Speaker 1 (00:00):
She just entered this nationwide keyword at DVE dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Cash.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
That's cash. Enter it now at dve dot com. Live
from the Don's Appliance to studios where Pittsburgh shops for
appliance is. This is w DV Pittsburgh. I stopped at
the cleaners yesterday and the girl who works there, she
had this Tracula shirt on, you know, and I'm like,

(00:25):
all right, well, what's your favorite Tracula movie? And she's like,
I just bought this whole pack of Dracula movies from
some vented shop over in Dormont, and she asked me,
She's like, well, what do you think is the best one.
I'm like, I admittedly I've only seen like four or
five of them, but to me, I always tell you,
Nusfraut to the klaus Kinski one, to me is the
spookiest one ever.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
I guess whenever, like they're in like a train car. Yeah,
and he's like basically undressing them with his eyes the
whole time. You're like, how did you guys not know?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, he wanted to eat you.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
It's like that's not just somebody being Ukrainian.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
How did you not sniff that out?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
He's like something, what would you do?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
See what it said to you?

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh what? Blacula is really my favorite? Don't you go Blackula?
You never go Bacula.

Speaker 6 (01:18):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
That's Brandy Bellman and the d V Morning Show Bill
William Marshall, who played Blacula. I have been corrected by none,
none other than Joffo Simmons from The House Rockers. Joffo
texted me and said, uh, and Joffo is our official
Blackians are here on the DV Morning Show. Yeah, you're wrong.

(01:40):
William Marshall was a very popular actor when I grew up.
He was on a lot of TV shows San France,
on Why waw West and most notably he was Richard
Daystrom on Star Trek. What's t O S Star Trek
t S?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Uh. He invented the chaff was coming for you. He
invented the computers that I have starships, he said, So
there you go, William Marshall.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I'm just kidding, but I never would watch Star Trek.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Everybody always a little you didn't watch Star Trek. I
can't believe it. You would love Star Trek and everything
I know about Star Trek in terms of the you know,
the allegory of what it's what it's all about.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, I'm for it. I dig it. It's kind of like, yeah,
like what Twilight Zone was really about? Like, yeah, but
I love Twilight Zones. I just sci fi loses me.
I don't know why. I just don't get into sci fi,
even like Alien, which was an awesome movie, but I
stopped it. Alien I never even care. I think I
watched Alien two one time and I'm like, yeah, those

(02:43):
movies just don't resonate with me.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
And I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Every alien after Alien is.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Alien all over again.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, like every single one is alien again. There's always
an alien in someone's stomach and we've got to get
it out.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Isn't the best? Well, so it's like Liam Neeson taken.
They just keep taking his gibs over and over again. Yeah,
a very special set of aliens.

Speaker 7 (03:10):
Oh that would be great. I mean that that should
be the next taken taken by aliens.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Naw, He's like, guys, this is actually out of my jurisdiction.
I don't have any tools for this. This is anybody
have a space here, this is intercollecting. I have a prius. Uh,
I mean, he's got your news right now. In the
DV Morning other we're doing a lot of monster movie

(03:35):
and horror movie talk. You know, it's Halloween. It's Halloween
Halloween Week.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Which you know that kind of lends itself well to
our first story this hour, which is brought to you
by a Better Call Sy mostly Sonny and Breezy. Today
High fifty six, there was a survey that has uncovered
the most hunted population centers from coast to coast. Probably
not a big surprise that New Orleans is the number
one spot, the big easy where there are seventy nine

(04:02):
cemeteries within municipal boundaries and some of the most popular
tourist attractions in town they're in love with. They're very
colorful and spooky past. They've got a lot of crypt collections,
they've got the most psychics, They've had the most ghost
sightings per one hundred thousand souls and an average building

(04:23):
age of fifty one years. But this is what's wild
to me, and we're going to have to put this
together on our own, because when I pulled the article,
I kept trying to find the reason why, and they
didn't really provide one. Pittsburgh came in at number three,
the ten tenth spookiest city in the US. Number three, Really, Pittsburgh,

(04:47):
Why are we so spooky?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I don't understand that either.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
Is that because the history of the spooky movies the
horror film industry?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
I think, yeah, I don't think it's property taxes, but
a hmmm, that's gotta be it. That means really, Thomasini's
from here, Greg Nikotaro is from here. Who's his disciple.
We've got horror movie legacy. But I don't consider it
to be a spooky town. New Orleans. I have been
to on Halloween. I think I was there with you

(05:17):
got you were there. There is a spookiness in town,
if you want to find it that it's my It's
the only thing that really scares me. I don't get
scared by monsters or like you know, the horror movie
you know, serial killer stuff, You're going to Hell hits me.
And the whole voodoo thing of like, oh no, we're

(05:39):
stealing your so you're going to hell, You're gonna burn.
And there was this story when I was growing up
of this couple that was from our town that went
to New Orleans in the late seventies, on a honeymoon
and they met a couple who were like, oh, welcome
to New Orleans and blah blah blah, and they're like
this town's great and everything. And then they have them
back to their house only to find out that they

(06:01):
are practicing voodoo witches and they murdered them in a
voodoo ceremony. Now I'm not sure I can't ever find
any proof of that, but that story was told to
me a hundred times, and I always associate New Orleans
with that. And when you get into some of that
voodoo stuff, like doctor John's biography, his autobiography where he

(06:22):
talks about like he knew the witches and stuff and
the people who practiced that that stuff scares the hell
out of me.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
No, the people that believe it really believe it. I
mean I remember being in New Orleans and going through
some of the shops and trying to find, you know,
things that I wanted to like buy and take home.
And at one point I remember walking through one of
the shops and seeing like a cat that was just chilling,
and I remember petting the cat and saying to the woman,

(06:50):
I said, that is one hell of a like cool cat,
because it was just so agreeable, and she said, Oh
my god, would you would not believe what kind of
a s Oliger he is? And i'ment all right, that
was like, oh really, he's a Capricorn. I gotta go so, like,
it's a really cool city and everything. The thing that

(07:12):
like is interesting about like the article. The only thing
that it like kind of gave us to go on
was like the research that is ranking here these cities
was going by number of cemeteries, number of graves and
ghost sightings per one hundred thousand, number of psychics, and
the median age of the city's buildings. So that's supposed

(07:37):
to be factoring in here. Does Pittsburgh have a lot
of psychics?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, I don't know about that, but there are haunted
places here, right for sure. Yeah, there's the I mean,
the Cathedral of Learning is supposedly haunted.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
I have a bunch of them. I actually Cathedral of
Learning is supposedly like the ghost in the Nationality Rooms
is like a big haunted thing, like apparently it's infamous
for flickering lights and cold spots.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
It's the ghost of John and Jenny.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
But like custodians and students have reported, there's closing doors,
and furnitures like furniture that shifts by itself. Some people
attribute the hauntings to a woman connected to the room's
design who died before it was completed.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
An interior decorator. This is so ghost, I must haunt.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's not how I had that room laid out.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Hey, guys, it's just like I was there. But the
other stories suggested the building's gothic architecture and history as
a wartime training ground left strong energy impressions and that's
why it's haunted.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
It is like a scary looking movie like building. It
looks like it could have been in the Ghostbusters movie,
you know, like it.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Has that stone scary. I mean, especially when it was
covered in soot.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
PPG Plaza does too, like the whole gothic look of
all of that.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, there was a glass spires.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
There was a In the eighties or nineties, wpx I
did a Haunted Pittsburgh. It's on YouTube, but it's it's
kind of hard to it's not great quality. Someone uploaded
it like from VHS, but you can. There's a firehouse
in Troy Hill that's supposed to be haunted.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
To right, Abby, I don't have it on my most
immediate list, but I I believe you.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
We definitely have a lot of graveyards.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Oh wait, is it engine House thirty nine? Yeah, it
is on my list. Oh take that back. I'm sorry,
bilk No.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
I was just going to say, like, I remember, there
was this place over by where I live in Frick
Park that we used to call Campshroom, and it went
on for years and years and years. And I don't
think we were the first people to party there. Definitely
weren't the last people to party there, but it was
in the woods behind a graveyard, and that was always

(09:59):
creepy as hell.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I was like, why are we here? This is spooky?

Speaker 3 (10:04):
So I found the video John Fedco did this. This
is the Fedco Twilight Zone apparently, and it's from the
nineties and he's sitting in front of a fire with
a smoking jacket, looking ominous, and he's talking about all
of the haunted things you see at the Engine House.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
A trip to Troy Hill where you may just find
a ghostly little group of Pittsburgh firefighter where you may
just find a ghostly group of Pittsburg firefighters.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Alright, noed is broken.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Where you like, but they interview all and David David
Johnson is up in the firehouse and they make it
all spooky. They're they're pumping in smoke and stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Well with that, Apparently, firefighters used to report that blankets
were being pulled off of them during their naps, footsteps
were always heard ups airs when no one was there,
and there was sightings of a ghostly dog who died
saving some members of the crew at one point.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
I don't think dogs haunts. Do you think dogs haunt?

Speaker 4 (11:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I never thought about it really a dog ghost. I mean,
I was just humping my leg.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I always kind of wish that if there's this afterlife
scenario that like all my dogs would be kind of
there waiting.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah. If they're not, then you went to you went
to the wrong place.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, because all dogs go to heaven.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
But is it dog heaven? And they're like, we're so
glad to be away from you.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, they want to.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Exactly to your body.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
We rule up here. Yeah, you lay down.

Speaker 8 (11:46):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Know, that's hell.

Speaker 8 (11:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, we are the pets for dogs.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Do you want to go outside and do your business?
Why don't you go do? Embarrassed they pour your bowling
of food, pour your food in a bowl. Food either
or you're on the leash. Now, how's it feel? Stop talking?
Stop talking? Your breast smells.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh, I don't like it when you scratched behind my
ear exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Now we're gonna cut your balls off.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
You start licking yourself? Is this heaven or hell?

Speaker 4 (12:25):
The old Allegheny County Jail also made the list. You've
seen that before. I've seen that riding my bike and
that actually that's another one that had I remember taking
a picture of it whenever I was riding my bike.
It had the creepiest cat sitting outside of it that
looked like a Jim Henson character. It was like this

(12:45):
big gray, fat cat that was sitting on like a
table that was just sitting outside.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
With the hair like everywhere.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, it looked like a cartoon. It looked like a skexy.
It was just like car like that. That cat was pissed.
I wouldn't have been surprised if I got closer to
it if it just had like one eye, but like that.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Bring up a cardboard side. Can you spare a fish? Right?

Speaker 9 (13:09):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Staff and maintenance cruiser reported cell doors clang shut, there's
disembodied footsteps and voices calling from lock cells.

Speaker 7 (13:18):
Is that is that the building on the trail like
going out to bicycle heaven?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
What is that? Because there's a like an.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Old abandoned building on that trail that's like past the casino,
past all that stuff like you're on.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh no, no, that's the That is the jail. That's
the old Alleghany jail. I thought I thought that's what
she's That's what I'm talking about. I thought you were
talking about. I'm thinking in my head, I was picturing
the courthouse.

Speaker 7 (13:42):
Uh that had now was a jail at one point,
I believe.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
And that's the jail I thought you were talking about,
because that was where the missus Sophotill or whatever she
broke those the guys out of jail. That like there's
a movie about it back in the.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Nut you know what I'm talking Wait, okay, so there
is there is a downtown Pittsford, like you're talking about
the old county deal that's connected to the courthouse. Yes, okay,
so there's like two that's there's two locations.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
So I think the one I thought you were talking about.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Okay, I'm talking about the one that's on the on
the trail like whenever you're going from like Millville all
the way down like past the casino.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yes, okay, so there's like multiple It's like where you
would go up to Riverside Park, it's right there right
like Brighton Heights yea off off Chateau Street.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Those are both on the list as haunted.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
But then they open that to film theory.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yeah, it's all haunted, So I guess we should be
on this list.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Yeah, and now that we start enumerating them, there actually
are a lot of places, so it's.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Not just the movie culture. Oh Mayview, that might be
one of my like lucky I didn't get an internship
that I really wanted. I wanted an internship for my
syche rotation at Mayview, and I got denied and I
got put in a different and psych rotation. And that's
one of those things that I was like, maybe that's better. Yeah,

(15:05):
maybe that worked out.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Like yeah, I'm glad the Browns didn't draft me.

Speaker 8 (15:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah, things, and they're like, why don't you work in
radio instead? You'll use that psych degree every day.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
I wonder if the old d V studios are going
to be haunted now that we're going I don't know
who'd haunt it us.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
I'd like everyone's alive. Still, that's the problem. Yeah, several people.
Jack mullo, Oh that is true. Well, but like Digby
and Jack molloy could be haunting the old studios.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
I just walk in the old studios and then I
just hear like Digby in the back going, can I
have a diet coke?

Speaker 3 (15:43):
He did free the weed one exactly.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
One of the honestly the scariest and spookiest scenes that
I ever had in that building was with Digby.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
He was pooping in the dark with the star completely open, absolutely.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
About it turned off on, the door open, completely wide.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Because the light probably went off on him while he
was pooping, and so I was like, never again, well
I can't get up and do anything about it yet.
Ever again, pooping in the dark doesn't poo Pooing in

(16:29):
the dark could have been Digby's memoir title.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Jack malloy. I do remember like being in the building
and very very I mean he was always there, very
very late. But there were some hours where I was
trying to like, uh, when I was learning the ropes,
I would go in super super late because I was
trying to like teach myself the board.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yes, And so he taught me the board.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
I think he really that's awesome. I was going in
in overnight hours just because I was doing night shifts,
but I was doing like, you know, pre midnight shifts.
But I would just go in and stay super super
late because I was trying to learn the board. When
I could screw it up, yeah, I would know I
was screwing it up.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Right, That's why you have to learn the board on
overnights here.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
And and I lived close enough that I was like
I can just stay late or whatever. And then he
would like open the door and like say like be
like who are you? And then and then just kind
of like put his cloak back over his mouth and
then just like walk backwards.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Like the first time I ever cracked the mic on
DV was during Jack Malloy's shift on the overnight.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Did it have reverb on it?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
And I didn't know. And he had these old like
World War two headphones that he wore like they were
like green and really hard shelled headphones, like kind of yeah,
like enormous, and he's like, I'm gonna go have a smoke.
Just let you take care of this next break, and
he walked outside and then I put on the headset

(17:54):
and when I cracked the mic, and I'm like one
o two, and the reverb he had in his head
was so massive, it like to keep back to buy.
I'm like, and I screwed up, you know, And I'm like,
why don't you u zero point five? And I'm like, oh,
I screwed up my very first break ever. And then
I was like, hey, I didn't know you had so
much reaver. He's like, yeah, like a little letmosphere on

(18:17):
the voice, you know, little effects his.

Speaker 9 (18:20):
Voice as iconic word winning orange juice, freshly squeezed orange juice.
He'd sense toast.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
He was too nice of a guy to haunt.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
If he was haunting anything, he'd be haunting the iHeart
executives who took all of the records out of that room.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
What was our other coworker, Mike.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Mike's CeAl. Mike was a good guy. He'd be a
happy ghost. He'd just be talking about the penguins.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, yeah, not every ghost like terrorizes people. You know.

Speaker 7 (18:53):
Some people were just sort of like trapped in a spot,
you know. Yeah, yeah, a still having to run the board.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Did you ever see the Others Nicole kiinmon No, yes,
a long time ago, a story about ghosts that are
not necessarily they're just stuck. They're just kind of stuck.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, what are they waiting on?

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Fiber?

Speaker 4 (19:13):
And then yeah to clear right out?

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah yeah cereal and that usually does it. Yeah, Colon blow,
Mike's got a full sports report for you when we
come back. The Steelers defense is more terrifying than any
of the movies or haunted places that we've been talking about.
And they get to face Indie with the Super Bowl

(19:36):
forty reunion happening, and uh, I don't know, is.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Will those guys like suit up and play?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Will Dick Lebo be there?

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Maybe he can throw on a headset.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
But I mean James Harrison started the towel twirl this
this past weekend on his podcast yesterday. I mean, I'm
guessing that he's really pissed off because is the.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Steelers suck, folks, the Steelers shuck?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah. He was basically saying something's got to change, someone's
gonna get fired, Someone's got to go, I think was
his quote. Michae will have the latest when we return.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Hey, it's ran.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
I just heard two of the funniest clips from Steelers
fans who are just losing it. One we can play
on the air, and one we can on I'll get
to the one that we can. But I think everybody's
kind of had enough, Mike. They've seen this fish before
and they don't want to see it again. I don't know,
we've seen this fish before.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
What this early?

Speaker 8 (21:33):
It smells like fish we've seen before. But you got
the quarterback finally, and everything else goes to hell?

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Boy has it? The defense is so bad now, granted
not everyone's gonna be Jordan Love and you'll be able
to get pressure on guys who are gonna get a
lot more flumexed, a lot quicker. You know, you got
guys like two out there going well, I'm not tall,
I kid's here over the line. You got guys like
Dylan Gabriel taking you know, safeties on intentional ground. There
are bad quarterbacks in Chicago. Yes, Caleb Williams who is

(22:04):
in panic mode and couldn't get his team in the
end zone from fourth or first in an inch, first
and goal at the end of the game. Todow for me,
it would have.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, but what does any of that matter?

Speaker 7 (22:15):
You know, like, you're not going to You're not trying
to win games against bad teams that aren't going to
be in the playoffs, right, that's what they're trying to
be playoff teams.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
That's where you get your excitement.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
That's my point. They're not going to get like completely
goose egg to the rest of the way. They'll get
a few more wins, but like this, they have zero
chance of contending.

Speaker 8 (22:33):
And the other thing is how many wins is it
going to take to win the AFC North.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Nine. This was Joe Hayden and James Harrison on their podcast.

Speaker 10 (22:45):
They're not playing at a high level. Do you know
what I'm saying? Like something they have to They have
to perform better. They have to How you don't get
up for Sunday night football if you can't get up
for nothing else.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Ain't nothing else on but you home.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
In front of your family, your kids.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
I would not make that name on.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Your back means something. Make the free stars on your
test me de debo.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
It wasn't me not performing. It wasn't me not performing.
I'm just trying to let you know.

Speaker 10 (23:15):
That's why I'm I'm like you said, I think I
could think I could be like your your counselor bro
because it's okay.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
It's all, it's all gonna be okay.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Everything is still okay. Joe, you came from a line
of losers.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Y'all will always be lose.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Damn. Now you've been disrespectful. Now you did disrespectful. I'm
trying to care.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
I'm trying to I'm trying to just.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Be here for you.

Speaker 10 (23:37):
Attack Nebo, I'm I feel you up here for you.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
I'm fruciated. The truth hurts.

Speaker 8 (23:47):
Wow, you come from a long line of losers. This
is either gonna get ugly entertaining, or both. I think
I think a little from call, a little from calling.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
I mean, you know what, you know what's funny is
that Joe Hayden was it was a good player here, right,
I mean we all thought he did a great job.
They stopped winning when he showed up. And I'm not
saying he mushed the entire franchise and brought all that
bad Browns mojo over here.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
But they don't want a playoff game since then.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Come on, Miracle, it's bad. Rip the tickets. It's over.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, maybe not, we've been mushed. Maybe not. I think
we'll be okay.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah, No, I thought the playoffs will be fine
and we'll get it off figured out. They're gonna they're
gonna fire to Austin. Uh after this week. Okay, they're
gonna be four and four. The new guy will teach
him how to play zone.

Speaker 11 (24:42):
The new guy is going to come in and he's
gonna be the new guy. I think he's gonna he's
gonna be is the same as the old guy. To
meet the new bus name as the old bus. I
think it's gonna be Dicklebo. I think when he comes back.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
They're gonna just somebody young and fresh.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Keep him here. Uh, this defense looks anything but young
and fresh. I would take dick Lebo's expertise on defense.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
There's no way that this team could understand dick Lebo's defense.
Dick Lebow ran one of the most complicated defenses ever.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
This one does not seem simple for these guys to follow.
I mean, but they can't play civil zone, so they're
struggling with See.

Speaker 8 (25:21):
I don't think they're playing simple zones. I think that's
part of the problem. And I think they're doing too
many guys too often. I think that's part of the problem.
They get what they're trying to do because they don't
trust the guys that they have. But I would at
this point, I would steer into more continuity communication.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yes, if it's going to.

Speaker 8 (25:39):
Be flawed, at least try to try to get beat
like Ramsey did against Seattle, right, not like they did
when they let Jamar Chase just run uncovered with.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
The game on the line as run free.

Speaker 8 (25:53):
Yeah, at least in the neighborhood you have a shot
to make a play or what's his name?

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Come down with the uh the hail Mary ball, not
Tucker Craft. The second one was the yeah Watson. They
were both pretty bad.

Speaker 7 (26:10):
Just bad angles, bad play. Now I'm with you, Mike, like,
do the my team is on the floor kind of thing.
Ride with some guys, give them a chance to to
sink or swim.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Well, my team is on the floor. Analogy is funny
because they only had ten people out there for the
two point conversion uh that the Packers had this weekend.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
So their whole team was not.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Remember when that guy was wide open and he just
caught the ball was supposed to cover was on the sidelines.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
Give them a little space. I don't want to get
one of those pesky flags.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Uh. Colts covering to town. That'll be easy. It'll be fine.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
This team in the league leading in every offensive category.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
And you know what, they're due for a letdown. So
I like our chances. Well, the NFL start grasping at
that straw. Daniel Jones might see TJ. Watt and start
having like pegs, Do you think the Colt's gonna go
fifteen to two?

Speaker 8 (27:07):
I do not, So they got to lose sometimes, That's
what I'm saying. Why not a road, non division game.
They're probably watching a tape thinking we got this.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Super Bowl forty defense will be there. That Harrison Cliff
was hilarious.

Speaker 12 (27:25):
Man, you come from a long lot of losers, Like
he's so pissed about the Steelers, he insulting. Well, there's
other clips from that podcast where Debo you can't we
can't air them.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
He is apoplectic. But I think these guys always are.
They've been there, They've been watching no playoffs for eight years.

Speaker 8 (27:47):
Like I'm sure you've had some conversations I have. Yeah,
I mean guys that you run into I definitely have,
And yeah they're not happy, but.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
They haven't been happy for a long time. You know
what I mean. This is not new because look, some
of them weren't happy on their way out. It was
happening that long ago where the culture change was sort
of occurring, and they saw the chinks in the arm
or kinks in the armor or whatever is in the armor.

(28:16):
I think they saw the thread start to unravel. I
think was driving people crazy. Is nobody's offended by that?
For a while, it looked like.

Speaker 8 (28:24):
They were some reason everything they could out of the
teams they had because quarterback was a problem. And then
it seemed like this year they went out of their
way to fix quarterback and to rebuild the defense, particularly
the secondary, particularly to play the Cincinnati Bengals, and you
see what happens first time out of the shoots. My god,

(28:44):
you spent all off season building this for that.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
But I think what Randy's saying is that it goes
way way back, like Ben was still here, that the
Steelers were still.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Winning playoff games.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
I remember at the end of Keezel's career him talking
and hinting in every interview that he did about the
preparation and the lack of focus during the week.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
The locker room was an issue back then. That was
you know, it wasn't a cancer. Then you know it
was a poll up.

Speaker 8 (29:13):
Yeah, so I'm not getting at the locker room's the issue. Now,
it's the playing that's the issue.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yeah, when they leave the locker room is really the issue.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Yeah, I could just stay in there.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Well, we got some penguin stuff to get to in
a couple of Steeler sound bites when we come back. Okay,
we'll get there in a second. So you'll to play
that other clip which one.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
No, I can't believe.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Come on, I mean, well, I'll have them bleep it out. Yeah,
because it's study well, because it's emblematic, I think. Yeah,
I mean, with all due respect, you know, all right,
more Steeler fan frustration when we come back, folks, I
forget that one tip that just makes everything easier. Well,

DVD has your no destruction rock and roll at ten
am and three pm. Michelle Michaels and Chad Dyson bring
you Workforce Commercial three hours every weekday on DVD.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Kenny Rossumer, what's going on that we didn't get to
there because we just got sidetracked, But that happens, We
did and we will. The World Series Game three last night.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Is you know, standing about five minutes ago.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Two fifty am. It ended, It went six hours and
thirty nine minutes, and it is being heralded as the
greatest World Series game ever played.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I mean, I'm gonna still go.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
With mas in Game seven and the impact of a
walk off Game seven home run.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
Ten to nine, a dramatic upset, you know, a Behemos
Juggernaut franchise against a bunch of nobody's. And it was
nine to seven, then it was nine to nine, it
was seven to four, then it was nine to seven,
then it was nine to nine, then it was ten
to nine. I think that game, that game in that

(31:46):
series have an argument for sure.

Speaker 7 (31:48):
Yeah, but certainly in our lifetimes this is up there,
but no doubt.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
I mean so Carter's you know, walk off home runs
in game seven are hard argue with.

Speaker 8 (31:58):
It was in game seven though, game right, yeah, Max,
is still the only Game seven.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
We'll walk off to win the World Series.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
Yeah, but Game seven you could also lose it.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
In that game which Ferdy Freeman gets his second World
Series walk off home run.

Speaker 8 (32:14):
Bottom of the eighteen sixty five Dodgers are up two
games to one. Show Hey o'tani went four for four
with two doubles, two homers, five walks. Now he gets
to pitch tonight nine times, gets to pitch tonight against
Shane Baber.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
That's going to go. I mean he has to be
dehydrated and exhausted, dude.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
He got in ivy last night. They were literally giving
him an ivy last night back.

Speaker 7 (32:36):
In the in the dunks. My god, they're all in
oxygen masks.

Speaker 8 (32:43):
Pretty special night for Sidney Crosby as well. He gets
three points in a six to three win over the
Blues and surpasses seventeen hundred career points, ninth player in
NHL history to get there, with seventeen oh one as
we speak, fourth fastest.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
To do it.

Speaker 8 (32:59):
And here's the really interesting thing about what's been going
on with the Penguins in the early going. I think
a lot of people, definitely from my perspective, I was
anticipating this season where the Big three would hit a
milestone every once in a while and everybody would go yay,
and they wouldn't be very good, and you know what,
would it really matter until it's time to put everybody

(33:19):
into the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
But they're doing stuff and they're winning games.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
Like Sidney Crosseley just went over seventeen hundred career points.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
He is.

Speaker 8 (33:31):
Tied for fourteen the NHL with seven goals. Crystal Tang
recently made it to six hundred career assists. He's plus
four on the season. Excuse me, he's plus seven on
the season. Af getting Malkin had two points last night.
He's tied for the NHL lead in scoring. Malcin is

(33:53):
plus six, Eric Carlson is plus seven. Like this stuff
is happening, and they're winning games while it's happening.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Here's uh head coach Damn Mues talking about that.

Speaker 13 (34:06):
You know, it's it's it seems like you got these
constant reminders, you know, and then you and I quickly
forget too about the age, and then you think about
the fact that they've been doing this for as long
as they have been and we got guys in the
team that weren't even born when they started this journey,
and uh, I mean it's remarkable, Like it's it's it's incredible,
and I think it's you know, I think it's pretty

(34:28):
cool for everybody involved there. You know, they were constantly
going to remind you because they're doing something something new
all the time or hitting a new milestone all the time,
and so yeah, I see it and it goes back.
I think it makes more sense to me probably when
you see the day to day. Don't you see the
way that these guys prepare and you know the way
these guys.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Compete and the way they you know, just push each
other every day.

Speaker 13 (34:50):
You know, it becomes pretty clear you know why it is.
You know that they are doing what they're doing.

Speaker 8 (34:56):
Now there's thing the coach would go to, the day
to day, the practice habits and the work ethic, all
of that, you know that leads to the milestones. But hey,
seven too and one, that's that's some pretty good stuff.
It depends in the early going. Here they're at Philly tonight.
They have recalled.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Maybe pat person should be patted on the back for
scaring everybody into winning some games, so eighty seven doesn't
get antsy kick starting a little uh comeback for the team.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
Owen Pickering recalled from HL Wolfsbury scrant and the Penguins
announced this morning. He played twenty five games with the
team last year. And to Dan Use's point, he is
twenty one years in two hundred and seventy four days old.
He was born January twenty seventh, two thousand and four. Wow,

(35:47):
Sid was already here then, right.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Yeah, it was like draft year.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Jim Use looks so much like Jeff Concole. Every time
I see him, I just think mister Wednesday Joe Block too.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Oh yeah, okay, he's got a couple of doppel gangers.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
We should get the three of them together. It's like
the rush More of games. Sid was not here yet.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
I take that back, but Frise, they got a.

Speaker 8 (36:11):
Lot of young guys that well some Anyway, the interesting
thing is they're playing good hockey, and they're playing good
hockey laden games, which is one of the reasons why
they're seven to and four. But they they scored two
goals in the first minute last night. Let that lead
get away, and then in the second and third period
they were the better team.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Do you want to play the Patrick Queen? Do we
want to hear from Patrick Queen? Yeah, let's do this.
This is from Jersey Jerry's Steal Here podcast. This is
what's what's his co host name? Kevin? Okay, this is
Jerry Kevin talking postgame.

Speaker 14 (36:56):
This is the worst secondary. This is this Actually, I'm
gonna re freeze it. This is the worst defense I
have seen as a Steelers fan. I think I'm using I'm.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Losing my mind, Jerry.

Speaker 15 (37:08):
I am I'm losing my mind because I am afraid
I think that this is who they are always going
to be as long as Mike Tomlin is the head coach,
because I just think that it's capped. I think we've
hit the ceiling of what the Pittsburgh Steelers can be
with Mike Tomlin as the head coach.

Speaker 14 (37:25):
Darius slay is and I want to say and listen,
with all due respect, he had a great career.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
He really did. Yeah, he did. He's dog.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I mean he is a dog.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Jerry, he's your friend, and he's TJ Watt.

Speaker 15 (37:44):
He's one of the most impactful players the Steelers have
ever had on the defensive side. I think it's totally
okay to say that at forty million dollars, he's getting
paid like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yeah, for forty.

Speaker 15 (37:58):
Million dollars, cannot go missing for long periods of time,
like DJ does.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Hard to argue with any of it, but Jerry's couching
that statement with all their respect. I want to be
careful with my words here, all due respect, dog boop.
It's a lot to fix and not much time to
do it.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Nope.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Thanks to Charlie Bansjeen's sterrator and Matt Jamison from the
Clear Thoughts Foundation, reminder the role for a reason. Gala

Speaker 8 (38:59):
Mike Well, I don't know if it's going to be interesting,
but what he does from here on out is certainly
going to be interesting.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Michelle's got the Electric Lunch coming up next. Have a
great day, everybody. I'm finished. You stay classy Pittsburgh. Don't

Speaker 1 (39:27):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Kelly Anta Pizza and Draft Out, three
time World Pizza champions, and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it
direct from the team at Shop dot Steelers dot com.
Here's Tom Opferman.

Speaker 16 (39:41):
Steelers added to their wide receiver room yesterday evening as
the team signed wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scantling to a deal.
Vadas Scalling was currently a free agent after playing five
games with the forty nine ers before the team released
him a couple weeks ago. Dadas Scalling is an eight
year VET who has one hundred and eleven games under
his belt. His NFL career has two hundred and nine catches,
three thousand, six hundred and six career yards, and twenty
touchdown receptions.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
He is also the active career leader in yards per.

Speaker 16 (40:04):
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 of Vadiz 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 find
a fit in that receiver room for Valdez Scantling, a

(40:26):
room that just saw second year man Roman Wilson have
his best and most active game of his career. Mike
Tomlin holds his weekly press conference today at noon and
will shed more light on the acquisition of Valdez Scantling
as well as the state of the rest of the team.
I'm Tom Aferman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
The Black and Gold faith will always travel well to
see the team on the road.
