Grove City. We're friends.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
You need me to pick you up, I go up

I've picked you up before, like uh Rooric Toyota, that's
in the city.

I'm a great friend. I am rock solid.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
I'm that guy. And then I bet I took you
to lunch.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You did, okay, apologize for like three weeks after that.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm so sorry you had to pick me up.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
So sorry you had to pick me up, and I'm like,
that's the kind of friend that I am though too.
It's like, dude, you do one tiny thing for me,
I'll apologize for a year.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
I am so sorry. How can I make it up
to you financially? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Exactly?

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Can we Can we assert some sort of payment play
in here?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, financially where we don't actually have to, you know,
be emotional about it.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Our packed house today includes comedian Ian Bagg, who is
going to be at the improm all weekend long. Plus
Cam Hayward's gonna call us in about eight minutes. FYI,
We're gonna be talking to Cam.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Hayward very soon.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Hey, yeah, Sean Colliers in studio with us too, And
that new Wicked movie did is everybody k on the
set of Wicked. Every time I see a video from
the set of Wicked with those Cynthia Arrivio as I
say your name and uh uh Ariana Grande, they don't
seem okay. They seem mentally unwell.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
It feels like the whole movie is like coming off
of Molly at all times, like everyone's just weepy and
still energized, but a little threadbare.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well, I think I know how I could regulate their emotions.
H give them a sandwich.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
I mean, these women.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Are like I saw a side by sides of them
before they filmed these two movies and after and all
three of the women is it Michelle Ye and Cynthia
and Arianna. They they look sickly. They look like they're bones.
They look I mean, I don't want to make a
crude comparison. They look like they're not well physically at all.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
There's some speculation that they, you know, made Arianna look
a little bit more healthy than she is, that maybe.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
They digitally put weight on her.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
It looks like because if you've seen her on the
red carpet especially, Yeah, there's a lot of boniness to
her that is less present in the film that they
may have like cgied down some of those which well they.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Say the camera adds ten pounds.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Yeah, I mean she needs it. Just keep a camera
on her at all times. It's no, you feel bad
for her, Like I'm not. I'm not joking.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's just like, no, not a weird phenomenon that's happening,
because they all look like they are, like they're really sick. Yeah,
they're wasting away now. Jeff Goblin looks fine. He just
seems to be having a Now he's he's still buff
at seventy, right, isn't he seventy?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I think he is.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Did you see the Madame Tussau's wax figurine of him?
You literally cannot tell which one is the figurine.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's insane. I think the wardrobe is the only thing
gives it away.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Compliment to the wax figurine sculptor, or to Jeff.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Goldblumph, I'm just how weird he looks. Yeah, right, it's
the waxiest man in Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
But I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's like the people who filmed Shingler's List aren't having
as much trauma as the people who did Wicked.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Right. That was the crude comparison I didn't want to make.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
It just it's like there are much more traumatic movies
to make, and people are walking away from this one
and they can't function.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, it's very strange to me. And they're and they're
all weepy. They're they're like weepy in crying all the time.
And it's like, I'm glad you were really into this. Yeah,
it's it's a Wizard of Oz movie. It's not you know,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I think I think they really like each other, which
is nice. No, that's that part's cool. That's nice and everything.
But did you see this interview where Cynthia starts crying
when a helicopter flies over and Ariana ground has to
Grande has to console her or the helicopter.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
She's got her hands over her eyes, crying the soda
you have the time helicopter and she's catching her breath.
They're like falling into her hands.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Ariana Grande's telling the helicopter to go away. Cynthia can't
stop crying because a helicopter flew over. Now, paparazzi, that
is that what the trigger is there? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
But Cynthia Rivo almost like body dove in front of
Ariana Grande last week because like somebody from the crowd
tried to hug Ariana or like jump in front of her.
I had a red carpet event and it had some
girlfriend energy, not like this is my best friend, like

(05:49):
like that's my wife, Like.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, and listen, I'm not saying that they are.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'm just saying that that is Also another speculation is
that this goes beyond. You know, I made a best
friend on this movie set like this is an emotional
intimacy that we have not seen before.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
I don't even think it's romantic.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I think it's cult like it's very much.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
It feels like they're all in a cult where they're
not allowed to eat.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Anyways. I hope it's worth it. I hope the movie's great.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
They all die at the Oscars. It was a pact.
The show ends on. Every member of the Wicked cast
is still in the chairs.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
What's going? Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's the only way they can break the spell of
Oz is if they win the Oscar and then they
like eat the statue on the stage. Finally, Cynthia Rivo
is a remarkable performer, and based on this stuff, how
fragile she seems to be.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Apparently you didn't need to be big to have a
big voice. Fragile is the worst in every way, shape
and form.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Here.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
It is strange to me to see these people in
the profession that they are in with that level of fragility.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Well, and you pictured the opera performer, you know, solid
as a rock, right, and that's what her voice sounds like.
She's got that big rich full voice, and it seems
like if you ran past her really fast, she might
fall over.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
All right, Well, Sean will give us the full review
a little bit later on this morning. As I said,
Cam will be joining us shortly. By the way, Buzz
Poets are in the coffee house today, so that's pretty cool. Yeah,
today's show's loaded, and we've already had Dave Danishek and
Eric Lawrence from levon Helm's Midnight Ramble Band kicking things
off this morning.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Are there any tickets left by the way for there?

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yesterday? There were a couple a dozen left, So I'm
looking and I'll send a text, but I'm.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Guessing it's gonna I would.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Tell folks, just personally as somebody who's been to it before,
if you were thinking about it, today would be the
day I would say, pounce on the tickets, because if
you think you're gonna get them on Saturday, I would say,
I don't think you are.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah, like I said, there's a couple dozen left.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
They're probably going to go today and you can get
them at the Mister Small's box office or through the
link at DVE dot com.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
So while we wait for Kmabby bring us up today.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
What's happening is this hour brought to you by Keystone
Basement Systems Wet Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. It's foggy
this morning, cloudy today, a high of fifty one. Saturday,
we're gonna have rain early, then cloudy and a high
of fifty which is good because the Light Up Night
festivities really kick off tomorrow night, so it sounds like
it'll be at least dry for that part of it.

(08:25):
If you're going to head downtown Sunday, mostly sunny and
then a high of fifty three. And speaking of that,
with the light up Night stuff, this is kind of
good for those getting into the Christmas spirit.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
A Pittsburgh dairy has.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Introduced an adult version of its classic eggnog. Pennils based
Turners has concocted a version of its traditional drink of
rich and creamy vanilla mixed with spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon,
and clothes.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
It is now.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Coming with a kick of alcohol and you can get
it at select Giant Eagle locations.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Wasn't all eggnog adult to begin with?

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I don't know that the Turner's one that was available, Okay,
so everybody had alcoholic.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Like when you buy eggnog, it's usually just the eggnog
concoction and then you got to put booze in it.
It's like Collins mix. Well, yeah, I mean I think
it's good on its own. Like I drank eggnog as
a kid, it didn't have booze in it. It was
just you know, eggnog better now though, right, I.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Am not a fan.

Speaker 7 (09:20):
I mean I drink horns juice. It's fine, but better
with booze.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Sure, I'm not a fan of any creamy booze, you
know what I mean. I don't like to have those
two things mix. It seems like an unnatural pairing.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Seems like you're gonna get sick.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Like, I don't like right, white Russians or any of
that stuff unless I'm at a bowling alley.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
I don't know, that's not that's not even my favorite movie.
But if I'm at a bowling alley, I'm like, oh,
you just go full of Bowski on it. The dude
has ordered for.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Me and through me.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Well this moment, I'll imbibe in his other favorite hobby
rather than go white Russians on that one, because it
just curdles my stomach. Eggnog is so viscous too that
it feels weird to be like, I immediately feel my
throat start to constrict.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
It's a bad name too, it's a bad name. I
avoided it always because of that.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
It just sounded like something that was gonna give me
bubble guts.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Sounds like something that you don't want to look up
on Urban Dictionary.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
You But the first time I had it was.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Last year with Rick seback.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
He brought it in for us along with some other
delicious treats, some of which I believe he made in
his own kitchen. But he did bring us eggnog, and
that was the first time I ever had it.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, delicious, and that was delicious. He also had like
cookies that he made member that. Yeah, those were scene.
Those were so good. And I don't even I usually
don't like cookies that don't have chocolate chips in them
or some sort of chocolate. I just I don't know,
chocolates might thing, but those were like raisin and I

(10:56):
don't know rum raisin or.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Something like that.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
They did have a lot of spice them, and I
know that he was rattling them off.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I also didn't care.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I feel like it's one of those like baptisms where
if Rick Seabeck says, I made you personally me a cookie,
I don't care what the hell's in it. I could
be allergic to it and I'll snort it.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Well, there you go, Rick, you got to come back. Well,
it's we're almost there. I mean we're a couple of
weeks away. That's true from Saint Rick coming back.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
I hope so.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
And apparently present them in a powder for Abby, she's
like cookies. Snort your cookies sound sturdy?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Does if there is any time of year kind of
now that we're talking about Christmas, a little bit that's
good for saving money. This is not usually it, and
a lot of people are already stressing over money for
holidays and gifts and events.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
There's not really an easy solution here.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
But there was a guest on Fox News that shared
some holiday money saving advice and the biggest one was
don't buy gifts for grandma. This was a financial coach
named Jay That's hilarious Corsa, and she urged shoppers to budget, budget, budget,
and remember adults don't need gifts. Focus on people in
your life. People who are the ages of three to eighteen.

(12:13):
Grandma doesn't need slippers. And if they don't live by
you don't get them a gift.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
How long could she possibly stay mad at you. She's
not gonna remember, not going to.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Be around her gift. Yeah, that grudge won't last long.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
Ago law that you didn't remember me at Christmas, she's
gonna be mad at me.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
So my siblings and I have a disagreement on this
because I think when i'm I'm the godfather to you know,
I think I have three godchildren, and my theory is
that's your whole life, Like for the rest of my life.
I'm buying them stuff I don't care. And my older

(12:53):
sister's like, no, no, no, no, no. The second they
graduate high school, they're they're an adult land. I was like,
no way, dude, I send them cash in college so
they can go out and like get drinks, you know,
like you know every so often, like happy birthday, here
go buy your friend's shots, you know what I mean, Like,
I think it should continue, and she she is adamant,

(13:14):
uh uh no, that has to stop. And I'm like,
well it stopped for us because we had cheap aunts
and uncles who were just kind of like, they're sixty
four cousins in my family, so they couldn't possibly keep
up with the demand.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
I get it.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
But she's right, you think, so, yeah, they got to
stand on her own at some point. Now, event like
their life depends on it. Eventually they'll get older and
you'll be in the bar and you can trade buying
rounds and all that.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
But yeah, I agree with your sister.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I like that you take the role so seriously.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well, I'm not going to do the church thing, so
I might as well buy in presents something else.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
I like that.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
Yeah, well maybe eighteen might be a little or that
maybe college through college would probably be Yeah, so a
decent extension. But yeah, well if they're twenty nine, yeah,
my god children are out of college, then they're done.
See I still sell them and that's it.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, and it'stuft for the house.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
I bought my one godchild a vape because she was, well,
the godparents are supposed to keep them alive.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
She's twenty three. She lives in a state where it's legal,
and I didn't like that she was using combustible stuff.
You know, that's actually And I was like, here's a
flower vape. Stop putting fire in your lungs. If you're
going to do this, all right, And she's like this
is great. I'm like, all right, well there you go.

(14:39):
And I asked her parents first. I'm like, because, well,
what if I sent them a bottle of wine?

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Nobody would say anything.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
Right, no, as long as it's even now, you have
to buy them all vapes.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
To be fair.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
I had an aunt and uncle who would hide Easter
eggs around the house and they would have someone to
have candy, but most of them would have cash, right,
which was great.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
We loved it.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
Only they cut it off when one set of cousins
was still like five and six. They were just over
it because my older cousins were pretty much grown. We
were thirteen to fourteen, and they were like, ah, that's it,
We're done. And you could see the six year olds
going like I was still into this. I was still
enjoying the eggs and the free money every Easter. They

(15:25):
were like, no, we're washing our hands of this tradition.
So you got to buy them all vapes.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
But I do like the idea that buying your grandparents
something is like like those from Fox News.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Yeah, that's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
The old people die, Like, isn't that their fan base?

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
They're like, wait a minute, we're all grandparents, but you
gotta do something for grandma, right, Like you might not
have to buy them, you know, a Nordic track, but like,
let's get them just just a little something to show
that you know you're thinking of them this time of year.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Until my grandmother passed, I always bought her chocolate covered
marshmallows because whenever I was little, her go to favorite
like thing to eat was pinwheels. Yeah, and so I
was like, I'm just gonna go to like Sarah's and
get her like, you know, the more bougie version of
a pinwheel.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh you know.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
So every year, and because because she was the kind
of grandma. And this is like throughout all of the
Italian women in my family, no matter what gift you
give them, they will give it back to you immediately.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
But I can't. No, no, no, you can't spend your money.
You can't spend your money on me, oh no no no.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
And so like, no matter what, you would give them
as much as you would put thought into it, and
gift giving sometimes.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Is for you. Sometimes you want to give the gift.
It feels good to give a gift of people, Randy.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
So sometimes you want to do that because you want
to show the other person that you care about them.
But I'm used to my mother too. All all of
the gifts I've ever given.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
To her I have now, Well that's why I have
the work around with my mom, because she's just as
reluctant to take a gift that's just for her. So
I buy her things that she can mediately immediately unwrap
and let us share. So it's like I will buy
her food or booze that I know she'll immediately pop
and then we're all going to enjoy it. Yeah, And

(17:18):
then she's like, oh, then I can share this with
that's because she doesn't want to have it, you know,
like and look at it and then feel the guilt
of like, oh.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
This is racking up points. I'm in a deficit now,
you know.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
But she will if I'm like, hey, I've got two
pounds of frozen perch, do you want it? She'll take that,
you know what I mean, Like non gifts like that,
she's down with, Oh yeah, I'll take that.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
I'll put it in the freezer.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, I like that plan food would work.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Food in booze for for the parents who are uncomfortable
with gifts, and they immediately turn it around and give
it back to you.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
I tried one year to give my mom a roomba
because my mom's a cleaner, and I was like thinking, okay,
you know, they have a nice size house.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
This would see me think it was an insult.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
She at first seemed so gracious and so kind about it,
and it's like, oh my god, this is amazing because
I thought she could put it in her basement especially,
and it was going to save her time and all
this stuff. And then a few weeks later I noticed
that there was no roomba, and then she just said.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
I can clean better on my own.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
And then you know what, two months later, you know
what she got me?

Speaker 8 (18:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Was it the same room? Ba? Yeah, it was like
old school. This is the very same one she regifted
the ruma. You regifted room. The room.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
It was the box, kind of beat up, looked like
it had been open to this.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
You got to give you can't can't regift it to
the same person. Regifting is okay, provided you do not
give it right back to the person who gave it
to you.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
I you don't have an issue with that. Maybe I
wanted a room. Did you want a roomba?

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah it's busted now, but yeah, broken rumba. I got
a broken rumb I do have a question.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't know what there was a store.

Speaker 3 (19:07):

defense is good.

Speaker 7 (19:25):

whole basis.

So I was just like I was trying to put
it all together. Oh my godnes I'm putting head headphones on.
Hold on, everybody, You're going to America. That is right there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, like we're on the air, we're talking. My phone
is ringing Ian bag Ian bag and I'm like, well, I'm.

Speaker 8 (20:45):
On the air.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
I can't do anything about it. And then the big
text message prompt comes through. I'm in your lobby.

Speaker 9 (20:51):
I've been there for quite a while. I got to
hear all your Christmas talk. Hey buddy, uh And I'll
tell you what. My mom was the best at Christmas,
and I didn't realize until after she passed that we
really should have done it in January.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Every year ago. How about we do in January this
year because everything's much cheaper. Oh I like that.

Speaker 9 (21:17):
Yeah, so I was just like, oh, so smart. But
when you're a kid, you're like, no, I want it now.
I can't go back to school with nothing because we
do it January first, we pretend.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
New Year's christ she really did this and Christmas is
New Year's.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Who's going to find out now, Mike, the Serbs Christmas
is did you actually when you were growing up?

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Did you do it that way? Or did you do
We did both because I want to be Serbian. It
was half and half our.

Speaker 7 (21:45):
Parents, to your pointing, and our parents didn't want us
to feel like weirdo kids.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Right.

Speaker 7 (21:48):
That didn't get anything for I've talked you before. You
gotta you know, you gotta go out in the neighborhood
on Christmas Day, I got a truck or whatever.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yeah, exactly. Then we got some more stuff on January seventh.
That's kind of cool. But we also had to go
to church twice. So in those.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Serbian church, those are slogs times three in the language
i'd never got.

Speaker 9 (22:08):
Yeah, as an outsider of church, which is the best
religion to go with?

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Oh well, here's the thing I will say about Catholicism
as it pertains to length of service.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
It is the one mass that very much depends on
the mood of the priest. You can go in.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I mean, there was a priest at Saint James Parish,
which was one of the two that we would go to,
Father McCormick.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
If my dad knew Father McCormick had mass.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
He would change his schedule because it was at least
twenty minutes shorter than follow a tool, So he would
go to run a hurry up. Did hey yeah, he go,
he go, Oh hey, father McCormack's got five fifteen Saturday.
We're going five fifteen Saturday. We like I get baseball
practice though three doesn't matter. Picking you up and then
we're going. Because he knew you go in. And my
dad's other favorite thing to do was to stand in

(22:52):
the back because that mass would get crowded, so he
would know if you got there just a little bit late,
then you wouldn't even have to sit down. You could
kind of step in and you'd sit there grab a bulletin.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
That was key.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
We had to have the bulletin because it was like
it was our ticket to God. It's like, do you
have a receipt that you were at church today? Yes,
I got the bullet to blow out the comedian after.
You had to wait until after the community because as
soon as like that happened, you could get out of there.
So the total time, the total time in and out
would be like twenty five minutes.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
And my dad would be like, look at that.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
He would like, tell you what time it was when
you got out of the lies, you know, out of
the oldsmobile. He'd be like, look at it right now,
five sixteen, let's go, and you'd get back in the car.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
It would be like five forty two. That's a record.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
No, Like he was, he was obsessed with how quickly
we could get in and out of magic that Father
McCormick would not bloviate.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
In his sermons.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
He would just get on the pulpit and be like,
be good to each other, it's nice outside.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Let's get going. You know, we're talking an hour and
a half at least. That's the middle. That's when we
went to the Catholic Church. It wasn't like that. And
it's just a lot of confusion on our part aerobics
that we only go when Grandma and Grandpa came to town.
That's that would be the problem.

Speaker 9 (24:03):
And Mom treated like we'd actually been going to church,
and and my sister would be just be messing.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
It up the whole time, just all the words. You
didn't know any of the words, not none of the words,
not out for the brand everything. Yeah, I want a
piece of Jesus. I want to.

Speaker 9 (24:23):
From the outside. I see the best religion out there
right now is Mormons.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Because they give you a bike. I'm just you got it.
You got, you got a precursor to work at enterprise.

Speaker 10 (24:36):
Uh, you got.

Speaker 9 (24:37):
But they give you they give you heaven right on earth.
Because if you want a bike when you're a kid,
and then you get a trip to the Philippines, you've
got to really think about these religions.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
You got to talk to people in your town though.
That's that's the challenge you got to. You have to
go talk to people. You have to meet other strangers
and discuss things. O keep me out of that. That's
the mission. That's that you have to go to the Philippines.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
You have to.

Speaker 9 (24:59):
I love the kids that get at the mission and
they get long beach, they have to go covert. The people,
the people living on the water. Oh, let me tell
you about heaven. You mean right out there with come on,
but put it together.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Have you seen the sunset? Yeah? Where thing's going? Well here,
I don't know what you guys are.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Up to better than this Ian You are at the
improv tonight and tomorrow? Are you You're not doing Sunday shows?

Speaker 4 (25:24):
No, I don't believe in that. Yeah. Well church, yeah, yeah,
in my church, of course. I mean the Steelers are yeah,
otherwise known as the airport ned. It's a beauty. Yeah,
it's a beauty. It yeah, I was. It was luggage
was so quick to get to.

Speaker 9 (25:41):
Really, you get to the luggage area quick, and then
it takes an hour for your luggage to get there.
It's weird because it used to they used to time it.
You'd walk through the airport for four days and your
luggage would.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Be there, right. So now you just walk across in
your luggage.

Speaker 9 (25:55):
Come they tell you it's going to be an hour
before your luggage can get there. So yeah, I loved it,
and and your freaky statues are moved into an area.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
I see now, I saw this.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
The the famous Franco Harris statue and George Washington are
now put in.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
They're not out in the open, They're they're behind glass, right, Yeah,
I don't they're they're in a booth kind of thing.
But I don't know if it's covered that booth.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
They got sick of people touching Franco's butt on their
way to Florida.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
But that was part of the taking selfies with Franco
in the airport. Now now you can't step up and
do that.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Who's the other one?

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Rachel Carson, No, Nellie Bly and George Washington yea, And
who's having a.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Moment with this new ken Burns documentary. I mean George,
we really claim George Washington.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
I mean what he drives through town once on a
wagon like he landed here on Washington.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
He almost drowned on the river there. Oh my goodness.
To even read the book Pittsburgh, the story more places.

Speaker 9 (26:56):
They're taking the wrong people out of this country, The
Americans gotta go.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
I don't nothing about this life.

Speaker 9 (27:04):
It's funny because I'm studying for my citizenship test and
I'm just reading all the others you're coming in. I'm
just like, uh, we gotta get this done because I'm
concerned about things. So I got so you're reading me,
you're like, oh, they broke that one. Well they broke
that one. Yeah, oh yeah, no, there's no question. It's
really funny.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
But now with your Canadian citizenship, did you have like
you know, I know that, particularly in LA, there's a
bunch of skittish people who are thinking, I need to
have Canadian citizenship.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Have you They've all been calling. Yeah, they're asking you
for what's the inroads?

Speaker 9 (27:34):
Yeah yeah, and I'm just like, I can hook you up,
but you're gonna have to work on a mine, right,
nobody's put any thought into it, you know what the
Yukon is, right, Yeah, you're gonna I don't know if
you read about the gold rush, but one of you
is not coming home.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
How about you just have to watch the leafs for
a year. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. How about
if you watch them for twenty five like some people
are doing a year. Oh my goodness, so close last year,
so close, so close yet to winning the second round?

Speaker 9 (28:02):
Or what what do they get that they got to
the second round, right, I thought they got to the
conference championship last year.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Now, okay, I know it's been a while since they
won the cup. That that much is definitely true.

Speaker 7 (28:13):
When I say a while, i'd be like the sixties.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Is this season though so Hard, Buddy ian Bag is
live in studio with us.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
He's at the Improv all weekend long four one two four, six,
two five two three three or Improv dot Com. I
can't believe these shows aren't sold out already. And you
know why, a cloud. I don't think they have to
be because I don't think if they're not sold out,
it's only because people didn't know you were in town,
because you are a DVE favorite.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
I love the DV And last night we had somebody
that I met years ago, how many years, just before
the pandemic right twenty nineteen came in. We went down
to the Ppeje Fains.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
We are the DVE Fiftniversary Comedy Fest. Was it PPG
Paints Arena and The lineup was Billy Gardell, Bill Burr,
Roywood Junior, Ian Bagg, and Jessica Kerson with Bill Crawford
and Uh, I was just kind of the h I
kicked off the night, but I didn't host. Gardell hosted

(31:19):
the whole show.

Speaker 7 (31:20):
Yeah, best line up there since the twenty sixteenth thing.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
I like that.

Speaker 9 (31:26):
It's an amazing Like when I tell people that lineup,
they're like, what, yeah, we all got seven dollars also drunk.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Right, I mean, oh we had.

Speaker 9 (31:36):
I had the best time and that was the first
arena that I'd ever played, and it was so much fun.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Do you know what was weird about that? That was
the first arena show you ever did.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
And I remember sitting backstage with Burr and Roy and
we're watching you, and everybody's like, how's he doing?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Crowd working an arena like this. I'm not going to
tell anybody, it's my secret.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
You're just talking to people all over the place and
there's you know, ten thousand people in front of you,
and somehow you made that into a club.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
It was amazing.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Uh, Mike Pursuit has a couple of things to get
you here. Well, there's a big game this Weekend Ian
that we're going to Chicago to play the bear.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh that's a big exciting game.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Well it's no Argonauts versus the rough Riders. Yeah, yeah,
the Rougher the rough Riders. CFL has eight teams and
with them have the same nickname.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
We're not we're not a smart people. We're not known
for our wardage sports. That Stuner brought to you by
bridgeal Plights.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
Aaron Rodgers was listed in practice yesterday is limited, but
left tackle Broderick Jones suspects Mason Rudolph will start a
quarterback Sunday in Chicago. Jones is both fine with that
and aware the situation is subject to change.

Speaker 11 (32:49):
He brings that fire about him, you know, and everybody
has these back so it's just got to go out
and do it this planet Sunday too. That is actually
I don't know, so we shall see. H That's why
I've had in practice with me, so I will guess so,
but you never know when game time comes around.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
That's who I've had in practice with me. Jones is
the starting left tackle, he said, makes the Rudolph with him.
In practice, Aaron Rodgers was limited. Do the math kids, Yes,
that's as far as I can take it. Yeah, but
today is another day, so stay tuned. Pat friar Muth,
like Jones, dates back to that three game season saving
run orchestrated by Rudolph in twenty twenty three. Friarmuth appreciated

(33:29):
Rudolph then and still does today.

Speaker 12 (33:32):
He's older and he's a lot more witty now he
I mean, you can see. The cool thing about being
with a guy for you know, five year or four years,
I guess, is just seeing his growth every single year
and how he's gotten better and you can tell he's
worked on things in his game and just his confidence level.

(33:53):
I think it's been cool to see him work with
Aaron and see how Dave interacted and you know, know
how Mason's kind of tooking things from Aaron's game and stuff.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
So it's been cool to.

Speaker 12 (34:04):
See Kendaia Kendalla. Could I really don't. I truly don't.
I truly don't know, So yeah, I really truly don't know.
So we'll find out. You'll find out when I find out.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
But no reservation, he does. No, I mean, we can
roll with whoever. You know, expectition is to win the game.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
It seems to me that when he says he's a
lot more witty. It just indicates the weight is off
of his shoulders in a big way.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Here.

Speaker 7 (34:30):
It's definitely more comfortable than he's ever been. He's more
experienced than he's ever been. And uh now he's got
a little bit of a track wreck here based on
the end of the twenty twenty three season. His right,
his resume in Pittsburgh is into Duck Hodges year, right
when he got yanked for Duck Hodges. Yeah, so he's
come a long way. Well, maybe we'll find out today.
I suspect Rogers is gonna want badly to play. I

(34:51):
don't know if it's his call or Mike Tomlins. I
would assume it's Tomlins, and I'm hoping Tomlins says, you
know what, Aaron, we love you taking knee this week?

Speaker 4 (34:59):
Or make him the number two?

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Well, yeah, you know, not case of emergency, because I
don't want to see Will Howard in there.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
No good point, but we shall see.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
If it were a bad team, not that there's any
gimmes in the NFL, but if it were not a
seven and three club, do you think we would already know? Okay,
Mason starting with.

Speaker 7 (35:20):
Well, I'm not the team that Rogers has the twenty
six and five career record against and has yelled at
their fans in their stadium.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
I own you. He wants to beat the Bears, right,
he really was? Yes, it was.

Speaker 7 (35:33):
I don't know who's the slappiest team in the league now,
So it was the Browns.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Yeah, the Saint now forever? Yeah.

Speaker 7 (35:43):
Jayalen Warren and Alex high Smith were both upgraded from
did not practice to limited.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Keep an eye them. Bears have a lot of guys
banged up.

Speaker 7 (35:51):
Both of their starting inside linebackers have not practiced this week.
Both of their offensive tackles have been limited this week,
and the left tackle Theo Bennet that is filling in
for the real left tackle, Braxton Jones, who is on
IR So they might be the Bears might be down to.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Their third left tackle. All right, well, then starting to
get a little thin in Chicago, But no over pursuit.
Make sure to contain because this guy can beat you.

Speaker 7 (36:16):
This guy can kill you if you let him out
of the pocket. You want Caleb Williams in the.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Pocket, yes, make him throw.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
He can run, but he is more concentrated on throwing.
When he gets outside. He's playing it more like a veteran.
Now he's not just running at the first sign of trouble,
but he can escape. Two different Steelers defenders in different
interviews yesterday called him a magician because of his escapability.
I assume a coach told him that and they're parroting

(36:42):
it back. But his ability to when you think you
have him sacked and all of a sudden you don't,
that ability is real.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
Also, he can do that scarf thing. Yeah, but that's it,
and then he can throw on the run. He protects.

Speaker 7 (36:58):
He doesn't throw interceptions, but a lot of reason for
that is sometimes he throws at so poorly nobody right exactly.
Let's I have notes on him, and I have wow
with an exclamation point, and I have WTF with a
question one.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
That seems to be them on that guy. It's what
does that mean? What the heck? How did you do that?
What the are you doing that? Right? It'll be in
the same game, it'll be in the same series. Yeah.
But when he's good, he's really good. Man.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
By the way, the worst team in the league right now,
the Tennessee Titans, are one and nine.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
Okay, so Aaron probably would sit that one out.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
There's The Jets have two wins, the Browns have two wins,
the Raiders have two wins, the Giants have two wins,
and the Saints have two wins. But the Titans one
and nine a quiet, crappy team because everyone forgets about him.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
You know what, six wins.

Speaker 7 (37:48):
Houston Houston twenty three, Buffalo nineteen last night Thursday Night football.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
That Houston defense is so good.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
That Detexans and roof to three and all with Davis
Mills starting a quarterback this year.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
You hate Davis Mills. I think it needs a longer
neck for starters. Oh my god, that's why you hate
his football? Yeah, because of his genius.

Speaker 7 (38:12):
Yes, frustrated because we have this thing in this country
called gambling.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Oh yeah, I thought it was because you're a Serbian.
Well that too. The people are known for your long
neck glow. He's next.

Speaker 10 (38:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (38:24):
The only two touchdowns Buffalo got they broke one forty
five yard touchdown run and they returned to kickoff for
a touchdown.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
That was it.

Speaker 7 (38:30):
Josh Allen twenty four thirty four for two point fifty three,
no touchdowns, two picks.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
Rough night for the Bills. There, I told you the
Bills are. I don't know what the Bills.

Speaker 7 (38:39):
Aren't seven and four Houston is six and five. Was
that a good result for the Steelers or a bad
one because both of these teams are probably in the
wildcard mix.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
I think it's probably a bad one.

Speaker 7 (38:50):
Right because Houston is coming into the wildcard mix. Figured
Buffalo was already there. If the Steelers don't win the division,
it's going to be dice and getting into the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
That much is true. He's got your news after the break.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
How much does Thanksgiving dinner impact your health?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
And good thing? It's mostly good news, all right.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
