This is w d V Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
My dad, if you saw anybody with a tattoo above
their shoulders, would be like that guy, I'll never get
a job in a bank. And like now you are
getting bank loans from people who have tattoos under their eyes.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yes? Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
My point with that is always like, what makes you
think that guy wants to work in a bank like
that never hurt jelled to me?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
What it's going to break his heart? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He always had the vision of being CFO.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Of Morgan Stanley And now the next tattoo ruined that Plath.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That's so normal. Now going and you're like, I have
a deposit today, Oh Spider?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Is that you? Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show
Abby Today's show's pack. It's too crowded.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
In fact, we should rake it up into a couple
of different shows, maybe three or four podcasts. Is just
to let it go there is we have mister Wednesday.
Jeff Conkle will be popping in today and hanging with us.
Who you just heard it there on that rewe clip.

We'll join the program at eight forty five. He's got
a big charity event going on that he wants to
tell you about, but I want him to weigh in
on Spitgate and everything that's going on right now.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh my god, do you think any players ever spit
on him before?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
No? I do not.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I do not because he would be in jail.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yes, he would have swallowed them. Yeah, like that muppet
that ran out and put people in its mouth, like
entire people. That's how Keesel would have responded to that. Also,
PFT commenters coming up at nine point fifteen today from
Barstool Sports, part in My take and Mike Pursuit of
course with your sports as we get ready for.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Steelers Bears on this hump day.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Coach Tomlin talking to the media yesterday, and I think
the quote that stands out is basically the one when asked,
you know what he said to Jalen Ramsey, which was,
you know, essentially I'm paraphrasing here, you know nothing. If
somebody spits on you, you know, do what you gotta do.
I mean, I know, spitting on someone is bad, But
(02:24):
it is interesting to see everybody fall in line with
the oh yes, no, you could stab a man in
the heart if he spits on you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The reality in football is you can get away with violence.
It's in the game. Yeah, and you.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Can't be gross.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, I don't like even thinking about it. With like
a fight with your siblings. They can punch you, yeah,
they can pull your hair, sure, like you can get
a hit in the nuts, like so much is permissible.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
They spit on you. You down and hover spit above
your head and then it dangles. No, anybody with a
big brother has been on the receiving end of one
of those, and it's the grossest thing.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
They're about to die, though.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
You're just looking up at contiguous spit coming out of
their mouth slowly like a spider crawling down until it
reaches the point that it weighs too heavy on the
bottom end, and the spit breaks from its contiguous core
and then drops down onto your head.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
There's a line that's crossed with body fluid. They're just
and I don't I again, it's never happened to me before,
but I can just imagine I was trying to put
myself I've put myself in Ramsey's position where I'm thinking,
like just the red like kill bill light would go on.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah, just.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Like all right, you're now you're about to get it
because it's just it's too gross.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's very gross.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's like violating in a way, you know. So I'm
just I get it. But with your siblings, can you
remember the last time that one of them hit you,
like like you hit back and it was the last time.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Oh my god, you're right in the middle, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But like my older brother Charlie still does this thing
where if he wants you to look at something, he
grabs your head and directs so he goes so like
you'll be sitting there at a wedding and then all
of a sudden you'll feel a hand around your neck
and you'll go look and then you're like, yeah, so,
I mean, I feel like I've been manhandled by him,
(04:35):
like and I continue to be yeah, but he's not.
It's just like he's like a mama dog who's picking
up the cubs always by the scruff, okay, you know,
and he doesn't realize I'm fifty st doing that.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
But it's been a minute for sure.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But I had brawls with my older brother, not Charlie
Gary when we were in our twenties, okay, like like
mid twenties, like throwing punches and you know what happens.
My younger brother and I never really got in too
many fights, like one fight one time and it was,
you know, very quickly snuffed out. But mostly it was
(05:17):
the two older brothers beating the hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's what I mean, like the two older brothers. But
then did you have to disseminate the ass opens down
or did.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
There's a responsibility?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
But I had a sister, any younger brother was four
years younger than me. We were our families being ripped apart.
It was too I'm like, I also beat them up.
So I was like, I don't get to beat anybody up.
This sucks, But I know, I.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Just try psychological warfare.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I did that. I did. Yeah, I definitely tried to
torture them.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
But we had the four or the three of us
on the bottom end, had more in common with each
other than the three on the top. There was like
two separate course, so we had the same sensibilities of
like what was funny and what music we liked and stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But yeah, I don't remember spending. I'm sure I held
down my sister and did a lot of the.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, it's kinda have happened.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I'm sure it did. I don't remember. It wasn't any
time recent.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But okay, my sister is only eighteen months older than me, right, So,
like the torture and like the physical like just ass
whooping is like very fresh in my mind. Like I
don't know when we stopped actually physically fighting, Like I mean,
I know when it was. But like I used to
get put in chicken wing. She used to do like
(06:32):
wrestling moves on me. And also she was doing like
horseback riding at a pretty young age. So she had
really strong thighs.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
She had lowered by, she had side crisby.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
She did, she really did, and so she could put
me in these wrestling moves and she would lock me
in her thighs and just like hold me like I
could not get out. Yeah, but I do remember the
last day that we fought and I punched her in
the ear or like I hit her in a way
(07:03):
that I cupped my hand just correctly, and I put
a hole in her ear drum. That's the last time
that she ever hit me. Ooh, and that was it,
like we were heal on or I think that it
did okay, eventually.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Anything that causes an actual surgery or something, that's when
it's like, oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Was like but then but then you know, the violence stopped.
That was the day that the violence ended.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, when you talked about the like wrestling moves, it
is remarkable that the couches we had growing up held
up because you should have thrown into those things like
turnbuckles all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Like it's your furniture damage. Can you think about it?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, I mean, I don't think it was. I mean
it was I'm sure it was gross. You know, there's
six kids, so yeah, I'm sure it was always nasty.
But I don't remember it structurally being messed up. But
I do mean I do remember being thrown into that
thing many many times.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Do you have the wood paneling on the corners?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
No, No, we didn't have one of those, but my
grandmother did, so you wouldn't have done it on those.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Those those ones are those will send you to the hospital.
Those heavy base ya for some reason.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
You know what they taste like those cushions.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
It's a really scratchy fabric on the top of them.
Now these were more like you know, value city furniture
couches that were probably two hundred and fifty dollars that
my dad could just you know, interchange relatively, you know, easily.
But I remember being thrown into it NonStop. I remember
(08:33):
being farted on on that couch a lot. But boy,
the spit. Getting back to the original point, yes, when
it got to the point of a dangling spit, there
was never any just somebody.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Although food, yes.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Like if there was like if there were, if you
had like if you were eating potato chips or something
and somebody was being annoy you could, yeah, just do
one of those.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, but not at no, No, like.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Pulling out a big louga and spitting on So that
would be disgusting.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Not that Jamar Chase lugied.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And I do think there's a distinction, by the way,
I think in a court of law you would get
less of a sentence for just a saliva spit versus.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
A lugi spit. A lugi spit is taking it to
an all new level.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
There's viscosity exactly, and then a germ factor that goes
above and beyond so Jamar Chase he is appealing. Yeah,
he's gonna appeal because he said that if he wanted
to spit on him, he would have spit in his
face and not on his uniform. Because he kind of spit.
(09:37):
It didn't hit Jamar Chase in the face or Jalen
Ramsey in the face.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
But there was a helmet that the aim would have
had to be very precise.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Like, come on, I agree. I don't think it's going
to hold up in court.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I don't think so either. Did you like the actual punishment?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Dold though, fine, because I don't want it to be
two games because I want him to play against the
Ravens the week after that. I completely agree, So fine
with it. And Ramon Foster is one of the governing
bodies determining whether or not that appeal will hold up.
I think one game is going to stick and he's
going to be out next week. Good so, and then
we get to watch him on Thanksgiving Night against the.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Ravens and I hope he gets banked.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
There's good games on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, they're decent. I actually this is one of the
first years that I kind of went we were going through,
especially all the halftime shows that are going to happen
to I'm like, this is actually going to be pretty fun.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah, all right, what's going on over there?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
News This hour is brought to you by your neighborhood
Ford Store, Clouds with brightening sky following that, and then
peaks of sunshine High fifty. As they celebrate their forty
fifth anniversary, Motley Crue announced a massive return of the
Carnival of Sins tour, which will traverse North America in
twenty twenty six, including a stop at the Pavilion at
Start Lake. And that's going to be on July the seventeenth.
(10:53):
The band last visited Pittsburgh in August of twenty two,
where they played a huge PNC Park show with def Leppard, Poison,
and Joan Jets.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I can't remember did you go to that?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I definitely did not see.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Somebody who had. Somebody went to it that we talk
a Madden.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
The starleag Date's gonna mark the opening show of this
new tour, and it's also gonna feature Tesla and Extreme
as special guests.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I don't know what he's got left in the tank,
you know, Convince Neil sing some singers have rehabilitated their voices,
like Roger Daltrey, and then there are guys like who
have real damage, like John bon Jovi, who is trying
desperately and doing like there is no question John bon
Jovi is absolutely busting his ass trying to get back
onto a stage, right Vince Neil after the stroke, I'm
(11:46):
not sure how hard he's working. I don't know how
much it affected his voice. Sometimes strokes have very severe
effects on people's voices.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
He was already.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Struggling before the stroke, was like, it looks to me
like with him, it's a simple matter of that guy
does not take care of himself and has never tried
to have like a regimen to take care of his voice.
I'm just finishing up Geddy Lee's biography right now, and
(12:16):
the amount of stuff he did for his voice later
in his career, especially which is where all the damage
you know, a cruise and then you really have to
take care of it. I mean, Geddy Lee used to
smoke cigarettes and do cocaine and sing like he would
go off stage and do cocaine and with that nose,
(12:37):
I mean, imagine how much blows a lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Coke can go up that nose. I didn't know he
was a drug guy.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
He didn't think it was a big deal. It was
of the time.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It was the seventies and everybody early eighty, everybody was
doing coke everywhere, and they just thought it was like, hey,
this is actually a performance enhancing drug here because touring
is so rough, and so he would like go off
stage during one of Alex's solo just like lean off stage,
and they'd have like a line of coke for him
and a cigarette, and then he would go back out
(13:07):
and sing. And then he was like later in life,
you realize because they were Rush was very young when
they broke, very young, Like I think they had their
first hit when he was like twenty one. Wow, maybe twenty,
so you know, when you're younger, you can abuse the
hell out of it. But he got, you know, comes
around thirty and he's like, you have you can't do
(13:28):
any of that anymore. And it's taking care of your
voice because there's there's sixteen thousand people who paid to
see the show and it is all hinging on your voice.
I don't know if Vince Neil ever took the care
or thought of it that way. And then he just
you know, we've been making fun of his voice, but
like you listen to those the early stuff. I mean,
(13:48):
he could sing, you know when they covered Helter Skelter
on Shout at the Devil.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Win stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So it's not like you know what I mean. Yeah,
it's not Bruce Dickenson or anything like that, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And he like moves off of the higher notes quickly,
and anybody who does like that effect on their voice
to give it a little bit of scratch. If you
do it without.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Care, rips up your vocal cords.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It rips it to shreds. And then you get you know, older,
and those those effects just aren't there anymore. And that
ability isn't there anymore, right because you can't vibrate your
chords in the same way anymore.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
How how many dates are on this tour for Motley Crew, Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Let me see if I have it, you know, and
I don't have it Handy in the.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Art A lot, it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I can always do a lot because they overdo it.
I mean, even the idea of them doing a residency
was a lot. But him having a stroke, like you,
kind of personified him. While he's never been a guy
who's really taking care of his health anyway, but also
as a vocalist. The best way I could describe his
approach is I would not say that he's a curious guy.
(15:14):
You know, there are certain seekers who vocally they always
want to improve and they treat their voice as an instrument.
We've seen video of him backstage of how he warms
up and he gives it one big scream and then
he goes out there.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Oh is that what he does? So there are thirty
three dates on the tour. I will say though, that
the picture that they're using the promotional picture for this tour,
he looks really thin, and I think that can only
help them.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
So let's hope that they make it through that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
It'll give him more breath work for sure, which is good.
General on sale is going to be nine am on Friday.
There is a little thing here where each ticket sold
a dollar is going to go to ASAP, which is
an after school art program that Motley Crue is involved in.
They have like a give back initiative, so that another
little bonus there. But Motley dot com is where you can.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Get and that's starlik.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, it is gonna be starlink okay, which, by the way,
you brought up Motley Crue. There was actually this article
that I saw yesterday where Doc McGee was talking about
bon Jovi.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Did you see AIA asset, Doc.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
McGee old Doc McGhee, No, he was talking about I
think this was at the the Kiss Cruz Landlocked thing
that they did. They also did just a Vegas event
recently where he was talking about certain bands that would
have made it and bands that wouldn't per his experience
(16:43):
as a manager, and he said Motley Crue is one
of the bands that would have made it because of
how infectious just the branding was, how visually stunning they were,
and how kids gravitated to it immediately, but that bon
Jovi is a band that never would have made it
today because they don't do three album deals anymore. It's
(17:07):
you've got one shot. You've got to come out of
the gate. You have to have the look immediately, you
have to have a single, you have to play He
actually said that, or I'm sorry, Rather bon Jovi wouldn't
have made it because it took too long for them
to get to slippery one way.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well, because it had that had a bunch of hits
on it totally.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
He said that everybody's doing these one single deals now
and they have one hundred and eighty seven thousand songs
that go to Spotify every single day, and it's just
that there's.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
No way how many of those are AI well.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Great point, you know, So there's just no way for
bands to get through that. And the way I found
the quote here, it said, we used to have an
ecosystem that allowed everybody to live like a reef. The
managers could only do so much and eat so many
of the fish, and the publisher could only eat so
many of the fish. But we kept the reef alive.
And now the corporate world has come in here and
killed the reef. So he's just kind of like, there's
(18:09):
no way. That is a good metaphor for it all,
or analogy or whatever it is. But it's such a mess.
I don't know how it gets fixed. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I mean, but I think that this is going on
across the board right now in corporations, in every industry,
is that the technology zoomed past everybody so fast that
we all have the bends from it.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I'm very worried.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I'm so worried that there's going to be this like huge,
you know, cratering of it because everyone's talking about the
AI bubble. It's like things are bad enough out there
right now. If then if the rich people lose money,
well then it really gets bad for everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
We'll do like the SNL s get be like I'm
Randy Bauman on the radio.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Like, by the way, very funny sketch on SNL, one
of the funnies in a couple of years. I hope
that this portends good things for them, because I mean
I always root for SNL, but it gets there. It's
got a lot of hater aid going on right now.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It always has hater ad every season. Every cast member
on SNL says that they always get hate that they
have the most unfunny season, right that every time, Like
even when Bill Hayter was on that you know, they
always tell you you've got the worst season. It used
to be funny until you guys got here, and then
as soon as time passes like that was actually pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I bet that SNL is gonna have their own AI scandal. Eventually,
someone's going to be accused of using AI to write
a sketch, and they might be doing it already who knows,
I don't know. I mean, our industry uses AI all
the time, not just for iHeart though.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
We got we got a corporate email that was sent
that was telling us, hey, just a reminder this company.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Does not use well very specifically. That was written by
a computer, of course, that is running this entire thing. Yes,
iHeart is run by a big computer with a tie.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
There were lots of misspellings and for some reason that
email did not have his pants on.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Michael, have your sports as we're getting ready for Steelers
Bears Sunday one o'clock kickoff, Jeff Conko will be joining
us as well. Merril Hodge, Tank, Brett keesel pft Common
are more coming up on DV streaming.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
On all your devices.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
No matter where I go, I always listened to DV.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Comedy, sports and the rock you grew up with. Save
DVE as a pre set on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
From the Bridgeville appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
DV sports Steelers choice Mike Persuda has got your sports
right now here. On the DV Morning Show Mike Steelers
Bears Sunday one o'clock and Mike Tomlin were colecting on
the week that was yesterday in his weekly press conference.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Also the update everybody was waiting on regarding Aaron Rodgers sports.
This hour brought to you by Bridgeal Appliance. It was
an update of sorts from Mike Tomlin yesterday. But if
he's been paying attention to Mike Tomlin at all during
these past nineteen years, you probably weren't expecting a hard
and fast decision he's playing or he's not playing. As
it turns out, regarding Aaron Rodgers and the Bears, it's
(21:28):
wait and see.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Aaron's got a fracture in his wrist. It does not
require surgery. Really is just about bracing it and securing
it for his comfort and safety. And then it's about
how functional he is. And so we don't have the
answers to that as we say in here today, but
(21:52):
certainly I would imagine we will get some clarity as
we push through the week. I think his experience really
kind of aids in that he's the type of guy
and has the type of profile. It doesn't require a
lot of physical work and an effort to be ready
to play, and that's helpful.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah, it's been at this a while so he doesn't
need to practice, but he does need to show them
at some point that he can function, and that might
not happen until Friday.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
A little later in the week, we'll take a look
at Aaron, and again, as I mentioned, the variables are
stabilizing it and making sure that he's safe and he
can protect himself, brace himself as he falls, et cetera.
Pain tolerance, but that doesn't seem to be an issue
with Aaron. He wanted to go back in the game
(22:44):
on Sunday, and then lastly, obviously how effective he can be.
And so you know, Friday's probably a big day in
terms of some of those things. I know he's working
his tail off to to be a component of this
this week. He and I talked yesterday. He expressed that directly,
(23:06):
I'm of the mindset of supporting that, while at the
same time, I got a healthy collective of guys as
a team and as a unit to ready.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
And that what includes Mason, Rudolph and Will Howard. Got
to get those guys ready just in case Rogers can't play.
I don't think it'd be the worst thing in the
world at all. Rogers does not play against the Bears,
In fact, I would be in favor of airing on
the side of caution here if that's how you have
to frame it to Rogers, Yes, but I think he
could use a week off quite frankly well.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I also think that the narrative of he owns the
Bears is not anything that carries weight any longer. I
know he's gone in there and owned them in other
parts of his career, but relative to where he is
in his career now, with the team that he's on
right now, that's a big difference. So I don't put
any weight in any stock in the idea you have
(24:01):
to play Aaron Rodgers against the Bears.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Here's my question to you, Mike.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Let's say you put it like this, if his wrist
means one fumble snap exchange, Nope, that's not good enough.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Not acceptable. Yeah, that could decide the game.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
And don't you think it's likely that that's where they
are right now? I mean this early on because that
broken wrist. I know Terry Bradshaw played with a broken
wrist for like three weeks at the end of one
of the seasons. But they're all different, right, Like you know,
the Packers Bears thing doesn't apply at all.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
The Steelers are I think one and twelve in Chicago, which, yeah,
do they balance each other out?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
I mean, well, the games they lost to two thousand
and three in nineteen sixty nine, I don't think those
apply either.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yes, it's Sunday Night.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
It's it's a two teams that have been turnover reliant
when they're at their best, and flawed, but horseful enough
to win games. I think at close games coming up,
I want a quarterback who's healthy and functional, and Mason
Rudolph is that.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yes, he doesn't.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
You don't have to beat Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen
this game. You just got to beat the.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Bears fundamental, boring football on a do it run the ball,
stop them from running, and make sure they turn it
over more times than you do.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Is Deander Swift hurt for them?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Was so they got two runs, they run the crap
out of it. They're very good at running. They'll be
threeish trick plays from Ben Johnson that you can't get
suckered on. And you got to make Caleb Williams stay
in the pocket and beat you on script because he's
probably not gonna be.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Able to do that.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah, check those boxes should be good.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Tomlin seemed ornery yesterday. I mean he always seems ornery,
but yesterday, like to a degree, but yesterday he really
seemed I'm not sure what ticked him off so much.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
I think it's on who's asking the questions. Quite frankly, Yeah,
sometimes he's very welcoming and sometimes he's very kurt.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
That last question, when he's like, what's your question? How
do you balance that? He thoughtfully thank you and then
walked off. I'm like, well, I was done that.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
You know, You've gone on for the required time talking
about how great the Bears are and took a few questions,
filled the allotted TV spot in.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
A twenty eight minute segment. Each and every week have
better things to do.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
It was interesting to hear Tomlin's response about Jalen Ramsey
and you guys were kicking this around a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
There will be apparently no advice coming from Mike Tomlin
regarding how Ramsey should handle himself if such a situation arises.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Again, I have no message of someone sits in your
face natural, Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I don't think that's something you admonish him for. Also,
you got away from it. There is a little part
of me that agrees with the caller of like time
and place and having presence of mind. But I think
that everybody agrees. It's hard to keep your head when
somebody spits on you. Yeah, offending like they that player
should be gone as well.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
And I almost feel like it should be.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
If we're talking about yesterday, a special team, We're going
in and just spitting on your best player and then
he just you know, goes rampage on them, and then
your guy gets kicked out, and there no name gets
kicked out. It should be a player of equal caliber.
They should use Chris collins Worth's PFF rating for that.
Oh well, you took the number five guy in his position,
so we're gonna take the number five guy at.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Your team's position.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
I've been thinking about that a lot since Sunday and
then hearing Tom I didn't necessarily appreciate Tomlin's response yesterday.
I think what needs to happen is a conversation with Look,
I get it, I get why it happened. I get
why you did what you did. You can't do this anymore.
Next time it might be a playoff game. Yeah, you
(27:57):
gotta walk away.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Because he did identify is somebody that you can get
under his skin. You know, everything short of spitting on
him was still getting to him.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
I mean, people had a pretty good idea to begin
with regarding that stuff, but he's just confirmed it.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
His reputation did precede him, no question.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And you can't count on the referees to I mean,
that was hard to see. I'm not blaming the referees,
no the video, but you know what, she did see
enough of it that it absolutely happened.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Jeans Sarator said on the show yesterday that they could
have reviewed that if they would have seen the spit.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yeah, they could have like queued the.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Refs from New York and said, like, hey man, he
spit on him. I didn't realize that you can't do
that for anything. You can't do that when you're reviewing
any other kind of penalty.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Well, they can do whatever they want. They just make
it up as they That is true. But if you're
looking see they're doing that.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
I mean, they have protocols in place for how they're
supposed to use replay assystem that and they go away
from it.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
It just they just do what they do in the moment.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Well, they always say you can't find another penalty when
you're reviewing one, right if the guy you're you're reviewing
whether they got the line to gain, you can't see
somebody was off sides to be.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Like it doesn't holding or yes, I have not seen
that happen yet.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
The injury stuff beyond Aaron Rodgers, Alex high Smith limited
at the outset of this week with his peck Keishawn
Williams is in the concussion protocol. Darius Slay Tomlin assumed
or imagined is on the other side of the protocol,
and he said that Slay would start ahead of James Pierre,
but James Pierre will also play. I don't know if
(29:30):
we're finessing how they they're handling Darius Slay here or not,
but I've seen enough of Darius Slay that I would
like somebody else to play. If it's not James Pierre,
then it should be a Sante Samuel.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
A Santa Samuel, I hope is capable as as you know,
they're saying he might be here given the back surgery
and everything. When it comes to Slay and Pierre, while
I think Slay is cooked, I'm not willing to just
crown Pierre as having arrived after one good game.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Correct and correct.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
I'm right with you, which is why I think Samuel's
the guy long term for that position.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
It's just how quickly can he get up to speed? Right?
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Optimistic on Jalen Warren and Cole Holcombe. The Jamar Chase
suspension was upheld by the NFL yesterday.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Jordan Nelson was.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
The reviewing officer who upheld the Chase's one game suspension.
So hoping nice and rested for the Ravens when he
gets back from that one game.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Okay, So that's all done with, It's over, okay, right,
I thought that was going on today.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
There is some pirate news if you want to get
to it on the other side of the well, let's
do that. Let's do that.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Let's take a commercial break because I know Paul Skens
gave an interview yesterday and it's h interesting stuff there.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Also, abb you will have your news coming up at
the top of the hour.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
If you feel like the cold weather is making you
gain weight, research says it is not.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Your fault, mister.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Wednesday, Jeff Conkle will be joining us US Live in
studio at seven o'clock a little bit later today, Meryl Hodge,
dang Brett Keesel PFT commenter, and more coming on.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Take Yourself at Home the Red Carpentreatment Hut. Michelle Michaels
is your host for the All Request the Electric Lunch
at noon.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Hey, Michelle, I got a good one for the lunch.
Great ideas on one O two point five.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Dv go con Chinnar from South Park Mitsubishi.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
The Black Friday Sales event starts now.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
We're offering thousands in discounts. Jeff Conko will be in
studio with us year in about twelve minutes hanging out.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
We've got Meryl Hodge, dang Brett Kezel PFT commenter still
to come. Interesting news yesterday that we didn't get to
regarding the Pirates. Mike and I say interesting because how
many times are we going to fall for the banana
and the tailpipe?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Well? Maybe one more? I mean fall for it. Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
I don't know if I'm falling for it, but I
think it's interesting when a national guy with the cachet
of Jeff passing a ESPN wrights several things about the
Pirates in November, including that they were quote primed to
spend on Seattle first basement outfielder Josh Naylor before he
(32:11):
reupted with the Mariners for five years and ninety two
point five million dollars. That they are in on Kyle Schwarber,
who's a free agent who hit fifty six home runs
and drove in a hundred and thirty two last season.
That they are in on a couple of Japanese bats
that are prepared to come across the ocean and maybe
(32:34):
become the next well not the next show, hey Otani
is now because they don't pitch.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
But I don't know. I think about these guys.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
But Munataka Murakami and Kazuma Akamoto.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Pittsburgh's will mangle those if those oh my god, those
names will get mangled.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
They're both third basement first baseman who reportedly can hit
the crap out of it. And also the Pirates are,
according to passing quote, strongly considering a quote letting nineteen
year old Connor Griffin battle for the shortstop job.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Well, that that I think they have to do. There
hasn't been even if it's at the kids peril in development.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
There hasn't been a teenage player to debut in Major
League baseball since Juan Soto in twenty eighteen. But all
of this implies that they are actually going to try
for a change. And I wonder if the recent Paul
skeen story, which he apparently denied with Dan Patrick, that
he has told teammates he wants to get traded to
(33:31):
the Yankees and he realizes the tope was here, could
that have possibly been the final embarrassment straw that actually
reached Bob Nutting well? Or is this just all leaking
some stuff saying hey, we're trying, and then they'll leave
it at that.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Well, first, I'm going to play the Paul Skenes clip
real quick from the Dan Patrick Show, and then I
want to address what you just said about could this
indicate that they're finally trying.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
You don't get used to losing, but you lose a lot.
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Where you go from winning a national championship, now you
know you're losing one hundred games. How does that affect
you or how do you try not to let that
affect you?
Speaker 9 (34:11):
Yeah, I mean it's it's tough. It's a you know,
a huge adjustment because you know, all I've done, the
Air Force is the winningest organization in the world, and
then I got to LSU and I win a national
championship and then obviously I haven't had two great years
team wise in Pittsburgh. So it's been an adjustment. It's
(34:31):
you know, it's tough to not shove up to the
field every day and be better sometimes, especially when it's
you know, we're on a seven eight game skid. I
think it, you know, I think it just comes down
to being a professional. I've learned more and more how
to do that and just be the you know, be
the same person every day. I'm still learning how to
(34:54):
do that. So but yeah, it's I mean, it is
energizing to to think about what it could be if
and if and when we do win. So that's the
that's the thing that gets me out of bed.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
But that's how you get these stories that come out,
because you know, can you put up with this with
your talent? And that's how that report comes out that
if it was a true report or a rumor. But
how do you deal with that that anonymous player says
that you hope to be traded to the Yankees?
Speaker 9 (35:26):
Yeah, I mean I was frustrated for a couple hours
and then and then you know, kind of got over
it and talked to the media later that night. You know,
it is what it is. There's stuff that's going to
come out, you know, good and bad. It's you know,
obviously it's it's not true. I think the hardest part
(35:47):
of leading air Force for me was, you know, we
had just want a conference championship, the first one in
the school's history, and you know, didn't and if we
built that and it felt like there was unfinished you know,
work that needed to be done. So that's how it
feels right now.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Okay, So he says it's not true now, which he
didn't say the first time, did not and I think
he was kind of coach that, Hey, FYI, you never
denied it.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
So I think that absolutely happened.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Yeah, I think it's easy for the pirates to look
like they're trying.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
And not be really trying.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Well, it's big differencely being in on a guy and
actually being in on Josh Naylor.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Committing the let's say, ninety two point five million dollars, Okay,
do we know that that's what they were committing.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
If they're committing to pay him eighty seven point eight,
that's not going to be close enough.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
They know it.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
And even if they get close to what the Mariners
are offering. He doesn't want to come play here. And
that's the big if he if they did match that offer,
if they were competitive, he doesn't want to come play here.
Why is Kyle Schwarber going to want to come play
for the Pirates?
Speaker 6 (36:59):
Because I think the pitching's real, and I think if
I'm Kyle Schwarber and they're giving me the same money
as somebody else, I might be thinking, Hey, I could
be the guy.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I could be the piece that changes it. I mean,
I can't imagine.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
I think their pitching is real, and I think baseball
people think their pitching is real.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
So how many bats would it take? And what quality
of bat?
Speaker 6 (37:26):
If you had fifty two home runs and one hundred
and thirty two RBI, what kind of impact does that
have if you had a nineteen year old shortstop who
can actually play.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I hope, I hope that's all true, Mike, But it
just I have seen this fish before from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
But have you have you heard this one that they're
actually trying to get these guys?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Yeah? Yes, I don't.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Recall here and they were in on I'm blanket on
the Mets guy. So no the first basement.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Oh Alonzo, Pete Alonzo, which they should have been right,
but I didn't hear what I really want.
Speaker 6 (38:06):
Again, we all speculated he'd be a perfect fit, but
I never heard it was even a remote possible.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
I think this is different.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
No, it's not.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
It doesn't change anything. It's just speculation. But again, Jeff Passing,
I believe the initial story that Randy Miller wrote about
Skeens wanting out because I've known Randy forever. He's been
on this show many times. I know how he does
his job, and I believe him.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
I believe that he was told that no question.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
Also, Skeens kind of gave us a little insight there
when he talked about leaving air Force for LSU. If
he loves the Air Force, he wants to go into
the military when he finishes baseball.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Why didn't you stay.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
At air Force because you weren't winning a national championship
at Air Force. You went to the Yankees of college baseball.
We've already established who you are, and I'm not going to.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Complained. I want a guy that wants to win the
whole thing too. Yeah, and I want a guy.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
Who's gonna be pissed if his organization is not wanting
to win as badly as he is wanting to win. Right,
But I'm saying with this pitching staff, it's all our arguments.
Why don't they just do a little more? Now, this
would be doing a lot more. But you don't have
to go get eight guys. You get one or two,
and then if Griffin is who they think he is,
(39:26):
it's a different ballgame.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Abby's got your news when we return.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
So if you feel like you're gaining weight as soon
as the weather gets cold, apparently that's not your fault.

Jeff Conkle joins us in studio with mister Wednesday when
we come back, Merril Hodge, Dang, Brett kezel p andt
comment Oran More.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by your Neighborhood for its store and Steelers
Pro shop.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
Here's Tom Opferman.
Speaker 10 (39:57):
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media yesterday for
his weekly conference, and he shed some light on some
of the injury issues plaguing the Steelers first and foremost.
When it comes to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tomack confirmed
that it was a small fracture in his left for
wrist and that the injury will not require surgery. Rogers
has been classified as day to day and will not
practice today, yielding first team reps to quarterback Mason Rudolph
(40:17):
as the team begins to prep for the Chicago Bears.
Elsewhere on the injury front, alex Higsmith, who missed last
week's game with a peck injury, will begin this week
in a limited capacity but has a chance to play Sunday.
The same can be said about running back Jalen Warren
and inside linebacker Cole Holcomb, who coach Tomlin is optimistic
when it comes to their participation Sunday, but will also
begin the week in.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
A limited manner.
Speaker 10 (40:39):
Cornerback Darius Slay has cleared the concussion protocol and will
return to the practice field today and also returned to
his starting spot in the defense. Coach Thomak confirmed that
yesterday at his press conference, and this is in spite
of the fact that cornerback James Pierre has been more
than impressive while filling in in Sligh's absence the past
couple of weeks. I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report.

My dad, if you saw anybody with a tattoo above
their shoulders, would be like that guy, I'll never get
a job in a bank. And like now you are
getting bank loans from people who have tattoos under their eyes.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yes? Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
My point with that is always like, what makes you
think that guy wants to work in a bank like
that never hurt jelled to me?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
What it's going to break his heart? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He always had the vision of being CFO.

Of Morgan Stanley And now the next tattoo ruined that Plath.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
That's so normal. Now going and you're like, I have

to let it go there is we have mister Wednesday.
Jeff Conkle will be popping in today and hanging with us.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
We'll join the program at eight forty five. He's got
a big charity event going on that he wants to
tell you about, but I want him to weigh in
on Spitgate and everything that's going on right now.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh my god, do you think any players ever spit
on him before?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
No? I do not.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I do not because he would be in jail.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yes, he would have swallowed them. Yeah, like that muppet
that ran out and put people in its mouth, like
entire people. That's how Keesel would have responded to that. Also,
PFT commenters coming up at nine point fifteen today from
Barstool Sports, part in My take and Mike Pursuit of
course with your sports as we get ready for.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Steelers Bears on this hump day.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Coach Tomlin talking to the media yesterday, and I think
the quote that stands out is basically the one when asked,
you know what he said to Jalen Ramsey, which was,
you know, essentially I'm paraphrasing here, you know nothing. If
somebody spits on you, you know, do what you gotta do.
I mean, I know, spitting on someone is bad, But
(02:24):
it is interesting to see everybody fall in line with
the oh yes, no, you could stab a man in
the heart if he spits on you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The reality in football is you can get away with violence.
It's in the game. Yeah, and you.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Can't be gross.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, I don't like even thinking about it. With like
a fight with your siblings. They can punch you, yeah,
they can pull your hair, sure, like you can get
a hit in the nuts, like so much is permissible.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
They spit on you. You down and hover spit above
your head and then it dangles. No, anybody with a
big brother has been on the receiving end of one
of those, and it's the grossest thing.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
They're about to die, though.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
You're just looking up at contiguous spit coming out of
their mouth slowly like a spider crawling down until it
reaches the point that it weighs too heavy on the
bottom end, and the spit breaks from its contiguous core
and then drops down onto your head.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
There's a line that's crossed with body fluid. They're just
and I don't I again, it's never happened to me before,
but I can just imagine I was trying to put
myself I've put myself in Ramsey's position where I'm thinking,
like just the red like kill bill light would go on.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah, just.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Like all right, you're now you're about to get it
because it's just it's too gross.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's very gross.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's like violating in a way, you know. So I'm
just I get it. But with your siblings, can you
remember the last time that one of them hit you,
like like you hit back and it was the last time.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Oh my god, you're right in the middle, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But like my older brother Charlie still does this thing
where if he wants you to look at something, he
grabs your head and directs so he goes so like
you'll be sitting there at a wedding and then all
of a sudden you'll feel a hand around your neck
and you'll go look and then you're like, yeah, so,
I mean, I feel like I've been manhandled by him,
(04:35):
like and I continue to be yeah, but he's not.
It's just like he's like a mama dog who's picking
up the cubs always by the scruff, okay, you know,
and he doesn't realize I'm fifty st doing that.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
But it's been a minute for sure.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But I had brawls with my older brother, not Charlie
Gary when we were in our twenties, okay, like like
mid twenties, like throwing punches and you know what happens.
My younger brother and I never really got in too
many fights, like one fight one time and it was,
you know, very quickly snuffed out. But mostly it was
(05:17):
the two older brothers beating the hell out of me.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's what I mean, like the two older brothers. But
then did you have to disseminate the ass opens down
or did.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
There's a responsibility?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
But I had a sister, any younger brother was four
years younger than me. We were our families being ripped apart.
It was too I'm like, I also beat them up.
So I was like, I don't get to beat anybody up.
This sucks, But I know, I.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Just try psychological warfare.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I did that. I did. Yeah, I definitely tried to
torture them.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
But we had the four or the three of us
on the bottom end, had more in common with each
other than the three on the top. There was like
two separate course, so we had the same sensibilities of
like what was funny and what music we liked and stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But yeah, I don't remember spending. I'm sure I held
down my sister and did a lot of the.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, it's kinda have happened.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I'm sure it did. I don't remember. It wasn't any
time recent.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But okay, my sister is only eighteen months older than me, right, So,
like the torture and like the physical like just ass
whooping is like very fresh in my mind. Like I
don't know when we stopped actually physically fighting, Like I mean,
I know when it was. But like I used to
get put in chicken wing. She used to do like
(06:32):
wrestling moves on me. And also she was doing like
horseback riding at a pretty young age. So she had
really strong thighs.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
She had lowered by, she had side crisby.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
She did, she really did, and so she could put
me in these wrestling moves and she would lock me
in her thighs and just like hold me like I
could not get out. Yeah, but I do remember the
last day that we fought and I punched her in
the ear or like I hit her in a way
(07:03):
that I cupped my hand just correctly, and I put
a hole in her ear drum. That's the last time
that she ever hit me. Ooh, and that was it,
like we were heal on or I think that it
did okay, eventually.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Anything that causes an actual surgery or something, that's when
it's like, oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Was like but then but then you know, the violence stopped.
That was the day that the violence ended.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, when you talked about the like wrestling moves, it
is remarkable that the couches we had growing up held
up because you should have thrown into those things like
turnbuckles all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Like it's your furniture damage. Can you think about it?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, I mean, I don't think it was. I mean
it was I'm sure it was gross. You know, there's
six kids, so yeah, I'm sure it was always nasty.
But I don't remember it structurally being messed up. But
I do mean I do remember being thrown into that
thing many many times.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Do you have the wood paneling on the corners?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
No, No, we didn't have one of those, but my
grandmother did, so you wouldn't have done it on those.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Those those ones are those will send you to the hospital.
Those heavy base ya for some reason.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
You know what they taste like those cushions.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
It's a really scratchy fabric on the top of them.
Now these were more like you know, value city furniture
couches that were probably two hundred and fifty dollars that
my dad could just you know, interchange relatively, you know, easily.
But I remember being thrown into it NonStop. I remember
(08:33):
being farted on on that couch a lot. But boy,
the spit. Getting back to the original point, yes, when
it got to the point of a dangling spit, there
was never any just somebody.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Although food, yes.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Like if there was like if there were, if you
had like if you were eating potato chips or something
and somebody was being annoy you could, yeah, just do
one of those.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, but not at no, No, like.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Pulling out a big louga and spitting on So that
would be disgusting.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Not that Jamar Chase lugied.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And I do think there's a distinction, by the way,
I think in a court of law you would get
less of a sentence for just a saliva spit versus.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
A lugi spit. A lugi spit is taking it to
an all new level.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
There's viscosity exactly, and then a germ factor that goes
above and beyond so Jamar Chase he is appealing. Yeah,
he's gonna appeal because he said that if he wanted
to spit on him, he would have spit in his
face and not on his uniform. Because he kind of spit.
(09:37):
It didn't hit Jamar Chase in the face or Jalen
Ramsey in the face.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
But there was a helmet that the aim would have
had to be very precise.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Like, come on, I agree. I don't think it's going
to hold up in court.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I don't think so either. Did you like the actual punishment?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Dold though, fine, because I don't want it to be
two games because I want him to play against the
Ravens the week after that. I completely agree, So fine
with it. And Ramon Foster is one of the governing
bodies determining whether or not that appeal will hold up.
I think one game is going to stick and he's
going to be out next week. Good so, and then
we get to watch him on Thanksgiving Night against the.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Ravens and I hope he gets banked.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
There's good games on Thanksgiving Day.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, they're decent. I actually this is one of the
first years that I kind of went we were going through,
especially all the halftime shows that are going to happen
to I'm like, this is actually going to be pretty fun.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah, all right, what's going on over there?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
News This hour is brought to you by your neighborhood
Ford Store, Clouds with brightening sky following that, and then
peaks of sunshine High fifty. As they celebrate their forty
fifth anniversary, Motley Crue announced a massive return of the
Carnival of Sins tour, which will traverse North America in
twenty twenty six, including a stop at the Pavilion at
Start Lake. And that's going to be on July the seventeenth.
(10:53):
The band last visited Pittsburgh in August of twenty two,
where they played a huge PNC Park show with def Leppard, Poison,
and Joan Jets.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I can't remember did you go to that?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I definitely did not see.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Somebody who had. Somebody went to it that we talk
a Madden.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
The starleag Date's gonna mark the opening show of this
new tour, and it's also gonna feature Tesla and Extreme
as special guests.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I don't know what he's got left in the tank,
you know, Convince Neil sing some singers have rehabilitated their voices,
like Roger Daltrey, and then there are guys like who
have real damage, like John bon Jovi, who is trying
desperately and doing like there is no question John bon
Jovi is absolutely busting his ass trying to get back
onto a stage, right Vince Neil after the stroke, I'm
(11:46):
not sure how hard he's working. I don't know how
much it affected his voice. Sometimes strokes have very severe
effects on people's voices.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
He was already.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Struggling before the stroke, was like, it looks to me
like with him, it's a simple matter of that guy
does not take care of himself and has never tried
to have like a regimen to take care of his voice.
I'm just finishing up Geddy Lee's biography right now, and
(12:16):
the amount of stuff he did for his voice later
in his career, especially which is where all the damage
you know, a cruise and then you really have to
take care of it. I mean, Geddy Lee used to
smoke cigarettes and do cocaine and sing like he would
go off stage and do cocaine and with that nose,
(12:37):
I mean, imagine how much blows a lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Coke can go up that nose. I didn't know he
was a drug guy.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
He didn't think it was a big deal. It was
of the time.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It was the seventies and everybody early eighty, everybody was
doing coke everywhere, and they just thought it was like, hey,
this is actually a performance enhancing drug here because touring
is so rough, and so he would like go off
stage during one of Alex's solo just like lean off stage,
and they'd have like a line of coke for him
and a cigarette, and then he would go back out
(13:07):
and sing. And then he was like later in life,
you realize because they were Rush was very young when
they broke, very young, Like I think they had their
first hit when he was like twenty one. Wow, maybe twenty,
so you know, when you're younger, you can abuse the
hell out of it. But he got, you know, comes
around thirty and he's like, you have you can't do
(13:28):
any of that anymore. And it's taking care of your
voice because there's there's sixteen thousand people who paid to
see the show and it is all hinging on your voice.
I don't know if Vince Neil ever took the care
or thought of it that way. And then he just
you know, we've been making fun of his voice, but
like you listen to those the early stuff. I mean,
(13:48):
he could sing, you know when they covered Helter Skelter
on Shout at the Devil.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Win stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So it's not like you know what I mean. Yeah,
it's not Bruce Dickenson or anything like that, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And he like moves off of the higher notes quickly,
and anybody who does like that effect on their voice
to give it a little bit of scratch. If you
do it without.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Care, rips up your vocal cords.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It rips it to shreds. And then you get you know, older,
and those those effects just aren't there anymore. And that
ability isn't there anymore, right because you can't vibrate your
chords in the same way anymore.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
How how many dates are on this tour for Motley Crew, Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Let me see if I have it, you know, and
I don't have it Handy in the.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Art A lot, it's a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I can always do a lot because they overdo it.
I mean, even the idea of them doing a residency
was a lot. But him having a stroke, like you,
kind of personified him. While he's never been a guy
who's really taking care of his health anyway, but also
as a vocalist. The best way I could describe his
approach is I would not say that he's a curious guy.
(15:14):
You know, there are certain seekers who vocally they always
want to improve and they treat their voice as an instrument.
We've seen video of him backstage of how he warms
up and he gives it one big scream and then
he goes out there.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Oh is that what he does? So there are thirty
three dates on the tour. I will say though, that
the picture that they're using the promotional picture for this tour,
he looks really thin, and I think that can only
help them.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
So let's hope that they make it through that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
It'll give him more breath work for sure, which is good.
General on sale is going to be nine am on Friday.
There is a little thing here where each ticket sold
a dollar is going to go to ASAP, which is
an after school art program that Motley Crue is involved in.
They have like a give back initiative, so that another
little bonus there. But Motley dot com is where you can.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Get and that's starlik.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, it is gonna be starlink okay, which, by the way,
you brought up Motley Crue. There was actually this article
that I saw yesterday where Doc McGee was talking about
bon Jovi.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Did you see AIA asset, Doc.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
McGee old Doc McGhee, No, he was talking about I
think this was at the the Kiss Cruz Landlocked thing
that they did. They also did just a Vegas event
recently where he was talking about certain bands that would
have made it and bands that wouldn't per his experience
(16:43):
as a manager, and he said Motley Crue is one
of the bands that would have made it because of
how infectious just the branding was, how visually stunning they were,
and how kids gravitated to it immediately, but that bon
Jovi is a band that never would have made it
today because they don't do three album deals anymore. It's
(17:07):
you've got one shot. You've got to come out of
the gate. You have to have the look immediately, you
have to have a single, you have to play He
actually said that, or I'm sorry, Rather bon Jovi wouldn't
have made it because it took too long for them
to get to slippery one way.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well, because it had that had a bunch of hits
on it totally.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
He said that everybody's doing these one single deals now
and they have one hundred and eighty seven thousand songs
that go to Spotify every single day, and it's just
that there's.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
No way how many of those are AI well.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Great point, you know, So there's just no way for
bands to get through that. And the way I found
the quote here, it said, we used to have an
ecosystem that allowed everybody to live like a reef. The
managers could only do so much and eat so many
of the fish, and the publisher could only eat so
many of the fish. But we kept the reef alive.
And now the corporate world has come in here and
killed the reef. So he's just kind of like, there's
(18:09):
no way. That is a good metaphor for it all,
or analogy or whatever it is. But it's such a mess.
I don't know how it gets fixed. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I mean, but I think that this is going on
across the board right now in corporations, in every industry,
is that the technology zoomed past everybody so fast that
we all have the bends from it.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I'm very worried.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I'm so worried that there's going to be this like huge,
you know, cratering of it because everyone's talking about the
AI bubble. It's like things are bad enough out there
right now. If then if the rich people lose money,
well then it really gets bad for everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
We'll do like the SNL s get be like I'm
Randy Bauman on the radio.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Like, by the way, very funny sketch on SNL, one
of the funnies in a couple of years. I hope
that this portends good things for them, because I mean
I always root for SNL, but it gets there. It's
got a lot of hater aid going on right now.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It always has hater ad every season. Every cast member
on SNL says that they always get hate that they
have the most unfunny season, right that every time, Like
even when Bill Hayter was on that you know, they
always tell you you've got the worst season. It used
to be funny until you guys got here, and then
as soon as time passes like that was actually pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I bet that SNL is gonna have their own AI scandal. Eventually,
someone's going to be accused of using AI to write
a sketch, and they might be doing it already who knows,
I don't know. I mean, our industry uses AI all
the time, not just for iHeart though.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
We got we got a corporate email that was sent
that was telling us, hey, just a reminder this company.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Does not use well very specifically. That was written by
a computer, of course, that is running this entire thing. Yes,
iHeart is run by a big computer with a tie.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
There were lots of misspellings and for some reason that
email did not have his pants on.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Michael, have your sports as we're getting ready for Steelers
Bears Sunday one o'clock kickoff, Jeff Conko will be joining
us as well. Merril Hodge, Tank, Brett keesel pft Common
are more coming up on DV streaming.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
On all your devices.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
No matter where I go, I always listened to DV.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Comedy, sports and the rock you grew up with. Save
DVE as a pre set on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
From the Bridgeville appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
DV sports Steelers choice Mike Persuda has got your sports
right now here. On the DV Morning Show Mike Steelers
Bears Sunday one o'clock and Mike Tomlin were colecting on
the week that was yesterday in his weekly press conference.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Also the update everybody was waiting on regarding Aaron Rodgers sports.
This hour brought to you by Bridgeal Appliance. It was
an update of sorts from Mike Tomlin yesterday. But if
he's been paying attention to Mike Tomlin at all during
these past nineteen years, you probably weren't expecting a hard
and fast decision he's playing or he's not playing. As
it turns out, regarding Aaron Rodgers and the Bears, it's
(21:28):
wait and see.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Aaron's got a fracture in his wrist. It does not
require surgery. Really is just about bracing it and securing
it for his comfort and safety. And then it's about
how functional he is. And so we don't have the
answers to that as we say in here today, but
(21:52):
certainly I would imagine we will get some clarity as
we push through the week. I think his experience really
kind of aids in that he's the type of guy
and has the type of profile. It doesn't require a
lot of physical work and an effort to be ready
to play, and that's helpful.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah, it's been at this a while so he doesn't
need to practice, but he does need to show them
at some point that he can function, and that might
not happen until Friday.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
A little later in the week, we'll take a look
at Aaron, and again, as I mentioned, the variables are
stabilizing it and making sure that he's safe and he
can protect himself, brace himself as he falls, et cetera.
Pain tolerance, but that doesn't seem to be an issue
with Aaron. He wanted to go back in the game
(22:44):
on Sunday, and then lastly, obviously how effective he can be.
And so you know, Friday's probably a big day in
terms of some of those things. I know he's working
his tail off to to be a component of this
this week. He and I talked yesterday. He expressed that directly,
(23:06):
I'm of the mindset of supporting that, while at the
same time, I got a healthy collective of guys as
a team and as a unit to ready.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
And that what includes Mason, Rudolph and Will Howard. Got
to get those guys ready just in case Rogers can't play.
I don't think it'd be the worst thing in the
world at all. Rogers does not play against the Bears,
In fact, I would be in favor of airing on
the side of caution here if that's how you have
to frame it to Rogers, Yes, but I think he
could use a week off quite frankly well.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I also think that the narrative of he owns the
Bears is not anything that carries weight any longer. I
know he's gone in there and owned them in other
parts of his career, but relative to where he is
in his career now, with the team that he's on
right now, that's a big difference. So I don't put
any weight in any stock in the idea you have
(24:01):
to play Aaron Rodgers against the Bears.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Here's my question to you, Mike.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Let's say you put it like this, if his wrist
means one fumble snap exchange, Nope, that's not good enough.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Not acceptable. Yeah, that could decide the game.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
And don't you think it's likely that that's where they
are right now? I mean this early on because that
broken wrist. I know Terry Bradshaw played with a broken
wrist for like three weeks at the end of one
of the seasons. But they're all different, right, Like you know,
the Packers Bears thing doesn't apply at all.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
The Steelers are I think one and twelve in Chicago, which, yeah,
do they balance each other out?
Speaker 6 (24:46):
I mean, well, the games they lost to two thousand
and three in nineteen sixty nine, I don't think those
apply either.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yes, it's Sunday Night.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
It's it's a two teams that have been turnover reliant
when they're at their best, and flawed, but horseful enough
to win games. I think at close games coming up,
I want a quarterback who's healthy and functional, and Mason
Rudolph is that.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yes, he doesn't.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
You don't have to beat Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen
this game. You just got to beat the.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Bears fundamental, boring football on a do it run the ball,
stop them from running, and make sure they turn it
over more times than you do.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Is Deander Swift hurt for them?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Was so they got two runs, they run the crap
out of it. They're very good at running. They'll be
threeish trick plays from Ben Johnson that you can't get
suckered on. And you got to make Caleb Williams stay
in the pocket and beat you on script because he's
probably not gonna be.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Able to do that.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah, check those boxes should be good.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Tomlin seemed ornery yesterday. I mean he always seems ornery,
but yesterday, like to a degree, but yesterday he really
seemed I'm not sure what ticked him off so much.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
I think it's on who's asking the questions. Quite frankly, Yeah,
sometimes he's very welcoming and sometimes he's very kurt.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
That last question, when he's like, what's your question? How
do you balance that? He thoughtfully thank you and then
walked off. I'm like, well, I was done that.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
You know, You've gone on for the required time talking
about how great the Bears are and took a few questions,
filled the allotted TV spot in.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
A twenty eight minute segment. Each and every week have
better things to do.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
It was interesting to hear Tomlin's response about Jalen Ramsey
and you guys were kicking this around a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
There will be apparently no advice coming from Mike Tomlin
regarding how Ramsey should handle himself if such a situation arises.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Again, I have no message of someone sits in your
face natural, Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I don't think that's something you admonish him for. Also,
you got away from it. There is a little part
of me that agrees with the caller of like time
and place and having presence of mind. But I think
that everybody agrees. It's hard to keep your head when
somebody spits on you. Yeah, offending like they that player
should be gone as well.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
And I almost feel like it should be.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
If we're talking about yesterday, a special team, We're going
in and just spitting on your best player and then
he just you know, goes rampage on them, and then
your guy gets kicked out, and there no name gets
kicked out. It should be a player of equal caliber.
They should use Chris collins Worth's PFF rating for that.
Oh well, you took the number five guy in his position,
so we're gonna take the number five guy at.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Your team's position.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
I've been thinking about that a lot since Sunday and
then hearing Tom I didn't necessarily appreciate Tomlin's response yesterday.
I think what needs to happen is a conversation with Look,
I get it, I get why it happened. I get
why you did what you did. You can't do this anymore.
Next time it might be a playoff game. Yeah, you
(27:57):
gotta walk away.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Because he did identify is somebody that you can get
under his skin. You know, everything short of spitting on
him was still getting to him.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
I mean, people had a pretty good idea to begin
with regarding that stuff, but he's just confirmed it.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
His reputation did precede him, no question.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And you can't count on the referees to I mean,
that was hard to see. I'm not blaming the referees,
no the video, but you know what, she did see
enough of it that it absolutely happened.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Jeans Sarator said on the show yesterday that they could
have reviewed that if they would have seen the spit.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yeah, they could have like queued the.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Refs from New York and said, like, hey man, he
spit on him. I didn't realize that you can't do
that for anything. You can't do that when you're reviewing
any other kind of penalty.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Well, they can do whatever they want. They just make
it up as they That is true. But if you're
looking see they're doing that.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
I mean, they have protocols in place for how they're
supposed to use replay assystem that and they go away
from it.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
It just they just do what they do in the moment.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Well, they always say you can't find another penalty when
you're reviewing one, right if the guy you're you're reviewing
whether they got the line to gain, you can't see
somebody was off sides to be.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Like it doesn't holding or yes, I have not seen
that happen yet.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
The injury stuff beyond Aaron Rodgers, Alex high Smith limited
at the outset of this week with his peck Keishawn
Williams is in the concussion protocol. Darius Slay Tomlin assumed
or imagined is on the other side of the protocol,
and he said that Slay would start ahead of James Pierre,
but James Pierre will also play. I don't know if
(29:30):
we're finessing how they they're handling Darius Slay here or not,
but I've seen enough of Darius Slay that I would
like somebody else to play. If it's not James Pierre,
then it should be a Sante Samuel.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
A Santa Samuel, I hope is capable as as you know,
they're saying he might be here given the back surgery
and everything. When it comes to Slay and Pierre, while
I think Slay is cooked, I'm not willing to just
crown Pierre as having arrived after one good game.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Correct and correct.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
I'm right with you, which is why I think Samuel's
the guy long term for that position.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
It's just how quickly can he get up to speed? Right?
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Optimistic on Jalen Warren and Cole Holcombe. The Jamar Chase
suspension was upheld by the NFL yesterday.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Jordan Nelson was.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
The reviewing officer who upheld the Chase's one game suspension.
So hoping nice and rested for the Ravens when he
gets back from that one game.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Okay, So that's all done with, It's over, okay, right,
I thought that was going on today.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
There is some pirate news if you want to get
to it on the other side of the well, let's
do that. Let's do that.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Let's take a commercial break because I know Paul Skens
gave an interview yesterday and it's h interesting stuff there.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Also, abb you will have your news coming up at
the top of the hour.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
If you feel like the cold weather is making you
gain weight, research says it is not.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Your fault, mister.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Wednesday, Jeff Conkle will be joining us US Live in
studio at seven o'clock a little bit later today, Meryl Hodge,
dang Brett Keesel PFT commenter, and more coming on.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Take Yourself at Home the Red Carpentreatment Hut. Michelle Michaels
is your host for the All Request the Electric Lunch
at noon.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Hey, Michelle, I got a good one for the lunch.
Great ideas on one O two point five.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Dv go con Chinnar from South Park Mitsubishi.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
The Black Friday Sales event starts now.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
We're offering thousands in discounts. Jeff Conko will be in
studio with us year in about twelve minutes hanging out.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
We've got Meryl Hodge, dang Brett Kezel PFT commenter still
to come. Interesting news yesterday that we didn't get to
regarding the Pirates. Mike and I say interesting because how
many times are we going to fall for the banana
and the tailpipe?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Well? Maybe one more? I mean fall for it. Uh.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
I don't know if I'm falling for it, but I
think it's interesting when a national guy with the cachet
of Jeff passing a ESPN wrights several things about the
Pirates in November, including that they were quote primed to
spend on Seattle first basement outfielder Josh Naylor before he
(32:11):
reupted with the Mariners for five years and ninety two
point five million dollars. That they are in on Kyle Schwarber,
who's a free agent who hit fifty six home runs
and drove in a hundred and thirty two last season.
That they are in on a couple of Japanese bats
that are prepared to come across the ocean and maybe
(32:34):
become the next well not the next show, hey Otani
is now because they don't pitch.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
But I don't know. I think about these guys.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
But Munataka Murakami and Kazuma Akamoto.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Pittsburgh's will mangle those if those oh my god, those
names will get mangled.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
They're both third basement first baseman who reportedly can hit
the crap out of it. And also the Pirates are,
according to passing quote, strongly considering a quote letting nineteen
year old Connor Griffin battle for the shortstop job.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Well, that that I think they have to do. There
hasn't been even if it's at the kids peril in development.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
There hasn't been a teenage player to debut in Major
League baseball since Juan Soto in twenty eighteen. But all
of this implies that they are actually going to try
for a change. And I wonder if the recent Paul
skeen story, which he apparently denied with Dan Patrick, that
he has told teammates he wants to get traded to
(33:31):
the Yankees and he realizes the tope was here, could
that have possibly been the final embarrassment straw that actually
reached Bob Nutting well? Or is this just all leaking
some stuff saying hey, we're trying, and then they'll leave
it at that.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Well, first, I'm going to play the Paul Skenes clip
real quick from the Dan Patrick Show, and then I
want to address what you just said about could this
indicate that they're finally trying.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
You don't get used to losing, but you lose a lot.
Speaker 7 (34:00):
Where you go from winning a national championship, now you
know you're losing one hundred games. How does that affect
you or how do you try not to let that
affect you?
Speaker 9 (34:11):
Yeah, I mean it's it's tough. It's a you know,
a huge adjustment because you know, all I've done, the
Air Force is the winningest organization in the world, and
then I got to LSU and I win a national
championship and then obviously I haven't had two great years
team wise in Pittsburgh. So it's been an adjustment. It's
(34:31):
you know, it's tough to not shove up to the
field every day and be better sometimes, especially when it's
you know, we're on a seven eight game skid. I
think it, you know, I think it just comes down
to being a professional. I've learned more and more how
to do that and just be the you know, be
the same person every day. I'm still learning how to
(34:54):
do that. So but yeah, it's I mean, it is
energizing to to think about what it could be if
and if and when we do win. So that's the
that's the thing that gets me out of bed.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
But that's how you get these stories that come out,
because you know, can you put up with this with
your talent? And that's how that report comes out that
if it was a true report or a rumor. But
how do you deal with that that anonymous player says
that you hope to be traded to the Yankees?
Speaker 9 (35:26):
Yeah, I mean I was frustrated for a couple hours
and then and then you know, kind of got over
it and talked to the media later that night. You know,
it is what it is. There's stuff that's going to
come out, you know, good and bad. It's you know,
obviously it's it's not true. I think the hardest part
(35:47):
of leading air Force for me was, you know, we
had just want a conference championship, the first one in
the school's history, and you know, didn't and if we
built that and it felt like there was unfinished you know,
work that needed to be done. So that's how it
feels right now.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Okay, So he says it's not true now, which he
didn't say the first time, did not and I think
he was kind of coach that, Hey, FYI, you never
denied it.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
So I think that absolutely happened.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Yeah, I think it's easy for the pirates to look
like they're trying.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
And not be really trying.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Well, it's big differencely being in on a guy and
actually being in on Josh Naylor.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Committing the let's say, ninety two point five million dollars, Okay,
do we know that that's what they were committing.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
If they're committing to pay him eighty seven point eight,
that's not going to be close enough.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
They know it.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
And even if they get close to what the Mariners
are offering. He doesn't want to come play here. And
that's the big if he if they did match that offer,
if they were competitive, he doesn't want to come play here.
Why is Kyle Schwarber going to want to come play
for the Pirates?
Speaker 6 (36:59):
Because I think the pitching's real, and I think if
I'm Kyle Schwarber and they're giving me the same money
as somebody else, I might be thinking, Hey, I could
be the guy.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I could be the piece that changes it. I mean,
I can't imagine.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
I think their pitching is real, and I think baseball
people think their pitching is real.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
So how many bats would it take? And what quality
of bat?
Speaker 6 (37:26):
If you had fifty two home runs and one hundred
and thirty two RBI, what kind of impact does that
have if you had a nineteen year old shortstop who
can actually play.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I hope, I hope that's all true, Mike, But it
just I have seen this fish before from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
But have you have you heard this one that they're
actually trying to get these guys?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Yeah? Yes, I don't.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Recall here and they were in on I'm blanket on
the Mets guy. So no the first basement.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Oh Alonzo, Pete Alonzo, which they should have been right,
but I didn't hear what I really want.
Speaker 6 (38:06):
Again, we all speculated he'd be a perfect fit, but
I never heard it was even a remote possible.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
I think this is different.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
No, it's not.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
It doesn't change anything. It's just speculation. But again, Jeff Passing,
I believe the initial story that Randy Miller wrote about
Skeens wanting out because I've known Randy forever. He's been
on this show many times. I know how he does
his job, and I believe him.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
I believe that he was told that no question.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
Also, Skeens kind of gave us a little insight there
when he talked about leaving air Force for LSU. If
he loves the Air Force, he wants to go into
the military when he finishes baseball.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Why didn't you stay.
Speaker 6 (38:46):
At air Force because you weren't winning a national championship
at Air Force. You went to the Yankees of college baseball.
We've already established who you are, and I'm not going to.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Complained. I want a guy that wants to win the
whole thing too. Yeah, and I want a guy.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
Who's gonna be pissed if his organization is not wanting
to win as badly as he is wanting to win. Right,
But I'm saying with this pitching staff, it's all our arguments.
Why don't they just do a little more? Now, this
would be doing a lot more. But you don't have
to go get eight guys. You get one or two,
and then if Griffin is who they think he is,
(39:26):
it's a different ballgame.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Abby's got your news when we return.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
So if you feel like you're gaining weight as soon
as the weather gets cold, apparently that's not your fault.

Here's Tom Opferman.
Speaker 10 (39:57):
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media yesterday for
his weekly conference, and he shed some light on some
of the injury issues plaguing the Steelers first and foremost.
When it comes to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tomack confirmed
that it was a small fracture in his left for
wrist and that the injury will not require surgery. Rogers
has been classified as day to day and will not
practice today, yielding first team reps to quarterback Mason Rudolph
(40:17):
as the team begins to prep for the Chicago Bears.
Elsewhere on the injury front, alex Higsmith, who missed last
week's game with a peck injury, will begin this week
in a limited capacity but has a chance to play Sunday.
The same can be said about running back Jalen Warren
and inside linebacker Cole Holcomb, who coach Tomlin is optimistic
when it comes to their participation Sunday, but will also
begin the week in.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
A limited manner.
Speaker 10 (40:39):
Cornerback Darius Slay has cleared the concussion protocol and will
return to the practice field today and also returned to
his starting spot in the defense. Coach Thomak confirmed that
yesterday at his press conference, and this is in spite
of the fact that cornerback James Pierre has been more
than impressive while filling in in Sligh's absence the past
couple of weeks. I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report.

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.
