Live from the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
This is w dv E Pittsburgh does.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Being on television, even though it's the more old school medium,
still give you a little bit of juice and jitters.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
It gives you a little juice and jerrits just because
like it's it does you know it's weird because we've
been doing the Yak, which is a two hour live
YouTube show every day in the middle of the day
for I don't know, like you know, not eight years
now and deckets watched and listens to by like one
hundred and fifty thousand people. So like, but you're right,
(00:50):
like the actual like TV. It could be watched by
the TV might be watched by last but it does
feel different because you're like, oh, man, like someone's walking
in the airport right now and sees this, and we're
by the way, I am. I hope you guys know
I'm not taking being on TV seriously. We are doing
like I did a segment last week because I think
(01:11):
it's so funny if you are walking in the airport
or you're at the gym. So we did an entire
segment where the bottom line just said, would Jalen Hurts
be good.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
If he didn't have leg?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
So like, we'll try to.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Do stuff like that Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Big Cat. He'll be on in a little bit. I
don't remember that being such a coffinist interview.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
You don't remember when we interviewed him in an empty
PPG pants arena.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
He was at a corn silo, I was at a
radio soon that's why a wee we were in a well, yeah,
that makes sense to me. Now, okay, he'll join us momentarily,
and big news from Big Cat with that fifty to
fifty hit. Finally last night at the Cubs game ad
he's got a news update.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
First News this hour brought to you by Better Call
Sy Pleasant with sunshine Today, it's a high of seventy eight.
A way Mo self driving car was stopped recently by
police in northern California for making an illegal U turn,
and that's got people talking. An incident report and a
picture of a San Bruno police officer looking into the
empty driver's seat has gone viral on social media.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Police decided not to give the.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Car a ticket, saying that their forms don't have a
box for robot so. The Department's Facebook post has generated
more than five hundred comments, with many people outraged that
police didn't ticket the company.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
That's a great point. You know why I pulled you over? Hello,
anybody there, you're resisting arrest. Put your hands behind your trunk.
I don't know what you do there. I don't think
anybody does right now. Put a boot on it.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
They're supposed to be Yeah, I mean, listen, if you
start doing stuff like that, like you gotta gotta shut.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That car down. You can't control it though. That's why
I said I put a boot on it. Where in
the middle of the street. What I'm saying is you
can't get the thing to pull over? Well, how they
get that they had it pulled over though, didn't they? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Because it said that the photo was of an empty
driver's seat, so they must have had it pull over somehow. No,
it's not still driving it.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It could picture's lowest police. I'm misunderstanding the circumstance. I
thought it just did a U turn and and then
it didn't get pulled over.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
It did a U turn, It got pulled over, but
they couldn't ticket it. They couldn't they couldn't actually process
anything because there was nobody driving it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, this is part of the technology.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
They haven't figured out yet how to be accountable.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I've ridden one of those in San Francisco, and it
is something. It is crazy. It's a weird sensation, and
they're saying that is the future, and then it's safer
than any other mode of transportation, unless it isn't.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
We don't hear a lot of stories about it not
following traffic roles at least like that. That's notice one.
This is the first one that I think that we've seen.
But I mean, again, a larger issue is just it's
impossible to police unless you start making laws where the
companies get significant fines if there's a violation, and like
(04:26):
that has to get processed. But that's kind of what's
wild here, and that's why people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Are so upset. It's kind of real total recall vibe
to it. Yes, yeah, especially with that third boob. Yeah,
the bra for these cars is really weird, really bizarre.
An extra cup. All right.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
This week people online have been sharing there don't knock
it till you try it life hacks. So I got
a couple for you, and let let's decide whether these
are worthy or not. The first one is a shower beer.
Just take a cold can into the shower and love it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
A shower beer because not like, oh I'm taking a shower,
I want a beer. The shower beer signifies everything else
around it a job well done. You're not doing a
shower beer in the middle of the afternoon, even if
you're getting ready to go out on a week Usually
if that's a vacation thing, that's a you're at the
(05:22):
beach or you're you know, doing something outdoorsy or an
all day but yeah, shower beer, it's a vacation move.
So it's just signifies I agree something, okay, all right.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Using a potato peeler instead of a knife for cutting cheese,
I've done it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't love it. Not that big of a deal.
I mean, they have cheese slicers, you know, they do
potato peelers. Yeah, but the potato peelers are smaller. I
don't love the cut. Depending on the cheese, like the
shape of the cheese.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
The ratio here, Yeah, eating a kiwi with the skin on,
less effort to.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Eatac you maniac? Give me peanuts with shells on?
Speaker 9 (06:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
No, did you yea?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Why?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I know? That's how big Heady says. He says, he
eats half the bag with the shells on.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Oh my god, that's a lot of chewing. That's a
lot of chick, a lot of roughage. That's extra work.
But the kiwi, yeah, shave that first?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well you eat? Do you eat a peach, the fuzzy peach?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh yeah, okay, but you want to eat a fuzzy kiwi? No,
I just don't. I don't like Nicole Kidman anymore. Not
a not a big fan, can I honest? I didn't
know you were supposed to take the skin off the kiwi?
Yeah I didn't know that, dude. Have you ever seen
slice kiwi? It never has the skin on it? Yeah? No,
I just thought, I how did you ever seen slice kiwi? Me?
(06:57):
You bet you got the buffets? Go to No, actually,
get bought.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Like a thing of kiwi and eatie, grabbed them, got
a knife, cut it in half and grabbed a spoon
and started eating the kerry and I was kind of like.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh, but eating that thing without skinning it? Man, it
looks like a hairy sack.
Speaker 10 (07:23):
Out of here.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Man, it's a shaved sack. Like take a mark three
to that thing first. Okay, but you will eat a
fuzzy peach, yeah, because it's it's so different. It's so different.
Just look at the texture. Look at a hairy kiwi
(07:45):
by the way, Pirates signed hairy kew.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
And then look at a fuzzy peach, and you tell
me which one you'd rather eat, And you're telling me
a lot about yourself.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I won't eat the outside of a kiwi. It's like
you have a like there. I can't imagine anybody eats
the outside of an avocado. No, thats totally plastic. But
the kiwi is not going to kill you. I can
say easy eat wrong, all right?
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Putting popcorn kernels in a paper sandwich bag. The recommendation
here has rolled a bag clothes. Put it in the
microwave for about three minutes. Once it's pop, throw seasoning inside,
shake it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And enjoy it. Okay, it sounds like a lot of work.
I like the old style jiffy pop. Yeah, remember the
popcorn makers They were big for a long time. People
had popcorn makers which looked like basically like a big
like a coffee like Kerraffe or something, and it had
(08:50):
a shoot on the top and you wore oil and
put the kernels in and then it would be like
it would just they would just fly out of the
top mixer. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (09:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Chopsticks for Cheetos is on this list because it keeps
your fingers dust free.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I mean, I do love Cheetos. I've not had Cheetos
in so long. Cheese curls I've had recently, but not cheatoes,
which are really like the condensed It's like the raisin
to the grape of the cheese. There's a lot more
crunch crunch crunch greasing of corn cobs. The recommendation here is.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Is buttering a slice of bread and then wrapping it
around a freshly cooked corn on the cob to coat
it with butter.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, uh, hot take I don't use butter on corn
on the cob. I just put salt on it. You
never had those corn cobs little I've had those what
do they call those, I don't know, like their corn
cobs spin them and they're always shaped like corn. Also, Yeah,
just to remind you corn. So they're like, don't put
(10:00):
this on your kiwi. This goes on the corn. Big
cats with us, Big Cat, did you have you ever
eaten the outside of a kiwi? Or do you only
eat the inside of a kiwi?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I don't, I don't. I can't even tell you. It's
time to beating the kiwi. That's that's a foreign fruit.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That's not a fruit. I get down with American fruit.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yeah, absolutely, I gotta eat only American fruit, things that
have been, you know, growing in America.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
For years, like bananas. Uh, what else you got?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Bananas? Where where?
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Where?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Where they're grown like Jamaica? Ce No orange? Orange? Oranges?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah? Oranges?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You know that type of strawberries? Blueberries? They do have
some in Hawaii. They have some in Hawaii.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Are you are you sure they have everything in California?
They grow everything.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
There are California bananas.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Okay, So there we go. I guess I was right.
You were wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah right, Savannah, But those aren't the ones you're idiot,
That's what I'm saying. But maybe you will now that
you're rich, Big Cat. Congratulations on behalf of all of
us on behalf of everybody who's ever played a fifty
to fifty at a game? You after how many years
of trying? I wonder, I mean, have you ever done
(11:27):
the math on how much money you have spent on
fifty to fifty before? Finally, last night in the wild
Card Game two against the Padres at Wrigley Field, hit
your first fifty to fifty? How much did you win?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Okay, so I won fifty four thousand dollars. I'm definitely one,
without a doubt, still in the red lifetime.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, what is your typical buy for fifty to fifty
at a game? Like? How much money do you spend?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
It's gone up? So I was trying to figure it
out last night because it's been It's like I'm still
in shock. It's it's been for people who follow me.
It's been a journey. I play it, you know, I
love to gamble. I play it every time I go
to a game. I've had seasons to get to the
Cubs for I don't know, like eleven years now. So
like there was like twenty fourteen, I went to sixty
games and I was probably at that time in my
(12:25):
life probably like fifty to one hundred dollars a game.
The last couple of years I have I have upped it.
I usually spend about six hundred to one thousand dollars
per game. So when you do that math, it's probably
still in the red. But it doesn't matter. It was
the love of the sport. It was the journey. It
(12:47):
was going for this, this this elusive thing. And yeah,
I'm still in absolute shock because I can't believe it.
I thought I was never gonna do it. I thought
it was never gonna happen, and then it finally happened
for you.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I mean, how did you celebrate? Like, what is the protocol? Like,
you hit a hold in one, you have to buy
everyone beers in the clubhouse? What do you do when
you hit the fifty to fifty?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
So it was funny because I went So I was
at the game with my buddies and I actually like
they went left, I went right kind of thing. At
the end of the game and I pulled out of
my pocket. I was like, oh, I looked up the screen.
I saw the numbers. I pulled out of my pocket.
First ticket loser, second ticket loser because I buy so
many tickets every time, and then the third ticket it
was a winner, and I just stood there in disbelief,
(13:31):
reading it back and forth, being like, no way, this
is real. And then I, uh so, I was by
myself was kind of stunk. But I immediately was just
I don't know, I was just ecstatic. I didn't really celebrate.
I just you know, I made a video. I got
I got probably more text than when my kids were born.
My wife is a little o hey shot out my wife.
(13:54):
She was like the number one doubter that I would
ever be able to do that. And I reminded her
right away. I was like, you you got to me.
You thought I couldn't do it, so like off that,
you know, like the people who said I couldn't do it.
And she's just like, you're such an idiot. You didn't
do anything. You just won a raffle that you lost
more on in your lifetime. I'm like, but I did it.
(14:14):
And then she she she had the audacity to ask
me if I was gonna retire, I'm going back to
back today, I'm gonna win it again a day.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
What would you rather?
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Would you rather win the fifty to fifty and your
team lose, or your team win and you lose.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The fifty to fifty. I need to come to win today.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I need to come to win today. So if I
can sacrifice losing the fifty to fifty, I can handle that.
I do. Like I was actually playing it out of
my head because the game itself stunk, Like so I went,
you know, Tuesday, and then Wednesday, Tuesday we had the
back to back home runs. Was electric at Wrigley. Yeah,
yesterday was one of those playoff games where I don't
(14:55):
think we had one chance to get excited like we
had the The crowd was like on their feet. We
were on our feet in the ninth inning because we
got all base runner you know what I mean. Like
it was that kind of game, like one base runner
even down three, We're like, okay, maybe if we get
like five hit by pitches in a row. So it
was not it was not a fun experience, and I
(15:16):
was thinking about it. It's like, at least I want
it yesterday, because if the Cubs losing an elimination today
and I want it, I don't. I don't know if
I'd be able to.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
Post about it.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I think I just have to win it silently and
just pretend that I didn't win it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, that would be the move, or maybe pretend you
win at the next like hockey game you go to
or something like that. Just transfer it to a score.
But Mason Miller yesterday, he's a Pittsburgh guy from Bethel Park,
through a one hundred and four point five mile per
hour pitch perfectly located, one of the fastest pitches, if
not the fast fastest pitch ever recorded. That kid is insane.
(15:50):
But it's not just him, like the whole staff, their
whole team is starting. We went through the pitch at
like average fast ball speed for that staff, it's like
field goal kickers knocking these seventy yarders. Now, the velocity
in Major League Baseball pitching is off the charts. Now.
(16:10):
I didn't think we'd ever see this.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Every single guy they bring
in just throws so fast. I mean even we have
guys like Polentia came in who got hurt like a
month ago. He was our closer for most of the years.
He's now pitching middle relief. He was throwing like one
oh two and it's it's routine, it's it's nothing. It
also helps that the Cubs lineup is uh, we got
like multiple guys who look like they've never Let's just
(16:36):
say there's some guys on the Cubs roster on the
lineup yesterday that, like, I actually think it looked exactly
like what I would have looked like up there. A
couple of the swings where like thatch swings, you know
what I mean, like where they didn't know where the
ball was. I was like, that is exactly what it
would look like if I went and tried to hit
one oh two or one oh three. So yeah, it's
(16:57):
not not the best time to not be able to hit,
combined with the having like all.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
These flamethrowers, but baseball and hockey, but really baseball. It
is just so crazy how the intensity turns on a dime.
How two days ago or three days ago it was
one thing, and now you're watching these games, you know,
three out of the four of the wild Cards, like
going to the third game, the Yankees in Red Sox
as much as the rest of the country hates it,
and I get why they do. Those were two of
(17:23):
the best playoff baseball games I've watched in a long time.
The drama it, I mean, the way that that Yankee
Stadium crowd is reacting to everything. It's more like an
ALCS than a wild card, and it's with you know,
an underperforming Red Sox team this year who might knock
out their rivals. It's just that drama to me is
what makes it so incredible. There's so many storylines in
(17:45):
history that goes into it. It's impossible not to be
romantic about baseball this time of year. It really, it
really is the best.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
And it's also like there's something about playoff baseball where
you know, obviously home runs happen, you know, minimture a
home run that that kind of put the game away,
uh yesterday. But there's something that playoff baseball and like
the manufacturing of the runs that there's you know what
I mean, where it's like.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
They get a guy yeah yeah, and it's just like
it's this chess game where it's just the intensity ramps
up to such a level and it doesn't you know,
if you're watching game in the middle of July, you
don't have the same feeling of like the like what they're.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Trying to do eking out runs and and you know,
moving guys over and bunting and sackflies and taking extra
bases and steals and double steals. I don't know, it's
just yeah, you're right, it's just something that that's special
about October and you have to be so locked in
to every moment because it's just it's so intense.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Give me a parlay on the game on the three
games on the three game threes.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Oh my gosh. Okay, all right, I wish we could
probably me win in the fifty to fifty again, because
that's gonna happen. All right, I got you, I got you.
Jamison titled who's the Cubs starting pitcher today who's probably
not gonna go that long?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We love him because former pirate.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, yeah, So I think over nine and a half outs,
I think I think realistically, I think Craig Council is
hoping that he can get a full two times through
the lineup, so that would land you know, even if
he has a walk or a hit here, he would
land in like the three or four inning range, So
that would get you. You know, if it gets to
the fourth inning, you're gonna get most likely get it.
(19:26):
I'm gonna go Guardians, Team of Destiny. So that's once.
All right, Guardians tie on over nine and a half
and then over seven and a half in the Red
Sox Yankees game. That's two young kids pitching, right, Yeah,
I think that. I think that game is like two
guys who are rookie. One of them is gonna one
(19:47):
of them, I don't know which one, but one of
them is gonna implode.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, And I mean last night ended up with seven
and you know one of them is gonna one of
these games you would think is gonna be more offense.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, maybe bump it down. Maybe you know, you can
get down to seven flat and that should put That
should be a nice little one. And now I'm gonna
have to play this. I like that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I'm playing that.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, okay, let's win.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'm hot, let's.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Get a good luck on that fifty to fifty. I
honest to God, did not really fully believe that it
was real. But now that I know that somebody is
actually one, now you've restored my faith, right right.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Because I was I felt the same way, like I remember.
I This thing goes back so deep. I had a
friend who worked for the Cubs who actually like was
part of the charity, and I was like, Hey, could
you just ring it for me? He's like, yeah, we'd
all go to jail.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And I was like, well, it sounds like enjoy your win,
big Cat, and let's let's let's get a w on
that parla. I appreciate it, love it, Thank you guys.
We'll see a big Cat's part to you by yingling.
Make it a traditional yingling, traditional logger from the oldest
brewery in America. Tien Ben's coming up next All season long,
(21:01):
ask for a yingling traditional longer yingling, oldest brewery in America.
Stop in Minios and Murray Avins, Squirrel Hill and DV Sports.
Tim Benz is here filling it for Mike pursuita with
your sports, and he's actually gonna. Words are gonna come
out of his mouth. He's not just gonna pretend to talk.
(21:23):
It's actually gonna.
Speaker 12 (21:25):
It's such a good bit and I feel robbed that
we can't do much with it. Because Shadur Sanders mined
his responses to questions about Dylan Gabriel becoming the quarterback
like he vocalized words with no words coming out of
his mouth. He was the worst mime in the history
of America.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
He literally confirmed every bias that everybody had against him
in regards to his maturity and lack thereof, and couldn't
be a better metaphor for him in the NFL. Moving
his mouth and no words are coming out.
Speaker 12 (21:56):
Boosted my opinion of him creatively though I hadn't seen
that before. That was a new twist on the diva behavior.
But man, he's got his own bots out there. These people,
I mean, he's got.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Some of them are in the mainstream media.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
Yeah, milk Kuiper's gonna do that with his entire draft
coverage coming up this April from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
He's just gonna mime words. He's not gonna say anything,
He's gonna reverse it. He's just gonna close his mouth
and try to talk. I can't wait till he does
kabuki in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
Who we're gonna figure out who milk Kuiper's Shadar Sanders
of Pittsburgh will be when he's here for draft covers
next year.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
God, he's gonna have who's gonna latch onto? Which one
of these quarterbacks isn't gonna be? I mean, probably gonna be.
Speaker 12 (22:40):
Now, it'll be it'll be Arch if Arch comes out,
If Art comes out, you're convinced.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I don't know, I mean now, there's so much money
in college. Like SuDS took a he took a pay cut, sure,
huge pay cut. And that's not Texas, that's Colorado. Yeah,
so the guys already got a statue Colorado. Uh is
a statue as a jersey. But he should get a statue.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
He won't get a statue before Dion's what an absolute disgrace.
So when he was sitting there, like, I saw the
video of it and I was like, I know, phone,
he's gonna do like the box box in or something.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And he didn't quite pull himself off camera with a rope.
Oh my god, that would have been good.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Grow up all right, So let's start with let's start baseball.
Come back to football. I want to get back to
the Steelers in a little bit, but I wanted to
pick up where you guys left off with Big Cat.
And again, congratulations on the big fifty to fifty win
for him. That was quite a score. So the parlay
that you guys are now playing will go like this,
Tiger's Cleveland at three Padres Cubs for your Jamison Talian
(23:50):
over nine is an over nine and a half or
over eight and a half, just gonna get at least
one more in the four fourth, okay, all right, and
then Yankees Red Sox at eight after that five o'clock
start wraps up at Wrigley last night.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Yankees kept the series alive.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
Against the Red Sox in part because the renegade David
Beddar got to save.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And now Bennar trying to close it. And this one
is driven to right judge going back still back right there,
and redemption for the Yankees. They win it for.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Three, and there will be a game three and this
Wild Card.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Series redemption for Bednar two from the night before he
let up that insurance, Rono was glad to see that
for him.
Speaker 12 (24:38):
He does this little hop when he's not sure if
the ball has left the yard, and he did the
hop last night off the mound, like when the ball
started to carry out towards rece centers and the camera
didn't quite cut away as an oh, no, is he
still doing renegade?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No, I don't think he's doing renegade. He gave it up.
I don't know. I don't know. Well, I mean, he
won't do it when he comes in at top of
the night, only when he come in like mid game, right,
what do you mean like mid inning, Oh.
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Mid inning, right, yeah, you don't do it mid inning. No,
you got to do the whole light show and all
that stuff. I would think, but I don't know if
that plays. He did it originally when he first got there.
Mason Miller talked about him. He had that one hundred
and four mile an hour pitch. We'll see if he
gets out on the mound again today. Imagine he wouldn't
some point if the pan where the Padres are in
terms of trying to protect the lead. I thought that
(25:27):
stat was amazing. How the slowest pitcher for the Padres
yesterday was throwing ninety seven an It's.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Insane, absolutely nutty.
Speaker 12 (25:34):
Let's get back over to football now, and we'll hear
from Denzel Martin, the outside linebackers coach for the Steelers,
talking about Nick Herbig and how his game has become
more polished with the more playing time he's had.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
Nick's a good football player, that's just what he is.
He can do everything. People like to think it's just
a pass guy. If you watch the tape from this
past week, he was running past anything. We needed to
be special teams, you know what I mean. He just
does it all he's just gonna continue to get better
every week.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yes, I saw him in coverage a couple times. He
was set in the edge a couple times.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
I mean he's developing and rounding into a full blown
edge rusher in every sense.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Of the work.
Speaker 12 (26:12):
I was actually more intrigued by all Right, Well, at
least we saw Keanu Benton do what he's supposed to
do against the backup guys. Now, let's see if that
can carry over against starters, and let's see what it
can be against the Browns that come out from the bye.
Also regarding the AFC North, John Harbaugh still playing oddly
coy about this whole Lamar Jackson thing, where every other
(26:34):
report seems to say he's gonna be out two to
three weeks. So he's trying to get the Texans to
think themselves into oblivion.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I guess.
Speaker 12 (26:41):
Penguins. Lastly, they won last night in the preseason. They're
fore one to one in the preseason. Tristan Bros, Philip
Holland or Billy Coyven and Matt Dumbam they all scored goals,
as did Avery Hayes five to three victory over the Sabers.
They'll play the Sabers again here and one more to
wrap up before they get going for the regular season
against Mike Sullivan and the New York Rangers in Madison
(27:02):
Square Garden for Sully's big debut.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Which will be fun on Tuesday, no doubt. All Right,
big weekend of music going on here in Pittsburgh this
coming weekend. The Minoga Hala Pop Festival is Friday and Saturday.
Part of that brings back the Frampton Brothers to Pittsburgh,
reuniting of the band from the eighties and nineties that
would just you know, was one of the most popular
(27:25):
bands in town. And it's a really cool. First of all,
you know, my love for the Government Center. What an
outstanding venue it is, coffee shop, bar, record store, concert
venue right on the north side there, and this is
really cool. And glad to talk to Ed Masley when
we come back from this break, who was a longtime critic,
music critic and writer for the Post Gazette and he's
(27:46):
been out in Arizona with the Arizona Republic for a
long time, but he's coming back home for a reunion
this weekend. We'll talk to Ed and here a little
Frampton Brothers next.

these kinds of places. Then you supporting local music bringing
in action all over the place. The bar, the coffee shop,
the record shopping. It's like the coolest place. If you
haven't been down there. Great opportunity to do it this
weekend because they're doing the Minonga Hailo Pop Fest Friday
and Saturday. And joining us right now. Somebody who is
(29:23):
no stranger to the Pittsburgh music scene, but it's been
a minute since he's been here. Part of the Frampton Brothers,
who were kind of a dominating pop rock band in
the nineties here in Pittsburgh. He was a music critic
for the Post Gazette before going out to Arizona and
write for the Arizona Republic, and he joins us now.
It's Ed Masley. Ed, what's up, buddy, How are you?
Speaker 13 (29:42):
How are you? Thanks so much for having me on.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Man, Thanks for giving us a call this morning, and
welcome back. I've enjoyed reading everything that you've been writing
through the years out in Arizona, because you're always previewing
concerts that are either were on their way here or
you're reviewing concerts that I've seen here and wondering, you know,
what your thoughts are on these big tours. So congrats
on a great body of work that you're continuing to
(30:05):
churn out.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I appreciate that you got to so the Frampton Brothers reunion.
How did this come about?
Speaker 13 (30:14):
Well, you know, Mike, Mike Shanley, who put this festival together,
reached out to me and we had you know, we'd
been asked to play a few times through the years,
but it never like came together right, and I really
wanted it to work this time, and reached out to
the guitar player and we just started calling up the
former band members and got some good stuff going on.
(30:37):
We've got the lineup that recorded our final record is
playing most of the show. And then I reached out
to the two guys who joined us on our first
record that hasn't we haven't played with them since nineteen
ninety one, and they're coming up in the middle of
the set to do like a little mini set from
the first record.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's so cool. I mean, you had a real fervent
fan base back in the day. How many records did
you guys end up putting out?
Speaker 13 (31:01):
We put out four records. There were three full length
albums and leap. There was also like a little cassette
only released that we sold at one show, like four officials.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, what kind of venues were you playing back then?
And when when was the last Frampton Brothers gig by
the way.
Speaker 13 (31:20):
The last one was seventeen years ago.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Okay, we played the BDP in Bloomfield obviously rip, but
mostly you know, we played the Decade a lot.
Speaker 13 (31:34):
We played the Banana a lot, Graffiti.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, the kind of Glory, Yeah, the nineties we played those.
So the Government Center have you been there yet? Had
you heard about it? Because I you know, I can't
say enough things about it as in articulate as I
was in the introduction. It really is just an extremely
important spot here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 13 (32:00):
I have heard great things about it, you know, I
have friends who've gone there and spoken highly of it.
And I'm going there for the first time Friday to
see the first night at this festival. So I'm looking
forward to checking it out.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
So it starts tomorrow. You're gonna love it. Greg Hoy
and the Boys Friday night headlining Garment District, Dnali's and
Pink Gin Marimbas, and then Saturday, Frampton Brothers will be
headlining along with the Harry Bonzell's Benefits and bat Radar.
And you can get your tickets over there at Government
Center and online. I'm assuming beforehand, So have the practices
(32:34):
been going good rehearsal's going good for you guys.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah, they're going great.
Speaker 13 (32:38):
We've we've really been putting a lot of effort into
you know, getting refamiliar with these songs we haven't played
in forever, you know, but Muschel memory kicks in on.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
A lot of it. Yeah. Is it like, do have
the old dynamics come back? Because I've done band reunions
with bands that I played with for a while and
then not played with them for fifteen years, and then
do a show with him, and I'm like, God, this
is like we never left.
Speaker 13 (33:03):
Yeah, it definitely feels like that. Yeah, and I'm sure
it will be like that on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Those two guys are still arguing about the same thing.
We can't decide on an ending for.
Speaker 13 (33:15):
This, yeah, I mean some of that enters the picture, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Mostly this is nothing but a celebration for you guys.
I'm sure.
Speaker 13 (33:26):
Oh yeah, Yeah, it's such a joy to be playing
with these guys again. You know, it was a huge
it was a huge part of my life.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
You know.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
I think the Frampton brothers were together for maybe thirteen
fourteen years and those were like, you know, formative years.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah for me.
Speaker 13 (33:44):
Right, So it's just really exciting and beautiful to make
music with these guys.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Again, Well, let me ask you something about your other
professional life here as a music critic and writing for
the Arizona Republic. What is the biggest change that you've
seen in the concert industry in your time that you
think is making things better for the concert viewer?
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 13 (34:12):
Production values have gotten better, right, Like going to a
show at a stadium sounds better than it did back
in the nineties. Going to the going huge arenas, it
seems like a better experience than it was back then,
you know. And and bands are touring more than they
used to because now no one buys records, so they
(34:36):
make their money on the road. So you get you
get more opportunities to see bands.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
And what do you think is the thing that is
making it a less enjoyable experience as compared to you know,
nineties into the two thousands.
Speaker 13 (34:50):
Well, I mean ticket prices are certainly you know, not
what we're it's it's way more expensive to see shows now.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Into the head of ticketmaster, we're not paying enough. Yeah, Well,
you either.
Speaker 13 (35:09):
Have the money to see a show or you don't.
I mean, when I when I look at these ticket
prices that people are paying the high end of some
of these ticket prices. It's amazing to me that people
can afford to see more than one show year with
what they're paying.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yeah. Well, have you had a chance to see a
show back here in Pittsburgh Get it's a new PPG
pants arena.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
It's pretty nice. I mean, sonically, it's pretty awesome compared
to what the Igloo was, and it enables us to
get way more shows here. But yeah, the whole sort
of the pricing, and I think I thought you were
going to say people being on their phones was the
biggest difference, and lack of people paying attention that is
a big difference.
Speaker 13 (35:48):
Yeah, yeah, it is. You know, it's funny when when
performers like you know, encourage you not to get your
phone out and people are all freaked out about it.
I just saw Ghosts and they would let you use
your phone in and Maynard from Toll he won't let
you use your phone.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:04):
No, there are artists like taking a stand against it.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Well, the Frampton Brothers let people use their phones at
Thenoga hilopopes.
Speaker 13 (36:10):
People can use their phone preferably not to just be
standing there scrolling.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Through it for something else to do.
Speaker 13 (36:20):
Yeah, use it to take videos and pictures. That's fine,
don't catch up on the sports course.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So let's let's revisit some Frampton Brothers. What are we
going to listen to? Oh?
Speaker 13 (36:33):
I believe we're going to listen to Dressing Room from
file Under after Failure. Uh. This was one of my
favorite songs to play back in the day, and uh,
I hadn't played it in many years, and it's it's
been really fun and rehearsal awesome. It always was one
of the well things go really good to you have
me on them.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Oh, but you Batman, I mean you. It's a it's
a pleasure. You're you're an integral part of the Pittsburgh
music scene for a long long time, and it's I'm
glad that you're coming back to celebrate that time. This

WDV bud Light Game Day Bar of the Week to
(41:02):

But now you gotta call me Ronald? Would you not
eat my pants? Ronald? Whoa man?
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Way?
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Google it.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
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 2 (41:43):
Here's Tom Opferman.
Speaker 16 (41:45):
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has only made four starts so far
in a Steelers tenure, but the impact he's had on
the team's offense is undeniable. Rogers' 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 up 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.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Last year didn't achieve once.
Speaker 16 (42:08):
Rodgers 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 rush 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 development and
(42:30):
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, on Tom Offerman with the Steelers report, you.
Speaker 2 (42:48):

Speaker 4 (00:17):
This is w dv E Pittsburgh does.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Being on television, even though it's the more old school medium,
still give you a little bit of juice and jitters.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
It gives you a little juice and jerrits just because
like it's it does you know it's weird because we've
been doing the Yak, which is a two hour live
YouTube show every day in the middle of the day
for I don't know, like you know, not eight years
now and deckets watched and listens to by like one
hundred and fifty thousand people. So like, but you're right,
(00:50):
like the actual like TV. It could be watched by
the TV might be watched by last but it does
feel different because you're like, oh, man, like someone's walking
in the airport right now and sees this, and we're
by the way, I am. I hope you guys know
I'm not taking being on TV seriously. We are doing
like I did a segment last week because I think
(01:11):
it's so funny if you are walking in the airport
or you're at the gym. So we did an entire
segment where the bottom line just said, would Jalen Hurts
be good.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
If he didn't have leg?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
So like, we'll try to.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Do stuff like that Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Big Cat. He'll be on in a little bit. I
don't remember that being such a coffinist interview.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
You don't remember when we interviewed him in an empty
PPG pants arena.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
He was at a corn silo, I was at a
radio soon that's why a wee we were in a well, yeah,
that makes sense to me. Now, okay, he'll join us momentarily,
and big news from Big Cat with that fifty to
fifty hit. Finally last night at the Cubs game ad
he's got a news update.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
First News this hour brought to you by Better Call
Sy Pleasant with sunshine Today, it's a high of seventy eight.
A way Mo self driving car was stopped recently by
police in northern California for making an illegal U turn,
and that's got people talking. An incident report and a
picture of a San Bruno police officer looking into the
empty driver's seat has gone viral on social media.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Police decided not to give the.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
Car a ticket, saying that their forms don't have a
box for robot so. The Department's Facebook post has generated
more than five hundred comments, with many people outraged that
police didn't ticket the company.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
That's a great point. You know why I pulled you over? Hello,
anybody there, you're resisting arrest. Put your hands behind your trunk.
I don't know what you do there. I don't think
anybody does right now. Put a boot on it.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
They're supposed to be Yeah, I mean, listen, if you
start doing stuff like that, like you gotta gotta shut.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That car down. You can't control it though. That's why
I said I put a boot on it. Where in
the middle of the street. What I'm saying is you
can't get the thing to pull over? Well, how they
get that they had it pulled over though, didn't they? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Because it said that the photo was of an empty
driver's seat, so they must have had it pull over somehow. No,
it's not still driving it.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It could picture's lowest police. I'm misunderstanding the circumstance. I
thought it just did a U turn and and then
it didn't get pulled over.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
It did a U turn, It got pulled over, but
they couldn't ticket it. They couldn't they couldn't actually process
anything because there was nobody driving it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, this is part of the technology.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
They haven't figured out yet how to be accountable.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I've ridden one of those in San Francisco, and it
is something. It is crazy. It's a weird sensation, and
they're saying that is the future, and then it's safer
than any other mode of transportation, unless it isn't.
Speaker 7 (04:05):
We don't hear a lot of stories about it not
following traffic roles at least like that. That's notice one.
This is the first one that I think that we've seen.
But I mean, again, a larger issue is just it's
impossible to police unless you start making laws where the
companies get significant fines if there's a violation, and like
(04:26):
that has to get processed. But that's kind of what's
wild here, and that's why people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Are so upset. It's kind of real total recall vibe
to it. Yes, yeah, especially with that third boob. Yeah,
the bra for these cars is really weird, really bizarre.
An extra cup. All right.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
This week people online have been sharing there don't knock
it till you try it life hacks. So I got
a couple for you, and let let's decide whether these
are worthy or not. The first one is a shower beer.
Just take a cold can into the shower and love it.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
A shower beer because not like, oh I'm taking a shower,
I want a beer. The shower beer signifies everything else
around it a job well done. You're not doing a
shower beer in the middle of the afternoon, even if
you're getting ready to go out on a week Usually
if that's a vacation thing, that's a you're at the
(05:22):
beach or you're you know, doing something outdoorsy or an
all day but yeah, shower beer, it's a vacation move.
So it's just signifies I agree something, okay, all right.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Using a potato peeler instead of a knife for cutting cheese,
I've done it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I don't love it. Not that big of a deal.
I mean, they have cheese slicers, you know, they do
potato peelers. Yeah, but the potato peelers are smaller. I
don't love the cut. Depending on the cheese, like the
shape of the cheese.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
The ratio here, Yeah, eating a kiwi with the skin on,
less effort to.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Eatac you maniac? Give me peanuts with shells on?
Speaker 9 (06:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
No, did you yea?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Why?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I know? That's how big Heady says. He says, he
eats half the bag with the shells on.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Oh my god, that's a lot of chewing. That's a
lot of chick, a lot of roughage. That's extra work.
But the kiwi, yeah, shave that first?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Well you eat? Do you eat a peach, the fuzzy peach?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh yeah, okay, but you want to eat a fuzzy kiwi? No,
I just don't. I don't like Nicole Kidman anymore. Not
a not a big fan, can I honest? I didn't
know you were supposed to take the skin off the kiwi?
Yeah I didn't know that, dude. Have you ever seen
slice kiwi? It never has the skin on it? Yeah? No,
I just thought, I how did you ever seen slice kiwi? Me?
(06:57):
You bet you got the buffets? Go to No, actually,
get bought.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Like a thing of kiwi and eatie, grabbed them, got
a knife, cut it in half and grabbed a spoon
and started eating the kerry and I was kind of like.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh, but eating that thing without skinning it? Man, it
looks like a hairy sack.
Speaker 10 (07:23):
Out of here.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Man, it's a shaved sack. Like take a mark three
to that thing first. Okay, but you will eat a
fuzzy peach, yeah, because it's it's so different. It's so different.
Just look at the texture. Look at a hairy kiwi
(07:45):
by the way, Pirates signed hairy kew.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
And then look at a fuzzy peach, and you tell
me which one you'd rather eat, And you're telling me
a lot about yourself.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I won't eat the outside of a kiwi. It's like
you have a like there. I can't imagine anybody eats
the outside of an avocado. No, thats totally plastic. But
the kiwi is not going to kill you. I can
say easy eat wrong, all right?
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Putting popcorn kernels in a paper sandwich bag. The recommendation
here has rolled a bag clothes. Put it in the
microwave for about three minutes. Once it's pop, throw seasoning inside,
shake it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And enjoy it. Okay, it sounds like a lot of work.
I like the old style jiffy pop. Yeah, remember the
popcorn makers They were big for a long time. People
had popcorn makers which looked like basically like a big
like a coffee like Kerraffe or something, and it had
(08:50):
a shoot on the top and you wore oil and
put the kernels in and then it would be like
it would just they would just fly out of the
top mixer. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (09:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Chopsticks for Cheetos is on this list because it keeps
your fingers dust free.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I mean, I do love Cheetos. I've not had Cheetos
in so long. Cheese curls I've had recently, but not cheatoes,
which are really like the condensed It's like the raisin
to the grape of the cheese. There's a lot more
crunch crunch crunch greasing of corn cobs. The recommendation here is.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Is buttering a slice of bread and then wrapping it
around a freshly cooked corn on the cob to coat
it with butter.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, uh, hot take I don't use butter on corn
on the cob. I just put salt on it. You
never had those corn cobs little I've had those what
do they call those, I don't know, like their corn
cobs spin them and they're always shaped like corn. Also, Yeah,
just to remind you corn. So they're like, don't put
(10:00):
this on your kiwi. This goes on the corn. Big
cats with us, Big Cat, did you have you ever
eaten the outside of a kiwi? Or do you only
eat the inside of a kiwi?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
I don't, I don't. I can't even tell you. It's
time to beating the kiwi. That's that's a foreign fruit.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That's not a fruit. I get down with American fruit.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yeah, absolutely, I gotta eat only American fruit, things that
have been, you know, growing in America.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
For years, like bananas. Uh, what else you got?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Bananas? Where where?
Speaker 5 (10:33):
Where?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Where they're grown like Jamaica? Ce No orange? Orange? Oranges?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah? Oranges?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
You know that type of strawberries? Blueberries? They do have
some in Hawaii. They have some in Hawaii.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Are you are you sure they have everything in California?
They grow everything.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
There are California bananas.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Okay, So there we go. I guess I was right.
You were wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah right, Savannah, But those aren't the ones you're idiot,
That's what I'm saying. But maybe you will now that
you're rich, Big Cat. Congratulations on behalf of all of
us on behalf of everybody who's ever played a fifty
to fifty at a game? You after how many years
of trying? I wonder, I mean, have you ever done
(11:27):
the math on how much money you have spent on
fifty to fifty before? Finally, last night in the wild
Card Game two against the Padres at Wrigley Field, hit
your first fifty to fifty? How much did you win?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Okay, so I won fifty four thousand dollars. I'm definitely one,
without a doubt, still in the red lifetime.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, what is your typical buy for fifty to fifty
at a game? Like? How much money do you spend?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
It's gone up? So I was trying to figure it
out last night because it's been It's like I'm still
in shock. It's it's been for people who follow me.
It's been a journey. I play it, you know, I
love to gamble. I play it every time I go
to a game. I've had seasons to get to the
Cubs for I don't know, like eleven years now. So
like there was like twenty fourteen, I went to sixty
games and I was probably at that time in my
(12:25):
life probably like fifty to one hundred dollars a game.
The last couple of years I have I have upped it.
I usually spend about six hundred to one thousand dollars
per game. So when you do that math, it's probably
still in the red. But it doesn't matter. It was
the love of the sport. It was the journey. It
(12:47):
was going for this, this this elusive thing. And yeah,
I'm still in absolute shock because I can't believe it.
I thought I was never gonna do it. I thought
it was never gonna happen, and then it finally happened
for you.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I mean, how did you celebrate? Like, what is the protocol? Like,
you hit a hold in one, you have to buy
everyone beers in the clubhouse? What do you do when
you hit the fifty to fifty?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
So it was funny because I went So I was
at the game with my buddies and I actually like
they went left, I went right kind of thing. At
the end of the game and I pulled out of
my pocket. I was like, oh, I looked up the screen.
I saw the numbers. I pulled out of my pocket.
First ticket loser, second ticket loser because I buy so
many tickets every time, and then the third ticket it
was a winner, and I just stood there in disbelief,
(13:31):
reading it back and forth, being like, no way, this
is real. And then I, uh so, I was by
myself was kind of stunk. But I immediately was just
I don't know, I was just ecstatic. I didn't really celebrate.
I just you know, I made a video. I got
I got probably more text than when my kids were born.
My wife is a little o hey shot out my wife.
(13:54):
She was like the number one doubter that I would
ever be able to do that. And I reminded her
right away. I was like, you you got to me.
You thought I couldn't do it, so like off that,
you know, like the people who said I couldn't do it.
And she's just like, you're such an idiot. You didn't
do anything. You just won a raffle that you lost
more on in your lifetime. I'm like, but I did it.
(14:14):
And then she she she had the audacity to ask
me if I was gonna retire, I'm going back to
back today, I'm gonna win it again a day.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
What would you rather?
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Would you rather win the fifty to fifty and your
team lose, or your team win and you lose.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The fifty to fifty. I need to come to win today.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I need to come to win today. So if I
can sacrifice losing the fifty to fifty, I can handle that.
I do. Like I was actually playing it out of
my head because the game itself stunk, Like so I went,
you know, Tuesday, and then Wednesday, Tuesday we had the
back to back home runs. Was electric at Wrigley. Yeah,
yesterday was one of those playoff games where I don't
(14:55):
think we had one chance to get excited like we
had the The crowd was like on their feet. We
were on our feet in the ninth inning because we
got all base runner you know what I mean. Like
it was that kind of game, like one base runner
even down three, We're like, okay, maybe if we get
like five hit by pitches in a row. So it
was not it was not a fun experience, and I
(15:16):
was thinking about it. It's like, at least I want
it yesterday, because if the Cubs losing an elimination today
and I want it, I don't. I don't know if
I'd be able to.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
Post about it.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
I think I just have to win it silently and
just pretend that I didn't win it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, that would be the move, or maybe pretend you
win at the next like hockey game you go to
or something like that. Just transfer it to a score.
But Mason Miller yesterday, he's a Pittsburgh guy from Bethel Park,
through a one hundred and four point five mile per
hour pitch perfectly located, one of the fastest pitches, if
not the fast fastest pitch ever recorded. That kid is insane.
(15:50):
But it's not just him, like the whole staff, their
whole team is starting. We went through the pitch at
like average fast ball speed for that staff, it's like
field goal kickers knocking these seventy yarders. Now, the velocity
in Major League Baseball pitching is off the charts. Now.
(16:10):
I didn't think we'd ever see this.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Every single guy they bring
in just throws so fast. I mean even we have
guys like Polentia came in who got hurt like a
month ago. He was our closer for most of the years.
He's now pitching middle relief. He was throwing like one
oh two and it's it's routine, it's it's nothing. It
also helps that the Cubs lineup is uh, we got
like multiple guys who look like they've never Let's just
(16:36):
say there's some guys on the Cubs roster on the
lineup yesterday that, like, I actually think it looked exactly
like what I would have looked like up there. A
couple of the swings where like thatch swings, you know
what I mean, like where they didn't know where the
ball was. I was like, that is exactly what it
would look like if I went and tried to hit
one oh two or one oh three. So yeah, it's
(16:57):
not not the best time to not be able to hit,
combined with the having like all.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
These flamethrowers, but baseball and hockey, but really baseball. It
is just so crazy how the intensity turns on a dime.
How two days ago or three days ago it was
one thing, and now you're watching these games, you know,
three out of the four of the wild Cards, like
going to the third game, the Yankees in Red Sox
as much as the rest of the country hates it,
and I get why they do. Those were two of
(17:23):
the best playoff baseball games I've watched in a long time.
The drama it, I mean, the way that that Yankee
Stadium crowd is reacting to everything. It's more like an
ALCS than a wild card, and it's with you know,
an underperforming Red Sox team this year who might knock
out their rivals. It's just that drama to me is
what makes it so incredible. There's so many storylines in
(17:45):
history that goes into it. It's impossible not to be
romantic about baseball this time of year. It really, it
really is the best.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
And it's also like there's something about playoff baseball where
you know, obviously home runs happen, you know, minimture a
home run that that kind of put the game away,
uh yesterday. But there's something that playoff baseball and like
the manufacturing of the runs that there's you know what
I mean, where it's like.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
They get a guy yeah yeah, and it's just like
it's this chess game where it's just the intensity ramps
up to such a level and it doesn't you know,
if you're watching game in the middle of July, you
don't have the same feeling of like the like what they're.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Trying to do eking out runs and and you know,
moving guys over and bunting and sackflies and taking extra
bases and steals and double steals. I don't know, it's
just yeah, you're right, it's just something that that's special
about October and you have to be so locked in
to every moment because it's just it's so intense.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Give me a parlay on the game on the three
games on the three game threes.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Oh my gosh. Okay, all right, I wish we could
probably me win in the fifty to fifty again, because
that's gonna happen. All right, I got you, I got you.
Jamison titled who's the Cubs starting pitcher today who's probably
not gonna go that long?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We love him because former pirate.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, yeah, So I think over nine and a half outs,
I think I think realistically, I think Craig Council is
hoping that he can get a full two times through
the lineup, so that would land you know, even if
he has a walk or a hit here, he would
land in like the three or four inning range, So
that would get you. You know, if it gets to
the fourth inning, you're gonna get most likely get it.
(19:26):
I'm gonna go Guardians, Team of Destiny. So that's once.
All right, Guardians tie on over nine and a half
and then over seven and a half in the Red
Sox Yankees game. That's two young kids pitching, right, Yeah,
I think that. I think that game is like two
guys who are rookie. One of them is gonna one
(19:47):
of them, I don't know which one, but one of
them is gonna implode.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, And I mean last night ended up with seven
and you know one of them is gonna one of
these games you would think is gonna be more offense.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, maybe bump it down. Maybe you know, you can
get down to seven flat and that should put That
should be a nice little one. And now I'm gonna
have to play this. I like that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I'm playing that.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, okay, let's win.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'm hot, let's.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Get a good luck on that fifty to fifty. I
honest to God, did not really fully believe that it
was real. But now that I know that somebody is
actually one, now you've restored my faith, right right.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Because I was I felt the same way, like I remember.
I This thing goes back so deep. I had a
friend who worked for the Cubs who actually like was
part of the charity, and I was like, Hey, could
you just ring it for me? He's like, yeah, we'd
all go to jail.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And I was like, well, it sounds like enjoy your win,
big Cat, and let's let's let's get a w on
that parla. I appreciate it, love it, Thank you guys.
We'll see a big Cat's part to you by yingling.
Make it a traditional yingling, traditional logger from the oldest
brewery in America. Tien Ben's coming up next All season long,
(21:01):
ask for a yingling traditional longer yingling, oldest brewery in America.
Stop in Minios and Murray Avins, Squirrel Hill and DV Sports.
Tim Benz is here filling it for Mike pursuita with
your sports, and he's actually gonna. Words are gonna come
out of his mouth. He's not just gonna pretend to talk.
(21:23):
It's actually gonna.
Speaker 12 (21:25):
It's such a good bit and I feel robbed that
we can't do much with it. Because Shadur Sanders mined
his responses to questions about Dylan Gabriel becoming the quarterback
like he vocalized words with no words coming out of
his mouth. He was the worst mime in the history
of America.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
He literally confirmed every bias that everybody had against him
in regards to his maturity and lack thereof, and couldn't
be a better metaphor for him in the NFL. Moving
his mouth and no words are coming out.
Speaker 12 (21:56):
Boosted my opinion of him creatively though I hadn't seen
that before. That was a new twist on the diva behavior.
But man, he's got his own bots out there. These people,
I mean, he's got.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Some of them are in the mainstream media.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
Yeah, milk Kuiper's gonna do that with his entire draft
coverage coming up this April from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
He's just gonna mime words. He's not gonna say anything,
He's gonna reverse it. He's just gonna close his mouth
and try to talk. I can't wait till he does
kabuki in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
Who we're gonna figure out who milk Kuiper's Shadar Sanders
of Pittsburgh will be when he's here for draft covers
next year.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
God, he's gonna have who's gonna latch onto? Which one
of these quarterbacks isn't gonna be? I mean, probably gonna be.
Speaker 12 (22:40):
Now, it'll be it'll be Arch if Arch comes out,
If Art comes out, you're convinced.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I don't know, I mean now, there's so much money
in college. Like SuDS took a he took a pay cut, sure,
huge pay cut. And that's not Texas, that's Colorado. Yeah,
so the guys already got a statue Colorado. Uh is
a statue as a jersey. But he should get a statue.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
He won't get a statue before Dion's what an absolute disgrace.
So when he was sitting there, like, I saw the
video of it and I was like, I know, phone,
he's gonna do like the box box in or something.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And he didn't quite pull himself off camera with a rope.
Oh my god, that would have been good.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Grow up all right, So let's start with let's start baseball.
Come back to football. I want to get back to
the Steelers in a little bit, but I wanted to
pick up where you guys left off with Big Cat.
And again, congratulations on the big fifty to fifty win
for him. That was quite a score. So the parlay
that you guys are now playing will go like this,
Tiger's Cleveland at three Padres Cubs for your Jamison Talian
(23:50):
over nine is an over nine and a half or
over eight and a half, just gonna get at least
one more in the four fourth, okay, all right, and
then Yankees Red Sox at eight after that five o'clock
start wraps up at Wrigley last night.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The Yankees kept the series alive.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
Against the Red Sox in part because the renegade David
Beddar got to save.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And now Bennar trying to close it. And this one
is driven to right judge going back still back right there,
and redemption for the Yankees. They win it for.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Three, and there will be a game three and this
Wild Card.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Series redemption for Bednar two from the night before he
let up that insurance, Rono was glad to see that
for him.
Speaker 12 (24:38):
He does this little hop when he's not sure if
the ball has left the yard, and he did the
hop last night off the mound, like when the ball
started to carry out towards rece centers and the camera
didn't quite cut away as an oh, no, is he
still doing renegade?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No, I don't think he's doing renegade. He gave it up.
I don't know. I don't know. Well, I mean, he
won't do it when he comes in at top of
the night, only when he come in like mid game, right,
what do you mean like mid inning, Oh.
Speaker 12 (25:05):
Mid inning, right, yeah, you don't do it mid inning. No,
you got to do the whole light show and all
that stuff. I would think, but I don't know if
that plays. He did it originally when he first got there.
Mason Miller talked about him. He had that one hundred
and four mile an hour pitch. We'll see if he
gets out on the mound again today. Imagine he wouldn't
some point if the pan where the Padres are in
terms of trying to protect the lead. I thought that
(25:27):
stat was amazing. How the slowest pitcher for the Padres
yesterday was throwing ninety seven an It's.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Insane, absolutely nutty.
Speaker 12 (25:34):
Let's get back over to football now, and we'll hear
from Denzel Martin, the outside linebackers coach for the Steelers,
talking about Nick Herbig and how his game has become
more polished with the more playing time he's had.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
Nick's a good football player, that's just what he is.
He can do everything. People like to think it's just
a pass guy. If you watch the tape from this
past week, he was running past anything. We needed to
be special teams, you know what I mean. He just
does it all he's just gonna continue to get better
every week.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yes, I saw him in coverage a couple times. He
was set in the edge a couple times.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
I mean he's developing and rounding into a full blown
edge rusher in every sense.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Of the work.
Speaker 12 (26:12):
I was actually more intrigued by all Right, Well, at
least we saw Keanu Benton do what he's supposed to
do against the backup guys. Now, let's see if that
can carry over against starters, and let's see what it
can be against the Browns that come out from the bye.
Also regarding the AFC North, John Harbaugh still playing oddly
coy about this whole Lamar Jackson thing, where every other
(26:34):
report seems to say he's gonna be out two to
three weeks. So he's trying to get the Texans to
think themselves into oblivion.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I guess.
Speaker 12 (26:41):
Penguins. Lastly, they won last night in the preseason. They're
fore one to one in the preseason. Tristan Bros, Philip
Holland or Billy Coyven and Matt Dumbam they all scored goals,
as did Avery Hayes five to three victory over the Sabers.
They'll play the Sabers again here and one more to
wrap up before they get going for the regular season
against Mike Sullivan and the New York Rangers in Madison
(27:02):
Square Garden for Sully's big debut.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Which will be fun on Tuesday, no doubt. All Right,

It's Ed Masley. Ed, what's up, buddy, How are you?
Speaker 13 (29:42):
How are you? Thanks so much for having me on.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Man, Thanks for giving us a call this morning, and
welcome back. I've enjoyed reading everything that you've been writing
through the years out in Arizona, because you're always previewing
concerts that are either were on their way here or
you're reviewing concerts that I've seen here and wondering, you know,
what your thoughts are on these big tours. So congrats
on a great body of work that you're continuing to
(30:05):
churn out.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I appreciate that you got to so the Frampton Brothers reunion.
How did this come about?
Speaker 13 (30:14):
Well, you know, Mike, Mike Shanley, who put this festival together,
reached out to me and we had you know, we'd
been asked to play a few times through the years,
but it never like came together right, and I really
wanted it to work this time, and reached out to
the guitar player and we just started calling up the
former band members and got some good stuff going on.
(30:37):
We've got the lineup that recorded our final record is
playing most of the show. And then I reached out
to the two guys who joined us on our first
record that hasn't we haven't played with them since nineteen
ninety one, and they're coming up in the middle of
the set to do like a little mini set from
the first record.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's so cool. I mean, you had a real fervent
fan base back in the day. How many records did
you guys end up putting out?
Speaker 13 (31:01):
We put out four records. There were three full length
albums and leap. There was also like a little cassette
only released that we sold at one show, like four officials.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, what kind of venues were you playing back then?
And when when was the last Frampton Brothers gig by
the way.
Speaker 13 (31:20):
The last one was seventeen years ago.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Okay, we played the BDP in Bloomfield obviously rip, but
mostly you know, we played the Decade a lot.
Speaker 13 (31:34):
We played the Banana a lot, Graffiti.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, the kind of Glory, Yeah, the nineties we played those.
So the Government Center have you been there yet? Had
you heard about it? Because I you know, I can't
say enough things about it as in articulate as I
was in the introduction. It really is just an extremely
important spot here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 13 (32:00):
I have heard great things about it, you know, I
have friends who've gone there and spoken highly of it.
And I'm going there for the first time Friday to
see the first night at this festival. So I'm looking
forward to checking it out.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
So it starts tomorrow. You're gonna love it. Greg Hoy
and the Boys Friday night headlining Garment District, Dnali's and
Pink Gin Marimbas, and then Saturday, Frampton Brothers will be
headlining along with the Harry Bonzell's Benefits and bat Radar.
And you can get your tickets over there at Government
Center and online. I'm assuming beforehand, So have the practices
(32:34):
been going good rehearsal's going good for you guys.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah, they're going great.
Speaker 13 (32:38):
We've we've really been putting a lot of effort into
you know, getting refamiliar with these songs we haven't played
in forever, you know, but Muschel memory kicks in on.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
A lot of it. Yeah. Is it like, do have
the old dynamics come back? Because I've done band reunions
with bands that I played with for a while and
then not played with them for fifteen years, and then
do a show with him, and I'm like, God, this
is like we never left.
Speaker 13 (33:03):
Yeah, it definitely feels like that. Yeah, and I'm sure
it will be like that on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Those two guys are still arguing about the same thing.
We can't decide on an ending for.
Speaker 13 (33:15):
This, yeah, I mean some of that enters the picture, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Mostly this is nothing but a celebration for you guys.
I'm sure.
Speaker 13 (33:26):
Oh yeah, Yeah, it's such a joy to be playing
with these guys again. You know, it was a huge
it was a huge part of my life.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
You know.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
I think the Frampton brothers were together for maybe thirteen
fourteen years and those were like, you know, formative years.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah for me.
Speaker 13 (33:44):
Right, So it's just really exciting and beautiful to make
music with these guys.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Again, Well, let me ask you something about your other
professional life here as a music critic and writing for
the Arizona Republic. What is the biggest change that you've
seen in the concert industry in your time that you
think is making things better for the concert viewer?
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 13 (34:12):
Production values have gotten better, right, Like going to a
show at a stadium sounds better than it did back
in the nineties. Going to the going huge arenas, it
seems like a better experience than it was back then,
you know. And and bands are touring more than they
used to because now no one buys records, so they
(34:36):
make their money on the road. So you get you
get more opportunities to see bands.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
And what do you think is the thing that is
making it a less enjoyable experience as compared to you know,
nineties into the two thousands.
Speaker 13 (34:50):
Well, I mean ticket prices are certainly you know, not
what we're it's it's way more expensive to see shows now.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Into the head of ticketmaster, we're not paying enough. Yeah, Well,
you either.
Speaker 13 (35:09):
Have the money to see a show or you don't.
I mean, when I when I look at these ticket
prices that people are paying the high end of some
of these ticket prices. It's amazing to me that people
can afford to see more than one show year with
what they're paying.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yeah. Well, have you had a chance to see a
show back here in Pittsburgh Get it's a new PPG
pants arena.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
It's pretty nice. I mean, sonically, it's pretty awesome compared
to what the Igloo was, and it enables us to
get way more shows here. But yeah, the whole sort
of the pricing, and I think I thought you were
going to say people being on their phones was the
biggest difference, and lack of people paying attention that is
a big difference.
Speaker 13 (35:48):
Yeah, yeah, it is. You know, it's funny when when
performers like you know, encourage you not to get your
phone out and people are all freaked out about it.
I just saw Ghosts and they would let you use
your phone in and Maynard from Toll he won't let
you use your phone.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:04):
No, there are artists like taking a stand against it.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Well, the Frampton Brothers let people use their phones at
Thenoga hilopopes.
Speaker 13 (36:10):
People can use their phone preferably not to just be
standing there scrolling.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Through it for something else to do.
Speaker 13 (36:20):
Yeah, use it to take videos and pictures. That's fine,
don't catch up on the sports course.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So let's let's revisit some Frampton Brothers. What are we
going to listen to? Oh?
Speaker 13 (36:33):
I believe we're going to listen to Dressing Room from
file Under after Failure. Uh. This was one of my
favorite songs to play back in the day, and uh,
I hadn't played it in many years, and it's it's
been really fun and rehearsal awesome. It always was one
of the well things go really good to you have
me on them.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Oh, but you Batman, I mean you. It's a it's
a pleasure. You're you're an integral part of the Pittsburgh

Speaker 1 (41:31):
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 2 (41:43):
Here's Tom Opferman.
Speaker 16 (41:45):
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has only made four starts so far
in a Steelers tenure, but the impact he's had on
the team's offense is undeniable. Rogers' 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 up 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.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Last year didn't achieve once.
Speaker 16 (42:08):
Rodgers 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 rush 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 development and
(42:30):
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, on Tom Offerman with the Steelers report, you.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
See the skyline, you drive over the bridges. We built that.
Ironworkers Local Union number three isn't just a job, it's
a legacy.

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.
