who's
like eighteen.

Speaker 11 (29:17):
Connor Griffin. Yeah. As for the Penguins, they played in
the preseason last night. They're four to one to one
of the preseason. They have a pretty good preseason. Tristan
bros He had a power play goal in the first
Matt Dumba, Avery Hayes, Philip Hollander and missed the other
one there. Oh it was a Covenan. Covenon had the
fifth goal. Five different goal scores for the Pens along

(29:37):
the way to five three victory over Buffalo last night.
Archer's Shieldbuss had twenty eight saves and thirty one shots
on goal from Buffalo, and despite the nine to thirty
am kickoff for the Steelers against the Vikings, the ratings
were through the roof. The only NFL Network international game
that brought in more viewers than that game was the

(29:59):
King City Miami game back in twenty twenty three. Seven
point nine million viewers on average across TV and digital platforms,
and that doesn't include the over the air viewers in
Minneapolis and Pittsburgh, right, So those numbers not baked in yet,
and that's a pretty good spike for that game in Ireland.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
Not surprising at all. Abbey's Got Your News at the
top of the hour.

Speaker 8 (30:20):
October Fest in Pittsburgh gets underway today and Keith Urban
sounds like he's moving on fast from Nicole Kidman.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
A few stories that slips through the cracks for us
each and every week. Our Mistackles segment coming up when
we return here on the dv Morning.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Shot Yet Warmer, the DVE workforce's favorite lunchtime hangout for
the Electric launch weekdays at noon with Michelle Michaels on
dve E.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Each week on the morning show here, we like to
do a segment called miss Tackles because there's so many
stories we don't get too so like later in the week,
we shuffle back through them. Ben Johnson the Bears playing
the Raiders this past weekend. He did a sideline interview
at halftime and it didn't go great.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
Struggle take advantage of those takeaway Okay, So what did
you tell them to get things going?

Speaker 4 (31:15):
That It wasn't our brand of football.

Speaker 12 (31:16):
We're capable of a lot more so, we're hitting the
reset button. You're at half time and we're gonna come
back and establish our identity here in the second half.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
You need to change what you're doing.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
I don't know, you think so?

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Well, where'd you just?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Fine? All right?

Speaker 6 (31:30):
He kind of stared her down there.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Now, in fairness to a deity who I'm not the
biggest Aditi fan, because I think she looks down on Pittsburgh.
I think she hates Pittsburgh. But she did say, do
you need to change what you're doing? But because of
the environment, it sounded, i'm sure to him like she
just said you need to change what you're doing. And

(31:52):
so his reaction was, oh, you think so? And that's
basically what he had said.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
And you know, if you creed her address this another
There's been some buzz about your halftime exchange. Can you
relay how you interpreted that that conversation.

Speaker 12 (32:09):
Yeah, you know, in the moment, I honestly, I didn't
think too much of it. I'm kind of in in
game mode. But then when when I look back at it,
you know, I am a little bit disappointed with what
that looks like. You know, I didn't hear very well,
and that's not an excuse, but when I thought I

(32:29):
heard that not a question, but that I needed to
make some changes, I didn't take.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
That very well. So I'll do a better job with
those going on.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
I mean, you've done these kinds of I have. It's
not the easiest thing.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
That's an awkward thing I'd have to imagine.

Speaker 11 (32:43):
And there's also the gender dynamic that goes into this,
in the sense that if Evan Washburn said to him,
you need to change what you're doing, you.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Think that it's like, yeah, you tell him, coach, Well, no,
I think her body language had something to do with it,
because she's kind of smiling and it's almost like this
he if he doesn't think it's a question and he
thinks she says you need to change what you're doing.
She's saying it smiling and shaking her head up and
down like she's not totally guilty here. But circumstantially it

(33:13):
just wasn't great. You have to be more clear. It's
just kind of one of those one to grow ones.
I don't think it's a big deal, but It was
funny to watch because he shot lasers through her head.

Speaker 11 (33:23):
She hasn't had those lasers shot through her head since
she was doing the Tomlin press conferences.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
And I know what that feels like. Speak about the
cap and gender dynamics.

Speaker 7 (33:34):
You see, that's why we love you, Tim. You're like
a honey badger in the room. We need you in there.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Go ahead and kicked him across the room and just
come right back.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
The more we want you on that wall. We need
you on that wall.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Tuah interviewed after the Dolphins win over the Jets last week,
and here's what he had to say.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
All glory belongs to God, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 12 (33:59):
Just want to thank him for this victory, for us,
keeping us safe for the most part.

Speaker 6 (34:03):
Keeping us safe.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
His star wide receiver Tyreek Hill had his leg nearly
ripped out of the knee.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
It was one of the most gruesome injuries I ever seen.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
And he's like, I just want to thank God for
delivering us here safely for the most part.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Oh, there was the one thing this God did not
protect us from. Even God was like.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
To did you did you notice what I did to
that guy's life? I know I gave you a lot
of concussions, But did you see that because it was
the opposite of getting you there safe?

Speaker 11 (34:37):
Did you see the meme that went around from that
NFL Memes site was all the nurses? Like I guess
there was this nursing ward recently where all the nurses
in the delivery ward were pregnant themselves at the same time,
and they altered the group photo because they thought it
was funny. So they said nurses in recovery room for
Tyreek Hill after surgery, it's the four pregnant nurses.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
So I'm on raw St Brown. Yes, did an interview?
Now what was the circumstance with this one?

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Abby?

Speaker 2 (35:10):
I have no idea. I just saw it on Reddit
this morning. Reckons the Deutsch that blew me away.

Speaker 11 (35:16):
He was raised in Germany, right or something like that?
Is parents are German? Maybe, Yeah, I think that's it.
I think it was he a military kid or something
among those lineowns, right.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
So this was like an NFL Europe interview after they
beat the Browns this past weekend.

Speaker 9 (35:29):
Listen, it's gotta cutting best SBS and offense, Dan bod
drives stalled out, hobby uh pot.

Speaker 7 (35:36):
Third downs boys, Doctor Betans.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
King come to Abba.

Speaker 13 (35:40):
It's my.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Defense Gunstock experienced. Aba, Yeah, it's my Guden way. Guten
defense doesn't doesn't have your defense defense.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Yeah, you can pick it up.

Speaker 10 (35:51):
Did not see that coming Brown. Brown's offense belongs in
the paper corp. What what if he didn't speak German
before the game. It just speaking.

Speaker 11 (36:06):
Well, he does the thing on the NFL. You know,
it's an NFL PR campaign, like you know, he brings
the NFL to Europe kind of thing like in schools,
like he went back to his charter school or something
like that where he was like an elementary school kid
and he like brings them balls and things like that.
It runs, It runs on Sunday mornings, and it ran

(36:28):
a couple of times. I think during the Steeler game.
I never heard him talk though. I never heard him
speak in German.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
That's fluent man. Uh.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
But you know, the international player of the NFL not
lost on us, obviously having been in Dublin. And we
even met Alvaro Martin who does the Steeler games.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah, that was awesome.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
This was his call of the DK Metcalf touchdown.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
He said, Hi, Hira, think I back up.

Speaker 14 (36:59):
Thing?

Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yes, touchdown to much down.

Speaker 4 (37:05):
The Okay, they can't make up body power that.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
Wonderful?

Speaker 4 (37:15):
So it is is touchdown just an American word? I believe?

Speaker 6 (37:19):
So okay, I mean I'm sure you could.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Doesn't he doesn't transfer well.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Because yeah, it's like it's not two separate words. I
guess if it were two separate words, you could come
up with the Spanish for that.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (37:29):
Uh so, yeah, I think it's important to say touchdown now.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Will Gavin of Talk sport over in the UK did
his own call of that touchdown and people were loving
this too, because this is the guy who's typically doing
you know, English football and uh or Gaelic football and
hearing his call on y R like the mallifluousness of
this also sort of led to the beauty of it.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Two receiver us to.

Speaker 15 (37:56):
The right heavy line with guess who Donna Washington that
scoronic goes in most every minute, came back how.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
The hell towny fox fifty tony cock Folty dotsy cock
Katty's done.

Speaker 15 (38:08):
Hadn't even com enough come down to the time down
to five, absolutely sensational.

Speaker 6 (38:18):
Boutin from Seattle had.

Speaker 15 (38:20):
A second tough taple to Pitts molt Steels.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
This car has one episodely WLD you.

Speaker 15 (38:26):
Wanted a Steeler's movement in Tuckland, you got one DK
mecon over the middle, multiple Bikings with the chance to tackle,
except they didn't have a chance because none of them
had the speed of.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
DK back coat.

Speaker 6 (38:39):
It's just the one guy who was actually running faster
than him. But that's all right, that's a good call nonetheless.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Uh and then you know, look talking about running fast.
Peyton Wilson in that game, you know, might have saved
the game for the Steelers by running down Addison and
keeping him from scoring on that play and leaving more
time on the clock they would eventually score, but that
definitely helped make it a lot tighter for the Vikings
down the stretch. And Ben Roethlisberger on his podcast is
glowingly praising Peyton Wilson.

Speaker 13 (39:05):
The play of the series before when they hit the
big pass on us, which was mind blowing that they
got a guy wide open behind us. The fact that
Peyton Wilson ran that guy down, not like he had
an angle. He just flat out said I'm going after
this guy. Now we all know he came out. That
was one of the things about him coming out as

(39:26):
he had speed. That play right there should have endeared
him to Steelers fans. Regardless of what you think for him.
You should love that guy forever because that's embodying Steeler,
like the Steeler way, never quitting, never getting up, never
giving up. Chasing Addison down. Now, I'll say this, Addison

(39:46):
not scoring is like a that's mind blowing to me.
How do you not get to the two yard three
yard line and dive or as you get tackled reached
the ball. But anyway, when he makes that tackle, it
takes them four more downs to score at least a
minute goes off to close. If they score right there,
you can now kick the ball deep, play defense, use

(40:08):
a two minute, use your time out, and and play
the Actually you only don side kick and now the game.
If they say the Steers go three and out, now
you're getting the ball in midfield. Mean it's a totally
different ball game. Look back on that plays later in
the season. If the Steelers are are are finding ways
in and maybe they get like a one game, that
play might go down. It goes down to play of

(40:29):
the game, but it might go down as one of
the plays they'll go down to the top ten play,
maybe top five, maybe the play of the season. When
we look back on the season, that play, I'd say,
I'd say to you, Peyton, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
That is.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
That's called being a Pittsburgh Steeler.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
That totally speaks to an issue a lot of the
old guys have, a lot of the alumps have that
the identity of this team doesn't resemble what they remember
it to be, which is a one for all, all
for one kind of thing.

Speaker 11 (40:59):
And that play right there, no doubt about it. The
underscore Roethlisberger's point. People attach that to DK forever while
he was in Seattle because he chased down the guy
in the interception Baker right exactly. Uh.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
And we'll end with this Priest Hall from the Jets
with the perfect quote about the Jets season. This is
as good as it gets when trying to describe an
ill and four teams.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
It's a tale of, you know, three out of our
four losses.

Speaker 16 (41:22):
You know, teams will shoot ourselves in the foot and
then we come back and shoot ourselves in the head.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
So wow, they shoot themselves in the foot and we
shoot ourselves in the head. Like you know, things are
going poorly when those are the kinds of references that
you're baking, like, yeah, just end this for me, please.

Speaker 11 (41:46):
My tenure as a jet I found you're not equiminius.
I'm and Ross Saint Brown. His brother's Equimeneus Saint Brown.
Lever lever Custin. Lever Custin, Germany is where he was
born and his dad was a bodybuilder in the eighties
and a two time Mister Amateur Universe. His mom is
originally from Leverkusen, so that's why he speaks. Oh that's

(42:07):
wild German as fluently as he does.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Very cool.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
So there's your miss Tackles. We're trying to touch all
the bases this week. Abby's got your news coming up.

Speaker 6 (42:15):
Next, we'll talk.

Speaker 8 (42:15):
About Octoberfest in Pittsburgh, which gets underway today.

Speaker 14 (42:19):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They
don't go to the office, They build it and Steelers
Pro Shop get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Here's Tom Opferman.

Speaker 16 (42:33):
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has only made four starts so far
in his Steelers tenure, but the impact he's had on
the team's offense is undeniable. Rogers's eight touchdown passes is
good for third most of the league to this point
in the season, and his passer rating of one to
two point six is ninth best. He's also helped the
offense start games off on the right foot, as he's
led two out of the four opening drives into the
end zone for six something the Steelers offense last year

(42:55):
didn't achieve once. Rogers has been a shot in the
arm for the Steelers offensively, but he can't do it alone,
and the signs of life shown by the running game
against the Vikings are very encouraging. The team rushed for
one hundred and thirty one yards on twenty nine carries,
good for a four point five yards per carry average.
Entering the game, the team was only averaging two point
eight yards per carry on the season, so the dramatic improvement,
led by Kenneth Gamwell's ninety nine yards was a welcome

(43:17):
development and key to the team's success against the Vikings.
If the team can consistently pair the expert play of
Aaron Rodgers with a strong running game like the one
on display in Dublin, then the offense and the team
will have lots of success as the twenty twenty five
season continues to unfold.

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.
