Burg and iHeartRadio station guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Human gets a snap, gives to Mark, stretch played to
the right, cuts back to the left end Marks is
able to burst through and get into the end zone
for a Texan score. Slams the football against the far
side of the stands, and nineteen carries one hundred and
(00:28):
twelve yards, a career high for Woody March.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And that touchdown is pretty much going to end this one.
I can't even make fun of Woody Marks his name
right now because he kicked our ass so much last
night the Steelers. He they had a cool drone show
at halftime. You know there's that. Yeah, you sent that
to me. That was that was cool. Yeah, what did
the drones do? Waved the white flag, it said fire
(00:55):
Tomlin really big. Yeah, that'll be the next thing that happened.
And we got to go fund me together. We're gonna
have a drone show during the draft that says fire
tom One. I don't think that that's what's gonna happen
right now. I think that this is up to coach Tomlin.
I don't see the organization firing, but let's just say
(01:18):
they did, and then the Steelers could hire John Harbaugh,
and then the Ravens could hire Tomlin, and then the
Browns would rehire Stefanski bring them back. We decided you
passed the test. Kasloman is like I walked past the
homeless guy. He said I should rehire him, So I did.
Did you sell your house? Not yet.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
We're getting it right. We're doing some staging photos. We'll
pull the listing. You're coming back, buddy, but it looks
like it might all be coming back here. I don't
I don't know why some things occurred this year.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I don't know why John new Smith had eight million
more snaps than Pratt Fryar Mood he had won. I
think I had one target last night. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
There's like a there's a fifteen minute YouTube video out there.
Maybe it's not fifteen minutes. There is a YouTube video
out there that I began to watch like a month
ago that details Arthur Smith's love of John Us Smith
and how he's like, you know, taking him to all
his stops in the league.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You can say, like Kenny Wood, he's taking me to
all his family events. It's just.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You get in this racer car and I'll get in
this one.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
No, I don't, John Smith tells me.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
On the jail trail, Uh, he caught Johnny Smith caught
eighty eight balls from hapless TUA last year.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Doesn't that It sounds.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Crazy crazy that you you must be elite to do
something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I don't understand what John new Smith's role on this
team was all year long. I don't understand why we
didn't use Pat Friarmuth more when we had no number
two wide receiver that was worth a bleep. I don't
understand so much of what occurred this year. It is
baffling to me that we're gonna run this back the
second year in a row without having a number two
(03:16):
wide receiver. That is malpractice. That is gross negligence. You
can't do stuff like that not learn from it and
keep moving forward and think we'll be able to overcompensate.
Don't worry about it. No, we got all these tight
ends Darnell Washington, Pratt, Firemouth and John new Smith. Oh yeah,
(03:38):
you need to do some interesting things with the three
ten ends. No, not really. We're gonna use one to block,
We're not gonna play the other one, and the other
guy we're gonna throw him out in the flat four
yards and tell him just turn around. Does turn around
every play you're probably gonna get tackled for a two
yard loss. But when things go bad, we'll throw it
to you. Do I have to block only when you
want to, only when you want to?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
John Ewin Friarmuth both making top ten money for tight
ends just sort of disturbing. Did you see the shot
of Art Rooney Sr. And Omar up Omar sort of
like just hands folded, like this isn't good?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yes, not good? Yes, sad Daddy wore bucks chili up
in there. Yeah, well, I just wonder how much of
it And I thought this at the end of the
the last GMS of Kevin's run there as GM is
how much of it was Tomlin? How much of it
(04:37):
is him saying that's who I want in the draft?
This is the free agent I want. I know he's
got a lot of power, but the talent assessment on
this team has been bad since Colbert's second to last year.
They're bringing in the wrong free agents guys, Like for
everyone that makes a big splash, there's two guys that
are you know, don't make it to the end of
(04:59):
the season. How many agency we have that didn't make
the end of the season this year, one because of injury,
and two that quit the sport. Quit this Sleigh, Sleigh
just quit. It was like when Dennis Martinez retired from
baseball in the sixth inning of a Pirates game. He's like,
rather than watch this occur anymore, I'm going to quit
playing the sport. He had his Pirates jersey off before
(05:21):
he got out of the dugout and was in a
car on the way back to the Dominican Republic before
the seventh inning.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
A number of Steelers and Yah and Sleigh was highly
was well compensated. And the irony for Slagh is that
he went to that Eagles game as a member of
the Bills and the Bills are still in it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's so funny. That is hilarious. Yeah, and he can't
play for the Bills either at this point because of
the designation they have on him, so he just became
man without a country. That was the weirdest exit from football.
He's like, Nah, I don't want to go to Buffalo.
It's cold. They might go to the Super Bowl. I mean,
(06:00):
I hope they do.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Now to Spike Slack, what I don't know, I don't
understand how the Eagles are like, yes, you're coming to town,
get your field passes, shake some hands, wave super Bowl
champion last year. I guess so, But is that a
I don't know. Did anyone ask him like, hey, man,
shouldn't you Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I don't know. Chill out play for Buffalo? Yeah? Like
either play or chill out? Stop the press tour. Yeah.
It's kind of like when you call him sick for school,
you can't go to them all. I guess they don't
pretend to be sick, right, I'm sick too my stomach.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I'm watching Tremors on USA and drinking ginger ale.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Do you want Aaron Rodgers back?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do you want Aaron Rodgers back?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I think it'd be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's not personal, it's just what what is that they're
talking about running it back?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Let's say they get a big named quoter, but whatever,
they maneuver and get themselves the quarterback they want in
the first round, whoever that might be. Do you want
Aaron Rodgers to come back and have this guy learn
from him?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Can he can he do that? Is he capable of
doing that? He capable of being a backup?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I don't know. Will Howard. You know, he said he'd
spent a lot of time with Will Howard. I'm not
so sure that Will Howard is the answer, you know,
the odds time, a lot of people are a lot
of people are sure that he's the answer, and he's
right there on the roster. They keep saying, but I
don't know. And who am I to say that the
Steelers have any ability to assess whether he is or
(07:29):
he isn't because I'm just sitting here bitching about the
fact that they have such a terrible track record of
talent assessment over the last seven years. The fact that
Will Howard didn't play this year proved this is the
brain trust that brought in Kendrick Green to be Ben's
(07:50):
center in his last year. Yeah, Abby's face just went
Kendrick Green, don't even say the name anyway. Yes, all right, well,
Rob King will come in, we'll do a power hours
stealer talk. I want to let you guys know that
we are doing another ramble coming up on January twenty fourth,
two Saturdays from now, and it's a killer lineup and
(08:11):
it's the band north Side is opening up and they're
worth the price of admission and the Ramble Horns are
going to sit in with them, and they're going to
do a bunch of sittings with other players, so they're
doing a little little mini ramble of their own there
to open up with some of the funkiest tunes you
ever heard. But because of Bob Weir's passing this weekend,
we kind of gutted the set list and then filled
it full of Bob Weir songs. So there's going to
(08:33):
be like a really significant tribute to Bob Weir at
the next Ramble. And I'm really excited to hear some
of the interpretations from some of these local artists. Clint
Kleag will be there, josh Va Bannits is going to
be there, Jeff Taylor, Addie Twigg, and you know, Mike
minda Rob, James Nick Gucker is going to be there,
(08:53):
Vince Wiley, Andre Costello, and Eric Kuiningrad. Pappy from the
Cause is going to join us, of course, because if
we're going to do some Dead we gotta have Pappy
jump on board.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
So I was wondering if anybody besides you that you
would mark as like a significant Dead fan.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
No, but you know what's cool about that? And I
was thinking like, what's great about Bob's contribution to the
Dead is that he brought so much of that Baker's
Field country, the Marty Robbins kind of vibe the Buck
Owens thing that it It really was like one critic
said yesterday that his bringing that western country into the
(09:35):
Dead's repertoire helped start what is now Americana, and I
thought about it, I'm like, aah, it's actually probably very true.
I mean, the Birds had as much to do with that,
and Graham Parsons as well, but that was a big
part of it. And so the people who are on
that stage are well versed in Americana and roots rock
and stuff like that. So not everything needs to be
(09:56):
spaced out, you know, jam session if it's a Dead song,
But there will be some of that, I'm sure with
Mike Minda getting to play Jerry Garcia, I can't wait
to hear that. But those songs stand on their own,
you know, and that's I think what Bob Weir was
trying to do at the end a whole lot with
the Wolf Brothers, especially if you go listen to those
(10:16):
Wolf Brothers recordings they're on you know, all the streaming platforms,
he did such cool versions of all those songs. It's
so much, I think better than what Dead and Company
was doing, because when he slowed him down all those songs,
people call him dead and slow. You know they didn't
love that. You know, the band wasn't ripping through you know,
tunes that they're used to boogey in pretty fast too.
(10:36):
That approach really works with the instrumentation of the Wolf Brothers,
in which there was no lead guitar. There were strings
in a horn section in Don Wah's arrangements, and it's
really cool. So maybe it'll oh in some cases a
little more to that iteration of those songs, but by
and large I'm excited for it. Tickets on sale at
the Thunderbird Music Hall right now. It's January twenty fourth,
(10:59):
the next Ramble with a whole bunch of Pittsburgh superstars
showing up. Join us, won't you?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
News This hour brought to you by Window Nation. Cloudy
and breezy today with rain this evening high of fifty,
y'all actually stick with a little bit of music news here. Ahman,
the widow of David Bowie, commemorated the tenth anniversary of
his passing by getting a new tattoo inspired by his
album Black Star, which was the last album that he did.
(11:25):
But the tattoo features a minimalist black shape that kind
of looks like stars, but it spells out Bowie in
this abstract way. But Aman shared a video of the
tattooing process on Instagram, expressing her enduring grief and love
for David, stating that the pain didn't vanish, it left
it in its place a loving, permanent mark. David passed
(11:47):
away on January tenth of twenty sixteen after a private
battle with cancer, as confirmed in a statement on his
official Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
But they married in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
They had met in nineteen ninety and they had a
daughter named Alexandria Zahara Jones in two thousand and a.
Mon says she still considers herself married to Bowie, emphasizing
through my memory, my love lives.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Fun fact the Blackstar record, the band that performed that
record toured the record after Bowie's death, and the singer
they hired was Jeff Taylor, who is going to be
performing on The Ramble coming up on January twenty fourth. Wow,
you are kidding me?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
He performed on that. Yeah, he did the Black Store,
Black Black Star tour after Bowie died. That's who the
singer was. They put him out so but it wasn't
like a Bowie tour. It was because Bo's dad, but
it was the band that recorded that. They wanted to
tour those songs around and they did and they had that.
Jeff was the singer and he'll be a part and
now now he's Dormont's own and anyways, he'll be there
(12:51):
at the Ramble on the twenty fourth as well Max
Somerville from the Charles Wesley Godwin Band who's returning to Pittsburgh.
And also Zoom the return of Nathan and Zoop. So
sorry to keep bringing it back to the Ramble, but no, no,
it's no appropriately.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
So, wow, Jeff's a great choice for that. That's fantastic.
I saw a lot of love for David Bowie, like
throughout the weekend. I actually had not realized that it
was the anniversary.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
He died on his birthday? Right? Was January tenth his birthday?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Or the night Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Wow, I told you. Over the weekend I went and
saw Labyrinth. They were doing like a fortieth anniversary of Labyrinth.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, being released and I had no idea screen.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah, I had no idea that that was in conjunction
with like the.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
January eighth was his birthday, January twenty two days after
his birthday. But so you got to see the cod
piece one even bigger, Pretty cool. Yeah, that thing.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I was thinking, like I, you know, with my child
there and everything, I'm like, that's going to be a
midnight conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So you saw it with your kid? Yeah, okay, does
it hold up for kids?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know, here's the thing, you know, we're battling.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
And I did have this conversation with her because I
felt like we needed to. Where I was explaining to her,
you know, most of what you see. She's super into animation,
and she actually takes animation classes. So she's using programs
to create animation because she likes to not only draw
her own cartoons, but now she's animating them. And so
I was explaining to her, like, you know, the programs
that you're using where you're doing animation and all the
(14:25):
things that you see with CGI and cartoons, Like you
have to remember when we see this movie, these are puppets.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, so when.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
You try to appreciate what you're seeing I want you
to remember there are either people in those costumes or
there are things like people behind the scenes that are
pulling things like so the fact that you're seeing it
it should be all the more impressive of how difficult
that is to make something move in that way where
you really can't cheat it in any way. So I
think she was seeing it and appreciating it, but I
(14:55):
don't know that it had the lasting impression on her
where it broke my brain a kid.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Was there a novel component because kids see less puppetry
than I felt like when I saw Labyrinth Stone to
the Bone and the first time, the first fifteen times, sure,
I was like, it's puppets. Yeah, I've seen puppets before,
but you know, kids probably don't see that many puppets.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I didn't see a huge impact on her over the
Christmas break when I played the Muppet Christmas Carol for her,
I was like, Oh my god, this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Blow her mind. And she just didn't seem engaged with
it at all, And I'm like, oh, bummer, bummer.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
So I was hoping for a little bit of a
better result, and I mentioned it to Randy too. There's
a part in Labyrinth where there's these like creatures.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I have no idea what the point of the scene is.
I still don't.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Yeah, there's like these fire creatures that pop off their heads,
you know what I'm talking about the ways and they
just sing to.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Her and like it it's called They're called fieries.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Okay, and they just pop off their head and I
as soon as that scene started, I had completely forgotten
about it.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I just leaned over to Eadie and I'm like, this
movie is about to go off the rails. And she
was like, what's gonna happen. I'm like just waiting.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
They're like popping out their eyeballs and pulling the heads
off and stuff, and she's like.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
What is happening. I'm like, it's insane, right, She's like,
this is a little cringe. I'm like, it's a little red.
I don't know what to tell you. It's basically like
what I envisioned Aaron Rodgers' weekend. Is he Bowie or
Jennifer Kahn, Jennifer Connolly Okay, Yeah, he's Jennifer Connolly and
he's just sitting around a fire campfire somewhere, and all
(16:35):
of these like big like demon bird. Characters are dancing
around him and ripping out their eyeballs and pointing them,
and he's like, okay, I understand good, I'm gonna get
that as a tattoo. And football is the baby and
we've got to take care of the baby man. And uh,
(17:00):
I'm the codpiece.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Cloudy and breezy today with rain this evening, it is
a high of fifty.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Some good things happened. I thought there was a chance
that it gets a snap we'll give and now it's going.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
To be a flea flicker, shroud back pressure coming hit
and the ball is out.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Why Black paget for the Scailers at the forty five
year line, Well, the pressure came from Sawyer and why
Black snatched.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It out of the air. That was at the point
of the game where it was still like, okay, who's
gonna stop making mistakes? Surely it'll be us, and we'll
capitalize on their mistakes and we'll get back ahead and
all will be right with the world and order will
be restored. I hate saying this because it was so
early in the game, but if DK Metcalf doesn't drop
(17:47):
that ball, we are headed for a ten nothing lead
and all the momentum in a completely different situation with
a flummixed quarterback on the other side who would likely
to make another mistake. Instead, they went ninety two yards
and went ahead seven to three. Yeah, perhaps even more
(18:09):
rattled had they been down ten nothing. I you know.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Another a bad indicator when watching the game is when
TJ recovered that fumble.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I was like, Ah, that's great. I wish he would
have picked it up? Could he have? Could he have
scooped it? Could he have scooped it and ran with it?
Because we get in Do we need that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
So we would have.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Needed anyways, all right, Michael, join us here when we
come back. Rob came with a power hour of Steeler talk.
Still to come here as we bid farewell to the
twenty twenty five to twenty six season, and will we
run it back with Aaron Rodgers what he has to
say about that coming up? I like to hear.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
The Deobie Brothers social phone or the talkback button on
the iHeart radio app is how you reach us with
your requests.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You build the menu.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Kee Bare Rocket weekdays at noon on the DVE Electric
Lunch from the Bridgeville Pliants Weather Center, start the new
year with new home appliances personalized to fits your style, bold,
modern or traditional.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
All at Bridgeinal applying Mike pursuita with a recap of
Houston thirty Pittsburgh six, Pittsburgh, you have a problem that
you can turn on. It's here. Look they never achieved
lift off last night, Mike. They did not. That was
(19:28):
the calengers. Okay, guys, is it too far wrong? International tragedy?
Too soon? I was in seventh grade.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I felt like, when there's enough time, that was the
most sass kick in seven to six games?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It was. I told you, I saw that tweet last night,
and I'm like, that is the perfect way to describe it.
How do I tell somebody my team is getting their
ass kicked? Seven to six sports?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
That starre brought to you by Bridgeville applies to Miko Ries,
the Texans head coach and the author of that thirty
to six Texans victory over the Steelers last night.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
At actor sure.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Thought his team authored up quote the best performance we've
had in our team history.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Defensively, he might not be wrong.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
They smashed the Steelers at any and all turns and
scored two touchdowns while allowing none. Historic and I think
they could still be playing and the Steelers still wouldn't
have a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So the Steelers could score no touchdowns against the Browns
or the Texans.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Correct, Riley Leonard did right. Yeah, Texas didn't give a
damn about that game. I think the moral of that
story is it's when you play a team with great
pass rush and great corners, you maybe need great receivers.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They don't have that. They have one very very good
receiver who dropped the ball when we really needed to
catch it. Maybe the quarterback just Yell de Kalen apparently
he hates that Lester has blue hair through a Yeah,
that might have been it.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Steelers defense not awful, but not up to standard. Not
a winning performance, and I am not given a defensive pass.
I know they held Houston to seventeen points, and kind
of the magic number for the Texans was twenty. They
had fifteen wins in a row when they scored twenty
or more points. Now thanks to thirteen points from the defense,
(21:31):
sixteen in a row. But the Steelers did not accomplish
what they wanted to defensively, starting with stopping the run,
which is always job one, and continuing with the edge
group not being the best edge group on the field.
They weren't bad, but they were not the Neil Hunter
and Will Anderson Junior TJ.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Watt.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
By the time he met media in the wake of
Texas thirty, Steelers six was exhausted, exasperated, and lacking any
kind of long term answers about The only thing well
it was certain of was where the search for clarity
would begin. In terms of his approach to trying to
escape the Steelers' nightmarish postseason narrative, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's always evolving.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
I'm gonna have to take a hard look in the mirror,
continue to evolve and do things differently. But I'm gonna
take this one in. Man, this sucks hard. Look in
the mirror. I didn't notice that he was getting chipped
constantly or not. But you know, while there was some
(22:34):
edge pressure on the Steelers part and it got to c. J.
Stroud periodically, Rogers was on Aaron Rodgers was under siege.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, and that helped turn the game.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
What was among the Steelers who didn't see what transpired
at Akrisure Stadium last night?
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Coming feel great? Confidence was great, execution and practice was great.
Meetings were great. Camaraderie was great. I thought it was
gonna be a different.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Story instead the same old story. I don't know what
would lead anybody to believe that things are going to
be different right now. And I like Mike Sports, I know,
I like Mike Tomlin. I just I just don't understand
how it is that he gets to call his own
shots here.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
That is well, because there's a body of work Randall.
I know I've.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Heard that so many times and it's like, well, that's
why I'm bringing it up so that you can respond.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
His career is not the last nine years, it's the
last nineteen. I'm not endorsing him right now. I'm not
firing him right now. They have a lot of stuff
to sort through. I got some stuff to sort through.
But the amazement, could he still be the coach? Well,
because he's the ninth winningest coach in history in history,
(23:57):
not the Steelers, the NFL. He's won a Super been
to another. It's not a lot of guys walk on
the planet that have been to two Super Bowls. He
has never had a losing season. Go ahead, fan base,
that's your cure to laugh and say that doesn't matter.
I was at Akasher Stadium when they beat the Ravens.
I'm here to tell you the regular season matters, and
you people know that as well as I do, even
(24:18):
if you refuse to acknowledge it.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's why he's still the coach for now. But I'd
like to fire him because it feel good right now,
and sure, what have you considered Randy in it? It
would just be yeah, there would be a regret. You know,
I might regret it. Leader. My biggest problem with this
is the right now feels so good, and you.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Know, I mean, look, you look at some of these
playoff games, all right. Ben Roethlisberger threw four interceptions against
Cleveland in.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Twenty twenty fumble to start.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
They went in the Buffalo with Mason Rudolph as their
quarterback and not having TJ.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Watt.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
They went into Kansas City when the Chiefs were at
the height of their power. These are not games they
were supposed to win, and slipped on a banana peel. Now,
the Jacksonville game in twenty seventeen Blake Bortles. That was
a horrible loss, but they'd also just lost Brian shehaz
Year about five weeks ago, and that sort of shot
the hell out of their defense, which was the problem.
Then last night they were home underdogs. They got smashed
(25:19):
and bashed. That's not supposed to happen. But that's not
a game they were supposed to win. Well, they did
not do that.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, they lived up to that expectation.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
That it would have been nice to get a touchdown. It
would have been nice to not look at the Houston
Texas and say, well, these guys are really really good
on the edge, but we can block them with a
guy who had never played before five weeks ago, and
with the second year player who's basically in his rookie season.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
There were times when Aaron Rodgers, he was hurt all
your last year. There were times when Aaron Rodgers had
time and nobody was open, or he was missing guys.
And there's no number two guys. This is a poorly
constructed team for the second year row. Who does that
fall on. That's their biggest problem is the construction of
this team. They don't they It's not even like, well
(26:09):
they missed on guys. They didn't go get a number
two guy.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Well, they didn't go get one because they're trying to
keep the draft capital to go get a quarterback, which
everybody's going to be screaming for next spring, so it had.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't whiffed
on Roman Wilson, but they did.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
It wouldn't have been a problem if Calvin Austin had
been a legit number two receiver like they were all
insisting he was in the SPA, or if.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They knew what they had in Kenny Gane, well maybe
you don't have to draft Caleb Johnson.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Yeah, that's a good plaint. I don't think they knew
what they hadn't Kenny.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
They did it. They keep saying they did, because talent
assessment is not their forte, which is really the most
important part of constructing a football team is knowing who's
good and who's not. And I think they got guys
on the roster who are good and they're not even
using them. Friarmoth.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
My biggest problem, though, is that the defensive game plan
against the Ravens last year and the offensive game plan
against Houston last night. I think those were two major
contributors to those playoff the bockles I I'm if I'm
arn't rooting, and I'm trying to find some answers I.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Start there, How are you not just pounding the rock
last night? I don't know the whole fricking no game,
beat them three two. If you have to go to
the line, now, okay, then you let Aaron Rodgers change
things up.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You know, here's here's the stuff that happened that we
were pretty certain, even us the amateurs, and you know,
from casual fans to people who think we study this
and know what we're talking about. You knew those guys
were hell on earth coming off the edge, right, game wreckers.
You knew that you probably suspected if you were looking
at it honestly, that all that checkdown stuff they did
(27:50):
to the running backs all year wasn't going to work
against the defense. This path, this fast, the flanker screens
and a little team off bump downs the negative play
off on that. And then the third thing is you
know your receivers by now are not what you thought
they were. So you got basically one option, try to
outlast them by running the ball and playing defense. And
(28:12):
you had a chance to play defense better than them
if you didn't try to play into their strength.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I I didn't have a huge problem with the defense
other than they were out there for too long, and
that was a lot to ask for them. They still
came up with big plays, whether it was CJ's croud
screwing up or them making them screw up. You know,
those interceptions he threw wasn't just because he was making
a bad throw, it was he was under duress.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
So but I didn't get past the woody marks hundred
and twelve yards rushing on nineteen carries.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Welcome to the NFL. I think we were joking about
that before the game.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
I called him just a guy and he said, oh,
it'll probably be his coming out Party's right.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Guess what here, we are all right on the way
for you. Rob came with a power hour of Steeler talk.
But first, Mike, uh, we're all gonna need to try
to make some hey while the sun shines this coming weekend.
After the results of that game last night, you know,
I get it. It's never fun when your team doesn't
win in the postseason. Then again, that's why God invented unders,
isn't it. If you have the bet Parks sportsbook and
(29:16):

You can do so through.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Player performance props and a good solid under. When the
game is screaming, the points are going to be very
difficult to come by. You can even get in on
that action after the game starts if you want to.
There's always another way to win with bet Parks, and
that's one reason why the bet park sports book at
online casino app is the only one I recommend. Bet

Speaker 11 (30:59):
Randy Bowman's Amble returns, brought to you by DVE.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Rob King Here, Staying connected to your Steelers has never
been easier.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Your radio home with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Why out two
point five dv E Well top five plays of the
game aren't so fun when the result is as bad
as it was for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But let's get
started here. Abby Chrisner Mike pursuit of Ted Whistle joining
me Randy Bauman here in the studio at number five,
(31:31):
two oh nine left in the first quarter. For some reason,
the Texans resort to trickery. I don't know who they
thought they were playing, and they had a touchdown waiting
to happen. If not for the modern day warrior, Jack Sawyer.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Crowd gets a snap, will give and now it's going
to be a flea flicker shroud back, pressure coming and
the battles out.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Why block for this gale the forty five year line.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
The pressure came from Sawyer and why Black snatched.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
It down the air. Okay, that was one of those
plays I was telling you about where I felt like,
all right, as soon as they stop making mistakes, you know,
maybe we'll be in trouble with their snowmaking them. So
let's capitalize.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
And the Steelers could have done that at the paths
to Metcalf two plays later to the Houston thirty four,
and he dropped.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It momentum killer. They could have gone up and nothing
there at least six at number four with six point
twenty left in the second after they punted away to
the Houston Texans and then they drive ninety two yards
for a touchdown, and it looks like, oh boy, are
they gonna start turning up against us. No, Keanu Benton says,
(32:51):
eh goo.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Second at six and Stroud drops a snap back to
pass looking steps up and leens the forward. The Steelers
are gonna think this is a fumble with one on
top of it, and the officials are saying it is
a fumble. We got the twenty one yard line and
DJ one has recovered.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Okay, they kept giving you chances to stay in the game.
It was seven to three at that point Steelers got
the ball. Was that when they went down and kicked
the second field goal that.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Is well went down is three plays of nothing a
place for four yards, yeah, four years, including a fourth
down conversion. When I was thinking kick it, kick it,
don't don't be stupid, kick it.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Ended up kicking it. Anyway. We needed the priest to
come out with the holy water right then he needs
to throw There were two on hand last night. Well,
they didn't do their job. Bad bad job by the
pre Even the priests underperformed last night. Number three play
of the game, ten thirty two of the third quarter.
It looked like the Texans. Once again. We're about to
push the ball in the end zone and start to
(33:59):
create some distance between them and the team that they
were badly out playing. But Brandon Eckles makes another big play.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Gets a snap back to pass looking left, now back
to the right, has time stepping up, dancing at the pocket,
sling sidearm, and as it picked off Holy mackerel, Eckles
somehow came up with a tumbling interception inside.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
The five yard line. What a catch on the ist
by Eckles. You know, they were gassed from that first half.
The second quarter especially was brutal, and then they had to,
you know, contend with the Texans getting the ball to
start the second half. And they still were bend not break,
and this defense still made some places. I'm not beating
(34:44):
as hard on the defense as everyone else because Tom
has always been a bend, don't break guy, and they
came up with the big plays. Wouldn't matter. They're still
in the game. It's seven to six there, number two,
not that, but they converted a third down after that,
they know to Marquez Valdez. Scantlon was the first one
exon Valdez. Yeah, it was not quite that big of
(35:07):
a disaster for him this year here, but during near
close number two play of the game, Tad, as you said,
the fact that Christian Kirk was in the conversation to
be the Steelers number two guy, and then it didn't
end up happening this year when they desperately needed that,
and he was the guy killed us to burn them
last night. Third and fifteen, forty three seconds left in
(35:31):
the third quarter. To me, this was the game number two.
Christian Kirk from c J Stroud.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Crowd gets a snap five man rush coming steps up
past time, throws out to the right as a man
breaking free, and it's caught by Kirk inside Steelers territory.
The pass rush didn't get home and Kirk broke wide
open and a third and fifteen conversion all the way
down to the thirty three yard line.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Kind of his Steelers a forty nine yard pickup. Forty
nine yard pickup.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
You know, while we were raging against the evaluations machine,
we didn't get around to talking about Kyle Dugger, but
when he first got here was being credited for helping
solidify things on the back end with Ramsey. By the
end of the Baltimore game, he was watching and Chuck
Clark was playing, and I think the only reason he
was playing at that juncture was because Chuck Clark got hurt.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
It's exactly And if you watch that play, he did
such a horrific job of capping that route and getting
a late start. It is mind boggling that he was
misplaying at that poorly. But he was not alone last night.
There are a lot of people miss playing on crucial downs.
(36:45):
You'll never play. You'll never miss, not with this defense
or this offense for that matter. And the number one
play of the game, I mean this Oklahoma, right, No Carosel.
You're the musical guy, not me. You like all of
that fruity stuff. Number one play of the game. We
all know what it was. You get this big man
(37:06):
touchdown on you. It's just hard to come back from
this morally.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
If nothing else, Rogers steps up, and Rogers is sacked,
and the ball is loose, and it's picked up by
Sheldon Rankins, and Rankins is sprinting down the field and
Rankins has scored Houston Texans touchdown.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
I hate that play more than any play in the
entire season. Third and twelve. They've done nothing all night.
What do you think is gonna happen if you go
empty spread there. I still think that's what's gonna happen.
I disagree with Jeans terrator two.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I mean he Aaron Rodgers clearly took a shot to
the head on that one. I think you got to
call it. That's why the rule is there. And if
you're not calling that, they don't even have the rule.
And yes, I do love show tunes. I mean, on
Friday night I watched That's the movie about Rogers and Hammerstein.
You know, I don't know that much. I'm I'm still
(38:03):
not as well. From Heaven to his daughter. Well, somebody
singing down to the Steeler's front office and tell them
to get people. I don't know. You don't know this stuff.
Uh No, you know a lot of old person stuff
for a guy. Yeah. Sometimes I thought you'd have known that.
It's a whiff. Not the super fruity stuff though, just
(38:24):
the regular Yeah, the cool musical stuff, yeah, Jesus Christ, superstar,
Tobby carouseling, Oklahoma. That's it. I mean, just an awful
end to the Steelers season last night at home in
front of a crowd that was ready to explode, Unlike
the week before, which was essentially a playoff game, win
(38:44):
and you're in. Tickets were not cheap. Getting into that
game was pricey last night, and they still put sixty
five thousand people into the stands.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Sixty seven, sixty seven, two and ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Sorry, just to sleep, deprived of all of you, and
nothing's making sense. Very few Texans fans though.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
You wouldn't have known that if you're doing the postgame
show and the other people left for Texans fans surrounding
the TV thing on the field.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
So you and Charlie were there to see all of that. Huh,
yes we were, man, How Lee, did you guys take
the post game too last night o'clock? Wow? Well, good
on you once again for getting an hour and a
half of sleep and coming in here and doing the
morning show after. Is this the fourth night game we've
had this year? I know it's the last. It is
a power hour with Rob King, voice of the Steelers,
(39:38):
the voice of all of those calls you just heard
here on the flagship TV. That's next.
Speaker 8 (39:43):
Chad Tyson turns your car into a sonic playground every
weekday afternoon. He's got a reloaded gun from the DV
morning show Sports and a Workforce Commercial Free Hour at
three afternoons with Chad Tyson on DV.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
Hey it's abby And just a while back, I had
zero res parked in front of my house because they
were doing an air duct cleaning for
Burg and iHeartRadio station guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Human gets a snap, gives to Mark, stretch played to
the right, cuts back to the left end Marks is
able to burst through and get into the end zone
for a Texan score. Slams the football against the far
side of the stands, and nineteen carries one hundred and
(00:28):
twelve yards, a career high for Woody March.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And that touchdown is pretty much going to end this one.
I can't even make fun of Woody Marks his name
right now because he kicked our ass so much last
night the Steelers. He they had a cool drone show
at halftime. You know there's that. Yeah, you sent that
to me. That was that was cool. Yeah, what did
the drones do? Waved the white flag, it said fire
(00:55):
Tomlin really big. Yeah, that'll be the next thing that happened.
And we got to go fund me together. We're gonna
have a drone show during the draft that says fire
tom One. I don't think that that's what's gonna happen
right now. I think that this is up to coach Tomlin.
I don't see the organization firing, but let's just say
(01:18):
they did, and then the Steelers could hire John Harbaugh,
and then the Ravens could hire Tomlin, and then the
Browns would rehire Stefanski bring them back. We decided you
passed the test. Kasloman is like I walked past the
homeless guy. He said I should rehire him, So I did.
Did you sell your house? Not yet.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
We're getting it right. We're doing some staging photos. We'll
pull the listing. You're coming back, buddy, but it looks
like it might all be coming back here. I don't
I don't know why some things occurred this year.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I don't know why John new Smith had eight million
more snaps than Pratt Fryar Mood he had won. I
think I had one target last night. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
There's like a there's a fifteen minute YouTube video out there.
Maybe it's not fifteen minutes. There is a YouTube video
out there that I began to watch like a month
ago that details Arthur Smith's love of John Us Smith
and how he's like, you know, taking him to all
his stops in the league.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
You can say, like Kenny Wood, he's taking me to
all his family events. It's just.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You get in this racer car and I'll get in
this one.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
No, I don't, John Smith tells me.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
On the jail trail, Uh, he caught Johnny Smith caught
eighty eight balls from hapless TUA last year.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Doesn't that It sounds.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Crazy crazy that you you must be elite to do
something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I don't understand what John new Smith's role on this
team was all year long. I don't understand why we
didn't use Pat Friarmuth more when we had no number
two wide receiver that was worth a bleep. I don't
understand so much of what occurred this year. It is
baffling to me that we're gonna run this back the
second year in a row without having a number two
(03:16):
wide receiver. That is malpractice. That is gross negligence. You
can't do stuff like that not learn from it and
keep moving forward and think we'll be able to overcompensate.
Don't worry about it. No, we got all these tight
ends Darnell Washington, Pratt, Firemouth and John new Smith. Oh yeah,
(03:38):
you need to do some interesting things with the three
ten ends. No, not really. We're gonna use one to block,
We're not gonna play the other one, and the other
guy we're gonna throw him out in the flat four
yards and tell him just turn around. Does turn around
every play you're probably gonna get tackled for a two
yard loss. But when things go bad, we'll throw it
to you. Do I have to block only when you
want to, only when you want to?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
John Ewin Friarmuth both making top ten money for tight
ends just sort of disturbing. Did you see the shot
of Art Rooney Sr. And Omar up Omar sort of
like just hands folded, like this isn't good?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yes, not good? Yes, sad Daddy wore bucks chili up
in there. Yeah, well, I just wonder how much of
it And I thought this at the end of the
the last GMS of Kevin's run there as GM is
how much of it was Tomlin? How much of it
(04:37):
is him saying that's who I want in the draft?
This is the free agent I want. I know he's
got a lot of power, but the talent assessment on
this team has been bad since Colbert's second to last year.
They're bringing in the wrong free agents guys, Like for
everyone that makes a big splash, there's two guys that
are you know, don't make it to the end of
(04:59):
the season. How many agency we have that didn't make
the end of the season this year, one because of injury,
and two that quit the sport. Quit this Sleigh, Sleigh
just quit. It was like when Dennis Martinez retired from
baseball in the sixth inning of a Pirates game. He's like,
rather than watch this occur anymore, I'm going to quit
playing the sport. He had his Pirates jersey off before
(05:21):
he got out of the dugout and was in a
car on the way back to the Dominican Republic before
the seventh inning.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
A number of Steelers and Yah and Sleigh was highly
was well compensated. And the irony for Slagh is that
he went to that Eagles game as a member of
the Bills and the Bills are still in it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's so funny. That is hilarious. Yeah, and he can't
play for the Bills either at this point because of
the designation they have on him, so he just became
man without a country. That was the weirdest exit from football.
He's like, Nah, I don't want to go to Buffalo.
It's cold. They might go to the Super Bowl. I mean,
(06:00):
I hope they do.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Now to Spike Slack, what I don't know, I don't
understand how the Eagles are like, yes, you're coming to town,
get your field passes, shake some hands, wave super Bowl
champion last year. I guess so, But is that a
I don't know. Did anyone ask him like, hey, man,
shouldn't you Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I don't know. Chill out play for Buffalo? Yeah? Like
either play or chill out? Stop the press tour. Yeah.
It's kind of like when you call him sick for school,
you can't go to them all. I guess they don't
pretend to be sick, right, I'm sick too my stomach.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I'm watching Tremors on USA and drinking ginger ale.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Do you want Aaron Rodgers back?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do you want Aaron Rodgers back?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I think it'd be kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's not personal, it's just what what is that they're
talking about running it back?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Let's say they get a big named quoter, but whatever,
they maneuver and get themselves the quarterback they want in
the first round, whoever that might be. Do you want
Aaron Rodgers to come back and have this guy learn
from him?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Can he can he do that? Is he capable of
doing that? He capable of being a backup?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I don't know. Will Howard. You know, he said he'd
spent a lot of time with Will Howard. I'm not
so sure that Will Howard is the answer, you know,
the odds time, a lot of people are a lot
of people are sure that he's the answer, and he's
right there on the roster. They keep saying, but I
don't know. And who am I to say that the
Steelers have any ability to assess whether he is or
(07:29):
he isn't because I'm just sitting here bitching about the
fact that they have such a terrible track record of
talent assessment over the last seven years. The fact that
Will Howard didn't play this year proved this is the
brain trust that brought in Kendrick Green to be Ben's
(07:50):
center in his last year. Yeah, Abby's face just went
Kendrick Green, don't even say the name anyway. Yes, all right, well,
Rob King will come in, we'll do a power hours
stealer talk. I want to let you guys know that
we are doing another ramble coming up on January twenty fourth,
two Saturdays from now, and it's a killer lineup and
(08:11):
it's the band north Side is opening up and they're
worth the price of admission and the Ramble Horns are
going to sit in with them, and they're going to
do a bunch of sittings with other players, so they're
doing a little little mini ramble of their own there
to open up with some of the funkiest tunes you
ever heard. But because of Bob Weir's passing this weekend,
we kind of gutted the set list and then filled
it full of Bob Weir songs. So there's going to
(08:33):
be like a really significant tribute to Bob Weir at
the next Ramble. And I'm really excited to hear some
of the interpretations from some of these local artists. Clint
Kleag will be there, josh Va Bannits is going to
be there, Jeff Taylor, Addie Twigg, and you know, Mike
minda Rob, James Nick Gucker is going to be there,
(08:53):
Vince Wiley, Andre Costello, and Eric Kuiningrad. Pappy from the
Cause is going to join us, of course, because if
we're going to do some Dead we gotta have Pappy
jump on board.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
So I was wondering if anybody besides you that you
would mark as like a significant Dead fan.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
No, but you know what's cool about that? And I
was thinking like, what's great about Bob's contribution to the
Dead is that he brought so much of that Baker's
Field country, the Marty Robbins kind of vibe the Buck
Owens thing that it It really was like one critic
said yesterday that his bringing that western country into the
(09:35):
Dead's repertoire helped start what is now Americana, and I
thought about it, I'm like, aah, it's actually probably very true.
I mean, the Birds had as much to do with that,
and Graham Parsons as well, but that was a big
part of it. And so the people who are on
that stage are well versed in Americana and roots rock
and stuff like that. So not everything needs to be
(09:56):
spaced out, you know, jam session if it's a Dead song,
But there will be some of that, I'm sure with
Mike Minda getting to play Jerry Garcia, I can't wait
to hear that. But those songs stand on their own,
you know, and that's I think what Bob Weir was
trying to do at the end a whole lot with
the Wolf Brothers, especially if you go listen to those
(10:16):
Wolf Brothers recordings they're on you know, all the streaming platforms,
he did such cool versions of all those songs. It's
so much, I think better than what Dead and Company
was doing, because when he slowed him down all those songs,
people call him dead and slow. You know they didn't
love that. You know, the band wasn't ripping through you know,
tunes that they're used to boogey in pretty fast too.
(10:36):
That approach really works with the instrumentation of the Wolf Brothers,
in which there was no lead guitar. There were strings
in a horn section in Don Wah's arrangements, and it's
really cool. So maybe it'll oh in some cases a
little more to that iteration of those songs, but by
and large I'm excited for it. Tickets on sale at
the Thunderbird Music Hall right now. It's January twenty fourth,
(10:59):
the next Ramble with a whole bunch of Pittsburgh superstars
showing up. Join us, won't you?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
News This hour brought to you by Window Nation. Cloudy
and breezy today with rain this evening high of fifty,
y'all actually stick with a little bit of music news here. Ahman,
the widow of David Bowie, commemorated the tenth anniversary of
his passing by getting a new tattoo inspired by his
album Black Star, which was the last album that he did.
(11:25):
But the tattoo features a minimalist black shape that kind
of looks like stars, but it spells out Bowie in
this abstract way. But Aman shared a video of the
tattooing process on Instagram, expressing her enduring grief and love
for David, stating that the pain didn't vanish, it left
it in its place a loving, permanent mark. David passed
(11:47):
away on January tenth of twenty sixteen after a private
battle with cancer, as confirmed in a statement on his
official Facebook page.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
But they married in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
They had met in nineteen ninety and they had a
daughter named Alexandria Zahara Jones in two thousand and a.
Mon says she still considers herself married to Bowie, emphasizing
through my memory, my love lives.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Fun fact the Blackstar record, the band that performed that
record toured the record after Bowie's death, and the singer
they hired was Jeff Taylor, who is going to be
performing on The Ramble coming up on January twenty fourth. Wow,
you are kidding me?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
He performed on that. Yeah, he did the Black Store,
Black Black Star tour after Bowie died. That's who the
singer was. They put him out so but it wasn't
like a Bowie tour. It was because Bo's dad, but
it was the band that recorded that. They wanted to
tour those songs around and they did and they had that.
Jeff was the singer and he'll be a part and
now now he's Dormont's own and anyways, he'll be there
(12:51):
at the Ramble on the twenty fourth as well Max
Somerville from the Charles Wesley Godwin Band who's returning to Pittsburgh.
And also Zoom the return of Nathan and Zoop. So
sorry to keep bringing it back to the Ramble, but no, no,
it's no appropriately.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
So, wow, Jeff's a great choice for that. That's fantastic.
I saw a lot of love for David Bowie, like
throughout the weekend. I actually had not realized that it
was the anniversary.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
He died on his birthday? Right? Was January tenth his birthday?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Or the night Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Wow, I told you. Over the weekend I went and
saw Labyrinth. They were doing like a fortieth anniversary of Labyrinth.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, being released and I had no idea screen.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah, I had no idea that that was in conjunction
with like the.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
January eighth was his birthday, January twenty two days after
his birthday. But so you got to see the cod
piece one even bigger, Pretty cool. Yeah, that thing.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
I was thinking, like I, you know, with my child
there and everything, I'm like, that's going to be a
midnight conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So you saw it with your kid? Yeah, okay, does
it hold up for kids?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know, here's the thing, you know, we're battling.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
And I did have this conversation with her because I
felt like we needed to. Where I was explaining to her,
you know, most of what you see. She's super into animation,
and she actually takes animation classes. So she's using programs
to create animation because she likes to not only draw
her own cartoons, but now she's animating them. And so
I was explaining to her, like, you know, the programs
that you're using where you're doing animation and all the
(14:25):
things that you see with CGI and cartoons, Like you
have to remember when we see this movie, these are puppets.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, so when.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
You try to appreciate what you're seeing I want you
to remember there are either people in those costumes or
there are things like people behind the scenes that are
pulling things like so the fact that you're seeing it
it should be all the more impressive of how difficult
that is to make something move in that way where
you really can't cheat it in any way. So I
think she was seeing it and appreciating it, but I
(14:55):
don't know that it had the lasting impression on her
where it broke my brain a kid.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Was there a novel component because kids see less puppetry
than I felt like when I saw Labyrinth Stone to
the Bone and the first time, the first fifteen times, sure,
I was like, it's puppets. Yeah, I've seen puppets before,
but you know, kids probably don't see that many puppets.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I didn't see a huge impact on her over the
Christmas break when I played the Muppet Christmas Carol for her,
I was like, Oh my god, this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Blow her mind. And she just didn't seem engaged with
it at all, And I'm like, oh, bummer, bummer.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
So I was hoping for a little bit of a
better result, and I mentioned it to Randy too. There's
a part in Labyrinth where there's these like creatures.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I have no idea what the point of the scene is.
I still don't.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Yeah, there's like these fire creatures that pop off their heads,
you know what I'm talking about the ways and they
just sing to.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Her and like it it's called They're called fieries.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Okay, and they just pop off their head and I
as soon as that scene started, I had completely forgotten
about it.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I just leaned over to Eadie and I'm like, this
movie is about to go off the rails. And she
was like, what's gonna happen. I'm like just waiting.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
They're like popping out their eyeballs and pulling the heads
off and stuff, and she's like.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
What is happening. I'm like, it's insane, right, She's like,
this is a little cringe. I'm like, it's a little red.
I don't know what to tell you. It's basically like
what I envisioned Aaron Rodgers' weekend. Is he Bowie or
Jennifer Kahn, Jennifer Connolly Okay, Yeah, he's Jennifer Connolly and
he's just sitting around a fire campfire somewhere, and all
(16:35):
of these like big like demon bird. Characters are dancing
around him and ripping out their eyeballs and pointing them,
and he's like, okay, I understand good, I'm gonna get
that as a tattoo. And football is the baby and
we've got to take care of the baby man. And uh,
(17:00):
I'm the codpiece.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Cloudy and breezy today with rain this evening, it is
a high of fifty.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Some good things happened. I thought there was a chance
that it gets a snap we'll give and now it's going.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
To be a flea flicker, shroud back pressure coming hit
and the ball is out.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Why Black paget for the Scailers at the forty five
year line, Well, the pressure came from Sawyer and why
Black snatched.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
It out of the air. That was at the point
of the game where it was still like, okay, who's
gonna stop making mistakes? Surely it'll be us, and we'll
capitalize on their mistakes and we'll get back ahead and
all will be right with the world and order will
be restored. I hate saying this because it was so
early in the game, but if DK Metcalf doesn't drop
(17:47):
that ball, we are headed for a ten nothing lead
and all the momentum in a completely different situation with
a flummixed quarterback on the other side who would likely
to make another mistake. Instead, they went ninety two yards
and went ahead seven to three. Yeah, perhaps even more
(18:09):
rattled had they been down ten nothing. I you know.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Another a bad indicator when watching the game is when
TJ recovered that fumble.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I was like, Ah, that's great. I wish he would
have picked it up? Could he have? Could he have
scooped it? Could he have scooped it and ran with it?
Because we get in Do we need that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
So we would have.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Needed anyways, all right, Michael, join us here when we
come back. Rob came with a power hour of Steeler talk.
Still to come here as we bid farewell to the
twenty twenty five to twenty six season, and will we
run it back with Aaron Rodgers what he has to
say about that coming up? I like to hear.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
The Deobie Brothers social phone or the talkback button on
the iHeart radio app is how you reach us with
your requests.

modern or traditional.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
All at Bridgeinal applying Mike pursuita with a recap of
Houston thirty Pittsburgh six, Pittsburgh, you have a problem that
you can turn on. It's here. Look they never achieved
lift off last night, Mike. They did not. That was
(19:28):
the calengers. Okay, guys, is it too far wrong? International tragedy?
Too soon? I was in seventh grade.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I felt like, when there's enough time, that was the
most sass kick in seven to six games?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It was. I told you, I saw that tweet last night,
and I'm like, that is the perfect way to describe it.
How do I tell somebody my team is getting their
ass kicked? Seven to six sports?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
That starre brought to you by Bridgeville applies to Miko Ries,
the Texans head coach and the author of that thirty
to six Texans victory over the Steelers last night.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
At actor sure.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Thought his team authored up quote the best performance we've
had in our team history.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Defensively, he might not be wrong.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
They smashed the Steelers at any and all turns and
scored two touchdowns while allowing none. Historic and I think
they could still be playing and the Steelers still wouldn't
have a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So the Steelers could score no touchdowns against the Browns
or the Texans.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Correct, Riley Leonard did right. Yeah, Texas didn't give a
damn about that game. I think the moral of that
story is it's when you play a team with great
pass rush and great corners, you maybe need great receivers.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They don't have that. They have one very very good
receiver who dropped the ball when we really needed to
catch it. Maybe the quarterback just Yell de Kalen apparently
he hates that Lester has blue hair through a Yeah,
that might have been it.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Steelers defense not awful, but not up to standard. Not
a winning performance, and I am not given a defensive pass.
I know they held Houston to seventeen points, and kind
of the magic number for the Texans was twenty. They
had fifteen wins in a row when they scored twenty
or more points. Now thanks to thirteen points from the defense,
(21:31):
sixteen in a row. But the Steelers did not accomplish
what they wanted to defensively, starting with stopping the run,
which is always job one, and continuing with the edge
group not being the best edge group on the field.
They weren't bad, but they were not the Neil Hunter
and Will Anderson Junior TJ.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Watt.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
By the time he met media in the wake of
Texas thirty, Steelers six was exhausted, exasperated, and lacking any
kind of long term answers about The only thing well
it was certain of was where the search for clarity
would begin. In terms of his approach to trying to
escape the Steelers' nightmarish postseason narrative, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's always evolving.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
I'm gonna have to take a hard look in the mirror,
continue to evolve and do things differently. But I'm gonna
take this one in. Man, this sucks hard. Look in
the mirror. I didn't notice that he was getting chipped
constantly or not. But you know, while there was some
(22:34):
edge pressure on the Steelers part and it got to c. J.
Stroud periodically, Rogers was on Aaron Rodgers was under siege.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, and that helped turn the game.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
What was among the Steelers who didn't see what transpired
at Akrisure Stadium last night?
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Coming feel great? Confidence was great, execution and practice was great.
Meetings were great. Camaraderie was great. I thought it was
gonna be a different.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Story instead the same old story. I don't know what
would lead anybody to believe that things are going to
be different right now. And I like Mike Sports, I know,
I like Mike Tomlin. I just I just don't understand
how it is that he gets to call his own
shots here.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
That is well, because there's a body of work Randall.
I know I've.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Heard that so many times and it's like, well, that's
why I'm bringing it up so that you can respond.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
His career is not the last nine years, it's the
last nineteen. I'm not endorsing him right now. I'm not
firing him right now. They have a lot of stuff
to sort through. I got some stuff to sort through.
But the amazement, could he still be the coach? Well,
because he's the ninth winningest coach in history in history,
(23:57):
not the Steelers, the NFL. He's won a Super been
to another. It's not a lot of guys walk on
the planet that have been to two Super Bowls. He
has never had a losing season. Go ahead, fan base,
that's your cure to laugh and say that doesn't matter.
I was at Akasher Stadium when they beat the Ravens.
I'm here to tell you the regular season matters, and
you people know that as well as I do, even
(24:18):
if you refuse to acknowledge it.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
That's why he's still the coach for now. But I'd
like to fire him because it feel good right now,
and sure, what have you considered Randy in it? It
would just be yeah, there would be a regret. You know,
I might regret it. Leader. My biggest problem with this
is the right now feels so good, and you.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Know, I mean, look, you look at some of these
playoff games, all right. Ben Roethlisberger threw four interceptions against
Cleveland in.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Twenty twenty fumble to start.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
They went in the Buffalo with Mason Rudolph as their
quarterback and not having TJ.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Watt.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
They went into Kansas City when the Chiefs were at
the height of their power. These are not games they
were supposed to win, and slipped on a banana peel. Now,
the Jacksonville game in twenty seventeen Blake Bortles. That was
a horrible loss, but they'd also just lost Brian shehaz
Year about five weeks ago, and that sort of shot
the hell out of their defense, which was the problem.
Then last night they were home underdogs. They got smashed
(25:19):
and bashed. That's not supposed to happen. But that's not
a game they were supposed to win. Well, they did
not do that.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, they lived up to that expectation.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
That it would have been nice to get a touchdown. It
would have been nice to not look at the Houston
Texas and say, well, these guys are really really good
on the edge, but we can block them with a
guy who had never played before five weeks ago, and
with the second year player who's basically in his rookie season.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
There were times when Aaron Rodgers, he was hurt all
your last year. There were times when Aaron Rodgers had
time and nobody was open, or he was missing guys.
And there's no number two guys. This is a poorly
constructed team for the second year row. Who does that
fall on. That's their biggest problem is the construction of
this team. They don't they It's not even like, well
(26:09):
they missed on guys. They didn't go get a number
two guy.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Well, they didn't go get one because they're trying to
keep the draft capital to go get a quarterback, which
everybody's going to be screaming for next spring, so it had.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't whiffed
on Roman Wilson, but they did.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
It wouldn't have been a problem if Calvin Austin had
been a legit number two receiver like they were all
insisting he was in the SPA, or if.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
They knew what they had in Kenny Gane, well maybe
you don't have to draft Caleb Johnson.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Yeah, that's a good plaint. I don't think they knew
what they hadn't Kenny.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
They did it. They keep saying they did, because talent
assessment is not their forte, which is really the most
important part of constructing a football team is knowing who's
good and who's not. And I think they got guys
on the roster who are good and they're not even
using them. Friarmoth.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
My biggest problem, though, is that the defensive game plan
against the Ravens last year and the offensive game plan
against Houston last night. I think those were two major
contributors to those playoff the bockles I I'm if I'm
arn't rooting, and I'm trying to find some answers I.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Start there, How are you not just pounding the rock
last night? I don't know the whole fricking no game,
beat them three two. If you have to go to
the line, now, okay, then you let Aaron Rodgers change
things up.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You know, here's here's the stuff that happened that we
were pretty certain, even us the amateurs, and you know,
from casual fans to people who think we study this
and know what we're talking about. You knew those guys
were hell on earth coming off the edge, right, game wreckers.
You knew that you probably suspected if you were looking
at it honestly, that all that checkdown stuff they did
(27:50):
to the running backs all year wasn't going to work
against the defense. This path, this fast, the flanker screens
and a little team off bump downs the negative play
off on that. And then the third thing is you
know your receivers by now are not what you thought
they were. So you got basically one option, try to
outlast them by running the ball and playing defense. And
(28:12):
you had a chance to play defense better than them
if you didn't try to play into their strength.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I I didn't have a huge problem with the defense
other than they were out there for too long, and
that was a lot to ask for them. They still
came up with big plays, whether it was CJ's croud
screwing up or them making them screw up. You know,
those interceptions he threw wasn't just because he was making
a bad throw, it was he was under duress.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
So but I didn't get past the woody marks hundred
and twelve yards rushing on nineteen carries.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Welcome to the NFL. I think we were joking about
that before the game.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
I called him just a guy and he said, oh,
it'll probably be his coming out Party's right.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Guess what here, we are all right on the way
for you. Rob came with a power hour of Steeler talk.
But first, Mike, uh, we're all gonna need to try
to make some hey while the sun shines this coming weekend.
After the results of that game last night, you know,
I get it. It's never fun when your team doesn't
win in the postseason. Then again, that's why God invented unders,
isn't it. If you have the bet Parks sportsbook and
(29:16):
online casino app, you can still win even if they don't.
You can do so through.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Player performance props and a good solid under. When the
game is screaming, the points are going to be very
difficult to come by. You can even get in on
that action after the game starts if you want to.
There's always another way to win with bet Parks, and
that's one reason why the bet park sports book at
online casino app is the only one I recommend. Bet
Park's current options include a great offer for new users

Speaker 11 (30:59):
Randy Bowman's Amble returns, brought to you by DVE.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Rob King Here, Staying connected to your Steelers has never
been easier.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Your radio home with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Why out two
point five dv E Well top five plays of the
game aren't so fun when the result is as bad
as it was for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But let's get
started here. Abby Chrisner Mike pursuit of Ted Whistle joining
me Randy Bauman here in the studio at number five,
(31:31):
two oh nine left in the first quarter. For some reason,
the Texans resort to trickery. I don't know who they
thought they were playing, and they had a touchdown waiting
to happen. If not for the modern day warrior, Jack Sawyer.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Crowd gets a snap, will give and now it's going
to be a flea flicker shroud back, pressure coming and
the battles out.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Why block for this gale the forty five year line.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
The pressure came from Sawyer and why Black snatched.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
It down the air. Okay, that was one of those
plays I was telling you about where I felt like,
all right, as soon as they stop making mistakes, you know,
maybe we'll be in trouble with their snowmaking them. So
let's capitalize.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
And the Steelers could have done that at the paths
to Metcalf two plays later to the Houston thirty four,
and he dropped.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
It momentum killer. They could have gone up and nothing
there at least six at number four with six point
twenty left in the second after they punted away to
the Houston Texans and then they drive ninety two yards
for a touchdown, and it looks like, oh boy, are
they gonna start turning up against us. No, Keanu Benton says,
(32:51):
eh goo.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Second at six and Stroud drops a snap back to
pass looking steps up and leens the forward. The Steelers
are gonna think this is a fumble with one on
top of it, and the officials are saying it is
a fumble. We got the twenty one yard line and
DJ one has recovered.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Okay, they kept giving you chances to stay in the game.
It was seven to three at that point Steelers got
the ball. Was that when they went down and kicked
the second field goal that.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Is well went down is three plays of nothing a
place for four yards, yeah, four years, including a fourth
down conversion. When I was thinking kick it, kick it,
don't don't be stupid, kick it.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Ended up kicking it. Anyway. We needed the priest to
come out with the holy water right then he needs
to throw There were two on hand last night. Well,
they didn't do their job. Bad bad job by the
pre Even the priests underperformed last night. Number three play
of the game, ten thirty two of the third quarter.
It looked like the Texans. Once again. We're about to
push the ball in the end zone and start to
(33:59):
create some distance between them and the team that they
were badly out playing. But Brandon Eckles makes another big play.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Gets a snap back to pass looking left, now back
to the right, has time stepping up, dancing at the pocket,
sling sidearm, and as it picked off Holy mackerel, Eckles
somehow came up with a tumbling interception inside.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
The five yard line. What a catch on the ist
by Eckles. You know, they were gassed from that first half.
The second quarter especially was brutal, and then they had to,
you know, contend with the Texans getting the ball to
start the second half. And they still were bend not break,
and this defense still made some places. I'm not beating
(34:44):
as hard on the defense as everyone else because Tom
has always been a bend, don't break guy, and they
came up with the big plays. Wouldn't matter. They're still
in the game. It's seven to six there, number two,
not that, but they converted a third down after that,
they know to Marquez Valdez. Scantlon was the first one
exon Valdez. Yeah, it was not quite that big of
(35:07):
a disaster for him this year here, but during near
close number two play of the game, Tad, as you said,
the fact that Christian Kirk was in the conversation to
be the Steelers number two guy, and then it didn't
end up happening this year when they desperately needed that,
and he was the guy killed us to burn them
last night. Third and fifteen, forty three seconds left in
(35:31):
the third quarter. To me, this was the game number two.
Christian Kirk from c J Stroud.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Crowd gets a snap five man rush coming steps up
past time, throws out to the right as a man
breaking free, and it's caught by Kirk inside Steelers territory.
The pass rush didn't get home and Kirk broke wide
open and a third and fifteen conversion all the way
down to the thirty three yard line.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Kind of his Steelers a forty nine yard pickup. Forty
nine yard pickup.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
You know, while we were raging against the evaluations machine,
we didn't get around to talking about Kyle Dugger, but
when he first got here was being credited for helping
solidify things on the back end with Ramsey. By the
end of the Baltimore game, he was watching and Chuck
Clark was playing, and I think the only reason he
was playing at that juncture was because Chuck Clark got hurt.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
It's exactly And if you watch that play, he did
such a horrific job of capping that route and getting
a late start. It is mind boggling that he was
misplaying at that poorly. But he was not alone last night.
There are a lot of people miss playing on crucial downs.
(36:45):
You'll never play. You'll never miss, not with this defense
or this offense for that matter. And the number one
play of the game, I mean this Oklahoma, right, No Carosel.
You're the musical guy, not me. You like all of
that fruity stuff. Number one play of the game. We
all know what it was. You get this big man
(37:06):
touchdown on you. It's just hard to come back from
this morally.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
If nothing else, Rogers steps up, and Rogers is sacked,
and the ball is loose, and it's picked up by
Sheldon Rankins, and Rankins is sprinting down the field and
Rankins has scored Houston Texans touchdown.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
I hate that play more than any play in the
entire season. Third and twelve. They've done nothing all night.
What do you think is gonna happen if you go
empty spread there. I still think that's what's gonna happen.
I disagree with Jeans terrator two.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I mean he Aaron Rodgers clearly took a shot to
the head on that one. I think you got to
call it. That's why the rule is there. And if
you're not calling that, they don't even have the rule.
And yes, I do love show tunes. I mean, on
Friday night I watched That's the movie about Rogers and Hammerstein.
You know, I don't know that much. I'm I'm still
(38:03):
not as well. From Heaven to his daughter. Well, somebody
singing down to the Steeler's front office and tell them
to get people. I don't know. You don't know this stuff.
Uh No, you know a lot of old person stuff
for a guy. Yeah. Sometimes I thought you'd have known that.
It's a whiff. Not the super fruity stuff though, just
(38:24):
the regular Yeah, the cool musical stuff, yeah, Jesus Christ, superstar,
Tobby carouseling, Oklahoma. That's it. I mean, just an awful
end to the Steelers season last night at home in
front of a crowd that was ready to explode, Unlike
the week before, which was essentially a playoff game, win
(38:44):
and you're in. Tickets were not cheap. Getting into that
game was pricey last night, and they still put sixty
five thousand people into the stands.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Sixty seven, sixty seven, two and ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Sorry, just to sleep, deprived of all of you, and
nothing's making sense. Very few Texans fans though.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
You wouldn't have known that if you're doing the postgame
show and the other people left for Texans fans surrounding
the TV thing on the field.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
So you and Charlie were there to see all of that. Huh,
yes we were, man, How Lee, did you guys take
the post game too last night o'clock? Wow? Well, good
on you once again for getting an hour and a
half of sleep and coming in here and doing the
morning show after. Is this the fourth night game we've
had this year? I know it's the last. It is
a power hour with Rob King, voice of the Steelers,
(39:38):
the voice of all of those calls you just heard
here on the flagship TV. That's next.
Speaker 8 (39:43):
Chad Tyson turns your car into a sonic playground every
weekday afternoon. He's got a reloaded gun from the DV
morning show Sports and a Workforce Commercial Free Hour at
three afternoons with Chad Tyson on DV.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
Hey it's abby And just a while back, I had
zero res parked in front of my house because they
were doing an air duct cleaning for
