Speaker 1 (00:00):
For appliances. This is w DVE Pittsburgh. There's a whole group.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Of people who think that the cold plunges are bad
for you, not just not good for you, that they
are actively bad for you. So there is all kinds
of disparate information out there about that stuff. I think
that the proof has been putting when I've done it,
it has definitely helped me with that.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, I mean athletes have been doing it for how long.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Like you're get in the cold tub, it produces inflammation,
and that's not really arguable at this point.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, the supplement world is where you could really get
into a long ass discussion about which one's work, which
ones don't, and how far down the rabbit hole are
you on all of those Like fish oils, that was
a big one where everyone's like, oh, hey, you got
to have fish oil every day, and then they're like,
actually these are bad to America.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, but if you don't.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Have it with Pepper, Who's Pepper?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
All right, Sean Collier and BM with some movie reviews,
including the new rock movie The Smashing Machine, which is
maybe the best title for a movie I've seen it
in a long time. I love that because he looks
like a smashing machine. In the previews, also Sean Collier
or Sean Casey.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
We're full of Shawn's having come back from Ireland doing
a wild card roundup for us, and Abbey's got your
news right now.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Wet Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Today partly sunny and very warm.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
It's a high of seventy eight, and this weekend looks perfect.
Saturday sunshine, high eighty and Sunday sunshine and a high
of eighty one. I know, I just put up that's
one of my Halloween decorations last night, and now they're
just gonna get crispy.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Taylor swiss twelfth studio album.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
The Life of a Showgirl officially came out at midnight,
but Pittsburgh area fans were lining up as early as
eight pm last night and the soul.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Southville's Village Target.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Why to get the record first?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Like they're lining up in front of Spotify.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah no, they want the physical vinyl.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Well, actually think is a good thing.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I agree with you. I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But it does surprise me because her fan base does
not strike me as the kind that wants the the
actual physical media.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
I feel like Vinyls even back with that.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Is it all or is it? Are they still making CDs?
Targets are still making CDs.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
There are CD and vinyl versions, but I mean again,
it's a little bit at least more in vogue. I
think to have a record player now than it is
to have a CD player. Sure right, Either way, the
store extended its hours just to accommodate the Swifties, so
(02:51):
they made sure that they were.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ready to go hilarious.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Target fans said that fans could snag four exclusive products,
so you could get like a Vinyl a CD. You
could also get a Summertime Sprit Pink Shimmer vinyl, and
then Wendy's Today is offering a free side of small fries.
This is like the loosest connection that they could possibly make.
(03:18):
They just you have to have the app and then
anything you purchase over five bucks you get free fries
for the most Glamorous Friday year.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Wait, all right, that is to promote Taylor's album. Yeah, so,
but do you have to show proof of purchase with
the of the album.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
Here's the thing. No, Wendy's is just jumping on his train.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So she didn't do this in conjunction.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
I don't think so. I don't think so, because that.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Would be a weird partner for her. Yeah, Wendy's.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Yeah, she has to go to Tropical Cafe.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right, a free copy of her new album with every
Baconator purchase.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
What Travis would sound like? He would be behind that one?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, yeah, awesome surprise. I guy Wendy's on board, Travis. No,
we get so many sandwiches. I still can't believe she married.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
She's marrying him, I mean, what the hell is this
album about? She's happy right now. It can't be great.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
She did tea off on Charlie XCX.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I know what did she say about Charli XCX.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
She said something I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Don't get mad Swifties because I don't know the exact lyrics,
but something about like I heard you talking bleep about
me when you're feeling strong after doing coke or something.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I mean, it's definitely not that that's putting out truck.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Wow, the bullied have become the bully.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's the world, right, Nerds and jocks have united.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, I mean in that couple.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
All right, Well to cleanse the palette.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Ac DC's fireworks at the end of their concert at
Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium exceeded permitted noise levels. The Australian rockers
headed to the venue on August twenty first, is part
of their Power Up tour, and as reported by the BBC,
the City of Edinburgh Council received eight complaints from locals
about the noise pollution.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Council is now advising no fireworks are.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Allowed to be used at the stadium at all, so
ACDC kind of blew it for everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Way to go, ACDC.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
We didn't get to ask Connor the other day, but
I just wanted to ask him, like, do they use
fireworks at that park for Gaelic football games? Ut it down,
none of the theatrics right, nothing, but they they brought
it all in for the Steelers Vikings game.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It looked like it didn't go as planned.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't know, like the smoke and everything that went off,
Like they had the colors of the Irish flag and
flown off and cool, and then it's just turned into
a big cloud of indiscernible, you know, fog.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Well, I was talking to our co worker Dan yesterday,
who is you know, in like instrumental and putting on
the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Broadcasts producer of the Steelers network. And they lost power
before the game.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Before the game, like they were there six hours before
the game and still had a ton of technical difficulties
because they're plugging into outlets that you know, were the
wrong ones or that you know that blew a fuse.
Something happened where I don't think that stadium or that
park was was ready for what was in front of
(06:42):
it that day at.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
All, not at all.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I mean we were told two different times they lost
power and there was concern they would not be able
to get the radio broadcast off, which meant the TV
broadcast was in jeopardy. I'm sure they have some generators
in that case for those yeah, under those sense, because
there's too much money is wrapped up in that. But
(07:04):
the play clock and the one end zone did not
work and they couldn't get to work, and they told
both teams before the game, hey, no play clock when
you face this way, which thankfully it happened to be
the way the Vikings were facing on the drive that
they were trying to win the game on and it
cost them a delay a game.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I bet you they're not too happy about that.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They're pissed, and they should be. I mean, imagine our
reaction to that. If it happened to the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
We'd still be talking about it, never shut up. We
would be filing, never shut up. They would be all
kinds of you know, uh just podcasts freaking out and
uh filing claims with the with the with the commissioner.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
We have to appeal the outcome of this game. But
thankfully the Vikings I think are just too beleaguered right now,
having lost half of their.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Starters to their at so many problems.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There's so many players hurt in the NFL right now,
and the league wants to end so many crappy teams,
and the league wants to expand.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What do you think the quality of play is gonna be?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I don't know, but I was surprised. I don't know
if you watched him.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Mean, I was flipping around the baseball games last night
and the football game. Everybody is hurt on the forty
nine Ers, almost everybody. Christian McCaffrey is the lone exception,
and Mac Jones came out there and beat the Rams
last night with their fifth and six receiving options.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Kenny Pickett needs to get to Kyle Shanahan. Yeah, he does,
because that dude can win with anybody.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, and I don't know, he's turned turned Brock Purty
into a.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Franchise quarterback exactly. And then Matt Jones looks good and
Mac Jones looked awful prior to being there. Did you
see how many positions Christian McCaffrey was listed at last
night because of all the injuries. He's like he was
the best backup quarterback. He's like the backup receiver, Like
he had five designations punt returners back if that dies?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
What twenty five four, twenty three, twenty two.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
He's commenting on it, reading rainbow is back. Unfortunately, LeVar
Burton is not a part of this. They are going
with a new younger host. His name is Michael Threetz.
He's been going by his reat Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
I don't know what that.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I don't know, but his name is Michael the librarian,
I guess on TikTok and that's what he's using. He
is the resident librarian for PBS Kids, And so the
show is going to air on PBS, but there's gonna
be a lot of celebrity guests, Gabrielle Union, Adam Devine,
Christy Teagan, and John Legend. There is no word yet
on an air date, but for everybody else the original
(09:59):
reading Rainbow, Oh, that was eighty three, believe it or not,
to two thousand and six, Christy Taken looks like a
cabbage patch doll, all grown up.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Her face looks like it's all buttoned.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah, you know, everything is perfectly.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
When you were a little kid, did you ever have
the mirrors that would open like it, like your medicine cabinet,
Like the mirror open.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Do you ever put your face halfway through? Who wanted
just to see what it would look like? That's what
looks like to me.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I like her. Yeah, she just looks like a cabbage
patchanal to be.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Man, the way this dude spells his name is annoying.
Michael m y c h A L.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Come on, man, well there's that comedian Mike Kaplan. M
like q oh.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I mean, I guess it's it's time to to start over,
right with that? With the reading Rainbow, like, yeah, it
doesn't matter, Like I don't expect LeVar Burton to do
it into his.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I did well the other day, is like you have
to let oh that stuff because it's not for you anymore.
It's like the people who have like turned Steve from
Blues Clues, they're these people are adults now and they
watched him when he was a kid, and they're just
so infantiized constantly. Everybody hates the fact that they grow
(11:23):
up and they rely way too much on this stuff
from their childhood. It's like, you know, I've said it
many times, the whole mister Rogers quote of like look
for the helpers. If you're an adult, you're not supposed
to use that for other adults.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Like you're just supposed to be the helper.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Supposed to be the helper.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
At this point, so many people are like look for
the helpers, Like, no, dude, say hey, I'm a helper.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It's to make kids feel safer, not adults.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Have you seen that dude, Steve from Blues.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, it's a podcast now, it's really good, Is it really?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I have no doubt.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean he seemed talented, but I mean, is he
talking down to his adult audience like their children, because
he kind of did that during COVID on that one
post and everybody was like they loved that he checked
in with everyone, and I just thought, like, hey, we
are not okay?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yeah yeah, I mean I think he's doing like a
lot more.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Self help type stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Like the things that he's saying is just he's just like, hey, man,
just checking in, like how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You are? Right right now? Just be here with me
for a second.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
And it's like, you know, big gaps of him not
saying anything and just sitting outside and breathing with you.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It's mild.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I don't just got you, but I just caution people
against relying too much on their childhood show hosts as
their source of respite.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I mean, I can't think of anybody that I would
look to for that. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
For me, it'd be like Captain Kangaroo would be there
with that bowl cut and be.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Like, are you okay? Do you want to come sit
with me and mister green jeans because you.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Have no hair? Right, Like the dude from Blues Clues
has no hair, right.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
He does look very different now.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
He's not wearing that rugby, which helps I think.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh, I only picture him in the rugby No, no,
he's wearing not Max effect that.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Who would be your childhood I.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Mean for me because I'm older than you guys, it
was it was mister Rogers and Captain Kangaroo, and for.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Me it would probably be pee Wee and he's you know,
permanently unavailable.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And I only knew pee Wee as the original pee
Wee Herman show from the Groundlings that was on HBO,
which was very much adult oriented, so like I never
attached him as a children's host, and then watching that
Peewee documentary, that's when it was I was really like, boy,
I never waited enough how much he was actually seen
(14:03):
as a host of a kids show, and that made
all of his stuff even like way more egregious, particularly
like just the sort of details of all that. It's like,
once you became that guy and you decided to be that.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Guy, you got all that other shit.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah, you don't get to also be this avant garde
artist who's like on the edge of things because the
kids are relying on you to not be that.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I don't think I knew about the show like the
One Man Show till I was well into adulthood.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I was only I was obsessed with the show whenever
that aired Saturday afternoons or mornings.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, and I never would watched it because his house
like that house.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I mean, any kid growing up was like, if I
had money, this would be my house.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, Sean and I are the same age. So I'm
trying to think of like what I did watch mister
Rogers reruns and things like that. But I also think
of Sharon Lewis and Brown from The Elephant Show and
Eureka's Castle.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Sherry Lewis lamb Truck. She would be comforting a lot
better than Barney the Dinosaur. I do not want Barney
coming to me in my time of need.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
That would because it would have to be Barney.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
It couldn't be the person inside of Barney because then
you'd be like, who the hell are you? Yeah, like
I'm Barney, but no you're not.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Wasn't there didn't the guy inside of the Barney get
busted for something?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Or am?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I thinking of Almo.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Elmo am But I think there was a lot circulating
around that time that, like, because it was just fun
internet lore, that there had to be something deeply, deeply wrong,
which she was ever in that costume?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Did you hear Barney had two of his ribs removed?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Barney's the kid from Wonder Years, Paulier.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Bartley's sunny very warm Today, it's a hive seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You think the actor that played Paul Ffiffer when he
grew up was like, Yeah, I am Maryland.

Speaker 10 (16:59):
Well, I've been happy this week filling in for Mike
with how much baseball we've talked about with the playoffs
and how interesting those series have been. So let's just
start there to wrap up the first round. The wild
Card is done and I think it deserves attention to
begin with, We'll kind of go in order of how
the games went yesterday. Detroit eliminates Cleveland six to three.
(17:20):
The Tigers get Seattle next in the American League, and
the Cubs sent home San Diego behind four shutout innings
from Jamison ty On three to one final score. Chicago
battles Milwaukee in a best of five nlds.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Next.
Speaker 9 (17:36):
This is tie On in the celebratory Cubs locker.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
Room, speaking with a reporter who I cannot identify because
she's apparently wearing a mate of the missed champagne condom
while interviewing him.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
As you could hear in the background, that was incredible.
Wrigley was unlike anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Tonight.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
At first inting I remember striking out Tatis to start
the game and thinking to myself, I'm noise energy.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Being able to do it.
Speaker 12 (18:05):
This group of guys like Dansy Nico have I've played
with them now for a few years. Getting to grow
together and be a part of this with them is
really special.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
And he's like wiping the champagne off his face and
flicking it on us. He's talking because he's going blind.
Happy for him, so happy as we've talked about a
couple of times the last forty eight hours, and knowing
that he might get a start here and pitch pitched. Well,
he's one of the better guys to come through that
Pirates locker room that I've covered. So I'm glad he's
getting this later in his career.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
That part of the parlay for Big Cat hit right.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
I mean, I don't remember what his whole play was.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
What was well, not the Cleveland loss, so that screwed him?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Oh did they yeah? Well yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
the third part of it. I forgot.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
And then the Yankees shut out Boston for to nothing beyond.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
The combination either because that was the over was seven runs.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Of Cam Schlittler and David Beddar wo up next to
them as Toronto. Schlit happens as these signs are saying
in New York that finished. Where did that kid come from?
Absolutely unbelievable. He was ninety eight in the zone the
whole time and they couldn't touch it. Everything was strikes
(19:17):
and they just couldn't touch it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
He was unreal. And also these kids have ice in
their veins.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
And I do like Carl Ravitch the fact that he
did point it out. It took him about seven innings
and like, Okay, the name's funny, we.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Have to address this.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
And then they just started panning all these signs in
the bronx of and the.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
Schlit right now, shlit happens.
Speaker 12 (19:36):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
So they get the Blue Jays next, La and Philly
is the other series. They all start on Saturday, and
I might find myself watching more baseball than college football.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Actually on Saturday. Well, I think I'm right there with you.
It's more compelling to me at this moment. I don't
know if you know, watching Pitt and Boston College is
gonna beat out watching the Visional series.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
W BVUS tonight. By the way, if you want to
stay up late for that one. I don't know what
gigs you got going? Yeah, they got BYU on the
road ten thirty late start in Provo. They're terrible. How
did Pitt lose a WVU? He might be asking on Monday?
How do they lose to BC? She seed our Newsy
getting heckled by the students. He went out to like
a little pap rally thing that kids like, filmed it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
They're like eckling them. But the one kid's like forty
million dollars buyout. We can't afford to fire you.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Wow, he is going to see that and be sensitive
about it too. I think we all know that he
his shtick is old and people at like around that
program and like she doesn't pay attention to this stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yes, yes he does. They all do.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He hears everything when somebody goes I don't pay attention
to social media.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
They pay attention to social media.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Penn State and UCLA the other game of local interest.
Ducune taking on Stonehill, Robert Morris is taking on Mercy Hurst.
As far as the NFL Weekend San Francisco against the
Rams twenty six to twenty three, Mac Jones and Matt
Stafford combined for seven hundred and thirty one yards passing
an overtime win for the Niners. San Francisco came into
(21:06):
that game with like the COVID Ravens lineup yeap, like
when the Ravens came here in that COVID year with
half a team it felt like, and they still managed
to win that game somehow. The AFC North situation while
the Steelers are on the by goes like this. There's
a game in every window if you want to watch,
starting early Cleveland in London against the Vikings. Baltimore at
(21:28):
home versus the Texans at won the Bengals host Detroit
at four to twenty five. So if you want to
watch the division, you can watch the division all day
on Sunday. As far as the bye week goes to
the stations terrible though, yeah, I know.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Well that could be good. You can enjoy watching them
all lose.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Maybe the Steelers.
Speaker 10 (21:45):
Could have a good bye week if they don't even
have to play, and maybe pick up some ground. Arthur
Smith talking about the run game with the extra tackle
and how much that helped last time out against the
Vikings in Ireland.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
Was something we wore from You know, Spencer's unique. You
know you got to use it just kind of give
you an advantage in years past. You know sometimes people
use that jump bot, tight end or extra lineman, uh,
and they can limit you depending on what that spencer
is such a good athlete, and then you know, we
just things we've had in and you know, looking at
it and then the way we wanted to attack them
(22:19):
and some of the things we wanted to go after.
And you put him in Darnell together, and then you
put him next to one of the tackles. He's about
a thousand pounds over you give or take for cars,
and what Darnell's wait twisted at.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
Yeah, I don't know how they get away with listing
him at two sixty. That would be like you know,
me listing myself at two sixty right, two hundred and
sixty pounds Darnell Washington.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Are they not weighing a leg or.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
Staying with one leg in the scale?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Who are you fooling with?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
That?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
He is a transformer? Unfolds.

Yeah.

draft pick in the NHL Draft.

It's such a big deal.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
NHL Network is picking up the game, the Penn State
Arizona State game tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Penn State land him. Did what's his name pay for him? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, they paid him, gave.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Him more money than anybody else in terms of nil.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
And the question was if he was even gonna go
and play college?
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Right, Well, he couldn't draft him this year, I mean right.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But he was going to maybe go play for the
Canadian League.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Yeah, he's gonna maybe stay with the junior ranks. But
they're allowed to pay him now and he can come
from Canada and playing college hockey. So he did to
both worlds for him. Penn State's loaded this year. They're
the number five team in the country. RM you and
Bowling Green and Waterloo for Robert Morris as they get
their preseason going. The women rep a midgie A one correction,

Speaker 2 (24:56):
When we're all debating about Taylor Swift's new album and
whether or not it's actually going to be received well
or not.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
I mean, these lyrics sound terrible.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
The lyrics are really bad. Yeah, but what's terrible? Give
me an example of some of the lyrics.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Lazy like stuff a girl would just write in her diary.
And I'm only saying that by comparison to what we
are supposed to think about Taylor Swift, for all of
the accolades that have been put upon her and the
comparisons to Bob Dylan, there's not a lot of description
going on there.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
That's just like a you talk about me, you must
love me.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, And do we think I honestly, I don't want
to bring it all back to this. I think Sean
is probably the closest of us to a SWIFTYE. Do
we think that maybe this album isn't great because she's
in a happy place right now.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I haven't heard it yet. I'm waiting for the right moment,
quiet room, I.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Have to be sad, like, what is the right moment
look like?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Uh No, I just want to pay attention to it,
which means, you know, okay when when I'm undistressed.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And to your point about I didn't try to be
a SWIFTYE. I didn't. I didn't plan this out. I
was telling you off the air.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
She was my number one on Spotify one ear and
I didn't remember listening to her all that much, just
because I think it's really good.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Like I'm working and I put an.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Album around music for you. Sometimes I think it is.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Possible that her her happiness has undermined her creative spark.
I think it's more accurate that she just did the
biggest concert tour in the history of humanity and threw
together two albums in the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
She These are the actual lyrics of the song on
her new record called Actually Romantic, which is all digs
at Charlie XCX. I heard you call me boring Barbie
when the coochs got you brave high five my ex
and then you say you're glad he ghosted me, wrote
me a song saying it makes you sick to see
(27:04):
my face. Some people might be offended. I don't know
where the rhymes are, but it's actually sweet. All the
time you spent on me, it's honestly wild, all the
effort you put in, it's actually romantic. That's the refrain.
I really got to hand it to you. No man
has ever loved me like you do. Hadn't thought of
you in a long time that you keep sending me
funny Valentines. I know you think it comes off vicious,
(27:25):
but it's precious, adorable, like a toy chiuah while barking
at me from a tiny purse. That's how much it hurts.
How many times has your boyfriend said? Why are we
always talking about her? And then it goes to the refrain,
it's actually sweet. All the time you spent on me,
it's honestly wild, all the effort you put in, it's
actually romantic. If you write a song about her, you're
thinking about her a lot.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Oh yeah, you're.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hurting and it it doesn't affect you as much as
a chihuah wah barking at you from somebody's purse. Because
you put it on a record, you're gonna have to
perform this live over and over. Also, terrible lyrics, not good.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Here's my theory on that one. What's what's the biggest
song of last year? Song of that year? Record of
the year? Performed at the super Bowl track against Drake
that got so big and she went who do I hate?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Who can I do this about?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yep? We hate it. I think the lyrics are terrible.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I haven't heard it.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I'm just on this when I when I hear that,
when I hear this song for real. I will just
picture Randy reciting the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Well, maybe it's Taylor Swift, Max Martin and Shellback. I mean,
she writes with those guys on everything. But I'm sure
this song bops and everything, and I have nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
If you love her, that's cool. She's just never been
something that I was.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I've got into, but I don't forgrudge anybody doing it,
like being like obsessed with her.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
It's it's what makes music great. It's just to me,
I have a hard time seeing it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
When they're like she's the Bob Dylan of our time,
I'm like, I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
The song that she had where you know what she
was it was like touchdown and she was like doing
all these football oh yeah, like like in the song, like.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
That's what I don't remember that her.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Her audience doesn't like dwindle as a result of this,
so like they love what she's doing, so good for her.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah, Like when we say, oh, this is a not
great album or these aren't great lyrics, I mean to us,
but we're not in the universe that is listening to
her music and making her a billionaire.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I'm not there.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
If they don't like it, that'll be interesting. I'll be
interested to see, Like, if they don't like it, what
do they do? Like do they just eat that?
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Do they just swallow hard and buy another album?
Speaker 13 (29:46):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I bet that the reaction is because the reviews are
mixed at best. Tim Men's was just looking up some
and read some unflattering ones. I would bet that people
think when Taylor swet, if you're in a swifty, you
think that that just more grist for the mill. Yeah,
oh yeah, they hate us because they hate us, and
she has.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
To put out about album so she can put out
an even better album because of the reaction to this album.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Exactly, she needed to put out one that would get
scorned so she'd have something to be upset about because
her life is so great.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Yep, well even this one is the short one, Like
there's only there's a normal number of songs, all tracks,
and that's after the last album. She revealed on release
day that it was a double album with twenty five songs,
and everyone said half of them more bad. So, yes,
it's a cycle. It's a cycle of her relationship. Yeah,
(30:40):
And honestly, I have no dog in this fight. It's
not for me.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I don't really, I don't feel strongly about it. I
do think it's funny though, that She's like, I don't
think about you at all.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You wrote into tire song.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
But in fairness to her, that could have only taken
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Right, Well, it kind of seems like it did.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I mean he should have thought about her more.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
The producers should have been like, how about if we
rhyme your hate instead? Sean Collier, I've been anxious to
hear what you think about the new rock movie, The
Smashing Machine, because A I love the title of this
and he he looks terrifying in this movie in a
way that I've.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Never seen him.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
It looks like the UCGI to make him even more
like Hulklike, no, he just does that. He is he
is so bizarrely focused on how do I bulk up
this way in that way? You know, I'm sure, I'm
sure it's not one hundred percent natural, but oh no,
no no. But I mean he's you know, if you
if you follow him, he's you know, very capable of
(31:38):
getting so hyper fixated on this is how I make
my arms look like boulders that I'm sure he did
that himself.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
What's his daily caloric intake. Oh, it's it's.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Oh he posted one time one of his meals and
it was a whole table.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
That's that's why.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
The thing about how he's constantly peeing, how if when
you're on set with him, he's just constantly feeling because
he's taking so much in. Yeah, it's like an oil
change that never ends. With this guy bulking up to
do a big, important biopic of someone I've truly never
heard of, the entire media when one of these movies
(32:15):
happens has to spend months going as Oh, yes, of course,
mixed martial arts legend Mark Kerr. That's absolutely a name
I knew well enough that I didn't have to look
it up again immediately after I saw the movie. But
it hardly matters because two big things going for it. First,
this is the first film written and directed by Benny
Safti since Uncut Gems Okay, that's his previous film which
(32:42):
really worked. And Second, an allegedly you know, at least
nomination worthy performance early in the season Wow from Dwayne
the Rock Johnson. I tell you know, when I first
saw him team with Triple H at a SmackDown taping
at the Civic Arena in two thousand and one. I
thought Oscar Oscar for this guy. I knew it all along.
(33:04):
I think that you actually have to adjust your expectations
of what this movie is going to be walking into it,
because it is kind of a quiet character study of
a weird guy.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I kind of thought.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
It was going to be uncut gems, that there was
some because I don't know anything about Markerr. I thought
there was some very dramatic, tense story about this guy's life,
and I at least thought, you know, he must have
a remarkable history that's different from Neither of those things
is true. This is just man, is this kind of
(33:43):
a weird guy. He looks like a mountain, but he's
very controlled and soft spoken and sensitive, and you know
he kind of cries easily, and you know, it's all
just this guy's weird. What's a Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
You're not going to get as many people.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
So if you go in like this is almost an
art film, this is a This is a character study
first and foremost, you're gonna enjoy it. I kind of
walked out saying, wait, why is this guy a movie?
Because like the drugs and the losses and the struggles
and the you know, trouble on the home front, so
autun for a sports movie that I was like, where
was the story?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
But as I sit with it more, I think.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Yeah, that was pretty good, just because I feel like,
I know this weird dude.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Now I'm thinking of the wrestler, like I'm thinking of
just showing like just what that lifestyle does to a person.
Like the wrestler was incredibly sad. I didn't expect that,
is it? Is it kind of in that vein where.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
It is it's more about his relationship than anything. Emily
Blunt plays this girlfriend that like just kind of doesn't
get him. You know, it's a bad relationship that they're
both stuck in, and that's more the story than what
it's like to be a nineties mixed martial artist when
it was very unregulated and very chaotic.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Note rules.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
There's a little of that in there, but it's mostly
just about this guy. If you're there for the performance,
he's great. Is it Oscar worthy? I don't know that
the Academy didn't get uncut gems and didn't award anything
to that. I'm not sure this is more likely to
get their attention, But people like him and people love
the you know, the Hollywood guy, the blockbuster guy doing
(35:32):
the serious turn.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
So, speaking of Uncut Gems, did anybody watch Black Rabbit
on Netflix?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
No?
Speaker 6 (35:38):
No, highly recommend has an Uncut Gems sort of vibe
to it, but it's like eight episodes or maybe even ten.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Jude Law and Jason Maateman very.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Good, panic attack the whole time.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Kind of Yeah, that's that's what made uncut Gems are great.
And it's different from the Smashing Mission. But hey see
the Smashing Machine. Because in six months, we're all going
to be required by law to love UFC, by federal edict.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I love study now.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
The very beginning of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. I loved
it when it was different styles going up against each other,
like where it was a Greco Roman wrestler versus a
muy tie boxer to see which discipline fares better in
the octagon.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Like that was when it was really fun.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
Now it's kind of too now everybody can do everything.
It's too scientific. It's just two guys on the anywhere
that sentence goes sounds home erotic. Well, it'll be fun
to see him fight in the oval office. Yeah, that's
all that'll be good. Also hitting dropping this weekend a
movie called The Lost Bus.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
The Lost Bus legend says, one day a rookie PAP
bus driver got lost because.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
He didn't about old m D tours. To this day
he still wanders deepest darkest carrit find a way back
to Bradsville, Ray and they call it the Lost Bus. Actually,
this is actually about a horrible disaster threatening the lives
(37:12):
of children. I had to do the insurir voice first
because it gets serious. This is about the campfire in Paradise, California.
Matthew McConaughey plays a school bus driver who's pulled into
service trying to rescue two dozen kids who are stuck
at their elementary school with the town on fire. Paul
Greengrass of The Born Movies and Captain Phillips directs America
(37:33):
ferraras the teacher. It's good and it's compelling, but it
is bleak. They are going through hell, I know. Actually
the problem with it is the first half hour is
just making us understand that this bus driver's life is
miserable too, Like his dad's dead and his mom's sick,
and he has to put his dog down. It's like
(37:53):
we're gonna be sad enough when the kids might catch
on fire? Can this be Kurt Russell for the first
thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
You know, let's take that wrestling movie about the family,
the Vaughan whatever, the Iron Claw about the Erics.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, that is the saddest.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Their real story is so sad they could not include
one of the storylines from real life.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
There were extra dead brothers that they had to cut
out because no one will believe there are this many
dead brothers. Well, yeah, that's those are tough rewatches. Usually
watch them once and you're like that that's enough. Yeah,
if you love a serious true action movie. The Lost
Buses on Apple TV plus well directed, well acted, all
right retro pic just a bad time on that one
Better Time with Sean of the Dead back at row House.
(38:37):
Lawrence Filt somehow more than twenty years old. Now, Uh,
the joke old. The joke in this movie is that
it's ridiculous that he wants to ride out the zombie
apocalypse by going to his local bar in Pittsburgh. That
is a solid plan. Yeah, your neighborhood bar is eighty
years old. It's made of brick and lead. There's one door,
no windows, and there's probably a ton of guns in
(38:59):
there on icy light and bags of chips for days.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
A great point Shawn Collier from Pittsburgh Magazine and he's
got your news.
Speaker 5 (39:05):

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Of people who think that the cold plunges are bad
for you, not just not good for you, that they
are actively bad for you. So there is all kinds
of disparate information out there about that stuff. I think
that the proof has been putting when I've done it,
it has definitely helped me with that.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, I mean athletes have been doing it for how long.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Like you're get in the cold tub, it produces inflammation,
and that's not really arguable at this point.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, the supplement world is where you could really get
into a long ass discussion about which one's work, which
ones don't, and how far down the rabbit hole are
you on all of those Like fish oils, that was
a big one where everyone's like, oh, hey, you got
to have fish oil every day, and then they're like,
actually these are bad to America.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, but if you don't.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Have it with Pepper, Who's Pepper?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
All right, Sean Collier and BM with some movie reviews,
including the new rock movie The Smashing Machine, which is
maybe the best title for a movie I've seen it
in a long time. I love that because he looks
like a smashing machine. In the previews, also Sean Collier
or Sean Casey.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
We're full of Shawn's having come back from Ireland doing
a wild card roundup for us, and Abbey's got your
news right now.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Wet Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Today partly sunny and very warm.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
It's a high of seventy eight, and this weekend looks perfect.
Saturday sunshine, high eighty and Sunday sunshine and a high
of eighty one. I know, I just put up that's
one of my Halloween decorations last night, and now they're
just gonna get crispy.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Taylor swiss twelfth studio album.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
The Life of a Showgirl officially came out at midnight,
but Pittsburgh area fans were lining up as early as
eight pm last night and the soul.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Southville's Village Target.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Why to get the record first?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Like they're lining up in front of Spotify.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah no, they want the physical vinyl.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Well, actually think is a good thing.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I agree with you. I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
But it does surprise me because her fan base does
not strike me as the kind that wants the the
actual physical media.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
I feel like Vinyls even back with that.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Is it all or is it? Are they still making CDs?
Targets are still making CDs.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
There are CD and vinyl versions, but I mean again,
it's a little bit at least more in vogue. I
think to have a record player now than it is
to have a CD player. Sure right, Either way, the
store extended its hours just to accommodate the Swifties, so
(02:51):
they made sure that they were.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ready to go hilarious.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Target fans said that fans could snag four exclusive products,
so you could get like a Vinyl a CD. You
could also get a Summertime Sprit Pink Shimmer vinyl, and
then Wendy's Today is offering a free side of small fries.
This is like the loosest connection that they could possibly make.
(03:18):
They just you have to have the app and then
anything you purchase over five bucks you get free fries
for the most Glamorous Friday year.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Wait, all right, that is to promote Taylor's album. Yeah, so,
but do you have to show proof of purchase with
the of the album.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
Here's the thing. No, Wendy's is just jumping on his train.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So she didn't do this in conjunction.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
I don't think so. I don't think so, because that.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Would be a weird partner for her. Yeah, Wendy's.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Yeah, she has to go to Tropical Cafe.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right, a free copy of her new album with every
Baconator purchase.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
What Travis would sound like? He would be behind that one?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, yeah, awesome surprise. I guy Wendy's on board, Travis. No,
we get so many sandwiches. I still can't believe she married.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
She's marrying him, I mean, what the hell is this
album about? She's happy right now. It can't be great.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
She did tea off on Charlie XCX.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
I know what did she say about Charli XCX.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
She said something I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Don't get mad Swifties because I don't know the exact lyrics,
but something about like I heard you talking bleep about
me when you're feeling strong after doing coke or something.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I mean, it's definitely not that that's putting out truck.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Wow, the bullied have become the bully.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That's the world, right, Nerds and jocks have united.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, I mean in that couple.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
All right, Well to cleanse the palette.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Ac DC's fireworks at the end of their concert at
Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium exceeded permitted noise levels. The Australian rockers
headed to the venue on August twenty first, is part
of their Power Up tour, and as reported by the BBC,
the City of Edinburgh Council received eight complaints from locals
about the noise pollution.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Council is now advising no fireworks are.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Allowed to be used at the stadium at all, so
ACDC kind of blew it for everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Way to go, ACDC.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
We didn't get to ask Connor the other day, but
I just wanted to ask him, like, do they use
fireworks at that park for Gaelic football games? Ut it down,
none of the theatrics right, nothing, but they they brought
it all in for the Steelers Vikings game.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It looked like it didn't go as planned.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't know, like the smoke and everything that went off,
Like they had the colors of the Irish flag and
flown off and cool, and then it's just turned into
a big cloud of indiscernible, you know, fog.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Well, I was talking to our co worker Dan yesterday,
who is you know, in like instrumental and putting on
the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Broadcasts producer of the Steelers network. And they lost power
before the game.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Before the game, like they were there six hours before
the game and still had a ton of technical difficulties
because they're plugging into outlets that you know, were the
wrong ones or that you know that blew a fuse.
Something happened where I don't think that stadium or that
park was was ready for what was in front of
(06:42):
it that day at.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
All, not at all.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I mean we were told two different times they lost
power and there was concern they would not be able
to get the radio broadcast off, which meant the TV
broadcast was in jeopardy. I'm sure they have some generators
in that case for those yeah, under those sense, because
there's too much money is wrapped up in that. But
(07:04):
the play clock and the one end zone did not
work and they couldn't get to work, and they told
both teams before the game, hey, no play clock when
you face this way, which thankfully it happened to be
the way the Vikings were facing on the drive that
they were trying to win the game on and it
cost them a delay a game.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I bet you they're not too happy about that.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They're pissed, and they should be. I mean, imagine our
reaction to that. If it happened to the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
We'd still be talking about it, never shut up. We
would be filing, never shut up. They would be all
kinds of you know, uh just podcasts freaking out and
uh filing claims with the with the with the commissioner.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
We have to appeal the outcome of this game. But
thankfully the Vikings I think are just too beleaguered right now,
having lost half of their.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Starters to their at so many problems.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There's so many players hurt in the NFL right now,
and the league wants to end so many crappy teams,
and the league wants to expand.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What do you think the quality of play is gonna be?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I don't know, but I was surprised. I don't know
if you watched him.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Mean, I was flipping around the baseball games last night
and the football game. Everybody is hurt on the forty
nine Ers, almost everybody. Christian McCaffrey is the lone exception,
and Mac Jones came out there and beat the Rams
last night with their fifth and six receiving options.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Kenny Pickett needs to get to Kyle Shanahan. Yeah, he does,
because that dude can win with anybody.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, and I don't know, he's turned turned Brock Purty
into a.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Franchise quarterback exactly. And then Matt Jones looks good and
Mac Jones looked awful prior to being there. Did you
see how many positions Christian McCaffrey was listed at last
night because of all the injuries. He's like he was
the best backup quarterback. He's like the backup receiver, Like
he had five designations punt returners back if that dies?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
What twenty five four, twenty three, twenty two.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
He's commenting on it, reading rainbow is back. Unfortunately, LeVar
Burton is not a part of this. They are going
with a new younger host. His name is Michael Threetz.
He's been going by his reat Yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
I don't know what that.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
I don't know, but his name is Michael the librarian,
I guess on TikTok and that's what he's using. He
is the resident librarian for PBS Kids, And so the
show is going to air on PBS, but there's gonna
be a lot of celebrity guests, Gabrielle Union, Adam Devine,
Christy Teagan, and John Legend. There is no word yet
on an air date, but for everybody else the original
(09:59):
reading Rainbow, Oh, that was eighty three, believe it or not,
to two thousand and six, Christy Taken looks like a
cabbage patch doll, all grown up.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Her face looks like it's all buttoned.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah, you know, everything is perfectly.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
When you were a little kid, did you ever have
the mirrors that would open like it, like your medicine cabinet,
Like the mirror open.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Do you ever put your face halfway through? Who wanted
just to see what it would look like? That's what
looks like to me.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I like her. Yeah, she just looks like a cabbage
patchanal to be.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Man, the way this dude spells his name is annoying.
Michael m y c h A L.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Come on, man, well there's that comedian Mike Kaplan. M
like q oh.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I mean, I guess it's it's time to to start over,
right with that? With the reading Rainbow, like, yeah, it
doesn't matter, Like I don't expect LeVar Burton to do
it into his.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I did well the other day, is like you have
to let oh that stuff because it's not for you anymore.
It's like the people who have like turned Steve from
Blues Clues, they're these people are adults now and they
watched him when he was a kid, and they're just
so infantiized constantly. Everybody hates the fact that they grow
(11:23):
up and they rely way too much on this stuff
from their childhood. It's like, you know, I've said it
many times, the whole mister Rogers quote of like look
for the helpers. If you're an adult, you're not supposed
to use that for other adults.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Like you're just supposed to be the helper.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Supposed to be the helper.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
At this point, so many people are like look for
the helpers, Like, no, dude, say hey, I'm a helper.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It's to make kids feel safer, not adults.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Have you seen that dude, Steve from Blues.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, it's a podcast now, it's really good, Is it really?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I have no doubt.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I mean he seemed talented, but I mean, is he
talking down to his adult audience like their children, because
he kind of did that during COVID on that one
post and everybody was like they loved that he checked
in with everyone, and I just thought, like, hey, we
are not okay?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yeah yeah, I mean I think he's doing like a
lot more.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Self help type stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Like the things that he's saying is just he's just like, hey, man,
just checking in, like how are you?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You are? Right right now? Just be here with me
for a second.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
And it's like, you know, big gaps of him not
saying anything and just sitting outside and breathing with you.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It's mild.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
I don't just got you, but I just caution people
against relying too much on their childhood show hosts as
their source of respite.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I mean, I can't think of anybody that I would
look to for that. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
For me, it'd be like Captain Kangaroo would be there
with that bowl cut and be.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Like, are you okay? Do you want to come sit
with me and mister green jeans because you.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Have no hair? Right, Like the dude from Blues Clues
has no hair, right.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
He does look very different now.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
He's not wearing that rugby, which helps I think.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh, I only picture him in the rugby No, no,
he's wearing not Max effect that.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Who would be your childhood I.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Mean for me because I'm older than you guys, it
was it was mister Rogers and Captain Kangaroo, and for.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Me it would probably be pee Wee and he's you know,
permanently unavailable.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And I only knew pee Wee as the original pee
Wee Herman show from the Groundlings that was on HBO,
which was very much adult oriented, so like I never
attached him as a children's host, and then watching that
Peewee documentary, that's when it was I was really like, boy,
I never waited enough how much he was actually seen
(14:03):
as a host of a kids show, and that made
all of his stuff even like way more egregious, particularly
like just the sort of details of all that. It's like,
once you became that guy and you decided to be that.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Guy, you got all that other shit.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Yeah, you don't get to also be this avant garde
artist who's like on the edge of things because the
kids are relying on you to not be that.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I don't think I knew about the show like the
One Man Show till I was well into adulthood.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I was only I was obsessed with the show whenever
that aired Saturday afternoons or mornings.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, and I never would watched it because his house
like that house.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
I mean, any kid growing up was like, if I
had money, this would be my house.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, Sean and I are the same age. So I'm
trying to think of like what I did watch mister
Rogers reruns and things like that. But I also think
of Sharon Lewis and Brown from The Elephant Show and
Eureka's Castle.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Sherry Lewis lamb Truck. She would be comforting a lot
better than Barney the Dinosaur. I do not want Barney
coming to me in my time of need.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
That would because it would have to be Barney.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
It couldn't be the person inside of Barney because then
you'd be like, who the hell are you? Yeah, like
I'm Barney, but no you're not.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Wasn't there didn't the guy inside of the Barney get
busted for something?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Or am?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I thinking of Almo.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Elmo am But I think there was a lot circulating
around that time that, like, because it was just fun
internet lore, that there had to be something deeply, deeply wrong,
which she was ever in that costume?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Did you hear Barney had two of his ribs removed?
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Barney's the kid from Wonder Years, Paulier.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Bartley's sunny very warm Today, it's a hive seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (15:55):

Speaker 10 (16:59):
Well, I've been happy this week filling in for Mike
with how much baseball we've talked about with the playoffs
and how interesting those series have been. So let's just
start there to wrap up the first round. The wild
Card is done and I think it deserves attention to
begin with, We'll kind of go in order of how
the games went yesterday. Detroit eliminates Cleveland six to three.
(17:20):
The Tigers get Seattle next in the American League, and
the Cubs sent home San Diego behind four shutout innings
from Jamison ty On three to one final score. Chicago
battles Milwaukee in a best of five nlds.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Next.
Speaker 9 (17:36):
This is tie On in the celebratory Cubs locker.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
Room, speaking with a reporter who I cannot identify because
she's apparently wearing a mate of the missed champagne condom
while interviewing him.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
As you could hear in the background, that was incredible.
Wrigley was unlike anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Tonight.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
At first inting I remember striking out Tatis to start
the game and thinking to myself, I'm noise energy.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Being able to do it.
Speaker 12 (18:05):
This group of guys like Dansy Nico have I've played
with them now for a few years. Getting to grow
together and be a part of this with them is
really special.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
And he's like wiping the champagne off his face and
flicking it on us. He's talking because he's going blind.
Happy for him, so happy as we've talked about a
couple of times the last forty eight hours, and knowing
that he might get a start here and pitch pitched. Well,
he's one of the better guys to come through that
Pirates locker room that I've covered. So I'm glad he's
getting this later in his career.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
That part of the parlay for Big Cat hit right.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
I mean, I don't remember what his whole play was.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
What was well, not the Cleveland loss, so that screwed him?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Oh did they yeah? Well yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
the third part of it. I forgot.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
And then the Yankees shut out Boston for to nothing beyond.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
The combination either because that was the over was seven runs.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
Of Cam Schlittler and David Beddar wo up next to
them as Toronto. Schlit happens as these signs are saying
in New York that finished. Where did that kid come from?
Absolutely unbelievable. He was ninety eight in the zone the
whole time and they couldn't touch it. Everything was strikes
(19:17):
and they just couldn't touch it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
He was unreal. And also these kids have ice in
their veins.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
And I do like Carl Ravitch the fact that he
did point it out. It took him about seven innings
and like, Okay, the name's funny, we.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
Have to address this.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
And then they just started panning all these signs in
the bronx of and the.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
Schlit right now, shlit happens.
Speaker 12 (19:36):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
So they get the Blue Jays next, La and Philly
is the other series. They all start on Saturday, and
I might find myself watching more baseball than college football.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Actually on Saturday. Well, I think I'm right there with you.
It's more compelling to me at this moment. I don't
know if you know, watching Pitt and Boston College is
gonna beat out watching the Visional series.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
W BVUS tonight. By the way, if you want to
stay up late for that one. I don't know what
gigs you got going? Yeah, they got BYU on the
road ten thirty late start in Provo. They're terrible. How
did Pitt lose a WVU? He might be asking on Monday?
How do they lose to BC? She seed our Newsy
getting heckled by the students. He went out to like
a little pap rally thing that kids like, filmed it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
They're like eckling them. But the one kid's like forty
million dollars buyout. We can't afford to fire you.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
Wow, he is going to see that and be sensitive
about it too. I think we all know that he
his shtick is old and people at like around that
program and like she doesn't pay attention to this stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yes, yes he does. They all do.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He hears everything when somebody goes I don't pay attention
to social media.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
They pay attention to social media.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Penn State and UCLA the other game of local interest.
Ducune taking on Stonehill, Robert Morris is taking on Mercy Hurst.
As far as the NFL Weekend San Francisco against the
Rams twenty six to twenty three, Mac Jones and Matt
Stafford combined for seven hundred and thirty one yards passing
an overtime win for the Niners. San Francisco came into
(21:06):
that game with like the COVID Ravens lineup yeap, like
when the Ravens came here in that COVID year with
half a team it felt like, and they still managed
to win that game somehow. The AFC North situation while
the Steelers are on the by goes like this. There's
a game in every window if you want to watch,
starting early Cleveland in London against the Vikings. Baltimore at
(21:28):
home versus the Texans at won the Bengals host Detroit
at four to twenty five. So if you want to
watch the division, you can watch the division all day
on Sunday. As far as the bye week goes to
the stations terrible though, yeah, I know.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Well that could be good. You can enjoy watching them
all lose.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Maybe the Steelers.
Speaker 10 (21:45):
Could have a good bye week if they don't even
have to play, and maybe pick up some ground. Arthur
Smith talking about the run game with the extra tackle
and how much that helped last time out against the
Vikings in Ireland.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
Was something we wore from You know, Spencer's unique. You
know you got to use it just kind of give
you an advantage in years past. You know sometimes people
use that jump bot, tight end or extra lineman, uh,
and they can limit you depending on what that spencer
is such a good athlete, and then you know, we
just things we've had in and you know, looking at
it and then the way we wanted to attack them
(22:19):
and some of the things we wanted to go after.
And you put him in Darnell together, and then you
put him next to one of the tackles. He's about
a thousand pounds over you give or take for cars,
and what Darnell's wait twisted at.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
Yeah, I don't know how they get away with listing
him at two sixty. That would be like you know,
me listing myself at two sixty right, two hundred and
sixty pounds Darnell Washington.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Are they not weighing a leg or.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
Staying with one leg in the scale?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Who are you fooling with?
Speaker 5 (22:47):
That?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
He is a transformer? Unfolds.

Speaker 10 (23:09):
NHL Network is picking up the game, the Penn State
Arizona State game tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Penn State land him. Did what's his name pay for him? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, they paid him, gave.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Him more money than anybody else in terms of nil.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
And the question was if he was even gonna go
and play college?
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Right, Well, he couldn't draft him this year, I mean right.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But he was going to maybe go play for the
Canadian League.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Yeah, he's gonna maybe stay with the junior ranks. But
they're allowed to pay him now and he can come
from Canada and playing college hockey. So he did to
both worlds for him. Penn State's loaded this year. They're
the number five team in the country. RM you and
Bowling Green and Waterloo for Robert Morris as they get
their preseason going. The women rep a midgie A one correction,

Speaker 2 (24:56):
When we're all debating about Taylor Swift's new album and
whether or not it's actually going to be received well
or not.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
I mean, these lyrics sound terrible.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
The lyrics are really bad. Yeah, but what's terrible? Give
me an example of some of the lyrics.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Lazy like stuff a girl would just write in her diary.
And I'm only saying that by comparison to what we
are supposed to think about Taylor Swift, for all of
the accolades that have been put upon her and the
comparisons to Bob Dylan, there's not a lot of description
going on there.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
That's just like a you talk about me, you must
love me.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, And do we think I honestly, I don't want
to bring it all back to this. I think Sean
is probably the closest of us to a SWIFTYE. Do
we think that maybe this album isn't great because she's
in a happy place right now.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I haven't heard it yet. I'm waiting for the right moment,
quiet room, I.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Have to be sad, like, what is the right moment
look like?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Uh No, I just want to pay attention to it,
which means, you know, okay when when I'm undistressed.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And to your point about I didn't try to be
a SWIFTYE. I didn't. I didn't plan this out. I
was telling you off the air.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
She was my number one on Spotify one ear and
I didn't remember listening to her all that much, just
because I think it's really good.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Like I'm working and I put an.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Album around music for you. Sometimes I think it is.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Possible that her her happiness has undermined her creative spark.
I think it's more accurate that she just did the
biggest concert tour in the history of humanity and threw
together two albums in the middle of it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
She These are the actual lyrics of the song on
her new record called Actually Romantic, which is all digs
at Charlie XCX. I heard you call me boring Barbie
when the coochs got you brave high five my ex
and then you say you're glad he ghosted me, wrote
me a song saying it makes you sick to see
(27:04):
my face. Some people might be offended. I don't know
where the rhymes are, but it's actually sweet. All the
time you spent on me, it's honestly wild, all the
effort you put in, it's actually romantic. That's the refrain.
I really got to hand it to you. No man
has ever loved me like you do. Hadn't thought of
you in a long time that you keep sending me
funny Valentines. I know you think it comes off vicious,
(27:25):
but it's precious, adorable, like a toy chiuah while barking
at me from a tiny purse. That's how much it hurts.
How many times has your boyfriend said? Why are we
always talking about her? And then it goes to the refrain,
it's actually sweet. All the time you spent on me,
it's honestly wild, all the effort you put in, it's
actually romantic. If you write a song about her, you're
thinking about her a lot.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Oh yeah, you're.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Hurting and it it doesn't affect you as much as
a chihuah wah barking at you from somebody's purse. Because
you put it on a record, you're gonna have to
perform this live over and over. Also, terrible lyrics, not good.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Here's my theory on that one. What's what's the biggest
song of last year? Song of that year? Record of
the year? Performed at the super Bowl track against Drake
that got so big and she went who do I hate?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Who can I do this about?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yep? We hate it. I think the lyrics are terrible.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I haven't heard it.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
I'm just on this when I when I hear that,
when I hear this song for real. I will just
picture Randy reciting the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Well, maybe it's Taylor Swift, Max Martin and Shellback. I mean,
she writes with those guys on everything. But I'm sure
this song bops and everything, and I have nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
If you love her, that's cool. She's just never been
something that I was.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I've got into, but I don't forgrudge anybody doing it,
like being like obsessed with her.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
It's it's what makes music great. It's just to me,
I have a hard time seeing it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
When they're like she's the Bob Dylan of our time,
I'm like, I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
The song that she had where you know what she
was it was like touchdown and she was like doing
all these football oh yeah, like like in the song, like.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
That's what I don't remember that her.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Her audience doesn't like dwindle as a result of this,
so like they love what she's doing, so good for her.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah, Like when we say, oh, this is a not
great album or these aren't great lyrics, I mean to us,
but we're not in the universe that is listening to
her music and making her a billionaire.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I'm not there.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
If they don't like it, that'll be interesting. I'll be
interested to see, Like, if they don't like it, what
do they do? Like do they just eat that?
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Do they just swallow hard and buy another album?
Speaker 13 (29:46):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I bet that the reaction is because the reviews are
mixed at best. Tim Men's was just looking up some
and read some unflattering ones. I would bet that people
think when Taylor swet, if you're in a swifty, you
think that that just more grist for the mill. Yeah,
oh yeah, they hate us because they hate us, and
she has.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
To put out about album so she can put out
an even better album because of the reaction to this album.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Exactly, she needed to put out one that would get
scorned so she'd have something to be upset about because
her life is so great.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Yep, well even this one is the short one, Like
there's only there's a normal number of songs, all tracks,
and that's after the last album. She revealed on release
day that it was a double album with twenty five songs,
and everyone said half of them more bad. So, yes,
it's a cycle. It's a cycle of her relationship. Yeah,
(30:40):
And honestly, I have no dog in this fight. It's
not for me.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I don't really, I don't feel strongly about it. I
do think it's funny though, that She's like, I don't
think about you at all.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You wrote into tire song.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
But in fairness to her, that could have only taken
five minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Right, Well, it kind of seems like it did.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I mean he should have thought about her more.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
The producers should have been like, how about if we
rhyme your hate instead? Sean Collier, I've been anxious to
hear what you think about the new rock movie, The
Smashing Machine, because A I love the title of this
and he he looks terrifying in this movie in a
way that I've.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Never seen him.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
It looks like the UCGI to make him even more
like Hulklike, no, he just does that. He is he
is so bizarrely focused on how do I bulk up
this way in that way? You know, I'm sure, I'm
sure it's not one hundred percent natural, but oh no,
no no. But I mean he's you know, if you
if you follow him, he's you know, very capable of
(31:38):
getting so hyper fixated on this is how I make
my arms look like boulders that I'm sure he did
that himself.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
What's his daily caloric intake. Oh, it's it's.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Oh he posted one time one of his meals and
it was a whole table.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
That's that's why.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
The thing about how he's constantly peeing, how if when
you're on set with him, he's just constantly feeling because
he's taking so much in. Yeah, it's like an oil
change that never ends. With this guy bulking up to
do a big, important biopic of someone I've truly never
heard of, the entire media when one of these movies
(32:15):
happens has to spend months going as Oh, yes, of course,
mixed martial arts legend Mark Kerr. That's absolutely a name
I knew well enough that I didn't have to look
it up again immediately after I saw the movie. But
it hardly matters because two big things going for it. First,
this is the first film written and directed by Benny
Safti since Uncut Gems Okay, that's his previous film which
(32:42):
really worked. And Second, an allegedly you know, at least
nomination worthy performance early in the season Wow from Dwayne
the Rock Johnson. I tell you know, when I first
saw him team with Triple H at a SmackDown taping
at the Civic Arena in two thousand and one. I
thought Oscar Oscar for this guy. I knew it all along.
(33:04):
I think that you actually have to adjust your expectations
of what this movie is going to be walking into it,
because it is kind of a quiet character study of
a weird guy.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I kind of thought.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
It was going to be uncut gems, that there was
some because I don't know anything about Markerr. I thought
there was some very dramatic, tense story about this guy's life,
and I at least thought, you know, he must have
a remarkable history that's different from Neither of those things
is true. This is just man, is this kind of
(33:43):
a weird guy. He looks like a mountain, but he's
very controlled and soft spoken and sensitive, and you know
he kind of cries easily, and you know, it's all
just this guy's weird. What's a Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
You're not going to get as many people.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
So if you go in like this is almost an
art film, this is a This is a character study
first and foremost, you're gonna enjoy it. I kind of
walked out saying, wait, why is this guy a movie?
Because like the drugs and the losses and the struggles
and the you know, trouble on the home front, so
autun for a sports movie that I was like, where
was the story?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
But as I sit with it more, I think.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
Yeah, that was pretty good, just because I feel like,
I know this weird dude.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Now I'm thinking of the wrestler, like I'm thinking of
just showing like just what that lifestyle does to a person.
Like the wrestler was incredibly sad. I didn't expect that,
is it? Is it kind of in that vein where.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
It is it's more about his relationship than anything. Emily
Blunt plays this girlfriend that like just kind of doesn't
get him. You know, it's a bad relationship that they're
both stuck in, and that's more the story than what
it's like to be a nineties mixed martial artist when
it was very unregulated and very chaotic.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Note rules.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
There's a little of that in there, but it's mostly
just about this guy. If you're there for the performance,
he's great. Is it Oscar worthy? I don't know that
the Academy didn't get uncut gems and didn't award anything
to that. I'm not sure this is more likely to
get their attention, But people like him and people love
the you know, the Hollywood guy, the blockbuster guy doing
(35:32):
the serious turn.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
So, speaking of Uncut Gems, did anybody watch Black Rabbit
on Netflix?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
No?
Speaker 6 (35:38):
No, highly recommend has an Uncut Gems sort of vibe
to it, but it's like eight episodes or maybe even ten.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Jude Law and Jason Maateman very.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Good, panic attack the whole time.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Kind of Yeah, that's that's what made uncut Gems are great.
And it's different from the Smashing Mission. But hey see
the Smashing Machine. Because in six months, we're all going
to be required by law to love UFC, by federal edict.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I love study now.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
The very beginning of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. I loved
it when it was different styles going up against each other,
like where it was a Greco Roman wrestler versus a
muy tie boxer to see which discipline fares better in
the octagon.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Like that was when it was really fun.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
Now it's kind of too now everybody can do everything.
It's too scientific. It's just two guys on the anywhere
that sentence goes sounds home erotic. Well, it'll be fun
to see him fight in the oval office. Yeah, that's
all that'll be good. Also hitting dropping this weekend a
movie called The Lost Bus.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
The Lost Bus legend says, one day a rookie PAP
bus driver got lost because.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
He didn't about old m D tours. To this day
he still wanders deepest darkest carrit find a way back
to Bradsville, Ray and they call it the Lost Bus. Actually,
this is actually about a horrible disaster threatening the lives
(37:12):
of children. I had to do the insurir voice first
because it gets serious. This is about the campfire in Paradise, California.
Matthew McConaughey plays a school bus driver who's pulled into
service trying to rescue two dozen kids who are stuck
at their elementary school with the town on fire. Paul
Greengrass of The Born Movies and Captain Phillips directs America
(37:33):
ferraras the teacher. It's good and it's compelling, but it
is bleak. They are going through hell, I know. Actually
the problem with it is the first half hour is
just making us understand that this bus driver's life is
miserable too, Like his dad's dead and his mom's sick,
and he has to put his dog down. It's like
(37:53):
we're gonna be sad enough when the kids might catch
on fire? Can this be Kurt Russell for the first
thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
You know, let's take that wrestling movie about the family,
the Vaughan whatever, the Iron Claw about the Erics.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, that is the saddest.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Their real story is so sad they could not include
one of the storylines from real life.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
There were extra dead brothers that they had to cut
out because no one will believe there are this many
dead brothers. Well, yeah, that's those are tough rewatches. Usually
watch them once and you're like that that's enough. Yeah,
if you love a serious true action movie. The Lost
Buses on Apple TV plus well directed, well acted, all
right retro pic just a bad time on that one
Better Time with Sean of the Dead back at row House.
(38:37):
Lawrence Filt somehow more than twenty years old. Now, Uh,
the joke old. The joke in this movie is that
it's ridiculous that he wants to ride out the zombie
apocalypse by going to his local bar in Pittsburgh. That
is a solid plan. Yeah, your neighborhood bar is eighty
years old. It's made of brick and lead. There's one door,
no windows, and there's probably a ton of guns in
(38:59):
there on icy light and bags of chips for days.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
A great point Shawn Collier from Pittsburgh Magazine and he's
got your news.
Speaker 5 (39:05):
Next, the Tina Turner statue in Tennessee is awful.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
