Bill Maher and Steps.

Were on the board.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And Bill O'Reilly was eviscerating him and calling a druggy
and all the stuff, because they're like, he's saying, these
NFL players were taking all of the drugs and getting addicted, right,
and he's saying, here's the thing you can do that
will keep you from getting addicted and you can deal
with your pain. The cowboys ostracized him. He kind of

That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, that is tremendous. That's better than what Vince Neil

Vince Neil doesn't even sound like Vince Neil, and there
are no decipherable words.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
All that nose singing. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
All right, ummm yeah, that's our algorithm.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Abby's got your news. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
New?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems.
What basement?
Speaker 8 (03:15):
Keystone Basementsystems dot com plenty of sunshine today it's going
to be a high of sixty four. The Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame has announced the initial lineup of
special guests for the twenty twenty five induction ceremony. The
names include Olivia Rodrigo, Doja cat Elton, John Beck, Brandy Carlyle,
(03:35):
David Letterman, flea Iggy, Pop Killer, Mike Maxwell, Missy Elliott, Questlove,
Taylor Momson, Teddy.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Swims, and twenty one Pilots.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So all right, Letterman is going to be introducing or
inducting Warren Zevon. Do we know who the which is perfect.
He famously gave Zevon an entire episode.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I remember you telling me about that, and then I
went and watched it was incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
After he had learned that he was terminally ill, they
dedicated in an entire episode to Warren and Dave was
a longtime friend of Warren Zevon, and Warren Zevon took
over for Paul Schaeffer whenever Paul Shaffer would be out,
he'd run the band, and both Paul Shaffer and David
Letterman appeared on a Warren Zevon song called Hit Somebody
(04:27):
that he wrote with I Believe Mitch album, and it's
a song about a hockey goon and if you've never
heard it, it has Letterman in the refrain goes hit Somebody,
and it's all about, oh yeah, the story of a
hockey goon who comes up through the ranks. It's it's
really awesome because it's like you can tell it's something
Letterman would love, and it's Paul Shaffer's band with Zevon.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I mean, I think Letterman, other than SNL, was the
biggest thing going for musicians for a long time. That
was the entry point for so many different fans.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And then Conan took over that mantle. He doesn't get
enough credit for this, and he's just starting to now
because people are looking back in hindsight, how many bands
in the nineties got their start on television doing really
Conan Show. But he was following in the lead a
Letterman there, right, because you have a more avant garde
opportunity there, you know, with the late night like Weezer's
(05:23):
first network TV appearances on Conan. But there's a bunch
of those bands, I think, like Pavement was on there,
like all those nineties bands played on Conan Show.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And just like Letterman had Paul, Conan had.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Max exactly, who was even a funnier foil in a
way like Paul was like show busy and kind of
like a funny character in that way. And had the
comedy and music history having come up with all those
Toronto Second City people, because Schaeffer was the musical director
of Godspell in Toronto that was the famous big bang
(05:59):
of comedy. Had Eugene Levy and Martin Short and Gilda Radner,
Victor Garber and a bunch of them of course went
on to be in Saturday Night Live. And then SETV
from Ivan Rightman was the director of that, who would
go on to direct Strikes and Ghostbusters. Yeah, and then
his son was the one that directed the SNL movie,
(06:19):
Jason Rightman.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
So there's like a bona fides there with Schaeffer in
the comedy world. And because Max was just like this
musician from this legendary heritage band, it was just funny
that they created this character for him on that show,
but he became he already had Andy as a sidekick,
you know, but they still used Max as.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So I wouldn't be surprised if you see like Conan
doing that one day, like Letterman's doing for Warren Zevon.
Do we know which ones of those people are performers
and which ones are presenters?
Speaker 8 (06:54):
They didn't technically say who was doing what. This is
a little bit more of ad and what would make sense,
and just a reminder of the years.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Inductees include Bad Company.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cindy Lapper, Outcast, Soundgarden, Salt and
Peppa Warren, zyvonn As you mentioned, Tom Bell, Nicky Hopkins,
Carol Kay, Lenny.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Waronker, Is that right Waronker?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And who is that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'm sorry, do you know he was like a pre
ser session player.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I apologize. And then the White Stripes.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Okay, So Brandy Carlyle sounds like she could be inducting
or performing with Soundgarden, which she has done before. They've
kind of done these collaborations. You've got it right on
the possibility.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
That Letterman would do the Zvon thing.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
Doja Cat sounds like she's gonna be inducting Cyndi Laupper,
which also very much makes sense.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I thought she was going to introduce Salt and Pepa
me too.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Oh, that's a good one too. I think that actually
would work.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
They should bring back to do that.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Yeah, well it's assault and.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
It sounds like Elton John would induct Nikki Hopkins.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Well that's a perfect well suited I was gonna say,
it's a perfect person to do that.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Yeah, uh Iggy Pop for the White Stripes.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
I think it's that Detroit connection.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, I mean that's perfect.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Who for Outcast?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Uh Questlove?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh that's perfect.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yeah, also very good though.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Another like I think Fallon by bringing in the roots
like that monumental, I don't know that it matters as
much anymore like it does I think it does. But
Questlove and his love of music and his you know,
like being in that building and all the stuff that
(08:55):
he did with the music version of the the SNL
documentary is incredible.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Quest Love is one of the most important people in
modern music because he transcended the just a performer paradigm
and became a producer and impresario, a historian story and
really yeah, and I mean people like that are really important,
you know.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Keeper of the Flame. Yeah, man, you gotta have those.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
You know what he did with the SNL fifty, Oh
my god, what's maybe the best example.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Opening montage because you don't even know what to compare
it to.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It's why you've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The coolest thing of its kind, but you can't compare
it to a TV show, a movie or anything.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It's what an eleven minute edit?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, that is the most impressive production I've ever seen
common combining music and video.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
So this is he did what I have been obsessed
with since I was a kid, which is the Jay mashups.
The ability to match songs that you would never pair
together in a million years, but then all of a sudden,
because they have the same beats per mintent. It's this
melding of tracks that you can't unhear it, and it's
(10:15):
it's married in your brain forever. And he did that
and I've never seen it done visually because he's doing
it with all the.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Music acts on SNL over fifty years and it is incredible.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know, maybe the best guy to ever do it
is from right here in Bridgeville.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Girl Talk.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
There are songs that I will never not mash up
together because of girl Talk.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I can't what I mean. Gilis is a genius.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
He's incredible, and he doesn't get.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Enough love as a Pittsburgher either, but musical historian the
same way that questlove is because there are classic DVE songs.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Wit He's Tony Iris in his mashups exactly weird.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He should have called himself ton Talk.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
Don't know where he's from, but.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I mean, I remember being at a rave in the
early early two thousands and there was this terrible techno
music and we're all in this tent.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We're like, what the hell this sucks?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
And these two DJs from Arizona came in and their
names were z Trip and Radar, and they got on
and did like this doors song that all of a
sudden went into a biggie song and I was like,
what the hell are we watching?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And ever since then, I've been following this guy, z Trip.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
He's an incredible DJ who has a knowledge of all
genres of music, so he just mashes up everything. And
like Abby's saying, like, once you hear it, you can't
help but mash it up in your own head.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Yeah, there's a lot of that that happens now, and
it happens so quickly on TikTok, where I'm hearing a
ton of like really great like seventies disco songs, like
with a new like Megan thee Stallion song, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Re release it, yeah, go for it.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Yeah, there's so much again that we're like dying for again.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
A monoculture thing whenever these moments are happening where you're
just going like it.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Sounds great, go ahead, let's have a moment again. And
I'm loving those.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
I almost send them to you guys constantly, but you
guys would get text messages from me all day.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
It would be a lot.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Continuing on with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
induction story, there's some performance suggestions here in terms of
you know, all of these artists that get inducted inducted
rather there's always a performance element. Taylor Momson, who's in
The Pretty Reckless, has done a lot of Sound Garden stuff,
(12:59):
so they thought that maybe she would do like a
sound Garden performance.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Twenty one Pilots they think could be.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
The band that would be honoring the White Stripes because
they're a two person band, and maybe they would do
like a two persons.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's a weird one for them. I feel like they're
poppier than what the White Stripes try to achieve.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They're a lot poppier.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
I have no idea kind of what their musical history
is and if they.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Can go a little more low fi than.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
That so well, Typically they use younger artists, yeah, to
honor an older artist, but in this.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Also to sell tickets, right, because it's a show as
much as it is a ceremony.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I don't know who else I would pick.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I would get that's one. I think you could be
a little outside the box on and be like Black
war That would be like the most hilarious slap in
the face, like guys suck, like Warren's Yvon and or
no One's Evan A. Warren Haynes doing Jack Black and
(14:01):
getting Josh Freeze or Jack White. Yeah, I'm sorry, like
Josh Freeze drums, you know what I mean. Like, there's
a whole bunch of different ways you could do that.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Yeah, you could go way outside the box in that.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
But the twenty one Pilot's thing, Yeah, you know, you
had to hit all the demos. I guess I mean,
use young Blood.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
He seems to be available and willing to do just
about any show right now.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'm shocked Young Winner did not figure out a way
how to get him in there because he's so hot
right now, particularly with the tribute stuff.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Oh I wonder if where would I put Young Blood with? Yeah,
Cindy Lapper.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Hell see, I thought that's what Olivia Rodrigo, Yeah, yeah Rodrigo,
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I thought she would be honoring her. But that's dude,
seeing that Cidey Lapper is not easy.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
He can do it, though, man, one of the most
unique vocalists ever easily.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
The actual ceremony itself is gonna on November the eighth,
but it does sound like they're going to stream it live,
which I don't remember them doing necessarily.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
If I feel like.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Oh no, I take that back.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
They have done it live before and then they culminated.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
And put it out much later on.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
So this will be live on Disney Plus, and then
it gets condensed January first, so when it's live, it'll
be November the eighth, so if you've got Disney Plus,
you'll be able to watch it. And then additionally, the
actual exhibit that you can check out is going to
be open to the public October thirty first, and the
(15:37):
artifacts there will have some handwritten lyrics to Time after
Time by Cyndi Laupper outfits worn by Meg White and
Jack White on the cover of the White Strip's Icky
Thump record. And then there's also going to be a
nineteen seventy nine Gibson Less Paul electric guitar played by
Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, and there's gonna be a lot
(15:57):
of stuff there.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
So they usually do like kind of a.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Wing of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that's
dedicated to that year's inductees.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Time after Time is one of the greatest songs ever written.
It's gorgeous. Miles Davis did a version of it and
it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh my god, it is such I want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Oh, it's really cool, really cool. It was like his
later days. It was using a lot of synths and stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Don't you think don't you think young Blood could kill that?
Just based on how he's saying changes.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, I mean I think Adam Lambert could. Yeah. Any
Broadway show voice could do that.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Speaking of young Blood, I saw a video of an
interview that he was doing where they spliced it, like
the interview is happening in the top half of the screen,
the bottom half of the screen is him performing at
MTV Music Awards maybe some some music award show, and
Ariana Grande is literally having her mind blown watching him
(16:49):
on stage, and the person who's doing the interview said,
is it possible that she's never seen like rock music
sung like this by somebody who isn't eighty?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah? Yeah, And that like that blew my mind.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I was like, oh my god, Yeah, who's who would
be the youngest voice that's come along.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Certainly nothing that breaks through into like the pop culture
mode and into like popular music, like.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Even Pearl Jam or something like a band from the
nineties would be like too.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Old for her.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Tons of rock bands out there doing it. You just
they're just not becoming mainstream.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Like everyone is like rock is dead. It's like it's
all over the place. You're just not finding it.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
It's all over the place.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I think there are though, very few that are doing
it with like the ethos and the heart.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The old school. Like listen to the New Geese record.
It's awesome, it's amazing, right, badass, but it doesn't conform
to what you're used to hearing as like the classic
rock format.
Speaker 10 (17:50):
You know.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
I lean on the idea that rock is an attitude
more than it is a sonic texture.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, so if you get rid of me Jay Lenderman's
like doing Neil Young records, they're amazing.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I think if you.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Get stuck on that rock and roll has to be
studded belts. Yeah, everything has to be on eleven Marshall
amps and everything, you're going to limit yourself to.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
A lot of great music.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
But if you identify it with the attitude and again
the feeling of it, you're gonna find so much stuff.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
There's a lot of stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I mean, she's definitely a badass young blood too.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I'll give him some credit.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
There was an interview that he just did with Jack
Osborne where he kind of answered to the guys from
the Darkness, which I also would say, like great rock
and roll band, because a lot of people made fun
of them because they said they were like putting that on, But.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I say, you can either play or you can't, and
those guys can play definitely.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
But he would is basically answering to the Azzie tribute
that happened for the VMAs where some people were like,
oh my god, you know, you see these people are basically.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
A succubus or like any money grab or culture vultures exactly.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Yeah, And young Blood was answering to that because one
Jack Osborne was very emotional during that interview and he
was thanking Young Blood for what he had done. And
Young Blood was saying, the people who come out and
say such things are basically inserting themselves, you know, in
the in basically what they're accusing me of. They're accusing
me of being a culture vulture, but they're trying to
(19:38):
put themselves in the conversation, and I'm doing basically what.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
How I mourned. It's a great point.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I'm mourning by being like Ozzy because Ozzy means so
much to me. So I'm wearing his cross, I'm doing
his I I I'm being him because that's how I
mourn him, because he meant so much funny.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's how I mourn. He visited the casket. I'm so
sorry for your loss.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Website.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's just how I mourn, not just Ozzy, everybody. Grandma
will miss you. I I'm so sorry for your boss.
That Mike Prosina's got sports next.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
What do you want to hear their ro The Pittsburgh
Tradition built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon the all
request at Electric Lunch. That's one of the best on DVE.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service,
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service Techs.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Concerts are brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.
Speaker 11 (20:40):
Veterans of the AFC North know what they're in for
when the Browns visit the Steelers on Sunday. Not being
one of those, despite twenty one seasons in the National
Football League, Aaron Rodgers decided to do his own research.
Speaker 12 (20:56):
I was asking the Peaky about it the other day
because he's been on both sides, you know, with Baltimore
and now with us, you know, in my own time
in the in the North and the NFC, you know,
I think there was always a great rivalry with Chicago, Minnesota.
(21:17):
The states kind of don't like each other, so there
was more blood between the bad blood between the Fans
and and Detroit. There wasn't the same type of energy.
We wanted to beat them, but there wasn't like the
hatred that that Wisconsin people have for Minnesota or just
the old school you know, one hundred year of rivalry
with big Chicago and Little Green Bay. It seems like
(21:41):
with with this that that kind of the rivalry is
with the Browns, and the hatred goes, you know, both ways,
between Steelers Bengals and Steelers Ravens.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I have to tell you, when I heard that sound bite,
I thought, wow, he took a long road to say,
not a whole lot that we didn't already know.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
But he didn't know. I mean, he described the.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
NFC North dynamics and he's like, turns out, it's all
exactly the same.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
To me.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
It reminded me of when I set that in turn
out to the Bigfoot convention and had him ask the
Bigfoot guy about the gestation period of big feet.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
So now, oh, the son.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Of a gun.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I thought it was a different never mind, I thought
it was a different cut. And the guy was like,
that's a very good question. The gestation period of a
silver back gerrilla is seven months. The gestation period of
a human is nine. I'm gonna say a bigfoot is
(22:42):
somewhere between seven and nine. And he took like a
minute and a half to say it. Like to me,
he didn't say a whole lot there. He's like, guy
asked PQ about it, and turns out, Yeah, the rivalries
are the same everywhere, Yeah, except they're not.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
I disagree. I mean, I think the biggest rivalry is
with the Ravens, right because because get it, yeah, has
been forged in the playoffs. I mean, we hate Cleveland,
no doubt, and and and actually the hate from Cleveland
moved to Baltimore and we started hating them.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It did.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
But I always got and this is just what I
perceive talking to people about it over the years. I
think there's a great respect between the Pittsburgh and Baltimore
organizations because they're highly successful for long periods of time.
They're both built kind of the same way. They play
the same kind of ball.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
And they've won. I mean that's a big part of this.
The other two were kind of slappy. It's the Bungles
and the Browns is the Browns. So I guess what
we're boiling this down to.
Speaker 11 (23:49):
Is it all kind of depends on whether or not
you differentiate between rivalry and hate.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
Oh. I think this is fear like rivalry football, you're
a hatred Oh. I don't think there's no other way
to sugarcoat it between the history of these two teams.
So it's gonna be the game that you always seen
in the AFC nor physical, blood.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Death, all the way across.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, basically, I mean.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
You could look at it any kind of way you
want to, but I think this game is definitely like
one of those hatred games. Blood blath, straight hard nose football.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's blood blath.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
He Shaid blood beat twice, blood bass, blood Blath. The
other thing I've seen due to blood math comparablet is
Philly Dallas.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That is boiling.
Speaker 11 (24:39):
I hope you die.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Hate Giants Cowboys used to have that. Yeah. I guess
NFC Eastern AFC North I always thought were very similar
in that way.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Philly seems to be uh a willing participant in any
big rivalry, and that in their division.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
I mean, the Giants and forty nine ers had it
going on for a while when they were both fighting
for the NFC every year, But I don't thin think
it got to the.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I hate you level. Well, the AFC North has been
a conference for what thirty years?
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Two? Two?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Was it that? Okay?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
So yeah, I think we got a track down who
said this. But whoever came here as a free agent
and said that the AFC North is the hood of
the NFL was the most accurate statement ever?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Was a queen? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I don't think was it Elliott? I think it was
before that. It predates both these guys. I think it
was whatever. It's a bad neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, And to.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Play two of these games in less than a week
is going to leave a mark.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Brooken enough. I can't find it.
Speaker 11 (25:41):
Browns and Jaguars exchanged first round cornerbacks last night. This
Newsom was limited in practice in Cleveland yesterday. Now he's
out because he's in Jackson. Yeah, he's extremely limited. You
can't play Newsom against Pittsburgh. I'm playing Newsom against.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
No, you can't play it. Why not because he plays
for Jacksonville. You're killing this team.
Speaker 11 (26:04):
Tyson Campbell goes from Jacksonville to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Newsom from Cleveland. Ray Lewis Jacksonville.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
Ray Lewis said it according to the Google, Well, he
would know a couple of draft picks exchanging that deal,
as well as.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
The obstruction of justice of the NFL. There no plea Buggins.
Steelers practice report.
Speaker 11 (26:28):
No Calvin Austin, Alex high Smith limited, Jalen Ramsey did
not practice. Bench Gronock was limited with illness. Jalen Warren
and Joey Porter both full go. Cleveland's got a bunch
of guys limited that may or may not be a
concern as the week progresses. Brown's already have some guys
on IR that they would much rather have, cornerback Melson Emerson,
(26:52):
wide receiver Cedric Tillman, and offensive tackle Dewan Jones among them.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
So it's that time of year.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
It's only week five of the Steelers, but uh Man
injuries every week. Quick baseball report there, Mike Yankees lost,
Yes they did?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yyankes it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Yankee loo y Let's.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh hey, hey, let's wait again, Yankees. Yu, dude, he
does it for another twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I mean, you like beating a dead horse, micas.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Hoppy hoppy, over and over? What more?
Speaker 7 (27:40):
What more?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
What more?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yuk with two Yankees on the panel in Vladdy Guerrero
with his UH goggles on in the locker room after
that one.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yankees blew that game last night, Mike.
Speaker 11 (27:55):
Five, two Jays, and they just scored runs. Yanks were
supposed to have a big edge in pitching in that series.
It did not materialize. Elsewhere. The Tigers staved off elimination
nine to three over Seattle. They're going to Game five
in Seattle. The Cubs staved off elimination four to three.
They still trail the Brewers two games to one. And
(28:15):
the Phillies staved off elimination but still trail the Dodgers
two games to one after an eight to two victory
in LA last night.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Only two things you stave off infection and elimination. I'm
sure your news.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
At the top of the hour, we've talked about the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Now let's talk about the Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
Meryl H.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Maryl. Good morning, everybody. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well Cleveland coming to town, and you're no stranger to
the brutality that is about to take place this rivalry.
It doesn't matter what condition the other team is in,
it always ends up being a slobygnocker when it's Steelers Browns.
A unique dynamic in this one being the quarterback carousel
continuing to spin in Cleveland. They get rid of Joe
(30:41):
Flacco and they're gonna go with Dylan Gabriel again, who
started last week in London. So Merril, you are as
astute of a quarterback breakdown analyst as there is out there.
Tell us what Dylan Gabriel would be capable of against
the Steelers defense in his second start in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I can say this one thing. Coming out of college.
If he was sick three, he might have been the
first pick. I mean, he might have been right, we
didn't have been our first round pick. There's no question.
Because he's he's a really good processor. He's accurate, he
knows how to play the position. He has great instincts.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
In the pocket. But he's five to nine. I mean,
I mean he's he's little.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I mean because I interviewed him at the Senior Bowl
and we actually were going back and forth. I was
just talk to him about you know, things that you know.
I saw him tape and stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
And he goes, hey, wait, Nick, let me ask you
a question. I said, By the way, he goes, well,
what would you rather have? Would you rather have?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I'm trying to say what executing the word that he used?
Production or potential? That's right, production potential. Now I know
why I said production because he's been so successful in college.
So I didn't want to pick that and so I
wanted to use potential. I chose potential, and he goes,
really and I go, yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I go. He goes, well, why I go.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Listen in our lea, they lead your count I say, well,
you play at Ohio State.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Ohio State's a preseason game. And you know what happened
when they came to when you play at Ohio State?
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Okay? How you have to play in the NFL is
ten times better than you play in college. And they
have plans for people that are five to ten. You're
gonna push the pocket. They're gonna have people on the edges.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
They're gonna run you down, and they're gonna make your
life miserable. I go and he's like, well, so if
I have six one or sixty two or sixth year,
I said, you're a first rounder. I go, now, listen,
you can play. I'm not telling you can't play. I'm
not saying camping.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I understand.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
These are the things that you're gonna have to deal
with in an NFL. They're gonna they're coming after you,
and it's gonna be things that you've never seen in
your life. And I go to Ohio State game, is
your preseason game, and so you know now was watching
him in the London game.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
He's a good kid.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Too, you know, I mean, I'm pulling for him. I
was like, Sha, that's just the environment you're gonna come to.
That's just the reality. And so where all the skills
you have now you're gonna have to harness them and
you don't have to make them better to really be successful.
And I told him, I go listen to I'm draft you.
Some are going to get hurt or and you're gonna
place somebody and they're gonna say, wow, he can play.
(33:17):
Now when you watch what they did, you know, they
kept it really simple.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
They they kept passing Bill to reads. You know, they
ran the ball real effectively, which is something they're going
to have to do for him to be successful. They
take advantage of the full field when he gets closer
into scoring territory because he can do that. He can
he can operate like that, but he doesn't and he
won't function like that. You know in this game, he's
(33:43):
still going to be limited.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
They moved him to one Saturday the other to help him,
and he was he played okay, you know, he played
exactly about you would expect him to play, and you know,
but the students will have a plan for him, you know,
and it'll be any stuff that he hasn't seen or
he's not used to, and you know, they'll try to
keep it as a simple as they can for him,
(34:07):
you know, which is what you gotta do, you know,
because you know they have some problems up front with
their off t line and what the Steevers can do
and have done, especially in the last game. We're gonna
post some problems to him.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
You know. They got they got, they.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
Got their handsful Merril then not Minnesota Cleveland game. Did
you get the impression I thought early in the game
Gabriel was more likely to try to throw it into
a tight window. I thought when they were playing with
the lead in the second half, he had some throwaways
looked like to me on third down, almost as if
he was playing not to get intercepted.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Well, you know, I know what you're talking about. You
got like one old.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Ones where he just missed hair mailed it out about Yeah, like, okay,
he's better than that.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He just threw that, yeah, yeah, And I would agree
with you, he would rather And actually that's part of
the you're a smart player. You know, if you can't
make the throw or you're uncertain about it, well don't
give it to them, you know, don't try something that.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
You're not not good at. Now, there were a couple of.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Throws he made that were you know, that to the
tied end on that bow out that corner route. You know,
he made a really good throw, the type of throws
that you got to make in our league consistently.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
So that's why I thought he functioned pretty well.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You know, he he didn't do anything dangerous to the team,
and he executed the players. That's what's interesting. I was
watching takement. I told my wife, Van's like, they're going
to bench Joe Flacco. There's no way that you can
let Joe Flack go play like he's playing and be
okay with that, because I'm telling you, I'm watching Joe
Flack and I'm like, I think Joe doesn't want to
(35:43):
play like Joe's like because they ran like a bubble
screen to the left and then they ran a single
route to the right side, so they had two options. Right,
so the bubble screen is perfect. I mean, he should
dump it off. He looks at it. So it comes
back to the corner and they got to in and
out on him. He's doubled right, and Joe just sits
there and say, and then he throws the ball out
of the end zone, I mean out of the out
of bounds. And he like he didn't exchu any of
(36:05):
the plays with any consistency whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
He lived before a rookie player.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I'm like, there's no way that they could keep this
type playing football game.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
I could kill.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
He looks like he didn't want to play, so I
was not surprising they decided to bench him and then trading.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, and he's heading down there to Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
He drove down and had a call with Zach Taylor
on the way down to talk about the offense on
the five and a half hour drive from Cleveland to Cincinnati.
Speaker 11 (36:35):
Driving past the billboard on I seventy one that says
Hell is real.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
And that's where you're heading.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Now, I can tell you that they they are.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Listen, if Joe Flappell, you have to be a lot
more excited about what they have as far as weapons
there cland And I really honest, I really believed that
was Joe Flapple's problems, Like, man, we just you know,
we don't have anybody you know, now, they they do
have people, as we all know. However, they're offensive line.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, well let's let we'll have lots to talk about
next week on that.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, But then he asked you one more, one more
thing about this game this weekend. I want to know
what you think the Steelers will do offensively. Will it
look a lot like what we saw against Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I would think? So, you know, listen, they got some
they got some problems up front.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
They take care absolutely well.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
You know, ninety five is a problem, you know then,
and they don't just have ninety five, but ninety five
is going to go both sides of the ball and
both sides of se You never know where he's gonna
line up, so that's a problem. You know, he's gonna
he's gonna challenge both tackles, and they got other guys
that can get after after things as well. So they're
(37:50):
gonna have to get you know, the improvement that they
may going into the Minnesota game, that's as much improvement
as they're going to have to make going into the
Cleveland game. And if they do make that jump, then
they're gonna be okay. But they're gonna have to.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Make that jump.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Merril Hodge Brought to you by Castle Rock, Hormone Health
and South Hills Keia this morning on DV.

They were Willie Nelson was a president and I think
Bill Maher and Steps.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Were on the board.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And Bill O'Reilly was eviscerating him and calling a druggy
and all the stuff, because they're like, he's saying, these
NFL players were taking all of the drugs and getting addicted, right,
and he's saying, here's the thing you can do that
will keep you from getting addicted and you can deal
with your pain. The cowboys ostracized him. He kind of
got isn't that hilarious?
Speaker 3 (00:49):

are no decipherable words.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
All that nose singing. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
All right, ummm yeah, that's our algorithm.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Abby's got your news. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
New?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems.
What basement?
Speaker 8 (03:15):
Keystone Basementsystems dot com plenty of sunshine today it's going
to be a high of sixty four. The Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame has announced the initial lineup of
special guests for the twenty twenty five induction ceremony. The
names include Olivia Rodrigo, Doja cat Elton, John Beck, Brandy Carlyle,
(03:35):
David Letterman, flea Iggy, Pop Killer, Mike Maxwell, Missy Elliott, Questlove,
Taylor Momson, Teddy.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Swims, and twenty one Pilots.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So all right, Letterman is going to be introducing or
inducting Warren Zevon. Do we know who the which is perfect.
He famously gave Zevon an entire episode.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
I remember you telling me about that, and then I
went and watched it was incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
After he had learned that he was terminally ill, they
dedicated in an entire episode to Warren and Dave was
a longtime friend of Warren Zevon, and Warren Zevon took
over for Paul Schaeffer whenever Paul Shaffer would be out,
he'd run the band, and both Paul Shaffer and David
Letterman appeared on a Warren Zevon song called Hit Somebody
(04:27):
that he wrote with I Believe Mitch album, and it's
a song about a hockey goon and if you've never
heard it, it has Letterman in the refrain goes hit Somebody,
and it's all about, oh yeah, the story of a
hockey goon who comes up through the ranks. It's it's
really awesome because it's like you can tell it's something
Letterman would love, and it's Paul Shaffer's band with Zevon.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I mean, I think Letterman, other than SNL, was the
biggest thing going for musicians for a long time. That
was the entry point for so many different fans.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And then Conan took over that mantle. He doesn't get
enough credit for this, and he's just starting to now
because people are looking back in hindsight, how many bands
in the nineties got their start on television doing really
Conan Show. But he was following in the lead a
Letterman there, right, because you have a more avant garde
opportunity there, you know, with the late night like Weezer's
(05:23):
first network TV appearances on Conan. But there's a bunch
of those bands, I think, like Pavement was on there,
like all those nineties bands played on Conan Show.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And just like Letterman had Paul, Conan had.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Max exactly, who was even a funnier foil in a
way like Paul was like show busy and kind of
like a funny character in that way. And had the
comedy and music history having come up with all those
Toronto Second City people, because Schaeffer was the musical director
of Godspell in Toronto that was the famous big bang
(05:59):
of comedy. Had Eugene Levy and Martin Short and Gilda Radner,
Victor Garber and a bunch of them of course went
on to be in Saturday Night Live. And then SETV
from Ivan Rightman was the director of that, who would
go on to direct Strikes and Ghostbusters. Yeah, and then
his son was the one that directed the SNL movie,
(06:19):
Jason Rightman.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
So there's like a bona fides there with Schaeffer in
the comedy world. And because Max was just like this
musician from this legendary heritage band, it was just funny
that they created this character for him on that show,
but he became he already had Andy as a sidekick,
you know, but they still used Max as.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
So I wouldn't be surprised if you see like Conan
doing that one day, like Letterman's doing for Warren Zevon.
Do we know which ones of those people are performers
and which ones are presenters?
Speaker 8 (06:54):
They didn't technically say who was doing what. This is
a little bit more of ad and what would make sense,
and just a reminder of the years.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Inductees include Bad Company.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cindy Lapper, Outcast, Soundgarden, Salt and
Peppa Warren, zyvonn As you mentioned, Tom Bell, Nicky Hopkins,
Carol Kay, Lenny.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Waronker, Is that right Waronker?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And who is that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'm sorry, do you know he was like a pre
ser session player.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I apologize. And then the White Stripes.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Okay, So Brandy Carlyle sounds like she could be inducting
or performing with Soundgarden, which she has done before. They've
kind of done these collaborations. You've got it right on
the possibility.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
That Letterman would do the Zvon thing.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
Doja Cat sounds like she's gonna be inducting Cyndi Laupper,
which also very much makes sense.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I thought she was going to introduce Salt and Pepa
me too.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Oh, that's a good one too. I think that actually
would work.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
They should bring back to do that.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Yeah, well it's assault and.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
It sounds like Elton John would induct Nikki Hopkins.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Well that's a perfect well suited I was gonna say,
it's a perfect person to do that.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Yeah, uh Iggy Pop for the White Stripes.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
I think it's that Detroit connection.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, I mean that's perfect.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Who for Outcast?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Uh Questlove?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh that's perfect.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yeah, also very good though.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Another like I think Fallon by bringing in the roots
like that monumental, I don't know that it matters as
much anymore like it does I think it does. But
Questlove and his love of music and his you know,
like being in that building and all the stuff that
(08:55):
he did with the music version of the the SNL
documentary is incredible.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Quest Love is one of the most important people in
modern music because he transcended the just a performer paradigm
and became a producer and impresario, a historian story and
really yeah, and I mean people like that are really important,
you know.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Keeper of the Flame. Yeah, man, you gotta have those.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
You know what he did with the SNL fifty, Oh
my god, what's maybe the best example.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Opening montage because you don't even know what to compare
it to.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
It's why you've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The coolest thing of its kind, but you can't compare
it to a TV show, a movie or anything.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It's what an eleven minute edit?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, that is the most impressive production I've ever seen
common combining music and video.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
So this is he did what I have been obsessed
with since I was a kid, which is the Jay mashups.
The ability to match songs that you would never pair
together in a million years, but then all of a sudden,
because they have the same beats per mintent. It's this
melding of tracks that you can't unhear it, and it's
(10:15):
it's married in your brain forever. And he did that
and I've never seen it done visually because he's doing
it with all the.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Music acts on SNL over fifty years and it is incredible.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
You know, maybe the best guy to ever do it
is from right here in Bridgeville.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Girl Talk.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
There are songs that I will never not mash up
together because of girl Talk.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I can't what I mean. Gilis is a genius.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
He's incredible, and he doesn't get.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Enough love as a Pittsburgher either, but musical historian the
same way that questlove is because there are classic DVE songs.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Wit He's Tony Iris in his mashups exactly weird.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He should have called himself ton Talk.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
Don't know where he's from, but.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I mean, I remember being at a rave in the
early early two thousands and there was this terrible techno
music and we're all in this tent.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
We're like, what the hell this sucks?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
And these two DJs from Arizona came in and their
names were z Trip and Radar, and they got on
and did like this doors song that all of a
sudden went into a biggie song and I was like,
what the hell are we watching?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And ever since then, I've been following this guy, z Trip.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
He's an incredible DJ who has a knowledge of all
genres of music, so he just mashes up everything. And
like Abby's saying, like, once you hear it, you can't
help but mash it up in your own head.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Yeah, there's a lot of that that happens now, and
it happens so quickly on TikTok, where I'm hearing a
ton of like really great like seventies disco songs, like
with a new like Megan thee Stallion song, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Re release it, yeah, go for it.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Yeah, there's so much again that we're like dying for again.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
A monoculture thing whenever these moments are happening where you're
just going like it.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Sounds great, go ahead, let's have a moment again. And
I'm loving those.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
I almost send them to you guys constantly, but you
guys would get text messages from me all day.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
It would be a lot.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
Continuing on with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
induction story, there's some performance suggestions here in terms of
you know, all of these artists that get inducted inducted
rather there's always a performance element. Taylor Momson, who's in
The Pretty Reckless, has done a lot of Sound Garden stuff,
(12:59):
so they thought that maybe she would do like a
sound Garden performance.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Twenty one Pilots they think could be.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
The band that would be honoring the White Stripes because
they're a two person band, and maybe they would do
like a two persons.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's a weird one for them. I feel like they're
poppier than what the White Stripes try to achieve.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They're a lot poppier.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
I have no idea kind of what their musical history
is and if they.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Can go a little more low fi than.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
That so well, Typically they use younger artists, yeah, to
honor an older artist, but in this.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Also to sell tickets, right, because it's a show as
much as it is a ceremony.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I don't know who else I would pick.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I would get that's one. I think you could be
a little outside the box on and be like Black
war That would be like the most hilarious slap in
the face, like guys suck, like Warren's Yvon and or
no One's Evan A. Warren Haynes doing Jack Black and
(14:01):
getting Josh Freeze or Jack White. Yeah, I'm sorry, like
Josh Freeze drums, you know what I mean. Like, there's
a whole bunch of different ways you could do that.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Yeah, you could go way outside the box in that.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
But the twenty one Pilot's thing, Yeah, you know, you
had to hit all the demos. I guess I mean,
use young Blood.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
He seems to be available and willing to do just
about any show right now.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'm shocked Young Winner did not figure out a way
how to get him in there because he's so hot
right now, particularly with the tribute stuff.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Oh I wonder if where would I put Young Blood with? Yeah,
Cindy Lapper.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Hell see, I thought that's what Olivia Rodrigo, Yeah, yeah Rodrigo,
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I thought she would be honoring her. But that's dude,
seeing that Cidey Lapper is not easy.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
He can do it, though, man, one of the most
unique vocalists ever easily.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
The actual ceremony itself is gonna on November the eighth,
but it does sound like they're going to stream it live,
which I don't remember them doing necessarily.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
If I feel like.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Oh no, I take that back.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
They have done it live before and then they culminated.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
And put it out much later on.
Speaker 8 (15:17):
So this will be live on Disney Plus, and then
it gets condensed January first, so when it's live, it'll
be November the eighth, so if you've got Disney Plus,
you'll be able to watch it. And then additionally, the
actual exhibit that you can check out is going to
be open to the public October thirty first, and the
(15:37):
artifacts there will have some handwritten lyrics to Time after
Time by Cyndi Laupper outfits worn by Meg White and
Jack White on the cover of the White Strip's Icky
Thump record. And then there's also going to be a
nineteen seventy nine Gibson Less Paul electric guitar played by
Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, and there's gonna be a lot
(15:57):
of stuff there.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
So they usually do like kind of a.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
Wing of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that's
dedicated to that year's inductees.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Time after Time is one of the greatest songs ever written.
It's gorgeous. Miles Davis did a version of it and
it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh my god, it is such I want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Oh, it's really cool, really cool. It was like his
later days. It was using a lot of synths and stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Don't you think don't you think young Blood could kill that?
Just based on how he's saying changes.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, I mean I think Adam Lambert could. Yeah. Any
Broadway show voice could do that.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Speaking of young Blood, I saw a video of an
interview that he was doing where they spliced it, like
the interview is happening in the top half of the screen,
the bottom half of the screen is him performing at
MTV Music Awards maybe some some music award show, and
Ariana Grande is literally having her mind blown watching him
(16:49):
on stage, and the person who's doing the interview said,
is it possible that she's never seen like rock music
sung like this by somebody who isn't eighty?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah? Yeah, And that like that blew my mind.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I was like, oh my god, Yeah, who's who would
be the youngest voice that's come along.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Certainly nothing that breaks through into like the pop culture
mode and into like popular music, like.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Even Pearl Jam or something like a band from the
nineties would be like too.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Old for her.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Tons of rock bands out there doing it. You just
they're just not becoming mainstream.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Like everyone is like rock is dead. It's like it's
all over the place. You're just not finding it.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
It's all over the place.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
I think there are though, very few that are doing
it with like the ethos and the heart.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The old school. Like listen to the New Geese record.
It's awesome, it's amazing, right, badass, but it doesn't conform
to what you're used to hearing as like the classic
rock format.
Speaker 10 (17:50):
You know.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
I lean on the idea that rock is an attitude
more than it is a sonic texture.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, so if you get rid of me Jay Lenderman's
like doing Neil Young records, they're amazing.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I think if you.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
Get stuck on that rock and roll has to be
studded belts. Yeah, everything has to be on eleven Marshall
amps and everything, you're going to limit yourself to.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
A lot of great music.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
But if you identify it with the attitude and again
the feeling of it, you're gonna find so much stuff.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
There's a lot of stuff out there.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I mean, she's definitely a badass young blood too.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I'll give him some credit.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
There was an interview that he just did with Jack
Osborne where he kind of answered to the guys from
the Darkness, which I also would say, like great rock
and roll band, because a lot of people made fun
of them because they said they were like putting that on, But.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I say, you can either play or you can't, and
those guys can play definitely.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
But he would is basically answering to the Azzie tribute
that happened for the VMAs where some people were like,
oh my god, you know, you see these people are basically.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
A succubus or like any money grab or culture vultures exactly.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Yeah, And young Blood was answering to that because one
Jack Osborne was very emotional during that interview and he
was thanking Young Blood for what he had done. And
Young Blood was saying, the people who come out and
say such things are basically inserting themselves, you know, in
the in basically what they're accusing me of. They're accusing
me of being a culture vulture, but they're trying to
(19:38):
put themselves in the conversation, and I'm doing basically what.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
How I mourned. It's a great point.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I'm mourning by being like Ozzy because Ozzy means so
much to me. So I'm wearing his cross, I'm doing
his I I I'm being him because that's how I
mourn him, because he meant so much funny.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's how I mourn. He visited the casket. I'm so
sorry for your loss.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Website.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's just how I mourn, not just Ozzy, everybody. Grandma
will miss you. I I'm so sorry for your boss.
That Mike Prosina's got sports next.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
What do you want to hear their ro The Pittsburgh
Tradition built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon the all
request at Electric Lunch. That's one of the best on DVE.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service,
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service Techs.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Concerts are brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.
Speaker 11 (20:40):
Veterans of the AFC North know what they're in for
when the Browns visit the Steelers on Sunday. Not being
one of those, despite twenty one seasons in the National
Football League, Aaron Rodgers decided to do his own research.
Speaker 12 (20:56):
I was asking the Peaky about it the other day
because he's been on both sides, you know, with Baltimore
and now with us, you know, in my own time
in the in the North and the NFC, you know,
I think there was always a great rivalry with Chicago, Minnesota.
(21:17):
The states kind of don't like each other, so there
was more blood between the bad blood between the Fans
and and Detroit. There wasn't the same type of energy.
We wanted to beat them, but there wasn't like the
hatred that that Wisconsin people have for Minnesota or just
the old school you know, one hundred year of rivalry
with big Chicago and Little Green Bay. It seems like
(21:41):
with with this that that kind of the rivalry is
with the Browns, and the hatred goes, you know, both ways,
between Steelers Bengals and Steelers Ravens.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I have to tell you, when I heard that sound bite,
I thought, wow, he took a long road to say,
not a whole lot that we didn't already know.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
But he didn't know. I mean, he described the.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
NFC North dynamics and he's like, turns out, it's all
exactly the same.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
To me.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
It reminded me of when I set that in turn
out to the Bigfoot convention and had him ask the
Bigfoot guy about the gestation period of big feet.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
So now, oh, the son.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Of a gun.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I thought it was a different never mind, I thought
it was a different cut. And the guy was like,
that's a very good question. The gestation period of a
silver back gerrilla is seven months. The gestation period of
a human is nine. I'm gonna say a bigfoot is
(22:42):
somewhere between seven and nine. And he took like a
minute and a half to say it. Like to me,
he didn't say a whole lot there. He's like, guy
asked PQ about it, and turns out, Yeah, the rivalries
are the same everywhere, Yeah, except they're not.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
I disagree. I mean, I think the biggest rivalry is
with the Ravens, right because because get it, yeah, has
been forged in the playoffs. I mean, we hate Cleveland,
no doubt, and and and actually the hate from Cleveland
moved to Baltimore and we started hating them.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It did.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
But I always got and this is just what I
perceive talking to people about it over the years. I
think there's a great respect between the Pittsburgh and Baltimore
organizations because they're highly successful for long periods of time.
They're both built kind of the same way. They play
the same kind of ball.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
And they've won. I mean that's a big part of this.
The other two were kind of slappy. It's the Bungles
and the Browns is the Browns. So I guess what
we're boiling this down to.
Speaker 11 (23:49):
Is it all kind of depends on whether or not
you differentiate between rivalry and hate.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
Oh. I think this is fear like rivalry football, you're
a hatred Oh. I don't think there's no other way
to sugarcoat it between the history of these two teams.
So it's gonna be the game that you always seen
in the AFC nor physical, blood.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Death, all the way across.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, basically, I mean.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
You could look at it any kind of way you
want to, but I think this game is definitely like
one of those hatred games. Blood blath, straight hard nose football.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's blood blath.
Speaker 9 (24:26):
He Shaid blood beat twice, blood bass, blood Blath. The
other thing I've seen due to blood math comparablet is
Philly Dallas.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That is boiling.
Speaker 11 (24:39):
I hope you die.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Hate Giants Cowboys used to have that. Yeah. I guess
NFC Eastern AFC North I always thought were very similar
in that way.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Philly seems to be uh a willing participant in any
big rivalry, and that in their division.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
I mean, the Giants and forty nine ers had it
going on for a while when they were both fighting
for the NFC every year, But I don't thin think
it got to the.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I hate you level. Well, the AFC North has been
a conference for what thirty years?
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Two? Two?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Was it that? Okay?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
So yeah, I think we got a track down who
said this. But whoever came here as a free agent
and said that the AFC North is the hood of
the NFL was the most accurate statement ever?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Was a queen? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I don't think was it Elliott? I think it was
before that. It predates both these guys. I think it
was whatever. It's a bad neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, And to.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Play two of these games in less than a week
is going to leave a mark.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Brooken enough. I can't find it.
Speaker 11 (25:41):
Browns and Jaguars exchanged first round cornerbacks last night. This
Newsom was limited in practice in Cleveland yesterday. Now he's
out because he's in Jackson. Yeah, he's extremely limited. You
can't play Newsom against Pittsburgh. I'm playing Newsom against.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
No, you can't play it. Why not because he plays
for Jacksonville. You're killing this team.
Speaker 11 (26:04):
Tyson Campbell goes from Jacksonville to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Newsom from Cleveland. Ray Lewis Jacksonville.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
Ray Lewis said it according to the Google, Well, he
would know a couple of draft picks exchanging that deal,
as well as.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
The obstruction of justice of the NFL. There no plea Buggins.
Steelers practice report.
Speaker 11 (26:28):
No Calvin Austin, Alex high Smith limited, Jalen Ramsey did
not practice. Bench Gronock was limited with illness. Jalen Warren
and Joey Porter both full go. Cleveland's got a bunch
of guys limited that may or may not be a
concern as the week progresses. Brown's already have some guys
on IR that they would much rather have, cornerback Melson Emerson,
(26:52):
wide receiver Cedric Tillman, and offensive tackle Dewan Jones among them.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
So it's that time of year.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
It's only week five of the Steelers, but uh Man
injuries every week. Quick baseball report there, Mike Yankees lost,
Yes they did?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yyankes it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Yankee loo y Let's.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh hey, hey, let's wait again, Yankees. Yu, dude, he
does it for another twenty seconds.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I mean, you like beating a dead horse, micas.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Hoppy hoppy, over and over? What more?
Speaker 7 (27:40):
What more?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
What more?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yuk with two Yankees on the panel in Vladdy Guerrero
with his UH goggles on in the locker room after
that one.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yankees blew that game last night, Mike.
Speaker 11 (27:55):
Five, two Jays, and they just scored runs. Yanks were
supposed to have a big edge in pitching in that series.
It did not materialize. Elsewhere. The Tigers staved off elimination
nine to three over Seattle. They're going to Game five
in Seattle. The Cubs staved off elimination four to three.
They still trail the Brewers two games to one. And
(28:15):
the Phillies staved off elimination but still trail the Dodgers
two games to one after an eight to two victory
in LA last night.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Only two things you stave off infection and elimination. I'm
sure your news.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
At the top of the hour, we've talked about the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Now let's talk about the Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
Meryl H.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Maryl. Good morning, everybody. Good morning.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Well Cleveland coming to town, and you're no stranger to
the brutality that is about to take place this rivalry.
It doesn't matter what condition the other team is in,
it always ends up being a slobygnocker when it's Steelers Browns.
A unique dynamic in this one being the quarterback carousel
continuing to spin in Cleveland. They get rid of Joe
(30:41):
Flacco and they're gonna go with Dylan Gabriel again, who
started last week in London. So Merril, you are as
astute of a quarterback breakdown analyst as there is out there.
Tell us what Dylan Gabriel would be capable of against
the Steelers defense in his second start in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I can say this one thing. Coming out of college.
If he was sick three, he might have been the
first pick. I mean, he might have been right, we
didn't have been our first round pick. There's no question.
Because he's he's a really good processor. He's accurate, he
knows how to play the position. He has great instincts.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
In the pocket. But he's five to nine. I mean,
I mean he's he's little.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I mean because I interviewed him at the Senior Bowl
and we actually were going back and forth. I was
just talk to him about you know, things that you know.
I saw him tape and stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
And he goes, hey, wait, Nick, let me ask you
a question. I said, By the way, he goes, well,
what would you rather have? Would you rather have?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
I'm trying to say what executing the word that he used?
Production or potential? That's right, production potential. Now I know
why I said production because he's been so successful in college.
So I didn't want to pick that and so I
wanted to use potential. I chose potential, and he goes,
really and I go, yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I go. He goes, well, why I go.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Listen in our lea, they lead your count I say, well,
you play at Ohio State.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Ohio State's a preseason game. And you know what happened
when they came to when you play at Ohio State?
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Okay? How you have to play in the NFL is
ten times better than you play in college. And they
have plans for people that are five to ten. You're
gonna push the pocket. They're gonna have people on the edges.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
They're gonna run you down, and they're gonna make your
life miserable. I go and he's like, well, so if
I have six one or sixty two or sixth year,
I said, you're a first rounder. I go, now, listen,
you can play. I'm not telling you can't play. I'm
not saying camping.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I understand.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
These are the things that you're gonna have to deal
with in an NFL. They're gonna they're coming after you,
and it's gonna be things that you've never seen in
your life. And I go to Ohio State game, is
your preseason game, and so you know now was watching
him in the London game.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
He's a good kid.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Too, you know, I mean, I'm pulling for him. I
was like, Sha, that's just the environment you're gonna come to.
That's just the reality. And so where all the skills
you have now you're gonna have to harness them and
you don't have to make them better to really be successful.
And I told him, I go listen to I'm draft you.
Some are going to get hurt or and you're gonna
place somebody and they're gonna say, wow, he can play.
(33:17):
Now when you watch what they did, you know, they
kept it really simple.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
They they kept passing Bill to reads. You know, they
ran the ball real effectively, which is something they're going
to have to do for him to be successful. They
take advantage of the full field when he gets closer
into scoring territory because he can do that. He can
he can operate like that, but he doesn't and he
won't function like that. You know in this game, he's
(33:43):
still going to be limited.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
They moved him to one Saturday the other to help him,
and he was he played okay, you know, he played
exactly about you would expect him to play, and you know,
but the students will have a plan for him, you know,
and it'll be any stuff that he hasn't seen or
he's not used to, and you know, they'll try to
keep it as a simple as they can for him,
(34:07):
you know, which is what you gotta do, you know,
because you know they have some problems up front with
their off t line and what the Steevers can do
and have done, especially in the last game. We're gonna
post some problems to him.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
You know. They got they got, they.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
Got their handsful Merril then not Minnesota Cleveland game. Did
you get the impression I thought early in the game
Gabriel was more likely to try to throw it into
a tight window. I thought when they were playing with
the lead in the second half, he had some throwaways
looked like to me on third down, almost as if
he was playing not to get intercepted.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Well, you know, I know what you're talking about. You
got like one old.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Ones where he just missed hair mailed it out about Yeah, like, okay,
he's better than that.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He just threw that, yeah, yeah, And I would agree
with you, he would rather And actually that's part of
the you're a smart player. You know, if you can't
make the throw or you're uncertain about it, well don't
give it to them, you know, don't try something that.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
You're not not good at. Now, there were a couple of.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Throws he made that were you know, that to the
tied end on that bow out that corner route. You know,
he made a really good throw, the type of throws
that you got to make in our league consistently.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
So that's why I thought he functioned pretty well.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You know, he he didn't do anything dangerous to the team,
and he executed the players. That's what's interesting. I was
watching takement. I told my wife, Van's like, they're going
to bench Joe Flacco. There's no way that you can
let Joe Flack go play like he's playing and be
okay with that, because I'm telling you, I'm watching Joe
Flack and I'm like, I think Joe doesn't want to
(35:43):
play like Joe's like because they ran like a bubble
screen to the left and then they ran a single
route to the right side, so they had two options. Right,
so the bubble screen is perfect. I mean, he should
dump it off. He looks at it. So it comes
back to the corner and they got to in and
out on him. He's doubled right, and Joe just sits
there and say, and then he throws the ball out
of the end zone, I mean out of the out
of bounds. And he like he didn't exchu any of
(36:05):
the plays with any consistency whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
He lived before a rookie player.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I'm like, there's no way that they could keep this
type playing football game.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
I could kill.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
He looks like he didn't want to play, so I
was not surprising they decided to bench him and then trading.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, and he's heading down there to Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
He drove down and had a call with Zach Taylor
on the way down to talk about the offense on
the five and a half hour drive from Cleveland to Cincinnati.
Speaker 11 (36:35):
Driving past the billboard on I seventy one that says
Hell is real.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
And that's where you're heading.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Now, I can tell you that they they are.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Listen, if Joe Flappell, you have to be a lot
more excited about what they have as far as weapons
there cland And I really honest, I really believed that
was Joe Flapple's problems, Like, man, we just you know,
we don't have anybody you know, now, they they do
have people, as we all know. However, they're offensive line.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, well let's let we'll have lots to talk about
next week on that.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, But then he asked you one more, one more
thing about this game this weekend. I want to know
what you think the Steelers will do offensively. Will it
look a lot like what we saw against Minnesota?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I would think? So, you know, listen, they got some
they got some problems up front.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
They take care absolutely well.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
You know, ninety five is a problem, you know then,
and they don't just have ninety five, but ninety five
is going to go both sides of the ball and
both sides of se You never know where he's gonna
line up, so that's a problem. You know, he's gonna
he's gonna challenge both tackles, and they got other guys
that can get after after things as well. So they're
(37:50):
gonna have to get you know, the improvement that they
may going into the Minnesota game, that's as much improvement
as they're going to have to make going into the
Cleveland game. And if they do make that jump, then
they're gonna be okay. But they're gonna have to.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Make that jump.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
