Speaker 1 (00:00):
Burg like I have trouble with like subtle greens and
reds and everything like that. So it's always a fight
between us whenever we're doing anything like this. But like
she's like, oh, like you, like your opinion is so bad,
Like you don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm color blind like a parent glasses you can buy
to to like even out your color blindness. I've heard
of such a thing, but I don't want to spend
the money like that bad, Like I can tell Abby's
hats blue, but like that's that's about the extent of it.
But like, why why are you asking my opinion? Why
are you even asking? Why show me that's a different thing.

(00:38):
Who I have a disability as what you sound.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Like you wife right now, I am anything.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's like asking a guy with ady HD to read
board games, like I can't do I just can't do it.
Brandy Bellman and the DVE mister Wenesday, Jeff Concle, we
just wouldn't let him get that.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Out, Like we understand your processing in real time.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
We're still gonna make funny.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's what friends of them PFT comment are coming up
nine to fifteen this morning, and Abby's got a news
update for you. Now, what's going on is this hour brought.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
To you by wind donation, sun giving way to clouds,
windy showers this afternoon and high of sixty two. The
Florida businessmen who created Hooters more than four decades ago
have taken back full control of the chain, vowing to
restore its nineteen eighties beach bar vibe and replace the
current revealing waitress outfits with the iconic eateries original and

(01:46):
more modest server uniforms. The founders group, operating as Hooters, Inc.
Said Monday it finalized the purchase of Hooters of America
on Friday, ending months of bankruptcy turmoil that left dozens
of restaurants uttered. Neil Keefer, the seventy three year old
lawyer now running the brands, that his goal is simple.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
Quote.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
I don't think you're going to see a bunch of
butt cheeks hanging out, he told.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
The Walls three.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
He told The Wall Street Journal earlier this year that
the chain will scrap the bikini style shorts adopted under
prior ownership in favor of the orange jogging shorts that
made the restaurant famous. We're not just acquiring restaurants. He said,
we're taking back the Hooter's name to show the world
who we really are.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Old berverts. I mean, aren't these guys like seventy five
by now?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, he's seventy three, But he is saying.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
They are calling the turnaround.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
A rehooterization of the brand, and this strategy focuses on
simplified menus, upgrading ingredients, and a return to the chain's
family friendly origins.

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Come on, man, you got to know who you are.
You gotta know your history, you got to know your brand.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Hooters is the Florida thing. Ever though it is just
so Florida and everybody's fine with it.

Speaker 7 (03:05):
Yeah nobody, But nobody was coming there for the wholesome
family atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
No, in Florida, they might have been. That's what I'm saying.
Let them be Florida. That's what they do. You know,
it's we've all had Florida experiences and it's just a
different place. And that's what makes America great. When you
go to Florida, you know you're about to Florida.

Speaker 7 (03:25):
Yeah, you know that there's gonna be butt cheeks out
of shorts and Hooters smashed together.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Right, Fathers with their arms around their daughters are scantily
clad going. She's going to Clampson.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
You know, I'm so proud of her. She's grown up.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
So beautiful, and.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
She got her start here and she'll be back.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
We won't let her do any of the nails get
she's good.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
But I think there's actually a little bit to it,
because I mean, I haven't been in a Hooters in
a very long time.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I don't remember the last time.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
But cheeks are hanging out.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
But I think he's just saying, you know, like you
make the shorts a little less short, but it's not
like they're not still scantily clad.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Uh there was a casino Hooters casino in Vegas
prior to that, it was the san Remo, and my
dad was a frequent customer of the san Remo, so
much so that my dad was Customer of the Year
at the San Remo Wow in like two thousand and
two because he used to take planeloads of people from
Erie out there. Uh and uh so, So he loved
the san Remo. It is crush from MGM, and he

(04:34):
was very loyal to it. And when they changed, he
was like, I'm still going and it was Hooters and
he was. He was so disappointed with it, and it
was late because he was friends with all the old
people there, you know what i mean, and they got
rid of all this, you know, like everyone eventually quit
and stuff. And it wasn't like everybody that worked there

(04:55):
was wearing the Hooters stuff, but they definitely tried to
bring in more of like a Hooter's vibe to the
floor and that kind of bummed him out. And he's like,
Cheryl's not working the slots anymore. He's like, they got
these bunch and he's like, and they're not even that
you know, hot. It's like that that one upright Citizens
Brigade sketch where these matt Best showing in you know,

(05:16):
houses for sale and they're like, what's that room and
he's like, that's the hot Chicks room and they're like
what and he's like, yeah, it's the hot chicks room.
He's like, frankly, honestly, the chicks aren't even not hot anymore.
I mean, you're probably gonna want to do something. They're like,
do you mean there's just hot chicks in there. He's
like yeah, but again they're not even not hot.

Speaker 8 (05:30):
That dad was.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
He's like I mean, if they were hot, I think
you would have been okay with it. But I don't
think the Hooters casino lasted very long. And I think
that that's what that guy was talking about when it
like they overreached as Hooters. They were trying to create,
like like they expanded like they were Yeah, Booby Disney,
you know, like you're not going to grow more than

(05:54):
what you should be.

Speaker 7 (05:56):
And to your point about the NFL with the expansion teams,
like there's already really bad teams.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Now, yes, you put a couple more teams out there.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
You know, you can't be a business centered around hot
chicks if no hot chicks want to work there.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Cheryl might end up back there on rat shorts.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
And now it's sad. Yeah, and nobody wants sad Hooters.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
No normal sized Hooters. Uh, it just has Saint Pete
Beach written all over it to me, you know what
I mean, It's just got that vibe. C clear.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
We'll have to ask Madden because he's the biggest Hooters
fan ever.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Lay the wings. He genuinely loved the wings.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
He went there for the articles. Yep.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
John Daly, also huge fan of Hooters, would hang out
at Hooters all day because it kind of had like
a sports bar vibe. Oh yeah, eventually.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I remember those places back.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
In the day, like Damons and dude, I love Demons.
The ribs of Damon's were so good.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
He dubb threes more more recently.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
And you could turn the knob on your table to
like get different sound from one of the TVs. Yeah,
let's get the sound from TV number.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Five and fancy going there gettingn onion loaf.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Housing onion loaf are There's still places those that are
like themed with things like Hooters. Like for a while
there was the Tilted Kilt, right, so the girls had
to wear Oh yeah, little you know, Irish kilt.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
But dude, you will, I mean, do you all remember
when the Tilted Kilt opened? It was exactly what we
were just talking about. It was like some double a
talent there.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, there was a place called Twin Peaks, which I
mistakenly thought was like a David Lynch themed thing and
apparently that's not what they mean.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
No, well, remember the South Park episode about all of this. No, no, dude,
they did, like in one of the first few seasons,
they did a spoof on it and it was like
for kids, except it was called like I can't, I don't,
I don't.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
It was it Hooter specific.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, but it was like little little kids, and it
was like, yeah, it was called like I don't, I don't,
I don't one hundred percent remember, but I don't want
to try.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
To get really imagine you guess Raisin that's it, Raisin.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Raisins No, no, no, no, no, no, oh no.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, but it kind of touched on all of that stuff.
It's just that whole strippery culture.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
You know.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's like when Owen Benjamin thought the stripper loved him here, Well.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Yeah, she she does in a way.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Right, she loves his money.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
She's a hooker, Owen what with a heart? Yeah, not
like the Julia Roberts guy.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Neither, no, no, no, uh.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
All right, well he talked about her for three hours
that night. The stripper, Yes, he wanted to go back.
He just was in love. And like Roy and Steve
and those guys are like, you're not that big of
an id you know, like that's fake, that's part of
the thing, and he's like, no, that wasn't.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
No, we turned out he was that big.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Of an idiot. Wait, didn't he go back and she
was gone, no, no, no, we were like.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
The strip hub club had closed, she had moved away.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
No, I don't I don't remember if he went back
or not.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't think he did, no, because we were we
were like sitting around late night and just trying to
like gauge whether he was kidding or not, and he
was not. He really felt like he made a love
connection with the stripper at Bear Elegance. Oh well, you know, I.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
Mean, not the first time that's happened, probably not the last.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
No, I bet him.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
That night.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
There's probably been love connections that have been made at
strip joints between stripper and a customer.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
I know somebody personally.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, there you go. Really Yeah, Oh I think I
know who you're talking about. That's cool.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, still together, still working at the club, all right.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
But but did for a long time.

Speaker 7 (10:24):
Wow, it's tough. I mean you got to you gotta
have a lot of confidence and trust.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
You absolutely do. I that was a storm. I did
not know if they could weather, but they did.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
And they did well. Good for them. Is the mayor calling?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
No great conversation to jump on.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I really hoping that.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Stay away, Yeah, no, stay far away.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
His comms team is like wrapped, like getting all of
our numbers trying to get on this and then they
don't even they don't even call in.

Speaker 10 (11:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
It must be hey, man, he's a busy guy.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
The victory party I bet went late last night for Corey.
He's a popular guy, you know, apparently. I mean that
election was landslide. Doesn't do a justice, but that is
to be expected in the city of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Happy for him, man, half hour.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
But you know, after the polls closed and you know
he's won.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
Yeah, great, great, dude, He's gonna be a super visible mayor.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Like he's at everything as long as he stands on
a box.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
Yes, you know, I'm just saying like he's been at everything.
I remember being at the Greenfield Bridge implosion party with him.

Speaker 2 (11:37):

Speaker 3 (11:38):
He's a he's a Greenfield Squa guy.

Speaker 2 (11:40):

I know that he's he cares a ton, he does
and he's total Pittsburgh guy, all about doing what's best
for Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
So I'm I'm pumped for him.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Me too, man, well said good luck Corey, And it's
probably his comms teams like, do you hear what they're
talking about it?

Speaker 3 (12:06):
You're not, We're not.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Calling it right now.

Speaker 7 (12:08):
No, they're talking about the rehooterification of the United States
of America.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Do you promise to put a Hooters in the.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Top five restaurants? And why is it Hooters?

Speaker 11 (12:18):
All?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
Okay, let's can you name five Hooters locations?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
There's only one?

Speaker 7 (12:28):
Square is the only one? There's multiple ones. Wasn't there one?
Or was that a Rod Woodson's grill?

Speaker 2 (12:35):
There was a Hooters and station Square it went I
think that's the one. It went from sports Garden and
eventually became a Hooters.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Okay. Then there's one in Monroeville right by the mall.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
All right, I don't I'd never make it out that way, Okay.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
And then we're out.

Speaker 8 (12:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
I know somebody's gonna text in right now.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Or our Twitter is probably lit up with Hooters talk
right now. You guys are idiots.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
There's definitely there had to be a Hooters in the North.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
You know who did weigh in is our buddy, our
retiree buddy Tommy Sunshine. Oh yeah, the Villages, he says,
just opened up a brand new Hooters the Villages and
it's a major hit. He said, it's packed.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Are the waitresses old or young?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Tommy are the tweet me?

Speaker 7 (13:24):
You need to know because that makes it funny or
maybe not fun.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
So Tommy lives in the Villages, Well, yeah, yeah, fun
comes to you. Yeah, it's the residence of the of
the Villages working at the Hooters. We got to go
do a show from there.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
Oh yeah, Now I'm going down to visit Tommy. We're
pulling up on the Hooters in the golf cart.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's not raisins. They call that one prunes.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
That's what I mean. Like those uniforms.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Ye, kind of a dual meaning or not flattering. All right,
potentially get anything else there, Abbey, if we have time,
we do.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Okay, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is trying
to keep a tight lit on Saturday Night's induction ceremony.
But here are the things that we do know will
take place. We've talked about a few of these. David
Letterman is going to induct or in Zevon. Very cool,
his friend and of course frequent guest on the Late Show.
The Killers are going to be performing in Zevon's honor.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Oh wow, they'll do sound good.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
You know what, They'll do a banging version of his
Lawyer's Guns and Money.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Great call.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
Do I like that a lot.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's gonna be good.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Iggy Pop is going to induct the White Stripes.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
It is up in the air whether Jack.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
White and Meg White will attend, but it sounds like
twenty one Pilots will be performing Seven Nation Armies.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I don't know what to think of that.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
They're the young version of a two person band.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I don't know that I would have personally pick them,
but I understand Real Blood. I love Royal Blood, and
I think they are way more sonically aligned. But and
they could have done a very cool version. But I
understand what the popularity of twenty one Pilots why it
makes sense for the rock Hall to choose them. Jim
Carrey will induct Soundgarden.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh wow, what is the connection there?

Speaker 5 (15:21):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
We'll find out he's from that part of right. Isn't
he from Western Canada? So maybe he's got some Pacific
Northwest sensibilities? Maybe interesting.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
Brandy Carlisle is going to sing black Hole Sun we
talked about. She did a record store day with them
a long time ago.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Where she covered that, and it's gonna it's going to
be phenomenal. She's one of my favorite artists and everything
she does gives me chills.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
She's going to do an amazing job with that.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Taylor Momson from The Pretty Reckless has performed with them,
perform or performed with them before, and I think she'll
do something. And I think that there will probably be
other a knife from that scene, like Mike McCready, probably
have some guys like Jerry Control and Nancy Wilson of Heart.
I wouldn't be surprised if you saw all of them,
because they're going to be in attendance.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
There's this soul singer on Instagram, some redheaded dude. He
looks like an Irish guy's pasty as hell, but he's
got the most unbelievable soul voice as a soul singer.
And he did a soul version of the black Hole
Son and it's like Clinton sent me that. Man, is
it a banger? It is so good?

Speaker 5 (16:29):
You pulling that up.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
I'm trying. I think I have it right here.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
I do listen to this kid, not AI, which is
important because that's everywhere.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
But this guy's awesome.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
That's the guy. But we're the black holes. A black
hole someone, all right, never mind.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
One other important note is that Mick Fleetwood is going
to induct Bad Company. Brian Adams is going to fill
in for Paul Rodgers, who has been advised his doctors
not to fly, and so Paul Rogers is not going
to be at the ceremony. He has had thirteen strokes

(17:08):
since twenty sixteen.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
What thirteen, which.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Is wild because apparently he can still sing, but because
of you know, just obviously that's a pretty significant medical issue.
It's just like the stress of flying and everything else,
like he can't put his body through it.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
But apparently he can still sing. And that's according to Paul.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
In between the strokes.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
In between the strokes. But god, this guy's amazing in
this bowl.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh yeah, I know this in one No, yeah, A
thing the way that.

Speaker 7 (17:48):
This dude looks versus how he sounds crazy, he's algorithm.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
The what this guy, oh man, the dorkiest dude you've
ever seen. Austin Johnson on Saturday Night.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yeah, Bright Redhead, black Hole Sun.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
Come in Wash We Rain.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Sun Long. He's just sitting in his room singing that.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
It's have you seen.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
The videos of him where it's like black people listening
to him sing. It's one of my favorite, like sub
algorithm type videos where they're.

Speaker 11 (18:45):
Just like what what yep, because he's just a pasty
looking well it's like he sounds like, to me, like
the guy from Saint Paul and the Broken Bones too,
and people have.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
So much action and soul in his voice.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
But people have a similar reaction when you see him,
because you're like, oh, this guy looks like the tubby
guy from Bare Naked Ladies. He's gonna suck. And then
he opens his mouth and you're like, oh my god, exactly. Actually,
Stephen whatever, his name's fine. I don't need a dog
on him. I'm just assuming the naive people who would
be watched away. No, he's okay. I can't remember what
his last name is, but well.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
The induction Ceremony is going to stream live coast to
coast on Disney Plus starting at five pm on Saturday.
It's also going to be available to stream afterwards. ABC
is also going to air a condensed version on January first,
at eight pm, and that's news Son giving way to Cloud.
It's gonna be a highest sixty two today and ragin
this afternoon.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Stephen Page was that guy. He looks like the Saint
Paul and the Broken Bones guy. Michael have a sports
re portfolio. The Steelers stay quiet on the trade deadline day.
They're happy with what they got. Well, maybe that's not
the way to say it. They didn't want to give
up too much. They had to give up for what
was out there and Penguins making some moves. We'll talk

(20:03):
with PFT. Comment are coming up at nine to fifteen,
as well as Mark Madden nine to forty five. This
week's WDV bud Light Game Day Bar of the Week
Scarpacey's Mount Washington this NFL season, stopping scarp Pacey's and
enjoy three dollars but light twelve ounce bottles during all
Steelers games. But light, easy to drink, easy to enjoy.

Speaker 9 (20:20):
The Rules of the road are a little bit different
with Chad Tyson, Hey Chad, He's got a reloaded cut
from the DV morning show Sports and a Workforce commercial
three hour at three afternoons with Chad Tyson on DV.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
From the Bridgeville Appliance, Weather Center.

Speaker 12 (20:39):
DV Sports Min fourteen V Sports Para to This Hour
by Bridgeville Appliants.

Speaker 13 (20:50):
More good news for the Chargers. Their long snaper, Rick
Lovao has retired. Really sad and he's not all he
can stands. He can't stand no more now. He was
a fill in guy, and the guy he was filling
in for, Josh Harris, had been the long snapper for

(21:11):
the last three seasons.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
He got hurt in training camp.

Speaker 13 (21:14):
The Chargers have opened his twenty one day window to
return from MYR. Presumably Levado's decision to retire indicates that
Harris is ready to come back. Levao actually snapped the
last nine seasons for the Eagles. He was on their
Super Bowl team last year. He was set to retire then,
but Harris got hurt in training camp and the Chargers
talked him into coming back and filling the tour and

(21:37):
he did not do well. It's it's been a bit
of an adventure, the snapping. But because he's retired in
his mind, yeah, you know, if you think about retiring,
you're retired. They got a transition back to a guy
who's coming off ir and it has a lot of experience,
but none of it this year. Chargers are also allowing
eighteen yards per punt return and twenty nine point three

(21:59):
yards for kickoff return.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
This year.

Speaker 13 (22:01):
That punt return average includes a sixty seven yard punt
returned to the house last Sunday at Tennessee. So other
than no running backs, the offensive lines a mess, and
the special teams are all messed up, everything's great.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
With the Chargers. They're still good.

Speaker 13 (22:19):
But they're still good because the stuff that actually is
still great is pretty good.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Yeah, from Justin Herbert Herbert.

Speaker 13 (22:25):
Being the number one James to an array of edge
rushers that includes our old buddy Bud Dupree. Herbert's the headliner,
of course, and the guy the Steelers saw at after
Sure last September, the one who was limping around with
a bad ankle and wasn't very effective in a Steeler's victory. Well,
that guy won't be playing on Sunday night, and Mike

(22:47):
Tomlin knows it.

Speaker 14 (22:48):
On the offensive side, man, it certainly starts with Herbert.
For us, I feel like we caught a flyer a
year ago. He was limited from a mobility perspective when
we played him. I thought it impacted how the game unfolded.
It allowed us to do some things schematically that you
somewhat hesitant to do if he has full mobility. I

(23:10):
think it nailed him down in the pocket some and
probably limited limited some of the things that they choose
to do schematically, like play action pass and changes of
the launch point, which is certainly a component of Greg
Roman's attack. It was minimized some last year, and so
as I watched tape this year, I'm cognizant of that.
Herbert is extremely talented. He can kill you with his arms.

(23:32):
He certainly can kill you with his legs. He can
kill you with both by play extension. He has a
complete arsenal of people to throw to.

Speaker 13 (23:41):
Yeah, it's the passing game is a problem, but contain
them and pound them like everybody else is doing. He
took the field against Tennessee last Sunday having been hit
seventy times, most in the NFL, and then he got
eleven more thanks to the Titans sacks before that Titans

(24:01):
game last Sunday, six more in the Chargers victory over Tennessee.
He's getting pounded. I mean, he's a big, strong guy.
He doesn't mind getting hit when he runs, but he's
on borrowed time.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Ben used to get hit a lot.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, it's just get the guys.

Speaker 7 (24:18):
Refused to throw the ball away, right, He's always looking downfield.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
There was that one play Aaron did not slide as
he was trying like, look like you.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Can near the goal line.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Oh my god, what are you doing. Don't do that again.
There's our season.

Speaker 13 (24:34):
He was trying to score. My god, screen Yeah, and
he stopped cold, like Aaron, you're having a great year.
You've fit everything they thought you could be in more.
You can't run people over at forty one years people. Yeah,
it's not go down. Uh justin. Herbert led the Chargers

(24:55):
and rushing against the Titans nine carries for fifty seven
yards and that included he toush pushes and a couple
of kneel downs at the end of the game. So
when he got out, he got out. Keep them in
the pocket, keep hammering them, keep the guys in front
of you. They have They have good receivers, including an
emerging rookie tight end Deronde Gatstan from Syracuse. He's a

(25:17):
down the field tight end. Lad mcconkeye is an outstanding
zone beater and a guy who just knows how to
get open. And uh, the other wide receiver that they
drafted out of TCU a couple of years ago, Quinton
Johnston really fast. As a rookie, he couldn't catch the ball.
He was he was Franklin in the replacements. But he

(25:39):
has since learned how to catch the ball. He can
make back shoulder catches, he can catch it in the crowd.
He's Uh, you just got to contain these guys. They're
running game is on fumes, and they're trying to run
big boy packages and jumbo packages and use the defensive lineman,
full back guy and use their other fire hydrant tight
end and just squeeze whatever they can out of the running.

(26:00):
And they still want to run the ball. They don't
want to become one dimensional. But you can make these
guys one dimensional and then just assault.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Herbert has Tomlin and Jim Harbaugh only face each other
one time?

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
He wasn't still in the NFL when Tomlin's first started,
was he?

Speaker 3 (26:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
No, not as a player, I mean no.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
I mean as a coach. Wasn't coach in San Francisco then.
But I don't think they ever played against.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, I don't know. I looked it up and then
you know, you know how chat GPT or whatever takes
it over now and they give you incorrect results. Yeah,
and it would only give me John Harbon. But it'll
be interesting, interesting little chest match going on there.

Speaker 13 (26:43):
Yeah, and it's a winnable game. But they are also
I think they'll call them sneaky good. We were chatting
during one of the breaks.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
They are. I think they're very much like the Steelers.

Speaker 13 (26:53):
They're they're probably looking at the Steelers thinking, well, we
can win this, but we're worried about this and this
and this, Like does edge guys have our attention? Aaron
Rodgers has our attention? And yeah, they're starting to run
the ball to the last week, like each team. Not
a team is perfect, but they are both formad Let's
gonna be a hell of a football game.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
And I think Herbert is just more evidence of why
teams are bending over backwards, making trades, paying guys they
maybe shouldn't be paying, taking chances on trying to get
a quarterback because.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
You see how much he covers up.

Speaker 7 (27:27):
They have a ton of warts and it doesn't matter
because he's that good.

Speaker 13 (27:31):
He is, he really is, and his skill set is
off the charts, and now that he's healthy, he's staged.
Takes maybe a couple chances he should. But if if
I had that arm, I would too.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Tomlin versus Jim Harbaugh only one matchup head to head
in twenty eleven, when Jim Harbaugh's forty nine Ers defeated
the Steelers twenty to three.

Speaker 13 (27:52):
Well, Harps had the signals then he knew what was coming.
Had the answers to the test before where they asked
the questions.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Right, wait, what year was that?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Twenty eleven?

Speaker 15 (28:05):
Okay, well again, this is the stupid that's hot off
the super Bowl year, harb off the super far Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Tell them that has a chance to.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Beat three Harbus.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
He beat his old man too.

Speaker 13 (28:27):
No, I mean, just beat this one and then beat
the other one twice.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
You get three wins over a harball.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
She never you shouldn't beat your heartball that many times.

Speaker 13 (28:36):
Well, if you beat your harball more than once, I'm
my favorite Hartbuss getting beat as many times as he
would be.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Pass You know, I wish I knew somebody that hated
anything as much as you hate Jim Harbaugh.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, I mean I hate John You hate.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Michigan and all things Michigan related with the white hot
intensity of a thousand suns.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Because I have a soul.

Speaker 13 (29:02):
Screenhat, stay objectives all the times like this.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
It is great. I mean he's gonna be talking to
his brother all week.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, pretty professional on my part.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Abby.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'll have your news coming up at the top of
the hour.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
A century old ice cream store in the Berg may
never reopen. And Tom Brady has cloned his dog Pierre.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I hate when people did that PFT comment or coming up.
That's just such a Brady thing. It's a it's a prototype.

Speaker 6 (29:30):
I mention you zell.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
PFT comment or nine fifteen. What do you want to
hear that?

Speaker 9 (29:40):
The Pittsburgh tradition, built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon,
the all request.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
At Electric Lunch.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
That's one of the bat On dve Yo. It's smart Madden,
super genius. Have you been injured? If so called? The
expert personal injury attorneys at Sander The DV Morning Show,
Randy Bauman, Bill Crawford, Abbie Prisner. My pursuit of Jacob
Rick is our producer and we're a couple of weeks

(30:08):
away from the annual Smalls Waltz. This is the fourth
one we've done. We started at the Rex Theater for
Clothes and that was the Rex Waltz, and then we
thought it'd be dumb to keep that name when we
moved into Mister Small's. Uh So we went to Mister
Small's and it has sold out every year and it

(30:29):
just gets better and better. And if you are a
fan of what is widely considered to be the greatest
rock and roll movie of all time, you will love
this very faithful tribute featuring, much like the original movie
had stars from the rock and roll galaxy of that time,
we have, you know, all of these luminaries of the

(30:51):
Pittsburgh music scene for so many years. Bill Deasy's going
to be a part of it. Jen Wurtz and the
Lisberlin from Rusted Root, Paul lu Chet, Vince and Andre Costello,
Clinton Klegg from the common Heart, The Band is Tremendous,
Addie Twigg and Celedonia.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
All Stars. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Eric Lawrence from Levon Helm's Ramble Band who lives in Pittsburgh.
Now he's going to be a part of the show
again this year. Last year was his first year and
he had an absolute blast and was hoping he could
be back this year. I'm like, you're open man, we are,
so he's gonna be. He just thought it was, you know,
so much fun and such a great tribute to what

(31:31):
is again considered one of the greatest concert performances ever.
And what better endorsement could you get than you know,
one of the the guys from Levon's horn section saying,
this is this is really cool. He'll he'll be a
part of it, along with Abby Gross and Nadensko from
The Common Heart in the horn section with Ryan Booth
and the one and only Phil brons Uh. This is

(31:53):
a clip from Robbie Robertson's documentary Once we Were Brothers
about just how quickly the Last waltsall came together and
what it was like. This is just in a nutshell.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
The concert came together so quickly. It was a shock.

Speaker 9 (32:11):
I think we'd started planning a month before we did it.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
In the heart of the Lonely Kid Separate so much
for what he did.

Speaker 12 (32:23):
They gave this poor boy's bug in fame since that day.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
An let's say.

Speaker 10 (32:31):
We decided to do it with our friends, and that's
why we felt comfortable with the idea of doing the
Last Walls.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
But when they get to the end.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
It was to start all over run.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Just let it.

Speaker 10 (32:52):
I'm sinking. Please should document it properly. Let's think of
some filmmaker who could tell this.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Flor Robbie called me one.

Speaker 16 (33:03):
Day and he said, these are some of the names
in the lineup, Jeremy Mitchell and Morrison, Muddy Waters and
collecting where's come some way she wound up the Library
of Congress would have thirty five millimeter footage of from
these extraordinary people and performers and artists, and that would
be it what it came. Really, it was a celebration.
It was a celebration. There's all the influences of them.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, so there you go. And Joe Grischky is going
to be a part of it, of course, Bill Thoms,
Jeff Taylor, Danny Wreckham Wall who's going to be there. Yeah,
it's just a huge And the tickets are available at
the Mister Small's box office and also through dve dot com.
Do we have the mayor? Did he hang up? He

(33:49):
hung up? Let's get the mayor. The mayor just called this.
The mayor was just calling me. Was he really.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Sorry, man? I can't talk right now?

Speaker 5 (33:59):
His answer is red lobster.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Anyways, Yeah, so the Smalls Waltz. There are some tickets
still available. This is going to sell out again and
if you like that show, this is again a super
fun party and a great way to kick off the
Thanksgiving week Saturday on November twenty second, at mister Small's
in Millvale, and portions of the proceeds benefit the Greater

(34:26):
Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Joining us right now, ladies and gentlemen,
the new mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the
Honorable Mayor Corey O'Connor. Hey, guys, so are you congratulations
mister mayor, how are you?

Speaker 6 (34:45):
Thank you? I'm good.

Speaker 8 (34:46):
I'm standing on forward and murray with the kids, getting
everybody to hawk at us. Thank you, a good time.
Kids are entertained. We might do this every day. Hey,
how are you nice.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
To see you? He told you he's going to be
out with the people. He's visible.

Speaker 6 (35:03):
Hey, thank you.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Sorry, I'll try to do that's fine. Well, congratulations Corey,
and uh, I guess the thing I would say is,
what are you most looking forward to doing now that
you're mayor? What's the number one priority you have as
mayor of the City of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 (35:21):
Yeah, I think first we're going to get us here
comes a truck, perfect get out on the street.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
I mean, you should not be I'm.

Speaker 6 (35:30):
Sure you know this.

Speaker 8 (35:31):
This isn't going to be great for the traffic calming
measures that we're working on. But no, I think first
of all, it's putting together good thank you, putting together
a good staff over the next couple of weeks. I know,
chief of police is a big priority. Hopefully I'm naming
somebody by December. Naming somebody by December so that he

(35:52):
or she can get out in the community, talk to
the residents. Yeah, they're they're here's a rule, you're not
allowed to referee. But also, you know, here's the problem though,
Like we live in Pittsburgh. Pitt is in the ACC.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
You know he should have at least done the ACC
instead of the Big ten.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Whatever your point, Corey.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yeah, to reopen Pole Eyes, right.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
I'm standing across from it. I don't think it's opening anytime.

Speaker 10 (36:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:23):
The new building looks way better.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
How how does it feel to be carrying on the
legacy that your father started as a mayor of Pittsburgh.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
Oh, I think it's great.

Speaker 8 (36:35):
I think you know, being here with my sister and brother,
my wife Katie, the kids, doing what I did as
a kid, standing on this corner.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
It's it's emotional.

Speaker 8 (36:43):
I think it'll really hit, you know, on the actual
day when you get sworn in.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
But even standing on stage last night.

Speaker 8 (36:52):
When I looked out, it kind of got me for
a second because I saw people that put up yard
signs for him when he ran for city council and
they were older Connor T shirt throwbacks yesterday for mayor.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
So it was it was a great moment.

Speaker 8 (37:05):
And you know, I'm sure if he and my mom
were here, they say, Okay, this is great, Now go
to work, and it's.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Like, yeah, we got a big job ahead of us. Now,
do you promise that going forward, we won't screw up
and misspell anybody's name on the Pittsburgh Walk of Fame
from now on.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
I know, I feel bad for Michael Keaton. It was
exactly interesting.

Speaker 8 (37:24):
I got to see him that day and my dad
had given him a proclamation, Oh now we're thirty something
years ago, and he remembered it. And I just think
that's the cool thing about Pittsburgh is you do something
for Pittsburgh and they take it to heart because it
means something to be from Pittsburgh. And I think that's
the energy that we have to have when we take
office in January, to build on that, to talk about

(37:47):
how great our city is and start believing in ourselves again,
because we are the greatest city in America, and let's
talk about it.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Are we going to be able to red up for
the NFL Draft?

Speaker 6 (37:58):
Oh, don't you worry.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
We got to read up ready to go.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
We're gonna We're gonna sole my line.

Speaker 8 (38:04):
I was saving that for a little bit, but uh,
we'll see so.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
But no, I think it's a I think it's a
great time uh to be the mayor.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
We're gonna have fifty million eyes on the city of Pittsburgh,
and I think now's our time to sell ourselves again.
Sell you know, growth and opportunity and why our neighborhoods
are unique, and the arts and culture and music that
we have in Pittsburgh. Let's put that on the world
stage and we'll compete with anybody. And that's got to
be our job that week of the draft.

Speaker 7 (38:34):
I saw your acceptance speech last night. Great job. You
said that the road ahead is long and steeply uphill.
Are we to believe that this administration is finally going
to widen rialto street.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
That's that was on the list.

Speaker 6 (38:53):
That's you know, at least you got the hint to that.
I'm not sure.

Speaker 8 (38:57):
I'm not sure if pendant will allow us.

Speaker 6 (38:59):
To do that, but we will definitely ask.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Uh Corey O'Connor, the brand new mayor of the City
of Pittsburgh with us here this morning at congratulations.

Speaker 8 (39:08):
Man.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
I know this is an exciting time for you and
we're all really happy for you. And the last question
I have for you is simply this. Please name for
us your top three favorite Pittsburgh restaurants. If someone's coming
into town, where do you tell them they have to go?

Speaker 8 (39:23):

trouble if I named the raw you know, neighborhood spot,
