Speaker 1 (00:03):
Heines's laws first ever squeezable gravy bottle featuring its home
style turkey gravy, and it looks like it's a bottle
of stadium mustard. They say it's specifically for sandwiches, inspired
by the Friends episode where someone steals Ross's moist Maker sandwich,
which which is made from Thanksgiving leftovers, with the secret
(00:23):
being a gravy soaked slice of bread.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
In the middle.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's available exclusively on Walmart dot com and to get one,
you need to buy a jar version for a dollar
eighty eight, and then they include the limited edition Hines
Leftover Gravy Kit with the squeezable version and a recipe.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Card never go anywhere without your gravy Kit.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
I just like the theory that there's a at some
point between Walmart and Hines, there was an exclusivity contract
that had to get decided between Who's getting the rights
to this gravy thing.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Where can we find the biggest then diagram of turkey
gravy consumers.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Whom drink it right out of the bottle right right here.
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Show Call Cole hanging out with us this morning as well,
along with Abby Krisner and you know that is already
sold out, by the way.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Uh oh, black market gray that.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I'm going dark Web. I'm gonna find it.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
The Hines leftover gravy kit at Walmart dot com sold out.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I'm telling you, just by talking about this, we're increasing
the amount of meat loaf and open face turkey sandwiches
that are getting sold for lunch today.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
What's your meat loaf consumption per year?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I like a meat loaf.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yeah, oh yeah, I like meat loaf. It's just not
something I get around to very often. I'd say, I'm
I'm only two three times a year. I think I
could do better.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Now, I will say a meatloaf sandwich seems redundant to
me because meat loaf is meat mixed with.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Bread low and then you put it on bread. Yeah,
it's just a little much.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, yeah, you don't need you don't need the bread.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'm the same.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
It's probably like once or twice a year.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Meat's the only thing you can loaf besides bread. There's
no you can't fish loaf, right, loaf. Don't don't do
that chicken loaf. That sounds worse.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, you know, actually, because there is a lunch meat,
pimental loaf. Yeah, but what constitutes a loaf? This is
what we need to me is a is a almost
like a shape rather than a than a like a consistency.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Right, you could probably loaf anything well.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
To loaf to me says it's ground up and there
is a breading component.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yes, but loaf is never in a circle. It's only
only ever in a bread bread pan configuration. If it
wasn't a circle, would it be a bunt?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Yeah, that sounds really dirty, a bunt? So the pimental dude,
there are many, there are a lot. I want to
I want to get to all the loafs, and this
one sounds the worst of all of them.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I mean, this is one. Don't look it up on urbandiction.
A Dutch loaf. I think you.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Get Dutch loaf. That's a Dutch oven that went a
little too far. Yes, you forgot to pinch it exactly.
H Oh, we have a Dutch loaf situation. Then there
is olive loaf. Yeah, no, that that sounds revolting to me.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
It sounds awful.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Pimento loaf, which we already mentioned. There's also a ham
and cheese loaf.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I've seen the.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Ham and cheese loaf, I think, but this is like
a This is like which is served for Christmas appetizers,
which sounds gelatinous.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, it's probably gelatinous.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
And then there is the chicken loaf and pickle loaf.
There's pickle loaf, which pimento loaf I think is like
the you know, if you make a pimento loaf, what
are you gonna do with all the olives you took
the pimentos out of, you make another loaf? And then
there's macaroni loaf and liver loaf. Now, the first recipe
(03:56):
that pops up on a Google search is old fashioned loaf,
which is plain loaf.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Here's what's it's just a plain loaf. Here's what's in
the old loaf. It's just made of loaf.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
It's it's pork, chicken, turkey, and beef. That's the old
fashioned loaf. So it's a hot dog kind of.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes, they're just mixing everything in the food process.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
But I don't know what it is that makes it.
I mean, I think the shape has everything to do
with it. Whatever processing you do to shove all the
inards together, as long as it creates something that looks
like bread or you would make it in a bread pan,
you know what I mean now that we're talking about
I'm shocked that there isn't a specialty restaurant in Lawrenceville
that it doesn't just completely.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
That's all they do is just loafs. That's all that's
on the menu.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Loaf first. Yeah, well, now people could mistake that for
a shoe store.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
No on all the weight staff's kind of like a
little rotund.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And they're at the table and they're just.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Like, i'll be your waiter to welcome to loaves. Are
you hungry or like not?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Can I just like sit on for a little bit
sitting down?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
They wheel up to you on an office chair, just
scooting with their heels.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
What do you want? There's a QR code there. You
should probably just ordered it that way. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm only going to do your table and then I'm leaving.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I'm writing things at home. This is just a way
to make loaves.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Meet sidekick on the way for you, Brett the diesel
keysel I bet he's had a few meat loafs in
his day.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Heck yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Also PFT commenter on the nine o'clock hour, Abbey's got
news for you right now. You know, Abby, I just
want to tell the listeners the Smalls Waltz this Sunday
or Saturday night at mister Small's the tribute to the
Last Waltz that we've put on for the last five years.
I did the last rehearsal last night. It is just killing.
It is so damn good. I mean, the band is
so dialed in on it well because they've done it
(05:54):
so many times now. So it's like, you know, there's
thirty different musicians that'll be on the stage throughout the
course of the night, and it just turns into the
rehearsals are a party, and everyone was like rooting each
other on for every performance, and like, you know, you
get done rehearsing a song and everyone's like, oh yeah,
because people are bringing their best, inspiring each other to
pulllice performances out. So if you like the last Waltz,
(06:15):
the band, which you know it's their farewell with Robbie
Robertson that brought Neil Young and Van Morrison and Joni
Mitchell and Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood are even on
a couple of the tunes there, Ronnie Hawkins, Muddy Waters
and I don't know, there's so many other ones.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I got news for you. This is becoming like a
Pittsburgh calendar item. Yeah, it really is starting to people
are it's a standing appointment in Pittsburgh at this point.
There's a lot of people that talk about going to
this thing. It's a Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Tradition to watch The Last Waltz.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
It has been for a long time and these shows
started happening. I remember seeing Warren Haynes and Don wa
was in the company that put It's on a lot
of these kinds of shows down at in New Orleans
do the Last Waltz like fifteen years ago. And then
they did a touring production of that show, and that
they toured it around and it's always this time of
(07:11):
year because that's when it was filmed. You know, they
had an actual Thanksgiving dinner at the is it the
Warfield where they recorded that at any rate, So these
little shows started popping up everywhere. We did our first
one at the Rex and I want to say twenty
nineteen before COVID, Yeah, and then COVID happened and then
(07:32):
we then then we lost the Rex unfortunately, which I
mean I missed the Rex every day. And Ben Penigar
is we all owe him a great debt of gratitude
here in the city for all the unbelievable music that
he made happen. But now mister Small's has been doing
the same thing for a long time and it's an
even bigger theater, and those shows really took off. And
now that Eric Lawrence is a part of the show,
who's a part of levon Helm's Ramble Band up in
(07:53):
New York at the Woodstock there at the levon Helm Studios,
it really airs.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
It has an air of legitimacy too. It's like baptized. Yeah,
does it bumb you out that you do?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Like like that it is just one and done, Like
there's clearly so much work and coordination that goes into it,
and then it's really just one night, Like wouldn't you
like to take that and like repeat it at least
a couple of times?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Just so much work goes into it.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
I think because it's such a you know, it's a
big show that you're covering the people, you know, it's
it always every year it has sold out like by tomorrow, yeah,
And it's kind of headed in that direction again, and
so it's like, I think the perfect amount of people
who want to see it go and see it. And
to make it any bigger, I think takes away from
(08:35):
what makes that thing great, which is this is like
the energy that the room feels, and the people who
were there are such big fans of it, so these
are die hards.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It's like going to a Rush concert.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You know, you're going to be surrounded by people who
love Rush, Like the last Waltz.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Is like that for Americana.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
You know, it's like the people it's a religious experience
for them to to, you know, it's like a call
to worship the music. And so the crowd is always great,
the vibe is awesome. So to do it anymore I
think would take away the Pittsburgh aspect of it, which
is that this is about the Pittsburgh musicians paying.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
And then also, you don't want to have like an
incredible ten out of ten show and then take it
on the road and have like a.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Six out of ten. That's a bummer.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Well yeah, and there's always that danger, but that danger
is minimal with this group of absolute mercenary musicians that
we have. It's just a killer and the horn section
is out of control. So if you wanted to go
to that and you were waiting to get tickets, I
wouldn't wait around.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, I would not either.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You will be shut out.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Get your tickets at the Mister Small's box office and
there's a link for you to buy those at DV
dot com And a portion of the proceeds, just like
every year, goes to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank,
who are in desperate need this time of the year,
really all year round, but especially during the holiday. So
we're glad to partner up with them for the Smalls
Waltz this Saturday. Once again, get your tickets through DV
(09:57):
dot com or at the Mister Small's box office.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
News this hour is brought to you by Window Nation.
Clouds with peaks of sunshine today it's a high of
fifty four. Property owners for the Pittsburgh Mills Mall in
Fraser were ordered to pay more than seventeen million dollars
in response to poor road, sidewalk and door conditions at
the mall complex, and Allegheny County judge ruled on Tuesday
(10:20):
the owners were found guilty of three hundred and sixty
four code violations for lack of attention to mall maintenance,
including cratered roads, overgrown weeds, and building violations. And this
is in addition to being charged with creating a public nuisance.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
It's tough to be a tenant of that mall when
people have to go on safari to be able to
go shopping.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Judge Thomas Flaherty handed down the ruling, saying that there
has been no response from the property owners, who were
not present in court.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And he said that time has officially run out.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Wow, they didn't even show up. No, Wow, these are
real bad slumb Well, I mean when you've I mean
they've lost probably what like one hundred and sixty million dollars,
They're like, yeah, throw another.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
One point seven on the pile. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I'm gonna declare bankruptcy and nobody's gonna get any money anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Well, do you need more blood from the stone? Go ahead?
Yeah right, I got nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
This is like somebody trying to collect on student loans.
They're like, literally, can't believe a stone.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Now.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
In no property developers defense, they're like, I'm sorry, Pittsburgh,
weren't you guys the ones that told us to put
them all here? Instead it'd be the hot spot, like
it failed within eight months, like nobody wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
There, Like everybody's going to Terrentum.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah right, you know what, everybody every Pittsburgh loves driving
up twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Everyone loves doing that.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
If there's one thing that we all have in common,
it's Route twenty eight driving.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Who doesn't love it?
Speaker 5 (11:41):
I mean, they're fifty one To me is still will
forever be if I had to commute on fifty one.
God bless you people who do that every day. I
don't know what it is about that road. First of all,
I think it's just way too close. I think you
are much too close to people next to you going
in the opposite direction and the people going in the
same direction.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
If I ever run, for me, the only platform that
I'm going to have is that anyone who commutes on
Sawmill Run Boulevard gets a stick of dynamite that they
get to throw out of the car on their commute.
That will pay for the demolition, that will probably get
a little bit of good will going.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
It'll be a spectacle. I think that's a good thing
to do. I just it's one of those things where
you know the people who developed the city and the
way it all developed. We just didn't anticipate the amount
of traffic that we would have going through tunnels going
on fifty one, going on twenty eight, and now we're
stuck with these antiquated.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Called sawmill run Boulevard. There's no saw mills there.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
It was like it was meant to move one log
down the road. Now it's full of hummers and mac trucks.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I had. That's where the rehearsal was.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
It was off fifty one last night and I was
driving it and just thinking, like, man, doing this every morning.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And it's not even that bad at night.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
But like I was coming off of a crossroad like
down on to turn right onto fifth one from you know,
coming down that hill kind of like an overbrook there,
and I got the green light and it was kind
of a blind spot and I'm like I better still
just creep, and sure enough, dude goes right through the
red light.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I'm like, well, that would.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Have been a t bone death on fiftyis and you
have to contend with that every day there. Yeah, I
don't know how Like we should be pumping some sort
of like you know, aromatherapy onto fifty one in the
morning to try and keep people calling, there's a shop,
there's a couple actually just talking about yeah sense Amelia.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Mega Death leader Dave Mustain has said it particularly high
bar when it comes to setting the scene for his
ideal final show with the Thrash Metal Legends. They're already
confirming that their seventeenth studio album and world tour is
going to be their final chapter, but he wants the
last concert that they performed to be in space. He says, quote,
(13:56):
I hope we'll be playing up in space. I think
that'll be a really fitting climax. And I'm not talking
about on the side of a vomit, commet a gig
on the moon, a full moon landing.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I think it would be cool, he said.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I saw they send up a bunch of celebrities into space,
and I thought, if them, then why not me. You know,
I'm just watching how it all progresses. I know Elon
Musk and Richard Branson were working on interstellar travel. I
think people are going to be traveling to space a
lot sooner than you think.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Elon's like, if there's one thing that we must do,
it's put Dave Moustain on the moon, isn't David state.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
He's a pilot though, isn't he? And that's right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
I just sort of wonder if the rest of Mega
Death is also on board with this, this whole thing,
Like I'm scared of flying and you want to take
me in orbit like the Apollo missions. I don't think so.
I'm all set. I'm a bass player alone. Dave, you
still have paid me for that last Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Paris Hilton would like you to know that she is
self made.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yes, oh yes, that last name.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Is completely independent of all that you've been taught and known.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yep, all by herself, you guys.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
In a new interview, she says, quote, ever since I
was a teenager, I wanted to be independent and I
didn't want to have to ask my family for anything. So, yes,
I came from Hilton Hotels, but I've parlayed it into
such a huge business that even my grandfather said to me,
I used to be known as Baron Hilton.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Now I'm known as Paris Hilton's grandfather.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Well that's because she did a porno I mean that
will supersede any success that you have in business when
your granddaughter does a world famous homemade porno tape. Yes,
I know, the steer end of the skid though, like
off of like practically everybody that puts one out has
really been helped by it. So Tommy Lee, you don't
(15:49):
think he was helped by that a little bit?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Yes, I mean he was already kind of sort of
irrelevant at that point. I mean, I mean, everybody got
to know his hog pack.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Og. Hog is an aggressive term. I was going to say,
it's an aggressive hog. It is an aggressive hog. But
I don't know. I think he got onto the microscope
a little bit. I mean, like Pamela Anderson, you had
got under the telescope.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
I think as what you mean, it was a planetary
body that we were looking at.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
No, but Pamela Anderson's whole thing is that ruined her life?
Speaker 8 (16:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
So that that you know, all right, So that's someone
who didn't benefit from it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
But Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian did the very smart
move which this works for people, is they refused to
accept the shame yea. They would not say like, oh,
I'm embarrassed by it. They were proud of it. And
as soon as you refuse the idea that you will
(16:53):
be shamed by that, it automatically turns into currency.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I've often said that about people who get a Q
of racism, but the second, like Pauldine was, the second
you apologize, you get flayed. But if you're just like nah,
I don't care, like the press sort of leaves you
alone because there's nothing to do, Like I.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Feel like that, then you're a racist. Well exactly, but
you'll find your people. Yeah, but that's okay if you
want to find those people. Yes, but you want to
find those if you are truly like man that slipped
out and I did not mean it, then I don't
think you can.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
There's no steering into that skin. Just I guess.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
So I think that those people want to be left
alone by the press anyway, So that probably makes a
little bit of sense. But you're right, like, if you're
unapologetic about things, to me, it doesn't seem I still
think that we need to bring back banishment as a
as a society, like actually physically banish people to island
countries and stuff like that. There has to be a
code of conduct that you're not going to prison, but
(17:51):
we're banishing you. Well, you have to live like in
a Puget Sound or something like that.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I just think that when like the whole cancel culture
thing happened, so many people were lumped into having been
canceled that weren't actually canceled. You just suffered the ramifications
of your own behavior and in no way, shape or
form resulted in you being canceled. And Luis c K
is the one that like, I'm like, why do you
have a gripe? So you went from doing arenas to
(18:17):
now you're doing big theaters instead of having eight I
mean he just sold his how one of his homes
for four million dollars. Yeah, Like Louis K was not
canceled in any way. He suffered in popularity because of
you know, a disgusting situation. And as it bummed me
out how he handled that, because I was like, just say,
you messed up and you're sorry, instead of lumping yourself
(18:40):
into these people who had their career taken away from
your career suffered and that's.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
What happens when you screw up. Yeah, yeah, but you
weren't prevented. But they were doing comedy.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
It just made how many millions playing to the saudislu
He's not at all canceled.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
There was a whole cottage industry for a little bit
sort of post COVID of people who were saying they
were being canceled, but at the same time we're selling
out arenas.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That's what I mean, the two things simultaneous.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, cancel culsers not new. We used to put people
in stockhade in the.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Middle, right, Yes, I mean were people hyper sensitive and
were people being lumped into being the like? Yes, of
course that, of course that was definitely happening.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
There was.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, that non deserve it, no doubt.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
But I think there were more people claiming to have
been persecuted who just were suffering the consequences of their actions,
which resulted in a smaller amount of success, but not
lack of.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Para Sultan, by the ways, also in the news because
she was circulating around this story that she could have
been one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Like bragging, I means like I couldn't. I could have
pulled that gig off always the bridesmaid. But she reportedly.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
That in the twenty twenty documentary Surviving Jeffrey Epstein that
one of his former associates claims that Glenne Maxwell once
saw Paris Hilton at a party and asked to be
introduced to her, saying that Jeffrey would love her.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
By the way, Jeffrey deserved to be canceled. That was
one guy who.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah, probably yeah he probably yeah, he should have been
but totally self made clouds with pix of sunshine high
of fifty. Oh, the amount of Epstein content, It's impossible
to get away from it.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I'm constantly saying he was a CIA asset and all
this stuff. I'm like, I don't have the capacity. I
have no bandwidth for any of this.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I just don't. The Steelers are in the middle of
a season. I'm concentrating on that.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
The Paris Hilton comment right there is a little I'm
a little worried that it's gonna tip the other way,
because you know how people started thinking Jeffrey Dahmer was
hot after you remember like that, after.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
His oh really yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
There was this whole little subtext of like the serial
murders like Luigi Mangion and all that kind of stuff,
Like is there going to be a point where there's
some psychopaths that are sort of being like, oh, well,
I could have been in the Jeffrey Epstein harem, Like
you know what, like, are there gonna be people who
want to glom onto that attention.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Definitely, I think definitely. I mean to your earlier point.
Don't forget Charles Manson had a woman that wanted to
marry him, as Dana Gould always points out, but he
decided not to because he wanted his freedom.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
While he was still incarcerated.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Yeah, I think there's there's there's an inclination for all
kinds of you know, people not glory seekers, but just attentions.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Yeah, people trying to carve off a little a little
attention on.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
The way for you. Mike's got your sports. Brett Keezel
doing some good.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
The Prescio Luck holiday promotion to support local kids and
families in conjunction with our friends at Presley Ridge is
coming up.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He's going to tell you all about that.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
We'll ask him about the current state of your Pittsburgh
Steelers plus PFT Commoner in the nine o'clock hour. Jeff
Conkle hanging out with us this morning as well.
Speaker 3 (21:55):

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yep, looks like you're ready to drive. Let's get an you.
Speaker 7 (22:07):

Speaker 5 (22:30):
High temperatures today near fifty, cloudy overnight and alone in
the mid thirties, and more clouds tomorrow with a high
once again around. Getting ready for Steelers Bears this coming
Sunday in Chicago one o'clock kickoff.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
You're on DVE over under on the TV broadcast. The
amount of time still show fans in the stance in
the Ditka outfits, you know, the sweater vest that's at
Bears and then the sunglasses and the mustache that like
the mid eighties Super Bowl winning year additka.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
I'm gonna say it's four and a half. I was
gonna say three. Chicago is the most Pittsburgh like city
there is. It's not Pittsburgh. It's just a bunch of Pittsburgh's.
I think they're the only other city that, says jag Off. Yeah,
we were talking about that yesterday, like because I remember
hearing it in the movie Vacation. Right, he's talking about
(23:21):
she's talking about her cousin and he's always been flaty
and then Clark goes, he's always been a jag off.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
And I remember thinking, like.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Huh, they have it there too, because it's written by
John Hughes and it's set in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Used to use it fairly frequently.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Now she's from Philly, but she was at Second City
in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I think that's where she picked it up. Yeah, it's
a good one. It's a great one. Jag Off is
a good one. Everyone knows it's.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
The stadium's weird because they tried to modernize an ancient
Roman like structure and it looks like a space ship
landed on the Colisseum.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
But was was that was originally War Memorial Stadium? Right?
Soldier Field, Oh, Soldier Field? Okay, where was War Memorial
Stadium Buffalo? Well, there's war memorials all over the place.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
But the NFL team played in War Memorial in Buffalo,
the AFL team. Okay, it is funny like that told
George carlon routine about where you play Baseballs played in
a park, footballs played in War Memorial Stadium.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
Iron.
Speaker 10 (24:24):
You know, Steel's getting ready for the Bears, as you mentioned,
and it's wait and see on Aaron Rodgers. Mike Tomlin
made it sound yesterday as if Friday is going to
be today when they figure out whether Rodgers will play
or not. He was not ruled out yesterday, but he
wasn't exactly ruled in. It depends on things such as
pain tolerance and the ability to brace his broken wrist,
(24:45):
which does not require surgery.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Before he heard his wrist, he didn't look comfortable to me.
I don't know what's going on with him. There's a regression, right.
It wasn't the bounce back I was hoping for from
the Charger game. I thought he was tremendous up UNTI
the Charger game, just the whole body of work and
the way he was orchestrating it and running this show.
(25:07):
Not necessarily statistical accidents. Although his quarterback rating was very high.
He was top ten, he was top three or four
in touchdown passes. He could argue statistically he was doing
very well. Charger game was an absolute stinker, as he
put it, and the Bengals game was disjointed until he
got hurt and went out. We'll see what they come
up with for Sunday. If it's Mason Rudolph.
Speaker 10 (25:28):
Mike Tomlin talked yesterday about how the game plan wouldn't
necessarily change, and again, if they're waiting till Friday, that
horse would be out of the barn by the time
they figure out who the quarterback is. But they will
taylor the play calling within that game planning to where
Mason Rudolph likes to play.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Again, those conversations happened before we get in stadium. They
generally happened weekly toward the latter part of the week
Friday and Saturday. He'll get time with the author and
highlight some things within the plan that best suit his
skill set, the things that he sees with great, great
clarity relative to who we're competing against. And so when
(26:08):
you get in game and your face with elevating him
is simply a continuation of some of those things with
you know, with a focus on what's transpiring in game.
And so that's the nature of the conversation. It transpired
at halftime, it transpired continually once they got to the sideline.
It's ongoing in between series. Once you get in game.
(26:31):
He only had two real series because out of second
half unfolded. But that's the nature of the conversation and
the flow of information and our general approach to it.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
A couple of things about the Bears, whose ever quarterbacking
has to protect the football Chicago Leeds the NFL and
takeaways and seven wins for the Bears this season, twenty
one takeaways in those seven games. Three losses for the
Bears this season, one takeaway in those three games. Steelers
are not the only team that is turnover centric or
(27:04):
turnover driven. Not every successful team operates that way, but
a lot of them do. The Bears are plus eighteen.
The Rams are really good. They're plus ten, Tampa Bay
is plus nine, Jacksonville's better than people thought, plus eight,
and Pittsburgh's plus eight. Some of the outliers in terms
of good teams that don't necessarily have to turn you over.
(27:25):
New England is even and Denver's minus three.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
In case you were wondering, you know the wind, I
think a lot of times and weather it can contribute
to turnovers. Forecast for Sunday in Chicago fifty seven degrees,
partly cloudy.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
The wind actually does blow in off the lake there.
It is a lake, yes, buddy, right, great lake. But
that's not why they call it city. As you know,
why do they call it the windy city? Oh you
don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Oh they called it the windy city because of the politicians. Yeah,
blowing so much wind and really, yeah, it's not it
has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Con is windy as hell there. It is also windy
as hell there.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
If you've ever been in Chicago walking down Michigan Avenue
in February and it's about ten degrees and the wind
is blowing, wolf, you don't want to be there. The
wind blows. Uh, trick plays or another component here? Ben
Johnson's famous for him? Who his famous for him? In Detroit,
the Bears run them. Here's here's a little contact for you.
(28:27):
Steelers just played the Bengals. The Bears just played the
Bengals before the Steelers did. Caleb Williams, the Bears quarterback,
had more receptions against the Bengals two than either Pat
Fryar move Whoa.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Or Roman Wilson. The Wall had won each.
Speaker 10 (28:47):
They're gonna do some stuff, and particularly if you let
them run the ball, then that really opens the door
to them doing some throwbacks and direct snaps. They had
one play against Cincinnati where they took their backup quarterback
Tyson Badgett and lined him up a wide receiver and
then Williams drew backwards to him and then he ended
up throwing back to Williams down the field.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Well, and with the Steelers defense having a lot of
new components to it, you think they might be susceptible
to stuff like that. They had a hard time getting
their communication down the first five games of the year
with facing regular plays.
Speaker 10 (29:21):
Well, they're also a rally to the ball team, but
you have to do your like the backside guy better
stay on the backside right, don't chase Oh, the running
a suitep not necessarily.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
This is the game, the mother of.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
All games, where you got to trust your teammate to
do what he's supposed to do because if you try
to do his job, nobody's gonna do yours. And that's
when the double throwback reverse pass to the long snapper
comes in.
Speaker 8 (29:45):
See.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I feel like all those trick plays is a recipe
for Peyton Wilson getting like three interceptions this game if
they if they try that stuff, I hope you're right.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
I think that that this d can pull that off.
Speaker 10 (29:55):
If you're sound, it doesn't work. But if if you
give them an inch, they can take a lot of yards. Also,
Chicago second in the NFL and rushing and the Bear's
average four point nine per carry, but they're twenty fifth
in run defense and they allow five point two per carry.
Come on, Jalen, just run, Come on, Jalen, come on,
gain well, Come on, Caleb Johnson, pound it, protect it,
(30:19):
keep Caleb Williams in the pocket.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Abby, as you knew, is at the top of the hour.
You guys woke up Chicago. So a documentary about the
Bears Super.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Fantastic? You know what. I love the fact that I

Speaker 5 (31:34):
I swear to God you are everywhere you go, more
places in Pittsburgh and Pendot, Like every time I turn around,
there's Brett Keesel.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
It's my home.
Speaker 9 (31:44):
Man.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
I love it here. I love being a Pittsburgher. I
love raising my kids here in Pittsburgh. And you know
I like to be at and a bat as they say, Randall, you.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Know what, Let's get right to the meat of the matter.
And by meat I mean capacla because you were doing
something pretty cool with.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yeah, this is awesome. I've teamed up with Presley Ridge
and Permani Brothers. We're having an event tonight and mccannless
and bringing my champion brothers, Chris Hoak and Matt Staith
and we're gonna come down and take some pictures. We'll
wave some towels with all the people that come and
see us. At Permanny Brothers, We're doing an awesome event
(32:22):
called a Pressure Luck Ticket where people can purchase a ticket.
Everything that gets purchased goes directly to the wonderful kids
that Presley Ridge serves over nine thousand kids around this region.
They helped throughout the year. But you can come down
and get a Pressure Luck ticket, scratch it off, you
might win a sandwich, or you might just win the
(32:44):
grand prize, which is coming to a Stellar game with me.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Oh yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
So six thirty tonight at the McCandless Permanne's in McIntyre
Square and you'll have Hoky and Matt Spaith with you
as well, and then it's just one dollar for the
Pressure Luck tickets to win all of this cool stuff.
There's autograph Memorabilly as you said, free Primanti's foods, gift cards,
in that really cool ultimate prize of going to a
(33:13):
game with Brett the diesel Kesels. So we are kicking
this around earlier, Brett, do you have any stories of
somebody being dumb enough to spit on a member of
that defense that you played for with the Steelers.
Speaker 12 (33:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
No, hell no, I like that.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
There's a lot of trash talking that goes on, as
you guys know, there's a lot of things being said.
There's a lot of words, but you really want to
play the game respectfully, and you try and respect your opponent,
respect his position, his job, and that's why the game
is great. At the end of the game, you come
(33:51):
together to shake hands, win or lose, you know, like Lebosas,
sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear get too.
But the ultimate form of disrespect is what we saw.
And you know, it's unfortunate that happened. And and uh,
you know, anytime something like that happens, there's going to be,
(34:11):
you know, some sort of of response to it, because
you know, that's nothing that you should do to anybody.
So I hope the you know, everyone learns from it.
We don't like seeing that thing. You don't like seeing
your heroes doing that stuff. You know, you want to
play the game the right way and compee your tail
(34:32):
off and at the end of the day, you know,
walk off the field with your head high.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
And but your teammates would never hold it against you
for reacting the way that tomorrow that Jalen Ramsey did,
because it's just it's so outside of the bounds of
what you guys are doing there that, as coach Tomlin
said yesterday, do what you feel is necessary.
Speaker 11 (34:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Absolutely, Like you know, seeing happened and stuff gets said.
I think a lot of times, you know, when when
hands start to fly, that's when you lose your coat.
Cool about one thing or another, But one thing that
made us all great is how we supported each other
and backed each other up. And and I know that
(35:17):
that team down there is doing the same with Jalen.
Speaker 10 (35:20):
Brett speaking of what's necessary or what might be necessary.
The best game of the year for the Steelers was
clearly the Colts game.
Speaker 6 (35:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:29):
I think it was because they didn't want to look
bad for all of you guys, So.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
Great game.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
It was so much fun to be together with the guys.
You know, I can't believe it's been twenty years since
since you know, speaking of spitting, like coach Kauard kicked
in the door and when he comes into the meeting,
he's ran and there is some spit to fly, but
that's friendly fire.
Speaker 10 (35:53):
Can you guys start showing up with a little more
regularity because clearly it has an effect. So I mean,
you know, maybe not the whole group of get fifteen
to twenty guys. Now, Okay, we're going to Chicago and
then the next one's home against Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Clear your schedules.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Like I'll definitely talk to my man Marchinsky who runs
the alumni, and be like, you know, this might be
a good idea. Take take a bunch of guys on
the road. It's win win because we'd all get to
spend time with each other and support the team and
maybe bring a little lap magic.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yeah, it's like how Sidney Crosby performs when when they're
on the dad's trip.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
You know, you want to do you want to do
good when your dad's watch it. Right.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Well, we were always like that too. I mean it
was such a treat when we would go play and
you know, me and Joe show up, and Franco and
Rocky and and mel Blant and you know, you get
the legends that come by, it creates a different buzz,
Like this whole thing got started with those guys bringing
(36:49):
home Lombardes, and you know, they did it a certain
way and worked a certain way and far a certain way,
and that's why they stacked four, you know, And it
was an honor for us to be able to add
a couple more to the old trophy case there at
the South Side.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
You know, I wanted to ask you about your buddy
and the only guy who's on the team still that
played with you, Cam Hayward, because I think a lot
of Steeler fans get caught up in all of the
drama of the offseason stuff and they don't appreciate what
they're seeing in Cam Hayward at this point in his career.
And is it remarkable to you that he's able to
(37:30):
play at the level that he is still continuing to
exhibit at this point?
Speaker 3 (37:36):
How many years? And is it for him now, Mike?
Is it thirteen years or fifteen?
Speaker 11 (37:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (37:41):
Fifteen, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yeah? I mean it's a lot. Yeah, he's coming up
on thirty.
Speaker 12 (37:45):
Seven, So absolutely what you said, it's almost unreal what
he's done and at the level he's done and at
you know, when I was fortunate enough to play with him,
and when we were out there together.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
I knew, I knew he was special, and you know,
I it's just been so much fun to be able
to be done and watch him work, and watch him lead,
and and watch him there game after game. He just
got the second most all time snaps in Steeler history
(38:21):
this last week, which are games, you know, games played.
I think only to Ben, that's remarkable what he's done.
Just it's so hard in the trenches. You got to
think about the level of dudes down there that you're
competing against in the grind that it takes, you know,
day in and day out, pushing and pulling and fighting
(38:43):
these giants, you know, and staying healthy through it all.
But he's a legend through and through. In my eyes,
he's the first ballot, you know, Hall of Famer. His
his resume is incredible, his sacks are incredible. He's just
someone that I'm so proud to know and that I've
(39:03):
gotten to watch play and fight and become the giant
of a player that he is.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
He has just perfected the pass deflection.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
I don't know any stealer that is as proficient at
that as he's been.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Yeah, he's incredible in all areas. Like you watch him
take on double teams. You watch him get down the
line of scrimmage on plays that are away and be
sidelined the sideline. If he gets single blocked, ninety nine
percent of that time, he wins that play. And when
he's doubled, he's holding point, you know. And for him
(39:37):
to be doing that in year fifteen is amazing, because
I can tell you this, when I got to year thirteen,
he started flowing down. You just don't move like he
used to, and you don't have your reactions. And I
remember I jumped up to deflect the pass in some
(39:59):
game and one of the young offensive lineman like, put
me on my neck, you know, Like it just is
such a grind there in the trenches. So he's the
ultimate warrior in my book, and I'm proud to have
been around him and teach him a few tricks along
the way.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
Tonight, at the mckenless location of Primanny Brothers in McIntyre
Square from six thirty to eight thirty, join Brett Keesel,
Chris Hoak and Matt Spath for Presley Ridges. Press your

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Is that what it is. It's either a football game
or a hockey game.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
This is a Pittsburgh game. It could be a hockey
game too, Pittsburgh. This is for all the fans out there.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
You know.
Speaker 6 (40:49):
One of the great things about being a Pittsburgher as
our awesome teams that we've been able to root for,
and so we're all black and gold and whoever wins
and probably get to choose.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
All right, there you go. That's tonight six thirty to
eight thirty. Along with Chris Hokin, Matt Space joined Brett
keesel a Key's always a pleasure. Thanks for making time

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Have a blast. What's your go to for Manna's?
Speaker 6 (41:11):
By the way, email, I'm the Pittsburgher. Yeah, I just
I like burger and but I love for mayonnaise.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
You know.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
It's It's one of the places that I always bring
friends and family when they come to town and have
never been out. You know, you always take them down
to for mayonnaise and give them the full Pittsburgh experience.
So it's a great spot. I'm great grateful to have
Presley Ridge partner with them to really make a difference
for these kids that need some help this holiday season.
(41:46):
So if you can come by today and say hi
and give me a high five, and you know we'll
maybe have a sandwich together.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Sounds good. All the best of you, share and the
kids hope to see you soon. Love you, guys, love you,
We'll see you.
Speaker 8 (41:59):
Got it.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Brett Diesel Casel on DV what do you want to.

Hear that van? The Pittsburgh tradition built by Pittsburgh's happens
weekdays at noon. They all request of electric lunch. That's
one of the best.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
On DVE think going of Mercedes. Benz is out of
Rea
