It's his studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is WDV Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
The Sleep Foundation recommends having a steady sleep schedule for
your regular sleep, having a regular bedtime routine, avoiding cappine
in the afternoon and evenings, not doom scrolling, and using
a sleep mask and ear plugs.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I do have a sleep mask, but I don't need
it on school nights. I only use it on the
weekend because the light appearing in the morning. But we
get have when it's you know, ass crack dark out there.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You know, Yeah, Sam, I can't be too comfortable on
the school.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Nights or also I won't get up and ear plugs.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I feel like is irresponsible if you're a parent.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I don't want the kids to be screaming for help
and I just can't hear them because I'm trying to
get eight solid hours.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Help.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
It's a.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Tad dug.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
A way for school.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Yeah, it's Tuesday, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You're not allowed to do anything as a parent.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You have to be on high alert all the time,
all the time until there's like there's like an age
where I think you finally get to like, what is
it like fifteen they turned fifteen?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Oh no, you got of problems then? Yeah, yeah, out
of the house.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah no, but like the first five years, you are
like a lifeguard at a wave pool where.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Nobody can swim. Yeah, so you're on you like you
can't have a conversation. Every conversation is a cliffhanger because
you're looking around.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
No, I hear what you say. Wait, where is she?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Where they go? Right? Oh, they're playing next to the traffic.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You're half having a conversation and wiping a booger with
another arm.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Both.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Yes, but now I'm still.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I mean even now Edie's nine, and even the sleep
things not a lock because I remember learning this, uh
when Bill and I were doing our parent cast that
when kids are even going through a developmental burst, like
(02:30):
a new a new skill set is emerging, they will
have major disruptions in their sleep.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
So all of those annoying.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Things that happen with parents were kids like I can't sleep,
I can't sleep, I can't sleep, and you're just thinking.
Speaker 8 (02:39):
Like, why are you messing with me right now?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It almost might be, if you want to look at
it in a positive way, that they are basically on
the cusp of some kind of breakthrough, like they're learning
a new skill set. They might be getting like some
kind of like new emotional skill set, they might be
on an academic skill set that they're that they're kind
of again.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Still wrestling with them exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So it's it's there's a positive side of that that
you can kind of glean, but at the same time,
you still have to ride that wave.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And now I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Getting you know, she is in my room all the
time through like eleven thirty. She's just like one more
thing and I'm really sorry, and oh my god, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Sorry, I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Apology.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
She does like we're we're kind of in this thing
where I'm recognizing I just.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
I'm in a codependent relationship with her.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I never yelled, are you supposed to be in a
codependent relationship?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I don't, I don't know you and I talked about
this a couple of weeks ago that like the phrase codependency.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
It's overused and often incorrectly.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yes, this is what I have understood it to me.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
It is when someone else who you are in a
relationship with does not have the capacity to regulate their
emotions in a way that requires you to then regulate
their emotions, which then makes your behavior. You have to
(04:16):
become smaller to accommodate them, and so it is a
mismatch of your own demeanor and then you have to
like kind of change and adjust your life to accommodate them.
So their inability to cope basically determines the temperature of.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
The household, if you will.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So, like somebody who let's say, had addiction issues would
be somebody that you know likely has a codependency in
their relationship because their their inability to cope with big
emotions is likely a source of their addiction, right right, ency,
So because of that, you know, dependency.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
They just love my Ron.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Drug. My husband is cope dependent.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
He makescept every morning.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Want But because of that, like the their emotions are
so big that you have to get smaller to accommodate,
and you like don't want to upset them because then
then you know, things go off the rails. So when
I jokingly say that my min a codependent relationship with
my daughter, there's parts of it that are kind of
true because like I won't like I'm trying to avoid
(05:36):
the fights, I'm trying to avoid.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
The explosion guarantee, no, because.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Sometimes I got my mom and my dad going like.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Make it hard for her every once in a while,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
But I will say that she is considered.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yesterday or two days ago, she called you to ask
if she could text.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You that it's true.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Welarious that is it was literally yesterday. She was like,
my phone's ringing. She's like, can text you?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh, Mike, that's so funny. I apologize in advance. Yeah,
can I text you?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, I will say the one thing about the younger
kids is we did a ramble a couple of weeks ago,
and three of the guys are new fathers, and every
one of them was super sick. There's like, it's just
you're just sick all the time. Everybody send them off
to a Petri dish. Yes, there's there's a daycare or school.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Think of how like disgusting A kid is honestly running
nose constantly, Like they're not covering their mouth, they're not
doing any protocols, they're not distancing.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, no, there's no hand washing.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yeah, they're crawling all over each other, licking each other's faces.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well in their immune system is like just learning, right,
so they like they take on every bug right, like
it's like a fresh palate, so every bug hits them.
And then they're like, oh, okay, well we've learned how
to deal with this and we'll knock it down in
the future, but right now you're.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So yeah, listen, everything in this room is particle board,
so I can't knock on wood. But at the same time,
Eadie going into daycare at six months old and having
gone for as long as she did, she was.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Sick every day. And I was thinking about that actually this.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Morning, because the moon was so beautiful, and every time
I see the moon, I think of her as a
little baby, because she always.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Used to go like dumb moo, And so.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Every time I see the moon, I always go the
moon because she would get miron coat did and myron
cope always.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
He said, a moon.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
She used to get crouped so frequently.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Okay, it was non stop, and one of the best
things to do for that, and you know, wake up
at two in the morning with croup, which is terrifying
his parent because it sounds so awful. But if you
put her in a coat, take her onto the deck
and just sit outside in the cold and let that like.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Cold air run through.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Just let it work out.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We've read there for a few hours. Go watch a movie.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, like, well, I don't know, I'm gonna go watch
to Day or but she would look up and she'd
be like the man.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But so like, but she got sick so much that
she never gets sick. Now, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
That's how it's done.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Besides done, Ever since they got us out of the
closet studio DV, we all stopped getting each other sick.
There was like, oh man, the original DV studio, what
I mean, we're not exactly in a palatial estate now,
but the original DV studio was we were right on
top of each other, and it was like everybody got
(08:42):
If someone got sick, it was like some of them
because you just knew you were gonna get sick in
like two days.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Do you remember those microphones?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I mean they were it was like, I feel like
there was a cold in there from Jimmy and.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Steve gave me the flame.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Didn't get each other sick more with the booger wall
in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
And.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I would take that bathroom over the one we have
to use now. No harm this. You can't even wash your.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Hands and maybe one of those will work.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
They have nice urinal cakes in this one.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
They have to because this toilets don't flush.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
They have like little like like ergonomic gelling pads to
stand on.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
If you will pee all over the ups. Guys come
in here and just wiz.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You can't do anything about that. But that last bathroom,
come on, man, that was all right?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That was it did at one point have an eruption
in it where black sludge came out of the ground
and the sink and the sinks and it covered all
of it. Not great, no, that that was great, But
it happened in the women's room too.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I believe there was a there was a toilet that
just wouldn't stop flushing and women's room it was just
a constant water fountain where you just walk in and
it was always still.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, but I was like, that's our water feature. It
was a tourist attraction.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Yeah, you could walk in mix.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, like what do we do in Pittsburgh? Will you
go to a falling water?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You go to the war All Museum, the never ending
toilet and green tre Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
What are you go going?
Speaker 9 (10:20):
On?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
News?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
This hour is brought to you by Keystone Basement system
Sweat Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot com. It's mostly sunny today
with the high of sixty two and the breaking news
that we mentioned at the end of last hour. Dick Cheney,
one of the most powerful vice presidents in United States history,
a chief architect of the war in Iraq after the
nine to eleven terrorist attacks, and a member of an
(10:41):
old Republican party guard that is quickly fading away, died
on Monday night. With his reputation at the warhawk. Cheney
heaped or helped lead the push under the President George W.
Bush to invade Iraq based on intelligence that Saddam Hussein
had a massed weapons of mass destruction.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Tapped by Bush as his two.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Thousand running mate for his decades of Washington experience.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Well hold on Bush asked him to go find a
vice president for him. He put him in charge of
the search, and guess what the search results came up.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I've found me.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know, I think you should get me what has
two thombsand should be your vice president me.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Chaney became a top target of Bush critics for the
enormous role he played in shaping the administration's foreign policy.
After his two terms as vice president ended in two
thousand and nine, Cheney became one of the nation's most
prominent Republicans to oppose Donald Trump, along with his daughter,
Liz Cheney, a former congresswoman.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Dick Cheney said that he voted.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
For Democrat Kamala Harris in the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I mean, when he was he was the most powerful
vice president ever. And when he was vice president, he
seemed like Darth Vader. And now now he's Joan Baiez.
Compared to what's going on, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
But you know, to your point, he did disappear.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
He did.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, he I mean, I don't don't think his influence
was but he was a pretty powerful dude for a
long time. But he just wasn't the face of the party.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
He also got sick. You know, he's sick.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
He shot a guy in the face with a shotguns
and the guy that got shot apologized to Dick Cheney,
Sorry I got in the way. You know what, you
had a perfectly good shot at that pheasant that a
guy let out of a cage for you to shoot,
and uh, here I am putting my face in the
way of your clean shot at that thing.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
My apology, sir, guys.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
How would you like, how would you accept an invitation
to go quail hunting with that guy?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
After that?
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
The weird thing about it because they were all on
like those and it's my understanding and maybe I'm wrong
about those are places that they just like stocked with birds.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Here.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Shoot, it wasn't like like a reserve.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Almost.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, it's like going fishing in a cannery.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah. No, that's tough.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
But but you know, you've got to just really dig
deep for excuses not to go at a certain point.
Oh no, man, with you, I would love I would
love more than anything to go quail honey.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Yeah, dude, this weekend is terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I have to get the secretary.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
I apologize. Scheduled to get hit by a bus.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yes, I'm getting curb stocked by the surgeon general.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Otherwise I will tell you. Election day is today in Pennsylvania.
The most prominent local contest is the race for Pittsburgh Mayor.
Incumbent Mayor at Gainey lost the Democratic primary in May,
leaving voters to choose a new leader for the city. Uh,
so that will be between O'Connor and Uh.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
That's right. So that's happening today.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
The retention bids of three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices are
also getting a lot of attention today. The Democratic leaning
groups supporting them appear to have raised and Spence.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now if it was.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Now, let's talk.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
The state does have an online fool to let voters
find their polling place by entering their address at PA
Voter Services.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Dot pa dot gov.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Also, if you head to the trib homepage today, that's

o'clock with his review of the World Series, which I'm
really looking forward to because we were just putting this
out there. Which performance was better Blast than seventy one
Yamamoto in twenty five?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Man, you know, the recency bias might creep in on this.
You know, two complete games is unbelievable. I don't think
anybody will ever do that again.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We'll talk to Steve see what he thinks.
Speaker 1 (15:32):

with Mike Tomlin teams.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I never do. I never do.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
It's they get you all the way back in and
then they go out to La lay An Egg and

Speaker 11 (17:44):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptional service.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
BRIDGEV Morning Show Mike sports Is are brought to you
by Bridgeville Appliance. Things look pretty good for the Penns
in Toronto after forty minutes. They had outshot to make
Beliefs seventeen to three in this second period and had
retired to the locker room after forty minutes with a.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Three to nothing lead.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
But the last twenty minutes remained to be played, and
the Maple Leafs found a switch and the Penguins never
could shut it off. Toronto gets four goals in ten
minutes and twelve seconds in the third and beats the
Penguins four to three. How unlikely a comeback is this
for the Maple Leafs, fourth time in franchise history. That
(18:29):
they had achieved a three goal comeback to win in regulation.
Really wow, that's surprised the hell out of me too, Bill,
because they.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Seem like a quick strike team, don't they, And they've
been down enough in games.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Yeah, it hadn't happened since March nineteenth, nineteen seventy seven.
The other two times that happened in Maple Leaf's history
were December the eighth, nineteen forty six and December the second,
nineteen forty three. Good Lord, to which the Penguins said, Ah,
we blowed a lot of three goal leads into third period.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah, you don't play us enough.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
What's a big deal?
Speaker 9 (19:06):
That's actually really out of character for this year's Penguin team.
They had been very good in third periods. So for
now a one off outlier, whatever it happens kind of deal.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And people were.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Really upset about that though, And I last night and
I just kind of thought, like, well, yeah, that's gonna
happen with this team.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
There's a lot of young guys out there.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
There are, including Ben Kindall, who scored two goals, his
fourth and fifth of the season.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He's on the power play.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
At the end of the game, he was out there
when they had the goalie pulled trying to get the
extra attack or tying goal. Dan Mwes is giving this
kid plenty a runway and he's taken off with it.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Good deal.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Pendil next to be in action on Thursday night here
against the Washington Capitals.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Monday Night Football for.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Those fortunate enough to watch it, or maybe not fortunate
enough that they could still watch it. Seven to seventeen
the Cardinals over the Cowboys. Cowboys are kind of a mess.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, what the hell is going on?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That defense is disgraceful Cardinals at three and five. Watched
about a two and a half quarters of that game,
and I've seen the Cardinals doing some advanced stuff with
my Steelers work.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
They're a pretty good team. They just can't finish. They've
had some agonizing losses on the way to three and five.
But Bucha, Kobe Prisett is playing good football. Maybe he's
a Steelers quarterback next year, he said, half kidding, Yeah,
but that.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Isn't he starting to get into the age demographic?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah he is? What is he a couple of years? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Maybe not next year?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Next year? Yeah, he still needs a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
But that is the way forward for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Now, I keep saying, the percentage of quarterbacks that get
drafted in like top fifteen that end up panning out
on their first contract seems to begin being fewer and fewer,
right or lower lower, rather and it's the Daniel Jones
is the Geno Smiths, the Sam Darnold, the Baker Mayfield
like after the time and experience, like let someone else
(21:13):
invest in their growth and then you pick them up when.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
They're sick and tired of them and watch them take off.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
The problem is there's a lot of guys that get
in that situation and stink, and then they just stink.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
They don't get better.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Like, do you think there's a world where justin Fields,
if he had some consistency in coaching, would be playing
a lot better right now?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
No, I'm out on fields. I was out on fields
at the end of last year. I just think he
has an incredible tool set and gifted with his legs.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Cannot you can also run with the ball? Really, Yeah,
he's got some legs. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
He might he might want to think about a position switch.
Oh I don't think he that guy. I think he
he'll be happy to be done playing maybe I think.
I don't think he loves football.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
He is a gifted runner. And I don't mean running quarterback.
I mean runner guy running with the football, very hard to.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Tackle between tackles. I don't see him doing that. You
gotta use him a wide out or something like that.
I don't know if he's going to do it. Pitch
it wide, nu'mp it down to him in the flat.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I could see him like moving to Europe. He's trying.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, he's like one of those guys where he's just
like he's interested in other things.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I don't know, but I did. I did feel bad
for him with the whole I.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Was crying in my closet last week. You know that's
tough to come back from him.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It is.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Steelers have released cornerback Being Bishop from their practice squad,
and according to Jeremy Fowler, Marquez Valdez Scantling is in
town and ready to sign with the Steelers practice squad.
Aaron Rodgers has been UH waiting all week for the
UH Marquez Valdez Scantling transaction. Apparently, Rogers was talking about
(22:59):
how much he'd be favorite such a move last week.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
I love NBS. I've always enjoyed playing with him. He's
one of my favorite teammates of all time.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yea, he is.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
A really special guy, and I think NBS can still
really play. He saw last year when he was in
New Orleans he had opportunities. He had a lot of
big touchdowns. He can still run. I think NBS wants
to be on an active roster, so if there wasn't
an opportunity here for that, then I guess he's waiting
for something else.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
But I don't fall to him.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
I love MBS, and whether he's here or somewhere else,
I'm always pulling for him.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And the thing about MVS is that you always have
to love about MBS is he's just he's like uniquely MBS.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
His receipts are too long.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
But other than that, you know, it's funny that you
hear these comments from Rogers and MVS didn't light it up.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
For New Orleans last year, Sure didn't.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
Jalen Warren was the Steelers complimentary back last year, and
Rogers talks about seeing these guys like he must just
watch a ton of football.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
But she doesn't strike me. He seems.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
Smarter than the average bear, Like he doesn't just go
home and watch games and tape and consolet.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I think he does. That's why I don't think he's
going to disappear. Well, I never thought he was gonna disappear.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
No, but hey, this is uh, you know, this can't
hurt bringing this guy in on the practice squad and
if Anita rises or they see a matchup where they
think he can be effective as a you know, pretty
much a one trick pony down the field guy who
might catch it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I just think I think it's yeah, I think no,
that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But I think he's deaf with he's death right because
you already have Kalvin Austin.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I don't think the NBS is any better than Calvin
Austen at the point, and then you have Roman Wilson
Ben Skarnik back there, like at this point, he's not
standing out in front of Calvin Austin.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
To me, this is protection against injury and that's it.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
Or or I mean a lot of their three receiver
sets the other day had either Roman Wilson or Skornic
in them. And if you're behind any game, do you
want to go maybe with this guy?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
And this guy's the Okay, they got to cover him down.
Speaker 9 (25:15):
What kind of blocker is MVS. I wouldn't imagine very
good MBS. Now MBS cares about blocking. Well, one thing
you have to know about that MBS. You know, E'smo's MBS.
The MVP of NBS is NBS NBS.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
But Skronik and Roman Wilson has, you know, actually started
to become a little bit better at blocking as well
as Gronik is like a stud at that.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
So see the clip on the Twitter of the Roman
Wilson fumble, and Scronic could be overheard on the mic saying.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Why the f r you jump? He's like he's agonizing,
He's not.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No, he got picked up on the mic because he's
walking off the field going why that are you jumping?
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Is he in the doghouse for that? Are We're going
to see a lot of rum and Wilson.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Now, I think you can afford to make that a
learning opportunity for him and give him one more chance.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
But I mean literally one more chance. They like the
trajectory was on, but that was a bad play. Fortunately
the game was kind of out of hand.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
But he was.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Fighting ghosts there. He's trying to do too much to
make up for the slow start.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And I don't even know why they were throwing there. No,
I know. I was actually shocked that they did, like
bleed the clock. Who cares?
Speaker 9 (26:26):
When Steels get to Los Angeles to play the Chargers
Sunday night, they won't have to worry about left tackle
Joe Alt. He's gonna undergo season ending surgery for a
high right ankle.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Spring.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Chargers already have lost the other starting tackle, over Sean Slater,
for the season, and they lost phil In Bobby Hart
last Sunday against Tennessee. So it's getting pretty thin at
tackle for the Chargers. That's not the bad news for
the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
No, he's left tackle, yes, so.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
They're gonna have replacements at left and right tack Herbing
and Hei Smith and who's over over there's got a
real chance to feast.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
I'm not falling for this again. This happens.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I feel like to the Steelers multiple times, but they're down, depleted, injured, backups,
back up, and we go, oh, well, there's gonna be
thirteen sacks in.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
This game, and they're like those guys play out of
their mind.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
They're like, uh, Jim Kbucky last week was bailing hey
in North Dakota.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Now he just introduced himself to his teammates as he
ran out on the field.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
No sacks for an exchange student, dwell k.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
He picked up the game on over here.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
The coaching the other team was in the Merchant Marine
for ten years, and now he's coaching the playoff game.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's crazy, Hey, Steve Blast is going to join us
to talk about the World Series?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Uh after eight o'clock is?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
We thought?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Who better to talk about? The pitching in the World
Series nineteen seventy one. Steve Blast's line in the World
Series two and oh eighteen innings. Pitched two wins, including
a complete game Game seven win one point five er
a allowed two runs seven hits in those complete games.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yamamoto three and oh.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
This year, in the era of one point zero two,
he pitched seventeen and two thirds innings, so a third
of an inning less than Steve fifteen strikeouts. First pitcher
with three road wins in a single World Series, first
pitcher to win both Game six and Game seven since
(28:44):
two thousand and one, so it had been done. I
guess was that chilling?
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Maybe I'm also guessing he's a first pitcher to win
three games in another country in a World Series.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It was that too complete Game two. It's hard to
do with the whole tariff thing. I mean, Abby's got

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Get us the platinum package.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Man. Yeah, yeah, we're not gonna do the the day thing,
that water thing, it's it's a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
You gotta get used to it.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well, then you sell toilet paper, you can.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
That's why, you know exactly exactly. Yeah, yeah, hand dryers
and bidets out. We don't do that.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
No, no, no, let's make an imprint on the environment, okay,
Gino and yes, sterotory sanitation for all your sanitation needs, GINO.
First question for you the fake punt from uh Well, well,
first let's start with the punt return. Why is it
that you can return u punt after it's been handled
(32:28):
and then fumbled, but not if it just hits a
player from the opposite team. What is the distinction in
the rule there that they think you shouldn't be able
to advance it.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Well, in the purest sense, a kick, a scrimmage kick
becomes a scrimmage kick that cannot be advanced by the
kicking team once the kick has crossed the original line
of scrimmage. If it's blocked behind the line of scrimmage,
either team.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Can pick the ball up in advance.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
The moment that the scrimmage kick crosses the neutral zone
or the previous spot, it is a kick, and it
remains a kick until there is a possession that is
taken by the receiving team at the end of that
kick a minute that that player catches that pump. Then
it becomes, basically an officiating world, a running play because
now you're working with a new segment. But if it's
(33:17):
only touched or muffed by a receiving team player, by definition,
you're still extending the kick because we haven't had a
definitive possession change. So in those cases, it's a kick,
which we know, just like an onside kick that goes
ten yards, it can be recovered by the kicking team,
but not advanced. So that's kind of the gist in
the referee nerdy world that's a kick remains a kick
(33:40):
until it's possessed by in this case in a punt
by the receiving team, and then you're basically officiating now
a running play.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I get the gist of the rule.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I guess I'm having trouble understanding why there needs to
be a distinction there between the two things, Like, you know,
like it would seem to me, I guess it's like, oh,
it's still a kick if you're able to If it's
still a kick, but you're able.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
To change possession, that's not still a kick anymore, you know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
We could probably talk about that forever like that, but
but it seems to me to be unnecessarily distinctive.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Yeah, it's like, let us take it home though you
you touched it, yeah right, you know, and it's not ours,
so we're gonna take it and we're going to taking
it home.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
So yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Now, what about the fake punt formation the Colts used
against the Steelers?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yeah, anything, walk me through like kind of you know,
I didn't get the detail of it. I mean, you're
talking about the one that they went for on their
own side.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Of the football.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Yeah. Right.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
And then the rules about correct number of people on
the line of scrimmage still flies.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Well yeah, and once you once you define yourself that
you're are in scrimmage kick formation, uh, then you can
have numbering exceptions because you now have a player that's
ten yards behind the ball punter that's in a normal
scrimmage kick formation. When you then shift back out of
that and get into a regular scrimmage play, now the
(35:05):
numbering exception is.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
No longer viable.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
You now have to have.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Five fifty through seventy nine on the line of scrimmage.
It can be spread out, but we have to have
five fifty through seventy nine. And then they have to
meet the other requirements because you are moving from a
scrimmage kick which has exceptions to allow players that have
different you know, the lower numbers that can get down
the field to basically working back into an offensive play
in the moment you make that transition. Now you have
(35:30):
to abide by the rules that allow you to do
a regular scrimmage Kicker, I'm sorry, regular you know, a
regular down play basically, right. So, so there's those nuances
in there which they have manipulated and played with so
much that that they've kind of clamped down a little
more on how they're doing it, because the creativity.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Is where it is.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Gene.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
There was another interesting I'm not sure why you're not
allowed to do this moment in the Chief Bills game
that you were working. Pat Mahomes gets a grounding call
on a ball that was tipped and then Andy Reid
tries to challenge it, and they say that's not challengeable.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (36:09):
You know, when there are those times and as I
said on air, you know, you kind of get caught
a little bit, right. I mean, I've been around twenty
six twenty seven years. I have never had a play
as a referee, and in those years are never seen
a training tape for that matter of that scenario happen,
especially as replay and replay assists and information now has
(36:31):
grown way more than when I refereed I was working
in an unknown bucket there, quite honest, man. When I
saw Andy Reid throw the flag, my first instinct was, listen,
we can help with the touching of a pass as
it relates to pass interference.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
We call pass interference.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Hey, the ball was tipped up by there a defensive
tackle tip the ball, then if it's tipped before the
foul occurs in that situation, they're absolved in the past interference.
We can review the touching of a scrimmage kick. If
you block a punt and russ the kicker, and now
you look back and replay and see he tipped that
ball and then he hit the punter, he's absolved of
(37:06):
roughing the punter in that scenario. I never really had it.
And then I'm morphed into Okay, let's get rid of
replay and let's do this like we used to do
in the real world and referee just by the seven
people down on the field. If I would have thrown
a flag for intentional grounding as a referee, and someone
on my crew ran to me and had that beautiful
conference we all love and said, Geane, I had that
(37:28):
ball tipped by that linebacker, I would have picked my
flag up. I mean, I wouldn't have had the second
third level conversation, well, did it just graze him? Did
it touch his hand and still fell in an area
where there was a receiver. I know if I were
on the field and had that play happen and someone
come to me and say I got a tip, I
would have just picked the flag up because I don't
want to get into the second third layers. And we
(37:51):
all know that we don't call intentional grounding when a
quarterback throws the ball in the eighteenth row behind the
end zone because there was a receiver in the area, right,
So we've always been liberal. My thought in real time was, look,
we can review touching of footballs and other scenarios here
to get this play right in my opinion. Right, So
when Andy threw that, I had no precedent to go
(38:13):
back on, but I was just working through. Look, this
is a definitive element of reviewing something that you can
definitely do.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Let's use it.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
I mean, why wouldn't we use that in that scenario?
And sometimes in the flow of these games, you get
these really crazy scenarios that may not be in that book.
In a very singular worded area, item and you either,
you know, take that rule and you apply it what
I think would have been correctly, or maybe what happens
(38:43):
now is in April when the competition committee meets, it's
another ad to the book, which you'll add another page
of the rule book too, and say, in this situation
it is reviewable, we can assist. And that's kind of
where I went with it. I felt like, just because
we've grown so much with this technology, which is a terrible,
then let's apply it if it is applicable in a
(39:03):
way where you know, it's it's an automatic. So that's
kind of where I fell with it. But it did
catch me off guard. And you know that's gonna happen
to yes in this business that I do know, you.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Know, yeah, you know it strikes me. We're going to
talk with and no penitentic. So I'm changing the baseball here.
We're going to talk with Steve Blast when we come back.
The stereotors have reft basketball and football. Why is no humping?
Why stopping umping?
Speaker 6 (39:29):
No clock ran, no clock? Whatever? They didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
You wanted to be home itself, right, you know what
I mean? Let's the boys.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
I mean, if somebody can't get a base in here,
I'm not playing eleven, in playing twelve and block up there.
I gotta be able to work on a clock. I
sat baseball, you know, Washington Tau baseball, capital of pony baseball,
had two beautiful boys and a daughter who was really
good in softball too. I enjoyed sitting on the batting
(40:00):
practice bucket of balls and calling pitchers and bitching at
the umpires. Man. I mean, I really enjoyed that part.
I decided that in that sport, we'll just sit, we'll
choose sunflower seats, and we'll yell at the yump And
it was therapy for me. I got the the.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
But when you talk to Blast, the one thing I
do want to know is why is the guy on
second base twenty feet off a second base is loaded
in one out? How did you get double played in
that situation?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
And youth baseball, and.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
I wouldn't be happy with the eight year old if
he was nine feet off a second base. That's a billy,
We got it. Come here, billy, have an ice cream,
but your run doesn't matter. Billy, right and play like
you did in right field for the last three inning.
I mean, I don't need you.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
To go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Its how much of that little league mentality these guys
forget just the basic rules and force outs and things.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I'll do you one better, Jeene. How don't slide at
home plate?
Speaker 6 (41:02):
Yes, exactly, man, no question about it. I mean that
game was so amazing that the last two innings of
that game. I think someone made a comment during the game,
like there's a T shirt. You know this is gonna
be a T shirt. Two players colliding near the fence, Yes,
and you know, make a great catch and then what
was it like the next batter you got to slide
and replay he lifts his foot, he puts his foot
(41:24):
back down. You know, we're within two camera frames of
the World Series changing, and then you get a guy
that's twelve feet off a second based on it, Like, dude,
what what are you doing here? Don't ruin it like this.
I mean it was the crescendo was coming and you
got doubled up on a on a pinto league play.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, I mean it's amazing, you gino.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
They could have used your your index card when they
were trying to determine if that was a wedged ball
in the outfield.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
You know, oh yeah, the outfield, the wedgie. How would
it came and slipped that index card underneath that catcher's
foot too, like you, that went underneath it didn't touch
the prices off the plate. Let's do it again, and
can I smirk just one more time, you know, just.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
For the heck of it.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, it would have been a beautiful smirk. One more,
one more smirk. That would have been the that would
have been the shirt, the sterotory smirk. Jeans Saratar brought

No, I hear what you say. Wait, where is she?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Where they go? Right? Oh, they're playing next to the traffic.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You're half having a conversation and wiping a booger with
another arm.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Both.
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Yes, but now I'm still.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I mean even now Edie's nine, and even the sleep
things not a lock because I remember learning this, uh
when Bill and I were doing our parent cast that
when kids are even going through a developmental burst, like
(02:30):
a new a new skill set is emerging, they will
have major disruptions in their sleep.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
So all of those annoying.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Things that happen with parents were kids like I can't sleep,
I can't sleep, I can't sleep, and you're just thinking.
Speaker 8 (02:39):
Like, why are you messing with me right now?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It almost might be, if you want to look at
it in a positive way, that they are basically on
the cusp of some kind of breakthrough, like they're learning
a new skill set. They might be getting like some
kind of like new emotional skill set, they might be
on an academic skill set that they're that they're kind
of again.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Still wrestling with them exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
So it's it's there's a positive side of that that
you can kind of glean, but at the same time,
you still have to ride that wave.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And now I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Getting you know, she is in my room all the
time through like eleven thirty. She's just like one more
thing and I'm really sorry, and oh my god, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Sorry, I'm really sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Apology.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
She does like we're we're kind of in this thing
where I'm recognizing I just.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
I'm in a codependent relationship with her.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I never yelled, are you supposed to be in a
codependent relationship?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I don't, I don't know you and I talked about
this a couple of weeks ago that like the phrase codependency.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
It's overused and often incorrectly.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yes, this is what I have understood it to me.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
It is when someone else who you are in a
relationship with does not have the capacity to regulate their
emotions in a way that requires you to then regulate
their emotions, which then makes your behavior. You have to
(04:16):
become smaller to accommodate them, and so it is a
mismatch of your own demeanor and then you have to
like kind of change and adjust your life to accommodate them.
So their inability to cope basically determines the temperature of.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
The household, if you will.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So, like somebody who let's say, had addiction issues would
be somebody that you know likely has a codependency in
their relationship because their their inability to cope with big
emotions is likely a source of their addiction, right right, ency,
So because of that, you know, dependency.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
They just love my Ron.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Drug. My husband is cope dependent.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
He makescept every morning.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Want But because of that, like the their emotions are
so big that you have to get smaller to accommodate,
and you like don't want to upset them because then
then you know, things go off the rails. So when
I jokingly say that my min a codependent relationship with
my daughter, there's parts of it that are kind of
true because like I won't like I'm trying to avoid
(05:36):
the fights, I'm trying to avoid.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
The explosion guarantee, no, because.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Sometimes I got my mom and my dad going like.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Make it hard for her every once in a while,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
But I will say that she is considered.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yesterday or two days ago, she called you to ask
if she could text.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You that it's true.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Welarious that is it was literally yesterday. She was like,
my phone's ringing. She's like, can text you?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh, Mike, that's so funny. I apologize in advance. Yeah,
can I text you?
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, I will say the one thing about the younger
kids is we did a ramble a couple of weeks ago,
and three of the guys are new fathers, and every
one of them was super sick. There's like, it's just
you're just sick all the time. Everybody send them off
to a Petri dish. Yes, there's there's a daycare or school.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Think of how like disgusting A kid is honestly running
nose constantly, Like they're not covering their mouth, they're not
doing any protocols, they're not distancing.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, no, there's no hand washing.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yeah, they're crawling all over each other, licking each other's faces.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well in their immune system is like just learning, right,
so they like they take on every bug right, like
it's like a fresh palate, so every bug hits them.
And then they're like, oh, okay, well we've learned how
to deal with this and we'll knock it down in
the future, but right now you're.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So yeah, listen, everything in this room is particle board,
so I can't knock on wood. But at the same time,
Eadie going into daycare at six months old and having
gone for as long as she did, she was.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Sick every day. And I was thinking about that actually this.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Morning, because the moon was so beautiful, and every time
I see the moon, I think of her as a
little baby, because she always.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Used to go like dumb moo, And so.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
Every time I see the moon, I always go the
moon because she would get miron coat did and myron
cope always.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
He said, a moon.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
She used to get crouped so frequently.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Okay, it was non stop, and one of the best
things to do for that, and you know, wake up
at two in the morning with croup, which is terrifying
his parent because it sounds so awful. But if you
put her in a coat, take her onto the deck
and just sit outside in the cold and let that like.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Cold air run through.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
Just let it work out.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We've read there for a few hours. Go watch a movie.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, like, well, I don't know, I'm gonna go watch
to Day or but she would look up and she'd
be like the man.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But so like, but she got sick so much that
she never gets sick. Now, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
That's how it's done.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Besides done, Ever since they got us out of the
closet studio DV, we all stopped getting each other sick.
There was like, oh man, the original DV studio, what
I mean, we're not exactly in a palatial estate now,
but the original DV studio was we were right on
top of each other, and it was like everybody got
(08:42):
If someone got sick, it was like some of them
because you just knew you were gonna get sick in
like two days.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Do you remember those microphones?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I mean they were it was like, I feel like
there was a cold in there from Jimmy and.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Steve gave me the flame.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Didn't get each other sick more with the booger wall
in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
And.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I would take that bathroom over the one we have
to use now. No harm this. You can't even wash your.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Hands and maybe one of those will work.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
They have nice urinal cakes in this one.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
They have to because this toilets don't flush.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
They have like little like like ergonomic gelling pads to
stand on.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
If you will pee all over the ups. Guys come
in here and just wiz.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You can't do anything about that. But that last bathroom,
come on, man, that was all right?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That was it did at one point have an eruption
in it where black sludge came out of the ground
and the sink and the sinks and it covered all
of it. Not great, no, that that was great, But
it happened in the women's room too.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I believe there was a there was a toilet that
just wouldn't stop flushing and women's room it was just
a constant water fountain where you just walk in and
it was always still.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, but I was like, that's our water feature. It
was a tourist attraction.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Yeah, you could walk in mix.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yes, like what do we do in Pittsburgh? Will you
go to a falling water?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You go to the war All Museum, the never ending
toilet and green tre Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
What are you go going?
Speaker 9 (10:20):
On?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
News?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
This hour is brought to you by Keystone Basement system
Sweat Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot com. It's mostly sunny today
with the high of sixty two and the breaking news
that we mentioned at the end of last hour. Dick Cheney,
one of the most powerful vice presidents in United States history,
a chief architect of the war in Iraq after the
nine to eleven terrorist attacks, and a member of an
(10:41):
old Republican party guard that is quickly fading away, died
on Monday night. With his reputation at the warhawk. Cheney
heaped or helped lead the push under the President George W.
Bush to invade Iraq based on intelligence that Saddam Hussein
had a massed weapons of mass destruction.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Tapped by Bush as his two.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Thousand running mate for his decades of Washington experience.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Well hold on Bush asked him to go find a
vice president for him. He put him in charge of
the search, and guess what the search results came up.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I've found me.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know, I think you should get me what has
two thombsand should be your vice president me.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Chaney became a top target of Bush critics for the
enormous role he played in shaping the administration's foreign policy.
After his two terms as vice president ended in two
thousand and nine, Cheney became one of the nation's most
prominent Republicans to oppose Donald Trump, along with his daughter,
Liz Cheney, a former congresswoman.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Dick Cheney said that he voted.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
For Democrat Kamala Harris in the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I mean, when he was he was the most powerful
vice president ever. And when he was vice president, he
seemed like Darth Vader. And now now he's Joan Baiez.
Compared to what's going on, it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
But you know, to your point, he did disappear.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
He did.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, he I mean, I don't don't think his influence
was but he was a pretty powerful dude for a
long time. But he just wasn't the face of the party.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
He also got sick. You know, he's sick.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
He shot a guy in the face with a shotguns
and the guy that got shot apologized to Dick Cheney,
Sorry I got in the way. You know what, you
had a perfectly good shot at that pheasant that a
guy let out of a cage for you to shoot,
and uh, here I am putting my face in the
way of your clean shot at that thing.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
My apology, sir, guys.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
How would you like, how would you accept an invitation
to go quail hunting with that guy?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
After that?
Speaker 6 (12:48):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
The weird thing about it because they were all on
like those and it's my understanding and maybe I'm wrong
about those are places that they just like stocked with birds.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Here.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Shoot, it wasn't like like a reserve.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Almost.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, it's like going fishing in a cannery.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah. No, that's tough.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
But but you know, you've got to just really dig
deep for excuses not to go at a certain point.
Oh no, man, with you, I would love I would
love more than anything to go quail honey.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Yeah, dude, this weekend is terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I have to get the secretary.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I'm getting run over by the Secretary of Transportation that weekend.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I apologize. Scheduled to get hit by a bus.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yes, I'm getting curb stocked by the surgeon general.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Otherwise I will tell you. Election day is today in Pennsylvania.
The most prominent local contest is the race for Pittsburgh Mayor.
Incumbent Mayor at Gainey lost the Democratic primary in May,
leaving voters to choose a new leader for the city. Uh,
so that will be between O'Connor and Uh.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
That's right. So that's happening today.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
The retention bids of three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices are
also getting a lot of attention today. The Democratic leaning
groups supporting them appear to have raised and Spence.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Now if it was.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Now, let's talk.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
The state does have an online fool to let voters
find their polling place by entering their address at PA
Voter Services.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Dot pa dot gov.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Also, if you head to the trib homepage today, that's
going to take you directly to the input page too.
They have a really great voter guide that's ready to
go for you. And if you're like me and you
have a mail in ballot that you filled.

return it, you can go to Alleghany County dot us.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And then Janni Morino, I said, Doug, who's Doug Marine?
I don't know. He's a dude.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I know him. He's from Carrick. He's a nice guy.
I'm voting for him.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Write them in.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Seo played for the Broncos pretty decent. Yeah, cried a lot.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
Leslie Sunday today it's a highest sixty two.

So Steve Blast is going to join us at eight
o'clock with his review of the World Series, which I'm
really looking forward to because we were just putting this
out there. Which performance was better Blast than seventy one
Yamamoto in twenty five?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Man, you know, the recency bias might creep in on this.
You know, two complete games is unbelievable. I don't think
anybody will ever do that again.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We'll talk to Steve see what he thinks.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Mike's gonna be joining us here in a little bit
as the Steelers get set for the Chargers in a
new lease on life.

Here for your Pittsburgh Steelers with a win over the Colts.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I don't know who this team is yet. I don't
know who this team is. And this is my problem
with Mike Tomlin teams.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I never do. I never do.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
It's they get you all the way back in and
then they go out to La lay An Egg and
you're out, and they come home against the Bank, you're
back in.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's like dating a crazy chick, you know. Yeah, it's
going to fisz.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Yeah, yeah, because they're all crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Right, they're all crazy.
Speaker 8 (16:16):

crazy person.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Thanks buddy. Okay, okay, it's like dating a crazy say them.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I don't know right, it's like dating somebody non binary.
I want to take back this analogy immediately. I recused
myself innsation this analogy.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
It's like dating a pan sexual man.

Speaker 11 (17:44):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptional service.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
BRIDGEV Morning Show Mike sports Is are brought to you
by Bridgeville Appliance. Things look pretty good for the Penns
in Toronto after forty minutes. They had outshot to make
Beliefs seventeen to three in this second period and had
retired to the locker room after forty minutes with a.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Three to nothing lead.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
But the last twenty minutes remained to be played, and
the Maple Leafs found a switch and the Penguins never
could shut it off. Toronto gets four goals in ten
minutes and twelve seconds in the third and beats the
Penguins four to three. How unlikely a comeback is this
for the Maple Leafs, fourth time in franchise history. That
(18:29):
they had achieved a three goal comeback to win in regulation.
Really wow, that's surprised the hell out of me too, Bill,
because they.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Seem like a quick strike team, don't they, And they've
been down enough in games.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Yeah, it hadn't happened since March nineteenth, nineteen seventy seven.
The other two times that happened in Maple Leaf's history
were December the eighth, nineteen forty six and December the second,
nineteen forty three. Good Lord, to which the Penguins said, Ah,
we blowed a lot of three goal leads into third period.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yeah, you don't play us enough.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
What's a big deal?
Speaker 9 (19:06):
That's actually really out of character for this year's Penguin team.
They had been very good in third periods. So for
now a one off outlier, whatever it happens kind of deal.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And people were.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Really upset about that though, And I last night and
I just kind of thought, like, well, yeah, that's gonna
happen with this team.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
There's a lot of young guys out there.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
There are, including Ben Kindall, who scored two goals, his
fourth and fifth of the season.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He's on the power play.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
At the end of the game, he was out there
when they had the goalie pulled trying to get the
extra attack or tying goal. Dan Mwes is giving this
kid plenty a runway and he's taken off with it.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Good deal.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Pendil next to be in action on Thursday night here
against the Washington Capitals.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Monday Night Football for.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Those fortunate enough to watch it, or maybe not fortunate
enough that they could still watch it. Seven to seventeen
the Cardinals over the Cowboys. Cowboys are kind of a mess.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, what the hell is going on?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That defense is disgraceful Cardinals at three and five. Watched
about a two and a half quarters of that game,
and I've seen the Cardinals doing some advanced stuff with
my Steelers work.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
They're a pretty good team. They just can't finish. They've
had some agonizing losses on the way to three and five.
But Bucha, Kobe Prisett is playing good football. Maybe he's
a Steelers quarterback next year, he said, half kidding, Yeah,
but that.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Isn't he starting to get into the age demographic?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah he is? What is he a couple of years? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Maybe not next year?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Next year? Yeah, he still needs a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
But that is the way forward for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Now, I keep saying, the percentage of quarterbacks that get
drafted in like top fifteen that end up panning out
on their first contract seems to begin being fewer and fewer,
right or lower lower, rather and it's the Daniel Jones
is the Geno Smiths, the Sam Darnold, the Baker Mayfield
like after the time and experience, like let someone else
(21:13):
invest in their growth and then you pick them up when.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
They're sick and tired of them and watch them take off.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
The problem is there's a lot of guys that get
in that situation and stink, and then they just stink.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
They don't get better.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Like, do you think there's a world where justin Fields,
if he had some consistency in coaching, would be playing
a lot better right now?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
No, I'm out on fields. I was out on fields
at the end of last year. I just think he
has an incredible tool set and gifted with his legs.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Cannot you can also run with the ball? Really, Yeah,
he's got some legs. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
He might he might want to think about a position switch.
Oh I don't think he that guy. I think he
he'll be happy to be done playing maybe I think.
I don't think he loves football.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
He is a gifted runner. And I don't mean running quarterback.
I mean runner guy running with the football, very hard to.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Tackle between tackles. I don't see him doing that. You
gotta use him a wide out or something like that.
I don't know if he's going to do it. Pitch
it wide, nu'mp it down to him in the flat.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I could see him like moving to Europe. He's trying.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, he's like one of those guys where he's just
like he's interested in other things.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I don't know, but I did. I did feel bad
for him with the whole I.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Was crying in my closet last week. You know that's
tough to come back from him.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It is.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Steelers have released cornerback Being Bishop from their practice squad,
and according to Jeremy Fowler, Marquez Valdez Scantling is in
town and ready to sign with the Steelers practice squad.
Aaron Rodgers has been UH waiting all week for the
UH Marquez Valdez Scantling transaction. Apparently, Rogers was talking about
(22:59):
how much he'd be favorite such a move last week.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
I love NBS. I've always enjoyed playing with him. He's
one of my favorite teammates of all time.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yea, he is.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
A really special guy, and I think NBS can still
really play. He saw last year when he was in
New Orleans he had opportunities. He had a lot of
big touchdowns. He can still run. I think NBS wants
to be on an active roster, so if there wasn't
an opportunity here for that, then I guess he's waiting
for something else.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
But I don't fall to him.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
I love MBS, and whether he's here or somewhere else,
I'm always pulling for him.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And the thing about MVS is that you always have
to love about MBS is he's just he's like uniquely MBS.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
His receipts are too long.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
But other than that, you know, it's funny that you
hear these comments from Rogers and MVS didn't light it up.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
For New Orleans last year, Sure didn't.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
Jalen Warren was the Steelers complimentary back last year, and
Rogers talks about seeing these guys like he must just
watch a ton of football.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
But she doesn't strike me. He seems.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
Smarter than the average bear, Like he doesn't just go
home and watch games and tape and consolet.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I think he does. That's why I don't think he's
going to disappear. Well, I never thought he was gonna disappear.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
No, but hey, this is uh, you know, this can't
hurt bringing this guy in on the practice squad and
if Anita rises or they see a matchup where they
think he can be effective as a you know, pretty
much a one trick pony down the field guy who
might catch it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I just think I think it's yeah, I think no,
that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But I think he's deaf with he's death right because
you already have Kalvin Austin.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I don't think the NBS is any better than Calvin
Austen at the point, and then you have Roman Wilson
Ben Skarnik back there, like at this point, he's not
standing out in front of Calvin Austin.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
To me, this is protection against injury and that's it.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
Or or I mean a lot of their three receiver
sets the other day had either Roman Wilson or Skornic
in them. And if you're behind any game, do you
want to go maybe with this guy?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
And this guy's the Okay, they got to cover him down.
Speaker 9 (25:15):
What kind of blocker is MVS. I wouldn't imagine very
good MBS. Now MBS cares about blocking. Well, one thing
you have to know about that MBS. You know, E'smo's MBS.
The MVP of NBS is NBS NBS.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
But Skronik and Roman Wilson has, you know, actually started
to become a little bit better at blocking as well
as Gronik is like a stud at that.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
So see the clip on the Twitter of the Roman
Wilson fumble, and Scronic could be overheard on the mic saying.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Why the f r you jump? He's like he's agonizing,
He's not.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
No, he got picked up on the mic because he's
walking off the field going why that are you jumping?
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Is he in the doghouse for that? Are We're going
to see a lot of rum and Wilson.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Now, I think you can afford to make that a
learning opportunity for him and give him one more chance.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
But I mean literally one more chance. They like the
trajectory was on, but that was a bad play. Fortunately
the game was kind of out of hand.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
But he was.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Fighting ghosts there. He's trying to do too much to
make up for the slow start.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And I don't even know why they were throwing there. No,
I know. I was actually shocked that they did, like
bleed the clock. Who cares?
Speaker 9 (26:26):
When Steels get to Los Angeles to play the Chargers
Sunday night, they won't have to worry about left tackle
Joe Alt. He's gonna undergo season ending surgery for a
high right ankle.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Spring.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Chargers already have lost the other starting tackle, over Sean Slater,
for the season, and they lost phil In Bobby Hart
last Sunday against Tennessee. So it's getting pretty thin at
tackle for the Chargers. That's not the bad news for
the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
No, he's left tackle, yes, so.
Speaker 9 (27:01):
They're gonna have replacements at left and right tack Herbing
and Hei Smith and who's over over there's got a
real chance to feast.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
I'm not falling for this again. This happens.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
I feel like to the Steelers multiple times, but they're down, depleted, injured, backups,
back up, and we go, oh, well, there's gonna be
thirteen sacks in.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
This game, and they're like those guys play out of
their mind.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
They're like, uh, Jim Kbucky last week was bailing hey
in North Dakota.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Now he just introduced himself to his teammates as he
ran out on the field.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
No sacks for an exchange student, dwell k.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
He picked up the game on over here.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
The coaching the other team was in the Merchant Marine
for ten years, and now he's coaching the playoff game.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's crazy, Hey, Steve Blast is going to join us
to talk about the World Series?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Uh after eight o'clock is?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
We thought?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Who better to talk about? The pitching in the World
Series nineteen seventy one. Steve Blast's line in the World
Series two and oh eighteen innings. Pitched two wins, including
a complete game Game seven win one point five er
a allowed two runs seven hits in those complete games.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yamamoto three and oh.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
This year, in the era of one point zero two,
he pitched seventeen and two thirds innings, so a third
of an inning less than Steve fifteen strikeouts. First pitcher
with three road wins in a single World Series, first
pitcher to win both Game six and Game seven since
(28:44):
two thousand and one, so it had been done. I
guess was that chilling?
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Maybe I'm also guessing he's a first pitcher to win
three games in another country in a World Series.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It was that too complete Game two. It's hard to
do with the whole tariff thing. I mean, Abby's got

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Get us the platinum package.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Man. Yeah, yeah, we're not gonna do the the day thing,
that water thing, it's it's a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
You gotta get used to it.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well, then you sell toilet paper, you can.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
That's why, you know exactly exactly. Yeah, yeah, hand dryers
and bidets out. We don't do that.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
No, no, no, let's make an imprint on the environment, okay,
Gino and yes, sterotory sanitation for all your sanitation needs, GINO.
First question for you the fake punt from uh Well, well,
first let's start with the punt return. Why is it
that you can return u punt after it's been handled
(32:28):
and then fumbled, but not if it just hits a
player from the opposite team. What is the distinction in
the rule there that they think you shouldn't be able
to advance it.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Well, in the purest sense, a kick, a scrimmage kick
becomes a scrimmage kick that cannot be advanced by the
kicking team once the kick has crossed the original line
of scrimmage. If it's blocked behind the line of scrimmage,
either team.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Can pick the ball up in advance.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
The moment that the scrimmage kick crosses the neutral zone
or the previous spot, it is a kick, and it
remains a kick until there is a possession that is
taken by the receiving team at the end of that
kick a minute that that player catches that pump. Then
it becomes, basically an officiating world, a running play because
now you're working with a new segment. But if it's
(33:17):
only touched or muffed by a receiving team player, by definition,
you're still extending the kick because we haven't had a
definitive possession change. So in those cases, it's a kick,
which we know, just like an onside kick that goes
ten yards, it can be recovered by the kicking team,
but not advanced. So that's kind of the gist in
the referee nerdy world that's a kick remains a kick
(33:40):
until it's possessed by in this case in a punt
by the receiving team, and then you're basically officiating now
a running play.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I get the gist of the rule.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I guess I'm having trouble understanding why there needs to
be a distinction there between the two things, Like, you know,
like it would seem to me, I guess it's like, oh,
it's still a kick if you're able to If it's
still a kick, but you're able.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
To change possession, that's not still a kick anymore, you know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
We could probably talk about that forever like that, but
but it seems to me to be unnecessarily distinctive.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Yeah, it's like, let us take it home though you
you touched it, yeah right, you know, and it's not ours,
so we're gonna take it and we're going to taking
it home.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
So yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Now, what about the fake punt formation the Colts used
against the Steelers?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Yeah, anything, walk me through like kind of you know,
I didn't get the detail of it. I mean, you're
talking about the one that they went for on their
own side.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Of the football.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
Yeah. Right.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
And then the rules about correct number of people on
the line of scrimmage still flies.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Well yeah, and once you once you define yourself that
you're are in scrimmage kick formation, uh, then you can
have numbering exceptions because you now have a player that's
ten yards behind the ball punter that's in a normal
scrimmage kick formation. When you then shift back out of
that and get into a regular scrimmage play, now the
(35:05):
numbering exception is.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
No longer viable.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
You now have to have.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Five fifty through seventy nine on the line of scrimmage.
It can be spread out, but we have to have
five fifty through seventy nine. And then they have to
meet the other requirements because you are moving from a
scrimmage kick which has exceptions to allow players that have
different you know, the lower numbers that can get down
the field to basically working back into an offensive play
in the moment you make that transition. Now you have
(35:30):
to abide by the rules that allow you to do
a regular scrimmage Kicker, I'm sorry, regular you know, a
regular down play basically, right. So, so there's those nuances
in there which they have manipulated and played with so
much that that they've kind of clamped down a little
more on how they're doing it, because the creativity.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Is where it is.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Gene.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
There was another interesting I'm not sure why you're not
allowed to do this moment in the Chief Bills game
that you were working. Pat Mahomes gets a grounding call
on a ball that was tipped and then Andy Reid
tries to challenge it, and they say that's not challengeable.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (36:09):
You know, when there are those times and as I
said on air, you know, you kind of get caught
a little bit, right. I mean, I've been around twenty
six twenty seven years. I have never had a play
as a referee, and in those years are never seen
a training tape for that matter of that scenario happen,
especially as replay and replay assists and information now has
(36:31):
grown way more than when I refereed I was working
in an unknown bucket there, quite honest, man. When I
saw Andy Reid throw the flag, my first instinct was, listen,
we can help with the touching of a pass as
it relates to pass interference.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
We call pass interference.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Hey, the ball was tipped up by there a defensive
tackle tip the ball, then if it's tipped before the
foul occurs in that situation, they're absolved in the past interference.
We can review the touching of a scrimmage kick. If
you block a punt and russ the kicker, and now
you look back and replay and see he tipped that
ball and then he hit the punter, he's absolved of
(37:06):
roughing the punter in that scenario. I never really had it.
And then I'm morphed into Okay, let's get rid of
replay and let's do this like we used to do
in the real world and referee just by the seven
people down on the field. If I would have thrown
a flag for intentional grounding as a referee, and someone
on my crew ran to me and had that beautiful
conference we all love and said, Geane, I had that
(37:28):
ball tipped by that linebacker, I would have picked my
flag up. I mean, I wouldn't have had the second
third level conversation, well, did it just graze him? Did
it touch his hand and still fell in an area
where there was a receiver. I know if I were
on the field and had that play happen and someone
come to me and say I got a tip, I
would have just picked the flag up because I don't
want to get into the second third layers. And we
(37:51):
all know that we don't call intentional grounding when a
quarterback throws the ball in the eighteenth row behind the
end zone because there was a receiver in the area, right,
So we've always been liberal. My thought in real time was, look,
we can review touching of footballs and other scenarios here
to get this play right in my opinion. Right, So
when Andy threw that, I had no precedent to go
(38:13):
back on, but I was just working through. Look, this
is a definitive element of reviewing something that you can
definitely do.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Let's use it.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
I mean, why wouldn't we use that in that scenario?
And sometimes in the flow of these games, you get
these really crazy scenarios that may not be in that book.
In a very singular worded area, item and you either,
you know, take that rule and you apply it what
I think would have been correctly, or maybe what happens
(38:43):
now is in April when the competition committee meets, it's
another ad to the book, which you'll add another page
of the rule book too, and say, in this situation
it is reviewable, we can assist. And that's kind of
where I went with it. I felt like, just because
we've grown so much with this technology, which is a terrible,
then let's apply it if it is applicable in a
(39:03):
way where you know, it's it's an automatic. So that's
kind of where I fell with it. But it did
catch me off guard. And you know that's gonna happen
to yes in this business that I do know, you.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Know, yeah, you know it strikes me. We're going to
talk with and no penitentic. So I'm changing the baseball here.
We're going to talk with Steve Blast when we come back.
The stereotors have reft basketball and football. Why is no humping?
Why stopping umping?
Speaker 6 (39:29):
No clock ran, no clock? Whatever? They didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
You wanted to be home itself, right, you know what
I mean? Let's the boys.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
I mean, if somebody can't get a base in here,
I'm not playing eleven, in playing twelve and block up there.
I gotta be able to work on a clock. I
sat baseball, you know, Washington Tau baseball, capital of pony baseball,
had two beautiful boys and a daughter who was really
good in softball too. I enjoyed sitting on the batting
(40:00):
practice bucket of balls and calling pitchers and bitching at
the umpires. Man. I mean, I really enjoyed that part.
I decided that in that sport, we'll just sit, we'll
choose sunflower seats, and we'll yell at the yump And
it was therapy for me. I got the the.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
But when you talk to Blast, the one thing I
do want to know is why is the guy on
second base twenty feet off a second base is loaded
in one out? How did you get double played in
that situation?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
And youth baseball, and.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
I wouldn't be happy with the eight year old if
he was nine feet off a second base. That's a billy,
We got it. Come here, billy, have an ice cream,
but your run doesn't matter. Billy, right and play like
you did in right field for the last three inning.
I mean, I don't need you.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
To go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Its how much of that little league mentality these guys
forget just the basic rules and force outs and things.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
I'll do you one better, Jeene. How don't slide at
home plate?
Speaker 6 (41:02):
Yes, exactly, man, no question about it. I mean that
game was so amazing that the last two innings of
that game. I think someone made a comment during the game,
like there's a T shirt. You know this is gonna
be a T shirt. Two players colliding near the fence, Yes,
and you know, make a great catch and then what
was it like the next batter you got to slide
and replay he lifts his foot, he puts his foot
(41:24):
back down. You know, we're within two camera frames of
the World Series changing, and then you get a guy
that's twelve feet off a second based on it, Like, dude,
what what are you doing here? Don't ruin it like this.
I mean it was the crescendo was coming and you
got doubled up on a on a pinto league play.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, I mean it's amazing, you gino.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
They could have used your your index card when they
were trying to determine if that was a wedged ball
in the outfield.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
You know, oh yeah, the outfield, the wedgie. How would
it came and slipped that index card underneath that catcher's
foot too, like you, that went underneath it didn't touch
the prices off the plate. Let's do it again, and
can I smirk just one more time, you know, just.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
For the heck of it.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, it would have been a beautiful smirk. One more,
one more smirk. That would have been the that would
have been the shirt, the sterotory smirk. Jeans Saratar brought
