Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And joining us right now from the Football America podcast
on Den Levatard's Middlework Platform Network podcast, uh Arena, It
is our friend, brought to you by the Gateway Clipper
Dave Damnage that, ladies and gentlemen, I.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hardly have a voice left you in I'm still belly
ache and shouting out loud to anyone who will listen
to me, not about the upcoming game on Sunday night.
I don't know if you heard. Aaron Rodgers is playing.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
His old team.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
But as it turns out, like he doesn't care. He's
not upset, he has no feeling. It's not it's like
what wait was the absence makes the heart grow fonder? No,
this isn't a big game for me. Like, wait, did
I did I talk endless amounts of crap about the
front office and how no one would ever want to

(00:51):
live in Green Bay, Wisconsin if it weren't for me
and everything else?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Like did he say that he could pin it on far?
He say no one would want to live in Green Bay?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yes, he said that. I mean he didn't say it.
He didn't say it this week because now he I know.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
But he said that in the past.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
It does make it does make more sense now in
his press conference this week, how much he mentioned the
neighborhoods and areas that he loved living in.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
He's like, yeah, I want to jump in the Piggly
Wiggley and I'd see Sharon and produced.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
He talked about his neighborhood three separate times in that interview.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Now, wait, did I say something that that set some
people off?

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Oops?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
My bad, everybody, Let's just move.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, you know, he's our quarterback now and it's all
games and ship and I don't care. I'm glad he
was mean to them because f Green Bay. We got
to win this game on Sunday night.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I mean absolutely right, and you definitely yeah for
for all the talk about you know, the nick picking
what the offense didn't do, and certainly up ten nothing.
I mean, it's pretty grim not to get in the
in the rear view mirror of last week. But but
let's get in the rear view rearview mirror of last week.

(02:14):
The up ten nothing. If anybody would have told you
with the Steelers having the ball just before Aaron rodgers
On corks that deep shot, that unnecessary deep shot that
felt like, uh, listen devil may care where we're gonna
smoke these things.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Arm puns on first down.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
That that began the spiral. But okay, if anybody would
have told you they're going to lose that game, you
you would have thought they're crazy. But okay, I don't
understand how. Maybe nationally it's a cute story the two
old guys played each other, but consider the run up

(02:53):
in a short week, Jamar Chase announced they did exactly
what they thought we were were what we thought they
were going to do in anticipation of trying to stop
me and my other high end pass catcher in t Higgins,
both of us receiving throws off the right arm of
a decrepit old man named Joe Flacco and Mike Tomlin. So,

(03:17):
while Jamar Chase is watching game tape anticipating what the
Steelers defense is going to do, Mike Tomlin is busy
belly achin about Andrew Berry trading that old man from
one orange hatted, Ohio based football team to another, as
if this is the end of the world. So he's
mad about that, And at the same time, Cam Hayward

(03:37):
is having hilarious conversations about how icy Hot is sponsoring
this old man bull and it was just delightful. It
was all delightful stuff. And then somehow on the other
side of that game, it takes on this this cute
kind of hue of like he's their kryptonite. They just

(03:58):
can't handle that Joe black On No matter.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
What they try.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
This sucks. Joe Flacco is now the personification he used
to be a legit. We talked about this, you know whatever,
it was six, eight, ten years ago, fellas when we
would talk about, Hey, Joe Flacco is nails when he
comes into Hines. That's what they used to call actors. Sure,

(04:25):
when he comes into Hines, he always, no matter how
many how much things go against him in the first
three quarters, he keeps on shooting. And man, he is
tough to deal with no matter what, no matter how
good the defense is and all of that. That's not
who we're talking about anymore. This is a decrepit old man.
If I didn't mention it yet, he is a punchline
of a guy who cannot handle any NFL defense outside

(04:50):
of the Pittsburgh Steelers. By the way, who put that
defense together, Who hand picked the members of the secondary? Oh,
I know who it was. It was the guy who
is an alleged defensive whiz, and and he hands.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
He wasn't gone, and then and then.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
He said, this defense has a chance to be historic,
and getting torched by a decrepit old man on some
level is history because no other team would would, would
would suffer the shame, the indignity of getting smoked over
and over and over again by a guy, a decrepit
old man who's been in been a part of the

(05:32):
organization in Cincinnati for about for about third or or
for about three hours. What a humiliation to put to
put that effort out onto the field. And by the way,
it will carry over, I really do. I'm not trying
to get pessimistic about this, but all of a sudden,
for all the songs about it. We talked one week

(05:53):
ago that if they just they had to have this game,
they just had to take care of this one because
the gauntlet is now here. So they were five and
one and Lamar Jackson is on his way back. A
four game cushion would be a really fascinating proposition to
see if the Ravens could close that gap over the
final two thirds of the season. Now the Steelers are

(06:16):
right on the edge here. I mean they're a home
dog against these Packers and Aaron Rodgers. Like I loved,
I loved all these ruminations about his time in Green Bay.
It really is Don Draper and the elevator with with
with with the other guys. Jordan Love and the Packers
are looking are looking at looking back at the junior

(06:38):
copywriter named Aaron Rodgers, saying I don't think about you
at all. I mean, the Packers couldn't give a crap
about the Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
I think your larger.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yes, this is like all you need to do is
look at Sean Payton and Russell Wilson's behavior this past
week and realized it is not above any NFL coach
and or frances to hold grudges for long periods of time.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
They want the validation too, to prove that they knew
what they were doing and they made the right decision
to move on.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Exactly why people haven't the last three years already done
that when they say success is the best revenge, haven't
they succeeded?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Then?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Jordan Love has proven to be the right decision, so
that Aaron that Aaron Rodgers now apply some twenty twenty
high tight, Like, yeah, I always knew when they drafted
Jordan the writing was on the wall. For me, I
just had to move on, Like then, why did you
shout constantly and try to get the front office fired

(07:39):
and all of that, and they don't know what they're
doing and they were disloyal and all of that.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Well, but.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's got nothing but love for Aaron Rodgers. I mean,
Aaron Rodgers, you know, and Jordan love have a great relationship.
And while I, you know, agreed with all of the
reasons why I didn't think they should bring Aaron Rodgers
in at the beginning of the season, he has not
done any of those things here, and we you know,

(08:06):
his past behavior was the reason why seventy five percent
of Steeler fans did not want him to come here.
I mean, I'd always talk about it. At the Comedy
Festival this year, I said, so is everyone excited about
Aaron Rodgers as your new quarterback? And that was in
the middle of the summer, and the entire audience booed,
you know, and like, I think it's so. But my
point is he's learned from all that stuff. He's not

(08:29):
doing it here.

Speaker 7 (08:30):
And he's won over all all the women in and he.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Is the least of our problems. Like do I think
that he is?

Speaker 1 (08:37):
His attitude is representative of how he really feels right now.
And is there some revisionist history going on so that
he can, from a pr standpoint, come out of this
looking a.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Little bit better.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yes, absolutely, that's just smart by him, all right, Like
I know the real acrimony that existed there and the
way they are glad he's gone right now. The Pittsburgh
Steelers have big problems, and he's way down on the
list of those problems.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
I Bowman, you and me park our cars in the
same garage. Absolutely, you cannot look at Aaron Rodgers. And
in fact, as I got myself all wild up there
talking about being up to nothing in him taking that
deep shot and and all of that in Cincinnati, something Jahn.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Roethlisberger would have done, you know, in every year of
his career.

Speaker 8 (09:25):
Yeah, we.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
The nitpicking about how well the offense missed the play here,
and maybe there are three plays you can point to
over the sixty minutes that they could have done better,
and maybe there's a penalty and whatever. I mean, it's
all on the defense. It is entirely on the defense
cannot You cannot hang thirty something on the bum Bengals

(09:49):
and lose that game when they are down and out
and again are show and are are so desperate that
they're starting a decrepit old man at quarterback. But now
here come the repercussions because the Packers are straight up
better than the Steelers are. I mean, the Steelers defense is.

(10:10):
It's not just like something that you point at and say, boy.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's a shame.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I thought that was going to be better. This was
the construct of Mike Tomlin. It was all leading up
to this. And keep in mind, I understand that the
aforementioned Sean Payton pulled off the big rally against the Giants,
but Jackson Dart once again looked real good, and the

(10:35):
Steelers need an answer quarterback that goes beyond twenty twenty
five and even twenty twenty six. The news this week, well,
now the Steelers want Airon back for twenty twenty six. Man,
you're really pushing things here, do I mean? Guys, this
age do not succeed long term. But okay, so you
didn't need to take Jackson Dart because you prioritized Derek Harmon.

(11:00):
I'll say again Derek Harmon better be real, real, real, real,
real good to offset the potential of taking Jackson art
and solving the only position that really matters.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Especially because next year's uh, you know, quarterback class is
looking less and less elite as each college football week
goes by.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
And did we talk about that? Did we? Did?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
We talk about that all spring and summer that this
is exactly where it was going. Where's Arch?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Now?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Is Arch the savior for the Pittsburgh Steelers? No, he's
going to be back in Austin unless he gets transferred
out out of there. How about Drew Aller? Remember all
the buzz about him? Hey, Kiboley, where are you at there?
He's going to end up being the number one overall
pick there? I don't think so he's not. He's going
to be back in the mix.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
We weren't going to have to trade out to get
him now, yeah, I mean right?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
But Florio is already reporting that the Steelers want to
bring Aaron Rodgers back for next year. And of course
they would even if they did have their number one
on you know, quarterback ideal candidates available to them, which now,
as we just said, all of them are starting to
lose have pretty much lost their luster. You had to
bring him back a little hard, dude.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
I mean, yeah, now that's exactly where I was at.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
By the way, you are stuck with Will Howard being
the great White Hope stuck.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Hey, I like you want to you want need to
sprinkle in just a little bit more pessimism for you
about twenty twenty six. I don't think Arthur Smith's going
to be there. So if you're getting excited about the offense,
he's probably going to be coaching in UNC or otherwise.
Because another thing, like we've talked about, when you draft
into and sign guys around what a severe offensive offensive

(12:41):
coordinator requires for his offense to work, you're going to
be left hold in the bag because he's going to
get a head coaching job when he succeeds, which he
will do. Now, assuming this offense keeps going like that,
Arthur Smith will be gone. He will succeed and get
a head coaching job again. And then who's running this
offense that required certain pieces to work? We have seventeen

(13:02):
tight ends on the roster. Now, I mean that's what
a more conventional O seed in twenty twenty six and
be like, what the hell do you want me to
do with all these guys. But before we get to that, though,
just consider and I know everybody's aware of it, but
just really what was what was feeling very exciting? People
are getting the getting the gay number one seed. Maybe

(13:22):
they could get that, And like we've talked about, they
have to get the number one seed in order to
have a plausible path to the Super Bowl. I mean,
they're not going to win three games against high end
competition that maybe if they have a home game in
the wild card round and then have to go to
say Buffalo or Kansas City, are they plausibly going to
win all three of those games? Seems unlike the number

(13:43):
one seed. But of course the way Tomlin approaches every
game trying to win them twelve to eleven, leads to
some weird losses along the way. So it takes the
one set out of play here and now all of
a sudden, we're at the Gauntlet and now we go
Green Bay, which, I you know, for all the all
the emotion and all the stories like we talk about Bowman,

(14:03):
you're right, they got to win this game because then
they go Colts come into town, then they come out
here to La to play the Charge.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
The Colts are.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know, our best help with the Colts is that
they'll be due for a loss.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I mean that's hoping for a lot there. That's like, hey,
the dealer keeps hitting twenty one, he's bound the hit
twenty three at some point, right, let's let's go heavy.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Think they've scored less than thirty this year.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
Maybe Jonathan Taylor will pull his hamstring running for early
ninety yard touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, by the way, I hate to pat myself on
the back of Wait a second, no, I don't. I
predicted that the Colts were going to win that division,
and everybody laughed at the time, and nobody's laughing anymore,
and they won't be laughing. Last Colt the Chargers.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
And then I mean they have the Titans this week.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Colts have the Titans this weekend before the Steelers. So
here's why they're going to lose to the Steelers. Going
to be due for a loss, and it's in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Dude, what would you put on You put twenty dollars
on that last han Yeah, he hit blackjack again. Let's
this time, let's go two thousand. It's our chance to
make it back. He's bound He's not gonna do it again,
is he? They thought to go to Detroit, they still
have to go to Chicago, who, all of a sudden
is pretty good.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
They think.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
This weekend by I got Buffalo too.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Well, I you know what Bowman, Yeah, they and Buffalo.
I mean, sweet Jesus Fellas, this is all of a sudden,
feels real grave. I mean, I think they're going to
and I said eleven wins before the season started. As
I look things over here, I think they're going to
really struggle to get to double digit wins. I mean
they I think the offset the shame. Did I mention

(15:50):
that they lost to decrepit old man? So wait, they
now need to be defeat the youngster named Jordan Love
to offset that terrible and get back to square here.
They just have to.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Do there's one way they could do it, maybe playing
Nick Herbig a little more than you know, thirty two
percent of the snaps.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Well, listen, you understand that that Kyle Shanahan's he's an
offensive wiz, and he proved that a few years back
because he went to a Super Bowl and almost won
that Super Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo
and Kevin Coleman is his feature back meantime in Pittsburgh,
there's a defensive whiz named Mike Tomlin, and he has

(16:31):
Jalen Ramsey, and he has Joey Porter and U and
he has Darius Slay. There these are the guys he won.
He went out of his way to get you understand,
and then he talked about how good this defense was
going to be this year and it just got destroyed
by decrepit.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
A all right, all right, okay, you're you're failing the factor
in that. Maybe when coach Tomlin said historic, he meant
like the Princeton eighteen sixty team.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Hm. Did I wait? Did I think bad about Green Bay?
I know, I wrap up in my fields all.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
You're spiraling.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
You're going to see him in the bus stop.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
You're spiraling all the rest of this over and over
and over again on a loop.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Now, look when when he goes uh, you know, when
when it's all said and done, Aaron Rodgers goes away
from the public eye, and by that I mean signs
a multi year deal to be on every Sunday on
the NFL on Fox. He is going to remind you
of all of these. This is he's setting himself up.
From a pr standpoint for his after playing days, I
have no problem with what he's doing, even from.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
A tactical standpoint with them.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Again, he I'll go so far to say, is he's
not just low on our list of problems. He's not
on the list. Their problems are all Mike Tomlin's defense.
A defensive line that has no ability to stop the
run against Chase Brown. Good lord, what are they going
to do against Josh Jacobs and TJ Watts invisibility in

(18:02):
games like this That cannot be the case. We have
not even mentioned number ninety's name. He's the highest play
paid player in the world.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Go out and do something.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, man, you said it all. I am not hanging
any of this on the performance of of all number
eight there. This is right, This is this is a
an approach issue.

Speaker 9 (18:27):
This is this is.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Mike Tomlin's approach, and it goes back to springtime, and
it's all informed by the decisions he made with the
con artist.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
By the way, Okay, but I agree with all what
you're saying, But we got to focus on this game
on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
No, we have to go back to you know, what
would Rogers to focus on is a receiver other than
than DK Mettaff. Unfortunately, the con artist and coach he
forgot to get a second wide receiver for two years.
For two years that the con artist he's working over
broke football, except for the fact that he forgot together

(19:06):
a viable second pass catcher in the offense for two
years running.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Now, look out, NFL.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
I got two words for you that sound like three.
Ben Scarronic. You might have heard of him touchdown.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I can't believe that there's so many Pittsburgh's out there
that will still hit me up on social media when
I got When I talk about that the empirically obvious
bad decision to trade away George Pickens in a contract year,
people will be like, Dave, you can't have that guy
in the in the locker room. So the Cowboys are
talking about resigning him. He's been so good this year.

(19:45):
I mean, that's the idea that in his contract year
that he wouldn't understand that he has to behave himself
so that he can set up his family for the
next hundred years with generational wealth. It was was foolish stuff,
especially when and you had as as the the UH uh,
the make good by trading away. George Pickens like, well,

(20:07):
we have one hundred and twenty pound Calvin Austin.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
He's good.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Everybody right, he'll there's no chance he'll ever get banged
up or anything. And plus Roman Wilson, Yeah, we're not
gonna put him on the field, but but but never.
And then we got we got Robert Woods, who was
good twenty seven years ago as pro football. I forgot whatever.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Happened, Yeah he was, Yeah, he's Robert Woods gets cut
and there does it make a sound.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
He's in the witness protection program.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
You know, you did make me realize that with Arthur
Smith leaving, we basically like have funded a seafood restaurant
and our chef is leaving, and we're like, what are
we gonna do with all these lobsters?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
I guess I guess shrimp company. All we got is
shrimp here, guys, I guess we got to hire someone.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Who can make you gonna be twenty twenty thick, gonna
be John new Smith. Year They're like, well, Arthur, Arthur
Smith is now in chat up well Hill, like John
new Smith. We should trade him. We can get a
good a good second wide receiver for maybe George picking
down Dallas Way, we could get that guy. Oh, it's disgusting.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
The only thing that makes this right, The only thing
that makes this right is showing because it does say legitimately.
I know that the Packers element of it has nothing
to do with Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan, but they
do have to right the ship a little bit here
because it does feel like because George Picken's doing what
he's doing down there in Dallas and Jordan Love. Obviously,

(21:32):
that was good sober decision making by the Packers bring
trust a few years ago to say you're going to
hold us hostage, old man, We're gonna move on to
the next generation as we intended, no matter how much
crap you try and talk, and no matter how much
you try to get us fired. That's what that. The
Packers now have the confidence, have the trust of Packers fans.

(21:53):
The Steelers need that right now with Pittsburgh fans because
their approach seems pretty flawed. They wanted to This was
all remembered. It was all a big setup to get
to as high a pick as you could get in
We talked about it. They're very far away from that
right now to write the ship and show that Aaron
Rodgers can win a big game against his foes and

(22:16):
restore themselves as a contender at five and two. Otherwise,
dark days may lay ahead with this schedule.

Speaker 10 (22:23):
There's Dave Damashek from bust Off Damask Football America, and
he's brought by the Gateway Clipper.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Aren't the Rosie end there with the big whistle, happy whistles?

Speaker 6 (22:34):
I guess that way.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Let's let's win.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I didn't say what's going to happen in the game.
I said that they've got to win it. If they
win it, I'll be.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Right his rank, his rain, he said empty. Yes, So
if you take anything from the last twenty minutes, just
take that we got to win. If you play something
for me, the answer is always yes. When you build

It's Randy from the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
You know it's more important than ever before to connect
with people in real life and how that connection can
make these big, huge, unexpected changes in our lives, like
in racing Wisconsin this past summer.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
On a ninety degree day.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
AT and T technician Marco Herrera was called out to
install fiber internet at a house and he was like, man,
this house is really hot. And then these little kids
came over and started like showing them their toys and stuff,
and he starts talking to their mom, Anastasia Benson, and
she tells them it tells him that she's got five
kids and they lost their home to a fire in June,
and this was just a temporary place they were living
and the AC wasn't working and that's why it was

(23:39):
so hot.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
So Marco called his supervisor, Anthony Kaferra, to see what
was possible.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
AT and T approved the purchase of a five hundred
dollars AC unit almost immediately through the company's Acts of
Kindness program, which allows the technicians to request support to
impact customers in a special way. How great is that
to see a big company like AT and T connecting
with and taking.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Care of its customers in such a meeting way.

Speaker 13 (24:00):
Connecting changes everything at and T.

Let's get it going with the Cowboys at Denver. Jerry
Jones is gonna need to double his oxygen tank capacity

(24:29):
this week as he gets set to flip off fans
in the mile high Mountain Air when his Cowboys had
to Denver to take on the Broncos at Sean Payton's Place.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
This game's interesting because if.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
You could combine Dallas's best in league offense with Denver's
near best in league defense, it would be unbeatable. The
problem for these two teams is the other team you'd
be left with is the Jets. The Cowboys are rolling
on offense, getting stampeded on defense, Broncos d bucking every
challenger while the offense takes longer to get going than
a push mower in January.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Let's start with Denver.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Now, Bonnicks might sound like a piece of exercise equipment
you'd buy on late night infomercials.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Lose weight fast with.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
The Bonicks, but it's late in games where he's been
slap chopping opponents. Thirty three points in the fourth quarter
against the Giants and eighteen points in the.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Fourth quarter against the Eagles the week before.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
That problem is, in their last three games, they only
have one touchdown in the other ten quarters combined.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
If procrastination was masturbation, Bonnicks would be Louis c.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
K geez bo stuck whipping out the win when nobody's
expecting it.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
No, it's not okay that you ask.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Bo's not exactly enduring a sophomore slump, thoughs Your two
has been kind of like Pooting the Blowfish's second album.
It went triple platinum, but people were still hoping for
a little bit more after the first one. This week,
Sean Payton warned his team against the letdown after the
big win against the Giants and got them focused on
the Cowboys by continuing to fight publicly with Russell Wilson.
Man obsessed much, Sean, show me on the Tackling Dummy

(25:58):
where Russ hurt. You already humiliated beyond belief. You've been vindicated.
Nobody likes a sore winner, Sean, unless it's a herpes contest,
then you'd want to be the sore winner. I guess
you'd get a trophy filled with Voucher. I don't know
why you talking about this. You weird For Dallas. Dak
is all the way back, and in each of his
last four games he's thrown at least three touchdowns without
a pick. Only Brady Rogers, Manning, Russ and Breeze have

(26:20):
done that, which puts him in more rarefied nfl air.
Then they'll deal with it in power field on Sunday.
Dak's got Pittsburgh's problem child, George Pickens mossing players like
they were Stephen King and creep Show.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
In Denver shutdown Corner.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Patrick Tretan can't cover both GP and CD, so expect
a lot more tds than Denver's.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
D usually sees.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
The Broncos are wearing throwback Orange Crush jerseys for this one,
but Dallas is gonna be the one that has too
much jolt.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Hey who doesn't love soda humor it ohs puffs.

Speaker 6 (26:49):
Cowboys are gonna bust.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
The Broncos take Jerry's kids.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
Next.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Giants at the Eagles minus seven and a half.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Rematch, second time in three weeks. The g Men face
off against the Eagles. This time it's in Philly and
the weather is cloudy. With a chance of batteries. This
one has got to be a little weird for Philly fans.
They hate everyone from Santa to their own black quarterback,
But Scataboo looks like he should be in the parking

(27:16):
lot of the Link, crawling up to the tailgate and
headbutting the keg dry humping a pothole. He spends more
time in the blue tent than the Smurfs on a
camping trip. The guy runs like a stolen delivery truck
with no brakes or power steering, and if you put
him in Jackson Dart in a tucked McNab jersey and
turtleneck combo, you should just go ahead and start filming

(27:37):
Silver Linings Playbook two right now. They also curb stomped
the eagles in the Meadowlands a couple of weeks ago,
so you best believe they're trying to win this John
in front of their hometown douchebags. That giant ass whooping
might have awoken a sleeping eagle because they soared against
the Vikings last week. Aj Brown didn't have any time

(27:58):
to read on the sidelines in that one. It's too
busy running down the sidelines and scoring touchdowns. Justin Hurtz,
who dresses like he's in a remake of the Eddie
Murphy classic Boomerang threw for over three hundred yards and
three tuddies for the first time in over a year.
He was slinging that John all over to John. The
Giants are a fun team to watch in a frat

(28:19):
bros skateboarding off a roof into the pool kind of way.
I mean, it's crazy, it's exciting to watch. But he
usually ends with the Broncos scoring thirty three points in
the fourth quarter. The Giants have ninety nine problems, but
Mick A. Tomney ain't one. I know how you're gay.

(28:42):
You miss two extra points in the same game. The
Giants cut their Irish kicker quicker than Jacob could swap
T shirts with a stranger that he met at the
Guinness Factory. Eagles win Miss John by double digits.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Neck Bears at the Ravens Ravens minus set. Good news
for Baltimore the defense finally didn't give up four touchdowns
on Sundays. Oh well, bad news is because it was
their bye week. The mortgaand news from Baltimore. No, they're
not getting the Colts back, but Lamar Jackson is expected
to return, and not a moment too soon. In the
two games he was injured, the Ravens only managed one touchdown,

(29:18):
which is why Harbaugh is all too glad to have
Cooper Rush back to the bench instead of onto the field.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
To be fair, the Ravens weren't expecting much from Cooper Rush,
and he delivered. Cooper Rush is.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
The punchline to a mom Can we stop for Andy Dalton? No, honey,
we have Andy Dalton at home?

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Joke.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Kind of a failure of the GM not to have
something better in the break in case of emergency QB box.
The Bears, conversely, are watching Caleb Williams slowly mature into
a less annoying quarterback and Ben Johnson and his team,
he's got him playing like sesame seeds.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
They're on a roll, but nobody's really noticing. You never
noticed in the month.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
It's good and with fort sight wins after dropping the
first two, Ben Johnson could be the f Chicago coach
since George Hallis to win five of his first seven games.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
So suck on that at Deede keik Obwala think we're playing.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Good enough now?

Speaker 4 (30:08):
U Karen Andrews.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
I imagine he says in his head, I think the
Bears are pretty legit, unless you think I'm wearing bear goggles.
Just know this, the Bears eleven interception and plus eleven
turnover ratio leads the league, and they lead the league
in points after takeaway.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Now, this, of course, was potentially.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
More of an issue when Cooper Rush was lobbying interceptions
like Trump throwing toilet paper to hurricane victims. But it
might be something that becomes relevant since it's Jackson's first
game back from injury and you might have a rusty lamar.
By the way, don't look up rusty Lamar in the
Urban Dictionary while you're at work.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
HR will pay a visit to your desk. Why would
you kick you in the hamstring afterwards?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yesterday, John Harbaugh refuted the press reports he's instituted a
no fun rule in the locker room and assured everyone
he's got no problem with players cornholing. And why not,
I mean, so long as they shower after no one
tries to pull a rusty Lamar.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
I don't see what the problem is.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Rokwan's back from injury and will bolster the d against
his former team for the first time as a Raven,
but ever since Baltimore lets standout defensive coordinator Mike McDonald
lee for Seattle, the Ravens.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Keep forgetting two Blake defense no more, and things keep
getting worse for them minute ba minute.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Though you can't get much worse than thirty second in
total defense. As desperate is as Harbaugh is for the
Wind to stay in playoff contention, I don't think he's
got the trap for these Bears. Chicago's on the come
up and there haven't been this many happy Bears since
Pride Week in Provincetown. Take the money line and you
can hibernate on those odds.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
The Bears next.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Jets at Sincy minus six and a half.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Aaron Glenn said earlier this week that he didn't want
to give the Bengals a competitive advantage, so he's not
revealing whether Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor will start on Sunday.
Smart now the Bengals won't know and to kickoff. If
the Jets are gonna suck or blow competitive advantage, you're
oh for the season and just bench the guy you

(32:08):
paid forty million dollars to. Every team left on the schedule.
Has a competitive advantage, and the icing on this piece
of sheet cake was the best throw of anyone on
the Jets this week. Was the owner throwing Justin Fields
under the bus, saying, if we could just complete a pass,
it would look good. It's a shame they don't have

(32:30):
Joe Flacco because he can complete sixteen passes to the
same receiver even when the defense knows it's coming, and
he doesn't even know all the plays. What's that? They
had Joe Flacco two different times and then okay, then
he was backing up Namath and Testa Verdi. No Sam
Darnold and Zach Wilson. The Jets is the Jets, no wonder.

(32:54):
The young fans hate that team and only root for
them because they were born into this and have no
other choice. What's that? Tyrod Taylor is now day to
day with a knee injury. He hit himself in the
hammer just so he doesn't have to play, and Justin
Fields has been dealing with a toe injury since training camp.
All right, well, maybe send both of them out there
and let's see if Tony Tony Tony can complete a pass.

(33:18):
The only player in this matchup who can get a
Tony Tony Tony reference is Joe Flacco and he plays
for the Brangles this season. Brangus, he's still playing because
he wants to look in the mirror when he's fifty
and say he gave it everything he had that seemed
like a week ago. Try not to get two injured

(33:38):
this year, because the Steelers are gonna need you healthy
when you join the team in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Take the Brangles next, Dolphins at Atlanta. Minus seven and
a half is the owner of the Miami Dolphins. Just
three kids in a trench coat standing on each other's
shoulders who are playing a prank on the rest of
the league.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
How does Mike McDaniel still have a job?

Speaker 1 (33:59):
The actual must have been one of those psycho kids
that picked the wings off of flies and then slowly
melted them with a magnifying gleut.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Just squatch them already.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Too bad Mike McDaniel still having a coach this team.
He must feel like football Sisyphus. That is, if Sisiphus
wore clam diggers in vape while he pushed the boulder
up the help and I love the phrase people keep
using about Mike McDaniel now because they always allude to
his appearance and they'll say.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
He's no leader of men. It always feels kind of
gay to me. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Teddy Bruski was like, I've watched all his sorry excuses
for press conferences, and I'm sorry, but I just look
at that guy and.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
He's no leader of men, and he does nothing from
my downstairs. Doesn't turn me on at all.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Meanwhile, the coach Teddy Bruski played for and thinks his
super butch is now sporting a solid Sea cup and
being told what to do by a twenty four year
old hooker with the business acumen of a golden retriever.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
You know, a real much of a leader of men,
that Belichick.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
It's only a matter of time at this point until
the Dolphins bring in a buff, authoritarian coach. It's a
copy league, and beefcake coaches are all the right. Dan Campbell,
Sean McAboy, Andy Reid, Well heat he eats a lot
of beef and cake that counts as beefcake right yesterday,
too has said he has trouble finding receiver Jaalen Waddle

(35:16):
because he's not tall enough to see over the offensive line.
You know, I don't care if the next coach he
hires the rock you can't make two a taller or
stop saying dumb things when he's at the podium. At
least in Atlanta, Kirk Cousins can give two us some
pointers on how to make fifty million dollars while holding
a clipboard.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
They paid him too.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Much and now they got to put him into it
a game, even though they read to send them to
it a bench and that's to a bed. Miami is
already without Tyreek Hill, who, while being carted off the
field with a season ending injury, he celebrated like Mary
just told him.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
You are not the father, and now.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Their next best offensive weapon. Darren Waller was putting ir
He's out for the season and out of his misery.
The Falcons aren't great, but at home with b John
running wild, they're gonna jam it down to Dolphins.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
Blowhole. But seven points is a lotch. Did you take
the points though, and been on Miami?

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Well, you know, as the Dolphin would tell you here, eh.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
No, play it pretty far. Atlanta take the Falcons.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Next last one, Packers at Steelers plus three.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
This is not a revenge game. Okay, guys, it's not
it's not for Rogers. He has no animosity towards the
Packers organization. And maybe it's because absence makes the fart
grow honder.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
He spent eighteen years there, guys, he grew up there.
That's where he got immunized. That's where he saw the
Epstein list for the first time. A ton of great memories,
and he loves the guys he played with, and the
relationship with the coach was great. He never screamed and
swore at him just for calling a timeout or having
a conservative play call. And guess what, Lafleur loves him too.

(36:56):
You never traded up in the twenty twenty draft to
get George Love to replace them. That wasn't his choice.
That was a call passed down directly from the board
to cheese heads, voted on by the bradtholders. Could he
have traded up to draft Aiyuk or Justin Jefferson or
Ceedee Lamb for Rogers instead. Maybe, But it's not like

(37:18):
Aaron Rodgers complained about them never drafting a receiver in
the first round for the entire time he was there.
And it's not like they drafted a wide receiver this
year when the draft was in Green Bay. It's not
a revenge game, guys, so go to hell unless you
listen to rogers longtime teammate and offensive lineman David Bachazi's

(37:40):
I'm sorry. He actually thinks all the back and forth
pleasant trees are a bunch of gorgan zola. He thinks
this is a really big game for both sides. Rogers
doesn't hold grudges. It's not like he downplayed the Jets
game and then dropped four tds in that game and
said afterwards that he was happy to be everybody associated

(38:01):
with the Jets. Aaron Glenn, the front office, the players
fireman ed that stupid kid that doesn't realize he doesn't
have to be a fan just because he was born
into it. He's still young enough to get out of
the death sentence that is being a Jets fan. This
is definitely a revenge game for far Love and Rogers
are both getting deep picks late Sunday afternoon and they're

(38:23):
gonna have to deal with that. But revenge isn't the
biggest R word coming for this Sunday night. This game
is about resilience. Can the defense bounce back from the
stumble in the jungle stumble. This game is about playing responsible.

(38:43):
Can they stay in their gaps and play sixty minutes
of sound football? Can they stop the run? Can they
remember to cover the Packers' best receiver? Can they figure
out a better linebacker rotation? Can they not repeat they
hate their mistakes? Can they not rupture and look repugnant

(39:04):
and not play with their head up there rectum? Because
I swear to God, if they come out in a
soft zone and get run on and routed, I'm gonna
need a rope, a razor and a reforce.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
I'm taking the Steelers because.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
We need to write up our reputation.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
There you go, Six pigs for you over this weekend,
guaranteed to probably maybe possibly win.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Good morning folks.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Doing pretty good and excited for the game on Sunday night.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
What did you make of the tenor the tone coming
out of both locker rooms yesterday?

Speaker 15 (40:34):
Well, you know, if you listened to Aaron Rodgers before
the Jets game and after the Jets game, he was
a little different.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
Although I think his time in New.

Speaker 15 (40:43):
York was certainly a lot more frustrating, and he was
more bitter about that situation than his years in Green Bay.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
And I think he's being very smart about it.

Speaker 15 (40:53):
I don't think he has the same bitter feelings about
the Packers certainly as he did about the Jets. So
I think if they win this game, he might be
a little more a little more braggetocius afterwards than he
was before.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
But he's a season that he's smart.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
I'm not worried about the offense. That seems like behind
Aaron Rodgers, they're able to figure things out. Frustrating though
it may be at times, every week seems to get
a little better in that regard, though I hated the
way they approached that Bengals game and didn't put the
pedal down early defensively. You know, we were talking about

(41:32):
this earlier. I don't know if we've revealed our I
revealed our identity against the Bengals, or if that's the aberration.

Speaker 15 (41:41):
No, let's talk about the elephant in the room, Randy.
The defense stinks. It stunk last year and it stinks
this year. They gave up almost five hundred yards to
a team that had a quarterback in their.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Uniform for barely a week.

Speaker 15 (41:57):
They'd allowed thirty or more points three of their last
six games, they've allowed one hundred or more rushing yards,
and eight of their last twelve games.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
If you go back to last year.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
I do not.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
I've said this on the show before.

Speaker 15 (42:09):
Torell Austin continues to get a halt pass all the
time as the defensive coordinator of this team. I never
hear anybody criticize the guy when they ran Matt Canada
out of town, chanting his name even at Penguin games
to fire the guy because the offense stunk. So it's
probably it's one of two reasons. He's a terrifically nice man,

(42:30):
so maybe nobody wants to criticize them.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Everybody knows that Tomlin's running.

Speaker 15 (42:34):
The defense anyway, but one of their buds should be
held to the fire. Mike Tomlin's first six years, man,
you're gonna get me going here. His first six years
as head coach, their defense was no worse than fifth
in any of those six years. In the last five years,
it's been no better than twelve. Despite they keep throwing
money at it and throwing money at it and throwing

(42:56):
money at it.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
They're terrible.

Speaker 15 (42:58):
And if it wasn't for a great turnover margin, I mean,
their most impressive winners is it's turning out is that
win In New England, Patriots are now five and two,
and it took five Patriot turnovers to win that game.
Then they won't get five turners. Well, I'll bet they
won't get five turnovers in a game the rest of
the year. If they don't win the turnover battle. They do,

(43:18):
they are more likely to stop the other team with
an interception or a fumble recovery than they are to.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Force him to punt. The Bengals scored on seven of
their last eight.

Speaker 15 (43:27):
Possessions last week. It's a screen door on a submarine.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
Guy, Your your ins are just bumped into my ins er.
It's like one of those little ghosts where the you know,
the voice triggers another one and I start going because
I believe that the loophole that Tomlin has found defensively
is to be opportunistic to get those turnovers because you
can win games early in regular seasons to doing that.

(43:56):
Like we've seen it so many different times. When the
when the narrows and you get into the postseason, you're
paying you're playing against better quarterbacks, better coordinators, and teams
that are watching out and being conservative and protecting the ball.
Those turnovers go away and you get dog walked up
and down the field. You bend and then you break

(44:19):
in the postseason, Well, Bill, I think one of.

Speaker 15 (44:23):
The biggest things is how how bad they have been
against the run. There's so much less likely a chance
of getting a turnover when teams just run it down
your throat. Uh not that every you know, you can
still fumble the ball, as the Patriots did four.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Times that game.

Speaker 15 (44:37):
But but you know, I think and Cam Hayward's right,
that's the number one thing they gotta fix. They gotta
be able to stop that. There's no way Joe Flacco
has that game if.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
They're not running the ball the way that they were.

Speaker 15 (44:48):
I mean, it just played right into their hands. But
and and and you know, Mike Tomlin talked about at
the halftime interview that game. He's like, oh, we got
to do better on first and second down and stop,
you know, so that we can off the.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Field on third down.

Speaker 15 (45:01):
They allowed a third and fourteen, a third and ten
conversion in the first half of that game.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
That wasn't that. They were all third and twos and
third and ones.

Speaker 15 (45:10):
Their third down conversion against is forty two percent.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
It's one of the worst in the league.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
I think the first one they converted was third and thirteen.

Speaker 15 (45:18):
Yeah, I mean, you know, if it was a bunch
of and that happens a lot.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
I never doing a story one time. In fact, this
is one of the first time that Stan.

Speaker 15 (45:26):
You know, when when I first started working with Stan,
the Steelers played a game in Dallas and I covered
it in Dallas and Stan would always he couldn't travel
that week for some reason. I had to do a
sidebar story, and I was thinking, I got to come
up with something here that's that's of interest, that makes sense,
or his stand's not going to be impressed. And the
Steelers that they had allowed like fifteen third down conversions,

(45:51):
but the average distance on the third down conversions was
like third and two, so's that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
They were giving up way too much on the first two.

Speaker 15 (45:58):
Now I got back Stendos, you really know your football,
and I'm like, okay, good, We're in.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
But that has not been the case.

Speaker 15 (46:06):
They can't get off the field regardless of what the
distance is on third down.

Speaker 16 (46:09):
Matt Williams so frustrating.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Matt Williamson had this stat he tweeted out last night.
Pittsburgh's defense surrenders thirty eight point three yards per drive
worse in the league. They're also on the field for
seven point two plays per drive.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
Only Miami is worse.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
And their opponents are averaging twenty more plays.

Speaker 15 (46:31):
Well, yeah, yeah, And when you're on the field that
long and you're already an old team by the fourth quarter,
what do you got left in the tank? You know
a couple of years ago, you know, fans would complain
because they were They would try to win games twenty
to seventeen, fourteen to nine like that because their defense
was good, and after Roethlisberger left they couldn't seem to

(46:54):
find an offense. Well, I don't know what's more frustrating.
You put up over thirty points and you still can't
win the game. It's more entertaining, But I think it's
even more frustrating.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Do you think Mike Tomlin would ever allow someone else
to run the defense? Do you think Art Rooney might
ever come to him and go, hey, next time we
get a Brian Flores come through here, we want to
keep him and we want to just make you the
head coach the end.

Speaker 15 (47:21):
I don't know if Art Rooney would do that, Dan
Rooney would have done it, or Art such a laid
back guy, you don't know what goes on behind closed doors.
Tomlin seems to rule the roost, and I think it's
hard to you know, back in the day, you know,
they made Chuck Nol fire Tony Dungey and he didn't
want to.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
So they've done stuff like that in the past.

Speaker 15 (47:44):
But it doesn't seem like art rules with the arn
fist that Dan did, or takes that active of a role.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
In making those kind of decisions.

Speaker 15 (47:53):
But we don't really know, you He just is so
mellow and down to earth all the time behind closed door.
I remember he told me one time, you know, when
he's watching a road game, if he doesn't if he
is watching the game on TV, he's screaming at it,
throwing stuff like like everybody else.

Speaker 7 (48:10):
I would to watch that stream.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
So how do you see this going on Sunday night?
I think you're gonna lose?

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Hm, I just I think.

Speaker 15 (48:22):
I mean green Bay on he has one loss, although
it was the Cleveland but it was Joe Flacco and uh.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
Didn't do anything in that game. Green Bay absolutely gave
them that win.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
Yeah, and then you know what.

Speaker 15 (48:34):
The Steelers are good news, you know, and then in
home primetime games they're good. They're they're more rested because
they did play on Thursday, and I'd love to see
them win. I just don't green Bay's. Green Bay beat Detroit,
they beat Washington, and I come from behind win against Arizona.
It was was pretty impressive. The Cardinals aren't great, but
they still had to come from behind and that Dallas
game and then ended in the time. I just think

(48:56):
Green Bay is a better team right now. I don't
trust his defense at all.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Guy Junker, brought to you by Edgar Snyder Associates this
morning on DV. Guy, thanks so much, buddy, appreciate. We'll
talk to you next week.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Okay, guys, see it.

Speaker 14 (49:08):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Independence Health System Expert Care here at
Steelers Pro Shop. Get it direct from the team at
shop dot Steelers dot com.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 17 (49:20):
When the Steelers and Packers face off on Sunday Night
Football this weekend, it will mark the first time that
Aaron Rodgers will face the franchise he once played eighteen
seasons for, and over those eighteen seasons with the Packers,
Rodgers racked up one hundred and forty seven regular season wins,
eleven playoff victories, four MVP Awards, and a Lombardi Trophy
with a win in Super Bowl forty five. With a
victory Sunday night, Rogers will become just the fifth quarterback

(49:41):
in NFL history to have defeated all thirty two NFL franchises,
joining Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Brett Favre.
An impressive group with each member either in or going
to be in the Hall of Fame one day.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
But speaking to the media.

Speaker 17 (49:53):
Earlier this week, Aaron Rodgers swore that this wasn't a
revenge game for him against his former team. However, the
importance of a Steelers win Sunday against the PA can't
be understated. Standing in the way of Rogers and the
Steelers from accomplishing that is a strong Packers defense led
by a dominant pass rush that's headlined by superstar Micah Parsons.
Parsons had three sacks last week against the Arizona Cardinals
and the Packers win his best game so far as

(50:14):
a Packer. Neutralize the all pro pass rusher is going
to be a major key to the Steelers having.

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Success Sunday night.

Speaker 17 (50:20):
Kickoff between The Steelers and Packers is at eight twenty
pm on Tom Opperman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 13 (50:27):
Does your annual screening Mammograham feel like another errand? Independence
Health System is helping to make your healthcare easy?

Speaker 4 (50:34):
Just dry. This is WDE Pittsburgh. Did you ever hear
the Tim Curry Halloween song?

Speaker 8 (50:44):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
I have it saved on my phone? The Worst Witch? Oh,
I have it saved online.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
My brother was like, you have to watch The Worst
Witch with Tim Curry and Fruza back when she was
a young young Tim Curry sings a song in that movie,
a Halloween song. I still don't even understand who he is.
He's like a warlock or something. It doesn't matter, it
doesn't matter, but dude, it's so bad. Honestly, when it

(51:09):
kicks in, it's kind of a banger.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
But the lyrics they could not have spent five minutes.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
One your sister could turn into a bat?

Speaker 4 (51:20):
What your dentist could turn into? Are?

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I justn't he When he says is anyone seen my Dambourne?
I'm like, did Adam Sandler write this?

Speaker 18 (51:28):
No?

Speaker 13 (51:29):
I like the I like the version where they're like, Tim,
We're ready for the Halloween song.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
What Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show. It's a
it's just so ridiculous. It's hard to explain if you
didn't know what we were talking about there. But Abby
put out a really cool video of uh well us
reviewing it with the actual Tim Curry video in there.
And the line in that song that still perplexes me

(51:53):
is that gremlins could ruin your VHS cassettes on Halloween.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
That was their main threat that, well, then you can't
watch your tapes. Yeah, you're gonna have to re dub Beethoven.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Oh, gremlins could get into your VHS casettes. And it's like,
how the hell have I never seen that?

Speaker 1 (52:17):
So I exactly I thought the same thing when I
saw it, only because it's so bad, you would never
watch the whole thing.

Speaker 7 (52:23):
It must have gotten buried.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Yeah, but that song, I would have thought would have
been more of a meme that got thrown because it's
so bad.

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Yeah, like that that Eddie Murphy Party All the Time song.
Right awful, but it kind of became popularized at some point.

Speaker 4 (52:41):
Because it was so awful.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
It's so bad, it's so here's the thing about Eddie
Murphy Party all the time.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
Though, I'm gonna I'm gonna counter you on this. You
think it's a good song. I don't think it's a
bad song.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
I think I think the problem was First of all,
Rick James wrote, He's well that's clear right, yeah. But
Eddie Murphy singing that's what makes the problem people. It's
because and he did the wrong kind of video. He
he's wearing a Cosby sweater doing kind of like a
Carlton dance with Rick James. Like he needed to do

(53:15):
something that was a little more like p funky or something,
you know.

Speaker 5 (53:19):
What I mean, take his shirt off something, anything on
the leather outfits that he wore in his specials.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah, but that was especially when it was it's always
tough for a comedian to make a serious leap right
to like.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
Yes, I would say that the only person that's done
it and done it at an incredibly high level is
Jamie Fox. His R and B album is incredible, incredibly
highly because he has an amazing singing voice.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Agreed, you have to be able to sing. Cal Mooney
has put out a record. Tim Heideker from Tim and
Eric has put out a record with.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
It, you know not but with Eddie.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
He was just such a big comedy star that it
was like, how dare you do this? It got the
same reception. And this is why I think it was
unwarnedted because I didn't think it was that bad of
a song. It was because of who's saying it. When
Garth Brooks did the fake person Chris Gaines.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
Do you remember when he.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Put out a record as a fake Yes, and then
he hosted Saturday Night Live and the musical guest was
Chris Gaines. That was the cringiest thing that has ever
happened in music. I think I can't even equate anything
to the balls it took for him to think that
people would be way into that, kind of.

Speaker 13 (54:40):
Like Taylor Swift writing about Travis's dong. It's like, because
he thought Chris Gaines was really sexy.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
Yes, oh that's oh my god.

Speaker 13 (54:49):
Yes, he was like, I'm gonna try this on, check
this out and this on, and you're like, no, you
look like the the like a magician, That's.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
What he looked like.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
He but like at a kid's party.

Speaker 13 (55:02):
Not a good magician, like a steampunk magician.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
Yeah, like you're in old Vegas.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
He look he looked like one of those guys that
like did those shows where it's like how to pick
up women? Yeah, one of those creeps. Ye, bad move
all the way around. I'm surprised Garth hasn't written a
song about Travis Kelsey's dom just to get back into
the national conversation, to be honest with.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
You, does don't Tom Sigora and Christina Poziski like have
like an ongoing feud with him because because Tom has
has suggested that he could be a serial killer potentially.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
So you have not seen Tom's sketch show on Netflix, no,
because one of the first.

Speaker 4 (55:42):
Sketches is he's Garth Brooks.

Speaker 19 (55:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
Oh, he has a camp full of people. He kills
all these people like and like.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
He he brings them into the camp and like they
wake up and they're like what am I doing here?
And he basically has a prison camp and he kills
all kinds of people. And it's because they've like criticized him,
you know, Uh, he got sued. Tom got sued. I'm
pretty sure by Garth or at least had a season assist,
but he has not let up on it. And when

(56:12):
you watch those Garth Brooks videos, it's hard to not
side with Tom on the level of creepiness is coming
from Garth. But I've had a hard time finding anything
that Garth's actually done, like with like the money he's donated,
Like he has done a lot of good things, but
also he's weird.

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Do you remember that video he made about like, oh
yeah Steelers. Oh it's like his nipples are getting hard.

Speaker 5 (56:39):
He's got that Russell Wilson thing where he's so phony
and inauthentic that you could imagine a completely different life,
not the Chris Gaines one where he's like just a
sexier singer.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
But a killer.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
He was like Taylor Swift before Taylor Swift, though, I mean,
dude plays. I mean, he couldn't get any bigger than
he was. I mean, I guess she's a little more
worldwide than he was. He didn't really have the world
tour kind of power curve grading on a curve.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
Yeah, but I mean she's breaking records. She broke the
record here in Pittsburgh. She sold out Aftershore two nights
in a row, and there were twenty thousand people each
night on the lawn.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
She could have done it four nights in a row.
Do you know how many variations of her album There
were the record she just released for her fans. Yeah,
and in order to like, 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

(57:43):
to buy versions of the same record? Right, she had
like Taylor's version, and then she had thirty one viriatyls.

Speaker 7 (57:50):
What I don't even understand what those possibilities could say.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
One would be like the pink version, and like everything
would be.

Speaker 10 (57:56):
People they're literally just changing the color literally including different
tracks or remixed by so and.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
So or the acoustic version.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
But they all like the fuzzy album, you know what
I mean, Like they literally have different TecTile experiences.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Yeah, and she.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
Sold a ton of them, and there's songs about her
boyfriend's wiener.

Speaker 13 (58:22):
There was an article last 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 made him a part of history. Yeah,
but he was talking about spending like eight thousand dollars
on every version of Life of.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
A Show Girl. He's a plant. That guy's a plant.

Speaker 14 (58:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
Also, I said varietal like it was wine, which is hlarious,
but this has one of the records.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
What if one of the records is all songs about
different body parts of his It's that.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
The pancreas co written by Haywood Banks.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
I mean it could be who knows, but she's figured
it out and I'm just a look, I'm her waiter
because I'm a hater and.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
Uh is that a line? Yeah? My my, all my
haters will become my waiters.

Speaker 13 (59:23):
Yeah, oh okay, Yeah, I'm not even.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Really a hater so much as it's because it doesn't
it's like not a product for me. It's not geared
toward me. It's not something I have to I care about,
you know so much, but it's it's crazy to me
how much she can milk her fans.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
Yeah, I saw it when she came in on that
tour sort of hit this younger generation. You know, my
girls had never really talked about her before, and this
wave came in. Like as soon as that tour started
and the videos started going online and going on reels
and tiktoks and all that kind of stuff, these girls

(01:00:01):
started going crazy for Taylor and just watch it, Like
I just marveled at it like I didn't have an
opinion one way or the other. I'm like, I mean
that the songs are pop songs, like they're they're bangers,
like you put them on. They sound like they belong
on the radio, and all the girls are singing along.
And then I went down there and saw that craziness.

(01:00:21):
Saw the line for her merch truck that looks like
the Steelers Pro Shop merch truck, and the line is
to P and C Park and there's people on blankets
that couldn't even get tickets because they can't afford to
spend five thousand dollars to take their family, and they're
singing every single word, scream singing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
It and crying, and uh, I've.

Speaker 7 (01:00:46):
Never seen anything like that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Tony Iris, ye.

Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
Don't forget he was selling merch out of a trunk.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
There was a line all the way to Station's square.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
His cousin, Lawnie Iris, brought the pants in that van down,
you know.

Speaker 13 (01:01:05):
By the way, one of the best comments that we
got on the Tim Curry video that I loved was
from somebody named Seth who said, there has to be
a DV version of this where we make our own
stream of consciousness. Version where we'd be like, now here's
Jane the reviewing machine.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
Anything can happen on how lloween. Thanks to Dave dama

angry about the Steelers big game, so's guy Boy Guy Guy. Also, Yeah,
but it's because it's the whole you know, foolly once.

Speaker 7 (01:01:47):
Yeah, we see trends with this team.

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
You know, you change out all the players, still can't
stop the run.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
Alex Heismith will be joining us at age fifteen. I
mean I know he's a.

Speaker 5 (01:01:57):
First part of that, so maybe he can fill us in.

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
Yeah, Alex wise guy so angry.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Sean Collier will have the review on the New Springsteen movie,
which I think it's funny that we were kind of
kicking around our ideas of why it might not have
had early good buzz and then the I sent you
guys a review yesterday from uh.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
That guy by the way that it seemed that's his
stick that woke up and chose Yeah, he's uh W
b R and Boston guys.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Sean Burns I think is his name, and he's kind
of well known for being a pretty hard guy to
win over somebody.

Speaker 13 (01:02:34):
Pete and his dunk.

Speaker 4 (01:02:35):
But he hated the Springsteen movie.

Speaker 5 (01:02:38):
Yeah, that came across.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
Hated a little bit. It's cartoonishly reductive. Yes, he had a.

Speaker 13 (01:02:46):
Friend that said, I think I don't like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
Bruce now, guys, that's the funniest review movie. Big Springsteen
fan comes out of the movie. I don't like him anymore.
It's a it's a bad movie.

Speaker 5 (01:03:02):
Is Sean reviewing that?

Speaker 8 (01:03:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:03:03):
Yeah, yeah, oh cool? All right? Uh? And then dreaming
and heavy in the coffee house, Abby, do you have
anything for us?

Speaker 20 (01:03:08):
I do.

Speaker 13 (01:03:09):
News this hour is Barazi by Keystone Basement Systems. What
basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com Times of Clouds and Sun
today a high of fifty two. Saturday clouds with a
high of fifty four, and then Steelers Sunday it's gonna
be a high of fifty six. If you are gonna
go to the game, it's gonna be about forty one
degrees around kickoff.

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
Well, there's gonna be so many Packer fans.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
I am actually I am scared for what we're about
to see. Remember the forty nine Ers game? Yeah, kicked off?
Was it three years ago?

Speaker 5 (01:03:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
My dad's eightieth birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
And everybody sold their tickets to forty nine Ers fawn off,
and the whole stadium was full of Niners fans, and
it was like, in I have a feeling it's going
to be close to that because this is a very
easy game for Steeler fans to sell their tickets for
a night game on a Sunday night. They're not feeling

(01:04:07):
good about the defense right now, but I will tell
you that the tickets that are selling are going for
a lot of money. And that was what happened with
San Francisco. Same thing. People are like, I mean, not
the same circumstance, because I think that was a one
o'clock game, but it was so much money. You're like,
this is three games worth of tickets. I can sell them.

(01:04:29):
I mean, tickets are going for minimum double face value.

Speaker 2 (01:04:32):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:04:33):
Yeah, it's a big game, Aaron Rodgers playing.

Speaker 7 (01:04:36):
It's a big game. First time it's happened all that.

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
But I will say about that forty nine Ers game,
because I was there, that game was non competitive.

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
From the very beginning.

Speaker 5 (01:04:47):
I remember, so those fans got loud and then people left,
and so that made it look way worse than it
was at the beginning.

Speaker 7 (01:04:56):
If it's competitive.

Speaker 5 (01:04:57):
They can show up and actually they ble with the
Steelers fans like you won't be like, oh my god,
this is Steelers taking over the Arizona Cardinals Stadium, or oh,
this is Steelers taking over the Dublin game. Remember in
that Dublin game, we were the only fans that anybody

(01:05:18):
could see for miles and for quarters, and then all
of a sudden they started coming back and they started
doing that stupid clop that they didn't do all game
because they didn't have any reason to. So they got
to come out and play well to keep those cheeseheads quiet.

Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
I'm a little nervous about it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
If they play well, it'll take care of itself, like
you said, but this is going to be I think
fifty to fifty is a possible.

Speaker 4 (01:05:45):
Ratio on Sunday night for the crowd. Really, no, I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:05:51):
I can't imagine that.

Speaker 13 (01:05:52):
I am also nervous about the defense. If I had tickets,
I would not be selling them for this game. Like
I know, like with our jobs, it's tough to do
a night game. If I had tickets, I would not
be selling them. Like October forty one degrees, you have
not scared me out.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
Of a night game.

Speaker 16 (01:06:06):
Come on, get out there.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
I know, yeah, I fifty to fifty might have been
a bit generous.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
But that's how ever, s I am just because you
can tell by watching the ticket market, it's like, oh, they're.

Speaker 4 (01:06:18):
Going for that much. Yeesh, I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
It's usually not Steeler fans doing that. Also, you couldn't
get a hotel in this town for true, like the.

Speaker 7 (01:06:29):
Entire weekend they're coming for this game.

Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
There's no doubt.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
You're going to Butler County to get a hotel. You're
going down to Washington to get a hotel. Because we
know someone who was trying to get hotels. Oh we do, yeah,
and you can't. No, So I'm not trying.

Speaker 4 (01:06:47):
To get all nervous. I'm just saying be prepared.

Speaker 5 (01:06:50):
I got a very funny text from a friend who's
looking for a hotel, and the text was, because where's Cranberry.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Where's Cranberry? That's it's next to the stuffing.

Speaker 7 (01:07:01):
Uh it's yeah, it's just south of Walnut.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
I mean, the Strip district will tell you all you
need to know on Saturday.

Speaker 13 (01:07:10):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
That's your barometer, that's the canary in the coal mine.

Speaker 13 (01:07:15):
I guess So you have friends that are coming in
from Canada or acquaintances that are coming in from Canada.
They're coming in to see my parents. So they met
on a cruise.

Speaker 4 (01:07:27):
Oh, that's hilarious.

Speaker 13 (01:07:28):
My parents are getting wild in retirement. They met some
people on a cruise that are coming in.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
You might want to clarify that.

Speaker 5 (01:07:33):
That's you got a couple of rescue cats.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
These aren't like Pineapple pals, but you got to clarify things.

Speaker 13 (01:07:38):
Listen, I don't know. My parents don't call me that
much anymore. They can do whatever they want. They've earned,
They've earned their fun in their life.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Steelers Packers.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
It's a twenty Sunday night here on DV Michael, I

Speaker 4 (01:08:31):
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for all right, Mike Pursuit has
got your sports right now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
What did you make of what we were saying there
about potential Packer takeover this weekend?

Speaker 22 (01:08:41):
They travel, I mean Sunday night on the road is
a tough one for a fan. I mean you can't
get out of Dodge till the next day.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
But Rogers playing against them, I'm trying to think of,
Like if Ben went and played for the Packers as
a Steeler fan, that wouldn't make me want to go
to Green Bay to watch it? No, not really, because
I would feel like it's gonna be hard enough to
watch it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
I definitely would want to go because I've never been
to Lambeau for a game and.

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
It's such a destination bucket.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
Look, if you're a if you're a football fan, like
I'd be like, Okay, well, there's never going to be
a better excuse than this game.

Speaker 22 (01:09:16):
I guess it depends on the loyalties Steelers fans. Are
you gonna show up and go to the game or
are you gonna just bail and cash out?

Speaker 5 (01:09:24):
Everybody that already sold their tickets is like, well.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
All those tech money people from San Francisco when they
those prices went through the roof and they were Super
Bowl favorites that year, like it was a.

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
Oh yeah they had they had a squad. Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:09:37):
And the other one I saw that mas me was
the Duck Hodges game against Buffalo, which they lost at home,
when Duck.

Speaker 4 (01:09:45):
Through four.

Speaker 22 (01:09:47):
Through a lot of Ducks and they all stayed after
the game like they had the whole lower boy. But
everybody emptied out and they block their banners and everything.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
God, all right, Well Tom's d defense can stop this
from happening. I mean, can't stop him from coming if
they're coming, yeah, especially if they're on the ground.

Speaker 5 (01:10:05):
Yeah, but you can keep them quiet if they're gonna just.

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
Walk ye one hundred yards right to their seat.

Speaker 5 (01:10:11):
That's my point. Like, you didn't see those Vikings fans,
and they were in there in Dublin until the Vikings
started making some noise in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 22 (01:10:19):
I don't know if you guys watched the game last night.
The Chargers ran for two hundred and seven yards against Minnesota.
They're back to being the Chargers. Yeah, they got to
went back to those openings for them.

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
JK.

Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
Dobbins was but I don't know if he's hurt. But
Naji's out for the season.

Speaker 22 (01:10:38):
By the name of Kamani the dal who's a six
round pick out of Troy. Last year he had bucks
seventeen on twenty three.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
Always get these guys then nobody knows, and then they
can run the daylights and then because if it.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
Up, it works well. And it's also a hardball. So
he's just you know, recording running backs.

Speaker 22 (01:10:57):
But I mean the next three games Josh Jacobs rushing
touchdown scoring machine, Jonathan Taylor leading rusher National Football.

Speaker 7 (01:11:07):
League more touchdowns than anybody who's got.

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
Then like it's time to stop the run.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
It's just is I mean, everyone keeps talking about training
for uh second wide receivers, like maybe you need to
trade for a nose tackle.

Speaker 22 (01:11:22):
Well, I mean, theoretically they shouldn't need to supplement the defense.

Speaker 4 (01:11:26):
Where they buy all the groceries, but some of them
have spoiled.

Speaker 22 (01:11:30):
Better than it's you know, they'll do it or they won't,
but but they have to start doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:38):
Do you really think it's coaching or is it the
actual performance? Like is it player? It's a player, the
players are not good enough? Or are they just playing
well below what they should be doing?

Speaker 4 (01:11:52):
The second thing, all.

Speaker 5 (01:11:55):
Right, I mean that at least leaves the door open
for some hope.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
Exactly sports is like, these guys can't play in the NFL,
but jesus, there's eleven games left.

Speaker 22 (01:12:04):
Sports. I brought to you by Bridgeville Plats. By the way,
Rolling Stone loved the Springsteen movie.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
Look you love it.

Speaker 22 (01:12:11):
It's not supposed to be a happy story and a
recreation of concerts.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
It doesn't mean that it's fun to watch, just saying Sean,
I can't wait to hear your now, because Sean, you're
a big Springsteen fan.

Speaker 21 (01:12:23):
Absolutely, so I went in with great anticipation and intrepidation.
Leave it there and more later.

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:12:34):
No, Zach Fraser practice yesterday. If you saw some of
the videos we all post every day, he was walking
around without a helmet. But he said, quote, I think
I'll be fine. Regarding his calf injury, he said he
got hurt on the second series in the Cincinnati game.
It was able to play through the game. It's just sore,
so it looks like that's just a maintenance thing. Calvin
Austin full go for the second consecutive day. A lot

(01:12:59):
of maintenance going on in Green Bay, or so it appears.
A couple of significant practice participation notes for the Packers.
Wide receiver Christian Watson, who's trying to make his way
back from the reserve injured list, limited participation for the
second consecutive day. Lucas van Nets, defensive lineman, did not practice.
Hasn't practiced this week and missed the Cardinal game. Devonte Wade,

(01:13:23):
another defensive lineman, has been limited. He missed the Cardinal game.
They've got a lot of depth the Packers do up front,
so we'll see if there's much of an effect there.
But I think Green Bay is going to be able
to play representative defense. The question is will the stealers.
They've got inconsistency issues. To put it kindly and to

(01:13:47):
defensive coordinator Terrell Austin, those are well apparently easier to
diagnose than they are to solve.

Speaker 23 (01:13:54):
I got a simple answer for you. We have to
stop the run. When you allow teams to run. Then
it opens up all kinds of things.

Speaker 24 (01:14:01):
It opens up play, actually, pass, it opens up the word,
It shrinks your menu because what you do now is
you're doing things to make sure you have to bring
possibly extra guys down to try to stop the run.
So the bottom line is we got to be able
to stop the run, and then I think that opens
up and allows us to play.

Speaker 5 (01:14:17):
Well, yeah, he's right, and got to whip your blocks
and win your matchups.

Speaker 22 (01:14:21):
They got to do it, and you know, stop, stop
getting out of your gap to do your buddy's job
and do yours, and then maybe it'll work.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
But Josh Jacobs is going to be a handful, a handful.
And this is.

Speaker 22 (01:14:36):
Another game where maybe scoring some points would be a
good idea. If you got a chance to jump them
fourteen to nothing or so, take advantage of it because
maybe you can take them out of their run by
putting them behind, which tends to happen.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
Steelers Packers Sunday night.

Speaker 7 (01:14:50):
They're announcing the offense. I'm assuming you got to for
this game, Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
Just Rogers. Just have Rogers come out. It's just going
to walk out, but not carrying any kind a flag
of any kind. We don't want to jinx this big game.
On Sunday night, I mentioned.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
The Chargers a big block of cheese out and then
puts a machete through it and then cuts off his big.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Toe out For the season.

Speaker 22 (01:15:18):
Chargers have been up and down all season, but they're
five and three after thirty seven to ten victory over Minnesota.
The aforementioned Kamani Vidal twenty three carries one hundred and
seventeen yards two hundred and seven rushing yards. They went big,
they got big tight ends, and they played their defensive
linemen slash fullback Scott Mattlock number forty four.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
These are refrigerator range in the NFL. The Browns did it.
Steelers are doing it. He played, Chargers are doing.

Speaker 22 (01:15:45):
It fifty six percent of the offensive snaps. By the way,
how did the Steelers let Brian Flores walk out of
the building? The defense he coordinates in Minnesota gave up
nine to thirteen third downs, four hundred and nineteen total
net yards, seven rushing yards and let the other guys
have the ball for thirty nine minutes and four seconds.

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
How many of his starters are injured? I don't care
that's the NFL.

Speaker 5 (01:16:10):
That game could have gone very differently. Early there was
a pick six that was called back. That kid Rodgers
who scored the pick six, Isaiah Rodgers, he dropped it. Yeah,
you think dropped.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
It and that.

Speaker 7 (01:16:20):
But then they went on to just absolutely trounce.

Speaker 4 (01:16:23):
They just shoved the ball down their throats.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Did you see the part of last day's game where
al Michaels had to recant yes on air that he
had said, remember the field goal in London that the
Vikings kicker kicked the week after they played the Steelers
and they played the Browns and it hit the wire.
The league still maintains it did not hit that wire
and that it was an optical illusion. And so al

(01:16:45):
Michaels was like, you know, talking about the kicker and
well and then he had and he mentioned that field
goal and then he had to correct himself on air.

Speaker 25 (01:16:52):
Field goal at ten. The league wants to take my
lunch away because I have set before that Rockets only
miss was hitting up a wire in London. The league says, no, no,
it was an optical illusion, not what Ryker thinks. Anyway,
there you had them, we played it up.

Speaker 4 (01:17:09):
I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:17:11):
Michael's like kind of doesn't give an f at this point.

Speaker 4 (01:17:14):
Yes, yeah, I like to take I like that as well.

Speaker 22 (01:17:18):
Pennsmeak the Panthers five three. They're six and two. They've
won four in a row. Two more goals from Sidney
Crosby his fifth and sixth.

Speaker 4 (01:17:26):
Bigger development. Sin's already got six colts. Eric Carlson was
plus three.

Speaker 22 (01:17:32):
I don't know what's going on with the Penguins, but
I did the preview show last night here at TV,
and then I was driving home listening to the first
period and Colby Armstrong was talking on the X about
all the structure and discipline and support and attention to detail.

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
Wow, how is that happening? But I mean, this is
clearly Dan Dan.

Speaker 22 (01:17:51):
News that these are clearly Thinks Sullivan favored, and they
just decided not to.

Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
Yeah what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
We know we heard Solomon say this over and over,
oh forever many years he was here.

Speaker 5 (01:18:04):
They also changed the team dramatically underneath the big guys.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
But that, to me, or the old guys, is exactly
why I don't know. Maybe this is too much to
get into now, but that's exactly why. Maybe you think
about with Mike Tomlinlake, is this message just falling on
deaf ears?

Speaker 22 (01:18:22):
Well, it's certainly working for the Penguins, And they got
out shot in the third period eighteen to four, and
Tristan Jarry held up, Wow, it's amazing you can get
good goaltending if you don't just leave mount to dry
all the time and make them work way harder than
they're supposed to.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
All right, So me, you got a little faith that
there's something left in the tank for Tristan.

Speaker 22 (01:18:42):
Oh, I wouldn't go that far, but they're playing the
kind of hockey you need to play, particularly when you're
not so star laid, and that you can make two
stupid mistakes and then just make up for it with
three Ken drictacular plays like they they're not just going
to score five if they have to or six if
they have to.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
You know, keep the goals against down and you got
a shot. Abby's got your news at the top.

Speaker 13 (01:19:04):
The food fighters are heading back out on the road.
And would you survive a slasher film?

Speaker 1 (01:19:10):

Plead yourself to a world class experience at Mercedes Benz
of Washington VIP treatment with please Steed and spend. Sean
Collier from Pittsburgh Magazine joining us right now, and everybody
is waiting with baited breath.

Speaker 4 (01:22:01):
M hm.

Speaker 5 (01:22:01):
My ears said he was gonna possibly come across the tables,
and there's a lot of pressure on you. Yeah, I'm
putting that on myself.

Speaker 4 (01:22:09):
I walked. I walked into the theater like a suburban.

Speaker 21 (01:22:12):
Dad showing up to a little league game, already convinced
the coach isn't gonna play his son.

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
Enough, come on, stop show. They're writing at Johnny ninety nine,
We're not here to mess.

Speaker 21 (01:22:23):
Around, buddy, all right, Brucey, swing the bats, Swing the
bat Bercy.

Speaker 7 (01:22:27):
Pumping yourself up in the car right over, uh, Bruce.

Speaker 21 (01:22:33):
And I think there's a big difference between this and
all of the music biopics. A Complete Unknown is about
Bob Dylan, Rocketman is about Elton John, Bohemian Rhapsody is
about the surviving members of Queen and when necessary, Freddie Mercury.
But this movie is about depression. This is a movie

(01:22:53):
about depression and mental illness. Incidentally, the protagonist happens to
be Bruce Springstey. See that is why I think people
are going to be very disappointed, because they want to
see the you know, the Bruce Springsteen Marvel universe.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
You know, everybody wants this. The little Steven, the Clarence,
the Max, all.

Speaker 21 (01:23:15):
Of that little tall little Stephen and Clarence don't have
a line in this movie.

Speaker 4 (01:23:22):
Did they pantomime? I don't understand.

Speaker 21 (01:23:24):
I mean, you see him, you know occasionally we'll cut
to like he's on.

Speaker 4 (01:23:27):
Stage and.

Speaker 21 (01:23:30):
Signers they're smiling at him, you know, like they'll be
in the studio and he's like that big guy over
there is probably Clarence. But they're not characters in this movie.
This is about Bruce going through some things, going off
to the little House and having a lot of feelings
and writing Nebraska, which nobody liked.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
Well, it went to number three if it was part
of the suit nobody wanted to record that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:24:01):
The closest thing to like music industry drama here is
Columbia saying, I don't know what he's doing, why would
you make this record right now? But even for that,
it's not you know the scenes with Mike Myers in
Bohemian Rhapsody, you know they kind of say, like, sorry,
this is the album, put it out, and everyone goes,

(01:24:22):
all right, it's Bruce.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
Sure.

Speaker 21 (01:24:24):
All of the struggle, all of the drama in this
movie is he's thinking about some childhood trauma and he
has some feelings he doesn't know what to do with.
And he's laying on the floor listening to Frankie teardrop
by Suicide and then going and writing a song.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
And he got Karmie from the Bear to portray all
of that. Yes, makes so much more sense to me.

Speaker 21 (01:24:48):
He might be the best part of the film. This
is It's interesting you mentioned Jamie Fox earlier in the hour.
Other than that, this is the most I've seen an
act or disappear really into a rocks. I kept forgetting
I wasn't looking at Bruce, and they don't look that
much alike.

Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
So that's saying something.

Speaker 3 (01:25:09):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:25:09):
I had to keep reminding myself, I'm not literally watching
footage of Bruce brings better than Challa May, better than
challow May. Yes, Mike likes it satisfying.

Speaker 4 (01:25:24):
You know.

Speaker 21 (01:25:25):
The worst thing I could say about it is exactly
what you point out. I think the people who are like, oh,
I like I like Born to Run, Let's go to
the movie theater are gonna have a bad You think
they're going to see a New Jersey party, right, like
Eddie and the Cruisers or something. There's a couple of
scenes of the Stone Pony when he needs to let
off some steam, he goes down to the Stone Pony

(01:25:46):
and plays with the house band there.

Speaker 4 (01:25:47):
Why did they invent a fictional girlfriend for him for
this movie?

Speaker 21 (01:25:50):
Probably because they didn't want to drag any of the
real girlfriends into it.

Speaker 22 (01:25:54):
According to Rolling Stone, it was a composite character to
uh trying to light on all the good women that
he was emostally unavailable to have a relationship with, and
he was having so many problems.

Speaker 4 (01:26:12):
I just make one girl out of all the ones
in Bangton. Yeah, it was something like that.

Speaker 21 (01:26:17):
I will say I did not need a Bruce Springsteen
sex scene. It's brief, it's not graphic, but still I'm
like boss, I own.

Speaker 4 (01:26:36):
I'm emostally unavailable. Clarence breaks out of the close saxophone.
That's how you know the cabs coming. The concerts were long.
I expected so much more. Rosalita goes on for twelve minutes?
Is that all I get?

Speaker 22 (01:26:53):
It's kind of weird because from what I've read about it, Sean,
who you saw it?

Speaker 13 (01:26:57):
Uh?

Speaker 22 (01:26:58):
The album was unpopular and it's gonna the movie is
about unpopular.

Speaker 4 (01:27:02):
Stuff like, oh I made that connection?

Speaker 21 (01:27:05):
Yeah, it's it's they make a lot out of this
doesn't make commercial sense. He just did the river you
recorded Born in the USA. Can we focus on that? No,
let's do this sad thing. And with the way that
Complete Unknown made money and the way that all of
these movies make a lot of money to deliver something
that I think isn't gonna work with that audience is

(01:27:26):
a similarly bold artistic choice.

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
Yeah, that's an interesting parallel. Yeah, yeah, so he's good.
Good for this good. Good for them.

Speaker 21 (01:27:36):
I am just surprised that Mike Persuda is sitting right
here and not down at the Phoenix Theater in Bridgeville
right now, waiting in line. Love your professionalism. Basically, if
I say they blew they don't pay me right right?
If I say they blew up a chicken man in
Philly last night, do you know what to say next?
Then go see the movie if you don't, and blew

(01:27:57):
up his hots too.

Speaker 4 (01:27:58):
Yeah, exactly, pretty good, pretty good movie. I like it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:03):
Yeah, I'm surprised to hear that he disappears into the
Springsteen character.

Speaker 4 (01:28:11):
Yeah the way you said, Well, he's just it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:28:13):
Every movie he's done and everything since Shameless seems to
be the brooding dude. He seems to be a version
of what he does in the Beard.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
But he says yes boss after everything. Yeah, Yeah, I
do say yes bus a lot.

Speaker 20 (01:28:29):
No.

Speaker 21 (01:28:30):
I think they picked the right moment in Springsteen's life
for this guy to play it. If this had been
about nineteen seventy five, he couldn't have done it in
a month a little more charisma, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Well, maybe my dream will come true that I wanted
for Shalome and Bob Dylan where it's just you just
do all different movies of different parts of his life,
like you just keep doing sequels. I like Bob Dylan
from the motorcycle accident on through touring with the band
and the smaller areas, and that can be the next one,

(01:29:01):
and then he finds Jesus at the end of that,
and then he's in the Jews for Jesus Movement and
with Springsteen. Born to Run On is fascinating to me.

Speaker 22 (01:29:11):
But we were talking yesterday about you know, what parts
should they have done part of his life? I'd like
to see one about the making of the Rising. Oh yeah,
I think you could incorporate a lot of stuff into
that and go in a totally different direction and still
have it to be about the Boss.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
It is crazy that he had that much of a
social impact from Born to Run On. Even though this
record peaked at number three, people ended up liking this record.
I still think it's staking well. Born in the USA
was Nebraska cultural phenomenon?

Speaker 4 (01:29:42):
You think Nebraska stinks? I hate Oh you gleaned that
from the last fifteen minutes. No, I just assumed as
big of a fan as you are.

Speaker 22 (01:29:51):
I like Atlantic City when that stuff comes up in
concerts when I go get a beer and get rid
of one.

Speaker 4 (01:29:56):
How about that? I never knew though that st trooper? Oh,
I love highway patrolman?

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Is it state trooper or highway patrolman that The Indian
Runner is about? Do you know this that Sean Penn
dated Springsteen's sister before Sean Penn got famous, And he's
dating her and he hears it was either highway patrol
under state trooper. And he hears it and he asks,
I think it's pam to call her brother and be.

Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
Like, I have to ask him if I can make
a movie out of this.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
And at the time, Sean Penn is not Sean Penn.
He had Fast Times had not come out yet, and
he asks Springsteen for permission to write a screenplay based
on that song and he's like, yeah, sure, kid, whatever,
And then years later that became the movie The Indian Runner.

Speaker 21 (01:30:45):
Which is the one about the brothers and somebody dies
and running to the yes highway patrolman Hi.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
Okay, yeah, yeah, which is Nicholson in that movie. Anyway,
there's big stars in that movie. And that's based on
the fact that Sean Penn dated Springsteen's sister crazy pre
specolei pre Specoley.

Speaker 4 (01:31:02):
Yes, it's kindast like his sister Dated Speccoli.

Speaker 22 (01:31:09):
I've been pretty consistent. I've always liked Bruce in the
E Street Band. I don't necessarily like him doing the
tunnel love folk songs that human touch, Tunnel of Love.
It's okay, it's just stuff, you know, like it's not special.
The eas Street Band back in the day was just
like nothing I've ever heard before since.

Speaker 1 (01:31:30):
Did you read the Warren Zanes book that this movie
is based on. I did not, because I've heard that
that is tremendous. That's the word, and people really like that.

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
I've read several books about Springsteen, not that one. This
is going to have a really good critical Bruce red
one written by Bruce green Eggs and Bruce. If you
give a Bruce a cookie. It is funny.

Speaker 22 (01:31:52):
The timing of it, Like you mentioned, I mean, you
just had these movies that were about the music of
these people.

Speaker 4 (01:31:58):
Yeah, they were like a little.

Speaker 22 (01:31:59):
Bit mini cons all learn more about Clarence and the
legend of these people. Say, man, this is not a
much different things. This is not that it is going
to have a great Rotten Tomato score. And the thing
where they survey opening weekend audiences. That's going to be low.
But this is going but you know again appropriate to Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (01:32:16):

(01:33:29):
of two point five dB E Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Do you know how 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?

Speaker 4 (01:33:48):
Right? She had like Taylor's version, and she had thirty
one varietyls.

Speaker 13 (01:33:52):
There was an article last week about a fan that
was going through how he described essentially it was a
privilege to own every variation that she.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
Would put out because.

Speaker 13 (01:34:06):
He felt like it made him a part of history. Yeah,
but he was talking about spending like eight thousand dollars
on every version of Life of a show Girl.

Speaker 4 (01:34:14):
He's a plant. That guy's a plant.

Speaker 11 (01:34:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:34:15):
Also I said varietal like it was wine, which is hilarious.

Speaker 13 (01:34:17):
But this has not.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
What if one of the records, like, what if one
of the records is all songs about different body parts
of his it's is that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:32):
An ear Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning.

Speaker 1 (01:34:39):
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 you know that's where Nike

(01:35:01):
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 a duck bill on

(01:35:22):
the bottom of it instead of like the.

Speaker 4 (01:35:23):
Bottom of the call.

Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
And they created all of these videos that look exactly
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.

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
Vinita, Oregon.

Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
And they've interspersed all these 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 7 (01:35:58):
Is the band involved in this very much?

Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (01:36:01):
So they because I would, I would say they would
have to sign off on all.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
This totally and the the amount of merch that they're
going to sell. The other thing is that steal your
face that I was talking about with the duckbill instead
of the bottom of the skull has instead of a
lightning bolt through it, it's a lightning Nike logo.

Speaker 4 (01:36:22):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
Now, this is something I should absolutely hate. I should
really hate this just because it's so over the top commercial.

Speaker 4 (01:36:30):
But I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:36:30):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):
I don't know why, but I do.

Speaker 7 (01:36:35):
But that's the thing I don't understand, because the.

Speaker 4 (01:36:40):
Money grubbing whars.

Speaker 5 (01:36:42):
Why isn't their model always to not care about money?

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
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

(01:37:07):
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 that 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,

(01:37:28):
let's let John Mayer play Bob's parts. He would probably
be like, no, the dead is done. There is no
grateful dead. Now we could still keep going with Bruno Mars.
Let's do Bruno Mars and John Mayer. That actually, I mean,
that's what's gonna 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

(01:37:50):
always be a continuation of what it was. So Otel
Berberge will be on base. Jeff Comeni will be on
keys and Jay Lane will play drums. But if Bob
can't do it anymore, John 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

(01:38:11):
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 those songs. You could, you know,
keep that going forever. He just can't do it, listen.

Speaker 13 (01:38:29):
That's been one of the things that Kiss has always
talked about is it doesn't have to be those guys
in the makeup.

Speaker 4 (01:38:34):
And they're going to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:36):
I guarantee you that's the easiest one to do totally.

Speaker 21 (01:38:40):
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 4 (01:38:50):
ZZ Top could do it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
Just get a beer long beer that's really all you need,
I mean in a top hat, because a lot of
times you'd be like, I saw zeazy top and then
you could somebody did you or did you see my
friend Rusty from Belvernon. 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

(01:39:12):
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 of the Southwest that might not
have been so up on, like what the Kingsmen looked like,

(01:39:33):
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 7 (01:39:42):
Oh that's fine.

Speaker 13 (01:39:43):
I saw the Buzzcocks last month and everybody was.

Speaker 4 (01:39:45):
Like, oh my god, you saw the Buzzcocks.

Speaker 13 (01:39:47):
I'm like, I saw one guy.

Speaker 7 (01:39:52):
Was singular, right, it was weird looking, I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 1 (01:39:56):
But nobody's doing on the level that they are. And
this tie in with again, it has so much of
a like money grubbing feel to it.

Speaker 4 (01:40:04):
I should hate it, but I don't love it.

Speaker 5 (01:40:08):
I mean, Oregon is the one to do it. They're
the alternate jersey Kings.

Speaker 4 (01:40:13):
Yes, and Nike's Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:40:17):
Is this the first league 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,
it's the Pirates are dressed up like Stormtroopers.

Speaker 5 (01:40:31):
Yeah, well there's I mean, I think you could definitely
see that. Yes, like Inspire jerseys, alternate jerseys.

Speaker 4 (01:40:39):
Of course. Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:40:40):
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.

Speaker 4 (01:40:53):
So the result of this.

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
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 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.

Speaker 4 (01:41:07):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:41:08):
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 these in nineteen
forty three. Yeah, nobody's alive, right, and the Packers, as
far as I know, they just had to invent this jersey.

(01:41:29):
I don't think they ever wore alternate like whites. Yeah,
the Packers are wearing white, all white, white helmet, white,
home team color white. What No, that's a wait Team
white is always a waiting dark color, irrationally angry.

Speaker 5 (01:41:44):
And now I get throwbacks they're not wearing. I mean,
it would be cool if it was a throwback game.

Speaker 4 (01:41:51):
Because they could wear their blues and the.

Speaker 5 (01:41:53):
Well they have ki pants too, Yeah, and like a
navy color with a circle. They've got copan.

Speaker 4 (01:42:04):
Keck and pins.

Speaker 7 (01:42:05):
Has anybody seen Mark cockupans?

Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
What if they're just selling those outside? Like the.

Speaker 5 (01:42:14):
Why is nobody buying these?

Speaker 1 (01:42:17):
This is a bad merch idea commands anybody compan.

Speaker 5 (01:42:21):
Through your first pan, no problem, it's a buy one,
get one pan.

Speaker 4 (01:42:25):
Wiking cacupants. They wicked the p you know that.

Speaker 13 (01:42:30):
Brett Michaels is performing at halftime, right, you gotta.

Speaker 1 (01:42:33):
Be wearing khaki dude, don't look that up on But
my brown pants.

Speaker 4 (01:42:46):
They're bad. It is a bad beauty.

Speaker 5 (01:42:48):
I I I I like it. I like the Jersey.
I think the pants make it, you know, unfortunate, But.

Speaker 4 (01:42:54):
Isn't there I agree with you on that if they
had black pants, it would.

Speaker 13 (01:42:56):
Be better black pants again, all's forgiven pants?

Speaker 5 (01:43:00):
Fine, whoa black pants? Pampa damn black pants, going wold pampa, Damn.

Speaker 4 (01:43:08):
Settled down cacky pans.

Speaker 1 (01:43:10):
All right, We're supposed to be joined by Alex Highsmith
here shortly, uh, and let's to talk to him about
But I'm definitely gonna ask him.

Speaker 5 (01:43:16):
About the jerseyans cock of parents, uh sean questions.

Speaker 4 (01:43:22):
Yay or nay on.

Speaker 1 (01:43:23):
The kecka pans, mister pans, good morning, khaki pants.

Speaker 5 (01:43:28):
But if a Sunday night kacka pans.

Speaker 4 (01:43:31):
The thing. If I was gonna buy something, it would
be kaki pants.

Speaker 1 (01:43:36):
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.

Speaker 4 (01:43:48):
During the Championship Series.

Speaker 5 (01:43:49):
I mean, just look at what the Steelers did, they've
already done it.

Speaker 4 (01:43:52):
Or the Pirates with.

Speaker 5 (01:43:53):
The sheets, Yeah, the sheets patch like it's it's just
a patch now, but it's gonna be a whole theme shortly.

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
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
sent 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 scandal

(01:44:23):
that happened, and underneath they had a gambling sponsor on
the screen and it just disappeared.

Speaker 4 (01:44:29):
It just disappeared. Yeah, just like whoever was working the
graphics is like, get rid of it, sixty.

Speaker 1 (01:44:34):
Nine Get.

Speaker 28 (01:44:46):
I didn't know that was part of the scandal. I'm
getting site.

Speaker 1 (01:45:00):
Gambling has a life, cam Alex Smith has been backed
up to nine fifteen and a.

Speaker 4 (01:45:04):
I'm sure it has nothing to do with this conversation.
Mister pants is unvaliable, mister pins, do you plan to
stop the run in those coccupants.

Speaker 5 (01:45:16):
Oh, man, to have the runs in the cag pans.

Speaker 4 (01:45:18):
No, to stop the runs. Oh no, you can't have
runs in cabins.

Speaker 1 (01:45:22):
No. Uh, Sean, we didn't get to finish your review.
What is regretting you? Regretting you as a tear jerker?
Which is the last context in which you're allowed to
say jerker? So smile jerkers. 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

(01:45:44):
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.

Speaker 4 (01:45:56):
That character's spouse just died in a horrible accident.

Speaker 21 (01:45:58):
Those are the only contact in which anyone says hello,
yes this is he. That's the hot cut to crying
in the hospital hallway. No, nothing wrong with the Colleen
Hoover book. Nothing wrong with it. If you want to, Okay,
go on a date. But all the horror movies are
in the theaters.

Speaker 4 (01:46:14):
What's your retro pic?

Speaker 21 (01:46:15):
Go to Rowhouse 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. Just watch the movie. It's fine,

(01:46:39):
all right, Abby? Do you have something for us?

Speaker 1 (01:46:40):
Because Alex Heismith is going to be backed up till
nine to fifteen.

Speaker 13 (01:46:44):
Okay, sounds good news. This hour brought to you by
Window Nation Times of Clouds and Sun. Today it's gonna
be high fifty two Saturday, clouds with a high A
fifty four and then Stealers Sunday high 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 neck summer for a stadium tour. The North
American Tour is going to bring along Queens of the

(01:47:04):
Stone Age. It's also going to breathe the band's first
stadium run with their new drummer, Illan Rubin. It's gonna
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. Uh, there's
a Detroit date on August the sixth, There's Cleveland on

(01:47:28):
August the eighth. You could also do DC on the
seventeenth of August. Those are probably the most drivable ones.
If you want to stretch it a little more, maybe
Chicago on August the eighth. You could go to Philadelphia
on the thirteenth. So those are again, they'll all August
dates food fighters dot com if you want to check
them out. And again, tickets go on sale to the

(01:47:51):
general public on Halloween.

Speaker 1 (01:47:52):
I guess people have finally forgot that he cheated on
his wife and impregnated someone out of wedlock.

Speaker 13 (01:47:58):
Seems like that has happen.

Speaker 7 (01:48:00):
Let's get back to the fun.

Speaker 13 (01:48:01):
Yeah, Hey guys, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:48:04):
Her girls, it's the Mister I'm an Old Daddy Tours
Popsy Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
But with Josh Hammy and the Queen's on stage, you
gotta be thinking that there's multiple sit ins possible here.

Speaker 4 (01:48:17):
Right.

Speaker 13 (01:48:18):
It was almost the Divorced Dad's Tour, but now it's uh,
now it's not, so I'm super excited the Queens of
the Stone Age is back on the road.

Speaker 1 (01:48:27):
For the Deaf is my favorite of the Queen's records,
and that's in large part to girls drumming on that the.

Speaker 13 (01:48:33):
Two of them together is amazing, so.

Speaker 4 (01:48:38):
Not so musical with Hommy that I just love.

Speaker 13 (01:48:42):
It's a little bit of a shame that they don't
do more together. One to your point, Songs for the
Deaf is an iconic Queens of the Stone Age record,
largely in part to 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.

Speaker 4 (01:48:58):
Josh Bobby here.

Speaker 13 (01:48:59):
But also they did them Crooked Vultures, which was a
one album only.

Speaker 4 (01:49:04):
The John Paul Jones record.

Speaker 13 (01:49:06):
Yes, I love the 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
Groll leads that project impregnating people out of and he
keeps impregnating people and there's just not enough time.

Speaker 7 (01:49:25):
Sure he don't smirch out of wedlock?

Speaker 4 (01:49:31):
Why not the problem? Yeah, thats clarify you're clear?

Speaker 1 (01:49:40):
Yeah, is fun is one has to lock it situation?

Speaker 4 (01:49:47):
Got a c the layaway? Yeah exactly, Yeah, no I
phrased that.

Speaker 13 (01:49:55):
Yes, yeah, philanderous fathering, that's the other FF.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
I get it.

Speaker 29 (01:50:05):
I see it.

Speaker 13 (01:50:08):
There's the food fighters and then the full well differently,
but it works. Okay, uh quickly here. 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 big one? Well,

(01:50:29):
Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm Street. Could you defeat him?

Speaker 19 (01:50:32):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:50:32):
Because it's mental? No, no, new He's.

Speaker 5 (01:50:36):
In my dreams. He's figured out what you're most scared of,
and then that's what he makes himself.

Speaker 13 (01:50:41):
Yeah, he gets he gets me.

Speaker 21 (01:50:44):
Turn the tables. Act like you're into it. You're rocking,
you're rocking that sweater dream daddy, come over here, act
like you're into it. I like you.

Speaker 4 (01:50:51):
I like you.

Speaker 5 (01:50:53):
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
Home Alum, because at the end of that movie she's
booby trapping her house to try to kill Freddy.

Speaker 29 (01:51:10):
Oh, that's that's kind of funny. Interesting, it's the Wet Dream.

Speaker 13 (01:51:15):
Bandit Could you survive Hannibal Lecter?

Speaker 1 (01:51:20):
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's drugs
you and you don't know and you're like, the greeny
is delicious your own brain. Yeah, okay, I got it.

Speaker 13 (01:51:36):
Yeah, if he worked at dish.

Speaker 4 (01:51:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:51:41):
Also he compliments you a lot and that that's how
you're gonna get me.

Speaker 1 (01:51:44):
But I could outrun him. I feel like I could
beat him up, you know, although.

Speaker 4 (01:51:53):
Knock him down the stairs.

Speaker 21 (01:51:54):
Edward Norton got past him, but it was one year
after Fight Club, so he had been in training.

Speaker 1 (01:51:59):
Well, and now gonna say, didn't Brian Cox play the
first version of Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter was the name
I don't know anything.

Speaker 21 (01:52:08):
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 4 (01:52:20):
And then they made Silence in the Lamps.

Speaker 13 (01:52:22):
I don't know about it.

Speaker 4 (01:52:23):
I didn't know, and it's not it's a good movie.

Speaker 1 (01:52:26):
But did you know right now at the Soldiers and
Sailors Hall in Oakland they have re erected then cage
right Yeah, kto just.

Speaker 4 (01:52:37):
Maybe did a.

Speaker 13 (01:52:39):
Did a little segment on that.

Speaker 4 (01:52:41):
Well it's KGO today. Yeah, I love that. That's tonight
by the way. Oh yeah, no, it's very cool.

Speaker 22 (01:52:48):
I never lost there until Springsteen played there. Yeah, and
it's so much to see there is a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:52:56):
Was that your best experience because you were you were
like right up front Springstek.

Speaker 4 (01:53:00):
Yeah. Didn't you meet him? No, you did a shot
at his him. I went out of my way not
to meet him.

Speaker 22 (01:53:06):
I introduced Johnny Goshaky's fan one night. Oh and he
got mad at you for when you guys were talking
about this yesterday. Yeah, I wore shorts and a like
a cowboys shirt, and Joe said it ain't very rock
and roll. Yeah, like, well I'm not a rock and
roll guy, said your kid.

Speaker 4 (01:53:25):
I've introduced your kid. I just went and grabbed some
old nineteen nineteen soldiers uniform. I put that. But no,
that's a little hidden treasure of Pittsburgh. It surely is.

Speaker 13 (01:53:35):
How about Michael Myers?

Speaker 5 (01:53:37):
Yes, I mean, which one can't out run Michael Myers.
You you've got a problem. He's the slow one. Yes,
all right, Jason delivers, not slow. Michael Myers is the
one that's like he has bad hips. And depending how
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.

(01:53:58):
Pick your most important friend in there. Yeah, put them
in the passenger seat. Drive now. In one of the
Friday the Thirteenth movies, Jason jumps on somebody like Troy
jumping over the offensive line.

Speaker 7 (01:54:10):
It's the anticipation is incredible.

Speaker 13 (01:54:15):
Times of clouds and sun Today it's a high of
fifty two.

Speaker 4 (01:54:18):
Demonic Troy Palamalu would be a good horror movie. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:54:22):
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 up against the on the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 1 (01:54:32):
There was there was a demonic Troy Palamalu 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
I haven't said. I want to say. It's Trilogy of Terror.
It's a trilogy of chair so three and a four

(01:54:53):
and her vignette was she opens a box like a
present she got sent and it's a miniature like looks like,
you know, Troy Polamalu, but it's like a teaky from
Polynesia that is like demonic somehow, but she doesn't know.
And so she's like in her apartment and all of

(01:55:15):
a sudden thing you hear, like and the things flying
around the 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 I mean, does he no,
he does not know. Yeah, it's not Troy though, Yeah,

(01:55:36):
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 other it's looked like dehydrated and
shrunk Troy and gave him a Piranha mouth and put
a knife in it, and that's terrified.

Speaker 4 (01:55:52):
And a bottle of shoulders.

Speaker 1 (01:55:54):
Yes, it's like things just running around on the floor
and she's just screaming, you can't get away from the
I need all the whole time.

Speaker 5 (01:56:01):
With great hair, Yes, admiring his hair as she runs
for her life.

Speaker 4 (01:56:07):
He's still doing those commercials.

Speaker 5 (01:56:08):
Yeah, oh yeah, 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 4 (01:56:20):
It's like Prince and Paisley Park.

Speaker 21 (01:56:21):
I'm putting away thirty Head and Shoulders commercials for the future.

Speaker 7 (01:56:25):
He's got four Head and Shoulders albums that he hasn't released.

Speaker 4 (01:56:28):
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 personal You're like, what happened to him? Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:56:39):
I feel like comics do that more than actors or
anybody else. Like actors, you have to continually update your headshot.
But comics, he go see somebody, and then it'll be
someone who's been around for twenty years, and invariably the
headshot is from twenty years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:56:52):
It used to be very common in newspaper mug shots.
Oh really, yeah, because.

Speaker 7 (01:56:57):
You get it done once and then you never want
to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:57:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:57:00):
Yeah, it's not necessarily intentional.

Speaker 5 (01:57:02):
On the comments and these said, these things called newspapers
tell us about it. And if you wrote an opinion piece,
you'd have your picture next to it.

Speaker 22 (01:57:10):
That's how people were supposed to know it was an
opinion piece. Now everything's an opinion piece and it's ill informed.

Speaker 1 (01:57:18):
Alexhismith will be on at nine to fifteen today, Dreamed
the Heavy in the coffee house and Michael had a
full sports report for you when we come back. Getting
ready for Steelers Packers on Sunday night.

Speaker 4 (01:57:28):
This is a big one.

Speaker 1 (01:57:29):
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 cheese just.

Speaker 4 (01:57:42):
All over the media yesterday.

Speaker 22 (01:57:44):
See I can't get past the two MVP thing when
he slid that in.

Speaker 4 (01:57:47):
Oh yeah, that was nice to me.

Speaker 22 (01:57:49):
That was f you guys. We talked about that a
little bit with Meryl last night on the previous show.
Meryl City thought he was trying to be funny. Merrill
thinks the he said an magnanimous approach to this is
legit and genuine, and he really doesn't care.

Speaker 4 (01:58:06):
He just wants to win the game.

Speaker 1 (01:58:08):
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 7 (01:58:20):
Because when he's when he hangs it up, he's going home.

Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
But I think it's his right to do that, Like
I think it's his right to do whatever he wants.

Speaker 4 (01:58:27):
But I think he blame me. They'll welcome him, man,
Yes exactly.

Speaker 22 (01:58:31):
Oh yeah, read them out right.

Speaker 4 (01:58:35):
Yeah, but that's we ran Chuck Nolaut.

Speaker 1 (01:58:38):
We ran, I mean almost ran Cower out, you know,
Terry Bradshaw, I mean, but not, I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:58:47):
We ran hines Ward out. Did people not like hines
Ward here? It is old and washed again. They know
what I'm saying. They thought Aaron was old washed. Is
that what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (01:59:00):
Yes, they thought they were like enough with you in
the drama and you're not getting it done.

Speaker 4 (01:59:05):
Okay, you didn't win three m vps in a row,
f off.

Speaker 5 (01:59:08):
I think it would be stupid from an organization standpoint
to not welcome him back right like you don't.

Speaker 7 (01:59:13):
I mean, he's in the pantheon there.

Speaker 22 (01:59:16):
Yeah, but he's not going anywhere back because he said
he's just gonna go be in the shadows and we
won't see him. He'll just go to Malibu, talk to Dolphin.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
He's going to be doing the NFL on He'll be
doing game so that the big the big black blanket.

Speaker 4 (01:59:29):
Yeah, pull up again over him watching on the beach. Yeah,
just sitting there. Next week the boy. I remember that
game when I stuck it right up to Peckers.

Speaker 5 (01:59:37):
I hope he does it.

Speaker 1 (01:59:38):
This Sunday night, Aaron faces his former teammates, the Green
Bay Packers. This is a laflora Aaron Rodgers revenge game.

Speaker 4 (01:59:48):
I don't care what anybody says. I concur and you
played the greatest bong in the world for me. Only
if you can dig it.

Speaker 12 (01:59:55):
Let us know your lunxury quests on our socials phone
or the talk.

Speaker 4 (01:59:59):
Back, but no on the irt radio app that one.

Speaker 12 (02:00:02):
You picked this songs on the Electric Lunch at noon
on DVE from the Bridgevillees.

Speaker 1 (02:00:10):
Mike prosuded with your sports right now getting ready for
Steelers Packers Sunday night here on DVE.

Speaker 22 (02:00:16):
Sports that I brought to you by Bridgevilleppliance. 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 week

(02:00:37):
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.

Speaker 4 (02:00:45):
He wouldn't deceive anyone.

Speaker 7 (02:00:48):
He dragged himself off the field after he broke his leg.

Speaker 22 (02:00:51):
Who's the backups on O Ryan Ryan McCollum, who's got
three career starts to here. I think Fraser will play
potential complication for Bay.

Speaker 4 (02:01:01):
They're down.

Speaker 22 (02:01:02):
The Packers are two of their best receivers Christian Watson
and Jayden 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

(02:01:24):
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 4 (02:01:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:01:40):
Now, the one thing about Jacob's 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 scored only played
thirty one snaps. Depending on how quickly he is convalescing,

(02:02:05):
he may or may not be at full strength.

Speaker 7 (02:02:07):
And he might pull a hamstring early in this game
running for eighty yards.

Speaker 4 (02:02:11):
Maybe that's the plan. Tire mind.

Speaker 22 (02:02:14):
Defense 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 4 (02:02:36):
Pass defense also problem.

Speaker 22 (02:02:38):
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. It contributes to the
defense not looking too often like the Steelers envisioned it.
But DC Terrell Austin maintained yesterday there's still time.

Speaker 24 (02:02:56):
We all thought we'd be, you know better, But I
understand it's thee 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 23 (02:03:14):
We've seen these guys.

Speaker 24 (02:03:14):
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 22 (02:03:29):
Yeah, Sunday night would be a good time, and then
the one after that, and then the one after that.
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 23 (02:03:47):
In that situation. Yeah, that Mike is right.

Speaker 24 (02:03:49):
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 throwing
a loop and as you work through and work to
the game. You know, our biggest emphasis on game day

(02:04:09):
is trying to win the game, not determine how many.

Speaker 23 (02:04:12):
Plays a guy plays.

Speaker 24 (02:04:13):
And so we did 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.

Speaker 8 (02:04:21):
Job of that.

Speaker 22 (02:04:22):
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 drop the ball
in that one.

Speaker 4 (02:04:32):
It's kind of surprised to hear him say it.

Speaker 1 (02:04:33):
Actually, I mean they've set the president for firing a
coordinator mid season with Matt Canada, or revisited something they
did decades before anyways.

Speaker 7 (02:04:44):
I mean, they hadn't done that since Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 1 (02:04:47):
Do you think if things continue to go south, that,
even though everyone knows Terrell Austin isn't the one really
pulling the strings there, that they might sackle for.

Speaker 22 (02:04:56):
Sacrificial say, just think he's making the calls for what
that's worth. Okay, So I mean, just I don't know
if everyone's an I don't know, Yeah, but I don't
know if everyone's assumptions are correct to the point.

Speaker 4 (02:05:11):
But yeah, he says he's making the call, so yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:05:14):
I mean, it was great against Minnesota until the fluke
at the end when they just dropped well I shouldn't
say fluke, but one blown coverage on an eighty one
yard play kind of made that game tight.

Speaker 5 (02:05:24):
Too complicated of a call.

Speaker 22 (02:05:25):
They played really well against Minnesota for the most part,
and they played great against Cleveland. Then they went on
the road on Thursday night and had nothing.

Speaker 4 (02:05:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:05:33):
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.

Speaker 4 (02:05:43):
Yeah, it has been historic twice this year. Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:05:46):
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 at Nati Bengals receiver at every six.

Speaker 1 (02:05:58):
Like I said, the Hendenburg was also historic. Yes, like,
oh the humanity. You have to wonder at some point. Yeah,
well we see.

Speaker 4 (02:06:06):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:06:07):
The next thing you say, this is on the players
though that you know, well, but I mean changing the
coaches can't get changed.

Speaker 4 (02:06:12):
You can't get rid of eleven players.

Speaker 22 (02:06:15):
True, 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, right, there's no more.
While these guys are new, we're still working them in. Well,
we didn't have this guy. We didn't have that guy.
By now everybody doesn't have this guy or that guy.

Speaker 4 (02:06:36):
Get it done. Abby's got your news. Top of the Hour.

Speaker 13 (02:06:39):
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 bio picks of
all time.

go through our mis tackle 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 that we didn't get to talk about. Woody Johnson,

(02:08:05):
owner of the Jets, throwing Justin Fields under the bus.

Speaker 4 (02:08:10):
What's your competence level in eron to turn it around? Well,
it looks like he's turning around parts of it.

Speaker 11 (02:08:17):
You know, it's hard when you have a quarterback with
you know, with a rating that we've got, you know,
I mean.

Speaker 5 (02:08:25):
He has the ability, but something just is not gibing.

Speaker 11 (02:08:29):
But if you look at any any head coach at
a quarterback like that, you're going to see similar results if.

Speaker 4 (02:08:33):
You were across the league.

Speaker 11 (02:08:35):
You have to play consistently with you know, that deposition,
and that's what we're going to try to do in
the road of the season.

Speaker 4 (02:08:45):
So someone gives you hope, then you get a hope.

Speaker 11 (02:08:48):
I just think defense rusher teams are doing better.

Speaker 4 (02:08:51):
Defense is pretty good. Well, but we can just complete
a pass. It would look good. Wow, damn. And then
Justin Fields already blown up.

Speaker 1 (02:09:06):
Justin Fields found out apparently, I remember the media. I
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
there's a case to be made here that he actually
found out from this reporter.

Speaker 4 (02:09:24):
Justin Who is your.

Speaker 30 (02:09:26):
Reactions to way Jealous's comments, Systerday.

Speaker 20 (02:09:29):
I didn't see any comment. I'm not yea, yeah, no,
I'm not on you know, social media, norie.

Speaker 4 (02:09:34):
If you're hearing up with the Jets of what he says,
uh not. Really. He was highly critical of you.

Speaker 30 (02:09:41):
He basically said, you know, if you guys could complete
the past, things would look good here. He kind of said,
you know, the quarterback player, I can't win with the
quarterback of the reign like they have, Like.

Speaker 20 (02:09:53):
You weren't aware of it anyhow, No, I wasn't. Like
I said, I'm not on social media. It doesn't bother,
it doesn't.

Speaker 19 (02:10:02):
You know.

Speaker 20 (02:10:02):
Of course everybody knows. You know, I need to do.
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. 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

(02:10:24):
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 gonna be times where you
have to be the only one who believes in yourself.
So you know, like I said, that's his opinion. And
like I told you guys after the game on Sunday,
I'm at peace, and uh my focus is right now
is working each and every day and and getting better.

Speaker 4 (02:10:45):
So yeah, I root for Justin Field's big time.

Speaker 1 (02:10:48):
He's an easy guy to root for, and he's hails
himself amazingly through all of this.

Speaker 4 (02:10:51):
I don't think he's had a fair shake in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (02:10:54):
I think that it's evident from some of the performances
you see from quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold g.

Speaker 4 (02:11:00):
Smith.

Speaker 1 (02:11:00):
Even like people that are left for dead in the
NFL do that does not necessarily mean that they don't
have the talent.

Speaker 22 (02:11:09):
But a lot of the people that are left for
dead are also actually dead.

Speaker 5 (02:11:13):
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 quarterbare.

Speaker 22 (02:11:25):
But I think what we're seeing at this point is
justin fields cannot read a defense quickly enough. And if
I was gonna play him, I would steer into what
he does well. I would make him 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 4 (02:11:47):
It would be better than it is now.

Speaker 22 (02:11:48):
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 5 (02:11:54):
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.

Speaker 7 (02:12:07):
He might have them on a run. Fans are tweeting out.

Speaker 31 (02:12:10):
See see, we should have signed this guy. We let
him walk out of our building. Yeah, you think about
tapile 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 4 (02:12:25):
Yes, yep.

Speaker 1 (02:12:26):
But for Jets fans, things are bleak. This young fan
was interviewed on his way out of that game last week.

Speaker 4 (02:12:31):
Oh see, do I get your thoughts in the game.
I hate this team.

Speaker 17 (02:12:36):
I was born into this and I'm not gonna ever.

Speaker 4 (02:12:39):
I'm always a Jets fan, but like.

Speaker 1 (02:12:43):
I just I hate the same kids wearing Jets jersey.
He's just miserable.

Speaker 7 (02:12:47):
I feel so bad for him.

Speaker 5 (02:12:50):
You know that you're a kid, this is the best
part of your life.

Speaker 4 (02:12:53):
Yeah. 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.

Speaker 32 (02:13:04):
Oh my god, yeah, I think with with that, he's
asked about why he's not targeting Jayalen Wattle more often. Yeah,
I think with with that, some of it has to
do with being able to see guys with their guys
also up.

Speaker 4 (02:13:19):
Front and our guys. And I'm not the tallest guy
in the back there either.

Speaker 32 (02:13:23):
So being able to see and then you know, sometimes
when that happens, you don't want to just throw it blindly.

Speaker 4 (02:13:29):
Oh my god, oh stop talking, stop answer.

Speaker 1 (02:13:34):
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 the way. Even though
Sean Payton still hasn't really let go of the beef

(02:13:56):
with Russ, and he talked about the back and forth
him and Russ this past week.

Speaker 18 (02:14:03):
I did look and the euphoria the way that game
unfolded that was strictly about Dart, I mean, and I.

Speaker 33 (02:14:16):
That was in no way, shape or form anything that
was directed at Russ. So and I and I might
be able to see how he might perceive that.

Speaker 4 (02:14:27):
But yeah, yeah, coming off.

Speaker 33 (02:14:29):
That win, you think and watching how he played, Yeah,
that that wasn't any intention at all.

Speaker 4 (02:14:39):
He's so full of crap.

Speaker 22 (02:14:41):
If it's strictly about dark, just say, hey, you guys
drafted a really good quarterback, Jackson Dart's really good. Not
I wish you would have waited to switch out quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (02:14:50):
That makes it about Russ? Does He's just.

Speaker 5 (02:14:56):
But he took a lot of heat for that, 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 to get him.

Speaker 4 (02:15:08):
I know, but you won. You've been validated, defeated.

Speaker 1 (02:15:14):
I mean, you're still in that halo of Bonnicks looks
like to be sure, Russ is clearly not right.

Speaker 4 (02:15:21):
But what have they won so far?

Speaker 1 (02:15:22):
It doesn't matter. You had no chance with Russ now
you but you're I mean the detective of the exercises
to win.

Speaker 22 (02:15:27):
So if you don't win, yeah, you gotta win still,
just because you were right about one guy that couldn't
play and you replaced with another guy that doesn't win
for you.

Speaker 4 (02:15:34):
Either doesn't make Mike.

Speaker 1 (02:15:35):
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.

Speaker 22 (02:15:43):
Valid point. But you're still getting there. Yeah, you gotta
get get close.

Speaker 4 (02:15:48):
I get it. But but but get the playoffs you
But they don't win.

Speaker 1 (02:15:52):
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. Okay, So
I'm not saying they're going to win a super Bowl
with them. I'm saying you had no chance with Russ
and we all see that.

Speaker 4 (02:16:06):
That's the vindication.

Speaker 6 (02:16:08):
Valid.

Speaker 5 (02:16:08):
I think what Mike is saying is that the ultimate
vindication won't come until they start winning playoff teams.

Speaker 4 (02:16:14):
There, thank you, you said that better than I was
trying to.

Speaker 1 (02:16:17):
Matt Lafleur talked about his relationship with Aaron Rodgers this week.

Speaker 4 (02:16:22):
Yeah, we had a great relationship.

Speaker 34 (02:16:24):
I thought it was a great collaboration of just all
of us coming together and spent a lot of time together,
especially that offseason during COVID of trying to really.

Speaker 4 (02:16:39):
Bring more clarity to our offense and.

Speaker 35 (02:16:41):
What we wanted to be and what we wanted to
do and why we wanted to do it, and there
was a ton of great conversations that let us going
out there and having a lot of success together.

Speaker 1 (02:16:52):
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.

Speaker 22 (02:16:59):
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'd never heard of. And I don't think you brought
off Battleflour's name Steelers in fifteen minutes of talking to

(02:17:19):
the Pittsburgh media about his days in Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (02:17:21):
Steelers Packers eight twenty kickoff Sunday night and all of
the action broadcast back right here.

Speaker 22 (02:17:27):
Oh, it's a revenge game on your radio. Home of
the Steelers one O two point.

Speaker 7 (02:18:08):
You may have.

Speaker 1 (02:18:08):
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.

Speaker 4 (02:18:16):
The truth is, good morning, how are you?

Speaker 9 (02:18:18):
Good morning?

Speaker 4 (02:18:19):
Guys doing well? How are y'all? Are you on your
phone right now? By chance?

Speaker 6 (02:18:24):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:18:24):
Not my phone now?

Speaker 1 (02:18:28):
The reason I'm asking is because the caller I D
came up here and I'm like, that's not who we're
talking to.

Speaker 4 (02:18:35):
It says TJ. Watt here.

Speaker 1 (02:18:36):
But I think that that's just our producer put that
on there in the past. This must be the phone
they put you guys all on when you call in.

Speaker 7 (02:18:42):
I thought that might just be like the linebacker phone
or that's it.

Speaker 4 (02:18:45):
Yeah, right, I don't know if you guys shared a phone. Yeah,
got a phone.

Speaker 22 (02:18:50):
Queen's done with it, but uh, Wilson's gonna need it
in five minutes.

Speaker 4 (02:18:54):
So let's get this guy. We'll get it going. Alex.

Speaker 1 (02:18:57):
First of all is how do you like the uniform
combination that you have to wear on Sunday night?

Speaker 9 (02:19:03):
Yeah, I mean I'm excited to wear it. I remember
when whenever I first saw it, you know, it was
really cool and it's something that you know, we haven't
seen before, and or at least another the jerseys. The
jerseys we haven't worn shooting in a very long time.
But I've always like when I first saw it, I
was a fan of Like I would say, my favorite

(02:19:23):
part probably is the helmet, like the yellow helmets are sick,
and just the jersey. I'm a big Dark Knight fan.
I love those movies. So seeing, uh, seeing those jerseys,
you know, made me get into my dame personality a
little bit. Yeah, watching that scene from The Dark Dark Knight,
So I thought that was really cool that way. So

(02:19:45):
they're pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (02:19:45):
I didn't know you guys were wearing yellow cleats, and
so Bill just retweeted somebody that that showed the cleats
you guys have. I mean, those are you guys are
gonna leave a flash across the TV screen.

Speaker 9 (02:19:56):
Yeah, I think some guys are. I don't know if
everybody is, but some guys are. YELLOCLEI I think it'll
be here and there. Guys want yellowquies and stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:20:03):
How do we feel about the khaki pants?

Speaker 9 (02:20:07):
I mean, for me, I know I like them, but
you know, I think, uh, you know, they maybe I
was wondering if what what a black would look like.
Think the black would probably look a little better. But
you know, I think it's a good, good outfit, and
so I'm just excited to see how it looks On
Sunday Night Football.

Speaker 22 (02:20:28):
Alex Keishawn Williams takes a kick back to the house.
The stadium is not going to explode, is it.

Speaker 19 (02:20:34):
No, that's not going to say Gotham's rocking.

Speaker 8 (02:20:42):
You have.

Speaker 22 (02:20:44):
You've got the voice down well that describe as sack
in the Bain You're getting You're getting a sack and
Bain's doing the play by play.

Speaker 3 (02:20:55):
What do you got?

Speaker 19 (02:20:56):
I guess I'll just play okay, uh oh, yes, suck
by advertisement and to day what yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:21:09):
But you know what, Yeah, Bain doesn't really know football.

Speaker 13 (02:21:20):
He was born in the darkness.

Speaker 4 (02:21:21):
He doesn't know he learned something from I've been working
on that one for a little bit.

Speaker 9 (02:21:25):
From that one for a little bit.

Speaker 4 (02:21:26):
Do you have other impersonations that you can do?

Speaker 9 (02:21:29):
Coach t uh, I've done Coach t and then the
water Boy, I've done the Joker, the water bunch.

Speaker 4 (02:21:38):
You've done Adam.

Speaker 9 (02:21:40):
My father was drinker, so serious Joker one.

Speaker 4 (02:21:51):
I like that. Did I hear the water Boy?

Speaker 9 (02:21:56):
I'm I'm a kid.

Speaker 5 (02:22:05):
Fantastic.

Speaker 7 (02:22:06):
I know we need to break some of these out
in game.

Speaker 1 (02:22:09):
You have to do your post game and after you
like sack Jordan Love three times on Sunday Night and
they interview you after the.

Speaker 4 (02:22:14):
Game Sunday TV.

Speaker 9 (02:22:18):
I'll have to I'll have to do a little uh
pose where you know, puts his hands in his his
caller and just like stands there and watches that's like
his thing. Yeah, that watch Sunday Night celebrations.

Speaker 1 (02:22:29):
Well, let's hope you get uh that that opportunity. I mean,
this is no small feat. This team is a pretty
good folk coming in. Of course, the overriding theme of
things here is Aaron Rodgers returning to face his former
team for the first time as a non Green Bay Packer.
They've downplayed it, both the Packers and Aaron Rodgers in

(02:22:50):
terms of revenge game. Is that the sense that you're
getting and the other teammates are getting that, Oh, even
though he's facing the Packers for the first time, that
won't be much of a fact. Or is that something
that you guys are all too well aware of?

Speaker 9 (02:23:05):
Yeah, I mean I think we're definitely aware of. I
think it's just a chance, you know, for for him
to make history for beating every single being one of
what I think four or five kbs too be every
single team in the NFL. So I know there's some
big history with that. But it's just going to be
a high intensity. It's gonna be a pack game. Pretty sure.

(02:23:27):
It's probably almost sold out. If not, it's probably close.
It's not sold out, so any Sunday night football, it's
prime time, and so I just know it's going to
be a crazy matchup.

Speaker 1 (02:23:37):
How sure are you guys that what happened against the
Bengals defensively and not being able to stop the run,
to your satisfaction was an aberration and not a revelation.

Speaker 9 (02:23:50):
Yeah, I think like we started off great. You know,
I was talking about the other day in the locker room.
You know, we started off ten zero and things that
Dan started to break whenever we uh finished up to run,
and I think it was a work to drive the
second quarter and they got that one long run on
us and then you know that's that's when things started
going south. So for us, it's you know, obviously we've

(02:24:12):
got to start fast. We just got to continue to
play more consistent, especially in the run game, especially you
know the three the two games we've lost and then
you know the Jets being that close game. All the
games that we've let up a lot of points, teams
have been success to runing the ball and they've had
one hundred yard rushers and so for us, that's just
where it comes and starts. We just got to stop
the run first and foremost. And you know Josh Jacobs

(02:24:34):
and company coming in town. You know, they got a
good running attack, so we've just got to be able
to stop him and then be able to get them
in a third and long situations and Cosse.

Speaker 22 (02:24:41):
Having Alex I didn't talk to you this week, but
the message from your teammates on defense and even up
through coordinator Tarrell Austin was an emphatic everybody's confident that
this is going to be a really good defense. There's
been some ups and downs to this point, but uh,
that's just kind of part of the deal. It's coming,

(02:25:03):
it's going to get there. What's the sense of urgency
that it gets there Sunday night, because these guys are
pretty good.

Speaker 9 (02:25:10):
I mean, it's a huge sense of urgency, and I
think we have displayed that sense of urgency by the
way to practice these pascoral days. Way we have practiced
these press coal days. So in the day, we just
had to flush it, you know, and it was over
a week ago, so we flushed that and we've moved
on from it. It's definitely frustrating, but you know, we
can't play it cool. You know, we got to own

(02:25:30):
up to it, and we got to to get back
week for us, and so we just got to be
better when we were last week a lot better because
you know, we had the defense and the players would
be a great defense. So I think it's on us.

Speaker 1 (02:25:41):
How much has Aaron Rodgers helped you understand defensively what
they're going to do offensively given his vast knowledge of
what Lafleur does.

Speaker 9 (02:25:51):
Yeah, I mean, he definitely knows a lot and he's,
like I said, he spent a lot of time there,
so he knows the ins and math, and so he's
definitely shared some valuable information with us.

Speaker 5 (02:26:02):
I know, I know you're I know you're on defense,
But how can you protect Aaron Rodgers from Broderick Jones
if it goes well on Sunday night?

Speaker 9 (02:26:11):
Yeah, I mean, shoot, uh, someone, someone just gonna have
to as Aaron's run off the field. Someone's gonna have
to run run off the sideline tackle project and stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:26:22):
Take him out.

Speaker 9 (02:26:24):
Yeah, because obviously we scored and then we were getting
ready to go back from defense. I didn't know what
happened till after the game. Oh shoot, that really happens.
So yeah, you're gonna gonna happen again.

Speaker 1 (02:26:33):
We gotta make sure Steelers and the Packers Sunday night
and a twenty kickoff and uh look.

Speaker 4 (02:26:42):
Sunday, Yes they're gonna. Yeah. There you go outside, Thanks buddy,
on the best of block Sunday night. Yeah, okay, man,
take care the linebacker phones.

Speaker 5 (02:26:56):
Do you guys know he did that stuff. I knew
he did the coach t in the bank. You know,
he did the Joker and the.

Speaker 1 (02:27:02):
Water Usually those guys are a little reticent to show
off their talents, but he's he had a talent show
ready to go there. Yeah yeah, I love the water Boy.
I really do think he should do his interviews as
the water Boy.

Speaker 4 (02:27:15):
I think he.

Speaker 22 (02:27:15):
Should have one of those masks and if they interview
him after the game, he should quick throw it on.

Speaker 36 (02:27:21):
They're gonna expect one of us in the records. Brother,
you must learn what the Steelers dof just capable of that?
W want full Yoda?

Speaker 1 (02:27:34):
What who didn't he get that voice from, like some
like a serial killer or something like that. He told
Christopher Nolan like he's like, I gotta come up with
a unique voice for Baine, And it was like some
dude who I think he was like a motorcycle club
like uh, like he was in He's the head of
some gang and he was in jail.

Speaker 4 (02:27:54):
He's like famous the bare.

Speaker 21 (02:27:56):
Knuckle boxer and Irish traveler Bartley Gorman.

Speaker 4 (02:28:00):
That's it was the inspiration.

Speaker 7 (02:28:02):
Yeah hen.

Speaker 1 (02:28:06):
But yeah, okay, Bartley Gorman. All right, here's the side
by side of the two of them. He's a Welsh
Irish boxer. So this is the voice comparison that is
on the internet.

Speaker 36 (02:28:18):
Here's they try to wipe me off the face of
the earth, and the men behind them showing them kill him,
kill him, kill him.

Speaker 4 (02:28:27):
So you know what I mean? There ain't no referee
going to jump in. Oh he's got to cut over
his eye.

Speaker 3 (02:28:32):
I mean stop it as a cut over his eye.

Speaker 4 (02:28:35):
There's no stop it. Not if you ripped my heart out.

Speaker 23 (02:28:38):
They wouldn't stop it.

Speaker 3 (02:28:40):
Before me.

Speaker 4 (02:28:42):
There's always been kings of the Gypsies before me. You
Riah Bateton, he just was a king of the Gypsies,
do you.

Speaker 5 (02:28:51):
I hear the you know the base of it.

Speaker 4 (02:28:54):
But he slowed it down, slowed it down considerably.

Speaker 5 (02:28:59):
Right, supplied with a false side to stop you tearing
down this corrupt me.

Speaker 4 (02:29:08):
Tell you the truth about it?

Speaker 1 (02:29:10):
How redemped Okay yeah, okay, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 4 (02:29:14):
I hear it. I love the name Bartley Gorman. Though
you're gonna fight Bartley Gorman? Are you mad? There's no
stop it?

Speaker 21 (02:29:23):
Yeah, goes Bartley Gorman for Halloween, just so I could
tell people I'm Bartley Gorman.

Speaker 1 (02:29:27):
Unless you're playing the Raiders, there's no stop it. Did
you see what happened last week where They basically did
the mercy rule the Chiefs on the Raiders.

Speaker 4 (02:29:33):
There's like three minutes left in the game.

Speaker 1 (02:29:34):
It was thirty thirty one to nothing with two minutes
and forty five seconds left, they went into victory formation.

Speaker 4 (02:29:42):
Wow, Raiders had three timeouts left? Did they take them? No?
That Yeah? And this is humiliating.

Speaker 1 (02:29:49):
Yeah, let's hope nothing humiliating happens to the Steelers on
Sunday night. I think we I hope we suffered our
bigness in our biggest indignity against the Angles last Thursday night.
Making us stay up late to feel bad too is
especially cruel.

Speaker 5 (02:30:05):
Well, I think it was easy to overlook the Bengals
running game. They were the worst in the league. You
don't have to do that with the next three.

Speaker 22 (02:30:13):
When you say they were the worst of the league,
Like they weren't close to the second West, they were subterranean.

Speaker 4 (02:30:20):
Yeah, the only reason they were thirty thirties. There's only
thirty two teams.

Speaker 1 (02:30:26):
I didn't have. Like they were like half as good
as the next worst team.

Speaker 22 (02:30:30):
They were over twenty five yards behind Tennessee per game rushing. Oof,
it was in the fifties, Like it was fifty seven
point six or something like that.

Speaker 5 (02:30:39):
I think the coaches were completely in their heads for
that game. The Thursday Night Bugaboo, Tomlin being afraid of
Joe Flacco, Jamar Chase and Higgins being such a dangerous duo.

Speaker 1 (02:30:50):
I'll tell you what, if I lived in Tomlin's neighborhood,
I would definitely dress as Joe Flacco for Halloween.

Speaker 4 (02:30:56):
Obviously that scared me. Long boy. Oh yeah, he doesn't
know who's lump.

Speaker 7 (02:31:01):
Just get some stilts and then connect your eyebrows.

Speaker 4 (02:31:03):
How do you have what's I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:31:06):
How about the clip that went viral of Flacco talking
about going to dinner by himself.

Speaker 5 (02:31:11):
It's so relatable, it's hilarious. That's that's a forty year
old mentality, right it is. That guy's in heaven.

Speaker 1 (02:31:20):
For those who don't or haven't seen it, Joe Flacco
talked about, you know, his family stayed in Delaware because
he when he went to Cleveland, He's like, and we
moved the kids last year, Let's not do it this year,
and let's not make them go to Cleveland too.

Speaker 4 (02:31:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:31:37):
So in going to Cincinnati, you talked about going out
to dinner by himself. You know, he's new to town and whatever,
and he said he used to see guys eating dinner
by themselves and you feel bad for them, like, oh,
they're sitting there by themselves and they have you know,
it's sad that they don't have a family with them
or a loved one. And now he looks at it differently.
He's like, that guy had it made. I had no

(02:31:58):
idea how how enjoyable it is to just sit in
the quiet by yourself and have dinner.

Speaker 4 (02:32:04):
It's tremendous.

Speaker 5 (02:32:05):
And then did you see Chase was asked about it
and he was like, would you ever eat by yourself?

Speaker 7 (02:32:10):
And he's like, hell, no, man, don't do that at
the crib? Why would I go out?

Speaker 5 (02:32:14):
And they're like, if you saw Joe in there eating
by himself, would you join him? He's like no, I
tell him, like, let's go in the back and have dinner.
You don't have to sit out in the front with.

Speaker 4 (02:32:22):
The right yeah, like around the bar.

Speaker 5 (02:32:27):
But Chase couldn't go into a restaurant in Cincinnati and
sit by himself and eat dinner.

Speaker 4 (02:32:32):
Well, it would be a cost.

Speaker 1 (02:32:33):
I don't think Joe Flacco can anymore. I think there
was a time he could, but now, I mean he's
been splashed all over the media there. I mean they are,
they're celebrating like they are back and he's the bridge
to Burrow and it's happening.

Speaker 4 (02:32:46):
I mean, it might not be wrong. Why why should why?
Outs are special? Man?

Speaker 22 (02:32:49):
If you can activate him, we've seen how four they
can go with a bad defense.

Speaker 1 (02:32:55):
Yeah, all right, Well how about our second white out?

Speaker 22 (02:32:58):
Big big deal. I think we haven't talking about about that.
But getting Calvin Austin back I think is a big deal.

Speaker 4 (02:33:02):
And he is going to be back. Oh he's fine. Yeah,
all right, good, it's fine. It's fine.

Speaker 1 (02:33:07):
Sunday Night, Steelers Packers right here on DV.

Speaker 14 (02:33:11):
The Black and Gold faith will always travel well to
see the team.

Speaker 3 (02:33:14):
On the road.

Speaker 4 (02:33:15):
Yeah, with your sports right now on the DV morning
show Sports that brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 22 (02:33:22):
Zach Fraser did not practice for the Steelers yesterday, but
he spoke beforehand about what they've got going on with
the running game of late and what they might continue
to establish.

Speaker 5 (02:33:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (02:33:34):
I mean, it seems like we're kind of starting to
get like an identity and doing a lot of stuff
with Spencer, which is nice.

Speaker 4 (02:33:43):
We just got to keep it going.

Speaker 26 (02:33:44):
I feel like we have a lot of good packages
that were running and it's just kind of building off
of each other.

Speaker 4 (02:33:49):
Week tweet, When did the CAF thing happen?

Speaker 5 (02:33:52):
I heard it in the game. Wait second drive?

Speaker 4 (02:33:54):
How's it feel?

Speaker 5 (02:33:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:33:56):
Yeah, I think I'll be fine.

Speaker 5 (02:33:59):
I don't understand that injury because you know, when Russ
had it, it kept him out several weeks.

Speaker 7 (02:34:04):
I guess different positions, it's different, but.

Speaker 4 (02:34:07):
It depends on severity of it. I mean, that's all
there is to it.

Speaker 1 (02:34:09):
But I mean I had that last year and I
went in and he's like, they're six dealers with the
same injury right now, and he's like differing severe.

Speaker 10 (02:34:18):
That's what I'm saying, Like, I just don't understand that
well because mine was a fairly significant tear.

Speaker 1 (02:34:23):
I mean, you can do a small one that will
heal in a couple of weeks or sore, but the
problem is that makes you vulnerable for you to making
it worse and popping your achilles.

Speaker 7 (02:34:34):
Because you're trying to compensate.

Speaker 22 (02:34:36):
Hopefully that doesn't happen, and hopefully they keep building on
that running game. I think Aaron Rodgers will be fine,
but they're gonna have to finish drives better than they
did against the Bengals. I know they scored thirty one points,
but they may need to score in the thirties again
to win this game, particularly if Green Bay runs the ball,
and we'll see if the.

Speaker 1 (02:34:56):
I think it's going to be a shootout like the
Bengals game was.

Speaker 4 (02:35:00):
I do as well.

Speaker 5 (02:35:01):
I'm taking the over for Rogers smelling salts. I mean,
that's gonna be bathing and smelling salts leading up to
this game.

Speaker 4 (02:35:09):
Weather still get should take him to the tailgates just
to support him.

Speaker 22 (02:35:13):
Well, Weather's still going to be conducing to throwing the ball.
They got a new carpet. We'll see if Pitt screws
it up Saturday.

Speaker 4 (02:35:19):
These are propers. These are proppers. Somebody get me, and at.

Speaker 22 (02:35:27):
Some point it's gonna come down to the defense making
a stop, either consistently or at the very least at
the end of the game, as the defense did against
the Jets, against the Patriots and against the Vikings as
bad as that Cincinnati game was.

Speaker 4 (02:35:40):
If they get that.

Speaker 22 (02:35:41):
Last stop, different narrative, right, which maybe that would have
allowed them to continue glossing over their problems instead of
addressing them. But they better address him now because the
Packers and Josh Jacobs are going to run. The Colts
and Jonathan Taylor are gonna run and the Chargers.

Speaker 4 (02:35:57):
This just in you know.

Speaker 22 (02:35:59):
The Chargers took field last night against Minnesota in the
Thursday night game. Justin Herbert was the leading passer in
the NFL. But they got back to playing hardball ball
last night. Big d Lineman full back, big tight ends a.

Speaker 4 (02:36:14):
Massive wall and just run behind it.

Speaker 22 (02:36:17):
Two hundred and seven rushing yards and four point eight
per carry for the Chargers that the Steelers will have
to deal with eventually Sunday. They got to deal with
Green Bay in both situations.

Speaker 2 (02:36:27):
D C.

Speaker 22 (02:36:27):
Terror Austin maintained they just got to play the right way.

Speaker 23 (02:36:33):
Sometimes.

Speaker 24 (02:36:33):
What causes it is guys are trying to maybe do
too much, you know, and make a play. And really
what I found out in my years in this league
is that when it happens, it kind of snowballs in
a sense of if I'm a guy and you know,
we had to play, something happened bad, and the next
time that same play happens, I'm going to try to

(02:36:54):
do something else and then maybe I become the culprit,
and so I think that's really what it is, and
just you know, we just got to make sure we
stick to it, take care of our jobs, do our
jobs as well as we can, and trust that the
man next to us is going to do it, and
that if it doesn't get done the first time, that
the next time that guy will get it right.

Speaker 23 (02:37:10):
And I don't try to do too much.

Speaker 5 (02:37:12):
But isn't there approach part of the problem, Because if
you're preaching opportunistic splash, isn't that creating the environment to
have that trying to.

Speaker 4 (02:37:25):
Make a play.

Speaker 22 (02:37:25):
I mean, they're trying to get guys to rely on
their quickness and their ability, but gap soundness, however, your
is always.

Speaker 4 (02:37:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 22 (02:37:36):
That's job one that's ahead of making a play. If
everybody's in the right gap, somebody.

Speaker 13 (02:37:42):
Will make integrity.

Speaker 22 (02:37:44):
Essentially, you know, if you're playing the tackle, the guy
next to you screws up and you can't try to
do his job next time because nobody's doing yours, and
now you've got two potential problems.

Speaker 4 (02:37:53):
And I do think it's snowballed on him.

Speaker 22 (02:37:55):
In Cincinnati, I thought I thought the way that game
started there was a collective.

Speaker 4 (02:38:01):
We got this and they didn't. And they couldn't.

Speaker 22 (02:38:05):
You know, once once it started going bad, they could
not find a way to stop it. Different scenario. This time,
they're home, they have the longer rest, they got to
be better, and they played against the Bangles. I mean,
we've seen him play better than they were against the Bengals.
But a different kind of challenge with Josh Jacobs, and
you know the whole gap integrity thing. He can run

(02:38:25):
it between the tackles, he can run it outside, he
can start inside and go outside. He's just really good
and he sees it and then he explodes into it.

Speaker 4 (02:38:36):
So good luck.

Speaker 1 (02:38:37):
Peyton Wilson said at the beginning of this year that
he thought he was one of the best pass coverage
linebackers in the league. He needs to get a fraction
of that to be true, compared to what he's been doing.

Speaker 4 (02:38:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:38:51):
They cannot be pointing at each other trying to fix
what's wrong, like not knowing what's going on on the
field and who you're supposed to cover, because they will
get absolutely diced up by Jordan Love.

Speaker 4 (02:39:03):
He hasn't been there for ten days.

Speaker 5 (02:39:06):
And what Meryl said, like they're playing the hash to
the sideline and there's nobody over there in the middle
of the field is wide open, and he's fast enough
to chase guys down and tackle them. But we need
him to be anticipating the play and making.

Speaker 4 (02:39:19):
That they don't have Jamar Chase or Tea Higgins.

Speaker 1 (02:39:21):
So if all else fails, I mean go demand coverage
way quicker and let those guys beat you and make
Jordan Love make pinpoint passes.

Speaker 4 (02:39:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:39:31):
The thing about Jordan Love that scares me is he's
got patience to his game this year, which tells me
that he's seeing it and he's kind of a step ahead.
But our zone coverage has just been yeah awful. So yeah,
maybe go man and run and cover anyone, particularly guys
from Green Bay that are not necessarily chasing.

Speaker 4 (02:39:51):
Hey, it's just a great point by you.

Speaker 5 (02:39:53):
But he's got that zen in the pocket and I
know what you're talking about, Like he is cool, calm
and collected with traffic all around him.

Speaker 22 (02:40:01):
Yeah, and he's waiting for place to develop. If his
first read's not there, he knows where the second one
is and where the third one is.

Speaker 4 (02:40:09):
We'll see.

Speaker 22 (02:40:10):
I think their a line can be had a little
bit and defensively, their secondary. The green Bay secondary is good,
but not great. They may force you to make a
contested catch, but those can be made against these guys.
So I don't know if the Steelers sideways, chuck and

(02:40:30):
duck approach to the passing game is going to work.
Because the linebackers are so active they can cover side
to side and keep that stuff to a very minimal gain.
Got to figure out a way to block it up
and throw it down the field.

Speaker 4 (02:40:45):
I want this game to be played now, and the
way this game to be played now, the way.

Speaker 22 (02:40:49):
You can facilitate that is to run the ball on them,
and steel has been running it pretty well.

Speaker 4 (02:40:54):
It is going to be a barn burner on Sunday night.
I mean, I hope.

Speaker 1 (02:41:00):
Maybe I let my anxiety get the best of me
earlier when I was predicting a huge turnout for green
Bay fans. But the amount of hotel rooms that are
reserved for the weekend, I know that that's always the
case for Steeler game.

Speaker 4 (02:41:14):
This is exceptional.

Speaker 1 (02:41:15):
Try go, try to find a hotel room on Sunday
night in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 22 (02:41:20):
This is what you want, though, right You want a
good team, a challenge of great stage, and we got
to find out about this team, which I think we
are going to in the next three weeks.

Speaker 4 (02:41:29):
Like I hope it's close.

Speaker 22 (02:41:31):
I'm getting kind of tired of speculating. Wow, this could happen,
that could happen.

Speaker 4 (02:41:35):
Wait for day to wait for that. Now, now's the time.
It's time to play.

Speaker 19 (02:41:38):
You can show us.

Speaker 1 (02:41:40):
You can get nosebleeds. These bleeds for about two.

Speaker 4 (02:41:45):
Hundred and thirty dollars. Wow, nose bleeds a lot of
money for a nose bleed.

Speaker 1 (02:41:51):
Now I'm talking last row seats on the end two
hundred and thirty dollars.

Speaker 4 (02:41:58):
That's what the club's cost for the games.

Speaker 1 (02:42:00):
Right the clubs are going, you know, fifty yard line,
get up near one thousand dollars and you're looking at
five hundred and eighty dollars for end zone club seats.

Speaker 4 (02:42:13):
Wow, it's too If.

Speaker 1 (02:42:16):
You want to get down low in the one hundred section,
which is always good, that's my favorite places.

Speaker 4 (02:42:21):
I love the one hundreds.

Speaker 1 (02:42:22):
If you can get down there, five hundred dollars on
the far end gets up to seven hundred in the middle.
That's a lot of money. End zone seats are going
for just about four hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (02:42:37):
Per ticket.

Speaker 5 (02:42:38):
You got to think at least a fraction of the
hotel rooms are veteran Pittsburgh Steeler fans who are like,
I ain't driving all the way home after that game.

Speaker 4 (02:42:48):
Well, there are a couple of pops. There's town people.
I don't think Packers.

Speaker 1 (02:42:56):
Yeah, there are so many you know, Washington, DC air
and even you know.

Speaker 7 (02:43:02):
The Florida that come up forevery Jersey.

Speaker 4 (02:43:05):
Yeah, I mean we met them all in Dublin. Those
people we met.

Speaker 1 (02:43:09):
Abby member of that couple we met, they're like, oh,
we go to every game. We're from uh, Saint Pete,
Tampa or whatever. Yeah, and they go to every game.
So there is that element too. But I just have
the feeling, with the price of these tickets that it's
going to be a whole lot of Green Bay in
that crowd on Sunday night.

Speaker 4 (02:43:30):
I hope I'm wrong.

Speaker 5 (02:43:31):
The way they play will be how much of a
noise that those cheeseheads make. Well, the better the Packers do,
the more loud they're going to get.

Speaker 1 (02:43:40):
Which fan base is more excited about the possibilities this year?

Speaker 4 (02:43:43):
Right now? I mean I think right now, right yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:43:47):
And if you can sell your tickets as a Steeler
fan and cash in on a game that you're maybe
not feeling great about. We know, coward's behavior that we're
all guilty of.

Speaker 4 (02:44:00):
From time to time. Yeah, well, but it's that that
is an alluring.

Speaker 1 (02:44:06):
You know, if you have tickets in the one hundred,
but you'd make one thousand dollars on your tickets, that's
a lot of bill paid, significant chuck of change.

Speaker 13 (02:44:13):
I think though, even prior to you know, maybe any
defensive fears that we had going into this game, when
we were talking about the Ireland game and we saw
it was gonna be Steelers Green Bay, we were like, oh,
that's going to be even Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:44:26):
The one thing that has occurred to me this week
is and we talked about this on the preview last night,
Matt Williamson and Merrill and I were all in agreement
on this. When the season started, I was perceiving the
possibilities for this team as very good defense, just good
enough offense, because that's what they've been shooting for for
Bright for years since Ben left. Right, Yeah, that might

(02:44:48):
be flipped. It might be very good offense, just good
enough defense and thirty one points in Cincinnati. They could
have had forty one and they might need that. But
you know, man, Aaron Rodgers, I think is playing exceptionally well.
I think that is an underreported story locally and nationally.

(02:45:09):
And they got enough weapons. You know, everybody got to
stay healthy. The wide receiver thing trade for what would
be as a hedge to an injury. But you know
they're getting Austin back this week. All these tight ends
can be productive. Jalen Warren's blown me away how well
he's played running back game well. Is a really impactful player.
They got the lines coming together now and getting it done.
They got the tools on offense, but they may need

(02:45:31):
them all when.

Speaker 4 (02:45:32):
We come back.

Speaker 1 (02:45:33):
Time for the Coffeehouse Dream the Heavy performing live for

Once again, brought to you by Most Southwestboro this morning
on TVE. You guys don't have to say that every
time I say mos.

Speaker 5 (02:53:19):
Welcome the Most.

Speaker 4 (02:53:21):
Jeez, all right, let's mosey over to Mike.

Speaker 1 (02:53:23):
Wait mos, No, I didn't say mos welcome the MOS.

Speaker 4 (02:53:31):
Thank you, Mike. Pursuita get you ready for Kickoff A.

Speaker 1 (02:53:38):
Twenty on Sunday nights Steelers and Packers here on DVE.

Speaker 4 (02:53:42):
Here's the preamble. The kickoff.

Speaker 22 (02:53:53):
Aaron Rogers magnanimums act was as convincing as it was
compelling in the day's leading up to Steelers Packers. This
isn't about revenge, insisted Rogers, who spoke fondly about his
nearly two decades in Green Bay, about those he still
knows in the Packers organization, about his successor at quarterback,
Jordan Love, even about grocery shopping at the Pigley Wiggly

(02:54:15):
in one of those tiny Wisconsin hamlets. He used to
inhabit me thinks he didn't protest enough. Amid all the
heartfelt reminiscing, Rogers also made sure to mention he happened
to win MVP the first two years while was with
the Packers. A year later, green Bay was a memory.
How quickly they forget? Rogers compared that process to the

(02:54:36):
one that had played out back when he took over
for Brett Farrere. It's not necessarily the way Rogers wanted it,
but the writing was on the wall, and Rogers read
that as well as he still reads a defense. So
he'll be playing to win on Sunday night, not for
a petty game ball. But that said, Rogers has already
established he's not immune to the satisfaction gleaned from beating

(02:54:57):
a former team, a guilty pleasure Rogers embraced in September
when he was admittedly happy to have beaten everyone associated
with the Jets. And he only spent two seasons in
the Meadowlands. That makes the need for a little Packers
payback obvious enough that it need not be stated.

Speaker 4 (02:55:16):
Are you ready for some football?

Speaker 6 (02:55:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (02:55:20):
Rogers was older, the move was bolder. A draft pick Gleam,
green Bay's next big thing. Aaron still played great, but
the fans were impatient, so they dumped the guy who
won them their last ring.

Speaker 4 (02:55:33):
How do you like me now? Now we're about to play?
You thought I was washed up? You better check the tape.

Speaker 22 (02:55:39):
I couldn't make you keep me, but I always knew
somehow I'd wind up with the Steelers. How do you
like me now? How do you like me now? Playing
for Coach t Your new guy has potential. If you're lucky,
he'll be me and throws it up still making are
the ones you dream about?

Speaker 4 (02:55:57):
Still getting it done at forty one?

Speaker 3 (02:56:00):
You like me?

Speaker 5 (02:56:00):
