Speaker 1 (00:01):
Guaranteed human No. TJ. Wattat the dry needling situation really
bumming me out. I always what don't I always tell
you lube your needle every single time. It's the one
thing I know about you, your needle. I know, what
are we doing with dry needles? How can we not
afford lube needles?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I don't understand. I've had acupuncture before. I've had the
acupuncture where they stick the needle in you and then
they put a electric stem on the needle. What do
you think of that? I thought it was reckless.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I don't enjoy any accoutromal to the needle.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's too inexact of a science for me. Yeah you
know what I mean, Like, is it in far enough?
Because there was times where it's like and the acupunctures
and she was lovely, but she's like explaining it like, hey,
you know, sometimes you don't get where you need to go,
so if this hurts, it shouldn't hurt, you know. And
I'd be like, ah ah, you know, okay, I got
it on the wrong place, you know, uh, and didn't
(01:03):
mess with her when she does it. Go Randy Bellman
and the DV Morning Show. That's what it would be
they'd be like okay, and then they would pull the
needle out and then put it back in.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Let's try here. It's just medieval, you know, just getting poked.
I one time had real bad lower back pain. Couldn't
fix it with the chiropractice, so they were like, I
go to an acupuncturist. And I remember saying to the lady,
I was like, my back hurts. Can you get my back?
She put one needle in. I'ment and she goes, mm, okay,
(01:33):
We're gonna focus on your shoulder, and I was like, no, no, no,
get back in there. I didn't come here for my shoulder.
Which it just that whole thing. How that got up assurance.
Sometimes it's in your shoulder, you know what I mean? Like, yes,
the referential and then they do that and then you're like, oh,
my back's fine. The whole point of acupuncture is that
(01:55):
it centers your chi, isn't it, Like that's the that's
the energies.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
There's nothing that cheat all with the place. First time
I did it, the premature acupuncture.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah, how somebody scientifically evaluated that, took that to an
insurance group and said, this is a certified treatment blows
my mind, blows my mind.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I mean I definitely have had it done, and I
do believe in it. I think that like, once they
started doing the stem on it, I was like, all right,
I don't know about this, and then you start like
looking around for a diploma on the wall.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No, no, no, like wait a minute, you had, Tory, I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
A nail tech. This counts. It kind of feels like
a second occupation for a lot of people. The first
thing that they wanted to do in life didn't pan out,
and now they're an acupuncturist. Are you like me?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Where If they're not Asian, I'm even more suspect.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I want an old Asian lady. I want to in
my mind, I wanted to like she grew up in
the Orient in the Year of the Rooster. Yeah, And
instead it's just like she's like, I'm from Washington, PA,
actually born and raised there, and this is my daughter's name,
Barb's like the needle point didn't work out, so we're
doing this TJ watt out for tonight. They punctured as
(03:05):
long with a dry needlef That just sounds awful, brutal.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Somebody tapped tapped the needle a little too hard with
the mallet a couple of times too.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Like acupuncture needles are supposed to be like some like
the surface. That's what I thought, Like they don't go
through the skin. Well maybe TJ.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Watts just so tough that they really had to bring
up like the John Henry sledgehammer and be a steel
driving man on that guy's spine.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's true. The only thing I could think of. This
is what happens when you let Steely mcbeam dry needle
people garsh Okay, I got my sound.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Jeff Conckle hanging out with us in studio. Charlie Batche
a little later on this morning, Jerry do you like?
And Billy Gardell hanging out for an entire hour in
the nine am hour. Abby, we did a little decorating
in the studio. We have one strand of tinsel up
just behind you.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yes, that's your it's a start and it's just quaint
enough that that's my kind of Christmas. I have one
little piece of tensil left. I'm gonna put it pine Jeff.
Whenever we get a break.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I got a tree up now we got oh yeah,
so now look, hey we're ten days out. Okay, Now
it's Christmas up till December fifteenth. I'm like, eh, but
as soon as you're ten days you wait that long
ten days out, well, I get to enjoy it. It's
so much effort. There's Christmas all around me. I've been busy.
I'm uppet sa Christmas all around Yeah. I mean, I'm
(04:34):
not anti Christmas. I just didn't get around to get
in the tree up. I watch all the dumb Christmas movies.
And do you know the one that people are talking
about this year that I have watched years ago and
have always hated this movie. And for some reason, I
don't know if it's because it's available on Netflix now
or what it is, but the Family Stone a lot
(04:56):
of people are tired. Apparently TikTok did a whole dissertation
on this, okay, that it might might be one of
the worst holiday movies ever, and they're actually going to
do a sequel with it. And it is star study.
Diane Keaton is in it, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes,
Rachel McAdams is in it, Luke Wilson, Craig T. Nelson, uh,
(05:20):
Star star after star, like just tons of big names
in one of the worst movies. If you think everybody
in Love actually is bad, and they are, they are.
There's almost no redeeming people. That is the one thing.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I remember my parents seeing this years ago because someone
told them it was a Christmas movie and I was like,
how was that? And they're like everyone in that movie
was grossly unlikable, like you didn't room for a single
person to get anything they wanted.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And the horn Stars are the are the most rootable
characters in Love. Actually, the family Stone is even worse.
These are all terrible people in a hugely dysfunctional family,
not in a fun like aren't we just this is
like just reprehensible people acting poorly okay, and they frame
(06:12):
it in a way that like and this is family.
It's like the plot is like, you know, hippie kind
of weird family, quirky family has the Michael you know,
Alex P. Keaton kind of son who's like very Manhattan
business and he brings his very stuffy soon to be
fiance Sarah Jessica Parker into their house where they have
(06:35):
lots of you know, they're fun people and they've got there,
they're lovey and they have inside jokes and she needs
everything to be the way she wants it to be.
For how for Christmas? Because that's what you would do
if you would go somewhere right, you would try to
like stomp all over everybody and then argue all kinds
of political points at the table that you know that
(06:55):
they stand for. Nobody would do this, and nobody would
bring this woman into their home. And then she has
an affair with the brother, and then her, and then
and then he has an affair with her sister, and
all over Christmas break. Every person in it is terrible.
They're all awful to the girlfriends, dramedy, and for some
(07:19):
reason it's getting like the big social media push again
And I don't know why other than like I said
that they're playing dunking on it. Yes, it's all people
dunking on it, and rightly so it's so bad, it's
so chay, it's rotten.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Tomatoes score and critics score pretty dismal.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yet no person watches that and goes that was a
lovely holiday message, wasn't it. No, it's all terrible. It's
bad people making each other worse and love actually still
to me, love actually is like bubbly while doing it.
This is depressing while doing it. Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Have some kind of redeeming quality when you turn it off,
you have a little bit of an after dinner. And
I always felt like Love actually at least had that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah. Well, and they had that rock star character who's
kind of the comic relief through it all.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
And well, plus a couple I caught like with the cards,
even though that's scene with the cards and love, actually,
I was like, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
You're at the woman's house that you're, you know, basically
trying to get to have an affair with you, and
you're just silently. You have what Q cards from the
Screen Actors Guild that you're running through with this.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You were the best man at her wedding to your
best friend murder, and it's just Yeah. Emma Thompson tries
to get her brother Lee Neesan to start having sex
with women the day after he buries his wife day
after right, She's like, you have to stop crying and
get out there. What are you talking about. I'm horny. Yeah, everybody,
(08:44):
everybody's terrible. The Colinis, the Colin Firth character, his girlfriend
cheats on him with his brother to start the movie,
and then he goes off to a villa somewhere to
write a book, and he hires a woman to take
of the house and be a housekeeper, and he wants
to nail her the entire time. It's like inappropriate on
(09:06):
every level. She can't even speak English. That doesn't stop
him from being like, not just I want to have
sex with I am in love with this woman. I
say that to this.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
That scenario where a woman is cheating on a brother
with another brother, or vice versa or whatever. This I
think is only in Netflix's TV land.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Has anyone ever heard of this happening in real life? No,
brother never doing the.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
The I only heard about this maybe once in high school.
A girl dated an older brother. He broke up with her,
and then she started trying to date the two year
younger brother, which was a big scandal. But that was
the only time I ever heard of such a thing happening.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Martin Brodure, hall of fame goalie for The New Devils,
divorced his wife because he was having an affair with
her sister. Then he married her sister's the nickname Uncle Dad.
No oh no, yeah, that's a bad one. That's a
bad one. That's a that's a tough one, but that
(10:06):
happens in that movie The Family Stone, and they just
laugh it off and they're like, isn't it great that
we found out that we actually like the other person
instead of like you slept with my fiance.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Can you imagine the level of shunning that not only
your immediate family has anyone that hears that story immediately
presses you out of their social circle. That is that
is like almost like a biblical level violation of trust.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
One of my brothers dated not one, not two, but
three sisters over the course of fifteen years. Like it
wasn't in a row, but over the course of time
from like aged fifteen to thirty in the same family.
Get a new neighborhood. Wow, he's got a tight yeah,
(10:54):
and it's the.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
You know where?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Did he just like liked their dad's basement? He's just
like TV, I have nothing to do on the weekends
your dad. I think there are definite lots of stories
of relationships starting with one sibling and not going very far,
not like having any real sort of you know, love involved,
(11:25):
and then them ending up with another brother or sister.
I think that has happened a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I went to a dance with a boy that ended
up dating my sister, But like, did.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You feel weird about it? At first?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I was just like but it was more just like,
oh he didn't like me kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But I got over it pretty fast. I have a friend.
I have a friend who she was asked to a
dance in high school by somebody and she was she
dinged them like, and later became engaged to his brother.
So for always the ding the brother had to be like, yeah, yeah,
(12:11):
I got rejected in high school by you, and now
you're my in law and I'm sorry male pride. I
don't care how progressive.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Of a man you are, even a woman, you can't
bury that down deep enough unless you are a fully
self actualized person. If you have a hint, a little
hint of self doubt, that is going to pry that
wound open the whole time, that's that's you.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I don't think you come back from that way. I
don't think. And I think women can do it and
guys can't. And I think like there's something no fury
like a woman scorned different. That's not being scorned. You
don't think that's being scorned. I don't think being petering
out and then no, no, if a woman wanted to
go on a date with somebody and that person said, like, eh,
I picture scorn as being wrong.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Like I cheated on you with your sister, that's scorn.
That's pretty scornful.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
A lot of scorning. That's a lot of scorn.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, not brothers, But you know the Ramones. You and
I were talking about that a while back, Like, that's
a big thing between Johnny and Joey Ramone is that
Joey Ramone was like in love with this woman, Linda,
and they like, very very briefly had a relationship and
Johnny Ramone ended up being in love with her, and
(13:24):
she married Johnny Ramone and they.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Hated each other for the rest of their lives. Thank
god those guys were talented.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah, because you got you gotta have forty twenty vision
to see past those shore going on.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
There, those haircuts. Anyways, Yeah, it's Christmas movie season, which
is the whole point of me bringing this up in
the first place. And so many of them are bad
because they the romance angle of these is on all
these Hallmark movies. I mean, obviously they're terrible, but there
is something about the holidays that makes people extra horny.
I don't know what it is. It's like funerals make
(14:04):
people horny. I don't get that either, But brief makes people,
grief makes people horny, but the holidays really make people horny.
They love watching romance during the holidays.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
It's it's I think it has something to do with
sitting with two pairs of wool woolen footed socks next
to a roaring fireplace and a little foot see going
on on the on the coffee table or something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's that's that's it's something. It's a little static energy, yes,
but that doesn't it that feels weather dependent, climate dependent,
like in California. They're not thinking like, oh, let's cozy,
yeah fire you know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I've always said that, like my wife watches all those
Hallmark movies and I get watched. You know, I watched
them with her, and I did have like a million
dollar idea, which is, you know, you spend two and
a half hours with these people and they're both kind
of good looking people, and they're missing each other, tensions building,
and at the end of two and a half hours,
they always end up getting back together, but they end
(15:05):
up getting back together with a little smooch and then
credits roll. And I said, you could make a billion
dollars if like a on demand ad would just pop
up and just be like, do you want to see
these people have sex right now? You'pe charge fifteen dollars
and here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Let these two V.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Level actors, they're pretty close to doing porn anyway if
they're doing Hallmark movies, so let it just absolutely let
it rip.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Do you remember the Algro clip we had about the
people making fun of the Hallmark movies.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I was wondering if you two were coming to the
Green Pine Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights,
Christmas Tree Decorating Contest finalist Coleton.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
Hey, I just wanted to know if you were coming
to the Twinkle Twinkle Jingle, Jaco Mary Christmas Snowflake Winter,
Pine Cone, Pleusy mitt.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And Decorating Fans stands for.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Revolution, Hash sling, mass swinging, crash singing, cookoff, fucking stuff
for naughty saying, A wet T Shirt Contest, Shirty Countries
with the Orphans and Single tax Elevators, pre Diabetics, Sweater
Eggknoxiff and swore.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Rates tonight, I'd just to get through that. What's hilarious
is that first part is real. I thought the first
part the first time, I thought that was the bit.
It's not. It's not the bit. This is the real part.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I was wondering if you two were coming to the
green Pine Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights
Christmas Tree Decorating contest finalist.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That is real.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
You think that the writers of the Hallmark movies are
throwing in some things just to get their like jolly's
off it, Like how writers in The Lion King used
to put like little dirty jokes, you know my animation
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeahowers, yes, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Something like that. But no, I know that they they
kind of steered into the skid there for a while,
and they even hired some SNL people to be a
part of them. Who was it that went and was
in one that really wanted to be? Like Will Ferrell?
I think did one, oh really a Hallmark?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Like, I'm pretty sure Will Ferrell did a Hallmark See
to me, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
And now because Netflix is now apparently the most predatory
capitalist enterprise on earth, they are going hard real hard
after the Hallmark Channel they have some same kind of
schlocky Christmas movies, but now they got some not quite
sea level stars. They get like Lindsay Lohan is in
(17:21):
a couple of them, Like I think Amanda safe Freed
is in one of them or something like that. Like
they're starting to they're starting to put their chips on
the table about that one too.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
On the way for you, Mike Pursuit to jumping in here,
getting you ready for Monday night football Steelers and the Dolphins.
It's gonna be cold. Are you going to this brutal
No way?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I think I was just curious and I looked at
what tickets are going for on ticket Master.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's like thirty dollars.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, yeah, Pee, I mean you could go to this
game if you really wanna. It's gonna's going to go
single digis.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yes. Our buddy Tad's gonna go. Yeah, I am not.
I told him go shirtless wearing overalls. If you're going
go sports team free cryo for four hours, brutally cold night,
a lot of running the ball. Will we have Derek
Harmon doesn't look like it. We don't have TJ. Watt either,
and uh they'll have uh devon h hin. So that's
(18:15):
no good for the Steelers tonight. Got to somehow tough
enough that run defense and hope for good things to
because getting a win tonight paramount. Uh they win tonight
and then against the Browns that should get them in
with the raven schedule coming down the pike. Here, Michael,
have more on that. The Hall of Honor dinner last
night for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Did you hear that clip
(18:36):
of us play? Yeah, well you got an issue with that.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I just think I'm tearing up over he's going in
the hall with That's not the point that I took
away from that one I took.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I took.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The last parting thing was one more shot at Mason
Yoh yeah, he said. Boy, if that was me Markus
Pouncey would have lost his mind. But it was just Mason,
so nobody really cared. That was that was the text
the black clip. Well, yes, but in Pouncy's defense, he
did go on to something. Yeah, he did do something.
But to me, that was like, you know, boy, you
(19:09):
couldn't you couldn't edit that out and think of a
different way to say that.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We have to be very careful when talking about what
somebody would do in retribution for you when they were
besties with Aaron Hernandez. Yes, I guess Live from the
Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances. This is
w DV Pittsburgh.

just a few passing clouds and cold tonight for the
Steeler game, Las Night's All of Honor Dinner with the
Pittsburgh Steelers where Marquise Pouncy, Ben Roethlisberger and Joey Porter
were inducted into the Black and Gold Hall of Honor.
(20:07):
There and looking at footage of that all kinds of
Steeler luminaries on hand, all kinds.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
And three very emotional speeches by the three honorees, it
really is interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
As you pointed out, I don't even know if it
was on or off. Mike, you know a couple of
guys who are going to Canton. Ben for sure.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
Yeah, I think Pounce he's worthy, but you never know
with an offensive linean because it just stole no championships.
They don't well, they don't have the stats to write
Hammer at Home, but a great night. That just some
of the highlights. Joey Porter and his remarks. Aware of
his reputation for volatility, he referenced Greg Lloyd, James Harrison,
(20:53):
and Levon Kirkland and he said they were nuts before
I got here.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's true, so he kind of learned that role pouts.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
He was just so appreciative and almost amazed. Like the
vibe I got from him was he died to understand
why everybody was making a big deal out of his career,
which I mean, again, I think Hall of Fame worthy.
He said, when you come from nothing, it hits different. Yeah,
and then at one point he just said this is.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Freaking awesome and he just stopped.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Yeah, he was, that's that's been a you know, in
a great place. And Ben, in his typical Ben fashion quote,
I'd like to thank the Cleveland Browns for not drafting me.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Just another win for the steel This was Marquise Pouncy
last night.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
It's a complete honor to stand up here for all
you guys ladies as well, to.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Be a part of his organization.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Everything going. That's in our family. When you come from
nothing right and people take you in and I give
you a life that you never ever expected, it is different.
This is a special organization. I know my twin brother
played with the Dolphins, he played with the Chargers, but
this is different. When we come up here as family,
(22:13):
Mike comes up here as tread life family, and it
is as crazy to be in this moment.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't think y'all understand. Like, it's freaking awesome.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I'm not gonna lie about it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
It's freaking awesome. How about that? Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
Like he didn't expect it. Yeah, like Markkeith pouncing any
honor the Steelers have to give he gets he earned.
But he was sort of he was that appreciative, surprised
almost Yeah, the gratitude was palpable.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah. And Joey Porter, who I think has turned his
post career persona into like the funnest guy in the
world to follow around and he goes to the YMCA
and gets yelled at by the septagenarians there each and
every week. And uh, he's become I'm like a fun
stealer dad, which is a long way from where he
(23:05):
once was, which was most terrifying Steeler on the field.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Now that Steeler table back there that they was announcing
them was the guys that raised me. I had Levin Kirklin,
Wayne gandhy Earl Holmes, Cordell Stewart, Jerome Bettis. I played
with Potsi and hamp As. I started to show them
to steal a way that I learned from them. Dudes
back there now.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The Steeler way. Is there anybody doing that now? Cam
Hayward trying? Is it getting through? TJ trying? Can I
let you know tonight Monday Night football and I can't
lose game.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Sports that are brought to you by Bridgeal apply. So
the Steelers have another meaningful December game on tap tonight
against Miami. It was questionable as to whether they'd play
any of those this season in the wake of being
thumped by Buffalo at the end of November, but Mike
Tomlins stayed the course and the Steelers followed here's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
Now he's been the same. You know, his meetings are
for anybody like myself or Adam coming in or Marquez.
You know, it's it's pretty eye opening him Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday get in front of the team and talking
for you know, thirty plus minutes every single day. And
the way that he leads without any notes, and his
(24:18):
preparedness every single week, and the way he you know, keeps.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
A tight.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
A tight grasp of the pulse of the team and
the energy of the team makes my job a lot easier.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
You know, Rogers talked extensively about Tomlin last week, and
you could almost mash together his remarks and they would
stand as an acceptable introductory speech when Ham when Tomlin
gets into the hall, thing like just.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
One one lauded after another.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Uh, so far, so good after Baltimore, but they got
to finish and there's still a lot of work to do.
This much we know Rogers is getting what he signed
up for, meaningful December football, and what he anticipated all
along because of Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 12 (25:03):
No, it's not surprising. I mean, he's been here for
how many years, eighteen and eighteen years. I never had
a losing season. There's got to be something to it,
you know. I think every team is looking for that
special sauce of a coach who could.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Lead and be consistent and.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
You know, be involved, understand how to delegate, lead when
it needs to be done, and they don't have to
fill every space with words. And I guess one of
his greatest gifts as a head coach is that in
my time here, in this short time obviously, but I
don't feel like he's ever tried to fill his space
with unnecessary words. And that might think seem like a
(25:39):
small thing, but it's actually, you know, a very meaningful
thing that there's just sometimes the more words that are said,
the more opportunities for panic or freak out that can happen.
And he's very concise and to the point with the
objectives each week, with the point that we're playing, and
with the expectations for us as a football team. So
(25:59):
I think everybody, buddy, uh, you know, I have a
unique perspective, and guys who played also have a neat
perspective coming in here. But the guys that are here
should understand how special, uh it is to have a
guy like that lead the team.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I miss fairly detailed.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
It's now obviously Aaron Rodgers has never been to a
Mike Tomlin press conference because apparently the concise nature that
he uses to deal with the team, his press conferences
are nothing but unnecessary words. All right, it's one unnecessary
word after another for half an hour.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Well it's not. He's actually getting a lot better at
that about being terse with them. He's he's see. It
seems to be dependent on the situation. If things are
going good, he doesn't have time to talk to them.
If they're chanting fire Tomlin, he's delightful. We'll see what
(26:53):
he's like tomorrow. Hat to see how you guys doing Brook,
Can I get you a cup of coffee? You know again,
it's not.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
Out of the norm for the subordinates to praise the boss.
In fact, it would be rare if they said, oh,
coach doesn't know what he's still going to go. But
you don't have to go to that degree that Rogers went, well,
we've heard these last two hours, uh, these last two
sports casts.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Just the amount of detail and and how does.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
It seem Does it seem genuine to you or does
it seem like it's sort of like a little bit
of internal politic and also not or a little bit
of reassuring yourself for making the decision you made.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
Well, he said all along, that was the biggest reason
he came here was because of Tomlin and this these
are the games he wanted to play. He didn't get
to play these games with the Jets because by December
it was over right. And he played them all the
time with the Packers. And remember when he sat across
the table from us at Latrobe and he said, I
wanted one more shot at it.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
This is the shot. This is why tonight Monday Night
Football is what eight to fifteen kickoff means. We start
the pregame at four o'clock with Tom Moffman and Matt
Williamson before pursuita Labs and Doula crank up the network,
Rob King, Max Starks, Missy Matthew, Steelers Dolphins to night
Monday Night Football. And you gotta win this one. Gotta
(28:13):
win this one. Can't put yourself further behind the eight ball.
It's not mathematically you must, but you got to stay
in front of it. It's a lot cloudier if they don't.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
And then you got to talk about beating Detroit or
maybe sweeping Detroit or maybe sweeping Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I think Detroit's a bridge too far. I'm thinking about
going to that one. Love the stadium, love the Toime,
love the stadium, love the town. I'll tell you what sad.
Joe Burrow could have helped us out a little bit
yesterday and did absolutely none none of that. No help there,
no help there, No, they were they are checked out. Yeah, yeah,
I thought that he was gonna have a field day
(28:46):
with that defense. But whatever crisis he seems to be
having is greatly affecting the rest of the team. I mean,
Jamar Chase talked about it. He's like, I've never been
in a position where I have to uplift Burrow.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
To be honest, I never.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Been in the situation when I had to uplift him,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
But going forward, I might need to because he does
it to me at the end of the day, and
you never know what he might be doing to so
I might I might need to start doing.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
That, you know, how down in the dumps or how down?
Yeah that might stunk yesterday, Well Burrow thought that Burrow stunk.
Speaker 13 (29:20):
There's no team in the NFL that would have won
the game today if I was the corbette.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Wow, dude's in a bad place.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
I thought maybe that first press conference was a little
bit of ropidope, thinking like, yeah, I'm just not I
don't have it anymore. And then he was gonna come
out on Sunday and throw for seven hundred and forty
yards and eight touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
But no, yep, that's what I thought. Abbey's got your news.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Top of the Hour, we are going to reset you
on the sad news of the death of Rob Reiner
and his wife Michelle. And remember the legendary director Billy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Guardelle live in the nine am hour today instead of tomorrow,
since we'll be doing the Power Hour on the heels
of Monday night football. So Billy Guardell live from Los Angeles,
nine am. Charlie Batch. Next, what are you you want
to hear?
Speaker 9 (30:02):
The Pittsburgh tradition built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon,
the all request at electric lunch.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
That's one of the best. On DVE ninety four point
five Tree ws.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Steelers one to two point five DVE. Our next guest,
brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates. Local lawyers
helping local people. Nobody more local than Charlie Batch. Ladies
and gentlemen from Steelers Audio Network post game show, How
are you, Charlie.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
I'm doing well, but yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I mean, I'm warm for the time being. I'm inside,
but it is not going to be worn at Akroscher
Stadium tonight. Windshills in the single digits for the Pittsburgh
Steelers the Dolphins. I don't know if you saw. They
showed up and they went to Robert Morse and practiced
on the field. They are in the snow in the
middle of the blizzard to try to get ready for tonight.
But how did you, as a backup quarterback deal with
(30:53):
staying warm? Was that the most important thing to just
like bunluting, like, hey, hopefully they don't need me. I'm
just going to warm and a big jacket and sit
on a heated bench.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
That's always the toughest part because you have no idea
when you're going into the game, so you're trying to
stay as warm as possible. But even before the game
was starting, games like this, I would literally sit next
to Ben Roethlisberger and we would sit there and I
would say, how many layers are you putting on today,
Because it's one thing to kind of put the lawn
John's underneath, but you know, you put on one, one
pair of socks, two pair of socks, you know, so
you played with all of that, and ultimately as you're
(31:25):
standing here just kind of waiting, and I'm just sitting
to myself like, m No, it's okay, go ahead and
take it, ben, I'm.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Charlie.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
Tua is one in seven when it's less than forty
six degrees. The one win was a week ago yesterday
against the Jets, who are the most non competitive NFL
team I've seen in years, and it was forty three degrees.
If it's twenty something tonight or the win chills in
the teens, Is this a real advantage or just a
(31:56):
statistical kind of.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Cluck.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
People put a lot of emphasis on that, but trust me,
no player wants to play in degrees like this.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
So it's just the fact that you just have.
Speaker 13 (32:09):
To deal with when you're practicing and hopefully mentally you're
able to get over it. But he playing inn AFSE,
so you're going to be playing those games up north,
so you have to figure out a way to get
those wins, and unfortunately they didn't fall in his direction.
But people make more of it than what it is.
But you know, yeah, I don't necessarily think that that's
something that you can look at and say, oh, what
the temperature, this is going to be the reason why
we win.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
I don't necessarily think that way.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Derek Harmon, it doesn't look like he's going to practice
by Tomlin's own sort of standard saying he needed to
see something significant practice out of him and we did
not see that. Well, assuming he doesn't play tonight, what's
the bigger loss for them having no Derek Harmon or
having Dylan Cook your third offensive tackle on the left side.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
Yeah, I think Dylan Cook is going to be okay
because he's literally Isaac say Malo. This guy's playing fantastic
and it really has Pro Bowl considerations, that's how good
he's been playing this year. So I think he's going
to be that voice for Dylan Cook next to him,
and so I'm not necessarily.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Worried about that.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
But what I am worried about is the fact that
Derek Harmon is not there. He's the reason why we
drafted him in the first round because we were giving
up so many yards and now here you are, you know,
back to back two hundred yard games. You're not having TJ.
Watt here this week. That gives me. That's an area
of concern for me, especially when the Dolphins strength is
running the football and you know what this weather, they're
(33:28):
going to turn around and continue to hand it off
and it's going to be something that we're all to
have to pay attention to because we haven't been able
to stop the run the last couple weeks.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, that being said, do you just totally load up
against the run and make to throw the ball in
single digit cold air?
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Yeah, you absolutely do, and you make it one dimension on.
Speaker 13 (33:45):
You're just hoping that you know, the ball is a
little bit slick out here with the weather, or maybe
that causes him to make a mistake, maybe not get
a grip and not being able to push the football
down the field as far as he can throw it,
and maybe you can now make it take advantage of
that with the interception or so. So those are things
that you just, you know, you pay attention to as
the game goes on. But again, you don't know what
the wind is going to be like. And that's something
(34:06):
that I always like to go out early just to
see what the wind patterns are because you pretty much
predict what direction that deep balls are going to be thrown.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
In Charlie, they've rediscovered down the field passing against the Ravens.
Rogers has said that these are the games he came
here to play. And they added a couple of vets
who didn't do much statistically. But Adam Feeling and Marquez
Valda Scantling are they going to be impact players? And
will the Steelers be able to replicate what they did
(34:35):
in Baltimore tonight and the rest of the way.
Speaker 13 (34:38):
Yeah, I think they'll be able to replicate it because
I do expect them to spread it out a little
bit more. But when you look at it, even though
you mention those two guys statistically didn't help. But man,
when you come in here and only here for a
couple of days and you actually get to start, and
Adam Deeeling did last week, that lets you know, Okay,
they're looking for a change. And if that happens and
you look at that and you're gonna say, Okay, we're
going to use this a little bit more. So, I
(35:00):
fully expect this stealer to use that as their short
passing game, you know, equivalent to the running game if
they're not able to get that going early.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Charlie Batch, this is the time of year that you
guys really shine at the Batch Foundation. And I know
you're busier in heck right now. Tell us what's going on.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
It's been a busy month for sure.
Speaker 13 (35:19):
Already last week we had over you know, this takes
fifteen hundred volunteers to make this particular batch of toys
program work, and last week we had so many volunteers
that helped out because this year we are adopting four
hundred families, which is eighteen hundred and eleven kids, So
we knocked out half of those presents last week and
it was just truly impressive to see everybody who came out.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
And we have a really exciting.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
Week here this week as we're trying to finalize and
close out on all of these families, so we'll be
wrapping at the Batch and ultimately, you know, getting ready
to deliver next week.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
But we are in dire.
Speaker 13 (35:51):
Need of still toys ages ten through eighteen, and if
you you know, if you're interested in being the part
of it, you can go to Batchfoundation dot org. You'll
be able to see to drop off locations around the city,
also clicking ship options that will send directly to us.
So we are collecting toys up until December twenty second.
So we just truly appreciate everybody who believes in the
mission vision of what we're trying to occom.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Clicking chip is so easy and if you're worried about
getting out and abounting on the roads right now, you
don't have to. Clicking chip very simple and just go
to Batch Foundation dot org.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
By the way, nobody works a room like Charlie did
last night. Oh yeah, I wonder who the most popular
guy in the in the at the event was.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I already know that.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
I mean it was number sixteen, toy. I thought you
were running for office for a minute. Surely you didn't
shake hands with and slept on the back and make
feel a little bit better for having spoken with you.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
No, it's always good to be here.
Speaker 13 (36:45):
I mean, it's not twenty fourth year around here, and
there's been so many awesome people that I've met along
my journey and people who have supported me, and it
just become friends and some of them becomes family, and
it's just really good to see everybody. That's just from
a player perspective, but Steelers Nation and I'm just truly
grateful and humble to be a part of it.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
How about been breaking up last night, kind of being
reduced to tears talking about his love for Marquis Pouncy.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Yeah, and that's genuine.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
And that's how bad Kendrick Green was.
Speaker 13 (37:16):
He literally in his speech he said, he said, listen,
I love you, but also I'm mad at you.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Still be it.
Speaker 13 (37:23):
I wanted you to come back for one more year
and you chose not to do it and found you
just couldn't do it. But that love that both of
them have, that is genuine. As Ordanic and Mandy, they have.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
A beautiful friendship, no doubt about it. Charlie continued success
I'm looking forward to getting out to the Batch Foundation
this holiday season. Already did one clicking ship and I'm
telling everyone else to do it. I have it tweeted out.
You can go to my Twitter at d v Randy
and just scroll down a little bit and you'll see
the retweet I did of Charlie's tweet from yesterday, which
will tell you exactly what you need to do if
(37:53):
you want to volunteer or clicking ship. Just be a
part of this great thing they're doing at the Batch
Foundation this whole day today season. Thanks so much, Chuck.
Appreciate you, buddy, Yeah, I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
All right, man, we'll see Abby's got your news when
we return.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Were resetting on the sad news of the death of
Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Billy Gardellen nine o'clock hour, Jeff Conco, mister Wednesday with us.
And you think you had a rough Saturday in the storm,
Well he was spared. No, you had no quarter at all.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
You were zero time, going from seven to probably around
midnight of winter activity in.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
The weather where they're like, stay inside if you don't
have to go out, don't. Yes, you can hear the
melancholia in my voice. Voice And as I said, Billy
Gardell for the whole nine hour coming up today here
on DV.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
Hey I today find the perfect gift for the yinser
rocker on your list.
Speaker 6 (38:48):
There nocuate the bottom.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
Check out our official DV merch including our latest throwback
black and gold shirts.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Just go to DV dot com.
Speaker 13 (38:57):
When the New year hits, every business could use a
little something to stay ahead the lift, a jumpstart, an edge,
or perhaps
Guaranteed human No. TJ. Wattat the dry needling situation really
bumming me out. I always what don't I always tell
you lube your needle every single time. It's the one
thing I know about you, your needle. I know, what
are we doing with dry needles? How can we not
afford lube needles?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I don't understand. I've had acupuncture before. I've had the
acupuncture where they stick the needle in you and then
they put a electric stem on the needle. What do
you think of that? I thought it was reckless.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I don't enjoy any accoutromal to the needle.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's too inexact of a science for me. Yeah you
know what I mean, Like, is it in far enough?
Because there was times where it's like and the acupunctures
and she was lovely, but she's like explaining it like, hey,
you know, sometimes you don't get where you need to go,
so if this hurts, it shouldn't hurt, you know. And
I'd be like, ah ah, you know, okay, I got
it on the wrong place, you know, uh, and didn't
(01:03):
mess with her when she does it. Go Randy Bellman
and the DV Morning Show. That's what it would be
they'd be like okay, and then they would pull the
needle out and then put it back in.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Let's try here. It's just medieval, you know, just getting poked.
I one time had real bad lower back pain. Couldn't
fix it with the chiropractice, so they were like, I
go to an acupuncturist. And I remember saying to the lady,
I was like, my back hurts. Can you get my back?
She put one needle in. I'ment and she goes, mm, okay,
(01:33):
We're gonna focus on your shoulder, and I was like, no, no, no,
get back in there. I didn't come here for my shoulder.
Which it just that whole thing. How that got up assurance.
Sometimes it's in your shoulder, you know what I mean? Like, yes,
the referential and then they do that and then you're like, oh,
my back's fine. The whole point of acupuncture is that
(01:55):
it centers your chi, isn't it, Like that's the that's
the energies.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
There's nothing that cheat all with the place. First time
I did it, the premature acupuncture.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah, how somebody scientifically evaluated that, took that to an
insurance group and said, this is a certified treatment blows
my mind, blows my mind.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I mean I definitely have had it done, and I
do believe in it. I think that like, once they
started doing the stem on it, I was like, all right,
I don't know about this, and then you start like
looking around for a diploma on the wall.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No, no, no, like wait a minute, you had, Tory, I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
A nail tech. This counts. It kind of feels like
a second occupation for a lot of people. The first
thing that they wanted to do in life didn't pan out,
and now they're an acupuncturist. Are you like me?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Where If they're not Asian, I'm even more suspect.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I want an old Asian lady. I want to in
my mind, I wanted to like she grew up in
the Orient in the Year of the Rooster. Yeah, And
instead it's just like she's like, I'm from Washington, PA,
actually born and raised there, and this is my daughter's name,
Barb's like the needle point didn't work out, so we're
doing this TJ watt out for tonight. They punctured as
(03:05):
long with a dry needlef That just sounds awful, brutal.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Somebody tapped tapped the needle a little too hard with
the mallet a couple of times too.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Like acupuncture needles are supposed to be like some like
the surface. That's what I thought, Like they don't go
through the skin. Well maybe TJ.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Watts just so tough that they really had to bring
up like the John Henry sledgehammer and be a steel
driving man on that guy's spine.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
That's true. The only thing I could think of. This
is what happens when you let Steely mcbeam dry needle
people garsh Okay, I got my sound.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Jeff Conckle hanging out with us in studio. Charlie Batche
a little later on this morning, Jerry do you like?
And Billy Gardell hanging out for an entire hour in
the nine am hour. Abby, we did a little decorating
in the studio. We have one strand of tinsel up
just behind you.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yes, that's your it's a start and it's just quaint
enough that that's my kind of Christmas. I have one
little piece of tensil left. I'm gonna put it pine Jeff.
Whenever we get a break.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I got a tree up now we got oh yeah,
so now look, hey we're ten days out. Okay, Now
it's Christmas up till December fifteenth. I'm like, eh, but
as soon as you're ten days you wait that long
ten days out, well, I get to enjoy it. It's
so much effort. There's Christmas all around me. I've been busy.
I'm uppet sa Christmas all around Yeah. I mean, I'm
(04:34):
not anti Christmas. I just didn't get around to get
in the tree up. I watch all the dumb Christmas movies.
And do you know the one that people are talking
about this year that I have watched years ago and
have always hated this movie. And for some reason, I
don't know if it's because it's available on Netflix now
or what it is, but the Family Stone a lot
(04:56):
of people are tired. Apparently TikTok did a whole dissertation
on this, okay, that it might might be one of
the worst holiday movies ever, and they're actually going to
do a sequel with it. And it is star study.
Diane Keaton is in it, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes,
Rachel McAdams is in it, Luke Wilson, Craig T. Nelson, uh,
(05:20):
Star star after star, like just tons of big names
in one of the worst movies. If you think everybody
in Love actually is bad, and they are, they are.
There's almost no redeeming people. That is the one thing.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I remember my parents seeing this years ago because someone
told them it was a Christmas movie and I was like,
how was that? And they're like everyone in that movie
was grossly unlikable, like you didn't room for a single
person to get anything they wanted.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And the horn Stars are the are the most rootable
characters in Love. Actually, the family Stone is even worse.
These are all terrible people in a hugely dysfunctional family,
not in a fun like aren't we just this is
like just reprehensible people acting poorly okay, and they frame
(06:12):
it in a way that like and this is family.
It's like the plot is like, you know, hippie kind
of weird family, quirky family has the Michael you know,
Alex P. Keaton kind of son who's like very Manhattan
business and he brings his very stuffy soon to be
fiance Sarah Jessica Parker into their house where they have
(06:35):
lots of you know, they're fun people and they've got there,
they're lovey and they have inside jokes and she needs
everything to be the way she wants it to be.
For how for Christmas? Because that's what you would do
if you would go somewhere right, you would try to
like stomp all over everybody and then argue all kinds
of political points at the table that you know that
(06:55):
they stand for. Nobody would do this, and nobody would
bring this woman into their home. And then she has
an affair with the brother, and then her, and then
and then he has an affair with her sister, and
all over Christmas break. Every person in it is terrible.
They're all awful to the girlfriends, dramedy, and for some
(07:19):
reason it's getting like the big social media push again
And I don't know why other than like I said
that they're playing dunking on it. Yes, it's all people
dunking on it, and rightly so it's so bad, it's
so chay, it's rotten.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Tomatoes score and critics score pretty dismal.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yet no person watches that and goes that was a
lovely holiday message, wasn't it. No, it's all terrible. It's
bad people making each other worse and love actually still
to me, love actually is like bubbly while doing it.
This is depressing while doing it. Yeah, you have to.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Have some kind of redeeming quality when you turn it off,
you have a little bit of an after dinner. And
I always felt like Love actually at least had that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah. Well, and they had that rock star character who's
kind of the comic relief through it all.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
And well, plus a couple I caught like with the cards,
even though that's scene with the cards and love, actually,
I was like, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
You're at the woman's house that you're, you know, basically
trying to get to have an affair with you, and
you're just silently. You have what Q cards from the
Screen Actors Guild that you're running through with this.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You were the best man at her wedding to your
best friend murder, and it's just Yeah. Emma Thompson tries
to get her brother Lee Neesan to start having sex
with women the day after he buries his wife day
after right, She's like, you have to stop crying and
get out there. What are you talking about. I'm horny. Yeah, everybody,
(08:44):
everybody's terrible. The Colinis, the Colin Firth character, his girlfriend
cheats on him with his brother to start the movie,
and then he goes off to a villa somewhere to
write a book, and he hires a woman to take
of the house and be a housekeeper, and he wants
to nail her the entire time. It's like inappropriate on
(09:06):
every level. She can't even speak English. That doesn't stop
him from being like, not just I want to have
sex with I am in love with this woman. I
say that to this.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
That scenario where a woman is cheating on a brother
with another brother, or vice versa or whatever. This I
think is only in Netflix's TV land.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Has anyone ever heard of this happening in real life? No,
brother never doing the.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
The I only heard about this maybe once in high school.
A girl dated an older brother. He broke up with her,
and then she started trying to date the two year
younger brother, which was a big scandal. But that was
the only time I ever heard of such a thing happening.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Martin Brodure, hall of fame goalie for The New Devils,
divorced his wife because he was having an affair with
her sister. Then he married her sister's the nickname Uncle Dad.
No oh no, yeah, that's a bad one. That's a
bad one. That's a that's a tough one, but that
(10:06):
happens in that movie The Family Stone, and they just
laugh it off and they're like, isn't it great that
we found out that we actually like the other person
instead of like you slept with my fiance.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Can you imagine the level of shunning that not only
your immediate family has anyone that hears that story immediately
presses you out of their social circle. That is that
is like almost like a biblical level violation of trust.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
One of my brothers dated not one, not two, but
three sisters over the course of fifteen years. Like it
wasn't in a row, but over the course of time
from like aged fifteen to thirty in the same family.
Get a new neighborhood. Wow, he's got a tight yeah,
(10:54):
and it's the.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
You know where?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Did he just like liked their dad's basement? He's just
like TV, I have nothing to do on the weekends
your dad. I think there are definite lots of stories
of relationships starting with one sibling and not going very far,
not like having any real sort of you know, love involved,
(11:25):
and then them ending up with another brother or sister.
I think that has happened a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I went to a dance with a boy that ended
up dating my sister, But like, did.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You feel weird about it? At first?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I was just like but it was more just like,
oh he didn't like me kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But I got over it pretty fast. I have a friend.
I have a friend who she was asked to a
dance in high school by somebody and she was she
dinged them like, and later became engaged to his brother.
So for always the ding the brother had to be like, yeah, yeah,
(12:11):
I got rejected in high school by you, and now
you're my in law and I'm sorry male pride. I
don't care how progressive.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Of a man you are, even a woman, you can't
bury that down deep enough unless you are a fully
self actualized person. If you have a hint, a little
hint of self doubt, that is going to pry that
wound open the whole time, that's that's you.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I don't think you come back from that way. I
don't think. And I think women can do it and
guys can't. And I think like there's something no fury
like a woman scorned different. That's not being scorned. You
don't think that's being scorned. I don't think being petering
out and then no, no, if a woman wanted to
go on a date with somebody and that person said, like, eh,
I picture scorn as being wrong.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Like I cheated on you with your sister, that's scorn.
That's pretty scornful.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
A lot of scorning. That's a lot of scorn.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, not brothers, But you know the Ramones. You and
I were talking about that a while back, Like, that's
a big thing between Johnny and Joey Ramone is that
Joey Ramone was like in love with this woman, Linda,
and they like, very very briefly had a relationship and
Johnny Ramone ended up being in love with her, and
(13:24):
she married Johnny Ramone and they.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Hated each other for the rest of their lives. Thank
god those guys were talented.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah, because you got you gotta have forty twenty vision
to see past those shore going on.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
There, those haircuts. Anyways, Yeah, it's Christmas movie season, which
is the whole point of me bringing this up in
the first place. And so many of them are bad
because they the romance angle of these is on all
these Hallmark movies. I mean, obviously they're terrible, but there
is something about the holidays that makes people extra horny.
I don't know what it is. It's like funerals make
(14:04):
people horny. I don't get that either, But brief makes people,
grief makes people horny, but the holidays really make people horny.
They love watching romance during the holidays.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
It's it's I think it has something to do with
sitting with two pairs of wool woolen footed socks next
to a roaring fireplace and a little foot see going
on on the on the coffee table or something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's that's that's it's something. It's a little static energy, yes,
but that doesn't it that feels weather dependent, climate dependent,
like in California. They're not thinking like, oh, let's cozy,
yeah fire you know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I've always said that, like my wife watches all those
Hallmark movies and I get watched. You know, I watched
them with her, and I did have like a million
dollar idea, which is, you know, you spend two and
a half hours with these people and they're both kind
of good looking people, and they're missing each other, tensions building,
and at the end of two and a half hours,
they always end up getting back together, but they end
(15:05):
up getting back together with a little smooch and then
credits roll. And I said, you could make a billion
dollars if like a on demand ad would just pop
up and just be like, do you want to see
these people have sex right now? You'pe charge fifteen dollars
and here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Let these two V.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Level actors, they're pretty close to doing porn anyway if
they're doing Hallmark movies, so let it just absolutely let
it rip.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Do you remember the Algro clip we had about the
people making fun of the Hallmark movies.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I was wondering if you two were coming to the
Green Pine Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights,
Christmas Tree Decorating Contest finalist Coleton.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
Hey, I just wanted to know if you were coming
to the Twinkle Twinkle Jingle, Jaco Mary Christmas Snowflake Winter,
Pine Cone, Pleusy mitt.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And Decorating Fans stands for.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Revolution, Hash sling, mass swinging, crash singing, cookoff, fucking stuff
for naughty saying, A wet T Shirt Contest, Shirty Countries
with the Orphans and Single tax Elevators, pre Diabetics, Sweater
Eggknoxiff and swore.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Rates tonight, I'd just to get through that. What's hilarious
is that first part is real. I thought the first
part the first time, I thought that was the bit.
It's not. It's not the bit. This is the real part.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
I was wondering if you two were coming to the
green Pine Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights
Christmas Tree Decorating contest finalist.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That is real.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
You think that the writers of the Hallmark movies are
throwing in some things just to get their like jolly's
off it, Like how writers in The Lion King used
to put like little dirty jokes, you know my animation
and stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeahowers, yes, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Something like that. But no, I know that they they
kind of steered into the skid there for a while,
and they even hired some SNL people to be a
part of them. Who was it that went and was
in one that really wanted to be? Like Will Ferrell?
I think did one, oh really a Hallmark?
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Like, I'm pretty sure Will Ferrell did a Hallmark See
to me, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
And now because Netflix is now apparently the most predatory
capitalist enterprise on earth, they are going hard real hard
after the Hallmark Channel they have some same kind of
schlocky Christmas movies, but now they got some not quite
sea level stars. They get like Lindsay Lohan is in
(17:21):
a couple of them, Like I think Amanda safe Freed
is in one of them or something like that. Like
they're starting to they're starting to put their chips on
the table about that one too.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
On the way for you, Mike Pursuit to jumping in here,
getting you ready for Monday night football Steelers and the Dolphins.
It's gonna be cold. Are you going to this brutal
No way?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I think I was just curious and I looked at
what tickets are going for on ticket Master.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's like thirty dollars.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, yeah, Pee, I mean you could go to this
game if you really wanna. It's gonna's going to go
single digis.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yes. Our buddy Tad's gonna go. Yeah, I am not.
I told him go shirtless wearing overalls. If you're going
go sports team free cryo for four hours, brutally cold night,
a lot of running the ball. Will we have Derek
Harmon doesn't look like it. We don't have TJ. Watt either,
and uh they'll have uh devon h hin. So that's
(18:15):
no good for the Steelers tonight. Got to somehow tough
enough that run defense and hope for good things to
because getting a win tonight paramount. Uh they win tonight
and then against the Browns that should get them in
with the raven schedule coming down the pike. Here, Michael,
have more on that. The Hall of Honor dinner last
night for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Did you hear that clip
(18:36):
of us play? Yeah, well you got an issue with that.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I just think I'm tearing up over he's going in
the hall with That's not the point that I took
away from that one I took.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I took.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
The last parting thing was one more shot at Mason
Yoh yeah, he said. Boy, if that was me Markus
Pouncey would have lost his mind. But it was just Mason,
so nobody really cared. That was that was the text
the black clip. Well, yes, but in Pouncy's defense, he
did go on to something. Yeah, he did do something.
But to me, that was like, you know, boy, you
(19:09):
couldn't you couldn't edit that out and think of a
different way to say that.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We have to be very careful when talking about what
somebody would do in retribution for you when they were
besties with Aaron Hernandez. Yes, I guess Live from the

just a few passing clouds and cold tonight for the
Steeler game, Las Night's All of Honor Dinner with the
Pittsburgh Steelers where Marquise Pouncy, Ben Roethlisberger and Joey Porter
were inducted into the Black and Gold Hall of Honor.
(20:07):
There and looking at footage of that all kinds of
Steeler luminaries on hand, all kinds.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
And three very emotional speeches by the three honorees, it
really is interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
As you pointed out, I don't even know if it
was on or off. Mike, you know a couple of
guys who are going to Canton. Ben for sure.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
Yeah, I think Pounce he's worthy, but you never know
with an offensive linean because it just stole no championships.
They don't well, they don't have the stats to write
Hammer at Home, but a great night. That just some
of the highlights. Joey Porter and his remarks. Aware of
his reputation for volatility, he referenced Greg Lloyd, James Harrison,
(20:53):
and Levon Kirkland and he said they were nuts before
I got here.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's true, so he kind of learned that role pouts.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
He was just so appreciative and almost amazed. Like the
vibe I got from him was he died to understand
why everybody was making a big deal out of his career,
which I mean, again, I think Hall of Fame worthy.
He said, when you come from nothing, it hits different. Yeah,
and then at one point he just said this is.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Freaking awesome and he just stopped.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Yeah, he was, that's that's been a you know, in
a great place. And Ben, in his typical Ben fashion quote,
I'd like to thank the Cleveland Browns for not drafting me.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Just another win for the steel This was Marquise Pouncy
last night.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
It's a complete honor to stand up here for all
you guys ladies as well, to.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Be a part of his organization.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
Everything going. That's in our family. When you come from
nothing right and people take you in and I give
you a life that you never ever expected, it is different.
This is a special organization. I know my twin brother
played with the Dolphins, he played with the Chargers, but
this is different. When we come up here as family,
(22:13):
Mike comes up here as tread life family, and it
is as crazy to be in this moment.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't think y'all understand. Like, it's freaking awesome.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I'm not gonna lie about it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
It's freaking awesome. How about that? Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
Like he didn't expect it. Yeah, like Markkeith pouncing any
honor the Steelers have to give he gets he earned.
But he was sort of he was that appreciative, surprised
almost Yeah, the gratitude was palpable.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah. And Joey Porter, who I think has turned his
post career persona into like the funnest guy in the
world to follow around and he goes to the YMCA
and gets yelled at by the septagenarians there each and
every week. And uh, he's become I'm like a fun
stealer dad, which is a long way from where he
(23:05):
once was, which was most terrifying Steeler on the field.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Now that Steeler table back there that they was announcing
them was the guys that raised me. I had Levin Kirklin,
Wayne gandhy Earl Holmes, Cordell Stewart, Jerome Bettis. I played
with Potsi and hamp As. I started to show them
to steal a way that I learned from them. Dudes
back there now.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The Steeler way. Is there anybody doing that now? Cam
Hayward trying? Is it getting through? TJ trying? Can I
let you know tonight Monday Night football and I can't
lose game.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Sports that are brought to you by Bridgeal apply. So
the Steelers have another meaningful December game on tap tonight
against Miami. It was questionable as to whether they'd play
any of those this season in the wake of being
thumped by Buffalo at the end of November, but Mike
Tomlins stayed the course and the Steelers followed here's Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 12 (23:58):
Now he's been the same. You know, his meetings are
for anybody like myself or Adam coming in or Marquez.
You know, it's it's pretty eye opening him Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday get in front of the team and talking
for you know, thirty plus minutes every single day. And
the way that he leads without any notes, and his
(24:18):
preparedness every single week, and the way he you know, keeps.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
A tight.
Speaker 12 (24:24):
A tight grasp of the pulse of the team and
the energy of the team makes my job a lot easier.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
You know, Rogers talked extensively about Tomlin last week, and
you could almost mash together his remarks and they would
stand as an acceptable introductory speech when Ham when Tomlin
gets into the hall, thing like just.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
One one lauded after another.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Uh, so far, so good after Baltimore, but they got
to finish and there's still a lot of work to do.
This much we know Rogers is getting what he signed
up for, meaningful December football, and what he anticipated all
along because of Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 12 (25:03):
No, it's not surprising. I mean, he's been here for
how many years, eighteen and eighteen years. I never had
a losing season. There's got to be something to it,
you know. I think every team is looking for that
special sauce of a coach who could.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Lead and be consistent and.
Speaker 12 (25:18):
You know, be involved, understand how to delegate, lead when
it needs to be done, and they don't have to
fill every space with words. And I guess one of
his greatest gifts as a head coach is that in
my time here, in this short time obviously, but I
don't feel like he's ever tried to fill his space
with unnecessary words. And that might think seem like a
(25:39):
small thing, but it's actually, you know, a very meaningful
thing that there's just sometimes the more words that are said,
the more opportunities for panic or freak out that can happen.
And he's very concise and to the point with the
objectives each week, with the point that we're playing, and
with the expectations for us as a football team. So
(25:59):
I think everybody, buddy, uh, you know, I have a
unique perspective, and guys who played also have a neat
perspective coming in here. But the guys that are here
should understand how special, uh it is to have a
guy like that lead the team.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I miss fairly detailed.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
It's now obviously Aaron Rodgers has never been to a
Mike Tomlin press conference because apparently the concise nature that
he uses to deal with the team, his press conferences
are nothing but unnecessary words. All right, it's one unnecessary
word after another for half an hour.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Well it's not. He's actually getting a lot better at
that about being terse with them. He's he's see. It
seems to be dependent on the situation. If things are
going good, he doesn't have time to talk to them.
If they're chanting fire Tomlin, he's delightful. We'll see what
(26:53):
he's like tomorrow. Hat to see how you guys doing Brook,
Can I get you a cup of coffee? You know again,
it's not.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
Out of the norm for the subordinates to praise the boss.
In fact, it would be rare if they said, oh,
coach doesn't know what he's still going to go. But
you don't have to go to that degree that Rogers went, well,
we've heard these last two hours, uh, these last two
sports casts.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Just the amount of detail and and how does.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
It seem Does it seem genuine to you or does
it seem like it's sort of like a little bit
of internal politic and also not or a little bit
of reassuring yourself for making the decision you made.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
Well, he said all along, that was the biggest reason
he came here was because of Tomlin and this these
are the games he wanted to play. He didn't get
to play these games with the Jets because by December
it was over right. And he played them all the
time with the Packers. And remember when he sat across
the table from us at Latrobe and he said, I
wanted one more shot at it.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
This is the shot. This is why tonight Monday Night
Football is what eight to fifteen kickoff means. We start
the pregame at four o'clock with Tom Moffman and Matt
Williamson before pursuita Labs and Doula crank up the network,
Rob King, Max Starks, Missy Matthew, Steelers Dolphins to night
Monday Night Football. And you gotta win this one. Gotta
(28:13):
win this one. Can't put yourself further behind the eight ball.
It's not mathematically you must, but you got to stay
in front of it. It's a lot cloudier if they don't.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
And then you got to talk about beating Detroit or
maybe sweeping Detroit or maybe sweeping Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I think Detroit's a bridge too far. I'm thinking about
going to that one. Love the stadium, love the Toime,
love the stadium, love the town. I'll tell you what sad.
Joe Burrow could have helped us out a little bit
yesterday and did absolutely none none of that. No help there,
no help there, No, they were they are checked out. Yeah, yeah,
I thought that he was gonna have a field day
(28:46):
with that defense. But whatever crisis he seems to be
having is greatly affecting the rest of the team. I mean,
Jamar Chase talked about it. He's like, I've never been
in a position where I have to uplift Burrow.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
To be honest, I never.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Been in the situation when I had to uplift him,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
But going forward, I might need to because he does
it to me at the end of the day, and
you never know what he might be doing to so
I might I might need to start doing.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
That, you know, how down in the dumps or how down?
Yeah that might stunk yesterday, Well Burrow thought that Burrow stunk.
Speaker 13 (29:20):
There's no team in the NFL that would have won
the game today if I was the corbette.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Wow, dude's in a bad place.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
I thought maybe that first press conference was a little
bit of ropidope, thinking like, yeah, I'm just not I
don't have it anymore. And then he was gonna come
out on Sunday and throw for seven hundred and forty
yards and eight touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
But no, yep, that's what I thought. Abbey's got your news.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Top of the Hour, we are going to reset you
on the sad news of the death of Rob Reiner
and his wife Michelle. And remember the legendary director Billy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Guardelle live in the nine am hour today instead of tomorrow,
since we'll be doing the Power Hour on the heels
of Monday night football. So Billy Guardell live from Los Angeles,
nine am. Charlie Batch. Next, what are you you want
to hear?
Speaker 9 (30:02):
The Pittsburgh tradition built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon,
the all request at electric lunch.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
That's one of the best. On DVE ninety four point
five Tree ws.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Steelers one to two point five DVE. Our next guest,
brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates. Local lawyers
helping local people. Nobody more local than Charlie Batch. Ladies
and gentlemen from Steelers Audio Network post game show, How
are you, Charlie.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
I'm doing well, but yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I mean, I'm warm for the time being. I'm inside,
but it is not going to be worn at Akroscher
Stadium tonight. Windshills in the single digits for the Pittsburgh
Steelers the Dolphins. I don't know if you saw. They
showed up and they went to Robert Morse and practiced
on the field. They are in the snow in the
middle of the blizzard to try to get ready for tonight.
But how did you, as a backup quarterback deal with
(30:53):
staying warm? Was that the most important thing to just
like bunluting, like, hey, hopefully they don't need me. I'm
just going to warm and a big jacket and sit
on a heated bench.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
That's always the toughest part because you have no idea
when you're going into the game, so you're trying to
stay as warm as possible. But even before the game
was starting, games like this, I would literally sit next
to Ben Roethlisberger and we would sit there and I
would say, how many layers are you putting on today,
Because it's one thing to kind of put the lawn
John's underneath, but you know, you put on one, one
pair of socks, two pair of socks, you know, so
you played with all of that, and ultimately as you're
(31:25):
standing here just kind of waiting, and I'm just sitting
to myself like, m No, it's okay, go ahead and
take it, ben, I'm.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Charlie.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
Tua is one in seven when it's less than forty
six degrees. The one win was a week ago yesterday
against the Jets, who are the most non competitive NFL
team I've seen in years, and it was forty three degrees.
If it's twenty something tonight or the win chills in
the teens, Is this a real advantage or just a
(31:56):
statistical kind of.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Cluck.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
People put a lot of emphasis on that, but trust me,
no player wants to play in degrees like this.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
So it's just the fact that you just have.
Speaker 13 (32:09):
To deal with when you're practicing and hopefully mentally you're
able to get over it. But he playing inn AFSE,
so you're going to be playing those games up north,
so you have to figure out a way to get
those wins, and unfortunately they didn't fall in his direction.
But people make more of it than what it is.
But you know, yeah, I don't necessarily think that that's
something that you can look at and say, oh, what
the temperature, this is going to be the reason why
we win.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
I don't necessarily think that way.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Derek Harmon, it doesn't look like he's going to practice
by Tomlin's own sort of standard saying he needed to
see something significant practice out of him and we did
not see that. Well, assuming he doesn't play tonight, what's
the bigger loss for them having no Derek Harmon or
having Dylan Cook your third offensive tackle on the left side.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
Yeah, I think Dylan Cook is going to be okay
because he's literally Isaac say Malo. This guy's playing fantastic
and it really has Pro Bowl considerations, that's how good
he's been playing this year. So I think he's going
to be that voice for Dylan Cook next to him,
and so I'm not necessarily.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Worried about that.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
But what I am worried about is the fact that
Derek Harmon is not there. He's the reason why we
drafted him in the first round because we were giving
up so many yards and now here you are, you know,
back to back two hundred yard games. You're not having TJ.
Watt here this week. That gives me. That's an area
of concern for me, especially when the Dolphins strength is
running the football and you know what this weather, they're
(33:28):
going to turn around and continue to hand it off
and it's going to be something that we're all to
have to pay attention to because we haven't been able
to stop the run the last couple weeks.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, that being said, do you just totally load up
against the run and make to throw the ball in
single digit cold air?
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Yeah, you absolutely do, and you make it one dimension on.
Speaker 13 (33:45):
You're just hoping that you know, the ball is a
little bit slick out here with the weather, or maybe
that causes him to make a mistake, maybe not get
a grip and not being able to push the football
down the field as far as he can throw it,
and maybe you can now make it take advantage of
that with the interception or so. So those are things
that you just, you know, you pay attention to as
the game goes on. But again, you don't know what
the wind is going to be like. And that's something
(34:06):
that I always like to go out early just to
see what the wind patterns are because you pretty much
predict what direction that deep balls are going to be thrown.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
In Charlie, they've rediscovered down the field passing against the Ravens.
Rogers has said that these are the games he came
here to play. And they added a couple of vets
who didn't do much statistically. But Adam Feeling and Marquez
Valda Scantling are they going to be impact players? And
will the Steelers be able to replicate what they did
(34:35):
in Baltimore tonight and the rest of the way.
Speaker 13 (34:38):
Yeah, I think they'll be able to replicate it because
I do expect them to spread it out a little
bit more. But when you look at it, even though
you mention those two guys statistically didn't help. But man,
when you come in here and only here for a
couple of days and you actually get to start, and
Adam Deeeling did last week, that lets you know, Okay,
they're looking for a change. And if that happens and
you look at that and you're gonna say, Okay, we're
going to use this a little bit more. So, I
(35:00):
fully expect this stealer to use that as their short
passing game, you know, equivalent to the running game if
they're not able to get that going early.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Charlie Batch, this is the time of year that you
guys really shine at the Batch Foundation. And I know
you're busier in heck right now. Tell us what's going on.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
It's been a busy month for sure.
Speaker 13 (35:19):
Already last week we had over you know, this takes
fifteen hundred volunteers to make this particular batch of toys
program work, and last week we had so many volunteers
that helped out because this year we are adopting four
hundred families, which is eighteen hundred and eleven kids, So
we knocked out half of those presents last week and
it was just truly impressive to see everybody who came out.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
And we have a really exciting.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
Week here this week as we're trying to finalize and
close out on all of these families, so we'll be
wrapping at the Batch and ultimately, you know, getting ready
to deliver next week.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
But we are in dire.
Speaker 13 (35:51):
Need of still toys ages ten through eighteen, and if
you you know, if you're interested in being the part
of it, you can go to Batchfoundation dot org. You'll
be able to see to drop off locations around the city,
also clicking ship options that will send directly to us.
So we are collecting toys up until December twenty second.
So we just truly appreciate everybody who believes in the
mission vision of what we're trying to occom.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Clicking chip is so easy and if you're worried about
getting out and abounting on the roads right now, you
don't have to. Clicking chip very simple and just go
to Batch Foundation dot org.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
By the way, nobody works a room like Charlie did
last night. Oh yeah, I wonder who the most popular
guy in the in the at the event was.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I already know that.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
I mean it was number sixteen, toy. I thought you
were running for office for a minute. Surely you didn't
shake hands with and slept on the back and make
feel a little bit better for having spoken with you.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
No, it's always good to be here.
Speaker 13 (36:45):
I mean, it's not twenty fourth year around here, and
there's been so many awesome people that I've met along
my journey and people who have supported me, and it
just become friends and some of them becomes family, and
it's just really good to see everybody. That's just from
a player perspective, but Steelers Nation and I'm just truly
grateful and humble to be a part of it.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
How about been breaking up last night, kind of being
reduced to tears talking about his love for Marquis Pouncy.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Yeah, and that's genuine.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
And that's how bad Kendrick Green was.
Speaker 13 (37:16):
He literally in his speech he said, he said, listen,
I love you, but also I'm mad at you.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Still be it.
Speaker 13 (37:23):
I wanted you to come back for one more year
and you chose not to do it and found you
just couldn't do it. But that love that both of
them have, that is genuine. As Ordanic and Mandy, they have.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
A beautiful friendship, no doubt about it. Charlie continued success
