Speaker 1 (00:12):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is WDVE Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
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 desk.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The tension in the.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Room of waiting her for her to walk on this thing,
and everybody like nobody paid attention to the whole class, and.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Everybody's just like, oh my god, she's gonna walk.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
To walk around, and the time she finally stepped on it,
the whole class is just a bomb. And the funniest
thing about this woman was that she was a Spanish
teacher with a speech.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Impediments Spanish with a stutter.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
She could.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
A Spanish correct that's a big deal. And so what
would she roll then?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So when she step on.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
When she stepped on the stink bomb, she went, oh,
whe folks, do you all think that's really funny?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Brandy Bellman and the DV morning shows still alive, that
got back to her yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I guarantee you anyone from Sailor that heard that knew
exactly what teacher I was talking about, right, she's legendary.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, I mean the guy I referenced yesterday. I was
second about that. I was like, oh, man, anybody that
went to my high school, because there are plenty down
here and and you know people that listen up there.
He was a legendary guy. He was alright, you know,
like getting him angry was the greatest thing. I was
thinking about that conversation later in the day, just the
pure joy we had at annoying teachers, Like if you
(01:58):
could get them mad, get them off their rocker. Oh yeah,
it's like the best feeling.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It was like throwing a snowball at a car and
getting it to stop when you were a kid. You're like, yeah,
Jacob running, did you guys make up stories about your teacher?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Because I told you, like, we had the one teacher
where we were convinced she got struck by lightning because
anytime it rained, it seemed.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Like she was not there, which is amazing.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
And then we had another teacher who sold these these
incredible homemade cookies, and we made up this whole story
about how he had Amish people chained up in his
basement and oh yeah, and stuff like that, and then
you know, I brought up the teacher that we threw
gum in his hair, and anybody that went to Alderdyce
if you had mister Trieb's period seven, you know in
(02:44):
nineteen ninety seven, you remember that the dude lost it.
He flipped out. He was in the front of the class.
He just started like he went in his hair and
he just all of a sudden it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Worse now it's clumped.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah, and he just stormed out of the room, back
in with two security guards and was like, I'm gonna
find who did this, and you're going to jail.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
That's the funniest throwing gum. We're gonna throw the god.
It was so funny.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I don't know what that feeling is when you're a
kid you can get an adult to break It was
the best. I I The funniest was like because we
were like there were some teachers you could go back
and forth with and they were okay with it, you know.
And we were doing a patron drive one day, which
was like you had to sell a certain amount of
magazine subscriptions or whatever, and they had a.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Battle between math classes.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
All the math teachers drank together. They had like it
was like a fraternity to math teachers. They have of
them were football coaches. And one guy his name was
Keeger because he looked like a cake. And he walked
into the room and he put two eighty five on
the board because that's what his class had done. And
he looked around all proud, and this kid, Ben Selkaski, goes, now,
put your height and when you could insult a teazer
(04:03):
and then the whole class like dies like the eraser
just flew it Ben's head. Immediately, he went right over
to him, jacked him up. Oh yeah, God, what a
fun I mean those and god, he jacked him up.
Oh well, I mean yeah, I don't think anything. You know,
he didn't like beat the hell out of him or anything.
It was more like anything that's funny, hoo good. You know,
(04:26):
he'd give him some shots, and uh, it was more
than you would want, you know what I mean. It
wouldn't be like a playful like hey, you know you wouldn't.
It would be like a upside You're.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Like, all right, bad.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
There's a degree of innocence to all of these.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I mean there really is.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well there, I think I told you that, you know
at Shaylor that we did the bouncy ball thing at
like an assembly where for some reason it just took
off that everybody just started getting the bouncy balls to
get out of it, like a quarter like Michelle, and
then super balls. Yeah, and then there just happened to
be a bouncy ball day word of mouth, that happened
(05:09):
on like a pep Rowy day or an assembly day.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And so we're having an assembly.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And everybody's on either side of the gymnasium and then
just one bouncy ball goes across the basketball court, and
then another one, and then another one, and then the
next thing, you know, it's just like Flight of the
Valkyries and then no more assemblies for the rest of
the year. But at the same time, I don't know,
(05:34):
but then like when you talk back on it, you're
like the innocence of that at the same time.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
The coordination, like like I'm saying, like, how did that
happen before the Internet? First of all, you couldn't find
the culprit right because it's just everybody had them, and
so there's not like a tweet, you know now that
there's Instagram posts like our house got egged and I
didn't even realize it it got egged till like a
(06:02):
month later.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But I'm pulling up to the house and I'm like,
what the hell's on our roof?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
And I said, Kenny, I think we got egged, and
She's like, no, we did. I And there was an
Instagram post about it and was like, hey Kennedy, and
it was a picture of our house from Zillow from
like twenty and sixteen, so our house looked completely different.
But they're like you're next or whatever, and so like
they were like the principal was able to go online
(06:28):
get you know, fine, find the admin of the Instagram
Like it's immediately Tracy back in the day, you just
hear something in the hallway like hey, super Bowls on Friday.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Exactly word, Yeah, who told us?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Who started this?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I have no idea where most of the stuff that
happened like that even started.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, there was a story.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
There had to be an influencer, like, oh, yes, influencer.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, there was a story last week with the town
of Jessup, Iowa has announced that it's and tpeing like
they are like passing a law where you you know,
you now will get it crime. It's like actual crime
to tpee a house. So if you use toilet paper too,
I don't know, yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Halloween or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, which I don't know if it's an actual crime.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now well, I mean frequently it happens.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You got your house tpaid right by your neighbors.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
But by by my neighbor's son, who denied it and
I knew he did it, and I won't tell you
how I knew he did it. And then I was like, ah,
I'm like pretty funny. I'm like, so when you clean
it up and he's like, clean it up, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah,
you got to clean it up.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
He's like, what that's now that's how it goes. I'm like, yeah, no, no,
you got to clean it up. Oh yeah, you got
to clean.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It up because I'm like, or you can pay to
have me get somebody to clean it up, one or
the other.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's like this part, this isn't part of tpeeing. I'm
like it is now.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He's the greatest kid too, I mean, I love him,
but like, you know, I think you just wanted to
bust my chops and at the time it was not
also the best time to do it.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, oh yeah, that makes it way worse, or if
it was around the pandemic.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Remember when nobody could get toilet paper.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Uh yeah, you can't be TP and people like that's
when you let people know like you're you have way
too much money.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But my awesome mail carrier brought me toilet paper because
she heard me talking about how I only had bamboo
toilet paper on the air, and she brought some to
my house, which was like the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
And then you went out in toilet paper people's house
with the Vampa stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I just yeah, dress up like the Mummy. I just
used it really really willy nilly. But there's a street
in my Lebanon South Metacraft that gets completely draped with
toilet paper every Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I remember you telling me that. And I don't even
really know where that is. Is that up behind nineteen go.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Up Bower Hill Road, turn right before you get to Washington.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah yeah, wait, it gets t peed.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Every every year.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And I'm talking I've lived there twenty years. Man, it's
twenty years it's been going on there where. I don't
know how that gets passed down. There's all kinds of
stuff that gets passed down. Oh yeah, you know. But
that's a that's a legacy that's kind of a hard
one to uphold. But some brothers are telling other brothers
(09:23):
and telling their brothers. But now they're at the point
where like the people who started this are parents.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Oh yeah, you know what I mean, Like, that's how
long it's been going on.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Well, the uh speaking of Mount Lebanon, the student section
of the Mount Lebanon, like at the Mount Lebanon football games,
the person who stands in the very front has like
blue camo pants that basically go back to the nineties.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I don't know if they're the same page really, but it.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Is that it's it's a specific look that you stand
on the rail and it's been going on since you know,
I know people that have gone there, you know, twenty
five thirty years ago.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Now I love that kind of stuff. I mean, he's
still going on.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
When I go to my high school, if I go
to any games, football games, is my brother's a coach
of there. They have the same cheers like from when
we were kids there, And I always wonder like what
ear did that stuff start? Like when did they start
doing those And it's just it makes sense that they
keep going and going and going yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I wonder if they have the same metal detectors at
South Stadium that they had when.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You know what, it is nice that they do. You know,
you like to have those legacy medal detectors like that.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
It's see it passed down from generation to generation. Well,
we didn't have our own field.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
We had to go to the south side to South
Stadium to play our football game.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We only had one in Erie. That was the main
stadium back then. Now they have separate.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Ones, but they all have their own.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
But there was one big Veterans Memorial Stadium that everybody
played in except McDowell was a had Eerie. Mcd out
had a big stadium also, So those are the two stadiums.
You were either playing at McDowell or you were playing
at Veterans Stadium. And now it's a little different because
a couple of the high schools have closed.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But you did share the stadium.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
It wasn't like you had your own place, so you
weren't going into anybody's territory there.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
We played so many.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Games down here though, I mean I played North Alleghany,
Mount leban and No.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
It was incredible.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Pine Richland looks like lambeau Field it's insane.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, even I was at the sports complex at Brentwood
is so huge, like it's fairly new, and I went
for my nephew's game. He had like a you know
whatever JV game, and I was just thinking the amount
of money they put into the sports complexes now versus
what they had back then.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Sports are just so it is business. Now, it's a
booming business.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Because so much of it is a racket too, right, Like.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yeah, the club teams took it to a whole different level.
And then if you have anybody from the school that
becomes successful as an alumni, they come back and pour
into the school like McAfee did with Plumb.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's what Mark Stepanovsky did with our high school when
he finished his NFL career with the Cowboys and a
couple of Super Bowl championships being Troy Aikman Center after
his illustrious career here, Pitt. Wow, he put millions of
dollars into you know, this is funny. This is what
a good guy he was. He put millions of dollars
into our high school's weight room and our practice facility,
(12:30):
so we had a separate place you'd go, you'd get
busted to the practice facility. It was like two and
a half miles, three miles away from school, and he
built that up into like it looked like it's like
a college kind of facility. It's really really nice. He
spent all that money on it. And I was with him.
We were out in California for our friend's wedding and
he was about to be honored by our high school.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
And this is like two thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
He's about to be honored by our high school and
they called him and told him they were rescinding the honor.
He was going into the hall of honor because he
had come out in favor of marijuana.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Oh my god, I remember this, and he I've told
you this before. He he hung at the phone and
there's I remember, there's four of us in the car
and he had just built all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
He was considered a pariah for his stance.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
One hundred percent, and he I was like, man, f them,
that is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You should you know, I'm saying the petty thing.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I'm like, you should take back everything again, like, don't
pay for another thing. He's like, nah, man, He's like,
I'm not gonna punish the kids. He's like, he's not
their fault. He's like, this is a bunch of idiots,
and he was just so much kind of above the fray.
I remember he went on Bill O'Reilly because he Steps
spin factor. He because Steps was a member of the
(13:48):
UH Texas chapter of Normal with him and Willie Nelson.
They were Willie Nelson was a president, and I think
Bill Maher and Steps were on the board and Bill
Riiley was eviscerating him and calling a druggy in all
the stuff. And I was watching it with Alan Fanica
and Mike Schneck and we were like it somewhere in
the sausae or in the strip actually, and they were
(14:11):
like so admiring how he handled himself. I always remember that, like,
I don't know if I'd have that kind of poise
to be like, yeah, you're just you're so ignorant right now,
I can't get mad at you. And that's how Steps was.
And they knew what he was trying to do because
they're like, he's saying these NFL players were taking all.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Of these other technois and drugs and getting addicted, right and.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
He's saying, here's the thing you can do that will
keep you from getting addicted and you can deal with
your pain. And so he was greatly admired by a
lot of the NFL for that, you know, but it had.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
To be difficult for him because you don't know at
that point that the future you're fighting for, if that's
even realistic at all, Like there might be so much
pushback that it's a flash in the pan and what
were we all thinking? This is not going to get passed? Right,
So like, yeah, when Bill Maher and the power structure
is coming down on you, it had to also feel
(15:04):
like so deflating and defeating, like all right, man, I'm
just trying to get people to smoke.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah. Well, to be clear, yeah, Bill Maher was on
his side.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It was Bill a right and a lot of the
players really admired him for doing that, but the Cowboys
ostracized him.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
He kind of got isn't that hilarious with the white Room?
I know?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, And of course that's all different now, but time
heal that wah, Yeah, definitely and he.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Actually he did Michael Irvin come back, he's doing coke.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Set him on the sidelines in Miami.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yes, he took up his belt and started whipping the
wall on Saturday, the turnover chain.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
No, but he yeah, he's down into he's back in Dallas,
and I think he's you know, pretty well received down there.
I mean, I think he was smart enough to know
he was an academic All American, a pit He was
smart enough to know that he was on the right
side of history with that one.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
But it had a negative connotation.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
It had like this stoner, druggie, total user, idiot kind
of right verbiage attached to it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Sure, and now, but a lot of you could probably
point to a lot of things in society that started
out that way and then ended up something that it
was like widely accepted. I mean, medicinal marijuana is now
a you know, accepted thing that's you know, and it's
being legalized state by state for recreational use too, so
you know, And I think he just quickly pointed out
(16:32):
the hypocrisy of alcohol being readily.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Available everywhere, and we all know that argument.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But getting back to the actual like association with high school,
it is crazy how that will follow you your whole life.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Like my college was so much.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I loved my college experience, but I don't love like
Penn State the way I loved my high school, and
I don't think that was the same thing for a
lot of people, but that was definitely the case for me.
I absolutely because it was so big.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Because you know, Kennedy and I are going and looking
at schools and I I tell her because PSU is
like high up on her list, and I'm like, you know,
that's it's a wonderful school.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
It's so big.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
I don't know that you'll ever have like you'll you'll
be connected to the people for the rest of your life.
But as far as the experience in the school, I
don't know. Is it like you're you're a tiny fish
in the ocean.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Like, well, you find it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
School's that big, you will invariably find a crowd that
makes it small pretty quick. Yeah, you And it doesn't
seem to goble dorm. Yes, and if you you know,
the Greek life there was so big. But when you
first get there, it is overwhelming to if you go
to if you went to a house, state to be
the same thing any city, any big school. But you
(17:49):
quickly find your people. And that's really the great thing
about college and the irony is those are the people
I stayed closest with, Like I only talk to one
or two people from my high school, but but I
talked to tons of people I went to college with.
But my memory of the actual time in high school. Yeah,
I think it's just because maybe it's that age or something,
you know, where you're like, you just start doing adult things.
(18:14):
You really are breaking out of being a kid, and
your adult sense of humor is forming, and your social
graces are forming, you know, and you look back on it.
And that's why those John Hughes movies you can watch
them today, I think, and they still kind of resonate,
you know, it hits home.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I felt like in college, all I was trying to
do was get done with college. So when I hear
people talk about their college experience, it's I there's something
regrettable about it for me because I don't relate to
it as much.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And at the same time it worked out fine.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So like, you know, I maybe I think I'm supposed
to regret that I didn't have the same like I
didn't have like a Greek life experience, or I don't
have like a ton of friends that I left college with.
But at the same time, I was like playing in bands,
so like I was establishing like a different set of
friend groups. So like my Greek life was the thirty
(19:11):
first ree pub or like the smilingguage.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Different thing.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
But like I was just racing to get done with
school as quickly as possible because something in my brain
was wired.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I just wanted to start working.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So I like, yeah, stacked all my care Like all
of my semesters were just stacked.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
How many credits did you go into college with A lot?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I was doing AP classes and I was going to CCAC,
and I was taking classes over the summer, so like
every summer I was taking college courses because I was
just like I want to get done. And I graduated
early and I just was like, let's get out of here.
And then I, you know, I just wanted to I
just wanted to work.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
But maybe that was like a lesson for you to
be like, Okay, well now in future, like I want
to savor things like maybe moments you know that are
that are fleeting constantly, like it's a disappearing sidewalk. In college,
I was aware the whole time because I went to
three different colleges, Like I started at Robert Morris, went
to pitt for a semester and then was up at
Emerson in Boston, and I was aware the entire time
(20:13):
in Boston that it was a wonderland and that it
would never be like this again. It was the most
weird state of presence that I've ever been that I
ever was as a as a youth, like when you're
just kind of dumb and you're rushing through things or
you don't feel comfortable. I got there and I was like,
this is shangri law, Like there's no match in this.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I had profound sadness when I graduated from college. Oh
it was a bummer because it was like, oh, it's over.
And I almost went to law school, but I got
a job at that accounting firm here in Pittsburgh, and
I was like, all right, I'll take the job to
pay off some of the college and then if you
don't see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
And then I listened to DV every day. I'm like,
maybe I should do that instead. And then five years
later I was on the show Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Wow, five years later, did you ever go back? Like?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Because I went to visit people at Penn State when
I was like twenty four, did.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I ever go back? Bill? I never left. I went
every so First of all.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
When I was working in Pittsburgh, I was dating someone
who was still at Penn State. Yeah, and I went
back every weekend and stayed at my fraternity house with
all of my friends, like in one of my buddies.
We did get sad, though, because like here's where it
got sad, and it's what I I. This is weird,
but I have not gone back in a long time.
I was playing in the bars there because my band
started to get big regionally and we were getting booked
(21:36):
down there. A lot of this place called the Crowbar.
We played the Cafe and the Crowbar. It was like
when we kind of graduated and I was doing like
you'd get these big money gigs at fraternities and stuff,
and I was like twenty six years.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Old and you know, no bills really.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And I'm still going to Penn State and I'm playing
at fraternity parties and stuff. And then somebody come up
to me and they'd be like, hey, you Andy, you
knew my older brother something. It would be like this
little kid, and I'd be like, your older brother was
younger than me, you know, yeah, I'm like yeah, But
there was always the one dude who was still there
(22:12):
and everybody had one of these in their car. It's
like he could have been an architect, a doctor, you know,
any eight year, nine year schooling program. This kid could
have had every degree, but he always just still somehow
never finished.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
There for the culture and the atmosphere, and that was. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Our buddy Reese was there for a long time. My
dad called him Sophomore Reese because he was like he
just loved that he never graduated. He's like the eternal sophomore,
always the sophomore, and he was there till he was
almost thirty, just chasing the dragon. Yeah, and I again,
I was going back so much that it did start
to feel kind of sad. And I was like, I
think I spent too much time going back because the
first year.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I went every weekend.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Well, and they also have at Penn State like Arts
Fest and like all of the different opportunities for alum
to come back, and it's accepted.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
But like I went up there just to visit my buddy.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
And I remember sitting I can I can see the
apartment now, and this girl is like, it's my birthday
and I'm like, oh my god, it's my birthday too,
and she's like how old are you?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
And I'm like, I'm twenty four and she's like, what
are you doing here? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Yep, And it like ruined my night and I and
I never went back after that, Yeah, what.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I played piano with the Alisair Grill for a while,
which is like a dinner place there, and they wanted
to keep hiring me, and I just felt like, this
is that trap and I'm going to be the guy
in the movie pretty soon.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Yeah, And you.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Don't realize that you're just trying to like get all
the juice out of the You're just ringing out the
experience for every little yeah bit. But then like it's
never it's never as good.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
No, it's not. It's about the youth. But I you know,
the crazy thing is how you revert right back to
those same dynamics of the relationships you had in college
when you see people that you haven't seen in a
long time. Last summer on in San Francisco, I went
to see a Billy String show with the Greek and
one of my college buddies I literally had not seen
since I was in college's there. It's like I saw
(24:15):
him yesterday, no kidding, Yeah, we had to wait in
line to get in for like an hour and a
half together, and I'm just like catching up and I'm like, so, dude,
what's up.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
And we were bump bump bump right.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Back and forth again, you know, and I'm like, it's
just so funny how you can go right back to
that time.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Yeah, it's the best.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I mean, I was literally just texting yesterday with Gareth
and you were in college here and yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Went to college together.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
And he has this he had this joke where he
would do the Nationwide jingle, but he would but he
would say Paul Walker died. And and I saw this
Instagram reel of this guy singing Nationwide is on your
side as like a bunch of different female actresses, and
(24:58):
I go, you won't do it, but with Paul Walker died,
and he goes, wait a minute, what happened? Because he
plays dumb, He acts like he doesn't know that Paul
Walker died, and then I have to explain to him
that there's been a tragedy.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
It's the best.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
It's a bit that's been going on for fifteen years
or however long Paul Walker has been dead, kind of
like the Browns.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's the bit that keeps on going on yesterday trading
away more assets and I'm not exactly sure what they're doing.
Steelers getting set for a Sunday one o'clock kickoff with
the Cleveland Browns and Dylan Gabriel at quarterback. Mike's got
a full sports reporting act.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I'd really like to hear some Ted Nudge listeners take
over during the Electric Lunch.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
She could put on some ACDC awesome.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You build the menu and you reach out to Michelle
Michaels on her Socials phone or the talkback button on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
I Love Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on DVE from the.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Bridgeville Appliance on TV morning show.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Sub brought to you by Bridgeville Plants. Bill, tell your
daughter it's a big world out there. Get ready for
it by going to a big school.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I mean, look, she's got big schools on the list.
You jump into deep end and you learn how to swim.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Okay, just in life, you know, dealing with diversity, dealing
with people, dealing with bureaucracy.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Bureaucracy is a big part of it. Learning of a
big school.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But I will also say there are I think just
as many benefits to a small school. They're equally beneficial
for different reasons, Like not every person should go to
a big school, correct.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
I knew that I wasn't responsible enough to go to
a big school. That was my essay, was that I
was responsible enough to know that I wasn't responsible enough
to move away to school right away.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
You guys are just lame enough for me, and they're real.
It's not unfailed.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Finances are factor, particularly when you go out of state. Yeah,
but when you go out of state, you're out of state.
You don't go running home. Every time something goes sideways.
You figure it the f out resiliency or you don't,
but you know, you learn how to deal with that
either way.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I had a pretty good time Michigan State on the oh, yeah,
that comes across. I kind of enjoyed my five years there.
How did you pick Michigan State. It's kind of weird.
My brother went there.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
He's significantly older than I am, and we took a
family trip. He got married when he was a sophomore
in nineteen sixty eight, so I was like seven years
old and the family went out there. It's kind of
the first time I ever went anywhere other than a
Equippa or the Jersey Shore. I was like, wow, you know,
the pastoral trees and Midwest postcard thing. And then as
(27:45):
I developed in life, I know I wanted to get
into sports journalism and they're very good at that, so
it just kind of worked out.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
But at the time the fifth year came round and
wait to get out and start my life. And ever
since I go back as off.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, there's something about it that way. You're in
a big rush as a youth.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Yeah, well, because you know, I'd have had enough of this.
I want to be a real adult now and.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
The whole second half of your life is spent just
pumping the brakes, slowing down.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Let's go for a walk, Let's enjoy the leaves, Let's
go back for the Indiana Even Steele's getting ready for
a pretty big one on Sunday.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
AFC North ball is at hand, and offensive tackle Broderick
Jones doesn't need one of those schedule magnets on the
refrigerator to know what's coming next. Head coach Mike Tomlin
has already put out the vibe, if not the word,
in advance of sundays hosting of Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
You can just tell, like when it's a divisional week,
he comes in with a different mindset, a different fire
by himself. So you know he he does a good job,
you know, just preparing us and having us ready for
those those games when they come around, and you know
just the the great it takes to get through one
of those games because they're so physical or you just
(29:08):
got to continue to grind it out.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
And he knows that and he tells us that.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So you know, I feel like he prepares us the
best way possible for those those games.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Yeah, stop me if you heard this one before. But
AFC football, AFC North football is different. Jones knows that.
And the Steelers that throne are about to find out.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
You know, you just got to have that uncle about you.
It's time to play those little big brothers in the
in your division, so you know, you just got to.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Be on your a game.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
There's so many marquee players, but free agents and rookies
that have never seen the AFC North.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Aaron Rodgers said he asked Patrick Queen to tell him
about it.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That was my that's my i'l goo for today because
I love what he said his words about it to me.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
It made me. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Patrick Queen is the perfect person to talk about because
he's been on both sides of the biggest rivalry in
the North.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
DK Metcalf said he's heard that this is where real
football is played.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
These games are he seems built for it. Do you
guys know?
Speaker 8 (30:13):
I love these games and I'm telling you don't sleep
on this one.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Dude, Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
They had a coach in a basement with COVID and
a bunch of linemen who introduced himself to the quarterback
before a game and they beat us.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah, and then they got rid of the quarterback. Yeah,
smart move because.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
All he did was speak to Steelers in the playoffs
and now he's maybe gonna beat the MVP.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Disaster dude, that that team has Super Bowl aspirations for sure.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Tampa, Oh oh, no question. Hope they win at least ten.
They look straight for the Brownies. Yesterday they sent cornerback
Greg Newsom to Jacksonville like a Pirates move for cornerback
Tyson Campbell. They're both first rounders from twenty twenty one draft.
The differences Campbell has signed and an extension Newsom has not.
(31:02):
Newsomb had been a starter. They made him their nickel
last year. He would have been to nickel again this
year if not for an injury sustained by cornerback Martin Emerson,
so he was starting again. Was Newsom, He's still pretty
good player. Campbell's pretty good player. It was this weird
in season kind of thing. Browns, I'm guessing are thinking,
we're not going to resign this guy.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Let's get his replacement now.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Wasn't Al just talking about him yesterday on the program?
He was about how he's been struggling this season.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
I still think the weak links in that secondary number
twenty six and number five there they kind of alternate
nickel depending on whether they want to go big or small.
But it is going to be a game where you
got to bring the Umphus Broderick said, you know, he
had the media corp yesterday trying to figure out how
to spell.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Oomph oh mph. Yeah, that's what we came up with. Yeah.
Oh really generally, I don't know if it was a
real word. I thought it might have been you m PF.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
I was going here for some But there was a
little discussion about that practice report from yesterday for the
Steelers not encouraging, not discouraging.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
Calvin Austin, Alex high Smith limited no. Jalen Ramsey, Joey
Porter Junior, and Jalen Warren are full participants. The Browns
have some limited issues, but you know this point of
the week, some guys just sort of maintenance. We'll see
by Friday if any of that stuff is serious or not.
(32:27):
One thing to keep an eye on their left tackle,
Katie Leviston Calf was one of the limited guys. He's
filling in because the starting left tackle, Dwan Jones is
on injured reserve, and Levinson's the week link of the
offensive line. He's penalty prone and he's just not as
good as there are other four guys. If he doesn't
(32:50):
go for whatever reason, now you're down to your third
left tackle, which doesn't seem my deal.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
No, it does not, although in moments in the past, Mike,
we've thought that and it hasn't killed the team that
we're playing.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Particularly when it's a division game, because none of it.
Nothing matters in these division games. Rock Fight at the
fifty coming up.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
TJ.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Watt versus Miles Garrett. To me, that is this game
if TJ. Watty they have in the past found a
way to neutralize TJ.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Watt. We don't always do so great with Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
He does he.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Recently, yes, but historically Wat's done better in these matchups. Yeah,
Garrett's actually not his better number. Garrett had a three
second game against Pittsford. I think it was last year.
I mean, that's what I'm thinking about prior to that
is UH has not been himself usually in these games.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Because they pay so much attention to.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
Yeah, they both just get constantly annoyed and addressed. And
I think when you're that good, those guys affect the game.
When they are not collecting stats, they are dictating blocking scheme,
are dictating what the offense can run. They're dictating when
they can run it. They're just they're both as good
as it gets.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
That's Look, you have a quarterback who's playing his second
NFL game. Yes, they're they're coming back from London. They're
in disarray. They traded their starting quarterback from camp and
that they like the quarterbacks they paid attention to and
trading camp are gone.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
You have two rookies on the roster and Bailey's appy.
What was that the scenario again for the playoff game?
Speaker 8 (34:34):
Coach as COVID special team's coach that used to be
in the navies to coach the offensive line doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
They introduced themselves to the quarterback because they had not met.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
And they won, and they won. They didn't even stretch.
Remember they went to two World Wars. Those guys didn't stretch.
I forgot about that. You can't stretch, Norman, You're seven pounds.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Can't wait for Sunday the one o'clock Steelers and the Browns.

As a priest said on the free iHeartRadio app, I'm John.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Morgan of Morgan and Morgan. Why should you hire America's
largest injury law firm for your case? There's lots of reasons,
just like there's a reason millions of I mean, we
are so excited for students Browns here.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
But it's funny how that talk about like high school
and college has derailed us in every break and everybody.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
So, and that was from a conversation yesterday.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
But there is there's something about talking about it because
I guess in my age, I don't talk about my
high school very much, only on the show when we
reference high schools, you know. But college life, God, I
couldn't imagine living through the college years with social media.
(37:01):
Could not imagine it totally different, could not imagine it.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
It was just coming into play when I was in
college and it was Facebook. And that was when Facebook
they hadn't opened up the floodgates to let the olds
in yet, and it was you just had to register
with your college email.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
It was like a college thing.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
Yeah, yeah, like specifically, and then they were like, let's
let old people in and then it all went to hell.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
So every week we like to do a segment called
rating our algorithm, because we all look at different things
on the Internet.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
We all are slaves to the algo, so kind to
do that. We're We're okay, So, Abbie, let's start with yours.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I have never ever had to arrest somebody, but in
the situation of the video that I saw here, I
feel like if they pooped their pants, I'd probably just
let them.
Speaker 9 (38:02):
Go, just a non criminal questions like did you put
your pants?
Speaker 4 (38:09):
If no, well I'm getting ready to no.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Ready literally, yeah I think you did?
Speaker 4 (38:15):
You work past? Oh my life? Literally hold are you
our pants through? We cannot be pooping our.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Pants were drowned.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
That's not my.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Ground for that. Well, no, what.
Speaker 9 (38:38):
This works because no, I poop my pants.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Peping through.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Really, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
I don't want to waste your.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Time by taking into the station and having to sit
in your wet poop pants.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
I will take you to the station right away.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
Please don't put I'm begging, I'm trying. I'm gonna take
a wash first. I'm too that's so gross. So in
my algorithm this week.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Uh, you know, the Taylor Swift record coming out and
her lyrics are being widely maligned. Uh, but somebody pointed
out if you just put them to an MF. Doom
beat and use his cadence, that it really does work
out a lot better than whatever the hell she was
trying to do with them.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
If you hate Taylor Swift's lyrics, just pretend they were
written by M F.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Doom.
Speaker 10 (39:30):
I was your fall the figure which right that brown
lick up you made a deal with this devil turns
out this big up. If you want to fight, you
found it. I got the place surrounded. You'll be sleeping
with fishes before you know that you're drowning. Whose portraits
on the mantle? You'll cover it up your scandals. Just
take my kindness for weakness and find your call canceled.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I was your father. The figure pulled the wrong trigger.
This empire belongs to me. Taylor. That slaps. That's hilarious,
so good, but I don't like the way she does it.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
But I don't know if you saw the news. It
broke every record, you know, first week broke Adell's record.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Could it not? Alright? PMF doom? All right? So Bill?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
What was?
Speaker 4 (40:15):
I also have a music one.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
You know, the Steelers are not the only thing that's
international that's huge around the world. And I don't know
if this guy is from the Philippines or not, but
I think that Guns n' Roses might have a journey
replacement for Axel.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Yes, yes, god, no, okay, that was that's a different one.
Did you send a couple?
Speaker 6 (40:40):
I did send a couple, So this one is uh
okay that this guy basically keeps doing this. He talks
about his life, but in the cadence of an on
site journalist.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Yes, yes, absolutely, I am here, not there, eleven PM,
kneading desperately, one hundred snacks at least, had dinner, enormous dinner,
very full, not hungry at all, but kneading without doubt.
Food in my belly right now, something salty chip, salsa,
(41:18):
maybe even cucumber hummus to right there then, of course,
without doubt, something.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Very sweet ice cream.
Speaker 11 (41:27):
I don't really know or care, not sure how this
will end, but it's looking like many snacks will enter
my body soon. As always, thank you so much for
tuning in. My name is Marty Miller, and this is
not looking good.
Speaker 4 (41:46):
That's perfect wear Well, now I want to hear the Filipino.
There's a guy who is saying sweets out of mind
and does not know the words at all, but man,
does he nail it. We'll do it after the break.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
What do you got coming up, Abby, Well, I'll talk
about all the special guests who are coming up for
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremon erl.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Hodge, Missy Matthews, Guy Junker, our Pick six segment and more.
It's time for the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (42:13):
Daily Report on DVE, brought to you by iron Workers
Local Union Number three. They don't go to the office,
They build it, and Steelers Pro Shop get it direct
from the team at Shop dot Steelers dot com.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 9 (42:26):
The Steelers will open up AFC North Play for the
twenty twenty five season when they welcome the Browns to
Akrostur Stadium Sunday afternoon at one pm. Pittsburgh, already off
to an early lead in the division despite not playing
a division foe yet, will hope to get off to
the right start and division play against Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Something history says is probably more likely than not.
Speaker 9 (42:42):
The Steelers lead the all time series against the Browns
with a record of eighty two to sixty four and one,
and since the Browns returned to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine,
they've only managed to beat the Steelers a total of
twelve times, including in the playoffs. Furthermore, the Browns haven't
experienced a regular season win at Pittsburgh since October fifth
of two thousand and three, a twenty.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
Two game losing streak.
Speaker 9 (43:01):
All that hopes to be a good omen for the
Steelers on Sunday, but Their head coach, Mike Tomlin, also
knows a thing or two.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
About beating these Browns.
Speaker 9 (43:07):
He boasts an impressive fourteen and four record against Cleveland
in his tenure as Steelers coach.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
If the Steelers can add another wind.
Speaker 9 (43:13):
To their already impressive resume in this the AFC's oldest rivalry,
they won't only get the satisfaction of sending Little Brother
up the road to Cleveland a loser yet again, but
they'll also further strengthen their already tight grip.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
On the AFC North.
Speaker 9 (43:25):
I'm Tom Offerman with the Steelers Report.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
You see the skyline, you drive over the bridges. We
built that Ironworkers Local Union number three
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
This is WDVE Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
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 desk.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The tension in the.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Room of waiting her for her to walk on this thing,
and everybody like nobody paid attention to the whole class, and.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Everybody's just like, oh my god, she's gonna walk.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
To walk around, and the time she finally stepped on it,
the whole class is just a bomb. And the funniest
thing about this woman was that she was a Spanish
teacher with a speech.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Impediments Spanish with a stutter.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
She could.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
A Spanish correct that's a big deal. And so what
would she roll then?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So when she step on.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
When she stepped on the stink bomb, she went, oh,
whe folks, do you all think that's really funny?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Brandy Bellman and the DV morning shows still alive, that
got back to her yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I guarantee you anyone from Sailor that heard that knew
exactly what teacher I was talking about, right, she's legendary.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, I mean the guy I referenced yesterday. I was
second about that. I was like, oh, man, anybody that
went to my high school, because there are plenty down
here and and you know people that listen up there.
He was a legendary guy. He was alright, you know,
like getting him angry was the greatest thing. I was
thinking about that conversation later in the day, just the
pure joy we had at annoying teachers, Like if you
(01:58):
could get them mad, get them off their rocker. Oh yeah,
it's like the best feeling.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It was like throwing a snowball at a car and
getting it to stop when you were a kid. You're like, yeah,
Jacob running, did you guys make up stories about your teacher?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Because I told you, like, we had the one teacher
where we were convinced she got struck by lightning because
anytime it rained, it seemed.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Like she was not there, which is amazing.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
And then we had another teacher who sold these these
incredible homemade cookies, and we made up this whole story
about how he had Amish people chained up in his
basement and oh yeah, and stuff like that, and then
you know, I brought up the teacher that we threw
gum in his hair, and anybody that went to Alderdyce
if you had mister Trieb's period seven, you know in
(02:44):
nineteen ninety seven, you remember that the dude lost it.
He flipped out. He was in the front of the class.
He just started like he went in his hair and
he just all of a sudden it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Worse now it's clumped.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah, and he just stormed out of the room, back
in with two security guards and was like, I'm gonna
find who did this, and you're going to jail.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
That's the funniest throwing gum. We're gonna throw the god.
It was so funny.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I don't know what that feeling is when you're a
kid you can get an adult to break It was
the best. I I The funniest was like because we
were like there were some teachers you could go back
and forth with and they were okay with it, you know.
And we were doing a patron drive one day, which
was like you had to sell a certain amount of
magazine subscriptions or whatever, and they had a.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Battle between math classes.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
All the math teachers drank together. They had like it
was like a fraternity to math teachers. They have of
them were football coaches. And one guy his name was
Keeger because he looked like a cake. And he walked
into the room and he put two eighty five on
the board because that's what his class had done. And
he looked around all proud, and this kid, Ben Selkaski, goes, now,
put your height and when you could insult a teazer
(04:03):
and then the whole class like dies like the eraser
just flew it Ben's head. Immediately, he went right over
to him, jacked him up. Oh yeah, God, what a
fun I mean those and god, he jacked him up.
Oh well, I mean yeah, I don't think anything. You know,
he didn't like beat the hell out of him or anything.
It was more like anything that's funny, hoo good. You know,
(04:26):
he'd give him some shots, and uh, it was more
than you would want, you know what I mean. It
wouldn't be like a playful like hey, you know you wouldn't.
It would be like a upside You're.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Like, all right, bad.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
There's a degree of innocence to all of these.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I mean there really is.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well there, I think I told you that, you know
at Shaylor that we did the bouncy ball thing at
like an assembly where for some reason it just took
off that everybody just started getting the bouncy balls to
get out of it, like a quarter like Michelle, and
then super balls. Yeah, and then there just happened to
be a bouncy ball day word of mouth, that happened
(05:09):
on like a pep Rowy day or an assembly day.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And so we're having an assembly.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And everybody's on either side of the gymnasium and then
just one bouncy ball goes across the basketball court, and
then another one, and then another one, and then the
next thing, you know, it's just like Flight of the
Valkyries and then no more assemblies for the rest of
the year. But at the same time, I don't know,
(05:34):
but then like when you talk back on it, you're
like the innocence of that at the same time.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
The coordination, like like I'm saying, like, how did that
happen before the Internet? First of all, you couldn't find
the culprit right because it's just everybody had them, and
so there's not like a tweet, you know now that
there's Instagram posts like our house got egged and I
didn't even realize it it got egged till like a
(06:02):
month later.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But I'm pulling up to the house and I'm like,
what the hell's on our roof?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
And I said, Kenny, I think we got egged, and
She's like, no, we did. I And there was an
Instagram post about it and was like, hey Kennedy, and
it was a picture of our house from Zillow from
like twenty and sixteen, so our house looked completely different.
But they're like you're next or whatever, and so like
they were like the principal was able to go online
(06:28):
get you know, fine, find the admin of the Instagram
Like it's immediately Tracy back in the day, you just
hear something in the hallway like hey, super Bowls on Friday.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Exactly word, Yeah, who told us?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Who started this?
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I have no idea where most of the stuff that
happened like that even started.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, there was a story.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
There had to be an influencer, like, oh, yes, influencer.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, there was a story last week with the town
of Jessup, Iowa has announced that it's and tpeing like
they are like passing a law where you you know,
you now will get it crime. It's like actual crime
to tpee a house. So if you use toilet paper too,
I don't know, yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Halloween or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, which I don't know if it's an actual crime.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now well, I mean frequently it happens.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You got your house tpaid right by your neighbors.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
But by by my neighbor's son, who denied it and
I knew he did it, and I won't tell you
how I knew he did it. And then I was like, ah,
I'm like pretty funny. I'm like, so when you clean
it up and he's like, clean it up, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah,
you got to clean it up.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
He's like, what that's now that's how it goes. I'm like, yeah, no, no,
you got to clean it up. Oh yeah, you got
to clean.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It up because I'm like, or you can pay to
have me get somebody to clean it up, one or
the other.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's like this part, this isn't part of tpeeing. I'm
like it is now.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He's the greatest kid too, I mean, I love him,
but like, you know, I think you just wanted to
bust my chops and at the time it was not
also the best time to do it.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, oh yeah, that makes it way worse, or if
it was around the pandemic.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Remember when nobody could get toilet paper.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Uh yeah, you can't be TP and people like that's
when you let people know like you're you have way
too much money.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But my awesome mail carrier brought me toilet paper because
she heard me talking about how I only had bamboo
toilet paper on the air, and she brought some to
my house, which was like the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
And then you went out in toilet paper people's house
with the Vampa stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I just yeah, dress up like the Mummy. I just
used it really really willy nilly. But there's a street
in my Lebanon South Metacraft that gets completely draped with
toilet paper every Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I remember you telling me that. And I don't even
really know where that is. Is that up behind nineteen go.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Up Bower Hill Road, turn right before you get to Washington.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah yeah, wait, it gets t peed.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Every every year.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And I'm talking I've lived there twenty years. Man, it's
twenty years it's been going on there where. I don't
know how that gets passed down. There's all kinds of
stuff that gets passed down. Oh yeah, you know. But
that's a that's a legacy that's kind of a hard
one to uphold. But some brothers are telling other brothers
(09:23):
and telling their brothers. But now they're at the point
where like the people who started this are parents.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Oh yeah, you know what I mean, Like, that's how
long it's been going on.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Well, the uh speaking of Mount Lebanon, the student section
of the Mount Lebanon, like at the Mount Lebanon football games,
the person who stands in the very front has like
blue camo pants that basically go back to the nineties.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I don't know if they're the same page really, but it.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Is that it's it's a specific look that you stand
on the rail and it's been going on since you know,
I know people that have gone there, you know, twenty
five thirty years ago.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Now I love that kind of stuff. I mean, he's
still going on.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
When I go to my high school, if I go
to any games, football games, is my brother's a coach
of there. They have the same cheers like from when
we were kids there, And I always wonder like what
ear did that stuff start? Like when did they start
doing those And it's just it makes sense that they
keep going and going and going yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I wonder if they have the same metal detectors at
South Stadium that they had when.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You know what, it is nice that they do. You know,
you like to have those legacy medal detectors like that.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
It's see it passed down from generation to generation. Well,
we didn't have our own field.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
We had to go to the south side to South
Stadium to play our football game.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
We only had one in Erie. That was the main
stadium back then. Now they have separate.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Ones, but they all have their own.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
But there was one big Veterans Memorial Stadium that everybody
played in except McDowell was a had Eerie. Mcd out
had a big stadium also, So those are the two stadiums.
You were either playing at McDowell or you were playing
at Veterans Stadium. And now it's a little different because
a couple of the high schools have closed.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
But you did share the stadium.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
It wasn't like you had your own place, so you
weren't going into anybody's territory there.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
We played so many.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Games down here though, I mean I played North Alleghany,
Mount leban and No.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
It was incredible.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Pine Richland looks like lambeau Field it's insane.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, even I was at the sports complex at Brentwood
is so huge, like it's fairly new, and I went
for my nephew's game. He had like a you know
whatever JV game, and I was just thinking the amount
of money they put into the sports complexes now versus
what they had back then.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Sports are just so it is business. Now, it's a
booming business.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Because so much of it is a racket too, right, Like.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yeah, the club teams took it to a whole different level.
And then if you have anybody from the school that
becomes successful as an alumni, they come back and pour
into the school like McAfee did with Plumb.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's what Mark Stepanovsky did with our high school when
he finished his NFL career with the Cowboys and a
couple of Super Bowl championships being Troy Aikman Center after
his illustrious career here, Pitt. Wow, he put millions of
dollars into you know, this is funny. This is what
a good guy he was. He put millions of dollars
into our high school's weight room and our practice facility,
(12:30):
so we had a separate place you'd go, you'd get
busted to the practice facility. It was like two and
a half miles, three miles away from school, and he
built that up into like it looked like it's like
a college kind of facility. It's really really nice. He
spent all that money on it. And I was with him.
We were out in California for our friend's wedding and
he was about to be honored by our high school.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
And this is like two thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
He's about to be honored by our high school and
they called him and told him they were rescinding the honor.
He was going into the hall of honor because he
had come out in favor of marijuana.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Oh my god, I remember this, and he I've told
you this before. He he hung at the phone and
there's I remember, there's four of us in the car
and he had just built all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
He was considered a pariah for his stance.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
One hundred percent, and he I was like, man, f them,
that is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You should you know, I'm saying the petty thing.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I'm like, you should take back everything again, like, don't
pay for another thing. He's like, nah, man, He's like,
I'm not gonna punish the kids. He's like, he's not
their fault. He's like, this is a bunch of idiots,
and he was just so much kind of above the fray.
I remember he went on Bill O'Reilly because he Steps
spin factor. He because Steps was a member of the
(13:48):
UH Texas chapter of Normal with him and Willie Nelson.
They were Willie Nelson was a president, and I think
Bill Maher and Steps were on the board and Bill
Riiley was eviscerating him and calling a druggy in all
the stuff. And I was watching it with Alan Fanica
and Mike Schneck and we were like it somewhere in
the sausae or in the strip actually, and they were
(14:11):
like so admiring how he handled himself. I always remember that, like,
I don't know if I'd have that kind of poise
to be like, yeah, you're just you're so ignorant right now,
I can't get mad at you. And that's how Steps was.
And they knew what he was trying to do because
they're like, he's saying these NFL players were taking all.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Of these other technois and drugs and getting addicted, right and.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
He's saying, here's the thing you can do that will
keep you from getting addicted and you can deal with
your pain. And so he was greatly admired by a
lot of the NFL for that, you know, but it had.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
To be difficult for him because you don't know at
that point that the future you're fighting for, if that's
even realistic at all, Like there might be so much
pushback that it's a flash in the pan and what
were we all thinking? This is not going to get passed? Right,
So like, yeah, when Bill Maher and the power structure
is coming down on you, it had to also feel
(15:04):
like so deflating and defeating, like all right, man, I'm
just trying to get people to smoke.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah. Well, to be clear, yeah, Bill Maher was on
his side.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It was Bill a right and a lot of the
players really admired him for doing that, but the Cowboys
ostracized him.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
He kind of got isn't that hilarious with the white Room?
I know?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, And of course that's all different now, but time
heal that wah, Yeah, definitely and he.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Actually he did Michael Irvin come back, he's doing coke.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Set him on the sidelines in Miami.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yes, he took up his belt and started whipping the
wall on Saturday, the turnover chain.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
No, but he yeah, he's down into he's back in Dallas,
and I think he's you know, pretty well received down there.
I mean, I think he was smart enough to know
he was an academic All American, a pit He was
smart enough to know that he was on the right
side of history with that one.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
But it had a negative connotation.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
It had like this stoner, druggie, total user, idiot kind
of right verbiage attached to it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Sure, and now, but a lot of you could probably
point to a lot of things in society that started
out that way and then ended up something that it
was like widely accepted. I mean, medicinal marijuana is now
a you know, accepted thing that's you know, and it's
being legalized state by state for recreational use too, so
you know, And I think he just quickly pointed out
(16:32):
the hypocrisy of alcohol being readily.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Available everywhere, and we all know that argument.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But getting back to the actual like association with high school,
it is crazy how that will follow you your whole life.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Like my college was so much.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I loved my college experience, but I don't love like
Penn State the way I loved my high school, and
I don't think that was the same thing for a
lot of people, but that was definitely the case for me.
I absolutely because it was so big.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Because you know, Kennedy and I are going and looking
at schools and I I tell her because PSU is
like high up on her list, and I'm like, you know,
that's it's a wonderful school.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
It's so big.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
I don't know that you'll ever have like you'll you'll
be connected to the people for the rest of your life.
But as far as the experience in the school, I
don't know. Is it like you're you're a tiny fish
in the ocean.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Like, well, you find it.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
School's that big, you will invariably find a crowd that
makes it small pretty quick. Yeah, you And it doesn't
seem to goble dorm. Yes, and if you you know,
the Greek life there was so big. But when you
first get there, it is overwhelming to if you go
to if you went to a house, state to be
the same thing any city, any big school. But you
(17:49):
quickly find your people. And that's really the great thing
about college and the irony is those are the people
I stayed closest with, Like I only talk to one
or two people from my high school, but but I
talked to tons of people I went to college with.
But my memory of the actual time in high school. Yeah,
I think it's just because maybe it's that age or something,
you know, where you're like, you just start doing adult things.
(18:14):
You really are breaking out of being a kid, and
your adult sense of humor is forming, and your social
graces are forming, you know, and you look back on it.
And that's why those John Hughes movies you can watch
them today, I think, and they still kind of resonate,
you know, it hits home.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I felt like in college, all I was trying to
do was get done with college. So when I hear
people talk about their college experience, it's I there's something
regrettable about it for me because I don't relate to
it as much.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And at the same time it worked out fine.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So like, you know, I maybe I think I'm supposed
to regret that I didn't have the same like I
didn't have like a Greek life experience, or I don't
have like a ton of friends that I left college with.
But at the same time, I was like playing in bands,
so like I was establishing like a different set of
friend groups. So like my Greek life was the thirty
(19:11):
first ree pub or like the smilingguage.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Different thing.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
But like I was just racing to get done with
school as quickly as possible because something in my brain
was wired.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I just wanted to start working.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So I like, yeah, stacked all my care Like all
of my semesters were just stacked.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
How many credits did you go into college with A lot?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I was doing AP classes and I was going to CCAC,
and I was taking classes over the summer, so like
every summer I was taking college courses because I was
just like I want to get done. And I graduated
early and I just was like, let's get out of here.
And then I, you know, I just wanted to I
just wanted to work.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
But maybe that was like a lesson for you to
be like, Okay, well now in future, like I want
to savor things like maybe moments you know that are
that are fleeting constantly, like it's a disappearing sidewalk. In college,
I was aware the whole time because I went to
three different colleges, Like I started at Robert Morris, went
to pitt for a semester and then was up at
Emerson in Boston, and I was aware the entire time
(20:13):
in Boston that it was a wonderland and that it
would never be like this again. It was the most
weird state of presence that I've ever been that I
ever was as a as a youth, like when you're
just kind of dumb and you're rushing through things or
you don't feel comfortable. I got there and I was like,
this is shangri law, Like there's no match in this.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I had profound sadness when I graduated from college. Oh
it was a bummer because it was like, oh, it's over.
And I almost went to law school, but I got
a job at that accounting firm here in Pittsburgh, and
I was like, all right, I'll take the job to
pay off some of the college and then if you
don't see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
And then I listened to DV every day. I'm like,
maybe I should do that instead. And then five years
later I was on the show Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Wow, five years later, did you ever go back? Like?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Because I went to visit people at Penn State when
I was like twenty four, did.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I ever go back? Bill? I never left. I went
every so First of all.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
When I was working in Pittsburgh, I was dating someone
who was still at Penn State. Yeah, and I went
back every weekend and stayed at my fraternity house with
all of my friends, like in one of my buddies.
We did get sad, though, because like here's where it
got sad, and it's what I I. This is weird,
but I have not gone back in a long time.
I was playing in the bars there because my band
started to get big regionally and we were getting booked
(21:36):
down there. A lot of this place called the Crowbar.
We played the Cafe and the Crowbar. It was like
when we kind of graduated and I was doing like
you'd get these big money gigs at fraternities and stuff,
and I was like twenty six years.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Old and you know, no bills really.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And I'm still going to Penn State and I'm playing
at fraternity parties and stuff. And then somebody come up
to me and they'd be like, hey, you Andy, you
knew my older brother something. It would be like this
little kid, and I'd be like, your older brother was
younger than me, you know, yeah, I'm like yeah, But
there was always the one dude who was still there
(22:12):
and everybody had one of these in their car. It's
like he could have been an architect, a doctor, you know,
any eight year, nine year schooling program. This kid could
have had every degree, but he always just still somehow
never finished.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
There for the culture and the atmosphere, and that was. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Our buddy Reese was there for a long time. My
dad called him Sophomore Reese because he was like he
just loved that he never graduated. He's like the eternal sophomore,
always the sophomore, and he was there till he was
almost thirty, just chasing the dragon. Yeah, and I again,
I was going back so much that it did start
to feel kind of sad. And I was like, I
think I spent too much time going back because the
first year.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I went every weekend.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Well, and they also have at Penn State like Arts
Fest and like all of the different opportunities for alum
to come back, and it's accepted.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
But like I went up there just to visit my buddy.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
And I remember sitting I can I can see the
apartment now, and this girl is like, it's my birthday
and I'm like, oh my god, it's my birthday too,
and she's like how old are you?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
And I'm like, I'm twenty four and she's like, what
are you doing here? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Yep, And it like ruined my night and I and
I never went back after that, Yeah, what.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Are you doing here?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I played piano with the Alisair Grill for a while,
which is like a dinner place there, and they wanted
to keep hiring me, and I just felt like, this
is that trap and I'm going to be the guy
in the movie pretty soon.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Yeah, And you.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Don't realize that you're just trying to like get all
the juice out of the You're just ringing out the
experience for every little yeah bit. But then like it's
never it's never as good.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
No, it's not. It's about the youth. But I you know,
the crazy thing is how you revert right back to
those same dynamics of the relationships you had in college
when you see people that you haven't seen in a
long time. Last summer on in San Francisco, I went
to see a Billy String show with the Greek and
one of my college buddies I literally had not seen
since I was in college's there. It's like I saw
(24:15):
him yesterday, no kidding, Yeah, we had to wait in
line to get in for like an hour and a
half together, and I'm just like catching up and I'm like, so, dude,
what's up.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
And we were bump bump bump right.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Back and forth again, you know, and I'm like, it's
just so funny how you can go right back to
that time.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Yeah, it's the best.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I mean, I was literally just texting yesterday with Gareth
and you were in college here and yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Went to college together.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
And he has this he had this joke where he
would do the Nationwide jingle, but he would but he
would say Paul Walker died. And and I saw this
Instagram reel of this guy singing Nationwide is on your
side as like a bunch of different female actresses, and
(24:58):
I go, you won't do it, but with Paul Walker died,
and he goes, wait a minute, what happened? Because he
plays dumb, He acts like he doesn't know that Paul
Walker died, and then I have to explain to him
that there's been a tragedy.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
It's the best.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
It's a bit that's been going on for fifteen years
or however long Paul Walker has been dead, kind of
like the Browns.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's the bit that keeps on going on yesterday trading
away more assets and I'm not exactly sure what they're doing.
Steelers getting set for a Sunday one o'clock kickoff with
the Cleveland Browns and Dylan Gabriel at quarterback. Mike's got
a full sports reporting act.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I'd really like to hear some Ted Nudge listeners take
over during the Electric Lunch.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
She could put on some ACDC awesome.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You build the menu and you reach out to Michelle
Michaels on her Socials phone or the talkback button on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
I Love Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on DVE from the.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Bridgeville Appliance on TV morning show.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Sub brought to you by Bridgeville Plants. Bill, tell your
daughter it's a big world out there. Get ready for
it by going to a big school.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I mean, look, she's got big schools on the list.
You jump into deep end and you learn how to swim.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Okay, just in life, you know, dealing with diversity, dealing
with people, dealing with bureaucracy.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Bureaucracy is a big part of it. Learning of a
big school.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
But I will also say there are I think just
as many benefits to a small school. They're equally beneficial
for different reasons, Like not every person should go to
a big school, correct.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
I knew that I wasn't responsible enough to go to
a big school. That was my essay, was that I
was responsible enough to know that I wasn't responsible enough
to move away to school right away.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
You guys are just lame enough for me, and they're real.
It's not unfailed.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Finances are factor, particularly when you go out of state. Yeah,
but when you go out of state, you're out of state.
You don't go running home. Every time something goes sideways.
You figure it the f out resiliency or you don't,
but you know, you learn how to deal with that
either way.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
I had a pretty good time Michigan State on the oh, yeah,
that comes across. I kind of enjoyed my five years there.
How did you pick Michigan State. It's kind of weird.
My brother went there.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
He's significantly older than I am, and we took a
family trip. He got married when he was a sophomore
in nineteen sixty eight, so I was like seven years
old and the family went out there. It's kind of
the first time I ever went anywhere other than a
Equippa or the Jersey Shore. I was like, wow, you know,
the pastoral trees and Midwest postcard thing. And then as
(27:45):
I developed in life, I know I wanted to get
into sports journalism and they're very good at that, so
it just kind of worked out.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
But at the time the fifth year came round and
wait to get out and start my life. And ever
since I go back as off.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, there's something about it that way. You're in
a big rush as a youth.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Yeah, well, because you know, I'd have had enough of this.
I want to be a real adult now and.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
The whole second half of your life is spent just
pumping the brakes, slowing down.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Let's go for a walk, Let's enjoy the leaves, Let's
go back for the Indiana Even Steele's getting ready for
a pretty big one on Sunday.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
AFC North ball is at hand, and offensive tackle Broderick
Jones doesn't need one of those schedule magnets on the
refrigerator to know what's coming next. Head coach Mike Tomlin
has already put out the vibe, if not the word,
in advance of sundays hosting of Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
You can just tell, like when it's a divisional week,
he comes in with a different mindset, a different fire
by himself. So you know he he does a good job,
you know, just preparing us and having us ready for
those those games when they come around, and you know
just the the great it takes to get through one
of those games because they're so physical or you just
(29:08):
got to continue to grind it out.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
And he knows that and he tells us that.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So you know, I feel like he prepares us the
best way possible for those those games.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Yeah, stop me if you heard this one before. But
AFC football, AFC North football is different. Jones knows that.
And the Steelers that throne are about to find out.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
You know, you just got to have that uncle about you.
It's time to play those little big brothers in the
in your division, so you know, you just got to.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Be on your a game.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
There's so many marquee players, but free agents and rookies
that have never seen the AFC North.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Aaron Rodgers said he asked Patrick Queen to tell him
about it.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That was my that's my i'l goo for today because
I love what he said his words about it to me.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
It made me. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Patrick Queen is the perfect person to talk about because
he's been on both sides of the biggest rivalry in
the North.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
DK Metcalf said he's heard that this is where real
football is played.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
These games are he seems built for it. Do you
guys know?
Speaker 8 (30:13):
I love these games and I'm telling you don't sleep
on this one.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Dude, Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
They had a coach in a basement with COVID and
a bunch of linemen who introduced himself to the quarterback
before a game and they beat us.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Yeah, and then they got rid of the quarterback. Yeah,
smart move because.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
All he did was speak to Steelers in the playoffs
and now he's maybe gonna beat the MVP.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Disaster dude, that that team has Super Bowl aspirations for sure.
Speaker 8 (30:42):
Tampa, Oh oh, no question. Hope they win at least ten.
They look straight for the Brownies. Yesterday they sent cornerback
Greg Newsom to Jacksonville like a Pirates move for cornerback
Tyson Campbell. They're both first rounders from twenty twenty one draft.
The differences Campbell has signed and an extension Newsom has not.
(31:02):
Newsomb had been a starter. They made him their nickel
last year. He would have been to nickel again this
year if not for an injury sustained by cornerback Martin Emerson,
so he was starting again. Was Newsom, He's still pretty
good player. Campbell's pretty good player. It was this weird
in season kind of thing. Browns, I'm guessing are thinking,
we're not going to resign this guy.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Let's get his replacement now.
Speaker 6 (31:25):
Wasn't Al just talking about him yesterday on the program?
He was about how he's been struggling this season.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
I still think the weak links in that secondary number
twenty six and number five there they kind of alternate
nickel depending on whether they want to go big or small.
But it is going to be a game where you
got to bring the Umphus Broderick said, you know, he
had the media corp yesterday trying to figure out how
to spell.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Oomph oh mph. Yeah, that's what we came up with. Yeah.
Oh really generally, I don't know if it was a
real word. I thought it might have been you m PF.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
I was going here for some But there was a
little discussion about that practice report from yesterday for the
Steelers not encouraging, not discouraging.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
No.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
Calvin Austin, Alex high Smith limited no. Jalen Ramsey, Joey
Porter Junior, and Jalen Warren are full participants. The Browns
have some limited issues, but you know this point of
the week, some guys just sort of maintenance. We'll see
by Friday if any of that stuff is serious or not.
(32:27):
One thing to keep an eye on their left tackle,
Katie Leviston Calf was one of the limited guys. He's
filling in because the starting left tackle, Dwan Jones is
on injured reserve, and Levinson's the week link of the
offensive line. He's penalty prone and he's just not as
good as there are other four guys. If he doesn't
(32:50):
go for whatever reason, now you're down to your third
left tackle, which doesn't seem my deal.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
No, it does not, although in moments in the past, Mike,
we've thought that and it hasn't killed the team that
we're playing.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Particularly when it's a division game, because none of it.
Nothing matters in these division games. Rock Fight at the
fifty coming up.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
TJ.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Watt versus Miles Garrett. To me, that is this game
if TJ. Watty they have in the past found a
way to neutralize TJ.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Watt. We don't always do so great with Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
He does he.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Recently, yes, but historically Wat's done better in these matchups. Yeah,
Garrett's actually not his better number. Garrett had a three
second game against Pittsford. I think it was last year.
I mean, that's what I'm thinking about prior to that
is UH has not been himself usually in these games.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Because they pay so much attention to.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
Yeah, they both just get constantly annoyed and addressed. And
I think when you're that good, those guys affect the game.
When they are not collecting stats, they are dictating blocking scheme,
are dictating what the offense can run. They're dictating when
they can run it. They're just they're both as good
as it gets.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
That's Look, you have a quarterback who's playing his second
NFL game. Yes, they're they're coming back from London. They're
in disarray. They traded their starting quarterback from camp and
that they like the quarterbacks they paid attention to and
trading camp are gone.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
You have two rookies on the roster and Bailey's appy.
What was that the scenario again for the playoff game?
Speaker 8 (34:34):
Coach as COVID special team's coach that used to be
in the navies to coach the offensive line doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
They introduced themselves to the quarterback because they had not met.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
And they won, and they won. They didn't even stretch.
Remember they went to two World Wars. Those guys didn't stretch.
I forgot about that. You can't stretch, Norman, You're seven pounds.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Can't wait for Sunday the one o'clock Steelers and the Browns.
Abby's got your news at the top.

As a priest said on the free iHeartRadio app, I'm John.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Morgan of Morgan and Morgan. Why should you hire America's
largest injury law firm for your case? There's lots of reasons,
just like there's a reason millions of I mean, we
are so excited for students Browns here.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
But it's funny how that talk about like high school
and college has derailed us in every break and everybody.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
So, and that was from a conversation yesterday.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
But there is there's something about talking about it because
I guess in my age, I don't talk about my
high school very much, only on the show when we
reference high schools, you know. But college life, God, I
couldn't imagine living through the college years with social media.
(37:01):
Could not imagine it totally different, could not imagine it.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
It was just coming into play when I was in
college and it was Facebook. And that was when Facebook
they hadn't opened up the floodgates to let the olds
in yet, and it was you just had to register
with your college email.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
It was like a college thing.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
Yeah, yeah, like specifically, and then they were like, let's
let old people in and then it all went to hell.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
So every week we like to do a segment called
rating our algorithm, because we all look at different things
on the Internet.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
We all are slaves to the algo, so kind to
do that. We're We're okay, So, Abbie, let's start with yours.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I have never ever had to arrest somebody, but in
the situation of the video that I saw here, I
feel like if they pooped their pants, I'd probably just
let them.
Speaker 9 (38:02):
Go, just a non criminal questions like did you put
your pants?
Speaker 4 (38:09):
If no, well I'm getting ready to no.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Ready literally, yeah I think you did?
Speaker 4 (38:15):
You work past? Oh my life? Literally hold are you
our pants through? We cannot be pooping our.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Pants were drowned.
Speaker 9 (38:28):
That's not my.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Ground for that. Well, no, what.
Speaker 9 (38:38):
This works because no, I poop my pants.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
Peping through.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Really, I'm gonna be.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
I don't want to waste your.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Time by taking into the station and having to sit
in your wet poop pants.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
I will take you to the station right away.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
Please don't put I'm begging, I'm trying. I'm gonna take
a wash first. I'm too that's so gross. So in
my algorithm this week.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Uh, you know, the Taylor Swift record coming out and
her lyrics are being widely maligned. Uh, but somebody pointed
out if you just put them to an MF. Doom
beat and use his cadence, that it really does work
out a lot better than whatever the hell she was
trying to do with them.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
If you hate Taylor Swift's lyrics, just pretend they were
written by M F.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Doom.
Speaker 10 (39:30):
I was your fall the figure which right that brown
lick up you made a deal with this devil turns
out this big up. If you want to fight, you
found it. I got the place surrounded. You'll be sleeping
with fishes before you know that you're drowning. Whose portraits
on the mantle? You'll cover it up your scandals. Just
take my kindness for weakness and find your call canceled.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
I was your father. The figure pulled the wrong trigger.
This empire belongs to me. Taylor. That slaps. That's hilarious,
so good, but I don't like the way she does it.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
But I don't know if you saw the news. It
broke every record, you know, first week broke Adell's record.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Could it not? Alright? PMF doom? All right? So Bill?
Speaker 5 (40:14):
What was?
Speaker 4 (40:15):
I also have a music one.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
You know, the Steelers are not the only thing that's
international that's huge around the world. And I don't know
if this guy is from the Philippines or not, but
I think that Guns n' Roses might have a journey
replacement for Axel.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Yes, yes, god, no, okay, that was that's a different one.
Did you send a couple?
Speaker 6 (40:40):
I did send a couple, So this one is uh
okay that this guy basically keeps doing this. He talks
about his life, but in the cadence of an on
site journalist.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Yes, yes, absolutely, I am here, not there, eleven PM,
kneading desperately, one hundred snacks at least, had dinner, enormous dinner,
very full, not hungry at all, but kneading without doubt.
Food in my belly right now, something salty chip, salsa,
(41:18):
maybe even cucumber hummus to right there then, of course,
without doubt, something.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Very sweet ice cream.
Speaker 11 (41:27):
I don't really know or care, not sure how this
will end, but it's looking like many snacks will enter
my body soon. As always, thank you so much for
tuning in. My name is Marty Miller, and this is
not looking good.
Speaker 4 (41:46):
That's perfect wear Well, now I want to hear the Filipino.
There's a guy who is saying sweets out of mind
and does not know the words at all, but man,
does he nail it. We'll do it after the break.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
What do you got coming up, Abby, Well, I'll talk
about all the special guests who are coming up for
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremon erl.
Speaker 4 (42:09):

Speaker 9 (42:26):
The Steelers will open up AFC North Play for the
twenty twenty five season when they welcome the Browns to
Akrostur Stadium Sunday afternoon at one pm. Pittsburgh, already off
to an early lead in the division despite not playing
a division foe yet, will hope to get off to
the right start and division play against Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Something history says is probably more likely than not.
Speaker 9 (42:42):
The Steelers lead the all time series against the Browns
with a record of eighty two to sixty four and one,
and since the Browns returned to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine,
they've only managed to beat the Steelers a total of
twelve times, including in the playoffs. Furthermore, the Browns haven't
experienced a regular season win at Pittsburgh since October fifth
of two thousand and three, a twenty.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
Two game losing streak.
Speaker 9 (43:01):
All that hopes to be a good omen for the
Steelers on Sunday, but Their head coach, Mike Tomlin, also
knows a thing or two.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
About beating these Browns.
Speaker 9 (43:07):
He boasts an impressive fourteen and four record against Cleveland
in his tenure as Steelers coach.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
If the Steelers can add another wind.
Speaker 9 (43:13):
To their already impressive resume in this the AFC's oldest rivalry,
they won't only get the satisfaction of sending Little Brother
up the road to Cleveland a loser yet again, but
they'll also further strengthen their already tight grip.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
On the AFC North.
Speaker 9 (43:25):
I'm Tom Offerman with the Steelers Report.
