Speaker 2 (00:09):
Jackson rip when I lived on Mount Washington and I
used to walk him on Grand View Avenue every day
over to Olympia Park and then around the park and
back home. Walking on Granby Avenue, a dude who walked
past me with a sandwich in his hand hanging whoa,
and Jackson literally just went took a.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Bite of it and kept going. The guy was like,
and I was like, what happened? He's like, your dog
ate by sandwich and I'm like, the one you're holding,
he didn't eat it, and he's like, no, he just
took a bite of it. I'm like, I just started laughing.
I'm like, I'm so sorry, dude. I'm like, but I'll
get you. Let me see.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
The face and run. This is our thing. You just

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Morning The One Say.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Jeff Concole is hanging out in studio with us this morning,
Bill Crawford, Nabby Christner.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We'll be joined by Alvaro Martin later this morn in.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This Steeler Spanish broadcaster from the l Podcast in Machilato.
He's awesome. We met him in Dublin. He worked for
ESPN Deporte for years. He's done like twenty five Super Bowls.
Well really, so you got some nice street cred there.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh he's man.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
He looks great for his age. Twenty five super Bowls.
He looks like you could be hosting Fantasy Islands.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Like.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
He's a handsome, older Latin man. Uh and he is
also super knowledgeable about sport. But illuminated us to the
fact that there are more Steeler fans in Mexico City
than Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Uh, well, I would believe that because it is in
Mexico City, like the second most populous city in all
of the world. The world said, there's like seven to
eight there's yeah, one percent of that town makes up
more than us.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, pft comment or later Mark Madden as well, and
Abbey's got your news right now.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
News This hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Wet Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. It's less humid today,
cloud and then we get some sunshine. It's a high
of sixty eight and we did just enter October.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And yet you've probably seen somebody put.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Up a Christmas tree or some type of Christmas decoration somewhere,
maybe even in your own cities. Downtown plaza Pittsburgh just
put up their.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Downtown Christmas tree, and yes, what you don't like this?
Oh yeah, this is not okay. I thought there was
like a big ceremony. Yeah, it sounds like light up
night is when everything happened that weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, TA just did this report about the Christmas tree.
It was put up in the plaza at the ice rink,
even though the ice rink doesn't open up until November
the fourteenth. But there was a little boy that they
interviewed named Marcus Woodruff who said, I'm really excited.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Because we're going to skates.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
But I got to say they should have waited for
Halloween first, Marcus.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeahbody is that the source?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, we interviewed a four year old and he said
that he saw a Christmas tree downtown, like use it for?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That was just a tree. It's just a regular normal tree.
Every tree is a Christmas tree. It was a Christmas tweet. Yay.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I have to say, like my wife came home with
three boxes of what she called Halloween lights. She's like,
let's decorate the outside for Halloween and they were purple
and green Christmas lights, and I was very hesitant to
do this.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You bristled at this. I bristled pretty hard.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
At this, but I'm trying to, uh, you know, basically
be a little more fun. So I was just like,
I'll just put the things up. But meanwhile I was like,
this is wrong. I don't like this.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
This is this is.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Jumping over where the Christmas lights where.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They should be. Adam will disagree with you on this.
You like Christmas light, you like Halloween lights? Uh, yeah,
I don't go too crazy though I think it's happened.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I don't like the lights around Halloween to be more
than what you're going to do.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
For Chris Well, of course, yeah, but I like a
little bit of like some decoration.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
There, a shrub or two have.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I have one shrub and a skeleton inflatable and I
think once the inflatables come out, that's the purview of Christmas.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Also yep, slippery slope. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I don't like it, but this is what being a
dad and a husband is.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, you're doing.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
With yeah, mumbling to yourself as you set it all up.
Nobody's gonna help you and By the way, if your
kids tried to help you, you'd have a big.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Problem with it. Yeah, you're doing screaming it.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Then they'd run back in crying to her, and then
you'd walk back into your house in a fight.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I will say you always get some credits though, for
for doing outside light work.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You can. You can get a little time to yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But even if it because that it took me all
of maybe seventeen minutes to set all this stuff up,
but I milked it for about an hour and a half.
I walked by the window saying God damn it a
couple of times, just to really make sure that everybody
knew I.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Was really working hardly. You know, it's frustrating. Well, this
is the easy year, you know, the first year that
you get the lights. They all work. Yes, talk to
me again next season when.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You have that clicker thing that your trouble shoot, Yeah,
that never works.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Because you don't want to buy another strand for six dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I did take her to Spirit last night. We did
like a little trip to Spirit to take a look around,
just you know.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, one more in the mood.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, which I won't do any of that stuff like
you know they almost have. Spirit is getting smarter where
they are now, Like all the viral videos that are
going around of little kids getting terrified and how elaborate
everything is at Spirit, they're almost making that part of
the attraction of walking into Spirit, like little Toddler's getting
afraid of the gigantic.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I took my son into home Depot probably around this
time last year, and I had my older son with
me and my younger son. My younger son wanted to
go look at the animatronic like the big like six
foot tall Frankensteins and everything like that. I don't think
he knew that they moved, So me and my older
son are in the hardware aisle. He wanders off and
all I hear is and he ran back. I was like,
(06:08):
what was that. He's like nothing, nothing. That definitely was
not me screaming at that moved when I waved my
hand in front of its face.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, you do the lawn and blow up stuff or
the skeletons or anything.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
No, I mean we put little like skulls in our
bushes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But that's that's really pretty much about it. To show
everybody you're you're not terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
No, And I've always wanted to have like a cool
Halloween house like sense, I really just want a dry
ice machine, like like a fog machine, but I want
to have it run for you know, other events such
as Halloween. Just like random Saturday breakfast where I make
pancakes and come out the living room is cloaked in
a carpet.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Of fog and you can just serve up some pink.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It just adds the theatricalness the undertaker. Yes, right, it's
been my dream.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I ratchet it up on Halloween proper like I do.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I bring a fire table out, and I do bring
out like things that are usually in the house, like
a big crystal ball, and I put a table out,
and I do some stuff I like make it like
a little more fun for the kids and all that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Sacrifice a live cat, I get it. Well, everybody does that.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But but uh, Edie is fighting me because I won't
get an inflatable for the yard.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And I have a big thing against inflatables. I just
don't like them.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm not trying to go against anybody who likes inflatables. Really,
your thing is just not my thing. And so that's
the she's been harping on me. She's like, what about
an inflatable? And I'm like, I don't like them. Why
don't you like them? Because they look like trash most
of the time because they're usually not inflated.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Ye, and they look like trash in the yard. They
just look like, you.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Know, crumpled, yesse, all their laundryes in their front yard.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I told them, I said, you won the battle for Christmas.
I got you a Christmas inflatable. When Christmas comes, we'll
do the inflatable Halloween.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
That's mommies.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
No.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I always think it's funny with the inflatables around around Christmas,
you know, you know, we just have you know, twelve
Megahurtz fans running all night up and down the block,
Christmas lights on drawing from the power grid. We're trying
to make, you know, Bridgeville look like a winter wonderland. Meanwhile,
the polar ice caps are melting. There's one brown polar
bear left up there, like, can you turn.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
This stuff up? Guys getting a little hot up there.
Oh the irony.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
There's one other Halloween thing I want to ask you,
tell me if you think your kids would go for this,
because this is actually a new concept for me, because
there's like Elf on the shelf is like a big
Christmas thing. There's another thing called the switch witch, which
I have not heard of. It's apparently a new Halloween
tradition that involves kids trading in their candy for gifts.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
So after they're done trick or trading, they get to
keep like five pieces of can be.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Then the night of Halloween they trade in their candy
and then the next morning the switch witch comes and
takes all the candy and trades them in for presence offering.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Basically, she feels very pagan.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, can I guess I sort of get it because
if you start, you see what how much candy your
kids bring back?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Like, you couldn't eat this in a year?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
If I like, she doesn't, Yeah, like we keep in
the kitchen drawer and you have it as a little
sniky snack every so often or sothing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But but that is I mean I kind of get.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
The problem is is we need standardization across the board
with these holidays and basically say what's happening and what's
not happening. You can't have a household that has the
switchwitch and another one that doesn't have the switchwitch, because
then no one knows what's going on. There's no continuity there.
People are talking at the bus stop about about the
discrepancies and then the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Kids are going to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
What you're saying, right, Well, I thought you were going
to say it was if it was a kin to
elf on a shelf, it was like ghoul on a
stool or something like that. But then it wouldn't make sense, like,
you know, being good for Halloween. It's like you're literally
you're supposed to be bad, supposed to be bad, so
the ghoul and the stool will be making sure you're
being mischievous.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oool in the stool. Isn't that like a pre cancer
screening that you dump in a box and send it
off to something that.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So Mark Mann says he does that instead of cool stool.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
All right, moving on, The NFL ain't buying it or
just didn't care for Jerry Jones's explanation over why he
flipped fans the middle finger in the closing moments of
Sunday's Cowboys game because the league just hit the longtime
owner with a massive two hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Dollars fine here it is eighty.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Two year old Jones admitted to the one finger salute,
but said it was an accident. He said that he
meant to give a harmless thumbs up.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
You know how it happens.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, I mean one thing for sure, Jerry Jones, this
explains why he was such a bad hitchhiker.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the
NFL is making Jerry pay. While a quarter of a
million dollar fine is huge, the silver lining for Jones
is he has the money. According to Forbes, his Cowboys
team is worth around thirteen billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Well, the other thing, too, is like I've noticed in
recent years, coaches at press conferences are just fine using
the F word, like swearing all the time. Like did
they stop doing that? I'm like, I don't even want
my kids watching the postgame inn what because you lost,
you know, seventeen to fourteen, Like you're gonna go on
what would have been ten years ago, like a forever
(11:39):
YouTube worthy diatribe on that, Like you know, people never
used to do that.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was a little apoplectic about it yesterday because it's
just like if the people who are representing the shield
are okay, behaving like that. You can't come down on
anybody in the stands for acting like animal way.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You can't go after the players.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's just like this, there's got to be like some
norms in society where it's like you have to be
an example at some point when you are a billionaire owner.
But then after the show, I like looked it up.
He's not the first owner to do something like this.
I mean, I knew David Tepper had had his interactions.
I forgot one of the things David Tepper did since
(12:21):
he's been owner of the Carolina Panthers is throw a
drink on fans from the opposing team, as well as
pulling yeah and then pulling over on the side of
the road to go in a business that had like
a Jags joke on their like outside billboard or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I'm sorry. And the owner of the.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Titans also flipped off the fans before, So this is
not like exactly exclusive behavior, but it is something that
they should bang him with a quarter million fine.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I think I'd like to.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Write a paper like or some kind of pamphlets or
something like that, because I have noticed this where like
we have an epidemic, right now of low class rich people.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yes, in years past, the rich people used to at
least have.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
The decency to send their kids to good schools and
like have their kids be polite. It was like the
no bless obleached, where like, hey, hey, we're very privileged,
so we're gonna even though we get the bulk of it,
we're gonna spread it around a little bit and tryst
set an example. I don't feel like there's anyone carrying
that torch right now. It is all in for themselves,
and the more rich you are, the more low class.
(13:33):
It allows you to be all of a sudden and
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, the country club is full of Rodney dangerfields now, yes,
one hundred percent. I mean it used to be behavior
and that that was a comedic premise that you would
go in and be a meathead amongst all the refined people.
And now there are no more refined people. Yeah, everybody
just like an animal craft. I mean, got caught at
(13:57):
a rub and tug in a strip, A nice one.
You don't have access to a better place.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah you got.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
There's got to be a high priced hooker, not one
next to a Jersey sun.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Yeah, what are we doing and that was I mean,
that just happened, and now it's over and it's okay.
Nobody talks about it anymore. Jerry Jones, same thing. Like
picture's surface of him on the internet with his pants
unbuttoned and yeah, sloppy drunk with some girl in his arms.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That who the hell is she?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And she's like twenty Yeah, I mean that's just disgusting.
It doesn't matter, but like, I don't know why it
bothers me so much. I hate when I hear people
in the stands screaming the F word and things like that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Like I don't have kids, but I feel so bad when.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The people are there with their kids and they have
to hear that stuff, Like you gotta have a baseline
of behavior when you're out in public. We used to
be a society, you know, Dude, My son loves like
they are. Both of them are sessed with football and
I've never taken them to a Steelers game. I will not,
and I'm sorry to say that, but like that environment
(15:07):
there is not it's not even enjoyable for normal rational
adults in my opinion, like let alone kids that, Like
it's insane what goes on in those and I'll tell.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You where it gets really bad is at the bar.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
People's entitlement where they won't wait for a drink and
they're yelling because their experience is being impeded. They're like
afraid they're gonna miss two seconds of the game, and
so they berate bartenders, they're they're they're a holes other
people in line because they're already banged up. You know,
right now, it's always kind of been like that. If
that's not like a new behavior, but it is way
(15:43):
more widespread now. It's like you're expecting it, like, uh,
we're gonna run into some people here.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But then all that thoughtful attention then rolls downhill, like
like if there's a tense situation in the stands, it
makes everyone around tense, and then there's more likelyhood for
there to be little nodes of tension between other things,
and it's just like a big exponential like growth patterns.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, we know what the impetus for all this is.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I mean, social media has everybody in fight or flight,
and it's not even fight or flight. It's like fight
and fight.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, let's do both, I mean, and then run away
from the top.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I still feel like there's safe harbor times in the season,
and you know, to take your kids where it would
be safe. Like I always take my kids to a
preseason season games were okay.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Those are seem seemingly like uneventful.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
It's because there's nothing at stake, right, so like if
they lose it, so no one's really amped up. But
even in your like recently, the preseason games I feel
like have become sort of like a Friday night tailgate,
you know, Oh yes too.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
I mean, if you go high enough up in the state,
somebody's punching somebody in the face.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
But it's usually like a certain age group that's responsible
for that behavior.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Right, isn't it Like in post college.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, I've seen some people who should know better getting
into some things. Although like in a way, I sort
of want to take my kids to see some of
this thing because like one time I saw like what
I thought was just pure democracy in action. There was
someone who was literally causing a problem for like four
hundred people, and words were exchanged, fists were thrown, then
(17:26):
like three people started punching the guy that was causing
the problem, and then when the cops came, everyone all
agreed that guy's the problem, and removed him from the situation,
even though I don't think he was the one to
throw the first punch. The other guy was. But at
the same time, I was like, see, this is democracy.
We've all decided that that guy was the problem. Goodbye now,
like you know, that's it.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I do think that it's still the minority of people
obviously that behave like that. And most of the time
when someone is and I've been sitting in the same
section for since the stadium opened, I've been in the
same seats since the stadium open. I'm around a lot
of the same people. We've been there for twenty years.
And most of the time when someone's misbehaving, everybody hates
(18:07):
that person. It's not like everybody's just like, yeah, this
is how it is. Most of the people hated it. Yeah,
But like I do take solace in the fact that
we're like looking around like, oh, that guy.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Sucks so bad. I wish somebody would shuck it. But
then what you what's your what's your hope? You're hoping
for a hero the whole game.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Someone and Jack's that jag off in the jaw.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
You're just hoping that someone's just like does this can
this guy's job. Let him get away with a simple
assault charge, like can he because all the normal people
are like I gotta go to work on Monday, and
then this.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Guy is unemployed, yes, yes, fired on Friday. Here on Sunday,
just again, before and after the we should have x
con lifer bouncers who can take shaved time off their
sentences by being, you know, a patrolman at the at
the Steelers game.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That would make me feel safe.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Like an early season one o'clock game versus the Dolphins
or something is a safe game to go to. Now
you start getting later, it starts getting colder. Now we're
talking like a night game division. That's that's gonna be
thunder Dog.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'm telling you right now, Sunday is not going to
be a real like yeah, it will not be a
very uh like tense free situation.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Thinks there with Miles Garrett Jersey exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And also shed Or Sanders is now one step away
from the presidency, you know what I mean, being under center.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
We could only be so lucky.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I agree with you on that. And uh, we always
play them tough. It's always a one score game. I mean,
we all have a ridiculous record.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
We own the home.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, but that beings and Mike toml coming off the
buy is like ridiculous. That being said, it's still Steelers
Brown's as North Football.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You know, the Ravens rivalry really did sort of take
over where the Browns and Steelers left off before they
left Cleveland. It never I don't think has gotten because
Cleveland's just been bad, so it's never gotten back to
that Cleveland Pittsburgh legendary back. It has been pretty one sided,
but it's still there. It's still inherent. It's in our
(20:26):
DNA that this game is a big time rivalry.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I think you have the Miles Garrett slamming Mason with
the helmet, the Miles Garrett T. J. Watt, Yes, sort of,
and you got enough that that's there. That's that's rocket,
no no doubt about. It's Sunday, one o'clock, the kickoff,
and you know, just try not to be a jag.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't see as many Browns fans coming down to
these games as I used to. I will say that too,
like through the years they've kind of gotten tired of
coming down here and watching them lose. But Ravens fans
show up, Oh yeah, except this year they're not even
showing up to M and T, so I'm not even sure.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
No, they hate their team right now.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, if they'll, if they'll make the track this year,
it's gonna be supposed to be a nice day, I
think on Sunday, isn't it abby?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm pretty sure it is. I think it's gonna be
in the sixties and sunny. Yeah, well, yeah, dude, I mean,
how the game goes definitely affects people's behavior.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
If it's twice and Sonny and the Steelers are up,
and things will be good.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You see some soul foliage on Mount Washington. Just think
twice about about about getting into a fight.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
The best is going into the bathroom and hearing people
yell at the radio because they pump the radio broadcast
through and like Kinger and Max will be talking and
people are like they're answering back to them and yelling
at them while they're waiting to peet. Get Warren out
of there to yeah, friends, he does what yeah, and
(21:50):
you so badly want to And again, never engage in
the never make eye contacts, head down, don't try to
correct someone. Just let people look at the trough get
it all out of them in every way.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yes, right, they had troughs in uh in Croke Park.
Oh yeah, I did not like it. Trough culture. Not
a trough guy.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Not a trough guy, trough like comus.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
All of the bathrooms in Dublin were so tiny. You
wouldn't have liked that either.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
No, it is true, like why don't they make women
like hold onto like bicycle handles and squat over a
trough like that? I mean that it really is demeaning
now that, now that I think about it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I mean a lot of places in Europe they just
have like urinals on the side of the like Amsterdam,
you just pee on the side of the road, and

Speaker 9 (23:37):
When the putt dropped last night at Madison Square Garden,
new Penguins head coach Dan youse starting lineup seemingly betrayed
a flair for the dramatic Depends. Had twenty year teammates
Sidney Crosby, if Getty Malkin, and Crystal Tang on the ice,
along with teenagers Ben Kindall and Harrison Brunneck. But as
it turned out, News was being practical, not trying to
(23:59):
play on a show on Broadway.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
For openers.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I think it's, you know, it's I don't know if
it's always going to be the case, but I think
when the opportunity presents itself to get those guys out
right away rather than sit there for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You never know how it's going to go if you
go back.
Speaker 10 (24:14):
Like in one of our later exhibition games, you know,
we end up just you never know. We took a
penalty and were was you know, we're going for four minutes.
So like, you know, you just don't want to leave
things a chance.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You know.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
Obviously, we had three guys that have been playing together
for twenty years, and I thought it was important that
they get to start that game together. And so it
kind of works out well to be able to do that.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
Ye good explanation, but symbolic nonetheless, right. I mean, you
got this team in the new they're trying to figure
out who they are and what direction they're going in,
and you got these three guys that have been playing
together for twenty years, the longest trio in the history
of North American sports, and two teenagers.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Here's here's the victory lap, here's the future send in
some case kids.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Yeah, and uh it worked out three nothing over the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Really cool video.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
I don't know if you saw them getting the you know,
them getting called into the office and told that they'd
be in the starting day lineup. I did see both
of those kids like, that's that's got to be thrilled.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Your parents signed this permission, and this was adamant that
that they earned it.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
They just kept giving those guys more on their plate
throughout training camp to see when they would get to
the saturation point where they couldn't handle it, and they
never did.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Why not? Why not? Why do you even start Joe
Flacco just go doll games?
Speaker 9 (25:36):
I mean, you're gonna play some veteran that, yeah, you're
gonna get okay play from this guy, and you know
what he's gonna do.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Let's see what.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
They got and maybe this will inspire them to be
better sooner.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
The real symbolic gesture I thought was starting R twos
Ar tours Se Lovs and goal over Tristan Jarry. This
is a guy who's had just a little bit of
success in the league, but in the postseason, and he's
still technically a rookie, and he's got size and you
don't know where he's gonna go. But you got him
for nothing. And you've seen Tristan jarr even if you're
(26:09):
the new Penguins head coach. So while you're trying to
figure out what you are roster wise, why not turn
the page and.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Goal see whether that takes you You You were.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Asking as to whether or not that was like sort
of a bucking and organizational desire there. I would think
that if I'm Kyle Dubis, I don't want anybody to
be reminded of Tristan Jarry.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
Maybe hir'd your mistake. Yeah, I just I wonder whose
call that was. I wonder if Muse has the lineup,
if if Dubis gets the groceries but Muse cooks them,
or if hey, I want this in and I want
that in and I don't want that in.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
If he had a hand in it, I think it
would have been Dubis. That means, yeah, being you know,
the hand Uh, it would have been to not start Jarry.
It would have been to as Bill said, let's had
the mistake. Let's let's not remind people, because.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I mean, it could just be that he lost his
job to this this Latvian kid. Because I remember texting JT.
Miller right when the Pens picked him up because they
were former teammates in Vancouver, and he said, he's a
pretty good goalie. He's confident, he has swagger, he's laughing.
So he's incredibly weird. But other than that, he's good.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
Well, he's goalie, so he's incredibly weird, right, But yeah,
that's he looked like he knew what he was doing
in there, and not necessarily the smoothest guy out there.
He's more a reaction type goal you know, I've watched
him play one game.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
He's going to say.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
He looked like he was more reactive last night than
that style they teach now where he just dropped down
and try to get big and let the puck hit you.
He looked like he was actually moving to make saves,
which I found refreshing because that's the way they used.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
To do it. What do you think of that ESPN production?
That's fine?
Speaker 9 (27:52):
Yeah, I mean I'm watching the game. I'm not really
looking at that kind of stuff. I love Sean McDonald,
That's what I'm I think he does any sport, and
he does it very well.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Agreed. I was a fan of his dad too.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Well, Yeah, a lot of people were a fan of
his dad. How different was that Penguin's line up last night?
Four rookies in the lineup. They've got five on the roster.
That's the most they've had since back in twenty three
to four, and thirteen guys who were in the opening
night line up last year were not this year for
various reasons. It is a different team. We'll see if
(28:29):
it's a better one. But an encouraging start last night
Penn's Three Rangers Nothing.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Can you remember when Will McDonald would do NBC NFL
On NBC, they would have him on as a panelist Bill.
He was basically looked like a guy from Boston who
got up with a hangover, and he would just sit
there and then they did and the thickest Boston accent
just give you a very low key assessment of what
was going on. But he was always like brutally honest
(28:55):
and really really smart and a great writer.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Too, great writer, Yeah, great writer, And that it looked
like the kind of writer I grew up idolizing a.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Goalie for a dartboard yeah acting yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, I remember this dude. I just looked him up. Yes.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
I always thought Oscar Madison was more realistic of portrayal
than a David Credit.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Penn's home opener'll be thirsty mess Yeah yes, yeah, against
the more than meets the guy, right, somebody you might
not take as seriously as you should after you read
the Brilliance book cover.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But man, he was he was old. I mean he
passed away in two thousand and three. Yeah, old Sean's
really good. When I was a kid, though, he was
like on every Sunday.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
Steelers getting ready for the Browns on Sunday at Actors
your state.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And this one's going to leave a mark. That defense
is real. You know.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
I was telling you guys after they lost to Seattle
that the sky was not falling. Now that they're three
and one, I'm telling you the path to the playoffs
is not paved with one easy game after another.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Despite the implosion of the North.
Speaker 9 (30:06):
It's still early, man, it's still And you guys know
the division, particularly the Browns. I mean, the Bengals appear
to be an anomaly. They're just not competitive.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
They have no offensive line. I don't understand what they
do there.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I mean, well, I think getting a forty year old
and mobile quarterback will fix it.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Well on their defense stinks, and I mean they did
better than this without Borrow before.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
This is weird, but it is weird. This Browning. Browning
has sucked.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
This Cleveland team could be winless and it could be
three and two, and it's played a couple of games
that came down to the end and.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
The one win they have is against Green Bay. A
lot of people are, you know, super Bowl team when they.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Were losing by ten in the fourth quarter and they
needed they needed a block field goal and a fumble
and or no pick return to the four yard line.
Brown's gonna play physical. Their defense is the real deal,
and they can run the ball. They're running back quin
Shawn Judkins out of Ohio State.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
He showed up.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Is what I thought Caleb Johnson was going to be
and may yet be. But hard runner, aggressive moves the
pile can get to the second level. Caleb at least
took a step forward to Van Dublin and Mike Toma
talked about him a little bit yesterday. Long season. You know,
I don't know when the next opportunity is going to come,
(31:26):
but it is going to come.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
But what like bothers me about it as they're talking
about in the same way he's talking about Roman Wilson,
which is like when he uses that encouraging coach speak
of like you know a light still on for him
and you know his story is not finished.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Et cetera. And it's like he that means his lights
off and the story's finished. Yeah, it means that they're like, eh,
he's on his last chance. But not Caleb.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I think Roman Wilson is definitely not what they were
hoping for.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well, Caleb still could be.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Roman Wilson is not better than Calvin Austin. And the
one thing that I think factors into the lack of
use for Roman Wilson is the amount of times when
they're in two wide receivers, it's Metcalf in Austin. They've
changed their philosophical method of deploying these guys.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Their personality.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
They don't have the different groups of two and different
groups of three as much as they used to. And
I think the reason they do that is they perceive
metcalf and Austin if you're going to get one on one,
which they rarely get, but if you're gonna get that,
either one of those guys can kill the defense and
Rogers can recognize it and Rogers can take advantage of it.
So they want those guys on the field. And then
(32:41):
when they go three and a lot, now Scronica gets
in a lot because of the run game.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
To me. This is all the butterfly effect of the
line not being good enough to start the season. I
know that there's room for improvement, but I mean that's
why you're coming out in jumbo sets and feature tight
ends and.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Do what you gotta do, right. They ran the ball against.
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Minnesota and Cleveland's gonna be really hard to run against.
But I can't wait to find out if they can
do it, because if they can run the.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Bay offensive lineman, how many of this week? Whatever it takes.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
A wise man once said, Yeah, that guy's name was
Chuck Noele. By the way, that was one of his catchphrases.
Whatever it takes. If they can run the ball against Cleveland,
then you know that offensive line is making significant strides.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Steelers Browns one o'clock Sunday here on DVE, Abby, you'll
have your news coming up at the top of the hour.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Another TV entity is jumping off the Bill Belichick bandwagon,
and Bob Ross might be saving PBS from the great beyond.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
On the way for you.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Almaro Martin from the Steeler Spanish broadcast, the host of
the podcast in Machilato.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
On that podcast, my great name I have not I
think it's in Spanish. Oh no, hobblah. He did duck
his head in while they were doing it in Doublin.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
He's happened in this country. And then they're like, He's like, oh,
we're broadcasting to a different country. Yeah, so funny. They
let anybody that was so funny. I'm just let it
wasn't worse right up now, I know I really couldn't
know that was I thought that was hilarious. PFT. Coming

The football is of course in full swing and the
puck has at last dropped on hockey. But if you're

is about baseball. Four games on tap, which means countless
opportunities to cash parlays and player performance props and winners
and totals, and of course live in game betting with
the bet Parks sports book and online casino app. There

Michelle Michaels is your host for the all Request the
Electric Line Jed Noon.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Hey, Michelle, I got a good one for the look
great ideas on one oh two point five DV.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
It's football season, So how about not wasting another Sunday
feeling like you gotta clean the garage again? It's abby
and Pittsburgh Garage can add stunning June to back.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
From vacation, Joe Burrow's.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Injury absolutely decimates the Bengals chances. They decide if we
can get Joe Burrow back with a chance of getting
the playoffs, we got to do everything we can to
make that happen.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
And so let's trade.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Our sixth round, our fifth round pick next year for
a sixth round pick and a forty year old quarterback.
And that's what they did. So, I mean, look, give
Mike Brown a little bit of credit there. At least
he didn't just punt on the season, like I was saying, like,
what's the point, you know, maybe he did what.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It's it looks like they're making an effort here, but
it's not exactly like bringing in Kirk Cousins to make
it happen.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
I mean, I think Flacco can still do some things,
but not behind that line.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
I know the line is the scary part for him.
But he can throw a deep ball as good as
anybody in the game. But and they got two real
good receivers.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
That's why you wonder why you wouldn't have tried to
get maybe like a Jameis Winston in there.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Decision making I guess questionable, Yeah, probably like the thrown
it to the other guys. Maybe they've seen too many
interceptions already.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
They didn't even call the Giants for Russ or for Jamis.
This was they They had Flacco eyed up, and now
the Browns are on Dylan Gabriel Bailey ZAPPI activated from
the practice squad. It remains me seeing whether or not
he'll get the number two over she door.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Yeah he zapi will I mean so I can't imagine
he wouldn't he payed.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
They won't put Shador Sanders at number two, that he's
still gonna be the number three.
Speaker 9 (37:31):
I don't think that's even a conversation. But you know,
I don't know what they're talking about. But if I
was making that call, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Now the Browns don't have either of the two quarterbacks
they spent their entire training camp working out. They're gone,
so offensively, the Browns should be able to be something
the Steelers can manage this Sunday stop the run, which
if they can stop the run Derek Harmon back, it
(37:59):
looks a lot better with Alex high Smith back on
the end and plays the run a little bit better.
The three linebacker package you were talking about, maybe you
get the best of both worlds there. I don't think
they're gonna put the ball in Dylan Gabriel's hands to
win the game.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
No a lot of play action boot he threw more
to running backs and tight ends against Minnesota than he
did receivers, and I thought it was interesting that the
most targeted receiver in the Vikings game was Isaiah Bond,
who's a rookie, and I'm wondering if that's because that's
the guy that Gabriel was getting reps with. You know,
(38:35):
he wasn't playing with the Ones, so he wasn't throwing
to Jerry Judy, who's a really good receiver and they
just can't get him activated.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Well, maybe that has something to do with the guy
that was open to for Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
I don't know, possibly, but Gabriel he was playing, I
don't want to say not to lose, but he's playing
safe and conservative against the Vikings, and the game allowed
them to do that. You know, they were either ahead
or not very far behind, and it was a one
score game throughout and there was there was not an
issue all. We got to open it up, we got
(39:08):
to throw it all over the yard, and Judkins was
he's just getting better every week.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Stefanski kind of mangled the end of that game. I
thought too clock management wise, Yes he did.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
He also called Dylan Gabrielle Tommy Callahan with how much
time he spent in college because.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
He was in college for like eight years, six years,
three schools.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
That's how they do it now. It's very strange to me.
Speaker 9 (39:34):
But he's I look at him as kind of like
good Russell Wilson two point zero. I think he can
throw the deep ball. They haven't let him do that yet.
But his Oregon tape was very good, and he's very smart,
and he's extremely Although it's funny he's fast. He's not
quite as mobile in the pros as he was in college.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
No, but I wonder why arch Manning isn't as mobile
in college as he was in high school.
Speaker 9 (39:59):
You know, the guy a little bigger, a little fact,
but he knows what he's doing back there. He doesn't
fall apart. I did think there were times in that
Vikings game. Early in the game he would pick his
spots and throw in the tight windows. And at the
end of the game, when they were heading the fourth quarter,
there were some one on ones that looked like he
was just throwing the ball away so it wouldn't get
(40:20):
picked off. It looked like he missed that badly, which
surprised me.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yeah, Sam, there were a couple of third downplays even
earlier in the game.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Like give you got a chance, man, Yeah, Like don't
don't just throw it out of bounce.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Tomlin is twenty six and six against rookie qbs at
home against the Browns twenty one straight regular season games.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
There was that playoff when the Browns.
Speaker 9 (40:45):
Had what was his last rookie QB game, Drake May alright, No,
he was rookie?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Was it?
Speaker 9 (40:53):
The guy with three names? Dorian Thompson, Robinson?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
He was a rookie? He wasn't. I didn't think he was. Was. Well,
they're fourteen and four after the break. I mean that
got Matt Canada fired after a bye and.
Speaker 9 (41:06):
I think this is a horrible scheduling disadvantage for the
Browns having to come back from London.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Yeah, and now the road games only Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (41:14):
It's not Seattle, but having to play a road division
game after a European game is that is no favorite of.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Cleveland great weather in all the sports back in action,
October is the best month period with the Major League
Baseball playoffs in full roar. Last night, the Yankees make
a huge comeback off the early the Aaron Judge home
run in the fourth.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
They were down six to one Randall after getting how's
the first two games?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
So they got the stud the kid coming up tonight, Schlittler,
he's going to add to Jace to his list. You
know people have been having trouble pronouncing his name. Yes,
they had, and they were kicking it around on the
post game last night.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Everything want to pronounced his last name? You cut first, Whitler. Oh, well,
he's the master Schlittler, Slittler. You know, now your turn, Hitler.
Let's go to a break. Get poppy him. You just
call him Cam Cam Now.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
When he said that Poppy Kevin Burkhart, you just call
him Cam. It reminded me of the tounch Ilkin and
Myron Cope back and forth about fuck here Brown?
Speaker 9 (42:26):
Who is that guy the cornerback who allounded Faker Brown?
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Thirty five? Fuck kid? Fuck you Brown? Is that the
guy that I am?
Speaker 3 (42:41):
The guy right? Thirty five?
Speaker 1 (42:43):
That's the Faker?
Speaker 3 (42:44):
You could just call him Brown?
Speaker 9 (42:50):
Billy always the professional trying to save Myron. Oh he's
by implying, he said faker. Yes, when we all heard

Bill Crawford, Nabby Christner.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We'll be joined by Alvaro Martin later this morn in.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This Steeler Spanish broadcaster from the l Podcast in Machilato.
He's awesome. We met him in Dublin. He worked for
ESPN Deporte for years. He's done like twenty five Super Bowls.
Well really, so you got some nice street cred there.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh he's man.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
He looks great for his age. Twenty five super Bowls.
He looks like you could be hosting Fantasy Islands.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Like.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
He's a handsome, older Latin man. Uh and he is
also super knowledgeable about sport. But illuminated us to the
fact that there are more Steeler fans in Mexico City
than Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Uh, well, I would believe that because it is in
Mexico City, like the second most populous city in all
of the world. The world said, there's like seven to
eight there's yeah, one percent of that town makes up
more than us.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, pft comment or later Mark Madden as well, and
Abbey's got your news right now.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
News This hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Wet Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. It's less humid today,
cloud and then we get some sunshine. It's a high
of sixty eight and we did just enter October.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And yet you've probably seen somebody put.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Up a Christmas tree or some type of Christmas decoration somewhere,
maybe even in your own cities. Downtown plaza Pittsburgh just
put up their.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Downtown Christmas tree, and yes, what you don't like this?
Oh yeah, this is not okay. I thought there was
like a big ceremony. Yeah, it sounds like light up
night is when everything happened that weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, TA just did this report about the Christmas tree.
It was put up in the plaza at the ice rink,
even though the ice rink doesn't open up until November
the fourteenth. But there was a little boy that they
interviewed named Marcus Woodruff who said, I'm really excited.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Because we're going to skates.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
But I got to say they should have waited for
Halloween first, Marcus.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeahbody is that the source?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, we interviewed a four year old and he said
that he saw a Christmas tree downtown, like use it for?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That was just a tree. It's just a regular normal tree.
Every tree is a Christmas tree. It was a Christmas tweet. Yay.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I have to say, like my wife came home with
three boxes of what she called Halloween lights. She's like,
let's decorate the outside for Halloween and they were purple
and green Christmas lights, and I was very hesitant to
do this.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You bristled at this. I bristled pretty hard.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
At this, but I'm trying to, uh, you know, basically
be a little more fun. So I was just like,
I'll just put the things up. But meanwhile I was like,
this is wrong. I don't like this.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
This is this is.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Jumping over where the Christmas lights where.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They should be. Adam will disagree with you on this.
You like Christmas light, you like Halloween lights? Uh, yeah,
I don't go too crazy though I think it's happened.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I don't like the lights around Halloween to be more
than what you're going to do.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
For Chris Well, of course, yeah, but I like a
little bit of like some decoration.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
There, a shrub or two have.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I have one shrub and a skeleton inflatable and I
think once the inflatables come out, that's the purview of Christmas.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Also yep, slippery slope. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I don't like it, but this is what being a
dad and a husband is.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, you're doing.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
With yeah, mumbling to yourself as you set it all up.
Nobody's gonna help you and By the way, if your
kids tried to help you, you'd have a big.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Problem with it. Yeah, you're doing screaming it.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Then they'd run back in crying to her, and then
you'd walk back into your house in a fight.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I will say you always get some credits though, for
for doing outside light work.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You can. You can get a little time to yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
But even if it because that it took me all
of maybe seventeen minutes to set all this stuff up,
but I milked it for about an hour and a half.
I walked by the window saying God damn it a
couple of times, just to really make sure that everybody
knew I.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Was really working hardly. You know, it's frustrating. Well, this
is the easy year, you know, the first year that
you get the lights. They all work. Yes, talk to
me again next season when.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You have that clicker thing that your trouble shoot, Yeah,
that never works.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Because you don't want to buy another strand for six dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I did take her to Spirit last night. We did
like a little trip to Spirit to take a look around,
just you know.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, one more in the mood.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, which I won't do any of that stuff like
you know they almost have. Spirit is getting smarter where
they are now, Like all the viral videos that are
going around of little kids getting terrified and how elaborate
everything is at Spirit, they're almost making that part of
the attraction of walking into Spirit, like little Toddler's getting
afraid of the gigantic.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I took my son into home Depot probably around this
time last year, and I had my older son with
me and my younger son. My younger son wanted to
go look at the animatronic like the big like six
foot tall Frankensteins and everything like that. I don't think
he knew that they moved, So me and my older
son are in the hardware aisle. He wanders off and
all I hear is and he ran back. I was like,
(06:08):
what was that. He's like nothing, nothing. That definitely was
not me screaming at that moved when I waved my
hand in front of its face.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, you do the lawn and blow up stuff or
the skeletons or anything.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
No, I mean we put little like skulls in our
bushes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But that's that's really pretty much about it. To show
everybody you're you're not terrible.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
No, And I've always wanted to have like a cool
Halloween house like sense, I really just want a dry
ice machine, like like a fog machine, but I want
to have it run for you know, other events such
as Halloween. Just like random Saturday breakfast where I make
pancakes and come out the living room is cloaked in
a carpet.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Of fog and you can just serve up some pink.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It just adds the theatricalness the undertaker. Yes, right, it's
been my dream.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I ratchet it up on Halloween proper like I do.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I bring a fire table out, and I do bring
out like things that are usually in the house, like
a big crystal ball, and I put a table out,
and I do some stuff I like make it like
a little more fun for the kids and all that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Sacrifice a live cat, I get it. Well, everybody does that.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But but uh, Edie is fighting me because I won't
get an inflatable for the yard.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
And I have a big thing against inflatables. I just
don't like them.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm not trying to go against anybody who likes inflatables. Really,
your thing is just not my thing. And so that's
the she's been harping on me. She's like, what about
an inflatable? And I'm like, I don't like them. Why
don't you like them? Because they look like trash most
of the time because they're usually not inflated.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Ye, and they look like trash in the yard. They
just look like, you.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Know, crumpled, yesse, all their laundryes in their front yard.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I told them, I said, you won the battle for Christmas.
I got you a Christmas inflatable. When Christmas comes, we'll
do the inflatable Halloween.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
That's mommies.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
No.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I always think it's funny with the inflatables around around Christmas,
you know, you know, we just have you know, twelve
Megahurtz fans running all night up and down the block,
Christmas lights on drawing from the power grid. We're trying
to make, you know, Bridgeville look like a winter wonderland. Meanwhile,
the polar ice caps are melting. There's one brown polar
bear left up there, like, can you turn.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
This stuff up? Guys getting a little hot up there.
Oh the irony.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
There's one other Halloween thing I want to ask you,
tell me if you think your kids would go for this,
because this is actually a new concept for me, because
there's like Elf on the shelf is like a big
Christmas thing. There's another thing called the switch witch, which
I have not heard of. It's apparently a new Halloween
tradition that involves kids trading in their candy for gifts.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
So after they're done trick or trading, they get to
keep like five pieces of can be.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Then the night of Halloween they trade in their candy
and then the next morning the switch witch comes and
takes all the candy and trades them in for presence offering.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Basically, she feels very pagan.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, can I guess I sort of get it because
if you start, you see what how much candy your
kids bring back?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Like, you couldn't eat this in a year?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
If I like, she doesn't, Yeah, like we keep in
the kitchen drawer and you have it as a little
sniky snack every so often or sothing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But but that is I mean I kind of get.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
The problem is is we need standardization across the board
with these holidays and basically say what's happening and what's
not happening. You can't have a household that has the
switchwitch and another one that doesn't have the switchwitch, because
then no one knows what's going on. There's no continuity there.
People are talking at the bus stop about about the
discrepancies and then the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Kids are going to figure it out.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
What you're saying, right, Well, I thought you were going
to say it was if it was a kin to
elf on a shelf, it was like ghoul on a
stool or something like that. But then it wouldn't make sense, like,
you know, being good for Halloween. It's like you're literally
you're supposed to be bad, supposed to be bad, so
the ghoul and the stool will be making sure you're
being mischievous.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oool in the stool. Isn't that like a pre cancer
screening that you dump in a box and send it
off to something that.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So Mark Mann says he does that instead of cool stool.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
All right, moving on, The NFL ain't buying it or
just didn't care for Jerry Jones's explanation over why he
flipped fans the middle finger in the closing moments of
Sunday's Cowboys game because the league just hit the longtime
owner with a massive two hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Dollars fine here it is eighty.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Two year old Jones admitted to the one finger salute,
but said it was an accident. He said that he
meant to give a harmless thumbs up.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
You know how it happens.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, I mean one thing for sure, Jerry Jones, this
explains why he was such a bad hitchhiker.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the
NFL is making Jerry pay. While a quarter of a
million dollar fine is huge, the silver lining for Jones
is he has the money. According to Forbes, his Cowboys
team is worth around thirteen billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Well, the other thing, too, is like I've noticed in
recent years, coaches at press conferences are just fine using
the F word, like swearing all the time. Like did
they stop doing that? I'm like, I don't even want
my kids watching the postgame inn what because you lost,
you know, seventeen to fourteen, Like you're gonna go on
what would have been ten years ago, like a forever
(11:39):
YouTube worthy diatribe on that, Like you know, people never
used to do that.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I was a little apoplectic about it yesterday because it's
just like if the people who are representing the shield
are okay, behaving like that. You can't come down on
anybody in the stands for acting like animal way.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You can't go after the players.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's just like this, there's got to be like some
norms in society where it's like you have to be
an example at some point when you are a billionaire owner.
But then after the show, I like looked it up.
He's not the first owner to do something like this.
I mean, I knew David Tepper had had his interactions.
I forgot one of the things David Tepper did since
(12:21):
he's been owner of the Carolina Panthers is throw a
drink on fans from the opposing team, as well as
pulling yeah and then pulling over on the side of
the road to go in a business that had like
a Jags joke on their like outside billboard or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I'm sorry. And the owner of the.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Titans also flipped off the fans before, So this is
not like exactly exclusive behavior, but it is something that
they should bang him with a quarter million fine.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I think I'd like to.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Write a paper like or some kind of pamphlets or
something like that, because I have noticed this where like
we have an epidemic, right now of low class rich people.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yes, in years past, the rich people used to at
least have.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
The decency to send their kids to good schools and
like have their kids be polite. It was like the
no bless obleached, where like, hey, hey, we're very privileged,
so we're gonna even though we get the bulk of it,
we're gonna spread it around a little bit and tryst
set an example. I don't feel like there's anyone carrying
that torch right now. It is all in for themselves,
and the more rich you are, the more low class.
(13:33):
It allows you to be all of a sudden and
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Well, the country club is full of Rodney dangerfields now, yes,
one hundred percent. I mean it used to be behavior
and that that was a comedic premise that you would
go in and be a meathead amongst all the refined people.
And now there are no more refined people. Yeah, everybody
just like an animal craft. I mean, got caught at
(13:57):
a rub and tug in a strip, A nice one.
You don't have access to a better place.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah you got.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
There's got to be a high priced hooker, not one
next to a Jersey sun.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Yeah, what are we doing and that was I mean,
that just happened, and now it's over and it's okay.
Nobody talks about it anymore. Jerry Jones, same thing. Like
picture's surface of him on the internet with his pants
unbuttoned and yeah, sloppy drunk with some girl in his arms.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
That who the hell is she?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And she's like twenty Yeah, I mean that's just disgusting.
It doesn't matter, but like, I don't know why it
bothers me so much. I hate when I hear people
in the stands screaming the F word and things like that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Like I don't have kids, but I feel so bad when.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The people are there with their kids and they have
to hear that stuff, Like you gotta have a baseline
of behavior when you're out in public. We used to
be a society, you know, Dude, My son loves like
they are. Both of them are sessed with football and
I've never taken them to a Steelers game. I will not,
and I'm sorry to say that, but like that environment
(15:07):
there is not it's not even enjoyable for normal rational
adults in my opinion, like let alone kids that, Like
it's insane what goes on in those and I'll tell.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You where it gets really bad is at the bar.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
People's entitlement where they won't wait for a drink and
they're yelling because their experience is being impeded. They're like
afraid they're gonna miss two seconds of the game, and
so they berate bartenders, they're they're they're a holes other
people in line because they're already banged up. You know,
right now, it's always kind of been like that. If
that's not like a new behavior, but it is way
(15:43):
more widespread now. It's like you're expecting it, like, uh,
we're gonna run into some people here.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But then all that thoughtful attention then rolls downhill, like
like if there's a tense situation in the stands, it
makes everyone around tense, and then there's more likelyhood for
there to be little nodes of tension between other things,
and it's just like a big exponential like growth patterns.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, we know what the impetus for all this is.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I mean, social media has everybody in fight or flight,
and it's not even fight or flight. It's like fight
and fight.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Yeah, let's do both, I mean, and then run away
from the top.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I still feel like there's safe harbor times in the season,
and you know, to take your kids where it would
be safe. Like I always take my kids to a
preseason season games were okay.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Those are seem seemingly like uneventful.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
It's because there's nothing at stake, right, so like if
they lose it, so no one's really amped up. But
even in your like recently, the preseason games I feel
like have become sort of like a Friday night tailgate,
you know, Oh yes too.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
I mean, if you go high enough up in the state,
somebody's punching somebody in the face.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
But it's usually like a certain age group that's responsible
for that behavior.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Right, isn't it Like in post college.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, I've seen some people who should know better getting
into some things. Although like in a way, I sort
of want to take my kids to see some of
this thing because like one time I saw like what
I thought was just pure democracy in action. There was
someone who was literally causing a problem for like four
hundred people, and words were exchanged, fists were thrown, then
(17:26):
like three people started punching the guy that was causing
the problem, and then when the cops came, everyone all
agreed that guy's the problem, and removed him from the situation,
even though I don't think he was the one to
throw the first punch. The other guy was. But at
the same time, I was like, see, this is democracy.
We've all decided that that guy was the problem. Goodbye now,
like you know, that's it.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I do think that it's still the minority of people
obviously that behave like that. And most of the time
when someone is and I've been sitting in the same
section for since the stadium opened, I've been in the
same seats since the stadium open. I'm around a lot
of the same people. We've been there for twenty years.
And most of the time when someone's misbehaving, everybody hates
(18:07):
that person. It's not like everybody's just like, yeah, this
is how it is. Most of the people hated it. Yeah,
But like I do take solace in the fact that
we're like looking around like, oh, that guy.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Sucks so bad. I wish somebody would shuck it. But
then what you what's your what's your hope? You're hoping
for a hero the whole game.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Someone and Jack's that jag off in the jaw.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
You're just hoping that someone's just like does this can
this guy's job. Let him get away with a simple
assault charge, like can he because all the normal people
are like I gotta go to work on Monday, and
then this.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Guy is unemployed, yes, yes, fired on Friday. Here on Sunday,
just again, before and after the we should have x
con lifer bouncers who can take shaved time off their
sentences by being, you know, a patrolman at the at
the Steelers game.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That would make me feel safe.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Like an early season one o'clock game versus the Dolphins
or something is a safe game to go to. Now
you start getting later, it starts getting colder. Now we're
talking like a night game division. That's that's gonna be
thunder Dog.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'm telling you right now, Sunday is not going to
be a real like yeah, it will not be a
very uh like tense free situation.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Thinks there with Miles Garrett Jersey exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And also shed Or Sanders is now one step away
from the presidency, you know what I mean, being under center.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
We could only be so lucky.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I agree with you on that. And uh, we always
play them tough. It's always a one score game. I mean,
we all have a ridiculous record.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
We own the home.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, but that beings and Mike toml coming off the
buy is like ridiculous. That being said, it's still Steelers
Brown's as North Football.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You know, the Ravens rivalry really did sort of take
over where the Browns and Steelers left off before they
left Cleveland. It never I don't think has gotten because
Cleveland's just been bad, so it's never gotten back to
that Cleveland Pittsburgh legendary back. It has been pretty one sided,
but it's still there. It's still inherent. It's in our
(20:26):
DNA that this game is a big time rivalry.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I think you have the Miles Garrett slamming Mason with
the helmet, the Miles Garrett T. J. Watt, Yes, sort of,
and you got enough that that's there. That's that's rocket,
no no doubt about. It's Sunday, one o'clock, the kickoff,
and you know, just try not to be a jag.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't see as many Browns fans coming down to
these games as I used to. I will say that too,
like through the years they've kind of gotten tired of
coming down here and watching them lose. But Ravens fans
show up, Oh yeah, except this year they're not even
showing up to M and T, so I'm not even sure.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
No, they hate their team right now.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, if they'll, if they'll make the track this year,
it's gonna be supposed to be a nice day, I
think on Sunday, isn't it abby?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm pretty sure it is. I think it's gonna be
in the sixties and sunny. Yeah, well, yeah, dude, I mean,
how the game goes definitely affects people's behavior.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
If it's twice and Sonny and the Steelers are up,
and things will be good.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
You see some soul foliage on Mount Washington. Just think
twice about about about getting into a fight.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
The best is going into the bathroom and hearing people
yell at the radio because they pump the radio broadcast
through and like Kinger and Max will be talking and
people are like they're answering back to them and yelling
at them while they're waiting to peet. Get Warren out
of there to yeah, friends, he does what yeah, and
(21:50):
you so badly want to And again, never engage in
the never make eye contacts, head down, don't try to
correct someone. Just let people look at the trough get
it all out of them in every way.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yes, right, they had troughs in uh in Croke Park.
Oh yeah, I did not like it. Trough culture. Not
a trough guy.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Not a trough guy, trough like comus.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
All of the bathrooms in Dublin were so tiny. You
wouldn't have liked that either.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
No, it is true, like why don't they make women
like hold onto like bicycle handles and squat over a
trough like that? I mean that it really is demeaning
now that, now that I think about it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I mean a lot of places in Europe they just
have like urinals on the side of the like Amsterdam,
you just pee on the side of the road, and
it's like outdoor things, you know.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
A man every everywhere is your jurnal.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah the world mister Wednesday, Jeff Conkle, what are you
got coming up? Hey?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
On Friday, I'm gonna be at Archie's down in the
South Side with Ry Bride probably his one berg comedy
tour eight o'clock at Archie's on the South Side on Friday.
Speaker 1 (22:56):

Speaker 9 (23:37):
When the putt dropped last night at Madison Square Garden,
new Penguins head coach Dan youse starting lineup seemingly betrayed
a flair for the dramatic Depends. Had twenty year teammates
Sidney Crosby, if Getty Malkin, and Crystal Tang on the ice,
along with teenagers Ben Kindall and Harrison Brunneck. But as
it turned out, News was being practical, not trying to
(23:59):
play on a show on Broadway.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
For openers.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I think it's, you know, it's I don't know if
it's always going to be the case, but I think
when the opportunity presents itself to get those guys out
right away rather than sit there for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You never know how it's going to go if you
go back.
Speaker 10 (24:14):
Like in one of our later exhibition games, you know,
we end up just you never know. We took a
penalty and were was you know, we're going for four minutes.
So like, you know, you just don't want to leave
things a chance.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
You know.
Speaker 10 (24:25):
Obviously, we had three guys that have been playing together
for twenty years, and I thought it was important that
they get to start that game together. And so it
kind of works out well to be able to do that.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
Ye good explanation, but symbolic nonetheless, right. I mean, you
got this team in the new they're trying to figure
out who they are and what direction they're going in,
and you got these three guys that have been playing
together for twenty years, the longest trio in the history
of North American sports, and two teenagers.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Here's here's the victory lap, here's the future send in
some case kids.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Yeah, and uh it worked out three nothing over the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Really cool video.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
I don't know if you saw them getting the you know,
them getting called into the office and told that they'd
be in the starting day lineup. I did see both
of those kids like, that's that's got to be thrilled.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Your parents signed this permission, and this was adamant that
that they earned it.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
They just kept giving those guys more on their plate
throughout training camp to see when they would get to
the saturation point where they couldn't handle it, and they
never did.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Why not? Why not? Why do you even start Joe
Flacco just go doll games?
Speaker 9 (25:36):
I mean, you're gonna play some veteran that, yeah, you're
gonna get okay play from this guy, and you know
what he's gonna do.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Let's see what.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
They got and maybe this will inspire them to be
better sooner.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
The real symbolic gesture I thought was starting R twos
Ar tours Se Lovs and goal over Tristan Jarry. This
is a guy who's had just a little bit of
success in the league, but in the postseason, and he's
still technically a rookie, and he's got size and you
don't know where he's gonna go. But you got him
for nothing. And you've seen Tristan jarr even if you're
(26:09):
the new Penguins head coach. So while you're trying to
figure out what you are roster wise, why not turn
the page and.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Goal see whether that takes you You You were.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Asking as to whether or not that was like sort
of a bucking and organizational desire there. I would think
that if I'm Kyle Dubis, I don't want anybody to
be reminded of Tristan Jarry.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
Maybe hir'd your mistake. Yeah, I just I wonder whose
call that was. I wonder if Muse has the lineup,
if if Dubis gets the groceries but Muse cooks them,
or if hey, I want this in and I want
that in and I don't want that in.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
If he had a hand in it, I think it
would have been Dubis. That means, yeah, being you know,
the hand Uh, it would have been to not start Jarry.
It would have been to as Bill said, let's had
the mistake. Let's let's not remind people, because.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I mean, it could just be that he lost his
job to this this Latvian kid. Because I remember texting JT.
Miller right when the Pens picked him up because they
were former teammates in Vancouver, and he said, he's a
pretty good goalie. He's confident, he has swagger, he's laughing.
So he's incredibly weird. But other than that, he's good.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
Well, he's goalie, so he's incredibly weird, right, But yeah,
that's he looked like he knew what he was doing
in there, and not necessarily the smoothest guy out there.
He's more a reaction type goal you know, I've watched
him play one game.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
He's going to say.
Speaker 9 (27:37):
He looked like he was more reactive last night than
that style they teach now where he just dropped down
and try to get big and let the puck hit you.
He looked like he was actually moving to make saves,
which I found refreshing because that's the way they used.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
To do it. What do you think of that ESPN production?
That's fine?
Speaker 9 (27:52):
Yeah, I mean I'm watching the game. I'm not really
looking at that kind of stuff. I love Sean McDonald,
That's what I'm I think he does any sport, and
he does it very well.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Agreed. I was a fan of his dad too.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Well, Yeah, a lot of people were a fan of
his dad. How different was that Penguin's line up last night?
Four rookies in the lineup. They've got five on the roster.
That's the most they've had since back in twenty three
to four, and thirteen guys who were in the opening
night line up last year were not this year for
various reasons. It is a different team. We'll see if
(28:29):
it's a better one. But an encouraging start last night
Penn's Three Rangers Nothing.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Can you remember when Will McDonald would do NBC NFL
On NBC, they would have him on as a panelist Bill.
He was basically looked like a guy from Boston who
got up with a hangover, and he would just sit
there and then they did and the thickest Boston accent
just give you a very low key assessment of what
was going on. But he was always like brutally honest
(28:55):
and really really smart and a great writer.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Too, great writer, Yeah, great writer, And that it looked
like the kind of writer I grew up idolizing a.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Goalie for a dartboard yeah acting yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, I remember this dude. I just looked him up. Yes.
Speaker 9 (29:12):
I always thought Oscar Madison was more realistic of portrayal
than a David Credit.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Penn's home opener'll be thirsty mess Yeah yes, yeah, against
the more than meets the guy, right, somebody you might
not take as seriously as you should after you read
the Brilliance book cover.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But man, he was he was old. I mean he
passed away in two thousand and three. Yeah, old Sean's
really good. When I was a kid, though, he was
like on every Sunday.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
Steelers getting ready for the Browns on Sunday at Actors
your state.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And this one's going to leave a mark. That defense
is real. You know.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
I was telling you guys after they lost to Seattle
that the sky was not falling. Now that they're three
and one, I'm telling you the path to the playoffs
is not paved with one easy game after another.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Despite the implosion of the North.
Speaker 9 (30:06):
It's still early, man, it's still And you guys know
the division, particularly the Browns. I mean, the Bengals appear
to be an anomaly. They're just not competitive.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
They have no offensive line. I don't understand what they
do there.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I mean, well, I think getting a forty year old
and mobile quarterback will fix it.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Well on their defense stinks, and I mean they did
better than this without Borrow before.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
This is weird, but it is weird. This Browning. Browning
has sucked.
Speaker 9 (30:33):
This Cleveland team could be winless and it could be
three and two, and it's played a couple of games
that came down to the end and.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
The one win they have is against Green Bay. A
lot of people are, you know, super Bowl team when they.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Were losing by ten in the fourth quarter and they
needed they needed a block field goal and a fumble
and or no pick return to the four yard line.
Brown's gonna play physical. Their defense is the real deal,
and they can run the ball. They're running back quin
Shawn Judkins out of Ohio State.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
He showed up.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Is what I thought Caleb Johnson was going to be
and may yet be. But hard runner, aggressive moves the
pile can get to the second level. Caleb at least
took a step forward to Van Dublin and Mike Toma
talked about him a little bit yesterday. Long season. You know,
I don't know when the next opportunity is going to come,
(31:26):
but it is going to come.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
But what like bothers me about it as they're talking
about in the same way he's talking about Roman Wilson,
which is like when he uses that encouraging coach speak
of like you know a light still on for him
and you know his story is not finished.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Et cetera. And it's like he that means his lights
off and the story's finished. Yeah, it means that they're like, eh,
he's on his last chance. But not Caleb.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I think Roman Wilson is definitely not what they were
hoping for.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well, Caleb still could be.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Roman Wilson is not better than Calvin Austin. And the
one thing that I think factors into the lack of
use for Roman Wilson is the amount of times when
they're in two wide receivers, it's Metcalf in Austin. They've
changed their philosophical method of deploying these guys.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Their personality.
Speaker 9 (32:19):
They don't have the different groups of two and different
groups of three as much as they used to. And
I think the reason they do that is they perceive
metcalf and Austin if you're going to get one on one,
which they rarely get, but if you're gonna get that,
either one of those guys can kill the defense and
Rogers can recognize it and Rogers can take advantage of it.
So they want those guys on the field. And then
(32:41):
when they go three and a lot, now Scronica gets
in a lot because of the run game.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
To me. This is all the butterfly effect of the
line not being good enough to start the season. I
know that there's room for improvement, but I mean that's
why you're coming out in jumbo sets and feature tight
ends and.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Do what you gotta do, right. They ran the ball against.
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Minnesota and Cleveland's gonna be really hard to run against.
But I can't wait to find out if they can
do it, because if they can run the.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Bay offensive lineman, how many of this week? Whatever it takes.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
A wise man once said, Yeah, that guy's name was
Chuck Noele. By the way, that was one of his catchphrases.
Whatever it takes. If they can run the ball against Cleveland,
then you know that offensive line is making significant strides.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Steelers Browns one o'clock Sunday here on DVE, Abby, you'll
have your news coming up at the top of the hour.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Another TV entity is jumping off the Bill Belichick bandwagon,
and Bob Ross might be saving PBS from the great beyond.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
On the way for you.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Almaro Martin from the Steeler Spanish broadcast, the host of
the podcast in Machilato.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
On that podcast, my great name I have not I
think it's in Spanish. Oh no, hobblah. He did duck
his head in while they were doing it in Doublin.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
He's happened in this country. And then they're like, He's like, oh,
we're broadcasting to a different country. Yeah, so funny. They
let anybody that was so funny. I'm just let it
wasn't worse right up now, I know I really couldn't
know that was I thought that was hilarious. PFT. Coming
(34:28):
up nine to fifteen, the first Mike Rand.
Speaker 9 (34:30):
The football is of course in full swing and the
puck has at last dropped on hockey. But if you're
into sports betting, the way I'm into sports betting today
is about baseball. Four games on tap, which means countless
opportunities to cash parlays and player performance props and winners
and totals, and of course live in game betting with
the bet Parks sports book and online casino app. There
(34:51):
is always another way to win with bet Parks, and
that includes all your favorite casino games, blackjack, craps and roulette,
and hundreds of hot online slots such a Peaky Blinders,
Huff and even more puff Cash Eruption and Divine fortunes.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
These are just a few of.
Speaker 9 (35:06):
The reasons why the Bett Park's sports book and online
casino up is the only one I recommend. If you
haven't gotten into the game yet with bet Parks, now's
the time new users can get up to one thousand

Michelle Michaels is your host for the all Request the
Electric Line Jed Noon.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Hey, Michelle, I got a good one for the look
great ideas on one oh two point five DV.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
It's football season, So how about not wasting another Sunday
feeling like you gotta clean the garage again? It's abby
and Pittsburgh Garage can add stunning June to back.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
From vacation, Joe Burrow's.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Injury absolutely decimates the Bengals chances. They decide if we
can get Joe Burrow back with a chance of getting
the playoffs, we got to do everything we can to
make that happen.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
And so let's trade.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Our sixth round, our fifth round pick next year for
a sixth round pick and a forty year old quarterback.
And that's what they did. So, I mean, look, give
Mike Brown a little bit of credit there. At least
he didn't just punt on the season, like I was saying, like,
what's the point, you know, maybe he did what.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It's it looks like they're making an effort here, but
it's not exactly like bringing in Kirk Cousins to make
it happen.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
I mean, I think Flacco can still do some things,
but not behind that line.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
I know the line is the scary part for him.
But he can throw a deep ball as good as
anybody in the game. But and they got two real
good receivers.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
That's why you wonder why you wouldn't have tried to
get maybe like a Jameis Winston in there.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Decision making I guess questionable, Yeah, probably like the thrown
it to the other guys. Maybe they've seen too many
interceptions already.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
They didn't even call the Giants for Russ or for Jamis.
This was they They had Flacco eyed up, and now
the Browns are on Dylan Gabriel Bailey ZAPPI activated from
the practice squad. It remains me seeing whether or not
he'll get the number two over she door.
Speaker 9 (37:21):
Yeah he zapi will I mean so I can't imagine
he wouldn't he payed.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
They won't put Shador Sanders at number two, that he's
still gonna be the number three.
Speaker 9 (37:31):
I don't think that's even a conversation. But you know,
I don't know what they're talking about. But if I
was making that call, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Now the Browns don't have either of the two quarterbacks
they spent their entire training camp working out. They're gone,
so offensively, the Browns should be able to be something
the Steelers can manage this Sunday stop the run, which
if they can stop the run Derek Harmon back, it
(37:59):
looks a lot better with Alex high Smith back on
the end and plays the run a little bit better.
The three linebacker package you were talking about, maybe you
get the best of both worlds there. I don't think
they're gonna put the ball in Dylan Gabriel's hands to
win the game.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
No a lot of play action boot he threw more
to running backs and tight ends against Minnesota than he
did receivers, and I thought it was interesting that the
most targeted receiver in the Vikings game was Isaiah Bond,
who's a rookie, and I'm wondering if that's because that's
the guy that Gabriel was getting reps with. You know,
(38:35):
he wasn't playing with the Ones, so he wasn't throwing
to Jerry Judy, who's a really good receiver and they
just can't get him activated.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Well, maybe that has something to do with the guy
that was open to for Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
I don't know, possibly, but Gabriel he was playing, I
don't want to say not to lose, but he's playing
safe and conservative against the Vikings, and the game allowed
them to do that. You know, they were either ahead
or not very far behind, and it was a one
score game throughout and there was there was not an
issue all. We got to open it up, we got
(39:08):
to throw it all over the yard, and Judkins was
he's just getting better every week.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Stefanski kind of mangled the end of that game. I
thought too clock management wise, Yes he did.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
He also called Dylan Gabrielle Tommy Callahan with how much
time he spent in college because.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
He was in college for like eight years, six years,
three schools.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
That's how they do it now. It's very strange to me.
Speaker 9 (39:34):
But he's I look at him as kind of like
good Russell Wilson two point zero. I think he can
throw the deep ball. They haven't let him do that yet.
But his Oregon tape was very good, and he's very smart,
and he's extremely Although it's funny he's fast. He's not
quite as mobile in the pros as he was in college.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
No, but I wonder why arch Manning isn't as mobile
in college as he was in high school.
Speaker 9 (39:59):
You know, the guy a little bigger, a little fact,
but he knows what he's doing back there. He doesn't
fall apart. I did think there were times in that
Vikings game. Early in the game he would pick his
spots and throw in the tight windows. And at the
end of the game, when they were heading the fourth quarter,
there were some one on ones that looked like he
was just throwing the ball away so it wouldn't get
(40:20):
picked off. It looked like he missed that badly, which
surprised me.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
Yeah, Sam, there were a couple of third downplays even
earlier in the game.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Like give you got a chance, man, Yeah, Like don't
don't just throw it out of bounce.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Tomlin is twenty six and six against rookie qbs at
home against the Browns twenty one straight regular season games.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
There was that playoff when the Browns.
Speaker 9 (40:45):
Had what was his last rookie QB game, Drake May alright, No,
he was rookie?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Was it?
Speaker 9 (40:53):
The guy with three names? Dorian Thompson, Robinson?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
He was a rookie? He wasn't. I didn't think he was. Was. Well,
they're fourteen and four after the break. I mean that
got Matt Canada fired after a bye and.
Speaker 9 (41:06):
I think this is a horrible scheduling disadvantage for the
Browns having to come back from London.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Yeah, and now the road games only Pittsburgh.
Speaker 9 (41:14):
It's not Seattle, but having to play a road division
game after a European game is that is no favorite of.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Cleveland great weather in all the sports back in action,
October is the best month period with the Major League
Baseball playoffs in full roar. Last night, the Yankees make
a huge comeback off the early the Aaron Judge home
run in the fourth.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
They were down six to one Randall after getting how's
the first two games?
Speaker 2 (41:42):
So they got the stud the kid coming up tonight, Schlittler,
he's going to add to Jace to his list. You
know people have been having trouble pronouncing his name. Yes,
they had, and they were kicking it around on the
post game last night.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Everything want to pronounced his last name? You cut first, Whitler. Oh, well,
he's the master Schlittler, Slittler. You know, now your turn, Hitler.
Let's go to a break. Get poppy him. You just
call him Cam Cam Now.
Speaker 2 (42:15):

Myron Cope back and forth about fuck here Brown?
Speaker 9 (42:26):
Who is that guy the cornerback who allounded Faker Brown?
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Thirty five? Fuck kid? Fuck you Brown? Is that the
guy that I am?
Speaker 3 (42:41):
The guy right? Thirty five?
Speaker 1 (42:43):
That's the Faker?
Speaker 3 (42:44):
You could just call him Brown?
Speaker 9 (42:50):
Billy always the professional trying to save Myron. Oh he's
by implying, he said faker. Yes, when we all heard
what he said a leaked it.
