Speaker 1 (00:02):
And 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 2 (00:10):
So I'm I'm pumped for him me too. Man well said,
good luck, Corey.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
And it's probably his comms teams like do you hear
what they're talking about?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
No, you're not calling.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
No, they're talking about the rehooterification of the United States
of America?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Do you promise to put the.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
Top five restaurants? And why is it Hooters?
Speaker 6 (00:30):
All?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I don't know. Okay, let's can you name five Hooters locations?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
He there's only one Square, the only one I know.
So there's multiple ones. Wasn't there one or was that
a Rod Woodson's grill? 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 2 (00:52):
Okay. Then there's one in Monroeville right by the mall.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
All right, I don't I'd never make it out that way, Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And then we're out Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
It was then I realized the North Hills had been
deprived of the Hooters all these years.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
We didn't get any tweets about that there's no Hooters
in the North Hills.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
No, that was just validation. We had named all of
the Hooters in town.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
It is a bummer. Where did the North Hills get
their boobs?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Then they had to travel?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And really that's why real estate prices were so low
there for so long. And now they're astronomical because they
have Off the Hook, which is really good.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That plays is Awesome's Off the Hook.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, and it's close to Cranberry, which doesn't have enough restaurants.
It's the burb of the Burg. No, that's Steubenville.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So funny getting a text from Guardell saying, Cuz, where
is Cranberry?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
How does you not know where Cranberry? Well, it's very simple.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
He grew up in Pittsburgh before the walls of Jericho
came crumbling down.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You stayed in your quadrant.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I know where the hell Cranberry was for my whole
child life, fair Point.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
And he didn't grow up. He didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
He wasn't a young adult here. He came back here,
It's true. Yeah, he left before.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's weird It's kind of like because pursuita is has
a lot of the same upbringing dynamics that Gardell did,
which is when you're raised in a house of Pittsburgh's,
it doesn't have to be in Pittsburgh for you to
be a Pittsburgh Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Oh, definitely, Like Ki Wilster is evidence of that.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Right, But listen to Gardell's voice, and he left here
in eighth grade.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, you know what I mean, like his dad.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
His death was the he was the best, the funniest,
he was still the best person.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He was a great guy.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
But pursues like that too. You're just raised in the culture.
So yeah, I get your point. Cranberry had not popped yet.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, and nobody went anywhere else, you know, like wherever
you were from in that area, Like I just stayed
in the East, right, you know. I mean We've talked
about this a million times. But like when you talk
about like, hey, like you know, bopping around on the
North Side and doing all this, I'm like, no, I
went to summer school on the North Side at CCAC
(03:28):
and saw somebody get pulled up on with shotguns out
the window and made the undress in front of us
all and I didn't go back until the Deutschtown Music
Frsty when I was like forty.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, they do have weird fraternity pranks over there at CCAC,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
No, this was like gang stuff, motormouth mic.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
There's still a little bit going on, but at any rate,
Hooters just coming back to Florida, but with a much
more community minded business approach.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Apparently, Yes, the businessmen who started it, who are now
in their seventies, have reacquired the chain and want to
bring back the re Hooterization of America.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
By basically saying, no more ass.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
Cheeks hanging out. You know, the shorts are going to
be at an appropriate length. They're going back to like
you know, the girl next door Hooters waitress, just boobs, just.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Boobs, just boobs, no ass, which feels kind of.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Racial to me.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh oh really, I kind of think.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Why, meaning that you have to be a boobie guy.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
No, I think maybe it's just my own prejudice because
it's Florida, and I immediately think everything they do is
motivated by that down there. But I have a lot
of family down there, so I mean I always joke
about that there, and they're like mixed race families, so.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well, I mean these guys are clearly boob guys. I
mean they named a restaurant Hooters.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
But like the butt is such a big part of
today's culture. It very much is huge, literally more than
it used to be, is my point. Well, leading the
way is a particular demographic like that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You'd think that they would open like a chain of
dump trucks, duncan dunks.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, restaurant dumpers, the big dumper, come on in dumpers. Yeah, man,
it's just good business. Well, maybe one will open up
in Station Square.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Station Square just had another restaurant closed. Let me look
at this, uh terene. Let's see uh terene Yeah, meaning
from the earth. They just correctly have no idea what
it is. But it's just another you know place in
Station Square that's closing, which is just constantly kerene t
r R E n an E. And they had salads, bowls,
(06:02):
flat breads, but that just the noos and that was
the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Breads, that was the problem.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
Yeah, flat bread flat butts.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Isn't there couldn't there be like a gluten bit of
bepos or something.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Family pasta and big asses.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, I am shocked. I don't think there was any
shortage of big asses. And I'm shocked that one closed though.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Do you remember when it closed and they put they
put everything for sale that was in the restaurant, and
they had a pope's head, yeah something. I think it
was three hundred dollars for the pope's head. The deal,
I think, so deal really, but I don't I don't
know if it was like a pasta maker and like
pasta came out of the pope's mouth, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It was like a full on pop. It was like
would have been more expensive.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
It was a real, like actual sized pope head. I mean,
I've never seen a pope, but I just assume it's
pretty close.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Yeah, I missed opportunity.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
If that doesn't shred some cheese.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It just starts throwing up parmesan.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
More. No, I can't even eat now.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
We know if it's a new pulp, if it's Saciago,
which actually we're gonna kind of stick with, you know,
things closing here to kick off news this hour brought
to you by your neighborhood Ford store. Sun mixing with
clouds today in high fifty six, A century old ice
cream store that has served up cones and shakes for
(07:36):
generations might never reopen. And that is according to government documents.
Clavon's ice Cream parlor on Penn Avenue in the Strip
District is up for sheriff sale.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
That is on December the first.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I'm very sad about this.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I was just in the Strip District.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
I guess it was a couple of weeks ago now,
and I would thought for sure because it was a Saturday.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I'm like, why isn't Clavons open?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Because I walked past and I thought, I and it's
like a weird just at hours or something.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So the woman who bought it, she had like eight
kids and her husband did something else and like he was,
you know, a prominent business person downtown and she had
also many business ventures and a ton of kids.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
We interviewed her.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Remember this, Yeah, I do remember this, And I think
it had started to only be open for special like.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
You had to rent it out.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, like birthday parties and stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
It kind of got to that point and she was
saying they were having a tough time staffing it. Look,
every place is having a tough time staffing right now, yep.
And you know how much can an ice cream place
pay if you're not I think that she was talking
about like, oh, all the kids can work here, you know,
and maybe it just wasn't realistic.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I don't well the area that it's in, like that's tough,
you know, like in our.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Neighborhood, Scoops, like it's my daughter's classmates.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Like it's just it's the classic high school kid job.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yes, that you can walk to and walk home from
Scoops on Beverly, Like nobody's nobody's able to go down to.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
The Strip district not as much and then get picked up.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And those hours are weird, and I don't know how
much foot traffic that place gets. Like it's it's awesome,
but it's kind of stranded in a part of the
strip where there's not a ton of foot traffic. If
that same place was down on Penn where all the
craziness agree yeah with like Yinzerberg and Grandpa Joe's and
all that stuff, that place would be bumping.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
But I think I hope what happens is one of
these developers, because there are a lot of developments going
up around where Clevean's is, and that part of the
strip is actually on the come up in terms of
foot traffic development, not as much as it used to be,
but like if you sit at Dianoia's, like on a
nice afternoon, you will see so.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Much foot traffic coming from that direction, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Man, its to never be like this down here? The
hell are they coming from?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Because there's a lot of developments, like a couple of
blocks up right. So yes, if one of those places,
like the developers, buys that and turns it into more
of like a general store maybe and keeps the infrastructure
of that because it is a classic ice cream parlor.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
It is like the stools, the.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Bar, It's got a mahogany wine behind. You know, it's
like awesome.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
It used to be an apothecary, right, and then it
was a pharmacy and ice cream store. So it has
that look, which is what I adore about itself.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Awesome.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I hope, I hope it gets preserved somehow.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Yeah, it sounds like there was some kind of notice.
This was filed in an Alleghany County Common Police Court
that indicated a default notice against Clavon's and it showed
a debt balance of nearly one hundred thousand dollars. So
the current current ownership group listed the share of sale
documents purchased the parlor in twenty thirteen. It's been for
(10:57):
sale for the past three years and there's no take,
which is but to Bill's point, it is.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
It's just far enough up.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
But that being said again, when I was in the
Strip a couple you know, weeks ago or weekends ago,
I parked up that way because I wanted to walk up.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
And down and I kind of wanted to get the
exercise first of all, and I just kind of wanted to.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
See some stuff, you know, had the experience for don't exactly,
but there was like a bike shop up that way
that I had never been to.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
That's what I mean is like there were plenty of
things on the way.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
It was not just residential or parking spots or you know,
doe spots.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
And things like that.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Yeah, there were other things going on. And now yeah,
I even walked in kindred cycles. There were like hats
and like you know, in additions, it was you know,
not just shopping for bikes or anything like that. But
there was plenty of stuff going on. So if there
could be a little bit of development around there. Maybe
somebody also.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We fixed it. See guys fixed it.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
We fix everything in like the first fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I really that's going to be the Hooters.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You watch the next It's Hooters.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Dwayne Roberts, the billionaire credited with inventing the frozen burrito, passed.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Away this week at the age of eighty eight.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
He actually passed away in his sleep on Saturday night,
just days before his eighty ninth birthday.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
His wife, Kelly J.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Roberts, confirmed the news, saying that he was surrounded by
family and their three dogs when he died. Before entering
the food industry, Roberts served in the US military. He
changed the food market by nineteen fifty six by inventing
the frozen burrito, which has become a staple in American homes.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I kind of feel like that's one of those things
you could lay claim to and nobody can check you
on it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, Like I invented post its.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Right, I invented the TV dinner?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You did?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, but you know who did invent post its and
white out? Mike Netsmith's parents from The Monkeys, Really, I
think both of his parents were three m scientists, not
Romeo Michelle.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, but that was what they used in that movie.
That's rights so funny.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, but yeah, I advented TV dinners.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Is a hard one to prove.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Frozen burrito. I mean, I'm semi fan. It's a it's
a hard thing to cook. Been many years.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's just it's never really right.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
It never cooked all the way through.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
If you microwave a frozen burrito, it always had one
part of it that wasn't hot enough and another part
that was lava.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Trader Joe's has like a cold soft one, which sounds
disgusting now that I'm saying it out loud, but.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'll have a cold soft it's.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It doesn't You don't have to do all the work
that you have to do with a frozen one.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You just put it in for the time allotted. Oh
I thought you gave it, mister Miyagi.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
You just want to.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, and then you slap your hands and then be
paste goes all over the room.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's such a bad visual.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I never was into him so much, but I ate
tons of frozen food. The burritos not so much. Didn't
love the britos. I love burritos.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Those were not my thing. I never went to seven
eleven got them. I know people love tiketos at seven eleven.
Isn't that your thing?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Don't you love to?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
I make flauntas. I don't make taketho's. I make flountos
at home.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
No no, but don't you go to isn't oh no, no,
it's another friend of mine. She's like, she always goes
to seven eleven.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I'm forgettable.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Don't worry about what is a planta.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Is like every other Mexican food that you know, you
just wrap it up and you know it's bean paste
and all that other funk stuff. But yeah, you bake
it in the oven and it gets nice and crispy delicious.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I just wondered what his final wishes would be as
the maker of the frozen burrito.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Mourn him for thirty seconds and then turn the casket,
wrap them up really.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
More than for thirty more seconds. Rest and Pico de Gaio.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Daniel day Lewis recently told the UK's Big Issue that
Brian Cox is one of the reasons that he's been
dragged into an unwanted debate around method acting. Cox has
spoken out against method acting in various interviews over the
last few years, frequently citing his succession co star Jeremy
Strong as an example of why the acting style is
effing annoying. Cox once speculated that Daniel day Lewis had
(15:32):
to break from acting at fifty five years old due
to the burnout of being a method actor, saying day
Lewis couldn't go on doing that every day. Day Lewis
stressed that method acting is simply about freeing yourself, so
you present your colleagues with a living, breathing human being
that they can interact with, adding it's very simple. So
it pisses me off this whole Oh he went full
(15:52):
method thing?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
What the f?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
You know?
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Because it's invariably attached to the idea of some kind
of lunacy. I choose to stay and splash around rather
than jump in and out or play practical jokes with
whoopy cushions between takes or whatever people think is how
you should behave as an actor.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Well, and Daniel day clap back at him about that, right, So,
I mean, I just think there's more than one way
to skin a fish, right, like yeah, and a cat.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I guess the phrase is cat not fish?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, one more way to are people skinning cats?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I hope they're not.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Well, there is more than one way, so at least
two people have yeah, or.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
One guy who's in the ass to the head.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Head.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
This is why Daniel Davis too, I can't find enough
way to skin the cat. If it works for him,
what do you care? If you're Brian Cox, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It's an interruption to the set, right or to the process.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, well there's I told the story before about how Holdbrook.
You know, the venerable actor who played Mark Twain uh
back that he since passed, but he was in the
movie Lincoln and he gets on set and Steven Spielberg
like brings him on. He's play playing Steven Adams or
who he is. And he's like, oh, Daniel Day, I
(17:15):
gotta tell you man, you know, great to meet you.
That movie you did my left Foot I just can't believe.
And then Steven Spielberg's like, how he So he's in
character all the time. You have to refer to him
as mister President or Abraham even when we're not rolling that.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
He's a method actor.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
And Hal Holbrook's like, huh okay.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Anyways, you were great in that movie.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I'll tell you what. How the heck did you do
all that? He's just like, I'm not paying attention to it.
I know he hears me.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I don't care.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
But Brian Cox is probably mostly pissed about that because
on the show Succession, Jeremy Strong, who played his son,
also utilized method techniques.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
And and it's annoying to be around. Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I get that part.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
But they're saying like, I don't have to do that,
you know, and I feel bad for the people who
are I think is what I would say.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
I wouldn't be like, you're dumb Daniel da Lewis, I
mean not knowing whatever he's referring to. In between takes,
he's saying like, I'm trying to give the people I'm
acting with this you know, kind of receptacle basically, like
they're constantly acting with somebody who's who's giving the whole time.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, but if you're trying to like have craft.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Services with this guy and be like, hey, hey pass
me the VEYO you concoction, Yeah, that would be kind
of a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Remind me of one Tom and Illinois. Shut You're from.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
God didn't Dustin Hoffman do that?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Or there's that story of him and Laurence Olivier on
this side of Marathon Man where he had kept himself
up for days or something.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, kept himself up for days before the crucial scene,
and Olivier is like, why don't you.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Try acting, my dear boy, Like why the hell would
you put yourself through all that?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, those guys all are the descendants from an acting
standpoint of Brando. Yes, and so it's it's Brando, it's
de Niro, it's Dustin Hoffman, it's some of the greatest
actors of that generation that are that's what they do.
And so Daniel day Lewis is just an extension of
that train of acting.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It's funny like Brando is kind of like Elvis. People
who only know the later Elvis or later Brando don't
understand the seismic impact they had when they first hit
and how it changed the world, Brando especially. I think
it's been told enough in the case of Elvis, But
with Brando, people don't realize nobody did the kind of
(19:52):
acting that you see now all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No one.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
He was the first guy to act real and not
be like, oh, Darling, come here, I must embrace you.
I mean, he acted like a real person on screen
on the waterfront.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Just watch on the Waterfront, Oh yeah, watch Streetcar? Yeah
or Streetcar I mean. And the other part of that
was because the movie industry was started by actors, stage actors,
broadway stars, silent movie people, the people that were just
animated and sort of almost animatronic in a way, and
(20:27):
there were no movie stars when movies first started. So
he was a complete break from all that. And like
the vulnerability and that he has in Streetcar is insane.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, when you go back and watch it.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
And then at the end of his life, well yes,
I mean that was the impersonation everyone did, right. And
then by the end of his life, he's like taking
off his pants and restaurants and sitting there with a monkey,
and you're like, what.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Is going on with this guy?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Remember when he brought the little Guy home from Island
of Doctor Moreau, he met the world's littlest man and
he turned them into mine, which was the Impetus four
mini me it.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
He dressed him.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Like like he would dress and he brought him back
to the United States because he just got such a
kick out of this tiny guy.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
That is hilarious.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Actually, you know what's what's also hilarious and that makes
me think of it is have you ever seen the
video of Mike Tyson meeting like one of those tiny
little people, get what his name is, and he's like
punching him and he picks him up and he kisses
his cheek and he's like, yes, you know, cradling him,
and they're like, what are you doing.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
He's like, I thought he was a.

Baby's thirty, Yeah, he's thirty.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
He's a thirty year old dude, a little cute like
a little toddler.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And he's like, he's so cute. No, man, I'm a
brown ass man. But he can't do anything about him
because he is. He's a tiny little like toy toy dog,
tiny fellow. What's the weather going to be like today? Son?
Speaker 5 (21:49):

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Mike Pursuida has got your sports right now on the
DVE Morning show Mike.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Sports Up, brought to you by Virgual Applige. Other than
Practice Squad Pickup, markz Valdez Scantling. The Steelers didn't add
a wide receiver in advance of Tuesday's four PMNFL trade deadline.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers emphasized yesterday he wasn't sure they needed to,
despite all the chatter to the contrary.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Yeah, I mean that's a lot of outside talk. You
got to look at the way we're playing and the
personnel groups that we like. You know, we're a multiple
personnel team. We were a lot of guys out there.
We had an offensive lineman played a lot of snaps obviously,
an now plays a lot of snaps, and Johnny mcpatt
and Connor gets in there on some plays, rotating three
(23:28):
different acts, a lot of different receivers. So we're not
a big three receiver team in general. And when you
know Covin's come back and played really well for us,
you know, Roman's been more consistent. So there was probably
more noise outside of the facility than maybe inside of
the city.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Yeah, and if they stay healthy, they'll probably get away
with it and whatever. They're capable of achieving big if
they'll achieve. But you know, they're not the only team
that the in that category either. And I don't know
that there was a guy out there other than a
waddle or you know, one of the Crystal Lave, somebody
that if DK Metcalf gets hurt, who steps up and
(24:08):
becomes number one if he gets hurt?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
The answer is no one.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Would Jacobe Myers have been that guy that's what I mean.
That's why I don't know why people were so up
in arms about that one, because to me, Alave is
a different story.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Possibly.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
You know, he even on the deadline day tweeted out
like the eyeballs thing as all those moves were happening
and he was standing pat I think he was hoping
to get the hell out of the big easy because
it ain't that easy down there.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
It's terrible. And then they're selling pieces off. But that
other receiver, Rashid Shahid.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yeah, he went to the Seahawks, and you know they've
had this plan in place for a while now, to
a mass draft capital and then have the option to
trade up next spring and go get a quarterback because
the guy they got now is forty one. We'll see.
I just don't know that there was the needle mover
(25:02):
out there at the price they could afford.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Agreed.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Rogers talked a lot about the team and how it's
comprised yesterday and propose to theory that there's more to this
team than meets the eye at wide receiver and throughout
the locker room.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
It's that what you can't measure, which is often the
most important part of the chemistry in the locker room.
And I think Mike did a good job, you know.
And the team has gone to the trope every year,
which is a good foundation building for us.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
The guys get along.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
I was telling Marquaz, there's no bad apples in here.
There's nobody to worry about. Nobody with consistent late issues
or team rule issues. Hickens now that there's a lot
of rules in general, but now there's a bunch of
good guys in there that care about each other and
play for each other.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
That's the thing with Pickings that people don't understand. A
guy was he was not a teammate, constant headache. As
much of an awesome player as he was. It is hard,
even when you're doing well, to have a guy operating
outside of the law.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
And you can apply that since Rogers' arrival to a
guy who operates outside of the detail, that marriage would
not have worked right. Rogers is a great quarterback, Pickens
is a great receiver. He can run and jump and catch.
He would not have been doing it with the precision
that Rogers wants it done. And Rogers would not have
(26:27):
that would not abide.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
No, And I think Dak was desperate to make sure
that they had another weapon down there to offset CD,
to free up some opportunities, and he is dealing with
it much like you know, Mike Tomlin always got all
that credit all those years for dealing with Ab, you know,
And in retrospect, I think AB got crazier, for lack
of a better way of saying it, I think more
(26:49):
difficult and more difficult as the years went on.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Definitely as he got more and more money.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
And I also think that Ben was just better with
that kind of receiver, like I think Ben with Pickens
would have been Electra.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Oh my god. Yes, yeah, he had a ton of
those guys over.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
That's a great point because Ben was more night at
the improv than do it off the script.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Run around, make something happen, scrambled drill every play.
Speaker 8 (27:12):
I can do this, you can do that. Let's let's
merge your peanut butter with my chocolate.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I mean, we saw what he did with Martavis Bryant,
like a freak like that. He was just constantly targeting
way down the field.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
But did you see the clip from Ben's podcast yesterday?
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Well, I was gonna use that Okay in a little.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
While, Okay, good a bunch of guys didn't practice yesterday,
including Scotty Miller, Corey Trice Junior.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Just frustrating.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Yeah uh, Jabrill Pepper's Cole Hulkom, Alex high Smith, Isaac
say Malu, and Darnelt Washington. High Smith, by the way,
named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Great week could
have picked a couple players, Sayton Wilson could have picked
maybe one or two other guys off of that performance
against the Colts. For the Chargers, guard Mackay Beckton was limited,
(28:07):
and offensive tackle Bobby Hart did not practice.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Heart is number three number.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
These are the guys number four or five that comes in.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
With umber one and two are already out. Heart is
number three. They just picked up Trevor Penning from the Saints.
He worked reportedly at both tackles yesterday's Chargers trying to
figure out where to play him.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
He played both in New Orleans.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
But that is not a healthy situation for the Chargers
in general, and justin Herbert potentially in particular.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Steelers never take advantage of that. I swear, nope, never we.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Hear about it.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I get all excited and then they some journeyman that
nobody's ever heard of has the day of his life.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
Well, I think that's the I think that's the path
to win in Sunday Night, Dominate the defensive trench, shut
down the run. By the way, they're not a running
backs too, I mean they're down the three.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
No, but even more reason to not get too excited
and try to be a hero.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Right, But I just win that part of it. Make
them one dimensional and Herbert's gonna make place. They have
a good receiving course, They're gonna make some place. But
if you have them in obvious passing situations, you have
a chance to sack them and turn them over. And
as you got you, I'm sorry, let's just say there's
your If you let them dictate, it ain't happening.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Abby, what's coming up?
Speaker 7 (29:27):
If you want to be like Paul McCartney anytimebody, if
somebody says something you don't.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Like, send them boop.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
On the way, Bill and I will do our pick
six segment, Missy Matthews, Guy Junker, and when we return,
we'll raid our respective algorith I've been.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Trying to win the thousand dollars in as long as
conduct has been going.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I'm letting the DVEE every day.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Congratulations to Shane from Pittsburgh. He's the latest winner of
a thousand bucks in workforce cash.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
We'll give you the keyword at.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
The top of the hour nine am through nine pm,
thirteen times a day. Enter it at dB dot com
and you he could win a thousand bucks.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
In workforce cash. That is off comes from one O
two point five.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Ev.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Hey, it's Bill Crawford here for Winter Nation. Living in Pittsburgh.
You want your home to be comfortable year round.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Mike PURSUITA. Jacob bract is our producer and it's time
once again to raid our algorithms. We're rating, we're riding out.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
We're all right, So let's start it off with Mike Pursuda. Mike,
what what did you find in your algorithm here this week?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
You know a couple of things.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Actually this was like a two for one.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
There's a clip of Ben Roethlisberger doing a podcast, which
I didn't even know he did. He sounds pretty cool, right,
But Ben in the clip I saw still a little
salty over the way his career ended back in twenty
twenty one.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I still think it's funny because like they given Bim
Aaron dk all these things and I got a center
that had never played center before my last year.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
But that's the same thing that Ben.
Speaker 8 (31:10):
The really funny part about it is that made the
rounds to one Kendrick J. Green Blue check verified offensive
lineman in the NFL, and he tweeted back, damn talk
about catching strays.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Jeez, Louise lo l good humored about it.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Kendrick Green knew like that. You know that was not
his forte.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Remember Ben that whole season being like, I think he'd
be an awesome guard. Seriously, like he's he could be
one of the best guards in the league.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
You know what, he's good at polo. He should do
another sport. I think he would be good at that,
really good. He did play a little center at college.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
A little not enough to plan Ben's last year around.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
It did not go well.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Didn't work here, No, it did not, Abby.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
What's in your algorithm?
Speaker 7 (32:01):
So Michael Jackson's ad libs are such a major part
of every track.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
It makes his music very recognizable.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
There's even, you know, kind of part of the lore
that Quincy Jones would say that, like Michael Jackson would
even do tracks where he was just beatboxing, and that
was before the instrumentation was actually recorded, and that's why
it's so percussive and it's so tightly aligned with all
of the instrumentation. But a fan took every non word
(32:31):
from Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal and put it all together for.
Speaker 12 (32:35):
You, So I would like you to enjoy.
Speaker 13 (32:55):
It.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Sounds like somebody walking through a field of legos.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Chuck a chuckle, shock a chuckle. That's awesome sound.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
That's all right, So that I'm gonna go to mind
now because that goes nicely into mine.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
You know.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I love when people take already existing content and then
put a great soundtrack underneath it. And sometimes it gets
multi multi layered. But this is just one guy who
took a reverend uh his sermon and turned it into
a little song. And this reverend was railing against smoking marijuana.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Smoke.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I get so much.
Speaker 14 (33:46):
I get some skillers, I get something to drink because
I got.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I mean, turned it into an anthem. Oh yeah, oh
my god, that funny love it.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
I got the margin.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I've been woken up. Oh it's so Funny's bill?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
What do you got?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
So there's a lot of stand up comedy in my
Algo and this guy I had never heard of. This
is a really funny premise. He's talking about being good
with kids. His name is a paradox. This is Ahmed Wineberg.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It's weird.
Speaker 13 (34:36):
It's weird being thirty five. Like I want kids, you
know I do. I'm because I'm good with kids. And
when you're good with kids, you gotta have one. You know,
you can't because when you you can't just play with kids.
We live in a up world. I see kids everywhere.
They're like, hey, I'm like, we can't, dude, Like I
(34:59):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I know it would be so fun.
Speaker 13 (35:05):
Hide and seek and I'm a zombie, but your mom
wouldn't like it, and I can't.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
It's true.
Speaker 13 (35:14):
They're out there. I saw a kid on the subway.
He like waved at me. I was just like, dude,
I could rock your world, Like you have no idea
how much fun we could have. So Epstein's in the news.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Radio, Madam, He's.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Got your news and we come back.
Speaker 5 (35:44):

don't like.

coming up.
