Speaker 1 (00:16):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is w d V E Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Now the Bruce Springsteen movie is coming out, and I
understand there's thirty minutes dedicated to the Knicks Bat City.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Show in the movie. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I don't know who plays. I think Brad pitt plays Forky.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, that's great cast, that's good.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I was talking to Joe yesterday. I wonder who would
be a good person to play Joe. Joe's doing, dude,
Joe's crushing. He's seventy five. Can I tell you your
schedule is non stop?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
McConaughey, you would be pretty good. I was gonna say, John, Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
That's too completely different, right there being Joker where everyone
in the club is Joker Shecky. Then the door guy,
he's the bartender, absolutely, what's the word?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
What's the price? Fifty twice? What's the reason? Grapester? In
season he's the bathroom attendant.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
If the Bruce Springsteen movie was just all about how
he stole all of Jokerskey's songs, and it's like face
off or something, and like Joker Shecky's just trying to
get back in him and we've all been misled on
the nature of their lifelong friendship and songwriting partnership.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Like he's a covert assassin, but just for Springsteen, anybody's really.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Bad at it. He cannot get the job done.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
He's like, I'd like to kill that guy for you,
but I have to teach in McKee's rocks on Monday.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Every time he's about to kill him, he realizes he
kind of loves him a little.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Bit, Is that yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Or like the way you stop him from killing is
you just start playing the beginning of pumping Iron and
he can't resist that.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
He has to pick up a guitar and broke back
my Washington. I like it. Why can't I kill you?

Speaker 3 (02:24):
The reviews on that Springsteen movie are not great so far.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
The early words, what did you you know in the film?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Nerd Twitter, it's uh. The The early scuttle butt is
it's not so great. And I was actually thinking about
this on the way in here, because this is the
dumb stuff I think about while I'm driving. They might
have just kind of jumped the gun on Jeremy Allen
White as Springsteen that that might mean it was weird
casting to me, but I agree with you totally, Like

(02:57):
I just don't see him as Springsteen and I'm one
and if that was a he's hot in Hollywood right
now kind of thing, right But then as time goes on,
the bear gets worse and it's regarded not as good
as it was at the time, and his film career
never takes off, not that he's a bad actor, but
that he's not a carry a movie kind of after

(03:18):
and then all of a sudden, you're looking at the
other biopics that have done awesome and the people that
did those, like Jamie Fox with a tour de force
performance as Ray Charles, Timothy Shallomey as a pitch perfect
Bob Dylan. Maybe this dude just doesn't carry a movie

(03:40):
like those guys.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
Although I will say like I thought Timothy Shallama was
a weird choice for Bob Dylan initially I did, to
any crushed agreed.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Initially I thought he is way too squirrely to be
Bob Dylan, even though physically Bob Dylan was never like
some mass sub dude. I just felt like he needs
someone who had carried a little more weight.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
On camera like, boy, did Timothy Shallow may do apathy?

Speaker 7 (04:09):
Well?

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Yeah, but Jeremy Allen White, I agree with you one
and I hate to say it, but just sthetically, when
they cast him, I my first thought was I see
Bruce nowhere in this guy, so that that's going to

(04:31):
be difficult.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
For one.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
The second part of it is his main feature in
most of his acting.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Is that he's brooding.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
He's always just brooding, and it's without.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
A lot of dialogue.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
And which is great if they didn't have a big
script for this perfect cast.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
But what Bruce says has a lot to do with
what we understand of Bruce. It's his lyrics, it's how
he describes his career and how he grew up. But
also I think people kind of perceive Bruce as a
somewhat joyful guy.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
That's exactly what I was going to say, is that
when you look at all those pictures of Bruce of
the seventies, find one where he's not laughing, Find one
on stage where he's not smiling and having a good time.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, And that's a great point, and it's.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Not exactly his forte Jeremy Allen, You're not like, oh,
what a what a bubbly guy.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
No, I think that that's a great point, and a
great point by Abby. The majority of the Bear is
him acting with he's not speaking. You're not impressed by
the things that he says, You're sort of enamored with
all that he doesn't say, right, and he does always

(05:51):
look kind of sad.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well, he's always sad, and I get that.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
The you know, the music that Bruce is is presenting
to an audience is gut wrenching in a lot of ways.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Some of it, but a lot of it is joyful,
you know. In the early ones especially, I think he's
kind of like, you know.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Like a lot of artists, as they get older, some
of the serious stuff matters more to them, you know.
But you know, like Rosalita and Candy's Room and all this,
Like I mean, PURSUITA will probably be able to speak
a whole lot more to this. But and also we
haven't seen the movie, so who knows. I'm just going
on some of the early scottle But like the industry
put out the you will believe how good Jeremy Ellen

(06:28):
White is as Bruce Springsteen and the like, industry leaks
started coming out like oh you can't even tell it's
not Bruce singing. It's unbelievable, like Schallomey with Dylan. And
then it got shown to people and people are starting
to go, ah, this is a mediocre at best movie.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
But we'll see.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
You think of Remy Malik Outside the Teeth.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I hated that movie. I thought he was good, Yeah,
but I hated that movie. And here's how, here's why
I don't think it's a good movie. Does anybody talk
about it or have you seen it since it came out?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
No?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
They had it on TV somewhat recently, and I think
I watched the scene where they were putting Bohemian Rhapsody
together and then when they went to commercial, I forgot
to put it back on.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
It was such a hilariously.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Like milk toast version, like whitewashed version of everything.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Freddy and Freddy.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
What made him interesting to me is that he was
a debaucherous guy that was born out of him being
tortured as a kid for having messed up teeth and
being from where was he from now, Morocco, like Egypt
or something I can't remember, but at any rate, you.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Know, he had it tough. He was an emigrant.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
He got made fun of and everything, and it turned
him into literally like the hardest partying queen in London.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
I think that they really missed an opportunity because there
were so many people attached to that project. Sasha Baron Cohen.
I think if they told that story would have been
a performance the ages, like for him and for us
to tell the grittier story with him. I think he
really could have dove.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Into that elephants but yeah, I mean that happened right.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
But him and that movie and the Other Kid and
the Elvis movie have both been like Mulin Rouge, where
it's this fantastical piece that's put through like a Snapchat filter.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah. Elton John's movie was like that too, though though
I kind of like that.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
That one made sense, like the Flights of Fancy thing,
Yeah a little.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yes, it was almost. Elton John's was so like My
Life is a musical. Yes, so I'm making my biopic
like a musical. We are going to break out into dance.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
What it would have been funny as if they would
have done the Elton Sewn movie with Elton John in
his current state and you know when he does the
like he lifts off the piano and he's like floating
in the air at the tribute door. If it was
like modern day John and he just the piano breaks
and he can't like the whimsy, the magic can't really

(09:25):
lift him off the ground.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
He's like, he's just like one in the ground. Guys, guys,
I'm suspended. The beams at the club are just bending.
Oh man.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
That movie is one of those where like the scenes
where they're in Laurel Canyon in the seventies, I think
if I could be in one place, if if you
could like put yourself in one place and you get
to redo something, that's what I want to redo, what
you know? I mean, But I'll tell you what I
wouldn't mind being about nineteen years old in nineteen seventy

(10:06):
and living in Laurel Canyon. Yeah, and because it was cheap, Yeah,
and your neighbors were all the future pop stars and
movie stars of the world.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Now, would you be yourself from now or would you
just be because none of those people knew what was
going on there, right, I mean, it was still probably amazing.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, no, it I think it was Also I don't
think they just let anybody into their parties. I think
you did have to be an established musician to get
to go to like Peter Tork's house and Mama Cass's
house and everything and hang out with you know, Crosby
Stales and Nash and yeah, but just like exactly.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Our point going to the beach, going.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
To all of that, you know, the grocery store. What
if your life was growing up surfing bill like that may.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
As soon as you said Laurel Canyon, all I could
think of was like Huntington Beach and like all of
those beaches, Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Newport Beach, life delray all.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
I mean that life is real.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Before it was crowded, Before it was crowded, before it
was insanely expensive.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
When you could go over the hill into Hollywood and
it was seedier than hell. But like the clubs at
that time.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Or how about when you went north of there and
there was nothing, you know, like just cliffs. Yeah, you
just drive up the pch and you could, oh, let's
rent a cabin and big Bear this weekend. And I
mean you still do all that. It's just there's a
million people there now and back then. That's why Tarantino
always worked really hard to get those like movies restored
there's one or two that really show life. They're like

(11:38):
historical documents in southern California in the late sixties and
just how different it was.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Man.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
That's why I I really enjoyed the first little part
of our Dublin trip when we went down to health
Uh and got to see the shoreline, because I feel
like a lot of Dublin. You know, there's obviously big
cities and it's develop and there's all these houses, but
you get out into the country and it's like it

(12:06):
was four hundred years ago. Right, It's so rural. They
haven't developed it. They're not planning to develop it. They
don't see that land and go how many condominiums could
we put here?

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Exactly exactly. Anyways, the Bruce Rigsting movie Stakes, that's a bummer.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Now.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I don't know if it does or it does it,
but I do wish they had a jokershecky character in it.
I think it's a real missed opportunity for Pittsburgh. Speaking
of Pittsburgh in movies, The Walk of Fame, mabbe.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
You guys, I think they spelled Michael Keaton's name wrong.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
They did, they did.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
What the hell are they doing?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Hock.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Did you not spell checked? Who did this? The pirates
ad what job?

Speaker 6 (12:50):
Okay, his name on the star is correct, but the
paragraph underneath his first name is spelled as mic h
E A L with A and the e switched.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
So we did good. They're real good guys.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
We gave him a batmansion bad first start on that one.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
We let the person who made this nailed it.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
This is why you got fired from the cemetery.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
They don't have auto correct at the plaque factory.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
How do you not I don't even understand that it's
m A m I c h e A L.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
They spelled it. Damn, that's right. Yeah, okay, yeah, so
they got to dig that up.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Well, the executive director said, quote, I'm so sorry that
this happened.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
He was so gracious when he was here.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
He was so expressive about his love for Pittsburgh and
the people here. I can only hope he shows some
grace and forgive me for this faux pas, which they
spelled correctly.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Please don't do that to me, dude.

Speaker 8 (13:58):
If they spelled it O P A W Wow, he
didn't catch it, obviously, Well he did and just didn't
say anything.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Good.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Grace is not to say anything, but nothing would. I
guarantee you this has not upset him in the least bit.
He thinks it's absolutely hilarious.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Oh yeah, I mean it is Pittsburgh. Still it does
it does? We spelled McCutcheon wrong.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
We really did, well, we.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Didn't.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
The funniest thing he could do is like share that
post and say thank you Pittsburgh and leave the hr.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
God do better. Walk of Fame.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Come on, unless it's a feature of it and they
just misspell everybody's name. No, maybe it's Nell period e period.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Who forgot the e? Come on, guys, it's a fun game.
We wanted people to play. Find the misspelled word. Hey adventure?
Oh my lord, spell check in the future. Let's go people, Yeah,
come on, you.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
Want to keep it Pittsburgh. Let's keep it Pittsburgh. Because
National Geographics Global Community of Explorers, photographers and editors handpicked
this year's list of twenty five diverse destinations to spark
adventure friends. They only picked twenty five, and they put
Pittsburgh on the list.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, to spark at.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Them, Jack, Oh yeah, there's so many adventures here.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well, if you ever walk downtown oh yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Mean walk down Liberty Avenue.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
You ever see human poop? Yeah? Thanks, Get on you guys,
don't start with that.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Okay, post industrial city with a thriving cultural scene and
ahead of steam. The website went into further detail, saying
steel mills once shaped outsiders whole impressions of Pittsburgh, but
today the city increase defines itself by embracing the venerable
cultural institutions that industrial prosperity helped build.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Okay, I agree with that. And here's what I say.
Here's the good thing that Pittsburgh has gone for it.
Pittsburgh has always been on the cusp as one of
those cities that other hipster towns cause play as and
then they get bigger and we're always in the cool part,
you see.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
What I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
So like Portland, Oregon. Okay, before that when it became
like you know, in the port before the explosion, exactly
like the Portlandia years that was on the cusp. And
then it exploded right Austin in the seventies on the Cusp,
and then in the eighties it really started to get
big in nineties, even bigger now it's insane, right, So

(16:49):
those places had that local identity without people coming in droves,
without billionaires, kids who just want to causeplay as blue
collar people coming in Pittsburgh being too transient. Pittsburgh has
stayed in that sweet spot of no, the beers are
still three bucks. You can belong to the you know,
the German Club, you can belong to the Elks, yea,

(17:11):
you can. You can really actually live the life that
I think a lot of the hipsters like to cosplay.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
Does that make sense to you? And I think that
that's because we still have our roots, Like it's still
a generational city. Like there's still the neighborhoods and the
ethnic different vibes in each neighborhood, and so you're you're
getting that history kind of passed down to you. Like

(17:41):
my grandparents lived in the house that my grandmother was
born in. It was in my family for over one
hundred years. The family that the men worked down the
hill and hazelwood at the mill, you know, and and
that kind of keep going. And you know, like if

(18:02):
you get a bunch of new people that show up
that don't have any care about the history, that are
just there to kind of put in their business, you
lose your identity.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, if like an influencer and her songwriter boyfriend, who
just spent a year doing van life, decided to move
in next door. Yeah, they would quickly find that the
accoutrement always stay authentic and don't ever you know, they're
not going to get the fancy stuff around it that
they you know, it's not all patio lights and the
finer things in life. You know, sometimes you're just drinking

(18:34):
an iron and you're sitting on the porch.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, that's what it is.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
I think something that's good in this article is it
says Pittsburgh's vibrancy has always been scattered across its neighborhoods,
like Squirrel Hill Strip District among them, rather than centralized.
I think that's kind of what That's a really good
way of illustrating that, like every single neighborhood has its
own vibrancy instead of it being like, oh, you got
to go there or else.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
You won't see it.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
But it also mentions Andy Warhol's Museum's sixty million dollar
expansion brings the Pop district to life, so that's full
of art and color. It mentions all, of course, the
museums that we have access to, Carnegie Museums of art
and natural history, and of course it name checks the
fact that we have the draft coming next year and
we're reading up for that as well, so all of

(19:21):
those things.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
We're always on those lists. It never breaks into another realm.
It's always Pittsburgh stays insulated. And then like people of
show business will come and perform here, and then they
spend a couple of days and they go.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Man, I love that place. I could live there. But
then they never really do, you.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Know, like Mark Marinill come in and be like, I
get it, man, get I get it.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
I could live there.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
It's a cool town, man, And you know, it doesn't
have any of the pretense of any of these other
big cities that are so busy, and it's like, yeah,
but they never do.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
They never do move here.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
And when you're talking about the authenticity of the neighborhoods,
I mean the video of the four ladies hanging out
on the porch on the south side from like mind,
like the 's amaze that.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Jumping truck and don't go out any brothers car coming
down this.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
He's uh anymore.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Okay, this is where we sit right here, right here
on my port.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
We ain't got the red car. But I mean, you
can watch video.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
These are four women and they're all wearing like the
same kind of summer like mum course, And now I
think about it, I'm like those women are probably like
fifty two.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
But like that, that that is what anybody who's grown
up here has grown up around. Like I remember all
of the women in my family, Like when we went
to Kennywood on Italian Day, there were these benches that
were up around the Paratrooper, in between the paratrooper and
the Merry go round, and you used to be able
to just come in general mission, like if you didn't

(20:55):
buy tickets to actually ride the rides, you could just
walk in there. And on Italian Day, that whole bench
would just be those women, yeah, sitting there and they
would be home base. So the kids would like run
off and go on a couple of rides and play
some games and then come back to that hub. And
that's you know, that's how That's how it is at Kennywood,
That's how it is up on the mount. That's how

(21:17):
it is when you're in Bloomfield, Like in those neighborhoods,
you couldn't really go into those neighborhoods unless you knew
somebody from those neighborhoods. Like when I was growing up,
you couldn't just walk down the avenue in Bloomfield if
you didn't have a couple of dudes that you knew
from Bloomfield. It was kind of dangerous.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, you get sussed out. What's your business?

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Samon Greenfield? Like, you can't just walk down Greenfield Avenue
without knowing a couple of goons.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
It's like the insert version of the troll at the bridge. Seriously,
dude rolls up? Yeah, a what is your speed of
an African wall? To answer these three questions? Who the
ball hit before Franco came?

Speaker 5 (22:02):
And and my my grandmother like McGee field, it's you know,
it has those the concrete bleachers, there's it says a
fine residential community. There was a group of those kinds
of women that would sit on the top row and
they would have food and sandwiches and drinks for all
the players. And they would just go Saturdays and Sundays

(22:23):
and watch all the kids play their sports. And they
called all those women up there the top row routers.
And they had like, you know, a parade forum down
the Avenue and it's just you know, it's like the
community stuff.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Man, I love it well. I think Barry sums it
up best.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Pittsburgh is the best place to live.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I don't care where anybody says. If you got to
do some clean up, pay It is what it is.
But we're still number one out here.

Speaker 9 (22:48):
I'm driving my semi across Raindio, Ohio, heading back to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
No matter how you listen.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
From Connecticut TV, we're streaming and all your smart device
is one oh two point DV.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Hey, it's Randy from the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
You know, it's more important than ever before to connect
with people in real Two.

Speaker 10 (23:09):
Things about reviews of the Springsteen movie Abby, Yes, sir,
look at the cover of the Wild the Innoctent in
the East Street Shuffle.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
He's brooding, okay.

Speaker 10 (23:23):
He was happy on stage because he loved to play.
And this movie, if I'm surmising correctly, is about the
Nebraska album, which he had to fight tooth and nail
even get recorded because nobody liked it.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh, he's miserable and that's a good point.

Speaker 10 (23:41):
And he also had a lawsuit against his label. He
had to go to the Supreme Court for years and
couldn't ye records. It was a tough time for him.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
You're making a good point that wed It is really wortt.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
But I'm not sure that that is the movie that
everybody wants to see about Brings Team.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
I'm not and that might be why.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah, some of the early rumblings are not great. I'm
not even a big fan of the Nebraska Album's a
couple of tracks I like, But.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Have you heard the Electrified Nebraska yet? No? Thanks, Atlantic
City's the only one you like. There's a couple others,
but not many. Some of them are think are off.
I always thought that album was really really good.

Speaker 10 (24:19):
But and then, uh, Jeremy all White, you guys know
him from the Bear. He was much different character in
Shame Shameless since you guys didn't watch, he had much
more of a sense of humor in that one.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Now, he was not the star of Shameless.

Speaker 10 (24:31):
That was Bill Mason. Yeah, so he was playing off
of him. But I'm gonna give it a chance.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
You know his you know the Boss's career better than anyone.
What like, if you were going to make the movie,
what time period would you make it? Oh, when he's
just getting going in Jersey.

Speaker 10 (24:47):
I'll tell you it would either be that or when
he got the band back together and they started doing these.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Monster tours again after his solo records.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yeah, although Born in the USA might be an interesting
one because that was the big explosion. Even though he's
on the cover of Newsweek with Born to Run after that,
following it up with Born in the USA, a wildly,
wildly misunderstood record, he was.

Speaker 10 (25:13):
On the cover at time in Newsweek the same week
a year later, he was still playing Saint Vincent College. Wow,
Like that didn't vault him to now I know they
they said, just this guy is going to be a start.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
That is that the iconic picture of the back of
his jeans with the American flag bandana coming out of it.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
That's Born in the US.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Okay, the cover, Uh, They're Born to Run cover him
in Clarence. They're like laughing.

Speaker 10 (25:40):
Yeah, that's like that's their joy they had making music together.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Now, what I think they should do is have him
and Clarence solve mysteries.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
No, if they did that, they could do a series
of movies rock and roll mysteries.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
That they Yeah, someone stole Joni Mitchell's guitar. Yeahs Johnny
got kidnapped. I don't know, that's a great question. What
time period. I guess it would have.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
To be the beginning, Yeah, at the beginning, and you know,
leading up probably two time news.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
We could just stop it there. The clubs at that time.
See that's the stuff that fascinates me.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
You know, like even before he started to blow up
with the first record, which is wild in the innocent, right, isn't.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
That the first one?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
The first okay?

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, yeah, when he was like so starting out that
he backed up Chuck Berry for one of those Chuck
Berry gigs. Do you know about that, Chuck Berry? When
you hired Chuck Berry. Chuck Berry flew into your town
and you had to have the band, and he walked
on stage. You had to have a briefcase of money
for him because he always he got he jilted, well,

(26:47):
he got jilted by so many promoters that his you know,
the stance was you had to have the money. He
would walk on stage like carrying a briefcase full of
money and then pick up the guitar and go one, two, three,
and then you the backup band had to know it.
And Springsteen did that. He was in one of those
backup bands WHI chatter array that Yeah, and I don't

(27:08):
know who else from the East Street Steven World was Stephen.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Wasn't that because wasn't that all of his influence, like
working with those guys.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
The soul guys. I mean, he definitely loves that stuff.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I don't know if he was in that particular band,
but that era also little Steven Like to not have
him in this movie, you know, I don't know, that
feels weird to me. If it's all about Nebraska, He's
not really going to be in it, right, No, Yeah,
just a different because I just want to see somebody
play Stevie van Zan again.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
The other thing, particularly his uh you got to do
what you got to do.

Speaker 10 (27:43):
With early recording sessions. I mean, like his first fifteen
years or so. They called him the Boss because he
was such a task master and they were marathon set like.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
People hated it.

Speaker 10 (27:55):
They hated being in that band until the final product
came out and then it was great. They had fun
playing it and they all became successful, but it was
grueling work because it was such such a perfectionist, so
was James Brown.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Everyone hated being in that band, so it was Frank Zappa.
Everyone hated being in that band.

Speaker 10 (28:12):
But the end result they're like partying his stuff and
playing gigs and all that, but the actual work was work.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
The Beatles hated it.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Paul McCartney made the other three work and they were like,
this guy sucks.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's like the Beatles is weird.

Speaker 10 (28:34):
But I think I think what they're probably shooting for
is the uh courageous performer standing on his merits against
doubt and uh overcoming the odds to get it done.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
All that crap, all that crap context, Yeah, segment, that's
all right. Hey, look that this is rock and roll
like a sweet spot in the entertainment industry right now,
where you haven't lost touch with all of these pillars

(29:10):
of the rock and roll world and we're starting to
put out the movies about them and pretty soon all this.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Stuff goes away. You know, you got to appreciate it
all while you still have it.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Because I don't know who ever thought the Rolling Stones
would be putting out a record in their eighties.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
They're putting out a record right now.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Who thought Bruce Springsteen would have just done the tour
that he just did at his age?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Howl?

Speaker 5 (29:35):
Is he right?

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Now seventy five. Yeah, Oh, he's killing it.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
He's doing two and a half hour show still, right.
Who would have thought the who would have just retired
from the stage in twoenty twenty five. I mean it's
all going away, man, This is yes, I mean, this
is it.

Speaker 10 (29:53):
With a couple exceptions mixed in my recent concerts are
The Boss, The Stones, Joel, Yeah, exactly what about school?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Bob Dylan is still playing shows right now, Like this
is not going to be around for very much longer.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
You really got to appreciate it.

Okay, Welcome to Tangent Radio v D Morning Show. We
got pulled the wheel there there a little bit. But
with you guys, result talk about the boss, I wanted
you to. When you talked about the Boss, I wanted
you to do.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
So what is the scott about here in the locker room?
Looked like it was a lot of smiles coming from
the quarterback yesterday.

Speaker 10 (35:32):
Fascinating stuff from Aaron Rodgers yesterday. He has been sports
a s U brought to you by Bridgetal Applients. Rodgers
has been really good behind the mic. He's interviewed well
since he got here. He was really good yesterday. I'm
sure he knew what was coming. And he senses the
drama associated with Aaron Rodgers getting his first shot playing
his old team, the Green Bay Packers. Packers are coming

(35:53):
to Pittsburgh and Rogers will be here to greet them
and compete against them, but nothing more, he maintained yesterday.
If he plays well, he won't earn a petty game ball.
And this situation, Rogers insisted, is nothing like the one
experienced by then Minnesota Viking Brett Favre against Green Bay
back in the day.

Speaker 18 (36:13):
Well, Brett got traded and then he went to one
of the hated rivals. You know, I was in New
Jersey for a couple of years. I don't have any
animosity toward the organization. Obviously, I wish, you know, things
have been better in our last year there, but.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
You know, I have a great relationship with.

Speaker 18 (36:31):
A lot of people still in that organization, and I
don't This is not a revenge game for me. I'm
just excited to see some of those guys and be
on Sunday Night football again.

Speaker 9 (36:42):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I think he wants to stick it up their cheese hoole.

Speaker 10 (36:46):
I did all week and you're just starting to win
me over yesterday.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
You're buying into it. You you're buying his polls. You
to sleep.

Speaker 5 (36:54):
He is the same thing the Jets week, and then
he went out and dropped four tds on him.

Speaker 10 (36:58):
Maybe you'll see some familiar faces, to be sure, but
a lot of the most familiar won't be playing for
the Packers.

Speaker 18 (37:06):
The guys I talked to and I was looking at
my phone, I got a text from the photographer Evan.
I love the nutrition is Adam hit me up yesterday.
My longtime buddy Nate, one of the trainers, hit me
up Monday so those are I mean I was with
those guys for the majority of the eighteen years. You know,

(37:27):
with Evan for about twelve to fifteen, and Adam for
about the same and Nate for eighteen and s the
equipment guys for a long time for Lee, you know,
Brian the head trainer for all eighteen.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
So a lot of great relationships.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
I think it's easy to sort of contextualize what happened
in Green Bay as after he's been removed for it
from it for a couple of years. The sour end
of that run doesn't stick out like the sore thumb
it was at the time.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Spot on.

Speaker 10 (37:57):
Yeah, yeah, we'll get to that at some point. Today
he acknowledged that. And also it's built pointed it's not
calling back to Lambeau. He's just playing another home game.
From his perspective, having played for the Packers and getting
to play currently with the Steelers are both experiences that
are worth embracing.

Speaker 18 (38:17):
Yeah, I mean, there's there's only a few of those
kind of cornerstone franchise in the league, and Packers obviously
been around for over a hundred years and Steelers been
around for a long time. We've got a great history.
It's a great sports town. We were at the hockey
game last night, so Sid score a goal and you know,
Sid let Tang and Gino opening on the team I

(38:38):
think twenty one years, which is amazing. I'm in my
twenty first season, so I know I already isn't stick
around as long as those guys have.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
So something special about the connection. You know, I'm in the.

Speaker 18 (38:50):
In the suite with Mario's you know, bodyguard Jay up there,
had a great conversation with him.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
I'm you know, Keiso's in there as well. I played
against Keeso.

Speaker 18 (38:59):
That's one of the things that Keith and I would
talk about last night.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Now, in Green Bay and.

Speaker 18 (39:03):
In Pittsburgh, there's iconic players and they come back around
and they live in the city and they call Pittsburgh
home full time, and there's something special about that. Always
said there's something in the water when you look at
the great quarterbacks that come from the area. But it's
fun to be a part of this organization and the
iconic Packers organization for so long too.

Speaker 10 (39:25):
Yeah, it's an interesting perspective. You know, Green Bay and
Pittsburgh story franchises, Philly and the New York Football Giants
are storied franchises, but Philly Giants and Green Bay Pittsburgh
are not the same thing.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Nope, did you start? No, And.

Speaker 10 (39:44):
I thought Aaron Rodgers handed himself remarkably well yesterday and
this has to be a little goofy for him.

Speaker 5 (39:50):
Oh, this is He's in the most unique position that
maybe anybody that's ever played has been in, especially with
these two teams, which which iconic player can and you
think of that's ever done.

Speaker 10 (40:02):
That after after as long as he was in Green
Bay to get kicked to the curb to wait, and
now they're coming.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
It's like.

Speaker 10 (40:10):
You were the original trophy wife and then you got
booted and now your ex husband is coming with his
new trophy wife to your house.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Yeah right, Hi, remember us. I do think he's doing
some gamesmanship here.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
I'm not saying that everything he said wasn't authentic, but
he is not giving them any bulletin board material.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
No.

Speaker 10 (40:33):
I agree with you on both counts, but that's what
a pro does, right. Yeah, he's not ducking it. He's
given us U.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Also through some grists to the insor mill with the tang.
I was talking to God, he was, yeah, talking to Jay,
you know Jay.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Wow, I didn't know he was talking about it first,
and I was thinking, oh my god, yeah, Coffield.

Speaker 10 (41:05):
Calvin Austin was a full participant in practice that he's
just waiting for the call from Mike Tomlin. Zach Frazier
limited with a calf, probably just maintenance. A bunch of
guys limited for the Packers, but the guy to really
keep an eye on. Christian Watson is still on ir
trying to work his way back. He's been practicing since October.
The sixth wide receiver, down the field, deep ball, big

(41:27):
wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
He's really good.

Speaker 10 (41:29):
Steelers will probably prefer in the Sean Payton line of
thinking that he not returned until.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
After thee Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Boy, that took another turn again yesterday. I don't know
if we'll get to our mistackle segment today, but there's
so much guess. You have to be a huge jackass
if you break Russell Wilson. Seriously, he got Russell Wilson
to trash talk.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yeah I did. That's incredible.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Yeah, that's I mean, actually you should brag about that.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
I'm such a jerk.

Speaker 10 (42:00):
Russell Wilson has trash talk from Russ too.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Wow. Weird time. I yes, today, good handlers.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
I think he hired like jessel Neck or somebody to write, Yeah,
Adam's got your knews next.

Speaker 6 (42:10):
So the Ravens lost all their ping pong and cornhole
privileges in the locker room because they suck.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Or did that? Or or or did they? Or did they?

Speaker 17 (42:21):
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 5 (42:34):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 19 (42:35):
The Steelers held their first official practice of the week
yesterday on the South Side and the team had some
encouraging developments on the injury front. Wide receiver Calvin Austin
and the third has been sidelined since suffering a shoulder
injury against the Vikings in Dublin back in Week four.
In his absence, Steelers wide receivers not named DK Metcalf
received only four targets combined over two games, so Austin's
return to the passing game is sorely needed, and that

(42:56):
return does appear to be imminent, as Austin not only
returned to the practice field yesterday when He was a
full participant and said to the media afterward that he
felt good. Elsewhere on the injury side of things, inside
linebacker Malik Harrison was a full participant for the first
time since going on IR early in the season. Harrison
was a free agent acquisition by the Steelers in the
offseason and suffered a knee injury during the season opener
against the New York Jets that sent him to IR.

(43:18):
Harrison's twenty one day window to return from IR started
last week with him being a fool go yesterday. It's
safe to say he will probably be back this Sunday
against the Packers.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
The Steelers will.

Speaker 19 (43:27):
Practice again today on the South Side as they continued
to prepare for their Sunday night showdown against Green Bay.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report. You see the skyline,
you drive over the bridges. We built that Ironworkers Local
Union number three. This isn't just a job, it's a legacy,
