Speaker 1 (00:01):
The more I started thinking about lasagna, I was like,
this might be one of mankind's truly greatest creations. Forget
democracy or the alphabet, or constitutional law or anything like that.
The look, if God comes back to Earth and looks
at what human kind has done, he's going to be
impressed with none of those things. But he'll see a
lasagna and say, what did you guys do there?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Like? Explain that to me?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
He's like, all right, I saw that you took that
wheat flour that I had out there, and what you
dried it up and ground it.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Up and everything like that? Way, how did you even
figure that out?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That's weird?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And then you took the white thing that comes out
of a chicken's ass or who ha or whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't even really know where it comes from, and
you mix that in.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay, you get noodles out of that whole thing. Okay,
what's that like lumpy stuff that's in this lasagna?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's cheese?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Where's that come from? The milk from a cow?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Like?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
How did how the milk from a cow is liquid?
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
What's this chunky? You just slash it around? It does that?
Speaker 6 (00:53):
I didn't even know.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It did that?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And then what's this savory protein stuff that's in the
that's the cow.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh, you guys are sick. Job Brandy Bellman and the
DV morning show Mister Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Jeff Conkle, He'll be joining us at six forty five today,
and also Alvaro Martin from Steelers Spanish broadcast, host of
the podcast in Machilato. He'll be joining us eight forty
five today. We met him in doubled He was great.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Oh, he's awesome.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
At nine to fifteen. PFT commenter will be joining us
nine to forty five Mark Madden. He'll be very glad
about the Penguins start last night getting a win over
their former coach Mike Sullivan in the garden. And I
think everyone said, if they're going to do it this year,
it's going to be because of Brazo and Lizotte. That's
the only way they're going to get it done.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Sounds like a spell.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Justin Brezzo had a couple of goals and us, Yeah,
I know. I mean, it's the first thing that comes
to mind, right, Blake, if you're a deviant Blake, I.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Can't tell on yourself. It's like the porn site.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
One boring site I don't know, I've never heard of that.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I remember our old producer who's now doing Gangbusters and
radio down in North Carolina already slack. He we were
talking one day about something like that on the air
and he was like, yeah, or like ex Hamster and
I'm like, what is that? And he's like, you don't
know about that? And I'm like, I've never heard of that.
(02:26):
This day, I still have not gone through it. And
he was like, Oh, it's it's just like every other
I'm like, sound like every other site, dude, and he's like, yeah,
he was. He was well versed. Yeah, he was a
kid in his twenties who grew up the top five
sites are No, he had a top five sites like
he was.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
He was, no dude.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
He he found two wives on the internet. He's he
was a man of the Internet. Like he was not
on any of those sites. No, we just met people
on yes, you know that. Yeah, okay, but he, dude,
he was always very life in the digital world for
(03:12):
him was not an odd thing.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It's that's his age group grew up in that.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
You know.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
In mind, it was kind of like e edating was
kind of taboo, and now it is the norm Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
I mean, I I remember I've been doing stand up
for so long that I remember headliners doing crowd work
and asking how people met, and it was absolutely never online.
To now it's almost never any other way, right, Yeah, yeah,
(03:46):
it's always hinge bumble, plenty of fish in the sea,
Farmers only dot com, Black people meet dot com.
Speaker 8 (03:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, e yikes, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, the the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Is, uh, you know, we started this off by saying
the Penn's won last night. You know, this is on
coming off of Justin Brezo, who I didn't even know
was on the team, and scores the first goal.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Are very new.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, I had a great game, the young kid,
Harrison Brunick. Yeah all right, Michae'll be in and talking
about that, and of course getting ready for Steelers and
the Browns, which took a whole new turn yesterday when
the Browns traded Joe Flacco to the Bengals in division
in the middle of the ear crazy Sanders moving up.
(04:43):
I know, I love the fact that ship to her.
Sanders is now one t J. Watts sack away from
taking the field this coming Sunday.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
It's nuts, how he's moved up the chart, not because
of his own development, because the Browns just.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
Keep dumping corn telling him that right, yeah you can't.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Well he probably wouldn't tell you anyways what his thoughts were.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, he move and shuts them out for you.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
But the Browns spent the entire preseason, the whole training
camp working with two quarterbacks, neither of whom are on
the team right now.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
It's hilarious. It's the funniest thing in the world.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
And Stefanski before the season started, at the beginning of
the offseason said, we're getting off the quarterback carousel. That's
it just filmed the quarterback carousel, and it goes round
and round and round.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Rixyback narrates that quarterback carousel. It looks like Joe Flacco
is going to Cincinnati. Dylly Gabriel's now the starter, because.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Don't they have to go out and maybe grab a
third quarterback.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
They just they elevated Bailey Zappi from the practice squad,
and Bailey Zappi has.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Starting NFL experience.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Yeah, so Bailey Zappi, a lot of people are thinking
they're just gonna leap him over Shador.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
So it's possible that you door won't even be number two.
I'm not saying that that's what it is, but it
is possible because they may not want to throw him
to the Lions aka the Steelers on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
If something goes wrong for Dylan Gabriel. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Huh hilarious, Although there is that paranoid part of me
that does not love Joe Flacco going to the Bengals.
A guy who a guy who has beaten us with
other teams, beat us last year with the with the Colts,
and they're playing Green Bay this week Cincinnati, and he
beat them last year with the brown or he.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Beat them this year with the Browns.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ten to six or ten to
seven or whatever it was.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Maybe he's just going to keep trading himself away. It's
a team that are playing the Pack. That might be
because that seems.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
To be the only way that you win.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That might be it.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
All right, So tons of stuff to come for you
this morning here, and Abbey's got your news kicking things off.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
What's up news this hour brought to you by your
neighborhood Ford Store. Less humid today, clouds and then some
sunshine it's going to be a high of just sixty eight.
Local story here, a dog accidentally started a house fire
in Pittsburgh's Point Breeze neighborhood Tuesday morning when it tried
to grab food on top of a stove. Firefighters responded
(07:33):
to the house fire on the one hundred block of
Connivor Road around seven to fifteen am. Dog was rescued
from the home and taken to an emergency veterinarian for
smoke inhalation, and no one else was inside the home
at the time. This comes on the heels of today
being National pet obesity awareness.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
All right, I don't know why that's a thing, but a.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Third of OBEs not obedient.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
See nope, No, there's lots of obese dogs.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Yeah, and this is just general pets. So fat cats,
fat dogs, we love them all.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
But a third of pet owners admit that their cat
or dog could stand to lose a little weight.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
And that is just the self reported stats.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
Thirty three percent of cat owners and thirty five percent
of dog owners say that their pet is overweight or obese.
Studies have found the real numbers might be more like
sixty percents, but obviously we only have ourselves to blame.
Fifty four percent of pet owners admit that they usually
give in when their pet begs for treats.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Most people show love to their animals by giving them food. Yeah,
and definitely don't understand that they're actually making the dogs
sick by over loving their pet.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, Like, you gotta be selective about what tr my
dog gets, any vegetable he wants, chopping vegetables I've thrown
out that he'll eat up that just snagged broccoli out
of the air, But like I keep it like bread products,
I keep away from him, anything.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
That's trying to keep his carbs down.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, no, because they don't process it the same way,
you know, vegetables and something that's like, you know, not
a gooey cheesy like you know, like a chicken parm
I wouldn't give him, you know what I mean. But
like I'm got a chicken breast, I'll get him a
little piece of that. Yeah, you know, because he kind
of he has a space in the kitchen far away
from me that he sits and I just toss it
like a frisbee across the room.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
And the entire time and.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It doesn't matter what it is, which is hilarious because
if you are cutting tofu, he will eat it at first.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
All right, I'll allow it. You know. He does like
the math in his head while it's in his snout,
you know.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
H But carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, he loves all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Any dog that I've had doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Care for it.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yeah, he's weirdo, but it doesn't care for veggies.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
But it makes it easy, you know what I mean,
because he does like that stuff. It's it's the people
who are like, oh, let him finish the meat loaf
like greavy and stuff, and they're like it just gets
to be too much for them after a while.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
They can't handle all the fat.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Doesn't it usually mirror the owner's habits, yes, very much.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So like if they're eating, throw the dog a bone.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
In this case, it might be a waffle fry, couple
waffle fries and nugget.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
And that's the stuff, like the fried stuff that.
Speaker 9 (10:35):
Yeah, it doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Well for dog.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Dogs, I mean it's crack. They can't ever go back.
I mean that's the one knock against you know. My
sister's dog, for her, she's like, this dog is ravenous.
He is a trash panda like we've never seen. He's
the nicest guy ever, but he's constantly looking for food.
(10:59):
Or if you're petting him, he's cool, but as soon
as you stop petting him, he's on the search for
food and he'll eat anything. I mean, his underpants, crayons,
a brown like, he'll find it.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Where is it?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
I had to watch my friend's lab last week and
I'm like sitting on the couch on the laptop and
I hear clag and I'm like, what the stove's going on?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
I go out.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He's doing what that dog did.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
He's on the stove trying to get food that's on
the back of the stove that he couldn't back to. Yeah,
and I'm like, dude, we too, and he's got reach.
It's you missed a thousand percent of the shots you
don't take, you know.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
I remember growing up my household dog. Her name was
Cool Breeze of Montana. My brother rescued her really want
but we just called her Breezy.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
But she ate eighteen meatballs one Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
My mom had just finished the meatballs, was letting them
cool on this plate.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Ate them all my eighteen fry, my best buddy in
high school. His brother had a dog that mirrored him.
He had a black or chocolate lab named Ben that
was exactly like his brother. Was just a big he
was Chet from weird Science, just a just a just
an idiot, you know. And they left one day and
left a crack in their basement or and they kept
(12:17):
the dog food in the basement. So he like wedges
the door open and goes downstairs and there's a forty
pound bag of dog food dog housed it.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
The whole thing.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Come home and it's like a cartoon. The dog looks
like a bag of forty pound dog just like, hey, well,
you guys.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Are got some weird stuff. You can see the entire outline.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
And I remember seeing him like two days later, and
I was like, oh my god, and they're like yeah.
I mean, he had to have thrown up a bunch
of times while eating all of that, but I think
it was have been over a long period of time,
but he crushed this whole huge dog about a bag
of dog food and turned into the bag of dog
food with legs.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
It sounds like they are within the next few years
working on an ozempic for pets, like a pet zempic.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I mean, why not, it's just so not necessary fat. Yeah,
but you don't have to give them the food. I
mean he can just like. But some animals are like that,
they will get to it.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
I know that I have a friend who has two cats,
one of them that is obsessed with food and has
gotten into her refrigerator before.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Oh my god, and just destroyed them.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Oh yeah, that's not good. Yeah, you getting a refrigerator.
Speaker 9 (13:37):
I don't know, smart cat, very good cat.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I mean it always like it.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
It starts maybe innocently enough, like for my my sister
and their family. They have all these young kids who
are walking around with a plate of nuggets and they're.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
A little lax with the top.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Oh yeah, like their hand range is exactly where his
mouth range is.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
So it's like a per faked scenarios.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
It's just, you know, a beautiful disaster and then he's
hooked and can't get enough. And I'm sure that there's
plenty of dogs like that out there.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
My dog dog, uh Jackson Rip, when I lived on
my 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 Gramby you
avenue a dude who walked past me with a sandwich
in his hand hanging whoa and Jackson literally just took
a bite of it and kept going guy, and I
was like, what happened? He's like, you dog ate my
(14:32):
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, I'll get you. Let
me see, this is our thing. You just got sandwich banded?
Speaker 11 (14:53):
All right?
Speaker 10 (14:54):
Here is a fun fact for the next time that
you fly, And by fun, I mean your palms will
be even.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
So.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
Do you know why planes dim the lights for takeoff
and landing to make it sexy? Most people do think
it's to make you more comfortable, but that is not
the main reason. The site simpleflying dot com just did
an article and they say that the real reason is
so that you'll be able to see better if there's
a crash.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
What I am so glad I did not know this
when we were on our way to Ireland.
Speaker 10 (15:26):
I guess so emergencies on planes are rare, but take
off and landing are the most likely times for something
to go wrong, and if anything does happen, there's a
good chance the plane will lose power. Dimming the lights
ahead of time lets your eyes adjust so you'll be
able to see better if everything suddenly goes dark. It
(15:47):
also makes the exit signs and emergency lighting more visible,
so the next time you fly and they dim the
lights for departure, they're not doing it to keep you comfortable.
They're doing it in case your plane falls out of
the sky.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Get to know. It's nice you get to see your
demise ful wharf.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
But well here's my question though, with the windows. They
want them all up at the end of the flights
a right the same Well, I don't know. Is it
is it that they just like to start you off
with all your windows up and they don't want to
have to go around and manually do it.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
I never understood that they're like, get those windows up.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I think they they mainly only need you to have
them up in the exit rows. I don't know if
they make everybody put their windows up on landing.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Really, I don't know, okay, because I kind.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Of feel like I have slept all the way through
a landing before.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And woken up and the you know, the window was closed.
But I might be wrong about that.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
I think it's just the exit rows and it's just
so you know, hey, if we grass you can see
when you open the door, yeah, what you're going to
jump onto?
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Wing used to be which.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
We were in an exit row, and I remember each
time they had to tell Bill, just by the way,
you're right near the door, and it's gonna make a
really weird noise.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
And that's normal.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And it's gonna sound like this.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Hell.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
It was kind of terrifying, but in the Irish accent,
nothing really does sound that terrifying.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You know, that lilt is just so comforting.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
H Finally, here Dolly Parton sister Freda has fans on edge.
She revealed that she was quote all up all night
praying for my sister Dolly. Frida went on to say,
many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately,
and I believe in the power of prayer. I have
been led to ask all of the world that loves
her to be prayer warriors and pray for me. Fans
have been plotting the comments with prayers and well wishes
for Dolly because she means so much to so many people.
(17:51):
This comes a little over a week from when Dolly
postponed her Las Vegas residency because she said that she
was dealing with health challenges. Everyone's obviously hoping that Dolly
gets rest that she needs and comes back stronger than ever.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I know, guy, you knows a guy, and it's kidney stones.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Ooh, but still damn.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And she should be okay.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
I don't want Dolly deal with nothing, just saying you
think her kidney stones are rhyme stones.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
I bet a diamond.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
This is a little thing. God bless me with that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Here's a diamond in my eathroom.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Let's human today, clouds and then some sunshine. It's a
high of sixty eight on the way.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Mike pursuita with your sports here and the Pens get
a really cool win in the garden last night. And
I shut out of Mike Sullivan's Rangers.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
They played the wrong way.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Steelers is getting set for the Browns this coming Sunday,
a one o'clock kickoff at Akrosher Stadium.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Pfty comment are nine to fifteen today.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
DV has your No Destruction Rock and Roll left Ennym
at three pm. Michelle michaels And and Chad Dyson bring
you Workforce Commercial three hours every weekday on DV.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, Dublin. Mike pursuita Ladies
and gentlemen with your sports. Yeah, when'd you guys get home?
He swam back the hell of yesterday? Yeah. Now, look,
you took a well deserved need to get ready for
the long run here. It was not just the teams
bye week, it was media bye week too.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
To a degree. Still had my hand in a few
cookie jars, but nice to be back in this one.
Sports is not brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance. It
took until the final minute of the first period last
night at Madison Square Garden for the new look Penguins
to get what turned out to be the only goal
they'd need for openers.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
The Rangers have it defended that very well, and if
you look at the way.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The Penguins have played, I'd say they've been the clicker team.
They've been better around the floor, and they star right
off the face of Justin Brows.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
His first goal as a Penguin, who.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Anthony Mantha retrieved the puck.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
With thirty two.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Seconds to go in the first period.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Justin Brazo is first the two on the night. He'd
find the empty net in the third period, as would
Blake Lezott. Three nothing Penguins over the Rangers. That had
to piss Selly off. Oh, now they play in front
of the net, and then his team still doesn't defend
the front of the net. It turns out if you
leave a guy wide open in the in the slot area,
(20:33):
even uh shah Arkin has a hard time. But even
Justin Brazo can score.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
I mean, still impressive, like some some nifty mits on
the guy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh and just the kind of performance. That's how they're
gonna have to win. It wasn't necessarily exciting, but they're
gonna have to win shift by shift and to borrow
the Sully line. Play the right way, keep your nose
on the right side of the puck. They just they
played a pretty fundamentally sound game with effort and look
what can happen.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
That's all you had to do to get them to
play the right way. Leave.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah. The thing I loved about this archers se Lobs
was the starting goaltender, not Tristan Jarry. Yeah, and yeah,
they had a bunch of new guys in the lineup.
They had a bunch of rookies in the lineup. They're
two teenagers in the lineup. But I'm looking at that
as a statement from the new coach, Dan Muse And
I don't know if he did that under orders or not,
but to not play Jarry, yes, like if you want,
(21:27):
I mean, this team is still I don't know if
you guys go watched the open or not, or if
you watch the game at all. But Sean McDonough talked
about the Penguins being a team that was sort of
in transition because they're trying to turn the page. But
they won't turn it because they're keeping the old band around.
But they're trying to infuse some youth and change things.
(21:50):
Changing the goalie, you can, that changes things, right, And
we've all seen Tristan Jarr at least I've seen enough
of them. I don't want to speak for everybody else,
but no, I have to is that going nowhere? So
try this kid. This kid is an interesting study. He
does not much experience, but he's played in the playoffs
in the NHL before he won the Calder Cup in
(22:10):
the AHL last year. Why not until Murosof is ready.
Who's the guy they think is going to be the future.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
They're already calling it an artie party when he wins.
I mean, you know, to start your career off with
a new team with a shutout is pretty damn impressive.
You're gonna win a lot of games if you don't
let the other team score.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And you know, he was good but not great. Right,
They didn't make him make six saves in a row.
The puck wasn't in the Penguins end for five minutes
at a time.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
It was a fairly clean game. He stopped the pucks
he was supposed to stop, yep, And they played well
in front of him, including the first shot of their body.
Yeah right, kept that out.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
There was all cream cheese after that crystal tag plus three.
I hoped somebody saved the ceremonial puck for him. Hey,
look the actually gotending. Who knows fifty eight might be
in the plus category. They gave him a pucket said
plus three on it. He said, you spelled minus wrong.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
And you put one too many dashes on damp.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
That was actually fun to watch. Hockey season kind of smuck.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Up all me.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
I got, I got a period in the second period
and I fell asleep.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But Pennza will have their home opener on Thursday night
against the New York Islanders. Steelers getting ready for the
Browns on Sunday at Act for Sure Stadium. Little AFC
North football back in Pittsburgh. You know that's got Mike
Tomlin's attention.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
You know, I just love being in big time competition.
I'm a competition junkie, and I just think the divisional
component of how our schedules are aligned these days in
today's game, the intimacy specifically of the AFC North, the
stability within the programs.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Man.
Speaker 11 (23:50):
You know, Kevin's been in Cleveland for a number of years.
I've known Jim Schwartz for a long time. I think
that that intimacy, that knowledge creates competition. I think the
geographic proximity creates a cool environment. There's a lot to
be excited about relative to this game this weekend in
AFC nor football.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And I was watching the news with my wife last
night that Cliff came on, and she said, why does
he have to say geographic proximity. We can't just say
Cleveland and Pittsburgh are clubs because well, this is good.
This is that is his armor, this is how he
does it. It's linguistic armor. Word salad is at the
(24:31):
new cliche.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Well, I mean yeah, but he did. There is a
method behind the madness. You know, if you constantly get
have people on like having to listen like that and
decipher they're on their heels a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
What's the saying If you can't dazzle them with brilliance,
baffle them with rights. He is great at that. He baffles.
Alex high Smith and Joey Porter are guys that Tomlins
quote really couraged about in terms of their participation. Now,
how much high Smith would play, Thomas said, that's going
(25:06):
to depend on his conditioning and what his practice week
looks like. He's been out a while. Nick Krbig's been
really good. There's been a lot of talk about he's
not going anywhere in terms of his use because he's
been so effective. But they do have a three outside
linebacker package, and I think.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
You're going to have to see that, right, Dylan Gabriel's
not going to drop back thirty times.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
If you want to ease Smith back into it, that
would be one way to do it, Tom, and also
really encouraged about Jalen Warren, Calvin Austin's shoulder and Jalen
Ramsey hamstring are the guys to keep an eye on
this week. Tomlins said he is quote encouraged about the
potential of those guys, which were you surprised me because
(25:47):
it means nothing. Okay, it means absolutely nothing.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
He made it sound like there was the potential for
them to play this weekend and there is none.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Is that just straight gamesmanship because like all the reporting
initially was that Ramsey had the same thing JPJ had,
which means he's gonna miss a month.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, and it is in line with how Tom Latreet's
injured guys. He doesn't say Joe Blow will be back
in three weeks because then that tells Joe Blow that
he's got three weeks. Yeah, but it's once these guys
doing everything they can to rehab and maybe you get
back quickly.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
He even mentioned that those guys were super aggressive in the.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Bye week, but I wouldn't expect to see the one
of them. But quite honestly, it's Hey, it's the NFL.
You don't take anything for granted and I think this
Cleveland game is going to be a struggle. I think
one score game. I think it's winnable. I think it's
going to be a struggle. The Bengals have not been
competitive since Burrow went out at all. So you got
a chance here to get through the next couple and
(26:46):
if you can do it without these two guys and
not have that be anything long term, maybe you roll
those dice.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I mean, I think if the Vikings were healthy, they
would have had a much easier time with the Browns.
But the Browns giving a team like that fits I
think things are a lot better than the record.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, I think they're pretty good.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
And I think it was a good win for the
Steelers despite all the injuries.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I mean London, yeah, or Dublin. All the wins are
good because they count. You know, look at the New England.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Anybody's going crazy about Winds.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Seattle loss doesn't look so bad because I think that
they're really good squad.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Browns are falling.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Getting so that doesn't bother me.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
If we had a tight game with a crappy team
in Week one, because that's Openers are like that.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
They had all the hope in their eyes they did.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
They had the game in their hands.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
The weird thing about that, though, is where you would
have expected the Steelers to be sluggish would have been
on offense, where they had taken no snaps with the starters,
you know, and the defense was the one that we
were being told was going to be, you know, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
And they gave Justin Fields his best game of the year.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And he hasn't.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
He's got a lot of stats in mop up time.
He had a really nice run too. Well, they give
those to you when you're up by thirty. You kind
of play back and you can take off if you're
a mobile quarterback. But his numbers don't look that bad
when you look at Justin Fields, he's just got a
ton of padding. It's all doesn't matter time Ben did
(28:13):
a lot of that in those crappy years.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Deal for five kind of stands out with Fields. Yeah,
that's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
I think organizationally too, like the Steelers deserve a lot
of credit because a Rod won five games with that
team last year. He comes here, he's already almost he's
almost there. Yeah, and we're five games end of the season.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I think one thing that's been confirmed to this point.
There was a lot of speculation about Rogers. He came
back last year, but he wasn't really back until the
back end of the season, you know, coming off that
injury took him a long time too.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
But they lost a lot of games that maybe they
shouldn't have. And this year, you know, Field started four
and two, he's over. They have yet to get their win. Like,
I think there's something to say for that. I mean,
it's not like you put the Steeler helmet on and
you win, but organizationally that the Steelers are.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Just light yours head of the Jets, as is everybody
else there. But Rogers has been really good. Was no
question going for And I don't think I don't think
you evaluate him on stats. You evaluate him on how
he's playing and how they're playing and what he's able
to do. And well, we set all along Mike.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
The biggest concern with him can't will he get through October?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Like you know, he's the only guy still upright right
now in the whole division.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
I know, Well, that's because he takes one point two
seconds to throw the ball, chuck and duck.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
As long as you chuck it to the right spot.
It could work. Baseball playoffs. Yesterday, Seattle beat Detroit eight
to four. Mariners up two games to one in that series,
and the Yankees were dead and buried, or so it looked.
Down six to one against the Jay's already down two
games to none in the series. The Bronx Bombers stormback
(29:56):
and win nine six.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Oh my god, I had no idea they won that game.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I thought, if that was done, Judge had a three
run thinger the tight and the bottom of the four
off the foul pole.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He needed that desperately.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Oh my god, that's just them.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Start spreading the news. Four games today, Mariners Tigers at
three o'clock. Brewers can close out the Cubs in three.
Starting at five oh eight, Jason Yankees again at seven
o eight. Toronto's got a bullpen game lined up today
against Schlittler, who's been lights hot. Yeah, yes, maybe that

Speaker 3 (34:15):
What's going on in Huh? We got problems? What's that
we got?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
We got the getting on the bus problems?
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Damn.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Younger one yesterday goes out, gets ready for school, which
is always usually a fight, gets out the door. I'm
finishing my coffee, as you know. You know when the
last kid gets out the door, You're like, ah, I
can have a sip of coffee, I can watch the news,
maybe take a cha.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yes, right, just just basking your glory of that.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Fifteen fifteen minutes and he comes back in the door
and he's a little emotional.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
He says, I'm not going to school, and.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
So then that kicks off an hour and a half
therapy slash consoling slash fact finding session that results. I
eventually calmed him down and everything like that, and we
walked to school just it's not that far, so he went.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
But then it just came back to me.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
You now, how your parents are always just like wait
till you have kids, so they do what you put
me through.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I did the.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Exact same real thing, and then I realized my dad
did the exact same thing, Like, well that just is
pretty much ninety percent of America.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
But I remember his father. I think it was like
first grade.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I was going to a new school and it was
like first through sixth grade or something like that. And
I remember my mom sort of like you know, said okay,
you know, there's the bus stop down there, and the
bus pulled up and the whole back half of was
like kids with like dirty teenage mustaches.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
And I was like, I'm sorry, are you sending me
to prison?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
And then wouldn't go, and I wouldn't go for like
a week, and on like the Friday, like the fifth
day of me stranging like holding up to the door
jams like my fingernails like being clawed into the thing.
I remember my mom like at her wits end, like
starting to cry, like but just like she she had enough.
And then then I was like ooh, like maybe I'm
being a little bit of a piece of crap here.
(36:13):
And then so but I'm talking to my dad about this,
and he goes, I did the same thing. He went
to Saint Gabriel's in Baldwin, which was a Catholic school,
and his house was right across the school, so he said,
he goes, what I would do is I would go
to school and then immediately leave and go down to
the baseball field and play baseball. He goes, I had
to have the cops come get me like nineteen times
when I was in first grade.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Sea officers, yeah, the truancy officers.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I mean, I know there's a lot of motions like
in school, but like did that ever did you ever
have like a patch where you're like, nah, not, it's
not happening, not gonna go.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
I was terrified not to get on the bus. I mean,
I was terrified of the bus. But then my mom
had weapons at the house, like any kitchen utensil was available,
So I was on the bus kill bill.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Literally.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I think part of is two, like, you know this
this is my younger son, but my older son's going
to middle school, which is like he just went from
elementary school to middle school, and I remember middle school
being that time. I don't know why, it was like
more harrowing than going to college more harrowing than going
to high school. All the elementary schools get mixed together,
so your friend groups all kind of get smushed around
(37:19):
and and busted up and everything like that. And uh, yeah,
I remember having a rough time with with middle school too.
Speaker 9 (37:26):
Were you able to lock in with your son? Like
why because you went through it? Yeah, like the fact
where that comes from?
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Results, I don't know if I locked in where it
came from, because he's I don't know why, Like he's
already like a Vietnam vet, Like he's like, I don't
want to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
About it with others, but yeah, if.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
He has a bad dream or someone like, what's your
bad dreams? Like, he's like, I'd rather not say. I'd
really rather not reiterate what happened to verse again, whatever
the joker did to me and my stuffed animals in
my dream, I don't want to anyone to reiterate that
at all.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
But no, Like I think actually what helped him is
when I.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Told when we were walking to school, I was like,
Daddy was kind of a sissy, like.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
You are like it.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
For some reason, Yeah, this is your birthright.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Like he he totally like and then like then the
next day he was totally fine. But I think sometimes
I don't know why, but like, well, I guess.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I do know why.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
He he was embarrassed and sort of felt like maybe
his emotions got the best of them, and just knowing that,
all right, some other people had that and Dad had that,
and he told me like that's that he did that,
Like okay, like that's not so bad.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
So I think we're back on the right track. But
was there an inciting incident though? Did you get to
the bottom of that? Was there something specific that no?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Just And that's the thing is, like I think kids
are like sort of almost trained to not or think
that they don't like school, But when you think about it,
you're like, all your friends are there, Like what else
were you gonna do? Whenever my kids are home sick,
they they they're insufferable, like they they there's there's not
enough netflix that they could possibly pump into their body
that would absolutely entertain them like school does. But they
(39:05):
had this idea that I don't know if it's the
pressure of school or whatever, that they just don't want
to go. So as far as we could tell, there
was no inciting incident. I think it was just emotions
got the better of them. And then there's nothing worse
than being emotional walking to the bus stop full of
like six friends and just like, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (39:21):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
We have a note, Yeah, well we have we have
a we have a little bit of a Nebby Nebby
neighbor girl. She's our she's our family friend and everything
like that. But she noticed that he wasn't on the
bus that day, and so when they got off the bus,
she started grilling him, why aren't you on the bus?
And he started lying in front of her and was
asking me to be like his his accomplice. He's like,
(39:45):
I forgot my folder, and I go, you didn't forget
your folder? And he just looks at me and starts nodding.
He goes, I forgot my folder. And I was like,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you forgot your folder. And she's like,
you didn't forget your folder. You know, she already sees
like through the whole thing, but get to the bottom
of this, Yes, exactly, that exact kind of thing. But
I think we'll be okay today after after everything. But
(40:06):
it was just that, it was it was a rough
that's a rough way to start the morning of an
hour and a half sojourn to to and from an
elementary school trying to deal with that. Again, job well
done by you. I mean, that's a parenting win. Yeah,
but I also started thinking. I was like, I think
the only reason I'm able to parent effectively is because
my job allows me to. Like, if I had to,
(40:27):
I own my own business, so I can kind of
take that time to do that. If I had to
get to work or face disciplinary messages, I would be
booting him out the door with a steel toe shoe,
be like.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
I gotta get out the jobs, suck it up, and
he's got your news next.
Speaker 10 (40:43):
All right, we knew somebody was gonna skip Halloween and
go right to Christmas. Unfortunately it's the city of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 14 (40:49):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by your neighborhood Ford Store and Steeler's Pro Shop.
Get it direct from the team at shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom.
Speaker 15 (41:00):
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media yesterday for
his weekly press conference ahead of this weekend's upcoming matchup
against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 16 (41:07):
The team's first AFC North matchup of the season.
Speaker 15 (41:09):
When addressing the injuries the Steelers are dealing with, Mike
Tomlin said the arrow is pointing in the right direction
when it comes to Alex Higsmith.
Speaker 16 (41:15):
And Joey Porter Junior's participation Sunday.
Speaker 15 (41:18):
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Calvin Austin are a
different story, however, as Mike Tomlin said they will begin
the week in a limited capacity if Calvin Austin is
indeed unable to go Sunday against the Browns. Coach Tomlin
said that his duties will be deputized by increased workloads
for both Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson. Miller, a seven
year vet who has just won target this year as
he still searches for his first.
Speaker 16 (41:38):
Reception of the season.
Speaker 15 (41:39):
Once upon a Time, played a crucial role in Tampa
Bay's offense, where he put up five hundred yards on
the Bucks twenty twenty Super Bowl winning team.
Speaker 16 (41:46):
Roman Wilson was the Steelers.
Speaker 15 (41:47):
Third round pick in the twenty twenty four draft, but
missed his rookie season due to injury. It has been
a struggle so far this year for Roman to see
the field, as he only has one catch for seven
yards on just two targets. But the misfortune for Calvin
Austin might end up being the opportun tunity for romand Wilson.
Speaker 16 (42:01):
To make his splash on Todd. I've form with the Steelers,
report
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Ford
The more I started thinking about lasagna, I was like,
this might be one of mankind's truly greatest creations. Forget
democracy or the alphabet, or constitutional law or anything like that.
The look, if God comes back to Earth and looks
at what human kind has done, he's going to be
impressed with none of those things. But he'll see a
lasagna and say, what did you guys do there?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Like? Explain that to me?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
He's like, all right, I saw that you took that
wheat flour that I had out there, and what you
dried it up and ground it.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Up and everything like that? Way, how did you even
figure that out?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That's weird?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
And then you took the white thing that comes out
of a chicken's ass or who ha or whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I don't even really know where it comes from, and
you mix that in.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Okay, you get noodles out of that whole thing. Okay,
what's that like lumpy stuff that's in this lasagna?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That's cheese?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Where's that come from? The milk from a cow?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Like?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
How did how the milk from a cow is liquid?
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
What's this chunky? You just slash it around? It does that?
Speaker 6 (00:53):
I didn't even know.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It did that?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And then what's this savory protein stuff that's in the
that's the cow.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh, you guys are sick. Job Brandy Bellman and the
DV morning show Mister Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Jeff Conkle, He'll be joining us at six forty five today,
and also Alvaro Martin from Steelers Spanish broadcast, host of
the podcast in Machilato. He'll be joining us eight forty
five today. We met him in doubled He was great.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Oh, he's awesome.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
At nine to fifteen. PFT commenter will be joining us
nine to forty five Mark Madden. He'll be very glad
about the Penguins start last night getting a win over
their former coach Mike Sullivan in the garden. And I
think everyone said, if they're going to do it this year,
it's going to be because of Brazo and Lizotte. That's
the only way they're going to get it done.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Sounds like a spell.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Justin Brezzo had a couple of goals and us, Yeah,
I know. I mean, it's the first thing that comes
to mind, right, Blake, if you're a deviant Blake, I.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Can't tell on yourself. It's like the porn site.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
One boring site I don't know, I've never heard of that.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I remember our old producer who's now doing Gangbusters and
radio down in North Carolina already slack. He we were
talking one day about something like that on the air
and he was like, yeah, or like ex Hamster and
I'm like, what is that? And he's like, you don't
know about that? And I'm like, I've never heard of that.
(02:26):
This day, I still have not gone through it. And
he was like, Oh, it's it's just like every other
I'm like, sound like every other site, dude, and he's like, yeah,
he was. He was well versed. Yeah, he was a
kid in his twenties who grew up the top five
sites are No, he had a top five sites like
he was.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
He was, no dude.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
He he found two wives on the internet. He's he
was a man of the Internet. Like he was not
on any of those sites. No, we just met people
on yes, you know that. Yeah, okay, but he, dude,
he was always very life in the digital world for
(03:12):
him was not an odd thing.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It's that's his age group grew up in that.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
You know.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
In mind, it was kind of like e edating was
kind of taboo, and now it is the norm Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
I mean, I I remember I've been doing stand up
for so long that I remember headliners doing crowd work
and asking how people met, and it was absolutely never online.
To now it's almost never any other way, right, Yeah, yeah,
(03:46):
it's always hinge bumble, plenty of fish in the sea,
Farmers only dot com, Black people meet dot com.
Speaker 8 (03:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, e yikes, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, the the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Is, uh, you know, we started this off by saying
the Penn's won last night. You know, this is on
coming off of Justin Brezo, who I didn't even know
was on the team, and scores the first goal.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Are very new.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, I had a great game, the young kid,
Harrison Brunick. Yeah all right, Michae'll be in and talking
about that, and of course getting ready for Steelers and
the Browns, which took a whole new turn yesterday when
the Browns traded Joe Flacco to the Bengals in division
in the middle of the ear crazy Sanders moving up.
(04:43):
I know, I love the fact that ship to her.
Sanders is now one t J. Watts sack away from
taking the field this coming Sunday.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
It's nuts, how he's moved up the chart, not because
of his own development, because the Browns just.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
Keep dumping corn telling him that right, yeah you can't.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Well he probably wouldn't tell you anyways what his thoughts were.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, he move and shuts them out for you.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
But the Browns spent the entire preseason, the whole training
camp working with two quarterbacks, neither of whom are on
the team right now.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
It's hilarious. It's the funniest thing in the world.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
And Stefanski before the season started, at the beginning of
the offseason said, we're getting off the quarterback carousel. That's
it just filmed the quarterback carousel, and it goes round
and round and round.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Rixyback narrates that quarterback carousel. It looks like Joe Flacco
is going to Cincinnati. Dylly Gabriel's now the starter, because.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Don't they have to go out and maybe grab a
third quarterback.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
They just they elevated Bailey Zappi from the practice squad,
and Bailey Zappi has.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Starting NFL experience.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Yeah, so Bailey Zappi, a lot of people are thinking
they're just gonna leap him over Shador.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
So it's possible that you door won't even be number two.
I'm not saying that that's what it is, but it
is possible because they may not want to throw him
to the Lions aka the Steelers on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
If something goes wrong for Dylan Gabriel. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Huh hilarious, Although there is that paranoid part of me
that does not love Joe Flacco going to the Bengals.
A guy who a guy who has beaten us with
other teams, beat us last year with the with the Colts,
and they're playing Green Bay this week Cincinnati, and he
beat them last year with the brown or he.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Beat them this year with the Browns.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ten to six or ten to
seven or whatever it was.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Maybe he's just going to keep trading himself away. It's
a team that are playing the Pack. That might be
because that seems.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
To be the only way that you win.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That might be it.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
All right, So tons of stuff to come for you
this morning here, and Abbey's got your news kicking things off.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
What's up news this hour brought to you by your
neighborhood Ford Store. Less humid today, clouds and then some
sunshine it's going to be a high of just sixty eight.
Local story here, a dog accidentally started a house fire
in Pittsburgh's Point Breeze neighborhood Tuesday morning when it tried
to grab food on top of a stove. Firefighters responded
(07:33):
to the house fire on the one hundred block of
Connivor Road around seven to fifteen am. Dog was rescued
from the home and taken to an emergency veterinarian for
smoke inhalation, and no one else was inside the home
at the time. This comes on the heels of today
being National pet obesity awareness.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
All right, I don't know why that's a thing, but a.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Third of OBEs not obedient.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
See nope, No, there's lots of obese dogs.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
Yeah, and this is just general pets. So fat cats,
fat dogs, we love them all.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
But a third of pet owners admit that their cat
or dog could stand to lose a little weight.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
And that is just the self reported stats.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
Thirty three percent of cat owners and thirty five percent
of dog owners say that their pet is overweight or obese.
Studies have found the real numbers might be more like
sixty percents, but obviously we only have ourselves to blame.
Fifty four percent of pet owners admit that they usually
give in when their pet begs for treats.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Most people show love to their animals by giving them food. Yeah,
and definitely don't understand that they're actually making the dogs
sick by over loving their pet.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, Like, you gotta be selective about what tr my
dog gets, any vegetable he wants, chopping vegetables I've thrown
out that he'll eat up that just snagged broccoli out
of the air, But like I keep it like bread products,
I keep away from him, anything.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
That's trying to keep his carbs down.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, no, because they don't process it the same way,
you know, vegetables and something that's like, you know, not
a gooey cheesy like you know, like a chicken parm
I wouldn't give him, you know what I mean. But
like I'm got a chicken breast, I'll get him a
little piece of that. Yeah, you know, because he kind
of he has a space in the kitchen far away
from me that he sits and I just toss it
like a frisbee across the room.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
And the entire time and.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It doesn't matter what it is, which is hilarious because
if you are cutting tofu, he will eat it at first.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
All right, I'll allow it. You know. He does like
the math in his head while it's in his snout,
you know.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
H But carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, he loves all that stuff.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Any dog that I've had doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Care for it.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yeah, he's weirdo, but it doesn't care for veggies.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
But it makes it easy, you know what I mean,
because he does like that stuff. It's it's the people
who are like, oh, let him finish the meat loaf
like greavy and stuff, and they're like it just gets
to be too much for them after a while.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
They can't handle all the fat.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
Doesn't it usually mirror the owner's habits, yes, very much.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
So like if they're eating, throw the dog a bone.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
In this case, it might be a waffle fry, couple
waffle fries and nugget.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
And that's the stuff, like the fried stuff that.
Speaker 9 (10:35):
Yeah, it doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Well for dog.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Dogs, I mean it's crack. They can't ever go back.
I mean that's the one knock against you know. My
sister's dog, for her, she's like, this dog is ravenous.
He is a trash panda like we've never seen. He's
the nicest guy ever, but he's constantly looking for food.
(10:59):
Or if you're petting him, he's cool, but as soon
as you stop petting him, he's on the search for
food and he'll eat anything. I mean, his underpants, crayons,
a brown like, he'll find it.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Where is it?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
I had to watch my friend's lab last week and
I'm like sitting on the couch on the laptop and
I hear clag and I'm like, what the stove's going on?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
I go out.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He's doing what that dog did.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
He's on the stove trying to get food that's on
the back of the stove that he couldn't back to. Yeah,
and I'm like, dude, we too, and he's got reach.
It's you missed a thousand percent of the shots you
don't take, you know.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
I remember growing up my household dog. Her name was
Cool Breeze of Montana. My brother rescued her really want
but we just called her Breezy.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
But she ate eighteen meatballs one Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
My mom had just finished the meatballs, was letting them
cool on this plate.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Ate them all my eighteen fry, my best buddy in
high school. His brother had a dog that mirrored him.
He had a black or chocolate lab named Ben that
was exactly like his brother. Was just a big he
was Chet from weird Science, just a just a just
an idiot, you know. And they left one day and
left a crack in their basement or and they kept
(12:17):
the dog food in the basement. So he like wedges
the door open and goes downstairs and there's a forty
pound bag of dog food dog housed it.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
The whole thing.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Come home and it's like a cartoon. The dog looks
like a bag of forty pound dog just like, hey, well,
you guys.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Are got some weird stuff. You can see the entire outline.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
And I remember seeing him like two days later, and
I was like, oh my god, and they're like yeah.
I mean, he had to have thrown up a bunch
of times while eating all of that, but I think
it was have been over a long period of time,
but he crushed this whole huge dog about a bag
of dog food and turned into the bag of dog
food with legs.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
It sounds like they are within the next few years
working on an ozempic for pets, like a pet zempic.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I mean, why not, it's just so not necessary fat. Yeah,
but you don't have to give them the food. I
mean he can just like. But some animals are like that,
they will get to it.
Speaker 10 (13:22):
I know that I have a friend who has two cats,
one of them that is obsessed with food and has
gotten into her refrigerator before.
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Oh my god, and just destroyed them.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Oh yeah, that's not good. Yeah, you getting a refrigerator.
Speaker 9 (13:37):
I don't know, smart cat, very good cat.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I mean it always like it.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
It starts maybe innocently enough, like for my my sister
and their family. They have all these young kids who
are walking around with a plate of nuggets and they're.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
A little lax with the top.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Oh yeah, like their hand range is exactly where his
mouth range is.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
So it's like a per faked scenarios.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
It's just, you know, a beautiful disaster and then he's
hooked and can't get enough. And I'm sure that there's
plenty of dogs like that out there.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
My dog dog, uh Jackson Rip, when I lived on
my 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 Gramby you
avenue a dude who walked past me with a sandwich
in his hand hanging whoa and Jackson literally just took
a bite of it and kept going guy, and I
was like, what happened? He's like, you dog ate my
(14:32):
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, I'll get you. Let
me see, this is our thing. You just got sandwich banded?
Speaker 11 (14:53):
All right?
Speaker 10 (14:54):
Here is a fun fact for the next time that
you fly, And by fun, I mean your palms will
be even.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
So.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
Do you know why planes dim the lights for takeoff
and landing to make it sexy? Most people do think
it's to make you more comfortable, but that is not
the main reason. The site simpleflying dot com just did
an article and they say that the real reason is
so that you'll be able to see better if there's
a crash.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
What I am so glad I did not know this
when we were on our way to Ireland.
Speaker 10 (15:26):
I guess so emergencies on planes are rare, but take
off and landing are the most likely times for something
to go wrong, and if anything does happen, there's a
good chance the plane will lose power. Dimming the lights
ahead of time lets your eyes adjust so you'll be
able to see better if everything suddenly goes dark. It
(15:47):
also makes the exit signs and emergency lighting more visible,
so the next time you fly and they dim the
lights for departure, they're not doing it to keep you comfortable.
They're doing it in case your plane falls out of
the sky.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Get to know. It's nice you get to see your
demise ful wharf.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
But well here's my question though, with the windows. They
want them all up at the end of the flights
a right the same Well, I don't know. Is it
is it that they just like to start you off
with all your windows up and they don't want to
have to go around and manually do it.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
I never understood that they're like, get those windows up.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
I think they they mainly only need you to have
them up in the exit rows. I don't know if
they make everybody put their windows up on landing.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Really, I don't know, okay, because I kind.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Of feel like I have slept all the way through
a landing before.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And woken up and the you know, the window was closed.
But I might be wrong about that.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
I think it's just the exit rows and it's just
so you know, hey, if we grass you can see
when you open the door, yeah, what you're going to
jump onto?
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Wing used to be which.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
We were in an exit row, and I remember each
time they had to tell Bill, just by the way,
you're right near the door, and it's gonna make a
really weird noise.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
And that's normal.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
And it's gonna sound like this.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Hell.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
It was kind of terrifying, but in the Irish accent,
nothing really does sound that terrifying.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You know, that lilt is just so comforting.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
H Finally, here Dolly Parton sister Freda has fans on edge.
She revealed that she was quote all up all night
praying for my sister Dolly. Frida went on to say,
many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately,
and I believe in the power of prayer. I have
been led to ask all of the world that loves
her to be prayer warriors and pray for me. Fans
have been plotting the comments with prayers and well wishes
for Dolly because she means so much to so many people.
(17:51):
This comes a little over a week from when Dolly
postponed her Las Vegas residency because she said that she
was dealing with health challenges. Everyone's obviously hoping that Dolly
gets rest that she needs and comes back stronger than ever.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I know, guy, you knows a guy, and it's kidney stones.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Ooh, but still damn.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And she should be okay.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
I don't want Dolly deal with nothing, just saying you
think her kidney stones are rhyme stones.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
I bet a diamond.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
This is a little thing. God bless me with that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Here's a diamond in my eathroom.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Let's human today, clouds and then some sunshine. It's a
high of sixty eight on the way.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Mike pursuita with your sports here and the Pens get
a really cool win in the garden last night. And
I shut out of Mike Sullivan's Rangers.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
They played the wrong way.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Steelers is getting set for the Browns this coming Sunday,
a one o'clock kickoff at Akrosher Stadium.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Pfty comment are nine to fifteen today.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
DV has your No Destruction Rock and Roll left Ennym
at three pm. Michelle michaels And and Chad Dyson bring
you Workforce Commercial three hours every weekday on DV.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, Dublin. Mike pursuita Ladies
and gentlemen with your sports. Yeah, when'd you guys get home?
He swam back the hell of yesterday? Yeah. Now, look,
you took a well deserved need to get ready for
the long run here. It was not just the teams
bye week, it was media bye week too.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
To a degree. Still had my hand in a few
cookie jars, but nice to be back in this one.
Sports is not brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance. It
took until the final minute of the first period last
night at Madison Square Garden for the new look Penguins
to get what turned out to be the only goal
they'd need for openers.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
The Rangers have it defended that very well, and if
you look at the way.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The Penguins have played, I'd say they've been the clicker team.
They've been better around the floor, and they star right
off the face of Justin Brows.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
His first goal as a Penguin, who.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Anthony Mantha retrieved the puck.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
With thirty two.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Seconds to go in the first period.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Justin Brazo is first the two on the night. He'd
find the empty net in the third period, as would
Blake Lezott. Three nothing Penguins over the Rangers. That had
to piss Selly off. Oh, now they play in front
of the net, and then his team still doesn't defend
the front of the net. It turns out if you
leave a guy wide open in the in the slot area,
(20:33):
even uh shah Arkin has a hard time. But even
Justin Brazo can score.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
I mean, still impressive, like some some nifty mits on
the guy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh and just the kind of performance. That's how they're
gonna have to win. It wasn't necessarily exciting, but they're
gonna have to win shift by shift and to borrow
the Sully line. Play the right way, keep your nose
on the right side of the puck. They just they
played a pretty fundamentally sound game with effort and look
what can happen.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
That's all you had to do to get them to
play the right way. Leave.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah. The thing I loved about this archers se Lobs
was the starting goaltender, not Tristan Jarry. Yeah, and yeah,
they had a bunch of new guys in the lineup.
They had a bunch of rookies in the lineup. They're
two teenagers in the lineup. But I'm looking at that
as a statement from the new coach, Dan Muse And
I don't know if he did that under orders or not,
but to not play Jarry, yes, like if you want,
(21:27):
I mean, this team is still I don't know if
you guys go watched the open or not, or if
you watch the game at all. But Sean McDonough talked
about the Penguins being a team that was sort of
in transition because they're trying to turn the page. But
they won't turn it because they're keeping the old band around.
But they're trying to infuse some youth and change things.
(21:50):
Changing the goalie, you can, that changes things, right, And
we've all seen Tristan Jarr at least I've seen enough
of them. I don't want to speak for everybody else,
but no, I have to is that going nowhere? So
try this kid. This kid is an interesting study. He
does not much experience, but he's played in the playoffs
in the NHL before he won the Calder Cup in
(22:10):
the AHL last year. Why not until Murosof is ready.
Who's the guy they think is going to be the future.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
They're already calling it an artie party when he wins.
I mean, you know, to start your career off with
a new team with a shutout is pretty damn impressive.
You're gonna win a lot of games if you don't
let the other team score.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And you know, he was good but not great. Right,
They didn't make him make six saves in a row.
The puck wasn't in the Penguins end for five minutes
at a time.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
It was a fairly clean game. He stopped the pucks
he was supposed to stop, yep, And they played well
in front of him, including the first shot of their body.
Yeah right, kept that out.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
There was all cream cheese after that crystal tag plus three.
I hoped somebody saved the ceremonial puck for him. Hey,
look the actually gotending. Who knows fifty eight might be
in the plus category. They gave him a pucket said
plus three on it. He said, you spelled minus wrong.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
And you put one too many dashes on damp.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
That was actually fun to watch. Hockey season kind of smuck.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Up all me.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
I got, I got a period in the second period
and I fell asleep.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
But Pennza will have their home opener on Thursday night
against the New York Islanders. Steelers getting ready for the
Browns on Sunday at Act for Sure Stadium. Little AFC
North football back in Pittsburgh. You know that's got Mike
Tomlin's attention.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
You know, I just love being in big time competition.
I'm a competition junkie, and I just think the divisional
component of how our schedules are aligned these days in
today's game, the intimacy specifically of the AFC North, the
stability within the programs.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Man.
Speaker 11 (23:50):
You know, Kevin's been in Cleveland for a number of years.
I've known Jim Schwartz for a long time. I think
that that intimacy, that knowledge creates competition. I think the
geographic proximity creates a cool environment. There's a lot to
be excited about relative to this game this weekend in
AFC nor football.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And I was watching the news with my wife last
night that Cliff came on, and she said, why does
he have to say geographic proximity. We can't just say
Cleveland and Pittsburgh are clubs because well, this is good.
This is that is his armor, this is how he
does it. It's linguistic armor. Word salad is at the
(24:31):
new cliche.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Well, I mean yeah, but he did. There is a
method behind the madness. You know, if you constantly get
have people on like having to listen like that and
decipher they're on their heels a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
What's the saying If you can't dazzle them with brilliance,
baffle them with rights. He is great at that. He baffles.
Alex high Smith and Joey Porter are guys that Tomlins
quote really couraged about in terms of their participation. Now,
how much high Smith would play, Thomas said, that's going
(25:06):
to depend on his conditioning and what his practice week
looks like. He's been out a while. Nick Krbig's been
really good. There's been a lot of talk about he's
not going anywhere in terms of his use because he's
been so effective. But they do have a three outside
linebacker package, and I think.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
You're going to have to see that, right, Dylan Gabriel's
not going to drop back thirty times.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
If you want to ease Smith back into it, that
would be one way to do it, Tom, and also
really encouraged about Jalen Warren, Calvin Austin's shoulder and Jalen
Ramsey hamstring are the guys to keep an eye on
this week. Tomlins said he is quote encouraged about the
potential of those guys, which were you surprised me because
(25:47):
it means nothing. Okay, it means absolutely nothing.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
He made it sound like there was the potential for
them to play this weekend and there is none.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Is that just straight gamesmanship because like all the reporting
initially was that Ramsey had the same thing JPJ had,
which means he's gonna miss a month.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, and it is in line with how Tom Latreet's
injured guys. He doesn't say Joe Blow will be back
in three weeks because then that tells Joe Blow that
he's got three weeks. Yeah, but it's once these guys
doing everything they can to rehab and maybe you get
back quickly.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
He even mentioned that those guys were super aggressive in the.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Bye week, but I wouldn't expect to see the one
of them. But quite honestly, it's Hey, it's the NFL.
You don't take anything for granted and I think this
Cleveland game is going to be a struggle. I think
one score game. I think it's winnable. I think it's
going to be a struggle. The Bengals have not been
competitive since Burrow went out at all. So you got
a chance here to get through the next couple and
(26:46):
if you can do it without these two guys and
not have that be anything long term, maybe you roll
those dice.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I mean, I think if the Vikings were healthy, they
would have had a much easier time with the Browns.
But the Browns giving a team like that fits I
think things are a lot better than the record.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, I think they're pretty good.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
And I think it was a good win for the
Steelers despite all the injuries.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I mean London, yeah, or Dublin. All the wins are
good because they count. You know, look at the New England.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Anybody's going crazy about Winds.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Seattle loss doesn't look so bad because I think that
they're really good squad.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Browns are falling.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Getting so that doesn't bother me.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
If we had a tight game with a crappy team
in Week one, because that's Openers are like that.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
They had all the hope in their eyes they did.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
They had the game in their hands.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
The weird thing about that, though, is where you would
have expected the Steelers to be sluggish would have been
on offense, where they had taken no snaps with the starters,
you know, and the defense was the one that we
were being told was going to be, you know, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
And they gave Justin Fields his best game of the year.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And he hasn't.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
He's got a lot of stats in mop up time.
He had a really nice run too. Well, they give
those to you when you're up by thirty. You kind
of play back and you can take off if you're
a mobile quarterback. But his numbers don't look that bad
when you look at Justin Fields, he's just got a
ton of padding. It's all doesn't matter time Ben did
(28:13):
a lot of that in those crappy years.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Deal for five kind of stands out with Fields. Yeah,
that's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
I think organizationally too, like the Steelers deserve a lot
of credit because a Rod won five games with that
team last year. He comes here, he's already almost he's
almost there. Yeah, and we're five games end of the season.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I think one thing that's been confirmed to this point.
There was a lot of speculation about Rogers. He came
back last year, but he wasn't really back until the
back end of the season, you know, coming off that
injury took him a long time too.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
But they lost a lot of games that maybe they
shouldn't have. And this year, you know, Field started four
and two, he's over. They have yet to get their win. Like,
I think there's something to say for that. I mean,
it's not like you put the Steeler helmet on and
you win, but organizationally that the Steelers are.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Just light yours head of the Jets, as is everybody
else there. But Rogers has been really good. Was no
question going for And I don't think I don't think
you evaluate him on stats. You evaluate him on how
he's playing and how they're playing and what he's able
to do. And well, we set all along Mike.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
The biggest concern with him can't will he get through October?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Like you know, he's the only guy still upright right
now in the whole division.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
I know, Well, that's because he takes one point two
seconds to throw the ball, chuck and duck.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
As long as you chuck it to the right spot.
It could work. Baseball playoffs. Yesterday, Seattle beat Detroit eight
to four. Mariners up two games to one in that series,
and the Yankees were dead and buried, or so it looked.
Down six to one against the Jay's already down two
games to none in the series. The Bronx Bombers stormback
(29:56):
and win nine six.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Oh my god, I had no idea they won that game.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I thought, if that was done, Judge had a three
run thinger the tight and the bottom of the four
off the foul pole.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
He needed that desperately.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Oh my god, that's just them.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Start spreading the news. Four games today, Mariners Tigers at
three o'clock. Brewers can close out the Cubs in three.
Starting at five oh eight, Jason Yankees again at seven
o eight. Toronto's got a bullpen game lined up today
against Schlittler, who's been lights hot. Yeah, yes, maybe that

Speaker 3 (34:15):
What's going on in Huh? We got problems? What's that
we got?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
We got the getting on the bus problems?
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Damn.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Younger one yesterday goes out, gets ready for school, which
is always usually a fight, gets out the door. I'm
finishing my coffee, as you know. You know when the
last kid gets out the door, You're like, ah, I
can have a sip of coffee, I can watch the news,
maybe take a cha.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yes, right, just just basking your glory of that.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Fifteen fifteen minutes and he comes back in the door
and he's a little emotional.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
He says, I'm not going to school, and.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
So then that kicks off an hour and a half
therapy slash consoling slash fact finding session that results. I
eventually calmed him down and everything like that, and we
walked to school just it's not that far, so he went.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
But then it just came back to me.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
You now, how your parents are always just like wait
till you have kids, so they do what you put
me through.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I did the.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Exact same real thing, and then I realized my dad
did the exact same thing, Like, well that just is
pretty much ninety percent of America.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
But I remember his father. I think it was like
first grade.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I was going to a new school and it was
like first through sixth grade or something like that. And
I remember my mom sort of like you know, said okay,
you know, there's the bus stop down there, and the
bus pulled up and the whole back half of was
like kids with like dirty teenage mustaches.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
And I was like, I'm sorry, are you sending me
to prison?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
And then wouldn't go, and I wouldn't go for like
a week, and on like the Friday, like the fifth
day of me stranging like holding up to the door
jams like my fingernails like being clawed into the thing.
I remember my mom like at her wits end, like
starting to cry, like but just like she she had enough.
And then then I was like ooh, like maybe I'm
being a little bit of a piece of crap here.
(36:13):
And then so but I'm talking to my dad about this,
and he goes, I did the same thing. He went
to Saint Gabriel's in Baldwin, which was a Catholic school,
and his house was right across the school, so he said,
he goes, what I would do is I would go
to school and then immediately leave and go down to
the baseball field and play baseball. He goes, I had
to have the cops come get me like nineteen times
when I was in first grade.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Sea officers, yeah, the truancy officers.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I mean, I know there's a lot of motions like
in school, but like did that ever did you ever
have like a patch where you're like, nah, not, it's
not happening, not gonna go.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
I was terrified not to get on the bus. I mean,
I was terrified of the bus. But then my mom
had weapons at the house, like any kitchen utensil was available,
So I was on the bus kill bill.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Literally.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I think part of is two, like, you know this
this is my younger son, but my older son's going
to middle school, which is like he just went from
elementary school to middle school, and I remember middle school
being that time. I don't know why, it was like
more harrowing than going to college more harrowing than going
to high school. All the elementary schools get mixed together,
so your friend groups all kind of get smushed around
(37:19):
and and busted up and everything like that. And uh, yeah,
I remember having a rough time with with middle school too.
Speaker 9 (37:26):
Were you able to lock in with your son? Like
why because you went through it? Yeah, like the fact
where that comes from?
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Results, I don't know if I locked in where it
came from, because he's I don't know why, Like he's
already like a Vietnam vet, Like he's like, I don't
want to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
About it with others, but yeah, if.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
He has a bad dream or someone like, what's your
bad dreams? Like, he's like, I'd rather not say. I'd
really rather not reiterate what happened to verse again, whatever
the joker did to me and my stuffed animals in
my dream, I don't want to anyone to reiterate that
at all.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
But no, Like I think actually what helped him is
when I.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Told when we were walking to school, I was like,
Daddy was kind of a sissy, like.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
You are like it.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
For some reason, Yeah, this is your birthright.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Like he he totally like and then like then the
next day he was totally fine. But I think sometimes
I don't know why, but like, well, I guess.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I do know why.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
He he was embarrassed and sort of felt like maybe
his emotions got the best of them, and just knowing that,
all right, some other people had that and Dad had that,
and he told me like that's that he did that,
Like okay, like that's not so bad.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
So I think we're back on the right track. But
was there an inciting incident though? Did you get to
the bottom of that? Was there something specific that no?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Just And that's the thing is, like I think kids
are like sort of almost trained to not or think
that they don't like school, But when you think about it,
you're like, all your friends are there, Like what else
were you gonna do? Whenever my kids are home sick,
they they they're insufferable, like they they there's there's not
enough netflix that they could possibly pump into their body
that would absolutely entertain them like school does. But they
(39:05):
had this idea that I don't know if it's the
pressure of school or whatever, that they just don't want
to go. So as far as we could tell, there
was no inciting incident. I think it was just emotions
got the better of them. And then there's nothing worse
than being emotional walking to the bus stop full of
like six friends and just like, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (39:21):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
We have a note, Yeah, well we have we have
a we have a little bit of a Nebby Nebby
neighbor girl. She's our she's our family friend and everything
like that. But she noticed that he wasn't on the
bus that day, and so when they got off the bus,
she started grilling him, why aren't you on the bus?
And he started lying in front of her and was
asking me to be like his his accomplice. He's like,
(39:45):
I forgot my folder, and I go, you didn't forget
your folder? And he just looks at me and starts nodding.
He goes, I forgot my folder. And I was like,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you forgot your folder. And she's like,
you didn't forget your folder. You know, she already sees
like through the whole thing, but get to the bottom
of this, Yes, exactly, that exact kind of thing. But
I think we'll be okay today after after everything. But
(40:06):
it was just that, it was it was a rough
that's a rough way to start the morning of an
hour and a half sojourn to to and from an
elementary school trying to deal with that. Again, job well
done by you. I mean, that's a parenting win. Yeah,
but I also started thinking. I was like, I think
the only reason I'm able to parent effectively is because
my job allows me to. Like, if I had to,
(40:27):
I own my own business, so I can kind of
take that time to do that. If I had to
get to work or face disciplinary messages, I would be
booting him out the door with a steel toe shoe,
be like.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
I gotta get out the jobs, suck it up, and
he's got your news next.
Speaker 10 (40:43):
All right, we knew somebody was gonna skip Halloween and
go right to Christmas. Unfortunately it's the city of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 14 (40:49):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by your neighborhood Ford Store and Steeler's Pro Shop.
Get it direct from the team at shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom.
Speaker 15 (41:00):
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media yesterday for
his weekly press conference ahead of this weekend's upcoming matchup
against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 16 (41:07):
The team's first AFC North matchup of the season.
Speaker 15 (41:09):
When addressing the injuries the Steelers are dealing with, Mike
Tomlin said the arrow is pointing in the right direction
when it comes to Alex Higsmith.
Speaker 16 (41:15):
And Joey Porter Junior's participation Sunday.
Speaker 15 (41:18):
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Calvin Austin are a
different story, however, as Mike Tomlin said they will begin
the week in a limited capacity if Calvin Austin is
indeed unable to go Sunday against the Browns. Coach Tomlin
said that his duties will be deputized by increased workloads
for both Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson. Miller, a seven
year vet who has just won target this year as
he still searches for his first.
Speaker 16 (41:38):
Reception of the season.
Speaker 15 (41:39):
Once upon a Time, played a crucial role in Tampa
Bay's offense, where he put up five hundred yards on
the Bucks twenty twenty Super Bowl winning team.
Speaker 16 (41:46):
Roman Wilson was the Steelers.
Speaker 15 (41:47):
Third round pick in the twenty twenty four draft, but
missed his rookie season due to injury. It has been
a struggle so far this year for Roman to see
the field, as he only has one catch for seven
yards on just two targets. But the misfortune for Calvin
Austin might end up being the opportun tunity for romand Wilson.
Speaker 16 (42:01):
To make his splash on Todd. I've form with the Steelers,
