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.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
That because I don't show how egregious it was. I
don't know Tad Whistles hanging out with us this morning too.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
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 6 (04:53):
And new.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
This hour is brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
It's cloudy today. 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

(05:16):
for them to arrive by Christmas. If you're using USPS
Ground Advantage or 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 2 (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 3 (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 3 (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 3 (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 3 (07:27):
Is it a gift?

Speaker 7 (07:28):
No?

Speaker 3 (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. I
don't know. Three of you have some of my brother's wige. Yeah,
take a picture of it, send it to him.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Yeah, this boyfriend sucks.

Speaker 3 (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 3 (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 3 (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 3 (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 3 (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 3 (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. Has he been booked
on other charges? Believe it or not? 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 3 (11:53):
I thought you were going to say rehab. Okay, Now
he's entered rehab and he wants to turn his life right.
I have a family. 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.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
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 3 (12:43):
A few years later and you know, Bob's your uncle.

Speaker 8 (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 3 (12:59):
I'm sorry, what nudes? 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 3 (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 8 (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 3 (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 3 (14:16):
For the holiday. Do you have ornaments? Do they're not
currently on the tree?

Speaker 8 (14:21):
Currently?

Speaker 3 (14:22):
There are lights on the tree. Okay, so you're kind
of in the trend. There is a tree, there are lights.
I have several ornaments. Color lights.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
They're color lights, they're big, they're the old retro bulbs.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Nice. That is nice. Yeah, see I'm nice. You're really nice.
But you own ornaments? Yeah, I'm not an idiot.

Speaker 8 (14:46):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Why would I ask? You don't have to lie about
the ornaments.

Speaker 5 (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 3 (15:14):
Is it a real tree? That's my other question for
these guys. 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 3 (15:32):
Rob Kardashian, he's got to do something. Yes, just stands there.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, notice me dressed like a tree.

Speaker 5 (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 3 (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 3 (16:11):
Tad. What does the Christmas tree look like in your house?
If there is one? No tree?

Speaker 9 (16:15):
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 3 (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. 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 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 3 (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 3 (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 3 (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? You have?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
The I know you, I mean, I have a child.
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 3 (19:31):
Wanted to it. 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 3 (20:25):
Yeah, right, is it like the plastic kind like those?
Oh I can oh, I can picture 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. We like it.

Speaker 5 (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?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
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 3 (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 3 (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.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Too many lighthouses and then at Christmas would be too
many trees.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
He's like, oh, good point, Mike's coming in next with
your sports.

Speaker 3 (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 3 (22:30):
The week against the Browns, this can huh, well if
they both. 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 3 (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 3 (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.

Speaker 10 (23:04):
Live from the Don's Appliance to studios where Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
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 11 (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 11 (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 3 (23:41):
Okay, why I watched Detroit lives. They're just better and
they're not gonna stop them.

Speaker 11 (23:48):
It's gonna be like forty nine to thirty one something
like that.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
So played the over.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, no, sit.

Speaker 11 (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.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
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 3 (24:11):
Well, it still might, but just not winning this Sunday
in Detroit. Okay?

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Is that bad that I ruin it?

Speaker 8 (24:19):
Yeah? You ruin the end of the movie.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, yeah, No, I mean I watched the quarter to
half lock. Forget it's I've seen all I need to see.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (24:43):
They'll convert, though it'll be horrible feeling. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (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 11 (25:09):
Yes, I brought tinsel in the Steelers pregame. I'll probably
amend it to This is gonna be a.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Really really really really really really hard game to win.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
My god, I mean I've watched them this year. I
don't think they're a juggernaut.

Speaker 5 (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 11 (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.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
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 11 (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.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
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 11 (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 11 (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 3 (27:26):
Probably couldn't hit a fast ball with that thing on there.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (27:35):
No no no. Then you have the Browns and then you.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Say, wow, that sounded fat.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
No.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (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 3 (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 11 (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 3 (29:04):
You're gonna You're gonna learn the Lions fight song somenday.

Speaker 11 (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 11 (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 3 (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 3 (29:39):
On Steelers Lions.

Speaker 12 (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.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
If you can't get enough.

Speaker 3 (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 11 (30:08):
Gotta watch some more tape during the commercial. Oh yeah,
this is the guy.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
No.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (30:42):
That's probably how they'll try. They're all gonna show up.

Speaker 11 (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 13 (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 8 (31:22):
This week, and so no real news there.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (31:49):
He hadn't practiced enough to play.

Speaker 13 (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 8 (31:58):
Excited about getting him back.

Speaker 13 (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 8 (32:08):
Man, that'll be big.

Speaker 11 (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 3 (33:13):
Yeah, the Miami plan. I like that. This is this
is the Manhattan.

Speaker 11 (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 11 (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 3 (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 11 (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 11 (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 11 (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 3 (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

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 15 (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. No doubt helped the Steelers

(37:07):
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.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
And two rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 15 (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 3 (37:27):
But don't let that fool you. Detroit's much better than
their record. Let's on.

Speaker 15 (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 3 (37:37):
I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report. Steelers fans, your
team is a powerhouse.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
Are you ready to throw another great game here in
the Steel City?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (37:47):
And let's take a minute to talk about the other
powerhouse in town.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Been the best for forty eight years straight. Got the
grit and strength to take on anything. It's an MVP
here in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
Ford f Series says selling trucks in Pittsburgh and in America.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Now, how about that young duo on offense. That's the
next powerhouse on our radar.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
Have one P fifty, the official truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Bill Crawford's here for climate tech. Hey, real quick, if
you've been thinking about upgrading your heating or cooling, this
guaranteed human.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Because for many years I used to just plug in
the tree that was pre lit. Yeah, for many many
years I did that because I was never home, Like
as soon as our Christmas break happened, I was like.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Out of town at a sibling or whatever.

Speaker 8 (38:33):
You know.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
I'd go visit my family. But I wanted to have
a tree.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
I just didn't want it to have a million ornaments
and just a pain in the ass because I wasn't
really there to enjoy it. But now I'm in Pittsburgh
a lot more often for the holiday, so I have
it a little more festooned for the holiday.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Do you have ornaments?

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Do they're not currently on the tree. Currently there are
lights on the tree.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Okay, so you're kind of in the trend.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
There is a tree, there are lights. I have several ornaments.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Color lights.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
They're color lights. They're big, they're the old retro bulbs.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Nice. That is nice. Yeah, see, I'm nice. You're really nice.
You're going five. You own ornaments? Yeah, I'm not an idiot.
I mean, why would.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
I have Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show?

Speaker 5 (39:24):
I lease, okay, I lease, you got it out of me.
At least the ornaments.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
They're not mine. Okay.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Finally I'm hoping there's an option to buy in a
few years, hoping to own them.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
You know what, that's actually that's not a bad idea.
It probably looks at me.

Speaker 5 (39:39):
You can do like rent the dress things that you
do rent the runway, which.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
I have done before.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Pretty good idea when that's for like ladies on the
big events.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Is do you know about this time? No tell me.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Rent the runway is whenever you have like a fancy
pants event and you can look at this website that
basically has, you know, really like dresses that are super
out of your price range because they're like high fashion
and stuff you would never own.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
You rent the.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Dresses and like multiple sizes, and then you wear them
to your event.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
And then you send them back. Sounds great. It's a
fantastic idea.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
Because then you look like you can afford stuff that
you cannot.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
And then and then you don't have to wear it.
So they dry clean the dresses and stuff.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
It's not like all right, because that's the only gross
part is that other people are wearing them.

Speaker 5 (40:30):
That's how we save money. That's a cost cutting measure.
We never washed the dresses. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
If it's like a be kind rewind and they just
trust you to clean it.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Yeah, No, I did rent one once that I was like,
this sounds like a pickle, but I'm still gonna wear it.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Right, the zipper's broken and it smells like a pickle.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
But getting back to your original idea, this might be
a million dollar Christmas idea. Rent Christmas decorations and then
somebody comes in and just boom, they just plaster it
like a like a uh, like one of those.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Insect fog bombs they put off yep. Yeah, and they
take it away. They just explode Christmas all over your house.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
Live with your parents for three days, we'll be and
then come on back.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
It'll be all decked out. It's matter termites.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
Nope, Christmas, Christmas everywhere, Christmas all over the place.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
And then they take it away. And that's the part I.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Like, Yeah, nobody likes packing up Christmas decorations because there's
a depressing element to it. When you put the Christmas
decorations away, it's here we go again. It's another year. Jesus,
How am I going to get through this year?

Speaker 5 (41:39):
Oh God, I'm up here in this crawl space, jamming
this disheveled box of ornaments. The boxes are never in
good shape, no ever, because people are so frustrated by
that point, they're like just jamming in the corner.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
I was impressed with the person I was though that
put the Christmas lights away last year.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Oh that's a great feeling. I'm like this, this woman
is a good woman.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
Yeah, like making your bed actually, like wrapping them up,
zip tying?

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Well, look at you?

Speaker 5 (42:12):
Like what Yeah it was somebody attached?

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Were you tying somebody up? It's like, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Was in the box. Look I did.

Speaker 8 (42:31):
What a good girl.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Well, merry Christmas. You only have eight days till Christmas?
How's that sound I'm behind.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
I was panicking when Abby was reading uh last hour
the deadlines shipping dates.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Unless you want to pay.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
Fifty bucks to mail a hat.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
To somebody, you don't like that much. There you go.
I don't want a docs.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
But I remember, like even in the summer months, there
was something that Billy Gardell wanted from the studio and
he was like, Oh, I really want to take this home,
but I don't know how if I'm.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Worship it to you ship it to you. And he
was like, oh, that'd be great, and I'm like, I'll
take care of it. But they're like, I don't worry
about it. How much was it?

Speaker 4 (43:12):
Well, he handed me like fifty bucks and I'm like, oh,
my cousin, I would love to send this to you.
He's like, please take this. I will not take no
for an answer that I take the fifty bucks. And
I'm thinking, like that's too much.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
It's probably like a sheets mug or something like that.
It's like three hundred dollars. Are you serious? And I
was like, oh, I'm not gonna I mean, I was like, okay,
oh no, you got.

Speaker 5 (43:35):
To tell him, no, he's got money, tell him no,
absolutely what three hundred bucks?

Speaker 3 (43:41):
My mind is racing. Was it an Oregon? Well, you
could have. It was a it was a photo. It
was like it was like a canvas. It was like
a canvas photo. Yeah, I mean you could have bought
it a plane ticket for that much. Yeah, with a courier.

Speaker 8 (43:55):
Right.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
But but now I'm thinking like Christmas and spedited because
I just send it like it'll get there when it
gets there.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
I didn't even try to make a fancy Well here's why.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
What you do in this scenario is you shift gift
giving methodology and you if you are sending it somewhere
far away, if the person lives in Chicago, you find
out what pizza place they go to, and you send
them pizzas you like, you go into the around their
neighborhood to something that delivers, and you have that delivered
to their house, and like, that's what they're getting this year.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
That's great. Not cooking.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, I'm sending you dinner for Friday night. Here's a
bunch of pizzas. You're probably sitting home with the kids,
rappid presents or doing whatever you do before the holidays.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Yes, yes, the pizza thing is amazing. I always say
food food with nobody's mad about food if it was
not not sweets.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Necessarily, sweets are okay, but actual food, like a dinner's
worth of food, like sending frozen stuff from gold Belly,
it's a winner.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
Sweet Sweets is almost homework because you're like you're giving
someone the guilt and shame.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Yes, you yourself would never want.

Speaker 5 (45:12):
And I say, this is a guy who just received
a huge bag of caramel popcorn yesterday.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Oh dude.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I used to send the Pittsburgh popcorn to my siblings
and they all fricking loved it, those huge tins. And
then they were kind of like you you can't keep
doing that too, like it's so much, it's so good,
and then they all that you eat it, and it's
it's a pretty high calorie carne in a day. Yes,

(45:38):
it's really good, though, it.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Is really good. Are they still rocking down there? I
know they it was a little rocky there for a minute. No,
we have to check. I bet I remember that idiot
went in there for the health department.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
They're like, there's rat turns all over the place, and
they're like, those are popcorn kernels?

Speaker 1 (45:51):
You more on?

Speaker 3 (45:53):
Really?

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Yes, And they like got tabbed for a health violation
that didn't actually exist, and then they rescinded the hellth
violation after the fact, which is no. Right when you
put like sex offender on your neighbor's door and then
oh not him, sorry, they take it down.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Everyone's like it's a weirdo.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
I will say that one of the gifts that Randy
sent last year were still enjoying the benefits of and
it was it was the Sarah's candy chocolate bombs. And
they were these things that Edie loves because anytime she
goes out in the snow, she wants these chocolate bombs
now and they are these like round chocolate bombs full

(46:35):
of marshmallows that you put in hot chocolate.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
And then they explode. That sounds awesome, It's.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
Amazing, and so like he sent so many of them
that like now when she comes in and you know,
noses all.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Round and everything a lot. I don't remember that. Yeah,
it was like a whole Sarah's thing and there was
a bunch of chocolate bombs in them. I thought there
was one. Nope, there was like one. Gross it was
one Baker's.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
They didn't realize A palette was Pittsburgh Popcorn Company is
still rocking and you can order online and it is
a really good gift for the expatriot Pittsburgh in your life.
You want to send somebody a little Pittsburgh who's not
living here. That's always a good one.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Love it. Send him a little Strip District.

Speaker 16 (47:15):
All right.

got a lot.

Speaker 5 (48:13):
Yeah, weren't they they were like I don't know, they
weren't an item, I guess, but they were the business
friendly they did.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Though I know, I think about that all the time,
all the time, all the time. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
I do know that she is inordinately beautiful and I'm
attracted to her, and I never thought that's somebody I
would be like, oh God, she's so hot. She is
actually smoking hot. She is so beautiful. Martha Stewart ridiculously beautiful.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
And she's old though she's and so it's snooped on
maybe me probably mean there's like some like I don't know,
if it's like parliament in Japan or something where.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Everyone's like fighting. Would every time I see that, I laughed.
That is so funny.

Speaker 5 (49:09):
That's kind of how I feel about Bertha Stewart trying
to drag me away from the micro would.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Mike used to like bust my chops about Helen Mirren
two And I'm like, dude, Helen Miren.

Speaker 8 (49:23):
How was it?

Speaker 3 (49:24):
On what grounds was her job?

Speaker 2 (49:26):
I know, I mean, well I think it was because
I said still and I'm like, I'm right, Yeah, she
is what down gorgeous? I don't know, I'm not ages there,
I know I contained multitudes.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Listen, you're diverse, man, good, that's the character.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
A new survey on gen Z's holiday spending habits found
the sixteen percent of participants said that receiving a bad
or a cheap gift from a partner would make them
end the relationship. Majority of respondents, about sixty five percent,
believe that receiving a gift that doesn't reflect their tastes
or interests is the worst kind of gift, as it

(50:05):
can feel like the giver doesn't know or care about them.

Speaker 5 (50:09):
Great news as someone whose wife has a birthday today.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Yeah, second guess at all for the Yeah? Yeah, did
you do enough?

Speaker 9 (50:21):
Ted?

Speaker 3 (50:22):
Were you paying attention? All right?

Speaker 5 (50:24):
All right, I'm at that game. That's a tough one.
I mean, paying attention is.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Like you have to have that it worked into your
strategy of relationshiping of like putting stuff in the you know,
in the back of your brain, like aha, I have
to remember that.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
That's a good one. But that's the hard thing to do.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Yeah, the longer the relationship goes on, the easier it
is to let those things go in and out, like
that'd be a good gift.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Anyways, Yeah, right, send myself an email immediately. Mm hmm,
Well we'll see how did you feel like you did
a good job. I'll let you know, tomor I think so, okay, good, Okay,
that's good.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
I've seen this happen with other couples before. I know
I had a girlfriend that at once one. I don't
remember if it was Christmas exactly, but she kind of
knew the relationship was over when her boyfriend at the
time got her hangers, like.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Clothes hangers, nice one, Cedar.

Speaker 17 (51:20):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
I think he was just like, this is somebody who's
given hangers. A second, to be clear, don't smirch a hanger.
You're saying that hangers would not be a good gift. Okay,
let me just yes, yeah, hangers is a little impersonal.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Yeah, it's like I just noticed we needed hangers, and
I thought that was dutiful.

Speaker 5 (51:49):
She was like, yeah, dry his bone, like your clothes
will be when fancy the basement is fine.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
Uh, you know, subscriptions are a good gift. You can
do that to hanger weekly.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
There's there's so many options, great swimsit issue subscriptions to
I think I've I know, I've given subscriptions for Christmas,
two friends of mine.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Magazines are expensive and people just don't get them anymore.
The one that is it seems like a good idea,
The New Yorker, which is, you know, I used to
love The New Yorker because it had such a variety
of subjects that it covered, and it's a great magazine.
But one New Yorker takes me two weeks to read
if I'm diligent, and these suckers come every four or

(52:45):
five days, I swear to God, I mean the pile
that would accumulate of New Yorker magazines, yeah, on my
coffee table. It would just be like, I can't keep
looking at representation of my intellectual inefficiencies. I have to
get rid of those and pretend I'm the kind of
guy who would have read all of those instead of
proving that I am not.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
And I sent him to friends, and like my friends, yes,
she said the same thing.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
She's like, I love it, but please don't send that
to me again, because it's it's just this daunting like, oh, really,
you're just gonna scroll your whole life away, or you're
gonna go back to the written word here. Uh, it's uh,
it's really tough.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
It's tough.

Speaker 5 (53:26):
It's in the most uncomfortable chair in your house and
reads the New Yorker a cheir that only looks good.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Right, Yeah, the dog won't sit in it like ear.
All right.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
If you were thinking twenty twenty five couldn't get any worse,
I asked the news for you. It's not great. The
Rolling Stones will not be touring in twenty twenty six.
After all, that's not the bad news. Bad news, really
bad news is that they've canceled their plans because of
Keith Richards.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
He is not up to it.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
Uh oh good, that's the rock and roll's most indestructible man.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
How old is he? Eighty two tomorrow? Okay?

Speaker 4 (54:06):
Yeah, he's been dealing with arthritis in recent years, so
it doesn't actually list any other health issues.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
That look good.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
I don't have, but source says when they properly sat
down to discuss the tour, Keith said that he didn't
think he could commit and wasn't keen on a big
stadium tour for over four months. There Air is apparently
a new album coming out in twenty six, so that
is something to look forward to.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
I just I know that arthritis is taking down a
lot of guitar players. Sure, so it might just be
that simple. Because once you start fumble fingering, which Jimmy
Page did for a long time, it just feels, I
don't know, It's like John bon Jovi getting out there
and trying to sing and not being able to do it.
There's something so defeating about it, you know what I mean, Yeah,

(54:57):
like you're doing more harm than good.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
The bond Jovi stuff, though, is like another level. My
heart kind of breaks for him. It does because I
hard he's kind of nothing funny about it.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
My heart's breaking for him because I know how hard
he's working and I know how bad he wants to
get back on the horse.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
He can't do it.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
I mean, he has every member of the band singing
like the verses with him at this point. It's like
a sing along. It's kind of like karaoke when everybody's
saying like and he's breathing so hard. You can see
him using breathing techniques to try and like salvage whatever
ability he used to have, and it's just not there.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
That's what's odd to me is that I know that
you said in the documentary, which I still didn't watch,
that he was almost using like stems or something like
on his throat to try to get like the notes,
which it's weird, Like all the footage you can hear
that he has the notes, but he doesn't have any
of the breath work, and he seems like he's like
a healthy looking dude, and it would seem like the

(56:00):
airflow would not be the problem, but when you listen
to it, that's what it sounds like. The problem is
he was doing that version of Fast Cars by Tracy Chapman,
and he.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Almost like, baitch, you hang it all the way the back,
like you can't breathe. This was their tour announcement.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Okay, so I'll say this about that. And he just
doesn't even do that hard. If you're a fan of
bon Jovie, like a diehard, you don't care about that. Yeah,
Like people go see David Lee Roth and he can't
do even that much. I'm constantly seeing and I'm sending
you videos that I see all the time, abbey of

(57:16):
of retro acts coming back, and these fan bases do
not care. They want to be there for the celebration
of it. They're fine with it right now. Will that
sell out stadiums? I mean they're doing big, big venues.
I don't know. I mean David Roth is basically playing
small theaters and like casinos.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
And he's half a skibbity bop right now. But you
know that when you put.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
He's just gonna bomp around the stage like a you know,
a magician from the seventies.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Hey, yeah, right, throwing glitter up in the air and
I stuff like that. I would love to take an
uber to the Pepsi Roadhouse to see David le Roth.

Speaker 9 (57:54):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (57:56):
Home is always a bitch, But yes, if you're looking
for a late Christmas gift from me, that's what I want.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
I don't even know if he's there yet. Has he
been booked at the road house? Does the zeroad House
exist anymore? No?

Speaker 3 (58:07):
No, it's a great thing to say, dude.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
One time I went there to see Loretta Lynn and
I got backstage just a buddy of mine, like new
the promoter whatever, And I just sat backstage at the
Pepsy Roadhouse, which is not like a fancy green room,
it's like the kitchen, and she was just sitting in
a chair. I mean I was ten feet away from her,
and she was sitting there in the huge dress, and

(58:33):
there's people taking food in and out, you know, right
past her, and she's like, oh, pardon me, honey, like
zero pretense to her. She had her grandkids around, they
were like running up to her. She was telling them
behave Her son was her band leader, and he was
totally drunk, and she kept telling him stay away from
the whiskey, you know, like she's It was like everything
that you would have guessed it would be, and it
was unfolding there at the Pepsi Roadhouse in whatever that

(58:55):
like green room slash kitchen it was.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
It was awesome.

Speaker 2 (58:59):
It was like one of my favorite express And I
didn't talk to her or anything. I was just watching
it and I'm like, oh my god, that's laurentil In
like this. And then her son being hilariously drunk on
stage and she was admonishing him throughout the show.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
And it was not a bit tyler. I swear to god,
she was doing that the whole time, not at the
Pepsi Roadhouse. Do not mismarch it.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
He was telling like hard r jokes, Oh my god,
and she was like damn it, you know, like turning
around and yelling at him. And she was I think
in her seventies. You know, he was probably fifty eight
because she had kids when she was Yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
Want a baby, Doe. And then they had best movies. Yeah,
they never really talk about how weird that part of
it is.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
I want a baby dude. It's like, well, you're fourteen. Yeah,
that dude went to.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
The house and then her dad's like, well just trade
her right, see you. Yeah, and then she stayed married
to that guy forever and put up with a lot.
And now she well I guess then later was able
to put up with this drunk sun.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
Junior, was it?

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Well, yeah, that's her. The only guys she was ever
with a baby too? Who knew Tad Whistle can do
sissy space it spacing as.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
I went to go ahead. I went to Juilliard for this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Yes, this is one of those things where I want
to I was telling Abby, I want to do a
drunk Christmas Carol next year. Just somebody's doing that out
in la right now where they're performing a Christmas Carol,
but everybody in the cast is drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Oh, Like, it would be fun if we did stuff
like that come in.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
You can do the bottle rocket where we're like we
all go and get smashed. You have to do so
many yeah, and then you do a Christmas Carol. But
it would be fun to also do just like pop
up one man shows like Tad Whistle is as playing
the role of a person playing the role. I'm telling

(01:00:58):
you right now, the box office would have a line
down the street. Mike's got your sports coming up next. Also,
Tad's got some Christmas gift ideas for you. You're gonna
want to stick around for Steeler themed and Missy Matthews,

Do you own a small business? You need to hear this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I seeing show and Mike, I just want to point
out last hour you were not exactly bully on the
Steelers for Sunday against the Lions, and I would like
to reiterate, let me enjoy the win from Monday night
for one more day before you remind me how tough
the Sunday is going to be. We waited all year
to have a beatdown and we got. We got to
sit back and just relax in a fourth quarter. Every

(01:02:24):
Steeler fan needed that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Yeah, but it was Monday. It's a short week. You
gotta move on, gotta turn give us time.

Speaker 11 (01:02:30):
Got a Bob seeger this one and turn the page,
especially since they're going to Michigan.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
Yeah, Motor City Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
All of the action starts at twelve thirty here on
DV for that four to twenty five kickoff in Detroit.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
Sports is Up. Brought to you by Bridgeville appliants.

Speaker 11 (01:02:48):
If the Steelers have a chance on Sunday in Detroit,
and theoretically they have one, that's why they play the games.
It's because the Steelers have Aaron Rodgers. This is Rogers
time of the year, and Mike Tomlin knows it, not
because of anything Rogers is saying or doing in preparation
for December football, just because.

Speaker 13 (01:03:07):
No, nothing relative to his process or his prep process.
But it's just value value that you can measure, value
that you can't measure in having a guy that's been
there and done that. It benefits him, benefits us as
a collective. I think it raises the tide for the collective.
It's just certain conversations and things that you don't even

(01:03:29):
worry about. You know, we had a significant possession down
late in that game, and he affords us an opportunity
to run a misdirection pass and you don't even have
to tell him, hey, throw an incompletion or take a
sack because we want the clock running. He knows that
he's lived that life and so that's just one small example,
but there's there's countless examples of benefits of having a

(01:03:49):
guy with his level of experience, the quality of that experience,
particularly this time of year, as a road gets narrow.

Speaker 11 (01:03:58):
That's a pretty good thing to have because the road
is gonna get narrow against the Lions, who are desperate
to get back on the right side of the cut line.
As it relates to the NFC playoffs, Aaron Rodgers certainly
knows what it's like to go into Detroit and he
knows the Lions, and he's not gonna blink.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
No, he's not gonna blink. I'm not so much worried
about the offense on this one. I'm worried about whether
or not we have herbig TJ. Watt and not having
any pass rush against Jared Goff would be problematic.

Speaker 11 (01:04:29):
Perhaps possibly potentially, But the Steelers do have depth that
was on display against Miami. They beat the Dolphins despite
not having TJ. Watt, and at this time of the
year when it seems like every team has injuries, and
the Steelers certainly have theirs. Mike Tomlin maintained yesterday that, well,

(01:04:50):
the Steelers always keep their feathers numbered for just such
an emergency.

Speaker 13 (01:04:54):
It's not if his win as it pertains the injury
in our business, and so if you're in a position
like mine, you better work your tail off to ready
each and every man that's a part of the program
and had that urgency daily and and I certainly do, uh,
and we do as a staff. And but those are
the guys that are the deserving of the credit. I'll
never ask guys to be patient. I'll ask them to

(01:05:16):
work while they wait, and and a lot of guys
have done that, and and we get performances like many
of them displayed. It's just evidence that they have And certainly, uh,
some of them are going to get additional opportunities to
do so, and maybe some new guys we're going to
get opportunities to do so as we move forward.

Speaker 8 (01:05:33):
That's just the nature of this thing.

Speaker 13 (01:05:34):
I think your ability to adapt and adjust and pivot
often defines as a collective And and certainly we've had
some opportunities to do so, and they've had some success
at times. And we better keep digging because I just
been on enough of these journeys I know it's a
component of it.

Speaker 8 (01:05:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:05:55):
Dylan Cook was certainly the headliner of their playing left tackle,
second career NFL game, first career NFL start. He worked
for three years while he waited and he was ready.
You look at the cornerback spot opposite Joey Porter. They
started with Darius Slay. That became an injury slash ability thing,
so they went to James Pierre. He gets hurt, but

(01:06:16):
they had gone out and got a Sante Samuel Veteran,
been there, done that guy. So they think they can
plug and play, and they're probably going to have to
in a couple more places.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
No significant injury news.

Speaker 11 (01:06:29):
From Mike Tomlin yesterday, which is not surprising given that
he was talking to the media about twelve hours after
the Dolphins game ended. But Tomin did make it sound
very much as if Derek Harmon is going to be
able to play, that's great. The context there was that
Harmon was actually physically ready to play by the end
of last week, but he had only been limited in

(01:06:51):
practice for one day, so they didn't think it was
fair to play Hi when he wasn't properly prepped.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
This week.

Speaker 11 (01:06:56):
Presumably he's going to be properly prepped and wound up
going home. He's a Detroit kid and getting to play
Ford field against the Lions, I would think would be
a big deal for Harmon, and.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
You need them against that. You need running back tandem there.

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:07:10):
Yeah, they got two running backs, Montgomery the power guy
and Gibbs the speed guy. They got receivers out there
ying Yang what they don't have our defensive backs and
kind of what they're dealing with. Three three starters are down.
Imagine the Steelers you've already lost to Shawn Elliott. Now
take Joey Porter Junior and Jalen Ramsey out and throw

(01:07:32):
a secondary together and see what that looks like.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
All right, well when we pick up Alan Lazard, now
we're gonna really be cooking with gas. Okay, there's no
way that's gonna happen.

Speaker 9 (01:07:44):
Right.

Speaker 11 (01:07:45):
I wouldn't say I think they're good with Scantling and
Field he I was gonna say, how much better is
he than Scantling? Vow this Scantling? You know, every time
we call him Scanlon, we're cutting his name in half. Yeah,
I know it's supposed to be bow this Scantling. I
just it's it's like Mark Andre, clumsy and awkward to say.
But I don't like doing in the MVS state because
that feels like a nickname and that sounds like a pharmacy.

(01:08:05):
Go to MVS get a tosta a long receipt. Yes, yeah,
I just I don't know if they can keep up. Okay,
I think Detroit's going to score, and no Patriots. The
Steelers to me look like a team that can get
about twenty eight thirty one if they're if they're on
their details and executing and kind of meeting their potential.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Hey, I've been on the Lions this year to watch
them stink up the joint.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
So look is going to be enough?

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
All right? Abby's got your news. Top forty one is
going to be enough?

Speaker 9 (01:08:39):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:08:39):
Here comes the pit season two and is micro gifting
better than one big gift.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
I'm gonna remind you of this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
If the Steelers come out on top of you, are
you are very sure that they're not winning this game?

Speaker 11 (01:08:55):
Let me see this all all of this all year,
all these predictions in assessed. It's nobody really knows. I
know nobody really knows.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
But this is the most sure I've seen you in
a long time. This game that a Steeler's opponent has
virtually no shot of losing.

Speaker 11 (01:09:10):
Yeah, I think this is the game all year. I
just I'm not seeing the path to victory and every
other one you saw one in this one.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Okay, I'm not trying sometimes several right, all right, I'm
not going to lose faith. And despite that, I am
still looking forward to hearing Tad's Steeler gift recommendation for
you here in just a little bit. With the holidays
now here, we are eight days away from Christmas. Hard
to believe. Mark Madden, Missy Matthews and a whole lot

(01:09:41):
more coming up, but it probably has a path to
victory for the Steelers. He's a very optimistic guy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
I should listen in on that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Yes, if you if you want a rosy outlook for
the Steelers in the organization and appreciation of all the
things that they have accomplished.

Speaker 11 (01:09:55):
The yes, that's right, that's fun. This has been to
see them get the eighties six and have a shot
down the stretch.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
And why Mike Tomlin should be commended for it. Yes,
listen to Mark Madden at nine. Mike has something to say.

Speaker 11 (01:10:08):
First, Randall, the Black and Gold are seven point underdogs
on Sunday in Detroit and the total is fifty one
and a half. If you think those are numbers you
can work with, it's time to go to work with
the bet Parks sportsbooking online casino app. If you like
but don't love those numbers, you can change them. That's
also an option with bet Parks. You can even wait
until the game starts, process what you're seeing, and then

(01:10:30):
jump on a moving train via the live in game
betting option. There is always another way to win with
bet Parks, and that's why I love it. That's why
the bett Parks sports booking online casino app is the
only one that I recommend. Bet Parks also has a

Speaker 12 (01:11:21):
Your requests are on the Electric Launch at noon with
Michelle Michaels on DVE.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Ninety four point five tree ws It's the DVE Morning Show.
Randy Bama along with Abby Prisoner Mike pursued. Our buddy
Tad Whistle's hanging out with us this morning.

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
And you know at this time of the year, just
eight days before Christmas, when you're doing that last minute shopping, boy,
that can be hectic. So with some gift ideas for
the Steeler fan in your life, here is Tad Tad
take it away.

Speaker 5 (01:12:02):
Well, you can never go wrong with buying Steeler stuff
for a loved one. But there's so many choices. This
list is just meant to make you know your selections
a little less overwhelming. All Right, When we think about
the greatest invention of the twenty first century, what comes
to mind, AI and machine learning, human genome sequencing. Nope,

(01:12:25):
it's pretty obviously Facebook Marketplace. Yes, now we are in
the golden age of online commerce when it comes to
buying Steeler, chotchkes and random crap. Here's a list of
potential gifts from real Facebook Marketplace posts that I've seen
over the last thirty hours. So these are actual Steeler
related for Oh they're very real, okay, very real. A

(01:12:49):
three D printed bust of James Harrison the only Catches
looks nothing like James Harrison. It actually looks like Sergeant Doakes,
the detective who it's dexter surprise, or maybe the person
in your life who loves the black and gold and

(01:13:10):
loves to drink but in a classy way. There's an
eighty five dollars decanter shaped like a Steeler helmet.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
I am about a custom upholstered recliner.

Speaker 5 (01:13:21):
I know eleven dollars may sound a little steep for
a chair wrapped in a Steeler's tablecloth, but it does
come with a matching ottoman. Oh well, I mean you
can't beat that press rizing For fifty bucks, you can
own a piece of history with a seat from three
River Stadium. Oh well, that's kind of cool. But not
the whole seat. What just the bottom part where the

(01:13:45):
butts go. There's no back to, no back.

Speaker 8 (01:13:49):
Go back.

Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
The advertise also comes to the certificate of authenticity, which
I would love to see because it's the bat it's
the bottom meat of the seat. There's a homemade Steelers
Deadpool mask, and I know that your your brain just
immediately zapped to that one person in your life who
could use that. How about a hand painted Steeler coffee table?

(01:14:14):
I should say, you know, the artwork is a little wonky,
but you'll have plenty of time to figure out a
fix for this handsome buffet on your way back from
Bethel Park after you've picked it up. But look, Christmas
shouldn't just be about stuff. You know, we get so
stuff oriented. You can book a ninety minute tour of

(01:14:34):
Akrosure Stadium that includes a stroll through the Great Hall,
a look inside the Steelers locker room, in a photo
op with one of the deconsecrated Heinz ketchup bottles.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
The price tag is only.

Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
Twenty five dollars, but if you want to upgrade the
experience for another fifty bucks, my buddy Gary will accompany
you and loudly talk over the tour guide with fun
anecdotes like that's the men's room, I've seen a dude
pissing this scene. And one time I was in line

(01:15:09):
at Annie Ann's and I met dry Chisholm.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
Great girl. Oh yeah, Dari, it's great. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
Speaking of experiential gifts. You could also book a holiday
greeting with Cameo, the video messaging app that connects celebrities
and athletes with the masses.

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
Who wouldn't want a Christmas wish from Dick Lebo.

Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Yeah, they've got a nice roster of Steelers on there,
heinz Ward, Terry Bradshaw, even Antonio Brown. And look, the
message doesn't even have to be holiday related. It can
be whatever. As a matter of fact, two days ago,
I paid former Steeler wide receiver Sammy Coates ten bucks
to encourage my friend to get a colonoscope.

Speaker 8 (01:15:53):
You gotta get it done, baby.

Speaker 13 (01:15:54):
I think it's gonna be great for everything's gonna be okay,
So don't be worried, gonna be scared.

Speaker 16 (01:15:58):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:15:59):
Yeah, I'm done it.

Speaker 8 (01:16:00):
Do it twice a year, So hey, don't get it done.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
Twice a year. I know what you're thinking.

Speaker 19 (01:16:06):
Did Sammy coach just say he hits two colors is
a year. Whatever the reason is, I'm glad he's doing
it right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
You could never be too sure.

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
But look, if Sammy Coates will do that for ten bucks,
imagine what Antonio Brown will do for two point fifty.

Speaker 3 (01:16:28):
He might violate a gag warrior. Look, if I could
just get on my soapbox here.

Speaker 5 (01:16:36):
We get so caught up in the consumerism, the spending,
all the stress, it's easy to lose sight of what's
really important this holiday season.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Love Family and.

Speaker 5 (01:16:47):
The Steelers Margaritaville collection available at the Steelers Pro Shop,
which I guess is some kind of bizarre partnership between
the Steelers and Jimmy Buffett's estate.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
I'm not making this up.

Speaker 5 (01:17:00):
There's a whole line of pastel shirts that are just
the Steeler logo with the sunset and a couple of
palm trees, making their target demographic uncles hipsters.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
I honestly don't know. Look, yeah, they're a hideous abomination.

Speaker 5 (01:17:19):
Yes, their existence only proves that God is dead and
everything is for sale. But that being said, which it was,
I kind of want one happy shopping and Mary stressmus
to all.

Speaker 4 (01:18:19):
I've seen this happen with other couples before. I know,
I had a girlfriend that at once one. I don't
remember if it was Christmas exactly, but she kind of
knew the relationship was over when her boyfriend at the
time got her hangers, like.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
Clothes hangers, nice one, Cedar.

Speaker 4 (01:18:37):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (01:18:38):
I think he was just like, this is somebody who's
given hangers. A second, to be clear, don't smirch a hanger.
You're saying that hangers would not be a good gift. Okay,
let me just.

Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
Yes, yeah, hanger. This is a little impersonal. Yeah, it's
like I just noticed we needed hangers, and I thought
that was dutiful. She was like, yeah, dry is the.

Speaker 1 (01:19:09):
Bone, Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
All right, well we know what not to get outy,
it's not gonna work. Merry Christmas, everybody. Eight days away
from Christmas, I am. I am not ready. That snuck up.
It's not going.

Speaker 5 (01:19:28):
When you're a kid, eight days from Christmas seems like
an eternity.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
I gotta wait eight days and right now it's like Jesus,
oh my god, eight days. Oh am, I gonna do this?

Speaker 5 (01:19:40):
Who can I give card? That's where I'm at right Yeah,
in the shopping I think people are gonna get a
lot of beef logs for me this year. It's gonna
be a lot of beef log A lot of beeflog.

Speaker 3 (01:19:51):
Not a euphemism.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
He no, I'm talking Hickory farms, the summer sausages, the
beef log. There was nothing grand as a child to
me than going to the Mill Creek mall where I
grew up and with my dad, who knew everybody, so
he'd be like, here's twenty dollars, go buy your siblings something.
I would run to the record store and buy them
all pins from bands, like here's a led Zeppelin pin,

(01:20:16):
here's an aerosmith pin and every one of my siblings
I would buy them like a pin for their jean jacket.
You know, Okay, I'm done buying for them, and now
I get to roam the mall during Christmas. And there
was nothing quite like it because you would run. First
of all, you had a hard time getting past the
orange Julius without that whift just.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Aspirin. All it smells like baby aspirin.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
And you'd want to go over and get one of those,
but you knew you had to wait because you had
to see how much you could get at the hickory
farms first, and once that supply ran out, you were screwed.
And there was always a guy there who was just
hired for the holidays holding a glue plate that had
uh you know, heating heated plate there and it had

(01:21:03):
like the hot mustard on it and it was like
all hot and everything. And they chunks of sausage with
a toothpick. It was like, how many toothpicks would end
up in your pocket by the time you left there?
How many times could you do the oh what's this
without him be included into all right, kid, you've eaten
half the sausage. But that was you know, the goal,

(01:21:25):
get there and eat as much free sausage as you can,
and then you know, you probably go home with one
of them.

Speaker 5 (01:21:29):
Would you turn your hat around backwards, get out of here.
It must have excuse me, but it like the Christmas
music would be going. So that's what I always remember.

Speaker 8 (01:21:41):
When we.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
Were kids, we did Christmas visits to all of our
aunts and uncles and my dad's and my parents' friends
when we were much younger, and it would be like
this night we went in exchange presence with all, you know,
with these people, and then we'd always get gifts from them,
which was nice when we were younger. It was usually
like a sweater or something, nothing big, But the allure
was the cheese and meatray because we knew we could

(01:22:05):
go and pick app And when six kids run into
your house, I mean what, it's just a bad deal
for everybody that let us visit, you know, because we'd
run in and just eat everything.

Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
But every one of.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
Those places had that hickory farms beef stick the summer.
I think it's summer sausage. It's like you know what
I'm talking about. It had like a rind around it.
Sometimes you eat the rind. Who knew?

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
I do? We eat it? Just better be safe. Let's
eat it. It's roughige it'll help clear out the beef stick.
You have to eat that you want to bestick, eat
the packaging.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
And to this day, if I see it, I'm gonna
sit down hot mustard that crush a few beers and
eat way too much of it. That's the food I
am the most looking forward to for Christmas is that stuff,
which is all nitrates and probably not a real animal.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
I still could survive on a charcootery board in that way, girl,
Dinner for me could be me cheese and crackers.

Speaker 3 (01:23:01):
But that's what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
It was like ritz crackers, you know, not in fancy,
maybe a sociable if someone was really getting high falutin,
but it was the early charcut He didn't call it charcooterie.

Speaker 3 (01:23:12):
It was just meats and cheeses.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
And it would be like chunks of ham, squares of ham,
delicious Swiss cheese cheddar that was as exotic as it got. Beefstick, ham,
Swiss cheese cheddar, and then you would just toothpick them all,
eat as many crackers as you could.

Speaker 5 (01:23:29):
That was dinner The finger foods are great because you
can sort of stay mobile and you can eat them
without making like a slob of yourself. If you go
for like a real item, especially at you know, my
wife's family does a huge Christmas Eve party, you get
like a real stuffed pepper or whatever, something you have
to use a knife and for on a flimsy cardboard

(01:23:51):
or plate plate. You run the risk of drunkenly like
piercing it and exploding it upwards.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
Everywhere there is it's a Christmas Eve party that I
have gone to for many many years, but I always
go there last, and it is like dear friends of mine,
who are you know, they're kind of like relatives to me.
But I always get there late and everything's kind of
picked over. But there's usually still enough of the meat
and cheese part of the tree, right, you know, like

(01:24:18):
there may be if you meat balls or rigs or
whatever they had on the stove. But you can do
the drive by on the buffet where the the quacamole's
kind of going bad at that point. Yeah, the veggie
tray is mostly like there's a few celery sticks left
and that's about it. But the carelessness that you can
attack that food at that point in the evening. Is

(01:24:39):
that's just the fun part of the night, where you're
just sticking your hand in a tray of cheese cubes
and going and throwing half of the light beer that
you pull out of the fridge to wash it all down,
going in and getting another one. God, I just love
the whole pageantry of all of that. It really does
say the holidays. One of their uncles that they only

(01:25:00):
talked to once a year is usually sitting in the
corner and nobody's talking to him, like hey, Andy, and
he's like, how you doing a merry Christmas. He's like,
then he just goes back to his house for a year.
I brought the meat and.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
I saw what you did.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
You're welcome. Yeah, he's basically the meat and cheese cuck chair.

Speaker 5 (01:25:20):
Is what you like that?

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
I just wanted to watch you eat it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:25):
Yeah, they're they're dry curiating once you go ahead, get
in there again. Yeah, I have some honey mustard. It's good,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
I'm sorry. Yeah, he's like Jimmy Stewart, Yeah, get in
there again.

Speaker 2 (01:26:01):
I got another one of the car Anyways, happy holidays.
You only got eight days Oh, that's it. And again food.
I can't stress us enough for last minute gifts. Send food,
nobody gets mad.

Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:14):
Since we're talking holidays, actually let's stick with that with
news that hour brought to you by Wind Donations. Some
consumers are abandoning this idea of expensive Christmas gifts for
micro gifting, which I think.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
I like this idea, So choosing.

Speaker 4 (01:26:28):
Multiple smaller presents instead of a single costly item. So
instead of the big, splashy like wow, happy Honda days,
I'm getting you.

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
Like, you know, a bunch of little things. I think
I like this. New research shows the twenty two percent
plan to.

Speaker 4 (01:26:43):
Avoid biding buying any one pricey singular gift this year.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
What do you think? I'm I like.

Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
That because I think that variety. I'm I'm always in
the camp of more as better. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
And if they're smaller gifts, that's fine. One big one
you miss, it's over.

Speaker 6 (01:27:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:27:06):
If you miss, there's no coming back for you and
for the gift giver or the gift receiver. Rather, it's
like hedging your bet.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
Hm.

Speaker 4 (01:27:14):
Also, I mean, I'm not saying this only because there's
a lot of people I didn't buy for yet.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
But I am get it, and then maybe this is
my age too.

Speaker 4 (01:27:25):
I am getting into this mindset that like spending time
with people is also part of the holiday, like that
is kind of the important part. Like maybe just like
all of us being together.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
That's nice. That's a mom. You are full mom mode?

Speaker 9 (01:27:42):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Can I get away with that?

Speaker 6 (01:27:43):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
All I want from your kids? My mom does that
every year with the text message to all of us,
just to remind her all I want this holiday is
time with my kids. And they're all like, yeah, we're
not coming town this year, Mom, but we're going to
FaceTime the hell out of you that I mean, I'll
see her. But she says that every year, and you
have to get her a gift. Well, yeah, okay, she's

(01:28:04):
not being serious.

Speaker 8 (01:28:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:07):
I've never tested it, and I never would. She's eighty three,
and it would be like, you know, every holiday now
is like it's not like I will get her nexte
you never know, you know what I mean. It's like
you really got to try to make all of these
count at this point. Although she seems healthier than every
one of her kids, she's busier than every one of us.

Speaker 5 (01:28:23):
You think one of your siblings will be maybe be
the first through the wall. I'm like, you know, mom
said she didn't want anything, so I didn't. I think
that happened for many years.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
I think, like you know, twenty thirty years ago, when
things were a little tighter, Well, you said you didn't
want nothing. Mall, well I brought a bottle of wine over.
Why don't we enjoy that.

Speaker 4 (01:28:41):
That's the difference between my sister and I one thousand
percent is my mom always says that she I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
Want anything, don't spend your money. Yeah, that makes that
actually upsets me. And I go like, she's out of
her mind, and I will get her something. I've got her.

Speaker 4 (01:28:59):
Clothes, will go out of I will go out of
my way. I'm like, this is a trick and I
can't do that. My sister's like, I haven't bought her
anything twenty or is that what you're talking about? That
woman says she doesn't want anything.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
And I don't care. And I bet your mom is
one fine with that. We are treated as equals even
though we are not. We are not there. There's I
have no extra equity.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
I'm my favorite was always well why don't we do
the somebody buy one big gift from all of us
and then we'll all sign it right like back in
the day. And I was always like, that never works
because whoever like wrights the cards, she knows that're the
person who organized it, and did.

Speaker 5 (01:29:39):
Ever they're the quarterback. Yeah, see, it's always clear, very clear.
Well now though, I do like again not to keep
laboring the point. I'll send her like a box of
wine and be like, here's your wine for the holidays,
and she psyched for that because then she doesn't have
to run, you know, if you're saving her from running errands,
that's like a good one because why am I gonna

(01:29:59):
get an eaties for your like you know, here's a hoodie, you.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
Know what I mean, Like Lululemon, like got you some
yoga pants. There's not a lot, you know, other than
getting her like you know, new majh on tiles. I
don't know what it would, what would get her excited.

Speaker 3 (01:30:16):
Just have to make people's lives easier, that's it. Yeah,
all right.

Speaker 4 (01:30:20):
HBO Max has released the first trailer for the upcoming
second season of the Pit of Course, the hit medical
drama stars Noah Wiley, but it's.

Speaker 3 (01:30:31):
Set here in Pittsburgh, and that's what we care about
the most.

Speaker 6 (01:30:33):
I did.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
Did you see that Scott Blazy posted that gets some Clark's.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
Love so the The opening of the first episode of
season two features the Clark's Better Off Without You and
a beautiful aerial shot of the I Think the Warhol
Bridge and Noah Wiley, an eer surgeon passing an AMBI

(01:31:00):
on the bridge with his motorcycle.

Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
On his motorcycle not wearing a helmet. It's ridiculous. It
angers me. You should never pass an emergency vehicle like that.
I'm here to tell you. Yeah, yes, even if you're like,
hey boys, I'm one of you.

Speaker 5 (01:31:17):
Yeah, which I don't think the medics are like, hey,
that's the doctor from.

Speaker 3 (01:31:25):
You know, he's not.

Speaker 5 (01:31:25):
Getting them a Christmas gift, right, He's just rudely passing
them on the dangerous, dangerous to do.

Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
Don't put a helmet. You would know who he was.

Speaker 5 (01:31:35):
You could see his face if he wore one of
those cool guy helmets.

Speaker 3 (01:31:40):
Yeah, you'd still know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
Yeah, he could put like doctor I can't remember what
his name, Robin, like you know what I mean, like on.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
His chest or something you wear scrubs.

Speaker 5 (01:31:49):
If people had to know you were the big shot,
or just show him at his house putting on the
helmet and then cut to that shot so that we
know that it's him, right, Yeah, something like that, because,
as was pointed out by numerous people on those posts
on social media, there is no er doctor who would

(01:32:10):
not wear a helmet. Now you'd question them. You'd be like,
wait a second, like you're in like see it, you're
in traction. You're like, wait, you're the guy that doesn't
wear the helmet. Yeah, I don't know if I could
take I could take your care seriously.

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
I mean, if you don't want to wear a helmet,
you know, there's arguments for it and whatever, you know,
the cost to you know, rescuing people in those situations.
It's the law, you don't have to wear a helmet.
But it just seems implausible that a person who has
cared for many people who have wrecked without helmets would
be recklessly passing ambulances without a helmet.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:32:50):
That is also I believe the scene in which they
got in trouble with the city. Do you remember we
talked about that they didn't have a permit to film
that scene in particular, and they were going to film
it so early in the morning that they kind of
figure They're like it's a drone shot, and like who's

(01:33:11):
gonna say fucking and it's like before really traffick.

Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
Yeah, And so they just went for it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:19):
And because there was an ambulance that they were kind
of like trying to time for when it was going.

Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
Because it was like they were like, he's going to
pass the ambulance.

Speaker 20 (01:33:28):
So like they made this decision on multiple levels before
they decided, you know, like the er doctor without the
helmet's going to pass the ambulance, Like that went through
several tests before they decided to go for it anyway, But.

Speaker 5 (01:33:41):
The ambulance was part of it, Okay, it wasn't like
they didn't just pass a random ambulance.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
No, it was on purpose.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
Okay, extra Dome, but they got in trouble with the
city because they didn't have a permit to film it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
Well, I'll tell you what, we could earn half of
that Clark's album if they would have showed him waiting
get those traffic lights at Alleghanty West because those take forever.
You just sit there and you're like, why am I
even waiting for? There's no traffic coming around here at all.
Nova Place is sitting there, there's nobody there. Four traffic
lights to go fifty yards, and You're like, I can

(01:34:12):
see East Ohio Street. Why I'm just turning.

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
I don't care. I'm going through.

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
Ah, there's a penny on the hooks Mercury Clark song
number five. The guy's still sitting there.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
Yeah, it's gonna jump in.

Speaker 5 (01:34:33):
But this is a fun take on Springsteen's The River Vincent. Well, yeah,
still not even over to see her.

Speaker 4 (01:34:42):
I don't know if you saw this footage the door
dash worker who was caught on a doorbell cam spraying
a mystery substance.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
I did see that on the delivery order.

Speaker 4 (01:34:52):
She claimed that she was aiming at a spider when
she sprayed the food. Her name was Courtney ste She
was seen on footage uh delivering Arby's to a doorstep
of an Indiana home.

Speaker 3 (01:35:06):
She took the confirmation picture and then.

Speaker 4 (01:35:09):
You see her spraying an aerosol substance onto the bag.

Speaker 3 (01:35:15):
What I bless you, bless you, bless you.

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
She says that she was trying to scare away a
spider when she was tracked down by the cops. But
Mandy and Mark Carden had complained that after they ate
their food, they vomited and suffered from burning sensations and
their throats and mouths, according to their beems. She told
detectives that she had been staying with her father in
Indiana took the job at door Dash during her visit.

(01:35:42):
According to Fox News, but yeah, they noticed as soon
as they started eating, they started kind of choking and gasping,
and uh, she's.

Speaker 16 (01:35:51):
I keep eating it, and I keep getting how about you? Yeah,
horsor shock right violently?

Speaker 3 (01:36:03):
Ill me too, keep going. What was the spray? They
think it might have been pepper spray, Yeah, some reason.
I don't think you would I couldn't take the bag
in Probably that's what I would think.

Speaker 2 (01:36:18):
I would think there'd be like a fog on the
porch that would make it kind of hard to even
want to eat that food.

Speaker 3 (01:36:25):
Now you know my thoughts on DoorDash. This is the
price of doing business.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
If you were venturing into the wild wild West of
food delivery, but with people who have absolutely no training
about food handling at all. It's just any random can
go Yes, I will deliver food to your mouth and
you won't have to leave rad This is the risk
you take. Sometimes you get your chicken sandwich gets pepper sprayed.

(01:36:50):
That's just the price of doing wid potentially involved. Yeah,
I would rather eat the spider, let the spider into
the bag. Yeah, but I do think it's funny. She
took the picture and then.

Speaker 5 (01:37:05):
You get this picture off. Now I can do whatever
to the food. I received the highest compliment from a
DoorDash driver one time. I ordered a pizza, which doing
that on door dash is like prohibitively expensive. It's like, eh,
it's Friday night when I have a couple of drinks
sit on my porch. The DoorDash driver was one block
away when they with the pizza. They canceled the order

(01:37:29):
and just disappeared forever with the pizza.

Speaker 3 (01:37:32):
No one block away. What happened? They took the pizza.
They just it smelt so good.

Speaker 5 (01:37:38):
I guess so I guess they were like, wow, pepperoni
and onion. This guy's an innovator. They're like, this job
sucks anyway, and I'm hungry. Yeah, I wonder what happens
at that point. No, they just refunded. I had, you know,
you have to fill out like an online form and
be like they they took it just like the DoorDash
detective come to your house.

Speaker 3 (01:37:57):
So when did you order this? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Likely story, like check your old ordering history. One of
your buddies didn't abscond with the pizza? Am I to
believed that?

Speaker 20 (01:38:11):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:38:13):
It's the wild wild West when you're doing that. I
hate the idea of it swishing around in there. This
is why anytime that I have an uber and I'm like,
if we stop a few ordays, I'll buy you a slice,
and the driver's like, in.

Speaker 3 (01:38:25):
Do you have to kind of cut them in on it?

Speaker 2 (01:38:27):
So I think that they should give you the option
of do you want to share your food with the
DoorDash driver.

Speaker 5 (01:38:32):
Tip like you can have two cuts? Yes, when you
deliver it, I will give you two slices. Don't cherry
pick them, just take two side by side cuts. Yeah,
no corner slices on a square pocket. You've been in
a gross suber before. You've been in a gross stridesharing thing.
And then you imagine that person with the pizza on
the front seat just sitting there.

Speaker 2 (01:38:54):
And their dog hair like you know, just hair, anything
that is in that car floating around landing in your
food like French fries open bag. I wonder what the percentage.
I wonder what the percentage is of people who eat
French fries.

Speaker 5 (01:39:14):
Oh pretty, Oh you gotta you gotta kick up a
little extra, little something for the effort little.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
The fry tacks. I'm sure it's levied consistently. We got
here rooting through the bag.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Yeah, you almost have to order like food that is
trifle proof, Like you can't get into it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:35):
You know what I mean, and mess with it. Yeah,
but you can mess with anything, that's true. Why are
we allowing this now?

Speaker 5 (01:39:42):
That I think because we're that lazy and we keep
paying for Like if you look for look at how
much you pay extra for door dash to deliver something
versus what you would get at the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (01:39:54):
It is incredible how much they're cranking those up. The
price is same with Instacart. If you're getting groceries, everything
is more expensive than if you actually just go to
the store. And there's times where I'm still contemplating doing it,
and I'm like, it would take me ten minutes to
do this, and yet right I'm thinking about spending twenty
two dollars to let someone else do it.

Speaker 4 (01:40:15):
Do what happened that Instacart with me is like there
was a day that I think I was so slammed,
and I'm like, I just got to do a quick instacrt.
I there's just no way I'm getting this done. It's
going to screw up dinner. It's going to kind of
screw up everything I do in instacart. Order I see
that it gets delivered, I'm like, misering, I'm going to
go out like a little gobblin and go get all
my groceries from the stoop.

Speaker 3 (01:40:35):
I pulled everything in and I start unpacking. It all
smells like a cigarette. Whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:40:40):
That's fine, that's what I that's what we bargained for.
I start to put everything away. They are not my groceries,
not even close to my grocery. And then I'm trying
to go back in the app and I'm trying to
like cont because they can't be that far. And I'm
just like, turn around, come back with mine, and I'll
give you these before I unpack them all. And you
can't do that, Like they're gone. They are smoke. Guys

(01:41:04):
are so say gone there, so I can't get them
to come back. And the Instacrt's like, just keep the
groceries and we will refund you what you wanted. I'm like,
that helps me with dinner none percent. But Okay, this
woman somehow does end up contacting me or I think
maybe she rang the doorbell and she came back and

(01:41:24):
she was like, I have your groceries. I'm really sorry.
I'm like, I unpacked everything that you brought. She was like,
I have the receipt. Can you just put it all
back in the bag and we'll swap And I'm like,
I guess some of it was produced, so and it
has now touched my refrigerator, like and we just kind
of like.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
Did this stare at each other. I'm like, I guess
I'm gonna do that. So somebody got groceries that like
I touched and we put them back in the bag
and groceries. But I was like, I guess that's what
we're doing, so like we used to be a society.
I don't know, I don't know why we're doing this.

Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
I think a fun prank to play if you are
a DoorDash driver would be if they got like a
fountain drink is to just put the straw in it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:11):
Here you go, why is the straw? I just I
just did that part for you. Tell he's a little
you don't have to welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:42:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:42:19):
I set you up. I just set you up. Did
you sip it?

Speaker 5 (01:42:24):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:42:25):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:42:26):
I just set you up. But that's all.

Speaker 5 (01:42:29):
Got it?

Speaker 3 (01:42:29):
Yeah, I'm like a concierge.

Speaker 5 (01:42:31):
You know. It's like wiping your seat off before you
sit down. Just straw, Gia, that's all. Just want a
minute from my pocket? All right, Cloudy with Eye forty.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Six today, Mark Madden, Missy Matthews and more coming up
on the morning.

Speaker 12 (01:42:47):
Show Buckle up DVEST Chad Tyson as your soundtrack for
the road. He's got a reloaded cut from the DV
morning show Sports and a workforce commercial Free hour at
three after Newlands with Chad Tyson on DVE from.

Speaker 18 (01:43:04):
The Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service, Bridgeville
Appliance is looking for exceptional service spoards.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
Mike Persuda has got your sports right now on the
DBE Morning Show. Steelers Lions for twenty five kickoff in
the Motor City this Sunday. Here on your radio home
of the Steelers DVE Sports.

Speaker 3 (01:43:21):
I brought to you by Bridgeville aplients.

Speaker 11 (01:43:23):
Not a lot of updates from Mike Tomlin yesterday, and
I get that because it was about twelve hours after
the Steelers had beaten the Dolphins on Monday night. Tomlin
has no new information slash news, slash update on TJ
watts status. You can say the same thing for Isaac Sam, Malu,
tricep and Nick herbig hamstring. It's gonna be one of

(01:43:45):
those wait and see weeks. It does appear as if
Derek Harmon is going to be able to play at
least tominm sure made it sound like that yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:43:52):
I don't know which one is more troubling, say Malu
or herbig well, depending on TJ wats availability there. I
mean if you lose two edge guys, I mean all
of a sudden, what used to have a position that
had depth pretty thin?

Speaker 1 (01:44:08):
Yeah, pretty thin.

Speaker 11 (01:44:09):
I think they need to score as many points as
they possibly can to survive this game.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
So having a garden, the ability to do the jumbo
package and protect, yeah, because I want to hold onto
the ball here, I want to run the ball. I
want to use gain Well, I want to use Jalen
Warren keep.

Speaker 11 (01:44:26):
Yeah, it's gonna be not one of those fine line
kind of games because you're gonna have to hold the ball,
but you're gonna have to score when you're done holding it,
you know.

Speaker 8 (01:44:33):
What I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:44:34):
And well they did that three times this past weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:44:37):
Yeah, and it works.

Speaker 11 (01:44:38):
Monday, there were a couple interesting tidbits yesterday from Mike Tomlin.
He talked about going for it on fourth down from
his own twenty nine on the second possession of the game,
and that was basically to possess the ball more than
it was to try to have a high scoring game.

Speaker 3 (01:44:54):
Yeah, Like the goal was.

Speaker 11 (01:44:56):
They knew they had to stop the Miami run, had
to the or they had no chance, and they knew
they had to do that with offense as well as
with defense and keep it away from them.

Speaker 5 (01:45:07):
It's weird, though, with the Steel City shove they call it.
It has a high success rate, and I never trust it.
Every time I see it, I'm like, oh no, no, sure, okay,
they got it.

Speaker 3 (01:45:20):
Yeah. I tell you who does trust it, Mike Tomlin,
and he trusts all of his tight ends.

Speaker 13 (01:45:26):
I think it's been reliable the whole time we've done it.
I'm man, maybe we've only failed once in Chicago. It
just speaks to the versatility that we have in the
tight end room.

Speaker 8 (01:45:37):
We've talked a lot about it. We got a deep
and diverse tight end group.

Speaker 13 (01:45:43):
Darnell is a point of attack, run blocker John who
was good run after you saw that. In a lot
of ways, we threw them a screen. We pissed him
a toss. Muth is his own killer. You saw that
last night. And Connor's a jack of all trades. He's
a four faced special teamer. He does things like that
for us, and so I think that's just more of

(01:46:03):
a reflective of the deep and diverse group that we
have at that position.

Speaker 11 (01:46:08):
Technically, it's failed twice because they didn't make a third
down against Miami, so they just went ahead and did
it again on fourth down and made it the one
in Chicago. I think they actually converted and it was
a bad spot and where was replay assist then chiming
in to change the spot? Remember that play which one

(01:46:32):
the one in Chicago? Connor Heyward?

Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
Yeah, oh yeah, that was a first down, yeah, and
they didn't get it.

Speaker 11 (01:46:38):
They also false started on one in Cincinnati, which turned
out to be a big deal because they were going.

Speaker 1 (01:46:44):
Forward on fourth and one.

Speaker 11 (01:46:47):
In Bangles territory and then they moved it to fourth
and sixth and they kicked the field goal instead of
potentially scoring a touchdown. Any game, they lost by two points,
so it all adds up, but they think they got
something going there.

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
Steelers at the line on Sunday. Penguins.

Speaker 11 (01:47:03):
Interesting night out of PPG Paints Arena last night. Tristan
Jari and goal for your Edmonton Oilers, Stuart Skinner in
goal for your Pittsburgh Penguins. And each guy was still
wearing the mask from his old team because they had
had time to yn't get a new one painted yet
since since the trade.

Speaker 2 (01:47:21):
Was it the Moose and when he came from Saskatoon
or whatever, and he still he had to wear his
Uba man.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Yeah, he had to wear the minor league helmet for
a while.

Speaker 11 (01:47:32):
Sidney Crosby with an assistant the Penguins six to four loss,
and he is now one point behind Mario Lemieux for
first play.

Speaker 3 (01:47:42):
The guy was there last night.

Speaker 11 (01:47:43):
In all time Penguins points, Lemieux had one thousand, seven
hundred and twenty three points in nine hundred and fifteen
career games. Crosby's now at one thousand, seven hundred and
twenty two in one thousand and thirty three hundred and
eighty four games, also lean dry citle of the Oilers
four assists. He became the first German born player to

(01:48:06):
go over one thousand career points.

Speaker 1 (01:48:12):
Nobody reacted to that. I don't know what you want
to all time.

Speaker 3 (01:48:17):
Well, hey, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:48:20):
That's there aren't a lot of German greats in the
nhlay A lot.

Speaker 1 (01:48:25):
Of German mediocres just starting.

Speaker 11 (01:48:27):
A lot of Germans, not a lot of Germans playing hockey.
Penguins have lost six in a row, hardest gating, later hosting,
you know. Plus they're usually invading Poland or something. Usually
get practice one time. Do they call you just at
be the bridge builder. No, Pens are in trouble.

Speaker 1 (01:48:51):
They are.

Speaker 3 (01:48:52):
They are coming on glued just in time for Christmas.

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
No, they gave us six weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:48:58):
It was pretty fun. Yeah, the Crosby thing will be
a big deal when it happens.

Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
Yeah, I'm sorry it didn't happen with Mario and the
hass Well, I mean he can go again, he won't,
you know, obviously won and done in Yep, back to
Montreal playing in ottawas.

Speaker 3 (01:49:21):
A bunch of beavers.

Speaker 11 (01:49:22):
He can go there, or they could sit sid and
then the Penguins play at Montreal.

Speaker 1 (01:49:27):
He could do it there.

Speaker 3 (01:49:28):
They appreciate him up there. They love him in Montreal
since he started winning them gold medals.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
Yeah, before that, though not so much. You know, there's
a great sitcom about Newfoundland that's on Netflix right now.
I can't remember. It's like something The Richest Family or
something like that any rates. It's like Malcolm in the
Middle kind of thing. But it's all about like growing

(01:49:53):
up in Newfoundland. And the whole time I'm like, Wow,
Sidney Crosby grew up here. And then I'm like, wait, no,
he didn't. What's like five episodes and I'm like, it's crazy.
He grew up this far away and like Nova Scotia, Newfoundland.
I don't know where anything is up there. I don't
know what anything is there. It goes forever, it's all
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:50:10):
Goes a long way.

Speaker 3 (01:50:10):
It goes forever.

Speaker 8 (01:50:11):
By the way.

Speaker 11 (01:50:12):
I before I went home and crashed very early. I
had to cleanse my palette a little bit. So I
watched your Gordon Lightfoot documentary. Wait wait, the Edmund Fitzcherald
or the Gordon Lightfoot one. The Gordon light It's awesome
isn't it. It's very good. It's I had no idea
that guy's depth. I mean, I liked about four or
five of his tunes, but I had no idea who
he was or how.

Speaker 2 (01:50:31):
Much they heard Morning Read because the songs, you're like,
this guy's lame, you know, and but he's not.

Speaker 3 (01:50:38):
And he was a boozer and a partier and a
total Canadian. Like he was the party.

Speaker 11 (01:50:43):
He was like the life of the party of that
entire scene, and like Dylan loved him. And I felt
this way before I saw it, but this just reinforced.
I think one of the most chilling lyrics I've ever
heard is does anyone know where the Love of God goes?
When the waves turned the minutes to yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:51:00):
And he just and he just had that sitting around.
He's like, I don't know, boys, I gotta go. One's
sitting here. We could try this, so I guess Sea
Shanty not really done yet. And they're like, well, let's
heart Cordo and he does the Wreck of the Dmit Fitzgerald.

Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
Yeah, what the hell?

Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
And that's the version they end up using. Wow, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:51:17):
But the fact that he was like just party central,
you know, because you don't think about him that way.
And then it was weird how he evolved, like he
turned into like.

Speaker 5 (01:51:28):
A crypt keeper looking dude when he got older, and
like him an old man with super long hair, and
he got kind of that's not a good look.

Speaker 1 (01:51:35):
I know, I know, you want to be a rock
guy or or whatever. Just you know, give it up.

Speaker 3 (01:51:40):
YEA.

Speaker 2 (01:51:42):
Even weirder is the Gordon Lightfoot impersonator guy who can't
sing in any of the original keys. But Gordon Lightfoot
loved him, but he loved him, he loved him. He's like,
this guy's awesome. He does all my songs. He's like
his Gallagher too. And then the guy said he can't
even do the original keys, which make it sound like
a completely different song. I don't know everything about him.

(01:52:04):
It's just so Canadian. That one was on It was
it on Prime? I think, yes, Yeah, there's several on there. Yeah,
there's a Southern rock one and there's a Dylan one.
The Gordon Lightfoot one's really good. Highly recommend him, Abby.
You'll have your news coming up at the top of
the hour.

Speaker 4 (01:52:19):
Is the season we're going to talk about the white
lies that parents tell to their kids.

Speaker 2 (01:52:24):
Also Missy Matthews, Mark Madden still to come here on
the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:52:29):

Speaker 3 (01:53:08):
No not there? I have her on air.

Speaker 2 (01:53:10):
I gotta hurt the button because I did. I did,
and sometimes you don't, I you know, but this time
I did. Missy's there now, I believe Hi Missy No, yeah,
I don't know. Jacob says, it's on air on my
end of the line here, okay, So that gives me
a second, Abby to bring up the fact that we're

Speaker 4 (01:53:46):
Tiny Wars, Clinton Clake of the common Heart, Kelsey Friday,

Band and Saledonia Morgan Arena And you can grab tickets
go to mister Smalls dot com or there's also a
page dedicated to it at DVE dot com. And major

(01:54:06):
kudos to Rob James of the Clerks, who is putting
this on. This was a cause that thought would be
really important this time of year, and we agree. There
was a rehearsal last night and I know that things
were starting to come together for the show, but this
is always an effort again of all of these local
musicians who bring a ton of heart to just pull
it together.

Speaker 3 (01:54:26):
So again, it's coming up on Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:54:28):
If you have not grabbed tickets yet, you can at
mister Smalls dot com or DV dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:54:32):
I was at the rehearsal last night. It's going to
be a banger and it's all for a great cause. Also,
Rob James and the Clerks want me to reiterate that
they are.

Speaker 8 (01:54:38):
They do.

Speaker 3 (01:54:39):
They're not about like the controversy in the h the pit.

Speaker 4 (01:54:45):
They don't want you on your motorcycle without a helmet
crossing an ambulance.

Speaker 2 (01:54:49):
No yet, but they will tell you what is you
not wearing a helmet because Scott doesn't wear a helmet
on the on the cover of one of their records,
I think on his solo record, he's riding down the
highway without a helmet.

Speaker 3 (01:55:01):
Okay, So they're just not going to ambulance though. Yes,
they're not going to tell you what to do with
your life.

Speaker 4 (01:55:06):
Yes, but also if they if they were your er doctor,
they would wear a helmet.

Speaker 3 (01:55:12):
They will sing to you they're better off without rules.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
Missy Matthews is joining us right now from the Steelers
Audio Network. I think we finally got you on air.
High Missy, Hi, can you hear me? Oh my god,
you delayed a little bit, and I thought Jesus three
times in a row, we can't do that. How cold
were you.

Speaker 3 (01:55:30):
On Monday night?

Speaker 7 (01:55:32):
Okay, so it was not as bad as I thought
it was going to be. But I will preface I
am like the biggest baby. I had on a heated
vest I had on like mittens, you know, I did
like all the things to stay warm, but I was
anticipating it to be worse. I think probably because the
wind wasn't really a factor that usually, you know, when
you're just getting flamed in the face, makes you want

(01:55:54):
to just start crying. But that, yeah, it just it
was not that. And I was pleasantly surprised by how
many fans were there and stayed the entire time, because
I at least moved during the game, Like I can't
imagine just sitting there.

Speaker 3 (01:56:11):
No, no, I know, well, Tad, you were there. Yeah,
I was there.

Speaker 5 (01:56:15):
I also was moving the whole time to get beers
and go to the bathroom constantly.

Speaker 7 (01:56:20):
So important stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:56:22):
Yes, but the Steelers moved the ball, that's for sure
on Monday night.

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
And it was nice to see, first of all from
a Steeler fan perspective that one of my buddies was
saying to me last say, He's like, I just needed
that game. I needed to see that we weren't a
complete mess and that the Baltimore game wasn't a fluke.
And I think that as bad as Miami was, and
let's face it, Tua was not great, that this is

(01:56:47):
still a jumping off point for the Steelers that they
can use these two games in a row to re
establish what they've been trying to do for a while
and been inconsistent at.

Speaker 3 (01:56:56):
And that's the time of possession.

Speaker 2 (01:56:58):
Reflected that they were able to have a balanced attack
with the running game coming out in the second half, running.

Speaker 3 (01:57:04):
The ball five straight times missy.

Speaker 2 (01:57:06):
Finally they established a ground game, but with Kenneth gainwell mostly.

Speaker 7 (01:57:11):
Yeah, I mean, I agree, it was like good for
the soul tape, a win and it was Monday night,
just what it was. Yes, yes, yes, I actually ate
some chicken soup at halftime, but it was just great
to see. And I think the you know, scoring a
touchdown on four straight drive, that's where you were like, okay,

(01:57:34):
this feels different, bookending halftime with scores, time of possession.
Haven't won that all year, running more plays than the opponent.
It just felt like they were able to play BULLI
ball on both sides and do what they wanted to do. Obviously,
Aaron Rodgers was masterful and a lot of things that
he did just that throat in DK metcalf DK just
you know, pulling a Darnell Washington and not let guys

(01:57:56):
take him down. And I think just looking back to
last year at the point things were going south and
not that I wanted to go through what we went through.
I feel like, you know, mid season at least, it
feels like we're aero pointed up to steal a coach
tomlinism in terms of the end of this season, So
hopefully it continues. It's not gonna be easy in Detroit.

(01:58:18):
They're facing elimination from the playoffs, so.

Speaker 9 (01:58:21):
This is gonna be a good game.

Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
Dylan Cook really comported himself nicely.

Speaker 2 (01:58:26):
If you go that far down the depth chart, it's
reasonable to assume that you're not going to get a
first class effort there, but that wasn't the case.

Speaker 3 (01:58:34):
I thought he had an outstanding money.

Speaker 7 (01:58:35):
Night game, absolutely, and you know, they definitely had a
lot of confidence in him. You know, the Oline guys are,
they're a tight knit group. They support each other, and
I think they're young, they're different. You know, seeing Marky Pouncy,
David Castro alvill in Aueva and then at the game
this weekend, you forget what a group like that is
like until there's some consistency and kind of watching them

(01:58:58):
grow together but no offense to Dylan Cook. He was
one of those guys that in my preseason note, you know,
obviously being a quarterback turned offensive line and that's a
little different on most people's story, but if I have
notes on you, that's because during the preseason a lot
of the starters don't play. But I just think phenomenal
drow by him even when he didn't have as much

(01:59:19):
help and he was going against you know, some really
good defensive guys. So clearly this week another tough challenge
depending on what happens of who's starting if Pete didn't
get that out of concussion protocol. But I just thought
he played phenomenal. And I think, you know, the the
Aaron Rodgers confidence and speaking positively about teammates and things

(01:59:41):
like that they follow and that kind of rubs off
on guys, and I think that was a perpose example
with Dylan Cook.

Speaker 3 (01:59:48):
That was as good as Aaron Rodgers gets on Monday Night.

Speaker 7 (01:59:52):
That was fun, like you know, getting them with an
extra guy on the field, just those little air Rodgers
things that you hated when you played, yes him, but
you love when he's your guy.

Speaker 2 (02:00:03):
Yeah, that was really I mean, that was such a
sharp move by him on that, and there's just not
a lot of quarterbacks that are going to do that.

Speaker 11 (02:00:10):
And then he had to go tell what, there's not
a lot that are going to get that ball to
Metcalf either.

Speaker 3 (02:00:14):
Oh ya, no, I mean what a throw? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:00:18):
What a throw?

Speaker 3 (02:00:19):
Before all the Metcalf do you think he even saw
that it was the safety coming over.

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
He just said, I can get this in there.

Speaker 3 (02:00:27):
I was a bullet, yeah, no question.

Speaker 2 (02:00:30):
Uh, Aaron Rodgers, the confidence seems to be spilling over
to the offense a little bit, and that doesn't seem
to be coincidental with the arrival of Feeling and mvs.

Speaker 3 (02:00:41):
NO.

Speaker 7 (02:00:41):
And I mean, you know, I feel like he kind of,
you know, was going to back for MBS. Obviously they
have a history. But even before he signed to the
Steelers practice squad, when he came in for a visit
or workout, he didn't sign, and Aaron said, yeah, you know,
I think it's you know, he wants to be on
the fifty three type deal and then maybe who knows
what didn't work out elsewhere, and then decided a week later,

(02:01:04):
all right, I'll do the practice squad thing. And then
you know, Aaron kept getting questions about it, and he
did the whole above my pay. Great thing, but how
great to see when it did come to fruition that
they were able to connect somebody that he knows, and
Aaron spoke, you know about just the level of intensity
at practice with him and Adam feelen and you can

(02:01:25):
just tell, and I'm sure Trip can attest to this,
like Steelin is just overjoyed to be here. Clearly he's not,
you know, catching two touchdowns a game, not in the
prime of his career. But you can just tell this
change of scenery coming here, as hard as it probably is,
you know, just doing it so last minute. His family
is still in Minnesota, that this is this is good

(02:01:47):
for him, and I feel like it's good.

Speaker 3 (02:01:48):
For the offense as well, no question about it.

Speaker 5 (02:01:52):
Steelers and Detroit a four to twenty five game Sunday,
Ford Field in Detroit.

Speaker 3 (02:01:57):
At least you won't be cold on the sidelines for
this one. See, I know, I'm pumped.

Speaker 7 (02:02:02):
I just our plane. I just saw West Ruler text
our radio group that the Dolphins didn't leave Pittsburgh until
three am because they were de icing their plane.

Speaker 5 (02:02:11):
Oh, insult to injury just sitting there everyone's staring at you.

Speaker 3 (02:02:18):
Too. It's like you guys want to play cards. They're
like no, no, we're good and no we quit. Yeah,
we're gonna stop. We're get to sleep this one off.

Speaker 2 (02:02:28):
Missy'll be alongside Rob King and Max Starks this Sunday
for twenty five on the Steelers Audio Network. Right here,
you're Radio Home with the Black and Gold DV. Thank you, Missy,
Thanks guys, Missy Brecky by Boris and Boredis. This morning,
Abby's got your news when we return.

Speaker 4 (02:02:45):
Major Pittsburgh Highway with a temporary closure that's happening in
about an hour or givia the details.

Speaker 5 (02:02:49):
Double m Mark Madden nine. I'm Jamie Bortis. What makes
our law from great are a lot of the same
things that make the Steelers great, guaranteed human.

Speaker 2 (02:03:05):
One of their uncles that they only talked to once
a year is usually sitting in the corner and nobody's
talking to him, like hey, Andy, and he's like, how
you doing.

Speaker 3 (02:03:12):
Alright, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 5 (02:03:14):
He's like, then he just goes back to his house
for a year. I brought the meat and gee, I
saw what you did.

Speaker 3 (02:03:20):
You're welcome. Yeah. He's basically the meat and h cheese.
Cuck chair is what he said.

Speaker 13 (02:03:27):
You like that?

Speaker 3 (02:03:28):
I just wanted to watch you eat it.

Speaker 5 (02:03:30):
M Yeah, they're they're dry period. Once you go ahead,
get in there again. Yeah, have some honey mustard. It's good,
isn't it. I'm sorry, Yeah, get another word.

Speaker 21 (02:03:54):
He's like Jimmy Stewart, Brandy Bellman and the DV morning
show Tad whistles with us.

Speaker 2 (02:04:04):
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
christmaswater and then he goes back into his home for
a year. Yeah, we have to get Uncle Bernard back out.
It's Christmas. I brought a beef log Abbey's here. What's

(02:04:26):
your beef?

Speaker 3 (02:04:27):
What's your beefs do news?

Speaker 4 (02:04:30):
This hours brought to my 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 3 (02:04:44):
This is different hours. It's an ongoing bridge project.

Speaker 4 (02:04:49):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:05:01):
So for deliveries to occur, large trucks have to travel.

Speaker 4 (02:05:04):
On southbound I seventy nine, inbound on the Parkway West,
and inbound on the Parkway.

Speaker 3 (02:05:09):
West to the plaza outside of the Squirrel Hill Tunnel.

Speaker 4 (02:05:12):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:05:22):
This is something that we've seen before.

Speaker 4 (02:05:24):
Those beamed deliveries kind of 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 it's happening starting at ten am.

Speaker 3 (02:05:35):
I tried to do it with grubhub and they totally
turn it down. Cars. I'm glad to know what bridge
it's going to. Yeah, it makes you feel like progress
a little bit at a time. Yeah, I'm going to
take a minute so.

Speaker 5 (02:05:51):
Our bridges won't all just start falling out of the
sky again. Well that's good enough, seriously.

Speaker 3 (02:05:59):
Good to know. All right, I missed this on the
Pittsburgh scanner, and.

Speaker 2 (02:06:03):
That was like when that bridge fell over and 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 5 (02:06:18):
It fell at five am, and had it fallen almost
any other time, yeah, it would have been disastrous. Yes,
how about five pm? Right, And because it wasn't, we're like, oh,
whoa got away with one there?

Speaker 3 (02:06:34):
We should make T shirts. Let's make T shirts about this.
Can you believe Fitterman war shorts?

Speaker 1 (02:06:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:06:40):
It was cold, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:06:43):
But a couple of 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.

Speaker 3 (02:06:57):
One of the greatest tragedies was one inch that way.

Speaker 2 (02:07:04):
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 concole had it I can't remember? No, Yeah, no,
he doesn't. Actually he's not like he has a call.
He's not afflicted by it, he just he knew the word.

Speaker 4 (02:07:19):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:07:39):
At other customers.

Speaker 4 (02:07:42):
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 (02:07:57):
It's a real burger king again. It's 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 3 (02:08:12):
I came here for a show.

Speaker 2 (02:08:15):
Because it's the south Side Burger King, and if you
just have a normal burger King experience, it would probably
be a letdown.

Speaker 3 (02:08:20):
We're for Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:08:23):
One time when like when we were younger, and my
brother and I were in a band together and we
played 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. It was that clular no, this is up
and earie and he got a wireless thing on his
guitar and then went out of the bar, still playing

(02:08:44):
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 you know, he
was doing like the buddy guy thing like playing up,
you know, and there's 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

(02:09:05):
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 the five second rule dude
free burger. Yeah, it was a McDonald's cheeseburger being fly
flung around, no problem. Yeah, but that was the only
time I've seen fast food burgers being flung everywhere. My

(02:09:25):
brother just this dude just throwing them all over the bar.
How long did it take one o'clock in the morning.
It was fairly quick. It was fairly quick.

Speaker 8 (02:09:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:09:34):
No, 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? And it
was like objectively bad, you know. Uh, And but when
he came back in with the burgers, it redeemed it. Yeah,
good musically not grant commit hilarious.

Speaker 3 (02:09:56):
All right, tis the season.

Speaker 4 (02:09:58):
We were not going to talk a about the big
Eie 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 (02:10:16):
So I'll give you an example.

Speaker 4 (02:10:17):
Sometimes parents will tell kids we have to sacrifice our
Halloween candy to the great pumpkin.

Speaker 5 (02:10:23):
Okay, I mean, you know, this is to me Easter
Bunny territory.

Speaker 4 (02:10:27):
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 (02:10:34):
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 3 (02:10:39):
Very smart. Yeah, smart move.

Speaker 2 (02:10:41):
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 16 (02:10:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:10:51):
The Great Pumpkin model, though, I think you tell the.

Speaker 2 (02:10:54):
Candy human underground dwellers, the pagan it's just for the
great Pumpkin kids.

Speaker 4 (02:11:00):
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 3 (02:11:08):
And Bernie Sanders wins. This is what happens to your candy.
It's brutal. I like this one. Siri is on vacation.
Say that again, Siri is on vacation. Oh okay, yeah,
I like that. I like that one too.

Speaker 4 (02:11:24):
So that way, you know, she just decides not to
respond for a while and you get your life back
I guess for a while, but I guess that's for
little kids.

Speaker 3 (02:11:34):
They use Siri too.

Speaker 2 (02:11:36):
Is that I would imagine that this is Alexa Siri,
any one of those. Hey, Google, are you on vacation right?
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 (02:11:51):
Yeah, there's no Siri in my house. There's no there's
no talking robots in the house. That's good. It's still
listening to you. Your phone and your computer are listening
to you. What were you guys bringing up, because it
started to haunt me.

Speaker 4 (02:12:05):
You both brought this up, something about closing apps when
you're not using Oh what was was there?

Speaker 3 (02:12:11):
Like an article?

Speaker 6 (02:12:12):
Was there like?

Speaker 3 (02:12:12):
Or was this just something that was I think.

Speaker 2 (02:12:14):
It's like common knowledge. What is it though, 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

(02:12:35):
need to get new bath towels, like my bath towel.
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. You know, it's like

(02:12:56):
they're time. It's time for them to become dog towels
or car towls 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. That's no good,
and I don't like, there is no rational reason why

(02:13:17):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:13:27):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (02:13:28):
It has to be coincidental, right, there's you hope, you're
you're you're trying to eat, you desperately want it to
be or in my sleep, I'm like most good, the
phone's kid one new towels.

Speaker 3 (02:13:42):
I know that I just did this.

Speaker 4 (02:13:43):
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 (02:13:54):
It's terrible. I've said it ten times in front of me.
PSA to everyone. If you haven't updated to twenty six,
don't do it.

Speaker 4 (02:14:01):
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 you need to
turn off, either things that are going to drain your
battery or like things that it's following now, or like

(02:14:22):
the location services, training things.

Speaker 3 (02:14:24):
Turn it off. But then I started getting stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:14:27):
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 none

(02:14:48):
of your emails are private anymore. So you need to
go through your settings and there's one little thing you're
already opted into. You need to click it off to
tell it you're not allowed to use my emails to
train your AI.

Speaker 3 (02:15:03):
Well, the same thing with Instagram. In Facebook, you have
to go in and mainly uncheck that stuff. And now
but I didn't realize that.

Speaker 4 (02:15:11):
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 (02:15:20):
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, if your phone is
on or their phone is on, or there's an Alexa
in the room or something like that. Has has there

(02:15:41):
been millions of hours of people talking about their most
intimate problems being recorded and somehow thrown into some big
digital identity.

Speaker 3 (02:15:56):
Vat for you esteem you've got the cure, Oh, but
I don't know, like.

Speaker 2 (02:16:06):
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, And
they're like, we're gonna tell your boss what you did
unless you purchase this new operating system. We know what
happened at the Christmas party. Yeah, you've got it.

Speaker 5 (02:16:24):
We've got a quick solution. We'll get rid of it.
All you have to do is buy these bath house
at one time purchase. It's a clean slate. Google Turkish
Beth Towels.

Speaker 3 (02:16:36):
I wonder at some point.

Speaker 4 (02:16:37):
We won't be able to be blackmailed because everybody will
have so much dirty laundry.

Speaker 8 (02:16:42):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (02:16:42):
The funniest is now, I have 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 why
they are Yeah, but I will get the spam emails
like every once in a while from people saying like
we have recovered every internet website you have ever gone

(02:17:04):
to you sick It's 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 ballsy cs or aren't you.

Speaker 5 (02:17:19):
Yeah, thinking that we won't use this information against you,
Oh boy, the rocks on you.

Speaker 3 (02:17:29):
Be prepared. Your family and friends will know we have
video of you being a sick sick bastard.

Speaker 5 (02:17:36):
And I think the scattershot of that is there's enough
people who are sick, sick bastards, and they're like, fine, here's.

Speaker 3 (02:17:42):
Four hundred dollars.

Speaker 9 (02:17:43):
Yeah, don't do it.

Speaker 3 (02:17:45):
Don't release the video of me wearing my sister's dress
doing the limbata.

Speaker 8 (02:17:54):
All right.

Speaker 4 (02:17:54):
A couple others that made the list of YouTube kids
got banned. Oh no, then they blame it on Trump,
because you know when TikTok got banned. So parents will
just tell their kids. They'll be like, yeah, Trump band
YouTube kids, Oh so sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:18:08):
Why are they going to make it about Trump? Sleepy
Joe money, don't it exactly? I like this one. They
don't make batteries for that toy anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:18:16):
That's awesome. That's a good one. Let's like Gardell 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 No. Sorry,
I'm so sorry, battery stores closed. A little blue light
on your forehead glows when you lie m and only

(02:18:39):
I can see it, And only I can see it.

Speaker 5 (02:18:42):
I am omnipotent, I am I am the parent. I
am the Alpha and the Omega. Yeah, just make your kid.

Speaker 2 (02:18:50):
Afraid, you know, yeah, exactly. That is hilarious. Make your
kid think that you are like a god. I show
you everything.

Speaker 3 (02:19:00):
Did your parents know when you were lying? No, when
you were little? No, But I knew when they were Yeah,
there was no blue light. No, there was no blue light.
It was pretty easy to tell. These are adult snacks
and drinks and you can't have That's just a fact. Yeah,
sometimes it is true.

Speaker 4 (02:19:18):
There's been a lot of times a couple of holiday
parties that I've been at recently, that he is.

Speaker 3 (02:19:22):
Like, oh, that looks good.

Speaker 9 (02:19:23):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (02:19:24):
I'm like, this is a mommy drink. Yeah, but I
mean it.

Speaker 4 (02:19:27):
I think this is more of like saying like, you
won't like that ice it's candy. Yeah you do, You're
not gonna like this?

Speaker 3 (02:19:32):
Yeah? Are there is there any harm to parental white lives?

Speaker 14 (02:19:37):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:19:37):
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 3 (02:19:49):
When I grow up, Well, I be a god too. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:19:54):
Maybe, Well, if you're listening to me, a cleaner room.
I just remember, when you're here every other weekend, you
gotta do what I say. It's the people that are
telling you, is for sure. You know the weekend Dad,
the weekend dads of America.

Speaker 2 (02:20:12):
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 5 (02:20:26):
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. To me too, and it was awesome,
the same HBO I everything. Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 2 (02:20:45):
Yes, I had so many video cassettes and you could
put three movies on the cassette.

Speaker 3 (02:20:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:20:51):
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 5 (02:20:59):
Okay, because that sell ingrained. Yes, it's like Blues Brothers.
Oh that had Caddyshacking Animal.

Speaker 3 (02:21:04):
House on it. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I have the needle.

Speaker 2 (02:21:07):
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 him
a six hour extended play, the quality on the replay
wasn't that good.

Speaker 3 (02:21:26):
Remember putting the tape on the tab to record it
over it again?

Speaker 1 (02:21:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:21:31):
Yeah, uh, I will say my dad definitely recorded over
some movies he thought I grew out of with some
uh on demand selections. Oh yeah, he made. I'm like,
you know what, I'm thirteen, what haven't I seen in

(02:21:52):
a while? Homeward Bound? And then you're like, oh, I'm
gonna shut this up. I just I just put this
on in a living for I'm in front of my
dad and grandmother. Yes, oh dude, that's so awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:22:06):
That's a stag films, a stag film, that's Uncle Joe's.
That's not mine. You can do that, but you got
to change the label. Yeah, yeah, definitely not porn. You
gotta do it.

Speaker 2 (02:22:23):
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, the
brave little toaster. He's not He's not going back to this.
Well watch this, I've grown this.

Speaker 3 (02:23:35):
Hey, it's Randy from the Sports Up brought to you
by Bridge Apply it.

Speaker 11 (02:23:38):
Some more bad news for the Lions 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 roster and

(02:23:58):
the Lions will have to find another fit starter and safety. 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 has been struggling.

(02:24:21):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:24:38):
Kirby Joseph. They're starters.

Speaker 11 (02:24:41):
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 can't hang forty on these.

Speaker 2 (02:24:52):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:24:56):
Maybe this is a shootout in Motor City here.

Speaker 11 (02:25:00):
Maybe split the difference. I don't know, Tad. You were
asking today how the Lions lost so many games. They
lost their opener at Green Bay, Okay Division game. Good
team stuff happens. Won the next four in a row,
lost that Kansas City Chiefs. Pretty good, pretty hard to
beat there. The one that doesn't add up. November the
second the Lions lost at home to Minnesota and JJ

(02:25:22):
McCarthy twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (02:25:24):
To twenty four.

Speaker 3 (02:25:25):
That's bad. It looks bad. And then the injuries started
piling up.

Speaker 11 (02:25:28):
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 Lines were out
scored seventeen to nothing and didn't register a first out.
That'll do it, and that turned that game. We shall
see there. They have an armado on offense and also

(02:25:51):
don't turn the ball over, which is not a good
sign because the Steelers kind of thrive on that. Yeah,
maybe they can turn them over.

Speaker 8 (02:25:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (02:26:00):
Up didn't look good when the schedule came out It
doesn't look great now, but if you got Annie Rodgers,
you got a shot.

Speaker 2 (02:26:07):
Maybe does Lazardi ever come into the equation? Will he
fall far enough on the way? I mean, we got
to beat the bottom of the waiver wire, right, didn't
we We've been churning it. We just used someone right
where the eight and six teams are. I mean, I
thought if you used one like you dropped to the
if you claim somebody off waivers, you'd drop.

Speaker 1 (02:26:25):
Oh do you that would?

Speaker 3 (02:26:27):
I'm unaware of that.

Speaker 5 (02:26:28):
I thought that's how it worked, But that might just
be in my Fantasy Football League circle two thousand and nine.

Speaker 11 (02:26:33):
Yeah, I'm not familiar with that hitting castole in the
favorite college as.

Speaker 3 (02:26:37):
Oh yes it is. It is an important cansole though.

Speaker 11 (02:26:40):
Lions 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 he's
catching the deep ball again. But for the season, even

(02:27:01):
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 Mountain

(02:27:24):
and the secondary, the lines are having a hard time
stopping anybody.

Speaker 5 (02:27:29):
They've had some pretty bad luck, no doubt about it,
and it's rolled over from last year.

Speaker 3 (02:27:32):
Like last year, there were a ton of injuries.

Speaker 5 (02:27:35):
Yeah, graphics at the ready for the broadcasters to underscore
how roughish shape they were.

Speaker 11 (02:27:42):
In 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.

Speaker 1 (02:27:50):
To the New York Football Giants. Yards allowed.

Speaker 11 (02:27:56):
Forty one points, thirty points, thirty one points, twenty seven points.
Not good defense, but the offense can rattle at home.

Speaker 8 (02:28:05):
All right.

Speaker 3 (02:28:07):
I was considering going to Detroit for this game because
I thought it would be fun.

Speaker 5 (02:28:10):
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 3 (02:28:20):
Yeah, Mike's talked you out of it a little bit,
A little bit Yeah, I was gong ho at six am. Yeah,
I might go.

Speaker 1 (02:28:27):
I might go. I'm like, dude, Oh, I would definitely go.

Speaker 4 (02:28:31):
Hey, what do I know?

Speaker 1 (02:28:32):
I mean, nobody really knows what's going to happen? Is
going to happen?

Speaker 11 (02:28:37):
I mean, this looks like a really challenging matchup for
a Steelers defense that is statistically very poor against the
pass and might be down TJ Watt Again, are you suggesting.

Speaker 5 (02:28:49):
That it was more about Tua throwing the ball on
Monday night than our pass defense that limited them through
the air.

Speaker 11 (02:28:55):
I think having the guy who never won a game
when it's colder than forty degrees have to play when
it's eight degrees on the road was a factor.

Speaker 5 (02:29:03):
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 now.

Speaker 11 (02:29:12):
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 because
you can't. They tried that with Anders Pete in the
Chargers game, and they did that a handful of times, and.

Speaker 5 (02:29:30):
That's when it gets wonky, when you start messing with
the rhythm like that and switching off the guys.

Speaker 11 (02:29:34):
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 5 (02:29:47):
I like, how you did the hand motion with the
STICKT Yeah, this is a stick. This is in the
direction of the st a little bit of an angle.

Speaker 9 (02:30:02):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (02:30:02):
That's funny because it ran. They ran Ramsey on a
safety blitz and he got a sack. We had not
seen that.

Speaker 5 (02:30:09):
In no.

Speaker 2 (02:30:11):
Universe should that have been a sack other than the
Miami Dolphins because he held God.

Speaker 1 (02:30:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:30:19):
But somebody called David said, were they doing that stuff
just so those guys could stick it to their old team?

Speaker 3 (02:30:23):
And I said maybe Charles BETSI absolutely yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:30:26):
There was some dude on Twitter being like, we saw
why the Dolphins fleeced the Steelers with that trade this year.
I'm like, how do you how is that your take?
After the game that John who scores out of the
backfield and Ramsey has a.

Speaker 3 (02:30:38):
Sack and make it got, and make it, make it
got embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (02:31:37):
Mark, how are you hello again?

Speaker 9 (02:31:39):
Everybody?

Speaker 8 (02:31:40):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:31:40):
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 16 (02:31:56):
I don't think so.

Speaker 9 (02:31:58):
I don't know that city O show uh Ottawa. I mean,
come on, maybe maybe back home in 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 back at home, but most it would have thought
haul off. He had done it during a loss like
last Nights, which was not as close as the six

(02:32:18):
to four school. I thought they were just overwhelmed by Edmonton.
Still at skating.

Speaker 2 (02:32:22):
Yeah, but for what it's worth it, it sounds like
your phone is a little muffled, if you can possibly,
uh hold on.

Speaker 9 (02:32:30):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:32:36):
I'm doing the best I can. Now it's better a
little bit, yeah, now it's better.

Speaker 2 (02:32:40):
Okay, So what I mean this is a little more
of the Penguin's like output.

Speaker 3 (02:32:45):
I was expecting this year.

Speaker 2 (02:32:47):
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 9 (02:32:58):
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 doobs 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

(02:33:20):
nothing in the grand scheme. They need to develop, and
they're doing some stuff I don't at all like, for example,
Ben Kindall'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 who's managed a
eight team, but he's got him and but they're real
Lyland veterans. It's like that got inherited from Sullivan. Why
in the freak is Anthony mantaat there on the power

(02:33:43):
play instead of Ben Kendall and the answer is going
to be, well, he's a left shot. He goes to
the front of the net, except as the bad left shot,
and doesn't really go to the front of the net
in their alignment. He's playing the Chino spot, which is
hardly in that fun presence. And like in they lost
the Seas, say, Kevin Hayes's line is out there trying
to hold the lead at the end and couldn't against

(02:34:05):
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 ours. I just don't
get the direction as is headed in the pursuit of
an eighth seed that'll get them nowhere. You're supposed to
be trying to build to a championship level team in
years to come, and I think they deviated from that

(02:34:27):
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 stuffed by making the playoffs, he's the
best goalie period.

Speaker 1 (02:34:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:34:44):
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 9 (02:34:52):
No, they're nowhere near legitimate. But I have a solution
to that, Randall, if people want me to buy into
the optimism, he's parading 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

(02:35:13):
what contending teams do. They peak at the right time.
They built to something, went out. You know, D two Tilly,
eight and six is certainly be Cleveland. Why can't you
be filling to move at home? Went out? Going to
the playoffs with Sash straight wins and not I believe,
But again it's scratching and clawing. It's probably a reed
to nothing, and I can't wait to see who their
next grandpap quarterback is next year in the hope of

(02:35:35):
finally winning a playoff game.

Speaker 8 (02:35:36):
Maybe Kirk doesn't The TJ.

Speaker 2 (02:35:39):
Watt lung puncture situation seems very odd to me. I
know that there are all kinds of difference.

Speaker 9 (02:35:48):
To me, well, why not, because he's obviously going to
sue the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (02:35:54):
You know, well, how do you know? Why?

Speaker 7 (02:35:56):
Why?

Speaker 3 (02:35:56):
How do you know that?

Speaker 9 (02:35:59):
But carefully hard statement by J. J. Watts, which was
not accuser toys, just very very factual and repeatd by
TJ's White what Instagram very uh, I don't want to
say legal leaves, but very carefully worded. The Steelers have
not Carmen at all on how it happened, except to
say he's not available to play. It just seems to

(02:36:21):
be head in that direction. And Tyrod Taylor, who had
something very similar happened the l A Chargers. I think
that case is still pending.

Speaker 2 (02:36:28):
So well, 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.

Speaker 5 (02:36:39):
I mean, it 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 9 (02:36:50):
Yeah? The Steelers.

Speaker 1 (02:36:52):
Okay.

Speaker 9 (02:36:53):
I think the big question is.

Speaker 3 (02:36:55):
I mean he might have brought that acupuncturist in. Is
my point? What's he might have brought the acupuncturist in.

Speaker 2 (02:37:02):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:37:21):
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 9 (02:37:28):
Mark?

Speaker 3 (02:37:30):
Nah?

Speaker 9 (02:37:31):
I mean I never really ready for Christmas. I mean
this could have sound really Golom and Doom, 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
pat getting reciprocated. No, my favorite Christmas r tool is
I love the Double Tree cookies. And I'm going to

(02:37:51):
wake to one eighty now, but I got that kid
of Double Te cookies. Yeah, I'm taking a two days.
I'll awake for one eighty Christmas. I'll be plunging in.
Those are awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:37:58):
Yeah, Double Tree Dawn are good, buddy, he brings us
the cookies. Oh nokay, did you go to did you
go to high school with Double Tree, Donna as well.

Speaker 9 (02:38:09):
You know, yes, I think saying, but I'm going and
I went class of seventy eight et sailing.

Speaker 5 (02:38:13):
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.

Speaker 2 (02:38:22):
It's like a hot chocolate chip cookie. He gives us those,
and they are the best damn cookies I think I've
ever had.

Speaker 9 (02:38:28):
They're the best cookies anywhere, any time, from anybody. But
that's an exaggeration. It's not a big one, is it.

Speaker 2 (02:38:34):
Uh No, They're pretty damn good. Uh well, you've got
eight days still Christmas. Do you have a tree up
at home or no?

Speaker 9 (02:38:41):
I have like a three four small minuture wire Christmas
trees that bring it every year.

Speaker 1 (02:38:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:38:47):
What is your favorite Christmas that they.

Speaker 9 (02:38:49):
Set that they expect to my mother with me. That's
what week. That's how we on our Christmas thing? Know
what Chief was removed with me?

Speaker 3 (02:38:55):
Well that's nice. That's a nice tribute. So what is
your go to Christmas movie?

Speaker 11 (02:39:01):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (02:39:03):
Yeah, it is? Does get you ready for the season,
there's no question.

Speaker 9 (02:39:06):
I don't I mean, I don't wants a good Christmas movie.
I think they're all really crusade. I think Christmas Vacation
is is pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (02:39:17):
Christmas Vacation is very funny. Which one, Wonderful.

Speaker 9 (02:39:22):
Life is just a classic.

Speaker 2 (02:39:23):
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.

Speaker 5 (02:39:43):
But there's a lot of movies in that ILK that
I find I think Miracle on thirty fourth Street is
actually also hilarious, full of hilarious characters.

Speaker 3 (02:39:52):
Yeah, No, that's what's the one one that shot the
eye Christmas Story.

Speaker 9 (02:39:57):
Yeah, that's awful. That should never be shown again, said Across,
it's just disagree.

Speaker 2 (02:40:02):
I mean that is Geene Shepherd Radio Titan, Geene Shepherd
his screen screenpeace.

Speaker 3 (02:40:11):
Speaking of slap shot, Melinda Dillon, of course is in Christmas.
That's right, the mom in Christmas Stories.

Speaker 9 (02:40:20):
I don't think she shot in a Christmas story with
another no good runaway hockey wife jumping a hockey player.

Speaker 2 (02:40:33):
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.

Speaker 9 (02:40:44):
Uh, you know, well, I will spend the holidays watching
a lot of.

Speaker 3 (02:40:50):
Me too, absolutely heartbroken over that.

Speaker 2 (02:40:53):
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. The enjoyment of those movies

(02:41:15):
is always going to have that specter around it for me,
at least for a little while.

Speaker 9 (02:41:20):
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 boat.

Speaker 2 (02:41:40):
I gotta be honest with you. I mean, it shocks
me that you have taken this tact. Why well, it
just did not seem like the playing field that you
wanted to enter into.

Speaker 9 (02:41:52):
No, no, it's not a playing field I want to
enter into. And I am more lights than left. But
enough to enough enough is just frigging enough. Yeah, I 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
go f themselves too well. Let me, I get told

(02:42:13):
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 after listen,
I don't care.

Speaker 5 (02:42:23):
Well, I've already gone down this path many times since
twenty sixteen.

Speaker 7 (02:42:27):
No, I know you have it.

Speaker 9 (02:42:28):
I used to think you were dumb for doing it,
but now I get it.

Speaker 2 (02:42:31):
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 9 (02:42:40):
That's true, and that's why I'm gonna see some desist
with this after I try to do it today, and
obviously on the show that's done a very good job.
We're not gonna be on it.

Speaker 5 (02:42:48):
No.

Speaker 9 (02:42:48):
Sixty four. I can retire with not this from here.
It doesn't really matter that much.

Speaker 3 (02:42:51):
Well, let's go off on a good note. What's your
favorite Rob Runner movie?

Speaker 9 (02:42:55):
Well, obviously Spinal Path, But you know, I up on
my show about two or three years ago, which was tremendous.

Speaker 3 (02:43:03):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 9 (02:43:04):
I honestly forget what movie because I made a deal
with them. I got on before we talked, and I said, hey,
can we talk about actually producing it? Tom? If we
talk about the movie, can we also talk about it
all in the family and 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

(02:43:24):
Law because of what happened. I was a huge fan
of his. I mean, as long as I can remember
there being a Rob Reiner, 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 can stand by me. It's the quint essential coming

(02:43:46):
of age movie. And of course, as he as he
said many times, he said on my show when I
passed away, the headline's going to be meat heead diuyes
and we'll never forget that character. I just rewatched the
last scene.

Speaker 3 (02:44:00):
Well, I mean, oh, the goodbye between him and Archie.
It's amazing.

Speaker 9 (02:44:04):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. It Just maybe cry, maybe cry
then maybe cry now.

Speaker 5 (02:44:08):
Well, Mark, have a great holiday, buddy, and wishing you
the best heading into twenty twenty six.

Speaker 9 (02:44:15):
And y'all that merry Christmas.

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 Opferman.

Speaker 15 (02:45:38):
The Steelers on Monday night picked up the 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, it was a bit

(02:45:59):
of a slow start to the game, with the first
score not coming until twenty four minutes into the game,
a Dolphin s field goal breaking the ice, but then
Pittsburgh erupted for twenty eight unanswered points as they cruise
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

(02:46:20):
the Steelers get the victory.

Speaker 3 (02:46:22):
Miami only managed sixty three yards on the.

Speaker 15 (02:46:24):
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 wait 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 3 (02:46:41):
But don't let that fool you. Detroit's much better than
their record. Let's on.

Speaker 15 (02:46:44):
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.
