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. 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 (00:23):
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 up and.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Everything like that? Way, how did you even figure that out?
That's weird? And then you took the white thing that
comes out of a chicken's.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Ass or who ha or whatever. I don't even really
know where it comes from, and you mix that in. Okay,
you get noodles out of that whole thing. Okay, what's
that like lumpy stuff that's in this lasagna? That's cheese?
Where's that come from? The milk from a cow?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Like?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
How did how the milk from a cow is liquid?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Like?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
What's this chunky? You just slash it around? It does that?
I didn't even know it did that?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
And then what's the savory protein stuff that's in the
that's the cow.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
You guys are sick.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
My Brandy Bellman and the DV morning show Mister Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (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.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
He'll be joining us eight forty five today.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
We met him in.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Doubled He was great.

Speaker 6 (01:22):
Oh, he's awesome.

Speaker 2 (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 (01:42):
Sounds like a spell.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Justin Brezzo had a couple of goals and brass. Yeah,
I know that means the first thing that comes to mind, right, Blake,
if you're a deviant Blake, I can't tell on herself.
It's like the porn site born site. I don't know
I've never heard of that. I remember our old producer

(02:07):
who's now doing Gangbusters and radio down in North Carolina
Ready 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. This day, I still have

(02:27):
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. He was,

(02:48):
no dude. He he found two wives on the internet.
He's he was a man of the Internet.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Like he was not on any of those sites.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
No, he just met people on yes, you know that. Yeah, okay,
but he, dude, he was always very life in the
digital world. For him was not an odd thing. It's
that's his age group grew up in that. You know.
In mine, it was kind of like e edating was

(03:20):
kind of taboo and now it is the norm.

Speaker 7 (03:25):
Yeah, 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 (03:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, e yikes, I don't want to do that.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, the whole thing 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 (04:18):
Kind of are very new.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, yeah, I had a great game, the young kid,
Harrison Brunnick. Yeah all right, Michael 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.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
I know, I love the fact that she tours.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
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 keep dumping quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, but try selling him that, right, Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
Well, he probably wouldn't tell you anyways what his thoughts were.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Yeah, he move and shunts them out for you.

Speaker 2 (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,
and then just filmed the quarterback carousel and it goes
round and round and round.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Rixyback narrates that quarterback carousel, and it looks like Joe
Flacco is going to Cincinnati.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Dylly Gabriel's now the starter, because.

Speaker 7 (05:45):
Don't they have to go out and maybe grab a
third quarterback.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
They just they elevated Bailey Zappi from the practice squad,
and Bailey Zappi has starting NFL experience. 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 2 (06:07):
So it's possible that she 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 5 (06:20):
If something goes wrong for Dylan Gabriel.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
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 (06:50):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ten to six.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Or ten to seven or whatever it was.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Maybe he's just going to keep trading himself away. It's
the teams that are playing.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
The pack that might be, because that seems to be
the only way that he win.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
That might be it. All right, So tons of stuff
to come for you this morning here, and Abby's got
your news kicking things off.

Speaker 9 (07:10):
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

(07:32):
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. All right, I don't know

(07:54):
why that's a thing, but a third of.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Not obediency.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Nope, no, there's lots of obese dogs.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, and this is just general pets. So fat cats,
fat dogs, we love them all.

Speaker 9 (08:11):
But a third of pet owners admit that their cat
or dog could stand to lose a little weight.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And that is just the self reported stats.

Speaker 9 (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 2 (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 9 (08:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Do you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Like, you gotta
be selective about what treat My dog gets, any vegetable
he wants, Like if I'm chopped 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 2 (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 and the entire time,

(09:36):
and it doesn't matter what it is, which is hilarious
because if you are cutting tofu, he will eat it
at first. All right, I'll allow it. He does like
the mouth in his head while it's in his snout,
you know.

Speaker 10 (09:48):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
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. Yeah, he's a weird but it doesn't
care for veggies. 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 5 (10:15):
They can't handle all the fat.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
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 5 (10:33):
And that's the stuff, like the fried stuff that.

Speaker 9 (10:35):
Yeah, it doesn't sound good.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Well for dog.

Speaker 7 (10:38):
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.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
He is a trash panda like we've never seen.

Speaker 7 (10:55):
He's the nicest guy ever, but he's constantly looking for
food or low. 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 2 (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?
I go out. He's doing what that dog did. He's
on the stove trying to get food. It'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.

(11:34):
It's like you missed a thousand percent of the shots
you don't take, you know. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (11:38):
I remember growing up my household dog. Her name was
cool Breeze of Montana. My brother rescued her. It's a
really long name, but we just called her Breezy. But
she ate eighteen meatballs. One Sunday afternoon, my mom had
just finished the meatballs, was letting them cool on this plate.
Ate them all my eighteen fried meat.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
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. Is
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 the dog food in the basement.
So he like wedges the door open, goes downstairs and

(12:21):
there's a forty pound bag of dog food dog housed it.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
The whole thing.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Come home and it's like a cartoon. The dog looks
like a bag of forty pound dog just like, yeah, hey,
well you guys have.

Speaker 7 (12:39):
Got some weird stuff. You can see the entire outline.

Speaker 2 (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 9 (13:02):
It sounds like they are within the next few years
working on an o zempic for pets, like a pet zempic.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I mean, why not, it's just so not necessary, mean fat. Yeah,
but you don't have to give them the food.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
I mean he can just like.

Speaker 9 (13:19):
But some animals are like that.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
They will get to it.

Speaker 9 (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 2 (13:30):
Oh my god, and just destroyed them. Oh yeah, that's
not good.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah, you getting a refrigerator. I don't know, smart.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Cat, very good cat.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
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
a little lax with the tuck.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
Oh yeah, Like their hand.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
Range is exactly where his mouth range is. So it's
like a perfect scenarios. It's just, you know, a beautiful
disaster and then he's hooked and can't get enough.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
And I'm sure that there's plenty of dogs like that
out there.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
My dog Jackson Rip, when I lived on my Washington
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 graanby you avenue, a dude
who walked past me with a sandwich in his hand
hanging whoa and Jackson literally just took a.

Speaker 5 (14:27):
Bite of it and kept going guy, And I was like,
what happened?

Speaker 2 (14:30):
He's like, you dog ate my 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, this is our thing.
You just got sandwich bandit all right?

Speaker 9 (14:53):
Here is a fun fact for the next time that
you fly, And by fun, I mean your palms will
be even sweater. Do you know why planes dim the
lights for takeoff and landing.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
To make it sexy?

Speaker 9 (15:07):
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. What I am so
glad I did not know this when we were on
our way to Ireland better.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I guess.

Speaker 11 (15:26):
So.

Speaker 9 (15:27):
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 also makes the

(15:47):
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 7 (15:59):
What's good, It's nice you get to see your demise
ful wharf.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
But well, here's my question though, with the windows.

Speaker 7 (16:07):
They want them all up at the end of the
flight 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 2 (16:23):
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. Really,
I don't know. Okay, because I kind of feel like
I have slept all the way through a landing before
and woken up and you know, the window was closed.

Speaker 5 (16:46):
But I might be wrong about that.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
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 9 (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 2 (17:08):
And that's normal, and.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
It's gonna sound like this.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Hell by fine.

Speaker 7 (17:18):
It was kind of terrifying, but in the Irish accent,
nothing really does sound that terrifying.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know, that lilt is just so comforting.

Speaker 12 (17:27):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (17:28):
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 flooding 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 the rest of the she needs and comes back
stronger than ever.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
I know a guy, you know's a guy and it's
kidney stones.

Speaker 9 (18:07):
Ooh, but still damn.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
And she should be okay.

Speaker 9 (18:12):
I don't want Dolly devil with nothing. Just say you
think her kidney stones are rhyme stones.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
I beeded diamond.

Speaker 9 (18:22):
This is a little thing. God bless me with that.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Here's a diamond in myth.

Speaker 9 (18:29):
Let's human today, clouds and then some sunshine. It's a
high of sixty eight on the way.

Speaker 2 (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. They played the
wrong way. Steelers getting set for the Browns this coming Sunday,
a one o'clock kickoff at Akroscher Stadium.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Pfty Common Are nine to fifteen.

Speaker 13 (18:52):
Today DVD has your No Destruction Rock and Roll that
Jenny and then three pm Michelle, Michael Sad and Chad
Dyson and bring you Workforce Commercial three hours every weekday
on DV.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center in Dublin, Mike pursuita
Ladies and gentlemen with your sports. Yeah, when'd you guys
get home? Yea?

Speaker 6 (19:14):
He swam back the hell of yesterday.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
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,
to a degree.

Speaker 14 (19:26):
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.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
To be the only goal they'd need for openers. The
Rangers haven't defended that very well. And if you look
at the.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Way the Penguins have played, I'd see it.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
They've been the quicker team, they've been better around the floor,
and they start right off the face on Justin Brazo
first goal as a Penguin who.

Speaker 15 (20:03):
Anthony Mantha retrieved.

Speaker 16 (20:04):
The puck.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
With thirty two seconds to go in the first period.
Justin Brazo is first the two on the night.

Speaker 14 (20:14):
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, even uh Shtarkin has a hard time.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
But even Justin Brazo can score.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
I mean, still impressive, like some some nifty mits on
the guy.

Speaker 14 (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.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Play the right way, keep your nose on the right
side of the puck.

Speaker 14 (20:57):
They just they played a pretty fundamentally sound 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.

Speaker 17 (21:06):
Leave.

Speaker 14 (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
and 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 Use 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 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 where is that going?

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Nowhere?

Speaker 14 (22:01):
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 the AHL last year. Why not until muros Off
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 14 (22:28):
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 2 (22:36):
It was a fairly clean game. He stopped the pucks
he was supposed to stop, yep.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
And they played well in front of him.

Speaker 14 (22:42):
Including the first shot of their body. Yeah right, kept
that out. There was all cream cheese after that crystal
tag plus three. I hoped somebody saved the ceremonial puck
for him.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Hey, look, the actually tending who knows fifty eight might
be in the plus category, gave him a pucket said
plus three on it. He said, you spelled minus wrong.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
And you put one too many dashes undamped.

Speaker 14 (23:09):
That was actually fun to watch hockey season kind of
smuck up all me.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
I got, I got a period in the second period
and I fell asleep.

Speaker 14 (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 18 (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 2 (23:49):
Man.

Speaker 18 (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 North football.

Speaker 14 (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?

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Can't just say Cleveland and Pittsburgh are close 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 new cliche. 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

(24:40):
listen like that and decipher they're on their heels a
little bit. What's he saying.

Speaker 14 (24:46):
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with
that's rights.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
He is great at that. He baffles.

Speaker 14 (24:54):
Alex high Smith and Joey Porter are guys that Tomlin
his quote really encourage about in terms of their participation. Now,
how much high Smith would play, Thomas said, that's going
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

(25:15):
not going anywhere in terms of his use because he's
been so effective.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
But they do have a three outside linebacker package, and
I think you're going to have to see that, right,
Dylan Gabriel's not going to drop back thirty times if
you want to ease Smith's back into it.

Speaker 14 (25:30):
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 it means nothing.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Okay, it means absolutely nothing. He made it sound like
there was the potential for them to play this weekend
and there is none. I wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Is that just straight gamesmanship because like all the boarding
initially was that Ramsey had the same thing JPJ had,
which means he's going to miss a month.

Speaker 14 (26:06):
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 he once these
guys doing everything they can to rehab and maybe you
get back quick.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
He even mentioned that those guys were super aggressive in the.

Speaker 14 (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

(26:45):
if you can do it without these two guys and
not have that be anything long term, maybe you roll
those dice.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
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 the Vikings a lot better than the record. Yeah,
I think they're pretty good. And I think it was
a good win for the Steelers despite all the injuries.

Speaker 14 (27:06):
I mean London, yeah, or Dublin. All the wins are
good because they count. You know, look at the New England.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
You know what I'm saying. Anybody's going crazy about Winds
Seattle loss doesn't look so bad because I think that
they look really good.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Squad Browns are falling getting.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
So that doesn't bother me if we had a tight
game with a crappy team in the Week one, because
that's Openers are like that.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
They had all the hope in their eyes.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
They did, they had the game in their hands. 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. And they
gave Justin Fields his best game of the year and
he hasn't. He's got a lot of stats in mop

(27:54):
up time. He had a really nice run too.

Speaker 17 (27:57):
Well.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
They give those to you when you're up by third.
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 a lot of that in those crappy years.

Speaker 14 (28:14):
Deal for five kind of stands out with Fields. Yeah,
that's all that matters.

Speaker 2 (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 ind of the season.

Speaker 14 (28:32):
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.

Speaker 14 (29:03):
Are just light yours ahead of the Jets, as is
everybody else there.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
But Rogers has been really good.

Speaker 14 (29:10):
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.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
He's able to do. And we set all along Mike.
The biggest concern with him will he get through October? Like,
you know, he's the only guy still upright right now
in the whole division. I know, Well, that's because he
takes one point two seconds to throw the ball.

Speaker 14 (29:33):
Chuck and duck as long as you chuck it to
the right spot. I 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.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Down six to.

Speaker 14 (29:49):
One against the Jay's already down two games to none
in the series. The Bronx Bombers stormback and win nine six.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
Oh my god, I had no idea they won that game.
I thought that it was done.

Speaker 14 (30:01):
Judge you a three run thinger the tight and the
bottom of the four off the foul pole.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
He needed that desperately.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
Oh my god, that's just them.

Speaker 2 (30:13):

Speaker 2 (34:14):
What's going on?

Speaker 8 (34:15):
Man?

Speaker 22 (34:15):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
We got problems? What's that we got?

Speaker 1 (34:19):
We got the getting on the bus problems? That damn
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,

(34:41):
maybe take a cha. Yes, right, just just basking your
glory of that. Fifteen fifteen minutes and he comes back
in the door and he's a little emotional. He says,
I'm not going to school, and so then that kicks
off an hour and a half therapy slash consoling slash

(35:01):
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 2 (35:11):
But then it just came back to me. You know
how your parents.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Are always just like wait till you have kids, so
they do what you put me through.

Speaker 23 (35:18):
I did the exact same real thing, and then I
realized my dad did the exact same thing, Like well
that just this is pretty much ninety percent of America.

Speaker 2 (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 2 (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
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.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
And then then I was like.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Ooh, like maybe I'm being a little bit of a
piece of crap here. And then 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

(36:31):
me like nineteen times when I was in first grade.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Sea officers, yeah, the truancy officers. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
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 (36:45):
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.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Bus kill bill. Literally.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
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 (37:25):
Were you able to lock in with your son? Like
why because you went through it?

Speaker 2 (37:32):
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.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
A Vietnam vet, Like he's like, I don't want to
talk about it, talk about it with others.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, if he has a bad dream or someone like,
what's your bad dreams?

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Like he's like, I'd rather not say.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
I'd really rather not reiterate what happened to the universe again,
whatever the joker did to me and my stuffed animals
in my dream, I don't want any one.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
To reiterate that at all.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
But no, Like I think actually what helped him is
when I told when we were walking to school, I
was like, Daddy was kind of a sissy, like you.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Are like for some reason, yeah, this is your birthright.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
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 2 (38:36):
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,
just And that's.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
The thing is, like I think kids are like sort
of almost trained to not or think that they don't like.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
School, But when you think about it, you're like, all
your friends are there, Like what else are you gonna do?

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Whenever my kids are home sick, they they they're insufferable,
like they they there's there's not enough netflix that could
possibly pump into their body that would absolutely entertain them
like school does. But they 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 him.
And then there's nothing worse than being emotional walking to

(39:16):
the bus stop full of like six friends and just like,
what's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (39:21):
What's wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (39:21):
We have a yeah, hull, well we have a we
have a little bit.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Of a Nebby Nebby neighbor girl.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
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, I forgot
my folder, and I go, you didn't forget your folder?

(39:49):
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 she to 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 it was just that
it was a it was a rough that's a rough
way to start the morning of an hour and a

(40:10):
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, I own my
own business, so I can kind of take that time
to do that. If I had to get to work

(40:31):
or face disciplinary messers, I would be booting him out
the door with a steel toe shoe, be like.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
I gotta get out the jobs.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
Suck it up, ad, he's got your news next.

Speaker 9 (40:43):
All right, we knew somebody was gonna skip Halloween and
go right to Christmas. Unfortunately it's the city of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 24 (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.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Here's tom Off from.

Speaker 25 (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, the team's first DAFC North matchup
of the season. 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 and
Joey Porter Junior's participation Sunday. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide
receiver Calvin Austin are a different story, however, as Mike

(41:22):
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 2 (41:38):
Reception of the season.

Speaker 25 (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. Roman Wilson
was the Steelers third round pick in the twenty twenty
four draft, but missed his rookie.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Season due to injury.

Speaker 25 (41:51):
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 opportunity
for Roman Wilson.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
To make his splash. I'm tom off from him with
the Steelers.

Speaker 22 (42:03):
Report Ford for Appliances.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
This is W D E. Pittsburgh. My dog Jackson rip
when I lived on Mount Washington and I used to
walk him on Grandview Avenue every day over.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
To Olympia Park and then around the park and back home.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Walking on Granby 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.
A guy like and I was like, what happened? He's like,
your dog ate my 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,

(42:45):
but I'll get you.

Bought sport, but illuminated us to the fact that there
are more Steeler fans in Mexico City than Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (43:42):

Mexico City, like the second most populous city in all
of the world the world. Yeah said, there's like seven

News this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Wet Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. It's less humid today, clouds,
and then we get some sunshine. It's a high of
sixty eight and we did just enter October. And yet
you've probably seen somebody put up a Christmas tree or
some type of Christmas decoration somewhere, maybe even in your

(44:22):
own cities. Downtown plaza Pittsburgh just put up their downtown
Christmas tree and yes, what.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
You don't like this? Oh yeah, this is not okay.

Speaker 6 (44:34):
I thought there was like a big ceremony.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Yeah, it sounds like light up night is when everything
happened that weekend.

Speaker 9 (44:39):
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 because
we're going to skates. But I got to say they

(44:59):
should have waited for Halloween first, Marcus.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
Yeah, wait, anybody is that the source?

Speaker 1 (45:07):
We interviewed a four year old and he said that
he saw a Christmas tree downtown, like use it for.

Speaker 7 (45:13):
Just a tree. This is just a regular normal tree.
Tree is a Christmas tree. It was a Christmas tweet. Yay.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
I have to say, like my wife came home with
three boxes of what she called Halloween lights, and 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 5 (45:37):
You bristled at this.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
I bristled pretty hard 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.
This is this is.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Jumping over where the Christmas lights where they should be.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Adam will disagree with you on this.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
You like Christmas light, you like Halloween lights. Uh, yeah,
I don't go too crazy, though.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
I think it's happened.

Speaker 9 (46:02):
I don't like the lights around Halloween to be more
than what you're going to do.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
For Chris of course.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Yeah, but I like a little bit of like some
decoration there a shrubb or two. I have one shrub
and a skeleton inflatable, and I think once the inflatables
come out.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
That's the purview of Christmas.

Speaker 6 (46:21):
Also, yep, slippery slope.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (46:25):
I don't like it, but this is what being a
dad and a husband is. Yeah, 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 6 (46:40):
Problem with it.

Speaker 7 (46:40):
Yeah, you're doing screaming at then they'd run back in
crying to her, and then you'd walk back into your
house in a fight.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Yeah. I will say.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
You always get some credits though, for for doing outside
light work.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
You can. You can get a little time to yourself.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
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.
Walked by the window saying God, damn it a couple
of times, just to make sure that everybody knew.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
I was really working hard. Make sure you know it's frustrating.

Speaker 7 (47:09):
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 you have that
clicker thing that your trouble, Yeah that never works because
you don't want to buy another strand for six dollars.

Speaker 9 (47:23):
I did take her to Spirit last night. We did
like a little trip to Spirit to take a look around,
just you.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Know, yeah, one in the mood. Yeah, which I won't
do any of that stuff.

Speaker 9 (47:34):
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 its spirit. They're almost making that part
of the attraction of walking into Spirit, like little toddlers
getting afraid of the gigantic grik.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
My son into home depot probably around this time last year,
and I had my older son with me and my
younger son, and 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. The he wanders off and.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
All I hear is.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
And he ran back.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I was like, what was that. He's like nothing, nothing,
That definitely was not me screaming.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
At that moved when I waved my hand in front
of its face.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Yeah, they never do the lawn blow up stuff or
the skeletons or anything.

Speaker 8 (48:28):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
I mean we put little like skulls in our bushes
and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
But that's that's really pretty much about it.

Speaker 6 (48:37):
To show everybody you're you're not terrible.

Speaker 11 (48:40):
No.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
And I've always wanted to have like a cool Halloween house,
Like 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 of.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Fog and you just serve up some pink.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
It just adds to the theatricalness the undertaker is making.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
It.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
I ratcheted up on Halloween proper, like I do.

Speaker 9 (49:10):
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 2 (49:23):
Sacrifice a live cat, I get it. Well, everybody does that.

Speaker 9 (49:26):
But but uh, Edie is fighting me because I won't
get an inflatable for the yard. And I have a
big thing against inflatables. I just don't like them. I'm
not trying to go against anybody who likes inflatable it
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.

(49:48):
Why don't you like them? Because they look like trash
most of the time because they're usually not inflated. Yes, true,
and they look like trash in the yard. They just
look like, you know.

Speaker 7 (49:57):
Crumpled yes, out of the house, all their laundries in
their front yard.

Speaker 9 (50:02):
I told him, I said, you won the battle for Christmas.
I got you a Christmas inflatable. When Christmas comes, we'll
do the inflatable Halloween. That's mommies.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
No.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
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 this stuff off.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Getting a little hot up there.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
Yeah, oh the irony me.

Speaker 9 (50:40):
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.

(51:01):
So after they're done trick or trading, they get to
keep like five pieces of candy. 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 5 (51:19):
Basically, she feels very pagan.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
Yeah, candy.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I guess I sort of get it because if you start,
you see what how much candy your kids bring back? Like,
you couldn't eat this in a year? If I like,
she doesn't, Yeah, Like we keep keep it in the
kitchen drawer and you have it as a little sniky
snack every so often or so. But but that is
I mean I kind of get The problem is is
we need standardization across the board with these holidays and

(51:45):
basically say what's happening and what's not happening. You can't
have a household that has the switch witch and another
one that doesn't have the switchwitch, because then no one
knows what's going on.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
There's no continuity there.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
People are talking at the bus stop about about the
discrepancies and then the whole the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
The kids are going to figure it out what you're saying, right, Well,
I thought you were gonna say it was if it
was a kin to alf on a shelf. It is
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 in the stool
will be making sure you're being mischievous. Oool in the stool.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Isn't that like a pre cancer screening that dump in
a box and send it off to somebody?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
So Mark Mann says he does that instead of stool.

Speaker 9 (52:30):
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 dollars fine.

Speaker 6 (52:47):
Here it is.

Speaker 9 (52:47):
Eighty 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 7 (53:00):
You know how that happens.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Well, I mean one thing for sure, Jerry Jones, this
explains why he was such a bad hitchhiker.

Speaker 9 (53:09):
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 17 (53:25):
Well.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
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.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Like did they stop doing that?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
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 YouTube worthy diatribe on that, like,
you know, people never used to.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Do that, No I had. I was a little apoplectic
about it yesterday because it's just like, if the people
who are representing the Shield are okay behaved being like that,
you can't come down on anybody in the stands for
acting like animal. You can't go after the players. It's
just like it's gotta be like some norms in society
where it's like you have to be an example at

(54:13):
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 his interactions. I forgot one
of the things David Tepper did since he's been owner
of the Carolina Panthers is throw a drink on fans

(54:33):
from the opposing team, as well as pulling over, yeah,
and then pulling over on the side of the road
to go in a business that had like a JAG's
joke on their like outside billboard or whatever.

Speaker 26 (54:48):
Panthers, I'm sorry, And the owner of the Titans also
flipped off the fans before, so this is not like
exactly exclusive behavior, but it is something that they should
bang them with a quarter million fine.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
I think I'd like to.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
Write a paper like or some kind of pamphlet or
something like that, because I have noticed this where like
we have an epidemic right now of low class rich people.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Yes, in years past.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
The rich people used to at least have 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, yay, 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 try to
set an example. I don't feel like there's anyone carrying
that torch right now.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
It is all in for themselves.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
And the more rich you are, the more low class
it allows you to be all of a sudden, and
I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Well, the country club is full of Rodney dangerfields now, yes,
one hundred percent. I mean it used to be behavior,
and that was that was a comedic premise that you
would go in and be a meathead amongst all the
refined people. And now there aren't more refined people. Yeah,
everybody just like an animal craft.

Speaker 7 (56:04):
I mean, got caught at a rubbing tug in a
strip mall, a nice one. You don't have access to
a better place.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Yeah you got. There's got to be a high priced hooker,
not one next to a Jersey Sun. Yeah, what are
we doing?

Speaker 7 (56:21):
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 pictures surface of him on
the internet with his pants unbuttoned and yeah, sloppy drunk
with some girl in his arms.

Speaker 6 (56:36):
That who the hell is she?

Speaker 2 (56:38):
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.
Like I don't have kids, but I feel so bad
when the people are there with their kids and they
have to hear that stuff. Like, you gotta have a

(56:58):
baseline of behavior you're when you're out in public. We
used to be a society.

Speaker 6 (57:03):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
My son loves like they are. Both of them are
obsessed with football, and I've never taken them to a
Steelers game and I will not and I'm sorry to
say that, but like that environment there is not it's
not even enjoyable for normal rational adults in my opinion,
like let alone kids that like it's insane.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
What what goes on those? And I'll tell you where
it gets really bad is at the bar. 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
beret bartenders. They're they're they're a holes to other people
online because they're already banged up.

Speaker 17 (57:44):
You know.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Now it's always kind of been like that if that's
not like a new behavior, but it is way more
widespread now. It's like you're expecting it, like, uh, we're
gonna run into some people here.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
But then all that this attention then rolls down hill,
like like if there's a tense situation in the stands,
it makes everyone around tense, and then there's more likelihood
for there to be little nodes of tension between other things,
and it's just like a big exponential like growth pattern.

Speaker 5 (58:14):
Well we know what the impetus for all this is.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I mean, social media has everybody in fight or flight,
and it's not even fight or flight. It's like fight
and fight. Yeah, let's do both. I mean I fight
and then run away from the top.

Speaker 7 (58:26):
I still feel like there's safe harbor times in the season,
and you know, to.

Speaker 6 (58:33):
Take your kids where it would be safe.

Speaker 7 (58:35):
Like I always take my kids to a preseason season games.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
We're okay.

Speaker 6 (58:39):
Those are seem seemingly like but uneventful.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
It's because there's nothing at stake, right, so like if
they lose this, 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.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Uh oh, yes too.

Speaker 7 (58:56):
I mean, if you go high enough up in the States,
somebody's punching somebody in the face.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
But it's usually like a certain age group that's responsible
for that behavior, right, isn't it like college and post college.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
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 the words were exchanged, fists were thrown,

(59:33):
then 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, Like we've all decided that that guy was
the problem.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Goodbye now, like you know, that's it. I do think
that it's still the minority of people obviously that behave
like that. And most of the time when someone 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

(01:00:11):
time when someone's misbehaving, everybody hates that person. It's not
like everybody's just like, yeah, this is how it is.
Most of the people hated yeah. But like I do
take solace in the fact that we're like looking around like, oh,
the guy sucks so bad.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
I wish somebody would shuck, But then what you what's
your what's your hope? You're hoping for a hero the
whole game.

Speaker 27 (01:00:31):
Someone and Jack's that jag off in the jaw. You're
just hoping that someone's just like, does this can this
guy's job?

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
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 guy
is unemployed, yes, yes.

Speaker 7 (01:00:52):
Fired on Friday.

Speaker 28 (01:00:53):
Here on Sunday, just again, you know, before and after
we should have x con like for bouncers who can
take shaved time off their sentences by being, you know,
a patrolman at the at the Steelers game.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
That makes me feel safe.

Speaker 7 (01:01:08):
Like an early season one o'clock game versus the Dolphin
or something. Is this 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 (01:01:25):
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. Blood. We think.

Speaker 6 (01:01:40):
Fans there with Miles Garrett.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Jersey exactly and also shed Or Sanders is now one
step away from the presidency, you know what I mean,
being under.

Speaker 6 (01:01:49):
Center, we could only be so lucky.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
I agree with you on that. And uh, we always
play them tough. It's always a one score game. I
mean we also have a ridiculous record own them here. Yeah,
but that being sad and Mike Tomlin coming off the
by is like ridiculous. That being said, it's still Steelers
Brown's AFC North Football. It's not. You know, the Ravens

(01:02:12):
rivalry really did sort of take over where the Browns
and Steelers left off before they left Cleveland. It never
I don't think he 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 DNA that this game

(01:02:35):
is a big time rivalry.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
I think you have the Miles Garrett slamming Mason with
with the helmet, the Miles Garrett T. J.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
Watt, Yes, sort of, and you got enough that that's there.
That's that rocket, no no doubt about it. Sunday one o'clock,
the kickoff, and you know, just try not to be
a jag. 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. Yeah,

(01:03:04):
but Raven's fans show up, oh yeah, except this year
they're not even showing up to M and T.

Speaker 5 (01:03:09):
So I'm not even sure.

Speaker 6 (01:03:11):
No, they hate their team right now.

Speaker 5 (01:03:12):
Yeah, if they'll, if they'll make the track this year.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
It's gonna be supposed to be a nice day, I
think on Sunday, isn't it abby?

Speaker 9 (01:03:18):
I'm pretty sure it is. I think it's gonna be
in the sixties and sunny.

Speaker 7 (01:03:20):
Yeah, well yeah, d I mean, how the game goes
definitely affects people's behavior. If it's twice and Sonny and
the Steelers are up, and things will be good.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
You see some soul foliage on Mount Washington. Just think
twice about about about getting into a fight.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
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 pee. Get get Warren
out of there to yeah, friends, he does what yeah,

(01:03:57):
and you so badly want to and again, never engage in,
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. Yes, right, they had
troughs in uh in Croke Park. Oh yeah, I did
not like it. Trough culture.

Speaker 6 (01:04:16):
Not a trough guy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Not a trough guy. Trough Like.

Speaker 9 (01:04:23):
All of the bathrooms in Dublin were so tiny. You
wouldn't have liked that either.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
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 the
meaning now that, now that I think about it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
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 you're a man. Every everywhere
is your urinal.

Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
Yeah, mister Wednesday, je concle, what are you coming up?

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
On Friday, I'm gonna be at Archies down in the
South Side with his one Berg comedy Tour eight o'clock
at Archie's on the South Side on Friday ten ten.

When the puck dropped last night at Madison Square Garden,
New Penguins head coach Damn You 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,

(01:05:59):
along with teenagers Ben Kendall and Harrison Brunick, but as
it turned out News was being practical, not trying to
put on a show on Broadway for openers.

Speaker 11 (01:06:10):
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,
you never know how it's going to go. If you
go back, Like in one of our later exhibition games,
you know, we end up you never know what. We
took a penalty and were you know, we're going for
four minutes. So like, you know, you just don't want

(01:06:30):
to leave things a chance, you know. 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.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
And so it kind of works out well to be
able to do that.

Speaker 14 (01:06:44):
Yeah, 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 2 (01:07:03):
Here's here's the victory lap here's the future sin in
some kids.

Speaker 14 (01:07:08):
Yeah, and uh it worked out three nothing over the Rangers.

Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
Really cool video.

Speaker 7 (01:07:13):
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 gotta be a thrill of.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
Your parents signed this permission, and mus was adamant that
that they earned it.

Speaker 14 (01:07:29):
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 2 (01:07:37):
Why not? Why not? Why do you even start Joe Flacco?
Just go killing game?

Speaker 14 (01:07:43):
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 2 (01:07:50):
And let's see what they got and maybe this will
inspire them to be better sooner.

Speaker 14 (01:07:53):
The real symbolic Gester I thought was starting R twos
ar Tours, Sea lobs and goal for 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

(01:08:16):
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 2 (01:08:24):
Goal and see whether that takes you. You were 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 14 (01:08:39):
Maybe hi'd your mistake. Yeah, I just I wonder whose
call that was. I wonder if Mwes has the lineup,
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 (01:08:56):
If he had a hand in it, I think it
would have been Dubis that, yeah, being you know, the
hand it would have been to not start Jarry. It
would have been to as Bill said, let's hide the mistake.
Let's let's not remind people, because.

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
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.

Speaker 6 (01:09:26):
But other than that, he's good.

Speaker 14 (01:09:29):
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. He's gonna say he looked like
he was more reactive last night than that style they
teach now where he just dropped down and try to

(01:09:49):
get big and let the puck hit you. He looks
like he was actually moving to make saves, which I
found refreshing because that's the way they used.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
To do it.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
What do you think of that ESPN production?

Speaker 14 (01:09:59):
That's fine, ye, 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 think Sean m He does
any sport, and he does it very well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Agreed. I was a fan of his dad too. 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 uh, thirteen guys who were in the

(01:10:29):
opening night line up last year were not this year
for various reasons. Uh, it is a different team. We'll
see if it's a better one.

Speaker 14 (01:10:37):
But an encouraging start last night Penn's Three Rangers Nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
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 like
accent just give you a very low key assessment of
what was going on. But he was always like brutally

(01:11:02):
honest and really really smart and a great writer.

Speaker 14 (01:11:05):
Too, great writer, Yeah, great writer and that, and looked
like the kind of writer I grew.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Up idolizing a goalie for a dartboard. Yeah, acting like yeah, he's.

Speaker 6 (01:11:16):
Yeah, I remember this. Dude, I just looked him up.

Speaker 14 (01:11:19):
Yes, Ilous thought Oscar Madison was more realistic of portrayal
than he's a slob David Credit. Yeah, depends the home open.
It'll be thirsty mess. Yeah, yes, yeah, against you more
than meets the guy, right, somebody you might not take
as seriously as you should after you read the Brilliance
book cover. Yeah, but man, he was he was old.

(01:11:41):
I mean he passed away in two thousand and three.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Yeah. Old Sean's really good. When I was a kid, though,
he was like on every Sunday.

Speaker 14 (01:11:49):
Steelers getting ready for the Browns on Sunday at Actors
your stay.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
And this one's going to leave a mark.

Speaker 6 (01:11:57):
That defense is real.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
You know.

Speaker 14 (01:11:58):
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. Despite
the implosion of the North, it's still early, man, It's
still and you guys know the division, particularly the Browns.

(01:12:19):
I mean, the Bengals appear to be an anomaly. They're
just not competitive. They had no offensive line. I don't
understand what they do there.

Speaker 7 (01:12:26):
I mean, well, I think getting a forty year old
and mobile quarterback will fix it.

Speaker 14 (01:12:30):
Well on their defense stinks, and I mean they did
better than this without Borrow before.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
This is weird, but it is weird.

Speaker 7 (01:12:38):
This crowning Browning has sucked.

Speaker 14 (01:12:41):
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 7 (01:12:48):
The one win they have is against Green Bay. A
lot of people are you know, super Bowl team.

Speaker 14 (01:12:53):
When they 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 going to play physical. Their defense is
the real deal, and they can run the ball. They're
running back Quinn Shawn Judkins out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Of Ohio State.

Speaker 6 (01:13:13):
He showed up.

Speaker 14 (01:13:13):
He's 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 eat in 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.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
But it is going to come. But what like bothers
me about it as they're talking about in the same
way he's talking about Rum and 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, etc. And it's like he that.

Speaker 6 (01:13:52):
Means his lights off and the story's finished.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Yeah, it means that they're like, eh, he's on his
last chance. But not Caleb. I think Roman Wilson is
definitely not what they were hoping for. Well, cald still
could be.

Speaker 14 (01:14:06):
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 and Austin. They've
changed their philosophical method of deploying these guys personality. They

(01:14:26):
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 going to 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.

(01:14:48):
And then when they go three to a lot, now
Scronica gets in a lot because of the run game.

Speaker 7 (01:14:53):
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 yeah, feature
the tight ends and do what.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
You gotta do.

Speaker 14 (01:15:08):
Right, They ran the ball against Minnesota and Cleveland's going
to be really hard to run against. But I can't
wait to find out if they can do it, because
if they can run.

Speaker 7 (01:15:17):
The bait offensive lineman, how many of this week? Whatever
it takes.

Speaker 14 (01:15:21):
A wise man once said, Yeah, that guy's name was
Chuck Noll, by the way, that was one of his catchphrases.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Whatever it takes.

Speaker 14 (01:15:27):
If they can run the ball against Cleveland, then you
know that offensive line is making significant strides.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
Steelers Browns one o'clock Sunday here on Dve Abbey.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Ideas on one oh two point five.

Speaker 9 (01:17:53):
DV it's football season, So how about not wasting another
Sunday feeling like you gotta clean the grass again. It's
abby and Pittsburgh Garage can add stunning shoot a back
from vacation.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
Joe Burrow's injury absolutely decimates the bengals chances. They decide,
if we can get Joe Burrow back with a chance
to get in the playoffs, we got to do everything
we can to make that happen.

Speaker 5 (01:18:20):
And so let's trade our sixth.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
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 I'm saying.
It's it looks like they're making an effort here, but

(01:18:44):
it's not exactly like bringing in Kirk Cousins to make
it happen.

Speaker 14 (01:18:47):
I mean, I think Flacco can still do some things,
but not behind that line.

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
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 (01:18:59):
That's why you wonder why you wouldn't have tried to
get maybe like a Jameis Winston in there. Uh, decision
making I guess questionable. Yeah, probably likely thrown it to
the other guys.

Speaker 6 (01:19:08):
Maybe they've seen too many interceptions already.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
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 seen whether or not
he'll get the number two over Shador.

Speaker 14 (01:19:29):
Yeah, he zapi will, I mean so funny. I can't
imagine he wouldn't. He's played.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
They won't put Shador Sanders at number two, that he's
STI gonna be the number three. I don't think that's
even a conversation.

Speaker 14 (01:19:40):
But you know, I don't know what they're talking about
that if I was making that call.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
Absolutely, Now the Browns don't have either of the two quarterbacks.
They spent their entire training camp working out. They're gone. God,
it's so funny, 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

(01:20:06):
Harmon back, it 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 14 (01:20:20):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
You know, he wasn't playing with the ones.

Speaker 14 (01:20:44):
He wasn't throwing to Jerry Judy, who's a really good
receiver and they just can't get him activated.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
Well, maybe that has something to do with the guy
that was open too for Dylan Gabriel. I don't know.

Speaker 14 (01:20:56):
Possibly, but Gabriel he was playing I don't want to
say not to lose, but he's playing safe and conservative. Yeah,
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 to throw it all over

(01:21:16):
the yard, and Judkins was he's just getting better every week.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Stefanski kind of mangled the end of that game, I thought, too,
clock management wise, Yes, he did.

Speaker 7 (01:21:26):
He also called Dylan Gabriel Tommy Callahan with how much
time he spent in college.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Because he was in college for like eight years, six years,
three schools.

Speaker 5 (01:21:39):
That's how they do it now. It's very strange to me.

Speaker 14 (01:21:41):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
Although it's funny fast, he's not quite as mobile the
pros as he was in college. No, but I wonder
why arch Manning isn't as mobile in college as he
was in high school.

Speaker 14 (01:22:06):
You know, the guys are a little bigger than 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

(01:22:27):
picked off. It looked like he missed that badly, which
surprised me.

Speaker 7 (01:22:33):
Yeah, Sam, there were a couple third down plays even
earlier in the game, like give you got a chance, man, Yeah,
Like don't don't just throw it out of bounce.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
Tomlin Is twenty six and six against rookie QBS.

Speaker 6 (01:22:46):
Four at home against the Browns.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Twenty one straight regular season games. There was that playoff
when the Browns.

Speaker 14 (01:22:53):
Had what was his last rookie QB game, Drake May alright, No,
he was rookie.

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:23:00):
Was it the guy with three names? Dorian Thompson Robinson
he was a rookie?

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
He wasn't.

Speaker 5 (01:23:07):
I didn't think he was. Well, they're fourteen and four
after the break.

Speaker 6 (01:23:10):
I mean that got Matt Canada fired after a bye.

Speaker 14 (01:23:13):
And I think this is a horrible scheduling disadvantage for
the Browns having to come back from London. Yeah, and
now the road games only Pittsburgh. It's not Seattle. But
having to play a road Division game after a European
game is that is no favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
Of Cleveland great Weather in all the sports back in action,
October is the best month period and with the Major
League Baseball playoffs in full roar last night, the Yankees
make a huge comeback off the ear the Aaron Judge
home run in the fourth.

Speaker 14 (01:23:44):
They were down six to one Randall after getting how's
the first two games?

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
So they got the stud the kid coming up tonight. Schlitler.
He's going to add to Jace to his list. You know,
people have been having trouble pronouncing his name. They had
and they were kicking it around on the post game
last night.

Speaker 6 (01:24:02):
Everything want to pronoun his last name?

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
You cut first, Slitler. Oh well, he's the master. Schlitler.

Speaker 29 (01:24:08):
Schlittler, you know, no, your turn, Hitler. Poppy, let's go
to get I'm poppy. You just call him Cam Cam Now.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
When he said that, Poppy, Kevin Burkhart, you just call
him Cam. It reminded me of the touch Ilkin and
Myron Cope back and forth about fuck here Brown?

Speaker 30 (01:24:34):
Who was that guy, the cornerback who allounded Faker Brown
thirty five?

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
Fucking fuck you Brown? Is that the guy that I have?
The guy right, thirty five? That's the Faker? You could
just call him Brown.

Speaker 14 (01:24:58):
Surely, always the professional trying to save Byron. Oh he's
by implying he said faker. Yes, when we all heard
what he said, A four leaved it.

Speaker 6 (01:25:08):

We have a little bit of ab nebby neighbor girl.
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, He's like, I forgot my folder, and I go,
you didn't forget your folder?

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
And he just looks at me and starts nodding.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
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. She already sees like through
the whole thing, but.

Speaker 5 (01:26:52):
She tried to get to the bottom of it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
I think we'll be okay today after everything, But it
was just it was it was a rough That's a
rough way to start the more of an hour and
a half sojourn to to and from an elementary school
trying to deal with that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
Again, job well done by you. I mean, that's a
parenting win. But I also started thinking.

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
I was like, I think the only reason I'm able
to parent effectively is because my job allows me to, Like,
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 message, I would be
booting him out the door with a steel toe shoe,
be like I gotta get out.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
The jobs.

Speaker 4 (01:27:28):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show. But you guys
are all of that parenting ilk. You guys all parent
in a way that is so different from the way
we were all parented, because at no point in if
I was a kid whining.

Speaker 5 (01:27:43):
About I don't when I go to school today, would.

Speaker 2 (01:27:45):
There have been any empathy or an attempt to understand.
It would have been like none of us want to
do anything we have to do today. Get your ass
out of the house, get in the car.

Speaker 9 (01:27:56):
There's something about that because you had so many siblings.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:28:00):
Two, I know that Edie is spoiled because she's the
only one. She gets all of my attention and all
of my damage. My perceived damage is that and and
this is of you know, no surprise to my sister.
My sister was a handful and so I my perceived

(01:28:21):
damage is that I did not get the attention that
I needed as a child, and so I lobbed.

Speaker 5 (01:28:27):
Because Abbie will take care of it herself. She's she's self.

Speaker 9 (01:28:29):
Sufficient, self sufficient both emotionally and otherwise. And so now
Edie gets all of the attention that she needs. So
now the problem is, I think she gets too much attention.
So now I've realized that my gentle parenting and attention
of her is backfired for me in a lot of ways.
So now sometimes I the pendulum swings violently. Where now

(01:28:54):
I go, I'll get on the boss, you know, because
like now I realize I'm a little too gentle, and
that doesn't for me either. So now I'm trying the
other the other side of the coin.

Speaker 7 (01:29:04):
I mean, this is a hot take, but number one,
there is no perfect way to parent. And number two,
the mistakes that you make as a parent actually benefit
your kid because then you've got something to figure out
in your life. Like we all have to unravel the
parenting that we received. Regardless of how good we're doing it,

(01:29:27):
our kids are going to have problems.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
Here's the difference. When you guys make mistakes as parents.
I think you own up to it and explain to
the kid, hey, I messed that part up, and this
is how we should actually go forward that Yeah, no,
it was like I screwed that one up.

Speaker 7 (01:29:47):
You know, Oh well, no, repair is definitely important. But
but I just think that, like, you know, my therapist
once said you could sit three kids down say the
exact same thing to all three of them, and you'd
get three different interpretations because it's not necessarily about what
you're saying, it's how they're hearing it. And so there's

(01:30:11):
you know, what you might think is perfect is your
idea of what it what it would have been cool
to have as a kid. But then this kid is
like I just got here. It's like I got a
big problem. I want to talk to the manager.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
I like you with a lot of pepper, I like
it with a lot of salt, Like, well, if I
like it with a lot of pepper, she'll like it
with a lot of pepper, right, uh huh.

Speaker 7 (01:30:33):
And so the the the idea of perfect is flawed
from the beginning because it's our preference not theirs, because
we like we have to basically humble ourselves, rip ourselves
back to the studs and be like, Okay, what.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
Did you need?

Speaker 7 (01:30:49):
What are what are your preferences here?

Speaker 9 (01:30:52):
But Jeff was right in how he was talking about,
you know, his kid didn't want to get on the bus,
and the best thing you can do is.

Speaker 6 (01:30:59):
Moved to Mount Lebanon because they don't have busses.

Speaker 9 (01:31:01):
Yeah, exactly, start there now, But do you almost have
to tear yourself down and remind them that you're also
a person and show them that, like, we should do
that crap too. Like the first thing I thought of,
because I did see Edie doing this, is that she
started going to the nurse for very non urgent things

(01:31:23):
during the school day. And I was like, and it
I forgot that I did it. But for a long stretch,
especially when I was in like a private Catholic school,
I did it every day.

Speaker 2 (01:31:35):
Oh yeah, like for for.

Speaker 3 (01:31:36):
A jag there.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
I did it every day where I was like, what
time is it. Oh, yeah, this is when I go
to the nurse's office.

Speaker 31 (01:31:43):
Because it was just a thing I did, right, And
so at some point, you know, I noticed that she
was doing it and I.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
Said to her, Hey, so yeah, I used to do
that move.

Speaker 9 (01:31:54):
That was like one of my specialties. And at the
core of it, it was because I felt like nobody
was paying attention to me. So you identified it, and
then she stopped because she was I was like, all
it does is you don't get your work.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
You don't get your work done, and then you got
a back up, and.

Speaker 9 (01:32:09):
Then all it does is, like you know, everybody starts
kind of like noticing, and then that people start making
fun of you. It's waste of time.

Speaker 7 (01:32:16):
Oh you took her all the way to the end
of that approach.

Speaker 31 (01:32:19):
Yeah, yeah, it just kind of blows up your We
had capital punishment in grade school and high school, so
I didn't screw around too much like where you would
get spanked, like there was a person that would spank
you and there was like a paddle in both places.

Speaker 7 (01:32:34):
Now the person who spanked you, that's not that wasn't
their only job.

Speaker 5 (01:32:38):
He had a leather mask.

Speaker 6 (01:32:39):
He came out.

Speaker 5 (01:32:42):
It would let him out of a closet. Zeke, come
on out all gag.

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
No, it was the It was the principal in my
middle school that did it. And and I got spanked
by one time, and I was like, Wow, he was
the I loved the guy.

Speaker 5 (01:32:56):
I thought he was so cool.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
And then when he spanked me because I don't remember
what I did, and I was just kind of like,
I mean, that's kind of messed up.

Speaker 8 (01:33:02):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Why are you gonna hit me like that?

Speaker 17 (01:33:03):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:33:04):
And then I always kind of felt like weird about
him after that. How couldn't you, Yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (01:33:07):
Mean you got spanked by a stranger.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
And then in high school, it was just like you
were constantly ducking like every kind of like the teachers
had cart pluanche and just beat us up. And it
was kind of funny almost, you know on pencils where
they still Yeah, I had to neelon pencils with bibles
no on both hands in front of the class. But

(01:33:30):
it was like you would like make a joke out
of it, like you'd be like, oh, yeah, I'll do this,
and you'd be like, ezy, this is Catholic. Yeah, and
they would be like, you know, sit there, bow him
in five more minutes. You know, I'd be like, I
could do it. You know, it would be kind of
funny in a weird way, but also you didn't want it,
but you get jacked up against the lockers and stuff
like that.

Speaker 9 (01:33:50):
What was the pencils thing?

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
Literally no, yeah, like it hurts eight pencils on each
and yeah, you.

Speaker 6 (01:34:02):
Wanted.

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
I think I remember why I had to do it
for that one. It was because I had we had
those desks that were metal underneath. You could put your
books in a little compartment under the desk, so it
was like a little open air open and I'm like, guys,
this is like an amplifier, you know, and so like
it was like one of those fart and you could
fart perfect, like if you leaned the right way on it,

(01:34:25):
it would make it like this huge metallic fart would.

Speaker 5 (01:34:31):
So like I took all the books out of it
and did one of those.

Speaker 9 (01:34:36):
I only had like a nun I think one year
of the Catholic school, and it was like super young.
I was like six years old, and I remember she
got really frustrated with me because of how many mistakes
I was making and we were writing with pencils, and
so she took my pencil away from me and cut

(01:34:56):
the eraser off and then handed it back to me
and told me to slow down, which was I was like,
you could have also just given me a yea, but yeah,
I don't have like a there was not other like
tales of abuse. You were afraid of them for different reasons,
but like you know, nobody was like violent.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
The kids don't have to contend with that now, no,
So that that's good. I feel like that's a step
forward my experience.

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
They have.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
Much different levels of concern. Yeah, that we never had
to contend.

Speaker 7 (01:35:28):
Well now like it's no longer.

Speaker 6 (01:35:31):
They're no longer in charge.

Speaker 7 (01:35:32):
Right, Like I'm I'm dating a teacher and the amount
of information that she receives just in terms of how
she has to treat the kids is different. Like the parents,
I don't feel like in this generation are on board
with giving permission. And this is just culturally I think,

(01:35:54):
like we used to be like, hey, my neighbor down
the street, you see my kid doing this, like them
around or scream at them, like that's not happening anymore.
The parents are yelling at the school for how they're
being taught or not taught or treated or whatever. There
is no more like the teachers have all the power,
you know. Yeah, they definitely did when I was a kid.

Speaker 6 (01:36:17):
I mean that they had no power.

Speaker 7 (01:36:18):
In my experience, like my, my, my experience at Rosenstein,
absolute nightmare. The teachers were terrified. I saw a teacher
get beat up. Yeah, that is awful, full.

Speaker 6 (01:36:28):
Blown beat up.

Speaker 7 (01:36:28):
Ye carrying like a box of doughnuts and just got
pump slammed by a dude from Homewood and all of
a sudden.

Speaker 6 (01:36:35):
There's just powdered sugar.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
All it's just a cloud of dust.

Speaker 5 (01:36:40):
We would like, you know, the difference between private and
public school.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
There were some teachers that you would not want to
get mad because they would be they would literally just
smack you. But there are other ones that you would
try to go into getting mad because it would be hilarious.

Speaker 6 (01:36:53):
Oh yeah watch them, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
Yeah, and they'd fling an eraser at you as hard
as they could, you know, like one of those big
ones just full of shops. They get mad. He was
like victory. We kind of deserved it. As my point,
there was.

Speaker 7 (01:37:09):
A teacher that we were convinced got struck by lightning,
because every time it rained, it seemed like she called
off and and people would bring it up to her,
and she used to flip out about that.

Speaker 6 (01:37:22):
There was a teacher who got gum thrown in his hair.

Speaker 2 (01:37:28):
Dude, our chemistry teacher, mister Hall. He got he got
a chainsaw kicked back at him and he had a
big scar on his lip because he got he got
hit in the chainsaw and happen no, no, no, he
literally happened to him. And but he grew a mustache
over it. But it had a line like over here
because he can't can't escape it. He would turn around,

(01:37:52):
this dude Joz would always be like just just trying
to pis him up, and he woul turn on. Keep
you on a smart blexy. Yeah, you see what happens
to you, all right, you know, and then you can
see you're like, okay' he's the temperatures rising right now,
and then fifteen minutes later, you're doing again one more times,
one more time, and then then by the end of
the class, he's shaking him in his desk because you're

(01:38:13):
like trapped in the desk. You know, you're the guys fay,
and then the rest of us would be dying, like
it's the funniest thing in the world. He made you
mad because you're an idiot.

Speaker 6 (01:38:25):
Oh, you're a moron.

Speaker 9 (01:38:27):
Just the difference between having the private Catholic school experience
and then when I was in sixth grade, we transferred
to Shayler like public school.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
So you're like, right around twelve and thirteen, the culture, Oh,
the culture shot.

Speaker 9 (01:38:43):
But then you're also like peak jerk, right, your hormones
are raging.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
You're starting to like everyone's a nightmare.

Speaker 9 (01:38:50):
Well, like you know, push against you know, any like
norms that you have, not only like societally, but also
your parents are getting into like you know, music differently,
you're finding your own things. But that was like to
your point, like, you know, I did not go to
a school like Riisenstein, but like it was the first
time I was seeing fights in school and was being
you know, having kids that like all of a sudden

(01:39:11):
want to kick your ass for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:39:13):
They're like what hell, yeah exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:39:16):
But my favorite like teacher classroom experience was somebody brought
in I don't I don't know how these exist, like
a stink bomb.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Oh, my god.

Speaker 9 (01:39:28):
Oh yeah, there was a Spanish teacher who was just
easily manipulated, and they put the stink bombs on the
floor because she used to walk up and down the aisles,
like around the desks, and it was just the tension
in the room of waiting her for her to walk
on this thing and just step on it, and everybody

(01:39:50):
like nobody paid attention to the whole class, and everybody's.

Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
Just like, oh, my gosh, you gonna don't walk.

Speaker 9 (01:39:54):
Walk around and all time, she finally stepped on it
and it happens, and then the whole class is just
a bomb. And the funniest thing about this woman was
that she was a Spanish teacher with a speech impediment.

Speaker 2 (01:40:12):
So you guys learn Spanish with a stutter. She couldn't
say no in Spanish correct.

Speaker 6 (01:40:19):
That's a big deal, and so what would she roll then.

Speaker 9 (01:40:24):
So when she stepped on when she stepped on the
stink bomb, she went, oh, I folks, you all think
that's really funny.

Speaker 2 (01:40:38):
You go to restaurants and then you're trying to order
in Spanish and they're like, we have a special men.

Speaker 3 (01:40:47):
You all like.

Speaker 9 (01:40:48):
Baby buds, And I'm always trying to feed you, but
I always have to and trying to make it go. Now,
what the hell is that?

Speaker 2 (01:41:00):
Oh see, that's a public school and private school, two
totally different experiences. Oh yeah, completely Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:41:08):
And now like it seems like none of that exists.

Speaker 6 (01:41:12):
But also there's crazier.

Speaker 7 (01:41:14):
Things that are happening now than much ever would have
been thinkable when we were in school. Yes, like everything
when we were in school, I consider more like petty
crimes totally, you know, like smoking weed in the machine
operations class because there was a welding booth that was
really made for like two or three people. And you
walk in at alder Dice and see eight sets of

(01:41:37):
legs in one booth. All right, well, I think I
know what's happening in that booth.

Speaker 5 (01:41:43):
Yeah, it's a different time. Well, it's suffice to say.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
The whole point of this was to say that I
think you guys all do a great job parenting in
a very very tough time, and you do it the
best way possible, you know, and you're not afraid to
make mistakes. Again, back in the day, people were too
concerned about it. There wasn't I don't think that parents
talked a lot about parenting you know, thirty years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:42:04):
No, But like my point in all of this is,
I don't know if it's any better. It's certainly different.
It's it's maybe a step above what we had, But
I don't, I don't. I'm not convinced we're not screwing
our kids up just as much in a different way.

Speaker 9 (01:42:19):
Well, I mean, I'll ask the I'll ask you this, Bill,
do you feel like that as a parent, that maybe
we've taken like the omnipotent, like kind of godlike status
out of what it means to be a parent? Like
do you feel like you speak to your children as
a person instead of like above them so much on

(01:42:42):
you know what I mean? Like, I I feel like
I I still am an authority figure to Eatie.

Speaker 2 (01:42:49):
I think you have to be.

Speaker 9 (01:42:50):
But I don't feel like I don't reveal myself, Like
I don't feel like I stand above her so much
that I won't cut down a lot of you know,
the I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly, but
you know, I will be revealing to her and to
kind of be self deprecating in a way so that

(01:43:12):
we can relate to each other.

Speaker 7 (01:43:14):
Yeah, I try to do that as much as I can,
but I still I still don't listen enough.

Speaker 6 (01:43:19):
I still like, I'm I'm still too much of.

Speaker 7 (01:43:23):
A a a guidance for them when they don't they
don't experience is really going to be their teacher at
this point. I mean, when once they're they're seventeen years old,
like you're not, they're not letting in any new information.
Their life experience is going to be the only teacher.
And that's that's kind of hard. That's a hard transition

(01:43:44):
for a parent.

Speaker 9 (01:43:45):
No, there's a couple of things that life just has
to kick your ass.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
A lot of my friends are becoming empty nesters like this.
This is the year that a bunch of my friends
became empty nesters. And the struggle is real. I mean,
it's hurting them. I feel bad for them in a way.
I'm like, isn't it awesome, Like you're free in a way,
and they're like, Nope, no, it sucks. That's a nightmare.

(01:44:11):
My sister so much that she like her three girls
are all now moved on, like her youngest just she's
going to UCLA, and the older one is already working
in Los Angeles, and the middle one is like I
think I'm gonna move there too. So my sister's like,
you know, I'm gonna get just a small place out there,
just so because I want to go. And I'm like,

(01:44:32):
you're moving there, You're just gonna follow them, Like you're not.
You're not going to stay in Chicago. You're gonna go
there because that's where they are. Like, no, I'm not
gonna be one of those moms. And I'm like, what
are you doing this weekend? She's like, I'm going to
Los Angeles. I'm like, oh, okay, well.

Speaker 7 (01:44:46):
This is this is My point is that you know,
in three generations, it went from like, you know, my grandparents,
I don't like neither of my grandfathers. I don't even
believe we're in the hospital when you know my grandmother
had right. My parents like they were like, all right,
we'll meet the kid in a couple of months and
just let me know what the name is or whatever.

Speaker 6 (01:45:06):
And then you're just like, all right, don't embarrass me.

Speaker 7 (01:45:10):
I hope you don't suck, but don't don't like, don't
trash the family name. And then the boomers are like,
all right, well we're gonna step it up a notch
from them, and like we're gonna encourage our kids to
be whatever they were gonna want to want to be.
But then that brought its own anxiety, and now we're
on our kids, like co piloting the whole thing, and

(01:45:31):
we're on their ride now. And so I'm not saying,
like my point is, I don't know that it's better.
It's definitely different, but I think we're victim of the
same thing that every generation is, which is the arrogance
to think that we could fix everything.

Speaker 2 (01:45:45):
Well, the one way I know things are different is
that we followed, especially my dad's lead, in terms of
like this is y'all watch this movie, and you should
do you know what I mean, This is what you
should be watching. If we were watching TV, would be
kind of like something he wanted, which was always funny. Yeah,
And now I think parents, like the kids kind of

(01:46:06):
dictate like music and the like the TV. They run
the entertainment in the house show, which was a little
different Like when my parents weren't there, obviously we did,
but when they were, it was like, we watch what
they wanted to watch.

Speaker 7 (01:46:22):
Yeah, no house full of adults. Yeah no, let's let's
see what Bluey's up to. What get Bluey the hell
out of the house. You get out of the house,
like everybody, get out of the house.

Speaker 2 (01:46:33):
But that's what you're involved in it, and you know it,
you know what I mean, Like Mike.

Speaker 7 (01:46:37):
I don't, but I don't know if the self awareness
is doing any good.

Speaker 2 (01:46:40):
But my mom would be like, walk into my room
and see an Iron Maiden poster and be like, oh
my lord, what if that you know, and be terrified
and say a novena, you know the devil is coming
for you.

Speaker 9 (01:46:53):
It doesn't like I have an Iron Maiden silk flag
in the garage. And she's like, I don't like that.
I'm like, well, I don't like.

Speaker 2 (01:47:00):
You sometimes get used to it, that's Eddie, He's fine, Yeah,
don't you worry about it? Yeah no, Yeah. The specter
of rock and roll, like the old school trope of
like this is the Devil's music was very much a
part of my mom and grandmother, like their concerns for
her grandkids. My grandmother was so convinced, and she was

(01:47:22):
like a wild, crazy Irish lady. But she thought that
because the preachers told her that rock and roll was
ruining our souls, which only made us all dig in
even more.

Speaker 5 (01:47:31):
I've told you before.

Speaker 2 (01:47:32):
She made us listen to the tapes of led Zeppelin
back masking, and she's like, they are giving you secret
devil messages. And if you've ever heard that, you know,
the back masking on Stairway to Heaven, it's like sweet Satan,
power Satan. It's like so indiscernible. And even at that

(01:47:53):
age we were like, Grammy, you know you would have
to do how hard it would be to write a
song it said Satan backwards.

Speaker 5 (01:48:02):
It's just happening though you don't understand. They're not trying,
and it's just implicit because it's the.

Speaker 2 (01:48:06):
Devil's music, you know, Like I don't know, you get
hammered and smoke cigarettes and play Jim Rummy. Man got
to be like, maybe there's something in there you should investigate. Anyways,
the Steelers and the Browns take the field Sunday, one
o'clock at Akerscher Stadium. It's give me a barn burner,
you know, throw the records out the window. Dylan Gabriel

(01:48:30):
behind center.

Speaker 6 (01:48:31):
I really think it's going to be a barn burner.

Speaker 2 (01:48:34):
Barn burner would indicate like a high scoring back and forth.
I think it's going to be like high tension sixteen
to twelve.

Speaker 6 (01:48:41):
Okay, palpitations, Len know.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
That's kind of what I say. We'll talk to Alvarro
Martine from the Steeler Spanish broadcast, the host of El
Parcas in Machilado, and he's the best man. This guy
is really well versed to He did like twenty some
super bowls for ESPN to Portetion, PFTY, Common are coming

They had a bunch of transactions like that, but it
added up to three nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
For openers last night.

Speaker 14 (01:50:38):
The Pends didn't necessarily make a statement against Mike Sullivan's
Rangers at Madison Square Garden, but they established a baseline
that's encouraging moving forward. Here's the new head coach, damn use.

Speaker 11 (01:50:52):
Yeah, I think they Uh, I think they were ready
to show up when they wanted so I thought they
thought they to a man that they didn't. They did
a great job. You know, I thought for the first
game of the season. I just like the fact that,
you know, to walk out of there, we get the
job done. But you know, you can look around the
locker room and really feel like, you know, to a man,

(01:51:12):
everybody did something there to contribute tonight. And so yeah,
if we're going to start that way, and that's going
to be the base we're going to build off of.
Like that's what I learned tonight. I'm excited about building
with these guys.

Speaker 7 (01:51:24):
I don't think that lineup would have looked anywhere near
what it was last night if Sally was still the coach.
I think that these veteran coaches lean towards the veterans
and they've been there, done that guys. I mean Sullivan
when he first came in. That that's one of the
shining examples of why it worked early on.

Speaker 14 (01:51:42):
Yeah, but you know, he coached all those guys at
Wilkesbury and then he played them. Why he went away
from that is beyond me, because he won cups doing that,
and then he got to a point where he didn't
trust young guys anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:51:54):
Well, I don't know he'd have a choice with this
lineup right now.

Speaker 14 (01:51:57):
Well that's a good point too. What really struck me
about that game and just listening to damn use leading
up to it, listening to a few interviews. I didn't
go to any practices or anything in training camp. But
this is a team that's gonna have to do it
by the numbers. You know, Penguins fans got used to
for a number of years, and when I say a
number of years, I mean decades. Okay, they screwed that up,

(01:52:20):
but the star power is such that somebody will just
do something magical and that'll make up for it. Well,
you don't have magical anymore, so you can't get stuff away.
You got to play the game by the numbers. You
got to do it like all those other sloves have
been doing it all. You know, it's not going to
be pretty, it's not going to be real exciting, but
it's going to be a you know, a game by game,

(01:52:42):
period by period, shift by shift battle to just don't
screw it up first and foremost and then see if
you can be opportunistic. And that's what they were on
the face off play last night. The Rangers screwed up
the defensive bumbers left the guy wide open in front
of the goal, and he scored. Justin Brazil, I mean,

(01:53:02):
an easy way for us to learn your name is
score a couple of goals. So yeah, then he got
an empty netter and they got another empty nettter. But
uh yeah, it's they're just gonna have to work for
their for their wins, and they're gonna have to play
the right way another sullivanism. Right, they stopped doing that
a long time ago too, maybe they can start again.

Speaker 2 (01:53:20):
It's fun to.

Speaker 14 (01:53:21):
Watch and the goalie. Uh full marks to dann Use
for starting Archers Se Lobs, that crazy Latvian kid.

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
Didn't we eat Sea Lobs over in Dublin.

Speaker 6 (01:53:34):
We did. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:53:34):
Appetizer home opener and Thursday night against the Islands are
pretty encouraging stuff from the Pens. Mike Tomlin is encouraged
about the possibilities of Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter and Jalen
Warren playing Sunday against Cleveland. Really encouraged is how Tomlin

(01:53:55):
categorized what he's anticipating from those guys. Calvin Austin and
Jalen Ran are banged up. Tomlin said yesterday He's quote
encouraged about the potential of those guys, but we'll take
it certainly day by day.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
That means nothing. I wouldn't count on seeing out of
one of those guys. I actually don't want but to
see them. I mean, I do want to see them,
but I don't want to rush them back to get
them healthy. We should be able to win this game
without them this weekend. Not that it will be easy, no,
but we still should be able to win the game.
But not that it would be easy with them. But yeah,
I agree with all of that.

Speaker 14 (01:54:29):
Interesting in the Cleveland's defense is really good, Minnesota's defense
was really good, and Minnesota's kind of signature under Brian
Flores is the amount of different schematics and how diverse
and complicated and potentially confusing it is for the other team.
Cleveland just lines up and hits you in the face.
Miles Garrett has gotten some pub over the years for

(01:54:51):
moving up and down the line. I was real interested
in seeing how he played against the Vikings. He was
on right defensive ent most of the entire time, played
a few snaps on the left, but almost always on
the right.

Speaker 6 (01:55:05):
I expect that again this week, and when he.

Speaker 2 (01:55:07):
Did go to the left. He stayed there. It wasn't
like a down by down Where's Waldo.

Speaker 7 (01:55:11):
Thing, which I think he's going to be playing a
game called Where's bro Derek?

Speaker 14 (01:55:15):
Yeah, but you know what he was playing Darisaw against
the Vikings. He's a really good left tackle and he
stayed there, and he was winning more than he was losing.
I mean, he was getting chipped and he was getting
double teamed.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
This is where our forty one year old quarterback becomes
a concern.

Speaker 4 (01:55:30):
To me.

Speaker 2 (01:55:31):
That's more chuck and duck man.

Speaker 14 (01:55:32):
And it's critical to run the ball and stay out
a third and long got to stay ahead of the chains.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
Again. Well, yeah, assuming Jalen Warren is healthy enough to go,
which it looks like that's the case. And given what
you saw from Kenneth Gainwell and his ability to you know,
be more than one dimensional, which is how we had
him painted prior to that, we being us. Yeah, yeah,
that dealer there. You know, I think they might be

(01:56:01):
able to pound them enough to finally make a dent
in the running game. It might not happen right away,
but you gotta stick with it. Might be ten seven
with a bunch of puns. Well that's what I said,
sixteen to twelve or something. You know, it's like you
got and you gotta keep doing it. And it's not
the most fun way to watch the game. But hunting
is not a bad thing in this game. Turning it

(01:56:21):
over is bad. Third and sixteen is bad. It's like
the most damage you feel like the Browns will be
able to do will be defensively because they might be
able to get a turnover or force field position flip
and you know what I mean, Like, I'm not worried
when they have the ball in their own end as
much as I am I'm concerned about whether or not
they can run.

Speaker 5 (01:56:41):
It because if they can't, yeah, of course I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:56:45):
Man, give like Coleholcom has stepped up big time. But
you know, Harmon being in there and being one week
more acclimated and he's a bleep disruptor from the get go,
and also.

Speaker 5 (01:57:01):
What you might call it Keunu Benton, like showing that
he can career.

Speaker 2 (01:57:10):
To affect the game and maybe they use him a
little bit differently than just being like, well, you're a
nose tackle, take on a double team.

Speaker 14 (01:57:16):
He can't well and he you know, he doesn't have
to is often with Harmon and Hayward out there, right. Yeah,
that's what Cleveland's got going on. That just Garrett, but
their draft pick out of Michigan, Mason Graham, really good
defensive tackle, and he gets a lot of double teams.
And then Garrett gets chipped by the tight end and
maybe chip by the back, and then he's got to

(01:57:37):
go through an offensive line and sometimes he gets double teams.

Speaker 5 (01:57:40):
How many players Darnel Washington gonna get on Sunday?

Speaker 2 (01:57:43):
Whole bunch, Ye, whole bunch.

Speaker 14 (01:57:46):
The other thing that's interesting about Cleveland's defense is they
have two really good corners. Denzel Ward is by far
the best one, and then Greg Newsom's really good.

Speaker 2 (01:57:54):
They play left and right, they.

Speaker 14 (01:57:55):
Don't follow, and they did the same thing that justin
Jefferson where whoever's got him has him. He had another
hundred yard game and made some ridiculous catches.

Speaker 5 (01:58:05):
Like those guys both had big games.

Speaker 2 (01:58:07):
Addison and Jefferson Against those two, I really thought they
were gonna slow them down more than they did.

Speaker 14 (01:58:12):
Jefferson did most of his damage out of the slot.
The slot guy's number twenty six Harden in like regular Nickel,
and then number five is the safety nickel when they
go three safeties and both of those guys can be.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
So they put DK out of the slot again as
much as they did against Jenkins. Is the safety number five. Yeah,
DK got to meet the slot. All right. We're gonna
do a quick break. WA's award cover Roman Wilson, Alvaro
Martin joining us when we come back. And we had
just a great time meeting him in Dublin and you've

Yeah, he knows his stuff, man, and Abby's got your

right now, host of L podcast in Machilado.

Speaker 5 (02:00:57):
It is our friend Alvarro Martin.

Speaker 2 (02:01:00):
Ah, good morning, buddy, How are you very very well?

Speaker 17 (02:01:04):
Gentlemen?

Speaker 15 (02:01:04):
Last time I saw you, you were smiling. You were
sort of in a haze in a rooftop of the
Fitzpatrick Pub in Dublin, Ireland, and your grins went from
ear to ear.

Speaker 17 (02:01:16):
That's all I have to say.

Speaker 5 (02:01:17):
Well, we were drunk.

Speaker 7 (02:01:18):
Yeah, I didn't want to say that.

Speaker 3 (02:01:21):
I didn't want to say that.

Speaker 7 (02:01:22):
Thank you, still smiling even when you bring it up.

Speaker 2 (02:01:25):
Yeah, just the memory of that one brings back the smiles.
Because the Steelers got out of there with a win.
Plus that I mean, we have been talking about it
NonStop and even though we're ten days out from that,
it bears repeating how amazing that scene was at Croke Park.

Speaker 17 (02:01:43):
You know, I had conversations with people.

Speaker 15 (02:01:45):
Obviously I kind of cover the international side of things
a little bit more than you guys would. But the
NFL can always go to a country that's big, huge
and try to activate that market. But if you go
and I'm going to quote what happened in South Paulo,
if you go to a.

Speaker 17 (02:01:59):
City where the deem taels, you do not leave the hotel.

Speaker 15 (02:02:03):
It's just kind of like not safe. Do not leave
the hotel at all for any reason. And so you
come in, you land, go to the hotel, go to practice,
back to the hotel, game over, you get in the flight,
you fly back, were you there? Did your players get
to see that city? Will they be looking forward to
the next international trip. Dublin was a great city that way, fabulous,

(02:02:27):
fabulous and welcoming, spoke the same language that always helps
God and just well. I remember seeing on Saturday afternoon
seeing Cam and Broderick Jones walk the streets of Dublin,
and I think that's what the league wants in the end,
to some extent, the ability.

Speaker 2 (02:02:48):
Thompson, But yes, well, that was on Friday night.

Speaker 17 (02:02:52):
We don't know the details of that.

Speaker 15 (02:02:53):
We'll never know maybe, but hopefully he's doing all right.

Speaker 5 (02:02:56):
Yeah, I think he's doing okay.

Speaker 2 (02:02:59):
One thing you said to us that was first down
was going to be a big signifier for how things
would go for the Steelers on both offense and defense,
And all of a sudden they did become, you know,
run disruptors there with ken O, Benton and Derek Harmon
having big days and the secondary came up big too.
But really the play of that defensive line, we're going

(02:03:20):
to need that against the Browns on Sunday.

Speaker 17 (02:03:23):
Oh, without a doubt.

Speaker 15 (02:03:25):
You know, the rookie running back is just getting started.
The As Mike Tomlins said earlier this week, the interior
of that line is as good as it gets in
the NFL. I think the edges, the tackles are a
little bit iffy, but those guards and center devastating it difference.
I think it's been Derek Harmon, that double team that
would sweet Keanu off his spot is a little harder

(02:03:48):
to play when you've got to deal with Harmon and
Keano then becomes what he really is built to be,
which is a penetrator. And disruptor, to hold the point
of attack with his weight and his to ask him
to do something he really it's the second or third
best thing he can do. You're gonna put him in
a very difficult spot. But with Harmon there in the

(02:04:08):
moment Harmon shows up, Keanu was released. That's Keanu.

Speaker 17 (02:04:12):
That's what he can do. And it's a beautiful thing
to see.

Speaker 15 (02:04:15):
Not that Derek simply holds the point of attack and
just does nothing, but imagine against the double team, he
breaks through, slaps at balls, perris quarterbacks, sacks quarterbacks.

Speaker 17 (02:04:28):
Against the double team. That's really unusual.

Speaker 15 (02:04:31):
So you've got him, You've got Can on the other side,
Kean in the middle, and then you've got the Shawn Elliott,
who is the best surest tackling in the Steelers possibly
in the NFL, the quarterback of that secondary.

Speaker 17 (02:04:44):
He barks at people all the time. He's very vocal.

Speaker 15 (02:04:47):
He came over with us to Mexico and a visit,
and you can tell that he's he kind of he
sees an environment, he aims to control it, he aims
to sort of set it right in his view.

Speaker 17 (02:04:59):
And and that's the kind of player he is.

Speaker 15 (02:05:02):
And add to that he's the best tackler, and then
you begin to see how the job of the line
defensive line is so good that the guys in the
tackling list that shoot up on that list are the linebackers.
And that's when you know Pitcher's doing really well. So
it's a joy to watch. Now they're gonna give up yards.
This team is going to give up yards for a

(02:05:22):
lot of different reasons. Particularly I think that the secondary
doesn't have any speedster to keep up with a speeding
wide receiver, so they're gonna give up yards. But I
think when the when, when the when things get tight
in that red zone, and this Serre's gonna always be
pressuring you.

Speaker 17 (02:05:40):
They are going to take the ball away from you,
as they.

Speaker 15 (02:05:43):
They have in the last couple of games and will
probably continue to do so.

Speaker 17 (02:05:46):
So it's just a fun group. It's a very different
tempo of a defense.

Speaker 15 (02:05:51):
They blitz about a third more than they did last year,
in other words, or back to what they were in
the nineties and early odds.

Speaker 17 (02:06:00):
But they're gonna give up yards, and so you need
to deal with that as a fan.

Speaker 15 (02:06:03):
The ball's gonna move you just you just know that
this is gonna be there when it counts and maybe take.

Speaker 14 (02:06:09):
The ball away a bar of Calvin Austin doesn't play.
How do you see them reacting to that?

Speaker 2 (02:06:16):
Uh? Roman, Wilson gets his chance, more tight ends, more
running the ball. What's what's what's the potential fix without Austin.

Speaker 10 (02:06:25):
I'd like to.

Speaker 15 (02:06:25):
See where this jumbo package goes, because it's a it's
a double edged sword.

Speaker 17 (02:06:30):
If it gets you.

Speaker 15 (02:06:30):
Six yards per play on a running play, great right
third and short, that's when Aaron can be devastating.

Speaker 17 (02:06:38):
Devastating third and short.

Speaker 15 (02:06:39):
You're asking, you're putting Aaron in the best spot possible
to recavoc.

Speaker 17 (02:06:44):
On the other hand, you're taking away.

Speaker 15 (02:06:46):
The possibility of exploding, which you can anyway because the
line won't hold hold the line for Aaron to really
step back and have time to throw and watch rest develop.
So it'd be interesting to see how much they use
they use that that because I think it's a bit
of a crutch. It's effective, it's great, it can lead
to great things, but it requires a lot of plays.

Speaker 17 (02:07:07):
It requires a series.

Speaker 15 (02:07:08):
Of eight, ten eleven plays, and you know at some
point someone's gonna screw up. You get a penalty and
they're you know, in comes to punting teams now, in
terms of Calvin and.

Speaker 17 (02:07:16):
The offense, they don't have time to throw.

Speaker 15 (02:07:20):
I think he had two point sixteen seconds to throw
on average in Dublin.

Speaker 17 (02:07:25):
I mean, it's just gonna be a.

Speaker 15 (02:07:26):
Lot of screens, a lot of routes, zero route throws
right to the sideline real quick and then do your thing.
In other words, Calvin's ability to stretch a field is
limited because the ball's not gonna not gonna be held
enough for him to separate and really go deep. So
it's to me you won't miss him as much as

(02:07:48):
far as Rowan goes. And he apparently is the one
of the two players that Mike Thomas mentioned would be
the one taking up the slack. He's a great guy
in Michigan. I think eighty nine percent of the passes
that he received produce a first down. Think about it,
nine out of ten, whether it was a third down
or not. I mean, he's terribly effective that way.

Speaker 17 (02:08:11):
But Aaron Rodgers is a different quarterback.

Speaker 15 (02:08:14):
And with Aaron you have to be literally sort of
telephorting yourself. Your mind and his have to meld, and
if you don't follow your instincts, don't do what Aaron sees.
He won't throw you the ball, and so I think
I think Roman's challenge is to really get into the
mind of Aaron asked, and hey, this situation that this happened,

(02:08:35):
what are you looking at? What am I looking at?
We need to get on the same page the moment
they do. I think he's going to be effected. I
hope it happens a Sunday.

Speaker 7 (02:08:44):
Do you think that he's gonna leap frog John U
and Mooth? Because to me, there's a lot of meat
left on that bone. I mean that those guys are
not getting involved in the way that we all expected
at the beginning of the season.

Speaker 17 (02:08:58):
Clearly, and it's that's been a bit of a surprise,
but it comes from the line not being what they
thought that it would be.

Speaker 15 (02:09:04):
And so now you have to bring Darnell on just
about every play, forty eight plays in Dublin, and then
you got to bring in Spencer on nineteenth place, and
it cuts down the reps for firing with what fifteen
I mean, guy, you're paying fourteen million dollars a year
with fifteen places in the game and a guy who's
capable of catching balls, really not catching having a lot

(02:09:25):
of targets. So I think my thought is it depends
on what Arthur wants to do and what he believes
the matchup will be against the Browns. One thing about
the Browns. Greg newsom normally thought of by Pittsburgh fans
because they they see him twice a year as a
pretty good corner.

Speaker 17 (02:09:43):
It's having a tough year and he's being targeted, and
so it'd be interesting to see there's a guy where.

Speaker 15 (02:09:50):
You think, depending on your lineup, you could find a
matchup that says, Okay, let's go after him with Firemors,
Let's go after him with John and see what happens.

Speaker 17 (02:09:58):
So I think the matchups will dictate how much they play.

Speaker 15 (02:10:02):
One thing about Putt Friarn was with the notable, huge
and terrible exception of having that field goal blocked in
Dublin when.

Speaker 17 (02:10:11):
He just whiffed. He just forgot we have to block.
He's blocking the best he's blocked in the NFL.

Speaker 15 (02:10:17):
He according to some people who track these things, he's
the second or third best pass blocker and run blocker.

Speaker 17 (02:10:25):
For the Steers this year.

Speaker 15 (02:10:26):
That's incredible that that's not what he's known for but
I think he senses that if I want to be
on the field and they're not going to throw me
passes or as many as I thought I would be,
then I better do something. And I think it has
to be noted that bad Frin, with the great notable
exception of that whiff on that field goal, is actually

(02:10:47):
blocking the best he's blocked in the NFL in his career,
and good for him.

Speaker 17 (02:10:51):
I mean, he needs to show them. I think there's
a lot of doubt that you can do that.

Speaker 15 (02:10:54):
We'll keep doing it and you'll they'll they'll keep putting
them on the field.

Speaker 2 (02:10:58):
Lamar Martin, the Spanish broadcaster host of L podcast in Maculado,
And do you think we're going to end up in
Mexico City in the future.

Speaker 17 (02:11:07):
Yes.

Speaker 15 (02:11:08):
And the conundrum for the Steelers right now is things
went so well in Dublin. They've got Germany as a
global market, and of course they've got Mexico as their
long standing global market. The game in Dublin was moved
from Mexico City. That game was meant to be played
this year in Mexico City. AFC teams like the Steelers

(02:11:30):
can move a home game on odd numbered years so
the next time would be twenty twenty seven. I don't
think an NFC team would be fullish enough in twenty
twenty six to bring in Pittsford as a visiting team
because it'll be a Steelers home game. Yeah, so I
think it would have to wait Washington twenty twenty seven.
Is Mexico because it's two, or Germany because it hasn't

(02:11:51):
had one, or Dublin because we want to keep it going.

Speaker 17 (02:11:54):
And we had such a great time.

Speaker 15 (02:11:55):
So I think the answer to that question will be
Mexico has to kind of get its act together. The
people that own the stadium, it's the largest TV network
in Mexico. They have an exclusivity deal with the NFL.
They can't move the game to another stadium anywhere in Mexico.
It's that stadium or bust. We've had two incidents now
where the city wasn't ready for an NFL game and

(02:12:18):
you can't move the game in Mexico. So they've got
to get their act together and they need to be
welcoming to the NFL. I mean, I think Dublin said
a high standard. It's a smaller city, of course.

Speaker 2 (02:12:30):
But Dublin was one hundred percent ready for So. I
mean that was as you you know, colored it earlier.
I mean it was like just walking into the biggest
here we go. It's an NFL weekend and it was
just in another country. And embrace the international feel of
that while still retaining the vibe of an NFL Sunday

(02:12:53):
is something that I'll never forget.

Speaker 17 (02:12:56):
Absolutely.

Speaker 15 (02:12:56):
And the city small, They've got about a million people
within city limits, surrounded by countryside. It's really tightly yeah,
you know, laid out, but the bars were activated, the
colors were there, Yeah, murals activated. People knew in Ireland.
People knew the best thing I took away. As I'm
checking out of my hotel twenty five minutes away from downtown,

(02:13:19):
a young lady checking us out said, I said.

Speaker 17 (02:13:22):
You watched foot Poat goes, oh, yeah, yeah, and who
do you watching?

Speaker 15 (02:13:25):
Because why I watch the Steelers, I said, But how casually?
She goes, Well, I used to watch them cash I
knew they were coming. But now that they're here and
I know that's seen a couple of games, I.

Speaker 17 (02:13:37):
Root for them. They're the underdogs. They don't get anything easy.
We relate to that. I'm a Steelers fan.

Speaker 2 (02:13:45):
Oh, I love that. I love that. Alvaro, thank you
so much for your time, man, appreciate it. I hope

News This hour brought to you by Better Call Sides.

a high of sixty eight and if you miss it.
In Bonnie Diver's report, apparently there's a cow somewhere on
seventy nine between Cranberry and Evan City and state troopers
are directing traffic, So.

Speaker 6 (02:16:16):
Don't hit the cow.

Speaker 9 (02:16:17):
Don't hit that cow.

Speaker 2 (02:16:18):
Why don't we move it in the road, all right?

Speaker 9 (02:16:24):
North Carolina's previously planned season long documentary with Hulu has
been scrapped, according to a report from Inside Carolina on Tuesday,
October the seventh, But the news comes as the Tar
Heels are mired in a struggle field debut season under Belichick,
who has no previous college coaching experience before accepting the

(02:16:45):
job last December. The documentary series, which would have offered
a behind the scenes look at the program, was originally
announced in August, with the typically dowur Bill Belichick saying
at the time that he was excited about the opportunity.
The Hulu project was North Carolina's second attempt at turning
Bill Belichick's first season into streaming content. Targets were originally

(02:17:11):
going to be featured on an off season version of
the acclaimed Hard Knock series, but shortly before NFL Films
and HBO were set to announce the agreement, Belichick's girlfriend,
Jordan Hudson demanded content approval and partial ownership of the show.
Balls Amazing, and that was according to a report in

(02:17:32):
May from The New York Times. Shortly after that request
was made, NFL Films, which had a long standing working
relationship with Belichick from his days as an NFL coach,
nixt the venture.

Speaker 2 (02:17:43):
So everybody's jumping off understandably. It is a it's an embarrassment,
you know. Someone commented yesterday, like, when is some North
Carolina heavy hitter alumni going to come in and just
buy this guy out of his contract. The only guy
I can think of to do that would be Jordan
and I think they're so. I don't think that that's
going to happen.

Speaker 6 (02:18:01):
Nope, he's probably just betting against him every week.

Speaker 5 (02:18:06):
He's like, why would I get rid of the cash?

Speaker 6 (02:18:08):
Yeah, this is money for me.

Speaker 5 (02:18:10):
But I don't think anybody thought it was going to
be this bad.

Speaker 2 (02:18:14):
I thought he was going to have a tougher time
because of nil It. It would take away some of
his recruiting responsibilities, which I thought he would just wouldn't do,
and they would buy enough players to make it not embarrassing.
But add in the girlfriend factor, and what a complete disgrace.

(02:18:36):
His behavior has been like just being led around by
the hood by her and the embarrassment of the product
on the field. To boot, it's just compounded the embarrassment
for the university, which was already kind of catching some
flak forgiving him as much money as they did to

(02:18:56):
come there, thinking like he'll be our saviors. Like really,
I mean, he's in his seventies and his best days
are long behind him.

Speaker 9 (02:19:05):
At this point, do you think it's blackmail for her? Like,
because she's now damaging his career, Like she's on the field,
He's losing opportunities now, right, So not only is he
proving to not be a good fit for this football program,

(02:19:26):
but like he's losing TV deals, he's losing merchandising deals.
She's been a sucubis for him, so like those.

Speaker 5 (02:19:35):
Are her deals though you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (02:19:37):
I know, but doesn't mean the money.

Speaker 5 (02:19:38):
He doesn't care.

Speaker 2 (02:19:39):
Their relationship is hurting his legacy.

Speaker 6 (02:19:42):
But it's it's an infomercial for the power of the woman.

Speaker 2 (02:19:47):
It really is that thing you guys got. I don't
know what it is.

Speaker 9 (02:19:52):
Oh no, stop it at some point, like why else
he has can't be that good his best days.

Speaker 7 (02:20:00):
She wasn't alive, she wasn't on this earth. They have
nothing to talk about they've never seen the same shows.

Speaker 5 (02:20:08):
They like you like Mannix.

Speaker 7 (02:20:11):
You know she's into reality. He's a football dork.

Speaker 2 (02:20:14):
Did you ever see the Rifleman?

Speaker 7 (02:20:16):
I mean, I don't know, Well, what is it if
not that dude?

Speaker 5 (02:20:21):
He's dying with a smile on his face. That's what
this is.

Speaker 2 (02:20:24):
I can't I'm just why.

Speaker 7 (02:20:26):
Die in public? Why not go off and die in private?

Speaker 2 (02:20:31):
And Nantucket, I think there is a narcissistic element to him,
for for him in all of this, you know what
I mean, where he just thinks he really is that infallible.

Speaker 7 (02:20:43):
Maybe, but he's showing his ass and his.

Speaker 33 (02:20:47):
Boobs little honkers, dude, he had a bigger bra size
than your lady, and you stink at football.

Speaker 2 (02:20:58):
It's substantial.

Speaker 9 (02:21:00):
I just keep thinking, again, I understand what you're saying.
And maybe it is that he is the hubris here
is just so massive that he can't see how damaging
it is to his legacy. But I just keep thinking
that She's like, Okay, now, if you break up with me,
I am going to tell everybody how we met.

Speaker 5 (02:21:21):
Oh yeah, hookers dot com.

Speaker 9 (02:21:23):
H for crying out loud because I can't make sense
of it anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:21:27):
Well, I will say this.

Speaker 2 (02:21:28):
The other dumb thing he's done is completely shut off
his connection to the Patriots legacy by holding this grudge
against them. He doesn't have something to fall back on
when this inevitably completely collapses underneath him. Oh yeah, because
he could always be like my on they loved me
in Boston. Now actually they kind of don't right now.
PFT comment are brought to you by Yingling. How sad

(02:21:51):
are you that they canceled that Hulu series on this
season's NFL or North Carolina tar Heels football program.

Speaker 10 (02:22:01):
The tar Heels Hard Knocks, the Tark Doocks. I am.
I think that we all need to take a step
back here and realize that this is another uh stunning
marketing move by Jordan. She has now created an insane
demand for whatever program or our company wants to step
up and pay for the next iteration of this documentary.

(02:22:23):
It's now been canceled twice, and now all we want
is the footage from this because I'm sure it's going
to be compelling, fascinating. He's doing a great job. This
is this is what Bill brought her in for us,
for her for her brain.

Speaker 5 (02:22:35):
Okay, I I hadn't found out the fact that she
might own it.

Speaker 10 (02:22:39):
She might own the footage, she might have the IP
to it. Yeah, you never know. Uh, I'll tell you this,
I really want that footage. We said on part of
my take this morning that we will we will gladly
air this documentary. Uh if we can get her hands on.
Because the footage is out there, anybody wants to leak
it to us, we are we are completely fine with

(02:23:00):
opening up drop box plank using a secure email address.
It's it's not gonna be a problem if you want
to be with the h I got to see what's
going on behind the scenes here because it's it sounds
like it's a train wreck, and I want to see
every single second of it. And our good friend Tom
Fernelli pointed out that, uh, it's not We can't call
it a documentary if it doesn't if the behind the

(02:23:23):
scenes go well and they decide to just never air
the footage, that's not what a documentary is. This was
they're trying to do a commercial for North Carolina football.
I understand that that's it. I think a lot of
people have completely we've forgotten what documentaries are in the
last like, I don't know five years. I feel like
it's since the Last Dance came out, which, uh, you know,
had had some behind the scenes bias. It had some bias,

(02:23:47):
but I even feel like the Last Dance was like,
you know, they showed a lot of the dirty stuff.
They showed a lot of the warts and all that
we're going on with Chicago Bulls. But since then, I
feel like every documentary that's come out has just been
somebody with money paying a camera crew to follow them
around to show off how good they are, and that's
not We need to just remind people that that's not

(02:24:08):
what a documentary is. So I want to see what's
going on. I want to know every single step that
Jordan has taken to take this program and mold it
into her own vision. It seems like just a train
wreck of a time in North Carolina. And I don't
know that Bill Belichick's gonna last more than a year there.

Speaker 3 (02:24:26):
No, I know.

Speaker 2 (02:24:26):
I don't know what his buyout is, but it's going
to be substantial. And I just can't think they can
keep taking the hits on this one. I mean, you know,
them showing the student during the broadcast talking about how
depressing the TCU game was, and it was what she'd
failed midterms and this was worse.

Speaker 10 (02:24:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:24:44):
Yeah, it's like they're actually conspiring with the network, like
please show how awfully is We need to do whatever
we can to get as much support on our side.
Marshalled against Bill Belichick and Jordan.

Speaker 10 (02:24:57):
Yeah, maybe the buyout is I know that Bills buy out.
He can get out of the contract for like a
million dollars. He can get out easy. I don't know
what North Carolina is gonna end up going him, but
it might take Michael Jordan's stepping in.

Speaker 17 (02:25:11):
Himself.

Speaker 10 (02:25:11):
Yeah, different Jordan, and we might have a Jordan versus
Jordan war.

Speaker 3 (02:25:16):
Thing ends up.

Speaker 10 (02:25:17):
But yeah, it's gonna take somebody stepping up and running
a check I think to get him out of it.
And now mac Brown comes out of this looking great.
He's just like playing the politician still in the background.
I hear he's still checking in on the program being like,
hey you guys, miss me yet, how's it going down?

Speaker 2 (02:25:34):
Right? I mean.

Speaker 10 (02:25:37):
Yeah, yeah, I meant mac Brown is always gonna be
great at the behind the scenes stuff like lad handing
and making sure all the donors are every single thing
that Belichick is good at or is bad at. That's
what Mac Brown is good at. I think maybe kind
of maybe the opposite of that with U, with Mac
and his football acumen at this point. But I mean,
things are things aren't looking good on the field for
you and see either. I don't know if you guys
saw the game against Clemson last week, but you and

(02:26:00):
c had what like two weeks to prepare for this,
and the very first play of the game they had
an illegal shift on offense, Like it's crazy, what's going
on in Chapel Hill. And yeah, but I want to
know what. I want to know all the details behind
the scenes. I want to see that.

Speaker 6 (02:26:17):
Footage, take a look under the hood.

Speaker 2 (02:26:18):
I got to tell you. In the baseball playoffs last night,
you know, look, there was a lot to marvel at,
and the Aaron Judge home run was fantastic and everything,
But for me, maybe the play of the year is
in Camerica Park, a Mariners fan wearing a dump sixty
one shirt dump sixty one here shirt actually caught the

(02:26:40):
sixty first home run from the big Dumper, and it
was so unusual that the Tigers fans around him were.

Speaker 5 (02:26:48):
Applauding, like this is amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:26:50):
And my question to you is he took off that
shirt and he had dump sixty two here underneath it.

Speaker 5 (02:26:58):
How many shirts do you think he had?

Speaker 3 (02:27:00):
All right?

Speaker 10 (02:27:00):
So right with his eye. I was amazed when I
when I saw I saw my couch because I saw
that guy in the pregame warm up, like when they
were taking bat in practice. I saw this guy wearing
the dump here sixty one shirt. I was like, that's
that's a pretty funny shirt. And then to see him
out like that little tiny sea of green out in
the outfield cats a ball just like find him like
a magnet was crazy. And I took a picture of

(02:27:23):
him afterwards, and I zoomed in, and I'm I know
for a fact that guy was wearing a dump sixty
three here shirt under the sixty two, so he had at.

Speaker 2 (02:27:32):
Least three shirts on per game.

Speaker 10 (02:27:34):
It would have shocked me to know that this guy
went all the way up to sixty five, Like this
is a man that came prepared. I want to talk
to him and figure out like what his pre game too,
like when he thought enough was enough for the shirts.
But I think it's more impressive what that guy did
last night than what foul ball guy Zach Campbell does
on a night to night basis the ballhawk that's his
matfield get home runs at every ballpark. Because this guy,

(02:27:58):
he was only there for a cal Rawley home run.
He did not he did not care if anybody if
a Rose Arena hit a home run, he'd be like,
I don't want it, not for me. That guy was
there to catch cal Rawley's sixty first home run, and
he did, and the odds of that happening are just astronomical.
So I want to know more about the guy. They
the Mariners need to buy tickets for that guy and

(02:28:18):
put him in lep center field or just wherever that
guy's feeling like, let his let his thoughts and and
homing instincts dictate where he gets to sit in the
outfield for every game, and they need to send him
out there every single night for the rest.

Speaker 17 (02:28:31):
Of the playoffs.

Speaker 10 (02:28:31):
But because that was that was absolutely crazy and I
am I'm on records. I'm not a Yankees fan. I
don't like the Yankees. I enjoy watching the Yankees, bluse
it tickles a nice part of my brain that I
used to have for the Cowboys when when they lose
big games in tragic fashion and I got to still
do but it's it's amplified to the Yankees. But that
Aaron Judge home run was awesome last night. That was

(02:28:53):
that was the epitome of October baseball. A guy that
has been in a funk for the postseason through wants
most of his career until this year. And he's been
really good this year. But up until now, this has
been the narrative about Aaron Judge, that he can't get
it done when it matters the most. And that home run,
going through the night sky, hitting a mile up on
the foul pole and completely changing the game for the Yankees.

(02:29:16):
It was very cool to see.

Speaker 2 (02:29:19):
But I've also ninety nine miles an hour inside and
he just turned away and I mean just a crazy
effort from Judge.

Speaker 10 (02:29:29):
High and tight, turning on it, getting the hands out there.
I made the argument on part of my take to
that home run, well awesome and well fun and cool,
will become a footnote if the Yankees don't win this series,
Like if we look back three years from now, even
though they won this game, and you know what, even
if they do win the series and they get swept
in the ALCS or they lose in the World Series

(02:29:52):
and the Aaron Judge doesn't play well that home run again,
I think it will be a footnote at some point.
It feels like, do it in the World Series and
then come talk to me. Think that you hear sometimes,
but it is true, like guess how short our attention
spans are. It was a great home run and it
was cool to see. But let's let's pump the brakes
on declaring this like Aaron Judge is an all time

(02:30:13):
Yankee for this one moment.

Speaker 2 (02:30:14):
All right, I have to just go back to the
dumper guy. All right, the shirt he had dump sixty two,
and I'm looking at the picture you posted that it
is zoomed in. It is clear to me then not
only did he have a dump sixty three here shirt,
he has a dump sixty four here shirt under that one,

(02:30:35):
because there is the sixty two shirt is kind of turquoise,
and then you can see underneath there is a green
lining that goes underneath. Okay, and the underneath that there
is an even lighter blue shirt. I think he's got
three and I would not have been surprised if on
his chest he had painted shaved dump sixty five here yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:31:00):
You know it right if he if he had like
dump sixty six painted on his chest and then he
catches sixty six and then he washes he also brought
like hand sanitizer and like a wet buns with him,
washed that off, and then he has dump sixty seven,
uh burned into his body. And he had different colored

(02:31:28):
shirts too, Like I noticed that the dump sixty one
was a different shade of like teal or awkward blue
or whatever. Then the shirt that he was wearing underneath
that he then showed off, so that I don't know
where this guy got his shirts. He needs to get
like one shirt guy that he goes to to get
the same color. But this guy clearly is he's got
away with arts and crafts because they were they were

(02:31:51):
well made shirts and uh yeah the color scheme on
at least like the numbers, the glossy paint, it was
really well done. I just think he need to have
like the same color shirt. So I'm sure he'll get
some sort of sponsorship or some sort of custom deal made. Also,
I'm sure that if they win this series, just shirts
that say dump here sixty one the Marinals, they'll make

(02:32:12):
some money off those selling those on the open market.

Speaker 6 (02:32:15):
I'm I'm a little worried.

Speaker 7 (02:32:16):
I'm enjoying this experience right now with this guy, but
I am worried about the ken bone effect that. You know,
we love this guy, you guys have him on the pod,
we look a little deeper, and then we find out
he's into prego porn or like yeah, I don't know,
like some kind of breastfeeding videos.

Speaker 6 (02:32:32):
Get to get MILKSHITU Yep.

Speaker 10 (02:32:35):
Well, at this point, I feel like it would be
like a breath of pressure if that's all it was,
if we got out really.

Speaker 3 (02:32:45):
A bit.

Speaker 10 (02:32:45):
Yeah, like looking at at naked women who happened to
be pregnant. That's like, okay, yeah that's not.

Speaker 7 (02:32:52):
Bonny Blue, who also has the same kind of shirts.

Speaker 6 (02:32:55):
I think.

Speaker 7 (02:32:58):
Sixty seven here.

Speaker 10 (02:33:05):
Yeah, I think we as a nation would would long
for a guy who's that's their worst scandal that they
like looking at making pregnant women. So I'll be fine
with that. We did try to reach out to him
and figure out if we can get him on the
pod late night last night, but this guy's doing a
media tour already, and credit to him, he had he
had a great moment last night, So milk debts for Allsworth.

Speaker 2 (02:33:27):
Absolutely kids, he comment, and I'm sorry we ran out
of time because I really wanted to ask you about Flacco.

Speaker 10 (02:33:33):
Oh well, yeah, nightmare for you guys staying in the vision.
You guys were watching that tribu like, oh God, can
we just get him out of our out of our
hair for a while. Yeah, that offensive line might be
a problem for Joe, though, I'm worried about that. He's
not exactly swift on his feet anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:33:47):
No, I'm sure it'll be fine. It'll be it'll be great.

Speaker 2 (02:33:50):
But we have eighty years worth of quarterbacks when the
Steelers and the and the Bengals play each other in
uh in ten days.

Speaker 3 (02:33:58):
I love that.

Speaker 10 (02:33:59):
I mean, I'm just glad that he found a good home,
old home guy.

wasn't and I couldn't for openers at Madison Square Garden.
But pretty good first step taken by the new head

(02:35:15):
last year they opened at Madison Square Garden. They got
beat six nothing, and this is better. Sunday won three nothing.
This is appreciably better.

Speaker 2 (02:35:23):
Couples, so Sullivan's zero to two at MSG to open
the season. Yes, all we needed.

Speaker 6 (02:35:30):
To beat the Rangers was for Sullivan to be the coach.

Speaker 2 (02:35:33):
Playing the wrong way. Some significant.

Speaker 14 (02:35:39):
Statistical developments evident last night. Sidney Crosby starts his nineteenth
season as the Penguins captain. That ty Steve Eiserman as
the longest tenured captain in NHL.

Speaker 2 (02:35:50):
His his idol.

Speaker 14 (02:35:52):
Crosby, along with Malkin and Latang, have now played together
in twenty consecutive seasons, longest of any trio in North
American sports.

Speaker 2 (02:36:05):
Not insignificant, Not insignificant.

Speaker 14 (02:36:07):
Thirteen of the twenty players who dressed in that opener
last year did not dress last night.

Speaker 2 (02:36:12):
Someonem aren't on the team anymore.

Speaker 14 (02:36:15):
Penn's have five rookies on the roster for the first
time since two thousand and three. Two thousand and four,
they had four rookies in the lineup last night, and
seven guys made their Penguin's debuts, including the goaltender Arturs Sivas,
who this to me is the headliner generating development that

(02:36:36):
they played this kid over Jari.

Speaker 2 (02:36:39):
I agree.

Speaker 14 (02:36:40):
Apparently they're unscrewing around in goal. They are waiting on
the Russian kid. Sorry, gay Mirosov.

Speaker 2 (02:36:46):
Yeah, why are they because what's the point? Don't want
to rush them.

Speaker 14 (02:36:50):
Yeah, I want to make sure he's ready when he
gets here. But everything you hear coming out of the
organization is.

Speaker 2 (02:36:54):
He's the guy. He's the guy down the road for
a long time.

Speaker 6 (02:36:58):
He's rushing.

Speaker 2 (02:36:59):
Yeah, good point. How happy you think Mike Sullivan is
to have Connor Sherry back on his team, just so
we can say.

Speaker 6 (02:37:04):
His name, Connor Sherry.

Speaker 2 (02:37:08):
Play the Cherry way, baby.

Speaker 14 (02:37:12):
I remember you. I used to play young guys when
you were young. I don't do that anymore. So play
for me again.

Speaker 2 (02:37:19):
I mean, hopefully he doesn't do the Ricky Henderson thing.
I had a guy like you on a team named
Connor Sherry once. That was me.

Speaker 5 (02:37:25):
I was Connor Cherry.

Speaker 6 (02:37:28):
He did Connor Sherry at the time.

Speaker 2 (02:37:31):
I had to really piss off Solivan.

Speaker 14 (02:37:32):
I always said all the right things leading up to it,
and he's a pro and he wasn't gonna get into it.

Speaker 2 (02:37:37):
Oh that he dropped it to the Penguins, I don't know, man.
I honestly think that was a win win, and he
would have stayed here and endured it all. But I'm
glad to see him bounce somewhere else and he he
leaves here beloved. It's a good break.

Speaker 7 (02:37:57):
I'm curious to see what what dan Mus' coaching style is,
because when we talked to Rusty Mike earlier this week,
he was saying, Oh, we're gonna hear Sully screaming at
the players on the other bench, and we're all gonna
get flashbacks. And I just I'm curious to see what
this guy's demeanor is on the bench.

Speaker 14 (02:38:16):
Yeah, I am too, And I'm more curious about how
they're gonna play, and just some of the limited research
I did. Just I haven't been here for a while,
but I was listening to some of the press conferences
and reading up on it. And he's not trying to
reinvent the wheel, damn use. He doesn't have a schematic

(02:38:39):
revelation that nobody else is doing. They're not gonna win
it on the dry erase board. He just wants his
guys to compete. He's not afraid to play the young guys,
and he's not afraid to have the young guys make
mistakes relative to that he has said, quote, it's how
they respond and are we learning?

Speaker 2 (02:38:59):
Are you gonna find a way to make up for it?
That's what we're looking for.

Speaker 14 (02:39:02):
In other words, don't play scared, you screw up, you
screw up, do something about it next shift. And then
once the team is a group to quote, play connected,
be predictable to your teammates.

Speaker 2 (02:39:15):
In other words, you know, I love.

Speaker 14 (02:39:17):
That be where you're supposed to be when you're supposed.

Speaker 2 (02:39:19):
To be there.

Speaker 14 (02:39:20):
The old dick la both thing, Uh, develop trust that
you are going to in fact be there and the
other guy's going over there last night what he's supposed
to be doing. Then the other thing is be really
hard to play against, compete from every person in the lineup.
And that's really what they struggled with, maybe more than anything,
as the Sullivan effectiveness waned over the year.

Speaker 2 (02:39:41):
They just stop playing hard enough.

Speaker 7 (02:39:44):
You know what's crazy is that last night the Rangers
were turning the puck over like the Pens used to. Yeah,
in their own end. The Pen's had a lot of
chances last night generated and.

Speaker 2 (02:39:54):
Because of that.

Speaker 14 (02:39:55):
We talked a little bit about this last hour, but
I think it's worth diving into again. The Penguins I
don't have the star power to take over games anymore.
They don't have the star power to compensate for lapses
in judgment or being out to lunch for ten minutes
in a period. They gotta do it the way they
have to do it, or it's not gonna work.

Speaker 2 (02:40:15):
It has no chance to work. We'll talk to Mark
Madden a little bit more about that when he joins
us in a few minutes. Steelers and the Browns this
Sunday at one o'clock kickoff at Akroscher Stadium.

Speaker 14 (02:40:24):
Yeah, Mike Tomin looking forward to Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter
and Jalen Warren getting back involved.

Speaker 2 (02:40:30):
Tom.

Speaker 14 (02:40:30):
I'm saying yesterday he's quote really encouraged about those guys
prospects regarding Calvin Austin's shoulder and Jalen Ramsey hamstring. Really
encouraged about the potential of those guys.

Speaker 2 (02:40:43):
But we'll take it certainly day to day.

Speaker 5 (02:40:45):
Yeah, I don't think you'll see them.

Speaker 2 (02:40:46):
The potential of those guys. Jalen Warren, I think you
see yea Dangewell was phenomenal in Ireland. I agree, perception changing, age,
narrative changing. Don't need to rush Warren Beck. I mean
I want to see him play, but feel the same
about high Smith, don't you yep? The way Herbig's plan,

(02:41:08):
although I don't think I don't want to see high
Smith become a backup.

Speaker 5 (02:41:13):
I don't think he's gonna but get all the way.

Speaker 2 (02:41:15):
Well yeah, also, you need him to combat the run
this week.

Speaker 14 (02:41:21):
And hey, who knows TJ might go down in the
first quarter. I mean, yeah, it's a long season and
the dec reshuffles.

Speaker 2 (02:41:28):
It just does who do you think they bring out
on Sunday? Offense or defense? It's a good question. Uh,
Cleveland in town, Scarrett, I think we need to teach
they want to TJ Watt. Yeah, TJ Watt jump up, yay.

Speaker 5 (02:41:44):
Oh yeah, that's what it's gonna be, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (02:41:47):
Steelers and the Browns Sunday one o'clock kickoff. It don't
get any better than a one o'clock kickoff for Steelers
Browns on a Sunday, I mean four o'clock. Yeah, that's
what you're going to get with the Bengals and Joe Flacco,
which is, you know, he's usually in bed by then,
so you know, maybe advantage Steelers there.

Speaker 6 (02:42:09):
Is usually in the dark cave by the way.

Speaker 2 (02:42:11):
Well, yeah, I think the ayahuasca keeps him up later. Okay,
it's got caffeine in it. Yeah, yeah, you have tould
hurt the caffe ad.

Speaker 14 (02:42:21):
I still can't believe he's the last guy standing in
the Aco.

Speaker 2 (02:42:25):
Well, it's after a month, it's week six, just a
lot of football after bet before the season, who would
be who would your bet have been for the first
guy out? I mean he would have been the first guy. No,
it might have been Burrow. It might still because of
the history. Yes, and they have no offensive line at all.
And also they don't work to protect him. It's not

(02:42:45):
like he's you know, one step throw. You know, he's
still looking to make the big play and leaving himself vulnerable.
With Aaron Rodgers, you knew that they would protect him,
so we probably would have said Burrow, then Rogers and
never would have said Rogers is going to be the
last guy standing. But in fairness, nobody got injured in Cleveland,
you know, like they just they just benched the old guy,

(02:43:09):
traded another one, and you know, so there's only two
guys hurt. It's just a matter of I hope not
time for Aaron Rodgers. I hope they keep him protected.
That has been my concern.

Speaker 6 (02:43:21):
I think he's gonna protect him. Yeah, he's protecting him.

Speaker 2 (02:43:23):
So well, it's coming out quick. Oh yeah, I said,
if you can get him through October, it's a win.

Speaker 7 (02:43:29):
We're getting close to that time right where where we're
gonna start assessing the line for real, like this year,
five six games where we're gonna go, okay, this might
not giving this guy any time.

Speaker 2 (02:43:39):
This might be it. You know.

Speaker 14 (02:43:40):
Yeah, run the ball well with extra guys and they'll
have the quarterback hold it too long.

Speaker 2 (02:43:45):
Mark Madden joined us. When we return here on the
DV Morning.

Speaker 22 (02:43:48):
Show, Tyson is safe for highway travel and ready to

If you can't get enough.

Speaker 7 (02:44:10):
If you're Pittsburgh Steelers, then check out the latest podcast
from Steelers Nation Radio, a part of the Steelers Audio.

Speaker 2 (02:44:15):
The Pittsburghteelers one out two point five DV our next
guest here on the Morning Show sponsored by Calusy, serving
the Pittsburgh area for over one hundred and seven years,
from my brother Station one O five nine in the
X double m Mark Madden, Good morning, Mark.

Speaker 3 (02:44:27):
How are you hello again everybody.

Speaker 2 (02:44:30):
Well, uh, you know, uh, let's talk about the Penguins first.
A pretty uh uh you know, auspicious debut there for
Dan News and this new Penguin team against former coach
Mike Sullivan in the garden last night. I didn't see
a three to zero shutout happening in that one. And uh,
an impressive effort from a bunch of young guys and

(02:44:51):
new guys with the Penguins.

Speaker 3 (02:44:54):
Yeah, kind of nondescript, you know, one nil until the
two empty net goals. But the Penguins played great, fundamental high.
The Rangers didn't have much room to operate. Shilovs and
goal made twenty five stays. But I very rarely felt
like he was under siege. I think Dan Mus is
sending out a few messages trying to wipe away the
staleness right away. For example, starting Shilovs and Golan Najari

(02:45:17):
and Shiloffs coming through. He didn't just start his first
line in first defensive pair to begin the game. He
put up Malkin Crosby, Latang with Brunick and kindall the
two kids. And to me, that says, okay, we're not
going to quite pass the torch. But we are gonna
share it certainly right now. And I thought Sid, despite

(02:45:38):
going pointless, played a great two hundred foot game. I
liked malkin between the two six foot five wingers. Maybe
that's the way to go is he slows down, maybe
big would help him more than speed would as far
as his linemates go. I just thought it was a
real good night for the Penguins. In a while, the
priority still has to be getting a top five pick.
You're not going to tank, but that's the direction is

(02:46:00):
probably going to ultimately go in. You want to play
good initially, just to keep the buzz of the season,
to keep that youthful energy going, and to sell tickets.

Speaker 2 (02:46:09):
So do you think the call to not play Jari
was from the head coach or from management.

Speaker 3 (02:46:15):
Up in the head coach? I just I mean, I
think Kyle's going to be more involved with coaching decisions
made by Muse certainly than he was by Sullivan, who
just didn't want to know in that regard. But it
was the right thing to do no matter who made
the decision. I just think Jars has failed them too
many times recently despite his talent, Despite a couple all

(02:46:38):
star bursts, back when where if it's close, you go
with the new guy, you go with the guy who
isn't Jari.

Speaker 6 (02:46:44):
Brazo is on pace to score one hundred and sixty
eight goals. Pretty good. That seems like a good trade.

Speaker 3 (02:46:51):
I'm still not sure who he is, Like, you know,
he played for this team that team. That's good enough
for me. But like I said, the size element with Gino,
who made a great play on that first goal by
kind of twisting through forward with the face off to
get the Braso the puck. So yeah, I mean, you know,
it's funny we're running into this right now. As we discussed,

(02:47:13):
there wasn't a ton to discuss. It was that kind
of game. There was nothing to hang your hat on.
But you can't fault anything.

Speaker 2 (02:47:20):
Yeah, I mean, we talked to Brian Rust the other
day and I'm interested to see how it plays out
with the way that Muse coaches those you know, the
big three, especially in guys like Brian Rust as opposed
to like, is it a situation where he's really just
focusing on the younger guys and knowing the older guys
will play the style of hockey that he needs for

(02:47:41):
them to be playing. With that younger set intact, or
if it's something where they he really is going to
have to get them to buy into it.

Speaker 5 (02:47:49):
Like, is it a struggle for him at all?

Speaker 3 (02:47:52):
I think it will be if they start losing. I
don't think it was a struggle last night. I'm working
on a call away now for the trib where I'm
talking talking about how last night I'm watching the game
and I'm seeing how Eric Carlson's playing. I go, Wow,
there's something weird about the way sixty five is playing.
And then I realized he's not out there freelancing. He's

(02:48:13):
actually playing within what the rest of the team benefits from.
He was more systematic than I had ever seen him
play under Sullivan. Now there's just no way that's going
to continue. He's Eric Carlson. But for it to happen
for one night, I think when you get a lot
of kids in the room, yep. I think with the veterans,
they get kind of a do right vibe, they get

(02:48:34):
kind of a teacher aura going, and I think that's
a real good thing. And I think again, mus tried
to magnify that with his starting lineup.

Speaker 7 (02:48:43):
Yeah, from the goal out right mark, because you got
to play good in front of that guy because he
doesn't have all of the experience that the Jari does.

Speaker 6 (02:48:52):
Certainly, Yeah, he.

Speaker 3 (02:48:54):
Has some weirdo experience Bill.

Speaker 2 (02:48:56):
Like from experience, Yeah, Heed, and he.

Speaker 3 (02:48:59):
Backed up the to the bronze medal at the World
Championships a couple of years back. He's like a national
hero in Latvia. And I'm not sure how much that
carries over to the NHL, but if you can, you know,
backstop that country to that accomplishment and they beat Canada,
you're doing something right.

Speaker 2 (02:49:17):
Mark Jerry Jones was find two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for flipping off the fans. Do you think it
was enough? Doesn't surprise? Uh? You know, I saw video
of it. I thought he did a double barrel, but
I think it was only one. And he claimed that
he was just trying to give the thumbs up and
he put the wrong finger out there.

Speaker 6 (02:49:38):
We've done that.

Speaker 3 (02:49:40):
You know who could have gone away with that, Kenny
Pickett with a small hand. Nobody would have noticed it. Yeah,
I mean, you know, let's not forget. People are going
on and on on the on the morning TV sports
shows they about you know this gigantic vine. That's just
butt white money to him. This doesn't matter to him.

(02:50:01):
It's it's whether or not he's sacrificing his dignity by
behaving that way as an old man and an NFL owner.
But I think Jerry sacrificed his dignity willingly a long
time ago.

Speaker 2 (02:50:11):
I you know, I wanted or I was kind of
looking at it through the prism of emblematic of a
societal sort of dissent that's happening right now. But then
I looked into it and I'm like, oh, actually, NFL
owners have done this for a long time.

Speaker 5 (02:50:27):
You know, David Tepper's done it twice already.

Speaker 2 (02:50:29):
He threw drinks on opposing fans at a game from
his luxury box, a literal like let him eat cake,
pouring molten lava out at the you know, at the
pitchfork and torch people. And the owner of the Tennessee
Titans flipped off the fans before as well, Like these
guys have always just been big babies.

Speaker 3 (02:50:49):
Yeah, believe me, what rich, old white dudes do has
nothing to do with societal trends. Far from it.

Speaker 2 (02:50:56):
Oh, Like, well, I could not disagree with you more
on that one. But that's a larger conversation. Figure, it's
a larger conversation. I think that they're kind of you know,
they are the maestros right now. It'd be hard to
refute that the rich people are calling the shots.

Speaker 3 (02:51:14):
Well, if that's the case, I'll come bad bunnies. The
halftime show at the.

Speaker 2 (02:51:17):
Super Bowl, Well, there's still plenty of time for that
not to happen. And oh, by the way, he's the
biggest pop star in the world.

Speaker 7 (02:51:24):
Oh no, no, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (02:51:26):
Hey, put it this way. He's not the guy I
would prefer to see. But you know, he's not the
guy I would prefer to see. I have no problem
with it at all. I just wish he I just
wish he'd reprise his character from Happy Gilmore too.

Speaker 2 (02:51:37):
Well, you don't know that he won't. Adam Sander might
be a part of the halftime show.

Speaker 3 (02:51:42):
Yeah, you know what, whoever has done the halftime show
at any football game, including the Super Bowl, has never
mattered at all to me, although I will say that
I think the two biggest halftime acts at the Super
Bowl we're up with people and the dog catching a frisbee.

Speaker 2 (02:51:59):
Yeah, those are the early days.

Speaker 7 (02:52:00):
What about the Stones in Detroit.

Speaker 3 (02:52:04):
Dog frisbee bill? Think about it?

Speaker 2 (02:52:06):
Well, to be fair, Keith Richards could not catch the
frisbee they tried thrown in his mouth his cigarette. Either
throw the frisbee, his arm flies off with it to
get a new one.

Speaker 7 (02:52:19):
Conversely, Mick always looks like he's about to catch a
frisbee in his mouth.

Speaker 5 (02:52:22):
He looks like a basset hound.

Speaker 2 (02:52:23):
Yeah yeah, how about did you see mixed statement?

Speaker 3 (02:52:26):
He said he's had enough with people hating people and
he's willing to fight anybody. In pretty much those words,
Mick Jagger said that, Yeah, yeah, go on Twitter. It's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (02:52:35):
I'm I'm I'm tired of people fighting one another and.

Speaker 3 (02:52:39):
Everybody meeting one another. I'd better not ever see it
in person.

Speaker 5 (02:52:44):
Oh okay, well you know, but the thing is they'll
never see it.

Speaker 3 (02:52:48):
In person because they'll never come down on that Ivory tower.
I'm god to make that statement.

Speaker 2 (02:52:53):
Yeah, just turn off your social media if you're that
rich and enjoy the you know, refinement that you have
earned your off there over seven for sure, Steelers Browns
might be a little tumultuous as well, with the Clevelanders
making the track down I don't know how uh full
forced they'll be this time, because there's probably not a

(02:53:14):
whole lot of hope. But this is a team that
can beat the Steelers on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (02:53:20):
I think there is hope. I think there is enthusiasm
in Cleveland, or at least there should be. They're playing
five rookies. There's room for improvement. I do see improvement.
They could have won that game at Minnesota. I love
the rookie running back. I think Dylan Gabriel showed promise
a quarterback in his NFL debut as a starter at London.
So yeah, I think there's a lot going on there.

(02:53:40):
And while they are trying to move forward and they
can only move so far forward because they were crippled
by that Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 2 (02:53:47):
That's my point.

Speaker 3 (02:53:48):
Yeah, bit with hey, the Steelers are retreating to the
thirties by playing seven offensive linemen. So I mean where
it gets either team, I do not know, but I
know which way is more fun to watch.

Speaker 2 (02:54:02):
Yeah, I mean the Browns are not playing a quarterback.
They had two quarterbacks in the preseason in training camp
that took just about every snap, and neither of them
are on the roster right now.

Speaker 3 (02:54:12):
Well, yeah, nobody ever accused them of great management. But
but maybe they, you know, found a loophole. I think
Stefanski's a good coach. He's been NFL Coach of the
Year twice. It's just that I think he's been hamstrung by,
you know, awful management. And I don't think he wanted
to make that Watson Watson deal by all.

Speaker 7 (02:54:29):
Oh, No, the owner has where the Shador pick, Like,
who made that pick?

Speaker 6 (02:54:33):
It didn't make any sense.

Speaker 3 (02:54:34):
Well, now that you mentioned it, don't forget. With Flacco
gone to Cincinnati, Shadoor is number two and in play
to get out there on Sunday, and here's.

Speaker 2 (02:54:41):
Hoping well or Bailey Zappi, who gets activated from the
practice squad, jumps to number two.

Speaker 3 (02:54:48):
No, I think boy, that would cause just well, the
excrement storm from Shador being below Bailey Zappi would be
kind of fun.

Speaker 2 (02:54:54):
Yeah, I totally agree. Pursuita seems to think that's he
called it a no brainer that you would do that
because of that He's experience.

Speaker 3 (02:55:02):
Yeah, but their teammate's going nowhere anyway, and I really
do think that they and especially the owner, wants to
see what Shador could do so, I if you made
me guess that's say Shador would be the number two quarterback.
But what about this thing with the Steelers with the
seven offensive lineman. Is anybody else just bored to death
and repulsed by that?

Speaker 2 (02:55:21):
Not with a win?

Speaker 6 (02:55:22):
I'm alarmed.

Speaker 7 (02:55:23):
I mean, I want them to try to do it
and give him more than half a second to throw
the ball with five guys like everybody else does.

Speaker 2 (02:55:31):
No.

Speaker 3 (02:55:31):
No, I get the intent, Bill, but you know you're
basically benching Firemouth and John Uh. You know you may
be giving Rogers protection, but you're depriving him of targets.
And that method will never beat a good team in
a big game, never ever beat a good team in
a big game in twenty twenty five. I think seven

(02:55:52):
offensive lineman is absurd.

Speaker 2 (02:55:54):
I think they know that. I don't think they plan
on doing this forever. I think these are training wheels, you.

Speaker 3 (02:56:00):
Know what I I I thought that too, and I
hope you're right. I hope it might be situational, Randy
and specific to like opponent.

Speaker 2 (02:56:09):
I think it is. We'll see.

Speaker 3 (02:56:13):
I've been told it might not be. And we both
know the more something works, the more they're enamored by it,
not looking at the specifics we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:56:23):
Mark Madden from My Brother Station one of five nine
the X. Thanks Mark, Thank yep, we'll see it. We
gotta go big. Thanks to mister Wednesday Jef Conco. He'll
be at Archie's Friday night on the South Side. They're
doing comedy show down there.

Speaker 6 (02:56:37):
With other comics.

Speaker 2 (02:56:39):
I heard. I heard there's other comics too.

Speaker 7 (02:56:41):
Yeah, Jeff, and you know these other guys, all those

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, the team's first AFC North matchup
of the season. 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 Heigsmith.

Speaker 2 (02:57:54):
And Joey Porter Junior's participation Sunday.

Speaker 25 (02:57:56):
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Colvin 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 reception.

Speaker 2 (02:58:17):
Of the season.

Speaker 25 (02:58:18):

Bay's offense, where he put up five hundred yards on
the Bucks twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (02:58:23):
Super Bowl winning team.

Speaker 25 (02:58:25):
Roman Wilson was the Steelers 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 not being
the opportunity for Roman Wilson.
