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 4 (00:33):
The tension in the room of waiting her for her
to walk on.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
This thing, and everybody like nobody paid attention to the
whole class, and.

Speaker 5 (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 5 (00:57):
Impediments Spanish with a stutter. She could a Spanish correct
that's a big deal. And so what would she roll then?
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 2 (01:23):
Brandy Bellman and the DV morning shows.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
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 5 (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 2 (02:05):
You know.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (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 5 (02:19):
Like she was not there, which is amazing.

Speaker 2 (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 worse now it's clumped. 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 5 (03:06):
That's the funniest throwing gum. We're gonna throw the god.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
It was so funny.

Speaker 5 (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 battle between

(03:36):
math classes. 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,

(03:56):
put your height and when you could insult a teazer
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.

(04:18):
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,
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 like, all right, bad.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
I love that. There's a degree of innocence to all
of these.

Speaker 5 (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.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Get out of it, like a quarter like Michelle, and
then super balls.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, and then there just happened to be a bouncy
ball day word of mouth, that happened on like a
pep Rowy day or an assembly day.

Speaker 4 (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 2 (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. But I'm pulling up to the house and
I'm like, what the hell's on our roof? 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

(06:24):
or whatever, and so like they were like the principal
was able to go online 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 5 (06:40):
Exactly word, Yeah, who told us? Who started this?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I have no idea where most of the stuff that
happened like that even started.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, there was a story.

Speaker 2 (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.
Now well, I mean frequently it happens.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
You got your house tpaid right by your neighbors.

Speaker 5 (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. He's like, what that's
now that's how it goes. I'm like, yeah, no, no.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
You got to clean it up. Oh yeah, you got
to clean.

Speaker 5 (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. It's like this part, this isn't part of tpeeing.
I'm like it is now.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (08:07):
Yeah, oh yeah, that makes it way worse, or if
it was around the pandemic. Remember when nobody could get
toilet paper. 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 5 (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 2 (08:31):
And then you went out in toilet paper people's house
with the Vampa stuff.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (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 5 (08:55):
Up Bower Hill Road, turn right before you get to Washington.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah yeah, wait, it gets t peed.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
Every every year. 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

(09:23):
brothers and telling their brothers. But now they're at the
point where like the people who started this are parents.
Oh yeah, you know what I mean, Like, that's how
long it's been going on.

Speaker 2 (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 5 (09:47):
I don't know if they're the same page really, but it.

Speaker 2 (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 5 (10:02):
Now I love that kind of stuff. I mean, he's
still going on. 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

(10:22):
sense that they keep going and going and going yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I wonder if they have the same metal detectors at
South Stadium that they had when.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
You know what, it is nice that they do. You know,
you like to have those legacy medal detectors like that.
It's see it passed down from generation to generation.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Well, we didn't have our own field. We had to
go to the south side to South Stadium to play
our football game.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
We only had one in Erie. That was the main
stadium back then. Now they have separate.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Ones, but they all have their own.

Speaker 5 (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. But you
did share the stadium. It wasn't like you had your

(11:12):
own place, so you weren't going into anybody's territory there.
We played so many games down here though, I mean
I played North Alleghany, Mount leban and No.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
It was incredible. Pine Richland looks like lambeau Field it's insane.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (11:46):
Sports are just so it is business. Now, it's a
booming business.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Because so much of it is a racket too, right, Like.

Speaker 2 (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 5 (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 2 (12:52):
And this is like two thousand and four.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (13:03):
Marijuana.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (13:15):
He was considered a pariah for his stance.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
One hundred percent, and he I was like, man, f them,
that is ridiculous. You should you know, I'm saying the
petty thing. 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.

(13:38):
I remember he went on Bill O'Reilly because he Steps
spin factor. He because Steps was a member of the
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

(14:00):
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
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,

(14:21):
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 2 (14:29):
Of these other technois and drugs and getting addicted, right and.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (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 5 (15:10):
Yeah. Well, to be clear, yeah, Bill Maher was on
his side. It was Bill a right and a lot
of the players really admired him for doing that, but
the Cowboys ostracized him. He kind of got isn't that
hilarious with the white Room? I know? Yeah, And of
course that's all different now, but time heal that wah, Yeah,

(15:33):
definitely and he.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Actually he did Michael Irvin come back, he's doing coke.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
Set him on the sidelines in Miami. Yes, he took
up his belt and started whipping the wall on Saturday,
the turnover chain. That's crazy. 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

(16:00):
with that one.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
But it had a negative connotation. It had like this stoner, druggie,
total user, idiot kind of right verbiage attached to it.

Speaker 5 (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 available everywhere, and we
all know that argument. But getting back to the actual
like association with high school, it is crazy how that
will follow you your whole life. Like my college was
so much. I loved my college experience, but I don't
love like Penn State the way I loved my high school,

(16:54):
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 2 (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. It's so big. 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.

(17:23):
Is it like you're you're a tiny fish in the ocean.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Like, well, you find it. 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.

(17:49):
But you 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

(18:12):
just start doing adult things. 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 4 (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 5 (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. So I like, yeah,
stacked all my care Like all of my semesters were
just stacked.

Speaker 5 (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.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
And then I, you know, I just wanted to I
just wanted to work.

Speaker 2 (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. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (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. And then I listened to
DV every day. I'm like, maybe I should do that instead.

(20:58):
And then five years later I was on the show Wow, Wow,
five years later, did you ever go back?

Speaker 7 (21:04):
Like?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Because I went to visit people at Penn State when
I was like twenty four, did.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
I ever go back? Bill? I never left. I went
every so First of all, 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

(21:29):
a long time. I was playing in the bars there
because my band started to get big regionally and we
were getting booked 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
old and you know, no bills really, and I'm still

(21:52):
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 and everybody had

(22:13):
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 there for
the culture and the atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
And that was.

Speaker 8 (22:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (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 I went every weekend.

Speaker 2 (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 5 (22:58):
But like I went up there just to visit my buddy.

Speaker 2 (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? And I'm like,
I'm twenty four and she's like, what are you doing here?

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yep, And it like ruined my night and I and
I never went back after that, Yeah, what are you
doing here?

Speaker 5 (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 2 (23:38):
Yeah, And you 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 5 (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. And we were bump bump bump right 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 2 (24:29):
Yeah, it's the best. I mean, I was literally just
texting yesterday with Gareth and you were in college here
and yeah, we went to college together. 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

(24:50):
this guy singing Nationwide is on your side as like
a bunch of different female actresses, and 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

(25:10):
a tragedy.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
It's the best.

Speaker 2 (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 5 (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 5 (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 2 (25:51):
I Love Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
The Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on DVE from the.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
Bridgeville Appliance on TV morning show.

Speaker 9 (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 2 (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 9 (26:13):
Okay, just in life, you know, dealing with diversity, dealing
with people, dealing with bureaucracy.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Bureaucracy is a big part of it. Learning of a
big school. 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 2 (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 5 (26:49):
You guys are just lame enough for me, and they're real.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
It's not unfailed.

Speaker 9 (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 5 (27:11):
I had a pretty good time Michigan State on the oh.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, that comes across.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
I kind of enjoyed my five years there.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
How did you pick Michigan State.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
It's kind of weird. My brother went there.

Speaker 9 (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 5 (27:53):
Oh that's cool.

Speaker 9 (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 2 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, there's something about it that way. You're in
a big rush as a youth.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
Yeah, well, because you know, I'd have had enough of this.
I want to be a real adult now and.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
The whole second half of your life is spent just
pumping the brakes, slowing down.

Speaker 5 (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 9 (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 10 (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 2 (29:10):
And he knows that and he tells us that.

Speaker 10 (29:13):
So you know, I feel like he prepares us the
best way possible for those those games.

Speaker 9 (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 10 (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 2 (29:40):
Be on your a game. There's so many marquee players,
but free agents and rookies that have never seen the
AFC North.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Aaron Rodgers said he asked Patrick Queen to tell him
about it. That was my that's my i'l goo for
today because I love what he said his words about
it to me. It made me.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah. Patrick Queen is the perfect person to talk about
because he's been on both sides of the biggest rivalry
in the North.

Speaker 9 (30:06):
DK Metcalf said he's heard that this is where real
football is played.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
These games are he seems built for it. Do you
guys know?

Speaker 9 (30:13):
I love these games and I'm telling you don't sleep
on this one.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Dude, Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (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. Yeah, and then
they got rid of the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, smart move because.

Speaker 9 (30:30):
All he did was speak to Steelers in the playoffs
and now he's maybe gonna beat the MVP.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Disaster dude, that that team has Super Bowl aspirations for sure.

Speaker 9 (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 5 (31:22):
Let's get his replacement now.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Wasn't Al just talking about him yesterday on the program?
He was about how he's been struggling this season.

Speaker 9 (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 2 (31:49):
Oomph oh mph.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Yeah, that's what we came up with.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Oh really generally, I don't know if it was a
real word.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
I thought it might have been you m PF.

Speaker 8 (31:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (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 11 (32:07):
No.

Speaker 9 (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 2 (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 9 (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 2 (33:11):
TJ.

Speaker 5 (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 2 (33:23):
Watt.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
We don't always do so great with Miles Garrett. He
does he.

Speaker 9 (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 5 (33:45):
Because they pay so much attention to.

Speaker 9 (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 5 (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. You have two rookies on the

(34:30):
roster and Bailey's appy. What was that the scenario again
for the playoff game?

Speaker 9 (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 5 (34:39):
They introduced themselves to the quarterback because they had not met.

Speaker 2 (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.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
You can't stretch, Norman, You're seven pounds.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
Can't wait for Sunday the one o'clock Steelers and the Browns.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Morgan of Morgan and Morgan.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
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. But it's funny how that talk about
like high school and college has derailed us in every
break and everybody. So, and that was from a conversation yesterday.

(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 2 (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 5 (37:20):
It was like a college thing.

Speaker 2 (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 5 (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. We all are slaves to the algo,
so kind to do that. We're We're okay, So, Abbie,

(37:49):
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 12 (38:02):
Go, just a non criminal questions like did you put
your pants? If no, well I'm getting ready to no.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Ready literally, yeah I think you did?

Speaker 13 (38:15):
You work past?

Speaker 5 (38:16):
Oh my life?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Literally hold are you our pants through?

Speaker 14 (38:25):
We cannot be pooping our.

Speaker 12 (38:26):
Pants were drowned. That's not my.

Speaker 15 (38:31):
Ground for that.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Well, no, what.

Speaker 12 (38:38):
This works because no, I poop my pants peping through. Really,
I'm gonna be 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 13 (38:57):
I will take you to the station right away.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
Please don't put I'm begging, I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
I'm gonna take a wash first. I'm too that's so gross.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
So in my algorithm this week. 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.
If you hate Taylor Swift's lyrics, just pretend they were
written by M F.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Doom.

Speaker 16 (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 2 (39:46):
I was your father.

Speaker 5 (39:47):
The figure pulled the wrong trigger. This empire belongs to me. Taylor.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
That slaps.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
That's hilarious, so good, but I don't like the way
she does it.

Speaker 2 (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 5 (40:11):
Could it not?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Alright? PMF doom? All right? So Bill?

Speaker 12 (40:14):
What was?

Speaker 2 (40:15):
I also have a music one. 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 5 (40:34):
Yes, yes, god, no, okay, that was that's a different one.
Did you send a couple?

Speaker 2 (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 17 (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 5 (41:26):
Very sweet ice cream.

Speaker 17 (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 5 (41:46):
That's perfect wear Well, now I want to hear the Filipino.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
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.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
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 5 (42:09):
Hodge, Missy Matthews, Guy Junker, our Pick six segment and more.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
It's time for the Steelers.

Speaker 18 (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 2 (42:25):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 19 (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 5 (42:40):
Something history says is probably more likely than not.

Speaker 19 (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 2 (42:59):
Two game losing streak.

Speaker 19 (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 5 (43:05):
About beating these Browns.

Speaker 19 (43:07):
He boasts an impressive fourteen and four record against Cleveland
and his tenure as Steelers coach.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
If the Steelers can add another wind.

Speaker 19 (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 on the AFC.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
North On Tom Offerman with the Steelers report, you see
the skyline, you drive over the bridges.

Speaker 20 (43:33):
We built that Ironworkers Local Union number three Judios where
Pittsburgh shops for appliance is.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
This is WDEE Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (43:44):
That's what Mark Stepanovsky did because Steps was a member
of the Texas Chapter of Normal with him and Willie Nelson.
Willie Nelson was a president, and I think Bill Maher
and Steps were on the board 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

(44:06):
all of.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
The takings and 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.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
The Cowboys ostracized him. He kind of got Isn't that hilarious?
I know?

Speaker 2 (44:24):

Speaker 5 (44:25):
Uh, And of course that's all different now. But time

South Florida. You know, he is a hilarious interview.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
Swims, and twenty one pilots.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
So all right, Letterman is going to be introducing or
inducting Warren Zevon.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Do we know who?

Speaker 5 (47:30):
The which is perfect? He famously gave Zevon an entire episode.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
After you telling me about that, and then I went
and watched. It was incredible, It's amazing.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
After he had learned that he was terminally ill, they
dedicated an entire episode to Warren and Dave was a
longtime friend of Warren Zevon, and Warren Zevon took over
for Paul Shaffer whenever Paul Shaffer would be out, he'd
run the band, and both Paul Schaeffer and David Letterman
appeared on a Warren Zevon song called hit Somebody that

(48:02):
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 2 (48:25):
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, and
then Conan took over that mantle.

Speaker 5 (48:38):
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 first network TV appearances on Conan. But

(49:03):
there's a bunch of those bands, I think, like Pavement
was on there, like all those nineties bands played on
Conan Show, and.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Just like Letterman had Paul Conan.

Speaker 5 (49:13):
Had 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

(49:34):
bang of comedy who 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, Jason Rightman.

Speaker 13 (49:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
So there's like a bona fide'es 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 a good butt

(50:18):
of a joke. Yeah, sure, 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 3 (50:30):
They didn't technically say who was doing what. This is
a little bit more of inferred and what would make
sense and just a reminder of the years.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
Inductees include Bad Company.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Laupper, Outcast, Soundgarden, Salt and
Peppa Warren, zyvonn As you mentioned, Tom Bell, Nicky Hopkins,
Carol Kay, Lenny Waronker?

Speaker 5 (50:56):
Is that right, Warrick Curry Waronker? And who is that?

Speaker 4 (50:59):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 5 (51:01):
Do you know he was like a pre ser session player?

Speaker 4 (51:04):
I apologize? And then the white stripes?

Speaker 3 (51:09):
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.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
You've got it right on.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
The possibility that Letterman would do the Zebone thing.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Doja Cat sounds like she's going to be inducting Cyndi Lauper,
which also very much makes sense.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
I thought she was going to introduce Salt and Pepa too.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
Oh that's a good one too. I think that actually
would work.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
They should bring back to do that.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Yeah, well it's Salt and.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
It sounds like Elton John would induct Nicky Hopkins.

Speaker 5 (51:49):
Well that's a perfect well suited I was gonna say,
it's a perfect person to do that. Yeah, uh Iggy.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Pop for the White Stripes. I think it's that Detroit connection.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
Yeah, I mean that's perfect. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Who for outcast?

Speaker 5 (52:05):
Uh? Questlove?

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Oh that's perfect.

Speaker 5 (52:09):
Yeah, also very good.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Another like I think Fallon by bringing in the roots
like that read 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 what, like being in that building and all the
stuff that he did with the music version of the

(52:33):
the SNL documentary is incredible.

Speaker 5 (52:35):
Questlove 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, historian really yeah,
and and I mean people like that are really important,
you know, Keeper of the Flame.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yeah, man, you got to have those you know what
he did with the SNL fifty Oh my god, maybe
the best example.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Opening montage because you don't even know what to compare
it to. It's because you've never seen anything like that,
the coolest thing of its kind, but you can't compare
it to a TV show, a movie or anything. It's
what an eleven minute edit?

Speaker 5 (53:18):
Yeah, that is the most impressive production I've ever seen
common combining music and video.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
So this is he did what I have been obsessed
with since I was a kid, which is DJ 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 minute. It's
this melding of tracks that you can't unhear it, and

(53:51):
it's 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 music acts on SNL over fifty years,
and it is incredible.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
You know, maybe the best guy to ever do it
is from right here in Bridgeville.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
Girl Talk. There are songs that I will never not
mash up together because.

Speaker 5 (54:18):
Of girl Talk.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
I can't.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
What I mean is a genius.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
He's incredible and he doesn't get.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Enough love as a Pittsburgher either, but musical historian the
same way that questlove is because there are classic DVE songs.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
Oh yeah, he's Tony Iris in his mashups exactly. He
should have called himself Tom Talk.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
I don't know where he's from. Amazing, but 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 5 (54:56):
We're like, what the hell this sucks?

Speaker 2 (54:59):
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? And ever since then,
I've been following this guy, z Trip. He's an incredible

(55:22):
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 4 (55:34):
Yeah, there's a lot of that that happens now.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
And it happened 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 5 (55:49):
Re release it, yeah, go for it, back out.

Speaker 13 (55:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:52):
There's so much again that we're like dying for again.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
A monoculture thing whenever these moments are happening where you're
just going.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
Like it sounds goat, go ahead, let's have a moment again.
And I'm loving those.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
I almost send them to you guys constantly, but you
guys would get text messages from me all day.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
It would be a lot. Continuing on with the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Induction story, there's some performance suggestions here in terms of,
you know, all of these artists that get inducted and
inducted rather there's always a performance element. Taylor Momson, who's
in the Pretty Reckless, has done a lot of Soundguarden stuff,
so they thought that maybe she would do like a
Sound Garden performance. Twenty one Pilots they think could be

(56:40):
the band that would be honoring the White Stripes because
they're a two person band and maybe they would do
like a.

Speaker 5 (56:44):
Two person that's a weird one for them. I feel
like they're poppier than what the White Stripes try to
achieve they're a lot poppier.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
I have no idea kind of what their musical history
is and if they can go a little more than
that so.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
Well, typically they use younger artists, yeah, to honor an
older artist, but in this.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Also to sell tickets, right, because it's a show as
much as it is a ceremony.

Speaker 5 (57:13):
I don't know who else I would pick. I would
get that's one. I think you could be a little
outside the box on and be like war That would
be like the most hilarious slap in the face, like
guys suck like Warren's Evon and or not one's even
Warren Haynes doing Jack Black and getting Josh Freeze or

(57:40):
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. Yeah, you could go
way outside the box in that. But the twenty one
pilots thing, yeah, you know you had to hit all
the demos, I guess I.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Mean use young Blood. He seems to be available and
willing to do just about any show. Right now.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
I'm shocked Young Winner did not figure out a way
had to get him into there because he's so hot
right now, particularly with the tribute stuff.

Speaker 4 (58:03):
Oh I wonder if where would I put young blood of.

Speaker 5 (58:08):
Yeah, Cidey Lapper. Hell see, I thought that's what Olivia Rodrigo. Yeah,
yeah Rodrigo, Yeah yeah, I thought she would be honoring her.
But that's dude. Seeing that Sidney Lapper is not easy.
He can do it, though, man, one of the most
unique vocalists ever easily.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
The actual ceremony itself is going to be on November
the eighth, but it does sound like they're going to
stream it live, which I don't remember them doing.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
Necessarily if you feel like, oh no, I take that back.
They have done it.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Live before, but then they culminated.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
And put it out much later on HBO usually.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
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.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
And then additionally, the actual exhibit.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
That you can check out is going to be open
to the public October thirty first, and the 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 Stripes Icky Thump record.
And then there's also going to be a nineteen seventy
nine Gips Unless Paul electric guitar played by Chris Cornell

(59:32):
of Soundgarden, and there's gonna be a lot of stuff there.
So they usually do like kind of a wing of
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that's dedicated to
that year's inductees.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
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 2 (59:47):
Oh my, it is such I want to hear that.

Speaker 5 (59:49):
Oh it's really cool, really cool. It was like his
later days. It was using a lot of synths and stuff.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Do you think none Do you think young Blood could
kill that just based on how he's saying changes.

Speaker 5 (59:57):
Yeah, I mean I think Adam Lambert could. Yeah, any
Broadway show voice could do that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
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

(01:00:25):
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? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:00:38):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
And that like that blew my mind. I was like,
Oh my god, Yeah, who's who would be the youngest
voice that's come along.

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
Certainly nothing that breaks through into like the pop culture
mode and into like popular music.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Like even Pearl Jam or something like a band from
the nineties would be like too old for her.

Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
Tons of rock bands out there doing it, you just
are just not becoming mainstream.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
That's all.

Speaker 5 (01:01:03):
Like everyone is like rock is dead. It's like it's
all over the place. You're just not finding it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:07):
It's all over the place.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I think there are, though, very few that are doing
it with like the ethos and the heart the.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
Old school, Like listen to the New Geese record. It's awesome,
it's amazing, right, it's badass, but it doesn't conform to
what you're used to hearing as like the classic rock format.

Speaker 15 (01:01:26):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
I lean on the idea that rock is an attitude
more than it is a sonic texture.

Speaker 5 (01:01:34):
Yeah, so if you get rid of Jay Lenderman is
like doing Neil Young records. They're amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
I think if you get stuck on that, rock and
roll has to be studded belts.

Speaker 5 (01:01:44):
Yeah, oh that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Yeah, everything has to be on eleven Marshall amps and everything.
You're going to limit yourself to a lot of great music.
But if you identify it with the attitude and again
the feeling of it, you're gonna find so much stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
There's a lot of stuff out there. I mean, she's
definitely a badass young blood too.

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
I'll give him some credit.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
There was an interview that he just did with Jack
Osbourne 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 no. But but I said, you can either play
or you can't, and those guys can play definitely. But

(01:02:35):
he was basically answering to the AUSI tribute that happened
for the VMAs where some people were like, oh my god,
you know, you see these people are basically.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
A sucubus or like a money grab or culture vultures exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
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 put

(01:03:14):
themselves in the conversation.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
And I'm doing, basically.

Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
What how I mourn.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
It's a great point.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
I'm mourning by being like Ozzy because Ozzie 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.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
That's how I mourn. I'm so sorry for your loss.
How not just everybody? Grandma will miss you. I'm so
sorry for your book. Mike Prosina's got sports next.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
What do you want to hear? The Pittsburgh tradition, built
by Pittsburgh happens weekdays at noon the all request of
electric lunch. That's one of the bat On Dve from
the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service.

Speaker 5 (01:04:10):
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service. Techs concources are
brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 9 (01:04:16):
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 22 (01:04:31):
I was asking Peak 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.

(01:04:53):
The states kind of don't like each other, so there
was more blood between the bad blood between the fans
and U and Detroit. There wasn't the same type of energy.
We wanted to beat him, but there wasn't like the
hatred 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 with

(01:05:17):
this that kind of the rivalry is with the Browns,
and the hatred goes, you know, both ways, between Steelers
Bengals and Steelers Ravens.

Speaker 5 (01:05:29):
I have to tell you, when I heard that SoundBite,
I thought, wow, he took a long road to say,
not a whole lot that we didn't already know. But
he didn't know. I mean, he described the NFC North
dynamics and he's like, turns out, it's all exactly the same.

Speaker 11 (01:05:47):
To me.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
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. So now, oh,
the son of a gun. I thought it was a
different never mind, thought it was a different gun. And
the guy was like, that's a very good question. The
gestation period of a silver back gorilla is seven months.

(01:06:09):
The gestation period of a human is nine. I'm gonna
say a bigfoot is 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 I got to ask PQ about it, and turns out, yeah,

(01:06:29):
the rivalries are the same everywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Yeah, except they're not. I disagree. I mean I think
the biggest rivalry is with the Ravens, right because because
right and 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

(01:06:51):
started hating them.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
It did.

Speaker 9 (01:06:53):
But I always got and this is just what I
perceive talking to people about it over the years. I
think that 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 2 (01:07:14):
Uh, and they've won. I mean that's a big part
of this. The other two were kind of slippy, the
Bungles and the Browns is the Browns.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
So I guess what we're boiling this down to.

Speaker 9 (01:07:25):
Is it all kind of depends on whether or not
you differentiate between rivalry and hate.

Speaker 11 (01:07:34):
I think this is fear of like rivalry football pure hatred.

Speaker 1 (01:07:39):
Oh.

Speaker 11 (01:07:40):
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 air
C normal physical blood death. Yeah, basically, I mean 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.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Oh, I'm sorry, hard no football, it's blood blath.

Speaker 9 (01:08:02):
He said, blood Beath twice, blood bath blud Blath, though
they got seen due to blood math. Copparable is Philly Dallas?
M hm, that is boiling. I hope you die.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
Hate Giants Cowboys used to have that. Yeah, I guess
NFC Eastern AFC North I always thought were very similar
in that way.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
Philly seems to be a willing participant in any big
rivalry in the in their division.

Speaker 9 (01:08:30):
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.

Speaker 5 (01:08:35):
Don't think it got to the I hate you level. Well,
the AFC North has been a conference for what thirty years?

Speaker 13 (01:08:42):
Two? Two?

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Was it that? Okay? 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 5 (01:08:56):
Was that, Queen?

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
I don't know, 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. Yeah,
and to play two of these games in less than
a week is going to leave a.

Speaker 5 (01:09:12):
Mark brooking enough. I can't find it.

Speaker 9 (01:09:17):
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 Vie. He's extremely limited. You
can't play Newsom against Pittsburgh. I'm playing Newsom against No.

Speaker 5 (01:09:32):
You can't play it. Why not because he plays for Jacksonville.
You're killing this team.

Speaker 9 (01:09:40):
Tyson Campbell goes from Jacksonville to Cleveland, Newsom from Cleveland.
Ray Lewis Jacksonville, Oh. Ray Lewis said it according to
the Google, Well he would know. Yeah, a couple of
draft picks exchanging that deal, as well as the the
obstruction of justice of the NFL. Hey no plea Buggins

(01:10:02):
Steelers practice report No. Calvin Austin UH, Alex high Smith limited,
Jalen Ramsey did not practice. Ben Scronic was limited with illness.
Jalen Warren and Joey Porter both full go.

Speaker 5 (01:10:15):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (01:10:16):
Cleveland's got a bunch of guys limited that may or
may not be a concern as the week progresses. Uh
Brown's already have some guys on IR that they would
much rather have, cornerback Melson Emerson, wide receiver Cedric Tillman,
and offensive tackle Dewan Jones among them.

Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
So it's that time of year. It's only Week five
for the Steelers, but uh Man injuries every week. Quick
baseball report there, Mike, Yankees lost.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Yes they.

Speaker 5 (01:10:48):
Yankee he again?

Speaker 3 (01:11:01):
Yankees?

Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
Dude, he does it for another twenty seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
I mean you like beating a dead horse, Mike.

Speaker 5 (01:11:12):
That was hoppy, hoppy, over and over. Yeah, Yu with
two on the panel and Vladdy Guerrero with his UH
goggles on in the locker room after that one.

Speaker 9 (01:11:29):
Yankees blew that game last night. Mike five two Jays
and they just scored runs. Yankees were supposed to have
a big edge in pitching in that series. It did
not materialize.

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
Elsewhere.

Speaker 9 (01:11:40):
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

Hey, it's Bill Crawford for Zerrez. All right, picture this.
You're watching the game. Our team just fumbled on the wenelth.

Speaker 5 (01:13:43):
And South Hills Kia. South Hills Kia has the ride
and a price you'll love, Ladies and gentlemen. Meryl Mary,
good morning, everybody, Good morning, 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

(01:14:05):
the other team is in, it always ends up being
a sloburnknocker 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 Flacco and they're going to
go Dylan Gabriel again, who started last week in London. So, Merril,
you are as astute of a quarterback breakdown analyst as

(01:14:27):
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 13 (01:14:36):
Well, I could say it's one thing coming out of college.
If he was sick three, he might have been the
first sick. I mean he might have been right, we'd
have been our first round pick, There's no question. Because
he's a really good processor. He's accurate, he knows how
to play the position, he has great instincts.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
In the pocket. Bud.

Speaker 13 (01:14:57):
He's five to nine.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
I mean, I mean he's I mean.

Speaker 13 (01:15:00):
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, and he goes, hey, wait, Nicky,
let me ask you a question. I said fin the way,
he goes, well, what would you rather have? Would you
rather have? I'm trying to say what executive? The word
he used production or potential? That's right, productional potential. Now

(01:15:24):
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 start chose
potential and he goes really and I go.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
Yeah, I go.

Speaker 13 (01:15:38):
He goes, well, why I go listen in oredly they
lead your count I say, well, you play at Ohio State. Okay,
Ohio State's a preseason game, and you know what happened
when they came to when you play at Ohio State? 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 ten You're not gonna push

(01:16:01):
the pocket. They're gonna have people on the edges. They're
gonna run you down, and they're gonna make your life miserable.
I go any and he's like, well, so if I
have six or sixty two or six years. 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 camp
I understand. 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

(01:16:23):
seen in your life. And I go to the Ohio
State game is your preseason game. And so you know,
now I was watching him in the London game. He's
a good kid too, you know, I mean, I'm bulling
for him. I was like, I just said, that's just
the environment you're gonna come to. I go, that's just
the reality. And so wherever, all the skills you have
now you're gonna have to harness them and you don't

(01:16:43):
have to make them better to really be successful. And
I told him, I go listen to I'm going to
draft somebody are gonna get hurt or and you're gonna
place somebody and they're gonna say, wow, he can play. Now.
When you watch what they did, you know, they kept
it really simple. You know, they they kept passing the reads.
You know, they ran the ball real effectively, which is
something they're going to have to do for him to

(01:17:05):
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 still going to be limited.

Speaker 21 (01:17:20):
You know.

Speaker 13 (01:17:20):
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 Steelers will have a plan for him, you know,
and it'll be be stuff that he hasn't seeing or
he's not used to, and you know, they'll try to
keep it as a simple as they can for him,

(01:17:43):
you know, which is what you gotta do, you know,
because you know they have some problems up front with
their off line and what the Steelers can do and
have done, especially in the last game, are going to
post some problems to him.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
You know.

Speaker 13 (01:17:56):
They got they got, they got, they got their handsful merrill.

Speaker 5 (01:17:59):
They're not mint So to Cleveland game.

Speaker 9 (01:18:01):
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 13 (01:18:19):
Well, you know, I know what she's talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
It you got like one on.

Speaker 9 (01:18:23):
Ones where he just missed hairmailed it out about Yeah, like, okay,
he's better than that.

Speaker 13 (01:18:28):
He just threw that, yeah, yeah, And I would agree
with you, he would rather And actually that's part of
being 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 you're
not not good at. Now, there were a couple of
throws he made that were you know, that to the
tied end on that bow out, that corner round. You know,

(01:18:50):
he made a really good throw the type of throws
that you got to make in our league consistently. So
that's why I thought he functioned pretty well. You know,
he's he didn't do anything dangerous to the team, and
he executed the players. Because that's what's interesting. I was
watching Kakement. I told my wife, Van's like, they're going
to bench Joe Flaccall. There's no way that you can

(01:19:12):
let Joe Flack go play like he's playing and be
okay with that, because I'm telling you, I'm watching Joe Flackman.
I'm like, I think Joe doesn't want to play like
Joe's like. Because they ran like a bubble screen to
the left and then they ran like a cos 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

(01:19:33):
out on him. He's doubled right and Joe just sits
there and shits, 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 excut any of
the plays with any consistency whatsoever. He looked before set
a rookie player. I'm like, there's no way that they
could keep this guy playing football because I could tell
he looks like he didn't want to play. So but

(01:19:54):
that was not surprising. They decided to bench him and
then trading.

Speaker 5 (01:19:58):
Yeah, and he's had down there to Cincinnati. 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, driving
past the billboard on I seventy one that says hell
is real.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
And that's where you're.

Speaker 13 (01:20:18):
Heaving now, I could tell you that they they are. Listen,
if if Joe Flackell, you have to be a lot
more excited about what they have as far as weapons
there suland and I really, honestly, I really believe that
was Joe Flackle'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 off at line.

Speaker 5 (01:20:42):
Yeah, well let's let them. We'll have lots to talk
about next week on that yet. But let me ask
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 13 (01:20:59):
I would think so, you know, listen, they got some
they got some problems up front, They got take care
absolutely well. You know, ninety five is a problem, you
know then, and they don't just have ninety five, but
ninety five is gonna go both sides of the ball.
And both sides, he's gonna see them 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

(01:21:22):
they can get after after things as well, So they're
gonna have to get you know, the the improvement that
they may going into the Minnesota game, that's as much
improvement as they're gonna 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 make
that jump.

Speaker 5 (01:21:41):
That's interesting. Meryl Hodge brought to you by Castle Rock,
Hormone Health and South Hills Key This morning on DV.

young Blood was saying, the people who come out and
say such things are basically inserting themselves, you know, in

me of being a culture vulture, but they're trying to
put themselves in the conversation.

pit game and they were showing like, uh, you know, uh,
illustrious grads from the University of Pittsburgh, and they're showing
all these people, and then they showed Jonah Salk, and
you know, there's no response. Then they show Mike Ditka
and the place goes crazy. You're way contributions to society.

(01:25:37):
Maybe we should have given a smattering of applause to
Jonas Salk, but you know, we saw polio. Dickt did that.

Speaker 4 (01:25:46):
I think we know, we were talking about high schools
and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):

Speaker 5 (01:27:10):

go to of that caliber.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
General Braddock, Now you're getting you going old school. I mean,
if you're going, Carnegie right, fricking there, Carnegie and Frick.

Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
Dude, you know John Hayes.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
You gotta put them next to each other, don't you. Yeah,
Carnegie and Frick.

Speaker 5 (01:27:33):
And then and then I'll see you in hell. Frick
say that the Carnage did, Yeah, he did.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
Late in their lives.

Speaker 5 (01:27:40):
Carnage is like, look, man, we're billionaires. Let's squatch this beef.
These people are eating dirt. How about if we give
them some of our money. And He's like, I'll see
you in hell. Where we're both going, Yeah, where we're
both going. And Carnegie's like, I don't know, I built
some libraries. I feel like I'm purgatory bound.

Speaker 13 (01:27:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:59):
That's Meg because he made Frick run his company while
he toured Europe and was over in Ireland and doing
all the fun stuff and Frick's you know, getting shot
in the neck.

Speaker 5 (01:28:12):
He did get shot shot.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
And then just kept working. Yeah, He's like, I guess
I'm gonna work from home for a little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
Guys. Yeah, I'll see you in hell while we're both going.
So you don't want to go give to this gofund me.
Then it was crazy though, billionaire mentality back then.

Speaker 2 (01:28:30):
Oh yeah, well I think Carnegie realized like the amount
of people he had to trample to get what he
got and then just spent the end of his life
giving it all away.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
Yeah, sorry about the Pinkerton shooting. Your great grandparents. Here's
a library, I.

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
Mean, incredible, But you know you have the Hillman's, the Rooneyes,

Put him in.

Speaker 5 (01:29:08):
Jeff Goldbloom, he's in.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Frank Cappelli.

Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
Dudeen yeah, rip Frank.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
Yeah. Just make his star have a mustache on it.
Just a fuzzy little piece of concrete there.

Speaker 10 (01:29:27):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
If none of this stuff is on your October to
do list, you are officially a Halloween Hayter Newpole looked
at the top fall or Halloween activities that we're going
to take part in this year, and number one makes
sense because you don't even have to leave the couch.
The number one thing that everybody likes to do watch
a scary movie. Forty eight percent say they will definitely

(01:29:49):
watch at least one.

Speaker 4 (01:29:51):
Do you guys like to binge?

Speaker 21 (01:29:53):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:29:53):
Yeah, around October you started?

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
Yeah, yeah, what have you watched? The girls have already started.
I tried to introduced them to twenty eight days later.
They didn't love it. They didn't love it right from
the beginning. Just the rage monkeys biting people was They
were not a fan. Last year. You know, I talked
about how Abby was like, you gotta watch what was it?

Speaker 4 (01:30:16):
Barbarian?

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Barbarian? And I watched that with the girls, and there
is such a hilarious nude scene in it, and me
and the girls still laugh about that. But yeah, just
kind of echin back in, I know what you did
last summer. You know, we watched all the screams. What
about you?

Speaker 5 (01:30:34):
I go old.

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
I like the older ones, and I think that's it's
just a tougher sell for the younger kids.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
I totally understand that yeah, last night I had The
Baseball Game on the laptop and Diabolique on TV, the
original nineteen fifty five, and highly highly recommend that one
if you want to watch, Like apparently Hitchcock really wanted
that movie and like missed getting the rights by like
a couple of hours. It's very Hitchcocky in it. It

(01:31:02):
was remade in the nineties, so that was a good one.
But you know, I always love those monster movies too,
like the universal monster movies. Those are always really fun
to go back and watch.

Speaker 4 (01:31:11):
The black and white monster movies like Belagozi, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:31:16):
Frank Stein, Yeah, Frank Sein's Bride's a good one with Dracula.
I mean, the original NOAs Fferatu is kind of weird,
but if you really want, like the new Nosaratu I liked,
but the Werner Herzog one is to me the gold
standard of spooky weirdness creepy like because there's this also
the element of klaus Kinsky just being the weirdest person

(01:31:38):
ever on camera and he's like terrifying. So those are
the ones I really like.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
What about like this series, like the franchises, like The
Conjuring and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:48):
Honestly, those don't do anything for me. I've never watched them. Really,
it's really weird. I've never watched them.

Speaker 3 (01:31:56):
I the kind of like more I don't even know
if it's jump scare, but maybe like more like gruesome
horror kind of stuff. I like is kind of from
the eighties, maybe early nineties stuff. I was telling Randy, like,
I want you to watch Possession because it's available on
Criterion now and I had to get it from something

(01:32:18):
else last year.

Speaker 5 (01:32:19):
I had to like buy it to watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
Sam Neil, It's like it's a creepy, almost body horror
kind of film.

Speaker 5 (01:32:26):
It's not an easy watch the early nineties, right, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (01:32:30):
Not an easy watch by any stretch, but it's it's.

Speaker 5 (01:32:32):
A crap movie. There's also The Vanishing and it was remade,
but the original I think the originals from like the
late eighties and it's a it's a Dutch film, dude.
It's it's like Silence of the Lambs vibe Oh really scary, yes,
and it like a lot of people think that's like
one of the greatest horror movies ever. The remake was okay,

(01:32:53):
but the original one, holy cow, especially after you've just
gotten done with some international travel because there's that element
is a part of that movie in the Vanishing and
people are traveling through Europe and then someone vanished.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
How does that happen?

Speaker 5 (01:33:09):
Yeah, like dude goes to a rest stop with his
wife and she never comes out, and then what happens?

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Oh, so good, so good.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
There are some like new horror films that I'm like
hearing about that I won't watch, like for.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
That reason because it's just too creepy and scary.

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Yeah, like somebody keeps telling me or scary like scary,
like we're somebody keeps telling me to see bring Her Back,
And I have heard that it is absolutely terrifying, and
I won't watch it because I think I'm I think
I'm at peak terror right now just in my daily life,
and I'm like, I think I'm good, Like I watched

(01:33:49):
a lot more horror films last year, and now i
think I'm at a stress level that I'm just kind
of like, yeah, I'm with Christine this year, Like I'm
not actually afraid of.

Speaker 5 (01:33:59):
My car, so I can watch that suspense I think
is a little more suited for these times than the
the horror bloody. Yeah, horror movies.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
You know that reminds me. You know what I did
start watching was The The Monster ed Geen.

Speaker 5 (01:34:16):
Yeah, well on Netflix. Oh it's it's a hard watch. Yeah,
but you know, I didn't get through a lot of it.
I mean it was really sick last weekend. I just
kind of had it on as I was, like, you know,
in an Anahistamine Hayes. Yeah, but I thought it was pointless.
I'm like, why are they doing this? It's like, he's
not that interesting of a serial killer. I know that

(01:34:37):
Psycho is based on him, but not enough of a
story there to be like, oh, he killed a couple
of people and then made lampshades out of skin creepy
and gross, but like I don't need to learn more
about it.

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
It's weird because I can't tell if Charlie Hunham's doing
a great ed Geen or if he wait, do you
hear my ed Geen because he's too doing like.

Speaker 4 (01:35:00):
This really infantile, like fantilized voice.

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
And I'm like, is that what he sounded like? Or
is that an odd choice? Okay, because it's a really
weird choice. I do like I'm only on like I
think I'm approaching the third episode they do bring Hitchcock
into it, which I think is smart because I think,
to your point, otherwise, he's kind of a boring, weird
dude to get into and it is a very hard watch,

(01:35:25):
Like it's a very gross theme and he's a gross dude,
and it's just like.

Speaker 5 (01:35:29):
A really dark theme. Well then you find out that
some of the things that made the Netflix series at
least somewhat interesting about Edgeen didn't even happen, so they
had to like make up stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
Okay, that's no good. Also, I keep wanting to call
him ed gamey, and that's the problem.

Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
Because I keep wanting to do like.

Speaker 5 (01:35:52):
Hungry Gamy story.

Speaker 4 (01:35:57):
He just like resurrects old restaurants and mix them all
red lossters.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Yeah, the vanishing, He's like, I took a deuce in
that bathroom and it's gone. I didn't flush. Where did
they go that. I've been also introducing the girls to
the classics from my childhood. So we just watched Halloween
Awesome Nightmare on Elm Street Friday, the thirteenth Nightmares. Oh

(01:36:21):
my god. In what I'm finding in the older horror
movies is the tension builds almost the whole damn movie,
Like the first.

Speaker 5 (01:36:31):
Friday, the thirteenth, you don't see Jason, Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:36:37):
And almost the entire Halloween, the first Halloween nineteen seventy eight,
you don't see Michael Myers the whole time.

Speaker 5 (01:36:45):
And it just gets creepier and creepier and creeper.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
It's Jaws watching a hockey game that zero zero in
the third period, and time is winding down. You're like,
is anything gonna happen?

Speaker 5 (01:36:55):
It is time for our pick six segment here on
the DV Morning show. Bill and I each week go
through six games that we guarantee probably might possibly win
against the spread. By the way, let's kick it off
Dallas at Carolina. Carolina is getting three and a half.
The Cowboys and their vulgar octogenarian owner Jerry Jones head

(01:37:15):
to Carolina this weekend hoping to finger the Carolina Panthers.
Their obnoxious owner, David Tepper, is hoping to throw water
on the Cowboys Super Bowl hopes, as well as a
few Cowboys fans sitting below his luxury box if possible.
And now you know, Jerry Jones was fined two hundred
and fifty grand for flipping off fans at MetLife Stadium
last weekend and apologized, saying he meant to actually give

(01:37:36):
a thumbs up, but accidentally flip the bird, which explains
why you never got the job as Ebert's co host
on at the Movies, also explains why you're so bad
at hitchhiking. The Cowboys are on fire right now, one
of the leading offenses in the league, with Dak doing
it through the air Javonte Williams on the ground after
the Jets win in New Jersey. Jerry told them both

(01:37:56):
to go f themselves, then apologize and said I meant
great job, fellas. Look Jerry's room at the dimensiona double
tree might be almost ready for check in, but a
couple of his moves this offseason may have actually worked
out pretty good, one of them being signing Javonte Williams
to a cheap one year contract after everyone thought he
was washed in Denver, and the Micah trade might be

(01:38:17):
working out in his favor. Replacement James Houston makes forty
one million less per year than Micah and has more
Saxon Parsons does right now. Although Jerry might have actually
wanted to keep Micah but accidentally gave him the middle
finger instead of the okay sign who knows Ceedee Lamb
probably won't be bad at but if if Lamb lies down,

(01:38:39):
Pickins production has been anything but slim in his absence.
Old Shuba Hubbard is probably still in the injury cupboard
for Carolina, but former Cowboy Rico Doddle did in dilly
or dally for the Panthers last weekend. He did more
damage to the Dolphins than the can tuna industry, running
for two hundred and forty yards and adding twenty eight
through the air against Myami's no game defense, which is

(01:39:02):
why Carolina won last week in spite of Bryce Young,
who continues to prove that Heisman's don't translate into Lombardi's
in the NFL, especially when the Heisman Trophy looks like
a statue next to the guy that won it. Small
fellow Cowboys will have no problem lassoing these declaude Panthers,
take Jerry's kids and lay the points next Cards at

(01:39:22):
the Colts minus six and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
Colts are one of the surprise teams of the league
this season at four and one, and the Cardinals lost
three games last week. Their head coach, Jonathan Gannon was
fined one hundred thousand dollars for reacting appropriately. I mean
that play was so stupid it made a very smart
coach assault a man that could beat the stuffing out

(01:39:45):
of him. Just to make a point, Gannon should hand
deliver the one hundred thousand dollars check to the NFL
offices in New York and drop it right before he
walks in the door. See how Goodell likes it. Caleb
Johnson is lucky he doesn't play on the card I
think Dannon would have gone full Mark Sanchez on him
after he let that kickoff go into the end zone.

(01:40:06):
Both what I had to leave in an ambulance. Meanwhile,
Danny Dimes looks like a million bucks. In Indy, Jonathan
Taylor leads the league in rushing, rushing touchdowns and total
touchdowns was seven. They have a young tight end from
PSU that is actually impactful receivers for days, and they

(01:40:27):
only have to use five offensive linemen. I'm jealous. I
think this game has over written all over it. Cardinals
are good for twenty points. And even though Kyler Murray
can hang glide on a dorito and you can see
his feet on his driver's license, that man can swing it.
But you got to hand it to him because he

(01:40:49):
can't reach it. I mean a low snap hit him
in the head last week and they had three turnovers
on three drives and that helps the over two. Cardinals
can't blow a game. They're getting blown out in Take
the Colts and put Kyler back in the cupboard when
you're done.

Speaker 5 (01:41:06):
Next, Broncos at the Jets in London, Jets getting seven
and a half. The NFL sending the Jets to London
to sell the game to Europeans is like sending someone
Limburger to try to get them to like cheese. That's
their introduction to the product. They're just gonna assume it
all stinks that bad. The Broncos, on the other hand,
were sharper than Vermontchetter against the Eagles, and it was

(01:41:27):
all cream cheese in Philly for Denver in the second half,
when coach Sean Payton showed some liberty balls by going
for two and the fourth to get an eighteen to
seventeen win against the defending champs. The Broncos flew immediately
to London after the game on Sunday, and per the
head coach will have a quote no sight seeing edict
in effect Peyton reportedly told the team that the entire

(01:41:48):
week leading up to the game, they won't see London,
they won't see France any stressed, they won't see anyone's underpants.
The Jets get to be the home team in this one,
and the team is promising to bring an authentic New
York Jets home game experience to the fans at London's
Tottenham Spur Stadium, and it really does sound authentic. The

(01:42:08):
Jets plan on bringing over a bunch of scalpers to
unload tickets for half of face value in the parking lot.
A gaggle of Staten Island Tony's will be on hand
to set fire to a Bonnix jersey while fireman Ed
desperately tries to stomp it out. And they also plan
to pipe in an indistinguishable mix of sulfur and sewage
to walk through the crowd for that authentic New Jersey
in game experience. And if you think the air smells bad,

(01:42:31):
we ne get a whiff of the football team. First
year coach Aerin Glenn was supposed to restore order to
the Fledge League franchise, but that's like tasking someone with
fixing Britney Spears' social media profile. No matter how much
you try to coach a better performance, as soon as
you turn your back, She's just gonna go live on Instagram,
rip off her clothes, and do a Thorzine mambo with
a set of steak knives. The Jets front office currently

(01:42:53):
involved in a messy multi person sex harassment scandal. Their
last playoff winning quarterback got arrested for doing is his
own knife dance in Indie last week, and now the
team has to fly to London after getting embarrassed at home.
Jets owner Woody Johnson's ass has to be chaffed. Good
news is he knows where to get plenty of baby powder.
Justin Field's playing under his fourth offensive coordinator in five

(01:43:15):
years is more lost than Christopher and Paully in the
Pine Barrens episode, and the Broncos are celebrating their biggest
wins in Super Bowl fifty. Like Megan Markle and the Royals,
this one has no chance of being close. On a
positive note for the Jets. At least, the English fans
are already used to one team finishing the game with
a score of nil. Take the Broncos. There, New Jonkoes

(01:43:37):
next Lions at the Chiefs minus two and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:43:41):
Despite the fact that both of the qbs in this
game look like they're battling lime disease, this match is
no lemon. It's got some juice. Just because exhausted Ryan
Gosling is going head to head with trans Darlene from
Roseanne doesn't mean that this isn't potentially the best game
of the week. I think it's damn near panic button

(01:44:01):
time for the Chiefs. I know Tait Tay is superstitious,
so she needs to knock on Travis's wood, but that
might not even be enough. So she might even need
to redo that song and make it about wood. You
click on the song and that picture that all your
worst friends sent you the entire pandemic pops.

Speaker 5 (01:44:19):
So I think if she does that, it's a win win.

Speaker 2 (01:44:23):
I mean, the Chiefs start winning games, and that version
of the song will single handedly make that a double album.
I guess technically it would have to be a double
handedly making it a double album, but you get my point.
Because the Chiefs losing games early in the year is
kind of shocking, but even more shocking is that they're.

Speaker 5 (01:44:43):
Getting called for penalties. What they have forty two flags
this season.

Speaker 2 (01:44:48):
They had thirteen penalties for one hundred and nine yards
against the Jags. It's like the refs are retroactively penalizing
the boring ass brand of football the Chiefs play. It's
the NFL equivalent of the trap, and all of a sudden,
the Chiefs can't close games out. They couldn't stop that
albino avatar even when he fell down twice on the

(01:45:09):
same play. And it didn't help that Chris Jones, a
guy they're paying one hundred and fifty eight million dollars,
just stood in the middle of the field watching that
pale centaur gallop into the end zone like he was
watching it on TV. Then he deleted his social media.
Good Raid Cordell. The Lions looked like the best team
in the league right now. They put thirty seven points

(01:45:31):
on the Bengals and it looked like they were running
a live practice. The running back was throwing tds to
the tight end, which probably made Arthur Smith's peep tingle.
I think you just got to make this one simple.
Take the Lions or delete your account.

Speaker 5 (01:45:47):
Next Bengals at the Packers Packers minus fourteen and a half,
the Cincinnati Bengals roll into Green Bay with newly acquired
Joe Flacco as their new starting quarterback, and you got
to hand it to the Bengals saw that their house
was on fire and said, quick, somebody call an arsonist.
Flacco already beat the Packers this season with the Browns,

(01:46:08):
and if he can do it again on a second team,
he'll be the first quarterback to achieve that feat since
nineteen fifty, when both the Chargers and the Bills beat
the New York Titans behind starting quarterback Joe Flacco. He's old,
you see, Jack kem So. In leaving Cleveland. In leaving Cleveland,

(01:46:29):
both Flacco and the Bengals will no longer be Browning
as QB. Jake Browning moves to the deuce slot, where
he's not likely to throw as many interceptions, but there's
no guarantee he still won't account for a couple somehow,
because my god, he threw more picks than Rick Nielsen
on the Dream Police Tour. Look, the Bengals are making
a statement with this trade. They want to stay alive
for a playoff Berth as long as they can, you know,

(01:46:50):
because Burrow is gonna come back, and then they can
get him killed all over again, but the Bengals had
to do something. Chiefs gape. Bengals owner Mike Brown saw
that half full stadium watching Cooper Rush in Baltimore last
weekend and thought, Jesus, I'm not gonna sell any beer
or diarrhea spaghetti with this Browning putts at quarterback. I
better do something drastic. So he reached deep in his

(01:47:11):
pockets and paid the pricey sum of a fifth round
pick for a sixth round pick to land arp comeback
player over the year, Joe Flacco. Kudos. Mike really mortgaged
the future on this one. But all Cincinnati has to
do is protect Flacco long enough out of the shotgun
to throw it to Chase ur Higgins, and that might
actually work. Flacco might be able to get this offense
to move the ball a bit against Green Bay. So

(01:47:32):
so secondary and fourteen and a half is a lot
of points in the NFL. Yes, the Bengals defense is
bad enough that Central Catholic could throw up twenty eight
on him, and the Packers are itching for a blowout
at home for their fans. I love the over in
this one, but if I got to go against the spread,
I'm not giving anybody fourteen and a half points with
Chase in Higgins Ryan Chazero love this one because it's

(01:47:54):
going backdoor. I'm taking Flacco four and a half. Next
the main event, Browns at Steelers minus five and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:48:04):
After making the emerald owl look like a giant eagle,
while the Steelers returned from their home away from home
to their home home from home, Sitting atop the AFC
North with the last QB standing in the division. Aaron
Rodgers just like everybody predicted, he might be over the hill,
but he's still under center.

Speaker 12 (01:48:25):
Baby.

Speaker 2 (01:48:26):
He must have snuck off to Cork to do an
Irish prayer for health and kissed the Blarney stone because
the only thing he should really be passing at this
point in life is kidney stones.

Speaker 5 (01:48:36):
Aaron Rodgers didn't do the Trinity College.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
Tour when the team was in Ireland because he remembers
when the Book of Kels first came out.

Speaker 5 (01:48:44):
Because he's old.

Speaker 2 (01:48:46):
Sean Kemp, speaking of old things at colleges, Dylan Gabriel
aka Tommy Callahan is heading down seventy six this weekend.
You know a lot of people go to college for
seven years.

Speaker 5 (01:48:59):
I know doctors credit where credit is due, though.

Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
This kid's This kid could have got broiled in London
and he didn't. The Browns is the Browns. So they
lost the game that they could have won. But they've
done that every other game this season.

Speaker 5 (01:49:15):
Look it up.

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
You can't put that on the kid that sold a
half a million break pads. I put that on the coach,
the GM and the owner. He is the forty first
different starter since nineteen ninety nine. To put it in context,
the Steelers have had sixteen different starters since nineteen ninety nine,
and five.

Speaker 5 (01:49:34):
Of them are since Big Ben retired.

Speaker 2 (01:49:37):
When Stefanski said this offseason that he was getting off
the QB carousel, I think he meant just for a
minute so he could throw up and get back.

Speaker 5 (01:49:44):
On trade and rally. Boys, trade and rally.

Speaker 2 (01:49:48):
But if Gabriel somehow leaves this game, you won't see
Shador Sanders. It hasn't been made official, but Bailey Zappi
is probably gonna leapfrog him on the depth chart along
with Dweezl, Moon Unit and Diva Muffin. I can't wait
to see Shador's locker room interview with a ventriloquist dummy.

(01:50:08):
Doing sign language. This game is not complicated. We hate
the Browns because they suck. They hate us because they
ain't us. They haven't won a regular season game in
Pittsburgh since I.

Speaker 5 (01:50:22):
Was in college.

Speaker 2 (01:50:24):
Use eight offensive linemen and see if you can give
Rogers more than half a blink an eye and maybe
he can throw it to the tight end.

Speaker 5 (01:50:32):
We're paying a million dollars a snap too.

Speaker 2 (01:50:37):
You can get a good look at a butcher's ass.

Speaker 5 (01:50:40):
By sticking your head up there. But would you rather
take his word for it? No?

Speaker 2 (01:50:44):
I mean you can get a look at at t
bottle by sticking your head up a butcher. No, it's
gonna be your bowl. Look, just let the Browns, Tommy boy,
this game. Knock on Robert Woods and take the Steelers
to beat the Browns for the twenty first.

Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
Time in a row, and have a beer in their honor.
There you go, take six for you here on the
DVE Morning Show, if you.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Played something for maby mis report is sponsored by Taco Bell.

Speaker 21 (01:51:12):
Lots of sunshine with high temperatures only around sixty today,
clear and an overnight loan near forty for Friday sunshine.

Speaker 5 (01:51:19):
Mike Rosuda's got your sports now on your radio Home
of the Steelers TV.

Speaker 9 (01:51:23):
Sports subbrought to you byt Bridgeville, apply its In the
likely event to Steelers find themselves without wide receiver Calvin
austin the third on Sunday, they'll have to adjust. The
unanswered question is whether they'll get creative in doing so
or just reply on next man up. Roman Wilson and
Scottie Miller options in the event the Steelers go for
the latter approach, but tight end John new Smith has

(01:51:46):
positioned flexibility in the event they don't.

Speaker 2 (01:51:50):
You become a wide receiver? This week he said, did
I become a provic?

Speaker 8 (01:51:54):
Will you?

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
I'm a football player?

Speaker 5 (01:51:58):
Whatever that mean?

Speaker 2 (01:51:59):
I mean you got that club? So I got everything
in my bag?

Speaker 11 (01:52:02):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:52:02):
Are you wide receiver too?

Speaker 5 (01:52:03):
Without Calvin Man, I'm a football player.

Speaker 2 (01:52:05):
I'm a football player. That's the best I can say.

Speaker 5 (01:52:08):
So I didn't say yes, didn't say no.

Speaker 2 (01:52:10):
Show us everything in the bag. Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:52:13):
Tight End Pat fryar Muth.

Speaker 9 (01:52:14):
Played a season low fifteen snaps against Minnesota in Dublin,
but friar Mouth trusts Mike Tomlins explanation that the limited
involvement was mostly due to schematics. Friar Mouth also acknowledged
that the schemes can change from week to week.

Speaker 23 (01:52:29):
Yeah, I developed as a blocker, super confident that Again,
like what my Tea said in this press conference, there's
truth to that. I mean this Darnold's the rendering and
plus finals. But yeah, no, I'm I trust. I have
full trust in Art the front office. I have full trust.
They had never given me a reason to not trust them.

Speaker 2 (01:52:49):
And it's a game. It was a game, plann thing.
I'm not trusted too much about it.

Speaker 5 (01:52:52):
Anything changed without Calvin. Just find out something. Let me
just stick it on the receiver in there you go,
more tight ends, Just fine ouce on they he gets
to find us on day. Okay, he trusts them. Did
they trust him? Yeah? I think they do.

Speaker 9 (01:53:05):
And the reason why I went back and looked at
the Minnesota game now, the blockfield goal, he was culpable
and people were wondering was it disciplinary, But they had
him out there. They kicked their subsequent field goal and
he was still on the field goal team.

Speaker 5 (01:53:20):
You think if they were going to take him out
of anything, it would be that.

Speaker 9 (01:53:22):
And they had Friarmuth in the game at the end
when they went forward on fourth and goal from the
three and on the third down run where they were
trying to close the game out, so he was still
out there and the most critical situations.

Speaker 5 (01:53:33):
Also liked it.

Speaker 2 (01:53:34):
He said.

Speaker 5 (01:53:34):
Darnell's three hundred plus pounds, which we all know to
be true.

Speaker 9 (01:53:39):
Even though the Steelers list him at two sixty yea.
He had been to sixty more since frigging junior high.
He's massive. But you know, we'll see how they choose
to play it. As for that block field goal that
was on Friarmuth, and he's not ducking that, I.

Speaker 23 (01:53:57):
Was technique by me unacceptable. He's gotta learn from it.
I mean, credit him, he had a great move, but
by me, all right?

Speaker 5 (01:54:06):
Could I wouldn't expect anything else from him.

Speaker 9 (01:54:08):
I wouldn't give up on Pat Frearmuth. But I do
think their offense just well, I thought who they have.

Speaker 5 (01:54:15):
If it's square peg, round hole, you can't hold it
against them, you know what I mean? Like if they
have changed things offensively so that he doesn't fit in.
When you have the head coach saying yeah, when you
play in four three teams, you can't put a two
hundred and fifty pound guy out there to block a
d end then it's like, all right, well, it seems
like your offensive package is going to require that regardless

(01:54:36):
of the defense going forward, not necessarily. And I would
also say, you know, he's got to play a little better. Uh.
He had a chance to make a huge play against
the Aley's dropped the ball. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:54:45):
There was some mess throws game.

Speaker 9 (01:54:47):
There was some miscommunication with Rogers on a third down
in New England that that could have been a.

Speaker 24 (01:54:54):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (01:54:54):
Rodgers also missed him at New England. He threw behind
him and hit the defensive back in the back of that.
I mean, they've been trying to go to them periodically,
but I don't think they have anybody on this offense
it's gonna be a great Fantasy league player because they're
they're they're diverse, and they want to be diverse.

Speaker 2 (01:55:11):
I mean, I would say the running back is the
best fantasy player on the Steelers offense.

Speaker 9 (01:55:16):
They don't score eat a week, but that that should
change if they get better at doing other stuff besides
don't put to the run.

Speaker 7 (01:55:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:55:24):
Yeah, but I don't think there's gonna be even DK
Metcalf as good as he is. You know, there might
be that one or two one on one reps a
game he gets and maybe there's a splash play, but
they're not going to have that guy that, oh my god,
fourteen hundred yards receiving eleven touchdowns twelve hundred yards rushing.

Speaker 5 (01:55:41):
It's not gonna work out that way.

Speaker 2 (01:55:43):
I just think when we're talking about who's gonna step
up in Calvin Austen's absence, if we're not talking about
John New and Pat Fryarmouth, what are we talking about.

Speaker 5 (01:55:52):
I mean that we thought about Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller.

Speaker 2 (01:55:54):
But that's who they're paying all the money to. Mike
is the other guys.

Speaker 5 (01:55:59):
The other guys are on a team too. I mean
that's the way.

Speaker 9 (01:56:03):
Money is a huge factor as you're forming the team
because you got to keep it under the cap, But
once the team is formed, they're not looking at.

Speaker 11 (01:56:09):
It like that.

Speaker 9 (01:56:10):
We got to throw up to the Frims because he's
making eight times with Scotty capital.

Speaker 5 (01:56:14):
Draft capital matters.

Speaker 2 (01:56:16):
You're you're paying a guy that much money to signify
the importance that he is as a player, and if
you're willing to leapfrog him for a guy who has
done nothing in the league, then why are you paying
that guy that money. Well, that's a different argument. They're
not looking at the game plan saying we're going to
the guy. I know that, Okay, Yeah, I'm aware of that.

(01:56:36):
I'm just saying, like they think they get a match.

Speaker 5 (01:56:38):
Up with Scotty Miller against Cleveland, They're going to go
to Scotty Miller and we'll see for works topic.

Speaker 9 (01:56:45):
They've done some stuff this year that we all were
very skeptical about, and they're right a lot so far.

Speaker 5 (01:56:51):
I completely agree. I mean, I love what they did
against the Vikings.

Speaker 9 (01:56:56):
Just Warren and gain Well and Calvin aus and some
of these guys that Dave bed Rogers talking about Rogers.
I was kind of on the Rogers train, but they
were talking in the spring about Calvin Austin's the number two.
I don't mean why you guys are even asking me
about this receivers coach and I'm like, because he's not.

Speaker 5 (01:57:13):
Well, it turns out he is.

Speaker 2 (01:57:15):
Abby.

Speaker 5 (01:57:15):
What's coming up?

Speaker 3 (01:57:16):
A lot of metal news with Bruce Dickinson getting a
star spangled redo and Gene Simmons passing out behind the wheel.

Speaker 5 (01:57:23):
When we come back, Missy Matthews joining us from the

Speaker 5 (01:58:04):
DV e Yo. It's Mart Madden, super Genius. Welcoming our
friends and the Steelers Audio Network, brought you by Boris
and Boris fighting for Justice. Missy Matthews, what's up missing?

Speaker 2 (01:58:18):
Hi guys?

Speaker 21 (01:58:20):
Happy Thursday?

Speaker 5 (01:58:21):
Yeah, I mean it's Steelers Thursday.

Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 20 (01:58:24):
That's great.

Speaker 21 (01:58:25):
Finally we're back.

Speaker 5 (01:58:26):
We're Missy. What's the number one priority for the Steelers
facing the Browns this Sunday? What do you think is
number one on the concern list for Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 21 (01:58:36):
Don't let Miles Garrett wreck your game and make you
one dimensional? And I think you know building out what
they did against the Vikings, especially in terms of running
the ball, So hopefully, you know the week off, you're
getting some players back. It sounds like in terms of
help early bye week. I didn't love at first, but
kind of love it now. So we'll see how that goes.

Speaker 5 (01:58:58):
Yeah, I mean, it does seem to work in their
favorite given how much attrition has accrued across the division,
and they can make some hay early in the year
right now and get a little bit of an insurmountable
lead with two straight AFC North wins here with Cleveland
and Cincinnati back to back, both of them seem to
be a little bit in flux right now. Cincinnati seems

(01:59:20):
to be putting up a little bit of fight with
that dealing of Flacco and benching Browning, but I'm not
sure how that leaves things in terms of stability in
Cleveland right now. Getting rid of a corner and you're
starting former starting quarterback in the course of three days
might signify a bit of a white flag being flown

(01:59:41):
by the organization. The head coach goes, yeah, I had
no idea we were trading Flaco. That was news to me.
And they're coming back from London, So I would think
you're getting it a pretty unstable Cleveland Browns team coming
into Akrosher Stadium on Sunday.

Speaker 21 (02:00:00):
I mean, but don't you love that? I mean, imagine,
you know, we all know what we felt like coming
home from Dublin last week. Now, granted, there was probably
a little bit more fun than what that team had,
but that does kind of suck to come back and
to play that game. Of course, you know, it's it's
not like they're traveling across the country to go play
the Chargers or somebody.

Speaker 5 (02:00:22):
It's at least.

Speaker 21 (02:00:22):
Close for them. But I'm cool with it. And I
also think, you know, the Steelers defense was decimated with
injuries those first three weeks even four, really, and no
one was crying about it or using it as an excuse.
And I just feel like all these other AFC Nors
teams are whining. Dude, It's across the league. Injuries happen.
So I don't really feel bad for anybody. And as

(02:00:45):
you said, Randy, like two big AFC Norse games, you
get those two wins, you know you're starting to add
to that cushion that makes you feel a little bit
better knowing that there isn't another by week coming up,
so you have to try to stay as healthy as
possible down the stretch. You got some tough games coming
up on the Steeler schedule.

Speaker 2 (02:01:04):
Put your coaching hat on for a second, Missy. Guys
that are injured and making their way back, are you
keeping them out of this game? Are you? Are you
just going full board knowing that you got to make
a trip up to Cincinnati later in the week.

Speaker 21 (02:01:19):
No, I think, well, it does sound good for like
Alex high Smith and Joey Porter, Jalen Warren, I think
what they do today will really, you know, kind of
maybe determine that. And obviously, if they don't have a
setback on Friday, Jalen Ramsey and Calvin Austin, I'm kind
of like, even if somehow they're able to go, I

(02:01:41):
might save them for a third day. I just I
hope you don't need them. I'm probably gonna regret saying
that out loud, but at the same time, it's not
worth it in my opinion. And I think that you know,
this is only the second home game technically obviously Croke
Park was a home game, but the second game in Pittsburgh,

(02:02:04):
So I think you know fans are fired up about
this team. Regardless, it's going to be another beautiful day.
I think the juice is going to be there for sure.
And obviously, knowing what's at stake in terms of AC
North Division wins and what that can do for your
chances of, you know, making the playoffs and having home games,
it's huge.

Speaker 5 (02:02:24):
I'm actually seeing rain in the forecast on Sunday. At
least that's what it says on my iPhone weather right now,
seventy five percent chants of rain. But who knows that
could be at night before they buy. Yeah, that's what
it says on my iPhone. But I don'tly bother sideline reporters.
We don't have to worry about that. Yeah, you mentioned
Croke Park being a home game. I think that, you know,

(02:02:44):
according to Patrick Queen, is better than a home game,
and I think that the fans are really going to
be feeding off that. I think it's going to be
a crazy atmosphere this Sunday for the one o'clock kickoff,
which makes me wonder how aggressive they'll be against Dylan
gabriel second game as a starting quarterback. I mean, the
crowd can.

Speaker 2 (02:03:05):
The United States?

Speaker 5 (02:03:06):
Yeah, and that that's great that Steelers crowd could really
make it tougher on him. I wonder if they're just
gonna take take away the run and try to make
him beat them, or if they're gonna let it, you know,
let him come to them, you know what I mean.

Speaker 18 (02:03:23):
I mean both.

Speaker 21 (02:03:24):
Options are great. And I think because as Bill said,
literally first start in the United States, I'm sure London
was a different atmosphere. It didn't look like either team
completely took over that game. Anybody who watched Croak the
game in Dublin and Croke Park, you're like, oh, yeah,
Steelers fans, and I think that you're right, you know,

(02:03:44):
in terms of having to use the silent count and
things like that. There's a lot of ways to show
a rookie, you know, kind of like another welcome to
the NFL. Yes, he fared well, you know, he had
his chances against the Vikings and his first startup. But
I just think, you know, man, have a TJ. Water
Nick Herban come at you a few times, might make

(02:04:07):
you think twice about decisions. And I think, you know,
obviously their rookie running back is also spectacular, So it
is something in terms of stopping the run is probably
where they should start in terms of the Steelers defense
and then making their quarterback make some crazy decisions hopefully.

Speaker 5 (02:04:24):
I'm actually surprised Tomlin and I didn't see the whole
press conference on Tuesday. I'm surprised he didn't bring up
He occasionally will invoke the hey, we're going to need
the fans to be there, because it really does seem
to that could be a real big factor in making
it a lot tougher on Dylan Gabriel.

Speaker 21 (02:04:42):
Oh, I mean, I think he realizes he doesn't need
to say that. You know, usually Steelers Browns, you don't
have people like, hey, can you get me tickets?

Speaker 5 (02:04:52):
You know, things like that.

Speaker 21 (02:04:53):
Again, second game in Pittsburgh, they're sitting at three and one.
You know what's at stake. They've beat the brown in
the regular season twenty one straight.

Speaker 13 (02:05:02):
Games in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 21 (02:05:06):
Let's keep that street going, you know, fire a code
or something. They like to do that that's true after
a lot, so like, let's let's keep their traditions going.

Speaker 2 (02:05:15):
We do like to do that.

Speaker 5 (02:05:17):
Miss brought to you by Borders on the Border part
of the Steelers Audio Network. You can hear Missy alongside
Rob King and Max Stark Sunday with all the actions Steelers.
Brown's a one o'clock kick off here on DV. Thanks Missy,

All the bodies were found in Cheddar Bay.

Speaker 5 (02:06:43):
Greg Warren always had a bit about that. He's like,
they did cheddar Bay biscuits at Red Lobster. He's like,
that sounds like a wonderful place, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (02:06:49):
Oh my god, swim in that.

Speaker 2 (02:06:53):
I mean, did you ever read the book Cloudy with
a Chance of Meatballs.

Speaker 5 (02:06:56):

break into there. Yeah, you knows.

Speaker 2 (02:07:28):
Has great meatballs. Il Pits has great meatballs.

Speaker 5 (02:07:33):
I haven't had the Blasios in a long time, but
the Blazers used to have great meatballs and great velin
peppers used to be my favorite. I hued to grab
villin peppers all the time after Steeler games. You ever
get the the mozzarella log that sounds like a book.

Speaker 2 (02:07:49):
No, it's just like they're stuffed that they're mozzarella stick
but it's gigant or.

Speaker 5 (02:07:54):
Uh no, I don't get into it. I've never been
a monstick guy.

Speaker 2 (02:07:59):
Oh ude, you don't like Manxi stuck. I mean, I
think they're a little marinaire.

Speaker 5 (02:08:03):
I think they're they're good, but they're like to me,
it's like it fills you up on like cheese and
oh yeah, I want to save it for all the
other tastes. To me, it's like the best, the best
possible way to like execute a dinner is to have
as many different tastes as possible in that dinner.

Speaker 4 (02:08:23):
I call it bordaining it. I want to bordain it,
just like.

Speaker 5 (02:08:27):
Bounce around a lot instead of like, oh I just
ate a whole bowl of pasta and I can't eat
anything else. It's like, all right, I like that little pasta.
Maybe a little art of choke spread over here, even
meatball here. Maybe they're like, oh they got ace, all right,
you know what I mean. The more you can kind
of bounce around a little bit. I want to taste
some menu. Okay, I want to be like Orgy Georgie.

(02:08:49):
I want a big band. I don't want an acoustic act.
You know what I mean, give me the full horn section.

Speaker 8 (02:08:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:08:56):
No, So I like an acoustic set. You like it.
It's as simple. I'm mean. I'm a big app guy.
I like the apps.

Speaker 5 (02:09:03):
I do love apps. I just don't like the apps
that like.

Speaker 2 (02:09:07):
I don't like the heavy ones. You don't like the
heavy ones, but I like it.

Speaker 5 (02:09:10):
I like a fried zuke though, Like a fried zuke
is a frieds amazing lightly breaded though. Do you like
a lemon? Do you like the zukes sliced long long ways?

Speaker 2 (02:09:22):
Do you like them?

Speaker 5 (02:09:23):
Because sometimes they do? The tiny zukes? You know what
I mean, get the baby. You want the big like them?
You want a flap of zucchini?

Speaker 2 (02:09:31):
Yeah, I want a big flap.

Speaker 5 (02:09:32):

Speaker 2 (02:09:42):

I'm due for a trip to Rico's to spend a minute.
There's so many good old school like wait, where's Rico's
North Hills, Dude, McKnight road, Well, it's yeah, you got
off Nick knight exit, and then you get off on
the first one.

Speaker 4 (02:10:18):
And isn't that where that comedy place was?

Speaker 19 (02:10:21):
Is it by there?

Speaker 2 (02:10:22):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (02:10:23):
The new comedy place.

Speaker 2 (02:10:24):
I'm not the comedy bar.

Speaker 5 (02:10:29):
And then there's the one in crafton which I always
get it's not it's not It's not Seraphinos, is it?

Speaker 2 (02:10:39):
I thought it was Italian? Yeah, I thought it was. Okay,
that's what it is. We're talking about PF. Chang's back
in the day being like the place. Remember when Bravo
first came out.

Speaker 4 (02:10:50):
Oh man, you mean I get to dip this break?

Speaker 2 (02:10:54):
Like where am I in Tuscany?

Speaker 5 (02:10:56):
Bravo did the exact same thing that Pot did. I
think they lured you in with a superior product and
then in credibled and you were like, you know what
for fast casual, this is really effing good, this is awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:11:14):
This is my go to.

Speaker 5 (02:11:15):
And then a couple of years in the food quality
just went through the basement. It just went way down.
Remember how good the pork used to be at Chipotle?
And then they're like, yeah, we don't have pork anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:11:27):
What it's expensive?

Speaker 5 (02:11:28):
Yeah, well okay, then charge us.

Speaker 2 (02:11:30):
No, we're just not going to give you pork.

Speaker 5 (02:11:32):
And then there's that time where they're like, hey, we
had some bad chicken. No chicken, what Yeah, we don't
have chicken for a while, like everything went down at Chipotle.
It's still baseline, Okay, don't get me wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:11:44):
Oh yeah, I have it multiple times a week.

Speaker 5 (02:11:46):
It's Bravo though. Used to be I thought pretty good
quality for a chain, you know, and now I don't.
I think it's like the Red Lobster. It's like it's
like not Olive Garden, but it's not far away man,
totally agree.

Speaker 2 (02:12:01):
But that's the core, the faux finish on the walls,
the patina, the audience, all beyond springs.

Speaker 3 (02:12:08):
You went on, Oh yeah no, everybody's mom decided that
after you went to Bravo that they were like, our
whole house is going to be dusky.

Speaker 2 (02:12:17):
E eat dough for the kids, crayons, draw anywhere you want.

Speaker 5 (02:12:24):
Fake grapes everywhere, say fake grapes. Where's my Italian? When
the last time you ate an Olive Garden?

Speaker 2 (02:12:34):
I can't tell you. You can tell me. I will
not I'll tell you it was. I mean definitely when
we were in the old building once or twice we
went there.

Speaker 5 (02:12:42):
The entire time we were in the old building in
Green Tree when I got there in nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (02:12:47):
I never ate at that olive garden.

Speaker 13 (02:12:49):
Never.

Speaker 5 (02:12:49):
Never what they do to you. Never I had want.
I was an Italian oven guy. I liked Italian. I
love Italian.

Speaker 2 (02:12:58):
Yeah, because I wasn't a fan of the pasta straws
that they tried to put on us.

Speaker 5 (02:13:03):
Oh I didn't anything.

Speaker 2 (02:13:05):
I like, I'm like, this is garbage.

Speaker 5 (02:13:08):
I like that they gave you crayons and oh yeah
on the Yeah, we should draw a tip meter. We'd
be like good, it'd be putty, be good, It'd be
like hi, and there would be bad at the bottom,
like who knows where the I mean the arrow could go.

Speaker 2 (02:13:25):
My god, you made the servers thing for their supper, Well,
it would just be like we'd be jagging.

Speaker 5 (02:13:32):
I mean we were like seventeen, you know what I mean. Yeah,
But at any rate, it's like the Pizza Hut thing.
You went in there, and it was like the Pizza
Hut buffet.

Speaker 2 (02:13:41):
You had to win.

Speaker 5 (02:13:42):
It wasn't about just going to eat. It was okay,
I'm gonna pay ten bucks for this. You're getting thirty
dollars worth a pizza in salad.

Speaker 2 (02:13:49):
You really had the eye up the slices because you
didn't want to get a crusty slice that's just been
under that lamp for too long. Dude. I used to
do that at.

Speaker 5 (02:13:56):
Battles all the time, and it pissed me off because
they had the lunch buffet.

Speaker 2 (02:13:59):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:14:00):
You go in and you'd be like, you know, you
know a pizza is coming out soon, but you can't wait,
so you're like, I'll just eat one of those that's
been sitting there for a while, and then you fill
up on the krusty piece.

Speaker 7 (02:14:11):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:14:11):
Oh I here is a sound in a while life.

Speaker 5 (02:14:15):
But I mean, dish obviously the best, the best, gold standard.
Just people shouldn't go there. It's two crowded.

Speaker 2 (02:14:22):
No, I mean that place, like the meal should come
with a bed at the end, because I've never left
there and done anything but go to bed.

Speaker 5 (02:14:33):
Well, Jonathan, who you know the oll of Amelia Family.
That's a satellite restaurant, right, yea. So it's the same
kind of experience, the same exact experience the veal chop
at all of Familia is the Fred flint Stone brown,
a saurce perper like tip over the table when they
put it down.

Speaker 2 (02:14:48):
I ate that one night and had the meat sweats,
and I've never had the meat sweats before, but it
was the dead of winner and I could have rolled
down the driveway and melted all the snow.

Speaker 5 (02:14:57):
Yep, I was on fire. You start to wonder, You're like,
am I having cardiac distress?

Speaker 13 (02:15:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:15:04):
I'd never found like. I had to walk it off.
I got up and walked around the problem is they
give you all of those courses and they're like, the
salad is awesome, and then you get that they always
have that the pasta and it's like a vodka sauce
that they give you the squeak squiggly pasta yuggly and
you want to eat all of that and you're on
myself there and you got to get a meatbal if

(02:15:26):
you're there, because it's the meatball that's the size of
a mushball, like a softball, with mots inside of it exactly,
and so you're crushing that and then you know the
eight pound veal chop hasn't even come yet. They should
just smack you in the face with them when they
bring it to the tape.

Speaker 2 (02:15:40):
Just knocked me out.

Speaker 5 (02:15:41):
We took Sally there for a birthday once time. I
think you were there, Bill, I think you were there.

Speaker 2 (02:15:45):
Oh, I was member.

Speaker 5 (02:15:46):
She was talking about what are they doing? They're selling
crack over there. Just leave them alone, Sally, we're selling drugs.

Speaker 2 (02:15:52):
Sally. That was a good place for her because she's
always eating everybody else's food and you don't have to there.
That is true. You can't even eat all your own food.

Speaker 5 (02:16:00):
What's that hand right in your salad? Fistful of lettuce
pausta by hand? When you're talking about Pittsburgh Walk of
Fame earlier, that was the name of out for me.
Of course. Sure, she's definitely going in Clardo, Sally Wiggins,
Joe donarda definitely without a question. I mean, didn't MacAfee

(02:16:21):
have like a Joe Donardo like chant going at the
Jelly Roll concert.

Speaker 2 (02:16:28):
I don't know, but he definitely has Joe Donardo represented
in his studio and he references him a lot.

Speaker 5 (02:16:39):
It is how much Pittsburgh culture has permeated the NFL,
a large part because of Pat having the stage that
he does now, but also because there's just everybody talks
to has Pittsburgh ties.

Speaker 2 (02:16:55):
Even when he was talking to Rogers before Rogers was
on the Steelers, the amount of Pittsburgh in that dude's
career was ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (02:17:03):
By the way, Thank god he's not doing that show
this year. That is helping tremendously. Like a lot of
the knocks that were coming against him were a result
of him doing that show and steering attention towards things
he said, and by not doing any of that, it
solves so many of the issues that people like me
were concerned about.

Speaker 4 (02:17:23):
Yeah, completely impacts my personal opinion on him.

Speaker 5 (02:17:27):
Yeah, I mean I don't agree with most people in
the NFL. They're just not on the biggest show of
the world talking about it every week. Yeah, and then
it becomes the thing that you talk about that week.

Speaker 12 (02:17:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:17:39):
This is like really fun to find out the easiest
way to make me like.

Speaker 2 (02:17:42):
You shut up, shut your mouth when you're talking to me.

Speaker 5 (02:17:46):
Shut your mouth. So Flacco's coming in and Zach Taylor,
or rather Flacco's not playing for the Brown. Zach Taylor
did a press conference and talked about how, yeah, he
drove down and learned all the plays driving here from Cleveland.
Stefanski does a press conference yesterday and he's like, I
didn't even know we were trading him.

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
He said he was going out for milk and cigarettes
and then he never came home. It's so funny, Like, dude,
it's a mess. The quarterback situation in the AFC North.
They are doing in such a disjointed way, like to
trade for Kenny Pickett and then to trade him away
before the season even started, to sign Flacco, to draft

(02:18:28):
two quarterbacks, it looked like Stefanski was like, let's get Gabriel,
and Ownership or Barry or whoever else was like, hey,
let's get Shador and now they got both of the Like,
it's it's absurd what they're doing.

Speaker 5 (02:18:42):
Yeah, it looks like nobody talks to each other in
that building. This was Stefanski yesterday talking about it.

Speaker 2 (02:18:49):
Excited if Shador is going to be your number two
active quarterbacks.

Speaker 10 (02:18:54):
For this weekend.

Speaker 25 (02:18:55):
Yet, Well, first i'd tell you is that Joe trade
took us by surprise.

Speaker 5 (02:19:00):
That was not something that we saw coming.

Speaker 2 (02:19:02):
You know, they called us, and.

Speaker 25 (02:19:05):
You know that's so you can say, no, happened very
fast and happened not too long ago, so still working
through all roster type of things.

Speaker 5 (02:19:12):
I just all right, So he's not saying Andrew Barry
didn't tell him about it, which is how I had
originally interpreted that.

Speaker 2 (02:19:18):
He's to just say like it's a surprise, Like it's not.
When you're in Disney World and someone says, hey, you
want to trade pins and you have to trade them?

Speaker 5 (02:19:27):
Yeah, you could be like, no, no, we're good.

Speaker 25 (02:19:30):
I always have to be mindful of our players and
our players development, and you know, I want to make
sure that I'm always doing what's best for our players
and of course our team. But you know, with young players,
I'm always thinking about last week making the change with
to Dylan. You have to think long and hard about
that because these are these are young players that you're
so invested in their development. So I'll let the week

(02:19:52):
play out, make a decision later.

Speaker 2 (02:19:54):
On that, all right.

Speaker 5 (02:19:55):
And it looks like they are getting go with Bayley's
appy at number two. Of course they are, yeah, just
a crazy and then you know they got Cooper Rush
in Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (02:20:06):
Right now, things are not as expected right now in
the AFC.

Speaker 5 (02:20:11):
North, and that's exactly why the Steelers have to make
Hay right now coming off a bye. When you get
to early buy, you gotta take advantage of it. You
get two division games back to back against teams who
have fed up quarterback situations. You have to take advantage
of that. Like if if you're not getting another buye,
you know you're gonna face them down the road. These
AFC North teams without having some big time names. No,

(02:20:35):
they don't have Ramsey right now, but like you know,
it's conceivable no Rogers for a couple of those games
at some point, no DK for a couple of those
games at some point. You gotta win them now while
you have this many people helpful coming off the buy.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
Yep, they at anything you want to get to even
though there's seventy.

Speaker 5 (02:20:52):
Chances ran, it's totally up to you.

Speaker 4 (02:20:55):
You want to hear Bruce Dickinson.

Speaker 3 (02:20:56):
Okay, so this is less than a month now after
he got to sing the nowttional anthem here at a
Steelers game where he did a good job, but he
did start off in being a little snobby, I guess,
but iron Maid in front Bruce Dickinson has reprised that
performance in Los Angeles. So this rendition of the Star
Spangled Banner took place before the opening night between Los

(02:21:20):
Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche.

Speaker 5 (02:21:23):
So let's take a listen.

Speaker 2 (02:21:24):
Oh see, can you see by the dolls?

Speaker 5 (02:21:32):
Lie shd it so prod at the twist?

Speaker 2 (02:21:40):
Lastly, who's broad strack shun broad shosh.

Speaker 5 (02:21:49):
Rellas?

Speaker 15 (02:21:50):
Five are the re pots wash what' so call bless street?

Speaker 5 (02:22:01):
No rob cats, red clare, the bottles stinging can't prove
through the night? No not flack whill.

Speaker 15 (02:22:13):
Still stop stil.

Speaker 5 (02:22:30):
Oh that makes it come. I like that rendition.

Speaker 10 (02:22:46):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (02:22:47):
I like the arrangement.

Speaker 5 (02:22:50):
I dig it. Why don't you like it?

Speaker 2 (02:22:51):
A little pitchy, a little pitchy dog.

Speaker 5 (02:22:54):
But I also think he got a little like like
he was doing a flapper show anyway, Oh star spine.
You know there was a little oh s like he
was lifting up his dress doing the can can. Maybe
he was a little bit, but I don't know. He's
Pruce Dickinson. He's awesome. I love him. So he made

(02:23:16):
up for it with that last note.

Speaker 4 (02:23:17):
But he did start in the right key and he
remained there the entirety of the song.

Speaker 5 (02:23:23):
He took some liberties with the melody. All I'm saying
is it ain't no Jef Jefferson. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (02:23:29):
He Dan Christina Aguilera.

Speaker 5 (02:23:32):
Oh yeah, A lot of people complain about that.

Speaker 4 (02:23:35):
Myron Cope having his famous.

Speaker 5 (02:23:38):
Niption just sing this song. Yeah, you do kind of
be dazzle the song when you do that.

Speaker 13 (02:23:48):
I liked it.

Speaker 2 (02:23:51):
I love Pruce Dickinson favorite national anthem. I mean, obviously
Whitney Houston is up there. But Lewis, Carl Lewis was awful.
Chris Stapleton I think did one of the best renditions
I've ever heard. It was a good one. Jennifer Hudson
absolutely crushed it for the Super Bowl in Tampa.

Speaker 12 (02:24:09):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:24:09):
Marvin Gay at the nineteen eighty four All Star Game
NBA start off. I've heard this.

Speaker 3 (02:24:15):
Oh dude, hold on, we gotta think about that because
Baboon he's going to do the halftime.

Speaker 4 (02:24:21):
But I wonder who's going to do the Uh.

Speaker 5 (02:24:26):
About that?

Speaker 1 (02:24:28):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (02:24:29):
Sorry about that? That was my That's bad. That's on me.
All right, here we go.

Speaker 5 (02:24:36):
It was Marvin Gay. No, it was just unique. It
was special.

Speaker 13 (02:24:42):
Ken you.

Speaker 5 (02:24:46):
Pregnant?

Speaker 2 (02:24:51):
Oh you keep those lives?

Speaker 5 (02:24:58):

dreaming everywhere. Oh my god, stripes and ribs as.

Speaker 2 (02:25:29):
It's hilarious. Fine, old.

Speaker 4 (02:25:45):
People cannot stop dreaming.

Speaker 2 (02:25:48):
The flag is just lowering until it goes onto the floor.
It's gonna speak damn.

Speaker 5 (02:26:14):
All night.

Speaker 2 (02:26:24):
I mean, the over is hitting like mofo oh.

Speaker 6 (02:26:27):
Yeah, multiple times, the dam oh my god, the over
sitting so many times, y way, so good.

Speaker 5 (02:26:51):
The whole cirl is flapping.

Speaker 8 (02:26:55):
There, the whole crowd of crap. I mean, that doesn't
make you want to bone America.

Speaker 5 (02:27:16):
Mike Psuona has got your sports right now on the
d V morning show Mike.

Speaker 9 (02:27:20):
Sports Up, brooksy By Bridgal appliants, you guys want sports
national anthems at their finest.

Speaker 5 (02:27:27):
Yeah, you need an opera guy in a hockey rink.

Speaker 9 (02:27:31):
I don't know if they even still do that anymore,
but they used to have that kind of guy in
Boston and New York and Chicago.

Speaker 2 (02:27:36):
I remember him in New York.

Speaker 9 (02:27:38):
Guy in the Tucks just oh god, just the crowd
going crazycourt.

Speaker 5 (02:27:46):
Yeah, that's the Chicago guy. That's the Bruins, the Boston guy.

Speaker 9 (02:27:50):
I think they used to be got Madison Square Garden
I think his name is John Aramonte.

Speaker 2 (02:27:55):
Was he in the military or did he like wasn't
there a guy that used to come up out and
sing the anthem in the garden.

Speaker 9 (02:28:02):
I don't know if that was the garden, but a good,
you know, classically trained singer, just letting it rip with
an organ.

Speaker 5 (02:28:10):
Oh god, you see the dogs light? What's so broadly?
The organ? It slap shiny.

Speaker 2 (02:28:29):
Click game here, I'm going to.

Speaker 12 (02:28:31):
What he does.

Speaker 5 (02:28:34):
This might have been a bad because he's older there,
he was sick too, Yeah, he'd come out.

Speaker 2 (02:28:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:28:41):
The one, the famous one of all time is the
Chicago Stadium All Star game during the Gulf War.

Speaker 2 (02:28:47):
Who is that?

Speaker 9 (02:28:48):
I don't know, but the crowd went. It was at
the old Chicago Stadium. The crowd went so berserk you
couldn't even hear the game.

Speaker 5 (02:28:54):
Andy one Wayne Messer in nineteen ninety one. Let me
see if I can queue that up. I love stuff
like this. Yeah, just American fights everywhere.

Speaker 2 (02:29:09):
This is it?

Speaker 14 (02:29:10):
Yeah, I mean there's a million facts. I'm running to
help America.

Speaker 5 (02:29:29):
Who brought.

Speaker 2 (02:29:34):
Yeah, there's.

Speaker 5 (02:29:36):
A lot of true.

Speaker 13 (02:29:37):
That was it.

Speaker 5 (02:29:38):
That was a weird time. I still was.

Speaker 9 (02:29:41):
Now anyway back to football significant development in Dublin. The
Steelers ran the football, and they ran it well and
uh better still, the offensive line knew they ran it
well and they were feeling it while they were running it.

Speaker 11 (02:30:01):
Well.

Speaker 9 (02:30:01):
Here's h extra offensive lineman Spencer Anderson, otherwise known as
number seventy four is eligible.

Speaker 7 (02:30:08):
We were having fun out there, you know, coming on
the sideline, having fun, just getting back to what you
know and playing our brand and ball. You know, we
had a couple of successful runs the past weeks, but
you know, last or two weeks ago, whenever it was,
I felt like we kind of took off in the
run game.

Speaker 2 (02:30:24):
What got you there? What got you back to playing?

Speaker 7 (02:30:27):
You know, just believing in ourselves and not trying to
do too much. Obviously, throughout the week you can kind
of know, oh man, you can get like kind of
the pressure on maybe the old lines doing this, maybe
the only line needs to do that. But then the
day just cover guys up and led Jalen, Kenny g
Caleb do whatever they need to do.

Speaker 9 (02:30:43):
Yeah, So he's talking about silencing the outside noise, right,
those guys have heard it all season. They're not good enough,
they're too young, they're too small, they stink, you know,
use it as fuel. They were able to put that
aside and they got the job done. Zach Frasier felt
the same kind of vibe and he thought the offense
of line fed off it.

Speaker 2 (02:31:03):
Yeah, I kind of that was a fun game.

Speaker 24 (02:31:05):
Uh, we're definitely getting into it with them up front,
and uh just kind of could feel their energy as
the game kept going on.

Speaker 2 (02:31:11):
And I felt like we played hard up front.

Speaker 5 (02:31:14):
And that's two guys they had fun. Do you think
the offensive line was having fun before the Vikings game? No?

Speaker 2 (02:31:21):
I don't either, and were we.

Speaker 5 (02:31:23):
So that's that's a real positive sign, right And there
you know the times they ran the yards, the yards
will carry rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 9 (02:31:31):
Everything was seasoned high by a long shot. The asterisk
is they had two chances to nail the coffin shut
running the ball and the goal line on fourth down yep,
and then the third and one before they had to
punt the ball back and they could not run the
ball and put the nail on the coffin. And Fraser
knows they're going to have to do that to be

(02:31:53):
where they need to be.

Speaker 24 (02:31:56):
We gotta finish its close, we gotta finish.

Speaker 5 (02:31:58):
Yeah, it looked like you're going into ten minut boxes.

Speaker 24 (02:32:00):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's tough. We know that's going
to happen, especially in for a minute in the game
stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (02:32:05):
But we were close.

Speaker 24 (02:32:06):
But we just gotta be a little bit better and
close out games like that.

Speaker 9 (02:32:10):
He's absolutely right, and they are going to have to
run in his stack boxes to close games. That good
teams run the ball when the other team knows they're
going to run the ball, they run it anyway, and
they run it well enough to finish the job and
we have not seen that from the Steels yet.

Speaker 5 (02:32:25):
Now, the real encouraging thing.

Speaker 9 (02:32:26):
Remember after the Seattle game, Aaron Rodgers was talking about
what do you want to see from the running game?
What will tell us it's better, and he said explosive runs,
which by their standard or ten yard runs. They had
one of those the first two weeks. They had two
at New England and they had four against Minnesota, so it's.

Speaker 5 (02:32:44):
Trending in the right direction.

Speaker 2 (02:32:46):
Now.

Speaker 9 (02:32:46):
One of those quote unquote explosive runs was Rogers' ten
yard scramble on which he fumbled and Broderick Jones recovered it,
so that one's kind of an anomaly.

Speaker 2 (02:32:56):
But I love that play because Broderick Jones kept running
after the play.

Speaker 9 (02:33:01):
Yeah, and that that was an example that spoke to me.
That was an example of the engagement they had. A
lot of people talked about Peyton Wilson. I'm glad you
brought that up, Bill, because a lot of people talked
about Peyton Wilson's chase at the end and Calvin Austin
being all the way down the field to help Metcalf
get in the end zone.

Speaker 2 (02:33:17):
No quit.

Speaker 9 (02:33:18):
Broderick Jones was the same kind of engagement. Hey, all right,
quarterback took off. I'm following him because I don't know
what might happen, but I'm gonna be there.

Speaker 2 (02:33:26):
Let he gets the ball right in his chest.

Speaker 5 (02:33:28):
You get everybody playing like that. You're one, Chris Jones.

Speaker 2 (02:33:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:33:31):
Yeah, So they're getting there, but they're not there yet.
Cleveland's the number one run defense in the league.

Speaker 2 (02:33:38):
It's gonna be tough sledding.

Speaker 9 (02:33:40):
They got to run it because they can't be in
third and eleven against these guys or Miles Garrett will
destroy this game. Yeah, and that's how they how can
they lose? That's how third and long and they have
to hold the ball. They can't play Chuck and duck,
and then that's gonna go badly.

Speaker 5 (02:33:54):
I think you have have to establish the run, no
matter how long it takes. Yeah, even and he might
not get it first half.

Speaker 9 (02:34:01):
Great point. I mean, Punton's not the worst thing here.
Same thing on the defensive side. They got to make
Dylan Gabriel and they got to put him in uncomfortable spots.
If they let Judkins in the Cleveland offensive line dictate
tempo and how the game is played, that's gonna be
a problem.

Speaker 5 (02:34:18):
I hope I can find the prop bet for Cam
Hayward pass deflecting. Yeah, what is I like a five
to nine quarterback against Cam.

Speaker 9 (02:34:29):
Doesn't throw a ton from the pocket though, because he
knows he's he knows he's a five to nine quarterback.

Speaker 2 (02:34:35):
Smart kid, smart, smart up. Well, I mean that's what
happens when you spend seven years in college. He learned stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:34:45):
When we come back, Guy Junker talking Steelers Browns for

ex guest brought to you by Edgar Snyder and associates.
They're always looking out for you in this imperfect world.
Before you talk to the insurance company, find Edgar, Guy Junker,
and gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (02:35:34):
Let's say.

Speaker 12 (02:35:37):
Good morning everybody. Feel like I haven't talked to.

Speaker 26 (02:35:39):
You in a year.

Speaker 5 (02:35:39):
I know that Ireland trip took a year off our life,
I think, and that was just a Gainness breweryt that
was seriously. My mom's like, what did you all see?
And I was like, the inside of pubs, yep, that's
the only thing we did. We went from one pump
to another, full of Steeler fans everywhere we went and
unbelievably experience. But Guy, we were talking about national anthems.

(02:36:02):
Earlier does a sport event national anthem stick out to
you as one of the all time greats.

Speaker 12 (02:36:07):
Well, Mike was talking about that. I always remember.

Speaker 26 (02:36:10):
I was actually on a skiing trip that NHL All
Star game right after the Gulf War broke up.

Speaker 12 (02:36:14):
But the guy that I always enjoyed and I covered.

Speaker 26 (02:36:16):
A lot of playoff games up in Ottawa, his name
is Lyndon Slewage.

Speaker 12 (02:36:20):
He wore his uniform. He looked like mister mcpheely if
you remember him.

Speaker 26 (02:36:24):
That he would sing the Canadian anthem, partially in French,
partially in English. The entire arena would sing it with him,
and they'd passed that big Canadian flag around through the stands,
and then he did a great job on the American
anthem too. But at the end of it he gave
this little salute with a thumbs up and a wink,
and he had gloves on, and I thought he was
I always enjoyed watching his performance.

Speaker 5 (02:36:45):
Yeah, pretty incredible, uact.

Speaker 26 (02:36:47):
I remember after that one playoff series and so they
always passed that Canadian flag around.

Speaker 12 (02:36:52):
And it looks like it looks like the ocean ripples
and it's perfect.

Speaker 26 (02:36:56):
They tried to do that at THEPG Paints Arena with
an American flag and by the time it got to
the corner of the rink it was like three quarters
cock eyed, half upside down.

Speaker 12 (02:37:05):
And then I think they only did it the one gag.

Speaker 2 (02:37:08):
Yecause it didn't work.

Speaker 5 (02:37:09):
Some dude from Dormont eating a hot dog in like
half holding up with one hand, Well, that's sure of
practiced this. In uh Croke Park in Ireland, they unveiled
a huge, terrible towel flag and I was thinking, there's
gotta be a lot of Vikings fans under there who
are super pissed by this.

Speaker 12 (02:37:26):
Yeah, that's well.

Speaker 26 (02:37:27):
I remember the Super Bowl and they unveiled it that
the Rose Bowl and Cope was on the somehow got
under the PA system.

Speaker 12 (02:37:33):
You were listening to Jack Fleming and Cope over the
whole stadium PA. So yeah, that's the cool thing. I mean,
I think it's uh.

Speaker 26 (02:37:40):
You guys were talking earlier about Pat McAfee and the
Pittsburgh influences in the NFL. Now, I mean that anytime
we're repped somewhere, it's great.

Speaker 5 (02:37:48):
Well, you know, speaking of that, he had Bruce Arians
on the show the other day and he's like, I
don't know how Stefanski's kept his job. I'm like, well,
he's a two time coach of the Year in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (02:37:59):
I don't know if out the coach of the year pff,
because how what writers like? I mean, making the playoffs
and beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh was impressive, but what else?

Speaker 5 (02:38:09):
He wasn't even there for that?

Speaker 2 (02:38:10):
By the way, Well, I mean that's.

Speaker 26 (02:38:14):
The whole dysfunction of that organization, with the surprising trade
of joke, which, by the way, I I just don't
get that. Why do you throw a life preserver to
a team in the division because they might beat the Steelers?

Speaker 5 (02:38:26):
That's That's the only thing I think of the enemies
of my enemy is my friend.

Speaker 26 (02:38:31):
Oh my goodness, I mean I think, I think I
read that's only the third time ever the quarterbacks were
traded within the same division in the history of I mean,
it just doesn't happen. And I, you know, had no
they've gotten something great in return that could improve them.
But to move up one one round in the draft,
and you're given one of your rivals a chance at redemption.

Speaker 12 (02:38:50):
I didn't get that at all.

Speaker 2 (02:38:51):
No, me neither.

Speaker 5 (02:38:53):
No. I think it's that art of war stuff. They're
a mess uh, you know, and that's why the onus
is on the Steelers weekend. The Steelers had to buy.
The Browns are coming back from London. You know, the
Steelers had time to get healthy. The Browns are probably
limping a little bit after that game, coming dealing with
the travel, losing the quarterback that took most of the

(02:39:16):
snaps in the preseason, and Newsom, a quarterback who was
a big part of that defense. I know that they
get some you know, somewhat of an equitable trade there
and a guy that's really a depth at man coverage.
But this is an organization in flux right now coming
into your house. You have to take advantage of the
early buy and get the next two wins. In the

(02:39:36):
AFC North well.

Speaker 26 (02:39:38):
You know, the Browns traded not only for the exchange
the cornerbats of Jacksonville, but they got an offensive tackle
earlier this week from Houston.

Speaker 12 (02:39:47):
You know, it's kind of like there. I don't know
if they're given up. At least they're trying to do
something I guess to get better for the rest of
this year. But I agree.

Speaker 26 (02:39:56):
Look, the Vegas guys still have Baltimore as the favorites
to win the division, and there's a lot There's been
a lot of talk the last couple I mean, can
it be any better than you get a week off
and everybody loses. I mean, it's the greatest week healthy
year and you gain ground on everybody.

Speaker 12 (02:40:10):
But you look at that last month of the season.
They got to play Baltimore twice. They have to go
to Detroit.

Speaker 26 (02:40:15):
We've talked all year about how their schedule gets tougher
at the end, and I agree with Missy Matthews.

Speaker 12 (02:40:20):
I don't feel sorry for anybody with injuries. That's the
way the game goes. But but they have to be
pointed out as a fact of what's going on.

Speaker 26 (02:40:27):
I mean, ro Conn Smith, Ronnie Stanley, Marlin Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton,
Lamar Jackson. The Ravens are destroyed right now. I'm not
quite ready to completely write them off. But if you
can win two games here in less than a week,
you know they should. Really that would provide them so
much wiggle room to stumble a little bit down the stretch.

(02:40:48):
We remember then four finish last year, I mean lots
of bad stuff.

Speaker 12 (02:40:53):
Their decembers have been awful. Four times in the last
six years.

Speaker 26 (02:40:57):
They've lost three in a row or more in the
month of December, so I'm not counting any chickens before
they're hatched here, even though things are really looking great
for early October.

Speaker 5 (02:41:07):
Yeah, no doubt about that guy. Should the Yankees fire
Aaron Boone?

Speaker 26 (02:41:12):
No, No, I don't think so. I think he's a
good manager. You know they're pitching. You know, their bullpen
especially wasn't that great all year. They did what they
always do. They can afford to do what they want
to bolster it, and they did, and Bednar pitched well
for them.

Speaker 12 (02:41:30):
But I wouldn't fire them. I mean, I'd like to
see them lose.

Speaker 26 (02:41:34):
I can't stand the amount of shots of their fans
that they show every time something goes wrong, bringing their
hands and grabbing their face and praying, and they act
like the World Trade Center just came down again.

Speaker 12 (02:41:48):
I mean, you know, your team is no more important
than anybody else's.

Speaker 26 (02:41:52):
I don't care what your history says or what you think,
but the dramatic, yeah, of course. I guess if you
spend three thousand dollars a ticket to get into the game,
is that well they had.

Speaker 12 (02:42:03):
But I think he's a good manager.

Speaker 26 (02:42:05):
I don't think he got I don't think they lost
because he got out managed Toronto. I was impressed with
Toronto when they played at PNC Park this year, just
in the way they play. They don't have to hit
three run homers four times a game.

Speaker 13 (02:42:17):
You know they can.

Speaker 12 (02:42:18):
They got some bangers, but they play small ball.

Speaker 26 (02:42:20):
They do the little things right. The only game they lost,
they're really good. Defense kind of let them down.

Speaker 12 (02:42:25):
I mean, I draw pop up, let them get back
in the game. I mean their offensive stats against the Yankees.

Speaker 26 (02:42:30):
So you know, you sit there and you watch a
Yankee lineup and you're seeing, you know, Aaron Judge, John
Carlos Stanton, all those guys coming up in a row
with all these home runs, and Paul Goldschmid, and you.

Speaker 12 (02:42:40):
Think, oh my god, what would it be like to
have a lineup like that?

Speaker 2 (02:42:43):
Right, I'll tell you what's really gonna piss me off
next year, guy, is when the Yankees this offseason trade
for Mitch Keller and it's Keller, Cole and Bednar pitching
in the pinstripes.

Speaker 26 (02:42:54):
Yeah, and in a couple more years you can throw
schemes in the mix too. I'll say this though, but
I was ly you know.

Speaker 12 (02:43:00):
PFC Park because it's such a great park.

Speaker 26 (02:43:02):
Gets so many out of town fans all the time,
and some of them command and they're they're pretty well behaved.
Some of them are cherch you know, the Philly fans.
But the Mets fans had the balls this year to
come in here and chant you're in last place and
clap their hands while the Pirates were sleeping and beating,
and they blowed that big lead and end up missing.
My favorite part of the baseball season this year as

(02:43:23):
the Mets blowing that.

Speaker 5 (02:43:25):
I'm on the all together, guy Junker. Brought to you
by Edgar Snyder in Associates this morning here on DVE. Okay,
so the Penguins get off to a pretty good start
also with that win Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. They're
back at it with their home opener tonight against the Islanders,
and can't you know, discern a whole lot from one game.

Speaker 2 (02:43:49):
Oh, they're going undefeated, but you know, no, I didn't know.

Speaker 5 (02:43:53):
Half the names I was hearing on Tuesday night. But
it was nice to see them get a win against
Sully in his new house there, and I think that
portends well, especially the fact that they didn't start Jari
and Gold and they got to shut out.

Speaker 26 (02:44:05):
Well, if you look at last year, they lost six
nothing to the Rangers to start the season, and it
was a portent of things to come.

Speaker 12 (02:44:11):
Now.

Speaker 26 (02:44:11):
I'm not saying this is gonna They're gonna have this
great defensive team, but you can't take much out of
one game out of a season of eighty two games.
But I think they played a better team defense in
that game than any game last year. The Rangers were smothered.
I felt like I was watching the New Jersey Devils
for a while they're playing, and I think that's a

(02:44:33):
look if news has them buying into being much more
one of the tough things.

Speaker 12 (02:44:38):
And Mike. I have all respect in the world for
Mike Sullivan. He did great things.

Speaker 26 (02:44:41):
It just got to be to the point I think
this guy is better suited to develop younger players than
Mike was. Yeah's who's better suited for managing superstars or
trying to win. But he's got to looks like he's
got his hands full of New York. But I just
think that if they if they played that kind of
hockey last year, all the odd man breaks and blowing
leads that they built up and just not the guy

(02:45:03):
without the puck didn't ever seem to be responsible last year.
If you didn't have the puck, you weren't doing anything.
And I saw none of that in the first game.

Speaker 12 (02:45:10):
One game. But to me, it was a drastic change
in the way they play.

Speaker 5 (02:45:14):
Guy Junker always a pleasure, buddy. We'll talk to you next.

Speaker 12 (02:45:16):
Week, okay, guys.

Speaker 5 (02:45:18):
See then see I didn't even get to ask him
about Penn State.

Speaker 2 (02:45:21):
I would have loved that. Yet, guys still there and
losing the UCLA Are you still there?

Speaker 12 (02:45:30):
I'm still here.

Speaker 5 (02:45:34):
I'm willing to go along. I want to hear what
you have to say about James Franklin.

Speaker 12 (02:45:38):
I'll face the music. All the guys that have season
tickets with one. The guy fired, one guy threatened and
did not go anymore.

Speaker 26 (02:45:44):
He's always been a great recruiter, and I think he's
always struggled a little bit within the sixty minutes of
actually coaching the game.

Speaker 12 (02:45:52):
So but I I think you know I'm not for
firing him.

Speaker 26 (02:45:57):
That was the worst loss in his And you're there
without a doubt, And I had you guys were in
Dublin two weeks ago.

Speaker 12 (02:46:03):
I wasn't on last week because I was in Nashville for.

Speaker 26 (02:46:05):
A wedding, and thank god I was at the wedding
and didn't get to watch it, and every time I
picked up my.

Speaker 12 (02:46:09):
Phone, I wanted to throw it at the groom.

Speaker 2 (02:46:15):
They've ruled the season.

Speaker 12 (02:46:16):
I mean, it's you know, they'd have to win.

Speaker 26 (02:46:19):
Out to have any chance of making the playoffs now,
and they're not gonna win in Columbus.

Speaker 12 (02:46:22):
So yeah, it's tough to watch.

Speaker 13 (02:46:24):
But I am not in.

Speaker 26 (02:46:25):
Favor of getting rid of James Franklin. Be careful what
you wish for. I think he's if he continues to
recruit like that, they'll still That's the kind of loss
they haven't had. They lose the Ohio States and the Michigan's,
but they hardly ever get upset. If they're favorite, they
win a couple more like that, and then there may.

Speaker 12 (02:46:40):
Be more whiskers.

Speaker 5 (02:46:41):
All right, thanks for hanging on a little longer. Appreciate
it that.

Speaker 13 (02:46:45):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:46:46):
See, you know I had to ask him. I mean,
you know, the way that that game was going, He's
lucky he didn't throw the phone at the groom. The
best man would have intercepted it and returned the touchdown.

Speaker 5 (02:46:56):
Thanks to Meryl Hodge, Missy Matthews, and Guy Tomorrow on
the show Dave Damasheck Shawn call your Greenfield's Finest Podcast Boys,

It's time for the Steelers 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. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 19 (02:47:43):
The Steelers will open up AFC North Play for the
twenty twenty five season when they welcome the Browns to
Akrostar Stadium Sunday afternoon at one pm. Pittsburgh already off
to an early lead in the division despite not playing
a division frow yet. We'll hope to get off to
the right start and division play against Cleveland, something history
says is probably more likely than not. The Steelers lead
the all time series against the Browns with a record
of eighty two sixty four and one, and since the

(02:48:04):
Browns returned to Cleveland in nineteen ninety nine, they've only
managed to beat the Steelers in 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.

Speaker 5 (02:48:15):
Three, a twenty two game losing streak.

Speaker 19 (02:48:18):
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 2 (02:48:22):
About beating these Browns.

Speaker 19 (02:48:24):
He boasts an impressive fourteen and four record against Cleveland
in his tenure as Steelers coach.

Speaker 2 (02:48:28):
If the Steelers can add another win to.

Speaker 19 (02:48:30):
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 on the
AFC North. I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report.

You see the skyline, you drive over the bridges. We
built that Ironworkers Local Union number three. This isn't just
a job.
