Miller joining us right now on the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Randy, good morning, How are you man?
Speaker 6 (00:36):
I'm great, It's great to be on DVE. I'm a native. Jeannette,
the guy who's station, Well, it's.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Been a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We haven't spoken in a while, but you know, I
know you and Pursuit of have been friends for a
long time. But you and I have crossed paths a
couple of times, and it's definitely good to talk to
you again. This story is making a lot of waves
here in Pittsburgh. There's some some people who are saying, oh,
oh well, Paul Skens denied this report, but I don't
hear a denial in what he said. What did you
(01:05):
make of Paul Sken's comments about your story about him
wanting to be traded to the Yankees and vocalizing that
to teammates.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
I wasn't surprised. I haven't been a Yankee writer. I
covered the Phillies for seventeen years and this is my
coming up, my eleventh of the Yankees. And over the
years I heard a lot of stories from people would
have been in the organization, not good stories, and a
lot of people have been unhappy there. And I did
(01:37):
a big story last year on Domingo Herman and how
that the Pirates signed him after he'd been through a
lot of issues and the parts didn't do their due diligence,
and I kind of had pretty interesting phone conversation with
GM after that. It doesn't surprise me then I help players.
Are a lot of friends in the game and people
(01:59):
I talked to, and when I heard this story, I
wasn't surprised, but it wasn't from what It wasn't just schemes.
I heard that a lot of people when they're there.
It's when you're the miners, get to the big leagues,
they can develop you and then get out of there
because the owner just isn't going to spend money and
schemes wants to win. I'm in Las Vegas right now
(02:19):
for the GM meetings, and I waited out and spoke
to the Pirates GM the other day by myself for
a little bit, and I told him what I'd heard,
and he's just he wasn't surprised. He knows. He told
me that every one of our conversation schemes, I want
to win. I want to win. He's been the best
priorate probably since Barry Bonds and Deans is doing it
(02:41):
the right way. And it's sad to me. I grew
up a big Pirate fan, kept score probably one hundred
and twenty or thirty games a year in the stargul
Park or Candelira era, and it's sad what they become.
It's just I hope that the owner sells the team
at some point. There's going to be a lockout next
year that might we might even lose the entire twenty
(03:04):
twenty seventh season. I know the owners want to get
a floor to the get a cap of the floor,
and maybe that's the best thing that could happen to
Pittsburgh because it's it's a shame and look, everyone knows
that there's no chance the pirates are going to keep
Paul Skins for the long run. There's just no shots
he's going to get probably five hundred million at some point.
(03:25):
And also, by the way, there's before I even talk
to a pirate about this, and it was brought up
to me. It wasn't something high asked. It was brought
up to me, and it was I know in my
story it was a couple of comments, but it was
a ten minute conversation about the pirates. But I've heard
from being out in the New York area, I have
(03:48):
heard from people that that schemes. His girlfriend has told
people that he's going to be a Yankee. I heard
that second hand. I didn't write it because I heard
it secondhand.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
But for an apartment in Hormone, I thought.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
I think she tried to buy Babe Russel the Little
House and it got denied at one point. So after
that happened, I've heard stories who who knows. I just
know that at one point last year someone had told
me that it's keen to talk about wanting to be
an angel, and I mentioned the story about how he
got Mike Trout's autograph from before. I've heard people have
(04:25):
said to him why would you want to be an angel?
Look what they've done to Mike trouts career. Look what
they've done to the six years of a Tawny's career.
You're going to go there and beat your hometown team
and you're never going to win. And now I'm hearing
I'm hearing the Yankees, and I'm not hearing that anything's
going to happen. Now. I think he's can be apart
for a couple more years. But I do know that
(04:48):
from talking to people with the Yankees that they have
heard the same thing. They've they've kind of laughed off, like, hey,
you know, you hear this stuff all the time. Everybody
wants to come here. Let's let's see what happens down
the road. You know she's long way, now see what
happens down the road. So the Yankees have heard this.
They've heard the stuff too, not from me, they've heard
(05:08):
it from other people.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
The Skis agent must be like, shut up, because you're
killing us.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You know, I have a funny story on you know,
I I ripped the Pirates because I love the old
pirates and it's sad what become. But this is this
is a story that kind of illustrates what the pirates
are and you wonder why it is Nutting like this.
You know, if he's going to be an owner, why
not put some money into the team. Well, a few
(05:38):
years ago, a long time friend of mine passed away,
and I'm at the dinner after the funeral and I'm
sitting next to his my friend's cousin, and her husband
was there, and her husband was a lot older, and
we're talking about my job, and her husband says, Hey,
I want to let you know I am friends with
(05:58):
Nutting's father, who I think passed away maybe a couple
years ago. And he says, every year, there's a few
of us that make this trip to Colorado, and it's
a bunch of rich people to go and have these
dinners and go hang out for several days. He goes,
what's crazy is worth these dinners? And they are very
expensive dinners. And at the end of dinner, Nothing's dad
(06:21):
pulls out of his jacket instant coffee and says, I
ain't paying twenty dollars for the damn coffee. So here's
a guy that has close to a billion dollars that
was bringing his own instant coffee. So when you say
you know, the apple doesn't fall apart from the tree.
Like it's just when you hear that, it's just like,
oh god, you know, it's it's sad to me. But look,
(06:43):
there's no chance they're keeping Schemes for the long run.
I think this year Mitch Keller is going to make
sixteen point four million. If they don't trade him, that'll
be the richest contract in pirate history. I hear that
he's available for a trade. Reynolds is available for a trade.
He's making money. But when it comes time for Schemes
to get into his fifth and sixth year, I think
(07:05):
the last year he might make might set a record
for arbitration eligible numbers, which might be thirty thirty five.
I think so Too had the record two years ago,
and the Yankees maybe thirty one million. By then, Schemes
can get thirty five million own the open market. He's
gonna get fifty million dollars a year. And it's just
it's just he's never he has no shots of staying.
So at some point the pirates are gonna have to
(07:27):
trade him. When I thought to the GM two days ago,
he said, the way to keep him the longest is
to is to win. Well, keep him the longest. What
does that mean, keep him for five years instead of four,
six years instead of five. That's that's the best case.
The best case scenario I believe is that is that
he gets to where Garret Cole was. You know, I
(07:50):
talked to Garrett Cole a lot who who still loves
Pittsburgh and still upset that the Pirates didn't keep him
for six years. And they try to win because a
lot of people that I talked to that come through
your organization, they just love the city. They love the fans.
They know what it was like in the seventies when
they won, when the Pirates were as popular as as
(08:13):
the Steelers, more popular than the Penguins. And now what
there's a couple of generations of fans that know nothing
but losing. And the Schemes is already the best right
handed in baseball. He s google the Cy Young winner
for Detroit are the best two pitchers in baseball, and
it's sad that he has no shot in making the playoffs.
(08:34):
What are the Pirates gonna do this year? At the
GM says, Oh, we're gonna spend a little more money.
What's that mean? They've got to got to get one back.
That's a five million dollar player. That's not gonna change anything.
They're gonna lose. They're gonna lose eighty five ninety games
for Storregan next year. It's just not gonna change.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
And that's Randy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
That's your perception of how baseball looks at the Pirates.
They are not a serious player.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
Of course, they're not a serious player. And the thing
is is that we always hear the small market. Well,
look at Milwaukee, Milwaukee. I've been to Milwaukee. I've been
there with you. The night that the Mummy briss uh
when sister his sister going to fight in the bar.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You got to do a different interview about that one.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
He's got a twin, chubby brister.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I remember there was like the evil twin and the
good winning remembers had got in a fight and she
was being drug away and she heard it Bra. She's serious.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Yeah, yeah, Mike. Mike was probably seventeen beers in and doesn't.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Remember the fire engine red in the studio.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You're welcome, love.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
The barg people are not in the industry. You're not
taking them seriously. Is the suspicions.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
It's how can they They've had what four winning seasons
since Barry Bonds left and and it's I think of
in the seventies when I remember being excited a kid
when there was top Pete Rose might come to the
come to the Pirates. Gallbrook was going to give them
some horses. Even it's gonna come. And now it's just
it's a it's a joke. And they got a beautiful ballpark.
(10:28):
People come from all over the nation to go see
that ballpark, and they just they just don't win. Well,
why can Milwaukee win? Why why can Tampa win? Look
at Tampa. I go to Tampa all the time. The
Yankees play there twice a year. I'm there for spring training.
They get ten thousand people at the games. And yet
they've been in the playoffs and they're in the Al East.
(10:50):
They beat out the Yankees for division titles, beat them
in the playoffs. How can they win? Because they put
a lot of money into their forum system, they do
things right. Even with the Pirates. I hear stories that
their farm system isn't the greatest in certain areas, the
scouts aren't the greatest in certain areas, and that's where
a lot of these other teams that at least they
(11:12):
put the money in developing players, they can't keep them.
I know, I hear a lot of times in spring
training when you get there, there's eighty people in the
in the clubhouse, and there's a lot of guys that
are six year freezing minor league signings that are going
to go to trip Away and all the ones that
play for the Pirates. I go up to them and
(11:32):
shout with them, what was your time like in the organization?
And this has been going for years. You just you
don't hear good stories.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
You know.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
The one guy who loves Pittsburgh was Bedinark I I uh,
it's it's fun getting to know him a little bit.
He just came at the end of the year. But
the guy, the guy loves Pittsburgh goes and he goes
in tailgates with the Steeler games of fans and and
Yankee fans are just seeing what kind of guy he's
(12:02):
a He's a true Pittsburgher who's a boundary of guy.
And I think the Yankee fans are gonna really go
to love him. I don't think any of them understand
the uh uh his his entrance song You Steelers. He
still still does he does renegade. Yeah, yeah, And I
was pretty fired enough. I taped the first time and
(12:22):
sent to some of my friends dot home. They were
they were excited about it, and nobody the Yankee fans
don't understand. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Randy Miller from uh in New Jersey dot com the
the author of the article yesterday about Paul Skeen's apparently
telling a teammate that he wanted to be traded to
the Yankees.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
I mean it was this Tony soprano in that driveway
scene where he picked up.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yeah, of course he was. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But this to me, you know, we talked about this earlier.
This to me is the least surprising story in the world.
You know, guy who's in jail, who committed no crime
wants to escape, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
H I do believe that Skemes knows he's there for
a couple more years, and I believe he wants to
win there.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
I have friends in Louisiana that followed him when he
was at LSU. From all counts, I hear he's a
pretty good guy people, pirate reporters I talked to. I
hear he's a pretty stand up guy, but he knows.
He knows he's not going to be a long term pirate. Uh,
(13:28):
it's it's it's obvious. I know that he's I know
people that talked to him about it. Then look, he's
just not going to come out and say, yes, I
want to I want to go to the Yankees. I
never heard anything about the Yankees. I'd been telling people
last year. I hear he wants to go to the Angels,
and people like, what, why would he go there? That's
what someone told me that that talked to him. And
(13:49):
then now, uh, when I brought that up to a
remember the Pirates, no, no, no, no, no, it's it's the Yankees.
And then I said, okay, well that makes sense. I've
heard some stuff about I don't know his girlfriend. It's
out there to where it's got back to the Yankees.
I know it's got back to the Yankees that they've
(14:09):
heard it and they've kind of laughed it off. But
you hear all the time people want to play for this.
A lot of times, the agents are always throw the
Yankees and everything to drive up the price that I
still believe that he'll be a pirate for at least
two more years, and then I think when they realize
(14:31):
that he's not going to sign long term, at that
point he will move on. I know Garret Cole was
interested in being a pirate a long time. Long term heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's what's heartbreaking, because these guys actually do want to
stay here, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
And Bob Nutting loved it there. He still does.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
We talked about Pittsburgh all the time. I pulls a
great guy to be around. He could be the best
pitching coach in baseball, but he's never going to do
it because he's made so much money. But a great guy.
And we talked about the spurg a lot and he look.
He pitched in All Star Games, pitched in a World
Series with the Yankees. Some of his best moments of
his life were the playoff games in Pittsburgh and winning
(15:11):
in Pittsburgh when nobody thought to day crew whoever winning
They had that three year stretch where where they were
in with the wild Card series and they won one
game where the fans were all over the Reds pitcher
and that was a great moment in Pittsburgh and it
was I remember watching that game on TV and it's
like Wow, this reminds me of what it was like
for a kid. And now it's a whole generation of
(15:31):
fans that are seeing this for the first time. And cool, fat,
let's build it. Let's add on to the team and
at least keep me through six years. And look, he
ended up going getting trade with Houston, he gets another
World Series, goes the World Series there, he goes a
World Series the Yankees. He gets this big contract, but
he's he still wishes that he would have had another
(15:53):
run with the Pirates to see if they would have
added on that last year instead of getting rid of him,
they would have added on. He thought they were close.
And when you look at how close Milwaukee has been
over the years, I think those those Pirate teams were
as good as any of these Milwaukee teams. You look
at the same thing with the Pampa Tines. So a
small market team, if you do it right, you can
(16:14):
you can get in there and have a little two
or three year run like the Pirates had a few
years ago. But look, everybody knows that they're not they're
not spending like they should, right, They're keeping their luxury
tax money, and uh, it's it's disgraceful. Because there's a
lot of great baseball fans of Pittsburgh. I know because
my friends are Pirate fans. My dad's a Pirate fan,
(16:36):
my cousin's a big Pirates fan. And you see their
Facebook posts and and they're still living and dying. I
have a friend in Louisiana who watches every freaking, every
freaking game, and it's like they're they're they're so upset. Uh.
One drove the drove the Cooperstown for Parker from Louisiana
to to Cooperstown. Parker's can all they introduction. Then then
two weeks later drove from Louisiana to Pittsburgh to go
(16:58):
see l Over going to Pirates all fans. So there's
still huge Pirate fans out there, living in the past,
hoping that they live long enough. And but look, there's
a lot of Red Sox fans that never thought you're
one of them, right, Randy, Yeah, you probably never thought.
I think I got your tickets the one year.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, and uh and.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I and you never thought you'd never see the Red
Sox win the World Series and I got to go.
And then now the Cubs have won, so things can change.
I just wonder when we heard rumors years ago about Cuban,
if Cuban would have bought the team, how it would
be different. But I still believe the silver lining here
(17:35):
for for the Pirate fans is and it's a really
good thing that the Dodgers won the Real Series this
year because from what I hear is that that most
of the owners in baseball are united against the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are bringing in so many millions of dollars
in Japanese advertising that basically the the O Tawny contract
(17:59):
was paid off in a couple of years. That's right
I hear, And now I know a lot of the owners,
including Steinbrunner for the Yankees, who has many billions, that
they're like, we have to stop this. We're not gonna
be able to even we can't compete with the Dodgers
in their spending. They're paying so much in luxury tax,
but it doesn't matter because the advertising money that they're
bringing in from Japan is offsetting this and they're still
(18:20):
making money, a big money. So from talking to players,
they're insisting, over our dead body or we ever going
to have our salary cap, and the owners are saying, well,
we're getting a salary cap. So there's going to be
a might be the worst work stoppage in sports history,
as bad as the hockey. But I believe the way
it's going to get solved is I believe there's going
(18:42):
to be a cap. I believe it'll be a high cap,
so the Yankees in Dodgers and Mets will still be
able to spend a little more than everybody else. But
I believe it's going to force the Pirates, the Marlins,
the Rays, the Brewers, the small market teams to spend
a lot more. And that point nothing is going to
either have to spend or sell the team. And uh
so I think that'll be a good thing for Parts,
(19:03):
that that we that they get a cap in here
a couple of years down the road, and that give
him a chance to force the parts to spend and and
get a chance to win, because it's it's it's a
shame what's going on here.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Certainly, way way, way too long.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Randy Miller, thank you so much. We really appreciate your

of years.

kind of split the work. Yeah, and and we were
on a Steeler beat for maybe three years. Yeah, there's
a few of those Bubby Risters.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Sister got in a fight at the Green Bay game.
Speaker 5 (19:56):

it seems so real.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I was like, I got to take care of that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Do you ever have that dream, Like when you have
a dream you get up and think that that's a
thing that happened for just like a second or two.
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Absolutely, yeah. I think they called it lucid dreaming.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Now I wake up and I'm like, thank god, MHI,
thank you, just as.
Speaker 2 (21:42):

But he's just doing He still hasn't slowed down, dude,
he still has not slowed down.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
He's supposed to be resting, resting, and he is not resting.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
He's doing a national press junker.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
He wanted to come on Tuesday because he had to
do press on Tuesday, and he wanted to do eight
o'clock our time, which would have been five o'clock his time,
which would have meant he would have to get up
around you know, four forty am. And ambled down to
his computer, turn it on, grab a coffee, and I
was like no.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
He's like what you mean, and I'm like, no, you can't.
You gotta sleep a little bit, dude.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
You just had a fib you almost died at Alleghany
General like, no, slow down.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
He's like, I'm gonna be up anyways.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I'm like no, nope.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It's it's insane to me.
Speaker 11 (22:39):
The morning he was here and Bartnick was here, was
asking him what time is show started?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, he wanted to go. It was the day after
he got out of the hospital. He wanted to go
to the Improv and do a set.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
Thank god for Patty, his wife at least keeps a
leash on him. Yes, but it's there's this video that
was going y i roll online. There was this little
like pug dog that kept diving in this hole, and
the owner would go in and like work so hard
to get this dog out of the hole, and then
she would come out of the hole, and then the
dog would go right back.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
In the hole. That's Billy. Yes, he can't. He can't
stop himself. I don't you know.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
By the way, happy birthday to our buddy Joe Bartneck
yesterday was his birthday.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Joey b and Billy have that same thing. I do
not have that.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
When it's like you very clearly should have a doctor
look at something or at least assess a health situation,
They're like, I'm fine, he walked off a heart attack.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Bartnick, did I know?
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Like that's not a joke, that's real. I know he
is a throwback human being.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
They both are.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
They both have like such deep Pittsburgh DNA that there
is no part of them that thinks that they deserve that,
like actually trying to make sure they're healthy is a weakness.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I'd like to die with my pride. Yes, like my
father and his father.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, I might be dying unnecessarily, but at least I
didn't go to the doctor.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Is that a Pittsburgh thing or is that a Bravado thing?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, definitely it's them there a circle, yeah, you know.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
Yeah, but I find that sometimes my hypochondria is in
effect on things that are completely unnecessary. And then when
I am actually in medical distress, I am as calm
as can be and I am not taking it seriously
at all.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean, I I've kind of got a handle on
my hypochondria after like, I'm much better with it now,
mostly because I don't care. It's like I had a
good run, but I'm ready to go. That's part of it.
It's like, yeah, this movie's gone on along.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But the one thing that I would not do is
be like, oh is my heart rate one hundred and
seventy eight right now? Resting heart rate. I'll fly to
California and get a checked out tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And that's what Billy wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
I don't know that I've ever had that high of
a heart rate.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I can see.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Saying, oh god, it sounds so inconvenient.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Though the way today, Oh like, oh, I want to
be home so bad?
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, yeah, you just want to get home.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And then he's like, I watch the pit I don't
want to go to that hospital.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, but I get doctor Wiley.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
I think even when I've gotten a heart rate up,
but like one fifty, I don't know how he was
like walking around because when I you.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Know, it's like you get dizzy.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Like I've had workouts where you're doing like some kind
of CrossFit thing where you're doing burpies or something to
that effect. Like I can't hear out of one ear.
I'm sweating like you're vision.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
That's me.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
There is a marker that you know, when you're doing cardio,
it'll tell you, well, if you're on any kind of
cardio machine.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Here's your heart rate.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Don't go above this. You know, there's a reason they
do that.
Speaker 10 (26:13):
My sister used to take me to this training. She
did this Mooe Thai training in Penn Hills. Shout out
to anybody that ever went to Willy's basement.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
All right, this guy was.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
The name of it, or was it a guy named
WILLI and you went to his basement.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
It was a guy named Willy. And you went to
his basement, okay that'ous And and.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
A ton of people went and he had like this
gym set up and it was like in his garage
and he had all these mats out and you get
in there and you're doing like all types of stuff.
You're doing duck squats and you're doing you know, high knees,
You're doing all this stuff. And I'm like, I'm going hard.
I'm doing everything. You know, I'm nailing it. And then
I like start to lose my balance and vision and
(26:52):
and he just comes up to me.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
He's like what.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
And I'm like, I can't hear you out of this here,
and he's like, come with me, and he starts like
pushing me up.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Is these steps feeling your breast?
Speaker 10 (27:02):
No, it pushes me out these steps, gives me an
ice pack to put on my neck. I go into
this tiny little powder room. I sit down on the toilet.
I'm my, it's so small that I'm over the sink
because I don't know which way I'm going to expel,
but it could be both, and I have I'm like,
I can't get my heart rate down. Twenty minutes later,
(27:24):
I come back downstairs, everybody's finishing the workout and I'm like,
I'm like, man, I went hard. And he was like, dude,
you did so good. You almost made it through the
whole warm up and I was like, what now, No,
that was the warm up. Yeah, that wasn't a joke.
It was actually the warm up for real.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
That was the show.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Did you throw up or no?
Speaker 5 (27:43):
No? Have you? I just felt nauseous.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Have you ever thrown up from working out?
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I have to. It's the it's it's terrible.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
It works. It is a bad feeling from I did
it from sprints.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
And yeah, that's what I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Dude, spring drills in the gym a little. Yeah, yeah,
that's the worst feeling. Now, Abby, you did some serious
training there for a while, I did. You were getting.
Speaker 11 (28:07):
Jacked, so jacked that I kind of stopped working out
for a while because I started getting cluster headaches and
that completely derailed me. And I'm back on working out again,
and I'm still at like kind of a good level,
and I kind of attribute that to how hard I
was working out before. Like when I go back to
(28:30):
like start to do my push ups, i was thinking,
I'm like, man, I'm I went from being able to
do thirty and now I'm gonna do three and pass
out and I'm just like pumping out twenty five and
I'm like damn, oh bitch, Okay.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Gall so like it's really nice.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I'm like, Okay, well, I guess we're still there.
Speaker 11 (28:49):
Yeah, I can't do I can't go as hard on
the heavyweights as I used to. But I'm kind of
calming down a little bit. But to your point on
just throwing up from workouts, when I do hard cardio,
I still will get a headache from that, like for
whatever reason. And when I was doing CrossFit at that
Green Tree Sportsplex, Dude, that's when it's like tire flipping
(29:13):
kind of stuff, like.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I will hurl my body just wall built for that.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I can't believe you were working out in the dude's
basement in Penhills, Like what is the rate of like
staff infection in that place.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
You're just in a dude's basement. This dude was a beast.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
He was I'm sure he was getting people in the
best shape ever.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
And I used to like, remember my buddy Jerry Jerry.
Speaker 10 (29:38):
He also took me to these workouts and pen Hills
where this dude who used to like play in the
NFL was absolutely shredded. I think he was on the
Bengals for a few years and he used to have
these huge workouts in the gym and you're just doing
bear crawls the whole entire time, like and I'm like, dude,
I don't know how I stopped working out like that. Well,
(30:00):
my sister was like is an absolute animal in the gym,
like she iss strong as hell. And this dude, I
don't even know how she met him, maybe at the
gym somewhere else, and he just had this thing going
in his basement and it was like a club.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
It was like a fight club.
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Like you're just doing you're kneeing heavy bags, like that's
the workout.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Is mooie tie, Like you're doing mooey ty. I didn't
even get to that part.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Dude, you would burn so much fat doing that.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
I mean he didn't even get to the heavy bag part.
High knees took me out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Like I was warm up, I was.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Gone, okay, well we'll hopefully get Billy on here a

and he's like, no, no, no, I can do nine
thirty to ten. And I was like okay, but but okay,

You know, that week He actually extended an invite to
go watch him get inducted into the Hall of Fame.
(34:15):
And it was the week I was getting my surgery,
and he didn't even hesitate. He'say like, hey, man, go
do whatever you have to to get yourself healthy. So
we're going to kind of revisit that and talk about that,
and it's going to be a big Pittsburgh morning. Speaking
of which, this is the other reason I called in.
I've been jamming up this week a little bit. And Bill,
I know you are departing the flagship here, and I
(34:37):
just want to tell you that I love you and

and really being a guiding light for me.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I mean, you know you've had.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
Well, no I don't, but we have had such an
epic We've had a couple of real Swiss fell region
square epic runs on this show. I really, I mean
that's like baseline molecules, those streets. I was trying to
think of what my favorite rift that we ever did was,
and I think when we jumped on Noah's Ark at Kennywood.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
That goes back because.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Remember that morning we were just talking about like all
the broken parts from every other.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Ride into Yeah, Like is that a wagon wheel in there? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (35:43):
I think it's a wagon. Yeah, your gun and a wagon.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Piece supply would make the shaky floor.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
Yeah, put that in that ship if we can't bust
your ankles before you get to the potato.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
And I just all those days and I just love
you and I just wish you no, I love you
too all the success in the world.
Speaker 10 (36:06):
Seriously, thank you for being such such a great example
of what it means to be from Pittsburgh and to
have that that heart and that humor and that wit
and and that character. I appreciate you more than I
could ever say. Cousin, I always say, you know, I'd
take a bullet for Billy Gardell. And luckily we don't
(36:26):
both still live where we live because that would be
on the table, you.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Know what I mean. So good, as long as you're
out of here by seven. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (36:39):
My dad used to say that, get out of get
out of Swiss fell by seven, bill, get out.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Of Swiss comes dust till dawn. You need gas. Make
sure you got enough in the tank to get you
to Squirrel Hill. Get there, yeah, Pipe, don't mess around,
(37:03):
you know.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
You know what I was thinking about is that I
love all of the guests that we have on every week.
There's some of my favorite people. But I don't even
consider you a guest. You're just on the show. You're
part of the show. Yeah, I like, I like to
think that you are. And and my my favorite part
about the Morning Show is when it's us and everything
(37:26):
just completely falls apart and we can't even like really
get it together to do you know, Abby's news or
whatever we're trying to get to, like, we can't do it.
That's that's been the favorite momentum for me.
Speaker 9 (37:39):
Remember last year when I when I couldn't connect and
then the mic went live and I dropped.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
The exactly exactly.
Speaker 9 (37:49):
Stupid we're live, We're live. Poor poor Randy's finger has
a bandage on it from hitting that cop. It's been
a joy, man, it's been a joy, really has.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Uh Bill we love you both, Bills, we love it,
and uh guard to coach Cower.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
Yeah, I will, man, I will, I will send a
love from the DV flagship and uh wor's Mikey this
morning to tell him hello.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
I hope.
Speaker 9 (38:20):
I wanted to hear what he had to say about
the Chargers game, but uh, I was tied up on
the other line there, But I was interested to say
what what he had to.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
I just now I watch them under the couch.
Speaker 9 (38:31):
That's where I watched under the couch because I don't
know what's going to show up. We're either going to
look like Triple A team or we're gonna look like
the Super Bowl. I don't know what we are, so
I'm trying to disengage and trying not to blow the
Mark monitor out.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
I watch him the rest of the season, so well, yeah,
be careful, all right. I don't like that. I don't
like this season. As a matter of fact, what.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
You might want to do is take the game, have
Joey O'Connell watch it, and then have him let.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
You know if you can watch it or not. You know,
he scrubbed the scrubbed the trouble areas.
Speaker 9 (39:04):
I'll get I'll give you two great O'connellism's Joey O'Connell
from Penthills.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Whenever we're blowing it real bad.
Speaker 9 (39:11):
Joe is a man of few words, and he'll just
type in capitals with the with the one that pulses,
you know, the work, and he'll just type stink. Game
is a pulsing stink. And then we were talking to
(39:31):
teams that just can't quite get over the hill. And
then he made me spit my drink out it he goes,
let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
He was dead.
Speaker 9 (39:38):
Seriously, I think they built Buffalo Stadium on an ancient
burial ground.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
Be cursed.
Speaker 9 (39:46):
That's a curse because they must have done something so
wrong and built that place in the wrong.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
There's ghosts. That's a curse. Stink. And then he hangs up,
and then I don't hear from him for four days.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Billy Gardell, we'll talk to you on Tuesday, Bill.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
Okay, guys, I love you very much.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Google ahead, It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE,
brought to you.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
By iron Workers Local Union number three.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
They don't go to the office, They build it and
Steelers Pro Shop get it direct from the team at
Shop Steelers dot Com.
Speaker 5 (41:01):
Here's Tom Oproman.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
The Steeers will try to get their revenge against the
Bengals this Sunday, since He comes to Pittsford for the
second leg of the division rivalry. This season, Pittsburgh lost
to since he back in Week seven, thirty three to
thirty one, in a game that saw Bengals star wide
receiver Jamar Chase put up sixteen catches on twenty three targets,
for one hundred and sixty one yards and a touchdown.
That kind of game has the norm for someone like Jamar,
who is the NFL's second leading receiver this season despite
(41:23):
losing his star quarterback Joe Burrow to injury in Week two.
It was what the other Chase did to the Steelers
that was the bigger problem in the team's last meeting
since he running back Chase Brown ran for one hundred
and eight yards in just eleven carries, and the Bengals
as the team ran for one hundred and forty two
total yards. Despite entering that game as the league's worst
rushing offense. Well fast forward to Week eleven and that
fact hasn't changed. The Bengals rank dead last and running
(41:45):
the ball with an average of just seventy eight point
eight yards per game on the ground. Well better change
those how the Steelers handle Brown, whose game against the
Steelers was by far his best of the season so
far and the only game he's eclipsed one hundred yards
rushing this year. With the Bengals receiving core and passing
game posing such a massive threat, the Steelers will be
best to take the running game completely away from Cincy
If they hope to successfully get their payback.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
I'm Tom Opperman with the Steelers Report.

Pursuda from New Jersey dot Com, The New York The
New York Star Ledger, New York Yankees beat writer Randy
Miller joining us right now on the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Randy, good morning, How are you man?
Speaker 6 (00:36):
I'm great, It's great to be on DVE. I'm a native. Jeannette,
the guy who's station, Well, it's.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Been a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We haven't spoken in a while, but you know, I
know you and Pursuit of have been friends for a
long time. But you and I have crossed paths a
couple of times, and it's definitely good to talk to
you again. This story is making a lot of waves
here in Pittsburgh. There's some some people who are saying, oh,
oh well, Paul Skens denied this report, but I don't
hear a denial in what he said. What did you
(01:05):
make of Paul Sken's comments about your story about him
wanting to be traded to the Yankees and vocalizing that
to teammates.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
I wasn't surprised. I haven't been a Yankee writer. I
covered the Phillies for seventeen years and this is my
coming up, my eleventh of the Yankees. And over the
years I heard a lot of stories from people would
have been in the organization, not good stories, and a
lot of people have been unhappy there. And I did
(01:37):
a big story last year on Domingo Herman and how
that the Pirates signed him after he'd been through a
lot of issues and the parts didn't do their due diligence,
and I kind of had pretty interesting phone conversation with
GM after that. It doesn't surprise me then I help players.
Are a lot of friends in the game and people
(01:59):
I talked to, and when I heard this story, I
wasn't surprised, but it wasn't from what It wasn't just schemes.
I heard that a lot of people when they're there.
It's when you're the miners, get to the big leagues,
they can develop you and then get out of there
because the owner just isn't going to spend money and
schemes wants to win. I'm in Las Vegas right now
(02:19):
for the GM meetings, and I waited out and spoke
to the Pirates GM the other day by myself for
a little bit, and I told him what I'd heard,
and he's just he wasn't surprised. He knows. He told
me that every one of our conversation schemes, I want
to win. I want to win. He's been the best
priorate probably since Barry Bonds and Deans is doing it
(02:41):
the right way. And it's sad to me. I grew
up a big Pirate fan, kept score probably one hundred
and twenty or thirty games a year in the stargul
Park or Candelira era, and it's sad what they become.
It's just I hope that the owner sells the team
at some point. There's going to be a lockout next
year that might we might even lose the entire twenty
(03:04):
twenty seventh season. I know the owners want to get
a floor to the get a cap of the floor,
and maybe that's the best thing that could happen to
Pittsburgh because it's it's a shame and look, everyone knows
that there's no chance the pirates are going to keep
Paul Skins for the long run. There's just no shots
he's going to get probably five hundred million at some point.
(03:25):
And also, by the way, there's before I even talk
to a pirate about this, and it was brought up
to me. It wasn't something high asked. It was brought
up to me, and it was I know in my
story it was a couple of comments, but it was
a ten minute conversation about the pirates. But I've heard
from being out in the New York area, I have
(03:48):
heard from people that that schemes. His girlfriend has told
people that he's going to be a Yankee. I heard
that second hand. I didn't write it because I heard
it secondhand.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
But for an apartment in Hormone, I thought.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
I think she tried to buy Babe Russel the Little
House and it got denied at one point. So after
that happened, I've heard stories who who knows. I just
know that at one point last year someone had told
me that it's keen to talk about wanting to be
an angel, and I mentioned the story about how he
got Mike Trout's autograph from before. I've heard people have
(04:25):
said to him why would you want to be an angel?
Look what they've done to Mike trouts career. Look what
they've done to the six years of a Tawny's career.
You're going to go there and beat your hometown team
and you're never going to win. And now I'm hearing
I'm hearing the Yankees, and I'm not hearing that anything's
going to happen. Now. I think he's can be apart
for a couple more years. But I do know that
(04:48):
from talking to people with the Yankees that they have
heard the same thing. They've they've kind of laughed off, like, hey,
you know, you hear this stuff all the time. Everybody
wants to come here. Let's let's see what happens down
the road. You know she's long way, now see what
happens down the road. So the Yankees have heard this.
They've heard the stuff too, not from me, they've heard
(05:08):
it from other people.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
The Skis agent must be like, shut up, because you're
killing us.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You know, I have a funny story on you know,
I I ripped the Pirates because I love the old
pirates and it's sad what become. But this is this
is a story that kind of illustrates what the pirates
are and you wonder why it is Nutting like this.
You know, if he's going to be an owner, why
not put some money into the team. Well, a few
(05:38):
years ago, a long time friend of mine passed away,
and I'm at the dinner after the funeral and I'm
sitting next to his my friend's cousin, and her husband
was there, and her husband was a lot older, and
we're talking about my job, and her husband says, Hey,
I want to let you know I am friends with
(05:58):
Nutting's father, who I think passed away maybe a couple
years ago. And he says, every year, there's a few
of us that make this trip to Colorado, and it's
a bunch of rich people to go and have these
dinners and go hang out for several days. He goes,
what's crazy is worth these dinners? And they are very
expensive dinners. And at the end of dinner, Nothing's dad
(06:21):
pulls out of his jacket instant coffee and says, I
ain't paying twenty dollars for the damn coffee. So here's
a guy that has close to a billion dollars that
was bringing his own instant coffee. So when you say
you know, the apple doesn't fall apart from the tree.
Like it's just when you hear that, it's just like,
oh god, you know, it's it's sad to me. But look,
(06:43):
there's no chance they're keeping Schemes for the long run.
I think this year Mitch Keller is going to make
sixteen point four million. If they don't trade him, that'll
be the richest contract in pirate history. I hear that
he's available for a trade. Reynolds is available for a trade.
He's making money. But when it comes time for Schemes
to get into his fifth and sixth year, I think
(07:05):
the last year he might make might set a record
for arbitration eligible numbers, which might be thirty thirty five.
I think so Too had the record two years ago,
and the Yankees maybe thirty one million. By then, Schemes
can get thirty five million own the open market. He's
gonna get fifty million dollars a year. And it's just
it's just he's never he has no shots of staying.
So at some point the pirates are gonna have to
(07:27):
trade him. When I thought to the GM two days ago,
he said, the way to keep him the longest is
to is to win. Well, keep him the longest. What
does that mean, keep him for five years instead of four,
six years instead of five. That's that's the best case.
The best case scenario I believe is that is that
he gets to where Garret Cole was. You know, I
(07:50):
talked to Garrett Cole a lot who who still loves
Pittsburgh and still upset that the Pirates didn't keep him
for six years. And they try to win because a
lot of people that I talked to that come through
your organization, they just love the city. They love the fans.
They know what it was like in the seventies when
they won, when the Pirates were as popular as as
(08:13):
the Steelers, more popular than the Penguins. And now what
there's a couple of generations of fans that know nothing
but losing. And the Schemes is already the best right
handed in baseball. He s google the Cy Young winner
for Detroit are the best two pitchers in baseball, and
it's sad that he has no shot in making the playoffs.
(08:34):
What are the Pirates gonna do this year? At the
GM says, Oh, we're gonna spend a little more money.
What's that mean? They've got to got to get one back.
That's a five million dollar player. That's not gonna change anything.
They're gonna lose. They're gonna lose eighty five ninety games
for Storregan next year. It's just not gonna change.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
And that's Randy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
That's your perception of how baseball looks at the Pirates.
They are not a serious player.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
Of course, they're not a serious player. And the thing
is is that we always hear the small market. Well,
look at Milwaukee, Milwaukee. I've been to Milwaukee. I've been
there with you. The night that the Mummy briss uh
when sister his sister going to fight in the bar.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You got to do a different interview about that one.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
He's got a twin, chubby brister.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I remember there was like the evil twin and the
good winning remembers had got in a fight and she
was being drug away and she heard it Bra. She's serious.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
That's amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Yeah, yeah, Mike. Mike was probably seventeen beers in and doesn't.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Remember the fire engine red in the studio.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You're welcome, love.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
The barg people are not in the industry. You're not
taking them seriously. Is the suspicions.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
It's how can they They've had what four winning seasons
since Barry Bonds left and and it's I think of
in the seventies when I remember being excited a kid
when there was top Pete Rose might come to the
come to the Pirates. Gallbrook was going to give them
some horses. Even it's gonna come. And now it's just
it's a it's a joke. And they got a beautiful ballpark.
(10:28):
People come from all over the nation to go see
that ballpark, and they just they just don't win. Well,
why can Milwaukee win? Why why can Tampa win? Look
at Tampa. I go to Tampa all the time. The
Yankees play there twice a year. I'm there for spring training.
They get ten thousand people at the games. And yet
they've been in the playoffs and they're in the Al East.
(10:50):
They beat out the Yankees for division titles, beat them
in the playoffs. How can they win? Because they put
a lot of money into their forum system, they do
things right. Even with the Pirates. I hear stories that
their farm system isn't the greatest in certain areas, the
scouts aren't the greatest in certain areas, and that's where
a lot of these other teams that at least they
(11:12):
put the money in developing players, they can't keep them.
I know, I hear a lot of times in spring
training when you get there, there's eighty people in the
in the clubhouse, and there's a lot of guys that
are six year freezing minor league signings that are going
to go to trip Away and all the ones that
play for the Pirates. I go up to them and
(11:32):
shout with them, what was your time like in the organization?
And this has been going for years. You just you
don't hear good stories.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
You know.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
The one guy who loves Pittsburgh was Bedinark I I uh,
it's it's fun getting to know him a little bit.
He just came at the end of the year. But
the guy, the guy loves Pittsburgh goes and he goes
in tailgates with the Steeler games of fans and and
Yankee fans are just seeing what kind of guy he's
(12:02):
a He's a true Pittsburgher who's a boundary of guy.
And I think the Yankee fans are gonna really go
to love him. I don't think any of them understand
the uh uh his his entrance song You Steelers. He
still still does he does renegade. Yeah, yeah, And I
was pretty fired enough. I taped the first time and
(12:22):
sent to some of my friends dot home. They were
they were excited about it, and nobody the Yankee fans
don't understand. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Randy Miller from uh in New Jersey dot com the
the author of the article yesterday about Paul Skeen's apparently
telling a teammate that he wanted to be traded to
the Yankees.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
I mean it was this Tony soprano in that driveway
scene where he picked up.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Yeah, of course he was. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
But this to me, you know, we talked about this earlier.
This to me is the least surprising story in the world.
You know, guy who's in jail, who committed no crime
wants to escape, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
H I do believe that Skemes knows he's there for
a couple more years, and I believe he wants to
win there.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
I have friends in Louisiana that followed him when he
was at LSU. From all counts, I hear he's a
pretty good guy people, pirate reporters I talked to. I
hear he's a pretty stand up guy, but he knows.
He knows he's not going to be a long term pirate. Uh,
(13:28):
it's it's it's obvious. I know that he's I know
people that talked to him about it. Then look, he's
just not going to come out and say, yes, I
want to I want to go to the Yankees. I
never heard anything about the Yankees. I'd been telling people
last year. I hear he wants to go to the Angels,
and people like, what, why would he go there? That's
what someone told me that that talked to him. And
(13:49):
then now, uh, when I brought that up to a
remember the Pirates, no, no, no, no, no, it's it's the Yankees.
And then I said, okay, well that makes sense. I've
heard some stuff about I don't know his girlfriend. It's
out there to where it's got back to the Yankees.
I know it's got back to the Yankees that they've
(14:09):
heard it and they've kind of laughed it off. But
you hear all the time people want to play for this.
A lot of times, the agents are always throw the
Yankees and everything to drive up the price that I
still believe that he'll be a pirate for at least
two more years, and then I think when they realize
(14:31):
that he's not going to sign long term, at that
point he will move on. I know Garret Cole was
interested in being a pirate a long time. Long term heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's what's heartbreaking, because these guys actually do want to
stay here, you know.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
And Bob Nutting loved it there. He still does.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
We talked about Pittsburgh all the time. I pulls a
great guy to be around. He could be the best
pitching coach in baseball, but he's never going to do
it because he's made so much money. But a great guy.
And we talked about the spurg a lot and he look.
He pitched in All Star Games, pitched in a World
Series with the Yankees. Some of his best moments of
his life were the playoff games in Pittsburgh and winning
(15:11):
in Pittsburgh when nobody thought to day crew whoever winning
They had that three year stretch where where they were
in with the wild Card series and they won one
game where the fans were all over the Reds pitcher
and that was a great moment in Pittsburgh and it
was I remember watching that game on TV and it's
like Wow, this reminds me of what it was like
for a kid. And now it's a whole generation of
(15:31):
fans that are seeing this for the first time. And cool, fat,
let's build it. Let's add on to the team and
at least keep me through six years. And look, he
ended up going getting trade with Houston, he gets another
World Series, goes the World Series there, he goes a
World Series the Yankees. He gets this big contract, but
he's he still wishes that he would have had another
(15:53):
run with the Pirates to see if they would have
added on that last year instead of getting rid of him,
they would have added on. He thought they were close.
And when you look at how close Milwaukee has been
over the years, I think those those Pirate teams were
as good as any of these Milwaukee teams. You look
at the same thing with the Pampa Tines. So a
small market team, if you do it right, you can
(16:14):
you can get in there and have a little two
or three year run like the Pirates had a few
years ago. But look, everybody knows that they're not they're
not spending like they should, right, They're keeping their luxury
tax money, and uh, it's it's disgraceful. Because there's a
lot of great baseball fans of Pittsburgh. I know because
my friends are Pirate fans. My dad's a Pirate fan,
(16:36):
my cousin's a big Pirates fan. And you see their
Facebook posts and and they're still living and dying. I
have a friend in Louisiana who watches every freaking, every
freaking game, and it's like they're they're they're so upset. Uh.
One drove the drove the Cooperstown for Parker from Louisiana
to to Cooperstown. Parker's can all they introduction. Then then
two weeks later drove from Louisiana to Pittsburgh to go
(16:58):
see l Over going to Pirates all fans. So there's
still huge Pirate fans out there, living in the past,
hoping that they live long enough. And but look, there's
a lot of Red Sox fans that never thought you're
one of them, right, Randy, Yeah, you probably never thought.
I think I got your tickets the one year.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, and uh and.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
I and you never thought you'd never see the Red
Sox win the World Series and I got to go.
And then now the Cubs have won, so things can change.
I just wonder when we heard rumors years ago about Cuban,
if Cuban would have bought the team, how it would
be different. But I still believe the silver lining here
(17:35):
for for the Pirate fans is and it's a really
good thing that the Dodgers won the Real Series this
year because from what I hear is that that most
of the owners in baseball are united against the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are bringing in so many millions of dollars
in Japanese advertising that basically the the O Tawny contract
(17:59):
was paid off in a couple of years. That's right
I hear, And now I know a lot of the owners,
including Steinbrunner for the Yankees, who has many billions, that
they're like, we have to stop this. We're not gonna
be able to even we can't compete with the Dodgers
in their spending. They're paying so much in luxury tax,
but it doesn't matter because the advertising money that they're
bringing in from Japan is offsetting this and they're still
(18:20):
making money, a big money. So from talking to players,
they're insisting, over our dead body or we ever going
to have our salary cap, and the owners are saying, well,
we're getting a salary cap. So there's going to be
a might be the worst work stoppage in sports history,
as bad as the hockey. But I believe the way
it's going to get solved is I believe there's going
(18:42):
to be a cap. I believe it'll be a high cap,
so the Yankees in Dodgers and Mets will still be
able to spend a little more than everybody else. But
I believe it's going to force the Pirates, the Marlins,
the Rays, the Brewers, the small market teams to spend
a lot more. And that point nothing is going to
either have to spend or sell the team. And uh
so I think that'll be a good thing for Parts,
(19:03):
that that we that they get a cap in here
a couple of years down the road, and that give
him a chance to force the parts to spend and and
get a chance to win, because it's it's it's a
shame what's going on here.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Certainly, way way, way too long.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Randy Miller, thank you so much. We really appreciate your
time this morning. Thanks for calling from Vegas.

Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, Bubby Prister sister was.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Getting ripped coming to Steelers with him for a couple
of years.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
When I was in County, he was at Union Town
and we were run by the same family, so we
kind of split the work. Yeah, and and we were
on a Steeler beat for maybe three years. Yeah, there's
a few of those Bubby Risters.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Sister got in a fight at the Green Bay game.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Broker Rister skate.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Stuff's amazing and no, no, no, no, no, no, nothing's Nothing's dad.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
Thing is even crazier. Oh, I'm not paying for my
own coffee.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
The most believable story ever.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
We are the instant coffee of Major League Baseball totally.
When we come back. Billy Gardelle joining us here on
the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 5 (20:21):

how you listen, Pittsburgh's rocker isbb d's.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Always rocked and always well.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Rocked dv E.
Speaker 4 (20:35):

Randy Bauman along with Bill Crawford, Abbey Chrisner. We're waiting

on the national radio circuit promoting something. Did he call you,
Jacob now? So I think he's over on Bob and
Tom show right now?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 10 (21:01):
And then what like is that just in between like
repointing the bricks on his chimney and hand washing all
his area rugs.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
You know what, I've been doing all of these commercials
on MHI roofing And I had a dream last night
that the my chimney like fell down and exploded my roof,
and I woke up this morning, I'm like, uh, and
it seems so real.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I was like, I got to take care of that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Do you ever have that dream, Like when you have
a dream you get up and think that that's a
thing that happened for just like a second or two.
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Absolutely, yeah. I think they called it lucid dreaming.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Now I wake up and I'm like, thank god, MHI,
thank you, just as.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Randy exactly, thank God for MHI and uh for Billy Gardel.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
But he's just doing He still hasn't slowed down, dude,
he still has not slowed down.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
He's supposed to be resting, resting, and he is not resting.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
He's doing a national press junker.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
He wanted to come on Tuesday because he had to
do press on Tuesday, and he wanted to do eight
o'clock our time, which would have been five o'clock his time,
which would have meant he would have to get up
around you know, four forty am. And ambled down to
his computer, turn it on, grab a coffee, and I
was like no.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
He's like what you mean, and I'm like, no, you can't.
You gotta sleep a little bit, dude.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
You just had a fib you almost died at Alleghany
General like, no, slow down.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
He's like, I'm gonna be up anyways.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I'm like no, nope.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It's it's insane to me.
Speaker 11 (22:39):
The morning he was here and Bartnick was here, was
asking him what time is show started?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah, he wanted to go. It was the day after
he got out of the hospital. He wanted to go
to the Improv and do a set.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
Thank god for Patty, his wife at least keeps a
leash on him. Yes, but it's there's this video that
was going y i roll online. There was this little
like pug dog that kept diving in this hole, and
the owner would go in and like work so hard
to get this dog out of the hole, and then
she would come out of the hole, and then the
dog would go right back.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
In the hole. That's Billy. Yes, he can't. He can't
stop himself. I don't you know.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
By the way, happy birthday to our buddy Joe Bartneck
yesterday was his birthday.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Joey b and Billy have that same thing. I do
not have that.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
When it's like you very clearly should have a doctor
look at something or at least assess a health situation,
They're like, I'm fine, he walked off a heart attack.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Bartnick, did I know?
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Like that's not a joke, that's real. I know he
is a throwback human being.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
They both are.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
They both have like such deep Pittsburgh DNA that there
is no part of them that thinks that they deserve that,
like actually trying to make sure they're healthy is a weakness.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
I'd like to die with my pride. Yes, like my
father and his father.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, I might be dying unnecessarily, but at least I
didn't go to the doctor.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Is that a Pittsburgh thing or is that a Bravado thing?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, definitely it's them there a circle, yeah, you know.
Speaker 11 (24:26):
Yeah, but I find that sometimes my hypochondria is in
effect on things that are completely unnecessary. And then when
I am actually in medical distress, I am as calm
as can be and I am not taking it seriously
at all.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean, I I've kind of got a handle on
my hypochondria after like, I'm much better with it now,
mostly because I don't care. It's like I had a
good run, but I'm ready to go. That's part of it.
It's like, yeah, this movie's gone on along.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But the one thing that I would not do is
be like, oh is my heart rate one hundred and
seventy eight right now? Resting heart rate. I'll fly to
California and get a checked out tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
And that's what Billy wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
I don't know that I've ever had that high of
a heart rate.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I can see.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
Saying, oh god, it sounds so inconvenient.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Though the way today, Oh like, oh, I want to
be home so bad?
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, yeah, you just want to get home.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And then he's like, I watch the pit I don't
want to go to that hospital.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, but I get doctor Wiley.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
I think even when I've gotten a heart rate up,
but like one fifty, I don't know how he was
like walking around because when I you.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Know, it's like you get dizzy.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Like I've had workouts where you're doing like some kind
of CrossFit thing where you're doing burpies or something to
that effect. Like I can't hear out of one ear.
I'm sweating like you're vision.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
That's me.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
There is a marker that you know, when you're doing cardio,
it'll tell you, well, if you're on any kind of
cardio machine.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Here's your heart rate.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Don't go above this. You know, there's a reason they
do that.
Speaker 10 (26:13):
My sister used to take me to this training. She
did this Mooe Thai training in Penn Hills. Shout out
to anybody that ever went to Willy's basement.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
All right, this guy was.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
The name of it, or was it a guy named
WILLI and you went to his basement.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
It was a guy named Willy. And you went to
his basement, okay that'ous And and.
Speaker 10 (26:29):
A ton of people went and he had like this
gym set up and it was like in his garage
and he had all these mats out and you get
in there and you're doing like all types of stuff.
You're doing duck squats and you're doing you know, high knees,
You're doing all this stuff. And I'm like, I'm going hard.
I'm doing everything. You know, I'm nailing it. And then
I like start to lose my balance and vision and
(26:52):
and he just comes up to me.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
He's like what.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
And I'm like, I can't hear you out of this here,
and he's like, come with me, and he starts like
pushing me up.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Is these steps feeling your breast?
Speaker 10 (27:02):
No, it pushes me out these steps, gives me an
ice pack to put on my neck. I go into
this tiny little powder room. I sit down on the toilet.
I'm my, it's so small that I'm over the sink
because I don't know which way I'm going to expel,
but it could be both, and I have I'm like,
I can't get my heart rate down. Twenty minutes later,
(27:24):
I come back downstairs, everybody's finishing the workout and I'm like,
I'm like, man, I went hard. And he was like, dude,
you did so good. You almost made it through the
whole warm up and I was like, what now, No,
that was the warm up. Yeah, that wasn't a joke.
It was actually the warm up for real.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
That was the show.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Did you throw up or no?
Speaker 5 (27:43):
No? Have you? I just felt nauseous.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Have you ever thrown up from working out?
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (27:48):
I have to. It's the it's it's terrible.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
It works. It is a bad feeling from I did
it from sprints.
Speaker 5 (27:54):

Speaker 2 (27:56):

that's the worst feeling. Now, Abby, you did some serious
training there for a while, I did. You were getting.
Speaker 11 (28:07):
Jacked, so jacked that I kind of stopped working out
for a while because I started getting cluster headaches and
that completely derailed me. And I'm back on working out again,
and I'm still at like kind of a good level,
and I kind of attribute that to how hard I
was working out before. Like when I go back to
(28:30):
like start to do my push ups, i was thinking,
I'm like, man, I'm I went from being able to
do thirty and now I'm gonna do three and pass
out and I'm just like pumping out twenty five and
I'm like damn, oh bitch, Okay.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Gall so like it's really nice.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I'm like, Okay, well, I guess we're still there.
Speaker 11 (28:49):
Yeah, I can't do I can't go as hard on
the heavyweights as I used to. But I'm kind of
calming down a little bit. But to your point on
just throwing up from workouts, when I do hard cardio,
I still will get a headache from that, like for
whatever reason. And when I was doing CrossFit at that
Green Tree Sportsplex, Dude, that's when it's like tire flipping
(29:13):
kind of stuff, like.
Speaker 4 (29:14):

Bengals for a few years and he used to have
these huge workouts in the gym and you're just doing
bear crawls the whole entire time, like and I'm like, dude,
I don't know how I stopped working out like that. Well,

my sister was like is an absolute animal in the gym,
like she iss strong as hell. And this dude, I
don't even know how she met him, maybe at the
gym somewhere else, and he just had this thing going

moving after my surgery, and we're going to talk about that.
You know, that week He actually extended an invite to
go watch him get inducted into the Hall of Fame.
(34:15):
And it was the week I was getting my surgery,
and he didn't even hesitate. He'say like, hey, man, go
do whatever you have to to get yourself healthy. So
we're going to kind of revisit that and talk about that,
and it's going to be a big Pittsburgh morning. Speaking
of which, this is the other reason I called in.
I've been jamming up this week a little bit. And Bill,
I know you are departing the flagship here, and I
(34:37):
just want to tell you that I love you and
I wish you the absolute best, all the success in
the world. Man, and take your leap, find what you're

Speaker 5 (35:03):
I mean, you know you've had.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
Well, no I don't, but we have had such an
epic We've had a couple of real Swiss fell region
square epic runs on this show. I really, I mean
that's like baseline molecules, those streets. I was trying to
think of what my favorite rift that we ever did was,
and I think when we jumped on Noah's Ark at Kennywood.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
That goes back because.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Remember that morning we were just talking about like all
the broken parts from every other.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Ride into Yeah, Like is that a wagon wheel in there? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (35:43):
I think it's a wagon. Yeah, your gun and a wagon.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Piece supply would make the shaky floor.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
Yeah, put that in that ship if we can't bust
your ankles before you get to the potato.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
And I just all those days and I just love
you and I just wish you no, I love you
too all the success in the world.
Speaker 10 (36:06):
Seriously, thank you for being such such a great example
of what it means to be from Pittsburgh and to
have that that heart and that humor and that wit
and and that character. I appreciate you more than I
could ever say. Cousin, I always say, you know, I'd
take a bullet for Billy Gardell. And luckily we don't
(36:26):
both still live where we live because that would be
on the table, you.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Know what I mean. So good, as long as you're
out of here by seven. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (36:39):
My dad used to say that, get out of get
out of Swiss fell by seven, bill, get out.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Of Swiss comes dust till dawn. You need gas. Make
sure you got enough in the tank to get you
to Squirrel Hill. Get there, yeah, Pipe, don't mess around,
(37:03):
you know.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
You know what I was thinking about is that I
love all of the guests that we have on every week.
There's some of my favorite people. But I don't even
consider you a guest. You're just on the show. You're
part of the show. Yeah, I like, I like to
think that you are. And and my my favorite part
about the Morning Show is when it's us and everything
(37:26):
just completely falls apart and we can't even like really
get it together to do you know, Abby's news or
whatever we're trying to get to, like, we can't do it.
That's that's been the favorite momentum for me.
Speaker 9 (37:39):
Remember last year when I when I couldn't connect and
then the mic went live and I dropped.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
The exactly exactly.
Speaker 9 (37:49):
Stupid we're live, We're live. Poor poor Randy's finger has
a bandage on it from hitting that cop. It's been
a joy, man, it's been a joy, really has.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Uh Bill we love you both, Bills, we love it,
and uh guard to coach Cower.
Speaker 9 (38:13):
Yeah, I will, man, I will, I will send a
love from the DV flagship and uh wor's Mikey this
morning to tell him hello.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
I hope.
Speaker 9 (38:20):
I wanted to hear what he had to say about
the Chargers game, but uh, I was tied up on
the other line there, But I was interested to say
what what he had to.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
I just now I watch them under the couch.
Speaker 9 (38:31):
That's where I watched under the couch because I don't
know what's going to show up. We're either going to
look like Triple A team or we're gonna look like
the Super Bowl. I don't know what we are, so
I'm trying to disengage and trying not to blow the
Mark monitor out.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
I watch him the rest of the season, so well, yeah,
be careful, all right. I don't like that. I don't
like this season. As a matter of fact, what.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
You might want to do is take the game, have
Joey O'Connell watch it, and then have him let.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
You know if you can watch it or not. You know,
he scrubbed the scrubbed the trouble areas.
Speaker 9 (39:04):
I'll get I'll give you two great O'connellism's Joey O'Connell
from Penthills.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Whenever we're blowing it real bad.
Speaker 9 (39:11):
Joe is a man of few words, and he'll just
type in capitals with the with the one that pulses,
you know, the work, and he'll just type stink. Game
is a pulsing stink. And then we were talking to
(39:31):
teams that just can't quite get over the hill. And
then he made me spit my drink out it he goes,
let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
He was dead.
Speaker 9 (39:38):
Seriously, I think they built Buffalo Stadium on an ancient
burial ground.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
Be cursed.
Speaker 9 (39:46):
That's a curse because they must have done something so
wrong and built that place in the wrong.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
There's ghosts. That's a curse. Stink. And then he hangs up,
and then I don't hear from him for four days.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Billy Gardell, we'll talk to you on Tuesday, Bill.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Google ahead, It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE,
brought to you.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
By iron Workers Local Union number three.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
They don't go to the office, They build it and
Steelers Pro Shop get it direct from the team at
Shop Steelers dot Com.
Speaker 5 (41:01):
Here's Tom Oproman.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
The Steeers will try to get their revenge against the
Bengals this Sunday, since He comes to Pittsford for the
second leg of the division rivalry. This season, Pittsburgh lost
to since he back in Week seven, thirty three to
thirty one, in a game that saw Bengals star wide
receiver Jamar Chase put up sixteen catches on twenty three targets,
for one hundred and sixty one yards and a touchdown.
That kind of game has the norm for someone like Jamar,
who is the NFL's second leading receiver this season despite
(41:23):
losing his star quarterback Joe Burrow to injury in Week two.
It was what the other Chase did to the Steelers
that was the bigger problem in the team's last meeting
since he running back Chase Brown ran for one hundred
and eight yards in just eleven carries, and the Bengals
as the team ran for one hundred and forty two
total yards. Despite entering that game as the league's worst
rushing offense. Well fast forward to Week eleven and that
fact hasn't changed. The Bengals rank dead last and running
(41:45):
the ball with an average of just seventy eight point
eight yards per game on the ground. Well better change
those how the Steelers handle Brown, whose game against the
Steelers was by far his best of the season so
far and the only game he's eclipsed one hundred yards
rushing this year. With the Bengals receiving core and passing
game posing such a massive threat, the Steelers will be
best to take the running game completely away from Cincy
If they hope to successfully get their payback.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
I'm Tom Opperman with the Steelers Report.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
You see the skyline, you drive over the bridges we
built that ironworkers look

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
