Guaranteed human.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
My ex wife used to bring that places when I
would go to eat emergency. Yeah, just in case, like,
hey there's not enough food here, Like let's have a
lasagna homemade.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
She'd have one, like in the car or in a
cooler or something, or just like always heavy, bring it in.
You just bring a lasagna wherever you went. Yeah, I
love that Italian. No, but I you know, she she
learned how to make Italian. She converted.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Okay, yeah, I'm Italian, and I'm always like somebody's gonna
blow it, I'll bring something.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
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 gump sho.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Nervous cleaning, making too much food. It's just embedded in.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Her warmth feels Italian though I always feel her warm abby. Yeah,
that's the I mean, no one wears it like I do, because.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You literally wear it. I'm Brandy Bellman and the Dve More.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You're the only guy I know who has a sweatshirt
that has the Italian flag and says.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Pittsburgh above it. Yeah, it says Pittsburgh Italian. I like
people to know what they're getting into.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
That's sure, Okay, we appreciate it. Joe Bartnick hanging out
with us this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Pack show for you. I'll give you my three and out.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
My three picture of the weekend coming up at seven
forty five. Rix cback at eight o'clock live in studio,
we'll be talking about his new WQEED special, Lucky to Live.
It's episode four in that series and Lucky to Live
in Pittsburgh that is. And tonight's episode is about chocolate shops.
Oh plus, we've got a lot of chocolate shops. That
sounds sweet. And then Missy Matthews, Guy Junker talking Steelers.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Abby's got your news. Now what's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Web Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot com. Mostly cloudybreezy and colder
today a couple of snowshowers. I have thirty expect flurries
tonight as well. The century after its opening, the AMC
Waterfront twenty two in Homestead has received a major multimillion
dollar makeover. The results were apparently impressive during a media
(02:11):
tour that happened on Wednesday, highlighting all of the renovations.
Seating capacity in many of the theaters has been reduced
by fifty percent, but they're doing a stadium style seating,
so they've got the recliners now, but all of the
reclining seats have two setting heating elements now really getting relized.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I kind of feel like that is the wrong direction.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
To cut the seats and then really make it like
a living room. Yes.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Why I because it sort of foments this atmosphere that
people don't necessarily want to be a part of.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Is it more comfortable for me personally, yes, But it's
like the movie equivalent of people wearing pajamas on a plane.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I get that, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I mean, Like there should be a formality to where're
gonna sit here and absorb this film. You know, not
not uncomfortable seats, but like I don't know how much comfort?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, Joe Burrows, Ye, baby, save.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The money and make popcorn cheaper. There you go.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, you don't know, you know, no one cares about
you know, no one cares about the seat. It just
costs too much to go.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, the good news is 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.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
HOGI in there if you want it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Sure, but it's like, you know, you want to be
able to buy your data popcorn. Sure, and it shouldn't be.
It shouldn't be one hundred dollars a night I go
see the movies. I actually think movie popcorn is disgusting.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I'm not a huge fan. It always makes me sick.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
After all, it's cold, it's cold, and that fake butter
is on it.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh, I'm always stuck eating all because whoever I go
with is like they'll have three bites and then I
can't resist popcorn. I know, it's like inion rings. Everyone's
ironon rings, but then I have to eat the last nine.
You have to no wonder your mom makes you stop eating? Well,
I don't waste food, Yeah right, well that's yes. My
grandmother used to say, if you waste food, you're gonna
(04:16):
lick it off the devil's tail.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
What. Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to hell if I
don't finish these mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Or tom cruise party or she's like, no, no, no,
you're gonna get way into s and m if you
don't eat this promise.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I guess I'm part of the problem a little bit.
I told you I took eighty to see Wicked two
or whatever it's called, which was not enjoyed by Eaty
at all. But before we went in, I let her
pick the seats. I thought that was going to be
like a big fun thing for the day. And she's like,
I want to sit in the back. And I'm like
the back, because I'm like there's nobody like we're we
(04:54):
are ahead of the game here. We can pick any
seat in the theater we want, don't We want to
be like right in the middle and right in the center.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
And she's like, no, no, no, it's in the back.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Like why the back?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
And she's like, so we can take our shoes off.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
And then before we got there, I'm like, oh, what
kind of concessions are we gonna get?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
And I'm trying to like really make the experience a
big thing, like ooh, Mommy and Edie day, what are
we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And she's like, no, no, no, no, We're gonna go to five
below first get all the snacks, and then we're gonna
stuff them in my coat and then we're gonna go in.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I'm like, are you sixty five?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But yeah, let's do that. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
So they are gonna cut capacity, They're gonna like, hush
up the seats or they've already done this. But then
they also renovated the primary refreshment stand into mcguffins, which
is a full service bar with food options.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
I'm imagining you can take those to your seats.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So I don't know if this is like much for
a movie. I just think it is. I know, I
think we lost the plot and doing a lot. I
just know I like cheap movies.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I know, like if it's like Spider Man or something,
I bring my kid to the twenty five dollars seats
and they'll be surround sound. But when it was just
a daughter day, you go to the three dollars movie
and boom, if it stinks, who cares?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It was ten bucks? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
True, it's just so much the level of like it
was good, who cares?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
But my gross factor of those more comfortable they make it.
I think the nastier it is to go sit there
after someone else did.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I didn't even think about that. They're not cleaning it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
They're not cleaning it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
There's somebody just like drooling on that seat, scratching themselves.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't know, something to consider. No, no, we've considering it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
One thing that is kind of part of the bigger
development of the waterfront is because they're reducing the seats
or the amount of seats, that means they have fewer
parking spaces that are designated for the theater. So now
the parking lot behind the AMC, they get less parking spaces,
and they're going to be able to take those and
(07:00):
develop that into a different restaurant or retail space.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
All right, well more stuff at the waterfront.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, good luck.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I have not been to the waterfront since the hateful late.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
That's why I said, last time I went. I know,
well the Improv. You know, going to the Improv is
the only time.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I oh yeah, yeah, you know, And I get lost
every time coming home.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Streets, Rount Road, beast Front Road.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
They like they're lost coming home. I know you're not
from here, don't live here.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And eat out. How blind? I am. Yes, Well, you
probably shouldn't be driving at night, Joe.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I know even last night they were scared driving from
Mount Washington. This is a little slippery outside, Like, oh
my god, like you know, I can't see. Yeah, you're
mister magoo man. You should not be driving at night.
I shouldn't be driving in the day. Well, I don't
like driving.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I need to be in a mass transit city. I am. Yeah,
I try to be yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Pittsburgh is not a mass transit city. I mean it
can be, but it's very difficult to ride the bus
at night with your friends from San Francisco and show
them the city the way you want to.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, to take us four hours, although I did learn
the hack of taking the bus from the airport to downtown.
Three bucks really opposed to like this ninety dollars uber.
I didn't know there was a three dollars shuttle. Yeah,
it's a it's a regular path bus, is regular PAP bus. Yeah,
it's amazing. I was sitting there like, oh my god,
it's like ninety dollars. All of a sudden a bus
(08:18):
came by the it's got to get me closer and
it went right downtown. Boom, take the take the subway
back home.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Boom. Oh so you you took this.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You took a bus downtown and then the tea back
to Bethel Park. Yes, I mean it's very roundabout way
of getting there, but super cheap.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
But yeah, well, I mean, you know, ninety bucks are
just like I got more time to money homes.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah you said it like like here in a Chicano gang.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well yeah, no, no, that's the line from Colors. Yes
they homes. Dude. I watched that movie again.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm like, that was a scary time in America watching
like the depiction of Los Angeles, like right around the
Rodney King Riots era.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Right, it was like, oh my god, wild West out there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I don't know how accurate that movie is of a representation,
but like, as a teenager in western Pennsylvania, I'm like, wow,
it's a different world out there.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Whi's really funny is like how they pretended that Sean
Penn would be like the Mexican Chip would be cool
bang and Sean Penn.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Like what a fantasy that is?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, the other funny thing about it is Don Sheetle
is the bad gang me, Like he's the badass gang leader.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You're like, I'm not scared by Don Sheebel.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now, he's done too many things that are just you know,
where he's just delightful.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, Yeah, I bad casting in retrospect, you know, Yeah, didn't.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Hold up all right, This is a sad story. I'm
sure you guys saw it circulating. Yes, Andy Dick suffered
an apparent overdose.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yes, I mean that's the thing. You're not wrong to
say that, but this is.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
All I got scared. I'm afraid I was. I wrote
a movie with Andy Dick, did you really?
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It would not be released today?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Will say that that's very much in line with his
humor and yours.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, this od happened right out in the open, and
TMZ caught it on video, which was unfortunately how I
saw it, because it just kind of popped up in
my alborim.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It's just so sad that, like somebody's inclination while there's
a guy overdosed on the sidewalk, is, oh, he's famous,
let's film it. Yeah, they would sort of like hurry
up and get an ambulance here this guy is actively
o ding.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, I mean they walked up on him and thank God,
they put the camera down. They didn't stop rolling on it,
but they put the camera down, and it appears that
they did administer narkhan and were able to revive him.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well, it's sad on mindy levels, but like I know
his kids, Yeah, that's so it's like, you know, he's
oh Andy Dick hahaha, and he's you know, he's Andy Dick.
You know his paragraphs of Wikipedia. But right, but when
you know, like his kids, sure, it's just it's.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
A little it's a little different because he was and
has been a punchline for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And just imagine that's your dad, I know. Awful.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, he's only fifty nine too.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And he's had so many people try to help him
through the years, and hopefully he'll get to the point
where he wants to get help.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And I'm glad they saved him.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Yeah, I'm then move on to uh because at his peak,
by the way, super funny when like the news radio days,
like when he was first coming up, he was a
super funny guy.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The Ben Stillers show all of that. When he was
in his heyday, he was as funny as anybody.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
In a way, he was ahead of his time. M
m with his like sexuality, didn't understand.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And yeah, fluid sexuality, yeah, all that stuff our behavior.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, Yeah, I do think that though in his instance,
like I know that people can get sensitive one way
or another, but the availability of narcan he deserves to
get a chance to live and fix this. Yeah, and
especially because he has kids, and I I think that
he's had periods of sobriety in his life. He's he's
(12:30):
been in and out of rehabit so for whatever reason
that this is a ghost that is still continuing to
haunt him.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Likely even if he is failing, he is trying.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, that's what I knew he'd be sober, because like
every six months had called me and like, hey, let's
get that script going again, so it would have like
most of it done right, Yeah, and then all of
a sudden he's like, yeah, come over tomorrow, and then
he disappear for another six months.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
That.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yeah, I hope he figures it out.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Timothy Shalome stir debate online after boldly praising his own
work in Marty Supreme.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So I'll let you finish.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
No, no, no, it's it's all right. Listen. He's got
his own approach. But even like when he did his
Oscar speech.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
He he are we sure he's not doing a bit
as the character from the movie.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Is my question.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Here's the thing. I'm gonna let you hear it because
this video in the interview. The video was kind of
wiped from the internet, but I.
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Have the audio, and I actually don't think it's as
bad as it reads. Like when you read the text,
you're like, good god, this dude's full of himself, and like,
now it actually.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Does make sense that he's dating kind of gender.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
But when you hear it, I don't know if it
sounds that bad.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
This is probably my best performance, you know. And then
it's been like seven eight years that I feel like
I've been handing in really really committed, top of the
line performances. And it's important to say it because the
discipline and the work ethic I'm bringing these things I
don't want people to take for granted. I don't want
to take for granted.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think that's one of those inside thoughts.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
You probably shouldn't say that to people.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I understand when he's saying I'm putting in this work,
I don't want to take that for granted. What he
should not have said is I don't want people to
yah you.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
People should appreciate me.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's the part that's the inside thought.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, he's got a rich dad. He was brought up
pretty blessed. His sister's and actress too. And she's had
some successes. Yeah, his sister, she's she starred in Mindy
Kaling's HBO show The Sex Sex Lives of College Girls
or okay, whatever that was called.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I kind of know what you're talking about. I didn't
watch it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, and she's she's like the female version of Timothy.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
She's a little more.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Midwestern looking. I guess it's just really hard for me.
Who you know, Hey, no word. I've acted in a
few things.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Dude, come on, Old Dad. You have a star turn
in the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Old Dad, Thank You with Bobby Caronavalley and uh and
Bill Burr of course.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
No, yeah, no thanks. And I've done some other stuff
and doing stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But it's as a pittsburgher, it's hard for me to
have to pretend that it's work.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It's just it's make believe.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Guard Nell says that all the time, it's I'm not
digging ditches, which I have. I'm not doing this, you know,
I'm not keep picking up golf balls of people hitting
down with the cage over me, which I have.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You're like, you know, like a cool spray. Yes, yeah,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's like there's jobs, there's jobs, and then there's happened
to remember your lines? To go hang out with a
bunch of beautiful people. Yeah, they get catering three times
a day. Like you know, it's so when people act,
that's why might It used to be my favorite thing
about David Letterman and then Howard Stern was when they
would take the out of actors and actress take themselves
(16:06):
too seriously. Yes, like, and that's one of those situations, like, dude,
how much work did you put in pretending you were
Bob Dylan?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yes? Oh did you have to listen to a lot
of Bob Dylan? Oh? Act? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, like like, oh, your trailer was three feet smaller
than you thought.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It was going to be. And I hate it because
I do think he's good.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I think he's really good, and I don't want to
hate that kid, but I'm kind of starting to hate him.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm good, I.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Mean, but it's just it's just I can't pretend that
he's I put so much into this. If he starved
himself like the narrow or something, I could say, okay,
well that kind of stunk.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But well, because the problem is this, all right, when
you have those discussions with people who are in the arts,
that is a statement that will probably ring true to them,
and they like it's incumbent upon them every time to
contextualize it. Of course, I'm not digges, And after a
while you just kind of stop doing that, and then
(17:03):
you're just living in the world of people who are
creating things, and you're speaking with this understanding like I'm
giving him the biggest benefit of the doubt, like this
understanding that well, yes, of course this isn't like hard,
like a real job, but in the context of the
creative world that I'm in, i am pouring all of
my creative energies into this and my heart and soul
(17:25):
and I'm being as vulnerable as possible and as emotionally
available as possible. And those are difficult things, but they're
not as hard as being on a telephone poll in December.
But you can't say that every time, which is why
you don't say the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
You don't even say it.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You just you exist in that world you can have
that conversation with people who are in that world. But
once you broach that subject with the media and it's
going to the people who are actually doing hard work, well,
you're just gonna sound like an a hole. And I'm
not even trying to say, hey, comedians are these people.
But you know, he's reciting what somef but he else,
he has so many layers of people to fall back
(18:03):
on and blame. Is he really putting himhimself out there
like comics do, like you guys do every morning, like
you're putting yourself out to be judged by the heroes,
or like a singer songwriter or even a writer who
puts their puts their script out there, he's it's already
been so approved, and he's like he.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Just is walking around pretending he's doing make belief. No,
that's a great point.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Like a musician, it's all on you and those words
are yours, and that's people peering into you and you
allowing that to happen.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And when you're an actor, it's only your portrayal of
somebody else.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
And then like you said, there's wardrobe, there's stylists, there's
press agents, there's writers, there's directors.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
There's cinema for cinematographers.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
There's all these people who are tasked with making you,
putting you in the best possible light.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Right, That's why you don't say anything, This is my point. Yeah, no,
you just don't say crap like that.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
The real discipline is allowing others to say that about you,
allowing others to come to you and give you that
a claim about your work. But the other thing, Timothy,
is this movie's about bang palm.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So calm down.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I mean he sprained his shoulder trying to pat
himself on the back.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I want to get to this next story, so because
we only have time to do that before we go
to the break.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But it's so damn funny.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
The Conan O'Brien thing, This is amazing, and I think
it's just like a nice way to touch base because
people deal with grief in a myriad of ways. When
Conan O'Brien's parents died within three days of each other
last December, maybe his own way of dealing with it,
But he ended up in a three way text conversation
with Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, who maybe a lot
(19:45):
of people know from the SmartLess podcast. In which he
accused Jason of killing them, and Jason went with it.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Take a lot Friday, bring up a touch of actual.
This is real personal subject for you. The family, yep,
my parents and so well. First, let me just say
the timelinecause I have it here. I wrote it down
last year because the timeline was so good. And so
I I hear that that your your dad passes away,
and I text you, uh that day or the next day,
(20:15):
and I said, hey, listen, I'm sorry to hear about
your dad's passing, sending love from our family to yours,
and you wrote, thank you. Will to be honest, I
blame Bateman for the death of my for the death
of my father. The day after his father dies. Yeah right,
so I wrote, it's not a terrible theory and contexted
me back, he killed my dad.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
My dad, can I say, in fairness, my dad would
have loved this.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
So so so uh so then Baban Babean, I tell
Babman this, we're dying. We're doing a thing that day,
so he the next day Bateman texts you and he says,
Arnette tells me you're on to me and ConA text.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Baby.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
He says, Babman, do yourself a favor, favor, turn yourself in. Yeah,
two days after your dad passes. Of course your mom
passed away, Yeah, which we didn't. I did not see coming,
did not see coming. So I text you two days
(21:22):
after I knew you were a boss. I said, Bateman
is asking for your Sister Street address.
Speaker 12 (21:33):
Okay to give And you were busy that weekend.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
Like a day and a half later, your texted back,
just seeing this now fantastic six twenty five Boilston Street,
Department twelve s tell Babman to make it look like
a robber.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You know, it's weird. I swear to God, this is
how I grieve.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I know, everyone has their way.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I'm right there with them.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Incredible eight million views on that, so I think actually
the message resonated with a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, when you're in those situations, it's you know, I mean,
my father's death was so over the top traumatic that
it just we laughed our asses off the whole time
because there was no other way to do it, you know,
like it was just watching him, you know, fall to
the throes of dementia. Was was brutally tough on all
(22:28):
of us. And so there are so many funny things
that happened along the way, and you have to enjoy
every single one of them for what they are.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Like you can either be like, this is so sad.
You can be like, did you see what he just did?
That was the funniest Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And it's not really even gallows humor so much. It's
like that's just a way to cope, you know, and
it is hilarious. The funniest part of that to me
is when he said he killed my father, Like.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Hell, I'm saying killed him.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Joe Barnick's hanging out with us here this morning, and
Michael have your sports coming up next.

the weekend to do it, and you can just passively
watch football as the Ravens and the Bengals face each other.

Speaker 14 (24:17):
Penguins and the Canadians tonight seven o'clock down at the
PPG Paints Arena. And it's a matter of personal perspective
as to what type of momentum the Penguins will engage
the Canadians with. They've either lost too straight or they
have points in force trade. But two consecutive shootout losses,
(24:38):
dropping them to zero to five this season. In such situations, oh,
for their last nine and fourteen of their last fifteen
on the wrong side. Well, probably want to avoid a
shootout for the time being, and probably want to avoid
collapsing in the latter stages of the third period, which
is starting to become.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
A bit of an annoying habit.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
It is a trend around the lead though, like a
lot of teams are blowing leads with the goalie pools.
Speaker 14 (25:02):
Oh my god, there was four games just the other
night that got tied up into closing seconds.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yes, it happens, It just stinks.
Speaker 14 (25:11):
It shouldn't happen when you've got an offensive zone face
off to commence a power play with eighteen seconds left
in regulation.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
No, those are different extended circumstances, for sure. But I
think that they too many teams play a pre event
and you know, everyone hates the prevent defense.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I think, just attack the puck.
Speaker 14 (25:30):
Yeah, I'm a big fan of playing defense because nobody
ever says it usually works, and nobody ever says, well,
they did the right thing. They packed it back and
they didn't come up anything, and they closed the game.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Out.
Speaker 14 (25:41):
Every once in a while you blow on it and
see it's the prevent defense comes in football all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
A lot of times it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oh yeah,
that was my One of my dad's biggest pet peeves
was my mother's too.
Speaker 14 (25:54):
My mother used to love to wait for something to
happen and then bitch that they didn't do it the
other way.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
That's a mom But I think that in love with
their son. That's just what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
That applies to a lot of things outside of it.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
The other way, I tell you you don't listen po.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Ye, Well yeah, Yanna, But I just think pack in
the box and sitting in front of that just means
more deflections, more sticks in the way. Just go out
and harass the guy with the bucket the point. Just
send two guys out there, make him make a play.
Speaker 14 (26:26):
It's an interesting, interesting game tonight because I think they
need to bounce back. Yes, absolutely, you know the two
points are big, but I think.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I don't want to.
Speaker 14 (26:38):
I don't know if psychologically it is the right word,
but you just want to get this behind you and
get back to being who you've been for the majority
of the season.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, the last four games they've played, They've played well.
They just blew two games at the end. I thought
they played.
Speaker 14 (26:50):
Really well in that Anaheim game too, which is Anaheims
number one on the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
The Dallas game they played great. Tampa Bay was a
wish wash game. But two years ago, that last year,
that team would have lost that game. Once it went
from three nothing to three three, they would have lost
six to three. Gino scores the big old they you know,
it's like they're winning games. They win the one last year.
Speaker 14 (27:11):
And now they've lost one that nobody's lost in any
years in.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
The Canadians tonight at the Rinks.
Speaker 14 (27:19):
Some moves for the Steelers yesterday, roster related in advance
of Monday nights hosting of Miami at Akrisher Stadium. Offensive
tackle Dylan Cook has been signed to the active roster
from the practice squad. He was elevated prior to the
last Sunday's game in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Weren't you surprised? Hard about it?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And attack him a little bit more like I looked at,
you know, one of those aggregate sites put up all
of Dylan cook snaps, and I was.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Like, he's just he wasn't sending a bunch of people
at that.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Dude, trying to confuse him or anything. I thought they
would have tried to exploit that a little more than
he did. He did fine, all things considered, But you know,
I don't know how to judge that based on the
fact that I would have thought they he could have
thrown a kitchen sink on that side and really scrambled
that news brain.
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I would have too, Although what they did kind of
worked because the Steelers really didn't do much in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Well, they weren't trying to do some of that year prevent.
Speaker 14 (28:12):
Some of that was the Steelers going conservative after three
quarters of put the pedal down and throw the ball
down the field. Dylan Cook made his NFL debut against Baltimore,
but he's been hanging around in the league since twenty
twenty two. Steelers have also signed offensive tackled David Sharp
to the practice squad. They've placed offensive tackle Calvin Anderson
(28:33):
on the reserve injured list. So his regular season's done
and that's your swing tackle he'd be playing if he
was healthy. He'd at least be a swing tackle in
better circumstances. Trey Sermon released from the practice squad. David
Sharp is a former fourth round pick of the Raiders
in twenty seventeen. Six six, three hundred and forty three pounds.
(28:56):
He has experience, but not a ton of it. Forty
six career NFL games, six career NFL starts with Oakland, Washington, Baltimore, Carolina,
and the Chargers. Appeared in one game this season October
the twelfth. He participated in the Chargers twenty nine to
twenty seven victory over Miami. Hey, maybe that's the ticket
(29:16):
to get a guy who's beating the Dolphins already. But he
only played eight special team snaps in that game, and
he doesn't have a ton of offensive snaps in his career,
so he's a backup, but he's been in the league.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I would imagine he's.
Speaker 14 (29:29):
Going to be active by Monday night from the practice
squad at the very least promoted for the game because
they're kind of running out of bodies at offensive tackle.
Falcons at the Buccaneers tonight Thursday Night Football and the
one Steelers fans will have their eyes on above all others.
On Sunday, the Ravens at the Bengals six and seven
Baltimore against four and nine Cincinnati and seemingly depressed Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, boy, that is a weird Joe Burrow right now.
If I'm not having fun, what's the point.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
The internet rumors are that he's gonna pull and Andrew
Luck and retire, or that he's gonna force a tree.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
It feels more like forcing a trade to me.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I'm still taking them this weekend. He's too young to
be the Steelers quarterback next year.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah, way too young, dude. That secondary leaves huge windows.
Joe Burrow is gonna have a field day on Sunday.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Yes, I would imagine that the Ravens will get healthy
offensively as well.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah, Bengals defense isn't great. It's not good, okay, but
you know, if they're not playing in a blizzard and
he doesn't throw back to back picks because of a blizzard,
you know, they win that game and we're worried about
all the Bengals, but they didn't, then we're not.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
They got a three percent chance at the postseason now,
So that's why he's.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
He looks like Charlie Brown right now on the podium. Actually,
what'sappointed in anything? Go see Lucy and cheer up, would you.
Speaker 14 (31:01):
I wonder if Eddie of that has anything to do
with this, because I actually thought the Bengals had a
reasonable chance to beat Buffalo. Now, what gave me, pa,
what gave me pause was Buffalo is usually much better
at home than on the road, and Buffalo was playing
at home.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
But if the Bengals had won that game, now they're
really in it.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
No, no, they I would have played them to win
the AFC North.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Had they won that game, yes, And so maybe this
is all.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
You know, it's been a really grinding, grueling, difficult season
for them.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
They probably thought, hey, we're still in this.
Speaker 14 (31:33):
All we're going to do is win this game and
we can save this and you know, it comes crashing
down in agonizing fashion. And maybe he just is having
a hard time dealing with it.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I don't know. I don't know him that well.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Like I said, I think I think he's his comments
and the way he dresses. He always been a little
bit of a outside the lines, goofy eccentric in an engaging,
entertaining way.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I agree this was neither of those things. Well, I
just think that how many years has he been there? Seven?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, in in Cincinnati, there's a six whatever it is.
While that's a long time to be in Cincinnati, and
that's and get injured the way he has and then
deal with the organization. Also, I think that coach has
done him wrong. But he's going to the super Bowl
with that team.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
First year, second year almost won it. Yeah, so theoretically it's.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Possible, and yet he's still on the podium sad sacking.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
It's just not fun driving the batmobile anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
What's the point of it all? Like, dude, calm down,
have some fun. Pete the Ravens, that's what the money
is for ruin their season for war. That'll be fun.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I well, I'll tackle it in the three an ounce
segment next Abby, he's got your news coming up the

segment where I pick three games for you that are
guaranteed to probably, maybe, possibly win. It's brought to you
by Bett Park Sportsbook and casino app. Gambling Problem Call
one eight hundred Gambler Let's get started, Mike, what am
I looking at here?
Speaker 14 (35:06):
Game number one, the Raiders at the Eagles minus eleven.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
The Kenny Pickett Revenge Game.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Kenneth Shane Pickett returns to Philadelphia to face the team
he helped propel to a Super Bowl win, the Eagles, who,
without gratitude for the seven snaps he mopped up in
Super Bowl fifty nine, literally threw him to the dogs
in Cleveland, Cleveland, who, before he played one down of
football for them, tossed him into the black hole of
(35:33):
the Raiders, where he is sat on the bench learning nothing,
by the way, and now he's finally poised to emerge
his starter. And you want to bet against Kenny Pickett, yep,
and spot him eleven points this Sunday? What would you
spot Baine eleven points? Because Kenny Pickett is football, Baane.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
He literally crawled out of the pit. You merely adopted
the doc. I was traded into it.
Speaker 16 (36:05):
And then quickly the dark was like, boy's hands were small,
Maybe we should draft thee on the Sun. And then
somebody who was like, jeez, we already have a lot
of quarterbacks, but they're good at anyway. And then they
traded me one more time to somewhere even darker.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Now.
Speaker 16 (36:19):
I'm older and wiser, but mostly older because I graduated
when I was like twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
So why am I not on the fence about picket?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
That's what I'm wondering. Plus eleven for one thing.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
The Eagles are coming off on Monday night West Coast
heartbreaker that caused even more locker room in fighting.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
And additionally, they got one less day of rest.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Than pickets plunderers, and overall, the Eagles are a mess.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Their Super Bowl hangover is the football.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Equivalent of Tiger Woods waking up half hanging out of
the driver's seat of his tahoe parked on top of
his mailbox, still tripping on ambient and eighteen Mick ultras
while his wife throttled them with a nine iron for
nailing a pancake waitress.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
But don't pull it together and cover against the Raiders, right, No.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Not necessarily. They drup three straight. They barely won against
the teams they have beat. Not to mention, this is
the same Raiders team that kicked a meaningless field goal
last week as time expired just to cover the spread
in all time. Blatant backdoor cover from Pete Carroll, who
I guess figures the only way to save his job
in Vegas at this point is to appease degenerate Campbeller's
(37:27):
God bless them so unless the temperatures drop so low
that Kenny has to wear two pairs of gloves on Sunday,
an actual possibility for mister dollhands take the Raiders and
the points with Pete Carroll. It's guaranteed backdoor action.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Abby.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I'd like credit for refraining from the easy joke there.
I had a bunch of them, including one about Elton
John on his birthday.
Speaker 12 (37:48):
Next, Raven's up the Pathels plus.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Two and a half.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Nothing quite like two sub five hundred teams playing one
another in December with playoff implications on the line.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
It's becoming the AFC North.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
We used to have a proper division, the toughest in
the NFL. This year, the AFC North is kind of
like Station Square. I swear it was great, just like
a year ago.
Speaker 12 (38:11):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (38:12):
These two teams already met once on Thanksgiving when Lamar
and Company burned it up five times on route to
a thirty two to fourteen shellacking in Burrows Return.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
And now it's desperation time in Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Last week's loss to the Steelers means the Ravens need
this win like Pat McAfee needs a throat lozenge.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
The Ravens lose this.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
One, and their playoff hopes are slimmer than one of
the stars of the movie Wicked. And while there's plenty
of time to plenty of blame, rather to go around
Harball's doing that thing where he holds one hand up
as a shield, and then behind that he points at Lamar.
Lamar's missed a bunch of practice because of injuries, and
it sounds like Harms ain't too thrilled about it.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
He told reporters.
Speaker 15 (38:51):
Quote, if it's not the best thing to practice because
you want to get your body right, I think you
have to respect that as a coach, So I respect
Lamar and his judgment.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Translation, why won't you practice, you lazy wuss. Lamar's completion
percentage has been under sixty the last five games straight,
and the Ravens d gave up a bunch of big
plays to the Steelers, who aren't exactly known for that
kind of thing. How do you think the fair against
Burrow and the boys, who routinely gashed defenses. Joey b
at four touchdown passes last week against Buffalo. Schrrey threw
(39:23):
a couple of picks back to back, one of the
pick six, but.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
It was a blizzard.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
If not for that, the Bengals get out of Buffalo
to win, and they're the ones we're worried about. And yes,
I saw the press conference where Joe Burrow said yesterday
he's not been having fun and contemplates whether or not
to keep playing. Yes, it seemed like a football suicide.
Note No, it's not exactly the stuff that makes you
want to run into a battle with him like Braveheart.
But Joe's a gamer, and that Baltimore secondary is gonna
(39:47):
leave some big windows for MOPI Joe, that'll gonna be
too juicy to pass up. Take Burrow and over passing
yards on Sunday, and like Jethro Tall, I'm going bomb
goals in the jaw.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Dolphins up these Steelers minus three the main event Monday night.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel looks like the dude at the
Apple store who condescendingly asks you if you tried turning
your phone off and back on again before he attempts
to fix it, losing to McDaniel's like getting dunked on
by Muggsy Bogues.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
It could happen, you just don't waned to happen to you.
The credit where credits do.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
He's turned this team around in short order, and while
everyone else was calling for the head Dolphins job, McDaniel.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Said, eh, eh.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
The Dolphins are hoping to ride the A chain to
an upset win over the Steelers Devon A chain. That is,
if the Steelers run defense is as bad as it
was against the Bills, they will not only won't be
able to stop a chain, they won't be able to
stop the b chain or the Sea chain.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
And if Derek Harmon doesn't.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Play on Monday Night, the Steelers are gonna need my
mom to start a prayer chain for their run defense.
And that's not as hopeless as you might think. My
mom said, they pray to missus Chanley's goiter last month,
so anything's possible. In the nine games Harmon has played
this year, the Steelers have only allowed an average of
ninety six yards rushing per game. In the four games
Harmon didn't play, Steelers fans nearly tore the stadium apart,
(41:14):
called for Tomlin's job and boots sticks. Jeremy Renner didn't
run over as bad as the harmonless Steelers do. The
other big storyline in this one is Fitzpatrick's revenge. No,
I'm not talking about green diarrhea you get after Saint
Patty's day pay.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Talking about former Steeler safety MIKEA.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Fitzpatrick returning to Akrischer Stadium for the first time since
being traded back to the Dolphins. The Steelers gave up
a first round pick for Maca in twenty nineteen, which
allowed us to enjoy Duck Hodges to quack his way
into our hearts with a three and three record as
a starter that made us miss out on Justin Herbert
in the draft the next year, which, look it's worth it, Okay,
The Duck year was so much fun. It was like
(41:56):
taking a semester at college because you party your balls off.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
We weren't making memory. He's there. Mink has always honked
off about something.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
One time, bitching so much at Tarrell Austin when he
was hurt, he got Toma to call time out and
change the defense for a game winning interception against the Packers.
He famously complained that the Steelers had a work ethic
problem or frame we hear more often than jingle bells
this time of the year, by the way, and Mike
Tomlin labeled him ornery and sent him back to the
team from which they acquired, Miami, the NFL equivalent of
(42:26):
being lost luggage a pointless, circuitous journey. Steeler fans always
complained Minca didn't make enough splash plays, and his defenders
would tell you, we have to appreciate the plays that
Minca didn't make, like he was playing jazz instead of football.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
So MinC is revenge, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Temperatures are expected to be in the teens and Tua
is oh for lifetime.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
When the temperatures are under forty six degrees.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Steelers just need to do the football equivalent of taking
a modium load.
Speaker 12 (42:53):
Up against the runs and.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Watch Tua go free and out.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Tomlin's gonna send dork boy in his vap pens back
to Florida and then smoke stuggies with Jay Lazer and
Brett Michaels all night long. Steelers flay the Dolphins take
the good guys.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I guarantee the possible winner for you this week and
courtesy of the DV morning show.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Oh Rick c Back joints. That's nice.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
During football season, people make clutch plays on the Bette
Park's casino and sportsbook app, like Marissa up early making

Speaker 2 (00:05):
My ex wife used to bring that places when I
would go to eat emergency. Yeah, just in case, like,
hey there's not enough food here, Like let's have a
lasagna homemade.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
She'd have one, like in the car or in a
cooler or something, or just like always heavy, bring it in.
You just bring a lasagna wherever you went. Yeah, I
love that Italian. No, but I you know, she she
learned how to make Italian. She converted.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Okay, yeah, I'm Italian, and I'm always like somebody's gonna
blow it, I'll bring something.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
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 gump sho.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Nervous cleaning, making too much food. It's just embedded in.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Her warmth feels Italian though I always feel her warm abby. Yeah,
that's the I mean, no one wears it like I do, because.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
You literally wear it. I'm Brandy Bellman and the Dve More.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
You're the only guy I know who has a sweatshirt
that has the Italian flag and says.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Pittsburgh above it. Yeah, it says Pittsburgh Italian. I like
people to know what they're getting into.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
That's sure, Okay, we appreciate it. Joe Bartnick hanging out
with us this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Pack show for you. I'll give you my three and out.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
My three picture of the weekend coming up at seven
forty five. Rix cback at eight o'clock live in studio,
we'll be talking about his new WQEED special, Lucky to Live.
It's episode four in that series and Lucky to Live
in Pittsburgh that is. And tonight's episode is about chocolate shops.
Oh plus, we've got a lot of chocolate shops. That
sounds sweet. And then Missy Matthews, Guy Junker talking Steelers.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Abby's got your news. Now what's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Web Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot com. Mostly cloudybreezy and colder
today a couple of snowshowers. I have thirty expect flurries
tonight as well. The century after its opening, the AMC
Waterfront twenty two in Homestead has received a major multimillion
dollar makeover. The results were apparently impressive during a media
(02:11):
tour that happened on Wednesday, highlighting all of the renovations.
Seating capacity in many of the theaters has been reduced
by fifty percent, but they're doing a stadium style seating,
so they've got the recliners now, but all of the
reclining seats have two setting heating elements now really getting relized.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I kind of feel like that is the wrong direction.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
To cut the seats and then really make it like
a living room. Yes.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Why I because it sort of foments this atmosphere that
people don't necessarily want to be a part of.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Is it more comfortable for me personally, yes, But it's
like the movie equivalent of people wearing pajamas on a plane.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I get that, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I mean, Like there should be a formality to where're
gonna sit here and absorb this film. You know, not
not uncomfortable seats, but like I don't know how much comfort?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, Joe Burrows, Ye, baby, save.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The money and make popcorn cheaper. There you go.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, you don't know, you know, no one cares about
you know, no one cares about the seat. It just
costs too much to go.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, the good news is 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.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
HOGI in there if you want it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Sure, but it's like, you know, you want to be
able to buy your data popcorn. Sure, and it shouldn't be.
It shouldn't be one hundred dollars a night I go
see the movies. I actually think movie popcorn is disgusting.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I'm not a huge fan. It always makes me sick.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
After all, it's cold, it's cold, and that fake butter
is on it.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh, I'm always stuck eating all because whoever I go
with is like they'll have three bites and then I
can't resist popcorn. I know, it's like inion rings. Everyone's
ironon rings, but then I have to eat the last nine.
You have to no wonder your mom makes you stop eating? Well,
I don't waste food, Yeah right, well that's yes. My
grandmother used to say, if you waste food, you're gonna
(04:16):
lick it off the devil's tail.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
What. Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to hell if I
don't finish these mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Or tom cruise party or she's like, no, no, no,
you're gonna get way into s and m if you
don't eat this promise.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I guess I'm part of the problem a little bit.
I told you I took eighty to see Wicked two
or whatever it's called, which was not enjoyed by Eaty
at all. But before we went in, I let her
pick the seats. I thought that was going to be
like a big fun thing for the day. And she's like,
I want to sit in the back. And I'm like
the back, because I'm like there's nobody like we're we
(04:54):
are ahead of the game here. We can pick any
seat in the theater we want, don't We want to
be like right in the middle and right in the center.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
And she's like, no, no, no, it's in the back.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Like why the back?
Speaker 5 (05:03):
And she's like, so we can take our shoes off.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
And then before we got there, I'm like, oh, what
kind of concessions are we gonna get?
Speaker 5 (05:11):
And I'm trying to like really make the experience a
big thing, like ooh, Mommy and Edie day, what are
we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And she's like, no, no, no, no, We're gonna go to five
below first get all the snacks, and then we're gonna
stuff them in my coat and then we're gonna go in.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I'm like, are you sixty five?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But yeah, let's do that. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
So they are gonna cut capacity, They're gonna like, hush
up the seats or they've already done this. But then
they also renovated the primary refreshment stand into mcguffins, which
is a full service bar with food options.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
I'm imagining you can take those to your seats.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So I don't know if this is like much for
a movie. I just think it is. I know, I
think we lost the plot and doing a lot. I
just know I like cheap movies.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I know, like if it's like Spider Man or something,
I bring my kid to the twenty five dollars seats
and they'll be surround sound. But when it was just
a daughter day, you go to the three dollars movie
and boom, if it stinks, who cares?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It was ten bucks? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
True, it's just so much the level of like it
was good, who cares?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
But my gross factor of those more comfortable they make it.
I think the nastier it is to go sit there
after someone else did.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I didn't even think about that. They're not cleaning it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
They're not cleaning it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
There's somebody just like drooling on that seat, scratching themselves.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't know, something to consider. No, no, we've considering it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
One thing that is kind of part of the bigger
development of the waterfront is because they're reducing the seats
or the amount of seats, that means they have fewer
parking spaces that are designated for the theater. So now
the parking lot behind the AMC, they get less parking spaces,
and they're going to be able to take those and
(07:00):
develop that into a different restaurant or retail space.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
All right, well more stuff at the waterfront.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, good luck.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I have not been to the waterfront since the hateful late.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
That's why I said, last time I went. I know,
well the Improv. You know, going to the Improv is
the only time.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I oh yeah, yeah, you know, And I get lost
every time coming home.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Streets, Rount Road, beast Front Road.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
They like they're lost coming home. I know you're not
from here, don't live here.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And eat out. How blind? I am. Yes, Well, you
probably shouldn't be driving at night, Joe.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I know even last night they were scared driving from
Mount Washington. This is a little slippery outside, Like, oh
my god, like you know, I can't see. Yeah, you're
mister magoo man. You should not be driving at night.
I shouldn't be driving in the day. Well, I don't
like driving.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I need to be in a mass transit city. I am. Yeah,
I try to be yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Pittsburgh is not a mass transit city. I mean it
can be, but it's very difficult to ride the bus
at night with your friends from San Francisco and show
them the city the way you want to.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, to take us four hours, although I did learn
the hack of taking the bus from the airport to downtown.
Three bucks really opposed to like this ninety dollars uber.
I didn't know there was a three dollars shuttle. Yeah,
it's a it's a regular path bus, is regular PAP bus. Yeah,
it's amazing. I was sitting there like, oh my god,
it's like ninety dollars. All of a sudden a bus
(08:18):
came by the it's got to get me closer and
it went right downtown. Boom, take the take the subway
back home.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Boom. Oh so you you took this.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
You took a bus downtown and then the tea back
to Bethel Park. Yes, I mean it's very roundabout way
of getting there, but super cheap.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
But yeah, well, I mean, you know, ninety bucks are
just like I got more time to money homes.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah you said it like like here in a Chicano gang.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well yeah, no, no, that's the line from Colors. Yes
they homes. Dude. I watched that movie again.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm like, that was a scary time in America watching
like the depiction of Los Angeles, like right around the
Rodney King Riots era.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Right, it was like, oh my god, wild West out there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I don't know how accurate that movie is of a representation,
but like, as a teenager in western Pennsylvania, I'm like, wow,
it's a different world out there.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Whi's really funny is like how they pretended that Sean
Penn would be like the Mexican Chip would be cool
bang and Sean Penn.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Like what a fantasy that is?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, the other funny thing about it is Don Sheetle
is the bad gang me, Like he's the badass gang leader.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
You're like, I'm not scared by Don Sheebel.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Now, he's done too many things that are just you know,
where he's just delightful.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, Yeah, I bad casting in retrospect, you know, Yeah, didn't.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Hold up all right, This is a sad story. I'm
sure you guys saw it circulating. Yes, Andy Dick suffered
an apparent overdose.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yes, I mean that's the thing. You're not wrong to
say that, but this is.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
All I got scared. I'm afraid I was. I wrote
a movie with Andy Dick, did you really?
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It would not be released today?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Will say that that's very much in line with his
humor and yours.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, this od happened right out in the open, and
TMZ caught it on video, which was unfortunately how I
saw it, because it just kind of popped up in
my alborim.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It's just so sad that, like somebody's inclination while there's
a guy overdosed on the sidewalk, is, oh, he's famous,
let's film it. Yeah, they would sort of like hurry
up and get an ambulance here this guy is actively
o ding.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, I mean they walked up on him and thank God,
they put the camera down. They didn't stop rolling on it,
but they put the camera down, and it appears that
they did administer narkhan and were able to revive him.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well, it's sad on mindy levels, but like I know
his kids, Yeah, that's so it's like, you know, he's
oh Andy Dick hahaha, and he's you know, he's Andy Dick.
You know his paragraphs of Wikipedia. But right, but when
you know, like his kids, sure, it's just it's.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
A little it's a little different because he was and
has been a punchline for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And just imagine that's your dad, I know. Awful.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, he's only fifty nine too.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And he's had so many people try to help him
through the years, and hopefully he'll get to the point
where he wants to get help.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And I'm glad they saved him.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Yeah, I'm then move on to uh because at his peak,
by the way, super funny when like the news radio days,
like when he was first coming up, he was a
super funny guy.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The Ben Stillers show all of that. When he was
in his heyday, he was as funny as anybody.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
In a way, he was ahead of his time. M
m with his like sexuality, didn't understand.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
And yeah, fluid sexuality, yeah, all that stuff our behavior.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, Yeah, I do think that though in his instance,
like I know that people can get sensitive one way
or another, but the availability of narcan he deserves to
get a chance to live and fix this. Yeah, and
especially because he has kids, and I I think that
he's had periods of sobriety in his life. He's he's
(12:30):
been in and out of rehabit so for whatever reason
that this is a ghost that is still continuing to
haunt him.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Likely even if he is failing, he is trying.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Well, that's what I knew he'd be sober, because like
every six months had called me and like, hey, let's
get that script going again, so it would have like
most of it done right, Yeah, and then all of
a sudden he's like, yeah, come over tomorrow, and then
he disappear for another six months.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
That.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yeah, I hope he figures it out.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Timothy Shalome stir debate online after boldly praising his own
work in Marty Supreme.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So I'll let you finish.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
No, no, no, it's it's all right. Listen. He's got
his own approach. But even like when he did his
Oscar speech.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
He he are we sure he's not doing a bit
as the character from the movie.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Is my question.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Here's the thing. I'm gonna let you hear it because
this video in the interview. The video was kind of
wiped from the internet, but I.
Speaker 10 (13:29):
Have the audio, and I actually don't think it's as
bad as it reads. Like when you read the text,
you're like, good god, this dude's full of himself, and like,
now it actually.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Does make sense that he's dating kind of gender.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
But when you hear it, I don't know if it
sounds that bad.
Speaker 11 (13:48):
This is probably my best performance, you know. And then
it's been like seven eight years that I feel like
I've been handing in really really committed, top of the
line performances. And it's important to say it because the
discipline and the work ethic I'm bringing these things I
don't want people to take for granted. I don't want
to take for granted.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think that's one of those inside thoughts.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
You probably shouldn't say that to people.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I understand when he's saying I'm putting in this work,
I don't want to take that for granted. What he
should not have said is I don't want people to
yah you.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
People should appreciate me.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's the part that's the inside thought.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, he's got a rich dad. He was brought up
pretty blessed. His sister's and actress too. And she's had
some successes. Yeah, his sister, she's she starred in Mindy
Kaling's HBO show The Sex Sex Lives of College Girls
or okay, whatever that was called.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I kind of know what you're talking about. I didn't
watch it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, and she's she's like the female version of Timothy.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
She's a little more.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Midwestern looking. I guess it's just really hard for me.
Who you know, Hey, no word. I've acted in a
few things.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Dude, come on, Old Dad. You have a star turn
in the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Old Dad, Thank You with Bobby Caronavalley and uh and
Bill Burr of course.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
No, yeah, no thanks. And I've done some other stuff
and doing stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But it's as a pittsburgher, it's hard for me to
have to pretend that it's work.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It's just it's make believe.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Guard Nell says that all the time, it's I'm not
digging ditches, which I have. I'm not doing this, you know,
I'm not keep picking up golf balls of people hitting
down with the cage over me, which I have.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You're like, you know, like a cool spray. Yes, yeah,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's like there's jobs, there's jobs, and then there's happened
to remember your lines? To go hang out with a
bunch of beautiful people. Yeah, they get catering three times
a day. Like you know, it's so when people act,
that's why might It used to be my favorite thing
about David Letterman and then Howard Stern was when they
would take the out of actors and actress take themselves
(16:06):
too seriously. Yes, like, and that's one of those situations, like, dude,
how much work did you put in pretending you were
Bob Dylan?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yes? Oh did you have to listen to a lot
of Bob Dylan? Oh? Act? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, like like, oh, your trailer was three feet smaller
than you thought.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It was going to be. And I hate it because
I do think he's good.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I think he's really good, and I don't want to
hate that kid, but I'm kind of starting to hate him.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'm good, I.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Mean, but it's just it's just I can't pretend that
he's I put so much into this. If he starved
himself like the narrow or something, I could say, okay,
well that kind of stunk.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But well, because the problem is this, all right, when
you have those discussions with people who are in the arts,
that is a statement that will probably ring true to them,
and they like it's incumbent upon them every time to
contextualize it. Of course, I'm not digges, And after a
while you just kind of stop doing that, and then
(17:03):
you're just living in the world of people who are
creating things, and you're speaking with this understanding like I'm
giving him the biggest benefit of the doubt, like this
understanding that well, yes, of course this isn't like hard,
like a real job, but in the context of the
creative world that I'm in, i am pouring all of
my creative energies into this and my heart and soul
(17:25):
and I'm being as vulnerable as possible and as emotionally
available as possible. And those are difficult things, but they're
not as hard as being on a telephone poll in December.
But you can't say that every time, which is why
you don't say the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
You don't even say it.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You just you exist in that world you can have
that conversation with people who are in that world. But
once you broach that subject with the media and it's
going to the people who are actually doing hard work, well,
you're just gonna sound like an a hole. And I'm
not even trying to say, hey, comedians are these people.
But you know, he's reciting what somef but he else,
he has so many layers of people to fall back
(18:03):
on and blame. Is he really putting himhimself out there
like comics do, like you guys do every morning, like
you're putting yourself out to be judged by the heroes,
or like a singer songwriter or even a writer who
puts their puts their script out there, he's it's already
been so approved, and he's like he.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Just is walking around pretending he's doing make belief. No,
that's a great point.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Like a musician, it's all on you and those words
are yours, and that's people peering into you and you
allowing that to happen.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And when you're an actor, it's only your portrayal of
somebody else.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
And then like you said, there's wardrobe, there's stylists, there's
press agents, there's writers, there's directors.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
There's cinema for cinematographers.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
There's all these people who are tasked with making you,
putting you in the best possible light.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Right, That's why you don't say anything, This is my point. Yeah, no,
you just don't say crap like that.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
The real discipline is allowing others to say that about you,
allowing others to come to you and give you that
a claim about your work. But the other thing, Timothy,
is this movie's about bang palm.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So calm down.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, I mean he sprained his shoulder trying to pat
himself on the back.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I want to get to this next story, so because
we only have time to do that before we go
to the break.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But it's so damn funny.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
The Conan O'Brien thing, This is amazing, and I think
it's just like a nice way to touch base because
people deal with grief in a myriad of ways. When
Conan O'Brien's parents died within three days of each other
last December, maybe his own way of dealing with it,
But he ended up in a three way text conversation
with Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, who maybe a lot
(19:45):
of people know from the SmartLess podcast. In which he
accused Jason of killing them, and Jason went with it.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Take a lot Friday, bring up a touch of actual.
This is real personal subject for you. The family, yep,
my parents and so well. First, let me just say
the timelinecause I have it here. I wrote it down
last year because the timeline was so good. And so
I I hear that that your your dad passes away,
and I text you, uh that day or the next day,
(20:15):
and I said, hey, listen, I'm sorry to hear about
your dad's passing, sending love from our family to yours,
and you wrote, thank you. Will to be honest, I
blame Bateman for the death of my for the death
of my father. The day after his father dies. Yeah right,
so I wrote, it's not a terrible theory and contexted
me back, he killed my dad.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
My dad, can I say, in fairness, my dad would
have loved this.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
So so so uh so then Baban Babean, I tell
Babman this, we're dying. We're doing a thing that day,
so he the next day Bateman texts you and he says,
Arnette tells me you're on to me and ConA text.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Baby.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
He says, Babman, do yourself a favor, favor, turn yourself in. Yeah,
two days after your dad passes. Of course your mom
passed away, Yeah, which we didn't. I did not see coming,
did not see coming. So I text you two days
(21:22):
after I knew you were a boss. I said, Bateman
is asking for your Sister Street address.
Speaker 12 (21:33):
Okay to give And you were busy that weekend.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
Like a day and a half later, your texted back,
just seeing this now fantastic six twenty five Boilston Street,
Department twelve s tell Babman to make it look like
a robber.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You know, it's weird. I swear to God, this is
how I grieve.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I know, everyone has their way.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I'm right there with them.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Incredible eight million views on that, so I think actually
the message resonated with a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, when you're in those situations, it's you know, I mean,
my father's death was so over the top traumatic that
it just we laughed our asses off the whole time
because there was no other way to do it, you know,
like it was just watching him, you know, fall to
the throes of dementia. Was was brutally tough on all
(22:28):
of us. And so there are so many funny things
that happened along the way, and you have to enjoy
every single one of them for what they are.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Like you can either be like, this is so sad.
You can be like, did you see what he just did?
That was the funniest Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And it's not really even gallows humor so much. It's
like that's just a way to cope, you know, and
it is hilarious. The funniest part of that to me
is when he said he killed my father, Like.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Hell, I'm saying killed him.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Joe Barnick's hanging out with us here this morning, and
Michael have your sports coming up next.

watch football as the Ravens and the Bengals face each other.

Speaker 14 (24:17):
Penguins and the Canadians tonight seven o'clock down at the
PPG Paints Arena. And it's a matter of personal perspective
as to what type of momentum the Penguins will engage
the Canadians with. They've either lost too straight or they
have points in force trade. But two consecutive shootout losses,
(24:38):
dropping them to zero to five this season. In such situations, oh,
for their last nine and fourteen of their last fifteen
on the wrong side. Well, probably want to avoid a
shootout for the time being, and probably want to avoid
collapsing in the latter stages of the third period, which
is starting to become.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
A bit of an annoying habit.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
It is a trend around the lead though, like a
lot of teams are blowing leads with the goalie pools.
Speaker 14 (25:02):
Oh my god, there was four games just the other
night that got tied up into closing seconds.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yes, it happens, It just stinks.
Speaker 14 (25:11):
It shouldn't happen when you've got an offensive zone face
off to commence a power play with eighteen seconds left
in regulation.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
No, those are different extended circumstances, for sure. But I
think that they too many teams play a pre event
and you know, everyone hates the prevent defense.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I think, just attack the puck.
Speaker 14 (25:30):
Yeah, I'm a big fan of playing defense because nobody
ever says it usually works, and nobody ever says, well,
they did the right thing. They packed it back and
they didn't come up anything, and they closed the game.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Out.
Speaker 14 (25:41):
Every once in a while you blow on it and
see it's the prevent defense comes in football all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
A lot of times it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oh yeah,
that was my One of my dad's biggest pet peeves
was my mother's too.
Speaker 14 (25:54):
My mother used to love to wait for something to
happen and then bitch that they didn't do it the
other way.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
That's a mom But I think that in love with
their son. That's just what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
That applies to a lot of things outside of it.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
The other way, I tell you you don't listen po.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Ye, Well yeah, Yanna, But I just think pack in
the box and sitting in front of that just means
more deflections, more sticks in the way. Just go out
and harass the guy with the bucket the point. Just
send two guys out there, make him make a play.
Speaker 14 (26:26):
It's an interesting, interesting game tonight because I think they
need to bounce back. Yes, absolutely, you know the two
points are big, but I think.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I don't want to.
Speaker 14 (26:38):
I don't know if psychologically it is the right word,
but you just want to get this behind you and
get back to being who you've been for the majority
of the season.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, the last four games they've played, They've played well.
They just blew two games at the end. I thought
they played.
Speaker 14 (26:50):
Really well in that Anaheim game too, which is Anaheims
number one on the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
The Dallas game they played great. Tampa Bay was a
wish wash game. But two years ago, that last year,
that team would have lost that game. Once it went
from three nothing to three three, they would have lost
six to three. Gino scores the big old they you know,
it's like they're winning games. They win the one last year.
Speaker 14 (27:11):
And now they've lost one that nobody's lost in any
years in.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
The Canadians tonight at the Rinks.
Speaker 14 (27:19):
Some moves for the Steelers yesterday, roster related in advance
of Monday nights hosting of Miami at Akrisher Stadium. Offensive
tackle Dylan Cook has been signed to the active roster
from the practice squad. He was elevated prior to the
last Sunday's game in Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Weren't you surprised? Hard about it?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And attack him a little bit more like I looked at,
you know, one of those aggregate sites put up all
of Dylan cook snaps, and I was.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Like, he's just he wasn't sending a bunch of people
at that.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Dude, trying to confuse him or anything. I thought they
would have tried to exploit that a little more than
he did. He did fine, all things considered, But you know,
I don't know how to judge that based on the
fact that I would have thought they he could have
thrown a kitchen sink on that side and really scrambled
that news brain.
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I would have too, Although what they did kind of
worked because the Steelers really didn't do much in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Well, they weren't trying to do some of that year prevent.
Speaker 14 (28:12):
Some of that was the Steelers going conservative after three
quarters of put the pedal down and throw the ball
down the field. Dylan Cook made his NFL debut against Baltimore,
but he's been hanging around in the league since twenty
twenty two. Steelers have also signed offensive tackled David Sharp
to the practice squad. They've placed offensive tackle Calvin Anderson
(28:33):
on the reserve injured list. So his regular season's done
and that's your swing tackle he'd be playing if he
was healthy. He'd at least be a swing tackle in
better circumstances. Trey Sermon released from the practice squad. David
Sharp is a former fourth round pick of the Raiders
in twenty seventeen. Six six, three hundred and forty three pounds.
(28:56):
He has experience, but not a ton of it. Forty
six career NFL games, six career NFL starts with Oakland, Washington, Baltimore, Carolina,
and the Chargers. Appeared in one game this season October
the twelfth. He participated in the Chargers twenty nine to
twenty seven victory over Miami. Hey, maybe that's the ticket
(29:16):
to get a guy who's beating the Dolphins already. But he
only played eight special team snaps in that game, and
he doesn't have a ton of offensive snaps in his career,
so he's a backup, but he's been in the league.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I would imagine he's.
Speaker 14 (29:29):
Going to be active by Monday night from the practice
squad at the very least promoted for the game because
they're kind of running out of bodies at offensive tackle.
Falcons at the Buccaneers tonight Thursday Night Football and the
one Steelers fans will have their eyes on above all others.
On Sunday, the Ravens at the Bengals six and seven
Baltimore against four and nine Cincinnati and seemingly depressed Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yeah, boy, that is a weird Joe Burrow right now.
If I'm not having fun, what's the point.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
The internet rumors are that he's gonna pull and Andrew
Luck and retire, or that he's gonna force a tree.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
It feels more like forcing a trade to me.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I'm still taking them this weekend. He's too young to
be the Steelers quarterback next year.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Yeah, way too young, dude. That secondary leaves huge windows.
Joe Burrow is gonna have a field day on Sunday.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Yes, I would imagine that the Ravens will get healthy
offensively as well.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Yeah, Bengals defense isn't great. It's not good, okay, but
you know, if they're not playing in a blizzard and
he doesn't throw back to back picks because of a blizzard,
you know, they win that game and we're worried about
all the Bengals, but they didn't, then we're not.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
They got a three percent chance at the postseason now,
So that's why he's.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
He looks like Charlie Brown right now on the podium. Actually,
what'sappointed in anything? Go see Lucy and cheer up, would you.
Speaker 14 (31:01):
I wonder if Eddie of that has anything to do
with this, because I actually thought the Bengals had a
reasonable chance to beat Buffalo. Now, what gave me, pa,
what gave me pause was Buffalo is usually much better
at home than on the road, and Buffalo was playing
at home.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
But if the Bengals had won that game, now they're
really in it.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
No, no, they I would have played them to win
the AFC North.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Had they won that game, yes, And so maybe this
is all.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
You know, it's been a really grinding, grueling, difficult season
for them.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
They probably thought, hey, we're still in this.
Speaker 14 (31:33):
All we're going to do is win this game and
we can save this and you know, it comes crashing
down in agonizing fashion. And maybe he just is having
a hard time dealing with it.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I don't know. I don't know him that well.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Like I said, I think I think he's his comments
and the way he dresses. He always been a little
bit of a outside the lines, goofy eccentric in an engaging,
entertaining way.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I agree this was neither of those things. Well, I
just think that how many years has he been there? Seven?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, in in Cincinnati, there's a six whatever it is.
While that's a long time to be in Cincinnati, and
that's and get injured the way he has and then
deal with the organization. Also, I think that coach has
done him wrong. But he's going to the super Bowl
with that team.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
First year, second year almost won it. Yeah, so theoretically it's.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Possible, and yet he's still on the podium sad sacking.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
It's just not fun driving the batmobile anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
What's the point of it all? Like, dude, calm down,
have some fun. Pete the Ravens, that's what the money
is for ruin their season for war. That'll be fun.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I well, I'll tackle it in the three an ounce
segment next Abby, he's got your news coming up the
top of the hour.
Speaker 4 (32:51):

by Bett Park Sportsbook and casino app. Gambling Problem Call
one eight hundred Gambler Let's get started, Mike, what am
I looking at here?
Speaker 14 (35:06):
Game number one, the Raiders at the Eagles minus eleven.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
The Kenny Pickett Revenge Game.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Kenneth Shane Pickett returns to Philadelphia to face the team
he helped propel to a Super Bowl win, the Eagles, who,
without gratitude for the seven snaps he mopped up in
Super Bowl fifty nine, literally threw him to the dogs
in Cleveland, Cleveland, who, before he played one down of
football for them, tossed him into the black hole of
(35:33):
the Raiders, where he is sat on the bench learning nothing,
by the way, and now he's finally poised to emerge
his starter. And you want to bet against Kenny Pickett, yep,
and spot him eleven points this Sunday? What would you
spot Baine eleven points? Because Kenny Pickett is football, Baane.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
He literally crawled out of the pit. You merely adopted
the doc. I was traded into it.
Speaker 16 (36:05):
And then quickly the dark was like, boy's hands were small,
Maybe we should draft thee on the Sun. And then
somebody who was like, jeez, we already have a lot
of quarterbacks, but they're good at anyway. And then they
traded me one more time to somewhere even darker.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Now.
Speaker 16 (36:19):
I'm older and wiser, but mostly older because I graduated
when I was like twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
So why am I not on the fence about picket?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
That's what I'm wondering. Plus eleven for one thing.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
The Eagles are coming off on Monday night West Coast
heartbreaker that caused even more locker room in fighting.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
And additionally, they got one less day of rest.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Than pickets plunderers, and overall, the Eagles are a mess.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Their Super Bowl hangover is the football.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Equivalent of Tiger Woods waking up half hanging out of
the driver's seat of his tahoe parked on top of
his mailbox, still tripping on ambient and eighteen Mick ultras
while his wife throttled them with a nine iron for
nailing a pancake waitress.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
But don't pull it together and cover against the Raiders, right, No.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Not necessarily. They drup three straight. They barely won against
the teams they have beat. Not to mention, this is
the same Raiders team that kicked a meaningless field goal
last week as time expired just to cover the spread
in all time. Blatant backdoor cover from Pete Carroll, who
I guess figures the only way to save his job
in Vegas at this point is to appease degenerate Campbeller's
(37:27):
God bless them so unless the temperatures drop so low
that Kenny has to wear two pairs of gloves on Sunday,
an actual possibility for mister dollhands take the Raiders and
the points with Pete Carroll. It's guaranteed backdoor action.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Abby.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I'd like credit for refraining from the easy joke there.
I had a bunch of them, including one about Elton
John on his birthday.
Speaker 12 (37:48):
Next, Raven's up the Pathels plus.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Two and a half.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Nothing quite like two sub five hundred teams playing one
another in December with playoff implications on the line.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
It's becoming the AFC North.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
We used to have a proper division, the toughest in
the NFL. This year, the AFC North is kind of
like Station Square. I swear it was great, just like
a year ago.
Speaker 12 (38:11):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (38:12):
These two teams already met once on Thanksgiving when Lamar
and Company burned it up five times on route to
a thirty two to fourteen shellacking in Burrows Return.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
And now it's desperation time in Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Last week's loss to the Steelers means the Ravens need
this win like Pat McAfee needs a throat lozenge.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
The Ravens lose this.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
One, and their playoff hopes are slimmer than one of
the stars of the movie Wicked. And while there's plenty
of time to plenty of blame, rather to go around
Harball's doing that thing where he holds one hand up
as a shield, and then behind that he points at Lamar.
Lamar's missed a bunch of practice because of injuries, and
it sounds like Harms ain't too thrilled about it.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
He told reporters.
Speaker 15 (38:51):
Quote, if it's not the best thing to practice because
you want to get your body right, I think you
have to respect that as a coach, So I respect
Lamar and his judgment.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Translation, why won't you practice, you lazy wuss. Lamar's completion
percentage has been under sixty the last five games straight,
and the Ravens d gave up a bunch of big
plays to the Steelers, who aren't exactly known for that
kind of thing. How do you think the fair against
Burrow and the boys, who routinely gashed defenses. Joey b
at four touchdown passes last week against Buffalo. Schrrey threw
(39:23):
a couple of picks back to back, one of the
pick six, but.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
It was a blizzard.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
If not for that, the Bengals get out of Buffalo
to win, and they're the ones we're worried about. And yes,
I saw the press conference where Joe Burrow said yesterday
he's not been having fun and contemplates whether or not
to keep playing. Yes, it seemed like a football suicide.
Note No, it's not exactly the stuff that makes you
want to run into a battle with him like Braveheart.
But Joe's a gamer, and that Baltimore secondary is gonna
(39:47):
leave some big windows for MOPI Joe, that'll gonna be
too juicy to pass up. Take Burrow and over passing
yards on Sunday, and like Jethro Tall, I'm going bomb
goals in the jaw.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Dolphins up these Steelers minus three the main event Monday night.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel looks like the dude at the
Apple store who condescendingly asks you if you tried turning
your phone off and back on again before he attempts
to fix it, losing to McDaniel's like getting dunked on
by Muggsy Bogues.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
It could happen, you just don't waned to happen to you.
The credit where credits do.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
He's turned this team around in short order, and while
everyone else was calling for the head Dolphins job, McDaniel.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Said, eh, eh.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
The Dolphins are hoping to ride the A chain to
an upset win over the Steelers Devon A chain. That is,
if the Steelers run defense is as bad as it
was against the Bills, they will not only won't be
able to stop a chain, they won't be able to
stop the b chain or the Sea chain.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
And if Derek Harmon doesn't.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Play on Monday Night, the Steelers are gonna need my
mom to start a prayer chain for their run defense.
And that's not as hopeless as you might think. My
mom said, they pray to missus Chanley's goiter last month,
so anything's possible. In the nine games Harmon has played
this year, the Steelers have only allowed an average of
ninety six yards rushing per game. In the four games
Harmon didn't play, Steelers fans nearly tore the stadium apart,
(41:14):
called for Tomlin's job and boots sticks. Jeremy Renner didn't
run over as bad as the harmonless Steelers do. The
other big storyline in this one is Fitzpatrick's revenge. No,
I'm not talking about green diarrhea you get after Saint
Patty's day pay.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Talking about former Steeler safety MIKEA.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Fitzpatrick returning to Akrischer Stadium for the first time since
being traded back to the Dolphins. The Steelers gave up
a first round pick for Maca in twenty nineteen, which
allowed us to enjoy Duck Hodges to quack his way
into our hearts with a three and three record as
a starter that made us miss out on Justin Herbert
in the draft the next year, which, look it's worth it, Okay,
The Duck year was so much fun. It was like
(41:56):
taking a semester at college because you party your balls off.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
We weren't making memory. He's there. Mink has always honked
off about something.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
One time, bitching so much at Tarrell Austin when he
was hurt, he got Toma to call time out and
change the defense for a game winning interception against the Packers.
He famously complained that the Steelers had a work ethic
problem or frame we hear more often than jingle bells
this time of the year, by the way, and Mike
Tomlin labeled him ornery and sent him back to the
team from which they acquired, Miami, the NFL equivalent of
(42:26):
being lost luggage a pointless, circuitous journey. Steeler fans always
complained Minca didn't make enough splash plays, and his defenders
would tell you, we have to appreciate the plays that
Minca didn't make, like he was playing jazz instead of football.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
So MinC is revenge, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Temperatures are expected to be in the teens and Tua
is oh for lifetime.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
When the temperatures are under forty six degrees.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Steelers just need to do the football equivalent of taking
a modium load.
Speaker 12 (42:53):
Up against the runs and.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Watch Tua go free and out.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Tomlin's gonna send dork boy in his vap pens back
to Florida and then smoke stuggies with Jay Lazer and
Brett Michaels all night long. Steelers flay the Dolphins take
the good guys.
Speaker 5 (43:10):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I guarantee the possible winner for you this week and
courtesy of the DV morning show.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
Oh Rick c Back joints. That's nice.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
During football season, people make clutch plays on the Bette
Park's casino and sportsbook app, like Marissa up early making
snacks

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.
