Speaker 1 (00:00):
Appliances. This is w TV Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
I go to Escondido, California every year and do two
shows the night before because the tickets sell crazy easy.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Why is that.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Because people basically have started gotting home for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Now, okay, right, right, Yeah, today's the day for a
lot of people to make the travel.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
So now they're there before Thanksgiving. They need to get
away from their family, they need to do something, and
for some unknown reason, people love to go two shows
on it.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
But these are your fans too.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
When I first started it, it wasn't I'm fantastic.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You're an Internet sensation. Let's face it. I don't know.
That sounds like when it got something weird and lo
with somebody.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
You started the Kim Kardashian Day and she was fantastic, Yes,
and you were too.

Speaker 1 (00:49):

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Ship on about a girl that went on the internet.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
I said it wasn't possible. He said it was. Now
I've got Gordon Lightfoot in your head.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I saying it. You were
trying to say things and I'm like, you know what,
I gotta fight back. I gotta fight back on Randy,
I got interrupting with Gordon Lightfoot.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Well, let me tell you something. That song is just
it took my life over for a couple of weeks. Uh,
during the it's.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Like it does make September, it's look towards in November. No.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Well, it's so funny because that does become your inner
monologue voice. Is it starts to become Gordon Lightfoot after
a while. And it did remind us of the time
that Norm McDonald called into the show with our buddy
Kevin Brennan, who was the head right for Norm's sports
show that was on Central and at the after party

(02:07):
for their season finale, which you know, l a time.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
It was three am, right, They called us at like six.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Am in the morning and they were having a few
pops and feeling good and Norm did this thing where
he was imitating Gordon Lightfoot, which was just hilarious.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Do you want to tell me that, Gordon light Yeah,
I said, Gordon Life it's singing Red Maggie May from Roger.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's good, okay, hearing go Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen.
Canadian singer songwriter Gordon Lightfoot singing Maggie May by Rod Stewart.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Wake up, Maggie.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
C.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
It's late Deptember and a readA should be back. It's cool.
So I keep you AMUSMV and you couldn't.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
It's such a norm thing. I think. I think that's
how we live. W A W G D. What would Gordon?
I would Gordon respond? You know a little mer change.
You know the song.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Sundown, You know what that's about? Well, it is, but
you know who the woman is the subject? No, her
name is Kathy Smith. She was his longtime partner, and
she was also the woman who was arrested for giving

(03:42):
John Belushi.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
The Wow you did some research? Well, I know a
lot about stuff that does not matter. Ian So what
had they broken up when she was with John Belushi?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
No, that's why he wrote the song you cheating? No,
they were broken up at that point.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Cheating.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
You heard the Wreck of Eldwood Blues.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I think he's actually Jake. Have you have you watched
the John Candy documentary.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I did, and I mean I'm interested in your thoughts
on it, because I have thoughts on it.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, I cried so much thought that sad.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I think it shocks you because it's gonna it's John,
it's John Candy, it's gonna be all fun and games,
and then they show you behind the curtain and you're like.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's not funny games anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
It is interesting to remember how much his weight was
a punchline in everything that he did in movies, not
so much SETV. Now, like the SETV stuff, they very
rarely made any joke around his weight. But in I

(04:53):
mean Stripes, that scene where he has to do the
mud wrestling.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
But he makes but he he they say he makes
up the dog or the monologue at the beginning about
his weight, Like that's not in the movie.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
He makes that up, which is perfect for me. Yeah,
but it was just too sad and modeling the entire time.
I wanted there to be a little bit more about uh.
Because they got so many great people from SETV. I
wish they would have got Miranis. I know he doesn't
do anything anymore, but for some reason, I wanted to
hear his take on it. I just wanted to hear
more about how he came up with funny stuff and

(05:25):
like not so much about all of the pathos and
all of the trauma that he had that.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think it was so natural. They didn't have that
how he how did he come up with it? It
just came out of him like naturally, right, Yeah, so
they did. That's why they went the other way. If
you ever want to interview his son, I know his
son put oh yeah, I would love that. Yeah, I'll
put you together with him. Chris is a really good
guy and really interesting interview.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
You can google Catherine O'Hara's eulogy at his funeral. It's
it's incredible. But what Dan Ackroid did at the beginning
of that documentary was, first of all, it was such.
As I was listening to him, I'm like, there's only
one Dan Ackroyd.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Because all of those words are so Acroydian, the way
he describes John Candy and when he talked about him
being a proud Canadian.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
That part I loved that, Like.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
You know what Dan Dan Ackroyd is Uh, why am
I blanking on the name of the band?

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
He just died downy u Downey Oh tragically tragically Hip.
He's the comedy tragically Hip. Like he couldn't be more Canadian. Right,
that's interesting right?

Speaker 1 (06:39):
So uh, but yeah I did.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I was blown away by something that I learned from,
not from Crisp, but from some somebody else. That thing
that he does with uh in Home Alone where he
does the stuff in Home Alone.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh, that where he just he's uh the Polko guy.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
So he gave him a day and they gave him
point in the movie, and he like, he didn't tail kidding.
And apparently that's the most money he ever made because
he made so much money off that movie.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Remember when you dropped by last Tuesday, here's fifteen million.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yea, basically, yeah, that's why.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
And he was able to do all those weird little
gigs he was doing at the end, like he was
in JFK and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, because he was making so much from the points
on Home Alone. Oh wow, that's so interesting.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, because they don't say that in the documentary.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
What made me happy was how great he was with
John Hughes like, yeah, they were there, buddy, buddy, and
they hung out and all that.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
They vacation, their families vacation together.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
And talking about how many movies he had been in
for John Hughes.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Like a lot.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, home alone, Uncle Buck, Planes Trains and Automobiles. But Planes,
Trains and Automobiles is his masterpiece.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Uncle Buck. When he weighs goodbye at the end, you
break down. Well that's my Thanksgiving movie. I don't know
about you, guys.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
None of us have ever seen the masterpiece scene in Planes,
Trains and Automobiles that Steve Martin talks about, talks about
in the Steve Martin two part documentary where there's a
scene at the end of the movie where he explains
his life and how he got there and Steve Martin
can't talk about that scene without crying. And that scene,

(08:15):
the footage has never been found because the first cut
of Plaine Strains, Automobiles was three hours long, and they
cut half of it out and they eventually found like
the stuff from the early part of the movie, like
there's thirty minutes in that hotel, But no one's ever
seen this mythical John Candy performance that's supposed to be
the most beautiful thing he's ever done, and I'm angry
about it all the time.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, it's got to be someplace. It's got to be.
It's got to be someplace. I don't know. It's probably
in the John Hughes estate. Yeah, exactly, that's where they found.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
So they did a big re release where you can
watch about an hour of stuff that was cut out
and because they found a VHS at John Hughes's house
with that on it, but they.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Didn't have one second tape.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I wonder if John Candy took it, like, yeah, I
need that.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
That can't go you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, yeah, possibly that's on Amazon Prime if you want
to check it out. I was hoping it was gonna
be more like like light in celebration with the heavy
stuff at the end, but it literally leads with the
heavy stuff and it just.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Made it made me too. Took me to watch me too. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
See, now I want to see it because you and
I disagreed about the Eddie Murphy documentary, which is celebratory
and much more about the comments. That's probably why I
like the Eddie Murphy want so much, and I'm and
I didn't, so now I feel like, I'm gonna like
the John Candy.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
So you want to know the darkness behind Eddie?

Speaker 2 (09:33):
That was his brother mm hm, yes, Charlie.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
They talk about Charlie a lot. I missed Charlie him Charlie. Yeah,
there are you wanted you wanted to know more.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I agree, like I watched documentaries to find out stuff
you don't know.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
I wanted to walk out feeling like, oh, I think
I get him a little bit now.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
And those two ever do a movie together? Were they in?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Eddie Murphy and John Candy? They not best Defense? No,
they never did a movie together.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
You know what was growing up for them to be
in together? Ghostbuster? Ghostbusters? Yeah, Eddie Murphy and John Candy.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Eddie Murphy, they say they wrote the Winston Cenemore world.
They Ernie Hudson roll for Eddie Murphy and John Canny
was the first person offered Lewis Tully the Rick Morana's role,
but he wanted to do it with a strong German
accent and for German shepherds, and negotiations broke down.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
But Rick Moranis was great.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
It was perfect. Rick Mariana steals the movie. Best person
in the movie.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Yeah, I think with the Eddie Murphy documentary and Sean,
I thought this was kind of a point that you
made last week too. It was heavily curated by Eddie Murphy.
He was telling you everything he wants you to know
about him and nothing else. And so in a little
bit in a documentary, you kind of hope that there's
some sense of vulnerability, that you're getting the whole story,
just such a little bit more of a peace.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
You can't be You can't be in charge of a documentary, right, yeah, Yeah,
he gotta let somebody else do it and then give up.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
I still loans was the same Stallone was in charge
of his own documentary, and it didn't he as soon
as he started talking about having.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Something I don't really dug about my dad anymore. You know,
you'd be like, no, that's the interesting stuff, and then
he would be like he was, uh, I did stop
on my mumble.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Shoot, nobody cares about this.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, I would watch it if you haven't watched it.
I was also interested in all the SETV stuff because
I grew up on se TV and I thought it
was fantastic. I had no idea that they had started
in Toronto. I always knew it as the Edmonton based one,
so I.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Which is where they moved to. Yeah, yeah, I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I may have missed those first couple of years, like
I may have been old enough to catch, you know,
get what was going on in it.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
I always assumed it was always filmed in Toronto and
never knew until recently that most of it was filmed
in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, and that's they were able to get away with.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
That budget because it was somewhere where it didn't cost
money to do anything.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Here's what I loved. He was mad.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
He always thought he was kind of getting screwed on
money John Candy.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, and that is such a comedian thing. That is,
oh yeah, such a comedian thing.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
The best of the best of the best always feel like, hey, what's.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Going on over there? Why to me this? Why are
you doing me like this? And I love that. I
was like, that was honest.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, I mean there's many stories of comedians who have
cut their nose off to spite their face over yah
perceived slightly of course.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's so funny. Thankful you're not like that. No.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I was never banned by the Just for last Ian
bag will be at the approv all weekend. And these
are fun shows, folks. These shows will sell out.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
These shows.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
There's also a Costco close by. Sure if I I
got to push that even do a little bit of shopping.
Say you got to get a hundred protein drinks at once? Yeah,
and there's a PF change there.

Speaker 8 (12:54):
Should you get all Frank Chang, I didn't know that,
Peter Fredericks.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Those are not the first names I would have associated
with the last name Chang.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I love it, I love I love when you meet
a wing and it's a white guy or something like that.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Like, Okay, Sean Collier, I need you to do a
two minute review of Wicked for the people who are
waiting for it.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh my goodness, Wicked for good it says on the
title card the second act of the popular Broadway musical.
We did the first half last year. Now we are
wrapping up the two be continued. It looks great, it
sounds great. Cynthia Rivo is fantastic. This one I think
is better than the first because it has an ending.

(13:48):
It's it just wins structurally. The first one made us
sit there for two and a half hours, resolved nothing,
and then we go home. This one actually concludes, albeit
with something you probably need to see the first movie
to understand. It kind of just automatically wins on that.
I'm kind of cool on these overall. I'm not a
super fan, but I think it improves on the first.

(14:10):
Worth your time, particularly if you're looking for that post
Thanksgiving reason to get the family out of the house
next week for a couple hours. This will do that
and spare a thought for a young actress. Her name
is Bethany Weaver. She's a working actress from Britain. She's
not a celebrity. Everyone in this room has more followers
than brit Bethany Weaver, Yes, despite the fact that she

(14:32):
plays Dorothy, you know, the one with the shoes and
the tornad to Toto's mom. Dorothy. The director of Wicked
for Good, John Chowho, is a very good director. He
made this interesting choice that, like Dorothy and the rest
are present in this film, but you will never see
Dorothy's face because I think that it's suggesting that it
was always Alphabet's story, it was really about the Wicked Witch,

(14:54):
and this telling, Dorothy's just a pawn, right, Okay, fine,
but poor Bethany Weaver again, Dorothy in what maybe the
biggest film of the year. If she walked through Times
Square on Monday, she wouldn't get recognized once.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
What a Ryan Mike.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
They show her feet, they do the Quentin Tarantino.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
Toto's face is present. Toto is a bigger star that
there's a result of this film.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
We all make choices.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah, go see it, and hey, the touring show is
coming to the Bendum next year. If you go to that,
you may notice that they tell the whole story in
about one hundred and fifty minutes. The same story required
it combined two hundred and ninety seven minutes over two films.
That is so crazy to me.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I wonderful those actors cry.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh my god, I can't weep. I cannot take the
press run for this movie. These two are the most
fragile people I have ever encountered.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
I'm happy that you're happy. But we've made musicals before.
They made Chicago Richard Gere and Renee's and talking about it,
the worshiped each other.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
They're crying.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Riva are crying. Every time they
do an interview. They have to embrace each other and
cry and console each other every single time.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Women hugging and crying. Well, that's that's my jam.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
There's that's what some people have speculated. There is real
chemistry on the scene on the screen. There are moments
where you're like, are they kiss?

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Is that? To show me what it?

Speaker 7 (16:30):
Show me what it looks like. It probably sounds like
a xylophone, because.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
What's not early Disney short with the skeletons dancing. That's
the sext time Mike, go ahead, wait, wait, what's the
other one you have here? Train Dream Well, I'll say
one of the best films of the year. Joel Edgerton
plays a sad guy wondering. I'll say, is one of
the best films of the year. So much time, good luck.
It's this one's for me. It's a sad man wandering

(17:00):
around breathaking landscapes in the olden times. This is for me.
Maybe you two Joel Edgerton William Pacific Northwest Dad's movie.
It is, yeah, felictening to It's great. It's on Netflix.
You just need to put your phone in the other room,
turn the lights, you go into the woods, put it
on the tablet and go into the woods because you

(17:20):
need to focus in It's a long, slow thing.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yonder Bag for home. Fantastic love of this movie. Yonder
Bag sounds dirty, doesn't it?

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Okay? And what's your retro pick?

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Edward Scissorhands, a movie where Johnny Depp plays a goth
up living doll with knives or fingers and somehow ends
up way more sympathetic than Johnny Depp in real life.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
That's the Rangos Giant Cinema tonight only all right, We've
got the buzz pots in the coffee house for you, Mike,
join in.

Speaker 9 (17:48):
Another lot of your favorite fans have Strength in Numbers
with a double shot Saturday too, this weekend on DVE.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Here's the dv E Weekend. I Dag's been hanging out
with us this morning. He's if you improm yeah, go
see him this weekend. And Mike Pursuit has got your
sports now getting ready for a big game MIC pretty
revealing game. I think we're at that point.

Speaker 10 (18:12):
It's time to stand up and be counted or reveal
who you are, not well what you want up to
receive sports as I brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.
After Aaron Rodgers turned up limited and practice on Thursday
left tackle Broderick Jones suspected Mason Rudolph would be the
guy at quarterback on Sunday in Chicago. Jones is more

(18:33):
than prepared to roll with Rudolph, but also well aware
the situation is subject to change.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
He brings that fire about him, you know, and everybody
has his back, so he's just got to go out
and do it.

Speaker 10 (18:43):
Ridicuous plants Sonny cool too.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
That is Actually I don't know, so we shall see.

Speaker 9 (18:51):
That's why I've had in practice with me, so I
will guess so, but you never know when game talk
comes round.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
He said too much. He probably shouldn't have said that. Well,
and I do think it's still uncertain. If they were
playing today, it would probably be Rudolph. They're playing Sunday,
it might yet.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Be Rogers too true, Yeah, I mean Rogers cannot take
reps right now. I mean that would just aggravate the situation.
And they said all along today was going to be
the day, so stay tuned.

Speaker 10 (19:18):
The Bear's number four offense is powered by the NFL's
number two running game, but what makes Chicago combustible is
quarterback Caleb williams uncannyability to escape trouble in the pocket.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Here's defensive coordinator Tarrell Austin. This guy's he's an escape artist.

Speaker 11 (19:34):
He's he does really good job of, you know, buying
extra time moving around the pocket. If you give him
open windows, he's going to get the balled out down
the field. If you give him a wide open lane,
he can take it.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
And run it.

Speaker 11 (19:47):
And he is he's dynamic, just you know, a young
player on the rise, and.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
So we are.

Speaker 11 (19:52):
We're gonna have to do a great job of classroom.
We're gonna have to really do a really good job
in terms of our rush lanes and making sure we
try to keep him bottled up because when he gets
outside the pocket, and that's when that's usually when bad
things happens to defense.

Speaker 10 (20:05):
You know, he's still a young quarterback, but more and
more he is escaping trouble in the pocket to extend
the play and throw, not run. He still can run,
he still does run, and he can hurt you running,
but he's trying to hurt you throwing with the bigger play.
And you can tell he's been coached that way too. Yeah,

(20:25):
you got to keep him in the pocket. We've talked
about that over the years of Baker Mayfield. We talk
about it every year with Lamar Jackson. We talked about
it a couple of weeks ago with Justin Herbert. You
can't go flying in there as a pass rusher and
get behind him, which gives him the outside escape lane,
or if the inside guys vacate, you give him the
A or the B gap on either side of the
center and they just go right up the middle. You

(20:47):
have to constrict and you want him throwing it, even
if it's at the expense of going for the sack,
because if you go for the sack and miss, which
he will make you do, now you got a problem.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Well, and it seems though desively, they've been much more
disciplined the last couple of weeks and they're a little
more poised to handle this challenge than they were in
the first half of the season.

Speaker 10 (21:07):
I agree hundred percent, but they this is the test
they got to pass, and not just this one, Randy,
because they're going to see this again. You got a
dynamic running game coupled with a dual threat quarterback.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Buffalo has that, Baltimore has that.

Speaker 10 (21:23):
When they went about retooling the defense in the offseason,
they did it with this type of offense in mind.
We have to be able to stop this. We got
to be able to stop the run and contain these
qbs who are nightmares when they start running around back there.
Tera Austin was asked about that yesterday. He said, we'll
see how far we've come. Oh man, So we'll see that.

(21:45):
You know, assuming the Steelers are competent on offense and
don't turn it over a bunch, which I think is
a fair assumption, that's what's going to decide the game.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
What do you think the corner lineup's going to look like.

Speaker 10 (21:54):
I think Darius Slay is going to start, and I
think James Pierre is going to play more snaps.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
How's Eccles injury? Nickel? But he's he's not even on
the list. Not okay, good, Yeah, he's fine.

Speaker 10 (22:09):
Bill's had some issues last night in Houston twenty three
nineteen Texans over the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen did not
throw for a touchdown, did not rush for a touchdown.
He did throw two interceptions, including one with the game
on the line, Buffalo threatening to steal it late on
a drive against the clock in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Bills are seven and four.

Speaker 10 (22:29):
They're now two games behind the Patriots in their division,
so they're looking like a player in the wild card.
Houston is six and five. They're also well off the
pace in their division, so they're looking like a player
in the wildcard. Wild Card's looking crowded. Might be a
good idea to win the AFC North Division if you're going.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
To go to the playoffs, if you're the Steeler. Yeah,
Pen's back in action tonight.

Speaker 10 (22:52):
They host the Minnesota wild at seven o'clock and they
host Seattle tomorrow night down at PPG. It's the rate
of their first action since the Sweden trip. College basketball
last night, Pitt falls at UCF seventy seven to sixty seven.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Panthers are four and two.

Speaker 10 (23:10):
Robert Morris loses at Saint Bonaventure seventy five to sixty one.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Colonials are three and two.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Our buddy Ian bag with us this morning. It's great
to see you as always. He's going to beat the
improv tonight and tomorrow night. And I'm glad, as we
said earlier, you're you're not eating as much because of
those meds. You know, the original endorser of Ozempik was
Billy ardell.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Is that when he did those little running things.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yes, that was because ozempic wasn't being seen as a
weight loss drug so much then as it was like
about combating diabetes.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh, and that's why he was doing it. What I'm on,
I don't know what it is, but it's.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Really if you're investing, the invest in, it's crazy. Money
is crazy. But yeah, it's Oh it costs a lot. Yeah, no,
it's expensive. But the if you, if you, if you're
buying stock, their stocks are insane through the roof, through
the roof. But I'll tell you that this apparently they're
going to start using it on addiction.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, I've heard that that's.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
The next step for these things because it takes away cravings.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
I've heard that.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
I think what's going to end up happening is eventually
in society we're all going to be on some form
of GLP for whatever affliction we might have, combined with
a cocktail of psilocybin, which now has been proven to
not only just carve new neural pathways into your brain,
but there was a report yesterday of a study that
it said it actually extends the cell life in humans

(24:36):
by a considerable measure. So they're saying that small doses
of that now they think might be the key to
longevity that they might have unlocked this. How do we
live forever and live healthy without getting older?

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, well you don't have to wait till the aliens
come down and jump in a cocoon.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, you just have to shroome your face off. But
when are we going to get bbls for everybody? We
all need a Brazilian button.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
Yeah, you can't live forever and have them.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
That is down at some point.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yeah, pa one and fifteen years old, skinny, happy hide bucks.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Sweet ass? Yeah, cause I bags I thank somebody, can I? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
So last night a bunch of a guy, John from
PPG Paints had his retirement BG Pants Arena. Yeah, and
I just want to thank them. They came to the show.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
He PVG paints like the company or the arena the
arena sorry, sorry, the arena, and they wanted to come
to my show. He's seen me on your show that
was at pp G Paints Arena years ago. He became
a fan and he wanted his retirement party at my
show last night.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
That's so cool. And then he brought me a sign
Sydney Crosby Jersey.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Wow, I just wanted to thank him, so is my
I'm out of comedy too while we're retiring.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Well, you can sell that thing and retire. I'll tell
you what right now, how much to say? I'm going
to look it up sign Sydney Crosby jersey. Yeah, they're
going for seventeen hundred dollars fifteen hundred dollars two thousand
in a frame. So he's saying, as I shouldn't check
my bag. No, not in Pittsburgh, but I'd be very

(26:11):
careful about that. We're on the plane with a dummy
jersey on top of it, so if you spill anything,
the actual jerseys are very paranoid, yes, Rien, Yeah, what
would be a good jersey he can put on top
of that? Nobody will Toronto Mayafs.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Well, Yeah, trying to make lace the joke of the.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Oh my worth so much yet worth so little ian bag.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Huge game this weekend between your Pittsburgh Steelers and the
Chicago Bears. And here from the pre game show on
the Steelers Audio Network it's our own Mike Persuda with
the preamble to kickoff on DV.

Speaker 10 (36:24):
As the offense prepped for a test, uncertain as to
the identity of the quarterback who would be taking it.
The challenge awaiting the Steelers defense in Chicago could not
have been more obvious. Stop the run, keep Caleb Williams
in the pocket, and don't get suckered on a double
reverse wide receiver pass back to the quarterback. Check those
boxes and the Steelers have a chance to have a

(36:45):
better experience in Chicago than the protesters have visited during
the nineteen sixty eight Democratic National Convention.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Google it, that's happened once.

Speaker 10 (36:55):
In thirteen previous Pittsburgh trips to the Windy City, the
Steelers tradition beef in Chicago has been as consistent as
it has been head scratching. The eventual result has been
more of a lock than an election for Aldermen. Stops
in Chicago always seem to leave the Steelers singing.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
The Blues brother one way or another.

Speaker 10 (37:15):
They always wind up in deep dish, So what's.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Different this time?

Speaker 10 (37:21):
It's not as if they're on a mission from God,
but this time they have Mason Rudolph in addition to
Aaron Rodgers behind you, chef, and the Steelers have already
proven they can beat a team with a winning record.
Not to Bears, They're not untouchable. Still, Chicago's transit with authority.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
From five and twelve to relevant has.

Speaker 10 (37:41):
Even the Navy peering to seers, if the Bears can
tower above the NFC, Are you ready.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
For some football?

Speaker 10 (37:48):
Yeah, Pittsburgh towel waiver for the world turnover maker, stacker
of QBS player with tight ends and the NFL's Lombardi collector, rushing, passing,
blitzing city of the Big Mount Washington, laughing even as
an ignorant opponent, laughs who has won seven of ten battles,

(38:09):
bragging and laughing that under the fractured wrist is the
pulse and under the ribs.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
The heart of Steeler Nation.

Speaker 10 (38:17):
If they stick one between your uprights, you stick one
in their l because that's the Chicago way.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
What all you prevent to do here? And the lesson?

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Oh man, since this slight Chicago theme running out all
that might have been the best one.

Speaker 10 (38:40):
Yet, the Bailers are going to win this game twenty
five or.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Sixty four, You know, to me forever to realize that
it was twenty five or six two four, it was
twenty five or twenty six, that that's what twenty five
or six it was. They were talking about what time
it was. They were waiting for their coke dealer to
show up, and some of us, what time is it?

Speaker 10 (39:02):
Mine clearly got here already, Yeah, and the he's like,
it's twenty five or six to four, like twenty six
minutes or twenty five or twenty six minutes to four.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
I never knew. That's crazy. Yeah, that's way better than
six seven.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I still don't understand six seven other than it appears
in a song, a rap tune or something, right, Yeah,
and then it's just used constantly and everyone does the
hymn thing.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah, yeah, it's you don't have to figure it out.
Just let the young bee.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
I'm happy not knowing how about seven eight is. In
nineteen seventy eight, the full here we go, Let's get rid.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
Of the kick off.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Were from that time, great football team.

Speaker 15 (39:42):
That Bits, First Stealers, Chuck Out and No Key Friends Out.

Speaker 6 (39:47):
All on the beat.

Speaker 12 (39:50):
Again, the Steelers Rats Song and Rocky and No and
Ye we Love you Bits First Stealer.

year the Pinsburg Steelers. We means having not only a dream.

Speaker 4 (41:02):

Speaker 1 (41:09):
In many years.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
Seenery, I'm finished, you say, classy Pittsburgh, don't touch your face.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
He got him type paceday baby, but now you gotta
call me Ronald?

Tetrostry chicken by why Google ahead nipples the same size
as every.

Speaker 8 (41:43):
Woe bye great Friday Mother.

Speaker 9 (41:53):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on d V,
brought to you by Independence Health System Expert Care here
and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it to wreck from the
team at shop dot Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 17 (42:05):
It'll be a matchup between two division leading teams this
Sunday when the Steelers and Bears meet in Chicago and
in Pittsburgh. All eyes are on quarterback Aaron Rodgers and
his availability with a broken.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Left wrist injury.

Speaker 17 (42:16):
Rogers was a limited participant in yesterday Steelers practice as
he continues to trend toward playing Sunday against the Bears,
and Rogers has a career record of twenty four and
five against Chicago, so his services could prove useful against
the Bears defense that leads the league with fifteen interceptions.
On the defensive side of things, the Steelers have their
work cutout for them against the powerful Bears offense that
loves to run the football. In fact, when playing at

(42:37):
home in Soldier Field, the Bears run the ball forty
nine percent of their snaps and it works, as Chicago
has the league's second best rushing attack, averaging one hundred
and forty six point six yards per game on the ground.
After a tough start to the season stopping the run,
the Steelers run defense has been trending in the right
direction as of late. They've climbed all the way up
to the league's thirteenth best run dye, allowing just one

(42:58):
hundred and six point four yards on the ground per game.
It'll be a tall task slowing up the bears rushing attack,
but the form of the Steelers defense should inspire confidence
and stifling the Bear's bread and butter on offense might
just be enough to pull off the upset in the
Windy City. I'm Tom Opframan with the Steelers Report.
