Speaker 1 (00:00):
Who in his last four games has been targeted sixty
two times and he has forty four catches. Wait, some
guys forty four catches decent season, he has that in
four game.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
That's nuts. Their problem. They're going to score points well right,
no doubt about that.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Forecast is like low fifties and rainy for Sunday.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Let's hope it stays that way. We need a blizzard again.
Their defense is just laughably like the one that brought
down the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Oh, Brandy, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning show.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm sorry, I'll stop referencing it. No, I want you
to keep going.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Today is Pie Trainer's birthday, all right. Pie Trainer would
have been one hundred and twenty seven today, And I
think Eaton Park should have a free piece of pie
every year on Pie Trainer's birthday. I think this should
be like the thing that they do every year, like
free piece of pie with every purchase of a salad
bar or something.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Pie Trainer pursued. He goes. Nobody knows whose Pie Trainer is,
and that to me is the problem.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
How how long ago did he manage in the major leagues.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
A long time ago. Yeah, he died. He died nineteen.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Seventy two, so you know he was you know, he
was playing in the turn of the century and then
managing you know, forties and fifties and stuff like that.
He debuted in nineteen twenty. His last major league appearance
was nineteen thirty seven. Okay, so I get white people
don't know who is.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
The skipper for the Buckos, right, he was for a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, and he was one of the best third basemen
in Major League Baseball.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
History, so before there was any real history.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
In nineteen twenty five, he helped the Pirates get their
first championship, first World Tarience Championship. So I'm just saying,
free pie, or at least on Corey O'Connor's inauguration day
whenever does he get inaugurated, is it any January fifth,
then they should have cream pies on that day. No Pie,

(02:20):
Trainer Field North Park, Nobody listen, trainer, All right, guy's.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Name is pie. Wait, you know why they called him pie?
Because he ain't a lot of pie. That's exactly right. Listen.
Sometimes the easiest thing, it's just a straight line. Guy.
I knew it wasn't because he was good at maths.
The guy liked pie. That's it. I'm gonna call you pie.
Damn it, that's gonna stick. Huh. Why did they call

(02:49):
him dick? But kiss? I'm gonna call you Richard? What
do you got going on over there? News?

Speaker 6 (02:59):
This hour is brought to you by a wind donation.
It's cloudy and cold today with a high of thirty eight.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Who's the jerk immigration officer who renamed that family butt
kiss when they went through Ellis Island?

Speaker 6 (03:12):
See what I put on their paper?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Did you see see the big hungarian dude over there? Kiss?
I called a buck kiss? Do you tear me right
like kiss? I will?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I will say that is a terrible generation's long prank.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
That guy's name was o'doyle butt kiss whatever, tush lick?
Why why do we have to be called buckkiss? Dad?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Because there's nothing to eat where we live, because we
had to come here and whatever they call him this,
we gotta take.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
It all right.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
The search for Bigfoot has been going on for years
and now there's been a very credible sighting in central Pennsylvania.
Researchers with the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization have I've written
a report about the encounter early last month on I
eighty in Center County.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
The witnesses say he.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
Saw a dirt figure appear to enter the highway ahead
of the vehicle in front of him. The driver describes
the creature having a human like head and shoulders standing
over the vehicle in front of him. Two others reported
seeing something that day two. One of them noted, quote,
I just want to add I know what I saw,

(04:28):
but I don't know what I saw. I'm an avid
hunter with fifty plus years in the woods, and that
was not a bear.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I know what I saw, but I don't know what
I saw. I know what I saw, but I don't
know what I saw. It's like that bush lyric Well,
never alone. I'm alone all the time.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Look, I've been to that Bigfoot convention a couple of times.
We did send out a intern one time to ask
the guy who's running in the big Foot convention about
big feet.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
So you say that bigfoot are mainly a nocturnal animal.

Speaker 7 (05:07):
Sometimes they're out on foggy mornings and after it's around dusk, but.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Generally speaking, tinder profile mid day sighting.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
It's it's it's more of a knock a matter of fact,
some investigators I've named it Homo nocturnus, as.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I have seen be much more prevalent at.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Night past night at Pegason, did you Homo nocturnus?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
You should just love o the coug happens? Like, why
are bigfoot so hard to find? They are very rare
to begin with, only a couple.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
They're basically nocturnal, basically homoturnals.

Speaker 7 (05:56):
They are very instinctive yep, to be aware of the
presence of danger.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Most of them are capricorns, so they know that if
they are observed it could lead to their death. They
just know. They travel in small bands small yeah. Swim
us swim us, oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:19):
And tend to exist an extremely impenetrable.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Alleys where they work with other.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
Animals to know when the coast is clear and when
the time is to lay low.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I mean this was like twenty years ago at Pitzers.
Oh yeah in Irwin. Yes, Janette, Jeanette is in Janet. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
And like when he says they outswim us, dude, that
makes me laugh every time.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I just picture a big foot doing the backstroke. Yeah,
you know, messing with us like spitting water up in
the air.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
They're all Michael Phelps, imagine if I shaved, I'm this
fast with.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Hair more water. So now that's not that this is
the one. This is the one. I think. What do
you suppose is the gestation period of a big foot?
Great question? What an excellent question? Time period for silverback?

Speaker 8 (07:28):
Months?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Humans? This is just a ballpark. I do not know.
I don't know, but I'm going to say between eight
and ten months. That's the first time you ever said
it out loud. Yeah, never thought about it. Why would
it be less? He was freestyling? What is the gestation

(07:50):
period of a big foot? Is there an excellent question?
I have absolutely no idea.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Let me think about that, humans, silverback, gorilla going to
go right in the middle of those two.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
He didn't go in the middle. He took the under Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Tabby's point like, are there bigfoot premies?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well yeah, dude, all right, I don't want to be
too yes, I don't want to get graphic. But there's
an interview there I won't play where this guy claims
that he saw.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
A bigfoot. No opposite, like, yes, yes, voluntary on his property.
He had that was part of his display. He like
it was so ban property. Dude, he had this huge
property like a re enactment or it actually happened. He

(08:43):
saw he had all these pictures from his property.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
He had trail cams and all this stuff set up,
and and when you went, like, dude, it was like
you walked into that like room at Pitzers where they
and they have like folding table set up everywhere, and
then people have like dioramas set up of their bigfoot
evidence and you just I.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Mean that's how it used to be. Yeah, yeah, I haven't.
I went one time and then I sent the intern
the next year. Probably marketing, it's probably a.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Lot harder now because everything is so high res. Like
back then everything was crude, Like twenty years ago, a
trail cam was probably super grainy.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
How has haven't trail cams completely ended the bigfoot conversation?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Right? They're four k now, Yeah, like they know when
they're on camera and they swim away from it. They
can skip, they jump rope, they are yeah, they're triathletes.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, they're great at the long jump.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Tough mutter.

Speaker 9 (09:49):
Of course, that's their whole life was like bigfoots running
through his backyard. They're checking their pulse, but they're aware
of surveillance it's it's.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
A damn funny. They can outswim us. Never forget that.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
All right, let's go ahead and beating in the water
to Bigfoot just goes flying.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
By, terrifying, absolutely terrifying. Chewbacca just goes swimming past you.
How was that synchronized? Bigfoot swimming? Bring it on? Well, there,
there's not enough of them. Well they travel in small bands,

(10:29):
very tiny bands. Yes, we're an American Bigfoot band.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Do you remember Harry and the Henderson's, Like, can you
recall parts of that movie?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Of course, only a little bit. I don't have a
good recall on that. Don't They hit them with their car?
Is that how they get them? A little bit? Yeah, Yeah,
it's a good big Foot. I'd like to go back
and watch that. I don't. I don't really remember much
of it. It's a little fuzzy, just like Bigfoot. The
memory is out of focus.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
The Rock and A Hall of Fame held its fortieth
induction ceremony on Saturday Night. Yesterday, we talked about Soundgarden,
the White Stripes, the recognition of Warren Zevon, and Salt
and Peppa in the Musical influence category.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Today we got to talk about Bad.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
Company, Joe Cocker, Cindy Lapper, few things that we didn't
get to. So let's get to outcasts who were inducted
in the performer category, which remember, recognizes artists who have
created music whose originality, impact and influence has changed the
course of rock and roll, which I know in saying
that that's going to tweak some people. Here's Andre three

(11:39):
thousand and big Boy, who showed up for outcast induction.
Andre did not perform, by the way, I didn't see
a lot of Big Boy.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I wonder if I wonder if he's like, I'll perform,
but it has to be my flute rock and they're like, nah,
that's cool, Andre, you can just show up. I love
the key and peel skin. What do you say? Mill
like bird seed?

Speaker 6 (12:04):
But Janell Money did hey uh, which I loved, and
it occurred to me watching her that she maybe is
on forty thirty thousand.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
What's cooling to be a pool?

Speaker 7 (12:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
No, okay, here I say, who's cooling to.

Speaker 10 (12:23):
Be a pool?

Speaker 2 (12:26):
All right on right on right on right, up right
on right on right on right on right on right
on right on right on right all right. Okay, good ladies, yeah,
we don't break this nag down or just a second.
But don't have me break this thing out for nothing.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
I want to see you.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh yeah, that is behavior. Let me see shoot. I
am no neighbor. Give me no what to check it?
Shake shake shake, shake sha shake it, shake it like
a pull a rock shot.

Speaker 11 (12:59):
You know what to.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Do? You know what to do. She was up there.
Doja Cat was up there as well.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
Tyler the creator did bombs over bag Dad. Big Boy
was on the stage. Andre was not, so I'm not
really sure why Andre didn't perform at all.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
They did. They got inducted by.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
Donald Glover or Childer Scambino, but Andre got really choked
up when he did the acceptance speech. And I don't
know if you got to hear that. He also named
checks Jack White in that cool thing.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
One thing that Jack said, man, Jack is man. He's
one of my favorites.

Speaker 7 (13:42):
Man.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
We love you man. But one thing that he said,
he said.

Speaker 11 (13:46):
Something about little rooms and we started and.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
He spilled like birds eat, smell like birdslat low rooms.
Great things start in little rooms. That's it. Lone mill
o pomone man. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
I saw outcast in the strip District in the Crane Building,
which was an abandoned warehouse that they used to throw
raves in, and no one was there. Nobody even knew
about it. I don't even know how I knew about
it at that time. That was when raves weren't like
publicized like you. They weren't promoted you or they were promoted,

(14:48):
but just like under hand to hand, And I was
just like, how am I watching outcast right now in
an empty warehouse just like the craziest boogers after that
concer just from breathing in.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
All that Oh oh yeah, I mean it was just
like one of the dirtiest buildings I've ever been in.
It was probably condemned. Yeah, you were likely just in
an asbestos fog all night.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
That's not what they were talking about there, like small
rooms like actual clubs.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah. I think that was just like the weirdest concert
experience I think I've ever had. Where's that building or
was it that?

Speaker 5 (15:26):
It's like down in the Strip District area. It's probably
been demolished by now. This is like ninety nine, two
thousand and one.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, time period. It probably costs three million dollars for
a one bedroom townhouse. Yeah, right, definitely.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
But I think that is what he's talking about. I
mean they start, you start in little rooms when nobody cares.
But playing places like that is what builds you. The
White Stripes played the thirty first Street Pub.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
So it is little rooms, it builds your legacy. Later
in the show, and this is thing I also wanted
to get to because I didn't expect to see him
as part of this, but Elton John paid tribute to
Brian Wilson, who died on June the eleventh, and he
did God Only Knows Choice.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's a huge song.

Speaker 6 (16:14):
And he had a band that included Don was on
stand up bas benmont Tench from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, and
Sammy Hagar's drummer Kenny Aronoff To me, so.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
What good were living? Me? Got on? What will?

Speaker 10 (16:36):
All?

Speaker 2 (16:36):
You got? God on him? Without you? God on.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
God on what without you?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Got on? God on? Know?

Speaker 4 (17:14):
With TV.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
People were dragging him for that. I think that was fine.
I mean, if you don't put a whole, you know,
choir of background singers doing all those parts back there,
it's going to feel a little emptier than the original recording.
But I don't know, I thought he was fine there.
He's an older.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Guy in tribute to a contemporary, you know, and he's
a legend.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
You have to take it that way.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
Before, Elton had said, before he sang that song, he
met Wilson in nineteen seventy while he and Bernie Toppin
and Danny Hutton of Three Dog Knight were working together.
But he said he was so scared because Brian Wilson
was his idol and that he had influenced him more
than anybody else when it came to writing songs, and

(17:58):
that throughout his career he and Brian became friends. They
sang on each other's records, and he felt like they
just admired each other, they loved each other, and that
he couldn't think of anybody else that he'd rather pay
tribute to. So there might have been a reason he
wanted to do it without a lot of accompaniment. I
agreed with you. When I first watched it, I'm thinking, like,

(18:20):
why aren't we doing all of the vocals because that's
such a big component.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
But that's a component of the Beach Boys.

Speaker 12 (18:27):
Yeah, you know, so men the symphonic arrangement, right, and
so like maybe that's like a he just wanted to
hone in on Brian Wilson and the message of that song,
and so maybe there was a bigger meaning to that.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, so I I taking.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
Myself out of like the what where's all the harmonies?
Maybe that was the bigger message and why he wanted
to do it that way.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
The thing I think about with Elton John and Brian
Wilson is always that the documentary with Elton John and
Leon Russell where Leon Russell just had brain surgery literally literally,
and he's like, you can't tell it he's awake or
asleep in any of the scenes because he has shades
on and his big, long white hair and a cowboy hat.
He's just like sitting catatonic in the corner.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Leon.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
That was a magnificent take, wonderful, absolutely spinitic. And then
there's the day that Brian Wilson is coming to the
studio and Elton is just beside himself excited because they're
gonna meet for the first time. Since they recorded Help
Me Ronda in nineteen sixty five, Leon and Brian Wilson
have not seen each other. This is just going to
be monumental and I cannot wait to see this meeting

(19:28):
of the minds, and then like all that happens is
Leon's like, I gotta go, and somebody wheels him in
a wheelchair out to the parking lot, you know, and
Elton is ostensibly like, oh, they're not going to meet
in the studio, but they meet each other in the
parking lot and you're like, oh, here's.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
The big meetup. They haven't seen each other in forty years,
and Brian Wilson just goes, hi, Leon, go listen to
what I played, and then walks past him. That's it.
He's like eating some eminems that he had he took
in the studio. Anybody I did something cool in there?
Tell me if you like, I'm gonna go get a

(20:08):
hot dog.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Like Brian Wilson, you kind of think, like forty years
to him, might as well be like four days.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, you know, yeah, is that just drug use or
what is that?

Speaker 8 (20:20):
Like?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I think a combination of the drug use and exacerbated
mental illness for sure. You know, he had pretty severe
schizophrenia and he was totally screwed up by the doctor
Eugene Landy, who's from.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Pittsburgh. Cloudy and cole to I have thirty eight when you.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Come back, Mike Pursuda with your sports getting ready a
few days away now Steelers Bengals Sunday.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
This is a moved on. This is a big one. Now,
I can't what am I gonna? What is there to
review Sunday night?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Other than the defense did what they were supposed to do.
In the offense was abysmal. I mean, you can jump
down Arthur Smith's throat if you want for having a
game plan that's stunk.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
But Aaron Rodgers was so off.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's hard to know who to criticize after that, Yeah,
because you don't really know whose fault it is when
you can't get execution at all out of your quarterback.
I'm not exactly sure what happened to him, but he
that was his worst game maybe in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
In his career. I mean, he had one worse.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
With the Jets, but I think probably early in the
season on in his comeback.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Wasn't it his like second worst passer rating ever, which
is not always just indicative of how bad of a
game it is.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
I think he was really bad.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
He was just really bad, and I'm not sure that
the quarterback rating is even reflective of how off he was.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
But they got to turn it around.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
Joe Flacco and the Bengals coming to town for a
one o'clock kickoff Sunday. All of the action right here

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Let's talk some more about the Bengals defense in preparation
for Sunday's visit to Akershuer Stadium by Cincinnati. More specifically,
let's let Adam Archiletta of CBS talk about the Bengals defense,
because he was doing that a lot a week ago
Sunday when the Bengals were playing the Bears.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Now, anybody a novice football.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Fan can look at a stat sheet and see how
terrible the Bengals stats are. But when you watch a game,
and you watch these national games, you know the color
analyst is there to try to fill in some filled
some of the blanks with the x's and o's and
why did what just happened happen? They're not usually just
ripping people and being controversial, right they The comments are

(23:05):
usually kind of muted. Here's some of the stuff Archiletta
had to say about the Bengals defense during the Bears
game early in the game. Quote, they have a bad
combination their inability to stop the run and also their
inability to rush the passer. If you can't do either
of those, it's gonna be really tough to play good defense.

(23:25):
All right, Let's fast forward to late third quarter when
Chicago is in the process of moving up and down
the field, scoring a ton of points.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't know defensively how they're going to be able
to stop the Bears. Their defense is siggnificantly letting you down.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Now, the Bengals pull that miracle comeback.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
We talked to their less than three minutes left or
down two touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
They don't have the.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Ball, they score get an onside kick score.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Now they're up by one point.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Quote, if you're Zach Taylor, do you have any confidence
in your defense? That was fifty four seconds left? And
the answer is no, because three plays later the Bears
are in the end zone and the Bengals lose. Wow,
can't stop the run, can't rush the passer.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
And they've been sitting in that feeling for ten days.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
We don't have to go into schematics, we don't have
to go into who's playing and who's They're just awful.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
This is for the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
This is the get right game or the forget it
it ain't happening game, because I gotta go Winston Churchill
on your end.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
If not now win, If not them who seriously, look,
I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
I mean our quarterback went to high school with Winston Churchill,
So that's one thing. But there, guys, not such a
spring chicken either. You know, have you guys ever heard
of Kyle Manungai? Isn't that the ancient Swahili practice of
oh is this a person?

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah? Oh no.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
He's a seventh round rookie running back out of Rutgers
for the Bears. Five eight, two hundred and ten pounds.
He carried the ball twenty six times for one hundred
and seventy six yards against Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Manunghay Kung a tough guy.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
It's a tough dad. He's trying to make his way
to the NFL. Just he went through these guys like
they weren't there.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Cincinnati came into that game averaging four hundred and thirteen
point six yards against per game, gave up five seventy six.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
That's who they are.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
I don't think that they should try to engage in
a shootout. I think that you should try to run
the ball and possess the ball and then score at
the end of those drives because they are not set
up to score with Cincinnati. If Cincinnati gets on.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
A tear, I'm fine with that. But score at the
end of those drives. And we're not talking Boswell from No.
From thirty three yards because Flacco is real and Jamar
Chase is real and T Higgins is real, and you know,
as bad as the Bengals defenses, this isn't a fluke
what Flacco's doing. He is activating elite wideouts and they're very,

(26:19):
very difficult to stop. As the Steelers found out a
couple of Thursday nights ago.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, when they threw to Chase twenty three times, that
would be the night. Yeah, that night and the twenty
third time, nobody covered him.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
But he remember that one wobody covered him there was
that he was so open the camera couldn't capture another
Steeler anywhere in the frame.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
You had to go to Google Earth to find a defender. Good.
It's not usually this cut and dried, but this time
it is. It is.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Look, it's to me, this is all about Aaron Rodgers.
The way the defense is playing right now, you're gonna
get what you get. I mean, they might slow him
down a little bit. They shouldn't be able to run
like they did last time on us.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
No, and then the hope is he also would get
a sack at the right time, or a pick at
the right time, or some drive stopping play that that.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Quells the momentum. Yeah, and he does well against the
blitz Flacco. He's pretty effective there.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
So maybe have an awareness that they do have a
running back right now.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
At all that gets tough, by the way, No, Jace Brown, Yeah, yeah,
he's very similar to Jalen Warren. Runs hard, doesn't catch
the balls consistently, as warn but they use him in
the passing game a lot.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
He's just everyone's all lay one on the.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Carpet, but he's a littler, thicker guy that just goes, goes, goes.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Arthur Smith needs a dealt up something different, And I
agree with you, and I was saying it yesterday. I
don't understand why the offense doesn't go through Jalen Warren.
I really don't. I thought that was the plan this year.
Run the ball, run the ball, throw it to a
tight end for the first down.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Like, does he have twenty carries in a game on
the season. He had his career high early in the year.
I forget which game. I thought it was like eighteen
or something. Yeah, does that sound right?

Speaker 3 (28:11):
I think he should be getting twenty five a game.
I don't think Aaron Rodgers should be thrown at thirty
one times a game.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, I mean if he's catching it in play action
and dumping it here, dumping it there.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
What's do you see the stat Williamson had about how
far down his average yards per throw are.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Now he's down a five point six yards. Yeah, I'm
not too concerned about that. If they just hit it
to the open guy. I mean he didn't throw it
very far to dk Metcalf in Dublin and it went
eighty yards for a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Get it to the right guy in the right place,
at the right time, and good stuff will happen.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Abbey has your news.

Speaker 6 (28:42):
At the top of the hour, We're going to take

As a priest said on the Free iHeartRadio.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
App, injury attorneys always have the best stories. Hey, it's
Bill Crawford here with our buddy Ci from Better Call
si Cy.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Can you tell us a good story?

Speaker 13 (30:15):
I was hired by a biker who was injured when
riding his Harley on the freeway. He ran into a
scaffolding that had fell off the back of a pickup truck. Now,
this guy was salted the earth, good decent, hardworking family man,
but he was also in a so called one percenter
biker club. So as you can imagine, the police made
no effort to help, no effort to find the pickup truck,
no effort to find who dropped that scaffolding, and they

(30:37):
actually blame my client for hitting it. After months of
investigation came up empty, I threw a hail Mary Pass.
I put an ad on Craigslist and offered ten thousand
dollars for information leading to a successful verdict. After dozens
of false leads and more than a few really weird offers,
I got a tip that actually sound incredible.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
I followed up and filed suit.

Speaker 13 (30:54):
Three months after receiving that tip, the case settled for
seven figures.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Now, see that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
If you need help, better call SI for one two two,
one three six thousand, or better call side dot com.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Hey's Radio Home with Pittsburgh Steelers one O two point
five dv our next guests brought to you by Edgar
Snyder and associates. They are always looking out for you
in this imperfect world. Before you talk to the insurance company,
find Edgar from the Steelers Audio Network postgame show. It's
Charlie Batch. Ladies and gentlemen, Charlie, it's up, good morning.

(31:31):
How's ever one good man? What's going on? Oh? Man,
thanks would be better. You better believe that. Well, thanks
to be better for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And we've just
been talking about Aaron Rodgers' performance on Sunday night or
lack thereof. And do you think this is the aberration
or do you see a trend of Uh, he's running
out of gas. No.

Speaker 11 (31:53):
As I went back to watch it, let me do
race concern as it relates to me thinking, Okay, this
is it for Aaron. There were some throws in the
game that he missed. Yes, he would love to have back.
But if you go back and say, well, if the
mechanics is screwed up, well it's always been that way
and that's why he broke almost sixty five thousand yards.
So that's never going to change at this particular point.
He just had to go back there and knowing that

(32:15):
hey work a little our angle, I could complete those throws.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
That changed the narrative coming out.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Of the game.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Charlie Mike from Bridgeville the deep ball to Metcalf Rogers
said he missed them. I would expect him to say that,
but it looked the more I looked at it, it
looked like Metcalf maybe flattened the route out a little
bit at the end.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
What did you see on that one?

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Just and conceptionally, what is supposed to happen there when
you see a guy break open deep and it's maybe
not your first read, but you want to hit him. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (32:49):
Obviously, the timing of the play was disrupted because of
the pressure that was created from the left side, so
he wasn't able to throw it on time. If he did,
that could have been to been a potential touchdown. But
because he had to scramble through the left, DK now
has to go and he's set sets the angle. Aaron
sees that he throws it and DK comes just a
little flat and they're off by just the hair.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
But it's a very.

Speaker 11 (33:10):
Difficult throw Meggan that was rolling left, throwing back right
to complete the pass, and the margin that er was thin,
and obviously they weren't able to connect it. So that again,
that's one opportunity that was missing the game.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
For sure.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
It seems like Chuck that the Bengals defense is just
what the doctor ordered. But I do think that this
game is a little dangerous because of the fact that
they can score. How do you think they should approach
this game from an offensive standpoint.

Speaker 11 (33:37):
Yes, I'm gonna have to control that time of possession,
something they haven't been able to do throughout the course
of this season. But because you go back to the
last game and you're like, wow, this seems like a game.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
That whoever has the ball last is going to.

Speaker 11 (33:48):
Win because they can't stop each other. This is going
to be a proved game for the Steelers, And I'm
hoping that playing in front of that acting short crowd,
they get involved in the game, making that a crowd
noise a factor in the game. And if you do,
the offensive line gets off a split seconds slower and
you're able to dominate the same way they're able to
dominate in the Colt game. So hopefully that is an

(34:09):
advantage that they're able to take advantage of this week.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Well, how much different is this Bengals team since the
last time we've seen them? I mean, are they appreciably
better or is it the exact same horse we saw before.

Speaker 11 (34:21):
It's a little bit more confidence because you know, already, hey,
we beat this team a few weeks ago. Now we
go into their stadium and essentially now create disruption in
the division, because now that'll gives them a two game
lead against the Steelers that had dropped the Steelers to
five hundred and ultimately, now whatever happens over the next
seven six or seven weeks, so Bengals could potentially think

(34:43):
that they're in it. So one thing for sure, they're
coming to.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Here confident, But don't they hate themselves?

Speaker 5 (34:49):
Like in the last time we saw them, they lost
that game to the Bears, and the whole offense is
talking trash on the defense and then they've had a
week off.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Does that impact you? Ever been on a team that
hated itself? I have it because that was new.

Speaker 11 (35:08):
But of course when you have the main person that's
talking with, who is Jamar Chase with.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Better way for him to sit back.

Speaker 11 (35:13):
And said boom. I would love the Steelers right now.
Last time I played against them, I was targeted.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Twenty six times.

Speaker 11 (35:19):
So you know that they're going to turn around now.
And you know that's why I stayton just talking about
that confidence perspective. But again, this is not a game
by any means the Steelers can take lightly and they
this is almost a must win a game of this
season as early as what we are right now.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Chuck, shouldn't they be going through Jalen Warren more on
this offense.

Speaker 11 (35:39):
They really should have and I mean when you go
back and look at what Jalen Warren is doing it
even you know, he finished with seventy of the team
seventy three rushing yards and there was a series in
the game when they were backed up they handed the
ball to Caleb Johnson twice they brought Canade game well
in and that was the drive that resulted into the safety.
So when Jalen was on the field, he is a

(35:59):
big fact because he's a home run here from anywhere
on the field, and then Arthur Smith has to do
a better job of.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Getting him involved in the pocket.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Two days away, Charlie from the Batch Foundation's annual fundraiser,
and this year is bigger than ever.

Speaker 11 (36:13):
Yes, we're super excited because we're extremely close to a sellout,
so this is obviously excited for Best of the Batch Foundation.
But yeah, so on the Thursday, we are having our
annual in the Pocket event sixteen years of it, which
is a pool, poker, ping pong and this year we're
adding cornholes to the equation. So we're super excited about
that that all the funds are raised that they go

(36:33):
to our out of school time and our STEAM programs
and we say Steam instead it's them because we include
the A for arts. So we're having that the Distillery
Complex this Thursday, seven pm. The more information about the event,
you can go to Batchfoundation dot org. If you can't
attend the event physically, we are opening up our silent
option this week so you have an opportunity to bid
on some huge option items. And one of the ones

(36:55):
that I'm excited about, Randy I opened up the box
and actually there was a guitar and it was signed
by the member of the Sticks.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
I was like, why this is cool? So you know,
they wrote.

Speaker 11 (37:06):
A note they said and we invite it and they
wrote a note and they said, hey, sorry because they're
on tour. It'll be in West Virginia here soon, but
next year they're hoping to come into town. So we're
super excited about it. But again, all information is at
Batch Foundation dot org.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
That's awesome, And Charlie, if you can you know, when
you're hanging out there in the pocket on Thursday night
with some of your former teammates from that Super Bowl
forty team, see if you can corral enough of them
to go in the locker room and scare the Bejesus
out of these guys again into the performance that you
got out of them against the Colts, because we're gonna
need to get this win on Sunday.

Speaker 11 (37:37):
Absolutely gate a message to everybody on Thursday.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
We need to be there on Sunday.
