Time purchase Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
It feels like it's gonna be a bitcoin transfer for you,
like a constant negotiation that you're gonna be having with
some digital overlords going forward or I'm being paranoid one
or the other, or everything will be fine and not
much will change.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
It's gonna be great. I think so too, very excited.

Speaker 7 (01:48):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I remember talking to Harlan Williams uh when he did
our comedy Fest couple of years ago, and he was
telling me all about how Howie Mandel has this ai
room of comedians like you walk in and it's like
holograms pop up and it's George Carlin doing modern comedy.
You know, he's dead so he can't do that. And

(02:09):
I thought that was creepy. And he's like, oh no,
it's so exciting, don't you get it? And he was
not doing a bit.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
He thinks.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
It's like, I mean, there are a lot of people
who think that this is the greatest thing going that
the you know, being servants to the robot overlords are.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's gonna be a fun future.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
No, let me die.

Speaker 8 (02:29):
When I'm gone, let me be gone, let my soul rest.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
I do kind of think that it's still as easy
as like, guys, we're just gonna unplug the robots now, okay,
let's go back to normal.

Speaker 8 (02:40):
Yes, honestly, that's where my inner Billy Gardell really does
come out when it's just like pour water on everything.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah, water will save everything.

Speaker 8 (02:51):
That's why everybody's investing, like, you know, make sure we
have enough water because we'll need to kill the robots.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Sid you there are two Billy Gardell's. Abbey's got your
news right now. What's going on.

Speaker 8 (03:05):
News this hour is brought to you by your neighborhood
Ford Store. Clouds today and a high of fifty six.
And I know I'm kind of in Mike's territory here,
but this is big news. For the second time in
less than four years, the Penguins are being sold. The
Chicago based Hoffman family of Companies is purchasing the team
from the Fenway Sports Group. According to The Athletic Fenway

(03:25):
bought the team from former Penguin superstar Mario Lemieux and
businessman Ron Berkele for nine hundred and fifty million in
twenty twenty one. Under Fenway's ownership, the Pens have not
made the playoffs for the past three seasons. According to
its website, the Hoffman Family of Companies investment firm has
two hundred brands and properties globally, employees more than seventeen

(03:46):
thousand people and has more than four hundred locations across
thirty countries. It's unclear what the purchase price will be.
In Forbes's two twenty twenty five valuations of National Hockey
League teams, the Penguins were valued at one point seven
five billion.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Okay, so they stand to make a lot of money. Yeah, yeah,
good turnaround for FSG, who did nothing here in Pittsburgh.
Let's stress everybody out. Madden constantly defends them too, because
they own his favorite football club, Liverpool.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And so he's like, well, what do you want them
to do.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
I'm like, I don't know any name a person that
everybody knows from FSG.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
You can't know.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
They never had like a hey, I'm the hockey guy.
I mean they did in the end of name. I
don't remember if it was Trevor or what the hell
it was. But they did have a guy, but he
was not exactly omnipresent so much so I can't remember
his name, Whose nephew was he somebody's exactly, but just
you know, it's nice to have people hands on in
the community and things like that.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
That's what's traditionally worked here.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
And some of the speculation is that FSG and delving
into the NHL has decided that it is a garage
league and they want nothing to do that because they
have such they have much more high minded aspirations F
one and you know with the European soccer leagues.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Is it a bad look that they sold?

Speaker 7 (05:10):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Like, are people within the NF NHL concerned about it?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
No? I think they're like, good riddance whatever. They don't care.
I don't think they care one way or the other. Honestly,
I don't know that it's a bad look so much
as I would say, if anything, I think that it
like it. It's a bad look for FSG in in
terms of the perception that they were unable to do

(05:38):
anything from an actual winning standpoint, right from turning the
organization around just pure sports. But they're gonna make so
much money on it. It's like, how do you argue
with this, Oh, this thing that we just kind of
backed assed into. Oh how many billions did we make
in five years? Okay, good deal, I'll see you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
I hope these the Hoffmans, is that it the Hoffins? Yes,
I hope that there are a little more hands on
here in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 (06:04):
That put that a whole argument to bed, though, that
Mario is going to have anything to do.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, Mario didn't have anything to do with FSG.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I mean, he has the minority ownership stake still, but
he didn't want to show his face and give them
the gratification of his association because of a five million
dollar dispute on the multimillion dollar sale. And it was
about a minority owner, like very small stake owner who

(06:33):
kind of popped up at the last second. Like remember
that movie Casino, Like that woman comes out of nowhere
and she's.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Like, she's like, I actually own a bunch of it.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
So it was like one of those situations and FSG's like, oh,
you got to pay.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Her, Marrio, and.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
He's like, uh, you know, obviously, don't I want to
do that, especially with the taxes. And then they said no,
and they took him to court and made him pay.
So they ended up basically for five million dollars, which
in their world is not a lot. They lost their
best ambassador to the city over that five mil. He

(07:10):
begrudgingly went to a few games. Now. I don't know
if that change is going forward. I would imagine if
you're this Hoffman group and this is the first time
they're getting into hockey. The first thing you would want
to do is like, all right, let's get Mario back
in the box for you know, at least half the
games go just have him drinking wine. People like to
see them. It's just like the Pope. You just want

(07:31):
to see them up there. You know.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
You went the blessing and that's it, And I hope
that happens.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
I know he's been spending less and less time around here,
but maybe that would change, you know. And when Sid
goes away, I kind of feel like that's like his
son isn't on the team anymore, you know, so I
think we only have the window of Sid's playing career.
Maybe not, but it kind of feels.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Like that's me.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I think you might have something there.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
You do want Mario up there? Yes, overseeing everything?

Speaker 9 (08:05):
You know.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Yeah, you want me on that wall. Obviously you need
me on that wall. Did I call the code red?
You're damn right, I called the code red. Obviously got
to have the code red.

Speaker 8 (08:20):
All right, Well, enjoy the oscars on TV for the
next couple of years, because eventually that will be a
thing of the past.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
The Academy Awards will move.

Speaker 8 (08:29):
To AB from ABC to YouTube starting in twenty twenty nine,
with YouTube holding the global streaming rights through twenty thirty three.
Academy Chief Executive Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell
Taylor expressed excitement about the partnership with YouTube, stating that
it will expand access to the Oscars to a larger

(08:50):
worldwide audience. YouTube will not only stream the Oscars, but
also cover red carpet events, the Governor Awards, and the
Oscar nominations.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Announcement.

Speaker 8 (09:00):
ABC will continue to broadcast the Oscars until twenty twenty eights,
which will also mark the one hundredth Oscars ceremony.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Very strange, It is a little weird, but that just
shows you where it's going. Network television has less and
less of an impact right now. That's something that seems like,
you know, for the people who are like, where the
hell's the football game? Amazon? What get the I don't
have that? This sucks. Those people are being dragged into

(09:29):
the future and all of those streaming sites are going
to be just as accessible and have the same production
qualities as any other network. It won't matter eventually, I
think It's one of those things that right now it
sounds bad, but it's basically the future is not so
much ABC, NBCCBS, YouTube and Netflix is really what you know,

(09:51):
who are battling one another. In fact, one of our
guests today a bigcat from Barstool Sports Pardon My Take.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
They just announced.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Yesterday their world famous podcast Pardon My Take, is switching
from YouTube to Netflix.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Netflix bought them away.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Oh wow there, and they're they're gonna have Spit and
chick Licks is gonna be on Netflix too, and they're
going to keep the archives on YouTube for now for them,
but then they're going to just start to build up
a catalog on the Netflix side of things.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
And that's the war that's kind of going on right now,
especially with Netflix and the Warner Brothers deal and all
of that. So when when you see YouTube and it
looks like, oh my god, the oscars, boy, that's going
to be completely irrelevant, it's going to YouTube actually going
to be the same as everything else. Eventually just seems
like it's more of an isolated platform.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
This might be as dumb people don't are on YouTube
all the time.

Speaker 8 (10:52):
You know, people watching Like we kind of always say
like oh, television's dad, Like, clearly it's not. People are
just using like the apps on the TV, but like,
are people actually watching YouTube and Netflix on their phone?

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Mostly? Yah?

Speaker 8 (11:04):
When you're talking about es things like barstool spitting chicklets,
like is that on your phone when you're when you
would be consuming that on Netflix?

Speaker 4 (11:11):
I think a lot of people have it on their computer,
on laptops or desktops while they're working on another computer,
or they just shoot it to their TV and you can,
you know, the YouTube TV app is on if you
have like a Samsung TV. You just put that app
on your TV and it's the same thing as choosing
your cable or HBO or anything else.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
You just go to YouTube TV.

Speaker 8 (11:31):
Okay, Because I'm thinking of those as like podcasts, right,
So I just think of that.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
More as like a medium.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I'm listening to people watch those. I mean they're all
there's video for all of them. I mean Mark Marin
was one of the last holdouts.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
He never filmed his everybody else has been filming there
forever because it's another revenue source. I wonder why he didn't.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I just think he wanted to keep it purely audio.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, you know, he's he was a kind of a
one of those little crotchety well slight slight. I think
he saw it as breaching what he was more about
the original medium of radio, where he spent some time
on air America, and he wanted it to maintain that
sort of authenticity. I think he liked the NPR kind
of vibe of things. That's my guess. I don't know,

(12:16):
but it is they They just walked past a ton
of money by not putting that on a computer for
people to watch. Because streaming video just you know, brings
more and more in. That's why they've been trying to
put us on TV on the DV Morning show for

(12:37):
ten years and we're just now putting out some videos.
But our companies wanted they they all want that. They
want all radio shows to be on TV the entire time.
And that's how it feels like ESPN just turned into
a radio show that is being televised all day long.

Speaker 7 (12:52):
Now.

Speaker 8 (12:54):
I can't wait to see our engineers head explode when
I tell them, you know, we could go live on
this on this switcher.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh yeah, well you said, Or your.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Head explode when I tell you you know we can
go live?

Speaker 10 (13:05):
Oh I.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Don't. I wouldn't care. But you said engineers plural. That's funny.
Wait until I tell Jeff exactly because we used to
have a whole room full of engineers. But things are
different now, yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, you know, sometimes change is good.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 8 (13:25):
After suing each other over this year the fallout on
their on stage fight in Boston back in September, Perry
Ferrell and three other members of Dan's Addiction have put
the issue and the band officially to rest. Each side
posted statements on Wednesday afternoon that seems like they were
very carefully crafted by lawyers. Perry's went up first, and

(13:49):
it said, to everybody in Boston and all around the world,
I'd like to address what happened on stage last year.
I have reflected on it, and I know that I
didn't handle myself the way that I should have, and
I appollologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing
my temper and for disrupting the show.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
If you remember, this is like when Jane's Addiction was on.

Speaker 8 (14:06):
Stage and it was basically Dave Navarro and Peripheral like
clashing with each other. And we learned that Perry couldn't
hear himself saying this was something that was happening, I think,
night after night on the tour, but it was also.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Maybe with some drinking issues.

Speaker 8 (14:24):
But by the end of the show, Perry had punched
Dave Navarro and they fought on stage, and that was
the end of Jane's Addiction. But Perry said that Jane's
Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades.
The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that
we've had on music and culture mean more to me
than any words I could ever possibly write down. My

(14:45):
aim has always been to give our audience as the
best possible show, something real, honest and positive. And in
Boston we felt short of that, and I am truly
sorry to everybody who's impacted. So from the bottom of
my heart, I want to thank each and every one
of you for your continued love and support.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
But then shortly after that hold on, I want to
back up, Yes, we fell short of that. We fell
short of that, Perry, you fell short of that. Those
guys were still playing the song. You're the one who
had a fit and tried to beat up your guitar player,
and you couldn't beat him up if you wanted to.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Is Navarro is still a lean Uh he's not quite
as kind of stacked jacked up as he was, but
he's still cut and lean, where Perry Ferrell is just
like skinny.

Speaker 8 (15:32):
And kind of they're all kind of heroin cheeks, still
a little bit minus the heroine I assume.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Well, yeah, at this point, no, they're way too angry
to be on heroin.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (15:43):
But like as soon as his message went up, and
this is again you can tell that the lawyers were involved.
They were like, okay, Perry's message has to be up
for exactly two minutes before everyone else's message can go up.
And then as soon as that happened, it was the
rest of the band.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Their message goes up and basically said, you know, we.

Speaker 8 (16:01):
Made a lot of inaccurate statements about Perry's mental health,
and for that we are sorry.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Uh yeah, okay, this is they're they're splitting.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Up the the pie at this point, and they're and
they're like, we gotta make nice and further revenues come
in and are going to be distributed this way, and
then Perry's like, fine, I'll do that, but you have
to tell everybody that I'm not a nut case, you know.
And then they're like, okay, well you have to say
that you are a jackass in Boston. Yes, you hurt
La La palooza.

Speaker 8 (16:32):
Yeah, And so then they basically said that now we
look forward to the future as we embark on our
separate musical and creative endeavors. Jan's addiction will forever live
in our hearts. We're proud of the music we created together. You,
the fans, are our lifeblood, and we will always appreciate you.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
So that is pretty much a rap. That was Jan's addiction.
That was the end of Perry Ferrell's statement. That was
the end of the band. The rest of the band members.
Perry Ferrell, in his original apology statement called the fans patrons,
which I don't like.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
It feels a little cheap.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yeah, it was good call good cat. Hey, we do
it for the patrons. You know, we're all about the
patrons here. I love my patrons. Yeah, you're calling them
customers at that point, and that's very much what this was,
one big business transaction.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Now they can go away. It's fine.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
I saw them several times. I always had a good time.
I always like seeing Jane's but I'm okay not seeing
them anymore.

Speaker 8 (17:31):
I think I only saw them once and that was fine.
But they were like a one record band for me too.
M it was like nothing shocking, and I'm like.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Correct, Yeah, their first two were pretty big when I
was in college, So yeah, I'm good with it all right.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
It is going to be cloud Habit, little habit, whatever
that one was.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah, I don't know why that one didn't connect with
me as much.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Mmmmmmm.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
I guess it's a me problem.

Speaker 8 (17:55):
Sounds like it's you from Clouds today, and I.

DVE Morning Show Sports is Up, brought to you by Bridgeville.
By the way, our buddy Tad Westle hanging out with
us this morning too. I should point out.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
In a Jerry Garcia mugshot T shirt, it's a good one.
Clustered down on Bourbon Street.

Speaker 12 (19:22):
Still's quarterback Aaron Rodgers practiced without anything on his damaged
wrist on Wednesday. That won't be the case on Sunday
in Detroit. But Rogers is nonetheless getting better.

Speaker 13 (19:34):
Yeah, it's still not one hundred percent. I'm having battles
with the training staff. Happy battles, not knockdown, drag out battles,
but trying to trying to feel more normal. So I
go through practices like today without anything on my wrist.
I'm still not without some pain with certain movements, but
I'm trying to get the strength back and all those

(19:55):
little muscles that have been unused for a number of weeks.
So it's a work in progress. Last week was outsy,
just a little pad on top of it. Not sure
what this week's going to be, but hopefully you know
at some point there's not gonna.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Be anything on the risk.

Speaker 12 (20:10):
Not the first time he's practiced without anything on there,
but a good sign that risk is coming around. They
need Aaron Rodgers as close to one hundred percent as
they can get them the rest of the way. Of course,
the game against the Lines on Sunday is a big one,
but it isn't Aaron rodgers first such rodeo. He's been
in enough of those over the years, twenty one of

(20:30):
them now to know how they should best be approached.

Speaker 13 (20:33):
Not the oldest guy in the league, but I've been
been in part a lot of these games, and I
think you have to approach it the same way. As
crazy as it might sound, the best way to play
well on game day is to find a way to
make the game seem like practice. And the only way
to do that is to make practice as game like
as possible. So that's why practice is so important to me.
Every rep matters, you know, even if it's to walk through,

(20:55):
it's because you have to play the game out Monday
to Saturday. So when you get to Sunday one day,
whatever it is, and it feels like practice because in practice,
there isn't the nerves that show up on game day.
So how can I make the game feel as much
like practice? I have to make practice feel as much
like the game as I possibly can.

Speaker 12 (21:14):
More of that tremendous perspective from Aaron Rodgers that we
have been.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Exposed to all.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Season long, football porn all year long.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
There's no question serious. I don't know how this is
going to turn out.

Speaker 12 (21:26):
And I know they've brought him here to get into
the playoffs, to win in the playoffs, and that's going
to decide whether it was worth doing or not. But
I've enjoyed listening to him week by week.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
But I always like to give the caveat of yes,
they brought him here to get them to the playoffs
and win a playoff game.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
But he was not their first choice, which is.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
To say they did not go to these great lengths
to pull Aaron Rodgers here so much as we waited
for him to make a decision whether or not he
was going to play here, or of Minnesota, who probably
wishes they would with as much trouble as they had
this year, although maybe not JJ coming around.

Speaker 12 (22:03):
So if Justin Fields takes their offer, it would have
been him, Yeah, Sam Darnold.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
It would have just been a.

Speaker 12 (22:09):
Simple yeah, okay, you were playing this year, now you're
playing next year.

Speaker 7 (22:12):
Right.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Funny how it worked out, and we'd have Mason Rudolph
probably starting by now, Oh my god, if Justin's season
in New York. Although I mean, look, they even made
Aaron Rodgers stink the Jets offense, so maybe it's not
completely fair to say that Justin Fields might not have
performed a little bit better. I don't know that we
would have been much better record wise than we are
right now with Justin Fields. We're still just you know,

(22:36):
hovering over five hundred. But I like where this has
gone from an entertainment standpoint. No complaints in that department.
The Steelers are always a fun soap opera one way
or the other. And listening to him, like when he
just is about football, it's great. And he has just
been about football this year. That's what we wanted. We
were worried it wasn't going to be that, and it

(22:57):
has been so what's not to like?

Speaker 12 (22:59):
Yeah, and you know, playing well, that was that wobbly
middle part of the season where he was terrible against
the Chargers, terrible, and then he wasn't that good against
Cincinnati before he got hurt. But boy, he was really
good in Baltimore, and it was really good against Miami
and then watching that Dolphins game, the difference between Rogers
and Tua, well, it was just staggering.

Speaker 14 (23:20):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
I mean, I'm kind of the more I see clips
from to on Monday Night that I watched in real
time in disbelief, but I was still caught up in
a Yes, good play by us. It was impossible to
not see how he was ill equipped he is to
be a quarterback in the NFL. But it takes away
a little bit from my feelings of the Steelers win.

(23:42):
Well it should yeah, yeah, I'm like.

Speaker 12 (23:45):
No, I mean, it's how did we not the degree
of difficulty is going to ratchet up considerably, exactly against
Jared Goff. Yeah, let's put it that way. That's all
I'm getting at. I mean, the defense stopped who they
had to stop. That's all you can do in a
game to beat who you're playing. But that it's not
a linear thing. It goes up and down as to
how hard that is.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yeah, but like we were saying yesterday, Tad, it's just
nice to get a win where you can just relax. Yeah,
you know, yeah, look at us, it is nice.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
You know, you do have to keep the two a
thing perspective. But when you're up three scores like it's
it feels foreign.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Yes, you know, yes, yeah, this isn't going to go
down to the last play of the game.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I can't believe it. And they're paying two all that money.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
No, dude, that would be a ninety million dollars cap
hit if they cut him. Apparently, it's making it bigger
than what they did in Denver.

Speaker 12 (24:36):
They have to do it, you have to. They have
no choice. They cannot play that guy. They're playing Quinn Eewers.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
This week, they promoted their third string quarterback above their
second string quarterback, which lets you know what they think
of Justin or what the hell's his name?

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Zach Wilson.

Speaker 12 (24:52):
Wilson, Yeah, practice report the particulars from the Steelers side
of it yesterday. No James Pierre Calf, No Nick herbig hamstring,
No Isaac Samalow triceps. Sam al also shot down at
least four of us who requested a moment of his
time to speak politely. Well, not so much, just you know,

(25:14):
one after the other. Isaac got a minute now, okay,
and so that went.

Speaker 15 (25:21):
No.

Speaker 12 (25:21):
TJ Watt long, Derek Harmon a full participant.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
That's good news.

Speaker 12 (25:27):
JJ Watt, brother of TJ Watt, appeared on the Pat
McAfee show and had some things to say about his
brother yesterday.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Quote.

Speaker 12 (25:34):
TJ's working through it, and he's handling the situation day
by day. It's obviously not something that he expected, and
he's finding the proper steps to get back to where
he would like it to be. Dry needling is incredibly calmon.
Everybody in the league, most anybody who's been in the
legue has probably done it at some point. I would
say he was certainly not anticipating being in the hospital

(25:56):
and getting lung.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Surgery last week. Ye, thanks for the date. JJ.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Well, lots of people were quick to point out yesterday
when we were talking about it, that dry needling is
not like acupuncture. It's a different procedure altogether. Sounds awful, Yes,
it does.

Speaker 12 (26:10):
It does shine just a little bit of light and
this is mostly darkness. But the amount that these guys
indoor to play every week and what they go through
is almost incomprehensible.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I mean, was it James Harrison who said he spent
two hundred thousand dollars a year on recovery fifty grand
a month? I thought in that GQ article, like a
year round.

Speaker 16 (26:32):
Fifty grand a month. That's so that's six hundred grand.
I mean it's a lot of money. I mean it's
just you know, they're getting in fifty car recks once
a week, Yeah, and then trying to do it again.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
No thanks.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
I mean, I go to the gym twice and I'm like,
I have to go to Cryoh I need red light therapy.
I slept funny me.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
I don't know how to thanking magnesium.

Speaker 12 (27:03):
For the Lions, starting left tackle Taylor Decker was a
non participant. They actually had a walk through, not a
practice yesterday, Steelers had what amounted to a glorified walkthrough.
Safety Kirby Joseph I said yesterday he was on ir
He's not, but he's got a knee injury. He didn't
practice a Meek Robertson starting cornerback hand was limited. Thomas
Harper's safety. He's trying to get out of the concussion protocol.

(27:25):
He was a full participant. Pens are in Ottawa tonight
to take on the Senators. They were off yesterday and
they have dropped to the third team on the outside
looking in in the playoff chase. They are fourteen nine
to nine for thirty seven points, two points behind. The
Devils were the second wild card at thirty nine points,
but the Panthers and Canadians are now between the Pens

(27:46):
and the Devils.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Otto was trying to get into that mix.

Speaker 12 (27:48):
It's still very crowded and very competitive, but this much,
I think I have figured out. If you never win
a game and all you get is the occasional loser point,
that's probably not going to be good enough.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Probably not, I don't know. It might be going on
a limb.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
On Yeah, no, I think you yeah, yeah, it's pretty accurate.

Speaker 12 (28:09):
Let me walk back a little bit when I said
at six thirty yesterday the Steelers have no chance. It's sports,
you always have a chance. I'm not optimistic about this game.
I understand why, Okay, I just I want to get
that out there in the proper context. I think Detroit
is a better team than the Steelers. I think Detroit
is the more desperate team than the Steelers. And even

(28:30):
with the ravage secondary with Detroit, well, the Bears didn't
have any linebackers and the Chargers didn't have any offensive
lineman and they found a way to lose both of
those games. And oh, by the way, both of those
were on the road. So I'm not optimistic. Let's put
it that way, all right. He's not optimistic, folks.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
They have a chance. You always have a chance. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
An they made a movie about it, James Harrison's podcast.
He's very excited about it. He said, we're lyon Tamers.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Really.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Yeah, I believe though Aaron Rodgers is eleven and six
against the Lions, something like him, he's.

Speaker 12 (29:04):
Probably got a winning record against just about everybody. Yeah,
that was a Green Bay when he was with Green Bay.
You're saying, yeah, yeah, in that division, Yeah, they're not
bringing the packers there.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
No, I see what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Yeah, although you know, who knows Alanizzard might sign, you know,
anything's possible.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (29:26):
I think it's a little overkilled, but I mean I
think they're good with the two guys that brought in.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Well, seems how long it took to get MVS up
to speed. I just can't imagine bringing in another guy
and being like, Okay, learn the offense in three days,
like we just did that twice.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (29:38):
I don't think it was getting MVS up to speed.
I think it was them finally giving up on off
the pot and making the move that needed to be made. Yeah,
because scal Or Fieland was here for forty eight hours. Yeah,
a little longer, and he played Yeah. Yeah, I mean
it's s wide receiver. It's not sending the guy to
the moon.

Speaker 17 (29:58):
Abby's got your news coming up to the hour, the
survivors scavenger hunt all across the country, and a really
wild lawsuit claiming that John Travolta's youngest child is actually Oppressley.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Merril Hodge coming up seven forty five. That story is wild,
by the way. I almost can't follow it. It's so
wild big Cat nine o'clock today, Guy Junker, And when
we return, we'll rate our algorithms.

Streaming twenty four to seven worldwide at dve dot com
and through the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Right, it's the DV Morning Show, Randy, but I'm gonna
along with Abby Krisner and Mike pursud Offer and Ted
Whistle hanging with us as well. And each week we
like to rate our algorithms to see what the other
people in the room are looking at because we all
have a different vantage point of culture. These days, there
is no monoculture anymore. So we're trying, we're attempting to

(31:19):
expand our horizons here.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
We're we're.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Okay, well, let's start first off with Abby's Abby, what
is your algo?

Speaker 2 (31:39):
This week?

Speaker 8 (31:40):
There's this guy that is on TikTok that he tends
to make these comparisons between either NFL players and fast
food chains that they represent. But he's on this kick
now where if NFL players were HBO characters. And I
really like what he's done here this week, But I
should say the one that I grabbed was right before

(32:00):
the Miami wins. You just kind of have to keep
that in mind for the timing here. But he does
start right off with Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 18 (32:07):
Aaron Rodgers Tony Soprano's mom, you know, held a lot
of sway in her day and was very smart and
pretty well respected actually, but has just become kind of
a crotchety old bag that nobody wants around.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Baker Mayfield Kendall.

Speaker 18 (32:22):
Roy really talented a lot of fun to watch, quite
enough sauce to get over the hump and be the number.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
One boy, but like we're all kind of rooting for him.

Speaker 18 (32:32):
And also there's just something about that opening scene with
Kendall with the headphones where he's wrapping in the car,
like I could just fully see Baker doing that. Philip
Rivers baby Billy Gemstone, a spicy Southern boy who is
just addicted to the game, and I absolutely love watching
them both on my TV, and I really hope Philip.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
Survives this weekend. Derrick Henry.

Speaker 18 (32:53):
Derrick Henry is the mountain from Game of Thrones, a gigantic,
unstoppable course that people kept trying to catch out at
different times, and he just keeps coming.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Oh I like that one. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 8 (33:06):
He has multiple videos and so like that was like
part four of.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Many, So I like what he's doing there. Oh yeah,
because there's plenty of stealers that you could just go
down the list and find your favorite HBO classic character.
For tad, what did you have on your algorithm most week?

Speaker 5 (33:22):
I'm always in the market for new insults and what's
old is new again. Here's a guy on TikTok listing
the top seven Teddy Roosevelt insults of all time?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Is this insults about Teddy Roosevelt.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
No insults that Teddy Roosevelt is laying on political rivals.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Oh that's good, Okay.

Speaker 19 (33:41):
Here are the top seven Teddy Roosevelt insults of an
anonymous Supreme Court justice. He said an amiable old fuzzy
wuzzy with sweetbread brains of William Jennings Bryant, he said,
a professional yodeler, a human trombone of William Randolph Hurst,
he said, that leprous spot honor civilization. Of William Howard Taft,

(34:02):
he said, a flub dub with a streak of the
second rate, and the common in him of Woodrow Wilson,
he said, a visiting logafee back by flubb dubs and
molly coddles. Of Henry James, he said, a little emasculated
mass of inanity. And of William McKinley, he said he
had no more backbone than a chocolated Claire.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
I love the human trombone lines, yes, yes, flubb dub,
he said, flub dub twice like chocolate Claire.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
I'm I'm using that one, Roger. All right, Mike, what
was in your algorithm?

Speaker 12 (34:41):
You know, whenever I'm in an NFL game, I like
to see at the end of players from both sides
of congregate in the middle of the field after it's over,
and usually it's former teammates or guys who went to
the same college.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
There's some kind of tie.

Speaker 7 (34:53):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (34:53):
But after the Steelers beat the Dolphins, Miami rookie guard
Jonah Savaia and Naya sought out Cam Hayward. Those two
have no ties whatsoever, but seven seven Naya sought out
Cam Hayward.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Anyway, I keep working, brother.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Hey, what do I need to thanks?

Speaker 13 (35:10):
Bro?

Speaker 7 (35:11):
Hey, just keep the confidence, yeah, you know, keep mixing
it up.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Don't become predictable by these little things.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
If you got all the time in the world. I
absolutely loved that. I saw that video and I was like,
this is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I thought that was really cool.

Speaker 14 (35:29):
Now.

Speaker 12 (35:29):
I tried to ask Cam about it yesterday. He just said,
there's too many live mics. Like he was like being
the big all pro brother to the rookie who's trying
to make his way in the leg and telling him,
you know, giving him a little confidence, give him a
little advice.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
That was That was a cool moment.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
I thought, I agree, uh completely.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
And what was that.

Speaker 12 (35:47):
Guy's name, Jonah Savayah Naya. He's a second round pick
out of Arizona. Pretty good player, yeah, I mean, pretty
good potential player. He's just finding his way. But uh,
I just found it interesting.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
All right. In my algorithm, this one we didn't get
to this week, and this kept popping up, so I
figured this would be a good opportunity to err it.
After the game on Monday night, Aaron Rodgers being asked
about this rag tag group of Pittsburgh Steelers that the
front office is thrown together, and he categorizes them as
cast offs from other teams.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
And then you can hear when he.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Is asked if he considers himself one of those on
the island of misfit veterans.

Speaker 13 (36:32):
If you look at our roster, which it makes it
really special. You know, Kenny Gamwell signed a next to
nothing contract. You know Connor Hayward after thought had a
touchdown run. You know Mark que has been on a
couple of teams. Adam Thielen got cut, Samuel was on
the street for a long time. So it says a

(36:54):
lot about the character of the guys we brought in.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Consider yourself one of those cast offs too, No, I'm
not a kidder.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
It makes it even more impressive what I've done with
this roster of cast offs. Let's all take a manage,
and my greatness.

Speaker 12 (37:13):
What's funny about that? He his attitude. Those guys suck.
I'm not I'm not a caf Adam Thalam asked for
his as for his release, okay, because he didn't want
to play on a bad team exactly for what he
thought was a bad thing.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Out not so bad. Sante Samuel had back.

Speaker 12 (37:35):
Surgery, right, I mean, yeah, Aaron Rodgers is more of
Conor Hayward was a draft pick here and it's been
on the team every year ever since, and he has
had the same role special teams demon and occasional contributor
that his career has been consistent. Rogers is a bigger
cast off than any of those guys, because the Jets
flew him across the country to tell the gobound rocks yes.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
And that's the thing.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
If you can't play it, you can't rewrite everything and
then not be willing to get in that boat with
the cast offfs.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Once again, there are as many cast offs in there as.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
He thought, deeply irritating, and he's unaware, and that's what's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
He's like, look at all these cast offs, and he's like, why.

Speaker 12 (38:17):
I think qualifies because he's been bouncing around since Green Bay.
But other than that, I mean, yeah, Gay, well did
you know he was a backup to Saint Quon Barkley.
So free agency is designed for those guys.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Now, he got a crappy contract as it turns out.

Speaker 12 (38:32):
I mean he's way over overperforming it.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
No, I'm not a cast off, but shut up.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
Instant replied. It's like he knew as he was saying
that that it was about. He's like, uh uh oh,
I'm kind of describing me.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
No.

Speaker 12 (38:47):
You know, Connor Hayward again to fly all the way
across the country and the coach told him hedn't want
him anymore.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Oh wait, that was me.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Ye see what I what I was saying earlier. There's
no shortage of entertainment with the Pittsburg Steeling. We're ready, Yeah, weird.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
On the radio, Abby's got your news.

Speaker 8 (39:06):
Next, what's up the Survivors scavenger hunts all across the country?

Speaker 4 (39:09):
Big Cat nine am this morning. Also Meryl Hodget seven
to forty five.

Speaker 11 (39:13):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They
don't go to the office, They build it and Steelers
Pro Shop get it direct from the team at shop
dot Steelers dot com. Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 20 (39:27):
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.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
That street dates all the way.

Speaker 20 (39:36):
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 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

(39:56):
unanswered points as they bruise their way to victory in
dominant fashion. Success and 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 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

(40:16):
the tune of one hundred and thirty five yards.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
And two rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 20 (40:19):
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. But don't
let that fool you. Detroit's much better than their record.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Let's on. It'll be a.

Speaker 20 (40:34):
Stiff test for the Steelers Sunday, but it's one that
if they pass, could catapult them towards making a serious
playoff run.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
You see the skyline guaranteed human.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Are there is there any harm to parental white lies? Well,
I peok, 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. When I grew up, well,
I be a god too.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Maybe, Well, if you're listening to me and clean your room,
I just remember when you're here every other weekend, you
gotta do what I say.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
It's the people that are telling you, is for sure.
You know, the weekend Dad, a weekend.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
Dad's even though there's different rules in this house and
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 2 (41:43):
I'm gonna throw on true Lies.

Speaker 6 (41:47):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
I'll tell you when that happened to me, it was
awesome because my dad would be like, you're twenty bucks
order Dominoes And I was like, bet we are. I'm
the richest in America. I have HBO and a Domino's
pizza coming. What it could not get any better? Like
two leader of Doctor Pepper, just crushing it, watching movies

(42:12):
that you really weren't supposed to watch. Yeah. Now some
people will say otherwise, but I think that's parenting.

Speaker 8 (42:19):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he's taken care of.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
He's got food, entertainment, and a roof over his head.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Fact, this is going to serve him for the rest
of his life in terms of like the whole Santa
thing and like you know, spreading the Santa vibe with
it only being seven days until Christmas and we're a
week away from Christmas. Have you seen the sketch from
a few years ago on sn now they did with
Ryan Gosling and Vanessa Bear who like move into this

(42:51):
neighborhood and they get invited to a Christmas Eve party
and they're like being welcomed by their new neighbors, and
it becomes very apparent, like the kids now stairs, like, Dad,
when Santa coming, We'll get to bed. No, Santa's up
on the roof right now, I think, and mind Costly
and Vanessa Bear like.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
He's up there right now.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
Oh yeah, And then they start just making out with
it and like getting really hot for each other.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
Like this is it, baby, this is it. Yeah, this
is it.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
And they're acting like those characters in pulp fiction that
you know when they rob the h exactly the kind
of do that over the prospect of meeting Santa.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
It's so bizarre and funny, and I.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Just like, there's the Santa magic.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
You just you can't get away from it.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
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 8 (43:52):
Probably people that get hot for Christmas, like Disney adults.

Speaker 21 (43:56):
Right.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
Oh, I didn't even mean like that, but yeah, there's
people who get horny for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
There's no out about it.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
I mean, I have a buddy who's like, every time
he watches Christmas Vacation, He's like, it's just turned me
on so much. That's Beverly D'Angelo. And I'm like, yeah,
and the other the one girl who's yeah, no, line,
I have a log.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Right.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
You gotta be careful though, 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 because I remember the year, the year but maybe

(44:43):
sixth the year before we were it was inappropriate for
him to still be doing it. And his mom made
like a last desperate play where she like put sleigh
bells on the roof, now the roofs, and she's like, well,
then explain this. Oh no, yeah. It was like the
shroud of turn for him. It was like this art

(45:05):
a fact that you know, couldn't be quabbled with. I
don't have to explain my faith and say it to
you people.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
That's like, He's like, look, when I get done breastfeeding,
I will explain to you.

Speaker 8 (45:16):
I think we learned a lot about his relationship with
his Yeah, something tells me they shared a bed for
a long time.

Speaker 14 (45:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (45:25):
I don't think he's got a normal romantic relationship right now.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
No, probably not anyone but by forever.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
But this is his time of year. I mean, this
is his super Bowl.

Speaker 7 (45:38):
This is it.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
Yeah, Meryl Hodge coming up seven forty five, Big Cat
nine AM, and Guy Junker at nine to forty five.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Abby's got your news right now.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (45:47):
This hour is brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems,
What Basement, Keystone Basementsystems, dot Com Clouds Today and a
high of fifty six Survivor is celebrating season fifty with
a special event that spans the country's and fifty.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Okay, and so they've had multiple seasons per year.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
I've had to because that just sounds impossible.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Right, Otherwise they would have been on like next to
all in the family.

Speaker 8 (46:11):
And this is Jacob's Christmas because Jacob is a big
Survivor fan.

Speaker 22 (46:16):
Have you seen all fifty Survivors Jacob. Yeah, the season
forty nine finale was last night. You've seen all fifty seasons, Randy.
I don't know if I should be ashamed to admit it.
I started watching the like Australian Survivor.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
Of Australia. You can't get off on regular Survivor anymore.
You need the high test stuff you got to get.

Speaker 22 (46:41):
But if you if you ask the people who know,
they'll all tell you the Australian version has become better.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
What's US version? What's better?

Speaker 22 (46:51):
They they just stayed truer to like the original game
that the newer seasons of the US version are a
little copy and Paige, it's a little too focused on
stop stories, you know, like, oh, I'm doing this for
my mom or I'm doing this for my family. It's just,
you know, they used to bring in people of just

(47:11):
like it used to be a social experiment, bringing different people,
and now it's just let's get like the most emotionally
heavy stories we can find and really drawing a crowd.
And the season fifty is supposed to be a celebration
of the show and bringing in old cast members, but
lo and behold, they do a trailer for every upcoming season.

(47:34):
As the last season ends, and lo and Behold. Survivor
fifty was the next season, and then the trailer mister.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
Beast pops up ill exactly.

Speaker 22 (47:44):
Ay, I had the same reaction, and I'm like, I'm out,
I'm gonna watch, but I I it's supposed to be
like this awesome thing where they bring back twenty four
former contestants and then in the middle of the trailer,
mister Beast is there. And I don't remember ever signing
up from Beast to be part of the show, but.

Speaker 8 (48:01):
Now I would go to an island to get away
from a world with mister Beast.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
That's kind of the point. You have watched seven hundred
and thirteen hours.

Speaker 22 (48:13):
Over over decades, though it's not like a Survivors one
year and uh and.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
The Australian Survivor as well, which is how many seasons. Uh,
they're only at thirteen.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Okay, I applaud you. That's that's dedication.

Speaker 22 (48:30):
That's you know, there are those people who watch like
Law and Order that's for SVU sure, or Gray's Anatomy
or er on Loop.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
But that's art, Jacob. It's I don't have to explain
my faith in the pit to you. Uh, that's crazy though,
fifty seasons.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
I had no idea.

Speaker 7 (48:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (48:49):
So the show actually just dropped a video sharing that
the Survivor fifty Challenge now Jacob, is going to begin
on January thirtieth, and it will have fansch for fifty
immunity idols, and there's gonna be one in each state.
So host Jess Probes said that Survivor's always been about
testing yourself, solving problems, facing.

Speaker 4 (49:11):
The unknown, and finding out what you're made of.

Speaker 8 (49:15):
So for twenty five years, fans have watched players take
that journey, and now with this Survivor fifty challenge, we're
letting fans try it for themselves. Fans need to register
on this Survivor fifty website to find out more. There
is a prize that will be awarded who we have
to wait to find out what that is. Are you
gonna go look for one of these idols?

Speaker 22 (49:36):
They advertised this last night during the show, and my
friends and I who watch together, assume it's gonna be
in Philadelphia.

Speaker 8 (49:44):
Why do you think Philadelphia and not Pittsburgh? I mean, we
are going to host the draft. Why are we not
gonna lie? I just that's a good point, Abby.

Speaker 4 (49:51):
I don't know. I just feel like it's under the
Mister Rogers statue.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Are major cities.

Speaker 22 (49:57):
I don't feel like crossing over all right, also too
like i'm i'm, i'm, I'm becoming less invested. I don't need,
I don't need to go searching for this prize and
see the mister Beasts logo.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
It's in a homeless encampment under a bridge over on the.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
North side, sponsored by dude wipes. Go get it, no problem. Well,
all right, well, best of luck to everybody.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
This mister East.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
By the way, if he walked in the room, I
you you could tell me anybody was mister Beast.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
I don't really know what he looks like. Looks like
a college freshman sort of, he does.

Speaker 8 (50:31):
He kind of looks like anybody, which is one of
the things that also makes his appeal like even more
confusing to me.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
He has like one of those.

Speaker 8 (50:39):
Like blonde beard things happening that I that it makes
me insane.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Blonde Beard.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Uh look, it's blonde Beard, the least bear some of
all the pirates. Uh he uh, Spencer Pratt, He's probably
gonna be hosting the Academy Awards when they move it
to YouTube. He should.

Speaker 8 (50:59):
He probably will own yeah, I think so, but he
could own YouTube with how much money he makes. Although
we've talked about a story this year where he kept
saying that he had to borrow money from his mother
to pay for his way because he wasn't liquid or.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Something like that. He makes me crazy.

Speaker 8 (51:22):
I do want to get to this story because it's
really crazy, and we're going to try to put it
together together.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
You're putting your head in your hands.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
I am frustrated. I am frustrated with it.

Speaker 8 (51:33):
John Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston had three
children together, but their youngest child is biologically a Presley,
and I mean Elvis Presley Priscilla Presley. This is according
to a bombshell legal document. Priscilla Presley's former business partner,
Bridget Cruise, is currently suing Priscilla's son, Navarone Garcia for

(51:58):
breach of contract.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
You've never heard of, never Garcia ever in my life.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
Nope, didn't know.

Speaker 8 (52:03):
But what's way more interesting in new legal docs filed
in the case is that Cruse alleges that John and
Kelly used Riley Keow's eggs to give birth to their
son Ben. In the papers, Cruse alleges Michael Lockwood, Lisa
Marie Presley's ex husband, told her Kelly had been unable

(52:24):
to bear her own children. Cruz claims John and Kelly
previously used Lisa Marie's eggs to get pregnant, but they
no longer wanted Lisa's eggs because they did not want
eggs with heroin on them.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Fair, it's fair point.

Speaker 4 (52:40):
It is under. Do you have any eggs without heroin?

Speaker 13 (52:43):
No?

Speaker 8 (52:44):
H It's unclear whether Lisa Marie's eggs ever produced a child.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
However, do eggs have the genetic makeup of if somebody's
on drugs?

Speaker 14 (52:56):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Like?

Speaker 8 (52:57):
I would think that any genetic material can be altered
with whatever you do to your body, you know, same,
the same thing if she had got undergone radiation, you know,
why wouldn't any kind of free radical change your body?

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Who knows what all that two pai glue did to
his sperm?

Speaker 7 (53:14):
You know?

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Yeah, now it's on.

Speaker 8 (53:17):
However, Cruz claims a deal was orchestrated where Riley, one
of Lisa Marie's daughters, gave her eggs to Travolta so
that Kelly could give birth to Ben.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Who is fifteen years old now.

Speaker 8 (53:29):
Cruz claims Riley was given an old Jaguar and ped
between ten to twenty thousand dollars for the deal.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
Okay, so Riley kiowe Yes is from Daisy Joe's in
the six right, correct, She's an actress and too's great
in that by the way. And they're a band from Pittsburgh.
Don't forget that in the story. Oh that's right. She
felt like fictional band from Pittsburgh. So they use her eggs.
She doesn't carry the baby. They just use her very

(54:00):
that's my baby making stuff. And her payment was ten
thousand dollars in a Jaguar. Yeah, I kind of think
that she gave them a huge deal. That's a huge deal.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
I think that is a bargain price for her eggs.

Speaker 8 (54:16):
I think so, too, right. I don't know what eggs
go for. I haven't really loved into it.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
Well in Los Angeles, I would think in Elvis Presley,
egga is a lot more than ten thousand dollars. People
pay a whole lot of money to have a like
a Press league kid.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
I'm imagining the Jaguar to be a complete beater and
Tula being like, hey, what.

Speaker 4 (54:36):
Do you think about this? AH gets you in this today?
I need a couple of eggs. He's like, I bought
it from horseshack and now welcome back Connor set in
nineteen seventy six.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
It's a weird story. I don't know who the brother is.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
The father of that kid is Marco Garibaldi, who was
married to Priscilla Presley, and uh, I don't he was
an entrepreneur.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
I don't know, some rich guy.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
But the kid whose name is Garcia for some reason,
his last name, that kid Navarone Garcia.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
He's he he wanted to be the only heir.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
He's like I was told I was the only male
heir and you have robbed me of that now because
John Travolta's kid is now part Travolta, part Presley. And
how's Marco Garibaldi's Jean's gonna compete with John Travolta's jeans.
No way, that younger kid's gonna be a phenom you watch.

(55:42):
I don't care, I don't.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
Know, No, I'm just like, I guess I'm missing the
part like was it was there a relationship that I
missed between the Travoltas and the Presleys.

Speaker 23 (55:53):
No.

Speaker 21 (55:53):
I guess they were just find and they were just
kind of like, I gotta have.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
An Elvis baby. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (55:58):
I was thinking about it, and at the end of
the day, I gotta have a little Elves baby.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
They'm like, how much for an Elvis baby?

Speaker 4 (56:05):
That's uh? What about a to take a tray? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (56:11):
I got this old Jaguar phantom made up story like
Quentin Tarantino gave me this after we shot pulp fiction.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
It's highly sentimental. How much for a Eddie Cochrane baby?
I don't know, it's just.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
All like that paul Anka. How about a paul Anka baby?
What's an Inca baby going? What's ink Inca? Give me
an Anca egg? What are we looking at? Nope, ooh,
a little bit more than I want to pay two.
Just keep going down the line of the entertainers in
the seventies, late sixties and seventies. It's a wild story.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Cliff Richard, give me a Cliff Richard egg. No, that
too well. I guess in the UK it is worth more.

Speaker 8 (57:00):
I get it, okay, but it does seem like, even
with the car and the money, I wonder if, in
agreeing to that that they were thinking about like you
just said, like an air too.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
That's what it is.

Speaker 8 (57:14):
But that's what I'm saying is when they agreed to
it on the front end, I wonder if they were
going like, oh my god, this kid's gonna have rights to.

Speaker 4 (57:21):
All of this. Yeah, And I'm telling you right now,
I bet Donnie Iris's daughters are listening to this thinking
we missed the bubs.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Jesus, we could have cashed out.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
We know he's got cars.

Speaker 21 (57:33):
Oh god, you could have had it, Iris Egg. Anyways,

You scared me away from going. I was gonna go,
and then you made it sound like I was gonna
have a bad time at the game watching the Steelers
get it depends on the embarrassed and you get out
of games. Well, I want the Steelers to win. The
first and foremost and my last memory of that field
is us winning a Super Bowl. So I don't need

(01:00:09):
to tarnish that high bar.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Pretty good chance. I think this is good tartest thing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:14):
Okay, Well, and I met Robbie robertson Kid Rock, Bob
O'Connor Mario was there. It was like a Who's who
of just random celebs. It was the best time ever.
Robbie big time you No, he was totally cool. I
was having a cigarette on the patio and Robbie Robertson
was just sitting there and I was like Robbie.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
And he was like yeah. And I was like, oh
my god.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Dude, big fan of Rocks Nation in Pittsburgh, blah blah blah.
Can I get a picture to put on the website?
And he's like sure, man, you know, and I took
a picture and I was like Lions fan and he's like,
she's like winsor baby, you know, like talking about Ontario.
I was like, ah, yeah, makes sense. He jumped right
over here, you know, and he was super cool. And
I walked away and I couldn't believe it. And my

(01:01:00):
friends were high fiving Mario while I was doing this,
and I didn't know. Mary walks through and they're they're
like Mary, Odi like gives everyone high fives. I come
back and they're like, dude, you missed it. Mary's five
to everybody and I'm like, no, you missed it. I
met Robbie Robertson and they're like who. I was like,

(01:01:23):
Robbie Robertson from the band, and they're like, from marching
band Lyons, Man, get it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
We met Mary.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
I'm like, I know, but I just met the guy
who wrote the night they drove All Dixie Down.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
They're like, you're a dork.

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
You're the biggest, Like they just teed off on me
because I was so excited about meeting a guy that
had no idea who he was.

Speaker 12 (01:01:47):
I tell you, Robbie Robertson high fives with Mary, I
got a sign with your friends.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
I had a cigarette with Robbie Robertson. You know, cigarettes
with Robbie Robertson, come on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Kind of cool. And I didn't bother him. I didn't
crawl up bizars too much.

Speaker 7 (01:02:00):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
I'm just kind of like, yeah, I know, just talking
about of course you'd be a.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Detroit Lions fan. That makes sense. A movie like The
Hamilton Tiger Cats, I think they did.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
I think they they were proud Canadians.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Canadian football never get it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
No, And in watching that John Candy documentary and the
fact that he owned one of those the Toronto Argonauts,
I believe, and they went to the championship that first year,
and then he got he like became an ambassador for
the sport, and they thought it was going to finally
like cross over now, and then he got fleashed for
a lot of money by a billionaire and that reset

(01:02:37):
and nobody paid attention to anymore.

Speaker 12 (01:02:38):
Probably one of the things they did wrong with Canadian
football was there was a period of time where they
had eight teams and two of them were named rough Riders.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Yeah, they couldn't come up with what more than seven names,
that was the problem.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
One of them smelled it one word and the other
one was rough rider.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
There was a time though, when Doug Flutie went there,
people thought, oh, well, maybe let's start paying attention.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
And then when Rocket There's Meal went there.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
People there was a little thought that, okay, maybe all
of these great American players who are just fringe here
are going to have like a USFL experience. They'll get
paid a lot of money to go to the CFL instead,
And then of course that money never came.

Speaker 12 (01:03:16):
Yeah, it's not like European basketball, right, it just doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Yeah. Sports is Up brought to you by Bridgeville Clients.

Speaker 12 (01:03:22):
Steel is going to play some American football on Sunday
in Detroit against the Lions. Wide receiver Adam Thielen's probably
going to be in the thick of it. Field joined
the Steelers days before the game in Baltimore on December
the seventh, but thanks to some intensive and impressive cramming,
he was able to play against the Ravens, and he
feels like he's gotten himself caught up since then.

Speaker 25 (01:03:45):
So, yeah, I wasn't very good crammer. But I told
my wife that's wunny to say that, because I told
him why there day it's a lot more fun cramming
for something that you really love. So was not good
at that in college. But but football, I really enjoy
the game, and it makes a little bit easier when
you when you really love and enjoy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
What you're doing. It's been like two weeks up to speed, though,
I think, so I feel pretty good. Yeah, I feel pretty.

Speaker 12 (01:04:07):
Good about We get a ramit you scene, if you remats,
you can.

Speaker 10 (01:04:11):
Ram it out.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
Grant you know how to granmit guts.

Speaker 12 (01:04:15):
Crane Steeland showed up in the aftermath of the Steelers'
low point this season, a twenty six to seven loss
at home the Buffalo on November thirtieth. In the aftermath
of that disaster, the wide receivers had some heart to
hearts with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to make sure they
were all on the same page. Here's DK Metcalf.

Speaker 26 (01:04:38):
I think it's just a communication throughout the week. I mean,
I know it started like around the middle of the season,
but like after the Buffalo game, we really sat down
and talked and you know, really got them the same
page about how we see, you know, the game plans
moving forward.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
That was interesting.

Speaker 12 (01:04:52):
They're telling Smith what they wanted to do and what
he thought of what they wanted to do. You alost
hear the offensive coordinators talk about the quarterbacks and well,
if this quarterback's playing, we know he's got some things
in the game plan that he really likes, so we'll
emphasize those, and he's got some things that he doesn't like,
so we take those out. They're they're applying that to

(01:05:13):
the receivers also. There's things there are things the receivers
like to run and things the receivers don't like to run.
And these conversations, according to Metcalf, were not as much
about the details of execution regarding what was called, but
you know, calling what they wanted to have called and
when they wanted to run it.

Speaker 26 (01:05:34):
Oh, yes, sir, I think you know, anytime anybody's being heard,
you know from their point of view, and their point
of view is definitely being executed on game days, you know,
is that much more exciting for you to go out
there and make places?

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
Yeah, you're invested. That makes sense.

Speaker 12 (01:05:47):
Yeah, they're starting to figure it out. Is it too little,
too later? Just in time? I guess we're going to
find out Sunday Steelers at the Lions. Both teams eight
and six, And I think the general perception is one
team is much better than the other one. And I
think that general perception is probably accurate.

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
I will say the one area where they have definitely
improved week to week seems to be offensive line.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Oh, they're playing great.

Speaker 12 (01:06:12):
Did you see what Brian Boldtinger posted about the Yeah,
Bouldinger is just raving. So he didn't have a bad rep. Yeah,
and he's the third fourth guy, fourth left tackle.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
So for all the flak that Pat Meyer carought, you know,
kudos because these guys seem to be uh gelling together.
Although every time they lose. Ayamalu he really does feel
like the lynchpin there.

Speaker 12 (01:06:40):
He is the one veteran guy in that group and
the big brother and the guy who's won and the
guy who's done it all. Yeah, real security blankets the
wrong word. But he's the guy they all lean on.
A fascinating matchup Sunday Troy Fontan who against Aiden Hutchinson.
Hutchinson is a mod started game wrecking edge.

Speaker 7 (01:07:01):
Yes he is.

Speaker 12 (01:07:02):
He's t J Watt at the height of his powers. Yeah,
and uh, that's gonna be a problem. Derek Harmon full
participant yesterday. That's encouraging. No, Isaac Sayamala with the triceps,
know Nick Herbig with the hamstring. I saw you made
a little post about Matthew Judon who got released by Well.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
I was just saying, I'm starting to feel like those
dudes who drive around on trash night with a pickup
look looking for scores. Every time somebody puts something to
the curb, I'm like, I can probably get something.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
For that without what and Herbig.

Speaker 12 (01:07:36):
Potentially that outside linebacker line is really thin.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
Well they signed yeah Moon and one more would be good. Judon.

Speaker 12 (01:07:45):
I think he's not what he used to be, but
he can still play that. They just saw him that. Yeah,
that one would be a layup to me. But we'll
see get in the truck. Let's go tonight. I'm American pickers.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Sometimes he gets some good stuff that way. Yeah, I know, Aaron,
were you one of those things we picked?

Speaker 7 (01:08:07):
No, of course not.

Speaker 4 (01:08:08):
I'm a brilliant quarterback and you're an a hole. I'm dareus.
He just I'm a cast off. Don't pay them Alda either.
Now there's that too.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
What do you think let's just for laughs a suite
to find cast.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
Off because he is definitively a cast off.

Speaker 12 (01:08:27):
The team you have, the team you are on kicks
you unceremoniously to the curb. Yes, he's as not a
contract dispute, it's not a trade.

Speaker 4 (01:08:38):
Just we don't want you anyway, right, that's cast off.
You were cast off.

Speaker 12 (01:08:47):
But what let's say he continues to play if the
level he's played at the last couple of weeks and
for most of the season, and he wants to come
back and play again next year, what do you think
he commands? Did he plays for thirteen million again?

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
I mean, he just might. He's in for the love
of the sports.

Speaker 7 (01:09:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
He's married now, so you know, it depends on what
his wife wants, you know, you may come in more
money for her.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Then this is a QB starve league.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
No question about it, and a development starve league. The
older guys are actually more valuable right now because it's
more about the brains than anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
As long as he can still spin it, and he
can he can spin it.

Speaker 13 (01:09:23):
You know, Kenny Gamwell signed a next to nothing contract.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
You know.

Speaker 13 (01:09:28):
Connor Hayward, after thought, had a touchdown run. You know
Marquest been on a couple of teams. Adam Thielen got
cut h Samuel was on the street for a long time.
So says a lot about the character of the guys
we brought in.

Speaker 4 (01:09:44):
Considering yourself one of those cast offs.

Speaker 13 (01:09:46):
Too, No, I'm not a kiss that's a stupid question.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
I'm okassing color. Hayward had a touchdown run.

Speaker 4 (01:09:53):
The hell you telling them you are?

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
He accepted a snap and got something in the end.

Speaker 5 (01:09:57):
So yeah, we're just a bunch of plucky young bums.

Speaker 4 (01:10:02):
No hope.

Speaker 5 (01:10:03):
You know, if it wasn't for this to be the CFL,
what about you?

Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
What could have gone?

Speaker 27 (01:10:12):
Even?

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
What did you just say? Security leave leave?

Speaker 7 (01:10:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
I mean everybody he named there was only one cast
offs scaling. Yeah, maybe he did it for MVS.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Yeah, he was should put him in his place?

Speaker 5 (01:10:37):
Well, no, just to be like, yeah, come on, Mark,
there's some other bums on the team.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
It's not just you, it's not me, but right, do you.

Speaker 4 (01:10:46):
Consider yourself one of those cast offs? No, you're an idiot.

Speaker 12 (01:10:51):
I'll tell you what that's about. The first hint of
ego that he's shown. I I mean, I don't tell
playing that card.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
He's got many of those cards in his hand.

Speaker 4 (01:11:03):
Well, I think that his perception on that is I
am a Hall of Famer, I'm not a cast off.
I'm not on the island of misfit toys like I
am still a highly desired quarterback performing in the like
at a level. I think he was number eleven in
QBR in the league after Monday night, you know, top third.

(01:11:24):
Pretty high. Yeah, And I think that he sees it
as a sign of disrespect to lump him in with
Connor Hayward, who definitively is not a cast off. He
actually got a job right out of the draft and
never lost it.

Speaker 12 (01:11:36):
I think Rogers was trying to pump the tires of
some of his teammates, as he has tried to do
all year. And I think he just kind of fumbled
it there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
Yeah. I think he was just trying to say unherlded guys.

Speaker 4 (01:11:45):
Yeah, but cast offs was probably the wrong word, and
that's why I think he was like, no, I'm not
a cast off. Damn, I shouldn't have a cast off.
I was really dune as I was saying it out loud.
I realized I am a cast off. And now I've
just did something really disparaging about myself the Packers.

Speaker 12 (01:11:58):
The Packers drafted my placement that booted me while I
could still play. And then I went to another team
and it was a disaster for two years and they
booted me, and now.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
Here I am.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
I'm the poster boy for Castle.

Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
He's like, I'm a cast on. Okay, you cast me
on to the team. I'll see what Merril Hodge has
to say about that. He's gonna join us with. I

Speaker 7 (01:15:14):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 12 (01:15:15):
Before we get into the Steelers Lions, gotta mentioned what
the incredible job Meryll did is the MC at the
Hall of Honor banquet on Sunday.

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
Oh well, boy, couldn't have a more perfect person for that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Maryland didn't know you had that club in your bag.

Speaker 7 (01:15:32):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Great job.

Speaker 14 (01:15:33):
Wait listen, Mike, it's coming from you. I really appreciate that.
Thank you. That was as special night as you. They
all are and there's not one that but they just
get better and better. And the guys they put in Joey
and Marquis and Ben I mean three league.

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Guys right there, Yeah, no question.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
I mean Joey Porter, it's so fun to watch the
legacy continue with his son, and Joey Porter Jr. Has
gotten a whole lot better as he's continued to play
for the Steelers. I mean he came in with high expectations.
I think people were a little at first frustrated by
some of the penalties he was taking, but that that's
part and parcel of the game.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
When you want to be a shutdown guy.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
He's like figuring out that nu once and becoming the
guy who doesn't get called all the time. You can't
complain about his performance this year, Meryl.

Speaker 14 (01:16:22):
He's going He's on the right trajectory. Let's just put
it that way. You know, nobody comes in and masters
this game.

Speaker 4 (01:16:27):
But you have to work at it.

Speaker 14 (01:16:29):
And as long as you're working at it, I'm sure
what your position is and getting better, that's all you.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
Can ask of. Yeah, he might have been out of
position against the Bills a few times, but in terms
of plass coverage.

Speaker 14 (01:16:41):
No, and you know what I an actually are that
he's gotten better at it would make him separate him.
There's two things, like he was really handsy at Penn State,
really handsy. You know, he's had to learn to deal
with that and try not to be his hands he
in the NFL. But his willingness to go tackle people
and make play in that arena, that is that's an

(01:17:04):
everybody separate yourself. You know, if you can cover in,
you can any tackle and you're you're not afraid of that,
then you started coming special. And he's growing in those
areas to your point, he really is.

Speaker 4 (01:17:16):
Now other things defensively for the Steelers that we're concerning
the run defense. You know, they didn't exactly get gashed
without Derek Harmon the other night, which I was glad
to see U no doubt about it. They you know,
Cam had a good game and why Black stepped up
Benton as well.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Against Detroit. They're really going to.

Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
Have to make sure that that defensive line effort is
as good as they can put forward. Harmon coming back
is crucial, and it appears he had a full practice yesterday, Mike,
so that looking good because without him, with gibbson Montgomery,
that's just a tough one too.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
To deal with. Some backups, Well, I can.

Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
Just kill you this.

Speaker 14 (01:17:58):
They won't take them long as you plug in some
tape and you see Jamar Gibbs, you'll be like both
their backs and then they bring.

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
The compliment each other. Well, they're wicked, they're dangerous.

Speaker 14 (01:18:10):
Jamar Gibbs, he's probably he's clearly in the top five
of offensive players. You can maybe sitting argue in one
and two EXA's aw banantic the kid is and what
makes him scary. What's hard is that it's so easy
to get him the ball, you know, you can just
turn around handed to him. But they also move him

(01:18:31):
all over the place, which is another big concern. So
he has the problem teams that can hold him in bay.
And you know what I mean is that he doesn't
really get like a twenty yard run on you, a
thirty yard run on you, like a home run on you.
That's what you're trying to avoid, you know, if you're
gonna get survive eight nine tens, eleves, yes, and he

(01:18:51):
just but if you can hold him to that those
type of runs.

Speaker 7 (01:18:55):
You've done a good job.

Speaker 14 (01:18:56):
But he's got the only guy that's the other problem.

Speaker 7 (01:18:58):
He's the guy.

Speaker 14 (01:19:00):
They would be the greatest test, you know, on the
road to In that environment, you find out who you are,
who you really are, and this is when you want
to find out who's playing you want to be playing
your best. This is you struggle all year to get
to this point, to really start playing consistent football. And
the teams that do that, you know, they moved out.
They move right into the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Meryl, you mentioned this isn't the only guy. Far from it.

Speaker 12 (01:19:24):
I mean, these guys are number one in points per game,
they got the pedal down since Stan Campbell took over
the play calling and they're getting more splashed. Can these
guys be stopped or do they have to be outscored
if you're the Steelers.

Speaker 14 (01:19:38):
But the only way you can out the only way
you can truly stop. So all the people we just
talked about, yeah they're concerned, but then we really forgot
where we got to win, and you got to win
if you win the last of scrimmage, if you constantly
put their quarterback under stress, that's the only th Those
only teams that have held them down, they've been able
to win the lat of scrimmage and went play on

(01:20:02):
the other side a consistent amount of plays and stretch
their quarterback. That's that's that's how you neutralize them. I
don't know that, you know, listen, you have a plan
and then you play the game, and then you adjust
the plan, and then you react to what takes place.
I think, I really, you know, it isn't about trying
to get in there and outscore them, because they can

(01:20:25):
with as good or better than anybody a case. Better
to try to neutralize them, you know, the best you can.
But then oftense, you have to do your part too. Okay,
like the game we just played Miami, I don't think
people really probably could appreciate how good you know, Randy,
you mentioned how we weren't that good against the run. However,
all the teams that have played them in the last

(01:20:45):
six weeks, I bet we.

Speaker 7 (01:20:46):
Were the best.

Speaker 14 (01:20:47):
I don't know what the statistics are tech them.

Speaker 7 (01:20:49):
I don't care.

Speaker 14 (01:20:49):
I just know that the way they handled their running game,
based on how they were running the football, they completely
neutralized them and then they completely took their offense away.
So that's awfully what you have to do against Detroit.
You got to neutralize them the best you can consistently, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
Then you have a chance.

Speaker 14 (01:21:06):
They ever tukout offenses on the film, you're either changing
field position or you're scoring points offensively.

Speaker 4 (01:21:12):
For the Pittsburgh Steelers, they seem to have turned a corner.
Gainwell had a great game the other night. I still
I am a Jalen Warren fan, and I know that
he was sick, so I wasn't expecting as much as
we even got out of him. I think what it
really kept him from doing was having that burst after
contact that we see him have sometimes. You know, I
think he was dealing with you know, high temperature flu situation,
and it's a wonder he was even out there. But

(01:21:34):
Gainwell was absolutely outstanding catching the ball and running the ball.
Offensive line seems to be jelling nicely, and the passing
game is taking on a different dynamic with Scanlon and feeling.
And you saw Scanlon with a touchdown DK with the
big one where he just you know, postered.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
Minka on his way into the end zone.

Speaker 4 (01:21:54):
Can we expect this going forward to continue to get
better now that they have those piece is in place
where it's like, all right, Aaron Rodgers has you know,
Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin weren't doing quite as much to
draw attention away from DK, and now all of a
sudden it seems like DK's getting some space.

Speaker 7 (01:22:15):
Correct.

Speaker 14 (01:22:16):
Well, I would say this, you just glanced over it.
But the thing that has changed this offense the most
actually has been how consistent they've been up front.

Speaker 7 (01:22:24):
They've just been so.

Speaker 4 (01:22:25):
Much better as a group.

Speaker 14 (01:22:26):
You know, mind they've changed, you know, their left side
has changed. They got three they're on the third tackle,
their second guard. But there was you didn't know that,
you didn't know that they were missing that's credit to
you know, the players and the coaches for doing that.
So that is as long as they keep stabilizing that
and find keeping that consistency. You know, I thought sixty

(01:22:48):
was he was incredible, you know. I think seventy one
that got hurt was was that his number? Seventy one?
Nine seventy one, Yeah, seventy one. I mean both have
played really consistent football. For the left side, you know,
the whole they've been so much better there. You know,
they're past blocking, they're run blocking. So once that's gets better,

(01:23:11):
just everything else gets better. That often gets ignored. As
soon as you know, they start playing better, all these
other positions start playing better than we Just that's all
we talk about. We forget that. It starts and ends
up front. And I'll tell you the other thing. Actually,
I was going to say this last week.

Speaker 15 (01:23:23):
I was like I missed it.

Speaker 7 (01:23:24):
Gosh damn.

Speaker 14 (01:23:25):
I mean, because they get no credit, but they do
get kind of ripped when they don't play well. If
our tight end group has been terrific and then run
blocking and that, I mean, I've just been a sort
of by rde receivers. I mean, as a group, they
have really made things different. You know, talk about game,
we'll get into the perimeter and stuff. It's just because
how well they're doing on the perimeter blocking for him,

(01:23:47):
you know. So yes, as long as they can't building
on that, I mean, I ran, I don't think there's
any reason that you you know, you don't see growth
from what you saw against Miami.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
I hope so, I certainly hope. So Aaron Rodgers looked
as good as he has all year in that game.

Speaker 14 (01:24:04):
You know why, right, But you know why if you
walk if you went back and watch the first five
weeks and then this the last few weeks, like his
the time he has the pucket is like a second more. Now,
that sounds like nothing. That's an a turney in the
National Football League, an eternity, you know, and I played better.
Of course, if he'll play that, he'll continue to play
like that.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
At the end of that time, there was a play
where he was anticipating that he was going to be
getting pressure from the blind side and he reacted like
he was about to get hit and there was nobody there.
And I think it was because he's just so used
to that being the point when he's in the pocket
where he'd be going down that he was just bracing

(01:24:44):
for and then he's like, oh, nobody's there, you know,
because Dylan Cook was doing such a great job on
the left tackle that all of a sudden he had
a little bit more time. And I'm wondering if he'll
adjust to that going forward and think like, okay, because
that might have made him for making I think I
think he's still made a completion on that, but I
just wonder if he's going to factor that in going forward.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):
Out a doubt.

Speaker 14 (01:25:07):
The same way, when you start trusting people, you start
playing better. When you don't trust people, you start blanking,
you start flinching. So you can see that that trust
is becoming better and better with that group. That's why
I can tell you it's like I was really impressed
by how many times they rotated there, but yet truly
been consistent over these last few weeks. It's it's a
great sign.

Speaker 4 (01:25:27):

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 2 (01:28:42):
Business is business.

Speaker 4 (01:28:43):
But Mario might come back now because he just hated
the FSG people because they you know, they boned them
on five million dollars. It's just like less than one percent,
yeah of the deal, yeah on the sale. They're like, no,
they did it just to be kind of spiteful.

Speaker 30 (01:28:58):
So he was like, Okay, I'm taking my shit, oh
Margo and going home.

Speaker 7 (01:29:01):
Are you look that?

Speaker 8 (01:29:03):
If he sits back up in the box gladiator style
has the thumb ready to go.

Speaker 4 (01:29:08):
Yeah, up or down? Into it?

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
If that's how we pull goaltenders from now on, I'm
into it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:14):
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. Adam's got a news update
now for you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
Is this hour brought to you by wind Donation.

Speaker 8 (01:29:34):
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 Time Square
New Year's Eve celebration. The giant, seven foot tall numerals
for twenty twenty six will arrive on the Broadway Plaza.
The numbers will stay on the plaza that's located between

(01:29:56):
forty six and forty seventh Streets, with members of the
public having the opportunity to take photos with them until
December twenty third.

Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
Afterwards, the giant.

Speaker 8 (01:30:05):
Twenty twenty six will take a short rest before being
placed atop the one Time Square, officially completing the sign
that will light up at midnight on December thirty.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
First, have you ever done the Times Square New Year's Eve? Yes?
And I left. 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 2 (01:30:30):
That sounds awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:30:31):
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 2 (01:30:37):
We kind of it.

Speaker 4 (01:30:39):
It's so not appealing to me that I really just
didn't feel like I missed anything.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
There was nothing left.

Speaker 4 (01:30:48):
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 tonight.
Certainly there'll be a big no nothing.

Speaker 7 (01:30:59):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:31:00):
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 that the main
people on, you know, it's like very B C level
record company signees that are you know and now Chantelle
you know who.

Speaker 8 (01:31:20):
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. Oh, they're always fun on New Year's sy
they always pull out something good. The night we saw him,
they did, they did.

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
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 Kim come out and
play with him. And the third set was Almond Brothers
and he had Jack Pearson, who was one of the
original well not original, he was the one at filled
in after Warren left the band the first time, and
he's a legendary guitar player, and so they just crushed

(01:31:55):
all these Almond Brothers songs.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
It was amazing. But at any rate, the.

Speaker 4 (01:31:58):
Time Square aspect of things did not really appeal to me.
It's a little too chaotic for me. There's too many people,
a lot of people. Where do yun pe?

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
Where do yup? Where do up?

Speaker 5 (01:32:13):
You don't have to go to Times Square to wear
a diaper on New Year See. 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 (01:32:30):
I mean it's not really I mean I've never not
done it.

Speaker 4 (01:32:35):
But I I have less of a need to do
that than in past years.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
I mean that was usually back in the day, that
was like, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
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,
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 soar past midnight, don't
get me wrong. Yeah, do you go hard ted? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:33:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:33:04):
You know what I've done several times in like the
last five or ten years is a there's a bar
by my house yea, and they do the fifty dollars
catered food.

Speaker 4 (01:33:16):
Oh yeah, oh you can drink.

Speaker 5 (01:33:18):
And you're like, well, I can't leave it a one
forty five No, how could I could?

Speaker 4 (01:33:25):
There's still food I.

Speaker 2 (01:33:26):
Paid for this.

Speaker 5 (01:33:27):
It would be financially irresponsible, yes, for me to leave
right now.

Speaker 8 (01:33:32):
Every minute you stay, the money goes a little further, right.

Speaker 5 (01:33:36):
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, and it's usually some kind
of gross liquor that you really don't need. Schlogger, there's

(01:33:58):
flakes of gold in there, and you know what, And
I could find those flakes later if I was so motivated.

Speaker 2 (01:34:04):
And then you realize you're insane and it's time to
go home.

Speaker 4 (01:34:07):
Yes. 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,

(01:34:30):
we can 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.
It was very like.

Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
It was like a It was just not our scene.

Speaker 4 (01:34:50):
Everyone was dressed up and they were very fashionable and
it was like a little tilted urban, you know what
I mean, And we aren't, 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. And
I remember my brother had his bottle of champagne and
he was like, let's go, and then he smashed the
bottle on the ground.

Speaker 27 (01:35:12):
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 you know, everyone's like jumping for cover.

Speaker 15 (01:35:26):
Thing.

Speaker 4 (01:35:26):
He was like a gunshot and it'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 whole game, there was there was
blow up mattresses on the floor and my brother had
glass all like his shoes. Dude, he popped and he's

(01:35:49):
like walking around and then he's like so anyways, he's
like I didn't do that, you get it? Why did you?
And so my other brother's like, I just on one
of those you know, the like marble floors that they
have in those places you know that it's just like
no relief at all. It was the most miss Everybody

(01:36:09):
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.

Speaker 5 (01:36:22):
Every crew has a guy, he's the guy yeah who's like, yeah,
well we're leaving, okay, yes, there we go and they're
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

(01:36:43):
not welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
It was bad.

Speaker 4 (01:36:45):
So, you know, just there's like you say, there is
always one of those guys in the crew.

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Unfortunately, one of my brothers fits the bill for that.

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
Uh And it was it was like me and my
three brothers and our friends and so we're all just
looking at him like, did you just really just.

Speaker 15 (01:37:00):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:37:01):
I thought it would be fun.

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
I thought we were having fun.

Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
And he thought it was awesome. He thought you're welcome.
Yeah I did do.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
It, because you know, the guy that does that stuff
never sees a problem.

Speaker 7 (01:37:10):
With it.

Speaker 4 (01:37:10):
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 will play and
it would be two hundred dollars, which sounds like a lot,

(01:37:32):
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, and
you can easily blow two hundred bucks just bar hopping
on New Year's Dude, you could do that at Red Beards.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
Yeah, hundred percent yes, because I did it Red Beards.

Speaker 4 (01:37:57):
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. Y had a saxophone and
he played careless whisper. It was outstanding. It was like
a midnight everyone.

Speaker 15 (01:38:10):
Oh the baby god.

Speaker 4 (01:38:12):
That gets through that and then wow, that's gonna dance again.

Speaker 2 (01:38:22):
I think I did Howlers one year.

Speaker 4 (01:38:26):
Yeah, when I think Harlan Twins played Howlers is one
of those if I could wave a wand you know,
I always thinking, if you wave a wand he could
bring one place back. Yeah, that would be fun for
food BBT, for a small venue with cheap drinks, probably hours.

Speaker 8 (01:38:44):
Yeah, I fixed the acoustics outside of that hours, right Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:38:50):
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 2 (01:38:58):
I don't want to be at a big party.

Speaker 4 (01:38:59):
I also don't want to 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 5 (01:39:06):
It's like it's not a big enough percentage of the
of the group, right yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:39:11):
Yeah, I don't want to meet new people on a
night like that. I need to be able to decompress,
be myself.

Speaker 4 (01:39:17):
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 but failure. No, as soon as
I hear mask party. I think mouth stuff, the mouth stuff. Yeah,
I feel like somebody's gonna try mouth stuff. I don't

(01:39:38):
want that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
Hey, I like your look. Ready to see the ball drop?
What now?

Speaker 7 (01:39:45):
What now?

Speaker 2 (01:39:46):
What are you saying right now?

Speaker 4 (01:39:48):
Get away from me?

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:39:49):
The other super fun thing that I've done a few
times on New Year's is Irish New Year's Wait. I
don't know what that is.

Speaker 2 (01:39:57):
What do they do? Six pm? It's New Year's Eve
and Ireland.

Speaker 4 (01:40:01):
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.

Speaker 15 (01:40:15):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:40:15):
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 5 (01:40:23):
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, oh no, there's no question.

Speaker 4 (01:40:33):
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 know who the Love of God goes with?

Speaker 30 (01:40:46):
The wayte turn the minutes two hours, He's like, holy cow, five,
I went by. We've been drinking tennis all afternoon. They're
supposed to be home, and my life's real mad. I
swear only been here ten minutes. That's what it feels like.

Speaker 7 (01:41:06):
Though.

Speaker 4 (01:41:07):
You're like, I'll have another beer. And then someone's like,
holy's it's one thirty. It's last call, last call? Yeah,
I mean, isn't that funny? Like that is the way
that last call is said, like everywhere at last call,
like the incredulous. Yeah right, what are you closing early?
It's ten fifteen?

Speaker 2 (01:41:26):
Oh, it's one fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:41:29):
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 Call them two days later.

(01:41:52):
Did I leave my car?

Speaker 7 (01:41:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:41:53):
We were forty eight percent on it. Yeah that checks
you earned it. Yeah, you can keep that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:58):
It's the windowless bars.

Speaker 5 (01:41:59):
It's there's there's a couple of 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? I don't know, seven thirty,
it's eleven fifty eleven forty eight to be precise.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
Yeah, that's my basement.

Speaker 4 (01:42:21):
That used to basement. That happened 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?

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
And then it's like four, Joe, it's four.

Speaker 4 (01:42:43):
He's like, what you know, face down out of the couch,
three hours of sleep, drive.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
To do the next gig.

Speaker 4 (01:42:49):
It happens when you look, 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

(01:43:11):
snowplows that come in when you sleep in your brain.
But I've forgotten 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. It really is. I'm like,
that is the best rationalization I've ever heard. Yeah, objectively
terrible for you and every other way.

Speaker 2 (01:43:29):
But good for the soul.

Speaker 5 (01:43:31):
Yeah, I get that tattooed on my ribs or something.

Speaker 4 (01:43:34):
So when I got my blood work done, I asked
my doctor, I'm like, what are my soul numbers? Oh?
You know, Mark, Oh, my blood sugar is incredibly high.

Speaker 7 (01:43:45):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:46):
Oh okay, but the soul doesn't bow. I got okay.

Speaker 4 (01:43:48):
So you're not treating the whole patient. That what you're saying.

Speaker 8 (01:43:52):
So you don't believe in the art of medicine, gotcha.

Speaker 4 (01:43:57):
It's like, well, your liver numbers are through the room
if I'm very concerned about your kidneys, but.

Speaker 2 (01:44:03):
You're doing great in the soul department. You are having fun.

Speaker 4 (01:44:06):
I'll tell you what, sir, You're legally dead.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
Guy Junker.

Speaker 4 (01:44:11):
A little bit later on this morning, Big Cat coming
up at nine o'clock, and a Pittsburgh themed Hallmark Christmas
movie that will play you the trailer for Buckle Up.

Speaker 10 (01:44:21):
DVEs.

Speaker 6 (01:44:22):
Chad Tyson has your soundtrack for the road. He's got
a reloaded cut from the DVE Morning Show Sports and
a Workforce commercial three hour at three afternoons with Chad
Tyson on DVE from.

Speaker 24 (01:44:36):
The Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional Sir Scions.

Speaker 4 (01:44:41):
Sunday for twenty five kickoff right here on your radio
home of the Steelers, Steve Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:44:45):
Brought to you by Bridgeal Appliance. It is a big one.

Speaker 12 (01:44:49):
The Steelers collapsed last December, but with winds over the
Ravens and Dolphins, they're threatening.

Speaker 2 (01:44:56):
To flip the script this time around. Here's tight End
Pat Freerm Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:45:00):
I mean, I guess I wouldn't say like our confident well,
my at least has changed. I just think we're we're
we're hitting our stride right now. But you know, obviously
we can't be satisfied. We win two games early in December,
and we got three big games left and obviously this
one of the shot is kind of like a one

(01:45:21):
of those statement games where we can really take that,
take it and keep going.

Speaker 12 (01:45:24):
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 gonna be hard not to believe, right.

Speaker 4 (01:45:38):
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, the 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 well. And if you

(01:46:01):
get beat because the other team is better and you're
not making huge mistakes, that happens. There's there's a way
you can lose and still feel okay about the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (01:46:10):
Forty eight to sixteen wouldn't be it. That's my point.

Speaker 12 (01:46:13):
Yese lines this boat racing up and down.

Speaker 4 (01:46:17):
The road field like the Dolphins just they felt so
bad about it that after a four game winning streak,
they benched their quarterback after losing.

Speaker 2 (01:46:27):
That's how bad their effort was. And they're doing the
right thing.

Speaker 4 (01:46:30):
Everybody agrees and They probably should have done it a
long time ago. He has no business playing in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:46:34):
Had to when you're winning four in a row.

Speaker 4 (01:46:37):
I'm wondering if he's going to be the like the
biggest disparity between production versus pay in NFL history.

Speaker 12 (01:46:46):
Somebody put a thing on Twitter yesterday next landing spot
for Tua that had like Viking Steelers Seahawks publics.

Speaker 4 (01:46:55):
Oh man, Oh no, I mean JaMarcus Russell comes to
mind when it comes to like, you know, he earned,
but think of this thirty nine million.

Speaker 5 (01:47:11):
He was the second to last big rookie deal before
they amended the rookie salary.

Speaker 4 (01:47:16):
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,

(01:47:38):
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 12 (01:47:44):
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 got to be able to play in the cold
if you're going to play in the NFL. Yeah, particularly
if you're playing and you played Buffalo.

Speaker 4 (01:48:01):
In New England, right, well, you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:48:04):
There's not working around that.

Speaker 4 (01:48:05):
I mean, there are some NFC teams where you can
kind of sneak in with maybe one cold game of year.
There are. Yeah, if you're in the AFC East, you're
playing cold weather games.

Speaker 2 (01:48:18):
That's why I don't get these teams.

Speaker 12 (01:48:20):
Minnesota went to a dome, Cleveland's going to go to
a dome.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
Detroit went to a dome.

Speaker 4 (01:48:26):
Why do you see Chicago's talking about moving their stadium
to Northern Indiana.

Speaker 2 (01:48:33):
Dome, no domb. I think that's a I think that's
a no dome.

Speaker 4 (01:48:37):
I'm not sure though, but like I don't understand why
they're doing any of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
Cleveland should feel bad about going dome.

Speaker 4 (01:48:45):
You know it's gonna end up being the biggest mistake
that they ever made. Well, that's quite all a couple
of sick statements.

Speaker 5 (01:48:53):
Just whatever the next big move is is like, oh,
this could really do it.

Speaker 4 (01:48:59):
You don't know how it goes for them? 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. Is
like the Mount Rushmore carving. You know it'll be cursed
from day one. Where the roof will league, It'll be

(01:49:20):
on top of a Native American burial ground cemetery.

Speaker 12 (01:49:24):
Yeah, yeah, I'm unfamiliar with the history about Rushmore.

Speaker 4 (01:49:27):
Were there a lot of cashule, Yeah, a lot of
people died on that falling off a Abraham Lincoln's nose.

Speaker 2 (01:49:34):
What a way to go. Not a good way before
every Browns game.

Speaker 5 (01:49:38):
Just a moment of silence for the forty concrete workers
entombed below the stadium.

Speaker 4 (01:49:47):
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 2 (01:49:57):
That four hundred workers. Nobody died.

Speaker 4 (01:50:00):
Oh wow, I.

Speaker 2 (01:50:03):
Feel better about having never seen it.

Speaker 4 (01:50:05):
Several dozen were traumatized from having to work in nostrils
for that long though, Yeah, lots of books. So I
wasn't work today, honey, I was in Roosevelt's nostril for
nine hours.

Speaker 12 (01:50:16):
How do you think it was bully Derek Carmon force yesterday?
That's good news? Uh left Nick Herbig Wait, Roosevelt didn't practice,
Isaac say Mahler didn't practice, James Pierre didn't practice.

Speaker 15 (01:50:35):
T J.

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
Watt didn't practice. I don't think TJ. Wat's playing.

Speaker 4 (01:50:41):
I think it's safe to assume that. I hope Derek
Carmon does.

Speaker 2 (01:50:46):
Seems like I mean, he was full God. I don't
see any reason why he wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:50:49):
At this point, Sande Samuel play 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 secondary from that game
against the Dolphins.

Speaker 5 (01:51:03):
Yeah, there's a meatball that Toa threw up that Samuel
picked up.

Speaker 4 (01:51:07):
Yeah, and who knows how many wide open receivers he
missed the entire game.

Speaker 2 (01:51:15):
I have not looked at the all twenty two. I
didn't see a ton.

Speaker 12 (01:51:18):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:51:29):
I would like to see them use smooth more. I
really would. I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (01:51:33):
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 12 (01:51:41):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
So it's not as if you know other.

Speaker 12 (01:51:58):
People are doing it, they just can't get it to
them because other people are doing I mean there there
are there's a glaring need for more playmaking.

Speaker 7 (01:52:06):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (01:52:06):
He's caught thirty one balls on forty targets this year.

Speaker 2 (01:52:12):
That's pretty good, pretty good.

Speaker 12 (01:52:14):
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 2 (01:52:25):
Only the Raiders at forty three percent are worse. Bad
company to keep.

Speaker 12 (01:52:30):
I mean, did you see Kenny pickettstack the way you
think a tight end, the little play action boot to
the tight end on third and six can get your
first out. And you know if they're going to try
to possess the ball as they did against Miami. You
cannot have something approaching half your drives end with.

Speaker 4 (01:52:47):
Three and out, you know, I just remember how many
first downs Heith Miller got us, you know, third and three,
Ben Quick one Steelers down.

Speaker 2 (01:53:01):
Maybe they'll get to them eventually, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:53:03):
On the way, Big Cat from Barstool Sports, pardon my take,
and big news for them yesterday they're moving from YouTube
to Netflix. So now he's a Netflix employee. Gonna ask
him how he feels about that. He's on Fox the
Game Day?

Speaker 7 (01:53:21):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:53:21):
Which one is there is called? I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:53:25):
Big nuon Big Noon. That's right, the Big New Kickoff.

Speaker 4 (01:53:28):
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 2 (01:53:40):
This is a good one.

Speaker 4 (01:53:41):
Could you play something for me?

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
The answer is always yes.

Speaker 6 (01:53:44):
When you build.

Speaker 14 (01:53:45):
The menu, you know what that would make my day
so much better?

Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
You all request the Electric Lunch weekdays at noon on
DV E.

Speaker 2 (01:53:54):
Ninety four point five three WS.

Speaker 4 (01:54:01):
Well, Merry Christmas, you did dons. It's the DV Morning
Show Randy Bauman with Abbey Christner, Mike Pursuit a 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,

(01:54:24):
and they try to pinpoint every demographic that might jump
in and 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

(01:54:45):
house in Crafton from her bougie condo in the Strip District,
the last thing she expected to find was a ghost
of Christmas past tank Philip Kowski. Gina, what are you
doing here helping my mom recover from her foot water
removal surgery? What did you do here fixing your Pittsburgh party?

Speaker 5 (01:55:01):
Because your cousin Chip claud did a Thanksgiving Good is
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 wings and darts.

Speaker 2 (01:55:12):
You should come.

Speaker 4 (01:55:13):
I can't.

Speaker 8 (01:55:14):
I'm planning the Mayor's Christmas jingle ball at the PPG
play skating.

Speaker 4 (01:55:16):
Rink, and I have to make sure the ice is okay.
It's freezing out, the ice will be fine.

Speaker 8 (01:55:20):
No, I mean, I need the immigration police to sweep
the area of all the vagrants.

Speaker 4 (01:55:24):
I can't just stay and crafted forever.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
Gina, Hey, for real, come get hammered with us. This
time of the year.

Speaker 4 (01:55:31):
Holiday magic can find you in the unlikeliest of places,
draft spirits, drunk in the cabby. You're struck again? What
is this high school? Actually?

Speaker 5 (01:55:39):
Yeah, this is a high school. We should probably not
stay parked here. I'm for sure pushing point oh eight.
But I just want to ask you.

Speaker 4 (01:55:47):
You know what this is? Is that mistletoe?

Speaker 13 (01:55:50):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:55:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:55:51):
I'm sincerely asking you what it is. I just pulled
it out of my teeth. But I only had one
bite of salary.

Speaker 4 (01:55:57):
You know. I'm real glad your mom had her footwork's
removed me too. And when the spirit of Christmas comes knocking,
will you let it come inside? Good morning, Merry Christmas.
Why are we in my childhood bedroom? Oh my god,
did we sleep together last night? Please tell me we
use the condom. No way, Wait, aren't you on when

(01:56:23):
your original Christmas plans fall through? It's time for a
plan b Christmas tonight on the Hallmark Channel. This would
never work between us. You're a plumber master plumber, right,
and I'm the assistant to the mayor. And I'm technically
still married to Terra.

Speaker 5 (01:56:41):
But who cares. I think we could be great together.
Plus I could really use your health insurance.

Speaker 4 (01:56:46):
Who there's the drumster pull over. I'll over from here,
lose my number and forget this happened. Gena wait, Jana,
I promise to text you every time I could stop
a plan Bess tonight on the Hallmark Channel. Well, those
you know that's like destined to be, like the Pittsburgh
gets a Wonderful life, I think perspective. Yeah, I hope

(01:57:10):
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 of those

(01:57:31):
is like they make up these events that just are
so ridiculous they steer into the skid almost of the joke.

Speaker 2 (01:57:39):
At this point, I was.

Speaker 8 (01:57:41):
Wondering if you two were coming to the Green Pine
Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights, Christmas Tree
Decorating Contest finalistclat.

Speaker 31 (01:57:49):
Hey, Yeah, I just wanted to know if you were
coming to the Twinkle Twinkle Jingle Jaco Merry Christmas Snowflake
winn Pine Cone, Fuzzy Men Decorating Dance, Dance Revolution, hasslinging,
mass swinging, crash stinging cookoffs and stuff for not he
saying a wet T shirt contest, charty fundraiser for orpans
and send the tax evaders pre diabetics at least where Eggnox.

Speaker 4 (01:58:06):
Sittings for rate tonight. Yeah, that's pretty much what they're like. Yeah,
but some of the tropes that you'll often find in
these movies, and by the way, I find them very watchable. Really,
I'm not even kidding. I kind like them. You kind
of like romantic comedies.

Speaker 2 (01:58:21):
Though, what'd you say like that?

Speaker 12 (01:58:24):
Because I don't think it's understood why she said it
like that.

Speaker 4 (01:58:28):
I think I said what I said, how I said.

Speaker 2 (01:58:31):
What romantic comedy do I like?

Speaker 8 (01:58:34):
You like rom No, you like romance movies more than
I thought you would like.

Speaker 4 (01:58:42):
What you talk about.

Speaker 12 (01:58:43):
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. Everyone hates love actually, and that's
why you watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:55):
He thinks you do protest a little little too much,
turn it down a.

Speaker 4 (01:58:59):
Little bit, which, all right, I didn't mean to insult you.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
I'm not insulted. You're just wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:59:04):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:59:21):
Anyways.

Speaker 5 (01:59:22):
I'm a carpenter. It like Jesus was I guess that's
sort of my charm. I don't know, but.

Speaker 4 (01:59:33):
I stayed hot, Yeah, like Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:59:37):
Chisel edabs. It was like Jesus. Anyways.

Speaker 5 (01:59:43):
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 4 (01:59:55):
I got two scripts here, why do you leave through them?

Speaker 5 (02:00:01):
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 2 (02:00:10):
I have other clients.

Speaker 4 (02:00:13):
Yeah, the bad news is we did not get you
on Survivor Pogo Pogo.

Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
We were really hoping.

Speaker 4 (02:00:21):
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 a it's a long story anyways,
Actually it's very short, give me a call. 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 but she doesn't believe in Christmas. She's too busy.

(02:00:43):
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. The charm of
the town. Oh, it's delightful, the local traditions. Oh really,
are you doing the chestnut roast tonight in town square? Coco,

(02:01:09):
you beleeve today, Jubilee. They're in the coffee house as
soon as we get back from holiday break.

Speaker 2 (02:01:15):
By the way, kick Ass band.

Speaker 4 (02:01:18):
Uh. 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 douchebag Trevor is.

Speaker 5 (02:01:32):
Right, you can't marry this capitalist, the guy with all
the money.

Speaker 4 (02:01:38):
Yeah, and the health insurance and the apartment and the
Flora one K. You should date your high school love. Yeah,
that'll And then there's that last minute miracle that always happens.
It saves everything, just one look where all of a sudden,

(02:02:01):
the guy who was just the schlub the entire time
walks in and he's like, They're like, we lost all
our Christmas presents this year.

Speaker 30 (02:02:08):
We're not gonna have Christmas we were supposed to have
for the unfortunate that disadvantaged youth, and now it's just
so tragic. And then he like he's like, hey, I
noticed your car turned over and the snow drift the
other night. I pull all these presents out, I rewrapped
them all for you, and good to go. I had
to replace a couple of them their damage, but you

(02:02:30):
don't have to pay me back.

Speaker 4 (02:02:32):
I'm just happy to be a part of your Christmas.

Speaker 2 (02:02:34):
And then he goes.

Speaker 32 (02:02:36):
Oh and they're like, he gets sag, I gotta have
sex with him.

Speaker 4 (02:02:52):
I'm gonna stay in this dumpy town forever. Everything they
thought three days before, they've just this place sucks. These
people are all enmeshed. It's it's like it's insane. Each
other's asked, they all are they know everything about each other,
zero privacy.

Speaker 6 (02:03:12):
And I'm never leaving.

Speaker 5 (02:03:13):
Well 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 4 (02:03:32):
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. 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. Marcus is home a lot. She's like,
I thought you were just rebuilding and remodeling the something. No,

(02:03:53):
this is a prison that I am interrupting for myself.
That I can never leave.

Speaker 5 (02:03:59):
I only leave the house once a year for Civil
War reenactments where I only play Robert E.

Speaker 4 (02:04:06):
Lee.

Speaker 5 (02:04:08):
Wait, what's so specific?

Speaker 4 (02:04:13):
Won't play anybody else. It's just super racist and she
doesn't find out until she's pregnant.

Speaker 7 (02:04:19):
Your what now?

Speaker 4 (02:04:20):
Yeah, I'm a member of a militia you might have
heard of called white Whites for whites. Wait so you
can wear a mask. Hallmark Christmas Movies, they're the best.

Morning Show, Every Buddy Time, Westling Studio with Prisoner and myself,
and we're welcoming our friend Big Cat from Barstool Sports.
Pardon my Take brought to you by Yingling. Make it
a Yingling traditional logger from the oldest brewery in America
and Big Cat, congratulations, Big News for the Pardon My
Take podcast there yesterday.

Speaker 15 (02:06:18):
Is this a bit because we're getting We're getting I'm
getting hammered online, I'm getting called a sellout.

Speaker 4 (02:06:24):
You do you really think that I would do anything
but support you. I am, I I am. I am
happy for you. Anybody that's slamming you for this, I
don't you know, this is a big deal. I don't
understand that. I mean, I understand that the access might
be different for some people, but I also we were

(02:06:45):
talking about this earlier because you know, the Academy Awards
are going to be on YouTube in a few years,
and right now that seems like, oh my god, they're
just bearing it. But it's in very short order. The
Netflix is the YouTube. These are the same thing as ABC, NBCCBS.

Speaker 7 (02:07:03):
Oh, definitely, definitely. Yeah, we're really pumped. We knew.

Speaker 15 (02:07:06):
I mean, listen, I as someone who hates change, I
can't be upset when other people hate change. Like I
if someone wears, you know, a button down shirt.

Speaker 7 (02:07:16):
If PFT or Hank.

Speaker 15 (02:07:17):
Wear a button down shirt instead of sweatshirt, I'm like,
who died? What's he doing coming from? I get upset
at them.

Speaker 10 (02:07:23):
So I can't be upset and change.

Speaker 15 (02:07:25):
Yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 7 (02:07:26):
We're excited.

Speaker 15 (02:07:26):
It's it's pretty crazy where this podcast is like kind
of taking us and and how big it's gotten. And
I think it's gonna be really cool because I think
the one part that it is always difficult with these
type of change things is that I think in three
four years, like a lot of podcasts are gonna be
on Netflix and it will be ingrained in people's brains

(02:07:48):
that that's where you can watch a lot of your podcasts. Yeah,
but because we're one of the first ever, a lot
of people can't envision what that looks like and what
that's gonna feel like. So we're gonna we're kind of
the tip of the spear going in where it's like,
all right, we're gonna we're gonna have to eat some
right now, but we're excited.

Speaker 4 (02:08:06):
Want me to give you a parallel Howard Stern satellite radio.

Speaker 15 (02:08:11):
Yeah, yeah, exactly like we I mean, listen, we did
satellite radio for Barstool for a few years and there
was definitely some people who are like, I'm not getting that.
So I get it. You know, whenever you ask people
to pay money, it's always it's always kind of uncomfortable.
But I also think that a lot of people have Netflix.

Speaker 10 (02:08:31):
And I think that there's just some people.

Speaker 15 (02:08:34):
That are complaining to complain. Yeah, and I saw a
few people yesterday which cracked me up. They're like, I
have Netflix, but there's no way I'll ever watch a
podcast on Netflix.

Speaker 7 (02:08:44):
I was like, how does that make any sense?

Speaker 15 (02:08:46):
I don't know, but salute to you for having for standing,
you know, drawing a line in the sand.

Speaker 4 (02:08:52):
Well, hey man, I am always in awe of the
success that you guys have had. And we've known you
since right when things were starting to percolate for and
it's been so fun to watch it continue to just
get bigger and bigger every year. And the fact that,
you know, we talked to PFT about this last week.
I got a bone to pick with him. We'll get
to that later. That you guys, I think we're the

(02:09:13):
number one or number two podcasts, you know, with with
Simmons podcast after doing it for this many years and
still being that high up in the the you know,
streaming numbers for Spotify at this point in the show's run.
That is remarkable. There's very few shows on any level
or medium that achieved that kind of success.

Speaker 15 (02:09:34):
Yeah, it's pretty crazy. It's definitely pinch yourself kind of stuff.
And that also the Spotify thing, like that was part
of us deciding to do this is we looked at
our numbers in eighty percent of our audience's audio only,
like we were a podcast first. I think if we
were a video show first, because there are some podcasts
quote unquote out there that are way more like they're

(02:09:58):
consumed as a.

Speaker 7 (02:09:59):
Big show and that only you know what I mean.

Speaker 15 (02:10:02):
So we knew that our core audience has always been
audio first because that's how the podcast is born, that's
how we started it.

Speaker 7 (02:10:09):
So eighty percent of our audience.

Speaker 10 (02:10:11):
Is just completely like they listen.

Speaker 7 (02:10:13):
To that and they're like, oh, okay, cool, maybe I'll
check it out. Maybe I won't, won't be.

Speaker 15 (02:10:17):
Changing, but yeah, it's it's crazy.

Speaker 7 (02:10:18):
We're coming up on ten years.

Speaker 10 (02:10:19):
And it's nuts that we're still chugging along.

Speaker 4 (02:10:22):
Have you considered the fact that if the the WB
merger goes through for Netflix, you know, and they stop
the paramount thing from happening, the now all of a sudden,
the pardon might take movie can start to happen. You
guys can start to produce movies.

Speaker 7 (02:10:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (02:10:41):
I think it probably be the most boring movie ever
because it would pretty much just be us watching football
and then being like, all right, should we go pod? No,
pretty much our entire day to day No, but no,
I'm talking Origin story.

Speaker 4 (02:10:53):
I want the origin story, like the biotic dogs. What
about boner dogs?

Speaker 7 (02:10:59):
Do boner dogs?

Speaker 4 (02:11:00):
There you go?

Speaker 2 (02:11:01):
Boner dogs?

Speaker 15 (02:11:03):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean, listen, we have a lot of
people loosely attached to boner dogs who've been trying trying
to get it set up for a long time. So
maybe we can get the green light off.

Speaker 4 (02:11:12):
And what's the plot of boner dogs? For those who
don't know.

Speaker 15 (02:11:16):
Boner dogs needs the plot is similar to like Rudolph,
where it's a bunch of Alaskan the idea rod and
it's so it's like a bunch of huskies and then
there's one of the dogs just always has a boner
and everyone makes fun of them for having a boner
and they get lost and then they can look in
the snow and his boner was dragging in the snow,

(02:11:37):
so they're able to get home.

Speaker 4 (02:11:39):
Oh that is a feel good story. It's like a
little homeward bound story.

Speaker 15 (02:11:44):
Yeah, right right, it's cute.

Speaker 2 (02:11:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:11:47):
I think the dogs absolutely animated and you guys do
the voices.

Speaker 15 (02:11:52):
Yes, I think it was. I think we loosely have attached.
I mean Jerry O'Connell's attacked. I believe Adam Sandler's attacked.

Speaker 4 (02:12:00):
Oh wow.

Speaker 15 (02:12:00):
I don't know how, but I think we had. This
is when I say attached. We just pitched it to
them and we're like, hey, are you in and they
don't say no, So then we just say they're attached.
I think Will Ferrell maybe we have playing or no,
damn Patrick, maybe.

Speaker 7 (02:12:15):
We'll be doing the voice of the boner.

Speaker 15 (02:12:19):
So we got some we got some people.

Speaker 4 (02:12:21):
We got the people touched, so the boner will talk.
I'm liking this movie more and more. I mean the
marketing tie ins that you guys would be able to do.

Speaker 7 (02:12:29):
Yeah, they would be great.

Speaker 15 (02:12:30):
We actually did like kind of start to write a
script for it, and we're like, what are we doing?

Speaker 7 (02:12:36):
That's what you know.

Speaker 2 (02:12:37):
That's when you know you're working in the right place.

Speaker 4 (02:12:39):
When you're like, we should write that Boner Dog script
and then you actually try.

Speaker 2 (02:12:44):
You've made Yeah.

Speaker 15 (02:12:44):
Then you like wake up and you say to yourself like, wait, wait,
have we gone Are we too deep into this? Are
we have we gone too far?

Speaker 7 (02:12:51):
Maybe we need to take a step back for a second.

Speaker 2 (02:12:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:12:54):
So your your cohort PFT is on this kick to
say that the Steamer's dominating Monday Night run is a
fabricated thing by the league, that they have given them
a fabricated streak, and that it's not legitimate because he
has searched out the opponents win percentage throughout that twenty

(02:13:17):
two games or whatever it is is twenty two or
twenty three, I can't remember at any rate. And the
Steelers is I think it's their opponents win percentage in
those Monday night games. Is it's sub five hundred. I
think it's like point four nine or something like that.

Speaker 7 (02:13:35):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (02:13:36):
And I would like to submit, how can the league
know which teams are gonna stink that far into the season.
Did we really know the Dolphins were gonna stink this year?

Speaker 7 (02:13:48):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (02:13:50):
Okay, fair, Yes we get fair.

Speaker 2 (02:13:53):
That one's fair, But.

Speaker 4 (02:13:54):
There are plenty of other ones. Look at all the
teams that are like, you know, the Bengals, the Chiefs,
the you know, all of the Christmas Day games are
dogs this year, right, Like, good teams don't always like
it doesn't always pan out. So I don't know how
you can say the league planned on them playing crappy teams.
A lot of times teams just become crappy.

Speaker 15 (02:14:15):
Yeah, no, you're you're right on that I actually was
trying to push back a little bit, but it was
a funny like angle that he took. But yeah, I
mean I said too. The real story is like the
Steelers are just consistently never bad.

Speaker 7 (02:14:29):
That's that's more.

Speaker 15 (02:14:30):
The reason why they keep doing this is like year
in year out, it's they're they're putting out a team
that is never, like truly truly bad because if you
had like a two win season mixed in there, you
wouldn't you wouldn't be you wouldn't have kept the streak alive.
But I do like the idea that it's some type
of deep state.

Speaker 10 (02:14:49):
Yeah, we gotta pop up the Steelers.

Speaker 15 (02:14:51):
And keep them when these fundy the games. Now, are
you guys, because Aaron Rodgers looks back like the last
two weeks, he's looked awesome. Are you guys thinking like
if this, if this theory by pf T is true,
they have to put the Steelers on the wild card
weekend Monday Night Football so that you guys can finally
break the streak and.

Speaker 7 (02:15:11):
And win a playoff game.

Speaker 15 (02:15:13):
That that's gonna happen, right, because you.

Speaker 4 (02:15:15):
Know, because that's when my conspiracy comes in the league
is working against the Steelers to win a postseason game,
and knowing they dominate on Monday nights, they'll put them
on Saturday afternoon where they stink.

Speaker 15 (02:15:30):
Ah. Okay, and by the way, this is all we
should We should just point out all of this by
PFT comes from a place of he need. He wants
people to remember that the Commanders beat the eleven and
zero Steelers during the COVID season and that game was
technically played on Monday afternoon, so he wants he wants
that on the record. Uh, that's really where this all

(02:15:52):
comes from.

Speaker 4 (02:15:52):
Okay, that and again legitimate beef, there no question about it. Yes,
but we have so little to celebrate right now. At
least let us keep our meaningless streaks.

Speaker 15 (02:16:03):
Yeah. I love the streak, the streak. I was there
for part of the streak. I was there for the
Bears Steelers game like three years ago, and I think
I said at that moment, oh my god, Justin Field
is the guy.

Speaker 7 (02:16:14):
This is gonna be awesome. That was stupid. Yeah that
really feels dumbing.

Speaker 15 (02:16:19):
Right, But yeah, I've been there for the streak. Listen
the Monday Night football. It's a great scene. I also
this one particularly like It's one of my most meatball takes,
but it's so.

Speaker 7 (02:16:32):
True and I keep winning on it.

Speaker 15 (02:16:34):
The Dolphins' uniforms will never be good in the cold.
Mike McDaniel cannot play in the cold. That team plays
in any type of cold, and it's just over no
matter what. So I've just been fading the Dolphins anytime
it's under forty degrees and I win every single time.

Speaker 14 (02:16:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:16:49):
I mean, it was an abysmal effort.

Speaker 4 (02:16:51):
And Tua is finally done and it looks like they're
gonna eat all that money going forward. But that's a
mess I don't even want to delve into. I want
to ask you about Joe Burrow's comments to me, like
a guy who just like started talking to his wife
and he's like thinking about another woman, and.

Speaker 2 (02:17:05):
She's like, are you thinking of straying?

Speaker 4 (02:17:07):
And he was like, you think a lot of things. Yeah, yeah, right,
and then and then she's like, President, wait a minute,
are you saying that you want to leave me? He's like, no,
that's not really what I'm saying here. So I can't
make sense of what he's doing. If this is the
start of a play to get out of Cincinnati or

(02:17:28):
a start of his move to get out of football.

Speaker 15 (02:17:32):
I don't think it's out of football. I feel like
Joe Burrow, he's kind of stuck.

Speaker 7 (02:17:38):
So's it's a similar time timeline.

Speaker 15 (02:17:41):
Is Carson Palmer.

Speaker 7 (02:17:42):
Right, like Carton Palmer was eight years.

Speaker 15 (02:17:44):
In and was like, I can't do this anymore. So,
but the difference being that Joe Burrow obviously is from
the state of Ohio, from not too far away.

Speaker 7 (02:17:54):
The fans love.

Speaker 15 (02:17:54):
Him, so I don't know if he's trying to retire
from football or if he's trying to you know. I
think if you do the relationship analogy, it's more along
the lines of when you, you know, maybe don't text
back all the time and you give a little bit
of the cold shoulder of your girlfriend and you're like,
I don't I'm too much of a whim to break

(02:18:15):
up with her, But I'm just hoping that if I don't,
if I don't pay an attention to her, she'll break
up with me first.

Speaker 10 (02:18:21):
I think that's what he maybe he's trying to do, like.

Speaker 7 (02:18:22):
Yeah, hey, look, maybe the Bengals.

Speaker 15 (02:18:24):
Will try to trade me because I'm clearly not so happy.

Speaker 7 (02:18:27):
But I'm not asking for a trade.

Speaker 4 (02:18:29):
No, no, exactly. He's doing the like Ben Affleck. Yeah,
he did that with every relationship. He admitted. He's like, yeah,
I act like a jerk and I tried to get
them to break up with.

Speaker 2 (02:18:40):
Me and usually works.

Speaker 15 (02:18:44):
Sure, that's some really mature stuff.

Speaker 7 (02:18:45):
All right.

Speaker 4 (02:18:46):
I want to ask you about the Bears fan who
was eating spaghetti out of a huge zip lock bag
and your thoughts on whether that's an appropriate bring your
own meal or if that breaches some sort of football menu.

Speaker 2 (02:19:02):
Guidelines that we all need to adhere too.

Speaker 7 (02:19:05):
No, I love it. I love it, love it, love it.

Speaker 15 (02:19:07):
Did you see that they had it for multiple games
and they and they date the games like on the
ziplock bag. So it's like they do they have like
a little tradition and it's said like they showed other bags.
It was like, you know ten twenty seven Bears, you know,
Saints and Bears.

Speaker 7 (02:19:23):
So I love these guys.

Speaker 4 (02:19:25):
Uh, they eat spaghetti out of a big ziploc bag.
To be clear, they're eating spaghetti.

Speaker 15 (02:19:30):
I think I think that's why it works. I think
because it is so ridiculous, it works any other food.

Speaker 7 (02:19:38):
I knew a guy wants to who would uh, he
would go.

Speaker 15 (02:19:41):
Out to the bar and he would just he would
put like sausages and hot dogs in his ziplock bag
and he would just walk around with some like in
case meats in case he got hungry. So and it
was ridiculous, but it was so funny. And I think
the spaghetti, if it was just like a regular I
don't even know what the what else would be like
if they probably like a sandwich in or something, everyone

(02:20:02):
be like all right, cool whatever that means. The fact
that the spaghetti and meatballs is so funny that I
think it plays.

Speaker 4 (02:20:08):
I love these guys the playoffs this year, no Patrick Mahomes,
no Joe Burrow in the AFC, A lot of the
faces you're used to seeing is the NFL playoffs. Are
they better or worse? For that?

Speaker 15 (02:20:24):
I think they're better. I think they're better. I think
this is an exciting year where it's like this is
not the thing is, You're not gonna have like a
true passing.

Speaker 7 (02:20:33):
Of the torch.

Speaker 15 (02:20:34):
I think that's what kind of makes it exciting where
it's not like Patrick Mahomes is done, it's not like
Joe Burrow's done. But we have a year where you
have some young guys getting a shot, and then next
year it's like, can the old guys come back? So
I'm in for it. Josh Allen, Oh man, I'm hoping.
I'm obviously the biggest Josh Allens fan.

Speaker 7 (02:20:53):
So I'm hoping that maybe this is the year.

Speaker 15 (02:20:55):
I am a little upset that we weren't able to
sell rate the Chiefs being bounced from the playoffs as
much as we should have been able to.

Speaker 7 (02:21:05):
Time get hurt. You're trying to rob us at that moment.

Speaker 15 (02:21:08):
Yeah, yeah, that was that was really like, that was
not cool by him to.

Speaker 4 (02:21:12):
Tears atl Right, Well, we'll at least get to celebrate
when Taylor finally dumps Travis, because that's gonna happen.

Speaker 15 (02:21:20):
Yeah that listen, I'm not gonna talk on that. I
got enough people.

Speaker 7 (02:21:24):
At my neck right now online. I'm not gonna go
back down that road. I got it.

Speaker 15 (02:21:28):
You can't fight it tru fun. You can't fight a
true funk battle.

Speaker 2 (02:21:31):
Okay, understood?

Speaker 7 (02:21:32):
All right?

Speaker 4 (02:21:32):
Uh, only limited time left here, We're heading into the
Christmas break.

Speaker 2 (02:21:36):
Is always thanks to you and PFT Man.

Speaker 4 (02:21:38):
We appreciate you guys for staying with us all these
years here on the DV Morning Show and I know
you don't do anything but your hometown radio shows and
us so Pittsburgh truly appreciates it and we love you guys.
So I want to ask you as you head into
this Christmas holiday top three Christmas movie must watches.

Speaker 15 (02:21:56):
M Okay, let me preface everything by saying, anyone who
does the whole Diehard debate, just go.

Speaker 7 (02:22:02):
I don't know what you with you You're weirdo.

Speaker 2 (02:22:04):
I agree, like, just stop, all right.

Speaker 15 (02:22:06):
I think it's Christmas vacation. I think it's home alone.
And then I'm gonna say I this is just a
recency biased personal one with my kids. The Grinch cartoon
that they came out with a few years ago. My
kids absolutely love it, and so I'll throw that in
there that that's a sentimental I've been starting to make
a tradition with my kids watching that.

Speaker 2 (02:22:27):
Is this a new one that they put out the
original Gritch?

Speaker 15 (02:22:32):
No, it's it's fairly new. It's it's on Peacock. I
want to say, I don't know where it is, but
it's yeah, it's a animated Grinch that is maybe four
or five years. It's good though, and the kids love it.

Speaker 7 (02:22:46):
So I love it.

Speaker 4 (02:22:47):
How psyched?

Speaker 7 (02:22:47):
Are you even make my top three?

Speaker 2 (02:22:49):
How psyched are you for?

Speaker 4 (02:22:50):
Because you have enough kids now where they're all ages,
A couple of them are grown up enough to really
be into this. You're you're in full oh Dad Christmas mode,
like down Christmas morning in your pjs and film them
opening their their presence mode.

Speaker 2 (02:23:04):
You got to be psyched.

Speaker 15 (02:23:06):
Oh it's so much fun. Although this year we're going
down to Florida because like the only week I have off,
and my wife is like, I do not want to
spend the entire winter in Chicago.

Speaker 7 (02:23:17):
With no vacation. I was like, all right's fair point.

Speaker 15 (02:23:19):
So the big buds in my house has been this
is Santa going to know that we're.

Speaker 7 (02:23:24):
Going to be in Florida. They don't.

Speaker 15 (02:23:27):
They're really nervous about it.

Speaker 4 (02:23:28):
So what is the how do you broach that? Do
you say that they track your phone and he knows?

Speaker 2 (02:23:35):
No.

Speaker 15 (02:23:35):
We had my buddy has a bar, one of my
best friends has a bar here in Chicago, and he
had he had Santa at the bar on Sunday. So
the kids went and they told them, Hey, we're going
to be in Florida. So I think we have a
covered I think they they told the big man.

Speaker 2 (02:23:49):
Himself that's smart. So that's smart.

Speaker 22 (02:23:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:23:52):
Uh well buddy, look man, have a great holiday. And
as I said, man, thanks for everything. Much left to
you and PFT and congrats on all the success and
looking for to talking to you guys in twenty six.

Speaker 15 (02:24:02):
All right, thanks guys, happy holidays, See.

Speaker 4 (02:24:04):
You soon all rybody, we'll see it when we come back.
Mike pursona joining us here and Guy Junker more to come.

Speaker 2 (02:24:10):
It's the dB Morning Show all season long.

Speaker 29 (02:24:13):
Ask for a yingling, traditional logger Yingling, DV E Sports.

Speaker 4 (02:24:21):
Mike Pursuda with your sports right now on the DV
morning show.

Speaker 2 (02:24:26):
Sports That's Up, brought to you by Bridgeville.

Speaker 12 (02:24:28):
Appliance to the Steelers offensive resurgence continued against Miami, thanks to
no small part to the steel City shove. That play
the Steelers are embracing, if not loving. Here's Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 13 (02:24:42):
Well, we've been pretty good at it. You know, Connor's
in a nice job at it. We had a wrinkle,
you know, giving the ball to Kenny against Chicago. That
was a fifty yard game. It's not a play that
anybody really likes. Something across the league, there's been some
talk about trying to get it out of the league.
I think there's a way to maybe find a happy
medium with some of the splits and stuff. But the
way the rules are now, it's been a play that

(02:25:03):
we've had success with. So Mike likes it, Arthur likes it,
and obviously Connor likes it too.

Speaker 2 (02:25:09):
So get used to it.

Speaker 12 (02:25:11):
And Rogers, by the way, has no problem with his role,
and his role is going to continue out of the
stand back and observe and then gesture emphatically. That's been
criticized by some, but those criticisms are misguided.

Speaker 13 (02:25:29):
It's not a ten on eleven play. I've seen that
places where oh it's ten on eleven, what's the quarterback
going back there, just standing with his hands on his hips.
There's a lot of guys who aren't involved in that play,
usually a deep safety, and the guys on the edges
had absolute zero impact on the play. So as long
as we're going to keep sneaking it, I'm going to
keep standing back there and hopefully signaling first down.

Speaker 4 (02:25:49):
Difference beings that he could be a part of that
play the other guys can't. He could be a person
who's pushing the pusher of the tush, a second pusher, that.

Speaker 12 (02:26:00):
Is the That is the last thing you want him doing,
getting in a massive bodies and getting stepped on and
falling on and which is why you put John Smith
back there, get him as far away from that as
you possibly can.

Speaker 4 (02:26:13):
Well, I just want him to strike a different post
than the Three amigos.

Speaker 2 (02:26:18):
It fits him, don't you think.

Speaker 4 (02:26:20):
The turning coffee? I mean it, it's weird, it's funny looking.

Speaker 5 (02:26:29):
It was cool the first time. I don't know a
little bit while I'm over the toush push.

Speaker 4 (02:26:34):
I hate the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (02:26:37):
I can't stand it.

Speaker 12 (02:26:38):
If I wanted to watch rugby, I'd moved to frigging England.

Speaker 4 (02:26:40):
There you go?

Speaker 2 (02:26:42):
Is that what they play rugby?

Speaker 4 (02:26:44):
Sure? You know the thing that I always like my
reaction to the steel Sitty City shove or Pittsburgh plunge,
whichever you That doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (02:26:57):
It's right deal.

Speaker 33 (02:27:00):
Yeah, we're not plunging into anything. No pushing forward. That's
what they call the kolonoscopy clinic. But when they do it,
every time they come out, I'm like, oh not again.
In my brain it has a very low success rate.
In reality, it's been incredibly successful for the Steelers, But

(02:27:20):
for some reason.

Speaker 4 (02:27:21):
When I see it, I think, no, don't do that.
Like I just don't think it looks good when they
do it. But the success rate you can't argue with.

Speaker 12 (02:27:29):
Yeah, and they seem to be getting better at it.
I mean the way they do it that stands to reason.

Speaker 15 (02:27:33):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (02:27:33):
You know, if you want to play ball control, you
got to pick up third and one, fourth and one.

Speaker 4 (02:27:37):
Can they instead of using Cam Heyward, use Calvin Austin
and then have Mount Washington pick him up and hurl
him over the line.

Speaker 2 (02:27:45):
I don't think that's allowed. I had wondered that, why not?
What's the difference?

Speaker 12 (02:27:52):
I don't think you'llow to throw a guy who says
you might be onto something.

Speaker 2 (02:27:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:27:58):
I know you, And I don't mean like, you know,
like over his head and like Andre the Giant, I
mean like collar belt he whoa you know, like just
chuckle getting thrown out of a bar.

Speaker 12 (02:28:11):
Yes, I'll do some investigating see if that's an option.
Kenny Gainwell is also a guy who you might say
is enjoying avers surgency. Was a big player in Philly
the Miami game last Sunday. The latest example of the
impact Gamewell has had on the Steelers offense. It's been
kind of a revelation to see what he can do

(02:28:32):
now that Gamewell has stepped out of Saquon Barkley's massive
shadow in Philly. But Gainwell credits what he's achieving to
his new quarterback more than his expanded role.

Speaker 34 (02:28:43):
I mean, Aaron Rodgers, you know, him trusting me my hands,
you know, he just doing the small things and just
went out there and working. I think he's just just
shows the character of him, you know, being the guy
he is, and he's just understanding the game.

Speaker 7 (02:29:01):
You know.

Speaker 12 (02:29:02):
It's fascinating to me that they had Russell Wilson last year,
Who's a guy that had won the Super.

Speaker 2 (02:29:07):
Bowl seems like ten years ago.

Speaker 4 (02:29:08):
I back it out, you know, I literally block it
out when I talk about last year. I'm like last
year when Mason took us to the playoffs, it's like
a COVID year for me.

Speaker 2 (02:29:19):
Didn't exist, been there, done that guy.

Speaker 12 (02:29:21):
And yet Rogers, who has won as many Super Bowls
as Russ, seems like a completely different component that they
have going for him this year. And I think, you know,
I think Russ's game was starting at the tear eight
by this time last year, I think everybody had had
enough of the toxic positivity, positivity leadership, and it's just

(02:29:43):
a different vibe this year.

Speaker 2 (02:29:45):
With Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 12 (02:29:46):
I don't think there's anybody he was a way better
player that knows whether a football is blown up or stuffed,
would compare Russell Wilson to Aaron Rodgers and say, yeah,
they're pretty much the same.

Speaker 2 (02:29:55):
Guy, way better player.

Speaker 4 (02:29:57):
Russ peaked long ago and is he was in panic.

Speaker 2 (02:30:03):
Mode with the Steelers this last year.

Speaker 12 (02:30:06):
And I was also having a discussion about Russell with
one of the other media guys yesterday, and it wasn't
This guy was insisting that Russell wasn't fake. You know
that everything's great, name, everybody and all that. He insisted
that that's who Russell Wilson was. And I will concede
that point. But it wore people out, and it just

(02:30:27):
it wasn't something that anybody was going to a rally around.

Speaker 2 (02:30:31):
By December.

Speaker 12 (02:30:31):
If I summed up Russell's tenure in Pittsburgh, it wouldn't
be the moon balls. It would be the fumble in
Baltimore when they could have won the division and then.

Speaker 4 (02:30:43):
Running on and he tried to do too much, running up.

Speaker 12 (02:30:45):
To Cam Hayward after he totally butchered to drive against
Cincinnati in which they needed to maybe get twenty five
yards to get Boswell in positioned to win the game.
And then he went up to Cam Hayward and started
giving him a pep talk. Yeah, and Cam just didn't
want to hear it and just kept walking. That's kind
of where they were last year. This year, like, hey,
we got Anion Rodgers, stuff might happen.

Speaker 2 (02:31:09):
That game.

Speaker 4 (02:31:09):
Cam Hayward played with like one hundred and two degree
fever and played his ass off, and Russell Wilson just
burped up the game, just gave them no chance to
win at the end, even though the defense set them
up to win the game. And then he immediately his
reaction is to sprint over to Cam Heyward.

Speaker 2 (02:31:26):
Hey, hey, hey, don't get mad, don't get mad. We're
gonna win, all right, big daddy, We're gonna win.

Speaker 4 (02:31:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:31:34):
Oh yeah, And he won't even look at him because
he wants to kill him.

Speaker 12 (02:31:40):
I'm puking and it's not because I have one hundred
two degree fever.

Speaker 4 (02:31:42):
Yeah, guy just like busted his ass playing through a fever,
gave you a chance to win and you completely screwed
it up completely. Not the time to go over and
rally the troops. No, yeah, we're behind you.

Speaker 7 (02:31:56):
You know.

Speaker 12 (02:31:56):
It's like if it gets screened the room, and it might.
I don't think it's gonna be because of the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (02:32:03):
I think we all know that. I think we all
know that.

Speaker 4 (02:32:08):
No, he's gonna screw it up to its Sunday. I
think defensively is the prominent injuries right now. That's the
real big isess you guy junker awayh in on that

Speaker 2 (02:33:28):
Yeah right, I mean some people would kill for us mattering.

Speaker 4 (02:33:32):
So the Steelers this past Monday night, there were a
lot of people, myself included, wondering, Oh God, will they
blow this game?

Speaker 2 (02:33:40):
Will they will?

Speaker 4 (02:33:41):
They bowed down and you know, play down to this
Dolphins team that's on a bit of a winning streak
that seems to be propped up by having played bad
teams or we destined to see it. Just a crappy
football game in fridgid temperatures. And to their credit, they
did what they should have done. They easily Hm doth
the Miami Dolphins.

Speaker 23 (02:34:02):
Yeah, And we talked last week about the things going
against the Dolphins. Not only was their four game winning streak,
in my mind not that impressive, although when they played
the Bears, the Bears.

Speaker 4 (02:34:11):
Hadn't really beat anybody and they beat them.

Speaker 23 (02:34:14):
And also, you know the lousy record of Toua and
the team in general when they played games that are
in cold weather. So but but I think that was
one of the more impressive things, not that they won
the game.

Speaker 4 (02:34:25):
That you know, they got those couple of garbage touchdowns.
There were a few.

Speaker 23 (02:34:27):
Guys in there playing late in the game that you
hardly ever see the field. So I thought that was
one of the more impressive things that they kept the
you know, the foot on the gas and soundly beat
them to the point where I bet Chris Callins got
called into the office for saying, well, for the audience
that's still watching at one point, you don't say something

(02:34:48):
like that on the air without getting called into the eight.

Speaker 4 (02:34:52):
I mean Troy Aikman, Yeah, Ri a Man, he's he's
stopped giving an f about anything. He'll argue with the
rules analysts. You'll tell you you Russian McDaniel for the
way he handled the fourth quarter.

Speaker 12 (02:35:03):
Collinsworth, conversely, would have been talking about Patrick Mahomes during
the Steelers.

Speaker 4 (02:35:06):
Dolphins I tell you.

Speaker 2 (02:35:11):
You know what likes to build a snow man.

Speaker 4 (02:35:15):
That was one of the surprises though about that. You know, like.

Speaker 23 (02:35:19):
John Madden talking about Brett farveall at the time, no
matter who was the like of so. But one of
the surprises to me was the lack of You would
have thought the Dolphins their season is ending if they lose,
they're on a four game winning streak, would have been
playing in the fourth quarter with their hair on fire,
and they were like, let's just get this over with.
And I didn't think they made good use of the
clock at all. Uh Yeah, I thought it was a

(02:35:40):
very strange approach by them. Maybe you know, they just
felt they were soundly beaten and they weren't going to
change it.

Speaker 4 (02:35:46):
But that seemed kind of weird to me. We've been
talking a lot about how the Steelers offensive line has
really come along this year, and never more evident than
Monday night when they are utilizing a fourth string tack
who Brian Baldinger even said he didn't have one bad.

Speaker 23 (02:36:03):
Rep yeah, and allowed no pressures and and you know
the week before when they were forced to put him in,
they're like, oh, they gotta protect and this is the
first snap that he's taken, and he played extremely well.
Uh you know, the throwing of the ball over the
middle occasionally it just and going deep occasionally, just it's

(02:36:26):
it's unbelievable how much it opens things up. That said
that said, I still think they're going to have a
hard time keeping up with with Detroit's offense. I mean,
Detroit well the start of the season, winning four games
in a row and they haven't won back to back
game since. But you look at the last three teams
they lost through the Rams, the Packers, and the Eagles.

Speaker 4 (02:36:44):
That's a pretty good group right there.

Speaker 23 (02:36:45):
And the weird thing is, you know, all games matter,
but all they have to do is beat the Ravens
the last game of the year, and they're in these
two games.

Speaker 2 (02:36:53):
If they lose them both that they're still in. If
they beat the Ravens.

Speaker 23 (02:36:56):
I hope it doesn't come down to having to do that.
You know, they could also win these next two games,
lose to Baltimore and still miss the playoffs. So I
kind of wish they were playing Baltimore this weekend. We
could get it over with and then maybe you could
rest for two weeks if you win.

Speaker 4 (02:37:10):
Well, there's a scenario here if the Steelers lose and
the Ravens win, then Week seventeen against the Browns does
not matter for the Steelers. If that predicament occurs and
you're Mike Tomlin, do you rest the key players?

Speaker 23 (02:37:24):
Yes, I absolutely, especially with the team this old and
a quarterback who's wearing a cast on as left arm
as it is. Yeah, I would definitely. You know, if
you're one of these teams that's like fifteen and two
and you're gonna have a buy and we saw that
with you know, when Tony Dungee coach the Colts and stuff,
and then you rest guys and all of a sudden,

(02:37:45):
it's three weeks since guys played a game, and you
go out and you get beat by a team that's
been in desperation mode for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (02:37:51):
But I don't think one week is going to make
that big of a difference.

Speaker 23 (02:37:55):
The thing about it is that you know, Baltimore already
lost to the Lions, So to me, this is the
lead the important game of the three. They have left
because because the tiebreaker will probably be they'll probably have
the same divisional record that the Steelers beat Cleveland and
Baltimore what happened to beat the Steelers? Then you go
to you know, common opponents, and that loss to the
Bears is hurting because, pardon me, Baltimore beat the Bears.

(02:38:18):
So if the Steelers could go and beat the Lions
and Baltimore loses the New England, that really ups their
you know, possibilities when you go to head to head guy.

Speaker 4 (02:38:27):
Any thoughts on the changing ownership with the Pittsburgh Steelers
or the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Hoffman Group out of Chicago
adds the Penguins now to their portfolio of over two
hundred different businesses.

Speaker 2 (02:38:38):
Hockey is now one of them.

Speaker 4 (02:38:41):
I don't know exactly what that means in terms of
newness to the sport.

Speaker 2 (02:38:47):
Certainly they know how to make money FSG.

Speaker 4 (02:38:52):
They knew how to make money by just buying the team,
letting it sit there, doing nothing with it, and sold
it for a humongous profit.

Speaker 2 (02:39:00):
Turn in the house. Except they didn't do anything.

Speaker 4 (02:39:02):
Exactly, They didn't have to fix it up right.

Speaker 7 (02:39:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (02:39:05):
In fact, they let it. They let it fall apart
a little bit. The deck fell off the back, but
you know, hey, we put new shutters on the front.
I kind of like it because I never really liked
the Fenway Sports Group.

Speaker 23 (02:39:20):
Just it's still in how a town owner though. I
don't like absentee owners. And I can number and Mike
probably you two. Back in the day when Edward de
Barblow owned the team, you know, he'd come down from
Youngstown and he wouldn't like sit in the press box.
He would stand behind the B section at the Civic Arena,
just like in the in the back, behind the last
row of seats down there, and to be and watch
the games. And you know when Mario owned the team,

(02:39:42):
I mean, Burkele wasn't here as much, but Mario was
always in the box. And I just like that hands
on feel. I mean, with that fast you never felt
the Penguins were as important as the Red Sox or
even the Liverpool soccer team. It was just like a
corporate cold ownership. The worst thing to me that they
did was they alienated you, and so if they treated
it as an investment, they got what they wanted. They

(02:40:03):
pretty much doubled their money.

Speaker 7 (02:40:05):
So I like that.

Speaker 4 (02:40:06):
But it's also another out of town ownership.

Speaker 23 (02:40:08):
But these people aren't like owning all kinds of sports
enterprises to make money.

Speaker 4 (02:40:13):
EI are soccer or hockey people. You know, they owned
the team, the minor league team down in Florida, the
ever Blades or whatever.

Speaker 23 (02:40:20):
Apparently you know that David Hoffman's kids all play hockey
and stuff. So, but they don't have the money that
the Fenway Sports Group did either. We're used to them
spending right up to the salary cap. Is this guy
going to be able to do it? And what's gonna happen?
And one of the things to me, what's gonna happen
to you know, sports Net Pittsburgh because that's owned co
co by the Pirates and Fenway Sports Group. Are they

(02:40:40):
gonna have enough money to come in here and be
able to keep the television part floating? So I think
there are some questions, but in general I like it,
mostly because I didn't like Fenway Sports Group. Guy.

Speaker 4 (02:40:50):
We're coming up on our Christmas break here tomorrow morning.
It will be the last morning show for us before
we break till January fifth, and I'm wondering, are you doing?
I remember ask you this last year, but I can't
remember what your answer was.

Speaker 2 (02:41:03):
Do you do the seven fishes?

Speaker 7 (02:41:07):
We did?

Speaker 23 (02:41:07):
My wife's Italian and my mother in law used to
do that every Christmas Eve, but she's up in years
now so she doesn't do that cooking anymore.

Speaker 4 (02:41:14):
So no, we will not be doing it.

Speaker 2 (02:41:16):
Were you a fam we did? Yeah, it was.

Speaker 7 (02:41:20):
I liked all you know.

Speaker 4 (02:41:21):
I had come from Randon and I come from a
very small family.

Speaker 23 (02:41:24):
My brother never got married and my sister had two
kids and that's it.

Speaker 4 (02:41:28):
And my wife has fifty one first cousins.

Speaker 23 (02:41:31):
So we went from like quiet, uh you know, George
Winston playing on the mystereo dinners at my head. I'd
go over their house and kids were shooting dart guns
and knocking the Christmas tree over and hitting golf balls into.

Speaker 4 (02:41:43):
The fruit bunch, and I kind of I loved.

Speaker 23 (02:41:46):
All that stuff for a while. So it was two
totally different things. But it's much calmer now everybody growing up.

Speaker 7 (02:41:51):
I miss for.

Speaker 36 (02:41:52):
Those for you guys that abby, I enjoy your kids
while they're young, because there's a certain magic that has gone,
you know that now that they're all adults, Well, the
wrap bags are no fun.

Speaker 4 (02:42:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, The wonderment of opening the wrapping and
ripping it, seeing them rip it open, and you know,
their eyes get really big and everything, and then you
pray you don't disappoint your kid because they're never going
to touch it again. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, look, wishing
you and your family a very uh merry Christmas, happy holidays,

(02:42:26):
and uh, nothing but happiness and health going forward in
twenty six.

Speaker 2 (02:42:31):
