Antonio Brown is under arrest and back in the United States,
about six months after the former NFL superstar was accused
of trying to shoot and kill a man at an
Aiden Ross boxing event in Florida. TMZ Sports is told
that thirty seven year old Ab was extradited this week,
with United Arab Emirates authorities shipping the retired wide out
(00:29):
back to the States from Dubai, where he was allegedly
attempted to evade the reach of the American legal system.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
When I first heard that, I was like, he probably
thought he was just going to do boys, and.

everything blue? Where's blue? Boys?

being like you.

Now now my blood pressure because I have to wear
an Apple watch, my blood pressure is like one fifty
over one fifteen, which is I guess really high. So
everyone's freaking out. So I had to have them.
Speaker 4 (02:25):

Yeah, Well, I mean, you know, come on, I mean
I take so many. I take more pills than my mother,
So it's like the pills. I'm like, you know, I'd
drive in traffic and I got the test. I'm like,
it's okay, anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Wait what I drive in traffic? I was like two
hours I was.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I was in traffic for my doctors putment in la
Oh okay, it was like two hours in traffic and
then they weren't going to let me in and I
had to beg for my life because I promised my
girlfriend my cholesterol test for her birthday.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
That's how crazy it is. Wait, wait, that's how crazy
she is.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That's so crazy you requires her to have that be
her birthday present for you to take care of your paperwork.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
For the record, I took her to a five star
hotel in Phoenix. We went to the world famous pizza
Bianca and the whole okay, I didn't know if quest
had a little blue box. Yeah, And the thing was,
I got off the hook to have to do it
again next year. But I'll get to the point. For
the blood pressure was there. I had a telecall because
(03:29):
I'm literally my heart's been.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I've been messed up for like two weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And if you noticed if I've been, I've been messed
up for two weeks.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
No couldn't. I just thought you were always.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That, Yeah, long story, I'll try to make it quicker.
Was I had have i'd have a telecall with my doctor.
And the other time she had for like ten days
was last night, like right before the Penglin game.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
So I tried to have my It's Shales. You're at
Shales bar Shell's book. They have a special section for
that hair. You're a doctor's. So then they never called.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So I'm like, I'm like, oh, we we can't we
you know we. I'm going to the game. I'm not
waiting for the call, so I'm like, let's go. So Rachel,
because she's the best, she's like she called the place
and was like hey, so she rescheduled me for tomorrow
with somebody different. I'm like okay. But then my real
doctor felt so bad she missed me. She called me.
I was at my seat at the game and she calls.
(04:31):
I'm like, oh, that's my doctor. I better take it.
So I put my headphones on and gave her the
story and between and so this poor nice old lady
next to me had to hear everything about my call,
about my colonotope, about about my view, about my balls.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
My hurdy.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I'm like, no, my balls are feeling good.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
She moved her head. She's Pittsburgh lady. She never looked up,
and I'm just like, because she never moved her head,
would you?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And it was sold out less night, so it was
just a roar, so I'm really screaming, No, my balls
are over. That poor woman. Did you buy her a
beer or something? At least no, I would buy her beer.
She was like, she was such a nice lady. But
she actually had like a blanket wrapped around her like
she was old.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Oh okay, she wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
One of the crochet's at the games is that one
s don't go to the game if she does that blanket.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
She made it fast. She was all, well, she's old.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
She's used to people talking about their balls, and to
everybody over the age of sixty five, that's all they
talk about is their health.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And yes, let me talk to that doctor when you're done.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm almost getting that point though almost every conversation now
with everybody, but I'm trying not to. But yeah, it's
just just a great game. It was fun. But thank
you to my girlfriend. She I have to wear an
apple watched out, but not on one station.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You got to watches on right now?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Is this is my regular watch. I'm not taking this
one off just for my stage. I can't be the
Apple double wristed right now, right now.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But the same thing he's got to wear that he's
pissed that he has to wear the Apple Watch now,
and I'm like, why would you be pissed about something
that can like the Yes, Paddy.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Put her Apple Watch on Billy and that's how she found.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Out Rachel are like the same people.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Well submit you and Billy are the same, Yeah, compared
to you're medically like, you know, a loof though you
know you don't really care.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well, I mean I care, but I can't have it
almost interrupted a Penguin game.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
That there's caring. Yeah, it's three three yeah, and now
your blood pressure to the room.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's like jar for my high blood pressure.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
If he'd be under control, my balls.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Doc Joe Barnick is with us, so you know, Joe,
this weekend, this is crazy. PPG Paints Arena tonight and
tomorrow night sold out.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Not a seat to be had for Billy Strings.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
And I want to tell you there is nothing more
fun than watching somebody from the start of their career,
as I mean a young kid. I saw Billy as
a kid performing and to watch him rise up through
the ranks. He was on Stern yesterday. He did NPR
Tiny Desk. He is on top of the world. He
(07:37):
sold out two shows in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, not like New
York City like you know, yeah, he could.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Sell out three shows here.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
No, he could go anywhere and sell that many shows out.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
And I remember playing on a bill with.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Billy Strings when he was sixteen seventeen years old and
we were playing. I was sitting in with the Cause
with Jeff Matt from Dark Star Orchestra, and we did
a dead set and opening for Leftover Salmon, and Billy
was in town to play a midnight show at the
Rex that night. Now the res capacity four hundred people.
(08:14):
He had sold that out. He was I think seventeen
or eighteen at that point at that time. And I
get off stage and Leftover and all those guys are
jumping up, Kyle and everyone are up there, and then
it's like the next thing you know, I'm looking down
the alley as I'm tearing down off the stage in
mckey's Rocks because it was a feastival in mckey's Rocks
and a dude jumps out of a guitar or a
(08:36):
car with a guitar, like out of an uber and
it's Billy and he's running through the alleys in McKee's rocks,
runs right up. Leftover is already playing. Now they're into
their first song, and they were expecting Billy to be
there on time and he was going to sit in
with them, and.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
He ran right up to the stage.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
And it was one of the coolest things I've ever
seen because he's a young kid, you know what I mean.
It's just this like little kid, it looks like to
me at this point, running with the guitar and he's
like hey when we're like hey Bell, you know, he
ran right on stage while they were playing New Where's
di I was plugged in and the band just turns
around like, hey, Belly's here. A crowd goes crazy, and
then this kid just starts tearing it and I'm like,
(09:12):
that's one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
I just watched that kid run two blocks onto the
stage and he started ripping with Leftover Salmon. Fast forward
ten years later, he owns the entire jam band scene
right now. It is insane.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
The only thing that sucks.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I used to be able to see him for thirty dollars,
used to be able to see him with seven hundred,
eight hundred people one thousand, and then it turned to
five thousand, and then it turned to ten thousand, and
now it's going to be sixteen thousand for two straight
nights at PBG Paint's arena.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And when you follow a dude's.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Career and you watch him and Marcus King was like
this to a lesser degree too, because you could see
him in those clubs, and when you get to see
them in the clubs before they explode, it feels like
you have this investment in the artist, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
What I mean, Yes, we're part of the jersey. You're
happy for them.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
And then the inevitable thing that happens for a big
part of that fan base is the people who were
invested early on kind of turn on them and they're like, ah,
you know, it's like the hipster thing.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I liked him before they got famous, youn went electric.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's kind of like that. I don't
think he's there at all. I saw him last summer
at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, and that was one
of my all time favorite concert experiences. If you're going
to see Billy Strings this weekend, you are going to
have your mind blown. And I think there's gonna be
a lot of people. I think he has or his
(10:44):
fan base, have turned more people into fans of his
that would have never thought it was something they liked
than anybody I can really think of. You know, like
if you like rock and someone's like, oh dude, this
band is you gotta go? He CA's the elephant, you
know what I mean, Like, Yeah, this is my bag.
This is a situation where I think his fan base
(11:06):
is growing exponentially because so many people who don't listen
to bluegrass or jam grass or whatever, you know, sort
of subgenre you want to label it. They don't listen
to any of that, but then they watch him and
listen to him sing in the tradition that he carries
on because he's very much a keeper of the flame
when it comes to the American Songbook and the the
(11:29):
you know, bluegrass cannon, they watch that and think, oh
my god, I love all of this, but they never
would have thought that. And I think that's what's happening
to him, is he is getting big on a massive
scale that I'm not sure it'll translate into like radio
hits for him ever or anything like that. But from
a live performance standpoint, I don't know how you get
(11:49):
bigger than what he's doing right now. I mean, stadiums
maybe eventually. And it's just been a constant upward trajectory
and you've seen it how many times in your life
with Bill.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
I mean, it's it's not more now than ever, right, Joe.
I mean, you know, the amount of arena comics that
exist right now never was a thing when we were
coming up and growing up, like there was maybe one
or two guys at the very most that could do
an arena. Now there's people doing arenas that my neighbors
have never heard of.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
We'll talk about blowing up in kids. I remember when
Pete Davidson was like seventeen, Oh yeah, and he's like
on the kids find he's super cool.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Yeah. I remember doing to him and now boom, he's
bagging Kardashian.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I remember doing Bananas in Jersey with Jim Brewer and
him telling me that the night before he was in
New York doing a set and Pete Davidson was there. Teenager,
He's like, this kid is like the white Dave Chappelle.
He had that much buzz in New York at the time,
and I was like, who the hell is this kid?
There was no clips of him online, and any clip
(12:55):
that I saw was like, all right, that's a kind
of decent bit. But it wasn't about his material. Was
just his energy and his swag like on stage. It
was just different than anybody else.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
There's the thing with comedians is that some people possess
a likability inherently that you can't learn, right, and Pete
always seemed like a guy who used it.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
You just want to hang out with him. He seems
cool and fun and he.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Screw up his own bits like it's and he was
a teenager. It's not like everything he did was relatable, right,
you know, to an adult audience.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
But it was just so different, Like he has a charisma.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, like Randy said, that kind of Chappelle has, and
very very few other people I would say, Eddie Murphy
that I never met Eddie that you could that you
can almost feel it from the TV when he's in
the red suit. But Chappelle has this kind of this
kind of cool glow, like Jimi Hendrix, Spider Man kind
(13:51):
of kind of thing going on that you can't really
create yourself.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Yeah, but like BARGATSI Mulaney, see Tom Sigora, Bert, all
these guys are doing arenas Burt. That never was the
case for anybody other than movie stars. It would be
like a comedian like Robin Williams or somebody like Steve
Martin or Seinfeld, somebody huge.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And Bert came and Bert was like a fat dude
that used to have a joke about wipe and sweat
off his neck. Yeah, n Bert wasn't cool, just like
I don't know how many years ago now.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Mat but like that, it was that long time ago
bed room.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, and now he's in charge of like you know,
the Woodstock of comedy in every city I was.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I was opening for him.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
We did the Midwest where at the Omaha Funny Bone,
and he's like doing Rogan for the first time and
I saw it hit, Like yeah, while he was on Rogan,
he got fifteen thousand followers and then he had that
T shirt of the machine and it was like six
boxes are coming to every city we're going to and
(15:00):
it's selling out on Friday night early show.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, he was happy to have me on his podcast?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
I like that self depreciating. That was he was glad
I was on his show. That's how lowly he was. No, dude,
you're a gem? Are you kidding me? He doesn't love
Joe Bartney? Oh thank you?
Speaker 6 (15:21):
But now it's like, you know, everybody that you could
think of, every movie starts like Tom Cruise is doing
something's burning, you know, like right, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
But yeah, he worked is I mean Bert? Obviously you
guys are fans and friends. He worked his ass off,
like one.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Nobody it gets that big without working their ass off,
And there's like any idea that any of those guys
just got lucky and it all fell into the lap
is just completely unfounded.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That's what That's what I was thinking exactly that when
you're talking about Billy Strings, Yes you have to run
through three alleys to play your third show with a night. Yes,
they get to be that big, and that's when you
don't just sit back. And that was a good show.
Sit have a couple, you know, highlights and Champagnes and.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
That guy's been that guy's been grind in his whole
career and all these comics have been doing the same thing.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
And another theme that is kind of going on here
is there's a good a really strong woman behind them.
Like I consider Bert's wife to be like Sharon Osborne
because he is he's he doesn't you know, he doesn't
have the folks like you know, he's ADHD.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
And I mean that in the best possible way.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
That's hit the way his brain works ADHD.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
And look, that's a generous assessment, So.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I mean seriously, because if you if you talk to Bert,
he's all over the playways, right, So he he has
a million ideas and that's partly why he's so successful.
Everything that he's talking about. I used to sit in
the back of the club and tell him, like scream
out his own bits to him because he would get
lost and just you know, freestyling with the crowd.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Burt is like if the cuckoo for Cocopuffs thing was
a guy.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
He's so genuine.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Very few people are that open to everything, so honest
and emotionally open to that.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
It takes a lot to be like that.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Yeah, well you've been Look you've played Arenas with you know,
Burr and a manner of people.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Burt sells tickets to arenas. I've been lucky enough to
be on arena show. Yeah, but you know still, but
you've seen it firsthand, is what we're saying. You've been
on the stage.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, that level for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oh I remember this is this is not trying to brag.
We were at there's a place next to the Tokyo Tokyo,
next to where the Kings play hockey. It has like
it's like it's six out of seats either. I played
three Nights in the Row with Lisa Lampinelli. We went
to a Kings gang, me and Burr. Like a day later,
people come up and go, hey, Burtnick twice and they
just knew because I was with Lisa Lampinelli three Nights
(17:58):
in the Row bur Bird. Then they recognized Bill and
they go, He's like, how do you get to that level?
He was asking about Binelli and I said, Bill, you
have to kill like the Rolling Stones where people went
and they can't wait to go back and see you again.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
And you know what Bird did.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
He worked hard enough to get to that level where
he kills like the Rolling Stones. When we played the Garden,
he killed and I'm not trying to be he killed
like Hitler liked, no, maybe not. The reference said, He's
like he would have said, we're gonna go take over Brooklyn.
(18:42):
Eighteen thousand people would have walked right over the bridge.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
You mean, like a like a Mussolini. Yeah, that kind
of like if he wanted to use his powers. Yeah, yeah,
he didn't mean him. Yeah right, I just like those people.
I mean, like, I just.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Mean, like just it was every d yeah right, because
me and Andy were just like, where he's just kill
I mean that was when I wasn't on the first
show he did the guard. The second show I was
on it. He's even better at Madison Square Guard. Yeah,
but it's that Sebastian did the same thing. Kevin Hart
did the same thing.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I remember.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
I mean, all these guys were naming are all arena
level comics now.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But Kevin Hart used to do this show two to
three times a year, doing shows in Pittsburgh. Like he
was hitting Pittsburgh that many times, and he was never
You just knew that that guy was going to explode.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
He actually was the first wave of comics blowing up
to the arena level at the numbers that they're doing
right now. Because I remember I went to see him
at PPG before anybody was doing PPG as a comedian, right,
and he did it, and he had all this pyrotechnic stuff,
so he'd be like file on these bitches and like
(19:57):
after every joke there would be like flame guys is
on the side of the stage. And I was like,
I just I never seen comedy at that level, that
big of a stage. It almost doesn't feel right, like
comedy belongs in a basement that's dirty and smoke.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Fil I think like the Chicago Theater. I think the
ben Atum. I think that size theater is the best. Yeah,
that's so like the Fox in Detroit, Like the five
thousand seat theater is the best. It's like so you
get you just get the roar. I remember when I
(20:34):
was with a tel uh Tel Lewis Black and Mitch
Edburgh here. It was so black, it was like Comedy Central. Yeah.
The night of my sister's wedding, they were like, hey,
we know you're in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I go by you left your sister's wedding to go
play the Benham with David Tel Mitch Hedberg. He said,
I don't think you heard me. The first time.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I had my wife, my ex wife tell my mother
because she's like, because I'm like, I have to do it.
And Tracy was like, Mom, if he doesn't do it,
I'll never hear the end of it.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yeah, like you have to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, And I remember I had a great set, and
then I think I was worried. I was like, I
got off stage because I was like, I think, I
think it was good. This is the first big show
ever did and I get then Mitch of course is killing,
and I see Mitch killing, and I'm like them, maybe
mine wasn't that good, right, And then they go to
loose Black. I go, was that Might said okay? And
he knew me a little bit. He goes, how many
(21:34):
applause breaks you want?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Kid?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
But then I brought a tell because he was that yeah.
Well they were flip flopping and yeah. When I brought uh,
mister Hotel up, I go, you know him from Insomniac.

pursued it with your Sports right now on DV getting
ready for Steelers Chargers Sunday night in Los Angeles Sofi
Stadium and all the action here on DVE.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Best stadium in the country. What so cool? There's no walls.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
It's built right down by the water, so there's ocean
breezes that cool it naturally. And it's just pillars holding
up a roof and it's like a clear roof so
it lets the light in, but you don't get the
pounding sun or if whatever rains, what's the rain after
once a.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Moll No, it did rain on the National Championship game
or the playoff game that me like twenty of us
got a party bus two. You got absolutely destroyed and
the game was over and like one, Oh my god,
it was like a twenty eight point underdog and we
took it and they still lost. I forget it was
like five years ago now, I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
It is the eighth what was There's a lot of
information that we needed to put together.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
It was the eighth wonder It is the eighth one
of the world.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
I when I look out the concourse to start walking around,
you feel like you're outside because there's no walls.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Really just view every It looks cool on TV.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
It is the scoreboard, it's it's great. All the scoreboards
are great now, but it's not quite as overwhelming as Dallas,
so it doesn't distract Dallas One is too much.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I love that place. I mean, it should be cool.
It cost a couple of billion.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Bill Up top, you're I feel like you're outside at
a stadium and you can fill the ocean breeze down beneath.
You feel like you're in a basketball arena.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Yeah, because isn't it subterranean, Like isn't the field level below?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah, sea level, it's like right there. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
If it's not, it's real close. I mean, it's just
it's such a unique engineering Marvel. When I left, I
called my dad and said, Dad, you have to come
out here.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
The first time I went there. It is then when
the eighth winners of the world. Best stadium I've been in. Wow,
I mean not the most.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Like if I had one football game left to go
to in my life, I'd go to lambeau Field or
somewhere like that, something historic. But this is this place is. Yeah,
if you're a fan, by all means go And a
lot of people seem to take me up on that
because it's always filled whether the Chargers or Rams are playing,
it's filled with fans and the other teams.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
It's it's like a regular NFL game doesn't do that
place of justice, like it needs a National Championship game
or the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
That's how nice.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's like, Oh, I can't believe I'm just seeing like
Chargers Raiders here, seeing the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I didn't realize this. I knew it was like state
of the art and everything. I didn't realize all that
other aspect of that's cool. I mean my perception of
it has always been they drop two teams in there
without a fan base.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
And Rams are winning super Bowls and still not getting
a huge crowd.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Teams have fans, and maybe a whole bunch of Pittsburgh
fans will show up.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
This that's like the Vegas philosophy, you know, doesn't.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Really care if the home team has homefield advantage or not. There, right,
they just want to come and root for the Russians
if you want to. We don't care. Russians have a team.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Maybe the Russians, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, why can't we have sind Gino in the Olympics
because Canada is afraid. They pretend it's politics they're afraid.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Or anyways, Mike.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Steelers, Uh, you know, a lot of the talk in
the way of that Colt's victory and how well the
defense played, simplifying, less complicated, fewer mental errors and miscommunications.
Doesn't matter what you do, it's how you do it,
that kind of thing. There's a lot of truth to that,
but it kind of does matter what you do a
little bit. And one of the worse, one of the
(27:06):
times it mattered, Steelers broke out a three inside linebackers
at a time package which was specifically designed for the Colts.
I don't know if they're going to keep using this
or not. But it might be an idea whose time
has arrived. Here's Peyton Wilson.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Definitely, because the Colts had a great run game, wanted
to get some big people out there. I really enjoyed
all three of us out there. It was really cool.
I mean I always played with IPQ, but to be
out there with the leak was really cool too.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So, I mean I enjoyed that package. But we'll just
have to see moving forward what they do with it.
How did it do when you guys looked at.
Speaker 9 (27:38):
It with scrutiny of.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
The we are looking at the tape.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I did what it was supposed to, created some havoc
different and kind of get into some different front structures
with it as well. But you don't usually see me
out of the box for blitzen and stuff like that.
So it puts an additional additional thing on offense.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Do you have any problem with that? No, not at all.
As long as I'm on.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
The field, keep him on the field. Whatever they did
last week, that was his best game as a Steeler.
Mike do that again.
Speaker 9 (28:06):
A lot to unpack there and the way it didn't
work every time, but.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
It was spectacular.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Second and one from the Steelers thirty five in the
third quarter. Three inside linebackers, and what they had was
the edge. Guys up front were Jack Sawyer and Nick
Herbig two defensive tackles Whyie Black and Cam Hayward.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Then behind that you had.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Malik Harrison, Patrick Queen basically playing middle linebacker, and Peyton
Wilson on the outside looking like he's Jack Ham and
the way to play on folds. Wilson's unblocked, so it's
a play action. He starts charging. When he sees the
fake handoff, he stops to make sure where the ball is.
Sawyer is crushing Tyler Warren, the Penn State tight end
(28:52):
on the left side, so he's getting into the pocket.
Daniel Jones tries to throw a play action past Wilson
is still unblocked. He just jumps up deflex it right
into Sawyer's arms. Interception. The beauty of this kind of
light on the edge with Sawyer and Herbin right. So
if they want to run off tackle, you got a
problem there, except you got Malie Harrison behind it to
(29:13):
clean up, and you got Queen behind it to clean up.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It might be a couple thumpers, you know.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Instead of having let's play nickel when they throw, and
let's play bass when they run.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Let's just do this and you got it covered.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Either way, it's definitely got a chance to be something
that helps them not get caught as often as they
do with the wrong defense on the field against the
wrong thing.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
It's like sex panther sixty percent of the time. It
works out every time.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
And I do I wonder the degree to which you
can now scheme against that and its weaknesses.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
You would run off tackle and the Chargers will That's
I guarantee if they use this against the Chargers, that's
what the Chargers will do, because they have a couple
of hammerheads. Tight end Tucker Fisk number forty two, six
to eighty five.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
He looks like a refrigerator.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Defensive lineman slash fullback Scott Mattlock forty four six' four
three hundred looks like a. Refrigerator if Matt lock's at,
fullback where he, goes that's where the ball's. Going, Ye
SO i would assumes There, Picardy, yes say a lot
Of baltimore concepts because there's a lot of, carryover a
(30:24):
lot of a lot of the staff used to work In,
baltimore and it's a, Hardball BUT i would think The
chargers would try to attack the edges running if they see.
This But i'm real curious to see if the inside
guys can get there.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
ANYWAY i BET i bet they. Can they got the,
speed so, uh stay tuned on, THAT i.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
Know To bill's, point they started Playing Peyton wilson almost
all the. Time then When cole holkom when they got
confidence in, him they started putting him in because they
were having trouble stopping the run And Peyton wilson was
part of them having trouble stopping the. Run but if
he's got his big Brother malik out there with, him it's.
Okay like And Peyton wilson playing eighty five percent of
(31:04):
snaps whenever he played thirteen, tackles two, passes defense and,
intercepting it was a.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Mania he was all over the.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
FIELD i mean, more please, right, like definitely keep that
guy out. There steelers at The chargers On sunday, NIGHT
i will not be waiting all day For sunday. Night

Antonio Brown is under arrest and back in the United States,
about six months after the former NFL superstar was accused
of trying to shoot and kill a man at an
Aiden Ross boxing event in Florida. TMZ Sports is told
that thirty seven year old Ab was extradited this week,
with United Arab Emirates authorities shipping the retired wide out
(00:29):
back to the States from Dubai, where he was allegedly
attempted to evade the reach of the American legal system.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
When I first heard that, I was like, he probably
thought he was just going to do boys, and.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
He's like, man, this is a long trash. Why isn't
everything blue? Where's blue? Boys?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
We're talking about him like just ripping joints too, and
being like you.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Can't do that there. Yeah, he's not the smartest guy.
They might not have wanted him. And I've been extracted.
I'm being extra and I did extrad not maybe I'm
Ronald Yeah, Randy Bellman and the DV morning show.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I probably thought he could go there and then like
put on like a hajib, like you know, like, but
keep keep his face covered the whole time.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
They'll never catch me.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Joe Bartnick's with us ladies. Jack, comedian Joe Bartnick is
in Pittsburgh. And you were at the Penguins game last night. Yes,
I was incredible victory.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yes, snatched from the jaws of almost.

It was the best of times, than the worst of times,
then the best of times again, and it was once again.
I was up three nothing and oh, Randy Bellman, one
of my all time favorite people.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Hey, can you come in and do something? Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
This is my family. Anything for you guys. Wait, it's
three three in a row. Okay, zero, but this is
even crazier, right, So I just got over having four
twenty cholesterol down to twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Everyone's happy, thank you.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Now now my blood pressure because I have to wear
an Apple watch, my blood pressure is like one fifty
over one fifteen, which is I guess really high. So
everyone's freaking out. So I had to have them.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Like you say it, you're not worrying at all.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, Well, I mean, you know, come on, I mean
I take so many. I take more pills than my mother,
So it's like the pills. I'm like, you know, I'd
drive in traffic and I got the test. I'm like,
it's okay, anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Wait what I drive in traffic? I was like two
hours I was.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I was in traffic for my doctors putment in la
Oh okay, it was like two hours in traffic and
then they weren't going to let me in and I
had to beg for my life because I promised my
girlfriend my cholesterol test for her birthday.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
That's how crazy it is. Wait, wait, that's how crazy
she is.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
That's so crazy you requires her to have that be
her birthday present for you to take care of your paperwork.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
For the record, I took her to a five star
hotel in Phoenix. We went to the world famous pizza
Bianca and the whole okay, I didn't know if quest
had a little blue box. Yeah, And the thing was,
I got off the hook to have to do it
again next year. But I'll get to the point. For
the blood pressure was there. I had a telecall because
(03:29):
I'm literally my heart's been.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I've been messed up for like two weeks.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And if you noticed if I've been, I've been messed
up for two weeks.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
No couldn't. I just thought you were always.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That, Yeah, long story, I'll try to make it quicker.
Was I had have i'd have a telecall with my doctor.
And the other time she had for like ten days
was last night, like right before the Penglin game.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
So I tried to have my It's Shales. You're at
Shales bar Shell's book. They have a special section for
that hair. You're a doctor's. So then they never called.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
So I'm like, I'm like, oh, we we can't we
you know we. I'm going to the game. I'm not
waiting for the call, so I'm like, let's go. So Rachel,
because she's the best, she's like she called the place
and was like hey, so she rescheduled me for tomorrow
with somebody different. I'm like okay. But then my real
doctor felt so bad she missed me. She called me.
I was at my seat at the game and she calls.
(04:31):
I'm like, oh, that's my doctor. I better take it.
So I put my headphones on and gave her the
story and between and so this poor nice old lady
next to me had to hear everything about my call,
about my colonotope, about about my view, about my balls.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
My hurdy.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I'm like, no, my balls are feeling good.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
She moved her head. She's Pittsburgh lady. She never looked up,
and I'm just like, because she never moved her head,
would you?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And it was sold out less night, so it was
just a roar, so I'm really screaming, No, my balls
are over. That poor woman. Did you buy her a
beer or something? At least no, I would buy her beer.
She was like, she was such a nice lady. But
she actually had like a blanket wrapped around her like
she was old.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Oh okay, she wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
One of the crochet's at the games is that one
s don't go to the game if she does that blanket.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
She made it fast. She was all, well, she's old.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
She's used to people talking about their balls, and to
everybody over the age of sixty five, that's all they
talk about is their health.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
And yes, let me talk to that doctor when you're done.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm almost getting that point though almost every conversation now
with everybody, but I'm trying not to. But yeah, it's
just just a great game. It was fun. But thank
you to my girlfriend. She I have to wear an
apple watched out, but not on one station.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
You got to watches on right now?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Is this is my regular watch. I'm not taking this
one off just for my stage. I can't be the
Apple double wristed right now, right now.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But the same thing he's got to wear that he's
pissed that he has to wear the Apple Watch now,
and I'm like, why would you be pissed about something
that can like the Yes, Paddy.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Put her Apple Watch on Billy and that's how she found.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Out Rachel are like the same people.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Well submit you and Billy are the same, Yeah, compared
to you're medically like, you know, a loof though you
know you don't really care.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well, I mean I care, but I can't have it
almost interrupted a Penguin game.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
That there's caring. Yeah, it's three three yeah, and now
your blood pressure to the room.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's like jar for my high blood pressure.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
If he'd be under control, my balls.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Doc Joe Barnick is with us, so you know, Joe,
this weekend, this is crazy. PPG Paints Arena tonight and
tomorrow night sold out.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Not a seat to be had for Billy Strings.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
And I want to tell you there is nothing more
fun than watching somebody from the start of their career,
as I mean a young kid. I saw Billy as
a kid performing and to watch him rise up through
the ranks. He was on Stern yesterday. He did NPR
Tiny Desk. He is on top of the world. He
(07:37):
sold out two shows in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, not like New
York City like you know, yeah, he could.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Sell out three shows here.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
No, he could go anywhere and sell that many shows out.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
And I remember playing on a bill with.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Billy Strings when he was sixteen seventeen years old and
we were playing. I was sitting in with the Cause
with Jeff Matt from Dark Star Orchestra, and we did
a dead set and opening for Leftover Salmon, and Billy
was in town to play a midnight show at the
Rex that night. Now the res capacity four hundred people.
(08:14):
He had sold that out. He was I think seventeen
or eighteen at that point at that time. And I
get off stage and Leftover and all those guys are
jumping up, Kyle and everyone are up there, and then
it's like the next thing you know, I'm looking down
the alley as I'm tearing down off the stage in
mckey's Rocks because it was a feastival in mckey's Rocks
and a dude jumps out of a guitar or a
(08:36):
car with a guitar, like out of an uber and
it's Billy and he's running through the alleys in McKee's rocks,
runs right up. Leftover is already playing. Now they're into
their first song, and they were expecting Billy to be
there on time and he was going to sit in
with them, and.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
He ran right up to the stage.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
And it was one of the coolest things I've ever
seen because he's a young kid, you know what I mean.
It's just this like little kid, it looks like to
me at this point, running with the guitar and he's
like hey when we're like hey Bell, you know, he
ran right on stage while they were playing New Where's
di I was plugged in and the band just turns
around like, hey, Belly's here. A crowd goes crazy, and
then this kid just starts tearing it and I'm like,
(09:12):
that's one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
I just watched that kid run two blocks onto the
stage and he started ripping with Leftover Salmon. Fast forward
ten years later, he owns the entire jam band scene
right now. It is insane.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
The only thing that sucks.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I used to be able to see him for thirty dollars,
used to be able to see him with seven hundred,
eight hundred people one thousand, and then it turned to
five thousand, and then it turned to ten thousand, and
now it's going to be sixteen thousand for two straight
nights at PBG Paint's arena.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And when you follow a dude's.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Career and you watch him and Marcus King was like
this to a lesser degree too, because you could see
him in those clubs, and when you get to see
them in the clubs before they explode, it feels like
you have this investment in the artist, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
What I mean, Yes, we're part of the jersey. You're
happy for them.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
And then the inevitable thing that happens for a big
part of that fan base is the people who were
invested early on kind of turn on them and they're like, ah,
you know, it's like the hipster thing.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I liked him before they got famous, youn went electric.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's kind of like that. I don't
think he's there at all. I saw him last summer
at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, and that was one
of my all time favorite concert experiences. If you're going
to see Billy Strings this weekend, you are going to
have your mind blown. And I think there's gonna be
a lot of people. I think he has or his
(10:44):
fan base, have turned more people into fans of his
that would have never thought it was something they liked
than anybody I can really think of. You know, like
if you like rock and someone's like, oh dude, this
band is you gotta go? He CA's the elephant, you
know what I mean, Like, Yeah, this is my bag.
This is a situation where I think his fan base
(11:06):
is growing exponentially because so many people who don't listen
to bluegrass or jam grass or whatever, you know, sort
of subgenre you want to label it. They don't listen
to any of that, but then they watch him and
listen to him sing in the tradition that he carries
on because he's very much a keeper of the flame
when it comes to the American Songbook and the the
(11:29):
you know, bluegrass cannon, they watch that and think, oh
my god, I love all of this, but they never
would have thought that. And I think that's what's happening
to him, is he is getting big on a massive
scale that I'm not sure it'll translate into like radio
hits for him ever or anything like that. But from
a live performance standpoint, I don't know how you get
(11:49):
bigger than what he's doing right now. I mean, stadiums
maybe eventually. And it's just been a constant upward trajectory
and you've seen it how many times in your life
with Bill.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
I mean, it's it's not more now than ever, right, Joe.
I mean, you know, the amount of arena comics that
exist right now never was a thing when we were
coming up and growing up, like there was maybe one
or two guys at the very most that could do
an arena. Now there's people doing arenas that my neighbors
have never heard of.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
We'll talk about blowing up in kids. I remember when
Pete Davidson was like seventeen, Oh yeah, and he's like
on the kids find he's super cool.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Yeah. I remember doing to him and now boom, he's
bagging Kardashian.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I remember doing Bananas in Jersey with Jim Brewer and
him telling me that the night before he was in
New York doing a set and Pete Davidson was there. Teenager,
He's like, this kid is like the white Dave Chappelle.
He had that much buzz in New York at the time,
and I was like, who the hell is this kid?
There was no clips of him online, and any clip
(12:55):
that I saw was like, all right, that's a kind
of decent bit. But it wasn't about his material. Was
just his energy and his swag like on stage. It
was just different than anybody else.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
There's the thing with comedians is that some people possess
a likability inherently that you can't learn, right, and Pete
always seemed like a guy who used it.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
You just want to hang out with him. He seems
cool and fun and he.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Screw up his own bits like it's and he was
a teenager. It's not like everything he did was relatable, right,
you know, to an adult audience.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
But it was just so different, Like he has a charisma.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, like Randy said, that kind of Chappelle has, and
very very few other people I would say, Eddie Murphy
that I never met Eddie that you could that you
can almost feel it from the TV when he's in
the red suit. But Chappelle has this kind of this
kind of cool glow, like Jimi Hendrix, Spider Man kind
(13:51):
of kind of thing going on that you can't really
create yourself.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Yeah, but like BARGATSI Mulaney, see Tom Sigora, Bert, all
these guys are doing arenas Burt. That never was the
case for anybody other than movie stars. It would be
like a comedian like Robin Williams or somebody like Steve
Martin or Seinfeld, somebody huge.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
And Bert came and Bert was like a fat dude
that used to have a joke about wipe and sweat
off his neck. Yeah, n Bert wasn't cool, just like
I don't know how many years ago now.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Mat but like that, it was that long time ago
bed room.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, and now he's in charge of like you know,
the Woodstock of comedy in every city I was.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I was opening for him.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
We did the Midwest where at the Omaha Funny Bone,
and he's like doing Rogan for the first time and
I saw it hit, Like yeah, while he was on Rogan,
he got fifteen thousand followers and then he had that
T shirt of the machine and it was like six
boxes are coming to every city we're going to and
(15:00):
it's selling out on Friday night early show.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, he was happy to have me on his podcast?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
I like that self depreciating. That was he was glad
I was on his show. That's how lowly he was. No, dude,
you're a gem? Are you kidding me? He doesn't love
Joe Bartney? Oh thank you?
Speaker 6 (15:21):
But now it's like, you know, everybody that you could
think of, every movie starts like Tom Cruise is doing
something's burning, you know, like right, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
But yeah, he worked is I mean Bert? Obviously you
guys are fans and friends. He worked his ass off,
like one.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Nobody it gets that big without working their ass off,
And there's like any idea that any of those guys
just got lucky and it all fell into the lap
is just completely unfounded.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
That's what That's what I was thinking exactly that when
you're talking about Billy Strings, Yes you have to run
through three alleys to play your third show with a night. Yes,
they get to be that big, and that's when you
don't just sit back. And that was a good show.
Sit have a couple, you know, highlights and Champagnes and.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
That guy's been that guy's been grind in his whole
career and all these comics have been doing the same thing.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
And another theme that is kind of going on here
is there's a good a really strong woman behind them.
Like I consider Bert's wife to be like Sharon Osborne
because he is he's he doesn't you know, he doesn't
have the folks like you know, he's ADHD.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
And I mean that in the best possible way.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
That's hit the way his brain works ADHD.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
And look, that's a generous assessment, So.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I mean seriously, because if you if you talk to Bert,
he's all over the playways, right, So he he has
a million ideas and that's partly why he's so successful.
Everything that he's talking about. I used to sit in
the back of the club and tell him, like scream
out his own bits to him because he would get
lost and just you know, freestyling with the crowd.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Burt is like if the cuckoo for Cocopuffs thing was
a guy.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
He's so genuine.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Very few people are that open to everything, so honest
and emotionally open to that.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
It takes a lot to be like that.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Yeah, well you've been Look you've played Arenas with you know,
Burr and a manner of people.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Burt sells tickets to arenas. I've been lucky enough to
be on arena show. Yeah, but you know still, but
you've seen it firsthand, is what we're saying. You've been
on the stage.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, that level for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Oh I remember this is this is not trying to brag.
We were at there's a place next to the Tokyo Tokyo,
next to where the Kings play hockey. It has like
it's like it's six out of seats either. I played
three Nights in the Row with Lisa Lampinelli. We went
to a Kings gang, me and Burr. Like a day later,
people come up and go, hey, Burtnick twice and they
just knew because I was with Lisa Lampinelli three Nights
(17:58):
in the Row bur Bird. Then they recognized Bill and
they go, He's like, how do you get to that level?
He was asking about Binelli and I said, Bill, you
have to kill like the Rolling Stones where people went
and they can't wait to go back and see you again.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
And you know what Bird did.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
He worked hard enough to get to that level where
he kills like the Rolling Stones. When we played the Garden,
he killed and I'm not trying to be he killed
like Hitler liked, no, maybe not. The reference said, He's
like he would have said, we're gonna go take over Brooklyn.
(18:42):
Eighteen thousand people would have walked right over the bridge.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
You mean, like a like a Mussolini. Yeah, that kind
of like if he wanted to use his powers. Yeah, yeah,
he didn't mean him. Yeah right, I just like those people.
I mean, like, I just.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Mean, like just it was every d yeah right, because
me and Andy were just like, where he's just kill
I mean that was when I wasn't on the first
show he did the guard. The second show I was
on it. He's even better at Madison Square Guard. Yeah,
but it's that Sebastian did the same thing. Kevin Hart
did the same thing.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I remember.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
I mean, all these guys were naming are all arena
level comics now.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
But Kevin Hart used to do this show two to
three times a year, doing shows in Pittsburgh. Like he
was hitting Pittsburgh that many times, and he was never
You just knew that that guy was going to explode.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
He actually was the first wave of comics blowing up
to the arena level at the numbers that they're doing
right now. Because I remember I went to see him
at PPG before anybody was doing PPG as a comedian, right,
and he did it, and he had all this pyrotechnic stuff,
so he'd be like file on these bitches and like
(19:57):
after every joke there would be like flame guys is
on the side of the stage. And I was like,
I just I never seen comedy at that level, that
big of a stage. It almost doesn't feel right, like
comedy belongs in a basement that's dirty and smoke.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Fil I think like the Chicago Theater. I think the
ben Atum. I think that size theater is the best. Yeah,
that's so like the Fox in Detroit, Like the five
thousand seat theater is the best. It's like so you
get you just get the roar. I remember when I
(20:34):
was with a tel uh Tel Lewis Black and Mitch
Edburgh here. It was so black, it was like Comedy Central. Yeah.
The night of my sister's wedding, they were like, hey,
we know you're in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I go by you left your sister's wedding to go
play the Benham with David Tel Mitch Hedberg. He said,
I don't think you heard me. The first time.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I had my wife, my ex wife tell my mother
because she's like, because I'm like, I have to do it.
And Tracy was like, Mom, if he doesn't do it,
I'll never hear the end of it.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yeah, like you have to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, And I remember I had a great set, and
then I think I was worried. I was like, I
got off stage because I was like, I think, I
think it was good. This is the first big show
ever did and I get then Mitch of course is killing,
and I see Mitch killing, and I'm like them, maybe
mine wasn't that good, right, And then they go to
loose Black. I go, was that Might said okay? And
he knew me a little bit. He goes, how many
(21:34):
applause breaks you want?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Kid?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
But then I brought a tell because he was that yeah.
Well they were flip flopping and yeah. When I brought uh,
mister Hotel up, I go, you know him from Insomniac.
And it was like standing in front of five thousand
Steeler fans screaming because Jack Lambert just decapitated Roger staubmuch
(22:00):
Yeah right, You felt the energy of five thousand people screaming.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
It was incredible.

it lets the light in, but you don't get the
pounding sun or if whatever rains, what's the rain after
once a.

the game was over and like one, Oh my god,
it was like a twenty eight point underdog and we
took it and they still lost. I forget it was
like five years ago now, I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
It is the eighth what was There's a lot of
information that we needed to put together.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
It was the eighth wonder It is the eighth one
of the world.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
I when I look out the concourse to start walking around,
you feel like you're outside because there's no walls.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Really just view every It looks cool on TV.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
It is the scoreboard, it's it's great. All the scoreboards
are great now, but it's not quite as overwhelming as Dallas,
so it doesn't distract Dallas One is too much.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I love that place. I mean, it should be cool.
It cost a couple of billion.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Bill Up top, you're I feel like you're outside at
a stadium and you can fill the ocean breeze down beneath.
You feel like you're in a basketball arena.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Yeah, because isn't it subterranean, Like isn't the field level below?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah, sea level, it's like right there. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
If it's not, it's real close. I mean, it's just
it's such a unique engineering Marvel. When I left, I
called my dad and said, Dad, you have to come
out here.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
The first time I went there. It is then when
the eighth winners of the world. Best stadium I've been in. Wow,
I mean not the most.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Like if I had one football game left to go
to in my life, I'd go to lambeau Field or
somewhere like that, something historic. But this is this place is. Yeah,
if you're a fan, by all means go And a
lot of people seem to take me up on that
because it's always filled whether the Chargers or Rams are playing,
it's filled with fans and the other teams.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
It's it's like a regular NFL game doesn't do that
place of justice, like it needs a National Championship game
or the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
That's how nice.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
It's like, Oh, I can't believe I'm just seeing like
Chargers Raiders here, seeing the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I didn't realize this. I knew it was like state
of the art and everything. I didn't realize all that
other aspect of that's cool. I mean my perception of
it has always been they drop two teams in there
without a fan base.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
And Rams are winning super Bowls and still not getting
a huge crowd.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Teams have fans, and maybe a whole bunch of Pittsburgh
fans will show up.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
This that's like the Vegas philosophy, you know, doesn't.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
Really care if the home team has homefield advantage or not. There, right,
they just want to come and root for the Russians
if you want to. We don't care. Russians have a team.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Maybe the Russians, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, why can't we have sind Gino in the Olympics
because Canada is afraid. They pretend it's politics they're afraid.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Or anyways, Mike.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Steelers, Uh, you know, a lot of the talk in
the way of that Colt's victory and how well the
defense played, simplifying, less complicated, fewer mental errors and miscommunications.
Doesn't matter what you do, it's how you do it,
that kind of thing. There's a lot of truth to that,
but it kind of does matter what you do a
little bit. And one of the worse, one of the
(27:06):
times it mattered, Steelers broke out a three inside linebackers
at a time package which was specifically designed for the Colts.
I don't know if they're going to keep using this
or not. But it might be an idea whose time
has arrived. Here's Peyton Wilson.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Definitely, because the Colts had a great run game, wanted
to get some big people out there. I really enjoyed
all three of us out there. It was really cool.
I mean I always played with IPQ, but to be
out there with the leak was really cool too.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So, I mean I enjoyed that package. But we'll just
have to see moving forward what they do with it.
How did it do when you guys looked at.
Speaker 9 (27:38):
It with scrutiny of.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
The we are looking at the tape.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
I did what it was supposed to, created some havoc
different and kind of get into some different front structures
with it as well. But you don't usually see me
out of the box for blitzen and stuff like that.
So it puts an additional additional thing on offense.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Do you have any problem with that? No, not at all.
As long as I'm on.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
The field, keep him on the field. Whatever they did
last week, that was his best game as a Steeler.
Mike do that again.
Speaker 9 (28:06):
A lot to unpack there and the way it didn't
work every time, but.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
It was spectacular.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
Second and one from the Steelers thirty five in the
third quarter. Three inside linebackers, and what they had was
the edge. Guys up front were Jack Sawyer and Nick
Herbig two defensive tackles Whyie Black and Cam Hayward.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Then behind that you had.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Malik Harrison, Patrick Queen basically playing middle linebacker, and Peyton
Wilson on the outside looking like he's Jack Ham and
the way to play on folds. Wilson's unblocked, so it's
a play action. He starts charging. When he sees the
fake handoff, he stops to make sure where the ball is.
Sawyer is crushing Tyler Warren, the Penn State tight end
(28:52):
on the left side, so he's getting into the pocket.
Daniel Jones tries to throw a play action past Wilson
is still unblocked. He just jumps up deflex it right
into Sawyer's arms. Interception. The beauty of this kind of
light on the edge with Sawyer and Herbin right. So
if they want to run off tackle, you got a
problem there, except you got Malie Harrison behind it to
(29:13):
clean up, and you got Queen behind it to clean up.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
It might be a couple thumpers, you know.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Instead of having let's play nickel when they throw, and
let's play bass when they run.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Let's just do this and you got it covered.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
Either way, it's definitely got a chance to be something
that helps them not get caught as often as they
do with the wrong defense on the field against the
wrong thing.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
It's like sex panther sixty percent of the time. It
works out every time.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
And I do I wonder the degree to which you
can now scheme against that and its weaknesses.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
You would run off tackle and the Chargers will That's
I guarantee if they use this against the Chargers, that's
what the Chargers will do, because they have a couple
of hammerheads. Tight end Tucker Fisk number forty two, six
to eighty five.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
He looks like a refrigerator.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
Defensive lineman slash fullback Scott Mattlock forty four six' four
three hundred looks like a. Refrigerator if Matt lock's at,
fullback where he, goes that's where the ball's. Going, Ye
SO i would assumes There, Picardy, yes say a lot
Of baltimore concepts because there's a lot of, carryover a
(30:24):
lot of a lot of the staff used to work In,
baltimore and it's a, Hardball BUT i would think The
chargers would try to attack the edges running if they see.
This But i'm real curious to see if the inside
guys can get there.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
ANYWAY i BET i bet they. Can they got the,
speed so, uh stay tuned on, THAT i.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
Know To bill's, point they started Playing Peyton wilson almost
all the. Time then When cole holkom when they got
confidence in, him they started putting him in because they
were having trouble stopping the run And Peyton wilson was
part of them having trouble stopping the. Run but if
he's got his big Brother malik out there with, him it's.
Okay like And Peyton wilson playing eighty five percent of
(31:04):
snaps whenever he played thirteen, tackles two, passes defense and,
intercepting it was a.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Mania he was all over the.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
FIELD i mean, more please, right, like definitely keep that
guy out. There steelers at The chargers On sunday, NIGHT
i will not be waiting all day For sunday. Night
i'll be watching all the other games Before sunday, night
