Speaker 1 (00:02):
Guaranteed human. The Santa magic.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You just you can't get away from it this time
of year, no matter how old you get, it does
feel like there's something in the air that compels you
to believe in something a little bigger than yourself.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Probably, uh, people that get hot for Christmas, like Disney adults.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Right, Oh, I didn't even mean like that, but yeah,
there's people who get horny for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I mean, I have a buddy who's like, every time
he watches Christmas Vacation, he's like, it's just turns me
on so much. That's Beverly D'Angelo. Yeah, I'm like, yeah,
and the other the one girl who's yeah, no line, yeah,
I have a log. Yeah right. You gotta be careful though.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
With the the how hard you sell the Santa thing.
I remember like one of my buddies from grade school,
well into seventh grade, he was like, guys, I don't know.
I look, I don't have to. It turned into a
religious thing. He's like, I don't have to explain my
faith in Santa to anyone.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, that's that. That's bad parenting right there. That is
letting it go on a little bit too long.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And I think she had to give up the ghost
his mama to give up the ghosts because he was
getting crushed for it, like.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Crash yeah, but like right Lis, like right rightly. So
Tad whistle with us here live in studio this morning.
Big Cat coming up at nine am today. Big news
for the Pardon My Take crew is they have just
been bought by Netflix, well not bought, but they are
moving their video stream of the podcast from YouTube to
(01:45):
Netflix's Crazy is right. A lot of money go, a
lot of money changing hands over there. And then Guy
Junker ninety five today and always looking forward to hear
what Guy has to say about the state of affairs
and sports in general. But with your Pittsburgh Penguins being
kind of a I don't know, a head scratcher these
days and a big sale going through there and ownership
(02:07):
is now what's the guy's name from Hoffman Hoffman from
the Chicago Hoffman's. They have two hundred different businesses. First
time they're getting into hockey sounds like fun and what
could go wrong? Then they're like, this is just like
the ball bearings business. We have exactly the same except
instead of ball bearings hockey players. If we treat them
like ball bearings, everything should be fine.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Business is business.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But Mario might come back now because he just hated
the FSG people because they you know, they boned them
on five million dollars, which.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Just like less than one percent yeah of the deal.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, on the sale. They're like, no, they did it
just to be kind of spiteful. So he's like, okay,
I'm taking my shirt to them. Are going going home?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You look that.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
If he sits back up in the box gladiator style,
has the thumb ready to go.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, up or down. If that's how we pull goaltenders
from now on, I'm into it. Yeah, we go down
to Mario, him and Pierre a bottle of margo in.
Oh lucky Pierre, what do you think gotcham got them? Anyways,
we'll ask guy about that and other stuff coming up.
(03:18):
Adam's got a news update now for you.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Is this hour brought to you by wind Donation. Clouds
today and a high of fifty six, The New Year's
Eve numerals are arriving in Times Square today, thirteen days
before the highly anticipated December thirty first Times Square New
Year's Eve celebration, the giant, seven foot tall numerals for
twenty twenty six will arrive on the Broadway Plaza. The
(03:42):
numbers will stay on the plaza that's located between forty
six and forty seventh Streets, with members of the public
having the opportunity to take photos with them until December
twenty third. Afterwards, the giant twenty twenty six will take
a short rest before being placed atop the one Times Square,
officially completing the sign that will light up at midnight
on December thirty. First, Have you ever done the Times
(04:03):
Square New Year's Eve?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yes? And I left.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I stayed in Times Square on New Year's Eve and
we went to the Beacon Theater to see Government Mule
did like this whole show.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That sounds awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, but we so we're like, we're not going to
be there for when the ball drops, but we'll be
there before in the aftermaths.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We kind of it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's so not appealing to me that I really just
didn't feel like I missed anything.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
There was nothing left.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
We got back there at like one thirty and thought like, oh,
they'll be you know, there was you know, tens of
thousands of people around where our hotel was earlier.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Tonight, certainly there'll be a big no nothing. You know.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
We got back at like one fifteen or one thirty
and it was already pretty much cleared out. And at
that point, you know, they're not putting the main people on.
You know, it's like the B C level record company
signees that are you know, and now Chantelle you know who.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It's funny that you said you saw Government Mule on
New Year's Eve. I also did that one year. Oh yeah,
yeah in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Oh, they're always fun on New year'sy. They always pull
out something good. The night we saw him, they did, uh,
they did. The first set was the Band and he
had Larry Campbell come out with him, and the second
set was Grateful Dead and he had Steve come out
and play with him. And the third set was Almond
Brothers and he had Jack Pearson, who was one of
(05:35):
the original well not original, he was the one that
filled in after Warren left the band the first time,
and he's a legendary guitar player, and so they just
crushed all these Almond Brothers songs.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But at any rate, the time square aspect of things
did not really appeal to me.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
It's a little too chaotic for me. There's too many people.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
At people. Where do ye pee? Where do you? Where
do up? You don't have to go to Times Square
to wear a diaper on New Year?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
See.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I just everybody out there remember that. Keep that in mind.
You can do it anywhere. It's a great point, it
really is. How important is it to you to stay
up until midnight?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I mean it's not really I mean I've never not
done it, but I I have less of a need
to do that than in past years. I mean that
was usually back in the day, that was like, okay,
let's start partying now, you know what I mean, right,
because you'd only had a little bit of a pregame
going before midnight, and you had a nice buzz. You're like,
(06:39):
all right, now, let's really get stupid now, let's make
tomorrow hurt. Yes, And so I don't go that hard anymore.
But I definitely, I mean I saw past midnight, don't
get me wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, do you go hard ted?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah? You know.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I what I've done several times in like the last
five or ten years is there's a bar by my head. Yeah,
and they do the fifty dollars catered food. Oh yeah,
oh you can drink, and you're like, well, I can't
leave it a one forty five, No, how could I?
(07:13):
There's still food I paid for this. It would be
financially irresponsible, yes, for me to leave right now.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Every minute you stay, the money goes a little further right.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
And that's exactly right. But then you start thinking in
really destructive terms where you're like, it's three in the morning,
what is the most expensive thing that I could get
with my open bar privilege?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
And it's usually some kind of gross liquor that you
really don't need.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Schlogger, there's flakes that gold in there, and you know what,
And I could find those flakes later if I was
so motivated.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And then you realize you're insane and it's time to
go home. Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I have done many all inclusive deals on New Year's
in different cities, and one year I did one in
Miami with all my brothers. We were there for I
don't remember what bowl game we were going to. I
mean it was a Orange Bowl, but I don't remember who.
It was, Iowa and somebody, and we were all there
and the place was on ocean, and they said it
held no significance to us. It was like we can
(08:18):
get in here, okay. And it was one hundred dollars ahead,
and you got a bottle of champagne and you could
go to the buffet and eat whatever you want. We're like, okay,
let's just do that. We were still out of place.
We had no business being there.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It was very like, uh, it was like a it
was just not our scene.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Everyone was dressed up and they were very fashionable, and
it was like a little tilted.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Urban, you know what I mean, and we aren't.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And so it was just us getting drunk, like we
have to go somewhere else, like we're not gonna be
able to stay here, right, And I remember my brother
had his bottle of champagne and he was like let's go,
and then he smashed.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
The bottle on the ground.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Like thinking thinking like oh, it's just just another like fireworks,
yeah right right, Like he was celebrating and then everyone's
like what and then you know, everyone's like jumping for cover.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Thing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
He was like a gunshot and there's just glass everywhere,
and it's not somewhere where you should screw around, you know,
And so we leave there and go back to the
hotel room we had and because we had so many
idiots there for the Bowl game, there.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Was there was blow up.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Mattresses on the floor and my brother had glass all
like his shoes were dude, he popped and he's like
walking around and then he's like so anyways, he's like,
I didn't do that, you get it?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Why did you?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And so my other brother's like, I have to sleep
on one of those you know, the the like marble
floors that they have in those places.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know that. It's just like no relief at all.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
It was the most miss Everybody was miserable because they're
like there was a couple of people planning on sleeping
there and that put two more people in beds and
there was It just sucked. Is your brother a known
bottle smasher, He's a known act up when he gets
after it. Every crew has a guy.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
He's the guy yeah who's like, yeah, well we're leaving, okay, yes,
there we.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Go, and then like you have to leave and we're
like we know we were leaving, and now we wanted
to help clean up, and they're like get out, and
we were just not welcome.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It was bad.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
So, you know, just there's like you say, there is
always one of those guys in the crew.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Unfortunately, one of my brothers fits the bill for that.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And it was it was like me and my three
brothers and our friends and so we were all just
looking at him, like, did you just really just what?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I thought it would be fun? I thought we were
having fun, and he thought it was awesome. He thought
you're welcome. Yeah, I did do it.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Because you know, the guy that does that stuff never
sees a problem with it. He's like, oh, we're having fun. Oh,
stick out your butt, we're having fun. So anytime I
think of those all inclusive deals, I think of that one.
I've had some good ones down in New Orleans though,
because yeah, because there's like you know, like awesome bands
(11:16):
will play and it would be two hundred dollars, which
sounds like a lot, but then they give you dinner
with the band, you know, and you hang out with
the band, and then they give you a private access
to the bar and then all you can drink, and
it's like, when it's all said and done, two hundred
bucks on New Year's Eve, private you know, hangout is
a pretty good deal.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
And you can easily blow two hundred bucks just bar
hopping on New Year's.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Dude, it you could do that at Redbeards. Yeah, hundred
percent yes, because I did it a Red Beards.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The last time I did New Year's at Redbeards, a
guy blew into the bar at midnight and he didn't
have a shirt on it, and he had a saxophone and
he played careless whisper.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It was outstanding.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It was like midnight everyone, Oh look, man, baby, God
that gets through that and then.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Wow, that's going to dance again. I think I did
Howlers one year.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Uh yeah, when I think Harlan Twins played Howlers is.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
One of those if I could wave a wand you know,
I always think if you wave a wand you could
bring one place.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Back, Yeah, that would be fun.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
For food BBT, for a small venue with cheap drinks,
probably hours.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, I fixed the acoustics outside of that hours right.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But now I'm kind of at the point where if
there isn't that kind of like perfect vibe place, I'm
going low key private party thing.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I don't want to be at a big party.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I also don't want to be in a party where
I don't know a lot of people where it's like, hey,
three hundred people are going to this, we have a
crew of fifteen.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It's like it's not a big enough percentage of the
of the group.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Right, Yeah, Yeah, I don't want to meet new people
on a night like that. I need to be able
to decompress, be myself.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
How about a how about a New Year's Eve masquerade party? Yeah,
you're gonna get propositioned at some point. You just you
need to mentally prepare a failure.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
No, as soon as I hear mask party, I think mouth.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Stuff in mouth stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, I feel like somebody's gonna try mouth stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Hey, I like your look? Ready to see the ball drop?
What now?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
What?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What are you saying right now?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Get away from me?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
The other super fun thing that I've done a few
times on New Year's is Irish.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
New Year's Wait. I don't know what that is. What
do they do? Six pm? It's New Year's Eve in Ireland?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
So you go down to Harp and Fiddle or pick
your favorite Irish bar and you do the Guinness toast
at six and everybody you get your first you know,
New Year's experience and at six o'clock, and a lot
of people will just do that and then call it
a night. You know, they go down there at four o'clock,
three o'clock in the afternoon, get crushed until you know,
early evening, and go home and sleep through the ball drop.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
And I'm sure like Saint Patrick's day, some people get
down there at three and then it's the other three
and they're like.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh no, there's oh, there's no question. Yeah, because time flies,
there's drunk hours. Are you know, drunk hours move quicker.
It's like the inverse of Gordon Lightfoots, does anyone.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Know who the Love of God goes?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
On the way?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Turn the minutes? Two hours? He's like, holy cow, five,
I going by. We've been drinking inness all afternoon. They're
supposed to be home. In my life, it's really mad.
I swear we've only been here ten minutes. That's what
it feels like. Though.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You're like, I'll have another beer and then someone's like,
holy it's one thirty.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's last call. Last call. Yeah, I mean, isn't that funny?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Like that is the way that last call is said,
like everywhere all the class last call, like the incredulous Yeah, right,
what are you closing early?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
It's ten fifteen. Oh, it's one fifty.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
This this is the third time you've told me personally.
Last call, they said, I want to apologize. I am
going to break a bottle on the ground as I leave.
It's not personal, it's just how I am. But I
would like to cash out and I will tip. I
will then you leave without paying. Yeah, call them two
(15:39):
days later. Did I leave my car? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We were forty eight it Yeah, that checks. You earned it. Yeah,
you can keep that. It's the windowless bars.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
It's there's there's a couple places I go that are
bars with no natural light, no natural light enters, and
those are the ones that are an absolute time warp.
It's it is like a social experiment, like what time
do you think it is?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I don't know, seven thirty.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
It's eleven fifty eleven forty eight to be precise.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, that's my basement.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
That used to basement.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Really, that happened.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
A couple of times because there's no clocks down clock. Okay,
I was gonna ask no clock, and uh, it only
has glass block windows. So when you go down there
and then you just don't know and the cocktails go
like Joe Bartnik has many times just like what time
is it, you know, and then it's like four, Joe,
it's four. He's like, you know, face down onto the couch,
(16:34):
three hours of sleep, drive to.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Do the next gig. It happens when you look.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And my buddy Tim Beggy said it best when you
get those nights and you're it goes super late and
you're just hanging out and you're having a good time,
and the hours just fly by, and you're like, man,
I missed out on some real I needed to sleep,
and I'm gonna really rack up a nice chunk of
tow in my brain over this one that should have
been cleaned out by the snow allows that come in
(17:00):
when you sleep in your brain. But I've forgote that
for a good time. And he always says it's a
it's a net wash because it's so good for your soul.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm like, that is the best rationalization I've ever heard. Yeah,
objectively terrible for you and every other way, but good
for the soul.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah. I get that tattooed on my ribs or something.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
So when I got my blood work done, I asked
my doctor, I'm like what are my sole numbers?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Oh you Mark, Oh my blood sugar is incredibly high.
I get it.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Oh okay, but the soul doesn't bow. I got okay.
So you're not treating the whole patient. That what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So you don't believe in the art of medicine, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
It's like, well, your liver numbers are through the roof.
I'm very concerned about your kidneys, but you're doing great
in the soul department. You are having fun. I'll tell
you what, sir, You're legally dead, Guy Junker. A little
bit later on this morning, Big Cat coming up at
nine o'clock and a Pittsburgh themed Hallmark Christmas movie that
(18:07):
will play you the trailer for.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Buckle Up DVEs Chad Tyson as yours soundtrack for the road.
He's got a reloaded cut from the DVE Morning show
Sports and a Workforce commercial three hour at three after
Newlands with Chad Tyson on DVE from.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
The Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional Sir Scions.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Sunday for twenty five kickoff right here on your radio
home of the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Steve Sports are brought to you by Bridgeal appliance. It
is a big one.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
The Steelers collapsed last December, but with the winds over
the Ravens and Dolphins, they're threatening to flip the script
this time around here tight end Pat Friarmouth.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
Yeah, I mean, I guess I wouldn't say like our
confident well, my atleast has changed. I just think we're
we're we're heading our stride right now. But you know,
obviously can't be satisfied to win two games early in December.
We got three big games left, and obviously this one
of the shot is kind of like a one of
(19:09):
those statement games where we can really take that, take
it and keep going.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
With it statement game. I think that's well said. A
lot of people still don't believe in the Steelers. I
get why they don't. Well, yeah, if they go up
to Detroit and win, it's going to be hard not
to believe, right.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I would agree, But I would also say that they
could be as legit as any other team in terms
of a contender, maybe not you know, top four, and
still go in and lose this game. I mean, I'm
not so concerned with them winning or losing as I
am seeing them play well. And if you get beat
(19:50):
because the other team is better and you're not making
huge mistakes.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That happens.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
There's there's a way you can lose and still feel
okay about the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Forty eight to six wouldn't be it. That's my point. Yes,
lines this boat racing up and down the right like
the Dolphins.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Just they felt so bad about it that after a
four game winning streak, they benched their quarterback after losing.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
That's how bad their effort was. And they're doing the
right thing.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Everybody rerees, and they probably should have done it a
long time ago. He has no business playing in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Had winning four in a row.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I'm wondering if he's going to be the like the
biggest disparity between production versus pay in NFL history.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Somebody put a thing on Twitter yesterday next landing spot
for TUA that had like Viking Steelers Seahawks publics.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Oh man, Oh no, I mean.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
JaMarcus Russell comes to mind when it comes to like,
you know, he earned, but think of this thirty nine million.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
He was the second in the last big rookie deal
before they amended the rookie salary.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yes, thirty nine million and at a time, everyone's like,
oh my god, they totally just blew thirty nine million
on a guy who could couldn't even you know, get
out of a chair without grown it. He was just
a slob. And now Tua is got generational wealth. Yeah,
(21:26):
and he won't even be on the team. They're going
to be paying him ninety mili against the cap over
the next two years.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
The most amazing element to me is, you know, we
debated a lot last week. Does that weather thing really
matter or is that just a statistical anomaly. But I mean,
you gotta be able to play in the cold if
you're play in the NFL. Yeah, particularly if you're playing
Miami and you played Buffalo in New England.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Right, well, you can't. There's not working around that.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I mean, there are some NFC teams where you can
kind of sneak in with maybe one old game of year.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
There are yea.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
If you're in the AFC East, you're playing cold weather games.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
That's why I don't get these teams.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Minnesota went to a dome, Cleveland's gonna go to a dome,
Detroit went to a dome.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Why do you see Chicago's talking about moving their stadium
to Northern Indiana Dome no domb. I think that's a
I think that's a no dome. I'm not sure though,
but like, I don't understand why they're doing any of
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Cleveland should feel bad about going dome.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
You know, it's gonna end up being the biggest mistake
that they ever made.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, that's quite all a couple of sick statements.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Just whatever the next big move is is like, oh,
this could really do it?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
How it goes with them?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Yeah, the bigger, the bigger the play they make, they
all blow up in their face. This is gonna be like,
you know, it all have the same amount of casualties
as like the Mount Rushmore carving. It'll be cursed from
day one.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Roof will league.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
On top of a Native American burial ground cemetery.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'm unfamiliar with the history of about Rushmore.
Were there a lot of casual.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, a lot of people died on that falling off
of Abraham Lincoln's nose.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
What a way to go? Not a good way.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Before every Browns game, just a moment of silence for
the forty concrete workers entombed below the stadium.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We will not forget you. Oh it's a apparently. I
just google it to make sure, and it is a.
That's a that is a legend, urban legend that a
lot of people died during the making that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
That four hundred workers. Nobody died. Oh wow, I feel
better about having never seen it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Several dozen were traumatized from having to work in nostrils
for that.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Long though, Yeah, lots of books.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
How does work today, honey? I was in Roosevelt's nostril
for nine hours? How do you think it was Derek
Carmon force which yesterday? That's good news? Left Nick herbig.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Wait.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Roosevelt didn't practice, Isaac say Malu didn't practice, James Pierre
didn't practice.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
T J.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Watt didn't practice.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I don't think TJ. Watt's playing. I think it's safe
to assume that. I hope Derek Carmon does.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
Seems like I mean, he was full God. I don't
see any reason why he wouldn't. At this point.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Santa Samuel played pretty well, so the James Pierre thing
worries me less, but I still would like to have
him available because I don't think I can accurately assess
anybody from the Steelers secondary from that game against the Dolphins.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, there's a meatball that Toa threw up that Samuel
picked up.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, and who knows how many wide open ros he
missed the entire game.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I have not looked at the all twenty two. I
didn't see a ton.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
I mean, they just were ineffective pretty much at everything
until the Steelers stopped playing in the fourth quarter. It's
gonna be a lot more challenging Sunday. I don'ld like
to see them use smooth more. I really would. I
don't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I don't understand why he's I don't know if it's
doghouse or they've just decided that things are going better
with him not in there.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
You know, he's way down in targets, catches, yards, and touchdowns.
It's inexplicable, and particularly when you look at the offense
body of work twenty eighth in total offense, eighteenth in
scoring offense. So it's not as if you know other
people are doing it and they just can't get it
to them because other.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
People are doing it.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
I mean, there's a glaring need for more playmaking. He's
caught thirty one balls on forty targets this year. That's
pretty good, pretty good and the Steelers are second in
the NFL for the worst percent of drives that ended
without a first down forty one point eight percent.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Only the Raiders at forty three percent are worse. Bad
company to keep. I mean, did you see.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Kenny Pickett's stack the way you think a tight end?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
The little play action boot to the tight end on
third and six can get your first out. And you know,
if they're gonna try to possess the ball as they
did against Miami, you cannot have something approaching half your
drives end with.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Three and out.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know, I just remember how many first downs Heith
Miller got us, you know, third and three, Ben Quick one.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Turn, Burn Steeler first down. Maybe they'll get to them eventually,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
On the way big Cat from Barsool Sports pardon my take,
and big news for them yesterday they're moving from YouTube
to Netflix. So now he's a Netflix employee, and ask
him how he feels about that.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
He's on Fox the Game Day, U what is it? Which?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Which one is there is called? I can't remember bignon
Big Noon that's right to make me kick off? And
now he's on Netflix and always on the DV morning
show Guy Junker and when we come back a look
at the new Hallmark Christmas movie that is set in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
This is a good one. Could you play something for me?
The answer is always yes. When you build the menu.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You know what that would make my day so much better.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
The all request the Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on
DV ninety.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Four point five Tree ws Well, Merry Christmas, you dim dons.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
It's the DV Morning Show Randy Ballman with Abbey Christner
and Mike pursuita tad whistle in with us this morning.
Jacob Breck to our producer, and tis the season for
Christmas movies. And as you know, the Hallmark Channel has
been playing Christmas movies since about August, and they have
every kind of Christmas movie you can imagine, and they
try to pinpoint every demographic that might jump in and
(28:18):
tune into one of these things. And so it was
only a matter of time before they finally launched a
Pittsburgh themed Hallmark Christmas movie, which is coming out this weekend.
When Gina returned home to her childhood house in Crafton
from her bougie condo in the Strip District, the last
(28:38):
thing she expected to find was a ghost of Christmas past.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Tank philip Kowski.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Gina, what are you doing here helping.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
My mom recover from her footwarter remove with surgery? What
are you doing here.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
Fixing your Pittsburgh party Because your cousin Chip claud did
a Thanksgiving goodness new and just when you thought you've
lost the Christmas spirit for good, me and some of
the old gang are going to mugshots for darts.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
You should come.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I can't. I'm planning the Mayor's Christmas jingle ball at
the PPG Place skating rink, and I have to make
sure the ice is okay.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
It's freezing out. The ice will be fine.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
No, I mean I need the immigration police to sweep
the area of all the vagrants.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I can't just stay and crafted forever. Gina, Hey, for real,
come get hammered with us. This time of the year.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Holiday magic can find you in the unlikeliest of places.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Draft spirits, drunk in the cabot, you're truck again? What
is this high school?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Actually? Yeah, this is a high school. We should probably
not stay parked here.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
I'm for sure pushing point oh eight, But I just
want to ask you.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
You know what this is is that mistletoe.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I don't know. I'm sincerely asking you what it is.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I just pulled it out of my teeth, but I
only had one bite of salary. You know, I'm real
glad your mom had her footwork's removed me too.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And when the spirit of Christmas comes knocking, will you
let it come inside?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Good morning, Merry Christmas. Why are we in my childhood bedroom?
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It sleep together last night? Please tell me we use
the condom? No way? Wait, aren't you on when your
original Christmas plans fall through?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's time for a Plan B Christmas Tonight on the
Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
This would never work between us. You're a plumber master plumber, right,
and I'm the assistant to the mayor.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
And I'm technically still married to Tara, But who cares.
I think we could be great together. Plus I could
really use your health insurance.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Who there's the drumster pull over.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I'll over from here, lose my number and forget this happened.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Jena, Wait, Jana, I promise to text you every time
I could stop a Plan B Christmas Tonight on the
Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Well, those you know that's like destined to be like
the Pittsburgh gets a wonderful life.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I think, just perspective.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, I hope those two can make it me too,
And we all know stories like that. You know, this
time of year, Can you give me some Christmas music?
Give me a little Christmas music. I don't even care
if it's the kind that'll get us dinged. Those Hallmark movies,
the tropes in them are hilarious. We played for you
the clip from our Algorithm bit about how every one
(31:18):
of those is like.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
They make up these events.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
That just are so ridiculous they steer into the skid
almost of the joke.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
At this point, I.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Was wondering if you two were coming to the Green
Pine Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights Christmas
Tree Decorating Contest Finalistclatary, Hey, yeah, I just wanted to
know if you were coming to the Twinkle Twinkle Jingle
Jaco Merry Christmas Snowflake Winter Pine Cone Pussy Mitton Decorating
Dance Dance Revolution, Hash Slinging, Mass Slinging, crash stinging cookoff,
fucking stuff, We're naughty, saying a wet T shirt contest
(31:50):
Dirty fundraiser for orphans and send the tax evaders, pre
diabetics at least what egnot sift and swore rates tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, that's pretty much what they're like.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, but some of the tropes that you'll often find
in these movies, and by the way, I find them
very watchable.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Really, I'm not even kidding. I kind like them.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
You kind of like romantic comedies?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Though? What'd you say like that? Because I don't think
it's understood why she said it like that.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I think I said what I said.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
How I said? What romantic comedy?
Speaker 12 (32:21):
Do?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I like?
Speaker 3 (32:23):
You like rom No, you like romance movies more than
I thought you would.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Like What you talk about Love actually a lot. You
always say you hate it, but you talk about it
a lot. It's objectively terrible. No, it's fun to hate watch.
That is a hate watch. Nobody likes Love actually.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Everyone hates Love actually, and that's why you watch it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
He thinks you do protest a little little too much.
Turn it down a little bit. What's your buddy? All right?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I didn't mean to insult you.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I'm not insulted. You're just wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
So the big city hot shot who hates Christmas is
the usual Hallmark five. Right, That's the first thing you
can count on. And it's never the dude. The dude's
never coming back. That dude is unsuccessful. It's yes, the
dude is always the schlub who couldn't get out of town. Anyways,
I'm a carpenter. It's like Jesus was I guess that's
(33:17):
sort of my charm. I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I stayed hot. Yeah, like Jesus Chisel dabs. It was
like Jesus.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Anyways, some of the actors in the Hallmark movies, you
can tell that their agent came up to them and
was like, well, it's either this Hallmark movie or pornography.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I got two scripts here, why do you leave through them?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
And I mean, I'll be honest, some of this stuff
in here is pretty hardcore, and just you know, shoot
me a text.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
I have other clients. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
The bad news is we did not get you on
Survivor Pogo Pogo. We were really hoping it was between
you and that thirty eight year old guy who's only
a foot and a half tall, and they went with
him because it's a long story anyways, actually it's very short.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Give me a call.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
So there is that the big city hot shot, and
it's always the woman who's career minded and everything. And
she comes back home and she doesn't believe in Christmas.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
She's too busy.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
She's too busy for Christmas. But then she gets to
her small town and this is the second trope of
the small town, where nothing ever changes.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
The charm of the town.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Oh, it's delightful, the local traditions. Oh really, are you
doing the chestnut roast tonight in town square?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Coco? Do you believe tonight? Jubilee?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
They're in the coffee house as soon as we get
back from holiday break.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
By the way, kick ass band.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Another one the Lop and Have is like, I can't
talk to Josh. I'm engaged to Trevor. Oh yeah, And
then their family works the entire movie to explain what a.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Douchebag Trevor is. Right, you can't marry this capitalist, the.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Guy with all the money, Yeah, and the health insurance
and the apartment and the four oh one k. You
should date your high school love, Yeah, that'll gay.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
And then there's that last minute miracle that always happens.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
It saves everything, just one look where all of a sudden,
the guy who was just the slub the entire time
walks in AND's like they're like.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
We lost all our Christmas presents this year.
Speaker 10 (35:56):
We're not gonna have Christmas we were supposed to have
for the fortunate, the disadvantaged youth, and now.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It's it's just so tragic.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
And then you like, he say, hey, I notice your
car turned over in the snow drift the other night.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Pull all these presents out. I rewrapped them all for you,
and good to go.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I had to replace a couple of them there damage,
but you don't have to pay me back.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
I'm just happy to be a part of your Christmas.
And then he goes.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Oh, and they're like he gets seg.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I gotta have sex with him. I'm gonna stay in
this dumpy town forever.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Everything they thought three days before, they've just one eight
eight on. This place sucks. These people are all enmeshed.
It's like it's insane. Each other's asked, they all are.
They know everything about each other, zero privacy and I'm
never leaving.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Oh yeah, And then after they get married, right, they
need to do sequels where it's like, uh, Stephanie finally
found out that Mark was a bit of a player
while she was in the Big city because there's only
sixty women in the town and Marcus had sex with
fifty five.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Or she just learns all of these other weird things
about him that you can't possibly know by re meeting
someone in three days.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
And she's like, you have what he's like agoraphobia. That's right.
I can't I can't go, I can't go outside.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Marcus is home a lot.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
She's like, I thought you were just rebuilding and remodeling
the something. No, this is a prison that I am
interrupting for myself that I.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Can never leave.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
I only leave the house once a year for Civil
War reenactments where I only play Robert E. Leave. Wait,
what's so specific?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Won't play anybody else.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
It's just super racist and she doesn't find out until
she's pregnant. You're what now, Yeah, I'm a member of
a militia you might have heard of called white Whites
for whites.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Wait, so you can wear a mask.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Hallmark Christmas Movies, they're the best.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
When we return, Big Cat from Pardon My Take joining us,
Guy Junker and more, and we'll tell you about tomorrow's show,
