Speaker 1 (00:20):
W t V E Pittsburgh and iHeartRadio Station Guaranteed Human, your.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. One A two point
five dv. Our next guest is brought to you by
the Gateway Clipper. He is the host of Football America
and Den Levatard's Metal Lark Network. Ladies and gentlemen, it's
our friend, Pittsburgh's own double d Dave Damashek.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, what's up everybody?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
No?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait, let let's do it again.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Just say it one more time, Pittsburgh Zone.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Not the whole, not from the top, just just just
you know, right at the very.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
End the day, I'll just say your name, okay, day.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, right, and here we go. Let's redo three two one.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Dave Damashek.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
That felt good. I'm glad we went back. Sometimes it's
the word trying to yea up a little bit, okay,
you know what? And and and I feel like that's
in line with the attitude on the banks of the
Three Rivers. Now see all this complain and then belly
ache and things weren't right, and now things feel a
little bit different, don't they. I feel like, like Aaron

(01:30):
Rodgers said, it's the pasting. The Pittsburgh media has to
stay quiet for this week. Is is that the vibe?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Here's Brandy Ballman, Here's here's the vibe. Okay, a couple
of couple of things. Number One, Steeler fans are just
glad to have one more week of relevant, relevant football. Okay,
and that first and foremost, Okay, the season didn't end
because if they lose to Baltimore, it's for all intents
and purposes, it's over all right. And they beat Baltimore
in Baltimore. They did it in a way that had

(02:01):
John Harbaugh pulling his hair out, which is even more satisfactory,
you know what I mean, for some reason, even though
it was you know, it wasn't that the refs helped us. Well,
okay maybe on that one, you know, unnecessary on the
field goal, But that notwithstanding, they're glad, but not in
a way that they're ready to absolve Mike Tomlin for everything.

(02:22):
It's like when you get in an argument with your
significant other and then you yell at them for something
they did wrong, and then that person goes.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
You're right, I was wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I'm sorry, and then you go, oh, okay, all right, I'm.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Glad we agree.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
You're not quite like back to kissing and right.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
You gotta keep the level of anger or whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Right, But I'm glad you agree with me. That's that's
where Steeler fans are right now.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, that's the that's the level of discourse that you
want at Christmas. I mean, I sincerely. The idea that
you want to win the super Bowl is obvious. You
want to finish with a title. But these are the
good times right now for if you're in the middle class,
upper middle class, as the Steelers are currently. Although I

(03:14):
do caution everybody who anybody who looks at it and
feels like and I have when you look on a
piece of paper, I kind of I look at it
and think, like, the Steelers kind of should win the
division now they really should.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
This would be.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Bad if they blow it, given what's left and all
of that. But in the meantime, I think you're exactly right.
Some of my best sports memories are at Christmas time
with the newspaper that's the thing they used to have
before the internet, and sit literally sitting with the with
the with the post gazette open with Uncle Mike and
Uncle Scott, my old man and like I think, wait,

(03:49):
so if we win in week fifteen, we win this one,
but then not that the Oilers have to lose in Cleveland,
and then if they do, we get the wild card.
I'm pretty sure like that is some of the best
conversation there is. So these are the good times, except
for the fact that it would be bad to blow
it from here on out. Dolphins, Browns. The Steelers are

(04:11):
favored in both of those, I mean, very slim favorites
over the six and seven Dolphins, just a level set
for Steelers fans who might be feeling a little bit
too optimistic right now at the time of this recording.
Three point favorites is not great against the Mike McDaniel
who was fired six weeks ago. But so if you

(04:33):
assume two wins there, that gets them Denine, I still
think they very likely need Obviously, if they beat the
Ravens in Week eighteen, it's a rap. But assuming that
the Ravens are playing something and fighting for something, the
Detroit game is the one. Now if we assume even
optimistically that they do handle the Dolphins and the Browns,

(04:54):
I do think that where the Lions are bottom line
is let's root hard for the Lions to lose this
weekend so that they feel like their season is over
and they sort of come out flat against Pittsburgh in
a week from now. I do not think that all
hash is settled yet in the AFC, nor nor should
anybody else.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well, I don't you know.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Joe Burrow's press conference on Wednesday was a head scratcher.
It really seems like with their playoff chances being reduced
to I think three percent chance of them getting into
the first season, like they basically need a million things
to happen and they can't lose. He kind of was

(05:33):
pulling in Andrew Luck. Sounds like he's had all he
can take it. He can't take no more.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
So I think I hear you completely, but I do.
I did hear that, and it was it was kind
of like morose for whatever he is. Twenty five twenty
nine multi moult is that right? Geeh? Multi multi millionaire guy?
And it is from a distance. The thing that strikes
me is that somebody who is not a multimillionaire, it's like, man,

(06:02):
come on, cheer up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Abby Abbey pointed out the perfect part of his whole complaint.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
But the batmobile.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Is the Batmobile. Not fun fun.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Oh have to change the oil?

Speaker 3 (06:27):
What a dork. And And yet even in Pittsburgh, PA,
I have to say I find him delightful. I think
he's great. I really do enjoy Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
I actually do too. I actually like him. I like
him in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I hate that he plays for the Bengals because I
would like to root for him.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
I mean, sheeesh.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Wouldn't it be great if if things had broken differently
and somehow he wound up as the Steelish QB.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
But I shall not coming another team's quarterback in the
same division, Dave.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
And that's how you wind up doing desperate things like
signing Joe Flacco. That's the one thing we have avoided
to this point. And I wonder if Joe Burrow did
hang it up. I will say about him, I think
they have better than a puncher's chance. I know he
seems down in the dumps midweek, which ain't great, but
I also think that that emotional swing of like I
got it beat, somebody in his life will probably say

(07:22):
what we're saying right now, like come on, man, you
bought the batmobile? Come on, do you well? If football's good?
Look at what I got. You look at it, Go
go take a spin in the batmobile and come back
right his rain. I think that if they understand that
the season is over, you want to be relevant for
another week as a human being, and you want to
feel that, Go be Baltimore and do us all a favor,

(07:45):
Joe Burrow. I think that would restore some sense of meaning,
some self worth as a professional and all the rest
of it. And I legitimately think they might do it.
Not until last Sunday watching what happened in Charms City?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Did it?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Did it fully hit me? Maybe the Ravens est ain't great.
Maybe maybe I know, but it.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Has lost the step and Lamar and Harbaugh hate each
other and that's clear, and that almost never works. You know,
ask Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin, who I don't think
we're fast friends in any way, shape or form.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
But Mark Hampton's podcast Dude.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
And then Big Ben had him going to Penn State.
You might have him going to Michigan now who knows,
but uh, you know, Mark Andrews is a head case
all of a sudden. I think when it comes to
play in the Black and Gold, at least he's always
responsible for a huge play that results in their demise.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Their defense.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
The secondary has one great player and a bunch of
also rans at this point. And you know, and I
pointed this out yesterday, if the Steelers were able to
take advantage of the Ravens secondary with huge, big, big plays,
big chunks of yardage there, what do you think Joe Burrow,
even sad Joe Burrow is gonna do with t Higgins

(09:09):
and Jamar Chase providing humongous windows to jump through. I mean,
he is gonna have a field day against them, and
then oh, things are gonna spiral in Baltimore. This is
the team. Don't forget. You love to point this out, Dave.
Nobody is bearing the burden of the case of the
suppostas more than the Baltimore Ravens this year.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I mean, here the thing that people, you know, empirical reality,
people want to deny it all the talking head they
swing the football fans' brain in such a way that
we all are are guided at least towards front runners.
You know, we're supposed to swoon over the past deeds
of Patrick Mahomes ensure we should, But this thing about

(09:54):
like h Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson might miss the playoffs. Well,
free free run for Josh Allen and I guess then
the fact is in the twenty first century, dig this number.
I mean, I think this is a revelation, and I've
mentioned it to you before, but fourteen in the starting
in January of two thousand, fourteen of the last twenty

(10:17):
six Super Bowl champion winning quarterbacks were between their second
and six seasons. The young guys are the guys who
win most of the Super Bowls, way more than the
guys in their alleged primes or the aged ones. Like
this Phil Rivers thing is is fun and funny and
all the rest of it.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Boy, funny, funny is the operative word. Honestly, I love it.
He's got It's not even a dad bod.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
I mean, he's looked.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
He looks like Jared Lorenzen compared to what he used
to look like.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
And I hope, I hope, I hope it happens because
all of us would like, you know, we all like
people sitting up on top of the mountain so that
we can knock him off. And I think they short
just path to doing that is for forty four year
old fat Phil Rivers to come in, come in and
light up the NFL? What what a what a shaming

(11:08):
of all these other guys. It would be like, I
don't like imagine the press conference is like, hey, QB,
how do you explain you throwing two interceptions on a
Sunday that the old man Phil Rivers just went into
Seattle and lit up the Seahawks. What's the explanation for
that one? There would be nowhere to hide. I think
that here's a good question for you. For you guys, though,

(11:31):
would you rather have to go into because given the
news in an all time salacious news week in.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Football, what's what?

Speaker 3 (11:38):
What would be uh the situation you would prefer to
have to go play a pro football game at age
forty four? Or like Quintin Jammer drunk, or I'll throw
a third option in Ricky Williams high. I guys like
to play high. I've heard you know a lot of
guys you know that they they say medicinal reasons after

(12:02):
the game and everything else. Some guys like the burn
treat before a game, which I feel like is the
opposite of performance enhancement. Wouldn't I me, wouldn't you be
kind of like, like, if you're Ricky Williams and like
something somebody's trying to tack you'd be like, come on, man,
you see what I'm trying to do here. I'm trying
to go here, and you're grabbing at me, and come on.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
You know that's the sort of stereotype of the stoner.
There are many people whose psychoactive reaction to THC is
like sinister almost focus on things.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
You know, Okay, I.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Mean I guess so, so so you're talking go more
with the sativa string rather than the yes.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
I'm a little more into God.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
I'd probably run in the wrong direction and be like, from.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
What I carried the ball?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
What more do you want.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
The ball? I ran with it.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Now you're now you're now you're nitpicking.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Come on, Philip Rivers.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
We might be This might be hilarious until the first
time he takes a hit and then doesn't get up
and then his rush up to the emergency room.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Well, if everybody can. I keep hearing people say that,
but sincerely, what I mean was he's he's still six five,
he's still two hundred and thirty pounds or whatever he is.
He's still he was never if he were a guy
if he if he were Cam Newton or Ben Roethlisberger.
And for the same reason that Tom Brady could win
the Super Bowl at forty five but Ben Roethlisberger and

(13:36):
Cam Newton couldn't get the forty is that it's the
Frank Gore paradox. Frank Gore was never Chris Johnson with
you know, four to two speed or whatever. So when
he got old, he hadn't lost anything because he never
had it in the first place. Same thing with Phil Rivers.
He's never dependent on quick twitch athleticism. So I don't

(13:57):
know how how much worse could it possibly go? Oh
than what we saw five years ago. All that said,
I'm with you, it's hysterical.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well, let me ask you this. Do you remember when
you were a kid and you were playing basketball on
a court and like indoor court, and you would dive
for a ball.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Do you ever do that?

Speaker 7 (14:16):
Right?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Right?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Imagine doing that in your forties, just on a on
a baseball. Imagine what that would feel, how much pain
you would feel from that. Now, go ahead and make
the extrapolation to linebacker running straight for you, you know,
to knock you out, hitting you as hard as you can.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
How many basketball courts. Does that equal?

Speaker 3 (14:43):
I hear you, And when you say that, all it
does is remind me of who's the biggest pain in
the ass when you play pick up basketball. It's the
guy who's too old to be out there and people
only half know, which is exactly what Phil Rivers is
going to be with his Colts teammates. I'm aware of
that guy. I've seen him around, but I don't really

(15:04):
know him. And he wears a headband and in basketball
he pulls the stocks up way too high, and he
might show up in the short shorts. And he's the
guy who defends you twenty seven feet from the rim?
Do you get out of my face?

Speaker 8 (15:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
He always u up all over.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
He's like blue, like said, chill out, would you please?
It turns all of us into Ricky Williams. It really
is like, will you chill out a little take a
little bit easier. Stop grabbing at me every time. I'm
not gonna do anything from twenty seven feet away from
the rim.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
All right, Dave, let me go. Why do you think
Quentin Jammer came out with that information about one playing drunk?
Like what what made compelled him to like, you know
what I'm bored. I played drunk eight times. Run with
it everyone.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
It's a great question, but I think it goes back
to the existence of the Jerry Springer Show, right, Like,
I don't where did they dig up all those people
who were willing to go and humiliate themselves like that.
People like attention, Randy, That's what I'm starting to think.
I'm starting to think that, by any means necessary, people
are desperate for somebody to pay attention to them. And

(16:10):
I think Quentin Jammer had been out of the spot,
like maybe a little bit too long.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
All right, Monday Night Football Mike Tomlin versus Mike McDaniel.
I equated it to getting dunked on by Muggsy Bogues.
It can happen, you don't want it to happen to you.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I mean, listen, how many times do you need to
see a quarterback who is precise? Which is what two
is if nothing else, you know, and it's it's not
a rollover situation, like the Dolphins are playing for nothing.
There is a path for them. It's implausible because of
the teams they play after Pittsburgh and if they're being realistic,

(16:49):
But you know, I don't think they're thinking about what's
two weeks or three weeks. It goes back to the
way we started five minutes ago, which is they want
to be relevant for another week. Mike McDaniel wants to
be two and everybody else wants to be and they
keep the ball in the air. If they get the
seven and seven, there is a path for them to
get to the postseason. That's what you kind of don't want.
You want these teams that are you know, I could

(17:12):
have it both ways. The teams get nervous, like there's
stakes in this game. We have to play our best game.
I also kind of like where if Joe Burrow turns
a corner emotionally and spiritually between now and kickoff, it
could be.

Speaker 9 (17:25):
Like Devil make care.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
But they're no, they're no steaks for me. The Ravens
are supposed to win. They have all the pressure on them.
We have nothing. Let's just go light it up and
score sixty eight points tonight kind of vibe. The Dolphins
are capable. They're not a bum team, and you know
that Mike McDaniel for all to talk about too and
and all of that. They like to run the ball.

(17:48):
So the Steelers better be be ready to do to
attempt to do better. I mean, this ongoing thinks their
inability to stop the run it is trouble. I do
think that they figure out, given the history of Monday
Night football and all of that, that the Steelers will
show up.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
And Tom's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
I'm just not I mean, at three points, I forget
about all that straight up winner. That's as far as
I'm willing to go with Pittsburgh. And the other thing
that I have to say before we go is I
thought that the Isaiah likely thing for real. I know
people call me biased and probably not in safe, safe
waters like we're in right now, but the Isaiah likely

(18:31):
thing that should have been a touchdown is The argument
that I've heard is if that were on the sideline,
it would have been a catch. And my argument is
that's exactly why it wasn't a catch in the end zone.
Two feet down and then the dB immediately slaps it
out of your hand. That would be a no catch
along the sideline anywhere. Why would the rule be different

(18:51):
in the end zone? One two bang, the ball is out.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
It wasn't a touchdown there.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
The end zone is different. That's why because the end
zone is different, and that's why if you fumble through
the end zone, it's a touchback on the other way,
because the end zone is not like every other place,
so you can't equate it to any other place. The
end zone remains its own special place. You have different
rules for it, and that's what makes it good.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I listen, I'm not gonna argue with the with the
officials good. I'm glad that it made all of charm City.
If you want to have a good laugh Steelers fans
in your free time this weekend, dig up the steel
shots of Isaiah Likely and focus beyond him and into
the crowd. Look at all the people reacting when they

(19:37):
thought that was a touchdown, their cheerleaders slipping, cheering wildly.
It's the happiest moment of their life. And in about
a second and a half. It's sort of like when
that that moment when you when you stub your toe
and then you know, like all the pain's about to arrive.
It's not here yet, Ah, there it is, and now
you're upset. You you can do that, but if you're

(19:59):
not gonna feel the hey, you know they are about
to feel the pain. In the image which already happened,
and they're still sad about it all these days later.
It's delightful.

For Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
It's d V Morning Show Randy Bauman, along with Abby
Krisner and Mike Pursuda. Our buddy Joe Bartnick in studio
with us this morning 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 by Bett Park sportsbook and casino app gambling
problem Call one eight hundred gambler, Let's get started, Mike,

(21:14):
what am I looking at here? Game number one, the
Raiders at the Eagles 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

(21:35):
in Cleveland, Cleveland, who before he played one down of
football for them, tossed 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 want to bet against Kenny Pickett, yep,
and spot him eleven points this Sunday? What would you

(21:59):
spot bane eleven points? Because Kenny Pickett is football Bane.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
He literally crawled out of the pit.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
You really adopted the doc.

Speaker 11 (22:13):
I was traded into it, and then quickly the dark
was like, boys, hands were small, maybe we should draft
be on Sun.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
And then somebody who was like, jeez, we already have
a lot of quarterbacks.

Speaker 11 (22:23):
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 2 (22:35):
So why am I not on the fence about picket?

Speaker 4 (22:38):
That's what I'm wondering. Plus eleven for one thing.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
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 mess. Their Super Bowl
hangover is the football equivalent of Tiger Woods waking up
half hanging out of the driver's seat of his top
parked on top of his mailbox, still tripping on ambient

(23:03):
and eighteen Mick ultras while his wife throttled him with
a nine iron for nailing a pancake waitress.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
But don't pull it together and cover against the Raiders, right, No,
not necessarily.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
They dropped three straight. They barely won against the teams
they have beat. Not to mention, this is the same
Raiders team that kicked a meaningless field goal last week
as time expired just to cover the spread. In all
time blatant backdoor cover from Pete Carroll, who I guess
figures the only way to save his job in Vegas
at this point is to appease degenerate Campbeller's God bless him.

(23:38):
So unless the temperatures drop so low that Kenny has
to wear two pairs of gloves on Sunday, an actual
possibility for mister dollhands take the Raiders and the Points
with Pete Carroll, It's guaranteed backdoor action.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Abby. I'd like credit for refraining from the easy joke there.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I had a bunch of them, including one about Elton
John on his birthday.

Speaker 12 (23:58):
Next Raven's as plus two and a half.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
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

(24:23):
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, and now it's desperation
time in Baltimore. Last week's loss to the Steelers means
the Ravens need this win like Pat McAfee.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Needs a throat lossenge.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
The Ravens lose 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.

Speaker 9 (24:55):
Fault.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Lamar's missed a bunch of practice because of injuries, and
it sounds like harms ain't two throw it, he told reporters.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Quote, if it's.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
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. 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.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
For that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
How do you think the fair against Burrow and the
boys who routinely gashed defenses. Joey b at four touchdown
passes last week against Buffalo. Schrrey threw a couple of
picks back to back. One was a pick six, but
it was a blizzard. If not for that, the Bengals
get out of Buffalo with the win, and they're the
ones we're worried about. And yes, I saw the press
conference where Joe Burrow said yesterday he's not been having
fun and contemplates whether or not to keep playing.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Yes, it seemed like a football suicide.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Note no, it's not exactly the stuff that makes you
want to run into a battle with him like Braveheart.
But Joe's a gamer, and that Baltimore secondary is gonna
leave some big windows for MOPI Joe.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
That'll give me two juicy to pass up. Take Burrow
and over.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Passing yards on Sunday, and like Jethro Tall, I'm going
bong gals in their jaw.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Dolphins up these Steelers minus three the main event Monday night.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
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. It could happen, you just don't want
to happen to you. 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.

(26:43):
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 to stop a chain, they won't be able to
stop the b chain or the sin And if Derek
Harmon doesn't play on Monday Night, the Steelers are gonna

(27:03):
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 4 (27:13):
In the nine games Harmon.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Has played this year, the Steelers have only allowed an
average of ninety six yards rushing per game.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
In the four games Harmon didn't.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
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. Now, I'm
not talking about the green diarrhea you get after Saint
Patty's they prayed. I'm talking about former Steeler safety Makea

(27:43):
Fitzpatrick returning to Akricher Stadium for the first time since
being traded back to the Dolphins.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
The Steelers gave up a.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
First round pick for Maca in twenty nineteen, which allowed
us to enjoy Duck Hodges to quack his way into
our hearts with a three and three record as a
starter that made us miss out on Justin Herbert in
the draft the next year, which, look, it's worth it, Okay.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
The Duck year was so much fun.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
It was like taking a semester at college because you're
part of your balls off. We were making memories there.
Mink has always honked off about something. One time bitching
so much at Tarrell Austin when he was hurt, he
got Toman to call time out and change the defense
for a game winning interception.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Against the Packers.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
He famously complained that the Steelers had a work ethic
problem or frame. We hear more often than jingle bells
this time of the year, by the way, and Mike
Tomlin labeled him ornery and sent him back to the
team from which they acquired, Miami, the NFL equivalent of
being lost luggage a pointless, circuitous journey. Steelers fans always
complained Minca didn't make enough splash plays, and his defenders

(28:44):
would tell you, we have to appreciate the plays that
Minca didn't make, like he was playing jazz instead of football.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
So MinC is revenge, nothing to worry about.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Temperatures are expected to be in the teens and Tua
is oh for lifetime.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
When the temperatures are under forty six degrees.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Steelers just need to do the football equivalent of taking
a moodium load up against the runs and watch two
go free and out. Tomlin's gonna send Dark Boy in
his vape pens back to Florida and then smoke stuggies
with Jay Lazer and Brett Michaels all night long. Steelers fly,
the Dolphins take the good guys.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
That's it.

If you can't get enough.

Speaker 14 (29:56):
If you're Pittsburgh, Dearly beloved friends, haters and douchebags that
have advanced to the playoffs were gathered here today to
mourn the death of your terrible twenty twenty five fantasy
football team. For those of you who did not know
that departed. They came into this world, as so many do,

(30:17):
drafted in late August amid much hope and promise. This
team seemed bound for big things. Expectations were high and
why wouldn't they be? After all, you secured an elite
wide receiving tandem and Tyreek Hill and aj Brown. You
had Bell Cows in the backfield with Saquon and Breis Hall.

(30:40):
This was your year, and so this squad plucked from
the stars, was given a name fit for a champion,
Steve Suck. A cheeky tip of the cat to your
brother in law, Steve, who, in all fairness, sucks. But

(31:04):
the best slave plans often go awry, and a rocky
season followed. Whether it was injuries, no show performances, or
every dunce in your league having their hot week against
your team, you quickly found yourself behind the gate ball.
It was the kind of year that would make you
quit fantasy football altogether if you were a total loser,

(31:26):
like Notre Dame. But through adversity, real champions are born,
and Steve Sucks would not go gentle into that good night.
You spent hours on Reddit, consuming the advice of strangers.
You sifted through hot garbage on the waiver wire. Week

(31:47):
after week, you skipped your daughter's soccer game to see
if Jerome Ford could score two measly points against the Jets.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
He could not. This team was your baby.

Speaker 14 (32:06):
You loved it like your own and sometimes love makes
you do crazy things like text a picture of a
three D printed gun to the league group chat at
one in the morning, which again was a joke. It
was from Google Images. It's not like you own that, sheesh.

(32:31):
You may have finished tenth in the league, but you
were seventh in points, which is sort of similar to
the Tomlin No losing season's sting.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
But still no one can take that away from you.

Speaker 14 (32:44):
For some, the end of the fantasy football season means
venmoing a dude you now hate fifty bucks with the
memo choke on it. For others, it involves a heinous
punishment which you have to gratify yourself in the restroom
of a waffle house. But as we now lay Steve

(33:08):
Sucks and all the other loser fantasy teams to rest.
Just remember fantasy football is deeply stupid and no one
wants to hear you talk about it. Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust.

Speaker 13 (33:25):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Here's Tom Opferman.

Speaker 15 (33:38):
The Steelers try to build off their big win against
the Baltimore Ravens when they welcome the six and seven
Miami Dolphins to town, who are red hot riding a
four game winning streak into Pittsburgh for Monday Night Football.
One thing going in the favor of the Black and
Gold Monday Night will be the freezing temperatures expected at
game time. Right now, the feels like projection for kickoff
Monday is supposed to be nine degrees and that's a
death sentence for the Miami Dolphins and has been for

(33:58):
almost a decade Miami. He hasn't won a game when
the temperature has been below forty degrees since twenty sixteen
against Buffalo, and their quarterback to a tongue of Iloa,
has a record of zero to five in his career
anytime the ten fips below forty degrees. Despite the weather
advantage Pittsburgh will have over Miami and their quarterback, Tua
also plays into the Steelers defense's hands in another key way.
Tua is currently tied for the league leading interceptions of

(34:20):
this season, having been picked off fourteen times, which bodes
well for a Steelers defense that has eleven picks on
the season. The problem is you have to get Ta
to throw the ball to pick him off, and the
Dolphins have been hiding him during their winning streak, averaging
just about twenty one pass attempts per game in that
four game streak.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Of course, the Dolphins feel no obligation to pass.

Speaker 15 (34:37):
The ball, seeing as they're averaging one hundred and ninety
two rushing yards per game during their winning streak, So
it will be a major key for the Steelers defense
to stop that rushing attack, force Tua to air it out,
pick him off, and win the game. Steelers and Dolphins
kick off at eight fifteen Monday night at Akashuer Stadium.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
I'm Tom Aferman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Ny wdv E Pittsburgh and I Heart Station Guaranteed Human.

Speaker 6 (35:07):
Oscar Meyer is looking for the newest Hotdogger, the person
who is lucky enough to climb behind the wheel of
the Wienermobile and drive around the country. 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.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
So apparently it's very intense.

Speaker 6 (35:30):
You have regular meetings with various teams, and you need
to be a people person of course to do this.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
But you have to have the valor.

Speaker 6 (35:37):
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 costs are covered.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
It's a good gig, but I would never get it
the way I drive. I'd be putting that Wiener into everything.

Speaker 8 (36:00):
And the DV morning.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
Show joe Bartnick.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Just slinging arrows all day yesterday is great hanging out
with Joey b live in studio, and Sean Collier will
be in with us today and we'll be talking to
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Brandon Eccles a little bit later on
this morning. And how about Bastard Beardard Irish been in
the coffeehouse and an interview with Sean Lennon.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
So John Lennon and Yoko Ono son Sean.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
So why Sean Lennon.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
He's gonna review Sean Collier's movies. That is finally, it's
the It's sewn of the Dead this morning.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
I'm so glad somebody's finally holding Sean's feet to the fire.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, he's gonna he's going to take issue with all
of his reviews. No, he has a OSCAR winning animated
short from last year. He and an animator put together
this animated short called War Is Over and it's based
and inspired, of course, on his parents famous Christmas song
and it is now available for free on YouTube, and

(37:04):
he's promoting that fact. He wants people to go and
see it because they couldn't get a distributor for it. So,
you know, animated chorts, you really have to go seek
that out.

Speaker 9 (37:12):
You know.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
It's not something like every time you see those on
the Academy Awards every year, you're like, where do I
go to see those? You know, unless you're doing like
a short film festival, you typically don't get to go,
you know, to the waterfront and just be like two
for that eight minute movie, please, you know. So this
is the way for everyone to watch it, and he's
promoting it. So that's coming up at seven forty five

(37:33):
to dight. Pretty cool stuff. Abby's got a news update
for you.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Now, what's going on?

Speaker 6 (37:37):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
with Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot com. Cold with a passing
flurry this morning and high of thirty three.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
It is really coold. My tire pressure's already. I hate
that screaming yeah, oh, that'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
There's like, there should be a place where you can
pull into that just warms you up while you check
your tire pressure, because every time you have to check
your tire pressure, it's freezing and you never want to
pull over into it. So it just be this place
where you just like pull in really quick and it's
just like it's nice music and it warms you up.

Speaker 6 (38:08):
It's a nice business model. I actually I've already had
probably you don't say I've already had to.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
Do it twice this season.

Speaker 6 (38:18):
There was one time though, I pulled into the gas
station to use the free air thing and the hose
was gone. But I thought I was just being like
dumb and I'm I was trying to still pull the
thing out, and this old guy pulled up and he
gave me this really long man's plaining explanation that in

(38:40):
the winter they take the hose away, and he was
clearly wrong.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
They absolutely everybody's tire pressure goes down.

Speaker 6 (38:49):
Which is what I said to him, because also I
pulled and I waited because I wanted to see if
I was being stupid and I I was missing some
thig because I hadn't done it by myself in a
long time, and I just wanted to make sure I
wasn't like missing a critical step. And so I pulled

(39:10):
to the side because I saw somebody else was coming up,
and this old guy you know, comes up and he
sees that it is also broken, and then I just said,
I'm like, yeah, it's it's something's wrong, like the hose
isn't there. And then he gave me this long explanation
that they take those away in the winter, and I'm like.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Ha, and I said, but why would that make sense.

Speaker 6 (39:28):
Isn't now when my tire pressure is going to be
fluctuating the most? And then he gave me a longer
explanation as to why that wasn't true, and I was like, oh,
you're an idiot.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
You deserved it for engaging him. Yeah, that was dumb.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
One time I went to one of those like on
the side of a get go and there is these
two younger black eyes and they couldn't figure out how
to work it, and so I was waiting for them,
and I was.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Like, I was like, hey, can I help you guys?

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Because I knew I could see they didn't know how
to work and it's you know, you press the butt,
you know, you you dial in the tire pressure and
then you press the button. But they didn't see the
on button. And I was like, can I help you guys?
And you know, I think instinctually they thought I was
being like a male Karen right, yes, And there were

(40:16):
some like racial elements to it, and the guy's like
it was a kid. Basically, He's like, oh, two young
black men can't help themselves set it. And I'm like, no,
you one hundred percent. It's just it looked like you
were And they're like, so you have a problem with
two young black men, you know, And I'm like, I
do not.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
I have no problem with that at all. I'm saying,
it looks like you don't know how to use the machine,
and I'll gladly show you how to do it. And
the guy like started into a like a third comeback
at me, you know, and his buddy was like, no,
hey man, He's like, He's like he's actually just trying
to help, and I'm like, I really haven't.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
I understand that. You're like, you know, that would be
a conditioned response. I get it.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
And also we super don't know how to use it,
so get over here.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
And then I said them, I'm like, hey, man, take
as long as you what I was just trying to
show you. It was just like this funny, awkward thing.
And I'm like, I'm really not. This has nothing to
do with anything other than do you need to put
an air in your tires?

Speaker 6 (41:16):
Do you feel a tremendous amount of pressure, like you
can't make the machine go any faster? But do you
feel awful when there's a line of people behind you
and you don't?

Speaker 2 (41:24):
I do.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Well, I mean, it takes as long as it.

Speaker 6 (41:27):
Takes, it takes me, but I still feel like a
piece of garbage.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Well, if you like go in your car and start
reading a pamphlet or something like that and you're just
not paying attention to it, that's one thing. But if
you're tending to it and it fills up at the
rate it fills up, I do want it to fill
up much quicker, much like I want my gas tape
to fill up quicker. And I get that there are
safety involved in both of those issues, but I kind
of feel like both of those can be twice as
fast as they.

Speaker 5 (41:51):
Are, but they are not.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
But imagine how much gas would be spilled all over
the place if that thing came out even fast, because
there's already a ton of ass to a full service
station a couple of weeks ago without knowing and didn't
know it was a full start. I didn't even know
they had them in Pennsylvania anymore. And I rolled into
one up in the area over Thanksgiving and I got
out and the guy's like, sir, what are you doing?
And I'm like, I'm putting gas in my car and

(42:14):
he's like, I do that here. And I'm like, okay,
you do that here, and he's like, this is a
full service station. For for a second I thought he
was like, I just hang out here and fill up
everyone's gas.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Dude, Hey, I'll take care of this. I'm ted I
fillip gas.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
No, I've seen that in a long time.

Speaker 6 (42:30):
But up like closer to where my sister lives, there
are a couple.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Yeah, and when you get those stations. You gotta kind
of have to be like, I don't forget about the
white walls, you know what I mean, Like it's full service,
check the oil, do this, you know you're paying for it.
But that tip, no, because it's really weird. He came
because you were usually playing paying in credit card. So
I don't know, should you.

Speaker 5 (42:55):
Tip in those situations?

Speaker 2 (42:57):
It feels well, we are so conditioned to tip now
that it would see like that guy deserves a tip
way more before the person who gives you an empty
cup and tells you to go fill up your own
coffee exactly.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
You know, Oh no, but I'm not I'm going to
a gas station.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
I never have cash ever.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
I don't have cash anywhere never. I was like, there
was a person at the thirty first Street bridge who
was like, you know, hey, anything can help, and I'm
like holding up my hands.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
I'm like, I don't. I don't have cash. I don't know,
Like homeless people need to get Venmo now.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
Yeah, which would kind of not help their case.

Speaker 6 (43:32):
Why not the same time, well, they'd be holding on
like you know, an iPhone and be.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
Like anything helps. There you go, that's that over to you.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
I'm not trying to be intensitive. I actually either.

Speaker 5 (43:44):
I'm just saying that, doesn't you know it's not congruent?

Speaker 4 (43:50):
Well, don't they have to hold the phone?

Speaker 9 (43:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (43:53):
I guess you're right.

Speaker 9 (43:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
That's all right. It's all about messaging, folks.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
We can't solve any problems, racial divide, homelessness. We're blowing.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
We're over three right now on working class conditions. All right?
What else you got? Well?

Speaker 5 (44:05):
I didn't even finish the weather quite frankly, I again said.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
It is going to be cold with a passing flurry
this morning in high thirty three.

Speaker 5 (44:11):
Saturday snow is coming in the afternoon.

Speaker 6 (44:13):
The accumulation is going to be somewhere around an inch
or two and high around thirty five, and then Sunday
bitterly cold with snow showers and high around nineteen. With
time running out for twenty twenty five, city officials have
announced plans to ring in twenty twenty six with the
thirty second year of First Night festivities in the Downtown
Cultural District. The December thirty first event is going to

(44:34):
include magic, live music, a holiday market, ice carving, hands
on activities, and more. It's very kid friendly if you
want to bring the kids down to this. There's also
going to be a dollar Bank Battle of the Bands,
which is going to charge up the crowd, so they're
going to have that element as it's well.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah, always like, did you ever do a Battle of
the Bands when you were.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
Younger performing in them? Several?

Speaker 4 (44:57):
Yeah, what about you?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
I did when I was in eighth grade, I did one,
and when I was in tenth grade, I did one.
And the one I did in tenth grade was an
abject disaster and everything kicked out in the rest of
the band, like the the guitar players amp stopped working
and like the PA kind of busted. But my keyboard

(45:19):
was shining through. So I just did like light my fire.

Speaker 4 (45:24):
By myself.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
It just made it a solo performance.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
And someone's like, hey, could you pick a non eleven
minute song, please fill in time.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
We don't want to hear your Casio keyboard.

Speaker 5 (45:36):
Did you save the day?

Speaker 4 (45:38):
No?

Speaker 2 (45:38):
I mean I did this like a brief. I didn't
do the full version of it. You know, I did
a quick one, but that was the kind of you know,
I had my church chops at that point, you know,
Sunday morning Mass.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
But it was mortifying.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
When you're up there in a Battle of the band
and you're like, you know the other bands, You're like,
we're better than those guys, and then you go up
and equipment failure and to panic because you're in young
so panic ensued.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
And it was at a school I.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Didn't go to also, which was another thing, so I
didn't know anybody. Yeah, so that that felt super like
I felt like an interloper.

Speaker 5 (46:11):
The character build of a Battle of the bands.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
My dad's like, how you do? How'd you do? And
I lied, I go, we did awesome.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
I didn't want him to be like, you know, yeah,
barrel head, why would you go there and.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
Not know how to turn on your equipment?

Speaker 5 (46:25):
You would be so proud of me.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
Yeah, I was the best one. Did I did?

Speaker 6 (46:32):
I did them before where there was always like bigger
things on the line, like as the band's kind of
like got bigger, like it would always be like, oh.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
You win recording time or you win whatever.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
So that was the way that you.

Speaker 6 (46:43):
Could get grew like the true embarrassment of having to.

Speaker 5 (46:49):
Really put yourself.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Out there, I mean battle the bands are typically younger
people though right it's not adults aren't usually in Battle
of the Bands.

Speaker 5 (46:55):
One of the last one I did, I.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
Was an adult. It was a year ago.

Speaker 6 (46:58):
No, it was no I remember because I had to
do a Battle of the Bands with an adult band.
And one of the last bands that I was playing against,
my boyfriend was in.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Oh that's hilarious, and he was pissed because you guys beat.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
Him like a pulp rushed him, and he was pissed
because I think like at the end he was kind
of like, you know, you're being really competitive about this,
and I'm like, you know, I want the recording time.

Speaker 5 (47:26):
Yeah, like we can still hang out.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Always a good trait in a guy.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Yeah, he's super jealous of his partner's talent. You're being
super competitive, Like actually, actually I just whooped her aft.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
Sorry.

Speaker 6 (47:42):
The official New Year's Eve countdown to ring in twenty
twenty six is going to be held at the Highmark
Stage on penn Avenue Place. They're the Future of Pittsburgh
Ball will rise nearly seventy five feet to its pinnacle position,
symbolizing a city on the rise, as fireworks fill the
sky and the audience joins in harmony for a rendition
of old line siemes that it would be very sweet

(48:03):
for downtown Bisberg.

Speaker 5 (48:04):
I've been to those first night yes before.

Speaker 4 (48:06):
They're wonderful me too.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
They're super fun, fun for the whole family.

Speaker 6 (48:09):
Really is, and everybody's getting into the year and round
up business, even the the deliciously gay hookup app Grinder.
Here is a sample of their twenty twenty five wrap up.
At least the categories that we can look into. Mother
of the Year is still Lady Gaga. I'm surprised it's

(48:31):
not Chapel Round, but it is Lady. Daddy of the
Year is Jdvans.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
Oh good guess.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
Yeah, Pedro Pascal, you were close.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
Though practically the same guy. I can't tell them apart.

Speaker 6 (48:47):
Mother in Training is Sabrina Carpenter, which I think she's
earned that.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
I think mothers have to be five feet tall. I
think she's the diminut diminuative mother. Am I putting an
extra slog and you put an A in there, but
I'll take that a and make her an ant. Oh
not mother cookie ant.

Speaker 5 (49:11):
There you go. Hottest Man of the Year and this
actually goes I think you got the people's like.

Speaker 6 (49:18):
Sexiest Man of the Year is Jonathan Bailey, who plays
Fierro in Wicked.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Listen, I'm not the target audience for this pole, but
I don't see it.

Speaker 5 (49:28):
I don't see it either. I can't find I don't
know who he is, so find a thing.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
I can't tell you if he's hot.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
Movie of the Year they gave it to K pop
Demon Hunters, which is correct. Bulge of the Year they
gave to Bad Bunny. I haven't noticed. I have not noticed.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
I thought I had my shot this year, right, Yeah,
goiters don't count.

Speaker 6 (49:49):
No, no, they said the gayest fashion trend of the
year slutty little glasses.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Thank god I took mine off.

Speaker 5 (49:59):
Yeah, Sean Collier has his slutty little gloss.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
Those are more of a buddy holly thing.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (50:06):
Best beef this year was Cardi b and Nicki Minaj.
That actually seems kind of tired to me.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
I thought they've been feuding for Yeah. I thought that
was the century. I thought that was old.

Speaker 5 (50:16):
I thought that was also very old. You gotta go
ahead and judge this up. Most bears, they say in Ireland.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
I didn't see that at all, and I looked. I
was searching. Ye I low, No, I don't know, I
would say, like most bears. I would go with like Wisconsin. Yeah,
I thought that's why Chicago was named that.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
I mean Ireland has the bare body type is prevalent
in Ireland, but.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Maybe out in the cable nets sweater areas. Yeah, yeah, okay,
he's just sitting at the pub. He's not cruising grinder, right.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
And the highest percentage of twinks that goes to Switzerland.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
Did you see that?

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I didn't know there was a preponderance of twins in Switzerland.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Also, is twins a slur?

Speaker 5 (51:06):
I don't know that it is. I I think that
it's a positive.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Oh okay, yeah, I don't know. Go on, I have
nothing to have this conversation.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
That's gonna be the last of the list that is
fit for us. Well everything else, and even that, I
would say it a lot of that it was not
fit for us.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Did you see that the story that speaking of Grinder,
the story last week where the woman this guy said something,
posted something super racist on her Facebook post and so
she I like got the guy's ID, searched him on
Grinder and he just to see if he had a
Grinder account because he's got you know, wife and kids
and everything.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
And he had one.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Of course, he does, and so she drove three hours
to his business and like filmed herself driving there and everything,
and then filmed herself walking in and she's like, Yeah,
you're gonna do this, this and this, or I'm gonna
tell everybody about your grinder account. And she never showed
the guy's face and he's like, I'm so sorry, I'm
so sorry. And I like, I didn't know if it
was fake or not. I'm assuming everything's fake now. I

(52:10):
always got in thinking, but boy, there's something that felt
really real about it. And it was gratifying even if
it wasn't real, because I know there's a lot of
that out there, you know, people throwing stones from gay houses.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
That's it's. On the one hand, I want to remind
people that sometimes you think you're doing something clever and
then you get shot in the face.

Speaker 9 (52:29):
Yah.

Speaker 4 (52:29):
Yeah, that is true. Keep that in mind.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
On the other hand, wouldn't it be cool if people
started thinking that they might be held accountable for things
they say online? Wouldn't wouldn't it be cool if people
lost that veil of anonymity where I could be terrible
because who's gonna find me?

Speaker 4 (52:45):
It's the Internet.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Well, if you're not anonymous. It will you will have
to pay the price a lot of times. Uh, it's
the anonymity where it gets bad and you don't know.
Like that's why it's just pointless to argue with people
on the internet because ninety percent of the time their bots. Yeah,
you know, and we all saw that when Twitter made
everybody's origin country available for those few weeks, do you

(53:09):
remember that? And it turned out like all of those
big accounts that were stirring the pot on a daily
basis were all bots from foreign countries, and you know,
they were all trying to sew political discord here in
the United States, and none of those accounts were from
the United States.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Make America great, Bubba from Vietnam? How did this happen?

Speaker 2 (53:27):
It was literally like be like from Malaysian stuff.

Speaker 6 (53:30):
Anyways, No, there was actually I'm trying to figure out
the origin of it now. There was just a Taylor
Swift story that came out in Rolling Stone magazine were
basically said that the entire storyline about the newest album
Life of a show Girl, that had that whole connotation
of her going like full trad wife and like the

(53:54):
narrative underneath that record.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
I didn't know that. That's what the underlap, that it was.

Speaker 6 (53:59):
A smear campaign basically, But now there is proof that
the Rolling Stone article was planted by an AI company
that was hired to so insane.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
Don't talk to anybody, don't believe anything, go live in
the woods.

Speaker 5 (54:22):
I can't even follow any of it anything.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
Now do you know? Here, here's all you have to
know about Taylor Swift though.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
She was on Colbert this past week and he asked
her about the notion that, you know, she's had a
good run of success and there's a lot of critics
who want her to, you know, go away and give
someone else their time at the top, and she's like,
I don't want to, you know, and instead, like the
very smart thing to say there, I think would have

(54:50):
been like, it's ridiculous to think that there's not room
for all kinds of people. There's no limited space at
the top. It's everybody can and in a you know,
rising tide raids is all boats type of thing. But
she's like, no, I want to grind people that I
want to be the person that beats you. And then
then she's viewing it through this competitive lens, which again,

(55:14):
anytime you do art if you're competitive, like, you're kind
of missing the point of what gives it the soul
that everyone loves in the first place.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
Maybe I'm wrong, though, who knows.

Speaker 5 (55:27):
When you go shark eyes, it's just not as cute anymore.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Just something, that's all I'm saying, a little a little
humility when you when you're putting up songs about your boyfriends.

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Would I forgot you wrote that song?

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Isn't it great that I like a guy with a big,
old big Probably. I mean, I'm happy for you, but
this seems like more of a you conversation. Yeah, you know,
the ball's been bouncing off his head quite a bit
since you wrote those songs.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
F YI.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
And you know what, look credit to her. She made
the NFL take her off those broadcasts. She still goes
of the games, they just don't show her.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 6 (56:03):
I mean Travis recently said though, that, like he even
said he had some kind of conversation where he was
saying that he didn't want her songs played in the
stadium and all that kind of stuff, and that they've
tried to insulate their very very public relationships.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
Probably sick of them.

Speaker 5 (56:18):
Yes, save me.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I can't take her anymore.

Speaker 5 (56:22):
I can't get out.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Let's see how interesting he is when he's done playing.

Speaker 16 (56:28):
Her.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
All the podcasts in the world, I can't believe that
that one is is popular. It's number one. It's just
two guys saying nothing. Maybe that's what people want. Maybe
people want to have that.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
You know, hey, if it weren't for people tuning into
people saying nothing's situation happening right now on the way
for you. Brandon Eckles from the Steelers is going to
join us in about six minutes at seven forty five.
Sean Lennon joining us here on the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 17 (56:56):
Did you play something for me?

Speaker 4 (56:57):
The answer is always yes. When you build, didn't menu.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (57:01):
That would make my day sound much better.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
The all request the Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on
d V from.

Speaker 10 (57:09):
The Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptional service.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional It.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
Is the DV Morning Show. Mike Pursuited joining us now.
Some concerning news on TJ Watt. We're waiting here for
Brandon Eccholes is going to join us here in just
a little bit.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
But the TJ. Watt situation is concerning.

Speaker 12 (57:29):
Absolutely concerning, and not a whole lot of hardcore information
other than Watt's got a lung issue that he began
experiencing on Wednesday and wasn't at practice yesterday. Here's what
Mike Tomlin had to say about it yesterday.

Speaker 18 (57:45):
I'm a little bit, you know, cost us about what
I say because I'm not a medical expert. But to
make a long story short, he was experiencing some discomfort
when he was at the facility yesterday, and so we
took him to the docs, and you know, they're going
through some procedures. He stayed overnight in the hospital. He
has a lung situation that's being addressed. I think he

(58:08):
has some testing and so forth ahead of him this afternoon,
and that's all I know at this juncture. He and
I communicated last night. He was comfortable, and that's all
I have really at this point. His status for Monday
night is really up in the air. I think what
transpires this afternoon is going to provide more information for us.

Speaker 4 (58:25):
I just don't have a lot as I stand here today.

Speaker 5 (58:27):
Can you tell us what prompt did that this comfort?

Speaker 8 (58:29):
I don't know, No, I do not.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
There was a report that came out and said that
it could have occurred during treatment.

Speaker 18 (58:35):
Is there anything because I don't know specifically when it occurred.
I know he was in the cafeteria at one point
and that's kind of when I got wind of him.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
But to your knowledge, was he being with anything that
was worthy of being on the jury report at any point.

Speaker 18 (58:46):
Not to my knowledge at all, particularly in game or
after the game.

Speaker 5 (58:49):
Nothing to make sure he is still in the hospital
currently ran now, Yes, so.

Speaker 12 (58:54):
It wasn't a football injury based on that, correct, And
the teen's statement said lung disc comfort one on one
equals painkilling shot.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
Yeah, and something went wrong. Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
About I don't know if it's painkilling shot or what
shot it was. I mean there, it could have been anything.
But if it was near the ribs and they punkt
it along. There's the one case that everybody's comparing this to,
which is to Rod Taylor. Now his situation, the automatic
assumption is, well, this will be this is going to go.
The pathology of this will be the same. So he

(59:30):
was out for five games. His was a big deal.
I mean, he sued the team.

Speaker 12 (59:35):
Well, he got a staph infection, did he not. I
believe that was part of it, which is why it
was so long.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Yes, I don't know if that's why it was so long,
or that ran concurrent with what would have been the
normal time to get over.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
I don't know if it's a punctured lungs.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
I don't know if it's How do we not have
more pulmonary knowledge between the two of us.

Speaker 6 (59:59):
Your lungs are not just you know the drawing that
you saw, like they kind of.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
Go eliminate us. Abby.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
Well, I'm just saying, like you can reach your lungs
even from like your top.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Of You got a lot of lung, and if you're
a professional athlete, you probably have slightly more lung.

Speaker 6 (01:00:14):
Yeah, there are many places in which they could have
reached his lungs.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
I mean a quick search.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
It just it says that he got a punctured lung
to Rod Taylor did in twenty twenty, and it was
the needle going too deep during nerve block, causing air
to leak im pressure on the lung, resulting in hospitalization,
significant distress, prompting lawsuit doesn't say anything about the infection.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
Okay, well it was a while ago. I don't know,
but this is a big screw up, not just certainly
what anybody wanted to hear.

Speaker 12 (01:00:46):
Get ready for a team that just runs the ball
down everybody's throat. Although Aaron Rodgers isn't counting TJ Watte
out just yet.

Speaker 8 (01:00:57):
I haven't talked to TJ.

Speaker 19 (01:00:58):
But I would never bet against anybody in the Watt
family of being able to deal with something small or
large and getting back on the field as quickly as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Well, there you hear from the quarterback, and now you're
going to hear from defensive stalwart for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Brought to us by calli Ante Pizza and Draft House,
the Pizza Champions. It's Brandon Eckles joining us on the
dB morning. So let's give him a big round, a plause, Patan,
and hell of the season.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
Brandon, Good morning? How are you man?

Speaker 8 (01:01:26):
What a dude?

Speaker 9 (01:01:27):
How you doing all right?

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
First of all, congrats on the season that you're having.
I don't know that there was a ton expected from
you this year from the fan base, but you've quickly
become a fan favorite for multiple huge plays that you've
been making. Both you and James Pierre seem to have
stepped up significantly here.

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
They Those weren't the two names that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
We were hearing in camp that we're going to drive
this defense to what coach Samlin then said, could be historic.
But you certainly have played your way in through various reasons,
into being one of the most relied upon members of
that secondary. Was there a turning point for you, like
a game where you're like, hey man, you know I'm
going to be a huge contributor to this defense.

Speaker 9 (01:02:10):
I mean it I started when you know, they first
sign me. You know, I always knew what I was
capable of.

Speaker 20 (01:02:16):
You know, it's basically coming out of New York, you know,
I was just you know, I had to deal with
the cars that I was dealt, you know, And I said,
once I get a new chance, I'm gonna you know,
so so the team, what I can you know, actually
do and I could perform?

Speaker 9 (01:02:29):
And you know, that's just kind of the mindset. I
came into this organization with.

Speaker 12 (01:02:34):
What's what's working specifically for your brandan just you find
a home on the slot?

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
Uh do you prefer that over outside?

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Is it?

Speaker 12 (01:02:42):
Is it the guys around you? What's what's clicked here
that didn't click with the Jets maybe.

Speaker 20 (01:02:48):
I mean, I'm not gonna say, you know nothing to
click with the Jets. You know, I was just behind,
you know, a great set of guys within you know,
d J. Reed, U south Garde, now you know Mike
Carr and you know I just rotate.

Speaker 9 (01:03:01):
In as needed.

Speaker 20 (01:03:02):
But you know with Pittsburgh, you know, I just you know,
I wouldn't say I prefer you know, corner o slat.

Speaker 17 (01:03:09):
I love.

Speaker 20 (01:03:09):
I love playing both, you know, especially now that I'd
have got real comfortable in the slot, like I come
to realize, you know, slot is you know, actually fun.
You know I'm able to get around the ball, you know,
so what you know what I can do, you know
with making plays on the ball in regards with that.
But I wouldn't say, you know nothing just then click it.

(01:03:29):
Just I you know, like I said, I had to
deal with the cars that I was dealt, you know,
being in a position that I was in.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
You were one of the few guys able to bring
Lamar Jackson down this past weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:03:39):
You guys got to him a bunch.

Speaker 15 (01:03:41):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
It couldn't have been the easiest guy to bring down there,
but a huge turnaround for the Steelers defense week to
week was that better play from the Steelers defense, a
philosophy shift or just better execution by you guys against
the Ravens.

Speaker 20 (01:03:58):
I'm gonna say good execution, a good play calling from
you know, our DC, and you know, just being going
out there, you know, playing at one hundred percent. You
know that's the best thing we could do for ourselves,
you know, to go to where we want to go.

Speaker 12 (01:04:11):
What'd you take of Pittsburgh Baltimore in general? How do
what kind of game is that?

Speaker 9 (01:04:17):
You know? I love I love the Ribberry I'm not yeah,
I'm not gonna lie. It's something fun. You know, it's
really tense. Uh A lot of hitting, a lot of talking.
You know, it's on you know that you live, you know,
you live for to do.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
Brandon, I got to ask you about your role as
a gunner as well.

Speaker 12 (01:04:34):
And a bunch of us talked to Ben Scronic yesterday
about TJ or excuse me, DK Metcalf just.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
Kind of taking that last rep. How'd that go down?
As far as you can tell?

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Uh?

Speaker 20 (01:04:48):
So I ended up running out there, you know, I
didn't know what was going on. I lined up on
one side of the field and I seen being on
the opposite side. And so when Ben ended up coming
back and I'm.

Speaker 9 (01:05:01):
Like, like, what are you doing? He was like Jim
just ge. I'm like what. And then I look on
the other side and I see d.

Speaker 20 (01:05:09):
K and I'm like, yo, nah, Well like nah, what's
going on?

Speaker 17 (01:05:13):
Though?

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
How did he do? Bet cap? A rep?

Speaker 9 (01:05:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
It was a good rep.

Speaker 20 (01:05:23):
Well, you know, his first time playing gun You go
get double team? You you a dude, the double team?
Getting double team? That's a gun is at It ain't nothing.

Speaker 9 (01:05:33):
It's far from easy.

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
Uh So what do you make of Pittsburgh?

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
You know, you're having been here for for several months now,
how have you assessed what it's like to be playing
for this iconic franchise and a fan base that you know,
when you were at the Jets, that's a team that
was kind of you know that that is a long
suffering fan base. Though they are you know, they're ardent fans,
don't get me wrong. But Steeler Nations a little different. Yes,

(01:05:58):
a Steeler Nation is a different animal, is it not? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:06:02):
Nah, it's different here.

Speaker 21 (01:06:04):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:06:04):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (01:06:05):
I just love I love the atmosphere. I love you know, how.

Speaker 20 (01:06:07):
Committed the fan base is. You know we do went
to you know, some of these you know, far away games,
and you would think it's a home game with you
know how much you know how many Pittsburgh Still fans
are idea And I'm like, bro, like, what is going on?
Like they make it, you know, they make it really
they make it real comfortable, you know when you go
to them away games, so you know it ain't a

(01:06:29):
bad look good.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
You're and you're a Memphis guy originally, like Calvin Austin right.

Speaker 20 (01:06:36):
Now, I'm a Mississippian, but I'm right outside of Memphis,
Like I said, like the town I stay in that
I'm from is South A, Mississippi, which is literally probably
like five minutes from the borderline of Memphis.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
How's high school football in Mississippi fast, I'm guessing.

Speaker 9 (01:06:54):
I mean it's smooth. You know. It an't got more
competitive over.

Speaker 20 (01:06:58):
The years, you know in regards of you know, more uh,
you know, more college teams going to recruit out there now,
especially you know after my class.

Speaker 9 (01:07:06):
I don't want to brag too much, but you know
this is just the way it is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Yeah, of course, man, once you led the way everybody
else you know, Yeah, it's just like Nirvana and Seattle.
Everybody goes and signs the bands there that that's how
it goes. Brandon eckles with us, and he's been having
a hell of a season, and I've been saying all
along like this is a guy who just makes plays
NonStop and you're tough as nails. Man, how's your how's
the concussion situation right now? Because you were evaluated for

(01:07:33):
you know, getting your bell rung in that game against
the Ravens and then ended up coming back.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
I'm good.

Speaker 20 (01:07:39):
I'm all good though. You know, I don't like missing games.
I'm not the type of one to miss games. And
even if I'm hurt, if I if I can walk,
I feel like I can play. This is, you know,
the kind of standards I said for myself. That's how
I always been, you know, growing up in high school.
That's what I was kind of molded to be be like.
So you know, when I'm hurt, you know, I'm probably

and Slay and.

Speaker 4 (01:09:18):
Everybody's like, oh, Okay, who's this guy. Yeah, and you know,
thank god for him and James Pierre.

Speaker 12 (01:09:23):
What did they need him? Yes, And it was funny.
We were talking to Chronic about that whole Punk situation.
At the end of the Ravens game. Schronick's hand was
he had a finger problem or a hand problem. So
Metcalf went out to replace Schronic just he just did
it and Chronic when I was like, I'm not missing
this rep and Metcalf said, I got it. So Chronic

(01:09:46):
went to the other side and told get.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
Off the field. That's awesome. I mean, it's kind of goofy,
like it'd like to result in too many men on
the field.

Speaker 12 (01:09:57):
But you know, the motivational the part all those guys,
since they're all just the all in nature of that
Ravens game was something to behold. Abby's got your news

here and really honored to have our next guest here.
An Academy Award winner for Animated Short last year at
the Academy Awards for the Animated short movie War Is Over,
inspired by the music of John and Yoko his parents.

(01:12:31):
It's Sean Lennon here on w DV Morning. Sean, how
are you.

Speaker 17 (01:12:37):
It's good to be here.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
Well, thanks for making time for us here. War is Over.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
You know, I heard all about it when you won
the Oscar last year, but now it's being released on
YouTube and there's a whole lot more going on.

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
Tell us about it.

Speaker 21 (01:12:52):
Well, it seems like it's been forever that we've been
trying to get this film out of the public, and
we finally have released it on the John Lennon YouTube
channel in a cooperation with Elton John and Mark Ronson
actually and the Beatles channel as well. And yeah, we're

(01:13:13):
trying to help base money for War Child, which is
a really amazing charity that helps children and families with
children who are affected by war. And it just seems
like everything came together at the right time because Christmas
is coming and it's a Christmas song and a Christmas film.
So yeah, it seems like it worked out finally.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
Yeah, And I'm axious for everybody to see this and
check it out, because when I initially heard about it,
I was like, oh, I would like to see that,
and it was hard to find.

Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
Now it's super easy on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
I would assume a good deal of your desire to
raise the social consciousness toward peace was driven by your parents.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
The film is inspired by the music of your parents,
John and Yoko.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Did they have a metric for what would be considered
a level of success toward that goal? Do you? And
is that important or is it just something you should
do as an artist?

Speaker 21 (01:14:07):
Well, look, I mean I think in reality, not just
my dad, but his whole generation probably would be surprised
at how how how much the world is too unentangled
in wars all over.

Speaker 17 (01:14:22):
I think the sixties generation.

Speaker 21 (01:14:24):
You know, after the Summer of Love, I think they
thought maybe mankind was heading towards some kind of you.

Speaker 17 (01:14:29):
Know, each hopie or something.

Speaker 21 (01:14:33):
And you know, at one point, I think my dad
even said, you know, the sixties failed, so what now
it's time to you know, now it's time to win
or something.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Yeah, flower power failed, right, Yeah, that in the.

Speaker 21 (01:14:44):
Late seventies, and yeah, I think on some level, you know,
there's a there's a real sense that the sixties vision
maybe didn't completely succeed, But you know, I try to
think of it.

Speaker 17 (01:14:57):
As it was. It was a set in the right direction,
and I.

Speaker 21 (01:15:00):
Think, you know, we have a responsibility to remain optimistic
about the future of humanity because you know, what are
our chances if we don't think positively.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
I couldn't agree with you more.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
And I always look at things like this like bus
stops along the way to getting to the destination, and
if you're not headed in.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
The right direction, well then you're you're certainly doomed.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
And the charitable aspect component of this for Warchild that
you talked about certainly does distinguish this apart from just
a message of peace.

Speaker 21 (01:15:31):
Yes, And you know, honestly, when you started making the film, uh,
you know, we had been asked to make some kind
of video clip for Wars over Happy Christmas, Wars over
the song and which is obviously a peace anthem, a
Christmas anthem.

Speaker 17 (01:15:46):
As well, but.

Speaker 21 (01:15:49):
Prutin invaded Ukraine actually after we had already started the film,
so it actually became you know, kind of futurely or
uncannily relevant while we were making the film, So it
went from just kind of a project that we you know,
sort of had an intention to do because we've been
asked to do it, into a project that we thought

(01:16:09):
had real world relevance and suddenly became salient, you know,
in a bittersweet sense.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
I think the very poignant part of this is that
it deals with the story is set in World War
One trench warfare that really shows you the brutality of
war in a day and age when we are sort
of disassociated from it and think that it's all of
these star wars, technological type of warfare that's occurring, and
it really reminds you that that's not what war is.

Speaker 21 (01:16:40):
Well, and the reality is when I was a kid,
you know, in the nineties, most people thought that we
were heading towards the kind of global unity.

Speaker 17 (01:16:50):
I mean, I remember that.

Speaker 21 (01:16:52):
Book The End of History and that, you know, we
thought China was going to become a you know, fully
democratic and he.

Speaker 17 (01:16:59):
Thought the Iraqi people. I didn't think that, but.

Speaker 21 (01:17:02):
A lot of people about that Iraq was just going
to jumped into like our lap and become a democracy
and it was a lot more complicated than that.

Speaker 17 (01:17:09):
And I think, you know, they.

Speaker 21 (01:17:11):
Call it a tripolar world now, where we're moving towards
a tripolar world, and I think we didn't see it coming,
you know, we didn't see the constant coming. But there's
something in humans that you know, maybe is from three
hundred thousand years of evolution.

Speaker 17 (01:17:25):
That we have a little violence in us.

Speaker 21 (01:17:27):
And I do think we have the opportunity to evolve
beyond it, but I think.

Speaker 17 (01:17:31):
It's going to take time.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
The last question I have for you, Sean Lennon with
US War is over the Academy Award winning animated short
available now on YouTube. We're a few days past the
anniversary of your father's passing. I recently saw that famous
footage of Paul listening to the recording a Beautiful Boy
on the BBC special soon after John's death. I remember being,
you know, a young person at that time and feeling

(01:17:54):
like the whole world had a significant level of concern
for you because you were so young and undergoing something
so traumatic. Was that something that you felt at the time,
you know, I.

Speaker 21 (01:18:06):
Think I wasn't as aware of it then as.

Speaker 17 (01:18:09):
I was over the years.

Speaker 21 (01:18:13):
I remember meeting Harrison Ford, and he told me that
his mom had thought about me when she was writing
the screenplay for Et, and that she decided that Et
would would die essentially or be hurt.

Speaker 17 (01:18:30):
I think he comes back.

Speaker 21 (01:18:31):
I don't remember, but because of what happened to my dad,
because she she did it.

Speaker 17 (01:18:36):
She said she.

Speaker 21 (01:18:36):
Did it for me, which I was shocked by, but
I didn't want to until my thirties. And yeah, I
mean I did get a sentive that later on that
people were thinking about me, But at the time I
think it was more just overwhelming. I mean, you know,
I was at the Dakota and there were thousands of
people outside singing Beatles songs for weeks on end.

Speaker 17 (01:18:57):
And you know.

Speaker 21 (01:18:58):
Every year on my birthday in December eighth, the would
be crowds outside and it was it was it was
something that was very sweet, but it was also kind
of disorienting. It was a little confusing, you know. I
suddenly went from just being an normal kid, so having
to really understand that my dad has this relationship with
Republic And it was in a very abrupt way that

(01:19:20):
that whole story unraveled.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
Sean Lennon War is Over. It's available on YouTube now.
It won an Academy Award for Animated Short, and its
messages as poignant today as the day that his parents
wrote the song that inspired the film. Sean, thank you
so much for your time this morning, and all the
best going forward.

Speaker 21 (01:19:40):
It's only eleven minutes long and it's free, So free
senate to your friends. You know, we worked so hard
on it. I want as many people to see it
as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
Yes, so we're going to make sure that we're going
to post it for people here on our website. Thank you,
you got it, Sean Lennon.

Speaker 4 (01:19:55):
Thanks so much, Sean, take care.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
Wait a minute, Okay, this is an actually as righteous
as we thought we were being here, we thought everybody
involved in this movement was very above board and we
all had the same goals in mind because they had
remained very much like, we want to bring everyone together,
and they saw the movement as they began to delve
into the more extreme wings of it being something that

(01:20:20):
was hell bent on being divisive. Sure or divisive, I
don't know. Sometimes some people say divisive and it always
kind of makes me get it's a little nail and divisible.
That's how I roll. But after that, you know, they
have Sean and it's like he turned into a different
person if you listen to the music he was making

(01:20:41):
with the Plastic Ono Band and just that first stuff
versus what ended up being Milk and Honey. Sean is
the beautiful boy of Beautiful Boy Boy, and I mentioned
it to him in that interview. There's a reel that's
going around and you could seek this out if you want.
The BBC did a piece shortly after John died, asking

(01:21:02):
all of these UK luminaries about pop stars, you know,
what would be your desert Island record? What would you
take with you and Paul McCartney. I think you can
pick like three, and one of the ones Paul McCartney
picked is Beautiful Boy And then they play it and
he just sits there and listens to it, and it's
like watching Paul McCartney listen to John Lennon, who had

(01:21:25):
just died a couple maybe a year ago, saying about
his son is somehow the most compelling, Like ninety seconds.

Speaker 4 (01:21:34):
Of video you watch and you can just see.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
All the thoughts behind his eyes, and then at one
point he kind of starts singing along to it, and
it's really hard to not be like, jeez boo.

Speaker 4 (01:21:45):
It's getting dusty in here. I didn't need beetle feelings
this early in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
And they had such a complex relationship. It would have
been very interesting to see how that one would have
evolved because where they would have been in the nineties.
You know, I think John loved Paul a lot more
than people understood. I think that they came to view
it as like, well, John was the punky one and

(01:22:12):
Paul is the poppy one. But they very much appreciated
who they were in each other's lives. Like a lot
of creative relationships bust up and you know, there's a
big bang that happens and the dust scatters all over
the creative universe. But those two were very much like
revolving around the same sun.

Speaker 6 (01:22:32):
It's very likely that time could have healed any wounds that.

Speaker 5 (01:22:35):
Were created because of the pressures of fame.

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
Yeah, I think George is the one who couldn't stand
Paul more than John.

Speaker 5 (01:22:44):
He did get angry, like.

Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
He didn't want to be there, like, all right, I'll
show up and play the songs, but I'm not getting
involved in all of this.

Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
Well, George did interviews where he's like later in life
where he's like, I think I was bown on the
wrong planet. I like being in my garden, and then
when I have to go outside my garden, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:23:06):
Like, get me back into the goden.

Speaker 5 (01:23:09):
I hated him.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
Yeah, there was a reason he dealt so far into
Eastern mysticism because he just he couldn't stand people. It
very clear he kind of couldn't stand most people.

Speaker 6 (01:23:23):
Yeah, George Harrison learned about boundaries before they were cool, so.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
That's why that all appealed to him. And I don't
even know if it worked for him. Like, imagine how
uptight would George Harrison have been if he wasn't into
all the Eastern philosophy, religion, you know, if he wasn't
meditating and doing all those things, he would have just
been a crazy person.

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
Do you think there ever would have been a Beatles concert?
You think they would have gotten back? I mean, oh,
my god, like something. They would have never needed the money, no, but.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
The allure of doing something like that, yeah, and just
the fun I think they would have had later in life.

Speaker 4 (01:24:03):
Yeah, I think we were robbed of some really cool stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Although I wonder if you know, death is the thing
that creates legends if they stick around, does it actually
and they do go on a world tour of the
Beatles Symphony, the Magical Mystery Tour of nineteen ninety six
happens or something, does that actually take away from their
legacy in the long run?

Speaker 4 (01:24:26):
You know what wasn't good the Police Reunion tour. Uh well, yeah,
sometimes you get back together and the energy, the youthful
energy is gone.

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
But it didn't ding their legacy. I mean no, they
weren't the same thing. I'm talking about like Elvis, you
know what i mean, Like Elvis in the Vegas years.

Speaker 16 (01:24:45):
It kind that put a little bit of a dent
in the legacy because people don't give him enough credit
for stealing all of those black people's great songs.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Right he walked into the convenience store and picked right
stuff to steal. Yeah, but you know, such was the
culture at the time. He did inspire a lot of people.
I mean, the Beatles loved Elvis, you know. And the
Beatles never had their vaguest moment. I don't know if

(01:25:16):
they would have. I just wonder even I mean, well.

Speaker 6 (01:25:19):
The the artist that's easiest to compare to them would
be the Stones. And even in the way like the Stones,
like you know the memes that go around about them
sometimes where it's like, here are Keith Richards beautiful daughters,
and whenever they die, he.

Speaker 5 (01:25:38):
Like everybody lives.

Speaker 6 (01:25:39):
They can live long enough to become a punchline in
some way. They're still revered. But you know, who would
have thought that stones would have been touring at their capacity.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
Oh to be lucky enough to live long enough.

Speaker 5 (01:25:51):
To embarrass yourself, to embarrass yourself.

Speaker 4 (01:25:53):
That's right. I remember my dad saying when I was
very young, talking about going to see the Rolling Stones
because he thought this has to be my last chance.
The year was nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
He was sure that in nineteen eighty steel Wheels, the
Steel Wheels would be the last big go round. I
saw that tour at three River Stadium. I believe that's
where that was, was it not? Yeah, steel Wheels tour
was that nineteen eighty nine?

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
Yep, August of eighty nine. He said he was the
only one who wanted to go in early and see
living color. Everyone else was getting drunk in the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (01:26:28):
That makes sense. You can still see living color. Yeah,
they're also still around. You can go see, yes, and
the fellas probably a cheaper ticket than the last so
and so I saw saw was not the last one
at Hinzielder Acker. Sure, it was the one two times ago,
and it was like, I don't know, three hundred a
ticket and I was like, I think I'm good. And

(01:26:50):
then when they came through, everybody I know that went
said it was amazing and I screwed up and I
should have gone, but I just I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
There was like a principle to it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:00):
So I think you have to stop when you are satisfied.
That last the last Elton John show that I went
to was PPG. I didn't go to the PNC one.
Oh oh the one.

Speaker 5 (01:27:11):
I left that PPG show completely.

Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
Say sheated.

Speaker 5 (01:27:20):
I was so happy. I was on a cloud. He
played it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:25):
Tonight.

Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
I was so happy he played everything I wanted to play.

Speaker 6 (01:27:30):
There were a ton of surprises on it and I
just didn't need to see it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
Yeah, that's some way to do it sometimes, and I
had to be okay with that. Yeah, it's like the
who came through with the Quadrophenia tour, uh, you know,
twelve years ago or whatever it was, and it was
not good. Roger was bad. And then the next time
they came through, maybe three or four years later, they
were outstanding. It was so good, and I'm like, I
never want to see him again for that exact same reason,

(01:27:56):
because I'm afraid it won't be.

Speaker 5 (01:27:57):
As good like going back for a seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
I was a little worried about McCartney last month, be
in the same way like I was worried McCartney was
gonna end up being not a great show. The power
of those songs is such that he could get by
by being mediocre and it would still be a great concert.
And if we're being honest, of course he tried to
perform some stuff that he simply cannot do anymore. It

(01:28:23):
didn't matter. It didn't take away from it at all.
It was still you know, you're there watching Paul McCartney
sing those songs.

Speaker 4 (01:28:31):
It's hard to even draw a comparison.

Speaker 2 (01:28:33):
To It's like, oh, Beethoven's here playing the fifth, Well,
let's go see if Beethoven still has it.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
I'm regretting that. I was looking at it all day
and it was like, I'm regretting not seeing Beethoven. Yeah, yeah, right,
And it was like two hundred to be behind the
stage and six hundred to be looking at the stage.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
And I thought, I can't do this for McCartney. Understandable.
And that's where the live Nation crap drives me nuts. Yeah,
because the secondary market immediately gets inflated, like the tickets
are on sale, and then why aren't there on he left? Well,
I don't know, but there's a bunch on the secondary market.
Well was there ever a primary market?

Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
Right? No, That's that's why I'm trying to resist Bob
Dylan next year because don't it used to be you
knew that you were just going to go there and
stare at him, say, I mean, yeah, but it was
forty eight dollars since the movie came out, it's two hundred.
Is that true? Oh, it's it's skyrocketed after the movie because.

Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
People think they're gonna go and see Timothy show they're
blowing in the wind.

Speaker 4 (01:29:36):
Yeah, yeah, that's not gonna happen though.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
All right, Michael being here just a little bit with
your sports, we're gonna have Sean reviewing the new Knives
out is out and Knives are out?

Speaker 4 (01:29:46):
Yes, that's right.

Steelers and your Steelers, well, and I mean your Steelers,
I meant like the listener.

Speaker 4 (01:30:09):
Or Rooney Steelers and Mike Tomlin Steelers, everybody Stealers and TJ.

Speaker 12 (01:30:14):
Watt Steelers as well. They might not be Monday Nights.
He might be watching with the rest of us sports.
This hour brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 18 (01:30:22):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
TJ.

Speaker 12 (01:30:23):
Watt at the upmc rooney Sports Complex for practice yesterday.
That's because he had been hospitalized after experiencing lung discomfort
at the practice facility on Wednesday. That according to a
statement released by the team, Watt's status for Monday Nights
hosting and the Dolphins is in question. That also, according
to the team, Mike Tomlin briefly just the media after

(01:30:45):
practice yesterday, but didn't have a whole lot to say
about it, And he prefaced his remarks by saying he
would not have a whole lot to say about it
because he's not a medical expert. But they're in a
holding pattern with TJ. Watt, which ain't great.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
This is a a major f up if we don't
know all the details.

Speaker 4 (01:31:06):
We do not.

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
But when a player gets hospitalized for lung discomfort, like
it's a weird thing, you know, to just be like,
he my lung hurts, right, there's a reason. It's because
someone stuck a needle in there.

Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
If I know it was my lung.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
You would if someone put a needle into your ribs
and you were like, oh my god, does that hurt
because my lung was just punctured, I'd probably be like
that with most needles just in general.

Speaker 4 (01:31:35):
I just think that even TJ.

Speaker 8 (01:31:37):
Watt.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
Yeah, I mean like the cartilage around your ribs and
everything that's all like sensitive area. I'm sure it hurts
no matter what. But I gotta imagine that having your
lung pierced is an additional source of pain there.

Speaker 12 (01:31:50):
I would think, Yeah, So stay tuned on what Derek
Harmon didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
By the way, it doesn't end like with him just like, oh,
he'll be better. And then there's like there's gonna be
dominoes at fall. If there's negligence here, we shall see
NFLPA getting involved, is what I'm saying, no.

Speaker 12 (01:32:10):
Derek Harmon to practice yesterday either, but he's hoping to
play Monday night against Miami.

Speaker 8 (01:32:15):
Yeah, I'm aut to mix the name.

Speaker 10 (01:32:17):
Really just trying to take a day by day and
really wants my number call to get up back out there.

Speaker 8 (01:32:22):
Man, I'm kind of getting impatient, but it's part.

Speaker 24 (01:32:24):
Of the game.

Speaker 12 (01:32:25):
Yeah, a lot of people probably getting in patient, particularly
given the fact that the Steelers allow an average in
ninety six rushing yards a game when Harmon is actually
in the games and one hundred and ninety one point
twenty five rushing yards a game against when Harmon is
not in the games. Not that the rookie number one
pick is focused on such a ridiculous split. Yea, Eric,

(01:32:47):
are you aware that the average rushing yards against is
about one hundred yards more when you don't play.

Speaker 8 (01:32:52):
Oh, I'm not trying to not have to look into that.

Speaker 20 (01:32:54):
Man, I'll try when I'm in a playing game and
just playing my best ball and helped the team win.

Speaker 4 (01:33:00):
That's quite a stat. I've never seen anything like that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
You know, there are one hundred yards worse when you're well,
here's one for TJ. Watt one and eleven when he
doesn't play or plays through injury.

Speaker 4 (01:33:12):
I'm gonnaware of that one. Well, you're pointing to get
your computer. Screw where's it coming from?

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Uh A stat Okay, there's a lot of a lot
of stuff on there.

Speaker 4 (01:33:23):
I'm not saying it's wrong. I just don't wannaware of
that one. Chat GPT uh.

Speaker 12 (01:33:28):
Some of the other practice developments yesterday. Yeah, Kyle Duggar
full participant with his hand. That's a big deal because
if he plays, they don't have to alternate Jabrill Peppers
and Chuck Clark and try to guess whether Miami's gonna run,
aware the Miami's gonna throw.

Speaker 24 (01:33:45):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (01:33:45):
Malik Harrison concussion limited, Darnell Washington concussion limited. Andre's Pete
concussion did not practice. H dk Metcalf said he's fine
with that whole abdomen thing he experienced after the game
in Baltimore. More and let's see if I missed anybody else. Now,
that's that's basically the highlights of it. Wide receivers Adam

(01:34:07):
Thielen and Marquez Valdaz Scantling played for the first time
for the Steelers last Sunday in Baltimore. They contributed to
combine one catch for four yards on two targets. But
they had an impact quarterback Aaron Rodgers emphasized, and we'll
continue to have one moving forward.

Speaker 19 (01:34:23):
You can't be fooled by the stat lines for either
of those two guys because just their presence out there
and then being the right spot every single time makes
a big difference as far as spacing goes allows for
the time and of place to kind of flow and rhythm.
And you know, we had a lot of good things
go our way in the passing game, but no sacks
obviously has a lot to do with the offensive line,

(01:34:44):
but another part of the sacks is, you know, everybody
on the same page. You know, I don't feel like
we had many plays where you know, ten guys, nine
guys doing it right and one or two guys are
not doing it right. And you know, you got to
give credit to those guys for the way they prepared
their pros. They've been and played a lot of a
lot of football at high levels, so I wasn't surprised,
but it definitely helps with the passing game when when

(01:35:05):
everybody's in the right spot every sing more time.

Speaker 12 (01:35:07):
Wow, didn't throw anybody under the bus specifically, there but
you know, well, these guys hadn't played before, and all
of a sudden, everybody did it right. And we all
know what a stick of Rogers is for that kind
of stuff. I think those guys are gonna play and
play more. I agree with Rogers. He's gonna be fine
ways to get him the ball, and uh, I think

(01:35:28):
they're going to be impactful down.

Speaker 4 (01:35:30):
To stretch here.

Speaker 24 (01:35:31):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (01:35:31):
Steelers feasted in a down the field passing game on
the down the field passing game against Baltimore, but they
accomplished nothing on the ground. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith wore
the ladder hat yesterday.

Speaker 25 (01:35:44):
That was just a mindset going in come hell, R
and water. We're gonna push, you know, trying to push
them all in the field and and then throw it.
You know, I didn't call there and then he runs.
But I got a little pass at you. And I
don't think I've ever been accused of not running it enough,
so maybe you evolved.

Speaker 12 (01:36:02):
He actually has been accused of not running it enough.
He's been accused of that this year. Yes, but the admission,
I got a little pass happy that I enjoyed hearing that.
I don't know if anybody else is getting the kick
out of that that I am. I think that's the
way to go again Monday Night. I'd like to see
them get the running games straightened out and get more
out of it. They're gonna need to get the running

(01:36:24):
games straight out and get more out of it. But
they're compromised to tackle. Miami's got a good front but
a vulnerable secondary. While they're playing making the slot, which great,
don't throw it to the guy in the slot. Yeah,
pick pick one of the other four available targets because
the rest of the secondary is not good.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
Steelers have played eleven games without TJ. Watt and they've
won one.

Speaker 4 (01:36:46):
Wow, so they're do you're saying there's a chick because
he's not playing Monday Night.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
Like I it would be remarkable if he were made
available for this one.

Speaker 4 (01:36:59):
It'd be kind of foolhardy. I mean, we all want
to win, but why risk catastrophic And yeah, if you
don't have all of the information to beat the Dolphins,
well they got to win the game. Sorry about your lung, TJ,
but we're getting need you to pay.

Speaker 12 (01:37:16):
I'm not saying you should play, but I mean you
just said to beat the Dolphins, like I mean that's
who you're playing.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
You gotta win, agree, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it shouldn't. They're
all really diminish the opponent.

Speaker 12 (01:37:27):
But it's it's really coincidental, maybe curious. Mika Fitzpatrick is
now playing a lot of slot for Miami instead of
center field.

Speaker 8 (01:37:40):
He was.

Speaker 12 (01:37:40):
He played center field here and he wasn't having the impact.
At least that's how people perceived it, because there's no
stat for balls. They didn't try to throw because they
were afraid of you. So Miami's moving them up and
the other guys are getting picked on. The Steelers get
Jalen Ramsey because they won't him to come up and

(01:38:01):
play in the slot and rush off the rush off
the edge, be around the ball and make an impact,
and the guys behind him stuck. So you gotta go
get Willie Mason's center field again, so they don't hit
triples all day.

Speaker 4 (01:38:15):
It's just funny how it works out, Isn't it not funny?
Haha though, Mike, But I.

Speaker 12 (01:38:21):
Mean no, you can't give up huge plays like that's
that's death of a defense. At least if you make
him nickel and diamond the way down the field, they
might screw up and then you're okay.

Speaker 4 (01:38:31):
Is it a component of the defense that Oh, no questions.
It's a component of both defenses.

Speaker 12 (01:38:36):
But it's just there's two guys and are very similar players,
dire versatile, and they were in roles and.

Speaker 4 (01:38:42):
No, that role is no good. We got to get
a guy to do something different and he ends up
doing the safety the same exact thing. Like, yeah, why
bother with the trip if it was gonna work out
this way?

Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
Abby, You'll have your news coming up at the top

Shawn coll You're joining us in studio reviewing the newest
knives out.

Speaker 4 (01:42:31):
This one Knives Out three.

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
Sure, but officially Wake Up dead Man a knives out mystery?

Speaker 4 (01:42:40):
Is that what it's called? Because numbers ain't classy? No more,
no kind of wake up Daman. I would rather watch
Daniel Craig as Bell won Blanc than any other fictional detective.
I'd like, who know what you write? What do you want?
Sherlock Holmes?

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
You want Hercule plu Row, you want Wishbone the dog
dressed up as Sherlock Holmes?

Speaker 4 (01:42:59):
Who else? The dog was pretty good? But other than that, No,
When a mystery is afoot, I want James Bond doing
a fog horn leghorn voice that is just entertaining every time.
And all of these have been very good.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
The newest one, the Wake Up dead Man, is no exception.
Starts the great cast. Glenn Close is fantastic in this movie.

Speaker 4 (01:43:24):
I hope she gets her seventy eighth nomination that she
won't win or whatever she's up to. Josh brol And,
Josh O'Connor, Milacunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerrie Washington, Thomas Hayden Church,
Jeffrey Wright, and more. It turns out if you make
fun movies and actors like you good actors will want
to come hang out and make a movie. This is
just a slate of charming, likable people and also Jeremy Renner,

(01:43:48):
but mostly charming. I'm glad you didn't get killed by
that tractor or whatever it was. But after that, yikes.

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Yeah, yeah, he's not had a great month.

Speaker 4 (01:43:59):
No, didn't bounce back well there, But in any case,
this is a great setting. It's like a small town church.
Jeff Berlin's the fiery preacher. He's driven away the flock
with his angry sermons. There's all these people who would
want to put a knife in his back. So guess
what happens, But who done it? It's going to take
a scenery chewing brit to find out. These are just

(01:44:20):
so fun and Ryan Johnson is such a good director.
I want him to do other stuff because he does
a lot of things well. But I also kind of
want him to make one of these every other year forever,
because we need more movies with real stars having a
good time that are well made and fun to watch,
especially in this frigid winter season. We find ourselves in

(01:44:40):
being able to settle in on the couch. This is Netflix.
It was allegedly it was in some local theater. But
this was even for Netflix, not out at a lot
of theaters, which is its own set of problems. That said,
having a knives out to throw on on a cold
winter's night this weekend a great way to spend your
time a lot of fun at home. One warning with that, though,

(01:45:03):
because you will almost certainly watch this at home, there
is a solid temptation to guess at the solution out
loud to your friends and family members. Remember, if you
get it right, thus inadvertently spoiling the movie for the
rest of the room, those people will be mad at
you forever, and they are right to feel that way.

(01:45:23):
That is the correct response. How do I know, because
in nineteen ninety nine, my seventh grade girlfriend leaned over
to me and guessed the ending of the Sixth Sense.
And I'm still mad about it. No, I think he's yeah,
Oh no, it's not going to be that. He's not
going to be. I spoil the sixth Sense on the radio.
If you haven't, I've just sick before that. First of all,

(01:45:47):
I did guess it immediately. I don't know why. And
I was so disappointed that I guessed it as early
as I did, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:45:54):
In one of the they're not looking at him, but
I wonder if he's oh no, And I'm like really,
And I didn't get to have the fun that everyone had.
It's just it was like a fluke. But one time
I was going to see Presumed Innocent. And this is
I was in high school and I'm like hanging out
with a couple of buddies and I'm about to go
with one of our friends, and our other friend goes,

(01:46:14):
where are you guys going. We're like, oh, we're gonna
go see Presumed Innocent. And my buddy Mark Frankoviitch goes,
the wife did it? And I'm like what and he
goes have fun. I'm like, are you being for real?
He's like, I don't know, Maybe maybe I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:46:28):
And then we walked into the movie and we're like,
damn it, the wife did it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:33):
Anytime you see someone turning on what is it not
sixty minutes twenty twenty, you see someone tuning in twenty twenty,
just walk into the room.

Speaker 4 (01:46:40):
Her husband killed her. Save everybody a lot of time now.

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
Presumed Innocent, By the way, they did a TV version
of that recently with Jake Jillenhall cracks.

Speaker 5 (01:46:49):
A little different, is it? Yeah, it is.

Speaker 4 (01:46:51):
My wife didn't do that one. I don't believe I've
seen either, and now thanks to this conversation, I don't have.

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
The original movie is really good. I'm sure even if
you know the end ending, it's really good.

Speaker 4 (01:47:00):
Well, you probably will not guess it on Wake Up,
Dead Man, on Knives Out Mystery. Highly recommended, particularly over
the next couple of weeks you're putting something on over
the holiday season. A little less warm on the film
Ella McKay. Ella McKay is out in theaters. It's notable
because it is directed by the legendary James hill Brooks,

(01:47:22):
creator of Taxi.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
Creator of Mary Tyler Marry Taxi, The Simpsons.

Speaker 4 (01:47:27):
Co creator of The Simpsons, a story director in his
own right. You know, as good as it gets broadcast news,
won a bunch of Oscars for terms of endearment, and
he is eighty five, still working his first directorial effort
in fifteen years. So great to see this icon of
Hollywood still add it is the movie good? You know

(01:47:48):
not everything's about being good. Everything has to be great.
Who is in it? The lead is a young actress.

Speaker 2 (01:47:57):
She was in I think Sex Education, Emma Mackie, but
it's got a great Jamie Lee Curtis is in it.

Speaker 4 (01:48:03):
Albert Brooks isn't it. Camille non Gianni has a great
supporting part. Julie Kavner voice of Marge Simpson is the narrator. Yeah,
it's that narration you acclimate to it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:14):
The cast is great, it's a lot of people you're
happy to hang out with.

Speaker 4 (01:48:18):
It just I think he's a TV guy.

Speaker 2 (01:48:21):
As much as all of those great films he's made,
He's a TV guy. This feels like you watched twelve
scenes from a sitcom you weren't following.

Speaker 4 (01:48:30):
They're just throwing them in there. There's fifteen plots. The
plot seems really dumb. She's a thirty four year old
lieutenant governor. Albert Brooks is the governor. He gets tapped
for Obama's cabinet. It's said in two thousand and eight,
so she has to suddenly be the governor of this
unnamed state like the Simpsons, and they leave politics out
of it, which is weird. She's trying to reconcile with

(01:48:52):
her dad, she's trying to get her brother out of
the house. Her brother has There's just way too much
going on. Relatable. Yeah, Woody Harels. Woody Harrelson plays the dad.
It's a great cast. It's almost worth it just because
there's so many good people in it. But it falls apart.
That's Ella McKay. And by the way, I said, the
movie's Ella McKay. The actress is Emma mackee. Emma mackie

(01:49:13):
plays Ella McKay. So my mother has no chance of
Emma McCall, Ella mackintosh, Edwin McCain, you know the movie
with the girl, Edwin McKee. So my mother famously was
trying to say they wanted to watch A Quiet Place,
and she said.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
We're trying to watch that. If they hear you, they
kill you. And it's a I would know exactly what.
I know what the movies she's talking about. Yeah, it's right.
And the retro pick row House Christmas kicks off today.
I think we can just be definitive that Muppet Christmas
Carroll is the best Christmas Carol at this point, right.
The Michael Kaine one, Yeah, you know he loves there's
like a collage of interviews where he just talks about

(01:49:53):
the bunny because he loves the bunny so much, like
he gave a bunch of interviews like they've got this
cute little I can't do the Michael Gaine and he's
just like the Bunny.

Speaker 4 (01:50:01):
He's irresistible, and.

Speaker 2 (01:50:02):
You know there's lots of Muppets and that the Bunny
only has like one small scene.

Speaker 4 (01:50:06):
I I saw him talking about how he realized he
had to be real to establish that the Puppets were real.
But if he were real, he then had to be
a psychopath because his head accountant as a green frog
and all the other ones are rats. So he played
him as a real psychopath and it worked so for me.

Speaker 2 (01:50:26):
Like the when I was a little kid, the Muppets
did a Christmas album with.

Speaker 4 (01:50:31):
John John Denver.

Speaker 2 (01:50:32):
Yeah, that that is like when I think of the
Muppets and Christmas, I think of first that and then second.

Speaker 5 (01:50:39):
River Bottom nightmare Ba.

Speaker 4 (01:50:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
Em at Otter's jug band Christmas remains one of the
greatest accomplishments that that what's his name ever came up
with Jim Benson, thank you?

Speaker 4 (01:50:52):
Yeah uh.

Speaker 2 (01:50:54):
The John Denver stuff though was you couldn't get away.

Speaker 4 (01:50:58):
From him, a pod.

Speaker 20 (01:51:04):
Chris and just that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:51:12):
It ever goes away, Like every time I hear five
Golden Rings like me and my sister want to go
because this piggy did.

Speaker 4 (01:51:21):
That was the Swedish chef one. That's what I was
waiting for.

Speaker 2 (01:51:24):
Oh, I think he might get one. You know who's
in that too? That was like a big hit for
a while, but then just went away. It's like Kermit's nephew.
There's a tiny little what's his name? I think it's Robin.

Speaker 5 (01:51:38):
Wait, Kermit's nephew.

Speaker 4 (01:51:41):
He does this one right here.

Speaker 2 (01:51:42):
I'm pretty sure for some reason, I think it's Robin.
Right there, he was like baby Yoda. It was like
a baby crow and then they just did a way.
We don't know what happened to him. That's what I love.
It's Bean Bunny. I love being Bunny too. He's integral
to the upp at three D thing at Disney World.

(01:52:03):
But Bean Bunny and Robin are redundant. They're kind of
filling the same role there. Yeah, we needed to cut
to vote one of them off the island. Yeah, but
why did I mean, why has Kermit just disavowed any
knowledge of Robin her? What did rob his family? Yeah?
What did Robin do this? That's so bad? The chet

Speaker 5 (01:53:22):
It is really my tire pressures already. I hate that screaming. Yeah,
that'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
There's like there should be a place where you can
pull into that just warms you up while you check
your tire pressure. Because every time you have to check
your tire pressure, it's freezing and you never want to
pull over and do it. So it's just be this
place where you just like pull in really quick and
it's just like it's nice music and it warms you up.

Speaker 5 (01:53:42):
It's a nice business model.

Speaker 2 (01:53:44):
I actually I've already had probably called a garage.

Speaker 8 (01:53:48):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:53:52):
I invented a garage service garage. That's right, No, but
I meant like something specific.

Speaker 5 (01:53:58):
For that, you know, make me a sandwich while it checks.

Speaker 2 (01:54:04):
I do love the vibe in the garages when it's
a while you wait situation, like when it's an oil
change and you go on in. There's always a TV
show that you don't really want to watch that's on there,
and there's coffee that's terrible, but you get it anyways
because it's slippers there.

Speaker 4 (01:54:19):
You're lucky if it's house flippers.

Speaker 2 (01:54:21):
If it's not like a politically divisive show, you're lucky
if it's only a house flippers. And then there's always
old magazines, and I don't know, I always enjoy the experience.

Speaker 4 (01:54:31):
I don't know why. It's like a nice respite from
the day.

Speaker 2 (01:54:34):
Just sit in this cold little ten by twelve area
on an uncomfortable chair and wait for your oil to get.

Speaker 4 (01:54:43):
Changed, because you can justify a complete lack of achievement
at any other time, Like you have your phone, you
probably have your laptop. You probably have and you probably
have all of those things there in the oil change place,
but no one expects you to. So you say, I
got to get my oil change. I don't know how
long this is going to be. You can eat up
two and a half hours like that. No one can
say a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:55:01):
There are these dudes, and I don't want to sell
them out where it was, but they there was like
four guys and they were blazed out of their brains,
like openly smoking weed. And I was thinking, like, you know, yeah,
I get it. If I was sitting here all day,
were like, let's just blaze and change oil. At that point,

(01:55:24):
you know, we harmon's a long day. Yeah, now they
think about it. They did screw up putting the cap
back on my uh the oil, so yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:55:34):
Oh wait, yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:55:37):
I had a guy completely forget that once and then
two days later there was no oil in my car.
It was just all gall on the hood underneath the hood.

Speaker 2 (01:55:47):
Yeah, oh man, I'm really sorry that one's on me,
Yes it is. You're correct, definitely not on me. Yeah,
you are correct. Abby's got a news up date for you.

Speaker 6 (01:55:56):
What's going on is This hour is brought to you
by better call Sigh with a passing flurry. This morning
a high of thirty three, Saturday, snow coming in the afternoon,
accumulation of about an inch or two and a high
around thirty five, and then Sunday bitterly cold and snow
shower is the high of nineteen de.

Speaker 2 (01:56:14):
Grease, Oh man, do you have the extended to Monday?

Speaker 5 (01:56:18):
Well, I didn't peak on Monday, just yets.

Speaker 4 (01:56:22):
But that's a Monday night football weather.

Speaker 5 (01:56:23):
Say Looksie, I don't know. I didn't think of that.

Speaker 6 (01:56:28):
Let's see, Monday is fifteen degrees, no snow, but dum
fifteen's the low.

Speaker 5 (01:56:35):
Twenty four is the high.

Speaker 6 (01:56:36):
But if you're going to be going to the game,
I mean you're probably going to be in the teens.

Speaker 5 (01:56:40):
So what is your best cold weather hack?

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
Have you?

Speaker 5 (01:56:43):
What's the coldest game you can think of that you've been.

Speaker 2 (01:56:46):
Well, the Jets playoff game, the Doug Brian get the game,
or maybe I'm conflating him. Maybe he I think it
was the game where he missed the like two field
goals or maybe even three field goals.

Speaker 4 (01:56:56):
But it was so cold.

Speaker 2 (01:56:59):
I think Mark Sanchez a quarterback for the Jets.

Speaker 4 (01:57:02):
It was that era.

Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
It was so cold, and I was sitting in section
one to eleven and my beer froze in the plastic
cup and it turned a slush. And the woman who
was sitting in front of me had a big puffy
coat in the hood was hanging over the back of
her seat and my beer unbeknownst to me because I

(01:57:23):
wasn't tending to it, you know, I was just kind
of drinking the slush. The cup cracked in the freezing cold,
and the slush like like seeped out into her hood
and created a pyramid of beer sludge oh on her
hood as she just sat there and there was so

(01:57:44):
there's a big ice castle of my beer sitting there,
and I had to like judge, like do I tell
this lady it's happening, or do I just get rid
of it?

Speaker 4 (01:57:53):
So I didn't even say anything to her.

Speaker 2 (01:57:54):
I just like held the hood and then quickly pushed
up underneath it and like tried to throw it back
into my up so I could like just like Rita's
ice it down, you know, like you still drink it
like a salvage. Yeah, they're fifteen dollars right, just because

(01:58:15):
it was in the hat.

Speaker 4 (01:58:16):
Yeah, that one. That one was cold.

Speaker 2 (01:58:17):
And then there was a time we played the Cowboys
at Hinesfield where it was insanely cold, and we had
at our tailgate that year, we had one of those
construction site flamethrower warmers and I had my ski pants
on and I'm like, hey, I'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (01:58:35):
And my brother and I were at the game and
we were drinking.

Speaker 2 (01:58:38):
He he brought a pitcher rather a like a thermos
of coffee and he filled it with jamison and coffee,
and he's like Irish coffees, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:58:47):
And I'm like, that's the way to go.

Speaker 2 (01:58:49):
And we drank a ton of those id and I
was feeling no pain. And I stood right next to
the thing. It melted my pants off. Oh no, on
the right side, and so I was sitting in the
game and I had no protection on my right side
and I was absolutely freezing that game.

Speaker 4 (01:59:10):
Yeah, that's all I can say. The only one I
remember that was really bad was that this forever ago,
the opening round playoff game with the Jaguars. David Girard
was that the it was a wild card game, but.

Speaker 2 (01:59:24):
That was the That was the one where they they
called holding to extend uh the drive, the winning drive.

Speaker 4 (01:59:31):
Where your full winter gear, not your like I'm going
to work like you're I'm going out in the Christmas story.
I can't put my arms down. Whar that go? Get
a jersey that's one size too big and put that
over everything, so you're just the michelin Man Steelers version
and the jersey is holding in all of the heat.

(01:59:53):
I will then get drunk.

Speaker 2 (01:59:54):
I will say the last time we played the Dolphins
in the playoffs, the game that Bud Dupree absolutely he
leveled Matt Moore. That game was really cold, like crazy cold.
That's one that stands out to me too, that Jets
playoff game really does. I think there was. The Patriots
AFC Championship game might have been super coold. The one
that was here, the one with Koor where he kicked

(02:00:16):
the field goal after Plexico dropped the touchdown on third down,
and had we gone for it there, had we not
lived in our fears, we might have been in the
super Bowl. That was Ben's thirteen win rookie season. A
lot of living in our fears. Oh so much living
in our fears. It tries to me crazy, but bundle
up because we're gonna need the fans there on Monday night.

Speaker 5 (02:00:38):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (02:00:39):
Well, less than a month after opening a massive one
point seven billion dollar terminal upgrade, Pittsburgh International Airport may
already be reaping some of the benefits with a new
route to Ireland. Irish Airline Airline is announced on Thursday
that it's going to start service between Dublin and Pittsburgh
in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 5 (02:00:59):
The new route will operate four.

Speaker 6 (02:01:01):
Times a week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Fair
start at five hundred and nineteen dollars round trip.

Speaker 5 (02:01:09):
According to Erlingus.

Speaker 2 (02:01:12):
Look, these are great direct flights to across the Atlantic.
Anytime you have those in the city you live in,
especially a city is easily with an airports easily accessible
as Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (02:01:25):
You got to take advantage of these.

Speaker 2 (02:01:27):
Yeah, those Iceland flights were amazing and they were only
here for a short time, but got to go to
Iceland and then fly back to your car.

Speaker 4 (02:01:35):
That was That's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (02:01:37):
They picked those back up though, like they I thought
that they started doing those again. But when we went
to Ireland, because like we talked about the trip so
much that people were probably going, oh, I thought they
were doing that. We drove to Cleveland to get a
direct flight, and some other people within the iHeart family
I think, flew out of Boston or these.

Speaker 4 (02:01:56):
And they got hose all the way home.

Speaker 5 (02:01:58):
Yeah, that was tough.

Speaker 6 (02:01:59):
So the fact that now it is going to be
going directly out of Pittsburgh, it makes it so much
easier for people to then now go on that trip
that we essentially went on the Steelers and all of
you know that that element will be missing, but you
will love it.

Speaker 2 (02:02:13):
Well, we used to have a direct flight to Gatwick
in London, and I remember flying back with the Pittsburgh
Symphony Orchestra just coincidentally, and I sat between the two
heaviest OBO players in the world, Like I was in
the you know, the five seat aisles. I was like
right in the middle and uh. And they had just
done a whirlwind tour of Europe and absolutely knocked the
socks off everybody, and they were just celebrating reading reviews.

(02:02:34):
It was kind of cool to be a part of that,
but the whole aspect of you know, you're in London,
you get on a plane and you land and walk
to your car, and you live in Pittsburgh, not New
York City or you know, Atlanta. It's you got to
try to take advantage of it if you can, because
they usually don't last it's like a year and they're like,
why do we do this in Pittsburgh for this? And

(02:02:54):
if you can sleep on the plane, that's one of
the overnights, so you could you just show up sleepy,
get a decent night's sleep, you wake up, you're in Dublin.
You've almost conquered the jet lag. It's hard. That's we
tried to do that. Yes, I think we were somewhat successful.
I mean it required a big nap when we got

(02:03:15):
to the hotel eventually. Yeah, but I stayed up the
whole way home and we we were out late the
night before.

Speaker 4 (02:03:22):
And somehow, somehow I managed it.

Speaker 2 (02:03:25):
That definitely helped, staying up the whole way back into
the Eastern Standard time.

Speaker 4 (02:03:30):
Yeah, no, that's it's the only way to correct it.
But it's Ireland. You can get a Guinness anywhere anytime,
so just land and enjoy yourself. It's a breakfast drink,
just it's like coffee.

Speaker 6 (02:03:43):
It took me sean weeks to get out of that mentality.
Like every single time if I was out for a brunch,
I just wanted a Guinness and I thought like, did
Ireland make me an alcoholic?

Speaker 2 (02:03:58):
Like?

Speaker 5 (02:03:59):
Because it just I wanted it all the.

Speaker 4 (02:04:01):
Time, especially I do this semester, and especially if you're
there with people from there, you drinking rounds. No one
goes and says I'll have a beer. If there's five
people with you, every five times you get for the table,
which means you have no option other than to drink
at least five twenty ounces spears. Now you've had one

(02:04:22):
hundred and twenty ounces of alcohol just to be polite.
That's a casual evening.

Speaker 2 (02:04:26):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a big fan board. It is a
big part of my genetic makeup.

Speaker 5 (02:04:32):
Right, that's true?

Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
All right?

Speaker 6 (02:04:34):
People online are predicting the American traditions that they believe
will fade away in the coming decades. Well, we go
through these, maybe you can say which ones maybe you'd
be happy to see go and maybe which ones would
be a.

Speaker 5 (02:04:47):
Bummer if they did die out.

Speaker 6 (02:04:49):
First one I will say happy class reunions.

Speaker 2 (02:04:54):
I never went to a class reunion. I feel kind
of like bad about it, but it was never at
a comedian time and I was friends with the people
that I wanted to stay friends with.

Speaker 5 (02:05:06):
I felt like that as well.

Speaker 6 (02:05:07):
I think I went to one under severe pressure and
it was so close to the time in which we
had graduated that I don't really feel like it was
that significant.

Speaker 5 (02:05:17):
And it also like different.

Speaker 4 (02:05:18):
Five years doesn't count.

Speaker 6 (02:05:19):
Who cares, Yeah, it's five years. It's like I kind
of just saw you. Yeah. But at this point with
social media, if I really need like Seod and Freud,
I can get it.

Speaker 4 (02:05:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:05:32):
And social media, you're right, does kind of negate the
need for any of those class Indians.

Speaker 4 (02:05:37):
You're already up to speed on everybody.

Speaker 6 (02:05:39):
And like you said, the people that I really want
to check in was like I can, yeah, and I do.

Speaker 4 (02:05:43):
Yeah. It happened for the tenure My class had a
tenure union. I didn't go. I think I just had
something that night when it came time for the twenty
year I watched a Facebook war over who was responsible
for organizing it. The fact developed their feuding. No one
wants to put any money into it, it breaks down

(02:06:04):
and gets smaller and smaller, and then the next morning
I see a picture of five people at a bar
that was one mile from the high school. Yeah, that's
all that happened. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:06:14):
I enjoyed my high school experience so much and had
so many funny people in my class. I mean, just
a bunch of And anytime I see dudes that I'm
not like super close with, you kind of revert right.

Speaker 4 (02:06:23):
Back to like your high school dynamic.

Speaker 2 (02:06:25):
And I guess I wish I would have tried a
little bit harder, but I was always out of town
or had a gig or something like that. You know,
when I run.

Speaker 6 (02:06:34):
Into somebody from high school, I find that we get
along amazing right now, Like I think whenever we were
doing the Dve beer launch, there was like a bunch
of people that went to Shaler that happened to be
there for something separate, and we ended up having like
a ton of beers.

Speaker 5 (02:06:50):
It was just like super fun.

Speaker 6 (02:06:51):
Yeah, and I had a blast, And I love that
to me.

Speaker 5 (02:06:57):
Impromptu class reunion.

Speaker 6 (02:06:58):
Sure, I'll throw it down for those anytime, But if
you put a formality to it, not as fun with you.

Speaker 5 (02:07:06):
What else is on that trick or treating is on
this list.

Speaker 2 (02:07:10):
I just think parents are less or more reluctant to
let their kids kind of randomly run around with strangers.

Speaker 6 (02:07:18):
I guess this is more thing that trunk or treating
is so much more convenient for people, and I guess
that makes it a little like lazy, and it's taking
off so much that maybe they just don't want people
like ringing the doorbell. But I also feel like people
just kind of like put this stuff in their driveway.

Speaker 5 (02:07:37):
You're not really ringing the doorbell anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:07:40):
My older brother still recites what people gave out in
the neighborhood we grew up in for Halloween. I mean,
I think this is an important way to get to
know your neighbors. He knows he'll be like mister Spencer
full milky ways.

Speaker 4 (02:07:53):
So there's thirty five steps to my front door. No
child has ever even attempted.

Speaker 2 (02:08:00):
That happening factory up there to make any you earn
your candy.

Speaker 6 (02:08:05):
Massive gender reveal events. I think they've caused too many
forest fires.

Speaker 2 (02:08:12):
There was that it just was a social media phenomenon
that people stopped having h or getting enjoyment out of.

Speaker 6 (02:08:18):
Yeah, and you also had too many instances of people
getting filmed and having bad reactions, and.

Speaker 2 (02:08:25):
With gender fluidity these days, you're not necessarily right, you know.
It's kind of like we'll see you, said the wise man,
you know, pop.

Speaker 4 (02:08:32):
The balloon and a sign comes out that says, it's
a baby.

Speaker 2 (02:08:36):
What does it matter, it's a baby, look at yourself.

Speaker 4 (02:08:39):
Mind your own business.

Speaker 5 (02:08:41):
Black Friday made the list, which I think.

Speaker 6 (02:08:44):
We talked about as that coming up that we're not
personally maybe Black Friday people.

Speaker 4 (02:08:50):
There are still people who do that.

Speaker 2 (02:08:52):
And as a matter of fact, my one of my nephews,
him and his buddies get up and they do it
with one of their friends' moms takes them to the
mall so that they can run around and be a
part of the craziness. So it's still going on and
it starts at like seven o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 5 (02:09:08):
Did they get any deals.

Speaker 4 (02:09:10):
I no, I mean, they're they're kids.

Speaker 2 (02:09:12):
I think they just went to be a part of
the craziness of it all and just like kind of
enjoy running around in them all like you do when
you're a kid. But I remember people lining up for
those TVs the days in the eighties when people would
beat each up beat each other up over cabbage patch dolls.
A glorious time in this society and should have been
a harbinger of things to come for us, like we

(02:09:32):
were headed into a very treacherous territory already doomed. Wait
until we connect all these people digitally. Then see what happens.

Speaker 5 (02:09:40):
The Myths America pageant.

Speaker 4 (02:09:43):
I didn't know they were still doing it, I guess.

Speaker 2 (02:09:46):
Doesn't he.

Speaker 5 (02:09:46):
I think so, or it did at one point and
enjoyed it quite a bit. I would not. It would
be cool if.

Speaker 6 (02:09:53):
Like what happened with the Miss Universe thing happened, whereas
like a death metal chick one.

Speaker 2 (02:09:58):
Well, it was also something that had such a social
prominence at one time that you knew who Miss America was.

Speaker 4 (02:10:07):
Yes, and now nobody does.

Speaker 5 (02:10:08):
I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (02:10:10):
Private fireworks, there's been such an increasing amount of local crackdowns,
mostly because property damage and idiots blowing their hands off.

Speaker 5 (02:10:19):
So people are thinking that that.

Speaker 4 (02:10:21):
Is something that I've said it many times.

Speaker 2 (02:10:23):
You should not be able to buy the fireworks that
are available to sale for the general public.

Speaker 4 (02:10:29):
Also, are you amused by this? Are you actually entertained?
Even drunk?

Speaker 2 (02:10:36):
By setting one little sad, little failure rocket up that
goes boom. No, these are not sad rockets, dude. I'm
telling you right now. The things that you buy are
terrifyingly powerful. They are like zambell E quality, and you
can just buy them off the interstate, take them to
whatever field you want to blow them off that the
potential for danger with these is so insanely high.

Speaker 4 (02:11:00):
I can't believe people are allowed to buy them. Well,
if they actually are good, that gets to and hello,
I am now on the high road. You are messing
up veterans. You are causing PTSD symptoms in veterans and
terrifying dogs. It is a boring thing that messes with
veterans and dogs. You monster.

Speaker 2 (02:11:20):
It's so strange. My dog who is like he reacts
to every noise and everything, fireworks, nothing, He'll sit right
next to me and watch a bomb go off and
they just look at me like that's pretty cool. I
don't understand it. I don't know why he doesn't bark,
he doesn't freak him out. He's not scared of them.
But I've had dogs who get into that shiver. Oh yeah,
my dog shakes like you just pulled him out of

(02:11:40):
a frozen river. Yes, and because it's an urban environment,
you know, we live in the city that can go
on for four hours. People start at nine o'clock and
are still doing it at one. I disagree that it's
going away. I think it's only getting bigger.

Speaker 6 (02:11:53):
Well, I was gonna say, I think the funniest thing
is that your dog can stand fireworks. But if Joe
Bartnick talks with his hands.

Speaker 2 (02:12:00):
My dad jumps all over like a sheriff and tells
Joe to settle down. As soon as Joe Barnick starts talking,
my dog barks at him. It's just Bartnick. He'll be fine.
He doesn't like Italians for someone. He just looks at me,
smiling and barking at him the entire time. It's because
Joe's so big. He's like, this thing's gonna.

Speaker 4 (02:12:18):
Hurt you, Randy.

Speaker 5 (02:12:19):
You know I'm looking out for you. It's in fluid.

further medical evaluation of his lung after experiencing discomfort at
the practice facility on Wednesday. His status for Monday Night's
game versus Miami is in question.

Speaker 4 (02:13:30):
Not good, Adam.

Speaker 12 (02:13:31):
Schefter reporting that Watt's injury occurred during treatment at the
team facility, so.

Speaker 4 (02:13:40):
The likelihood of him playing Monday night not great.

Speaker 2 (02:13:43):
I think that because they have herbig and you know
Jack Sawyer, I think will be okay. They have never
been better positioned to for drawn without Watt.

Speaker 4 (02:13:56):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (02:13:56):
Historically, though, as we mentioned earlier, not grade one and
eleven without one, we usually had two outside linebackers and
sometimes one, sometimes one. Yeah, and Hei Smith's coming off
the best game of the year for him, and.

Speaker 12 (02:14:08):
I think this I was thinking before this development occurred yesterday,
that Sawyer only played three snaps against the Ravens for
some reason. But this Miami game is a set the
edge game much more than it is a rush the
passer discipline stay home. Now, Wat's a really good run
defender as well.

Speaker 2 (02:14:26):
I'm not using among the best, but he doesn't get
enough credit for how good he is at that. Not
that not that he needs it, but yeah, everybody, he's
a great run defense. Everybody's fixated on sacks and he
is a complete Merril always talks about that. Okay, he
sacked the quarterback twenty times. What'd you do on the
other six played? Yeah, and I buy that from Meryl.

(02:14:48):
I mean, it's no, it's a salient point. And we
always watch TJ. Watt making big plays on running plays.
He's in the backfield that tackles for losses and just following,
you know, crashing down line and following the running back
and making them play when necessary.

Speaker 12 (02:15:03):
And particularly against this Miami offense, which is gonna intrigue
you when you watch them pre snap because of the
formation they start in and how many guys are going
to be in the backfield and all the motions and
shifting and then once the ball snapped a lot of misdirection.
So you know, if you're the back edge guy, you
got to be there because the ball might be there.

Speaker 4 (02:15:24):
You know, you don't know where it's going.

Speaker 2 (02:15:26):
Single digit wind chills on Monday night, which bodes well
for the Steelers.

Speaker 12 (02:15:31):
But I'm real curious to see how Sawyer performs in
this game if they call upon him to play an
expanded role. Special teams always will also be a big deal.
They always are, and man, were they a big deal
in Baltimore on Sunday. Right to the very end of
that Steelers twenty seven to two survival of the Ravens,
Ben Scaronik broke down the chaotic nature of how the

(02:15:53):
Steelers wound up covering the most critical punt of the
Ravens game, with Gunning on one side but not his
normal side in such situations, and number one wide receiver
dk Metcalf gunning the other.

Speaker 27 (02:16:07):
Well, he was already on the field, so I went
out there to line up. He said, I got it.
He kind of looked at me. It was crazy, and
like there's a play clock. So I didn't really want
to fight him on the field because that could have
been like pretty bad. Yeah, So I was like, in
my mind, it was like, okay, DK's got this side.
There's two gunners out there. So I went over to
Bernion Echols. I was like, yeah, I got this side.

(02:16:28):
He looked at me, He's about to go play defense.
So he was like, all right, I bet like you
take this side. So I wanted to be on the
field in that situation because I feel like I cover kicks,
are living and uh it's a big moment.

Speaker 4 (02:16:42):
So yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:16:44):
Metcalf was out there because he thought Scronic had a
hand injury, which he did, and Scrawk's.

Speaker 4 (02:16:49):
Like, hey, this is what I do. I'm not missing
I'm on this team to do this stuff at this time.

Speaker 2 (02:16:56):
Can you as it stands, great story, the potential for
that to have been catastrophic.

Speaker 12 (02:17:03):
But this just kind of gives you a little insight.
Everybody thinks the sideline is disorganized by the numbers play.
I got this get out during a game, in a
critical moment, in the two mold of the arena.

Speaker 4 (02:17:17):
It's nuts down there.

Speaker 12 (02:17:18):
Can you imagine as they line up to snap the ball,
and as Strong mentioned, there's a there's a play clock,
and already deep in their own territory, so they can't
afford five yards now.

Speaker 4 (02:17:29):
Can you imagine Tom looking out there and.

Speaker 12 (02:17:31):
Walking down to Danny Smith and saying, Danny, why is
number four one of our gunners?

Speaker 4 (02:17:35):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (02:17:36):
And Danny said, coach, I got no idea that he
just took that upon himself. I mean, a heart and
soul competitor. Maybe not the smartest thing to do.

Speaker 2 (02:17:45):
I mean, risky does not begin to describe that. But
you gotta like the overall I love the sentiment behind
me we're winning this game.

Speaker 4 (02:17:54):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (02:17:55):
You know you back him up into the end zone
on that punt, like all of the sudden, the pressure
of that kick intensifies even more than where it was.
You know already you know that that was Corliss Weightman's
biggest kick of the year.

Speaker 12 (02:18:09):
Oh, no question and crazy stuff, heart and soul effort
for Metcalf And he said yesterday, you know he'd do
it again, but only if he absolutely positively has to.

Speaker 19 (02:18:22):
If that moment requires a very rare moment, Yes, sir,
but not looking forward to it.

Speaker 9 (02:18:27):
NA. There's a different world out there.

Speaker 19 (02:18:28):
So I'd definitely command every gunner around the league after
taking that rede.

Speaker 2 (02:18:31):
And that's the difference between Metcalf and George Pickens. Now,
George Pickens would do the same thing, but he probably
do for the other team and tackle a Steeler or it.

Speaker 4 (02:18:40):
Just start beating on the guy that's in front.

Speaker 2 (02:18:41):
Of him, just trent over and just like just just
scissor kick alignment.

Speaker 4 (02:18:45):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 12 (02:18:47):
One of the other developments of that game. They showed
that replay of Scoronic in an earlier gun where he
was getting double teams, double vice.

Speaker 2 (02:18:54):
And that's the video that's going around and helped compel
people to retweet it, which counts as a vote for
the Pro Bowl.

Speaker 12 (02:19:00):
But I mean beyond that, Jim NaNs and Tony Romo
made a huge deal out of it. They showed the
replay and that they were just look at the competitiveness
and you want to be a gun in the NFL.
Chronik talked about that yesterday about how when there are
penalties called, and the Ravens got a penalty on that
last punt with with Metcalf at gunning on one side

(02:19:20):
Schronic on the other. But usually they're not called unless
it's near the tackle area. Is everybody who saw that
video of Schronic getting double teamed probably noticed when you're
along the sideline and the place just starting, anything goes
and Scronic wouldn't have it any other way.

Speaker 27 (02:19:37):
You're gonna get your ass kicked sometimes, especially when you're
getting doubled. It's it's just time and respect. But it's
two grown men against one. You gotta you know you're
gonna lose some, but you gotta just have great and
keep fighting back. It's not always gonna be clean. So yeah,
that's that's the first part of that. And if you're

(02:19:59):
not getting doubled, you're probably not going to be in
the league that long. It means that the other team
doesn't really respect you much. So I kind of take
offense to not getting double teams.

Speaker 12 (02:20:07):
You know, he got knocked out of bounds twice on
that play. He got knocked down twice on that play.
He kept getting up, coming back fighting those guys. At
the end of the play, he ended up with what
I forget whether it was thirty eight or thirty nine,
but he ended up just grabbing the guy and throwing
him down. And I asked him yesterday, I said, was
the play over by then? And you had enough? He said,
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:20:27):
Yeah, like it just got to the point where you
black out. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:20:32):
Yeah, but it was just if you love competitive, heart
and soul, give it everything you got football at what
better example is there?

Speaker 4 (02:20:41):
Mike? We got an update on the TJ.

Speaker 2 (02:20:42):
Watt situation wow from Tom Pelsarow of the NFL Network. TJ.
Watt had a quote tiny hole in his lung repaired
and is not expected to be out long term, but
seems unlikely to play this week.

Speaker 4 (02:21:00):
A tiny hole in his lung Remind me? Are your
lungs supposed to have tiny holes in them?

Speaker 9 (02:21:05):
No?

Speaker 4 (02:21:07):
That seems bad.

Speaker 8 (02:21:07):
Then.

Speaker 4 (02:21:08):
I love the description just a tiny hole in his lung.

Speaker 2 (02:21:12):
It's like there's just a small, small.

Speaker 4 (02:21:19):
Rip in your lung.

Speaker 5 (02:21:22):
Tiny one barely notice it.

Speaker 12 (02:21:24):
I mean, Kenny Pickett gets by with tiny hands. How
bad could it be?

Speaker 4 (02:21:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:21:27):
They probably needed a tiny handed physician to fix that.
How do you repair it with it? Fix a flat.
What do you put on the no idea?

Speaker 5 (02:21:37):
Truly, what do you do? I need to know?

Speaker 2 (02:21:40):
How did it get repaired? Does it heal itself? Is
it like your skin when you get cold? That's what
I'm asking. Is there a lung band aid?

Speaker 4 (02:21:48):
Let me check my medical degree? Oh wait, I don't
have one.

Speaker 2 (02:21:52):
Well, we should find out whoever put the hole in,
as long as they got one, because.

Speaker 4 (02:21:57):
I can't. I can't get it. Get a kid.

Speaker 2 (02:22:01):
This is It's like driving into a parking spot and
hitting the curb, you know, oh, just a little too far.

Speaker 6 (02:22:06):
Well, the Internet tells us it can be anywhere from
simple rest and oxygen for very small cases. And if
it's tiny, then that's a small case. But it could
also range to chest tubes to drain air for larger ones.

Speaker 5 (02:22:21):
So if it's.

Speaker 2 (02:22:22):
Tiny, it's I'm hoping it kind of sounds like it's
not as big of a deal as it might have been,
so let's hope that remains the case.

Speaker 8 (02:22:30):
Here.

Speaker 2 (02:22:32):
I know it's scary. I mean, it's just scary for
his overall health. You hear a hole in your lung,
there's a.

Speaker 5 (02:22:39):
Hole in your lung, never mind, and that sucks.

Speaker 4 (02:22:42):
Yeah, and that does suck on the way for you.

Speaker 2 (02:22:45):
We've got the bastard bearded Irish been getting you set
for this weekend's big gig at the Thunderbird that they
have going on. It's a big bastard bearded Christmas. Wow. Yeah,

picked a side in that game. My dad was a name.
Never understood why none of us went in the Navy.
He's like, why would you do it?

Speaker 2 (02:23:28):
It's the best, it's the greatest, And he's like that
you get try here. He was like a couple of reasons,

meet the Vett in Philly.

year it was at the Commanders Stadium. A couple of
years ago it was in New England, Right, they moved
around a little bit. Yeah, but Philly is kind of
the perfect spot because it's sort of halfway between Annapolis
and West Point.

Speaker 2 (02:35:50):
Safe travels back and forth to Baltimore. And I want
to see a picture of that crab book crab monstrosity
that you plan on eating after several beers, like stadium crab.
I always say, well, here's.

Speaker 12 (02:36:03):
The thing about Baltimore, and I know it's a little
rough going down there for stealing games, Like I've been
to a lot of Orioles games and they have a
nice around the ballpark array of options. Yeah, including this
place called Pickles, which is like Baltimore's Shales. Oh really,
it's not a classy place, which means it's perfect for me,

(02:36:23):
which is perfect. I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 4 (02:36:27):
Good deal.

Speaker 2 (02:36:27):
I might have joined you where the temperature is not
as brutal as they're going to be get you to
one one of these years. I look, it's a good time.
I have no prob go and root for Navy for
my old man, and I'd be into it. My brother
probably loved doing that too.

Speaker 9 (02:36:42):
You know.

Speaker 12 (02:36:42):
The cool thing about it too is, and I've mentioned
this before, it's you go and you root for this team.
Nobody from Army Yell's Navy sucks, you know what I mean.
You just cheer for you, just cheer for your guys. Yeah,
it's there's a decorum. Yes, there's really old school. It's
like going back into nineteen fifties and going yay and
watching people run the option.

Speaker 2 (02:37:03):
Nobody chanced to fire the general, right, that never happens yet. Yeah,
they don't boo the Hail to the Chief or the
national anthem.

the Baltimore Ravens when they welcome the six and seven
Miami Dolphins to town, who are red hot riding a
four game winning streak into Pittsburgh for Monday Night football.
One thing going in the favor of the Black and
Gold Monday Night will be the freezing temperatures expected at
game time. Right now, the feels like projection for kickoff
Monday is supposed to be nine degrees and that's a
death sentence for the Miami Dolphins and has been for

(02:38:26):
almost a decade. Miami hasn't won a game when the
temperature has been below forty degrees since twenty sixteen against Buffalo,
and their quarterback to a tongue of Iloa has a
record of zero to five in his career anytime the
tenth dips below forty degrees. Despite the weather advantage Pittsburgh
will have over Miami and their quarterback, Tua also plays
into the Steelers defense's hands in another key way. Tua
is currently tied for the league leading interceptions this season,

(02:38:48):
having been picked off fourteen times, which bodes well for
a Steelers defense that has eleven picks on the season.
The problem is, you have to get Ta to throw
the ball to pick him off, and the Dolphins have
been hiding him during their winning streak, averaging just about
twenty one pass attempts per game in that four game streak.
Of course, the Dolphins feel no obligation to pass the ball,
seeing as they're averaging one hundred and ninety two rushing
yards per game during their winning streak. So will be

(02:39:10):
a major key for the Steelers defense to stop that
rushing attack, force TWOA to air it out, pick him
off and win the game. Steelers and Dolphins kick off
at eight fifteen Monday night at Akroestra Stadium.
