talking to him, like hey Andy, and he's like.

You're welcome.

get in there again. Yeah, have some money, Mustard.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's good, isn't it? I'm sorry? Yeah? Yeah, good? Another good.
He's like Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Brandy Bellman and the DV morning show.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Tad Whistles with us. Yeah, there's always a guy sitting
in the room where the food is at one of
those holiday parties and he's just watching you eat. It's
the weirdo with this Christmas sweater. And then he goes
back into his home for a year. Ye, we have
to get Uncle Bernard back out. It's Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I brought a beef log.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Abby's here, what's your beef.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
What's your beefs do.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
News?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
This hours brought to my mother call side Claude with
a high forty six today. Okay, so we have a
beam delivery today. Major Pittsburgh Highway is expected to face
some temporary closures and.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
This is different hours.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's an ongoing bridge project.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Ben Dott is advising motorists that the deliveries for the
Commercial Street bridge replacement is going to occur today. So
that's expected to start anywhere between ten am through two pm.
So for deliveries to occur, large trucks have to travel
on southbound I seventy nine, inbound on the Parkway West,
and inbound on the Parkway West to the Plaza outside
(02:12):
of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. Westbound traffic will experience intermittent
traffic stoppages as long as fifteen minutes near the tunnel
entrance to permit the trucks to cross lanes into the
work area. This is something that we've seen before. Those
beam deliveries like keep happening on and off here and
it's going to be a long project. So people have
probably seen this fish before, but I'm letting you know
(02:35):
it's happening starting at ten am.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I tried to do it with grub hub and they
totally turn it down. Cars. I'm glad to know what
bridge it's going to.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It makes you feel like progress.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A little bit at a time.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna take a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So our bridges won't all just start falling out of
the sky again. That's a good good to know.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
All right.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I missed this on the Pittsburgh scanner and I did.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That was like when that bridge fell over in what
you might call it the Fern Hollow. Yeah, that was
like a Pittsburgh punchline for a long time. That was
very close to being one of the biggest tragedies in
the country's history.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It fell at five am, and had it fallen almost
any other time, yeah, it would have been disastrous.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yes, how about five pm?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Right, And because it wasn't, we're.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Like, oh, whoa got away with one there?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
We should make T shirts. Let's make T shirts about this?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Can you believeman war shorts?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah? It was cold, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But a couple hours later it's like that Bill Burr
a bit about like driving down the road and seeing
a crowd of people, like moving your hand one inch
that way, you know, just mowing down a group of
mowing down a group of people, and like everything's fine.
You're going about what of that tragedies one that way?
(04:05):
Nothing like the Call of the Void. It's the call
of the void. Yeah, there's a name for it. Oh
it's a French concle had it. I can't remember. No, yeah, no,
he doesn't actually and he's not like he.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Has a call.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
He's not afflicted by it. He just he knew the word.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Anyways, go ahead, Okay, Well I missed this one on
the Pittsburgh Scanner. This happened on December the tenth, and
it brings back an old fave in the south Side
Burger King. Apparently, on December the tenth, south Side Burger
King got a call from police reporting that somebody ordered
a bunch of cheeseburgers and then started throwing them at
(04:41):
other customers. That apparently was the third burger King incident
that the scanner account posted in the past two years,
following an irate customer and a female inside that was
causing a scene. But the south Side Burger King is
still kicking, and I actually thought it got shut down
like one thousand percent.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's a real burger king. Again, it's back. I think so,
because that was I mean, that is the kind of
thing that you expect. If I went in there and
didn't see someone flinging hamburgers around, I would I'd feel disappointed,
like I didn't get my money's worth.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I came here for a show.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Because it's the South Side burger king, and if you
just have a normal burger kating experience, it would probably
be a letdown.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
What we're here for.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, Okay, one time when, like when we were younger,
and my brother and I were in a band together,
and we played at this venue that was adjacent to
a McDonald's. Like when you looked out of from the stage,
there's a window and then the drive through you can
see the drive through was that clular.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, this is up and eerie.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And he got a wireless thing on his guitar and
then went out of the bar, still playing, and had
our friend take him through the drive through and he
got a bunch of burgers and then he came back
into the bar on that guy's shoulders, and and the
guy was flinging cheeseburgers and he was doing like the
buddy guy thing, like playing up, you know, and They're
(06:00):
just flinging burgers all over the bar. And it was
like one of the funniest things ever because you'd see
like some people eating burgers and other ones were just
smashed onto the ground, you know, and I thought, like,
how many people picked them off of the ground and
started eating them?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Five second rule?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Dude, free burger. Yeah it was a McDonald's cheeseburger being
flung around, no problem. Yeah, but that was the only
time I've seen fast food burgers being flung everywhere. My
brother just this dude just throwing them all over the bar.
And how long did it take? One o'clock in the morning.
It was fairly quick. It was fairly quick. Yeah, No,
(06:37):
And that was what was hilarious about is like, you know,
he's losing touch, and you could tell he's like, all right,
he's lost the time. He doesn't know what he's doing,
and everyone's like, what is happening. It was like objectively bad,
you know. Uh, And but when he came back in
with the burgers, it redeemed it.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, good bit.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Your musically not grant hilarious.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
All right, tis the season.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
We were not going to talk about the big ee here,
but we're going to go over a few amusing examples
of white lies the parents tell to get through everything
with parenting, and maybe some thoughts as well from the
experts as whether these are tales that are harmless as
we think they are.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So I'll give you an example.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Sometimes parents will tell kids, we have to sacrifice our
Halloween candy to the Great Pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Okay, I mean you know this is to me Easter
Bunny territory.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
It is, you know, uh, that way you you kind
of get away with, like not having to keep all
of the Halloween candy that the kids bring home.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I think a lot of people that work here just
steal it from their kids and they bring it in
and dump it in the DJ cafe.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Very smart. Yeah, smart move.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
They're like, just get this out of my house, and
then all the degenerate DJs go in there and gobble
it up like chuds.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Yeah, the Great Pumpkin model.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Though, I think you tell.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The candy human underground dwellers to pagan, it's just for
the Great Pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Kids.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I think you tell the kid they can only keep, like,
however many pieces of candy as they are in age,
like you're eight years old, you get to keep eight
Pieces of candy.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And Bernie Sanders wins, this is what happens to your
candy's fortal.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I like this one. Siri is on vacation. Say that again,
Siri is on vacation.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh okay, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I like that one too.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
So that way, you know, she just decides not to
respond for a while and you get your life back.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I guess for a while. But I guess that's for
little kids. They use Siri too.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Is that I would imagine that this is Alexa Siri
any one of those?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Hey, Google, are you on vacation? I'm a little disturbed
to know that it's that. Yeah, we have to make
up lies about serious whereabouts for kids.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, there's no Siri in my house. There's no there's
no talking robots in the house.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
That's good. It's still listening to you. Your phone and
your computer are listening to you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
What were you guys bringing up, because it started to
haunt me.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You both brought this up, something about closing apps when
you're not using What was was there like an article?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Was there like? Or was this just something.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That was I think it's like common knowledge.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
What is it though?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
That if you don't like close out of your social
media apps, in particular that it follows you with more
precision than cookies allow it to. I'm telling you, man,
I had this weird thing happened last week. I was like,
I need to get new bath towels, like my bath powel.
(09:40):
I just feel like I grew up using those holiday
in bath towels that were worn, like they had holes
in them and stuff. And one of the few luxuries
that I'd like to afford myself at this point in
my life is getting nice towels. And the batch I
have right now are kind of getting worn down and
they're just like stiff and whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
It's like they're time. It's time for them to become
dog towels or car towels or something, you know. And
I literally only thought it. I never said it out loud,
I never mentioned it, I never said the word and
towel stuff started showing up in my timeline.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
That's no good, and I.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Don't like, there is no rational reason why that should happen.
I never said the word towel. I didn't click on anything.
I just thought it and it started showing up. Ooh,
it's really weird. I don't it has to be coincidental, right,
there's you hope you're you're trying to eat you desperately
(10:36):
want it to be, or in my sleep, I'm like
most good, get.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
One new towels.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I know that I just did this.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Actually, a couple of days ago, something in my TikTok algorithm,
I must have been complaining loudly about how much the
new Apple operating system sucks.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I've said it ten times in front of me.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
PSA to everyone, if you have an updated to twenty six,
don't do it. It's awful. It's terrible. Everything about it sucks.
But in that I started getting a lot of videos
about like, hey, if you updated already, here's everything you
need to turn off that it like probably made you
do that it turned on. So here's all the services
(11:18):
you need to turn off, either things that are going
to drain your battery or like things that it's following now,
or like the location services, training things.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Turn it off.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
But then I started getting.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Stuff for Gmail too, because I have a Gmail account,
and I found something on Gmail where it's like, hey,
if you don't know this, this setting is on in
your Gmail account. If you have one, you have already
agreed to allow Gmail to scan all of your emails
for all of its content to be training AI, So
(11:49):
none of your emails are private anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So you need to go through your settings.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And there's one little thing you're already opted into. You
need to click it off to tell you're not allowed
to use my emails to train your AI.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, was the same thing with Instagram. In Facebook, you
have to go in and mainly uncheck that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And now, but I didn't realize that.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
So now I'm like in this algorithm where I'm just
constantly like now I'm my own tech expert, and I'm
just going and clicking off all of these things that
I didn't realize I was opted into.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, I've told you my big uh not concern so much.
But I wonder is if it has completely made people
who do therapy vulnerable if you are in even if
you go to see a therapist, oh, your phone is
on or their phone is on, or there's an Alexa
in the room or something like that. Has has there
(12:43):
been millions of hours of people talking about their most
intimate problems being recorded and somehow thrown into some big
digital identity vat for you.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Low self esteem. You've got the cure. Oh, but I
don't know, like.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Or does it get to the point where like they
can sell your Like Google one day just becomes like
you know, a blackmailer, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And they're like, we're.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Gonna tell your boss what you did unless you purchase
this new operating system.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
We know what happened at the Christmas party. Yeah, you've
got it. We've got a quick solution. We'll get rid
of it. All you have to do is buy these
bath towels.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Purchase and it's a clean slate Google Turkish beth towels.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
I wonder at some point we won't be able to
be blackmailed because everybody will have so much dirty laundry.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
The funniest is now I've told you before, like I'm
not like Internet porn to me, I think is like
the biggest trap in the world, Like it messes with
your brain, and it's just like that is.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Where they are.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, but I will get the spam emails like every
once in a while while from people saying like we have
recovered every Internet website you have ever gone to you sick.
It's a rough list, And I'm like well, I know
there's nothing, you know what I mean like, and they
get funnier and funnier. They're like, boy, you are one
(14:19):
ballsy cs or aren't you? Yeah, thinking that we won't
use this information against you, Oh boy, the rocks on you.
Be prepared. Your family and friends will know we have
video of you being a sick, sick bastard. And I
think the scattershot of that is there's enough people who
(14:41):
are sick, sick bastards.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And they're like, fine, here's four hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, don't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Don't release the video of me wearing my sister's dress
doing the limbata.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
All right.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
A couple others that made the list of YouTube kids
got banned.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh no, then they blame it on Trump because you
know when TikTok got banned. So parents will just tell
their kids.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
They'll be like, yeah, trump band YouTube kids, Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So sorry, why are they going to make it about Trump?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Sleepy Joe money.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Don't it exactly? I like this one. They don't make
batteries for that toy anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
That's awesome, that's a good one. Let's like Gardal always
said his dad would always go they're closed that's just
a full proof one too. I want to go to
they're closed. They don't make batteries for that.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
No, sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Battery stores closed.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
A little blue light on your forehead glows when you
lie m and only I can see it, and only
I can see it.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I am omnipotent, I am I am your parent. I
am the Alpha and the omega.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, just make your kid afraid, you know, yeah, exactly.
That is hilarious. Make your kid think that you are
like a god. I show you everything.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Did your parents know when you were lying? No, when
you were little?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No, but I knew when they were Yeah, there was
no blue light.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, there was no blue light. It was pretty easy
to tell.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
These are adult snacks and drinks and you can't have
That's just a fact.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, sometimes it is true.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
There's been a lot of times, a couple of holiday
parties that I've been at recently.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
That d is like, Oh that looks good.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm like, this is a mommy drink?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, but I mean it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I think this is more of like saying like, you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Won't like that.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I it's candy, Yeah you do. You're not gonna like this?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Are there is there any harm to parental white lives.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, I think, like Dad said, I mean, there needs
to be a fine line so that you're not trying
to you're not making your kid think that you have
this sort of you know, deity like quality.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
When I grow up, Well, I be a god too. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Maybe, Well, if you're listening to me and clean your room.
I just remember when you're here every other weekend, you
gotta do what I say.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's the people that are telling you, is for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You know the weekend Dad, the weekend Dad's America.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Even though there's different rules in this house and the
one of your mom's, remember mine have consequences. And you'll
never be a god like me if you don't just
sit there and watch TV for twelve hours while your
dad goes at the bar.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I'm gonna throw on true lies. You know how to
rewind it correct, I'll be back. I had quiet an
rated movie collection at my dad's house when I was
a young man.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Me too, and it was awesome, the same hbo Ie everything.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yes, I had so many video cassettes and you could
put three movies on the cassette. Yeah, And I mean
there was a time where, like my siblings, you could
have asked them a movie and they would have told
you the other two movies on that cassette.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Okay, because that's how ingrained. Yes, it's like Blues Brothers.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Oh that had Caddyshacking Animal House on it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I have the Needle.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh that had parallax view, and you know, it was like,
this is the drama one, this is a comedy one.
Like they very rarely mixed, and then they were like
there was some thought that went into them, and they
were the crappiest quality recording because when you made it
him a six hour extended play, the quality on the
replay wasn't that good?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Remember putting the tape on the tab to record it
over it again?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, uh, I will say my dad definitely recorded over
some movies he thought I grew out of with some
uh on demand selections.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh yeah, he made.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I'm like you know what, I'm thirteen, what haven't I
seen in a while? Homeward Bound? And then you're like, oh,
I'm gonna shut this up. I just I just put
this on in the living room in front of my
dad and grandmother.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yes, oh, dude, that's so awesome.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
That's a stag films.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
A stag film, that's Uncle Joe's.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
That's not mine.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You can do that, but you got to change the label. Yeah, yeah,
definitely not porn.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But yeah, the stuff that your kid definitely doesn't want
to watch or or maybe don't keep the porn in
the regular uh, you know, pile of video cassettes.
Speaker 4 (19:35):

Hey, it's Randy from the Sports su brought to you

Speaker 9 (20:40):
Some more bad news for the Lion's secondary in advance
of Detroit hosting the Steelers on Sunday. Safety Eric Hallett,
who started this past Sunday against the Rams as a
practice squad call up because Detroit has so many injuries
in the secondary, has been claimed by the Tennessee Titans,
so he is now on the Titans active raw sturn.
(21:00):
The lines will have to find another fill in starter
at Lofty. Also, cornerback a Meek Robertson left the Rams
game with the hand injury didn't return. Head coach Dan
Campbell telling reporters in Detroit yesterday's hopeful Robertson will be
able to play. He has been struggling. Cornerback DJ Reid
(21:21):
has been struggling. The Lions have three big timers unavailable.
Safety Brian Branch is on the reserve injured list, Cornerback
Terry and Arnold is also on ir and safety Kirby Joseph.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
They're starters.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
The guy's lines were counting on and they're not there.
And that's why Detroit is just hemorrhaging yards all of
a sudden. Also, tight end Sam Laporta is on ir
Maybe the Steelers kN hang forty on these.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, I was gonna say as much as I was like, well,
I want to see us run the ball here and
control the clock. Maybe this is a shootout in Motor
City here.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Maybe split the difference. I don't know, Tad.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
You were asking today how how the Lions lost so
many games? They lost their opener at Green Bay, Okay
Division game, good team, right, stuff happens? Won the next
four in a row, lost that Kansas City Chiefs, pretty good,
pretty hard to beat.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
There. The one that doesn't add up.
Speaker 9 (22:20):
November the second, the Lions lost at home to Minnesota
and JJ McCarthy twenty seven to twenty four.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
That's bad. It looks bad.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
And then the injuries started piling up. They lost that Philly,
they lost to Green Bay again, and they lost to
the Rams this past week forty one to thirty four.
Played a pretty good game except for the third quarter,
in which the Lions were out scored seventeen to nothing
and didn't register a first out. That'll do it, and
that turned that game.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
We shall see.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
They're they have an armado on offense and also don't
turn the ball over, which is not a good sign
because the Steelers kind.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Of thrive on that. Yeah, maybe they can turn them over.
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Didn't look good when the schedule came out. It doesn't
look great now. But if you got Anion Rodgers, you
got a shot. Maybe does Lazardi ever come into the equation?
Will he fall far enough on the way?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I mean, we got to beat the bottom of the
waiver wire, right, didn't We've been churning it.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We just used someone right where the eight and six
teams are.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I mean, I thought if you used one like you
dropped to the if you claim somebody off waivers, you'd drop.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh do you that would? I'm unaware of that.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Uh. I thought that's how it worked. But that might
just be in my Fantasy Football League circle two thousand
and nine.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with that hitting cansole in the
favorite college house.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh yes it is. It is an important console though.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Line's offenses now they they play caller for the first
uh ten games was John Moore. Their new offensive coordinator,
Dan Campbell, has taken it over for the last six
and they've been way more explosive. Jamison Williams they remembered
he's on their team and all of a sudden and
he's catching the deep ball again. But for the season,
(24:02):
even with the relatively slow start, Detroit is first in
points per game thirty point six, second in yards per
play six point two, first and fewest giveaways eight, second
in red zone sixty seven point three percent, and second
in offensive touchdowns fifty one. But as the injuries of
(24:26):
Mountain and the secondary, the lines are having a hard
time stopping anybody.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They've had some pretty bad luck, no doubt about it.
And it's rolled over from last year. Like last year
there were a ton of injuries.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, graphics at the ready for the broadcasters to underscore
how roughish shape they were in.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
I mean yards against the last four games five to
nineteen to the Rams, four seventeen to Dallas, three point
fifty nine to Green Bay, five seventeen to the New
York Football Giants.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yards allowed.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
Forty one points, thirty points, thirty one points, twenty seven points.
Not a good defense, but the offense can rattle at home.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
All right.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I was considering going to Detroit for this game because
I thought it would be fun. But I don't want
to go get boat raced and be four and a
half hours from home, although I'll be full of chili
dogs and beer at that point, so who would really care.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, Mike's talked you out of it a little bit,
A little bit. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I was gone.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I at six am. Yeah, I might go. I might go.
I'm like, dude, Oh, I would definitely go. Hey, what
do I know? I mean, nobody really knows what's going
to happen? Is going to happen?
Speaker 9 (25:39):
I mean, this looks like a really challenging matchup for
Steelers defense that is statistically very poor against the pass
and might be down TJ Watt again, Are you suggesting.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
That it was more about Tua throwing the ball on
Monday night than our past defense that limited them through
the air?
Speaker 9 (25:57):
I think having the guy who never won a game
when it's colder than forty degrees I have to play
when it's eight degrees on the road was a factor.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Yeah, what if sam Alu can't go? Is it Anderson
or is he too valuable in the jumbo package, and
it has to be somebody.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Now.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
They put Anderson in against Miami, and then they went
when they wanted to go jumbo package, they put Ryan
McCollum in. But then you have to take Anderson out
for a play and then put them back in. Yeah,
because you can't just They tried that with Anders Pete
in the Chargers game, and they did that a handful
of times.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
And that's when it gets wonky, when you start messing
with the rhythm like that and switching off the guys.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
I wouldn't think they'd do it again, but they did
it again against Miami. Now that game was in the bag,
and I think they wanted that jump up package because
they wanted to get Johnny Smith in the end zone
just to kind of stick it to Miami, which they did.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I like how you did the hand motion with the
stickt Yeah, yeah, all the way up. This is how stick.
This is in the direction of the sticking a little
bit of an angle.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
That's funny because they ran they ran Ramsey on a
safety blitz and he got a sack.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We had not seen that. In no.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Universe should that have been a sack other than the
Miami Dolphins because he held.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
God. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
But somebody called David said, were they doing that stuff
just so those guys could stick it to their old team?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And I said maybe, charge Bat said absolutely.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
There was some dude on Twitter being like, we saw
why the Dolphins fleeced the Steelers with that trade this year.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I'm like, how do you?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
How is that your take after the game that John
who scores out of the backfield and Ramsey has a
sack and make it got and make it, make it
got embarrassed.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
I haven't seen Mica look that bad since last January
against Derrick Henry.
Speaker 2 (27:51):

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Schiliers want to two point five dve. Our next guest
brought to you by CALLOUSI, serving the Pittsburgh area for
over one hundred and seven years from our brothers Station
one A five nine exam Mark Madden, Good morning, Mark, How.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Are you hello again? Everybody?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well, you want to start with the Penguins here. They're
kind of in an interesting situation. I was hoping that
Sid would be able to time Mario with the big
guy in attendance, but that didn't happen. Will Mario just
follow him around waiting for the record to fall?
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I don't think so. I don't know that it won't
go Ottawa. I mean, come on, maybe maybe back COVID Montreal,
but I don't see it. I don't know. Maybe, but
the honest answers, I don't know. It would have been
nice to see him breck at home, but most would
have thought hollow if he had done it during a
loss like last night, which was not as close as
(29:20):
the six to four school. I thought they were just
overwhelmed by Edmonton.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Still at skating, Yeah, but for what it's worth, it
it sounds like your phone is a little muffled if
you can possibly, Uh, hold.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
On, I just got my car inspected. I'm sitting in
a in a my car in a garage. I'm doing
the best near a garage. I'm doing the best I can.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Now it's better a little bit. Yeah, now it's better.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Okay, good, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
So what I mean this is a little more of
the Penguin's like output I was expecting this year. Uh
did we just get kind of fooled and where our
expectations kind of pulled too far ahead of where they
should have been with this team, And that why it
feels like a disappointment right now.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Well, what worries me is and I'm not disappointed. I expected,
you know, a streak like this. I mean, not to
the extent of the choke jobs they pulled, because that's
just bizarre. But I expected a bad streak. I didn't
expect it to make the playoffs. I think that that
the club is too caught up in believing they can
scratch their way to a wild card, which would mean
(30:22):
nothing in the grand scheme. They need to develop, and
they're doing some stuff I don't at all, like, for example,
Ben Kendall's off the top power play. Ben Kendall's their
top power play guy. I don't know how he acquired
the instincts he has with the man advantaged at eight team,
but he's got him and but they're reallyland veterans. It's
like that got inherited from Sullivan. Why in the freak
(30:42):
is Anthony mantaat there on the power play instead of
Ben Kendall and the answers going to be well, he's
a left shot. He goes to the front of the net,
except as a bad left shot and doesn't really go
to the front of the net in their alignment. He's
playing with the Chino spot, which is hardly in that
front presence. Like in The Lost of San Jose, Kevin
(31:02):
Hayes's line is out there trying to hold the lead
at the end and couldn't against Celebrany and Smith, the
two hot shot young kids from San Jose. If their
young kids can be out there to the side games,
why can't Haners. I just don't get the direction this
is headed. In the pursuit of an eighth seed that'll
get them nowhere. You're supposed to be trying to build
(31:23):
to a championship level team in years to come, and
I think they deviated from that and they need to
get back to it now. I will say, if you
think you can make the playoffs, not call him Morrison,
because he's clearly your best goalie. If the plan developmentally
is leave him down there, that's okay. But if you're
stuck by making the playoffs, he's the best goalie period.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Did the Steelers win do anything Monday night to make
you think they are a little bit more in the
direction of being legitimate.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
No, they're nowhere near legitimate. But I have a solution
to that. Randall if people want me to bind to
the optimism, he's pervading, like like Rogers saying, you know,
I think the belief is starting to build. I think
he's mostly kind to talk himself into that. But if
they want the optimism to legitimately rise, went out. That's
(32:15):
what contending teams do. They peak at the right time,
they built to something, went out. You know, de Twotilly
eight and six said, certainly be Cleveland, why can't you
be going to move at home? Went out going to
the playoffs with wins and none I believe, But again
it's scratching and clawing. It's probably reading to nothing and
I can't wait to see who their next grandpa quarterback
(32:35):
is next year in the hope of finally winning a
playoff game, maybe Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
The TJ.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Watt lung puncture situation seems very odd to me. I
know that there are all kinds of difference. To me,
well why not.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Because he's obviously going to sue the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know, well, how do you know why? How do
you know.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
That the carefully worded statement by j. J. Watts, which
was not a cuser towards just very very factual and
repeated by TJ's white but Instagram very uh, I don't
want to say legal leaves, but very carefully worded. The
Steelers are not carmen at all on on how it happened,
(33:19):
except to say he's not available to play. It just
seems to be head in that direction. And Tyrod Taylor,
who had something very similar happened the LA Chargers. I
think that Kate is still pending so well.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
That was a different situation though, because that was a
painshot administered from a team doctor and we don't know
who was doing the acupuncture procedure that I mean they
could have been No, I don't. I don't know, do
you is the team acupuncturist in the ear end picture
with the team?
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Yeah's going to sue the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I think the big question is I mean he might
have brought that acupuncturist.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
In, is my point.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
He might have brought the acupuncturist in. I mean he
might have. You know, they have done that in the
past with massage therapists I know who weren't employed by
the team but then came in because they specialized in
some you know, reichi or whatever the hell you know
some of that. Okay, Well that's why I didn't know
if you had sometimes you have inside information on this stuff,
(34:22):
and I didn't know if that was sometimes I do Okay, Uh.
I was just wondering, just wondering over are you ready
for Christmas?
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Mark? Nah? I mean I've never been really ready for Christmas.
I I mean this could have son really gloom and Bloom,
which is my mother passed. I haven't exchanged gifts with anybody.
I make that very clear. I have no desire to
do that. Some people have given me gifts, which is
very nice poteat getting reciprocated. No, my favorite Christmas ritol
(34:50):
is I love the Double Tree cookies. And I'm doing
a wake to one eighty now, but I got that
can of Double Tree cookies. Yeah, I'm taking a few
days off awake for one eighty Christmas. I'll be plunging
in those are awes.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, Double Tree Dawn are good, buddy. He brings us
the cookies. Oh no, okay, did you go to Did
you go to a high school with Double Tree Donna
as well?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
You know? Yes, I think so, but I'm thought and
I went class of seventy eight extail.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Okay, Well, he brings these cookies, the ones they give
you when you check into the Double Tree, and they
usually heat them up and you get to take them
in your room. It's like a hot chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
He gives us.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Those, and they are the best damn cookies I think
I've ever had.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
They are the best cookies anywhere, any time, from anybody.
If that's an exaggeration, that's not a big one, is it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Uh No, They're pretty damn good.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Well, you've got eight days till Christmas. Do you have
a tree up at home or no?
Speaker 7 (35:42):
I have like a three four full minutes wire Christmas
trees that bring it every year.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, what is your favorite Christmas that.
Speaker 7 (35:50):
They spect that they expect to My mother laven with me,
That's what That's how we had our Christmas and know
a chief was removed with me.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Well that's nice. That's a nice tribute. So what is
your go to christ Miss movie?
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, it is does get you ready for the season,
there's no question.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
I don't. I mean, I don't watch a good Christmas movie.
I think they're all really cruchede. I think that Christmas
Vacation is is pretty funny. Christmas Vacation is very funny.
Which one Wonderful Life is just the classic.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, I was just gonna say It's a Wonderful Life
is objectively a great movie, like Holiday Nonwithstanding, it is
you know, perfectly written, acted, directed, et cetera. And it
was not a huge hit at the time. It became
a classic later, but it is. I could watch it
any time of year. I think it's absolutely hilarious. But
(36:45):
there's a lot of movies in that ilk that that
I find. I think Miracle on thirty fourth Street is
actually also hilarious, full of hilarious characters.
Speaker 7 (36:53):
Yeah, No, that's what's the one one that kid gets
shot the eye Christmas story that's awful, that should never
be shown again.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Cross it's just disagree.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I mean that is Geene Shepherd Radio Titan, Geene Shepherd
his screen screenpeace speaking of slap shot. Melinda Dillon, of
course is in Christmas. That's right, the mom in Christmas stories.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
Shot in a Christmas story with another no good runaway
hockey wife jumping with a hockey player.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, and those hockey wags you got to look out. Uh, Mark,
this is the last time we'll talk before the new year,
and I'm just wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons,
and I hope you have a merry Christmas, and uh
you know, and.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
I will spend the holidays watching a lot of.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Me too, absolutely heartbroken over that. The thing I hate
about it, well, there's so much that's just terrible about it,
but the idea that his legacy now will be attached
to that like it took me a long time to
see Phil Hartman without thinking about the tragic circumstances of
his death, and I kind of feel like that about
Rob Reiner now and it kind of steals that away.
(38:16):
The enjoyment of those movies is always going to have
that specter around it for me, at least for a
little while.
Speaker 7 (38:21):
For me, I mean was terrible. The aftermath of what
was said was even worse. And I've gone on and
on about that, maybe to my maybe, to my maybe
not to my good but I don't care, because things
have to be said. I mean, I mean, Ryner is
a better person than a piece of crap in the
White House could ever dream of being on his I.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Got to be honest with you, I mean, it shocks
me that you have taken this tact.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Why well, it just did not seem like.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
The playing field that you wanted to enter into.
Speaker 7 (38:54):
No, no, it's not a playing field I want to
enter into. And I am more rights than left. But
enough to enough, enough is just freaking enough. Y mean,
my god, act presidential for one second, have a shred
of decency for one second, and it's really revealed a
lot about a lot of people out there, and they
fell f themselves too. Well. Let me, I get told
(39:15):
all the time and now I'm going too far. But
I got told on Twitter. You have no idea how
many Trump supporters listen to your show, don't have to listen.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Well, I've already gone down this path many times since
twenty sixteen.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Oh no, I know you have it. I used to
think you were done for doing it, but now I
get it.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Uh well, uh yeah, and now I'm I'm kind of
at the point where I just want to give people
an opportunity to experience something else, because you get that
everywhere else.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
That's true, and that's why I'm gonna see some desist
with this after what I time to do it today
and obviously on the show, and that's done a very
good job. But I'm gonna be on it some sixty
before where I can retire with happens for here, it
doesn't really matter that much.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Well, let's go off on a good note. What's your
favorite Rob Runner movie?
Speaker 7 (39:57):
Well, obviously Spinal Path, But you know I hadn't Rob
on my show about two or three years ago, which
was tremendous.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (40:06):
I honestly forget what movie because I made a deal
with him. I got on before we talked and I said, hey,
can we talk about actually my producer it Tom. If
we talk about the movie, can we also talk about
it all in the family spinal Tap, and he graciously agreed,
and that was a really big thrill for me. But
but yeah, you know, I'm not just you know martyring
Law because of what happened. I was a huge fan
(40:28):
of his. I mean, as long as I can remember
there being a Rob Reiner and and I mean I
think spinal Taps his best work because the originality of
it at the time, and the way it so cleverly
poked fun at a genre a heavy metal that I
love and I still got it and dug it and
loved it. I think stand By Me is the quint
essential coming of age movie. And of course, as he
(40:51):
as he said many times, he said on my show
when I passed away, the headline's going to be meet
head guys, and we'll never forget that character. I just
you watch the last scene, well, I mean.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Oh, the goodbye between him and Archie. It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (41:06):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. It just may me cry, maybe
cry then maybe cry now.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Well, Mark, have a great holiday, buddy, and wishing you
the best heading into twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7 (41:17):
And y'all that merried Christmas.
Speaker 1 (41:18):

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by your neighborhood Ford Store at Steelers Pro Shop.
Get it direct from the team at shop dot Steelers
dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.
Speaker 11 (42:39):
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.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
For the Dolphins, it was a bit of.
Speaker 11 (43:01):
A slow start to the game, with the first score
not coming until twenty four minutes into the game, a
Dolphins Seld goal breaking the ice. But then Pittsburgh erupted
for twenty eight unanswered points as they bruise 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 no doubt, helped the Steelers
(43:23):
get the victory. 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 and two rushing touchdowns. 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 (43:43):
But don't let that fool you. Detroit's much better than
their record. Let's on.
Speaker 11 (43:46):
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 (43:53):
I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
How you doing? All right? Merry Christmas?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
He's like, then he just goes back to his house

Speaker 4 (00:32):
M m yeah, they're they're dry curied once you go ahead,
get in there again. Yeah, have some money, Mustard.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
It's good, isn't it? I'm sorry? Yeah? Yeah, good? Another good.
He's like Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Brandy Bellman and the DV morning show.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Tad Whistles with us. Yeah, there's always a guy sitting
in the room where the food is at one of
those holiday parties and he's just watching you eat. It's
the weirdo with this Christmas sweater. And then he goes
back into his home for a year. Ye, we have
to get Uncle Bernard back out. It's Christmas.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I brought a beef log.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Abby's here, what's your beef.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
What's your beefs do.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
News?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
This hours brought to my mother call side Claude with
a high forty six today. Okay, so we have a
beam delivery today. Major Pittsburgh Highway is expected to face
some temporary closures and.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
This is different hours.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's an ongoing bridge project.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Ben Dott is advising motorists that the deliveries for the
Commercial Street bridge replacement is going to occur today. So
that's expected to start anywhere between ten am through two pm.
So for deliveries to occur, large trucks have to travel
on southbound I seventy nine, inbound on the Parkway West,
and inbound on the Parkway West to the Plaza outside
(02:12):
of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. Westbound traffic will experience intermittent
traffic stoppages as long as fifteen minutes near the tunnel
entrance to permit the trucks to cross lanes into the
work area. This is something that we've seen before. Those
beam deliveries like keep happening on and off here and
it's going to be a long project. So people have
probably seen this fish before, but I'm letting you know
(02:35):
it's happening starting at ten am.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I tried to do it with grub hub and they
totally turn it down. Cars. I'm glad to know what
bridge it's going to.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It makes you feel like progress.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
A little bit at a time.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, I'm gonna take a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So our bridges won't all just start falling out of
the sky again. That's a good good to know.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
All right.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I missed this on the Pittsburgh scanner and I did.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That was like when that bridge fell over in what
you might call it the Fern Hollow. Yeah, that was
like a Pittsburgh punchline for a long time. That was
very close to being one of the biggest tragedies in
the country's history.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It fell at five am, and had it fallen almost
any other time, yeah, it would have been disastrous.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yes, how about five pm?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Right, And because it wasn't, we're.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Like, oh, whoa got away with one there?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
We should make T shirts. Let's make T shirts about this?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Can you believeman war shorts?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah? It was cold, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But a couple hours later it's like that Bill Burr
a bit about like driving down the road and seeing
a crowd of people, like moving your hand one inch
that way, you know, just mowing down a group of
mowing down a group of people, and like everything's fine.
You're going about what of that tragedies one that way?
(04:05):
Nothing like the Call of the Void. It's the call
of the void. Yeah, there's a name for it. Oh
it's a French concle had it. I can't remember. No, yeah, no,
he doesn't actually and he's not like he.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Has a call.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
He's not afflicted by it. He just he knew the word.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Anyways, go ahead, Okay, Well I missed this one on
the Pittsburgh Scanner. This happened on December the tenth, and
it brings back an old fave in the south Side
Burger King. Apparently, on December the tenth, south Side Burger
King got a call from police reporting that somebody ordered
a bunch of cheeseburgers and then started throwing them at
(04:41):
other customers. That apparently was the third burger King incident
that the scanner account posted in the past two years,
following an irate customer and a female inside that was
causing a scene. But the south Side Burger King is
still kicking, and I actually thought it got shut down
like one thousand percent.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's a real burger king. Again, it's back. I think so,
because that was I mean, that is the kind of
thing that you expect. If I went in there and
didn't see someone flinging hamburgers around, I would I'd feel disappointed,
like I didn't get my money's worth.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I came here for a show.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Because it's the South Side burger king, and if you
just have a normal burger kating experience, it would probably
be a letdown.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
What we're here for.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, Okay, one time when, like when we were younger,
and my brother and I were in a band together,
and we played at this venue that was adjacent to
a McDonald's. Like when you looked out of from the stage,
there's a window and then the drive through you can
see the drive through was that clular.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, this is up and eerie.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And he got a wireless thing on his guitar and
then went out of the bar, still playing, and had
our friend take him through the drive through and he
got a bunch of burgers and then he came back
into the bar on that guy's shoulders, and and the
guy was flinging cheeseburgers and he was doing like the
buddy guy thing, like playing up, you know, and They're
(06:00):
just flinging burgers all over the bar. And it was
like one of the funniest things ever because you'd see
like some people eating burgers and other ones were just
smashed onto the ground, you know, and I thought, like,
how many people picked them off of the ground and
started eating them?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Five second rule?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Dude, free burger. Yeah it was a McDonald's cheeseburger being
flung around, no problem. Yeah, but that was the only
time I've seen fast food burgers being flung everywhere. My
brother just this dude just throwing them all over the bar.
And how long did it take? One o'clock in the morning.
It was fairly quick. It was fairly quick. Yeah, No,
(06:37):
And that was what was hilarious about is like, you know,
he's losing touch, and you could tell he's like, all right,
he's lost the time. He doesn't know what he's doing,
and everyone's like, what is happening. It was like objectively bad,
you know. Uh, And but when he came back in
with the burgers, it redeemed it.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, good bit.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Your musically not grant hilarious.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
All right, tis the season.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
We were not going to talk about the big ee here,
but we're going to go over a few amusing examples
of white lies the parents tell to get through everything
with parenting, and maybe some thoughts as well from the
experts as whether these are tales that are harmless as
we think they are.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So I'll give you an example.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Sometimes parents will tell kids, we have to sacrifice our
Halloween candy to the Great Pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Okay, I mean you know this is to me Easter
Bunny territory.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
It is, you know, uh, that way you you kind
of get away with, like not having to keep all
of the Halloween candy that the kids bring home.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I think a lot of people that work here just
steal it from their kids and they bring it in
and dump it in the DJ cafe.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Very smart. Yeah, smart move.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
They're like, just get this out of my house, and
then all the degenerate DJs go in there and gobble
it up like chuds.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Yeah, the Great Pumpkin model.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Though, I think you tell.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The candy human underground dwellers to pagan, it's just for
the Great Pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Kids.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I think you tell the kid they can only keep, like,
however many pieces of candy as they are in age,
like you're eight years old, you get to keep eight
Pieces of candy.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And Bernie Sanders wins, this is what happens to your
candy's fortal.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I like this one. Siri is on vacation. Say that again,
Siri is on vacation.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh okay, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I like that one too.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
So that way, you know, she just decides not to
respond for a while and you get your life back.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I guess for a while. But I guess that's for
little kids. They use Siri too.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Is that I would imagine that this is Alexa Siri
any one of those?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Hey, Google, are you on vacation? I'm a little disturbed
to know that it's that. Yeah, we have to make
up lies about serious whereabouts for kids.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, there's no Siri in my house. There's no there's
no talking robots in the house.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
That's good. It's still listening to you. Your phone and
your computer are listening to you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
What were you guys bringing up, because it started to
haunt me.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You both brought this up, something about closing apps when
you're not using What was was there like an article?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Was there like? Or was this just something.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That was I think it's like common knowledge.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
What is it though?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
That if you don't like close out of your social
media apps, in particular that it follows you with more
precision than cookies allow it to. I'm telling you, man,
I had this weird thing happened last week. I was like,
I need to get new bath towels, like my bath powel.
(09:40):
I just feel like I grew up using those holiday
in bath towels that were worn, like they had holes
in them and stuff. And one of the few luxuries
that I'd like to afford myself at this point in
my life is getting nice towels. And the batch I
have right now are kind of getting worn down and
they're just like stiff and whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
It's like they're time. It's time for them to become
dog towels or car towels or something, you know. And
I literally only thought it. I never said it out loud,
I never mentioned it, I never said the word and
towel stuff started showing up in my timeline.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
That's no good, and I.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Don't like, there is no rational reason why that should happen.
I never said the word towel. I didn't click on anything.
I just thought it and it started showing up. Ooh,
it's really weird. I don't it has to be coincidental, right,
there's you hope you're you're trying to eat you desperately
(10:36):
want it to be, or in my sleep, I'm like
most good, get.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
One new towels.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I know that I just did this.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Actually, a couple of days ago, something in my TikTok algorithm,
I must have been complaining loudly about how much the
new Apple operating system sucks.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I've said it ten times in front of me.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
PSA to everyone, if you have an updated to twenty six,
don't do it. It's awful. It's terrible. Everything about it sucks.
But in that I started getting a lot of videos
about like, hey, if you updated already, here's everything you
need to turn off that it like probably made you
do that it turned on. So here's all the services
(11:18):
you need to turn off, either things that are going
to drain your battery or like things that it's following now,
or like the location services, training things.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Turn it off.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
But then I started getting.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Stuff for Gmail too, because I have a Gmail account,
and I found something on Gmail where it's like, hey,
if you don't know this, this setting is on in
your Gmail account. If you have one, you have already
agreed to allow Gmail to scan all of your emails
for all of its content to be training AI, So
(11:49):
none of your emails are private anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So you need to go through your settings.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And there's one little thing you're already opted into. You
need to click it off to tell you're not allowed
to use my emails to train your AI.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, was the same thing with Instagram. In Facebook, you
have to go in and mainly uncheck that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And now, but I didn't realize that.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
So now I'm like in this algorithm where I'm just
constantly like now I'm my own tech expert, and I'm
just going and clicking off all of these things that
I didn't realize I was opted into.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, I've told you my big uh not concern so much.
But I wonder is if it has completely made people
who do therapy vulnerable if you are in even if
you go to see a therapist, oh, your phone is
on or their phone is on, or there's an Alexa
in the room or something like that. Has has there
(12:43):
been millions of hours of people talking about their most
intimate problems being recorded and somehow thrown into some big
digital identity vat for you.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Low self esteem. You've got the cure. Oh, but I
don't know, like.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Or does it get to the point where like they
can sell your Like Google one day just becomes like
you know, a blackmailer, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And they're like, we're.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Gonna tell your boss what you did unless you purchase
this new operating system.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
We know what happened at the Christmas party. Yeah, you've
got it. We've got a quick solution. We'll get rid
of it. All you have to do is buy these
bath towels.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Purchase and it's a clean slate Google Turkish beth towels.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
I wonder at some point we won't be able to
be blackmailed because everybody will have so much dirty laundry.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
The funniest is now I've told you before, like I'm
not like Internet porn to me, I think is like
the biggest trap in the world, Like it messes with
your brain, and it's just like that is.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Where they are.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, but I will get the spam emails like every
once in a while while from people saying like we have
recovered every Internet website you have ever gone to you sick.
It's a rough list, And I'm like well, I know
there's nothing, you know what I mean like, and they
get funnier and funnier. They're like, boy, you are one
(14:19):
ballsy cs or aren't you? Yeah, thinking that we won't
use this information against you, Oh boy, the rocks on you.
Be prepared. Your family and friends will know we have
video of you being a sick, sick bastard. And I
think the scattershot of that is there's enough people who
(14:41):
are sick, sick bastards.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And they're like, fine, here's four hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, don't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Don't release the video of me wearing my sister's dress
doing the limbata.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
All right.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
A couple others that made the list of YouTube kids
got banned.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh no, then they blame it on Trump because you
know when TikTok got banned. So parents will just tell
their kids.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
They'll be like, yeah, trump band YouTube kids, Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So sorry, why are they going to make it about Trump?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Sleepy Joe money.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Don't it exactly? I like this one. They don't make
batteries for that toy anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
That's awesome, that's a good one. Let's like Gardal always
said his dad would always go they're closed that's just
a full proof one too. I want to go to
they're closed. They don't make batteries for that.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
No, sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Battery stores closed.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
A little blue light on your forehead glows when you
lie m and only I can see it, and only
I can see it.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I am omnipotent, I am I am your parent. I
am the Alpha and the omega.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, just make your kid afraid, you know, yeah, exactly.
That is hilarious. Make your kid think that you are
like a god. I show you everything.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Did your parents know when you were lying? No, when
you were little?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
No, but I knew when they were Yeah, there was
no blue light.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, there was no blue light. It was pretty easy
to tell.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
These are adult snacks and drinks and you can't have
That's just a fact.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, sometimes it is true.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
There's been a lot of times, a couple of holiday
parties that I've been at recently.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
That d is like, Oh that looks good.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm like, this is a mommy drink?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, but I mean it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I think this is more of like saying like, you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Won't like that.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I it's candy, Yeah you do. You're not gonna like this?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Are there is there any harm to parental white lives.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, I think, like Dad said, I mean, there needs
to be a fine line so that you're not trying
to you're not making your kid think that you have
this sort of you know, deity like quality.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
When I grow up, Well, I be a god too. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Maybe, Well, if you're listening to me and clean your room.
I just remember when you're here every other weekend, you
gotta do what I say.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's the people that are telling you, is for sure.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You know the weekend Dad, the weekend Dad's America.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Even though there's different rules in this house and the
one of your mom's, remember mine have consequences. And you'll
never be a god like me if you don't just
sit there and watch TV for twelve hours while your
dad goes at the bar.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I'm gonna throw on true lies. You know how to
rewind it correct, I'll be back. I had quiet an
rated movie collection at my dad's house when I was
a young man.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Me too, and it was awesome, the same hbo Ie everything.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yes, I had so many video cassettes and you could
put three movies on the cassette. Yeah, And I mean
there was a time where, like my siblings, you could
have asked them a movie and they would have told
you the other two movies on that cassette.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Okay, because that's how ingrained. Yes, it's like Blues Brothers.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Oh that had Caddyshacking Animal House on it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I have the Needle.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh that had parallax view, and you know, it was like,
this is the drama one, this is a comedy one.
Like they very rarely mixed, and then they were like
there was some thought that went into them, and they
were the crappiest quality recording because when you made it
him a six hour extended play, the quality on the
replay wasn't that good?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Remember putting the tape on the tab to record it
over it again?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, uh, I will say my dad definitely recorded over
some movies he thought I grew out of with some
uh on demand selections.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh yeah, he made.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I'm like you know what, I'm thirteen, what haven't I
seen in a while? Homeward Bound? And then you're like, oh,
I'm gonna shut this up. I just I just put
this on in the living room in front of my
dad and grandmother.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yes, oh, dude, that's so awesome.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
That's a stag films.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
A stag film, that's Uncle Joe's.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
That's not mine.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You can do that, but you got to change the label. Yeah, yeah,
definitely not porn.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But yeah, the stuff that your kid definitely doesn't want
to watch or or maybe don't keep the porn in
the regular uh, you know, pile of video cassettes.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
The brave little toaster. He's not He's not going back
to this. Well, watch this has outgrown this.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Hey, it's Randy from the Sports su brought to you
by Bridge Will Fly It.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
Some more bad news for the Lion's secondary in advance
of Detroit hosting the Steelers on Sunday. Safety Eric Hallett,
who started this past Sunday against the Rams as a
practice squad call up because Detroit has so many injuries
in the secondary, has been claimed by the Tennessee Titans,
so he is now on the Titans active raw sturn.
(21:00):
The lines will have to find another fill in starter
at Lofty. Also, cornerback a Meek Robertson left the Rams
game with the hand injury didn't return. Head coach Dan
Campbell telling reporters in Detroit yesterday's hopeful Robertson will be
able to play. He has been struggling. Cornerback DJ Reid
(21:21):
has been struggling. The Lions have three big timers unavailable.
Safety Brian Branch is on the reserve injured list, Cornerback
Terry and Arnold is also on ir and safety Kirby Joseph.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
They're starters.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
The guy's lines were counting on and they're not there.
And that's why Detroit is just hemorrhaging yards all of
a sudden. Also, tight end Sam Laporta is on ir
Maybe the Steelers kN hang forty on these.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, I was gonna say as much as I was like, well,
I want to see us run the ball here and
control the clock. Maybe this is a shootout in Motor
City here.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Maybe split the difference. I don't know, Tad.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
You were asking today how how the Lions lost so
many games? They lost their opener at Green Bay, Okay
Division game, good team, right, stuff happens? Won the next
four in a row, lost that Kansas City Chiefs, pretty good,
pretty hard to beat.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
There. The one that doesn't add up.
Speaker 9 (22:20):
November the second, the Lions lost at home to Minnesota
and JJ McCarthy twenty seven to twenty four.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
That's bad. It looks bad.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
And then the injuries started piling up. They lost that Philly,
they lost to Green Bay again, and they lost to
the Rams this past week forty one to thirty four.
Played a pretty good game except for the third quarter,
in which the Lions were out scored seventeen to nothing
and didn't register a first out. That'll do it, and
that turned that game.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
We shall see.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
They're they have an armado on offense and also don't
turn the ball over, which is not a good sign
because the Steelers kind.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Of thrive on that. Yeah, maybe they can turn them over.
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Didn't look good when the schedule came out. It doesn't
look great now. But if you got Anion Rodgers, you
got a shot. Maybe does Lazardi ever come into the equation?
Will he fall far enough on the way?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I mean, we got to beat the bottom of the
waiver wire, right, didn't We've been churning it.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We just used someone right where the eight and six
teams are.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I mean, I thought if you used one like you
dropped to the if you claim somebody off waivers, you'd drop.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Oh do you that would? I'm unaware of that.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Uh. I thought that's how it worked. But that might
just be in my Fantasy Football League circle two thousand
and nine.
Speaker 9 (23:35):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with that hitting cansole in the
favorite college house.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh yes it is. It is an important console though.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Line's offenses now they they play caller for the first
uh ten games was John Moore. Their new offensive coordinator,
Dan Campbell, has taken it over for the last six
and they've been way more explosive. Jamison Williams they remembered
he's on their team and all of a sudden and
he's catching the deep ball again. But for the season,
(24:02):
even with the relatively slow start, Detroit is first in
points per game thirty point six, second in yards per
play six point two, first and fewest giveaways eight, second
in red zone sixty seven point three percent, and second
in offensive touchdowns fifty one. But as the injuries of
(24:26):
Mountain and the secondary, the lines are having a hard
time stopping anybody.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They've had some pretty bad luck, no doubt about it.
And it's rolled over from last year. Like last year
there were a ton of injuries.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, graphics at the ready for the broadcasters to underscore
how roughish shape they were in.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
I mean yards against the last four games five to
nineteen to the Rams, four seventeen to Dallas, three point
fifty nine to Green Bay, five seventeen to the New
York Football Giants.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yards allowed.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
Forty one points, thirty points, thirty one points, twenty seven points.
Not a good defense, but the offense can rattle at home.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
All right.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I was considering going to Detroit for this game because
I thought it would be fun. But I don't want
to go get boat raced and be four and a
half hours from home, although I'll be full of chili
dogs and beer at that point, so who would really care.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, Mike's talked you out of it a little bit,
A little bit. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I was gone.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I at six am. Yeah, I might go. I might go.
I'm like, dude, Oh, I would definitely go. Hey, what
do I know? I mean, nobody really knows what's going
to happen? Is going to happen?
Speaker 9 (25:39):
I mean, this looks like a really challenging matchup for
Steelers defense that is statistically very poor against the pass
and might be down TJ Watt again, Are you suggesting.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
That it was more about Tua throwing the ball on
Monday night than our past defense that limited them through
the air?
Speaker 9 (25:57):
I think having the guy who never won a game
when it's colder than forty degrees I have to play
when it's eight degrees on the road was a factor.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Yeah, what if sam Alu can't go? Is it Anderson
or is he too valuable in the jumbo package, and
it has to be somebody.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
Now.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
They put Anderson in against Miami, and then they went
when they wanted to go jumbo package, they put Ryan
McCollum in. But then you have to take Anderson out
for a play and then put them back in. Yeah,
because you can't just They tried that with Anders Pete
in the Chargers game, and they did that a handful
of times.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
And that's when it gets wonky, when you start messing
with the rhythm like that and switching off the guys.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
I wouldn't think they'd do it again, but they did
it again against Miami. Now that game was in the bag,
and I think they wanted that jump up package because
they wanted to get Johnny Smith in the end zone
just to kind of stick it to Miami, which they did.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I like how you did the hand motion with the
stickt Yeah, yeah, all the way up. This is how stick.
This is in the direction of the sticking a little
bit of an angle.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
That's funny because they ran they ran Ramsey on a
safety blitz and he got a sack.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We had not seen that. In no.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Universe should that have been a sack other than the
Miami Dolphins because he held.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
God. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
But somebody called David said, were they doing that stuff
just so those guys could stick it to their old team?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And I said maybe, charge Bat said absolutely.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
There was some dude on Twitter being like, we saw
why the Dolphins fleeced the Steelers with that trade this year.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I'm like, how do you?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
How is that your take after the game that John
who scores out of the backfield and Ramsey has a
sack and make it got and make it, make it
got embarrassed.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
I haven't seen Mica look that bad since last January
against Derrick Henry.
Speaker 2 (27:51):

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Schiliers want to two point five dve. Our next guest
brought to you by CALLOUSI, serving the Pittsburgh area for
over one hundred and seven years from our brothers Station
one A five nine exam Mark Madden, Good morning, Mark, How.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Are you hello again? Everybody?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well, you want to start with the Penguins here. They're
kind of in an interesting situation. I was hoping that
Sid would be able to time Mario with the big
guy in attendance, but that didn't happen. Will Mario just
follow him around waiting for the record to fall?
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I don't think so. I don't know that it won't
go Ottawa. I mean, come on, maybe maybe back COVID Montreal,
but I don't see it. I don't know. Maybe, but
the honest answers, I don't know. It would have been
nice to see him breck at home, but most would
have thought hollow if he had done it during a
loss like last night, which was not as close as
(29:20):
the six to four school. I thought they were just
overwhelmed by Edmonton.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Still at skating, Yeah, but for what it's worth, it
it sounds like your phone is a little muffled if
you can possibly, Uh, hold.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
On, I just got my car inspected. I'm sitting in
a in a my car in a garage. I'm doing
the best near a garage. I'm doing the best I can.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Now it's better a little bit. Yeah, now it's better.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Okay, good, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
So what I mean this is a little more of
the Penguin's like output I was expecting this year. Uh
did we just get kind of fooled and where our
expectations kind of pulled too far ahead of where they
should have been with this team, And that why it
feels like a disappointment right now.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Well, what worries me is and I'm not disappointed. I expected,
you know, a streak like this. I mean, not to
the extent of the choke jobs they pulled, because that's
just bizarre. But I expected a bad streak. I didn't
expect it to make the playoffs. I think that that
the club is too caught up in believing they can
scratch their way to a wild card, which would mean
(30:22):
nothing in the grand scheme. They need to develop, and
they're doing some stuff I don't at all, like, for example,
Ben Kendall's off the top power play. Ben Kendall's their
top power play guy. I don't know how he acquired
the instincts he has with the man advantaged at eight team,
but he's got him and but they're reallyland veterans. It's
like that got inherited from Sullivan. Why in the freak
(30:42):
is Anthony mantaat there on the power play instead of
Ben Kendall and the answers going to be well, he's
a left shot. He goes to the front of the net,
except as a bad left shot and doesn't really go
to the front of the net in their alignment. He's
playing with the Chino spot, which is hardly in that
front presence. Like in The Lost of San Jose, Kevin
(31:02):
Hayes's line is out there trying to hold the lead
at the end and couldn't against Celebrany and Smith, the
two hot shot young kids from San Jose. If their
young kids can be out there to the side games,
why can't Haners. I just don't get the direction this
is headed. In the pursuit of an eighth seed that'll
get them nowhere. You're supposed to be trying to build
(31:23):
to a championship level team in years to come, and
I think they deviated from that and they need to
get back to it now. I will say, if you
think you can make the playoffs, not call him Morrison,
because he's clearly your best goalie. If the plan developmentally
is leave him down there, that's okay. But if you're
stuck by making the playoffs, he's the best goalie period.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Did the Steelers win do anything Monday night to make
you think they are a little bit more in the
direction of being legitimate.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
No, they're nowhere near legitimate. But I have a solution
to that. Randall if people want me to bind to
the optimism, he's pervading, like like Rogers saying, you know,
I think the belief is starting to build. I think
he's mostly kind to talk himself into that. But if
they want the optimism to legitimately rise, went out. That's
(32:15):
what contending teams do. They peak at the right time,
they built to something, went out. You know, de Twotilly
eight and six said, certainly be Cleveland, why can't you
be going to move at home? Went out going to
the playoffs with wins and none I believe, But again
it's scratching and clawing. It's probably reading to nothing and
I can't wait to see who their next grandpa quarterback
(32:35):
is next year in the hope of finally winning a
playoff game, maybe Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
The TJ.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Watt lung puncture situation seems very odd to me. I
know that there are all kinds of difference. To me,
well why not.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Because he's obviously going to sue the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know, well, how do you know why? How do
you know.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
That the carefully worded statement by j. J. Watts, which
was not a cuser towards just very very factual and
repeated by TJ's white but Instagram very uh, I don't
want to say legal leaves, but very carefully worded. The
Steelers are not carmen at all on on how it happened,
(33:19):
except to say he's not available to play. It just
seems to be head in that direction. And Tyrod Taylor,
who had something very similar happened the LA Chargers. I
think that Kate is still pending so well.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
That was a different situation though, because that was a
painshot administered from a team doctor and we don't know
who was doing the acupuncture procedure that I mean they
could have been No, I don't. I don't know, do
you is the team acupuncturist in the ear end picture
with the team?
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Yeah's going to sue the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I think the big question is I mean he might
have brought that acupuncturist.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
In, is my point.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
He might have brought the acupuncturist in. I mean he
might have. You know, they have done that in the
past with massage therapists I know who weren't employed by
the team but then came in because they specialized in
some you know, reichi or whatever the hell you know
some of that. Okay, Well that's why I didn't know
if you had sometimes you have inside information on this stuff,
(34:22):
and I didn't know if that was sometimes I do Okay, Uh.
I was just wondering, just wondering over are you ready
for Christmas?
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Mark? Nah? I mean I've never been really ready for Christmas.
I I mean this could have son really gloom and Bloom,
which is my mother passed. I haven't exchanged gifts with anybody.
I make that very clear. I have no desire to
do that. Some people have given me gifts, which is
very nice poteat getting reciprocated. No, my favorite Christmas ritol
(34:50):
is I love the Double Tree cookies. And I'm doing
a wake to one eighty now, but I got that
can of Double Tree cookies. Yeah, I'm taking a few
days off awake for one eighty Christmas. I'll be plunging
in those are awes.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, Double Tree Dawn are good, buddy. He brings us
the cookies. Oh no, okay, did you go to Did
you go to a high school with Double Tree Donna
as well?
Speaker 7 (35:11):
You know? Yes, I think so, but I'm thought and
I went class of seventy eight extail.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Okay, Well, he brings these cookies, the ones they give
you when you check into the Double Tree, and they
usually heat them up and you get to take them
in your room. It's like a hot chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
He gives us.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Those, and they are the best damn cookies I think
I've ever had.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
They are the best cookies anywhere, any time, from anybody.
If that's an exaggeration, that's not a big one, is it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Uh No, They're pretty damn good.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Well, you've got eight days till Christmas. Do you have
a tree up at home or no?
Speaker 7 (35:42):
I have like a three four full minutes wire Christmas
trees that bring it every year.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, what is your favorite Christmas that.
Speaker 7 (35:50):
They spect that they expect to My mother laven with me,
That's what That's how we had our Christmas and know
a chief was removed with me.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Well that's nice. That's a nice tribute. So what is
your go to christ Miss movie?
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, it is does get you ready for the season,
there's no question.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
I don't. I mean, I don't watch a good Christmas movie.
I think they're all really cruchede. I think that Christmas
Vacation is is pretty funny. Christmas Vacation is very funny.
Which one Wonderful Life is just the classic.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, I was just gonna say It's a Wonderful Life
is objectively a great movie, like Holiday Nonwithstanding, it is
you know, perfectly written, acted, directed, et cetera. And it
was not a huge hit at the time. It became
a classic later, but it is. I could watch it
any time of year. I think it's absolutely hilarious. But
(36:45):
there's a lot of movies in that ilk that that
I find. I think Miracle on thirty fourth Street is
actually also hilarious, full of hilarious characters.
Speaker 7 (36:53):
Yeah, No, that's what's the one one that kid gets
shot the eye Christmas story that's awful, that should never
be shown again.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Cross it's just disagree.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I mean that is Geene Shepherd Radio Titan, Geene Shepherd
his screen screenpeace speaking of slap shot. Melinda Dillon, of
course is in Christmas. That's right, the mom in Christmas stories.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
Shot in a Christmas story with another no good runaway
hockey wife jumping with a hockey player.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, and those hockey wags you got to look out. Uh, Mark,
this is the last time we'll talk before the new year,
and I'm just wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons,
and I hope you have a merry Christmas, and uh
you know, and.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
I will spend the holidays watching a lot of.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Me too, absolutely heartbroken over that. The thing I hate
about it, well, there's so much that's just terrible about it,
but the idea that his legacy now will be attached
to that like it took me a long time to
see Phil Hartman without thinking about the tragic circumstances of
his death, and I kind of feel like that about
Rob Reiner now and it kind of steals that away.
(38:16):
The enjoyment of those movies is always going to have
that specter around it for me, at least for a
little while.
Speaker 7 (38:21):
For me, I mean was terrible. The aftermath of what
was said was even worse. And I've gone on and
on about that, maybe to my maybe, to my maybe
not to my good but I don't care, because things
have to be said. I mean, I mean, Ryner is
a better person than a piece of crap in the
White House could ever dream of being on his I.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Got to be honest with you, I mean, it shocks
me that you have taken this tact.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Why well, it just did not seem like.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
The playing field that you wanted to enter into.
Speaker 7 (38:54):
No, no, it's not a playing field I want to
enter into. And I am more rights than left. But
enough to enough, enough is just freaking enough. Y mean,
my god, act presidential for one second, have a shred
of decency for one second, and it's really revealed a
lot about a lot of people out there, and they
fell f themselves too. Well. Let me, I get told
(39:15):
all the time and now I'm going too far. But
I got told on Twitter. You have no idea how
many Trump supporters listen to your show, don't have to listen.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Well, I've already gone down this path many times since
twenty sixteen.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Oh no, I know you have it. I used to
think you were done for doing it, but now I
get it.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Uh well, uh yeah, and now I'm I'm kind of
at the point where I just want to give people
an opportunity to experience something else, because you get that
everywhere else.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
That's true, and that's why I'm gonna see some desist
with this after what I time to do it today
and obviously on the show, and that's done a very
good job. But I'm gonna be on it some sixty
before where I can retire with happens for here, it
doesn't really matter that much.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Well, let's go off on a good note. What's your
favorite Rob Runner movie?
Speaker 7 (39:57):
Well, obviously Spinal Path, But you know I hadn't Rob
on my show about two or three years ago, which
was tremendous.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (40:06):
I honestly forget what movie because I made a deal
with him. I got on before we talked and I said, hey,
can we talk about actually my producer it Tom. If
we talk about the movie, can we also talk about
it all in the family spinal Tap, and he graciously agreed,
and that was a really big thrill for me. But
but yeah, you know, I'm not just you know martyring
Law because of what happened. I was a huge fan
(40:28):
of his. I mean, as long as I can remember
there being a Rob Reiner and and I mean I
think spinal Taps his best work because the originality of
it at the time, and the way it so cleverly
poked fun at a genre a heavy metal that I
love and I still got it and dug it and
loved it. I think stand By Me is the quint
essential coming of age movie. And of course, as he
(40:51):
as he said many times, he said on my show
when I passed away, the headline's going to be meet
head guys, and we'll never forget that character. I just
you watch the last scene, well, I mean.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Oh, the goodbye between him and Archie. It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (41:06):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. It just may me cry, maybe
cry then maybe cry now.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Well, Mark, have a great holiday, buddy, and wishing you
the best heading into twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7 (41:17):

Speaker 11 (42:39):
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.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
For the Dolphins, it was a bit of.
Speaker 11 (43:01):
A slow start to the game, with the first score
not coming until twenty four minutes into the game, a
Dolphins Seld goal breaking the ice. But then Pittsburgh erupted
for twenty eight unanswered points as they bruise 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 no doubt, helped the Steelers
(43:23):
get the victory. 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 and two rushing touchdowns. 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 (43:43):
But don't let that fool you. Detroit's much better than
their record. Let's on.
Speaker 11 (43:46):
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.
