Speaker 1 (00:02):
Old Ringo and old Paul McCartney in the video like
playing with them in a band.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
And as he sang the song and it synced up
perfectly to them playing it live, and I was just
the entire time I was nerded it out, thinking how
did they They must have clicked that in in their
ears and then fired the video at the exact same time,
and they must have like the drummer must be playing
on a click. Something's got because it was right in
time with the video. It's like you're watching them perform
(00:30):
at live and everyone on the screen is singing it
exactly back to you. And it had a lot of
weird AI stuff in that video, like it reanimated John
and George a bunch of.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Times and stuff like that, which I didn't love.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
It probably feels weird and also amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's exactly what it was. It was like, I don't
want to like this slop, but it Prince.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
With a selfie stick, you know, or whatever that Rod
Stewart thing was.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've been forever with Jupac right, Brandy Bellman and the
DV Morning.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Show, The Paul McCartney set list last night, Help coming Up?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Got to get you into my life. Baby, you can
drive my car.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Letting go, come on to me, let me roll it
getting better all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Let him in.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
My Valentine nineteen and eighty five. Maybe I'm amazed. I've
just seen a face falling.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yes, I'm bolding in spite of all the danger.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Which is the first song they ever recorded, Love Me
Do Dance Tonight, Blackbird Here Today Now, and then Lady
Madonna Jet being for the benefit of mister Kite something,
Oh bloody Obla band on the run, get back, let
it be live and let doge may Jude, I've got
(01:52):
a and this is the encore. I've got a feeling.
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band Helter Skelter Golden Slumbers
carry that.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Weight the end. Yeah, that's he is eighty three years old.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He played bass, guitar or piano on every single song
and sang every single song.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
And then broke the stage down at the end he did,
which was incredible.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yes, I suffer from you know, a little bit of
what do I want to call it, like Beatles' ambivalence.
And I think the reason why is because when I
was coming up in music, everyone compared or everyone basically
said like you like, you gotta like if you don't
like the Beatles, then you have no taste in music.
And I was like, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
And so I just recoiled at it.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
But go going through that list and just hearing some
of those songs, like hearing Paul McCartney sing Blackbird at
the end. I mean, I've heard Blackbird a million times,
but it's still I would like, really have liked to
have seen that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Hearing him do that with his like voice breaking up
as he's doing it because he's eighty three. Johnny Cash
doing her it was I mean, I think I have it.
I think I can play it here, but it's like
off my phone. I don't know if it's gonna work
too well. But he was also suspended in air, which
was kind of crazy.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Wait, what you know like.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Pink does whenever she's.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Waiting, He's flying around the crowd.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Yes, he's flying around the No, No, he's he was
on a platform and it's slowly going up until he's about.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
What's really yeah, looks yeah, I feel like you need
to be clipped in and then under the stage as
it rows up in the sky.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Led monitors are underneath it, there's.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Like blackbirds flying.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Fu. I think it's.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I think he screwed up one thinking a guitar.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I got like not working.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Perfectly, imperfect.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Fun, it's just not player.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, so pretty pretty good.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
It's weird to hear that stadium or that arena that
enraptured and quiet like and respectfully, because yeah, yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 9 (04:56):
Can I ask you a question that has really nothing
to do with singing or song or anything like that?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Was there a lot of coughing.
Speaker 9 (05:05):
Because my experiences, anybody around that age can't talk so
long without coughing.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Oh, I thought you met in the audience.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
In the audience everywhere, like just in general.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I think he did pretty good. Yeah, the people around no,
they were Yeah, that was bad.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
There was here.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
The worst is so I was telling you that the
average age is like sixty plus. So it took forever
to get in because nobody knew how to use their
phones for their ticketing. And they brought, you know, duffel
bags like they were going to a hockey tournament, and you're,
you know, you're not allowed to do any of that.
You know, you can't bring bags in. And every time
(05:49):
some of these older people needed to get up and
down and go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I mean it was it was like a parade of people.
And then you couldn't get mad because a lot of
times they needed help, you know, prostate issues and so.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
But like it would just be like they're playing a song.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You're like, this is my favorite song, and they would
be like five people walk in front of you like elephants. Slow.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'll tell you how you do that. Invite my section
of the Steelers game. Believe me, this was coming up,
which was the second song of the night.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It's like.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
I can't believe to cough, he said, he was talking.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
This song is about Flynn coming up, coming up there,
my gird, there it is. Abby's got a news update
for you.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Black gird singing, and there's this hour brought you by
Keystone Basement Systems with Basement Keystone Basements Systems dot Com, mostly.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Bud and Breezy with eight Shower Today in a high a.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Fifty, a vehicle was hanging out of a parking garage
for hours in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. A UPMC spokesperson said
a driver rear ended a parked vehicle in the South
Achin garage in Oakland, vehicle that was hit was pushed
into a concrete barrier, which fell to the ground.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Police taped off the garage until toad trucks could remove
both vehicles, but a UPMC employee said the crash sounded
like an explosion. Crews spent a couple hours securing the cars,
clearing debris, and then getting the cars towed away.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Now this is the I'm guessing the parking lot at
the professional building, not the hospital.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
I'm trying to think, come south, ache in there.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Yeah, it's all right around the corner though, right my
dermatologist is there.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And that parking lot, oh, it's a nightmare. Is the
worst parking lot in America.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
The one that goes down and it's outside and yeah, as.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're turning left to make the circles going down, there
are cars coming up at you and it's all and
you have to like, if it's your first time in there,
you very easily could get in an accident. And they
have been redoing that garage, So I'm guessing that's the
one it was. It wasn't the hospital side.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I think you're correct, but that it is completely destroyed.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
It's like, oh yeah, almost trying to back out and
then throw it and drive and gund it or something
like that. You got to hit I mean that's pretty hard.
Panels off the anchors.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well, I was probably seeing people who were blocking up
the aisles last night.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I mean the air bags went off, so you have
to hit it really hard.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
And it's in the like that Bermuda triangle of Pittsburgh
where it's like Oakland, shady Side, Bloomfield, Friendship.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Yeah, right East Liberty, Yeah, what are we bomb Boulevard
intersects with the Nexus of the Universe.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But that parking lot, once you get to the bottom,
it's like you could go at that one far side
and what's that tur or that school Winston Thurston whatever.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, it's like it butts up against that and that
looks like the easiest way to make an escape, and
there's always a fence there and you're like, oh, I
could avoid going up that spiral of death parking garage
if they would just open this up. And they don't,
and they never do, and there's always construction in there.
And it amazes me that a hospital makes you do
(09:27):
such a dangerous thing before you enter it.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
It's like it's like, uh, you know, you have to dodge, uh,
you know, girder turts, you know, because it's I mean,
you know, think of who's going to those doctor's offices
most of the time.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's not like a J. Foyt. You know, these are
people max Verse.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
It's people that that's that's moles have changed slightly and
it's concerning.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's a big band aid face ratio. Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Ignasia Fernandez, a contestant in the Miss World Chile pageant
who surprised the judges and viewers with a crushing death
metal performance during the semi finals last week, has been
crowned the winner of the entire competition.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
You get to hear her. No, first of all, she's gorgeous.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Like stupid. It's unbelievable how pretty she is.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Stupid gorgeous. Keep that in mind when you hear this.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Let me see what's her name again?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Her name is Ignacia so I g n A c
I A Fernandez.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Take a listen. Oh yeah, look, how happened?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Paula Gartney did this in the encore.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Yeah he's China.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Clear his throat save for the end.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Yeah, Chile.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
This is her band, This is her band, bang.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Ba.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I cannot tell you how many people sent that to
me and wrote, I think you'll like this.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Okay, So she's twenty seven years old.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
The name of her band is called deceas Us and
and she had her guitarist come on stage and that
was basically.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Her talent portion.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
I feel like the metal scene in other countries has
to be insane, Like like I was looking this up
last night, all these like metal festivals and they're all
in like Stockholm and Japan and Sweden.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But all those Nordic metal bands, like one out of
every five of those bands the lead singer is an
actual murderer.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It seems like these guys go to jailsiration somewhere.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
They're more like Nordic areas. Yes, yeah, but to your point,
like Mexico and South America, like those countries, the metal
scene is so intense.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah yeah, what is it? Whating is like just I
don't know why really.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Really works there.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I was in a death metal band in like the
like twenty ten's and I remember like all of the
potential bookings that were out of the country. They're like, no,
we do nothing in the United States, but let me
show you what the numbers are outside of the United States,
especially in South America, and I'm like, what, so, like.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
They were plus you see in crowd like at like
a it'll be like a you know, a Ryan Adams
show and they're like washing and you're like wow, like
nobody has their phones out, Like it seems insane.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
What is it about that part of the country or
that country that goes so crazy?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I don't know, I may be generalizing the Nordic.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
No, there's bands like Mayhem.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Varg Vikernes killed his guitarists, he's in jail for murder.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Well, there's a huge Well who's the.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Serial killer guy?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Though?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Wasn't there one guy who killed like a bunch of people?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah, there's if you want to there's a there's a
documentary called Until the Light Takes Us that goes through
kind of the death metal scene in which like there
are basically a ton of pagan origins with the church
burnings and things like that, and it was because like
the Catholic Church was building on sacred grounds for their religions,
(13:41):
and there was there was a bunch of intertwined things
about different religions that were also feuding. But you also
have to remember that a lot of these guys that
were getting pulled into this death metal scene were also
derelicts and displaced teenagers from bad homes and then they
found themselves.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
These are my people.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Kind of ingrained into like a spooky, scary like hey
you belong here.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Though I understand when like Nordic people like gravitate towards
metal and death metal in that whole scene. I don't
understand when Mexicans and South Americans who live in you know,
what's nice.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Steel drum to a double kick, Like it's like what
what what? What happened to you that? You know we're
playing reggae's like.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Player from California Bay Area.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's true, that's good, But the Bay Area is not
southern Los Angeles, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
It gets dark up there regardless.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
All of those you know, even like Metallica megat of like,
those are people that essentially they're growing up poor and
they're growing up in bad either family situations, economic situations,
whatever it is, and they're just ripe to be looking
for for a group to fall into.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You fall into the wrong root.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Then it starts to get like how extreme can you
be with this death metal scene? It starts getting too
dangerous extremes and what you're talking about with with Mayhem,
there's bands like literally death and it started to get
to like they're all living together and the next thing
you know, oh, I killed my roommate.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
But now.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Now let's advantageously use this to the band's lore and
now let's eat his brains.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
But now, Abby, we have missed Universe singing death metal
on network television. Like does that take away some of
the of the appeal? So where where are the disaffected
youth going to go now that the beautiful popular girl
has found out about their their their art forms?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Almost not fair?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Yeah, I mean, in.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Some ways, I think that there's still like a huge
barrier to entry there because I think you could see
that and unless you have something in you that gets
attracted to that type of music, it's just a.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Parlor trick for a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I guess that's true.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
You have to want to she stuffed their toe, was like, hey,
that sounds pretty good, Like how did I do that?
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Due to March Simpson impression one day?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Wait, wait a minute, you know I.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Mean best hidden trick ever though?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Right?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Not your talent show performance for a miss World Contestant
and she won.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Well, good for her and she won, which is the
Bea never did.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Anything like that, like the mass killing anything, just a
little circle line, a little more.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
Mind.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
We spent a lot of time in India. We don't
know what happened over there.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
There's a rumor that someone killed Stu Suckcliffe, remember, like
John Lennon. I actually don't know's there's there's this whole
conspiracy theory that John Lennon.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Didn't they think on Strawberry Field that Paul was dead.
That was that was like the original death metal. Yeah,
but he wasn't. Well, they put it in their head
their heads. They they hypnotized that you Paul McCartney last
night paying tribute to George Harrison.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Playing it on a ukulele that George gave him.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I mean, it was an amazing how they clicked in
it's too let's Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It was amazing. My only complaint is just too expensive.
It's just way too expensive.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Although with the visuals, the time of the band for
what ended up being like did you say it's three
hour show?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah? Too long?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
It's for that population group on a weeknight, Get out
of here.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I asked the two of you on who the comedy
equivalent is of all of these rock stars who reached
the age of eighty and still perform, Like, is it
only exclusive to music?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Is it?
Speaker 9 (17:58):
Because yes, I mean there's a couple of guys like
we named Seinfeld, name Cosby would have been.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Comedian that any audience would sit through and have a
good time for three hours.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Oh, that part of it is different.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh okay, I'm just talking about I'm talking about like
commanding an audience, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Maybe Chappelle when he gets to that age.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
On stub Hub to sit in the Nosebleeds last night,
Like I think we paid.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Like not quite that much, but to see Seinfeld that
the ben at them was a couple hunts Like it
was like two hundred and fifty bucks or something like that.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
It was not cheap.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
Here's my take on that though, and it's probably a
hot take. I think it's okay to have that expensive
of a ticket price for a guy of that age.
Everybody's retired, everybody has enough money to go see him
at that point, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It's the younger bands that are gouging people where I'm like, where.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
The hell do you get off? Yeah, well, yes, a.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Damn beetle or what is the cut of the intermediaries
between the artist and you know?
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Right?
Speaker 6 (19:11):
For all we know Paul McCartney be like, oh dude
for free ticketmasters?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Just like how what five hundred.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Mister Wednesday, Jeff conkol you got anything coming up? I
have a gig that I would like people to come to.
How's that for a promotion beer out in Lawrenceville. It's

Man.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Thank you for listening and thank you for your time.
My name has been Jeff Conkle. Your powers of promotion

Speaker 12 (20:13):

Speaker 13 (20:53):
Com from the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptional
service Bridgeville.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Plan isn't about Paul McCartney. He didn't do the reck
of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I thought opportunity, missed opportunity there.
But hopefully the Steelers aren't sinking to the bottom here herew.
Speaker 11 (21:11):
Says an acoustic version of that he cut a long
time ago. He's going to release that when he releases nuts,
does he really?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I mean, I can see him doing that.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's weird because like Dylan loves Gordon Lightfoot absolutely loves him.
He inducted him into the Singer Songwriter Hall of Fame
or something like that, and I don't think people think
of him that way. But people certainly think of Paul
McCartney in that regard.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
As a Hall of Famer. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, first ballot.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Now one of the Mike Tomlin is being considered as
a first ballot Hall of Famer as a coach, Mike.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
I don't have a first ballot. You know, you win
a super Bowl. He's in the top ten all time wins.
He'll probably get there.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
However, I keep seeing scenarios or people running him out
of town on a rail right now or.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
You know, are you referencing the uh Mike Greenberg? He
should be the coach of the Giants. Yes, it's a
pretty comfortable rail.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh to the Giants? Is it for more money? As
the New York media?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
But he likes it.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
On Payday, well, I saw people saying Belichick is going
to go back to the Giants.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That would be awesome because a lot of history there.
Jordan Jordan Hudson would be like the Bell of the ball.
She would be in the New York on the Hudson
every day. Yes, anyways, coach Tom, Yeah, I was trying
to make the segway earlier. Uh you know, unsuccessful. Weed
(22:42):
we did. We hogged this break already.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
We are our own.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Hey, I was at the I've got an excuse. I
was up late watching a Beatle as you should have been.
I left early and all the songs I love the
most were played after I left because I had to
get some sleep. We had Sunday night. I want to sleep,
while Monday night.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You drive you it's like you're sitting there. I can't.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I have seen more concerts than anybody you know, I know,
but not like that one.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
I know. But also think about how hard it was
to get into the venue. He's probably in his brain going,
I'm not getting home until two in the morning.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And that was all I was doing the entire time.
I like, I'm looking if I leave now. I got
at ten, then walk to my car.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
See, that's one of the reasons I didn't go is
because I wouldn't have been able to do that, and
I wouldn't have been able to not go to shales
in properly pregame beforehand. I know I would not have
been able to. I can't sit there. Oh I should
leave now it's quarter I got one.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Beer for ceremonial purposes and zipped it and watch the show.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
You know, but I was thinking about that though.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I didn't want to be like tanked, because the last
time I was there was for Billy Strings on Saturday night.
I was bombed, you know, like that sweet spot you
don't get but you get happy. No, I was the
happiest guy in the planet. Yeah, very happy.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
I try to run up the score in the first quarter,
and then I take my foot off the gas A
great way to the second half, Yeah, to great the
air out of the ball.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, I do that for Steelers games, pregame hard, have
a couple in the first half.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
And then just relax.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Well, Aaron Rodgers didn't start strong Sunday. He didn't finish
well either, and the in between kind of suck too.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I than that.
Speaker 11 (24:32):
Mike Tomlin isn't concerned about this being the possible beginning
of a downward trend for his quarterback, who is going
to turn forty two on December second.
Speaker 13 (24:44):
I'm not gonna, you know, talk it up to an
off night, but there are no long term concerns.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
They emphasized that a couple of times yesterday. I hadn't
seen any hint of Rogers being a quote unquote old
quarterback to Sunday. So, you know, take that for what
it's worth, right, I mean, from the first practice in
mandatory veteran mini camp back in the spring, watch them
(25:11):
throw for five minutes. Wow, you know, but it is
going to end eventually, and that end is going to
start somewhere, So I think it's something worth.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Pondering.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Oh yeah, is this the start of the steady decline
or they just have a.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
Bad game for whatever reason? Why guys have bad games?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well, hot take, I don't think he could possibly be
as bad as he played on Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I don't think it's possible that that's the case that
he had that big of a drop off from the
guy we saw earlier this year.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
But he has looked old a number of times, but
not in his throws, just in how annoyed he gets
with the receivers, like that's an old guy thing you
should have done the other time.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Come on, you know, get.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
On my lawn.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
That precision and I think, you know, I'm not sure
what went wrong on the DK Metcalf play early in
the game, other than.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
The twenty overthrown.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
They had the best wide receiver on a friggin' safety
and it should have been a touchdown and it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I know that.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
But you know, the more I look at it, it
looks like Metcalf flattened it out a little bit late
in the route and then went back to the end
zone when he didn't have to. Like if he goes
on a straight diagonal, he probably ends up where the
ball is. I don't know if that's because he wasn't
sure where the ball was going to land, if you
had a hard time picking it up, or if he
thought it was not where it was gonna where it
(26:31):
was supposed to be, or the details of that play.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I don't did you were you able to see the
like an all twenty two with the route, like him
flattening it out or anything?
Speaker 11 (26:41):
Yeah, But I mean, was he flattening it because that's
where he thought the ball was.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
He definitely flattened it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Is he supposed to aar saying.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Well, and you know he's got to react to the ball.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Like, yeah, he doesn't run, he didn't read it.
Speaker 11 (26:53):
Well, Rogers doesn't hit every throw exactly where it's supposed
to go.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Spot though, isn't he? I mean he he sort of
alluded to that in the hail Mary he is.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
But he's booting left and then turning and throwing. You know,
what if what if Metcalf said, Oh, that's not going
to be a perfect Daron Rodgers throw. I think it's
going over here, and then he started leaning that one
and then oh no, it is going there, Like there's
some detail in there that I'm not sure. I don't
think it was one hundred percent miss well.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
He overthrew him there, He underthrew Calvin Austin.
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Under throw Austin, the one who Johnny Smith was a
terrible miss, the one to gain well in the flat
before he missed Metcalf at the pylon was a terrible miss.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Kevin Warren dug one out of the ground. He wasn't
He was off all night.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
You can't hit him all, but you also can't miss
four touchdowns, Like you got to hit a couple of
them right, and then it's.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I don't know that John who was a touchdown?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, I think might have been.
Speaker 11 (27:46):
He's at least he's going to be at the five
yard line one on one with a DV. Gotcha if
you hit him on and he can tell him, which
he does all the time.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
But this is the problem is that they started getting
to him, and if you get to him early and
you start hitting him, the night gets real long.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You know, that's not just for forty one year old quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
That was for Brady and his prime. Ye, the only
way you could do it.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
So we'll see what he's got Sunday against the Bengals.
Sante Samuel Junior signed to the practice squad. According to ESPN,
former second round pick forty seventh overall the Chargers in
twenty twenty one, played fifty career games with the Chargers,
but only four last year. Wound up having back surgery,
but a Steelers doctor did the back surgery and a
(28:34):
bunch of teams were lined up to talk to this guy.
He is coming here that with the Darius Slay and
the concussion protocol, that is a timely addition which might.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Turn out to be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh yeah, It's the only thing that gives me pause
is that they're not the most attractive team to land
on right now.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Well, in your perception, that's right, Mike, I said it.
Speaker 11 (29:07):
Maybe maybe to Sante Sampuel, they're a very attractive option.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Maybe that's why he's here.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, his doctor is here. That is true. It would
be easy. Yes, if his back he otomy acts out.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
But yeah, that like the Eagles collected a bunch of
DB's at the trade deadline, it just seems to me
there would be more obvious contenders who could use some
help in the secondary.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
It's the only thing that gives me pause. Teams were
lining up for this guy. Maybe he likes that Ramsey's
floor or the.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Three teams he supposedly visited went to the Giants one
of them.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Minnesota was upset that he came here, recording to Minnesota reporting.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Where do you put them? They're on their way.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
He doesn't necessarily look at it the way anybody else does.
He looks at it the way he does. And there
are there are some player in the leg that want
to play for Mike Tomlin. I know he should be
fired and run out of town on a.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
Rad No, everybody that's on the team wants to play
for them. I mean, all these free agents, it's all
they say when they get here.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's a little tradition here.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I mean there's a brand, no, I know, I get
all that. Yeah, I hope he's great.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Wouldn't it be amazing if we ended up with, you know,
vintage Kyle Duggar, Gibrol Peppers, and Asante.
Speaker 11 (30:23):
Samuel that would be something. Yeah, Wells Dougger a two
mm hmm. Porter is a two or a one? You know,
tweet at two? Yeah, this guy's at two and Ramsey's
a one.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
All right, We've got Merrill coming up here after the break.
We'll get his thoughts on Sunday Night's loss to the Chargers,
and look ahead at Joe Flacco and the Bengals coming
to Akerscher Stadium a Sunday one o'clock kickoff here on DV.
Speaker 3 (30:48):

Meryl Hart's joining us right now. What's on?
Speaker 10 (32:17):
MARYL Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I love the happy energy.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Well nice.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You know, despite the Steelers outcome Sunday Night against the Chargers,
we are optimistic that they are going to turn things around.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
My question to you we were just kicking this around,
was Sunday night a harbinger of things to come for
Aaron Rodgers in terms of performance decline?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Or is that just an outlier?
Speaker 14 (32:39):
No? No, listen, that guy still elite, knows how to
play from the pocket and is elite. Now you know,
now did he underthrow a couple guys and overthrow some
guys or what he usually doesn't? Yeah, but you know
this is a this is a product of the inconsistency up.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You know, like I this is.
Speaker 14 (33:02):
True every year, like I always get asked, like, Who's
gonna win the Super Bowl? It's the easiest question I
have to answer every year. It's the best team. And
then within the best team. I know you laugh at that,
but it's watched at the end of the year, it's
going to be the best team. And then this is
always forgotten when it's it's over, because the MVP is
going to go to the quarterback or a running back
(33:23):
or you know, a perimeter guy, and it's always how
they play closest to the football. Always, Like we used
to Johns and I used to do a matchup show,
a wrap up super Bowl show. We did it for
almost twenty years, and every time we did it, like
we'd watch the Super Bowl after we watched the tape
of it, like, oh my gosh, you could have got
the actually MVP from an offensive lineman or a defensive lineman,
(33:45):
almost every one of them.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
But they were negated or not looked at.
Speaker 14 (33:48):
You know, it's just because of how the game is played,
you know, you miss that and you don't get the
sense of the trenches and we're just not consistent enough there.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
Like I don't care how I mean, what's Aaron Rodgers
twentieth year, twenty first, whatever it is.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
I'm just gonna tell you, if you keep getting hit
and you keep getting pressure quick, you just tend to
speed your game up.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
You rush things, you don't trust things.
Speaker 14 (34:12):
And then there's that you could tell that he did not,
you know, because they were getting quick pressure on him,
you know, and they were collapsing in all areas of
their protection, and he started to rush things, you know,
he started to play a little faster than he normally does,
and he plays fast anyway. But then go on the
back end when they did have time, like the Chargers
were really good at negating any any inside routes. They
(34:37):
were great at the line of scrimmage of eroding and
disrupting our receivers from getting off and getting into the routes.
And there was nothing open quickly when he did have time,
So you know, you ut cred them on the back end,
and what they did with their combination of defense, you know,
I think that's always forgotten. You You just forget their
pros too, And they're really good. And the week before
(34:58):
they did not play like that. The Charge defense they
were actually they were not very impressive, and they cleaned
a lot of things up from that previous week and
played much better against the Steelers.
Speaker 11 (35:09):
Marilyn Honor or your buddy Jaws. I think that next
time somebody asked you who's going to win? The Super Bowl.
Your answer should be the team that has a quarterback
that doesn't throw three interceptions.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
Well, I can tell you this that that makes it.
Speaker 14 (35:24):
I'll tell you another thing that I always look for
before any I start any game. It's like, how many
plays does the offense have versus the defense? Because I
think this is statistically true. The best defense in football
at the end of the year every year, they have
one thing in common, and this is almost consistent.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
They play the fewest amount of plays.
Speaker 10 (35:47):
That is true.
Speaker 14 (35:48):
No best defense in football has ever played the most
that I know of. Now, maybe that has happened, but
that is usually a statistic standard that makes a great
defense because offenses are too you keep them out on
the field, you leave them out on the field, they
will eventually erode. It's usually the offense. And that offense
may not be an offense that scores a lot of points.
(36:09):
But to what we didn't do is we don't sustain
any drives, you know we I think they had like
twenty plays more than we.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Did, and that's a lot.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
That's a big deal. Man.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
They had sixteen minute time of possession differential.
Speaker 10 (36:26):
Right, and stuff like that.
Speaker 14 (36:27):
Now, those things matter, you know, because they control the
temple of the game, and then might you're right, they
won the turnlever battle.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I was just taking a shot at your worst.
Speaker 14 (36:36):
I didn't really expect you to go out of this
kind of Well, well that's not what anytime you take
a shot at him.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I just keep building on it.
Speaker 11 (36:46):
What I did want to ask, and this is at
all sincerity and honesty. They're getting ready to host a
team that's three and six, and I have no idea
if they're going to win or not.
Speaker 14 (36:57):
No, no, no, no you're not because they can put
fifty points on anybody.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
You know.
Speaker 14 (37:02):
Okay, go back to you know, you go back and
look at that last matchup.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
What do we do?
Speaker 14 (37:07):
I think there was two turnovers and then one that
was I mean devastating is we had a touchdown and
it got called back on holding. Okay, so I mean
that is a big No, that's not a turnover, but
that that's close to it, because now you lost points
and I think they only got three out of that,
So they lost four points. You have two turnovers down
in scoring territory. Those are big, and then if you
go look at their passing attack, some of their biggest
(37:30):
plays were their third best wide receiver, like we would
double their two best because we weren't were going to
let those guys win. And even though they had a
big day, two the third guy, because if this is
what they're doing defensively, okay, that third guy is going
to have to beat us. Well that third guy beat them.
So that's how good they are. And then they did
this to everybody. Now it ain't it's just to steel
(37:51):
of defense. Don't don't think it's just a Steeler did
have the Chicago They did it to the Jets.
Speaker 10 (37:55):
They did it to everybody. They just their defense gives.
Speaker 14 (37:59):
Up fifth one if they score fifty, you know, they
score forty eight. They you know, ended up scoring forty nine. Unfortunately,
we just weren't. We didn't scoreless time up the points
that we did score, we got called back when we
weren't positioned to score. We turned the ball over. Well,
you just can't do that against a team that has
that much offensive power.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Merril, how much better are the Bengals with flacout now
than they were when we first encountered them only a
few days into his tenure?
Speaker 14 (38:31):
Yeah, well, gosh, saying he played a really good game
against the first.
Speaker 10 (38:38):
Go around because when I was when I went back
and watch, I.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Was like, oh my gosh, I mean this dude was
on five.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Those were the best throws in a game of his life.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
I swear to God, I swear.
Speaker 14 (38:48):
Okay, now listen, he Joe Flacke I've always felt is underrated, okay,
in all levels of playing the position, because that dude
he gets the ball out quick and mean, he makes
mazing throws.
Speaker 10 (38:58):
You know the guy six' five.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Too that a big deal when you're.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Forget he's a.
Speaker 14 (39:03):
Monster, yeah, yes either a big. Cat and, man he
just stands. There he don't, flinch he didn't. Blink, MAN
i would, SAY i don't think he's played much. BETTER
i mean The chicago, game he was, terrific but he
was no better than when he. Plays if he gets any,
BETTER i don't know what you. Did i'm Just i'm
just praying he just plays in the level he. Played
(39:24):
and on our, offense you just don't turn the ball
over and you you don't get touchdowns called.
Speaker 10 (39:29):
Back you would have.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Won, okay we would have won that.
Speaker 10 (39:31):
Way we should we win that. Way if they don't do,
that so that's how so they can win this. Game
they're better overall. Team you just are not good enough to.
Speaker 14 (39:42):
Offset give them two points and then take away four
of your points just against that.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Offense Meryl hodge brought you By Castle, Rock Hormone health

months with the
Old Ringo and old Paul McCartney in the video like
playing with them in a band.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
And as he sang the song and it synced up
perfectly to them playing it live, and I was just
the entire time I was nerded it out, thinking how
did they They must have clicked that in in their
ears and then fired the video at the exact same time,
and they must have like the drummer must be playing
on a click. Something's got because it was right in
time with the video. It's like you're watching them perform
(00:30):
at live and everyone on the screen is singing it
exactly back to you. And it had a lot of
weird AI stuff in that video, like it reanimated John
and George a bunch of.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Times and stuff like that, which I didn't love.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
It probably feels weird and also amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
That's exactly what it was. It was like, I don't
want to like this slop, but it Prince.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
With a selfie stick, you know, or whatever that Rod
Stewart thing was.
Speaker 2 (01:00):

getting better all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Let him in.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
My Valentine nineteen and eighty five. Maybe I'm amazed. I've
just seen a face falling.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yes, I'm bolding in spite of all the danger.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Which is the first song they ever recorded, Love Me
Do Dance Tonight, Blackbird Here Today Now, and then Lady
Madonna Jet being for the benefit of mister Kite something,
Oh bloody Obla band on the run, get back, let
it be live and let doge may Jude, I've got
(01:52):
a and this is the encore. I've got a feeling.
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band Helter Skelter Golden Slumbers
carry that.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Weight the end. Yeah, that's he is eighty three years old.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
He played bass, guitar or piano on every single song
and sang every single song.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
And then broke the stage down at the end he did,
which was incredible.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yes, I suffer from you know, a little bit of
what do I want to call it, like Beatles' ambivalence.
And I think the reason why is because when I
was coming up in music, everyone compared or everyone basically
said like you like, you gotta like if you don't
like the Beatles, then you have no taste in music.
And I was like, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
And so I just recoiled at it.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
But go going through that list and just hearing some
of those songs, like hearing Paul McCartney sing Blackbird at
the end. I mean, I've heard Blackbird a million times,
but it's still I would like, really have liked to
have seen that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Hearing him do that with his like voice breaking up
as he's doing it because he's eighty three. Johnny Cash
doing her it was I mean, I think I have it.
I think I can play it here, but it's like
off my phone. I don't know if it's gonna work
too well. But he was also suspended in air, which
was kind of crazy.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Wait, what you know like.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Pink does whenever she's.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Waiting, He's flying around the crowd.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Yes, he's flying around the No, No, he's he was
on a platform and it's slowly going up until he's about.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
What's really yeah, looks yeah, I feel like you need
to be clipped in and then under the stage as
it rows up in the sky.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Led monitors are underneath it, there's.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Like blackbirds flying.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Fu. I think it's.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I think he screwed up one thinking a guitar.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I got like not working.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Perfectly, imperfect.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Fun, it's just not player.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, so pretty pretty good.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
It's weird to hear that stadium or that arena that
enraptured and quiet like and respectfully, because yeah, yeah, that's nuts.
Speaker 9 (04:56):
Can I ask you a question that has really nothing
to do with singing or song or anything like that?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Was there a lot of coughing.
Speaker 9 (05:05):
Because my experiences, anybody around that age can't talk so
long without coughing.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Oh, I thought you met in the audience.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
In the audience everywhere, like just in general.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I think he did pretty good. Yeah, the people around no,
they were Yeah, that was bad.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
There was here.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
The worst is so I was telling you that the
average age is like sixty plus. So it took forever
to get in because nobody knew how to use their
phones for their ticketing. And they brought, you know, duffel
bags like they were going to a hockey tournament, and you're,
you know, you're not allowed to do any of that.
You know, you can't bring bags in. And every time
(05:49):
some of these older people needed to get up and
down and go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I mean it was it was like a parade of people.
And then you couldn't get mad because a lot of
times they needed help, you know, prostate issues and so.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
But like it would just be like they're playing a song.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You're like, this is my favorite song, and they would
be like five people walk in front of you like elephants. Slow.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I'll tell you how you do that. Invite my section
of the Steelers game. Believe me, this was coming up,
which was the second song of the night.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It's like.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
I can't believe to cough, he said, he was talking.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
This song is about Flynn coming up, coming up there,
my gird, there it is. Abby's got a news update
for you.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Black gird singing, and there's this hour brought you by
Keystone Basement Systems with Basement Keystone Basements Systems dot Com, mostly.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
Bud and Breezy with eight Shower Today in a high a.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Fifty, a vehicle was hanging out of a parking garage
for hours in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. A UPMC spokesperson said
a driver rear ended a parked vehicle in the South
Achin garage in Oakland, vehicle that was hit was pushed
into a concrete barrier, which fell to the ground.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Police taped off the garage until toad trucks could remove
both vehicles, but a UPMC employee said the crash sounded
like an explosion. Crews spent a couple hours securing the cars,
clearing debris, and then getting the cars towed away.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Now this is the I'm guessing the parking lot at
the professional building, not the hospital.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
I'm trying to think, come south, ache in there.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Yeah, it's all right around the corner though, right my
dermatologist is there.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And that parking lot, oh, it's a nightmare. Is the
worst parking lot in America.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
The one that goes down and it's outside and yeah, as.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're turning left to make the circles going down, there
are cars coming up at you and it's all and
you have to like, if it's your first time in there,
you very easily could get in an accident. And they
have been redoing that garage, So I'm guessing that's the
one it was. It wasn't the hospital side.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I think you're correct, but that it is completely destroyed.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
It's like, oh yeah, almost trying to back out and
then throw it and drive and gund it or something
like that. You got to hit I mean that's pretty hard.
Panels off the anchors.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well, I was probably seeing people who were blocking up
the aisles last night.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I mean the air bags went off, so you have
to hit it really hard.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
And it's in the like that Bermuda triangle of Pittsburgh
where it's like Oakland, shady Side, Bloomfield, Friendship.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Yeah, right East Liberty, Yeah, what are we bomb Boulevard
intersects with the Nexus of the Universe.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But that parking lot, once you get to the bottom,
it's like you could go at that one far side
and what's that tur or that school Winston Thurston whatever.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, it's like it butts up against that and that
looks like the easiest way to make an escape, and
there's always a fence there and you're like, oh, I
could avoid going up that spiral of death parking garage
if they would just open this up. And they don't,
and they never do, and there's always construction in there.
And it amazes me that a hospital makes you do
(09:27):
such a dangerous thing before you enter it.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
It's like it's like, uh, you know, you have to dodge, uh,
you know, girder turts, you know, because it's I mean,
you know, think of who's going to those doctor's offices
most of the time.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
It's not like a J. Foyt. You know, these are
people max Verse.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
It's people that that's that's moles have changed slightly and
it's concerning.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's a big band aid face ratio. Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Ignasia Fernandez, a contestant in the Miss World Chile pageant
who surprised the judges and viewers with a crushing death
metal performance during the semi finals last week, has been
crowned the winner of the entire competition.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
You get to hear her. No, first of all, she's gorgeous.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Like stupid. It's unbelievable how pretty she is.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Stupid gorgeous. Keep that in mind when you hear this.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Let me see what's her name again?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Her name is Ignacia so I g n A c
I A Fernandez.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Take a listen. Oh yeah, look, how happened?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Paula Gartney did this in the encore.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Yeah he's China.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Clear his throat save for the end.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Yeah, Chile.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
This is her band, This is her band, bang.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Ba.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I cannot tell you how many people sent that to
me and wrote, I think you'll like this.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Okay, So she's twenty seven years old.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
The name of her band is called deceas Us and
and she had her guitarist come on stage and that
was basically.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Her talent portion.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
I feel like the metal scene in other countries has
to be insane, Like like I was looking this up
last night, all these like metal festivals and they're all
in like Stockholm and Japan and Sweden.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
But all those Nordic metal bands, like one out of
every five of those bands the lead singer is an
actual murderer.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
It seems like these guys go to jailsiration somewhere.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
They're more like Nordic areas. Yes, yeah, but to your point,
like Mexico and South America, like those countries, the metal
scene is so intense.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah yeah, what is it? Whating is like just I
don't know why really.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
Really works there.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I was in a death metal band in like the
like twenty ten's and I remember like all of the
potential bookings that were out of the country. They're like, no,
we do nothing in the United States, but let me
show you what the numbers are outside of the United States,
especially in South America, and I'm like, what, so, like.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
They were plus you see in crowd like at like
a it'll be like a you know, a Ryan Adams
show and they're like washing and you're like wow, like
nobody has their phones out, Like it seems insane.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
What is it about that part of the country or
that country that goes so crazy?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I don't know, I may be generalizing the Nordic.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
No, there's bands like Mayhem.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Varg Vikernes killed his guitarists, he's in jail for murder.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Well, there's a huge Well who's the.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Serial killer guy?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Though?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Wasn't there one guy who killed like a bunch of people?
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah, there's if you want to there's a there's a
documentary called Until the Light Takes Us that goes through
kind of the death metal scene in which like there
are basically a ton of pagan origins with the church
burnings and things like that, and it was because like
the Catholic Church was building on sacred grounds for their religions,
(13:41):
and there was there was a bunch of intertwined things
about different religions that were also feuding. But you also
have to remember that a lot of these guys that
were getting pulled into this death metal scene were also
derelicts and displaced teenagers from bad homes and then they
found themselves.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
These are my people.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Kind of ingrained into like a spooky, scary like hey
you belong here.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Though I understand when like Nordic people like gravitate towards
metal and death metal in that whole scene. I don't
understand when Mexicans and South Americans who live in you know,
what's nice.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Steel drum to a double kick, Like it's like what
what what? What happened to you that? You know we're
playing reggae's like.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Player from California Bay Area.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's true, that's good, But the Bay Area is not
southern Los Angeles, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
It gets dark up there regardless.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
All of those you know, even like Metallica megat of like,
those are people that essentially they're growing up poor and
they're growing up in bad either family situations, economic situations,
whatever it is, and they're just ripe to be looking
for for a group to fall into.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You fall into the wrong root.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Then it starts to get like how extreme can you
be with this death metal scene? It starts getting too
dangerous extremes and what you're talking about with with Mayhem,
there's bands like literally death and it started to get
to like they're all living together and the next thing
you know, oh, I killed my roommate.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
But now.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Now let's advantageously use this to the band's lore and
now let's eat his brains.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
But now, Abby, we have missed Universe singing death metal
on network television. Like does that take away some of
the of the appeal? So where where are the disaffected
youth going to go now that the beautiful popular girl
has found out about their their their art forms?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Almost not fair?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Yeah, I mean, in.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Some ways, I think that there's still like a huge
barrier to entry there because I think you could see
that and unless you have something in you that gets
attracted to that type of music, it's just a.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Parlor trick for a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I guess that's true.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
You have to want to she stuffed their toe, was like, hey,
that sounds pretty good, Like how did I do that?
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Due to March Simpson impression one day?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Wait, wait a minute, you know I.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Mean best hidden trick ever though?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Right?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Not your talent show performance for a miss World Contestant
and she won.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Well, good for her and she won, which is the
Bea never did.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Anything like that, like the mass killing anything, just a
little circle line, a little more.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
Mind.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
We spent a lot of time in India. We don't
know what happened over there.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
There's a rumor that someone killed Stu Suckcliffe, remember, like
John Lennon. I actually don't know's there's there's this whole
conspiracy theory that John Lennon.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Didn't they think on Strawberry Field that Paul was dead.
That was that was like the original death metal. Yeah,
but he wasn't. Well, they put it in their head
their heads. They they hypnotized that you Paul McCartney last
night paying tribute to George Harrison.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
Playing it on a ukulele that George gave him.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I mean, it was an amazing how they clicked in
it's too let's Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
It was amazing. My only complaint is just too expensive.
It's just way too expensive.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Although with the visuals, the time of the band for
what ended up being like did you say it's three
hour show?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah? Too long?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
It's for that population group on a weeknight, Get out
of here.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I asked the two of you on who the comedy
equivalent is of all of these rock stars who reached
the age of eighty and still perform, Like, is it
only exclusive to music?
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Is it?
Speaker 9 (17:58):
Because yes, I mean there's a couple of guys like
we named Seinfeld, name Cosby would have been.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Comedian that any audience would sit through and have a
good time for three hours.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Oh, that part of it is different.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh okay, I'm just talking about I'm talking about like
commanding an audience, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Maybe Chappelle when he gets to that age.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
On stub Hub to sit in the Nosebleeds last night,
Like I think we paid.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Like not quite that much, but to see Seinfeld that
the ben at them was a couple hunts Like it
was like two hundred and fifty bucks or something like that.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
It was not cheap.
Speaker 9 (18:39):
Here's my take on that though, and it's probably a
hot take. I think it's okay to have that expensive
of a ticket price for a guy of that age.
Everybody's retired, everybody has enough money to go see him
at that point, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
It's the younger bands that are gouging people where I'm like, where.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
The hell do you get off? Yeah, well, yes, a.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Damn beetle or what is the cut of the intermediaries
between the artist and you know?
Speaker 11 (19:11):
Right?
Speaker 6 (19:11):
For all we know Paul McCartney be like, oh dude
for free ticketmasters?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Just like how what five hundred.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Mister Wednesday, Jeff conkol you got anything coming up? I
have a gig that I would like people to come to.
How's that for a promotion beer out in Lawrenceville. It's

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Man.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Thank you for listening and thank you for your time.
My name has been Jeff Conkle. Your powers of promotion
are real. I've always excelled at it.
Speaker 12 (20:13):

Speaker 13 (20:53):
Com from the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptional
service Bridgeville.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Plan isn't about Paul McCartney. He didn't do the reck
of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I thought opportunity, missed opportunity there.
But hopefully the Steelers aren't sinking to the bottom here herew.
Speaker 11 (21:11):
Says an acoustic version of that he cut a long
time ago. He's going to release that when he releases nuts,
does he really?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I mean, I can see him doing that.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's weird because like Dylan loves Gordon Lightfoot absolutely loves him.
He inducted him into the Singer Songwriter Hall of Fame
or something like that, and I don't think people think
of him that way. But people certainly think of Paul
McCartney in that regard.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
As a Hall of Famer. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, first ballot.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Now one of the Mike Tomlin is being considered as
a first ballot Hall of Famer as a coach, Mike.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
I don't have a first ballot. You know, you win
a super Bowl. He's in the top ten all time wins.
He'll probably get there.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
However, I keep seeing scenarios or people running him out
of town on a rail right now or.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
You know, are you referencing the uh Mike Greenberg? He
should be the coach of the Giants. Yes, it's a
pretty comfortable rail.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Oh to the Giants? Is it for more money? As
the New York media?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
But he likes it.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
On Payday, well, I saw people saying Belichick is going
to go back to the Giants.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That would be awesome because a lot of history there.
Jordan Jordan Hudson would be like the Bell of the ball.
She would be in the New York on the Hudson
every day. Yes, anyways, coach Tom, Yeah, I was trying
to make the segway earlier. Uh you know, unsuccessful. Weed
(22:42):
we did. We hogged this break already.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
We are our own.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Hey, I was at the I've got an excuse. I
was up late watching a Beatle as you should have been.
I left early and all the songs I love the
most were played after I left because I had to
get some sleep. We had Sunday night. I want to sleep,
while Monday night.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You drive you it's like you're sitting there. I can't.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I have seen more concerts than anybody you know, I know,
but not like that one.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
I know. But also think about how hard it was
to get into the venue. He's probably in his brain going,
I'm not getting home until two in the morning.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And that was all I was doing the entire time.
I like, I'm looking if I leave now. I got
at ten, then walk to my car.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
See, that's one of the reasons I didn't go is
because I wouldn't have been able to do that, and
I wouldn't have been able to not go to shales
in properly pregame beforehand. I know I would not have
been able to. I can't sit there. Oh I should
leave now it's quarter I got one.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Beer for ceremonial purposes and zipped it and watch the show.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
You know, but I was thinking about that though.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I didn't want to be like tanked, because the last
time I was there was for Billy Strings on Saturday night.
I was bombed, you know, like that sweet spot you
don't get but you get happy. No, I was the
happiest guy in the planet. Yeah, very happy.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
I try to run up the score in the first quarter,
and then I take my foot off the gas A
great way to the second half, Yeah, to great the
air out of the ball.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, I do that for Steelers games, pregame hard, have
a couple in the first half.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
And then just relax.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Well, Aaron Rodgers didn't start strong Sunday. He didn't finish
well either, and the in between kind of suck too.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I than that.
Speaker 11 (24:32):
Mike Tomlin isn't concerned about this being the possible beginning
of a downward trend for his quarterback, who is going
to turn forty two on December second.
Speaker 13 (24:44):
I'm not gonna, you know, talk it up to an
off night, but there are no long term concerns.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
They emphasized that a couple of times yesterday. I hadn't
seen any hint of Rogers being a quote unquote old
quarterback to Sunday. So, you know, take that for what
it's worth, right, I mean, from the first practice in
mandatory veteran mini camp back in the spring, watch them
(25:11):
throw for five minutes. Wow, you know, but it is
going to end eventually, and that end is going to
start somewhere, So I think it's something worth.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Pondering.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Oh yeah, is this the start of the steady decline
or they just have a.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
Bad game for whatever reason? Why guys have bad games?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well, hot take, I don't think he could possibly be
as bad as he played on Sunday night.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I don't think it's possible that that's the case that
he had that big of a drop off from the
guy we saw earlier this year.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
But he has looked old a number of times, but
not in his throws, just in how annoyed he gets
with the receivers, like that's an old guy thing you
should have done the other time.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Come on, you know, get.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
On my lawn.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
That precision and I think, you know, I'm not sure
what went wrong on the DK Metcalf play early in
the game, other than.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
The twenty overthrown.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
They had the best wide receiver on a friggin' safety
and it should have been a touchdown and it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I know that.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
But you know, the more I look at it, it
looks like Metcalf flattened it out a little bit late
in the route and then went back to the end
zone when he didn't have to. Like if he goes
on a straight diagonal, he probably ends up where the
ball is. I don't know if that's because he wasn't
sure where the ball was going to land, if you
had a hard time picking it up, or if he
thought it was not where it was gonna where it
(26:31):
was supposed to be, or the details of that play.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I don't did you were you able to see the
like an all twenty two with the route, like him
flattening it out or anything?
Speaker 11 (26:41):
Yeah, But I mean, was he flattening it because that's
where he thought the ball was.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
He definitely flattened it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Is he supposed to aar saying.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Well, and you know he's got to react to the ball.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Like, yeah, he doesn't run, he didn't read it.
Speaker 11 (26:53):
Well, Rogers doesn't hit every throw exactly where it's supposed
to go.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Spot though, isn't he? I mean he he sort of
alluded to that in the hail Mary he is.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
But he's booting left and then turning and throwing. You know,
what if what if Metcalf said, Oh, that's not going
to be a perfect Daron Rodgers throw. I think it's
going over here, and then he started leaning that one
and then oh no, it is going there, Like there's
some detail in there that I'm not sure. I don't
think it was one hundred percent miss well.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
He overthrew him there, He underthrew Calvin Austin.
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Under throw Austin, the one who Johnny Smith was a
terrible miss, the one to gain well in the flat
before he missed Metcalf at the pylon was a terrible miss.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Kevin Warren dug one out of the ground. He wasn't
He was off all night.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
You can't hit him all, but you also can't miss
four touchdowns, Like you got to hit a couple of
them right, and then it's.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I don't know that John who was a touchdown?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, I think might have been.
Speaker 11 (27:46):
He's at least he's going to be at the five
yard line one on one with a DV. Gotcha if
you hit him on and he can tell him, which
he does all the time.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
But this is the problem is that they started getting
to him, and if you get to him early and
you start hitting him, the night gets real long.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You know, that's not just for forty one year old quarterbacks.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
That was for Brady and his prime. Ye, the only
way you could do it.
Speaker 11 (28:12):
So we'll see what he's got Sunday against the Bengals.
Sante Samuel Junior signed to the practice squad. According to ESPN,
former second round pick forty seventh overall the Chargers in
twenty twenty one, played fifty career games with the Chargers,
but only four last year. Wound up having back surgery,
but a Steelers doctor did the back surgery and a
(28:34):
bunch of teams were lined up to talk to this guy.
He is coming here that with the Darius Slay and
the concussion protocol, that is a timely addition which might.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Turn out to be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh yeah, It's the only thing that gives me pause
is that they're not the most attractive team to land
on right now.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Well, in your perception, that's right, Mike, I said it.
Speaker 11 (29:07):
Maybe maybe to Sante Sampuel, they're a very attractive option.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Maybe that's why he's here.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, his doctor is here. That is true. It would
be easy. Yes, if his back he otomy acts out.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
But yeah, that like the Eagles collected a bunch of
DB's at the trade deadline, it just seems to me
there would be more obvious contenders who could use some
help in the secondary.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
It's the only thing that gives me pause. Teams were
lining up for this guy. Maybe he likes that Ramsey's
floor or the.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Three teams he supposedly visited went to the Giants one
of them.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Minnesota was upset that he came here, recording to Minnesota reporting.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Where do you put them? They're on their way.
Speaker 11 (29:53):
He doesn't necessarily look at it the way anybody else does.
He looks at it the way he does. And there
are there are some player in the leg that want
to play for Mike Tomlin. I know he should be
fired and run out of town on a.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
Rad No, everybody that's on the team wants to play
for them. I mean, all these free agents, it's all
they say when they get here.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's a little tradition here.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I mean there's a brand, no, I know, I get
all that. Yeah, I hope he's great.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Wouldn't it be amazing if we ended up with, you know,
vintage Kyle Duggar, Gibrol Peppers, and Asante.
Speaker 11 (30:23):
Samuel that would be something. Yeah, Wells Dougger a two
mm hmm. Porter is a two or a one? You know,
tweet at two? Yeah, this guy's at two and Ramsey's
a one.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
All right, We've got Merrill coming up here after the break.
We'll get his thoughts on Sunday Night's loss to the Chargers,
and look ahead at Joe Flacco and the Bengals coming
to Akerscher Stadium a Sunday one o'clock kickoff here on DV.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
But first, Mike Randall.
Speaker 11 (30:49):

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Meryl Hart's joining us right now. What's on?
Speaker 10 (32:17):
MARYL Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I love the happy energy.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Well nice.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You know, despite the Steelers outcome Sunday Night against the Chargers,
we are optimistic that they are going to turn things around.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
My question to you we were just kicking this around,
was Sunday night a harbinger of things to come for
Aaron Rodgers in terms of performance decline?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Or is that just an outlier?
Speaker 14 (32:39):
No? No, listen, that guy still elite, knows how to
play from the pocket and is elite. Now you know,
now did he underthrow a couple guys and overthrow some
guys or what he usually doesn't? Yeah, but you know
this is a this is a product of the inconsistency up.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
You know, like I this is.
Speaker 14 (33:02):
True every year, like I always get asked, like, Who's
gonna win the Super Bowl? It's the easiest question I
have to answer every year. It's the best team. And
then within the best team. I know you laugh at that,
but it's watched at the end of the year, it's
going to be the best team. And then this is
always forgotten when it's it's over, because the MVP is
going to go to the quarterback or a running back
(33:23):
or you know, a perimeter guy, and it's always how
they play closest to the football. Always, Like we used
to Johns and I used to do a matchup show,
a wrap up super Bowl show. We did it for
almost twenty years, and every time we did it, like
we'd watch the Super Bowl after we watched the tape
of it, like, oh my gosh, you could have got
the actually MVP from an offensive lineman or a defensive lineman,
(33:45):
almost every one of them.
Speaker 10 (33:46):
But they were negated or not looked at.
Speaker 14 (33:48):
You know, it's just because of how the game is played,
you know, you miss that and you don't get the
sense of the trenches and we're just not consistent enough there.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
Like I don't care how I mean, what's Aaron Rodgers
twentieth year, twenty first, whatever it is.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
I'm just gonna tell you, if you keep getting hit
and you keep getting pressure quick, you just tend to
speed your game up.
Speaker 10 (34:09):
You rush things, you don't trust things.
Speaker 14 (34:12):
And then there's that you could tell that he did not,
you know, because they were getting quick pressure on him,
you know, and they were collapsing in all areas of
their protection, and he started to rush things, you know,
he started to play a little faster than he normally does,
and he plays fast anyway. But then go on the
back end when they did have time, like the Chargers
were really good at negating any any inside routes. They
(34:37):
were great at the line of scrimmage of eroding and
disrupting our receivers from getting off and getting into the routes.
And there was nothing open quickly when he did have time,
So you know, you ut cred them on the back end,
and what they did with their combination of defense, you know,
I think that's always forgotten. You You just forget their
pros too, And they're really good. And the week before
(34:58):
they did not play like that. The Charge defense they
were actually they were not very impressive, and they cleaned
a lot of things up from that previous week and
played much better against the Steelers.
Speaker 11 (35:09):
Marilyn Honor or your buddy Jaws. I think that next
time somebody asked you who's going to win? The Super Bowl.
Your answer should be the team that has a quarterback
that doesn't throw three interceptions.
Speaker 10 (35:21):
Well, I can tell you this that that makes it.
Speaker 14 (35:24):
I'll tell you another thing that I always look for
before any I start any game. It's like, how many
plays does the offense have versus the defense? Because I
think this is statistically true. The best defense in football
at the end of the year every year, they have
one thing in common, and this is almost consistent.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
They play the fewest amount of plays.
Speaker 10 (35:47):
That is true.
Speaker 14 (35:48):
No best defense in football has ever played the most
that I know of. Now, maybe that has happened, but
that is usually a statistic standard that makes a great
defense because offenses are too you keep them out on
the field, you leave them out on the field, they
will eventually erode. It's usually the offense. And that offense
may not be an offense that scores a lot of points.
(36:09):
But to what we didn't do is we don't sustain
any drives, you know we I think they had like
twenty plays more than we.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Did, and that's a lot.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
That's a big deal. Man.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
They had sixteen minute time of possession differential.
Speaker 10 (36:26):
Right, and stuff like that.
Speaker 14 (36:27):
Now, those things matter, you know, because they control the
temple of the game, and then might you're right, they
won the turnlever battle.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I was just taking a shot at your worst.
Speaker 14 (36:36):
I didn't really expect you to go out of this
kind of Well, well that's not what anytime you take
a shot at him.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I just keep building on it.
Speaker 11 (36:46):
What I did want to ask, and this is at
all sincerity and honesty. They're getting ready to host a
team that's three and six, and I have no idea
if they're going to win or not.
Speaker 14 (36:57):
No, no, no, no you're not because they can put
fifty points on anybody.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
You know.
Speaker 14 (37:02):
Okay, go back to you know, you go back and
look at that last matchup.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
What do we do?
Speaker 14 (37:07):
I think there was two turnovers and then one that
was I mean devastating is we had a touchdown and
it got called back on holding. Okay, so I mean
that is a big No, that's not a turnover, but
that that's close to it, because now you lost points
and I think they only got three out of that,
So they lost four points. You have two turnovers down
in scoring territory. Those are big, and then if you
go look at their passing attack, some of their biggest
(37:30):
plays were their third best wide receiver, like we would
double their two best because we weren't were going to
let those guys win. And even though they had a
big day, two the third guy, because if this is
what they're doing defensively, okay, that third guy is going
to have to beat us. Well that third guy beat them.
So that's how good they are. And then they did
this to everybody. Now it ain't it's just to steel
(37:51):
of defense. Don't don't think it's just a Steeler did
have the Chicago They did it to the Jets.
Speaker 10 (37:55):
They did it to everybody. They just their defense gives.
Speaker 14 (37:59):
Up fifth one if they score fifty, you know, they
score forty eight. They you know, ended up scoring forty nine. Unfortunately,
we just weren't. We didn't scoreless time up the points
that we did score, we got called back when we
weren't positioned to score. We turned the ball over. Well,
you just can't do that against a team that has
that much offensive power.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Merril, how much better are the Bengals with flacout now
than they were when we first encountered them only a
few days into his tenure?
Speaker 14 (38:31):
Yeah, well, gosh, saying he played a really good game
against the first.
Speaker 10 (38:38):
Go around because when I was when I went back
and watch, I.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Was like, oh my gosh, I mean this dude was
on five.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Those were the best throws in a game of his life.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
I swear to God, I swear.
Speaker 14 (38:48):
Okay, now listen, he Joe Flacke I've always felt is underrated, okay,
in all levels of playing the position, because that dude
he gets the ball out quick and mean, he makes
mazing throws.
Speaker 10 (38:58):
You know the guy six' five.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Too that a big deal when you're.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Forget he's a.
Speaker 14 (39:03):
Monster, yeah, yes either a big. Cat and, man he
just stands. There he don't, flinch he didn't. Blink, MAN
i would, SAY i don't think he's played much. BETTER
i mean The chicago, game he was, terrific but he
was no better than when he. Plays if he gets any,
BETTER i don't know what you. Did i'm Just i'm
just praying he just plays in the level he. Played
(39:24):
and on our, offense you just don't turn the ball
over and you you don't get touchdowns called.
Speaker 10 (39:29):
Back you would have.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Won, okay we would have won that.
Speaker 10 (39:31):
Way we should we win that. Way if they don't do,
that so that's how so they can win this. Game
they're better overall. Team you just are not good enough to.
Speaker 14 (39:42):
Offset give them two points and then take away four
of your points just against that.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
