Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is WTVEE, Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I remember at some point, like I even knew, uh
some point in my like pregnancy too, I knew I
had to stop going to concerts. And it wasn't because
I didn't think I could handle going to a concert.
It was that I recognized my pregnancy was a burden
to everyone else going to the concert. Is that I

(00:43):
had to make them concerned with my well being by
being there.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
See what you're doing there is being a member of society.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
We used to be a society.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
To be a.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Society, yes, but because that would be first of all,
i'd be nervous about people bumping into you because the
rock at a concert. Unless there is like a way
to do like a pregnant woman only section, there's not.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Ken Bone is the usher right here.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
You're putting those ladies at risk, human submarines, make off.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Shoes, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
So there's no transition out of ken Bone. That's to
transition out of that one. No, like without being weird,
I don't mean even in like a sexual way. Why
to me pregnant women are the most beautiful women. I mean,

(01:42):
like it's incredible with their hair and skin. It's every good.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's just like, oh my God.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Like like God's wonder all encompass in this human submarine.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Dude the way like because it's sell replication, not to
take the magic out of it, but man, my hair,
my nails, my skin, my boot.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Everything was on lock.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
It was so great and it was so nice too
because again my neck listen, it was all hitt and
I loved it so much.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
But it was also like the first time in my life.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
As much as like women in so many phases of
their life, even when you're a teenager, like you never
appreciate what your body looks like.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
Even when you're hot, you never appreciate.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
It right you're uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
But when I was pregnant and like that belly was
all the way out like Turkey's done, belly buttons popping out,
I never wanted to go to the beach more.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Yeah, I was so like.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
This is awesome, this is awesome.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
I am ready to put on a bikini and be
like taking it.

Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I felt so good that way. And it's a fair
trade off given that you physically feel like ass for
so much of the time, and you're actually wrecking your
body right now.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
That being said, six months after the baby, my hair
fell out.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
I looked like Fortu and you never get it back.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well, yeah, who is it, Jennifer Hudson. You know she
gave that recent interview.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Not Hudson, that's from Jennifer Lawrence.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yes, Jennifer Lawrence gave an interview with The New Yorker
his kids just two, which I was news to me too. Yeah,
she had kids, and she said she's getting a boob
job now because the second kid took her boobs. She's like,
first one, I got to keep them. She's like, second
one took them, took them. A friend of mine had kids.
One kid took her boobs, and she's like, She's like,

(04:00):
I got I had great boobs. She's like, I don't
get me wrong on fair trade off. She's like, but
it's just sometimes you get to keep your boobs and
sometimes you don't.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I don't know how that works.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
I don't know either.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I never had boobs, and then I had boobs when
I got pregnant, and then they were gone again.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I'm like, ah, there's some like most pregnant women.

Speaker 8 (04:21):
Most all pregnant women have the glow that we're talking about,
the hair, everything. But there's a couple out there where
you see them pregnant and the pregnancy is whooping their ass.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Their whole nose changes. Oh yeah, like they get that
fat nose.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
They look like Tipil w. C.

Speaker 8 (04:39):
Fields all of a sudden, like they get a bulbous nose,
and they're just like, damn, you're going through it. I mean,
you know you put on some weight too, It's like
fifty pounds.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I've seen they always look like they're carrying a bag
of garbage that's too heavy.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's that's the look on their face, like h oh.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
They have to carry it in this weird way.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
There's a woman right now who as just dational diabetes,
who wants to kill us for being like pregnancy is
so beautiful.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, now I know how how difficult it is.
I wasn't trying to make it seem like it's just like, oh,
you guys are so lucky. You get to be so pretty.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
There are moments of it that are awesome, I'm sure
for sure.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
And then there are moments where you're like, I can't
do this anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, I mean I would imagine to be pretty frustrated.

Speaker 8 (05:24):
It's uncomfortable, especially if you're pregnant in the summer.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Do you get the bed rest for the last two
months or something like?

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah? What's that? Is that?

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Like pre clampsia or something clampsia?

Speaker 8 (05:39):
Like you have something where you have to be in
bed Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, like it's a there are issues with your blood
pressure and things like that.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
You know, you just have to be super super safe.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
First and third trimester, like gas you two, Like you
are so unbelievably tired, Like it's the at tired you've
never felt before.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
I don't envy women most of the time. I remember
when I was a little kid, my sister would fight,
like we were a little kids.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
She would fight with me.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Women have it worse because we have all of this
biological stuff that you don't have.

Speaker 9 (06:09):
And I would go, we have to go to war. Yeah,
that was my We get drafted and we have to
go to war. All you have to do is have
a baby. She's like, there's a baby, there's a lot more.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
There's a war inside me.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
What are you're talking about?

Speaker 6 (06:24):
But now it's like I am flood feet and if
he's a puffer.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah. I was talking to a woman. Uh, I was
talking to a woman this past weekend who was saying
that after every one of her kids, her feet got bigger.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
Oh I think that is real.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yeah, real. And she's like, I'm a size ten now
and that is She's like, that's kind of embarrassing to say.
I'm like, well, it's lovely if you think of it
in terms of your children. Your enormous clown feet our
proof of your love. Hey, clown shoes, get over here,
give me a foot job. Yeah, it looks so small.

(06:58):
It looks like it looks like you have like like
a pelican foot flapper. Things you should be standing atop
a telephone pole. The show is two packed today. We
put too much stuff in it. We might have to
it's gonna overflow and we might have to put some
time with a lot of in studio guests. We have

(07:21):

Bartneck will be stopped by six forty five this morning.

town since the game on Sunday. Only we didn't know

(07:42):

reason and that reason. He will fill you in on

Billy will be here today. Yeah right, Merril Hodge our
pick six big at more. Abby's got a news update
for you.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Go ahead.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood for
it store breezy and rainy all day.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
H I have fifty two.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Two suspects who were arrested in connection with the brazen
jewel highest at the Louver have reportedly confessed to their involvement.
Prosecutors say two men in their thirties, who were picked
up a week after the robbery and may have been
planning to leave the country, admitted to be part of
the group that broke into the Apollo Gallery on the
museum's second floor, smashed display cases and made off with

(08:30):
eight pieces of royal jewelry worth about one hundred and
two million, all of which are still missing. So far,
investigators have found no evidence that it was an inside job.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
What's interesting about this and we.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Talked about it, how they were dressed up basically as
construction workers.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
And this was kind of in plain sight.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
There was a story I just picked up this morning
where at least three men dressed up as construction workers
stole more than three million dollars worth of jewelry in Queens,
New York, doing the exact same thing. So this is
the new normal, I guess is how you do a
heist is just act like you're not doing anything wrong.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Act like you work here, Act like you work here.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
So this is the new Ocean's eleven.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
This is the new Ocean's eleven. So what was the
one in Queen's In Queens? It was three men dressed
up as construction workers stole more than three million dollars
worth of jewelry and a safe from a home in Queens,
New York. And this happened in the Jamaica Hills neighborhood.
They forced open a door, got inside the house and

(09:36):
took a safe along with the jewelry. Security cameras caught
them leaving. Let me see if I'm gonna I'm gonna
jump ahead here.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
So it was a private residence.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
It was a private residence, but they just dressed up
like construction workers. And kind of looked like they were
kind of working on the building, like you know they
so they.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
Weren't construction workers, because not, man, that's that's a lazy thief,
Like you didn't even change out of your outfit changed.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
But I started seeing people on TikTok like showing off
like they're like couples costumes this year, and it's just
them dressed up like the highst like people doing the
heightst from the louver and it is They're just wearing
like construction vests and being like I'm done holding jewelry.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's a pretty good one.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Pretty good and pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Anytime there's an easy one like that.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, that show I was telling you about not to
watch on HBO, the Mark Ruffalo show called Task because
I don't watch the first episode. But the thieves tactics
in that one was they were actual garbage men and
then at the stops of drug dealers, they would take
their garbage and pretend to throw it in the truck

(10:40):
and then take it up into the cab and they'd
go through it to monitor how many drugs were in
their house at any time, so they would know like
when they threw out the scales and stuff that that's
when all they had cashed out, and that then all
their cash was there because like, hey, they threw out
the scales, that means they sold everything and then they

(11:00):
go back and rob them. But they wouldn't wear their
their garbage men's suit to rob them. That's the one difference. Yeah,
they were actually garbage men.

Speaker 8 (11:10):
And so when they dressed up in suits, yes they
rob them in tuxedos.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Excuse me, sir, yes, can they interest you in a
bank load?

Speaker 8 (11:18):
But there was some other I can't remember what documentary
it was, but the mob was involved and they owned
a bunch of garbage trucks, and the way that they
were doing it involved something where it was either like
the drug drop was a garbage bag in the garbage truck.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Sopranos was Is that what it was? Yeah, there's a
whole Sopranos storyline in season two or three where they
keep their dealing coke from the trucks. Oh my god,
why did I think this is a documentary.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
It might be so they probably did take it from
a real thing.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
They took a lot of the stuff on the Sopranos
from a real thing, so it might be real. Yeah,
but yeah they were. They were dealing coke on the
trucks and then abody like messed around or tried to
snitch them out for doing it. They would dump all
the garbage in their parking lots. That's what it was.

Speaker 8 (12:08):
Yes, I'm kind of digging right now, like just the
old timey crimes we have going on because this whole
NBA scam, the mafia is involved four of the five families,
Like they're they're they're approaching people to start shaving points
and they're doing it all with unders like bets inside
the game. And I don't know, I didn't know the

(12:31):
mob was still operating like that.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Why was it the fifth family not involved? Was it too
much integrity?

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Now what we're out, we don't like the NBA. We don't. Yeah,
we're more of a w NBA. When you want to
ride the w NBA, let us know, everyone looks at
the boss. One dude just makes the throat slit sign.
You should have that veto. Yeah, I like, uh, you know,
Sheryl Swoops was favorite. She's been retired for so long.

(13:00):
I grew up with it though, Alright when it comes
I like Paige Bukers ship sue me. Now we're talking boss. No,
nobody messed with Caitlin Clark. Tell you who. We can't
approach that Angel Reese. She talks too much and she

(13:21):
can't do a layup. Just bet her unders. We don't
even have to try. She uh posed in Victoria's Secret
She ran the runway, and now Paige Bukers wants to
do it. Oh, let them like the I I like
these girls. I did too. Her walk on the runway

(13:44):
to Angel.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, did she dunk at the end?

Speaker 4 (13:47):
She did? And then she got into a fight with somebody.
It was amazing. She fucked. Uh what's her name? Carry Gerber?
I was gonna say, I don't know any of the
new Mode and I just know Sidney Crosby, Sidney Crosby.
She bought Sidney Crossby, Sidney Crosby cross checkers. Yeah, at

(14:09):
the end they both for the ice big as. That's true.
Nobody's a big grass and said, but Ciddy Crawford's daughter
is what I was trying to say.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Karen Gerber, I think it's her name.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
I literally would not know the name of a current
Victoria's Secret model.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
I could give you all of them from nineteen ninety
to about two thousand and Kathy Ireland. Oh my god, dude, yeah,
El McPherson, Kathy Ireland, Yeah, that's oh. Adriana Lima. Adriana
met married. She married Ronnie Cyclely, who was like he
looked like the chunk from the Goonies, like the UK.

(14:49):
What was the sloth chunk? Yeah, I mean it's on
the palette, I guess.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah, h Adriana Lima, Alessandria Ambrosia, Yes.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Alessandria Ambrosio. Good lord, tiny glume of course. Who is
the black supermodel that had.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Her mom, Tyra Banks with the five head?

Speaker 8 (15:11):
Yeah, but she was in that you know, Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Edition a bunch many times. And who was the
the other model that was like a clean freak before
anybody else was like a germophobe that would wipe down
her entire Nikki airplane.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Oh man, Nikki Something.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
I'm blanking on it. There was a blonde chick named
Nikki Something that I know, and her sister died from
an asthma attack. Knew so much about the supermodels back then,
those Sports Illustrated, those Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues, though they
were like it was crazy how big those were. The
Internet kind of wiped it out, but pre Internet that

(15:53):
was like softcore. Yeah, you know, it's like that joke
that you like from that guy about Sears dot com.
Oh yeah, when we were growing up, we didn't have
the Internet. You had to go on you know, to
look at the Sears catalog, you know, and go to
the BRA the BRA pages. But now just go on

(16:15):
Sears dot com.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's such a good joke.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
I butchered it. But yeah, twenty anyhow, all right, what
were we talking about that about us? Oh, the Angel
Reese thing. Yeah, yeah, before that, we're talking about w
NBA because we were talking about channels. Yeah, we were
talking about point shaving and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
And that's the when that unfolds.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Like we've heard some details in the first charges that
have been released, but like I can't wait to hear
more about this because there's going to be separate thing
that's happening too with the poker game.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
And those are old timey, Like that's like a soprano fix, right,
I mean, is.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
They're wearing like glasses. They have X ray glasses. There's
X ray tables. They had glasses that could read the
backs of the cards, so they would wear these glasses
at the poker game and they could see what everyone
had in their hand. They had two way mirrors, They
had videos like cameras popping up from the table that
were videoing guy's hands and stuff like I.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Only saw the New York Post photo that like had
just like basically a contraption underneath the table.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, how the hell?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I don't know?

Speaker 8 (17:26):
Like who, Well, there are now a lot of like
professional poker players coming out and being like, yeah, no,
everybody knew that that game was rigged, but they were
just drawing in unsuspecting people, big time card players, using
athletes like come play poker with Chauncey.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Billups, Yeah, or Durant did a bunch of them and
he got lit up for it and they're all in
on it, Like, but he just went like he's not
accused of of having organized He's he is a victim.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Basically he went and got robbed, did he really?

Speaker 8 (18:03):
That's that's hard to believe because it's it seems like
now I'm seeing nothing but videos NonStop of games where
like things are happening to affect the spread, not the
ultimate outcome, just the under yeah, like either a player
just inexplicably gets taken out of a game that's kind
of close.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So there's a science to it.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Apparently this I like I saw reel with a Monster
talking about it that, like if they want an under
to hit and they have somebody who's a ball carrier,
they tell that guy, you have to turn the ball
over three times in the first first half and they
know that, Like the equation is if he does that, yeah,

(18:48):
the underhits.

Speaker 8 (18:49):
And they they also have said in different interviews that
we're trying to approach a referee because a referee is
really influential and creating an under because I just get
this guy on two or three fouls in the first half,
put him on the bench. All the time that he
spends out of the game is time he can't score.

(19:10):
And so it's just wild, Like and now, how do
you bet on the NBA? How do you how do
you gamble without thinking it isn't being screwed with.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
I would never bet on the NBA. No, I mean
I bet on baseball and football. Stick with that, like's
trying to get me into hockey and I'm not doing it. Like,
and when I say trying to get me. I mean
I bet on hockey, of course, you know, like once
you get in the playoffs, especially, it's fun to bet
on series and stuff. But like, I'm not doing night
to night betting on hockey. That's just not happening. I

(19:43):
like to bet like having a beer, you know what
I mean. It's it's the weekend.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh make some bets, you know what I mean, not
like it's Tuesday. What am I gonna bet?

Speaker 10 (19:51):
You know?

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah, that's a lot. I mean, although sometimes I do,
like no, but if the World Series on a Tuesday,
I might put a bet on the World Series. Did
you go over for Yasavich? For you said? What an
absolute gem of a performance last night?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's still in my same suitcase from eight months ago,
a big suitcase. Or you just don't have a lot
of clothes. I did have a couple of places around
the country that have a couple of things in and
I just float around into comedy and you know, drink
and watch sports. It's my normal life. I just don't
have my dogs anymore. Yeah, I volunteered every time. How's

Sports is brought to you by Bridgeville Clients.

Speaker 13 (22:39):
Another Wednesday, another really interesting twelve minutes from Aaron Rodgers yesterday,
Who's U trying to steward the Steelers through a stretch
that has seemingly seen them arrive at the precipice of
the Abyss. They are playing poorly, to be kind, and
here come to Indianapolis Colts, the best team in the
NFL at best off it's in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Doesn't look like a good matchup on paper, sure doesn't.
But Rogers, you.

Speaker 13 (23:06):
Might recall after the Cincinnati game he wasn't gonna ride
the roller coaster. Yesterday he said, it's not yet time
to circle the wagons.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
I don't know if we need to do that.

Speaker 14 (23:18):
I think you got to stay in the course. You know,
we lost a tough one in Sinci on a short week,
and we played a good football team and had many
chances to, you know, to get things going.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
We're up sixteen to seven and a half. Our defensive
playing well.

Speaker 14 (23:32):
Offensively, we've done a good job I think ending some
hals and points, but we haven't not sure. We scored
on the first possession of the second half, and when
you defern and you're expecting to have a chance to
double up, so to speak, that's what changes the game.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
In the middle eight of the game. We haven't played
well in the second fourth. Yeah, the amazing thing. And
even I think I've lost sight of this.

Speaker 13 (23:56):
They have looked horrific at times the last couple of weeks,
particularly on def that's the last couple of weeks. They
were winning the Bengals game with two minutes and thirty
one seconds left, and they were winning the Packers game
going into the fourth quarter.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
That's crazy because those games didn't feel like that.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
No, not at all.

Speaker 13 (24:13):
But I mean, I don't know what to make of that.
But other than they had a chance to win both
of those games, the.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Crazy thing is that Packers game them leading going into
the fourth. Looking back on it now, it's inconceivable. It's
inconceivable in your mind's eye looking back at that game,
would you have thought like, oh yeah, and of course
we were in the lead going into the fourth. You
just looked at the statue and they saw the highlights.
They put up twenty one points.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
We couldn't do anything.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Also, that was like Arthur Smith has gotten off Scott
free this week when we've criticized the second half, getting
away from the run.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Makes no sense to me.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
This has supposed to be have been our identity and
it was working and you've seen that you have you
can wear teams down with this. He and Gainwell right now,
Jalen Warren and Gainwell are a pretty good one too. Yeah,
lines playing well. When did say Malu go out?

Speaker 8 (25:09):
Because that I'm thinking that's the only thing that could
have affected their strategy at that point.

Speaker 13 (25:13):
We went out late second quarter and then tried to
come back in the third quarter and wasn't able to continue.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Fair point, But like anders should be able to get
in there if you.

Speaker 13 (25:25):
Get the penalty on the off side, do you get
that first down and then you run the ball there?
I mean they came out first play the third quarter
was a pass. I mean, that's not the most egregious mistake,
but then it was incomplete. Then they tried another one
and didn't get very far thereby scored on the ensuing drive.
Yeah right, Yeah, that was the crazy Tucker thing. Fifty

(25:46):
nine yard or to Tucker ninety yards after the miss penalty, Yeah, okay,
because they plotted him then down to.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
The ten, they still could have stuck with the run there. Yeah,
you're still and they went down and got a field goal,
but just couldn't get back to the run for whatever reason.
Offensive shortcomings aside, Rogers maintains it's not the play calling,
it's the players.

Speaker 14 (26:12):
Execution for sure. I mean, we heard ourselves with penalties.
We had opportunities to put ourselves in better situations, and
it's just execution. I've have Heart's done a great job
calling plays. We had a couple of bus we had
a couple opportunities we did come up with. I missed
the throw. We can't expect bos to Bill and so

(26:34):
I like that every single week night.

Speaker 13 (26:37):
So he's not panicking. He's been down this road before,
I assume in twenty one years. But boy, again this
I'm scratching my head trying to recall a game in
recent memory where I thought this is not going to
go well, and you know, not not seeing an avenue
where it might.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Here, here's what it might, there's where might. Yeah, if
they actually can slow down Jonathan Taylor, they're not gonna
stop them from scoring. If you can slow him down
a little bit massively, that's the problem. They've got a
chance to outshoot them because defensively they have some vulnerable Yeah,

(27:20):
that would be vulnerabilities, right, Aaron Rodgers would have to
have a monster game. Dk Metcalf would have to step up.
And remember John new Smith, I do remember him, Remember
that guy or somebody. I mean, it doesn't need to
be this guy to that guy. But it's got to
be a couple guys, you know what I mean. They're
supposed to have an offense that's built on that, on

(27:41):
that kind of diversity. If Cincinnati offers opportunity for Friar Muth,
he's got he's got to rise up. If another matchup
means they run the ball out of somebody's throat, they
do that.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
But the way they get there, Mike is running the ball.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Because who's more effective at a play action than Aaron Rodgers? Nobody? Well,
right now, yeah, Daniel.

Speaker 13 (28:00):
When they when he does, he looks at Jonathan Taylor
and nine guys for the defense go flying.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Okay, there's number eleven, here you go, there's number one.

Speaker 9 (28:08):
Here you go.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
There's a tight end from Penn State that it's your turn.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
And these guys like you never say his name.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Well, it's just because kind of how I watch I
write down numbers, right, I mean, I know who they are,
I know, no, but he in particular, everyone just goes
tight end for Penn's State. Yeah, which is like his
name is Tyler Warren.

Speaker 13 (28:27):
I did find something about the Colts. I did a
deep film dive, as I always do, and they're they
have an achilles heel. It's when they're up twenty one
points in the fourth quarter and they put all their
backups in. Their backups are really slappy and they give
up a lot of yard.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Right, so you know, switch heads down rock you know, right,
I don't know, got got outscore him? I mean it's
got to start there.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
Well, I mean, you say, every week the league reshuffles,
and every time that we've completely counted the Steelers out,
they somehow pull a win out of their rs or
pull out a performance that looks like what it should
have looked like from the beginning.

Speaker 13 (29:09):
And it happens in the NFL every Sunday. Right, But
it's just not a lot to hang your hat on.
You say, well, the league's goofy, it might be our
turn to be goofy.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
No, you're not hanging your hat on anything tangible. Yeah,
it's just you know, a lot of they're played at home,
and it's a non division. Colts do for an a.

Speaker 13 (29:23):
Colts are seven and one, they're probably not going sixteen
and one.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
So somebody's gonna beat them, right, Yeah, I don't know
it just the they look good.

Speaker 13 (29:33):
And the thing I'm having a hard time wrapping my
head around is the defense was playing well for the
first half and it was the same Packers off and
they went from playing well to being a complete inept
across the board outfit.

Speaker 8 (29:53):
Well, a lot of it was that it was a
fluky play that hurt one of their key players, and
they never bounce back.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
From never bounce back if they stop in there, if
Deshaun Elliott plays that better, or they call for pushing
off if he plays it better he's not injured.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
Or they get to smack or I mean I if
nobody cares. And if my aunt had nuts, we all
have a Merry Christmas.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Nuts.

Speaker 13 (30:19):
Rayven's at the Dolphins tonight. That's another one of those games.
We'll test that Thursday night road teams theory.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
We'd all have a Merry Christmas is such a funny
way to end that. If my an had nuts, we
all have him Merry Christmas.

Speaker 13 (30:31):
Blue Jayson one went away from winning the World Series.
Toronto's not gonna Christmas.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I watched three pitches of baseball and they were two
home runs.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (30:45):
Yeah, David Schneider and Guerrero took Blake's spell out. Uh
Trey Ysevach seven innings, three hits, one run, no walks,
twelve strikeouts. He threw one hundred and four pitches seventy
one for strikes.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Unbelievable. But I don't know if they win pick one.

Speaker 8 (31:08):
This kid, Ya Savitch was in low A ball at
the start of the year. Yeah, he climbed four rungs.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
He has more postseason starts than he does in the
regular season. The two craziest ascensions in sports over the
last couple of years place kickers and pictures. The velocity
the pitchers are getting and the distance the place kickers.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
It's like the atmosphere changed or something. And I know
that part of.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
The increased mph you're seeing and the velocity for pictures
has to do with how they're measuring it now, but
it's inarguable it's still all of these guys are throwing rockets.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
Well, they're also starting earlier, that's why, and that's why
their arms are falling apart because they're throwing that gas.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
But they don't care because they just have another one, right, Well,
they have another picture. But also those people now they
blow up their arms early. They get up by on
a arm that comes back two and a half years later,
and then that thing grows like the as good as
the first one. We're all like Henry Rowan Gardner.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
They are, dude, it's crazy from it.

Speaker 13 (32:08):
You and I aren't ancient, but world enough to remember
when hitting a hundred was special. Dude, there was only
a couple guys that could do that. Now and you'd
be like, oh my god, you see three numbers? Yeah, yeah,
I mean people bring guys out of the bullpen and
they're throwing high nineties.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Like, by the way, do you see Shelter got hired
by your twinkies?

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Take the under mic.

Speaker 13 (32:31):
You get ready for I like him as a person.
I was texting with Ben's about this. They're the American
League pirates. They are knocking their payroll down every year
and all they talk about is how nice their park is.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
Well, didn't their ownership just put out they were gonna
sell and be tried for year and a half nobody
wants to buy. They were gonna sell the team, and
then they like put out a statements They're like, you
know what, we're gonna take it off the market.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
We're actually gonna because nobody wants it. The Twins one
as i've been an adult, Yes, yes, okay, the more
exactly the Pirates.

Speaker 13 (33:05):
They get in the playoffs, and once every six times
they get in the playoffs they win a series or
a game. But uh, you know, all though I haven't
won the World Series is nineteen ninety one, okay, because
I remember, like Willie Stargo, I was like six years
I was seven years old.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Kirby Puckett, I think I was. I remember I was
a person. You know.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
That's what the.

Speaker 13 (33:25):
Swins fan watching those teams in eighty seven and ninety one. Pucket, Herbert,
Gary Guy, Edi, Burt Blylevel was on one of those teams.
Frank Yola, Jack Morris, Morris that I was going to say,
the ten incomplete game with one pitching performance we neglected
to mention in the World Series the other day was
Jack Morris.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Which we'll never see again.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Of course, no, because nobody'd be allowed.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
All right, Abby, you'll have your news coming up at
the top of the hour.

residency happening for Joe Joey b Joe Bartnick and Friends.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Knockout with Tonight is a tight at the improv because
somebody dropped out quick. But we're gonna start doing these
next year, so I'm actually hosting and closing. That's awesome
the Triple Dude. But we got mister Wednesday's coming this Fox,
Mike Zidell, and a bunch of other special guests. Yeah,
I love the lineup. You gotta love it. I haven't
seen Zaidell in a while, so it's gonna be nuts.

Speaker 8 (35:32):
I always tell him, dude, nobody can steal your material.
This stuff doesn't work for anybody else.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
I mean, what would be hilarious is getting someone to try, yeah,
doing the cover, Having Jeff Cople go out and do
Mikeidel be hilarious.

Speaker 8 (35:51):
I think we tried that one time at an open
mic that I had on Monday nights at uh at
whatever the hell but the sports Bar. We used to
do like cover material, like you go up and do
somebody else's joke. Somebody did that in San Francisco. My
buddy sal Colony did a Halloween show like that. People, Yeah,
other people's material. This guy didn't know I was gonna

(36:11):
show up I showed up. He was doing my material.
I swear on my grandmother. The kid left town.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
We thought you probably thought you're gonn run him out.
Yeah he did. He was afraid, he was. He got
all upset.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
He left down thinking I was gonna tell the Book
of San Francisco punchline, and he thought his career was ruined.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
I saw him like fifteen years later at the stand.
I didn't know who he was. I forgot who he was.
He walked away, like, what did I do to my life?
I'm like, dude, I don't even know who you are.
So this wasn't like a comedy themed show. He was
just stealing your.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Everyone was doing to other Yeah, that's not everybody was
doing other people's material. I thoughtd be funny to show
up he was doing me and exactly you know he
was doing you before you went no. But I think
I think it's flattery when someone knows you're active. I mean,
you can I love it when people steal my act
in the sense of like they're paying attention, they like

(37:02):
me well. Dennis Miller, Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
Dennis Miller always said you just got to write them
faster than they can steal him because he famously Yeah,
went to LA after doing Pittsburgh and you know the
regional circuit here, and then went to LA and found
all those comics doing his jokes.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Well, we would always say that before the Internet, when
we would do triple runs.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
It's like the local.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Trible run is for those who don't know, Yeah, it's
like the local, the little one nighters, all through the
upper name of the booker, right, the name of the booker.
So you do like Missoula, then Idaho falls all these
crap towns, so you have to drive nine nine hours
to and then you know, you'd you know, get like
three hundred bucks and all the beer you could drink.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
So they're perfect gigs for me.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
But you didn't know from night to night the who
the headliner was going to.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Be, and we headliner, you were the headliner, but or
the feature, which is where you learned how to do
a half, where.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
You learned to close.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
But there'd be a local webc in town to say
he was like the intern at the radio station and
he'd do ten minutes, and if he had a joke
that was so good, you'd see the calendar like, oh,
this guy's coming in October, don't do that joke in
front of him because he's.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Gonna take it.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Oh wow, different times exactly.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Now.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Now those kids, there's those kids are on the internet
with a five billion followers, and everybody.

Speaker 8 (38:19):
Kind of steals everybody else's stuff anyways on TikTok, Like
I don't know if the kids even care about it. Yeah,
I mean just like different tropes and memes and stuff
that they recreate, Like they'll take an audio and do
basically the same exact thing.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
I just when I see someone doing like, I see
more people sealing essences. Now it seems like it's come
around to now people can do Mitch like people forgot
He's there's a.

Speaker 8 (38:44):
Guy doing my God, there's a guy doing like a
really uncomfortable impression of Mitch.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
He's not doing jokes, but he is doing Mitch. I
saw a guy doing doing Norm McDonald. He goes I
open for Nor mc donald for years and was like
every one of his jokes was like Norm McDonald light
like it was everything that Norm did an open mic
and didn't more like, yeah, uh.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
What do you make of these penguins there? Joe host
a PuckOff podcast. I mean it has been remarkable this
start of the season. I didn't think i'd be paying
much attention to them, but it's hard not to right
now with the success they're having with the young guys,
because I equated it yesterday to buying a puppy for
the old dog, and you know, and the old dog
starts bouncing around again. Gino's leading the league in points
where he was yesterday, and uh, you know, Sid, it's

(39:38):
just continuing to accumulate accolades and they're they're racking up
wins in October. It's just so much fun. I'm just
enjoying it.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
And I give a big apology to Kala Duba because
I thought he had a horrible summer, even incredible summer.
Muse is a great coach, Kindles a great draft pick.
Everyone he's brought in, Brazoh Mantha Watherspoon, they're all played
in every Here's the thing. Every single Penguin is playing
better than expected. Every single one of them is playing

(40:07):
better than we thought they would, even like Okay Carlson
had one bad game. La Tang started out bad. Ten days,
He's had.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
A great week.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Rusty was a little slow. For Rusty.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
Now Rusty's on fire while this, I mean the defense
is playing about the sea loves what about the goalie?
What do you think she.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Loves to play great? He stood on his head to
get the loser point. You know, that's the sad thing
Bill I'd read. If we go like six, seven, six
and seventy five, I'd be happy as long as those
six wins are against Philly. Me and Josh too for
talking just marvel every week, like and Josh is kind
of like he slows me down in a little bit, like, oh,

(40:45):
we'll see because you know me, I'm on fire.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
I'm just so happy. I always say up podcast. But
I forget too for talking with Josh Yoe. If you
want some great hockey for banter between Joe Bartnick and
Josh Yoe, thank you really.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
And it's like I get my own weekly dose of
the best Penguin hockey reporter.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
Yeah, that's pretty in my corner, Like Josh, we're talking
this right now. Joe's gonna hang out with us in
studio here for a while. Abby's got your news. When
we come back, we will talk.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
About this really wild case where a woman is suing
SeaWorld over a duck. But we'll also talk about whether
Halloween decorations are getting too scary?

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Ironworkers Local Union number three. They don't
go to the office, They build it and Steelers Pro
Shop get it direct from the team at shop dot
Steelers dot com.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
Here's tom opfroman.

Speaker 16 (42:39):
The task for a struggling Steelers defense will not get
any easier on Sunday when the NFL's number one scoring
offense comes to town in the form of the Indianapolis Colts.
The colts prolific offensive attack what's averages thirty three point
eight points per game and a league best three hundred
and eighty five point three total yards per game, is
no doubt led by their superstar running back Jonathan Taylor.
Taylor leads the NFL and rushing yards with eight hundred
and fifty rushing touchdowns with twelve and with his two

(43:00):
receiving touchdowns, his fourteen total TDS leads the entire NFL.
He's also coming off of what might be his most
dominant performance of the season, rushing for one hundred and
fifty three yards on just twelve carries and finding the
end zone three total times. That marks the fourth time
this season Jonathan Taylor has achieved three touchdowns in a
single game.

Speaker 12 (43:18):
The rest of the NFL has just eight of those
performances combined.

Speaker 16 (43:21):
Furthermore, Taylor has scored ten touchdowns over his past four games,
the first time that has been accomplished by anyone since
the twenty fifteen season. The Steelers, who have the NFL's
eighteenth ranked run defense allowing one hundred and twelve points
seven yards per game on the ground. Two opponents will
have their work cut out for them when it comes
to stopping Taylor in the Colts rushing attack, but doing
so will be a major key in.

Speaker 12 (43:40):
Snapping their losing streak. I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Is this is wdve.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Pittsburgh as much as like women in so many phases
of their life, even when you're a teenager, like you
never appreciate what your body looks like, even when you're hot,
You never appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
Right, you're uncomfortable in your own skin.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
But when I was pregnant and like that belly was
all the way out like Turkey's done, belly buttons popping out,
I never wanted.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
To go to the beach more. Oh yeah, I was
so like, this is awesome, this is awesome.

Speaker 6 (44:22):
I am ready to put on a bikini and be
like taking it.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:26):
I fel so good.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
That's that way, And it's a fair trade off given
that you physically feel like ass for so much of
the time and you're actually wrecking your body right now.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
That being said, six months after the baby, my hair
fell out.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
I looked like for Potu, Brandy Bellman and the DV
morning show Everybody.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Joe Bartnick is live in studio with us this morning
and anticipation of tonight's Joe Bartnick and.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Friends at the Emperor.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
That was me this weekend at the beach in Fort Lauderdale,
sticking my belly out like I just feel great.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
Yeah, you hit the beach in Lauderdale, did you every day? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Absolutely? Oh and it was windy.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
You know when your phone icons will say wind Yeah,
the sea was angry, my friends, Yeah, it was throwing
me around.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Did you get that permann he's on on Ocean Boulevard?
There was it Ocean Boulevard, that's right there. I always
forget or Collins. No, No, that's Miami. I've never done
a non four one two pm.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
I think that that.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Well, I will say, I've gone to the one in
Erie and I've gone to the one in Grove City,
and they're both legit because I think they can get
Mancini bread.

Speaker 8 (45:40):
Say day, Well, this is the problem is that I've
been to a couple in Florida and the bread is
weird different, that's the same.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
I heard there's actually though, like, that's fine as long
as there's still Permanny's. As long as mister Rogers and
Lemieu were on the wall. I've heard that there's Permanny's.
I don't want to talk about it, but I just
heard there's Permanne the other parts of the place of
the country where maybe there's other team stuff.

Speaker 8 (46:04):
Now true, Well, I know Baltimore has one, and so
I doubt that they. Oh yeah, we're talking about We
did this story about it a couple of years ago.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
But yeah, me like that you have your Google alert,
said Brothers goes up.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
You know I should know. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
I just I wonder.

Speaker 8 (46:29):
I mean, I'll never go to Baltimore in my life,
so I'll never see the inside of that place unless
somebody else.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
If if if I would have my like caricature painted
on the Eerie store, and I was like, he's very kind, No,
whys me up there? I haven't been there for I
haven't been there for two and a half decades, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
Like they asked if you could be on the Pittsburgh One.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
No, I wouldn't do that either. I wouldn't I'm not
worthy of that.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
How are you not on the Pittsburgh One.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Yeah, not dude, not worthy at all. That's like George
Washington turning down a third term. Yeah you know, well,
I mean that's like my lifetime dream.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
It's it's you're not worthy.

Speaker 6 (47:13):
Like, but you determine whether you're worthy.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
You termine that. No, you do you say yes or
you know, when you're asked no, you'd say no, I'm
not worthy. It's like when you get asked to be
the pope, you're supposed to say no, no, no, no,
I couldn't be. I couldn't be the Cardinals are like,
come on, come on, they have a tickle fight, and okay,

(47:39):
I'll do it.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
I think it's where for Steve just to be on
the Perman's wall, to be the Pope. Italian organizations, as
as far as that goes, both fine, Yeah, story Italian franchises.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Anyway. One has a great background and one not so
much so when you went to the ones in Florida, though,
but you want to see Burn. Is that like Steve
Burn like he needs to fix so bad he'll go
get the cut heroin. Yeah, he doesn't care. It doesn't
matter traces of it. It's like his embassy wherever he is.
He wants to check in there, say hello.

Speaker 8 (48:12):
He actually tried to fight the uber driver on our
way there, which made it awkward.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
Uh, try, Steve tried to fight somebody on the way
there is like an understood part of just about every
story with Steve. The guy was saying, like the directions
go this way.

Speaker 8 (48:27):
Steve had his maps app out, it was saying go
that way.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
They started fighting. Next thing you know, we're on the
shoulder of.

Speaker 8 (48:36):
The freeway walking the opposite way to where Steve wanted
to take us.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
And then we get there, and uh, there's no permanning.
Steve Fone just knows where Primanny's. You know how when
somebody get in your card and knows on Wednesdays you
go to like the studio. Yeah, it'll just be like, yo,
you're fifteen minutes away from Permandy, Steve.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
I'm glad Primanny's go everywhere because I don't like the
places that pretend or we have a Pittsburgh Sandwich and
we're the Pittsburgh so please take over the world.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
Just don't have fly your gear at your Penn State store.
Oh that's what I heard?

Speaker 11 (49:12):
Is that not?

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Yeah? I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
I don't I shouldn't speak because I don't know exactly,
and I'm going to geinst my grandmother.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
Don't say all right, you don't know. I know my
friend Mike's listening right now. And you got to do
a little digging for me. Maybe someone from Philly just
stuck it in there, just to stick it to us. Yep,
you gotta you got a ton of Philly fans in
Penn State. Make some calls, might figure out what's going
on up there and change it.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
We're gonna put Randy's face over the gritty.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Here's what I hate gritty. What I hate is that
I hate gritty or that I love gritty, rather like
I think gritty is hilarious, very funny. I think.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
I think that's how horrible a franchise is. They have
to promote their mat It's like it's like the pirate
parent being the best.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Well, I guess he is the best.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Pirate does do the gritty cell blow on the side too.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
I don't know, it looks like it. It looks like, yeah,
he's done a bunch. Yeah. Joe Bartnick tonight at the
Improval times at show start probably seven, right, Jeff Conkole,
Mike's idell on the bill, Yeah, Marcus Cock, Marcus. I
love that kid. He's my first call. All right, Abby,
He's got a news update. Now, what's up news?

Speaker 3 (50:25):
This hour is brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems,
Wet Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot Com, Breezy and rain all
day today.

Speaker 4 (50:32):
It is a high of fifty two. This story is
so wild.

Speaker 6 (50:35):
It was like I was playing mad libs, so I
just wanted to throw it out at you.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
A woman is suing SeaWorld after a duck hit her
in the face while she rode a high speed roller coaster. WFTV,
which is an Orlando news station, reported that the woman
is seeking fifty thousand dollars for the incident that happened
in March.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
She was riding a roller coaster and a duck flew
into the.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
Path of the car, hitting her in the face, knocking
her unconscious. The woman, who was not identified, claims that
SeaWorld should have warned about dangerous conditions before she got
on the coaster.

Speaker 4 (51:11):
They did.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Everyone was like, duck, yeah, your attorneys wrote in the
legal filing that the theme park created a zone of danger.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
Is that where the turned duck came from? Do you
think people were bending down to get out of the
way of ducks? It makes sense, right, duck? And what
is that action called when you bend down like that
to avoid the ducks? Swan, get out here, Larry duck.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
This is an interesting position for the attorneys today. They
said that the theme park created a zone of danger
for bird strikes due to placing the roll the coaster
over or near a body of water, which creates a
high your risk of bird strikes involving ducks, gulls, geese,
and other.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Watcher, foul duck. Yeah, it's comes from the old English
duke and that meant h to you know, duck dive
or put up your dukes duck. Fabio is the only
other one that I've ever heard. This happened to one

(52:28):
of the funniest ever because the look on Fabio's faces.
I never thought I'd see a sad Fabio. Sad Fabio
was hilarious. He did not want to kill that bird.
And his nose really hurts.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
Yeah, well, didn't his nose get jacked totally?

Speaker 2 (52:43):
He broke the top of the ridge of the nose.
Fab Was it a roller coaster?

Speaker 4 (52:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (52:50):
He likes fun.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
It's not all romance.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
He brings his sword on. His hair is already blowing back.
He's covered in hair behind him.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
He's sixty six years old. He lives in Milan. Now,
bird to the face. I guarantee you every single one
of his friends texted him this story.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Oh he never hears the end of that anytime there's
bird news.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
I wonder if he had a lawsuit for that.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
It's good luck. If he could hit by a bird
in the face, right, that's another I can say.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
He did be an an interview last year, on the
twenty fifth anniversary of that happening, I tell you it
was a miracle. I know that for a goose, for
anything to hit you at the like eighty miles an
hour and leave you with just a stitch, I'm telling you,
it's a freaking miracle.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
And because of that day, I began living.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
Life to the full list, knowing at any moment his
dun friends are coming to get me. I could turn
a corner like he's running from the mob. He's just
trying to get away from the rest of the flock.

Speaker 8 (54:00):
Yeah, there's no way that you ever get on a
roller coaster in your life and imagine that that's on
the table.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
No, just a goose to the face.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Too.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
He said it wasn't a bird, he said. Everyone said
it's a bird, but it was a piece of metal.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
The videotape disappeared, he claims, and it really shows that
he got hit by a piece of metal. That because
I think it's the first run of that roller coaster. Really, Yeah,
it was like the inaugural run and they're like, oh,
look we got Fabio in the front road. He comes out,
he's all bloody, and everyone's like he got hit by
a goost.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
He was metal.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
That's like Sea World just trying to do too much,
you know, like the Kissing Shamboo wasn't enough. You have
to build some roller coaster to bring in the kids.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
Yeah, what are we doing?

Speaker 6 (54:51):
I didn't even know SeaWorld was still functioning.

Speaker 8 (54:55):
No, I thought they were getting shut down, or at
least maybe they have to get rid of all of the.

Speaker 4 (54:59):
Way after the Blackwater documentary, I thought they got pretty
much housed. I did too well. I'll tell you what.
When I was a kid, I would I loved it
so much. They had one in an Aurora, Ohio.

Speaker 6 (55:10):
Yeah, that's the one I went to as a kid.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
Yeah, and you were just like, oh my god, wall
Like seeing Shamou was like the coolest thing when you
were a kid.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
And then some would kiss Shamou.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
And then Pete Lee got to be batman and water
ski yeah, comedian Yeah, yeah, he was a water skier
at Sea World.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Dude, Pete Lee has lived nine lives.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
Yeah, that dude has so many stories that not one
person should not have those kinds of stories next to
each other. Now they're they're unbelievable in and of themselves.
And the next one is so unrelated to the first
one and also unbelievable. It's impossible to think that this

(55:57):
is really the same person telling these stories. And you
know he was like a martial arts expert on top
of that, right right, Yeah, And he's like the softest spoken, nicest,
sweetest midwestern guy in the world.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
But he's also a killer stone cold killer, stone cold killer,
stone cold, great comic, the nicest guy in the world.
But yeah, but who would think he water skid at
a professional like I could do a pyramid as Batman.

Speaker 4 (56:24):
It's sea World. He's so funny. He was so funny
at the DV Comedy Fest this year. He hates Aaron
Rodgers as a Packers fan, and so.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
I mean he said the funniest thing ever. Remember we
were crying. I'm like, oh yeah that. Oh he roasted me.
I love being roasted too. So fun No, he said
that because Pittsburgh, you guys drink until you got to drive.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
Oh yeah, he pants off at the end of that show.

Speaker 17 (56:54):
He did.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
He did.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
He is underwear on though.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
Yeah, it was a yeah, all right, we love that.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Well, when it comes to Halloween, there are two kinds
of people. Those who think it is getting too intense,
and those who think it's you know.

Speaker 6 (57:10):
A little too safe.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
But there's a new article in the New York Times
that asks have Halloween decorations become too scary.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
It mentions things like.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
Skelly, the huge Halloween skeletons that have been popping up,
along with very lifelike witches and demons, realistic blood and gore.
They talk to some parents who have young kids who
like the classic Halloween imagery like pumpkins, witches, ghosts, spiders,
and skeletons, and they feel like today's dismembered bodies, moving,

(57:39):
speaking and gesturing props are a little too disturbing. So
there are also neighbors who complain about the decorations in
their neighborhood being maybe too violent and unsettlings. But some
adults even admit that they have been rattled by some
of the more modern decorations.

Speaker 4 (57:56):
So what do you tell you about things in your neighborhood.
They look like they're on par with stuff from like
in early eighties John Carpenter movie. Yeah, yeah, like in
the thing where the head gets cut off and then
its tongue comes out and goes out and like drags
itself by the tongue across the floor.

Speaker 10 (58:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Yeah, yeah, like you see stuff like that in people's
yards now, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (58:19):
Yeah, that's why people spend so much money on Halloween.
Like when she does news stories about the amount of
money people are spending like thousands of dollars on their
yard decorations, that never was a thing.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
And the candy, oh buy a thirty pack, it's like
forty five dollars. Yeah, for like the smallest woods. It
was the kids ach your house over.

Speaker 10 (58:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (58:39):
Also where are you storing all of it?

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Because so the last weekend we were kind of talking
about also whether this was like an etiquette faux pas
or not. Last weekend, friends had their neighborhoods Halloween. For
whatever reason, their neighborhood was not doing Halloween this weekend.
I think it was like for sports or something like that.
And they have like a no US neighborhood with like
many many little catacombs, and so I'm like.

Speaker 6 (59:05):
Hey, bonas Halloween, We're going to their neighborhood. But their
neighborhood was like intense and they had some.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Yards where these people had it almost looked like their
yards were haunted houses where they had like you know,
some gigantic like barlow looking, you know, creature next to
something that was completely dismembered. I was surprised that Edie
was almost unfazed by all of these things, like moving
around and screaming and all that kind of stuff. But
at one point I asked, like my friend, I'm like,

(59:35):
what does people put this stuff year round?

Speaker 6 (59:37):
Like do they have an extra storage space, because like
I'm looking at the yard, I don't know what they
do for Christmas or whatever, but like this.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Is like tens of thousands of dollars of animatronics electricity.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Ye, rich people live differently than us because we used
to live adjacent to a rich neighborhood and they would
have like crews of Mexicans come in and do Halloween.

Speaker 8 (01:00:02):
He's like that with Christmas too. Yeah, it's like they
come with a dump truck and put your whole house up.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Right, and like there was like fifteen houses where and
you get like the real Snickers, Like it's incredible snickers.

Speaker 10 (01:00:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
I love the big skeletons though. Why the guy next
door to us, Uh, he used to keep his up
all year round and then decorate it to the different holiday.

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
That's what my neighborhood does. Yeah, that's what you have
to do because you you have no storage.

Speaker 8 (01:00:29):
There's nowhere in anybody's house to store a twenty foot skeleton.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
I like the ones where they are coming out of
the ground. Oh yeah, those are kind of cool.

Speaker 8 (01:00:37):
I'm I'm digging all the new lights and stuff, like
the flare that people are putting out in their yard.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
And I know Gardell like this is not his month.
He doesn't like Halloween.

Speaker 18 (01:00:47):
I am.

Speaker 8 (01:00:47):
I'm loving it. Yeah, Like people are going all out
now and I just don't remember that. I remember a
couple of people putting like, you know, a weird cat
in the window.

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Or something like. There was a couple things. It's not
like a full blown display. This is going to sound dumb,
but it's like technological advancements made it easy to come
up with toys that people like, and they quickly found
a willingness for people to put things in their yard
on Halloween that didn't exist because they didn't want it.
Like the blow ups, people are lukewarm on that. You

(01:01:18):
got have little kids really to do that. But the
animatronic stuff, now you've really tapped into horror fans who
want to have cool stuff around for Halloween, and they'll
spend money on it, man, like a lot of money.
I would venture to guess it won't be long before
Halloween decorations get very close to the amount of money

(01:01:41):
we spent on Christmas fake decorations.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
That is a great point, because I think it's becoming
the anti Christmas. I think people are so against whatever
Christmas stands for in this country that they're going bigger
on Halloween, like especially in California, where they're be.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
Get commercialism of it all, or they don't like that
gee thing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Yes, I think everything like California is always first in
this country, and I think it started there where it's
just kind of like, we don't do Christmas, we don't
have families, we don't care about people, we're selfish. Let's
go all out on Halloween.

Speaker 8 (01:02:17):
See that makes me think that it's all part of
like some billionaire's plan to just get us to buy
more stuff for Halloween. Yeah, like, let's create this fake
war so that we can really drum up the people
getting that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:30):
That's the kind of billionaire I would be. Everyone else
would be like talking about starlink and things like that,
and I'd be like, what if we made them by
ghost like they move around. I think Halloween's for kids,
like I love handing out candy to kids. But you
have to be careful when you say that. Well, I love.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Halloween, my dogs used to love it. I get my wife.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
But you know, like kind of Halloween has been overtaken
by this single people without kids crowd, right, definitely, kind
of like the gaze have kind of taken.

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
I knew we would get there the games and co
opted Halloween. Yes, I did have. The gays co opted
Halloween because they like dressing up, but they have a
big parties. I'm not saying anything wrong with the Jerry.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Holiday.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
Okay, they're they like dressing up, they like having parties.
You don't go to too many adult tellween parties anymore.
You know, was the last time you dressed up? And
what was it?

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Honestly, I got t boned at the corner of Murray
and Squirrel Hill and had to spend the night in
the hospital.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
I was dressed up as a nurse. Yes, you were
dressed up as a nurse and dressed up as a nurse.
Yes it was not a you know, it was the nineties.
It could have been anything like the gaze of co opted.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Yeah, I'm not a good looking woman. I'm a decent man.

Speaker 10 (01:04:16):
But no, I.

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
Was a nurse.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Yeah, they thought that they got the biggest kid. Yeah,
I was like life not life flight, but they it
was a big he couldn't carry you. Yeah, it was
a little bigger then Actually it was your life dragged
it was I don't remember, but basically, Fred's grateful dead.
Just Cassette saved my life. I did the car from

(01:04:41):
the inside out that we got hit so hard. Oh
my god. Yeah we got crushed. Yeah, a drunk driving
chick crushed us, ran through ran a red light and
crushed us.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Well everybody's okay, was okay?

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Yeah, I mean I still I still have back issues obviously,
but you know, I game.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Maybe who knows wearing a nurse's outfit for cross dressing kids.

Speaker 10 (01:05:08):
We were talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
We're talking about this yesterday getting in an accident in costume.
Kirsty Alley's parents were killed in a car accident. And
what were they dressed as for Halloween?

Speaker 6 (01:05:21):

ku Klux Klan And they've gotten a fatal car crash.

of those days.

Speaker 13 (01:06:41):
Yesterday, guys, Aaron Rodgers did his weekly Wednesday media session
and it was another one of those days where he
felt like sharing some of the perspective he's gleaned over
twenty one NFL seasons and at forty one years of age,
and some of the best stuff, at least from where
I was I had to do with how Rogers was

(01:07:02):
talking about Roman Wilson, second year receiver, lost his rookie
year to injury. He's trying to break in, trying to
become relevant, and he actually had himself a game Sunday
night against Green Bay. A lot we did, a lot
went wrong for the Steelers, but Roman Wilson four catches
on five targets seventy four yards. He averaged eighteen point

(01:07:22):
five a catch, and he caught his first receiving t d.
Rogers let us know yesterday he thought Wilson might show
up based against Green Bay. And when he talked about that,
he was talking about practice.

Speaker 14 (01:07:37):
Like I told Roman, you know, I thought he was
going to have a good week to start the week,
and I told him last Wednesday, said it's going to
be your week. This week, this kind of feeling, and
then Thursday is best practice of the season. So and
even in that, there was still three or four real
coachable moments. So and I told Rowan, you know, I've

(01:07:58):
liked him since the first time we got to know
each other. They're out in Malibu and I told them
back then, I'm going to coach you to your potential,
not to what I'm seeing. So I'm gonna hout into
a high standard. And I was really proud of him
in the game for the couple of reaction plays that
he made. And we just need to see consistency from him.
But it starts in practice. And I thought Playersday was

(01:08:19):
a really good practice for him. And today he had
another nice practice.

Speaker 13 (01:08:22):
And it's interesting when Rogers evaluates practice, he's not talking
about a bunch of practice catches.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
To Rogers, that would be the wrong way to go
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
But no, don't.

Speaker 14 (01:08:34):
I think that's a misnomer because every play is watched
from practice, So it's the attention to detail on the routes.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
I think that's that's sometimes lost.

Speaker 14 (01:08:44):
You might, even in a game situation, you might get
so enamored with what a guy's doing who's around the
ball getting the target. But a lot of times things
that happen in the succeeding weeks are because of things
you've seen on film on the backside of plays where
guy's not getting the ball and you see the detail
on the craft in the routes the other day. You know,
he got the ball on Thursday and a number of

(01:09:05):
plays and that was positive, but you know, there were
some other routes on the backside we didn't get the
ball where you started to see some of the craft
to show up some of the detail and the routes.
That gives you confidence that you can trust, and so
that's what it is. Also there were some correctable things.
So what I really like his attitude. You know, I

(01:09:27):
think of all the guys, you know, who we expected
to make an impact starting the season, you know, especially
him and Pat to not get off to the most
explosive starts, but then never once have a negative day
energy wise, attitude wise, is a credit to both of
those guys.

Speaker 4 (01:09:43):
I'm really proud of both of them.

Speaker 13 (01:09:45):
Wow, it's amazing and wow, you think some of the
things that Roman Wilson did yesterday might show up two
games from now yep. But it's all about, as Rogers said,
you've got to prove you're trustable. You got to run
your out and do your job and ex execute it
with precision and detail. Maybe you don't get the ball,
but when he sees out on film, when they go

(01:10:05):
over the practice tape, he knows if he calls a
certain play, all right, well, if this isn't there, that
will be and he can trust it that what these
young receivers must be gleaning gleaning from Aaron Rodgers is
remarkable and how that's going to impact the Steelers after
Rogers leaves, whether that's.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
After this year, or he's teaching him how to be
a pro, teaching him how to be a pro.

Speaker 8 (01:10:28):
I mean, if he looked at any of the tape
and saw what Pickens was doing when he wasn't getting
the ball, He's like, get rid of this guy, but.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
I'm not dealing with this. It's pretty remarkable stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:10:40):
And Rogers willing to do this kind of thing at
forty one years old and twenty one years into his career.
There's two reasons for that. One, he thinks that's what
he's supposed to be doing at this stage of the game.
And number two, it benefits Rogers as well as Roman Wilson, and.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
This is part of leadership.

Speaker 14 (01:11:00):
Also, I don't want to throw to a guy that
I haven't seen him consistently make the plays that I'm
expecting him to make. And there's a lot of conversations
going on as position coach is offense coordinator. But in
the end, it's the conversation that him and I have
that are most important because he needs to see the
game through my eyes and if I can make an
impact on him and Calvin and some of the young guys,

(01:11:22):
that's that's pretty special.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
As I move on, did you guys happen to see
the clip of the podcast John who was on this week,
I saw some clip of him talking. He's talking about
Rogers and he said, there's a play Rogers gets flushed
out and so he goes into the scramble drill and
he starts running back towards Rogers trying to, you know,

(01:11:45):
make a play. He's on the other side, so he
gets flushed out to the left.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
John, who's on the right side.

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
Of the field, backtracks scrambled drill trying to get closer
to the quarterback and make a play for him. After
that play, he said, Aaron Rodgers said to him, what
are you doing? Keep going? He's like, what do you mean,
keep going? He goes, I can make that throw. Keep going, like,
don't come back to me. If you would have kept flying,

(01:12:09):
I can hit you. And he's like, you could hit
me from there, Like the guy still has see the
arm and but he's throwing. He's talking to the tight
end about throwing from the left side of the field
across the field to the right sideline to hit his
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:12:30):
He can see him, he can see where he's going.
He can hear Micah Parsons behind him, the.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
Way he well, he didn't hear Michael.

Speaker 13 (01:12:37):
The crowd, Yeah, the way he processes of the crowd
and applies. It's just it's so professional and it's so special,
and they're in real danger of wasting it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
Yeah. Yeah, let's hope not.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Let's hope not.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
I think it's a big win this Sunday. I'm feeling
very good about it. Feeling very confident about the Steelers
beating the Colts on Sunday, because, yeah, you want to know,
why tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
The culture doing to lose?

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
I mean, that's like the Washington generals. I mean, they're
just they're just out, They're splitting the ball on their fingers.

Speaker 10 (01:13:09):
Just take it.

Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
You bet on the Washington Generals, I thought they were dude.
You watch the Colts on tape.

Speaker 13 (01:13:17):
Daniel Jones has to wake up every morning and just
pause and say, I can't believe where I ended up
like that.

Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
I'm in this situation layover in Minnesota. I had to
go through all that crash.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Guys laughed at me when I mentioned I liked him.
I liked him and Darnold.

Speaker 13 (01:13:34):
But you know, this is this is kind of a
way down the road discussion. But one of the revelations
of this season is these kind of discarded quarterbacks are commodities.
You can find the right one. It doesn't have to
be traded up into the top ten and draft a rookie.

Speaker 4 (01:13:53):
That's my light. Let somebody else break them in.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Yeah, get the second marriage.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
They figured everything out a little more grateful, not so bitchy.
Oh wow, oh god, all right, okay, grateful. No, I'm
just saying you, all right, I really uh, thanks for
bringing home the bacon.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
It means a lot. I'm so lucky, flatio.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
No, what I mean more, I thought you never had. Well,
let's enjoy it.

Speaker 13 (01:14:23):
I know you didn't take out the garbage, but that's
a little thing, and the big picture were good.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Okay, I forgive anything. It's not making everything into.

Speaker 4 (01:14:29):
A it's not all. Everything's not a test and a referendum.
That's what I was trying to Yeah, it sounds sounds
like a personal thing. Abby's got your news at the

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
Well, you know, we're getting set for the big game
one o'clock kickoff between the Steelers and the Colts. Yeah,
it really looks good. A lot of favorable matchups on
this one. I think. All right, well, hey, hold on here,
we just had two bad games in a row and
that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:16:47):
And I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Speaker 4 (01:16:51):
Oil tonight, cauz. All right, So well my first question
to you, Meryl is where's t J. Watt On?

Speaker 18 (01:17:00):
Well, listen, in all fairness, everybody tries to take care
of him each and every week.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
I'm just down here.

Speaker 18 (01:17:06):
They occupy it and listen, you occupy people said, Look, TJ.
Wat's going to take two or three people. Okay, that
right there is neutralizing an offense. So somebody has to
elevate their game or do something to offset that. You know,
I would say this, he didn't play the best game.
You know, actually as a whole. They lost contained. You know,

(01:17:29):
I don't know people know what that means, but when
you're the outside defender, you can't let a run get
outside you. And they did a bad job. I mean
all of them, not just TJ. Watt, but TJ Wat
had his mistakes. They let a lot of runs get
outside contained. They lost contained and almost like the packers
attacked that a little bit, like they noticed it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:50):
You know, I could, because they just did it too
many times, you know.

Speaker 18 (01:17:53):
I mean I can see how maybe in a game
where something starts unfolding which has happened before, you're like, oh, cow,
pull a cow. They're not doing they're not playing contained,
so let's start doing that. But it almost seemed like
they went right after it, and then the steeers never
got adjusted to it, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
But you know, listen, TJ.

Speaker 4 (01:18:11):
Watt does his job as good as anybody.

Speaker 18 (01:18:16):
But I think this year I've seen more more emphasis
to neutralize him than ever before.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
I mean it with two or three people.

Speaker 18 (01:18:23):
I mean, they widen the formation to him, they chip
a running back, they then run a tight end through him,
and then they have a tackle waiting for him. Well,
I mean I was just gonna tell you this. When
they do that, he still has times where he gets
close to the quarterback. When they don't do that, he's
always at the quarterback and that's why they do it.
They just they're not gonna allow him to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
Why do you think Arthur Smith got away from the
run in the second half against the Packers.

Speaker 18 (01:18:49):
I don't know it was effective, you know, Yeah, yeah,
they're you know, they're the way they're running the football,
the way they're running on the perimeter, their pitch plays,
their man blalking schemes, the combination of it all is
has been effective. I completely agree with you. You know,
I don't know why they got away with it. Are

(01:19:10):
away from it. And sometimes that could happen because of
who's your quarterback, you know, because he is so good,
you know, and you and you and you trust his abilities,
uh to make plays for you. But you know, you know,
there's two things that actually happened in that game that
are that could have went the other way. When they
had that that hit on Love and the ball the

(01:19:33):
tight end ended up catching it. Yes, and Elliott gets
hurt on I'm like that That that to me, to.

Speaker 2 (01:19:40):
Me, okay, that was the biggest play of the game.
I like see that.

Speaker 18 (01:19:43):
There's plays like that where anytime you actually hit a quarterback,
listen in Super Bowls. This is that's exactly how the
Titans lost the game against the Rams. They hit Kurt Warner.
If they wouldn't have hit Kurt Warner, they would have
probably won that Super Bowl. I used to I can,
I can give you a litany of times a quarterback
has been hit but been able to get rid of

(01:20:03):
the football, and the offense always catches the ball because
they have eyes on the ball. Defenders usually they do not,
and they can react much quicker. So that happened against
the Bars and Colts. Give me at the various loss.
I mean, it almost happens every week where a quarterback
gets hit. The balls under thrown, offense always wins. And
I saw that play, I was like, ah man. And

(01:20:24):
then when they threw that one in the middle of
the field, that's huge play where you have three defenders
and neither one of them can get to it. Because
that's a Jordan Love It's still kind of one of
his flaws, like he'll make he'll gamble on a throw
that you just don't need to based on where he
is in the game, you know, in the playoff game

(01:20:45):
when they're still got two minutes left and he's in
San Francisco and he's running to the right and he
throws it right in the middle of the field.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
It's like third down. You're like, why not third down?
You get two minutes, don't do it now? Now with
three seconds? Yeah, but not not too in it.

Speaker 20 (01:21:00):
And they caught it, you know, And I was like, yeah,
and then they, I don't know, too technical man, dumb
it up a little for it.

Speaker 7 (01:21:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
Yeah, But what I say is you're going into this
going into this game. I uh yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:21:17):
Here's what I do love about the Packers, which it
was going to be a problem, and I actually love.
I mean, I'd like to study it because they do
such a good job. People probably wouldn't notice it as much.
But they run a bunch of screens. You know, they're
they're one man screens. Like we think of a traditional screen.
I think everybody know what the screenplay is. You know
your offs, you line leaks out, your back sneaks out,

(01:21:39):
and then you dump them the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
Okay, that's a traditional screen.

Speaker 18 (01:21:41):
These guys run these tight end screens where they'll run
them out of the flat, but they already got two
defenders ready to block.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
They're not running route, they're blocking.

Speaker 18 (01:21:50):
Oh, they'll have one back release and the other black
back flare and they'll throw the back of the ball
another screen to the left. They did so many screens
or effective and they they knew that. We struggled with
identifying our personnel and when you bunch people up, you
put three people together and then you release them different

(01:22:12):
ways to our linebackers struggle with that at times.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
And they got us a few times on that. One
of them things was even for a touchdown.

Speaker 18 (01:22:19):
But they you know, those guys are gonna have to
get better at that because the Colts do a little
bit of that, not quite as much, but they do
a little bit of it.

Speaker 13 (01:22:27):
Now, are the Colts a really good defense or are
they to a degree the beneficiaries of always playing with
a double digit lead.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Well things combinations, Listen. I do believe this is true.
In the end of the year.

Speaker 18 (01:22:41):
Statistically, the best defense in football plays the last the
least amount of snaps. It's I think it's almost true
the best defense does. But I don't think the best
defense has ever played the most snaps during the season.
I think I don't think that's ever happened, but tonight
you can correct me if I'm wrong, But I think
it's almost true. So their offense obviously, you know, controls

(01:23:09):
the game so that that truly helps them. But I'll
tell you this one thing that you'll notice about them,
Like they don't make mistakes, man, and everybody gets to
the ball like it is, and they got a really
good defensive line. They I mean, they are buttoned up,
like it gets hard to make mistakes. They make very
few mistakes. If you go throughout a course of the
game and watch them weekend, we kind of like, nah,

(01:23:31):
maybe you saw a couple of mistakes they may have made,
but they don't hurt themselves, Like they do not do
anything to give you anything. They get to the ball,
they play sounds smart. Then they do some things thematically
that are a problem too, you know, so anyone they
just you know, play a vanilla and just like, okay,
we're good. I mean, they are buttoned up and they

(01:23:51):
are sound and they're complete, but they do some things they.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
Can create a lot of problems to.

Speaker 8 (01:23:57):
How scared should we be of this offense because from
the running back to Danny Dimes, finding new life, to
the receivers, to the tight end. It seems like they
do everything really well. Forgot the Steelers. Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:24:11):
And the line, well that's that's where I start. They're
they're pretty dang good. I mean, that's a concern. Listen,
that's not a mystery. I'm not telling you anything. You're like, oh,
you're never gonna hear that, alas. I mean, they are
wicked and they here's what makes them great. I mean,
and and this what this honestly what helps this will

(01:24:33):
if you're gonna be a champions are the things you
have to do?

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
Like you hear like, what do you hear? Oh they
run the ball well? Well, what does that mean? I mean,
that does that doesn't tell me anything? Okay, when you.

Speaker 18 (01:24:42):
Run the ball well and you have a lot of phases,
so you're a strong side running team, yes?

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
Are they weak side running team? Yes? Are they outside
running team? Yes? Are they? Are they a north and south?
Are they a screen team? Are they a draw team? Yes?

Speaker 18 (01:24:58):
They can do all these things. And you got to
defend all of that. And then the guy who's had
in the football to them, are they having the football
to like to get that guy down? Is a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
I mean he's got are you talking about strength? Balanced speed?
I mean elusiveness? I mean he has and he's a
wise runner too, now, I mean he's a wise runner.

Speaker 10 (01:25:20):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
It's that's kind of a hard one to explain.

Speaker 18 (01:25:24):
But people that I mean like good NFL runners, man,
they're patient, They press the whole. When I say that,
they create big running lanes and they create more opportunities
for him because they know how to do it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
You know, they just don't go around up there and
hit the whole.

Speaker 18 (01:25:40):
A are wise or he's a wise runner, man, And
when he and just make one mistake, have somebody just
not be in their gap because I would say this
all week.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
You got, I'm sure they're talking about this.

Speaker 18 (01:25:51):
Listen, getting your gap, Okay, if he's going to the
left away from you, and your gap is like eight
gaps away from where he's going, your gap and stay
in your gap because he's coming to your gap.

Speaker 21 (01:26:02):
There's a chance to come to your gap, and you
got you got to tell people that, and you get
and take over your gap and don't leave your gap.

Speaker 18 (01:26:13):
I just it's I'm telling you, this is that type
of runner that you just cannot make a mistake on
and he finds it. I mean, but he's what he's
done all year is just it's almost like every big
run he's had. I mean, then they make big holes
for him too. There's times where they just they just
mall people and move people, and they have all different
ways to run the ball too. Man, it's just terrifying.

Speaker 4 (01:26:32):
May we're running really late. But I just want to
ask you one thing, and really quickly. How bad does
Darius Slay's ola save you? And Williams go over in
the locker room when he just avoids tackling him and
lets him waltz into the end zone.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
Listen, those type of things. I just don't even know
how you go. And here's what I do.

Speaker 18 (01:26:54):
What I what disturbs means? How do you go in
your meeting room with your peers and watch it? You know,
it's it's not what's going all arge. When I got
to sit down with my peers, I've just never understood that.
I just honestly, I didn't even know.

Speaker 10 (01:27:11):
I have.

Speaker 18 (01:27:12):
I've never been there, and I'm glad for that because
that's that's not how you play football.

Speaker 4 (01:27:17):
Oh it is not. Meryll Hodge brought to you by
Castle Rock Hormone Health in South Hills, Kia this morning

good deal.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Abby has a quick news update before we get to
pick sex.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
And is this hour brought to you by Window Nation.
Breezy and rainy today a high of fifty two. If
you were hoping to throw a Halloween rager in a
rented mansion this weekend, you might want to check your
reservation because Airbnb's party police are already on the case.
For the fifth year running, Airbnb is deploying its advanced
anti party technology across the US and Canada to keep

(01:29:15):
things civilized during spooky season. The company's message is clear,
ghost goblins and ghouls are welcome, but unauthorized parties not
so much. This year's crackdown is powered by Airbnb's most
aggressive detection system yet, using AI to identify risky bookings
as they're made.

Speaker 4 (01:29:34):
This sounds like the anti graffiti technology they had in
the Naked Gun.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
The algorithm evaluates details like how far a guest lives
from the rental, how long they're staying, what kind of
property it is, and when they booked it. If a
reservation looks suspicious, say a one night's day at a
big suburban home booked by somebody who lives five minutes away,
the system can block it automatically, and it does work.
Last Halloween alone, Airbnb says it prevented over forty four

(01:30:04):
thousand potential party bookings. I don't know how they know
that these things were parties, but the company has seen
similar results on other big holidays, including New Year's Eve,
Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July.

Speaker 4 (01:30:17):
I don't understand why people still do air and airbnb
for any other reason than to have a party, because
it's just not cost prohibitive anywhere, like going to hotels
as it's not cheap enough to justify, right, Yeah, going
to hotels used to be cost prohibitive, and then Airbnbs
the fees they throw on all of this stuff are ridiculous,
and not to mention, there are a million stories of

(01:30:40):
the temporary landlords being completely obtrusive while you're staying there.
You know that doesn't happen to you at a hotel.
I've never stated Airbnb and I travel everywhere. I've done
vrbos in the past and those have always worked out fine.
What's the difference? I think they just it's like think
uber lyft, you know what I mean. Like the house

(01:31:01):
was like crap. They're usually vacation homes, so you get
them like in Florida in places like that, and it
just has a little more like.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
Quality control I think.

Speaker 4 (01:31:13):
Although, and it may have slipped through the years because
I haven't used it as much lately, but you know,
ten fifteen years ago, I used it all the time.
But now the fees get racked up so much. You
look at the price, you're like, hey, that's not bad
if six of us split that, and then you hit like, okay,
let's let's book it. And then all of a sudden
you're like, wait, where'd that eight hundred extra dollars come from?

Speaker 6 (01:31:35):
Exactly?

Speaker 3 (01:31:36):
I did that on a vacation I don't know how
many years ago now where I was like, I'm like
this is going to be totally affordable, and then when.

Speaker 6 (01:31:41):
I was getting ready to check out, I was like
one thousand dollars in taxes like that, that's the whole vacation.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
There you go on Ticketmaster's running Airbnb now yeah, yeah,
booking fee, it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
Service fee, Hey you booked a US fee. There's a
fee for everything.

Speaker 8 (01:31:57):
It does seem like all of these entrepreneurs that have
popped up over the last decade or so, like we
bought ten properties and now we flip them and turn
them into moneymakers for us every week. But you go
in there and everything is either falling apart or is
broken and taped together underneath.

Speaker 4 (01:32:15):
And I think people are just getting hip to it,
being like this stinks.

Speaker 3 (01:32:19):
Yeah, so many airbnbs are just particle board to me. Yes,
you know, it's like nothing's real anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:32:27):
It's a flip with like the lowest quality finishes you
could possibly.

Speaker 6 (01:32:31):
Have, right, and there's a camera in the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
Yeah, well watch. In a lot of towns like New Orleans,
there's legislation to get rid of all this stuff because
they think it's ruining, it's hollowing out in these kinds
of cities Nashville, New Orleans, and it's all landlords and
in like Ski Town's breck and Ridge Vail stuff like that,
where it's just all second home owners that it's not
their primary residence and it exists to be a hotel

(01:32:56):
for that person, and now they're taxing the Bejesus out
of them in some of those counties, so that people
can't afford to keep them unless they literally were housed,
you know, three hundred and sixty five days a year. Uh.
And New Orleans has really suffered from it. And because
they're like this is we're losing our city. It's just
all these venture capitalists are buying every home that goes

(01:33:18):
up for sale. They just buy it, renovate it crappily,
like you said, and then throw it out there. And
it's not a family residence. It's just existing to be
a temporary residence. So they're they're changing the zoning down
there to stop that from happening. I do Airbnb every
year for the frozen four. It's great, Okay, well then
you have to go to experiences. Can you forget everything

(01:33:40):
we've said?

Speaker 13 (01:33:40):
We get like five or six guys, everybody get a
big place, everybody gets around. Conceptually, that's great. Yeah, we
haven't into this text thing you're talking about. I mean,
it's the cost is better than a hotel and it's
more comfortable. Can you have hotel sect in an airbnb?

Speaker 22 (01:33:55):
Well it depends you're with I guess, and it depends yes,
I mean that's the you know, is there extra towels
at the Airbnb?

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
How messy are you getting that?

Speaker 17 (01:34:08):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:34:12):
Hey, yeah, all right, you don't know me man. It's
time for our Pick six segment. Rere Bill and I
give you six games to choose from this weekend that
we think are absolutely, definitely maybe gonna win.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
And let's start it with the Ravens at the Dolphin. Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:34:28):
By the way, Pick six is brought to you by
Bett Park's sports book and casino app gambling problem called
one dy Hunter Gambler. Start with the Ravens at the
Dolphins plus seven and a half.

Speaker 8 (01:34:36):
Mike McDaniel's seat is so hot that all of South
Florida smells like ass hair right now, Tuus said, The
Dolphins just need to clean up the little things, yeah,
like tackling, blocking, running, passing, kicking, showing up to players
only meetings, winning football games, and all that burnt ass hair.

Speaker 4 (01:34:57):
The Ravens, on the other hand, just need to clean up.

Speaker 8 (01:35:00):
The practice participation reports because they have Lamar Jackson listed
as fully undead this week and he already looks like
zombie Michael Jackson in the Thriller videos. So the Finns
better lock the doors when it gets close to midnight.
The Dolphins are one to oh after two a tongue
of Victrolla threw his teammates under the bus and disrespected

(01:35:21):
his coach. So to keep that streak going, this week,
he's making sure all Dolphins fans know they're white trash
and the owner is a cheapskatee and the Ravens are
one and oh after Lamar cleaned out the video games
the ping pong tables in the cornhole. So to keep
that streak going, he's announced that the Ray Lewis statue
will travel with the team until the Ravens defense can

(01:35:41):
obstruct something. Lamar is undead and so are the Ravens.
Take the Ratbirds in a thriller tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:35:49):
That's the Bears at the Bengals plus two. How are
things going for the Bears? Well, they're less than a
field goal favorite over an under five hundred team that's
starting a forty year old quarterback who eats at Applebee's
by himself, and they're fresh off a home defeat to
the previously zero to seven New York Jets. Safe to
say Ben Johnson is still always away from restoring their

(01:36:10):
monsters of the Midway reputation more like the Mama Luke
so to Midway. At this point, Caleb Williams has struggled
with more than just what nail polished to wear to
lou Malinatis. He doesn't have exactly a deep dish of
receivers to choose from this weekend. Two of his top
wideouts have been ruled out, Lucier Burden, the third in
Alameda Zakias.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
God bless you.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):
It makes you wonder without those guys, who's Caleb gonna
wildly overthrow to this week head.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
They did sign safety CJ.

Speaker 4 (01:36:40):
Gardner Johnson yesterday to trap shorp the defensive backfield and
reunite him with former decoordinator Dennis Allen in Chicago, so
now he's a bear. But the last time CJ. Gardner
Johnson played on Soldier Field with the Saints Bears, wide
receiver Javon Whims tried to rip CJ's gold chain off
from around his neck and then punched him in the head. Thankfully, Now,
the only way you get treated like that in Chicago
is if an agent thinks you look awfully tanned for

(01:37:01):
this time of year. And acquiring Gardner Johnson obviously Ben
Johnson and Ryan Poles think there's nothing wrong with the
Bears that a few unsportsmanlike conduct penalties can't fix.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
This is, of course, if, a big if.

Speaker 4 (01:37:15):
If Flacco's good to go this weekend, which it's looking
like it might not be good for Joe Flacco. He's
officially got an ac joint sprain, which incidentally, that was
my cousin's rapper name. But for Flacco, it means he
might not be able to go on Sunday, which leaves
the Bengals in the incapable hands of Jake Browning, which
on Halloween weekend is the scariest ordeal conceivable this weekend

(01:37:40):
in the Queen's City.

Speaker 17 (01:37:42):
Prepare for the horror of the most in nip quarterbacking
you've ever seen this Sunday. Prepare for the Browning on
November two to can't ride the Escalooza straight into the brownik.

Speaker 4 (01:38:07):
He But who knows? I mean, look, Joe is an
old guy, you know. I mean, Flacco's like old guys.
Joints are always hurting with changes in barometric pressure. Maybe
his sore shoulder is just a sign it it's gonna
rain on Sunday, and maybe he'll play. But one thing's
for sure. If Caleb can't get it together against this
sloppy d, the Windy City is gonna let him know
just how much he blows when he gets on flacose

(01:38:29):
arm is gonna fall off. Take the Bears next, Panthers
at the Packers minus thirteen and a half.

Speaker 8 (01:38:35):
Jordan Love came into Pittsburgh last week and cucked our QB.
I haven't seen that many Love completions since Caligula. And
now the Packers get the Carolina Panthers, who just shut their.

Speaker 4 (01:38:48):
Eye out last week with the red rifle.

Speaker 8 (01:38:50):
Andy Dalton took more sacks than a sauna bench at
La Fitness.

Speaker 6 (01:38:55):
They zero.

Speaker 8 (01:38:58):
The only consistent thing in Caroline this year has been
the Punters cardio. Meanwhile, Jordan Love already looks like Bart
Starr dippting Aaron Rodgers. And maybe it was just the
Steelers defense making him look like Farv in The Wrangler.
Jean's prime just picking apart soft zones in a local park.
Either way, he's throwing with confidence, and when you're facing

(01:39:18):
the Panthers, that confidence usually turns into forty burgers if
he throws for less than three hundred yards and three
touchdowns this week. It's only because he feels bad for
them and his arm gets sore. The Panthers defense isn't bad,
it's just tired and they're not great, but they're relatable.
They don't lay down, but you can tell they want to.

(01:39:39):
They show more fight after the game because it's over.
Don't snooze.

Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
Take the Packers next, Niners at the Giants plus two
and a half. The forty nine ers make the cross
country track to Metlefe Stadium, where they take on the
New York Giants, who are without superstar running back Cam Scataboo. Scataboo,
Can you do the fundingle? No, he cannot because his
angle is mangled worse than Freddie Mercury mangled his mouth retainer.

(01:40:06):
Sure did. Dable ran into the blue tent and raised
Holy hell. Last month when Dart was concussed after watching
Russ play only one down, an understandable reaction. Quite honestly,
imagine how that fell for Russell Wilson, the head coach,
completely willing to take a one hundred thousand dollars fine
to rush his concussed quarterback out on the field screaming,
and anybody would listen to get that incompetently positive half

(01:40:27):
leet off the field. Kind of hard to post go
Big Blue on Instagram after the game which everyone saw
your coach flip over a tent leg he was a
female worker after a hurricane, trying to get you out
of there. Seeing as though he has Tyrone Tracy and
Devin Singletary still to tote the rock, he probably Dable
probably refrained from barging into ther when Scataboo's Boo boo

(01:40:50):
was being fixed. Of course, that probably didn't stop Jackson
Dart from headbutting the surgeon for good luck. What's up
with these idiots in the head budding? I mean, Dart's
not as bad with it as Scataboo, but like by
the time that guy's forty, Scataboo's gotta have a smaller
vocabulary than Coco the Gorilla. Brian Dables hilarious though. I
like when he gets all mad and red face on
the sidelines. He looks like an infected big Toe wearing

(01:41:12):
a Giants hoodie. See, the injuries are piling up for
New York because the Giants are already living on a
deserted island. They got no neighbors. Malik the unique freak
is out along with Kataboo, and it won't matter that
San Francisco hasn't seen this many injuries on their side
since the earthquake of nineteen oh six. Then Niners are

(01:41:33):
without their own injury issues because aren't without their own
injury issues, rather because Brock Purdy is limited in practice.
So you might see the return of the Mac behind
center for forty nine ers. Hey mac Jones is four
and two as a starter, And with all those people
hurt that the g Man have, all they gotta do
is hand it to McCaffrey and let Christianliu his time,

(01:41:55):
his cub And it's time for this Christian to perform
some conversions of the first down variety. This one's a layup.
Don't sweat the one pm East Coast kickoff with the
cross country travel from San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
The Niners ain't leaving their heart there.

Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Take the Niners next, Cardinals at the Cowboys minus two
and a half. The over might hit during the corn
flip on this game. These teams are.

Speaker 8 (01:42:17):
Both sloppier than Honey Boo Boo eating a man witch
on the shaky floor on Noah's Ark. Jonathan Jannons said
to this presser this week that the Cardinals just need
to execute better. That's a fun word choice for a
guy that assaults his players. He added, we just need
to make sure we're taking a stab in the dark
and not giving ourselves a puncher's chance. And then he

(01:42:40):
broke one of the reporter's fingers and bit a baby.
But the coach can't hit what he can't reach, and
Kyler Murray would just start biting his ankles. Anyways, the
QB in the cupboard is back this week and looking
to fly around out there like a dingleberry on a dune.
Buggy Dak was whack in Denver last week and the

(01:43:00):
defense looked like its smoked crack and sat on its nutsack.
George Pickens said the goal this season was to go undefeated.
He said that last week they're.

Speaker 4 (01:43:10):
Three four and one. They lost the first game of
the season. Being bad at math actually does add up
for George.

Speaker 8 (01:43:19):
I could see him quitting on equations and fistfighting his
teacher down the hallway during the SATs and jump punching
the blackboard. Don't worry about the math in this one.
Just take the over and the cards with the points next.

Speaker 4 (01:43:34):
The main event Colts at the Steelers Steelers plus three
Halloween weekend, nothing scary to meet the moment and contemplating
what might happen with Daniel Indiana Jones in the Temple
of Rooney. Danny Dives is on a roll of quarters,
and after thirty two of them so far this year,
the Colts are seven and one and Jones has the
third most passing yards in the league. The only person

(01:43:57):
that moving to Indianapolis has worked out better for is
Pat mack and the person that sells tank tops to
Pat McAfee. The Colts Horseshoe finally stopped letting all the
luck run out for the first time since well the
luck ran out Andrew luckerby precisely, and fans are now
actually going to the games at Lucas Oil Stadium dressed
as Indiana Jones.

Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
Contribute to Daniel's.

Speaker 4 (01:44:19):
Success at quarterback, I'd suggest trying to counter it by
dressing up as Indiana Jones's nemesis this weekend. From the
Raiders of the Lost Ark Quest, we don't need any
more Nazis running around these days, and it's not just
Danny that the Steelers have to make room for. That's
a nineteen fifty three reference out there for all of
the grandfathers who are listening to and the kids who
love the nick at night. I'm not sure our secondary

(01:44:40):
can keep up with the Jones' petses. But also, Jonathan
Taylor is running his way to league MVP status. He's
got fourteen touchdowns this year, and with the Steelers run
defense being more unpredictable than Kanye West after shotgunning as Celsius,
he could run for a dozen more at Akroture on Sunday,
That is, if the shoddy field literally isn't turned to
q wicksand by now, seriously, the farman ant Hills out

(01:45:02):
there fix the field.

Speaker 2 (01:45:04):
It's an embarrassment.

Speaker 4 (01:45:05):
And what's the first thing Mike Tomlin complains about in
his weekly pressed slot feeding on Tuesday after Jordan ludd
Love torches them for three hundred and sixty yards, what's
his beef?

Speaker 2 (01:45:15):
The offense kicked too many field goals.

Speaker 4 (01:45:17):
You're the one that wanted to kick out physician heal
thyself fourth and three from the thirty two. Jalen Warren's
averaging seven a carry, and you trot bas out there
to take his chances on that cow pasture with a
fading pit logo that got airbrushed over with a Steeler's
logo like it's one of Graham Plattner's accidental Nazi tattoos.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
Oops, now it's a Calvin n Hobbs.

Speaker 4 (01:45:37):
Sorry, you could have gone for a dair coach. Blaming
the offense for the loss of the Packers is like
Sidney Sweeney blaming her bad reviews on her enormous cans.
That's the only thing making people think it might be
worth watching. And how does Tarrell Austin still have a
job after the way last season ended? Simply bringing him
back at all for the season is like trusting Chauncey
Billups to run your poker game fairly guaranteed not to

(01:46:00):
go home a winner. Steelers are home dogs for the
second week in a row. And you guys, now people
want to get rid of Renegade. Trell Austin made people
hate Renegade? How could you do that? To Dennis de
Young Perrel that being said, I really like us on Sunday,
I mean I do. The Cults are due for a loss,
and the Steelers are annoying and win the games they

(01:46:21):
have no business winning, and lose the games they should
get people fired for losing, but nobody gets fired, and
the vicious cycle goes on and on, and we'll probably
go into Week fourteen and have to beat the Dolphins
to get into the postseason and we'll lose that one
by thirty because the standard is substandard, but it is predictable,
which is why I don't just like the Steelers. I
love the Black and Gold on Sunday, Baby, take the

(01:46:41):
money line and watch Rogers turn Rowan Wilson into Jerry Rice.
Take the Black and Gold, and that's it for us.
They're six that will probably most guaranteed maybe well likely win.
You're dine Up Bears.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
You damn right.

Speaker 4 (01:46:55):
I'm gonna die on Up Bears. They're gonna be good.
You are gonna die on that Bears hill. It almost
did last Sunday, that's for sure. Abby will have your
news when we come back at the top of the hour,
but you'll be joined by Billy Gardell when you have it,
he'll be live in studio with us more with Joe
Bartnick and Big Cat joins us at eight forty five.

Speaker 2 (01:47:15):
Something for the answer is always yes. When you build
the menu, you know what that would make my day?

Speaker 4 (01:47:21):
So much better.

Speaker 19 (01:47:21):
We all request the Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on
dv E from the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known.

Speaker 4 (01:47:29):
For x dav E Sports. All Right, our buddy Joe
Barnick is live in studio with us this morning in
anticipation of tonight's Joe Barnick and Friends show at the
Improv at the Waterfront, which will include friends of the
show Jeff Conkle, also Mike Sidell, also Marcus Cox and
a few other Surprise Poppins. Surprise Poppins. That's gonna be

(01:47:51):
a great show to be fun. Is a wide still
in town. I saw he was here for the game.
Oh he was, yeah, for the Steelers game. Recently married.

Speaker 2 (01:48:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:48:04):
Get him on stage, I would. I would love to
have to give him a call. Second marriage for no, first,
that's his first, so he doesn't. Yeah, he has not
experienced all that you have. He's not in the sweet
spot like you know. Yeah, second one is really sweet.
He's still Daniel Jones with the Giants. Yes, that's right,
he has a nice lady. Yeah that congratulations. Yeah, he's

(01:48:25):
Drake May with the Patriots. So what is what are
the vikings in this scenario? Just the slumpbuster, Like somebody
dall of America picked up some things.

Speaker 1 (01:48:37):
Yeah, you know all of America. That's like Mount Rushmore.
That's like the Arch and that's another overrated thing you
think is going to be great. Mount Rushmore is overrated.
Oh it is completely this cynical with the penguins doing
as well as they're doing a.

Speaker 4 (01:48:54):
Rushmore, because to me, that is one of the most like,
you know, human, isn't it one of the seven wonders
of the world. More guy's heads in rock.

Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
Yeah, I mean it is if you think, but you
can only see it from like so far away. It's
like you're on Mount Washington looking at the steel building.

Speaker 4 (01:49:08):
You can't get closed. You're not in the Hitchcock movie.
A friend of mine, Jerry, said the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:49:13):
And you drive two hours from each direction because it's
right in the middle of nowhere, and you get there
and you're like, well, how do I get I asked
the ranger.

Speaker 2 (01:49:18):
I go, how do I get up to there?

Speaker 7 (01:49:20):
To go?

Speaker 1 (01:49:20):
He goes, oh, you can't get there. You're literally just
he could buy a postcard and have the same view.

Speaker 2 (01:49:25):
Oh, well that does suck. I didn't know that, Yes, exactly,
I see a day of your life.

Speaker 4 (01:49:30):
Well, I really did. North by Northwest. Is it screwed
up a lot of people's perception of what a day
at Mount Rushmore? Yes, well, because the villain has a
beautiful mid century modern house on top of Mount Rushmore.
Like that's obviously not there.

Speaker 1 (01:49:48):
But you think you'd be looking up like George Washington's boogers. Right,
you're right, No, you are nuggers. Wouldn't They should put
a bar up there, Wouldn't that be cool? They should
at least let you walk close to what Mike I'm
telling you, you are like at least five hundred yards
away from Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:50:05):
You were really down on the Saint Louis arch as
well during our commercial.

Speaker 1 (01:50:08):
Yeah, I think it's just like yeah, it's like you
think it's gonna be amazing, and you're like, oh, I
like the I'm not against it.

Speaker 10 (01:50:17):
I never.

Speaker 13 (01:50:19):
I never got to go up at though, so who knows,
maybe a little you probably wouldn't enjoy it because it's
a little constricting.

Speaker 2 (01:50:26):
I heard it's janky. I heard the elevator's janky.

Speaker 4 (01:50:28):
To take what I want to hear compartments it's I
won't do it again. I did it a long time ago. Uh,
I'm done with that now.

Speaker 2 (01:50:39):
Someone told me some smells like pee in there too.
I never noticed that, but.

Speaker 1 (01:50:44):
You know how he's always crowded. To him, everybody goes there,
it's always crowded, and so no one goes. It's like
the Yogi Bear. Yeah, got no, because you know, you
see it your whole life, like, oh, the arch is
on every commercial and you drive and it's like, all
right's it?

Speaker 2 (01:50:57):
What about Space Needle?

Speaker 4 (01:50:58):
Space is awesome? Yeah? Yeah, I agree, Space Needle I
think is like an oppressive Holy Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:51:04):
Yeah, it was like the first one too.

Speaker 4 (01:51:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51:06):
This tower Toronto is the other one. I've never been
on top of that, there's other things to do in Toronto.
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:51:13):
Yeah, there's nothing to do with throw fish and go
to the Space need in those days.

Speaker 1 (01:51:18):
Yeah, I have it, you know when I first started
going there. But now it's pretty I know. I say,
that was a great town.

Speaker 4 (01:51:22):
I love.

Speaker 1 (01:51:23):
Kind of got too much, Like you know how they
ruined San Francisco. They kind of ruined Seattle. The tech bros. Yeah,
tech bros ruin it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:30):
All they do. Yeah, they really. I hate to be
a downer, but I welcome to Pittsburgh, where thankfully that's
not happening.

Speaker 1 (01:51:36):
Oh wait, San Francisco, though, is really bouncing back in
a great way.

Speaker 4 (01:51:41):
I have, I have not, well, I went last summer,
but my friends who lived there have said that that
it is. There is a market difference out there in
terms of the sort of cultural vibe. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:51:52):
I only really hang around North Beach because it's the
Italian center and that's where my friends live in. Yeah,
North Beach is it's It's abound every night now. It's
like the streets are packed, the restaurants are filled. People
A dude, you gotta go.

Speaker 4 (01:52:04):
That's City Lights, Bookstar Resuvio's there, you know, the fake place,
so whatever was it gone?

Speaker 2 (01:52:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:52:11):
Yeah, but just such great Italian food. They have tons
of great Yeah. I don't even know if that's still there.
There's just new restaurants all the time, but just people, bands,
this night life, just women.

Speaker 4 (01:52:23):
The Sinking Rose is a restaurant that is all garlic,
and when you go in, there's pickled garlic like on
the table, and everything you get is smothered in different
kinds of prepared garlic. Every dish is infused garlic, like
it is. It's like it is a vampire's nightmare.

Speaker 1 (01:52:41):
Malanari's they used to have my I dedicated my CD
to them, but that's.

Speaker 2 (01:52:44):
What it was, a restaurant.

Speaker 1 (01:52:46):
My heart attack. No, it's a heart attack there. No,
but I I ate all the c I ate the curate,
salved the beats for like three weeks they came back.
I was I every day because I've worked on my
CD there like every night doing sets. But they're Anthony
Bourdaine kind of ruined it a little bit, and the
pandemic kind of made it not as it's a little different,

(01:53:06):
but still the best Italian sandwich.

Speaker 4 (01:53:08):
Where's the best Italian sandwich in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia?

Speaker 1 (01:53:12):
Well, first of all, Danny Danny's. Dandy's HOGI is the best.
Love Danny's the best.

Speaker 4 (01:53:20):
I've never set one person there that was like, holy hell,

Speaker 2 (01:53:24):
Yep, I'm overdue. I always get Danny's and Rudy's mixed up.

Speaker 7 (01:53:27):
Though.

Speaker 8 (01:53:28):
Rudy's is like out in the East where I grew,
and Danny's is out here. Rudy's is Gardell. Yeah, that's
that's where you know, people from our end of town went.
It's great it's on the cutest things I like about Pittsburgh.
People think the sandwiches a right.

Speaker 4 (01:53:41):
I see you know, Mike, who is a Pittsburgh born
and raised And were you born here and moved there
or are you born there? Yeah? Yeah, up here the
family in Philly. I consider myself a Pitts you are,
But I got to call it like I see it
with the sandwiches in Philly, the Nicks, the Knicks in
the reading reading terminal was the best, poor the pork

(01:54:04):
roasted pork, roccoli, robbed sharp provolo.

Speaker 13 (01:54:09):

I'll take you to a place called Lee's hogy Hut
in Abington, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
Okay, Hey, I love sandwiches. That's my thing.

Speaker 1 (01:54:19):
Everywhere I go, I'm the absolutely poor man's bordain. It's
my favorite thing to do. Every town I know where
to get a sandwich.

Speaker 4 (01:54:26):
Now, we don't have to get redundant about the cheese
steaks because everybody knows by Now, Hey, while you're talking
about Philadelphia, I want to make time to just wish
our friends at WMMR in Philadelphia. Send them our deepest sympathy.
A legendary DJ at WMMR in Philadelphia past Pierre Robert. No, yes,

(01:54:46):
I listened to that guy growing up. Man. Yeah, he
died at the age of seventy yesterday, Wow, and all
of Philadelphia is mourning him. But like he was a
a classic rock radio legends only seventy and he looked
really good for seventy. I mean he always had that big,
long hair. And I never met him. I never knew him,

(01:55:07):
but you could. You couldn't be in this industry and
not know about Pierre and the impact he like he
he uh, really emmbodied the old school of FM radio
and made it continue to work as it became the
world became digital and everything. He just really represented like

(01:55:29):
an analog past of rock and roll and but never
was a dinosaur about the changes in music and was
a guy that you know, that's like, you know how
it is, but like people trust Michelle and they trust
Sean and Chad and everybody, and that was it, Like
this guy knows what he's doing. And he did countless

(01:55:50):
interviews with bands over you know, a fifty year career,
and he was a legend. So he does look great.
He looks fantastic for his age. It was really sad
and I know they're all hurting over there because that
was sudden. Yeah. What's the other Philly station? I can't
even remember because I was listening to MMR, but there
was two and there was kind of like a little
bit of a battle, but not much.

Speaker 2 (01:56:12):
I don't know, but yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:56:14):
Brian Adams was on stage in Philadelphia last night and
he dedicated one to him. There's gonna be a lot
of people dedicating songs to him. He's he was an
influential guy that musicians.

Speaker 10 (01:56:23):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:56:23):
He came from that old school where musicians had relationships
with the on air talent talent, and they all revered him.
So deepest sympathies to our friend friends at WMMR over
in Philadelphia. All right, when we come back, big Cat's

Speaker 10 (01:57:56):
The applause, we might have to start doing the applause
makes you feel special, makes.

Speaker 4 (01:57:59):
You feel different, your performance is already off to a
good start. So let's let's do this Top three Halloween candies.
Oh man, it's.

Speaker 7 (01:58:07):
Gotta start with Reese's the Pumpkin or their sorry the
ghost Yeah, you know, the regular but they've obviously made
the ghosts. Anything chocolate and peanut butter is just always
top for me with him, So I'm heavy on that.

Speaker 4 (01:58:22):
That's the problem.

Speaker 7 (01:58:22):
So Reese's uh number one, number number one?

Speaker 10 (01:58:26):
Easy?

Speaker 7 (01:58:26):
You can do regular cups or the or the ghosts.
I'm gonna go KitKat number two. Yeah, you didn't like that, okay,
and then okay, three.

Speaker 2 (01:58:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:58:45):
The problem is you asked me this question. I had
literally never in my life turned down any candy at all.
So there's really no like, oh like, if we're gonna
debate it. If we did a full debate of Halloween
can my answer to almost every single one of them
would be like, yeah, I'd eat.

Speaker 4 (01:59:03):
That, I have that.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
That sounds good.

Speaker 4 (01:59:05):
The problem is they have so many top they have
so many different reces. Now that that would be my one, two, three,
because the Oreo reces. We have been housing those here
at the studio. They're unbelievable. They're in their bag right now.
But by yeah are you?

Speaker 7 (01:59:21):
We're sponsored by Reces and we get like we have
a a convenience store type display of the Oreo reeses
and it's it's insane, it goes, we go through them.
Like the other day, I just had like I had
like twelve reeses cups. That's not a normal thing to
do have so many. And I was just I was like, ok,

(01:59:42):
I had twelve today. That's that's I need to like
readjust my brain, like, no, that's not what you're supposed
to do.

Speaker 8 (01:59:48):
Yeah, dude, that in combination with the ice cream machine,
like you are on a fast track for type two.

Speaker 4 (01:59:55):
I thought you got rid of the ice cream machine. No,
did you amend your ice cream intake though? Wasn't there
something going on there if you put a governor on
that thing?

Speaker 7 (02:00:09):
Yeah, we're trying to do non no ice cream on
day's ol football. Soa Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday.

Speaker 2 (02:00:20):
Friday is going to change soon?

Speaker 4 (02:00:23):
Do you think that Magic Johnson's tweets indicate a neurological disorder?

Speaker 7 (02:00:30):
So I've heard this, I've heard through I don't know
if you guys heard the same thing, but apparently he
dictates his tweets to his assistant or something, or he
texts them. I don't think he's ever been on Twitter,
so I think that's what he thinks it is. I
think these type of people, like super super celebrities, they're
so removed from the real world that I don't think

(02:00:52):
he knows that we're all laughing at him because he's
never seen the reaction. But I will say this about magic,
no one else is doing it like him. There's a
lot of people on Twitter who are kind of doing
the same jokes, kind of doing the same stuff. He's
just giving you straight analysis like an AI robot, and
it's just it hits every single time.

Speaker 4 (02:01:10):
With the series being this was before last night's game,
with the series being two two, Game five is very important.

Speaker 2 (02:01:16):
Whichever team wins takes control of the series. That's some magic.

Speaker 4 (02:01:20):
Johnson is such a great point.

Speaker 7 (02:01:22):
Nothing is wrong about that he said was all fad.

Speaker 4 (02:01:27):
Brian Kelly got gassed at LSU uh and then he
was pictured. He was pictured eating Mexican food. Uh yeah,
having a casadilla all by himself. Uh, wearing cargo shorts
somewhere in Baton Rouge.

Speaker 17 (02:01:41):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:01:42):
Is that sad or boss move?

Speaker 4 (02:01:44):
Boss move.

Speaker 7 (02:01:45):
He went and got the biggest case so he could
get I think that's a boss move. I mean, the
guy is it's very funny because he is uh.

Speaker 4 (02:01:53):
I don't think the Mexican accent to the people there.

Speaker 7 (02:01:57):
He might have. He definitely might have. I don't think
there's ever been a coach. I can't remember a coach
who's been fired that not a single person has said
a nice thing about him, like when James Franklin. When
James Franklin was fired, there was a lot of people
who came out and they're like, Hey, this guy really
cared about me, like I was a walk on. Whatever
the story may be, James Franklin seemed like, you know,

(02:02:20):
maybe there's you know, a fakeness to him, but there
was at least a little real human behind all of it,
and he was he was He had good human interactions
Brian Kelly. Like I was saying, we had Zach Martin
in studio last week from The Cowboys and obviously played
for Brian Kelly, no dame, future Hall of Famer. He
had the nicest thing to say about Brian Kelly and
what Zach Martin told us when I asked HI about

(02:02:41):
Brian Kelly. He said, yeah, we haven't really talked since.

Speaker 10 (02:02:45):
I sat since I left Notre Dame.

Speaker 7 (02:02:47):
That was the nicest thing.

Speaker 4 (02:02:48):
About Brian Kelly.

Speaker 10 (02:02:50):
That's that.

Speaker 4 (02:02:50):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 7 (02:02:51):
That was basically glazing him.

Speaker 10 (02:02:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:02:53):
The anecdote from Robert Salah and Matt Lafleur when they
were assistants under him, they were grad assistants. Yeah, and
they got invited to his house and they for a
party and they showed up and he made them park cars.

Speaker 2 (02:03:07):
They thought they were guests and they were valets.

Speaker 4 (02:03:11):
Yes, yes, he is.

Speaker 7 (02:03:13):
He just seems like a genuinely bad guy.

Speaker 4 (02:03:16):
Ah, And you know we need more of.

Speaker 7 (02:03:18):
Those where where you know, there are bad people all
around us, but a lot of times they do a
good job of hiding it. Brian Kelly is one of
those bad guys that everyone can look and like point like, hey,
he's like scarface, that's the bad guy.

Speaker 2 (02:03:31):
You know, we all points yeah, away, big hat.

Speaker 4 (02:03:35):
Your computer. Your week eight computer rankings in the NFL
stirred up some emotion here in Pittsburgh because I retweeted
it and quoted the category that you had the Steelers in,
which is and they sit there alone the exact same
team every single year.

Speaker 10 (02:03:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:03:55):
Yeah, And I don't know if you noticed, but like
right below it, it is the Eye who are Yeah,
they're the College Steelers because they wear the same colors.
They're the exact same team every year. But it's actually
a good thing because like, hey, this is fun. We
we somehow find a way to win eight games every
year with Iowa. Uh and then the Steelers. Oh. I mean,

(02:04:16):
it's just when is enough enough? You guys have Like
I used to laugh at you guys when you'd be like,
we're we have standards here and this is we're sick
of the nine and eight and losing in the in
the first round playoffs. I used to be like, you
gotta be kidding me. I would do anything to go
to the playoffs, Like I would do anything for that consistency.
But now I'm one hundred percent on your guys' side.

Speaker 4 (02:04:37):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (02:04:37):
This is this season looks exactly the same as the
last like decade basically, and it's it's just crazy to
watch this organization think that they have They just haven't
had a plan after Ben and it's been so drawn out,
and the problem is a lot of teams when.

Speaker 10 (02:04:55):
They don't have a plan after their franchise quarterback.

Speaker 4 (02:04:57):
Retires, like they bought them out.

Speaker 7 (02:05:00):
You guys just won't bottom out ever, and and now
you're stuck with this.

Speaker 2 (02:05:04):
Yeah, well said, all right, I have one more question
for you.

Speaker 4 (02:05:08):
Has anybody at barstool played in one of Chauncey Billups
card games?

Speaker 10 (02:05:13):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:05:14):
Oh, what, I know?

Speaker 7 (02:05:17):
I don't think so it would have been near Dave.

Speaker 10 (02:05:20):
I don't think, I know, I haven't. I also know
that would definitely be something I would do to get.

Speaker 2 (02:05:24):
Taken get taken.

Speaker 7 (02:05:27):
Yeah, you guys are.

Speaker 10 (02:05:31):
You just come home and my wife's like, what did
you do?

Speaker 7 (02:05:35):
And it's like, oh, I went to this awesome card
game with all these NBA players. I wanted to lose
two hundred thousand dollars, but it was so cool. Yeah, no,
I that was when I read that story.

Speaker 10 (02:05:46):
It was like I I, you know, when you.

Speaker 7 (02:05:48):
Put yourself in a story, it's like, yeah, I could
one hundred percent be the guy who got taken here.

Speaker 4 (02:05:52):
Like I would, without a doubt.

Speaker 7 (02:05:54):
Go sit at a card table and have an X
ray in my cards and lose every hand and be like.

Speaker 4 (02:05:58):
Man, that was one guy.

Speaker 2 (02:05:59):
Do you think it's gonna have an effect? On gambling
sports gambling.

Speaker 7 (02:06:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (02:06:05):
I don't think.

Speaker 4 (02:06:08):
I think this is gonna be like one of those
things where they're like, well, all right, somebody, somebody got
a d y and they're not you know, legislation is
not gonna come out to stop drinking. There's like, now,
these guys broke the rules of gambling, but gambling is
illegal as long as you don't do things illegally. If
you cheat, that's illegal. That's how I think it's gonna
be approached. I agree.

Speaker 7 (02:06:30):
I think it's gonna be something where they might be
a little more strict with injuries and how they report
news and stuff, because that is, you know, the leaves
just have to be a lot stricter and tighter on
all that stuff when people are gambling millions of dollars
on every single game. But yeah, the reaction to it
is always so over the top both ways, where it's

(02:06:50):
like people are like, you gotta ban gambling, gambling is
ruined sports, and then you gotta people are like, oh,
this is absolutely no problem. It's somewhere in the middle,
Like everything in life. I don't think it's gonna anything
long term. I think it's more like on the league,
and it's basically on Adam Silver and the different commissioners
of each league. You are taking the money in from
gambling advertising, right like you are getting the benefits of

(02:07:12):
legalized gambling. You are now have to you have to
take the extra steps to make sure the integrity of
your game is not taking advantage of it any way.

Speaker 4 (02:07:20):
That's on you.

Speaker 2 (02:07:21):
That's not on me.

Speaker 7 (02:07:23):
Guy who's gambling on props, who wants to be able
to gamble legally.

Speaker 2 (02:07:27):
I have no I did nothing here.

Speaker 7 (02:07:30):
It's on you to make sure that your game has
the integrity and doesn't have anything going on that's that's illegal.

Speaker 8 (02:07:35):
Did you ever put a parlay together where you felt
like this is so crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if
the betting app flagged this, because.

Speaker 4 (02:07:44):
That's how some of these guys got caught.

Speaker 8 (02:07:46):
Like the parlay was so suspicious that the app was like, no, no,
we're not paying you.

Speaker 7 (02:07:54):
No, I on the type, I get the uh, I
get the hot tips after everyone in the world's.

Speaker 4 (02:07:59):
Got yeah, where it's like hey this guy.

Speaker 7 (02:08:04):
Yeah yeah. Like once I have the hot tip, it's like, oh,
the whole world has already figured this out, and it's
already been baking the line, and so people always think
that they have like some tips or something. It's like
they already had figured this out. The line already reflects this.
So but yeah, I think that the overreaction. And you know,
obviously people will call me a hypocritic.

Speaker 10 (02:08:25):
Because I you know, we draftings, the sponsor of ours.

Speaker 7 (02:08:28):
I actually think I'm the only one who's not hypocritic
because I've been gambling long before drafting.

Speaker 4 (02:08:32):
And I've been losing long before that.

Speaker 7 (02:08:35):
I've been losing for two plus decades, and I'm like, hey,
I've never once said that I know the answer to
the question of like a winner or anything like that.
I lose.

Speaker 4 (02:08:46):
I'm a loser.

Speaker 10 (02:08:47):
I like to do it.

Speaker 7 (02:08:48):
It's my only hobby. You can decide to do it
as well, or you can decide not to do it.

Speaker 10 (02:08:52):
I don't care.

Speaker 7 (02:08:52):
It's a free country.

Speaker 4 (02:08:54):
I just want to say, as a parting note here,
my big play last weekend was teeing the Dallas Denver
over down and teasing the Bears up to eight and
a half and they had fun. They had first and
goal with a minute left and couldn't get in the
end zone from the one inch line. Caleb Williams destroyed

(02:09:16):
my Sunday. They score there, pot of gold, miss there.
I'm down for the day killed me, your team killed me.

Speaker 8 (02:09:25):
Does it hurt to hear your stake other than bet?
And you've got to watch this every Sunday?

Speaker 7 (02:09:32):
Yeah, yeah, there's they were garbage on offense on some day.
But you know the saying the only thing you teases yourself,
So just stop doing teasers.

Speaker 10 (02:09:40):
That's not I'm me.

Speaker 4 (02:09:41):
Okay. It's good advice from big Cat, brought to you

I give you pass one time.

Speaker 2 (02:11:25):
Billy Gardell live.

Speaker 4 (02:11:29):
When I say live in studio, that has a special
meaning this week. Yesterday, well, we knew Billy was in
town for the game on Sunday night, and we texted
a little bit during the game and you were not
feeling great. You had told me the days before when
you were doing stand up up in ear you weren't
feeling great. And you text me yesterday and say, Cuz,

(02:11:52):
can I come in tomorrow I'm just getting out of
the hospital right now. Yeah, okay, fill in the f
and blanks there.

Speaker 23 (02:11:59):
Okay, So well, the devil's mad. This is about the
fourth time he's missed me. So I got the eerie
last Wednesday, and then Thursdays started feeling weird, and I thought,
maybe I'm catching a cold or somehow I don't know,
you know, down But all right, I'll get some day
quill and some vitamins and we'll go after it. You know,
you on the road as a performer, you do thing.

(02:12:21):
The first show Thursday, it was okay. Thursday night, I
was shaking. I'm surprised my teeth didn't come out of
my head. And then uh, it just got worse Friday.
Sick all day but not like no coffin, no running nose, no,
so come figure out, like what is wrong with me?
But I just kept telling myself it's a cold. It's
a cold, you know, the denial Pittsburgh work ethic. You know,

(02:12:43):
I'm still going out of work bleeding out of my eyes.
That's all right, my shift starts at five.

Speaker 5 (02:12:47):
I'll be in.

Speaker 4 (02:12:49):
Don't worry about it. Do you think about it?

Speaker 23 (02:12:51):
You got it, you know, And so kept grinding, did
UH five shows and then UH this and what had
happened before that was Wednesday. I had to land in
Buffalo to get to Pittsburgh. But as I was running
from the gate in Dallas from twenty to thirty seven
because I was going to be at the late window,

(02:13:14):
there was like ten minutes to get to the flight,
my ID.

Speaker 4 (02:13:17):
And my credit card fell out of my pocket.

Speaker 23 (02:13:19):
So now I'm in Dallas. Now I can't rent a car.
I got no ID, and in today's world, you're out
of business. You don't, you're done. So I got eight
minutes to call Patty and have her get me my
passport sent with a couple hundred bucks and AMEX.

Speaker 4 (02:13:40):
That was cool.

Speaker 5 (02:13:40):
That was like getting a James Bond enveloped.

Speaker 18 (02:13:43):
It was done.

Speaker 8 (02:13:47):
It was It was just.

Speaker 23 (02:13:48):
Chaotic, but I kept I had this weird feeling in
the back of my head. It's heavier and heavier and heavier.
So I worked through five shows due to Steelers game,
and then by Monday morning get up and I could
barely walk to the elevator and UH, and then we
went to Eaton Park to get some breakfast for We
went out to the airport and Patty said, look, we're not.

Speaker 5 (02:14:10):
She goes, let me put this heart monitor thing on your.

Speaker 2 (02:14:13):
She has like an apple washed apple.

Speaker 5 (02:14:15):
So so she puts it on my wrist and that
thing started smoking. It blew.

Speaker 23 (02:14:23):
That little round thing just blew right out the side
of it. My heart, my heart rate wouldn't do any kg.
And it was at one hundred and seventy five. A
hologram of Steve Jobs came out of that and was like.

Speaker 10 (02:14:34):
Go to the Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:14:35):
I was like, dude, so that's what it read.

Speaker 7 (02:14:46):
So we went.

Speaker 25 (02:14:47):
We went.

Speaker 23 (02:14:47):
We were in Cranberry and you know, visiting Crown. In
all my life in Pittsburgh, I've never been to Cranberry.
I said that the billy one time. He goes, why
would you?

Speaker 4 (02:14:57):
We don't leave our leaving West Roa in Game of Thrones,
we don't go there.

Speaker 23 (02:15:02):
You go from Swissville to Cranber That's like visiting Europe,
like I'm abroad. So yeah, So but I got to
give so much love to the people at UPMC, and uh,
you know I got into the e.

Speaker 4 (02:15:21):
Which one were you in?

Speaker 23 (02:15:22):
Well, the first one I was in was the smaller
one in Cranburg, and they were so amazing, and you know, man,
I'm a big believer and I have been my whole life.
You know that God just kind of puts you right
where you're supposed to be when things happen. I don't
know if that works for everybody, but it certainly does

(02:15:43):
for me. Maybe that's the way I just lived my life.

Speaker 5 (02:15:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 23 (02:15:47):
I don't know, but I do believe that. And man,
I just I should have been more scared, but I
was with my wife. I'm in my hometown, and I
saw the good and bad of the Pittsburgh work at
because after I got in there, they put me. You know,
they gave me four bags of fluids, four ivs, four

(02:16:08):
full bags and I didn't go to the bathroom till
the third one, so it's fully dehydrated.

Speaker 4 (02:16:12):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (02:16:12):
Wow.

Speaker 23 (02:16:13):
So I'm like, I'm having an outer body experience and
for some weird reason, the whole time, this is going
on in my head.

Speaker 5 (02:16:19):
I'm hearing the song Big Country and it won't go away, and.

Speaker 23 (02:16:23):
I have no Yeah, yeah, you wake up, wake up
screaming or whatever, leave me alone.

Speaker 4 (02:16:31):
I'm like, well, am I just stroking out right now?

Speaker 23 (02:16:34):
So yeah, that's going on in my head the whole
and I don't know why, but whatever, it's getting me
through it. So they get me in there and uh,
you know, they the doctor came in and after they
had me hooked up on the wires, she saw, you know,
monitors your heartbeat and she saw mine go from eighty
to one hundred and sixty and like, I don't know

(02:16:54):
three seconds, like I had a HEMI in there, you
know what I mean, we were full open with the
nitre just yeah, And she goes, oh, that's not good.

Speaker 5 (02:17:03):
Let's uh, let's take a chess chest X tray.

Speaker 4 (02:17:06):
So they did. When they say stuff like that, when
something super serious happens, they're like, what's the problem and
you like open your jacket and there's a knife in
your heart.

Speaker 2 (02:17:12):
They go, oh, well that's not that.

Speaker 5 (02:17:16):
You know, to keep you calm.

Speaker 23 (02:17:17):
Yeah, well that's probably not right. So they get the
chest extray back and she says okay. She goes, it's
either a blood clot in your left.

Speaker 2 (02:17:27):
Lung or it's like a pulmonary embolism.

Speaker 23 (02:17:30):
Scary, it's a severe pneumonia. And I'm like all right,
you know, I go right to.

Speaker 4 (02:17:36):
The horse check. Come on, pneumonia, Yeah, yeah, exactly, pneumonia.
Buy a nose and so yeah, those pulmonary embolism can
take you right down, right, So they take me down
to get a cat scan, and then I see the
beauty of the picture, the bad part of the Pittsburgh
work ethic, finding out that you're working five shows in
a Steelers game while you have pneumonia, Like, we just

(02:17:58):
do that up here, we don't.

Speaker 5 (02:18:00):
That's fine.

Speaker 4 (02:18:01):
I don't worry about now.

Speaker 5 (02:18:02):
I'm fine.

Speaker 4 (02:18:02):
I don't worry.

Speaker 2 (02:18:03):
I'm fine, fine, having orange juice, you'll be all right.

Speaker 5 (02:18:06):
He needed ginger hel so it comes back.

Speaker 4 (02:18:10):
But I got it.

Speaker 23 (02:18:11):
I love the little technician. And there Bob, he must
have been doing this on a forty years and he
had that Pittsburgh tone. I'm really filled with gratitude forget me, ah,
but he had that tone about him.

Speaker 4 (02:18:28):
He's the guy.

Speaker 23 (02:18:30):
He's the good teacher in elementary school. He's the guy
that runs the dangerous ride at Kenny Wood. He's the
guy that operates something at the bank and just does
that thing perfectly every day.

Speaker 4 (02:18:45):
Because what they do is they tell you the.

Speaker 23 (02:18:47):
Information they need you to have, and no matter what
you say back to them, they redirect you back to
the information they want you to have.

Speaker 4 (02:18:54):
But he was so great.

Speaker 23 (02:18:56):
He's like, Okay, Bill, this just gonna go in and
it's gonna get hot, and you're you're gonna feel like
you're peeing your paints, but you're not keep your arms crossed.

Speaker 5 (02:19:04):
I go, okay, Bob, I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (02:19:06):
You go.

Speaker 23 (02:19:06):
Where are you from? Bobby goes Manessa, listen, this is
gonna feel hot. It's gonna make you feel like you're
peeing your pants. You're not keep your arms crossed.

Speaker 5 (02:19:14):
That's good. I'm from Swissfeld.

Speaker 4 (02:19:16):
That's good.

Speaker 23 (02:19:16):
Okay, listen, it is gonna feel hot. And then I
got him because then I did it to him on purpose.
I go, I go, uh, I got boy, the weather's
nice back here, and then he started, I go, you gotta.
I go, it's gonna feel hot. I gotta keep my
arms crossed. It's very good, very good. And so they
get to dye and me and everything, and then we

(02:19:37):
go back up and then they come in. They say, okay,
it's pneumonia. And then pneumonia. The problem is it's taking
your heart into what they call a fib, a butterfly,
a fi Jim Henson died, Yeah, And then they come
in and they give you the They try to give
you the bad news, real, real, calmly like they're like, okay,
so here's what's happening. The infection is causing your heart

(02:20:00):
to go over drive. But there's two chambers of your heart.
The top one pumps blood, the bottom one pumps blood.
The top one isn't pumping. It's quivering. And the problem
with that is sometimes it can stir blood around and
cause it stir up a clot and if it pumps
when there's a clot, well that can shoot out and
send a aneurysm to your brain and kill you. Well,

(02:20:21):
what are we doing about that? What do you got next?
She goes, Okay, well, I'm gonna get you on some
beta blockers so we could get your numbers down to
a manageable number.

Speaker 7 (02:20:31):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:20:32):
And then we got to fight this infection.

Speaker 23 (02:20:34):
So I said, all right, So they start me on antibiotics,
and then they got to take me to the bigger
hospital which was in where mccanlean's, which again canless uhka,
I land I have never visited. So but then we
get down there and those folks were unbelievable, man. And uh,
they got me in there and the young staff down there.

(02:20:57):
That's where I saw the beauty of the Pittsburgh work there.
I think these people.

Speaker 5 (02:21:04):
When you hear okay, han, let me tell you what
we're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (02:21:08):
Mm hm.

Speaker 23 (02:21:10):
And you grew up here, you got I'll be all
right one way or the other, you know. And uh
and man, they just started putting stuff in me and
and then they got the numbers to go. What was
you fear level at this point, Randy, This is the
weirdest part. I didn't have any fear for me at all.

(02:21:31):
My fear is always leaving my wife and kids.

Speaker 4 (02:21:34):
No fear.

Speaker 23 (02:21:34):
But because I've lived a charm life. And I'm not
saying that to be brave or like I'm some badass.
I just I have led my life with love. I
have lived well for the most part. I've left places
better than I came into them. And so there's I
didn't I have any fear about me. My fear is
won't Patty. I don't want to leave him alone, you know.

Speaker 7 (02:21:56):
And uh.

Speaker 5 (02:21:58):
Uh they uh, they.

Speaker 23 (02:22:00):
Started like they need to get my numbers. They were
my heart was jumping from one hundred to one hundred
and seventy, so they wanted to get it to eighty
between eighty and one hundred. So they got that there
and I got down there about midnight, I guess on Monday,
and so they started rolling me around and then I
had the midnight pulmonary guy. Scared me a little bit.

(02:22:22):
He come in because he's like real thin and kind
of gray. I'm like, you're the lung guy. When's the
last time you saw something he.

Speaker 4 (02:22:32):
Looked like in the lab?

Speaker 10 (02:22:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:22:35):
He looked like that.

Speaker 20 (02:22:36):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (02:22:36):
What was the movie remember Phantasm? Oh?

Speaker 23 (02:22:39):
Yeah, I got him coming at me now talking about
embolisms and like, yeah, okay, man, Like I was like,
you know, it was just me and him in the
room too.

Speaker 5 (02:22:49):
I was like, are you going to put a spell
on me or something?

Speaker 23 (02:22:53):
So uh, but he they got the the beta blockers
going and they got it down to between eighty and
one hundred, and he goes, Okay, now we're gonna we're
gonna really attack this pneumonia. And then they put an
IVY in my left arm for antibiotics and IVY in
my right arm for fluids, and I'm taking physical medicine
and the nurses are checking on me every four hours

(02:23:13):
and and and they weren't treating me like Billy Gardell
from Pisley gim kids didn't know who I was. They
had no idea who I was. And they were just
this young, beautiful staff. And when I say beautiful, I
mean and the way they did their job, and the
way they were so proficient and caring.

Speaker 4 (02:23:33):
And uh and and uh.

Speaker 23 (02:23:35):
The next morning, Uh, the cardiologist came in. I think
his name is Bob Luffer's real nice guy. Now he
is older, he knew, he knew who I was. He
come in, he goes, well, he goes, is this going
to be funny? I said, well, I'll let you know
when I get out of here if there's a bit
in this kid. Let's get down to business. But he
he started getting me on on on the right the track,

(02:23:58):
and uh, and he said, is this He goes, all right,
so he goes, here's the deal. We're going to fight
this infection back. He goes, but now, since you put
your heart in aphib he goes, we have to get
it back into what they call sinus rhythm.

Speaker 4 (02:24:11):
And he goes, we have three ways to do that.

Speaker 23 (02:24:14):
He goes, okay, you're the diseases are the infection is
going to go away, and your heart will slip back
naturally into that rhythm. If it doesn't, we have two options.
We're going to either thank.

Speaker 4 (02:24:29):
You baby finger in the butt.

Speaker 2 (02:24:32):
No, no, I asked that.

Speaker 4 (02:24:34):
He's like, that doesn't help, but it's not covered, but
I would have paid.

Speaker 2 (02:24:39):
Sorry, it's like.

Speaker 4 (02:24:44):
The does that helped? Not really, but some people like it.

Speaker 23 (02:24:54):
All I'm asking is you kiss my neckt.

Speaker 4 (02:25:00):
Knows crossed.

Speaker 5 (02:25:06):
But then he says this, he goes, you know, he goes, uh,
he goes to get it back.

Speaker 4 (02:25:12):
He goes, we can.

Speaker 23 (02:25:12):
We're either do an ablazion or they go in and
they if there's no clod in the heart, then they
try to find the nerve that's missfiring and they cauterize it.
He goes, or he goes and I suggest, this is
the one we'll probably do with you. We'll put you
on the table, we'll stop your heart, and then we'll
hit you with the paddles and restart you.

Speaker 5 (02:25:33):
Like yeah, I'm like.

Speaker 4 (02:25:37):
Reboot me literally.

Speaker 23 (02:25:39):
You know, I'm in Pittsburgh something and there's a there's
a guy named Augie with a die Harden to jumper.

Speaker 4 (02:25:44):
Cable just hit him.

Speaker 2 (02:25:46):
Yeah, it's connected to the Mega Touch machine on the bar.

Speaker 4 (02:25:51):
They start playing a take off the Double Dynasty and
let me get bo.

Speaker 23 (02:26:04):
I believe me, all I want to hear is boom.
So I go, all right, Doc, well we'll do, you know,
whatever we got to do. So now I'm alone in
the room and I'm looking at the machine and I'm
watching my numbers go from eighty two, one hundred, eighty
to one hundred.

Speaker 5 (02:26:21):
Nothing's changing. So all I'm thinking about is this die
hard moment I'm gonna have.

Speaker 23 (02:26:26):
And then uh, Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning, at twelve fifty
two am, I was up because I couldn't sleep.

Speaker 5 (02:26:33):
I'm watching.

Speaker 23 (02:26:34):
I looked over at the numbers and the number said
eighty eight, and I said, all right, all right, that's
a good number. And then I looked back twenty minutes
later and it was like ninety. I was like, okay,
that's good. Then twenty minutes later I looked back and
it was eighty seven, and again I go, I think
I might have slipped into Bruner.

Speaker 4 (02:26:51):
I might exactly.

Speaker 23 (02:26:54):
Eighty eight was my graduating class and Bruner, yeah, exactly,
And I thought, okay, maybe I slipped back in. And
then the nurse at four am was so cool because
she came in and let me know that's what happened.

Speaker 2 (02:27:08):
You know.

Speaker 5 (02:27:08):
Usually they'll wait in the morning sort of the doctor
can come take credit with that.

Speaker 7 (02:27:12):
But she came in.

Speaker 23 (02:27:12):
She goes, I just want you to know that your heart,
your heart broke the right way, and it's uh, it's
it is. Indeed back in sinus, she goes, the cardiologist
will being to talk to you.

Speaker 10 (02:27:24):
Now.

Speaker 4 (02:27:24):
The weird thing through this pneumonia is I don't have
a stuff.

Speaker 23 (02:27:27):
He knows I'm not weezing at every point, you know,
if the phantasm pulling up, pulling up, pullminologist and then
I get doogie howser. The next morning, he must have
been like the good brother, you know, as he's working
day shift.

Speaker 6 (02:27:39):
And he's like, yeah, you're doing great, but they listening.

Speaker 23 (02:27:43):
To my lungs and they're going, we don't understand why
you're not wheezing like I'm not.

Speaker 5 (02:27:49):
I don't want you to be.

Speaker 2 (02:27:50):
But it's really weird that this you'd have a propensity
to weave.

Speaker 23 (02:27:54):
Pneumonia is so concentrated, we can't understand why you're not
waiz And I said, well, doc, it's probably thirty packs
of Marlboroughs I've been training for I've been training for
this moment my whole life. He goes, that's not funny.
I go ahead, will be ye, Billy, let me do this?

Speaker 4 (02:28:12):
Yeah you did? I mean, thank god, everything's okay there.
Let me let me do a break and we'll come
back and I want to hear the end of this.
All right, stick around more with Billy Gardellen.

Everyone, Dan, sit down.

Speaker 4 (02:28:58):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (02:28:59):
Bit likes the soft Dump. Yeah yeah, you think that's
an ultimate uh recommendation? Oh yeah, dude, that's the endorsement
from Billy Gardell.

Speaker 4 (02:29:11):
Yeah. The Soft Dump being, of course, Joe Bartneck's hockey
segment that he does during talking about the morning Soft
Dump It. I love it, joey uh Joe Bartnick. Tonight
at the Improv Joe Bartnick and friends including Jeff Conkle
and Mike and Mark Marcus Cox. So guys tonight and

(02:29:33):
Billy Gardell's live in study with us if you're just
joining us. He told us the harrowing story of having
done five stand up shows in Eerie with pneumonia, then
deciding to cap it off by going to the Steelers
game Sunday night and ending up in the hospital for
three days, nearly dying.

Speaker 7 (02:29:47):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:29:47):
If not for his wife not allowing him to get
on the plane, you would not have arrived in Los
Angeles awake.

Speaker 23 (02:29:54):
No, it would have been sanded s s yeah s
you know no, the doctor said, he goes, I'm not
sure you'd have made that ride home.

Speaker 4 (02:30:04):
Thank God for Patty. Well, oh my god.

Speaker 23 (02:30:07):
And I I was and I was still trying to
Pittsburgh get Monday morning, like I will go through the plane.
And I called a doctor when I get home and
then tell him how you got me on a plane?

Speaker 26 (02:30:16):
Well, I said to him, if this were happening to me,
would you put me on a plane? And he could
not answer us. So to the hospital we went.

Speaker 2 (02:30:26):
So she crushed you with the first question.

Speaker 23 (02:30:30):
It's like that, It's like that scene in one of
the m m A fighters were like one guy does
all the dancing around stuff and the other guy's just quiet,
and then the crazy guy runs towards him and then
just gets knocked out with one shot. There was nothing
I could do. I couldn't argue that, so I don't
know where we were. So I'm sorry. My brain's still
ain't working.

Speaker 4 (02:30:48):
So at this point, uh oh, he said, it's not
funny the cigarettes joking.

Speaker 23 (02:30:54):
It was the numbers thing. So I looked at the numbers.
It's the middle of the night and they're holding that.
The woman said, you're you're heart did slip back in
as okay, that's great. So the cardiologist comes in the
next morning and he goes, okay, guys, it's uh it's
it's slipped into the right They call it sinus rhythm.
So your heart's beating the right way. Now we're gonna
fight disinfection down he he goes, but here's the deal.

(02:31:17):
You're probably going to be on beta blockers and blood
thinners for the foreseeable future, and you need to get
a cardiologist when you go back home.

Speaker 5 (02:31:25):
But we're going to keep you one more.

Speaker 23 (02:31:26):
Day today just to get you filled with fluids and medicine,
then you can take some stuff with you. And then
they had originally told us, look, don't go home till
Saturday in case we have to do a procedure. So
we thought, you know what, man, we canceled everything at home.
Let's just let's stay in Pittsburgh and get strong and
uh and we're gonna go home Saturday. So so Wednesday

(02:31:47):
was actually a nice day at the hospital. Can Acy
come out and visited me, and then uh and then
God bless him, Jim Rooney came out to visit me,
and uh, yeah, because we were with him at the
game Sunday and he uh, he came in and that
made everybody freak out because they're young kids and they
don't know sitcoms and watch TV, right, so they can't

(02:32:08):
figure out why.

Speaker 5 (02:32:09):
Jim Rooney's in my room.

Speaker 23 (02:32:11):
And so one of the little young girls goes, are
you like an old player or something?

Speaker 4 (02:32:18):
As a kicker? A kicker?

Speaker 23 (02:32:20):
So Jack cam nice to meet. I honestly think that
Jim got the Chief's heart. I think of the Rooney's
Jim as the Chief's heart. So we got to do
all that, and he really is salt of the earth
and then uh. And then I texted our boy, Joey
O'Connell from Penhills and this is the thing that made

(02:32:43):
me laugh so hard that I had tears in my eyes.
For look, I'm not knocking hospital food, but it's not,
you know, traditionally.

Speaker 5 (02:32:56):
So uh, so I got this. I think, what is
meat loaf?

Speaker 23 (02:33:00):
So I take a picture of this and I send
it to Joey O'Connell from Penn Hills. I go, Joe,
I just ate this, and he looked at me and
he goes, oh my god, that won't stand. Don't worry.
I'm sending the Catholics and his family's gonna come over
and me.

Speaker 2 (02:33:18):
So.

Speaker 23 (02:33:19):
But then then they found out I was going to
get released that day. So I called, We're going to
go actually visit his mom after we leave here, and
I said, now, Mayor, don't come up, and uh, I go,
We're gonna come out and see you and I'm coming
home and uh. And then last night I went to
Canesy's house and Holly made some pasta with bolonnaise and nice.

(02:33:39):
You know, man, there's something very therapeutic about a Pittsburgh
kitchen table and pulled it. Love you, Yeah, that's medicine
you can't buy. And so and now I'm here with
you guys, and I get the extra extra special bonus
with partner over there. I ignorantly called, damn, sorry, but
do it again. I don't even know where I'm at.

(02:33:59):
You know, I'm lucky. I wasn't waking up going do.

Speaker 4 (02:34:01):
You serve Marshmallo for three? So do the cardiologists recommend
bolonaise right after the ephip?

Speaker 18 (02:34:09):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (02:34:11):
Is that the first I had? I just had hospital
put it in?

Speaker 11 (02:34:15):
That?

Speaker 10 (02:34:15):
Is it that way?

Speaker 4 (02:34:17):
I highly recommend bolon As and Mancini's bread.

Speaker 2 (02:34:20):
Yeah, I'm a lot that talking.

Speaker 23 (02:34:23):
So I'm just and and then I just you know,
I realized, you know, look, you know what, what grace
for this weird thing to happen to me, and to
be in one of the weeks where I was on
the road with my wife who saved my life again,
and to be in my hometown when this happens. You know,
I'm I'm blessed. I'm just truly blessed. And then you know,

(02:34:46):
we're just we're just going to spend the next couple
of days.

Speaker 5 (02:34:48):
In Pittsburgh, being in Pittsburgh. Well and I'm just very
grateful to be here.

Speaker 4 (02:34:52):
With you guys.

Speaker 2 (02:34:53):
You know, you've done so much good for so many others.

Speaker 4 (02:34:55):
People love when they finally have an opportunity to do
something for you, all those ones in your life, you know.

Speaker 8 (02:35:00):
Really felt seven shows at the Improv this week, right,
Bartnik show?

Speaker 2 (02:35:10):
Oh that was the one.

Speaker 23 (02:35:11):
Other funny thing is they have to ask you these
questions when you're in there. They're like, well, what was
the question to asked me? Yeah, they go, if your
heart stops, do you want to be resuscitated?

Speaker 5 (02:35:22):
And I couldn't.

Speaker 23 (02:35:22):
You know, we're comics. We can't help but take the laugh.
Instead of saying something, I just looked at Patty like, well.

Speaker 4 (02:35:33):
I'm glad you're feeling better, and mostly I'm glad you
didn't check out at my house up in Erie, because
that would have been there's already one. There's already one
ghost up there. We didn't need another one. My dad,
my dad in Guardell haunting. That place would have been
Actually I could have charged admission. That hilarious. So alright,

(02:36:00):
that's the best part is we get to hang with
we very rarely get to see her. Well, I mean,
that is a harrowing tale there, Bill, you had one
hell of a stressful week. I just couldn't believe when
I got that text yesterday. Can I come in tomorrow.
I'm just getting out of hospital. It's fine, it's fine,
I'm okay, I'm not contagious.

Speaker 23 (02:36:21):
Well, it's like Bartnick said, too, man, you have one
of the great gifts of the comic brain is as
you're going through that one, you can diffuse a little
bit with humor, and then you start thinking, you know,
if I get through, this is gonna be a great bit.

Speaker 4 (02:36:32):
Yeah, this would be a great start chunking. It's all right,
let me do one more quick break and then we'll
be back with Billy Gardell and Joe Bartnick live in studio.

Billy Gardell and his wife Patty are here. After Billy
experienced a harrowing event after contracting pneumonia, doing five comedy
shows with pneumonia up in Erie, driving down for the
Steelers game Sunday night, going to the Steelers game with pneumonia,

(02:38:19):
waking up the next morning in full on a fib
and had to check in the hospital for a couple
of days, and they stopped you from dying.

Speaker 5 (02:38:27):
And today we're going to uh, you know, go get
a hog.

Speaker 23 (02:38:34):
Yeah, I'm hoping Mayor has some pound k But I
just want to say one more time about up MC.
Thank you, I love you, Thank you for taking care
of me, thank you, thank you, thank you, and uh,
I'm just so grateful. One of the reasons I came
in here with Patty was for you to talk to
her finally, because she's starting to seem like Norm's wife.

Speaker 5 (02:38:52):
You know, you guys share it morning out there.

Speaker 4 (02:38:54):
Well, every once in a while, I'll get Patty in
the car and then she and I start talking, right Paul,
and You're.

Speaker 5 (02:39:00):
Like, all right, yeah, you wrap it up, all right,
But if you want to talk to her, she's here.
If you want to ask her any.

Speaker 4 (02:39:06):
Question, Patty, what is the best thing about being married
to a comedian of the level that Billy Gardell has achieved.

Speaker 2 (02:39:15):
The best thing, the best.

Speaker 26 (02:39:17):
Thing, well, the best thing is how he loves me,
but the greatest, I guess the thing is that you're
always surrounded by people who laugh. And you know, I'm
quite a serious person, and so it's a good balance
for me because I'm the I'm the house vulcan.

Speaker 6 (02:39:31):
You know, and so you know, surrounded by people who
don't take themselves too seriously is good medicine for me.

Speaker 4 (02:39:38):
You're from Georgia originally. How much Pittsburgh appreciation do you
have right now? Which is to say, like if you
had one foot in Pittsburgh, Like how assimilated to being
a Pittsburgh do you feel like you are? You know,
I think a lot.

Speaker 26 (02:39:56):
We've been together twenty six years, almost twenty seven, and
you know, I feel like a little resident Pittsburgh when
I'm here and I get my Pittsburgh E's done.

Speaker 4 (02:40:04):
And we go down town and.

Speaker 26 (02:40:07):
You know, I was driving we were driving by and
there's a store that's called a R H A U
S R. And I was like, I'm like, that must
be the Pittsburgh pronunciation of our house, right like ah,
And I was like it did make me smile this week.

Speaker 2 (02:40:22):
So my place has got some rich furniture.

Speaker 5 (02:40:28):
You know her favorite comedians Joey O'Connell.

Speaker 2 (02:40:31):
Oh, well, Joey kNN.

Speaker 5 (02:40:32):
Nobody makes her laugh like Joey o'conn.

Speaker 2 (02:40:34):
Well, there's nobody as committed to the dead pan quite
as much.

Speaker 4 (02:40:39):
As Joey o konn.

Speaker 6 (02:40:40):
Like I always know he's kidding.

Speaker 26 (02:40:42):
I don't always know when Billy's kidding because he gets
it like it flies right over my head.

Speaker 6 (02:40:46):
But like with Joe, like I know he's kidding.

Speaker 4 (02:40:50):
Looks the jostle factor on this round.

Speaker 10 (02:40:54):
World?

Speaker 5 (02:40:55):
I told him to Disney and every coaster we got
up to. He that's the tour.

Speaker 4 (02:41:00):
Hey, what's the jostle factor on this How much they're
gonna shop? That's an actual metric, jowly. Yeah, well it's
a nine point seven on the Rakowski. Yeah, Billy gart
dealt with his wife Patty, and Joe Bartnick is here too. Well,
that's a scary week, man. I'm really glad that for
both of your sakes that you listen to Patty. Yes,

(02:41:21):
instead of it? Why are guys meatheads? Why not?

Speaker 23 (02:41:24):
Like, well, I've gotten better, I've gotten better listening to her.
You're coachable.

Speaker 5 (02:41:27):
Yeah, I'm coachable.

Speaker 2 (02:41:29):
Now, let me ask you this.

Speaker 4 (02:41:30):
Did you know, like when you found out your heartbeat
was once seventy eight, you still wanted to get on
the plane.

Speaker 23 (02:41:35):
I did at first, just because I had some stuff
at home, and I thought like, well, we can get home.
I'll call the doctor and then I will deal with this.
So that part of me I'm growing like I will
go deal with this, you know, But apparently it wasn't
time for it.

Speaker 4 (02:41:51):
And how did you guys find out? You put your
watch on him?

Speaker 26 (02:41:55):
Yeah, I wear an Apple watch for a similar reason.
And you know, I have a heart rhythm issue myself,
and so my doctor had me wear one. And I said,
you know, I don't think this is a cold, you know,
just with the fuzziness in his head, the shaking and things.
And I just said, you know, I don't see cold.
I don't see a runny nose. I don't hear a cough.
I said, you know, please let me check your heart.

(02:42:17):
And so I put my watch on him and.

Speaker 4 (02:42:19):
Checked his heart. It shed dude.

Speaker 6 (02:42:23):
To the hospital now is basically what it said.

Speaker 4 (02:42:26):
And I said, yeah, we're going, Joe B.

Speaker 2 (02:42:28):
You've had heart issues, you know what it's like.

Speaker 1 (02:42:30):
Yeah, I mean, I and I had pneumonia and I
did did shows because I had the Russian horse pill
antibiotics to get me through. Luckily, I actually went to
go get my weed prescription, you know, a shady Hollywood
Russian doctor, and she's like, you're coughing blood and you
have pneumonia, and she was let me get weed.

Speaker 4 (02:42:51):
Doctor diagnosed you. Yes, they're not even I know.

Speaker 2 (02:42:56):
That's how sick I was.

Speaker 4 (02:42:57):
But I can't turn down work.

Speaker 2 (02:42:59):
That's that's Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (02:43:02):
Yes, that's exactly right, that's exactly And they.

Speaker 1 (02:43:04):
Knew in Vegas because I always my not my my
rider was always a bottle of Crown Royal, And when
I gave it to the stage hand, like you're not
going to drink that, I'm like, I gotta go back
and just sleep.

Speaker 4 (02:43:14):
Like that's when they knew Bartnik is sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
but yeah, I mean I walked.

Speaker 2 (02:43:22):
Off my heart attack. That's that ail.

Speaker 1 (02:43:25):
The most Pittsburgh thing you did was, yeah, I'm doing
all my shows and I'm going to Steeler game. I'm
not really that sick. You've always been, mister Pittsburgh. But
that really is the most Pittsburgh thing you could have
ever done.

Speaker 23 (02:43:38):
I think it's what we say. We saw our fathers
go to work under any condition because that's what you do.

Speaker 5 (02:43:44):
That's what you do for your family.

Speaker 4 (02:43:45):
It's what you do.

Speaker 23 (02:43:46):
And it's part of a pride in us that they
can be very dangerous. Like I said, that's that's that's
the downside of it. But then when you see people
doing doing things the right way, with precision and with
being deliberate, that's the thing that there's a pride in Pittsburgh.
But you can you can you can hit the gas
on that little hard you know, you can push it.

Speaker 4 (02:44:07):
A little far.

Speaker 8 (02:44:08):
You got to tell Chuck Laurie about this, because you've
outdone yourself. They had to shut down production.

Speaker 4 (02:44:12):
Yeah, yeah, we.

Speaker 23 (02:44:14):
Shut down Michael Molly one week because I did the
terrible towel towirl. Somebody said, you know what, I think
it was a Joe that said it to me. I think, yeah,
I think.

Speaker 7 (02:44:25):
That was right.

Speaker 23 (02:44:26):
You know the offensive line they ain't got no coach on.
You should do the toe without your code back on
the stage Monday anyway, Molly, No, what is happening? He
had the greatest line though that week because he shut
production down that way, Chuck Laurie.

Speaker 5 (02:44:41):
Yeah, and he goes. He just walked up and he went,
no more. Playoff games are.

Speaker 4 (02:44:47):
The same thing. But you're getting older. You September games. Yeah,
I got to come in the early days. That's right.

Speaker 23 (02:44:53):
I need to be the early part of the season.
So my brother went and saw your early show on
appreciate it. Did your mom did straighten that out with
your mom too?

Speaker 2 (02:45:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:45:02):
I choot that guy out so bad.

Speaker 5 (02:45:04):
You have no idea.

Speaker 4 (02:45:05):
My mom she took three or her eighty year old
friends to see Billy on Friday and her name wasn't
at the after I had put it in, and yeah,
they messed it up.

Speaker 2 (02:45:18):
So she's calling me and I'm like, uh, just let
him in.

Speaker 4 (02:45:22):
They did. They did, Okay, Yeah, dude, I would I
chewed him so bad for I said this that that
will not.

Speaker 2 (02:45:29):
Stay his bragging to her friends. Billy's taking care of.

Speaker 23 (02:45:33):
I said that aggression will not stand. Tell her that
I did chew that guy out.

Speaker 2 (02:45:38):
I will still appreciate it. But and that was nice,
your brother said. I texted my brother and I was like, because.

Speaker 4 (02:45:44):
I when you called. I talked to you Saturday and
I said, hey, coom you look for something to do today.
Head out to Prescot Island, go for a walk. It's
going to be a beautiful day. You can walk to
the bay or you can walk the beaches. And you're like,
as I'm under the blanket right now, shivering like crazy,
I'm like, oh, you got the fitter, you got the flu.
You can't do shows tonight. And then I hear back

(02:46:06):
from you. And then I texted my brother and told
him like, I don't think Billy's doing that show tonight.
Just FYI, if you got a babysitter, you might not
need one or make other plans because I'm expecting he's
not doing it.

Speaker 2 (02:46:16):
And then you texted me later and said you were
doing it. Yeah. I'm like, well he's doing it.

Speaker 4 (02:46:21):
And then he went to the show instead it was great,
and said you would have never known you were sick.
And so yesterday when I found out what happened to you,
like texting Michael was like, yo, I'm like, dude, Cardell
had pneumonia when he was doing that show and then
he came down and did the Steelers game after that,
and then like you know, ended up in the hospital
with day fan. I go, you almost saw his second

(02:46:42):
to last comedy show, and he texted, still is till
he does another one. It's true, as we stand, you
might need to get out to Bartneck show.

Speaker 1 (02:47:00):
Would I'll tell you this, Billy, you would have made
that flight. You would have walked off Alix because there's
no way that Steeler game would have been your last one.

Speaker 5 (02:47:08):
Oh, I don't know. That one almost put the nail
on my top. And that was hard to watch.

Speaker 4 (02:47:14):
That was really hard.

Speaker 8 (02:47:15):
I'm surprised you didn't hear about it from you know,
any of the doctors at U p MCS actually worked.
These blockers were actually you're actually gonna help your heart.

Speaker 4 (02:47:33):
Starts. Do you guys remember when the guy had a
heart attack at Chip When Betts fumbled game against the Colts, This.

Speaker 25 (02:47:44):
In his favorite stool, and this play nearly killed him.
A Jerome Bettis fumblet the goal line. Bettis is his hero.
It hurt me more to see him fumble the ball.

Speaker 23 (02:48:06):
And to perhaps and his Pittsburgh career that way than
us losing the game.

Speaker 2 (02:48:11):
It was it was just I more than my heart
could bear.

Speaker 25 (02:48:15):
The fumble is the last thing know. Neil remembers his
heart stopped, fortunately for him. Two Pittsburgh firefighters.

Speaker 4 (02:48:22):
Were at the bar. They performed and they say, know
I was.

Speaker 23 (02:48:27):
In here, and I regained consciousness and I asked the
doctor did we win?

Speaker 2 (02:48:33):
And it was the first worce out of my mouth.

Speaker 4 (02:48:36):
I didn't know. Now we're interviews and said the ESPN
an HBO.

Speaker 25 (02:48:43):
His phone won't stop ringing, and there's no way he's
going to miss the a f C Championship game on Sunday.

Speaker 4 (02:48:50):
I'm not gonna change. I'm not gonna quit quit living
because of this.

Speaker 2 (02:48:54):
And win the super Bowl. This is our year.

Speaker 4 (02:48:57):
I mean, you know about that.

Speaker 23 (02:49:00):
There's not a Pittsburgh that wasn't There's not a Pittsburgh
that wasn't not in their head in agreement, who understood?

Speaker 4 (02:49:05):
Oh my god. You know the funny thing about that is,
I remember another interview he did and they got and
he goes, when the bus fumbled that ball, it broke
my heart. And then like someone in his family off
camera goes literally and goes literally, I don't I.

Speaker 5 (02:49:25):
Never would want to be from anywhere else.

Speaker 4 (02:49:28):
Ever.

Speaker 2 (02:49:29):
No, Well said, we gotta get your star on that
Walk of Fame next year.

Speaker 23 (02:49:35):
Maybe you know, No, it denied me. Once they came,
I was in the in the running the preliminary.

Speaker 4 (02:49:41):
You're in the finals.

Speaker 23 (02:49:42):
Oh, let me give you the audition updates. Oh yeah, yeah,

Out of that that what was that one?

Speaker 5 (02:49:49):
The principal some uh, some series about a crazy school
or something.

Speaker 4 (02:49:55):
Yeah, I know what they're talking about.

Speaker 23 (02:49:58):
Back in early days, I would tell them when I
was getting auditions for like yogurt commercials, and that I
call back and I didn't get it, so we keep score.

Speaker 5 (02:50:05):
So that'd be fun to start doing that again since
I'm unemployed again.

Speaker 23 (02:50:09):
So but I am still in the running for the
Greyhound movie with Tom Hanks, so we're still in a mix.

Speaker 4 (02:50:16):

Speaker 2 (02:51:57):
Oh, goggle ahead.

Speaker 15 (02:52:04):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They
don't go to the office, They build it and Steelers
Pro Shop get it direct from the team at Shop
dot Steelers dot com.

Speaker 4 (02:52:17):
Here's tom Oproman.

Speaker 16 (02:52:18):
The task for a struggling Steelers defense will not get
any easier on Sunday when the NFL's number one scoring
offense comes to town in the form of the Indianapolis Colts.
The colts prolific offensive attack let's averages thirty three point
eight points per game and a league best three hundred
and eighty five point three total yards per game, is
no doubt led by their superstar running back Jonathan Taylor.
Taylor leads the NFL on rushing yards with eight hundred
and fifty rushing touchdowns with twelve, and with his two

(02:52:40):
receiving touchdowns, his fourteen total tds leads the entire NFL.
He's also coming off of what might be his most
dominant performance of the season, rushing for one hundred and
fifty three yards on just twelve carries and finding the
end zone three total times. That marks the fourth time
this season Jonathan Taylor has achieved three touchdowns in a
single game.

Speaker 12 (02:52:57):
The rest of the NFL has just eight of those
performances is combined.

Speaker 16 (02:53:01):
Furthermore, Taylor has scored ten touchdowns over his past four games,
the first time that has been accomplished by anyone since
the twenty fifteen season. The Steelers, who have the NFL's
eighteenth ranked run defense allowing one hundred and twelve point
seven yards per game on the ground two opponents, will
have their work cut out for them when it comes
to stopping Taylor in the Colts rushing attack, but doing
so will be a major key.

Speaker 12 (02:53:19):
In snapping their losing streak. Tom Opferman with the Steelers report.

Speaker 4 (02:53:26):
You see the skyline, you drive over the bridges. We
built that.

Speaker 2 (02:53:29):
Ironworkers Local Union Number three isn't just a job, it's
a leg
