Speaker 1 (00:01):
Guaranteed human to your point about not being able to
speak to a person.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
A couple of weeks ago, this woman that I know
who walks her dogs like, you know, we're like dog
walking friends.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Do you know her name?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Her name is Michelle.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Okay, because you know, in a dog park you wouldn't
know her name, right, you only know the.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Dog's name in the neighborhood. Oy, Michelle, how's it going. Look,
there's Coco. I don't want her to know your name,
your Coco's parent.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Hi, Coco Mama, which she loves.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
She don't talk to me like the dog. Sorry, sorry,
give her a treat and move on. So she was, she's.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Walking down our street and she had her phone out
on speakerphone. But you know in the city is common
people screaming into their phones. But I immediately knew what
she was doing because she was screaming real personal.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Person Brandy Bellman and the DV morning show everybody Tad
whistles with us.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, that is the most annoying thing in the world.
Just feutally screaming at your phone at a computer.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Operator operator patch me through. I just hit zeros.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
No, you used to be able to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
They're onto it. Now. That was the hack.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, I never even I feel like such an idiot.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
We needs to be able to just keep hitting zero
and then they would get frustrated with you, and eventually
you would just get a person. And now they know
that and they just let you hit zero until you die.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yes, what if you scream zero in your phone over.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, that's what they've reduced us to.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
But there's no customer service anywhere, and when you do,
you finally get somebody, it's always obviously, you know, somewhere
across the world, and they are always like, hello, my
name is Ed. You're like, your name isn't you know? Look,
let's if we're gonna have a good relationship here, I
need to know your real name.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You can't start with a lie. I always ask him
that and they're like, no, I'm it's I'm Frank. You
know you're not You're not Sam. Not Sam.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
And then once they tell you, I'm like, okay, now
we're being honest with each other, so let's fix the
problem here. So a lot of times those people are delightful,
don't get me wrong. They just want to help, you know, Yeah,
but they don't care. So many they're following guidelines and
they're just reading off the thing, and they are a
ticket many many time zones away from you. If you
(02:29):
are lucky enough to even get anybody on. I'm telling
you my cable company, I've not been able to get
a person on. Can't can't find a person, No people.
And they even got to the point where they're like, oh,
do you need something fixed with your cable box, Well
you better bring that in.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We're not coming to you. Yeah, you get it. Most
times you have to bring it in.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Occasionally, when it's like a real serious situation, they'll they'll
send somebody out, they charge you through the nose for it,
and then they climb up the telephone pole and then
fix the thing.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
What if you lied and made up a reason why
somebody had to come to your house, and then once
you got them in the house, you're like, can you
can you fix that from me real quick? Just why
you're here? Can you make sure that it stops recording
Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
You've just got in the fedcoat, Zoe.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Just locked the door, come out dressed like John Dotcom,
fake mustache.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That Hill's High School. We love your big reds.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Suspenders on and everything. Fix the cable. Oh, I'm gonna
do NonStop highlights at you. Abby's got your news right now.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
What's going on? News?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
This hour is brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems,
Wet Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. Cloudy today, it's a
high of thirty four. I want to get the real
time temperature. It was sixteen last hour. It's still sixteen.
It's very cold, so you're gonna have to scrape the
windshield if you park outs.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Dipping down into the teens, dipping down into them team.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
All right.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
We talked about this yesterday how Garbage singer Shirley Manson
gave an on stage rant after spotting somebody in the
crowd with a beach ball the band set at Good
Things Festival in Melbourne. This was in Australia. At Garbage's
next show on.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Sunday, Brisbane. Let them know how they felt about that.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Rant and made sure that there was a plethora of
beach This is.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
A hilarious troll by the Australians who rightly reacted to
Shirley Manson.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Who I like it. You know, she's great, I don't
get me wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
But her outrage at a beach ball at a concert
was one of the most disproportionate responses I've ever seen
at a live show.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
And so for the Aussies to go, all right, the
next show that she does is just full of beach balls.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
That is hilarious and she should have just gone, well done,
well done, drop it, steered into this kid and drop it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
But no, that is not what she did.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
She he then pointed out that the incident drew more
headlines than the humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
And she apologized to those who get joy out of
hitting beach balls at shows, but she basically made them
feel guilty for making more out of the beach balls
than anything else that she had said about all of
the crises around the world.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And it is not playing one. Did you grab that
sound bite I sent you of the Oh there was
a lot of swear words.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But it's so funny because she's teeing off on this
guy for having the beach ball, right, and you can
hear these like OSSI's around together.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well that's not right, you.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Know, like like like I can't do the accident.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But they were like, we're all here, have a good time.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I mean, she was criticizing his manhood. Yes, I want
to have my crew come and beat you, but I'm
a lady and I want to tell everybody to punch you.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And you can just hear all these people, all these
assi's in the crowd like, well.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's a bit much.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Even Shooter McGavin didn't go that hard. This isn't a
rock concert.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
This is a rock concert, right, So it is hilarious
that they showed up in beach ballder and guess what
she might get beach balled everywhere she goes from now on.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
They don't have a lot of show left. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I feel so torn on this because in so many
ways I would never tell any woman that she is
not entitled to her.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Anger whenever it comes out and wherever it goes.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
But on this one, I think Shirley Manson needs to stop.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Because I know she's not angry about the beach ball.
I'm a woman. When a woman explodes about the dishes, guys,
the cheap code, it's not about the dishes. It was
never about the dishes. She doesn't hate.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Beach balls, you guys.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I know that that's funny, bigger than that. But she's
just sublimating like everything is going into the beach ball anger,
but it's it's really about all the things she's angry
at in life, and it's all being just nicely compartmentalized
in beach Ball hatred.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I'll tell you what, because we're gonna have Billy Gardell
on the show later. Billy and I had this great
conversation at Steve Burns goddamn, and I remember we were
talking about perrymenopause and menopause. And I don't think I'm
speaking out of turn, because you know, we were talking about, like,
you know, marriages in general.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And he's like, I'll tell you what, if you have.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Not got your business settled with your lady by the
time you hit perimenopause or menopause, it's over because she's done.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
That's kind of I didn't want to go there with
Surely that kind of felt like what was going on
there in your beach ball I think that's kind of
what we were talking about there. It's like a ninety
second rant and she's seething and pointing at a guy
(08:04):
and saying she wants she was she would like to
have people come punch him in the face, and he's
Dalless and he's, you know, like all of these crazy
insults because he brought a beach ball to the show.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And right now there are thousands of Australians at home,
you know, Amazon and beach balls to themself.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Are you ready for some beach ball? Surely I'll see
in Sydney. And that's what I think. They might have
one more show. Oh no, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And uh guaranteed major beach ball.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Guaranteed beach ball, all activities happening.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
All right.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Denny's could slowly become a thing of the past, with
the iconic breakfast chain planning to shut down even more
of its location.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Is paramount by it.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, unfortunately it makes sense they're fighting out over Netflix,
but there. Denny's clarified that this wave of shutdowns was
announced during its October twenty twenty four investor Day, so
in total, one hundred and fifty locations will be shut
down before the end of twenty twenty five. So they're
I guess they're happening now, and we actually have a
(09:12):
lot of Denny's.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I feel like here in.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
There's a Denny's in like a mile and a half
from my house, and I love knowing it's there, but
I don't patronize it enough, and I feel bad. I
feel like I'm part of the problem here. I'm like,
it's been way too long since I did a moon
over my Hammis.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
You know, they got good griddles, it was that good.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Great, they could everything. Their burgers were good. Remember when
they started doing burgers.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, they were like they started advertising like we are
the burger place, and it was kind of a misbranding
because people were like, no, we want you to be
the breakfast place.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
But when they did try to do the burgers, they
were good.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
That was always a good compromise breakfast place because they
had a little bit of everything.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Well.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
They also used to be open all the time and
that that was part of the appeal, like you can
drive us up there. Eaton Park was the same thing,
like that Eaton Park on Banksville. I mean I did
some super late night oh same super burgers there with
a few like tables full of people who were in
similar states of mind. And I miss that. Post COVID,
(10:19):
all of the late night eating is gone. There's no
more like diner culture late at night, no more like
I don't know, there's ridders still.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
No longer twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh yeah, nothing like going to ridders, you know, pretty
drunk looking at the menu and be like, what could
I Okay, this is what I want, but could I
actually eat it? And then uh, you know, hearing the
waitresses fight, right, the waitresses are all wearing scrubs as
if you're in an er.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, which kind of are in intensive care? For sure,
you're in a fragile state.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And then just hearing the waitresses bicker, and then you
being sort of wrapped up in the drama like them
coming back to your table like, I'm sorry you had
to hear that, hun, but she has been stealing tips.
I didn't hear what you were talking about. But now
I'm all in. I'm on your side. I got you,
deb I'm on your side. You are my waitress, and
(11:16):
I will die for you tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'll ven you, deb.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I feel like Joe Long has stole the name Debbi.
You can't every time I say deb now trademarked. Yeah,
I think he trademarked it. That's a guy who always
made me left too. I mean, he's hilarious, but he
really nailed the Pittsburgh name. Debb one syllable. It's perfect.
It's a perfect chicks name. But Ridders. I always got
the fried green tomatoes there. That was always like because
(11:43):
you could. Yeah, they don't have him anywhere else, but
I don't know if they still have, but forever you
could get fried green tomatoes there. And I was like,
where else in Pittsburgh You're getting this on principle alone,
we must order.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I mean, if yeah, fried green tomatoes, if if you
know housemaid, are U be very special? I went to
Riders one time. I want to say, I don't know.
Maybe we were like twenty five and my buddy Abe
shout out abe uh two in the morning. He looks
at the venue. The waitress comes by, She's like, what
do you want on and he's like, oh, the veal.
(12:17):
We all stop. We look at him. I'm like, what
are you doing. He's like, give it a shot. I'm
pretty hungry. It comes back, you know, like he eats
the veal. I'm like, how was it. He's like, not
that good. I'm like, it's on you, it's on you.
I was expecting more from the veal at Ritters two.
(12:39):
I am veal was like vial parmesan.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I thought, or was it like a scallapenie, like because
preparation matters.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Gravy.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, if you're deep frying it, then it's got a shot. Yeah,
I'm sure that's how it was prepared. Deep fried, mashed potatoes,
gravy on. The whole thing could be veal. Yeah, you
never know, city chicken or veal.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Right, it's gonna know. Nobody will know. But I do
miss that.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
The truth is I miss being able to eat that
late and not having it affect me for three days.
Oh I eight at three o'clock in the morning on Friday.
That takes till Monday. Gotta make a lot of decisions. Abby,
the domino effective that changes my lunch and dinner for
two days.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You're et laying in the creek for two days.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Just why.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I had to have the veal afcout.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
So now, what's wrong with Denny's, Like, like, is it
just closing up shop all over the place?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Are they going to stay open?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
But I mean the CEO stated that the goal is
to return to net flat to net flat to positive
growth by twenty twenty six, So it sounds like they have.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Some plan to kind of get back here.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
But for now, I mean, you should expect a lot
of closures before I mean really January here.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I mean, I don't know what it's like for the
dinner crowd there, but I would imagine that like that
is a six am to like three pm window for
them that they get patronized quite a bit.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I would think so too.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
And it is so odd that I think for for us,
we've still mapped it as this late night diner place,
even though it hasn't been that for so long. And again,
I can't think of a single place that I can
go for a late night diner and I deeply want it,
even though.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You know it would be cool. Here's an idea, abby to.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Get them some business back, because we're so isolated right
now as a culture, and we keep hearing how the
young men, and you know, not necessarily just the in cels,
but the young men especially you're having trouble getting out
there and meeting people. So why not at Denny's, just
offer them the opportunity to come sit with four old
guys and listen to them as they drink one cup
of coffee for four hours.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
The in cell specially.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Something like that, guys like just talk shop and smack
you around.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah. Well, yeah, you know, they won't listen to anything
you have to say. But you get to be privy
to their perspective on things, you know, because that happens
at Panera all the time. Like you'll if you go
to Panara, you're just gonna overhear four old guys talking.
I'm thinking another thing, right, Ukraine messes just keep going
on and you know, like, I don't know if you
guys are going to get a handle on it by
(15:23):
the time you're done with that soup.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But he used to be able to smoke in here.
Now that was a different time.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like when you as as the person listening, you know,
it's like as soon as someone says and now that
was a different time, it's like, oh this is going
forty minutes.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Yeah, you know, we used to never get sick because.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We didn't go to the doctor. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Denny's is one of those things that I feel like
I never wanted to get. It's like I hop in Denny's.
I never want them to go away. I know I
love them.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Also, I don't go to them enough.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I never All I want to do is be want
to go somewhere at one am and get an open
face turkey sandwich covered in gravy with fries on the side,
also covered in gravy.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
And also, I'm not gonna go and get that.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
We'll do It's all okay, It's like Arby's. I like
knowing it's there. Okay, I used to go a lot.
I told you about the Arby's by my family's house
of eerie. When my sister was back for Thanksgiving from
New York and she's like, does that sign on the
arb say what I think it says? And I look
over and it says closed for remodeling. She's like, what
are they doing? And I'm like, Oh, they're gussing it up,
(16:32):
classing it up.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You wait, I hope you like minimalist modern design, because
that's what Arby's is gonna be.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
You like ship lap with your beef and cheddar, That's
probably the design they'll they'll like put another like, h like,
beef and Sauce will be the new name of the place. Oh, oh,
you're gonna go to beef and Sauce and get the
five for five. Have you seen those fried steak tips
they have, by the way, yes, I dare you?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Have you tried them.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
No, the guy who works behind the counter at the
gym had a small container of them and he was
real pumped. But I couldn't stick around again. I'll see
him today, I'll ask him. I'll be like, hey, run
out were those?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
He's going to tell you, yeah, those He's trying to
crank all that extra protein in all the time.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Just the tips? How did they not use that as
a slogan? RBS? Just the tips? All right, Mike's got
your sports when we come back.
Speaker 3 (17:33):

This report is sponsored by Matthews Wall Anchor and Waterproofing.

If you have a swampy r here to Ramitt.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Mike pursued it with your sports right now on the
DVE Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Always like Fred Dryer.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
What didn't he plays Hunter? Yes, and he was on
Cheers he played the sportscaster guy. He was like the
Fedco guy on Cheers very much.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So, Yes, it's a great comparison. Again. Yeah, we had
a lot of Feedco talk this morning. Wow, Fred Dryer.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
He did a lot of high school highlights that promoted
him rather than the.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Actual Like I said earlier, that was just smart and
everybody was just jealous he was criticizing him. He was
smart enough to capitalize on it. He got plenty of
free cake. They make a cake for you if you
turn yourself into a celebrity and show up to high school.
It's just something to consider, Mike.
Speaker 11 (19:02):
Sports Is are brought to you by Bridgerow Appliance. The
Eagles started turning the ball over early last night at
SOFI Stadium, and they never stopped. Jalen Hurts fourth interception
of the game on first and ten from the LA
seventeen with two thirty five left in overtime sealed a
twenty two nineteen Chargers victory. LA IS nine and four
(19:24):
and a big step towards the playoffs for the Chargers
with that win over the Eagles last night, who fall
to eight and five.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I hadn't even considered that we wanted the Eagles to
win that game last night. Yeah, yeah, I just gotta
win a division.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
They're a mess. The Eagles are a mess. There's a
lot of teams who are a mess. You and I
were talking about that this morning over in a DJ cafe.
Eagles Chiefs Ravens, teams that were expected to be.
Speaker 11 (19:50):
Colts are cooked. I mean, they're talking about bringing Philip
Rivers back.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Forty four year old Philip Rivers, who's going to be
a grandfather. Philip Rivers has a that is as old
as Riley Leonard, probably a better quarterback. I don't know,
but there were people joking about them bringing Philip Rivers on,
and then two hours later it actually happened.
Speaker 11 (20:17):
They told Riley Leonard he's going to start the rest
of you, and he said, hey, if we're not going
to the playoffs, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah. Look, man, I mean.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
I think Notre Dame got you know, jobbed a little
bit in terms of like, are they.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
You think they're better than Alabama or you not? Don't
think they're better than Alabama. I don't think.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
I don't think it's obvious enough to just throw up
your hands and say, well, I'm gonna take my ball game.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I agree with you, and I hate that they're not
playing the game and absolutely don't deserve to go over Miami.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
No. I mean they beat them, so there you go,
So there you go. But they're not going to a
Bowl game no, because it's just no, we don't want
I don't want to. I hate that.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I love Bowl culture, but the playoffs have kind of
it's over diminished it both cultures.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I know.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Well, And that's why they won't catch a whole lot
of flak for this, I don't think. And then apparently
they signed the deal with the BCS that going forward
they will be guaranteed a spot if they finished within
the top twelve of the final rankings.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I believe that has happened.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yeah, but no other school has that deal. I mean,
if they joined a conference, it would solve a lot
of these problems.
Speaker 11 (21:27):
Yes it would, Okay, yes, it would like they are
in every other sport. Back to the bunday, I think
Sae kwon Barkley twenty for buck twenty two, including a
fifty two yard touchdown. Chargers got Omari and Hampton back,
and he went thirteen carries for fifty six yards. They
ran for one hundred and sixty nine. Justin Herbert only
(21:48):
threw for a buck thirty nine. He's severely compromised with
that broken hand, but.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He gutted it out.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
Hurts through four picks and fumbled once, including a pick
and a fumble on the same play, which people are
now scrambling to find out if if anyone has ever
turned it over twice on the same play before.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Has to have been the only time that ever happened.
Speaker 11 (22:09):
Interception. Chargers fumbled on the I return, Hurts got it back.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Fumbled in fairness, he didn't like get it and then
like you know, do a three stooges thing. He just
like he only had it for a second.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Meanwhile, down in Baltimore.
Speaker 11 (22:23):
The Ravens want everybody to know that they've talked to
the NFL, and yes, the NFL has acknowledged that the
call for unnecessary roughness on the Chris Boswell field goal
Sunday should not have been made, said Harbaugh, quote. It
was the wrong call. It should not have been called,
and he added that the league permitted him to release
such information to the public as for how costly these
(22:44):
calls were or were not. The Boswell field goal card
was six thirteen left in the second quarter. Steelers took
those three points off the board instead of leading thirteen
to three. They faced a first and goal at the
Ravens six up ten the three, and they scored a
touchdown on the next play, so could have stopped them.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That was an option.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
In terms of the Aaron Rodgers completion to himself, which
the Ravens thought should have been an interception and was
initially ruled an interception before it was overturned. That would
have given the Ravens the ball to Pittsburgh thirty two
yard line with six twenty six left in the game.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
As it was, the Steelers had to punt.
Speaker 11 (23:25):
The Ravens drove down the field and they had a
first and goal at the Steelers thirteen with two forty
seven left, so they got the ball, they drove it down.
They're in scoring position where they would have been had
the interception held up, except there was less time remaining.
So it's actually better for them because if you scored earlier,
the Steelers had more time to go down and score again.
(23:47):
They thought they had a touchdown on the Isaiah Likely
play that didn't happen, so now it's second and ten
at the Steelers thirteen. After that becomes an incompletion thanks
to replay review, it leads to a third and two
from the Steelers five two thirty two left in the game,
Derek Henry loses three yards on a plane which the
Ravens were penalized for illegal formation. Steelers declined a penalty
(24:11):
to set up fourth down. Hardblaughe admitted that they saw
that and just ran it. Anyway, he should have called
time out. So stop me when I get to something
that absolutely decided the game.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, it's officials related. They're a mess, though, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
It's it's not like they've been a juggernaut and the
ref came in and took a game away from them,
you know, when they were firing on all cylinders. They
have made a ton of mistakes all year long, and defensively,
they kind of reverted to what they look like the
first five weeks against the Steelers.
Speaker 11 (24:41):
Because the Steelers looked like a competent offense exactly. That's so,
which we all know is unlikely more to do with
the defense than the Steelers offense. It's gonna have to
be at least as much about the offense the rest
of the way.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I know that, but at least maybe not in the secondary,
but at least from a pass rush perspective.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I mean, they were able to keep Rogers clean.
Speaker 11 (25:05):
All day, and that's going to have to continue no
matter who's at left tackle. And Miami has ten sacks
in its last two games, but six of them came
against the Jets, who played almost the entire game with
rookie Brady Cook at quarterback.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
And you watched that game. I did to try to
glean a little I tried.
Speaker 11 (25:26):
To easy upcoming opponent, and this was a waste of time.
You rarely see games in the NFL in which the
team is as non competitive as the Jets were, Like
if they didn't have a first year coach.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
He'd be fired today. They were that bad.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
They are bad players, and they dropped the ball and
they commit penalties and they pretty much just stick. Yeah,
and they had no fight, slash effort. Miami's first three
possessions four plays sixty nine yards touchdown, five plays eighty
yards touchdown, place twenty nine yards touchdown. In the first quarter,
(26:03):
they had one hundred and ninety nine yards to the
Jets eighteen. They were averaging ten yards of play and
they had eleven first out.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
They just whatever they wanted to do work.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
They're either the greatest team since the undefeated Dolphins or
the Jets really suck. I'm gonna lean toward the let
be Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
It's almost like it's an indictment on the Dolphins for
not scoring fifty in that game.
Speaker 11 (26:26):
Let's just kind of shut it down at I mean,
it was twenty one nothing and they got Brady Cook.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I had to look up who he is.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Seriously, they scored a touchdown with him, Brady Cook. Yeah,
they also got one on a putt return. Oh, then
they didn't score a touchdown with him. If they got
one on a punt return then because they only got
ten points.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Oh that's right. They only got yeah, so they didn't
score touch okay.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
So they did not scork okay, because I remember quickly
putting in a wager when I saw they were down
to Brady Cook and I'm like, I don't even know
who that is, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume
they're not scoring it anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
And it was twenty one to three at the time.
Just did two things.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
They had the seventy eight yard punt return for a touchdown,
and they executed a fake punt on fourth and eight,
which was actually pretty cool. You know the three guys
that are the protectors. They snapped it direct to one
and then the guy on the right wing went out wide.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
And they did an option. Oh that's cool.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
And they even screwed down up because the guy won
hopped the options.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
But it was backwards. It was backwards.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
The guy was able to catch it and still run
to gained eighteen yards on it. Do you remember when
they used to run Miami special teams are maybe a
little vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
When they would run that play.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Teams would run trick plays where like they would do
an end around and the guy would like run to
the other's hash turn around to throw it back to
the quarterback and he would bounce it off the carpet
to him to make the defense feel like an incomplete
pass or something like that. That was the riskiest, most
stupid play ever, like the amount of things that could
go wrong in that, and it was like a thing for.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
A little while.
Speaker 11 (27:57):
Easier to do on turf though, yes, Yeah, more predictable
on the bounce.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, now that everybody's playing on grass, you want to
do that Thanksgiving weekend a for sure?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah right, Yeah, Penn Hills kids cleat Mark.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
No, I regret that play called immediately. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
Miami's a pretty young team. The young guys are starting
to get it, particularly on the offensive and defensive.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Lines, running the crap out of the ball.
Speaker 11 (28:29):
Yeah, but tado, we say they played Buffalo, Washington Saints
and chet on their four game winning streak, so caliber
competition is questionable. But the Dolphins did shut down the
Bills run game the last time those two teams played.

lie in game betting option, but there's also a cash
out option that's just as lovable.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
On bet Parks. Last night, I took advantage of both.
Speaker 11 (29:08):
Didn't like the price initially, but I jumped in when
Philly fell behind early and the odds became more favorable.
And I hated breaking a tie with a field goal
rather than a touchdown late, so I jumped back out
and cash a fifty five percent w As my old
man would have said, had he lived long enough to
experience the wonders of bet Parks, if somebody wants to
give you money for pushing a.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Not much?
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Have everything? Man? Well?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Pretty good?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You know there's a big win over the Ravens this
past Sunday in Baltimore. And you're no stranger to beating
the Ravens in Baltimore, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
That was nice to see. I always love seeing the
highlight of that.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That one on the anniversary of the game, and it's
kind of feel good to you to just remember that time.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I mean, the big hug between you and Ben at
the end.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Like holy balls, we did it.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
It's one of those games where Honestly, what I was
thinking in that moment was like, damn, this may be
the last game that ever started my National Football League career.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yellow ball what it was.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
It was, and so that's why it was the emotional
during that time. But you know, all of these years later,
you know, people still remember that it's been thirteen years
and always tell people. If it was against another team
outside of the Ravens, people probably would have forgot that game.
But because of how you know, it's important, especially with
the division game and the Ravens, that's how people remember
that game.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
And that's why all the import on this past Sunday.
You know, the rivalry that's existed forever, it always seems
to have ramifications for the division. This time was no exception.
The Steelers now find themselves in first place at seven
and six, while the Ravens fall to six and seven. Advantageous,
no doubt, because the Ravens have a tough go here
the rest of the way. The Steelers have it a
(31:38):
little bit easier. But it did look like that inasmuch
as the Ravens were doing things to beat themselves, with
Lamar making a couple of really questionable plays, Aaron Rodgers
and the offense seem to have been revitalized. Was it
as simple as putting Adam Feelen and mvs in there.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Yeah, well, we had that leadership out there, and you know,
Aaron made it a point earlier in the week and
we heard the reports on how you bought everybody together.
It's making sure that you're homing in on the details
of the signals, because, yeah, you can have a signal,
but once you put it on tape and obviously the
TV versions and everybody's seeing, you have to change up
your signals. And that's obviously obviously what he did, and
it showed because they went out four or five receiver
(32:18):
sets and it was good to see them spraying the
ball around and that you know, this three yards and
the cloud of death type of mentality to loosen up
that raven defense and they would ever take advantage of it.
Speaker 11 (32:28):
Charlie, Randy and I have been kicking this around a
little bit since the game. We're both of the opinion that, yeah,
they gave up two hundred rushing yards again, but it
looked a lot better than Buffalo. It kind of felt
a lot better than Buffalo watching it. Did you have
the same impression or are two hundred yards two hundred yards.
Speaker 7 (32:46):
Yeah, there's still some issues there. I mean, or if
you're on the defensive side of the ball, yes, you
made the stops needed becaually the two stops needed at
the end of the game, but you don't feel good
about yourself because you know there's some things you truly
have to work on because you're not correcting them again
second week in a row. But to your point, you know,
this is something that for me, it just felt like
offensively they were able to able to score points and
(33:07):
keep that lead even though the defense was giving up
those yardage that way, So you know, it's good complimentary football.
But man, this team is nowhere near the stage of
saying we made it. They know they had some issues
moving forward.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Well, are we gonna be able to run the ball
moving forward? I keep waiting for the time when we
just go to gainwell and Jalen Warren NonStop and you
know Aaron Rodgers only has seventeen pass attempts and we
bleed the clock and get back to Steeler football. Is
that out the window now with the injuries.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
On the offensive line, that it's possible.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
But I think they if they go back to using
that short passing game in a manner that they did
on Jalen Warren's touchdown pass. Yeah, I'm okay with that.
I that here if you go now going to substitute
that short passing game for the running game just to
kind of loosen up the defense. But if you go
back and watch that particular play, the Ravens thought that
they were going to run the football, you leak Jalen
out in the flat, but if you watch Pat Fyer move,
he's running wide over in the middle of the field
(34:01):
and that's how he was back, you know, able to
peel back and make sure he's a security blocks for
Warren's run. So again, they know as the weather starts
to change that they're going to have to figure out
a way at least the attempts to rush the football.
If you think that that play action game is going
to be part of this offense.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
All right, Defensively, you know, like you said, there's still
some work to be done there. But in the secondary,
I mean, the emergence of both Brandon Eckles has been
great all year for the Steelers. I think he's been
so much more than what was expected. But James Pierre's
emergence is also a revelation for the Steelers, and how
much do you think they can count on him to
(34:36):
be another great piece in that secondary.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
No, you definitely could count on both of those guys.
These guys have been playing phenomenal throughout the course of
the season, and if you start the season, these guys
weren't even mentioned. They were mentioned as possibly being cut,
but here they are now contributing in the manner that
they are. Those guys are playing with tons of confidence
and they're not afraid if they're allowing at one on
one that they feel like they can win that matchup.
So it's really good to see both of those those guys,
(35:00):
specifically James Pierre, a guy who's been forgot but yet
he's been on this roster for years, sitting up there
making big play after big play back.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
On the offensive side of the ball. Darnell Washington hurt.
How does that change what Arthur Smith is going to do?
Speaker 7 (35:13):
Yeah, he's their best pass blocking Sorry if that's.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Run block, assuming, by the way, that he doesn't play
on because we don't.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
Know yet A right, absolutely, And I was just going
to say that because you know, obviously Tomlin press conferences
later on today. But the issue is we won't know
about it because once you go into the concussion protocol,
Tomlin is not able to speak on it for that
manner because now it's going to the medical asperst. So
this is going to come down to the wire, and
obviously Saturday will be the true indication. Typically is Friday,
(35:41):
but Saturday, due to the Monday night game, will be
indication whether or not he can play, and if he can,
hopefully this is the week that we see more pat
fire move Charlie.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Miami's coming to town having won four straight.
Speaker 11 (35:53):
Steelers are coming off a big win over the Ravens
home on Monday Night football.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Is there an edge either way?
Speaker 11 (35:59):
Or have we've seen enough to know by now that
it's just week to week and you got to wait
and see what happens.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
Now this is going to be week to week because
you're coming off a big win like this. You can't
afford a loss on the primetime Monday night football. So
this is going to be important for these guys, and
obviously each week is going to be important. Miami comes
in with a lot more a fancy offense that we
typically had used to seeing, so they're going to try
to create confusion, and that's been something on the defensive
side of the ball. When they line up in certain packages,
(36:26):
they're miscommunication and guys are running free. So the Steelers
have to clean that up, make sure that eye candy
and that get caught in to a shift or emotion
that now disrupts them from.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Doing their job.
Speaker 7 (36:37):
So it's very important hopefully that crowd at acting sure
Stadium is able to disrupt that offense and be an
impact throughout the course of the game.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Chuck, the late Thanksgiving means Christmas is quickly approaching and
the Batch Foundations got their else busy at work.
Speaker 1 (36:52):

The holidays are here and this time of year is
all about connecting with families and loved ones. And did
you know that for older adults who don't live near
their family, connecting through technology might not always be the
easiest thing. I know, I've got a couple relatives with
that issue. Well, at and T has something pretty cool
to help people like that, They offer digital literacy workshops
(39:19):
that help older adults learn to use the kind of
technology that enables them to keep in contact with their family,
you know, video conferencing, being able to share photos. Nancy
Shanfer example, was one person who joined one of AT
and T's workshops to learn how to do all this.
And this holiday season, Nancy won't just be hearing about
family gathering. She's going to be a part of them,
sharing stories, opening presents, making new memories all through a screen.
(39:43):
I don't have to tell you that this holiday season,
in every holiday season, you should call your loved ones
and stay connected no matter the distance. At AT and
T they know connecting changes everything.

Connecting changes everything at and T.
