Speaker 1 (00:00):
Berg shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is w d V Pittsburgh, and it's all because
Ursa's daughter went down on the sidelines and started listening
to all the play calling.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
All the owners are gonna be it's a copycat league.
Get down there, Art.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Just to see what you guys are talking about. He's
the most mellow owner ever.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
You have all these bombastic a hole billionaires and arts
like Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I think we need to just look at the situation
and figure out the best solution.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Can we make art have like a Christmas album? We
can do like on the side, like do like.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
This m Rudle the Red he went Brandy Bellman and
the DV morning show.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Santa would all of a sudden just start going five hundred.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, we got to have the kids' houses. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Art's under a lot of fire right now. A lot
of people are getting under Art's skin right now. I
would imagine he's probably feeling the heat because people are like,
why are you standing packed for this? Well, I mean
I would say that now's not the time to do anything,
so there's nothing to do now. But I wonder it's
not just Art, you know, there are other people in
the ownership, I don't, you know, he's got the controlling
(01:30):
power of it all. But I just always wonder what
the consultation from other people with Equity and the Steelers
is in regards to moving on if that were to
ever happen. You know, it is a scary thing when
your organization is known for sticking with coaches for ultimate loyalty.
(01:52):
But the NFL's changed a lot, and I wonder if
they're starting to absorb all of that and think, like, well,
if they can't turn it around this year. I mean,
I don't think that he has to win the Super
Bowl to save his job or anything, but if it
looks terrible, if it looks like it did on Sunday
Night and keeps getting worse, which with injuries defensively, it's
conceivable that wasn't as bad as it's gonna get.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Right, I think the more likely thing is is the decoordinator,
even if he is just a figurehead, I think that
that's the move because if you look at it, I
know that Art wants to win playoff games. I know
that he's trying to do everything he can behind the
scenes to make sure that happens. And if you look
at the last couple of off seasons. They are taking
(02:37):
huge swings. They're doing things that they've never done. They're
breaking the bank in the offseason to bring these guys in.
Now it not working is something that you have to
reevaluate after that. But it's clear they're trying to do
anything they can well.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And they're using draft capital on the defense too. You know,
it's crazy that, like Patrick Queen giving him what was
then the highest free agent contract in the organization history.
He's not a guy I was thinking, like, oh, he's
falling off. I mean, I thought they paid what they
should have for him, and they got him at the
right time, and I think he struggled mightily in year one,
(03:14):
started to get better, but because the other side of
that linebacking tandem is constantly influxed, that we're not getting
the best out of that position. Jalen Ramsey, I think
he's about where I thought he was gonna be, but
maybe a step slower. He gets burned a couple more
times than I thought, but I mean it is only
(03:36):
by like he's missing it by fingertips, you know, the
t Higgins burn against the Bengals. Of course, he kind
of fell down, but He's not like running five yards
behind these guys like Slay and whatever slaves like Slay's cooked. Yeah,
you know, and that wasn't a huge signing. I mean
that was more along the lines of a Pat Peach.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I mean with the DK signing, that's again they o
the bank.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
They did, They broke their own record of money they
spent in the offseason.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And would you say that he has lived up to
what they were hoping for.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
I think that he's been really good.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
I think it's hard to judge him because the offensive
line and the offense has sort of been slow to form,
and the fact that you don't have a legit number
two to draw any coverage away from him. I do
think that he's had a bunch of drops, but I
think he's had that his whole career.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Mvs getting signed by the Steelers yesterday and probably not
in the lineup this weekend, I guess, but that maybe
that's your number two. Maybe that's what does it they have.
He and Aaron Rodgers have a history together. Mike had
a real good analysis of DK's game on Sunday night.
Not a lot of people would were pointing the finger
at DK metcalf after Sunday Night's lost to the Packers,
(04:50):
but Mike pointed out a whole lot of evidence that
we could have got a whole lot more from DK
in that game, though he certainly was not the soul lame.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
For why things went the way they did.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
The defense just collapsed, and I don't think anybody thought.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I thought we'd be not historic.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I thought coach Tomlin was kind of trying to pump
the tires on his defense a little bit. But I
thought we'd be on the good side of middle of
the pack, you know what I mean. I thought it
would be about like the twelfth to you know, thirteenth
ranked defense or something like that, not bottom of the barrel,
not like bouncing up and down between the Cowboys and
the Bengals defense.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Right now, Oh man, it looks really bad.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It does look really bad.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
It's it's the worst ranking that the total defense has
had ever.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Michael, have more coming up at bottom of the hour.
We'll talk to Gene Sterarator about some of the crazy
calls in that game on Sunday Night, and also the
tush push continues to be a burr in the saddle
of the league and another tush push controversy this past weekend.
Charlie Batch at eight forty five and Abby's got your news.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Now, what's up?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
News?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
This hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems Web
Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. It's mostly sunny and breezy today.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
With a high of fifty six.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
A section of the Parkway East ranks among the riskiest
roads in the country, according to All State. All State
analyzed driving behavior across the fifty most populous US cities
and identify the ten riskiest road segments based on rates
of heartbreaking and speeding, two key indicators of aggressive driving.
(06:28):
The Parkway East outbound from Exit seventy four to Beechwood
Boulevard before the Squirrel Hill Tunnel came in fifth place,
so Exit seventy four is the squirrel Hill Homestead exit.
All States said the riskiest times to travel in that
portion of the Parkway East are eleven pm to four
(06:50):
am Monday through Thursday, midnight to four am Friday, and
eleven pm to twelve am on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Ye that that turn to go to Greenfield, Man is
absolutely treacherous at times.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Not a part of town that I drive a whole
lot anytime I do, I definitely get my spidy senses
up of like all right, this is yeah, this is
where it can go down.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yep, Because as soon as you go like to Homestead,
there's still like the lanes of like are you going
to turn to go up into Squirrel Hill or are
you gonna go into the waterfront?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Right, we just don't know disappearing lanes, but the drivers
don't know. Sometimes there's people like looking at their GPS,
and you know, I think the automatic assumption I have
is that like everybody's from Pittsburgh and everybody knows where
they're supposed to go. But you know, so when people
aren't making the turns or getting into position to make
the turn.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You're like, what the hell are you doing? Why are
you doing this?
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, some people are like look at their GPS
or like I'm from Lancaster, what the hell's going on here?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Are you nicer when you see somebody's out of state plates?
Like if you see somebody you know, be like, oh.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
New York's gonna screw this up. I'll go slower. I'm
more understanding. I wouldn't say I'm nicer.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Yeah, I'm more understanding.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I back up.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
It helps me put it in context.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, like, this idiot's not going to be able to
handle the four pigs on all.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
And if they do it like without like any trouble
at all, and they have out of state plates, I'm like, oh,
that's a drug dealer who rented that car.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I think that anybody that's new to the city or
coming in from out of state and driving should just
put like patience student driver on the back of their car, like,
because that does help me at least. I'm like, well,
there's a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They should offer them at the on the turnpike. Yeah,
exactly this I'm not from here.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
They'll think you're a jag off if you don't have
this on the back of your car.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
John bon Jovi has said that he would like to
see a biopic of his life at some point after
the release of Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere. With that
film in mind, bon Jovi has told the Son that
he would like to see his own life dramatized in
a feature film at some point in the future. He
suggested that his own son, Jake, who is twenty three
(09:09):
and is also an actor and a model, and he
has starred in films rock Bottom and Sweethearts, which I'm
sure you've both seen, would be the ideal candidate to
play him in the film, although he's in no rush
to see it being made, saying that he's not in
his final chapter yet and he is still living his
next chapter.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well that's great.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I've never seen either of those.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No VI nor VI.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Rock Bottom and Sweethearts not ringing a bell.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
No, you want to see a movie about bon Jovi's life?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Oh my god, Oh yeah, it's his life. It's now
or never.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Only if it's Jeremy Allen White. He's going to do
all the rock stars from that one.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Or Shallo Ma Shallame can do it. You know, Shallame
can do it.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Chala May is bonjov No, why dude, he's not hunky enough.
You gotta have a hunk. It's got to be a
dude with half Did.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
He have to gain weight to play Dylan?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Actually?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Which is insane?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Right? Like, I mean you're not Bob.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Like did Bob Dylan grow up in a prison camp?
Because Timothy shallow May is a bean pole?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Well that was his whole persona.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Don't forget you know, Bob Dylan tried to pretend like
he jumped off a train with a bindle over his shoulder.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, and you know, I.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Was in the circus and everyone's like, you were raised
in a middle class neighborhood in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I don't know. I worked for the Bearded Lady for uh,
trimmed the beard. No, you didn't Chin Harris exact.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That was why the scene in that movie where Joan
Biez is like, yeah, you're full of bleep is so
great because not everybody bought his whole story.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
But at any rate, he was very, very skinny.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
If you're gonna play John bon Jovi, you're gonna have
to get like Jersey bowhunky eighties Powell.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
I don't like Glenn Palell's too strong of a jaw.
I don't like him.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I feel like I should like Glenn Powell more than
I do.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
He's he's made in a lab.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Well, yeah, they're trying to shove Glenn Powell down our throats.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
He paused.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He works with Richard link Later, and I usually like
all the stuff that link Later does. And he did
that movie Everybody Wants Them, which is kind of like
The Days and Confused sequel about a small college in
the eighties in Texas, and he's very good in that,
and he's not even really the star. And then he
did that spy movie or whatever, that spot whatever it was, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
That movie's actually not terrible.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I haven't revisited it, but on first viewing I thought,
I was like, this is entertaining. But every I watched
the first episode of the TV series he's doing with
Peyton Manning right now, Chad Powers.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Okay, it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I just I don't know what it is. I think
you nailed it.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Abby.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
He's grown in a lab.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
They're trying to make him Tom Cruise and like, I
don't know, he just well.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
He did that Maverick reboot, right, Yeah, yeah, I can't
root for him.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I think that's the problem. Yeah, it's like you've already
got it all, buddy.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
There's no story there for me.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
There's just like that's a good way of putting it.
There's nothing to root for it. There's no yeah, no
contour to him.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, there's no grit, no grit. Show me a flaw, dude,
you have like zits on your back. I need to
see them.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He's much too handsome.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
There was a Consequence article that was talking about all
of the worst biopics in music, and I know we've
talked about Bohemian Rhapsody that came in at number one.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Wait, actually no, it wasn't number one. It was number two.
I think on their list. Let me double check the
order there.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Number one.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
There was a David Bowie.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Movie from twenty twenty called Stardust, and they said that
that was the worst.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
The hell was Bowie?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Johnny Flynn, Oh, Johnny Flynn, Okay, I will tell you
one was so bad that people don't even bring it
up because it was just like not even consideration for
being an actual movie.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And it was when Andre three thousand played Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Hendrick that and he wasn't terrible as Jimmy Hendrix, but
they didn't get the rights to any of the music.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And it's it's really bad. It's that's a problem.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Oh, the production level was really really low and not
having the music when you're doing a movie about Jimmy
Hendricks's problematic way.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Yeah, I'd actually like to see him do it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I would too.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
It's called all Is by my Side. It was thirteen.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Did did they do it?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Bob Marley movie? Yeah? Oh yeah, it was a huge hit.
What's his name?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Who was in that?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
The guy?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Uh, the actor who played oh, he played Martin Luther,
or he played Malcolm X in the in that the
movie is an oscar where there's like Malcolm X, momat
Ali and all those guys like meet in a hotel
room one night in Miami. I think it's called yeah,
and it's I mean, it's it's good, it's not great.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I think that they have the music.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Yeah, they got the rights to do it.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
But I think that movie, if it was criticized, it
got a similar Bohemian Rhapsody kind of treatment where they
were like, here's the nice version.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
He was a Rastafarian, And I'm watching that movie and
I'm like, I just realized, I don't really know anything
about that religion other than I'm like, oh, they smoke weed.
And so I looked it up and there's a reason
that that movie gets whitewashed.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is probably not the right term.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Blackwashed, yes, because the tenants of that theology are not
exactly not great for women. No, it's very misogynistic and
they oh, yeah, you're not. You're It's like women are
very second class and subservient, and uh, that is kind
(15:06):
of the rule of it all, and they painted in
that movie like where his wife's like, I know you're
having affairs.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And he's like, I'm not, though I love you.
Speaker 9 (15:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Meanwhile, he probably would not have allowed her to talk
to him like.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That, you know what I mean? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Yeah, so so one love is a bad title. Then
there were so many loves.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
There was a lot of loves.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, a lot of loves, one million loves.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
The weird thing is he had a curable form of
cancer and he wouldn't get it treated because they just
believed in like, oh he just smoked this away.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And he would It's really dumb.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
It wasn't lung cancer, was it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I believe it was melanoma that that's spread.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Really Anyways, Kingsley Bendere is the guy who Yeah he Kingsley.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He looks like Obama, that actor. Yeah, yeah, he looks
like the artist J Cole a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Anyway, I don't remember seeing him in anything, honestly, Like
I know you said some of his work.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
He's not super familiar to me either.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
He was like he was getting thrown around for Oscar
bait there for a while.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Oh no kidding.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
There was some other stuff that was on the list
that I didn't agree with. I actually, I'm probably in
the minority. I actually liked The Dirt because it was
it was as cartoonish as Motley Crue is to me,
So to me, it would like completely fit.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I would not want to see the standard bio pic
formula for Motley Crue. It it had exactly as much
stupid like it opened.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
This is dumb as Molly Crue.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
The opening scene is perfectly vile like them.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that was aggressive. I was not expecting
that beginning.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
The only thing is like Tommy Lee continues to get
such a path it drives me crazy.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
I wonder if that's ever gonna catch up with him.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I feel like there's been so many times.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Where it's like, are we gonna get him now?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No, And in that movie he gets a little bit
of a pass too. Oh hell yeah, Well so does Vince.
I mean, honestly, they all do. I mean the whole
dizzy Rascal thing.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Yeah, let's just forget that part.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
It's kind of a big deal, all right, really unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah yeah, anyways, watch the Dirt.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
You can watch the Dirt.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Don't be like Sean Casey though, and watch it with
your kids. Do not do that, right, don't watch it
with your kid.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Just watch the first ten minutes and then imagine watching
that with your kids.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, would it be worse to watch it with your
mom or with your kids?
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
My god, kids, what's the worst movie you ever watched
with your with your mom or your parents? Because mine
is a clockwork Orange and my mom what ripped it
out of the VCR.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
And beat you to death with it?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It was my older sister had come back from college
and put it in like on a Friday night, and
my mom lost her mind watching it at the scene
that you can all imagine.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yes, she made it too, and that was it.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I remember watching a lot of movies with my mom,
Like we watched stuff, but she was always in and
out of the room, like I gotta go get another
cup of coffee, and you know, I smoked seven more cigarettes.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
I'll be back in a second.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Did your mom know what a clockwork orange was? She
was watching it with you, she had no idea. What
about your kids?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What's the worst movie you guys watch with your kids
or the most uncomfortable?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I mean, you know the movie that Abby recommended for me.
But and to her defense, she did not tell me
like watch this with you.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I didn't say watch it with your kids.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
I thought I was going to watch it with his girlfriend.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
He told me to watch this movie Barbarian And there
is a shocking nude scene midway through that movie.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
That is not the worst I could have done for you,
no at all.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I'm glad you didn't do your worst.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I know I didn't because that was.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I mean, it was so awkward that we all hysterically
laugh because it's this old woman with just it's it's
very gross, and then she smashes a guy's head off
the wall.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I haven't had any wild experiences with Eadie yet.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
A little too young.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
She's a little too young.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Although I will tell you that a reminder that at
one point, you know, like Sesame Street was still on HBO,
and like you know, whenever you log into HBO, you
know it's HBO, And there was a time that I
went to put it on for her, and like Hal
Sagucci came on in the scene where like Lady Gaga's
getting railed.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
And I'm just like I just to be off real
quick and just be like, let's Wait a minute, why
don't you go upstairs and get some apple slices?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
Well logging?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah, And I would also say that any anybody out.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
There who's our age, who's.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Looking to go back to like the classics, you really
got to rewatch them because you forget that it was
the eighties and there are nude scenes for absolutely no
reason at all in those movies.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, there were boobs, just to see boobs.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Like, pornography was not everywhere back then, so you had
to get it in just little doses.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, tiny little shops.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Want to do a shooter, here's some shooters.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
And because I watched like Adventures and Babysitting, I'm like,
I remember this movie.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Straight up classic. Two girls like that, they'll love love
that movie.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
There is a whole sideline, like a whole side plot
to that movie that the neighbor and everybody in the
town thinks, Elizabeth Shoe the babysitter is a hooker, right, No,
a nude model, like she's in Playboy and Penhouse, And
like the neighbor comes by and opens up the centerfold
(21:06):
and he's like making disgusting you know, mouth motions on
the door.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
And then like.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Everybody like there's billboards with her nude and it looks
like her, And that's a whole side story that.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
I'm like, well, this is awkward. I forgot about this completely.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, and then yeah, and Boogie Nights was really a
bad choice. You can't ever watch it.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
He hated it.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
She was like, that's not realistic, all right, mostly sunny
and breezy today, I hire a fifty six.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Do you know Leonardo DiCaprio got offered that role first
and he turned it down.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Dirk Tiggler, that's good.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Yeah, probably a good call.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Mark Wahlberg is he was a perfect writing dumb Yeah,
you have to be dumb.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
For that little dim Yeah, he played dem very well.
Mike coming in here, and the Steelers prospects on defense
getting dimmer with the news of the two injuries that.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The Elliot one's big. He's out for the season.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
It's a depth player, but yeah, you hate to see
a guy have his season end.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Elliott We're not sure yet, and the Steelers do sign
MVS gets some help on offense. We'll talk with Gene
Starrator also at seven to forty five about some of
the worst NFL calls from this past weekend, your Game
Day Bar of the Week WDV, Butdlight Game Day Bar
of the Week Monticello's and Cranberry this NFL season, stopping
Monticello's and Cranberry and enjoy three dollars bud Light sixteen
(22:26):
ounce draft during all Steelers games.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Butt like easy to drink, Easy to enjoy. I love
that song and haven't heard it forever. Michelle is always
open to suggestions. Sweet Days at Noon if you wild
the menu in the Electric.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Lunch Good song Man. It's a great song on DV
from the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptionals.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
Apply It's eighteen innings worth the World Series Game three
last night, the Dodgers win it six to five on
a Freddy Freeman dinger in the bottom of the eighteenth,
But Freddy wanted to make sure everybody understood that while
he might have been the bottom of the eighteenth heierro
this was showe Otani's game, not Freeman. That was Freeman,
(23:11):
emphasizing that in the postgame reaction and Freddie Freeman had
a point. Show hey Otani officially batted four times and
had four hits, two doubles, and two dangers.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
He was walked five times, including four times intentionally.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We see like his last eight at bats at Dodger Stadium,
It's like five home runs and three doubles.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
The guy is on a run of a lifetime.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It's insanity and it's historic.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
First time a player has gotten on base nine times
in a postseason games only the fourth time it's happened
in any game, postseason or regular season. Second time a
player has had four extra base hits in a World
Series game. The first time was a guy by the
name of Frank Isbel for the nineteen o six White Song.
(24:05):
God Otani also became the first player to receive an
intentional walk in the ninethe inning or later with the
basis empty in a postseason kick.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Now he pitches tonight in Game four.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Well, at least he doesn't have to like move around
a lot, you know, you can just focus on the
pitching part of it because his legs have to be tired.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Unbelievable. Dodgers lead to series two games to one.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Had to get an ivy. Yeah, he was on base
nine times.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I mean, even in Milwaukee, you's still got to walk
down there.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Right, he's got his steps in.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Tony's got to pitch tonight tonight against Shane Bieber. I'm
gonna have to tune that in tonight.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Oh yeah, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I mean he's worth watching for. This is now.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I I never saw Babe Ruth play.
Speaker 11 (24:57):
But how is this not better? This is insane things
that have never happened or happened. It's only a couple.
You know, you could count them times they've happened on
one hand if you were Mordecai three finger browned.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Here's my question. Why did they pitch to him after that? Yeah,
this is Barry Bonds times two.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You're going to lose. That might have cost them the series, now,
you know, just pitching to him.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
Might have cost the J's Like, nobody hits four hundred,
and if you hit four hundred, it gets you out
six times out of ten.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
It's like, I get that he was on base nine times.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
You have to be hit over the head with it
before you just say, Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
It's crazy that he's batting leadoff too.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
He did last night. Yeah dude, well, I mean he
batted lead off the other day. He hadn't pitched in
thirteen days. He comes out there, strikes out the side
and then hits a bomb like to start the game
in that way was absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Two home runs, two doubles, five walks, insanity. Even if
they lose, he should be the MVP.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Totally. Yeah, so far.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Some games left here, although Freddy continuing to be mister
clutch when's he pitched?
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Right, exactly exactly.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Sidney Crosby bates of history last night as well, Penn's
beat the Blues six to three, and Crosby surpassed seventeen
hundred career points in the accomplishment that Crosby apparently had
an easier time doing than he did wrapping his head around.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (26:41):
I mean, I'm asking with those numbers a lot. I
think just you know what I've said before, it's just
joining that company. Those are the players that I grew up,
you know, idolizing and and didn't never think that I'd
be you know, with them or near them.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So you know, yeah, I just yeah, that's so that's
something I'm grateful for. They've been able to play the
song and.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
You know, be part of that group.
Speaker 11 (27:04):
Yeah, that group is seventeen hundred or more career points.
That group includes Wayne Gretzky, Armory Yager, Mark Messier, Gordie
how Ron Francis, Marcel Dion, Steve Eiserman, and Mario Lemieux.
Crosby did it in one three hundred and sixty two games.
Only Gretzky, Lemieux and Dion did it quicker. There's a
(27:27):
lot of these numbers associated with Crosby, and some of
them are Okay, this one's staggering.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Well, I mean, our surprise is muted because we're just
so used to him doing extraordinary things.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I mean, this is what This one makes me sit.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Back and go, wow, I'm so used to said doing
extraordinary things that the Penguin's winning is more of a
huh to me.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And they won and they're seventy too and one.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Yeah, I thought all of these mile markers would be
really the only storyline.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Worthwhile this season. They are not. It's incredible playing well.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
They scored two goals in the first minute last night,
lost that lead, and then just took the game back over.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Ironically, they are playing the right way, yes they are,
and Sully's Rangers are not playing the right way.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
A lot of hockey left, but not a great start
for them and tension getting start for the Penns who
were in Philly tonight.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Monday Night football.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
Last night, Chiefs beat the Commanders twenty eight to seven,
Kansas Cities five and three, and all of a sudden,
looking a lot like Kansas City Commanders fall to three
and five. They played pretty tight in the first half. Yeah,
seven to seven at the break. Steelers played the Packers
really well in the first half, That's true. How'd that
turn out? There's still reeling from that. Patrick Queen among
(28:58):
those who is having a hard time comprehending how bad
the Steelers have been defensively, and Queen also among those
who is insisting that ain't them.
Speaker 13 (29:08):
I'm not want to shy away from things. You know,
there's anytime there's fire, I'm willing to go running it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I don't care.
Speaker 13 (29:16):
Starting with me, I gotta be better and every single
day these guys don't get whatever they need from me, energy, focus,
whatever it is, urgency. I'm gonna be there for them.
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get to the ball.
I'm gonna do whatever I gotta do to help this
team win. And you know the best way I could
do that is by Levi example. You know, it's just
one thing to talk about. I'm gonna try to leave
and do that for them.
Speaker 11 (29:34):
Steelers hosting the Colts on Sunday, Reportedly they'll have wild
wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scantling available. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN
reporting that Aaron Rodgers old running mate in Green Bay
is signing on with the Stellers after five inconsequential games
with the forty nine Ers this year.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
That is crazy.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
At his best, he is a hell of a down
the field threat who has chemistry with rob What is
he known for? At worst, he's slay. He's the offensive
version of Slight.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
And it bothers me that that the forty nine ers are
moving on from because every single person on their team
is hurt, like they need.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Receives just saying it's worth a shot throw at the
wall sticks.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Maybe Rogers can get something out of him.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
Oh, I'm a big believer in that quarterback wide receiver
chemistry thing.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Nobody likes putting water in the soap dispenser to get
the last little bit out more than Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
We can shake it up and get plenty of suits.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
And I hope that this isn't like the beginning of
the We'll just get let Aaron round the team now,
like let him bring in all his buddies and we
start bringing in all the former Packers and guys that
he was friends with on the Jets.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
If you can get Reggie White in here, I'll all
forget that.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
I think he's permanently unavailable, not.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Mistaken Minister of Defenses.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah, permanently yes, yeah, but I are.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
What I think what you got to lose it this
point it Yeah, besides board games, Abby, he's got your
nies coming up top.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Of the hour.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Should tack rooms allow kids or not?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
In Ohio brewing companies receiving flak for kicking the kids out?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
All right, we got some questions for gene Steratre from
the NFL on CBS when we come back, and also
Charlie Batch, leader on This Morning.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Our next guest is brought.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
To you by Schnyderdown See what big thinking with a
personal focus can do for you from.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
The NFL on ZBS. It's Gene Gene my reviewing MS.
Jeez there, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Hey buddy, how are you this morning? Well?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You know, I'm feeling better than I did yesterday. It's
like one day removed. What are the five stages of grief?
I think I'm in that bargaining.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Everything is fine. Yeah, we're all gonna be okay. Drinking, yeah,
all of that.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
But I don't, for one instance think the Steelers Wilways
have anything to do with the refs, though. I do
think there were some questionable calls. The neutral zone infraction
that didn't get called. I thought balanced out Broderick Jones
leaving a day and a half early on that drive
to Escore at the end of the first half, so
I'm like, all right, that evens out.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
He was clearly the neutral zone that should have been called.
It was when things happened.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Now, the question I really have is on the Tucker
Craft huge was a fifty eight yard reception fifty Yeah?
Was that a push off on Craft to Elliott or
is that just two guys kind of fighting it out
there for the ball?
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Yeah, it feels like the play like felt like a
hell Mary pass, ye know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
It was like lobbing it up in the air.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
It was like a punt you had to forget, you
to kind of forgot for a minute like is this
a pass or a punt? But there's definitely some There's
some pushing off back and forth and hands stuff.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
That they push a little more than he should have,
more than likely.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
Yeah, but I mean when you look at when you
look at ugly, ugly plays like that and see like.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
This jump ball coming down out of nowhere. Yeah, you know,
it just didn't feel it didn't feel like the.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Traditional like, hey, he gained a major advantage here, you know,
I mean we were in great position or this or that,
but yeah, you could throw a flag on the place.
You know, it's a terribly ugly play. And uh, you know,
adding on to some of the other really mistakes that
were made, not just in Pittsburgh, but kind of throughout
the you know, throughout the league.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Well, the one question I do want to ask you
about that neutral zone infraction is it looked like Aaron
Rodgers almost talk those guys into throwing a flag.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
About a half an hour after.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
It happened, they did huddle up again.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And Patrick Mahomes is pretty good at doing that to
the reps, it seems like too. But what exactly were
they talking about there? Is it one one ref going hey, guys,
I think we missed that. I think I saw that,
and the other guy going, well, we can't do it. Now,
We're gonna look terrible, but you.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Know what, look, yeah, from the officiating lens, those types
of things cause me major anger and anxiety at the
same time because these are misses, right, I mean, this
is a lack of concentration mistake. You have two officials
looking down the line of scrimmage who's primary responsibility before
(35:22):
the action even begins is to make.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
Sure that people don't false start and.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
People aren't in the neutral zone at to snap. It's
not like, hey, this play was fast and somebody screened
me out or something.
Speaker 9 (35:35):
No, they didn't.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
You're looking right down the barrel of the gun there.
I mean, get the play right then when you see
officials want to have this collaboration here after a play
like that, that causes me anger, like truthfully, as a fan,
as an official more than anything.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
It's like, there's no reason to have a conversation.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Now if you miss this layup, then you miss the layup,
But don't start talking like is that a block in
the back?
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Is it a sidewalk? Did one of you other guys
or guys have a different angle and let's walk through this. No.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Now, from the referee standpoint, like you're back there fifteen
yards behind the line of scrimmage, you feel a couple
players like dancing into the neutral zone but you're not looking.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Down the line.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
Yeah, you've got a feeling like we've probably missed something.
Quite honestly, listen, man, when Aaron Rodgers would turn and
look at me on the field and say, hey, gee,
they missed that. Probably pretty good bet they missed it,
you know what I mean? Like those guys are that
tuned in, they know when it's a free play. And
he says in the double triple coverage on the play,
thinking that this is a free play.
Speaker 9 (36:35):
Now what if that's a pick? Even worse?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
I mean, we can even get uglier here on what
was already ugly. But yeah, there's so many different levels
of plays like that. And then to sit in our
conference because we all have seen too many conferences and
the conspiracy theorists can do whatever they want when you conference,
Like who is officiating this? Who were you talking to?
Who are you listening to? Get away from the conferencing,
(37:00):
you missed the layup? Move on to do somebody out
at halftime and put your big boushoes on and start
getting this stuff right.
Speaker 9 (37:08):
We're in the NFL and we can't miss it. So
not good, bad optics.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
And I think Terry McCauley did a great job. They
went right to him on the broadcast, right, and he
immediately said, without hesitation, No, this isn't something you revisit
right now. You missed it, Like get the ball back
down and wind the clock because this is ugly and
we don't really need to make it uglier.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
You know what gives me anger, among other things, inadvertent
whistles during the play, and there are a couple of
examples of those on Sunday. What I mean, that's kind
of a lay up too, right, like just wait till
it's over.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
Yeah, because especially in this day and age, I lived
in a moment where we didn't have.
Speaker 9 (37:50):
In the immediate continuing action.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
We did think he was down by contact, but he
really did fumble, and no, we can't give you the return,
but we can give you the recovery. So then we
had to start kind of tweaking officiating in this instantaneous reaction,
Like if you think it's a pass fumble on the quarterback,
just real fumble, because we can fix it, you know,
with technology and revisiting it. Don't blow the player dead,
(38:15):
because leave it play even though you saw the need
of them, but let it play because we can fix it.
And now you have situations where that's kind of the
mechanic that you want to have. And now we put
air in a play where a guy's going in for
you know, a scoop and score and you're blowing whistles.
Speaker 9 (38:33):
Yeah, they're not. This is not the standard that we, uh,
you know, that we need to be living by.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Truthfully, Geene, what what do you think is wrong with
the Steelers defense?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
You watch a lot of football.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
There's a lot of good players on that defense, and
they look like they have no idea what they're doing
a lot of times right now, Constant blown coverages when
you've you met around a lot, is this something that
you can like, you know, pull a string and everything
flies back into position and it's all fixed. Or is
this just so fubar that you can't do anything to
(39:08):
bring it back into cohesion?
Speaker 9 (39:12):
You know, quite honestly, my thoughts.
Speaker 7 (39:16):
On a lot of this and being around this business
for almost thirty years. Now you can group about eight plays,
you work your butt off to get to third and seven, right,
and now you just have this this breakdown. There's a
breakdown there there's a there's a miscommunication, there's a there's
something that occurs, and now a new series begins. These
(39:37):
seven eight plays that you just have that breakdown. They
change the dynamic of the game immediately. And when you're
playing a team of high quality, it is those lapses,
which truly do come down to five or six scenarios. Yeah,
it's snowballs, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Then.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
And then the thing that really is kind of perplexing to.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
Me is that you're just looking at these these players
that we know perform at a level that's been elite, right,
and we look and we just don't look like we're
that team. It doesn't look like it's that Where is
that person that does step up?
Speaker 9 (40:14):
That is why he is who he is? You know,
shutting that play down and getting off the field kind
of thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
And when you have teams, like I said, of this quality,
an extension of the series, whether they score on it
or not, has taken another four minutes.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Out of this game.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
You've changed the dynamic of this game immediately. There was
a little breakdown on a third and seventh player, I
think when Rogers was trying to go to Metcalf on
the side. Metcalf thought he might go back shoulder kind
of broke down on his route and Rogers put the
ball in front of Metcalf and kind of had a
little inside leverage on a d back and threw it
in this tight little window, which is a hard window
(40:50):
to throw this ball. And I watched the game last
night to watch a couple other things, and you can
see his confusion there. And I think there's another piece
of that trust level, like.
Speaker 9 (40:59):
Maybe DKs and it's not used to playing with somebody
that puts the ball in this little two foot window.
Speaker 7 (41:05):
Just keep running, I can put it in that window, dude,
Like trust, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (41:11):
You know what I mean? Like I saw that play.
That play jumped right off the screen at me because
at that point, you're still winning the football game. You're
it's a series, it's a new first down. It allows
you to keep doing what you do and what's kind
of your defining yourself right now as a team.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
And now you're gett knocked off that rail. And like
I say, you know, you're playing with the team that
puts up two touchdowns. If you make two errors in
the previous two series, is now your playbook changed the
game switched and those are the nuances I get it.
Speaker 9 (41:41):
Yeah, yeah, and that's what we're at.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
And that's where you're out when you're starting to play
these people. And I'm watching India every week because on
CBS a lot. This team is really like what Daniel Jones.
Speaker 9 (41:51):
Is doing is is real, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Like they're a fishing as hell and uh, and that's
where you're supposed to be.
Speaker 9 (41:57):
Look rather than be feared of this. Uh, this is
why we play the games. This is why you're in
this place.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
And now the true measure of this football team to
me is this week now coming up right, and you're
on prime time stages.
Speaker 9 (42:11):
You don't like doing this when you're playing national TV games.
It's Thursday night or Sunday night or Monday night. You're
the reason why you're on is because you are.
Speaker 7 (42:18):
Who you are or you claim to be. It's time
to step that up right now. And you know there's
a silver lining, fellows where we're getting to the halfway point.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Right, it's also.
Speaker 9 (42:30):
Worth right, so I mean, you know.
Speaker 7 (42:34):
Wherever the optimist dude, but it's uh, if it's if
it's that where we're at, that's that that's where.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
We are, you know, I mean we are where we are.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
There was a play that I was thinking, you know,
you must have really appreciated on Sunday night because I
know that you are a fan of Aaron Rodgers' ability,
talent processing and just his football brain. The one where
he's where he throws it down before he gets sacked
and he kind of like just Warren sty you like, yeah,
(43:02):
I thought he fumbled it there and I was just going,
what does he doing? He's training in too much. This
is exactly who you're not supposed to be. And it
turns out he was doing the opposite of that. He
was doing the super smart thing there, exploiting a rule
that has no business in football. Vescil, if that's a
football I'm the King of England.
Speaker 9 (43:20):
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, I mean you know what.
Speaker 7 (43:24):
We watched it and then you're you are an amazement
because you think bonehead play and then you watch the
replay and go unbelievable. But when you're down there right
and you see that occur, and you're not talking about like, hey,
he had three seconds to think, but no he didn't.
He had two tenths of a second to think about it.
While someone that was three hundred pounds was trying to
yank his human body through the turf, and he still
(43:44):
knew push it forward, Just push it forward, you know.
I mean there's a level of awareness, right. It's the
level of awareness that that he has that's just in
a different place, man. And look if that again, sober learning,
if anyone and pull that type of element out of
this and get somebody back on the rails.
Speaker 9 (44:04):
That's what teams need.
Speaker 7 (44:05):
You have to have someone like that when things are
at this place that have to lift.
Speaker 9 (44:10):
And that's that's what you hope happens.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Gee Teratory brought to you by Schneider Downs this morning
on DV. Thanks Gen. Now we'll talk to you next week,
buddy
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Have a good guess, right, stuff man, This more than
one hundred diverse consulting offering Schneider Downs doesn't focus on
what service to provide, but rather what problems they can
help you solve.
Berg shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is w d V Pittsburgh, and it's all because
Ursa's daughter went down on the sidelines and started listening
to all the play calling.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
All the owners are gonna be it's a copycat league.
Get down there, Art.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Just to see what you guys are talking about. He's
the most mellow owner ever.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
You have all these bombastic a hole billionaires and arts
like Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I think we need to just look at the situation
and figure out the best solution.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Can we make art have like a Christmas album? We
can do like on the side, like do like.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
This m Rudle the Red he went Brandy Bellman and
the DV morning show.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Santa would all of a sudden just start going five hundred.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, we got to have the kids' houses. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Art's under a lot of fire right now. A lot
of people are getting under Art's skin right now. I
would imagine he's probably feeling the heat because people are like,
why are you standing packed for this? Well, I mean
I would say that now's not the time to do anything,
so there's nothing to do now. But I wonder it's
not just Art, you know, there are other people in
the ownership, I don't, you know, he's got the controlling
(01:30):
power of it all. But I just always wonder what
the consultation from other people with Equity and the Steelers
is in regards to moving on if that were to
ever happen. You know, it is a scary thing when
your organization is known for sticking with coaches for ultimate loyalty.
(01:52):
But the NFL's changed a lot, and I wonder if
they're starting to absorb all of that and think, like, well,
if they can't turn it around this year. I mean,
I don't think that he has to win the Super
Bowl to save his job or anything, but if it
looks terrible, if it looks like it did on Sunday
Night and keeps getting worse, which with injuries defensively, it's
conceivable that wasn't as bad as it's gonna get.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Right, I think the more likely thing is is the decoordinator,
even if he is just a figurehead, I think that
that's the move because if you look at it, I
know that Art wants to win playoff games. I know
that he's trying to do everything he can behind the
scenes to make sure that happens. And if you look
at the last couple of off seasons. They are taking
(02:37):
huge swings. They're doing things that they've never done. They're
breaking the bank in the offseason to bring these guys in.
Now it not working is something that you have to
reevaluate after that. But it's clear they're trying to do
anything they can well.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And they're using draft capital on the defense too. You know,
it's crazy that, like Patrick Queen giving him what was
then the highest free agent contract in the organization history.
He's not a guy I was thinking, like, oh, he's
falling off. I mean, I thought they paid what they
should have for him, and they got him at the
right time, and I think he struggled mightily in year one,
(03:14):
started to get better, but because the other side of
that linebacking tandem is constantly influxed, that we're not getting
the best out of that position. Jalen Ramsey, I think
he's about where I thought he was gonna be, but
maybe a step slower. He gets burned a couple more
times than I thought, but I mean it is only
(03:36):
by like he's missing it by fingertips, you know, the
t Higgins burn against the Bengals. Of course, he kind
of fell down, but He's not like running five yards
behind these guys like Slay and whatever slaves like Slay's cooked. Yeah,
you know, and that wasn't a huge signing. I mean
that was more along the lines of a Pat Peach.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I mean with the DK signing, that's again they o
the bank.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
They did, They broke their own record of money they
spent in the offseason.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And would you say that he has lived up to
what they were hoping for.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
I think that he's been really good.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
I think it's hard to judge him because the offensive
line and the offense has sort of been slow to form,
and the fact that you don't have a legit number
two to draw any coverage away from him. I do
think that he's had a bunch of drops, but I
think he's had that his whole career.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Mvs getting signed by the Steelers yesterday and probably not
in the lineup this weekend, I guess, but that maybe
that's your number two. Maybe that's what does it they have.
He and Aaron Rodgers have a history together. Mike had
a real good analysis of DK's game on Sunday night.
Not a lot of people would were pointing the finger
at DK metcalf after Sunday Night's lost to the Packers,
(04:50):
but Mike pointed out a whole lot of evidence that
we could have got a whole lot more from DK
in that game, though he certainly was not the soul lame.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
For why things went the way they did.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
The defense just collapsed, and I don't think anybody thought.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I thought we'd be not historic.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I thought coach Tomlin was kind of trying to pump
the tires on his defense a little bit. But I
thought we'd be on the good side of middle of
the pack, you know what I mean. I thought it
would be about like the twelfth to you know, thirteenth
ranked defense or something like that, not bottom of the barrel,
not like bouncing up and down between the Cowboys and
the Bengals defense.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Right now, Oh man, it looks really bad.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It does look really bad.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
It's it's the worst ranking that the total defense has
had ever.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Michael, have more coming up at bottom of the hour.
We'll talk to Gene Sterarator about some of the crazy
calls in that game on Sunday Night, and also the
tush push continues to be a burr in the saddle
of the league and another tush push controversy this past weekend.
Charlie Batch at eight forty five and Abby's got your news.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Now, what's up?
Speaker 7 (05:57):
News?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
This hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems Web
Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. It's mostly sunny and breezy today.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
With a high of fifty six.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
A section of the Parkway East ranks among the riskiest
roads in the country, according to All State. All State
analyzed driving behavior across the fifty most populous US cities
and identify the ten riskiest road segments based on rates
of heartbreaking and speeding, two key indicators of aggressive driving.
(06:28):
The Parkway East outbound from Exit seventy four to Beechwood
Boulevard before the Squirrel Hill Tunnel came in fifth place,
so Exit seventy four is the squirrel Hill Homestead exit.
All States said the riskiest times to travel in that
portion of the Parkway East are eleven pm to four
(06:50):
am Monday through Thursday, midnight to four am Friday, and
eleven pm to twelve am on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Ye that that turn to go to Greenfield, Man is
absolutely treacherous at times.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Not a part of town that I drive a whole
lot anytime I do, I definitely get my spidy senses
up of like all right, this is yeah, this is
where it can go down.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yep, Because as soon as you go like to Homestead,
there's still like the lanes of like are you going
to turn to go up into Squirrel Hill or are
you gonna go into the waterfront?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Right, we just don't know disappearing lanes, but the drivers
don't know. Sometimes there's people like looking at their GPS,
and you know, I think the automatic assumption I have
is that like everybody's from Pittsburgh and everybody knows where
they're supposed to go. But you know, so when people
aren't making the turns or getting into position to make
the turn.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
You're like, what the hell are you doing? Why are
you doing this?
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Now?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, some people are like look at their GPS
or like I'm from Lancaster, what the hell's going on here?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Are you nicer when you see somebody's out of state plates?
Like if you see somebody you know, be like, oh.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
New York's gonna screw this up. I'll go slower. I'm
more understanding. I wouldn't say I'm nicer.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Yeah, I'm more understanding.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I back up.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
It helps me put it in context.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, like, this idiot's not going to be able to
handle the four pigs on all.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
And if they do it like without like any trouble
at all, and they have out of state plates, I'm like, oh,
that's a drug dealer who rented that car.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I think that anybody that's new to the city or
coming in from out of state and driving should just
put like patience student driver on the back of their car, like,
because that does help me at least. I'm like, well,
there's a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They should offer them at the on the turnpike. Yeah,
exactly this I'm not from here.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
They'll think you're a jag off if you don't have
this on the back of your car.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
John bon Jovi has said that he would like to
see a biopic of his life at some point after
the release of Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere. With that
film in mind, bon Jovi has told the Son that
he would like to see his own life dramatized in
a feature film at some point in the future. He
suggested that his own son, Jake, who is twenty three
(09:09):
and is also an actor and a model, and he
has starred in films rock Bottom and Sweethearts, which I'm
sure you've both seen, would be the ideal candidate to
play him in the film, although he's in no rush
to see it being made, saying that he's not in
his final chapter yet and he is still living his
next chapter.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well that's great.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I've never seen either of those.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No VI nor VI.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Rock Bottom and Sweethearts not ringing a bell.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
No, you want to see a movie about bon Jovi's life?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Oh my god, Oh yeah, it's his life. It's now
or never.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Only if it's Jeremy Allen White. He's going to do
all the rock stars from that one.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Or Shallo Ma Shallame can do it. You know, Shallame
can do it.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Chala May is bonjov No, why dude, he's not hunky enough.
You gotta have a hunk. It's got to be a
dude with half Did.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
He have to gain weight to play Dylan?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Actually?
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Which is insane?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Right? Like, I mean you're not Bob.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Like did Bob Dylan grow up in a prison camp?
Because Timothy shallow May is a bean pole?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Well that was his whole persona.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Don't forget you know, Bob Dylan tried to pretend like
he jumped off a train with a bindle over his shoulder.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, and you know, I.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Was in the circus and everyone's like, you were raised
in a middle class neighborhood in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I don't know. I worked for the Bearded Lady for uh,
trimmed the beard. No, you didn't Chin Harris exact.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
That was why the scene in that movie where Joan
Biez is like, yeah, you're full of bleep is so
great because not everybody bought his whole story.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
But at any rate, he was very, very skinny.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
If you're gonna play John bon Jovi, you're gonna have
to get like Jersey bowhunky eighties Powell.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
I don't like Glenn Palell's too strong of a jaw.
I don't like him.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I feel like I should like Glenn Powell more than
I do.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
He's he's made in a lab.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Well, yeah, they're trying to shove Glenn Powell down our throats.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
He paused.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
He works with Richard link Later, and I usually like
all the stuff that link Later does. And he did
that movie Everybody Wants Them, which is kind of like
The Days and Confused sequel about a small college in
the eighties in Texas, and he's very good in that,
and he's not even really the star. And then he
did that spy movie or whatever, that spot whatever it was, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
That movie's actually not terrible.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I haven't revisited it, but on first viewing I thought,
I was like, this is entertaining. But every I watched
the first episode of the TV series he's doing with
Peyton Manning right now, Chad Powers.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
Okay, it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I just I don't know what it is. I think
you nailed it.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Abby.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
He's grown in a lab.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
They're trying to make him Tom Cruise and like, I
don't know, he just well.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
He did that Maverick reboot, right, Yeah, yeah, I can't
root for him.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I think that's the problem. Yeah, it's like you've already
got it all, buddy.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
There's no story there for me.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
There's just like that's a good way of putting it.
There's nothing to root for it. There's no yeah, no
contour to him.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, there's no grit, no grit. Show me a flaw, dude,
you have like zits on your back. I need to
see them.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He's much too handsome.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
There was a Consequence article that was talking about all
of the worst biopics in music, and I know we've
talked about Bohemian Rhapsody that came in at number one.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Wait, actually no, it wasn't number one. It was number two.
I think on their list. Let me double check the
order there.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Number one.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
There was a David Bowie.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Movie from twenty twenty called Stardust, and they said that
that was the worst.
Speaker 6 (12:59):
The hell was Bowie?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Johnny Flynn, Oh, Johnny Flynn, Okay, I will tell you
one was so bad that people don't even bring it
up because it was just like not even consideration for
being an actual movie.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And it was when Andre three thousand played Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Hendrick that and he wasn't terrible as Jimmy Hendrix, but
they didn't get the rights to any of the music.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And it's it's really bad. It's that's a problem.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Oh, the production level was really really low and not
having the music when you're doing a movie about Jimmy
Hendricks's problematic way.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
Yeah, I'd actually like to see him do it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I would too.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
It's called all Is by my Side. It was thirteen.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Did did they do it?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Bob Marley movie? Yeah? Oh yeah, it was a huge hit.
What's his name?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Who was in that?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
The guy?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Uh, the actor who played oh, he played Martin Luther,
or he played Malcolm X in the in that the
movie is an oscar where there's like Malcolm X, momat
Ali and all those guys like meet in a hotel
room one night in Miami. I think it's called yeah,
and it's I mean, it's it's good, it's not great.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I think that they have the music.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Yeah, they got the rights to do it.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
But I think that movie, if it was criticized, it
got a similar Bohemian Rhapsody kind of treatment where they
were like, here's the nice version.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
He was a Rastafarian, And I'm watching that movie and
I'm like, I just realized, I don't really know anything
about that religion other than I'm like, oh, they smoke weed.
And so I looked it up and there's a reason
that that movie gets whitewashed.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is probably not the right term.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Blackwashed, yes, because the tenants of that theology are not
exactly not great for women. No, it's very misogynistic and
they oh, yeah, you're not. You're It's like women are
very second class and subservient, and uh, that is kind
(15:06):
of the rule of it all, and they painted in
that movie like where his wife's like, I know you're
having affairs.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And he's like, I'm not, though I love you.
Speaker 9 (15:14):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Meanwhile, he probably would not have allowed her to talk
to him like.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That, you know what I mean? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Yeah, so so one love is a bad title. Then
there were so many loves.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
There was a lot of loves.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, a lot of loves, one million loves.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
The weird thing is he had a curable form of
cancer and he wouldn't get it treated because they just
believed in like, oh he just smoked this away.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And he would It's really dumb.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
It wasn't lung cancer, was it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I believe it was melanoma that that's spread.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Really Anyways, Kingsley Bendere is the guy who Yeah he Kingsley.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He looks like Obama, that actor. Yeah, yeah, he looks
like the artist J Cole a little bit.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Anyway, I don't remember seeing him in anything, honestly, Like
I know you said some of his work.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
He's not super familiar to me either.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
He was like he was getting thrown around for Oscar
bait there for a while.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Oh no kidding.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
There was some other stuff that was on the list
that I didn't agree with. I actually, I'm probably in
the minority. I actually liked The Dirt because it was
it was as cartoonish as Motley Crue is to me,
So to me, it would like completely fit.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I would not want to see the standard bio pic
formula for Motley Crue. It it had exactly as much
stupid like it opened.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
This is dumb as Molly Crue.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
The opening scene is perfectly vile like them.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that was aggressive. I was not expecting
that beginning.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
The only thing is like Tommy Lee continues to get
such a path it drives me crazy.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
I wonder if that's ever gonna catch up with him.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I feel like there's been so many times.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Where it's like, are we gonna get him now?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
No, And in that movie he gets a little bit
of a pass too. Oh hell yeah, Well so does Vince.
I mean, honestly, they all do. I mean the whole
dizzy Rascal thing.
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Yeah, let's just forget that part.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
It's kind of a big deal, all right, really unfortunate.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah yeah, anyways, watch the Dirt.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
You can watch the Dirt.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Don't be like Sean Casey though, and watch it with
your kids. Do not do that, right, don't watch it
with your kid.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Just watch the first ten minutes and then imagine watching
that with your kids.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, would it be worse to watch it with your
mom or with your kids?
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
My god, kids, what's the worst movie you ever watched
with your with your mom or your parents? Because mine
is a clockwork Orange and my mom what ripped it
out of the VCR.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
And beat you to death with it?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It was my older sister had come back from college
and put it in like on a Friday night, and
my mom lost her mind watching it at the scene
that you can all imagine.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yes, she made it too, and that was it.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
I remember watching a lot of movies with my mom,
Like we watched stuff, but she was always in and
out of the room, like I gotta go get another
cup of coffee, and you know, I smoked seven more cigarettes.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
I'll be back in a second.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Did your mom know what a clockwork orange was? She
was watching it with you, she had no idea. What
about your kids?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
What's the worst movie you guys watch with your kids
or the most uncomfortable?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
I mean, you know the movie that Abby recommended for me.
But and to her defense, she did not tell me
like watch this with you.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I didn't say watch it with your kids.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
I thought I was going to watch it with his girlfriend.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
He told me to watch this movie Barbarian And there
is a shocking nude scene midway through that movie.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
That is not the worst I could have done for you,
no at all.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I'm glad you didn't do your worst.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
I know I didn't because that was.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I mean, it was so awkward that we all hysterically
laugh because it's this old woman with just it's it's
very gross, and then she smashes a guy's head off
the wall.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I haven't had any wild experiences with Eadie yet.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
A little too young.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
She's a little too young.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Although I will tell you that a reminder that at
one point, you know, like Sesame Street was still on HBO,
and like you know, whenever you log into HBO, you
know it's HBO, And there was a time that I
went to put it on for her, and like Hal
Sagucci came on in the scene where like Lady Gaga's
getting railed.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
And I'm just like I just to be off real
quick and just be like, let's Wait a minute, why
don't you go upstairs and get some apple slices?
Speaker 8 (20:01):
Well logging?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Yeah, And I would also say that any anybody out.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
There who's our age, who's.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Looking to go back to like the classics, you really
got to rewatch them because you forget that it was
the eighties and there are nude scenes for absolutely no
reason at all in those movies.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, there were boobs, just to see boobs.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Like, pornography was not everywhere back then, so you had
to get it in just little doses.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, tiny little shops.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Want to do a shooter, here's some shooters.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
And because I watched like Adventures and Babysitting, I'm like,
I remember this movie.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Straight up classic. Two girls like that, they'll love love
that movie.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
There is a whole sideline, like a whole side plot
to that movie that the neighbor and everybody in the
town thinks, Elizabeth Shoe the babysitter is a hooker, right, No,
a nude model, like she's in Playboy and Penhouse, And
like the neighbor comes by and opens up the centerfold
(21:06):
and he's like making disgusting you know, mouth motions on
the door.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
And then like.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Everybody like there's billboards with her nude and it looks
like her, And that's a whole side story that.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
I'm like, well, this is awkward. I forgot about this completely.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, and then yeah, and Boogie Nights was really a
bad choice. You can't ever watch it.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
He hated it.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
She was like, that's not realistic, all right, mostly sunny
and breezy today, I hire a fifty six.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Do you know Leonardo DiCaprio got offered that role first
and he turned it down.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Dirk Tiggler, that's good.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Yeah, probably a good call.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Mark Wahlberg is he was a perfect writing dumb Yeah,
you have to be dumb.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
For that little dim Yeah, he played dem very well.
Mike coming in here, and the Steelers prospects on defense
getting dimmer with the news of the two injuries that.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The Elliot one's big. He's out for the season.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
It's a depth player, but yeah, you hate to see
a guy have his season end.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Elliott We're not sure yet, and the Steelers do sign
MVS gets some help on offense. We'll talk with Gene
Starrator also at seven to forty five about some of
the worst NFL calls from this past weekend, your Game
Day Bar of the Week WDV, Butdlight Game Day Bar
of the Week Monticello's and Cranberry this NFL season, stopping
Monticello's and Cranberry and enjoy three dollars bud Light sixteen
(22:26):
ounce draft during all Steelers games.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Butt like easy to drink, Easy to enjoy. I love
that song and haven't heard it forever. Michelle is always
open to suggestions. Sweet Days at Noon if you wild
the menu in the Electric.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Lunch Good song Man. It's a great song on DV
from the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptionals.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
Apply It's eighteen innings worth the World Series Game three
last night, the Dodgers win it six to five on
a Freddy Freeman dinger in the bottom of the eighteenth,
But Freddy wanted to make sure everybody understood that while
he might have been the bottom of the eighteenth heierro
this was showe Otani's game, not Freeman. That was Freeman,
(23:11):
emphasizing that in the postgame reaction and Freddie Freeman had
a point. Show hey Otani officially batted four times and
had four hits, two doubles, and two dangers.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
He was walked five times, including four times intentionally.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
We see like his last eight at bats at Dodger Stadium,
It's like five home runs and three doubles.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
The guy is on a run of a lifetime.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It's insanity and it's historic.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
First time a player has gotten on base nine times
in a postseason games only the fourth time it's happened
in any game, postseason or regular season. Second time a
player has had four extra base hits in a World
Series game. The first time was a guy by the
name of Frank Isbel for the nineteen o six White Song.
(24:05):
God Otani also became the first player to receive an
intentional walk in the ninethe inning or later with the
basis empty in a postseason kick.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Now he pitches tonight in Game four.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Well, at least he doesn't have to like move around
a lot, you know, you can just focus on the
pitching part of it because his legs have to be tired.
Speaker 11 (24:27):
Unbelievable. Dodgers lead to series two games to one.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Had to get an ivy. Yeah, he was on base
nine times.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I mean, even in Milwaukee, you's still got to walk
down there.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
Right, he's got his steps in.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Tony's got to pitch tonight tonight against Shane Bieber. I'm
gonna have to tune that in tonight.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Oh yeah, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I mean he's worth watching for. This is now.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I I never saw Babe Ruth play.
Speaker 11 (24:57):
But how is this not better? This is insane things
that have never happened or happened. It's only a couple.
You know, you could count them times they've happened on
one hand if you were Mordecai three finger browned.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Here's my question. Why did they pitch to him after that? Yeah,
this is Barry Bonds times two.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You're going to lose. That might have cost them the series, now,
you know, just pitching to him.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
Might have cost the J's Like, nobody hits four hundred,
and if you hit four hundred, it gets you out
six times out of ten.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
It's like, I get that he was on base nine times.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
You have to be hit over the head with it
before you just say, Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
It's crazy that he's batting leadoff too.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
He did last night. Yeah dude, well, I mean he
batted lead off the other day. He hadn't pitched in
thirteen days. He comes out there, strikes out the side
and then hits a bomb like to start the game
in that way was absolutely insane.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Two home runs, two doubles, five walks, insanity. Even if
they lose, he should be the MVP.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Totally. Yeah, so far.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Some games left here, although Freddy continuing to be mister
clutch when's he pitched?
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Right, exactly exactly.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Sidney Crosby bates of history last night as well, Penn's
beat the Blues six to three, and Crosby surpassed seventeen
hundred career points in the accomplishment that Crosby apparently had
an easier time doing than he did wrapping his head around.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (26:41):
I mean, I'm asking with those numbers a lot. I
think just you know what I've said before, it's just
joining that company. Those are the players that I grew up,
you know, idolizing and and didn't never think that I'd
be you know, with them or near them.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So you know, yeah, I just yeah, that's so that's
something I'm grateful for. They've been able to play the
song and.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
You know, be part of that group.
Speaker 11 (27:04):
Yeah, that group is seventeen hundred or more career points.
That group includes Wayne Gretzky, Armory Yager, Mark Messier, Gordie
how Ron Francis, Marcel Dion, Steve Eiserman, and Mario Lemieux.
Crosby did it in one three hundred and sixty two games.
Only Gretzky, Lemieux and Dion did it quicker. There's a
(27:27):
lot of these numbers associated with Crosby, and some of
them are Okay, this one's staggering.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Well, I mean, our surprise is muted because we're just
so used to him doing extraordinary things.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I mean, this is what This one makes me sit.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Back and go, wow, I'm so used to said doing
extraordinary things that the Penguin's winning is more of a
huh to me.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And they won and they're seventy too and one.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Yeah, I thought all of these mile markers would be
really the only storyline.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Worthwhile this season. They are not. It's incredible playing well.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
They scored two goals in the first minute last night,
lost that lead, and then just took the game back over.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Ironically, they are playing the right way, yes they are,
and Sully's Rangers are not playing the right way.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
A lot of hockey left, but not a great start
for them and tension getting start for the Penns who
were in Philly tonight.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Monday Night football.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
Last night, Chiefs beat the Commanders twenty eight to seven,
Kansas Cities five and three, and all of a sudden,
looking a lot like Kansas City Commanders fall to three
and five. They played pretty tight in the first half. Yeah,
seven to seven at the break. Steelers played the Packers
really well in the first half, That's true. How'd that
turn out? There's still reeling from that. Patrick Queen among
(28:58):
those who is having a hard time comprehending how bad
the Steelers have been defensively, and Queen also among those
who is insisting that ain't them.
Speaker 13 (29:08):
I'm not want to shy away from things. You know,
there's anytime there's fire, I'm willing to go running it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I don't care.
Speaker 13 (29:16):
Starting with me, I gotta be better and every single
day these guys don't get whatever they need from me, energy, focus,
whatever it is, urgency. I'm gonna be there for them.
I'm gonna get there, I'm gonna get to the ball.
I'm gonna do whatever I gotta do to help this
team win. And you know the best way I could
do that is by Levi example. You know, it's just
one thing to talk about. I'm gonna try to leave
and do that for them.
Speaker 11 (29:34):
Steelers hosting the Colts on Sunday, Reportedly they'll have wild
wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scantling available. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN
reporting that Aaron Rodgers old running mate in Green Bay
is signing on with the Stellers after five inconsequential games
with the forty nine Ers this year.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
That is crazy.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
At his best, he is a hell of a down
the field threat who has chemistry with rob What is
he known for? At worst, he's slay. He's the offensive
version of Slight.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
And it bothers me that that the forty nine ers are
moving on from because every single person on their team
is hurt, like they need.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Receives just saying it's worth a shot throw at the
wall sticks.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Maybe Rogers can get something out of him.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
Oh, I'm a big believer in that quarterback wide receiver
chemistry thing.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Nobody likes putting water in the soap dispenser to get
the last little bit out more than Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
We can shake it up and get plenty of suits.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
And I hope that this isn't like the beginning of
the We'll just get let Aaron round the team now,
like let him bring in all his buddies and we
start bringing in all the former Packers and guys that
he was friends with on the Jets.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
If you can get Reggie White in here, I'll all
forget that.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
I think he's permanently unavailable, not.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Mistaken Minister of Defenses.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah, permanently yes, yeah, but I are.
Speaker 11 (30:58):
What I think what you got to lose it this
point it Yeah, besides board games, Abby, he's got your
nies coming up top.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Of the hour.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Should tack rooms allow kids or not?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
In Ohio brewing companies receiving flak for kicking the kids out?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
All right, we got some questions for gene Steratre from
the NFL on CBS when we come back, and also
Charlie Batch, leader on This Morning.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Our next guest is brought.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
To you by Schnyderdown See what big thinking with a
personal focus can do for you from.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
The NFL on ZBS. It's Gene Gene my reviewing MS.
Jeez there, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
Hey buddy, how are you this morning? Well?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
You know, I'm feeling better than I did yesterday. It's
like one day removed. What are the five stages of grief?
I think I'm in that bargaining.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Everything is fine. Yeah, we're all gonna be okay. Drinking, yeah,
all of that.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
But I don't, for one instance think the Steelers Wilways
have anything to do with the refs, though. I do
think there were some questionable calls. The neutral zone infraction
that didn't get called. I thought balanced out Broderick Jones
leaving a day and a half early on that drive
to Escore at the end of the first half, so
I'm like, all right, that evens out.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
He was clearly the neutral zone that should have been called.
It was when things happened.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Now, the question I really have is on the Tucker
Craft huge was a fifty eight yard reception fifty Yeah?
Was that a push off on Craft to Elliott or
is that just two guys kind of fighting it out
there for the ball?
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Yeah, it feels like the play like felt like a
hell Mary pass, ye know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
It was like lobbing it up in the air.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
It was like a punt you had to forget, you
to kind of forgot for a minute like is this
a pass or a punt? But there's definitely some There's
some pushing off back and forth and hands stuff.
Speaker 9 (34:00):
That they push a little more than he should have,
more than likely.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
Yeah, but I mean when you look at when you
look at ugly, ugly plays like that and see like.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
This jump ball coming down out of nowhere. Yeah, you know,
it just didn't feel it didn't feel like the.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Traditional like, hey, he gained a major advantage here, you know,
I mean we were in great position or this or that,
but yeah, you could throw a flag on the place.
You know, it's a terribly ugly play. And uh, you know,
adding on to some of the other really mistakes that
were made, not just in Pittsburgh, but kind of throughout
the you know, throughout the league.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Well, the one question I do want to ask you
about that neutral zone infraction is it looked like Aaron
Rodgers almost talk those guys into throwing a flag.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
About a half an hour after.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
It happened, they did huddle up again.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And Patrick Mahomes is pretty good at doing that to
the reps, it seems like too. But what exactly were
they talking about there? Is it one one ref going hey, guys,
I think we missed that. I think I saw that,
and the other guy going, well, we can't do it. Now,
We're gonna look terrible, but you.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Know what, look, yeah, from the officiating lens, those types
of things cause me major anger and anxiety at the
same time because these are misses, right, I mean, this
is a lack of concentration mistake. You have two officials
looking down the line of scrimmage who's primary responsibility before
(35:22):
the action even begins is to make.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
Sure that people don't false start and.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
People aren't in the neutral zone at to snap. It's
not like, hey, this play was fast and somebody screened
me out or something.
Speaker 9 (35:35):
No, they didn't.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
You're looking right down the barrel of the gun there.
I mean, get the play right then when you see
officials want to have this collaboration here after a play
like that, that causes me anger, like truthfully, as a fan,
as an official more than anything.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
It's like, there's no reason to have a conversation.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Now if you miss this layup, then you miss the layup,
But don't start talking like is that a block in
the back?
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Is it a sidewalk? Did one of you other guys
or guys have a different angle and let's walk through this. No.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
Now, from the referee standpoint, like you're back there fifteen
yards behind the line of scrimmage, you feel a couple
players like dancing into the neutral zone but you're not looking.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Down the line.
Speaker 7 (36:16):
Yeah, you've got a feeling like we've probably missed something.
Quite honestly, listen, man, when Aaron Rodgers would turn and
look at me on the field and say, hey, gee,
they missed that. Probably pretty good bet they missed it,
you know what I mean? Like those guys are that
tuned in, they know when it's a free play. And
he says in the double triple coverage on the play,
thinking that this is a free play.
Speaker 9 (36:35):
Now what if that's a pick? Even worse?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
I mean, we can even get uglier here on what
was already ugly. But yeah, there's so many different levels
of plays like that. And then to sit in our
conference because we all have seen too many conferences and
the conspiracy theorists can do whatever they want when you conference,
Like who is officiating this? Who were you talking to?
Who are you listening to? Get away from the conferencing,
(37:00):
you missed the layup? Move on to do somebody out
at halftime and put your big boushoes on and start
getting this stuff right.
Speaker 9 (37:08):
We're in the NFL and we can't miss it. So
not good, bad optics.
Speaker 7 (37:13):
And I think Terry McCauley did a great job. They
went right to him on the broadcast, right, and he
immediately said, without hesitation, No, this isn't something you revisit
right now. You missed it, Like get the ball back
down and wind the clock because this is ugly and
we don't really need to make it uglier.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
You know what gives me anger, among other things, inadvertent
whistles during the play, and there are a couple of
examples of those on Sunday. What I mean, that's kind
of a lay up too, right, like just wait till
it's over.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
Yeah, because especially in this day and age, I lived
in a moment where we didn't have.
Speaker 9 (37:50):
In the immediate continuing action.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
We did think he was down by contact, but he
really did fumble, and no, we can't give you the return,
but we can give you the recovery. So then we
had to start kind of tweaking officiating in this instantaneous reaction,
Like if you think it's a pass fumble on the quarterback,
just real fumble, because we can fix it, you know,
with technology and revisiting it. Don't blow the player dead,
(38:15):
because leave it play even though you saw the need
of them, but let it play because we can fix it.
And now you have situations where that's kind of the
mechanic that you want to have. And now we put
air in a play where a guy's going in for
you know, a scoop and score and you're blowing whistles.
Speaker 9 (38:33):
Yeah, they're not. This is not the standard that we, uh,
you know, that we need to be living by.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Truthfully, Geene, what what do you think is wrong with
the Steelers defense?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
You watch a lot of football.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
There's a lot of good players on that defense, and
they look like they have no idea what they're doing
a lot of times right now, Constant blown coverages when
you've you met around a lot, is this something that
you can like, you know, pull a string and everything
flies back into position and it's all fixed. Or is
this just so fubar that you can't do anything to
(39:08):
bring it back into cohesion?
Speaker 9 (39:12):
You know, quite honestly, my thoughts.
Speaker 7 (39:16):
On a lot of this and being around this business
for almost thirty years. Now you can group about eight plays,
you work your butt off to get to third and seven, right,
and now you just have this this breakdown. There's a
breakdown there there's a there's a miscommunication, there's a there's
something that occurs, and now a new series begins. These
(39:37):
seven eight plays that you just have that breakdown. They
change the dynamic of the game immediately. And when you're
playing a team of high quality, it is those lapses,
which truly do come down to five or six scenarios. Yeah,
it's snowballs, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Then.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
And then the thing that really is kind of perplexing to.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
Me is that you're just looking at these these players
that we know perform at a level that's been elite, right,
and we look and we just don't look like we're
that team. It doesn't look like it's that Where is
that person that does step up?
Speaker 9 (40:14):
That is why he is who he is? You know,
shutting that play down and getting off the field kind
of thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
And when you have teams, like I said, of this quality,
an extension of the series, whether they score on it
or not, has taken another four minutes.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Out of this game.
Speaker 7 (40:30):
You've changed the dynamic of this game immediately. There was
a little breakdown on a third and seventh player, I
think when Rogers was trying to go to Metcalf on
the side. Metcalf thought he might go back shoulder kind
of broke down on his route and Rogers put the
ball in front of Metcalf and kind of had a
little inside leverage on a d back and threw it
in this tight little window, which is a hard window
(40:50):
to throw this ball. And I watched the game last
night to watch a couple other things, and you can
see his confusion there. And I think there's another piece
of that trust level, like.
Speaker 9 (40:59):
Maybe DKs and it's not used to playing with somebody
that puts the ball in this little two foot window.
Speaker 7 (41:05):
Just keep running, I can put it in that window, dude,
Like trust, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (41:11):
You know what I mean? Like I saw that play.
That play jumped right off the screen at me because
at that point, you're still winning the football game. You're
it's a series, it's a new first down. It allows
you to keep doing what you do and what's kind
of your defining yourself right now as a team.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
And now you're gett knocked off that rail. And like
I say, you know, you're playing with the team that
puts up two touchdowns. If you make two errors in
the previous two series, is now your playbook changed the
game switched and those are the nuances I get it.
Speaker 9 (41:41):
Yeah, yeah, and that's what we're at.
Speaker 7 (41:43):
And that's where you're out when you're starting to play
these people. And I'm watching India every week because on
CBS a lot. This team is really like what Daniel Jones.
Speaker 9 (41:51):
Is doing is is real, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Like they're a fishing as hell and uh, and that's
where you're supposed to be.
Speaker 9 (41:57):
Look rather than be feared of this. Uh, this is
why we play the games. This is why you're in
this place.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
And now the true measure of this football team to
me is this week now coming up right, and you're
on prime time stages.
Speaker 9 (42:11):
You don't like doing this when you're playing national TV games.
It's Thursday night or Sunday night or Monday night. You're
the reason why you're on is because you are.
Speaker 7 (42:18):
Who you are or you claim to be. It's time
to step that up right now. And you know there's
a silver lining, fellows where we're getting to the halfway point.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Right, it's also.
Speaker 9 (42:30):
Worth right, so I mean, you know.
Speaker 7 (42:34):
Wherever the optimist dude, but it's uh, if it's if
it's that where we're at, that's that that's where.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
We are, you know, I mean we are where we are.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
There was a play that I was thinking, you know,
you must have really appreciated on Sunday night because I
know that you are a fan of Aaron Rodgers' ability,
talent processing and just his football brain. The one where
he's where he throws it down before he gets sacked
and he kind of like just Warren sty you like, yeah,
(43:02):
I thought he fumbled it there and I was just going,
what does he doing? He's training in too much. This
is exactly who you're not supposed to be. And it
turns out he was doing the opposite of that. He
was doing the super smart thing there, exploiting a rule
that has no business in football. Vescil, if that's a
football I'm the King of England.
Speaker 9 (43:20):
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, I mean you know what.
Speaker 7 (43:24):
We watched it and then you're you are an amazement
because you think bonehead play and then you watch the
replay and go unbelievable. But when you're down there right
and you see that occur, and you're not talking about like, hey,
he had three seconds to think, but no he didn't.
He had two tenths of a second to think about it.
While someone that was three hundred pounds was trying to
yank his human body through the turf, and he still
(43:44):
knew push it forward, Just push it forward, you know.
I mean there's a level of awareness, right. It's the
level of awareness that that he has that's just in
a different place, man. And look if that again, sober learning,
if anyone and pull that type of element out of
this and get somebody back on the rails.
Speaker 9 (44:04):
That's what teams need.
Speaker 7 (44:05):
You have to have someone like that when things are
at this place that have to lift.
Speaker 9 (44:10):
And that's that's what you hope happens.
Speaker 1 (44:12):

one hundred diverse consulting offering Schneider Downs doesn't focus on
what service to provide, but rather what problems they can
