W DV eight Pittsburgh, an iHeartRadio station, guaranteed Human.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We were gifted and ELF on a shelf many many
years ago and never implemented.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's in the box.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And at this point, because of social media, Edi 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
(00:56):
in a police state and I don't want to bring
that surveilance in to our home.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's not nice. I mean, the National Guard is in
the kitchen. Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

the thing. You are. You're dressed to travel, you're hitting
the road.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
You're doing a stand up this weekend in Boston, but
you're coming back to do the big Matt Light ugly
Christmas sweater.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Yeah, right, and if anyone wants to donate me in
ugly Christmas sweater, I'm available on Saturday. You don't have one, no,
because I've been in California for thirty years, I have
like one nice sweat.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
So there's a way to cheat because Amazon like sells them, right,
they have crappy sweaters that you can just order, but
like they're like, you know, ridiculous ugly Christmas sweaters.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
But I feel like that's cheating.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I think you got to go to a good will
and really come up with an old an oldie, but
a goodie.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
That's what I'm gonna try to do in Boston.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
I just I really wanted one of those like hull
Cogan ones, but I think they're too precious to be
at a good will.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Hul Cogan ones. Which one is that? What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
You know, like the Christmas sweater it has like hul
Cogan on the front of right, Yeah, something really funny. Yeah,
just a horrible sweater. Yeah, you know, but we'll see.
I have I have a few days to pick it up,
but it'd be fun.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Well, it has to be something that you can wear
on stage two.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Yeah, well, I what would be the difference in public
or nothing, which is to say that you need to
move around a little bit. Yeah, somebody, it can't be
like this shirt got a little tight. I was actually
gonna wear a difference. That's what happened. When you go
to Danny's with your buddy, it's like the next day
you're like a little bit tight in the shirt.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So you had a buddy in town last night.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Yeah, my buddy, Jack Murray, one of my oldest friends.
I met him like thirty some years ago. He was
a He came into my well as a waiter and
I was a bartender at a Mexican rest to run
in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Dude, you did time everywhere. It's hilarious. I don't even
know you lived in Phoenix. For Arizona is doing time?
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Yeah, well yeah, you know Scottsdale. Yeah yeah no. So yeah,
it was funny because not too many people. I went
out there screw around a little bit and not too
many people. It's more like I'm not a tennis golf guy,
which is Arizona right especially there, especially like Scottsdale. So
(03:31):
he just came in my well and I'm like, hey man,
you're cool, and literally, well that's how I'm at BEV.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
You know, he became my best buddy and I just
bellied up to the bar and he was the bartender,
and then we became friends for twenty five years.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
And at that point, I had like a speck of
weed left, that's all I had on earth, and I'm like,
I'll smoke it with this dude, why not sure? And
then boom. He then moved in with me like a
few months later. Well you guys move fast, Yes, yes, yes,
we'll me and my buddy Bob Bonus, who might be
listening to this. And it's funny because you know when
people move in. He he literally just stayed on my
(04:04):
couch obviously, but you know when people move in those days,
it was like your futon and your CDs. Yes, he
literally moved in a mountain bike without tires.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
His first four objects.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
A mountain bike without tires's a frame, yeah, a architectural easel.
He's not an architect someday, snowboard without bindings.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Okay, so, and four bald.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Snow tires in Arizona. That's what he brought to Now,
that's what he brought in the first four things.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Any explanation for I mean, now the snowboard, okay, but
an easel for architecture when he's not an architect, no
explanation for well, you know.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
And by then I knew him, so I knew it
was just bizarre that he's just a quirky dude.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Yeah, quirky. It's funny.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
And then when I moved to San Francisco a couple
of years later, he had moved different parts of the country.
He came back lived with me in San Francisco on
a couch, actually shared a couch with another like we
had so many people's living in my apartment on Eighth Street.
Now he's literally a real estate mogul.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Has been one of the nicest houses on Quite Hill
by Koite Tower.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So in the Bay Area, this is rarefied air.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
He literally has one. And his view overlooks the Bay
Bridge and the Golden three blocks downhill. He's right in
the heart of North Beach, like he's in one of
the most golden places on earth.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I do. I do love it there so much.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It is there's something about when I'm in San Francisco,
and I kind of feel this way just about the
whole Pacific Northwest too, not that San Francisco is the
Pacific Northwest, but those two places specifically, there's something about
the air there. I feel like I'm supposed to be there,
you know what i mean. And I'm like, oh, I'm home.
This is where I'm supposed to be. I don't know why,
but it's just those places call.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Me man, I mean, same thing. This is other than Pittsburgh.
It's the most place I I mean, I feel at
home in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's what I feel like. Yeah, well, Pittsburgh is like
a glove.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Yeah, you know, it's you know, except when I'm trying
to drive around, I forget where I'm going.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Wait, so you took him to Danny's last night. You're like,
welcome to Pittsburgh. We got to go get a sub Well.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
They're like, where do you want to go?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
And I literally said, I go we can go here.
We can go here, you know my favorite sandwich and
just a great place, great on it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
It's the best.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Or we can go to Premats, which I also love,
like because you know, his girlfriend's from his girlfriend is
from the Ukraine. So I'm like, if you see anything
about Pittsburgh, you're gonna see a sandwich with French fries
and coastal on it and I go, but you know,
I'll take you down to the Strip, which is one
of my favorite places to be. Yes, but you know
(06:53):
at seven thirty at night, it's not going to be
like the Strip. No, no, wait till Saturday morning, right
or just Friday? Yeah, any morning you want Penning Back
to be open. So I'm like, so, I'm like, well,
let's we get to Danny's. And then we went around.
It's some road, some road was closed where I had
to go. So I wanted to go through the tunnel
where you get like the big boom the bon Jovi. Yeah,
(07:14):
like the big when you saw it changes. So we
did that. It blew him away. We went to the
North Side, in total north Side fashion. Had to drink
and they had a couple of Manhattans, and of course
of the ladies like, we don't have any cherries.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I'm like, that's they didn't make too many. Man He
went to the North Side, didn't anywhere. No, well, this
this is like the least.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I I went to the Government Center. I mean, I
love the Government Center. Not where I would go for Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Yeah, well I know, but you know they I mean, well, well, no,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
We're just you know, we just drink. They drink whiskey.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I'm still fighting the gout, so I'm like I had like,
you're still dealing with the gout, dude. I'll tell you
what I want to do a countdown. I just like
count how many days? But this is the best. And
then because I won't take about the about Washington. We
had two drinks there though, but the man were great.
They're great, Like I like the whole record store aspect,
it's awesome. I didn't know that it was closed on
(08:13):
the week nights earlier. The records the place is great.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
And I want an excuse to go through the tunnel
that way and then go up to Mount Washington and
Mount Washington. It was a bit nippy. I have this
beautiful lady from the Ukraine. She lasted six seconds out.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Of the car. Yeah, Ukraine's not like Jamaica. The Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I mean it's like I thought, you like walked in
barefoot to fight Stalin. Right, I know you couldn't take
a breeze about Washington. Get in the car, take the picture,
Get in the car right. Yeah, Oh man, that's all.
That's a nice little tour on a on a Wednesday night.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
No, they were happy. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Then and then you know, my girlfriends like you are
the best tour guide for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Well you what you do is you go to the
place that you won't go to, a place you'll find
in a brochure. You take them to the real Pittsburgh,
right like you took them to East Ohio Street for
crying out loud, you know, north Side. You know, like, yeah,
that's a great place. It's awesome. It's just not where
people were like, oh, you're in from the Ukraine. Let
me take you down, you know.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Because I mean my naturistic is to go to the
South Side, but not on a Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Well anymore, you mentioned the Strip and I was there
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Me like, I think I had my first I think
I'm so old now.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I had my first old man lunch with two of
my buddies where we had like that we were sitting
around and like you know, we had lunch and then
ordered more beers and just sat there drinking and I'm like, guys,
we're really close to this just being coffee and us
bitching about the world, you know, and like we this
is gonna get moved to a Panera pretty soon.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
We don't watch it.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
But we're sitting there talking about what makes the strip
great and why we love the strip, and how it's
inconceivable to me that that is not the place that
everybody wants to go all the time, you know, the
fact that it closes down kind of.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You know, except for the terminal.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Terminal stays open, but like the other stuff, because it's
an open market, I get it. But like to me,
when you have friends in from out of town to
not make a point of And then we're getting up
at eight o'clock and we're going down to the strip
and we're getting coffee, and we're gonna get some piscatti
and we're gonna you know, walk around, and we're gonna
shop for you know, dinner, and then we're gonna get
(10:33):
lunch after that, and we're gonna have a couple of beers.
And it's so fun down there, and the food, like
the shopping down there is so unique. It really is
one of the coolest places in the country to hang out.
You are absolutely right, because I took my girlfriend there
her first time here, and we spent like five hours
yet there, I mean last day, and I went in
(10:56):
every shop.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Oh yeah, they're all cool. Nicknack store, the kitchen store,
this spice store.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Like if I coffee, I buy stuff there.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I'm like, I walk home and I have like four
pounds of coffee, a bunch of roasted peanuts that I'll
get from Presco George. You're like every every place you're
going to get one thing. You know, right, it's awesome.
But if it was like a strip mall or a mall,
I wouldn't go to any of those stores. I walk
to the Apple Store, I leave. Yeah, it's like that's it.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
But there you go around and plus just the whole
fact that like, oh you want a stealer sweater or
a penguin hat, well that's where we're going, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And you know, and you can't beat pen Mac. That's
just the best.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Pen Mac is one of the best places we over Thanksgiving.
I was in charge of doing a like the Wednesday
night dinner and we had like twenty people and I'm like,
I'm not sure if I have enough food. So got
frozen lasagnas from pen Mac as an emergent and I go.
I got emergency lasagnas. My ex wife used to bring.
(11:57):
That place is when I would go to eat emergency.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Yeah, just in case, like hey there's not enough food here,
Like let's have a lasagna homemade.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
She'd have one like in the car or in a
cooler or something, or just like always.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Heavy, bring it in. You just bring a lazaangnia wherever
you went.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Yeah, I love that Italian. No, but I you know,
she she learned how to make Italian. She converted.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, yeah, I'm Italian, and I'm always like somebody's gonna
blow it, I'll bring something.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yes, I never think of you as Italian. I know
that you're Italian, but you don't wear your Italian. It's
in your attitude, in your It's in your gumption.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Nervous cleaning, making too much food. It's just embedded in her.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Warmth feels Italian though I always feel her warm abby. Yeah,
that's the I mean, no one wears it like I do,
because you literally wear it. You have a So you
need to talk.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
About this yet.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Joe Bartnick sent me the mock up for a pizza
box that he's going to be on.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Now.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I've always said you're the Italian mascot of Pittsburgh, but
now this is really taking it to a new level.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Yes, Danny's, and I'm not here the plug there's I
don't care.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I know. I'm just saying it is a legendary place.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Yes, I'm just I hate to think, you know, because
they're so good to me that they just surprised me
one day and they go, here's what we're doing, and
they put him me on a pizza box. McAfee's a
big fan of that place too, so so he's a
Rudies guy. Actually, I think is it Rudy's or Danny's.
Always get those two confused. Well, you know, I think
I tell you out school. He sends Dennis Miller the Hogies. Wow,
(13:39):
oh okay, yeah, that makes sense yeah to me. But
Dennis Miller's not on the box.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You're on the box yet, it's.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Coming out, okay, when I know, my Holly, do say
anything until the check clears. I know we're going to
get that bump though. We're making it. We're making that happen,
all right. So when is it supposed to be? Uh?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
When you order a pizza from Dandy's, it will be
Joe Bartnick on the box.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I think March or April. Oh dude, I can't wait
on the guy. The picture is perfect too.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It's such a perfect Joe Bartnick like celebratory pose.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, it would be great. I mean, you know your
pops would have absolutely loved it. Oh my god, Oh yeah,
oh absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Yeah, that has to feel kind of good. What does
Anne think about what your mom think about? You know,
my mom is like, you know, just don't eat too much.
I was getting this picture of your mom knocking food
out of your hands all the time because she's very
worried about your you know, a propensity to over stimulate.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
I had an extra slice of pizza on my birthday
just I was left. My mom looked at my girlfriend
and goes, we'll have the cake tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That's awesome. That's so hilarious.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
We'll have the cake tomorrow. Somebody, somebody's ruined the cake.
We won't say who.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
He won't enjoy it. Yeah, that's tomorrow. That's what's so
funny about my mother.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
She's an inverse because it's like she's Italian, so she
wants to feed everybody, but then she has to watch
what I eat.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
She she's she's Mama bearing you through all of this.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
It is a caring thing that she's doing because it's
not as if you know, this isn't out of nowhere.
She's concerned for your health, right issues, Oh every.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I have a million health issues.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
But here's literally but I don't want to paint and
and some like you know, because there are those moms
who are like, I don't want you to have an
ounce of fat on you, like they want their kids

And that gives you a little snapshot of what things
are like in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins right now
(21:13):
are the first wild card. The Canadians are the third
team on the outside looking in, and those two are
separated by two points.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Pens up some.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Games in hand on most everybody, but it's tight and
the points are precious, and I am still shaking my
head over how they found the way to lose that
Anaheim game.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Yeah, we talked about it a couple says Ago. I
literally whenever seventeen seconds left, the people were already like
it's done.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
They go.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Stranger things have happened game wide at home. They almost
blew the same exact scenario. They got a power play
because they they tackled our empty net guy boom, Oh,
let's just come down the ice and make Jory pull
one out.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Of his have a hat to save it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I was gonna text you, and then I thought better
of it because I know you don't like texts during
the game, Jinxes.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yes, and you know what, And I did text one
person Okay, there he go. It's your fault. That's the
way I.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Thought of it immediately. But it wasn't even about this
game in particular. It was me and Andy working out
when we're gonna do puck off.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Well, shame on you, Joe Bartnick, that one's on you,
I know, And shame on Dann News.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
What are Carlson and Latang doing out there together at
that juncture?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
That is just Yeah, you gotta be smarter than that.
Isn't it funny that you'd rather see Graves out there
than the tang.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Well try to protect the lead. Yeah, I mean the
tang is gonna blow this season.
Speaker 8 (22:38):
If I need a goal, then maybe I think of
it differently. But that's that's the first time I think
that music looked like a first year guy that you
wonder if he's up to this.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Yeah, but to this point, I have no reason to
believe that he doesn't just chalk that up to.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
A learning experience and not do it again. You know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
It's like, if this becomes a repeat a Fender situation
where he is his head is in the clouds a
little bit in situational hockey, then that's different.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
For now. You chalk it up to like inexperience, and
all right, learn from it and move on.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Although they are starting to blow leads with regularity, not
necessarily in that fashion, but they're letting games get away.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
They are for the most part.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
They've been playing responsible, sounds, structured hockey.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Why are they not finishing?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
I thought the bigger coaching mistake is when he had
mant that out on the four on three. I thought,
you gotta get a guy that's gonna move the puck.
You know, I would have had Novak out there. I
would have had the tang out there for that. That's
a better spot for him than holding a lead.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Need a goal then yeah, we shall see Pens in
the Canadians tonight down at the Rink. Thursday Night football
Tonight the Falcons at the Buccaneers. Atlanta's four nine. Tampa
is seven and six in the NFL. Doing some schedule
flexing yesterday, the Ravens are going to play the Packers.
That's their second to last opponent in the regular season.
(23:58):
They're now going to play on Saturday, December the twenty seventh,
at eight pm. So Baltimore is going to have a
short week after visiting New England on December the twenty first,
and then extra rest before playing the Steelers whenever they
get around to announcing when the regular season finale will
be played. Right now, we just know what weekend it's
(24:18):
going to be on. But you know, gain a little,
lose a little in terms of being on the same
rest and the same schedule and the same routine. University
of Michigan's looking for a new football coach. Searn Moore
reportedly in custy in the Washington County jail last night
(24:41):
as the suspect in an alleged assault. This all occurred
just hours after Moore was fired for what the university
categorized as quote inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
So, I mean, this was everywhere.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
This was unavoidable yesterday, and there are tragic circumstances to it,
no doubt about it. But like the fact that it
went from oh man, what a scandal in a few
hours too, and now he's been arrested for breaking into
the staffers home, threatening her life, in his life, It's
like this just went up a few notches and it
(25:16):
is wild for the University of Michigan to once again
be embroiled in a controverty not even it's not a
contra there's nothing controversial about it. That is to say, like,
this is scandalous on a level that a lot of
times it takes many many years to recover from, and
nobody ever forgets.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
You gotta be the Ohio state to get away with that,
that's right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, you want to do that. You gotta beat the Buckeyes. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:46):
The funny part is there's a time when everything you
just said was true, and I don't believe it is
any longer, I think they wind up with Caitlin the
boor from Alabama.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
They just sweeped us under the rug and it was
the probably better off. We'll see. Would you leave Alabama
if you get fired? Yeah, I guess for Michigan. Yeah,
you're asking me.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Yeah, no, but that's I'm not the guy to ask
about whether the Michigan job is attractive.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
I would because kids in Michigan, you only got to
be one team. Now, Oregon's good, okay, and you get
Southern Southern Califorini Southern cas going to be a monster
all the percentage with only a couple of teams in
the conference. The three teams that can they can obviously
be every year. Yeah, Indiana okay, Well, Jacob's pissed. No,
(26:35):
but I mean that's I mean, let's wait for five years.
Let's see if Signette's still doing it. I mean, I'm
talking about programs that you by then Pat Fitzgerald will
have MSU humming like an SEC machine. Sure, sure, yeah,
I know one thing though, it's not the SCC where
like you know, you don't get four layups every year.
There's no layups in the SEC. Yeah, I don't know
(26:58):
about that, Well, well you go, I mean who I mean,
Miss Mississippi, like Auto can turn it around in a heartbeat.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Ole miss turned it around in two years, like these
things happened about next year.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Well they're screwed. But that's what I'm saying. But so
is Michigan.
Speaker 8 (27:12):
I just think the gap between the SEC and everybody
else has narrowed considerably now that everybody's paying their players.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
At the top. But not it.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
I mean I don't want to. I mean Florida was
whatever five and four and five. They bear the Rutgers.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
You know, I don't know. You can get your ass
kicked in North Jersey in November. No, not not on
the street corners.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
I mean no, that's it's perception.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I mean.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
I said, you know five years ago. Absolutely, I think
it's I think it's changing. And also if he comes
to morn Nick Saban, you know, Alabama used to rule
the world with an iron.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Fist, right, but Georgia is still Georgia. I mean there's
some I don't know.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
I think you go to Michigan, you don't break it
entering your last ten for your last ten years. You
go to Alabama and you lose two iron Bowls and
you're playing and you're coaching that you know, Southwest Mississippi steam.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
It is funny though.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
People were talking about the fact that like Saban was
the master. Saban was the master at paying guys like
in the back door, you know what I mean. And
now they're all getting paid in the front door. So
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
But John Wooden, Saint Jesus John Wooden, they paid players.
Everybody plays players. What it did was Joe Peturner look at.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Him, Well you can't anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
He took the statue down. You can't look at him.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Due Kde falls at Boise State eighty six to sixty four.
Dukes are six and four on the season. That's sports,
all right.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Abby's got your news Top of the Hour, a multi

of do they know it's Christmas?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Right?
Speaker 11 (31:11):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Keep putting it in your head every single every single time?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
So I called it up and played it. Do you
know they redid the song because this is the remake.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I don't remember this.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Let's say.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
This is from twenty fourteen. Why did they redo it?
That would be like redoing We Are the World.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's Alicia. Alicia?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Wait, who is that? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
They're all the UK artists, never gonna know. I mean
the original, this is the original one.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Give me that one? Yeah, that in the one I
thought I was playing here my apologist. I don't I
don't want think. It starts with I don't give me.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The old man of Panera either, but give me the
old one.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
We'll join us for Feedbburg next Friday night, December nineteenth

will be had by all. And you can see Abby's band,
Tiny Wars, Tiny Wars Crush It Killed and it's so cool,
kill It kick ass.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
That's weird how they added that little dance beat to
the bottom of that song. Yeah, they do that the
hockey games. Now have you noticed that mic where there'll
be like a metal song, but they'll add some hip
hop elements to it. To everyone together, it's like it's
just garbage. It's like the kid Rock do this.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
You play one or the other, Yeah, and then maybe
switch them up as you go.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Steelers have the Dolphins on Monday night, but the division
has a big game for the AFC North, the Ravens
and the Bengals in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
And Joe burrow Man, I don't know. He's not in
a good place.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Check out this press conference, this answer he gives yesterday
when he's asked about, you know, coming back from injury,
and his demeanor is not great, and then he starts
talking about not having fun changed the way that you
threw the game.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
No, it certainly doesn't change my desire to win. You know,
if I want to, if I want to keep doing this,
I have to have fun doing it.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (33:15):
You know, I've been through a lot, and if it's
not fun, then what am I doing it for?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Oh? That's the money I'm trying to.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
It's difficult to have fun given the season, what you've
been through, physically, emotionally, all of it.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
Is it tough? Certainly?
Speaker 8 (33:38):
Did you have fun playing with you?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
I mean, how much of it was fun before?
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Wins always fun?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
But in general was it fun before you got hurt?
Did you view it that way?
Speaker 11 (33:49):
I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say I have viewed it
that way. I think what was the changing point? Changing point?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 11 (33:59):
I'm not sure there is.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
The losing throwing the pick six that lost the games.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
To a moment or time. It's just a reflection, reflection
on a lot of things that I've done and been through.
Speaker 11 (34:13):
In my career.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
I think I've been through more than most and it's
certainly not easy on the brain or the body.
Speaker 11 (34:23):
So it's trying of if I'm doing it again.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
You talked if you seem like something on the mind.
Maybe I'm written too much into it, but it seemed frustrated.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
There's a lot of things going on right now. A
lot of things going on right now, all related personally,
all the both.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Somebody's girlfriend broke up with them because she wasn't impressed
that he bought the batmobile.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
It didn't work. Are you having fun with the batmobile? No?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
No? And what's the point of having the batmobile if
I can't enjoy it? It turns out I'm not allowed
to go self crimes. I thought I was allowed to
go solve crimes.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
That was weird. That was exceptionally weird.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Put yourself in the place of a Bengals fan watching
and listen to that his body language. Like watching it
gives you an even better perspective on how weird it
is because his demeanor is defeated.
Speaker 8 (35:19):
He's always been a little goofy, but kind of in
an eccentric way, not a negative.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
He he looks clinically depressed.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Yeah, and he introduces the element of I might not
continue to play. Yes, if I'm going to continue, is
there some doubt You're still a young guy?
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Like what's going on?
Speaker 4 (35:35):
But I think he came up with a new Bengals
slogan for a twenty twenty six season. If it isn't fun,
what are we doing this for Bengals football?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Rumble in the jungle? That was odd, very very odd.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
If your franchise quarterback is talking like that, there is
trouble a foot mic, no question.
Speaker 8 (35:55):
And that might mean from a teammate. And I'm here
and that I'm not as fired up to go play
raivements as I might have been.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Right, I'm I'm a little pissed that I didn't see
that until after I already wrote the three and out
segments today because I kind of like Burrow on Sunday.
I actually thought they were gonna win this one, And
now I wonder if I had it wrong all along,
because that doesn't sound like a guy who's ready to
you know, brave heart them into battle.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
It does not sounds like a guy who's ready to
just go.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
R run away. Abby's got your news coming up next,
we'll talk about.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
The makeover to the AMC Waterfront, and we do have
some stressful said news here about Andy Dick, who is
in the news for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Our buddy Rick c Back will be live in studio
with us promoting his new Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh.
Episode four is out uh on QED tonight and he
excuse to hang out with Rick, Plus Missy Matthews talks Steelers,
Guy Junker and more.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Coming up, It's.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
Time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought to
you by iron Workers Local Union number three. Don't go
to the office if they build it and Steelers Pro
Shop get it direct from the team at shop dot
Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
With the Steeersman.
Speaker 12 (37:08):
On Sunday in Baltimore, they took control of the Ancy
North Division.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Now.
Speaker 12 (37:11):
The first step and keeping it in their control and
ultimately winning it is beating the Miami Dolphins on Monday
Night football. If Mike thomlins track record on Monday Night
is any indication, that shouldn't be a problem for the Steelers.
Coach Mike Tomlin has a twenty one and three record
on Monday Night Football, and the Steelers in general have
won twenty two straight home games on Monday Night. That
being said, making it twenty three straight won't be as
easy as it may have seemed a couple of months
(37:32):
ago when Miami was one and six, but they've gone
five to one since then, including winning four straight games.
Over that four game streak, the Dolphins defense has given
up just thirteen point three points per game, the best
in the league during that stretch. Also contributing to Miami's
late season surge is a powerful running attack on offense
led by Starbuck Devin ah chan A. Chane is the
(37:53):
NFL's third leading rusher with one and twenty six yards,
and he's extremely explosive, as he leads all backs in
yards per carry five point eight yards per touch. During
their four game winning streak, the Dolphins have rushed for
an average of one hundred and ninety two point twenty
five yards and are coming off a two hundred and
thirty nine yard rushing performance against the Jets in their
win On Sunday, I'm Tom Opprimand with the Steelers Report.
