Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
This is w d V Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
It is the DV Morning Show Randy Bauman with Bill
Crowford Abby Krisner. We have no producer today, so show
my time a little bit different. And I'm ham fisting
a lot of it over here. But you know what,
I'm okay with some ham in my fist.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You always were.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I never understood that phrase ham fisted. I guess that
means you have ham for fists. I don't know. And
you're just like very heavy. You're just you're not You're
not delicate, you're.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Not too fists full of chipped ham.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You're clumsy. See, when I grew up, it wasn't just
chipped ham. They called it chip chopped ham up and earie.
I don't know why the chopped was in there, just
to separate.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I think.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So now that I know better, everything right, I never
heard that before, chip chop ham. Yeah, but that's what
I was. My exclusive, that just chip chop ham and ketchup.
I can just live on that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah, white bread, imagine what your insides look like.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
No, when I was a kid, I'm saying that was
my jam. Coloney with mustard chip chopp ham with ketchup,
no cheese on either of them.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah, chipped ham and ketchup was my jam.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Cause it's kind of like just short of the barbecue
chip ham. And I still to this day do not
understand why more Pittsburgh restaurants do not serve barbecue chip cam.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Oh somebody had it scratch.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Did they?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, that would make sense.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Scratches And it was unbelievable because that's basically like a
Pittsburgh manwich.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, oh yeah right.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
By the way, manwich, how did that ever get out
of the marketing room? What are you gonna call it?
Man witch?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Man wich?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, I don't know, seven maybe we shouldn't call it that.
My friends like it.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
That's when you're in between two men.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
A man witch, you know it's a manly meal, Steve Wiz.
They're like, no, that's too gay. I'm gonna call it
sloppy Joe.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Sloppy Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Guess what that also?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh god, it was so good though.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Sloppy Joe's. I'll still rock a sloppy Joe off with those,
but I make them myself, and now I end up
using turkey a lot of time. Your well, I mean,
I'll make the sloppy Joe sauce myself.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
What are you making of it?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Sloppy jos come over, Joe comes over. God get sloppy.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You know they sell it and I can't.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I know, but it has so it like those aren't
always that good. You just do a little green pepper.
You can just use a little ketchup, a little a
little cooman cooman on those sloppy Joe's. Look out, Uh
yeah everywhere. The gayest sandwich so.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Gay, you know, I make them even gayer because minor vegan,
how do you do that extra firm tofu.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Lost me right there?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Sweet?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
And you shred it in a cheese greater and then
you dry it out in the oven with paprika and
cumin and onion powder, garlic powder, all of that, and
then you kind of make it almost like kind of
like a chicken kind of flavor. And then on the
stove you do like kind of like a slice like
(03:42):
almost onions and then like uh, barbecue sauce, stir fry
it and.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Then you know, now you got to surprise me with that.
I can't see that coming around.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That lead Does it taste like a slobby jo. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Can I ask you a question about tofu, like does
it come super firm or do you have to make
it super firm?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Because you can buy it super firm extra firm, or
you can freeze it.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Because don't you have to like sit an iron on it? No,
don't you have to like wrap it in a diaper
and put an iron.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
You can wrap it in paper towels and put like
cans on top of it so really press the water
out of it. Or you can put it in the
freezer and it will also kind of get the water
out of it, and then you can use it afterwards
and it kind of helps it stay extra firm.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I like the idea of tofu, but it gives you
man boob, so I can't really go for it if
you eat it exclusively.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
It has a little too much soy for.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
A normal man's diet. But you're not going to eat
it all the time. You're going to have other sources
of protein.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You think one meal, you have a rack, Bill Belichick.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
If it worked to give you a rack, do you
think I would be walking around double back like this?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I can't eat it. No, I have the media gonna
come ass to you. No, it's a rare condition.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Belichick must be munching that stuff all day and all night.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Dude, he's got some like got a tofu banking and
flat straight up sea cup. He's rocking right now. His
organization is an absolute mess. Wow, North Carolina is a disaster.
Yeah that they have to fire him, like, you can't
keep doing this. It is a joke of a college
football program right now. Also, Pitt might have found a quarterback. Yeah,
(05:33):
not the one they're paying, the one that's making more
money than most of the pirates.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And that way, he's more of a pirate than any
of them are.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
That's true, Abbe. He's got your news right now. What's
going on over there?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
News this hour brought to you by Window Nation, Sunny
Today and High of eighty.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right Aid is no more.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
The pharmacy has officially closed all of its stores, bringing
an end to more than six years in business. The
pharmacy chain confirmed the closures in a statement on its website,
saying all Right Aid sorts have now closed. We thank
our loyal customers for their many years of support. Right
Aid has struggled financially in recent years. Company files for
(06:15):
bankruptcy protection in May, just eight months after emerging from
a previous Chapter eleven filing in September of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
The company at the time operated over.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Twelve hundred stores across fifteen states from California to Vermont,
and had planned to keep stores open and sell off
assets in an effort to maintain prescription services for customers.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Twelve hundred stores, and nine hundred of them were in
a three block radius of each other. I know, too
many stores, too much stuff in the stores. Very easy
to see this coming. Yeah, you'd walk out of a
right aid and you could see a right Aid.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yep. I'm happy they finally just pulled the plug. Though.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Man, it was tough to walk into those stores when
they were open, but they didn't have anything.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No mem when Bert had an existential crisis walking through one,
Oh my good, I used to come to they got
it right.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Now, there's CBS, Walgreens. There's a lot of other options. Yeah,
it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's not, though, I don't know. I had a special
bond with right.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Now, definitely right. It was my spot too.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It was the Green Tree one I liked. I liked
that one. But now I'm a CBS girl.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, I mean you have.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
To adapt it, like.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
All the way down at the bottom of Green Tree Hill.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I like that one.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, that one was nice. Yeah, I like that one.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
They got rid of that a while ago. That's a
liquor store. Now it's a real nice liquor store too.
It's huge.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Well yeah, because it used to.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Be on Bower Hill.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I want I wonder if that'll like reopen, is a
blockbuster or what?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Like what happens a skate rink? It's an airplane hanger.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
All right.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
We all know how Taylor Swift loves her Easter eggs,
but on her new album, The Life of a show Girl,
she dropped it an Easter egg plant. I can't help it.
So we're gonna go through some Taylor Swift lyrics. Rob King,
I know you're listening.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So there's a song.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
On the album called Wood and it's a straight up
Oh Travis Kelsey's man Hammer And if you don't believe.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Me, we're gonna go through the lyrics.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Does man Hammer steam Roller playing this year?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I thought they broke up. Here's some of the lyrics.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Forgive me it sounds cocky, he ahmatized me and opened
my eyes, redwood Tree. It ain't hard to see his
love was the key that opened my thighs.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
This is okay, Taylor Swift. This is Taylor Swift. Girls.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
I don't need to catch the bouquet to know a
hard rock is on the way. And baby, I'll admit
I've been a little superstitious.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
The curse on me was broken by your magic.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Wand wow, how is there nobody in her orbit to
go bad?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Idea?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Not good?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Maybe don't do this? I mean, I know he was
probably thrilled with us. He co wrote it. It sounds
like it.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Oh, do you want to hear how very obvious it gets.
Seems to me seems to be that you.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
And me we make our own look luck new heights
of manhood.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I ain't got a knock on wood.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Abby.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You've known girls that have been d drunk before, right, this.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Isn't even d drunk. This is like the first time
I've ever.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Seen one Discovery Yeah, this is Discovery Zone. I just
cannot believe that this is the artist that commands stadiums
full of girls around the world, and this is unders
(10:02):
she could do.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I wonder what their reaction is because that was the
appeal for a lot of families out there was that
she doesn't do this kind of stuff and maybe, you know,
most of this will go over that audience's.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Head because they're little girls. Yeah yeah, And I think
you nailed it with the she tries to jump on
whatever trend is happening. I mean, look, if she's not
the only one to do the Rolling Stones were guilty
of this kiss yeah put at a disco song, you know,
I mean everybody who's a huge artist gets a little
nervous and then tries to conform to whatever trends are happening.
(10:38):
And I think she wanted to be Sabrina Carpenter and
it doesn't work for her.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
No, it doesn't. Like I know, if.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Chapel Roone put out that song, that would whatever.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
She would because Chapel Rone doesn't follow she exactly, which
is why she's appealing to p Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
But do you you would think Taylor's the one that
is confident enough to lead and she's really it seems
to me she's run out of stuff to write about.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
This is the thing that I you know, I hate
to fourth wallet with Taylor Swift, but I know, like
plenty of people that we've worked with so many times
that even in the very early days of Taylor Swift
used to say that, like, you know, backstage in her
early days, like there was an awkwardness there where people
(11:29):
like wouldn't even go to the meet and greets and
go talk to her, Like I think it's kind of
showing that like she's always been a dork, you know,
and so like she's and now she's a bully and
a dork at the same time, and it's just such.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
A weird, uh duality. I don't know, you.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Guys are playing with fire Mary you keep.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Me.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I'm in the Hailey Williams.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Tip the Whole Foods. I'll make it food. That's so
funny and it's super farm it's.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Super farm up food. Come get me.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I just think if you're a billionaire, you won and
you can't be the victim.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
And maybe have you looked around at the billionaires that
they're doing that.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I know that's a big thing for them.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, well, I don't know. It might be that her
fan base absolutely loves this, but yeah, you know, she's
rightly getting called out for just those are those are
just bad lyrics.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
There were more bad lyrics that made the Internet like
from the song Eldest Daughter. Here's this one. Everybody's so
punk on the internet. Everyone's unbothered till they're not. Everyone's
joke just trolling and memes sad as it seems.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Apathy is hot.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
M Yeah, you know, can you dance to it? I
mean that's all that matters.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
The song honey, wait, what was that song called? That
song is called Eldest Daughter?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Is that the one that it's like the eldest Daughter?
She paints herself as like she got thrown to the
wolves or something like that. It's like, dude, your parents
supported you from the age of seven. Yeah, they literally
did everything to fulfill your dreams. You have had a
dream life. You have not been thrown to any wolves.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, yeah, there's I think there's other lyrics.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Like everybody's cutthroat in the comments, which it's like, ooh,
interesting take on the internet.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, that's that's how it is for everybody.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But is there a rich, like or successful rock star
that is able to continually put out like interesting, compelling
music or do you just kind of lose your perspective
after you become that successful.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah, I think that that's that's the challenge for anybody
that's ever become famous like to still have that starving
artist approach. Yeah, like you're you know, all the rappers
that I grew up listening to, they're talking about living
in the streets and now jay Z is a billionaire,
Like what are.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
You talking about?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Some of those guys forgot to pay their taxes and
that you know that didn't go over well.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I do wonder, like I mean inherit, you know.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah, listen, there is something about like a tortured artist
that when you are fulfilled, like maybe you lose a
little bit of your edge. But like sometimes you find
artists that then they go back to like the early
things in their catalog that they never completed, or they
learned to take a perspective outside of themselves, and that's
(14:34):
where you get concept albums because they start to go like, Okay,
maybe I don't have my story to tell anymore, so
I want to go outside of myself and tell someone
else's story. Like it's just like when you get bored
as an artist or when you don't feel necessarily creative.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Slow down. You don't need to do an album every
couple of months, so every year or whatever. We didn't
ask for.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It, but like if she would if she were to
have written a record full of love songs because she's
in love and they were like Brandy Carlyle esque, do
you know what I'm saying? And they were like esoteric
and beautiful people that would resonate with her fans as
much as like this just sounds lazy. She's like penis.
(15:25):
He's got a big penis. The guy I'm effing has
a big penis, and that's her.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
That album is gonna slap.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Her.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
What's the lemonade?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, I mean I think probably, I mean one of
the best people to do it is somebody like Bob
Dylan who's always kind of looked homeless, like from the
time where he actually had no money. I mean, he's
a multi millionaire. The guy's probably worth half a billion.
You wouldn't know it, not by any of his music,
because he's an actual songwriter. Like I think he's stayed
(16:02):
plugged in in that way, and so is the Boss.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, he's also toured and played like he plays state
fairs like that has been his Like he wants to
play for the people. He doesn't care. He's not trying
to do the eras tour and never did, and when
he was at his zenith, you know, in the early
seventies especially, I mean the even the tour they did
(16:25):
with the band where is Bob Dylan and the Band,
which was like an enormous announcement. They played small arenas,
they played like four thousand, five thousand seeders.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I think that's how you do it.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
You keep yourself smaller than you could be exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
You turned some of that stuff down.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But in fairness, I don't think she ever wanted to
be Bob Dylan. She wants to be a pop star,
and I guess you know that's how you go about it.
This is it's just like I none of it appeals
to me, but it's not supposed to, so.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
That it would be weird if it did, honestly.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But like Sean Collier absolutely loves it. He's a big swiftye.
I'm actually anxious to hear his review of it because
he was all excited to go home and listen to.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
It on Friday. He wanted to be alone with that album.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
If he comes in here and he's like I would
is really misunderstood.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, actually I'll be disappointed.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I want a glowing review from Sean Collier. I moved
on the Taylor Swift album. The critics like, what is
it like?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Panned halfway and loved Rolling Stone gave it.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
A five star review, okay, five out a five, and
she bought.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Okayot and then and then yeah, it's it's it's it's
split like. There are fans that are just like, oh
my god, it's a bop, and then there are other
fans that are going, this is the dumbest record I've
ever heard.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
By the way, you were allowed to put out a crappy.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Record, absolutely allowed to put a crappy record.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
But I think it's just it's that there's a laziness
to this one. Uh, and there is an immaturity to
the lyrics that is not befitting of somebody that has
been given the amount of flowers that Taylor has for
being called some kind of Bob Dylan of our era.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, you nailed it with the Sabrina Carpenter thing though,
because even the show Girl theme.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yeah, yeah, that's what Sabrina Carpenter is doing right now.
I get we got to ask Mikey and Bob because
I trust they love it.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
They do they Oh yeah, Mikey got up first thing
in the morning when it came out and showered to it.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Well, that's what we have to do. We have to shower.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
We have the shower with Mikey and Bob. Yeah, and
then listen to the Taylor Swift. Yeah, Bob scrubs my back.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Now they showered together.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Well, they always I always think they're like freend Barney.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's how they show Prepp Barton Ernie.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
They take baths together.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
I told you guys, if we really wanted to do
this show, well that's what we should do.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
And you guys are like, well, we can't have the
same house and you know.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Hrver. All right, Well let's go ask Monkey and Bob
about it. When we come back. Rob King will join
us here. He's filling in for my pursuit of Jerry
Dulac at eight forty five Steelers with a great Sunday
didn't play and the rest of the AFC North soiled
themselves so that one great.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
I'm driving my semi cross Radio Ohio, heading back to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No matter how you listen from.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Connecticut, most TV on the app.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
We're streaming and all your smart device is one O
two point five DV.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
This report is sponsored by KFC, it's gotta be another
night today.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And Rob King, voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers on the
Steelers Audio Network, filling in with your sports this morning
on DV king Mark, what's up, so buddy?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
How you doing?
Speaker 11 (19:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Just talking about Taylor Swift, way too.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Much Taylor Swift.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
You know, I still like the Oregon Trail reference.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
We're moving places.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Here at the show, all kinds of dropping, all kinds
of antiquated references this morning. Uh, you know, we were
talking about that in a reference to the NFL UK
app that we had to use to get into Croke
Park in Dublin, and it is janky, and they had
a really hard time getting people in and out of
that game yesterday. And I think as much as both
(20:31):
of those games that they've had, the first two NFL
Europe games have been really exciting and that's good to
sell the sport and all of that, or they have
to make that in fan in stadium experience a lot
easier for people. If you know, when you got people
traveling across the ocean to watch a football game and
they can't get into the stadium, that's a problem.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
They got iron it at. Yeah, that's that's what they
got iron. Yeah, that's the only that's the only XP. Yeah,
and you know what, listen, I don't think it's going anywhere,
So they do, they do need to do whatever they
can to make the fan experience excellent because for a
lot of people it's different sports.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
I was just talking to cab drivers going around and
a lot of them more excited about it. Some of
them said, yeah, we're not used to the standing around,
you know, We're used to soccer and hurling and Gaelic
football and rugby never stops, right, There's there's no timeouts
or anything like that.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
But others we're all excited about it.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
So you're you know, you're still at the point I
think where you're selling the sport, even to a country
like Ireland, which already has Gaelic football and already has
you know, a background of sports in which you know,
large men run into other large men and not other
you know, not all cultures have that.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
So you know, yeah, whatever they can do to make the.
Speaker 10 (21:42):
NFL experience better, because it's I don't see this slowing down.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You know, they wanted to go global.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Do you think they will actually have an NFL Europe
team eventually. I know the argument, Hey, going from New
York to Dublin or to London is just as long
of a flight is going to Seattle.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
Yeah, that would be tough because now the players have
to live there, you know that it's it's I don't
think it's imminent, you know, I can't they.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
I think that they would.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It would be wondering.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
You know, listen, you know, thirty years from now, maybe
there's a division, right maybe you know, Berlin's got a team,
London's got a team, Dublin's got a team, and Barcelona's
got a team, right, and they got their own division.
Maybe that was something like that will happen, and you know,
you go over there and if you're uh, you know,
you play all three.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
Teams, you know, if you do the tour, yeah, if
you have it.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
If Europe, you know, Europe East is on your schedule
this year, like you know, the NFC North or whatever,
maybe just go over there and play all three games.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
I mean, there's there are some logistical issues to it.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
You gotta change the name of the league, don't you.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
National Football League, International Football League.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They barely have enough players to fill out thirty two teams.
There's so many crappy football teams right now. I can't
imagine expanding the league.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
I mean I think that I think that there's a
lack of quarterbacks, right, I think that's your that's your
biggest issue. And that's why they've tried and they've listened.
They've understood that. Yeah, there's you know, Wolf used to
call them land mammals. There's only so many land mammals, right,
you know, only so many six foot six, three hundred
pound men walking the earth, you know. So it's, uh,
(23:27):
it's hard to find those guys, and it's hard to
find the guys with quarterback skills. But who knows, Now,
maybe you open it up to all of Europe, maybe
eventually some of those players start coming from Europe. They
have big people too over there.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Yeah, I mean, that's the that's the long game, right
of selling the game over there is they are trying
to sell the game to the youth, which is why
they were doing all those flag football games when we
were over in Dublin.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right, yep, that's right.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
I mean, so now you know, Philip gi Bouchet is
going to go back and throw a pass to you know,
wolf Gang or whatever. So it's uh, you know, but
but eventually that's what that's what you like, right, I mean,
that's you know, make the game truly.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
International classic Wolf land Mammals. Isn't there only one mammal
that's not a land mammal. I don't know, but you know,
until the only non land mammal, right.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
Wolf could paint the picture, you know, you know, and listen,
I don't think it like that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
There's a mammal, right, come on it like if.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
Somebody said there's a land mammal coming, you wouldn't be like, oh,
let's sit here in the porch, and you'd be like
run for the hills, you know. I don't know why,
but you would, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh yes, definitely man mammals too.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, okay, oh good call sea mammal, sea.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Mam well look uh king or good day for the
Steelers without having to play and a week to get healthy.
I don't love having the buye this early, but it
ended up working out for them because it let the
rest of the division kind of have to like they
crumbled and now they're in a position where they all
have to kind of build up and the Steelers are
(25:06):
kind of in the pole position here, not just literally
but figuratively. Yeah, because if you can get Calvin Austin
back and it looks like that one's not going to
be as long of an injury as we were concerned about,
and you can come back at pretty much full force
by the end of the month getting Jail and Ramsey back.
They're in really good shape the way their schedule fleshes
(25:28):
out here. And you know, you look back at a
couple of those you know, that Seattle loss doesn't look
as bad right now, and that Patriots win might look
a little better.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
That's right, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
But the Jets win doesn't look as good because the
Jets have yet to win a game.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, but you.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
Know what, listen, you know you look at Cleveland, right
Cleveland has one win, They've played tough. And we'll talk
more about Cleveland next hour, because that's the Steelers next opponent.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Their one win was green Bay.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Like green Bay wins on opening day and all the
power rankings come out and green Bay's.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Ahead of Buffalo, they're ahead of Philadelphia.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
Oh my good, look at the green Bay Packers.
Speaker 10 (26:01):
And then the then they lose to the Browns. I mean,
this happens all around the NFL. You know when you
think about just think about like the Jets game, right,
I mean you could easily just point to the Boswell
field goal and say, okay, there's the game, there's what
turned it. But there were two or three plays in
every game that had they gone the other way, you know,
(26:22):
the Steelers could have won them all or lost.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
You know, they could have lost them all.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
You know, there's the throw in the back of the
end zone with Rogers, the kickoff you don't cover. Well,
there's fourteen points, seven of which they don't get. You know,
you have the you have the capability of scoring more points,
and you keep them off the board. In all of
these games, there were plays in which if the Steelers
don't make them. But that's that's one of the things
that they've always done. The Steelers make those plays. They
(26:47):
play an inordinate amount of one score games under Mike Tomlin,
and they win an inordinate amount of one one score
games under Mike Tomlin. You know, listen, I would love
it if they went in I thought that they were
on the cuss but blown out in New England. I
would love it if they went in after the buy
and just handled Cleveland and then took care of Cincinnati,
(27:09):
you know, by a couple of scores.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
But we'll see if that happens.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
I'll take a three to two win man, just you know,
six and one after these next two games would be
would be an awfully good place to be, especially with
the rest of the division reeling.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
But you still have to go out and win those games.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
And to clarify, all props to Wolf and a credit
to the Syracuse University education and a mark against my
pensate education. There are one hundred and twenty nine marine mammals. Really,
I thought there was one or two. I thought that
that was the anomoly, you know.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
I think maybe my favorite line in Blazing Saddles I
have to clean it up is when they're they're sitting
at the bar and they're like, hey, to think as
we speak, Louis pastures over there in Prince never mind
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, never mind that, never never mind the never.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
Mind the sports update. There's one hundred and twenty nine
sea mammals out there.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
They they had when we tore the Guinness factory. There
was one part about the pastorization process, and it immediately
sent pursuit off. Right now, they say, Lois pass Steward,
he went right into it.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Oh that.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Comes Mungo.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I think that's my favorite line of the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Bit Rob King, Voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, shall be

Speaker 9 (29:02):
So let me know what you guys need on d
If you can't get.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Into Abby Krisner and welcoming our friend for the Steelers
Audio Network, Jerry Do. Like ladies and gentlemen, Jerry De
Good morning.
Speaker 12 (29:13):
Worrybody, boys and girls, how are.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You doing great? I mean, as we've been saying all
morning long, the Steelers didn't play yesterday and had a
great Sunday.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
You know, all three of those teams lost again. They
have a two and a half game lead on their
chief tormentor the Ravens, and I was looking it up.
You know, they're the only division where the first player
the division leader, and all the other teams are under
five hundred, so it is set up well for them
(29:45):
so far. And you know, they got the Browns next,
but you could see the Browns play good defense, and
then they got the Bengals, who you know have been
have been competitive even without Joe Burrow. But you know
it's been it's been setting up well for them. And
if they can actually play well at Acrishore and then
(30:06):
go to Cincinnati, you know they're they're looking at five
and one. You don't want to get ahead of yourself
because you know you could see anything can happen, including
what we saw last night in Buffalo. But but right
now they're they're in a good spot.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Has the falling of their three division rivals in the
standings made it less likely for them to add another receiver?
Are they feeling a little more comfortable with what they
got given the state of the AFC North.
Speaker 12 (30:37):
I don't know that that would have any bearing on it.
I would think Kelvin Austin's injury would have a little
bit more bearing on it, except that I think they
they probably would.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Have made that move already.
Speaker 12 (30:49):
You know, I never rule it out because you never
know what they're going to do in that situation. But
you know, Kelvin Austin's going to miss. What I was
hold at least after the injury was that he's going
to miss a couple of games. And I don't they've
never I don't think it's ever been officially diagnosed. But
it has to be some kind of separation or dislocation.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
So a couple a couple of games, A couple.
Speaker 12 (31:16):
Of games is what I was told. So you know,
Jalen Ramsey's going to be the Jalen Ramsey basically is
going to be Joey Porter's injury a pretty good hamstring tear,
and whenever you have that injury to the hamstring, it's
so tenuous, it's so easy to aggravate it. They just
want to be sure that that doesn't happen. And that's
(31:38):
why they're taking their time with Joey Porter and it's
going to be the same thing with Jalen Ramsey Nich Jerry.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I think for this week at least, I don't think
the Steelers are going to need Calvin Austin. I think
given the front of the Browns, they should roll out
with eight offensive linemen, one running back on DK Metcalf.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
What do you think.
Speaker 12 (31:59):
I think that's a good plan, Billy. And when I
go down there later, I'm gonna slip art or Smith
a little note and tell them one you think that too,
I concur and see how that'll work.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I mean, I'm joking, but really there seems to be
I mean, we keep talking about the second wide receiver,
but John new Smith and Pat Fryarmouth especially have not
even come close to maxing out on their potential as
far as this offense goes.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So I'd like to see both of them being used more.
Speaker 12 (32:29):
Yeah, what we've seen, aside from the the the want
to of getting the ball to DK Metcalf, and we
have seen the the you know, the occasional throw more
than an occasional throw to Calvin Austin. Beyond that, it's
just been a bunch of checkdowns or throw it into
the ground. And so the disappearance of Friarmuth is is puzzling.
(32:52):
H and we saw it even last year to a degree,
and now even more so. I mean, this is a
guy they signed to, you know, a decent contract to be,
if nothing else, maybe their number two receiver, and now
he's barely even getting enough playing time. And that's just
that's puzzling to me. And I think they have to
(33:15):
find a way to get him more involved in this
offense because he's as reliable receiver as you're going to get.
And you know, Arthur Smith being a former tight end guy,
I just thought we would see even more usage of that,
and in effect, we've seen less usage of the tight
(33:36):
ends aside from just kind of rotating them in to
certain formations. So I think getting Friarmouth more involved, heck,
even just getting a more playing time. It's not even
the targets that's part of it. But you can't get
targets when you're not playing, and his lack of snaps
is just is surprising to me.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Can we count on giving the fact that Jalen Warren
suited up and nearly played in Dublin that was two
weeks rest, he'll go on Sunday.
Speaker 12 (34:03):
Yeah, I would imagine he will be ready to go Sunday.
You know, when Kenneth Gainwell played with the Eagles, I
always liked him, and man, he showed why the other day.
Uh in Dublin. I mean, he just ran very well hard.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
But that's the part of it that surprised me is
that he's running hard between the tackles and just like
I never thought of him as that kind of guy.
I never thought of him as a physical runner. And
that's how he ran in Dublin.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
Yeah, he's not only just so it was physical, it's
those it was those one cuts and and his his maneuvering.
You know, he's not a he's not a fast forty
guy like a four to five guy, but he plays
faster than that because he's kind of elusive in that regard.
So you know, that was a career high, not only
in the yards but in carries. He never never had
(34:53):
that kind of workload and then you factor in one
he has six catches as well. We knew he was
going to be a big part of the a bigger
part of the offense that people anticipated, but man, he
was a big part the other day. And yeah, of
course you know why because Jalen Warren wasn't there. But
I think all that does with what we saw the
other day from him is that it's going to continue
(35:14):
to hit for him to get a plenty of playing times.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Jerry, we didn't get a chance to talk with you
after Dublin, and I want to switch gears and ask
you about the fallout from the Ryder Cup and what
if anything will happen from the PGA or or US
Golf in terms of how that all unfolded. In what
(35:38):
a black eye that was for the US Golf Association.
Speaker 12 (35:43):
It really was Randall. I mean, look, you knew going
to New York, you know, with that crowd, you know,
as I like to say, the tank top and gold
chain crowd and that, and it reared its head even
more so. And the most popular player in America on
(36:07):
the PGA Tour in America is Rory McRory. And yet
he was he was verbally assailed and that's what created
the biggest uh, you know, the way they tormented him,
that created the biggest issue that everybody saw and talked about. Yeah,
they were on Shane Lowry, and they were on Bobby
(36:28):
McIntyre and all those guys, but the abuse on Rory
and even his wife. The PGA of America has already
kind of come out and some you know, basically apologized,
but they're gonna have to take a hard look at
it and every Hey, look, everybody knows there's a lot
of you know, kind of cat calling and everything that
goes on, but that that was just that went overboard.
(36:52):
And I think you will see the Europeans in two
years when it goes to Ireland that they're there and
and and it never gets that bad there as we know,
do you. I think there'll be a great, great emphasis
on making sure, hey, don't do what they did because
we don't want it, we don't want to lower ourselves.
I think that'll be the subtle message in two years.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Sorry for interrupting you there, Jared, but do you think
that part of this and I'm not excusing away any
of the behavior because I'm with you. I think that
behavior was embarrassing and unacceptable. But part of what made
it so big is his reaction real time to the hecklers.
And I think it's just part of his feistiness on
(37:33):
tour or just at least since I've been following along
since the US.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
How he was dressed, he was asking for it.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
No, no, I'm not trying I'm not trying to victim
blame here.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
But he has been over the top ornery just in
terms of not talking to the media and you know,
just sort of doing things his way and being pissed
off if anybody asks him about a club that he's
using or not using. Do you think that he has
any responsibility in how big it was in terms of
(38:02):
the viral reaction.
Speaker 12 (38:06):
I don't know that that's what fueled it initially, but
you know some of his you know, stepping away from
the ball and telling them that, you know, the people
to f offer all that one has given milk to
the kitty or in this case meat.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
To the wolves.
Speaker 12 (38:27):
So so for the top that at what point do
you just continue? I mean, because it's something that they
were It's not just some of the heckling. It was
the nature of the heckling, you know, the vulgarity, the heckling,
and at some point you sit there and you go, okay,
hey fellas, Okay, enough enough, And then you know, how
(38:50):
do you talk to morons? You speak like a moron
to talk to the moron.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
That's right.
Speaker 12 (38:59):
It just becomes self perpetuating, and it just it just
got it just got out of hand.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Jerry D.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
You can hear him alongside Mike Pursuda and Bob Labriola

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It is the DV Morning Show Randy Bauman with Bill
Crowford Abby Krisner. We have no producer today, so show
my time a little bit different. And I'm ham fisting
a lot of it over here. But you know what,
I'm okay with some ham in my fist.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You always were.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I never understood that phrase ham fisted. I guess that
means you have ham for fists. I don't know. And
you're just like very heavy. You're just you're not You're
not delicate, you're.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Not too fists full of chipped ham.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You're clumsy. See, when I grew up, it wasn't just
chipped ham. They called it chip chopped ham up and earie.
I don't know why the chopped was in there, just
to separate.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I think.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So now that I know better, everything right, I never
heard that before, chip chop ham. Yeah, but that's what
I was. My exclusive, that just chip chop ham and ketchup.
I can just live on that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yeah, white bread, imagine what your insides look like.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
No, when I was a kid, I'm saying that was
my jam. Coloney with mustard chip chopp ham with ketchup,
no cheese on either of them.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah, chipped ham and ketchup was my jam.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Cause it's kind of like just short of the barbecue
chip ham. And I still to this day do not
understand why more Pittsburgh restaurants do not serve barbecue chip cam.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Oh somebody had it scratch.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Did they?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, that would make sense.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Scratches And it was unbelievable because that's basically like a
Pittsburgh manwich.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, oh yeah right.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
By the way, manwich, how did that ever get out
of the marketing room? What are you gonna call it?
Man witch?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Man wich?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, I don't know, seven maybe we shouldn't call it that.
My friends like it.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
That's when you're in between two men.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
A man witch, you know it's a manly meal, Steve Wiz.
They're like, no, that's too gay. I'm gonna call it
sloppy Joe.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Sloppy Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Guess what that also?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh god, it was so good though.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Sloppy Joe's. I'll still rock a sloppy Joe off with those,
but I make them myself, and now I end up
using turkey a lot of time. Your well, I mean,
I'll make the sloppy Joe sauce myself.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
What are you making of it?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Sloppy jos come over, Joe comes over. God get sloppy.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You know they sell it and I can't.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I know, but it has so it like those aren't
always that good. You just do a little green pepper.
You can just use a little ketchup, a little a
little cooman cooman on those sloppy Joe's. Look out, Uh
yeah everywhere. The gayest sandwich so.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Gay, you know, I make them even gayer because minor vegan,
how do you do that extra firm tofu.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Lost me right there?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Sweet?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
And you shred it in a cheese greater and then
you dry it out in the oven with paprika and
cumin and onion powder, garlic powder, all of that, and
then you kind of make it almost like kind of
like a chicken kind of flavor. And then on the
stove you do like kind of like a slice like
(03:42):
almost onions and then like uh, barbecue sauce, stir fry
it and.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Then you know, now you got to surprise me with that.
I can't see that coming around.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That lead Does it taste like a slobby jo. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Can I ask you a question about tofu, like does
it come super firm or do you have to make
it super firm?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Because you can buy it super firm extra firm, or
you can freeze it.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Because don't you have to like sit an iron on it? No,
don't you have to like wrap it in a diaper
and put an iron.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
You can wrap it in paper towels and put like
cans on top of it so really press the water
out of it. Or you can put it in the
freezer and it will also kind of get the water
out of it, and then you can use it afterwards
and it kind of helps it stay extra firm.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I like the idea of tofu, but it gives you
man boob, so I can't really go for it if
you eat it exclusively.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
It has a little too much soy for.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
A normal man's diet. But you're not going to eat
it all the time. You're going to have other sources
of protein.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
You think one meal, you have a rack, Bill Belichick.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
If it worked to give you a rack, do you
think I would be walking around double back like this?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I can't eat it. No, I have the media gonna
come ass to you. No, it's a rare condition.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Belichick must be munching that stuff all day and all night.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Dude, he's got some like got a tofu banking and
flat straight up sea cup. He's rocking right now. His
organization is an absolute mess. Wow, North Carolina is a disaster.
Yeah that they have to fire him, like, you can't
keep doing this. It is a joke of a college
football program right now. Also, Pitt might have found a quarterback. Yeah,
(05:33):
not the one they're paying, the one that's making more
money than most of the pirates.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And that way, he's more of a pirate than any
of them are.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
That's true, Abbe. He's got your news right now. What's
going on over there?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
News this hour brought to you by Window Nation, Sunny
Today and High of eighty.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right Aid is no more.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
The pharmacy has officially closed all of its stores, bringing
an end to more than six years in business. The
pharmacy chain confirmed the closures in a statement on its website,
saying all Right Aid sorts have now closed. We thank
our loyal customers for their many years of support. Right
Aid has struggled financially in recent years. Company files for
(06:15):
bankruptcy protection in May, just eight months after emerging from
a previous Chapter eleven filing in September of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
The company at the time operated over.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Twelve hundred stores across fifteen states from California to Vermont,
and had planned to keep stores open and sell off
assets in an effort to maintain prescription services for customers.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Twelve hundred stores, and nine hundred of them were in
a three block radius of each other. I know, too
many stores, too much stuff in the stores. Very easy
to see this coming. Yeah, you'd walk out of a
right aid and you could see a right Aid.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yep. I'm happy they finally just pulled the plug. Though.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Man, it was tough to walk into those stores when
they were open, but they didn't have anything.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No mem when Bert had an existential crisis walking through one,
Oh my good, I used to come to they got
it right.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Now, there's CBS, Walgreens. There's a lot of other options. Yeah,
it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's not, though, I don't know. I had a special
bond with right.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Now, definitely right. It was my spot too.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It was the Green Tree one I liked. I liked
that one. But now I'm a CBS girl.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, I mean you have.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
To adapt it, like.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
All the way down at the bottom of Green Tree Hill.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I like that one.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, that one was nice. Yeah, I like that one.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
They got rid of that a while ago. That's a
liquor store. Now it's a real nice liquor store too.
It's huge.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Well yeah, because it used to.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Be on Bower Hill.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I want I wonder if that'll like reopen, is a
blockbuster or what?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Like what happens a skate rink? It's an airplane hanger.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
All right.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
We all know how Taylor Swift loves her Easter eggs,
but on her new album, The Life of a show Girl,
she dropped it an Easter egg plant. I can't help it.
So we're gonna go through some Taylor Swift lyrics. Rob King,
I know you're listening.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So there's a song.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
On the album called Wood and it's a straight up
Oh Travis Kelsey's man Hammer And if you don't believe.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Me, we're gonna go through the lyrics.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Does man Hammer steam Roller playing this year?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I thought they broke up. Here's some of the lyrics.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Forgive me it sounds cocky, he ahmatized me and opened
my eyes, redwood Tree. It ain't hard to see his
love was the key that opened my thighs.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
This is okay, Taylor Swift. This is Taylor Swift. Girls.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
I don't need to catch the bouquet to know a
hard rock is on the way. And baby, I'll admit
I've been a little superstitious.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
The curse on me was broken by your magic.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Wand wow, how is there nobody in her orbit to
go bad?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Idea?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Not good?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Maybe don't do this? I mean, I know he was
probably thrilled with us. He co wrote it. It sounds
like it.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Oh, do you want to hear how very obvious it gets.
Seems to me seems to be that you.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
And me we make our own look luck new heights
of manhood.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I ain't got a knock on wood.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Abby.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You've known girls that have been d drunk before, right, this.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Isn't even d drunk. This is like the first time
I've ever.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Seen one Discovery Yeah, this is Discovery Zone. I just
cannot believe that this is the artist that commands stadiums
full of girls around the world, and this is unders
(10:02):
she could do.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I wonder what their reaction is because that was the
appeal for a lot of families out there was that
she doesn't do this kind of stuff and maybe, you know,
most of this will go over that audience's.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Head because they're little girls. Yeah yeah, And I think
you nailed it with the she tries to jump on
whatever trend is happening. I mean, look, if she's not
the only one to do the Rolling Stones were guilty
of this kiss yeah put at a disco song, you know,
I mean everybody who's a huge artist gets a little
nervous and then tries to conform to whatever trends are happening.
(10:38):
And I think she wanted to be Sabrina Carpenter and
it doesn't work for her.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
No, it doesn't. Like I know, if.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Chapel Roone put out that song, that would whatever.
Speaker 8 (10:50):
She would because Chapel Rone doesn't follow she exactly, which
is why she's appealing to p Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
But do you you would think Taylor's the one that
is confident enough to lead and she's really it seems
to me she's run out of stuff to write about.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
This is the thing that I you know, I hate
to fourth wallet with Taylor Swift, but I know, like
plenty of people that we've worked with so many times
that even in the very early days of Taylor Swift
used to say that, like, you know, backstage in her
early days, like there was an awkwardness there where people
(11:29):
like wouldn't even go to the meet and greets and
go talk to her, Like I think it's kind of
showing that like she's always been a dork, you know,
and so like she's and now she's a bully and
a dork at the same time, and it's just such.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
A weird, uh duality. I don't know, you.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Guys are playing with fire Mary you keep.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Me.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I'm in the Hailey Williams.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Tip the Whole Foods. I'll make it food. That's so
funny and it's super farm it's.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Super farm up food. Come get me.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I just think if you're a billionaire, you won and
you can't be the victim.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
And maybe have you looked around at the billionaires that
they're doing that.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I know that's a big thing for them.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, well, I don't know. It might be that her
fan base absolutely loves this, but yeah, you know, she's
rightly getting called out for just those are those are
just bad lyrics.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
There were more bad lyrics that made the Internet like
from the song Eldest Daughter. Here's this one. Everybody's so
punk on the internet. Everyone's unbothered till they're not. Everyone's
joke just trolling and memes sad as it seems.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Apathy is hot.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
M Yeah, you know, can you dance to it? I
mean that's all that matters.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
The song honey, wait, what was that song called? That
song is called Eldest Daughter?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Is that the one that it's like the eldest Daughter?
She paints herself as like she got thrown to the
wolves or something like that. It's like, dude, your parents
supported you from the age of seven. Yeah, they literally
did everything to fulfill your dreams. You have had a
dream life. You have not been thrown to any wolves.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, yeah, there's I think there's other lyrics.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Like everybody's cutthroat in the comments, which it's like, ooh,
interesting take on the internet.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Yeah, that's that's how it is for everybody.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But is there a rich, like or successful rock star
that is able to continually put out like interesting, compelling
music or do you just kind of lose your perspective
after you become that successful.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah, I think that that's that's the challenge for anybody
that's ever become famous like to still have that starving
artist approach. Yeah, like you're you know, all the rappers
that I grew up listening to, they're talking about living
in the streets and now jay Z is a billionaire,
Like what are.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
You talking about?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Some of those guys forgot to pay their taxes and
that you know that didn't go over well.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I do wonder, like I mean inherit, you know.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah, listen, there is something about like a tortured artist
that when you are fulfilled, like maybe you lose a
little bit of your edge. But like sometimes you find
artists that then they go back to like the early
things in their catalog that they never completed, or they
learned to take a perspective outside of themselves, and that's
(14:34):
where you get concept albums because they start to go like, Okay,
maybe I don't have my story to tell anymore, so
I want to go outside of myself and tell someone
else's story. Like it's just like when you get bored
as an artist or when you don't feel necessarily creative.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Slow down. You don't need to do an album every
couple of months, so every year or whatever. We didn't
ask for.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It, but like if she would if she were to
have written a record full of love songs because she's
in love and they were like Brandy Carlyle esque, do
you know what I'm saying? And they were like esoteric
and beautiful people that would resonate with her fans as
much as like this just sounds lazy. She's like penis.
(15:25):
He's got a big penis. The guy I'm effing has
a big penis, and that's her.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
That album is gonna slap.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Her.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
What's the lemonade?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, I mean I think probably, I mean one of
the best people to do it is somebody like Bob
Dylan who's always kind of looked homeless, like from the
time where he actually had no money. I mean, he's
a multi millionaire. The guy's probably worth half a billion.
You wouldn't know it, not by any of his music,
because he's an actual songwriter. Like I think he's stayed
(16:02):
plugged in in that way, and so is the Boss.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, he's also toured and played like he plays state
fairs like that has been his Like he wants to
play for the people. He doesn't care. He's not trying
to do the eras tour and never did, and when
he was at his zenith, you know, in the early
seventies especially, I mean the even the tour they did
(16:25):
with the band where is Bob Dylan and the Band,
which was like an enormous announcement. They played small arenas,
they played like four thousand, five thousand seeders.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
I think that's how you do it.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
You keep yourself smaller than you could be exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
You turned some of that stuff down.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
But in fairness, I don't think she ever wanted to
be Bob Dylan. She wants to be a pop star,
and I guess you know that's how you go about it.
This is it's just like I none of it appeals
to me, but it's not supposed to, so.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
That it would be weird if it did, honestly.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But like Sean Collier absolutely loves it. He's a big swiftye.
I'm actually anxious to hear his review of it because
he was all excited to go home and listen to.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
It on Friday. He wanted to be alone with that album.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
If he comes in here and he's like I would
is really misunderstood.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, actually I'll be disappointed.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I want a glowing review from Sean Collier. I moved
on the Taylor Swift album. The critics like, what is
it like?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Panned halfway and loved Rolling Stone gave it.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
A five star review, okay, five out a five, and
she bought.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
Okayot and then and then yeah, it's it's it's it's
split like. There are fans that are just like, oh
my god, it's a bop, and then there are other
fans that are going, this is the dumbest record I've
ever heard.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
By the way, you were allowed to put out a crappy.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Record, absolutely allowed to put a crappy record.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
But I think it's just it's that there's a laziness
to this one. Uh, and there is an immaturity to
the lyrics that is not befitting of somebody that has
been given the amount of flowers that Taylor has for
being called some kind of Bob Dylan of our era.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, you nailed it with the Sabrina Carpenter thing though,
because even the show Girl theme.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yeah, yeah, that's what Sabrina Carpenter is doing right now.
I get we got to ask Mikey and Bob because
I trust they love it.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
They do they Oh yeah, Mikey got up first thing
in the morning when it came out and showered to it.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Well, that's what we have to do. We have to shower.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
We have the shower with Mikey and Bob. Yeah, and
then listen to the Taylor Swift. Yeah, Bob scrubs my back.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Now they showered together.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Well, they always I always think they're like freend Barney.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's how they show Prepp Barton Ernie.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
They take baths together.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
I told you guys, if we really wanted to do
this show, well that's what we should do.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
And you guys are like, well, we can't have the
same house and you know.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Hrver. All right, Well let's go ask Monkey and Bob
about it. When we come back. Rob King will join
us here. He's filling in for my pursuit of Jerry
Dulac at eight forty five Steelers with a great Sunday
didn't play and the rest of the AFC North soiled
themselves so that one great.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
I'm driving my semi cross Radio Ohio, heading back to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No matter how you listen from.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Connecticut, most TV on the app.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
We're streaming and all your smart device is one O
two point five DV.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
This report is sponsored by KFC, it's gotta be another
night today.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And Rob King, voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers on the
Steelers Audio Network, filling in with your sports this morning
on DV king Mark, what's up, so buddy?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
How you doing?
Speaker 11 (19:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Just talking about Taylor Swift, way too.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Much Taylor Swift.
Speaker 9 (20:03):
You know, I still like the Oregon Trail reference.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
We're moving places.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Here at the show, all kinds of dropping, all kinds
of antiquated references this morning. Uh, you know, we were
talking about that in a reference to the NFL UK
app that we had to use to get into Croke
Park in Dublin, and it is janky, and they had
a really hard time getting people in and out of
that game yesterday. And I think as much as both
(20:31):
of those games that they've had, the first two NFL
Europe games have been really exciting and that's good to
sell the sport and all of that, or they have
to make that in fan in stadium experience a lot
easier for people. If you know, when you got people
traveling across the ocean to watch a football game and
they can't get into the stadium, that's a problem.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
They got iron it at. Yeah, that's that's what they
got iron. Yeah, that's the only that's the only XP. Yeah,
and you know what, listen, I don't think it's going anywhere,
So they do, they do need to do whatever they
can to make the fan experience excellent because for a
lot of people it's different sports.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
I was just talking to cab drivers going around and
a lot of them more excited about it. Some of
them said, yeah, we're not used to the standing around,
you know, We're used to soccer and hurling and Gaelic
football and rugby never stops, right, There's there's no timeouts
or anything like that.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
But others we're all excited about it.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
So you're you know, you're still at the point I
think where you're selling the sport, even to a country
like Ireland, which already has Gaelic football and already has
you know, a background of sports in which you know,
large men run into other large men and not other
you know, not all cultures have that.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
So you know, yeah, whatever they can do to make the.
Speaker 10 (21:42):
NFL experience better, because it's I don't see this slowing down.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You know, they wanted to go global.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Do you think they will actually have an NFL Europe
team eventually. I know the argument, Hey, going from New
York to Dublin or to London is just as long
of a flight is going to Seattle.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
Yeah, that would be tough because now the players have
to live there, you know that it's it's I don't
think it's imminent, you know, I can't they.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
I think that they would.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
It would be wondering.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
You know, listen, you know, thirty years from now, maybe
there's a division, right maybe you know, Berlin's got a team,
London's got a team, Dublin's got a team, and Barcelona's
got a team, right, and they got their own division.
Maybe that was something like that will happen, and you know,
you go over there and if you're uh, you know,
you play all three.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
Teams, you know, if you do the tour, yeah, if
you have it.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
If Europe, you know, Europe East is on your schedule
this year, like you know, the NFC North or whatever,
maybe just go over there and play all three games.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
I mean, there's there are some logistical issues to it.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
You gotta change the name of the league, don't you.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
National Football League, International Football League.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They barely have enough players to fill out thirty two teams.
There's so many crappy football teams right now. I can't
imagine expanding the league.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
I mean I think that I think that there's a
lack of quarterbacks, right, I think that's your that's your
biggest issue. And that's why they've tried and they've listened.
They've understood that. Yeah, there's you know, Wolf used to
call them land mammals. There's only so many land mammals, right,
you know, only so many six foot six, three hundred
pound men walking the earth, you know. So it's, uh,
(23:27):
it's hard to find those guys, and it's hard to
find the guys with quarterback skills. But who knows, Now,
maybe you open it up to all of Europe, maybe
eventually some of those players start coming from Europe. They
have big people too over there.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Yeah, I mean, that's the that's the long game, right
of selling the game over there is they are trying
to sell the game to the youth, which is why
they were doing all those flag football games when we
were over in Dublin.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right, yep, that's right.
Speaker 10 (23:53):
I mean, so now you know, Philip gi Bouchet is
going to go back and throw a pass to you know,
wolf Gang or whatever. So it's uh, you know, but
but eventually that's what that's what you like, right, I mean,
that's you know, make the game truly.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
International classic Wolf land Mammals. Isn't there only one mammal
that's not a land mammal. I don't know, but you know,
until the only non land mammal, right.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
Wolf could paint the picture, you know, you know, and listen,
I don't think it like that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
There's a mammal, right, come on it like if.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
Somebody said there's a land mammal coming, you wouldn't be like, oh,
let's sit here in the porch, and you'd be like
run for the hills, you know. I don't know why,
but you would, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh yes, definitely man mammals too.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, okay, oh good call sea mammal, sea.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Mam well look uh king or good day for the
Steelers without having to play and a week to get healthy.
I don't love having the buye this early, but it
ended up working out for them because it let the
rest of the division kind of have to like they
crumbled and now they're in a position where they all
have to kind of build up and the Steelers are
(25:06):
kind of in the pole position here, not just literally
but figuratively. Yeah, because if you can get Calvin Austin
back and it looks like that one's not going to
be as long of an injury as we were concerned about,
and you can come back at pretty much full force
by the end of the month getting Jail and Ramsey back.
They're in really good shape the way their schedule fleshes
(25:28):
out here. And you know, you look back at a
couple of those you know, that Seattle loss doesn't look
as bad right now, and that Patriots win might look
a little better.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
That's right, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
But the Jets win doesn't look as good because the
Jets have yet to win a game.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, but you.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
Know what, listen, you know you look at Cleveland, right
Cleveland has one win, They've played tough. And we'll talk
more about Cleveland next hour, because that's the Steelers next opponent.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Their one win was green Bay.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Like green Bay wins on opening day and all the
power rankings come out and green Bay's.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Ahead of Buffalo, they're ahead of Philadelphia.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
Oh my good, look at the green Bay Packers.
Speaker 10 (26:01):
And then the then they lose to the Browns. I mean,
this happens all around the NFL. You know when you
think about just think about like the Jets game, right,
I mean you could easily just point to the Boswell
field goal and say, okay, there's the game, there's what
turned it. But there were two or three plays in
every game that had they gone the other way, you know,
(26:22):
the Steelers could have won them all or lost.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
You know, they could have lost them all.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
You know, there's the throw in the back of the
end zone with Rogers, the kickoff you don't cover. Well,
there's fourteen points, seven of which they don't get. You know,
you have the you have the capability of scoring more points,
and you keep them off the board. In all of
these games, there were plays in which if the Steelers
don't make them. But that's that's one of the things
that they've always done. The Steelers make those plays. They
(26:47):
play an inordinate amount of one score games under Mike Tomlin,
and they win an inordinate amount of one one score
games under Mike Tomlin. You know, listen, I would love
it if they went in I thought that they were
on the cuss but blown out in New England. I
would love it if they went in after the buy
and just handled Cleveland and then took care of Cincinnati,
(27:09):
you know, by a couple of scores.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
But we'll see if that happens.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
I'll take a three to two win man, just you know,
six and one after these next two games would be
would be an awfully good place to be, especially with
the rest of the division reeling.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
But you still have to go out and win those games.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
And to clarify, all props to Wolf and a credit
to the Syracuse University education and a mark against my
pensate education. There are one hundred and twenty nine marine mammals. Really,
I thought there was one or two. I thought that
that was the anomoly, you know.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
I think maybe my favorite line in Blazing Saddles I
have to clean it up is when they're they're sitting
at the bar and they're like, hey, to think as
we speak, Louis pastures over there in Prince never mind
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, never mind that, never never mind the never.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
Mind the sports update. There's one hundred and twenty nine
sea mammals out there.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
They they had when we tore the Guinness factory. There
was one part about the pastorization process, and it immediately
sent pursuit off. Right now, they say, Lois pass Steward,
he went right into it.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Oh that.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Comes Mungo.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I think that's my favorite line of the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (28:18):

Speaker 9 (29:02):
So let me know what you guys need on d
If you can't get.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Into Abby Krisner and welcoming our friend for the Steelers
Audio Network, Jerry Do. Like ladies and gentlemen, Jerry De
Good morning.
Speaker 12 (29:13):
Worrybody, boys and girls, how are.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You doing great? I mean, as we've been saying all
morning long, the Steelers didn't play yesterday and had a
great Sunday.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
You know, all three of those teams lost again. They
have a two and a half game lead on their
chief tormentor the Ravens, and I was looking it up.
You know, they're the only division where the first player
the division leader, and all the other teams are under
five hundred, so it is set up well for them
(29:45):
so far. And you know, they got the Browns next,
but you could see the Browns play good defense, and
then they got the Bengals, who you know have been
have been competitive even without Joe Burrow. But you know
it's been it's been setting up well for them. And
if they can actually play well at Acrishore and then
(30:06):
go to Cincinnati, you know they're they're looking at five
and one. You don't want to get ahead of yourself
because you know you could see anything can happen, including
what we saw last night in Buffalo. But but right
now they're they're in a good spot.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Has the falling of their three division rivals in the
standings made it less likely for them to add another receiver?
Are they feeling a little more comfortable with what they
got given the state of the AFC North.
Speaker 12 (30:37):
I don't know that that would have any bearing on it.
I would think Kelvin Austin's injury would have a little
bit more bearing on it, except that I think they
they probably would.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Have made that move already.
Speaker 12 (30:49):
You know, I never rule it out because you never
know what they're going to do in that situation. But
you know, Kelvin Austin's going to miss. What I was
hold at least after the injury was that he's going
to miss a couple of games. And I don't they've
never I don't think it's ever been officially diagnosed. But
it has to be some kind of separation or dislocation.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
So a couple a couple of games, A couple.
Speaker 12 (31:16):
Of games is what I was told. So you know,
Jalen Ramsey's going to be the Jalen Ramsey basically is
going to be Joey Porter's injury a pretty good hamstring tear,
and whenever you have that injury to the hamstring, it's
so tenuous, it's so easy to aggravate it. They just
want to be sure that that doesn't happen. And that's
(31:38):
why they're taking their time with Joey Porter and it's
going to be the same thing with Jalen Ramsey Nich Jerry.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
I think for this week at least, I don't think
the Steelers are going to need Calvin Austin. I think
given the front of the Browns, they should roll out
with eight offensive linemen, one running back on DK Metcalf.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
What do you think.
Speaker 12 (31:59):
I think that's a good plan, Billy. And when I
go down there later, I'm gonna slip art or Smith
a little note and tell them one you think that too,
I concur and see how that'll work.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
I mean, I'm joking, but really there seems to be
I mean, we keep talking about the second wide receiver,
but John new Smith and Pat Fryarmouth especially have not
even come close to maxing out on their potential as
far as this offense goes.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So I'd like to see both of them being used more.
Speaker 12 (32:29):
Yeah, what we've seen, aside from the the the want
to of getting the ball to DK Metcalf, and we
have seen the the you know, the occasional throw more
than an occasional throw to Calvin Austin. Beyond that, it's
just been a bunch of checkdowns or throw it into
the ground. And so the disappearance of Friarmuth is is puzzling.
(32:52):
H and we saw it even last year to a degree,
and now even more so. I mean, this is a
guy they signed to, you know, a decent contract to be,
if nothing else, maybe their number two receiver, and now
he's barely even getting enough playing time. And that's just
that's puzzling to me. And I think they have to
(33:15):
find a way to get him more involved in this
offense because he's as reliable receiver as you're going to get.
And you know, Arthur Smith being a former tight end guy,
I just thought we would see even more usage of that,
and in effect, we've seen less usage of the tight
(33:36):
ends aside from just kind of rotating them in to
certain formations. So I think getting Friarmouth more involved, heck,
even just getting a more playing time. It's not even
the targets that's part of it. But you can't get
targets when you're not playing, and his lack of snaps
is just is surprising to me.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Can we count on giving the fact that Jalen Warren
suited up and nearly played in Dublin that was two
weeks rest, he'll go on Sunday.
Speaker 12 (34:03):
Yeah, I would imagine he will be ready to go Sunday.
You know, when Kenneth Gainwell played with the Eagles, I
always liked him, and man, he showed why the other day.
Uh in Dublin. I mean, he just ran very well hard.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
But that's the part of it that surprised me is
that he's running hard between the tackles and just like
I never thought of him as that kind of guy.
I never thought of him as a physical runner. And
that's how he ran in Dublin.
Speaker 12 (34:31):
Yeah, he's not only just so it was physical, it's
those it was those one cuts and and his his maneuvering.
You know, he's not a he's not a fast forty
guy like a four to five guy, but he plays
faster than that because he's kind of elusive in that regard.
So you know, that was a career high, not only
in the yards but in carries. He never never had
(34:53):
that kind of workload and then you factor in one
he has six catches as well. We knew he was
going to be a big part of the a bigger
part of the offense that people anticipated, but man, he
was a big part the other day. And yeah, of
course you know why because Jalen Warren wasn't there. But
I think all that does with what we saw the
other day from him is that it's going to continue
(35:14):
to hit for him to get a plenty of playing times.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Jerry, we didn't get a chance to talk with you
after Dublin, and I want to switch gears and ask
you about the fallout from the Ryder Cup and what
if anything will happen from the PGA or or US
Golf in terms of how that all unfolded. In what
(35:38):
a black eye that was for the US Golf Association.
Speaker 12 (35:43):
It really was Randall. I mean, look, you knew going
to New York, you know, with that crowd, you know,
as I like to say, the tank top and gold
chain crowd and that, and it reared its head even
more so. And the most popular player in America on
(36:07):
the PGA Tour in America is Rory McRory. And yet
he was he was verbally assailed and that's what created
the biggest uh, you know, the way they tormented him,
that created the biggest issue that everybody saw and talked about. Yeah,
they were on Shane Lowry, and they were on Bobby
(36:28):
McIntyre and all those guys, but the abuse on Rory
and even his wife. The PGA of America has already
kind of come out and some you know, basically apologized,
but they're gonna have to take a hard look at
it and every Hey, look, everybody knows there's a lot
of you know, kind of cat calling and everything that
goes on, but that that was just that went overboard.
(36:52):
And I think you will see the Europeans in two
years when it goes to Ireland that they're there and
and and it never gets that bad there as we know,
do you. I think there'll be a great, great emphasis
on making sure, hey, don't do what they did because
we don't want it, we don't want to lower ourselves.
I think that'll be the subtle message in two years.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Sorry for interrupting you there, Jared, but do you think
that part of this and I'm not excusing away any
of the behavior because I'm with you. I think that
behavior was embarrassing and unacceptable. But part of what made
it so big is his reaction real time to the hecklers.
And I think it's just part of his feistiness on
(37:33):
tour or just at least since I've been following along
since the US.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
How he was dressed, he was asking for it.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
No, no, I'm not trying I'm not trying to victim
blame here.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
But he has been over the top ornery just in
terms of not talking to the media and you know,
just sort of doing things his way and being pissed
off if anybody asks him about a club that he's
using or not using. Do you think that he has
any responsibility in how big it was in terms of
(38:02):
the viral reaction.
Speaker 12 (38:06):
I don't know that that's what fueled it initially, but
you know some of his you know, stepping away from
the ball and telling them that, you know, the people
to f offer all that one has given milk to
the kitty or in this case meat.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
To the wolves.
Speaker 12 (38:27):
So so for the top that at what point do
you just continue? I mean, because it's something that they
were It's not just some of the heckling. It was
the nature of the heckling, you know, the vulgarity, the heckling,
and at some point you sit there and you go, okay,
hey fellas, Okay, enough enough, And then you know, how
(38:50):
do you talk to morons? You speak like a moron
to talk to the moron.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
That's right.
Speaker 12 (38:59):
It just becomes self perpetuating, and it just it just
got it just got out of hand.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
