Speaker 1 (00:16):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is w DVE, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I used to be known as Baron Hilton. Now I'm
known as Paris Hilton's grandfather.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, that's because she did a porno.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I mean that will supersede any success that you have
in business when your granddaughter does a world famous homemade
porno tape. 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 think he was helped by that a little bit?
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Yes, I mean he was already he was.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Already kind of sort of irrelevant at that point.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I mean, I mean everybody got to know his uh,
pogg hog is an aggressive term. I was gonna say, uh,
it's an aggressive pod.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It is an aggressive had. But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I think he got onto the microscope a little bit.
I mean, like Pamela Anderson had gotten into the telescope.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I think that's what you mean. It was a planetary
body that we were looking.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
At Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I mean, poor Pamela Lee was really what I was
trying to get to there. You know, she was the
one that suffered greatly from that video.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And then she made a resurgence, came back without makeup,
made a movie, and then you hated her for that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I didn't hate her for it. You kind of did.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
No, no, no, no, it's not about the sex tape.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Now.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I don't like you because you're a bad actress.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
She is a bad act very bad.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
She's still a bad act By the way, our friend
Tad Whistle's hanging out with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did you happen to see The Last Showgirl?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Pam Anderson's acting, uh, acting debut, But she was a
lead actress role in a serious role for this movie,
Oscar Buzz, Oscar Bait. It was, you know, a Los
Angeles show girl on her last you know looks, you know,
the last run that she was having there, things were
getting dim in grim.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Aging out of the demo.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Aging out of horror, and everybody's like, oh my god,
what a revelatory performance.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
And I watched it.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I'm like, guys, I feel bad for her too. But
we can't pretend that this is good or that she's good.
She was a terrible actress, but you always like to
point out that she was actually being a good actress
by annoying the pisatomy during that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What I was saying is she embodied the part because
she is the part right exactly. So in a way,
it was kind of hard to tell who was who,
because the whole point was that she was so kind
of enveloped in this character or swallowed up in this
character of somebody who only had value in their sex appeal. Yeah,
(03:06):
and so she it made her this very vapid character
who didn't have a lot of deep connections with people.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
So she played it extremely well, but.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I couldn't tell it's because that's who Pam Anderson was,
or if that's because she was a great actress.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
A little Mickey Rourke and the Wrestler Yes vibe.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That's a good example, excellent, but also the prime example
is Courtney Love in The People versus Larry Flint, Yes,
where they're like, you need to just play a drugged out,
like polyamorous looney and she's like, can do And it
(03:43):
sounded just like that. She's like, I actually have that
one in my quiver. I can pull that. I got it,
I got it.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Does Pam Anderson get a plus two for dating Liam Neeson?
Whin Awards season rolls around?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well, I think that was all bs.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Right, was it? Yeah? They were breaking Yeah, actually.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I know, yeah that was so when it got announced,
we were all like, oh man, this is so great.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Look how in love they actually seem to be. And
she's baking him muffins.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And then people will be like, wait a minute, isn't
this possibly just a cynical marketing ploy for the Naked
Gun reboot? And then everyone was like, no, you don't
love love. These people are in love. It's great they
found each other. He hasn't had a serious partner since
his wife died twenty years ago, and Pam Anderson has
swept him off his feet. And then the movie promotion ended,
(04:33):
and then like they've not talked since or I haven't
seen each other.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was rooting for them, huck you so hard.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I guess at least the storyline and the public part
of it died down. I don't remember them ever saying
they broke up or anything like that. The only part
that I know what they said this has gas is
because their kids were hanging out with each other and
I was thinking, I don't feel like people would bring
(05:00):
the kids into it if it wasn't something serious.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
But also Hollywood people, maybe they would.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Well, her kids might have just been worried about being taken,
and they thought, you know who's good at making sure
that doesn't happen. That guy, And if Tommy Lee comes
around drunk again, I don't want to end up as
a roadie on the New Motley Creue tour. Yet after
that all ended, they said, oh, no, we were never dating.
We were just good friends. Sure looked like you were dating. Yeah,
(05:26):
I was led to believe you were dating me too.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
The making out was the big tell.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Oh, well on the way for you. Lots of stuff
to get to you today. Three and Out is the
new segment we're doing instead of Pick six. Ever since
Bill decided to depart, Well, I got to do my
end of the things there, so we can't. I'm not
doing six, but I'll do half of it. So instead
of Pick six from now on, it's three and out.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That yeah, well it sounded better than.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
Then.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Oh my hand cramp.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I used to Bitchtabby about writing that all the time.
I'm like, this is hard. It was your job hard?
Oh is writing hard. Oh, I didn't know that because
I don't do anything. Missy Matthews will join us at
age forty five talking Steelers Bears. I'm getting pumped now.
See that's the thing about right well, every time I
write that segment, though, I do get more excited for
(06:17):
the games this weekend, and especially the Steelers game. Steelers
Bears Sunday one o'clock is going to be a doozy,
I believe. And initially I was thinking, like, I want
Mason to play.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
I do.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I'd rather have Mason play because I don't want a
half handed Aaron Rodgers out there. I don't need a
limp wristed quarterback out there. I want a macho man
with a mustache. But in thinking about it, and I
heard Kyle Brant talking about it on rich Eisend Show,
Aaron Rodgers, as much as I have tried to be like, oh,
(06:50):
you know what, the ayahuasca has killed enough of his
ego that he doesn't have those same things that he
had before. We're like, I have to beat the Bears, right,
or I have to beat the Packers, I have to
beat the Jets. Well, I think he still has that
and when it comes to the Bears. He's twenty four
and five against the Bears. Crazy, twenty four and five.
(07:13):
When he got there, the Bears owned the series. When
he left, the Packers were leading the series lifetime. It's
like one of the oldest rivalries thousand games yes, in
the league. And I think it does mean a lot
to him, and this is all he wants to do,
and this is these were the games he wanted a
ball out for. So if you really want an accurate
(07:36):
barometer of what Aaron Rodgers is still capable of, that
might be what you would see this coming weekend now
against Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I would have thought the same thing.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
We didn't see much from him, to be fair, he
was under fire most of the game with.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Am I dreaming?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Did he say yesterday when he was speaking with the
press that it was not only about like, you know,
how he felt physically, but also if he felt protected
like he was going to see.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
How want to be loved? No, well, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's like literally felt like he could perform and felt
protected by the line like that he could actually do it.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
He's reeling from the Pam Anderson, Liam Neeson, That's what
it is like, devastated, like most of us.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Who's going to make him sour?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Though?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Here was the quote about the Bears, whether there's an
incentive for him to get back and play because of
his long rivalry with the Mallers of the Midway.
Speaker 10 (08:32):
There's a center for every opponent. But I have enjoyed
many a Sunday and Monday and Thursdays in that city.
It's a great sports town. Phenomenal uh sports fans, and
great place to play here. He sort of off of
being the villain there a little bit, sort of enjoy
(08:55):
that I'd rather not be. I mean, I'm not in
Green Bay anymore. I feel like we can let bygones
be bygones. Maybe I can. I guess it's been.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
It's a great rivalry.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
I mean, in the history of all sports, you talk
about the Lakers and the Celtics and the Red Sox
and the Yankees, you got to talk about the Packers
and the Bears, and there's been some great memories there.
When I first got to Green Bay, the Bears had
the all time series lead. When I left, the Packers
did Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I just want to point out his face is turning
into lake that grinch smile, you know what.
Speaker 10 (09:33):
I mean, all right, since Jay Love is taken over,
it's even gotten better. But I hope, I hope those
fans can put that, put that behind the I'm sure
they can't. Don't expect them to. But I really enjoyed
the city. They got great sportsmen. I grew up watching
WGN on my five five channel CB back in the day,
so I was a Cubs fan and a Bulls fan.
(09:55):
How can I be a Bulls fan?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
List?
Speaker 10 (09:56):
You know, like Michael Jordan I did. I love them.
So it was a lot of fun memories over the years,
playing that.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
He's the Bill Clinton of quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
He is such a politician, and he's like, no, but
look I beat their ass. Don't get me wrong, but
you know what, I love their TV stations, I do
and Deep Dish. Don't even get me started on Deep Dish.
Love me some Chicago Beef Delicious. I think the clip
that you were talking about is this one.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Abby for you for the appointment?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Oh no, no, no, yeah, there's this one. Okay, Oh nope,
I don't know what happened. I had it here and
then it popped off. I'm sorry, baby. He was talking
about having to protect himself.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
That might be what it was.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It was a little bit of a fever dream, you know,
because he's so dreamy.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Right, yeah, yeah, clearly on the way, as we said,
Missy Matthews, Guy Junker. But Mike Pursuda on yesterday's press
scrum there with the quarterback. Abby's got news now for you.
Our buddy Ted Wessell hanging out with us this morning
on DV. What's up now?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford
Store Dent Fog This.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Morning, I looked outside and I thought it was snowing.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I couldn't tell what was going on there, which that
was insane.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
But it'll be otherwise cloudy today and a high of
forty six. A proposal to bring hundreds of housing units
and a grocery store to Pittsburgh's Strip District earned approval
on Tuesday from the city's Planning commission. Six commissioners voted
in favor of New York based Midwood Investment and Development,
replacing a produce ware house in the corner of twenty
(11:23):
first in railroad streets with a mixed use complex consumer
fresh produce, which is vacating the premises where Midwood plans
to build, doesn't plan to move out of the Strip
District until the spring. The seventy three year old fruit
and vegetable wholesaler is relocating to Lawrenceville, leaving Sunfresh Food
Service on twenty third Street as the only remnant of
(11:44):
the Strip District's legacy wholesale produce industry. The yet to
be named complex will span two buildings, include four hundred
and forty one apartments, twenty three town homes, thirty seven
hundred square feet of retail space, three hundred and forty
four parking spots. A narrow eight story tower will mostly
be filled with housing and parking. But it sounds like
(12:07):
even more development coming to the Strip District.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Who is going to live in all of these places
is what I keep wondering. But they apparently are getting
filled because they continue to build more. I mean, they
desperately have needed a grocery store down there for a
long time. Because you're bringing all these people in to
live in the Strip District, you can't be like, all right, well,
now head to Lawrenceville and get some groceries. Best of
luck to you, mm hmm. But I don't know if
(12:32):
you've seen some of those complexes on Railroad Street.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
There crazy. The ones behind the terminal massive.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
They're like one point two million minimum for like three
bedroom town homes and you share a wall with somebody. Look,
once we're getting into the mills, I'm not sharing no walls.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
That's what I'm thinking too. I want more space than that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Gardell was looking at one of those places. He's like,
are you kidding me? Like, He's like, it's perfect, but
that much money, And I was like, you should buy
one and then I can watch it for you on
the weekends.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, we'll just hang out something.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Exactly, we'll watch it right, Yeah, when I want to
get banged up at the shake shack with Ed Gainey.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Exactly.
Speaker 11 (13:15):
On my block alone, because I'm down there across the
street for me, directly across and directly next to me,
there's two brand new apartment buildings that just went up.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And I'm not even like at the hub where Abby
was talking about.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
On my square block alone, two new buildings just came out.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Who are all those people, Jacob?
Speaker 11 (13:33):
My building, my building that I'm in is like twenty
units total. The three floors total these buildings are each
eight floors, I think means like one hundred units in
the total in the in those buildings, if not more.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's just like all tech people.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I guess sometimes it's tech people moving in. But I have.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Family friends that were coming from Bethel that are in
I want to say. They're probably in their late seventies
that sold their family Bethel home like where they raised
their children who are adults.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Now, sold it and moved the Strip. They just live
in the Strip now, just like we go to.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Restaurants and we hang at that's the dream I think
it is.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Well, one of our friends is doing that in Bloomfield.
Pp Oh, that's right, is his empty Nestra plan. He's
moving to Bloomfield.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Nice has had a place in Bloomfield for like your
Bloomfieldy're right, yeah, Bloomfeldian what was That's great? Okay, that
would be an awesome plan. The Strip is a little
more expensive. And the other thing I would think about
is like there was never a steel mill in the Strip?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Was there was there a steel mill in the Strip.
I have no idea because I.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Wonder about isn't there a possible Poultergeis situation going on here?
When we're building all of these apartment complexes on Sacred
Steel Ground.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
You know the souls of steel workers. You know of
yesteryear pet cemetery style thing. They can't build it. The
ground is sour, exactly, can't do it right?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Give me an arm.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Are needed in good.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I don't know, I mean kudos and congratulations everyone involves.
Sounds like a lot of people are making a whole
lot of money. I don't know how the hell you
afford to pay that much money to live in the
Strip district.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
But fortunately my Zilo settings when you're scrolling around, protect
me from even knowing that it's possible to buy a
one point two million dollar apartment.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Do you have parameters on your Zillo?
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Oh yeah, you got to cap it. You don't even
want to know how You don't want to dream the
other people live? Yeah, you can't people. No one lived
in the Strip? What you know twenty years ago? I
mean the and it was great, exponential. Yeah, those were
the days.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And we loved how much blight there was and how
there was absolutely no commerce. This is how it should
be an absolute just graveyard of what once was. And
now there's a Sephora, Now there's restaurants.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I can't get a reservation too.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I mean, that's what drives me crazy down there, and
there's like, I mean the parking, that parking situation back
in parking. Come on, I have been backed up to
the History Center from some jamoke trying to do a
three point turn to get into a parking spot on
the opposite side of the terminal, and it's like there
(16:27):
had to have been a better way than that.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Just because you're willing to wait doesn't mean I am.
I'm glad you think that dude's gonna pull out of
that spot?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
That drives me crazy. There's chill it on his phone,
is what he's gonna do? Five minutes of quiet me
time on my phone? What's going on outside? I have
no idea? And then I don't want to know.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
No, the traffic just backs up all the way because
I literally have been all the way back to the
History Center before, and I'm like, you know, doing the
you know, periscope groundhog move out of the sun roof
of my car, and you see that happening, and I
can't imagine that anybody is okay with it. There needs
to be a law that you can wait a total
(17:09):
of one minute and then after sixty seconds, like it's
a five hundred dollars fine.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
One minute's generous.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Start the clock. One minute is a lot. If you're
behind someone, one minute's a lot.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
One minute's generous.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I agree with you, you'l like forever, but.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Like putting a bow on it. I do love the
Strip District. I love everything that it's done. I was
very worried that all of the development was going to
take away from the character of the Strip District. I mean,
as someone who loves going down there on Saturday mornings,
especially Sunday mornings, and doing the whole Strip District experience,
buying food to make dinner later in the day, eating
too much while you're down there, you know, I'll grab
(17:45):
it an oyster off the street, tip of the accordion player,
all of that crowd.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
I love it all. It's the best. And then we
should we get to be at rollers.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, and then you're this is awesome, and then your
groceries go sour because you're getting hammered at lefties. And
then you know what lefties has gone now, But you
know back in the day and you make some bad
decisions then and you're like, we.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Shouldn't go back to the Strip District.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That I mean the espresso clearly gave us way too
much gas and we drank our faces off. Today all
the groceries have gone bad and we have to order
grub up. That's a time on our tradition, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And really I do love.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
That that, nonwithstanding all the new development, I don't think
is really taken away too much for the purests. And
I have great regard for all of the historical preservation
societies in Pittsburgh throughout the many neighborhoods, and I understand
(18:35):
the importance of keeping that historically as intact as possible.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
But this can only be a good thing, I would
imagine in the long run.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I'm very much just of the school of like changing
it now, I've gotta look at something new, and because
when you drive that railroad street over to jump onto
the you know underneath the convention center there, it's cool looking.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's like, man, they have an awesome you downtown that
the town homes look cool and modern and juxtaposed with
the you know, archaic sort of layout of.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
What the Strip District was set up to be, which
is just manufacturing and loading docks and you know, putting
stuff and taking stuff off of boats.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
And now it has all of that like vibrancy. It
is kind of cool. I don't know how plastic those
houses are, though, because sometimes there is a little rock
ridge element to it, right, you know, it's like, well,
this looks lovely, and then you put your hand on
the wall and fall into your neighbor's living room.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Yeah, they look a little almost you know, AI generated,
computer generated. But they're so nice, and you know, we
don't see nice things all the time. I guess they're
nice and new. It would be cool to have as
part of your routine, Like, you know what, I'm gonna
walk out of my apartment. I'm gonna go hang out
by the river. See what's going on?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yes, their Yeah, there are some rocks. You look at
some trash. It's not the Mississippi though. Yeah, you know
what you're getting into.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Oh yeah, you're going down there and there's a hobo
you know, who takes a bite out of a carp
Got a good one today, Good Lord.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Dense fog again this morning, otherwise cloudy, a high of
forty six.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Betty, we're moving back to Fox Shuttle.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
There are heathens about No, I'm just kidding, but the
strip I'm ultimately happy for it. I was resistant to
the change at first. I still don't know where all
these people are coming from. But because every time I
see a demographic study of Pittsburgh, it's changing in a
way that I don't think that it would be prime
to be like let's build way more housing.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Again it is there's tech people that are coming in
and they need a place quickly, and they are making
a ton of money, and the oh, exposed brick sounds
really nice, and then they get you know, those amazing
like kind of like layout apartments, but kind of to
Tad's point, it's a little wild. It's like I'm playing
like millions of dollars for exposed brick.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
And then when I want to go hang out.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I got to sit by a chocolate river with asexual
fish in it, like.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
And I'm not cool, but also, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Asexual fishes in the coffee house this weekend.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
They're so good, so good.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
But the I do like the urban kind of cause
play that happens when like, you know, people are like,
I'm living in the city, really where in a castle
that is protected by fences on Railroad Street and everything
looks very nice.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's like, well, I mean it's kind of urban. You know,
it's a little bit urban.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
They can't get me up here.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
That's what it feels like, right, Yeah, they're like, oh, here's.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
The boiling oil batch. Did things really get crazy?
Speaker 10 (21:41):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
No, this is when we this is where we dump
the oil on them. Should they revolt? Yes, that's right.
But I think that the demographic I'm not taking into
account is the one that you were talking about, Abbey,
which is the people who live in the suburbs, who
are like, you know what, I kind of want to
do the third chapter of this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yere in the city.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
It action be on Railroad Street or down in you know,
off Penn Avenue in those new places, because that's a
weird thing when you're sitting at Dianoia's outside and you're
like having a libation and it's beautiful, and then there's
like people walking by with their dog and you're like,
where do you live? How did you bring a dog
down here? You're on twenty seventh or whatever that you know,
(22:21):
it's pretty far out on Penn, but they have places
all over out that way.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, I guess you know.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
It's if you live in the burbs and you want
to get that full experience. I don't know if that's
really the place to do it. But if you don't
want to, you know, do any housework and pay into
an ho that keeps your gutters clean and never cut grass. Yeah,
that's probably a good spot for it.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That's a good point. You should be the spokesperson. I mean,
that is a sale there, Tad, right there on the
way for you. Mike pursued of joining us here, as
I said, Aaron Rodgers speaking yesterday, getting a set for
Steelers and the Bears a one o'clock kickoff right here
on your radio home.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
In this deal DV, wherever you go or whatever you're doing,
you are never too far from your hometown stage.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Tuns on DV or keeping us going.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
We are streaming on all your devices. Just save us
as a priest set on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Hey, it's Randy from the DVL of us this morning,
and Mike Persuda has your sports on the DV morning show.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Sports that Up, brought to you by Bridgevilt Plants.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Aaron Rodgers did not practice yesterday, but after not practicing,
he said he would try to give it a go
today and he also outlined what would have to happen
between now and Sunday for him to be able to
play against the Bears.
Speaker 10 (23:38):
Got to get the okay and gotta feel like I
can protect myself.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Far that was the clip you were talking about.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Just a couple of things. Doesn't seem like it's all.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
About you, okay, and feel like I can protect myself.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
It's kind of making it seem like it's Mike Tomlin's
decision there, big of them.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Got to get the okay.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Yeah, Well, I gotta tell my complaint and I'm gonna play.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Well, right, I don't know that it's gonna work out
that way.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Honestly, do you put any stock in like what Kyle
Brant is saying about you know, hey this, I mean
this dude wants to play against the Bears.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I mean he's gonna play no matter what.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, I don't put necessarily stuck in with Kyle Brandt
says about it. But I put a lot of stock
in what Aaron Rodgers says about it.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
There's incentive for every opponent. But I have enjoyed many
a Sunday and Monday and many Thursdays in that city.
It's a great sports sound phenomena sports fans, and great
place to play.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
You want to hear just a little bit of this
Kyle Brandt's take on that. Sure, for some reason it
is not oh here, it is okay. Yes, he's playing
this game. I don't care if it's a freezing cold take.
It is every single thing he wants to play. He's
a soldier Field, which is his de facto home stadium
he goes. He owns that place. With due respect to
(25:02):
the McCaskey family, their dual owners are Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
We all know that, yes, this is his reason for living,
to go to Chicago and once more dunk their heads
in the toilet and flush against what he's all about.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
All right.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
He does have a career record including playoffs of twenty
six and five against the Packers. His career passer rating
against against the Bears. His career passer rating against the
Bears is one hundred and seven point three, and he's
thrown sixty four touchdowns and ten picks against the Bears.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Pretty good.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
So he likes playing the Bears.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
And beyond what he said and what Kyle Brandt said,
Mason Rudolph said that Rogers teammates here with the Steelers
know that playing the Bears is a pretty big deal.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12 (25:46):
I mean I think he made the comment early on
that he'd you know, there's certain games that mean a
lot and the games you circle, and this is one
of them. And so I understand his you know, motivation
to come back and take the feel against an old rival.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
I wasn't playing for two reasons.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
First, I think if they're going to do anything in
the playoffs, it's going to be with him, and they
need him in December and January. So if there's any
effect whatsoever, if he's not one hundred percent, he should
take a game off.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I agree.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I think they can win with Rudolf. Remember when they
signed Rudolph, I was thinking, Okay, they can go nine
and eight, ten and seven with Mason Rudolph, Probably not
any further. But with Aaron Rodgers, you can talk yourself
into some possibilities, more win in the postseason, you know something, sure,
you know, would you rather see him play Josh Allen
in January with Aaron Rodgers or Mason Rudolph. We saw
(26:44):
that a few years ago with Mason Rudolph wasn't horrible,
but it wasn't good enough. Let's see what it looks
like in a big postseason game with Aaron Rodgers, and
if he's banged up, and clearly he is, why risk it.
I don't think this is the game you do that.
But we'll see how they play. At some other practice
stuff yesterday, Darius Slay concussion, was a full participant, Jalen
(27:06):
Warren ankle didn't practice, Cole Holcombe illness full participant, Alex
high Smith peck did not practice, and then the usual
maintenance stuff. Bears maybe getting some reinforcements, a couple of
their cornerbacks, their top two cornerbacks are practicing again. Kyler Gordon,
who's supposed to be their nickel but only played one
(27:26):
game this year. His twenty one day window to return
from the reserve injured.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
List was opened yesterday.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
He's trying to get over a calf injury, doesn't I
wouldn't think he would play Sunday if he just started
practicing yesterday, But who knows.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Well, they're more careful with caps than they've ever been.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Are they. Yeah, I mean Ken, all these.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
People are getting achilles now, it's like an epidemic of achilles.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Something's happening, and so they're pretty careful. Yeah, Gordon's supposed
to be their nickel. Jalen Johnson, who's supposed to be
a starting corner. His window open last Friday. He's trying
to get over groin injury. So if he does a
full week, maybe he plays against the Steelers on Sunday.
Also for the Steelers, Corey Trice Junior, the twenty one
(28:12):
day window to bring him back from reserve injury closed
yesterday without him being activated.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Man, he will and another wasted a year for Corey Trice.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
He will be on ie or the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Bummer.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
What do you think his career path from here looks like?
Mike in terms of being a three year guy who
has seen the field a total of what four games?
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Maybe they've already kept him way longer than they usually
do with guys in his situation that just can't get
healthy because they think he could be so good if
he could stay healthy. But you know, it doesn't cost
anything to bring him the camp next year and see
how it works up, right, I mean, you're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Ninety guys, right.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I don't think he'd totally give up, but I'm not
real optimistic that it's ever gonna work out.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
That just sucks because I mean, the upshot of that
one was significant to see.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Him walking around out there and running around out there
when he's able to run. He just like and on
the eight when he wasn't in a wheelchair, you know
he but on the eighth day God created cornerback.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I mean that's what he liked.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
His size is Speed's sick, but he can't can't stay light.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
College troops last night, Ducane improves a four and one
with a ninety two seventy eight win over lloy Ola Maryland.
Penn State, Hey, Penn State, your basketball team's eight. Excuse
me five and oh after an eighty four eighty went
over Harvard. Hey, Penn State, you actually have a basketball team.
It's five and oh.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I usually got to see them at recall back in
the day John Imichi was playing.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Back then, Recall was a tremendous venue. Loved recall. Yeah,
which I'm old, folks, and that's it was Recall back then.
Not the Bryce Jordan's and they joined the Big Ten.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
That was no bueno.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
No, it was way too small. It was like a
high school.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
It was really when there's.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
To work out there, you could go use it as
a student. It's probably still there. Yeah, these are for wrestling,
all right.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
There you go when that was a big game and
they would fill it up and the fans are right
on top of the court, and that low celia was
really loud.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
What's off fish there?
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Could you? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Pitt is that UCF. Tonight Panthers are four and one.
Robert Morris is at Saint Bonaventure. Colonials are three and one,
and a couple of good top twenty five games last night,
Number eleven Alabama beat number eight Illinois ninety to eighty six,
and number four Arizona beat number three Yukon seventy one
sixty seven. I've really come around to the theory that anytime.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Yukon loses, it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I'm looking on that. Abby's got your news coming up
at the top of the hour.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
We are going to give some love to the Super
Bowl Shuffle and no big deal. One time William Shatner
pooped his pants while performing live on stage.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I believe it.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Dan Hurley is the gott to be the most handed
coach out there right now, right across the board in sports.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Where do you rank him?
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Who even comes close to him?
Speaker 6 (30:58):
I have to give it wellnybody employed by the University
of Michigan.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, you are biased.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
He's up there. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yeah, we're going to rate our algorithms when we come back. Also,
since Bill has taken off, the pick six segment got
cut in half, so we'll do three and out for
you today, Missy Matthews, Guy Junker talking Steelers.
Speaker 2 (31:17):

Thank outing a Mercedes Benz is out of reach, think

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Ben You're undered very often. I just said to Abby,
I'm like, did you see this on Instagram? Young gravy
standing next to Heather Abraham?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Did I?
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Young Gravy's a tall fella? I mean, now Heather is
he's tall gravy. Yeah. We had a gravy conversation yesterday.
We went through all the gamut of Gravy's.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Only one that matters is turkey.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Great Turkey gravy is the gravy like if you like
on French fries, pretty good, I like it. I like
a darker beef gravy on French fries if I'm being honest,
But I don't mind a turkey gravy. What I hate
is when they give you, like the diner gravy that's
green because it's indiscernible.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
I've never had a diner disrespect me like that.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
I have.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
What do you want it to be? I would like
brown gravy or young gracey sort of brown?
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah, well get it. It's like gumbo that comes pre
made and it's like green. It's like, I don't know
how you got to green from that. It's supposed to
be brown rue, you know, And nobody makes the room
up here, does it takes forever?
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Could kind of go anything on fries, though, I.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Agree with you on that.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I'm not a loaded fry guy, a loaded tot guy, though.
I think people are ruining the fries and the tots.
They're fine on their own nachos. That's a different thing.
A good delivery device. French fries tots. Basically you're going,
we're just gonna mash this all together and you have
to eat it.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
With a fork.
Speaker 14 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
At that point, you're just like putting it in a
vitamins and just lunch gunning it.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
And I like, just give me a good crispy fry.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Each week we like to raid our respective algorithms to
let each other know what is being shown on our
screens because we're all looking at different stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
These days were all right, Abby, let's start with yours.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
So a new parody country song has just dropped and
it's very special.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
It is called cold Beer.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
It is a mashup of fifty different country artists singing
the phrase cold beer over and over. To be fair,
they do mix it up sometimes and say ice cold beer.
But it's blowing up online. It is made by the
there I ruined it guys. And like every single goal
country artist is on here. It's like Blake Sheldon, Zach Brown,
(34:28):
Morgan Wall and Kip Moore, George Strait, Luke Combs, Dustin Lynch.
So every single one that you hear is a different
country artist. But they put it all together in one song.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Co Beer, cold Bear, cold beer.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
Coby Coobe with a cold beer, cold cold beer, a
last cold beer.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Oh Colby in the cool beer.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
Ascoolers told me, hold me old beer.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
There's going beer that cool.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
Go call me.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Beer cool cool.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Cold called me.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Seventeen minutes later, we're all dead.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Is amazing, bom beer.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Oh we listened up.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
How many artists are on there? Does it say the
total fifty? Oh my god, that is amazing. What an
incredible edit you have the list?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Uh, it doesn't list them all, but when you go
through they like all these there are ruined it videos.
When they have the sound files and they like play
through it. You can see they mark each audio file
with who the artist is so whenever you watch it
on YouTube, you can see every single one that's marked.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
But hey, it's a popular topic.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
That was tremendous, a hilarious reduction of the actual state
of country lyrics.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Although it's been like that for a long time. I
would imagine the next one is pickup truck, right.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
It was going to be that or m girl.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, Tad Whistle's hanging out with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Our buddy, Tad. What is in your algorithm this week?
Speaker 8 (36:33):
Yeah, the algorithm and its infinite, infinite wisdom. I think
sort of knows that I've been feeling conflicted, sad. I'm
yearning for the Steelers of yesteryear. Been watching a lot
of old clips and it takes these things into account.
I was fed something the other day, some really old
NFL film stuff, some nineteen sixties Steelers.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Okay, who is this?
Speaker 8 (36:55):
Do we know the linebacker's name? I think is Dave Sell.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
In nineteen sixty seven, Saul Then, a linebacker with the Steelers,
was the first player to wear a wire for NFL films.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Ronnie, that's good, Hi, buddy, come one's yeah, right, buddy,
Come on, you can do a pall let's go crown.
Speaker 9 (37:17):
Right, watch a draw, double wing left blie.
Speaker 14 (37:21):
Come on, let's really stick him everyone, man, all right, okay,
damn it, that's got the point.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Come on, come on, that's it. That's it.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Damn it. He's not that good totally. That's stupid. Hight
damn don't let up, man, don't let up.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Ran good good luck, good luck to That's hilarious.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
First of all, they characterize it as him wearing a wire,
which is funny. But it would have been fun if
we heard some like, uh, you know, indication of what
you know, when it happened, during what time from where
He's like, that's.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Why we don't let you people vote.
Speaker 6 (37:59):
Wait a.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
God, yeah, god, that was racist.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
I imagine it was ten hours of audio that they
were like, this is the cleanest wee guy you could see,
you know in the video is it's like a regular
guy lumbering around. He's like, I guess this is better
than doing concrete work.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
That might have been the first time a guy got
wired up, that's what he said. Yeah, and I think
I've seen that before. At the very end, there's a
little kid that gets on the I think it was
a Pitt stadium and there's a little kid that gets
on the field and tries to get his sportocraft. He's like, no, no,
We're just like get out for this kid.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Well, yeah, we were yet to refine our interactions with
with fans and professional athletes back then.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Mike, what's in your algorithm?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Got a little clip from mom. I got tom is
o here.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
You know, one of the things that sucks about college
basketball now is you can't be mean to the players
anymore because if you yell at them when they screw up,
they just going to the transfer port.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Uh so you gotta you know, be nice and pat
him on the head and say that's okay that you
don't play any defic Well, my guy is that doesn't
roll that way, and he does not roll that way unapologetically.
Speaker 15 (39:12):
You play real good, you start, you don't play as good,
you work your way back in. It's the American way,
except America has gotten soft. But that is an American way.
That's the way it works. And so I apologize to
nobody for that.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I mean, is that a scene from the Godfather that
was caught? Oh my god, you know what it takes
to sell real estate.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
I mean, he sounds exactly like he's at the table
with Vito Corleone.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
He is at the stage. She's spent at Michigan State
over thirty years. She doesn't care what he says anymore.
And help me doing a postgame press conference. Yeah, we
only shut twenty one percent from three. Here's what's wrong
with America.
Speaker 15 (39:54):
He'll say, real good you start, you don't plays good
back in. He's the American way, except the America has
gone soft. But this is an American way. That's the
way it works. And so I apologized to nobody for that.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I mean kidding me, all right, bouncing to mine.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
This is a little bit longer, but I think it's
worth it because it was the discussion we had last week.
UH and PFT and Big Cat our buddies at Pardon
My Take. They had Lawrence Taylor on the show and
they were asking Lawrence Taylor about the.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Many stories of him showing up late.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
You know, we were talking about George Pickens showing up
late and that's why the Steelers ultimately jettisoned him. Jerry
Dulac told the story on Richeisond Show yesterday about George
Pickens that we hadn't even heard before about him showing
up before a game he was supposed to play in. Wait,
we needed to check him medically, and he showed up
too late to get checked and they had to take
him to the hospital and then couldn't determine that Pickens
wasn't gonna play until the game had already started, like
(40:59):
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
But nobody showed up late quite like Lawrence Taylor. How
many time did you show up without sleeping on game day?
On game day? What day they walked through?
Speaker 9 (41:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:12):
Which was yeah, a game day Sunday?
Speaker 14 (41:14):
Oh okay, yeah, no, no, no really Now, I'm I
am a big believer in getting at least, you know,
two or three hours of sleep before a game, you know,
So I got to get a couple you got, you
got to you gotta.
Speaker 15 (41:32):
You know.
Speaker 14 (41:33):
I've been known to come in a little late for
the game.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Would anyone ever say anything?
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Or were they just like that we know.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Is gonna wind?
Speaker 14 (41:40):
What difference does it make if I show up there
at eleven thirty or twelve thirty or one thirty.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
A little second impact something?
Speaker 14 (41:53):
Yeah, I mean, but listen, hey, hey, I show up
on the field I'm there.
Speaker 7 (41:56):
What was the latest you ever showed up?
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Uh second quarter to a game?
Speaker 14 (42:01):
Okay, I just dude, I had a great game playing
that we were playing New England. And this is the
first when they started playing Sunday night football games. She
used to play Monday night football games, but then the
Sunday night football game. So I'm thinking the game is
on Monday night. I don't know why they didn't act,
but I'm just in next, you know, and I'm riding.
(42:24):
I'm riding and I see all all these cars over
at the stadium.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
I said, what's going on over here?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
Got a game?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Man?
Speaker 7 (42:35):
So I got in.
Speaker 14 (42:36):
I got this about second quarter, just about one play before,
well one played before.
Speaker 7 (42:41):
A second game. Didn't have any Yeah, a couple there
we go. Wow.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
He drove past the stadium and said, what's going on there?
Speaker 8 (42:52):
Let's say a concert or something.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
That's how messed up he was all the time, and
Bill ourselves did not care.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
What was the story of the Belichick.
Speaker 6 (43:03):
Belichick complained to Parcels that LT was late for a
defensive meeting, and parcel said, why did you start it
without him?
Speaker 4 (43:11):
I like the stories where he would come in and
he would come in late to a meeting in Belichick
will have already told everybody what their defensive game plan
was for the week, and LT would go no, and
then go up there and like do the Pelay thing
in the movie Victory and.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Like I do this, this this sack, and they're like,
just just let's do what LT wants.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
We'll just do whatever LT wants. That's fine. Abby's got
your news. Next, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Listen, it's no RAMT, but we're going to talk about
the Super Bowl shuffle.
Speaker 13 (43:40):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They
don't go to the office, They build it and Steeler's
Pro Shop get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com.
Speaker 7 (43:53):
Here's tom op froman quarterback.
Speaker 16 (43:54):
Aaron Rodgers spoke to the Steears media yesterday for his
weekly chat and only increased optimism in the quarterback playing
against the Bears. The veteran quarterbacks said that he was
going to try to practice today and would like to
start Sunday in Chicago, but ultimately said that that decision
will be up to coach Mike Tomlin. The Steeler should
probably want Rogers to play just as badly as he
does when you look at the quarterbacks track record when
playing against the Bears in his career. During his eighteen
(44:17):
years in Green Bay, Rogers met the Bears twenty nine
times and walked away with an unbelievable twenty four and
five record. And perhaps even more impressive than the record
is the stats he.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Put up against Chicago.
Speaker 16 (44:28):
Rogers hasn't massed six nine hundred and sixty five yards
thrown for sixty four touchdowns and just ten interceptions for
a passer rating of one hundred and nine. Obviously, neither
Rogers or the Steelers should want to rush things just
to get a win over Rogers's old punching bag, especially
when the team has much greater goals on the horizon.
But it wouldn't hurt to have someone with Rogers' pedigree
(44:49):
when it comes to beating the Bears, seeing as the
Steelers are one in twelve all time in Chicago, with
their lone win coming way back in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 7 (45:00):
I'm off for men with the Dealers report. You see
the skyline
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is w DVE, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I used to be known as Baron Hilton. Now I'm
known as Paris Hilton's grandfather.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, that's because she did a porno.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I mean that will supersede any success that you have
in business when your granddaughter does a world famous homemade
porno tape. 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 think he was helped by that a little bit?
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Yes, I mean he was already he was.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Already kind of sort of irrelevant at that point.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I mean, I mean everybody got to know his uh,
pogg hog is an aggressive term. I was gonna say, uh,
it's an aggressive pod.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It is an aggressive had. But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I think he got onto the microscope a little bit.
I mean, like Pamela Anderson had gotten into the telescope.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I think that's what you mean. It was a planetary
body that we were looking.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
At Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I mean, poor Pamela Lee was really what I was
trying to get to there. You know, she was the
one that suffered greatly from that video.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And then she made a resurgence, came back without makeup,
made a movie, and then you hated her for that.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I didn't hate her for it. You kind of did.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
No, no, no, no, it's not about the sex tape.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Now.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I don't like you because you're a bad actress.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
She is a bad act very bad.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
She's still a bad act By the way, our friend
Tad Whistle's hanging out with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Did you happen to see The Last Showgirl?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Pam Anderson's acting, uh, acting debut, But she was a
lead actress role in a serious role for this movie,
Oscar Buzz, Oscar Bait. It was, you know, a Los
Angeles show girl on her last you know looks, you know,
the last run that she was having there, things were
getting dim in grim.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Aging out of the demo.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Aging out of horror, and everybody's like, oh my god,
what a revelatory performance.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
And I watched it.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I'm like, guys, I feel bad for her too. But
we can't pretend that this is good or that she's good.
She was a terrible actress, but you always like to
point out that she was actually being a good actress
by annoying the pisatomy during that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What I was saying is she embodied the part because
she is the part right exactly. So in a way,
it was kind of hard to tell who was who,
because the whole point was that she was so kind
of enveloped in this character or swallowed up in this
character of somebody who only had value in their sex appeal. Yeah,
(03:06):
and so she it made her this very vapid character
who didn't have a lot of deep connections with people.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
So she played it extremely well, but.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I couldn't tell it's because that's who Pam Anderson was,
or if that's because she was a great actress.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
A little Mickey Rourke and the Wrestler Yes vibe.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That's a good example, excellent, but also the prime example
is Courtney Love in The People versus Larry Flint, Yes,
where they're like, you need to just play a drugged out,
like polyamorous looney and she's like, can do And it
(03:43):
sounded just like that. She's like, I actually have that
one in my quiver. I can pull that. I got it,
I got it.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Does Pam Anderson get a plus two for dating Liam Neeson?
Whin Awards season rolls around?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Well, I think that was all bs.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Right, was it? Yeah? They were breaking Yeah, actually.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I know, yeah that was so when it got announced,
we were all like, oh man, this is so great.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Look how in love they actually seem to be. And
she's baking him muffins.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And then people will be like, wait a minute, isn't
this possibly just a cynical marketing ploy for the Naked
Gun reboot? And then everyone was like, no, you don't
love love. These people are in love. It's great they
found each other. He hasn't had a serious partner since
his wife died twenty years ago, and Pam Anderson has
swept him off his feet. And then the movie promotion ended,
(04:33):
and then like they've not talked since or I haven't
seen each other.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was rooting for them, huck you so hard.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I guess at least the storyline and the public part
of it died down. I don't remember them ever saying
they broke up or anything like that. The only part
that I know what they said this has gas is
because their kids were hanging out with each other and
I was thinking, I don't feel like people would bring
(05:00):
the kids into it if it wasn't something serious.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
But also Hollywood people, maybe they would.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Well, her kids might have just been worried about being taken,
and they thought, you know who's good at making sure
that doesn't happen. That guy, And if Tommy Lee comes
around drunk again, I don't want to end up as
a roadie on the New Motley Creue tour. Yet after
that all ended, they said, oh, no, we were never dating.
We were just good friends. Sure looked like you were dating. Yeah,
(05:26):
I was led to believe you were dating me too.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
The making out was the big tell.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Oh, well on the way for you. Lots of stuff
to get to you today. Three and Out is the
new segment we're doing instead of Pick six. Ever since
Bill decided to depart, Well, I got to do my
end of the things there, so we can't. I'm not
doing six, but I'll do half of it. So instead
of Pick six from now on, it's three and out.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That yeah, well it sounded better than.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
Then.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Oh my hand cramp.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I used to Bitchtabby about writing that all the time.
I'm like, this is hard. It was your job hard?
Oh is writing hard. Oh, I didn't know that because
I don't do anything. Missy Matthews will join us at
age forty five talking Steelers Bears. I'm getting pumped now.
See that's the thing about right well, every time I
write that segment, though, I do get more excited for
(06:17):
the games this weekend, and especially the Steelers game. Steelers
Bears Sunday one o'clock is going to be a doozy,
I believe. And initially I was thinking, like, I want
Mason to play.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
I do.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I'd rather have Mason play because I don't want a
half handed Aaron Rodgers out there. I don't need a
limp wristed quarterback out there. I want a macho man
with a mustache. But in thinking about it, and I
heard Kyle Brant talking about it on rich Eisend Show,
Aaron Rodgers, as much as I have tried to be like, oh,
(06:50):
you know what, the ayahuasca has killed enough of his
ego that he doesn't have those same things that he
had before. We're like, I have to beat the Bears, right,
or I have to beat the Packers, I have to
beat the Jets. Well, I think he still has that
and when it comes to the Bears. He's twenty four
and five against the Bears. Crazy, twenty four and five.
(07:13):
When he got there, the Bears owned the series. When
he left, the Packers were leading the series lifetime. It's
like one of the oldest rivalries thousand games yes, in
the league. And I think it does mean a lot
to him, and this is all he wants to do,
and this is these were the games he wanted a
ball out for. So if you really want an accurate
(07:36):
barometer of what Aaron Rodgers is still capable of, that
might be what you would see this coming weekend now
against Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I would have thought the same thing.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
We didn't see much from him, to be fair, he
was under fire most of the game with.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Am I dreaming?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Did he say yesterday when he was speaking with the
press that it was not only about like, you know,
how he felt physically, but also if he felt protected
like he was going to see.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
How want to be loved? No, well, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's like literally felt like he could perform and felt
protected by the line like that he could actually do it.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
He's reeling from the Pam Anderson, Liam Neeson, That's what
it is like, devastated, like most of us.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Who's going to make him sour?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Though?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Here was the quote about the Bears, whether there's an
incentive for him to get back and play because of
his long rivalry with the Mallers of the Midway.
Speaker 10 (08:32):
There's a center for every opponent. But I have enjoyed
many a Sunday and Monday and Thursdays in that city.
It's a great sports town. Phenomenal uh sports fans, and
great place to play here. He sort of off of
being the villain there a little bit, sort of enjoy
(08:55):
that I'd rather not be. I mean, I'm not in
Green Bay anymore. I feel like we can let bygones
be bygones. Maybe I can. I guess it's been.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
It's a great rivalry.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
I mean, in the history of all sports, you talk
about the Lakers and the Celtics and the Red Sox
and the Yankees, you got to talk about the Packers
and the Bears, and there's been some great memories there.
When I first got to Green Bay, the Bears had
the all time series lead. When I left, the Packers
did Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I just want to point out his face is turning
into lake that grinch smile, you know what.
Speaker 10 (09:33):
I mean, all right, since Jay Love is taken over,
it's even gotten better. But I hope, I hope those
fans can put that, put that behind the I'm sure
they can't. Don't expect them to. But I really enjoyed
the city. They got great sportsmen. I grew up watching
WGN on my five five channel CB back in the day,
so I was a Cubs fan and a Bulls fan.
(09:55):
How can I be a Bulls fan?
Speaker 7 (09:56):
List?
Speaker 10 (09:56):
You know, like Michael Jordan I did. I love them.
So it was a lot of fun memories over the years,
playing that.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
He's the Bill Clinton of quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
He is such a politician, and he's like, no, but
look I beat their ass. Don't get me wrong, but
you know what, I love their TV stations, I do
and Deep Dish. Don't even get me started on Deep Dish.
Love me some Chicago Beef Delicious. I think the clip
that you were talking about is this one.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Abby for you for the appointment?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Oh no, no, no, yeah, there's this one. Okay, Oh nope,
I don't know what happened. I had it here and
then it popped off. I'm sorry, baby. He was talking
about having to protect himself.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
That might be what it was.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It was a little bit of a fever dream, you know,
because he's so dreamy.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Right, yeah, yeah, clearly on the way, as we said,
Missy Matthews, Guy Junker. But Mike Pursuda on yesterday's press
scrum there with the quarterback. Abby's got news now for you.
Our buddy Ted Wessell hanging out with us this morning
on DV. What's up now?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford
Store Dent Fog This.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Morning, I looked outside and I thought it was snowing.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I couldn't tell what was going on there, which that
was insane.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
But it'll be otherwise cloudy today and a high of
forty six. A proposal to bring hundreds of housing units
and a grocery store to Pittsburgh's Strip District earned approval
on Tuesday from the city's Planning commission. Six commissioners voted
in favor of New York based Midwood Investment and Development,
replacing a produce ware house in the corner of twenty
(11:23):
first in railroad streets with a mixed use complex consumer
fresh produce, which is vacating the premises where Midwood plans
to build, doesn't plan to move out of the Strip
District until the spring. The seventy three year old fruit
and vegetable wholesaler is relocating to Lawrenceville, leaving Sunfresh Food
Service on twenty third Street as the only remnant of
(11:44):
the Strip District's legacy wholesale produce industry. The yet to
be named complex will span two buildings, include four hundred
and forty one apartments, twenty three town homes, thirty seven
hundred square feet of retail space, three hundred and forty
four parking spots. A narrow eight story tower will mostly
be filled with housing and parking. But it sounds like
(12:07):
even more development coming to the Strip District.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Who is going to live in all of these places
is what I keep wondering. But they apparently are getting
filled because they continue to build more. I mean, they
desperately have needed a grocery store down there for a
long time. Because you're bringing all these people in to
live in the Strip District, you can't be like, all right, well,
now head to Lawrenceville and get some groceries. Best of
luck to you, mm hmm. But I don't know if
(12:32):
you've seen some of those complexes on Railroad Street.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
There crazy. The ones behind the terminal massive.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
They're like one point two million minimum for like three
bedroom town homes and you share a wall with somebody. Look,
once we're getting into the mills, I'm not sharing no walls.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
That's what I'm thinking too. I want more space than that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Gardell was looking at one of those places. He's like,
are you kidding me? Like, He's like, it's perfect, but
that much money, And I was like, you should buy
one and then I can watch it for you on
the weekends.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, we'll just hang out something.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Exactly, we'll watch it right, Yeah, when I want to
get banged up at the shake shack with Ed Gainey.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Exactly.
Speaker 11 (13:15):
On my block alone, because I'm down there across the
street for me, directly across and directly next to me,
there's two brand new apartment buildings that just went up.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
And I'm not even like at the hub where Abby
was talking about.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
On my square block alone, two new buildings just came out.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Who are all those people, Jacob?
Speaker 11 (13:33):
My building, my building that I'm in is like twenty
units total. The three floors total these buildings are each
eight floors, I think means like one hundred units in
the total in the in those buildings, if not more.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's just like all tech people.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I guess sometimes it's tech people moving in. But I have.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Family friends that were coming from Bethel that are in
I want to say. They're probably in their late seventies
that sold their family Bethel home like where they raised
their children who are adults.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Now, sold it and moved the Strip. They just live
in the Strip now, just like we go to.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Restaurants and we hang at that's the dream I think
it is.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Well, one of our friends is doing that in Bloomfield.
Pp Oh, that's right, is his empty Nestra plan. He's
moving to Bloomfield.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Nice has had a place in Bloomfield for like your
Bloomfieldy're right, yeah, Bloomfeldian what was That's great? Okay, that
would be an awesome plan. The Strip is a little
more expensive. And the other thing I would think about
is like there was never a steel mill in the Strip?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Was there was there a steel mill in the Strip.
I have no idea because I.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Wonder about isn't there a possible Poultergeis situation going on here?
When we're building all of these apartment complexes on Sacred
Steel Ground.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
You know the souls of steel workers. You know of
yesteryear pet cemetery style thing. They can't build it. The
ground is sour, exactly, can't do it right?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Give me an arm.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Are needed in good.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I don't know, I mean kudos and congratulations everyone involves.
Sounds like a lot of people are making a whole
lot of money. I don't know how the hell you
afford to pay that much money to live in the
Strip district.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
But fortunately my Zilo settings when you're scrolling around, protect
me from even knowing that it's possible to buy a
one point two million dollar apartment.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Do you have parameters on your Zillo?
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Oh yeah, you got to cap it. You don't even
want to know how You don't want to dream the
other people live? Yeah, you can't people. No one lived
in the Strip? What you know twenty years ago? I
mean the and it was great, exponential. Yeah, those were
the days.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
And we loved how much blight there was and how
there was absolutely no commerce. This is how it should
be an absolute just graveyard of what once was. And
now there's a Sephora, Now there's restaurants.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I can't get a reservation too.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I mean, that's what drives me crazy down there, and
there's like, I mean the parking, that parking situation back
in parking. Come on, I have been backed up to
the History Center from some jamoke trying to do a
three point turn to get into a parking spot on
the opposite side of the terminal, and it's like there
(16:27):
had to have been a better way than that.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Just because you're willing to wait doesn't mean I am.
I'm glad you think that dude's gonna pull out of
that spot?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
That drives me crazy. There's chill it on his phone,
is what he's gonna do? Five minutes of quiet me
time on my phone? What's going on outside? I have
no idea? And then I don't want to know.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
No, the traffic just backs up all the way because
I literally have been all the way back to the
History Center before, and I'm like, you know, doing the
you know, periscope groundhog move out of the sun roof
of my car, and you see that happening, and I
can't imagine that anybody is okay with it. There needs
to be a law that you can wait a total
(17:09):
of one minute and then after sixty seconds, like it's
a five hundred dollars fine.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
One minute's generous.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Start the clock. One minute is a lot. If you're
behind someone, one minute's a lot.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
One minute's generous.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I agree with you, you'l like forever, but.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Like putting a bow on it. I do love the
Strip District. I love everything that it's done. I was
very worried that all of the development was going to
take away from the character of the Strip District. I mean,
as someone who loves going down there on Saturday mornings,
especially Sunday mornings, and doing the whole Strip District experience,
buying food to make dinner later in the day, eating
too much while you're down there, you know, I'll grab
(17:45):
it an oyster off the street, tip of the accordion player,
all of that crowd.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
I love it all. It's the best. And then we
should we get to be at rollers.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, and then you're this is awesome, and then your
groceries go sour because you're getting hammered at lefties. And
then you know what lefties has gone now, But you
know back in the day and you make some bad
decisions then and you're like, we.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Shouldn't go back to the Strip District.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That I mean the espresso clearly gave us way too
much gas and we drank our faces off. Today all
the groceries have gone bad and we have to order
grub up. That's a time on our tradition, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And really I do love.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
That that, nonwithstanding all the new development, I don't think
is really taken away too much for the purests. And
I have great regard for all of the historical preservation
societies in Pittsburgh throughout the many neighborhoods, and I understand
(18:35):
the importance of keeping that historically as intact as possible.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
But this can only be a good thing, I would
imagine in the long run.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I'm very much just of the school of like changing
it now, I've gotta look at something new, and because
when you drive that railroad street over to jump onto
the you know underneath the convention center there, it's cool looking.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's like, man, they have an awesome you downtown that
the town homes look cool and modern and juxtaposed with
the you know, archaic sort of layout of.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
What the Strip District was set up to be, which
is just manufacturing and loading docks and you know, putting
stuff and taking stuff off of boats.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
And now it has all of that like vibrancy. It
is kind of cool. I don't know how plastic those
houses are, though, because sometimes there is a little rock
ridge element to it, right, you know, it's like, well,
this looks lovely, and then you put your hand on
the wall and fall into your neighbor's living room.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Yeah, they look a little almost you know, AI generated,
computer generated. But they're so nice, and you know, we
don't see nice things all the time. I guess they're
nice and new. It would be cool to have as
part of your routine, Like, you know what, I'm gonna
walk out of my apartment. I'm gonna go hang out
by the river. See what's going on?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yes, their Yeah, there are some rocks. You look at
some trash. It's not the Mississippi though. Yeah, you know
what you're getting into.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Oh yeah, you're going down there and there's a hobo
you know, who takes a bite out of a carp
Got a good one today, Good Lord.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Dense fog again this morning, otherwise cloudy, a high of
forty six.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Betty, we're moving back to Fox Shuttle.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
There are heathens about No, I'm just kidding, but the
strip I'm ultimately happy for it. I was resistant to
the change at first. I still don't know where all
these people are coming from. But because every time I
see a demographic study of Pittsburgh, it's changing in a
way that I don't think that it would be prime
to be like let's build way more housing.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Again it is there's tech people that are coming in
and they need a place quickly, and they are making
a ton of money, and the oh, exposed brick sounds
really nice, and then they get you know, those amazing
like kind of like layout apartments, but kind of to
Tad's point, it's a little wild. It's like I'm playing
like millions of dollars for exposed brick.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
And then when I want to go hang out.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I got to sit by a chocolate river with asexual
fish in it, like.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
And I'm not cool, but also, yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Asexual fishes in the coffee house this weekend.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
They're so good, so good.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
But the I do like the urban kind of cause
play that happens when like, you know, people are like,
I'm living in the city, really where in a castle
that is protected by fences on Railroad Street and everything
looks very nice.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's like, well, I mean it's kind of urban. You know,
it's a little bit urban.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
They can't get me up here.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
That's what it feels like, right, Yeah, they're like, oh, here's.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
The boiling oil batch. Did things really get crazy?
Speaker 10 (21:41):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:41):
No, this is when we this is where we dump
the oil on them. Should they revolt? Yes, that's right.
But I think that the demographic I'm not taking into
account is the one that you were talking about, Abbey,
which is the people who live in the suburbs, who
are like, you know what, I kind of want to
do the third chapter of this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yere in the city.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
It action be on Railroad Street or down in you know,
off Penn Avenue in those new places, because that's a
weird thing when you're sitting at Dianoia's outside and you're
like having a libation and it's beautiful, and then there's
like people walking by with their dog and you're like,
where do you live? How did you bring a dog
down here? You're on twenty seventh or whatever that you know,
(22:21):
it's pretty far out on Penn, but they have places
all over out that way.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, I guess you know.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
It's if you live in the burbs and you want
to get that full experience. I don't know if that's
really the place to do it. But if you don't
want to, you know, do any housework and pay into
an ho that keeps your gutters clean and never cut grass. Yeah,
that's probably a good spot for it.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That's a good point. You should be the spokesperson. I mean,
that is a sale there, Tad, right there on the
way for you. Mike pursued of joining us here, as
I said, Aaron Rodgers speaking yesterday, getting a set for
Steelers and the Bears a one o'clock kickoff right here
on your radio home.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
In this deal DV, wherever you go or whatever you're doing,
you are never too far from your hometown stage.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Tuns on DV or keeping us going.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
We are streaming on all your devices. Just save us
as a priest set on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Hey, it's Randy from the DVL of us this morning,
and Mike Persuda has your sports on the DV morning show.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Sports that Up, brought to you by Bridgevilt Plants.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Aaron Rodgers did not practice yesterday, but after not practicing,
he said he would try to give it a go
today and he also outlined what would have to happen
between now and Sunday for him to be able to
play against the Bears.
Speaker 10 (23:38):
Got to get the okay and gotta feel like I
can protect myself.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Far that was the clip you were talking about.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Just a couple of things. Doesn't seem like it's all.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
About you, okay, and feel like I can protect myself.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
It's kind of making it seem like it's Mike Tomlin's
decision there, big of them.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Got to get the okay.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Yeah, Well, I gotta tell my complaint and I'm gonna play.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Well, right, I don't know that it's gonna work out
that way.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Honestly, do you put any stock in like what Kyle
Brant is saying about you know, hey this, I mean
this dude wants to play against the Bears.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I mean he's gonna play no matter what.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, I don't put necessarily stuck in with Kyle Brandt
says about it. But I put a lot of stock
in what Aaron Rodgers says about it.
Speaker 10 (24:26):
There's incentive for every opponent. But I have enjoyed many
a Sunday and Monday and many Thursdays in that city.
It's a great sports sound phenomena sports fans, and great
place to play.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
You want to hear just a little bit of this
Kyle Brandt's take on that. Sure, for some reason it
is not oh here, it is okay. Yes, he's playing
this game. I don't care if it's a freezing cold take.
It is every single thing he wants to play. He's
a soldier Field, which is his de facto home stadium
he goes. He owns that place. With due respect to
(25:02):
the McCaskey family, their dual owners are Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
We all know that, yes, this is his reason for living,
to go to Chicago and once more dunk their heads
in the toilet and flush against what he's all about.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
All right.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
He does have a career record including playoffs of twenty
six and five against the Packers. His career passer rating
against against the Bears. His career passer rating against the
Bears is one hundred and seven point three, and he's
thrown sixty four touchdowns and ten picks against the Bears.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Pretty good.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
So he likes playing the Bears.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
And beyond what he said and what Kyle Brandt said,
Mason Rudolph said that Rogers teammates here with the Steelers
know that playing the Bears is a pretty big deal.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12 (25:46):
I mean I think he made the comment early on
that he'd you know, there's certain games that mean a
lot and the games you circle, and this is one
of them. And so I understand his you know, motivation
to come back and take the feel against an old rival.
Speaker 7 (26:03):
I wasn't playing for two reasons.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
First, I think if they're going to do anything in
the playoffs, it's going to be with him, and they
need him in December and January. So if there's any
effect whatsoever, if he's not one hundred percent, he should
take a game off.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I agree.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I think they can win with Rudolf. Remember when they
signed Rudolph, I was thinking, Okay, they can go nine
and eight, ten and seven with Mason Rudolph, Probably not
any further. But with Aaron Rodgers, you can talk yourself
into some possibilities, more win in the postseason, you know something, sure,
you know, would you rather see him play Josh Allen
in January with Aaron Rodgers or Mason Rudolph. We saw
(26:44):
that a few years ago with Mason Rudolph wasn't horrible,
but it wasn't good enough. Let's see what it looks
like in a big postseason game with Aaron Rodgers, and
if he's banged up, and clearly he is, why risk it.
I don't think this is the game you do that.
But we'll see how they play. At some other practice
stuff yesterday, Darius Slay concussion, was a full participant, Jalen
(27:06):
Warren ankle didn't practice, Cole Holcombe illness full participant, Alex
high Smith peck did not practice, and then the usual
maintenance stuff. Bears maybe getting some reinforcements, a couple of
their cornerbacks, their top two cornerbacks are practicing again. Kyler Gordon,
who's supposed to be their nickel but only played one
(27:26):
game this year. His twenty one day window to return
from the reserve injured.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
List was opened yesterday.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
He's trying to get over a calf injury, doesn't I
wouldn't think he would play Sunday if he just started
practicing yesterday, But who knows.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Well, they're more careful with caps than they've ever been.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Are they. Yeah, I mean Ken, all these.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
People are getting achilles now, it's like an epidemic of achilles.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Something's happening, and so they're pretty careful. Yeah, Gordon's supposed
to be their nickel. Jalen Johnson, who's supposed to be
a starting corner. His window open last Friday. He's trying
to get over groin injury. So if he does a
full week, maybe he plays against the Steelers on Sunday.
Also for the Steelers, Corey Trice Junior, the twenty one
(28:12):
day window to bring him back from reserve injury closed
yesterday without him being activated.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Man, he will and another wasted a year for Corey Trice.
Speaker 7 (28:20):
He will be on ie or the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Bummer.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
What do you think his career path from here looks like?
Mike in terms of being a three year guy who
has seen the field a total of what four games?
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Maybe they've already kept him way longer than they usually
do with guys in his situation that just can't get
healthy because they think he could be so good if
he could stay healthy. But you know, it doesn't cost
anything to bring him the camp next year and see
how it works up, right, I mean, you're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Ninety guys, right.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I don't think he'd totally give up, but I'm not
real optimistic that it's ever gonna work out.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
That just sucks because I mean, the upshot of that
one was significant to see.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Him walking around out there and running around out there
when he's able to run. He just like and on
the eight when he wasn't in a wheelchair, you know
he but on the eighth day God created cornerback.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I mean that's what he liked.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
His size is Speed's sick, but he can't can't stay light.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
College troops last night, Ducane improves a four and one
with a ninety two seventy eight win over lloy Ola Maryland.
Penn State, Hey, Penn State, your basketball team's eight. Excuse
me five and oh after an eighty four eighty went
over Harvard. Hey, Penn State, you actually have a basketball team.
It's five and oh.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
I usually got to see them at recall back in
the day John Imichi was playing.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Back then, Recall was a tremendous venue. Loved recall. Yeah,
which I'm old, folks, and that's it was Recall back then.
Not the Bryce Jordan's and they joined the Big Ten.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
That was no bueno.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
No, it was way too small. It was like a
high school.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
It was really when there's.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
To work out there, you could go use it as
a student. It's probably still there. Yeah, these are for wrestling,
all right.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
There you go when that was a big game and
they would fill it up and the fans are right
on top of the court, and that low celia was
really loud.
Speaker 7 (30:09):
Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
What's off fish there?
Speaker 7 (30:11):
Could you? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Pitt is that UCF. Tonight Panthers are four and one.
Robert Morris is at Saint Bonaventure. Colonials are three and one,
and a couple of good top twenty five games last night,
Number eleven Alabama beat number eight Illinois ninety to eighty six,
and number four Arizona beat number three Yukon seventy one
sixty seven. I've really come around to the theory that anytime.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Yukon loses, it's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I'm looking on that. Abby's got your news coming up
at the top of the hour.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
We are going to give some love to the Super
Bowl Shuffle and no big deal. One time William Shatner
pooped his pants while performing live on stage.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I believe it.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Dan Hurley is the gott to be the most handed
coach out there right now, right across the board in sports.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Where do you rank him?
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Who even comes close to him?
Speaker 6 (30:58):
I have to give it wellnybody employed by the University
of Michigan.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, you are biased.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
He's up there. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yeah, we're going to rate our algorithms when we come back. Also,
since Bill has taken off, the pick six segment got
cut in half, so we'll do three and out for
you today, Missy Matthews, Guy Junker talking Steelers.
Speaker 2 (31:17):

Thank outing a Mercedes Benz is out of reach, think

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Ben You're undered very often. I just said to Abby,
I'm like, did you see this on Instagram? Young gravy
standing next to Heather Abraham?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Did I?
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Young Gravy's a tall fella? I mean, now Heather is
he's tall gravy. Yeah. We had a gravy conversation yesterday.
We went through all the gamut of Gravy's.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Only one that matters is turkey.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Great Turkey gravy is the gravy like if you like
on French fries, pretty good, I like it. I like
a darker beef gravy on French fries if I'm being honest,
But I don't mind a turkey gravy. What I hate
is when they give you, like the diner gravy that's
green because it's indiscernible.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
I've never had a diner disrespect me like that.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
I have.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
What do you want it to be? I would like
brown gravy or young gracey sort of brown?
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah, well get it. It's like gumbo that comes pre
made and it's like green. It's like, I don't know
how you got to green from that. It's supposed to
be brown rue, you know, And nobody makes the room
up here, does it takes forever?
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Could kind of go anything on fries, though, I.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Agree with you on that.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I'm not a loaded fry guy, a loaded tot guy, though.
I think people are ruining the fries and the tots.
They're fine on their own nachos. That's a different thing.
A good delivery device. French fries tots. Basically you're going,
we're just gonna mash this all together and you have
to eat it.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
With a fork.
Speaker 14 (33:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
At that point, you're just like putting it in a
vitamins and just lunch gunning it.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
And I like, just give me a good crispy fry.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Each week we like to raid our respective algorithms to
let each other know what is being shown on our
screens because we're all looking at different stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
These days were all right, Abby, let's start with yours.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
So a new parody country song has just dropped and
it's very special.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
It is called cold Beer.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
It is a mashup of fifty different country artists singing
the phrase cold beer over and over. To be fair,
they do mix it up sometimes and say ice cold beer.
But it's blowing up online. It is made by the
there I ruined it guys. And like every single goal
country artist is on here. It's like Blake Sheldon, Zach Brown,
(34:28):
Morgan Wall and Kip Moore, George Strait, Luke Combs, Dustin Lynch.
So every single one that you hear is a different
country artist. But they put it all together in one song.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Co Beer, cold Bear, cold beer.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
Coby Coobe with a cold beer, cold cold beer, a
last cold beer.
Speaker 7 (35:00):
Oh Colby in the cool beer.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
Ascoolers told me, hold me old beer.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
There's going beer that cool.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
Go call me.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Beer cool cool.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Cold called me.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Seventeen minutes later, we're all dead.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
Is amazing, bom beer.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Oh we listened up.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
How many artists are on there? Does it say the
total fifty? Oh my god, that is amazing. What an
incredible edit you have the list?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Uh, it doesn't list them all, but when you go
through they like all these there are ruined it videos.
When they have the sound files and they like play
through it. You can see they mark each audio file
with who the artist is so whenever you watch it
on YouTube, you can see every single one that's marked.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
But hey, it's a popular topic.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
That was tremendous, a hilarious reduction of the actual state
of country lyrics.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Although it's been like that for a long time. I
would imagine the next one is pickup truck, right.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
It was going to be that or m girl.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, Tad Whistle's hanging out with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Our buddy, Tad. What is in your algorithm this week?
Speaker 8 (36:33):
Yeah, the algorithm and its infinite, infinite wisdom. I think
sort of knows that I've been feeling conflicted, sad. I'm
yearning for the Steelers of yesteryear. Been watching a lot
of old clips and it takes these things into account.
I was fed something the other day, some really old
NFL film stuff, some nineteen sixties Steelers.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Okay, who is this?
Speaker 8 (36:55):
Do we know the linebacker's name? I think is Dave Sell.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
In nineteen sixty seven, Saul Then, a linebacker with the Steelers,
was the first player to wear a wire for NFL films.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Ronnie, that's good, Hi, buddy, come one's yeah, right, buddy,
Come on, you can do a pall let's go crown.
Speaker 9 (37:17):
Right, watch a draw, double wing left blie.
Speaker 14 (37:21):
Come on, let's really stick him everyone, man, all right, okay,
damn it, that's got the point.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Come on, come on, that's it. That's it.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Damn it. He's not that good totally. That's stupid. Hight
damn don't let up, man, don't let up.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Ran good good luck, good luck to That's hilarious.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
First of all, they characterize it as him wearing a wire,
which is funny. But it would have been fun if
we heard some like, uh, you know, indication of what
you know, when it happened, during what time from where
He's like, that's.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Why we don't let you people vote.
Speaker 6 (37:59):
Wait a.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
God, yeah, god, that was racist.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
I imagine it was ten hours of audio that they
were like, this is the cleanest wee guy you could see,
you know in the video is it's like a regular
guy lumbering around. He's like, I guess this is better
than doing concrete work.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (38:20):
That might have been the first time a guy got
wired up, that's what he said. Yeah, and I think
I've seen that before. At the very end, there's a
little kid that gets on the I think it was
a Pitt stadium and there's a little kid that gets
on the field and tries to get his sportocraft. He's like, no, no,
We're just like get out for this kid.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Well, yeah, we were yet to refine our interactions with
with fans and professional athletes back then.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Mike, what's in your algorithm?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (38:48):
Got a little clip from mom. I got tom is
o here.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
You know, one of the things that sucks about college
basketball now is you can't be mean to the players
anymore because if you yell at them when they screw up,
they just going to the transfer port.
Speaker 7 (38:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Uh so you gotta you know, be nice and pat
him on the head and say that's okay that you
don't play any defic Well, my guy is that doesn't
roll that way, and he does not roll that way unapologetically.
Speaker 15 (39:12):
You play real good, you start, you don't play as good,
you work your way back in. It's the American way,
except America has gotten soft. But that is an American way.
That's the way it works. And so I apologize to
nobody for that.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I mean, is that a scene from the Godfather that
was caught? Oh my god, you know what it takes
to sell real estate.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
I mean, he sounds exactly like he's at the table
with Vito Corleone.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
He is at the stage. She's spent at Michigan State
over thirty years. She doesn't care what he says anymore.
And help me doing a postgame press conference. Yeah, we
only shut twenty one percent from three. Here's what's wrong
with America.
Speaker 15 (39:54):
He'll say, real good you start, you don't plays good
back in. He's the American way, except the America has
gone soft. But this is an American way. That's the
way it works. And so I apologized to nobody for that.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I mean kidding me, all right, bouncing to mine.
Speaker 4 (40:16):
This is a little bit longer, but I think it's
worth it because it was the discussion we had last week.
UH and PFT and Big Cat our buddies at Pardon
My Take. They had Lawrence Taylor on the show and
they were asking Lawrence Taylor about the.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Many stories of him showing up late.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
You know, we were talking about George Pickens showing up
late and that's why the Steelers ultimately jettisoned him. Jerry
Dulac told the story on Richeisond Show yesterday about George
Pickens that we hadn't even heard before about him showing
up before a game he was supposed to play in. Wait,
we needed to check him medically, and he showed up
too late to get checked and they had to take
him to the hospital and then couldn't determine that Pickens
wasn't gonna play until the game had already started, like
(40:59):
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
But nobody showed up late quite like Lawrence Taylor. How
many time did you show up without sleeping on game day?
On game day? What day they walked through?
Speaker 9 (41:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:12):
Which was yeah, a game day Sunday?
Speaker 14 (41:14):
Oh okay, yeah, no, no, no really Now, I'm I
am a big believer in getting at least, you know,
two or three hours of sleep before a game, you know,
So I got to get a couple you got, you
got to you gotta.
Speaker 15 (41:32):
You know.
Speaker 14 (41:33):
I've been known to come in a little late for
the game.
Speaker 7 (41:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Would anyone ever say anything?
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Or were they just like that we know.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
Is gonna wind?
Speaker 14 (41:40):
What difference does it make if I show up there
at eleven thirty or twelve thirty or one thirty.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
A little second impact something?
Speaker 14 (41:53):
Yeah, I mean, but listen, hey, hey, I show up
on the field I'm there.
Speaker 7 (41:56):
What was the latest you ever showed up?
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Uh second quarter to a game?
Speaker 14 (42:01):
Okay, I just dude, I had a great game playing
that we were playing New England. And this is the
first when they started playing Sunday night football games. She
used to play Monday night football games, but then the
Sunday night football game. So I'm thinking the game is
on Monday night. I don't know why they didn't act,
but I'm just in next, you know, and I'm riding.
(42:24):
I'm riding and I see all all these cars over
at the stadium.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
I said, what's going on over here?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
Got a game?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Man?
Speaker 7 (42:35):
So I got in.
Speaker 14 (42:36):
I got this about second quarter, just about one play before,
well one played before.
Speaker 7 (42:41):
A second game. Didn't have any Yeah, a couple there
we go. Wow.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
He drove past the stadium and said, what's going on there?
Speaker 8 (42:52):
Let's say a concert or something.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
That's how messed up he was all the time, and
Bill ourselves did not care.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
What was the story of the Belichick.
Speaker 6 (43:03):
Belichick complained to Parcels that LT was late for a
defensive meeting, and parcel said, why did you start it
without him?
Speaker 4 (43:11):
I like the stories where he would come in and
he would come in late to a meeting in Belichick
will have already told everybody what their defensive game plan
was for the week, and LT would go no, and
then go up there and like do the Pelay thing
in the movie Victory and.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Like I do this, this this sack, and they're like,
just just let's do what LT wants.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
We'll just do whatever LT wants. That's fine. Abby's got
your news. Next, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Listen, it's no RAMT, but we're going to talk about
the Super Bowl shuffle.
Speaker 13 (43:40):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They
don't go to the office, They build it and Steeler's
Pro Shop get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com.
Speaker 7 (43:53):
Here's tom op froman quarterback.
Speaker 16 (43:54):
Aaron Rodgers spoke to the Steears media yesterday for his
weekly chat and only increased optimism in the quarterback playing
against the Bears. The veteran quarterbacks said that he was
going to try to practice today and would like to
start Sunday in Chicago, but ultimately said that that decision
will be up to coach Mike Tomlin. The Steeler should
probably want Rogers to play just as badly as he
does when you look at the quarterbacks track record when
playing against the Bears in his career. During his eighteen
(44:17):
years in Green Bay, Rogers met the Bears twenty nine
times and walked away with an unbelievable twenty four and
five record. And perhaps even more impressive than the record
is the stats he.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Put up against Chicago.
Speaker 16 (44:28):
Rogers hasn't massed six nine hundred and sixty five yards
thrown for sixty four touchdowns and just ten interceptions for
a passer rating of one hundred and nine. Obviously, neither
Rogers or the Steelers should want to rush things just
to get a win over Rogers's old punching bag, especially
when the team has much greater goals on the horizon.
But it wouldn't hurt to have someone with Rogers' pedigree
(44:49):
when it comes to beating the Bears, seeing as the
Steelers are one in twelve all time in Chicago, with
their lone win coming way back in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 7 (45:00):
I'm off for men with the Dealers report. You see
the skyline
