Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the dB Morning Show, Randy, but I'm in alone
with Abbey Krisner. Buddy Ted Whistle's hanging out with us
this morning. And on Fridays, we opened the program getting
ready for a big weekend of Steeler football by checking
in with our friend across the coast from the Football
America podcast. But Pittsburgh's own ladies and gentlemen, brought to
you by the Gateway Clipper, Double D Dave Damage. Ye

(00:27):
here it comes in.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's a pleasure to be with you once again. And yeah,
a week ago, I was really excited, not just for
the for the Steelers game, but also for the pit
game in Actor Sure against the visitors from Notre Dame.
I was struck by a few things. It was a
disappointing game, but you know, of course we were ad
pre absolved of any tension because it was it wasn't

(00:52):
a must win game. I do want to get to
the fact and.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Just these guys can rob our house and everything's fine.
They can sleep with our wives the next week. As
long as we beat Georgia. Tacket doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I mean, it kind is true, but also you know,
you know, I take a man's got to stand for
something in this world, and I thank everybody. My thing
in life is taking everyone else to task, you know,
for their significant mistakes, like calling something a must win
game when it's not a must win game. It's a

(01:26):
you know, the Steelers are not in a must win
game on Sunday up in Chicago, but they better get it.
They want to get the double digit wins because go
through the schedule. We'll get to that in a second,
but that pit games amused me on a couple of fronts.
First of all, in the midle all the luminaries were
on the sidelines, Tony Dorset and everybody else not Tony

(01:48):
dor Set. My grandfather in nineteen seventy two call up
in Hope, Well, called my father and said, I just
watched this kid, Tony dorseit he's going to break all
the records and he's on his way to pick next year.
And so he did. And I got to tell Tony Dorset,
my grandfather, my late grandfather, watched you play and I

(02:11):
told him that story. And now you and I sit
here right around the year two thousand, you and I
are sitting in the same room. What a thrill this
is for me to complete that circle and Tony Dorset's
response was, huh.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Look, he appears to have suffered significant cognitive issues from
his years playing football, so I'm going to attribute it
to that and not anything impolite.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
But then, but then it was on a later date,
Tony Dorset and I sat down once again and I
told him that story on the air, and in that
occasion he was more interested in it. And I then
asked if I could, if I could be grandfathered in
much like my grandfather, to calling him Dorset instead of

(02:58):
the fancy pantsnunciation Dorset that that he used once he
got down to Dallas, and he afforded me that. So
Tony Dorsett was there and everybody.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Else, and why the pronunciation. I know why thisman did,
but why did Dorset.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I think it was legitimately just sort of like a
fancy pants affectation down there with with the cowboy hat wears.
By the way, we don't talk about that enough. That
period in Americana when when people, just because of the
popularity of the TV show Dallas, including everybody around the country,
started wearing cowboy hats, including our own pop Stargel who

(03:39):
he walked around for several years wearing a cowboy hats.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Mel Bradshaw. We had a lot of cowboys on that team.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well they were cowboys, right, so they properly should be
wearing this. I still think the weirdest period was after Swingers.
I remember going into bars and people would have those
big chains hanging on their pants and they would wear
zoots out and they were twenty three. Boy, those people
were jackasses. No offense to anybody in that room who

(04:09):
may have been drawn into that. But anyway, so also
on the sideline was Pitt basketball great Sam Clancy, and
they cut away to him and they had they had
the graftic underneath Hugh Green. Yeah, they misidentified him. So
it's not Joe Tess's fault necessarily, except that Joe test

(04:30):
is kind of a jackass himself, so he had to
really play it up. And they cut it's Sam Clancy.
Cairron is as Hugh Green, and he goes there. It's
the greatest offensive lineman in college football history, which is ironical.
Sam Clancy never played a snap of college football, but nevertheless.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
But what a basketball player Sam Clancy was?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, Sam Clancy walked so Clyde Vaughn could
run and then at the end of the game, as
you may have noticed, pitch scored, and a lot of
Notre Dame people were very, very upset about this. They
picked call the time out with fifteen seconds left and
and never mind, I mean that they tried to score

(05:16):
a touchdown at the end of the game. People are
howcare they try to score a touchdown? You know, the
backups have parents too, their families like to see him
score touchdowns and all of that. So I think it
was it was a moment of empathy from the dudes
in a in a non must win game. But as
he as as pitch scores at the gun, Jesse Palmer
hilariously chimes in with, like, just out of curiosity, who's

(05:40):
the points spread on this one? Hey? Great, great, great
time in our society to be to be insinuating that
the games are fixed. You're really doing a great job
and college football, this is the perfect opportunity for you
to crack wise with your with your A plus, uh,

(06:02):
with your A plus job.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
But you know he missed his ticket because had he
been a reality start just six seven years later, he'd
be running the transportation department right now.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
True, and instead this is what he had to deal
with right as he was coming off of The Bachelor,
he as people may forget, not just as the host,
he was once a bachelor himself. This is a dating
show in which everybody knows where they encourage you with
what do they call it the dream Suite? What do
they call it the Fantasy Suite? They give you a

(06:35):
key to go put your love on on whatever bachelorette
you choose. You know, it's encouraged all that. So I
I Palmer's coming off of that, and he's just starting
at ESPN as I am starting my ESPN radio show
in Los Angeles, And so they booked Jesse Palmer to
talk some college football, but of course I like to

(06:56):
talk about the game of life as well, And so
I said that Jesse, before we get into USC and
U c l a here real quick, what was your
number on on the Bachelor? And he said, what do
you mean by that? And I said, you know, you're
a bachelor, you know, not women bachelor. Yeah. Well, I
mean I'm not crude like you, but you know I

(07:18):
was a gentleman about it, yes, and he and and
we arrived finally at the at the number being six,
which you know, the press an impressive number. What do
they have? Twenty there? Six of them? Okay?

Speaker 1 (07:30):
And then I mean, that does get you in the
Hall of Fame?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I I think so, But who am I to say?
I don't know? You know, but so I So we
continued with the conversation and about football the rest of
the way, and then the next morning I wake up
to a phone message from an executive at ESPN. Jesse
Palmer took this to the highest levels at ESPN Radio.

(07:55):
He was offended by the question how how how dare
I ask him that on the air? Now, mind you,
I didn't go on the dating show where you're encouraged
to put your love on as many women as you can.
I nearly asked him.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
About it, but I, well, yeah, I had.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I had to blow the phone call in So then
I find myself out of body calling former Florida Gators
star and Bachelor lovemaker Supreme Jesse Palmer, and thank goodness
I got his voicemail instead of his live voice. But
I had to call him and apologize. That was the
remedy for my violate and said.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I apologize for bringing up the fact that you slept
with multiple women on a game show.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
That what you said, do you see Hi, this is Stamachek.
You were on the show yesterday and I by the way,
you just said it there, bowman, I've been I've been
talking about this quite a bit lately. You just said
slept with which is replace When we were growing up,
TV shows and movies always that the act was always

(09:06):
referred to as making love. And I'm curious, has any
man on the planet Earth, unironically ever said let's make love.
Let's let's let's art when we made love last night?
Has anybody said that in a sincere way ever in
the history of people, because it's all over movies.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Eddie Murphy addressed this. I believe in raw you know,
like you know, I make love to women I love,
but you know it's like I bleep women I love.
I don't make love to them. I bleep them. Do
you want someone to say make love to me? Or
do you want someone to grab the becky your head
and sleep out of me?

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Other?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yes, well he he makes love and how he But yeah,
it's it's funny. That's one of those things in movies
that that's something that happens in movies that make love
and all that that never happens in real life. My
favorite one of those, or near the top of the.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
List is.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
They're never in history has this happened in real life.
But there are hundreds, if not thousands, of move movie
deaths that occur with with people that are the result
of people fighting on top of moving train cars. You know,
it never happens in real life, but people always are
fighting on top of moving train car.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
How do you know?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
How do you know what?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
How do you know that's not going on?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
I guess I'm being overly cynical. Maybe I'm just not.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Aware train fight club that's going on that you're not
privy to. It doesn't mean you know, Maybe they're just
adept at keeping their balance and don't fall off to
a grizzly death that gets reported in the trip the
next day.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Well, it always gets to back, it always, it always
is the fate of the bad guy. It never happens
to the good guy. But the bad guy never notices
the oncoming tunnels, you know, he's his back's always turned
to it, and then like the good guy sees it
over the bad guy's shoulder, and then the bad guy
turns around just in time to see he's about to
meet his demise at the hands of this wall or
rock that he's going to run into. But yeah, I've

(11:13):
heard the trains running there by Old Mo, Damascheck and Egmont,
And maybe I should keep a keener eye out there
to see if people are fighting on top of it.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Perhaps perhaps rule number one of train Fight Club do
not talk about train fight club.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
That's why you wouldn't know about it. Nobody would know, otherwise.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
They wouldn't be getting that club. Yeah, well you want
to do that or be the bachelor, let's talk about that.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Let's talk about our non bachelor quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who's
very happily married to a person.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
So look, yeah, he's anti Ko.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
He's got the wrist injury, all right, that's very real now,
whether or not it prevents him from playing this weekend,
where do you land on the He is the Boogeyman
to the bears, and we must do everything we can
to put him on that field. He is Ogie Oglethorpe
walking out there. He is Frankie five Angels brother walking

(12:06):
into the courtroom and Godfather too. It immediately changes the
trajectory of everything that's about to happen.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I like that they didn't change the outfit. When when
Frankie five Angels comes in with the brother that they
that like, they brought him straight from Italy. They put
him on the plane. They didn't even have time to
dress them up. And I'm like, in a suit farm clothes.
He's like, I was just shepherding. What's going on? It's
got that funny little hat. I don't even know what

(12:34):
you'd call that thing. But anyhow, No, I mean, you know,
I like tradition and all that. I think I've made
that pretty clear, but I don't believe in vodoo though.
I mean, like Aaron Rodgers, here's the thing that people
what's emerged for me is a lot of people have
a difficult time distinguishing between the name brand and the

(12:57):
reality of what that brand is. In the year of
Our Lord twenty twenty five, I mean Aaron Rodgers, well.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Like people you think you think Mason Rudolph is as
good as Aaron Rodgers. No, not in their respective primes.
But Aaron Rodgers, who clearly before the risk injury, was
prioritizing not getting hit, now has a left wrist injury.
So when he sees anybody within ten yards of him.
What do you think he's going to try to do
he gets the ball out of his His priority is

(13:26):
very much like Ben Roethlisberger's in the twilight of his career,
which is like what Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and
every other old guy does at the at the end
of it. They don't want to get hit because they
understand their own mortality. And so of course Aaron Rodgers
is like that. So that's not a good place to
start with your starting quarterback in the quarterback league. So
of course it should be Mason Rudolph here. And I

(13:48):
think it's ridiculous, but like the indulgence of this when
I mean, the guy's not going to be able to
literally defend himself so long as he has a ball
in his throwing hand, what's he going to fend off
an oncoming defender with if not his left hand. Well,
he's gonna turtle it up, is what his react.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Well, may be allowed to have a little like a
plastic poker. They're just something just a little fact like yeah,
something to keeping them in.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
A captain hook hook kind of thing like that. Maybe
that like you you want some of this, come get it. Yeah, like, yeah,
that would be interesting.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, something like that, something that's attached to.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
One of those and my next I need one of
them hooks for my next top of train fight too.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
But here's whether it's whether it's him or Okay, so
you make it clear, Yeah, the boogeyman thing is not
relevant in twenty twenty five. Okay, So assuming you know
either Mason or Aaron Rodgers in there, I still think
Arthur Smith needs to think of this as despite who's
behind center, you have to go through Jalen Warren.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, like as long as Jalen Warren is right. But
you know, Caleb Johnson, this this holding back, this precious
is Is Caleb Johnson ready to contribute? I want to
get Mike Tomlin is quoted in the broadcast last Sunday, Like,
you know, Mike told us he'd like to get Caleb
Johnson some more snaps. If only Mike Tomlin had any say,

(15:15):
and who gets the ball and what I mean? Okay,
but he's a rookie. This is not This is not
a quarterback. Running Backs are ready to if they are
if they are good, they're ready to roll on day
one in the NFL. He's not like there's a learning curve.
He's I disagree with that. Okay, what you think. If
you think the bus then that's a problem.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I agree. I never understood this. This Uh you know,
they just thought Fanta Company, he's going to be the
next Nogy. We're giving him all the workload we gave Naugy.
That was the narrative when he got drafted, and I
asked everybody all summer, why is it that we're just
assuming this guy's going to come in here and do
this low and behold. He couldn't do it, and he

(15:57):
made mistake after a mistake, and he was cowering at
the line on contact. He was completely shutting down. He
went down on first hit every time he got one
chance at a breakaway. This weekend, he grabbed a guy
by the face mask, I mean his head. Yeah. Can
he come around from a mental standpoint not do stuff
like that. That's dumb. Yes, But running in the NFL

(16:19):
is different than running against Iowa State. He has to
be able to continue after contact. He has to hit
the hole even when somebody's there. He can't dance around
and wait. And he's got a big problem with making
the transition to the pros. Do I think he's a
bus No, but I think he's more likely headed in

(16:39):
the bus direction than he is headed into the envy
of the AFC direction.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Wow Bowman, Yeah, I mean, listen, you're damning him pretty
good here, and maybe you're right. I don't know, but
I mean again, that would be a fundamentally atrocious move
by the Pittsburgh Steelers to burn that pick then on
somebody who If you are right, I do agree with
you that if he is the man, then we would

(17:07):
know he's the man by now. I just don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
It's the end of November, weird Steers.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's well, I know, but in.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Penn State, not playing a freshman, you know what I mean?
This is this They needed this guy and he couldn't
do it. It was too big for him. He screwed
up a kickoff, you know, he put the ball on
the carpet a couple of times. He couldn't pick up
any blocks. He was not ready for prime time on delivery,
and they crowned him as the guy who was going
to take over for Nausey, who was probably the most

(17:34):
underappreciated running back the Steelers have had in the last
five years. Because the team wasn't winning playoff games well.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Because it's where they where he was drafted. That everybody
resented Naji Harritt.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
But it will take a running back.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Well, I mean, yeah, I'm with you on a lot
of what you said there. I also think it's the
Steeler's precious process that is gotten in the way of
Caleb Johnson. Barry fostered that the same stupid, I mean
monumentally stud supid thing. You're a pro football player and
you don't know the kickoff rules. You're back there to
be the kickoff fraterner, but you don't know what the
rule is. Barry Foster did that two generations ago, and

(18:08):
he worked out for a little while in Pittsburgh as well.
The difference is here is this is this weird like
we got to ramp our guys up so that they're
ready to be steeled, so they stand the way the
Steeler Like listen, hey, Mike Tomlin, you know it's a
you know about free agency, man, like you waste a
rookie year. Now the clock is really picking on a guy.

(18:30):
This is foolishness. But okay, whether it's Kenny Gainwell or
Jalen Warren or Caleb Johnson. They better for real. I'm
not trying to be negative, which has become now the
trend with Dave when I talk about the Steelers over
the last year and a half. By the way, I'm
also right about everything I've said about the Steelers for
the last year and a half. I hate the pat

(18:53):
myself on the back, who are my kid? And I
love to do it now, except it makes me sad
in this case because I want the Steelers to be good.
They better win this game against the Bears, because after
that reminder, you want some cynicism, you want some glass
a dude, Dave, They're six and four in the first place,
which is what you complaining about. Well this year, I

(19:16):
mean one year ago at this time they were eight
and two. They were just coming off of a win
against the Baltimore Ravens. How did the season work out? Well?
They went ten and seven. Why because at the back
end of the of the schedule they played four good teams.
They lost all four of those. Guess what if the
Steelers lose today, I lose on Sunday, They're going to

(19:37):
be six and five. They felt to play the Bears
at Detroit and the Ravens twice. You think they're getting
to ten wins with that schedule, They're gonna have to
pull some mighty upsets to get there. If they dropped
this one to the Bears, who by the way, are
good themselves and are also deeply incentive to win this
game to hold on the first place themselves. This is
a tough spot it all rounds. I listen. I know people, Oh, dude,

(20:02):
you don't like Mike Tomlan who was more supportive of
Mike Tomlin than Dave. How you know? The remarkable never
losing even streak is something to point at and no
matter how much people try to diminish it.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
It is.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
It is amazing that he was able to do that.
But like I said last year, they should have moved
on to Ben Johnson.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Well he's doing amazing things there in Chicago, no doubt.
Dave Damna check Football America podcast. Make sure to check
it out, and he's brought to you by the Gateway
Clipper this morning on DV.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Thanks Dave, great stuff, Pad, Thanks m.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, well, he didn't have a whole lot of opportunities
to shoot the ball there, dude, what do you want
to hear the Roses.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
This real two point five dve well bill has sailed
on to greener comedy pastures, which means we can't do
pick six anymore but the road, but I can do
my end. Yes, that's right, He's on the road. That's right.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
So instead I'll be doing three and out for you.
These are games that are guaranteed to probably, maybe.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Likely possibly be a lock. All right, let's get it started.
The Browns at the Raiders, oh minus four. This game
is the worst thing to happen to Las Vegas since
the Rico Act. At least the mob knew how a
treated guy who lost a month's salary playing Keno No
more free ba Phaser Bogo coupons for the Robin Tug

(21:56):
join off Fremont Street since Corporate America took over Sin City.
This game is so I'm surprised they're not flexing it
to the XFL. Both both of these teams are two
and eight, and when you watch them, all you can
think of is how they get two. Neither of these
coaches are buying any green bananas, and there won't be
a quarterback in the building that will last in the
NFL longer than a stick of juicy fruit. But I digress.

(22:17):
Let's start with Cleveland. After doing everything humanly possible to
not play Shadoor Sanders, including trading for a QB, drafting another,
conscripting a couple, shanghaiing a few more elder abusing a
free agent quarterback to within an inch of him quitting
the sport, the Browns now have no other choice but
to start should Sanders, and after watching him play in

(22:40):
the second half last week, they'd be better off starting
Bernie Sanders. Hell, they'd be better off starting Bernie Kozar,
and he just had a liver transplant. Last week. Shador
was four of seventeen with an interception and two sacks
that he made exponentially worse by running backwards. He makes
Kenny Pickett look like Mike Vick under pressure, and since

(23:01):
he'll be suited up for the Raiders, Kenny might just
give Shador a backwards run for his money on this one.
I think there's a real chance you see the Raiders
cross the picket line because Gino Smith has stunk worse
than a stripper's g string after a double shift. Gino's
postgame presser after getting ripped by the Cowboys last week
an instant classic.

Speaker 8 (23:19):
I keep saying this, man, if some don't look right
out there, blaming it on me, right, If it don't
look right, blame it on me.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
That's all you can do.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Blame it on me.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
If you kids mess up with school, blame it on me.
Carbrick down going to work, Blame it on me. Careful
with that generosity of culpability, Gino, because the Shador stands
will blame you for when he stinks. Josina Anderson already
has it written up in her draft folder. The Browns
traded Kennedy to the Raiders in the preseason, continuing to
toss the hot potato of his career and making him

(23:48):
lug that Levin furniture couch to his third team in
two years. And when Pickett finally does take charge, Miles
Garrett is going to batter him so hard it'll make
what he did the Mason look like he was brushing
some lint off his shoulder.

Speaker 9 (24:02):
He killed Kenny.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
You passed. Brown's defense wins this one by themselves, and
Ryan Clark Will claims Stefanski should be fired for not
playing Shador sooner book it. I'm taking the Browns next
Eagles at the Cowboys. Cowboys getting three and a half.
Nick Sirianni, the second most popular former IUP coach Jacob
nod to you and your Indiana squad. Well, He's flying

(24:26):
his brotherly Birt's Jerry World this weekend to face their
division rival Dallas Cowboys. Last week, Cowboys receiver CD Lamb
and George Pickens were bench for the first series of
the game for team conduct violation. The team won't say
what the violation was, but given the yearly ongoing soap
opera in Dallas, they probably shot JR. If you're under forty,

(24:47):
google it. Cowboys interim coach Brian Schottenneimer at this point
every coach in Dallas is inter him as far as
I'm concerned. He refused to say what the dumbnamic duo
were doing that got them bench, but he did praise
them for not the first series they were allowed to play. Quote,
they literally jump started the offense when they got back in.
They didn't hang their heads, they didn't do any of

(25:08):
that stuff. That's why I love these guys. Man. Schottenheimer
later excused Pickens on sportsmanlike conduct penalty on a touchdown celebration,
saying I just love the way he plays. This is
giving big. They pooped in my range drover, but if
it wasn't for them, I'd be driving a Kia Energy.
Good news for fans of Schadenfreud. Though HBO's Hard Knocks

(25:29):
in season, NFC East will be filming behind the scenes
of this week's practices and games for this year's NFL
Shank sanctioned Look Behind the Curtain. This is the fifth
time Jerry Jones has turned the Cowboys into a TV show.
This year alone, there were NFL Netflix docu series America's Team,
The Gambler and His Cowboys, America's Sweetheart, The Sweethearts, The

(25:53):
Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and Jerry also did a cameo in
the show Landman. He was featured in an EP of
Botched Epic Plastic Surgery Disasters, and I'm still waiting for
him to pop up in the Ken Burns American Revolution
documentary as Young Boy in town Square. But the only
TV show in which the Cowboys fans want to see

(26:13):
Jerry's overlifted face is the Super Bowl. It's been nearly
thirty years since they've been back, and Cowboys fans want
them to start focusing on Lombards instead of Emmys. And
the Cowboys are primed for an upset because the Eagles
have not exactly been flying straight. They needed a bogus
pi penalty to beat the Lions last week. Aj Brown
has been bitching up a storm on Twitch about how

(26:34):
the offense has more cracks than the Liberty Bell, which,
to be fair, that has only one crack, and Sa
Kwan can't even get this team to crack the top
ten in rushing. Plus every time Jalen hurts his ask
what's wrong with his team, he keeps saying stupid cryptic
stuff like I didn't walk through the fire just to
smell the smoke, or I had purpose before everyone had opinions.
That's great, Jalen, but how does that explain why you

(26:56):
check down more often than a guy with a broken zipper.
I do hope the Eagles use the toush push a
lot because you know the Texas governor thinks it's super gay. Ooh,
what self respecting man would grind himself into the backside
of another Get my lawmaking kid with these two teams.
They met in the season opener, Eagles defensive stud Jayleen

(27:16):
Carter got thrown out for spitting on Dak six seconds
into the game. This time, I think the Eagles are
going to be swallowing a big d upset. I'm taking
Jerry's kids play the home Dogs next. The mate event
Steelers in Chicago facing the Bears, Bears favored by two
and a half points. Does Joe Rogan have a special

(27:37):
elixir that can quickly cure Aaron Rodgers broken wrist? Is
there some sort of plant medicine concoction combining elk, meat, colloil, silver,
and goat colostrum that men's bones overnight? If not, we
might be looking to Mason and his lod this much
mustache to make mixmead of the Munster's the way you know,

(28:02):
the narrative in most sports media is that the Bears
hope to be facing Mason because they have a Chicago
style beef with Aaron. Since the second City is his kind.
The town chicager is Rogers twenty four in five against
the Bears, and famously hollered I still own you to
Bears fans after scoring a touchdown for Green Bay in

(28:24):
twenty twenty one, which probably would have adversely affected his
chance to win Illinois on the RFK junior presidential ticket. Nevertheless,
there's only four Bears left from that twenty twenty one
team that might still suffer from PTSQB. And this is
not the twenty one Packers who were fresh off a
conference title game appearance. This is the twenty twenty five

(28:45):
Steelers who keep forgetting to sign a number two wide
receiver and a forty one year old Aaron Rodgers who
has a suture to achilles and for the last few
weeks has looked more skittish in the pocket than a
chihuahua at a vacuum cleaner convention. Chicago coach Ben Johnson
has been just what the Dicka ordered in his first
hint as Papa Bear seven to three in atop the division.

(29:05):
He's got this team turned around quicker than you can
say Eberflus. Careful not to say it two more times,
or he'll appear quarterback Caleb Williams is only a completed
fifty percent of his passes fifty seven percent of his
passes this year. Apparently it is more difficult to catch
a ball with nail polish all over it. But like
Rex Ryan's idea of a perfect date, he can beat

(29:27):
you with his feet. Caleb's real strength is that he
protects the football the way you should grill a steak.
He very rarely turns it over. Additional headaches for the
Steelers running back DeAndre Swift and Kyle Menunge have been
harder to stop than AHEMOPHILIAX nosebleed. Not to mention, the
Bear's defense has more takeaways this year than Ice. But
whether it's Mason or rec Risted Rogers behind Zach's back

(29:51):
on Sunday, I bet your bottom dollar the Steelers offense
doesn't blow in the Windy City. That's because they finally
commissioned Warren to lead the But he won't have to
act alone because somehow Arthur Smith just discovered that Darnell
Washington is harder to take down the Christmas Lights in
a nice storm Against the Bengals on Sunday, he looked

(30:12):
like Frankenstein flinging little putians off his arms and legs.
Let Mount Washington or Rup Arthur, for God's sake. It
all boils down to this. The Bears haven't beat a
team with a winning record yet, and they ain't gonna
do it on Sunday. The Pope might be from Chicago,
but the Bears don't have a prayer. Take the Steelers
and the points just to be safe.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (30:32):

You've seen him on Last Comic Standing, Conan and The
Tonight Show.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Now catch us Baty E Morning Show. It's the DVE
Morning Show. Randy Bauman and Glad to be joined right
now in anticipation of this week's Lock the Dog is
excited to in anticipation of this week's The Small's Waltz,
the tribute to the legendary Last Waltz concert performed by
the band and all of their rock and roll friends.

(31:40):
Joining us right now from Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble Band.
He'll be a part of Saturday night's festivities at Mister Small.
It's our friend Eric Lawrence. Eric, what's up, buddy?

Speaker 4 (31:50):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I'm so glad to be talking with you. Randy.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Likewise, you know, and I was telling you in rehearsal
the other night and before we got on the air
here just how grateful I am that you're a part
of this show. And you know, you said something to
me last year at the end of the show and
we were having a little post celebratory libation, and you
talked about how much this music means to you. And
I think that that's something that makes this special. This

(32:17):
show is because this music for the people who are
there in the canon of everything that comes from the band.
Of course they always love, but there's something about these
particular songs that strikes an almost religious chord with people.

Speaker 12 (32:31):
Eric, Yeah, cord is a good word. Yeah, I agree,
And I can just say, you know, I've done a
lot of work where I've studied how sound and vibration
affects people in an almost medicinal way, and how they've
used it for thousands of years in indigenous cultures. And

(32:51):
I have this unique experience that's different from most people
is that I've stood on stage in front of tens
of thousands of people and when Levon Helm would go
into a song like Ophelia or you know, the Night
They Drove, you know, like whatever song the Weight of course,
you know, I would just see people burst into tears,
like spontaneously and and lift off the ground. And so

(33:15):
I saw how how incredible music played with the spirit
of people who just really really love what they do,
really brings people to a better place in their lives.
And this music in particular, and although I never did
the last Waltz as a full concert would leave on,

(33:35):
he wasn't never really interested in doing something like that.
What I did see was when you played one of
those songs, and you know, we're artists, were used to
playing you know, to us, the great challenge is finding
that next special thing. But when there is a special
thing and you do it and you know it touches

(33:56):
something for people, it's just very an amazing feeling to.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Witness these songs. Yeah, I mean, there's something unique about
the Last Waltz. Obviously, the all star factor is one
part of it that you can obviously point to, But
I think the thing that that gets kind of lost
in the understanding of what makes it special is that, yes,
it's the all star roster, but the way that those

(34:22):
performers pushed each other throughout the show and the end
results ends up being the best of what the best
have to offer. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (34:33):
Well, there's a kind of elation when you're surrounded by
all these other people and you're doing music that you
love and and you know and there's a there's a
like mindedness to it.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
And even though you know, I was a kid.

Speaker 12 (34:45):
When the Last Waltz happened, the first time I played
with the band in ninety three was was Bill Clinton's inauguration,
where you know it was euphoric in Washington, d C.
At that time, and people really felt like we were
turning over a new leaf.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
And the group that I played with, you know, the band,
but it was also Vassar Clements, Stephen Stills.

Speaker 12 (35:07):
And doctor John and Bob Dylan making a mysterious appearance,
and you know, and and lots of other people of course, Uh,
you know, the guy who got me involved in it
all was John Simon, who was a neighbor of mine
who brought me in and you know, probably had, you know,
single handedly, unintendedly had the biggest impact on my entire
career by getting me involved in this stuff.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (35:28):
And I saw that same thing with the same a
lot of the same musicians, but the same caliber caliber
of musicians, and it was just joy. We had an
eight and a half hour rehearsal that was completely discombobulated,
but everybody was just just laughing and happy to be there.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Ye know.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Dylan is the guy that I think that I always
wonder you know, I know, Van Morrison famously, you know,
would kick it up a notch if Dylan was around.
He just worshiped Bob Dylan. And you know, there's an
apocryphal possibly apocryphal story of him moving to stock just
to sort of be around Bob Dylan back in the day.
But you know, you see Neil Young hears Joni Mitchell

(36:08):
perform and that propels him to give a special performance,
and that propels Ronnie Hawkins to give a special performance.
And Doctor John comes out and does his doctor John thing,
and then well that you know, the next man up
uh tries to you know, do their best and and
basically hold serve with all of these icons of that time.

Speaker 12 (36:31):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you've got to be on your
best game and that you know, we've also heard the
series about what they did to make everybody comfortable with Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Sure there was a little there was a little performance
enhancing aspect to it all.

Speaker 12 (36:46):
Yeah, it doesn't need to be spoken on radio, but
but but but yeah, I definitely felt like that was there,
although I you know, definitely when I played, it wasn't
the same, right, the same type of encouragement that was backstage. Sure,
but but but they didn't need it because because that
was the show that that helped to make all them

(37:07):
who they are, you know, helped to create the legends
of them and then the rest of their lives, you know,
they they were already in the flow of becoming that
and then this kind of crystallized it thanks to the
Scorsese and you know, and uh, you know, a general
public you know, going out there and and and and
bear in mind too, the Last Waltz was, as Howard
Johnson liked to remind us all the time, was a tour.

(37:30):
It wasn't a concert or a night you know, two
nights of concerts. They were touring the Last Waltz. You know,
the horn section was on and maybe all the stars
weren't there for the entire tour, but whoever could jump
on would jump on.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yeah. That's that is the least talked about aspect of
the Last Waltz, and miss just not even misunderstood. I
don't think people realize that.

Speaker 12 (37:53):
Right, except for the really hardcore fans. Yeah, you know,
and uh, yeah, it's true. And and that I got
to experience, you know, during my years touring with with
with Levan, touring with Little Feet, touring with you know,
jumping back to the nineties with Buddy Miles, is like
you'd show up and then everybody else would show up,
just wanting to be around, right and to feel Levon's

(38:14):
groove and to you know, get on stage with him
and you know, and try to mix it up a
little bit. You know, a boy, when I play with
Buddy Miles, you know, there would be a line out
the door of guitar players waving to sit in, and
I bet and we wouldn't stop until they all did,
you know, And not just the local guys, but like
big name people, everybody, everybody in town who was free
that night would be there to sit in.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
That's amazing. Well, that spirit of performers pushing each other
really shines through on these Pittsburgh Ramble Band shows. Here.
Paul Luke is going to be a part of this one,
Clinton Clegg, John Binley, Joe Grischky, Jeff Taylor, Attie Twigg,
Bill Deazi and Celadonia, Molly Alphabet Chet, Vincent Andre Costello,

(38:57):
Jen Warts. It's going to be an absolute black and
of course helming the horn section up from the Midnight
Ramble Band himself, Eric Lawrence, who joins us now, man,
I can't wait till tomorrow night. I'm very much looking
forward to it, and I just want to say thanks
again for lending your time and your talent to this
great event, which, by the way, raises a whole bunch
of money for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank at

(39:17):
a time of the year that they desperately need it.
So thank you again and absolutely yeah.

Speaker 12 (39:22):
And I want to throw in Mark Dignam's name there too,
because he's a gay, close personal fan.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
We just went to see Josh Rider together. Mark is
the best, I mean, what an absolute he is, like
he is the if there's a saint of the local
music scene, like if there's like a pope somebody, like
I need a concierge here, you know, our concier concieri,
not a concierge, somebody that I can confide in or
get advice from. Mark is always there and makes himself

(39:49):
available to all musicians, and he is the best possible
spirit to have around for any of these kinds of events.

Speaker 12 (39:55):
He's the wisdom And that's just what we were talking about.
He's the kind of guy when he performs in this setting,
you know, it's it's so rooted and reaches so high
up into the sky.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
At the same time.

Speaker 12 (40:08):
That everybody else is going to be there too, you know,
like that wave you know just carries over I mean,
last year's concert was such a joy for me to
be a part of. And thank you for putting it
all together, because this is the Pittsburgh Waltz. It's you know,
you've just put together you know, as many of the
stars of Pittsburgh that you know that you can assemble

(40:28):
at one on one.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
Night, at one time.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 12 (40:31):
And and I see the spirit with the guys that rehearsal,
you know, everybody is involved. It's really beautiful.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Well yeah, it's it's just so much fun. And there
are a few tickets left. They're probably going to sell
out by the time this interview air, So get on
it and call over to the Mister Smalls box office
or log onto DV dot com. They have a link
there that you can get in for the small As
Waltz that's tomorrow night in eight o'clock show, star Studded

(40:57):
and it is a faithful rendition of the great concert
film of all time, Martin Scorsese and the band and
the last Waltz from the Midnight Ramble Band.

Speaker 12 (41:07):
He sorry, throwing one one last quick thing. Uh I
still play in Woodstock at Levon's Barn. You can go

Helm Family Ramble. It's run by Levon's amazing daughter Amy and.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Her son Lee.

Speaker 12 (41:23):
Uh is probably as closest will come to seeing Levon
you know, return Kay, it's incredible. Oh well, he's seventeen now,
and he's just like a great drumman and a great singer,
and he's just got this beautiful spirit and uh and
for some reason he brings his uh, his step granddad out,
who just loves him so much. Donald Fagan comes to

(41:44):
just about every show that's great.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
He sits in.

Speaker 12 (41:48):
Sometimes even sits in with the seventeen year old band
that Lee has with his friends. You know, he just
he loves his grandson so much. You know, you know,
he's not doing anything but come into our all right.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Well, if you're headed up to Levon's barn, you might
see Eric playing up there with the Ramble band and
all the great shows that Amy and her family are
putting on up there. But you can definitely see him
tomorrow night at mister Small's as part of the Smalls Waltz. Eric,
see you tomorrow, thanks so much, buddy.

Speaker 13 (42:15):
Yeah, by bye, It's time for the Steelers Daily Report
on DVE brought to you by Independence Health System Expert
Care here and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it direct from
the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 14 (42:30):
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 left wrist injury. 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

(42:52):
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 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

(43:13):
start to the season, stopping the run the Steelers run
defense has been trending in the right direction.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
As of late.

Speaker 14 (43:18):
They've climbed all the way up to the league's thirteenth
best run DYE, allowing just one hundred and six point
four yards on the.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Ground per game.

Speaker 14 (43:25):
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.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
I'm Tom Opraman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 15 (43:40):
Does your annual screening Mammograham feel like another errand? Independence
Health System is helping to make your healthcare easy.

Speaker 9 (43:48):
Just drive to one of our five. Person is willing
to drive one hundred and seventy two miles out of
their way to pick up a loved one.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Oh my god, f W.

Speaker 9 (44:02):
That's what I thought.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
I that's three hours. Three hours.

Speaker 9 (44:05):
Yeah, I want to take inventory of my life. I
don't know if I should say this on the radio.
I don't think I love anyone that much.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show. I would drive
like an hour to get you, would you, well, I
mean round trip.

Speaker 9 (44:27):
Oh yeah, no you Randy. Let me tell you what.
Twenty minutes back and forth?

Speaker 1 (44:36):
No, very sweet, No, My like my limit from Pittsburgh
is Grove City.

Speaker 9 (44:42):
I think that's you know what. That is a great
Grove City. We're friends.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
You need me to pick you up, I go up
to Grove City, come back. But any further than that,
I've picked.

Speaker 9 (44:53):
You up before, like Roaric Toyota.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
That's in the city.

Speaker 9 (45:00):
I know. I'm a great friend. I am rock solid.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
I'm that guy. And then I bet I took you
to lunch you did.

Speaker 9 (45:08):
Okay, apologize for like three weeks after that.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I'm so sorry you had to pick me up.

Speaker 9 (45:12):
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, did you do one tiny thing for me?
I'll apologize for a year.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
I am so sorry. How can I make it up
to you financially?

Speaker 16 (45:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Exactly? Can we can we assert some sort of payment
play in here?

Speaker 9 (45:27):
Yeah, financially where we don't actually have to, you know,
be emotional about it.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Our packed house today includes comedian Ian Bagg, who is
going to be at the improm all weekend long, plus
Cam Hayward's going to call us in about eight minutes. FYI,
we're gonna be talking to Cam Hayward very soon. Hey yeah,
Sean Colliers in studio with us too. And that new
Wicked movie did is everybody okay on the set of Wicked.
Every time I see a video from the set of

(45:53):
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 17 (46:04):
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 1 (46:13):
Well, I think I know how I could regulate their emotions. Hmm,
give them a sandwich. I mean, these women 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.

(46:33):
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 17 (46:44):
There's some speculation that they, you know, made Arianna look
a little bit more healthy than she is. That maybe
they digitally put weight on her. 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

(47:07):
present in the film that they may have like cgied
down some of those which well, the camera adds ten pounds. 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 even I'm not joking. It's just like, no,
not a weird phenomenon that's happening, because they all look
like they are, like they're really sick.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yeah, they're wasting away.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Jeff Goldblum looks fine. He just seems to be having
a Now he's he's still buff at seventy, right, isn't
he seventy? I think he is.

Speaker 9 (47:39):
Did you see the Madame Tusso's wax figurine of him?
You literally cannot tell which one is the figurine. It's insane.
I think the wardrobe is the only thing that gives
it away.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Compliment to the wax figurine sculptor or to Jeff Goldblum.

Speaker 9 (47:55):
Oh, I'm just how weird he looks.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Yeah, right, it's the waxiest man in Hollywood.

Speaker 9 (48:00):
But I agree with you. It's like the people who
filmed Similer's List aren't having as much trauma as the
people who did Wicked.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Right, That was the crude comparison. I didn't want to
make it. I'm sorry.

Speaker 9 (48:11):
It just is 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 1 (48:18):
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. I don't. I think I think they really
like each other, which is nice. No, that's that part's cool.

(48:40):
That's nice and everything. Did you see this interview where
uh Cynthia starts crying when a helicopter flies over and
Ariana ground has to Grande has to console her or
the helicopter. She's got her hands over.

Speaker 18 (48:55):
Her eyes, crying soot have the time helicopter.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
And she's catching her breath. They're like she's falling into
her hands. Ariana Grande's telling the helicopter to go away.
Cynthia can't stop crying because a helicopter flew over now paparazzi.
Is that what the trigger is there?

Speaker 9 (49:16):
I don't know, 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 at a red carpet event, and
it had some girlfriend energy, not like this is my

(49:37):
best friend, like like that's my wife, Like yeah, and listen,
I'm not saying that they are. 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 1 (49:56):
I don't even think it's romantic.

Speaker 9 (49:57):
I think it's cult like very much.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
It feels like they're all in a cult where they're
not allowed to eat. Anyways. I hope it's worth it.
I hope the movie's great. 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. What's going.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Oh my god, that's the only way they can break
the spell of Oz is if they're winning the Oscar
and then they like eat the statue on the stadium.

Speaker 17 (50:25):
Cynthia Rivo is a remarkable performer, and based on this stuff,
how fragile she seems to be. Apparently you didn't need
to be big to have a big voice.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Fragile is the worst in every way, shape and form.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Here.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
It is strange to me to see these people in
the profession that they are in with that level of fragility.

Speaker 17 (50:45):
Well, and you picture 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 4 (51:01):
All right.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
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 show's loaded, and we've already had Dave Danishek and
Eric Lawrence from levon Helms Midnight Ramble Band about that
kicking things off this morning.

Speaker 9 (51:17):
Yeah, that's right, are there any tickets left, by the
way for yesterday?

Speaker 1 (51:21):
There were a couple a dozen left, So I'm looking
and I'll send a text, but I'm guessing.

Speaker 9 (51:31):
It's gonna I would 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 Saturday,
I would say, I don't think you are.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Yeah, like I said, there's a couple dozen left, 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. So while we wait for Camabby
bring us up today.

Speaker 9 (51:54):
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.

(52:15):
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. A Pittsburgh
dairy has introduced an adult version of its classic eggnog.
Penhills based Turners has concocted a version of its traditional
drink of rich and creamy vanilla mixed with spices such

(52:36):
as nutmeg, cinnamon, and clothes. It is now coming with
a kick of alcohol, and you can get it at
select Giant Eagle locations.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Wasn't all eggnog adult to begin with?

Speaker 9 (52:47):
I don't know that the Turner's one that was available
to everybody had alcoholic feustrated.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
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, 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.

Speaker 19 (53:06):
Better now though, right, I am not a fan. I
mean a drink Horns juice. It's fine, but better with booze.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
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 9 (53:24):
Seems like you're gonna get sick.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah, Like, I don't like right, white Russians or any
of that stuff. Unless I'm at a bowling alley. 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 me and through me. 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.

(53:49):
Eggnog is so viscous too that it feels weird to
be like, I immediately feel my throat start to constrict. It's
a bad name too.

Speaker 9 (54:00):
It's a bad name. I avoided it always because of that.
It just sounded like something that was gonna give me
bubble guts.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
So it's like something that you don't want to look
up on Urban Dictionary.

Speaker 9 (54:10):
Oh you, but the first time I had it, who
was last year with Rick Seaback. 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 egg noong and that was the
first time I ever had it.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
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 think, but those were like raisin and I

(54:46):
don't know rum raisin or something like that.

Speaker 9 (54:48):
They did have a lot of spices in them, and
I know that he was rattling them off. I also
didn't care. I feel like it's one of those like
baptisms where if Rick Seaback 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 will, I'll
snort it. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
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.

Speaker 9 (55:14):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
From Saint Rick coming back, I hope so.

Speaker 17 (55:19):
And apparently present them in a powder for Abby, she's
like your cookies, snort your cookies, and Sturdy does.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
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. There's not really an easy solution here.
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

(55:48):
named Jane 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.
Grandma doesn't need slippers. And if they don't live by you,
don't get them a gift.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
How long could she possibly stay mad at you? She's
not gonna remember, not going to be around here a gift. Yeah,
that grudge won't last.

Speaker 19 (56:17):
Long ago law that you didn't remember me at Christmas.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
She's gonna be mad at me. 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.

(56:41):
I don't care. And my older sister's like, no, no, no,
no, no no. The second they graduate high school, they're they're
in 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,

(57:02):
and she she is adamant, 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, there's sixty four cousins in my family,
so they couldn't possibly keep up with the demand. I
get it.

Speaker 19 (57:16):
But she's right, you think, so, yeah, they got to
stand on her own at some point.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Now, event like their life depends on it.

Speaker 19 (57:23):
Eventually they'll get older and you'll be in the bar
and you can trade buying rounds and all that.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
But yeah, I agree with your sister.

Speaker 9 (57:29):
I like that you take the role.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
So seriously, well, I'm not going to do the church thing,
so I might as well buy him presents something else.

Speaker 19 (57:36):
I like that, Yeah, 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.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Two of my god children are out of college, then
they're done. See I still sell them back on them,
and that's it. Well, and except for the house. I
bought my one god child a vape because she was, well,
the godparents are supposed to keep them alive. She's twenty three.

(58:10):
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. And I
asked her parents first, I'm like this because the boxes, well,

(58:33):
what if I sent them a bottle of wine. Nobody
would say anything, right, no, as long as it's even now,
you have to buy them all vapes.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
To be fair.

Speaker 17 (58:43):
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 1 (58:52):
We loved it.

Speaker 17 (58:53):
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 and 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're like, no,

(59:15):
we're washing our hands of this tradition. Wow, so you
gotta buy them all vapes.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
But I do like the idea that buying your grandparents
something is like like those from Fox News. Yeah, that's hilarious.
The old people die.

Speaker 9 (59:28):
Like, isn't that they're fan base?

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Yeah exactly. 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 9 (59:49):
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, oh you know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Yeah, So every year.

Speaker 9 (01:00:08):
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. 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. And so like, no
matter what, you would give them as much as you
would put thought into it. And gift giving sometimes is

(01:00:31):
for you. Sometimes you want to give the gift. It
feels good to give a gift to people, Randy, 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 1 (01:00:47):
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

(01:01:08):
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 this is racking up points. I'm in
a deficit now, you know. Yeah, 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,

(01:01:29):
Oh yeah, I'll take that. I'll put it in the freezer.

Speaker 20 (01:01:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:01:32):
I like that plan. Food would work.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
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 9 (01:01:40):
I tried one year to give my mom a room
book because my mom's a cleaner, and I was like thinking, okay,
you know they have a nice size house.

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
This would be She immediately think it was an insult.

Speaker 9 (01:01:51):
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
there was no roomba. And then she just said I
can clean better on my own.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:02:13):
And then you know what, two months later, you know
what she got me.

Speaker 10 (01:02:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Was it the same roomba? Yeah, it was like old school.
This is the very same one. She regifted the ruma
regifted room.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
The room.

Speaker 19 (01:02:28):
It was the box, kind of beat up, looked like
it had been open to this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
He had to give he 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. I don't have an issue with that. Maybe
Abe wanted a room. Did you want a rumba?

Speaker 9 (01:02:45):
Yeah it's busting now, but yeah, broken rumba. I got
a broken rumb I do have a question about that.
I don't know if there was a store with a view.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Ian Baggsy gonna join his cam's supposed to call us.
I don't know. He's he's probably run behind a little
bit this morning, but we'll get him on eventually. Here.
Let me go get Ian Bag. He'll join us. Mike Persuda.
Thursday night football didn't go the way you thought it
was gonna do it. I told you before he left
here that team slappy lookout and that Houston defense is good. Yeah,
I guess that's what I call it. Gamble Coach Mills

(01:03:20):
still sticks. I know, I know, but you but that
was your whole basis for that.

Speaker 19 (01:03:25):
Yeah, Betty gets the quarterback whose steaks. I am going
to go down that road again some day.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Is there any way you can play that?

Speaker 21 (01:03:31):
Reach out on Facebook, Twitter, phone or the talk back
button on the iHeartRadio app. You picked the tunes on
the Electric Lunch week days at noon on d V.

Speaker 7 (01:03:43):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service bridge.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Ian Bag, Lady and gentlemen, Hello everybody. He is in
Pittsburgh this weekend at the Improv. And I'll tell you
what it is, just a it's a pleasure to see you. Pleasure.
It's delightful to junior lobby for quite a well. And
I think you're.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Oh, whats so, you know, I was just as I
was thinking, I'm like, oh, this is every Stalker movie
you've seen, every every every biography.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
There was a guy waiting in the lobby. Hey, I'm
I'm supposed to be on the radio, and he's crazy.
He had his own channel in his.

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
And everything.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
So I was just like I was trying to put
it all together. Oh my goodness, I'm putting a head headphones on.
Hold on everybody that is right there. Yeah, We're like,
we're on the air. We're talking.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
My phone is ringing ian Bag, Ian Bag, and I'm like, well,
I'm on the air. I can't do anything about it.
And then a big text message prompt comes through. I'm
in your lobby.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
I've been there for quite a while.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
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
every year ago. How about we do in January this

(01:05:03):
year because everything's much cheaper.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Oh I like that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
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 right because
we do it January first, we pretend New Year's christ
she really did this and Christmas is New Year's Who's
going to find out now, Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
The Serbs Christmas is seventh. Did you actually when you
were growing up, 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 19 (01:05:34):
Parents, to your pointing, and our parents didn't want us
to feel like weirdo kids.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
Right.

Speaker 19 (01:05:38):
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. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
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 Serbian church, those are slogs.

Speaker 19 (01:05:56):
Times three in the language i'd never got as an
outsider of church.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Which is the best religion.

Speaker 4 (01:06:01):
To go with?

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Oh? Well, here's the thing I will say about Catholicism
as it pertains to length of service. It is the
one mass that very much depends on the mood of
the priest you can go in. I mean, there was
a priest at Saint James Parrish which was one of
the two that we would go to Father McCormick. If
my dad knew Father McCormick had mass, he would change
his schedule because it was at least twenty minutes shorter

(01:06:24):
than follow a tool, so he would go run hurry up,
did he Yeah, he'd go. He'd go, oh, hey, Father
McCormack's got five fifteen Saturday. We're going five fifteen Saturday.
We'd be like, we get baseball practice lit. 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 the back because that mass
would get crowded, so he would know if you got

(01:06:44):
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. That was key.
We had to have the bulletin because it was like
it was our ticket to God. Is like, do you
e a receipt that you were at church today? Yes,
I got the bulletin to blow out through the comedian
after you had to wait until after the community because
as soon as like that happened, you could get out

(01:07:05):
of there. So the total time, the total time in
and out would be like twenty five minutes. And my
dad would be like, look at that. 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 would be like
five forty two. That's a record. No, Like he was,
he was obsessed with how quickly we could get in

(01:07:28):
and out of mess that. Father McCormick would not bloviate
in his sermons. He would just get on the pulpit
and be like, be good to each other. It's nice outside,
let's get going. You know, we're talking an hour and
a half to at least. That's the middle. Yeah, that's
when we went to the Catholic church. It wasn't like that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
And know it's just a lot of confusion on our part, aerobics.
We don't go when Grandma and Grandpa came to down,
that's that would be the problem. And Mom treated like
we had actually been going to church, and and my sister.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Would be just be messing it up the whole time,
just miss all the words.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
You didn't know any of the words, not none of
the words, not for the bread everything.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
Yeah, I want a piece of Jesus. I want a
piece from the outside. I see.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
The best religion out there right now is Mormons. Because
they give you a bike. So I'm just gonna tie.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
You got it. You got, you got a precursor to
work at enterprise.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
Uh, you got.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
But they give you they give you heaven right on
earth because you want a bike when you're a kid. Yeah,
and then you get a trip to the Philippines. You've
got to really think about these religions. 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. Keep
me out of that. That's the mission. That's that you
have to go to the Philippines.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
You have to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
I love the kids that get the mission and they
get long Beach. They have to go covert the people,
the people living on the water. Let me tell you
about heaven, you mean right out there with Come on,
but put it again. Have you seen the sunset?

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
Everything's going well here. I don't know what you guys
are up to. Better than this.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Ian. You are at the improv tonight and tomorrow are you?
You're not doing Sunday shows? No, I don't believe in that. Yeah,
well church, yeah, yeah, in my church, of course.

Speaker 3 (01:09:18):
I mean the Steelers are yeah, otherwise known as the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
It's a beauty. Yeah, it's a beauty.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:09:27):
I was? It was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Luggage was so quick to get to.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
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 be there, right.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
So now you just walk across in.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Your luggage come they tell you it's going to be
an hour before your luggage can get there.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
So yeah, I loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
And and your freaky statues are moved into an area.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
I see now. I saw this. The the famous Frank
o'harris statue in George, Washington are now put in. They're
not out in the open. They're they're behind glass, right, No.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
I don't they're they're in a booth kind of thing.
But I don't know if it's covered.

Speaker 17 (01:10:10):
That booth they got sick of people touching Franco's butt
on their way to Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
But that was part of the taking selfies with Franco
in the airport. Now now you can't step up and
do that. Who's the other one? Rachel Carson, No, Nelly
Bly and George Washington. Yeah, and who's having a moment
with this new ken Burns documentary. I mean George we
really claimed George Washington.

Speaker 19 (01:10:31):
I mean what he drives through town once on a
wagon like he landed here on Washington.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
He almost drowned on the river there. Oh my goodness.
To even read the.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
Book Pittsburgh, the story more places. They're taking the wrong
people out of this country. The Americans gotta go. They
don't know nothing about. It's funny because I'm studying for
my citizenship test and I'm just reading all the others.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
They're coming in.

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
I just like, uh, we got to get this done
because I'm concerned about things I got. So you're reading me,
You're like, oh, they broke that one, Well they broke
that one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
Yeah, oh yeah, no, there's no question. It's really funny.
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 were thinking I need to
have Canadian citizenship. Have you they've all been calling, Yeah,
they're asking you for what's the inroads?

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
Yeah, And I'm just like I can hook you up,
but you're gonna have to work in a mine.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Right, nobody's put any thought into it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
How about if you watch them for twenty five like
some people have been doing a year.

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Oh my goodness. So close last year? So close?

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
So close yet to winning the second round? Or what
do they get that they got to the second round?

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Right? I thought they got to the conference championship last year.

Speaker 19 (01:11:56):
No, okay, I know it's been a while since they
were the cup.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
That that much is definitely true. When I say a while,

three Afternoons with Chad Ty Sudden on DV.

Speaker 1 (01:14:13):
Is this season tho, so everybody. Ian Bag is live
in studio with us. He's at the BROV 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, I 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

(01:14:34):
know you were in town because you are a DVE favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:14:36):
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.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
We went down to the PPG Thains we are the
DVE fiftieth Anniversary 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 I
was just kind of the I kicked off the night,

(01:15:07):
but I didn't host. Gardell hosted the whole show.

Speaker 19 (01:15:10):
Yeah, best line up there since the twenty sixteenth Penguins.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
It's an amazing like when I tell people that line up,
They're like, what, yeah, we all got seven dollars that
also drunk, right, I mean, oh we had I had
the best time and that was the first arena that
I'd ever played, and it was so much fun.

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
Do you know what was weird about that? That was
the first arena show you ever did. And I remember
sitting backstage with Burr and Roy and we're watching you
and everybody's like, how's he doing? Crowd working in an
arena like this. I'm not going to tell anybody, it's
my secret. You're just talking to people all over the
place and there's you know, ten thousand people in front
of you. It was fun and somehow you made that

(01:15:52):
into a club. It was amazing. Mike Pursued has a
couple of things to get to here, does Well, there's
a big game this weekend, Ian the We're going to
Chicago to play the Bear. Oh that's a big exciting game.
Well it's no Argonauts versus the Rough Riders. Yeah, yeah,
the Rough the Rough Riders. CFL has eight teams and

(01:16:13):
have the same nickname. We're not we're not a smart people.
We're not known for our wardage sports that sound brought
to you by Ridgual Plights.

Speaker 4 (01:16:23):
Aaron Rodgers was.

Speaker 19 (01:16:24):
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 8 (01:16:38):
He brings that fire about him, you know, and everybody
has the back, so we just got to go out
and do it in plants.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
Too.

Speaker 8 (01:16:47):
That is actually I don't know, so we shall see.
That's why I've had in practice with me, so I
will guess so, but you never know.

Speaker 4 (01:16:54):
When game John comes around.

Speaker 19 (01:16:56):
That's who I've had in practice with me. Jones is
the starting left tackle, he said, makes it 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
ron or orchestrated by Rudolph in twenty twenty three. Friar

(01:17:18):
Mouth appreciated Rudolph then and still does today.

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):
He's older and.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
He's a lot more witty now. He uh, I mean,
you can see.

Speaker 22 (01:17:30):
The cool thing about being with a guy for you know,
five years 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. I think it's been
cool to see him work with Aaron and see how
they've interacted, and you know how Mason's kind of tooking

(01:17:51):
things from Aaron's game and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
So it's been cool to see. Couldn't tell you, couldn't
tell you I could.

Speaker 22 (01:17:58):
I really don't. I truly don't. I really 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 1 (01:18:04):
But no reservation that he does.

Speaker 4 (01:18:07):
No, I mean, we can go with whoever.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
You know, our expectition is to win the game. 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. Here.

Speaker 19 (01:18:20):
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 isn't the 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

(01:18:41):
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 1 (01:18:49):
Or make him the number two? Well, yeah, you know,
not case of emergency. Yeah, because I don't want to
see Will Howard in there. No good point, but we
shall see.

Speaker 17 (01:18:59):
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.

Speaker 19 (01:19:10):
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 1 (01:19:16):
I own you he wants to beat the Bears, right,
he really was?

Speaker 4 (01:19:20):
Yes, it was.

Speaker 19 (01:19:22):
I don't know who's the slappiest team in the league now, Sat,
So it was the Browns. Yeah, the Saint now.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
Forever.

Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:19:33):
Jayalen Warren and Alex Highsmith were both upgraded from did
not practice to limited.

Speaker 1 (01:19:38):
Keep an eye on them. Bears have a lot of
guys banged up.

Speaker 19 (01:19:40):
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 Benedette, is filling in for
the real left tackle, Braxton Jones, who is on ir
So they might be the Bears might be down to
their third left tackle. All right, well, then starting to
get a thin in Chicago, but no over pursuit. Make

(01:20:03):
sure to contain because this guy can beat you. This
guy can kill you if you let him out of
the pocket. You want Caleb Williams in the.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Pocket, yes, make him throw.

Speaker 19 (01:20:10):
He can run, but he is more concentrated on throwing
when he gets outside.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
He's playing it more like a veteran.

Speaker 19 (01:20:17):
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.

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
I assume a coach told him that and they're parroting
it back.

Speaker 19 (01:20:32):
But his ability to when you think you have him sacked,
and all of a sudden you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
That ability is real. Oh so he can do that
scarf thing, but that's it, and then he can throw
on the run. He protects.

Speaker 19 (01:20:47):
He doesn't throw interceptions, but a lot of the reason
for that is sometimes he throws it so poorly nobody
can catch right exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
Just let's I have.

Speaker 19 (01:20:55):
Notes on him, and I have wow with an exclamation point,
and I have WTF with a question.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
One that seems to be them on that guy. What
does that mean? What the heck? How did you do that?
What the are you doing that?

Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
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.
By the way, the worst team in the league right now,
the Tennessee Titans are one and nine. Okay, so Aaron
probably would sit that one out. 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

(01:21:33):
quiet crappy team because everyone forgets about him, you know what,
six wins?

Speaker 19 (01:21:37):
Houston Houston twenty three, Buffalo nineteen last night Thursday Night Football.
That Houston defense is so good that Detexans improved to
three in all with Davis Mills starting a quarterback this year.

Speaker 1 (01:21:52):
You hate Davis Mills. I think it needs a longer
neck for starters. Oh my god, that's why you hate
his football because of its genius.

Speaker 19 (01:22:02):
Yeah, frustrated because we have this thing in this country
called gambling.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
Oh yeah, I thought it was because you're a Serbian.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
Well that too, people are known for your long neck glow.
He's next.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:22:13):
The only two touchdowns Buffalo got they broke one forty
five yard touchdown run and they returned to kickoff for
a touchdown.

Speaker 1 (01:22:19):
That was it.

Speaker 19 (01:22:20):
Josh Allen twenty four thirty four for two point fifty three,
no touchdowns, two picks.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
Rough night for the Bills. There, I told you the
Bills are. I don't know what the Bills.

Speaker 19 (01:22:29):
Are 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 1 (01:22:38):
I think it's probably a bad one.

Speaker 19 (01:22:40):
Right because Houston is coming into the wildcard mix. You
figured Buffalo was already there. If the Steelers don't win
the division, it's going to be dicey getting into the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (01:22:48):
That much is true. Abby's got your news after the break.

Speaker 9 (01:22:50):
How much does Thanksgiving dinner impact your health? And good thing?
It's mostly good news, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Ian bagg is with us live in studio. He's at
the Mprov this weekend. There are a few tick it's left,
jump on them now at improv dot com. Don't jump
on you in though, stay with me in yeah, leave
you in alone.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
As a priest said on the free iHeartRadio app, here's
the DBE weekender.

Speaker 3 (01:23:25):
Pittsburgh and your freaky statues are moved into an area.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
The famous franc Oharris statue and George Washington are now
put in. They're not out in the open there. They're
behind glass, right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:42):
They're in a booth kind of thing, but I don't
know if it's covered that booth.

Speaker 17 (01:23:45):
They got sick of people touching Franco's butt on their
way to Florida.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
But that was part of the taking selfies with Franco
in the airport. Now now you can't step up and
do that. Who's the other one? Rachel Carson, Nolly, Nellie
Bly and George Washington. Yeah, and who's having a moment
with this new ken Burns documentary. I mean, George, do
we really claim George Washington?

Speaker 19 (01:24:06):
I mean when he drives through town once on a
wagon like he landed here on Washington's landing.

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
He almost drowned on the river there. Oh my goodness
to even read the book Pittsburgh, the story more places.

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
They're taking the wrong people out of this country. The
Americans gotta go. They don't nothing about this life. Brandy
Bellman and the d v E morning show.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
In Bag, Yeah, comedy Indian Bag. He's at the Improv
tonight and tomorrow, two shows each night. Four one, two, four, six,
two five, two three three. It's great to see a pal.

Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
You know what's interesting coming to Pittsburgh is a girl
I went to school with, Krista Tycho, lives here with
her husband and they're great people.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
But you would just go with like in like Moose
Knuckle Bar British Columbia.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
Or whatever, I'm up to British Columbia, but she lives here.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
Shoes.

Speaker 3 (01:24:57):
Wait, what was the town in British Columbia? Terrass, British Columbia. Okay,
here's how you get there. You go to Vancouver, right,
you drive north to Prince George for about about nine hours,
and then you take a left and then you keep
going for another eight You get to Prince Rupert.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
You come back an hour. That's terrorist, that is I
cannot believe how off the beaten path you know where
you lived? Stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
My dad, I was going to go home for Christmas
this year, and he's like, well, it could get stuck here.
You never know, you never know what the weather's going
to be like. You might not want that. That's exactly
I call him every day he goes. You know, you
don't have to call every day. You know, we're fine.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
It's for me, Dad, It's for me.

Speaker 3 (01:25:36):
Not a lot happens up here. I don't have anything
to say to you. That's basically what he says. It
still looking out the window.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
What'd you do today? Same things yesterday? Go see Ian
this weekend. Abbey's got a news outdate for so what's
going on?

Speaker 9 (01:25:51):
News This hour brought to you by Windownation. Foggy this
morning in cloudy today a high of fifty one. We
are less than a week away from Thanksgiving, and if
you've ever wondered how much that one big meal can
impact your health, several doctors have weighed in on the topic,
and here is the good news. For the average person.
It's very unlikely that one giant, unhealthy meal is going

(01:26:12):
to negatively impact your long term health. There are, of course,
exceptions for people with serious conditions, like in just of
heart failure, where over eating foods high and saturated fat, sodium,
or sugar could have a more severe impact. Maybe a
little indigestion or heartburn might be uncomfortable for you, but
it passes relatively quickly, no lasting effects. So long story short,

(01:26:35):
have a good time.

Speaker 1 (01:26:36):
Who just has one meal?

Speaker 9 (01:26:39):
I like hope we've talked about what the perfect time
to eat is on Thanksgiving. I don't know if you
like to opine on that. We've kind of landed.

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
Well as soon as in terms of I'm on one
thirty to two o'clock guy is ideal, but three o'clock
is the latest. Oh, anytime between one thirty and three
I think is good.

Speaker 4 (01:27:01):
Yeah, you do?

Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
You guys? You host or do you go? My family
does the same thing every year. Like half of us
go one place, half of us going on. There's too
many of us and you don't get along. Do you host?

Speaker 9 (01:27:14):
I go to my aunt's house, but everybody brings something?

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
What is your responsibility?

Speaker 9 (01:27:20):
I'm the veggie person. I make a nice rainbow veggie spread.
I do a really good roasted vegetable things. So I
bring that in a crock pot.

Speaker 17 (01:27:28):
Don't fill up on that, though, young man. We go
to my wife's house and my wife's parents, I should
take separately. It's much more convenient that way. My wife's
parents in Corey, Pennsylvania, and they eat early. And my
only issue is they don't nap. They don't understand the
essential nap. So I watching a football game passing out.

(01:27:52):
See I always went. I always went to bed. I
always Oh no, never did that?

Speaker 9 (01:27:57):
You leave the room?

Speaker 17 (01:27:58):
Yes I would. I would leave the room, lay down
for forty five minutes and then be back.

Speaker 1 (01:28:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (01:28:04):
Yeah, and I've got, I've got I'm ready for round two.
Serve up the turkey again. But they I tried that
once and it was a mild scandal. Do you believe
that Seoun left right now or not? We were all
sitting and watching a movie and Sean went to the bedroom,
and let now.

Speaker 1 (01:28:17):
I have to would it have been okay if you
fell asleep watching the movie in the same room as them? Yeah,
that would have been okay because that, to me is
the I kind of agree that it is. You're being
not standoffish, but you know, like shy about your farting.
Well there's that.

Speaker 9 (01:28:33):
Too, that says we're not family if you can't bart.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
But like if you can't fall asleep with you know,
like in front of people after Thanksgiving, then like how
close are you really?

Speaker 4 (01:28:43):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:28:44):
Yeah, it is the best part in Christmas vacation when
all the people are sleeping in that one room that
is basically Thanksgiving, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Yeah, And it's like at different intervals, some people are
sleeping and some people are not. Yeah, you know, and
sometimes you can be the person who's still awake and
you can make off and like take some of the
good stuff that's still left while they're asleep.

Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
You can rub everybody, Yeah, go through their person. That's
what's great about Thanksgiving. It's just it's not about presents.
Or having to get get all fired up. It's just
about a big meal and.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
No presence, just food and football. Your presence is required, yeah,
and uh and having some libations.

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
But I when I was younger, I used to get
excited to go out. You know, we talked about this yesterday.
How Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is the biggest bar night
of the year. And I used to get very excited
about that. And most of the time I had gigs
on that night. That was always a big bar band night.
But now I am a super like super excited to
stay home, you know, like, oh my god. Yeah, like

(01:29:40):
break up in a couple of bottles of wine, do
a little prep for dinner the next day. You're getting
me get hammered with my siblings and you know, significant
others and nephews and nieces running around and whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
I go to Escandido, California every year and do two
shows the night before because the tickets sell crazy easy.
Why is that because people basically have started getting home
for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (01:30:03):
Now, okay, right, right, Yeah, today is the day for
a lot of people to make the travel.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
Yeah, 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 (01:30:16):
But these are your fans to you. When I first
started it, it wasn't And I'm fantastic you're an internet sensation.
Let's face it, I don't know that sounds like when
it's something weird.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
Know that somebody you started the Kim Kardashian daya it
is and she was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
Yeah, and you were too, Let's face it. Yeah, we're
both in skims yep. But I mean, what how many
people are following you on like Insta right now?

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
On Instagram it's like, I think quarter of a million.
It's crazy. But your videos hip how many millions of views?

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
That's stupid. It's stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
And I'm just like, thank you guys, Like I'm really like,
it's love let it's love You and Greg War of
the two people that I loved watching take off on
social media. It's fun because what it is where Greg
and I suffered was we couldn't get by the gatekeepers,
so we couldn't get to the people. But now with
the Internet, where we don't need the gatekeepers, we bring you,

(01:31:12):
we bring you the content.

Speaker 4 (01:31:13):
Yea.

Yeah, fun and it's and it's fun meeting people and
having them come out to shows, and like, I just
walk into hotels and people are like, hey, we're coming
to see you, like they're traveling to see me.

Speaker 1 (01:31:24):
It's bizarre. It's so bizarre. It's the best.

Speaker 4 (01:31:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:31:27):
And he's like, I'm more staying in the same hotel.
This is how people get murdered. I'm gonna have to
stay away from the venue. I don't like them staying
with me, but they're so nice and they're so random
in ages. That's the weird part. Like older guy watching
me on TikTok makes no sense at all to me,
and then a younger kid watching me on on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
So it's it's fantastic. I love it. Okay, well I
have to I have to pivot from community comedian ian
Bag who is at the improball weekend. Let's go see him.
But joining us right now. Brought you by Kelly Ante
Pizza in Draft House, the Pizza of Champions. Lady and
Gentlemen from the Pittsburgh Steelers. M Hey, what's going on, buddy?

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
How are you guys? I'm good. Sorry, I'm a little late.
I was I was Bible study, and I totally forgot.

Speaker 1 (01:32:12):
Oh wait a minute, you can't say you were doing
Bible study and then expect us to be mad at you.
I mean, of course Bible study is going to take
no wait, King James version.

Speaker 4 (01:32:23):
Well it's King James version, but we uh, we go.

Speaker 1 (01:32:26):
Through James, not.

Speaker 4 (01:32:29):
That one.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
I apologize. Cam. Here's my question for you. What is
the ideal time to eat Thanksgiving dinner?

Speaker 4 (01:32:37):
Oh? Thanks? I think around like three.

Speaker 1 (01:32:41):
In your window. One thirty three is what I think
is like the ideal time. Anytime after that you're really
getting into the indigestion all night zone.

Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
Yeah yeah, and you're gonna get the meats and then
you're not gonna be able to have a second portion.

Speaker 19 (01:32:55):
Yeah, I do think you should be after the Lions game.

Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
That's like seven o'clock the game, Okay, it bleeds into
the second game a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:33:07):
You got to do a little bit earlier, you know who.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
Nobody needs to see the end of the Lions game.
Cam is not for here for you guys to argue
about Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
Well, actually, Cam is is as good of a person
as anybody to weigh in on stuff like this, because
I mean, I kind of feel like you could. I
don't want to get like fast forward too much, but
you could take a Michael Strahan path in your post
playing career, which I hope is not for a little while.
I'm I guess he doesn't want to do that. The

(01:33:39):
phone broke up there. I was giving you a compliment
in saying that you had pop culture sensibilities. That's all
I was saying.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
Okay, well I agree with that part. I do agree
with that part, Michael Strahan part I still got to
work on all right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:54):
So we had keyesel on the other day. We were
talking about your longevity in your fifteenth year and I
am just amazed at the production that you are still
exhibiting on a weekly basis. It is remarkable to me.
And I got to ask you, how do you feel
right now in week twelve, like in the fifteenth year

(01:34:15):
of your career, how are you feeling feel good?

Speaker 4 (01:34:19):
You know, I'm kind of more pissed up by play.
I feel like I can play a lot better, so
you know, I'm I know everybody's like, oh, yeah, he's
doing at the thing, but like you know, I feel
like I can still take it up another notch. And
the way I look at is we got seven weeks
to you know, prove what we belong and prove that
I can play a lot better.

Speaker 19 (01:34:40):
Cam is the hardest challenge for this coming game in
Chicago keeping Caleb Williams in the pocket? And is that
the toughest thing for a pass rusher knowing you want
to get sacks and you're judged by sacks, but that
this guy can probably hurt you more out on the
wing than he can if he's contained.

Speaker 4 (01:35:00):
Well, I think the hardest challenge first of all is
that running game. You know, it's it's top two in
the league right now with DeAndre Swift and the Nun guys. Uh,
they do a great job of just stay committed to
the run. A lot of these teams now, you you know,
you stop it full quarter and then they just go

(01:35:21):
away from it. You know, they are committed to it
throughout the entire game. And then with Caleb Williams, Uh,
he's very dynamic when he has the ball in his
hands and you know he's buying extra time. A lot
of those those plays he converts. It's extended, Uh, you know,
it's broken coverage. And if you don't have versatile guys

(01:35:44):
and guys that just keep rolling and rolling, He's gonna
wear a defense out and then just make big plays.
So I think as a pass Russ, you gotta you
gotta make sure you got your hunting hat on, because
it's not just gonna be the first shot, it's gonna
be multiple shots.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Defense came up huge against Flacker on the Bengals last week.
Second time you face him this year, but a much
different result, and particularly the defensive line seems to have
gotten things straightened out considerably. Contu Benton's been a big
part of that, I think, But what do you attribute
the sort of you know, I know you're saying you

(01:36:20):
wish you were playing better, but I think you would
agree the defensive line has had some better games as
of late. Why do you think that you guys are
getting better? What do you attribute it to?

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
I think it's one knowing our mistakes and growing from
our mistakes. You know, we have all the talent in
the world, I think in our d line room, but
you know it's about being consistent, playing and play out
and you saw earlier in this season where we had
some troubles with that, but I thought we've really improved
since then and that's the credit and a testament to
you know, Carl Dunbar and you know, guys taking the

(01:36:52):
coaching and guys going from it. You know, we laughing
kid all the time, but we're very open and honest
about what we specter our room. Whether it's stopping to run,
whether it's getting out the past, whether it's understanding that
you're not going to get home for a second, but
you guy to get your hands up to bat the
ball because it's gonna be a quick ball. These are
all things we talked about a weekend and week out

(01:37:14):
and it's a challenge, but you know, we look forward
to those.

Speaker 19 (01:37:18):
Cam when you guys were growing up, did Connor play
with you and your older friends and did you guys
beat the snot out of them?

Speaker 1 (01:37:26):
And did that.

Speaker 19 (01:37:27):
Perfectly prepare him to be the brotherly shove guy where
he just starves into the line and everybody jumps on him.

Speaker 4 (01:37:37):
He wasn't ready, but.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
I well.

Speaker 4 (01:37:47):
You got over the years delivered some blows too.

Speaker 1 (01:37:51):
Yeah, so we're getting choppy here. So hopefully this the
phone line will have Can I have Jacob call you
right back? Yeah, you'll I'm going to take them call
you right back because This connection kind of stinks, but
it'll give me an opportunity to let people know that
This week's wdv E bud Light Game Day Bar of
the Week is twelve Whiskey Barbecue on the South Side

(01:38:11):
this NFL season, stop in twelve Whiskey Barbecue. Grab three
fifty butt light bottles all day on Sunday's bud Light
is easy to drink and easy to enjoy. And where
are you going, drif Okay, Sunday's game of course one
o'clock with Rob King, Max Starks, and Missy Matthews on
the call for you here. That means our pregame starts

(01:38:32):
at nine am and Pursudo Labriel and du Lac crank
up the network at eleven am. All right, yeah, he'd
ask you about Cam the tush push and your brother. No,
we don't have it. He sure did, That is what happened. Okay,
Jacob has now coming here twelve Whiskey Barbie. Tell me

(01:38:53):
more about this bar that you guys go to part
of East Carson Street. Really right that if you want
the East Carson Street feeling well, you watch the Steeler game.

Speaker 3 (01:39:01):
They also have a nap room of the act. If
we're embarrassed by farting. I want more to especially after
a big meal. That's the thing to me that's better
than dessert.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
Feels like that something in Japan, like in the places
like after you sackey up, they're like, and now you
can go take a nap if you like. Okay, hopefully
the connection is better. Cam are you there? We got
you all right. Trevid just pursued asked you about your
brother and the preparation for him to become the helmer
of the toush push here.

Speaker 4 (01:39:31):
Yeah, I was, I was saying, growing up, I've never
let him play with my friends because he was not
beating up way too much. But when I would play
with him and his friends, I beat him all up
and prepared him the right way.

Speaker 21 (01:39:44):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:39:44):
Well, did you ever do that thing when you were
a kid, when you're beating up your brother where you
like hover over him with the spit and then like
stuck it back up before it like like falls.

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
No, no, no, that's nasty. We don't play around with
spite in my house.

Speaker 1 (01:39:58):
That's just wild. Probably not now either. Yeah, I know
that you. You had a real big issue with what
happened last week with Jamar Chase. Uh. And Ramsey, Uh,
you know, hard to fault him for what he did there.

Speaker 4 (01:40:11):
Cam, Yeah, you know when he told me that, at
first I was like, Jaileen, just got to calm down.
But then when he told me what had happened, I
was like, oh, you are right for what you're doing
because I probably would have been in the same boat.
And you know, I was trying to explain to the

(01:40:31):
rest I was getting more tired of trying to keep
Jalen from going and kill the guy on the field.
But it's it's rightful, rightfully, so you just don't do
that in our game. I don't care what is said.
You know, it's all about being competitive, but to take
it up a not to just not not going my.

Speaker 1 (01:40:51):
Books, Cam Heyward, Pittsburgh Steelers with us right now?

Speaker 19 (01:40:54):
Cam, I don't think anybody, uh well not very many
people at least tell that against Ramsey. Everybody gets what
happened and how he reacted. But what if it happens
in the AFC Championship game.

Speaker 4 (01:41:10):
I would like to think that spitting doesn't have an
AFC Championship game, but if it ends up happening, it happens.
Hopefully cooler heads prevailed, But you got to do what's
right for you. And we're never going to fallow the
player for you know, being disrespected, but we're gonna have
to hold down the FOD and we get to that point.

Speaker 1 (01:41:32):
What are your feelings on the tush push, By the way,
there's a lot of people who don't don't love that
that is still a legal play in the NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:41:40):
I don't love the false start nature of it. I
feel like, you know, there's queer examples where guys are
off sides or you know, they're moving before the ball
was even snapped, and it's hard for a ref to really,
you know, get a good look at that. You know.

(01:42:03):
I also think it's very hard where we've gotten to
a point where it's not the player pushing forward, it's
someone else. It's someone else like pushing them. So it's
no longer uh players player, it's player versus three guys

(01:42:23):
pushing them forward.

Speaker 1 (01:42:26):
I'm with you on that they can't officiate it. I mean,
that's the big problem. Yeah, they're constantly jumping off side,
but it seems like there's a ton of false starts
that are going in the NFL every week. I don't
understand how many times I'm watching a game and I
see a tackle jump and it never gets called.

Speaker 4 (01:42:43):
Yeah, it's it's my you know, mind blowing. I look
at this game and if a player jumps off side,
we're calling that as soon as he does. Yeah, but
then the letter of the law says we're supposed to
give a you know, a tackle a step to you know,
get off the ball. I think that's inconsistent, you know,

(01:43:06):
but that's just like the you know, the p I
rules and everything. It's it's all geared tours towards offense,
and you know, we just got to fight back.

Speaker 1 (01:43:15):
Did you see that clip of Chase Brown talking about
when you hit him so hard that you left an
indentation on his he had to pull his necklace out
of his neck.

Speaker 4 (01:43:24):
Yeah. My my older brother sent it to me yesterday
and I didn't get a chance to look at it
because my social media uh timer for the day was off.
So this is my first time really looking at this.

Speaker 1 (01:43:40):
Wait, so you you have a timer on how much
you allow yourself to look at social media every day?

Speaker 4 (01:43:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:43:46):
Brilliantly.

Speaker 9 (01:43:46):
Oh, I love that. Teach me.

Speaker 1 (01:43:48):
Yeah, how how many minutes do you allow yourself per day?

Speaker 4 (01:43:51):
I get thirty minutes between Twitter and Instagram, So oh
my goodness, it goes pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (01:43:57):
Man, that's got it. What do you feel like, like
withdrawal when when when that thirty minutes is up and
you're like, oh, I really want to open it again.

Speaker 4 (01:44:06):
Well, it's bad because sometimes I'm just reposting stuff for
the pod and whatever, and I'm like, oh, shoot, I'm
left with like three minutes, so we would make the
most out of these three minutes. And then I'll get clips.
I'll get clips from like my family, and I'm like, yeah,
I can't really look at that right now.

Speaker 1 (01:44:24):
Well, yeah, he said you hit him so hard that
his necklace was stuck in his neck and he had
to like have it yanked out of his skin because
it was embedded in his epidermis.

Speaker 4 (01:44:37):
I like to say I would apologize, but I'm not
really gonna apologize for that.

Speaker 20 (01:44:43):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:44:43):
I can't even imagine wearing like a necklace like that
during a game. If you're a guy who's gonna take
that match it. Do you don't wear any jewelry? Do you?

Speaker 4 (01:44:50):
No? I'm afraid I'm gonna get tied up where you know,
it's all gonna get twisted I'm gonna be choking, But no,
I don't. I don't play those games.

Speaker 1 (01:44:59):
Cam Hayward. This son day going to Chicago to face
the Bears. Aaron Rodgers. Has he vocalized anything in the
locker room about him being the Bears daddy and how
much he wants to play this game as a result
of that.

Speaker 4 (01:45:12):
Uh, he's been kind of quiet about it. You know.
I know he loves to talk like he's the patriarch
of the Bears organization, but no, he's just been lucked
in trying to get right.

Speaker 1 (01:45:24):
I know you were giving him his flowers this week.
What has your experience with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback ben
relative to what your expectations were going into the year.

Speaker 4 (01:45:37):
Well, when you find out your quarterbacks a big nickelbacks,
then there's a lot to speak about. He hates it
and I poke fun and try to get under his skin,
but no, it's it's it's been really fun to leave
with him. He challenges me. You know, we up day

(01:46:01):
in and day out, but it's it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:46:03):
Cam.

Speaker 3 (01:46:03):
Thanks for your time this morning, man, when we appreciate
it very much. Go get him on Sunday. I appreciate
you guys, all right, buddy, take care Cam Heyward. By
the way, we launched Cam's broadcasting career here.

Speaker 1 (01:46:13):
He was a as you know, a many year regular
guest here on the DV Morning Show before starting his
own podcast, which is where he saves all of his
excitement for Well, not that he wasn't thrilling there just now,
but I was echoing the Steve burn line.

Speaker 3 (01:46:27):
Yeah, he's only got thirty minutes on social media. By
the way, who's in the background laughing at his jokes?

Speaker 1 (01:46:32):
Did you notice that?

Speaker 9 (01:46:33):
Maybe it was Aaron Rodgers, because that was the big
thing with like, even Mason Rudolph this week he was
saying that he loves Mason Rudolf so much because he's
a ballbuster.

Speaker 1 (01:46:40):
Yeah, yeah, I think I think that. You know, the
comment that Cam made before Camp Lake, I'm not going
to no Darkness retreat. If you want to play for
the Steelers, get your ass here. Either you want to
be a Steeler or you don't. Yeah, I think that, Yeah,
that was I think a little bit taken out of context. Uh, well,
I think he was on where the deal was in place. Well,

(01:47:02):
I also don't think he was like I don't want
him here. That's the point I'm making, correct saying if
he wants to be here, And that's how people were
interpreting it. He was like, hey, I'm not trying to
talk you in to being a Steeler.

Speaker 19 (01:47:13):
He wanted him here, but he wanted him here. Now like,
if it's not that, make a call. That's the point
I'm making.

Speaker 1 (01:47:20):
Be thrilled to have you. But if you can't say today,
then then we move on and either have Christmas or
don't have Christmas. I'm using that excuse every time I'm late.

Speaker 4 (01:47:28):
It's now on.

Speaker 1 (01:47:29):
By the way, what I'm sorry, I'm late. I was
a Bible study.

Speaker 9 (01:47:34):
Yeah, who's getting mad at you for that?

Speaker 1 (01:47:36):
Criticizing for that?

Speaker 4 (01:47:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:47:39):
Is there something new in it? I mean it's an
old book, don't you know it by now? I did
love your conversation about Toush pushing.

Speaker 3 (01:47:46):
Yeah, yeah, well it just it was just so he
worked his way around it. I'm not a Toush pusher,
but yeah, I've.

Speaker 1 (01:47:54):
Been known to push the tush, but I don't push
the here. I mean everybody in college, you know, yeah,
the Black and Gold, Faith, Davy sports. Uh, just talk
foot problems, Mike Presuda with your Sports. I want to
point out though, Ian dag is live, yes, and he's

(01:48:18):
going to be at the Improv. A smattering of applause there. Uh,
there's some shows tonight, there's two tomorrow. Get your tickets
at improv dot com or call it four one, two,
four sixteen, good luck three three breach of best ever
in people. Yes for crying out loud, Mike, what's up? Sports?
Sub Brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 19 (01:48:38):
Aaron Rodgers official practice designation yesterday was limited after practice
left tackle Broderick Jones let it be known he's anticipating
Mason Rudolph will start a quarterback on Sunday in Chicago.
But of course that was yesterday, and as even Broaderick
Jones as well aware, Sunday is another day.

Speaker 8 (01:48:55):
Well, he brings that fire about him, you know, and
everybody has the back, so it's just got to go
out and do.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
It through this plant. Sunday cool too.

Speaker 8 (01:49:05):
That is Actually I don't know, so we shall see.
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 19 (01:49:13):
Yeah, today could totally change things. Hey, Sunday could totally
change things what about Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:49:19):
No, nothing will happen on Saturday, all right, just kidding.

Speaker 19 (01:49:22):
It's conceivable Mike Tomlin will talk to the media today
after practice and say, hey, it's a game time decision.

Speaker 1 (01:49:27):
I did.

Speaker 19 (01:49:30):
They are kind of similar quarterbacks. It's not like one
of them's Lamar Jackson and the other one's forty one
years old, right, so the offense will be relatively the same.
I just think Rogers could use a blow here, me too.
Just take one off and according to Pete Leep, never mind.

(01:49:50):
What I'm saying is Mason Rudolph is perfectly capable of
winning this game. And if you believe you need Rogers
down the stretch, give that risk another week to heal.

Speaker 1 (01:50:01):
Yactly, it's not just the risk.

Speaker 19 (01:50:04):
Matt Williamson made this point last night on the previous show.
We do every Thursday. He's gonna be forty two on
December second. I bet there are a lot of body
parts that would be very appreciative of having a Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:50:16):
He should be limited every week just because of his age.
For practices.

Speaker 4 (01:50:22):
Whoever ends up.

Speaker 19 (01:50:23):
Throwing against the Bears, we'll have throwing to tight end.
Darnel Washington is an option wide receiver DK metcalf a
big fan of what happened. When that happened last Sunday
against Cincinnati.

Speaker 23 (01:50:34):
I'm standing there watching him, like, what is big ass
about to do?

Speaker 4 (01:50:37):
Now? Oh?

Speaker 23 (01:50:38):
They go one person flying, Oh there's another on. Let
me start him running. But whenever the ball is in
his hands, you know, anything could happen. I know the
DBAs have a business decision to make or the defense
has a business seasion to make. It they're going to
tackle them more. Lets just fall and fall down and
jump on his back or whatever. So and I'll let
them worry about that.

Speaker 1 (01:50:56):
When DJ Turner goes up to him and tries to
punch the ball out and he knocked him five yards
back in the air, it looked like he was out
of a movie.

Speaker 19 (01:51:04):
Funny Geno Stone God blessed Newcastle's finest.

Speaker 1 (01:51:08):
That was fine.

Speaker 19 (01:51:09):
A business decision tackle, a tackle attempt, yes, as you know,
kind of took an angle and.

Speaker 1 (01:51:16):
Then all of a sudden he was a little bit
to the left and a little behind. Oh I missed him.
Did you see where Washington gave his correct height in
a podcast recently, he said, I'm sorry height. Wait, nobody
knows how tall you are, no, because he's listed at
two sixty four. Yeah, not even close. He's three eleven.

(01:51:37):
No way, he's three hundred and eleven pounds. Somebody nurse
to learn how to edit us. It's on our computer.
That's a tight end.

Speaker 19 (01:51:43):
Yeah, we knew he was three hundred north of three hundred,
but he put the exact three eleven on it.

Speaker 4 (01:51:47):
Ye.

Speaker 19 (01:51:47):
By the way, a podcast with alman Ron Saint Bron,
who's the guy for Detroit.

Speaker 1 (01:51:53):
I'm on Saint Brown. Yeah, yeah, one current active NFL
play doing a podcast with another Kurt NFL player, and
those two teams are going to play later this year.
It happens all the time though, Yeah, I mean that's
just where we are, Like, yeah, that's where we are. Hey,
how's it going? The play the players have been elevated

(01:52:18):
about like people root for players, not teams a lot
of times now not to really appreciate that. Now, I
know you want more of the Jack Lambert philosophy of
at least give me the perception. Bob Gibson not talking
to anybody in the All Star dugout.

Speaker 19 (01:52:34):
I know they're all the same union and they all
have the same agent, but just the in season can
you not? Can Bryan Clark not go into Ravens locker
room and hug everybody?

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
That one drove me crazy. It's football, not politics. Everybody
gets a lug.

Speaker 4 (01:52:48):
No, they do not.

Speaker 1 (01:52:49):
But especially between the Browns or the Bengals rather and
the Steelers. Well Ben talked about that on his podcast,
like the difference between the rivalry with the Bengals and
the rivalry with other AFC North teams where there's respect
and you would maybe go on their podcasts, but there's
never any love loss with Steelers Bengals football. I'm talking

(01:53:11):
to both, I'm talking to everybody. Just shove up and
play football.

Speaker 24 (01:53:14):
That's how this game, that's how Pittsburgh Steelers play is
you shut up, you play the game, and you go
to work and you beat that dude down. Troy Palmat
used to pound somebody, help him back up and do
it again. Ray Low showny times, Ray lushus to help
me up. But hey, y'all, fella, I'm about to get
you again. That's respect. You know what I'm saying. We
don't need that. That extra stuff is unnecessary. And listen,
I'm not trying to say this, students, is anything wrong.

(01:53:35):
I'm just saying that that rivalry between those two. I

Now, I gotta tell you you look great, my friend,
that you look healthy. I had a panic attack on Monday, okay,
So is that an out of the norm for you.
Some people have panic attacks like twenty okay.

Speaker 3 (01:58:20):
And then I dealt with it. And then I had
I had one where I ran out of the hotel.
I missed a flight, and I don't care ever, I'm
I'm a very mellow person. I'm just like, there's another
there's another flight coming on. Like I very I flip
out in traffic rarely. I love to tease people in
traffic and make them think I'm flipped out. Things don't
bother me that much. And for whatever reason, I was like,

(01:58:42):
I shook that I missed a flight. And it was
not like I missed it by a couple of minutes.
I was an hour and a half late for the flight,
and I was like, I got to get to the airport.

Speaker 1 (01:58:50):
They're gonna turn it around for me. They're gonna come
back and get me. So it just you were just
out of sorts to the to the extent that reality
wasn't even saying it. It wasn't even So that's your
body just telling you like, hey, buddy, the downshift right,
slow down? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:59:05):
So so yeah. So I ended up in the hospital
for a couple of hours and checked my heart.

Speaker 1 (01:59:09):
La did you feel dumb when they're like, you're fine?

Speaker 3 (01:59:12):
Yeah, I made a video there. Did you really trying
to sell tickets in her Mosa Beach?

Speaker 9 (01:59:18):
I'm dying.

Speaker 1 (01:59:20):
This could be your last chance. Look around me.

Speaker 3 (01:59:23):
And then it concern me even more because I took
a flight later that day and I still had three
patches with the metal thing that the prodes on, and
I got through security no problem.

Speaker 1 (01:59:30):
That's hilarious. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:59:31):
I got home.

Speaker 1 (01:59:32):
My wife's like, where were you this morning? Taking them off?
You know nowhere?

Speaker 3 (01:59:39):
I love I love I love about my wife is
she's never picked up the phone, right, never. And while
I was going through this and I was going to
the hospital, I thought i'd leave her a message because
it's four am, still in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (01:59:51):
Didn't think she'd ever picked up.

Speaker 3 (01:59:52):
She picked up for the first time ever, and I'm like, huh,
And she's hearing all these beats.

Speaker 1 (01:59:56):
What are you doing? I'm going at the hospitals.

Speaker 3 (01:59:58):
Yeah, I'm just like, can you just actually just leave
it so it goes to the message and you'd wake
it up later in hear it and when I'm fine.

Speaker 1 (02:00:04):
I had. I was driving with my dad in the
middle of nowhere one time down in Florida. We were
doing a bunch of spring training games. We still always
got on the spring together, and all of a sudden,
my breathing got weird and I couldn't like, I'm like,
I can't regulate my breath. I don't know what's going on.
I'm like, I can't regulate, like I was thinking about
it too much. And then I'm thinking about my breath
and it was like, you know, a mild like panic

(02:00:26):
attack thing. But there's no reason. It just kind of
popped up. And my dad had the best advice in
the world. He goes, you have trouble breathing. Yeah, he goes,
have a smoke, and.

Speaker 3 (02:00:36):
So so I fire it up a Marlboro light and
We're going over the Sunshine Skyway bridge there and I'm
like having it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:43):
I'm like, actually, i think you're right. I think this
is helping and uh, and then it didn't go away
later and then I asked somebody to like, it's it's
probably a panic attack just to do this that and
the other thing that happened. I was like twenty seven, yeah,
and do you have a lot of stress going on?

Speaker 16 (02:00:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:00:56):
Yeah, yeah, No. I literally had started this job like
four or five months before that, and uh. And then
I was just like, I don't know why everything's going
and I didn't realize like, oh, well, there's a lot
of pressure and his stress and it was just kind
of coming out that way that in the middle of
the nowhere, the middle of nowhere, while I was driving,
I just was like, why can't I It's just not
coming you know. But I wasn't like.

Speaker 4 (02:01:18):
Right right.

Speaker 1 (02:01:19):
It was just like I couldn't regulate my breathing and
the cigarette worked.

Speaker 9 (02:01:23):
So just a cigarette is because you were breathing regularly,
you were taking deep inhales.

Speaker 1 (02:01:28):
The actors back in the seventies knew that cigarettes helped him.
Five doctors recommend chester Fields exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:01:37):
I was.

Speaker 3 (02:01:37):
I was probably had about six weeks of clenching in
my jaw beforehand, okay, And it all came about so
you're not a teeth grinder at night. You don't grind
your teeth when I'm stressed. Yeah, so you have a mouthguard?
Do have a what's his name? Oh, Darryl? Anyway, I

(02:01:58):
just it all came together, just a couple of things,
a couple life things happen and spun me out.

Speaker 1 (02:02:03):
But it was I feel I feel good, Like I said, yeah,
you know earlier, there's no shame in it. It's literally
your body going warning sign.

Speaker 10 (02:02:11):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:02:11):
Our our friend Billy Gardell, he's ignoring all the signs
his body was giving him.

Speaker 27 (02:02:15):
And he's in a fib with one hundred and seventy
six resting heart rate and was about to get on
a plane to go to Los Angeles and his wife
made him not go to the airport and go to
the hospital instead.

Speaker 4 (02:02:26):
Good.

Speaker 1 (02:02:26):
Why do why do guys think it's a badger courage
to ignore their body telling them.

Speaker 3 (02:02:32):
Also, you're gonna die if you don't stop doing this. Yeah,
and it's more manly to live, right. There's a lot
more going on here. I think I got every person
that I've talked to about having the bad panic attacks
where basically and also it does that TV thing where
you're kind of going.

Speaker 1 (02:02:49):
Did you get the champagne on the brain, like Tony
Soprano talks about fun, Yeah, that's really fun.

Speaker 3 (02:02:53):
I didn't even think about that. But everybody says, everybody says,
I guess this is it. Like we all say that
this isn't a kind of expected more.

Speaker 1 (02:03:02):
Like you thought it was gonna be like, oh, you mean,
like you're dying and you thought. I think about all
the time, like at the moment of death where people
are like bleeding out and they're like it doesn't even
hurt that much, and you're like, I'm kind of tired,
and then you just go to sleep, and like, because
I'm watching that Ken Burns documentary and everyone's dying horrible
deaths from like you know, big you know, balls of

(02:03:25):
lead going through their lungs and stuff like that in
the Revolutionary War, and you know there'll be someone like
retelling an account of it. And like he laid there
and said, I just need to get advantaged up and
I'll be back in the fight soon, and then he
closes eyes and never uttered another word. Die in Hempfield, Springfield, Massachusetts.
I love they always want to get back in the fight. Yeah,

(02:03:47):
does wrap me up? Get me a burger.

Speaker 28 (02:03:51):
I'd be like, I don't even like this place. I've evacuated.

Speaker 3 (02:04:03):
I've always liked a North and a South.

Speaker 1 (02:04:10):
I'm just passing through. But now I'm glad you're okay.
But that's why I said you look healthy. Maybe you
dropped a little a few pounds because of the stress.

Speaker 3 (02:04:18):
I've been I've been also been losing trying to I
I'm trying to zempic uh a zeptide.

Speaker 1 (02:04:26):
Zepatide is the name of it, but it's a g
LP Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:04:32):
Yeah, yeah, so I started that three months ago, and yeah,
it's I just needed help. I was like I said,
I was just that I was a lot going on
and I was just, you know, food is my addiction.

Speaker 1 (02:04:42):
Oh do you have? Like the is that because you're
not a huge boozer. You'll have some years and stuff,
but you're not a I'm not good at recovering.

Speaker 3 (02:04:49):
So I I chose stand up as my addiction over
alcohol or whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:04:53):
You were.

Speaker 3 (02:04:53):
So, so now I work the time, but I I'm
a grazer. I could eat from morning until night, and
with this it it just doesn't make me want to eat,
you know.

Speaker 1 (02:05:02):
So yeah, yeah, what are those dress called that geopo
p ones. That's for your period.

Speaker 3 (02:05:09):
Anyway, by the way, I had I know there's a
lot of them all talking about tampons and stuff is hacky,
but I actually had to buy something the other day.
First of all, they were locked up and I had
to talk to somebody and then pay for them to
get them out. I'm like, what's going on here? How
do they pick the numbers they come in? They come

(02:05:31):
in numbers, yeah, like thirty six of them, like id
I'm like, oh.

Speaker 9 (02:05:35):
The quantity, yeah, understood.

Speaker 1 (02:05:36):
Doesn't make sense to me.

Speaker 3 (02:05:37):
I'm like, plan this out and get a gross of
tampons A Baker's thirteen thirteen free. Yeah, that's right to
shit coming at like like a different color. Thirteenth one
is blue when you order more.

Speaker 17 (02:05:54):
Yeah yeah, never evens up with the number of hot
dog buttons.

Speaker 1 (02:05:57):
So then you're screwe that's supposed to be one h
right right? Yes? Anyways, Well, Ian, I'm look fantastic. Well
I'm trying for you, you know, for me, because I'm
living for you. I knew you were coming in today
and are you gonna come and see a show? Well,

we're doing the last Waltz tomorrow at here. That's fantastic,
it is, And it's not the last time we've We've
done it, the first time we've done it, but it
might be the last time. It might be the last. Yeah,
the tribute to the legendary nineteen seventy six contract, which
is on the last holdout. Well, I just we've done

(02:06:47):
a lot thea get texts of that. Get take us bag. No, well,
we're just about sold out, so people should go see Yeah,

more people this weekend? Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right. Well,
that new improv is huge.

Speaker 3 (02:07:07):
It's mass I did one in California not too long ago,
six hundred seats.

Speaker 1 (02:07:12):
I did five shows. I'm like, that's amazing. I'm like,
that's not a club anymore, that's a that's a theater.

Speaker 3 (02:07:19):
And what I have to do. I'm like, we could
have done one big theater on one night. That's what
we could have done, and I could have sold the
same amount of tickets and we still would have had
some empty seats.

Speaker 1 (02:07:27):
That would have been perfect. Well have you ever done
the one in Schomberg? Yes, I do, well there. I
went to see Shawn's dad, Geene Collier open up for
Billy Gardell there one time, and it was cavernous. I
could not believe how big that place. It used to
be an ice rink and they made it into a club.
It's not a club. I mean, it's like I thought
you were doing a bit. It was an ice rink

(02:07:49):
and they turned it into a turn.

Speaker 3 (02:07:51):
Comedy nightclub and then they turned it into a comedy club.

Speaker 1 (02:07:54):
Yeah, it's you know, and it's just far enough outside
of Chicago to be a pain in the ass to
drive to.

Speaker 3 (02:07:58):
It's really funny that they call it the Chicago I know,
because it's not nowhere.

Speaker 1 (02:08:02):
It would be like something in like Washington, PA.

Speaker 3 (02:08:07):
And being like, yeah, Pittsburgh Improv not really even the
Pittsburgh Improv is not in Pittsburgh. Well it's Homestead, yeah,
but still you have to get on that that highway
that's always busy. It doesn't matter what. And people do
not like to let you merge, It's very hard to
get in. We're not emerge friendly people. Adam's got a

started it, it wasn't a media I have fantastic You're
an Internet sensation. Let's face it.

and lo with somebody each started the Kim Kardashian David

Speaker 3 (02:10:32):
Now I've got Gordon Lightfoot in your head. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's why I sang 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 1 (02:10:41):
Well, let me tell you something. That song is just
it took my life over for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 29 (02:10:46):
Uh, during the it's like it does make September, it's
look towards in November.

Speaker 25 (02:10:57):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:10:58):
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 writer for Norm's sports
show that was on Comedy Central, and at the after
party for their season finale, which you know, l a time.

(02:11:21):
It was three am. They called us at like six
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 4 (02:11:35):
Do you want to tell me?

Speaker 2 (02:11:37):
Yeah, I said, go singing Maggie May from It's God.

Speaker 1 (02:11:45):
Okay, here we go, Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen.
Canadian singer songwriter Gordon Lightfoot singing Maggie May by Rod Stewart.

Speaker 20 (02:11:53):
Wake up Mage. It's late Tember and a reader should
be back at school. So I keep you AMUMV and
you oh couldn't.

Speaker 1 (02:12:19):
I mean, it's such a norm thing.

Speaker 4 (02:12:21):
I think.

Speaker 1 (02:12:21):
I think that's how we live. W W g D.
What would Gordon do? I would Gordon respond? You know,
we're going to a little more change. You know the
song Sundown. You know what that's about. Yeah, yeah, well
it is. But you know who the woman is the subject? No,

(02:12:46):
her name is Kathy Smith. She was his longtime partner,
and she was also the woman who was arrested for
giving John Belushi the least. Wow, you did some research? Well,
I know a lot about stuff that does not matter. Ian.
So had they broken up when she was with John Belucia? No,
that's why he wrote the song you Cheating. No, they

(02:13:08):
were broken up at that point.

Speaker 3 (02:13:09):
Okay, cheating you kill John heard the Wreck of Eldwood Blues. Goodness,
I think he's actually Jake. Have you have you watched
the John Candy documentary.

Speaker 1 (02:13:26):
I did, and I mean I'm interested in your thoughts
on it, because I have thoughts on it. Okay, I
cried so much, that's my thought.

Speaker 4 (02:13:33):
Sad.

Speaker 3 (02:13:34):
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,
it's not funny games anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:13:44):
It is interesting to remember how much his weight was
a punchline in everything that he did in movies, not
so much se TV now, like the se TV stuff,
they very rarely made any joke around his weight. Yeah,
but in I mean Stripes, that scene where he has

(02:14:07):
to do the mud wrestling but.

Speaker 3 (02:14:08):
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 1 (02:14:16):
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

(02:14:37):
like not so much about all of the pathos and
all of the trauma that he had that.

Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:14:51):
Yeah, so they did. That's why they went the other way.

Speaker 3 (02:14:53):
If you ever want to interview his son, I know
his son, Oh yeah, I would love that. Yeah, I'll
put you together with him. He's Chris is a really
good and really interesting interview.

Speaker 1 (02:15:01):
You can google Catherine O'Hara's eulogy at his funeral. It's
it's incredible. But what dan Ackroyd did at the beginning
of that documentary was, first of all, it was such
as I was listening to him like there's only one
dan Ackroyd because all of those words are so Acroydian,

(02:15:24):
the way he describes John Candy, and when he talked
about him being a proud Canadian. That part I loved that, Like,
you know.

Speaker 3 (02:15:32):
What Dan dan Ackroyd is, Uh? Why am I blanking
on the name of the band?

Speaker 4 (02:15:39):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:15:40):
He just died downy going downy Oh, tragically tragically hip.
He's the comedy tragically Hip, Like he couldn't be more Canadian.

Speaker 1 (02:15:49):
Right, that's interesting, right, so uh but yeah I did.

Speaker 3 (02:15:52):
I was blown away by something that I learned from,
not from Crisp, but from some with somebody else, that
thing that he does with h in Home Alone where
he does the stuff in Home Alone.

Speaker 1 (02:16:03):
Oh, that was where he just he's, uh, the Polko guy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:16:08):
So he gave them a day and they gave him
points in the movie and he like, he didn't deal kidding.
And apparently that's the most money he ever made because
he made so much money off that movie.

Speaker 17 (02:16:21):
Remember when you dropped by last Tuesday, here's fifteen million.

Speaker 1 (02:16:24):
Yeah, basically, yeah, that's why.

Speaker 3 (02:16:25):
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 (02:16:30):
Yeah, because he was making so much from the points
on Home Alone. Oh wow, that's so interesting. Yeah, because
they don't say that in the documentary.

Speaker 3 (02:16:38):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:16:44):
That they vacation, their families vacation together.

Speaker 3 (02:16:46):
And talking about how many movies he had been in
for John Hughes.

Speaker 1 (02:16:51):
Like a lot. Yeah, home alone, Uncle Buck, Planes Trains
and Automobiles. But Planes, Trains and Automobiles is his masterpiece.

Speaker 3 (02:16:59):
Uncle, when he waves goodbye at the end, you break down. Well,
that's my Thanksgiving movie. I don't know about you, guys.

Speaker 17 (02:17:05):
None of us have ever seen the masterpiece scene in Planes,
Trains and Automobiles that Steve Martin talks about and 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,

(02:17:26):
the footage has never been found because the first cut
of Planes, Trains, 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. Yeah, it's got to be someplace.

(02:17:48):
It's got to be. It's got to be someplace.

Speaker 1 (02:17:50):
I don't know. It's probably in the John Hughes estate. Yeah, exactly,
that's where they found.

Speaker 17 (02:17:55):
So they did a big re release where you can
watch about an hour of stuff that was cut out
because they found a VHS at John Hughes's house with
that on it, but they.

Speaker 3 (02:18:04):
Didn't have I wonder if John Candy took it, like
I need that that candy, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (02:18:11):
Yeah, possibly that's on Amazon Prime if you want to
check it out. It's 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 made it made me too.
Took me to watch me too. Yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:18:29):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:18:37):
That's probably why I like the Eddie Murphy want so.

Speaker 17 (02:18:39):
Much and I'm and I didn't, So now I feel
like I'm gonna like the John Candy So you want.

Speaker 1 (02:18:42):
To know the darkness behind Eddie that was his brother
m hm. Yes, Charlie Bro's They talk about Charlie a lot.
I missed Charlie him Charlie. Yeah, no, are you wanted
you wanted to know more?

Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
I agree, like I watched documentaries to find out stuff
you don't know.

Speaker 17 (02:19:04):
I wanted to walk out feeling like, oh, I think
I get him a little bit now. And those two
ever do a movie together?

Speaker 1 (02:19:09):
Were they in? Eddie Murphy and John Candy? Did they
do not Best Defense? No, they never did a movie together.

Speaker 3 (02:19:15):
You know what was growing up for them to be
in together? Ghostbuster Ghostbusters? Yeah, Eddie Murphy and John Candy.

Speaker 17 (02:19:21):
Eddie Murphy, they say they wrote the Winston Senemore World,
the Internet hudsonroll for Eddie Murphy and John Canny was
the first person offered Lewis Tully the Rick Miranda's role,
but he wanted to do it with a strong German
accent and for German shepherds, and negotiations broke down.

Speaker 1 (02:19:38):
But Rick Moranis was great, It's perfect. Rick Moranis steals
the movie. Best person in the movie.

Speaker 4 (02:19:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:19:44):
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 a little bit more of a peace.

Speaker 3 (02:20:03):
You can't be You can't be in charge of a documentary, right, yeah, yeah,
you gotta let somebody else do it and then give up.

Speaker 1 (02:20:10):
I Stallone's was the same way. Stallone was in charge
of his own documentary, and it didn't as soon as
he started talking about having something I don't really talk
about my dad anymore, you know, you'd be like, no,
that's the interesting stuff, and then he would be like,
aways uh, I did the stop in my mum will shoo.

Speaker 3 (02:20:25):
Nobody cares about this. 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 (02:20:43):
Which is where they moved to? Yeah, yeah, I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (02:20:46):
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 1 (02:20:52):
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. Yeah, and that's they were
able to get away with that budget because it was
somewhere where it didn't cost money to do anything. Here's
what I loved. He was mad. He always thought he
was kind of getting screwed on money, John Candy. Yeah,

(02:21:13):
and that is such a comedian thing. That is, oh yeah,
such a comedian thing.

Speaker 3 (02:21:19):
The best of the best of the best always feel like, hey, what's.

Speaker 1 (02:21:24):
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. 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. Yeah, yeah,
it's so funny. Thankful you're not like that. No, I

(02:21:44):
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. These shows.

Speaker 3 (02:21:56):
There's also a Costco close by. Sure to push that
even to do a little bit of shopping. Say you
got to get a one hundred protein drinks at once? Yeah,
and there's a PF.

Speaker 1 (02:22:05):
Chang's there, should you want to get all Frank Chang.
I didn't know that. I don't know Peter Fredericks. Those
are not the first names I would have associated with
the last name Chang.

Speaker 3 (02:22:22):
I love it, I love I love when you meet
a wing and it's a white guy or something like that.

Speaker 1 (02:22:28):
Okay, Sean Collier, I need you to do a two
minute review of Wicked for the people who are waiting
for it.

Speaker 17 (02:22:36):
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. H This one I
think is better than the first because it has an ending.

(02:22:59):
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

(02:23:22):
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 britt Bethany Weaver. Yeah, despite the fact that she

(02:23:44):
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 you're it's suggesting that
it was always Alphabe's story, it was really about the

(02:24:04):
Wicked Witch 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. What a
much Ryan Mike. They show her feet, they do the
other Quentin Tarantino. Toto's face is present. Toto is a

(02:24:28):
bigger star that there's a result of this film.

Speaker 1 (02:24:31):
We all make choices.

Speaker 17 (02:24:32):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:24:44):
The same story required a.

Speaker 17 (02:24:46):
Combined two hundred and ninety seven minutes over two films.

Speaker 9 (02:24:49):
It is so crazy to me, I wonderful those actors cry.

Speaker 1 (02:24:52):
Oh my god, I can't I cannot take the press,
uh run for this movie. The these two are the
most fragile people I have ever encountered.

Speaker 17 (02:25:03):
I'm happy that you're happy. But we've made musicals before.
It's that they made Chicago. Richard Geer and Modelwager won't
weeping and talking about it.

Speaker 1 (02:25:13):
They worshiped each other. They're crying. 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 30 (02:25:23):
Women hugging and crying. Well, that's that's my jam. 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 (02:25:37):
Is that?

Speaker 9 (02:25:40):
Show me what it? Show me what it looks like?
It probably sounds like a xylophone because.

Speaker 17 (02:25:51):
What's that early Disney short with the skeletons dancing? That's
the sextime?

Speaker 4 (02:25:56):
Go ahead? Wait?

Speaker 1 (02:25:57):
Wait, what's the other one?

Speaker 4 (02:25:58):
You have here?

Speaker 17 (02:25:59):
Train dream Well, I'll I'll say one of the best
films of the year. Joel Edgerton plays a sad guy
wandering I'll.

Speaker 1 (02:26:04):
Say, is one of the best films of the year.
It's so much time, good luck. It's this one's for me.

Speaker 17 (02:26:10):
It's a sad man wandering around breathtaking landscapes in the
olden times.

Speaker 1 (02:26:13):
This is for me.

Speaker 17 (02:26:15):
Maybe you two Joel Edgerton, William May Pacific Northwest Dad's movie.
It is Yeah, Felicity 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
need to focus in It's a long slow thing yonder
Bag for Home fantastic. Loved this movie. Underbag sounds dirty,

(02:26:38):
doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (02:26:39):
Uh? Ok?

Speaker 17 (02:26:41):
And what's your retro peck Edward Scissorhands, a movie where
Johnny Depp plays a goth up living doll with knives
for fingers and somehow ends up way more sympathetic than
Johnny Depp in real life.

Speaker 1 (02:26:52):
That's the Rangos Giant Cinema Tonight only all right, We've
got the buzz posts in a coffee house for you, Mike, join.

Speaker 13 (02:26:57):

Speaker 9 (02:27:08):
Here's the dv E weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:27:13):
That Ian Bag's been hanging out with us this morning.
He's at the improm Yeah, go see him this weekend.
And Mike Pursuit has got your sports now getting ready
for a big game MIC.

Speaker 19 (02:27:21):
Pretty revealing game. I think we're at that point. It's
time to stand up and be counted or reveal who
you are, not.

Speaker 9 (02:27:28):
Well what you want ubout to receive.

Speaker 1 (02:27:31):
Sports as I brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 19 (02:27:34):
After Aaron Rodgers turned up limited in practice on Thursday,
left tackle Broderick Jones suspected Mason Rudolph would be the
guy at quarterback on Sunday in Chicago. Jones is more
than prepared to roll with Rudolph, but also well aware
the situation is subject to change.

Speaker 8 (02:27:50):
He brings that fire about him, you know, and everybody
has his back, so it's just got to go out
into an imports plants sunny too. That is actually I
don't know, so we shall see. 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 19 (02:28:07):
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 Rudeolph. They're playing Sunday,
it might yet be Rogers.

Speaker 1 (02:28:18):
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 19 (02:28:29):
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.
Here's defensive coordinator Terrell Austin.

Speaker 1 (02:28:43):
This guy's he's an escape artist.

Speaker 31 (02:28:46):
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 ball out down
the field. If you give him a wide open lane,
he can take it and run it. And he is
he's dynamic, just you know, a young player on the rise,
and so we are. We're gonna have to do a
great job of plaster. We're gonna have to really do

(02:29:06):
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 19 (02:29:16):
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,

(02:29:36):
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

(02:29:58):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:30:07):
Now you got a problem. Well, and it seems though
defensively 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 19 (02:30:19):
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 (02:30:31):
Buffalo has that, Baltimore has that.

Speaker 19 (02:30:34):
When they went about retooling the defense in the offseason,
they did it with this type of offense in mind.

Speaker 1 (02:30:40):
We have to be able to stop this.

Speaker 19 (02:30:41):
We got to be able to stop the run and
contain these qbs who are nightmares when they start running
around back there. Tara Austin was asked about that yesterday.
He said, we'll see how far we've come. Oh man,
So we'll see that. You know, assuming the Steelers are
competent on offense and don't turn it over, which I
think is a fair assumption, that's what's going to decide

(02:31:03):
the game.

Speaker 1 (02:31:03):
What do you think the corner lineup is going to
look like.

Speaker 19 (02:31:05):
I think Darius Slay is going to start, and I
think James Pierre is going to play more snaps.

Speaker 1 (02:31:11):
How's Eccles injury? Nickel? But he's he's not even on
the list. Not okay, good, Yeah, he's fine.

Speaker 19 (02:31:21):
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 (02:31:40):
Bills are seven and four.

Speaker 19 (02:31:41):
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. You're going
to go to the playoffs if you're the Steeler.

Speaker 4 (02:32:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:32:02):
Pen's back in action tonight.

Speaker 19 (02:32:04):
They host the Minnesota wild at seven o'clock, and they
host Seattle tomorrow night down at PPG Paints Arena, their
first action since the Sweden trip. College basketball last night,
pittfalls at UCF seventy seven to sixty seven.

Speaker 1 (02:32:20):
Panthers are four and two.

Speaker 19 (02:32:21):
Robert Morris loses at Saint Bonaventure seventy five to sixty one.

Speaker 1 (02:32:25):
Colonials are three and two. Our buddy I 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 not eating
as much because of those meds. Do you know the
original endorser of Ozempik was Billy ardell Is that when
he did those little running things, Yes, that was because

(02:32:47):
Ozepic wasn't being seen as a weight loss drug so
much then as it was like about combating diabetes. Oh
and that's why he was doing it on I'm on,
I don't know what it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:57):
Is, but it's really if you're investing me, student'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. Yeah, I've heard

(02:33:18):
that that's that's the next step for these things because
it takes away cravings.

Speaker 1 (02:33:22):
I've heard that. I think what's gonna 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 the 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

(02:33:46):
in humans 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? Yeah,
well you don't have to wait till the aliens come
down and jump in a cocoon.

Speaker 3 (02:34:03):
Yeah, you just have to shroom your face off. But
when are we going to get bbl's for everybody? We
all need a Brazilian button.

Speaker 4 (02:34:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:34:10):
You can't live forever and have them.

Speaker 1 (02:34:14):
Sit down at some point.

Speaker 17 (02:34:15):
Yeah, one hundred and fifteen years old, skinny, happy hide bus,
sweet ass as ye.

No, not in Pittsburg, but I'd be very careful about
that were it on the plane with a dummy jersey
on top of it, so if you spill anything.

Speaker 1 (02:35:29):
The actual jerseys are very paranoid.

your PGH.

Speaker 1 (02:45:14):
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. That's the offense, prep

(02:45:37):
for a test.

Speaker 19 (02:45:37):
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 better experience in Chicago than the protesters have

(02:46:00):
during the nineteen sixty eight Democratic National Convention.

Speaker 1 (02:46:04):
Google it, that's happened once.

Speaker 19 (02:46:07):
In thirteen previous Pittsburgh trips to the Windy City, the
Steelers traditional 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 seemed to leave the Steelers singing the
Blues Brother one way or another. They always wind up

(02:46:28):
in deep dish, So what's different this time? 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 from five

(02:46:50):
to twelve to relevant has even the Navy peering to seers,
if the Bears can tower above the NFC, are you
ready for some football? Yeah, Pittsburgh toal waiver for the
world turnover maker, stacker of QBS player with tight ends
and the NFL's Lombardi collector, rushing, passing, blitzing city of

(02:47:14):
the Big Mount Washington, laughing even as an ignorant opponent, laughs,
who has won seven of ten battles, bragging and laughing
that under the fractured wrist.

Speaker 1 (02:47:23):
Is the pulse and under the ribs the heart of
Steeler Nation. If they stick one between your uprights, you
stick one of their legs, because that's the Chicago way.
What are you prevent to do.

Speaker 4 (02:47:39):
Here?

Speaker 1 (02:47:40):
And the lesson, oh man, since it like Chicago theme running,
that might have been the best one.

Speaker 19 (02:47:51):
Yet the Bailers are going to win this game twenty
five or sixty.

Speaker 1 (02:47:56):
Four, you know, Jim for ever to realize that it
was twenty five or six two four? 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? Mine clearly
got here already. Yeah. In the he's like, oh, it's

(02:48:17):
twenty five or six to four, like twenty six minutes
or twenty five or twenty six minutes to four. I
never knew. That's crazy. Yeah, that's way better than six seven.
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. Yeah, yeah, it's you don't have to figure
it out, just let the young be. I'm happy not knowing.

(02:48:39):
How about seven eight is? In nineteen seventy eight the
Bull Here we go, let's get it over a kick.

Speaker 23 (02:48:49):

Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought to you by Independence
Health System Expert Care here and Steelers Pro Shop.

Get it direct from the team at shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 14 (02:51:17):
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 left wrist injury. 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

(02:51:39):
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 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

(02:52:00):
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 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.

(02:52:23):
I'm Tom Opraman with the Steelers Report.
