W d V Pittsburgh an iHeart radio station, guaranteed human.

Pittsburgh Nativity scene where you have Myron Cope as a
baby in there. Yeah, and the wise man, well, rixy
Back would be Franco's catching the baby of course, francoing
the baby.

Speaker 3 (00:33):

Joseph Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Oh you could talk. It would be awesome. We should
do it.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
It is the DV Morning Show and a packed past
today once again, our buddy Tad whistle hanging out with
us and Morning Ted, Good morning friends.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
In your ears. I'm sorry, I'm still practicing.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
For the next time I go to Nico's and do
karaoke and I pick in your eyes. We were just
sitting listening to that Peter Gabriel song as we were
getting ready to do Jump into the Morning Show here,
and it's a good karaoke song because you can get
like four or five people in on that one, just
to do the whole end parties.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Hi, I feel like we can all go together.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Yeah, I mean the DJ will as we get to
that part, he will start to fade it out and
then you'd have to be like, no, no, no, no, bring
it back up.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
We're doing it. We're doing the whole thing. We're doing it, dude,
in your rides. Okay, all right, here you go. Uh
packed past.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
As I said, Missy Matthews will be joining us Big
Cat from Barstool Sports.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Part of my take.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I'll tell you what, his Bears have a big game
this weekend against the Packers and this is the real test. Uh,
it's a game of the weekend. Really Bears Packers with
the NFC basically the number one NFC ranking, on the line,
and certainly their division lead for the NFC North is
in the UH. In the questioning on that one, I

(02:52):
still don't think the Bears are as good as their record.
I think the Packers are actually getting better. But we'll
talk to Big Kat about that. Plus college football, they're
gonna end up telling you, I think it's this weekend.
Is in selection Saturday this weekend. Don't they give me
the the lowdown of who makes it into the playoffs?
Guy Junker also hitting us up here nine today and
Mike with the latest.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
You know. Aaron Rodgers talking with the media yesterday, he
was asked about his comments postgame where he said, you know,
he was asked, hey, in a perfect world, what does
it look like? What do you want from your receivers?

Speaker 6 (03:24):
And he was like, oh, you know, show up to meetings,
bring me cake, and also, you know, check to the
right route when I checked to it, you know, don't
run the wrong one.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
So people assumed what he was saying there was that
there were receivers who were not going to the film study,
and he clarified yesterday and said, no, no, it's on.
I mean he said that was just my ideal scenario.
These are the things we have to do. But then
he cryptically said, I'm not going to talk about any
of the extracurricular stuff, So I don't know what that means.

(03:59):
And I think that's the thing Mike was hitting on,
which is that these extra film studies he has at
his house where he gets people to come over there,
you know, and bring him cake and bring them cake
for his birthday. I guarantee he was.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
A Giant Eagle cake had to be a Giantinggle cake.
I hope. I want it to be.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Yeah, I feel like he has dietary restrictions though that
would make that impossible.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, you know my feelings about the Giant Eagle Bakery.
I think it's as good as any bakery in town.
The quality control is insane. You can go, you know,
when I go to the Giant Eagle and erie, that
bakery is amazing.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
It's crazy. I only go to Giant Eagle for Edie's birthdays.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, and they have knockoff all the tortu cakes there.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
That are pretty even good. Just that fuch.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I mean there's no real you know, replacing the Prantles
almond tort cake.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean that is nationally renowned.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
The gold standard, but the one that Giant Eagle's pretty
damn good. And they do cupcakes all men torqu cupcakes,
which are also pretty megan.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Anyways, I'm not sure if that's what Rogers had the
other night, but.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I do think he wants people going to his house
for films to and he's mad because people aren't showing up,
which reminds me there.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Was this priest in high school.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I went to you know, Uber Catholic school, as you know,
and he started a club called a Teenage.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Action Club, all right, and yeah, some flags, a couple
of flags, tack tac a network you.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, you were kind of required to be in tact
because you were told that this was necessary for your
call of transcripts. And there are a lot of reluctant people,
myself among them. I'm like, all right, I'll join. I'm
not doing anything, all right. Well, they always had a
retreat where they would go camping, this cabin thing. I

(05:44):
never went on that. I'm like, eh, Bridge too far
from me, dude, I'm not doing that. My brother went
and he was like, oh, it's weird. He's like it
was really weird. This the priest who's running the thing
was like really mad because he's like, hey, I've got
you know, there's a movie room and all the kids
are watching the movie at night and they're like hanging

(06:05):
out blah blah blah, and he's like, hey, well, you know,
I got a poker game over here. How come nobody
wants to come up play in the poker room, you know,
And everyone's.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Like, that's a it's a smaller room and you know,
it's dark in there. It's weird, and we don't want
to go in there like movies. And he was mad
because nobody would come in and he was like, come on,
we're gonna we'll smoke cigars and we'll you know, and
he's like just got his like the wife beater tea
on type thing, you know, like we'll be men.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
And everyone's like, yeah, we don't want to do that,
and so nobody would go and do it, and he
would throw the cards down and get all mad. I
wonder if that's what's going on with there, and if
he's just mad because people aren't coming over to his party.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Oh, he could be that kind of going out. Also,
he's like a little self conscious and forty two years old. Yeah,
you guys, don't want to hang out with old Aaron anymore.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Why the heck not? We got fun stuff over here.
Were there's originals.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
As many as you want, you guys like back Cammon,
I learned to play abroad, Jim Rummy.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Is no one gonna come play Jin Rummy with your quarterback?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, And I think they responded and all showed up
for his birthday party. But prior to that, I don't know,
maybe that was the real issue.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
So you guys do know where I live. He's all mad, passive,
aggressive the whole time they're there. If possible, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I do know that he's got this look on his
face right now, like I shouldn't have done this.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Doesn't he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
It kind of look like he's kind of like, yeah,
this was a mistake. I really should have, you know,
should have kept himself in that Schrodinger's quarterback box that
Will Howard is in right now.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
He's both not good enough and he is the answer
to all the problems. Yeah, the mystery of Aaron Rodgers
being you know, the answer is it's we solved it.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
We figured it out exactly and now we know.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
And I still think it can be a capable quarterback,
and I think it can be better than what we
had last year, honestly, if he got some protection. But
I think it's you know, toothpastes out of the tube there.
He seems to be a little skittish. He's running around
like crazy in the pocket right now, trying to get
rid of the ball and trying to do too much
at the same time, which is makes.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
For an odd alchemy, and we need him.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
To calm down, calm down. I wish we could have
got him in for that Bears game. I think missing
that Bears game really screwed him up because that that's
always been his elixir. That would have given him life
to get to play sold on soldier field against the Bears. Traditionally,
that has been what is pumped him back up.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Screaming at someone's Graham in the in the stands, Yeah, that.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Could have breathed new life into him. The other I
own you, Nana, Are you okay? Discount double check interface?
You know.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
The other thing too, is this rich thing is not
going away. I mean this is not going away until
the season is over. Whenever that is, It's it's complet
It's just another thing.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
You know, to add on to being forty two.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
And not having twenty five year olds want to come
to your house to hang out.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's got at this is this is you know, we
don't know that that's the case. That is my supposition
here that what he was actually complaining about is nobody
wants to come play boggle.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
And then you do go over there and it's like
the uh, the guy they rip off at the beginning
of the third act of Boogie Nights.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, come on, Miles, Teller is walking behind him, just
throwing whippets down on the ground.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Anyways, Abby's got a news update for you. What's going on?
And there's this hours brought to you by your neighborhood
Ford Store.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Breezy and cold today with a high of thirty four,
but later on we are going to see a little
bit of sunshine. It is a very cold day to
be thinking about things like soccer. But there's a bit
of a celebration down town today for it, and so
I want to tell you about it because it also
might cause you a little bit of traffic woes late afternoon.
The Pittsburgh River Hounds are hosting a championship rally today

(10:17):
to celebrate their first ever USL Championship title. So the
Riverhounds defeated FS Tulsa in a penalty shootout last month
to win the championship title. So Bob Popienni is going
to be m seeing this afternoon. It's gonna be with
Mayor ed Gainey. Sarah am In She will be in

(10:43):
attendance as well. Fans will have the chance to meet
and celebrate with coaches and players to take pictures with
the USL Championship Cup. But Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh
will be closed between Fourth Avenue and Forbes Avenue and
that's gonna be from ten thirty am until two this
after so.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Just be aware of that.

Speaker 7 (11:02):
All right.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
We didn't get to the Quentin Tarantino list yesterday, but
he's clearly divided film buffs with his recent brutal criticisms
of Paul Dano, who is the star of There Will
Be Blood.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
This co star with Daniel day Lewis.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Yes, yes, but a very critical role in the movie.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
So here is the deal.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
If you missed it recently on the Brett Easton Ellis podcast,
Tarantino tore apart Dano's work, specifically mentioning this role that
he plays in there will be blood, and he was
kind of spitting fire. He was saying it was nearly
a perfect film, but screwed it up.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Put there will be blood in his top ten? Correct,
all right? What number? Oh, I don't have that front
of me.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
What do you think I am? I think you're prepared.
I think he had it a number five and he
said the only thing from making it number one is
Paul Dano, which.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Is insane to me because I you know, whatever tangent
Paul Dano has to be hateable in the movie or
the movie doesn't work. But Daniel Plainview is also hatable
in the movie. I don't think you're supposed to love.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Movie.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
But needless to say, fans of the movie and Paul
Dano specifically kind of went after Quentin Tarantino on this.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
But Dylan Frasier, who is the little kid in the movie,
the deaf Kid.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, I think I'm trying to remember what his name
is of the movie.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
But he's h View, isn't it my son?

Speaker 4 (12:43):
H W. He actually isn't in movies anymore. He only
did that movie as a kid. And then I think
he actually does work in oil now.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Because Paul Dano was so bad he couldn't.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Keep back the fandom anymore. And he was like that said,
I'm done with it. He said that the film is perfect,
it's a work of art, and it is because everyone
in the film is perfectly cast.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
I totally agree.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't know what Quinton is on something right now,
Like he's going through some weirdness. He is dropping bombs
on lots of people, and it's not just Paul Danel.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
He felt the need.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
First of all, Brett Easton Allis is like the not
the coolest guy in the world. He's kind of a douchebag.
I mean, you know, he's written some great things, but
also Canada douche and so Quentin leaned into his douchiness there.
I thought, right, you know, he's well known to annoy
the piss out of a lot of people. Quinton is
talented as he is, and I love him. I think

(13:40):
he's a really great filmmaker. There are lots of people
in the nerdy film world who do not think that,
like people that he revers like good Art and Scorsese
like that, Like they don't think that fondly of him,
And a lot of what they think he did is
just pestiche and that he only likes like a lot

(14:03):
of quirky, weird stuff. And then his real talent is
just rehashing ideas that have already happened and presenting them
in a different manner. I think that that is how
a lot of art is done anyways, so that I
don't have a problem with his process. Like none of
his top movies are foreign films. People were pointing that out, like, oh,

(14:24):
you're a real cinophile, you know, And you have Turner
and Hooch at number seven.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
You know he has like Toy Story is number two.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
I think right, because there will be Blood is number
five on his list, so you're right, it is.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
It is in the top. But Toy Story three, now
he was on Bill Maher's number two.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
He's on Bill Maher's podcast arguing why Toy Story three
was the greatest one of his all time favorite movies.
And I get it, I do get it. It's just
a weird one to have landed on. Some of those
movies are crafted perfectly. I mean, tell me you didn't
watch Up and think this is a perfect movie. It's
an animated movie, and it's absolutely perfect start to.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Finish, maybe cry in the first ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Exactly by the way, you know they're doing a live
action version of that. God No, yes, who's gonna start
as the old man? Harrison Ford be pretty good?

Speaker 8 (15:17):
Right.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Anyways, back to Quentin, I'm not exactly sure what's going
on with him other than cocaine. That's how I always
just think it's cocaine when he starts yapping.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Like this, that guy is is just on drugs. Again, Well,
he thinks.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
Austin Butler would have been a better role or better
person to play the role than Paul Dano, which doesn't
even make sense from an age perspective.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
You say he would have been like eleven. Yeah, so
he couldn't even have done it.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
But also Austin Butler doesn't read that to me at all.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
No, I know, I'm telling you, I think Quentin's on
a bender.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
I think I mean, you know, Tarantina loves casting himself
in movies, and he always casts himself as like.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
The weird, nerdy guy or weak guy.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
Paul Dano fills that space like the weird, skinny, oddly
shaped head guy, and I think Tarantina is like, that's
my that's my whole thing. That's why I make movies
to cast myself as someone drinking tequila from Selma Hayek's foot.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yes, exactly. Don't you think Paul Dano was great as
the Riddler though? And wasn't he great as Brian Wilson
in Love and Mercy when he played young Brian Wilson.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yes, amazing. I didn't see that, but that's that's high
on my list especially, Yeah, tell me, tell me more.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
It seems like, uh yeah, but he's got a laine
and I think it over overlaps a little bit with
Quentin Tarantino.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
And his his girlfriend is also a delightful actress or
his wife or whatever.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
She's in a Zoe, whatever the hell her name is.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I always thought that, like, oh, that's the perfect artsy
fartsy acting couple. I thought they were like the young
version of Lee of Schreiber.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
And who's the Australian actress who's married to who's in
David Lynch movies? I know, yes, why can't we think
of her name right now? Because our brain's not working
and at six.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Twenty am, ummm give me two seconds, because I know
he is no our name.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Point point B.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I think that dude's great, and it only served like
yesterday to be a day that was like for Paul Dano.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
He wakes up and.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
He's like, what the I'm catching straight from Quentin Tarantina?
What he But then he just felt the love all
day long.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
From everybody, you know, So that's pretty cool. I'm gonna
have a seizure federal. Her name terror reads.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Oh wait, actually we know we don't have time. I'm
gonna save this for next hour. If that is okay,
Let's wrap up with just the weather here, and that
is breezy and cold today with a high of thirty four.
You're gonna have a little bit of niffles, but we
will see some sunshine today.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
She's best friends with Nicole Kidman. No, but I don't
know that they're together. I'm searching it. They're not together anymore.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
That's why I can't find it. Wait, I got an
idea ex girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Michael be nail. Damn it, Michael, being with your sports
here in this a little bit. I want to die.
I know it's the worst feeling.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well, the problem is is I never know if it's
just because our brains are like we're just super tired.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Well, you and I'll do this all the time. We're
always like, maybe we're dying.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yes, this is the first step of dementia. How much
creatine do I need to take to get rid of this?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
I've been taking those Paul Stammett's like Lions main supplement,
Stanley Lions Man's Yeah, Paul Staney Lion Maine, Yeah, Polar
Stanley Lion's mane. You want Harold your chest, you die it.
This is gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Michael, give you the low down on Steelers getting set
for the Ravens. Hey man, this is a matchup that
will determine first place, much like that Bears Packers.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Game I was talking about.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
The division is on the line between two totally mediocre
six and six teams at one o'clock. But throw out
the records when these two teams play each other, and
you're probably gonna want to because it doesn't look that
great right now. M and T Banks Stadium, one o'clock kickoff,
Rob King, Max Stark's Missy Matthew, Steelers Ravens right here on.

Speaker 9 (19:13):
DV 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
e from the Bridgeville.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Well with your sports here on the DV morning show
Mike Sports sub brought to you by Bridgeville Plats.

Speaker 10 (19:32):
Aaron Rodgers was exclusively in the shotgun last Sunday against
Buffalo and it didn't go well. That might not be
the case this Sunday in Baltimore, though. Rogers wasn't offering
any guarantees after not practicing yesterday, and.

Speaker 11 (19:48):
We'll see what happens. I'd love to be able to
be under center. That'll probably be later in the week decision.
But yeah, I didn't come out of the game any
worse for wear, So the healing process. Healing process has continued,
and we'll see what happens as far as the type
of cast I use come come Sunday.

Speaker 10 (20:06):
Yeah, Rogers following up basically what Mike Tomlin had said
on Tuesday. Well, we'd like him not to bet a
shotgun all the time, but you know.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
He said it's gonna be like less of a conversation,
right yeah, which is not specific.

Speaker 10 (20:17):
Nobody's coming out saying he's going to actually be able
to play quarterback the way you need to play quarterback
in the biggest game of the year.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yes, so there's that.

Speaker 10 (20:28):
Rogers also addressed the steelers lack of a downfield passing
game yesterday in detail.

Speaker 11 (20:38):
Well, I mean a lot of things go into that.
You know, coverages they've been, they've been. Most teams are
playing double DK, so it's on the rest of the
guys to get open. We've been going a lot of
big personnel stuff. You know, I'm not sure what the
plan will be this week as far as different personnel groupings,
but it comes down to having a plan with your

(20:59):
release at lance scrimmage, run the right route and then
me make it throw and sometimes been a combination of
any of those three. That's it's caused it to go wrong.
But you know, I think i'd be looking to take overall.
There hasn't been a ton of opportunities in general take
those shots. And until we run the ball consistently every
single week and get some more single high you know
we're gonna win in unconventional ways.

Speaker 10 (21:23):
Follow probably should have been what are those unconventional ways?

Speaker 6 (21:26):
Well, I can't tell you that because it'd be giving
away our unconventionalism.

Speaker 10 (21:29):
Or he could have said, well, as soon as we
actually win, then I'll let you know, or do.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
The Tomlin one, which I now hate the most of
any Tomlin answer, which is keep watching.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
H yeah, no, we don't want to. That's the point
that sounded cool the first time keep watching.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, it was kind of a I'll be back where
you know some sort of batman is the very first time.
The second time, keep watching, it's like, you know, Rocky
all bloody, keep watching.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
You can't anymore, man, it's over.

Speaker 10 (22:01):
Do you hate keep watching more than we continue to
write that story or some.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Of the more every day I write the book tom
but heard that on the way to the press conference.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Chapter one, Colone ishmail. He just starts doing Moby Dick.
It was the worst of offense. It was the worst
of defense.

Speaker 10 (22:23):
It's a different book, but yeah, I alone survived to
tell the all things consider, last Sunday's lost to Buffalo
probably the worst game of the season, right, yeah, relative
to Snake's caliber opponents and complete breakdowns back on both sides.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Of the ball.

Speaker 10 (22:42):
But believe it or not, all is not yet lost.
Far from it. In fact, given the opportunity awaiting the
Steelers in Baltimore.

Speaker 11 (22:51):
Were six and six were type for the division, leave
we got a chance to keep controlling our own destiny
with a win this weekend. So you know, every year
different you you kind of wait and hope for that
run that you can go on to kind of get
to be playing the right way come December. But I
think from a from a foundational standpoint, to be playing

(23:11):
meaningful games in December, it's especially we need to embrace that.
You know, play on the road is tough. It's a
great environment over there. They've won, uh, well, they won
five out of six. I think like that, so they've
obviously been playing playing better last stretch and anything can
happen in the division game, and this is for control

(23:33):
of the division in the short term. Obviously there's four
more games after this, but this is a big one
for us.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
It is a big one. You win this one.

Speaker 10 (23:43):
Yeah, you beat Cleveland and you win against the Ravens
the last game of the season, and you are Division champs,
right they they came to anything about it.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
You get in, whether anybody likes it or not. You're
in the postseason.

Speaker 10 (23:56):
Although I should say maybe you know, the Bengals see
a rat if they could run the table and also
end up nine to eight.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, but what what's the game at hand.

Speaker 10 (24:06):
On Well, they split with Pittsburgh, so that would require
a little more free division record, conference record.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
They beat the Ravens and if they went out, they
will have beaten the Ravens twice.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, as would Pittsburgh.

Speaker 10 (24:21):
Yeah, the five, So it could get a little convolu
But first things first, try to try to look like
a first place team on Sunday in Baldimore. You know,
I don't think Rogers is a guy who parents with
the coaches tell them a lot of guys are no.
And it was funny just walking around the locker room
talking at different guys yesterday. The two obvious themes were

(24:42):
what he addressed there. Did the opportunity, Hey this is
you know, you're playing for first place. Everything's still in
front of you, a great chance here. And physicality got
to be more physical.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Well they certainly weren't that.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, you know, and I thought more about what you
were seeing when you go back and watch just some.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Footage of the James Cook.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Runs where he's just ripping off fifteen eighteen, the same
play every time. It's clear TJ's crashing down on those those.

Speaker 10 (25:09):
Are all starting inside and he's bouncing.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Them and there is supposed to be somebody there.

Speaker 10 (25:17):
And that's somebody on the edge, and it looks like
what safety or a corner.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
It looks like it's supposed to be Joey Porter Jr.
A lot of times. So as much as we were
giving him credit for.

Speaker 10 (25:26):
The three tackles he made, he was supposed to make
fifteen of those.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Now, I don't know, But but is it wise to
put him there in that position?

Speaker 10 (25:36):
Well, I mean, I know they count on their cornerbacks
for physicality.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
And run support. He's become a better tackler, but that
has always been their thing.

Speaker 10 (25:42):
Yes. Is Joey Porter on Cook an appropriate matchup?

Speaker 3 (25:48):
No, apparently.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
But the thing is when he faced him one on one,
he won those battles.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
It's just he wouldn't. He wasn't in position.

Speaker 10 (25:57):
He was following inside and to do too much getting
out of his gap, and that herein lies the problem.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I just think that the compulsion to be a part
of the play is so great for these guys that
staying home and staying disciplined is like a damn near
impossible task for a lot of nflers.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's like, well, particularly.

Speaker 10 (26:21):
When you don't have harmon in there and you don't
trust clearly the guys that are playing inside.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Remember in the Departed, when that guy's in the car
and he's like, hey, he's on the roof. They're going
to get him, and Matt Damon's like, just stay put,
just stay there a trooper, and he do not engage.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
He's like, I'm going like, that's it. That's what Joey
Porter Junior, that's it, right, and they have departed from
couple of.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
Exactly that guy dies in the movie. I think by
the way he as instantly shot. Yeah in the shootout. Yeah,
he gets shot.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
The message here he gets shot like almost right away
in the shootout of the same.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Next guy out of his gap. That's it.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
I'm not saying it, just suggesting him on the way
for you, missy. Matthews will join us. We used to
do the pick six. Now it's three and out.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 10 (27:10):
And he's like, you know, Kate, believe you came up
with that. But that perfectly encapsulizes what is going wrong. Right,
you just stay in the car, right, just stay there.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
But you can't.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Big cat guy, Junker and a whole lot more. Abby's
got your news at the top of the hour.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Driver list, cabs are coming to Pittsburgh, and we'll talk
Instagram etiquette like should you airbrush someone's face without their permission?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
If you missed it yesterday, we had our buddy Tad
Whistle do the Pittsburgh Steelers alphabet for you and we'll
play that for you next TV.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Bigger than Pittsburgh. This is bigger. I'm telling you this
is bigger.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Streaming twenty four seven worldwide at dve dot com and
through the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Is this season making show.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
I was telling you earlier how the Pittsburgh City Paper
is asking its readers to submit the Pittsburgh alphabet AZ
words that describe Pittsburgh. So I asked Tad to do
the same thing with this version of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
the twenty twenty five Pittsburgh Steelers and eighth through Z.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Tad Whistle take it away.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
A for adjustments adjustments, yes, as in Tomlin, don't make
no adjustments. B Randy for booing renegade?

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Was it a bunch of drunk people looking for something
anything to scream about or an indication of the disconnect
between the powers that be and the Hoypelois.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Seemed like this might have been to let the meat
cake moment, let them listen to sticks. I'm not proud
of this one. C is for the C word hold
on now, for you know which I find myself screaming
a dozen or so times during these games, making the

(29:07):
Steelers at least partly responsible for my forthcoming d divorce.
He is for the episode after the Chargers game when
I almost got three zero two to the Hangar sports
bar in Coreopolis Peaks and Valleys, almost ast f Friarmouth.

(29:32):
I guess I can barely say his name right. It
felt like it took two years to learn how to
say that guy's name. Where are they hiding this dude.
It's not like John Whu Smith's getting his touches. G
for good dudes, Good dudes, Jalen Warren, good dude, Herbic,
a couple others. Blow it all up, and let's start

(29:55):
over with these guys. We'll get a little place, we'll
have a cow. I'm down on the flat. We're gonna
have a field of our fouth for all the good dudes,
and I will tend to them. Farmer tad H is
for hell, say the line, Coach, we want here in December.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Unleash Hell. We're in Hell. Get us out of Hell.

Speaker 12 (30:24):
My last hell.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Please eyes for irritable bow syndrome.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
After stress eating a pound of cashews while James Cook
and the Bills ran butt naked the same corny play
sixty times on the Steelers. Jay is for one Thornhill,
an otherwise forgettable dude who will live forever and steal
her infamy for a stupid thing that he said that
this defense had a chance to be the best of

(30:55):
all time. It is the Howard Dean scream of your
twenty five Pittsburgh Steelers. K is for Cam getting knead
in the stomach by Josh Allen. You're the d lineman,
he's the quarterback. You're supposed to knee him, and not

(31:17):
in the stomach, in the groin. That's how backwards things
are right now. Elis for long December, except there's no
reason to believe that maybe this year will be better
than the last. Emma's for Mason, as in Mason ain't
pulling their asses out of the fire this Christmas, and

(31:40):
for nameless Gray Faces, a once fun tomlinism that right now,
like all Tomlinism just annoys you. Yeah, oh, offensive line,
Why does our offensive line always suck?

Speaker 3 (31:53):
P Pat Meyer? Pat Myers should be fired because the
offensive min so.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Speaking of underperforming Pats, Humus for Queen, we already gotta
watch you on Sunday. Seeing you beef with former stealer
backups on Twitter is a new level of aggravation. We
simply do not need log off my man, our Ravens
week oof used to bring such joy. Feels like this

(32:24):
one snuck up on me, but really I was just
dreading it. S is for scheme. The word use so
much this season it no longer means anything at all.
Out schemed, over schemed, under schemed, schematics, schemantics, steely mcscheme,

(32:46):
Paul schemes.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Everybody haven't fun, We haven't fun. Out down to put
a bow on the letter s.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
Let's say so long and cyonara to scapegoat Tea Terra
whose exit interview is gonna be a lot like Joe
Peshi's in Goodfellas. It was revenge for Joey Flatco and
a lot of other things. You ugly, the wins, the losses,

(33:18):
the season of the for victories. Look at the rest
of this schedule, show me the victories.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah, not a lot.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
W for wide receiver two, which the Steelers finally solve
with Adam Feelin. Hey, if you're pissed off about them
signing a thirty five year old wide out in what
seems to be his final NFL season, imagine how Adam
Thielen feels. While we're talking about reed treads. Why not
kick the tires on x Xavier Grimble. Maybe he's the

(33:52):
missing piece of this Arthur Smith offense. One more tight
end really opened the playbook. Why for YOI used to
be a happy exclamation, It's time to start using YOI
in a sad, somber way. YOI double and finally zee

(34:18):
her zillow doom scroll. I use it as a calming technique.
Steelers in the middle of another second half collapse. I
wonder how many bedrooms I could get if I moved
to eighty four.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
There you go, the Pittsburgh Steelers alphabet.

Speaker 10 (34:37):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Iron Workers Local Union number three. They don't go to
the office. They build it at Steelers Pro Shop.

Speaker 7 (34:47):
Get it direct from the team at Shop dot Steelers
dot Com.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 13 (34:51):
The Steelers had it to their wide receiver room this
week when they signed thirty five year old Adam Feeling
to the team after he was let go by the
Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Keelan appeared in eleven games this year for.

Speaker 13 (34:59):
The Vikings, but I'm caught eight passes for sixty nine
yards and wanted to seek out a bigger role on
a different team in what will be his.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Final NFL season.

Speaker 13 (35:06):
Although his better days are certainly behind him, Feeland has
an impressive resume and tons of experience to draw from
the twelve year Vets spend ten of those seasons in Minnesota,
highlighted by his second team All Pro performance season in
twenty seventeen. Feeland eclipsed one thousand yards receiving during a
season three times over his career, twice with the Vikings
and once more with the Panthers in twenty twenty three.
The Minnesota native has amassed eighty three hundred and eighty

(35:28):
yards and sixty four touchdowns over his career. At thirty
five years old, Land surely isn't going to be the
Steelers answer to the offense, as woes in the passing
game or even the number two wide receiver they have
so long sought after, but he still could be an
upgrade to what they currently are working with. Last Sunday
in Buffalo, no receiver other than DK Metcalf caught even
a single pass, and receivers not named Metcalf have just

(35:49):
five combined catches over the Steelers' previous two games.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
What Adam THELN.

Speaker 13 (35:53):
Brings to the table these days may not be much,
but it certainly could still be useful in the Pittsburgh
offense so desperate for any in the passing game.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
I'm with the Steelers. Report is a guaranteed human and
I still think it can be a capable quarterback.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
And I think it can be better than what we
had last year, honestly, if he got some protection. But
I think it's, you know, toothpastes out of the tube.
There seems to be a little skittish. He's running around
like crazy in the pocket right now, trying to get
rid of the ball and trying to do too much
at the same time, which is makes for an odd alchemy,

(36:34):
and we need him to calm down, calm down. I
wish we could have got him in for that Bears game.
I think missing that Bears game really screwed him up
because that that's always been his elixir, that would have
given him life to get to play sold on Soldier
Field against the Bears. Traditionally, that has been what has
pumped him back up.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 5 (36:54):
Screaming at someone's graham in the in the stands. Yeah,
they could have breathe new life into him.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
The other day, I own you, Nana, Are you okay?
Discount double check interface Brandy Bellman and the DV morning show.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Haybody Ty Whistle with us this morning as well Abby Krisner.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
You know Aaron Rodgers. There was a big.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
News kerfuffle yesterday in the Pittsburgh sports media landscape because
of Pro Football Talk and Mike Florio's unending hate of
all things Pittsburgh. They automatically leaped to the worst conclusion
over there Pro Football Talk and he had tweeted out
on Sunday. Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers capt his postgame press

(37:39):
conference by implaying some players aren't showing up for film
sessions on Wednesday. Reporters asked no questions about his comments, like,
you know, holier than now if I would have been there,
King of the big jays that would have never never happened.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
But it turns out they just watched a clip of
the interview.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
They didn't watch the entire ten minutes of Aaron Rodgers
talking to the media.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
And ESPN's Brooke.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Prior pointed out to Pro Football Talk, I asked him
that question, and he answered, one of the.

Speaker 14 (38:13):
Things you said on Sunday that could help you in
the past, Cutris. You on the same page as everybody
coming to those film review sessions. To be clear, has
there been less than one hundred percent attendance? Is that
something that you feel like needs to improve.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
What I was talking about was during the week.

Speaker 11 (38:26):
You know, we have our meetings on Thursdays, and I'm
meant that everybody come there with an open mind and
be self critical and you know, work on the things
you got to work on, and then this get better.
As far as any off the field stuff, I'm not
going to talk about an all.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Right, So that was the quizzical part to me off
the field stuff, because I don't think he she alluded
to any of that.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
He just kind of brought it in there at the end.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
But so he was clearly asked about it, and I
wonder when he originally said that if that's what he meant,
because he didn't say people aren't showing up to film study,
he was asked like, well, what would be an deal situation?
What are you looking for here? And he said, you know,
show up to film study. He wasn't claiming nobody was
right now, I think Mike will come in here and

(39:14):
go ah. But you know, you don't say that unless
somebody wasn't showing up.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
The stuff.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
The extracurricular part is what we were kicking around earlier. Tad,
is this the Wednesday night party he has at his
house that people haven't been showing up to.

Speaker 6 (39:27):
He's like, I made fund, I had hummus dip and
just sat there because John, who didn't even show.

Speaker 5 (39:33):
Up, wasn't even there. Yeah, I guess it's my ideal teammate,
a friend I don't know, call me crazy. It's the
guy that I can hang out with.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
It's all kick around some conspiracy theories with get a text, Dvante,
miss my buddy. You walk in there, like is that
Fauci hanging and effigy? He's like, oh, I forgot to
take that down. Now come on over here. Guy Cob
gave that to really, we're gonna go in this room.
Abby's got a news update for you right now.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
What's going on is this hour is brought to you
by Keystone Basement Systems, Wet Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot Com.
Driverless cabs are coming to Pittsburgh. So autonomous ride hailing
service way Mo is expanding into the Steel City along
with Baltimore, Saint Louis, and Philadelphia, the company announced in

(40:25):
a blog post on Wednesday. The cars don't require any
human input, instead relying on a mix of cameras, radar,
and liedar to perceive.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
The world around them.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
So human led test drives are going to start this
week in downtown Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
So I've taken way MOW in San Francisco, as you know,
and it is freaky. It is. It is really weird.
And I had it drop me off in the Hate
District and as I got into the car, the weird
thing is like you open the door and it's like hello, Randall, welcome,
and you're like, oh, oh, it'll talk to you. And

(41:04):
then you sit down and it's got a screen there
and I think you like confirm, like we're going here right, yes, Okay,
what do you want to listen to? And then it's
like it gives you a number of streaming services. You
can just pop something on, or you can just say, like,
you know, I'll listen to whatever.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Like it.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
It basically series your commands. But one of the cool
things is one of my buddies that lives in San Francisco.
He always sends me pictures inside his way Mo and
he's listening to DVE out there. Because you could just
PLoP it on on the iHeart app, because the iHeart
app is one of the streaming services that they offer
in waymost you can be like boop boop and then
put on DVE and he'll be like, Bob, see your dude,

(41:44):
Yeah you know, and it'll have like the DVE you
know logo there. It is a freaky sensation and when
you first do it, it feels not like I don't
know what the word is for it, unholy. It feels unholy, yes,
like something untarg Yes, it's like this should not be happening.

(42:09):
And then other waymos go by you and there's no
driver in that car and that feels weird. But because
San Francisco is a grid, I felt like I trusted
it pretty much, you know, like, ah, man, this is
you know, they can't screw.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
Up Pittsburgh though a little different. I know.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
That's why they tested a lot of that stuff here,
because the terrain here is so difficult, and because the
streets are so you know, there's sharp angles, there's hidden
streets converging from two lanes to one lane.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
I mean, that's the big thing.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
If you're in a Weymo and you're going up let's
say West Liberty, and you're in two lanes, you know,
and you're going south on West Liberty, and all of
a sudden you get past Fiori's and.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
It turns into one lane, and your waimo's just like.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Dud d and plows right into a bunch of parked cars,
not knowing you know, they're on the map.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
It says, too lane. Was like, well, yeah, I'm not
after noon sayes it.

Speaker 5 (43:06):
Know, all of that stuff make this left not this
the the leftist left right, second left right.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be tricky. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
I feel like if you can't afford other, you know,
entertainment such as Kenny Wood, you could just take a
way mow up rialto and take your life into your hands.
But I don't understand h to Randy's point, I just
don't get how it would get all of our nuances.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
There's too much. So unless it can take rialto, man,
I mean that's the street, right, that's the one, like,
how are you gonna do that? Like that's Harry for
anybody who's present in the driver's seat. If like it can.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Again, I know that even with the other autonomous vehicles
that they had sensors so they could tell like how
close they were to everything. So like in Rialto is
the one that just like makes me pucker just thinking
about it right now. But like it's just you know,
distance from the other cars anyway. But then there's also
like it's it can be closed.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
There's timing differences.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
So like is AI just constantly feeding into that system
where it's always updated.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
I think it's just that's just it.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
It is constantly updating, and it I think will largely
avoid those kinds of roads like oh, you.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Want to go to Troy Hill and we're on twenty eight, Yeah,
we're gonna go all the way down yep, exactly. You
know what I thought of.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
Do you remember whenever you were talking about lift drivers
that you've you've been in before, where the drivers wouldn't
take the most sensible route.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
Yeah, they take whatever's on the and they would take
whatsever on there.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Do you feel like that was almost a way of
testing autonomous vehicle routes, like where the drivers being told
not to.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Deter from you know, whatever the route has been. Like, yes, yes,
because they're proving it.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
I took a when they were testing all those argo
vehicles and stuff and lift an uber had them. Uh
you know, I'm like, I had gone to the I
worked in the North Side. I'd gone to the Pirate
game the night before I got home. I'm late for work.
I'm like, my car's in the North Side and it's
you know, click here to take a driverless uber. But

(45:25):
really at that time, it meant there were two guys
in there. There's the driver and then there's the mapping guy.
And uh, they start right by my house. There's like
a juke that is not actually a juke, but all
of the ride sharing apps take you that way. So
we start to go down and I'm like, no, no, you
don't want to do this. Get back on Liberty Avenue.
You want to get back on Liberty and the guy's like, well, actually,
we haven't mapped this portion of the city yet. We're

(45:48):
going to go this way if it's okay. I'm like, guys,
I am really right behind here, like this is this
is a bit of a jam. It's actually not okay. Yeah,
so they do do that. I don't know we are
going to go through this. You know, there's going to
be like this year eighteen months with I think these
way mos are I assume we'll have you said they're
going to they will do tests.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
It sounds like the tests are going to start this
week in downtown Pittsburgh. They'll still have a human in
the car, so I'm assuming it's kind of like when
somebody's doing you know, they have like a somebody to
break it just in case it goes poorly, but then
there's no firm day for when you can actually start

(46:30):
to use it. Everybody is really building in a time
like a flexible timeline here.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Everybody questions the safety of this. I mean, how can
you have a driverless car who can't account for, you know,
sudden changes in what's going on traffic wise, And the
reality is they've done all the research. These things are safer,
and it doesn't seem like that would be the case,
but they are getting the humans out of the driver's

(46:58):
seat actually makes it safer, which sounds bananas, but it's
statistically held up. Waimo has shot through the roof out
west and it ain't going away, like they love it
out there, and I think it was met with the

(47:18):
kind of pushback that we were all talking about right now,
because it you know, I keep saying, you.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Know, dystopian.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
To me, nothing more blade Runner than getting in a
car that has no driver and you know, hi, where
are you going? Yeah, But once you start doing it, it
starts to be like, oh, this is cool and they
are safe and they're nice cars and the whole thing.
You know, But I kind of like I missed the driver,
you know, have the fun for me of the ride
share is letting the driver onload on you.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
You know.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
There was that show on HBO Taxi Cab Confessions, which
was a great show, and it just showed how people
were willing to spill their guts to strangers, that there
was this weird dynamic of get into a taxi cab
that automatically made these people feel like they could say
anything because it's just gonna stay right here, and then

(48:07):
for that show's purposes, they'd sign a waiver and go,
oh yeah, go ahead, and you use our conversation. But
it is an unfiltered conversation that they have because they
don't know that anybody is filming it.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
And I've always found that to be true.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
You can unload on a string, you can sit next
to somebody on a plane and talk about anything. It's
a weird thing that happens between people. But it's reversed
in ride sharing for some reason. It is when you
get picked up by a lift or an uber, it's
not the rider who does the sharing, it's the driver
who does the sharing. So I have all these audio

(48:42):
files in my phone of conversations that I've had with
Uber drivers for the last ten years, and there's some
unbelievable things in there. The things they're willing to divulge
to you on are it's crazy. They just feel so
comfortable and talk to you about anything, and sometimes you
have these amazing conversations, but other times there are the

(49:04):
tinfoil hat guys, and those are the fun ones that
you can kind of like poke a little bit and
be like really when you get out.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Of the car. Tell someone else. Dude.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
One time, Abby and I got in a car and
we were leaving, Oh Jack White when we were leaving
Jack White show, and we got an uber and the
dude was terrifying.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Like he was like are those Nazi tattoos?

Speaker 9 (49:26):
You know?

Speaker 10 (49:26):
Like he had a shirt on that like denoted something
that was nefarious.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
And I'm like, I'm supposed to get dropped off first.
I'm like texting her like, do you want.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
To get dropped off first? This guy? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (49:42):
And it was big and muscly and we're like, is
he missed January sixth?

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Yeah, it kind of looked like it. And then you
can I'm like, all right, the music will let us know.
The music will let us know, you know, if we
get in, then it's like Romstein or something like that.
You know, actually that would probably be on the same
side of things. And I think he had like yacht
rock on him, Like okay, I feel okay, Hey, he's
got ambrosia on him.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
It's kind of hard to be scared, it is.

Speaker 5 (50:09):
It is weird when you know why the dynamic has
flipped there, It's like, well, it's your car. I guess
I'll ask you this is your car. Yeah, I'm playing
by your rules.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
Yeah. There was a guy that.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
Used to he lived near me, like like clicked on
for a ride. He would just go get in his
car and come get me. And it turned into him
like having his kids.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
In the car.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
And then he's like, hey, meet Randy, and I was
like hey, and they're like yeah, you know the radio.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
I'm like this this feels weird. Yeah, this part feels weird.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
And then another time, a woman's like sitting in the front,
I got too much crap in the back.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
I'm like, you got it.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Lady, just cigarette smoke everywhere, like she clearly just tossed
it out the window and then all of her bills
jumped out of the the the visor and just laying
it on my lap and she goes, ah bleep, and
I'm like I'll get him, it's fine, And she's like
I just to get to those and I'm like, you
should get a rubber band, like just you know, because
they're all over the place now, And that to me

(51:07):
is pure entertainment.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
I mean, those interactions are great.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
There are the times though, where I just get crazy people,
you know, But like occasionally there are ones that I'm like,
i was in a like not a great place one day.
I'm just like in the worst mood and things were bad,
and this older guy picked me up to take me
down on the North Side for something, and he started talking.
He's like, man, I've been driving a cab in Pittsburgh

(51:32):
for like sixty five years.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
And he had this like great jazz station on he's
listening to.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
I'm like, man, I'm like, no kid, and I'm like,
by the way, like this, you know, great tune here,
like Ramsey Lewis, Stuff's like real funky. He's like, oh yeah, man,
you know I've been in the Pittsburgh jazz scene for
a long time. I'm like really, And then he starts
telling these stories about being a part as a patron
of the legendary Pittsburgh jazz scene of the late fifties

(51:59):
and sixties. This guy was in his seventies, you know,
late seventies. He was an older fella, and was just
talking about seeing all these greats, the Crawford Grill and
all of those legendary Hill District venues at the time
when Pittsburgh was like a stop on the jazz tour route.
You know, it's Kansas City, Pittsburgh, New York. You know,

(52:19):
it was like a train that went right through and
all the greats played here and this guy who was
just telling me these stories and it was like I
would have paid for it, you know. And then I
got out of the car and I told my friend,
I'm like, I just had the best ride ever.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Man.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
This guy was incredible and he was telling me about
famous people he picked up through the years and stuff.
I'm like, I felt so great about it, and then
like my ride home that night was like the car
stunk so bad.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
Yeah. The guy was like, I'll tell you what the
problem is, you know, and I'm like I don't want to,
you know, I don't want to have a problem. We
just go no, I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
And then he went into his manifesto, you know, and
I was like, Okay, this is this balanced out the
evening nicely.

Speaker 5 (52:59):
Yeah, they say Chris Rock is a body double. Wait
why I've had that, man, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
I've had that level of tinfoil on those rides.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
No, it's gonna be bad as soon as somebody picks
me up and they just go, oh.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
This is a nice neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Well, it's like somehow the car smells like Monster energy
drink that's been in there for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
And somehow celery guys like I pee you in a jar.
I don't even stop. I just pee in this jar.
Keep going, you need to go. There's a lot of
room in this one.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
So it'll be interesting to figure out if these uh
when they're able to program into these way moos, Hey
uh waimo.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Can we stop at a gas station please?

Speaker 5 (53:46):
I gotta get some sins. I need a gain rade,
I need some tobacco. There's just some things like you
can do that. Yeah, you can literally go on your
app and be like, hey pull re route to here.
You can add a stop, but can you drunkenly beg
it part of the experience.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
Do four dollars extra extra? Can we please do it?
I need to get to that gick go and get
some slim gyms. Dad, we can beg it to take
us to karaoke so we can all do in your.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
That is a funny thing that when you're driving the uber, dude, hey, hey,
you pull over.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
I just I have to get a slice.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
I have bribed drivers with slices of pizza from furies before,
like Hey, dude, brilliant dude. I will buy you a
couple slices of pizza if you stop at Furies and
they're like done, who says no you Yeah. Occasionally some
people aren't wanting to have pizza.

Speaker 5 (54:49):
You know.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
If you have somebody who's a little less familiar with
the Pittsburgh landscape, they're like what uh.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Yeah, no, no, well you want you want to do?
What is a trick? Furies?

Speaker 2 (55:00):
And then they just point at the GPS and they
go here and they're just want.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
More stops. Never go to a second location. Yeah, I
am very afraid of where you are taking.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
It's Brookline. You'll be fine, yeah, waymo. Though, you know
people are going to start balling in those things too.
Oh and they bust you immediately. What do you mean
if you smoke right shuts down?

Speaker 4 (55:27):
He said, balling And I thought, well that crying home
where I'd be like, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
No, I meant like like fornicating. Oh oh yeah. If
you do anything untoward in those things, they there's like
someone watching you. It like it triggers the trouble in car,
you know, seven eighty five B. And then they pop
on a video and you're in there, you know, doing

(55:56):
whatever you do.

Speaker 5 (55:58):
You know, if you can't have sex, set a driver
this car, what's the point happened?

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Why? Why are we doing this? What's the point.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
It's so funny to think because if you're a high
school kid, if that is something you get away with,
I mean, you're always looking for a place to go
when you're younger. We were talking about that, like how
in movie theaters people would go to movie theaters and
like get the third base in a movie theater because
it was dark, play night news.

Speaker 15 (56:26):
Exactly telling you you can't hook up in the way Mo,
You'll think you can because you had a few cocktails,
and you know, as soon as that starts happening, it's
like a picture of a nun comes, you know, pops
onto the screen.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
What Waymo's limit is though? For like for stuff first
base stuff stuff? Yeah, but what.

Speaker 4 (56:50):
You know, like at what point, like, I mean, look
what I'm making out and then there's weamo like you
know he.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
Weimos these articles of clothing. What if what if it
starts like directing take off her bro. She doesn't like
that take off for bro. She does not like that
slower trump, trumpy, Hey, you're activating a core wound. That's

(57:21):
all I'm saying, be careful, that's all. He's a red flag.
This is not a good guy.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
No, he'll get to the point where they like you
sit down and it does a scan of your body
and then it tells you all the STD easiest person has.
It's like, are you STD compatible? And then it's just
like an image of the guy there, and then it's
like gonorrhea, chlamydia. That cult sre it genital warts and
then they look at each other and.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Might as well the snl skit the last person at
the bar at the end of the night, and they're like,
screw it, we're in the Waimo already, let's go.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
But the other thing I think that's gonna happen is
because I've seen people fighting for ubers on the North
Shore after Steelers games, where it's the funniest thing. It's like, dude,
it's not your car. But people are like, I call
it first.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
It's like, yeah, but that's not your car, and they
fail to grasp that it's not a cab. It's not
first come first.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Sir, Like you have to get into this specific one
or it's just going to take you somewhere else anyways,
Like you're not even connected to the driver on the app.
That's one hundred percent happening, you know, Tequila Cowboy. Someone's
rolling out of there, they see a waymouth, get in,
sit down and.

Speaker 5 (58:35):
Prying open the door of the waimou. That's going like
they're gonna have to account for that.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Actually, I do think if I'm remembering correct, I think
there might be a QR code that you get and
then you have to scan.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
It won't go until you do that.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
Now that I'm remembering, I was gonna say you should
be able to open it with your phone or something.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Yeah, I think that's what it is. It makes sense.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
It'll be pretty interesting to see if it catches on
here in Pittsburgh, no doubt about it.

Speaker 5 (59:00):
It's just another thing that the brave jitney drivers of
Pittsburgh are gonna have to deal with.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
What is the what is the situation in the jitney
community these days? It has to be morale has to
be low.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
Every Steeler game, I'm like, all right, I'm not jitney
at home. I'm just gonna wait out the high rates
from the ride sharing apps. And then every game I'm outside,
soho like, how you doing stopped at the red light
taking rides. Some people have noted that, They're like, what
do you mean by that?

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (59:30):
Yeah, right, and then but other dudes are like, yeah,
I'll shut the app off. Let's go where you go, Bloomfield,
And then you have the discussion. Sometimes it ends in
no way. Sometimes it's like, sure, right, shutting the app
off is the way to go.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
I mean that is like, that's like turning an uber
driver somebody who was legitimate man into a jitney.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
Yeah, into a jitney. I'm talking about the days of
on the South Side when the only way out of
there was the jitney's right. Yeah. I talked about him
before I had it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
I had one scary ride where I made this woman
drum me off blocks from my house. I'm like, no,
I live here, and I was like, I think that's
the last chimney drive I'm taking, cause it just.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Got very Yeah. Yeah, I was not going well.

Speaker 5 (01:00:16):
I had a year's long relationship with this guy named Kevin,
and I found his card at a bar on the
floor of Carson City Saloon like years ago, and I
used to call him in my rowdier days. I'd call
him in every time I called him without fail. He
answers the phone and he's at Erotica.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Dad, what's going on?

Speaker 16 (01:00:40):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
How good? keV?

Speaker 17 (01:00:44):
Listen, I'm at slap Shots. I'm in real trouble here.
I'm in trouble. You gotta hurry. I'll be there at
seven minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:00:54):
And then he would come and get you, and it
was it was like it was a good to get
a ride because you weren't driving, but it was bad
because he was driving.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
No, he was a good dude.

Speaker 5 (01:01:05):
But I This went on for years, so we would
like kind of pick up where we left off. And
I remember one time I got in and he's like, like, Kevin,
what's going on?

Speaker 8 (01:01:13):
Brother?

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
He's like, Dad, good to see him. Hey, I got
some I got some news for you. Like what's up.
He's like, I just found out I have a son
again over sharing.

Speaker 5 (01:01:25):
Yeah, like, oh Kevin, congratulations, Like tell me about He
was like he's nineteen, he's any smart kid. Oh, good
looking kid, smart kid. Wow she gets from showing you
pictures of him. Yeah, he's got his own chymney service
up there.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Chip Up the old block just goes up and down
Philadelphia Street, taking people from kangaroos. The what's the other
bar up there? Face? Yeah, exactly way, mom, look for
it on a street corner near you. Freezing and cold today,
a high thirty four. All right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
We used to do pick six, but we'll do three
and out today for you. Coming up some forty five.
Missy Matthews, big cat guy Junker. Mike Pursuda with your
sports when we come back on DVE.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
What do you want to hear that road the Pittsburgh tradition,
built by Pittsburgh's happens weekdays at noon the all request
of electric lunch. That's one of the best on DVE
from the Bridge Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
All right, Mike Persuda, getting you ready for Steelers Ravens Sunday,
a one o'clock game live from Baltimore, right here on
your radio, home of the Black and Gold.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
One oh two point five.

Speaker 10 (01:02:36):
DVE Sports is not brought to you by Bridgeville Plants.
This is all acquiess to our public service requirement. If
you're going to the game and you're gonna wear Steeler gear,
be prepared to get in a fight.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Ever since Tony Siragusa told Ravens fans that if you
see a Steeler fan, beat them up in the bathroom.
That has been the vibe for Steelers Ravens games in
Baltimore ever since.

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
I spent a lot of time time looking for that
clip online. Can't find it, can't find it anywhere. They
scrubbed it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
I don't remember if he had said it like on.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
A television or it was a radio show. I thought
it was a lot of radio. Okay, maybe that was it.
I know their sideline reporter for a long time.

Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
That's when it was when he used to dress up
like Baca Law from the Sopranos and delivered sideline reports.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
I love Goose, but like when he said that, I
was like, whoa, I don't think you know what You've
just stirred up there.

Speaker 10 (01:03:28):
Yeah, well it didn't take a lot of start too true,
little little nudge. Okay, now remember how I got it?

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
By the way, Sire Goosa underrated actor. He was pretty
damn good in twenty fifth Hour.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
He was a meathead. Okay, he was good at it.

Speaker 18 (01:03:45):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
Corney Love almost got nominated for an Oscar for being
what she is.

Speaker 10 (01:03:48):
Yeah, one of the uh, one of the quintessential pit
guys of that era when Pitt was just a really
good team and had a bunch of wild and crazy characters.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
He was one of, no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
I remember going to a tailgate at three River Stadium
when he played for the Colts because my brother was
friends with him, and you know, a bunch of his friends.

Speaker 10 (01:04:09):
They all ran in the same circles. My brother's like, Hey,
we're gonna go to Goose to tailgate. You should come
with us.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
I'm like, all right, and I went and he was like,
it's like a mascot in the parking lot, you know
what I mean. He's just he was such a massive
person and there's just a line, like a receiving line
of people that wanted to hang out with them, and
he's just crushing beers Russ Grim style, both hands, you.

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
Know, bang bang bang bang. My god to the face,
gone crush. And he was celebrated for it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
He was I loved I thought he was hilarious. It's
a different time. That was in two thousand and one,
and he claimed it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
Was a joke. By the way, there was not a joke. Okay,
Well he said it was a joke.

Speaker 10 (01:04:46):
Well, he's trying to cover this rather ample backside. In
the immediate aftermath of a passing attack disaster against Buffalo
Aaron Rodgers was asked what could be done to get
the quarterbacks and the wide receivers on the same page
with more regularity. Rogers's response was somewhat cryptic quote, when
there's film sessions. When there's film sessions, everybody show up.

(01:05:10):
When I checked to a route, run the right route.
That demanded a little clarification. Yesterday, what I was talking.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
About was during the week.

Speaker 11 (01:05:19):
You know, we have our our meetings on Thursdays, and
I meant that everybody come there with an open mind
and be self critical, and you know, work on the
things you gotta work on, and then let's get better.
As far as any off the field stuff, I'm not
going to talk about.

Speaker 3 (01:05:37):
Any of that. Yeah. See, I don't think that's quite
what he meant.

Speaker 10 (01:05:40):
If he met everybody should come with an open mind
and be self critical, I would think he would have said, well,
when we meet, everybody should come with an open mind
and be self critical. I kind of show up in
the uh, be present sort of.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
If you go back to the original quote, though, I
think there's some plausible deniability for him to have actually
meant that, because he didn't say people aren't showing up
to the meetings.

Speaker 10 (01:06:04):
He did not, But I think what he was talking about.
They do these periodic get togethers at night in the evenings,
and I think he was hoping that everybody would start coming,
because find I guess that everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Everybody does not. Again, weird, this is exactly what we
were talking about. Dad. He's like, well, I won't people
come into my party.

Speaker 10 (01:06:23):
Yeah, like DK Metcalf for examples, asked about it yesterday,
he said he didn't go this week. He said, well,
I meet with Aaron and Arthur Smith every Thursday morning
and they do spend some time at the facility working
on this stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Despite what it looks like.

Speaker 10 (01:06:38):
Sometimes according to Calvin Austin, the off the field stuff
rogers and the pass catchers, it's a little bit bonding
getting to know you type of stuff and a little
bit hey, let's get to the nuts and bolts of
playing the game.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
I feel like he's both.

Speaker 19 (01:07:00):
You know, anytime you're outside the facility, I mean, that's
the bonding part, even if you are talking xes and oh,
being outside the facility and spending time that isn't inventory
together is a form of bonding.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
So it's a it's a it's both. Isn't mandatory because
you know they have lives, right.

Speaker 10 (01:07:20):
And of course they work, they show up early, they
have meetings, they have practices, they have position meetings. But
according to Calvin Austin, Aaron Rodgers has got more to
offer than what the business hours allow.

Speaker 19 (01:07:35):
Obviously, we spend the majority of our day here going
over those things and stuff, and so we always feel
like we're ready in the position. But it's like, you know,
when you're at the Hall of Fame quarterback, you know,
it's stuff past the X y Z that he can
he can give you that could you know, not only
help put you in a position to make a play,

(01:07:57):
but help the team team win. So it's a it's
just you know, he can't share all his knowledge even
this whole year, but he can't share all of his
knowledge just within just from eight to five and we're
in the building, you know, So it's just about just
getting all those nuggets from him.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
So is it every week? It has is? I want
to say every week? You know, it's it's we we
meet with eight a lot. So I just say that
we meet him a lot. Maybe they're literal nuggets, guys,
fresh snugs, showing up.

Speaker 10 (01:08:35):
Now, this isn't something that's new that Rogers has brought
to the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (01:08:41):
The pass catchers would meet with Russell Wilson when he
was playing last year, but uh a little little different,
uh tenor to the meetings, Russell Wilson was not the
uh x's and o's breaker down of film that Aaron
Rodgers is, but uh, Russell's Moore, but get to know
you kind of guy.

Speaker 19 (01:09:02):
I feel like last year with Rush, we definitely did
a lot of I would say, just more so like
bonding stuff as far as like eating and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
They're like, you know, this year's look good makes of both.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
It's funny to imagine those guys having competing parties and
then the wide receivers having to choose where they're going
to go.

Speaker 10 (01:09:25):
Boy, right, So if Florio's listening because he's obsessed with this,
he is obsessed with this. You know it's optional to
go to the after practice stuff and everybody's still in
the during practice stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
I'm also okay with Aaron Rodgers as much as I'm
joking about him just wanting to have some friends come over,
like just play Madden for saying out that he insists
on that being loosely organized and wanting people to be
dedicated on that level because they're not exactly firing on
all cylinders exact.

Speaker 20 (01:09:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:09:57):
I couldn't agree with you more. And I think that's
one of the reasons. That's why he's had the career
he has had. He is not and he has said this,
He talked about this with us a training kip. He
doesn't want to be just a football player, but he
really likes being a football player and being a good one,
and he wants to be as good as he can
possibly be, and he wants to get everything out of
it that he possibly can. And he's I think a

(01:10:20):
lot more maniacal than most, which again is why he's
had the career he's had. Yeah, you know, he could
do this stuff all the time, apparently. I hope he
can get understand over a third down red zone. Yeah,
let's spend another hour and a half on that. Like
some guys like, Yeah, I'm good, I get that. I'm
not going to be critical. No, they should not be

(01:10:40):
expected to wake up at six in the morning and
study this crap until eleven at night for six months.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Also, I want them to be that obsessed that they
want to. I guarantee you Scaronic is there from the
second it starts and he's the last one out of there.

Speaker 10 (01:10:54):
He's probably pulling pranks to though, well, who cares the
point being okay, I want guys behind the third red
zielthe They got a chance, They still have a chance
to not disappoint this year they do it has been disappointing.
I think it's been frustrating.

Speaker 2 (01:11:12):
Oh dude, come on, I mean leaving second half leads
against the Bears, Bills, No, not the Bills, but yeah,
the Packers.

Speaker 10 (01:11:20):
I've watched the game. Beating New England was pretty cool.
Beating the Colts was pretty cool. The Minnesota thing in
Dublin was pretty cool. I mean they're six and six. Yes,
it's I guess mediocre, which you expected to be better
than that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
But all of a sudden you are casting a completely
different light if you beat the Ravens. On Sunday, a

of two point five DVE DV Morning show and Randy
Baman along with Addy Krisner and Mike Pursuda, our buddy
Ted Whistle hanging out with us this morning, and Jacob
rec Our producer all season long. You know Bill and
I were giving you the pick six. Well, well now

(01:14:52):
he flew to Coop, so it's left to me to
give you three and out. Now, these are three three games,
three picks guaranteed, probably possibly maybe win. You might cover anyways, Mike,
I'll need your help on this to get me started.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
What's the first game? Number one Bears at Packers minus
six and a half Bears and the Packers.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
This rivalry is so old Jordan Hudson wants to have
sex with it and become its business manager. The Bears
and the Packers have been playing each other since nineteen
twenty one, when Chicago beat Green Bay by a score
of twenty to nothing behind the slashing running style of
halfback gay Lord Stinchcomb. Gay Lord's nickname was Pete because
in nineteen twenty one, no one could bring themselves to

(01:15:34):
call another man gay lord in public, and it was
in fact illegal in some.

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
Parts of Kansas.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
It's going to be a classic December game at Lambeau
with below freezing temperatures and snow flurries, the kind of
game that used to give John Madden an erection and
cause Pat summer All to ask him to please move
down a couple of seats. Both teams are coming off
impressive road wins. The Packers stuffed the Lions gibblets back
up into their body cavity on Turkey Day mashing at

(01:16:01):
Ford Field, and the Bears dealt the Eagles more than
they bargained for on Black Friday in afrankas in Philly,
where Chicago may have finally broken the tush push. Bear's
cornerback Nayseean Wright found out that if you just just
jam your hand in the middle of the tush push,
the quarterback will not only drop the ball, he'll sing
Moon River and leave his cell phone in your locker.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
But the rivalry has been.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
Kind of in hibernation as of late because of Green
Bay's recent dominance. Matt Lafleur went eleven to zero against
Chicago until losing last year in the regular season finale,
but now with Ben Johnson making the Bears revenant, the
matchup has renewed vigor, especially because of what Johnson said
upon taking the gig and staying in the NFC North.

(01:16:46):
To be quite frank with you, I enjoyed beating met
Lafleur twice a year. Oh don't get cocky, Johnson, Sure
you're a big hit at the Wieners Circle where you
bear chested that postgame celebration in Philly to guarantee free
hot dogs to Bears fans at the famous Chicago eatery.

(01:17:08):
So you weren't being quite frank. You were actually being
quite a few francs. But the Green Bay Packers are
about to pour cheese all over your Chicago dog. Caleb
Williams is still trying to master the forward pass with
limited success, and Micah Parsons has turned on his former
wrecket Ralph self. The Packers got the better quarterback and
the better defense. Jordan Love and the Packers are on

(01:17:30):
a roll, and the Bears won't be able to.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
Turn them around.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Take the Packers Eagles.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Hut Chargers plus three.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
The Eagles Super Bowl hangover was raging last week. That
sleepwalk lost to the Bears was the equivalent of getting
up and peeing all over the toilet you puked in
a few hours before before stumbling back to bed. But
this Monday night, they're hoping there's a big bottle at
Gator eighte and a greasy burger waiting for them stadium
in the form of the Los Angeles Chargers. Let's start

(01:18:04):
with the Chargers there's big news for them now. That's
whether or not Justin Herbert will play after having surgery
Monday to repair a bone in his non throwing hand.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
He still threw.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Two tds against Las Vegas last week with the broken hand,
which must have caused a great deal of hand envy
from Kenny Pickett on the opposite side lines, I.

Speaker 6 (01:18:23):
Won't even have bones in my ten tiny hands.

Speaker 3 (01:18:27):
Just Joey show off.

Speaker 2 (01:18:30):
So Herbert is likely going to play, but he'll be
limited in what he can do under center Sam Familiar. However,
running back O'maron Hampton also likely returning from injury for
LA so don't be surprised if Hampton comes alive. Sorry,
it was either that or a Hampton end joke. But
Mike is staying there tonight and I don't want you

(01:18:51):
to get pink eye.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
As for the.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Eagles, their offense has been as effective as a mesh condom.
The whole town wants to offensive coordinator Kevin Bittulo. Philly
fans started making signs saying fire poop too low, Never
change Philly sa Kwan Barkley's been about as explosive as
Charles Barkley and Jalen Hurts downfield vision has been a
wonder Stevie wonder. More precisely, despite their two consecutive losses,

(01:19:18):
he did start forcing the ball to AJ Brown, and
that's made AJ happy, which in turn made the Eagles
fans unhappy that AJ wasn't more unhappy about the Eagles losing.
Turns out it's not always Sonny in Philadelphia, and now
I know why they all go to wah wah. This
one's easy unless Big dam is having some of his
good fellow cronies pull a galulee on Herbert's hand. I

(01:19:41):
think that weird O Harbaugh's defense is gonna flush poop
too low into the Pacific. Take the home dogs in
the points, go to Chargers. By the way, good sleeper
pick for AFC champion. By the way, the Chargers look
out for the Chargers. Just saying mats.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Stealer Seth Ravens minus five and a half. I like that.
You don't agree with that? Ers all right? The main
event Steelers Ravens.

Speaker 2 (01:20:04):
When these two teams play each other, you can throw
out the record books, or in this case of these
two quarterbacks, overthrow out the record books. Yes, the Battle
of the AFC North is being waged by a single
risted forty two year old quarterback who's doing the football
version of Danny Glover and lethal weapon.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
I'm getting too old for this pit.

Speaker 10 (01:20:23):
And Lamar Jackson, who's enough funk deeper than James Brown
could ever hope to have found himself in.

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
How bad did it get for Aaron Rodgers last week?

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
He finished listen to this last in EPA plus CPOE
composite rating in week thirteen games?

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Can you believe that? Now?

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
I don't know what either of those things mean, but
I do know the Steelers offense isma and the team
is doa if he doesn't pull his head from his ass.
The number one task for the Steelers this Sunday they
gotta stop Derrick Henry, and regarding Henry will be a
tough task given that James Cook burnt the Steelers to
a Chris Pittsburgh rare on Sunday, so rare it was

(01:21:03):
the most they've been seared on the ground in fifty years.
I haven't seen a Cook run away from Pittsburgh that
fast since Kevin Sussa tried to outrun all those lawsuits
years ago. Hey, at least he had Fetterman blocking for him.
I don't know what the Steelers excuse was. Renegade got booed.
They're chanting fire Tomlin, And every time I open up Twitter,

(01:21:26):
Matt Williamson has another factoid tweet about how historically awful
this team is.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
Every tweet's like.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
Pittsburgh has a minus forty nine point differential in the
second half in overtime of games this season, the worst
since penicillin was invented.

Speaker 3 (01:21:38):
Jesus, that seems like a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
Pittsburgh's total yards through Week fourteen worse since the nineteen
nineteen Akron Bulldogs were decimated by the Spanish flu and
had to use a golt a goat as a full back.

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
We get it, now, we get it. The good news for.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
Aaron is that if he's able to keep from having
the rest of his nose ripped off by the newly
rejuvenated Raven's pass rush, he's got a new target to
ignore his audibles in Thirty five year old former Viking
Adam thalen Feelin wanted his release from the Vikings after
getting scratched so he could join the Steelers and get mauled.
But now you know, next to DK he's likely better

(01:22:15):
than anything else. We have on our roster, and I
bet it won't be long before Rogers has that feeling feeling,
although I still don't understand why they don't use Friar Muthmore.

Speaker 3 (01:22:23):
I keep getting told Arthur Smith loves.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
Tight ends, he loves a big fan, but Mouth and
John who don't do squad. It's like how my aunt
kept telling me for years my cousin Timmy like girls. Yeah,
well why doesn't he incorporate them more often?

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Turns out Timmy was into tight ends? But what is that?

Speaker 2 (01:22:45):
What has happened to the ones? Mighty AFC North? I mean,
all four teams are a mess in one way or another.
The Browns have no offense, the Bengals have no defense.
The Ravens offense is starting to stink, and their defense,
which used to stink, is starting to get pretty good.
And the Steelers defense is on the field so long
it's no longer a steel curtain, it's a tarp. Sure,

(01:23:06):
the Ravens are probably the better team by a beak.
And with the injury to Harmon King, Henry will make
Patrick Henry blush with the liberties he plans to take
with the Steelers defense.

Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
That was for you Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:23:18):
But this is AFC North football, and when this locker
room sees that the fan base has turned on someone
they love and revere, by gosh, darn damn Galli, they
will rise up and support their guy after he's been booed.
So you bet you're black and gold ass that the
Steelers are gonna rise up and win this one for Dynasty.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
Young and Sticks.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
That's right, Boddy, we doing it for Sticks, Revive, Renegade.
The Steelers are gonna be sitting pretty atop the AFC
North when this one is all finished. Take the Steelers
and that's your three and out On the DBE Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (01:24:05):
It's Trony Batch for bet Park's online casino and sportsbook
app where there's always another way to win.

Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
I had a year's long relationship with this guy named Kevin,
and I found his card at a bar on the
floor of Carson City Saloon like years ago, and I
used to call him in my rowdier days. I'd call
him in every time I called him, without fail. He
answers the phone and he's at Erotica.

Speaker 9 (01:24:43):
Dad.

Speaker 3 (01:24:43):
What's going on?

Speaker 9 (01:24:44):
Man?

Speaker 17 (01:24:44):
How you doing, brother, good keV, Listen, I'm at slap shots.

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
I'm in real trouble.

Speaker 1 (01:24:51):
Here.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
I get a right, I'm in real trouble. You've got
to hurry. I'll be there at seven minutes. And then
he would come and get you.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
It was good to get a ride because you weren't driving,
but it was bad because he was driving. Now, he
was a good dude, but I this just went on
for years, so we would like kind of pick up
where we left off.

Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
And uh. I remember one time I got in and
he's like, Kevin, what's going on?

Speaker 8 (01:25:14):
Brother?

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
He's like, Dad, good to see him. Hey, I got
some I got some news for you. What's up. He's like,
just found out I have a son, Brandy Bellman and
the dB and he goes to IUB. That's so funny.
You just jogged my memory. Though.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
I remember the jitny that I was using that was
a little more organized. There was like a phone number
I could call and this guy he would dispatch like
he had four or five drivers under that's awesome, and
you would just tip the hell out of them. Basically,
it was like, you know, you paid uber prices, you know,
during surge, it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Was kind of the equivalent of that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
But a couple of those dudes would like pick me
up late from wherever I was, and I knew them all,
and I, you know, get along with them and we
were like BSN And then I'd be like, what are
you doing now?

Speaker 3 (01:25:58):
And they'd be like, dahg, you're mon one, I'm going home.
And I'll be like want a beer and they're like yeah,
and then we just like go in my basement crack beers,
put on the tunes, continue the conversation we had, and
you know, fire up a smoke, and the next thing
you know, it's like, all right, now it's three thirty
and the cab driver's still in my house. You know
I need you to leave. But he was never weird.

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
But in the back of my mind, I was always like,
it could get weird, but they were always pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
Yeah, that's what Aaron Rodgers wants. He just wants a
couple guys to hang out.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
Chop it up, dude. I will go to Aaron Rodgers'
house and hang out with him. I'll have I'll sit
and watch whatever he wants me to watch. Oh man,
imagine that they'd be like, did you ever see loose change?
And you know, yeah, I know I don't need to
see that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:40):
Can we do the route tree again? Aaron, Yeah, show absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He gets all excited. What if he is just like
a doting mom and it's really adorable and it's really
all about football and none of the conspiracy stuff that
I'm joking about, and he really is like comes around, He's.

Speaker 6 (01:26:53):
Like, I made writes Krispy treats, and I guess I
made too many because DK didn't come.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
Well, then those guys should be a shame, I hope.
So he brings me in the next day. He's like, well,
you didn't come last night, so they're cold. Now they're
a really good when they came out of the oven
last night. Just chronicle tell you, Wonn't they good anyways?

Speaker 3 (01:27:17):
Scenario of him being said she's like kuronics basically Gino, Yeah, no, yeah, no,
they're good. You sure, right, Ben? Yeah? All right? What
do you got going on?

Speaker 12 (01:27:27):
This?

Speaker 4 (01:27:27):
This hour is brought to you by Window Nation. It's
breezy and cold today with a high of thirty four.
See you a little bit of sunshine later, all right.
Pittsburgh's gonna have a Crampis Fest on Friday, at Penn
Brewery and the event is free.

Speaker 3 (01:27:41):
It's all ages.

Speaker 4 (01:27:43):
But I think you have to use a little bit
of discretion here if your kid can handle the site
of Crampis, because there will be many in Crampis, of course,
is a little opposite of Santa right, So this is
a little bit more of a tool to scare your
children into behaving, not so much of a jolly man
bringing them presents.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Right, it's like a German thing, right, Like the Germans
they did this to like frighten their kids into being
good and coming from German stock, this checks out definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
Yeah, I just feelt not good. So crampst monster will
come and eat you in the middle of the night.
Are you crying now, sweet Williams. Not only will Clampuss
take your pleasance, he beat you.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Do you ever see that the one girl on TikTok
who does vacationing with a German and she's like with
an American and she just rips on the American the
whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:28:31):
She's like, are you still sleeping? It's six thirty am,
Get off, sleepyhead. Did you want to Oh you want
to sleep away your vacation? That's fine. It seems like
you're eating again. What do you want to do gain
one thousand pounds on this vacation. Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:28:45):
The castle over there is where they hid the children,
and in that room they put the ugly kids.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
You should go in there. That's a joke. You're not ugly,
but you should. I've been walking for three miles already.

Speaker 12 (01:28:57):
How are you.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Tired, dude?

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
I listen to Werner hertz uh book on tape, his autobiography,
just because I wanted to hear Werner Hertzog because he
makes me laugh so hard just hearing his voice. I
couldn't take it. After a while, the stories were just
so insane. I'm like, I can't, I can't keep indulging this,
but I wanted to. He is my That is my
favorite comedy accent though, Werner Herzog.

Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
If you just hear him talking, I start laughing. And
he's so miserable. Yeah, he is.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
And my sister spent a lot of time working in
Germany and she speaks German and so she can do
it like she can tomitat him perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
It always makes me laugh.

Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
Well, if you're able to check out Grampus Fest again,
which is tomorrow. Pen Brewery highlights will include the band
Slayer and they always do good Christmas mashup. It's almost
like if ac DC were doing Christmas songs.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
It's very powerful. We've heard them before.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
I would love to get those guys on the show.
I wish I would have had a little lead up
to this. But is this the only show they're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
I don't think it is. I think it fun to
have them in studio. Don't you think They roll through
around Christmas.

Speaker 4 (01:29:56):
Time and they do a bunch of dates and I've
got a connection, So let's see if we can make
that happened. But there's also going to be a parade
and you can get photos with Crampis in addition to
enjoying the vendor market.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
So again you can enjoy that tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
Maybe Aaron Rodgers should hire them for film Night and
guys will want to come on over.

Speaker 5 (01:30:11):
Guys, may I present Crampis. You guys like music? Everybody does, right,
unless you're like a weirdo.

Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
I don't know awkward about music. What does Aaron Rodgers
listen to? Is?

Speaker 5 (01:30:28):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
And did you say? Anya? Yeah? Say?

Speaker 5 (01:30:36):
He's uh, He's like at thirty nine, way too late.
He's like you guys heard of this. Dave Matthews man,
he kind of does have a Dave Matthews vapp.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
Why I know that, Like my god, Miles Teller is
his best buddy, and I just kind of think, like
Miles Teller is a deadhead.

Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Oh you an outside chance.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
That Aaron Rodgers is one of those sort of you know,
there's a big sort of libertarian bend in the dead
d world and I could see him being into that too.

Speaker 4 (01:31:06):
Yeah, that tracks right, Ayahuasca Jameson.

Speaker 5 (01:31:11):
You know Jack Straws actually about taxation, how unfair it
is what you're killing us media. He just misses all
the points, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:31:22):
I sent this to your Twitter DM Randy, and I
texted it to you Tad. But this is a story
you kind of need to see a little bit of
a visual.

Speaker 3 (01:31:30):
We'll do our best to describe it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
A festive ice rink installed in Italy has heared some
controversy for insulting the memory of Luciano Pavarotti. The rank,
meant to be bringing seasonal cheer, featured a raised platform
and clear plexiglass barriers around a bronze monument of the opera.

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
Great skaters were encouraged.

Speaker 4 (01:31:54):
Via social media to skate around and high five the statue,
which for some reason started to sink, and so it
is way too small.

Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
He kind of looks like a munchin.

Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Yes, and this was very insulting to Pavaratti's widow, Yes,
who called the setup.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Ridiculing and insult to his memory.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
Because every joke about Pavaratti was about his weight. And
then they created a statue that collapsed the ice underneath
him and he's knee deep in the ice rink, and
it's like a real insult to a guy who battled

(01:32:39):
fat jokes his whole life.

Speaker 3 (01:32:41):
You're really seeing the fattest part.

Speaker 5 (01:32:43):
Of him, right, get so spindly. He looks like Tim
Conway doing Dorf dof on opera, Like, hey, when you
skate by, give him a high five.

Speaker 3 (01:33:01):
I know that is funny. He loved them so much,
you should be able to tickle his belly, and he
just goes. The mayor called it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
A mistake and said there was no intent to offend,
but dismantling the rink at this point is technically unfeasible.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
Yeah, So they have him like cordoned off and it
now looks like like fat hon solo in the carbonate.

Speaker 3 (01:33:25):
That's basically what it looks like like poor Pavaratti. Actually,
wasn't he a letch? Wasn't Pavaratti a me tuned guy?

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Didn't he get me tuned by like really a lot
of people?

Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
I mean, it sounds plausible. I'm gonna go with it. Yeah,
and maybe this is the penance for that. Yeah, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:33:47):
Ummm, yeah, yeah, Well that's a fun search. New film
lifts lid on Pavara's wild life of sex and excess.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
Sex is good for you being on the stage during
a show. It's the best.

Speaker 19 (01:34:08):
What.

Speaker 2 (01:34:09):
Yeah, apparently he was pretty raunchy. I don't know if
he got me too, but I think he was just
kind of a you know, one of.

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
Those dudesal it exactly. I'd like to do some breath work.
Catch my meaning.

Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
He said sex is always good for you if your
little friend asks for it. It doesn't matter if it's
before or after the show. The best thing would be
during the show, on the only table on the stage.
And the film goes on to show it says the
one hundred and fifty kilogram singer, I don't know how

(01:34:49):
much that is, and pounds he demanded pounds of pasta,
parmesan cheese, and salami.

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
When he toured this guy, he did it right.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
His idea of dyeing was to eat a meal of chicken,
beans and mashed potatoes, followed by three scoops of ice cream,
leaving a fourth scoop in the bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:35:07):
No, no fourth scoop for Barati, So smart, dirshall three pounds? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
Look, dude could sing, and he came from humble roots
and grew up during a time when Italian men weren't
exactly expected to be woke. So none of those viewpoints
are surprising. But so full and then to sorry, all right,
let's have some sex. Now, I just say the seven

(01:35:35):
thousand calorie meal and it's time for the sex.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
He's looking at the leftover scoop of ice cream.

Speaker 18 (01:35:40):
He's like, finish the sex, eat the last scoop, must
finish the sex, melting heat, the beat, beat the scoop,
beat the scoop, Hurry before the scoop melts.

Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
Anyhow, there's a whole bunch of articles on what it
just He was a perv really beautiful wife though you know.

Speaker 3 (01:36:02):
Lucky her.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
Yeah, apparently he was good friends with Bono and Ron
Howard is the one that did the documentary on documentary
on him if you want to search that out. So
so I'm sure Anton Williams is it it somewhere all right?

Speaker 4 (01:36:20):
This actually can get us into a little bit of
a topic here on etiquette on posting other people in
your photos on things like Instagram. So Neil Patrick Harris
was a bit shook after Abby Lee Miller, who has
a local connection here of course dance Moms and also
former convict I believe, posted a heavily filtered photo of

(01:36:43):
she and Neil Patrick Harris together on Instagram, prompting him
to ask, what did you do.

Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
To my face?

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
Miller had this photo where she went to go see
his Broadway show Art and she praised the show and
the caption. But then when she put kind of a
carousel of photos, she had all these different stars, but
the one, the only one that she altered was her
and Neil Patrick Harris, and she air brushed the living

(01:37:11):
daylights out of his face, like he looks like a
Ken doll photo.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
It doesn't make sense. Do you know what it looks like?

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Do you remember when that old Italian lady repainted over
that painting to try.

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
And repair a story like it doesn't look like.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
Exactly that's what she made Neil Patrick Harris look like,
that's hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:37:38):
He truly did respond and it was like, what did
you do to my face?

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
And she made it so that she was.

Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
Like, you know, oh, it's just you know, my own insecurities, which.

Speaker 3 (01:37:51):
Not an answer. So I don't know what the I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:37:55):
Even if I take a selfie with somebody, if I
was to post it, even as a story, sometimes I
usually show them and I go good, because like, you
just don't even know how it's gonna hitt they if
they don't like the way they look in it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:09):
Sometimes they're just like, I don't post that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
It's like a little bit of a courtesy. It like
moved his eyes around on his face. It's pretty hilarious looking.

Speaker 5 (01:38:17):
It's hurtful to see that and be like, wait a second,
me me By the way she looks great, she probably.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
Face tuned herself. Yeah, she might have taken a little
more time with it, not as drastic.

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
Yeah, uh, his face is hilarious in that. I tweeted
it out, highly recommend go check it out. I don't
know if I would know that was him to be
honest with you.

Speaker 4 (01:38:39):
No, from the edit or just in general, we wouldn't
know it was something just from the face tuning in.

Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
Yeah, you know, his nose got mushed down, his eyebrows
are all yeah, but you know that like she didn't
even look at him.

Speaker 2 (01:38:55):
I think I'm wondering if that's like what she did
to make herself look better?

Speaker 3 (01:39:00):
Did that to his face?

Speaker 10 (01:39:01):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:39:02):
That?

Speaker 3 (01:39:02):
That's like the the outside effect of forth like mad Men,
the four K thing, all of a sudden, it brings
in the tech guys and all the grips, Like that's
the photo version of that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:15):
I look great. Never looks over that. She just turned
him into a flat face.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Ken.

Speaker 4 (01:39:19):
It's just proof of how narcissism works. It's just he's
just screen real estate. She's the focal for you.

Speaker 2 (01:39:25):
Okay, But like to be fair, anytime you're in a picture,
group picture, do you not look at yourself first?

Speaker 3 (01:39:31):
Uh? Yeah, but I.

Speaker 4 (01:39:34):
Wouldn't that be natural because that's not only it's not
necessarily always an ego thing.

Speaker 3 (01:39:41):
Sometimes it's a self hatred thing. It can be both.

Speaker 5 (01:39:44):
Yeah, it's my eye doing that thing, Okay, it is, Yeah,
we gotta do this. We gotta run this back. Chin.
If you make, if you make a big editor, you
put a filter on it though. It's incumbent upon you
to look at it though, And yeah, you know, see
what else happened to the photo?

Speaker 2 (01:40:02):
He was probably like, I didn't even want to take
a picture with that, hag. Yeah, look at what did
you do to my face?

Speaker 3 (01:40:08):
I stooped down to exactly. That'll teach me, Yeah, consort
with the Hoi POLOI breezy and cold today. It is
a high of thirty four.

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
So we've got Missy Matthews coming up at eight forty
five talking Steelers. Ravens Big Cat will join us at
nine to fifteen. His bears have a big game against
the Packers this weekend, and also Guy Junker at nine
to forty five. Abby, there's a big benefit coming up
at mister Small's. Rob James from the Clarks threw this
together because he saw that there was a need and

(01:40:39):
he is working his butt off to put together one
hell of a great show at mister Small's on December ninth.

Speaker 3 (01:40:45):
In eight nineteenth, I'm sorry, feed the berg, feed the bird.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
It's mister Smalls and tickets are available now and it
is going to benefit the Rainbow Kitchen. There is a
big need for support in our food kitchens here in
the Greater Pittsburgh area and Abbey.

Speaker 3 (01:41:07):
This lineup is stellar.

Speaker 4 (01:41:08):
Not only do you have the Randall Bauman Ramble Band.

Speaker 3 (01:41:12):
Well we're kind of like the backing band for that.
I love that though.

Speaker 4 (01:41:15):
And then you got Joker, Shecky Bill Easy, Jeane the Werewolf,
Tiny Wars, Clinton Klegg of the common Heart, Kelsey Barber.

Speaker 3 (01:41:23):
You also knows Kelsey.

Speaker 4 (01:41:24):
Friday, Sun King Warrior, Lis Berlin, Jen Wurtz, Andre Costello,
Chet Benson, Addie Twigg and Sledonia and Morgan Arena. Again
benefits Rainbow Kitchen. I love that Rob made this all
ages too. So in addition to maybe everybody who has
been to a Ramble and some of these names are
super familiar. He's been a common Heart show and you've

(01:41:45):
seen these bands like now you bring you.

Speaker 3 (01:41:48):
These names are familiar.

Speaker 4 (01:41:50):
Because you you have a ton of musicians and you
kind of you you can sort with the best, and
so because of that, these names might be familiar, but
maybe everybody has only been in the over twenty one
environment to see them. Now you can bring the kids
but you're not only getting to see those musicians, you're

(01:42:10):
getting to show them that you're a part of something
that really does help the community.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
And again, Rainbow Kitchen is a great cause too.

Speaker 4 (01:42:18):
So it's gonna be at mister Small's again on Friday,
December the nineteenth. You can either get the tickets at
mister Smalls dot com or we have the link at
DV dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:42:26):
So we're making it easy for everybody. Good deal.

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
Mike's coming in next with your sports here on the
DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (01:42:32):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for
appliance is. This is WTVEE Pittsburgh Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Yes, Daron Rodgers and company enjoying the cake and when
it runs out, you gotta watch film. Mike Pursuit has
got your sports right now on the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (01:42:56):
Mike, what's going on? Sports is starbrought to you by
virgual Plus.

Speaker 10 (01:42:59):
It's the six and six Steelers against the six and
six Ravens on Sunday in Baltimore. And while that's seemingly
an even matchup on paper, Alex high Smith is among
the Steelers who remembers what happened the last time the
Steelers visited M and T Banks Stadium, well the last
two times actually, Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:43:17):
I mean, obviously, you know, it fuels us for the
for in this game because obviously, you know we had
two disappointed performances there last year, and like I said,
we know that this is a this is a big Ribberry.
We know it's going to be a physical and intense game.
And so, like I said, that just feels us because
we know that we're a lot better team than when
we went there in the past couple of years, I
mean the past couple of times when we've played them.
So we just got to go out there with that

(01:43:39):
mindset and just just get aufter them from the jump
and through four quarters.

Speaker 10 (01:43:44):
Yeah, the last time was in January in the playoffs
and two hundred and ninety nine yards rushing. That was
so ridiculous that you might have forgotten that in late
December they went there in the regular season and gave
up two and twenty yards rushing.

Speaker 2 (01:44:01):
I have not forgotten, but I do remember that they
had TJ crashing down every time in the playoff game.
In the playoff game on the ballcarrier. Previous to that,
they'd always had him.

Speaker 10 (01:44:12):
Hit Lamar hit Lamar and one of the outside guys,
but that always worked, and for some reason they switched
it up and TJ was running right past Lamar who
held the ball, crashing on the back, a lot of
tackles on down he accomplished nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:44:26):
And then Lamar would just take off and they didn't
change it, and it drove TJ. Watt nuts And I
haven't seen him that nuts since until last week. Well,
but it was similar circumstances, is because he was buying
into something that he couldn't believe in anymore that he
didn't think the coaches had it right.

Speaker 10 (01:44:45):
Yeah, that was two forty nine for Buffalo last Sunday
Underground and the regular season game last year in Baltimore
was December of the twenty first, So that's a calendar
year three times two hundred yards plus rushing aloud.

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
Can't have that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:01):
Well, Like we said, though, like when you go back
and look at that film and that first run that
James Cook and you illuminated this yesterday, Mike, the first
nineteen yarder he rips off to start the game, and
that was kind of the template for what we would
see the rest of the game. The problem seems to
be the guy who's supposed to stay home there doesn't
stay home. Now it looks like it's supposed to be

(01:45:24):
Joey Porterger that play on that play, on that particular play,
but whomever they have a sign there every play. It
seems like the problem was that dude wasn't staying home.

Speaker 10 (01:45:34):
And that's when they talk about gaps and being out
of gaps. Everybody has a gap, and you're not supposed
to chase until it's time to chase. You don't anticipate,
anticipate that the other gap is not going to be
covered and you're going to have to go make up
for it. I mean, everybody's supposed to rally to the
ball and all that, but not until you're sure do
not engage ball is.

Speaker 3 (01:45:55):
Going to be.

Speaker 10 (01:45:59):
It's been a while since it's the playoff game, but uh,
not long enough for Alex Highsmith to feel any better
about it.

Speaker 21 (01:46:09):
He still sucks. I mean, just like like I said,
to finish what we did last year and that d
winner on it's you know, all three rushing yards and
certainly is unacceptable on So you know, that's something I
think that's feeling us for this week. But in the
day we just we're still first in the as. We're still
type of person in ac horse. We got to go
out there and we play because of the business on
the line, So we gotta play.

Speaker 3 (01:46:28):
Like a yeah. The confounding part all of this.

Speaker 10 (01:46:31):
If the Steelers were the Bengals they just gave up
two hundred rushing yards every week, you'd say, Wow, Okay,
that's who they are. They're not good at run defense,
so that's what's gonna happen. They shut down Chicago, which
is a very good running team, and they shut down Indianapolis,
which is I believe when the Colts came to town,
they were number one in the NFL and rushing their
number six this week. But the Colts are very good

(01:46:52):
rushing team. Steelers kept the lid on their ground game.
The Bills are very good running game, running team, and
the Bills ran through the Steelers at will. From Highsmith's perspective,
it's easy to understand why those two results were so
drastically different after a little further review.

Speaker 21 (01:47:15):
There's two films. You look at the difference. Inn Like
I said, it's just I think we just did a
better job of weapon box making tackles, being gap sound
and everyone's just doing their job and trusting the guy
besides you to do their job. And so I think
that's what it's about. We all just got to trust
each other. We're going to do our job and then
go make the play.

Speaker 10 (01:47:33):
Here's what I think it should be about Sunday. And
I don't know how they're going to play it. I
would assume they're not going to play it the way
they played it in January, but I would do whatever
it takes to stop Derrick Henry. I mean, if that
takes eight guys in the box and three guys playing
one on one covers, then that's what you do.

Speaker 2 (01:47:51):
You have to contain Lamar though you want Lamar throwing
the ball, you.

Speaker 3 (01:47:55):
Do you really do? You know?

Speaker 10 (01:47:57):
Watching that Bengals game from Thanksgiving, I watched it again
last night, and he made some plays, and.

Speaker 3 (01:48:04):
I mean they turned it over five times.

Speaker 10 (01:48:06):
He could have had a couple of touchdown passes. One
likely had it knocked out going into the end zone
right at the goal line, and there was another offensive
pass interference call against Zay Flowers that was questionable. But
he also when he missed Man, he was missing badly,
like it was Caleb Williams asked the lack of accuracy

(01:48:28):
open guys and even when he hit guys, they would
have to stop and lean, and you know, the players
didn't get what they should have gotten with an accurate throw.
So Lamar Jackson is not throwing the ball well right now.
He is running with much less frequency, still very dangerous.

Speaker 3 (01:48:45):
He's got like multiple injuries.

Speaker 10 (01:48:48):
Hamstring and tow. He missed three games, and the question
is how healthy is he now. They didn't play since
a week ago, so he's gonna have some extra rest
and I'm suspecting that the big game nature of this one,
he's gonna do what he's got to do.

Speaker 3 (01:49:03):
I agree he was limited in practice yesterday.

Speaker 10 (01:49:05):
Yeah, I think he's gonna run when he can run.
He made a couple three first downs against the Bengals.
He also made one of those ridiculous Lamar plays where he.

Speaker 3 (01:49:15):
Just scrambled left, scrambled right, and he's.

Speaker 10 (01:49:17):
Trying to wait for something to happen, and he ended
up hitting likely downfield for a big play. Jason Garrett
was doing the color with Tariko on NBC. Garrett said
to play took nine seconds, which is an eternity in
the NFL. He's just running around back there and nobody
can get their paws on them. But you got to
stop Henry first. You have no chance, well your only

(01:49:38):
other chance if you don't stop them. Harbaugh might stop them,
because the Bengals.

Speaker 3 (01:49:43):
Didn't really stop them.

Speaker 10 (01:49:45):
But he got the ball five times in the first
half and five times in the second half. And that's
what they're going crazy about in Baltimore. Yeah, and that's
been a thing for a while with Harbor. Like the
Ravens pride themselves on their running game and using Patrick
Riccard as the big defensive end, full back and big
line just pound pound. He stops running every once in

(01:50:05):
a while for whatever reason, and nobody knows what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:50:08):
Well, if he doesn't run Derrick Henry after the last
two games against the Steelers, they should broom him out
of Baltimore immediately, because that's just willful ignorance right there.
That is negligence on a level that I couldn't even comprehend.

Speaker 10 (01:50:24):
Yeah, so you got to you gotta put an end
to that, and you got to commit however many people
you need to stop the run and take your chances
with everything else. If they go down there and say, wow,
this is.

Speaker 3 (01:50:35):
How we play it.

Speaker 10 (01:50:36):
This is what we do, and we're gonna have everything
covered and just execute. That's not work and it hasn't
worked against this guy.

Speaker 2 (01:50:44):
Missy Matthews is going to join us after the break,

forty five, Abby, you'll have your NWS At the top

Steelers Audio Network. It is our friend, Missy Matthews double on.
Good morning, Missy. How are you?

Speaker 22 (01:51:53):
Hey, Hey, guys, I'm great, How are you fantastic?

Speaker 2 (01:51:56):
So I'm wondering your thoughts on what happened last week
as far as the Bills just having a field day
out there, rushing the football and amassing the most amount
of rushing yards in fifty years against the Steelers. Do
you think in the locker room the Steelers perceived that
as an issue of and I hate to keep saying schematics,

(01:52:18):
but was that something that was fixable by players being
lined up in the right spots or do they think
they just got bullied into the James Cook record performance.

Speaker 22 (01:52:32):
I mean, I think it was a little bit of both.
And I was texting Pursuita from the locker room since
he's on the postgame show, just like things people were
saying or really not saying. And that was by far
one of the most quiet locker rooms I have been in.
You know, usually after like a playoff loss or something,

(01:52:54):
it feels weird that one was kind of like, oh,
and like some guys were already by the time the
media was let in to talk to players trying to
figure out what went wrong. But I think execution for sure,
trying to do too much or not doing what you're
supposed to do and then obviously something just was not working.

(01:53:15):
It was you know, it reminded me of the game
in Buffalo when Lady on Bell kept running the same
play in the snow against the Bills, but this was
just reverse obviously against the Steelers. And here in.

Speaker 10 (01:53:26):
Pittsburgh, Missie, what was the sideline like after each defensive
series where they bewildered frustrated. Was there wild huddles and
attempts to stop the bleeding somehow or was it just
kind of shock.

Speaker 22 (01:53:43):
A lot of frustration. I will say that normally, you know,
there are certain guys that kind of keep it together
and they're like, let's go, let's you know, get it back.

Speaker 3 (01:53:50):
But I feel like it.

Speaker 22 (01:53:52):
Obviously, they were on the field a lot and it
was almost like I have to stand up and put
my helmet back on, We're going back out on the
field type thing too, which rightfully, so the time of
possession was just so skewed to the Bill favors, So
that was not great for the defense. But you know,
as TJ even said after the game, like four to

(01:54:12):
three and ow and then you're off the field. You
know you could do something about it too, but it
just felt like it the wheels fell off right after
Aaron went down on the strip sack and they scored
a defensive touchdown, and it just felt like nothing for
any phase of the game, special teams included went right

(01:54:33):
after that.

Speaker 3 (01:54:34):
So looking at what has happened in the past against
the Ravens, one can expect to see a lot of
Derek Harmon busting through the line.

Speaker 2 (01:54:45):
There no Derek or Dereck Henry. We have no Derek
Harmon on the other side. How much do you think
that played into their success because it seemed to me
that a lot of those yards weren't going over where
he would have been in the defensive line so much
as they were being bounced out because the Steelers weren't
trying to possibly overcompensate for Harmon not being there.

Speaker 22 (01:55:08):
Yeah, I mean, you know, Harmon has gotten so much
better with each game as a rookie dealing with the
injury that you know, kept him out the first few
games of the regular season from the preseason injury. But
I just think he's good at taking up space too.
But I just feel like even if he was there,
it wasn't going to be a cure all for what

(01:55:29):
was happening, because to have James Cooks do that it
was more than just one person not being in the
right gap or not doing the right thing or whatever.
And I think too, when Patrick Queen went out and
Peyton Wilson became the green dot, not that he has
experienced doing it, clearly they worked on it all through
training camp in the preseason. He's you know, he's done

(01:55:50):
it here and there. When PQ's then injured in other games.
But I do think that that also was playing into
the factor of it, because that's different for them. And
I think PQ, especially in his second year, was so
much better at, you know, getting the call from TA
and telling everybody what was happening. You could see there
was just a little bit of like, hey, state it again,

(01:56:11):
or trying to tell people where to go. A few
times you could just see Peyton like trying to motion
with his arms of you know, telling somebody what to do.

Speaker 3 (01:56:18):
So I just think it.

Speaker 22 (01:56:20):
Was accommodation of a lot of really bad things and
obviously the result speaks for itself.

Speaker 2 (01:56:25):
Do you think Aaron Rodgers will have more I don't
want to say mobility. Will we see him under center
more than we did last week?

Speaker 15 (01:56:33):
It sounds like it.

Speaker 22 (01:56:34):
He seemed, you know, pretty hopeful of that even after
the game on Sunday. He obviously spoke again yesterday and
didn't practice, but I think today's practice will tell us
a lot about what they can do. I think obviously
that has to be something that he can hopefully bring
this week, just so that there's something a little bit

(01:56:56):
different and maybe more secretive than what and on Sunday,
because it was pretty obvious what was happening, and I'm
sure it was you know a feel thing too of
how does the risk feel? Can I get a handoff
with the left hand? You know, what is the capabilities
moving forward? It sounds like it is feeling better so
at least that's a good sign.

Speaker 10 (01:57:16):
What do you think the Ravens do to make sure
that Aaron Rodgers doesn't get cooking?

Speaker 22 (01:57:23):
I mean, unfortunately, you know, their defense has gotten pretty
healthy then what it was like before. But still, you know,
they're they're not giving up many points and unfortunately for them,
it was like, you know, they came to play, but
then their offense did it in terms of their Thanksgiving game.
But still it's something that I think, you know, they're

(01:57:44):
going to get after him. Taking away DK clearly is
a recipe for success the other teams have done. But
I think, you know, hopefully if the Steelers can lean
on their run game and get that going similar to
how they did in Chicago, that should be able to
help a lot as well.

Speaker 10 (01:58:00):
The Bengals were able to do on that Thanksgiving game
you referenced, right.

Speaker 22 (01:58:05):
Yeah, so you know, Joe Burrow coming back with probably
a mood booster and emotional boost and all of the
above plus more. But still it's just, you know, the
Ravens went from giving up a lot of points, like
thirty plus in their first few weeks, first five or six,
and now they're at like sixteen. So they're unfortunately moving

(01:58:29):
in the right direction.

Speaker 3 (01:58:31):
Missy Matthews with us from the Steelers Audio Network here
on the DVE Morning Show at Steelers Ravens a one
o'clock kickoff M and T Bank Stadium, first place on
the line. Will feel and get a hat on Sunday?

Speaker 22 (01:58:47):
Sure, probably, I don't know. I think you can get
up to speed.

Speaker 3 (01:58:51):
Yeah, I can see.

Speaker 10 (01:58:52):
I got a feeling Pittsburgh's going to the super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:58:55):
Super Bowl.

Speaker 10 (01:58:56):
Yeah, Missy, I'm going to have a little informal meeting
tonight for the broadcast team. I want to go over
everything seventeen times, starting with the pre pregame show. Matt Williamson,
Tom Offerman, Quinlan, me Starks, Kingery.

Speaker 3 (01:59:16):
You coming.

Speaker 10 (01:59:16):
We're all going to get together and just go over
it incessantly.

Speaker 3 (01:59:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:59:20):
I mean, if Quinlan's bringing the company credit card, I'm in.

Speaker 2 (01:59:23):
You got a regular Rogues gallery there, Missy Matthews. Brought
to you by Boris and Bornos this morning on DVE. Missy,
thanks so much, have a great time in Baltimore.

Speaker 22 (01:59:32):
All right, thanks guys, appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (01:59:35):
Director trailers are some of the most dangerous vehicles on
the road, guaranteed human.

Speaker 4 (01:59:45):
A festive ice rink installed in Italy has started some
controversy for insulting the memory of Luciano Pavarotti. The rink
featured a raised platform and clear plexiglass barriers around a
bronze monument of the opera. Great skaters were encouraged via
social media to skate around and high five the statue,

(02:00:08):
which for some reason started to sink.

Speaker 3 (02:00:11):
And so it is way too small. He kind of
looks like a munchkin.

Speaker 2 (02:00:16):
Because every joke about Pavarotti was about his weight. And
then they created a statue that collapsed the ice underneath him,
and he's knee deep in the ice rink, and it's
like a real insult to a guy who battled fat
jokes his whole life.

Speaker 3 (02:00:36):
You're really seeing the fattest part of him, right.

Speaker 5 (02:00:40):
Get those ankles out of there, So Spindley, he looks
like Tim Conway doing dors.

Speaker 3 (02:00:47):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning.

Speaker 2 (02:00:50):
Show, Tad Whistles hanging out with us this morning. And yeah,
that Pavaratti statue is hilarious. It's so damn funny. On
the way for you big cattleby joining shortly ten minutes
or so, Guy Jonker at nine forty five. Abby's got
a news update forty First, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (02:01:04):
Abby?

Speaker 4 (02:01:05):
Is this hour brought to you by a better call
cy Breezy and cold Today, with a high of thirty four,
the powerball jackpot is climbing once again after no one
won the jackpot in last night's drawing. The estimated jackpot
for Saturday's drawing is now eight hundred and twenty million,
with the cash option working out two round three hundred

(02:01:25):
and eighty three million. Tickets are two bucks each, with
the odds of hitting the jackpot roughly one in two
hundred and ninety two million.

Speaker 2 (02:01:33):
So what I like to do is go buy a
bunch of those and then you give them out as like, hey,
this is your birthday gift. I know it's in a
couple of months, but here you go. It's like, seems
like a cheap gift at face, but what it might
be is a life changing ticket.

Speaker 5 (02:01:50):
You're welcome. I've given you potentially enough money to ruin
you life.

Speaker 3 (02:01:54):
I sent Mally a scratch off Molly alphabet for her
birthday and it hit for g oh. I know.

Speaker 5 (02:02:01):
I love the uh like the you know, the small
to medium sized prizes when people hit. It's like, yeah,
so and so hit for five grand on a scratch off,
and then the hater of the group outs themselves and
it's like five grand more like thirty eight hundred.

Speaker 3 (02:02:19):
Okay, man, yeah, it's still cool, right, still cool. Uncle
Sam takes a bite, you know, Okay, whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:02:27):
So we do this thing every year for Christmas in
our family because there's about fourteen of us and everybody's
a bit older. And instead of having to buy gifts
for every single person, we do one banging gift and
then do like a Rando Sanda game where you know,
you pull a number and then.

Speaker 3 (02:02:46):
You pick a gift or whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:02:47):
But the limit is fifty bucks because it used to
be like, oh, ten dollars and then you'd get a
crappy thing, but nobody wanted all the crappy stuff and
it was dumb, and so I was like, why don't
we just buy each other like something that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:03:00):
And so every year I've got like really cool things.

Speaker 4 (02:03:03):
I have, like a good like reveled tea thing that
I like, and a good blanket and things that I'm
legitimately using. Now, if I got fifty dollars in lottery tickets,
that works, right, I.

Speaker 3 (02:03:16):
Think, so I'll take it all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:03:19):
Think of the joy, just the anticipation as you pull
out the quarter and start scratching a lucky quarter.

Speaker 3 (02:03:25):
Yes, this quarter, Oh yeah, this one, this is the one. Yes.

Speaker 5 (02:03:29):
When you're in those situations where everyone's pooling and doing
their fifty dollars thing, there's always one person who's.

Speaker 3 (02:03:35):
Like, yeah, fifty. It's it's like a guideline. You know.

Speaker 5 (02:03:38):
It's like the one uncle that drops two fifty and
you know that gifts out there somewhere my mother. Yeah,
but there is one. There's always some, and I'm above
the rules. I'm the mom that's you deal with.

Speaker 3 (02:03:52):
No, not me. Oh I'm spending forty. I go to
the limit. I don't know. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:04:00):
Also there's been bidets and things like that where it's
a little, it gets a little.

Speaker 2 (02:04:04):
Those are like online, not an actual bedet throwne. It's
like you add it to the toilet.

Speaker 4 (02:04:10):
Yes, yes, I've won the b day before and I'm
like America remains ah, all right. Tara Reads claim that
someone slipped a drug in her drink doesn't hold water
with cops who have found no video you did. Tara
to back up her allegation. Rosemont Police told TMZ they

(02:04:31):
reviewed surveillance footage from the Chicago area hotel and there
is no indication, at least based on the videos that they.

Speaker 3 (02:04:36):
Saw that anyone drugged her.

Speaker 4 (02:04:38):
Last month, Tara was taken out of the DoubleTree Hotel
on a stretcher, loaded into an ambulance, and driven to
a hotel. She says that she left her drink unattended
at the bar and she believes that she was drugged.
Cops are waiting to get any medical records from her
hospital stay to confirm if tests were done. She says
she believes the tests were done, but as of now,

(02:05:00):
Rosemont PD says that you have no evidence of a crime,
and she says Tara, that is bottom line is no
one ends up in the hospital incapacitated over a drink.

Speaker 3 (02:05:12):
Uh, you know, I disagree.

Speaker 2 (02:05:16):
Yeah, you know, that's it's been a real problem in
some places right where, like there's rampant people, big time
dosing people's drinks and on college campuses. I know, it's
a big thing. So it's a very serious problem. It
just was like, in that circumstance, it didn't make a
whole lot of sense. She really just kind of has
crashed out so hard. I feel bad for her.

Speaker 3 (02:05:38):
I just don't know. She has never recovered. She doesn't
have anything to like. You know, Brittany has a lot
of wealth, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:05:46):
And tera is just kind of like you were famous
and now you're a mess and people gock at what
a mess you are and that's all she has.

Speaker 3 (02:05:53):
It's kind of it kind of makes me sad. That's
a big bummer. Yeah. Yeah, I think the last thing
she did of note was Sharknado.

Speaker 2 (02:06:00):
Right, so she went from the Big Lebowski to Sharknado.
It's a rough ride.

Speaker 4 (02:06:06):
Yeah, There's been plenty of times that I know that
I've been out and all of a sudden, the drunk
has caught up with me, and I was convinced in
the moment.

Speaker 3 (02:06:15):
I'm like, did someone drug me?

Speaker 4 (02:06:18):
And I'll hang on to that for maybe a minute
or two before I start doing like the calculus meme
in my head, and then I realized it was me.

Speaker 3 (02:06:28):
Drugged me to me, I haven't eaten in two days.

Speaker 2 (02:06:31):
I ran five miles, I didn't drink any water, and
I came here in order to Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (02:06:36):
Yeah, yeah, whack, you're drugged. I've been dozed. Who did this? Here?
Tim Robinson in the hot dog costume. We're looking for
this all right.

Speaker 4 (02:06:54):
There are relationship experts who say it's not a good
sign if a couple never fights, but that's the rarefied
air that Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift occupy.

Speaker 3 (02:07:05):
Travis and his.

Speaker 4 (02:07:05):
Brother Jason had George Clooney on their New Heights podcast
and they were talking about how George and his wife
Amal say they never fight, and Travis said that he
and Taylor have never had an argument. Of course, they've
only been together for two and a half years. As
faithful as Travis is to Taylor, he's also a team player,
and he says that when they started dating, he asked

(02:07:28):
the team to not play Taylor's music in the stadium.

Speaker 3 (02:07:31):
I guess that's a good thing. They didn't want to
mix the head I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (02:07:36):
Cross the stretch streams. I get that that's just good
common sense there. But you don't want to hear your
fiance get booed at the game. Plus she's at the
game half the time and she doesn't want to hear that.
You know, no, final I think not fighting is not
a good thing. But also I think constant fighting is
also bad, and the way you fight is very very important.

(02:07:57):
Fights need to be productive, not counter productive. Correct, they don't.
They're not supposed to leave wounds, and then you move on.
It's supposed to be something where you fight and you
come to a conclusion and you either kind of both
compromise a little bit or one person sees the errors

(02:08:17):
of their way, and.

Speaker 3 (02:08:19):
Then you move forward understanding.

Speaker 2 (02:08:20):
But the whole like you know, just beating the hell
out of each other and then you know, like like
brothers punching each other in the face for a while
when they're drunk and then never talking about it again.

Speaker 3 (02:08:30):
That's not good.

Speaker 2 (02:08:31):
The metaphor of that in a relationship not good. To
just land a bunch of punches and hope it goes away.

Speaker 3 (02:08:37):
It never does.

Speaker 5 (02:08:37):
Got to work through it and then just you know,
remember when the fight's wrapped up and everything's cool again,
just take out your notebook and really keep score.

Speaker 20 (02:08:46):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (02:08:46):
That's important too.

Speaker 5 (02:08:48):
How much time to Travis and Taylor really spend together.
I mean, you know, they're still in the honeymoon phase.
They've been together two and a half years. They're both
extremely busy people. That's like eight months of real time.

Speaker 2 (02:09:00):
Maybe I know, but I feel like anytime that they
do have a significant amount of time together, he like
just comes into the room and she's like typing on
a desk and you know, and dealing with her empire.

Speaker 3 (02:09:10):
And he's like, uh, what are you doing? And she
just picks up a ball and throws it together the
room and.

Speaker 4 (02:09:14):
He celebrity couples in general, but those two in particular,
that's what it's like. We never fight, and it's like
you don't see each other hang out adorable. It's like
you don't know a thing about each other yet. It's
like if you seen each other have the flu. It's like, yeah, cool, Yeah,

(02:09:35):
they see each other.

Speaker 3 (02:09:36):
Barf, No, see nothing. I guarantee you she's seen him barf.

Speaker 4 (02:09:41):
No, like from eating too many wings, like not like
from like being sick or anything.

Speaker 3 (02:09:47):
Yeah, Like he's just gonna Taylor watch this, watch this,
you know, Yeah, I could do it on command.

Speaker 2 (02:09:55):
No, dude, Him and his brother a drink like nine
hundred beers and just foam barf everywhere.

Speaker 3 (02:10:00):
That what's coming on. And she's seeing it. She's like, Oh,
it's so funny.

Speaker 2 (02:10:04):
And then they're getting it married. She's like Jesus is
not allowed over and he's gonna keep doing that in
front of the kids. Yangling coming out of his nose.
All right, watch this, I'm a dragon. You can do
it with milk kids. I don't know best selected them.
I don't even care about them an all, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (02:10:24):
I stopped thinking about them in general. Well, he could.

Speaker 2 (02:10:28):
I mean, the chiefs are kind of over and I
don't know if she is or not. But her last record,
I don't hear people talking about it at all, but
I'm not in that world, so I don't know. I
know it sold like gangbusters because she put out eighty
five versions of it that every Taylor Swift fan had
to buy. And then you know, she basically blackmails all
of the streaming platforms and make sure that she is

(02:10:50):
like way off top on the streamers.

Speaker 4 (02:10:52):
Yeah, this is one of the first records of hers
that I got into an algorithm. And again, who knows
what the truth is because the algorithm tailor's to you, Taylor.
But it might be that, like this is the first
algorithm swing that I saw where people were dunking on her.

Speaker 3 (02:11:11):
For their Yeah, dunked on a lot.

Speaker 4 (02:11:13):
Yeah again, you know, whenever.

Speaker 2 (02:11:14):
Cool people like the last stuff, and now now like
that the hipster taste makers are like, this is actually
just bad.

Speaker 3 (02:11:21):
And I kind of feel like there there's been an emperor.

Speaker 2 (02:11:24):
Uh you know, has no close thing to her lyrics
the whole time because I know it's not for me,
but just objectively, it didn't seem like a great product
for the reaction that it was getting. I'm like, these
lyrics are really sophomoric, but you know, I don't. I
guess if you're twelve it sure, I'll hit you on
the sweet.

Speaker 4 (02:11:43):
Spot was the record that she did that was like
an acoustic record. Folklore was that the one that was People.

Speaker 3 (02:11:48):
Really said that was her grown up record, right, It.

Speaker 4 (02:11:50):
Was a really grown up record, and I think that
did give a lot of credence to her lyrics, and
then everything she started to release after that got so
much attention. But then this one came off as extremely
juvenile and backlash galore.

Speaker 3 (02:12:07):
So I listen, I enjoyed it.

Speaker 4 (02:12:10):
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, but at the
same time, I think everybody's bubble bursts at some point,
and she's about as big as you can get, So
it was going to happen at some point.

Speaker 2 (02:12:21):
Yeah, unless we take over another planet. She's already conquered
this one.

Speaker 3 (02:12:25):
It's time, all right.

Speaker 4 (02:12:26):
One of the good things about going down rabbit holes
on YouTube is nobody has to know what you waste
your time watching at until eleven PM, not even you.
But now all that nonsense is going to be regurgitated.
So YouTube is now going to be doing the same
thing that everybody likes to do. Now you're going to
get a YouTube recap end of the year, and it's

(02:12:47):
going to show you all of the crap that you
wasted your time watching throughout the year.

Speaker 2 (02:12:54):
Oh my god, I can't wait to see that because
I know exactly what it's gonna be. I mean the
entire Like, as soon as I click on that thing,
it's just gonna be like, welcome to.

Speaker 3 (02:13:08):
Your year review.

Speaker 23 (02:13:13):
Do you watched nine hundred hours of Edmund Fitzgerald documentaries,
Gordon Lightfoot specials, and all kinds of Great Lakes Shipping
instructional videos.

Speaker 3 (02:13:30):
Yeah, that's right, that's all I've seen on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (02:13:32):
It's like, every time I open up YouTube, it's giving
me more Edmund Fitzgerald recommendations.

Speaker 3 (02:13:37):
I can't get away from it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:38):
Is it still popping up in your algorithm to supplement
it though? Like, are you still getting the memes? You're
still getting not as many, but they're there. Starting to
drop off.

Speaker 3 (02:13:47):
Oh no, look it's that time of season, you know.
Well it'll you know.

Speaker 2 (02:13:52):
And then it was Last Waltz. Yeah, for sure, Thanksgiving.
There's a lot of Last Waltz memes. And now let
it's headed towards Christmas.

Speaker 3 (02:13:59):
I don't know. I mean, I assume going to get
back to farting dogs probably, let's hope. Let's say we
can get back to that nice, comfortable place where it's
just dogs at fort the start of the Chris Isaac song.
You know, it is so funny.

Speaker 4 (02:14:11):
That you bring that up when you were going to
play a sound. That is what I thought you were
going to play, the Chris Isaac fart.

Speaker 3 (02:14:18):
Yeah is that that one?

Speaker 2 (02:14:23):
Yeah, like the guitar part of the beginning of that.
There's a viral video of a guy like in.

Speaker 3 (02:14:29):
A stall and he just lets out a bowl fart
that sounds exactly like the beginning of the It's like
perfect big cat joining us right now here. Brought to
you by Yingling.

Speaker 2 (02:14:41):
Make it a Yingling traditional logger from the oldest brewery
in America.

Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
Big Cat. How are you, buddy, I'm good.

Speaker 12 (02:14:47):
Although we got an issue on our hands, got an
issue on our hand.

Speaker 3 (02:14:51):
I want to hear it.

Speaker 20 (02:14:52):
I just I just so.

Speaker 12 (02:14:54):
I was driving in to work. Before I got into work,
I was I was looking at my phone and apparently
Mike Commlin's sons want to beat up Jersey Jerry.

Speaker 2 (02:15:03):
Yes, so that's the thing. And I didn't know if
you were privy to that yet. So Mike Tomlin's son
Dino has issued I don't know, not a fut wah,
but I mean he wants to is a fight wah.
He wants to fight Jersey Jerry, and Jersey Jerry said
he would do it for fifty grand now because he's
got a family.

Speaker 3 (02:15:23):
He said, he's he's got a.

Speaker 2 (02:15:24):
Family, and Dino is a d one athlete and so
he'll probably mop Jersey Jerry up. Now, Jersey Jerry said,
you know, give me the fifty grand. Dino said, no,
that's not how this works. And so Jersey Jerry is out.
He said, I'm not fighting you.

Speaker 3 (02:15:38):
But now Dino maybe wants to fight Jersey, Jerry's podcast
partner Kevin Kevin.

Speaker 20 (02:15:46):
Yeah, so I just I wanted on the ructors.

Speaker 12 (02:15:48):
I didn't know any of this until like literally ten
minutes ago. I loved I love Jerry's death, you know,
like he's a brother to me. I would do anything
for him. Whenever something want this happens. My immediate needs.

Speaker 20 (02:15:59):
Your c reaction is Jerry did something wrong and I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:16:02):
Gonna take the other guys off because I feel.

Speaker 20 (02:16:05):
Like in the right here. I know nothing about it.

Speaker 12 (02:16:08):
But as soon as if I go into the office
and I asked Jerry like two questions, I'll probably get
a clear idea that Jerry said or did something that like, yeah,
he probably should get punched in the FI.

Speaker 3 (02:16:19):
So it's like one of those things when you are
a fan of a team or a band, you feel
removed far enough that they the person that you're talking about,
stops being a human. They're like the.

Speaker 2 (02:16:33):
Object that's in the way of success for you and
the thing that you're rooting for. And I would say
that Jerry has been less than judicious in his estimation
of Mike Tomlin's abilities.

Speaker 12 (02:16:48):
Yes, I think that's fair, and it is true. It's
it's a it's something that we like Jerry should know
it because people do the same thing to us where
they trite us like we're not humans and talk about
us like we're not human being, and there's like, you know,
it's a bigger, more serious discussion about how like computers
and phones have completely, uh made this world like such

(02:17:08):
a cruel place because people think they can just say anything.
But yeah, I just want it on the record that
like I love again, I love Jerry. Like the way
I deal with Jerry is I saw this and I
was like, oh, he probably deserves to get punched in
the face.

Speaker 20 (02:17:21):
And if he gets punched the face, like.

Speaker 3 (02:17:23):
I'll be the one to drive him to the hospital,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 20 (02:17:25):
So I'll still have his back.

Speaker 12 (02:17:27):
But sometimes guys deserves to get punched in the face.

Speaker 5 (02:17:30):
Please tell Jerry that the gofund me already has twenty
four thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:17:39):
Jerry will find a way, said down.

Speaker 12 (02:17:42):
And like he will also find a way to like
you know, scam money out of this whole thing.

Speaker 20 (02:17:48):
That's you know, he's good at that.

Speaker 8 (02:17:50):
So come out on top.

Speaker 20 (02:17:52):
Yeah he might get hurt, but he'll come out on top.

Speaker 2 (02:17:55):
Well, I gotta imagine Mike Tomlin is pissed at Dino
as much as what he's doing is admirable. It's kind
of like when Anthony Soprano Junior tries to go kill
Uncle Junior, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, you
probably shouldn't be doing this, Like we'll take care of it,
don't worry about it.

Speaker 12 (02:18:14):
It's it's the whole thing, it feels like, and you
guys can tell me because you obvious seen a way
far better than I do. But like from an observer
from the outside and like you know, a big fan
of the NFL and covering the NFL, it does feel
like the heat has finally reached like a real spot
for Mike Tomlin where we've gone through this before, but
this one feels a little different where it's like, yeah,

(02:18:36):
it's crazy that the team is exactly the same yet
again for like the tenth year in a row.

Speaker 2 (02:18:41):
Last year was the year that the seat got hot
on a level that it hadn't before, but it was
never he was never in danger of getting fired. A
lot of people were like, this is a joke. It's
the same thing year after here, and then they did
this hold on, hold on, wait to see what we
have up our sleeve for next year. And then they
go out and give Slagh ten million dollars. They bring

(02:19:02):
in Jalen Ramsey on that trade with John new They
get rid of Minka and bring those two in, and
they're like, this is gonna fit perfect. We're gonna be
able to cover everybody. We're gonna have shutdown man coverage
on defense. And then you know they'd given Patrick Queen
that big contract before that, and then Aaron Rodgers ends
up coming here and DK Metcalf and they spend all

(02:19:24):
this money and they're like, uh huh, that's right, We're
fixing this.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
And it is just garbage. And so the noise that
we've been hearing here Big Cat finally has permeated enough
of the national bubble because the problem is, and here's
what has been pissing us off forever in Pittsburgh is
that we've been saying, like, dude, this is not working.
And then you get everybody on ESPN going, oh.

Speaker 2 (02:19:50):
The Steelers would be crazy to fire Mike Toms.

Speaker 3 (02:19:54):
Right, all of those guys.

Speaker 2 (02:19:56):
Now there's only a couple of them. Now there's only
Will Bonds saying that, and a couple of other guys
at ESPN. Now you got Callen Colin cow Herd going, yeah,
maybe it's time for him to move on. You know,
you got Ben Roethlisberger going on his podcast and saying
that Mike Tomlinson coach Penn State, which I'm sure, yeah,
he didn't do to piss him off at all.

Speaker 3 (02:20:15):
He just was just not you know, a freaking opinion.
He wasn't trying to get under my skin, you know.
And so that's how it's changed.

Speaker 2 (02:20:24):
It's the national perspective on this big cat is that,
you know what, maybe those Pittsburghers weren't just a bunch
of spoiled fans.

Speaker 3 (02:20:32):
Maybe they have a point.

Speaker 12 (02:20:35):
Yeah, and you guys do have a point. We've been
saying it for over a year now that it's like
because I remember that this point changed in my mind.
It was probably about last year around this time where
we had this discussion. I was like, for the longest time,
I was like, how can Steelers fans be upset? I
would do anything to get in the playoffs every year.

Speaker 20 (02:20:53):
I do anything to be.

Speaker 12 (02:20:54):
Over five hundred, and then last year, after watching that
team again, I was like, yeah, I don't know how
you could watch it team and be excited about it,
knowing that it's gonna be the exact same result every
single year, and nothing is changing, and nothing is you know,
like that Bills game. You guys, the Bills just ran
the same play over and over and over right down
your throat. It's that's bad coaching. And so I yeah,

(02:21:17):
I agree with you, Like I see, I still think
I think Rex Ryan is another one who's still hold out.
He said something like Mike Tomlin would get a job
in a second if that's the Steelers fire up. I
don't know if that's totally true. Like I think you
get another shot somewhere else eventually, but I don't think
everyone's like, you know, running, you know, banging down the door.
For Mike Tomlin at this point, he might have to

(02:21:38):
do a little self reflection and and go, you know,
take a year off before he becomes a hot commodity.

Speaker 2 (02:21:44):
And even if he did go somewhere, I mean, Andy
Reid is the comparison that I've always used here where
it's like it stopped working for him in Philly. Then
he had that four and twelve season or whatever it was,
and they finally bounce him after getting so close and
sniff it a few times. He goes on to win championships,
and they win two Super Bowls with two different coaches

(02:22:06):
since then it was a mutually beneficial parting. I kind
of think that's where they are right now. But I
have to say I know that you guys on pardon
my take, highlighted our buddy Seth Robas tweet, which was
the most I mean, this is nostradamis stuff. Mike Tomlin
will say something like, we can't eat soup with forks,

(02:22:27):
we need spoons. Then the Steelers will sign a twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (02:22:30):
Pro bowler to the practice squad, and don't they go
two days later and sign Adam Thielen, who was a
member of the two thousand and eight Pro Bowl.

Speaker 12 (02:22:40):
This, this alone should get Mike Tomlin fired. When you're
so easily parodied, Yes, Like the parody is so easy
to do and it's so on the nose, that alone,
I should get him fired. That's just you can't have
you can't like, if you're Mike Tomlin, you've got to
have someone in that building, be like like when you're

(02:23:01):
when you're talking to Adam Field's agent, be like, hey, sir,
just before we do this, Like I just I want
to let you know what Seth tweeted, we should get
ahead us.

Speaker 20 (02:23:12):
Yeah, they know.

Speaker 12 (02:23:13):
They're onto us, and they this might look bad in
the public, and it did look bad.

Speaker 20 (02:23:18):
It looks ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (02:23:19):
Well let me ask you this. Let's let's turn it
over to your team, because to me, this is the
game of the week. The Bears, yeah, and the Packers
at Lambeau. It's gonna be sub freezing temperatures, maybe some
flurries like flying around like the picturesque Bears Packers matchup.
This is an iconic uniform clash on the most heralded

(02:23:43):
football field in the league. And now, finally, for the
first time in a long time, both teams are good.
Both teams are good, and your Bears have a chance
to keep a clasp on the number one seed in
the conference that I did not coming. And you did
all of this without Caleb Williams actually playing great.

Speaker 3 (02:24:06):
He's he's doing Oh kay.

Speaker 2 (02:24:09):
So my question to you is this, what is your
confidence level going in against what has traditionally been, at
least in recent history, the Bears kryptonite.

Speaker 12 (02:24:20):
Oh, I mean it's not even I don't even think
it's kryptonite, because kryptonite, like I feel like Superman puts
up like a tiny bit of.

Speaker 3 (02:24:26):
Fight against kryptonite.

Speaker 12 (02:24:27):
We haven't done any of that. So I am I'm
weirdly confident. Now here's the other thing I am. It
ties in purplectly to Mike common discussion, when you get
a coach that you feel confidence in, it does give
you a little bit of a calmness, where like Ben Johnson,
I just have the utmost confidence in him and his
plan and what he's done for this this organization and

(02:24:50):
the culture. And we play the Packers again in two weeks,
and it's not like so I'm going into this game
weirdly like, yes, I obviously want to win it. I
actually do, in my heart of heart think the Bears
can win. But I also know we play them again
in two weeks and I'm not gonna freak out if
we lose because Ben Johnson will find a way. And
it's like, find a way to split this and the

(02:25:10):
reason why you go nine and three to start the seasons,
you give yourself a cushion where not every game makes
you freak out.

Speaker 20 (02:25:16):
But I'm so excited that.

Speaker 12 (02:25:17):
Bears actually have a team that I feel like can
compete with anyone, and we can run the football. We
have an identity. That's really what it comes down to,
is like having an identity. You guys know this like
when the Steelers have an identity. There's you just go
in and you're like, hey, we know we can do
this better than anyone else, and it's up to you
to figure out how to stop it. And our ability

(02:25:38):
to run the football has been that this year.

Speaker 20 (02:25:40):
It's so much fun to watch.

Speaker 2 (02:25:41):
Yeah, and you know, getting some takeaways too would be big.
Jordan Love seems to be getting better this year though.
That's gonna be a fun one. I'm hoping the Bears win.
That'll make that whole conference more fun if they keep winning.

Speaker 3 (02:25:51):
And it's hard.

Speaker 2 (02:25:52):
It's impossible to not be a fan of Ben Johnson
ripping off his shirt, doing the whole you know, getting
the Wieners Circle to give out free hot dogs on Tuesday.
Think they gave out a thousand hot dogs after he
did the shirtless celebration.

Speaker 3 (02:26:05):
Dude's kind of jack too. For what it's worth, Oh
big time.

Speaker 12 (02:26:09):
I said I would leave my wife for him, so
I she found out about that.

Speaker 20 (02:26:13):
She wasn't happy, but I said.

Speaker 12 (02:26:15):
I was like, listen, I like, I don't think he
wants to leave his wife for me, but if he
if I get the call, like he's he's my home.

Speaker 3 (02:26:25):
He's a guy. Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 20 (02:26:26):
Gay, so I don't care. Like I just we just
live together.

Speaker 12 (02:26:29):
We'll just have like a you know, like a relationship
where we just live together and just hang out.

Speaker 2 (02:26:33):
Yeah. It was Aaron Rodgers' birthday the other day. Did
did he ever return your birthday message to him?

Speaker 3 (02:26:40):
He did not. I don't, I don't.

Speaker 12 (02:26:42):
I don't expect to return What did you say? I
just did a happy birthday friend and uh no, no response.
I actually am like, it's it's crazy. I think it's
maybe just like the fact that he hasn't been a
packer for you know whatever it is three four years now.
Like I actually I am starting to feel bad for
him because that was it's just like that shot of

(02:27:04):
him with his.

Speaker 2 (02:27:05):
Nose golf angled, yeah, and just looked like one of
the Wet bandits.

Speaker 3 (02:27:09):
People were saying like.

Speaker 20 (02:27:11):
Yeah, yeah, it's just like what.

Speaker 12 (02:27:14):
Are you doing, man, You got so much money, Go
go live your life somewhere else, Like this is crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:27:19):
But that's the look on his face. The look on
his face is like I shouldn't have done this. That's
kind of how I was reading it, Like I shouldn't
have done this?

Speaker 12 (02:27:28):
Yeah, like how you shouldn't have left the Packers, Like
and I know that was obviously there's more of the
Packers coming, you know, drafting Jordan Love and all that,
but like this is he's he's He's gone through the
gauntlet the last three years, and I'd imagine this has
gotta be it. And so he probably didn't have the
best birthday ever, but Adam feeling that's a nice birthday present.

Speaker 3 (02:27:46):
Yes, well, maybe he'll show up to the film study.
It's Oh, it's crazy.

Speaker 20 (02:27:51):
You have retirement home.

Speaker 3 (02:27:53):
It's crazy, dude.

Speaker 2 (02:27:54):
Mike Tomlin is the guy I say, like, he's the
guy who goes around in your house.

Speaker 3 (02:28:00):
You're like, hey, this soap dispenser's out of soap. He's like, no,
it's not. And then he puts a ton of water
in it. He's like, he's like, plenty of soap left
in this. You're like there's none. There's literally you just
you're washing your hands with water. He's like, there's so
much soap in here. This is elite soap and you're like,
there's no soap left none.

Speaker 12 (02:28:19):
It tries to man, it's so true though, it's so true.
It's like just anyone, anyone who was good ten years ago,
they're gonna be a steeler.

Speaker 2 (02:28:29):
He adopts thirteen year old dogs exclusively, like just old
dogs in his house. You walk in, they're all like
walking around, limping and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (02:28:38):
He's got to get his medicine twice a day. But
he's a good dog. A lot of fetch left in him.

Speaker 2 (02:28:43):
Like I think about it, think of all the busts.
One Thornhill, Darius Sligh. One Thornhill's the one that got
the whole historic defense discussion. This was all happened on
our show, Big Cat. One thorn Hill says, yea, this
could this defense has a chance to be one of
the best of all time. And then tom It came
on with us and we followed up with hey, Van

(02:29:03):
Thornhill just said, you guys can be one of the
best of all time. And he said we could do
great things and by that I mean historic and they
are absolutely abysmal. It's so far away from what they
thought they were going to be able to do.

Speaker 3 (02:29:17):
And that's the problem. They can't assess talent here.

Speaker 2 (02:29:20):
They think they have something so much better than they do.

Speaker 12 (02:29:25):
And and and another one is like George Pickens should
get by Tom and.

Speaker 20 (02:29:29):
Fired as well.

Speaker 3 (02:29:30):
Oh my god, crazy, Like that's coaching.

Speaker 20 (02:29:32):
That's He's the best wide receiver in the league right now.

Speaker 3 (02:29:35):
He was so fun to watch. He was so fun
to watch, even if we you know, he wasn't as
gonna be as good here as he is in Dallas.
I mean, it was fun to watch him karate kick
somebody on a route that he's not involved in. You know, yeah,
yeah that that.

Speaker 12 (02:29:53):
I was actually juggling with someone the other day. Like,
like getting older in life, you realize, like when you're
in your you know, tea years in your twenties, and
like you're kind of dumb about sports, and you see
like a player leave your your franchise and they do
great things, and you're like, oh, that's just bad luck.
I can't believe that happened. Then you then you have
the aha moment where you're like, no, that's just coaching.

(02:30:15):
Like if if a player leaves and is awesome without
your like outside of your organization, that means they're starting
to get coached correctly.

Speaker 20 (02:30:22):
That's all it is.

Speaker 2 (02:30:23):
Well, and there's a couple of those guys, Kevin Dotson
being one of them, recent memory, that have left the
Steelers and gone on to great things after we gave
up on them.

Speaker 3 (02:30:32):
My last thing I have for you, I tried to.

Speaker 2 (02:30:34):
I went on the Fish's ticket outlet yesterday to sign
up for Sphere shows just to see if I could
get anything. And the price for Fish at the Sphere,
I'm like, I'll see if I can reserve four tickets.
They make you pay for your tickets, whether you're gonna
get them or not. It comes out of your your
bank account. Yes, you have to pay for them no
matter what. And it's three hundred ticket, so a three

(02:30:57):
day pass to get four three day passes thirty six
hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (02:31:02):
And I'm like, there's no way I'm doing this. I
can't look.

Speaker 2 (02:31:07):
I would love to see them there because after seeing
Dead and Company there, it was so much fun. And
Fish does an even more unique show. Every single night
is a different Sphere show for them. They spend a
lot of money on it, but I think I'm gonna
draw the line on a three hundred dollars face value
ticket for a concert.

Speaker 20 (02:31:26):
I think that's fair.

Speaker 12 (02:31:27):
I think that's absolutely fair. I thought the same thing
when I was like, all right, I want to go,
and I.

Speaker 20 (02:31:32):
Probably will go.

Speaker 12 (02:31:33):
But like that is I didn't realize that part of
it that you have to pay before.

Speaker 3 (02:31:38):
Yeah, I mean it's.

Speaker 12 (02:31:40):
There's got to be a limit to all this stuff eventually, right,
like the regular But that's that's also like I guess
I'm not to the same level of you know, like
money that we're asking for our fans. But like we
did sell like hank Dog toys over Black Friday, and
those sold out right away. So if there's a demand,
you got to just do it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:01):
Were they three hundred dollars apiece? Because you missed out?
If they weren't, they weren't.

Speaker 12 (02:32:05):
They were twenty dollars apiece. We sold five hundred of
them in eighty seven seconds. We might have calculated how
many to order.

Speaker 3 (02:32:12):
That's unbelievable.

Speaker 12 (02:32:14):
We had like three thousand people on the wait list
within the first ten minutes.

Speaker 20 (02:32:18):
We really messed that one up.

Speaker 12 (02:32:20):
We could have sold probably like one hundred thousand hank
Dog toys.

Speaker 2 (02:32:23):

Sports Up brought to you by Bridgeville. Apply its raandly.
You asked me yesterday, how can the Steelers beat the Ravens?
How can they attack the Ravens. I have an answer
for you today.

Speaker 3 (02:33:36):
I want to hear it.

Speaker 10 (02:33:37):
We'll get to that in just a second, but just
to kind of set the table for Sunday resumption to
one of the great rivalries in sports, and nobody's talking
about that, probably in either city. Weird, well, because both
fan bases are so down on the team's performance this year,
and yet they're playing for first place both teams. Yes,

(02:33:58):
and there's no clear cut face in the AFC where
if you were ever gonna sneak into the playoffs at
nine and eight, this would be the year you might
actually be able to do some damage.

Speaker 2 (02:34:06):
And this is the first of two games they'll play
this month with well, I guess the second game is the.

Speaker 3 (02:34:10):
First week of January, first weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:34:12):
Yeah, but yeah, like the Packers and the Bears are
playing each other twice in two weeks with the similar
dynamic of whoever wins is on top. So that one,
because both those teams have been playing, well, that's the
national spotlight game this weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:34:26):
That's the one. Everyone's like, this is the game of
the weekend. But this has all the same ramifications.

Speaker 10 (02:34:31):
And better recent history because the Bears have stunk for
so long, right, Pittsburgh leaves the all time series thirty
six twenty seven. Steelers have actually won eight of the
last eleven, all of them by a touchdown or fewer points.
But the Ravens have won the last two, and both
in convincing fashion, particularly in the playoffs. A couple of

(02:34:53):
the you know game within the game matchups. They're almost
identical statistically across the b but there are some differences.
Red zone defense the Steelers are tenth in the NFL,
and red zone offense the Ravens are thirtieth. Believe it
or not, it's because Lamar Jackson has not been running
because he's been hurt or trying not to get hurt again.

(02:35:16):
He only has one rushing touchdown. He averages five a year.
Steelers got to win defensive red zone and then offensive
red zone for Baltimore.

Speaker 3 (02:35:28):
The Ravens.

Speaker 10 (02:35:31):
The Ravens ranked sixth in red zone defense, the Steelers
rank fifth in red zone offense. So that's kind of
a toss up part when the Ravens getting the red
zone and Steel's got to win that. When the Steelers
getting the red zone, they gotta at least push that,
assuming there will be opportunities and then takeaways. Baltimore is

(02:35:52):
minus four on the season Pittsburgh's plus eight. That's a
big disparity. Ravens have been turning over a lot. They
don't take the ball away. So the Steelers got to
win takeaway. Probably say that every week.

Speaker 2 (02:36:05):
Well because it's the only way they can win right now,
and a lot of people are criticizing them for that
is the makeup of their defense. The strategy is get takeaways,
huge splash plays and let them run rampant in between.

Speaker 10 (02:36:18):
Yeah, well, I don't know about to let them run part,
but they seem to be running.

Speaker 3 (02:36:25):
Sack differential.

Speaker 10 (02:36:26):
The Ravens have a minus fifteen sack differential and they
have one of the hardest quarterbacks in the NFL to sack.

Speaker 3 (02:36:33):
That speaks to.

Speaker 10 (02:36:34):
Their lack of rush and to Lamar's somewhat limited physical state.
This year, Pittsburgh's plus twelve Steelers have registered thirty four
sacks and allowed twenty two. Baltimore's registered nineteen and allowed
thirty four. So turnovers, splash defense, takeaways and sacks the trend.

(02:36:55):
There seems to be an opportunity there for the Steelers. Then,
with just the basic player of football. Obviously, you got
to stop their running game. We could talk about that
from now until kickoff. Who knows if they'll do it
or not. The way the Bengals attacked the Ravens was
interesting to me. They did a lot of really stealer
like things. For the first two and a half quarters.
They attacked the perimeter, They threw short into the outside,

(02:37:19):
they got the ball out, quick play action bootleg with Burrow.
They ran to the outside perimeter, perimeter, perimeter, and then
mid to late third quarter like Rocky switching back to
the left handed or however that worked. Then they went
down the middle a couple times and scorched them almost
like love them into a false sense of security that

(02:37:39):
they weren't going to go over the middle. And then
they attacked the middle. The guy you want to attack.
I've been saying this for a couple of years. Marlin
Humphy's had a great career at their cornerback number forty four.
You can get behind him, remember a couple of years ago,
pick at the pickens with the game on the line,
you can get behind him. Bengals hook one on one

(02:38:01):
shots deep, a lot of them. They didn't hit Who's
running those Austin and DK. I mean probably not Austin,
probably might not see him this week. No or not
Austin not DK. I wouldn't think he's not the deep
ball guy.

Speaker 3 (02:38:17):
Well maybe he is. I don't know who. He's just
been doubled up so much. He can't get get loose.

Speaker 10 (02:38:22):
But occasionally get a one on one. I mean they
got chased behind him one time. It's not they don't
get doubled every down, despite what people like to say.
When I say people, I mean the participants. Right, Oh,
you can't get a DK. He's doubled everything. Well, now
you just got to recognize when he's not and you
got to take your shot. Bengals missed a fair amount
of times, but they hit a couple. They got a

(02:38:42):
pass interference penalty. And part of this, and I think
this plays right into Aaron Rodgers wheelhouse. They got a
rookie or not a rookie safety safety they traded for
from the Chargers, a low high Gilman uh he starts
and and Malachi Starks as a rookie of the other safety.

(02:39:03):
Gilman in particular will kind of line up like he's
gonna double, but it's almost like a feine double coverage,
then he either looks inside or moves inside at the snap,
if Rogers can detect when it's actually double coverage and
when it isn't, which we sall do that in New England,
I mean Baltimore's Sohllet defensive philosophy seems to be lining

(02:39:26):
up a bunch of guys at the line of scrimmage.
Everybody's faking a blitz. They don't blitz that often, but
you don't know who's coming, and you don't know where
the guys who are dropping are going to go. That's
what they're trying to They're trying to confuse quarterbacks because
they can't get there, right Can they confuse Aaron Rodgers?
Or can they get there against Aaron Rodgers, which they

(02:39:48):
don't normally do, but if they do, it's a problem.

Speaker 3 (02:39:51):
All right, let's do a quick break. We'll come back.

Radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers run out two point five.
Dve and Pad Whistle hanging out with us this morning
in studio.

Speaker 3 (02:40:30):
Good morning, Yeah, thanks for.

Speaker 2 (02:40:31):
Coming over there, buddy, Thank you for having me and
Abby prisoner. Of course, Mike ran to get to the US.
There's a locker room thing going on down at the stadium.

Speaker 3 (02:40:41):
Our next guest brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates,
a personal injury law firm where they always say there's
never a fee unless we get money for you. Guy, Jonker,
Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 8 (02:40:50):
What's up, guy, Good, Good morning morning team. I hope
you all had a good turkey day.

Speaker 3 (02:40:55):
Oh dude, I had a great one. How about you?
Do you have a good one.

Speaker 8 (02:40:58):
I will get near a scale for a few weeks,
but yeah, it was good.

Speaker 3 (02:41:01):
How long did you take the turkey?

Speaker 8 (02:41:04):
How?

Speaker 20 (02:41:05):
How long? What?

Speaker 2 (02:41:06):
How long did you keep eating turkey? What day did
you stop eating turkey?

Speaker 8 (02:41:09):
Because I think I had a turkey sandwich last night?

Speaker 3 (02:41:12):
Yeah, me too, Me too.

Speaker 2 (02:41:14):
I took I took it to yesterday and I had
and I had one piece of pumpkin pie left and
I'm looking at it going Nope, not eating that yeah, I'm.

Speaker 8 (02:41:21):
Thinking of doing some turkey salad, but I say I've
had my fill. I love it, but I'm turkeyed out.

Speaker 2 (02:41:28):
How surprised are you about Penn State's coaching predicament.

Speaker 8 (02:41:34):
Well, I you know, I told you guys at the time,
I didn't like the firing. I like James Franklin. I
know they you know, I know his record and against
top ten teams and all that stuff. But even if
they were going to do that, I thought they should
have waited toil the end of the year. And while
this looks like a complete botch job by Pat Kraft
and the way everything's going, you know, Todd mcshay's revelation

(02:41:57):
about this Jimmy Sexton thing, I think is explaining a lot.
And you know, he was Franklin's agent who has taken
to them for firing him, and he has steered all
of his clients away from Penn State, orchestrated extensions for
a lot of guys. Chesney's the James Madison coach who
was supposedly they were interested in, you know, he takes

(02:42:17):
another job somewhere else. So I think there's been some things,
some vendetta against Penn State. There which might explain it
a little bit, but that's not going to make the
you know, the alumni or the fan base any happier though.
So I didn't like the firing at the time, but
I am very surprised if they've had this much trouble.
You know, ESPN listed it as d that in the

(02:42:37):
LSU job is the two top available jobs when all
these coaching jobs were available, and now they've all been filled.
I think that's the frustrating part. You fired the guy
in mid season, you think to get a head start
on getting your next guy. I believe UCLA was the
only school that fired a guy earlier than them Yet LSU, Florida,
Old Miss Auburn, I'll South Florida. Of course, Virginia Tech

(02:42:59):
have all got their coaches in line, and Penn State's
recruiting classes now barely ahead of Perryview A and m guy.

Speaker 5 (02:43:07):
Ben Roethlisberger suggested on his podcast this week that it
might be time for a fresh start for Mike Tomlin
and Steeler fans. He also suggested, you know, maybe Tomlin
should go to Penn State where he might win some
national titles.

Speaker 8 (02:43:19):
Nah, that ain't happen. I would be you know, I
don't necessarily think he would be a terrible fit there.
He's not gonna want to do that. He would do
that as a giant. And even when they're talking about
Brian Dabole and guys like that, I mean, anybody coming
from the NFL, there's still a bit of a learning
curve when it comes to recruiting nil money transfer portal.

(02:43:41):
It's a totally different game than what you're coaching in
the NFL. Whoever they hire, I hope is a guy
would college experience, not NFL experience, or a little both.

Speaker 2 (02:43:51):
Well, I mean, let's agree that Ben was just trying
to bust his balls in yeah, and didn't anticipate that
that would get thrown into the national you know, sports
talk menu for the day, because every single show talked
about the potential of Mike Tomlin going to Penn State.

Speaker 3 (02:44:08):
Which had to have unnerved coach t to know. And
the guy who said never say never, but never.

Speaker 2 (02:44:14):
There aren't boosters who can write a check big enough
for me to go to college because he sees it
as a huge step down.

Speaker 8 (02:44:22):
Well, well, Ben probably knew exactly that he would did.

Speaker 3 (02:44:25):
All this exactly.

Speaker 8 (02:44:27):
Well, if you remember, you might guys remember John Burton
Channel four a.

Speaker 3 (02:44:30):
Week jab he's the best.

Speaker 7 (02:44:32):
Oh yeah, well he actually Okay, So Bill Cower was
rumored to maybe be interested in the NC State job
where he played and our station Don and Rawley wanted
us to ask him at the Prett Weekly press.

Speaker 8 (02:44:47):
Conference about the rumors that he could be headed.

Speaker 3 (02:44:50):
To NC State.

Speaker 8 (02:44:51):
Well, John Burton at that time was covering the Cower
press conference on Tuesdays. He said, there is no way
I'm gonna ask him that question. It's not happen. Well,
the news director at Channel four at the time then
pulled his press He said, you're not covering the press
conference anymore. We're sending Sheldon Ingram. So they said Sheldon
Ingram down.

Speaker 2 (02:45:11):
Sheldon's terrifying, So that was probably a good move.

Speaker 20 (02:45:15):
He is.

Speaker 8 (02:45:16):
But you also, if you're gonna get down there every
single week and try to get information and talk to
Bill Cowherd, you can't ask him a question when you know.

Speaker 3 (02:45:23):
It's that asked exactly exactly. Send Sheldon in to do
the dirty he's the wolf. Did he do it?

Speaker 20 (02:45:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:45:34):
Sheldon did.

Speaker 8 (02:45:34):
Yeah, And I don't think JB covered. After a couple
of weeks, it all blew over and JB was back
to covering the weekly press conference. But it was a big,
you know, a big hubbub in the newsroom over all
that stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:45:46):
Oh yeah, you'd have to wear a spit uh cut
like mask to ask Hower that question because it would
be flying after you asserted that he might leave the
Steelers for North Carolina State. All right, Well, you know
what stinks about the game this week, and you know
we've been comparing it to the two You know, this
time of year, you get a lot of rivalry games,
and there's you know, the longest running rivalry in the

(02:46:07):
NFL in the Packers and the Bears. Those guys facing
each other with unique circumstances on the line here being
that they're both good for a change. It's been a
long time since twenty ten, the NFC championship game that
determined who would go on to face the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (02:46:24):
And they I think eleven and zero.

Speaker 2 (02:46:27):
The Packers were with Matt Lafleur in the last twelve
games before having lost last year's finale. They've just been
owning it. It's not much of a rivalry when one
team beats up on the others.

Speaker 3 (02:46:38):
And now the Bears are good again, and everyone's looking
at that game, going, oh man, this is gonna be
a classic matchup. But the Steelers and the Ravens are
the same thing. They're just in a different place. They're
still fighting for number one guy. It just doesn't have
a luster that that one does.

Speaker 16 (02:46:55):
Well.

Speaker 8 (02:46:55):
I was glad to hear pursuit of breaking the game
down a little bit in his last sportscast, but where
he left there, because my thoughts were the same as
you guys. I haven't heard a word all week about
this game. All I've heard about is you know, tomlins
unsee is he going to be fired? Yes, he's going
to pends, you know. And it's I mean, it's understandable
if you look, I mean, forget the small picture and

(02:47:15):
all this stuff, look at the big picture. A year
ago this weekend, they beat the Browns to go to
ten and three. Since then, there's six and eleven. That's
the equivalent of a full season. And and you know,
both teams are coming off embarrassed. You know, in Baltimore,
they thought they had a team that was going to
be a Super Bowl compender. They're sitting there six and six.
They're disappointed. They got embarrassed by the Bengals. On Thanksgiving,

(02:47:37):
the Steelers were, you know, slapped around by Buffalo. And
I think both fan bases are sitting there thinking, oh God,
we're going to see more of the same against our
most hated rival. Instead of going into it like foaming
purple at the mouth in Baltimore and painting your face
black and golden Pittsburgh, every I think it's more afraid, like,
oh man, it's gonna happen again.

Speaker 2 (02:47:55):
Yeah, it's a one o'clock game, Steelers and the Ravens.
And I just do not understand for the life of me, guy,
how that defense is so jeckyl and hide. And I
don't even know if i'll I mean, I guess you
have to give them the full credit of being good
when you stop Jonathan Taylor, when you shut down the
Bears running attack, you know, to the more formidable rushing

(02:48:17):
teams in the league. But how could it be that just,
I mean, unorganized is the only word I can think of.

Speaker 3 (02:48:27):
They looked like they had no idea what they were
doing against the Bills. How do you let that happens?

Speaker 8 (02:48:34):
When Tony Rolo is sitting in the press watching says
they're just running two place. They're running the same two place,
but they can't figure that. You know where coaching comes
into most in football to me, is it halftime. There's
the perfect time where you sit there you adjust to
what is go forget whatever whatever happened the whole season,
what happened in the first two quarters of that game.
That's what you have to adjust to in the second half.

(02:48:57):
The Steelers have been outscored in the third quarter almost
every game in this year. They've been outscored in the
second half one hundred and seventy eight to one hundred
and twenty nine. Four of their six losses they lead
at halftime. I think there's severely being out coached in
the second half.

Speaker 2 (02:49:12):
