Speaker 1 (00:18):
W DV eight Pittsburgh, an iHeartRadio station, guaranteed Human.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
We were gifted and ELF on a shelf many many
years ago and never implemented.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's in the box.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
And at this point, because of social media, Edi has
told me that she has no interest in ELF on
the shelf. I certainly never ruined it for other kids,
but she's seen too much and she now has told
me that, you know, she's a little.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Suspect on the whole concept.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
And I told her that the reason why I never
opened the box is because I don't believe in a
police state and I don't want to bring that surveilance
in to our home.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's not nice.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
I mean, the National Guard is in the kitchen.

Speaker 6 (01:07):
Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 7 (01:11):
Yeah, and we're joined today by fam Joey Bartnick is
with us. Joe Bartnick, Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 8 (01:17):
What you now?

Speaker 5 (01:19):
And Randy, great to see you folks. Yeah. So here's
the thing. You are. You're dressed to travel, you're hitting
the road.

Speaker 7 (01:26):
You're doing a stand up this weekend in Boston, but
you're coming back to do the big Matt Light ugly
Christmas sweater.

Speaker 9 (01:33):
Yeah, right, and if anyone wants to donate me in
ugly Christmas sweater, I'm available on Saturday. You don't have one, no,
because I've been in California for thirty years, I have
like one nice sweat.

Speaker 7 (01:45):
So there's a way to cheat because Amazon like sells them, right,
they have crappy sweaters that you can just order, but
like they're like, you know, ridiculous ugly Christmas sweaters. But
I feel like that's cheating. I think you got to
go to a good will and really come up with
an old an oldie, but a goodie.

Speaker 6 (02:05):
That's what I'm gonna try to do in Boston.

Speaker 9 (02:06):
I just I really wanted one of those like hull
Cogan ones, but I think they're too precious to be
at a good will.

Speaker 7 (02:12):
Hul Cogan ones. Which one is that? What do you mean?

Speaker 9 (02:14):
You know, like the Christmas sweater it has like hul
Cogan on the front of right, Yeah, something really funny. Yeah,
just a horrible sweater. Yeah, you know, but we'll see.
I have I have a few days to pick it up,
but it'd be fun.

Speaker 7 (02:26):
Well, it has to be something that you can wear
on stage two.

Speaker 9 (02:30):
Yeah, well, I what would be the difference in public
or nothing, which is to say that you need to
move around a little bit. Yeah, somebody, it can't be
like this shirt got a little tight. I was actually
gonna wear a difference. That's what happened. When you go
to Danny's with your buddy, it's like the next day
you're like a little bit tight in the shirt.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
So you had a buddy in town last night.

Speaker 9 (02:49):
Yeah, my buddy, Jack Murray, one of my oldest friends.
I met him like thirty some years ago. He was
a He came into my well as a waiter and
I was a bartender at a Mexican rest to run
in Phoenix, Arizona.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Dude, you did time everywhere. It's hilarious. I don't even
know you lived in Phoenix. For Arizona is doing time?

Speaker 9 (03:09):
Yeah, well yeah, you know Scottsdale. Yeah yeah no. So yeah,
it was funny because not too many people. I went
out there screw around a little bit and not too
many people. It's more like I'm not a tennis golf guy,
which is Arizona right especially there, especially like Scottsdale. So

(03:31):
he just came in my well and I'm like, hey man,
you're cool, and literally, well that's how I'm at BEV.

Speaker 7 (03:38):
You know, he became my best buddy and I just
bellied up to the bar and he was the bartender,
and then we became friends for twenty five years.

Speaker 9 (03:43):
And at that point, I had like a speck of
weed left, that's all I had on earth, and I'm like,
I'll smoke it with this dude, why not sure? And
then boom. He then moved in with me like a
few months later. Well you guys move fast, Yes, yes, yes,
we'll me and my buddy Bob Bonus, who might be
listening to this. And it's funny because you know when
people move in. He he literally just stayed on my

(04:04):
couch obviously, but you know when people move in those days,
it was like your futon and your CDs. Yes, he
literally moved in a mountain bike without tires.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
His first four objects.

Speaker 9 (04:18):
A mountain bike without tires's a frame, yeah, a architectural easel.
He's not an architect someday, snowboard without bindings.

Speaker 7 (04:32):
Okay, so, and four bald.

Speaker 9 (04:36):
Snow tires in Arizona. That's what he brought to Now,
that's what he brought in the first four things.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
Any explanation for I mean, now the snowboard, okay, but
an easel for architecture when he's not an architect, no
explanation for well, you know.

Speaker 9 (04:55):
And by then I knew him, so I knew it
was just bizarre that he's just a quirky dude.

Speaker 6 (04:59):
Yeah, quirky. It's funny.

Speaker 9 (05:00):
And then when I moved to San Francisco a couple
of years later, he had moved different parts of the country.
He came back lived with me in San Francisco on
a couch, actually shared a couch with another like we
had so many people's living in my apartment on Eighth Street.
Now he's literally a real estate mogul.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (05:20):
Has been one of the nicest houses on Quite Hill
by Koite Tower.

Speaker 7 (05:24):
So in the Bay Area, this is rarefied air.

Speaker 9 (05:29):
He literally has one. And his view overlooks the Bay
Bridge and the Golden three blocks downhill. He's right in
the heart of North Beach, like he's in one of
the most golden places on earth.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
I do.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I do love it there so much.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
It is there's something about when I'm in San Francisco,
and I kind of feel this way just about the
whole Pacific Northwest too, not that San Francisco is the
Pacific Northwest, but those two places specifically, there's something about
the air there. I feel like I'm supposed to be there,
you know what i mean. And I'm like, oh, I'm home.
This is where I'm supposed to be. I don't know why,
but it's just those places call.

Speaker 9 (06:05):
Me man, I mean, same thing. This is other than Pittsburgh.
It's the most place I I mean, I feel at
home in San Francisco.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
That's what I feel like. Yeah, well, Pittsburgh is like
a glove.

Speaker 9 (06:14):
Yeah, you know, it's you know, except when I'm trying
to drive around, I forget where I'm going.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Wait, so you took him to Danny's last night. You're like,
welcome to Pittsburgh. We got to go get a sub Well.

Speaker 6 (06:24):
They're like, where do you want to go?

Speaker 9 (06:25):
And I literally said, I go we can go here.
We can go here, you know my favorite sandwich and
just a great place, great on it.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
It's the best.

Speaker 9 (06:32):
Or we can go to Premats, which I also love,
like because you know, his girlfriend's from his girlfriend is
from the Ukraine. So I'm like, if you see anything
about Pittsburgh, you're gonna see a sandwich with French fries
and coastal on it and I go, but you know,
I'll take you down to the Strip, which is one
of my favorite places to be. Yes, but you know

(06:53):
at seven thirty at night, it's not going to be
like the Strip. No, no, wait till Saturday morning, right
or just Friday? Yeah, any morning you want Penning Back
to be open. So I'm like, so, I'm like, well,
let's we get to Danny's. And then we went around.
It's some road, some road was closed where I had
to go. So I wanted to go through the tunnel
where you get like the big boom the bon Jovi. Yeah,

(07:14):
like the big when you saw it changes. So we
did that. It blew him away. We went to the
North Side, in total north Side fashion. Had to drink
and they had a couple of Manhattans, and of course
of the ladies like, we don't have any cherries.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
I'm like, that's they didn't make too many. Man He
went to the North Side, didn't anywhere. No, well, this
this is like the least.

Speaker 8 (07:35):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
No.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
I I went to the Government Center. I mean, I
love the Government Center. Not where I would go for Manhattan.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
Yeah, well I know, but you know they I mean, well, well, no,
not at all.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
We're just you know, we just drink. They drink whiskey.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
I'm still fighting the gout, so I'm like I had like,
you're still dealing with the gout, dude. I'll tell you
what I want to do a countdown. I just like
count how many days? But this is the best. And
then because I won't take about the about Washington. We
had two drinks there though, but the man were great.
They're great, Like I like the whole record store aspect,
it's awesome. I didn't know that it was closed on

(08:13):
the week nights earlier. The records the place is great.

Speaker 9 (08:17):
And I want an excuse to go through the tunnel
that way and then go up to Mount Washington and
Mount Washington. It was a bit nippy. I have this
beautiful lady from the Ukraine. She lasted six seconds out.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Of the car.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah, Ukraine's not like Jamaica.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
The Ukraine.

Speaker 9 (08:35):
I mean it's like I thought, you like walked in
barefoot to fight Stalin. Right, I know you couldn't take
a breeze about Washington. Get in the car, take the picture,
Get in the car right. Yeah, Oh man, that's all.
That's a nice little tour on a on a Wednesday night.

Speaker 6 (08:53):
No, they were happy. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (08:55):
Then and then you know, my girlfriends like you are
the best tour guide for Pittsburgh.

Speaker 7 (09:00):
Well you what you do is you go to the
place that you won't go to, a place you'll find
in a brochure. You take them to the real Pittsburgh,
right like you took them to East Ohio Street for
crying out loud, you know, north Side. You know, like, yeah,
that's a great place. It's awesome. It's just not where
people were like, oh, you're in from the Ukraine. Let
me take you down, you know.

Speaker 9 (09:21):
Because I mean my naturistic is to go to the
South Side, but not on a Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
Well anymore, you mentioned the Strip and I was there
this weekend.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Me like, I think I had my first I think
I'm so old now.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
I had my first old man lunch with two of
my buddies where we had like that we were sitting
around and like you know, we had lunch and then
ordered more beers and just sat there drinking and I'm like, guys,
we're really close to this just being coffee and us
bitching about the world, you know, and like we this
is gonna get moved to a Panera pretty soon.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
We don't watch it.

Speaker 7 (09:53):
But we're sitting there talking about what makes the strip
great and why we love the strip, and how it's
inconceivable to me that that is not the place that
everybody wants to go all the time, you know, the
fact that it closes down kind of, you know, except
for the terminal. Terminal stays open, but like the other stuff,
because it's an open market, I get it. But like

(10:15):
to me, when you have friends in from out of
town to not make a point of And then we're
getting up at eight o'clock and we're going down to
the strip and we're getting coffee, and we're gonna get
some piscatti and we're gonna you know, walk around, and
we're gonna shop for you know, dinner, and then we're
gonna get lunch after that, and we're gonna have a
couple of beers. And it's so fun down there, and

(10:39):
the food, like the shopping down there is so unique.
It really is one of the coolest places in the
country to hang out. You are absolutely right, because I
took my girlfriend there her first time here, and we
spent like five hours yet there, I mean last day,
and I went in every shop.

Speaker 9 (10:57):
Oh yeah, they're all cool. Nicknack store, the kitchen store,
this spice store.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
Like if I coffee, I buy stuff there.

Speaker 7 (11:05):
I'm like, I walk home and I have like four
pounds of coffee, a bunch of roasted peanuts that I'll
get from Presco George. You're like every every place you're
going to get one thing. You know, right, it's awesome.
But if it was like a strip mall or a mall,
I wouldn't go to any of those stores. I walk
to the Apple Store, I leave. Yeah, it's like that's it.

Speaker 9 (11:24):
But there you go around and plus just the whole
fact that like, oh you want a stealer sweater or
a penguin hat, well that's where we're going, you know.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
And you know, and you can't beat pen Mac. That's
just the best.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
Pen Mac is one of the best places we over Thanksgiving.
I was in charge of doing a like the Wednesday
night dinner and we had like twenty people and I'm like,
I'm not sure if I have enough food. So got
frozen lasagnas from pen Mac as an emergent and I go.
I got emergency lasagnas. My ex wife used to bring.

(11:57):
That place is when I would go to eat emergency.

Speaker 9 (12:00):
Yeah, just in case, like hey there's not enough food here,
Like let's have a lasagna homemade.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
She'd have one like in the car or in a
cooler or something, or just like always.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Heavy, bring it in.

Speaker 7 (12:10):
You just bring a lazaangnia wherever you went.

Speaker 9 (12:12):
Yeah, I love that Italian. No, but I you know,
she she learned how to make Italian. She converted.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, yeah, I'm Italian, and I'm always like somebody's gonna
blow it, I'll bring something.

Speaker 7 (12:23):
Yes, I never think of you as Italian. I know
that you're Italian, but you don't wear your Italian. It's
in your attitude, in your It's in your gumption.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Nervous cleaning, making too much food. It's just embedded in her.

Speaker 9 (12:37):
Warmth feels Italian though I always feel her warm abby. Yeah,
that's the I mean, no one wears it like I do,
because you literally wear it. You have a So you
need to talk.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
About this yet.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
Joe Bartnick sent me the mock up for a pizza
box that he's going to be on.

Speaker 10 (13:04):
Now.

Speaker 7 (13:04):
I've always said you're the Italian mascot of Pittsburgh, but
now this is really taking it to a new level.

Speaker 9 (13:10):
Yes, Danny's, and I'm not here the plug there's I
don't care.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
I know.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
I'm just saying it is a legendary place.

Speaker 9 (13:17):
Yes, I'm just I hate to think, you know, because
they're so good to me that they just surprised me
one day and they go, here's what we're doing, and
they put him me on a pizza box. McAfee's a
big fan of that place too, so so he's a
Rudies guy. Actually, I think is it Rudy's or Danny's.
Always get those two confused. Well, you know, I think
I tell you out school. He sends Dennis Miller the Hogies. Wow,

(13:39):
oh okay, yeah, that makes sense yeah to me. But
Dennis Miller's not on the box.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
You're on the box yet, it's coming out, okay, when.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
I know, my Holly, do say anything until the check clears.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I know we're going to get that bump though. We're
making it.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
We're making that happen, all right. So when is it
supposed to be?

Speaker 11 (14:03):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (14:04):
When you order a pizza from Dandy's, it will be
Joe Bartnick on the box.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
I think March or April. Oh dude, I can't wait.

Speaker 12 (14:11):
On the guy.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
The picture is perfect too.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
It's such a perfect Joe Bartnick like celebratory pose.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
Yeah, it would be great. I mean, you know your.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Pops would have absolutely loved it. Oh my god, Oh yeah,
oh absolutely, yeah.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
Yeah, that has to feel kind of good. What does
Anne think about what your mom think about? You know,
my mom is like, you know, just don't eat too much.
I was getting this picture of your mom knocking food
out of your hands all the time because she's very
worried about your you know, a propensity to over stimulate.

Speaker 9 (14:44):
I had an extra slice of pizza on my birthday
just I was left. My mom looked at my girlfriend
and goes, we'll have the cake tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's so hilarious.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
We'll have the cake tomorrow. Somebody, somebody's ruined the cake.
We won't say who.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
He won't enjoy it.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Yeah, that's tomorrow. That's what's so funny about my mother.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
She's an inverse because it's like she's Italian, so she
wants to feed everybody, but then she has to watch
what I eat.

Speaker 7 (15:20):
She she's she's Mama bearing you through all of this.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Is you know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (15:24):
It is a caring thing that she's doing because it's
not as if you know, this isn't out of nowhere.
She's concerned for your health, right issues, Oh every.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
I have a million health issues.

Speaker 13 (15:35):
But here's literally but I don't want to paint and
and some like you know, because there are those moms
who are like, I don't want you to have an
ounce of fat on you, like they want their kids
to look like Ariana Grande.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
You know, yeah, that's not your mom. Your mom is like,
I don't die, Joey, don't die it right, yeah?

Speaker 9 (15:50):

Speaker 7 (20:40):
Hi. How our pal Joe Barnik live in studio with
us this morning and micro Suiter now with your sports
here on the DV morning show mic.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
Sports Ub brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance. It is
a hockey night in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 16 (20:52):
The Penguins home stand continues seven o'clock tonight down at
the rink, the Penns and the Montreal Canadians. Pittsburgh checking
it at fourteen, seven and seven for thirty five points.
The Canadians are fifteen eleven and three for thirty three points.
And that gives you a little snapshot of what things
are like in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins right now

(21:13):
are the first wild card. The Canadians are the third
team on the outside looking in, and those two are
separated by two points.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
Pens up some.

Speaker 16 (21:22):
Games in hand on most everybody, but it's tight and
the points are precious, and I am still shaking my
head over how they found the way to lose that
Anaheim game.

Speaker 9 (21:33):
Yeah, we talked about it a couple says Ago. I
literally whenever seventeen seconds left, the people were already like
it's done.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
They go.

Speaker 9 (21:40):
Stranger things have happened game wide at home. They almost
blew the same exact scenario. They got a power play
because they they tackled our empty net guy boom, Oh,
let's just come down the ice and make Jory pull
one out.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
Of his have a hat to save it. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
I was gonna text you, and then I thought better
of it because I know you don't like texts during
the game, Jinxes.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yes, and you know what, And I did text one
person Okay, there he go. It's your fault.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
That's the way I.

Speaker 9 (22:10):
Thought of it immediately. But it wasn't even about this
game in particular. It was me and Andy working out
when we're gonna do puck off.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
Well, shame on you, Joe Bartnick, that one's on you.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
I know, And shame on Dann News.

Speaker 16 (22:22):
What are Carlson and Latang doing out there together at
that juncture?

Speaker 9 (22:27):
That is just Yeah, you gotta be smarter than that.
Isn't it funny that you'd rather see Graves out there
than the tang.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
Well try to protect the lead.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah, I mean the tang is gonna blow this season.

Speaker 16 (22:38):
If I need a goal, then maybe I think of
it differently. But that's that's the first time I think
that music looked like a first year guy that you
wonder if he's up to this.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
Yeah, but to this point, I have no reason to
believe that he doesn't just chalk that up to.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
A learning experience and not do it again. You know
what I mean.

Speaker 7 (22:54):
It's like, if this becomes a repeat a Fender situation
where he is his head is in the clouds a
little bit in situational hockey, then that's different.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
For now.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
You chalk it up to like inexperience, and all right,
learn from it and move on.

Speaker 16 (23:08):
Although they are starting to blow leads with regularity, not
necessarily in that fashion, but they're letting games get away.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
They are for the most part.

Speaker 16 (23:15):
They've been playing responsible, sounds, structured hockey.

Speaker 6 (23:18):
Why are they not finishing?

Speaker 9 (23:20):
I thought the bigger coaching mistake is when he had
mant that out on the four on three. I thought,
you gotta get a guy that's gonna move the puck.
You know, I would have had Novak out there. I
would have had the tang out there for that. That's
a better spot for him than holding a lead.

Speaker 16 (23:37):
Need a goal then yeah, we shall see Pens in
the Canadians tonight down at the Rink. Thursday Night football
Tonight the Falcons at the Buccaneers. Atlanta's four nine. Tampa
is seven and six in the NFL. Doing some schedule
flexing yesterday, the Ravens are going to play the Packers.
That's their second to last opponent in the regular season.

(23:58):
They're now going to play on Saturday, December the twenty seventh,
at eight pm. So Baltimore is going to have a
short week after visiting New England on December the twenty first,
and then extra rest before playing the Steelers whenever they
get around to announcing when the regular season finale will
be played. Right now, we just know what weekend it's

(24:18):
going to be on. But you know, gain a little,
lose a little in terms of being on the same
rest and the same schedule and the same routine. University
of Michigan's looking for a new football coach. Searn Moore
reportedly in custy in the Washington County jail last night

(24:41):
as the suspect in an alleged assault. This all occurred
just hours after Moore was fired for what the university
categorized as quote inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
So, I mean, this was everywhere. This was unavoidable yesterday,
and there are tragic circumstances to it, no doubt about it.
But like the fact that it went from oh man,
what a scandal in a few hours too, and now
he's been arrested for breaking into the staffers home, threatening
her life, in his life, It's like this just went

(25:14):
up a few notches and it is wild for the
University of Michigan to once again be embroiled in a
controverty not even it's not a contra there's nothing controversial
about it. That is to say, like, this is scandalous
on a level that a lot of times it takes
many many years to recover from, and nobody ever forgets.

Speaker 9 (25:37):
You gotta be the Ohio state to get away with that,
that's right, that's right.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Yeah, you want to do that. You gotta beat the Buckeyes.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:45):
You know.

Speaker 16 (25:46):
The funny part is there's a time when everything you
just said was true, and I don't believe it is
any longer, I think they wind up with Caitlin the
boor from Alabama.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
They just sweeped us under the rug and it was
the probably better off. We'll see. Would you leave Alabama
if you get fired? Yeah, I guess for Michigan. Yeah,
you're asking me.

Speaker 16 (26:07):
Yeah, no, but that's I'm not the guy to ask
about whether the Michigan job is attractive.

Speaker 9 (26:13):
I would because kids in Michigan, you only got to
be one team. Now, Oregon's good, okay, and you get
Southern Southern Califorini Southern cas going to be a monster
all the percentage with only a couple of teams in
the conference. The three teams that can they can obviously
be every year. Yeah, Indiana okay, Well, Jacob's pissed. No,

(26:35):
but I mean that's I mean, let's wait for five years.
Let's see if Signette's still doing it. I mean, I'm
talking about programs that you by then Pat Fitzgerald will
have MSU humming like an SEC machine. Sure, sure, yeah,
I know one thing though, it's not the SCC where
like you know, you don't get four layups every year.
There's no layups in the SEC. Yeah, I don't know

(26:58):
about that, Well, well you go, I mean who I mean,
Miss Mississippi, like Auto can turn it around in a heartbeat.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
Ole miss turned it around in two years, like these
things happened about next year. Well they're screwed. But that's
what I'm saying. But so is Michigan.

Speaker 16 (27:12):
I just think the gap between the SEC and everybody
else has narrowed considerably now that everybody's paying their players.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
At the top.

Speaker 8 (27:20):
But not it.

Speaker 9 (27:20):
I mean I don't want to. I mean Florida was
whatever five and four and five. They bear the Rutgers.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
You know, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (27:28):
You can get your ass kicked in North Jersey in November. No,
not not on the street corners. I mean no, that's
it's perception.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
I mean.

Speaker 16 (27:39):
I said, you know five years ago. Absolutely, I think
it's I think it's changing. And also if he comes
to morn Nick Saban, you know, Alabama used to rule
the world with an iron.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
Fist, right, but Georgia is still Georgia. I mean there's
some I don't know.

Speaker 9 (27:52):
I think you go to Michigan, you don't break it
entering your last ten for your last ten years. You
go to Alabama and you lose two iron Bowls and
you're playing and you're coaching that you know, Southwest Mississippi steam.

Speaker 7 (28:05):
It is funny though. People were talking about the fact
that like Saban was the master. Saban was the master
at paying guys like in the back door, you know
what I mean. And now they're all getting paid in
the front door. So it doesn't matter.

Speaker 9 (28:20):
But John Wooden, Saint Jesus John Wooden, they paid players.
Everybody plays players. What it did was Joe Peturner look at.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
Him, Well you can't anymore.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
He took the statue down. You can't look at him.

Speaker 16 (28:38):
Due Kde falls at Boise State eighty six to sixty four.
Dukes are six and four on the season. That's sports,
all right.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Abby's got your news Top of the Hour, a multi
million dollar makeover to the AMC waterfront that we'll talk about.

Speaker 3 (28:51):

(29:59):
Rob James from The Clarks said, Hey, he wanted to
do something for people who were food insecure this holiday season,
and he came up with a real just great idea here.

Speaker 2 (30:10):

Speaker 7 (31:06):
Feed the burg which I love because it reminds me
of do they know it's Christmas?

Speaker 6 (31:11):
Right?

Speaker 17 (31:11):
Does it?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Keep putting it in your head every single every single time?

Speaker 7 (31:16):
So I called it up and played it. Do you
know they redid the song because this is the remake.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
I don't remember this.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Let's say.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
This is from twenty fourteen. Why did they redo it?
That would be like redoing We Are the World.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
That's Alicia. Alicia?

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Wait, who is that?

Speaker 5 (31:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (31:34):
They're all the UK artists, never gonna know. I mean
the original, this is the original one.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Give me that one?

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Yeah, that in the one I thought I was playing
here my apologist.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
I don't I don't want think.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
It starts with I don't give me.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
The old man of Panera either, but give me the
old one.

Speaker 7 (31:49):
We'll join us for Feedbburg next Friday night, December nineteenth
at mister Small's a great cause and a good time
will be had by all. And you can see Abby's band,
Tiny Wars, Tiny Wars Crush It Killed and it's so cool,
kill It kick ass.

Speaker 9 (32:01):
That's weird how they added that little dance beat to
the bottom of that song. Yeah, they do that the
hockey games. Now have you noticed that mic where there'll
be like a metal song, but they'll add some hip
hop elements to it. To everyone together, it's like it's
just garbage. It's like the kid Rock do this.

Speaker 16 (32:19):
You play one or the other, Yeah, and then maybe
switch them up as you go.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
Steelers have the Dolphins on Monday night, but the division
has a big game for the AFC North, the Ravens
and the Bengals in Cincinnati. And Joe burrow Man, I
don't know. He's not in a good place. Check out
this press conference, this answer he gives yesterday when he's
asked about, you know, coming back from injury, and his

(32:44):
demeanor is not great, and then he starts talking about
not having fun.

Speaker 11 (32:50):
Changed the way that you threw the game.

Speaker 18 (32:57):
No, it certainly doesn't change my desire to win. You know,
if I want to, if I want to keep doing this,
I have to have fun doing it.

Speaker 14 (33:13):
Uh.

Speaker 19 (33:15):
You know, I've been through a lot, and if it's
not fun, then what am I doing it for?

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Oh? That's the money I'm trying to.

Speaker 16 (33:27):
It's difficult to have fun given the season, what you've
been through, physically, emotionally, all of it.

Speaker 19 (33:33):
Is it tough? Certainly?

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Did you have fun playing with you? I mean, how
much of it was fun before?

Speaker 8 (33:42):
Wins always fun?

Speaker 16 (33:42):
But in general was it fun before you got hurt?

Speaker 7 (33:47):
Did you view it that way?

Speaker 19 (33:49):
I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say I have viewed it
that way. I think what was the changing point? Changing point?

Speaker 6 (33:58):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 19 (33:59):
I'm not sure there is.

Speaker 6 (34:00):
The losing throwing the pick six that lost the games.

Speaker 18 (34:03):
To a moment or time. It's just a reflection, reflection
on a lot of things that I've done and been through.

Speaker 19 (34:13):
In my career.

Speaker 18 (34:14):
I think I've been through more than most and it's
certainly not easy on the brain or the body.

Speaker 19 (34:23):
So it's trying of if I'm doing it again.

Speaker 6 (34:27):
You talked if you seem.

Speaker 8 (34:29):
Like something on the mind.

Speaker 16 (34:32):
Maybe I'm written too much into it, but it seemed frustrated.

Speaker 19 (34:36):
There's a lot of things going on right now. A
lot of things going on right now, all related personally,
all the both.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Oh okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Somebody's girlfriend broke up with them because she wasn't impressed
that he bought the batmobile.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
It didn't work.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
Are you having fun with the batmobile?

Speaker 8 (34:54):
No? No?

Speaker 7 (34:54):
And what's the point of having the batmobile if I
can't enjoy it? It turns out I'm not allowed to
go self crimes. I thought I was allowed to go
solve crimes.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
That was weird. That was exceptionally weird.

Speaker 7 (35:06):
Put yourself in the place of a Bengals fan watching
and listen to that his body language. Like watching it
gives you an even better perspective on how weird it
is because his demeanor is defeated.

Speaker 16 (35:19):
He's always been a little goofy, but kind of in
an eccentric way, not a negative.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
He he looks clinically depressed.

Speaker 16 (35:26):
Yeah, and he introduces the element of I might not
continue to play. Yes, if I'm going to continue, is
there some doubt You're still a young guy?

Speaker 6 (35:34):
Like what's going on?

Speaker 7 (35:35):
But I think he came up with a new Bengals
slogan for a twenty twenty six season. If it isn't fun,
what are we doing this for Bengals football?

Speaker 6 (35:44):
Rumble in the jungle?

Speaker 7 (35:46):
That was odd, very very odd. If your franchise quarterback
is talking like that, there is trouble a foot mic,
no question.

Speaker 16 (35:55):
And that might mean from a teammate. And I'm here
and that I'm not as fired up to go play
raivements as I might have been.

Speaker 7 (36:01):
Right, I'm I'm a little pissed that I didn't see
that until after I already wrote the three and out
segments today because I kind of like Burrow on Sunday.
I actually thought they were gonna win this one, And
now I wonder if I had it wrong all along,
because that doesn't sound like a guy who's ready to
you know, brave heart them into battle.

Speaker 16 (36:22):
It does not sounds like a guy who's ready to
just go.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
R run away.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
Abby's got your news coming up next, we'll talk about.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
The makeover to the AMC Waterfront, and we do have
some stressful said news here about Andy Dick, who is
in the news for the wrong reasons.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
Our buddy Rick c Back will be live in studio
with us promoting his new Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh.
Episode four is out uh on QED tonight and he
excuse to hang out with Rick, Plus Missy Matthews talks Steelers,
Guy Junker and more.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
Coming up, It's.

Speaker 15 (36:54):
Time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought to
you by iron Workers Local Union number three. Don't go
to the office if they build it and Steelers Pro
Shop get it direct from the team at shop dot
Steelers dot com.

Speaker 8 (37:06):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
With the Steeersman.

Speaker 20 (37:08):
On Sunday in Baltimore, they took control of the Ancy
North Division.

Speaker 14 (37:11):
Now.

Speaker 20 (37:11):
The first step and keeping it in their control and
ultimately winning it is beating the Miami Dolphins on Monday
Night football. If Mike thomlins track record on Monday Night
is any indication, that shouldn't be a problem for the Steelers.
Coach Mike Tomlin has a twenty one and three record
on Monday Night Football, and the Steelers in general have
won twenty two straight home games on Monday Night. That
being said, making it twenty three straight won't be as
easy as it may have seemed a couple of months

(37:32):
ago when Miami was one and six, but they've gone
five to one since then, including winning four straight games.
Over that four game streak, the Dolphins defense has given
up just thirteen point three points per game, the best
in the league during that stretch. Also contributing to Miami's
late season surge is a powerful running attack on offense
led by Starbuck Devin ah chan A. Chane is the

(37:53):
NFL's third leading rusher with one and twenty six yards,
and he's extremely explosive, as he leads all backs in
yards per carry five point eight yards per touch. During
their four game winning streaks to Dolphins, I've rushed for
an average of one hundred and ninety two point twenty
five yards and are coming off a two hundred and
thirty nine yard rushing performance against the Jets in They're
win on Sunday.

Speaker 9 (38:11):
I'm Tom Opramen with the Steelers Report Guaranteed Human. My
ex wife used to bring that places when I would
go to eat.

Speaker 6 (38:24):
Emergency.

Speaker 9 (38:26):
Yeah, just in case, like, hey there's not enough food here,
like let's have a lasagna homemade.

Speaker 7 (38:30):
She'd have one, like in in the car or in
a cooler or something or just like.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
Always heavy, bring it in.

Speaker 7 (38:36):
You just bring a lasagna wherever you went.

Speaker 9 (38:38):
Yeah, I love that Italian No, but I you know
she she learned how to make Italian.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
She converted.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Okay, yeah, I'm Italian, and I'm always like somebody's gonna
blow it.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
I'll bring something.

Speaker 7 (38:49):
Yes, I never think of you as Italian. I know
that you're Italian, but you don't wear your Italian. And
it's in your attitude, in your It's in your gumption.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Nervous cleaning, taking too much food. It's just embedded in
A know.

Speaker 9 (39:03):
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 you literally wear it.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Brandy Bellman and the DV more, You're.

Speaker 7 (39:19):
The only guy I know who has a sweatshirt that
has the Italian flag and says.

Speaker 9 (39:23):
Pittsburgh above it. Yeah, it says Pittsburgh Italian. I like
people to know what they're getting into.

Speaker 7 (39:29):
That's true. Hey, we appreciate it. Joe Bartnick hanging out
with us this morning, pack show for you. I'll give
you my three and out my three picture of the weekend.
Coming up at seven forty five. Rick c back at
eight o'clock live in studio. We'll be talking about his
new WQED special Lucky to Live. It's episode four in
that series and Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh that is.

(39:50):
And tonight's episode is about chocolate chops.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
Oh, plus we've got a lot of chocolate shops.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
That sounds sweet.

Speaker 7 (39:59):
And then Missy Matthews, Guy Junker talking Steelers. Abbey's got
your news. Now, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Web Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. Mostly cloudybreezy, and colder today.
A couple of snow showers. I have thirty expect flurries
tonight as well. Quarter of 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

(40:27):
media 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 5 (40:45):
I kind of feel like that is the wrong direction.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
To cut the seats and then really make it like
a living room.

Speaker 21 (40:52):
Yes, why I I because it sort of foments this
atmosphere that people don't necessarily want to be a part of.

Speaker 7 (41:03):
Is it more comfortable for me personally, yes, But it's
like the movie equivalent of people wearing pajamas on a plane.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
I get that, you.

Speaker 6 (41:10):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (41:11):
Like there should be a formality to we're gonna sit
here and absorb this film, you know, not not uncomfortable seats,
but like I don't know how much.

Speaker 9 (41:25):
Yeah Joe Burrow, Yeah, baby, save the money and make
popcorn cheaper.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
There you go, Well, you don't know, you know.

Speaker 9 (41:33):
No one cares about you know, no one cares about
the seat. It just costs too much to go.

Speaker 7 (41:38):
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
could take a Rudi's or a Danny's HOGI in there
if you wanted.

Speaker 9 (41:49):
Sure, but you know it's like, you know, you want
to be able to buy your data popcorn. Sure, Okay,
it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be one hundred dollars a
night I go see the movies. I actually think movie
pop is disgusting.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
I'm not a huge fan. It always makes me sick.

Speaker 7 (42:03):
After all, it's cold, it's cold, and that fake butter
is on it.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
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.

Speaker 9 (42:14):
I'm always stuck eating all of it because whoever I
go with is like they'll have three bites and then
I can't resist popcorn. I know, it's like indion rings.
Everyone's iroion rings, but then I have to eat the.

Speaker 7 (42:24):
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 lick it off the devil's tail.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
What.

Speaker 7 (42:36):
Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to hell if I don't
finish these mashed potatoes.

Speaker 9 (42:40):
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. I guess I'm part of the
problem a little bit.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
I told you I took eighty to see Wicked two
or whatever it's called, which was not enjoyed at all.
But before we went in, I let her pick the seats.
I thought that was gonna 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, cause
I'm like there's nobody like we're we are ahead of
the game here. We can pick any seat in the

(43:13):
theater we want. We don't we want to be like
right in the middle and like right in the center.
And she's like, no, no, no, I want us in the back,
Like why the back? And she's like, so we can
take our shoes off.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
I'm like, right.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
And then before we got there, I'm like, oh, what
kind of concessions are we gonna get? And I'm trying
to like really make the experience a big thing, like.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Ooh, Mommy and Edie Day, what are we gonna do?
And she's like, no, no, no, no, We're gonna go to five below.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
First we get all the snacks and then we're gonna
stuff them in my coat and then we're gonna go in.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
I'm like, are you sixty five?

Speaker 4 (43:44):
But yeah, let's do that.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
That sounds amazing.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
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. I'm imagining
you can take those to your seats. So I don't
know if it's.

Speaker 7 (44:06):
Like much for a movie, I just think it is.
I think we lost the plot doing a lot.

Speaker 6 (44:10):
I just know I like cheap movies.

Speaker 9 (44:12):
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 sounds. But when it was just
a daughter day, you go to the three dollars movie
and boom if it stinks, who cares?

Speaker 6 (44:25):
It was ten bucks? Yeah.

Speaker 9 (44:26):
True, it's just so much the level of like it
was good, Who cares?

Speaker 7 (44:30):
But my gross factor of those the more comfortable they
make it, I think, the nastier it is to go
sit there after someone else did.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
I didn't even think about that. You're not cleaning it.

Speaker 6 (44:41):
They're not cleaning it.

Speaker 7 (44:42):
There's somebody just like drooling on that seat, scratching themselves.
I don't know, something to consider. No, No, we've considering it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
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 uh, they get less
parking spaces, and they're going to be able to take

(45:16):
those spaces and develop that into a different restaurant or
retail space.

Speaker 6 (45:20):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
All right, well more self at the waterfront. Okay, good luck.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
I have not been to the waterfront since the Hateful Eight.

Speaker 7 (45:30):
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 9 (45:34):
I oh, yeah, yeah, you know, and I get lost
every time coming home.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
Streets run, road backs, runt road they like they're lost
coming home. I know you're not from here, don't live here,
and ada how blind?

Speaker 6 (45:46):
I am.

Speaker 7 (45:47):
Yes, Well, you probably shouldn't be driving at night, Joe.

Speaker 9 (45:49):
I know, even last night they were scared driving from
Mount Washington. This is a little slippery outside, like, oh
my god, you know I can't see.

Speaker 7 (45:57):
Yeah, you're mister magoo man. You should not be driving
at night.

Speaker 9 (45:59):
I be driving in the day. I don't like driving.
I need to be in a mass transit city, I am.

Speaker 7 (46:05):
Yeah, I try to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 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 it.

Speaker 6 (46:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (46:14):
I had to take us four hours, although he 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 path bus. Yeah,
it's amazing. I was sitting there like, oh my god,
it's like ninety dollars. All of a sudden the bus
came by them. It's got to get me closer. And

(46:38):
it went right downtown. Boom, take the take the subway
back home.

Speaker 6 (46:41):
Boom.

Speaker 7 (46:42):
Oh so you you took this. You took a bus
downtown and then the tea to Bethel Park. Yes, I
mean it's very roundabout way of getting there, but super cheap.

Speaker 9 (46:52):
But yeah, well, I mean, you know, ninety bucks are
just like I got more time than money.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
Homes.

Speaker 7 (46:57):
Yeah you said it, like like here in a Chicano gang.

Speaker 5 (47:04):
Well that's the line from Colors, Yes homes dude.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
I watched that movie again.

Speaker 7 (47:12):
I'm like that that was a scary time in America
watching like the depiction of Los Angeles, like right around
the Rodney King Riots era.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
It was like, oh my god, wild West out there.

Speaker 7 (47:26):
And 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 9 (47:38):
Well, Wh's really funny, is like how they pretended that
Sean Penn would be like the Mexican Chip would be
cool bang, and Sean Pek.

Speaker 5 (47:47):
Like what a fantasy that is? Well, the other funny thing.

Speaker 7 (47:51):
About it is Don Sheetle is the bad gang mem
Like he's the badass gang leader. You're like, I'm not
scared by on Geeble Now, He's done too many things
that are just you know where he's just delightful.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
Okay, Yeah, I.

Speaker 7 (48:07):
Bad casting in in retrospect, you know, yeah, didn't hold
up all right.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
This is a sad story. I'm sure you guys saw
it circulating yesterday. Andy Dick suffered an apparent overdose alive.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Yes, I mean that's the thing. You're not wrong to
say that, but this.

Speaker 9 (48:24):
Is all I got scared. I'm afraid I was. I
wrote a movie with Andy Dick.

Speaker 7 (48:27):
Did you really say? Wow?

Speaker 5 (48:29):
It would not be released today? And I will say.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
That that's very much in line with his humor and yours.

Speaker 7 (48:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
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 7 (48:48):
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 2 (49:01):
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 we're able to
revive him.

Speaker 9 (49:17):
Well, it's sad on minding levels, but like I know,
his kids, Yeah, that's so it's like, you know, he
sh Andy Dick hahaha, and he's you know, he's Andy Dick.
You know these paragraphs of Wikipedia. But right, but when
you know, like his kids, Sure, it's just it's.

Speaker 7 (49:34):
A little it's a little different because he was and
has been a punchline for a long time.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
And just imagine that's your dad, I know.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Yeah, he's only fifty nine too.

Speaker 7 (49:48):
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 5 (49:55):
And I'm glad they saved him.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yeah, I'm going to move on.

Speaker 7 (50:00):
Uh, because at his peak by the way, super funny
when like the news radio days, like when he was
first coming up, that he was a super funny guy.
The Ben Stillers show all of that. When he was
in his heyday, he was as funny as anybody.

Speaker 9 (50:14):
In a way, he was ahead of his time with
his like sexuality you didn't understand and.

Speaker 7 (50:20):
Yeah, fluid sexuality, yeah, all that stuff his our behavior.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
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 think that he's
had periods of sobriety in his life. He's he's been

(50:46):
in and out of rehabit so for whatever reason that
this is a ghost that is still continuing to haunt him.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Likely even if he is failing, he is trying.

Speaker 9 (50:57):
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 and then all of a
sudden he's like, yeah, come over tomorrow, and then he
disappear for another six months.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
That show base.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Yeah, I hope he figures it out.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Timothy Shallome stirred debate online after boldly praising his own
work in Marty Supreme.

Speaker 7 (51:23):
So I'll let you finish.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
No, no, no, it's it's all right. Listen. He's got
his own approach. But even like when he did his Oscar.

Speaker 7 (51:31):
Speech, he he are we sure he's not doing a
bit as the character from the movie is my question.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
Here's the thing. I'm gonna let you hear it because
this video in the interview.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
The video was kind of wiped from the internet, but
I 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.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Actually does make sense that he's dating kind of Jenner.
But and you hear it, I don't know if it
sounds that bad.

Speaker 22 (52:04):
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 stay it out loud
because the discipline and the work ethic I'm bringing these things.

Speaker 19 (52:20):
I don't want people to take for granted. I don't
want to take for granted.

Speaker 5 (52:24):
I think that's one of those inside thoughts.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
You probably shouldn't say that to people.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
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 you.

Speaker 7 (52:44):
People should appreciate me.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
That's the part that's the inside thought.

Speaker 7 (52:47):
Well, he's got a rich dad, he was brought up
pretty blessed. His sisters and actress too. And she's had
some successes. Yeah, his sister, she's she starred in Mindy
Kaling's HBO show The sex Life Sex Lives of College
Girls or whatever that was called.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
I kind of know what you're talking about. I didn't
watch it.

Speaker 7 (53:08):
Yeah, and she's she's like the female version of Timothy.

Speaker 5 (53:15):
She's a little more.

Speaker 7 (53:18):
Midwestern looking.

Speaker 5 (53:19):
I guess it's just really hard for me.

Speaker 9 (53:22):
Who you know, Hey, no word, I've acted in a
few things, dude, Come on, Old Dad.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
Do you have a star turn in the movie Old Dad?

Speaker 7 (53:30):
Thank You with Bobby Caronavalan uh and Bill Burr.

Speaker 9 (53:33):
Of course, No, yeah, no thanks. And I've done some
other stuff and we're doing stuff, But it's as a Pittsburgher,
it's hard for me to have to pretend.

Speaker 5 (53:42):
That it's work. It's just it's make believe.

Speaker 9 (53:46):
Guardell 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 with people hitting down
with the cage over me, which I have, Like you.

Speaker 6 (53:57):
Know, like, yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 9 (54:01):
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. They get catering three times a day,
like you know, it's so when people act. That's why
might used to be my favorite thing about David Letterman
and then Howard Stern was when they would take the
piss out of actors and actress take themselves too seriously. Yes,

(54:23):
like and that's one of those situations, like dude, how
much work did you put in pretending you were Bob Dylan?

Speaker 6 (54:29):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (54:29):
Oh did you have to listen to a lot of
Bob Dylan Oh?

Speaker 7 (54:33):
Act?

Speaker 6 (54:34):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (54:35):
Like like, oh, your trailer was three feet smaller than
you thought.

Speaker 6 (54:38):
It was gonna be.

Speaker 5 (54:39):
And I hate it because I do think he's good.

Speaker 7 (54:41):
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 9 (54:45):
I'm good, I mean I 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 7 (54:58):
But because the problem is that, yes, 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 digging ditches, And after
a while you just kind of stop doing that, and

(55:19):
then you're just living in the world of people who
are creating things, and you're speaking with this understanding.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
Like I'm giving him the biggest benefit of the.

Speaker 7 (55:28):
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, 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

(55:49):
poll in December. But you can't say that every time,
which is why you don't say the thing. You don't
even say it. You just you exist in that world.
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.

Speaker 9 (56:10):
And I'm not even trying to say, hey, comedians are
these people, but you know he's reciting what somebody else.
He has so many layers of people to fall back
on and blame. Is he really putting him himself out
there like comics do, like you guys do every morning,
like you're putting yourself out to be judged.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
By the.

Speaker 9 (56:31):
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 just is walking
around pretending he's doing make belief.

Speaker 7 (56:43):
No, that's a great point. 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 5 (56:51):
And when you're an actor, it's only your portrayal of
somebody else.

Speaker 7 (56:54):
And then, like you said, there's wardrobe, there's stylists, there's
press agents, there's writers, there's director, there's cinema for cinematographers.
There's all these people who are tasked with making you,
putting you in the.

Speaker 9 (57:06):
Best possible light. Right, that's why you don't say anything,
This is my point. Yeah, no, you just don't say
crap like that.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
The real discipline is allowing others to say that about
your 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 4 (57:28):
So calm down.

Speaker 9 (57:29):
Yeah, I mean, he sprained his shoulder trying to pat
himself on the back.

Speaker 7 (57:35):
I want to get to this next story, so because
we only have time to do that before we go
to the break.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
But it's so damn.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Funny, the Conan O'Brien thing.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
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 of people know from

(58:02):
the SmartLess podcast in which he accused Jason of killing
them and Jason went with it.

Speaker 17 (58:09):
I may bring up a touch of actual This is
real personal subject for you. Is in the family, yep,
my parents. So well, first, let me just say the
timelin because 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 passed away,
and I text you, uh that day or the next day,

(58:31):
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 texted
me back, he killed my dad?

Speaker 6 (58:56):
My dad?

Speaker 23 (58:56):
Can I say, in fairness my dad would have loved
this so so so.

Speaker 17 (59:04):
Uh so, then Baban Babean, I tell Babman this, we're dying.

Speaker 6 (59:09):
We're doing a thing that day.

Speaker 17 (59:10):
So he The next day, Bateman texts you and he says,
Arnette tells me you're on to me. Yes, and ConA
texts Baban. He says, Babman, do yourself a favor, favorite,
turn yourself in. Yeah, two days after your dad passes,

(59:30):
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 after I knew you were
a boss. I said, Bateman is asking for your sister
street of dress.

Speaker 6 (59:49):
Okay to give And you were busy that weekend.

Speaker 17 (59:54):
Like a day and a half later, you texted back,
just seeing this now fantastic six twenty five Boriston Street,
Department twelve seat. Tell Babman to make it look like
a rougher.

Speaker 8 (01:00:08):
You.

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
I swear to God, this is how I grieve.

Speaker 7 (01:00:12):
You know, everyone has their way. I'm right there with them.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Incredible eight million views on that, so I think actually
the message resonated with a lot of people.

Speaker 7 (01:00:21):
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

(01:00:44):
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. Like
you can either be like, this is so sad. You
can be like, did you see.

Speaker 6 (01:00:55):
What he just did?

Speaker 7 (01:00:55):
That was the funniest.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
Exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:01:00):
And it's not really even gallows humor so much as
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
you follow that, I'm saying killed Joe Barnick's hanging out
with us here this morning, and Michael, have your sports
coming up next. We're getting set for Steelers and Dolphins.

(01:01:20):
It's Monday night football. So you get a whole weekend
to yourself, get a lot of stuff done before the holidays.
If you didn't get up your decorations yet, this is
the weekend to do it, and you can just passively
watch football as the Ravens and the Bengals face each other.
I'll give you my three and out on the way
for who to pick this weekend. Ricky Back joining us

Penguins will engage the Canadians with. They've either lost too
straight or they have points in force trade, but two

(01:02:52):
consecutive shootout losses dropping them to zero to five this season.

Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
In such situations, owe for.

Speaker 16 (01:02:59):
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 a bit of an annoying habit.

Speaker 9 (01:03:15):
It isn't trend around the league, though, like a lot
of teams are blowing the leads with the goalie pools.

Speaker 16 (01:03:19):
Oh my god, there was four games just the other
night that got tied up in the closing seconds.

Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
Yes, it happens, It just stinks.

Speaker 16 (01:03:27):
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 6 (01:03:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:03:35):
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 6 (01:03:44):
I think just attack the puck.

Speaker 16 (01:03:46):
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 out.
Every once in a while you blow one and see
the prevet defense in football all the time. A lot
of times it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Speaker 6 (01:04:05):
Oh yeah it was.

Speaker 5 (01:04:06):
That was my One of my dad's biggest pet peeves is.

Speaker 6 (01:04:09):
My mother's too.

Speaker 16 (01:04:10):
My mother used to love to wait for something to
happen and then bitch that they didn't do it the
other way.

Speaker 7 (01:04:17):
That's a mom, But I think that in love with
her son. That's what I'm saying. That applies to a
lot of things outside of it the other way. I
tell you you don't listen po ye.

Speaker 9 (01:04:30):
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 harassed
the guy with the bucket the point. Just send two
guys out there, make him make a play.

Speaker 16 (01:04:42):
It's an interesting, interesting game tonight because uh, I think
they need to bounce back. Yes, absolutely, you know the
two points are big, But.

Speaker 6 (01:04:52):
I think I don't want to.

Speaker 16 (01:04:54):
I don't know if psychologically 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 9 (01:05:01):
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 6 (01:05:06):
Really well in that Anaheim game too, which.

Speaker 9 (01:05:08):
Is Anheims number one on the Pacific. The Dallas game
they played great. Tampa Bay was a wishwah game, but
two years ago, last year, that team lost that game.
Once it went from three to nothingk to three to three,
they would have lost six to three. Gino scores a
big old they you know, it's like they're winning games.
They win the one last.

Speaker 16 (01:05:27):
Year and now they've lost one that nobody's lost in
any years and.

Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
The Canadians tonight.

Speaker 16 (01:05:35):
At the ranks 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 7 (01:05:52):
Weren't you surprised hard about it? 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.
It was like, he's just he wasn't sending a bunch
of people at that 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

(01:06:14):
based on the fact that I would have thought they
could have thrown a kitchen sink on that side and
really scrambled that news brain.

Speaker 16 (01:06:20):
I would have too, though what they did kind of
worked because the Steelers really didn't do much in the
fourth quarter.

Speaker 5 (01:06:25):
Well, they weren't trying to do.

Speaker 16 (01:06:27):
Some of that we prevent 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 tackle David Sharp to the practice squad.
They've placed offensive tackle Calvin Anderson on the reserve injured list,

(01:06:51):
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 Circumstan Answers 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. He has experience, but

(01:07:14):
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 to get
a guy who's beating the Dolphins already. But he only

(01:07:35):
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.
I would imagine he's 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 of offensive tackle falcons at the Buccaneers Tonight Thursday

(01:07:57):
Night Football and the one Steelers fans will have the
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 7 (01:08:10):
Yeah, boy, that is a weird Joe Burrow right now.
If I'm not having fun, what's the point.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
So the internet.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
Rumors are that he's gonna pull and Andrew Luck and retire,
or that he's gonna force a tree.

Speaker 7 (01:08:24):
It feels more like forcing a trade to me.

Speaker 9 (01:08:30):
I'm still taking them this weekend. He's too young to
be the Steelers quarterback next year.

Speaker 7 (01:08:34):
Yeah, way too young, dude. Though that secondary leaves huge windows.
Joe Burrow is gonna have a field day on Sunday
against Baltimore.

Speaker 16 (01:08:43):
Yes, I would imagine that the Ravens will get healthy
offensively as well.

Speaker 7 (01:08:47):
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 Yeah,
that's right, they got a three percent chance at the postseason. Now,
so that's why he's he looks like Charlie Brown right

(01:09:12):
now on the podium. I actually wants the point in anything,
go see Lucy and cheer up, would you.

Speaker 16 (01:09:17):
I wonder if Eddia that has anything to do with this,
because I actually thought the Bengals had a reasonable chance
to beat Buffalo. Now, what gave me, Pafalo, What gave
me pause was Buffalo is usually much better at home
than on the road, and Buffalo was playing at home.
But if the Bengals had won that game, now they're
really in it.

Speaker 7 (01:09:35):
No, No, they I would have played them to win
the AFC North.

Speaker 6 (01:09:40):
Had they won that game. Yes, And so maybe this
is all.

Speaker 16 (01:09:43):
You know, it's been a really grinding, grueling, difficult season
for them.

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
They probably thought, hey, we're still in this.

Speaker 16 (01:09:49):
All we're gonna 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 6 (01:09:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (01:09:59):
I don't know that well, like I said, I think
I think he's his comments and the way he dresses.
He's always been a little bit of a outside the lines, goofy,
eccentric in a engaging.

Speaker 6 (01:10:11):
Entertaining way. I agree this was neither of those things.

Speaker 5 (01:10:14):
Well, I just think that how many years he been there?

Speaker 6 (01:10:16):
Seven?

Speaker 7 (01:10:17):
Yeah, in Cincinnati, there's a six whatever, it is a 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. First year, second year, almost won it. Yeah,
so theoretically it's possible, and yet he's still on the

(01:10:42):
podium sad sacking. It's just not fun driving the batmobile anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:10:50):
What's the point of it all? Like, dude, calm down.

Speaker 6 (01:10:54):
Have some fun.

Speaker 5 (01:10:55):
Pete the Ravens, that's what the money is for.

Speaker 6 (01:10:58):
Ruin their season some more. That'll be fun.

Speaker 7 (01:11:01):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
I well, I'll tackle it in the three and out segment.

I do Joe Barnick's liven studio with us as well.

It's time for our three and Out segment where I
picked three games for you that are guaranteed to probably,
maybe possibly win. It's brought to you by Bette Park
Sportsbook and casino app. Gambling problem Call one eight hundred gambler.
Let's get started, Mike, What am I looking at here?

Speaker 6 (01:13:23):
Game number one The Raiders at the Eagles.

Speaker 7 (01:13:25):
Minus eleven, The Kenny Pickett Revenge Game. 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

(01:13:47):
him into the black hole of 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 bet against Kenny Pickett, yep, and spot him eleven
points this Sunday. Why would you spot Baane eleven points?

(01:14:09):
Because Kenny Pickett is football bane.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
He literally crawled out of the pit.

Speaker 6 (01:14:17):
You merely adopted the doc.

Speaker 12 (01:14:20):
I was traded into it, and then quickly the dark
was like boys hands were small, maybe we should draft
be on the Sun.

Speaker 6 (01:14:26):
And then somebody who was.

Speaker 12 (01:14:27):
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. Now I'm older and wiser,
but mostly older because I graduated when I was like
twenty nine.

Speaker 7 (01:14:41):
So why am I not on the fence about picket?
That's what I'm wondering plus eleven for one thing. The
Eagles are coming off on Monday night, West Coast heartbreaker
that caused even more locker room in fighting. And additionally,
they got one less day of rest than pickets plunderers,
and overall the Eagles are a mes Yes, their Super
Bowl hangover is the football equivalent of Tiger Woods waking

(01:15:04):
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 him
with a nine iron for nailing a pancake waitress. But
don't pull it together and cover against the Raiders right now?
Not necessarily, they dropped three straight. They barely won against
the teams they have beat, not to mention. This is

(01:15:27):
the same Raiders team that kicked a meaningless field goal
last week as time expired, just to cover the spread
and 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 campbellers.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
God bless him.

Speaker 7 (01:15:45):
So unless the temperatures drop so low that Kenny has
to wear two pairs of gloves on Sunday, an actual
possibility for mister doll hands. Take the Raiders and the
Points with Pete Carroll, It's guaranteed backdoor action. Abby. 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 6 (01:16:04):
Next, Ravens at the Pathals plus two and a half.

Speaker 7 (01:16:08):
Nothing quite like two sub five hundred teams playing one
another in December with playoff implications on the line. What's
becoming the AFC North. 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. What happened these two teams

(01:16:30):
already met once on Thanksgiving, when Lamar and company burned
it up five times en route to a thirty two
to fourteen shillaking in Burrows return.

Speaker 5 (01:16:37):
And now it's desperation time in Baltimore.

Speaker 7 (01:16:39):
Last week's loss to the Steelers means the Ravens need
this win like Pat McAfee needs a throat lozenge.

Speaker 5 (01:16:45):
The Ravens lose.

Speaker 7 (01:16:46):
This 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.

(01:17:07):
He told reporters.

Speaker 26 (01:17:08):
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 7 (01:17:18):
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, Rrey threw

(01:17:39):
a couple of picks back to back.

Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
One was a pick six, but it was a blizzard.

Speaker 7 (01:17:43):
If not for that, the Bengals get out of Buffalo
with winn 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.

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
Yes, it seemed like a football suicide.

Speaker 7 (01:17:56):
Note no, it's not exactly the stuff that makes you
want to run into a battle with him. I'm like braveheart,
but Joe's a gamer, and that Baltimore secondary is gonna
leave some big windows for MOPI Joe, that'll gonna be
too juicy to pass up.

Speaker 4 (01:18:07):
Take Burrow and.

Speaker 7 (01:18:09):
Over passing yards on Sunday, and like Jeth throw tall, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):
Going bomb goals in their jaw.

Speaker 6 (01:18:19):
Dolphins up these Steelers minus three.

Speaker 7 (01:18:22):
The main event Monday Night 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 5 (01:18:36):
It could happen, you just don't waned to happen to you.

Speaker 7 (01:18:39):
The credit where credits do. He's turned this team around
in short order, and while everyone else was calling for
the head Dolphins job, McDaniel said, eh, eh. 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 won't not only won't be able

(01:19:02):
to stop a chain, they won't be able to stop
the b chain or the Sea chain.

Speaker 5 (01:19:07):
And if Derek Harmon.

Speaker 7 (01:19:08):
Doesn't 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 prayed away Missus Chanley's goiter last month,
so anything's possible.

Speaker 5 (01:19:20):
In the nine games Harmon has played this year.

Speaker 7 (01:19:22):
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, called for Tomlin's
job and boots sticks. Jeremy Renner didn't get run over
as bad as the harmonless Steelers do. The other big
storyline in this one is Fitzpatrick's revenge. No, I'm not

(01:19:44):
talking about green diarrhea you get after Saint Patty's day prayed.
They're talking about former Steeler safety makea Fitzpatrick returning to
Akricher Stadium for the first time since being traded back
to the Dolphins.

Speaker 5 (01:19:55):
The Steelers gave up a.

Speaker 7 (01:19:56):
First round pick for Maca in twenty nineteen, which allowed
us to enjoy Codges 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
taking a semester at college because you part of your
balls off.

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
We were making memories there.

Speaker 7 (01:20:18):
Mink has always honked off about something 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

(01:20:39):
which they acquired, Miami, the NFL equivalent of 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 5 (01:20:56):
So MINC's revenge nothing to worry about.

Speaker 7 (01:21:00):
Temperatures are expected to be in the teens and Tua
is oh for lifetime.

Speaker 5 (01:21:03):
When the temperatures are under forty six degrees.

Speaker 7 (01:21:06):
Steelers just need to do the football equivalent of taking
a modium load up against the runs and.

Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
Watch Tua go free and out.

Speaker 7 (01:21:16):
Tomlin's gonna send dork Boy and his vape pens back
to Florida and then.

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
Smoke Stuggies with Jay Lazer and Brett Michaels all night long.
Steelers fly, the Dolphins take the good guys.

Speaker 7 (01:21:26):
That's it. I guarantee, if possible, winner for you this week.

the Avenue one.

Right, it's not the local one. Correct.

the one in the strip, it's the one we're performing at.

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. Well, yeah, you had
to walk a mile and a half. Yeah I did. Yeah,
I'm in shape. You're doing great. You know, we couldn't
be happier than to be joined at this time of
the year.

Speaker 5 (01:23:55):
But then none other than Rick cyb here this morning,
and I'm honored to be here.

Speaker 7 (01:24:02):
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 23 (01:24:20):
It's all about chocolates and chocolate shops around Pittsburgh, which
I was not aware of as a phenomenon that we
have a lot of chocolate. Yeah, we have a lot
of chocolate chops. I mean, the thing is, well, we
both grew up in Bethel Park. Yes, there's not a
chocolate chop. I don't think in Bethel Park. I mean,
I have no like childhood memories of going to the
chocolate chop. Bakries, yes, yes, Hertman's and Bethel Bakery, but

(01:24:44):
and pizza shops. You know, you develop a you know,
an affinity for that. And 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. So there was two Greek chocolate
chops and two Italian ones, and we mentioned one Romelos

(01:25:07):
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.

Speaker 7 (01:25:16):
Sponge candy is a you know that is a for
some reason, I have never been in a family event
anywhere in the country that didn't include sponge candy from erie.

Speaker 5 (01:25:28):
And and and anytime I give it to people.

Speaker 7 (01:25:30):
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 5 (01:25:40):
Oh that sounds phenomenal.

Speaker 7 (01:25:43):
They're awesome, but and you can kind of like suck
the sponge out of the chocolate if you want.

Speaker 6 (01:25:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:25:48):
Well, my cameraman Frank Calliero and I did it like
a test drive up Root eight because we've done Route
eighty eight, which you mentioned the h and it's it's
point marian is at the end, and we decided let's
see about Root eight, which I didn't realize starts a
channel four WTAE and goes to Eerie and it's a

(01:26:12):
really great drive and everything. We actually did a speople
who ride motorcycles up and down. That's usually a way
they'll go right and we stopped at a We did
a story about Stone Quarry up there Due's Stone earlier
this year. But when we got to the end and
you see the sign of 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

(01:26:34):
just looking around it and I said, look, I think
that's a chocolate shop, Glachos Blackos, and they were so
nice to us and everything.

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
So it's just a mention in the show. I tried
to do like a.

Speaker 7 (01:26:43):
Pine Avenue was up there is that where that is
rout It sounds right, Yeah, so that's the original one.
They used to have chocolate covered strawberries before I knew
that was the thing anywhere else, and there was this
like race to eat the chocolate covered strawberries.

Speaker 5 (01:26:55):
When I was a kid, we'd only get them at Easter.
So my dadould be like, those are for rich people.
We're only in those at Easter.

Speaker 7 (01:27:02):
Yeah, and you had to eat them in like a
day or they went bad, which was never a problem.

Speaker 5 (01:27:06):
But Pittsburgh's chocolate.

Speaker 7 (01:27:08):
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 23 (01:27:16):
Okay, well, you know it was Easter time this year
that I saw this thing online. I think it's wallet Hub.
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. And this

(01:27:37):
isn't the show, I say, And Pittsburgh was number two
because we have such a high per capita percentage of churches. Yes,
and chocolate chops.

Speaker 7 (01:27:48):
Church in a bar. That's kind of like all of
Western Pa. Right, church and a bar on every corner,
and the chocolate shop apparently the chocolate chop.

Speaker 6 (01:27:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:27:55):
So and that was 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.

(01:28:16):
He said, yeah, well you got to have it on
the list. And I said, okay.

Speaker 7 (01:28:20):
And then my see, if Rick tells me let's go
to the Pink House in Finleyville, I assume we're getting chocolate.
If Bartnick tells me that, I tell him I don't
want to go there.

Speaker 6 (01:28:28):
Yeah I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
Yeah, don't tell your girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (01:28:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:28:33):
Well, and the woman who cuts my hair said, if
you're doing chocolate shops, you got to go to Joe
Clark's Chocolates and Durnum.

Speaker 7 (01:28:40):
Okay, so you're just compiling all of these chocolate tears areas.

Speaker 23 (01:28:44):
And I 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 Seesalt Carmel's when I go
to visit in North Carolina, you know, and I.

Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
Always go to Dorothy's and get that.

Speaker 7 (01:29:00):
So I didn't realize there were so many neighborhood associated
chocolate shops in Pittsburgh. Yes.

Speaker 23 (01:29:06):
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. We gonna go to
Anderson's too, So those are Matt Anderson's.

Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:29:17):
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 that.

Speaker 7 (01:29:38):
So on, like the scope of these places. What is
like the biggest to smallest. Well, the biggest is Sarah's.
They're in every Giant Eagle, and.

Speaker 23 (01:29:52):
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 Andrews, since
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

(01:30:12):
to try to get they're coming too fast. Every single
place mentions I Love Lucy. So I have had a
little research on that too. It's a nineteen fifty two episode,
the first episode of season two.

Speaker 7 (01:30:24):
Oh it was that early in the run. I mean,
that's the iconic scene of her trying to finagle all
of the chocolates into the box while the conveyor belt
is going too quick.

Speaker 23 (01:30:33):
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.

Speaker 7 (01:30:40):
Yeah, and this parami the state would have been okay
with it. I'm not even kidding.

Speaker 23 (01:30:44):
They're they're so ubiquitous, yes, but you still got to
deal with the rights and all of that.

Speaker 6 (01:30:49):
So did you.

Speaker 7 (01:30:50):
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 5 (01:31:08):
Maybe we just have good taste. No, I did not
tackle the y.

Speaker 23 (01:31:11):
I don't know because that's 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. I mean Hershey's, And I thought you were
going to say Hershey.

Speaker 8 (01:31:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:31:26):
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 say it to me, it
was amazing how happy the employees scene.

Speaker 5 (01:31:40):
Yeah, chocolate shop exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:31:43):
That's certainly the key. There's this movie you should watch.
There's no oppas, right.

Speaker 9 (01:31:54):
Did you learn any tricks on how to make sure
you get a good one in the box?

Speaker 6 (01:31:58):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:31:59):
To identify? 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 5 (01:32:08):
You think I could read that fine print.

Speaker 6 (01:32:12):
I know some.

Speaker 23 (01:32:12):
People have things they don't want to eat, Like my
sister never wants a nut. 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
Steubenville Pike called Andy's Candies, and when you walk in,
they have always have a thing.

Speaker 5 (01:32:30):
They're of goofs, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:32:31):
The second screw ups.

Speaker 23 (01:32:33):
Yeah, and I love that you don't know what they're
going to get, and there's a whole bunch of different ways.

Speaker 7 (01:32:38):
Yeah, you can even 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.

Speaker 23 (01:32:54):
Right, yeah they do, but I you know, we only,
well the only ones who do this.

Speaker 5 (01:33:00):
Right maybe not? Yeah, they think they are.

Speaker 23 (01:33:02):
And then you're like, yeah, no, I remember if Pink
House said they they're the only place around that does
chocolate covered twinkies.

Speaker 5 (01:33:09):
Oh that's interesting, And you know.

Speaker 23 (01:33:13):
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 there, like,
you know, if this were covered in chocolate, I'd like
it even more.

Speaker 5 (01:33:24):
Yeah. How much chocolate did you eat doing this?

Speaker 7 (01:33:27):
Not too much? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
Did anything?

Speaker 14 (01:33:30):
Read?

Speaker 3 (01:33:30):
Is too decadent for you?

Speaker 23 (01:33:33):
No, does not know the media the phrase two decadents
so too much fun. 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,

(01:33:57):
influencer style videos every week from Dorothy's, talking about the
different candies you 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

(01:34:21):
which I and I think it was the first time,
and I thought, this is so great. So that's what
I brought for you guys this morning and in your
kitchen here and opened it up so that you know
I didn't have one, but I will have one now.
And I'll pass it to Andy.

Speaker 5 (01:34:40):
They're incredible chocolate covered potato chips. Yes, and this is
a miracle. I got a double.

Speaker 3 (01:34:46):
One unless you just left them in your car.

Speaker 5 (01:34:52):
Ruffles.

Speaker 7 (01:34:56):
That's from Andy's candies.

Speaker 5 (01:34:57):
No, that's from Dorothy's.

Speaker 7 (01:34:59):
It's very.

Speaker 23 (01:35:02):
I can't remember if I came in and talked about
the chicken blast, the Serbian chicken in weird Yeah, don't
go so urban.

Speaker 7 (01:35:09):
Because I did a show called Meet Pittsburgh several years ago.

Speaker 23 (01:35:11):
I've been getting my turkey fresh from Pounds Turkey Farm
out in Leechburg, Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:35:18):
And so I would expect that from you.

Speaker 7 (01:35:20):
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 23 (01:35:28):
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 7 (01:35:36):
So I have the turkey. No, it's not a k special.

Speaker 23 (01:35:40):
And uh I'm there at my house and I get
a call and it's uh, George Teslo from Weirden 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.

Speaker 5 (01:35:54):
Have one opening.

Speaker 6 (01:35:55):
Do you want it? No way?

Speaker 5 (01:35:57):
And I said yes, So.

Speaker 7 (01:35:59):
I called Chris Fan and wise, do you mind if
someone else good the turkey?

Speaker 5 (01:36:02):
Because not at all you do it.

Speaker 7 (01:36:04):
So they they they would like put those turkeys on
a spit yep like they do with all those chickens.

Speaker 23 (01:36:10):
Well, not as close as the chickens because they keep
careful records of who brings which turkey. So you have
to bring a foud or in my case, a fresh turkey.
You supply the turkey, You bring the turkey, a pound
of butter and an aluminium pin pan and h they
put the aluminum pans under the turkeys to catch the
drippings and then they also use that just porn and

(01:36:31):
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 like they're looking
for people to do it. They had one opening.

Speaker 5 (01:36:41):
Yeah right, yeah, you want it.

Speaker 7 (01:36:42):
It's not like please, So I think they did fifty
six or fifty seven turkeys.

Speaker 23 (01:36:47):
My fifteen pounder was one of the smallest. How good
was it? It was excellent? Was it like it had
that same smoky wonderful you know, just salt and pepper.

Speaker 7 (01:36:56):
Wow, really really great. It makes you wonder why we
don't don't take it ol pikes and put birds on
them and roast them for hours at the time exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:37:06):
My brother in law smoked the turkey this year. Was delicious.

Speaker 6 (01:37:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:37:10):
I don't get into the deep fried turkey so much
of the smoke turkeys because I think it like takes
away from the town.

Speaker 23 (01:37:15):
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 7 (01:37:22):
But it had to be the like the moistest 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 5 (01:37:34):
So okay, So that was excellent as well.

Speaker 7 (01:37:36):
Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh that's tonight on WQD. Tonight
on WQD at eight o'clock and it's the fourth episode
and Lucky to Live in Pittsburgh the first one with
a subtitle, which is a few luscious local chocolate chops.

Speaker 5 (01:37:52):
How many total did you visit?

Speaker 23 (01:37:54):
Well, we did we do it like a little montage
where we just stopped and got exteriors and that was
fun as well.

Speaker 7 (01:38:00):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 23 (01:38:01):
There's two in New Kensington Velos and uh Calorus and
my god, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:38:10):
In the strip and Chocolate Moose in Squirrel Hill. I
got ah when I went out with my turkey. That's
on the old Stubenville Pike.

Speaker 23 (01:38:20):
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.

Speaker 7 (01:38:32):
There's two two displays, one from.

Speaker 23 (01:38:36):
Oh In Butler Fuguers Flugers like Pflah and speckled Hen
I think is the other one that's there in Saxonburg.

Speaker 5 (01:38:47):
So they're all over the play right. Well that's sennight
on w q e D.

Speaker 7 (01:38:49):
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

(01:39:09):
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

(01:39:31):
these places, I like knowing they're around me.

Speaker 23 (01:39:33):
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 6 (01:39:41):
Are we done with it?

Speaker 7 (01:39:44):
You know? I say, I just love the people. Yeah,
you know the guy who's.

Speaker 3 (01:39:48):
Worked for forty eight years.

Speaker 23 (01:39:50):
You know, in the candy shop, starting as an apprentice
to mister Anderson up in Baden.

Speaker 7 (01:39:55):
Forty eight years. That's a long time.

Speaker 5 (01:39:56):
And again forty eight Yeah, but they open up to you.

Speaker 7 (01:40:00):
People open up to cab drivers like they open up
to you in a way where they feel comfortable.

Speaker 5 (01:40:04):
Telling you everything. Like that's the good thing.

Speaker 7 (01:40:06):
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. School all right, I don't want my head
to explode. Tonight eight pm on WQD check it out, Rick,
It's always a pleasure.

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
Thanks for bringing all this chocolate.

Speaker 23 (01:40:24):
Hey, I've saw their stuff too, so oh yeah, yeah
you got booze I do.

Speaker 7 (01:40:30):
Come on, Abby has said so many nice things.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
Yeah, I know, get us drunk.

Speaker 5 (01:40:35):
Enter Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:40:36):
I was up at Bottle Rocket the other night. They
showed Happy Holidays and pits. Oh that's so fun. Kathy
Neederberger made eggnog and she said, hey, last year you
took it to DVE, so this is for DVD.

Speaker 6 (01:40:50):
Oh no way.

Speaker 23 (01:40:51):
She made like yeah, because she said, you know, you
guys appreciated it and that's all that it takes.

Speaker 7 (01:40:57):
And then uh, I these are now available at w
q e D.

Speaker 23 (01:41:09):
It does look like a shoe bug it actually it's
a video tape box and Maxell's. 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 and that's even one for you. And so I

(01:41:31):
mean and actually, if I have another second, i'll tell you.
When I turned on the show, I guess it was
when you came on to you were talking about.

Speaker 7 (01:41:38):
Danny's and uh, yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:41:40):
When I was in high school, I got to be
a foreign exchange student to Brazil, and uh, dude, why
doesn't that surprise me at all?

Speaker 5 (01:41:48):
This is of course you did.

Speaker 6 (01:41:50):
Go ahead.

Speaker 23 (01:41:54):
I went through a program called International Fellowship out of Buffalo,
and they they had a meeting here in Pittsburgh at
Taylor Alderdyce High School and there, I guess I sat
next her.

Speaker 7 (01:42:05):
I don't know why.

Speaker 23 (01:42:06):
I made a friend Karen Cranick from mun Hall or Ducane,
I'm not sure. I don't remember exactly where she was from.
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 Sunt Paulo. I'm going to Rio, not

(01:42:31):
knowing that I just hit the jacket and Karen was
also going to Rio. So we were part of the
small group of six going to Rio, and so we
had it off. We saw each other again on the
plane going down there and everything. And I get there.
I have a wonderful family. Two brothers, they do and Kiko,

(01:42:52):
and they showed me around Rio.

Speaker 7 (01:42:55):
And I don't if you know this.

Speaker 23 (01:42:56):
I mean where Ipanima and Copa Cabana, the two beauty
beaches on the bay. Of course, where they meet. There's
a giant pile of rocks, so they're really separate beaches.
It's not like one big beach. And they on that
pile of rocks, and Keiko said, we're going to climb
up the top, okay, So we climb up to the

(01:43:17):
top and when we get up there.

Speaker 7 (01:43:19):
Karen Kranick's there with her two Brazilian.

Speaker 23 (01:43:21):
Sisters and it was totally unexpected, and of course her
Brazilian sisters and my Brazilian brothers are like, yeah, we
don't know any Portuguese yet and trying to figure us out.
And so I'm standing there with Karen and she said,
now we're you're from Batil Park, aren't you. I said yeah,
And she goes, do you live near Danny's. I said,

(01:43:45):
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.

Speaker 7 (01:43:54):
I always remember that.

Speaker 23 (01:43:55):
Here we are in Rio between Evania and Yoba Cabana,
And what are.

Speaker 5 (01:43:58):
We talking about Danny's HOGI because that's what Pittsburgh is,
always Pittsburgh.

Speaker 7 (01:44:03):
Yes, did you know that Joe Bartneck is going to
be on the pizza boxes at Danny's.

Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
Very get waiting to see that.

Speaker 5 (01:44:12):
It's so ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (01:46:28):
A little bit?

Speaker 8 (01:46:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:46:30):
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 shame.

Speaker 16 (01:46:40):
He's gonna look like the little kid in 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. Yeah,
my players came that. He's like, I'm gonna be warm
the players. Yeah, his players hate him.

Speaker 7 (01:47:00):
I'm 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 oh my god.
Like he was complaining and stuff, and 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. He should just seer steer into the door
skid because that's Hey, it's.

Speaker 6 (01:47:16):
Working for him lately, they're for.

Speaker 7 (01:47:20):
I think he's a fun figure in the NFL to
have a character like that.

Speaker 5 (01:47:24):
I think he's a good thing. Jackass, but yeah, it's
a good thing. I like it.

Speaker 16 (01:47:29):
I like my coaches to look like Tom Landry and
Vince Libbardi, although none of them do anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:47:34):
Who's the last guy that wore a suit on the sidelines.

Speaker 6 (01:47:38):
Yeah, he tried to bring it back.

Speaker 7 (01:47:40):
And it didn't last Nope. Well got he got canned.

Speaker 9 (01:47:43):
I thought they find the head coaching for the Niners
for wearing a suit because they're supposed to wear the logo. Crap,
it's 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, but I don't either, swaye.

(01:48:04):
Philip Stills still alive, isn't it? Wade would bumb never
wor b didn't wear athletic gear.

Speaker 16 (01:48:12):
No worries Moore's jeans and his big belt, goat harder coat.

Speaker 6 (01:48:17):
Yeah, exactly, I didn't wear it.

Speaker 7 (01:48:20):
In the astronom he wouldn't wear the stats and in
the Mama told him no where I had indoors.

Speaker 5 (01:48:27):
Here's some of the great quotes.

Speaker 7 (01:48:28):
Ever, those are good games back then, Dan Pastorini would
just be like.

Speaker 16 (01:48:33):
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 5 (01:48:40):
I used to have the Jim Kelly Bills.

Speaker 9 (01:48:42):
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.

Speaker 7 (01:48:50):
Stated that is awesome. Well, Chuck Noll 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 SALESMANI.

Speaker 6 (01:49:08):
I think Glenville was a disciple of Chris Christopherson.

Speaker 16 (01:49:12):
Yeah, I mean just he was out there. You know,
he did a lot of stuff that a lot of
people didn't like.

Speaker 5 (01:49:17):
He always left tickets for Elvis, which is great. Yeah,
I mean just.

Speaker 6 (01:49:21):
The way they played over the edge and that whole
house of pain thing.

Speaker 16 (01:49:24):
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.

Speaker 6 (01:49:31):
Somebody on the other team?

Speaker 16 (01:49:33):
Technically? They don't like it when you say it out loud. Yes,
inside thoughts, Yes, I wanted to kill him. No, just
say I wanted to hit him very hard. You know,
it's the same thing.

Speaker 9 (01:49:46):
But ol pr And 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. I'm calling him mister
buckis uh.

Speaker 6 (01:49:59):
It was his birthday.

Speaker 9 (01:50:00):
He's like two 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 rolls down the steps. Oh yeah, yeah,
they'll never show that in espnymore, but they I loved

(01:50:20):
I said it to everyone.

Speaker 5 (01:50:21):
I knew, like, this is the best clip ever.

Speaker 7 (01:50:24):
I remember that. Wait, what movie is that? It's like, anyways,
go ahead, I'll figure it out.

Speaker 16 (01:50:31):
Sports Start brought to you by Bridge Real Appliants pens
in the Canadians Tonight a big game. I suspect head
coach Dan Musevi of Joey Bees is a podcast partner.

Speaker 6 (01:50:42):
Josh.

Speaker 16 (01:50:43):
Joey of The Athletic defended his decision to play Crystal
Tang and Eric Carlson at the end of what became
a debacle against Tampa Bay on Tuesday night, said news quote,
both of those defensemen are out there on every situation,
and Joe, as you mentioned this morning, Josh pointed out

(01:51:03):
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 got the game
tied in the he had Gino out there then, Not exactly,
mister Selke. No, and hey, Carlson and Latang have been

(01:51:23):
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 9 (01:51:38):
He's gonna cost him the season. 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.

(01:52:01):
They got to play a responsible, structured game tonight, and
if they do, they've done that a lot this year
and it's worked out a lot, and they got to
finish it because.

Speaker 16 (01:52:13):
You know, finishing's big stuff can get out of hand quickly.
So Penn's in Montreal tonight it's tough.

Speaker 9 (01:52:21):
They played so good for forty or fifty nine minutes
and I'm bad at math forty three seconds.

Speaker 16 (01:52:30):
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 and then.

Speaker 6 (01:52:41):
They reverted back to what they thought they were going
to be.

Speaker 7 (01:52:43):
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 5 (01:53:01):
Somebody had a piece about like, tanking never works.

Speaker 9 (01:53:04):
It doesn't when you look at Chicago's barely now a
reasonable team and it took him ten years.

Speaker 6 (01:53:11):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (01:53:12):
Well but there's a little bit.

Speaker 9 (01:53:14):
But there's a lottery now so that we know the
stays of getting him, there's and there's no one like
him anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:53:20):
Joe.

Speaker 7 (01:53:21):
The movie that Dick Buckets was talking about was Hush Hush,
Sweet Charlotte with Betty Davis, and this is the clip
that you.

Speaker 8 (01:53:26):
Were talking about. 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 is that hit him.

Speaker 6 (01:53:36):
We're making an attack.

Speaker 8 (01:53:37):
When you hold that guy's arm, he's got nothing to
absorb the blow with except maybe his head or his shoulder.
And this is what I like to do. Punish them.

Speaker 17 (01:53:43):
Man.

Speaker 8 (01:53:43):
One particular movie that stands out in mind. It was
with Betty 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
mean is a way to to get yourself excited. It's
almost like a like being mad. It's like hating the fella.

(01:54:05):
I make up things. Maybe if he's smiling, I'll make
up a thing, imagine every thing 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.

Speaker 6 (01:54:14):
Intimidate them.

Speaker 8 (01:54:14):
When you see the guy trying to get up and
he's wobbling a little bit, maybe his helmet's you know, turned,
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 16 (01:54:26):
Today football was football.

Speaker 7 (01:54:32):
You imagine if someone like went out today and said
something like that, Like I like to visualize knocking a
guy's head off and seeing it rolling around on the fields.

Speaker 5 (01:54:42):
Violence compels me five thousand dollars fine for every word.

Speaker 6 (01:54:49):
Yeah, it's not the same, Abby.

Speaker 7 (01:54:52):
You will have your news at the top of the hour.

Speaker 3 (01:54:53):
Well, I have so many salacious stories.

Speaker 7 (01:54:55):
But seedback is here.

Speaker 3 (01:54:57):
Should I be telling them?

Speaker 5 (01:54:58):
I want to hear them.

Speaker 7 (01:55:02):

dealing with stalkers, but I don't think would work for everybody.

Speaker 5 (01:55:08):
Well, we'll talk, Oh dude, I know this story.

but before that, Mike.

Speaker 16 (01:55:15):

I'm great, How are you good? Okay, schlitch a little
bit of everything chocolate chew.

Speaker 7 (01:57:44):
Well, I don't think there's any chocolatechover covered chew in
Rick Seabeck's chocolate special on QED tonight, but it appears
like chocolate on everything else.

Speaker 5 (01:57:54):
You wait, are you a are you a Bethel person?

Speaker 3 (01:57:56):
Also?

Speaker 7 (01:57:57):
Originally No, you're.

Speaker 14 (01:57:59):
Plumb up and plum. I'm an Oakmont girl?

Speaker 6 (01:58:01):
What's all right? So?

Speaker 7 (01:58:02):
What's the Oakmont chocolate?

Speaker 14 (01:58:06):
You know? I'm like, I don't think I've ever had
their chocolate. I'm as Sarah's chocolate snob.

Speaker 5 (01:58:11):
Yeah, I kind of.

Speaker 4 (01:58:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:58:15):
I mean you just it's good. I don't know what
else to say.

Speaker 5 (01:58:18):
They figured it out, they really did.

Speaker 14 (01:58:21):
Yeah, you can buy it in Jihant Eagle. You don't
even have to go to wash Paul right.

Speaker 7 (01:58:26):
Yeah, but 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 5 (01:58:35):
Oh yeah, but the chocolate pretzels.

Speaker 7 (01:58:37):
I've never gone to a family function and not brought
those and someone else from my family. He's brought the
one from area I was talking 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.
But yeah, I always load up at the airport, all right,
So Steelers loaded up offensively with a UPLD wide receivers

(01:59:01):
a little different.

Speaker 5 (01:59:01):
You know, we always have fun asking you about Roman.

Speaker 7 (01:59:04):
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 14 (01:59:20):
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

(01:59:44):
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 MBS, that's just
somebody that Aaron is comfortable with, clearly, So I'm interested

(02:00:07):
to see kind of what the game plan is moving
forward there. You know, there were some passes just in
pregame warm ups where you were 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,

(02:00:28):
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.

Speaker 16 (02:00:39):
Missie, 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 vibe down there?

Speaker 7 (02:00:57):
Did it?

Speaker 16 (02:00:58):
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 14 (02:01:07):
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

(02:01:30):
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
at your best, And it just felt like, you know,
Aaron brings this energy, especially when the offense is on
that is just contagious. I mean, you had Mike Tomlin

(02:01:52):
doing the discount double check. He did like a double
double check, and I was like dying when it happened
because I was literally rased 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,
and he made something happen and they all know what

(02:02:13):
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,
stopping to runs another story. They still were able to

(02:02:33):
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 a bigger
plays to him, and it 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
goes moving forward. I'm glad they have the extra day

(02:02:54):
with a Monday night game for guys to get healthy,
just being at this point of the season. But yeah,
Monday night at home.

Speaker 8 (02:03:02):
I love that.

Speaker 5 (02:03:03):
Minus the weather, Yeah, I know, because you're gonna have
to be on the elements.

Speaker 7 (02:03:06):
Well, you'll be warmer than Mike McDaniel, who's like my
mom when it comes to cold.

Speaker 5 (02:03:11):
Yeah, gets so cold all the time. It's like cover
your ankles.

Speaker 6 (02:03:14):
Bro.

Speaker 7 (02:03:15):
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 gonna work best offensively for the
Steelers on Monday Night?

Speaker 14 (02:03:26):
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

(02:03:46):
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.

day I'm thinking about it. There's Dennis as an engineer

Pink House in Finleyville.

Speaker 7 (02:06:04):

the list. And I said, okay. And then see if
Rick tells me, let's go to the Pink House in Finleyville,
I assume we're getting chocolate.

want to go there. Yeah, I don't want to go different. Yeah,

four or five big ones. I didn't realize there were
like dozens of them.

Speaker 3 (02:07:01):
It's pretty sweet.

Speaker 9 (02:07:02):
They're hiding in plain sight. They kind of are never
knew their rounds. And like I said to him, and
I wasn't just blowing smoke. I mean, I really do
appreciate about those shows that he has. I don't really
have to care about the product so much as I
just like hearing from the people.

Speaker 2 (02:07:17):
Everybody in Pittsburgh who has a job like that, it's
the most important thing that they do.

Speaker 3 (02:07:22):
Yeah, I know every single thing about.

Speaker 2 (02:07:25):

of it, and that's what makes all of his shows
incredibly special.

Speaker 9 (02:07:31):
Speaking of proud, the two ladies that made that eggnog.
I am not an eggnog person. That one might have
been one of the most delicious things I've ever had
in my life.

Speaker 7 (02:08:33):

Speaker 9 (02:08:36):
Full shots of booze. Now I know why Rick so
happy all the time? Abby, what's going on over there?

Speaker 3 (02:08:43):
Is this hour brought to you by a better call Sy.

Speaker 2 (02:08:45):
Mostly cloudy, breezy, and colder today, a couple of snow showers.
It's a high of thirty, and you can expect flurries
tonight as well. Jack Nicholson had an interesting way with stalkers,
at least one particular stalker.

Speaker 3 (02:09:00):
Female stalker.

Speaker 2 (02:09:02):
Ben Dreyfus is the son of jos Star Richard driv Ri.
I was in John's and a woman named Jeremy Rain.
Jeremy dated Nicholson in the early eighties, and Ben told
a crazy story that happened when they were together.

Speaker 5 (02:09:19):
This is.

Speaker 7 (02:09:21):
Richard Dreyfus's wife, but before they were married, yes, and
Ben Dreyfus's mom was dating Jack Nicholson.

Speaker 5 (02:09:29):
I want to get it straight, Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:09:31):
Jack started getting disturbing phone calls from a woman and
they weirded him out so much that he told everyone
in the house to ignore her. One day, Jeremy was
at Jack's house when the woman showed up and knocked
on his door. Jeremy and Jack were kind of freaked out,
but they ended up in the living room with the stalker.

Speaker 5 (02:09:51):
Somehow.

Speaker 2 (02:09:53):
Jack told Jeremy to call for help, so she left
the room to go call for help. When she came back,
the living room was empty. So she's freaked out by that,
of course, and so she's looking for them. Because this
is a stalker.

Speaker 3 (02:10:09):
This is a dangerous situation when she found them.

Speaker 2 (02:10:13):
They were in the bedroom and Jack was receiving an
oral favorite on the stalker. Jeremy lost it obviously and screamed,
what the eth is wrong with you?

Speaker 3 (02:10:24):
In Jack's response was shit off for me?

Speaker 4 (02:10:26):
Oral sex? What was I.

Speaker 5 (02:10:27):
Supposed to do?

Speaker 4 (02:10:28):
Say?

Speaker 8 (02:10:28):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:10:30):
Yeah, I mean I think Hollywood in the seventies was
a really sort of sexual wild West. Yeah, and that
probably didn't seem that weird to Jack Nicholson even though
it was weird to everybody else in the world. Don't
forget Jack Nicholson also did I think a couple of
years where he just was naked in his house and
if you went to his house, you were you had

(02:10:52):
He just he wanted everyone to be naked, and so
Harry Dean Stanton would go over and hang out with
him and just get naked and just walk around the
house and drink beer, smokes itarettes and they would just
be naked because they were that weird.

Speaker 5 (02:11:04):
So sounds right again.

Speaker 7 (02:11:06):
I talked about the cognitive effect of celebrity and you know,
when you're a billionaire, I said, that person had such
a great tweet about it, like it must be like
the cognitive effect of getting hit in the kicked in
the head every day by a mule. You know, eventually
you're like, I could do anything, you know, Like I
think celebrity has that similar thing, Joe, You're around all
these crazy show biz people all the time.

Speaker 6 (02:11:28):
I am.

Speaker 5 (02:11:29):
They're not naked, unfortunately, noney of them.

Speaker 6 (02:11:31):
Right. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:11:32):
A bird doesn't get naked and walk around his house.

Speaker 6 (02:11:34):
Take your clothes out.

Speaker 7 (02:11:36):
No, I don't want that.

Speaker 5 (02:11:38):
Like I mean, me and BERSI love each other.

Speaker 9 (02:11:40):
I don't want to smoke cigars naked with them all day.
I wouldn't imagine you would. Yeah, I don't understand that,
like the fun of that. I don't want someone naked
on my couch. Yeah, you're talking about reading happy to
relax in the movie theater. It's something spray ego on your
love seat.

Speaker 7 (02:11:58):
Yeah no, we'll just think about that next time you
jump on your hotel bed spread and lay there.

Speaker 5 (02:12:03):
Oh I ripped that thing off immediately.

Speaker 7 (02:12:08):
Go angry.

Speaker 9 (02:12:09):
Yeah yeah, no, I don't touch that thing at all.

Speaker 5 (02:12:12):
Those are nasty, Oh my god.

Speaker 7 (02:12:14):
Yeah, because you know, and the couch in a hotel room, anything,
any piece of furniture. I just picture like Larry King
naked on it.

Speaker 9 (02:12:23):
You know what I mean, because when you're in a
hotel room, you treat it the same way.

Speaker 5 (02:12:27):
Well, or I do it.

Speaker 7 (02:12:28):
Yeah, Well, if I'm gonna sit on it, it's gonna
be buck ass naked.

Speaker 2 (02:12:33):
Yeah, all right, different guy to Wiener.

Speaker 3 (02:12:37):
Here, Oscar Meyer is looking for the newest.

Speaker 2 (02:12:40):
Hotdogger, the person who is lucky enough to climb behind
the wheel of the Wienermobile and drive around the country.
The company announced that applications are now open to try
to become one of the drivers of the Wienermobile in
twenty twenty six. That program started back in nineteen eighty
eight and it was designed to develop top talent to
and by our future leaders who embody innovation, creativity and

(02:13:03):
community spirit. They usually get about five thousand applications. They
cut that down to a dozen and technically you are
the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile spokesperson and you go through a
two week immersive onboarding process. So apparently it's very intense.
You have regular meetings with various teams and you need

(02:13:24):
to be a people person.

Speaker 3 (02:13:25):
Of course to do this.

Speaker 2 (02:13:25):
But you have to have the valor driver's license, good
driving record, ability to work long weekends. But they give
you thirty five thousand dollars, an additional weekly allowance of
one hundred and fifty dollars, and you get health benefits
and hotel.

Speaker 3 (02:13:39):
Costs are covered.

Speaker 9 (02:13:40):
It's a good gig, but I would never get it
the way I drive. I'd be putting that Wiener into everything.

Speaker 7 (02:13:55):
Jelly bean, never change, dude. I knew the person. I
knew somebody who drove that Who she's When I was
grown up, we need two famous people. One was the
he was the Notre Dame mascot for a year, and
the other was this girl and she drove the wienermobile,
and they were like the most famous people in our
circles growing up.

Speaker 8 (02:14:12):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (02:14:13):
Like, I don't think it's as cool of a gig
as it sounds like, because after a while, the novelty
of it wears off.

Speaker 5 (02:14:21):
Sure I gotta get up and drive that Wiener around again.

Speaker 3 (02:14:24):
Today, it's to do it for the lulls kind of job.

Speaker 2 (02:14:26):
I think I had a friend that was working in
some capacity like spam had some kind of version of that,
And I don't know if there was like a spammobile
basically a spam mobile, and she was doing that. She
was kind of a hippie and was kind of like, yeah,
I know, I want to travel the world for spam,
and I know she had a lot of spam swag

(02:14:50):
that's cool and used to give that away, like so
I have some spam magnets of her. She was just like,
look at all this fun free spam stuff I have,
and I'm like, you eat spam.

Speaker 5 (02:15:00):
She's like, oh god, no.

Speaker 9 (02:15:02):
Well, I used to work for a company when I
were to San Francisco where we would like go out
the Jaegermeister be with like the Yegger MEISTERI yeah, yeah,
you know, go and hand out you know, like you know,
I guess that's along the same lines right the upper
but you have you get out of the car and
handle hot dogs.

Speaker 6 (02:15:16):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (02:15:16):
Yeah, I think so you're basically a brand ambassador and you're.

Speaker 9 (02:15:21):
The greatest job of that was. There's one guy that
used to walk around or whatever around and he was
from Guinness and he would go to bars and show
people how to pour a proper Guinness. And I was
friends with that guy and he could always give you
free Guinnesses that he barhud show up at.

Speaker 7 (02:15:36):
Yeah, I mean that's the thing that nobody does the
biggest group on pouring again, it's when you pour it
out of the tap. That people do is they don't
do the push back on the topper. They know to
fill it up three quarters and then let it sit
and settle, but then they pull it forward again.

Speaker 5 (02:15:53):
The tap and those taps you have to push those
back because.

Speaker 7 (02:15:56):
It doesn't really as much nitrogen when you do that,
and then it does like over foam and you get
the proper poor.

Speaker 5 (02:16:02):
That's the big mistake people make. That's that's that's a
great tip.

Speaker 6 (02:16:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:16:07):
But that being said, we went to the Guinness factory.

Speaker 5 (02:16:10):
And I screwed up my poor a little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:16:11):
But no you didn't. You did it great, Yeah, thank
you appreciate. But we learned a proper poor.

Speaker 2 (02:16:20):
But then Dubliners told us that they were doing it
wrong at the Guinness factory. They some Dubliners they were like,
that's not where you get a proper Guinness.

Speaker 7 (02:16:28):
Well, it wasn't so much the method. They just thought
the beer wasn't that good there.

Speaker 5 (02:16:33):
They're like, you know, they're like.

Speaker 7 (02:16:34):
All the Dubliners think that's that's that's bleep, you know,
and we're like at the Guinness Factory and They're like, yeah,
that's bleep, like you have to get it at this
place in that place. And then the one old guy said,
like the way the bottle was really the traditional way.

Speaker 3 (02:16:49):
I agreed with him because he let me try it.

Speaker 7 (02:16:52):
And I I thought you were getting roofed.

Speaker 5 (02:16:53):
I was like, I do not drink that guy's beer.

Speaker 2 (02:16:56):
I kind of took a look over and I'm like,
you guys are gonna catch me right, Okay, I'm gonna
chick it.

Speaker 9 (02:17:01):
He liked to Geinness in a bottle that yeah, and
we well, we watched that movie about it in the
factory where like that was the original way was like
the coming out of the bottle. Before the drafts became popular,
the bottles were what took the island by storm. Jim
Jeffrey is one of the greatest comedians ever and a
good friend of mine, said one of the greatest inventions

(02:17:21):
of mankind was the Guinness Can I agree.

Speaker 5 (02:17:24):
I agree too.

Speaker 6 (02:17:25):
It's like that in TiVo.

Speaker 3 (02:17:27):
Yeah, wow, picture and picture Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (02:17:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:17:33):
Well, I mean, hey, we gotta go do this tv O.

Speaker 6 (02:17:36):
The game.

Speaker 7 (02:17:39):
TiVo is such an outdated term, like it basically like
d v R in it, you know what I mean,
it's just like you just recorded.

Speaker 5 (02:17:45):
I can't ya.

Speaker 7 (02:17:47):
DV.

Speaker 9 (02:17:48):
Yes, I can. I've been saying DV like it's my
whole life. I've been saying TV like I've been saying TV.
TiVo's like Coca cola.

Speaker 6 (02:17:54):
You know what? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (02:17:56):
It really is?

Speaker 9 (02:17:58):
Yeah, but it does. It's any more marriages and the
marriage counselors TiVo. What do you mean we gotta got
your sister's house TiVo?

Speaker 7 (02:18:06):
The game?

Speaker 3 (02:18:07):
Okay, I guess we'll stay together one more year. You know,
it's funny because it's true.

Speaker 8 (02:18:20):
All right.

Speaker 2 (02:18:20):
Mariah Carey has recorded hundreds and hundreds of songs across
her career, but she could have basically retired comfortably if
she had only released one song.

Speaker 3 (02:18:30):
And what do you think that it is?

Speaker 5 (02:18:32):
You that I know the guy that wrote that song?

Speaker 8 (02:18:36):
You do?

Speaker 6 (02:18:37):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 9 (02:18:38):
He's he's like, he's like my biggest fan, Walter Walter
Afana Thief.

Speaker 3 (02:18:44):
Is that how you say his last name? Afana Thief?

Speaker 8 (02:18:47):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (02:18:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:18:48):
I just the Russian Brazilian music producer.

Speaker 9 (02:18:50):
Yeah, he's a bald head and he's married to a
friend of mine who they own a comedy club. In
Hollywood now, but he used to always come to the
laugh Factory and hang out when then he married my friend.
And yeah, Walter, he's the best to pick up. He
must well, he must be worth many millions.

Speaker 3 (02:19:05):
Yes, yeah, he's got a net worth is over one
hundred million.

Speaker 5 (02:19:09):
You're friends with that guy?

Speaker 6 (02:19:11):
That guy, jeez, that's pretty honest.

Speaker 5 (02:19:13):
It was last name was Walter bald dude, super cool, Walt.

Speaker 2 (02:19:17):
That's what he's in his phone is Walter bald dude,
super cool.

Speaker 3 (02:19:20):
I hope he's paying for dinner.

Speaker 2 (02:19:23):
It is, of course ironic that you know, the song
is about, you know, not enjoying the materialistic things about
Christmas and just being with people that you love, because
it does Rake in more than two point five million
dollars in royalties for her every single year. But deep
pretty good good uh, And Walter of course makes a

(02:19:46):
ton of movie or money on it as well. But
it seems like it's also becoming more popular every single year.
It hit number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred
for the first time I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:20:00):
In twenty nineteen.

Speaker 2 (02:20:02):
Wow, But it's returned to number one every single year
since then.

Speaker 7 (02:20:07):

Speaker 6 (02:20:59):
Just Thursday for me, man.

Speaker 7 (02:21:01):
I know. I got to interview Sean Lennon in about
a half an hour after the show.

Speaker 6 (02:21:06):
I got to interview Arthur Smith. You want to trade
get to.

Speaker 7 (02:21:10):
Well, why don't you asked Sean Arthur Smith the questions
I have for Sean Lennon, and I'll ask Sean Lennon
about the offense get better answers, you might, You might.

Speaker 6 (02:21:23):
Arthur's great talking about history.

Speaker 16 (02:21:25):
Okay, He's very conscious that he doesn't want to reveal
anything in his weekly chats with us. Right as if
mcdangle and the Dolphins are going to tune in TV
tomorrow and think, I wonder what Arthur had to say
about where they're going to throw the ball down the field?

Speaker 5 (02:21:40):
Well, that's I was just going to say. Is not
like he's revealing anything that everybody doesn't already know.

Speaker 16 (02:21:45):
Yeah, a lot of these guys are paranoid, Radle, I'm aware.

Speaker 6 (02:21:50):
I am aware.

Speaker 16 (02:21:52):
You know just because your parent me, just because your
paradoid doesn't mean they are not to get you.

Speaker 5 (02:21:57):
That's very true. I lived my life by the sports.

Speaker 6 (02:22:00):
That's u brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 16 (02:22:02):
Speaking of paranoid just feels like a big game for
the penguine tight against the Canadians, mostly because they lost
what should have been a win against Anaheim with a
zero point one seconds remaining in the third period, then
lost it in a shootout. Joe, the last time I
had this feeling, I knew I had it before and
it came to me was back in early November. November

(02:22:24):
the third they were up three to nothing on Toronto
going into the third period, lost the game in regulation. Yeah,
they And then they had the Caps the next game,
and I think you were in here and we were
talking about how that Caps game felt like it.

Speaker 5 (02:22:37):
Was a big deal. It did feel like a huge deal.

Speaker 9 (02:22:39):
And then we almost blew that one too, but then
we didn't. I think Rusty came up with a big goal.
Was that that game? Yeah, that was a Yeah, it
has the same feeling. It doesn't have the same juice
as a Capital's game. But you know, I think I
like the way we've been playing, and you got to
beat the teams that are behind you, and that you

(02:23:00):
should beat. That's so disconcerting. Was like, we played so
good against Dallas, only get the loser point, really good
against Anaheim too, Yeah, and top team in the West
only get the loser point. So you gotta start getting two.

Speaker 16 (02:23:14):
Funny part about that Caps game, and you know that's
how you avoid streaks. Just bounce back and get it
done the next time. Funny part about that Caps game
is they went one, two and three in their next
six games after seemingly stopping the bleeding. But you know, one,
two and three, you still got five points in six games.

Speaker 6 (02:23:33):
You didn't lose four in a row in regulation.

Speaker 16 (02:23:36):
The East is so tight, I think you just have
to keep getting points when you can at a pretty
regular clip. Don't don't go oh for four, to oh
for five, oh for six, because now all of a
sudden you're in chase mode and there's nineteen teams in
front of you, and everybody's getting.

Speaker 9 (02:23:50):
Their loser points. Yes, and we are home for five strands.
So this is the second one, so you got to
make Hey, the.

Speaker 16 (02:23:57):
Other interesting thing, first of three against the Canadians. They'll
play tonight in Pittsburgh and then December the twentieth and twenty.
First they played back to back at Montreal and then
back here, I know, and the Canadians are behind the Penguins.

Speaker 6 (02:24:09):
But not very far behind the Penguins.

Speaker 5 (02:24:11):
Now everyone's in the East, everyone's within like six points.

Speaker 6 (02:24:15):
It's amazing.

Speaker 16 (02:24:16):
They also have back to backs coming up in January
against Detroit and in April against Florida and Washington. You know,
same team in consecutive games, right, which is kind of
a collegiate sort of twist to the schedule. They did
that against Nashville earlier this year, but that was in Sweden.

Speaker 6 (02:24:32):
Of course they were going to play twice.

Speaker 9 (02:24:34):
I hope we get Boco for Christmas because the back
to back with the two Wi Fi brothers, I think
we're gonna need a little Abama coming down to Chimney.

Speaker 16 (02:24:45):
Penn's currently the first wild card in the East with
thirty five points. The Canadians are the third team on
the outside looking in with thirty three. Florida's starting to
shake a leg a little bit and climb up from
the bottom. Would think the Panthers are going to be
a playoff team before by the time this is all
said and done.

Speaker 9 (02:25:04):
You would think. But you know, they missed Barkoff. It's
hard to miss one of the top four centers in
the league. And who knows when Kachuck's coming back and
the guy gets burned his arm off in a barbecue,
I get some freak injuries.

Speaker 16 (02:25:15):
And I'm not sure about Toronto. Do they just stink
or are they just off to a slow start.

Speaker 9 (02:25:21):
They figured out they're not replacing Marner, and now they're
finally playing Barubi hockey, whereas there's three fourth lines and
they're actually playing defense.

Speaker 6 (02:25:29):
That's to kill me.

Speaker 9 (02:25:29):
The most about that Toronto game, Mike, was that second
period was the it looked like Yager, Stevens, Lebu and
Francis were out there and we gave it away.

Speaker 16 (02:25:41):
Yeah, gave away last two games, gave away a point
in each one, but still got a point in each one.

Speaker 6 (02:25:46):
So it could be worse. It could be worse.

Speaker 5 (02:25:48):
It could, I mean, but it'll get worse if they
don't tighten up.

Speaker 9 (02:25:51):
I'm thrilled with how we're playing because I was not
in the oh we should take and go. No, I
like winning. I don't like going to a game in losing.
Winning breeds winning. Losing never breeds anything, but more you
go look at look at Joe Burr. He's crying. What's
to retire? I bet if he was winning, he wouldn't
be feeling that way. It's fun when you win, Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:26:12):
Well said, you know, unless that that one instance when
there was no lottery and Lemieux was up for grabs,
then yeah, then you call some goalie out of the
miners who has no business playing in the National Hockey
League and let him get lit up like a Christmas
tree down the stretch.

Speaker 5 (02:26:27):
Yeah, but Mary Lym is not walking through that draft board.

Speaker 8 (02:26:30):
No, he is not.

Speaker 16 (02:26:31):
Falcons and Buccaneers tonight in Tampa. That's the Thursday night game.
And there are clinch scenarios available this weekend for the Patriots, Broncos,
and Rams. Also some elimination scenarios.

Speaker 8 (02:26:45):
Uh.

Speaker 16 (02:26:46):
Tennessee, Vegas, Jets, and Cleveland have already been eliminated from
the postseason. It could happen to Cincinnati if the Bengals
lose to Baltimore, and it could happen to the Dolphins, Chiefs,
and Vikings based on a variety of potential occurrences. Dolphins
will be playing for their playoff lives. Actually, I don't
think they're playing for that. I think they're just I

(02:27:06):
think they've they've stumbled into something that works and it's
been working, and they're gonna keep doing it as long
as it works, and they like it that it works
and they're having fun.

Speaker 7 (02:27:17):
Yeah, let's make it the first time it doesn't work
in recent history. Here Monday night.

Speaker 16 (02:27:22):
Well, if Derek Harmon comes back. If he comes back
and they stuff the run, I'd settle for Mark Harmon
compared to the I mean it's like almost one hundred
yard difference.

Speaker 6 (02:27:35):
I think he's good, and I know he's the first round.
I don't think he's Joe Green.

Speaker 7 (02:27:39):
No, but they're competent. I mean keeping teams to under
one hundred when he plays versus.

Speaker 16 (02:27:44):
The almost two hundred. Yeah, it was one ninety one
to ninety six. Yeah, one n one and change that that.
That's a split that I cannot explain.

Speaker 5 (02:27:52):
Nor can I. Maybe Guy Junker can.

Speaker 7 (02:27:53):
He's going to join us after the commercial break right
here on the DV morning show.

Speaker 25 (02:27:59):
Buckle Ups, Chad Tyson has your soundtrack for the road.
He's got a reloaded cut from the DVE Morning Show
Sports and a Workforce commercial Free hour at three afternoons
with Chad Tyson on DVE.

Speaker 5 (02:28:15):
What Tissed You Buy?

Speaker 7 (02:28:16):
Edgar Snyder and Associates, a personal injury law firm where
they always say there's never a fee unless we get
money for you. It's Guy Junker, everybody, Yeah, good morning, everybody.
All right, So we have not really talked a lot
this morning about the situation in Michigan, and I don't
know what there is to opine on other than this

(02:28:38):
is truly one of the craziest stories. It's tragic on
many levels. And to have a major college football program
wrapped up in it. You would think in this day
and age that a program that big would be doing
due diligence non stop to make sure they don't put
themselves in a vulnerable position. So I'm prized anytime something

(02:29:01):
of this magnitude happens on any level in collegiate sports.
But when it's like Michigan, you know, the Penn States
of the world, like, this is one of those things.
I don't think you just bounced back from it. Pursuita
he had to bounce pursuit is like, Nope, they'll sweetness.

Speaker 6 (02:29:15):
Under the rug and you won't even meet.

Speaker 7 (02:29:17):
Nobody will be thinking about this in a year or
so if de Boer comes and takes the job, Do you.

Speaker 5 (02:29:20):
Think it's something like that?

Speaker 7 (02:29:21):
Is this something that's there's gonna be a long time
before this one's out of anybody's recent memory.

Speaker 11 (02:29:28):
Well, to look, just a couple of years ago, they
were stealing signs in Harbaugh. You know, Harbaugh high tailed
that to the NFL to get out from under the
problems that they had, and then this guy takes over
I would love and the police are being very mom
It's interesting enough to me that he got cut having
an inappropriate relationship with his staffer. I want to know

(02:29:48):
what happened yesterday they got him arrested. I mean, you know,
they sent police to her house, they sent.

Speaker 6 (02:29:53):
Police to his house.

Speaker 11 (02:29:54):
What was going on? Was you know, was he threatening
threatening her? Did she spill the beans to get There's
not enough information out of there, But it doesn't surprise
me when it's to the big institution anymore than a
small I mean, people.

Speaker 5 (02:30:06):
Do goofy things everywhere.

Speaker 11 (02:30:08):
Yeah, I think the bigger places have a better chance
to sweep in.

Speaker 6 (02:30:11):
It under the rug.

Speaker 11 (02:30:12):
And this didn't give them any football advantage. I mean,
the signs stealing thing was one thing, and you know,
back with as terrible as the Jerry Sandusky thing was
that that was nothing, had nothing to do with the football.
When they took the winds away from them, they didn't
gain any advantage on the football field because they had
a creep as a defensive coordinator. So yeah, it's it's

(02:30:33):
very interesting if they're all the coaching carousel that zipped around.
He thought it was over and now they're looking for somebody.

Speaker 7 (02:30:38):
Well, that's what I was wondering too, is like, what
would have happened had this broke three weeks ago? What
would that have done to the coaching search that was
out there? And where might people have landed differently?

Speaker 11 (02:30:49):
Yeah, I was thinking, you know, would James Franklin take
the Michigan We were still floating around him?

Speaker 7 (02:30:55):
Exactly exactly. Yeah, guy, we were talking a little bit
about the Penguins and while you know, our buddy Joe
Bartnick is here and he's quite the puckhead host of
the PuckOff podcast and two for talking with Josh, Joey
and Joe. I know you're bummed out about the way
things ended against the Ducks the other night, but by
and large, I keep saying, I'm pretty happy with what
the Penguins are doing right now. You and pursuit of

(02:31:17):
Joe have seen a little more angsy over that loss
than I am, because I'm like, well, you know, there's
a lot of a lot of timeline, a lot of
hockey left here.

Speaker 5 (02:31:25):
I just see it as a learning moment.

Speaker 7 (02:31:27):
Guy, Do you think that it had more of an
impact than that that this denotes something else or do
you think it was just another kind of like learn
from that and don't do it again.

Speaker 11 (02:31:38):
Well that you know, fluky own goal put in by
your own hand, you know, with zero point one seconds left.

Speaker 6 (02:31:46):
I think it's easier to wash off something like that. Joe.

Speaker 11 (02:31:48):
I don't know if Joe agrees, but to me, the
worst loss of the year is blowing a three nothing
lead in Toronto in the third period and not even
getting a point out of it. And they rebounded from that.
So I think as long as you got Sydney crust
and I agree with what Mike said on his last
Sports Cats, I think the night is a very important game.
So they because it's not just one game now it's two.
You know, they blew the Dallas game with less than

(02:32:11):
two minutes to go and lost in the shootout. Haven't
won a shootout this year, and in fact, you know,
I think they're one and six, one and seven in
overtime and shootout games this year. The killer is the
first three at the beginning of the year, they scored
the time goal and then you're losing a shootout and
you're like, well, at least we salvage a point. Now
they're giving up the Tian goal. And they're not only

(02:32:31):
just giving it up, they're giving it up late. Nashville
beat him in overtime, scored with less than two minutes
to go. Dallas scored with less than two minutes to go,
beat him in a shootout the Anaheid game, a point
one second left in your own defenseman puts it past.
I think those are more crushing because you blew the
two points rather than salvage the one.

Speaker 9 (02:32:49):
Oh guy, me and Mike, we're talking. It was on
air to today about how I thought the Toronto loss was.

Speaker 5 (02:32:55):
My toughest loss of the season.

Speaker 9 (02:32:57):
But what makes me upset about Monday night was the
almost exact same snare happened at the home opener.

Speaker 6 (02:33:05):
Same thing.

Speaker 9 (02:33:06):
We had to power play down the end of the
ice like thirty twenty seconds left, and boom, they come
all the way back down the ice short handed, and
Jerry had to make a miraculous safe with Malkin and
Carlson just st there looking at him like all you
had to do was kill seventeen seconds. It almost happened again.

(02:33:26):
That's what made me sick.

Speaker 11 (02:33:28):
Well, like Borky said, just tackle the guy. I mean
to call penalty. The plays over and you know at
what kills me. Joe is and I think News has
done as terrific job. Why are La Tang and Carlson on.

Speaker 19 (02:33:40):
The ice in that situation?

Speaker 11 (02:33:42):
You know, Watherspoon's been so good defensively, I mean, I
just I don't know, maybe he played the shift before,
but I don't have two offensive defensemen out there, and
they had a couple of opportunities with puck possession in
the offensive zone with the net empty, and couldn't quite
you know, get a good shot on goal because they
gathered at late and had to go around the back,
try to wrap around or whatever, but from top to

(02:34:02):
bottom and then you know, you know, you have that
wide open net. In overtime on the power play, hit
the post off, the blade of the stick settles in
the crease. Crosby gets three pokes at it, it doesn't
go in.

Speaker 5 (02:34:14):
I couldn't go to sleep.

Speaker 7 (02:34:14):
After that game was over. Guy, did you get a
chance to see the Joe Burrow interview yesterday his media availability?

Speaker 6 (02:34:25):
No?

Speaker 11 (02:34:25):
I did not.

Speaker 5 (02:34:26):
Boy, it looks bad in Cincinnati.

Speaker 7 (02:34:28):
I mean he is given some Andrew Luck kind of
vibes like he might be walking away from the game.

Speaker 5 (02:34:36):
He basically said, you.

Speaker 7 (02:34:38):
Know, it's got to be fun if I'm going to
keep doing this, and it's not fun, and he hasn't
been having fun for a long time, and he's going
through personal and professional issues. He said all of the above,
and it was the most maudlin, you know, press availability
I've seen an NFL player conduct in quite some time.

(02:34:58):
If you're a Bengals fan, man, how do you sit
there and hear that and think like, yeah, we're we're
moving in the right direction. Our franchise quarterback is thinking
about giving up the sport.

Speaker 11 (02:35:09):
Well, when you think about I mean, the Steelers are
a much better situation than they are obviously, but they're
sort of the opposite. You know, They've they've got receivers,
they've got a franchise quarterback. Their defense has been so terrible.
I'm sure their fans are like, and the Steelers rolled
this money at their defense and offensively, they've really struggled
since Ben Roethlisberger retired. But you if one you're getting

(02:35:32):
the crap beat out of you and you're injured almost
every year, and two you see no light at the
end of the time, maybe he's trying to set himself
up to be traded or whatever. You know, I did not.
I don't have to listen to it to try to
get to get the vibe. But can you blame him?
I mean, you get beat up time after time and look,
and you know they've bungled their situation management wise for years.
They're not a well run organization. So he might be

(02:35:55):
just getting fed up and trying to set himself up
to get traded.

Speaker 5 (02:35:59):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (02:36:00):
It seems like he's just been getting beat up so
much there, and he's been sacked more than Andrew Luck.
And he's the same age as Andrew Luck. When Andrew
Luck walked away from the game, that would be a
shocking development.

Speaker 6 (02:36:13):
Yeah, it would be.

Speaker 11 (02:36:14):
And you know, you look, even I thought Lamar Jackson,
even though they were talking about you know, he was
much more mobile than he has when he's had what
he's had a knees, had an ankle, he's had a
hamstring this year, even though he was a lot more mobile.
I still, you know, the Steelers for the most part
just or his kryptonite or whatever, I'm not impressed with
if they get behind and can't run the ball. I

(02:36:38):
just I don't believe in him either. I can't believe
how this whole division is so different than we thought
it was going to be in August.

Speaker 7 (02:36:44):
Yeah two five some five hundred teams today or this
weekend playing with playoff implications in the Ravens and the Bengals.

Speaker 11 (02:36:53):
Yeah, boy, well what a good week weekend of games
though me so often now when you got Thursday night football,
you got Sunday morning football in Europe, you got Sunday
night Monday, and you look at that schedule. I sit
down at one o'clock, I'm like, I'm gonna go put
Ice Meld on the sidewalk. I don't want to watch
just crap. You got Buffalo, New England, the Chargers in
Kansas City, Indy, Seattle, Green Bay, Denver, Lions, and Rams.

Speaker 6 (02:37:16):
I mean, this is a week to have the whole
package and be able to flip.

Speaker 7 (02:37:19):
Around Packers, Broncos.

Speaker 6 (02:37:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:37:23):
Also another good game Vikings Cowboys, and of course Monday
Night Dolphins and Steelers. And Mike Tomlin's pretty good on
Monday Night. I don't know that you're gonna hear any
chance to get him fired on Monday Night Football, at
least I hope not. They seemed to have reacted to
the outrage in Steeler Nation appropriately knocking down Baltimore with

(02:37:46):
basically the postseason on the line retain first place in
the AFC North with that win. What looked different and
what encourages you about that Steelers win? Well, you know, first.

Speaker 11 (02:37:59):
Of all, when you add size at the receiver position,
you know, I mean, Metcalf's already six to two, and
then you put Veldez Scantling in there at six four
and Adam THIELND sixty four.

Speaker 7 (02:38:12):
Whatever.

Speaker 11 (02:38:13):
Look, you know, I love Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson,
but they're both five nine to five pen Scotty Miller's
five nine. I just think that opened things up so
much more for Metcalf. But that aside, it was the
willingness to throw at first play the game. You throw
the ball forty four yards in the year, get a
fifty two yard game on it right off the bat.
Now that you gotta worry more. And then opens up

(02:38:35):
play action pass and you know, the run game everything.
They had three passes of over twenty yards in that game.
He was three for three. They weren't even thrown Downsieald
at all in some of the games this year, So
that that's encouraging to me. Even if these guys aren't aren't, you.

Speaker 6 (02:38:50):
Know, great receivers.

Speaker 11 (02:38:51):
They've added some size and it just looked like in
that game that Metcalf was obviously way more open than
he has been. Tony Romo in the Buffalo game kept
saying he doesn't have any weapons, he doesn't have any
nobody's open when it was a dismal performance by him,
even when he got guys. But immediately the next week
they had a totally different look at wide receiver. And
it gives me some And the other thing is we

(02:39:12):
talked about this before the Bears game, and the Bears
I said they might be good, but they haven't beaten anybody.

Speaker 5 (02:39:18):
Miamis schedule has been a piece of cake.

Speaker 11 (02:39:20):
I mean they haven't. They had won four in a row,
but the last three were against Washington, New Orleans and
the Jets. All three of them are three and ten,
so they got to prove something. They also teams hate
to get on there and play in Miami in September
when it's ninety degrees and humid. Well, the Dolphins don't
fare very well in cold weather and it looks like
it's going to be pretty bad.

Speaker 7 (02:39:39):
Monday Night, Guy Johncker, brought to you by edgres Nyder
and Associates this morning on DV.

Speaker 17 (02:40:46):
Who?

Speaker 4 (02:40:49):
Why google it?

Speaker 15 (02:40:53):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They
don't go to the office if they build it and
Steelers Pro Shop get it direct from the team at
shop dot Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 20 (02:41:07):
With the steeersman on Sunday in Baltimore. They took control
of the Ancy North Division. Now the first step and
keeping it in their control and ultimately winning it is
beating the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night football. If Mike
thomlins track record on Monday Night is any indication, that
shouldn't be a problem for the Steelers. Coach Mike Tomlin
has a twenty one and three record on Monday Night football,
and the Steelers in general have won twenty two straight
home games on Monday Night. That being said, making it

(02:41:29):
twenty three straight won't be as easy as it may
have seemed a couple of months ago when Miami was
one and six, but they've gone five and one since then,
including winning four straight games. Over that four game streak,
the Dolphins defense has given up just thirteen point three
points per game, the best in the league during that stretch.
Also contributing to Miami's late season surge is a powerful
running attack on offense led by Starbuck Devin ah chan

(02:41:52):
A Change is the NFL's third leading rusher with one
and twenty six yards, and he's extremely explosive as he
leads all backs in yards per carry, reaching five point
eight yards per touch. During their four game winning streak,
the Dolphins have rushed for an average of one hundred
and ninety two point twenty five yards and are coming
off a two hundred and thirty nine yard rushing performance
against the.

Speaker 5 (02:42:09):
Jets in their win on Sunday. I'm Tom Opperman with
the Steelers Report.

Speaker 7 (02:42:16):
You see the skyline, you drive over the bridges we
built that.

Speaker 5 (02:42:20):
Ironworkers Local Union Number three isn't just a job, it's
a legacy, and you can start
