So their inability to cope basically determines the temperature of
the household, if you will. 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

(00:43):
their addiction, right right.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
Also a full dependency.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
And what's going on over there is this hour brought

Speaker 8 (02:55):
Mostly sunny today with a high of sixty two. The
family of the man who fell from the stands at
PPG paint Serena last month during a Penguins game says
that he has been awake and alert, but he will
have a long road to recovery. In a statement, the
man's family expressed gratitude to the emergency responders, doctors, nurses,
and other medical professionals who saved the man's life and

(03:17):
continued to care for him. The family added that the
man is expected to again have a long road of
recovery ahead, and they have also asked for privacy moving forward.
So Last week, the Penguins and the Oakview Group issued
a joint statement saying that the man was not using
the designated staircase at the time of the incident and

(03:37):
the safety barrier remained intact. Oakview Group manages PPG paint Serena.

Speaker 9 (03:42):
A spokesperson for Pittsburgh Public Safety said late last week
that witnesses told police the man was stepping overseas when
he lost his footing.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
That's what I read. Oh he's lucky to be alive, man.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, oh, no question.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
And I think we've all done that.

Speaker 7 (03:56):
I mean I've definitely stepped over chairs at game before.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
At PPG, Joe and I sat up there for the
Tom Petty Show. Do you remember how steep that was?
Like we were talking about that night, like, man, if
you go ass over tea cups here?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh yeah, oh those scenes scare me. I mean my
dad we had season tickets like five ros from the
top or three over stadium. It was you know, it's
like you're like a window washer. Yeah yeah, but it
was weird how it was.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
Like at PNC Park they had the incident with the
fan falling, and then there was the the Sunday Night
football crew guy fell at acresure off the jumbo tron.
Just weird one, two three like that. Thank god last
night wasn't home game. The twenty people would have jumped
yeah right, but at the nets like a Golden Gate Park, Yeah, gold.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Ye catch them all.

Speaker 10 (04:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
Then they say they have those nets at like iPhone factories,
because so many people are like like trying to just
like I'd rather die other than work, and then the
nets catch them and they're like back to work.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I thought that might be like a myth. Yeah, well
that's what I'm asking. Is it a myth?

Speaker 11 (05:01):
Right?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Oh, I don't know. I don't I don't know. Is
it a make They do have nets at the Golden
gate Bridge?

Speaker 10 (05:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (05:07):
I remember watching that one documentary where the people they
interviewed the people that survived the jump from the Golden
gate Bridge.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
I worked a guy that was a janitor at the
punchline was one of those twelve people that survived. Real
mod Yes, and that was one of the only five
or six crazy things about him. I bet yeah, yeah, yeah, yea.
His name was Bo. He was a character and a half.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
And they said, like every person said, at the second
they left, they were like, big mistake, could have solved
all my problems.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Right, what did that.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
Guy say about it he's surviving or didn't you talk
to him about it?

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I hit others like he literally he built his own
helicopter and then crashed it into a power line. He
was he was the head of the North American Pink
Floyd fan club. He used to have North Americans, so
all of Canada and Mexico as well. Yes, yeah, that's distinction. Yeah,
it was pre nafta. I don't know what he had, like,

(06:08):
he had pet cockroaches. He used to clean the bells
of the church. The only person that would ever go
up to the church on top of uh, you know
where the Pheromone is, that huge church. He was in
charge of cleaning those bells.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Who put him in charge of that? Did they not
have his background? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:28):
He was an interesting cat. He was an interesting cat. Yeah.
But yeah, but that movie is interesting because I knew
the guy. I knew one of the guys that was
helping film that they were pretending it was a documentary
because the Park Services wouldn't want someone doing a thing
on suicides.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
Oh right, so they said they were just doing a
movie on the bridge about the bridge.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Right.

Speaker 6 (06:48):
The Golden Gate Bridge is still to me one of
the most amazing things. When you drive across it or
just looking at it, it is so mad. I mean,
I think the Bay Bridge is impressive, but like Golden
Gate is just that when you are on it, you
can't believe something like that exists.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
It is massive. I mean I lived there for eighteen years.
It never gets old. It's like the sunset. It never
gets looking at it. It's every day and I I
was just there last week. I'm going there next week
for shows, and it's just like you just stare at it.
For my buddy's deck, It's like it's the great That's
why I think my daughter's so mellow, because I used
to walk her to it every morning. Yeah, she was

(07:23):
a baby. This is where people jump, honey.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
There are tons of traffic on that bridge, like just
people running and walking and there is there's a.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Lot of stuff like that. Yeah, I mean you can
walk across, you can run across it. There's actually it's
a really weird incident. Somebody that used to put up
it used to be like the Liberty Bridge where you
could go one way, and it kind of switch it
to where you could go lanes switch up. Yeah, and
some idiot like tried to jump on the other side.
And then you know it was on the paper for
three years because they tried to pretend that they were

(07:52):
having a seizure. It's like, no, you were just being
a jag off. Some old lady was going too slow
when you try to go around, and some people are
terrified by the Golden Gate Bridge. To me, not even
close to the scariest bridge.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
The sun Shinned Skyway Bridge down in Florida is the
scariest bridge ever because it keeps going up and you
can't see the other side, and when you look down
to the right you can see the original bridge that
was constructed there and a boat hit it, broke it
in half, and several cars flew off of it in

(08:26):
a fog to their death.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
The Mexican Navy was invading Florida.

Speaker 6 (08:33):
Remember when they invaded New York and hit the bridge. Well, oh,
that's right, I forgot about that. No, but you know
what bridge I'm talking about, right, And the one in Tampa. Yeah,
it's like between Tampa and Fort Myers.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, there's a couple other bridges that are just crazy
like that. I don't it's scary. But actually when they
had like the maybe the fiftieth anniversary of the bridge,
I was not there, but someone say they had like
a million people walk across it and it started shaking
like it was going to hold the weight, and people
freaked out.

Speaker 7 (09:01):
The ranking bridge was always pretty scary you could see
the water through the brig.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Through the bridge.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
Thirty five people died nineteen eighty from drove off the
bridge and they couldn't see because it was all foggy.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
And it's just like the bridge keeps going up, up, up,
up up, and just.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Like, dude, the bridge was cut in half, but they
couldn't tell.

Speaker 12 (09:24):
They couldn't tell the fog because a boat.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Hit it and knocked it down and the fog blocked it.
So they drive onto the bridge.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
This is like that day.

Speaker 11 (09:33):
Yes, why didn't they block the bridge there?

Speaker 12 (09:38):
See how it goes up?

Speaker 10 (09:39):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Yeah, yeah, that's wild.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
Yeah, dude, that one there, It doesn't look as bad
when you look at it from far away. It doesn't
look that steep when you drive up it.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Man, it is so stupid.

Speaker 12 (09:52):
Oh, it looks pretty steep.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
There's ones in China on the internet to give me
the willies just looking at them, like five miles in
the air. They say.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
There was the outside of the Sydney Harbor Bridge at
the two thousand Olympics.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Like me and me and Jimmy went up the bridge.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
It's guided tour and you climb on the outside and
it's a stairwell and you clip in and they walk
you up one of the arches all the way to
the top, and then you walk across and then come
down the other side so you don't walk up over
it and all the way to the other side. You know,
you come back down the same side you went up.
But when you get when you're going up, it's like,

(10:30):
I never thought I was scared of heights. I'm like,
this is kind of hairy, Like it feels weird, even
though I know I'm very secure. And then the wind's whipping,
and then it's really whipping, and they're talking to you
in a headset because you can't hear, and so you
get to the top and you look around, you're like,
oh my, yeah, this is.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
A weird feeling.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
And then you kind of just wanted I kind of
wanted it to be over once I went. Once I
had to look at the city because you're looking down
at the at the bay, and it's that call of.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
The void thing that keeps happening to you, you know what.
I'm like, Am I just gonna clip and jump to
my death right now? For no reason?

Speaker 3 (11:02):
What?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
No, I'm I never heard of that?

Speaker 10 (11:08):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh yeah, people sounds like a Sabbath song. I know.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
It's like people have this like feeling and sometimes it
happens on ski lifts or just you're hiking and there's
like a big ravine and people like look down and
their brain starts like to make them feel like the
call of the void leap into it.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I don't even go skiing anymore because I'm I got
so scared to hide as an adult. And it's funny.
This is a andy Piccaro Pittsburgh Comic. Yeah, hilarious, dude.
We did a show and Aspen together and they were like, hey,
do you guys want to go to the beer fest
on top of the mountain And I'm like, I don't
want to get neck on dolong.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Yeah I'm not.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
This guy goes, oh, oh, take a truck and we'll
drive up to you. Guy, you can drive up it.
He made it like it was He goes, yeah, it
takes like it takes like ten minutes. I go, okay,
we hit every bump. I was screaming like it was great.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
He was over the edge.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
It was the worst twenty minutes of my life. We
get there, I go, how do they take like five minutes?
And goes, why I was driving slow because you guys
were a bunch of pa words. I'm like what people
were like, it's so beautiful, of course.

Speaker 10 (12:10):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Pacar is over by a dumpster smoking a cigarette like
only people from Pittsburgh just like hang out by the
dumpster like you're inside a postcard.

Speaker 6 (12:23):
We're just like, I'm like, do you have any like
regular beer?

Speaker 10 (12:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (12:30):
Free stuff, like like what's gone? This is a festival.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
So then we're going down, so they we're like, f this,
We're taking the gondola down. It was just then we
left early, so we're going down and we were with
like like a nice Asian family. You are very quiet
and we're going down and you know, like when there's
a gondola. So we were good. It's like it's three
minute ride. Minute a half in, it's like it's perfect.

(12:55):
And Pacara goes, this isn't so bad, and I go,
we're not there yet. Stop and then it stops right
where it's the biggest dip the furthest spot for where
the firemen aren't going to be able to get it
from any angle and it's gonna be a Navy seal
coming from a helicopter and it stopped just lo It

(13:18):
was I was like five seconds away from maybe doing
that thing where I'm just like and then it just
started moving. You're like, okay, yeah, oh my god. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
The worst is when you're on a lift and it
stops over a ravine and you're swaying. Okay, you can't
start going anytime now, And I'd be okay with.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
That, yep.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
And they don't even hooky in tight on this. That's
why I'm done skiing, Like I'm done with that, all right.
I don't remember how we got here, Abby.

Speaker 13 (13:48):
Well, we were talking about PPG and just like the
vertigo of being up high and you know, the arena,
but then it kind of is heart rending back to
us talking about being stuck on the in Clon.

Speaker 9 (14:00):
I was thinking about us being stuck on the ferris
wheel on the Clemente.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
I mean, now, you guys got me all scares, didn't they?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Incline break down this weekend we.

Speaker 12 (14:09):
Were talking about it being Pittsburgh alive.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I said, that's just scared. Kenny would that Incline they
got that Scooby Doo character running it.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
He would have got away with it too.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
The Scoopy do character you get on and he takes
his face off, and.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
It is terrifying, Like when you're especially when you're going.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Down incline, is terrifying.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Yeah, for a couple of seconds. Like just the idea
for me isn't isn't like it's it's not fast.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
It's so slow.

Speaker 7 (14:47):
That's what's scary about it to me, Like if the
if the rope all of a sudden just goes.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
And now you're flying down the incline.

Speaker 12 (14:56):
That's all I think about.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
That's what I think about.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
Yeah, doesn't it have like a manual brake on it?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Probably it doesn't have like a Westinghouse. Hey we inspected
this like last week's sign either, it's just like from
eighteen hundred.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Yeah, I guess that's the first thought I have.

Speaker 12 (15:14):
On the incline is that there's one cable snap.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
I never ever never thought.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
And I'm not like, oh, nothing scares me kind of
guy when it comes to that kind of stuff, Like
I just I don't know why. I just always felt
like how bad could it be? It's the inclined, Like yeah,
but I.

Speaker 12 (15:29):
Mean it's like how bad could it be? It's like
there's a piece of concrete holding up the jack rabbit.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Like, that's what I yeah, that's a fair point.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
Speaking of that, did you guys see there on the
news there was a guy who was on a roller coaster.
His safety latch didn't like it unlatched. The kid who
was checking at all didn't do the proper check. It
came undone. He got out of the roller coaster as
it was moving, as it was about the crust the
first hill, and then walked down the fires but like

(16:01):
he got out while it was Where was that at
the top.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
I don't know. I just saw it on the news
and this guy was like, I'm just I'm glad it
happened to me and not.

Speaker 7 (16:11):
One of these kids, because they probably wouldn't have got
out of a you know, a roller coaster that was
on the move.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
And I was like, yeah, I mean, yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
Oh my lord, the video is terrifying. Yeah, all right
in Arizona. Oh no, that was last year. Okay, Well, well,
I don't know. I was looking for it, but I
couldn't find it in the search for unbuckled roller coaster.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
It can't work.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Terrifying, all right.

Speaker 14 (21:31):
But the collapse at the Air Canada Center really, excuse me,
Social Bank Arena really out of characteristic for the new
look Penguins. They were up three to nothing going into
the third period, They'd outshot the Leafs seventeen to three
in the second period, and then they give up four
goals in a ten minute and twelve second span of

(21:52):
the third period that included three in three minutes and
twenty four seconds. That went from three point thirty one
of the earned three to one to six fifty five
of the third tie game.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Joe, what happened? It was? And it went from the
greatest dream to the biggest nightmare it was dreamed. I
think Gino looked like twenty ten Gino. Eric Carlson looked
like Ottawa Carlson. Then all of a sudden, it was
like Latang looked like Latang, Jari looked like Jari. Uh

(22:26):
mused turned into Sullivan and the worst of all, Brnicki
turned into Ryan Graves. Briniki got rolled three two goals,
he just got they went right through him. I'm like,
what is going on? And I took full responses to
because I started returning texts because I never touched my
phone in the game.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
It's on you, that one's on your.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
It was literally like he's parted for Austin Matthews and
you just knew it was gonna happen.

Speaker 14 (22:52):
Because it wasn't the four Nations face off for the
Olympics or something important.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, and you know, and then Jarry a couple of softies.
They just totally collapsed and they'll tell you and the
no excuses, no excuses. But when then you could see
losing Raquel and and braz and a Chari because then
they really only had about four or five guys going
and that was just it, and all of a sudden

(23:19):
they got out classed in the sense of like when
Sintan Gino were younger, all of a sudden, Hey, you
know what, We're just gonna put it on a bunch
of people. And that's what happened to us with Prince
Willie and Matthews just like, you know what, we're just
gonna win the game now. And it was like we
didn't have enough. We couldn't row any lines, there was
no life. He put sintant Gino with rust. Then you

(23:40):
got Kindle out there with nobody's and then that's it.
It was like we didn't have enough, it was.

Speaker 7 (23:46):
And then you're not texting the right way.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, and then I'm watching Pat Somrose a football life
because I can't stumm a cocky.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
I bet that's good. Oh he he drank like I
used to know. It was fun. You know, thankfully you
don't do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
No, thanksfully.

Speaker 14 (24:05):
Penn's went in the last night outscoring teams twenty to
nine in third periods. They'd only give it up nine
goals in third periods, gave up four to last night.
They went in the last night five and zero when
leading after two periods. These are all signs of what
a good team does. You know, shuts the game down
when you have a chance to shut it down. And

(24:26):
slipped on a banana peel last night.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
And it was such a way to tell Canadian hockey media, Hey,
it's Toronto. Sid's not leaving. Gino's not leaving put it
where the sun don't shine.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
But no, we let it slip away, take it out
of where the sun don't shine it, just.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Put it where the sun shines.

Speaker 14 (24:46):
Second consecutive loss for just the first time since October
the eleventh and fourteenth. Capital's come into town Thursday night.
Be a good time to not let this snowball.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
I'm sure it'll be fine.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
What do you think of this goalie rotation muses rolling
necessarily in the season.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I like it because I think the Jari needs competition.
I think whenever Jari doesn't have someone he thinks is
his equal or could come in and take his job,
I think he's kind of slacks.

Speaker 6 (25:18):
Last night was the first time bad Jari appeared. I
don't blame him on the Matthews goal, but the next
couple were little soft. But I basically blame bruneck Is
standing around getting to run around knee.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Later he did the rust move. It just went around him,
just like I think Brinicky's got to go back now.
I think against the guys, yeah, because I don't know
if he lost his mojo just sitting in a couple
of games. But he doesn't look physically intimidate even intimidating,
but you know, against the guys that are back in
the minors now, he looked he could handle physically. He

(25:51):
can't handle the real an eh Ollers right now. I
know what's your opinion, Mike, did you notice that I
haven't seen him enough To be honest with you. I
love the kid. I wish he just you know. I mean,
I think if Dumba plays last night, I think they
win that game, because I don't think Dumba gets a
run over like that a couple of times.

Speaker 14 (26:08):
I am inclined to lean toward playing the kids anyway,
because I still have no expectations for this year. Yeah,
give him some expose, but if they're physically not ready,
they're physically not ready. I mean Kendall obviously, two goals
for Ben Kendall last night. He's doing fine. I I
you know, I think you take away siding Gino. I think,
and you know, I'm a rusty guy. I think it's
easy to say Kendall's the third best forward on that team, and.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
He's playing power plays.

Speaker 14 (26:32):
He was on the ice at the end of the
game last night when they got the goalie pulled, and
they're trying to I mean the coach obviously believes in.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Them, so he's going to the net with reckless a bandit.
He's he's getting beat up like Jake used two and
he's bouncing right back up.

Speaker 14 (26:46):
Twenty seven seventeen Cardinals over the Cowboys and Monday Night
Football last night. Steelers have released cornerback Beanie Bishop from
their practice squad. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reporting that Marquez
Valdez Scantling was in Pittsburgh yesterday and he's ready to
sign with the Steelers practice squad. That's an old buddy
of Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Days. Chargers left

(27:08):
tackle Joe All isn't gonna play Sunday night when the
Chargers host the Steelers. He's not gonna play again this season.
He is gonna have to have surgery for a high
right ankle injury. Chargers' already lost their right tackle Rashaun
Slater to a season ending injury.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
It's a big game, hyah. Chargers are wounded, and also.

Speaker 14 (27:31):
Are the Steelers likely to make the playoffs if they don't.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Win the North. Oh, I don't look around and you
start thinking I don't know about that.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
A lot of good teams a lot of good teams
not playing great ball right now, which means some good
teams might not win their division but are still definitely
gonna make the playoffs.

Speaker 14 (27:50):
So you could be looking at a Steelers Chargers tiebreaker
scenario at some point and be nice to have the
head to head win. Not to mention, the Steelers could
maybe get some traction back and get a little momentum
if they can find a way to win in La
Sunday Night trade deadline is today. One guy they wouldn't
have to trade for cornerback Sante Samuel Junior, follower reporting

(28:15):
that he has been cleared by doctors for football activities
after undergoing spinal fusion surgery in April. The guy who
performs the guy who performed the spinal fusion fusion surgery
on a Sante Samuel Junior in April, according to Pro
Football Talk, none other than Steelers neurosurgeon doctor David Oconquo.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
So I mean.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
They should know if he's healthy or not, mister Sunday.

Speaker 14 (28:47):
Yeah, Sante Samuel Junior, his dad played in the league.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (28:53):
He's a former second round pick of the Chargers out
of Florida State. He has started forty seven of the
fie fifty career NFL games, he's played only four of
those last year. But there's a corner you can get
without having to trade for him. But in a brand
new spine, in a cornerback starve league, He's there's gonna
be people interested. But how interested based on the history

(29:15):
of a bad back.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Spinal fusion is not a bad back. It's not cervical
spot disaster.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
By the way, Oconquo did my mom's surgeries too, had
nine of them. Yeah, one more she played which No,
she can't play a corner. She can't play middle, she
can't play slot at all.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
Nine nine.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Oh good lord, how are you cleared to play an
NFL Footba's feeling better now though, right, Oh yeah, right good?
How are you cleared to play NFL football with spine
like I'm not. I'm not allowed to do anything according
to my spine doctor. Really, what did you have done
on your spine? Well, I've had two different surgeries, but
the last one, the major one. They know, they fused
a bunch of discs together and put in Yeah. Does

(30:01):
it make you feel less flexible a little bit? But
not too bad. I mean it really saved it. Brought
me back to life. Actually it was horrible. I know,
but I mean, you just can't do things.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Do you do you have problem at the airport? No?

Speaker 1 (30:15):
No, because I don't think it's like some kind of
metal they don't detect like the newer medal. They don't
detect it.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
I don't need to have a special new metal card
like limpbiscuit. It's not metal wrap.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
I don't know. Follow says teams are interested.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Wow, I mean he's a great player.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
He wasn't there another cornerback that was possibly getting traded today.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
I thought I read that yesterday and it's escaping me.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
It'll be interesting to see what how active Omar is today.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
What time is the deadline? Four o'clock, four o'clock.

Speaker 7 (30:46):
The team that the Steelers are modeling themselves after the Eagles,
I mean they're on the move, they're making moves.

Speaker 14 (30:51):
Yeah, Ravens picked up an edge guy yesterday. I think
it seems like trades are more of a thing now
in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I agree, there's a lot of friends in the NFL.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Things that used to be super rare.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Dealing a quarterback to a division rival in the middle
of the season. Did you see Stefanski was asked about
Flacco yesterday.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
He was asked, hey.

Speaker 6 (31:16):
Uh, coach, why do you think he looks so good
in uh Cincinnati? But he was awful here? And Stefanski's like, yeah,
I don't want to talk about any other player that's
not here.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
It's kind of hilarious. They're like, yeah, have you watched him?
He's lighting it up down there.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
And now the Bengals fans are saying, wait a minute,
have we overvalued Joe Burrow? This actually devalues Joe Burrow.
If a forty year old guy can come in here
and do this, maybe Joe Burrow isn't that special.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I think that is silly.

Speaker 14 (31:54):
No, I think it's what this is revealing more than
anything else. Well, hey, it's firming the greatness of Chason Higgins.
But Flacco to me, was always an underrated guy. He
knows that he always has spinning, he always had an arm,
and he always knew how to play. And he's kind
of awkward physically. He's not the new age read option

(32:16):
run around guy. But he's a huge guy, and I
mean he wants some stuff in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
He's a been there, done that guy.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
Oh that run he had to win them. The Super
Bowl in Baltimore was epic.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Always threw a great deep ball.

Speaker 14 (32:30):
And what this year is really reminding everybody is that
even in the age of the new wave read option
run around quarterback, if you have a veteran guy that
has the head for it and still has arm talent,
that experience can be lethal.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
When you think, I mean, could put those numbers up
with the receivers you have here.

Speaker 14 (32:50):
Yeah, I don't really have a comment on Joe or
any players on other teams, so I don't think it's
appropriate on other teams.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
No, I don't really want to talk about how he's
help the Bengals score one hundred and thirteen points in
three games.

Speaker 12 (33:03):
I want to talk about how my ex got hot.

Speaker 14 (33:05):
Yeah, even percent a little bit in Arizona. I mean,
he's not as old and he's not as accomplished. Here's
always a good NFL quarterback, good solid guy.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
He was in Cleveland, he was in Cleveland, he was
in Indie, he was in New England.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Just about everyone. But I mean he's playing really well
for U him coming here at one point, but two
years from now ready, Yeah, a year still too young
for us. Tomlin's like, I can't afford.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
You yet, but soon when you take the highway. Chat
and Tyson is always up for a road trip. He's
got a reloaded cut from Randy Bauman and the DV
morning show Sports.

Speaker 15 (33:41):
Hey, Chatman, I was wondering if you could dig down
deep for me today.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
And deep cut requests after News with Chat and Tyson.

Speaker 6 (33:50):
On DV five words, No one wants to hear you
need a new roof?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
What do you do? It's the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
Always Joe Bartneck hanging out in studio with us. Yeah,
having a great time. Yeah, you got a full weekend
planned here, I do. I think I'm going to see
the Turnpike, Troubadours and something by Turtles.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
It's my girlfriend Turtles. That doesn't sound nice. They're great.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
Yeah, I mean it feels like it would take forever,
very very slow death death.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
You think you could move and then trample?

Speaker 5 (34:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (34:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll be a great shot.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
That should be fine. I just hope I can walk
up Cardiac Hill. Pete. Yes, so I said, that's a
game time decision. If I feel like, where.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
The hell do you park?

Speaker 7 (34:54):
Like, I guess it's not good to say on the air,
nobody wants to give away their parking spaces. But Soldiers
and Sailors is where I parked. Just it's a it's
a pretty far walk, though. Everything is a far walk
to the peak. That's the problem. Uber, And I remember
when Bill played there.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
I didn't. I didn't hear the end of it for
a month because my dad had to carry my mom's
beatballs up that hill. It was like ten Stations of
the Cross.

Speaker 6 (35:20):
Oh dude, And you guys remembered your father this past weekend, Yes,
we did.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
We went to they had a memorial for everyone who
died this year among like five different churches. It was
like one hundred and ninety people. So they set a
mass in honors honor right at two o'clock. And like
a good son, I went with my mother. That's nice,
And like a great Seiler fan, I've had my phone
on right next to me in church. So why did

(35:47):
they do it at two o'clock? I wonder that's that's
kind of strange. But it was so many people they
couldn't do it any later. When the night.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
Oh, they like they literally honored all of that. It
wasn't just in memory of and it was understood.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
They like they read every name at a very very
slow pace, and then one hundred and ninety names, it
was like a hundred and it was Yeah, it really was.
How long did that take? It took from the beginning
of the first quarter to the end of the fourth.

Speaker 7 (36:16):
Man, you gotta be careful watching a Steeler game and
a in the church setting like that.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
You don't want to be like.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yes, no, I was the people behind me for you know,
when you turn around to say like, nice to meet you,
peace and all that stuff. The three guys behind me
all going, that's how you doing. I got to show

(36:45):
next Thursday. Yeah, they don't thank you for having the
game out, seriously.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
The game for having the game on.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
It took a long time. I was like, oh my god,
can we speed this up? Like, I mean, is there
a bus that happens? Does the bus go over hill
in July? We've not got tad right now, move this along.
I'll tell you the four priests are ready. I think

(37:18):
they're on the gonna be in the list next year.

Speaker 16 (37:23):
They made the guys up this list about longer.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
They made the list. They made the president on money
look young.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
George Washington looked like he was on t beat compared
to these guys the list. Well, that's what happens when
you make a comedian sit in church for three hours.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
It's just a back. Yeah right. I don't know how
my back survived that. No, I was. I was happy
to go for my mom. I don't my mom going
there by herself. Well know, you gotta support you guys
will be Yeah. So she got to take the candle
home and it was a it was a very nice ceremony.
But you know, for someone that reads that listens to
everything on two, yeah, I have a d D. I

(38:10):
don't need someone going Margaret Hatchman and then like waiting
for a woman in her cane and her walker to
get to the candle to and then come back.

Speaker 6 (38:20):
I think I have everybody, like have an altar boy
up there for them, like just you know, with a
grill lighter.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Well that was the thing. They did have a girl lighter.
But then, you know, then that's a lot of technology
for someone who's eighty five. I'm just have a torch
they can just go through.

Speaker 6 (38:42):
Yeah, well that's nice that you did it, and I'm
glad that your mom's hanging in there, and do.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
It Yeah, my mom's doing great. She loves you guys.
She she's she's just every now and then, every time
I'm around and town, she's like, we gotta get Randy
and everybody over all make dinner. So dude, I'll come
over anytime.

Speaker 6 (38:56):
That was one of my favorite dinners of all times,
me and Versy at the the Bartnik household enjoying your
mom's meatballs.

Speaker 7 (39:03):
Holy County had a lot of issues with you for
that event because of the things that you brought and
didn't let him know that you were bringing gifts.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Well, Versey's just like me and Randy. Randy's like an
honorary Italian that we always come. We never come empty handed.
People say, don't bring nothing, I'm bringing something. What do
you want? So Randy comes and goes brings in like
five things, five things because he's a gentleman. I had
wine and I had Sarah's pretzels.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
I think I would never bring so much when someone
else is cooking that I'm like infringing on the food.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
You know, no, you didn't know. You were just a gentleman.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
It was.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
It was amazing. Versey had no chance to any of
that because my wallet had fallen out of my jacket
and was underneath Randy's bar. So I had to get
on a flight the next day. So we are backtracking
everywhere I was the night before, which is like six
different bars going everywhere on a Sunday, flying around, and

(40:05):
we were actually almost late to get well. Couple like
I want. All of a sudden, it's like me and
Versier on like a.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Yeah, ends up and I think you still have my wallet, dude.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
He and my ex wife to this day is he's
bad by a bunch of other stuff. But she was like,
how did he not look under the bar?

Speaker 6 (40:27):
It's Bartnick, It's like the first place I would look
for anything in name.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
But it's like a three hundred and.

Speaker 6 (40:36):
Fifty ten pound bar that he was leaning up against
after he'd been in his cups a little bit, you
know what I mean, And as he's rocking back and
forth on it, his wallet had fallen on the ground,
and then he kicked it under the bar on one
of those like swinging forwards, and then dropped it right
on top.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
So it wasn't even that you could like look under
the bar and see it.

Speaker 16 (40:58):
You had to notice that the bar was actually tilted
by the degree of the wallet. Yeah right, And it
was like like somebody cleaning that basement out one day
is like did you know there's.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
A wallet underneath? Like a year and a half later,
and then it's like Bartneck's licenses in there, and I
totally had to just Cramer, like the way on the airplane,
just like yeah, it's just me like yeah, like Bartnick, Yeah,
I don't know what to tell you, like I lost it.
I'm sorry. And then it's so funny because then they
went through everything. They gave me the whole tenth degree

(41:31):
that got through, but they gave me a piece of
paper to say this counts. I totally then forgot the
piece of paper and they walked away about to get
on the train, and I'm like, oh my god, where'd
the paper go?

Speaker 6 (41:41):
I run back and then all the cops are like,
who's this guy coming?

Speaker 1 (41:45):
What's he? And they saw him and grab the paper
and like all ten of them just laughing me, like
this clown.

Speaker 6 (41:51):
If I see Bartnick running at me and I'm a cop,
I mean I didn't you're like one of the guys
in weapons.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
I might at that point be like draw, you know,
like oh no, I'm a peaceful man.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
Yeah, beaceful man, Joe Bartnick, when's your next improv show here?
You know, a couple of months or what?

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, probably coming in January, probably hopefully.

All right, Well, enjoy your weekend in Pittsburgh and enjoy
Trampled by Turtles and Turnpike Troubadours and yeah, we go

on Sunday, So let's go Penns. Hopefully maybe you can

to you by Callie Ante Pizza and Draft Holes, three
time world pizza champions at Steelers Pro Shop. Get it
direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 15 (44:54):
The Steelers defense on Sunday afternoon for six takeaways and
sacked Colts quarterback Danyl Jones five times as they affect
shut down the NFL's number one offense for most of
the game. Perhaps even more impressive than the number of
turnovers the defense was able to force against the team
that had only turned the ball over four times this
season heading into the game was the defense's ability to
successfully shut down the NFL's leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor. Taylor

(45:16):
