E.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Pittsburgh. Do you know many variations of her album there were?
If you're trying to make money, how do you make
money on fans after they buy the record? Will you
give them different kinds of records to buy versions of
the same record? Right? She had like Taylor's version. I
think she had thirty one Verrietyls. It was an article last.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Week about a fan that was going through how he
described essentially it was a privilege to own every variation
that she would put out because he felt like it.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Made him a part of history.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, but he was talking about spending like eight thousand
dollars on every version of Life of.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
A Show Girl.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
He's a plant. That guy's a plant.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Also, I said varietyl like it was wine, which is hilarious.
But what if one of the records, Like, what if
one of the records is all songs about different body
parts of his like it's is that an ear? Randy
(01:05):
Bellman and the DV Morgan the entire song of her going.
So we were just talking off the air. This is
very interesting that the University of Oregon this weekend has
a uniform tie in and a whole theme for their
game that Nike has basically steered them toward here because
(01:28):
you know that's where Nike is and Phil Knight and
those guys basically are big underwriters of the program up there.
But it's a Grateful Dead weekend with Oregon, and their
uniforms have dancing bears on the back of the of
their helmet, the numbers are tie died on the jersey.
They have the steal your Face Grateful Dead logo has
(01:50):
a duck bill on the bottom of it instead of
like the bottom of the wrell And they created all
of these videos that look EXAs and it's not hard
to do because it's like the weather, it's the same
in organ all the time. They look like the videos
from the Sunshine Daydream documentary from the famous nineteen seventy
two show at Vinita, Oregon. And they've interspersed all these
(02:14):
kids on campus wearing all of this Grateful Ducks merch
with the original footage from nineteen seventy two, and it
looks like it's all part of the same thing.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Is the band involved in this very much?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (02:30):
So because I would I would say they would have
to sign off on all this totally.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
And the.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Amount of merch that they're going to sell. The other
thing is that steal your face that I was talking
about with the duck bill. Instead of the bottom of
the skull has instead of a lightning bolt through it,
it's a lightning Nike logo. All right. Now, this is
something I should absolutely hate. I should really hate this
just because it's so over the top of commercial. But
(02:59):
I don't like it. I don't know why, but I do.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
But that's the thing I don't understand, because the money
grubbing whars. Why wasn't their model always to not care
about money?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And then Jerry died and then and then it became
we have to pay a bunch of people, and they
didn't know how to do it and keep it going,
and they were struggling. And then all of a sudden,
irving azof said, let me be your manager and let's
capitalize on all this. And that's why they lost a
huge portion of their fan base when the whole John
(03:36):
Mayer thing happened, because it was seen by a lot
of people as a total money ground, like the antithesis
of what they thought the dead stood for, and a
sort of direction to Jerry would have never let them
go in In another circumstance, like if Bob Weird died,
he would not be like, oh yeah, let's go out,
(03:57):
let's let John Mayer play Bob's parts. He would probably
be like, no, the Dead is done. There is no
Grateful Dead.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Now, we could still keep going with Bruno Mars. Let's
do Bruno Mars and John Mayer.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
That actually, I mean, that's what's going to happen now,
because John Mayer and Irving Azof have turned this into
something that is going to live on ad infinitum with
just different members and it'll always be a continuation of
what it was. So Otel Berberge will be on bass,
Jeff Comeni will be on keys, and Jay Lane will
play drums. But if Bobby can't do it anymore, John
(04:30):
Mayer takes it out, and then someone takes Bobby's place,
and it'll probably somebody of note like Stergel Simpson, and
then they go out and just play Grateful Dead songs
and the whole Dead on Taraski's following them around. This
is like a new idea for a business model that
maybe bon Jovi should have considered. Ooh, that maybe he
can't sing the songs anymore, but people want to hear
(04:51):
those songs, you could you know, keep that going forever.
He just can't do it.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That's been one of the things the Kiss has always
talked about is it doesn't have to be those guys
in the makeup.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And they're going to do it. I guarantee you that's
the easiest one to do totally.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
I mean, it's already at a lower you know, Blood
Sweat and Tears played Jurgles a couple of months ago.
No one from Blood Sweat and Tears was in it,
but it had the name and they played the songs.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Zz Top could do it. Just get a beer, a
really long beer.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's really all you need, I mean, in a top hat,
because a lot of times you'd be like I saw
a z Eazy Top and then you could somebody did.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
You or did you see my friend Rusty from Belvernon.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That used to happen, by the way back in the
day before modern media, in the early days of rock
and roll, there would be a hit song and it
would be attributed to whatever band, and it was very
easy for Charlatan's to say we're that band and then
book themselves around like parts of the South and parts
(05:56):
of the Southwest that might not have been so up
on like what the Kingsmen looked like. And then they're like, no,
we're the band that sings Louie Louie, and they're like,
holy cow, we definitely want you. And then they would
book them and it would be a bunch of people
who were not the Kingsman.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Oh, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I saw the Buzzcocks last month and everybody was like,
oh my god, you saw the Buzzcocks.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I'm like, I saw one guy.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
A single bock was singular, right.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
It was weird looking. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But nobody's doing on the level that they are. And
this tie in, which again it has so much of
a like money grubbing feel to it. I should hate it,
but I don't love it.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Oregon is the one to do it. They're the alternate
jersey Kings.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yes, and Nike.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
That's is Is this the first leak in the damn
because alternate jerseys and merchant gear are such big business
that in ten years, it's not Star Wars night at
the ballpark.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It's the Pirates are dressed up like Storm.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yeah, well there, I mean I think you could definitely
see that. Yes, like inspired jerseys, alternate jerseys, of.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Course, yes, Well, the Steelers are wearing alternate jerseys on
Sunday night. We talked about that a little bit yesterday,
and the Packers have had to respond by wearing all
white because they can't both have yellow helmets on Sunday night.
So the result of this is we're gonna be looking
at two teams that won't resemble at all what we're
used to seeing on the field, and it is robbing
(07:30):
us of a classic matchup. If they were going to
go throw back, I wish it would have been block
numbers from the eighties or something like that, you know
what I mean, something that was a little more representative
of what we've come to know, not like how many
people you think will be at the game this weekend
that recognize those Steelers jerseys. I remember when they wore
(07:50):
these in nineteen thirty three. Yeah, nobody's alive, right, And
the Packers, as far as I know, they just had
to invent this jersey. I don't think it.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Exists or wore alternate like whites.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Yeah, the Packers are wearing white, all white, white helmet, white,
home team color white.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
What No, that's a weight team white is always a weight.
Dark colors going to confuse people.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
It's making me irrationally angry.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
And now I get their throwbacks they're not wearing. I
mean it would be cool if it was a throwback game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Because they could wear their blues and the they have
cocy pants too, Yeah, and like a navy color with
them with a circle they've got and pants?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Has anybody seen my cocky pans?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
What if they're just selling those outside? Like the why
is nobody buying these? Just a bad merch idea pants?
Anybody comp through.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Your first No problem, it's a buy one, get one.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Pan waisting CaCu pants. They wickedip.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You know that Mykels is performing at halftime, right, you.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Gotta be wearing khaki, dude, khaki. Don't look that up on.
But my brown pants they're bad. It is a bad beauty.
I I I like it. I like the jersey.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
I think the pants make it, you know, unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But isn't there I agree with you on that if
you had black pants it would.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Be better black pants again, all's forgiven. Black pants?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Fine?
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Whoa black pants? Pampa damn black pants going wold Papa dam.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Settled down cock and pants. All Right, we're supposed to
be joined by Alex Heismith here shortly, uh and loves
to talk to him about But I'm definitely gonna ask
me about the jersey pants cocka pants, Uh.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Question, cock pants?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yay or nay? On the kecka pans, mister cock pants.
Good morning, khaki pants.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
But if it's Sunday night, Coca pants.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The thing. If I was gonna buy something, it would
be kaki pants. But I'm wondering now when you're talking
about the tie in and star wars and stuff like that,
as we have, like look at the size of those
patches that were on the MLB player's arms during the
Championship Series.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I mean, just look at what the Steelers did. They've
already done it. Or the Pirates with the sheets, Yeah,
the sheets patch, Like it's it's just a patch now,
but it's gonna be a whole theme.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Shortly, we're basically becoming everything is becoming NASCAR, where you're
just labeled head to toe in sponsorships. But it won't
be for a lot of gambling sites. I can tell
you that not for some time. I think this past
week has set things back quite a bit in that regard.
It was interesting to watch that ESPN video of Mike
Greenberg and everybody at the roundtable talking about the gambling
(10:51):
scandal that happened, and underneath they had a gambling sponsor
on the screen and it just disappeared. It just disappeared.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Yeah, just like whoever was working the graphics is like,
get rid.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Of it, sixty nine, Get sixty sixty. I didn't know
that was part of this candal. I'm getting.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Don't put your family.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That is not a gambling site. Oh no, that gambling
cit has a life.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Cam Alex Smith has been backed up tonight fifteen, and
I'm sure it has nothing to do with this conversations.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Mister pants is unavailable.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So mister caupins, do you plan to stop the run
in those Coca pants? Oh?
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Man, to have the runs in the CaCu pans?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
No that stop the runs?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Oh no, you can't have runs in pins.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Sean. We didn't get to finish your review. What is
regretting you?
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Regretting you as a tear jerker, which is the last
common text in which you're allowed to say jerker.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
So smile jerkers.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
I mean there might be, but I don't even know
what I'm alluding to, based on a big time romance
novel Alison Williams Dave Franco, A date movie. It's fine.
Go see the date movie if you'd like to. I
did notice I learned something about movies. If a character
picks up the telephone and says hello, yes, this is she.
(12:24):
That character's spouse just died in a horrible accident.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Those are the.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Only contexts in which anyone says hello, yes, this is he.
That's the hot cut to crying in the hospital hallway.
Nothing wrong with the Colleen Hoover book. Nothing wrong with it.
If you want to go on a date, but all
the horror movies are in the theaters.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
What's your retropic?
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Go to row House for Halloween, Evil Dead, Suspiria, IT,
and hocus Pocus, Brownsville drive in for Nightmare on Elm
Street one through four or Dependable drive in for Halloween
one and two back to back. Do not dress up
like Michael Myers and jump in front of people's cars.
It's tempting. We've all thought about it. But you don't
want to spend the holidays dead.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Just watch the movie. It's fine, all right, Abby? Do
you have something for us because Alex Heigsmith is going
to be backed up till nine to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Okay, sounds good news.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
This hour brought to you by Window Nation Times of
clouds and sun. Today it's gonna be higher fifty two
Saturday clouds with a high of fifty four and then
Steelers Sunday high of fifty six. If you're going to
the game, it'll be about forty one degrees around kickoff.
Foo fighters are heading back out on the road next
summer for a stadium tour. The North American Tour is
going to bring along Queens of the Stone Age. It's
(13:34):
also going to breathe the band's first stadium run with
their new drummer, Illan Rubin. It's going to kick off
August fourth in Toronto. It'll wrap up September twenty sixth
in Las Vegas. So I was looking at the dates
for this. Closest ones for US. There's a Detroit date
on August the sixth, There's Cleveland on August the eighth.
(14:00):
You could also do DC on the seventeenth of August.
Those are probably the most drivable ones. Do you want
to stretch it a little more, Maybe Chicago on August
the eighth, you could go to Philadelphia on the thirteenth.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
So those are again the.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
All August dates food fighters dot com if you want
to check them out, And again, tickets go on sale
to the general public on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Be guess people have finally forgot that he cheated on
his wife and impregnated someone out of wedlock.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Seems like that has happened.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Let's get back to the fun.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, hey guys, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Her girls, it's the It's me and mister Kirker. Oh no,
I'm an old Daddy tour.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Ooopsie poopsie.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, but with Josh Hammi and Queen's on stage, you
got to be thinking that there's multiple sittings possible here.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Right, it was almost the Divorced Dad's Tour, but now
it's uh, now it's not. So I'm super excited. The
Queen's of the Stone Ages Back on the.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Road Just for the Deaf is my favorite of the
Queen's records, and that's lead large parts to girls drumming
on that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
The two of them together is amazing, so.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Not so musical with Hommy that I just it's a
little bit of a shame that they don't do more together.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
One to your point.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Songs for the Deaf is an iconic Queens of the
Stone Age record, largely in parts of Dave's drumming and
a lot of background vocals, and I'm sure a lot
of musical influence that he kind of brings out in
Josh Hommy.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
But also they did them.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Crooked Vultures, which was a one album only.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
The John Paul Jones record. Yes, yeah, I love the.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Three piece band of Dave Girl, Josh Hommy, and John
Paul Jones of led Zeppelin because you know, when you
get the opportunity to play with him, you just do.
But Josh Hommy has said the reason why they haven't
done another record is just because Dave Grohl leads that
project impregnating people out of and he keeps impregnating people
and there's just not enough time.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Sure, well, hey, don't smirch out of wedlock? Why not
the problem?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (16:05):
A lock clarific clear, Yeah, is fun. It is one
has to be locked situation. Got a s lay away,
Yeah exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
No I phrased that. Yes, yeah, philanderous fathering.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
That's the other f F. I get it.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I see.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
There's the food Fighters and then the differently but it works. Okay,
uh quickly here.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
A survey of two thousand adults revealed that thirty four
percent of adults think that they could survive a horror
slasher film and defeat the villain. Are you in the thirty.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
One Big One?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Well, Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street? Could you
defeat him?
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Because it's mental. No, Now he's.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
In my dreams. He's figured out what you're most scared of,
and then that's what he makes himself.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yeah, he gets he gets me.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
Turn the tables. Act like you're into it. You're rocking.
You're rocking that sweater. Dream Daddy come over here like
you're into it.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I like you. I like you.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Steps on fire, don't tease me. You know what is
crazy is if you go back and watch Nightmare on
Elm Street, it is basically the horror movie version of
Hume Alum because at the end of that movie, she's
booby trapping her house to try to kill Freddy.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oh, that's that's kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's the Wet dream bandit.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Could you survive Hannibal Lecter?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Uh? I kind of feel like I could kick his ass,
But but what he does is he like gets you
when you're not you know what I mean. He drugs
you and you don't know, and you're like the greeny
is delicious eat on brain. Yeah, okay, I got it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, if he worked at dish, we also he compliments
you a lot, and that that's how you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
But I could outrun him. I feel like I could
beat him up, you know.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Although the knock him down the stairs Edward Norton got
past him, but it was one year after Fight Club,
so he had been in training.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well, And I was gonna say, didn't Brian Cox play
the first version of Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
I don't know anything at William Peterson the early like
the mid eighties. Uh And and they thought it was
such a bomb that Dino de Laurentis gave the rights
away for free, like no one I'll ever make money
off of this.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And then they made Silence in the Lamps.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I don't know about it.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I didn't know, and it's not it's a good movie.
But did you know right now at the Soldiers and
Sailors haul in Oakland and they have re erected the.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Cage, right Kato just maybe did a did a little
segment on that.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well it's KGO today. Yeah, I love that. That's tonight
by the really cool. Oh yeah, no, it's very cool.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
I never lost show in there. I never worked until
and Springsteen played there. Yeah, and it's so much to
see there.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Was that your best experience because you were you were
like right up front.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Weren't Springsteen? Yeah? Didn't you meet him? No? You did
a shot at his to meet him. I went out
and I went on to meet him. I introduced Johnny
Ghaky's band one night. Oh and he got mad at
you from when.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
You guys were talking about this yesterday. Yeah, I wore
shorts and a like a cowboys shirt, and Joe said.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It ain't very rock and roll.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
Like, well, I'm not a rock and roll guy, said.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Your kid. I've introduced your kid. I just went and
grabbed some old nineteen nineteen soldier's uniform. Put that. But no,
that's a little hidden treasure of Pittsburgh. It truly is.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
How about Michael Myers, Yes, I.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Mean, which we can't outrun Michael Myers. You've got a problem.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
He's the slow one, Yes, all right, Jason Deliver is
not slow. Michael Myers is the one that's like he
has bad hips and depending on which movie you're in,
Jason can teleport. Jason just blinks across. That's tough to
beat a lot of these times, the answer is leave town.
You might want to save your friend. Pick your most
important friend in there. Yeah, put them in the passenger seat. Drive.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Now, in one of the Friday the Thirteenth movies, Jason
jumps on somebody like Troy jumping over the offensive line.
It's the anticipation is incredible.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Times of clouds and sun. Today it's a high of
fifty two.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Demonic Troy Polamalu would be a good horror movie.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, yeah, he knows what you're gonna do before you
even do it. Yeah, you're like, well, there's no way
he could get me from all the way over there.
He turned around against there.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Was there was a Demonic Troy Polamalu movie, but it is.
It's from the seventies and it was it was an
actual it's famous now. Karen Black starred in this. It
was part of a four vignette horror movie that was
I haven't said. I want to say it's Trilogy of Tears,
a trilogy of terror. So three and four and her
(21:25):
vignette was she opens a box like a presence she
got sent and it's a miniature like looks like, you know,
Troy Polamalu, but it's like a teaki from Polynesia that
is like demonic somehow, but she doesn't know. And so
she's like in her apartment and all of a sudden
thing you hear, like and the things flying around the
(21:49):
house and then it grabs a knife and it's like
little tiny Troy and it's like killing her. I'm not kidding. Look,
he's got the.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I mean, does he have a release how?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
No, No, he doesn't not know Scarier. Yeah, it's not
Troy though, Yeah, but it's supposed to be. It's like, yeah,
some sort of it's like the Tiki idol from Brady
Bunch combined with all kinds of.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Other It's looked like dehydrated and shrunk Troy and gave
him a piranha mouth and put a knife in it.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And that's terrified.
Speaker 11 (22:21):
And a bottle of head and shoulders, yes, things just
running around on the floor and she's just screaming.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
She can't get away from the tiny doll the whole time.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
With great hair, yes, admiring his hair as she runs
for her life.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
He's still doing those commercials.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Yeah, oh yeah, put I think that they're I think
that they're old. Like he shot a bunch of those,
you know what I mean, Like, I don't know they're
like if they're still coming out.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's like Prince and Paisley Park.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
I'm putting away thirty Head and Shoulders commercials for the future.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
He's got four Head and Shoulders albums that he hasn't released.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It like when comedians put their head shot up from
thirty years ago. See, we're gonna go see this guy
this weekend. He was great, and then you see him
in person, you're like, what happened to him? Oh my god.
I feel like comics do that more than actors or
anybody else. Like actors, you have to continually update your headshot,
but comics you go see somebody and it'll be someone
(23:18):
who's been around for twenty years, and invariably the headshot
is from twenty years ago. To be very common in
newspaper mug shots. Oh really, yeah, because.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You get it done once and then you never want
to do it again. Yeah, it's not necessarily intentional. On
the comics, these have these.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Things called newspapers tell us about it.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
And if you wrote an opinion piece, you have your
picture next to it. That's how people were supposed to
know it was an opinion piece. Yeah, now everything's an
opinion piece and it's ill informed.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Alex Hismith will be on at nine to fifteen today,
Dreamed the Heavy in the Coffee House and Michael have
a full sports report for you when we come back.
Getting ready for Steelers Packers on Sunday night. This is
a big one. Aaron Rodgers met with the Green Bay
media yesterday and made really nice once again. He's laying
it on thick like he's melted the big uzzy nacho
(24:08):
cheese just.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
All over the media yesterday. See I can't get past
the two MVP thing when he slid that in. Oh yeah,
that was nice to me. That was f you guys.
We talked about that a little bit with Meryl last night.
On the previous show, Meryl said he thought he was
trying to be funny. Meryl thinks the he's a a
magnanimous approach to this is legit and genuine and he
(24:35):
really doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
He just wants to win the game. I think he's
made it clear that he wants to have a future
when he's done playing where he is remembered fondly as
a packer, and he is trying to clean up the
mess of the last couple of years in Green Bay.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Because when he's when he hangs it up, he's going home.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
But I think it's his right to do that. Like
I think it's right to do whatever he wants. But
I think blame me. They'll welcome him, man, Yes, exactly,
will they? Oh yeah, read them out right?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah? But yeah, but that's we ran Chuck Nolot. We ran,
I mean almost ran Cower out, you know, Terry Bradshaw,
I mean, but not. I mean we ran hines Ward out?
Did people not like hines Ward here?
Speaker 11 (25:21):
It was old and washed again? They know what I'm saying. Yea,
they thought Aaron was old washt Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yes, they thought they were like enough with you in
the drama and you're not getting it done. Okay, you
didn't win three m vps in a row, f off.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
I think it would be stupid from an organization standpoint
to not welcome him back, right like he you don't,
I mean, he's in the pantheon there Yeah, but he's not.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
Going anywhere back because he said he's just going to
go be in the shadows and we won't see him.
It'll just go to Melbourne talk to Dolphins. He's going
to be doing the NFL. He'll be doing that the
big the big black blanket.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, you pulled up again, or watching on the beach, Yeah,
just sitting there next to week the boy.
Speaker 11 (26:03):
I remember that game when I stuck it right up
to Peckers.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I hope he does it this Sunday night, Aaron faces
his former teammates, the Green Bay Packers. This is a
lafleur Aaron Rodgers revenge game. I don't care what anybody says.
I concur and you played the greatest song in the
world for me only if you can wick it.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Let us know your lunch requests on our socials phone
or the talkback button on the irt radio app. You
picked this songs on the Electric Lunch at noon on
DVE from the Bridgevilts.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Mike Prosuded with your sports right now getting ready for
Steelers Packers Sunday night Here on DVE.
Speaker 11 (26:45):
Sports that I brought to you by Bridgeville clients. No
Zach Fraser practice yesterday for the Steelers. He went from
a limited participant who did not practice, But the quote
from Fraser afterward, I think I'll be fine. He's dealing
with a sore calf and the injury, according to Fraser,
occurred in the second series of the Cincinnati game a
(27:05):
week from Thursday. Played through it. Then, I think this
is just a maintenance deal. We'll see, but I'll take
him at his word because he went to West Virginia.
He wouldn't deceive anyone. He dragged himself off the field
after he broke his leg. Who's the backupsent O Ryan
Ryan mccollumy, who's got three career starts to here. I
(27:26):
think Fraser will play potential complication for green Bay.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
They're down.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
The Packers are two of their best receivers, Christian Watson
and Jaden Reid. Reid is on IR. Watson is trying
to work his way back from IR. He has been
a limited participant both days this week. Also Dontavian Wicks,
who is the number three receiver without Watson or Reed
being available. He has not practiced this week because of
(27:53):
the calf injury. So if Watson can't come off IR
and Wicks can't play, Green Bay is going to be
dipping pretty deep into the wide receiver barrel, getting close
to the bottom. I would imagine in that situation, maybe
they just give it to Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Now, the one thing about Jacobs phenomenal player, touchdown machine,
he was a game time decision last Sunday against Arizona
with the calf injury that he's trying to work through
this week, and he only played thirty one snaps. He
still scored two touchdowns, but he only only played thirty
one snaps. Depending on how quickly he is convalescing, he
(28:34):
may or may not be at full strength.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
And he might pull a hamstring early in this game
running for eighty yards.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Maybe that's the plan. Tire mind defense.
Speaker 11 (28:44):
The issue for the Steelers the run defense. We talked
the last hour about how they're just going to get
the ball shoved at them the next three games to
stop Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor of the Colts, who's leading the
NFL rushing and then they go play the Chargers, who
ran for two hundred and seven yards against Minnesota last night.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Past defense also problem.
Speaker 11 (29:07):
The theory on the south side is when you can't
stop the run that contributes to you, not be being
able to stop the pass either contributes to the defense
not looking too often like the Steelers envisioned it. But
DC teror Austin maintained yesterday, there's still time.
Speaker 13 (29:25):
We all thought we'd be, you know better, But I
understand it's the NFL, and I know these guys are pros,
and I know they'll bounce back because their pedigree tells me,
the way they work, their mindset tells me they're going
to bounce back, and you know, it just has The
nice thing I know for me is it's a long season.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
We've seen these guys.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
They've got a track record of playing well and playing
over the long haul, And to me, it's just a
matter of us, you know, continue to work at it
and eventually that they'll get into their groove and they'll
start playing the type of football overall that we want
more consistent.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Yeah, Sunday night would be a good time, and then
the one after that and then the one after that,
we shall fashiate Outside linebacker Nick Herbig is one of
the potential answers, but to be that, he's probably gonna
have to play more than the twenty nine defensive snaps
he played against the Bengals.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
In that situation. Yeah, that Mike is right.
Speaker 13 (30:18):
We thought we would have in that regard to more
situational things for him to really rush and get after
the passer. And again, we do have to explore getting
him in there more. And that's just sometimes that happens
during the course of the game, kind of get thrown
a loop and as you work through and work to
the game. You know, our biggest emphasis on game day
(30:38):
is trying to win the game, not determining how many
plays a guy plays.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
And so we did.
Speaker 13 (30:44):
That, and you know, we'll go back and look at
it and see if he you know, the next time,
if we know, maybe do a better job of that.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
We do have to explore getting him in there more.
Maybe do a better job of that. That's as close
as you'll hear most coordinators to sing dropped the ball
in that one.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
It's kind of surprised to hear him say it.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Actually, I mean they've set the president for firing a
coordinator mid season with Matt Canada or revisited something they
did decades before.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Anyways, I mean, they hadn't done that since Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Do you think if things continue to go south that
even though everyone knows Terrel Austin isn't the one really
pulling the strings there that they might sackle sacrificial this.
Speaker 11 (31:27):
Thing, he's making the calls for what that's worth. Okay,
So I mean, just I don't know if everyone's say
I don't know if yeah, but I don't know if
everyone's assumptions are correct to the point. But yeah, he
says he's making the calls. So yeah, I mean, it
was great against Minnesota un til the fluke at the
end when they just dropped well I shouldn't say fluke,
(31:49):
but one blown coverage on an eighty one yard play
kind of made that game tight.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Too complicated of a call.
Speaker 11 (31:54):
They played really well against Minnesota for the most part,
and they played great against Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Then they went on the road on third night and
had nothing. Yeah. I mean I don't like to Cava
literally talk about people's jobs, but like if the head
coach comes on our show and says that the defense
has a chance to become historic and it ends up
being historically bad, Yeah, it has been historic twice this year. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
They allowed a nineteen yard run on third and goal
on third or fourth down for a touchdown that had
never happened before, and Jamar Chase had never before caught
sixteen passes or nay Bengals receiver at like.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I said, the Hindenburg was also historic, Yes, like oh
the humanity you have to wonder at some point. Yeah,
well see, you know, the next time you say this
is on the players though that you know, well, but
I mean changing the coaches can't get changed. You can't
get rid of eleven players.
Speaker 11 (32:45):
You know, Let's see how they do against Green Bay,
Indianapolis and the Chargers. Mike Toman came out of that
Bengal game. He said, this will not define us. These
next three will. It's not September anymore. There's no more Wow.
These guys are new. We're still working.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Man.
Speaker 11 (33:00):
Well, we didn't have this guy, we didn't have that guy.
By now everybody doesn't have this guy or that guy.
Get it done.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Abby's got your news.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Top of the hour, we talked about those mixed reviews
of the Bruce Springsteen movie. So we're going to look
at a list of some of the worst reviewed rock
and roll biopicks of all time.

DV Morning, Randy Bellman, Bill Crawford, Abbey Crisoner, I might
pursue the Jacker Bresart producer. We got John Collier in
studio with us too. Alex Heismith from the Steelers will
join us at nine fifteen. Each week we go through
our mistackle segment, which is where you know, some of
the stories fall through the cracks, and we didn't have
a chance to get to him. A few of them
(34:31):
that we didn't get to talk about Woody Johnson, owner
of the Jets, throwing Justin Fields under the bus. What's
your competence level in Aeron to turn it around? It
looks like he's turning around parts of it.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
you know, with a rating that you know we've got,
you know, I mean, he has the ability, but something
just is not driving.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
But if you look at any any head coach with.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
A quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results
if you across the league. You have to play consistently
with you know, at that position. And that's what we're
going to try to do under the man of the season. Yeah,
so what gives you hope then you can get I
just think defense rusher teams are going better. Defense is
(35:20):
pretty good, but you can just complete a pass. It
would look good.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Oh wow, damn, and then Justin Fields already blown up.
Justin Fields found out apparently. I remember, the media have
a hard time believing that this was actually the case,
but he famously avoids social media, and I think just
from a little bit we interacted with Justin, I think
(35:48):
there's a case to be made here that he actually
found out from this reporter, Justin who is the.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Reactions Whels's comments yesterday.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I didn't.
Speaker 15 (35:58):
I didn't see any comment. Yeah, y'all know, I'm not
on you know, social media, beef.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
You're hearing it up with the jets of what he says.
Uh No, not really.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
I'm just highly critical of you.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
He basically said, you know, if you guys could complete
pass things look good year.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
He kind of said, you know, the quarterback player.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
If the course can't win with the quarterback in the
raign like they have, like you were any now, No,
I wasn't.
Speaker 15 (36:25):
Like I said, I'm not on social media. It doesn't
bother me, It doesn't, you know. Of course everybody knows.
You know, I need to I need to play better.
We need to play better as a team. And of course,
you know, no matter how you know the offense does
as a unit, you know I'm gonna get the blame.
And I understand that that's just what comes with the job.
(36:45):
But honestly, that's what comes with it. So you can't
let anything kind of affect your mind, my mind, and
that's that's it is what it is, no matter if
it's you know him, no matter if it's you know,
family members, even teammates. Sometimes you're gonna be there's a
there are going to be times where you have to be
the only one who believes in yourself.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
So you know, like I said, that's his opinion. And
like I told you guys after.
Speaker 15 (37:07):
The game on Sunday, I'm at peace and on focus
is right now, is working each and every day and
getting better.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
So I root for Justin Field's big time. He's an
easy guy to root for, and he's handled himself amazingly
through all of this. I don't think he's had a
fair shake in the NFL. I think that it's evident
from some of the performances you see from quarterbacks like
Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Gino Smith. Even like people that
are left for dead in the NFL do not That
(37:35):
does not necessarily mean that they don't have the talent.
Speaker 11 (37:38):
But a lot of the people that are left for
dead are also actually dead.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
But there's a lot more bodies coming out of the
Browns organization, the Jets, especially the Panthers, like, these organizations
are not doing these quarterbacks, any quarterback are.
Speaker 11 (37:54):
But I think what we're saying at this point is
Justin Fields cannot read a defense, yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Quickly enough.
Speaker 11 (38:00):
And if I was gonna play him, I would steer
into what he does well. I would make him run, run, run,
and get to defense so worried about quarterback run that
you could cross him up with a one read pass
every once in a while and try it that way.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
It would be better than it is now.
Speaker 11 (38:17):
You're not gonna win a championship that way, But if
this is your guy and you're gonna play him, try
to win some games.
Speaker 6 (38:23):
But I mean, isn't this a plot twist from week one?
I mean, we all had a totally different scope of
what this might look like in New York. After that game,
I thought, oh my god, Justin Fields might have found
his home. He might have them on a run. Fans
are tweeting out, see, see we should have signed this guy.
We let him walk out of our building.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Yeah, you think about tapile.
Speaker 11 (38:45):
On your point, the play that got the Jets beat
in that game was a completed pass that Jalen Ramsey
turned into an incompleted pass.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yes, but for Jets fans, things are bleak. This young
fan was interviewed on his way out of that game
last week week.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
I'll say, if I get your thoughts in the game,
I hate this team.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I was born into this and I'm not gonna ever.
I'm always a Jets fan, but like I just I
hate the same kids wearing Jets jersey and he's just miserable.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
I feel so bad for him. Uh, you know that
you're a kid. This is the best part of your life.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, things are bad. They're also bad in Miami, and
every time Tua speaks he makes it worse. This is
what he said yesterday. Oh my god. Yeah, I think
with with that. Uh, he's asked about why he's not
targeting Jayalen Wattle more often. Yeah, I think with with that.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Uh, some of it has to do with being able
to see guys with their guys also.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Up front and our guys.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
And I'm not the tallest guy in the back there either,
so being able to see and then you know, sometimes
when that happens, you don't want to just throw it blindly.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Oh my god, Oh stop answer. Yeah, again, I don't
know how long they can keep that going down there. Man,
this is just cruel and unusual to make that guy
go out and coach that team every week, and to
make two go out and throw the ball. Pay the man,
he's my knee and move on. Sean Payton showed you
(40:20):
the way. Even though Sean Payton still hasn't really let
go of the beef with Russ, and he talked about
the back and forth between him and Russ this past week.
Speaker 16 (40:32):
I did look and the euphoria the way that game unfolded.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
That was strictly about Dart.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
I mean, and I.
Speaker 16 (40:45):
That was in no way, shape or form anything that
was directed at Russ. So and I might be able
to see how he might perceive that.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
But yeah, yeah, coming off.
Speaker 16 (40:58):
That win, you think and watching how he played, Yeah, that.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
That wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
He's so full of crap.
Speaker 11 (41:10):
If it's struct me about Dart, just say, hey, you
guys drafted a really good quarterback, Jackson.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Dart's really good. Not I wish you would have waited
to switch out quarterbacks. That makes it about Russ, Yeah
it does. He's just but he took a lot of
heat for that.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
A ton of heat. The amount of money they had
to pay to move on from Russ was significant, especially
given what they gave up.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
To get him. I know, but you won validated.
Speaker 6 (41:43):
I mean, you're still in that halo of Bonnicks.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Looks like, don't Russ is clearly not right. But what
have they won so far? That didn't matter. You had
no chance with Russ. Now you, I mean, the detective
of the exercises to win.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
So if you don't win, yeah, you gotta win still,
just just because.
Speaker 11 (41:59):
You were right about one guy that couldn't play and
you replaced with another guy that doesn't win for you.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Either doesn't make Mike. If you're looking towards a destination
and you get on a bus that is driving somewhere
near there, or if you have a choice to take
one that is taking you further away. Valid point. But
you're still getting there.
Speaker 6 (42:14):
Yeah, you gotta get it to get close.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
I get it. But but but they get the playoffs
if you ever, they don't win. But the decision was
the correct one. That guy gave you less of a chance.
You are now with the guy that gives you more
of a chance.
Speaker 11 (42:28):
Okay, So I'm not saying They're going to win a
super Bowl with them.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I'm saying, you had no chance with Russ and we
all see that. That's the that's the vindication valid.
Speaker 6 (42:38):
I think what Mike is saying is that the ultimate
vindication won't come until they start winning playoff teams.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
There, thank you. You said that better than I was
trying to. Matt Lafleur talked about his relationship with Aaron
Rodgers this week. Yeah, great relationship.
Speaker 10 (42:53):
I thought it was a great collaboration of just all
of us coming together and I together, especially that offseason
during COVID, of trying to really bring more clarity to
our offense and what we wanted to be and what
we wanted to do and why we wanted to do it.
(43:14):
And there was a ton of great conversations that led
to us going out there and having a lot of
success together.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
During COVID, he was like, Aaron, can you just stop
talking about hanging Fauci for just one second and can
we talk about the offense. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (43:28):
I think Lafleur is a smart guy and a really
good coach. Now I don't have the Rogers transcript in
front of me, but it curs to me hearing that
that he mentioned the photographer and the trainers and people
at the Pigley Wiggley in some little Wisconsin hamlet that
I never heard of. And I don't think he brought
off bat Lafleur's name Steelers in fifteen minutes of talking
(43:48):
to the Pittsburgh media about his days in Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Steelers Packers eight twenty kickoff Sunday night and all of
the action broadcast back right. Here's the revenge game on
your radio home of the Steelers on th fwo point five
AD Fridays four to six.
Speaker 7 (44:03):
DVEST Chad Tyson gets you ready for the most important
part of the weekend a bad week Steelers game.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
It's the DVE Steelers Tailgates.
Speaker 7 (44:15):
He'll have highlights from the past week's team coverage plus
music to get you fired up for the game. If
you want a grill at the same time to complete
the experience, that's up to you. The DVE Steelers Tailgate
with Chad Tyson happens every Friday four to six. Get
ready to get pumped up on your radio home for
the Steelers DV.
Speaker 6 (44:37):
You may have.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Noticed a new internet company knocking at your door with
claims like I'm not here to sell you anything, or
I wouldn't lie to you. The truth is
E.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Pittsburgh. Do you know many variations of her album there were?
If you're trying to make money, how do you make
money on fans after they buy the record? Will you
give them different kinds of records to buy versions of
the same record? Right? She had like Taylor's version. I
think she had thirty one Verrietyls. It was an article last.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Week about a fan that was going through how he
described essentially it was a privilege to own every variation
that she would put out because he felt like it.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Made him a part of history.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, but he was talking about spending like eight thousand
dollars on every version of Life of.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
A Show Girl.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
He's a plant. That guy's a plant.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Also, I said varietyl like it was wine, which is hilarious.
But what if one of the records, Like, what if
one of the records is all songs about different body
parts of his like it's is that an ear? Randy
(01:05):
Bellman and the DV Morgan the entire song of her going.
So we were just talking off the air. This is
very interesting that the University of Oregon this weekend has
a uniform tie in and a whole theme for their
game that Nike has basically steered them toward here because
(01:28):
you know that's where Nike is and Phil Knight and
those guys basically are big underwriters of the program up there.
But it's a Grateful Dead weekend with Oregon, and their
uniforms have dancing bears on the back of the of
their helmet, the numbers are tie died on the jersey.
They have the steal your Face Grateful Dead logo has
(01:50):
a duck bill on the bottom of it instead of
like the bottom of the wrell And they created all
of these videos that look EXAs and it's not hard
to do because it's like the weather, it's the same
in organ all the time. They look like the videos
from the Sunshine Daydream documentary from the famous nineteen seventy
two show at Vinita, Oregon. And they've interspersed all these
(02:14):
kids on campus wearing all of this Grateful Ducks merch
with the original footage from nineteen seventy two, and it
looks like it's all part of the same thing.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Is the band involved in this very much?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (02:30):
So because I would I would say they would have
to sign off on all this totally.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
And the.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Amount of merch that they're going to sell. The other
thing is that steal your face that I was talking
about with the duck bill. Instead of the bottom of
the skull has instead of a lightning bolt through it,
it's a lightning Nike logo. All right. Now, this is
something I should absolutely hate. I should really hate this
just because it's so over the top of commercial. But
(02:59):
I don't like it. I don't know why, but I do.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
But that's the thing I don't understand, because the money
grubbing whars. Why wasn't their model always to not care
about money?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And then Jerry died and then and then it became
we have to pay a bunch of people, and they
didn't know how to do it and keep it going,
and they were struggling. And then all of a sudden,
irving azof said, let me be your manager and let's
capitalize on all this. And that's why they lost a
huge portion of their fan base when the whole John
(03:36):
Mayer thing happened, because it was seen by a lot
of people as a total money ground, like the antithesis
of what they thought the dead stood for, and a
sort of direction to Jerry would have never let them
go in In another circumstance, like if Bob Weird died,
he would not be like, oh yeah, let's go out,
(03:57):
let's let John Mayer play Bob's parts. He would probably
be like, no, the Dead is done. There is no
Grateful Dead.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Now, we could still keep going with Bruno Mars. Let's
do Bruno Mars and John Mayer.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
That actually, I mean, that's what's going to happen now,
because John Mayer and Irving Azof have turned this into
something that is going to live on ad infinitum with
just different members and it'll always be a continuation of
what it was. So Otel Berberge will be on bass,
Jeff Comeni will be on keys, and Jay Lane will
play drums. But if Bobby can't do it anymore, John
(04:30):
Mayer takes it out, and then someone takes Bobby's place,
and it'll probably somebody of note like Stergel Simpson, and
then they go out and just play Grateful Dead songs
and the whole Dead on Taraski's following them around. This
is like a new idea for a business model that
maybe bon Jovi should have considered. Ooh, that maybe he
can't sing the songs anymore, but people want to hear
(04:51):
those songs, you could you know, keep that going forever.
He just can't do it.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That's been one of the things the Kiss has always
talked about is it doesn't have to be those guys
in the makeup.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And they're going to do it. I guarantee you that's
the easiest one to do totally.
Speaker 8 (05:09):
I mean, it's already at a lower you know, Blood
Sweat and Tears played Jurgles a couple of months ago.
No one from Blood Sweat and Tears was in it,
but it had the name and they played the songs.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
Zz Top could do it. Just get a beer, a
really long beer.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's really all you need, I mean, in a top hat,
because a lot of times you'd be like I saw
a z Eazy Top and then you could somebody did.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
You or did you see my friend Rusty from Belvernon.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That used to happen, by the way back in the
day before modern media, in the early days of rock
and roll, there would be a hit song and it
would be attributed to whatever band, and it was very
easy for Charlatan's to say we're that band and then
book themselves around like parts of the South and parts
(05:56):
of the Southwest that might not have been so up
on like what the Kingsmen looked like. And then they're like, no,
we're the band that sings Louie Louie, and they're like,
holy cow, we definitely want you. And then they would
book them and it would be a bunch of people
who were not the Kingsman.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Oh, that's fine.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I saw the Buzzcocks last month and everybody was like,
oh my god, you saw the Buzzcocks.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I'm like, I saw one guy.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
A single bock was singular, right.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
It was weird looking. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But nobody's doing on the level that they are. And
this tie in, which again it has so much of
a like money grubbing feel to it. I should hate it,
but I don't love it.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Oregon is the one to do it. They're the alternate
jersey Kings.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yes, and Nike.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
That's is Is this the first leak in the damn
because alternate jerseys and merchant gear are such big business
that in ten years, it's not Star Wars night at
the ballpark.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It's the Pirates are dressed up like Storm.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yeah, well there, I mean I think you could definitely
see that. Yes, like inspired jerseys, alternate jerseys, of.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Course, yes, Well, the Steelers are wearing alternate jerseys on
Sunday night. We talked about that a little bit yesterday,
and the Packers have had to respond by wearing all
white because they can't both have yellow helmets on Sunday night.
So the result of this is we're gonna be looking
at two teams that won't resemble at all what we're
used to seeing on the field, and it is robbing
(07:30):
us of a classic matchup. If they were going to
go throw back, I wish it would have been block
numbers from the eighties or something like that, you know
what I mean, something that was a little more representative
of what we've come to know, not like how many
people you think will be at the game this weekend
that recognize those Steelers jerseys. I remember when they wore
(07:50):
these in nineteen thirty three. Yeah, nobody's alive, right, And
the Packers, as far as I know, they just had
to invent this jersey. I don't think it.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Exists or wore alternate like whites.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Yeah, the Packers are wearing white, all white, white helmet, white,
home team color white.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
What No, that's a weight team white is always a weight.
Dark colors going to confuse people.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
It's making me irrationally angry.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
And now I get their throwbacks they're not wearing. I
mean it would be cool if it was a throwback game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Because they could wear their blues and the they have
cocy pants too, Yeah, and like a navy color with
them with a circle they've got and pants?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Has anybody seen my cocky pans?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
What if they're just selling those outside? Like the why
is nobody buying these? Just a bad merch idea pants?
Anybody comp through.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Your first No problem, it's a buy one, get one.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Pan waisting CaCu pants. They wickedip.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
You know that Mykels is performing at halftime, right, you.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Gotta be wearing khaki, dude, khaki. Don't look that up on.
But my brown pants they're bad. It is a bad beauty.
I I I like it. I like the jersey.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
I think the pants make it, you know, unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But isn't there I agree with you on that if
you had black pants it would.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Be better black pants again, all's forgiven. Black pants?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Fine?
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Whoa black pants? Pampa damn black pants going wold Papa dam.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Settled down cock and pants. All Right, we're supposed to
be joined by Alex Heismith here shortly, uh and loves
to talk to him about But I'm definitely gonna ask
me about the jersey pants cocka pants, Uh.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Question, cock pants?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yay or nay? On the kecka pans, mister cock pants.
Good morning, khaki pants.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
But if it's Sunday night, Coca pants.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The thing. If I was gonna buy something, it would
be kaki pants. But I'm wondering now when you're talking
about the tie in and star wars and stuff like that,
as we have, like look at the size of those
patches that were on the MLB player's arms during the
Championship Series.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I mean, just look at what the Steelers did. They've
already done it. Or the Pirates with the sheets, Yeah,
the sheets patch, Like it's it's just a patch now,
but it's gonna be a whole theme.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Shortly, we're basically becoming everything is becoming NASCAR, where you're
just labeled head to toe in sponsorships. But it won't
be for a lot of gambling sites. I can tell
you that not for some time. I think this past
week has set things back quite a bit in that regard.
It was interesting to watch that ESPN video of Mike
Greenberg and everybody at the roundtable talking about the gambling
(10:51):
scandal that happened, and underneath they had a gambling sponsor
on the screen and it just disappeared. It just disappeared.
Speaker 8 (10:59):
Yeah, just like whoever was working the graphics is like,
get rid.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Of it, sixty nine, Get sixty sixty. I didn't know
that was part of this candal. I'm getting.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Don't put your family.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That is not a gambling site. Oh no, that gambling
cit has a life.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Cam Alex Smith has been backed up tonight fifteen, and
I'm sure it has nothing to do with this conversations.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Mister pants is unavailable.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
So mister caupins, do you plan to stop the run
in those Coca pants? Oh?
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Man, to have the runs in the CaCu pans?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
No that stop the runs?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Oh no, you can't have runs in pins.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Sean. We didn't get to finish your review. What is
regretting you?
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Regretting you as a tear jerker, which is the last
common text in which you're allowed to say jerker.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
So smile jerkers.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
I mean there might be, but I don't even know
what I'm alluding to, based on a big time romance
novel Alison Williams Dave Franco, A date movie. It's fine.
Go see the date movie if you'd like to. I
did notice I learned something about movies. If a character
picks up the telephone and says hello, yes, this is she.
(12:24):
That character's spouse just died in a horrible accident.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Those are the.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Only contexts in which anyone says hello, yes, this is he.
That's the hot cut to crying in the hospital hallway.
Nothing wrong with the Colleen Hoover book. Nothing wrong with it.
If you want to go on a date, but all
the horror movies are in the theaters.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
What's your retropic?
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Go to row House for Halloween, Evil Dead, Suspiria, IT,
and hocus Pocus, Brownsville drive in for Nightmare on Elm
Street one through four or Dependable drive in for Halloween
one and two back to back. Do not dress up
like Michael Myers and jump in front of people's cars.
It's tempting. We've all thought about it. But you don't
want to spend the holidays dead.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Just watch the movie. It's fine, all right, Abby? Do
you have something for us because Alex Heigsmith is going
to be backed up till nine to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Okay, sounds good news.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
This hour brought to you by Window Nation Times of
clouds and sun. Today it's gonna be higher fifty two
Saturday clouds with a high of fifty four and then
Steelers Sunday high of fifty six. If you're going to
the game, it'll be about forty one degrees around kickoff.
Foo fighters are heading back out on the road next
summer for a stadium tour. The North American Tour is
going to bring along Queens of the Stone Age. It's
(13:34):
also going to breathe the band's first stadium run with
their new drummer, Illan Rubin. It's going to kick off
August fourth in Toronto. It'll wrap up September twenty sixth
in Las Vegas. So I was looking at the dates
for this. Closest ones for US. There's a Detroit date
on August the sixth, There's Cleveland on August the eighth.
(14:00):
You could also do DC on the seventeenth of August.
Those are probably the most drivable ones. Do you want
to stretch it a little more, Maybe Chicago on August
the eighth, you could go to Philadelphia on the thirteenth.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
So those are again the.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
All August dates food fighters dot com if you want
to check them out, And again, tickets go on sale
to the general public on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Be guess people have finally forgot that he cheated on
his wife and impregnated someone out of wedlock.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Seems like that has happened.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Let's get back to the fun.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, hey guys, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Her girls, it's the It's me and mister Kirker. Oh no,
I'm an old Daddy tour.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Ooopsie poopsie.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, but with Josh Hammi and Queen's on stage, you
got to be thinking that there's multiple sittings possible here.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Right, it was almost the Divorced Dad's Tour, but now
it's uh, now it's not. So I'm super excited. The
Queen's of the Stone Ages Back on the.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Road Just for the Deaf is my favorite of the
Queen's records, and that's lead large parts to girls drumming
on that.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
The two of them together is amazing, so.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Not so musical with Hommy that I just it's a
little bit of a shame that they don't do more together.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
One to your point.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Songs for the Deaf is an iconic Queens of the
Stone Age record, largely in parts of Dave's drumming and
a lot of background vocals, and I'm sure a lot
of musical influence that he kind of brings out in
Josh Hommy.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
But also they did them.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Crooked Vultures, which was a one album only.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
The John Paul Jones record. Yes, yeah, I love the.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Three piece band of Dave Girl, Josh Hommy, and John
Paul Jones of led Zeppelin because you know, when you
get the opportunity to play with him, you just do.
But Josh Hommy has said the reason why they haven't
done another record is just because Dave Grohl leads that
project impregnating people out of and he keeps impregnating people
and there's just not enough time.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Sure, well, hey, don't smirch out of wedlock? Why not
the problem?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (16:05):
A lock clarific clear, Yeah, is fun. It is one
has to be locked situation. Got a s lay away,
Yeah exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
No I phrased that. Yes, yeah, philanderous fathering.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
That's the other f F. I get it.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
I see.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
There's the food Fighters and then the differently but it works. Okay,
uh quickly here.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
A survey of two thousand adults revealed that thirty four
percent of adults think that they could survive a horror
slasher film and defeat the villain. Are you in the thirty.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
One Big One?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Well, Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street? Could you
defeat him?
Speaker 10 (17:01):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Because it's mental. No, Now he's.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
In my dreams. He's figured out what you're most scared of,
and then that's what he makes himself.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yeah, he gets he gets me.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
Turn the tables. Act like you're into it. You're rocking.
You're rocking that sweater. Dream Daddy come over here like
you're into it.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I like you. I like you.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Steps on fire, don't tease me. You know what is
crazy is if you go back and watch Nightmare on
Elm Street, it is basically the horror movie version of
Hume Alum because at the end of that movie, she's
booby trapping her house to try to kill Freddy.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oh, that's that's kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's the Wet dream bandit.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Could you survive Hannibal Lecter?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Uh? I kind of feel like I could kick his ass,
But but what he does is he like gets you
when you're not you know what I mean. He drugs
you and you don't know, and you're like the greeny
is delicious eat on brain. Yeah, okay, I got it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, if he worked at dish, we also he compliments
you a lot, and that that's how you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
But I could outrun him. I feel like I could
beat him up, you know.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Although the knock him down the stairs Edward Norton got
past him, but it was one year after Fight Club,
so he had been in training.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well, And I was gonna say, didn't Brian Cox play
the first version of Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter?
Speaker 8 (18:36):
I don't know anything at William Peterson the early like
the mid eighties. Uh And and they thought it was
such a bomb that Dino de Laurentis gave the rights
away for free, like no one I'll ever make money
off of this.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And then they made Silence in the Lamps.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
I don't know about it.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I didn't know, and it's not it's a good movie.
But did you know right now at the Soldiers and
Sailors haul in Oakland and they have re erected the.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Cage, right Kato just maybe did a did a little
segment on that.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Well it's KGO today. Yeah, I love that. That's tonight
by the really cool. Oh yeah, no, it's very cool.
Speaker 11 (19:17):
I never lost show in there. I never worked until
and Springsteen played there. Yeah, and it's so much to
see there.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Was that your best experience because you were you were
like right up front.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Weren't Springsteen? Yeah? Didn't you meet him? No? You did
a shot at his to meet him. I went out
and I went on to meet him. I introduced Johnny
Ghaky's band one night. Oh and he got mad at
you from when.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
You guys were talking about this yesterday. Yeah, I wore
shorts and a like a cowboys shirt, and Joe said.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It ain't very rock and roll.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
Like, well, I'm not a rock and roll guy, said.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Your kid. I've introduced your kid. I just went and
grabbed some old nineteen nineteen soldier's uniform. Put that. But no,
that's a little hidden treasure of Pittsburgh. It truly is.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
How about Michael Myers, Yes, I.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Mean, which we can't outrun Michael Myers. You've got a problem.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
He's the slow one, Yes, all right, Jason Deliver is
not slow. Michael Myers is the one that's like he
has bad hips and depending on which movie you're in,
Jason can teleport. Jason just blinks across. That's tough to
beat a lot of these times, the answer is leave town.
You might want to save your friend. Pick your most
important friend in there. Yeah, put them in the passenger seat. Drive.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Now, in one of the Friday the Thirteenth movies, Jason
jumps on somebody like Troy jumping over the offensive line.
It's the anticipation is incredible.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Times of clouds and sun. Today it's a high of
fifty two.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Demonic Troy Polamalu would be a good horror movie.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, yeah, he knows what you're gonna do before you
even do it. Yeah, you're like, well, there's no way
he could get me from all the way over there.
He turned around against there.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Was there was a Demonic Troy Polamalu movie, but it is.
It's from the seventies and it was it was an
actual it's famous now. Karen Black starred in this. It
was part of a four vignette horror movie that was
I haven't said. I want to say it's Trilogy of Tears,
a trilogy of terror. So three and four and her
(21:25):
vignette was she opens a box like a presence she
got sent and it's a miniature like looks like, you know,
Troy Polamalu, but it's like a teaki from Polynesia that
is like demonic somehow, but she doesn't know. And so
she's like in her apartment and all of a sudden
thing you hear, like and the things flying around the
(21:49):
house and then it grabs a knife and it's like
little tiny Troy and it's like killing her. I'm not kidding. Look,
he's got the.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I mean, does he have a release how?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
No, No, he doesn't not know Scarier. Yeah, it's not
Troy though, Yeah, but it's supposed to be. It's like, yeah,
some sort of it's like the Tiki idol from Brady
Bunch combined with all kinds of.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Other It's looked like dehydrated and shrunk Troy and gave
him a piranha mouth and put a knife in it.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And that's terrified.
Speaker 11 (22:21):
And a bottle of head and shoulders, yes, things just
running around on the floor and she's just screaming.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
She can't get away from the tiny doll the whole time.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
With great hair, yes, admiring his hair as she runs
for her life.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
He's still doing those commercials.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Yeah, oh yeah, put I think that they're I think
that they're old. Like he shot a bunch of those,
you know what I mean, Like, I don't know they're
like if they're still coming out.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's like Prince and Paisley Park.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
I'm putting away thirty Head and Shoulders commercials for the future.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
He's got four Head and Shoulders albums that he hasn't released.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It like when comedians put their head shot up from
thirty years ago. See, we're gonna go see this guy
this weekend. He was great, and then you see him
in person, you're like, what happened to him? Oh my god.
I feel like comics do that more than actors or
anybody else. Like actors, you have to continually update your headshot,
but comics you go see somebody and it'll be someone
(23:18):
who's been around for twenty years, and invariably the headshot
is from twenty years ago. To be very common in
newspaper mug shots. Oh really, yeah, because.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You get it done once and then you never want
to do it again. Yeah, it's not necessarily intentional. On
the comics, these have these.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Things called newspapers tell us about it.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
And if you wrote an opinion piece, you have your
picture next to it. That's how people were supposed to
know it was an opinion piece. Yeah, now everything's an
opinion piece and it's ill informed.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Alex Hismith will be on at nine to fifteen today,
Dreamed the Heavy in the Coffee House and Michael have
a full sports report for you when we come back.
Getting ready for Steelers Packers on Sunday night. This is
a big one. Aaron Rodgers met with the Green Bay
media yesterday and made really nice once again. He's laying
it on thick like he's melted the big uzzy nacho
(24:08):
cheese just.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
All over the media yesterday. See I can't get past
the two MVP thing when he slid that in. Oh yeah,
that was nice to me. That was f you guys.
We talked about that a little bit with Meryl last night.
On the previous show, Meryl said he thought he was
trying to be funny. Meryl thinks the he's a a
magnanimous approach to this is legit and genuine and he
(24:35):
really doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
He just wants to win the game. I think he's
made it clear that he wants to have a future
when he's done playing where he is remembered fondly as
a packer, and he is trying to clean up the
mess of the last couple of years in Green Bay.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Because when he's when he hangs it up, he's going home.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
But I think it's his right to do that. Like
I think it's right to do whatever he wants. But
I think blame me. They'll welcome him, man, Yes, exactly,
will they? Oh yeah, read them out right?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah? But yeah, but that's we ran Chuck Nolot. We ran,
I mean almost ran Cower out, you know, Terry Bradshaw,
I mean, but not. I mean we ran hines Ward out?
Did people not like hines Ward here?
Speaker 11 (25:21):
It was old and washed again? They know what I'm saying. Yea,
they thought Aaron was old washt Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yes, they thought they were like enough with you in
the drama and you're not getting it done. Okay, you
didn't win three m vps in a row, f off.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
I think it would be stupid from an organization standpoint
to not welcome him back, right like he you don't,
I mean, he's in the pantheon there Yeah, but he's not.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
Going anywhere back because he said he's just going to
go be in the shadows and we won't see him.
It'll just go to Melbourne talk to Dolphins. He's going
to be doing the NFL. He'll be doing that the
big the big black blanket.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, you pulled up again, or watching on the beach, Yeah,
just sitting there next to week the boy.
Speaker 11 (26:03):
I remember that game when I stuck it right up
to Peckers.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I hope he does it this Sunday night, Aaron faces
his former teammates, the Green Bay Packers. This is a
lafleur Aaron Rodgers revenge game. I don't care what anybody says.
I concur and you played the greatest song in the
world for me only if you can wick it.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Let us know your lunch requests on our socials phone
or the talkback button on the irt radio app. You
picked this songs on the Electric Lunch at noon on
DVE from the Bridgevilts.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Mike Prosuded with your sports right now getting ready for
Steelers Packers Sunday night Here on DVE.
Speaker 11 (26:45):
Sports that I brought to you by Bridgeville clients. No
Zach Fraser practice yesterday for the Steelers. He went from
a limited participant who did not practice, But the quote
from Fraser afterward, I think I'll be fine. He's dealing
with a sore calf and the injury, according to Fraser,
occurred in the second series of the Cincinnati game a
(27:05):
week from Thursday. Played through it. Then, I think this
is just a maintenance deal. We'll see, but I'll take
him at his word because he went to West Virginia.
He wouldn't deceive anyone. He dragged himself off the field
after he broke his leg. Who's the backupsent O Ryan
Ryan mccollumy, who's got three career starts to here. I
(27:26):
think Fraser will play potential complication for green Bay.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
They're down.
Speaker 11 (27:31):
The Packers are two of their best receivers, Christian Watson
and Jaden Reid. Reid is on IR. Watson is trying
to work his way back from IR. He has been
a limited participant both days this week. Also Dontavian Wicks,
who is the number three receiver without Watson or Reed
being available. He has not practiced this week because of
(27:53):
the calf injury. So if Watson can't come off IR
and Wicks can't play, Green Bay is going to be
dipping pretty deep into the wide receiver barrel, getting close
to the bottom. I would imagine in that situation, maybe
they just give it to Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Now, the one thing about Jacobs phenomenal player, touchdown machine,
he was a game time decision last Sunday against Arizona
with the calf injury that he's trying to work through
this week, and he only played thirty one snaps. He
still scored two touchdowns, but he only only played thirty
one snaps. Depending on how quickly he is convalescing, he
(28:34):
may or may not be at full strength.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
And he might pull a hamstring early in this game
running for eighty yards.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Maybe that's the plan. Tire mind defense.
Speaker 11 (28:44):
The issue for the Steelers the run defense. We talked
the last hour about how they're just going to get
the ball shoved at them the next three games to
stop Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor of the Colts, who's leading the
NFL rushing and then they go play the Chargers, who
ran for two hundred and seven yards against Minnesota last night.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Past defense also problem.
Speaker 11 (29:07):
The theory on the south side is when you can't
stop the run that contributes to you, not be being
able to stop the pass either contributes to the defense
not looking too often like the Steelers envisioned it. But
DC teror Austin maintained yesterday, there's still time.
Speaker 13 (29:25):
We all thought we'd be, you know better, But I
understand it's the NFL, and I know these guys are pros,
and I know they'll bounce back because their pedigree tells me,
the way they work, their mindset tells me they're going
to bounce back, and you know, it just has The
nice thing I know for me is it's a long season.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
We've seen these guys.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
They've got a track record of playing well and playing
over the long haul, And to me, it's just a
matter of us, you know, continue to work at it
and eventually that they'll get into their groove and they'll
start playing the type of football overall that we want
more consistent.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Yeah, Sunday night would be a good time, and then
the one after that and then the one after that,
we shall fashiate Outside linebacker Nick Herbig is one of
the potential answers, but to be that, he's probably gonna
have to play more than the twenty nine defensive snaps
he played against the Bengals.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
In that situation. Yeah, that Mike is right.
Speaker 13 (30:18):
We thought we would have in that regard to more
situational things for him to really rush and get after
the passer. And again, we do have to explore getting
him in there more. And that's just sometimes that happens
during the course of the game, kind of get thrown
a loop and as you work through and work to
the game. You know, our biggest emphasis on game day
(30:38):
is trying to win the game, not determining how many
plays a guy plays.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
And so we did.
Speaker 13 (30:44):
That, and you know, we'll go back and look at
it and see if he you know, the next time,
if we know, maybe do a better job of that.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
We do have to explore getting him in there more.
Maybe do a better job of that. That's as close
as you'll hear most coordinators to sing dropped the ball
in that one.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
It's kind of surprised to hear him say it.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Actually, I mean they've set the president for firing a
coordinator mid season with Matt Canada or revisited something they
did decades before.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Anyways, I mean, they hadn't done that since Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Do you think if things continue to go south that
even though everyone knows Terrel Austin isn't the one really
pulling the strings there that they might sackle sacrificial this.
Speaker 11 (31:27):
Thing, he's making the calls for what that's worth. Okay,
So I mean, just I don't know if everyone's say
I don't know if yeah, but I don't know if
everyone's assumptions are correct to the point. But yeah, he
says he's making the calls. So yeah, I mean, it
was great against Minnesota un til the fluke at the
end when they just dropped well I shouldn't say fluke,
(31:49):
but one blown coverage on an eighty one yard play
kind of made that game tight.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Too complicated of a call.
Speaker 11 (31:54):
They played really well against Minnesota for the most part,
and they played great against Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Then they went on the road on third night and
had nothing. Yeah. I mean I don't like to Cava
literally talk about people's jobs, but like if the head
coach comes on our show and says that the defense
has a chance to become historic and it ends up
being historically bad, Yeah, it has been historic twice this year. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
They allowed a nineteen yard run on third and goal
on third or fourth down for a touchdown that had
never happened before, and Jamar Chase had never before caught
sixteen passes or nay Bengals receiver at like.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I said, the Hindenburg was also historic, Yes, like oh
the humanity you have to wonder at some point. Yeah,
well see, you know, the next time you say this
is on the players though that you know, well, but
I mean changing the coaches can't get changed. You can't
get rid of eleven players.
Speaker 11 (32:45):
You know, Let's see how they do against Green Bay,
Indianapolis and the Chargers. Mike Toman came out of that
Bengal game. He said, this will not define us. These
next three will. It's not September anymore. There's no more Wow.
These guys are new. We're still working.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Man.
Speaker 11 (33:00):
Well, we didn't have this guy, we didn't have that guy.
By now everybody doesn't have this guy or that guy.
Get it done.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Abby's got your news.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Top of the hour, we talked about those mixed reviews
of the Bruce Springsteen movie. So we're going to look
at a list of some of the worst reviewed rock
and roll biopicks of all time.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
DV Morning, Randy Bellman, Bill Crawford, Abbey Crisoner, I might
pursue the Jacker Bresart producer. We got John Collier in
studio with us too. Alex Heismith from the Steelers will
join us at nine fifteen. Each week we go through
our mistackle segment, which is where you know, some of
the stories fall through the cracks, and we didn't have
a chance to get to him. A few of them
(34:31):
that we didn't get to talk about Woody Johnson, owner
of the Jets, throwing Justin Fields under the bus. What's
your competence level in Aeron to turn it around? It
looks like he's turning around parts of it.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
you know, with a rating that you know we've got,
you know, I mean, he has the ability, but something
just is not driving.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
But if you look at any any head coach with.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
A quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results
if you across the league. You have to play consistently
with you know, at that position. And that's what we're
going to try to do under the man of the season. Yeah,
so what gives you hope then you can get I
just think defense rusher teams are going better. Defense is
(35:20):
pretty good, but you can just complete a pass. It
would look good.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Oh wow, damn, and then Justin Fields already blown up.
Justin Fields found out apparently. I remember, the media have
a hard time believing that this was actually the case,
but he famously avoids social media, and I think just
from a little bit we interacted with Justin, I think
(35:48):
there's a case to be made here that he actually
found out from this reporter, Justin who is the.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Reactions Whels's comments yesterday.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I didn't.
Speaker 15 (35:58):
I didn't see any comment. Yeah, y'all know, I'm not
on you know, social media, beef.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
You're hearing it up with the jets of what he says.
Uh No, not really.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
I'm just highly critical of you.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
He basically said, you know, if you guys could complete
pass things look good year.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
He kind of said, you know, the quarterback player.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
If the course can't win with the quarterback in the
raign like they have, like you were any now, No,
I wasn't.
Speaker 15 (36:25):
Like I said, I'm not on social media. It doesn't
bother me, It doesn't, you know. Of course everybody knows.
You know, I need to I need to play better.
We need to play better as a team. And of course,
you know, no matter how you know the offense does
as a unit, you know I'm gonna get the blame.
And I understand that that's just what comes with the job.
(36:45):
But honestly, that's what comes with it. So you can't
let anything kind of affect your mind, my mind, and
that's that's it is what it is, no matter if
it's you know him, no matter if it's you know,
family members, even teammates. Sometimes you're gonna be there's a
there are going to be times where you have to be
the only one who believes in yourself.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
So you know, like I said, that's his opinion. And
like I told you guys after.
Speaker 15 (37:07):
The game on Sunday, I'm at peace and on focus
is right now, is working each and every day and
getting better.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
So I root for Justin Field's big time. He's an
easy guy to root for, and he's handled himself amazingly
through all of this. I don't think he's had a
fair shake in the NFL. I think that it's evident
from some of the performances you see from quarterbacks like
Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Gino Smith. Even like people that
are left for dead in the NFL do not That
(37:35):
does not necessarily mean that they don't have the talent.
Speaker 11 (37:38):
But a lot of the people that are left for
dead are also actually dead.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
But there's a lot more bodies coming out of the
Browns organization, the Jets, especially the Panthers, like, these organizations
are not doing these quarterbacks, any quarterback are.
Speaker 11 (37:54):
But I think what we're saying at this point is
Justin Fields cannot read a defense, yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Quickly enough.
Speaker 11 (38:00):
And if I was gonna play him, I would steer
into what he does well. I would make him run, run, run,
and get to defense so worried about quarterback run that
you could cross him up with a one read pass
every once in a while and try it that way.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
It would be better than it is now.
Speaker 11 (38:17):
You're not gonna win a championship that way, But if
this is your guy and you're gonna play him, try
to win some games.
Speaker 6 (38:23):
But I mean, isn't this a plot twist from week one?
I mean, we all had a totally different scope of
what this might look like in New York. After that game,
I thought, oh my god, Justin Fields might have found
his home. He might have them on a run. Fans
are tweeting out, see, see we should have signed this guy.
We let him walk out of our building.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Yeah, you think about tapile.
Speaker 11 (38:45):
On your point, the play that got the Jets beat
in that game was a completed pass that Jalen Ramsey
turned into an incompleted pass.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yes, but for Jets fans, things are bleak. This young
fan was interviewed on his way out of that game
last week week.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
I'll say, if I get your thoughts in the game,
I hate this team.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I was born into this and I'm not gonna ever.
I'm always a Jets fan, but like I just I
hate the same kids wearing Jets jersey and he's just miserable.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
I feel so bad for him. Uh, you know that
you're a kid. This is the best part of your life.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, things are bad. They're also bad in Miami, and
every time Tua speaks he makes it worse. This is
what he said yesterday. Oh my god. Yeah, I think
with with that. Uh, he's asked about why he's not
targeting Jayalen Wattle more often. Yeah, I think with with that.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Uh, some of it has to do with being able
to see guys with their guys also.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Up front and our guys.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
And I'm not the tallest guy in the back there either,
so being able to see and then you know, sometimes
when that happens, you don't want to just throw it blindly.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Oh my god, Oh stop answer. Yeah, again, I don't
know how long they can keep that going down there. Man,
this is just cruel and unusual to make that guy
go out and coach that team every week, and to
make two go out and throw the ball. Pay the man,
he's my knee and move on. Sean Payton showed you
(40:20):
the way. Even though Sean Payton still hasn't really let
go of the beef with Russ, and he talked about
the back and forth between him and Russ this past week.
Speaker 16 (40:32):
I did look and the euphoria the way that game unfolded.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
That was strictly about Dart.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
I mean, and I.
Speaker 16 (40:45):
That was in no way, shape or form anything that
was directed at Russ. So and I might be able
to see how he might perceive that.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
But yeah, yeah, coming off.
Speaker 16 (40:58):
That win, you think and watching how he played, Yeah, that.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
That wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
He's so full of crap.
Speaker 11 (41:10):
If it's struct me about Dart, just say, hey, you
guys drafted a really good quarterback, Jackson.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Dart's really good. Not I wish you would have waited
to switch out quarterbacks. That makes it about Russ, Yeah
it does. He's just but he took a lot of
heat for that.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
A ton of heat. The amount of money they had
to pay to move on from Russ was significant, especially
given what they gave up.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
To get him. I know, but you won validated.
Speaker 6 (41:43):
I mean, you're still in that halo of Bonnicks.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Looks like, don't Russ is clearly not right. But what
have they won so far? That didn't matter. You had
no chance with Russ. Now you, I mean, the detective
of the exercises to win.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
So if you don't win, yeah, you gotta win still,
just just because.
Speaker 11 (41:59):
You were right about one guy that couldn't play and
you replaced with another guy that doesn't win for you.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Either doesn't make Mike. If you're looking towards a destination
and you get on a bus that is driving somewhere
near there, or if you have a choice to take
one that is taking you further away. Valid point. But
you're still getting there.
Speaker 6 (42:14):
Yeah, you gotta get it to get close.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
I get it. But but but they get the playoffs
if you ever, they don't win. But the decision was
the correct one. That guy gave you less of a chance.
You are now with the guy that gives you more
of a chance.
Speaker 11 (42:28):
Okay, So I'm not saying They're going to win a
super Bowl with them.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I'm saying, you had no chance with Russ and we
all see that. That's the that's the vindication valid.
Speaker 6 (42:38):
I think what Mike is saying is that the ultimate
vindication won't come until they start winning playoff teams.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
There, thank you. You said that better than I was
trying to. Matt Lafleur talked about his relationship with Aaron
Rodgers this week. Yeah, great relationship.
Speaker 10 (42:53):
I thought it was a great collaboration of just all
of us coming together and I together, especially that offseason
during COVID, of trying to really bring more clarity to
our offense and what we wanted to be and what
we wanted to do and why we wanted to do it.
(43:14):
And there was a ton of great conversations that led
to us going out there and having a lot of
success together.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
During COVID, he was like, Aaron, can you just stop
talking about hanging Fauci for just one second and can
we talk about the offense. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (43:28):
I think Lafleur is a smart guy and a really
good coach. Now I don't have the Rogers transcript in
front of me, but it curs to me hearing that
that he mentioned the photographer and the trainers and people
at the Pigley Wiggley in some little Wisconsin hamlet that
I never heard of. And I don't think he brought
off bat Lafleur's name Steelers in fifteen minutes of talking
(43:48):
to the Pittsburgh media about his days in Green Bay.
