Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eat human.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You can take in whatever the hell you want into
a movie theater. Nobody is stopping you. Like you can
take so much, but you can take a Rudi's or
a Danny's HOGI in there if you want it.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Sure, but you know it's like you know, you want
to be able to buy your data popcorn.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I actually think movie popcorn is disgusting. I'm not a
huge fan. It always makes me sick.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
After all, it's cold, it's cold, and that fake butter
is on it. I want it when I go or
I think I don't want it, and then as soon
as i'm sitting, I'm like, ah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Always stuck eating all of it because whoever I go
with is like they'll have three bites and then.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I can't resist popcorn.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I know, it's like indion ring, everyone's idnon rings, but
then I have to eat the last nine.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
You have to, no wonder your mom makes you stop eating? Well,
I don't waste food, Yeah right, well that's yeah. My
grandmother used to say, if you waste food, you're gonna
lick it off the devil's tail.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What. Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to hell if.
Speaker 2 (00:56):

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Joe Barney alive in studio with us this morning. And
you are, by the way, going to be performing at
matt Light's Ugly Christmas Sweater Party two shows, seven and
after that. Yeah, and that's at the City Winery on Saturday, Yes, sir,
this Saturday, not next Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
This Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And it's the winery that's in the strip, Okay, the
City Winery.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
The City Winery is the terminal.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, not the original pitt but the original winery right
Avenue one.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right, it's not the local one. Correct.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I've been so confused on this thirty times since it's
the one in the strip. It's the one we're performing at.
They're both in the strip. They're both in the strip.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Remember, because you went to the wrong one for our college,
Lardsville is considered the strip.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You were in Lawrenceville. You were on like it's like
twenty seventh Street. The DV one was oh that okay,
I don't know. It was like a twenty minute walk.
That was like three months ago.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You had to walk a mile and a half. Yeah
I did. Yeah, I'm in shape. You're doing great.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know, we couldn't be happier than to be joined
at this time of the year. But then none other
than Rick Cya back here this morning, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Honored to be here.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm jittering from too much caffeine this morning, and I'm
just gonna keep ramming it down my throat because I
know you brought some delicious stuff that I'm gonna want
to have with coffee. Because tonight's WQED episode four of
Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh is all about.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
It's all about chocolates and chocolate shops around Pittsburgh, which
I was not aware of as a phenomenon.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That we have a lot of chocolate.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, we have a lot of chocolate chops. I mean
the thing is, well, we both grew up in beth
A Park. Yes there's not a chocolate chop. I don't
think in belf Of Park. I mean I have no
like childhood memories of going to the chocolate chop bakery. Yes, yes,
Hertman's and Bethel Bakery. But and pizza shops. You know,
you develop a you know, an affinity for that. And
(03:09):
but kids who grow up in a place where there's
a chocolate shop. They have that same connection, so I do.
From where I grew up too, same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
There was two Greek chocolate chops and two Italian ones,
and we mentioned one Romelos no Placos Placos, yeah, Placos is, yes,
that was when I was a kid. Polaccos was the
one they was. And then they made us eat sponge candy.
Sponge candy is a you know, that is a for
(03:38):
some reason, I have never been in a family event
anywhere in the country that didn't include sponge candy from
erie and and and anytime I give it to people,
it's basically whipped sugar in the middle of a chocolate
like rectangle and then when you bite into it, it's
like crunches like and it's like crunchy sponge.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's a phenomenal. They're awesome. But and you can kind
of like suck the sponge out of the chocolate if
you want. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, my cameraman Frank Calliero and I did it like
a test drive up Root eight because we've done Rude
eighty eight, which you mentioned the and it's it's point
marian is at the end, and we decided let's see
about route eight which I didn't realize starts a channel
four WTA and goes to Eerie and it's a really
(04:30):
great drive and everything.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
We actually did a seople who ride motorcycles up and down.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
That's usually a way they'll go right, and we stopped
at a We did a story about stone Quarry up there,
Redu's Stone earlier this year. But when we got to
the end and you see the sign that says end eight,
I said, we got to find something like Apple Annie's,
which we found at the end of Rude eighty eight
and we're just looking around and I said, look, I
think that's a chocolate shop, Glacos Blackos, and they.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Were so nice to us and everything. So it's just
to mention in. I tried to do like a pine
Avenue was up there? Is that where that is rooted?
Sounds right, yeah, so that's the original one. They used
to have chocolate covered strawberries before I knew that that
was the thing anywhere else, and there was this like
race to eat the chocolate covered strawberries. When I was
a kid. We'd only get them at Easter because my
dadould be like, those are.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
For rich people. We're only getting those at Easter.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, and you had to eat them in like a
day or they went bad, which was never a problem.
But Pittsburgh's chocolate. Let's get back to that because to me, look,
I don't leave the airport without a box of Sarah's
chocolate pretzels.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Okay, well, you know it was Easter time this year
that I saw this thing online. I think it's wallet Hub.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is this place that just top ten lists, like you
know USA Today does them too, but wallet Hub does them.
And it was ten best places or many more than
ten best places to celebrate Easter in America.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And this isn't the show, I say. And Pittsburgh was number.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Two because we have such a high per capita percentage
of churches, yes, and chocolate chops.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Church in a bar that's kind of like all of
Western Pa, right, church in a bar on every corner.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And the chocolate shop apparently a chocolate chop. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
So uh and that's what's gotten started. And truly the
first I mean I think the first day I'm thinking
about it. There's Dennis as an engineer at Qued and
he always stops and talks to me in the edit room.
He goes, what are you doing? And I said, I
think I'm going to do a show on chocolate shops.
He goes, well, then you're going to go to the
Pink House in Finleyville. And I said, I don't know
the Pink House in Finleyville. He said, yeah, well you
(06:35):
got to have it on the list. And I said, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And then my see, if Rick tells me, let's go
to the Pink House in Finleyville, I assume we're getting chocolate.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
If Bartnick tells me that, I tell him I don't
want to go there. I don't. Yeah, don't tell your girlfriend. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Well, and the woman who cuts my hair said, if
you're doing chocolate chops, you got to go to Joe
Clark's Chocolate's and Duranum.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, so you're just come all of these chocolate tears
areas and I.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
And I think, well, the one I usually go to
is Dorothy's and White Oak because when I was in
the hospital, they came and brought me a lot of chocolates.
And every year my sister expects me to bring a
box of Seesial.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Carmel's when I go to visit in North Carolina, you know,
and I always go to Dorothy's and get that so
I didn't realize there were so many neighborhood associated chocolate
shops in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
And then and then Frank, my cameraman, his wife Amy
is from Baden, and he said, you know Amy's family
goes to Anderson's all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
We gonna go to Anderson's too, So those are Matt Anderson's. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And then I had two stories from old shows. Betsy
Ann was in my show Things We've Made in two
thousand and two or in two thousand and three. But
I said it's worth repeating, and I called them then
still family, the same family owns it and everything. And
then also Yetter's in Millville, which is the smallest of them,
but they still make candies in the back.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So on like the skow of these places, what is
like the biggest to smallest.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, the biggest is Sarah's. They're in every giant Eagle, and.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Of the ones that we visited, I, you know, it's
hard to know because I don't I didn't see the
factory in one of them. And like at Anderson's, they
have a beautiful big store and then a giant factory
behind and you just find out about and they all
have what they call the I Love Lucy line, you know,
where the chocolates come through and they have to try to.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Get them into the box and they're going too fast.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Every single place mentions I Love Lucy. So I had
a little research on that too. It's a nineteen fifty
two episode, the first episode of season two.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh, it was that early in the round.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I mean, that's the iconic scene of her trying to
finagle all of the chocolates into the box while the.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Conveyor belt is going too quick.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So I couldn't figure out how to deal with the
rights of, you know, using that Lucy clips. So we
just show one still and I say it's on YouTube. Yeah,
and this pair, I bet her state would have been
okay with it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I'm not even kidding there. They're they're so ubiquitous. But
you still got to deal with the rights and all
of that. So did you.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Tackle the reason for or is there just some sort
of connection between why in Pittsburgh all of these communities
as opposed to other Rust Belt cities have chocolate factories
in every neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Maybe we just have good taste. No, I did not
tackle the why.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I don't know, because that's a unique part of Someone
along the line said, part of it may just be
Pennsylvania's location and how we are we can access any
part of the country.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I mean Hershey's. I thought you were going to say Hershey's.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah. I didn't go there with this show because this
is local. But you know, it's the little ones that
you want to go to. And I says to me,
it was amazing how happy the employees seem.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, exactly, that's certainly the key.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
There's this movie you should watch, There's no Opas right.
Did you learn any tricks on how to make sure
you get a good one in the box?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Oh? To identify?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, they always have those maps on the on the
bigger ones, you know, like when you open it, it'll
give you a map of what is in the box.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You think I could read that fine print.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I know some people have things they don't want to eat,
Like my sister never wants a nut.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Okay, she's not allergic, she just doesn't want a nut.
But I'll eat anything, and so I love Like there's
a place out on the Stupenville Pike called Andy's Candies,
and when you walk in, they have always have a
thing They're of goofs, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The screw ups.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah, and I love that you don't know what you're
gonna get, and there's a whole bunch of different ones.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, you can cover anything in chocolate, Yeah, clearly. But
so I would imagine that all of these different chocolate
chops have something that they consider sort of like their
signature that separates them from other places. Right, yeah they do,
but I you know, we only we all the only
(11:16):
ones who do this, right maybe not?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, they think they are.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
And then you're like, no, I remember if Pink House
said they they're the only place around that does chocolate
covered twinkies. Oh that's interesting, and you know, but I
think all of them know that there's all those possibilities
out there. And actually I've had in the last couple
of weeks, I've had things out they're like, you know,
if this were covered in chocolate, I'd like it even more.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, how much chocolate did you eat doing this? Not
too much? Yeah? Did anything? Read is too decadent for you? No?
It does not? Know the media the phrase two decadents
now so too much fun.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
And actually we were at Dorothy's the Monday before Thanksgiving
and I don't know if Nan Cohen does a lot
of radio around town, and she and Marlene Druskin for
ten years they've been doing i say, influencer style videos
every week from Dorothy's talking about the different candies you
(12:20):
can get and all that. And so they put on
like a nice little show for us, and we you know,
we not only got their video, but we also had
Frank doing a wide shot so you can see how
it is with Marlene holding her phone up and you know,
recording it. But in the process of that, I had
a chocolate covered potato chip which I thought about and
(12:42):
I think it was the first time I thought this
is so great. So that's what I brought for you guys,
this storninge and I stopped in your kitchen here and
opened it up so.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
That you know I didn't have one, but I will
have one now and I'll pass it to Randy.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
They're incredible chocolate cover potato chips. Yes, this is a miracle.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I got a double one.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Unless you just left them in your car A ruffles.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That's from Andy's Candies. No, that's from Dorothy's. It's very odd.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I can't remember if I came in and talked about
the Chicken Blast, the Serbian Chicken and Weird.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, don't urban. Because I did a show called Meet
Pittsburgh several years ago. I've been getting my turkey fresh
from Pounds Turkey Farm out in Leechburg, Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And so I would expect that from you.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I went to Thanksgiving dinner and you didn't, like have
it from some little like you know, bespoke situation, I
would be disappointed.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I went and got turkey at Pounds Turkey Farm. And
I usually have Thanksgiving at Chris Fenimore's house and I
bring the turkey, but he cooks it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So I have the turkey. No, it's not a special.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And uh, I'm there at my house and I get
a call and it's uh George a Teslo from Weird
and he goes Rick you know the Men's club here.
We do our turkeys over the fire like we did
the chickens, and we have one opening. Do you want it?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No way?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
And I said yes, So I called Chris vanen Wiseai,
do you mind if someone else the turkey goes?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Not at all? You do it?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So they they they would like put those turkeys on
a spit yep like they do with all those chickens.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, not as close as the chickens because they keep
careful records of who brings which turkey.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So you have to bring a foud or in my case,
a fresh turkey. You supply the turkey, You.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Bring the turkey, a pound of butter and an aluminium
pin pan, and they put the aluminum pans under the
turkeys to catch the drippings and then they also use
that just pea and over and base holy and so
you have to take the turkey on Wednesday and then
pick it up before noon on Thursday. And it's not
something that they're looking for people to do it. They
had one opening.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah right, it's not like please, So I think they
did fifty six or fifty seven turkeys.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
My fifteen pounder was one of the smallest. How good
was it? It was excellent? Was it?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
It had that same smokey wonderful you know, just salt
and pepper. Wow, really really great.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It makes you wonder why we all don't take yeah,
whitel pikes and put birds on them and roast them
for hours at the time exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
My brother in law smoked the turkey this year. It
was delicious. Yeah, I don't get into the deep fried turkey.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
So much of the smoke turkeys because I think it
like takes away from the town. I like just a
regular turkey. Well, yeah, this is probably closer to you know,
your oven. It's not smoked so much as over an
open fire.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
But it had to be the like the moistest.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Turkey you ever had, right, and you know, and all
the strings that they have to put on it to
keep all of them, you know, appendages in control and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So okay, so that was excellent as well.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh that's tonight on WQD. Tonight
on WQD at eight o'clock. And uh, it's the fourth episode,
and Lucky to Live in Pittsburg the first one with
a subtitle, which is a few luscious local chocolate chops.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
How many total did you visit? Well, we did.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
We do it like a little montage where we just
stopped and got exteriors and that was fun as well.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, you know there's.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Two in New Kensington, Velos and Chloris. And you know
I keep a Mela in the strip and Chocolate Moose
in Squirrel Hill.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I got a when I went out with my turkey.
That's on the old Stubenville Pike. That's where Andy's Candies is.
So I got a shot there, and uh, you know,
the stores are everywhere. Actually, I went up to Saxonburg
and then the little grocery store in Saxonburg. There's two
two displays one from.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Oh in Butler Fuguers Flugers like pl yeah and speckled
hen I think is the other one that's there in Saxonberg.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
So they're all over the place right, Well, that's sennight
On WQD.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Let me tell you why, you know, I think that
your work is invaluable because this, to me, my favorite
part of it all is that you get to see
the people. Like the surrounding parts are great, but it's
about hearing the people talk about these places. I don't
have to care about the places or the products so much.
I get so much out of listening to the people
that you interview and the way that they sort of
(17:27):
just are so prideful of what they're doing and how
they are so glad to share the story of the
history of these places. And it makes living here such
some more like it's such a richer experience. Thank you
for watching and getting to experience all these things that
you go and do. Even though I'm not going to
(17:49):
these places, I like knowing they're around me.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I totally agree with you, and I'm honored that you
would perceive that because I said, I think to Frank
when we watched the finished you know show, to say,
is it okay?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Done with it? You know? I say, I just love
the people. Yeah, you know the guy who's worked for
forty eight years.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You know, in the candy shop, starting as an apprentice
to mister Anderson up in Baden in forty eight years.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's a long time, in the forty eight Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
But they open up to you like people open up
to cab drivers. Like they open up to you in
a way where they feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Telling you everything. Like that's the good thing.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Is that That's what I appreciate, is that you have
earned the respect and their trust, and so you get
this authentic portrayal of Western Pennsylvanians and documenting that stuff
is priceless.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Cool, all right, I don't want my head to explode.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Tonight eight pm on WQD check it out, Rick, It's
always a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Thanks for bringing all this chocolate. Hey, I've sat their
stuff too, so oh yeah, yeah you got booze. I do.
Come on, Abby has said so many nice things. Yeah,
I know it get us drunk on entery. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I was up at Bottle Rocket the other night. They
showed Happy Holidays and pits.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Oh that's so fun.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Kathy Neederberger made egg nog and she said, hey, last
year you took it to d V, so this is
for DV. D Oh no way. She made like yeah,
because she said, you know, you guys appreciated it and
that's all that it takes.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And then these are now available at w q e D.
It does look like a shoe box. It does actually
has a video tape box and Maxell's.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
We had to have something to put them in, so
I brought you all. I mean, I brought one for
Jacob and one for Mike.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's even one for you, and.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I mean and actually, if I have another second, i'll
tell you. When I turned on the show, I guess
was when you came on to you were talking about
Danny's and uh yeah, when I was in high school,
I got to be a fo An exchange student to
Brazil And.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Dude, why doesn't that supprisibent at all? This is like,
of course you did, go ahead, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So I went through a program called International Fellowship out
of Buffalo and they had a meeting here in Pittsburgh
at Taylor Alderdeys High School and there, I guess I
sat next her. I don't know why I made a
friend Karen Cranick from mun Hall or Ducuane, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I don't remember exactly where she was from.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
And so that was like we were there and I'm
gonna say, there's thirty kids from this area who were
going to Brazil that summer, and twenty four were going
to Saint Paulo and six of us were going to Rio.
And you know, when you're in high school, I thought like, oh,
everybody's going to Sound Paulo. I'm going to Rio, not
knowing that I just hit the jack and Karen was
(20:53):
also going to Rio.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So we were a part of the small group of
six going to Rio, and so we had it off.
We saw other again on the plane going down there
and everything. And I get there. I have a wonderful family,
two brothers. They do in Kiko, and they showed me
around Rio and I don't know if you know this, I
mean where Ipanima and Copa Cabana, the two beautiful beaches
(21:18):
on the bay. Of course, where they meet there's a
giant pile of rocks, so they're really separate beaches.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
It's not like one big beach. And they on that
pile of rocks and doing Keiko said, we're going to
climb up the top. Okay, So we climb up to
the top, and when we get up there, Karen Kranick's
there with her two Brazilian sister and it was totally unexpected.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And of course her Brazilian sisters and my Brazilian brothers
are we don't know any Portuguese yet and trying to
figure us out.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And so I'm standing there with Karen and she said,
now we're You're from Bathel Park, aren't you. I said yeah,
And she goes, do you live near Danny's. I said,
you can almost see Danny's from my house. Yeah. She goes, oh,
that's my favorite place to go. You know, when we're
hanging out and we just want to go somewhere, I
want to go to Danny's. I always remember that. Here
(22:13):
we are in Rio between even Yoba Cabana, and what.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Are we talking about Danny's Hogies, because that's what Pittsburgh is,
always Pittsburgh.

Does that make you feel a little better?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
A little bit, A little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, I don't know what Mike McDaniel is like. All
I know is that dude gets he's so cold. He
looks like like when when the weather, you know, gets frosty.
He looks like Jack Nicholson at the end of the shining.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
He's gonna look like the little kid a Christmas Story.
He's gonna be like waddling around the sideline like the
michelin Man. You know, some coaches don't like to wear
too much cold weather stuff because they want to look tough.
My players that he's like, I'm gonna be warmed the players.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
His players hate him. Tried to signal time out, but
I couldn't remember. They gave him a bunch of guff
for that because he was like in the locker room
at halftime like oh my god, Like he was complaining
and stuff. But they're like, hey man, you got a
tough one up a little bit here. It's like, yeah,
I don't know that that's gonna work for him.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
He should just steer steer into the door skid because
that's Hey, it's working for him lately, they're.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
For I think he's a fun figure in the NFL
to have a character like that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I think he's a good thing. Jackass, but yeah, it's
a good thing. I like it.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
I like my coaches to look like Tom Landry and
Vince Lobardi, although none of them do anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Who's the last guy that wore a suit on the sidelines? Yeah?
He uh, he tried to bring it back and it
didn't last well, he got he got canned.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I thought they find the head coach in for the
Niners for wearing a suit because they're supposed to wear
the logo crap is sponsored by Nike. Oh really, Yeah,
he tried to wear suit because his dad died that
weekend and he wanted to honor him by wearing a
suit because his dad would always wear a suit. No,
I'm I don't have the recall right now.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
But I don't either, Swaye Philips. Still I still love,
isn't it?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Well?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Wade would bumb never wor.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
B didn't wear athletic gear Norimore's jeans and his big belt,
goat harder coat.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, exact, he didn't wear it.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
In the astronom, he wouldn't wear the stats and in
the at Mama told him no, weear hat indoors.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
He is some of the great quotes ever.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Those are good games back then, Dan Pastorini would just
be like.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Two of the better teams in history were the Oilers
of the seventies and the Bills that didn't ever win
a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I used to have the Jim Kelly Bills. I used
to have the Iron nine cheap like mal t shirt
that had the Super Bowl with the Oilers trying to
get open the door with Lambert cartoon Lambert state.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, Chuck Nole and uh and bum or am I
thinking of Glanville, Yes, because Glenville I always thought was
like a disciple of bum but he was actually kind
of a little more used car sales mini.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I think Glenville was a disciple of Chris christoffers.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, I mean just he just out there. He did
a lot of stuff that a lot of people didn't like.
He always have tickets for Elvis, which is great. Yeah,
I mean just the.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Way they played over the edge, that whole house of
pain thing. But hey, it's pro football. Do what you
can get away with. I never understood what was wrong
with that, Like the bounty. Are you supposed to go
hurt somebody on the other team technically they don't like
it when you say it out loud.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yes, inside thoughts, yes, I wanted to kill him. No,
just so I wanted to hit him very hard. You know,
it's the same thing. But oh, pr And.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was mister Buckets's birthday like two days ago, and
the guy, hey, I'm is mister Buckets to me if
you if you want to call him Dick, you go
right ahead.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm calling him mister Buckis. Uh. It was his birthday
recently two.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Days ago, and they a guy on the internet put
his original NFL films piece like the bio on him
that you never see anymore because it's so violent. When
he's sitting here in the office chair and he gets
his favorite movies when the head gets knocked off and
the rolls down the steps.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh yeah, yeah you.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
They'll never show the esp anymore, but they I loved
I said it to everyone I knew, like, this is
the best clip ever.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I remember that. Wait, what movie is that?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's like, anyways, go ahead, I'll figure it out.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Sports Start brought to you by Bridgual Plants Pens in
the Canadians tonight a big game. I suspect head coach
Dan Museby of Joey Beach is a pot cast partner.
Josh Joey of the Athletic defended his decision to play
crys La Tang and Eric Carlson at the end of
what became at debacle against Tampa Bay on Tuesday night,
(29:11):
said MWSE quote, both of those defensemen are out there
on every situation. And Joe, as you mentioned this morning,
Josh pointed out that MWSE pretty much did the same
thing against the Islanders in the home opener, putting the
power play out when there were fifteen seconds left and
there was an offensive zone face off and they almost
(29:34):
got the game tied in.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
He had Gino out there then, Not exactly, mister Selke.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
No, and hey, Carlson and Latang have been better in
terms of being less turnover prone, and you know they've
played more within the structure this year. But as Josh
points out, no Penguin has been responsible for more goals
against than the Tang this season.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
He's gonna cost him the season.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Why is he out there in that situation. Josh also
mentions in his ten Observations quote, it's beyond baffling that
they lost the game to Anaheim, and I'd be concerned
that there could be a psychological impact. This is the
kind of loss that can trigger a losing streak, and
I would agree with that one thousand percent. They got
(30:20):
to play a responsible, structured.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Game tonight, and if they do, they've.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Done that a lot this year, and it's worked out
a lot, and they got to finish it because you know,
finishing's big stuff can get out of hand quickly.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So Penn's in Montreal tonight. It's tough.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
They played so good for forty or fifty nine minutes
and I'm bad at math forty three seconds.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
They're overachieving, right, we all agree on that, but it's
still pretty early in the season. Like sometimes teams overachieve
all year and sometimes they just get off to a
good start.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And then they remember back to what they thought they
were going to be.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
They've played us out of our expectations. Like our expectations
keep going up the way they've been playing. Because I
had zero at the beginning of the year, I'm like, oh, well,
maybe I don't think there's any chance they would be
a playoff And now I'm kind of thinking like and
I think if they are a playoff team at the
end of the day, that would be a pretty good
achievement for this one.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Somebody had a piece about like, tanking never works.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It doesn't when you look at Chicago's barely now a
reasonable team and it took him ten years.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Mm hmm, Well but there's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
But there's a lottery now so that we know there
stays they getting him and there's no one like him anyway, Joe.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
The movie that Dick Buckets was talking about was Hush, Hush,
Sweet Charlotte with Betty Davis, and this is the clip
that you were talking about.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Hit him, lift them up and put him on his back.
I want to just let him know that they've been hit,
and when they get up, they don't have to look
see who.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Is that hit him, and make an attack.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
When you hold that guy's arm, he's got nothing to
absorb to blow with except maybe his head or his shoulder.
And this is what I like to do, punish the man.
One particular movie that stands out in mind. It was
with Puddy Davis. I think it was Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte.
I got kind of a charge when that had come
rolling down the stairs. I kind of like to watch
it and see if things happen, and maybe project those
things happening on a football field. And I think being
(32:16):
mean is a way to get yourself excited. It's almost
like a like being mad. It's like hating the fella.
I make up things. Maybe if he's smiling, I'll make
up a thing, imagine everything that, Hey, this cat's you know,
he's laughing at me. Where the game gets going, I
want to get this guy, embarrass him, intimidate him. When
you see the guy trying to get up and he's
wobbling a little bit, maybe his helmet's you know, turned,
(32:37):
and that's the linebackers to like, you're not going to
end up hurting me. It's going to be you. You're
going to be going to be punished, so you better
get ready.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
Today football football.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You imagine if someone like went out today and said
something like that, Like I like to visualize knocking the
guy's head off and seeing it rolling around on the field.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Violence compels me.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Five thousand dollars fine for every word.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, it's not the same. Abby will have your news

Matthews joining us now from Steelers dot Com, brought to
you by Boris and Bortis fighting for justice this morning
here on DV.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Missy gets a round of applause. Hi, double m how
are you.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
Hey, guys?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I'm great, How are you good? Okay? So a little
bit of everything chocolate.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Chew well, I don't think there's any chocolate covered chew
in Rick Seabeck's chocolate special on QED tonight, but it
appears like chocolate on everything else.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
You wait, are you a are you a Bethel person? Also?
Originally no, you're plum.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
I'm an Oakmont girl.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
What's all right? So what's the Oakmont chocolate? You know?
Speaker 10 (36:24):
I'm like, I don't think I've ever had their chocolate.
I'm as Sarah's chocolate snob.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah, I kind of.
Speaker 10 (36:32):
Yeah, I mean, you just it's good. I don't know
what else to say.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
They figured it out, They really did.
Speaker 10 (36:39):
Yeah, you can buy it a giant eagle. You don't
even have to go to wash Paul right.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
But the the peanut butter melt aways, to me are
those are like those are special occasions because I'll house
like ten of those things in one sitting.
Speaker 10 (36:53):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
But the chocolate pretzels, I've never gone to a family
function and not brought those. And someone else from my
family he's brought the one from here I was telling
you about earlier, the sponge candy. But I always like
it's expected when I get there. My nieces and nephews
like run up to me like, burp up the chocolate pretzels,
let's go get them out. Yeah, I always load up
at the airport, all right, So Steelers loaded up offensively
(37:17):
with a couple of wide receivers a little different. You know,
we always have fun asking you about Roman Wilson's maturation,
but it appears that they have changed horses. How much
do you think having Adam Feeling an MVS in there
changed the potential for this offense.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
I truly believe with Adam Feelin it was you have
to respect him. He just you could just tell he
was re energized. Of course he didn't play a ton
of snaps, but just getting to watch him throughout the week,
I'm sure Trip can attest to, you know, literally jumping
on a moving train. It's not like he's worked with
Aaron before, but being able to go out there and
(38:01):
play a limited number of snaps but also make the
Ravens think okay. I mean obviously throwing a bomb to
DK to start things off made them think again about
stacking the box and realizing, oh wait, I guess they
can throw the ball. They haven't, but they can, and
they just didn't adjust. And I think MVS, that's just
somebody that Aaron is comfortable with, clearly, So I'm interested
(38:25):
to see kind of what the game plan is moving
forward there. You know, there were some passes just in
pregame warmups where you're like, oh, is that going to
happen on that sideline in the game. So anxious to
see if they build on more of that in how
they kind of figure out the whole, you know, numbers
game when it comes to figure out who's active and
who's inactive, because it's not just the wide receiver group,
(38:46):
it's you know, it can be who's D line, whatnot
offensive line, Then you might need an extra So we'll
have to see how that plays out. They practice for
the first time today, actually met.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
See there was a lot going on on the field
Sunday in Baltimore, and a lot going on along the sideline.
Guys getting knocked out of the game, going to the
blue tent, some of them came back in. Metcalf ends
up taking a gunner rep. With everything at stake late
in the fourth quarter, what was the.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Vibe down there?
Speaker 8 (39:15):
Did it feel different because they're they're all in seemed
to be at a level that they had not matched
previously this year?
Speaker 10 (39:25):
Yeah, I mean I felt like, you know, the travel,
the team meals, the buses, the pre game, everything felt
how they normally do. I don't feel like there was
some big change that you know, propelled them to this win,
but they definitely have the energy up throughout the game
for obvious reasons, especially when you get a lead like that.
I think, you know, having the passing game going down
(39:47):
the field energize them. And just the way that guys
were playing. How could you not watch what Patrick Queen
was fighting through and just how he kept going to
not make you want to go out there and play
your best, And it just felt like, you know, Aaron
brings this energy, especially when the offense is on that
(40:07):
is just contagious. I mean, you had Mike Tomlin doing
the discount double check. He did like a double double check,
and I was like dying when it happened because I
was literally right there and Max saw it too, and
like both of us were almost you know, without words
because it just came out of nowhere. But hey, it
was a broken down play, as he had said postgame,
(40:28):
and he made something happen and they all know what
is at stake. Clearly that was a must win. Game
as must win as you can say throughout the regular season.
So and I think doing it in Baltimore it always
feels extra good. But and I think the bad taste
from the guys who were here last year obviously that was,
you know, not what you wanted to happen, but you know,
(40:49):
stopping to runs another story. They still were able to
get the win despite that. But I do think in
terms of, you know, containing Derek Henry, it really wasn't
until the end that they started to give bigger plays him,
and I felt like the Ravens were like, oh, yeah,
this guy's still on our team. He's really big, he's good.
We know what he did against him the last two
times we met. So we'll have to see how this
(41:10):
goes moving forward. I'm glad they have the extra day
with a Monday night game for guys to get healthy,
just being at this point of the season. But yeah,
Monday night at home, I love that.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Minus the weather, yeah, I know, because you're gonna have
to be on the elements. Well, you'll be warmer than
Mike McDaniel, who's like my mom.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
When it comes to cold.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
It gets so cold all the time, Like cover your ankles, bro,
so we know what we have to do defensively against
the Dolphins, and that's stopped and run. What do we
need to do what's going to work best offensively for
the Steelers on Monday night?
Speaker 10 (41:44):
Offensively, I think they do need to run the ball.
I don't think this is a you know, consistent way
that you can win, but I think if it's more
balanced and having teams have to respect the fact that
you're not just gonna run, I think that will be huge.
And you know, Darnell Washington is really the one on
offense that I would really like to know if he's
(42:04):
going to play or not. I'm hoping because of the
extra day, as I said, he can get through concussion protocol,
but you just kind of saw what a difference it
is when he's not in there to really make that whole,
you know, line of scrimmage go in terms of what
the offense wants to do. So hopefully he's back out
there and they can continue to march forward.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Mission.
Speaker 8 (42:26):
Do you go micheline man when it gets real cold
or do you try to tough it out with just
a minimal clothing protection.
Speaker 10 (42:34):
No, I'm not stupid. I'll start, you know, base you
know like I walked to the car. I walked from
my car to the stadium and like bare minimum, and
then I got for my pregame, hit at a layer,
come back out at another layer, and then finally for
game time. I'm like, where's my heated best? Give me
all of the you know, hand warmers, toe warmers, and
(42:56):
I don't care what I look like. I just want
to be warm.
Speaker 2 (42:59):

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Sure, but you know it's like you know, you want
to be able to buy your data popcorn.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I actually think movie popcorn is disgusting. I'm not a
huge fan. It always makes me sick.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
After all, it's cold, it's cold, and that fake butter
is on it. I want it when I go or
I think I don't want it, and then as soon
as i'm sitting, I'm like, ah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Always stuck eating all of it because whoever I go
with is like they'll have three bites and then.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I can't resist popcorn.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I know, it's like indion ring, everyone's idnon rings, but
then I have to eat the last nine.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
You have to, no wonder your mom makes you stop eating? Well,
I don't waste food, Yeah right, well that's yeah. My
grandmother used to say, if you waste food, you're gonna
lick it off the devil's tail.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
What. Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to hell if.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I don't finish these mashed potatoes or a Tom Cruise party.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Joe Barney alive in studio with us this morning. And
you are, by the way, going to be performing at
matt Light's Ugly Christmas Sweater Party two shows, seven and
after that. Yeah, and that's at the City Winery on Saturday, Yes, sir,
this Saturday, not next Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
This Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And it's the winery that's in the strip, Okay, the
City Winery.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
The City Winery is the terminal.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, not the original pitt but the original winery right
Avenue one.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right, it's not the local one. Correct.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I've been so confused on this thirty times since it's
the one in the strip. It's the one we're performing at.
They're both in the strip. They're both in the strip.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Remember, because you went to the wrong one for our college,
Lardsville is considered the strip.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You were in Lawrenceville. You were on like it's like
twenty seventh Street. The DV one was oh that okay,
I don't know. It was like a twenty minute walk.
That was like three months ago.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You had to walk a mile and a half. Yeah
I did. Yeah, I'm in shape. You're doing great.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know, we couldn't be happier than to be joined
at this time of the year. But then none other
than Rick Cya back here this morning, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Honored to be here.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm jittering from too much caffeine this morning, and I'm
just gonna keep ramming it down my throat because I
know you brought some delicious stuff that I'm gonna want
to have with coffee. Because tonight's WQED episode four of
Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh is all about.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
It's all about chocolates and chocolate shops around Pittsburgh, which
I was not aware of as a phenomenon.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That we have a lot of chocolate.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, we have a lot of chocolate chops. I mean
the thing is, well, we both grew up in beth
A Park. Yes there's not a chocolate chop. I don't
think in belf Of Park. I mean I have no
like childhood memories of going to the chocolate chop bakery. Yes, yes,
Hertman's and Bethel Bakery. But and pizza shops. You know,
you develop a you know, an affinity for that. And
(03:09):
but kids who grow up in a place where there's
a chocolate shop. They have that same connection, so I do.
From where I grew up too, same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
There was two Greek chocolate chops and two Italian ones,
and we mentioned one Romelos no Placos Placos, yeah, Placos is, yes,
that was when I was a kid. Polaccos was the
one they was. And then they made us eat sponge candy.
Sponge candy is a you know, that is a for
(03:38):
some reason, I have never been in a family event
anywhere in the country that didn't include sponge candy from
erie and and and anytime I give it to people,
it's basically whipped sugar in the middle of a chocolate
like rectangle and then when you bite into it, it's
like crunches like and it's like crunchy sponge.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That's a phenomenal. They're awesome. But and you can kind
of like suck the sponge out of the chocolate if
you want. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, my cameraman Frank Calliero and I did it like
a test drive up Root eight because we've done Rude
eighty eight, which you mentioned the and it's it's point
marian is at the end, and we decided let's see
about route eight which I didn't realize starts a channel
four WTA and goes to Eerie and it's a really
(04:30):
great drive and everything.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
We actually did a seople who ride motorcycles up and down.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
That's usually a way they'll go right, and we stopped
at a We did a story about stone Quarry up there,
Redu's Stone earlier this year. But when we got to
the end and you see the sign that says end eight,
I said, we got to find something like Apple Annie's,
which we found at the end of Rude eighty eight
and we're just looking around and I said, look, I
think that's a chocolate shop, Glacos Blackos, and they.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Were so nice to us and everything. So it's just
to mention in. I tried to do like a pine
Avenue was up there? Is that where that is rooted?
Sounds right, yeah, so that's the original one. They used
to have chocolate covered strawberries before I knew that that
was the thing anywhere else, and there was this like
race to eat the chocolate covered strawberries. When I was
a kid. We'd only get them at Easter because my
dadould be like, those are.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
For rich people. We're only getting those at Easter.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, and you had to eat them in like a
day or they went bad, which was never a problem.
But Pittsburgh's chocolate. Let's get back to that because to me, look,
I don't leave the airport without a box of Sarah's
chocolate pretzels.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Okay, well, you know it was Easter time this year
that I saw this thing online. I think it's wallet Hub.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is this place that just top ten lists, like you
know USA Today does them too, but wallet Hub does them.
And it was ten best places or many more than
ten best places to celebrate Easter in America.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And this isn't the show, I say. And Pittsburgh was number.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Two because we have such a high per capita percentage
of churches, yes, and chocolate chops.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Church in a bar that's kind of like all of
Western Pa, right, church in a bar on every corner.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And the chocolate shop apparently a chocolate chop. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
So uh and that's what's gotten started. And truly the
first I mean I think the first day I'm thinking
about it. There's Dennis as an engineer at Qued and
he always stops and talks to me in the edit room.
He goes, what are you doing? And I said, I
think I'm going to do a show on chocolate shops.
He goes, well, then you're going to go to the
Pink House in Finleyville. And I said, I don't know
the Pink House in Finleyville. He said, yeah, well you
(06:35):
got to have it on the list. And I said, okay.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And then my see, if Rick tells me, let's go
to the Pink House in Finleyville, I assume we're getting chocolate.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
If Bartnick tells me that, I tell him I don't
want to go there. I don't. Yeah, don't tell your girlfriend. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Well, and the woman who cuts my hair said, if
you're doing chocolate chops, you got to go to Joe
Clark's Chocolate's and Duranum.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, so you're just come all of these chocolate tears
areas and I.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
And I think, well, the one I usually go to
is Dorothy's and White Oak because when I was in
the hospital, they came and brought me a lot of chocolates.
And every year my sister expects me to bring a
box of Seesial.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Carmel's when I go to visit in North Carolina, you know,
and I always go to Dorothy's and get that so
I didn't realize there were so many neighborhood associated chocolate
shops in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
And then and then Frank, my cameraman, his wife Amy
is from Baden, and he said, you know Amy's family
goes to Anderson's all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
We gonna go to Anderson's too, So those are Matt Anderson's. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And then I had two stories from old shows. Betsy
Ann was in my show Things We've Made in two
thousand and two or in two thousand and three. But
I said it's worth repeating, and I called them then
still family, the same family owns it and everything. And
then also Yetter's in Millville, which is the smallest of them,
but they still make candies in the back.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So on like the skow of these places, what is
like the biggest to smallest.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, the biggest is Sarah's. They're in every giant Eagle, and.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Of the ones that we visited, I, you know, it's
hard to know because I don't I didn't see the
factory in one of them. And like at Anderson's, they
have a beautiful big store and then a giant factory
behind and you just find out about and they all
have what they call the I Love Lucy line, you know,
where the chocolates come through and they have to try to.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Get them into the box and they're going too fast.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Every single place mentions I Love Lucy. So I had
a little research on that too. It's a nineteen fifty
two episode, the first episode of season two.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh, it was that early in the round.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I mean, that's the iconic scene of her trying to
finagle all of the chocolates into the box while the.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Conveyor belt is going too quick.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So I couldn't figure out how to deal with the
rights of, you know, using that Lucy clips. So we
just show one still and I say it's on YouTube. Yeah,
and this pair, I bet her state would have been
okay with it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I'm not even kidding there. They're they're so ubiquitous. But
you still got to deal with the rights and all
of that. So did you.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Tackle the reason for or is there just some sort
of connection between why in Pittsburgh all of these communities
as opposed to other Rust Belt cities have chocolate factories
in every neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Maybe we just have good taste. No, I did not
tackle the why.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I don't know, because that's a unique part of Someone
along the line said, part of it may just be
Pennsylvania's location and how we are we can access any
part of the country.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I mean Hershey's. I thought you were going to say Hershey's.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah. I didn't go there with this show because this
is local. But you know, it's the little ones that
you want to go to. And I says to me,
it was amazing how happy the employees seem.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, exactly, that's certainly the key.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
There's this movie you should watch, There's no Opas right.
Did you learn any tricks on how to make sure
you get a good one in the box?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Oh? To identify?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, they always have those maps on the on the
bigger ones, you know, like when you open it, it'll
give you a map of what is in the box.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You think I could read that fine print.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I know some people have things they don't want to eat,
Like my sister never wants a nut.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Okay, she's not allergic, she just doesn't want a nut.
But I'll eat anything, and so I love Like there's
a place out on the Stupenville Pike called Andy's Candies,
and when you walk in, they have always have a
thing They're of goofs, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The screw ups.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah, and I love that you don't know what you're
gonna get, and there's a whole bunch of different ones.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, you can cover anything in chocolate, Yeah, clearly. But
so I would imagine that all of these different chocolate
chops have something that they consider sort of like their
signature that separates them from other places. Right, yeah they do,
but I you know, we only we all the only
(11:16):
ones who do this, right maybe not?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, they think they are.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
And then you're like, no, I remember if Pink House
said they they're the only place around that does chocolate
covered twinkies. Oh that's interesting, and you know, but I
think all of them know that there's all those possibilities
out there. And actually I've had in the last couple
of weeks, I've had things out they're like, you know,
if this were covered in chocolate, I'd like it even more.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, how much chocolate did you eat doing this? Not
too much? Yeah? Did anything? Read is too decadent for you? No?
It does not? Know the media the phrase two decadents
now so too much fun.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
And actually we were at Dorothy's the Monday before Thanksgiving
and I don't know if Nan Cohen does a lot
of radio around town, and she and Marlene Druskin for
ten years they've been doing i say, influencer style videos
every week from Dorothy's talking about the different candies you
(12:20):
can get and all that. And so they put on
like a nice little show for us, and we you know,
we not only got their video, but we also had
Frank doing a wide shot so you can see how
it is with Marlene holding her phone up and you know,
recording it. But in the process of that, I had
a chocolate covered potato chip which I thought about and
(12:42):
I think it was the first time I thought this
is so great. So that's what I brought for you guys,
this storninge and I stopped in your kitchen here and
opened it up so.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
That you know I didn't have one, but I will
have one now and I'll pass it to Randy.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
They're incredible chocolate cover potato chips. Yes, this is a miracle.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I got a double one.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Unless you just left them in your car A ruffles.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That's from Andy's Candies. No, that's from Dorothy's. It's very odd.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I can't remember if I came in and talked about
the Chicken Blast, the Serbian Chicken and Weird.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, don't urban. Because I did a show called Meet
Pittsburgh several years ago. I've been getting my turkey fresh
from Pounds Turkey Farm out in Leechburg, Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And so I would expect that from you.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I went to Thanksgiving dinner and you didn't, like have
it from some little like you know, bespoke situation, I
would be disappointed.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I went and got turkey at Pounds Turkey Farm. And
I usually have Thanksgiving at Chris Fenimore's house and I
bring the turkey, but he cooks it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So I have the turkey. No, it's not a special.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And uh, I'm there at my house and I get
a call and it's uh George a Teslo from Weird
and he goes Rick you know the Men's club here.
We do our turkeys over the fire like we did
the chickens, and we have one opening. Do you want it?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No way?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
And I said yes, So I called Chris vanen Wiseai,
do you mind if someone else the turkey goes?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Not at all? You do it?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So they they they would like put those turkeys on
a spit yep like they do with all those chickens.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, not as close as the chickens because they keep
careful records of who brings which turkey.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So you have to bring a foud or in my case,
a fresh turkey. You supply the turkey, You.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Bring the turkey, a pound of butter and an aluminium
pin pan, and they put the aluminum pans under the
turkeys to catch the drippings and then they also use
that just pea and over and base holy and so
you have to take the turkey on Wednesday and then
pick it up before noon on Thursday. And it's not
something that they're looking for people to do it. They
had one opening.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah right, it's not like please, So I think they
did fifty six or fifty seven turkeys.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
My fifteen pounder was one of the smallest. How good
was it? It was excellent? Was it?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Like?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
It had that same smokey wonderful you know, just salt
and pepper. Wow, really really great.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It makes you wonder why we all don't take yeah,
whitel pikes and put birds on them and roast them
for hours at the time exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
My brother in law smoked the turkey this year. It
was delicious. Yeah, I don't get into the deep fried turkey.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
So much of the smoke turkeys because I think it
like takes away from the town. I like just a
regular turkey. Well, yeah, this is probably closer to you know,
your oven. It's not smoked so much as over an
open fire.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
But it had to be the like the moistest.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Turkey you ever had, right, and you know, and all
the strings that they have to put on it to
keep all of them, you know, appendages in control and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So okay, so that was excellent as well.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh that's tonight on WQD. Tonight
on WQD at eight o'clock. And uh, it's the fourth episode,
and Lucky to Live in Pittsburg the first one with
a subtitle, which is a few luscious local chocolate chops.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
How many total did you visit? Well, we did.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
We do it like a little montage where we just
stopped and got exteriors and that was fun as well.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, you know there's.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Two in New Kensington, Velos and Chloris. And you know
I keep a Mela in the strip and Chocolate Moose
in Squirrel Hill.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I got a when I went out with my turkey.
That's on the old Stubenville Pike. That's where Andy's Candies is.
So I got a shot there, and uh, you know,
the stores are everywhere. Actually, I went up to Saxonburg
and then the little grocery store in Saxonburg. There's two
two displays one from.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Oh in Butler Fuguers Flugers like pl yeah and speckled
hen I think is the other one that's there in Saxonberg.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
So they're all over the place right, Well, that's sennight
On WQD.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Let me tell you why, you know, I think that
your work is invaluable because this, to me, my favorite
part of it all is that you get to see
the people. Like the surrounding parts are great, but it's
about hearing the people talk about these places. I don't
have to care about the places or the products so much.
I get so much out of listening to the people
that you interview and the way that they sort of
(17:27):
just are so prideful of what they're doing and how
they are so glad to share the story of the
history of these places. And it makes living here such
some more like it's such a richer experience. Thank you
for watching and getting to experience all these things that
you go and do. Even though I'm not going to
(17:49):
these places, I like knowing they're around me.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I totally agree with you, and I'm honored that you
would perceive that because I said, I think to Frank
when we watched the finished you know show, to say,
is it okay?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Done with it? You know? I say, I just love
the people. Yeah, you know the guy who's worked for
forty eight years.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You know, in the candy shop, starting as an apprentice
to mister Anderson up in Baden in forty eight years.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's a long time, in the forty eight Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
But they open up to you like people open up
to cab drivers. Like they open up to you in
a way where they feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Telling you everything. Like that's the good thing.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Is that That's what I appreciate, is that you have
earned the respect and their trust, and so you get
this authentic portrayal of Western Pennsylvanians and documenting that stuff
is priceless.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Cool, all right, I don't want my head to explode.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Tonight eight pm on WQD check it out, Rick, It's
always a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Thanks for bringing all this chocolate. Hey, I've sat their
stuff too, so oh yeah, yeah you got booze. I do.
Come on, Abby has said so many nice things. Yeah,
I know it get us drunk on entery. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I was up at Bottle Rocket the other night. They
showed Happy Holidays and pits.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Oh that's so fun.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Kathy Neederberger made egg nog and she said, hey, last
year you took it to d V, so this is
for DV. D Oh no way. She made like yeah,
because she said, you know, you guys appreciated it and
that's all that it takes.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And then these are now available at w q e D.
It does look like a shoe box. It does actually
has a video tape box and Maxell's.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
We had to have something to put them in, so
I brought you all. I mean, I brought one for
Jacob and one for Mike.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's even one for you, and.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I mean and actually, if I have another second, i'll
tell you. When I turned on the show, I guess
was when you came on to you were talking about
Danny's and uh yeah, when I was in high school,
I got to be a fo An exchange student to
Brazil And.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Dude, why doesn't that supprisibent at all? This is like,
of course you did, go ahead, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So I went through a program called International Fellowship out
of Buffalo and they had a meeting here in Pittsburgh
at Taylor Alderdeys High School and there, I guess I
sat next her. I don't know why I made a
friend Karen Cranick from mun Hall or Ducuane, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I don't remember exactly where she was from.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
And so that was like we were there and I'm
gonna say, there's thirty kids from this area who were
going to Brazil that summer, and twenty four were going
to Saint Paulo and six of us were going to Rio.
And you know, when you're in high school, I thought like, oh,
everybody's going to Sound Paulo. I'm going to Rio, not
knowing that I just hit the jack and Karen was
(20:53):
also going to Rio.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So we were a part of the small group of
six going to Rio, and so we had it off.
We saw other again on the plane going down there
and everything. And I get there. I have a wonderful family,
two brothers. They do in Kiko, and they showed me
around Rio and I don't know if you know this, I
mean where Ipanima and Copa Cabana, the two beautiful beaches
(21:18):
on the bay. Of course, where they meet there's a
giant pile of rocks, so they're really separate beaches.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
It's not like one big beach. And they on that
pile of rocks and doing Keiko said, we're going to
climb up the top. Okay, So we climb up to
the top, and when we get up there, Karen Kranick's
there with her two Brazilian sister and it was totally unexpected.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And of course her Brazilian sisters and my Brazilian brothers
are we don't know any Portuguese yet and trying to
figure us out.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And so I'm standing there with Karen and she said,
now we're You're from Bathel Park, aren't you. I said yeah,
And she goes, do you live near Danny's. I said,
you can almost see Danny's from my house. Yeah. She goes, oh,
that's my favorite place to go. You know, when we're
hanging out and we just want to go somewhere, I
want to go to Danny's. I always remember that. Here
(22:13):
we are in Rio between even Yoba Cabana, and what.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Are we talking about Danny's Hogies, because that's what Pittsburgh is,
always Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yes, did you know that Joe Bartneck is going to
be on the pizza boxes at Danny's Very.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I cannot wait to see that. It's so ridiculous. Will
you be recognizable? It's just you know, oh, it's very recognized.
Are we allowed to post the picture?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I wanted to jinx it because, like I said, it's hot.
You know, my background is until the checkcat. But I'm

them don't.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You're you're right?
Speaker 8 (24:42):
How about Mike tomm twenty one and three on Monday nights?
Does that make you feel a little better?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
A little bit, A little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, I don't know what Mike McDaniel is like. All
I know is that dude gets he's so cold. He
looks like like when when the weather, you know, gets frosty.
He looks like Jack Nicholson at the end of the shining.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
He's gonna look like the little kid a Christmas Story.
He's gonna be like waddling around the sideline like the
michelin Man. You know, some coaches don't like to wear
too much cold weather stuff because they want to look tough.
My players that he's like, I'm gonna be warmed the players.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
His players hate him. Tried to signal time out, but
I couldn't remember. They gave him a bunch of guff
for that because he was like in the locker room
at halftime like oh my god, Like he was complaining
and stuff. But they're like, hey man, you got a
tough one up a little bit here. It's like, yeah,
I don't know that that's gonna work for him.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
He should just steer steer into the door skid because
that's Hey, it's working for him lately, they're.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
For I think he's a fun figure in the NFL
to have a character like that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I think he's a good thing. Jackass, but yeah, it's
a good thing. I like it.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
I like my coaches to look like Tom Landry and
Vince Lobardi, although none of them do anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Who's the last guy that wore a suit on the sidelines? Yeah?
He uh, he tried to bring it back and it
didn't last well, he got he got canned.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I thought they find the head coach in for the
Niners for wearing a suit because they're supposed to wear
the logo crap is sponsored by Nike. Oh really, Yeah,
he tried to wear suit because his dad died that
weekend and he wanted to honor him by wearing a
suit because his dad would always wear a suit. No,
I'm I don't have the recall right now.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
But I don't either, Swaye Philips. Still I still love,
isn't it?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Well?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Wade would bumb never wor.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
B didn't wear athletic gear Norimore's jeans and his big belt,
goat harder coat.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, exact, he didn't wear it.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
In the astronom, he wouldn't wear the stats and in
the at Mama told him no, weear hat indoors.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
He is some of the great quotes ever.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Those are good games back then, Dan Pastorini would just
be like.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Two of the better teams in history were the Oilers
of the seventies and the Bills that didn't ever win
a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I used to have the Jim Kelly Bills. I used
to have the Iron nine cheap like mal t shirt
that had the Super Bowl with the Oilers trying to
get open the door with Lambert cartoon Lambert state.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, Chuck Nole and uh and bum or am I
thinking of Glanville, Yes, because Glenville I always thought was
like a disciple of bum but he was actually kind
of a little more used car sales mini.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I think Glenville was a disciple of Chris christoffers.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, I mean just he just out there. He did
a lot of stuff that a lot of people didn't like.
He always have tickets for Elvis, which is great. Yeah,
I mean just the.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Way they played over the edge, that whole house of
pain thing. But hey, it's pro football. Do what you
can get away with. I never understood what was wrong
with that, Like the bounty. Are you supposed to go
hurt somebody on the other team technically they don't like
it when you say it out loud.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yes, inside thoughts, yes, I wanted to kill him. No,
just so I wanted to hit him very hard. You know,
it's the same thing. But oh, pr And.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was mister Buckets's birthday like two days ago, and
the guy, hey, I'm is mister Buckets to me if
you if you want to call him Dick, you go
right ahead.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm calling him mister Buckis. Uh. It was his birthday
recently two.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Days ago, and they a guy on the internet put
his original NFL films piece like the bio on him
that you never see anymore because it's so violent. When
he's sitting here in the office chair and he gets
his favorite movies when the head gets knocked off and
the rolls down the steps.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh yeah, yeah you.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
They'll never show the esp anymore, but they I loved
I said it to everyone I knew, like, this is
the best clip ever.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I remember that. Wait, what movie is that?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's like, anyways, go ahead, I'll figure it out.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Sports Start brought to you by Bridgual Plants Pens in
the Canadians tonight a big game. I suspect head coach
Dan Museby of Joey Beach is a pot cast partner.
Josh Joey of the Athletic defended his decision to play
crys La Tang and Eric Carlson at the end of
what became at debacle against Tampa Bay on Tuesday night,
(29:11):
said MWSE quote, both of those defensemen are out there
on every situation. And Joe, as you mentioned this morning,
Josh pointed out that MWSE pretty much did the same
thing against the Islanders in the home opener, putting the
power play out when there were fifteen seconds left and
there was an offensive zone face off and they almost
(29:34):
got the game tied in.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
He had Gino out there then, Not exactly, mister Selke.
Speaker 8 (29:39):
No, and hey, Carlson and Latang have been better in
terms of being less turnover prone, and you know they've
played more within the structure this year. But as Josh
points out, no Penguin has been responsible for more goals
against than the Tang this season.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
He's gonna cost him the season.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Why is he out there in that situation. Josh also
mentions in his ten Observations quote, it's beyond baffling that
they lost the game to Anaheim, and I'd be concerned
that there could be a psychological impact. This is the
kind of loss that can trigger a losing streak, and
I would agree with that one thousand percent. They got
(30:20):
to play a responsible, structured.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Game tonight, and if they do, they've.
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Done that a lot this year, and it's worked out
a lot, and they got to finish it because you know,
finishing's big stuff can get out of hand quickly.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So Penn's in Montreal tonight. It's tough.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
They played so good for forty or fifty nine minutes
and I'm bad at math forty three seconds.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
They're overachieving, right, we all agree on that, but it's
still pretty early in the season. Like sometimes teams overachieve
all year and sometimes they just get off to a
good start.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And then they remember back to what they thought they
were going to be.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
They've played us out of our expectations. Like our expectations
keep going up the way they've been playing. Because I
had zero at the beginning of the year, I'm like, oh, well,
maybe I don't think there's any chance they would be
a playoff And now I'm kind of thinking like and
I think if they are a playoff team at the
end of the day, that would be a pretty good
achievement for this one.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Somebody had a piece about like, tanking never works.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It doesn't when you look at Chicago's barely now a
reasonable team and it took him ten years.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Mm hmm, Well but there's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
But there's a lottery now so that we know there
stays they getting him and there's no one like him anyway, Joe.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
The movie that Dick Buckets was talking about was Hush, Hush,
Sweet Charlotte with Betty Davis, and this is the clip
that you were talking about.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Hit him, lift them up and put him on his back.
I want to just let him know that they've been hit,
and when they get up, they don't have to look
see who.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Is that hit him, and make an attack.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
When you hold that guy's arm, he's got nothing to
absorb to blow with except maybe his head or his shoulder.
And this is what I like to do, punish the man.
One particular movie that stands out in mind. It was
with Puddy Davis. I think it was Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte.
I got kind of a charge when that had come
rolling down the stairs. I kind of like to watch
it and see if things happen, and maybe project those
things happening on a football field. And I think being
(32:16):
mean is a way to get yourself excited. It's almost
like a like being mad. It's like hating the fella.
I make up things. Maybe if he's smiling, I'll make
up a thing, imagine everything that, Hey, this cat's you know,
he's laughing at me. Where the game gets going, I
want to get this guy, embarrass him, intimidate him. When
you see the guy trying to get up and he's
wobbling a little bit, maybe his helmet's you know, turned,
(32:37):
and that's the linebackers to like, you're not going to
end up hurting me. It's going to be you. You're
going to be going to be punished, so you better
get ready.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
Today football football.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You imagine if someone like went out today and said
something like that, Like I like to visualize knocking the
guy's head off and seeing it rolling around on the field.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Violence compels me.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Five thousand dollars fine for every word.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, it's not the same. Abby will have your news
at the top of the hour. Well, I have so
many silacious stories, but Rick Seeback is here. Should I
be telling those? I want to hear them. PBS approved
something called Jack Nicholson. Uh huh, boy, all right, dealing

we'll talk, Oh dude, I know this story.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
We'll talk to Missy Matthews first after this commercial break,
but before that, Mike Randall.
Speaker 8 (33:34):
There's a big game tonight, and it'll be contested by
two teams headed in profoundly different directions. One still has
a great deal to play for, it's getting healthier, and
it's playing at home. The other is four to nine,
playing out the string in a disappointing season and forced
to confront a Thursday night on the road.

Matthews joining us now from Steelers dot Com, brought to
you by Boris and Bortis fighting for justice this morning
here on DV.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Missy gets a round of applause. Hi, double m how
are you.
Speaker 8 (35:56):
Hey, guys?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I'm great, How are you good? Okay? So a little
bit of everything chocolate.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Chew well, I don't think there's any chocolate covered chew
in Rick Seabeck's chocolate special on QED tonight, but it
appears like chocolate on everything else.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
You wait, are you a are you a Bethel person? Also?
Originally no, you're plum.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
I'm an Oakmont girl.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
What's all right? So what's the Oakmont chocolate? You know?
Speaker 10 (36:24):
I'm like, I don't think I've ever had their chocolate.
I'm as Sarah's chocolate snob.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah, I kind of.
Speaker 10 (36:32):
Yeah, I mean, you just it's good. I don't know
what else to say.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
They figured it out, They really did.
Speaker 10 (36:39):
Yeah, you can buy it a giant eagle. You don't
even have to go to wash Paul right.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
But the the peanut butter melt aways, to me are
those are like those are special occasions because I'll house
like ten of those things in one sitting.
Speaker 10 (36:53):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
But the chocolate pretzels, I've never gone to a family
function and not brought those. And someone else from my
family he's brought the one from here I was telling
you about earlier, the sponge candy. But I always like
it's expected when I get there. My nieces and nephews
like run up to me like, burp up the chocolate pretzels,
let's go get them out. Yeah, I always load up
at the airport, all right, So Steelers loaded up offensively
(37:17):
with a couple of wide receivers a little different. You know,
we always have fun asking you about Roman Wilson's maturation,
but it appears that they have changed horses. How much
do you think having Adam Feeling an MVS in there
changed the potential for this offense.
Speaker 10 (37:38):
I truly believe with Adam Feelin it was you have
to respect him. He just you could just tell he
was re energized. Of course he didn't play a ton
of snaps, but just getting to watch him throughout the week,
I'm sure Trip can attest to, you know, literally jumping
on a moving train. It's not like he's worked with
Aaron before, but being able to go out there and
(38:01):
play a limited number of snaps but also make the
Ravens think okay. I mean obviously throwing a bomb to
DK to start things off made them think again about
stacking the box and realizing, oh wait, I guess they
can throw the ball. They haven't, but they can, and
they just didn't adjust. And I think MVS, that's just
somebody that Aaron is comfortable with, clearly, So I'm interested
(38:25):
to see kind of what the game plan is moving
forward there. You know, there were some passes just in
pregame warmups where you're like, oh, is that going to
happen on that sideline in the game. So anxious to
see if they build on more of that in how
they kind of figure out the whole, you know, numbers
game when it comes to figure out who's active and
who's inactive, because it's not just the wide receiver group,
(38:46):
it's you know, it can be who's D line, whatnot
offensive line, Then you might need an extra So we'll
have to see how that plays out. They practice for
the first time today, actually met.
Speaker 8 (38:57):
See there was a lot going on on the field
Sunday in Baltimore, and a lot going on along the sideline.
Guys getting knocked out of the game, going to the
blue tent, some of them came back in. Metcalf ends
up taking a gunner rep. With everything at stake late
in the fourth quarter, what was the.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Vibe down there?
Speaker 8 (39:15):
Did it feel different because they're they're all in seemed
to be at a level that they had not matched
previously this year?
Speaker 10 (39:25):
Yeah, I mean I felt like, you know, the travel,
the team meals, the buses, the pre game, everything felt
how they normally do. I don't feel like there was
some big change that you know, propelled them to this win,
but they definitely have the energy up throughout the game
for obvious reasons, especially when you get a lead like that.
I think, you know, having the passing game going down
(39:47):
the field energize them. And just the way that guys
were playing. How could you not watch what Patrick Queen
was fighting through and just how he kept going to
not make you want to go out there and play
your best, And it just felt like, you know, Aaron
brings this energy, especially when the offense is on that
(40:07):
is just contagious. I mean, you had Mike Tomlin doing
the discount double check. He did like a double double check,
and I was like dying when it happened because I
was literally right there and Max saw it too, and
like both of us were almost you know, without words
because it just came out of nowhere. But hey, it
was a broken down play, as he had said postgame,
(40:28):
and he made something happen and they all know what
is at stake. Clearly that was a must win. Game
as must win as you can say throughout the regular season.
So and I think doing it in Baltimore it always
feels extra good. But and I think the bad taste
from the guys who were here last year obviously that was,
you know, not what you wanted to happen, but you know,
(40:49):
stopping to runs another story. They still were able to
get the win despite that. But I do think in
terms of, you know, containing Derek Henry, it really wasn't
until the end that they started to give bigger plays him,
and I felt like the Ravens were like, oh, yeah,
this guy's still on our team. He's really big, he's good.
We know what he did against him the last two
times we met. So we'll have to see how this
(41:10):
goes moving forward. I'm glad they have the extra day
with a Monday night game for guys to get healthy,
just being at this point of the season. But yeah,
Monday night at home, I love that.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Minus the weather, yeah, I know, because you're gonna have
to be on the elements. Well, you'll be warmer than
Mike McDaniel, who's like my mom.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
When it comes to cold.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
It gets so cold all the time, Like cover your ankles, bro,
so we know what we have to do defensively against
the Dolphins, and that's stopped and run. What do we
need to do what's going to work best offensively for
the Steelers on Monday night?
Speaker 10 (41:44):
Offensively, I think they do need to run the ball.
I don't think this is a you know, consistent way
that you can win, but I think if it's more
balanced and having teams have to respect the fact that
you're not just gonna run, I think that will be huge.
And you know, Darnell Washington is really the one on
offense that I would really like to know if he's
(42:04):
going to play or not. I'm hoping because of the
extra day, as I said, he can get through concussion protocol,
but you just kind of saw what a difference it
is when he's not in there to really make that whole,
you know, line of scrimmage go in terms of what
the offense wants to do. So hopefully he's back out
there and they can continue to march forward.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Mission.
Speaker 8 (42:26):
Do you go micheline man when it gets real cold
or do you try to tough it out with just
a minimal clothing protection.
Speaker 10 (42:34):
No, I'm not stupid. I'll start, you know, base you
know like I walked to the car. I walked from
my car to the stadium and like bare minimum, and
then I got for my pregame, hit at a layer,
come back out at another layer, and then finally for
game time. I'm like, where's my heated best? Give me
all of the you know, hand warmers, toe warmers, and
(42:56):
I don't care what I look like. I just want
to be warm.
Speaker 2 (42:59):

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
