a dating proposition.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
If as soon as she said that, And by the way,
while I was telling that story yesterday, someone who was
with me when it occurred texted me immediately. She remembered
when it happened. I mean, it's ten years ago now
that that happened. But she was like, lol, I will
never forget that because I don't show how egregious it was.

Yes, and You can get tickets at DV dot com
or on mister Small's website.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Okay, let's let's get this going. I've heard good things
about today's show.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Just really.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And new.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
This hour is brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
It's cloudy today.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
With I a forty six, we've all got kind of
this like shaking up holiday brain. Holidays are fully upon
US and the United States Postal Services it is prepared
for the shipping rush, but there are some important shipping
deadlines to keep in mind. Today is the last day
to send your items oft in time for them to
arrive by Christmas. If you're using USPS Ground Advantage or
(05:21):
First Class Mail Service within the lower forty eight States,
the deadline is Thursday for Priority Mail Service delivery and
this Saturday for Priority Mail Express.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So it's kind of time to start panicking.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Is what I read that as, because I'm starting to
like now there's a bunch of people I didn't think of,
and I did a bunch of online ordering within the
last three days or so, and there's probably a bunch
of stuff that's not going to arrive.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
So there's gonna be a lot of apologies. I guess
on Christmas where I'm like, I it's coming.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, my family has like a three or four day
grace period. One of my texting me on Monday, he's like, hey,
just making sure you're going to be home all day
tomorrow because your Christmas gift is coming. And I'm like, Yeah,
I'm gonna stay home all day, not leaving till it
gets there. Don't worry, I'll hang out all day. So
(06:16):
that thirty dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Bottle of wine I cannot wait.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yeah, I'm like, why can't you just send something that
doesn't require me to stay at my house? Because this
has happened a couple of years and it goes on
for weeks. Yeah, Hey, I talked to UPS and they
are trying to deliver that, and I'm like, I, look,
I don't know what to tell you. I feel like
I'm avoiding creditors who because you won't send me a gift.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That doesn't require my signature. Do you have to sign
for boose? Is that what? Apparently?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
If I think it might be state dependent, or it
might literally just be the way that you send it,
it might not always require some certified Yeah, okay, I
thought he was like Randy you've always wanted a guinea pig.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Well you get tomorrow, you got You're really gonna want
to be there. They got to get acclimated once.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Once you sign the trainer, will be there between twelve
and three.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Because you can't just have one.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Of those things wild running around your house. You're gonna
need someone to teach you how to make it behave.
You're gonna have to get rid of your dog. Also, sorry, Boker,
It's right exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It becomes the point where it's like, all right, when
the gift requires me to do too much?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Is it a gift?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Is it a gift? Or is it a an errand
for me?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Because it's feeling like an errand when I have to
go to uh down to Carnegie to the post office
to pick up something, and then you get down there
and they're like, oh, sorry, not today, You're gonna have
to come next Saturday, which has happened to me, and all.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Of this effort of you just claiming the gift you
needing to be going for it is actually a bit
of an errand. And you know what, it's like, I
lived without it before. I'll be fine. I'm good, you
know what's a gift to me.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I got really mad at the wine one year that
he sent me. I'm like, I don't care. It was
like because he's really good, and I'm like, yeah, that's cool.
But I had to jump through so many hoops that
I pulled that out at like a dumb party, you
know what I mean. I'm like, you guys aren't even
that special, but this is where the wine's going.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, I go, I don't even like these people.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I don't know. Three of you have some of my
brother's wige.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, take a picture of it, send it to him.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah, this boyfriend sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
All right.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Imagining open your front door and finding a mountain of
packages that aren't even yours.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
This is kind of worse.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That is what is happening in one Washington d C's
family's home more than a hundred times over in the
past six months. A resident identified only as Britney says
the deliveries were meant for the Arlow Hotel, which is
about a mile away, but she believes guests ordering through
Amazon are mistakenly clicking her address instead on Amazon's lif
(09:00):
of delivery options. She says that her home pops up
just before the hotels, and she says that we've received
everything from cat food to vitamin supplements, even a chainsaw. Luckily,
that guest came to pick up the chainsaw. We didn't
ask questions, nor did we answer the door. But Brittany
says the confusion may come down to a single letter
difference between her address and the hotels, but the mix
(09:21):
up have led to late night knocks on her door,
which she says is very tough when you have a
child at home. Amazon says it's investigating the issue and
working on a fix, but it has not been able
to stop it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It's weird. We we'd like the whole porch delivery era
that we're living in right now is creating a weird environment.
Not only are people getting the wrong stuff, there are
people setting booby traps on their porches for the people
who try to steal their stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, it's the wild West out there. It's very crazy.
At least social media would have me believe. Well, that's
the other thing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, and also, yeah, apparently coyotes are sitting on your
porch and playing the banjo. If you believe, you know,
I don't know what exactly believe, But Amazon seems to
be kind of a mess right now in the robot age,
it just feels like there's got to be a better
way to do it. And maybe that's just by like
paying your employees and letting them pee when they have to. Oh, Randy,
(10:14):
that's only it were so simple, and then you get
your packages when you know, in timely fashion. I'm sure,
but maybe not in eight minutes a mile away. The
hotel is a mile away.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, you know sometimes when you get your neighbors, you
know Amazon Craft, You're like, I'm going to do my
good deed for the day. You got to take it
to the back door of their home and then it'll
just live there. And I know that it's off the
street a mile away. Nah, a dog, even if that
was a real person, you can't do it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Well, I'll tell you another reason why is because you
literally could get shot because you would look like you
were stealing packages that were already there a mile Because
you're doing that, you're a good deed to put their.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I was I was helping.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
If you don't have that you know, Amazon truck out there,
you just look like a porch pirate.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Pretty soon, I feel like we'll all be driving Amazon
trucks that we'll all have to It'll be like civil
service that we all have to perform.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, you don't like you have to do a couple
of years in the army.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's like, well, you also have to, you know, twenty
hours a week for Amazon America.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Oh, I think we did this story last week. The
raccoon that was discovered intoxicated.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yes, in the uh ashlanav story.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Has he been booked on other charges?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Are you serious it broke into a liquor store and
got drunk.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yes, but no, the angle of the story is supposedly
this is the third break in that he's had. So
the raccoon has also entered a karate studio.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I thought you were going to say rehab.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Okay, Now he's entered rehab and he wants to turn
his life right.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I have a family.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It was a karate studio and a DMV office.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, the karate studio is dangerous because you know, raccoons
are fierce. But depending what dojo that is good, find
yourself facing an army of Bruce Lee trainees.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But he apparently, yeah, he's a he's a repeat offender.
He tends to go in and he eats snacks. But
whenever they found him in the liquor store, he was
like completely smashed and he was unconscious by the toilet.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
But he tends to do this, so.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Well, look, if I've learned anything from Robert Downey Junior,
it said everybody has the second Act exactly because Robert
Downey Junior did all of those things and then he
ended up on Ali McBeal and the next thing you know,
he's in uh Iron iron Man.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
A few years later and you know, Bob's your uncle.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
This is a new trend.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I don't know if you guys want to talk about
your Christmas tree, but apparently people are obsessed with taking
and showing their Christmas tree nudes.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm sorry, what nudes?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Show me your nudes.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
This is a new naked Christmas tree trend which is
going rah on thessal media. And this is a way
of basically going minimalist. So there's a bunch of celebrities
that are doing this now, Julian Moore and Michelle Pfeiffer,
Victoria Beckham, Chloe Kardashian. This is a less is more
thing where it's basically your Christmas tree is either just
(13:27):
the tree nude, nothing on it and that's a hole aesthetic,
or you only do white lights, no decorations, so no ornaments,
no tensil, nothing else.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Tell you something. I was ahead of the curve on
this one, just because you're lazy.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yes, because for many years I used to just plug
in the tree that was pre lit, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Bank, there you go.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Really yeah, for many many years I did that because
I was never home, Like as soon as our Christmas
break happened, I was like out of town at a
sibling or whatever, you know, I'd go visit my family.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And but I wanted to have a tree. I just
didn't want it to have a.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Million ornaments and just a pain in the ass because
I wasn't really there to enjoy it. But now I'm
I'm in Pittsburgh a lot more often for the holiday,
so I have it a little more festooned.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
For the holiday.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Do you have ornaments?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Do they're not currently on the tree? Currently? There are
lights on the tree.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Okay, so you're kind of in the trend.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
There is a tree, there are lights. I have several ornaments.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Color lights.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
They're color lights, they're big, they're the old retro bulbs.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That is nice. Yeah, see I'm nice.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
You're really nice. But you own ornaments?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, I'm not an idiot.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Why would I ask?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You don't have to lie about the ornaments.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I have ornaments, right, Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
What do they look like? Are they round or so?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I just think it's funny that they have adopted this
aesthetic of like less is more?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Is it a real tree? That's my other question for
these guys.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't know. Would you guess if i'm I would
guess no.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I would guess yes, because real trees are more expensive, and.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, and they're rich, and they're rich, and they probably
have somebody bring in their real trees for them.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Rob Kardashian, he's got to do something.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yes, just stands there.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, notice me dressed like a tree.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The new trend this year are untalented brother dresses like
a tree.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Well that's the you know, a lot of the comments
are saying that it's it's you know, not to rag
on your tree, of course, but you know, people were
saying that it looks unfinished, looks a little joyless, looks
a little intimidating, looks like an animal might jump out like.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Out dr raccoon, pop out of the tree.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, a week ago, I got my real id from the.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Tad.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What does the Christmas tree look like in your house?
If there is one?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
No tree? No tree.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Occasionally we go to the well, I guess we haven't
done it in maybe four years, but we used to
go down to the Steeler game this past one, you know,
the Christmas game, the one before Christmas, and we would
take the tree from the tailgate that was like adorned
with beer cans.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh yeah, so we would take that.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
We would like go back, you know, drunk after the
game and be like, all right, here she is by
the in the pile of trash.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Let's take it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That's romantic. Yeah, it was a good time.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
We liked that. Yeah, we like that. But there's a
fake tree at the tailgate now it belongs to someone
shout out red seventy.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I had my bread seventy days. Hell yeah, the lot
red seven lot.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, it's very when you look at it on the map,
it is it looks like there can't possibly be any
room to do anything in there.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Impossible to describe to people who are trying to meet
you down. Yes, exactly, go to the Vazaraskar, go to
the Bazarowski statue.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yes, throw your arms in the air. I'll see you
in six minutes.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yes, I miss the tailgate culture of Steeler games.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I don't do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I know it still exists, but I also know it
does not exist in the scope that it once did,
since they've developed the north Shore. When it was mostly
parking lots, it had a hilarious uh it was like,
yins are burning, man. You'd see some of the craziest concoctions,
(17:49):
and you know, people's deer stands welded onto the back
of their trucks and all of that, and just there's
there's still elements of that, don't I know that. I
know that it's still down there. It's just I'm talking
sheer volume.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, the garages have screwed up the site lines and
just and changed the environment drastically. There probably are people
the tail get in the garages and are just sucking
co two they do.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
They do because I have a garage pass and when
you pull into the garages, people just sitting on the
trunk of their car pounding beers in the garage, And
I always think they think they're getting one over on
everyone else because they're like, I'm honor the elements.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'm like, you are breathing poison.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Right there are ten diesel vehicles around you right now. Yes,
it's not good. Not good anyways, what are you doing
for a tree?
Speaker 8 (18:41):
You have?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
The I know you, I mean, I have a child.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
The tree is in high demand.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
But for years I actually just had a tree that
I took from a kick ass Christmas from the Acts,
like I just every year, I was basically taking the
company tree because I just didn't have one and I
didn't want to go get one. And then after a while,
I think we all noticed it was pretty raggedy, so I.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Got one from mac Bids and then all of.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
A sudden, I was like, nice Christmas tree, but no,
it's this year I actually dropped my more uniform aesthetic because,
as you remember, my child told me that my Christmas
tree was goth and told me that Santa.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Was not Emo.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
That's awesome, and so this year I just told her
she could do whatever she.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Wanted to it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
And now it's just very it's asunder it is.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's it's whatever good things are everywhere, things are everywhere,
and it's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I don't trust anybody that has a super perfect tree. Also,
I came from a very messed up household. When my
dad's second wife became, she was obsessed with Christmas and
had like ten Christmas trees in the house, like I'm
not even kidding.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
They were there were.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Small ones, there were big ones. One of them and
this is the truth. And I threw it out after
she died, and uh celebrate did a little dance and
it was a huge Christmas tree and it had all
Santa heads on it, and I mean like round with
beards and hat like doll heads all over a tree.
(20:22):
That is the kind of stuff they find in like
Dahmer's house.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, right, is it like.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
The plastic kind like those? Oh I can oh, I
can picture.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It on and we walk in what the and she
would get mad at us right away. You guys hate Christmas?
Are like we like it. That's weird. It's no wonder.
I can't understand why we didn't get along.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
We like it.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
We don't like it, well because she took all the
stuff that we grew up with and just threw it
in the attic, you know what I mean? Like that
stuff never made it back out, and it would be
all this new crap, like just garbage that she would
put out, and we're like, what.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It was so weird.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It was just there was Santa everywhere, both my dad
and this one and had they were real. I mean, hoarders,
just obsessive hoarder if they if they liked something, their
obsession became overwhelming for a while.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
For my dad it was lighthouses.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And he carved a tree on our front lawn into
a lighthouse, and there was lighthouses. All there were, the
plates in the house were lighthouses. Everything was a lighthouse.
I was like, we get it, calm down. Too many
lighthouses and then at Christmas would be too many trees.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Too much Santa, back it down. We're all we're all concerned.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Were you at least able to get some mileage out
of the lighthouses, Like I don't have a gift for dad,
Oh my god, here's a Cape Hatteras original eighteen forty
one lighthouse replica.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Here you go, Dad, every time, although my dad would
famously say Christmas before and this is not a joke,
before he opened the present. As I'd give it to him,
he hold it up in the air and go, now,
can I return this in Eerie or do I have
to take it to Pittsburgh. I'm like, well, why don't
you open it, jackass, and maybe you won't want to
return it. He's like, oh, good point, Mike's coming in
(22:08):
next with your sports.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Steelers getting set for Sunday in Detroit is a biggin
or not? If they lose, you know, they can lose
both games if the Patriots, if the Patriots beat the Ravens,
it's all about Week eighteen. But I was reading something
yesterday that makes sense. If the Steelers lose this weekend,
then Week seventeen doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
The week against the Browns.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
This can huh, well if they both.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think it's.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
If the Steelers lose, there's a I don't know, Michael,
have it for you, but there's there's a situation where
we might not field all. We can rest everybody before
the Ravens and then that is our first playoff game,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I hate when we're doing the loser math right.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
It's like, we could lose here and then we could
lose a second We earn the right to lose a
second one.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
We're good enough to lose.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Double m Mark Madden and Double M Missy Matthews coming
up as well. Live from the Don's Appliance to studios
where Pittsburgh. We're getting set for Steelers and Lions Sunday
here on DVO and Taber's pointing this out during the break.
It's like, all right, Steelers, we need to win this one,
but not as much as the Lions need to win
this one.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Yeah, they're not gonna win this one. Oh boy, that
is okay. Well, okay, well, let's.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Just cut to the chain.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
I mean, I I'll go through the fake week, like
breaking down matchups. This seems this could happen, that could
I started watching Detroit LA yesterday. I watched a quarter
and a half. I just shut it off. I'm like,
this ain't happening.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Okay, why I watched Detroit lives. They're just better and
they're not gonna stop them.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
It's gonna be like forty nine to thirty one something
like that.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So played the over. Yeah, no, sit.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
I mean Detroit's the defense is decimated by injury and
the offense is pretty much unstoppable. Unless you're the Rams,
who are the best team in the league, then you
can hold them.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
In the thirties. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Des Brian tweeted yesterday that we were going to the
super Bowl and facing the Rams.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, it still might, but just not winning this Sunday
in Detroit. Okay? Is that bad that I ruin it? Yeah?
You ruin the end of the movie. Yeah, yeah, No,
I mean I watched the quarter to half lock. Forget
it's I've seen all I need to see.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
No, you basically Willis was dead. They're not going to
stop the run. They're not going to stop the pass.
They're not going to stop Detroit. Maybe coach Meat had
well by going for fourth down like on fourth and seventeen. Oh,
we're going because that's who we are.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
They'll convert, though it'll be horrible feeling. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Anyway, let's pretend it's coming up on Christmas. We can
believe in Santa Claus and we can believe.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
There's a I don't like this attitude from me one bit.
I just want to point that out. Don't like it
one bit. This is a quitter's attitude. It's not a
quitter's attitude. This is what it is. Are you gonna
do this on the Steelers pregame? I could put a
bow on it if you like, Yes, I would, I
like both.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Look at the tinsel behind him.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yes, I brought tinsel in the Steelers pregame. I'll probably
amend it to This is gonna be a really really
really really really really hard game to win. My god,
I mean I've watched them this year. I don't think
they're a juggernaut.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's just you think the Steelers defense is not quite
up to the task of stopping golfing company correct on
running attack or passing attack.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Yes, okay, particularly there on a dry fast track, and
they're desperate.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It's just a bad This is not a good. Uh.
It's the perfect storm of getting your ass kicked.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
How did they lose seven? What's the recipe for six eating?
How they lose six? What's the recipe for beating Detroit outscorm? Yeah, okay,
well that's.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Why I think I I think the Steelers can score
in the thirties.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I think they're going to score in the forties. Well,
when Allen Wizard becomes a Steeler.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Watch out, and then we have MVS Feeling and Lazard,
the full Expendables wide receiver unit is out there.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
They were also Coach Meathead has been calling the place
for the last six weeks, and they're only three and
three in those games. But their explosive offense is back.
They lost their coordinator to Detroit. Ben Johnson became the
head coach, so they had a promoted from within offensive coordinator,
and they just were not The pedal wasn't down. And
(26:33):
now coach meat heads calling the shots, and the pedal
is down and it stays down. And if they were healthy,
they could probably win the Super Bowl. But their defense
is decimated by injuries. The defensive coordinator is calling his
secondary the Legion of Whom because there's so many they.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Don't know who's back there.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Arthur Burlett remember him. He's playing snaps for them on
the Great Slot Guy. But I just think I think
the Steels offense is getting better. I think it'll continue
to get better. I don't think it's ready for this
kind of sprint.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, I look then, then I'm gonna approach this as
a donut game, which is to say, when you're in
the in the on deck circle, you put the donut
on your bat, you sway, it feels kind of heavy, right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Probably couldn't hit a fast ball with that thing on there.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
This is the donut game, and you take the donor
take the donut Nolan Ryan throws one one oh one
under your ear and you go back to the.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No no no. Then you have the Browns and then
you say, wow, that sounded fat.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
No.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
I mean, hey, I'm not writing the season off or anything.
I just think they're gonna lose this week. Okay, they've
lost before it could happen. I don't I don't remember that. Yeah,
I am only I think the last game they're real
close to having lost as many as they've won, which
is of course so's Detroit. Somebody put on Twitter the
other they see that that picture just like Tiger Woods
(28:02):
looking all smelt and cut, and John Daly's looking like
a moron at a yeah, at a fraternity golf outing,
and he's dressed like an idiot, and he's fat and
he's smoking a cigar. Somebody put the Lion's logo on
Tiger and the Steeler's logo on Daily that said eight
and six eight and six.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Ye, yeah, that's true, which is theoretically true.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Okay, fine, I thought that was appropriate. It might have been.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Nonetheless, I'd like to gussied up a little bit and
bowed for me. Let me take a break and come back,
and I want you to reassess the way that you
presented yourself just now and come back in here.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Like I said, I'm not here to fluff anybody. Well,
I'd like to be fluffed fluffy, Mike, So lie to me.
Tell me what I want to hear, and I will click.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Like Gough Jamison touchdown, Gibbs touchdown, Montgomery touchdown, I'm on
Ross Saint Brown touchdown.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
You know this doesn't sound Aaron Rodgers to Scottie Miller touchdown.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
You're gonna You're gonna learn the Lions fight song somenday.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
No nobody knows they have one, but they do. Like
the Bears have one called bear Down Chicago Bears, which
is relatively famous in football circles.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You know Bears to bear down. In other places it
means something completely different.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Whys have a fight song too. You're gonna hear it.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
They're so good that Steelers could pull a Jim Harbaugh
and just cheat and know everything they're gonna do, and
they still wouldn't stop it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I think we could stop it if we cheat, And
I'm suggesting that now after hearing you, let me do
a break and we'll come back with a brand new
attitude and a brand new outlook.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
On Steelers Lions.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
DVV has your No Destruction rock and roll at Enny
m p Michelle Michaels and Chad Dyson bring you Workforce
commercial three hours every weekday on DV. If you can't
get enough.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
If you're Pittsburgh's.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Might be suit here on the dB Morning Show, and
I hope with an adjusted attitude. No, Okaylers and the
Lions this Sunday, you.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Gotta watch some more tape during the commercial. Oh yeah,
this is the guy.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
No.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Detroit's defense is decimated by injury and can be scored upon. Okay,
but I think the offense is really going to be
a problem.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
So how do you like this for a game plan?
You just slowed it down against the Dolphins. That would
probably be the control of the clock. Why not do
it against the high flying Lions. Here, hold onto the ball,
keep it out of their hands, keep your defense, which
is also hurting on the edges especially, keep them off
the field, and uh, you know win that way top.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
That's probably how they'll try. They're all gonna show up.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
They'll okay, they'll play they'll compete, all right, and you
know then what's gonna happen is gonna happen. Uh Sports
us Up brought to you by Virgil Appliants. The Steelers
have to get ready for the Lions on a short week,
and the Tea Jay Wat's status in advance of Sunday's
visit to Detroit remains a mystery, at least for public consumption.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
I got no new news on TJ. I'm sure I
will a little later in the week, but I hadn't
heard any new updates regarding his availability of what that
looks like as he starts to work his way back
to us.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
This week, and so no real news there.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Yeah, Mike Tomlin yesterday not the first time he's conducted
a press conference in nineteen seasons and had no real
news there. In fact, a lot of that going around yesterday,
though he sure sounded Tomlin did as if Derek Harmon
is going to get to play. Harmon was healthy enough
to play against Miami, but he wasn't prepped enough.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
He hadn't practiced enough to play.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
He'll have an opportunity to get a complete week's work,
gett an opportunity to go back to his hometown and
play some football.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Excited about getting him back.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
He certainly has been an asset to us, particularly in
terms of defending and stopping to run and anticipating what
we're gonna face this week.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Man, that'll be big.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
Isaac say Malow tricep quote. Don't know what his status is,
Nick herbig hamstring. Don't know what his status is. Wasn't
really expecting twelve hours later to have anything. I mean,
it's just doing this right after a Monday night game
just promotes misinformation, not speculation, just not having anything. Lack
of information, just say lack of Yeah, but we'll see.
(32:34):
Lions are fourth in yards per game and first in
points per game. Offensively, they are twenty first in yards
per game and twenty third in points per game. Defensively,
Steelers are twenty seventh in yards per game but thirteenth
in points per game. They have found their red zone
prowess on both sides of the ball has really cured
(32:56):
a lot of ills. Defensively, they're twenty eighth in yards
per game but eighteenth in points per game. And yeah,
the Miami plan sounds like, you know, try to run
that back and keep those guys off the field. And
see if you can hold it for thirty eight minutes
instead of thirty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, the Miami plan. I like that. This is this
is the Manhattan.
Speaker 9 (33:18):
Project and they just it is. I mean, I call
Dan Campbell coach Meathead. This team is so much a
reflection of who he seems to be, at least with. Yeah,
the glimpse that we get him public. Everything they do
is fast and hard and loud and just what do
(33:40):
you think if you're a Lions fan? Subtlety to this team?
Offensively different. They don't have anybody in the secondary. They
still blitz all the time and play one on one.
If you're a Lions fan, do you love him or
does he drive you crazy? Because he's got like the
coach Kauer thing where he takes you right to the precipice,
gets you to the championship game, and then his meathead
tendencies you go for it on fourth when you shouldn't
(34:01):
have keep you from going to the super Bowl. If
he doesn't make the playoffs this year, I think he's
got a problem up there. You know, a couple of
years ago they had that run to the championship game
and then they should have beat San Francisco a big
but he messed it up by going forward when he
should have been kicked. But everybody then was kind of like, oh,
but it's so new, we haven't done this in so long.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
We'll get him next year.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
And then last year they went fifteen and two and
then checked out of the playoffs early. And now they've
already lost six, three times as many games as they
lost last year, and they're in danger not making the playoffs.
And I don't think anybody wants to hear oh injuries. Yeah,
they've had some pretty terrible luck.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
They have, They really have, there's no question.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
But all right, well it's not a necessary win for
the Steelers.
Speaker 9 (34:44):
It would be nice, Well, you know, you'd like that
Baltimore game not to mean anything.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And then what's the scenario where the Cleveland game means nothing,
where if they both lose this weekend.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
No because Baltimore plays Green Bayland.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Or if the Steelers win this weekend in Baltimore loses.
You want a two game lead with one game for Maya.
There's a lot of ways to permeate that out. Baltimore's
game behind now they're playing New England and then Green
Bay Pittsburgh is playing Detroit and Cleveland, so theoretically they
both lose this weekend.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
It's the same deal. Now you're one game up and
you hope to beat Cleveland, and you hope they lose
to the Packers. All right, then you're two up with
one to play, and it's Fanitos Santiago.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Okay, my favorite Mexican catcher. I like that. That's it.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
If there was, you know, if you're gonna start bermonizing,
I endorse that one. This one's gonna be hard to win. Okay,
bring it out. Abby's Heart your news. At the top
of the hour, we'll talk.

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE brought
to you by your neighborhood for its store at Steelers
Pro Shop. Get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 11 (36:24):
The Steelers on Monday Night picked up their twenty third
straight Monday Night football win at home when they disposed
of the Miami Dolphins twenty eight to fifteen. That street
dates all the way back to October fourteenth, nineteen ninety one,
when the New York Giants came to town and took
down the Chuck nol led Pittsburgh Steelers. Ever since then,
no team has been able to walk into Pittsburgh and
do what New York did that evening, and that included
the other night for the Dolphins. There's a bit of
(36:45):
a slow start to the game, with the first score
not coming until twenty four minutes into the game, a
Dolphins steel goal breaking the ice, but then Pittsburgh erupted
for twenty eight unanswered points as they use their way
to victory in dominant fashion, success in both stopping the
Miami Dolphin rushing attack, which was averaging one hundred and
ninety two yards over its previous four games, and rushing
the ball themselves on offense.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
No doubt helped the Steelers get the victory.
Speaker 11 (37:08):
Miami only managed sixty three yards on the ground on
sixteen carries, while the Steelers rushed the ball thirty two
times to the tune of one hundred and thirty five yards.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
And two rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
Up next for the Steelers, who improved to eight and
six with the win, is a step up in weight
class when they visit the Detroit Lions this coming Sunday.
Detroit is eight and six just like the Steelers and
currently on the outside looking into the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
But don't let that fool you. Detroit's much better than
their record. Let's on.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
It'll be a stiff test for the Steelers Sunday, but
it's one that if they pass, could catapult them towards
making a serious playoff run.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report. Steelers fans, your
team is a powerhouse.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Are you ready to throw another great game here in
the Steel City?
Speaker 1 (37:46):

And let's take a minute to talk about the other
powerhouse in town.

grit and strength to take on anything. It's an MVP
here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 10 (37:57):
Ford f Series says selling trucks in Pittsburgh and in America.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Now, how about that young duo on offense. That's the
next powerhouse on our radar.

crap I wear, and just I was underdressed. She's like
a cardigan. I was like a cardigan. I got some

It's a beautif full day Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I just want to make clear that I would look
great in a car, and I do look great in
a cardigan.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Okay, no one said you wouldn't. It's just not like
a dating proposition.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
If as soon as she said that, And by the way,
while I was telling that story yesterday, someone who was
with me when it occurred texted me immediately. She remembered
when it happened. I mean, it's ten years ago now
that that happened. But she was like, lol, I will
never forget that because I don't show how egregious it was.
(01:37):
I don't know Tad Whistles hanging out with us this
morning too. Has there ever been somebody where you like,
you go out on a first date and then they
say something, you know, like in my case, the girl
said I'd like to see you in a cardigan. I'm like, yeah, okay,
we're not. This isn't gonna work. Has that ever happened
to you back in the day, in your single.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Days, Not specifically like that, but I remember being on
a few different first dates. One really sticks out where
the woman was like, yeah, I just hate football. This
is I watched Super Bowl forty three with that woman.
Oh god, at a crowd, you know, it was insane
(02:15):
and Steelers Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
She intentionally wore red. Oh no, she walked in. I
was like, oh, this is going nowhere.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah that's yeah, Yeah, that's bad.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It was a good.

to send your items oft in time for them to
arrive by Christmas. If you're using USPS Ground Advantage or
(05:21):
First Class Mail Service within the lower forty eight States,
the deadline is Thursday for Priority Mail Service delivery and
this Saturday for Priority Mail Express.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So it's kind of time to start panicking.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Is what I read that as, because I'm starting to
like now there's a bunch of people I didn't think of,
and I did a bunch of online ordering within the
last three days or so, and there's probably a bunch
of stuff that's not going to arrive.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
So there's gonna be a lot of apologies. I guess
on Christmas where I'm like, I it's coming.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, my family has like a three or four day
grace period. One of my texting me on Monday, he's like, hey,
just making sure you're going to be home all day
tomorrow because your Christmas gift is coming. And I'm like, Yeah,
I'm gonna stay home all day, not leaving till it
gets there. Don't worry, I'll hang out all day. So
(06:16):
that thirty dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Bottle of wine I cannot wait.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Yeah, I'm like, why can't you just send something that
doesn't require me to stay at my house? Because this
has happened a couple of years and it goes on
for weeks. Yeah, Hey, I talked to UPS and they
are trying to deliver that, and I'm like, I, look,
I don't know what to tell you. I feel like
I'm avoiding creditors who because you won't send me a gift.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That doesn't require my signature. Do you have to sign
for boose? Is that what? Apparently?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
If I think it might be state dependent, or it
might literally just be the way that you send it,
it might not always require some certified Yeah, okay, I
thought he was like Randy you've always wanted a guinea pig.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Well you get tomorrow, you got You're really gonna want
to be there. They got to get acclimated once.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Once you sign the trainer, will be there between twelve
and three.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Because you can't just have one.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Of those things wild running around your house. You're gonna
need someone to teach you how to make it behave.
You're gonna have to get rid of your dog. Also, sorry, Boker,
It's right exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It becomes the point where it's like, all right, when
the gift requires me to do too much?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Is it a gift?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Is it a gift? Or is it a an errand
for me?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Because it's feeling like an errand when I have to
go to uh down to Carnegie to the post office
to pick up something, and then you get down there
and they're like, oh, sorry, not today, You're gonna have
to come next Saturday, which has happened to me, and all.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Of this effort of you just claiming the gift you
needing to be going for it is actually a bit
of an errand. And you know what, it's like, I
lived without it before. I'll be fine. I'm good, you
know what's a gift to me.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I got really mad at the wine one year that
he sent me. I'm like, I don't care. It was
like because he's really good, and I'm like, yeah, that's cool.
But I had to jump through so many hoops that
I pulled that out at like a dumb party, you
know what I mean. I'm like, you guys aren't even
that special, but this is where the wine's going.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, I go, I don't even like these people.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I don't know. Three of you have some of my
brother's wige.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, take a picture of it, send it to him.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah, this boyfriend sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
All right.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Imagining open your front door and finding a mountain of
packages that aren't even yours.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
This is kind of worse.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That is what is happening in one Washington d C's
family's home more than a hundred times over in the
past six months. A resident identified only as Britney says
the deliveries were meant for the Arlow Hotel, which is
about a mile away, but she believes guests ordering through
Amazon are mistakenly clicking her address instead on Amazon's lif
(09:00):
of delivery options. She says that her home pops up
just before the hotels, and she says that we've received
everything from cat food to vitamin supplements, even a chainsaw. Luckily,
that guest came to pick up the chainsaw. We didn't
ask questions, nor did we answer the door. But Brittany
says the confusion may come down to a single letter
difference between her address and the hotels, but the mix
(09:21):
up have led to late night knocks on her door,
which she says is very tough when you have a
child at home. Amazon says it's investigating the issue and
working on a fix, but it has not been able
to stop it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It's weird. We we'd like the whole porch delivery era
that we're living in right now is creating a weird environment.
Not only are people getting the wrong stuff, there are
people setting booby traps on their porches for the people
who try to steal their stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, it's the wild West out there. It's very crazy.
At least social media would have me believe. Well, that's
the other thing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, and also, yeah, apparently coyotes are sitting on your
porch and playing the banjo. If you believe, you know,
I don't know what exactly believe, But Amazon seems to
be kind of a mess right now in the robot age,
it just feels like there's got to be a better
way to do it. And maybe that's just by like
paying your employees and letting them pee when they have to. Oh, Randy,
(10:14):
that's only it were so simple, and then you get
your packages when you know, in timely fashion. I'm sure,
but maybe not in eight minutes a mile away. The
hotel is a mile away.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, you know sometimes when you get your neighbors, you
know Amazon Craft, You're like, I'm going to do my
good deed for the day. You got to take it
to the back door of their home and then it'll
just live there. And I know that it's off the
street a mile away. Nah, a dog, even if that
was a real person, you can't do it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Well, I'll tell you another reason why is because you
literally could get shot because you would look like you
were stealing packages that were already there a mile Because
you're doing that, you're a good deed to put their.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I was I was helping.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
If you don't have that you know, Amazon truck out there,
you just look like a porch pirate.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Pretty soon, I feel like we'll all be driving Amazon
trucks that we'll all have to It'll be like civil
service that we all have to perform.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, you don't like you have to do a couple
of years in the army.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's like, well, you also have to, you know, twenty
hours a week for Amazon America.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Oh, I think we did this story last week. The
raccoon that was discovered intoxicated.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yes, in the uh ashlanav story.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Has he been booked on other charges?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Are you serious it broke into a liquor store and
got drunk.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yes, but no, the angle of the story is supposedly
this is the third break in that he's had. So
the raccoon has also entered a karate studio.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I thought you were going to say rehab.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Okay, Now he's entered rehab and he wants to turn
his life right.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I have a family.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It was a karate studio and a DMV office.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, the karate studio is dangerous because you know, raccoons
are fierce. But depending what dojo that is good, find
yourself facing an army of Bruce Lee trainees.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But he apparently, yeah, he's a he's a repeat offender.
He tends to go in and he eats snacks. But
whenever they found him in the liquor store, he was
like completely smashed and he was unconscious by the toilet.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
But he tends to do this, so.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Well, look, if I've learned anything from Robert Downey Junior,
it said everybody has the second Act exactly because Robert
Downey Junior did all of those things and then he
ended up on Ali McBeal and the next thing you know,
he's in uh Iron iron Man.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
A few years later and you know, Bob's your uncle.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
All right.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
This is a new trend.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
I don't know if you guys want to talk about
your Christmas tree, but apparently people are obsessed with taking
and showing their Christmas tree nudes.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm sorry, what nudes?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Show me your nudes.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
This is a new naked Christmas tree trend which is
going rah on thessal media. And this is a way
of basically going minimalist. So there's a bunch of celebrities
that are doing this now, Julian Moore and Michelle Pfeiffer,
Victoria Beckham, Chloe Kardashian. This is a less is more
thing where it's basically your Christmas tree is either just
(13:27):
the tree nude, nothing on it and that's a hole aesthetic,
or you only do white lights, no decorations, so no ornaments,
no tensil, nothing else.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Tell you something. I was ahead of the curve on
this one, just because you're lazy.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yes, because for many years I used to just plug
in the tree that was pre lit, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Bank, there you go.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Really yeah, for many many years I did that because
I was never home, Like as soon as our Christmas
break happened, I was like out of town at a
sibling or whatever, you know, I'd go visit my family.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And but I wanted to have a tree. I just
didn't want it to have a.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Million ornaments and just a pain in the ass because
I wasn't really there to enjoy it. But now I'm
I'm in Pittsburgh a lot more often for the holiday,
so I have it a little more festooned.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
For the holiday.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Do you have ornaments?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Do they're not currently on the tree? Currently? There are
lights on the tree.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Okay, so you're kind of in the trend.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
There is a tree, there are lights. I have several ornaments.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Color lights.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
They're color lights, they're big, they're the old retro bulbs.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That is nice. Yeah, see I'm nice.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
You're really nice. But you own ornaments?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, I'm not an idiot.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Why would I ask?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You don't have to lie about the ornaments.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I have ornaments, right, Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
What do they look like? Are they round or so?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I just think it's funny that they have adopted this
aesthetic of like less is more?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Is it a real tree? That's my other question for
these guys.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I don't know. Would you guess if i'm I would
guess no.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I would guess yes, because real trees are more expensive, and.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah, and they're rich, and they're rich, and they probably
have somebody bring in their real trees for them.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Rob Kardashian, he's got to do something.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yes, just stands there.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, notice me dressed like a tree.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The new trend this year are untalented brother dresses like
a tree.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Well that's the you know, a lot of the comments
are saying that it's it's you know, not to rag
on your tree, of course, but you know, people were
saying that it looks unfinished, looks a little joyless, looks
a little intimidating, looks like an animal might jump out like.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Out dr raccoon, pop out of the tree.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Yeah, a week ago, I got my real id from the.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Tad.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What does the Christmas tree look like in your house?
If there is one?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
No tree? No tree.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Occasionally we go to the well, I guess we haven't
done it in maybe four years, but we used to
go down to the Steeler game this past one, you know,
the Christmas game, the one before Christmas, and we would
take the tree from the tailgate that was like adorned
with beer cans.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh yeah, so we would take that.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
We would like go back, you know, drunk after the
game and be like, all right, here she is by
the in the pile of trash.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Let's take it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That's romantic. Yeah, it was a good time.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
We liked that. Yeah, we like that. But there's a
fake tree at the tailgate now it belongs to someone
shout out red seventy.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I had my bread seventy days. Hell yeah, the lot
red seven lot.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, it's very when you look at it on the map,
it is it looks like there can't possibly be any
room to do anything in there.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Impossible to describe to people who are trying to meet
you down. Yes, exactly, go to the Vazaraskar, go to
the Bazarowski statue.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yes, throw your arms in the air. I'll see you
in six minutes.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yes, I miss the tailgate culture of Steeler games.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I don't do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I know it still exists, but I also know it
does not exist in the scope that it once did,
since they've developed the north Shore. When it was mostly
parking lots, it had a hilarious uh it was like,
yins are burning, man. You'd see some of the craziest concoctions,
(17:49):
and you know, people's deer stands welded onto the back
of their trucks and all of that, and just there's
there's still elements of that, don't I know that. I
know that it's still down there. It's just I'm talking
sheer volume.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, the garages have screwed up the site lines and
just and changed the environment drastically. There probably are people
the tail get in the garages and are just sucking
co two they do.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
They do because I have a garage pass and when
you pull into the garages, people just sitting on the
trunk of their car pounding beers in the garage, And
I always think they think they're getting one over on
everyone else because they're like, I'm honor the elements.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'm like, you are breathing poison.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Right there are ten diesel vehicles around you right now. Yes,
it's not good. Not good anyways, what are you doing
for a tree?
Speaker 8 (18:41):
You have?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
The I know you, I mean, I have a child.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
The tree is in high demand.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
But for years I actually just had a tree that
I took from a kick ass Christmas from the Acts,
like I just every year, I was basically taking the
company tree because I just didn't have one and I
didn't want to go get one. And then after a while,
I think we all noticed it was pretty raggedy, so I.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Got one from mac Bids and then all of.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
A sudden, I was like, nice Christmas tree, but no,
it's this year I actually dropped my more uniform aesthetic because,
as you remember, my child told me that my Christmas
tree was goth and told me that Santa.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Was not Emo.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
That's awesome, and so this year I just told her
she could do whatever she.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Wanted to it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
And now it's just very it's asunder it is.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's it's whatever good things are everywhere, things are everywhere,
and it's fine.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I don't trust anybody that has a super perfect tree. Also,
I came from a very messed up household. When my
dad's second wife became, she was obsessed with Christmas and
had like ten Christmas trees in the house, like I'm
not even kidding.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
They were there were.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Small ones, there were big ones. One of them and
this is the truth. And I threw it out after
she died, and uh celebrate did a little dance and
it was a huge Christmas tree and it had all
Santa heads on it, and I mean like round with
beards and hat like doll heads all over a tree.
(20:22):
That is the kind of stuff they find in like
Dahmer's house.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, right, is it like.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
The plastic kind like those? Oh I can oh, I
can picture.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It on and we walk in what the and she
would get mad at us right away. You guys hate Christmas?
Are like we like it. That's weird. It's no wonder.
I can't understand why we didn't get along.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
We like it.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
We don't like it, well because she took all the
stuff that we grew up with and just threw it
in the attic, you know what I mean? Like that
stuff never made it back out, and it would be
all this new crap, like just garbage that she would
put out, and we're like, what.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It was so weird.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
It was just there was Santa everywhere, both my dad
and this one and had they were real. I mean, hoarders,
just obsessive hoarder if they if they liked something, their
obsession became overwhelming for a while.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
For my dad it was lighthouses.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And he carved a tree on our front lawn into
a lighthouse, and there was lighthouses. All there were, the
plates in the house were lighthouses. Everything was a lighthouse.
I was like, we get it, calm down. Too many
lighthouses and then at Christmas would be too many trees.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Too much Santa, back it down. We're all we're all concerned.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Were you at least able to get some mileage out
of the lighthouses, Like I don't have a gift for dad,
Oh my god, here's a Cape Hatteras original eighteen forty
one lighthouse replica.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Here you go, Dad, every time, although my dad would
famously say Christmas before and this is not a joke,
before he opened the present. As I'd give it to him,
he hold it up in the air and go, now,
can I return this in Eerie or do I have
to take it to Pittsburgh. I'm like, well, why don't
you open it, jackass, and maybe you won't want to
return it. He's like, oh, good point, Mike's coming in
(22:08):
next with your sports.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Steelers getting set for Sunday in Detroit is a biggin
or not? If they lose, you know, they can lose
both games if the Patriots, if the Patriots beat the Ravens,
it's all about Week eighteen. But I was reading something
yesterday that makes sense. If the Steelers lose this weekend,
then Week seventeen doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
The week against the Browns.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
This can huh, well if they both.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think it's.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
If the Steelers lose, there's a I don't know, Michael,
have it for you, but there's there's a situation where
we might not field all. We can rest everybody before
the Ravens and then that is our first playoff game,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I hate when we're doing the loser math right.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
It's like, we could lose here and then we could
lose a second We earn the right to lose a
second one.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
We're good enough to lose.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Double m Mark Madden and Double M Missy Matthews coming
up as well. Live from the Don's Appliance to studios
where Pittsburgh. We're getting set for Steelers and Lions Sunday
here on DVO and Taber's pointing this out during the break.
It's like, all right, Steelers, we need to win this one,
but not as much as the Lions need to win
this one.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
Yeah, they're not gonna win this one. Oh boy, that
is okay. Well, okay, well, let's.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Just cut to the chain.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
I mean, I I'll go through the fake week, like
breaking down matchups. This seems this could happen, that could
I started watching Detroit LA yesterday. I watched a quarter
and a half. I just shut it off. I'm like,
this ain't happening.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Okay, why I watched Detroit lives. They're just better and
they're not gonna stop them.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
It's gonna be like forty nine to thirty one something
like that.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So played the over. Yeah, no, sit.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
I mean Detroit's the defense is decimated by injury and
the offense is pretty much unstoppable. Unless you're the Rams,
who are the best team in the league, then you
can hold them.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
In the thirties. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Des Brian tweeted yesterday that we were going to the
super Bowl and facing the Rams.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, it still might, but just not winning this Sunday
in Detroit. Okay? Is that bad that I ruin it? Yeah?
You ruin the end of the movie. Yeah, yeah, No,
I mean I watched the quarter to half lock. Forget
it's I've seen all I need to see.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
No, you basically Willis was dead. They're not going to
stop the run. They're not going to stop the pass.
They're not going to stop Detroit. Maybe coach Meat had
well by going for fourth down like on fourth and seventeen. Oh,
we're going because that's who we are.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
They'll convert, though it'll be horrible feeling. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Anyway, let's pretend it's coming up on Christmas. We can
believe in Santa Claus and we can believe.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
There's a I don't like this attitude from me one bit.
I just want to point that out. Don't like it
one bit. This is a quitter's attitude. It's not a
quitter's attitude. This is what it is. Are you gonna
do this on the Steelers pregame? I could put a
bow on it if you like, Yes, I would, I
like both.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Look at the tinsel behind him.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yes, I brought tinsel in the Steelers pregame. I'll probably
amend it to This is gonna be a really really
really really really really hard game to win. My god,
I mean I've watched them this year. I don't think
they're a juggernaut.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's just you think the Steelers defense is not quite
up to the task of stopping golfing company correct on
running attack or passing attack.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Yes, okay, particularly there on a dry fast track, and
they're desperate.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It's just a bad This is not a good. Uh.
It's the perfect storm of getting your ass kicked.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
How did they lose seven? What's the recipe for six eating?
How they lose six? What's the recipe for beating Detroit outscorm? Yeah, okay,
well that's.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Why I think I I think the Steelers can score
in the thirties.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I think they're going to score in the forties. Well,
when Allen Wizard becomes a Steeler.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Watch out, and then we have MVS Feeling and Lazard,
the full Expendables wide receiver unit is out there.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
They were also Coach Meathead has been calling the place
for the last six weeks, and they're only three and
three in those games. But their explosive offense is back.
They lost their coordinator to Detroit. Ben Johnson became the
head coach, so they had a promoted from within offensive coordinator,
and they just were not The pedal wasn't down. And
(26:33):
now coach meat heads calling the shots, and the pedal
is down and it stays down. And if they were healthy,
they could probably win the Super Bowl. But their defense
is decimated by injuries. The defensive coordinator is calling his
secondary the Legion of Whom because there's so many they.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Don't know who's back there.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Arthur Burlett remember him. He's playing snaps for them on
the Great Slot Guy. But I just think I think
the Steels offense is getting better. I think it'll continue
to get better. I don't think it's ready for this
kind of sprint.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, I look then, then I'm gonna approach this as
a donut game, which is to say, when you're in
the in the on deck circle, you put the donut
on your bat, you sway, it feels kind of heavy, right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Probably couldn't hit a fast ball with that thing on there.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
This is the donut game, and you take the donor
take the donut Nolan Ryan throws one one oh one
under your ear and you go back to the.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No no no. Then you have the Browns and then
you say, wow, that sounded fat.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
No.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
I mean, hey, I'm not writing the season off or anything.
I just think they're gonna lose this week. Okay, they've
lost before it could happen. I don't I don't remember that. Yeah,
I am only I think the last game they're real
close to having lost as many as they've won, which
is of course so's Detroit. Somebody put on Twitter the
other they see that that picture just like Tiger Woods
(28:02):
looking all smelt and cut, and John Daly's looking like
a moron at a yeah, at a fraternity golf outing,
and he's dressed like an idiot, and he's fat and
he's smoking a cigar. Somebody put the Lion's logo on
Tiger and the Steeler's logo on Daily that said eight
and six eight and six.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Ye, yeah, that's true, which is theoretically true.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Okay, fine, I thought that was appropriate. It might have been.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Nonetheless, I'd like to gussied up a little bit and
bowed for me. Let me take a break and come back,
and I want you to reassess the way that you
presented yourself just now and come back in here.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Like I said, I'm not here to fluff anybody. Well,
I'd like to be fluffed fluffy, Mike, So lie to me.
Tell me what I want to hear, and I will click.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Like Gough Jamison touchdown, Gibbs touchdown, Montgomery touchdown, I'm on
Ross Saint Brown touchdown.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
You know this doesn't sound Aaron Rodgers to Scottie Miller touchdown.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
You're gonna You're gonna learn the Lions fight song somenday.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
No nobody knows they have one, but they do. Like
the Bears have one called bear Down Chicago Bears, which
is relatively famous in football circles.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
You know Bears to bear down. In other places it
means something completely different.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Whys have a fight song too. You're gonna hear it.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
They're so good that Steelers could pull a Jim Harbaugh
and just cheat and know everything they're gonna do, and
they still wouldn't stop it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I think we could stop it if we cheat, And
I'm suggesting that now after hearing you, let me do
a break and we'll come back with a brand new
attitude and a brand new outlook.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
On Steelers Lions.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
DVV has your No Destruction rock and roll at Enny
m p Michelle Michaels and Chad Dyson bring you Workforce
commercial three hours every weekday on DV. If you can't
get enough.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
If you're Pittsburgh's.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Might be suit here on the dB Morning Show, and
I hope with an adjusted attitude. No, Okaylers and the
Lions this Sunday, you.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
Gotta watch some more tape during the commercial. Oh yeah,
this is the guy.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
No.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Detroit's defense is decimated by injury and can be scored upon. Okay,
but I think the offense is really going to be
a problem.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
So how do you like this for a game plan?
You just slowed it down against the Dolphins. That would
probably be the control of the clock. Why not do
it against the high flying Lions. Here, hold onto the ball,
keep it out of their hands, keep your defense, which
is also hurting on the edges especially, keep them off
the field, and uh, you know win that way top.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
That's probably how they'll try. They're all gonna show up.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
They'll okay, they'll play they'll compete, all right, and you
know then what's gonna happen is gonna happen. Uh Sports
us Up brought to you by Virgil Appliants. The Steelers
have to get ready for the Lions on a short week,
and the Tea Jay Wat's status in advance of Sunday's
visit to Detroit remains a mystery, at least for public consumption.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
I got no new news on TJ. I'm sure I
will a little later in the week, but I hadn't
heard any new updates regarding his availability of what that
looks like as he starts to work his way back
to us.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
This week, and so no real news there.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Yeah, Mike Tomlin yesterday not the first time he's conducted
a press conference in nineteen seasons and had no real
news there. In fact, a lot of that going around yesterday,
though he sure sounded Tomlin did as if Derek Harmon
is going to get to play. Harmon was healthy enough
to play against Miami, but he wasn't prepped enough.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
He hadn't practiced enough to play.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
He'll have an opportunity to get a complete week's work,
gett an opportunity to go back to his hometown and
play some football.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Excited about getting him back.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
He certainly has been an asset to us, particularly in
terms of defending and stopping to run and anticipating what
we're gonna face this week.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Man, that'll be big.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
Isaac say Malow tricep quote. Don't know what his status is,
Nick herbig hamstring. Don't know what his status is. Wasn't
really expecting twelve hours later to have anything. I mean,
it's just doing this right after a Monday night game
just promotes misinformation, not speculation, just not having anything. Lack
of information, just say lack of Yeah, but we'll see.
(32:34):
Lions are fourth in yards per game and first in
points per game. Offensively, they are twenty first in yards
per game and twenty third in points per game. Defensively,
Steelers are twenty seventh in yards per game but thirteenth
in points per game. They have found their red zone
prowess on both sides of the ball has really cured
(32:56):
a lot of ills. Defensively, they're twenty eighth in yards
per game but eighteenth in points per game. And yeah,
the Miami plan sounds like, you know, try to run
that back and keep those guys off the field. And
see if you can hold it for thirty eight minutes
instead of thirty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, the Miami plan. I like that. This is this
is the Manhattan.
Speaker 9 (33:18):
Project and they just it is. I mean, I call
Dan Campbell coach Meathead. This team is so much a
reflection of who he seems to be, at least with. Yeah,
the glimpse that we get him public. Everything they do
is fast and hard and loud and just what do
(33:40):
you think if you're a Lions fan? Subtlety to this team?
Offensively different. They don't have anybody in the secondary. They
still blitz all the time and play one on one.
If you're a Lions fan, do you love him or
does he drive you crazy? Because he's got like the
coach Kauer thing where he takes you right to the precipice,
gets you to the championship game, and then his meathead
tendencies you go for it on fourth when you shouldn't
(34:01):
have keep you from going to the super Bowl. If
he doesn't make the playoffs this year, I think he's
got a problem up there. You know, a couple of
years ago they had that run to the championship game
and then they should have beat San Francisco a big
but he messed it up by going forward when he
should have been kicked. But everybody then was kind of like, oh,
but it's so new, we haven't done this in so long.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
We'll get him next year.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
And then last year they went fifteen and two and
then checked out of the playoffs early. And now they've
already lost six, three times as many games as they
lost last year, and they're in danger not making the playoffs.
And I don't think anybody wants to hear oh injuries. Yeah,
they've had some pretty terrible luck.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
They have, They really have, there's no question.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
But all right, well it's not a necessary win for
the Steelers.
Speaker 9 (34:44):
It would be nice, Well, you know, you'd like that
Baltimore game not to mean anything.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
And then what's the scenario where the Cleveland game means nothing,
where if they both lose this weekend.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
No because Baltimore plays Green Bayland.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Or if the Steelers win this weekend in Baltimore loses.
You want a two game lead with one game for Maya.
There's a lot of ways to permeate that out. Baltimore's
game behind now they're playing New England and then Green
Bay Pittsburgh is playing Detroit and Cleveland, so theoretically they
both lose this weekend.
Speaker 9 (35:21):
It's the same deal. Now you're one game up and
you hope to beat Cleveland, and you hope they lose
to the Packers. All right, then you're two up with
one to play, and it's Fanitos Santiago.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Okay, my favorite Mexican catcher. I like that. That's it.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
If there was, you know, if you're gonna start bermonizing,
I endorse that one. This one's gonna be hard to win. Okay,
bring it out. Abby's Heart your news. At the top

Speaker 11 (36:24):
The Steelers on Monday Night picked up their twenty third
straight Monday Night football win at home when they disposed
of the Miami Dolphins twenty eight to fifteen. That street
dates all the way back to October fourteenth, nineteen ninety one,
when the New York Giants came to town and took
down the Chuck nol led Pittsburgh Steelers. Ever since then,
no team has been able to walk into Pittsburgh and
do what New York did that evening, and that included
the other night for the Dolphins. There's a bit of
(36:45):
a slow start to the game, with the first score
not coming until twenty four minutes into the game, a
Dolphins steel goal breaking the ice, but then Pittsburgh erupted
for twenty eight unanswered points as they use their way
to victory in dominant fashion, success in both stopping the
Miami Dolphin rushing attack, which was averaging one hundred and
ninety two yards over its previous four games, and rushing
the ball themselves on offense.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
No doubt helped the Steelers get the victory.
Speaker 11 (37:08):
Miami only managed sixty three yards on the ground on
sixteen carries, while the Steelers rushed the ball thirty two
times to the tune of one hundred and thirty five yards.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
And two rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
Up next for the Steelers, who improved to eight and
six with the win, is a step up in weight
class when they visit the Detroit Lions this coming Sunday.
Detroit is eight and six just like the Steelers and
currently on the outside looking into the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
But don't let that fool you. Detroit's much better than
their record. Let's on.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
It'll be a stiff test for the Steelers Sunday, but
it's one that if they pass, could catapult them towards
making a serious playoff run.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report. Steelers fans, your
team is a powerhouse.
Speaker 2 (37:43):

the Steel City?

powerhouse in town.

grit and strength to take on anything. It's an MVP
here in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 10 (37:57):
