Speaker 1 (00:11):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is wt V Pittsburgh. There's something about his voice.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
If your team's winning, you don't even get that Matt
at Collinsworth, You're like, hey, you know whatever, he is
what he is. But when your team's losing, he just
makes it sound like he absolutely loves the other team
so much that he's rooting for them.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Oh, look at what Jard loves this.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yet, if you're not paying attention, that was twenty straight
passes for Jordan Love, just a gang straight comp Yeah.
So he it's something about his vocal. It's not a
fry I don't know, there's something about his pukey voice.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Then, just like on the verge of like a cat vomiting, it's.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Harry Carey on Red Bull. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
My reset word for Collinsworth impressions is mahomes.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Lols, Randy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So much to still be pissed off about with the Steelers,
but it would be hard to not start with possibly
what is being Harold? That is the greatest World Series
game of all times at six hours, and you'n't the
longest game of all time. No, they're calling it like
the great Like Dave Roberts got off, got on the
(01:42):
podium and said, I think we can all agree this
is the greatest World Series game.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Of all time.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And MLB dot com that's the headline and.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
The longest, So why not both?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah, it's both.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, six hours and thirty nine minutes, I think.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And Freddie Freeman gets his second walk off in a
World Series game.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Well, I know, it's his second home run in this postseason.
I mean, that's just insane. He won the MVP last year.
The dude's on a run.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He's an absolute terror.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And he had the tenth inning Grand Slam in Game
one of the twenty twenty four World Series last night,
in the eighteenth inning, eighteen eighteen, O Tawny has to
pitch the next game. He'd get an IV last night say,
(02:34):
oh my god, I went to bed.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It was four to four.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I had no idea until you mentioned something this morning.
You're like, oh yeah, eighteen. I'm like what cause it's
just Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
It's you know, mister prime time coming up in the
eighteenth inning, big gone, And it looked like everybody stayed
too that's the wildest part, especially in LA because they
always leave early there.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Michael had more on that and more on the Steeler injury.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Situation, which is not good, not great, not awesome. Although
it doesn't matter with this defense right now. Other teams,
it doesn't that people get injured on other teams. They
just go on about their their weekly work and then
they show up the Steelers right now. I don't even
know what to make of what's going on. Everybody, every
pundit that you want to seek out right now says
(03:22):
when they look at the defensive state of the Steelers,
they're like, this is an absolute mess.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
What are they doing?
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I think that it's such a mess, and it's such
a problem because the thing that we worked on harder
than anything else this offseason was revamping the secondary, and
their past defense is the worst in the league.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Garbage, Yeah, really really bad.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Horrible safety play.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I mean, look, Deshaun Elliott is a great player, he's solid.
He's had two games this year really where he's been impactful.
Outside of that, it just hasn't been good enough. Chuck
Clark is looks like he's not worthy, and Thornhill is
constantly out of position and Eccles doesn't seem to be
(04:09):
fast enough, and Slay seems like he's done. His career
is over, is over, He's done. JPJ can't stop grabbing people.
And Ramsey has given up a ton of splash. Like
He's made plays and it's been impactful, and I like
his energy as a player. I like what he brings
to the locker room, but it hasn't been anywhere near
what we thought it would be.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Ramsey's the best they've got, and he's not what he
used to be. He's also the best tackler in the
secondary far, like, so I can't really complain about him
in comparison.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It just does not bode well for the most explosive
offense in the NFL. Coming into Akroscher Stadium on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I mean, did you see Jonathan Taylor, Like, have you
seen those highlights?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Three touchdowns again for the fourth time this season.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
MVP of the league favorite this point, he's got.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I think eighteen total touchdowns right now, or they have
as a team.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Eighteen total rush tds. He's got fourteen.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I mean, it's nuts, and it's all because Ers's daughter
went down on the sidelines and started listening to all
the play calling.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All the owners are gonna be it's a copycat league.
Get down their.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Art just to see what you guys are talking about.
He's the most mellow owner ever. Have all these bombastic
a hole billionaires and arts like oh.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I think we need to just look at the situation
and figure out the best solution.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Can we make art?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Have like a Christmas album that we could do like
on the side, like do like this.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
M Rudo nose he went eight and nine?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Oh no, I think yeah, Rudolph one eight and eight,
didn't he?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, I mean, yeah, ye that one time. Michael.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Have all the details on that for you coming up.
And we've got Gene Sterotur on the show later this morning.
There's a whole lot to ask Gane about. I don't
think the Steelers lost because the rest by the way,
I mean, I don't know. There are some weird calls. Yeah,
they got jobbed a couple times, but like, that's not
why they lost. H Charlie Batch will be joining us
in the eight o'clock hour as well.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Abby's got a news update for you. What's going on
Abby News.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
This hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store,
mostly sonny and Breezy today with.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
A high of fifty six.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
A fan suffered life threatening injuries when he fell from
the stands at PPG Paints Arena during Monday night's game
between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Saint Louis Blues. Man
fell from the two hundred level, hitting another person in
the sweet level before falling to the one hundred level.
Pittsburgh Public Safety set in a post on Facebook. The
man who fell was taken to the hospital in Pittsburgh
(07:04):
with life threatening injuries, but the fall happened during the
first period on Monday, play did not stop at any point.
First responders were called to the arena around seven point fifteen.
The person struck by the falling man was evaluated by
first responders and declined to go to the hospital. What yeah, soever,
(07:26):
got hit on the way down?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I mean, Oh, that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
It's like somebody fell from the two hundred level right
and hit somebody else. The person who was hit by
the person falling declined to go to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So it sounds like that persons.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay, misunderstood? Yeah, Oh holy cow awful, I know, said
after the game, was like, Hey, I don't even want
to talk about points right now.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
This is just you know, I think since parents were
at the game, I think his whole family was at
the game.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Last name, you know who else was at the game
who was an eyewitness to this all I read in
a trip article as our former producer Jess Levo quoted
in the trail and right in front of her, Oh gosh,
and she said, just please pray for this man because
he was unconscious and bleeding. Oh I just I mean,
I don't know what's going on in Pittsburgh with the
(08:12):
with us and the falling out of the stands.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's three this year with the Pirates fan Cavon and
also a worker at Heinz fielder at Extra Stadium fell
from the scoreboard this weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, about fifty feet jesus.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, So that's I mean, that's that's a weird phenomenon
that at all three parks someone fell well, Arena Stadium,
mid Park.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's still.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That's all our sports teams.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Strange coincidence. Yes, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I mean the people at high Mark need to be
on high alert. Yeah, it's a week It's not there's
not enough stands there. Really they want to build them.
They do want have an issue build that thing up.
But it's a weird coincidence. And definitely thoughts with the
with the guy and his family. I mean, that's awful and.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
You know what's crazy is that if you ever I
mean obviously you were a season ticket holder for how long?
But just every time I'm in there, I just can
never get over how steep some of those upper bowl
sections are.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
And I'm always thinking, like.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
If you tripped at all, you could o J Simpson
right off of this thing.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Joe Barnick and I were at the last Tom Petty
show at PPG Paints Arena and we got those special
DV tickets. Yea, the last row of the arena ones
in the hill district, Yes, yeah, and that last row
on the ends, you know, like whe where the bulls are.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
If you trip, oh dude, you could ass over teacups
all the way down fall from the top.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
What I can say to style, they're two hundreds. Really,
I would say five hundreds just out of a habit.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah, but the five hundreds at Acroshore, I mean, again, treacherous,
like so steep. Yeah, and then you see videos coming
in every weekend of guys fighting up there. We will
think about it, not just in our stadium, I'm saying
around the least.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, think about Three River Stadium back in the day
when you could bring stuff in and people were coolering.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Up to those those bleed seats.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, and then like steel workers getting hammered and fighting
on the treacherous decline.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Everybody just had like huge calves because you're like you're
having to basically mountain goat up the side of.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
A hill, you know it. Ancillarious side note story. One
of those aggregate accounts posted a picture of the Chancellor
of Pitt doing a keg roll back in the day
in the eighties.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Oh yeah, Iron City one in the cathedral learning the courtyard.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And did you see the cathedral learning behind it? Oh,
completely covered and completely covered in soot. Like yeah, I
don't think about that.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I remember when they cleaned it because my dad worked
a Pitt.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
That was a whole process, Like that was a crazy
process of powerwashing the entire cathedral.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That is fascinating to me. I think, I guess I
knew about that. Yeah, but you know, something completely out
of my memory when you mentioned this, you know, we
mentioned the steel workers. It just jogged my memory to
that quick story. But that is on my Twitter account
if you want to go look at it. And you
can't really see the whole because he's learning, but you
can see the base of it and just see that
it is dark. Oh yeah, God, I can't imagine what
(11:28):
this town was like back then.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
I mean, my grandma used to tell these stories of
them ringing this siren at lunch to let you know
that they were turning the furnaces on so that you
could get your clothes off the clothesline because it was
about to start raining.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Soot ell did they let that happen?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And like just the the health aggregate health, uh, you know,
effect of all of that had to be completely detrimental.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
In that day.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
What that alarm was was considerate, like how nice? How
nice are the people at the mill?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, you know what poison time.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Like time. That's why everybody wore hats back then.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
That's why everybody had to come home and change their
shirts halfway through the day because they had like black
rings around their collar.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Car washes must have made a mint.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Oh yeah, but that's why isn't that really why you
had the Pittsburgh toilet And yeah, the showers in the basement.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You've got to come in a different door all together.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
U huh, Yeah, you did delause in the basement.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
My grandparents had that.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Like it was a whole you know, the shower in
the basement and the toilet and everything.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It's because you're disgusting when you get home.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Take off all your stuff, shower, leave it down there.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Cinder block shower. That's what my grandparents had, Just like
a rudimentary cinder block shower.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
That was my play space when I was little because
we lived next door to my grandparents and there were
so many spiders.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So, but like that was just kind of like, you know, playing.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
The curious, like a thousand leggers, a.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Thousand can ruin your day. Like crawling out of the tub, Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He does, skirting across the ken Rice's eyebrows. Just crawled
out of my tub.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
All right.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I got a lighter story for you here.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Julian's Auctions has transformed into an actual rainbow connection. For
the first time ever, The Jim Henson Company is auctioning
a plethora of puppets props and memorabilia from its vast archives.
Hosted by Julian's Auctions. The sale is in celebration of
the company's seventieth anniversary. So the auction will present more
than four hundred lots, which span props, costumes, that pieces, posters,
(14:01):
autographed memorabilia.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And more than eighty handmade puppets.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
So they're gonna have pieces from Fraggle Rock, The Dark
Crystal Labyrinth, multiple puppet productions, and many more made available
to the public through the auction.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So I went and saw Nico Case Friday, and she
was actually talking about this on stage, and she was
talking about what is your favorite Muppet? Because they mentioned
they thought the Carnegie of Homestead Library Theater looked like
the Muppet Show, right, and then they started talking about
what's your favorite Muppet?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Who's your favorit muppet?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
If you could have any piece of Henson memorabilia from
all of those, just from Labyrinth, from Fraggle Rock, from
The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, even what would it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Be, oh Man, because there's a bunch I would want.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I mean, I'm an old school like if I go
Sesame Street, I was a Grover dude, love Grover on
the Muppets. I really liked Gonzo, but like I liked
the off characters too.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
It was fun.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I like Ralph's awesome low zealand the guy that had
boomerang fish. He always made me laugh every single time.
But Sam the Eagle always made me laugh. Like, there's
so many that I could just look at them and
it will make me laugh. Having the two old guys
Statler and Waldorf would be kind of funny there.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Yeah, especially like if you put them in some sort
of box, like in your house.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Yeah, like built a shelf for.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Them where it looked like they were sitting up top
ready to ackle people.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
If I was doing Muppets, i'd have to have people
from the band.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I gotta have Janie.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, Janis is pretty cool. Yeah on a drum set. Yeah,
Animal was a classic.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, Animal is a classic. But yeah, I would have
to have an obscure member of the band. It would
just make me laugh.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Well, I might want some em and Otter stuff too,
because that was a big order drunk Man Christmas fan.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
What was the the one that Jason Siegel did?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
He did a re like he rebooted.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Because that one was great. I agree, I really like
that one. I like the character that he introduced.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
He uh, well in the New Muppets.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
The one who I think is the funniest and maybe
one of like vies for the funniest of all time
is the prawn Peppi the Prawn.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yes, it's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'm king.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Okay, is the sweetest chef he qualifies.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, he was a Muppet shower, he was a Muppet show.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
So the way it was was the Muppets and Frago
Rock Like that's both Jim Henson.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, okay, yeah, wow, like the whole Henson.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
There's a buy or a documentary about Jim Henson. I
watched it on the way back from Dublin.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It was like part of the cash of movies that
they had for you on air Lingus. It's really good.
I highly recommend it. Ron Howard directed it. It is
very comprehensive, but you just see how crazy it is
that collaboration was a big part of what made them
so successful. But he found a bunch of like minded
(17:08):
people to work under his vision and work with his vision,
and all of them were like, oh no, we can
just work twenty hours a day. It's fine, We'll just
kill ourselves doing this because we love it that much.
And they really did have a group of people that
were so dedicated to puppets, like you know how rare
(17:31):
that is. The whole civic mission of Sesame Street was
a political undertaking, which I never knew. I thought it
was very much pitched by Jim Henson, but they hired
him for Sesame Street.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I already had the idea.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, they had the idea for Sesame Street, and then
they added the Muppets, and SNL did the same thing.
The original Saturday Night Live had the Muppets the very
first episode, I.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Think the first three before they got fired.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
So it was just they fired the muppets.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
They did. They fired the muppets. They really did fire
a muppet.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
You're carefully your hand all the way up.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
All the way and then you rip it out.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I would have thought you would have gone with something
from Labyrinth, Abby.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Well we didn't get that far. We were going on
Sesame Street and Muppets. But yeah, anything I would I
would want the tiny little worm from Labyrinth where he.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Goes yeah you say hello, No, I said, I'd like
to have that puppet that looks like r FK. Junior,
which was from Labyrinthoggle. Yeah, he's like their guide, right,
I believe so.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, but he's a liar, which is funny again.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Well yeah, listen, sometimes it just bits.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
The amount of money that that whole Henson Universe was
was worth. I mean, Disney bought it at one point.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Right, Yeah, they bought everything else.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
I feel like they have the I think that it's all.
I want to say that it's on Disney Plus now,
but I'm not positive, so I might be lying.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I mean just think I might be googling, like they
bought the Muppets, they bought Star Wars, and they bought Marvel, Yeah,
and appreciated.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
They're gonna buy water.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, and we're gonna have to buy a subscription to
Water Water Plus.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Water Plus this month, sparkling.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Oh you wanted water without lead. That's extra.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
You need the premium play.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I'm breezy today, High have fifty six.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He's got a full sports report for you, as promised.
Gene's Territory coming up today at seven forty five.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What do you want to hear?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
The Pittsburgh Tradition, built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
The all requested Electric lunch.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
That's one of the beast on DVE.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for except Mike
Pursuit has got Your Sports right now on the DV
Morning Show, and it's being called the greatest World Series
game of all time. I mean, I'm gonna go with
ties for the longest. I'll go with Game seven and
nineteen in sixty still, but that's okay. Yeah, there's that one,
the one that Don Larson put perfect in. It's perfect game. Yeah,
(20:07):
that's hard to be better than perfect, but but nobody
else was good. That's the best performance. This is the
best game.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
You know.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
I didn't stay have to watch a full disclosure. Was
kind of gassed after the Steeler game Sunday night. I
miss I missed in entirety the eighteen inning marathon that
was Dodgers six, Blue Jays five. In Game three of
the World Series. Dodgers have a two games to one lead.
Game four is tonight at eight o'clock. Shane Bieber against
(20:35):
show Hey Otani. Otani might be a little gassed because
he had four official bets and he walked five times,
including four times intentionally, including in the ninth inning of
a tied postseason.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Game with nobody I would walk him. Yeah, running a double? Yeah,
said you're not hitting anymore? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Six hundred and nine pitches were thrown, twenty five position
players and nineteen pitchers were used.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
The game took six hours and thirty nine minutes to complete.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
There are some incredible defensive plays in that game.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Freddy Freeman wins it with a danger at the bottom
of the eighteenth Man, is that guy clutch?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I mean, if you're a Braves fan, you just have
to be like sick to your stomach just watching that
and get no joy. Maybe a little tear of happiness
for Freddy to have escaped, but.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, no, no joy.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Your team stinks and he's still yes winning World Series games, right.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Red Sox fans too? Right with Mookie?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh dude, are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That I still don't understand that one. I mean, dever
seems to have made sense after all. Was sort of
shaken out about that situation. But the Mookie one will
never make sense. It's never the dumbest trade in baseball
history since Babe Ruth.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Frank Robinson from Milt Pappis. Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Milk Papas is a name that and look, Frank Romson's
Hall of Famer, but I wouldn't still wouldn't put that
in there.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It didn't equate to as many championships. I'll just bring
that up because they mentioned it in Bull Milk papas
great name. I kind of wish I would have watched that,
but it was.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I was telling Bell, I'm like, I'm just reading the
MLB dot com review of it.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh my god. The seameds are going They're losing their
mind because.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
It's like, oh my god, well, there were so many
great defensive plays to make it happen like it was
not just Kreddy baseball and nobody could, you know, score
a run.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
There was a lot of good baseball happening in those
two games worth of the World Series? Will this be
the first World Series that goes eight games?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
And they might be this is why you don't put
a guy on second base for no reason in a
tenth any Well.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
If I mean yeah, if they were doing that in
the postseason, I think we'd all agree there there would
be a large outcry.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
How often does that ever happened in a regular season
that they have to avoid it the eighteen any game
we're one of these ridiculous you know, we end up
with the third basement pitching and pitchers are batting.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And the problem is in the regular season, I mean,
those guys, some of those bullpens that you got managers
switching after everybody, you know what I mean. The way
to do it is, you can't you gotta pit like
in the regular season. If you want to have a
different rule instead of putting a guy in second, you
have to declare, this is our picture for the extra innings,
(23:33):
and then that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And then if he yeah, if he gets hurt, if
he gets hurt, no.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You got to put a position player in like something
like that. Yeah, I don't know, I mean, why is
that any less unorthodox in putting somebody on second base.
Maybe just play the game till it's over. I understand
the where baseball clock.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I know it over the game.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It's a lot different now, and h the wear and
tear is a lot different on these players because they
aren't bill like Mickey Mantle, you know.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
And there actually is a clock now, there actually is
a cluck, which I think everyone that actually helped you ouh,
that was just because these guys became such jackasses.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Stepping in it out of the box and playing with
their batting gloves and set.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Their gloves on and off, matching all their chains, spilling
on their palms.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Straps on us both gloves.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Pretty good stuff though, pretty good stuff with the PPG
Paints arena. Last night, Penguins beat the Blues and Sidney
Crosby made some more history to Peraco.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
He loaded up for one touch pass, were rushed over
to Crossby on a break away between the rings.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
Stop tonight second top these guys, Sidney Crosby, that's on
his own rebound and put the Penguins back up by too,
and it's big back time here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
That was Crosby's third point in the night in the
Penguin six to three victory over the Blues. They emerge
at seven to two and one. Crosby emerges with one thousand,
seven hundred and one career points. His one goal to
assist effort made him the ninth player in NHL history
to hit the seventeen one hundred point milestone. Wayne Gretzky,
(25:25):
Yarmor Yarder, Mark Messier, Gordi Howe, Ron Francis Marcel Dion,
Steve Eiserman, and Mario Lemieux the others to have surpassed
seventeen one hundred career points. Crosby did it in the
fourth fewest number of games, wownd and sixty two games,
trailing only Gretzky, Lemieux and Dion. It's just staggering, you know.
(25:49):
He just keeps going and going and going.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, it's a reason to go see the team if
they were stinking it up.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
But they're not stinking it up. I don't know what's
going on here, Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Is this gonna be one of those Wait a minute,
what a Dan Bilesman situation where just everything turned on
a dime and they started listening to this guy.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Gino's leading the league in assist right now.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
You start playing the right way and good things can happen.
They're in Philly tonight, in Minnesota Thursday, and at Winnipeg
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Monday Night football last.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Night, twenty eight to seven, the Chiefs beat the Commanders
Kansas City's five and three Washington three and five. Typical
stuff from Patrick Mahomes twenty five to thirty four for
two ninety nine three touchdowns. He was intercepted twice. Chiefs
ran the ball thirty times for one hundred and forty
eight rushing yards.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
They're looking like the Chiefs again. Yeah they are Steelers.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, will be adding wide receiver
Marquez Valdez Scantling.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
In vs. He is familiar with Aaron Rodgers. He's dropped
plenty of balls for him in Packers uniforms.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Plenty too.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
WELLDZ Scantling has played one hundred and eleven career NFL games,
including five with San Francisco this season.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
He's only got four catches, but he's with the Packers.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
From twenty eighteen through twenty twenty one, one hundred and
twenty three catches, two hundred and fifty two one hundred
and fifty three yards. He averaged seventeen point five yards
of reception with Aaron Rodgers and thirteen touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Can he play safety?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
That I do not know, But I'm all for adding
to the offense because I just don't think sure. I
don't think you're going to fix the defense. They're not
gonna find they agree with you.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
They're not going to find make a Fitzpatrick out there
that you can just pick up.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
They say to play.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
They can't trade back for him now takes like what
two years or something.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Wait, I think he could get cut and they could
pick him up on waivers. Yes, but that you can't
retrade for that player you mentioned.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
You know some of the guys that do the tape breakdowns,
and Merril Hodges talked about this a lot on our
show here and on the Thursday Night Show and Matt Williamson.
When they're playing zone, they're covering. They have no understanding
of how to react when there's nobody in an area.
They still go to that area and they cover nothing,
(28:20):
Chuck Clark and then they give up Thornhills doing it.
It's staggering. I don't know how you fix it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I they don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Well, they're not adding them play with their instincts.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
Are they not letting them or they just have no
football IQ whatsoever And they can't figure out that maybe
when a guy runs by you, somebody should cover him.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I don't know what the answer is.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, I don't know. I didn't think Thornhill was that bad.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I didn't either. He played horribly on Sunday Night.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
I watched these guys in camp and they thought, Dad.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
They look pretty good. They can't tackle either, and that
that's a big deal.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Even when they got Chuck Clark, who said injury problems
the last couple years, you wondered he still have his legs?
Is that why he's available? He looked like he was
moving fun. And then you get in a game at
this time of year and they just can't keep up.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
They hit and don't wrap up, which drives me absolutely crazy.
He gives zero effort, like like slay is done.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I mean that.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That to me is like he should issue an apology
to Steeler Nation. It is the antithesis of Steeler football.
You can't go around tout and Steeler football and the
steel Curtain and then watch him play that particular play
the way he did. He didn't want any part of
getting dirty on that.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Did not defland every blade of grass. No, and that's
what they're supposed to do. This looks like the Sheer curtain.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
It actually like usually I settled down after they like
the day after a game like that, you get like
you're really pissing in.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, you know, I kind of calmed down.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I think I got more mad as the day went
on and I kept seeing more footage and breakdowns. It's like,
I can't not blame it on the coaches because these
guys are all too talented unless they all have Look,
the Penguins had a bunch of talented people that stop
listening to the coach.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Okay, it happens, it does, it does.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But for how many years have we seen great players,
highest paid defense in the league.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And these guys are not gap sound.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
They are completely blowing assignments and don't know how to
play zone defense.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Not on the coaches at some point.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
The thing that's scary is that it's happening now. It
usually happens.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
At the end, yeah, where they've given up, or even if.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
It happened in the beginning, and you think, all right,
it takes a couple of three to adjust whatever, and
then you figure it out.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
That this is late, man, this is after the bye week,
after ten days off, after an embarrassing loss.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
You know, I was talking yesterday about they got to
they gotta follow the Bengals model, which is important to
even think about. But that's if they have any chance
at all. It's it's gonna be with the offense, you know,
outscoring the bad defense. But that's where they are and
we'll see where they go with it defensive line and
Daniel Aqualay, he confirms on social media he's done for
(31:03):
the season. Don't expect to Shaun Elliott back anytime soon. Yeah,
that's also those not welcome news. We'll see what Mike
Tomlin has to say today. Last, but not least, there
was NBA action last night. Six Ers won thirty six
Magic one twenty four. I wanted to give an NBA
score because we have now covered the sports equinox of
yesterday all the sports football, baseball, basketball, and hockey all
(31:25):
in the same.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Play the game rigged.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I don't know, Okay, I didn't watch that either.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, Abby, what do you got coming up at the
top of the hour, One of the roads that you
likely drive on weekly, if not daily, has just ranked

Speaker 1 (32:11):
To replace your roof cooler temp snowblazing sun and you'll
be locked in with solid protection. Mike pursued our buddy
Matt Jamison from Clear Thoughts Foundation, joining us right now.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Matt, Good morning, How are you, buddy?
Speaker 8 (32:25):
Hey, Good morning guys. I'm doing great. How about how's
everybody on your RN?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
We're hanging in there, you know, I mean just about
all of us, and Bill and I especially have been
affected in our lives by family members with dementia on
Alzheimer's and Bill just did Alzheimer's Walk this past week.
And you guys at the Clear Thoughts Foundation every year
you do such great work. But the big fundraising event
(32:50):
for Clear Thoughts Foundation, the Role for a Reason Gala,
is this Saturday night. So Matt is always first thing
I want you to just explain what it is that
you and your sister Haley have been doing all the
amazing work you guys do at Clear Thoughts Foundation, just
to kind of give people a perspective on the scope
of your work.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Yeah, thank you very much and thanks for having me on.
As you guys both know, really Alzheimer's is a form
of dementia and that's you know, one of the points
that a lot of people are not clear on. But
what we tried to do since we were founded in
twenty ten is raise money to secure funding to advance
the discovery of drugs and treatment so that one day
we're able to actually treat dementia, including Alzheimer's. And this
(33:35):
was really stem from the fact that, you know, when
our father was diagnosed with dementia, we were shocked at
the lack of available drugs to treat dementia. So that's
been the singular focus of our foundation is raising money
for drug discovery.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Well, and you know, my father went through it and
I you know, was a big part of making sure
he got the right care in his last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
And it astounding to me, even in that short.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Time, how we were being told how things were changing
in the treatment of dementia and how have you seen
things change since you guys undertook this mission with the
Clothouse Foundation.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Well, I think the biggest thing on our end is
we've seen such a dramatic increase in the amount of
dementia that's out there, the number of people that are
diagnosed with dementia, and unfortunately, when you look at government funding,
you know, we're seeing significant cuts to NIH funding that
goes towards dementia, which makes it even more important that
(34:35):
we are raising private donations to help fund this important
research because, you know, as we improve in other aspects
of healthcare and people live longer and longer, that's part
of the reason why we're seeing such a dramatic increase
in dementia cases.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
And to my understanding, Matt, one of the biggest, one
of the biggest improvements over the years, especially with the drugs,
is early detection, because a lot of these drugs require
you to get tested and figure out what you having
at an early enough stage for these drugs to be
able to work.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Is that correct, Yep.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
That's absolutely right, Bill. You know. One of the interesting
things there is dementia can present itself in a number
of different ways depending on the type of dementia that
the person has. Like, for example, our father had frontal
temporal dementia, the same dementia that Bruce Willis has, and
that really presents itself more in personality changes than it
(35:31):
does in what people typically think of as dementia presentation,
being loss of memory that you frequently see with Alzheimer's patients.
But detecting it early and starting treatment early is absolutely
going to be imperative as we hopefully continue to progress
in our treatment of this disease.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, you guys have raised a lot of money for
that research. We know how crucial that is.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
And as you said, the government funding being cut for
this is necessitating it's, you know, almost an emergency state
here this research going, which is why events like the
Clear Thoughts Foundation's role for a reason, gal of this
Saturday night are so important and I will say it's
an absolute blast. Explain what's going on at the event
this weekend, Matt, Yeah, thank.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
You, Yes, it's really it really is a really fun event.
It is a Monte Carlo night, so we have casino games,
both table games and slot machines. This year we're actually
in a new location. We've traditionally held this at jay
Verno's on the South Side, but unfortunately they're no longer
open for events like this, so we're going to be
at Discovery Pittsburgh, which is right in Mars. And before
(36:35):
you guys get scared, I did my research on Google Maps.
It's just over thirty minutes from Mount Leven, so all
we get in the South Hills, don't be scared away
by Mars. It's the same time zone, I swear.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
So Mars is your friend. Yes, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (36:51):
So it's really a great event. We've got live music
by the duo Take Two, performance painting by Kate Schubb,
live silent raffle, ticket, auction items, great food and drink,
and we're shooting for over four hundred attendees with a
goal to raise over three hundred thousand dollars. So the
tickets are still available. They're available on our website www
(37:14):
dot Clear Thoughts Foundation dot org. You can buy tickets
right there. If you can't attend, you also can make
a donation right on our website where you could purchase
a twenty five dollars raffle ticket to this fantastic Dawn
to Dust basket which has over five hundred dollars in
gift cards and other great items and We're only selling
a hundred of those tickets, so you'd have a good chance.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
To win that.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Clear thoughts dot org is where people should go, right.
Speaker 8 (37:40):
Yep, absolutely absolutely, and.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
I just want go ahead, man.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
I just wanted to briefly mention and I really as
you guys know, that this foundation was brought you know,
formed by the situation that my father based and Haley
and I and sharing simple of Simple Development founded the foundation,
but there's a lot of other people that are involved.
So I really want to distress that one of our
longtime board members, Lisa Sepchek, her husband was a doctor
(38:09):
and was diagnosed with early onset dementia at forty five.
Oh Man passed away at fifty. And it's just amazing
to me her commitment to our work. You know, she
has said at one point, you know, losing a loved
one to dementia means grieving for years, long before that
person's death ever occurs. Yeah, and she's taken that and
(38:31):
converted that into a passion to help us raise money.
So I just really wanted to highlight that this is
more than, you know, a family effort. There are so
many people that are making so many efforts to help
us raise money. So far, we've donated over a half
million dollars to our CTF consortium to a variety of
(38:51):
doctors all the UPMC that are helping to find treatments
and drugs to treat dementia.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Clear Thoughts Found Matt said, if you can't go to
the event this weekend, just drop a little bit in
the bucket and every little bit helps and hopefully we
can get a few more people out there for you
this Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Matt Jameson from the Clear Thoughts Foundation.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Matt, always a pleasure talking with you and all the
best of you and Haley and good luck.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
Thanks for doing the work on how far it is
from Mount Levane Tomors.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
We appreciate that you got it.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
You got it. Thank you guys. Thanks for all your
support of so many Pittsburgh charities. You guys just do
an amazing job. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Well back at you.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Thanks Matt. We'll see you buddy all right. Matt Jameson
from Clear Thoughts Foundation. Abby's got your news coming up next.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
One of the riskiest roads in the country is right
here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 11 (39:41):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE brought
to you by Kelly and Pizza and Draft Out, three
time World Pizza champions and.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Steelers Pro Shop.
Speaker 11 (39:50):
Get it direct from the team at Shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom Offerman.
Speaker 12 (39:54):
The Steelers added to their wide receiver room yesterday evening,
as the team signed wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scantling to
deal voughtas. Scantling was currently a free agent after playing
five games with the forty nine Ers before the team
released him a couple weeks ago. Vadas Scantling is an
eight year vet who has one hundred and eleven games
under his belt in his NFL career, has two hundred
and nine catches, three thy, six hundred and six career yards,
and twenty touchdown receptions.
Speaker 13 (40:16):
He is also the active career leader in yards per.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
Reception, averaging seventeen point three yards per catch, a sign
that he might be able to provide the Steelers offense
with some downfield explosion in the passing game. There's no
denying the obvious connection Vadis Scantling has with quarterback Aaron
Rodgers too, as the two spent four seasons in Green
Bay together from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one. The
task now for the Steelers will be to fined a
fit in that receiver room for Valdez Scantling, a room
(40:40):
that just saw second year man Roman Wilson have his
best and most.
Speaker 13 (40:43):
Active game of his career.
Speaker 12 (40:45):
Mike Tomlin holds his weekly press conference today at noon
and will shed more light on the acquisition of Vadis
Scantling as well as the state of the rest of
the team.
Speaker 13 (40:52):
I'm Tom Afferman with the Steelers Report.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
The Black and Gold faith will always travel well to
see the team on the road. And now Calliena and
d VEE. Give you a chance to become a road warrior.
We're teaming up to send two lucky fans
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is wt V Pittsburgh. There's something about his voice.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
If your team's winning, you don't even get that Matt
at Collinsworth, You're like, hey, you know whatever, he is
what he is. But when your team's losing, he just
makes it sound like he absolutely loves the other team
so much that he's rooting for them.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Oh, look at what Jard loves this.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yet, if you're not paying attention, that was twenty straight
passes for Jordan Love, just a gang straight comp Yeah.
So he it's something about his vocal. It's not a
fry I don't know, there's something about his pukey voice.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Then, just like on the verge of like a cat vomiting, it's.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Harry Carey on Red Bull. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
My reset word for Collinsworth impressions is mahomes.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Lols, Randy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So much to still be pissed off about with the Steelers,
but it would be hard to not start with possibly
what is being Harold? That is the greatest World Series
game of all times at six hours, and you'n't the
longest game of all time. No, they're calling it like
the great Like Dave Roberts got off, got on the
(01:42):
podium and said, I think we can all agree this
is the greatest World Series game.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Of all time.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And MLB dot com that's the headline and.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
The longest, So why not both?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah, it's both.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, six hours and thirty nine minutes, I think.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And Freddie Freeman gets his second walk off in a
World Series game.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Well, I know, it's his second home run in this postseason.
I mean, that's just insane. He won the MVP last year.
The dude's on a run.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He's an absolute terror.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And he had the tenth inning Grand Slam in Game
one of the twenty twenty four World Series last night,
in the eighteenth inning, eighteen eighteen, O Tawny has to
pitch the next game. He'd get an IV last night say,
(02:34):
oh my god, I went to bed.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It was four to four.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I had no idea until you mentioned something this morning.
You're like, oh yeah, eighteen. I'm like what cause it's
just Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
It's you know, mister prime time coming up in the
eighteenth inning, big gone, And it looked like everybody stayed
too that's the wildest part, especially in LA because they
always leave early there.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Michael had more on that and more on the Steeler injury.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Situation, which is not good, not great, not awesome. Although
it doesn't matter with this defense right now. Other teams,
it doesn't that people get injured on other teams. They
just go on about their their weekly work and then
they show up the Steelers right now. I don't even
know what to make of what's going on. Everybody, every
pundit that you want to seek out right now says
(03:22):
when they look at the defensive state of the Steelers,
they're like, this is an absolute mess.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
What are they doing?
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I think that it's such a mess, and it's such
a problem because the thing that we worked on harder
than anything else this offseason was revamping the secondary, and
their past defense is the worst in the league.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Garbage, Yeah, really really bad.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Horrible safety play.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I mean, look, Deshaun Elliott is a great player, he's solid.
He's had two games this year really where he's been impactful.
Outside of that, it just hasn't been good enough. Chuck
Clark is looks like he's not worthy, and Thornhill is
constantly out of position and Eccles doesn't seem to be
(04:09):
fast enough, and Slay seems like he's done. His career
is over, is over, He's done. JPJ can't stop grabbing people.
And Ramsey has given up a ton of splash. Like
He's made plays and it's been impactful, and I like
his energy as a player. I like what he brings
to the locker room, but it hasn't been anywhere near
what we thought it would be.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Ramsey's the best they've got, and he's not what he
used to be. He's also the best tackler in the
secondary far, like, so I can't really complain about him
in comparison.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It just does not bode well for the most explosive
offense in the NFL. Coming into Akroscher Stadium on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (04:50):

Three touchdowns again for the fourth time this season.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
MVP of the league favorite this point, he's got.

I think eighteen total touchdowns right now, or they have
as a team.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Eighteen total rush tds. He's got fourteen.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's insane.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I mean, it's nuts, and it's all because Ers's daughter
went down on the sidelines and started listening to all
the play calling.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All the owners are gonna be it's a copycat league.
Get down their.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Art just to see what you guys are talking about.
He's the most mellow owner ever. Have all these bombastic
a hole billionaires and arts like oh.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I think we need to just look at the situation
and figure out the best solution.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Can we make art?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Have like a Christmas album that we could do like
on the side, like do like this.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
M Rudo nose he went eight and nine?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Oh no, I think yeah, Rudolph one eight and eight,

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, I mean, yeah, ye that one time. Michael.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Have all the details on that for you coming up.
And we've got Gene Sterotur on the show later this morning.
There's a whole lot to ask Gane about. I don't
think the Steelers lost because the rest by the way,
I mean, I don't know. There are some weird calls. Yeah,
they got jobbed a couple times, but like, that's not
why they lost. H Charlie Batch will be joining us
in the eight o'clock hour as well.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Abby's got a news update for you. What's going on
Abby News.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
This hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store,
mostly sonny and Breezy today with.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
A high of fifty six.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
A fan suffered life threatening injuries when he fell from
the stands at PPG Paints Arena during Monday night's game
between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Saint Louis Blues. Man
fell from the two hundred level, hitting another person in
the sweet level before falling to the one hundred level.
Pittsburgh Public Safety set in a post on Facebook. The
man who fell was taken to the hospital in Pittsburgh
(07:04):
with life threatening injuries, but the fall happened during the
first period on Monday, play did not stop at any point.
First responders were called to the arena around seven point fifteen.
The person struck by the falling man was evaluated by
first responders and declined to go to the hospital. What yeah, soever,
(07:26):
got hit on the way down?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I mean, Oh, that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
It's like somebody fell from the two hundred level right
and hit somebody else. The person who was hit by
the person falling declined to go to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So it sounds like that persons.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Okay, misunderstood? Yeah, Oh holy cow awful, I know, said
after the game, was like, Hey, I don't even want
to talk about points right now.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
This is just you know, I think since parents were
at the game, I think his whole family was at
the game.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Last name, you know who else was at the game
who was an eyewitness to this all I read in
a trip article as our former producer Jess Levo quoted
in the trail and right in front of her, Oh gosh,
and she said, just please pray for this man because
he was unconscious and bleeding. Oh I just I mean,
I don't know what's going on in Pittsburgh with the
(08:12):
with us and the falling out of the stands.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's three this year with the Pirates fan Cavon and
also a worker at Heinz fielder at Extra Stadium fell
from the scoreboard this weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, about fifty feet jesus.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, So that's I mean, that's that's a weird phenomenon
that at all three parks someone fell well, Arena Stadium,
mid Park.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's still.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That's all our sports teams.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Strange coincidence. Yes, yeah, I guess.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I mean the people at high Mark need to be
on high alert. Yeah, it's a week It's not there's
not enough stands there. Really they want to build them.
They do want have an issue build that thing up.
But it's a weird coincidence. And definitely thoughts with the
with the guy and his family. I mean, that's awful and.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
You know what's crazy is that if you ever I
mean obviously you were a season ticket holder for how long?
But just every time I'm in there, I just can
never get over how steep some of those upper bowl
sections are.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
And I'm always thinking, like.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
If you tripped at all, you could o J Simpson
right off of this thing.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Joe Barnick and I were at the last Tom Petty
show at PPG Paints Arena and we got those special
DV tickets. Yea, the last row of the arena ones
in the hill district, Yes, yeah, and that last row
on the ends, you know, like whe where the bulls are.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
If you trip, oh dude, you could ass over teacups
all the way down fall from the top.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
What I can say to style, they're two hundreds. Really,
I would say five hundreds just out of a habit.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah, but the five hundreds at Acroshore, I mean, again, treacherous,
like so steep. Yeah, and then you see videos coming
in every weekend of guys fighting up there. We will
think about it, not just in our stadium, I'm saying
around the least.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, think about Three River Stadium back in the day
when you could bring stuff in and people were coolering.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Up to those those bleed seats.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, and then like steel workers getting hammered and fighting
on the treacherous decline.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Everybody just had like huge calves because you're like you're
having to basically mountain goat up the side of.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
A hill, you know it. Ancillarious side note story. One
of those aggregate accounts posted a picture of the Chancellor
of Pitt doing a keg roll back in the day
in the eighties.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Oh yeah, Iron City one in the cathedral learning the courtyard.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And did you see the cathedral learning behind it? Oh,
completely covered and completely covered in soot. Like yeah, I
don't think about that.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I remember when they cleaned it because my dad worked
a Pitt.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
That was a whole process, Like that was a crazy
process of powerwashing the entire cathedral.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That is fascinating to me. I think, I guess I
knew about that. Yeah, but you know, something completely out
of my memory when you mentioned this, you know, we
mentioned the steel workers. It just jogged my memory to
that quick story. But that is on my Twitter account
if you want to go look at it. And you
can't really see the whole because he's learning, but you
can see the base of it and just see that
it is dark. Oh yeah, God, I can't imagine what
(11:28):
this town was like back then.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
I mean, my grandma used to tell these stories of
them ringing this siren at lunch to let you know
that they were turning the furnaces on so that you
could get your clothes off the clothesline because it was
about to start raining.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Soot ell did they let that happen?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And like just the the health aggregate health, uh, you know,
effect of all of that had to be completely detrimental.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
In that day.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
What that alarm was was considerate, like how nice? How
nice are the people at the mill?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, you know what poison time.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Like time. That's why everybody wore hats back then.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
That's why everybody had to come home and change their
shirts halfway through the day because they had like black
rings around their collar.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Car washes must have made a mint.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Oh yeah, but that's why isn't that really why you
had the Pittsburgh toilet And yeah, the showers in the basement.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You've got to come in a different door all together.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
U huh, Yeah, you did delause in the basement.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
My grandparents had that.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Like it was a whole you know, the shower in
the basement and the toilet and everything.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It's because you're disgusting when you get home.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Take off all your stuff, shower, leave it down there.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Cinder block shower. That's what my grandparents had, Just like
a rudimentary cinder block shower.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
That was my play space when I was little because
we lived next door to my grandparents and there were
so many spiders.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
So, but like that was just kind of like, you know, playing.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
The curious, like a thousand leggers, a.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Thousand can ruin your day. Like crawling out of the tub, Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He does, skirting across the ken Rice's eyebrows. Just crawled
out of my tub.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
All right.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I got a lighter story for you here.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Julian's Auctions has transformed into an actual rainbow connection. For
the first time ever, The Jim Henson Company is auctioning
a plethora of puppets props and memorabilia from its vast archives.
Hosted by Julian's Auctions. The sale is in celebration of
the company's seventieth anniversary. So the auction will present more
than four hundred lots, which span props, costumes, that pieces, posters,
(14:01):
autographed memorabilia.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And more than eighty handmade puppets.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
So they're gonna have pieces from Fraggle Rock, The Dark
Crystal Labyrinth, multiple puppet productions, and many more made available
to the public through the auction.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So I went and saw Nico Case Friday, and she
was actually talking about this on stage, and she was
talking about what is your favorite Muppet? Because they mentioned
they thought the Carnegie of Homestead Library Theater looked like
the Muppet Show, right, and then they started talking about
what's your favorite Muppet?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Who's your favorit muppet?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
If you could have any piece of Henson memorabilia from
all of those, just from Labyrinth, from Fraggle Rock, from
The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, even what would it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Be, oh Man, because there's a bunch I would want.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I mean, I'm an old school like if I go
Sesame Street, I was a Grover dude, love Grover on
the Muppets. I really liked Gonzo, but like I liked
the off characters too.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
It was fun.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I like Ralph's awesome low zealand the guy that had
boomerang fish. He always made me laugh every single time.
But Sam the Eagle always made me laugh. Like, there's
so many that I could just look at them and
it will make me laugh. Having the two old guys
Statler and Waldorf would be kind of funny there.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Yeah, especially like if you put them in some sort
of box, like in your house.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Yeah, like built a shelf for.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Them where it looked like they were sitting up top
ready to ackle people.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
If I was doing Muppets, i'd have to have people
from the band.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I gotta have Janie.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, Janis is pretty cool. Yeah on a drum set. Yeah,
Animal was a classic.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, Animal is a classic. But yeah, I would have
to have an obscure member of the band. It would
just make me laugh.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Well, I might want some em and Otter stuff too,
because that was a big order drunk Man Christmas fan.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
What was the the one that Jason Siegel did?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
He did a re like he rebooted.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Because that one was great. I agree, I really like
that one. I like the character that he introduced.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
He uh, well in the New Muppets.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
The one who I think is the funniest and maybe
one of like vies for the funniest of all time
is the prawn Peppi the Prawn.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yes, it's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'm king.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Okay, is the sweetest chef he qualifies.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, he was a Muppet shower, he was a Muppet show.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
So the way it was was the Muppets and Frago
Rock Like that's both Jim Henson.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, okay, yeah, wow, like the whole Henson.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
There's a buy or a documentary about Jim Henson. I
watched it on the way back from Dublin.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It was like part of the cash of movies that
they had for you on air Lingus. It's really good.
I highly recommend it. Ron Howard directed it. It is
very comprehensive, but you just see how crazy it is
that collaboration was a big part of what made them
so successful. But he found a bunch of like minded
(17:08):
people to work under his vision and work with his vision,
and all of them were like, oh no, we can
just work twenty hours a day. It's fine, We'll just
kill ourselves doing this because we love it that much.
And they really did have a group of people that
were so dedicated to puppets, like you know how rare
(17:31):
that is. The whole civic mission of Sesame Street was
a political undertaking, which I never knew. I thought it
was very much pitched by Jim Henson, but they hired
him for Sesame Street.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I already had the idea.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, they had the idea for Sesame Street, and then
they added the Muppets, and SNL did the same thing.
The original Saturday Night Live had the Muppets the very
first episode, I.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Think the first three before they got fired.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
So it was just they fired the muppets.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
They did. They fired the muppets. They really did fire
a muppet.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
You're carefully your hand all the way up.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
All the way and then you rip it out.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I would have thought you would have gone with something
from Labyrinth, Abby.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Well we didn't get that far. We were going on
Sesame Street and Muppets. But yeah, anything I would I
would want the tiny little worm from Labyrinth where he.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Goes yeah you say hello, No, I said, I'd like
to have that puppet that looks like r FK. Junior,
which was from Labyrinthoggle. Yeah, he's like their guide, right,
I believe so.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, but he's a liar, which is funny again.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Well yeah, listen, sometimes it just bits.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
The amount of money that that whole Henson Universe was
was worth. I mean, Disney bought it at one point.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Right, Yeah, they bought everything else.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
I feel like they have the I think that it's all.
I want to say that it's on Disney Plus now,
but I'm not positive, so I might be lying.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
I mean just think I might be googling, like they
bought the Muppets, they bought Star Wars, and they bought Marvel, Yeah,
and appreciated.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
They're gonna buy water.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, and we're gonna have to buy a subscription to
Water Water Plus.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Water Plus this month, sparkling.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Oh you wanted water without lead. That's extra.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
You need the premium play.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I'm breezy today, High have fifty six.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He's got a full sports report for you, as promised.
Gene's Territory coming up today at seven forty five.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What do you want to hear?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
The Pittsburgh Tradition, built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
The all requested Electric lunch.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
That's one of the beast on DVE.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for except Mike
Pursuit has got Your Sports right now on the DV
Morning Show, and it's being called the greatest World Series
game of all time. I mean, I'm gonna go with
ties for the longest. I'll go with Game seven and
nineteen in sixty still, but that's okay. Yeah, there's that one,
the one that Don Larson put perfect in. It's perfect game. Yeah,
(20:07):
that's hard to be better than perfect, but but nobody
else was good. That's the best performance. This is the
best game.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
You know.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
I didn't stay have to watch a full disclosure. Was
kind of gassed after the Steeler game Sunday night. I
miss I missed in entirety the eighteen inning marathon that
was Dodgers six, Blue Jays five. In Game three of
the World Series. Dodgers have a two games to one lead.
Game four is tonight at eight o'clock. Shane Bieber against
(20:35):
show Hey Otani. Otani might be a little gassed because
he had four official bets and he walked five times,
including four times intentionally, including in the ninth inning of
a tied postseason.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Game with nobody I would walk him. Yeah, running a double? Yeah,
said you're not hitting anymore? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Six hundred and nine pitches were thrown, twenty five position
players and nineteen pitchers were used.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
The game took six hours and thirty nine minutes to complete.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
There are some incredible defensive plays in that game.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Freddy Freeman wins it with a danger at the bottom
of the eighteenth Man, is that guy clutch?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I mean, if you're a Braves fan, you just have
to be like sick to your stomach just watching that
and get no joy. Maybe a little tear of happiness
for Freddy to have escaped, but.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, no, no joy.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Your team stinks and he's still yes winning World Series games, right.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Red Sox fans too? Right with Mookie?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh dude, are you kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That I still don't understand that one. I mean, dever
seems to have made sense after all. Was sort of
shaken out about that situation. But the Mookie one will
never make sense. It's never the dumbest trade in baseball
history since Babe Ruth.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Frank Robinson from Milt Pappis. Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Milk Papas is a name that and look, Frank Romson's
Hall of Famer, but I wouldn't still wouldn't put that
in there.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It didn't equate to as many championships. I'll just bring
that up because they mentioned it in Bull Milk papas
great name. I kind of wish I would have watched that,
but it was.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I was telling Bell, I'm like, I'm just reading the
MLB dot com review of it.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh my god. The seameds are going They're losing their
mind because.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
It's like, oh my god, well, there were so many
great defensive plays to make it happen like it was
not just Kreddy baseball and nobody could, you know, score
a run.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
There was a lot of good baseball happening in those
two games worth of the World Series? Will this be
the first World Series that goes eight games?
Speaker 7 (22:46):
And they might be this is why you don't put
a guy on second base for no reason in a
tenth any Well.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
If I mean yeah, if they were doing that in
the postseason, I think we'd all agree there there would
be a large outcry.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
How often does that ever happened in a regular season
that they have to avoid it the eighteen any game
we're one of these ridiculous you know, we end up
with the third basement pitching and pitchers are batting.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And the problem is in the regular season, I mean,
those guys, some of those bullpens that you got managers
switching after everybody, you know what I mean. The way
to do it is, you can't you gotta pit like
in the regular season. If you want to have a
different rule instead of putting a guy in second, you
have to declare, this is our picture for the extra innings,
(23:33):
and then that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And then if he yeah, if he gets hurt, if
he gets hurt, no.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You got to put a position player in like something
like that. Yeah, I don't know, I mean, why is
that any less unorthodox in putting somebody on second base.
Maybe just play the game till it's over. I understand
the where baseball clock.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I know it over the game.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It's a lot different now, and h the wear and
tear is a lot different on these players because they
aren't bill like Mickey Mantle, you know.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
And there actually is a clock now, there actually is
a cluck, which I think everyone that actually helped you ouh,
that was just because these guys became such jackasses.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Stepping in it out of the box and playing with
their batting gloves and set.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Their gloves on and off, matching all their chains, spilling
on their palms.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Straps on us both gloves.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Pretty good stuff though, pretty good stuff with the PPG
Paints arena. Last night, Penguins beat the Blues and Sidney
Crosby made some more history to Peraco.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
He loaded up for one touch pass, were rushed over
to Crossby on a break away between the rings.
Speaker 10 (24:45):
Stop tonight second top these guys, Sidney Crosby, that's on
his own rebound and put the Penguins back up by too,
and it's big back time here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
That was Crosby's third point in the night in the
Penguin six to three victory over the Blues. They emerge
at seven to two and one. Crosby emerges with one thousand,
seven hundred and one career points. His one goal to
assist effort made him the ninth player in NHL history
to hit the seventeen one hundred point milestone. Wayne Gretzky,
(25:25):
Yarmor Yarder, Mark Messier, Gordi Howe, Ron Francis Marcel Dion,
Steve Eiserman, and Mario Lemieux the others to have surpassed
seventeen one hundred career points. Crosby did it in the
fourth fewest number of games, wownd and sixty two games,
trailing only Gretzky, Lemieux and Dion. It's just staggering, you know.
(25:49):
He just keeps going and going and going.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, it's a reason to go see the team if
they were stinking it up.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
But they're not stinking it up. I don't know what's
going on here, Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Is this gonna be one of those Wait a minute,
what a Dan Bilesman situation where just everything turned on
a dime and they started listening to this guy.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Gino's leading the league in assist right now.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
You start playing the right way and good things can happen.
They're in Philly tonight, in Minnesota Thursday, and at Winnipeg
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Monday Night football last.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Night, twenty eight to seven, the Chiefs beat the Commanders
Kansas City's five and three Washington three and five. Typical
stuff from Patrick Mahomes twenty five to thirty four for
two ninety nine three touchdowns. He was intercepted twice. Chiefs
ran the ball thirty times for one hundred and forty
eight rushing yards.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
They're looking like the Chiefs again. Yeah they are Steelers.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, will be adding wide receiver
Marquez Valdez Scantling.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
In vs. He is familiar with Aaron Rodgers. He's dropped
plenty of balls for him in Packers uniforms.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Plenty too.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
WELLDZ Scantling has played one hundred and eleven career NFL games,
including five with San Francisco this season.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
He's only got four catches, but he's with the Packers.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
From twenty eighteen through twenty twenty one, one hundred and
twenty three catches, two hundred and fifty two one hundred
and fifty three yards. He averaged seventeen point five yards
of reception with Aaron Rodgers and thirteen touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Can he play safety?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
That I do not know, But I'm all for adding
to the offense because I just don't think sure. I
don't think you're going to fix the defense. They're not
gonna find they agree with you.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
They're not going to find make a Fitzpatrick out there
that you can just pick up.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
They say to play.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
They can't trade back for him now takes like what
two years or something.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Wait, I think he could get cut and they could
pick him up on waivers. Yes, but that you can't
retrade for that player you mentioned.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
You know some of the guys that do the tape breakdowns,
and Merril Hodges talked about this a lot on our
show here and on the Thursday Night Show and Matt Williamson.
When they're playing zone, they're covering. They have no understanding
of how to react when there's nobody in an area.
They still go to that area and they cover nothing,
(28:20):
Chuck Clark and then they give up Thornhills doing it.
It's staggering. I don't know how you fix it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I they don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Well, they're not adding them play with their instincts.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
Are they not letting them or they just have no
football IQ whatsoever And they can't figure out that maybe
when a guy runs by you, somebody should cover him.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I don't know what the answer is.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, I don't know. I didn't think Thornhill was that bad.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I didn't either. He played horribly on Sunday Night.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
I watched these guys in camp and they thought, Dad.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
They look pretty good. They can't tackle either, and that
that's a big deal.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Even when they got Chuck Clark, who said injury problems
the last couple years, you wondered he still have his legs?
Is that why he's available? He looked like he was
moving fun. And then you get in a game at
this time of year and they just can't keep up.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
They hit and don't wrap up, which drives me absolutely crazy.
He gives zero effort, like like slay is done.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I mean that.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That to me is like he should issue an apology
to Steeler Nation. It is the antithesis of Steeler football.
You can't go around tout and Steeler football and the
steel Curtain and then watch him play that particular play
the way he did. He didn't want any part of
getting dirty on that.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Did not defland every blade of grass. No, and that's
what they're supposed to do. This looks like the Sheer curtain.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
It actually like usually I settled down after they like
the day after a game like that, you get like
you're really pissing in.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, you know, I kind of calmed down.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I think I got more mad as the day went
on and I kept seeing more footage and breakdowns. It's like,
I can't not blame it on the coaches because these
guys are all too talented unless they all have Look,
the Penguins had a bunch of talented people that stop
listening to the coach.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Okay, it happens, it does, it does.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But for how many years have we seen great players,
highest paid defense in the league.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
And these guys are not gap sound.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
They are completely blowing assignments and don't know how to
play zone defense.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Not on the coaches at some point.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
The thing that's scary is that it's happening now. It
usually happens.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
At the end, yeah, where they've given up, or even if.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
It happened in the beginning, and you think, all right,
it takes a couple of three to adjust whatever, and
then you figure it out.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
That this is late, man, this is after the bye week,
after ten days off, after an embarrassing loss.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
You know, I was talking yesterday about they got to
they gotta follow the Bengals model, which is important to
even think about. But that's if they have any chance
at all. It's it's gonna be with the offense, you know,
outscoring the bad defense. But that's where they are and
we'll see where they go with it defensive line and
Daniel Aqualay, he confirms on social media he's done for
(31:03):
the season. Don't expect to Shaun Elliott back anytime soon. Yeah,
that's also those not welcome news. We'll see what Mike
Tomlin has to say today. Last, but not least, there
was NBA action last night. Six Ers won thirty six
Magic one twenty four. I wanted to give an NBA
score because we have now covered the sports equinox of
yesterday all the sports football, baseball, basketball, and hockey all
(31:25):
in the same.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Play the game rigged.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I don't know, Okay, I didn't watch that either.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, Abby, what do you got coming up at the
top of the hour, One of the roads that you

Matt Jamison from Clear Thoughts Foundation, joining us right now.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Matt, Good morning, How are you, buddy?
Speaker 8 (32:25):
Hey, Good morning guys. I'm doing great. How about how's
everybody on your RN?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
We're hanging in there, you know, I mean just about
all of us, and Bill and I especially have been
affected in our lives by family members with dementia on
Alzheimer's and Bill just did Alzheimer's Walk this past week.
And you guys at the Clear Thoughts Foundation every year
you do such great work. But the big fundraising event
(32:50):
for Clear Thoughts Foundation, the Role for a Reason Gala,
is this Saturday night. So Matt is always first thing
I want you to just explain what it is that
you and your sister Haley have been doing all the
amazing work you guys do at Clear Thoughts Foundation, just
to kind of give people a perspective on the scope
of your work.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Yeah, thank you very much and thanks for having me on.
As you guys both know, really Alzheimer's is a form
of dementia and that's you know, one of the points
that a lot of people are not clear on. But
what we tried to do since we were founded in
twenty ten is raise money to secure funding to advance
the discovery of drugs and treatment so that one day
we're able to actually treat dementia, including Alzheimer's. And this
(33:35):
was really stem from the fact that, you know, when
our father was diagnosed with dementia, we were shocked at
the lack of available drugs to treat dementia. So that's
been the singular focus of our foundation is raising money
for drug discovery.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Well, and you know, my father went through it and
I you know, was a big part of making sure
he got the right care in his last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
And it astounding to me, even in that short.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Time, how we were being told how things were changing
in the treatment of dementia and how have you seen
things change since you guys undertook this mission with the
Clothouse Foundation.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Well, I think the biggest thing on our end is
we've seen such a dramatic increase in the amount of
dementia that's out there, the number of people that are
diagnosed with dementia, and unfortunately, when you look at government funding,
you know, we're seeing significant cuts to NIH funding that
goes towards dementia, which makes it even more important that
(34:35):
we are raising private donations to help fund this important
research because, you know, as we improve in other aspects
of healthcare and people live longer and longer, that's part
of the reason why we're seeing such a dramatic increase
in dementia cases.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
And to my understanding, Matt, one of the biggest, one
of the biggest improvements over the years, especially with the drugs,
is early detection, because a lot of these drugs require
you to get tested and figure out what you having
at an early enough stage for these drugs to be
able to work.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Is that correct, Yep.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
That's absolutely right, Bill. You know. One of the interesting
things there is dementia can present itself in a number
of different ways depending on the type of dementia that
the person has. Like, for example, our father had frontal
temporal dementia, the same dementia that Bruce Willis has, and
that really presents itself more in personality changes than it
(35:31):
does in what people typically think of as dementia presentation,
being loss of memory that you frequently see with Alzheimer's patients.
But detecting it early and starting treatment early is absolutely
going to be imperative as we hopefully continue to progress
in our treatment of this disease.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, you guys have raised a lot of money for
that research. We know how crucial that is.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
And as you said, the government funding being cut for
this is necessitating it's, you know, almost an emergency state
here this research going, which is why events like the
Clear Thoughts Foundation's role for a reason, gal of this
Saturday night are so important and I will say it's
an absolute blast. Explain what's going on at the event
this weekend, Matt, Yeah, thank.
Speaker 8 (36:13):
You, Yes, it's really it really is a really fun event.
It is a Monte Carlo night, so we have casino games,
both table games and slot machines. This year we're actually
in a new location. We've traditionally held this at jay
Verno's on the South Side, but unfortunately they're no longer
open for events like this, so we're going to be
at Discovery Pittsburgh, which is right in Mars. And before
(36:35):
you guys get scared, I did my research on Google Maps.
It's just over thirty minutes from Mount Leven, so all
we get in the South Hills, don't be scared away
by Mars. It's the same time zone, I swear.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
So Mars is your friend. Yes, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (36:51):
So it's really a great event. We've got live music
by the duo Take Two, performance painting by Kate Schubb,
live silent raffle, ticket, auction items, great food and drink,
and we're shooting for over four hundred attendees with a
goal to raise over three hundred thousand dollars. So the
tickets are still available. They're available on our website www
(37:14):
dot Clear Thoughts Foundation dot org. You can buy tickets
right there. If you can't attend, you also can make
a donation right on our website where you could purchase
a twenty five dollars raffle ticket to this fantastic Dawn
to Dust basket which has over five hundred dollars in
gift cards and other great items and We're only selling
a hundred of those tickets, so you'd have a good chance.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
To win that.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Clear thoughts dot org is where people should go, right.
Speaker 8 (37:40):
Yep, absolutely absolutely, and.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
I just want go ahead, man.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
I just wanted to briefly mention and I really as
you guys know, that this foundation was brought you know,
formed by the situation that my father based and Haley
and I and sharing simple of Simple Development founded the foundation,
but there's a lot of other people that are involved.
So I really want to distress that one of our
longtime board members, Lisa Sepchek, her husband was a doctor
(38:09):
and was diagnosed with early onset dementia at forty five.
Oh Man passed away at fifty. And it's just amazing
to me her commitment to our work. You know, she
has said at one point, you know, losing a loved
one to dementia means grieving for years, long before that
person's death ever occurs. Yeah, and she's taken that and
(38:31):
converted that into a passion to help us raise money.
So I just really wanted to highlight that this is
more than, you know, a family effort. There are so
many people that are making so many efforts to help
us raise money. So far, we've donated over a half
million dollars to our CTF consortium to a variety of
(38:51):
doctors all the UPMC that are helping to find treatments
and drugs to treat dementia.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Clear Thoughts Found Matt said, if you can't go to
the event this weekend, just drop a little bit in
the bucket and every little bit helps and hopefully we
can get a few more people out there for you
this Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Matt Jameson from the Clear Thoughts Foundation.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Matt, always a pleasure talking with you and all the
best of you and Haley and good luck.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
Thanks for doing the work on how far it is
from Mount Levane Tomors.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
We appreciate that you got it.
Speaker 8 (39:24):
You got it. Thank you guys. Thanks for all your
support of so many Pittsburgh charities. You guys just do
an amazing job. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Well back at you.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Thanks Matt. We'll see you buddy all right. Matt Jameson
from Clear Thoughts Foundation. Abby's got your news coming up next.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
One of the riskiest roads in the country is right
here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 11 (39:41):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE brought
to you by Kelly and Pizza and Draft Out, three
time World Pizza champions and.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Steelers Pro Shop.
Speaker 11 (39:50):
Get it direct from the team at Shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom Offerman.
Speaker 12 (39:54):
The Steelers added to their wide receiver room yesterday evening,
as the team signed wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scantling to
deal voughtas. Scantling was currently a free agent after playing
five games with the forty nine Ers before the team
released him a couple weeks ago. Vadas Scantling is an
eight year vet who has one hundred and eleven games
under his belt in his NFL career, has two hundred
and nine catches, three thy, six hundred and six career yards,
and twenty touchdown receptions.
Speaker 13 (40:16):
He is also the active career leader in yards per.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
Reception, averaging seventeen point three yards per catch, a sign
that he might be able to provide the Steelers offense
with some downfield explosion in the passing game. There's no
denying the obvious connection Vadis Scantling has with quarterback Aaron
Rodgers too, as the two spent four seasons in Green
Bay together from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one. The
task now for the Steelers will be to fined a
fit in that receiver room for Valdez Scantling, a room
(40:40):
that just saw second year man Roman Wilson have his
best and most.
Speaker 13 (40:43):
Active game of his career.
Speaker 12 (40:45):
Mike Tomlin holds his weekly press conference today at noon
and will shed more light on the acquisition of Vadis
Scantling as well as the state of the rest of
the team.
Speaker 13 (40:52):
I'm Tom Afferman with the Steelers Report.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
The Black and Gold faith will always travel well to
see the team on the road. And now Calliena and
d VEE. Give you a chance to become a road warrior.
We're teaming up to send two lucky fans
