Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
But you flipped the thing around to me, so you
know I see it. It's the giant Eagle. Do you
want to donate a dollar? It's like everyone can see.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I hate that Giant Eagle thing so much because it's
like it always talks loud.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Do you want to donate for kids? And I'm like,
I didn't know before.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
It makes it all the way because I don't want
someone to hear me dinging the food bank, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Because I don't trust Giant Eagle to do it. I
do it myself. You know what that needs to do.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
After you say yes, it needs to go thank you
for your donation.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Because it gives you yeah, nothing, there is zero, and
because it has it like, thank you Randall for donating
to the food bank. You know what, Gine Eagle applauds you.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
They give you that stupid shame light. Every time you
don't know how to weigh your avocados. You need the
glory light every time I do the freaking food glory light.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
That's that is a different. I don't care, Cyren all together,
give me a glory.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Randy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Christen very strong opinions on tipping, very strong opinions reservoir jogs.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Okay, I believe in tipping.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I overtip all the time, and there are certain situations
and also when I didn't mentally put you in my
life like I didn't, I.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Didn't account for you.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
And then you give me a card saying I think
about you all the.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Time you're done drapering it. I don't think about you
at all. I don't because I pay for my services. Okay, well,
let me ask you this.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
You brought up something that I think a lot of
people feel, the shame siren when you don't weigh the
avocado's right or whatever and it breaks and you're just
sitting there. Boy, there's nothing like the time between when
it breaks and someone coming over and everyone just going,
look at this idiot, who's the roob?

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Those things are so loud, and you know, maybe the
answer is to have an MC sort of back there
in the self checkout aisle. Uh, you know, especially for
the donation. Sure, but uh, you know, move your avocada,
move your personal lubricant to the bagging area. Quiet, quiet, quiet,
there's no volume setting on there.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Those things are way too loud. The siren, though, like
help is on the way. I told you the time
I was at CVS and that happened to a woman
and she just started screaming because there's nobody there.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
She's like help, help. I'm like, I'm behind you, like
there's somebody here.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
And then someone like was obviously just on a bathroom
break and came over and finally helped her, but she
was losing it.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I was like, I wanted to see how far it
would go, and eventually she just starts taking off her clothes.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's okay, that's right. We're at a CVS anyway, So
what do you got going on over there?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
This hour is brought to you by Better Call Side.
It's cloudy today with a high around thirty four. Netflix
is Stranger Thing season five apparently has shattered streaming records.
They drew fifty nine million views during its first five days.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
The debut mark's the highest premiere week viewership for any
English language Netflix series and ranks third overall, behind only
Squid Game seasons two and three. Which I've not been
paying attention to this show a lot. I kind of
have lost the thread on upside down inside out here
we are.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
I remember, I remember the last thing from the previous
season that I remember it is her floating in the
air and Kate Bush song. Yeah, but I don't remember
how we got there or any of that's and I
don't remember how we resolved it.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Did we win, did we did we vanquish the Beast?
I don't recall.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, I don't know if we're good or not.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
But I did see that Millie Bobby Brown was back
in the news, because I think the thing is is
that we keep seeing things from stranger things pop up
and we forget that they're not children anymore, even though
they're still probably making them look like children. She got
married to John bon Jovi's son, Jake bon Gie Bonnie,

(04:33):
and she announced this week that her new legal name
is Millie Bonnie bon Giovannie.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
What so I was gonna ask you first if Bobby
was actually her name it was like Millie Bobby Brown,
or if that was just like George the Animal Steel,
or like, is was it something that people just put
in there because it was like she's like my bragative
and they're like, oh my god, Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah,
but now it's Millie Bobby.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Milly Bonnie Bi. She she should mash them up into brown Giovanni.
Don't do it, Gubby.

Speaker 7 (05:11):
I just say line in the sand. It's an old
tradition to do the name change.

Speaker 8 (05:16):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't know. My sister didn't do it. My oldest
sister didn't do it. I didn't do it immediately.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, and then eventually it becomes like a for tax
purposes or something.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
For my kid. Oh yeah, sure, I thought.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
I thought that for traveling purposes. This is very romantic,
I know, but I thought for traveling purposes. I didn't
want my child and I to have different last names.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Oh yeah, that's smart.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, you had trouble with your documentation going to Ireland.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, I did.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
It was screwed up because our uh whenever coworkers like
make you know travel plans for you and they know
you as your professional right, yeah name, they don't.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
Know the difference. And then in Ireland they were giving
me a.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Little bit of flat I did get the full tys
they pat down to I need to not get you.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Were screaming at the agent that you wouldn't tip and
they weren't asking for that, I know.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
But then they gave me a glory light and then
they said go on through that's amazing. Again, going back
to the stranger thinks as always kids to me, this
gets me thinking about being a kid again. Did you
guys have an allowance growing up?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Well, it was dependent on chores, but yes, it was
like I got paid to mow the lawn and you know,
ancillary stuff around the house, but usually mowing the lawn
was my deal.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Okay, when I was very little, I got a buck
every Friday. My stepdad put a dollar in my hand
and I got an Eclaire lunch every Friday.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Oh dude, that's nice. Oh yeah, what do you have
to do for a dollar?

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Just a little bit, oh a little annoying Thursday night specifically, my.

Speaker 7 (06:52):
Parents were well I remember this more in the summer.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I don't remember during.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
The week if we had like an allowance thing, but
in the summer, my mom had, you know, a hammer
to drop. Yeah, and it was a combination of academic
things that we had to do and then just actual chores.
But it was like ten dollars a week, so it
was hefty, but we had a lot to do.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Like, summer's sucked. Actually at my home, I just I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Was refereeing soccer when I was like ten years old,
I was refereeing the six year olds.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I was mowing.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
There was always a thing I was doing to get money.
I had a paper route, you know. I never didn't
have a gig, but they were you know, I could
duck in and out of them pretty easy.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yeah, my niece is in the referee game right now,
and it is like a great way for a young
person to make cash.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
My brothers and I used to make a lot of
money doing that, and then once we got older and
we could do the older game, like when we were
in college in the summer, we would like be do
the parochial schools and you'd go out and you'd have
like a three game schedule and it was like sixty
bucks you'd make, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
And back then in the nineties, you know, like you know,
early nineties, like eh, it is let's go drinking. It
only costs four dollars to do that, you know, So
we made a lot of money refereeing.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Back in the day, you have a.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Referee a game and you came off the field and
you were like, oh, that was not worth it for
the amount of abuse that.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh so many times well, and the worst was my brother,
And when I would ref with my brother Charlie, he'd
be like, I'm keeping time, and I'd be like, dude, don't.
And he would always short the quarters because he'd be like,
I just want to get the hell out of here,
you know.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
And he'd be like, this game doesn't matter. I'm like,
you know, it's not like you have to stop the clock,
but you have to at least give him twelve minute quarters.
And he would get yelled at by the parents and
be like, he ref that was ten minutes. That was
ten minutes, you know, And I'd be like, it took
two minutes off, like you're caught in the middle. Yeah,
at that point, you know, just let it play out.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
He'd always thought he was like getting one over on him,
you know, which always thought was funny. I'm like, so
we saved about six minutes and caught hell. I don't
understand what the different, Like it was it was worth
it to stay a little bit longer, but sometimes the weather,
you just want out of there. And then the coaches
occasionally would come up to you and be like, hey man,
let's get this thing over with, you know, and then
I also want to go to the bar.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah, bad I got real problems. I'm only here because
I have to be speed this thing up.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
But allowances kind of stopped, like getting money from my
dad probably when I was I don't know, twelve or thirteen,
because I had actual gigs.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, then you start actually working, right, So the preteens now,
the report that I pulled this morning, apparently the average
child's monthly allowance is around fifty two dollars, so they
are getting about thirteen dollars a week now, and I
guess people are kind of like, you know, clutching their
pearls that that's a lot of money for a preteen.

(09:48):
And I'm I'm a little split on this, Like my kid's.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Nine, What did they spend the money on? That's well,
here's my argument. In a way, cigarettes are expensive or
it's extremely.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Those vape pets, you know how you have to fill
those constantly exactly. That's what I'm saying is the things
that would be the carrot on a stick to actually
motivate her to stay consistent with it, because that's the
problem is sometimes she'll kind of get into the spiritatures right, but.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I can't keep up with it.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
But the things that actually would motivate her are so
much more expensive than that. It's just not enough. So
thirteen dollars a month, Like, what's a kid getting.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
I don't know that they can buy her.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
Thirteen dollars even a week. What's getting good?

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Can you get a pizza?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, that's mostly what you spend your money on, right, candy, pizza,
things like that.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Junk food, junk food. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I can get away with a five below trip, but
usually I have to go in like the giving Tuesday
model where I'm like, I will match your contribution. Yeah,
because even a five below trip, she's gonna pick something
and she's like agonizing over what clothing store or something. No.
Five below is a glorified dollar tree.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
With a better color scheme. Gotcha, you know.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So you go in there and there's it's junk, but
kind of good junk.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Our next segment is not sponsored by five below, now
you know what. Actually, I'll take that back.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Five below has a lot of art supplies, So I
think a lot of parents can get away with if
you go into a five below.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
They are now putting in like makeup shoes. I mean
they those shoes will have holes in them by the
end of the day, But yeah, you can.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
You can make it happen at five below and even
like you know, a ball, a hulloop whatever, you know,
you can get away with it.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
And that's some good Christmas shopping.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'll tell people to get my kid a five below
gift card.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
But I also like, again, I'm trying to over.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Incentivize it, so I matched the contribution and have to
make it work. But again, even like a game online, Yeah,
five bucks has gone and I can cough and five
bucks is gone.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
You don't want to give so much that they can
buy nefarious things. I mean, that's kind of the balance
I think you have to strike, you know, like.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
That will launch them do celebrity with their peers. Hey,
Abby's got she's getting fifty bucks a week. We can
do whatever pretty much. We could even tip.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Just not that where I draw the lines.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Oh wait a minute, hey, and urticfront is going to
be bringing below frigid temperatures here into the central US
this week.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
I read about this. This is not welcome news. No,
it's not.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
A polar vortex from the North Pole has shifted south
over Canada and will be pushing Chili sub zero temperatures
down into the us as far as south as Missouri
and Kentucky. Starts tonight and into tomorrow for us in Pittsburgh,
pricing that it's going to be in the thirties for
our high temperature through the rest of the week and

(13:06):
no snow like saw on Monday. So the most shoveling
you had to do, luckily, was on Monday. And I
don't know if seeing a bit of snow helped everybody
find a little bit of Christmas spirit or not.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Boy, I am not keeping up with the Joneses.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
All of my neighbors have these wonderful Christmas lights up,
and it looks great in my neighborhood. And then there's
my dumpy house, and even one of my neighbors even
drove up the street filming it. And then they're like, oh,
look how nice it is. Oh there's Randy's house. Nothing,
And then they kept, you know, and I'm like, it's
December third, but.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Is it always nothing? Yes, but still it could be
something you don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
You can't pass judgment until it's like December fifteenth. I'm
thinking about just getting the biggest like Grinch blow up
thing and just putting that on my lawn. But have
you seen the dancing grinches. Wow, the way they made
the blow up grinches. They do like when the wind
hits them, they do these hilarious just like dances. It
looks like they're really getting down. So I think I

(14:03):
would like that.

Speaker 7 (14:04):
Yeah, like the lawn or the car dealership.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's kind of like that, but it's a full grinch,
and it's like it looks like it's like boogiey.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
And are you feeling annoyed enough with the standard set
by your neighbors to just other than the grinch, to
do like one passive, aggressive mailed in decoration.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh, like one bulb in the middle of the.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Rhododendron and just leave it there. Possibly.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I mean the other thing you can do is go
super religious and shame them and be like, well, that's
nice that you have all these lights, but uh, Christmas
is but Jesus, it's not always about material things.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's sad. I have a big Bible on my front yard.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
I have seen people put up like a crucifix for
a Christmas decoration before which is Easter.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
It's not the right vibe.

Speaker 7 (14:53):
No, guys, he's still a.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Baby, guys. That's the epilogue. This is the fun part
host springs the ar the instrument of his murder.

Speaker 9 (15:05):
Check it out.

Speaker 10 (15:07):
Well.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
The Nativity scene is always hilarious to me too.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I do think it would be good to do the
Pittsburgh Nativity scene where you have myron Cope is a
baby in there? Yeah, the wise well, Ricky Back would
be Franco's catching the baby of.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
Course the baby Franco is the cradle, Oh my god, yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, exactly, and then you know, pick all your favorite.
Mister Rogers would be one of the wise men too,
certainly the wisest. Yeah, Sally Wigan would be the mother Mary.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Oh oh, oh, oh baby jesus ow I don't know
who the father is.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Rixy Rixy Back brings murr and tells you all about it.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
They make us in Beaver County. I'm telling you this
is something that should happen. Rick can happen. Market these well,
you know, so there's somebody out there who that Larry
Richard will probably have this marketed in a week or so.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Exactly. Sorry, it's the son of God and Joseph tis
a little bit well.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
There is a British newspaper that asked its staff to
basically say things to trick yourself into making the Christmas
sphere come out. Stuff Like you kind of feel like
you're not getting the vibe yet. There are ways to
just force feeling festive, and so here are some of
the highlights that might work for you. One is just
put the tree up, Like, just put it up and

(16:44):
just see if just that gets it going for you.
So that would be the inside of your house too, right,
so maybe that would help.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
The outside maybe.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I'm more of the inside kind of guy. I
am a keep it on the inside celebration kind of guy.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
You always have been.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
If you put the tree up, could you see it
from them?

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Look at that?

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Done?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
That totally counts.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
And then you don't have to do the lights outside too,
and you can control it.

Speaker 11 (17:11):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Okay, wrap a few gifts. You don't have to wait
until you're done shopping. Just wrap a couple things if
you've bought things so far, start making your feel festive.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Eat or drink something like I just wrapping things from
around your house and just leaving them there. They're not
actually gifts.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
It's just like fun for you.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah right, it's just like, well, that's that, you know,
it's the Steeler's almanac I bought in nineteen eighty eight.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I'm excited to open it up and leave through this
thing pigrim.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
There is eat or drink something festive. One writer said
her family always made you fish pie around the holidays.
Lait at second, I did say it was a British magazine, Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I mean they have spotted dick as another thing they have.
They have fish pie and sputted dick, and they have
some weird things they eat over there.

Speaker 7 (18:04):
Every time he shows up for the here's sputted dick again.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
God, you know there's cream for that dick.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Go Ice skating is one of the things that made
the list.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
You can do the downtown. Yeah, the downtown one's kind
of fun. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (18:22):
Is it like a super long line at this point?

Speaker 3 (18:24):
I mean, I mean bring your own skates.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Oh you can rent, you can.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
You take home some athletes foot but you know they
sell to act in at a on the corner.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
I think with the polar vortex coming in and still
being for me this far away from Christmas, this is
the time of year when I like to watch John
Carpenter's the Thing. You're like, you're absolute coldest. You feel
like you're there you don't trust anyone.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
That's interesting. Do you think that's the coldest movie ever made?
It feels like it.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
You know, there's that argument in Cheers where they talk
about the sweatiest movie ever made.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Cool hand Luke is one of the movies that they
that's a great one they put forth. But coldest movie
ever made? Things one of them? What's up there? I
don't know. I'm trying to the coldest. I mean, it's
cold on Mars right, so the Martian, I guess you
could say, but that's not like warm up. Oh dude,

(19:24):
The Hateful Eight?

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, great, God, Fargo, definitely a lot of cold in Fargo.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
That's a good winter movie.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Just life in Minnesota in the winter depicted perfectly.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Makes you a murderer. A couple of wrong turns that
could be Jerry Lundagard.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
Right, does the shining count for sure?

Speaker 3 (19:50):
But it's all inside mostly. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
I can't think of a whole lot of other one.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Keep trying, but you know what, Jacob has one. What
do you got, Jacob? Your MIC's not on? Buddy? Sorry?

Speaker 10 (20:05):
With Leo and.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Really good cold movie.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Get yourself inside a horse, because watching Christmas movies is
the last thing that made this short list, this abbreviated one,
just because that kind of also gets you in the spirit.
You know, you pop on like a Home Alone or
something like that, and that'll just kind of get you vibing.
But thinking about Christmas movies too. Macaulay Culkin's been making

(20:29):
the rounds. Did you see that he did the Google commercial?
Like I kind of always would have assumed with his
childhood and really how much he disappeared from the limelight.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
That he Okay, he like divorced his parents. I mean,
he he got eutonomy and he had a messed up
like their dad was a monster, very.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Much so.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
That he maybe would not look at his home Alone
career and kind of what that did for him with
such a with a reverential light, Yeah, I mean, it
just seemed like it would have been painful for him.
So when I see him on these Google commercials where
it's basically like Kevin as a grown up setting up

(21:14):
the house, you know, going back to the house, it's nice.

Speaker 7 (21:18):
It kind of feels healing for everybody.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I've never seen Home Alone two and it was on
last night and I saw Tim Curry is in it,
and I immediately was.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Like anything can happen, or how.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
A dog could turn into a cat, Like that song
is never going.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
To leave my brain. We don't want it to random.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
We Mark Madden is going to join us at nine
forty five. You know, this is a pretty funny interview.
John Popper from Blues Traveler did this interview in Rolling
Stone where they asked him who's the worst harmonica player
of all time?

Speaker 4 (21:52):
What?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
And apparently the guy that was interviewing him knew what
he was going to say, and his answer is Alanis Morisseet.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Okay. Now, her songs were on.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
The radio the same time as Blues Traveler was popping
right in the nineties, like all the run Around and
Hook and all those songs they had that were hitting,
they were up against her and everything. So he had
to hear this song non stop, and as a harmonica player,
it drove him nuts. And so he said, I objectively
have to say Alanis Morisset. She managed to fit the

(22:33):
entire thing in her mouth and on one hand, in
my pocket. I would love her songs on the radio.
You want to know, it's probably one of the best
songs ever written. But when she plays the harmonica, it's terrible,
and she insists on playing it. I'm that anal guy
that bothered to figure out that the harmonicon can be
like horns. So it really made me intolerant of people
who are trying to play actual notes. Aren't trying to
play actual notes.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Now. That was recently in Rolling Stone.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
But he also in his twenty sixteen memoir and blow
other spies on stories I'm not supposed to tell. Oh
my God, John Popper wrote, where I draw the line
is a Lanis Morisset. I can hear breaking harmonica when
she puts it to her lips. There's a track she
did hand in my Pocket, and I can hear the
reeds breaking during the harmonica solo. They're not meant to
be blown that hard, and I'm arguably the one person

(23:19):
who hears it. Every time that song is played. It's
like for a solo, we're gonna smash this violin against
the window. That's the sound I hear when I hear
this song. And then he did an interview on learndharmonica
dot Com and he said.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
I always use Alanis Morisset as the culmination of the
progression of doom.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I can hear her song one hand in my pocket
and I hear her break a harmonica.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
You can hear the read give out, and I feel like, say,
why are you killing a harmonica on the radio. And
then last summer he went on out of Corolla's podcast
and around the fifty seven fifty mark, he was asked
to improve a few different songs, and when Corolla cued
up hand in my Pocket, Popper said, oh boy, And
then he mocked her performance by blowing everything as hard

(24:00):
as he could with no rhyme or reason, and he
ripped over to the song for a while and he said,
she broke a read. You hear that dissonance?

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Uugh?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Corolla set, at what point in your career do you
think you'd be able to pull this off? Popper said,
I don't have a wide enough face. She can literally fit.
You can hear she's.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Fitting the harmonica inside of her face.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
So I just don't want to stop and admire that.
Even the most recent issue of Rolling Stone, once again,
John Popper feels the need to tee off on Alanis.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Morisset for this solo. And we've all had the one
thing that we've heard in a song that always drives
us nuts.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
For John Popper. It's Alanis Morisset swallowing the harmonica.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Promise me, Randy that if you ever interviewed John Popper,
he will bring it up.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
I could probably get him on the phone. I know
his keyboard play really well. We should probably get John
Popper onto Basher.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
Everyone that interviews John Popper henceforth has an obligation to
ask him if you had to pick the worst harmonica.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
So now I don't know the answer to this question.
John suited, but if you had to choose the worst.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Mike's got your sports coming up next. Here Mark Madden
nine forty.

Speaker 8 (25:15):
Five live from the Donz Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops
for appliances.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
This is w DV Pittsburgh.

Speaker 12 (25:24):
Chad Tyson on DV is shifting gears all afternoon. First
there's a Workforce commercial free set it three. Then there's
sports updates at top speed. There's a reloaded cut from
the DV Morning Show in the afternoons in the car
with Tyson on DV one.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
More day to go before we're wearing our eaton pants.
You shoulda has your sports right now on the DV
Morning show.

Speaker 13 (25:50):
Mike Sports s Up brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Weekdays on DV.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
I didn't do that.

Speaker 11 (25:59):
I did.

Speaker 14 (26:00):
That's Jacob, all right, it is brought to you by
Bridgal Appliance. Well, right, you know, we've talked a little
bit about how incredibly evenly matched the Steelers and Ravens
are Statistically, they're both six and six.

Speaker 12 (26:18):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (26:18):
Baltimore's point differential is minus four. Pittsburgh's is minus eight.
Baltimore scored two hundred and eighty nine points, the Steelers
have scored two hundred and eighty one. Ravens have allowed
to ninety three. The Steelers have allowed to eighty nine.
It's just couldn't be more down the middle, right, So
why does everybody think.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Because it is the way that they got there.

Speaker 13 (26:40):
The Steelers are heading toward the abyss and the Ravens
are going to rise up and be the scourge of the.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Was there three or four games Lamar didn't.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Play, Uh, that I do not know.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
But that's the only difference is if you went, you know,
average per game per starter on offense, the defense stats
line up pretty evenly.

Speaker 13 (27:02):
I can tell you that in Lamar Jackson's last three starts,
he has completed fifty five percent of his passes, the
offense has averaged two hundred and thirteen point three yards
per game, and he has no touchdowns in three interceptions.
His passer rating is sixty three point one. He hasn't
scored a rushing touchdown in four games and a passing

(27:25):
touchdown in three.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
He keeps accumulating injuries too. Yeah, he gets dinged here
and there. He's got a foot, he's got a toe,
he's got to They haven't been good now.

Speaker 13 (27:34):
Probably the reason everybody is terrified is that Derrick Henry,
although not dominant statistically against the Steelers, in his last
two games against the Steelers, one hundred and sixty two
on the ground in their win in December last year
during the season ending five game losing streak, and then

(27:54):
one hundred and eighty six in the wildcard game.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
So that's it for Yeah, it's a little bit of
a big yeah.

Speaker 13 (28:02):
And the Steelers only allowed more rushing yards at home
than they had since nineteen seventy five, the last time
they tried to play run.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Deep right for three forty last two games he played
against Because that's bad.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
So that's not great.

Speaker 13 (28:14):
Ravens started poorly because they were playing good teams, and
now they've done well lately because they've been playing bad teams.
It's not like they've clicked in the gear and all
of a sudden they're this juggernut team.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
I don't think that at all about Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
I think if the Steelers can play something approaching, you know,
not mistake free, but a little less mistake prone than
they've been, they can win this game.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
The offense has just been so unimaginative and unproductive that
you don't see how they're going to score. It's it
doesn't look much different to me than Shador Sanders running
the Cleveland offense right now. That's how bad I think
the Steelers offense looks.

Speaker 13 (28:57):
Yeah, I think the Steelers offense looks bad. I'm not
going to go your door bad. I think Sor looks
like he has no doesn't belong bad, which is what
I thought all along. Yeah, but you know, just don't suck,
and this is doable.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Don't suck. It feels like a big ask.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, there should be a sign on the locker room
nail smack on the way up.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Don't suck. Play like you don't suck today.

Speaker 13 (29:24):
And traditionally it's it's obviously a close game. That was
not the case in the wildcard game. Run the ball
and stop the run, super stuff, right, and hopefully they're
not in shotgun every time, and uh, there's a little
mystery to what they're trying to do. And hopefully Aaron
Rodgers can get back to doing what he was doing

(29:46):
before that Chargers game, because this has been a different
guy since then, and the offense has been different since then.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
He's taken some hits, there's no doubt.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
It looks like he's hearing footsteps, seeing ghosts and and uh,
you know, sam donold style, and maybe he's just it
hurts more to get hit when you're forty two.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
Which he just turned yesterday, Happy birthday.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
I want to know where the cake was from. Who
made Aaron Rodgers kate? Was it just a giant eagle
gay an eagle cookie cake? It's a guess.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
But he's such like a like health conscious guy. That
might have been some sort of like wheat grass.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Uh, you know.

Speaker 13 (30:30):
Like the time you brought tailgate.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
I didn't bring tail to the tail to a tailgate.
I don't know what you're talking about. That never happened. Happened, No,
I was at my house for a Monday night game
and a couple of buddies came over. I grilled up
a bunch of chicken, and I like, had some sauteed kale,
and I got my balls busted for that, and I'm like, yeah,
I'm just trying to have some vegetables.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
So I pooped tomorrow. But you guys knew whatever you want.

Speaker 13 (30:54):
Then you brought it to the tailgate.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
No, I didn't, brink. I would never be that you do.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I should have never done that in front of other people,
apparently at all, but I definitely did not bring it
to a tailgate. I have better sense than that. My
tailgate food was always the simple stuff, because I always
think it works best. Number one, As I always tell you,
in a pinch, a bucket of KFC will go immediately.
That's bucket of KFC. Walk into any party. I don't

(31:24):
care how fancy it is. Put down, a bucket of
KFC gone, but chit him. Barbecue ham is the easiest
thing in the world to make with just the isley,
So I don't even make your own. Dump the isley
stuff in, throw some banana peppers in there, crock pot
it for a while. It'll get nice and kind of
burnt edges and all that. You throw that out with

(31:45):
just some buns at a tailgate, Gone gone. Sean Casey
had about a pound and a half the last time
I did that, and he was just hard, you know,
just to the face.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Dude, there's only like three pounds in there. Calm down.
But that's always gone right away, So I always do that.

Speaker 13 (32:05):
Did he enjoy the kale as a compliment?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yes, well I did for presentation purposes. Yes, put a
little sprig of kale there. Yeah, Steeler polka. You're six
beers deep?

Speaker 10 (32:16):
You go.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
I got I better eat something. I gotta get something
in the k is for kale. Yes, a rewrite is
in order. Well, thanks for that, Mike. But Mark Mann
is going to join us here shortly. I wonder if
does Mark evertailgate or he does watch parties? Doesn't he
does watch parties?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
For the game, we'll talk to Double m He is uh,
as you know, he's bullish on the Steelers, uh and uh,
but pretty excited about what the Penguins are doing.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
There's some excitement through in there. I think.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Well, it's one of those things where the expectations are
set appropriately, so your disappointment level never really gets that
far down, you know what I mean, You're not really
that upset when they don't win, but you're seeing them
make strip and you're able to look at it like, ah,
you know what this is really the building blocks of
something that might work, and whatever it is seems to

(33:08):
reinvigorated Sid and Gino and Carlson, and.

Speaker 13 (33:11):
I think they're starting to get further.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Enough, further enough.

Speaker 13 (33:15):
They played enough games now that it's starting to be
more realistic to me, not just oh and they played
good fifteen games to start to see it's gonna level
back to the meme. This might be the meme, and
it seems like the Holy Eastern Conference Stakes.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Great point and always important. Mark Manneill join us when
we return here on the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
Weekdays on DV with Michelle and Chad Tyson. The songs
just keep coming with Workforce Commercial Free Hours at ten
and three on one oh two point five DV.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
The decisions you make after you've been seriously injured in
an accident matter it's Randy here.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
One of the most important decisions you can make is
who you choose to help you through your legal battles.
If you're sick, you want the right doctor. If your
car breaks down, you want the right mechanic. When you
need legal help, you should have the right lawyer. For
more than forty years, Edgar Snyder and Associates has helped
injured people.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
They've gotten over two billion for their clients. Call him
at one eight hundred and nine to for Edgar or
visit Edgar Snyder dot com. Remember there's never a fee
unless they get money for you.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Tis this season when you're in the mood for holiday music, is.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Your radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers one on two
point five DVEE.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Steelers Ravens this Sunday. We actually.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Start our covers at seven thirty am the Sunday for
the one o'clock kickoff because Chad Tyson Steelers tailgate kicks off.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
It's rock songs to get you in the right state
of mind, War Pigs, Thunderstruck. But they will not play
Renegade this Sunday morning. I've been in formed, so no Renegade, okay, good.
I don't like all this bad juju people are assigning
to Renegade. It's not Renegade fault. Renegade did not play
itself it's not Renegade. Don't throw the baby out with

(35:10):
the bathwater here. It was an ill timed attempt at
revving up the fan base, and it's not Renegade's fault.
Renegade is a great tradition and I think that we
should not be so quick to just replace it. Despite
Pittsburgh Reddit desperately wanting to find another song, no good
suggestions on that thread.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
By the way, if you look for the what's the
replacement song, I think it's, you know, either Renegade or nothing.
Sit in the silence with your feelings thoughts. Yes, maybe
think about what you did right.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Well, we kicked it around a little bit yesterday with
Bartneck and he was saying war pigs but to me,
you know, and I said, that's an anti war song,
you know, And you know.

Speaker 7 (35:50):
He said, have you seen another playing?

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, exactly, it's an anti battle song.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
But anyway, Sunday's Contown to kick off with Tom Offman
and Matt Williamson begins at nine a m. By the way,
Matt Williamson's is a freshman at UK and last night
at halftime he got to do the ten thousand dollars
shot from half court and he it went in and out,
chunked three times and kicked out.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Oh for ten g's.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
I'm sure Matt will tell you all about that nine
am on Sunday, and then pursued The Labs and Jerry
Doulac continue the pregame coverage at eleven AM before the
kickoff at one o'clock with Rob King, Max Stark's Missy
Matthews live from Baltimore, Maryland. It's Steelers Ravens this Sunday.
I'm glad it's an early game. Glad, it's an early game,
and I want to wait around all day for that one.

(36:37):
I want to know what the deal is by four o'clock.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
You don't always want to wait all day for Sunday night.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
No, no, no, because the season's over if we lose,
right looking grim like the playoffs are out of reach
if we lose this game, I mean not technically, the
Ravens could lose a bunch of games and we could
beat him the second time.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
I understand that.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
But from a percentage standpoint, what do we drop down to, like,
chance wise, if we lose this game, Like twenty percent.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Has to be something like that, right, yeah, imagine.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
So Mark Mann's not answering his phone, Jacob still not well.
I hope he's okay. Gee, I hope he's okay. Well,
that'll give me an opportunity happy to talk about the
big charity, then I certainly can feed the bird.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
It's gonna be at mister Small's and it is going
to benefit Rainbow Kitchen, and so we give all the
props to Rob James of the Clarks for putting this together.
It's gonna be Friday, December the nineteenth, Mister Small's Theater,
and I love that this is all ages. It's going
to feature the best in the local Pittsburgh music scene.
The Random Bauman Ramble Band is the backing band for

(37:42):
all of this, So you guys are probably on stage pretty.

Speaker 7 (37:44):
Much the whole night half a shit, Thank god.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I love that.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
But also you've got Joe Grisheky Bill, Deezy.

Speaker 1 (37:50):

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Mark Madden joining us now brought to you by callusy,
serving with Pittsburgh area for over one hundred and seven years.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Good morning, Mark, How are you?

Speaker 10 (38:17):
Good morning everybody?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Oh? Will you sound like you are distant? Are you
in a silo or something? Are you in the tunnel?

Speaker 10 (38:24):
Pretty close?

Speaker 11 (38:25):
I'm a conniat like ba. I was up there for
the boat tour of the Lakeside Christmas trees.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
No kidding?

Speaker 3 (38:32):
How was that?

Speaker 11 (38:34):
Just delightful? I posted a bunch of photos on my
Twitter just a site to be hold over one hundred
and thirty Christmas trees at Lakeside. Great night, moonlight, just
enough snow perfect?

Speaker 12 (38:45):
Now?

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Was that just you and Bill Hilgrove tooling around in
a Boston Whaler? Is that what's going on up there?

Speaker 14 (38:52):
No?

Speaker 11 (38:52):
Because that would have ended bad. No. My buddy Rob
Shelhas who owns a Robin Beck day On a funeral
home and wescue, and they have a house up here
and they have a they like chartered this, uh the
Kaylee Bell.

Speaker 10 (39:07):
It's a paddle boat that's been up here for years.

Speaker 11 (39:10):
And still does trips around the lake and they chartered
it and you know, a bunch of people just a
great time.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
That sounds amazing.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
You are really fond of conye at Lake that I
like that you have that connection to that place.

Speaker 11 (39:21):
That's my favorite place.

Speaker 10 (39:22):
I should quinn't live here?

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Well, I don't mean, I don't know. You can if
you want to, but you know, maybe.

Speaker 10 (39:28):
Mike Tonan live here.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
All right.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
I know your feelings on the Steelers and Mike Tomlin
right now, and I'm wondering if they can somehow beat
the Ravens this weekend manage to get into the playoffs.
Do you think that Mike Tomlin will keep going as
the Steelers coach or do you think the writing is
pretty much getting written on the wall right now.

Speaker 11 (39:53):
I think they can lose off and you will continue
with Steelers coach. I think that is the commitment to
never fire a coach. That's how daddy did it, That's
how Granddaddy did it. They're just not ever going to
fire the coach, which makes all the speculation a waste
of time. In pretty funny. I was just watching ESPN
and they act like this isn't his faults and that

(40:15):
he'd be doing himself a favor if he left, because
obviously he go right to New York and turn the
Giants around because they've been terrible for decades. But he's
a football freaking genius. The whole situation's just hilarious. If
you don't laugh at it, you cry. I prefer to laugh.
I just think it's funny that some make him out
to be the victim in this one. He has absolute
control over everything that goes on there and has had

(40:38):
for his entire tenure. It's just it's amazing how little
blame he's really kidding. I mean, there's a vocal section
of Twitter, the fans, even some of the media. You're
catching on, but most people are like, oh, poor Mike
Tomlin that he just hasn't had a quarterback for a
year as well, he drafted Kenny Pickett.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Yeah, the talent evaluation I think has been the biggest part.
The two biggest knocks against Mike Tomlin in my opinion
are talent talent evaluation lack thereof, and assistant coaches that
you know, his coordinators have just been not up to
snuff for a long time, and they've settled with Pat Meyer,
the offensive line coach for so long, and it's always

(41:22):
a problem for the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
But the assistant coaches thing is the only one. I
don't know for sure. I don't know how much money
they offer. I don't know how attractive of a gig
it actually is.

Speaker 11 (41:34):
If they're the franchise they pretend to be, and they
do pretend to be, then why is the budget for
assistant coaches so low? Why is it the smallest staff
in football? Why is it reporting to be the lowest
pain staff in football? Why are they chinsy about that?
Why don't they try to win? I mean, you can
kick go out of the play for this upstairs too,

(41:54):
but talk about a guy that ain't going nowhere.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (41:58):
Now.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
On the other hand, the Penguins have switched horses, not
exactly midstream, and things are going in the right direction.
I think as a hell of a fun game to watch.
The other night, Sidney Crosby continuing to torture the Flyers,
and all of a sudden, you know, they bring Rutger
back up, they bring Boco up, and this is a

(42:18):
fun team to watch. Like I was saying to Mike
before the break, because my expectations are set appropriately, I
can't really get too disappointed by the Penguins right now,
it's only upshots.

Speaker 11 (42:29):
Change is fun, change four votes progress, even if it
could be a false don or fools gold sometime, which
I don't think this is. I think it's gonna take
calm and the people believe for the Penguins to get.

Speaker 10 (42:41):
The wather want to be. But they will get there.

Speaker 11 (42:44):
But yeah, it's just everybody said it, you can't fire
Mike Sullivan because you couldn't do better. Well, they fied
Mike Sullivan. He's gone to New York and the Rangers
are an absolute disaster and Dan mus is doing a
pretty good job Briam in Pittsburgh so far. And by
the way, that was to win at Philadelphia on Monday night,
not at least because see it their perpetual tormentor got

(43:06):
two more goals, but because the Flyers tried to past
his bullys. But they are a bunch of sluts who
are soft as puppy crap on a sidewalk, and the
Penguins took zero from them. This one guy was given
lazank craft and from the Flyer bench was not got
him right between the lakes, full blow up and in
and hard and down and see you later. And the

(43:28):
bench did nothing.

Speaker 10 (43:29):
That secret guy after like he.

Speaker 11 (43:31):
Was coming come after Connor Clifton, and Clifton didn't even flinch.

Speaker 10 (43:34):
Screw those guys.

Speaker 11 (43:35):
They they think they're the Flyers. They're not even the
Flyers anymore. The only fire they got behind the bench.
And I bet he's a shade.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Uh yeah, I think he's gonna want to do a
lot of retooling there, Rick Tockett.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
But uh, it was funny to see the Zegres thing.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
It was like, if you're a Flyer fan and you're
watching that, that had to be a boy moment where
even you, even a Flyer fan, has to be really
embarrassed by that.

Speaker 11 (44:00):
All Right, Zigus is a guy who he played at
Anahei and you couldn't have melt him down and poured
him into a fight. And now he gets an orange
and black on. He thinks he's a tough guy, the
worst thing you can be in hockey, and I'm sure,
especially as a fly with that twisted tradition, is a
phony tough guy. And they got a whole bunch of
jerseys full of those.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Last thing I want to ask you about the Lane
Kiffin situation with him going to LSU. I mean, this
is as ugly as it gets in college football, and
he might have destroyed a program for a few years
on his way out to go to LSU, which frankly
is has more prestige and more money. But he has
this ole Miss team on the presipe of you know,
they have just as good a chance to win the
national championship as anybody. He bails out of that. This

(44:41):
completely screws that up for ole Miss. He takes players,
he takes coaches. Is there a fix for this for
college football? Or are they right now inexorably broken?

Speaker 10 (44:55):
I have fixed it. I don't watch it at all.
Stuff like this is is why I'm totally turned off
to it.

Speaker 11 (45:03):
Layne Siffin's a thief. Almost knew what they hired when
they got him, and just took a little longer for
the blow up in their face. And they did get
some good return.

Speaker 10 (45:11):
From it for a while, I suppose. But it's with Steve.

Speaker 11 (45:14):
You're right, ranlet's what's wrong with college football. It's inextrictably broken.
He was under contract to ole Miss through twenty thirty one.
Why does he get deleted? And the answer right here
as well, that's just the way they do in college football.
Well some school he's done the guts to stop doing
that way, say you can't leave.

Speaker 10 (45:29):
We'll see in court.

Speaker 11 (45:31):
Tell LSU to get an inner coach in the meantime,
we'll see how it trickles down. But nobody seems willing
to do that. And then you got this Penn State disaster,
which I said accurdently at the time, and they made
a horrible mistake fire in Franklin. It's tomlin Esk and
Sullivansk to say, but they weren't going to hire better
and they certainly haven't, so I seriously, I just don't

(45:52):
gay attention. At the bottom line of all of it
is college football has been.

Speaker 10 (45:56):
Around for one hundred years plus.

Speaker 11 (45:58):
They still don't have it a fair and objective way
to determine a national champion. That's fair to everybody. I
turn on ESPN, I hear the Paul Fine biom, Yeah,
talk about well this team, that team. You know they're
talking about brand names and Miami beat Notre Dame. But

(46:19):
Notre Dame is gonna get in any way. You know.
It's just it's not equitable, And how can that be
after all this time? I mean, why do the wrong.
People constantly have power in college football. I just don't
get it. So long story short, I just don't watch
and I mean I just don't watch it. All I
can in the pit game sometimes if I think it'll
be an embarrassing loss, because I get a kick.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Out of that.

Speaker 10 (46:41):
But otherwise I'm just not interested.

Speaker 15 (47:48):
The Buffalo Bills brought the NFL's number one rushing offense
to Pittsburgh Sunday, and that rushing offense dominated the game.
As a guide to the Bills to their twenty six
to seven victory over the Steelers. James Cook led the
way 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 were cook
eclipses the century mark. It wasn't just James Cook, as

(48:11):
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.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Two hundred and forty nine.

Speaker 15 (48:21):
Yards is the most rushing yards gained against the Steelers
at Akroshuer 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 Steelers either. They were
able to generate only fifty eight yards rushing on one
of the league's worst run defenses setting into the game,

(48:42):
and only gained one 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 in Baltimore, with the winner taking
control of the AFC North Division.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
