An iHeartRadio station guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Human seems like this storm total could be one to
three inches. Snow can make the roads slippery, and we're
seeing a lot of accidents this morning and also a
lot of delays turning into school closures, so a lot
of travel disruptions this morning.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
It's going to be a high of thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
And also we mentioned this and the last hour, it
sounds like on the highways it's going to be a
speed limit of forty five.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Degrees or forty five degrees forty five miles per hour.
So please be safe out there.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
As a man, I really can't judge inches. I always
think there's more.

Speaker 5 (00:42):
Inches than Yeah, no, I hear there is.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It seems like there's way more than one inch.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
We can argue about it, and I will Brandy Bellman
and the DVE Morning Show. Look, it's not the size
of the snow drift. That's how you plow it. Okay, okay,
but be careful out there, folks, for real. On the
way for you. Charlie Batch, who loves snow, did shee?
He got up at four o'clock in the morning and

(01:08):
went out into his yard and did snow angels and
had his wife get out and film because he loves
the snow that much. Charlie Batch is part Bernie's mountain Dog.
That's the only conclusion I can draw here.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Who loves snowmore Charlie Batcher, Jameis Winston.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Charlie Batch. Charlie Batch loves snow more than anybody, more
than Santa.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
I mean, his wife deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Murdering
him in the snow like Fargo, just throw him into
the chipper. Imagine you're signific Another going, wait, hey, can
you come a film making a snow angel at.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Four in the morning in the morning, Yeah, that would
be yeah, nfw.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
There are some people who like to get up at
four in the morning just so they have time for
their own golden hour, have a coffee.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Yeah, that's right, read you know, but then you have
to end your day at like eight pm. It's not
worth it to me. I'm on night person, night person.
As soon as I get two days off, I turn
into night and I stay up till two o'clock in
the morning or later.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, I mean four to me at night. Yeah, it's
not the morning, not the morning. Yeah, for his nighttime.
But those people you know that's become a lot big craze. Remember,
like everyone's getting up earlier than everybody else. Like I
get up at three am and work out before I
go to the set, and you know, I pray for
an hour to a bench press and.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Then I'm you know, marky Mark and all those.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yeah, there's no way I could do that, No way
at all. I can get him come here. And that's
about the extent of it. Right in six is not.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I mean, he's getting up at like three thirty four,
which is what time you go into bed.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Dude.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
This is what I'm trying to say to you, is
that these people are like at six o'clock in the evening,
they're like winding it down to go to bed. I
think you're missing a big part of the day there.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
But you said that Brian Johnson, guy that don't die guy.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah, every time I hear Brian Johnson, I think, is
Brian Johnson.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Exactly me too. I'm hoping I can remember the dude's name.
I'm rooting for a CDC's Brian Johnson to outlive the
multi verse guy who thinks he's gonna live forever.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I hope he does, just out of spite.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
But this guy has been always obsessed Joe with you know,
having like this unbelievably healthy routine and eating clean and
aging backwards and to the point of just you know,
we would punch the student.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
We would, we would hate him.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
He's intolerable, like, you know, the the kind of regimen
that he had to like pack suitcases just to kind
of keep up with it when he would travel.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, but he did a huge dose of shrooms.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, he's done a couple of them now.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
And it changed how he thought about everything because he
realized after it resets some neural pathways that he was
wasting a lot of time in his life trying not
to die.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Yeah, because you're gonna die.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
That was a waste of time that he wasn't actually living.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, Like, have a couple of beers, dude, No one
gets out of this alive. Relax, Fry up a potato
to have a dorito, or you can't just have one.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I'll tell you something.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I found out this holiday season. Peanut butter oreos what.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
What they are?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Even better?

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
I have fired up. They're better than you even think
they're gonna be. They think, oh, peanut butter and oreo
it's gonna be good, incredible, and you don't get screwed
on the bag.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
The bag was filled.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Okay, So we were eating Reesy cups that had oreos,
which were great Halloween.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
So the combo is blessed.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Yeah, they were awesome. But what is the peanut butter
oreo instead of the white stuff? Uh huh, there's peanut butters,
peanut butter.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh, same for me.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
But wait a minute, Hold on a second, it's all
peanut butter. No, no, it's the same black cookie chocolate cookie.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
But I'm saying it's like it's like not a combination
of the cream in the peanut butter, it's just peanut
butter inside that.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Oh but it's a very tasty, creamy peanut butter. I'm
not going to say it's Reeses, but you know how
like chess, like a tasty it's like a whipped sugary peanuts.
A better peanut butter than the peanut butter. Yeah, it's incredible.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
I'll go for it.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Knowing what we know, though, I kind of want them
to do with the peanut butter and whatever the cream
filling is. Do them both, because we know what it
can be done with the Race's Combo.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
It's a lot. Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yeah, uh you know what. And speaking of doing a lot,
you know our buddy Rob James from the Clarks, he
decided he wanted to do a lot and pulled together
as many musicians as he could to help feed the Berg.
I wanted to tell you about this before we got
started on the segment. Mister Small's is going to be
the place for a benefit concert for the Rainbow Kitchen
this holiday season on December nineteenth. Rob James has put

(06:00):
this all together to feed the burg. It's an all
ages show. It's gonna have Djogershecky Bill, Deezy Gene, the Werewolf, Abby,
your band, Tiny Warris is going to be there. Clinton
Claig of the common Heart, Kelsey Barber from or Kelsey
Friday from Brownie, Mary Sun King Warriors, Jim Donovan Sunking
Warriors are gonna be there, Liz Berlin and Jen Wurtz.

(06:21):
That's a whole lot of rusted route between those three bands.
Andre Costello, Chad Vincent, Addie Twigg and Celedonia. It's going
to be an awesome show. Morgan Reno will be there too.
Deep Bowman, Well, we're gonna be the house band for
the last half of the show. You can get your

dot com. And all of the musicians are donating all

(06:44):
of their time and performances to help out the Rainbow
Kitchen this holiday season. Once again. That's Feed the Burg Friday,
December nineteenth at mister Small's.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
This hour is brought to you by Window Nation. Snow
and flurries this morning up to an inch of accumulation
about one to three in the storm total. Otherwise it's
going to be cloudy. Expect travel disruptions and slippery roads
this morning. Douce speeds to forty five miles per hours
on most highways. It's a high of thirty seven today.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
All right, So from the trip.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
One of the most expensive development projects in modern Pittsburgh history,
the seven one hundred and forty million dollar Esplanade on
the North Side, took a definitive step forward on Monday
with the groundbreaking ceremony that drew Pennsylvania's governor and generated
accolades for its intent to revitalize a long stagnant brown Field.
Esplanade is set to include a one hundred and twenty

(07:32):
six unit condominium complex, a thirteen story hotel, and a
mixed income apartment tower. The new development will be punctuated
by a two hundred.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Foot tall Ferris Wheel.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Project includes green space, a marina, a winter garden, an
incubator for local entrepreneurs, entertainment areas, a space for pop
up events.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
It's going to do everything.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
I am does sound like a stefan event that is
happening everything.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Hopefully public restrooms too.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Right, Yeah, I was gonna say that Ferris Wheel will
give you a great view of the people pooping on
the river trail. Yeah, well, that's what happens with stuff
like this, right. There is a Johnny Sack involved. But
I'm glad they're doing the mixed income housing there because
you can't just do a gentrification thing and ignore the actual,
uh you know, the people that live there, you know,

(08:29):
and the reality of those neighborhoods. The Ferris Wheel, I
still think is super tacky. I don't know why they're
doing that part of it, But the question is will
gentrification happen in that area? You know, it happened in
other traditionally lower income areas on the east end of town.
Will it'll be as successful on that North Shore side.

(08:53):
I don't know, I have no idea. I know that
there's mixed emotions in the north community there about that happening.
It's great for you know, the amount of money that's
being thrown into the region there on one hand, but
you know, there are those people who side with the
more historical aspects of the community there and want to
preserve what it always has been and fix what's there

(09:15):
instead of building this whole new thing that just looks
very twenty twenty five instead of or twenty twenty six,
instead of restoring the beautiful neighborhood that's already there.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yes, as someone who's been gentrified out of a few neighborhoods,
they're never the same and it kind of stinks. And
that's one of the best things about Pittsburgh is it's
still Pittsburgh. It hasn't been gentrified out well.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean, I think in East Liberty you've seen those
problems though that has happened, and there are communities that
have been displaced because of the you know, Walnut Capital
has just they continue to expand out there and doing
things to build on what they've been building, and they
just keep pushing the previously existing community a little bit

(10:01):
further out. And then that's the argument of like what
is actually better for the city. We have to make
room for those people too. It's you know, it's way
out of my pay grade, but it is something that
you need to balance.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
You lose the uniqueness though, of the mob we're talking
about the mom Past stores, right that's what makes my
like three different neighbors in San Francisco. I kind of
got pushed out because it's like, oh, I move in
and of a sudden, no, it's a safe place to live.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So then all the rich people move in.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
But it's like, then you lose all the momb Past stores,
you lose the restaurants all of a sudden, it's just
a chain, the Starbucks, it's the cvs, and what happens
to all the natural things that made that.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Part of the neighborhood's great.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
To be fair, there's nothing down there right now like
the place that they're talking about building this. There's just
not there's a lot of blight, so they they aren't
like tearing down mod pop stores to do this, but
very much like what you're seeing in the East End,
it is not it's gonna be cookie cutter and will
bougie things work in that part of the time, because

(11:01):
that's what it sounds like, that it's gonna be a
little boogie And I'm not sure that it will. I
don't know. We'll see they keep building. There's got to
be a reason. It has to be these.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
And a ferris wheel and things that you're going to
make it marking and being like I'm getting to bring
my kids down and I'm gonna do you know, a
bit of shopping.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
You know what they should have over there is a
high speed ferry that takes you from the Esplanade over
to like the theater district and drop you right there
on that stairwell that takes you up the Clemente Bridge.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Are you sure this is out of your pay grid.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
I've got ideas, I just don't know how to implement them.
But yeah, look, I'm also the guy who thought it
was a good idea to have a zip line from
Mount Washington to the point. So maybe I'm not the
person to ask.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Nobody said it wasn't it yet?

Speaker 5 (11:46):
But possibly it won't be shut down all upon?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
That's true, All right, Pearl jam have put their money
behind something that will get a lot of use this
winter a zimboe machine. The Pearl Jam Jamboni is jamboni.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's being used this season by Two Harbors, Minnesota's Youth
Hockey Association. The association was in search of a local
business to sponsor its new zamboni when it's board members
decided on.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
A whim to reach out to Pearl Jam.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
So executive dresser Jesse Lungren, a member of the band's
official fan club, wrote a note in the style of
a concert poster asking if they would sponsor the zamboni,
and he got an email two weeks later from a
band rep who was a hockey fan from Canada and
said yes. So we don't know how much the band donated,
but it was a sizeable amount. It covers the jamboni

(12:45):
for the next three years. And Pearl Jam designed its
own art for the jamboni, which is black with the
band's name on the side, a PJ in the school's
colors and it's got hockey sticks crossed behind it.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
So that's cool. It hit up all this Seattle bands.
I'll see if they can help out. Can build the
Alison chains Man in the box for the penalty boxes.
That's very cool. I mean that seems very on brand
for Eddie and the boys, Like something I want to

(13:18):
do and then have Eddie come out. You know, when
I was younger, I was dreamed of having a jam BONI.
Every time he tells stories, it makes me laugh. You know,
Still City Saturday Deck. So good to be here. He's
got like he sounds like Tony Bennett telling a story.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
What's I don't know?

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Someone thanks man lit flimmy.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
All right.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Jordan Hudson, the twenty four year old girlfriend of seventy
three year old future Hall of Fame NFL coach and
of course current North Carolina coach Bill Belichick, loves attention.
Of course we know that any attention for her is
good attention. If she follows through though on her latest
clim she's going to be getting a lot more than
she will ever have bargained for. It sounds like she

(14:05):
is going to sue Pablo Torre, who of course has
the podcast Pablo Tory finds out and she is going
to be doing so saying that basically he had that
whole story about her getting banned from the North Carolina
football facility. Uh, and she is saying that that is
a potential defamation claim, okay, which I don't know if

(14:28):
she's gonna win that one. It's potentially going to open
a Pandora's box because she is a public figure.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
She would have to prove actual malice.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
With that, and that could open up a pretty lengthy
discovery process. But she's claiming that she's going to go
through with it.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
I would to ask a question and maybe take her
side on something. Everyone can say she's a gold digger,
which she probably is, But is it like this old
man thing like that? Could that be a kink you like,
there's chubby chasers?

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah stuff. Are you hoping.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
I'm too young for her? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:09):
I st of does have that kind of money.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, I mean I think that's the King Joe is
the money part.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
I think it's okay. I'm like yeah, because I mean
he's really old. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
But so dude, even if she was really in love
with him, it does not preclude her from being judged
on the way that she is trying to steer his
career and infiltrate his professional goings on for her own benefit.
That's a story. If she's the same age as Bill Belichick.
The idea that she is steering the direction of the

(15:42):
program in any way, shape or form, in any facet
if she was the same age's But it's like she'd
be like at the Early Bird Special, she would look
a lot weirder in the yoga pants. I admit, Yeah,
they might kill her. Yeah, she wouldn't care what he
did at work. Just got that bothered me. But pabulatory,

(16:02):
there's no way that he has left himself open to
be like, he's way too smart to do anything that
would put himself in legal jeopardy.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Most of the.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Clips that I see from his show, I'm not an
avid listener to the podcast, but I see what he
posts online whenever they're doing like video recaps, and he
usually has screenshots and receipts whenever he's posting things like this.
Now she, on the other hand, I started following her
on Twitter because I don't know. Now I'm watching the
train Wreck. When she gets negative coverage, she retweets it,

(16:36):
so she's full on history on it at this point
where it's just any attention that she's given.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
She is into it, and so that is also a king. Yeah,
like that's it just kind of is all over.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
It's kind of a power move too, to like retweet
the hate.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh yeah, she's embracing all of it, so she's she's
taking control of it, which also might be Bill's kink.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
I just can't believe he's allowed this all to happen.
It has completely inexorably altered his legacy, and I don't
think he ever thought that was going to be the case.
Those pictures of him watching her at an adult cheerleading competition,
sitting on bleachers looking absolutely miserable. It had to be
going through his head. I am way too old to

(17:23):
be doing this just to get laid with somebody fifty
years younger than me, And what a gross look that
is for him and his family.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
I wonder, though, you.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
Think he's narcissistic enough to be like, I don't care,
this is worth it.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
I wonder if his kink is getting dumbed.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Oh, I got you. He's getting off on being led
around by the nose in public. I like to be shamed.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
With this dirty hoodie. Yeah, holes in it.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
He's got a leather hoodie. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
I like to be a sub in the body of
a sting ray.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, snow and flourries this morning up to it into accumulation.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Please be safe on the roads.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
His torso does have mollusk like qualities, doesn't it. It's
just it's like it's like weird.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
He's built.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
He's built like uh, the who's oh mankind?

Speaker 7 (18:22):
You know?

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Yes? Yeah, well he's got much bigger breasts than than
Mick Foley though, I mean Bill Belichick has a solid
sea cop right now. Sure, it's crazy kind of coomassity
is a real thing.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Just keeps.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Is that the big word for man boobs?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, thank you for I learned something every day?

Speaker 5 (18:38):
Yeah, show this shows you learned and anything.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean medical and compassionate.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
We aim to inform. That's why Mike's coming in here.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Next.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Also snow Dog Charlie Batch before Billy Gardell takes over
in the nine o'clock hour, and.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Music that's time and tested and listener approved.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
Hey, I'm to join the music. Your requests are on
the Electric Launch at noon with Michelle Michaels on DVE.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service,
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Tax Come Sports Surf brought team Bye Bridgeville Appliance five
to one Penguins over the Flyers last night in Philadelphia.
The Penguins bouncing back from a bad Saturday night in
Toronto and the Stars continue to shine. Two more goals
for Sidney Crosby. He's got eighteen on the season. That's

(19:28):
eighteen and twenty five games. Crosby was also plus two,
which got him back to even for the season. Last
year he had thirty three goals in eighty games and
was minus minus twenty. This is much better. Yes, Two
more assists for getting Malkin. He's got twenty six points

(19:48):
in twenty five games and he's plus three. Last year
he had fifty points in sixty eight games's and he
was minus twenty four. Again, this is much better. Joey Bee,
what's got into these guys? A few things.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
One, we actually have some defenseman this year that they're
playing defense and we're making some saves.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
Making some saves is a big, big thing.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
But they're playing, but it's not all.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
We're playing a much more structured game, and there's been
very few two on ones three on two's. Guys are
getting back and you actually starts up front and you
can see Gino has been back checking.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Out a lot wouldn't you say it's it's it's fair
to say that under Sullivan that what he was asking
them to do required more structure, and yet they look
more structured doing something less structured.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
No, they're they're paying attention to structure. That My theory
is they are paying attention to structure. But with him,
they just stopped listening.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
Well, but but Carlson literally said he was asked being
asked to do things I don't couldn't do.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
I don't believe them. Okay, I don't think Sullivan was
going out to go ahead, give up three three all ones,
We don't care.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
I think Gino has a thing in his mind that
he is leaving on a good note, and he sees
this team they started out hot, and he sees his
team as a chance to make the playoffs and maybe
do some damage. He is playing playoff consistent, Geno, backchecking
and playing hard.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Do you think he wants to keep playing? I think
he does is good. Does he want to get another
one or two years?

Speaker 4 (21:26):
According to a report a couple of weeks ago, he
does not see him playing anywhere but with the Penguin. Yeah,
he'll only play here. He's playing like this and he
wants to play for five million bucks.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
I mean, why not? It's interesting. I mean I didn't
think it was a remote consideration going into the season.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
The only problem is is if mister Dubis, who's done
nothing but great work this year, but if you go up,
it gets my boy Gena, and I'm gonna think you
go sid You're gonna win Kindle, You're gonna want Horecroft, you.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Got, you got that, you got the guy's coming up too.
Gino's out the fourth line center. You wouldn't think.

Speaker 7 (22:01):
No.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Thirteen seven and five for the Penguins, thirty one points.
They are now the first wild card in the Eastern Confiene,
I saw the Carlson comments. I think Carlson didn't like
Sullivan and he's saying what he's saying for whatever reason
he's saying it. But Mike Sullivan was always a you know,
you can't score your way to the championship, and he

(22:26):
wanted structure and discipline and defense, and he instilled it
when he first got there, and they won with it,
and then they just gradually got further away from it
with each passing year.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
Could carlsonby's talking for other people though, and saying that
it was always push, push, pushing. Guys like Graves couldn't
push the puck.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
They didn't want the defense.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
And maybe it's like he's saying that, like, hey, we
you guys here. Last year they couldn't play like being
the tang, but Sullivan wanted them to. And this year
wis going to pick a spot, Shale pick a spot.
But they're not always constantly out of position.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well that's the key, right, You got to read the
play and understand when you can do it and when
you cannot do it. And maybe there was a disconnect
in the messaging. The guys thought that he wanted them
up all the time. I don't know any guy that
ever gets coached. Yeah, go ahead and pinch on a
fifty to fifty pund and if we give up a
two on one, we're okay.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
But they're not doing it nearly as much as it
they're not.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I think they're just making better decisions.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
And Mike, last segment, you were talking about now's the
time to ditch Jari. Yes, I'll tell you a guy
who come playoff time, come deadline, you might be able
to get underneath Graves contract. And he's playing pretty good
for a big defenseman to move it to deadline.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I'm not a tank guy, but I am a get
out from under bed contracts raves. You know, almost he's
playing pretty good this year, particularly when you have the
system now seems to be repopulated and you've got some options,
and if you can keep keep winning while you're doing
that and accelerate the change, that's what Tuba said he

(23:57):
wanted to do going in the last year was Yeah,
they wanted to compete, but they wanted to identify the
next wave that's gonna make the teammate true contender. And boy,
they got some guys in college that are tearing it up. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
We lead the league in NCA in points or goals
and assists.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
We have both of them. Thirty three to fifteen. Patriots
beat the Giants in Monday Night football last night. New
England is eleven and two and one and one of
them is a loss to Pittsburgh at home. Yeah. New
York Football Giants are two for two and eleven. Jackson
Dart's seventeen of twenty four but for just one hundred
and thirty nine yards. Drake May twenty four thirty one

(24:35):
two eighty two, two touchdowns, no interceptions.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Jackson Dart, making you think we should have taken Jackson Dart.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
I was a big Jackson Dart fan. I was hoping
they would take him, even suspecting that Rogers was coming,
because I didn't think it would be bad to have him.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
But you saw what the defense looks like without Derek Harmon. Yeah,
so I don't know. Maybe that was the more pressing need.
But Jackson Dart looks like he has the tools to
be a viable quarterback in league. Although I thought that
about Will Levis in his first year, so I felt
like he's making a lot of mistakes. But boy, he's
gonna be here.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Oh Cole, if the wheels come off for the Steelers,
won't be nearly as difficult to trade up to get
a quarterback. Great point. Maybe that was the whole genius
of getting Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
All along, Billy Gardell is going to join us in
the nine o'clock hour. We're gonna check in with the

Our next guest brought to you by Edgars Snyder and
associates local lawyers helping local people from the Steelers Audio network.
Post game show ladies and gentlemen. Snow No, I'm Charlie,
mad morning. How are you, Charlie? Did you really get

(27:06):
up at four o'clock in the morning to go make
snow angels and then make Tosh go out and actually
film you you you made her get out of bed too.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:14):
She almost slopped the heck out of me, for sure,
But either way, we got that video.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
I was just so excited.

Speaker 8 (27:19):
I was thinking, I was like a kid on Christmas,
you know, waking up and I saw the snow, and
I'm this is my favorite time of year.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Why do you love snow so much? I mean, I
grew up in the snow. I like snow. As well,
but it's it's just not like, no, I know you.
I mean, you love the snow. What do you take
vacations to go just like be ensconced in snow?

Speaker 8 (27:40):
Yeah, I don't necessarily take vacations to go to the snow,
but I think ultimately, you know, this is something that's
been in part of me, my entire life, and really
probably about ten or a few years ten or so
years ago, Tasha bought me this big snowblower and it
has heated handlebars, it kind of runs itself, and it
had the snow as much. So when I get an
opportunity to use it, that's where the excitement comes in.

(28:03):
So trust me, my neighbors are annoyed because I have
to wait to a certain time because I wasn't a
snowball at four am if I could, but I tried
to wait till six point thirty respectfully.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Well, speaking of blowing the Steelers defense past week and
let up more rushing yards than they had in fifty years,
and it was the most ever in Akroshuer Stadium since
they built the damn place. The Bills were not doing
anything special. They basically ran out of the same you

(28:33):
know formation and ran variations of the same play over
and over again, and we couldn't stop it. Why not, Charlie.

Speaker 8 (28:43):
They just they were getting beat up front on that
defensive line and it didn't matter what personnel group that
they were using. They started using a five man front,
but that defensive line was getting pushed back so far
that it impacted those linebackers from making plays. And when
you have a team on edge like the Bills did,
want to continue to run the exact same play. And
that's what we and Mike talked about on the post game,

(29:04):
and I said, it reminds me in our heyday whenever
we were able to line up run twenty two double.
You point out the safety and you tail hins Ward.
That's who you have the block, and you now spill
it out to the corner to force him to make
a tackle. And that's essentially what we saw throughout the
entire game, and that his issues, especially as we prepare
for Baltimore this week.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Charli, here's what I don't get. Some teams are bad
at run defense. So you're bad at run defense. How
could you be good at run defense against the Colts
and the Bears and historically awful against the Bills, and.

Speaker 8 (29:38):
I think again that's tough because you obviously elements play
a factor of it. They really were putting in one
of Daniel Jones when they played the Colts to make
them one dimension, them taking that passing game at the
running game away and forcing them to beat you with
the throw. But ultimately in Buffalo it just said our
offensive line is better than yours defensive line. And that's
essentially what you saw, and I think was more alarm

(30:00):
is the fact they were missing her two starting to
tackles and for them to rush in that particular matter.
That's what it becomes frustrated because at this point of
the season, I don't see how it gets any better
because this is essentially the same defense that you had
last year when we saw the Baltimore Ravens rush for
two hundred and ninety nine yards and again we addressed
it with the first round pick Derek Harmon. He's not

(30:22):
here this week, So again, how do we get better?
And this is going to be one of those things
that we're roll going to continue to shake our heads
because twelve weeks in the season, they have not proven
that they can stop the run.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
What is the bigger problem for Aaron Rodgers right now,
the receivers not getting open, him not seeing the open receivers,
or the receivers not understanding and processing when he changes
up the play at the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 8 (30:47):
Yeah, it's a lot and right now they're not scheming
to get those receivers open. It's essentially what you see
is what you get that secondary. They're not threatened because
you're not taking those shots down the field. Aaron's trying
to now manipulate that the line of scrudge and say, hey,
you run this route to try to take advantage of
some of those creases in the defense. And when you're
not doing it consistently and you're not now putting that

(31:09):
pressure on the defense, nobody's going to be threatened.

Speaker 7 (31:11):
And that's exactly what you're seeing here. Now.

Speaker 8 (31:13):
The issue with Aaron Rodgers, he's not gonna sit in
there right now and standing there as long as possible
to take the hit to now try to take that
shot down the field because he has a risk to protect.
So he's he's going to do everything in this power
to get rid of that football.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
So again, it's just tough.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
Do you think any of his postgame comments ruffled feathers.

Speaker 8 (31:35):
I think it did, but he probably would just speaking
the truth and this is what happens when you don't win.
And one of the one of the things that really
caught my attention was when he started talking about practicing better.
We need to do things better Monday through Saturday. So
I'm thinking to myself, who are you now sending a
message to through the media. Who's now practicing I don't know,

(31:57):
but again, to make that comment at this particular point
of the season, and he's talking to somebody, we just
don't know who it is.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
The fire coach Tomlin chance the booing of renegade. This
seems to be an all time low for the fan
response in the Tomlin era. Expectation has been super high
for these teams, and he's the one setting those expectations.
In no way, shape or formed what I think the
Steelers would ever get rid of coach Tomlin in the

(32:25):
middle of a season. I am starting to think he
might be coaching for his job at this point now,
because I'm not sure that they can trot this out
again and have Steeler fans buy into it one more time.

Speaker 8 (32:40):
It's tough when you get to that particular point, especially,
you know, at the end of last season people want
to changes. He said there was going to be changes made,
and essentially there was no changes made.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
So when you come.

Speaker 8 (32:50):
Into this particular season, all seasons if you're part of
Steelers Nation, are with hopes of hoisting that Lombardi Trophy.
And he gave everybody the expectations and the hopes that
this team was going to be better than what it is.
And what we're seeing right now is the frustrations. And
this is my first time in my twenty four years
around the Steelers that.

Speaker 7 (33:08):
I've heard this crowd literally say fire the coach but
also bloing renegade.

Speaker 8 (33:13):
And I know we talked about you know, you all
probably talked about this many times over, but man, these
fans are frustrated in many different capacities and I just
don't know where it goes from here. When you talk
about being the leader, this is your chance to prove
that you can change that narrative. So this is going
to be a tough task to convince Steelers Nation that
he is.

Speaker 7 (33:33):
That guy moving forward. He has to get it done
this week.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
What's their best hope to beat the Ravens on Sunday?

Speaker 7 (33:40):
Well, stopping a.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
Run and literally when you get to that point and
just looking at that time of possession, this defense is highed.

Speaker 7 (33:49):
There's no question about it.

Speaker 8 (33:50):
Offensively, they're going to have to give a defense a
rest by that time controlling that time of possession.

Speaker 7 (33:56):
But if they don't, man.

Speaker 8 (33:57):
You know Baltimore's formula for six, they're going to run
the football. And when you have a glaring weakness like
you see, this is going to be something that they
try to take advantage of because every other team has
taken advantage of it. So we're going to see a
heavy dose of Derreck Henry. We don't know how healthy
Lamar Jackson is going to be, but either way, that
run defense of the Steelers need to fix it in

(34:19):
a hurry. But again, they can't go from outside the
building to bring someone in.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
They have to do it internally. So somebody's gonna have
to step up.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
Charlie, busy time of year for all you guys at
the Batch Foundation. What's the latest.

Speaker 8 (34:30):
Yes, we are in the middle of our holidays season
as we are adopting four hundred families this season and
this is over eighteen hundred kids, so we are in
the process of collecting unwrapped toys and then from there
we wrap them and deliver them the week of Christmas.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
So we are super excited about that.

Speaker 8 (34:46):
So for anybody who wants to be a part of
it and sponsor a family, they can go to Batchfoundation
dot org. There are many drop off site locations around
the city that you can see, but also there are
click and ship options that actually will sit and ship
directly to our foundation. So we are just truly grateful
for all of the volunteers who help make this happen
because with this particular program, it takes over fourteen hundred

(35:10):
people to be able to help make this happen. So
I just truly appreciate everybody who believes in the mission
and vision of the best of the Batch Foundation. So
I want to say thank you so again. That is
Batchfoundation dot org.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
