Berg at an iHeart radio station guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right, everybody parts, but not everybody would study parts
to see if they could. But that's what researchers at
the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine did, and they
came up with something most people might not want to do.
Smell those parts to combat Alzheimer's disease. The scientists discovered.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That the eggs, smelling like hydrogen sulfide found in farts,
can potentially protect your brain's aging cells against Alzheimer's by
up to thirty seven percent.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
This, this is true.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
My dad would have never got tomnia.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yep, I don't believe any of this.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
He was, you know, subject number one, I guess. But
the researchers tested on mice would.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Work today at Johns Hopkins.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Well that makes it, yeah, because if Johns Hopkins isn't
in the Yeah, it's really not very noble.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, the second round of two way movie is terrible.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Randy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
They laughed at me when I farted on mice for
years now, who's laughing still them?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
All right, got it. Abby's got your news right now.
Tad Wessel hanging in studio with us. We got a
bang in two hours lined up here. Still left to
come here Mark Madden at eight forty five pft commoner,
we'll call it nine to fifteen, and the entire nine
am hour, our buddy Jean Sterotor from the NFL and
CBS will be live in studio with us here at DVE.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I love that much.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
He wasn't busy enough, Like.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
He wasn't busy enough. Exactly what's going on over there?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
New This hour is brought to you by Window Nation,
cloudy with most of us seeing just rained today.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Instead of snow high of thirty eight. All right, so
if you remember this week.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
In an interview with The New York Post, Gene Simmons
chose to speak ill of the death, and in speaking
about Ace freely, he said that Ace had refused advice
from the people that cared about him, including yours, truly,
to try to change his lifestyle, saying that Ace had
been in and out of bad decisions.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Falling down the stairs.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I'm not a doctor, doesn't kill you, which at Ace's
age he died at the age of seventy six, absolutely
kills you.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
It actually does.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But Jean said there may have been other issues, and
it breaks my heart. The saddest thing. You reap what
you sow. Unfortunately, it breaks my heart.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, it's just probably it's like one of those things
you don't bring up after somebody dies because it's in
bad taste. But nobody's ever accused Jene Simmons for having taste,
despite the fact that his tongue is like longer than
a camel's.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
I'm just glad he was able to make it about
himself because not everyone could do that to, you know,
find the angle. How can I get the at back
on me when that guy died?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now, Jean did say just I believe today on Twitter
on reflection, I was wrong for using the words I used.
I humbly apologize my hand to God. I didn't intend
to hurt Ace or his legacy, But upon rereading my words,
I see how it hurt everyone. Again, I apologize. I've
(03:26):
always loved Ace always.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Let me reread this.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Ace was a loser, scumbag, drug addict who deserved to die.
Yeah that looks bad when you write it down.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, now you see it.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
He was so effusive when Ozzy passed away, to the
point where he was brought to tears it was the
most humble we had ever heard him. And for him
to have spent truly his lifetime with Ace really.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
To read.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Like for it to click that that was not the
way to go.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Well, I will say this, at least he waited several
days before actually like, you know, tarnishing any good thing
he said about Ace Raeli, because I remember when Jerry
Lewis was talking about Dean Martin and he's like, you know,
Dean Martin dies, and he's like, Dean could have done
everything that I did. He was a genius. He could
(04:29):
have written all those bits if he wanted to. He
could have been the one who was the slapstick comedian
if he wanted to. He had that much talent. He
could have directed all of those things. He could have
done it all had he chose to. That's how much
talent he had. I only did it because he allowed
me to. And the interviewer goes, do you really believe that?
He goes absolutely not, immediately immed fantastic.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
No, of course not.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
He was talentless and he was to be in my wake,
like in the same conversation.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So at least Jean waited a little.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
While I gave it a little bit of time, all right.
The elf on the shelf tradition officially turns twenty this year.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Oh it is annoying.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
But useful, I will say for parents, I mean this
has come in handy for you.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Yes, no, we don't do it, pagan. Yeah, we have
a biker biker that we put on the fireplace every year.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, his name is Brutus. Yeah, and uh that's a
different celebration altogether, right.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
No, elf on a shelf is a joy every holiday
season for the kids, and it also does draw ire
for a lot of the adults involved. So if you
don't know what it is, it involves the elf essentially
monitoring the kid's behavior. The elf moves around the house,
and the kids cannot touch the elf or it loses
its powers and its magic. But magically, every day, likely
every morning, the kids wake up throughout the month of
(06:08):
December and the elf has moved to another place.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Do they sound like a withered elf that you could
put out if you suspect one of your kids of
having touched it, and then you're like.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Oh my god, who touched the elf? And then it's
just like sitting there like.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
Yeah, exactly. The end of the fly, kill me.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Brundle elf.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, if you really want
to drive home the message, and someone who.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Went to nine years of Catholic school, I deeply resent
the elf. You're supposed to just be afraid of God
forever and not really sure why. Yeah, but you know,
because he's a vengeful God. Yeah, exactly. Vengeance is mine.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You were born with it, exactly, ordered by it.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I don't know how the elms do it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
People love the on the shelf though, because it keeps
kids in line.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I get it. It does you know any trick this
time of the day. Look, parents have it so tough.
I'm all in favor of anything you can do to
get your kids whipped into shape and just acting good
and scaring the hell out of them. And Santa provides
you a month at the end of the year to
just like threaten your kid with the worst imaginable scenario,
(07:32):
which is coal in your stocking and no gifts because
you're on the naughty list.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
And if that helps out, great, drive that on.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Just just fill them full of a psychosis for the
rest of their life at a very young age, and
just deep seated things that will come to roost much
later in life. If it gets you a couple of
weeks of them behaving, it's like it's you know, they
(08:01):
didn't have the iPad for many many centuries to just
give their kid and keep them occupied.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Now you can really drive it home and make them
behave well and good. That's great. I'm all for the
OFLF on the shelf for that reason.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I mean, I guess we were gifted en elf on
a shelf many many years ago and never implemented.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
It's in the box.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And at this point, because of social media, Edie has
told me that she has no interest in ELF on
the shelf. I certainly never ruined it for other kids,
but she's seen too much and she now has told
me that, you know, she's a little suspect on the
whole concept. And I told her that the reason why
I never opened the box is because I don't believe
(08:45):
in a police date and I don't want to bring
that surveilance to our home.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's not nice. I mean, the National Guard is in
the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I just don't want that kind of That's why I
won't to get an ALEXA. Honestly, I just can't have
somebody watching us all the time.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, somebody already is. They're just like in your phone
or on your laptop. When you leave it open, I
can't see it. Do you close out of social media
apps when you like browse away from them?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
I didn't know that that was the thing until two
weeks ago when my wife said, do you close all
your taps?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
You close all your apps? I said, how do you
do that? You gotta sign idea, got to sign out?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Great, cool, awesome, Yeah, I'll do that more.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Did you see that Australia banned all social media?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Nuh uh for kids under.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Under fifteen.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
It is now illegal for kids to use social media.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean it's been said many times before, where you know,
the average parent is like, here's all the tech. Kids
go at it and keep yourself occupied and you can
use learning tools on your iPad and things like that.
And then the people who develop all the technology, you're like,
they just give their kids wooden blocks and they don't
let them see a screen until they're like fourteen years old.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Listen, I have.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
A different child when there's a social media break.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
For whatever reason, her father gave her his iPad with
his Instagram log in and let her use his for
you tab. There's two problems with this one never.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Never in a million years.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Well, which Joe, it's probably just a lot of guitar,
like you know, construction and things like that.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
That brings me to the second problem. Randy, it's not.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's a lot of like cute, fluffy Kwai animals. He's
a metal guy, you know, metal guys love kittens.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I was kind of like taken aback by that because
I'm like, shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
You, as a forty six year old man, be afraid
to give a nine year old your phone, Like shouldn't
you have.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Some skeletons in your closet? Shouldn't you be clean?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Nope, it's nothing but like little cartoons of like little
bears hugging each other going I love you.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
And like little Kawhi animals.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But he gave her his Instagram and would let her
just scroll endlessly.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
With like no fear at all, and I'm like, this
is I have so many problems with this.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
But she got like so used to it that she
just started like asking for it all the time, and
I just shut that down like two days ago, where
I'm like, there are so many issues with this because
like truly. Instagram has rules about you can't have an
Instagram account unless you're thirteen here in the United States.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
How do they prove that?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Though, I don't know, there's probably lead your social Security number.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
No, there's definitely ways around it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
But you know, like we're basically giving her an adult count.
And the only reason why he was on board when
also getting rid of it was because he found out
that even though he told her not to, she was
commenting under his profile and writing things like this is.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Cringe so funny.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I mean all she probably bore to death if she
got into my for UTAP because it would be all
colonoscopy farts and wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald me.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Actually, she would be like, are we best friends? Like
finally an algorithm I can get into.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I just should doodled, you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
That's the best, that's the best one. Yeah, I just
should doodled. You did what I should doodled in my pants?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Me getting back onto the Yelp on the shelf thing.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
There is also by the way, men show on a bench,
which is for the Jewish family, like.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
That we had Klaus in the house when you know,
back in the day of the klaus Mina doll.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah, that would sit up on the shelf. Klaus Mina.
I'm still loving you.
Speaker 10 (13:01):
I'll catch me though, use on my power. We know,
and it's a blackout old time and maum all right,
the last story I will give you here.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Cher is reportedly preparing to marry her longtime partner Alexander
Edwards ahead of her eightieth birthday next May. This is
according to page six, so it's not totally confirmed.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
This wedding has brought to you by the substance, the substance.
If you're not taking it, why not the substance.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Share'ses her upcoming birthday is a perfect moment to seal
the deal. The couple's been dating since two thousand and
twenty two.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Wait but yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Despite a forty year age gap, Share remains unbothered by.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
The critics, saying that they just have a blast.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
However, representative for Share says the reports are not true,
leaving the credibility of the marriage plan unconfirmed.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
I We're gonna ask forty four zero.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Imagine getting a birthday card that said, lordy, lordie, look
who's forty and then someone's like, oh yeah, also, here
meet my newborn and then thinking, you know, one day,
one day, one sweet day, the two of us are
gonna be conjoined. What in marital bliss? Are you kidding me? Well,
(14:21):
why would she do that? I get why she would
do it.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
She made it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
She got past men.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Yeah, well there are those women who it's different, right,
I know it doesn't get better postman.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
No, it's she did it.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Like Catherine Hepburn was famously like that. Jane Fonda is
now like that, yeah, where she's like, yeah, I'm done.
But Share never has been. Sheair has always been a gypsy,
a tramp, a thief.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
She's into it forty somebody far and tell her, yeah,
just to remind she's rich.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
She's got the Alzheimer's is what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
She's rich.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Her family's like locker in a room with a pot
of chili, and let's hope she comes to her senses
cloudy with most.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Of us just seeing rain.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Today's I have thirty eight on the way for you.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Mark Mannen will be joining us at eight forty five,
and then Jean's Terotor live in studio here in the
dv E Morning show, Well Bank vault, bank fault is
really what it is. The confines here and pft Commoner
will be giving us a call while Gene is here.
But here for you now with a eulogy on your
fantasy football team. It's our own tad, whistle tad.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Dearly beloved friends, haters and douchebags that have advanced to
the playoffs. We're gathered here today to mourn the death
of your terrible twenty twenty five fantasy football team. For
those of you who did not know that departed, they
came into this world is so many any do. Drafted
(16:02):
in late August amid much hope and promise, this team
seemed bound for big things. Expectations were high, and why
wouldn't they be. After all, you secured an elite wide
receiving tandem and Tyreek Hill and aj Brown. You had
Bell Cows in the backfield with Saquon and Breis Hall.
(16:23):
This was your year, and so this squad plucked from
the stars, was given a name fit for a champion,
Steve Sucks. A cheeky tip of the cat to your
brother in law, Steve, who, in all fairness sucks. But
(16:48):
the best laid plans often go awry, and a rocky
season followed. Whether it was injuries, no show performances, or
every dunce in your league having their hot week against
your team, you quickly found yourself behind the gate ball.
It was the kind of year that would make you
quit fantasy football altogether if you were a total loser
(17:10):
like Notre Dame. But through adversity, real champions are born
and Steve Sucks would not go gentle into that good night.
You spent hours on Reddit, consuming the advice of strangers.
You sifted through hot garbage on the waiver wire. Week
(17:31):
after week. You skipped your daughter's soccer game to see
if Jerome Ford could score two measly points against the Jets.
He could not. This team was your baby. You loved
it like your own and sometimes love makes you do
(17:53):
crazy things like text a picture of a three D
printed gun to the league group tat at one in
the morning, which again was a joke.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
It was from Google Images. It's not like you own that, sheeesh.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
You may have finished tenth in the league, but you
were seventh in points, which is sort of similar to
the Tomlin no losing season's thing.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
But still no one can take that away from you.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
For some the end of the fantasy football season means
venmoing a dude. You now hate fifty bucks with the
memo choke on it. For others, it involves a heinous
punishment in which you have to gratify yourself in the
restroom of a waffle house. But as we now lay
(18:52):
Steve Sucks and all the other loser fantasy teams to rest,
Just remember fantasy football is deeply stupid and no one
wants to hear you talk about it. Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust, Amen Amen, Ted Whistle, rip your fantasy
(19:15):
football squad coming up?

Speaker 13 (20:12):
The Steelers won a game last Sunday in Baltimore despite
being badly out rushed by the Ravens, and it wasn't
the first time, naturally, mcdonmalin wasn't surprised.
Speaker 14 (20:24):
You know, they're built different than a lot of teams,
and so the nature of our matchups are different. You know,
you can almost substitute their rushing yards for passing yards
and vice versa. The bottom line is, you better win
the turnover game, you better be good in the red area,
you better make timely situational plays, and you know that's
kind of the formula for playing those guys from our perspective.
Speaker 13 (20:45):
Yeah, Ravens out rushing the Steelers two hundred and seventeen
to thirty four. That's one hundred and eighty three more
rushing yards, Yet the Steelers win the game twenty seven
to twenty two. Twenty twenty one at the Ravens, Baltimore
out rushes Pittsburgh two forty nine the seventy nine Pittsburgh
wins sixteen thirteen to twenty twenty twenty at the Ravens
(21:07):
Baltimore out rushes Pittsburgh two sixty five to forty eight,
Steelers win the game twenty eight to twenty four. That
Ravens are different, which brings us to Miami, which I
think is also different. Now, we just heard from Merril
Hodge and he said it's really more of a power
running game with a lot of eye candy window dressing.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
He watches more tape than I do.
Speaker 13 (21:29):
But when I watched Miami play against the Jets, I
kept getting a Boise State vibe in my head. They
look like a college too. What the hell kind of
formation is that?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
What do they do?
Speaker 13 (21:39):
Why is that guy there? What are they doing so
much stuff? Why are they doing so much stuff? Pre snap? Eventually,
Davon eight Chan's going to get the ball, and that's
the guy you got to focus on.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And that's the guy you got to start. Take the
little Glenn Miller.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Nice, Well that's written by Pittsburgh. Yeah, Billy what's his name?
Con No, Billy Kahn did not write music. He made
a lot of people hear birds though, Billy Strehorn.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Thank you? Wow? Yeah, out of nowhere? Oh yeah, dude,
he wrote all like a ton of Duke Ellington songs.
And he heard he was on the train and the
rhythm of the train made him think of that. That's
where that melody came from. And hopefully this dude isn't
making music against the Steelers defense on Monday night.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
Yeah, And if you're not going to get out rushed
by one hundred and eighty or so yards, you got
to limit their rushing and you also have to run
the ball better. Uh, Steelers, that's still work in progress.
They're one of two teams in the NFL to average
fewer than one hundred yards rushing per game and still
have a winning record. The forty nine Ers are nine
(22:55):
and four despite averaging ninety eight point five yards on
the ground per game. Steelers are eighty nine point two.
Now they're compromise to tackle Calvin Anderson will not be
able to fill in again because of his knee.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Broderick Jones is on the reserve ange list.
Speaker 13 (23:08):
It's either going to be Andre's Pete, who is in
the concussion protocol, or Dylan Cook, who's been hanging around
the NFL for three years and finally made his debut
last Sunday in Baltimore. Steelers Revolves also won two games
this season when rushing for fewer than forty yards. The
other teams that have done that rushed for fewer than
(23:31):
forty yards this season in the NFL are zero to eight.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Wow. I mean.
Speaker 13 (23:38):
You could argue they're sort of sneaking by here without
necessarily achieving a sustainable level of play. Oh yes, so
some things need to change against the Dolphins on Monday Night.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
But that's what people are arguing. That's those the people
who won't enjoy a win. That's the kind of stuff
they cite. You know, what's the point of enjoying this
now only to be disappointed later?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
I guess none.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Whereas I love beating the Ravens and I'm totally happy. Yeah,
we should celebrate that. Yeah, agreed, I think you should.
Seeing John Harbaugh miserable, how does that not bring you
joy the holiday?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Crying like a little bit. Tom have given him a
little bit of a shot yesterday. He's like, I don't
call the NFL ya. They know he has I know,
but he's just want to stake it this time.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
But if that was his motivation, I'm all for it.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
I think it was Derek Harmon, big big guy for
the run defense.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
It's it's looking promising.
Speaker 13 (24:39):
Mike Tomlin made no guarantees yesterday, but they're gonna let
Harmon's practice participation in the quality thereof be their guide.
They've got an extra day, so maybe he plays arrows
up on DK Metcalf. Despite the stomach problems that kept
him in Baltimore, Kyle Dugger has a chance to play,
according to tom and this is a big deal because yes,
Miami doesn't ass very often. But the way the Steelers
(25:03):
played it without Dugger was to use Jabrill Peppers when
they thought the other team was gonna run, and Chuck
Clark when they thought the other team was going to pass.
And I'm I just have no confidence in Chuck Clark
at this point, when twenty one's out there, I think
they are vulnerable. Ble Well, Douger is a thumper too,
and I mean he's an okay player. I don't think
(25:23):
he's all pro or anything, but you can lean out
there all the time, right.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Dougger's almost he's almost had many interceptions. I know he
has one for a touchdown that he's Yeah, the kid
almost fish hook mcgloyin almost nearly.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
All I know is I had a defense of any
time touchdown and a Dougger interception that day. I was
just like, Wow, it was almost like hitting the Derek
Watt touchdown anytime TV plus twenty five eighty or whatever
it was.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You didn't play it the one time I scored, I
did not. Yeah, uh played it every week. Didn't play
it the week he scored. Pete, MALIEK.
Speaker 13 (26:02):
Harrison, and Darnel Washington are in the Concussion Protocol. Washington
critical to the running game. Mike Tomlin was talking about
Malie Harrison as the you know, run defense guy yesterday
and I concur but I think Cole Holcomb's a really
good player. I don't have a problem with fifty five
out there.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
He got smoked on the the the big play. Yeah,
you know, everybody everybody smoked that in moments. Steelers hosting
the Dolphins Monday night at.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
After we saw Heismith had a great game, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I still thought i'd be seeing more Jack Sawyer at
this point in the season. Like, I know, he hasn't
necessarily been needed at this point, but I thought i'd
be seeing him utilize a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
I don't know why I did not check his snapcount.
I thought i'd hear his name a little more offensive,
more tuning.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, spelling, guys, exactly A name I did w A.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
A name I didn't think i'd see a lot is
Carson Carson Brunner, who had a hell of a special
teams game.
Speaker 13 (27:03):
Yeah, Mike tomm made a point yesterday of saluting his
special teams. Everybody's always focused on offense and defense, and
justifiably so. But from the kicking to the covering and
that that video of Ben's kronic awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
It's just why you love the NFL.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Right, So, I love Ben's krooniic and he's still in
the lead right now. If you retweet that, that counts
as a vote oh for him to get to the
Pro Bowl.
Speaker 13 (27:29):
I knew this because he's told us on social media,
Hey retweet it and vote for me.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Yeah, dude, I want him to get the money I
thought that.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
I didn't think that was real when people have said
retweets count.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
As votes, I thought that was for the general election.
I totally if it's a swing stake, that's right.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
We're going to have Mark Madden joining us in about
nine minutes. Jean's territor will be live in studio with
us in the nine o'clock hour. Can't wait to have
Gino in here. That'll be great. PFT commenter will be
giving us a shout during that nine of two, so
you'll have genis serrator and pfte.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
James Madison guy.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
He is the so PFT is a James Madison grad
and he is of course rooting for his team to
take on Oregon. So every day until they play, he's
eating duck. I like it, Yeah, yes, so is.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
You know.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
I'm not a huge fan of Twitter social media in general,
but James Madison had a great tweet the other day.
It was put out by James Madison. It was something
along the lines, so I'm not quoting it for badam.
But I don't know why everybody says this game is
going to be a blowout. We think this Oregon team's scrappy.
They might give us a game PFT nine to fifteen.
(28:39):
Abbey's News at the top of the hour with Gene.
We'll maybe kick around a couple of things with.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Gene, you know what, because he's the rules guy.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
We're actually gonna talk about who lies the most at
the self checkout by the numbers and you might be surprised.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
This week's WDB bud like game day bar of the
Week scarp Pace's on Mount Washington this NFL season stop

Chad Tyson turns your car into a sonic playground every
weekday afternoon. He's got a reloaded cut from the DVE
Morning Show Sports and a Workforce commercial Free hour at
three afternoons with Chad Tyson on DVE.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
TIS this season.
Speaker 15 (29:25):
When you're in the mood for a holiday, it's.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
You Radio, Home of the Pittsburg Steelers one O two
point five DVE. Our next guests brought to you by Calusi,
serving the Pittsburgh area for one hundred and seven years.
Over one hundred and seven years, it's double m Mark
Madden from my brother Station one oh five nine The X.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Good morning, Mark, How.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Are you hello again? Everybody?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
All right? What happened to the Penguins last night?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
And what was the easiest way to keep that from happening?
Speaker 11 (30:00):
There were any number of things that went wrong. I
don't know why Muse had both his offensive defenseman out
there to protect the lead late the Penguins were nomine
you on the power play, but it didn't matter at
that point. He had Latang and Carl's not there. They're
both offensive, they're both righties. That didn't make sense to me.
The guy who wound up shoving the pucket a net, well,
(30:21):
Carlson put it in, and why is he diving toward
the net with under a second left toward the net
with the puck there? That just begs for an own goal.
And that's what happened. And the guy drove to the
net right past Rustin Latang. There's only a second or
two left, break his arm, take a big splash at him.
Who cares, You're already upper man, and what's the power
(30:42):
player going to do in three seconds? So they just
made any number of mistakes that led to that tying goal,
and then in the shootout, you gotta start taking shilloffs outs.
I know that's not proper protocol, but in ten shootout
attempts this year, he's conceded eight goals. Yeah, they went
over three shooting and that's a problem. Sid does the
same move every time. It's so predictable. I could stop it.
(31:06):
But they're zero and five in the shootout this year,
nine dating back to last year, and that'll be why
they missed the playoffs. You can't just give away that
many points. You can't lose every single shootout.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I don't understand Sid's lack of productivity in a shootout.
Like to me, he's the one guy you would think
would like work on it incessantly in an offseason and
just manighacally figure out how to be good at it,
and it hasn't happened.
Speaker 11 (31:33):
I can tell you why. It's because he's obsessed with
doing everything the same way all the time. And that's
okay in open play because you can you can color
inside the lines, you know every single shift and do
things the right way, and it pays off. In the shootout.
Repetition's death, the other team clearly knows what's coming and
the goalie just stands there waits for that little shuffle
(31:54):
to the forehand and makes the easy save. Mark.
Speaker 13 (31:57):
We've seen these shootouts long enough now, and this is
even true in college. The best players aren't necessarily the
best shootout guys.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Is that do you think?
Speaker 13 (32:07):
Because everybody bastardizes the breakaway and has to go real
wide and then come all the way back the other
way and go real slow, shouldn't they just treat it
like a breakaway and just break in there knowing you're
not going to get caught from behind and do what
you do.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (32:22):
I think so. I think they like everything in every sport,
every new once, every change made to every game, it's
over thought and over coach and ultimately ruined. Yeah, just
take it like it's a breakaway, come in with speed,
and just make your move and don't do the same
one every time in Sid's case. But but yeah, that's
(32:42):
a big part of it. And part of it is
too that the Penguins generally just go with their best
players in the shootout.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Now.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
They broke ranks with that last night when they let
cloyven and go, who had a pretty good track record
with shootouts in the AHL. He didn't score last night,
but I think that's at least a step in trying
to do the thing.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Uh, Mark, I share your same sentiments towards Bob Dunning
and the pirates for this whole Schwarber scenario, because I
do not think it was a legitimate offer. I clearly
think this was a pr move. The people suggesting that
they were close are not really being genuine when you
look at all of the facts of what he accepted
(33:23):
versus what he was reportedly offered.
Speaker 11 (33:26):
Yeah, exactly. It was amazing to me how the report
of what the pirates offered went up after Schwarbur had
already signed with Philadelphia. We heard it was four years
one hundred plus million, whatever that is. And then when
Schwarber got five years one hundred and fifty million from Philly,
it was like, oh, yeah, well the pilots offered four years,
one hundred and twenty million, same average annual value. So
(33:48):
they just missed well first off offering twenty percent less
if you do believe that, and I don't, but offering
twenty percent less, that's not just missing, that's missing by
a pretty wide margin. But here's one thing I complain
about with pirates coverage that nobody takes seriously, it's absolutely true.
Everybody who covers the Pirates for all the outlets is
a Pirate fan, except for Parada. And they just give
(34:10):
this team every benefit of every doubt, and they print
that offer like it's true. They printed the Nailer offer
to the Seattle guy, which never happened, like yeah, yeah,
and it's like epidemic. Everybody who covers the team is
a Pirate fan. I heard one of them on another
station talking about how the Pirates are a big threat
to sign these two Japanese import guys that are coming over.
(34:33):
I mean that would only happen if the if the
Japanese guy somehow loses tracked of the translation from dollar
to yen and the Pirates can can can successfully lowball them,
and of course who would want to come here in
on live in Pittsburgh's thriving Japanese community.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Well, here's the part where I think they do not
factor in enough of the equation when signing somebody or
trying to sign somebody like Schwarber to suggest even if
you want to go out like, look, there's similar aav.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
And as you point out, I agree with you, No
they're not.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
But even if they were that's not good enough for
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
These two things are not equal.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
The Pittsburgh Pirates, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Dodgers, they are
not the same. And until you show otherwise, you have
to overpay to bring people here.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
That's just the fact that because that's.
Speaker 15 (35:28):
The condition that you created through the last decade and
change whatever that Bob Nutting has been running things, you
created the environment that you have to dig yourself out of,
and they're just not going to do that.
Speaker 11 (35:43):
Well, yeah, you're right. I mean, if you would have
offered Schwarber, say six years, two hundred and twenty million,
which would have blown the Phillies off out of the water,
there's still a good chance you wouldn't have taken it.
They doesn't want to come here and lose. Yeah, they
need to lay groundwork for winning and grindwork for winning.
Isn't having the occasional prospect come through bunch of pictures
like they have now who you know we're gonna leave
in the not too distant future. The groundwork is signing
(36:05):
guys like that the long term deals and getting even
a few mid level free agents to come in serious.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I think that oh he sucks.
Speaker 11 (36:17):
Give me a break.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
I mean I think guy's a legit lefty. Yeah, he's
a real player.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (36:22):
I O god, you guys sound like the Bucco fans
covering the team. Yeah, they signed this.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Lefty with a four points.
Speaker 11 (36:28):
Up to the r A and he's a real player.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
Sut the frig up.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Well, I mean it's a blind squirrel. Uh, small reason for.
Speaker 11 (36:42):
Optimism with this frigging team.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Get the freak out of here.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
No, I didn't say optimism for the team.
Speaker 13 (36:47):
I said he's a real player, which he is, as
him and him, Well.
Speaker 9 (36:54):
You're just like those whoops. Now this is just the
time diving neat in the book. Shut the freak.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
This is when you go from having a legitimate argue.
This undermines your legitimate arguments when you when you equate
Mike to the people that you're saying that a fanboy.
Speaker 9 (37:12):
Needing means nothing nothing.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Have you ever watched them pitch?
Speaker 9 (37:18):
No, i'tend to.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
I'll there you go.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
That's like my dad said he hated Seinfeld and we go.
Have you ever watched it?
Speaker 4 (37:24):
No?
Speaker 11 (37:26):
No, don't you guys agree that it's a problem that
the media scoogents for this team constantly.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
I do think that there are people who have a
tendency because I also, like, I don't want to say
it's a conspiracy, uh sort of theory that I have,
but like, I think the proof is in the pudding
that if you play to the fan base, and I
don't think the pirate media is this is exclusive to them.
This is what's happening across the board, is that if
(37:52):
you tell people what they want to hear, they will
click and clicks our currency, and so yes, screw screw clicks.
Speaker 11 (37:59):
I'd rather not work in the industry than report lies
in BS and the pirates should be covered like an
ongoing criminal operation because they are defrauding. They are they
are taking money out of the city and lying to
us every time they open their frigging mouths.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
So you're not going to pick Soto up at the
airport only to drive.
Speaker 11 (38:20):
Him, well I would, what the heck?
Speaker 9 (38:25):
Yeah, he's probably, I mean, like seriously, I don't know
how like, And that's the problem that people say, whoa,
this is a good pick up.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
No, no, no, no, that's not that's not what us.
Neither of us said that.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
We're saying he's a legit player, that doesn't mean that
they could pick.
Speaker 11 (38:39):
Up five Sodos.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
It wouldn't matter.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Might as well go for a Sodo, Mark Madden.
Speaker 11 (38:45):
What about what about Kettle Marte? You heard that story right.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Oh? Look, they.
Speaker 11 (38:54):
Supposedly Rosenthal reported there the pirates were talking to Arizona
about a deal, and Marte said, well, they're on my
no trade list and no trade right away. I mean,
nobody wants to come here.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Mark Madden.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
He won't get hired by the Chamber of Commerce anytime soon,
but he does provide some of the most peoples.
Speaker 11 (39:11):
I'm the biggest friend this city has ever had when
it comes to talking truth about the pirates Episodo by.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
He's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
But what the thing that people don't maybe don't understand
about Mark is that he doesn't hang up the phone
and then just go about his day like you know,
and like everything's fine. He's actually right now he's the
Cortisol through I mean, you know, he's ripping things up
right now, and Soto.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Makes them better. Does he make them good enough? Absolutely?
Nobody's saying that. No, it's a real player. Well that's
what I'm saying. He can't.
Speaker 13 (39:49):
My thought on this all long is the they're not
going to get Schwarber, but find a happy medium between
Schwarber six years for two hundred million and Tommy fam
one year for six million. Yeah, like get a mid
range bat guy, maybe Alfonso's or Alonzo.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Uh, Pete Alonso. I don't know. Yeah, there's word about
him back out there again.
Speaker 13 (40:10):
Yeah, I suppose the people don't want to sign him
for one reason or another. That in addition to overpaying,
you find some guy with enough warts in age that
maybe people are backing off, and.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
You roll this Whart night in the NC.
Speaker 13 (40:23):
You roll the dice and he's got one more year,
particularly with that Clementy wall beckoning.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Well, that is a big factor, no doubt about it.
Speaker 5 (40:31):
That's why I don't think even like going for a
Schwarber is helpful, because if you're spending all your money there,
that just tips the canoe and you sink.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Anyways, you know what I mean? Like, No, that dude
probably hits sixty five here, Yeah?
Speaker 11 (40:45):
Does he?
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Yeah? Probably? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
You start losing games and people pitch the who's who's
behind him that they're scared to.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Pitch to din.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
That's what I'm saying is, well you know he might
set a record for walks that I would help their
own based Decide.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Jeans Terator live in studio coming up here in just
a little bit and uh pft comment are calling us
at nine fifteen.
Speaker 10 (41:09):
Hi, I'm Megan Calusi of Calusi Chevrolet and we're thrilled
to be able to continue the Red Tag sales event
now
Berg at an iHeart radio station guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All right, everybody parts, but not everybody would study parts
to see if they could. But that's what researchers at
the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine did, and they
came up with something most people might not want to do.
Smell those parts to combat Alzheimer's disease. The scientists discovered.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That the eggs, smelling like hydrogen sulfide found in farts,
can potentially protect your brain's aging cells against Alzheimer's by
up to thirty seven percent.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
This, this is true.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
My dad would have never got tomnia.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yep, I don't believe any of this.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
He was, you know, subject number one, I guess. But
the researchers tested on mice would.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Work today at Johns Hopkins.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Well that makes it, yeah, because if Johns Hopkins isn't
in the Yeah, it's really not very noble.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, the second round of two way movie is terrible.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Randy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
They laughed at me when I farted on mice for
years now, who's laughing still them?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
All right, got it. Abby's got your news right now.
Tad Wessel hanging in studio with us. We got a
bang in two hours lined up here. Still left to
come here Mark Madden at eight forty five pft commoner,
we'll call it nine to fifteen, and the entire nine
am hour, our buddy Jean Sterotor from the NFL and
CBS will be live in studio with us here at DVE.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I love that much.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
He wasn't busy enough, Like.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
He wasn't busy enough. Exactly what's going on over there?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
New This hour is brought to you by Window Nation,
cloudy with most of us seeing just rained today.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Instead of snow high of thirty eight. All right, so
if you remember this week.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
In an interview with The New York Post, Gene Simmons
chose to speak ill of the death, and in speaking
about Ace freely, he said that Ace had refused advice
from the people that cared about him, including yours, truly,
to try to change his lifestyle, saying that Ace had
been in and out of bad decisions.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Falling down the stairs.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I'm not a doctor, doesn't kill you, which at Ace's
age he died at the age of seventy six, absolutely
kills you.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
It actually does.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But Jean said there may have been other issues, and
it breaks my heart. The saddest thing. You reap what
you sow. Unfortunately, it breaks my heart.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, it's just probably it's like one of those things
you don't bring up after somebody dies because it's in
bad taste. But nobody's ever accused Jene Simmons for having taste,
despite the fact that his tongue is like longer than
a camel's.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
I'm just glad he was able to make it about
himself because not everyone could do that to, you know,
find the angle. How can I get the at back
on me when that guy died?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now, Jean did say just I believe today on Twitter
on reflection, I was wrong for using the words I used.
I humbly apologize my hand to God. I didn't intend
to hurt Ace or his legacy, But upon rereading my words,
I see how it hurt everyone. Again, I apologize. I've
(03:26):
always loved Ace always.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Let me reread this.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Ace was a loser, scumbag, drug addict who deserved to die.
Yeah that looks bad when you write it down.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, now you see it.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
He was so effusive when Ozzy passed away, to the
point where he was brought to tears it was the
most humble we had ever heard him. And for him
to have spent truly his lifetime with Ace really.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
To read.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Like for it to click that that was not the
way to go.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Well, I will say this, at least he waited several
days before actually like, you know, tarnishing any good thing
he said about Ace Raeli, because I remember when Jerry
Lewis was talking about Dean Martin and he's like, you know,
Dean Martin dies, and he's like, Dean could have done
everything that I did. He was a genius. He could
(04:29):
have written all those bits if he wanted to. He
could have been the one who was the slapstick comedian
if he wanted to. He had that much talent. He
could have directed all of those things. He could have
done it all had he chose to. That's how much
talent he had. I only did it because he allowed
me to. And the interviewer goes, do you really believe that?
He goes absolutely not, immediately immed fantastic.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
No, of course not.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
He was talentless and he was to be in my wake,
like in the same conversation.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So at least Jean waited a little.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
While I gave it a little bit of time, all right.
The elf on the shelf tradition officially turns twenty this year.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Oh it is annoying.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
But useful, I will say for parents, I mean this
has come in handy for you.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Yes, no, we don't do it, pagan. Yeah, we have
a biker biker that we put on the fireplace every year.
Speaker 9 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, his name is Brutus. Yeah, and uh that's a
different celebration altogether, right.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
No, elf on a shelf is a joy every holiday
season for the kids, and it also does draw ire
for a lot of the adults involved. So if you
don't know what it is, it involves the elf essentially
monitoring the kid's behavior. The elf moves around the house,
and the kids cannot touch the elf or it loses
its powers and its magic. But magically, every day, likely
every morning, the kids wake up throughout the month of
(06:08):
December and the elf has moved to another place.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Do they sound like a withered elf that you could
put out if you suspect one of your kids of
having touched it, and then you're like.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Oh my god, who touched the elf? And then it's
just like sitting there like.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
Yeah, exactly. The end of the fly, kill me.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Brundle elf.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, if you really want
to drive home the message, and someone who.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Went to nine years of Catholic school, I deeply resent
the elf. You're supposed to just be afraid of God
forever and not really sure why. Yeah, but you know,
because he's a vengeful God. Yeah, exactly. Vengeance is mine.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You were born with it, exactly, ordered by it.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I don't know how the elms do it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
People love the on the shelf though, because it keeps
kids in line.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I get it. It does you know any trick this
time of the day. Look, parents have it so tough.
I'm all in favor of anything you can do to
get your kids whipped into shape and just acting good
and scaring the hell out of them. And Santa provides
you a month at the end of the year to
just like threaten your kid with the worst imaginable scenario,
(07:32):
which is coal in your stocking and no gifts because
you're on the naughty list.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
And if that helps out, great, drive that on.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Just just fill them full of a psychosis for the
rest of their life at a very young age, and
just deep seated things that will come to roost much
later in life. If it gets you a couple of
weeks of them behaving, it's like it's you know, they
(08:01):
didn't have the iPad for many many centuries to just
give their kid and keep them occupied.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Now you can really drive it home and make them
behave well and good. That's great. I'm all for the
OFLF on the shelf for that reason.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I mean, I guess we were gifted en elf on
a shelf many many years ago and never implemented.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
It's in the box.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
And at this point, because of social media, Edie has
told me that she has no interest in ELF on
the shelf. I certainly never ruined it for other kids,
but she's seen too much and she now has told
me that, you know, she's a little suspect on the
whole concept. And I told her that the reason why
I never opened the box is because I don't believe
(08:45):
in a police date and I don't want to bring
that surveilance to our home.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's not nice. I mean, the National Guard is in
the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I just don't want that kind of That's why I
won't to get an ALEXA. Honestly, I just can't have
somebody watching us all the time.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Well, somebody already is. They're just like in your phone
or on your laptop. When you leave it open, I
can't see it. Do you close out of social media
apps when you like browse away from them?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
I didn't know that that was the thing until two
weeks ago when my wife said, do you close all
your taps?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
You close all your apps? I said, how do you
do that? You gotta sign idea, got to sign out?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Great, cool, awesome, Yeah, I'll do that more.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Did you see that Australia banned all social media?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Nuh uh for kids under.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Under fifteen.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
It is now illegal for kids to use social media.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean it's been said many times before, where you know,
the average parent is like, here's all the tech. Kids
go at it and keep yourself occupied and you can
use learning tools on your iPad and things like that.
And then the people who develop all the technology, you're like,
they just give their kids wooden blocks and they don't
let them see a screen until they're like fourteen years old.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Listen, I have.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
A different child when there's a social media break.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
For whatever reason, her father gave her his iPad with
his Instagram log in and let her use his for
you tab. There's two problems with this one never.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Never in a million years.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Well, which Joe, it's probably just a lot of guitar,
like you know, construction and things like that.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
That brings me to the second problem. Randy, it's not.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's a lot of like cute, fluffy Kwai animals. He's
a metal guy, you know, metal guys love kittens.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I was kind of like taken aback by that because
I'm like, shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
You, as a forty six year old man, be afraid
to give a nine year old your phone, Like shouldn't
you have.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Some skeletons in your closet? Shouldn't you be clean?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Nope, it's nothing but like little cartoons of like little
bears hugging each other going I love you.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
And like little Kawhi animals.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But he gave her his Instagram and would let her
just scroll endlessly.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
With like no fear at all, and I'm like, this
is I have so many problems with this.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
But she got like so used to it that she
just started like asking for it all the time, and
I just shut that down like two days ago, where
I'm like, there are so many issues with this because
like truly. Instagram has rules about you can't have an
Instagram account unless you're thirteen here in the United States.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
How do they prove that?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Though, I don't know, there's probably lead your social Security number.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
No, there's definitely ways around it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
But you know, like we're basically giving her an adult count.
And the only reason why he was on board when
also getting rid of it was because he found out
that even though he told her not to, she was
commenting under his profile and writing things like this is.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Cringe so funny.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I mean all she probably bore to death if she
got into my for UTAP because it would be all
colonoscopy farts and wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald me.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Actually, she would be like, are we best friends? Like
finally an algorithm I can get into.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
I just should doodled, you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
That's the best, that's the best one. Yeah, I just
should doodled. You did what I should doodled in my pants?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Me getting back onto the Yelp on the shelf thing.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
There is also by the way, men show on a bench,
which is for the Jewish family, like.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
That we had Klaus in the house when you know,
back in the day of the klaus Mina doll.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah, that would sit up on the shelf. Klaus Mina.
I'm still loving you.
Speaker 10 (13:01):
I'll catch me though, use on my power. We know,
and it's a blackout old time and maum all right,
the last story I will give you here.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Cher is reportedly preparing to marry her longtime partner Alexander
Edwards ahead of her eightieth birthday next May. This is
according to page six, so it's not totally confirmed.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
This wedding has brought to you by the substance, the substance.
If you're not taking it, why not the substance.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Share'ses her upcoming birthday is a perfect moment to seal
the deal. The couple's been dating since two thousand and
twenty two.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Wait but yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Despite a forty year age gap, Share remains unbothered by.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
The critics, saying that they just have a blast.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
However, representative for Share says the reports are not true,
leaving the credibility of the marriage plan unconfirmed.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
I We're gonna ask forty four zero.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Imagine getting a birthday card that said, lordy, lordie, look
who's forty and then someone's like, oh yeah, also, here
meet my newborn and then thinking, you know, one day,
one day, one sweet day, the two of us are
gonna be conjoined. What in marital bliss? Are you kidding me? Well,
(14:21):
why would she do that? I get why she would
do it.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
She made it.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
She got past men.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Yeah, well there are those women who it's different, right,
I know it doesn't get better postman.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
No, it's she did it.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Like Catherine Hepburn was famously like that. Jane Fonda is
now like that, yeah, where she's like, yeah, I'm done.
But Share never has been. Sheair has always been a gypsy,
a tramp, a thief.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
She's into it forty somebody far and tell her, yeah,
just to remind she's rich.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
She's got the Alzheimer's is what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
She's rich.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Her family's like locker in a room with a pot
of chili, and let's hope she comes to her senses
cloudy with most.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Of us just seeing rain.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Today's I have thirty eight on the way for you.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Mark Mannen will be joining us at eight forty five,
and then Jean's Terotor live in studio here in the
dv E Morning show, Well Bank vault, bank fault is
really what it is. The confines here and pft Commoner
will be giving us a call while Gene is here.
But here for you now with a eulogy on your
fantasy football team. It's our own tad, whistle tad.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Dearly beloved friends, haters and douchebags that have advanced to
the playoffs. We're gathered here today to mourn the death
of your terrible twenty twenty five fantasy football team. For
those of you who did not know that departed, they
came into this world is so many any do. Drafted
(16:02):
in late August amid much hope and promise, this team
seemed bound for big things. Expectations were high, and why
wouldn't they be. After all, you secured an elite wide
receiving tandem and Tyreek Hill and aj Brown. You had
Bell Cows in the backfield with Saquon and Breis Hall.
(16:23):
This was your year, and so this squad plucked from
the stars, was given a name fit for a champion,
Steve Sucks. A cheeky tip of the cat to your
brother in law, Steve, who, in all fairness sucks. But
(16:48):
the best laid plans often go awry, and a rocky
season followed. Whether it was injuries, no show performances, or
every dunce in your league having their hot week against
your team, you quickly found yourself behind the gate ball.
It was the kind of year that would make you
quit fantasy football altogether if you were a total loser
(17:10):
like Notre Dame. But through adversity, real champions are born
and Steve Sucks would not go gentle into that good night.
You spent hours on Reddit, consuming the advice of strangers.
You sifted through hot garbage on the waiver wire. Week
(17:31):
after week. You skipped your daughter's soccer game to see
if Jerome Ford could score two measly points against the Jets.
He could not. This team was your baby. You loved
it like your own and sometimes love makes you do
(17:53):
crazy things like text a picture of a three D
printed gun to the league group tat at one in
the morning, which again was a joke.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
It was from Google Images. It's not like you own that, sheeesh.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
You may have finished tenth in the league, but you
were seventh in points, which is sort of similar to
the Tomlin no losing season's thing.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
But still no one can take that away from you.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
For some the end of the fantasy football season means
venmoing a dude. You now hate fifty bucks with the
memo choke on it. For others, it involves a heinous
punishment in which you have to gratify yourself in the
restroom of a waffle house. But as we now lay
(18:52):
Steve Sucks and all the other loser fantasy teams to rest,
Just remember fantasy football is deeply stupid and no one
wants to hear you talk about it. Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust, Amen Amen, Ted Whistle, rip your fantasy
(19:15):
football squad coming up?

The Steelers won a game last Sunday in Baltimore despite
being badly out rushed by the Ravens, and it wasn't
the first time, naturally, mcdonmalin wasn't surprised.
Speaker 14 (20:24):
You know, they're built different than a lot of teams,
and so the nature of our matchups are different. You know,
you can almost substitute their rushing yards for passing yards
and vice versa. The bottom line is, you better win
the turnover game, you better be good in the red area,
you better make timely situational plays, and you know that's
kind of the formula for playing those guys from our perspective.
Speaker 13 (20:45):
Yeah, Ravens out rushing the Steelers two hundred and seventeen
to thirty four. That's one hundred and eighty three more
rushing yards, Yet the Steelers win the game twenty seven
to twenty two. Twenty twenty one at the Ravens, Baltimore
out rushes Pittsburgh two forty nine the seventy nine Pittsburgh
wins sixteen thirteen to twenty twenty twenty at the Ravens
(21:07):
Baltimore out rushes Pittsburgh two sixty five to forty eight,
Steelers win the game twenty eight to twenty four. That
Ravens are different, which brings us to Miami, which I
think is also different. Now, we just heard from Merril
Hodge and he said it's really more of a power
running game with a lot of eye candy window dressing.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
He watches more tape than I do.
Speaker 13 (21:29):
But when I watched Miami play against the Jets, I
kept getting a Boise State vibe in my head. They
look like a college too. What the hell kind of
formation is that?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
What do they do?
Speaker 13 (21:39):
Why is that guy there? What are they doing so
much stuff? Why are they doing so much stuff? Pre snap? Eventually,
Davon eight Chan's going to get the ball, and that's
the guy you got to focus on.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And that's the guy you got to start. Take the
little Glenn Miller.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Nice, Well that's written by Pittsburgh. Yeah, Billy what's his name?
Con No, Billy Kahn did not write music. He made
a lot of people hear birds though, Billy Strehorn.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Thank you? Wow? Yeah, out of nowhere? Oh yeah, dude,
he wrote all like a ton of Duke Ellington songs.
And he heard he was on the train and the
rhythm of the train made him think of that. That's
where that melody came from. And hopefully this dude isn't
making music against the Steelers defense on Monday night.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
Yeah, And if you're not going to get out rushed
by one hundred and eighty or so yards, you got
to limit their rushing and you also have to run
the ball better. Uh, Steelers, that's still work in progress.
They're one of two teams in the NFL to average
fewer than one hundred yards rushing per game and still
have a winning record. The forty nine Ers are nine
(22:55):
and four despite averaging ninety eight point five yards on
the ground per game. Steelers are eighty nine point two.
Now they're compromise to tackle Calvin Anderson will not be
able to fill in again because of his knee.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Broderick Jones is on the reserve ange list.
Speaker 13 (23:08):
It's either going to be Andre's Pete, who is in
the concussion protocol, or Dylan Cook, who's been hanging around
the NFL for three years and finally made his debut
last Sunday in Baltimore. Steelers Revolves also won two games
this season when rushing for fewer than forty yards. The
other teams that have done that rushed for fewer than
(23:31):
forty yards this season in the NFL are zero to eight.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Wow. I mean.
Speaker 13 (23:38):
You could argue they're sort of sneaking by here without
necessarily achieving a sustainable level of play. Oh yes, so
some things need to change against the Dolphins on Monday Night.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
But that's what people are arguing. That's those the people
who won't enjoy a win. That's the kind of stuff
they cite. You know, what's the point of enjoying this
now only to be disappointed later?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
I guess none.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Whereas I love beating the Ravens and I'm totally happy. Yeah,
we should celebrate that. Yeah, agreed, I think you should.
Seeing John Harbaugh miserable, how does that not bring you
joy the holiday?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Crying like a little bit. Tom have given him a
little bit of a shot yesterday. He's like, I don't
call the NFL ya. They know he has I know,
but he's just want to stake it this time.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
But if that was his motivation, I'm all for it.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
I think it was Derek Harmon, big big guy for
the run defense.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
It's it's looking promising.
Speaker 13 (24:39):
Mike Tomlin made no guarantees yesterday, but they're gonna let
Harmon's practice participation in the quality thereof be their guide.
They've got an extra day, so maybe he plays arrows
up on DK Metcalf. Despite the stomach problems that kept
him in Baltimore, Kyle Dugger has a chance to play,
according to tom and this is a big deal because yes,
Miami doesn't ass very often. But the way the Steelers
(25:03):
played it without Dugger was to use Jabrill Peppers when
they thought the other team was gonna run, and Chuck
Clark when they thought the other team was going to pass.
And I'm I just have no confidence in Chuck Clark
at this point, when twenty one's out there, I think
they are vulnerable. Ble Well, Douger is a thumper too,
and I mean he's an okay player. I don't think
(25:23):
he's all pro or anything, but you can lean out
there all the time, right.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
Dougger's almost he's almost had many interceptions. I know he
has one for a touchdown that he's Yeah, the kid
almost fish hook mcgloyin almost nearly.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
All I know is I had a defense of any
time touchdown and a Dougger interception that day. I was
just like, Wow, it was almost like hitting the Derek
Watt touchdown anytime TV plus twenty five eighty or whatever
it was.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You didn't play it the one time I scored, I
did not. Yeah, uh played it every week. Didn't play
it the week he scored. Pete, MALIEK.
Speaker 13 (26:02):
Harrison, and Darnel Washington are in the Concussion Protocol. Washington
critical to the running game. Mike Tomlin was talking about
Malie Harrison as the you know, run defense guy yesterday
and I concur but I think Cole Holcomb's a really
good player. I don't have a problem with fifty five
out there.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
He got smoked on the the the big play. Yeah,
you know, everybody everybody smoked that in moments. Steelers hosting
the Dolphins Monday night at.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
After we saw Heismith had a great game, all right.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I still thought i'd be seeing more Jack Sawyer at
this point in the season. Like, I know, he hasn't
necessarily been needed at this point, but I thought i'd
be seeing him utilize a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
I don't know why I did not check his snapcount.
I thought i'd hear his name a little more offensive,
more tuning.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, spelling, guys, exactly A name I did w A.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
A name I didn't think i'd see a lot is
Carson Carson Brunner, who had a hell of a special
teams game.
Speaker 13 (27:03):
Yeah, Mike tomm made a point yesterday of saluting his
special teams. Everybody's always focused on offense and defense, and
justifiably so. But from the kicking to the covering and
that that video of Ben's kronic awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
It's just why you love the NFL.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Right, So, I love Ben's krooniic and he's still in
the lead right now. If you retweet that, that counts
as a vote oh for him to get to the
Pro Bowl.
Speaker 13 (27:29):
I knew this because he's told us on social media,
Hey retweet it and vote for me.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Yeah, dude, I want him to get the money I
thought that.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
I didn't think that was real when people have said
retweets count.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
As votes, I thought that was for the general election.
I totally if it's a swing stake, that's right.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
We're going to have Mark Madden joining us in about
nine minutes. Jean's territor will be live in studio with
us in the nine o'clock hour. Can't wait to have
Gino in here. That'll be great. PFT commenter will be
giving us a shout during that nine of two, so
you'll have genis serrator and pfte.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
James Madison guy.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
He is the so PFT is a James Madison grad
and he is of course rooting for his team to
take on Oregon. So every day until they play, he's
eating duck. I like it, Yeah, yes, so is.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
You know.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
I'm not a huge fan of Twitter social media in general,
but James Madison had a great tweet the other day.
It was put out by James Madison. It was something
along the lines, so I'm not quoting it for badam.
But I don't know why everybody says this game is
going to be a blowout. We think this Oregon team's scrappy.
They might give us a game PFT nine to fifteen.
(28:39):
Abbey's News at the top of the hour with Gene.
We'll maybe kick around a couple of things with.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Gene, you know what, because he's the rules guy.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
We're actually gonna talk about who lies the most at
the self checkout by the numbers and you might be surprised.
Speaker 5 (28:52):

Speaker 5 (29:33):
You Radio, Home of the Pittsburg Steelers one O two
point five DVE. Our next guests brought to you by Calusi,
serving the Pittsburgh area for one hundred and seven years.
Over one hundred and seven years, it's double m Mark
Madden from my brother Station one oh five nine The X.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Good morning, Mark, How.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Are you hello again? Everybody?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
All right? What happened to the Penguins last night?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
And what was the easiest way to keep that from happening?
Speaker 11 (30:00):
There were any number of things that went wrong. I
don't know why Muse had both his offensive defenseman out
there to protect the lead late the Penguins were nomine
you on the power play, but it didn't matter at
that point. He had Latang and Carl's not there. They're
both offensive, they're both righties. That didn't make sense to me.
The guy who wound up shoving the pucket a net, well,
(30:21):
Carlson put it in, and why is he diving toward
the net with under a second left toward the net
with the puck there? That just begs for an own goal.
And that's what happened. And the guy drove to the
net right past Rustin Latang. There's only a second or
two left, break his arm, take a big splash at him.
Who cares, You're already upper man, and what's the power
(30:42):
player going to do in three seconds? So they just
made any number of mistakes that led to that tying goal,
and then in the shootout, you gotta start taking shilloffs outs.
I know that's not proper protocol, but in ten shootout
attempts this year, he's conceded eight goals. Yeah, they went
over three shooting and that's a problem. Sid does the
same move every time. It's so predictable. I could stop it.
(31:06):
But they're zero and five in the shootout this year,
nine dating back to last year, and that'll be why
they missed the playoffs. You can't just give away that
many points. You can't lose every single shootout.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I don't understand Sid's lack of productivity in a shootout.
Like to me, he's the one guy you would think
would like work on it incessantly in an offseason and
just manighacally figure out how to be good at it,
and it hasn't happened.
Speaker 11 (31:33):
I can tell you why. It's because he's obsessed with
doing everything the same way all the time. And that's
okay in open play because you can you can color
inside the lines, you know every single shift and do
things the right way, and it pays off. In the shootout.
Repetition's death, the other team clearly knows what's coming and
the goalie just stands there waits for that little shuffle
(31:54):
to the forehand and makes the easy save. Mark.
Speaker 13 (31:57):
We've seen these shootouts long enough now, and this is
even true in college. The best players aren't necessarily the
best shootout guys.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Is that do you think?
Speaker 13 (32:07):
Because everybody bastardizes the breakaway and has to go real
wide and then come all the way back the other
way and go real slow, shouldn't they just treat it
like a breakaway and just break in there knowing you're
not going to get caught from behind and do what
you do.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (32:22):
I think so. I think they like everything in every sport,
every new once, every change made to every game, it's
over thought and over coach and ultimately ruined. Yeah, just
take it like it's a breakaway, come in with speed,
and just make your move and don't do the same
one every time in Sid's case. But but yeah, that's
(32:42):
a big part of it. And part of it is
too that the Penguins generally just go with their best
players in the shootout.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Now.
Speaker 11 (32:49):
They broke ranks with that last night when they let
cloyven and go, who had a pretty good track record
with shootouts in the AHL. He didn't score last night,
but I think that's at least a step in trying
to do the thing.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Uh, Mark, I share your same sentiments towards Bob Dunning
and the pirates for this whole Schwarber scenario, because I
do not think it was a legitimate offer. I clearly
think this was a pr move. The people suggesting that
they were close are not really being genuine when you
look at all of the facts of what he accepted
(33:23):
versus what he was reportedly offered.
Speaker 11 (33:26):
Yeah, exactly. It was amazing to me how the report
of what the pirates offered went up after Schwarbur had
already signed with Philadelphia. We heard it was four years
one hundred plus million, whatever that is. And then when
Schwarber got five years one hundred and fifty million from Philly,
it was like, oh, yeah, well the pilots offered four years,
one hundred and twenty million, same average annual value. So
(33:48):
they just missed well first off offering twenty percent less
if you do believe that, and I don't, but offering
twenty percent less, that's not just missing, that's missing by
a pretty wide margin. But here's one thing I complain
about with pirates coverage that nobody takes seriously, it's absolutely true.
Everybody who covers the Pirates for all the outlets is
a Pirate fan, except for Parada. And they just give
(34:10):
this team every benefit of every doubt, and they print
that offer like it's true. They printed the Nailer offer
to the Seattle guy, which never happened, like yeah, yeah,
and it's like epidemic. Everybody who covers the team is
a Pirate fan. I heard one of them on another
station talking about how the Pirates are a big threat
to sign these two Japanese import guys that are coming over.
(34:33):
I mean that would only happen if the if the
Japanese guy somehow loses tracked of the translation from dollar
to yen and the Pirates can can can successfully lowball them,
and of course who would want to come here in
on live in Pittsburgh's thriving Japanese community.
Speaker 5 (34:48):
Well, here's the part where I think they do not
factor in enough of the equation when signing somebody or
trying to sign somebody like Schwarber to suggest even if
you want to go out like, look, there's similar aav.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
And as you point out, I agree with you, No
they're not.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
But even if they were that's not good enough for
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
These two things are not equal.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
The Pittsburgh Pirates, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Dodgers, they are
not the same. And until you show otherwise, you have
to overpay to bring people here.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
That's just the fact that because that's.
Speaker 15 (35:28):
The condition that you created through the last decade and
change whatever that Bob Nutting has been running things, you
created the environment that you have to dig yourself out of,
and they're just not going to do that.
Speaker 11 (35:43):
Well, yeah, you're right. I mean, if you would have
offered Schwarber, say six years, two hundred and twenty million,
which would have blown the Phillies off out of the water,
there's still a good chance you wouldn't have taken it.
They doesn't want to come here and lose. Yeah, they
need to lay groundwork for winning and grindwork for winning.
Isn't having the occasional prospect come through bunch of pictures
like they have now who you know we're gonna leave
in the not too distant future. The groundwork is signing
(36:05):
guys like that the long term deals and getting even
a few mid level free agents to come in serious.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
I think that oh he sucks.
Speaker 11 (36:17):
Give me a break.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
I mean I think guy's a legit lefty. Yeah, he's
a real player.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (36:22):
I O god, you guys sound like the Bucco fans
covering the team. Yeah, they signed this.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Lefty with a four points.
Speaker 11 (36:28):
Up to the r A and he's a real player.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
Sut the frig up.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Well, I mean it's a blind squirrel. Uh, small reason for.
Speaker 11 (36:42):
Optimism with this frigging team.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
Get the freak out of here.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
No, I didn't say optimism for the team.
Speaker 13 (36:47):
I said he's a real player, which he is, as
him and him, Well.
Speaker 9 (36:54):
You're just like those whoops. Now this is just the
time diving neat in the book. Shut the freak.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
This is when you go from having a legitimate argue.
This undermines your legitimate arguments when you when you equate
Mike to the people that you're saying that a fanboy.
Speaker 9 (37:12):
Needing means nothing nothing.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Have you ever watched them pitch?
Speaker 9 (37:18):
No, i'tend to.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
I'll there you go.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
That's like my dad said he hated Seinfeld and we go.
Have you ever watched it?
Speaker 4 (37:24):
No?
Speaker 11 (37:26):
No, don't you guys agree that it's a problem that
the media scoogents for this team constantly.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
I do think that there are people who have a
tendency because I also, like, I don't want to say
it's a conspiracy, uh sort of theory that I have,
but like, I think the proof is in the pudding
that if you play to the fan base, and I
don't think the pirate media is this is exclusive to them.
This is what's happening across the board, is that if
(37:52):
you tell people what they want to hear, they will
click and clicks our currency, and so yes, screw screw clicks.
Speaker 11 (37:59):
I'd rather not work in the industry than report lies
in BS and the pirates should be covered like an
ongoing criminal operation because they are defrauding. They are they
are taking money out of the city and lying to
us every time they open their frigging mouths.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
So you're not going to pick Soto up at the
airport only to drive.
Speaker 11 (38:20):
Him, well I would, what the heck?
Speaker 9 (38:25):
Yeah, he's probably, I mean, like seriously, I don't know
how like, And that's the problem that people say, whoa,
this is a good pick up.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
No, no, no, no, that's not that's not what us.
Neither of us said that.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
We're saying he's a legit player, that doesn't mean that
they could pick.
Speaker 11 (38:39):
Up five Sodos.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
It wouldn't matter.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Might as well go for a Sodo, Mark Madden.
Speaker 11 (38:45):
What about what about Kettle Marte? You heard that story right.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Oh? Look, they.
Speaker 11 (38:54):
Supposedly Rosenthal reported there the pirates were talking to Arizona
about a deal, and Marte said, well, they're on my
no trade list and no trade right away. I mean,
nobody wants to come here.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Mark Madden.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
He won't get hired by the Chamber of Commerce anytime soon,
but he does provide some of the most peoples.
Speaker 11 (39:11):
I'm the biggest friend this city has ever had when
it comes to talking truth about the pirates Episodo by.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
He's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
But what the thing that people don't maybe don't understand
about Mark is that he doesn't hang up the phone
and then just go about his day like you know,
and like everything's fine. He's actually right now he's the
Cortisol through I mean, you know, he's ripping things up
right now, and Soto.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Makes them better. Does he make them good enough? Absolutely?
Nobody's saying that. No, it's a real player. Well that's
what I'm saying. He can't.
Speaker 13 (39:49):
My thought on this all long is the they're not
going to get Schwarber, but find a happy medium between
Schwarber six years for two hundred million and Tommy fam
one year for six million. Yeah, like get a mid
range bat guy, maybe Alfonso's or Alonzo.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Uh, Pete Alonso. I don't know. Yeah, there's word about
him back out there again.
Speaker 13 (40:10):
Yeah, I suppose the people don't want to sign him
for one reason or another. That in addition to overpaying,
you find some guy with enough warts in age that
maybe people are backing off, and.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
You roll this Whart night in the NC.
Speaker 13 (40:23):
You roll the dice and he's got one more year,
particularly with that Clementy wall beckoning.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Well, that is a big factor, no doubt about it.
Speaker 5 (40:31):
That's why I don't think even like going for a
Schwarber is helpful, because if you're spending all your money there,
that just tips the canoe and you sink.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Anyways, you know what I mean? Like, No, that dude
probably hits sixty five here, Yeah?
Speaker 11 (40:45):
Does he?
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Yeah? Probably? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
You start losing games and people pitch the who's who's
behind him that they're scared to.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Pitch to din.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
That's what I'm saying is, well you know he might
set a record for walks that I would help their
own based Decide.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Jeans Terator live in studio coming up here in just
a little bit and uh pft comment are calling us
at nine fifteen.
Speaker 10 (41:09):
Hi, I'm Megan Calusi of Calusi Chevrolet and we're thrilled
