Episode Transcript

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 any 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 Right's.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
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.

(00:55):
And it's uh, 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 5 (01:05):
It's not good.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
No, it is not good. Joe Barnic and studio with
us too this morning.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
By the way.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Uh and you saw an accident in Bridgeville.

Speaker 6 (01:12):
Right, Yeah, Well I don't know what part between Bridgeville
and like Upper Saint Claire with a Barril Road whatever that.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
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 going to 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 2 (01:53):
Yeah, it's like the Steelers defense exactly, but makes sense
this morning.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
It it does seem after ten am it'll roll off
and then we're just gonna have clouds. But for now,
snow and flourries 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. High A thirty seven, This
would be a great morning if you can do remote

(02:20):
work to go ahead and flex that much.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Don't be a hero this morning. That's my number one
advice to you. Don't be a hero. Get 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 this, 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,

(02:46):
I'll just pass everybody. 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 PLoud road so
I can get to work.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Talk about Retigan, 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 2 (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 5 (03:15):
Just just tell you, guys know it's reduce speed.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I drive slow anyway. This is right at my alley. Yeah, yes,
you know. I wouldn't picture you as a slow driver.

Speaker 7 (03:23):
That is.

Speaker 1 (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 7 (03:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Other than that, I wouldn't be here on time. Sure,
But other than that, it's like, what's the rush?

Speaker 6 (03:40):
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 2 (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.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Then I realized that's it, that is a and I
stopped myself. But for one they end up beating TALKT
and the Flyers.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
It was.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
It was just an incredible It was just an incredible night.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
You know.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
I just I literally listened to the first two periods
at Logan and then flew on Delta shut out to Delta.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Great Wi Fi.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
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 phone and pray
because this is driving me crazy.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh oh my god.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, that would in the middle of a coup Roun
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 2 (04:47):
Sid is happy, he said, is playing some of the
best talking of his life.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
I you know, it's so funny because that I'm doing
the morning, the more 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 1 (05:02):
And he did yes, right, well, he's listening. So anything
else you want to ask for, I would do it now.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Uh, I'm completely I mean five to one and it
was a five one. There 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.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Oh you would have touched Sid.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
This man will take 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.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
I was disappointed this preseason because I'm like Boka 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 Yona's competent.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
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.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Like a dog is saying it.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Chicago.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I mean Jar's playing great.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Uh, well, it's a big performance from him last night. 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. Uh, most of the takes I
thought were measured.

Speaker 2 (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.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Time, 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, Like,
what are you talking about? Cares he rings against Sidney
Crosby go away Wilbon. 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?

(07:26):
Or am I getting the informed journalist who actually has
measured in reasonable responses to things.

Speaker 6 (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 2 (07:43):
Yeah, that's a great point. I forgot about that. I
used to love him.

Speaker 7 (07:47):
Well.

Speaker 2 (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. Right, Yeah, Like you know, Holland

(08:11):
Garfunkle doesn't work as good. You know, Simon and Oates.
There's something to the.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
Combination and they don't argue and scream at each other, right,
that's what makes it so much better as well.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
But that's what the other guys 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 6 (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.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
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 1 (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 by
your neighborhood for its store. Because it's so nice and
white and snow y out yesterday. How likely is it
we're going to see snow for Christmas this year in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
While we all know that.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Nature can be unpredictable, the odds that the snow is
going to be in Pittsburgh this year, isn't great? 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 5 (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. Okay,
so enjoy it now, I guess is my point?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Or yeah? Or endure it now?

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Endure it now.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yesterday was Cyber Monday, but Black Friday? 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. So the peak was
ten am to two pm. We were spending twelve point
five million per minute.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Did you do any kind of I Cyber Monday?

Speaker 4 (10:34):
You did? I did?

Speaker 6 (10:35):
My buddy's birthdays coming up, and I went to get
him something as well as a bottle of booze, but
something of the keepsake.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, I don't even think to do it.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
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.

Speaker 7 (10:54):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
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 6 (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 8 (11:07):
Though?

Speaker 6 (11:08):
It was a it's a cool t shirt on the
for the air? Yeah, okay, no for fifteen bucks.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So all right, you know, such a deal. Yeah, I know.
There was like a lot of headphone deals going on.
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.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
That's not bad, No, it's not bad at all. But
I haven't been thinking about doing the Aaron Rodgers and
going back to the wired headphones. I don't know why
I don't have every time I read about.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
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. There's
something about this transit going from my pockets to my
head that feels like it's going to end up with

(12:04):
a huge, you know, glioblastoma. One day because I'm listening
to Wean at a gym, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Well, I like Bluetooth cans.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Oh so they don't fall because every time, I mean
the times I do use a StairMaster or treadmill, 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.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
The whole time.

Speaker 2 (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, or they get the airport Like no,
I just like these things, And then you know that's
the way it is.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
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 1 (12:40):
No, 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 air pods seal enough up

(13:02):
for you 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 6 (13:11):
Right, And like podcasts, you can't hear somebody's voice over
like the jet engine.

Speaker 7 (13:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
You listen to podcasts like religiously, but you listen to
them all on two times, right.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
And sometimes on three times. How do you listen to
three times?

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Because Randy and Abby I listened to like ten hockey
podcasts a day. There's not enough time in the day.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
How are you absorbing?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, 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 2 (13:42):
I listened to the Getty Lee autobiography book on tape,
and it's Getty Lee doing it you know that sounds
like a torture and well where you would have a dobby.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Little black site, But no, it when I sped up
his voice, I'm like, I think I might be able
to get it to his actual singing voice if I
keep going higher.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
But no, one point five is my limit.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
I was gonna say one point three is my limit, and.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
One point five, I feel like is a little too fast.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
It depends, and I do it for the longer pot
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 like one point two.

Speaker 6 (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. Yeah, they
are 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.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
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 4 (15:28):
Well, and you have to be careful because that could
be happy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Anyhow did you do any Black Friday ing or a
Cyber Monday ing?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Abby, I've never been a Black Friday shopper, just kind
of opposed to it.

Speaker 5 (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
was like fire away.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
I was like, never mind.

Speaker 6 (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.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Things on Amazon.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I'm embarrassed to say, well, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Even the man.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Christmas shop in like five minutes. Yeah done.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Yeah, I feel kind if you feel disgusted, But it's
like I do feel disgusted.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's why I was gonna say. Even the Mond Paw
restaurants like local restaurants. This is a good way to
keep your money local. 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.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
And a lot of them.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
You'd be surprised how many of them let you order
gift cards online and we'll send them out.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Something to considered.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
I know a small business Saturday this past week, right,
I'm pretty sure small business Saturday.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, No, wouldn't it be this because today is Giving Tuesday?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Okay, So I thought, yeah, I think.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
I think they kind of do like Dan, Yeah, exactly,
hug a friend Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (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 7 (17:22):
I do.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
I hate seeing talk.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
It 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 6 (17:31):
I love Dan News. I just wish Talking was still
in Vancouver, just so you didn't have to face him. Yeah,
because I love Talking. His three cups are here.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Jeans 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.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Drive careful out there, It's brutal Live from the Donz
Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Shops for appliance is. This is w D Pittsburgh. Back off, Boogloo,
Come bring me on.

Speaker 9 (18:03):
The show that has always been pure Pittsburgh is the
DV Electric Lunch Pittsburgh has decided the menu every day
in the All Request at Electric Lunch with Michelle Michaels.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
So let me know what you guys need on.

Speaker 10 (18:17):
DV from the Seedon Hill University Weather Center. Schedule your
campus visit today.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
This report is sponsored by Mattress Firm.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
There's a winter weather advisory. All right, thankfully my pursuita
made it in here. Okay, we are worried about you
just under the wire. 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.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
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. Close.
So I got to hear the worst gut has it
ever snowed in Bridgeable before?

Speaker 2 (18:57):
There's no plows out there was no.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
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 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

(19:22):
barely moving. Oh my god, stay home. I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, but you know not everyone hast irritated. 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. 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 penalty kills do they have last night?
I believe they killed six of seven. That's I mean,
that's pretty good. Special.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, it was beautiful.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
I mean, it was a nice night for the Pens,
but they kept showing the crowd in Philly. There were
so many Pittsburgh people a ton and this has taking
me back, joh. I don't know if you know this
about me. 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

(20:51):
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 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

(21:12):
other people in their root for Pitts like it was
r going.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's like Blue Jerseys Day days. 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 2 (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.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Ever since, I'm not 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 4 (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. They didn't
win it. That was the Ken regged game set right,
But they won a couple of games in Philly in
that round. But it just blew me away last night.
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

(22:20):
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
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 2 (22:43):
Man, those are ballsy fans.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Well, there's nobody there anymore for Philly.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Well, there's enough people there.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
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 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.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
The game there's people jawing at each other.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
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 rivalry in sports.
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 6 (24:23):
Yeah, you know, I love how the young guys hate
them too now, because that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
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.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
But that's how much he hates them. Do you think
that bleeds 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. Yeah, it's easy to hate them. Yeah,

(25:00):
they're definitely easy to hate. Like quality quality went last night?

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Uh and Jarry good in net again? Yeah, or Joe.
I've seen some uh chatter online that Edmonton might be interested.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, I mean that was a should you should.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
You carry him halfway to Edmonton and I'll take him
the rest of the way.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
You know, it's a lot of money, Mike. I don't
want to tank.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
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.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Let's get out from under and stay in the race.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Anyway, Well, well, then Mishaw is gonna come up and
play every game because she loves Okay, can't stop a
beach can't stop a beach ball.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
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 6 (25:57):
But if you really need him, Yeah, But Mike, they're
saying like we would take back Skinner and Walman.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
I don't want neither.

Speaker 6 (26:03):
Of those guys. Who's the take wehying dumb Skinner. No
one want Skinner. Just take him and cut him.

Speaker 4 (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. Make
it all rookies. Why not?

Speaker 6 (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 6 (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.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
Bras.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
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 lineup I heard
driving up. Yeah, I was impressed. Yeah I did. I beg,
I beg.

Speaker 11 (26:56):
You know.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
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 6 (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.

Speaker 12 (27:18):
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 2 (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.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
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 2 (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 6 (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 2 (28:16):
Joe Bartner canging out with us.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
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. Boy, bad
weekend for the Zebras. Wow, that was a rough one
man from pro to college.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
One 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.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
That wasn't past 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 5 (28:59):
Pre game festivities are set.

A streaming at DV dot com, here on the iHeartRadio
app and all.

Speaker 9 (29:19):
Your smart devices. This is one O two point five
DV E.

Speaker 4 (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?

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Where they hell were?

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Yes, Philadelphia, Ben Salem and Providence was just an incredible
Italian dinner and it was showing.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
That's the only kind of dinner in Providence. It's all Italians.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
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? I did in Philly?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (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. I was relaxing, Yeah,
and they're like, oh, were you leave it to a
Penguin fan to be sleeping.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
I'm like, I was resting on all my Stanley cumps.
Stick it to him. Yeah, Penguin stuck it to him.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
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 14 (30:49):
I'll love that known.

Speaker 15 (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. It's such a
hilarious sound by He's a hoe and I.

Speaker 16 (31:11):
Want that known.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
I love that he's a hoe. Is making a resurgence.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah, it's twice this week. 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.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
He's a house I make a whole housewife.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
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?

Speaker 7 (31:43):
Ever?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Coward went off on Lane Kiffin yesterday on the Dan
Patrick Show.

Speaker 7 (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 4 (32:04):
A few years running up to that Super Bowl win
in Detroit.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
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 2 (32:19):
Cries for fire Cower, while maybe not organized in stadium
like they were for Tomlin, they were there.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
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 7 (32:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Here he was talking about those like.

Speaker 8 (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 8 (33:02):
I alder, I got a fire chance. But I think
that I was 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 8 (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. The night was dark, 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

(34:02):
their cars to tell me everything that I should be doing.
We're not run the football enough, you're too conservative, 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 17 (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 17 (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.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Or wrong.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
That's what a coach does.

Speaker 17 (36:00):
Have coaches, Okay, A good coach gets you to play
to your potential.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
And right now, the players we have on that team
I have seen play.

Speaker 17 (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 14 (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.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Diana Rassini was saying yesterday that when you talk to
coach Tomlin. He looks tired.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
That his passion for the game is not escaped, but
he is a very tired person, worn out, maybe just
burnt out. It's kind of sounded like my mom talking
to me on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 5 (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.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Has.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Part of the criticism, though, been with Tomlin that he's
trying to control too much.

Speaker 2 (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.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
You're not letting everyone do their job, so you're over
controlling the outcome essentially, Yeah, and you're out of options
not realizing. 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.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I will make the in game calls like that might
help him. He's just not that kind of guy.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
He's not.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
He wants to have his stamp on things.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
And I think that defensively, you know, I know what
Mike was saying yesterday about the fact 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? 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.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
Just pee wee football, just people just running over the Steelers,
and that's what makes everybody in this town sick.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
I remember in the sixties, I wasn't a rabbit.

Speaker 6 (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 6 (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 4 (40:05):
They don't have a number two receiver. Oh no, how
do you?

Speaker 6 (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 2 (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.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
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 4 (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 5 (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 5 (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 13 (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 18 (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 18 (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 Akroshuer 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
play this Sunday at M and T Bank Stadium in Baltimore,
with the winner taking control of the AFC North Division.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
I'm Tom Offerman with the Steelers Report.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
The Black and Gold faith will always travel well to
see guaranteed human.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
What's funny is I would listen to you guys well
when I lived in California in Still May with my dogs,
and I'd listen on two speed, and then if it
goes to like regular speed, it seems like you guys
are slower than reality.

Speaker 7 (43:04):
Sense.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
Yes, no, because the same thing happens to me when
I listened to the part in 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 (43:22):
And they all sound like they have CTE.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah, they're all of a sudden just I'm like, boy,
these guys aren't as witty as I thought.

Speaker 6 (43:30):
There's not nearly as quick as I thought, or like
the next button from two point zho is back too
point five. It immediately sounds like like Madden's having a stroke.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Andy Bellman and the DV morning show.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Everyboddy Joe Barnick is with us this morning, and it's
always good to see a pal. And I want to
thank you for coming out to the Smalls Waltz that
we did before Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
There thank me.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
I want to thank you. That was one of the
great I mean, and I've had a lot of fun
concerts in my life. That was one of the best
things I have ever been a part of. I mean, everybody,
I'm sorry if you can say his name, the country dude,
John John Binley with the harmonica guy. They raised the bar.

(44:14):
Joe Griskey, of course, the legend raised the bar. Clinton
Clegg raised the bar. The other Blues Guy was incredible,
Jimmy Eyler and Just and Minda is Just, but everybody,
all the horns, the ladies singing. It was just an
incredible night of music and the fans, all the DV

(44:35):
people there.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
It was one of the best nights I've had a
long long time.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
It was.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
I've gotten word that it was once again a little
too crowded, so I tried to put some some stops
on the total sales with the club so that people
didn't feel as crowded.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
But maybe that got ignored.

Speaker 7 (44:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (44:51):
That was my old man smarts though. You're like, you
want to be on the floor. I'm like, is there
seats on the floor, I'll be sitting on top.

Speaker 7 (45:00):
See.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Although you could have shook your butt the whole time.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Yeah, it was that good.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
It was just like I need this, especially with the gout. Yeah, yeah,
you're dealing with the cat well, you had a lot
of injuries. You were nursing that night. You play hurt
when the rambles going on. I've waited like five years
to see that show. I know it was worth it,
absolutely worth it. And you know, you know, I mean,
you know, I love Clinton, but that might have been
one of the best he's ever been. I totally agree.
And next year's the fiftieth anniversary of the Last Waltz.

(45:25):
So while we were thinking about maybe that would have
been the last one we do a couple of weeks ago,
we're gonna have to do it for.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
The fifth anniversary next year, and then that'll probably be
the ye.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
Well, I'm sure, and it'll yeah, that'll be the last one.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Well, no, because it's you know, it'll cease to be special.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
But every year, the amount of people there's an after party,
and the amount of people who come up to the
after party in the Funhouse and just tell me how
much they love that that show. It's you know, it's
gospel to people. And you saw Thanksgiving, at least in
my algorithm, the amount of people who make it a
Thanksgiving tradition to watch the Last Waltz every year year.
And you worked for Bill Graham, Joe Bartnick, the guy

(46:04):
who was the mind behind the Turkey Dinner aspect at
the winter In Ballroom when they held the Last Waltz,
all of the people in attendance, it was a twenty
five dollars upgrade on your ticket and you got a
full Thanksgiving meal before the concert started.

Speaker 8 (46:23):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (46:23):
Yeah, I mean Bill was always innovative and everything was
just super cool. That's why worked at the film. Wore
was the best because you got the best of every band. Yeah,
if they just played Bakersfield then Fresno, they waited all
week to get to the filmore, so you got the
best of the best. Yeah, you know what the dy
I want to say For people who aren't even familiar
with the last Waltz or it was just a great show.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Like you could know none of those songs and don't
even know who.

Speaker 6 (46:50):
The band is, and the music in the entertainers and
the musicianship was just incredible.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
And the thing that you put it together, you and Minda,
it's just incredible. Well that's nice you to say. But
hopefully next year we'll get it done once again and
maybe we'll do like gobble Ritos instead of having a
full n be a part of it. Is it weird
too though? It's like you could put in a bigger place,
but they wouldn't lose.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
It would Oh absolutely would.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Yeah, it's gonna have that vibe where people are kind
of sharing the experience together, but you got to split
the Gobblerito.

Speaker 5 (47:26):
Yeah, that M'm not going to watch the show.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Might weigh you down a little bit.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
But we were able to raise over eight thousand dollars
for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank at a time
of the year when they desperately need it. So we
got all the musicians paid, we got the venue paid,
and we were able to make a huge donation. So
I was really glad about that aspect of things. All Right,
Abby's got a news update for you.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
What's going on news this hour brought to you by
Keystone Basement System Sweat Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. Snow
and flurries this morning up to an inch. It seems
like the 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

(48:07):
disruptions this morning. It's going to be a high of
thirty seven. 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 degrees.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
Or forty five degrees forty five miles per hour. So
please be safe out there.

Speaker 6 (48:23):
As a man, I really can't judge inches. I always
think there's more inches than Yeah, no, I hear, and
there is, but it seems like there's way more than
one inch.

Speaker 5 (48:31):
Yeah, we can argue about it, and I will.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
There's there's plenty on the ground to make it dangerous,
so so be careful. And according to the Pittsburgh Scanner account,
the salt truck tracker is down. Oh great, and the
roads are really not looking plowed right now, and there
are some some bad accidents out there.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
So take your time this morning.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
As Abby said, a lot of school closings, delays and
things like that. If you're headed into work or headed
anywhere minute, just be careful, don't be a hero.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
All right, plenty of things to look forward to as
we really get into December.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
Here, we'll start off with sports.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
College football's bowl games kick off on December the thirteenth.

Speaker 7 (49:15):
Here.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
Have you been paying attention to a lot of college ball?

Speaker 4 (49:18):
I mean, yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
It was ravelry weekend this past weekend.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
So no, I got to go to Duke's and watch
the Ohio State Michigan game while the Pit Miami game
was going on. Yeah, outside of that, which actually because
I was thinking to you because in like Michigan, I
was looking at the kind of the great I was
thinking of the Great Lakes because Ann Arbor.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
Yeah, and I was thinking, I wonder how great lakes guy.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Now that I got obsessed with Edd.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Too, I was kind of like watching the field get
covered and I always thinking I'm like, oh.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
That's probably pretty brutal.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
We're kind of covered on the NFL and NHL action
uh this month, but the MLS Cup Final is going
to go down this Saturday, and then the third annual
NBA Cup Turn runs through December the sixteenth.

Speaker 6 (50:02):
I haven't been here since the soccer team one. Was
that not just the greatest thing ever? The River Hans, Yeah,
the Hounds. I love the goalie.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
I won't say his name for the FCC, but uh,
he looked like.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
He worked in blocs.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Ever, he wasn't like some euro trash guy like smoking Kents,
you know on a soccer goalie. You know, he was
like it, dude, Yeah, I loved it. Blownos goalie.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
I love to look at entertainment this month in theaters.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
The big movies coming out this month are going to
be Avatar Fire and ash Now what.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Number is that he cares? I never saw the first one.
I never got into Avatar.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
You never saw the first one?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
Nope, never did either.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
I thought that was like required.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
I think the thing is is that because we see
so much AI and CGI, I don't know that we
can appreciate probably how difficult it is to make these
Avatar movies. I don't know what number they're on. I
saw the first one and probably didn't care as much
as I was supposed to.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
So I lost the thread Fire and ash Fire and.

Speaker 5 (51:12):
Ash It's opening December the nineteenth.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
To Avatar Fire. Mike Comlin, there you go.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
The SpongeBob movie search for Square Pants lands the same day,
and I am way more.

Speaker 5 (51:23):
Excited about that. Yeah, there were trailers for it.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
I took my daughter to see Wicked and the trailers
for the SpongeBob movie. We were both crying, laughing. We
thought it looked so funny.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
That's great, I mean it was.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
I was a little too old for SpongeBob, but I
have great appreciation for everything I see from SpongeBob. It
looks like a more sanitized version of Ren and Stimpy
to me. So ren and Stimpy was a little more subversive.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
I think, yeah, this one's coming hard with the jokes
and it's got definitely it's going to have adult jokes
in there as well, and it kind of always has
appealed to a little bit of like the teen like
stoner community for sure, which.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
By the way, also Wicked No bad, Yeah, not good
and Eat.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
He didn't like it either, Yeah, did she like the
first one?

Speaker 5 (52:06):
Love the first one?

Speaker 2 (52:08):
So I just I don't understand the allure of any
of it, so I can't really judge.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
We went into it, like I think she had high
expectations for it. But what I think our big takeaway
She said, all the fun stuff was in the first
movie and all the sad stuff was in the second movie.

Speaker 5 (52:25):
Yeah, it's too long, And I went.

Speaker 7 (52:27):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (52:27):
Put that on Sean Collier's post.

Speaker 8 (52:30):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Yeah, and the actresses look like they are going through
something traumatic.

Speaker 5 (52:35):
They're bummed out. Yeah yeah, Okay. The kill Bill movies,
they're gonna put those two together.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
So they're kind of doing this kind of culmination of
the Tarantino movies all in one sitting. So if you
can sit down for four hours and thirty five minutes,
they're going to be doing a re release of both
kill Bill movies.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
That's a lot. I don't think I could sit in
the theater that long on a flight. I could do
it on a flight.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
There you go.

Speaker 19 (52:56):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
I did The Irishman, you know, The Irishman.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
When I rewatched it, it wasn't as bad as I remember.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
I think my expectations were so high for it that
when I watched it, it was just they made so
many questionable decisions with the casting, and they could have
easily made that movie great if they would have just
cast age appropriate actors.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
You could have kept Pacino in there. You could have
kept Pesci in there.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
But what about your buddy, like Bobby Connavale playing the
DeNiro role instead of de Niro, so that when he
had to beat somebody up, he actually looked like he
could beat somebody up.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I think bobby kind of rally should be in every movie.

Speaker 7 (53:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (53:33):
Well, the editing, and I believe you, I'm no editor,
But just like, okay, they're walking to the plane, you
could just show them on the plane. Yeah, you don't
have to show an eighty year old man walking to
the plane. That's the way that movie took forever. It's true,
but it was.

Speaker 7 (53:49):
It was okay.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
There was a new movie out there where de Niro
plays two gangsters, is awful.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
Alto Kings. Yeah, I watched.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
I watched on the.

Speaker 6 (53:55):
Plane like three times because I'm that kind of person
where if I'd rather know a movie, I'd know it's like,
it would be good if he just played one of
the guys and someone else played.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
The other guy.

Speaker 15 (54:04):
I know.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
I don't why did they feel like they had to
do that, Like all of a sudden, he's Eddie Murphy.
He's like, I want this monster to fart. I want
this monster to be a wisecracker.

Speaker 5 (54:12):
And this was his mama, right.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
It was like that Sopranos movie. Why didn't they get real,
real good Italian actors to be in that movie? And
they had the real Leota played two characters. Were they
that was HBO?

Speaker 4 (54:25):
That cheap?

Speaker 14 (54:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
I think that was a creative decision. I don't think
they were that cheap. That movie was disappointing. That movie
was That movie made Alto Kings look like The Godfather.
I still love the Sopranos, So I watched it, but yes,
it didn't have any connection to me with The Sopranos,
and the sort of early versions of Pauli and Silvio

(54:46):
were kind of comical.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
I thought it was like, all right, this.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
Is just yeah, pointless. It just kind of didn't make
any sense. I agree.

Speaker 5 (54:54):
I'm starting my third rewatch of The Sopranos now I
get to get it in season one, but I saw
have to.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
I get so happy when I can start The Sopranos again,
when there's been enough time that I can rewatch it
without feeling like I just watched it, because it really
is my favorite all time television show. Although it should
be pointed out that I believe yesterday on December first,
mad Men in four K dropped on Netflix or is

(55:21):
HBO Max on HBO Max, so prior to that it
was only AMC and you had to have a subscription.
So if you haven't seen mad Men in a while,
highest recommendation to go watch that. It's incredible. But apparently
there's a glitch going on and I'm sure they'll get
it fixed. But in the four K edition, that's the
thing about this. It looks amazing because it's four K,

(55:43):
but they didn't or weren't able to edit out some
of the things that never made it into the original
mad Men that were like technical things. So like the
scene where Roger is barfing because he has too many oysters.
There's a crew behind him him like pumping the vomit thing,
and when you watch it in four K you can

(56:04):
see the crew Like, I'm not sure how they're going
to go back and digitally edit it all, but they
or why they didn't do that originally, But apparently there's
a bunch of glitches that in four K you see
things that you weren't supposed to see that we're supposed
to be, you know, hidden by you know, television magic.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I'm not the biggest fan of four K, but it
looks too good.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
You know, if you watch Soprano's on a too nice
of a television, how Tony looks computerized, like he's like flamation.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Yes, I don't like that, now, I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
I like it to look a little more filmy, you
know that I don't need the high definition of Carmela's face.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
Yeah, so I get the rewatches of like things like
the Sopranos and Madmen. I'm interested in you rewatching The
Irishman because we've talked about it before.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
On the show that we all disliked it so much.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
I told you I watched it after I was recovering
from a hernia surgery, and even that I was like,
I'll have the surgery again, Like.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
I hate this movie. So why why go back and
watch something you didn't like?

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Well, because it's Scorsese and you just thought like, yeah, well,
I thought maybe I was judging it too harshly.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
No, but the story is good, and they just make
these questionable choices. There's just too much. It's like, you know,
it's like when Jimmy Page formed The Firm.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
All Right, those aren't great albums, but.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
I like going back and listening to them because I
like to see what they were thinking, him and Paul
Rodgers and what you know, what did you guys think
was gonna work? Or why did you want to do this?
And I know they're not great, but I still like
some of the songs.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
Okay, I think The Firm is better than The Irishman.
Maybe I did enjoy The Irishman. I saw it like
I went to the theater. If I don't see a
movie in the theater, I'm pretty much never gonna see it.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
Don't you feel when you go to see a movie
in the theater that you have a much more special
relationship with that movie. Sure, you're like, this is I
went and so at the theater, I have like ownership
of this. There's some sort of efforts you feel attached
to that movie. And Joe Peshi was incredible in that movie.

Speaker 4 (58:09):
He was great.

Speaker 6 (58:10):
I thought it might have been his best. I mean,
he just wasn't Joe Peshe he was that guy. And
I also loved the guy who plays He's the kind
of a chubby guy. The guy who plays.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire's Stephen Graham.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
He's great.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Yes, in The Irishman jem he's really good. He's also
good in Gangs in New York. Yes, he's just a
good actor. That dude, really good actor.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
On the way for you might pursue of joining us
as we get ready for Steelers Ravens Sunday in Baltimore.
First place is on the line. I mean, a pretty
ugly day in the media. I'm sure Mike Tomlin avoided
social media yesterday, and it would be a good thing
to have done that because everybody was talking about the
Steelers fans reaction to the embarrassing loss to the Bills

(58:55):
and wondering will this ever change? Or are we doomed
to watch the football version of the Irishman week in
and week out. So much talent, why isn't it better?
Mike's got a full report and we come back. Jeans
Terrator Charlie Batchet, Billy Gardell on.

Speaker 14 (59:11):
The way for you gets a shout it out, a
lout back off bogloo.

Speaker 16 (59:14):
Me'll come bring me on.

Speaker 9 (59:16):
The show that has always been pure Pittsburgh is the
DVE Electric Lunch. Pittsburgh has decide the menu every day
in the all request at Electric Lunch with Michelle Michaels.

Speaker 10 (59:27):
So let me know what you guys need on DV
from the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
For DV sports. All right, Mike Prasina, we'll do sports
right now on the DV Morning Show. Mike, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (59:40):
Sports? This up brought to you buck Bridgeville Appliance. Sidney
Crosby's seventeenth goal the season got the Penguins started midway
through the first period in Philadelphia last night. After the
Flyers tied it via a five on three power play goal,
Crosby struck again at eight oh eight of the second
number eighteen and an the Penguins lead, and the Penguins

(01:00:02):
pretty much coast at home from there, five to one
over the Flyers. Joe anything celebratory to add or just
to score say at all. The score says it could
have been six one. They cheesily took away Gino's goal, cheezily,
you know what. And I thought they got so many calls.
I know I'm biased, but ticky tack, you know, Kendall

(01:00:24):
gets his head, his nose blown up, and they don't
call anything. And then Ziegers falls down like a cheap.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Whore, to cheap horse fall. Yeah, the expensive one. Stay
up right.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
Penguins approve to thirteen seven and five thirty one points.
That matches Philadelphia's thirty one points. Those are your two
wild cards in the Eastern Conference right now and crazy
times in the Eastern Conference because it is so tightly contested.
A line of leeds the Metropolitan Division with thirty four
points and depends on their first wild card with thirty one.

(01:01:06):
Toronto is last in the Eastern Conference playoffs standings with
twenty five points, only six out of only six out
of a playoff spot, and we gave them two points.

Speaker 6 (01:01:16):
You know it's I've never been against the shootout, but
this year I think I'm against it. You know, Flyers
have like six shootout wins.

Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
I'll tell it. At six points, they wouldn't have I'll
tell you what I'm against. Now, all of a sudden,
there's three on three overtime because because nobody's trying anymore,
they just circle around and go backwards out of the
zone and everybody's looking for a breakaway, or they're just
trying to exhaust the other team and change while they
have the puck. Nothing happens, and then we just go
to the shootout. It so just the tie game, go

(01:01:44):
to the shootout. Just let's get it over with.

Speaker 7 (01:01:47):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:01:47):
I like the I don't want to go to the shootout.
I wouldn't get rid of the shot I like overtime.
I might just go to the three two one system
and let ties happen again or that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
Yeah, three on three is they've coached all the fun
out of it because nobody wants to take a chance. Yeah,
I would like just longer three on three, or I
don't know, let's just play five on five, play real hockey.
Do you think these guys could play five more minutes.
You would think.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
The amount of games that's all per year that you'd
end up accumulating.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
Here's an idea. So then try to win in the
third period instead of just getting it to overtime, so
you get a loser point or like some tweak of
like what you only had one shift in overtime.

Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
And that's it interesting. Who's gonna keep track of that though?
I mean they got they got a little little computer decals.
Is there how fast someone's skating, They can sure keep
tracking if they're on the bench or not.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
You just put an X on their head, Mike, you
know you're done.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
Is they get their shift and then they have to
go to the locker room instead of the bench. That's right,
it's just good. Well, we're not going to fix it
right now, but it does stink. It does. Crossby two
goals last night tied Gordy Howe. For the excuse me,
The Penguins win last night allowed Crosby to ty Gordy
Howe for the sixth most wins with a single franchise

(01:03:10):
in NHL history eight hundred and fifty one. This is
kind of an obscure step, but it's pretty cool. The
only players with more wins with one team Nicholas Lindstrom
one thousand and ninety with the Red Wings, Patrick Marlowe
nine hundred and twenty four with the Sharks, ov nine
to fourteen with the Caps, Steve Eiserman eight hundred and

(01:03:30):
eighty six with the Red Wings, and Larry Robinson eight
fifty nine with the Canadian Marlowe I would have never
got he was played for forty three years.

Speaker 15 (01:03:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:03:42):
The Sharks were the Tomlin Steelers of the NHL. Yeah
right for a long time.

Speaker 4 (01:03:47):
Yeah. Monday Night football. Last night, the Patriots did it again,
thirty three to fifteen over the New York Football Giants.
New England is eleven and two.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Eleven and two. I don't Ohio, and where one of
those two's?

Speaker 4 (01:04:02):
Yeah? Drake May twenty four thirty one for two eighty two,
two touchdowns, no interception, that's how Yeah. But I mean
I have a whole lot else going on besides him.
I mean, they got good players, but nothing that makes wow.
Have a good quarterback and the coach it helps. Rabel.
Giants are two and eleven eight p College basketball Top

(01:04:25):
twenty five and still Purdue number one and Arizona number
two Michigan moves up to three, followed by Duke Yukon Louisville,
Michigan State, Houston by U, and Iowa State. Rounding out
the top ten, Duke Caine hosting William and Mary Tonight,
Dukes are five and two overall five and zero at home. Also,

(01:04:45):
Pitt hosts Texas A and M. What what a great
night to go to college basketball game on just squat
Drive through the snow should deal with all that crap.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
It's gonna slow down here in a couple hours.

Speaker 4 (01:04:55):
Pitt is five and three hosting Texas A and M,
and and Penn State seven and one hosting Campbell from
the Big South coff You know what Campbell's nickname is,
the Soups the Fighting Camels, the.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
Campbell Fighting Camels. Yeah, not tremendous, just because it rhymes.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
I don't know why I like the soups.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
Yeah, I think the soup was logical.

Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
They got their reasons.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
Yeah, Abby's news topics could go without water for ages.

Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
Yeah course.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
You remember that though when we were kids, and then
like the coaches thought that that was like instilling some
sort of discipline in you that was making you tougher,
and they would not let you drink water the Junction boys.

Speaker 6 (01:05:37):
The kid would have died if like if like the
old doctor wasn't in his office in Junction, Texas with
Bear Bryant.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Oh no kid, Yeah, yeah that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
Yeah, he was like dead and the guy guy revived
him in the old school, like he put down a
cigarette and put like an ice cube Budger's and like
kid lived his cigarette.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
Yeah, it was like the outback. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:06:01):
But yeah, there's no water imagined in Texas, West Texas
in August the Bear. You guys have to watch the SEC.

Speaker 15 (01:06:09):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
This is an eight part documentary. It's in It's Ken Burns.

Speaker 8 (01:06:14):
Where is it.

Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
It's on the I think it was on the SEC network.
I'm sure it's on ESPN on demand. It literally goes
from like the Civil War up until Saban.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Everything in the SEC, all the civil rights is incredible.

Speaker 7 (01:06:28):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
It's one of those things where like I started watching
episode one and then that was it, Like I watched
them all pretty much.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
Well, I would imagine former Steelers coach who was the
John John Mitchell was the first black player at Alabama.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
First black captain, black captain. Okay, there, he'll be a
feature there Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:06:44):
One kid showed up and then he got hurt and
then he and he didn't bear loved him, but he
got hurt and he kind of quit and that for
like three years, there was nobody after him, Like all
four three guys didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
Make the team.

Speaker 6 (01:06:58):
He would have made it, but he would have been
the first black play for Alabama. He think lost the history.
But just some crazy stories about it. It's just I
love it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Well, we'll search it out because if this weather is
coming for us, we're all going to be snowbound pretty soon.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
Anyways.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
All right, as we said earlier Billy Gardelle in the
nine o'clock hour and Jean's Sterotor, we're gonna run over
a whole bunch of messed up calls from this past week.
And it was pretty brutal in the NFL last night's game.
Did you see the kicker for the Giants. I think
it's young O Coup.

Speaker 4 (01:07:30):
I just saw the clip on Twitter. He didn't finish
the kick, he grounded his club.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
I've never seen anything like it, Like you know, when
you when you're golfing and you hit three you know,
inches in front of the ball and you hit the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:07:41):
And he did that with his foot last night.

Speaker 5 (01:07:44):
If you told me to make a kick in the NFL,
that that is what that would have looked like.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
I've never ever seen that in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
And so they called fire and then ended up, you know,
losing another ten yards and New England took it over.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
The Giants are mess. Somebody else will be kicking next week?

Speaker 7 (01:07:58):
Is that?

Speaker 19 (01:07:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:07:59):
Yeah? That?

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
That poor dude is just falling all the way down
the the ratchet somehow. I'm not exactly sure what happened
to his career, but he was at one time and
one time or a very good kicker.

Speaker 7 (01:08:09):
No, not now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
But as far as the refs, there was a play
last night too about whether or not you should call
unsportsmanlike conduct for the hit on the quarterback. And we
saw a little bit of this the other night. Uh
when or was it two weeks ago when Jalen Ramsey
pushed the dart run the dart run, dart gets absolutely royd.

Speaker 4 (01:08:32):
You were in bounce.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
He didn't get out, yes, but people are pissed about that.
And see what Gene has to say about that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:39):
That's just the Mahomes effect because he would act like
he's going out of bounds and then spin and get
two or three more yards ago ha ha ha. Right,
so now like I'd kill them off they were legal.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Well, that's the thing is.

Speaker 1 (01:08:51):
The advantage is if you're dart in that situation is
you get to slide and they can't hit you. And
if you want to stay upright and try to get
the other yeah, that's what happens.

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
I think they should take the slide out. I'm with
you on that. But if you want to run, okay,
but you're you're running with the football. So football things
are going to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
At the end of this play, Jean Sterritor talks about
some football things that happened with the referees this weekend
that didn't quite add up.

Speaker 16 (01:09:15):
UH and UH.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Also want to remind you it's Steelers Ravens Sunday, a
one o'clock kickoff with first place in the division on
the line. Tune in starting at nine am here for
all of the pregame activity on your radio Home of
the Steelers.

Speaker 7 (01:09:29):

Speaker 16 (01:09:32):
Some of you tune in at one oh two point
five and others listen to their smart device.

Speaker 4 (01:09:38):
No matter how you listened, Pitsburgh's rocker is w DV.

Speaker 20 (01:09:42):

Speaker 4 (01:09:44):
DV E is this season when you're in the mood
for a holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Year, It's the dB Morning Show. Our next guest is
brought to you by Schneider Down a big thinking with
a personal focus can do for you. From the NFL
on CBS.

Speaker 5 (01:10:06):
It's Gene.

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Gene change Jeane's territory. Gentlemen, Gina, good morning. How are
you what gob?

Speaker 19 (01:10:15):
I'm doing so well, man. I'm just looking out here
in the Laurel Mountains to three to five of freshly
fallen snow before I go out and shovel nine hundred
feet a driveway southwestern BA. You know, the golf simulator
will be on at nine thirty am.

Speaker 7 (01:10:31):
I'll be playing double Beach but dead.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
That brought it perfect, now, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
I told you yesterday, Gene, that I felt like I
had You know, I heard from you more than I
heard from most of my family members during the holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
You were on my television the entire time. How many
games were you at?

Speaker 19 (01:10:52):
I physically was in Dallas for a great football game
really to start, and then it kind of got a
little bombed down in the second half and then off
the next morning at five am to back to New
York for a doubleheader on Friday, and then call her
Oregon and uh in Washington on Saturday, and then just
capped off leftover Saturday.

Speaker 7 (01:11:12):
Or Sunday with with a five topper for the NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:11:15):
So it was a busy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
Yeah, no doubt about it. I hope you finally did
get some turkey.

Speaker 19 (01:11:22):
I think she left a couple of slices in that
back corner of the fridge and I'm gonna heat up
some of that leftover gravy, bro and like dumping on
there and then maybe moisten it up a little bit. Yeah, well,
we'll be fine. Nice, It'll be a good day here.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
The first thing I wanted to ask you about something
that happened in the Steelers game, and you wait in
in real time during the game when there was a
I think dk Metcalf took a penalty on a sportsman
on a touchdown on a touchdown, all right, and touchdown
after a touchdown, and you said that, like they that
should have been I said this originally you said, well,
that had to have been assessed on the extra point.

(01:11:57):
You can't just hold it over until the kickoff. There's
no choice there is. It needs to be assessed there.
And then a little later you came back in the
broadcast and clarified well, because the ball was set for
the extra point that they then had, according to New York,
the discretion to decide between using it on the kickoff

(01:12:17):
or the extra point. I felt like you were just
trying to save them from a lot of trouble. I
felt like Jeen's coming in here right now to stop
these guys from getting harangued on their way out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
To the airport. What was the real story there and
what should have happened?

Speaker 7 (01:12:32):
You thought I was spinning it a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
I thought you dot spin you know what.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
I was like, he's got his zebra's back.

Speaker 4 (01:12:36):
I get it now.

Speaker 7 (01:12:38):
You know what?

Speaker 19 (01:12:39):
You want to make sure when you do this that
you're really right. I mean, and look or none of
us are perfect, right, so all of us make mistakes
in all facets. But in that situation, when I first
saw the touchdown and DK kind of looked like he
did that basketball you're too small look right in the
end zone rather quickly as the play ended, my assumption
was that that was where the unsportsmanlike conduct taunting foul occurred,

(01:13:03):
and then naturally in TV, we go to ISOs and
we don't see the remaining part of the player the
all twenty two, you know, kind of how the game
continues to unfold. So I did come on because if
there is a foul that occurs after the touchdown, which
would be a dead ball foul right after the touchdown
or in even those seconds that happen after that immediate

(01:13:25):
continuing action ends and before the referee chops the ball
or blows the whistle to start the point after try,
that whole window. Now, in twenty twenty four they changed
that rule where they don't give the other team the
option to kicking off from the fifty and all those
other elements. My assumption right away was, look, they just
have a foul on the dead ball scenario. It's got

(01:13:47):
to go on the try. We've got to have you know,
we've got to have a pat from the forty basically, right,
I mean, So that's where I went. After making that
comment and then getting some notification from the NFL and
the few plays that followed, they said, listen, it wasn't
a too small gesture. He had pointed his fingers in
a possible weapon a way which was later and after

(01:14:11):
Alex Kemper, right as Alex Kemper, referee was chopping the
ball ready for play. If that happens and the file
then happens on the try itself, now you're in a
different bucket of enforcement which does allow the other team
the option right of taking it on the pat or
taking it on the kick. I think they stretched it

(01:14:31):
a little bit to put it on the try quite frankly.
I mean there still was thirty people on the field
when DK pointed his fingers there, and I don't believe
Dk metcalf participates on the field goal or extra team.
That's a comment I'm going to leave to you, you know.

(01:14:53):
But then ironically, I think after I came in and
the second half, after watching the all twenty two and
having a little kind of nerdy rough talk with the NFL,
which you want to do to make it right, they
actually then did have one on Cam Hayward that happened
within seconds after the play ended. Uh, And they also
enforced it the same way as they did the d

(01:15:13):
K one, which is a miss quite frankly, right, I
mean that one you just can't that goes on the
point after try so. In essence, my assumption is that,
in my interpretation is they were kind of one for two,
with the one being a little stretched one, you know,
but can fall into that little click of nuanced that
puts it on the uh, you.

Speaker 7 (01:15:34):
Know, the way they applied it on the first one.

Speaker 19 (01:15:36):
The second one though they did enforce in correctly because
that one had to go on the try. It happened
within seconds one or two seconds after the play ended on.

Speaker 7 (01:15:44):
Cam Hayward and Gene.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
That was not the only instance of procedure not being
followed correctly last weekend.

Speaker 19 (01:15:52):
No, my plate was full, Mike, like everyone Thanksgiving plate.

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Yes, what happens when that happened like this, We're not
talking about, Oh, should that have been past interference or not?
Or was that holding or not? I mean, you can't
say we want to kick off that way for an
overtime coin toss.

Speaker 19 (01:16:11):
Right, I mean, yeah, Mike, I think we got also,
and it's something we're going to talk about this week
with our referees in the NFL. Listen, everybody knows all
the little detail and I will.

Speaker 7 (01:16:22):
Tell you full transparency.

Speaker 19 (01:16:24):
There's only two times in your officiating career that you
have your coin toss announcement live on television. It's an
overtime of the regular season in the Super Bowl, and
it's just been this little bug and the voodoo doll
of referees that they just don't do coin tosses live well.
And I was a victim of that Super Bowl fifty
two when I announced the honorary captain in seven different

(01:16:44):
names and none of them were.

Speaker 7 (01:16:46):
His real names, you know, So that happened.

Speaker 19 (01:16:53):
We're one better and Willie Williams, I called him Woodrow Wilson.

Speaker 7 (01:16:57):
I called him three different things. God bless him. And
then also flip the point for Super Bowl.

Speaker 19 (01:17:02):
Fifty two without asking the Eagles if they wanted to
call it your tails and then was saved in the moment.
But it does happen. But listen, when you have a point,
toss it over time and the team that wins the
tosses I want to kick, that's your option. You don't
get to say I want to kick. And also the
direction you say you want to kick, receive, defer. If

(01:17:23):
you say you want to kick, then that's your option.

Speaker 7 (01:17:26):
Then you go to the other team and say.

Speaker 19 (01:17:28):
Which goal would you like to defend? Because we know
you're going to receive, so you don't have to say
you're going to receive.

Speaker 7 (01:17:34):
It's not a choice.

Speaker 19 (01:17:35):
You're getting the ball.

Speaker 7 (01:17:36):
They said they're going to kick, so.

Speaker 19 (01:17:37):
We need to dummy it down a little bit, right.
Plus are great graphics on all our TVs. They put
up every little line item on what the nuances is,
fourth quarter timing, two timeouts for each coach, all reviews upstairs,
Da da Dad.

Speaker 7 (01:17:50):
You don't have to go into that anymore.

Speaker 19 (01:17:51):
Keep it simple, and I'd like me talk a little less,
you know, and it'll be it'll be better.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
Now if they would have said we'd like to defend
that goal. M that qualifies as a choice, right, sure,
But now aren't you essentially saying we want to kick
that way when you say we want to defend that goal,
because who's going to go find the other team is
not going to go, okay, we'll kick.

Speaker 4 (01:18:14):
It to you there.

Speaker 7 (01:18:16):
Now, you're right, man, And I've had that happen.

Speaker 19 (01:18:18):
And when wind and elements come in at times, defending
a goal maybe an option. Usually quite frankly, that's when
I would click my mic off, pretend I had a
mic problem, and look at that other happen and say, listen,
to me. He just said he wants to defend that goal. Now, look,
you're either going to get the ball or you're not,
and it's going to.

Speaker 7 (01:18:37):
Be your choice. So like, don't mess this up, please,
you know, like kind.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Of look at me, you want the ball, right, you.

Speaker 7 (01:18:43):
Got me, you want the ball.

Speaker 19 (01:18:45):
And then we clicked the mic back on and pretend
it Now I was functioning properly for the country, you know,
That's how you do it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:50):
See, if if you ever forget to ask somebody whatether
they want to call heads or tails, just ask better,
so'll do both in your cover.

Speaker 19 (01:18:58):
Yeah, yeah, I'd like to do heads tails.

Speaker 7 (01:19:00):
Can we do that? Yeah, yep, that's gonna land on it.

Speaker 19 (01:19:03):
If it lands straight up and down, though, then he
doesn't win.

Speaker 7 (01:19:06):
That's how you have to do. It's gonna stick him
the mut like that guy like that guy's yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
Yeah's foot. Yeah that was brutal.

Speaker 7 (01:19:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
Another play from that game we were kicking this around
before the break, Jackson Dark takes a huge hit on
the sidelines last night. Uh, some Giants fans up in
arms that nothing was called there. But I let's let's
give the rep some credit for something they have gotten right.
The past couple of weeks, they didn't call Jalen Ramsey
for the hit on Caleb Williams, and they didn't call

(01:19:36):
the Patriots last night for that hit on Jackson Dart
And those are plays that in the era of Patty Mahomes,
there have been a lot of quick whistles there. But
it seems like they're turning the corner and realizing that, like,
if you're the quarterback and you want to try to
eat out a few more yards, you gotta be willing

(01:19:56):
to take a hit there. There was now they missed
one on Sunday in the Steelers Bills game, Josh Allen
took a hit from Patrick Queen that after he had
slid and they probably should have called that way, right,
But Josh Allen is one of those guys where he
probably doesn't get as many calls. It's like Big Ben,
you know, when you play that tough, you just you

(01:20:17):
know you don't get the benefit of the doubt like
the daintier quarterbacks do. But Gino, I think they're finally
starting to get that right.

Speaker 7 (01:20:25):
Yeah, they are, man, they are.

Speaker 19 (01:20:26):
Look, we've given the quarterbacks one hundred different ways to
not get hit, right, go out of bounds slide. There's
so many different ways we're protecting you. Now, don't now
do what most spoiled kids do. If i'd give you
a little bit you want to sneak another yard in right,
or that little extra extra extra. We've given you enough
options to protect you. Now apply them, and if you don't,

(01:20:51):
then suffer the peril of your decision.

Speaker 7 (01:20:53):
Full stop. And to the NFL's credit, that's a reviewable play. Yeah, right,
so now it is reviewable. So now you don't you
do call it?

Speaker 19 (01:21:01):
And his foot wasn't wasn't in the white we're picking
the flag up. You got to hit legally, so you know,
I agree with you. That's one that we're going in
the right direction on.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
Gee. One more question for you regarding your role as
the rules analysts. Now, you were all obviously as engaging
and friendly and polity guys there is and your interactions
reflect that. But I don't know if you saw any
of the Alabama Auburn game. But Follower, I think was
the play by play guy and he had a problem
with a couple of calls, and they brought the rules

(01:21:29):
analysts in and he was just that's obviously passive, fair
so I know what you're talking about. That was a
good call. The rules analysts are getting more aggressive. I
like it to put their foot down, Jean.

Speaker 19 (01:21:43):
Yeah, Mike, and we all want to bring the holiday
spirit and try to explain these complex rules to the
general public in a very nice way, understanding that no
matter what we say, we're going to be met with
a lot of vitriol and hatred on the social media
platforms of our beautiful country in the world.

Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
We've set it up.

Speaker 19 (01:22:00):
But you know what, enough is enough sometimes if it's
a file and you don't think it's a foul, that's
why you're the play by play anouncer.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
That's why they hired me.

Speaker 19 (01:22:09):
Now, if you're gonna throw to me, you gotta deal
with what the answer is here, you know what I mean.
And yes, I think polite friendly was a nice way
to describe me, Mike to a point, and then I
became a pretty miserable sob out there sometimes, but that's
just part of the business as well. So yeah, I
thought that God did a good job pushing back.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Geez Ritor brought to you by Schneider Downs this morning
on dve G.

Speaker 8 (01:22:32):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
Thanks as always, buddy, We'll talk to you next week.

Speaker 7 (01:22:35):
Thanks guys. Be safe out there.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
We'll see Abby's got your news when we return. And
hopefully the plows are out.

Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
I hope they are too.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
Here comes the Pittsburgh Esplanade though, and no plows.

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
Proteum just bought a zamboni. Charlie Batch, Billy Gardell still
to come on.

Speaker 4 (01:22:50):
DV more and iHeartRadio station Guaranteed Human.

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
It 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 5 (01:23:15):
It's going to be a high of thirty seven. And
also we mentioned this in the last hour.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
It sounds like on the highways it's going to be
a speed limit of forty five degrees or forty.

Speaker 5 (01:23:26):
Five degrees forty five miles per hour. So please be
safe out there.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
As a man, I really can't judge inches. I always
think there's more inches than Yeah. I know I hear
there is, but it seems like there's way more than
one inch.

Speaker 5 (01:23:38):
Yeah, we can argue about it, and I will.

Speaker 4 (01:23:42):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Look, it's not the size of the snow drift. That's
how you plow it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Okay, okay, but be careful out there, folks, for real,
on the way for you. Charlie Batch, who loves snow?
Did she got up at four o'clock in the morning
and 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 5 (01:24:11):
Who loves snowmore Charlie Batcher, Jameis Winston.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Charlie Batch.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
Charlie Batch loves snow more than anybody, more than Santa
I mean, his.

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
Wife deserves a Nobel Peace Prize murdering him in the
snow like Fargo, just throw him into the chipper. Imagine
you're signiving another going wait, hey, can you come film
making a snow angel at four in the morning in
the morning.

Speaker 4 (01:24:36):
Yeah, that would be yeah, NFW.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
There are some people who like to get up at
four in the morning just so they have time for
their own golden hour.

Speaker 5 (01:24:47):
Have a coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
Yeah that's right, read I know, But then you have
to end your day at like eight pm. It's not
worth it to me.

Speaker 4 (01:24:54):
I'm on night.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Person, night person.

Speaker 1 (01:24:57):
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 6 (01:25:02):
Yeah, I mean four to me at night. Yeah, it's
the morning, 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 then I'm you know,

(01:25:24):
Marky Mark.

Speaker 4 (01:25:24):
And all those uns.

Speaker 1 (01:25:26):
Ye, 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
I mean he's getting up at like three thirty four,
which is what time you go into bed.

Speaker 4 (01:25:37):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:25:38):
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.

Speaker 4 (01:25:44):
I think you're missing a big part of the day there.

Speaker 5 (01:25:46):
But is that that Brian Johnson guy that don't die guy.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
Yeah, every time I hear Brian Johnson, I think it's
Brian Johnson exactly me too.

Speaker 5 (01:25:53):
I'm hoping I can remember the dude's name.

Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
I'm rooting for acdc's Brian Johnson to outlive the multi
verse guy who thinks he's gonna live forever.

Speaker 4 (01:26:03):
I hope he.

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
Does, just out of spite.

Speaker 3 (01:26:05):
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 this dude, we would, we would hate him.
He's intolerable, like, you know, the the kind of regimen

(01:26:28):
that he had to like pack suitcases just to kind
of keep up with it when he would travel.

Speaker 5 (01:26:32):
Yeah, but he did a huge dose of shrooms.

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
Yeah, he's done a couple of them now, and it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
Changed how he thought about everything because he realized, after
it resets some neural pathways, that he.

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
Was wasting a lot of time in his life trying
not to die.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
Yeah, because you're gonna die.

Speaker 5 (01:26:50):
That it was a waste of time that it wasn't
actually living.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Yeah, Like you have a couple of beers, dude, no
one gets out of us alive. Yeah, relax, up a potato,
have a dorito, or you can't just have one.

Speaker 6 (01:27:06):
I'll tell you something I found out this holiday season.
Peanut butter oreos what what?

Speaker 4 (01:27:14):
They are? Even better?

Speaker 7 (01:27:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:27:26):
I have fired up.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
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 4 (01:27:37):
The bag was filled.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
Okay, So we were eating Reese cups that had oreos,
which were great Halloween. So the combo is blessed. Yeah,
they were awesome. But what is the peanut butter oreo
instead of the white stuff? Uh huh, there's peanuts peanut butter.

Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
Same for me.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
But wait a minute, hold on a second, it's all
peanut butter. No, no, it's the same black cookie chocolate cookie.
But I'm saying it's like it's like not a combination
of the cream and the peanut butter. It's just peanut
butter inside that.

Speaker 7 (01:28:06):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:28:07):
Oh, but it's a very tasty, creamy peanut butter.

Speaker 6 (01:28:10):
I'm not going to say it's reeses, but you know
how like a tasty it's like a whipped sugary peanuts,
a better peanut butter than the peanut butter.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
Yeah, it's incredible.

Speaker 4 (01:28:18):
I'll go for it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:19):
Knowing what we know, though, I kind of want them
to do with the peanut butter and whatever the cream
filling is do them most because we know what it
can be done with the Reese's combo.

Speaker 5 (01:28:29):
It's a lot. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
Yeah, uh, you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
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 burg. 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 this all together to

(01:28:53):
feed the burg It's an all ages show. It's gonna
have Jogersheky Bill, Deezy Gena, Werewolf, Abby, your band Tiny
Wars 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 going
to be there, Liz Berlin and Jen Wurtz. That's a

(01:29:13):
whole lot of rusted route between those three bands, Andrey Costello,
Chaed Vincent, Addie Twigg and Cledonia. It's going to be
an awesome show. Morgan Reno will be there too. Deep Bowman, Well,
we're going to be the house band for the last
half of the show. You can get your tickets at
mister Smalls dot com for that or DV dot com.
And all of the musicians are donating all of their

(01:29:36):
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 is.

Speaker 5 (01:29:44):
This hour is brought to you by Window Nation.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
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. Do speeds to forty five miles per hours
on most highways. It's a high of thirty seven today.

Speaker 5 (01:30:00):
All right, So from the trip.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
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

(01:30:24):
six unit condominium complex, a thirteen story hotel, and a
mixed income apartment tower. The new development will be punctuated
by a two hundred foot tall Ferris Wheel. Project includes
green space, a marina, a winter garden, an incubator for
local entrepreneurs, entertainment areas, a space for pop up events.

(01:30:48):
It's going to do everything.

Speaker 1 (01:30:50):
I am yes, this does sound like a stefan event
that is happening everything.

Speaker 5 (01:30:56):
Hopefully public restrooms too.

Speaker 7 (01:31:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
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.

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
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.

Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
That live there.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
You know, and the 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

(01:31:42):
that North Shore side.

Speaker 4 (01:31:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
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 instead of building this whole new

(01:32:09):
thing that just looks very twenty twenty five instead or
twenty twenty six, instead of restoring the beautiful neighborhood that's
already there.

Speaker 6 (01:32:17):
Yes, as someone who's been gentrified out of a few neighborhoods, yeah,
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. 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

(01:32:43):
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 further out.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
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 (01:33:03):
You lose the uniqueness though, of.

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
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 4 (01:33:17):
So then all the rich people move in.

Speaker 6 (01:33:19):
But it's like then you lose all the momb Past stores,
you lose the restaurants all of a suden, it's just
a chain, the Starbucks, it's the cvs. And what happens
to all the natural things that made that part of
the neighborhood's great.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
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 mond 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 town because.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
That's what it sounds like that it's gonna be a
little bougie.

Speaker 4 (01:33:55):
It has and I'm not sure that it will. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:33:58):
We'll see they keep build thing. There's got to be
a reason.

Speaker 3 (01:34:02):
It has to be these guys and a ferris wheel
and things that you're going to make it marking and
being like.

Speaker 5 (01:34:08):
I'm getting to bring my kids down and I'm gonna
do you know, a bit of shopping.

Speaker 1 (01:34:11):
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 5 (01:34:23):
Are you sure this is out of your pay grid.

Speaker 2 (01:34:26):
I've got ideas, I just don't know how to implement them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:34:30):
Look, I'm also the guy who thought it was a
good idea to have a zip line from Mount Washington
to the point.

Speaker 4 (01:34:33):
So maybe I'm not the person to ask.

Speaker 5 (01:34:35):
Nobody said it wasn't.

Speaker 7 (01:34:38):
Yet.

Speaker 4 (01:34:43):
Possibly it won't be shut down all upon it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
That's true, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:34:46):
Pearl Jam have put their money behind something that will
get a lot of use this winter, a zamboni machine.

Speaker 5 (01:34:53):
The Pearl Jam Jamboni is.

Speaker 7 (01:34:58):
I like it.

Speaker 5 (01:34:59):
It's being can use this season by.

Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
Two Harbors, Minnesota's Youth Hockey Association. The association was in
search of a local business to sponsor its new zamboni
when its board members decided on a whim to reach
out to Pearl Jam. 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

(01:35:23):
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.

Speaker 7 (01:35:32):
So.

Speaker 5 (01:35:32):
We don't know how much the band donated, but it
was a sizeable amount.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
It covers the jamboni for the next three years, and
Pearl Jam designed its own art for the Jamboni Awesome,
which is black with the band's name on the side,
a PG in the school's colors and it's got hockey
sticks cross behind it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:49):
So that's cool. It should hit up all the Seattle bands.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
I'll see if they can help out, can build the
Alison chains Man in the box for the penalty boxes.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
That's very cool. I mean that seems very on brand
for Eddie and the boys to do and then have
Eddie come out. You know, when I was younger, I
was dreamed of having as Jim Boni. Every time he

(01:36:18):
tells stories, it makes me laugh. You know, Still City
Saturday Night.

Speaker 4 (01:36:22):
So good to be here.

Speaker 1 (01:36:23):
He's got like he sounds like Tony Bennett telling a story. Ede,
I don't know someone, thanks man, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:36:33):
Flimmy all right.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
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 claim,
she's going to be getting a lot more than she
will ever have bargained for.

Speaker 8 (01:36:55):
It.

Speaker 5 (01:36:56):
Sounds like she is going to sue Pablo Torre, who of.

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
Course has the podcast Pabulatory 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, and she is saying that that is
a potential defamation.

Speaker 5 (01:37:16):
Claim, which I don't know if she's gonna win that one.

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
It's potentially going to open a Pandora's box because she
is a public figure. She would have to prove actual
malice with that, and that could open up a pretty
lengthy discovery process.

Speaker 5 (01:37:36):
But she's claiming that she's going to go through with it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:40):
I would 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 is that could that be a kink?

Speaker 7 (01:37:54):
There is?

Speaker 4 (01:37:54):
You know, like there's chubby chasers, ye stuff. Are you
hoping I'm too young for?

Speaker 12 (01:38:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
I certainly don't have that kind of money.

Speaker 2 (01:38:02):
Yeah, I mean I think that's the King Joe is
the money part. I think, yeah, because I mean he's
really old. Yeah, 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

(01:38:25):
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 program in any way, shape
or form, in any facet if.

Speaker 1 (01:38:36):
She was the same age as but it's like she'd
be like at the Early Bird Special. True, she would
look a lot weirder in the yoga pants. I admit, Yeah,
we might kill her. Yeah, she wouldn't care what he
did at work, just got the house. Bill bothered me,
but pabulatory. There's no way that he has left himself
open to be like. He's way too smart to do

(01:38:59):
anything that would put himself in legal jeopardy.

Speaker 3 (01:39:03):
Most of the 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,

(01:39:26):
she retweets it, so she's full on history on it
at this point where it's just any attention that she's given,
she is into it, and so that is also.

Speaker 5 (01:39:37):
A king yeah you know you like it just kind
of is all over.

Speaker 2 (01:39:42):
It's kind of a power move too, to like retweet
the hate.

Speaker 3 (01:39:46):
Oh yeah, she's embracing all of it. So she's she's
taking control of it, which also might.

Speaker 5 (01:39:52):
Be Bill's kink.

Speaker 1 (01:39:54):
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

(01:40:15):
be doing this just to get laid with somebody fifty
years younger than me, And what a gross look that is.

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
For him and his family.

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
I wonder, though, I said, you.

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
Think he's narcissistic enough to be like, I don't care,
this is worth it.

Speaker 5 (01:40:30):
I wonder if his kink is getting dumbed.

Speaker 1 (01:40:33):
Oh I got you he's getting off on being led
around by the nose in public.

Speaker 4 (01:40:41):
I like to be shamed.

Speaker 5 (01:40:43):
With this dirty hoodie.

Speaker 2 (01:40:45):
Yea holes in it. At home, he's got a leather hoodie.

Speaker 4 (01:40:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:40:53):
I like to be a sub in the body of
a sting ray.

Speaker 4 (01:40:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:40:58):
Snow and flour running up to it into accumulation.

Speaker 1 (01:41:01):
Please be safe on the roads. His torso does have
mollusk like qualities, doesn't it. It's just it's like it's
like weird.

Speaker 7 (01:41:09):
He's built.

Speaker 2 (01:41:10):
He's built like uh the who's a mankind?

Speaker 7 (01:41:15):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:41:15):
Yeah, well he's got much bigger breasts than than Mick
Foley though, I mean Bill Belichick has a solid C
cup right now.

Speaker 2 (01:41:22):
Sure, it's crazy. Kanakmaski is a real thing.

Speaker 4 (01:41:26):
Just keeps. That's a big word for man boobs.

Speaker 7 (01:41:28):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:41:28):
Yeah, okay, thank you for I learned something every day. Yeah,
show this shows you learned and anything.

Speaker 5 (01:41:32):
Yeah, I mean medical and compassionate.

Speaker 1 (01:41:34):
We aim to inform. That's why Mike's coming in here next.
Also snow Dog Charlie Batch before Billy Gardell takes over
in the nine o'clock.

Speaker 4 (01:41:41):
Hour, and music that's time and tested and listener approved.

Speaker 7 (01:41:44):
Hey, I'm joy to join the music.

Speaker 9 (01:41:46):
Your requests are on the Electric Launch at noon with
Michelle Michaels on DVE.

Speaker 10 (01:41:52):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center known for exceptional service,
Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service taxs.

Speaker 4 (01:42:00):
Sports is SUF Front team Bye Bridgeville plints 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 eighteen

(01:42:20):
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 twenty. This is much better.

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
Yes, two more assists for getting Malkin.

Speaker 4 (01:42:38):
He's got twenty six points in twenty five games and
he's plus three. Last year he had fifty points in
sixty eight games and he was minus twenty four. Again,
this is much better. Joey Beets got into these guys
a few things.

Speaker 6 (01:42:54):
When we actually have some defenseman this year that they're
should playing defense, and we're making some saves.

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
Making some saves as the big thing. But they're playing,
but it's not all.

Speaker 6 (01:43:06):
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 out a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
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 4 (01:43:32):
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 1 (01:43:43):
Well, but but Carlson literally said he was asked being
asked to do things I don't couldn't do.

Speaker 4 (01:43:48):
I don't believe them. Okay, I don't think SULLI them
was going out to go ahead, give up three three
all ones. We don't care.

Speaker 6 (01:43:54):
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 4 (01:44:11):
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 6 (01:44:18):
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 4 (01:44:27):
I mean, why not? It's interesting. I mean I didn't
think it was a remote consideration going into the season.
The only problem is is if mister Dubis, who's done
nothing but great work this year. But if you go
up against my boy Gen and I'm gonna think.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
You go sid You're gonna white Kindle, You're gonna wint Horecroft.

Speaker 4 (01:44:47):
Got you got that? You got that guy's coming up too.

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
He knows out of fourth line center, you wouldn't think.

Speaker 7 (01:44:53):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:44:55):
Thirteen seven and five for the Penguins, thirty one points.
They are now the wild card in the Eastern Conference.
I saw the Carlson comments. I think Carlson didn't like Sullivan,
and uh, 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

(01:45:17):
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 6 (01:45:27):
Could Carlson be's talking for other people though, and saying
that it was always push push, pushing. Guys like Graves
couldn't push the bucket. They didn't want the defense. And
maybe it's like he's saying that, like, hey, we you
guys here. Last year they couldn't play like being the thang,
but Sullivan wanted them to. And this year Water's going
to pick a spot, Shale pick a spot. But they're
not always constantly out of position.

Speaker 4 (01:45:48):
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 2 (01:46:06):
But they're not doing it nearly as much as it
they're not.

Speaker 6 (01:46:08):
I think they're just making better decisions and Mike, last segment,
you were talking about now's the time to ditch Jari.

Speaker 4 (01:46:14):
Yes, I'll tell you a guy who come.

Speaker 2 (01:46:16):
Playoff time, come deadline, you might be able to get
with underneath Graves contract. And he's playing pretty good for
a big defenseman to move it to deadline. 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.

Speaker 4 (01:46:36):
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 Tubas said he wanted to do
going in the last year was Yeah, they wanted to compete,
but they wanted to identify the next wave that's going
to make the teammate true contender. And boy, they got

(01:46:57):
some guys in college that are tearing it up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:01):
We lead the league in NCA in points or goals
and assists, both of them.

Speaker 4 (01:47:06):
Thirty three to fifteen. Patriots beat the Giants in Monday
Night Football last night. New England is eleven and two
and one man 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, two eighty two, two touchdowns,

(01:47:28):
no interceptions.

Speaker 2 (01:47:29):
Jackson Dart making you think we should have taken Jackson Dart.

Speaker 4 (01:47:33):
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 2 (01:47:42):
But you saw what the defense looks like without Derek Harmon.

Speaker 7 (01:47:45):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 4 (01:47:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:48):
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 felt like he's making a
lot of mistakes. But boy, he's gonna be good.

Speaker 4 (01:48:00):
If the wheels come off for the Steelers, it 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 all along.

Speaker 1 (01:48:09):
Billy Gardell is going to join us in the nine
o'clock hour, We're gonna check in with the snow Dog
Charlie Batch when we come back.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):

team looked a step slow.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
Post game show Ladies and gentlemen. Snowdog Charlie Madge, what's up?

Speaker 20 (01:49:53):
Turn back?

Speaker 16 (01:49:54):
Good morning?

Speaker 8 (01:49:55):
How are you?

Speaker 4 (01:49:56):
Charlie?

Speaker 1 (01:49:56):
Did you really get 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 21 (01:50:05):
Yeah, she almost slopped the heck out of me for sure,
But either way, we got that video.

Speaker 4 (01:50:10):
I was just so excited.

Speaker 21 (01:50:11):
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 2 (01:50:16):
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 7 (01:50:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:50:33):
I don't necessarily take vacations to go through 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 has
heated handlebars. It kind of runs itself, and it had
the snow as much. So like when I get an
opportunity to use it, that's where the excitement comes in.

(01:50:54):
So trust me, my neighbors are annoyed because I have
to wait to a certain time because I wasn't snowball
at four am if I could, but I tried to
wait till six point thirty respectfully, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:51:04):
Speaking of blowing the Steels defense this past week and
let up more rushing yards than they had in fifty years,
and it was the most ever in Akroscher Stadium since
they built the damn place.

Speaker 4 (01:51:18):
The Bills were not doing anything special.

Speaker 1 (01:51:21):
They basically ran out of the same you know, formation,
and ran variations of the same play over and over again,
and we couldn't stop it.

Speaker 21 (01:51:32):
Why not, Charlie, 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, they're going to continue to run the exact

(01:51:53):
same play.

Speaker 4 (01:51:54):
And that's what we and Mike talked about on the
post game.

Speaker 21 (01:51:56):
And I say that reminds me in our heyday, whenever
we were able to end 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 4 (01:52:15):
Charl Here's what I don't get. Some teams are bad
at run defense, So you're bad at run defense. How
can you be good at run defense against the Colts
and the Bears and historically awful against the Bills.

Speaker 21 (01:52:29):
And 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 on them taking that passing game
or at the running game away of forcing them to
beat you with the throw. But ultimately in Buffalo, he
just said, our offensive line is better than your defensive line.

Speaker 4 (01:52:49):
And that's essentially what you saw.

Speaker 21 (01:52:50):
And I think what's more alarming is the fact they
were missing her two starting to tackles and for them to.

Speaker 22 (01:52:55):
Rush in that particular matter.

Speaker 21 (01:52:56):
That's what it becomes frustrated because at this point of
the scene, and 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 here this week, So again, how do we get better?
And this is going to be one of those things

(01:53:18):
that we're all going to continue to shake our heads
because twelve weeks in the season, they have not proven
that they can stop the run.

Speaker 2 (01:53:23):
What is the bigger problem for Aaron Rodgers right now?

Speaker 1 (01:53:26):
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 21 (01:53:38):
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 scrimmage 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 putting that pressure

(01:54:00):
on the defense, nobody's going to be threatened.

Speaker 22 (01:54:03):
That's exactly what you're seeing here now.

Speaker 21 (01:54:05):
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 not He's going to do everything in this
power to get rid of a football So again, it's
just tough.

Speaker 2 (01:54:20):
Do you think any of his postgame comments ruffled feathers.

Speaker 21 (01:54:27):
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 too through the media. Who's not practicing I don't know.

(01:54:48):
But again, to make that comment at this particular point
of the season, he's talking to somebody.

Speaker 4 (01:54:53):
We just don't know who it is.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):
The fire coach Tomlin chance the booing of renegade. It
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

(01:55:17):
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 21 (01:55:31):
It's tough when you get to that particular point, especially
you know, at the end of the last season people
wanted changes. He said there was going to be changes made,
and essentially there was no changes made. So when you
come 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

(01:55:52):
this team.

Speaker 22 (01:55:52):
Was going to be better than what it is.

Speaker 21 (01:55:54):
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 I've heard this crowd literally say
fire the coach, but also booing renegade. 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

(01:56:14):
it goes from here. When you talk about being the
leader this is your chance to prove that you can
change that narrative.

Speaker 22 (01:56:20):
So this is going to be a tough task to
convince Steelers.

Speaker 4 (01:56:23):
Nation that he is that guy moving forward.

Speaker 22 (01:56:26):
He has to get it done this week.

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
What's their best hope to beat the Ravens on Sunday.

Speaker 21 (01:56:32):
Well stopping a run and literally when you get to
that point and just looking at that time of possession,
this defense is higher.

Speaker 22 (01:56:40):
There's no question about it.

Speaker 21 (01:56:41):
Offensively, they're going to have to give a defense a
rest by that time controlling that time of possession. But
if they don't, man, you know Baltimore's formula for success,
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 teams taken advantage of it.

Speaker 22 (01:57:01):
So we're going to see a heavy dose of Derek Henry.

Speaker 21 (01:57:04):
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 the hurry. But again, they can't
go from outside the building to bring someone in.

Speaker 22 (01:57:14):
They have to do it internally. So somebody's gonna have
to step.

Speaker 2 (01:57:17):
Up Charlie, busy time of year for all you guys
at the Batch Foundation.

Speaker 4 (01:57:20):
What's the latest.

Speaker 23 (02:00:09):
I'm uping a bob brother, I'm uping about. The pulse
is right, the heart's beating. I'm doing all right that
lest time. I'll tell you last.

Speaker 4 (02:00:20):
Yeah, great to see you.

Speaker 1 (02:00:24):
You needed a little a little, a little Pittsburgh to
almost kill you and save you at the same time.

Speaker 2 (02:00:30):
Uh, you do look good. I'm glad things are going back.

Speaker 7 (02:00:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:00:34):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:00:35):
I we were just talking about Thanksgiving in that rewind
clip there from last week. I ate my final Thanksgiving
dinner last night and I texted Abby and I was like,
I'm like I just had a legit huge plate of
Thanksgiving because that I had it all left right, and
I'm like, I don't want to eat this after today

(02:00:57):
because Abby had this news story yesterday about how that was.

Speaker 2 (02:01:00):
You know, it goes bad, and uh, I just loaded
it up.

Speaker 19 (02:01:03):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:01:03):
I got done working out and I'm like, I'm having
another Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (02:01:07):
Bad mistake, huge mistake, knocked me right out again.

Speaker 2 (02:01:11):
I'm on the couch.

Speaker 4 (02:01:11):
I'm like, why did I do that?

Speaker 24 (02:01:13):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:01:14):
It was so delicious though, it was so good, And
I'm like sopping up the last of the gravy with
some freshly toasted stuff in because I always reheat the
stuffing in an oven.

Speaker 2 (02:01:24):
I never put it in a microwave, that is correct.
You gotta like a little bit of stock, yes, soften
it up.

Speaker 14 (02:01:32):
You got to bring it back to life, bring it
back to exactly.

Speaker 12 (02:01:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:01:35):
By Sunday. By Sunday, it's like walking through mud. You
just can't get your feet out right, and by Sunday
you just no more candy, no more gravy, no more place.
For the love of God, don't bring anything else in
this house.

Speaker 1 (02:01:48):
I was telling them that I did do something smart
with a lot of the leftover turkey that I had
the carcass turkey that you like, shave off of the carcass.

Speaker 2 (02:01:56):
I made a turkey soup with it that was like this.
It was kind of an Italian suit.

Speaker 1 (02:02:01):
It was like white bean kale and and dice tomatoes
and you know, you do it with the garlic and
all that stuff and fry it up for a while
and get all the aroma and all that and it
you know, it's still turkey, but you got an Italian
kind of vibe to it.

Speaker 2 (02:02:15):
So you're not getting that like gravy mashed potatoes.

Speaker 14 (02:02:19):
Did you did you put the neck bone in?

Speaker 15 (02:02:22):
No?

Speaker 22 (02:02:22):
I didn't go that far.

Speaker 2 (02:02:24):
No, No, I just I just sliced off a bunch
of meat.

Speaker 23 (02:02:28):
Did you wear a scarf? Did you wear a scarf
as your head while you were doing.

Speaker 2 (02:02:32):
No, I did a very I know that you're supposed
to like boil the carcass and all of that, but
I didn't get into it, like make your own stock.
I didn't do that, because that's how that's when it's
really good. Oh you have the chicken neck fat or
the turkey neck fat and the soup. Right, Yeah, I
didn't go through any of that.

Speaker 8 (02:02:49):
I made it.

Speaker 2 (02:02:49):
I made a whimpier version of it.

Speaker 1 (02:02:51):
But hey, for me, it was like I was happy
to just have an alternative use of the turkey because
I I think I'm turkey down for a while.

Speaker 23 (02:02:58):
After after a while, you just have to change its
form to keep eating it. Right, you're liquefied. You did good,
You just have to change its polarity.

Speaker 2 (02:03:07):
Yes, I was damn near ready to put some some
you know, cumin and paprika on it and do turkey tacos.
So I think that was the better solution.

Speaker 7 (02:03:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:03:18):
How many people did you end up having?

Speaker 14 (02:03:19):
Did good? We ended up? We did.

Speaker 23 (02:03:22):
I think we ended up with twenty, which is good.
That's we usually average twenty to twenty five out here. Well,
you got the family, you make. My mom came out.
We'll come home with his girl, and then we take
in a few strays.

Speaker 15 (02:03:34):
You know.

Speaker 23 (02:03:34):
I put a few saucers of milk out front. We're
taking a few straight.

Speaker 6 (02:03:38):
That's a testament to how many people love Billy Gardell.
Oh yeah, twenty people.

Speaker 14 (02:03:43):
Twenty people in LA.

Speaker 2 (02:03:45):
It's like, did you have U two in your backyard?
In San Francisco, we used to have like sixty to
eighty people.

Speaker 7 (02:03:53):
In LA.

Speaker 2 (02:03:54):
We get like twenty people who all bitch did they
had to drive into It was like they stay.

Speaker 23 (02:03:59):
Home, Joe, I got rules, I've got most of the
folks been coming here and it's the same faces for
thirty years. It's like it's like that scene in Goodfellas.
It's the same card scene and pouring water on Joey O'Connell's.

Speaker 14 (02:04:10):
Side, you know what I mean.

Speaker 23 (02:04:12):
We're it's all the same crew out here. It's pretty
much the same faces and one or two new ones.
But but you got to be vetted before you get
into my house, like I would have you over, Joe.
There's not a lot of people I have at my house.

Speaker 7 (02:04:24):
Oh thank you. I may be.

Speaker 23 (02:04:26):
I always have people say I always have people say
like they'll say dumb stuff like yeah, we'll drop by, man,
where are you at? And I'm like, you know, just
don't worry about that. You don't need to worry about that.
You're not coming to my house. Yeah, right, Well we'll
meet at the coffee shop until I know you for
ten years, then you get to come to the house.

Speaker 2 (02:04:43):
Well, no one really drops by in La though. That's
not even a drop by.

Speaker 23 (02:04:48):
No, no one's drop nobody's popping in, nothing popping house
the house.

Speaker 2 (02:04:53):
Your friendship equates to where they live and of you.

Speaker 23 (02:04:57):
Well, yeah, and in Los Angele it was too man,
it's so big. The city's so big, like if you
I live in the valley. So if you're moving to
Santa Monica, that's the end of our friendship.

Speaker 14 (02:05:09):
I'm not coming. I'm never that's it's for.

Speaker 23 (02:05:12):
It's what seven miles, it'll take you two and a
half hour to get them. Like, you might as well
be moving to Estonia. You're just going to a different
part of the It's like Europe. Unless there's a train
they build, I'm not coming to see. If ever a
town would have benefited from a train, it was Los Angeles,
Oh my god, yes absolutely, we have. I think the
whole after being in Europe seeing that rail system, we

(02:05:35):
really missed the boat.

Speaker 14 (02:05:36):
Because they got the rail system over there for passengers.

Speaker 23 (02:05:40):
Then they got a rail system for freight, but it
is the easiest way to travel around the country, causes
no pollution, saves energy, and if.

Speaker 14 (02:05:47):
What's cooler than being on a train.

Speaker 23 (02:05:49):
Anytime I step on a train, I pretend I'm I'm
Hercuro Paro and there's a murder.

Speaker 4 (02:05:53):
Mystery going on.

Speaker 7 (02:05:54):
I love it.

Speaker 12 (02:05:55):
I love it.

Speaker 23 (02:05:55):
We should all be riding the train. Listen when the
robots come get us. I'm I'm I'm jumping on.

Speaker 14 (02:06:01):
A train somewhere.

Speaker 2 (02:06:02):
I'm not going to train, you'll already.

Speaker 23 (02:06:04):
I'm gonna buy like a wild Wild West. I'm gonna
buy like a wild Wild West car.

Speaker 14 (02:06:09):
Just travel all over the country that way. Don't don't, don't, don't,
don't don't.

Speaker 2 (02:06:15):
I still think we can just unplug the robots. I'm
still like, just turn it off.

Speaker 23 (02:06:19):
Yeah, Joe, do you feel like I feel like it's
starting to be a little smoke, you know what I mean?

Speaker 14 (02:06:27):
I feel like I'm not so sure they're as far.

Speaker 23 (02:06:29):
Advanced as they think they are, you know what i mean.
I'm starting to think there might be a little smoke
behind this. I'm not so sure anymore.

Speaker 6 (02:06:36):
Well, I've said this on stage up for a couple
of months, like like Grady said, can't we I'm plug
the computers and then just throw water on them.

Speaker 12 (02:06:50):
Saves the world is app them out like a JS.

Speaker 2 (02:07:04):
We're gonna we're gonna lose Facebook, Like, oh my god,
we're gonna have to remember everyone's birthdays again.

Speaker 23 (02:07:10):
Like, Man, wasn't that my my deep prayer every night,
Joe is the Internet gets so ridiculous that we all
give up on it and look up again.

Speaker 14 (02:07:20):
That's my prayer. That's that's one of my pro Please
let it.

Speaker 23 (02:07:24):
It's got to at some point, it's gonna get to
the point where nobody believes anything on the Internet at all.
And when we reached that, then it'll collapse and we
can get back to the mall. Can we go back
to the mall? Like I want to see I want
to go into Spencer's gifts. I want to go look
for CDs. I want to go see a movie. I
want an Orange Julius. Why can't we just please, for

(02:07:45):
the love of God, hit the rewind hit.

Speaker 4 (02:07:47):
The playing.

Speaker 14 (02:07:50):
Like what happened to that?

Speaker 2 (02:07:51):
What happened to that? And not like coaching organized just
ten kids in the park. Someone's gonna get hurt, Someone's
gonna and that's where you learn life, all life's lessons
out in the streets.

Speaker 23 (02:08:04):
The Adventure. We rode bikes in a slag dump. Now
I'm like, text me when you get there, Text me
who's going with you? Text me how long are you
gonna be the text when you go away? Text tex
tex text I need to know everything.

Speaker 14 (02:08:16):
I'm not even sure my father knew I was out
of the house.

Speaker 4 (02:08:19):
Was she here?

Speaker 14 (02:08:21):
Is he here? I haven't sit where is he?

Speaker 2 (02:08:23):
I was hanging out in the woods with dudes who
ended up in jail for life. But at a young age,
I knew like I should probably not hang out with
this guy. This guy is scary, and I just keep
my huffy within the you know.

Speaker 14 (02:08:40):
A radio.

Speaker 2 (02:08:41):
Yeah, I just hop on that and get out of here.

Speaker 4 (02:08:45):
And things getting weird.

Speaker 14 (02:08:47):
Going on.

Speaker 1 (02:08:49):
We're ten years old. He's smoking. You know, maybe this
isn't the wagon to hitch my star to.

Speaker 4 (02:08:57):
Uh, but you know, uh.

Speaker 1 (02:08:58):
Bill Joe Bartneck does have the brilliant idea of of
just throwing water on the robots when they come to attack.
Love this because you'd have to think that the other
like robot army members would have to be like man
and then put down their weapons and go grab the
one that got water on it and then go put
it in rice for a while, like.

Speaker 2 (02:09:19):
They're performing. Like that's what their robot medics do.

Speaker 23 (02:09:23):
We need those old we need them, like old football
sprinklers those out there, you know that they would do
the football field with once a week.

Speaker 14 (02:09:35):
That that's the that's the machine gun we need.

Speaker 2 (02:09:38):
Hey, hey, that was a big time fun in the
seventies at Pittsburgh, Billy run through.

Speaker 14 (02:09:43):
That was free, that was free washed.

Speaker 6 (02:09:44):
Oh yeah, that's sprinkler. Like we're not going to the wavepool.
We're gonna run the sprinkler for a while.

Speaker 23 (02:09:50):
Well, nobody was driving us to the wave We must
have lived in a nice part of town.

Speaker 14 (02:09:54):
My dad's like, no, we're not, No, we're not going
up there. That's crowded.

Speaker 2 (02:09:58):
Oh dude, run through the sprinklers.

Speaker 1 (02:10:00):
I was watching there's this the documentarian named Les Blank
who it was like his eightieth birthday or Shay or something,
and they had a special on some of his old documentaries,
which are great.

Speaker 2 (02:10:08):
A lot of them are in Louisiana.

Speaker 1 (02:10:09):
He did a bunch of like late sixties, early seventies
in like Cajun country and I mean he's interviewing the
poorest of the poor, you know, in these very unique areas.

Speaker 2 (02:10:21):
Of the world. And this one woman was talking about
how she grew up and she's like, no, we had like,
you know, twenty of us living in this house, and
we would eat and talk and then we would sing songs,
and then we'd just curl up on the floor and
then you go to sleep, and we'd wake up and

(02:10:42):
we just talk to one another about life. And now
you can't talk to nobody because a TV and radio.
And she's saying this stuff in like nineteen seventies, right,
and she's like, life just got way too fast, you know.
And she's got like this awesome cage and drawl. And
I'm sitting here thinking, like, lady, you have no idea.

(02:11:03):
How crazy Scott. Since then, my grandmother would always say
television was the ruination of this country. You never saw
the internet.

Speaker 14 (02:11:12):
Yeah right, yeah, the Internet, the Internet. We went too far.
I if we have to pick, I think.

Speaker 2 (02:11:19):
Hold on a second. Okay, TV Mike ruined us a.

Speaker 14 (02:11:26):
Little a little, A little bit of escapism is good.

Speaker 23 (02:11:29):
But the difference was when you watched a television show
or a movie and you saw a psycho.

Speaker 14 (02:11:34):
You turned that off and you went, Man, that was
a that's that's a good actor. R. Wow, that was scary.

Speaker 23 (02:11:41):
You see a psycho on the internet, You're like, that
guy's walking around.

Speaker 14 (02:11:46):
That's real.

Speaker 23 (02:11:48):
I'm not leaving a house. I'm getting my garden hose
ready for the invasion.

Speaker 14 (02:11:53):
That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 4 (02:11:56):
Oh man.

Speaker 1 (02:11:57):
It just struck me though, the idea that people used
to like they'd sit around and talk and they're you know,
and then music less.

Speaker 23 (02:12:04):
Cause cause I left the house at seventeen. If that
was my life growing up, I think I'd have been
out at nine. I'm like, I can't hear this story
one more time. Give me my Huckleberry Finn package and
I'm gone. I can't get me a stick with a
bandana on it.

Speaker 4 (02:12:21):
I'm out.

Speaker 1 (02:12:21):
But not having like living in a house with a
younger family now, I can't imagine how hard it is
to like and you guys dealt with this with Wilster
and Joe.

Speaker 2 (02:12:29):
You you dealt it with to a degree with your daughter.

Speaker 1 (02:12:33):
Is that once the handheld devices and the machines come
in and Abby you're battling it right now? Is like,
how does a family even interact with each other anymore.
Is it just like every other relationship where everybody is
just like you're living next to a person, not with
a person.

Speaker 23 (02:12:50):
I'll tell you how you walk through the living room
like again's your father and go put that down?

Speaker 2 (02:12:55):
No, yeah, put it down right.

Speaker 14 (02:12:58):
You got to hit the dome, you hit the diamond skirts.

Speaker 5 (02:13:02):
Put some sign on it.

Speaker 3 (02:13:04):
I actually over the break, I took my daughter to
the Children's Museum, which she's nine, and I kind of thought.

Speaker 5 (02:13:11):
Like, I wonder if we're past this being.

Speaker 3 (02:13:16):
Like within her age range, Like is this kind of
almost be too babyish for her? Because also she does
have access to YouTube and to a degree she kind
of sees things tangentially on Instagram, and so things move
really quickly, and I almost wonder at times it's a
brain just too broken for tactile.

Speaker 5 (02:13:36):
We're gonna play with Clay for a little while, and
so I but I took her to the.

Speaker 3 (02:13:42):
Museum and I had a child back It's it was
kind of wild to me how quickly they really do
snap back in to play and imagination. Because also what's
great about her, and it might be because she's an
only child, is that there were rooms that I would
take her to and I was kind of thinking like

(02:14:03):
it was going to be just the two of us,
and that, you know, I was going to have to
be equally engaged in the play in every single room.
But there would be rooms where she's like, I'm gonna
go jump on that, I'll be back, and she would
just ghost me and she's gone and she's doing her
own things. So like it is taking them out of
that environment. And even actually last night she said to me,

(02:14:24):
do you think I use a You think I have
a little too much screen time?

Speaker 19 (02:14:28):
And I said.

Speaker 3 (02:14:30):
What, And she said, I think maybe I get a
little too much. She's like Leo was over tonight and
he says, his mom only lets him have thirty minutes
a day. I feel like I get longer than that.
I'm like, yeah, but you can't yell at me when
I take it away from you.

Speaker 1 (02:14:44):
Well, maybe maybe the kids will grow up much like
the above twenty one generation now that drinks in a
much lower proportion compared to when we went through that
age group, Like it's drinking and by a percentage of
the population at its lowest point since the nineteen thirties

(02:15:05):
right now, So maybe they'll recognize our own folly of
letting them have access to digital cigarettes basically, and go like, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (02:15:14):
Don't actually want that.

Speaker 23 (02:15:16):
Well, they think they're finally yeah, they're finally doing that
in schools where they're like put your phone away, like
they're finally catching on. But look at an entire generation,
like Will's generation, half of their brain got melted, and
not by any fault of their own. One, they got
hit with this stuff. Two when the lockdowns came, they
were on a screen for two years, literally two years,

(02:15:40):
just stuck staring at screens.

Speaker 14 (02:15:42):
And I think it's had an effect. Man.

Speaker 23 (02:15:45):
I think social media hit a generation that we I
always say we overcompensated. You know, we raised a generation
of housecats because we were feral. So I think social
media hit a generation it just wasn't built like we.
I think if social media would have hit back with us,
I don't think it would have been as big. I

(02:16:05):
like to believe that, I just don't think it would
have been as I think it would have been. Like
I'm going to the concert, Dude, I don't have any
time for that right now. Oh that guy stay put
his lips together. Great, I gotta run. You know what,
I mean, I just I think there would have been
a little more gen X on that.

Speaker 6 (02:16:20):
I agree with you, really, I think that the lockdown
definitely created a much bigger monster because it was really
the only game in town.

Speaker 14 (02:16:30):
Yeah. Yeah, that was the only way they could connect
with each other. And then who knows. You know, you
never know what your kids are doing.

Speaker 23 (02:16:36):
You hope for the best, you know, you hope you're
talking sense to them, you hope they're making good decisions.

Speaker 14 (02:16:41):
But there's still kids, you know, you know, you never know,
and you don't know.

Speaker 23 (02:16:44):
I used to always go up to Will's room and
I go like this, I go, did you join a cult?
And he'd go no, I go is the Earth round
or flat?

Speaker 14 (02:16:54):
He'd go round? I'd go continue, and then.

Speaker 2 (02:16:59):
Landing happened.

Speaker 23 (02:17:01):
Yeah, do you think the moon is a spaceship? Do
I need to straighten you up? Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:17:06):
Good, all right, Abby, you got something for us here.

Speaker 3 (02:17:08):
You know, I will say that as much as we
were talking about maybe television being you know, the beginning
of all of our ruin, or radio.

Speaker 5 (02:17:16):
To some degree, never make it, Molly, No, those are
the things that we say.

Speaker 14 (02:17:23):
Now it's offecially off there. Now that's just.

Speaker 7 (02:17:28):
It's not.

Speaker 15 (02:17:30):
Well.

Speaker 5 (02:17:30):
In that case, then television is terrible. Until you were
talking to brothers.

Speaker 3 (02:17:36):
Uh, there are a lot of class, classic Christmas movies
that are going to be hitting the theater chance, yes,
this month, So a couple of the favorites, and then
you tell me if there's something that's missing here.

Speaker 24 (02:17:46):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:17:47):
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is going to be hosted by
a MC Theaters and Regal Cinemas, So that's going to
be back in theater.

Speaker 2 (02:17:53):
My brother is going to a screening of Christmas Vacation
with Chevy Chase just doing a Q and eight.

Speaker 1 (02:18:01):
He's not sitting next to my brother. It's like at
a theater and he's paying to do it. That's like
a thing that's happening quite a bit now, which I
like this trend.

Speaker 23 (02:18:08):
You know what's really cool for our generation is I
don't know if they're doing a nation why, but the
arc guight's out here. They once a month they show
a classic movie, like they just did The Breakfast Club
for a weekend last month, they did Taddy Shack and
they show these and those movies are filled.

Speaker 14 (02:18:26):
It's filled.

Speaker 23 (02:18:27):
You know, you can go to a new movie there's
twelve people in there, but those classics are filled and
it's just super fun night out. For Father's Day, we
went and saw Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. So
I love the fact that our group is like, yeah,
just run them old ones for us, We'll go back.

Speaker 14 (02:18:42):
To the theater. I think I love that whole process.

Speaker 5 (02:18:46):
This is crazy to me that how the Grinch stole Christmas?

Speaker 3 (02:18:48):
Which is this is the Jim Carrey one is celebrated
twenty fifth anniversary.

Speaker 14 (02:18:53):
Yeah, that's when you realize.

Speaker 23 (02:18:55):
When you turn on the oldies and you hear Duran Duran,
You're like, wow, I have slipped it. I have slipped
the timeline. I'm on a different timeline and you like
them now. I love them, I love them, I love
them at the time.

Speaker 4 (02:19:10):
Would you shut up, dude?

Speaker 14 (02:19:12):
No, I love the class I know what are you
talking about?

Speaker 4 (02:19:15):
Talking about?

Speaker 2 (02:19:16):
My sisters always like, well, why couldn't you just say
that you like Duran Duran back then?

Speaker 4 (02:19:20):
And I'm like it just it's.

Speaker 2 (02:19:22):
Because every dude would have just hammered you for being
a homo.

Speaker 1 (02:19:27):
And like, back then, homophobia was so rampant, we were
so ignorant, especially at that age that was like an
argument you did not want to try to get into
at all.

Speaker 4 (02:19:36):
No, no like, which is bringing up in high school.

Speaker 23 (02:19:43):
I was like, guys, I love the clash, but it's
we're seven dudes and none of us smell good. All
the girls are dancing to Duran Durant, which, by the way,
that album, and then we have something to talk to
them about.

Speaker 4 (02:19:56):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (02:19:57):
Which is all done by Nile Rogers, like the funk
Master producing all of that stuff.

Speaker 23 (02:20:02):
Brilliant, Yeah, probably the best, one of the best bassists
in music.

Speaker 2 (02:20:06):
Yeah, Taylor, you know what I mean.

Speaker 14 (02:20:08):
And a brilliant band all. But back then you're too.

Speaker 1 (02:20:12):
Because yeah, it was too insecure. I was a kid,
but you have like you know, any band that had
makeup on that wasn't kiss, you'd be like, I wouldn't
listen to those girds.

Speaker 2 (02:20:20):
Hot chicks in the videos though. I was pro Duran Duran.

Speaker 1 (02:20:23):
Were you, Well, you're a big enough guy to get
away with blaking whoever you liked back then?

Speaker 4 (02:20:27):
No act, he did like Thean Duran. That's a good song.

Speaker 15 (02:20:29):
I do too.

Speaker 14 (02:20:29):
I think they're fantastic, man. I've seen him twice at
the Bowl since and top of my.

Speaker 23 (02:20:36):
Lungs Ran Duran exactly. The girls weren't dancing to London's Burning,
they weren't.

Speaker 5 (02:20:46):
Elf the Polar Express Love.

Speaker 14 (02:20:49):
Accent Polar Express.

Speaker 23 (02:20:50):
Ye, that's my double feature for Christmas, Puller Express Polar
Express every Christmas Eve, and I time it so that
I make whoever's ever watching and make the chocolate when
they do that scene and I come running out and
bring chocolate to everything, want everybody. Yeah, I was the
first Imax real experience, and then after that we watched

(02:21:12):
die Hard, so that that's my double feature for Christmas.
Christmas Christmas tell Hans Gruber goes off to knock to
temmy tower Christmas.

Speaker 2 (02:21:22):
R Christmas movie was always Full Metal Jacket. Well that's
an interesting one, real, yeah, because we always have sixty
comics that works, like sixty comics and the punchline staff
over and it's like the argument, so like, you know,
twenty five years ago, I just like, we're just gonna
watch Full Metal Jacket and I'm thinking, you know, happy birthday,
baby gesusay birthday to ye and it's I mean, I

(02:21:46):
love that movie. Ay joke?

Speaker 4 (02:21:49):
Does this mean? And Margaret's not coming? The greatest movie lines.

Speaker 2 (02:21:54):
Ever, that movie is so awesome. Just be it's two
separate movies, and they it works perfectly as one piece.

Speaker 4 (02:22:03):
Oh it's the best. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:22:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:22:05):
Billy Gardell live from Los Angeles, California with us this morning.
Mike's coming in. I mean, I know you were reeling
like us from that Steelers game. Dude, dude, they boot renegade,
they boot renegade, they were chanting fire.

Speaker 23 (02:22:17):
Mike Tomlin, Well, you know, I don't know. I don't
I don't know at this point what to do. I
start with hope, I end in despair. And that's been
my season, you know what I mean.

Speaker 14 (02:22:30):
Every every week I start with, all right, well let's
let's see, let's just take a look. We don't know
it could have we stink and it's just brutal.

Speaker 1 (02:22:41):
That was a beatables, beatable Bills team, beatables, yes, and
a beatable Bears team.

Speaker 2 (02:22:47):
I thought the week before, I mean, I think if.

Speaker 1 (02:22:49):
They had their bleep together a little bit more under
coach Tomlin, that those were two teams that you could
have coached victory.

Speaker 2 (02:22:56):
But they got out coached in both of those games.
Ben Johnson and company and Cargo schooled. Uh, Tomlin and
his I think welterweight staff. And that's part of the
problem of coaching.

Speaker 14 (02:23:08):
I just, yeah, dude, you got you.

Speaker 23 (02:23:10):
I think you got If you have that much talent
on defense and you aren't steaming or making adjustments, I
think that falls on coaching and and and without the
defense showing up last week, they may have scored fifty.

Speaker 4 (02:23:24):
You know what I want.

Speaker 14 (02:23:25):
I want to may have scored fifty.

Speaker 2 (02:23:27):
I want to coach where I don't have to hear
the word scheme every day in analyzah, so sick.

Speaker 14 (02:23:34):
Of say, did you watch did you watch New Did
you watch New England last night?

Speaker 4 (02:23:38):
A little bit?

Speaker 2 (02:23:39):
Only a little bit of the Pens and flyers.

Speaker 23 (02:23:41):
Around just playing football, playing football everybody in there, so
you could tell Vrabel has that team. I wanted him
to his personality. I don't know where our personality is
right now. We don't look like the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 4 (02:23:54):
I don't understand the scheme.

Speaker 7 (02:23:55):
Bill.

Speaker 6 (02:23:56):
If you keep running the same running play, can't you
just say that's what I'm say, Stand there and when
someone runs by you tackle them.

Speaker 4 (02:24:03):
I mean, you don't.

Speaker 6 (02:24:05):
You don't need nine hours in the film study to
realize they're running that play. Hey, let's put somebody over
there that might hit some play.

Speaker 14 (02:24:12):
Hey, this looks familiar exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:24:15):
TJ.

Speaker 1 (02:24:15):
Watt went on the podium after the game and basically said,
I've never seen the same play run so much to
so much success, and it's like they're running.

Speaker 2 (02:24:22):
Right over him, like you know, he's getting triple.

Speaker 4 (02:24:24):
Teams and I don't. I don't know. It's it's it's
aggravating beyond belief.

Speaker 1 (02:24:29):
And coach Tomlin's Tomlin Tuesday today is gonna be a
real entertaining half an hour or twenty eight minutes, whatever
that ends up being. But hold on, let me do
a break and we'll come in. Michael join us here
and talk a little bit about that. And well, you
know the fact that Sidney Crosby still owns the Flyers.
Two goals last night for the captain and they take

(02:24:50):

Speaker 4 (02:25:51):
KI three two Wow Live from the Downs.

Speaker 1 (02:25:55):
Applying at Joe Barnick in studio and Billy Gardelle Live
in Los Angeles, California, and Mike Pursuda Now with your
sports on DVE Sports brought to.

Speaker 4 (02:26:04):
You by Bridgeville appli Its five to one Penguins over
the Flyers last night and shot a Sidney Crosby to
flick his usual damage in Philadelphia two goals for the Penguins.
Captain Joe Bartnck probably knows these stats by heart, but
for the rest of us ninety two career games played

(02:26:25):
against the Flyers for Crosby, fifty nine goals and one
hundred and thirty seven points.

Speaker 2 (02:26:32):
Wow against Philly doing the Lord's work.

Speaker 14 (02:26:36):
The kid, Yeah, anytime you beat Philly, that's nice.

Speaker 4 (02:26:41):
Brian Rust picking up where Crosby left off. He had
a goal and to assist for three points. He's got
twenty nine points in thirty seven career games against the Flyers.
Not Crosby like, but getting there Eric Carlson to assist.
He moves into sole possession of eighth place among all
time Swedish born players in NHL scoring. He's got eight

(02:27:04):
hundred and eighty seven career points. Matt Sundean leads that
list with thirteen hundred and forty nine and last, but
not least, I buried the lead. Penguins gave up two
goals or fewer for the eleventh time this season. They're
eight zho to three. When that happens, you keep it

(02:27:24):
out of your net. You win a lot of games.
Who knew? Who knew? I mean two goals are fewer
and eleven of twenty five games.

Speaker 1 (02:27:32):
That's getting in the neighborhood a half better defense in
front of Jari, helping him to look a little more
more everything palatable.

Speaker 4 (02:27:39):
Better everything, commitment to defense. They've played well enough defensively
that I think they might be able to dump Jari
on Edmonton.

Speaker 2 (02:27:51):
You are hoping for that trade me right off?

Speaker 7 (02:27:53):
And now.

Speaker 4 (02:27:55):
Now hang up?

Speaker 7 (02:27:57):
No, I you know, and.

Speaker 4 (02:28:00):
Joe to your point about the defense, if thinking get
out from one of the graves contract, Oh my win win.

Speaker 2 (02:28:06):
Yeah, he's playing very well. You never know, someone goes down.

Speaker 6 (02:28:10):
He's playing well enough to play a top six, you know,
or five to six on a playoff team.

Speaker 4 (02:28:17):
Right now, Trey Jarry and him to Edmonton for Paul Coffee.
Oh wait, they did that already, future consideration. Yeah, Pens
are thirteen to seven and five thirty one points. That's
got him back in the wildcard picture in the Eastern Conference.
Pens and Flyers are the two wildcards in the Eastern
Conference with thirty one points. They're both just three points

(02:28:37):
behind Metropolitan Division leading Carolina Pens are next in action
on Thursday night at Tampa and then Saturday. Then they
play Dallas on December of the seventh.

Speaker 2 (02:28:52):
So sauw a joke. It's cornball, but I love it.

Speaker 4 (02:28:55):
On Twitter the other day, the Toronto Maple Leafs are
last in the division and in the Eastern Conference playoff
picture and it was the old one of the Maple
League seven. Common with the Titanic, they're both at the
bottom of the Atlantics. Any time you can poke fun

(02:29:16):
at the Maple Leafs something favorite of that.

Speaker 2 (02:29:17):
Yeah, well, there's plenty of opportunity to.

Speaker 4 (02:29:20):
Thirty three fifteen. He knew the Patriots over the New
York Football Giants on Monday Night Football Last night, Pats.

Speaker 14 (02:29:26):
Are eleven and comber Mike Conference.

Speaker 4 (02:29:29):
It's about times somebody did the Giants are the long eleven.
Drake May continued his resurgence twenty four or thirty one,
two hundred and eighty two passing yards, two touchdowns and
no interceptions. Jackson dart seventeen of twenty four, but he
only had one hundred and thirty nine yards through the air,
one touchdown, no picks, and he got lit up once

(02:29:50):
on a rundown the sideline. His credit, he didn't whine
about it. He said that's football. Yeah. I like that, dude.

Speaker 1 (02:29:56):
He might be one of those guys who knocks himself
right out of the game though. I mean he's fresh
off of concussion and he's still doing dumb stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:30:02):
Well, Jad's got one of those already, Scato, Yeah, who
has knocked himself out of the game.

Speaker 1 (02:30:08):
Yeah, and then did ww raw like a week later.
These guys are just these are not geniuses.

Speaker 4 (02:30:18):
Pretty Arizona, Michigan, Duke, and yukon of your top five
teams in the Lads State Peek College Basketball Top twenty five,
Ducade hosts William and Mary Tonight at seven, Pit hosts
Texas A and M at seven, and Penn State host
Campbell at six.

Speaker 1 (02:30:32):
First place in the AFC North is on the line
Sunday at one o'clock in Baltimore when the Steelers face
the Ravens, and if their run defense looks anything like
what we saw on Sunday against the Bills, Derrick Henry
will set a record for in game rushing performance because
they couldn't tackle anybody and they got blown off the

(02:30:56):
line the whole game, and no matter what they did,
they couldn't stop it.

Speaker 2 (02:30:59):
So but but here's a great hope for the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (02:31:04):
If there's one guy who will be stupid enough to
not just try to repeat that, it's John Harbaugh.

Speaker 4 (02:31:09):
He'll go you know what.

Speaker 2 (02:31:10):
They they know the run is coming. So obviously we
cannot choose.

Speaker 4 (02:31:19):
He's done that before.

Speaker 25 (02:31:19):
I'm gonna drink the poison exactly, not the poison that
you think the poison is inconceivable exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:31:26):
He turns into Walla Sean. He's done it before with
the Steelers. He just overthinks it. So the problem with
this matchup is that that's what we're left to.

Speaker 8 (02:31:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:31:36):
They have bad coaches too. That well, it's the NFL.
A lot of goofy stuff happened, so they could win
any given Sunday. Steelers Ravens.

Speaker 6 (02:31:45):
Usually it's great when teams would run on us because
at least they're not passing.

Speaker 4 (02:31:54):
Running takes longer. I just decided get it over with
him passing terrible.

Speaker 6 (02:32:00):
Oh like yeah, okay, but yeah, it used to be like,
oh a run was like okay, at least they're not
throwing you, right.

Speaker 14 (02:32:07):
Jo and Mikey? What's that?

Speaker 23 (02:32:09):
Old John McKay quote, how do you feel about your
team's execution?

Speaker 4 (02:32:12):
I'm all for yeah, quick break and we'll be right back.

Speaker 19 (02:32:17):
I know.

Speaker 1 (02:32:17):
Pittsburgh Reddit Abbey is some suggestions for the people dooing Renegade.

Speaker 3 (02:32:22):
Yeah, the chats with chatting yesterday because obviously Renegade doesn't
have the same magic anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:32:27):
They want to replace the song. So some suggestions coming
our way.

Speaker 7 (02:32:30):
That's next.

Speaker 9 (02:32:30):
DV Chad Tyson turns your car into a sonic playground
at every weekday afternoon. He's got a reloaded cut from
the DV morning show Sports and a workforce commercial free
hour at three afternoons with Chad Tyson on DV.

Speaker 5 (02:32:47):
My dad pulled double shifts at the Pittsburgh Mills.

Speaker 2 (02:32:50):
My mom showed me compassion. Dad taught me grit radio
home in the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 1 (02:32:56):
Want to two point five DV DV morning show Joe
Bartneck hanging out with us this morning. Also Billiard Live
in Los Angeles, California. They booed Renegade on Sunday at
Acrocure Stadium, and that's first time I'm aware of that
Renegade has ever been booed.

Speaker 2 (02:33:17):
For the record. I used to boo Renegade in my
head every year, Can we get Block Sabbath? Can we
get for those?

Speaker 4 (02:33:28):
To the story? He always so good?

Speaker 25 (02:33:32):
Artsy band from that is the young I would Brian
have been Johnson. I want Metallica, I would I want
that man see me Joe crushing somebody still?

Speaker 4 (02:33:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (02:33:53):
That actually.

Speaker 4 (02:33:55):
Sure? When you play something after you just got stuffed
on fourth and two down sixteen with ten minutes left
at the back end of a crap performance like that,
anything was getting booted.

Speaker 1 (02:34:06):
Well, I agree that the placement of that was the problem.
It wasn't just that it was Renegade. I've always been
a fan of Renegade because I think it is such
a weird song for Mike Martinski to have heard. One
morning going to work, He's listening to Dve we play Renegade,
and in his head he envisions the highlight reel and yeah,

(02:34:27):
He's like, yeah, dude, this could roll up the fans,
and boy, has he been right.

Speaker 2 (02:34:31):
The problem I have with Renegade is.

Speaker 1 (02:34:33):
That it's become this right of not right, a passage.

Speaker 2 (02:34:41):
It's an expectation.

Speaker 1 (02:34:43):
That it will play every game, and I think it
should be circumstantial and special.

Speaker 2 (02:34:49):
You don't always get a renegade. It should be like
dark Star at a dead show, Joe, you know what
I mean, like you know for fifteen years. Yeah, maybe
not that rare, but you.

Speaker 1 (02:35:01):
Know what I'm saying, like, oh yeah, we got you
know that, we got a renegade. It should be special,
not like I'm going and I get a renegade because
I bought a ticket.

Speaker 2 (02:35:11):
Shot is I don't think they.

Speaker 1 (02:35:15):
Now they were putting the team and the audacity of
the organization to play that there with the expectation that
they would somehow bail out the team.

Speaker 4 (02:35:25):
Anyways, our old buddy Bill Crawford used to maintain and
I couldn't agree with them more on this point. All
these teams now are selling the presentation and game day
atmosphere and all that. When you're getting your ass kicked,
there should be.

Speaker 7 (02:35:39):
No more.

Speaker 4 (02:35:50):
Tonight ain't night. We're not gonna make it.

Speaker 5 (02:35:52):
And three that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:35:53):
They're damn and an inch probably probably gonna get. They
just gave them the first never mind.

Speaker 4 (02:36:00):
Time to get excited, in the time to realize you
just got your head handed to you. Be quiet.

Speaker 23 (02:36:06):
Yeah, I think if we're going to change up music
let's just do a song that fits what's happening to us.
Well that now, if we're getting buried, you know, then
then play a song like you know, it's a long
way back. I won't back down something something that fits
what's going on in the game.

Speaker 7 (02:36:28):
But the.

Speaker 14 (02:36:31):
Wow, yeah, right about that.

Speaker 4 (02:36:34):
We're getting run over and we have no hope.

Speaker 5 (02:36:36):
See you two of them more like honest approach, billy.

Speaker 3 (02:36:40):
I think the chats that were chatting yesterday were kind
of going more of that uh headspace of talking about
where we actually are. So the most common suggestion was
yackety sacks.

Speaker 23 (02:37:03):
I mean, just watched Tom and come over and pat
Arthur's head five or.

Speaker 4 (02:37:10):
Six times.

Speaker 5 (02:37:13):
That one would you know? I don't think it would
feel good.

Speaker 23 (02:37:20):
Like the Keystone cops get out and circle the wagon
three times, you get back on it and.

Speaker 14 (02:37:24):
Then it falls.

Speaker 15 (02:37:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:37:25):
Right, if you were like in a depressed state, uh
maybe you know again you blow it on fourth down,
you could go with like everybody hurts from R E M.

Speaker 5 (02:37:35):
That was another suggestion.

Speaker 3 (02:37:36):
I don't think everybody would have to abandon their seats
and just start walking.

Speaker 5 (02:37:41):
I guess.

Speaker 24 (02:37:44):
It tells everybody it's just time to go if I
would start walking toward a bridge, we got a lot
to you just shrums. I don't know.

Speaker 23 (02:37:55):
Yeah, when you're when you're slogan is do you want
to beat the traffic?

Speaker 14 (02:37:58):
You've done some.

Speaker 4 (02:38:02):
Things on defense.

Speaker 3 (02:38:03):
I think this one's tough because you'd have to get
a really particular part of the song.

Speaker 5 (02:38:08):
But the end from the doors came up.

Speaker 14 (02:38:11):
Yeah, you'd have to get right to this.

Speaker 7 (02:38:16):
Friend.

Speaker 14 (02:38:17):
I only took a helmet from the bench and he
walked on.

Speaker 5 (02:38:25):
Some people like the Curb your Enthusiasm theme.

Speaker 17 (02:38:27):
You know.

Speaker 14 (02:38:30):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (02:38:31):
That would be perfect. That's tremendous.

Speaker 14 (02:38:35):
Yeah, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (02:38:37):
I guess just zoom in on Danny Smith's big water gum.

Speaker 23 (02:38:41):
You could just short the tube of wap and just
hit those every time we do something stupid wompom.

Speaker 5 (02:38:50):
You can go to the Muppet Show.

Speaker 4 (02:38:51):
The price is right there. Don't don't.

Speaker 19 (02:38:57):
Show.

Speaker 20 (02:38:58):
Yeah, it's kind of yes, it's like it's time.

Speaker 14 (02:39:13):
To light the light.

Speaker 19 (02:39:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:39:18):
I'm not sure about that one.

Speaker 5 (02:39:19):
It's cute, but it needs work.

Speaker 4 (02:39:21):
Yeah, it's a little too happy.

Speaker 5 (02:39:22):
Somebody Kill Me by Adam Sandler made the listen bo.

Speaker 2 (02:39:27):
I mean this was this was dark. Here was the
sound of them getting booed or renegade getting bood Now, typically,
if you don't know, the crowd is usually going crazy
at this point, and it's it just sounds like an

(02:39:48):
angry mom.

Speaker 4 (02:39:49):
It's not even so much that there's booze. It's just.

Speaker 3 (02:39:56):
It was as soon as the screen went black, which
is usually when people start getting ready for it.

Speaker 4 (02:40:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:40:02):
Now, I have said many times that the problem might
not be that it's sticks, it's just the selection of
that stick song. That there's other stick songs that like,
maybe you put on there instead, And I think this
is the one if you just put a highlight package

(02:40:23):
to Babe, I'm leaving.

Speaker 14 (02:40:28):
I played for Rogers next week.

Speaker 1 (02:40:33):
Dude, Rogers looks like he has lost the will to
play football. He just the body language is like these
guys are idiots. I'm giving them hand signals and none
of them know what I'm trying to tell them.

Speaker 23 (02:40:46):
They're missing that requestion that bos tackle was the official
You're done?

Speaker 4 (02:40:52):
Tackle?

Speaker 19 (02:40:53):
Is what that was?

Speaker 14 (02:40:53):
That's the official you're leaving now?

Speaker 1 (02:40:56):
It kind of tackle. It kind of felt like that
did him in. And I don't know how bad his
wrist is or We're gonna hear about it today. I'm
sure you know he finished the game, but you cannot
put him in this weekend if you have to run
him out of pistol shock on the entire time, like
against Baltimore, you can't. Didn't work, No way, no way.
So what what will have changed between Sunday and today? Well,

(02:41:20):
he thinks he was speculating after the game. He thinks
he'll be able to take snaps this week.

Speaker 4 (02:41:26):
How I don't know how. I mean, not a doctor,
just telling me what he said.

Speaker 5 (02:41:31):
I'm Michael, just disappointed.

Speaker 4 (02:41:35):
Mike has say Holly and express though, I will say.

Speaker 14 (02:41:42):
Let's take a look at Will Howard's under the hood.
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 4 (02:41:51):
We'll take a look at Will Howard next August.

Speaker 24 (02:41:53):
Billy Gon sorry, Joe Bartneck's suggestion to for Renegade, I
gotta tell you clips to this.

Speaker 12 (02:42:04):
I mean, I could just.

Speaker 2 (02:42:05):
See the crowd going crazy and then the.

Speaker 4 (02:42:07):
Terrible towels flipping out on them, with the.

Speaker 2 (02:42:11):
Real curtains walking up elc mean, Joe, mad Dog and
Ernie when they come out of Super Bowl ten.

Speaker 4 (02:42:19):
When they walk up when they were walking out.

Speaker 11 (02:42:22):
Yes, the only problem is the actual message of the
song is anti conflict.

Speaker 4 (02:42:28):
Oh did you see the way they were tackling.

Speaker 5 (02:42:41):
The problem?

Speaker 2 (02:42:42):
Yeah, we need something that's a little more more about.

Speaker 1 (02:42:47):
Thanks Tom, Thanks to Joe Barnet, Thanks to Billy Garda.

Speaker 2 (02:42:53):
We love you, Belly. I'm alive, Cuzy, I'm alive tomorrow

Would you not eat my pants?

Speaker 4 (02:43:31):
Moronald? Oh? Whay google it.

Speaker 13 (02:43:42):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Kelly Anta Pizza and Draft Holes, three
time world pizza champions at Steelers Pro Shop. Get it
direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.
Here's Tom Opferman.

Speaker 18 (02:43:55):
The Buffalo Bills brought the NFL's number one rushing offense
to Pittsburgh Sunday, and that rushing offense dominated the game
as it guided the Bills to their twenty six to
seven victory over the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (02:44:04):
James Cook led the way.

Speaker 18 (02:44:05):
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.

(02:44:27):
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, when, funny enough,
the Buffalo Bills ran for three hundred and ten yards
at three Rivers Stadium. Offensively, things didn't go any better
for the 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

(02:44:49):
hundred 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, Baltimore,
with the winner taking control of the AFC North Division.

Speaker 2 (02:45:04):
I'm Tom Afframan with the Dealers Report.

Speaker 13 (02:45:08):
The Black and Gold faith will always travel well to
see the team on the road.

Speaker 4 (02:45:11):
And now Caliente and DV give you
