Speaker 1 (00:02):
What about your kids.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
What's the worst movie you guys watch with your kids
or the most uncomfortable?

Speaker 3 (00:06):
I mean, you know the movie that Abby recommended for me.

Speaker 4 (00:10):
He told me to watch this movie Barbarian, And there
is a shocking newte scene.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
It was so awkward that we all hysterically laugh because
it's this old woman. It's very gross.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
I haven't had any wild experiences with Edie yet.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
A little too young.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
She's a little too young, although I will tell you
that a reminder that at one point, you know, like
Sestame 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 Saguchi came on in
the scene where like Lady Gaga is getting railed, and

(00:51):
I'm just like, I just sort the TV off real
quick and just be like, let's wait a minute, why
don't you go upstairs and get some Apple slices?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Logging Brandy Bellman and the DV morning show.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, Barbarian. That was written by Zach Craiger. He's the
one that wrote Weapons Uh and he was in the
comedy troupe the Whitest Kids, you know, do you remember
that that comedy show. Yeah, he was a part of them.
They were they had a TV show for a little bit.
But it seems like he's taking the same trajectory as

(01:27):
Jordan Peele, you know, horror films. And I never thought
about the relationship between comedy and horror until I've heard
Dana Gould on his podcast, and I'm a massive Dana
Gould fan, and he has illustrated so many times why
comedy and horror are so closely aligned, and it makes
perfect sense. I mean, it can be very simply summed

(01:48):
up in the you know, build up of tension and release.
But it seems like people who were good at comedy
are also pretty good at horror.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
I think so too. I mean, think about the Tim
Robbinson stuff with like The Chair Company. Easily, No, I
don't need to think about what you're talking about, the
almost psychosis level of ego centric thinking that you would

(02:18):
have to have to be that obsessive and thought to
make like that kind of show about you know, one
incident and he and and he turns it into a comedy,
but it's still like a neurosis, Like yeah, it's an obsession.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
Change the music.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
It's a horror you know, right, So like I can
completely see even like there's jokes about you know, you
change the music and Missus doubtfire and it's a horror film.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
You change the music in Seinfeld and it's horror.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Oh yeah, that's so funny.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
You change the music and Missus doubtfire and it's horror movie.
Totally well, And I watched the movie Weapons, and Zach
Kreger had said that, and I liked it very much.
By the way, if you're looking for a good horror movie,
I think that that's a that's a pretty good modern
horror flick.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
It has has a pretty decent payoff.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
But and I think that the woman in that movie
that's like the villain is a big Halloween costume this year.
But he said that he put a lot of jokes
in there originally, and he and he went to like
the test screenings, and when people weren't laughing at the jokes,
he took them all out, Yeah, because he he was like,

(03:35):
if they're not laughing, then they're not they're not serving
a purpose. Like he really wanted to make sure that
that they were helping build the tension and like just
letting a little air out of the tension, and he's
like and it was just killing it.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
So it took all those jokes out.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
But there are a couple of like there's a couple
of visual things that are hilarious in that movie.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, but everything that I've seen, like everything I remember
being funny in horror movies, I don't know we're intentionally
made to be funny. Like an Evil Dead I can't
remember too where he one of the people gets sexually
assaulted by a tree all right, well.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oops, yeah, yeah, or the hand Bruce Campbell, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
I thought there were some funny moments in American Psycho.
I think I wasn't supposed to laugh at Oh.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Are you kidding me? That Huey Lewis.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
Well, the Huey Lewis thing I think is funny.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
But there's also something where he's like chasing one of
the women like out of his apartment and then he
drops like a chainsaw and it hits her perfectly.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
And she goes like yes. I was like, I was.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Like maybe one of the only people in the theater
that was laughing, And.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
I was like, oh God, I guess I guess it's.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Me right in the theater.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Ye.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Speaking of weird nudity, I think the best horror movie
that I've seen that's recently out is that movie.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, so I thought, I agree with you. I loved
the production of it too. I think it looks awesome.
It's a visually cool film. It looks very retro the
like art design on that and the wardrobe and everything.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, really cool.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
I like its prequel, Pearl better, but I feel like
it better. I thought there was a little bit more
of a story and she was more psychotic in it.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
I thought X was stylistically beautiful, but I thought Pearl
had more of a story to bite into.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
She's something a goth.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and she does she work with that
director or something, which you know.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Maxine, which was the third movie in that trilogy I hated.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Really, I don't know that. I don't think I saw
it all.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
It was like the eighties version of that movie, and
I just I think they wasted Uh there could have
been something cool there.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
I think they just wasted it.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Well. The thing I'll say about Weapons is this is
that it reminded me of an night Shallaman movie. But
you know where those after the sixth sense, stop having
like payout like the end, you'd be.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Like, that's it.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
What the hell? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, this one at least has like a little
bit of an ending, and it's not completely gratifying, but
it wasn't like just made up for no reason, do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, Long Legs.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I felt it was kind of like the end of
Long Legs to me was lacking. And I thought that
was another one where it's like, as you're watching it,
you're like, this is geting. This is a classic horror movie. Man,
Nicholas Cage is so spooky in this, and then it
kind of ends and you're.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Like, wait a minute.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
My big thing with Long Legs and I had this
conversation i think, with Sean Collier, and it was more
of an off air conversation that because we were just
totally nerding out. My issue with Long Legs was that
I cannot for the sake of horror.

Speaker 6 (06:58):
Unless it's camp.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
I don't like evil for the sake of evil, and
Long Legs had an identity issue because it was kind
of presenting itself as this like Silence of the Lambs
kind of film, and so when you do that as
a marketing tool. It kind of makes it seem like
we're gonna find out so much about this antagonist, Like
we're gonna find out so much about this villain and

(07:22):
this deep underbelly of why he's so evil, and we
never do.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
He's just a freak. And it's half magical.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Mystery and half yeah, cop drama, and it never tells
you which one it's doing at any given point.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
So at the end you're just like, was that fun?

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (07:47):
No, No, it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well so and he likes t Rex Yeah right cool?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, so you wouldn't recommend it? Now it suck.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I don't have a.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Girl.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, I know that the voice is kind of crazy,
but with this being Halloween week and everybody kind of
you know, gorging the that's the wrong word, but uh
binging the gorge the gore.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Did you watch Sinners and did you like Sinners? I
like Sinners? Yeah, yeah I did.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
I did like it.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
It it was trying to accomplish a lot, but yeah,
I actually enjoy it. I think it was trying to
accomplish a lot. That's why I liked Weapons because it
was much more of a simple one. Weapons has a
real stranger things vibe to it too.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
I can get down with that. Yeah, I can get
down with.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
That because it's kids.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
Yeah, you, Sinners was fun, I think.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
Did you like, uh, I'll give people time to still
see Sinners because I feel like there's nothing like Lake to.

Speaker 6 (08:48):
The Party anymore.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
You don't want to spoil it.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
I actually liked all of the fighting and like kind
of like I to turn into just like a straight
up vampire movie.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
I'm like, this is fun.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Yeah, but I didn't need I didn't need any big
lesson at the end.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
And I think that at the end it was turning.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Into a little bit of like, let's get a lesson
in and I'm like, yeah, I was kind of like,
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I stopped at the cleaners yesterday and the girl who
works there, she had this Tracula shirt on, you know,
and I'm like, all right, well, what's your favorite Tracula movie?
And she's like, well, I just bought this whole pack
of Dracula movies from some vinted shop over in Dormont.
She was telling me about She's like very excited to
delve into them. And she asked me, She's like, well,
what do you think is the best one. I'm like,
I'm admittedly I've only seen like four or five of them,

(09:36):
but to me, I always tell you Nusfraut to The
klaus Kinski one, to me is the spookiest one ever
because you really kind of feel like, no, no, yeah,
this guy's gonna eat this person in front, like I'm
gonna watch it happen.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
He is terrifying me right now.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
But she was leading more on the classic ones, the
older ones, as being like even Scario, Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'm not sure that I feel that way.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
I don't think I think those are real kind of
can't be I like the Universal Monster movie and stuff.
But I watch him for kind of like, oh this
is fun.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
Yeah, fun to he's so ridiculous as Dracula to me,
I guess whenever, like they're in like a train car
and he's like basically undressing them with his eyes the
whole time.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
You're like, how did you guys not know?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, he wanted to eat you.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah, it was just it's like that's not just somebody
being Ukrainian.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
How did you not sniff that out?

Speaker 6 (10:36):
Like something's happening here?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
What would you do?

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Would have said to you, like well, what Blacula is
really my favorite? Donla you never go Bacula?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Wasn't that in the seventies?

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, Blacula. The guy who was in Blacula, I think
is it Richard Ronchers that the same day played Chef.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
No, no, no, it's some guy I don't.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I remember seeing his name somewhere when somebody posted something
about it. But it's not a guy who's like a
household name or anything.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
It was portrayed by. First of all, Blacula is a
fictional character at eighteenth century African prince named Mama Walde
Mama Woldey, who was turned into a vampire by Count Dracula.
So Count Dracula bit a black dude and then he
became Blacula.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
William Marshall is the actor. Okay, ye, not a popular actor. No,
I think he was in.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
They put him in like one of the Quentin Tarantino movies,
like Quentin put him in.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Something, did you guys like from Dust till Dawn?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I loved it, Okay, I did.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
I love I remember seeing that movie and not knowing
that it was going to be a vampire movie and
hating that because I thought before turned to that it
was so interesting to me, Like I just wanted to
see another Tarantino film where maybe they get into something
dicey in that club.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
But I just like my mind, I got to go.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Back and watch it because that just pissed me off.
I was like, I was unaware of this turn in
the movie, and I don't like it.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
Yeah, not what I came here for. Did you like
the bram Stokers Dracula? Like I actually I, oh yeah,
legitimately liked that one, and I still think it is
that scary oldman. Yeah it it holds up okay for me,
I thought it was scary.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
There's a movie called Sunrise where guy, uh, what the
hell's name the guy who was in Get Piers and.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
It's like, oh, it's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
It starts off as this civil war drama and it's
like a civil war, and you know it's the first
forty five minutes you're kind of thinking, like, how is
this horror movie?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I mean it is.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
It is like it's tense and it's drama and everything,
and it's kind of like, oh, is he gonna get killed?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
And it's like a kind of a war.

Speaker 7 (13:05):
History movie and then it morphs into a horror movie.
In the middle of this Confederate Army like scenario, and
it's awesome.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
I can get down.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's really cool because it's a little bit of a
misdirection and even if you know it's coming, it's it's
The payoff is great and it's full of really good actors.
But it was like kind of slept on. I think
it's Sunrise. Maybe it's not Sunrise. Maybe I'm I got
No it's called.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
Sunrise, and I feel like it only came out last year.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
No that's not the Oh it is, Yes, it is four.
I thought I saw that a couple more than a
year ago.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well, at any rate, highly recommend that one because it
is it's one of those you touch a lot of bases,
you know, it's got a historical, you know, war vibe
to it, and then a horror movie.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
The end of it is crazy.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
But it's got like that from Dust Till Dawn thing
right where you like, you think it's one kind of
movie and then it just turns into a completely different one.

Speaker 6 (14:04):
That's cool.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah, vampire movies are hard to do, I think, well, oh,
I agree, they really are. And and that's a really
good way of like bringing it into like something that
feels historic.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, you were watching Uspartuo on the way back from Dublin.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
I needed to watch it again because I enjoyed it
in the theater. I thought it had again to kind
of geek out the way that I did with like
Sean Kllier when we got to talk about the movie.
I actually thought it had a lot of socioeconomic like
uh undertones that they popped into it for this iteration
of it, because it's not they they changed a couple
things in it that I thought were like really nuanced

(14:43):
and layered. But also I thought that the way that
they did the movie stylistically was really really beautiful, and
I kind of just wanted to watch it again because
it had been a minute. But I thought the way
they did this one, I thought was really great and
they just had a way of making you get really
attached to it because otherwise vampire movies, I think can
get like over romanticized in a way that makes vampires

(15:06):
the least scary of all of the monsters. Yes, like
it's I mean or too sexualized in a way where.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
It's like oh bite me, Like ah, it's like.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
It's like not scary, Like there's something about like the
way you have to create the threat a little bit more.
I don't know, did you.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Did you guys ever see the SNL skit about gay Dracula.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Which I don't know if I remember.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
He's like, I'm not gay. I want to suck your blood.
And then he like turns into a bat and they're like,
oh my god, there he is.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
He's a bat, and oh my god, look at that
other bat.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Look at what they're doing together.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
And he comes back and he's like, I swear to God, I.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Do not want to sleep with Renfro. He's a mental defective.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
I want to do that.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
You can tell us what you were saying about nous
Feratio in the in this socio political sort of undertones.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
You know, the comedian House Sparks.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
He was in here one time, he was in town
and he went on this whole run of how you
can you can tell the mood of the country socioeconomically,
socio politically by the tenor of the horror movies, And
it was like, I couldn't do it justice, but it
was he at the time. It was a real brilliant parallel.

(16:27):
He was drawing between what was real popular back then.
I want to say it was like ten years ago.
But I guess it makes sense in a way that
it's just all But I would argue that you could
make the same argument about any kind of movie and
where the movie industry goes, and the whole Marvel world
blowing up when it did, you could probably attribute to

(16:50):
people's fascination with Somebody Come and Save us.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Are you referring to the Marvel movie Civil War? Oh?

Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, not even that one, but yeah, something I'm along
the lines of like super Anyways.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
I love I mean I love not just like I'm
not a big Dracula guy, but I do love vampire movies.
And two vampire movies from my childhood where Jim Carrey's
movie Once Bitten.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Did you guys ever see that?

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah? And with warn Hunting and Lost Boys? Love Lost
Lost Boys was a classic.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Love Lost Boys. Innocent Blood was a Pittsburgh filmed Dracula movie.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Oh really, yes, Oh my god, it's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
John Landis made it too. Pretty good.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Wow, Oh dude, it's like, dude, they're like right outside
a club cafe and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
Boy, if it's not, let.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Me see that, that's all right?

Speaker 1 (17:53):
They not for not for not instead of it's not
for not.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
For noten, that's not for utting Dad ass for aw
to Ma who fall up.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Jaculate puts coastline French fries on your neck.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Chris tastes like burns. It's like Turner's true blood.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, Pittsburgh vampires all right, Well, you know, look, this
is a horror town. Even though they might be tearing
down the Monroeville Mall coming up here soon. This is
you know, we invented zombies in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
They still did the zombie walk this past weekend at.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
The Monroeville Sunday night against the Packers. Yeah, Mike's out
your sports next.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
I like to hear the Doobie Brothers social phone or
the talkback button on the iHeart radio app.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Is how you reach us with your requests. You build
the menu rocket weekdays at noon on the DV Electric Lunch.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's Randy from the DV to get to good Engwin's
stuff from last night. Sidney Crosby in company as well.
But how do you not talk about the World Series
Game three, eighteen innings long Shoe a Otani got on
base nine times and Freddy Freeman once again with a

(19:19):
walk off home run.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
In consecutive years in a World Series game.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
They're calling it like every seamhead website out there is
losing their mind in reviewing this game.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
And I saw one third of it, not even not
even right.

Speaker 9 (19:35):
I saw none of its sports. That's how brought to
you by Bridgeville Appliance. It didn't end until the bottom
of the eighteenth when Freddy Freeman hit the home run
that delivered a six' five victory for The dodgers over
The Blue jays in the two games to one lead
in The World. Series But Freddie freeman was emphasizing in
the immediate aftermath that this was Show Hey o'tani's. Night

(19:56):
he got on base nine. Times he went four for
four with two doubles and two home. Runs he was
walked five, times four times, intentionally including becoming the first
player in baseball history to get walked intentionally in the
ninth inning or later with the bases empty in a postseason.

(20:18):
Game they were just done dealing with it after all
the damage that he. Did first player in postseason history
to get on base nine, times fourth time that's happened
in any kind of, game And show Heeo toni became
the second player in world series history to have four
extra base hits in the. Game the first time occurred

(20:39):
in nineteen oh.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Six the interesting thing about, this, too is this was
a series where the bullpens are such a factor in
how it's going to play, out because either one is
capable of. Imploding and at one point there are so
many highlights in that, game which was two full baseball.
Games Clayton kershaw came in cold with the bases loaded

(21:04):
in the twelfth and got out of.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
It it was four to.

Speaker 9 (21:08):
Four excuse, me it was five to five after the seventh.
Inning so they went ten consecutive innings without. Scoring Mike
lord and.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Once it gets to the ninth inning you have to
Walk O. Taani one swing of the bat could end the. Game,
yeah how much he's left the, Yard, like that's just good.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Baseball, well the argument, is after he hits the first home,
run they should have just given him the base every single.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Time one home, run eight walks should have been his,
line and he gets the ball to night in gave.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Four so he ended up with two home, runs two,
doubles and five, walks.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
And he's gonna have twelve k's. Tonight it's gotta be.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Inarguable, now, Right, mike this is the greatest baseball performance
that has ever, occurred you, know by a single.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Player have to.

Speaker 9 (21:56):
Really do some hard digging into pay, Ruth but, YEAH i.
DON'T i can't imagine anything on that, stage in that.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Moment if he.

Speaker 10 (22:05):
Goes out in fans ten, tonight just build statues of
him in every park because he deserves to be revered
as a.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
GOD i don't know how he's doing. This, well maybe it's.
Drugs it might be Ped, actually it might Be, yeah
that might be how he's doing.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
It but it's just crazy that they paid him three
quarters of a billion dollars and it's already paid.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Off, yeah it was a great. Investment can't wait to
see him pitch.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Tonight it does stink, that you, KNOW i don't know
how many kids are getting to watch these. Games you know,
this this definitely would be something that you'd want your
your son to stay up and.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Watch but three in the, morning nobody stayed up for.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
It baseball stuff cared about that a long time. Ago
six hours and thirty nine.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Minutes, plus these games don't. Disappear they end up on
YouTube or something. Like these kids are watching all these
moments that are happening in these. Games maybe not in
the way that we used to, watch like live, unfolding
but they see all the.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
HIGHLIGHTS i mean there were base running, flubs great defensive.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Plays it wasn't just a boring eighteen. Innings it Was.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Oh there were past there was.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Everything some bad third base.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Coaching you, know a guy goes from goat Like, edmon
makes an error and then turns around and makes an
unbelievable throw to third base for a crucial out in
the ninth. Inning so there was drama on, there storylines
all over the.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Diamond, well and.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
It's a tribute TO i, mean you AND i both love, Baseball,
BILL i think you'd like.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
IT i loved it WHEN i was a. Kid but
then you, know The pirates sucked for twenty.

Speaker 9 (23:42):
Years everything that's wrong with it when they play the,
games the, analytics all the garbage that's attached to the modern,
game and you still get.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
That, well that's just it is that we're not talking
it endures because what it is at its.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Core, yeah we're not talking about anybody's war last.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Night, no you, know it's just like did you see that?
Throw how about that home?

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Run?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh my, god that you know that he got out
of that.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Jam it's just at that point it's as basic baseball
appreciation as it. Gets The World series, going that's.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Fifty a.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
M the game, ends and The kershaw thing was so.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Crazy that pressure in that, spot with his, age the
fact that he announced that he was retiring earlier this, year.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
With his reputation in the postseason. TOO i, mean if
he if he blows that.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
ONE i didn't, START i, know but it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Matter that would have followed, him like, Definitely like a
lot of the, times guys like, him they're defined by
how things.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Go at the.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
End you, KNOW i don't think anything's gonna get On
sures for his performance last, night BUT i mean giving
him up to you, know serving up show a probably
not the, smartest Right.

Speaker 9 (24:57):
Yeah and with no matter what they they might have
told him to watch. Exactly, No i'm not doing that right.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Now you.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Know well they've had him coming out of the pen,
too haven't.

Speaker 9 (25:06):
They he wasn't even active for the one. Series it
wasn't only active. Roster it's.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Crazy it is JUST i don't think people were really
excited about this series because it was The Blue. JAYS
i don't think a lot of people love The dodgers,
yet and they hate The. Dodgers, yeah they are Basically
West Coast. Yankees ye, So.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
But vladi VERSUS O tawny is good for the.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Game you cannot see the premier players can't argue with
the star power to your, Point bill and the amazing
drama that this series has already.

Speaker 9 (25:35):
Delivered great game four, Tonight penns meet To blues six to.
Three last, Night sidney crossby a three point. Night he
surpasses seventeen hundred career, points ninth player AT nhl history
to do, so and he does it in the fourth fewest,
games behind Only Wayne, Gretzky Mario olueux And Marcel dion

(25:56):
Penz aer And Philly Tonight. Steelers according To Jeremy follower
OF ESPN r adding wide Receiver Marquez valdez Scantling.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Gero Harmer, schmidt.

Speaker 9 (26:06):
Who is familiar With Aaron rodgers spent four seasons with
him In green bay. 'es, Basically Mike williams hopefully was
a little more, juice but he's he's just a big
down the field.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Guy he's not going to light it.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
All so they're going to throw to, him they're going
to be, successful and then they're never going to throw
to him again in the.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Game could work out that. Way but if you beat The,
colts it's worth it right. Totally they beat their commanders last. Year,
yeah The Mike williams moment.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Created the most unrealistic expectation for how The Mike williams
experiment was going to.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Go, ever that was the last TIME i let myself be.
FOOLED i Think i'm done being, fooled.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Really BECAUSE i was fooled at the beginning of this.
SEASON i don't THINK i WAS.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
I didn't trust it this. YEAR i didn't want to
give up on it. Early but.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
To rewrite history over, Here remember we came, in we
were pissed about the win after The jets, game and
we were just about the win after a couple of.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Games that's proving my point. Though, no But mike was,
like well they're.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Winning this team is.

Speaker 9 (27:08):
Good no, no, no, no. No he was bailing on.
IT i, said give it time to see what it.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
IS i didn't say it was going to be early
Because i've seen this play.

Speaker 9 (27:20):
BEFORE i didn't make the early call that it was
going to be not good. Enough but probably ready to
make that.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
CALL i think we were a little more concerned about
the offense, initially even the, Line, yeah run the ball
right and then the then the defensive line breakdown. Happened
but we thought they got it fixed In dublin and
they were on there and then for those matchups that
was a blowout and now It's, boy it seems to

(27:48):
be a lot different on both.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
ENDS i, Mean I'm i'm with. You we're The. Bengals
now we have to outscore.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Everybody, yeah we'll see What Charlie batch has to say about.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
It exactly what you want to aspire to. Be at
the start of the.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Season we're gonna start making players walk across a freeway
to get the.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Practice we'd be just like we could be The.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Bengals there's more points than anybody and missed the.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Playoffs we have to put an escaloser from the mop
or deck all the.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Way that's what the incline is.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Now it's just the forget to. Zip they just like
a big. Loser, yeah, man they don't have to draft
picks ride. Down it is, yeah into the.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
River every TIME i see footage of one of The
bengals players having to walk across that.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Street to go to practice in their. Cleats it makes
me lie in that wedding. Tent, Yeah steelers used to do.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
That, well, yeah they were probably also like getting off
third shift and going to.

Speaker 9 (28:41):
Work, NO i mean before they built the South side,
facility they had.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
A grass practice.

Speaker 9 (28:47):
Field it's it's green lot twenty one now and it
was only rich the yards long or something like. That
and they used to walk down the road and go
across the. Street that's Where cordell did the h slash
thing when they had all those. INJURIES a wide, receiver
they had them run routes and nobody could.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Cover really, yeah oh, later and you think he's probably
better shape Than akersher's field is right now, too? Probably,

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Engine Mister steelers one on two point, five our next
guest brought to you By Edgar snyder and. Associates they
are always looking out for you in this imperfect. World
before you talk to the insurance, company Find edgar from
The Steelers Audio network postgame show where he resides along
with our own mic pursuit Of Charlie.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Batch, ladies you, know n.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
Good, morning how's ever?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Won?

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Well you, know one day, better one day removed from
the aftermath Of sunday's embarrassing loss to The packers at.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Home so my question is the. Same so my question
to you is This.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Charlie, defensively this seems to be the biggest issue with
The steelers right.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Now the.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Defense is it a matter of coaching or is it
a matter of player.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Ability it's a combination of.

Speaker 8 (31:42):
Both and when you talk about player, ability the coaches
do a good job of putting him in one on one,
situations but yet they're not making the plays. Consistently but
then on the flip, side they're essentially getting out scheme
because in game adjustments that are happening you can pretty
much predict what the defense is doing and added heavily
to the opposites of and you can see them taking
advantage of every opportunity their, way and that's why you

(32:04):
Saw Jordan love complete the passes in the manner that he.

Speaker 9 (32:08):
Was, charlie it looks like the biggest issue is just
not understanding how to play zone or our Buddy Merril
hodge has been hammering this point some of the national
people that break down clips and put them On. Twitter
it looks like they're covering zones as opposed to covering actual.
Targets how fixable is?

Speaker 8 (32:28):
That, yeah the station paks and they're playing a lot
of combination coverages on the, backside and when that doesn't,
happen it leads guys wide open and then they're just
looking at each. Other the other thing that's concerning to
me is the fact that it looks Like Patrick queen
is doing too much at the before the ball's not
trying to get everybody lined, up and by the time

(32:48):
he turns around the ballist now he loses his keys
and there's goes another guy that's running scott free around his.
Defense so we talk about the communication, issue but YET
i don't know how many times we can harp on
this because we're not seeing it translate into.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
Games the THING i can't get out of my, Head
charlie is Hearing Cam hayward say that they don't have
a lot of.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Fight are you surprised.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
To hear that kind of thing from a side of
the ball that has that much money and that many veterans.

Speaker 8 (33:17):
And the leader of the, team he's been here the.
Longest and then we're not talking just the defensive side
of the. Ball we're talking. Overall and you can just
see the body. Language after The packers were driving down
the field they ended up scoring one, touchdown AND i
was just watching the guys walk off the.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Field their heads.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
Were, down my comin's looking at, them and then you
can See Cam hayward just kind of turned around and
observing that picture of what he. Saw and then by
his comments after the, game that lets me know that
particular series was Where cam was fed up with. It
and you never Hear cam emotionally talk about these things after.
Game he loved to keep thinking in the, house but

(33:54):
right there he was sending his message to the team and,
say guys just can't continue to.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Happen how impactful is the Just On elliott, injury.

Speaker 8 (34:03):
The reason Why Jabriel peppers was brought here at In
september because of the injury. There but yet you star
When deshaun is in that, lineup you see, that you
see things, moving and this is going to be huge
because we don't know how long he's going to be.
Out i'm sure we'll get the update here in a
couple hours from coach tomin and during his press, conference
but if he's out right, now there's probably scouring the

(34:25):
waiver wire to see who was out, there and if
you didn't have a viable, choice essentially In, september there's
not going to be many people that you can actually
hire and bring here to help out in this particular.
Manner so this is going to be a big deal
For Jabil peppers because now he has a month into
this deep as of learning. It we want to see
more from, him all.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Right, Offensively Mike pursuit has been pointing out, that you,
know WHILE dk has made some big, plays he hasn't made,
enough and he had a couple of examples THAT i
think really shone a light on where we might be
able to get a little more out OF. Dk what
do you see from his performance so far and where
is he excelled and where's he falling?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Short, YEAH i agree with.

Speaker 8 (35:05):
You you know we'd want to see more from. There
but the defense, is do you know that he's going
to be the key to w timmy Him if there's
a one on one, Option, yes he has to win.
Those but, again when you're not making first downs, consistently
you're not going to see more of that. Play and
that's WHY i was harping on the fact that saying
they have somebody outside of the NAME dk has to step,
up and those guys haven't done it consistently to put

(35:27):
fears in those, defenses and that's why you're seeing the
limitations WITH dk right.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Now, so, yes we're we just.

Speaker 8 (35:33):
Brought In marquez UH Vd KREZ i think that was
his last, Name, apologizical.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
THE, GOVS, mvs nobody, knows.

Speaker 8 (35:45):
Correct so when you bring someone in like, that they'll
let you know that group outside OF dk is not
getting it done so that they have to do so
in order for DK's number to.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Increase i'm kind of worried about The indy colts coming in.
Here this is at the beginning of the, YEAR i, thought, Like,
god this is a game we should be able to.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Win now they're the hottest team in THE.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Nfl Daniel jones is the prime example of why you
can't ever give up on a quarterback who's only been
with one organization.

Speaker 8 (36:14):
And it changes the. Scenery sometimes it is better and
when you get to that particular, point unfortunately things don't
work out with one. Organization but yet this is him
flourishing in the offense.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
That works for.

Speaker 8 (36:24):
Him he was a top draft poop pick for a.
Reason now he's showcasing. It but to your, point there's
no way in heck that anybody can ever.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Envision that The culture are going to come in here.

Speaker 8 (36:33):
On seven seven and one the hottest team in THE
afc right, now and at this particular, point all the
marbles are here for The. Steelers and the only thing
THAT i can hopefully help with These steelers at this
particular point is this Is Super bowl Forty reunion. Weekend
seeing these guys come in knowing that the ultimate goal
is now hoisting That Lombardy. Trophy seeing these guys come,

(36:54):
in maybe that little motivation On saturday when guys are
around this current team maybe it helps them get a
we're not hump and want to play and, say, hey,
guys we need this in front of these guys who
have proven that they can go out and win A Super.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Bowl charlie in The pocket event for The Batch foundation
is right around the.

Speaker 8 (37:12):
Corner, yes we are approaching two weeks to our, event
so we are super excited about. This, Yes, Thursday november,
thirteenth we are having our annual in The pocket event

Distillery complex down there in The South side, There so
we're super. Excited pool, poker ping. Pongs this year we

excited about. It so if anybody wants more information about,
it you can go To batchfoundation dot. Org and also

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Org there will be a lot of people, there BUT
i know one person who won't Be John. Harbaugh he
hates all those, things, cool ping.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Pong it's.

Speaker 8 (38:06):
Amazing it's amazing when you had, this when those secur stories.
HAPPENED i let you know that you're not. Winning it
reminds me of two thousand and. Nine we were, hot
we were seven and. Two that was when we ended
up losing like seven of the next six of election
eight or whatever it, was and we finished eight and. Eight,
now remember at that point we had all the. Luxuries
we had to pull pool table in, there ping, pong we,

(38:28):
man shuffle, board and we started losing a couple of,
games and all of a sudden we come down out
of a team meeting and those things were gone and be, like, okay,
guys you got to go back to proving that you could.
Win and that was literally in two thousand and. Nine
so this story reminds me of.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Pack does that really piss off the players?

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Though OR i, mean does it have like a hum
man like are people really angry about it or are
they just kind of like, Whatever we're.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Yeah, guy because it breaks up at the.

Speaker 8 (38:50):
Monotony you, know you're, like, okay you come, down, okay
instead of sitting around in your locker eady. Lunch, okay,
man let's great play a game of ping. Pong mine, Right,
yeah guys gets frustrated with. That, again those are perks
that comes along with, winning and when you, don't those are.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Removed, see IF i were a coaching my team was doing,
POORLY i would give them more.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Games, well you, guys enough. Games you're not having.

Speaker 8 (39:11):
Enough trust, me we didn't Have we guys would create.
Games Ben ben literally created this game basketball in the
locker room when he would put a garbage, stand a
bag in the garbage stand and we would tape up
and make it a ball and then you create a
three point line and he'd just starts shooting. Around it's,
like those are little things that you get bored. With
and that Was ben's game and he was killing people with,

(39:32):
it like a lot of different things that he was
able to beat everybody. Up but that was just one
one night.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Example i'll tell you, What, charlie if you want to
sell some tickets to in The, pocket you got to
Get ben to bring that game to the end The
pocket event and make it one of the featured.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Games locker room. Basketball, oh, absolutely the.

Speaker 8 (39:51):
GUY i remember one literally one day we were getting
ready for Our Super, BOWL i think maybe in two
thousand and, nine as we're celebrating that first, game And
Snoop dogg was in the locker room literally looking over watching, it, like,
man look at these pools over here playing basketball in
the garbage. Can And ben looks at him and, like,
oh you think you can do? Better he tossed the
ball At snoop And snoop is running around trying to
act like a shoot some some three pointers and through

(40:12):
a garbage. Team so you see a lot of stories like.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
