Speaker 1 (00:03):
It just seems you can easily sort of explain it
away by like it's intelligence operations by other countries.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, those are the identified flying objects.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, as opposed to something that traveled light years just
to poke a guy in the RICTUS.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
You know, like, I don't see that being it is.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
That the only story he usually is.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
They're always pro Why are aliens so gay?

Speaker 4 (00:33):
This is what they do, That's.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Why they don't here just to get that et finger
some work.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
That's what the et finger was.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yes, the world's most gifted proctologists.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Brandy Bellman and the DV morning shows.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It might be like the interplanetary Provincetown for them, you
know what I mean. Like they can leave their straight
alien lives and come hear and it's super gay, and
they go home and their white We're like, where are
you doing?

Speaker 4 (01:00):
They're like nothing, and they're like.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
We're talking about They're like living on the down low intergalactically.
Let me see your finger. So it's like, why do
you have so much puerile in the spaceship. No reason,
It's all single cell organisms down there.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Honey. I don't know what to tell you, mister Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Jef concle hanging out with us year and we were
talking off air about a lot of offensive Halloween costumes
through the years. And that is the most single avoidable
thing abby that anybody can do, is stay away from
a controversial Halloween costume because in the day of social media,

(01:45):
it's not just this Halloween, it's forever.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
It's forever.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
And listen, everybody has a chance to step in it
this week because Halloween's on a Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah, and your office.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Probably wants to do some cue and say that everybody
gets to dress up for Halloween because we're all going
back to the office now. So keep this in mind
as you're going to the office on Halloween that if
you are planning to wear a costume to work, a
couple guide rails one you could talk to your manager

(02:22):
or even hr first.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
If this is your.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
First Halloween at your job, you don't want to be
the one person who didn't get the memo one about
not dressing up, like you don't want to not be fun.
But if you have questions about your costume, you could ask.

Speaker 7 (02:39):
I almost feel like if you if you're if you're
on the fence, like you probably.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Shouldn't shouldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, uh, because you want to know if you can
dress up like a minion?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Right, No one has questions unless there is a guy
in your office that looks a lot like a minion.
Is Carl gonna think I'm making fun of him? Well,
and he's jaundiced and the cyclops? Yeah, so that's not cool.
Very specific, but I mean if people are fighting about
it on social media, I would stay away from characters

(03:14):
in that topic. It's an easy way to at least
have a sort of baseline.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, what are those characters this year? Like what are
we to stay away from?

Speaker 4 (03:24):
I think very obvious one.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
And his name is on Starbucks cups but recently stay
away from that.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Also, make sure your costume doesn't interfere with your job,
Like if you.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Can't sit down or walk, that's not gonna work for
I gotta tell you. That's just sort of a general See.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
I don't know, like anyone who's like a Transformer or
something that's like, you know, huge and boxy or something
like that and is an inconvenience to be around in
a crowded party that there's a sliding scale. The costume
better be insane to put up with you knocking like
a stemware off of the island countertops of the people

(04:10):
that you're visiting.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
You know. So, so if it's.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
It's fine, if it's elaborate, but you gotta make sure
it it exceeds everybody's expectations.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
If you're going to be an inconvenience, yes, so bring
a change of clothes.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
There's also another good rule of thumb in case it sucks.
And the other thing is check your calendar, because if
you have a zoom or really important commitment that.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Is all calling on that Friday, I want.

Speaker 7 (04:37):
To I have a story. Okay, he clapped like a yes.
So I one time got fired over zoom. This is
this is fairly recently from a company that I was
I was working with and I've been with it. It
sort of came out of the blue. I got I
was it was Friday of Halloween. I got an email

(04:58):
from the general manager at eleven o'clock and said meeting
at twelve o'clock.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
And I was like, that's not good.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
I was like, there's never there's never an urgent, vague
meeting that takes place in an hour.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
That's good.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
So I'm sort of preparing myself. So anyway, guy goes on.
He proceeds to let me know that they're you know,
moving a different direction or anything like that, and it
was shocking. So I was already like a little like, no,
no fore warning or anything like that. So I was
a little mad about the whole thing. And on the
zoom call he it's it's head up only, and I
see he's got these suspenders on, and it comes to

(05:34):
my realization that he has just fired me wearing German
later hosen and I and now I'm like, did you
just can me after eight years of service?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
During what a Halloween party?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
He goes, yeah, it's our it's our corporate Halloween party.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
And so it was one of those I had, like
you asked him about.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I had two choices to say, so, either he didn't
work for like hofbrow House certain no, no, no, this
is this is this said nothing to do with the
brand identity of the company.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
So I had two choices. Has your have your kids
ever made you so mad? But they made you laugh,
like at the same thing. But you're like, I got
to stay in the pocket, like I'm supposed to be
mad right now, But I really that was what I
was like I was.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
I was.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
It was so ridiculous that I was so close to laughing,
but I.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
Was like, I can't let this guy know that I
think this is funny, so I gotta stay angry in
the stay in the pocket.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
But yeah, from the European vacation, just fire.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
It was so I tell the story now, it was funny,
abou at the time, I was like kind of mad about.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
That's absolutely hilarious.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I'm just thinking of costumes that would be completely like
the worst costume to get fired by somebody, like wearing
a Humpty Dumpty costume or something like that.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
You know, just Bill Lamberg from Office Space.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'm gonna need you to go ahead and not come in.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah again, but he's like dressed like the Joker, and yeah,
anything with make up with anyway, executioner might be a
little too on the thing.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
We're going through corporate layoffs.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
You log into the zoom, it's just fog not good,
not good, not good.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
The term for being fired over zoom. I'm surprised we
haven't come up with thatired sired Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
No, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
I didn't The phone call would have been fine, didn't
need didn't need the face to face interaction on that one.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
That's like, that's like a client cutting ties with you,
not so much like you got fired from your job.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Oh yeah, which yes essentially yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Did you think about dressing up for the zoom?

Speaker 7 (07:42):
No, But in retrospect, I probably should have, because when
you get that, there's no When you're in a in
a situation where you're either getting acts, as a client, fired, whatever,
there's no coming back.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
No one has ever successfully.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
When the decision is made to fire, you'd be like, well,
are you sure about that?

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Because I can do this, this and this.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
No says ah, you know what, forget it, like it's
happening no matter what. So if you get that eleven
o'clock email for a twelve o'clock meeting or you know whatever,
or four o'clock on a Friday, you might as well
go all in because you're not reversing it.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
There's nothing that's going.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
To happen that happen that you're going to do to
salvage this, so you might as well have fun with it.
I guess the only thing that would be worse than
a costume is if one of those filters was on
the zoom where their eyes were really big or something
like that, and maybe.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
That or it's like transforming him into a kiddie cap.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah, I feel like I.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Can't believe this. The dog tongue comes.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Out, he's kicking a rainbow. Did that happen in a
court case? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Someone couldn't get their filter off a judge, wasn't it. No,
it was a lawyer, and the judge's mad about it.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, my kids did. I don't know what your honor off?
All right?

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Just about every year on local news channels, in reddits
am I the a whole forum next door threads and
lots of queries, people are seeking advice from etiquette columnists
asking is it rude to neighborhood hop on Halloween.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
As a kid?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Like Yeah, to like go to a more affluent neighborhood
with the hopes of getting a hit more significant hall.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Here's where it's rude.

Speaker 7 (09:16):
If you have an existing group that's sort of locked
in the Halloween.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
If you just leave the group behind, Yeah, then it's rude.

Speaker 7 (09:24):
It's not rue if you have no existing allegiances to
anything like that, Like we have a neighborhood squad that
we kind of roll around with. If we were to
leave and go to the neighborhood that has full sized
snicker bars at every single house, then that would be mutinous.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
But don't people.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Will go to like Region Square because it's so awesomelleen.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean, I have you know, when we first moved
out to the South Hills, I used to go to
Region Square all the time, just because it's all flat,
it's a tight little grid and and the kids just
love it.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Every How do you go all out?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Everybody in Region Square goes all out for Halloween?

Speaker 7 (10:03):
But did you have existing ties to your neighborhood at
that point while you were.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
While you were, no other than my brother and my
sister in law lived in the house we grew up
in that time, their kids, and so yeah, I had
I had a reason to go over there. Now I
walk around the neighborhood with my sister and her kids
because my kids don't want anything to do with me
on Halloween.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
But I love that. But I always thought, like, no,
you can't come into that.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Like when I was a kid, I was like, I
don't want you in my neighborhood if you're not from
my neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Get the hell out of yeah right right do you?

Speaker 3 (10:33):
But the walls have come down since we grew up,
you know, the walls of Jericho have come cromb plus neighborhoods.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
I think everybody got a little jealousy because back in
the day, like you someone dropped the full sized milky
Way in your bag, you were like, this neighborhood is
coming up right now, And now everyone like very rarely
do you do you have like somebody just giving out
like single Jolly Ranchers or anything like that, Like they
all step their game up. My kids come home with

(11:01):
more candy than they could eat in maybe ten years,
and then just sits in the kitchen drawer and we
graze on that throughout the year as a family and.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Try to whittle it down.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I was just gonna see Sean Collier knows a couple
of like out of work actors that want to come
and give out candy like at the end of my driveway,
like whilst performing like in costume and like Macbeth. Yeah,
well like something scary, like you know, yeah, they're just
constantly like on the verge of murdering each other, and
they're like.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
Hold on snickers. A fencing team yeah, I'm out eleven
and fencing.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
There you go, not idea.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
It's like giving way to clouds today. Rain this afternoon
in a high of fifty.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Mister Wednesday, Jeff Conkle with us this morning. So no
gig's coming up or you have.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
No I got tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (11:46):
I believe Joe Bartneck's getting a little group of people
together go down to the Improv. So we're gonna be
at the Improv tomorrow and then on in November at
Lowlev Beer. I can keep pushing this because I'm I'm
trying to get it to be a.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Pretty good show.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
A low Leve Beer down in like deep into Lawrenceville
almost to the Highland Park Bridge.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
But it's cool place.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
Saturday November fifteenth, I'll be I'll be at hell Love
Beer too.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Who's with you on that?

Speaker 7 (12:10):
I think I'm just the marquee attraction there, which is.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
A pace there. So yeah, yeah, well you don't have
other comics. I don't know if I have an act.
I haven't named the support. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
I'm just showing up to this. Somebody booked me for it, man,
someone else will be there. You're considering it? Is there
a short list names? I don't know who might be there.
If I've taught to you guys anything, it's that I
can't manage my comedy career pretty much at all. So
you guys have surely come then figured that out at
this point on the.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Way for you, Mark Madden at eight forty five, we'll
rate our algorithms. The Steelers make some moves or one
significant one yesterday bringing in the safety from the Patriots.
Kyle Dugger is now a Pittsburgh Steeler and he'll join
his former teammateer but Pepper's in the secondary and they're
getting ready for the Colts. This is gonna be a
brutal weekend at one o'clock game for the Steelers, so

(13:00):
it's gonna be a tough one, no doubt about it.
Nine A and the pregame starts here on DVE with
Tom Offerman and Matt Williamson, and then Pursueder cranks up
the network with Labs in du Lac at eleven o'clock
before that one o'clock kickoff with Rob King, Max Stark's
Missy Matthews Steelers Colts. They're back at it Sunday here
on DVE.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
Chad Tyson on DVE is shifting gears all afternoon. First,
there's a Workforce commercial free set at three. Then there's
sports updates at top speed. There's a reloaded cut from
the DVE Morning Show in the afternoons in a car
with Tyson on DV.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service.
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service techs. Contact Bridgeville
Appliance to but Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 8 (13:50):
Kim Hayward didn't think the Steelers responded the way they
should have or needed to throughout what became a Sunday
night collapse at Accrossure against the Packers. Mike tom On,
as it turned out, didn't either.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
I certainly agree with that.

Speaker 9 (14:04):
As I mentioned, I don't think I like how we
responded to the explosion plays, fil flipping plays, drive producing
conversion third downs that happened in the third quarter. I
didn't think our offense responded very well to the non
call on the first third down of the half. And
you know, you don't always have control over what happens
to your endgame. Rest assured some things are going to happen.

(14:27):
There's an ebb and flow of the course of sixty minutes.
But in that instance, as a collective, we feel like
we didn't respond any the appropriate or the desired way.
We didn't smile in the face of it. We didn't
produce the type of plays that counteract those things and
get the balance back in our favor.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
And so we're.

Speaker 9 (14:46):
Certainly being critical of ourselves, and we're utilizing that as
fuel as we prepare for our next opportunity.

Speaker 8 (14:53):
Tomlin his complaint with the response, as he explained, it
had more to do with playmaking than effort. It wasn't
so much the lack of effort as he perceived it.
It was that they just never made a play that
you know, turned the tide, didn't execute in any phase,
which is.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Worse because if they were trying, they just can't do it.

Speaker 8 (15:17):
And I'm thinking also maybe when he was reviewing the tape,
there might have been a glitch on that Darius Slay
complete lack of effort play on the.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Save Williams touchdown. Yeah, that was that he didn't see it.

Speaker 8 (15:30):
Maybe it was got that little circle thing and it
just spun around and then when it came back it
was passed that time.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I mean, he's not gonna he's not gonna hang those
guys out to dry in a press conference. We already
know that, right, So people get pissed when he doesn't
do that.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
If he did that, it would be disastrous.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
And he's and he's reprimanded people behind the scenes before,
like the one year with Pickens, he was finding him
and the team was finding Pickens a lot, and he
was defending him in these press conferences saying, hey, he's
got to grow up, he's got to grow up quick,
and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
And I think that's probably.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Good leadership, I agree, But the main problem behind that
is the talent assessment and procuring players in the first
place is what's really lacking.

Speaker 8 (16:14):
It seems to be the further we get into this,
the more wrong some of these evaluations seem to have been.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
They're buying bad groceries.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Man.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
Good news is now that they've identified the problem, they
can start taking some eventual steps to solve it.

Speaker 9 (16:33):
The first component of fixing it is acknowledging it. You
really don't get an opportunity to fix it until you
face those circumstances again. And so we spend some time
acknowledging it. We're going to get back to work We
certainly believe that we work in the right spirit, we
do the right things environmentally, We're going to get back
to work man and wait for our opportunity to rectify it.

(16:56):
You can spend a lot of time talking about your ills,
but the true fixes coming stadiums, and so that's why
sometimes I'm somewhat hesitant to respond to the how do
you fix it question. There's certainly procedurally things that you
go about doing that fixes it, but the fix happens
in stadium and the rest of it is just talk.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
He's read about that.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I'm happy they've acknowledged it, but I'm curious is what
that looks like like negative affirmations.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
We can't tackle anybody, we can't cover a tight end.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Welcome to acknowledging how bad we are.

Speaker 8 (17:31):
Help on the way in the form of Kyle Dugger,
former second round safety of the Patriots. The Steelers reportedly
get Dugger and a seventh round pick from New England
for a sixth round pick, and the Patriots are picking
up a bunch.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Of the salary.

Speaker 8 (17:47):
He's played a lot of football for New England, not
so much this season, coming off an ankle injury last year.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Kyle Dugger. They signed him last year to that big country. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I don't understand how that just goes away. So they
paid two years ago? Was it two years ago? Okay?
Vrabel new regime. Maybe he doesn't like it.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Well that I get.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
It's just that I didn't understand how the remaining years
on that contract just dissolve at the end of this.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
I guess it's a mutual deal.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
I mean he can agree to uh to avoid it, Okay,
because he'll be a free agent again after.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
This year, and he won't want someone to have to
try to match that contract in order to play.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Yeah, or maybe he thinks he can get another big one.

Speaker 8 (18:30):
Yeah, we'll see to Deshaun Elliott, according to Ian Rappaport
is going to go on the injured reserve list, so
Dugger or Jabrill Peppers would presumably be the replacement there,
and then we'll see what we see a free safety. Lately,
it's been one Thornhill and Chuck Clark kind of split through.

(18:50):
One of the Browns fans called him jog Thornhill.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Yeah, he had a bad lack of effort play that
made the rounds on.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Tape Gendary tape.

Speaker 8 (19:01):
Also, according to Tom Pelasaro. The Steelers are going to
add former Commander safety Derek Forrest to their practice squad.
He's played forty career games, seventeen starts.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
We'll see if and when he gets into the mix. Crazy.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
I already had Robert Woods, why not get Forest?

Speaker 3 (19:21):
I mean, if is Barkivius Mingo still in the league.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
The on Branch barkis is into Brickish are my two
favorite NFL names of all time.

Speaker 8 (19:31):
I'd go pick up theon Branch and Detroit drive you
back here right. Crazy game in Philly last night between
the Pens and the Flyers. It ended three to two
Philly in a shootout. It included each team having a
goal wiped off in overtime. The Penguins, because of getting
Malkin on a delay pedalty, hit the ice too soon
before the goaltender are tours See Lovs got to the bench,

(19:55):
so malkins gold didn't count. The Flyers had one wiped
off for offside, and then at the end of the
five minute overtime a frankas ensued. Each team got four
to ten minute misconducts for the trouble, including Sydney Crossby
because of the misconduct was not available for the shootout
because he had misconducted. Penn Flyers turned the clock back. Ye,

(20:19):
Penguins still get a point. They're seven two and two.
Crosbies eighth of the year, tied the game at two
to two with about eight minutes left, and the Penguins
have not lost a game in regulation since October the
fourteenth and five.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh and two. Since nothing.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I didn't watch any of that game last night, and
I understand they did not play their best hockey and
still ended up getting a point.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Out of that.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
Yeah, So I just saw the highlights of the the
three on three brawl that guys came off the bench,
including sid uh. It's good old fashioned Pens Flyers stuff.
World Series game.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
A little bit of that, just to remind everybody right.

Speaker 8 (20:56):
Absolutely a minute, and that's that's a sign of compete level.
I mean, you can't do that every game, but every
once in a while, you gotta you gotta do what
you gotta do. Especially in October. Hockey kind of sets
a tone, don't you think. I do think Game four
of the World Series, the Jays bounced back and tie
things up at two games apiece, beating the Dodger six

(21:19):
to two.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Show hey, O'tani.

Speaker 8 (21:21):
Six innings on the mound, six hits, four runs, all
of them earned, one walk and six strikeouts. Vlat Guerrero
Junior took him out to run shot in the third inning,
and Otani was zero for three at the plate, one
walk and two strikeouts.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
I mean, well, the other thing is in between innings,
he's on base when he's pitching, you know, and it's
well last night, the night before, he was on the
he got he got walked, he was on base, and
then I.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Did get one walk. He walked to start the game
one walk.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
But you know, the fatigue factor there, I get it.
I was just hoping it was going to be some
supernatural athletic event that we were gonna witness, that that
guy was going to come from the greatest game ever
as a hitter and then end up giving you a
Kofaxian World Series performance.

Speaker 8 (22:12):
I may think it's slaughtered or anything, but no, but
it was rarely. Took him out then, and I think
in the last inning he sort of hit the wall.
Gam Game Peb was five and a third of exactly
what the Blue Jays needed.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Game five is tonight Trey you Savage for Toronto and
Blake Snell for the Dodgers. So I'm gonna guess Snell's
going to pitch six innings, dominate, and then get yanked
after seventy ten pitches.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
History would suggest Abby's heart your news coming up at
the top of the hour.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
If you're Pittsburgh Steelers, then check out the latest podcast.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
From Steelers Nation Radio, The DV Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Randy Bauman, Bill Crawford, Addy Chrisner, Mike Pursuita. Jacob Brett
is our producer and once a week we like to
reveal what it is that is festering in our algorithms
because it's all different. The monoculture is gone, and we're
all seeing different things. So it's time to turn each
other on to our respective algorithms.

Speaker 10 (24:44):
We're we're writing, We're ready, all right, let's start with
Mike pursuita what's falling into your algorithm this week?

Speaker 8 (25:01):
One of the all timers, Randall, you know how much
we love the Steelers of the seventies around these parts
and revisiting that, particularly when things are the way they
are in the current day and age. But one of
the great Jack Lambert soundbites of all time. This dates
back to October twenty third, nineteen seventy eight. It's a

(25:22):
Monday night game, the Oilers against the Steelers at three
River Stadium, and the AVC crew, Howard Cosell and Frank
Gifford and the boys, they wanted to get some opinions
on whether or not quarterbacks needed to be protected in
the NFL because it was getting violent out there, and
they asked first Terry Bradshaw and then Jack Lambert if

(25:44):
something needed to be done to protect those poor qbs.

Speaker 11 (25:48):
Well, I'm one of the few that has spoken out
that I've seen enough rule changes in my nine years
in NFL for quarterbacks. It's something that I believe very
firm and strongly bar that quarterbacks and athlete's part of
a football team. It's an aggressive, sometimes vicious game and
you have to be prepared mentally and physically to accept that.

(26:09):
I know that if older you get, the better in shape,
I think you should stay. And I know coach Madden
at Oakland has said there should be more done, but
I just feel enough's been said, enough's been written and
about the violence, especially against quarterbacks, and.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
They are just let it lie and lets play football.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Do you think there should be any rules changes for
the safety of the quarterback?

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Well, it might be a good idea to put dresses
on all of them. That might help a little bit.

Speaker 11 (26:36):
Well, I got called last week for a late on
Brian Sipe, and you know, in my opinion, it wasn't
a late hit.

Speaker 8 (26:45):
You know, back when I was in junior high and
high school, I was thought Brian's Sipe would have looked.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Pretty good to dress the cardiac kids.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
It's incredible when you think about how violent they were
allowed to be at that time, and they thought that
they were.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
It should be in dresses.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Well what did Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I mean, but they could dump those guys on their neck.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yesterday was the anniversary of that Steelers Cowboys game. Is
the last time that Roger Staubach ever played against the Steelers.
I quote tweeted it, and I think steel City Star
was the account.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Elsie Greenwood hits Stawbach.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
So hard his head looks like it goes into his
shoulder pads and he just drops dead to the turf,
just lifeless bam on the ground, and then you know
they're all struggling for the ball.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
After that, it was just stepping on them and that
was it.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
He had to be outed off the field and I
don't think he played for a couple of weeks after that.

Speaker 8 (27:40):
Some of the stuff built referenced a minute ago to
Joe Turkey Jones turning Brad upside down and spiking his
head into the Cleveland Stadium turf with the steel curtain
used to do to Dan Pastorini and the Oilers.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Yes, oh my god, that stuff was so much fun
to watch.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Right, But these guys are even bigger monsters now. I mean,
if you let Aaron Donald, Miles Garrett and company people
like that just do whatever they want to these quarterbacks,
you'd be like, oh, we got a premier matchup this weekend,
Andy Dalton versus you know, Case Keenum. You'd have no
starting quarterbacks. Abby, What was in your algorithm?

Speaker 4 (28:20):
You know a.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
Classic that we always like to lean on is like
a fart in church. You know, we have those moments
where a fart can break the tension. Oh yeah, And
also because in our industry, we've known to have some
like ghosts in the machine, and so if anybody ever
does like any kind of podcasting or anything like that,
you have like a lot of preloaded sounds. But when

(28:42):
you're running like maybe a high school play and in
a really poignant moment, there's some preloaded sounds like why
is that even on the soundboard.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
The best part is the plane never recovers.

Speaker 12 (29:15):
They're just losing it that all the actors are just
crying because I can't.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
That girl's probably so pissed.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
Solo, she's like, God, bless my bill.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
What do you have in yours this week?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
So I guess we talked about this earlier in the
week and it found its way into my algorithm. We're
talking about Ursa's daughter being on the sideline with her headset,
and since the Colts are coming into town this week,
I thought this would be a good thing to use
for the algo listen to what she says she's learned
about the game by being on the headset.

Speaker 12 (29:59):
I need to learn more about this. I need to
be able to say, is this person full of bs?
Do they even know what they're talking about? And I
think one of the things that being on the headset
has really helped me learn is to the question earlier.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
There is such a.

Speaker 12 (30:16):
Complex organism a football team and how it operates and
on game day and you could say, oh, that person
ran that route wrong. When you learn to find someone
tagged the wrong wide receiver and it wasn't really the
player's vault, it was the person that called it so
and it's never I think that's been a very valuable

(30:38):
because it also helps us be able to know where
do we need to make tweaks, what resources do we
need are, what do we need to fix? So much
of it comes down to just how we operate and
how things work, and the headsets are really I wish more.
I would suggest it for anyone else that has to
pay coaches and gms millions and millions of time. It

(31:01):
helps you make a less expensive mistake potentially.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
I actually think this is brilliant and I again think
it's a copy get league, and I think Arch should
start doing it.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
I think every female Rooney should be on the on
those head seats.

Speaker 8 (31:13):
Apparently she's been doing this for a little while now,
and everybody just noticed it this year. Well yeah, I
mean it wasn't a this year thing. A lot more
focused on her since her dad passed.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
But it does make sense, like you're you're locating the issue.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Is it a coordinator, is it a coach? Is it
the GM? Is it one of these players?

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Well there's yeah, because they're revealing a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
It's like a live action audit basically just just listening to.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
The interaction and how they do what they do. Did
they function or is it this?

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Is it a mess? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah? Is somebody not a good communicator on the set?

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Will she be on the sidelines? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Sunday, Oh yeah, we got to mess with that radio transfer,
Like we gotta do a little Belichickian thing in there
in there, Yeah, exactly, that'd be tremendous something like that.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Have Steely just intercept it oh god, Oh my god, Carly,
I am such a big fan.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
It starts chiming in on the headset. How the hell
did Steely get in?

Speaker 8 (32:13):
We're gonna play rotigates, So, long time listener, first time interrupter,
All right in my algorithm this week.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
You know, in nineteen eighty five, the Chicago Bears changed
the NFL forever, and mostly because they were the most
dominating defense that the league had ever seen, and they
had character after character, and it was like a team
of celebrities, and so they put out they were so
cocky they put out the super Bowl Shuffle. Now, the
super Bowl Shuffle was an actual radio hit. Oh yeah,

(32:46):
it was everywhere you heard was a super Bowl Shuffle
in nineteen eighty five, and so a.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Little premature, but still, I mean, that's how cocky they were.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
They did it.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
They're like, nobody's gonna beat us.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
We can put out our super Bowl Shuffle now, although
I think they lost the game after it came out
to like the Dolphins or something like that.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Yeah, and then they rolled the rest of the way.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
But it again, it's always been a copycat league, and
other teams started doing it, but not every team had
the same personalities that made it the Super Bowl Shuffle fun.
There's another like refrigerator Perry or Walter Payton or Jim
McMahon on every team, And in nineteen eighty six the
Rams did one. Now, a bunch of teams did them,

(33:31):
to be fair, but this one is particularly bad. The
nineteen eighty six Rams had their star was of course
Eric Dickerson. Okay, at quarterback, they had Jim Everett and
Steve Bartkowski was backing him up. Just to give you
an idea how long ago this was Mike and Kevin
Green was their defensive star. And they had a song

(33:54):
that wasn't quite as catchy as the Super Bowl Shuffle,
and maybe in retrospect should have had a different name.
This was the nineteen eighty six Los Angeles Rams singing,
let's ram it.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Nobody get a rabbit to.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
See if your rama's right. You can ram it all night.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
No rabbit.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Uh, that's so good. That's lamming right now? What is
winning Hollywood Dot City? If you throw it that way,
it's gonna be right.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I like your remit because you can see nobody like
Randon anybody.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Rabbit.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
You don't even what in my movies it like Drew.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
They call me the dun Special to see I know
how to rush from the toes of the heads. When
I pulled the trip knock, you did no, I mean no,
the rock in La ran it for that and Magic

(35:07):
Johnson's like I am. You know.

Speaker 8 (35:09):
The Steelers planned one of those before the Chargers.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Game, No, and it came out before the game. The
song came out before.

Speaker 8 (35:21):
No, it's just that they were planning on their super
Bowl video before. What was that called? Oh, there were
no details, but it was I think Ed Bouchette had
the story. Uh oh dude, we got to find out.
They want to hear about what they were going to
do for their Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Okay, so they didn't get into the studio and never
got cut that track because Natron means business.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
They didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
I wonder who a who wrote it or was going
to write it and be what that was going to
be called, because that is absolutely hilarious. I just can't
imagine the Steelers ever doing that. Also, it's the like
the meter of those raps are all so funny to me.
That one was actually then mostly yea U b ba

(36:07):
ba ba ba rabbit. They're like, we have to make
it simple enough that a white tackle can do this
for us, so that.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Our guard can do a verse. No chance, No, not
at all.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Neil O'Donnell, fire Marshall, Bill leading the charge.

Speaker 8 (36:31):
Rabbit a rabbit to see if your right you can
ram it? All right, all right, I've never heard of that,
never heard that Rammitt. I didn't know it existed. I
didn't know it.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
It's awesome, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Did they rammit that year?

Speaker 4 (36:45):
No?

Speaker 1 (36:45):
No, no, no they did not. Nineteen eighty six who
was like the Giants? Was the Patriots? Oh no, no, no,
that's that's eighty six was technically the bay was eighty
five team? Uh it was the Giants. Yes, that was
the Phil Simms Super Bowl over the Was it the

(37:07):
night oh the Broncos? Yeah, just yeah. It was like
ten nothing to forty two to ten? Or was that
that was the Washington Redskins. Denford Sims didn't miss in
that game. He was like twenty thirty nine to twenty.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
It was like twenty one to twenty three. Something ridiculous
for at the time, that was that was insane.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Thirty remained that for a long long time.

Speaker 8 (37:28):
Back then you couldn't imagine a guy completing twenty passes
in a row. No, you just couldn't wrap your head
around that would even be a thing. Ever, That's like, hey,
last Sun.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Just just signed Joe Flacco and you should have no problem.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
All right, Well that's our algorithms. You did Flacco have
in a row on US twenty flack? No, Jordan Love
had twenty, but.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, twenty completions.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
Flacco had a pretty good run there for a while too.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, sixteen completed well through to him twenty three times.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
We got Kyle Duggar. Everything's gonna be fine now, Abby's
got your news when we came back.
