Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yesterday. They only went for it once on fourth down.
Of course, that was the fourth and two near the
goal line. After they threw the ball all the way
down to the goal line, they decided to run it
in on fourth and two and an ill designed play
and we'll leave it at that. And that's when they
decided to try and play renegade after that, which was
which that was a that was a bad choice.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Milk was a bad choice.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It was the equivalent of like in spinal Tap when
they're like, are we gonna do Stonenge?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Right? It's read the Room Randy Bellman and the DV
Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I hope everybody is taking their time to get into
work this morning. And if you're waking up and just
looking outside, you're going to see the winter wonderland that
is the city of Pittsburgh this morning. But most of
the plows, at least in the South Hills heading down
here to Bridgeville, have not been out yet, so we
are all just rolling in fresh from the snow this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And it's uh.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I mean, I won't go so far as to say
it's treacherous, but you gotta take your time.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
There's a lot of snow on the ground that hasn't
been plowed.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
No, it is not good. Joe Barnic and studio with
us too this morning, by the way, and you saw
an accident in Bridgeville, right.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, Well I don't know what part between Bridgeville and
like Upper Sinclaire with a Barril Road whatever that. Yeah, No,
Man's Land is yeah exactly. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like
as hilly as this town is.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
On mornings like this, when the snow hits right before
the morning commute, it gets a little hairy out there.
Today it's going to be like that because I think Abby,
the snow is gonna keep coming for a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It is, and it's the biggest issue is that it's
all when you're going to be doing your morning commute.
So that's why you have now school delays that are
rolling in. I know my kids rolled in last night,
so we knew that it was going to be a
delay this morning, which at first I'm looking outside and
going they.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, it's like the Steelers defense exactly, but makes sense
this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It seem after ten am it'll roll off and then
we're just gonna have clouds. But for now, snow and
flurries this morning it's up to an inch. Otherwise cloudy
and cold, we can get up to three inches. Snow
can make the roads and sidewalks very slippery, so a
lot of travel disruptions.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
High of thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
This would be a great morning if you can do
remote work to go ahead and flex that muscle.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Don't be a hero this morning. That's my number one
advice to you. Don't be a hero.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Air on the side of being a little bit late
for work if you have to. Because I was coming
down seventy nine and I was you know, you know,
I was born in bits, you know, I grew up
in this kind of crap, and so I'm like, come on, man,
people are being a little too cautious, right, So I'm like,
I'll just pass everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And then I just stopped myself.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm like, wait a minute, there's a tractor trailer and
another huge truck in front of that. Like I'm going
to pass those cars on a non cloud road so
I can get to work.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Talk about releigance.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
What am I doing here? So it's just work and
you'll get there.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yes, there is reduced speed on the highways as well
to forty five.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Oh, it's yeah. You won't probably be able to go
much faster than that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Now the dudes around me did, but it is a
reduced speed.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Just just tell you, guys know it's speed.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I drive slow anyway. This is right at my alley. Yeah, yes,
you No, I wouldn't picture you as a slow driver.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That is.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
It's like a dichotomy. Joe Bartnick slow driver. Yeah, I'm
just not ever in a rush. I leave early, like
for the other thing I have to be on is
for gigs and flights.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Other than that, I wouldn't be here on time. Sure,
But other than that, it's like, what's the rush? What's
because after living in La for so long, you can
never catch up, so there's no sense trying, Oh, we're
five minutes late, we're gonna You're never gonna catch up,
So just admit the fact you're not going to catch up.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
The Penguins last night with a nice one over the Flyers,
I was I was thinking about you, and I was
gonna text you in the middle of the game. Then
I realized that's a that is a PA and I
stopped myself. But for one they end up beating Talket
and the Flyers. It was it was just an incredible.
It was just an incredible night.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I just I literally listened to the first two periods
at Logan and then flew on Delta. Shout out to Delta.
Great Wi Fi. Yeah, because I've had I've had some
problems on games, like you know, I mean in two
thousand and nine, like the Flurry game, I was losing
Wi Fi on my flight and I just freaked. I go,
you know what, I just have to shut off my
(04:30):
phone and pray because this is driving me crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, that would in the middle of a Cup round,
that would absolutely drive me crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
But last night, no nice nice one for the boys there.
Last night.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Sid loves beating the Flyers, so that I just like
to see Sid happy, you know what I mean. That's
how I am kind of with this team right now.
I just want to see Sid happy.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Sid is happy, he said, is playing some of the
best talking of his life.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I know.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
It was so funny, you know, I'm doing The Morning
The Morning the Soft Dumbs for DVE and I begged
Cayle Dubis on Sunday after that debacle with Toronto, I
go bring up Boku and bring up Rutger.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And he did.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yes, right, Well, he's listening. So anything else you want
to ask for, I would do it now. Uh, I'm
completely I mean five to one and was it five one?
It was five one, and you know, guarded Hathaway talkt
wisked him away to safety, much like Cliff Harris, like
you don't want to get on the ice with Boco.
I love the fact that we have a nuclear weapon.
Oh you would have touched Sid. This man will take
(05:25):
his ten game suspension and you'll be in a body bag.
They needed that for so long and did not have
it and Bocu could play. I was disappointed this preseason
because I'm like Boca, we don't have a good preseason.
He didn't earn the spot. But then he went down
to the Wilks played great and now he's back in
Like he's so much He's added so much more than
(05:46):
Yon's competent, Like what Yoda's competent doing. No, it's like
a free skate. It's like, oh, everybody free skate. At
least this guy's out there. You can for check a
little bit and just to have the enforcer and Rutger
is great. Yeah, you love Rucker. I love record. I
love everything about it. Because it sounds like a dog
is saying it Chicago. I mean Jar's playing great. Uh, well,
(06:14):
it was a big performance from him last night.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes, Michael had more on that and also a bad
day for Mike Tomlin. The national media really took that
story and ran with it yesterday, like we knew they
would when they when they chant fire Mike Tomlin at
a Steelers game, you can expect that the national media
is going to weigh in.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Uh, most of the takes I thought were measured.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
There is this group, you know, from Ian Rappaport, Michael Wilbon,
these people who think that he is untouchable and the
idea of moving away from him is tantamount to, uh,
you know, organizational self destruction.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I just don't know what they're looking at. The proof
is in the pudding or lack thereof, you know, we don't.
We haven't had any pudding for a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
About ten years, no playoff pudding.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And Michael Wilbon said that he'll root against the Steelers
every game if they got rid of Mike Tomlins.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Cares he rings against Sydney Crosby. Go away, Wilbon.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, I'm with you on that, like, who cares who
he He's so petulant. It's like, dude, I don't know, Like,
I don't know which Wilbon I'm getting. Am I getting
the phony Wilbon fan take on things? Or am I
getting the informed journalist who actually has measured in reasonable
responses to things.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
That guy went away twenty years ago. He used to
be an incredible journalist when journalists mattered. Yeah, and then
he got that NBA beat and he started kissing everybody's butt.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, that's a great point. I forgot about that.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I used to love him.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I still think that uh PTI is really good. Oh
it's the best show. I was kind you don't even
need any of those other shows. Like they're all trying
to be that and they don't understand that the thing
that makes it great is Will Bond and Corneiser, right,
you know, it's not just putting two people there. No,
and when other people are in that seat, it's like, nah,
it's not as good.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Right, Yeah, Like you know Holland Garfunkle doesn't work as good.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know, Simon and Oates.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
There's something to the combination. And they don't argue and
scream at each other. Right, that's what makes it so
much better as well. But that's what the other guys.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Are being coached to do right now because that brings
attention on the show. And oh, look at this clip
where Rex Ryan goes completely nuclear on his good morning
whatever cast mates.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah, I mean you guys are I mean, well, I
think you're of age. Remember there was this morning was
Sports Center and then hot Chicks doing aerobics. That's right.
ESPN just had hot Chicks doing aerobics for hours in
between Sports Centers.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I remember I would go in early in the morning
to do the X and it was the TV would
always be left on ESPN. It was the first thing
I saw every morning because it always sync up really
nice to Rob Zombie.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh yeah, this works. K Abby's got a news update
for us right now.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
What's going on this hour is brought to you buy
your neighborhood Ford Store. And because it's so nice and
white and snowy out yesterday, how likely is it we're
going to see snow for Christmas this year in Pittsburgh.
While we all know that nature can be unpredictable, the
odds that the snow is going to be in.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Pittsburgh this year isn't great.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Apparently, It's going to mainly fall in Central Pa apparently,
so it sounds like we're going to get a pretty
gentle and mild winter in the United States.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
But despite that, the.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Old Farmer's Almanac said that the forecast and the likelihood
of a white Christmas, we'll get it in Pennsylvania, but
in generally we're not going to have it for Pittsburgh.
So enjoy it now, I guess, is my point?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Or yeah? Or endure it now?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Endure it now?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yesterday was cyber Monday, but Black Friday?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Is it making it obsolete?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Now?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Adobe Analytics says that Americans set a new record for
online shopping on Black Friday, which was about eleven point
eight billion, and that is up from nine percent from
ten point eight billion last year.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So the peak was ten am to two pm.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
We were spending twelve point five million per minute.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Did you do any kind.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Of cyber Monday?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
You did? I did?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
My buddy's birthday's coming up and I want to get
him something as well as a bottle of booze, but
somethingde the keepsake.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, I don't even think to do it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I always think that, Like, you know, I grew up
with my dad in his carpet store marking up the remnants,
you know, fifty percent and having a twenty five percent
off sale. You know what I mean, I never trust
the sale. I'm like, I don't really think we're getting
a big deal work. I mean, full disclosure.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
It just happened to be Monday that I ordered it
because I'm like, I'm gonna forget, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Now we're sitting at Logan Air. Did you get a
screaming deal?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Though?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
It was a it's a cool t shirt on for
the air? Yeah, okay, no for fifteen.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Bucks, so all right, you know, such a deal.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, I know. There was like a lot of headphone
deals going on.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I kept getting those in my feet, like coming up
on Friday, Cyber Monday, the wireless air pod prices we're
down to like forty nine bucks, which those are usually
like one hundred. That's not bad, No, it's not bad
at all. But I have been thinking about doing the
Aaron Rodgers and going back to the wired headphones. I
(11:40):
don't know why I don't have. Every time I read
about it, it's like, no, this is fine, Like like
walking past a microwave gives you more of an issue
than wearing air pods. Yeah, but I just can't make
my brain wrap around that. Oh no, that's perfectly safe.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
There's something about this transmit going from my pockets to
my head that feels like it's going to end up
with a huge, you know, glioblastoma.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
One day because I'm listening to Wean at a.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Gym, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Well, I like bluetooth cans. Oh so they don't fall
because every time, I mean the times I do use
a StairMaster or treadebill, they always seem to fall out
of my ears. I have weird shaped ears. It's like
then you're like looking for the thing that holds.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, I didn't do it the other day at the
why I'm like lifting up a bike like my airpod's
under here somewhere.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Or if they get the airport, like no, I just
like these things, and then you know, this is the
way it is. And I always care a backup bear
because if you're at the airport and the white and
the batteries run out, you can't have no music.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, that's why I take wired headphones on the ones
i'm wearing right now. As a matter of fact, I
take on the plane because they act a little more
like noise canceling, and I just, you know, take the
the dongole adapter and plug it into my phone because
I don't think those AirPods seal enough up for you
(13:02):
to be able to hear. You know, whatever music you're
listening to, you have to have it on eleven and
then it's screaming in your ear and you can't really
hear it, and I can't be good for your ears.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Right, And like podcasts, you can't hear somebody's voice over
like the jet engine.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You listen to podcasts like religiously, but you listen to
them all on two times, right, and sometimes on three
times on Spotify.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
How do you listen to three times?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Because Randy and Abby I listened to like ten hockey
podcasts a day. There's not enough time in the day,
are you absorbing? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I don't know. My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, I listen. I just listened to well.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Good points.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I listened to the Getty Lee autobiography book on tape
and it's Getty Lee doing it. You know, my god,
that sounds like a torture and well where you would
have a Dobby little black site. But no it when
(14:02):
I sped up his voice, I'm like, I think I
might be able to get it to his actual singing
voice if I.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Keep going higher.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
But no, one point five is my limit.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
I was gonna say one point three is my limit, and.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
One point five, I feel like is a little too fast.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It depends, and I do it for the longer pod
like Pardon My Take and podcasts that are like two
and a half hours, those are the ones I'll listen
to on super fast. But like when Maren was the
podcast I listened to all the time, which has gone away,
and that one I used to listen to it like
I wanted to hear that one, so I would listen
to it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Like one point two.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Now what's funny is I would listen to you guys,
well when I lived in California in still May Uh
with my dogs, and I listen on two speed, and
then if it goes to like regular speed, it seems
like you guys are slower than reality.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I know it makes sense, yes, no, because the same
thing happens to me when I listen to the part
of my Take podcast. If I listened to it on
one because occasionally I'll get home and I want to
keep hearing whoever they're interviewing, and I'll put it on
my home Sono system, and it doesn't let you speed
it up when you do that, so it goes back
to just normal speed.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And they all sound like they have CTE.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yeah, they're all of a sudden just I'm like, boy,
these guys aren't as witty as I thought. They're not
nearly as quick as I thought, or like the next
button from two point zho is back too point five
and immediately sounds like like Madden's having a stroke.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, and you have to be careful because that could
be happy.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Anyhow did you do any Black Friday ing or a
Cyber Monday ing?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Abby?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I've never been a Black Friday shopper, just kind of
opposed to it.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I put a bunch of things in the cart for
Cyber Monday, and then I thought I was going to
be morally opposed to that too, And then I waited
the last second because it was a lot of Christmas
stuff from my kid, and then I kind of just
was scanning and seeing if those prices were good enough
and then like last night at like ten pm, I.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Was like fire away.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
I was like, never mind.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yeah, I'm the king of MA and PA restaurants one
thousand percent. And when I used to have CDs, CD
stores or record stores like there local bookstores, but now
it's like I just get things on Amazon.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'm embarrassed to say, well, I'll tell you what. Even
the man.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Christmas shop in like five minutes. Yeah done, Yeah, you
find if you feel disgusted.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
But it's like I do feel disgusted. That's why I
was gonna say. Even the mod PA restaurants like local restaurants.
This is a good way to keep your money local.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Most of them have websites set up with gift cards
that they can email the people for you, so you
don't even have to eat. It's just as quick and
you're keeping your money in town so you can go
to your favorite restaurants and a lot of them. You'd
be surprised how many of them let you order gift cards.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Online and we'll send them out. Something to consider.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I know a small business Saturday this past week, right,
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Small business Saturday?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, No, wouldn't it be this come today is giving Tuesday. Okay,
so I thought, yeah, I think I think they kind
of do, like, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
A friend Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Uh, well, then Mike's getting a big hug because he's
coming in here with your sports.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
As we mentioned before, the Flyers uh get punched in
the math by the Penguins last night.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I do.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
I hate seeing Talking behind their bench again, but like
he wouldn't have been a good coach for us, I
think we got the right guy right now for what
needs to be done.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I love Dan News.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I just wish talk it was still in Vancouver, just
so you didn't have to face him.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, because I love talking. His three cups are here.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Jean's territor joined us a little bit later on this morning.
Charlie Betch will be as well and Billy Gardell live
for the entire nine am hour this morning. Drive careful
out there.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
It's brutal Live from the Donz Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh
shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
This is w d V Pittsburgh. Back off, Boogloo, Bring
me on.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
The show that has always been pure Pittsburgh.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Is the DV Electric Lunch Pittsburgh has decided the menu
every day in the All Request Electric Lunch with Michelle Michaels.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
So let me know what you guys need on DV.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
From the Seedon Hill University Weather Center. Schedule your campus
visit today.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
This report is sponsored by Mattress Firm.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
There's a winter weather advisor.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
All right, thankfully my pursuita made.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It in here.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Okay, we are worried about you just under the wire.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean, it's pretty brutal around these here parts in
the South Hills of Pittsburgh heading to Bridgeville, you coming
in from the east. I always assume it's always worse
out there, but they're not how to deal with it
in West Warland County. Yeah, I got up, My stuff's
plowed already. Yeah, I'm leaving the house at five in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Close.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
So I got to hear the worst gut has it
ever snowed in Bridgeable before? There's no plows out, there
was no seventy nine is a mess And just a
little request. If you're uncertain about driving in snow, don't
be the person who drives in the middle of two
lanes at five miles an hour with your flashes on,
(19:14):
because you're just creating more problem. Right, Just stay home.
If you can't handle serious people try to go around
like you're barely moving. Oh my god, stay home.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Yeah, but you know not everyone hast irritated.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Well, yeah, sorry. They just got to pick a lane.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Like literally, you pick a lane and then you can
put your flashers on or pull over until such a
time as the road is clear again, and then you
can venture back out there.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
But uh, you know, you'll get where you're going.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
It's gonna take it a little longer, right, just take
the appropriate precautions. I'm so happy Joe's here today because
I was watching the Pens last night and another fairly
clinical performance in terms of their structure, and the only
goal they gave up was two men disadvantage, and then
they killed another one of those.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Right now, how many.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Penalty kills do they have last night? I believe they
killed six of seven. That's I mean, that's pretty good special.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
And then they lost the lead on the five on
three goal, and then got two power plays, banged two in,
had one taken away in the third period on a
questionable goalie interferes, just banged another one in. The Carlson
Russ to Crosby goal was poetic. Yeah, it was beautiful.
I mean, it was a nice night for the Pens,
but they kept showing the crowd in Philly, there were
(20:32):
so many Pittsburgh people a ton and this has taking
me back, joh.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I don't know if you know this about me.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
My family's all from Beaver County, yes, but I grew
up in Philly, So we were Pittsburgh fans in Philly.
And at the time, it was the Broad Street Bullies
days in the seventies, and my dad was a school teacher.
He knew a couple of people that had Flyer season tickets.
They sold out the Spectrum. Back then, you couldn't get
a flyer's ticket, so they would give lost the Penguins
(21:00):
tickets because they were so bored with watching the Flyers
beat the Penguins nine to one at the Spectrum. So
we would go to all those games in the seventies
that they never won. I was at almost every one
of them, and there was maybe two other people in
their root for Pitts like it was r going.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's like Blue Jerseys Day days.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, we were oh for Nixon showed
up yea literally and my buddy and my buddy rest
in peace.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Tony Caruso went with those guys.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Paulsit and cren for those who don't know, doing the
DV morning show at the time, went to Philadelphia and
somehow they let them on the ice to do a
like a Native American which the curse, which doctor dance
to lift the curse, and it worked. They won that
game and it lifted the cursion. Ever since, I'm not
(21:52):
sure what the record is, but I would assume it's well,
it's definitely much more even than it was prior to that.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Well, I exercised a couple of my personal it's because
in the late eighties, they want a playoff series against
or they played a playoff series against Philly.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
They didn't win it.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
That was the Ken regged game set right, But they
won a couple of games in Philly in that round.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But it just blew me away last night.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
I mean, I know the Flyers haven't sold tickets for
years because they've been so bad for so long. They
play in front of ten thousand people, and they're always
having to do promotions online. They they buy two for one,
there's sweet tickets for ten bucks. It's like, you know,
they're they're begging to get people in the building. I'm thinking, boy,
times have changed, because back in the seventies it was
(22:34):
like going into rushing a single handed you know. Yeah
one on seventeen thousand.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But I was surprised at the amount of Penguin's jerseys
and I was mistaking to myself.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Man, those are ballsy fans.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
Well, there's nobody there anymore for Philly. Well, there's enough
people there. It's not like going to an Eagle game.
It's not even close. They're just everybody's sitting three rows
apart and get your feet up and hey, what's going
on down there?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I will tell you the the worst fights I've ever
witnessed at a sporting event have been at the Igloo
during Penguins Flyers games. The Iglu there were yeah, this
new one, it's a little too fancy. People are paying
too much for their seats. But like I remember going
on the smoking deck during those games, and it was
(23:20):
like it was like going out to watch you know, MMA,
Like okay, like you know, morons mauling each other.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Uh, it would be immediate f you.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
If you have a ban bang bang wam, just it
would be that quick and they would break up a
fight and you'd be like, wow, that one was and
another one would start and that would be like in
between periods and during the game there's people jawing at
each other. I'm just like, this has to be I've
been I had been to many Yankees Red Sox games
where I always thought, well, this is the most heated
(23:54):
rivalry in sports.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I think there was a time there in the nineties
going over into the Oughts where that Stealer or that
Penguins Flyers rivalry. The amount of violence that was occurring
in theme amongst the fans had to be as much
has occurred in any other rivalry. It's truly one of
the last great rivalries sports, and I'm glad it's heating
up again. And they kind of roughed up Tindall last night,
(24:19):
which is great because he can learn the hatred. Yeah
as a young man.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Yeah, you know, I love how the young guys hate
them too now, because that's the thing. No one hates
them like Sid and Genus. I was just gonna SEEO
hate them like we do.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I was gonna say, do you think that Sid's hatred
of them, which is open and it's rare for him
It almost is like exposing the weakness for him to
talk about how much he hates them, but that's how
much he hates them.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Do you think that bleeds.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Over to those younger guys to help make them understand,
because I'm not sure if that's something that he preaches
to them, like FYI, this is the enemy. Yeah, but
then you see what like Ziegris, did you know, you
see what those guys do, and it's like, yeah, they're
jag offs.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Yeah, it's easy to hate them. Yeah, they're definitely easy
to hate. Like quality quality went last night?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Uh and Jarry Good in net again?
Speaker 9 (25:05):
Yeah, or Joe. I've seen some uh chatter online that
Edmonton might be interested.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah, I mean that was a should you should.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
You carry him halfway to Edmonton and I'll take him
the rest of the way.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
You know, it's a lot of money, Mike. I don't
want to tank. I don't He's the hot hand. If anything,
she left down, if he clears, he doesn't clear, bring mirror,
shove up. We're in a playoff spot. We're gonna playoff
spot in the mark American Thanksgiving. Let's go, let's get
let's let's stay in the race, Let's get out from
under and stay in the race anyway. Well, well, then
Mishaw is gonna come up and play every game because
(25:40):
she loves Okay. Can't stop a beach can't stop a
beach ball. I've seen the Jarry thing before. I'd like
to not say it anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, I'm with you, like, take advantage of him having
a hot streak.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, and hey, yeah she looks hot again.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But if you really need him.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah, But Mike, they're saying like we would take back
Skinner and Walman.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I don't want neither.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Of those guys. Who's the take wehying dumb Skinner. No
one want Skinner. Just take him and cut him.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Do what you gotta do to get Jerry out of
town to young Russian be the goldender. I look at
all the other tenth rookie last night playing McGroarty.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Make it all rookies. Why not?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah, I think they're still gonna be a market for
Jari in a couple of months.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Callingy win for your Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Last'll be here in uh late March, after Michigan chokes
in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, I mean you know, I mean it's it's funny
how Brazo's coming back and then and Raquel's coming back.
Where are these guys gonna I mean, obviously Raquel's gonna
find a spot Bras. What's gonna happen to Timmy Novak?
He's playing some pretty good hockey. We need to keep uh.
I always gonna call him Obama, Imama boku in the.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Lineup I heard driving up. Yeah, I was impressed. Yeah
I did. I beg, I beg. You know, he went
to the neuthart a couple of times. He didn't finish it,
but he hit the pipe. He could play a little hawk.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
It was one of the most disappointing things of the
preseason was how he just did not play good. I
kind of thought he had a spot on the team
if he played well. I thought comfortables year. He had
so much more to Jonas coping in. I mean, give
me a break, he's coping in do I'm sorry I
picked on two segments right now. No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I don't hate him. I just just bring something to
you know, said the kid with two goals last night.
Just missus the hatcher.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Him in the Jarry deal to Edmonton coping.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, you know, we have a bunch of kids. We'll
give you jar and we'll give you coping deal. I mean,
Hollander before the blood blub played good. I like that, bros. Kid.
We actually have a bunch of talent right now. It
goes and you know what, Eric Carlson has played great. Yeah, yeah,
I mean for about two games he's played great.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
But he had that had to be something between him
and Sullivan because you know the quote he gave about
Sullivan leaving and all of a sudden he's not being
asked to do things he can't do.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
That was pretty telling. In Watherspoon and Shaye, are you
kidding me? If you could have told me those guys
would be stalwarts on our blue line. I mean, everything
has come together, and you gotta praise Dubis. You gotta
praise Dan Muse. Damn Muse got the bet in most
of these guys.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Joe Bartner canging out with us this morning pends with
a nice win in Philadelphia when the Lord's work five
to one as he calls it, and we'll talk with
Gene's terotor next hour.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Boy, bad weekend for the Zebras.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Wow, that was a rough one man from pro to
College one.
Speaker 9 (28:33):
Of the al timers trump even getting the rules wrong,
like the yeah, the protocol enforcement of the game. If
they're reffing that up, not just oh that was past interference,
that wasn't past.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right, No, they are adjudicating incorrectly. Yes, Charlie Batch and
Billy Gardell for an hour in the nine o'clock Our Abby,
you'll have your news coming up at the top.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Now that we're officially in December, I've got all the
things coming up this month that we can look forward to,
plus the Super Bowl sixty.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Pre game festivities are set.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Game day bar of the week for bud Light, the
winn Haven and Cranberry this NFL season, stopping the win
Haven and grabbed two seventy five but Light bottles during
Steelers games. Bud Light easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
A streaming at DV dot com, here on the iHeartRadio
app and all.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Your smart devices. This is one O two point five
DV E.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
If you can't get enough. If you're Pittsburgh, it's the
DV Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Our buddy Joe Bartnec hanging out with us live in
the studio, fresh off a weekend of you were doing
comedy all over the place, you're in Philadelphia, You were
in Massachusetts or Providence where they hell were?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Yes, Philadelphia, Ben Salem and Providence was just an incredible
Italian dinner and it was showing that's the only kind
of dinner in Providence. It's all Italians. Yeah, it was.
It was incredible pizza. And then they said the raviolis.
You know, my grandmother just you know, make homemade ravioli.
So they were good. They were they were a restaurants.
Did you get a Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Though?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I did in Philly? Okay.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
It's like forty five Flyer fans, which was great. They
were kind of leaving me and I missed this big
picture they were all gonna take.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I was relaxing.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, and they're like, oh, were you leave it to
a Penguin fan to be sleeping.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
I'm like, I was resting on all my Stanley cumps.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Stick it to him. Yeah, Penguin stuck it to him
last night.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
A segment we like to do on Tuesday's misstackles some
stories from around the league that we didn't necessarily get to.
I have to tell you most of them revolve around
the Steelers, but we'll start with the Browns. The Browns
and the forty nine Ers game was pretty contentious. I'm
not sure if you saw that, but defensive tackle Shelby
Harris after the game was talking about forty nine Ers
(30:40):
receiver Jwan Jennings, who is a well known bleepster, and
he was none too happy with some of his antics
during the game.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
He's a hole.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
I'll love that known.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Like, I see why he got pushing the nuts, because
that's like he says some things that you should not
say to another man ever. But I don't respect it
because you say that I didn't run behind your old line.
That's some real salt, and I want that know. I
see exactly why they punched the nuts. I'm surprised nobody
punched him into Joliet.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
He's oh, and I want that known.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
It's such a hilarious sound by He's a hoe and I.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
Want that known.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
I love that he's a hoe.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Is making a resurgence.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, it's twice this week.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I mean with the Lane Kiffin uh situation down at
Old Miss one of the student reporters down there quoted
Ludacris in calling him a hoe. And he's not a housewife.
He's a house I make a whole housewife. Yeah, so
hoe's having a big week word bring it back?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Not since Velvet Jones on Saturday Night Live in the
early eighties have we heard the word ho so much.
Lane Kiffin is a hoe though, Oh man is he ever?
Coward went off on Lane Kiffin yesterday on the Dan
Patrick Show.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
He also weighed in on the fire Mike Tomlin chance.
Now we talked about this a little bit yesterday. There's
some revisionist history as it pertains to Steelers fans remembering
what it was really like with coach Cower those last years.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
A few years running up to that Super Bowl win
in Detroit. This town wanted him gone.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It was not quite what Mike Tomlin is getting right
now because social media wasn't as prevalent.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
But the.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Cries for fire Cower, while maybe not organized in stadium
like they were for Tomlin, they were there. But Randy
our cry against Calor was he was over five in
championship game. He can't win a playoff game in a decade.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Here he was talking about those like.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
I said, they're very passionate fans. I know one thing.
He's not gonna let the outside noise influence or how
he's going to change his approach to this next game.
He knows it's a lot on stake. They're not playing
great football right now. He's got to find a way
to rally that group and get them to believe that
they still have a chance to win this division.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Did you get fire chance when you were there in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 11 (33:02):
I alder, I got a fire chance.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
But I think that I was.
Speaker 11 (33:05):
You know, there was some people that when you when
you had a losing year, and you walk past them,
people start to whisper before they say, hey, coach, great
to see him. When they start, when they start whispering, Dan,
you know, it's probably not.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
A good thing.
Speaker 11 (33:19):
So when you walk by and people are whispering, that's
probably a good sign if things are not going that well.
When they walk by and it's going well, they're going,
hey coach, great job, good luck. Hey love what you're doing.
Hey you might want to throw the ball a little
bit more. Okay, gotcha. You know you're right on. So
I got to the point. Actually, I said, you know,
my point is when we won, I had no problems
(33:40):
stopping the way home from gas. You're getting gas. When
we lost, I waited tilt.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
The night was dark.
Speaker 11 (33:46):
I ten thirty eleven, I was, and I didn't want
to hear about it. Honestly, in the morning on the
way to work, Like you know, I didn't want to
hear about it was because they would Everybody would pull
up right next to me. They would be act like
they're pulling up their their their gas tank was absolutely
fully put the nozzle. They would stand there in front
of their cars to tell me everything that I should
be doing. We're not run the football enough, You're too conservative,
(34:09):
nobody's rushing the quarterback, and like you need to make
some changes on that team, and even with their coaching staff.
Now that we go yes, yes, yes, and yes, you're
probably right, I need to reevaluate.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I will say he's often talked about the gas station
encounters here in Pittsburgh. Cower always talked about that because
that's where he would hear an earful from from Steelers fans.
But I think that Mike Tomlin has been wise to
follow coach Coward's lead in this regard. Agree with the fans. Oh,
they're calling for me to be fired. I share their frustration.
(34:40):
Like you, you can't say like f them or I'm
going to prove them wrong, you just have to say yeah, no, look,
I get it, I understand it now. When James Harrison
had this to say yesterday, this really went viral, and
with good reason. Anybody who's been paying attention knows James
Harrison and Mike Tomlin there is no love loss between them,
so I would say take some of these comments with
(35:01):
a grain of salt. However, James Harrison has been calling
for a regime change for a long time for the Steelers, and.
Speaker 12 (35:09):
As much as I hate to say this, I had
never been a person that thought coach Tomlin was a
great coach.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
I thought he was a good coach, and I'll be honest.
Speaker 12 (35:23):
Part of that is because when I was slated to
be the starter when Joey left, he drafted one and
two outside linebackers and I was actually behind one of
them for a minute. Okay, but right now, we have
coaches on this staff and that's it. And when I
(35:45):
say coaches, I'm saying this as a coach is someone
that tells you what to do and it doesn't matter
if what they're telling you to do is right or wrong.
That's what a coach does. Have coaches. Okay, a good
coach gets you to play to your potential. And right now,
(36:10):
the players we have on that.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Team I have seen play.
Speaker 12 (36:15):
I know they can do it. I have seen them
do it, and they're not playing up to their potential.
And a great coach, a great coach, a great coach,
gets you to play beyond your potential.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I don't think you can play beyond your potential. I
think you can play up to your potential, but beyond
your potential, I don't know. James goes on for a
couple of minutes there and basically just excoriates Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
He's no fan for the people who think that.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
When Steeler fans are chanting fire Mike Tomlin, that there's
some indication that it's going to happen mid season. In
a million years, that would never happen. That is never
going to happened for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin.
But I think he is coaching for his job right now.
I don't know if he wants to keep it, you know.
Diana Rassini was saying yesterday that when you talk to
(37:14):
coach Tomlin, he looks tired, that his passion for the
game is not escaped, but he is a very tired person,
worn out, maybe just burnt out.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
It's kind of sounded like my mom talking to me
on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
You're tired.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
You look tired. Now you have passion, I get it,
but you look tired.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I don't know if Mike Tomlin's gonna use it as
an excuse at the end of the season to say, Hey,
I need to check myself and go spend some time
with the family and I'm burnt out on this. I
don't think that's him. I really don't. There are people
speculating that that will be the course that he, you know,
pushes forward with. I think he wants to win with
(37:57):
this team and believes he still can. They screwed up
so much in the preseason, though, in the construction of
this team that I'm not sure he can get out
from behind that eight ball has.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Part of the criticism, though, been with Tomlin that he's
trying to control too much.
Speaker 13 (38:13):
Well, yeah, yeah, definitely, so that we could be part
of the burnout though, yeah, right, no question, you're kind
of not delegating in a way, You're not letting everyone
do their job, so you're over controlling the outcome.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Essentially, yeah, and you're out of options not realizing.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
Am I the drama?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Hi, I'm the problem coach, It's me.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
But yeah, he would be better suited to have two
coordinators that he left completely autonomous and like, you guys,
do what you do. I will make the in game
calls like that might help him. He's just not that
kind of guy. He's not He wants to have his
stamp on things. And I think that defensively, you know.
I know what Mike was saying yesterday about the fact
(38:58):
that the Bills were doing things the exact same over
and over and they couldn't stop it. But when you
look at some of the tape and some of the
pictures that were still shots from the all twenty two
that were put out on social media yesterday.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
It's like, what were they doing?
Speaker 5 (39:11):
What were some of those defensive formations that they were
lining up against the Bills with When they were still
just running that same play with James Cook start left
and then roll around the right side, it looks like AI,
it was just pee wee football, just people just running
over the Steelers, and that's what makes everybody in this
town sick.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I remember in the sixties, I wasn't a rabbit.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
My dad would say the Steelers would always lose in
the sixties, but people would say, yeah, you might beat
the Steelers, but you're gonna lose the next week. Like, yeah,
we always had a tough defense and to get run
on that just hurts our soul.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
I mean, they spent ten million dollars on Darius Slay
and he was a healthy scratch last week. They screwed
up in the construction of this team in a big,
big way.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Just as I was saying, how like for a few
years we didn't really have a backup goaltender and that
was a derelict of duty.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
They don't have a number two receiver. Oh no, how
do you?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
I mean, just the fact that we can't throw the
ball more than ten yards because we don't have anyone
that can run ten yards to catch a pass again,
is like, how are you going to win in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
This is not like Division three football. Now, you're one
hundred percent right. They've they've completely screwed up in the
construction of this team. And when you look back at
some of the decisions they make, and also they missed
on a couple of the big name guys, Patrick Queen
is not exactly panning out to be the Mike Singletary
that they were hoping him to be, or should I
say more like James Ferrier, that just ain't happening.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
All right, Michael joined us.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
We'll have more on the Penguins big win in Philadelphia
last night, and I look ahead at what's going to
be a tumultuous week for the Pittsburgh Steelers getting ready
for the Ravens Sunday.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
At one o'clock.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
First place in the division is on the line for
the Steelers team that booed Renegade this past Sunday.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
And it is frightful weather out there this morning, Abbey.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
Yeah, it really is, so please be careful.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Remember the speed on most of the highways is reduced
to about forty five miles per hour, so please be safe.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
But snow and flurries this morning is slippy.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
We got Charlie Batch, Jean's Terator, and Billy Gardell on
the way DVE.
Speaker 10 (41:17):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Callie Ante Pizza and Draft Holes, three
time world pizza champions, and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it
direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.
Here's Tom Opferman.
Speaker 14 (41:30):
The Buffalo Bills brought the NFL's number one rushing offense
to Pittsburgh Sunday, and that rushing offense dominated the game
as a guided the Bills to their twenty six to
seven victory over the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
James Cook led the way.
Speaker 14 (41:40):
For Buffalo on the ground, gaining one hundred and forty
four yards on thirty two carries, his NFL leading seventh
game rushing over one hundred yards this year. The Bills
improved to six and one in games where Cook eclipses
the century mark. It wasn't just James Cook, as Ray
Davis and Josh Allen added sixty two and thirty eight
rushing yards respectively to rack up a total of two
hundred and forty nine yards on fifty one carries for Buffalo.
(42:02):
Two hundred and forty nine yards is the most rushing
yards gained against the Steelers at Akrosher Stadium and the
most overall in Pittsburgh since nineteen seventy five. Went funny enough,
the Buffalo Bills ran for three hundred and ten yards
at three Rivers Stadium. Offensively, things didn't go any better
for Steelers either. They were able to generate only fifty
eight yards rushing on one of the league's worst run
defenses heading into the game, and only gained one hundred
(42:24):
and sixty six yards of total offense with just eighteen
minutes time of possession. The loss dropped the Steelers to
six and six, same as the Baltimore Ravens, who they
played this Sunday at M and T Bank Stadium in Baltimore,
with the winner taking control of the AFC North Division.
Speaker 5 (42:39):
I'm Tom Afferman with the Steelers report.
Speaker 4 (42:43):
The Black and Gold faith will always travel well to
Yesterday. They only went for it once on fourth down.
Of course, that was the fourth and two near the
goal line. After they threw the ball all the way
down to the goal line, they decided to run it
in on fourth and two and an ill designed play
and we'll leave it at that. And that's when they
decided to try and play renegade after that, which was
which that was a that was a bad choice.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Milk was a bad choice.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It was the equivalent of like in spinal Tap when
they're like, are we gonna do Stonenge?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Right? It's read the Room Randy Bellman and the DV
Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I hope everybody is taking their time to get into
work this morning. And if you're waking up and just
looking outside, you're going to see the winter wonderland that
is the city of Pittsburgh this morning. But most of
the plows, at least in the South Hills heading down
here to Bridgeville, have not been out yet, so we
are all just rolling in fresh from the snow this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And it's uh.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
I mean, I won't go so far as to say
it's treacherous, but you gotta take your time.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
There's a lot of snow on the ground that hasn't
been plowed.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
It's not good.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
No, it is not good. Joe Barnic and studio with
us too this morning, by the way, and you saw
an accident in Bridgeville, right.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yeah, Well I don't know what part between Bridgeville and
like Upper Sinclaire with a Barril Road whatever that. Yeah, No,
Man's Land is yeah exactly. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like
as hilly as this town is.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
On mornings like this, when the snow hits right before
the morning commute, it gets a little hairy out there.
Today it's going to be like that because I think Abby,
the snow is gonna keep coming for a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It is, and it's the biggest issue is that it's
all when you're going to be doing your morning commute.
So that's why you have now school delays that are
rolling in. I know my kids rolled in last night,
so we knew that it was going to be a
delay this morning, which at first I'm looking outside and
going they.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, it's like the Steelers defense exactly, but makes sense
this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It seem after ten am it'll roll off and then
we're just gonna have clouds. But for now, snow and
flurries this morning it's up to an inch. Otherwise cloudy
and cold, we can get up to three inches. Snow
can make the roads and sidewalks very slippery, so a
lot of travel disruptions.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
High of thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
This would be a great morning if you can do
remote work to go ahead and flex that muscle.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Don't be a hero this morning. That's my number one
advice to you. Don't be a hero.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Air on the side of being a little bit late
for work if you have to. Because I was coming
down seventy nine and I was you know, you know,
I was born in bits, you know, I grew up
in this kind of crap, and so I'm like, come on, man,
people are being a little too cautious, right, So I'm like,
I'll just pass everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And then I just stopped myself.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm like, wait a minute, there's a tractor trailer and
another huge truck in front of that. Like I'm going
to pass those cars on a non cloud road so
I can get to work.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Talk about releigance.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
What am I doing here? So it's just work and
you'll get there.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yes, there is reduced speed on the highways as well
to forty five.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Oh, it's yeah. You won't probably be able to go
much faster than that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Now the dudes around me did, but it is a
reduced speed.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Just just tell you, guys know it's speed.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I drive slow anyway. This is right at my alley. Yeah, yes,
you No, I wouldn't picture you as a slow driver.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
That is.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
It's like a dichotomy. Joe Bartnick slow driver. Yeah, I'm
just not ever in a rush. I leave early, like
for the other thing I have to be on is
for gigs and flights.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Other than that, I wouldn't be here on time. Sure,
But other than that, it's like, what's the rush? What's
because after living in La for so long, you can
never catch up, so there's no sense trying, Oh, we're
five minutes late, we're gonna You're never gonna catch up,
So just admit the fact you're not going to catch up.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
The Penguins last night with a nice one over the Flyers,
I was I was thinking about you, and I was
gonna text you in the middle of the game. Then
I realized that's a that is a PA and I
stopped myself. But for one they end up beating Talket
and the Flyers. It was it was just an incredible.
It was just an incredible night.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
I just I literally listened to the first two periods
at Logan and then flew on Delta. Shout out to Delta.
Great Wi Fi. Yeah, because I've had I've had some
problems on games, like you know, I mean in two
thousand and nine, like the Flurry game, I was losing
Wi Fi on my flight and I just freaked. I go,
you know what, I just have to shut off my
(04:30):
phone and pray because this is driving me crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, that would in the middle of a Cup round,
that would absolutely drive me crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
But last night, no nice nice one for the boys there.
Last night.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Sid loves beating the Flyers, so that I just like
to see Sid happy, you know what I mean. That's
how I am kind of with this team right now.
I just want to see Sid happy.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Sid is happy, he said, is playing some of the
best talking of his life.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I know.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
It was so funny, you know, I'm doing The Morning
The Morning the Soft Dumbs for DVE and I begged
Cayle Dubis on Sunday after that debacle with Toronto, I
go bring up Boku and bring up Rutger.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And he did.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yes, right, Well, he's listening. So anything else you want
to ask for, I would do it now. Uh, I'm
completely I mean five to one and was it five one?
It was five one, and you know, guarded Hathaway talkt
wisked him away to safety, much like Cliff Harris, like
you don't want to get on the ice with Boco.
I love the fact that we have a nuclear weapon.
Oh you would have touched Sid. This man will take
(05:25):
his ten game suspension and you'll be in a body bag.
They needed that for so long and did not have
it and Bocu could play. I was disappointed this preseason
because I'm like Boca, we don't have a good preseason.
He didn't earn the spot. But then he went down
to the Wilks played great and now he's back in
Like he's so much He's added so much more than
(05:46):
Yon's competent, Like what Yoda's competent doing. No, it's like
a free skate. It's like, oh, everybody free skate. At
least this guy's out there. You can for check a
little bit and just to have the enforcer and Rutger
is great. Yeah, you love Rucker. I love record. I
love everything about it. Because it sounds like a dog
is saying it Chicago. I mean Jar's playing great. Uh, well,
(06:14):
it was a big performance from him last night.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes, Michael had more on that and also a bad
day for Mike Tomlin. The national media really took that
story and ran with it yesterday, like we knew they
would when they when they chant fire Mike Tomlin at
a Steelers game, you can expect that the national media
is going to weigh in.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Uh, most of the takes I thought were measured.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
There is this group, you know, from Ian Rappaport, Michael Wilbon,
these people who think that he is untouchable and the
idea of moving away from him is tantamount to, uh,
you know, organizational self destruction.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I just don't know what they're looking at. The proof
is in the pudding or lack thereof, you know, we don't.
We haven't had any pudding for a long time.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
About ten years, no playoff pudding.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And Michael Wilbon said that he'll root against the Steelers
every game if they got rid of Mike Tomlins.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Cares he rings against Sydney Crosby. Go away, Wilbon.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, I'm with you on that, like, who cares who
he He's so petulant. It's like, dude, I don't know, Like,
I don't know which Wilbon I'm getting. Am I getting
the phony Wilbon fan take on things? Or am I
getting the informed journalist who actually has measured in reasonable
responses to things.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
That guy went away twenty years ago. He used to
be an incredible journalist when journalists mattered. Yeah, and then
he got that NBA beat and he started kissing everybody's butt.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, that's a great point. I forgot about that.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
I used to love him.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I still think that uh PTI is really good. Oh
it's the best show. I was kind you don't even
need any of those other shows. Like they're all trying
to be that and they don't understand that the thing
that makes it great is Will Bond and Corneiser, right,
you know, it's not just putting two people there. No,
and when other people are in that seat, it's like, nah,
it's not as good.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Right, Yeah, Like you know Holland Garfunkle doesn't work as good.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know, Simon and Oates.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
There's something to the combination. And they don't argue and
scream at each other. Right, that's what makes it so
much better as well. But that's what the other guys.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Are being coached to do right now because that brings
attention on the show. And oh, look at this clip
where Rex Ryan goes completely nuclear on his good morning
whatever cast mates.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah, I mean you guys are I mean, well, I
think you're of age. Remember there was this morning was
Sports Center and then hot Chicks doing aerobics. That's right.
ESPN just had hot Chicks doing aerobics for hours in
between Sports Centers.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I remember I would go in early in the morning
to do the X and it was the TV would
always be left on ESPN. It was the first thing
I saw every morning because it always sync up really
nice to Rob Zombie.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh yeah, this works. K Abby's got a news update
for us right now.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
What's going on this hour is brought to you buy
your neighborhood Ford Store. And because it's so nice and
white and snowy out yesterday, how likely is it we're
going to see snow for Christmas this year in Pittsburgh.
While we all know that nature can be unpredictable, the
odds that the snow is going to be in.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Pittsburgh this year isn't great.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Apparently, It's going to mainly fall in Central Pa apparently,
so it sounds like we're going to get a pretty
gentle and mild winter in the United States.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
But despite that, the.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Old Farmer's Almanac said that the forecast and the likelihood
of a white Christmas, we'll get it in Pennsylvania, but
in generally we're not going to have it for Pittsburgh.
So enjoy it now, I guess, is my point?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Or yeah? Or endure it now?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Endure it now?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yesterday was cyber Monday, but Black Friday?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Is it making it obsolete?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Now?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Adobe Analytics says that Americans set a new record for
online shopping on Black Friday, which was about eleven point
eight billion, and that is up from nine percent from
ten point eight billion last year.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So the peak was ten am to two pm.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
We were spending twelve point five million per minute.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Did you do any kind.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Of cyber Monday?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
You did? I did?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
My buddy's birthday's coming up and I want to get
him something as well as a bottle of booze, but
somethingde the keepsake.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, I don't even think to do it. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I always think that, Like, you know, I grew up
with my dad in his carpet store marking up the remnants,
you know, fifty percent and having a twenty five percent
off sale. You know what I mean, I never trust
the sale. I'm like, I don't really think we're getting
a big deal work. I mean, full disclosure.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
It just happened to be Monday that I ordered it
because I'm like, I'm gonna forget, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Now we're sitting at Logan Air. Did you get a
screaming deal?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Though?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
It was a it's a cool t shirt on for
the air? Yeah, okay, no for fifteen.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Bucks, so all right, you know, such a deal.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, I know. There was like a lot of headphone
deals going on.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I kept getting those in my feet, like coming up
on Friday, Cyber Monday, the wireless air pod prices we're
down to like forty nine bucks, which those are usually
like one hundred. That's not bad, No, it's not bad
at all. But I have been thinking about doing the
Aaron Rodgers and going back to the wired headphones. I
(11:40):
don't know why I don't have. Every time I read
about it, it's like, no, this is fine, Like like
walking past a microwave gives you more of an issue
than wearing air pods. Yeah, but I just can't make
my brain wrap around that. Oh no, that's perfectly safe.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
There's something about this transmit going from my pockets to
my head that feels like it's going to end up
with a huge, you know, glioblastoma.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
One day because I'm listening to Wean at a.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Gym, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Well, I like bluetooth cans. Oh so they don't fall
because every time, I mean the times I do use
a StairMaster or treadebill, they always seem to fall out
of my ears. I have weird shaped ears. It's like
then you're like looking for the thing that holds.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, I didn't do it the other day at the
why I'm like lifting up a bike like my airpod's
under here somewhere.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Or if they get the airport, like no, I just
like these things, and then you know, this is the
way it is. And I always care a backup bear
because if you're at the airport and the white and
the batteries run out, you can't have no music.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, that's why I take wired headphones on the ones
i'm wearing right now. As a matter of fact, I
take on the plane because they act a little more
like noise canceling, and I just, you know, take the
the dongole adapter and plug it into my phone because
I don't think those AirPods seal enough up for you
(13:02):
to be able to hear. You know, whatever music you're
listening to, you have to have it on eleven and
then it's screaming in your ear and you can't really
hear it, and I can't be good for your ears.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Right, And like podcasts, you can't hear somebody's voice over
like the jet engine.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
You listen to podcasts like religiously, but you listen to
them all on two times, right, and sometimes on three
times on Spotify.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
How do you listen to three times?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Because Randy and Abby I listened to like ten hockey
podcasts a day. There's not enough time in the day,
are you absorbing? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I don't know. My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, I listen. I just listened to well.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Good points.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I listened to the Getty Lee autobiography book on tape
and it's Getty Lee doing it. You know, my god,
that sounds like a torture and well where you would
have a Dobby little black site. But no it when
(14:02):
I sped up his voice, I'm like, I think I
might be able to get it to his actual singing
voice if I.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Keep going higher.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
But no, one point five is my limit.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
I was gonna say one point three is my limit, and.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
One point five, I feel like is a little too fast.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It depends, and I do it for the longer pod
like Pardon My Take and podcasts that are like two
and a half hours, those are the ones I'll listen
to on super fast. But like when Maren was the
podcast I listened to all the time, which has gone away,
and that one I used to listen to it like
I wanted to hear that one, so I would listen
to it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Like one point two.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Now what's funny is I would listen to you guys,
well when I lived in California in still May Uh
with my dogs, and I listen on two speed, and
then if it goes to like regular speed, it seems
like you guys are slower than reality.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I know it makes sense, yes, no, because the same
thing happens to me when I listen to the part
of my Take podcast. If I listened to it on
one because occasionally I'll get home and I want to
keep hearing whoever they're interviewing, and I'll put it on
my home Sono system, and it doesn't let you speed
it up when you do that, so it goes back
to just normal speed.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And they all sound like they have CTE.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yeah, they're all of a sudden just I'm like, boy,
these guys aren't as witty as I thought. They're not
nearly as quick as I thought, or like the next
button from two point zho is back too point five
and immediately sounds like like Madden's having a stroke.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, and you have to be careful because that could
be happy.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Anyhow did you do any Black Friday ing or a
Cyber Monday ing?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Abby?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I've never been a Black Friday shopper, just kind of
opposed to it.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I put a bunch of things in the cart for
Cyber Monday, and then I thought I was going to
be morally opposed to that too, And then I waited
the last second because it was a lot of Christmas
stuff from my kid, and then I kind of just
was scanning and seeing if those prices were good enough
and then like last night at like ten pm, I.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Was like fire away.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
I was like, never mind.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yeah, I'm the king of MA and PA restaurants one
thousand percent. And when I used to have CDs, CD
stores or record stores like there local bookstores, but now
it's like I just get things on Amazon.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'm embarrassed to say, well, I'll tell you what. Even
the man.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Christmas shop in like five minutes. Yeah done, Yeah, you
find if you feel disgusted.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
But it's like I do feel disgusted. That's why I
was gonna say. Even the mod PA restaurants like local restaurants.
This is a good way to keep your money local.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Most of them have websites set up with gift cards
that they can email the people for you, so you
don't even have to eat. It's just as quick and
you're keeping your money in town so you can go
to your favorite restaurants and a lot of them. You'd
be surprised how many of them let you order gift cards.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Online and we'll send them out. Something to consider.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I know a small business Saturday this past week, right,
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Small business Saturday?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, No, wouldn't it be this come today is giving Tuesday. Okay,
so I thought, yeah, I think I think they kind
of do, like, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
A friend Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Uh, well, then Mike's getting a big hug because he's
coming in here with your sports.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
As we mentioned before, the Flyers uh get punched in
the math by the Penguins last night.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I do.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
I hate seeing Talking behind their bench again, but like
he wouldn't have been a good coach for us, I
think we got the right guy right now for what
needs to be done.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I love Dan News.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I just wish talk it was still in Vancouver, just
so you didn't have to face him.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, because I love talking. His three cups are here.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Jean's territor joined us a little bit later on this morning.
Charlie Betch will be as well and Billy Gardell live
for the entire nine am hour this morning. Drive careful
out there.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
It's brutal Live from the Donz Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh
shops for appliances.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
This is w d V Pittsburgh. Back off, Boogloo, Bring
me on.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
The show that has always been pure Pittsburgh.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Is the DV Electric Lunch Pittsburgh has decided the menu
every day in the All Request Electric Lunch with Michelle Michaels.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
So let me know what you guys need on DV.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
From the Seedon Hill University Weather Center. Schedule your campus
visit today.
Speaker 6 (18:23):
This report is sponsored by Mattress Firm.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
There's a winter weather advisor.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
All right, thankfully my pursuita made.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It in here.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Okay, we are worried about you just under the wire.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean, it's pretty brutal around these here parts in
the South Hills of Pittsburgh heading to Bridgeville, you coming
in from the east. I always assume it's always worse
out there, but they're not how to deal with it
in West Warland County. Yeah, I got up, My stuff's
plowed already. Yeah, I'm leaving the house at five in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Close.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
So I got to hear the worst gut has it
ever snowed in Bridgeable before? There's no plows out, there
was no seventy nine is a mess And just a
little request. If you're uncertain about driving in snow, don't
be the person who drives in the middle of two
lanes at five miles an hour with your flashes on,
(19:14):
because you're just creating more problem. Right, Just stay home.
If you can't handle serious people try to go around
like you're barely moving. Oh my god, stay home.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Yeah, but you know not everyone hast irritated.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Well, yeah, sorry. They just got to pick a lane.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Like literally, you pick a lane and then you can
put your flashers on or pull over until such a
time as the road is clear again, and then you
can venture back out there.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
But uh, you know, you'll get where you're going.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
It's gonna take it a little longer, right, just take
the appropriate precautions. I'm so happy Joe's here today because
I was watching the Pens last night and another fairly
clinical performance in terms of their structure, and the only
goal they gave up was two men disadvantage, and then
they killed another one of those.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Right now, how many.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Penalty kills do they have last night? I believe they
killed six of seven. That's I mean, that's pretty good special.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
And then they lost the lead on the five on
three goal, and then got two power plays, banged two in,
had one taken away in the third period on a
questionable goalie interferes, just banged another one in. The Carlson
Russ to Crosby goal was poetic. Yeah, it was beautiful.
I mean, it was a nice night for the Pens,
but they kept showing the crowd in Philly, there were
(20:32):
so many Pittsburgh people a ton and this has taking
me back, joh.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I don't know if you know this about me.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
My family's all from Beaver County, yes, but I grew
up in Philly, So we were Pittsburgh fans in Philly.
And at the time, it was the Broad Street Bullies
days in the seventies, and my dad was a school teacher.
He knew a couple of people that had Flyer season tickets.
They sold out the Spectrum. Back then, you couldn't get
a flyer's ticket, so they would give lost the Penguins
(21:00):
tickets because they were so bored with watching the Flyers
beat the Penguins nine to one at the Spectrum. So
we would go to all those games in the seventies
that they never won. I was at almost every one
of them, and there was maybe two other people in
their root for Pitts like it was r going.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's like Blue Jerseys Day days.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, we were oh for Nixon showed
up yea literally and my buddy and my buddy rest
in peace.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Tony Caruso went with those guys.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Paulsit and cren for those who don't know, doing the
DV morning show at the time, went to Philadelphia and
somehow they let them on the ice to do a
like a Native American which the curse, which doctor dance
to lift the curse, and it worked. They won that
game and it lifted the cursion. Ever since, I'm not
(21:52):
sure what the record is, but I would assume it's well,
it's definitely much more even than it was prior to that.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Well, I exercised a couple of my personal it's because
in the late eighties, they want a playoff series against
or they played a playoff series against Philly.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
They didn't win it.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
That was the Ken regged game set right, But they
won a couple of games in Philly in that round.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But it just blew me away last night.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
I mean, I know the Flyers haven't sold tickets for
years because they've been so bad for so long. They
play in front of ten thousand people, and they're always
having to do promotions online. They they buy two for one,
there's sweet tickets for ten bucks. It's like, you know,
they're they're begging to get people in the building. I'm thinking, boy,
times have changed, because back in the seventies it was
(22:34):
like going into rushing a single handed you know. Yeah
one on seventeen thousand.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But I was surprised at the amount of Penguin's jerseys
and I was mistaking to myself.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Man, those are ballsy fans.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
Well, there's nobody there anymore for Philly. Well, there's enough
people there. It's not like going to an Eagle game.
It's not even close. They're just everybody's sitting three rows
apart and get your feet up and hey, what's going
on down there?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I will tell you the the worst fights I've ever
witnessed at a sporting event have been at the Igloo
during Penguins Flyers games. The Iglu there were yeah, this
new one, it's a little too fancy. People are paying
too much for their seats. But like I remember going
on the smoking deck during those games, and it was
(23:20):
like it was like going out to watch you know, MMA,
Like okay, like you know, morons mauling each other.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Uh, it would be immediate f you.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
If you have a ban bang bang wam, just it
would be that quick and they would break up a
fight and you'd be like, wow, that one was and
another one would start and that would be like in
between periods and during the game there's people jawing at
each other. I'm just like, this has to be I've
been I had been to many Yankees Red Sox games
where I always thought, well, this is the most heated
(23:54):
rivalry in sports.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I think there was a time there in the nineties
going over into the Oughts where that Stealer or that
Penguins Flyers rivalry. The amount of violence that was occurring
in theme amongst the fans had to be as much
has occurred in any other rivalry. It's truly one of
the last great rivalries sports, and I'm glad it's heating
up again. And they kind of roughed up Tindall last night,
(24:19):
which is great because he can learn the hatred. Yeah
as a young man.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Yeah, you know, I love how the young guys hate
them too now, because that's the thing. No one hates
them like Sid and Genus. I was just gonna SEEO
hate them like we do.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I was gonna say, do you think that Sid's hatred
of them, which is open and it's rare for him
It almost is like exposing the weakness for him to
talk about how much he hates them, but that's how
much he hates them.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Do you think that bleeds.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Over to those younger guys to help make them understand,
because I'm not sure if that's something that he preaches
to them, like FYI, this is the enemy. Yeah, but
then you see what like Ziegris, did you know, you
see what those guys do, and it's like, yeah, they're
jag offs.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Yeah, it's easy to hate them. Yeah, they're definitely easy
to hate. Like quality quality went last night?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Uh and Jarry Good in net again?
Speaker 9 (25:05):
Yeah, or Joe. I've seen some uh chatter online that
Edmonton might be interested.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah, I mean that was a should you should.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
You carry him halfway to Edmonton and I'll take him
the rest of the way.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
You know, it's a lot of money, Mike. I don't
want to tank. I don't He's the hot hand. If anything,
she left down, if he clears, he doesn't clear, bring mirror,
shove up. We're in a playoff spot. We're gonna playoff
spot in the mark American Thanksgiving. Let's go, let's get
let's let's stay in the race, Let's get out from
under and stay in the race anyway. Well, well, then
Mishaw is gonna come up and play every game because
(25:40):
she loves Okay. Can't stop a beach can't stop a
beach ball. I've seen the Jarry thing before. I'd like
to not say it anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, I'm with you, like, take advantage of him having
a hot streak.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, and hey, yeah she looks hot again.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But if you really need him.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah, But Mike, they're saying like we would take back
Skinner and Walman.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I don't want neither.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Of those guys. Who's the take wehying dumb Skinner. No
one want Skinner. Just take him and cut him.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Do what you gotta do to get Jerry out of
town to young Russian be the goldender. I look at
all the other tenth rookie last night playing McGroarty.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Make it all rookies. Why not?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah, I think they're still gonna be a market for
Jari in a couple of months.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Callingy win for your Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Last'll be here in uh late March, after Michigan chokes
in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, I mean you know, I mean it's it's funny
how Brazo's coming back and then and Raquel's coming back.
Where are these guys gonna I mean, obviously Raquel's gonna
find a spot Bras. What's gonna happen to Timmy Novak?
He's playing some pretty good hockey. We need to keep uh.
I always gonna call him Obama, Imama boku in the.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Lineup I heard driving up. Yeah, I was impressed. Yeah
I did. I beg, I beg. You know, he went
to the neuthart a couple of times. He didn't finish it,
but he hit the pipe. He could play a little hawk.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
It was one of the most disappointing things of the
preseason was how he just did not play good. I
kind of thought he had a spot on the team
if he played well. I thought comfortables year. He had
so much more to Jonas coping in. I mean, give
me a break, he's coping in do I'm sorry I
picked on two segments right now. No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I don't hate him. I just just bring something to
you know, said the kid with two goals last night.
Just missus the hatcher.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Him in the Jarry deal to Edmonton coping.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, you know, we have a bunch of kids. We'll
give you jar and we'll give you coping deal. I mean,
Hollander before the blood blub played good. I like that, bros. Kid.
We actually have a bunch of talent right now. It
goes and you know what, Eric Carlson has played great. Yeah, yeah,
I mean for about two games he's played great.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
But he had that had to be something between him
and Sullivan because you know the quote he gave about
Sullivan leaving and all of a sudden he's not being
asked to do things he can't do.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
That was pretty telling. In Watherspoon and Shaye, are you
kidding me? If you could have told me those guys
would be stalwarts on our blue line. I mean, everything
has come together, and you gotta praise Dubis. You gotta
praise Dan Muse. Damn Muse got the bet in most
of these guys.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Joe Bartner canging out with us this morning pends with
a nice win in Philadelphia when the Lord's work five
to one as he calls it, and we'll talk with
Gene's terotor next hour.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Boy, bad weekend for the Zebras.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Wow, that was a rough one man from pro to
College one.
Speaker 9 (28:33):
Of the al timers trump even getting the rules wrong,
like the yeah, the protocol enforcement of the game. If
they're reffing that up, not just oh that was past interference,
that wasn't past.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right, No, they are adjudicating incorrectly. Yes, Charlie Batch and
Billy Gardell for an hour in the nine o'clock Our Abby,
you'll have your news coming up at the top.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Now that we're officially in December, I've got all the
things coming up this month that we can look forward to,
plus the Super Bowl sixty.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Pre game festivities are set.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Game day bar of the week for bud Light, the
winn Haven and Cranberry this NFL season, stopping the win
Haven and grabbed two seventy five but Light bottles during
Steelers games. Bud Light easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
A streaming at DV dot com, here on the iHeartRadio
app and all.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Your smart devices. This is one O two point five
DV E.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
If you can't get enough. If you're Pittsburgh, it's the
DV Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Our buddy Joe Bartnec hanging out with us live in
the studio, fresh off a weekend of you were doing
comedy all over the place, you're in Philadelphia, You were
in Massachusetts or Providence where they hell were?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Yes, Philadelphia, Ben Salem and Providence was just an incredible
Italian dinner and it was showing that's the only kind
of dinner in Providence. It's all Italians. Yeah, it was.
It was incredible pizza. And then they said the raviolis.
You know, my grandmother just you know, make homemade ravioli.
So they were good. They were they were a restaurants.
Did you get a Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Though?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I did in Philly? Okay.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
It's like forty five Flyer fans, which was great. They
were kind of leaving me and I missed this big
picture they were all gonna take.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I was relaxing.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, and they're like, oh, were you leave it to
a Penguin fan to be sleeping.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
I'm like, I was resting on all my Stanley cumps.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Stick it to him. Yeah, Penguin stuck it to him
last night.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
A segment we like to do on Tuesday's misstackles some
stories from around the league that we didn't necessarily get to.
I have to tell you most of them revolve around
the Steelers, but we'll start with the Browns. The Browns
and the forty nine Ers game was pretty contentious. I'm
not sure if you saw that, but defensive tackle Shelby
Harris after the game was talking about forty nine Ers
(30:40):
receiver Jwan Jennings, who is a well known bleepster, and
he was none too happy with some of his antics
during the game.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
He's a hole.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
I'll love that known.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Like, I see why he got pushing the nuts, because
that's like he says some things that you should not
say to another man ever. But I don't respect it
because you say that I didn't run behind your old line.
That's some real salt, and I want that know. I
see exactly why they punched the nuts. I'm surprised nobody
punched him into Joliet.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
He's oh, and I want that known.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
It's such a hilarious sound by He's a hoe and I.
Speaker 11 (31:11):
Want that known.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
I love that he's a hoe.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Is making a resurgence.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, it's twice this week.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I mean with the Lane Kiffin uh situation down at
Old Miss one of the student reporters down there quoted
Ludacris in calling him a hoe. And he's not a housewife.
He's a house I make a whole housewife. Yeah, so
hoe's having a big week word bring it back?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Not since Velvet Jones on Saturday Night Live in the
early eighties have we heard the word ho so much.
Lane Kiffin is a hoe though, Oh man is he ever?
Coward went off on Lane Kiffin yesterday on the Dan
Patrick Show.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
He also weighed in on the fire Mike Tomlin chance.
Now we talked about this a little bit yesterday. There's
some revisionist history as it pertains to Steelers fans remembering
what it was really like with coach Cower those last years.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
A few years running up to that Super Bowl win
in Detroit. This town wanted him gone.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It was not quite what Mike Tomlin is getting right
now because social media wasn't as prevalent.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
But the.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Cries for fire Cower, while maybe not organized in stadium
like they were for Tomlin, they were there. But Randy
our cry against Calor was he was over five in
championship game. He can't win a playoff game in a decade.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Here he was talking about those like.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
I said, they're very passionate fans. I know one thing.
He's not gonna let the outside noise influence or how
he's going to change his approach to this next game.
He knows it's a lot on stake. They're not playing
great football right now. He's got to find a way
to rally that group and get them to believe that
they still have a chance to win this division.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Did you get fire chance when you were there in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 11 (33:02):
I alder, I got a fire chance.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
But I think that I was.
Speaker 11 (33:05):
You know, there was some people that when you when
you had a losing year, and you walk past them,
people start to whisper before they say, hey, coach, great
to see him. When they start, when they start whispering, Dan,
you know, it's probably not.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
A good thing.
Speaker 11 (33:19):
So when you walk by and people are whispering, that's
probably a good sign if things are not going that well.
When they walk by and it's going well, they're going,
hey coach, great job, good luck. Hey love what you're doing.
Hey you might want to throw the ball a little
bit more. Okay, gotcha. You know you're right on. So
I got to the point. Actually, I said, you know,
my point is when we won, I had no problems
(33:40):
stopping the way home from gas. You're getting gas. When
we lost, I waited tilt.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
The night was dark.
Speaker 11 (33:46):
I ten thirty eleven, I was, and I didn't want
to hear about it. Honestly, in the morning on the
way to work, Like you know, I didn't want to
hear about it was because they would Everybody would pull
up right next to me. They would be act like
they're pulling up their their their gas tank was absolutely
fully put the nozzle. They would stand there in front
of their cars to tell me everything that I should
be doing. We're not run the football enough, You're too conservative,
(34:09):
nobody's rushing the quarterback, and like you need to make
some changes on that team, and even with their coaching staff.
Now that we go yes, yes, yes, and yes, you're
probably right, I need to reevaluate.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I will say he's often talked about the gas station
encounters here in Pittsburgh. Cower always talked about that because
that's where he would hear an earful from from Steelers fans.
But I think that Mike Tomlin has been wise to
follow coach Coward's lead in this regard. Agree with the fans. Oh,
they're calling for me to be fired. I share their frustration.
(34:40):
Like you, you can't say like f them or I'm
going to prove them wrong, you just have to say yeah, no, look,
I get it, I understand it now. When James Harrison
had this to say yesterday, this really went viral, and
with good reason. Anybody who's been paying attention knows James
Harrison and Mike Tomlin there is no love loss between them,
so I would say take some of these comments with
(35:01):
a grain of salt. However, James Harrison has been calling
for a regime change for a long time for the Steelers, and.
Speaker 12 (35:09):
As much as I hate to say this, I had
never been a person that thought coach Tomlin was a
great coach.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
I thought he was a good coach, and I'll be honest.
Speaker 12 (35:23):
Part of that is because when I was slated to
be the starter when Joey left, he drafted one and
two outside linebackers and I was actually behind one of
them for a minute. Okay, but right now, we have
coaches on this staff and that's it. And when I
(35:45):
say coaches, I'm saying this as a coach is someone
that tells you what to do and it doesn't matter
if what they're telling you to do is right or wrong.
That's what a coach does. Have coaches. Okay, a good
coach gets you to play to your potential. And right now,
(36:10):
the players we have on that.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Team I have seen play.
Speaker 12 (36:15):
I know they can do it. I have seen them
do it, and they're not playing up to their potential.
And a great coach, a great coach, a great coach,
gets you to play beyond your potential.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I don't think you can play beyond your potential. I
think you can play up to your potential, but beyond
your potential, I don't know. James goes on for a
couple of minutes there and basically just excoriates Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
He's no fan for the people who think that.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
When Steeler fans are chanting fire Mike Tomlin, that there's
some indication that it's going to happen mid season. In
a million years, that would never happen. That is never
going to happened for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin.
But I think he is coaching for his job right now.
I don't know if he wants to keep it, you know.
Diana Rassini was saying yesterday that when you talk to
(37:14):
coach Tomlin, he looks tired, that his passion for the
game is not escaped, but he is a very tired person,
worn out, maybe just burnt out.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
It's kind of sounded like my mom talking to me
on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
You're tired.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
You look tired. Now you have passion, I get it,
but you look tired.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I don't know if Mike Tomlin's gonna use it as
an excuse at the end of the season to say, Hey,
I need to check myself and go spend some time
with the family and I'm burnt out on this. I
don't think that's him. I really don't. There are people
speculating that that will be the course that he, you know,
pushes forward with. I think he wants to win with
(37:57):
this team and believes he still can. They screwed up
so much in the preseason, though, in the construction of
this team that I'm not sure he can get out
from behind that eight ball has.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Part of the criticism, though, been with Tomlin that he's
trying to control too much.
Speaker 13 (38:13):
Well, yeah, yeah, definitely, so that we could be part
of the burnout though, yeah, right, no question, you're kind
of not delegating in a way, You're not letting everyone
do their job, so you're over controlling the outcome.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Essentially, yeah, and you're out of options not realizing.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
Am I the drama?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Hi, I'm the problem coach, It's me.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
But yeah, he would be better suited to have two
coordinators that he left completely autonomous and like, you guys,
do what you do. I will make the in game
calls like that might help him. He's just not that
kind of guy. He's not He wants to have his
stamp on things. And I think that defensively, you know.
I know what Mike was saying yesterday about the fact
(38:58):
that the Bills were doing things the exact same over
and over and they couldn't stop it. But when you
look at some of the tape and some of the
pictures that were still shots from the all twenty two
that were put out on social media yesterday.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
It's like, what were they doing?
Speaker 5 (39:11):
What were some of those defensive formations that they were
lining up against the Bills with When they were still
just running that same play with James Cook start left
and then roll around the right side, it looks like AI,
it was just pee wee football, just people just running
over the Steelers, and that's what makes everybody in this
town sick.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I remember in the sixties, I wasn't a rabbit.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
My dad would say the Steelers would always lose in
the sixties, but people would say, yeah, you might beat
the Steelers, but you're gonna lose the next week. Like, yeah,
we always had a tough defense and to get run
on that just hurts our soul.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
I mean, they spent ten million dollars on Darius Slay
and he was a healthy scratch last week. They screwed
up in the construction of this team in a big,
big way.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
Just as I was saying, how like for a few
years we didn't really have a backup goaltender and that
was a derelict of duty.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
They don't have a number two receiver. Oh no, how
do you?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
I mean, just the fact that we can't throw the
ball more than ten yards because we don't have anyone
that can run ten yards to catch a pass again,
is like, how are you going to win in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
This is not like Division three football. Now, you're one
hundred percent right. They've they've completely screwed up in the
construction of this team. And when you look back at
some of the decisions they make, and also they missed
on a couple of the big name guys, Patrick Queen
is not exactly panning out to be the Mike Singletary
that they were hoping him to be, or should I
say more like James Ferrier, that just ain't happening.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
All right, Michael joined us.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
We'll have more on the Penguins big win in Philadelphia
last night, and I look ahead at what's going to
be a tumultuous week for the Pittsburgh Steelers getting ready
for the Ravens Sunday.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
At one o'clock.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
First place in the division is on the line for
the Steelers team that booed Renegade this past Sunday.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
And it is frightful weather out there this morning, Abbey.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
Yeah, it really is, so please be careful.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
Remember the speed on most of the highways is reduced
to about forty five miles per hour, so please be safe.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
But snow and flurries this morning is slippy.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
We got Charlie Batch, Jean's Terator, and Billy Gardell on
the way DVE.
Speaker 10 (41:17):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Callie Ante Pizza and Draft Holes, three
time world pizza champions, and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it
direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.
Here's Tom Opferman.
Speaker 14 (41:30):
The Buffalo Bills brought the NFL's number one rushing offense
to Pittsburgh Sunday, and that rushing offense dominated the game
as a guided the Bills to their twenty six to
seven victory over the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
James Cook led the way.
Speaker 14 (41:40):
For Buffalo on the ground, gaining one hundred and forty
four yards on thirty two carries, his NFL leading seventh
game rushing over one hundred yards this year. The Bills
improved to six and one in games where Cook eclipses
the century mark. It wasn't just James Cook, as Ray
Davis and Josh Allen added sixty two and thirty eight
rushing yards respectively to rack up a total of two
hundred and forty nine yards on fifty one carries for Buffalo.
(42:02):
Two hundred and forty nine yards is the most rushing
yards gained against the Steelers at Akrosher Stadium and the
most overall in Pittsburgh since nineteen seventy five. Went funny enough,
the Buffalo Bills ran for three hundred and ten yards
at three Rivers Stadium. Offensively, things didn't go any better
for Steelers either. They were able to generate only fifty
eight yards rushing on one of the league's worst run
defenses heading into the game, and only gained one hundred
(42:24):
and sixty six yards of total offense with just eighteen
minutes time of possession. The loss dropped the Steelers to
six and six, same as the Baltimore Ravens, who they
played this Sunday at M and T Bank Stadium in Baltimore,
with the winner taking control of the AFC North Division.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
