Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Wdd bit's for an ipart radio station guaranteed human.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
There were so many calls yesterday outside of that that
were like little ones that I think had a little reverberating.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Effect when we challenge.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
There's a Flowers catch that I still don't think was
a catch. They challenged the Calvin Austin that they said
wasn't a catch, But if the Flowers one was, I
don't understand why the Calvin Austin third down catch where
he falls out of bounds and the ball moves a
little bit, why that's not a catch?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
The likely one is gonna be brutal, and as Pittsburgh's
we have to feel a little sympathetic for Baltimore. Seven
years ago, it was Jesse James getting told that a
catch is not a catch unless it's caught in the
process of making a catch while catching it. So like
that's right, So we're in the same And my whole
thing is, have have we heard from Jesse James since?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Like where Jesse James evaporated it?

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Like I feel like at this point he's just haunting
Roger Goodell's office at NFL headquarters like he's the Phantom
of the opera. Every time a catch gets overturned, a
chandelier mysteriously falls from the ceiling.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning. Yeah, Jeff Cockle was
on with U yesterday there and just kicking around the
whole Isaiah likely situation and what Ravens fans must be
feeling right now. And you saw from that John Harbaugh
Press conversation always pissed.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
He's pissed, and if it was us, we'd be pissed.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Bad role, It's a bad rule, but we benefited from it,
and we won. Our buddy Tad Whistle's hanging out with
us this morning. I mean that, Tad. That Ravens game
was satisfying in many ways, not the least of which
is that beating the Ravens on its own is great,
But somehow watching them pull their hair out over getting
jobbed by the refs is better.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
It made as much sweeter to see them get screwed.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
And you know, I know it's you you want to
think about the league and fairness. I felt that way
for a split second, and then I thought, you know what.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
What what comes around goes around.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah, I feel like we already had our bite of
the apple of getting screwed recently, and I'm just glad
to see it happen to Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
We can come together over something. Yeah, And you know
the best possible situation is if you beat them to
a pulp just because you're better. Really on one level,
it's like, oh, we were just a better team, superior,
but we already know we're not that good now, you
know what I mean. Like we went into that one
six and six. They were six and six. Our six

(03:00):
and six feels more noble than they're like because they
were I'm not kidding, because they were pre season super
Bowl favorites and everybody was talking about how that roster
was built to win super Bowls and and our roster
was not ours. Our roster was built to go to
the early Bird Special, to be at Eaton Park at

(03:21):
five point forty five for dinner.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's what, which is kind of late, actually.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Rogers says the doting waitress. Scrud. Baked scrud, dude, I'm sorry,
baked scrod sounds bad. It's like, it's not out here
baking my scrud. But watching them get jobbed and they
lost their mind and they're falling apart and they're pointing

(03:47):
fingers at each other because they think they should have
beat the hell out of us. That's that's been kind
of nice too. I like that. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
I mean they have a franchise quarterback. They have a
Hall of Fame running back who's still in some semblance
of his prime, and a defense with an innumerable amount
of resources in the backfield like their corners and safeties
and Hamilton Huphree.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I was given an Pittsburgh Humphrey. Is it in Humphrey?
Is it Humphreys or a Humphrey. We'll never know. It
doesn't matter. When we're in the four one two, it
gets an s.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yeah, it was great and uh, especially with Tony Romo
teasing back and forth like lamar he looks really good.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
No, maybe he looks a little injured.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
Maybe, and then waffling between the two depending on why.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Don't know, he looks pretty good.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I mean, it's just like Tony Romo having sex is
a funny thought.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just Tony, I think you should concentrate on what you're
I think I like that way.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
No, no.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Touching the butt feels good, Jim. Anyways, Charlie Batchell join us.
Let's clean it up before Charlie gets here. Okay, I
can't know we're doing this. Jerry Doulac in the eight
o'clock hour. Billy Gardell live from Los Angeles, California, for
the entire nine o'clock hour. You know, Billy was in
Pittsburgh a month ago and had a really serious health situation.

(05:27):
Aphib almost died. Like literally, if he would have gone
on the plane to go back to Los Angeles instead
of checking himself into a hospital here in Pittsburgh, he
might have checked out. His doctors told him, now, you're
gonna need to rest for a few weeks. Call him down,
get your heart rate back where it's supposed to be.
And he said, got it, and immediately went on a
NonStop publicity tour.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm like, what are you doing? Call him down?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
He's like, gotta make hey way the sun shines cause
so of course we're making a wake up at four
forty five am at his time to come on with us.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
We are.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yes, Abby's got a news update for you. Now, what's up?

Speaker 9 (06:03):
Is this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
Rather cloudy today it is a high of thirty four
and I am back on my current temperature. So now
We're going to start telling you what the current temperature
is because I feel like you need to know that
you're doing well well because it is sixteen degrees right now.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Wait a minute, were you not doing the current temperature before?
I wasn't? We just guys?

Speaker 9 (06:25):
No, I just thought, you know, everyone knows, everyone knows,
but this is so bad.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's so bad, we need to talk about it degrees.
I came in here feeling like a what I was
telling you, I'm like, I usually handle the weather pretty good.
You're like, it's sixteen degrees. I'm like, okay, I feel
quite as bad about being like, oh, my steering wheel
is cold? How dare it?

Speaker 9 (06:46):
But yes, it was ten when I woke up, so
we're already improved.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
All right, well good, all right.

Speaker 9 (06:52):
Paramount has issued a hostile bid for Warner Brothers Discovery,
offering shareholders thirty dollars a share, the same deal they
post before Netflix's bid. Paramount wants to acquire the entire
Warner Brothers Discovery company, including the global network segment. Paramount
criticized the Warner Brothers Netflix deal, stating it exposes shareholders

(07:13):
to regulatory hurdles and a mix of equity and cash.
The Netflix bid is valued at twenty seven seventy five
a share, totaling eighty two billion excluding CNN and Discovery,
while Paramount's proposal is valued at one hundred and eight
billion excluding or including rather debt. President Trump expressed concerns

(07:33):
about the Warner Netflix deals potential market share impacts, suggesting
that it could be a problem. Paramount's decision to take
its offer directly to Warner shareholders could set up a
messy public battle for the future of Warner's coveted assets
like HBO, Harry Potter, and DC Comics.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
So did he have anything to say about the Paramount
hostel takeover?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
You mean his buddies. He was okay with his buddies using.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Ten times more Saudi money to buy all of our
entertainment than he was with Netflix buying it. To be clear,
I'm not okay with either of those things happening, because
this is clearly like, uh, this is what ant trust
laws are supposed to be about, as far as I'm concerned,
Because is like Live Nation owning every part of your
concert going experience, from the management of the artists, to

(08:18):
ownership of the venue to being the the booking agent.
And you know that needs to be broken up too,
because we're all getting host And the guy who's in
charge a live nation said in an interview a few
months ago, you know people aren't paying enough for concerts
literally said that. Great point. Yeah really, so imagine what

(08:40):
your movie going experience is going to be. It Not
only are you going to have a you know, dearth
of choices. There's not going to be great you know,
variety out there, but accessing the stuff that we already
loved is going to cost you. Oh did you want
to watch the Sopranos? Yeah, well I see it's on
HBO Max and I have HBO Max. Yeah, but you're

(09:00):
gonna have to pay five dollars more per episode now
if you want to watch it. I mean, the ways
in which they can stick it to us here are
just numerous.

Speaker 9 (09:08):
Or I feel like last year we talked a lot
too about even things like and maybe this is outside
of a particular deal like this, but even when we
wanted to access things like particular NFL games, the way
that they were doing it so ala carte, they're like, oh,
you want.

Speaker 10 (09:22):
To watch that game, Oh, that game's a paid one,
Like that game's different and It just seems like the
more these companies are able to wrap their arms around
every possible entity, we're just gonna get boxed out of
everything because we're always trying to figure out.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
What the best way to go about our entertainment is.

Speaker 9 (09:42):
Like where we have now, Like I have to B
and I have Netflix, and I have Hulu, and I
should I keep cable or should I not? Because anything
I get rid of, I get boxed out of.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Just that one thing I wanted to watch that happened
to me for a while, and I think I acquiesced
the I I'm pretty sure I have everything now, Like
I have Hulu, but I don't know if I need
it anymore. That's the one I might dump. And I
liked it for a while. But I have Netflix, and
I have Prime, and I have HBO Max. What else
do you need? But you have cable too, I do

(10:16):
because I got to watch the sports that you know
what I mean, that aren't on Amazon Prime or whatever.
HBO Max has some occasionally too, and you know, I
gotta watch the Penguins games. And I heard that sports
Net app is not that great, so I haven't. I'm
barely using it.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, so you're paying for it.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I am, but I do use my cable through the app.
I don't use the box anymore. So it feels like
I cut the cord. But I'm still paying like three
hundred dollars a month, which I don't. I really need
to fix that. And every time I try to get
somebody on the phone, it's impossible.

Speaker 11 (10:50):
Do you ever try to.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Get someone on the phone at your cable company? No,
I'll die before I know that.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
They don't have anybody. Yeah, nobody will answer.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
They're like, have you thought about going online and talking
to where aich bought? So here's what I gotta tell you.
This is what's happening in my cable box right now, because.

Speaker 9 (11:06):
I don't understand it's all happening inside the box.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, there's just a group of people. If I set
a recording for something, all right, I'll go in and
I'll look at the recordings and it'll be like, here
are all of the things that you've recorded, and it's recent,
and it's a bunch of stuff that I have not recorded.
Deal or no Deal? What Dancing with the Stars, the
Christmas edition, all of this stuff, Like every just crappy

(11:34):
reality show or game show gets recorded onto my library
in my Comcast account, and I keep hitting them up
and being like, hey, can somebody just am I getting
scammed here? Or is somebody hacked me? And I can't
get anybody on the line to talk to me about it.

(11:54):
I'm not even kidding. I have tried. They keep like
they're like giving vocal prompts. You're like, okay, well let's
try this again. Are you saying that you're having a
problem with internet, cable phone? Let us know which one
we can help you with. And you're like cable, all right,

(12:15):
you said you have a problem with cable. I don't
know why. They say it's sexy. But then I'm like,
if I ever going to talk to an operator, No,
it never happens, and I'll delete them and I'll go
in under the TV show and be like delete series,
like don't ever put this crap in my library again,

(12:35):
And it always fills up with the app and it's
specifically terrible television.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Oh yeah, it's like somebody's e fin with me, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's the stuff I would never watch in a million years,
like Real Housewives, like the Easter special, you know what
I mean. Like, I don't they have one. Is it
because they're trying to pump up the numbers.

Speaker 6 (12:58):
I don't know, or it's like a come on, like
they're like, if Randy just sees it, he's gonna give
it a shot.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
That might be he's always wanted to dealer.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
No deal Island Joe Baganello Pittsburgh guy.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Oh well is he doing that?

Speaker 12 (13:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Wait, it was the Howie mandel One. It was the
Howie mandel One. Yeah, okay, class Because it was a
Joe One, I would have been glad, yeah, give it
a shot. Me wrong, I would have been like to
your point about not being able to speak to a person.
A couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
This woman that I know who walks her dogs like
you know, we're like dog walking friends.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Do you know her name?

Speaker 11 (13:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Her name is Michelle? Okay, because you know, in a
dog park you wouldn't know her name, right, you only
know the dog's name in the neighborhood. Oy, Michelle, how's
it going? Look, there's Coco. I don't want to know
your name. Your Coco's parent? Hi, Coco Mama, which she loves.
Don't talk to me like the dog. Sorry, sorry, give

(13:54):
her a treat and move on.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
So she was She's 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. It's a little half Michelle is enjoying

(14:18):
a customer service experience unlike any other.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
You're hoping that's the case.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, because she just real person.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I mean, it could be just a psychological breakdown on
the sidewalks, but no, I'm sure Michelle has it all
together and we've all been there.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Real person the thing you have to do.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's why I appreciate that our bosses have saw fit
to make sure that you, the radio listener, know that
you're listening to real people by putting a little sounder.
I don't know if you guys have heard this yet.
iHeartRadio guaranteed human. It's like a weird way to say no, AI,

(14:59):
Like they won't you.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
They got to go the other way around.

Speaker 9 (15:01):
Yeah, it's nice, and they want us to add it
to our email signature. I think I sort of read
an email yesterday that said that too, which is nice.
It's kind of like an existential reminder for me too.
When I think I can't feel anything, I hear that
little sounder and I go, I am here, but I want.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Him to just put him put a little like something
tailing after that. Guaranteed human. If you prick them, they bleed,
they will scream if you don't feed the.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, guaranteed humans.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Seems a little dystopian that we're likes fog hat. Well,
that's how I say, I've been here so long. If
you would have told me like i'd be working at
a radio station this long playing fog Hat, I'd be like,
people still listen to fog Hat twenty five years from now.
When I first started, I thought we were almost done

(15:58):
with fog Hat. No, nope, we have only scratched the
surface as long as we have a heartbeat.

Speaker 11 (16:04):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Guaranteed human and fog Hat.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I like that. Guaranteed your teeth, fog Hat. Just do
that guaranteed fog hat. Well, people already know that about DVE.
Guaranteed fog At. Well, yeah, it's DV. We know, we
know it's coming. That's why we listen.

Speaker 9 (16:27):
I'm gonna slip that into my email signure if I
get caught. All right, this past Friday. Oh, actually, I
don't know how much time we'll get to spend on
this one.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I don't know. Do I want to start a new story,
all right?

Speaker 9 (16:43):
Is that Friday, President Trump did announce that to him,
soccer is the real football and that American football needs
to change to something else. He said, we have a
bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football.
But when you think about it, this soccer is football,
There's no question about it. We have to come up
with an another name for the NFL stuff. It doesn't
make sense when you think about it. So he stopped

(17:05):
short of saying that he would force the NFL to
change the name. But naturally, they got people talking about
some new names for the sport.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
So there were some suggestions online.

Speaker 9 (17:14):
Some of them are innoculous, some of them were spell
but one of them was to start calling it grid iron.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
I actually don't hate that sounds so tough. It was
kind of the most popular response. It technically is why
are we entertaining this insane notion? The first I don't know,
the National grid Iron League guaranteed, human guaranteed, stupid pig

(17:43):
skin was another one.

Speaker 9 (17:45):
That's not gonna that, that's that actually sounds like you'd
get an infection.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
She's a lovely girl, but she has big skin.

Speaker 9 (17:54):
You can buy stuff at the four to get rid
of the big skin. Tackle football or American football.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
You can tackle in soccer too, though, oh you can't. Well, yeah,
you slide. This one was kind of a joke. DraftKings
Ball love it.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, it's all for sale. I've got one Dome Scramblers
for a team.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, like the Boston Dome Scramblers. Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 9 (18:25):
I like it too, uh hand egg or egg ball?

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, look, if you're playing eggball at traffic lights, you're
part of the problem, okay, because you should be paying
attention and I'm honking the horn behind you and you're
just up there playing eggball listening to Gordon amera Ball.

(18:52):
I mean, come on, if yeah or trump ball. That
one's tongue in cheek.

Speaker 9 (18:58):
But if he was serious about it, I would feel
like he'd put his name on it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yes, brain slam. It's like ct.

Speaker 6 (19:18):
They need to start leading, yeah, they we need to
start leaning into the things that we like about football
without pretending to be ashamed of them.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I like that. Yeah, why not? Other names that were
a little silly don't scrambler would be brain scramblers. Yes, yeah,
there you go. I like that simple.

Speaker 9 (19:38):
Kickball, Millionaire fight Club, Uh foots.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'm into has like a German kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Today. And yardball actually yard ball maybe the best of
the bunch. Like yard ball, but yardball, I'm gonna says baseball,
it's the ballyard. Grid Iron is the one that probably
comes closest to the whole esthetic that the NFL shoots were,

(20:09):
or that the sport in general shoots were. High school Gridirn.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
I'm John Fedco guaranteed bought.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm John Fedco, part of the singularity Cloudy. I have
thirty four today currently sixteen years What happened? He retired,
but he's he does like social media, seeing the stuff
on social media, which I mean as I remember being
a kid and getting real pumped for the fed COO zone,
like so excited. The music would kind of have like

(20:42):
some kind of Pavlovian effect. Oh yeah, it's pretty cool.
But you know he used those words in different situations.
You just entered the fed Co zone door locking sound.

Speaker 13 (20:58):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
No, no, we're not insinuating that he might have like
mass murdered people or anything. Like that. No. No, he
was a great reporter for a long time who highlighted
high school sports in an area of the country that revers.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
It's it's high school football.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
And he did for hoops too, didn't he. I don't.
I just kind of remember football all the times. The
biggest skylights. Skylights was great and we love Norway High School.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
The establishing shots of like the the team made like
huge signs written on paper, like team would run through them,
go nights.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. It was and him and
DeNardo figured something out that most people in that profession
have to eventually come around to, which is that they
don't pay you enough and you have to if you
want cake, you're gonna have to become sort of iconic
to kids or workplaces so that you go and there.
Every time you show up somewhere there's food. So you're like, hey,

(21:56):
we're gonna go visit so and so today and then
there's just a buffet for you and get to go
over and yeah, there's always food. I think that's smart.
We had that going on for a while here. It
was great. Yeah, they used to bring us food. Not anymore,
not as much, No, because there was like an issue
with corporate over Maybe we were being I don't know,

(22:20):
like if you wanted to bring in food, you had
to spend money for us to talk about to the
point where you know I was making earlier. We were like,
but they're feeding us, Like, isn't that enough? I remember
the food times. The food times are over here. You
were here with the food times, but at the old
building when I mean tons of food all the time.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
Yeah, yeah, no, take a lap on the third floor,
maybe see what's out there.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
That's right. All food times are pretty much over around here.
Not not entirely, it's just not what it used to be. Abby.
I feel like.

Speaker 9 (22:50):
Though we could f around and find out if somebody
wanted to drop off food.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
I mean, what would happen. We'd get poisoned. That's stiff. Yeah, different.
Mike's got your sports when we come back. Pretty dandy
Monday night football game there John Harbaugh crying about the
rest and he did get them to admit they screwed
up on the field goal.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
The NFL said, yep, that was our bad.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
That shouldn't have been unnecessary roughness, that should only been
three points instead of the Steelers capitalizing and getting seven.
That would have changed the whole game, no doubt. It's
not just the final score, and it's like, well, the
Steelers won by five point, would have been a lot
different then because they could have kicked the field goal
and gone ahead at one point and maybe they don't
exhaust four downs there not getting into the end zone.

(23:37):
I watched that play with Mark Andrews knocking the ball
away like one hundred times yesterday just to find out,
like just to try and see in real time, would
DeAndre Hopkins have caught that ball, And I'm not so
sure he would have. I actually kind of I'm starting
to think that maybe Joey Porter Junior actually steps in
front of that one. So as much as I thought

(23:58):
that was a touchdown screwed up Andrews, he might have
been the only shot they had to score there. Oh
he's still screwed it up. It just showed the lack
of communication. It just, if anything, well, I think.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Communications one issue that they had there.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
But like Lamar was just not throwing the ball with
any arc the whole day, and it was evident on
the James Pierre interception in which he just threw it
right at James Pierre trying to throw it like past
him and that's his cousin. Did you know that James
Pierre is Lamar's cousin. Really?

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah, get intercepted by his cousin.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Wow, pretty pretty cool. Yeah, but things are not so
cool in Baltimore and that makes me glad. The Steelers
have to steal themselves from Monday night football against the
Miami Dolphins coming into Akrosher Stadium. That is an eight
point fifteen kickoff here on your radio, home of the
Black and Gold DV.

Speaker 14 (24:49):
And wherever you go or whatever you're doing, you're never
too far from your hometown station.

Speaker 2 (24:55):

Mike Christina's got your sports right now on the DV
morning show Mike.

Speaker 16 (25:14):
Sports is Up, brought to you by Bridgeville Appliance. Tough
night for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles at so Far
Stadium last night, Chargers beat the Eagles twenty two to
nineteen in overtime. Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five
times four picks in a fumble, including a pick on
which the Chargers subsequently fumbled it back. Hurtz recovered it

(25:38):
and fumbled it back to the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
That's hilarious. Two turnovers on the same play. So let
me ask you this, if in overtime he throws a
pick to end it, right, did I I'm not they
kicked a field goal? Did he throw a pick to
end it? Was that time? I'm pretty sure he threw
a pick to edit or yeah, because they scored. They
kicked a field goal on their first possess and at

(26:01):
not a touchdown, so Philly got the ball back. And
then Jalen Hurts through the pick through a pick, but
the cornerback from the Chargers tried to return the pick
instead of just kneeling and ending the game. If he
gets hit and fumbles there and the Eagles get it back,

(26:21):
I think they have to run it in. Yes, that's
what I was gonna ask you. I think yeah, because
they already had one possession. I don't think they get
a second, and they don't get that get another Okay,
I think yeah. I think I think you're right about that.
It is funny, though the Eagles are a mess by
the way, three for three on the three and out
on Thursday, including picking the Chargers last night. Nice job

(26:43):
Eagles to get sa Kwon Barkley going.

Speaker 16 (26:45):
Finally, twenty carries for Buck twenty two, including a fifty
two yard touchdown run on a fake toush push and
they got him around the end. See Andrews, Mark Andrews,
And who is that the Kenny Gangwell for you, Well,
people are starting to vary that theme.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Well that's the only way.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
I don't know. It's not going to survive this year.
I hope not that. I never say never. With the NFL,
they can't officiate it. It's got to go away.

Speaker 16 (27:17):
The Chargers win is not great news for the Steelers
if you're wondering, can they sneak in as a wildcard
somehow if they don't win the division. The first two
wildcards right now are the Chargers and the Bills, who
are both nine and four and have had to head
victories over the Steelers. Pittsburgh currently at seven and six,
and Houston is the third wild card at eight and five.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Houston looks really good all of a sudden, defensively, Yeah,
but I mean the d is that good?

Speaker 17 (27:47):
You know?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
That might that might be enough.

Speaker 16 (27:50):
Meanwhile, down in Baltimore, John Harball whining about the officiating.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
What else is he gonna do?

Speaker 3 (27:57):
As much of a Choice.

Speaker 16 (27:59):
Ravens website detailing the Ravens reaction to their loss to
the Steelers yesterday in the three calls that everybody has
been talking about ever since, conference call with Harbaugh and
general manager Eric DaCosta, as well as former NFL referee
Tony Michaehlik, who the Ravens hired this offseason to kind
of be an in house rules analyst. They spoke with

(28:22):
Perry Fuel, the NFL Senior vice president of Officiating Administration, and
Walt Anderson, who used to have that job and is
now a communications lead is on with the NFL.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
According to Harbaugh, the.

Speaker 16 (28:36):
Unnecessary roughness on the Chris Boswell field goal was quote
the wrong call. It should not have been called, And
Harbaugh made sure to add that the league allowed him
to disclose that, you know, you can always stop them.
It's not like they get an automatic touchdown when they
take the fieldball off the board.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
In fact, it happens so often that there's a lot
of people don't take points off the board. Yeah, there
is a that's the thing tried and true adage. I'll
take points off the tail points off the board, So
there is that.

Speaker 16 (29:11):
Harpall also wanted an explanation on the Isaiah likely non
touchdown and the Aaron Rodgers catch of his own batted pass.
He said, quote it's about as clear as mud right now,
and he's not quote comfortable with those explanations. In other words,
they probably told him those were the right calls. This
genet sterret or told the nation during the game and
then us again in great detail yesterday.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yes, you can hate the rule. I hate the rule.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
I hate yeah, everybody.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
It was officiated correctly. It is not controversial. I don't
think at this point anybody who's being honest is actually
questioning the call so much as they're bitching about the rule.
And one way to look at it too, with the
Isaiah likely touchdown if before he gets that or no
touchdown before he gets that third step, the ball comes loose.

(30:00):
If that were at the fifty yard line, what would
they call that a fumble or an incomplete pass? I
imagine it would be no catch, no catch, and Ravens
fans would be a okay with that, especially if the
steels recovered exactly, so I don't know.

Speaker 16 (30:20):
In that case, you're allowed to score on subsequent snaps.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yes, And the Aaron Rodgers one we learned yesterday because
I was a little skeptical about that one. But the
tie goes to the offense. So even if he's battling
a guy for the ball there, he's got his hand
in there and they had it first and he's on
the ground and touchdown offense CASA game. So that's the
rule that he kept saying. He has to survive the ground.

(30:45):
He does not interpretation.

Speaker 16 (30:47):
Was it possessed or was it bouncing around between bodies right,
which would be an entirely different conversation because then if
the guy catches it before it hits the ground, it's
their ball, right, That's not how they saw it. Hardball
also had a little accountability going on. Remember the play
before Lamar Jackson missed Derek Andrews or Mark Andrews. Excuse me,

(31:14):
was that actually intended for Andrews or was supposed to
go to Hopkins. Dereck Henry lost three yards on third
and two, and hartwas said they were in the wrong formation,
they had a communication issue and he should have called timeout.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
He thought they'd be okay, they'd get away with it.
I guess he had that little respect for the Steelers
run fifth. We're all screwed up here, But just give
it to Henry anyway. I don't waste the time out.
That three yard loss was significant. I think high Smith
made that playde many he made. And Harball also said
that likely is not coached to catch the ball the

(31:48):
way he caught. He didn't say what he should have
done instead, But he's not supposed to keep holding it
out because there were a lot of people online saying
that he did textbook what you're supposed to do there,
keep it away from the defender.

Speaker 16 (31:59):
And if he brings it in, that's the football move exactly.
Then that takes the third foot out of it. But
also if he brings it in, he's got to maintain possession.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Which he might not because Joey's hand was.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
There, and which this guy's got a pretty good history.

Speaker 16 (32:11):
Now he's building quite a resume of not finishing touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
He hates the end zone.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I mean, if you got the under I say, it
likely is your guy. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:19):
I think when they showed him on the sideline after
that play, he did not look confident at all.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
That would be rule a touchdown.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
I think he looked like harves are likely likely and
he looked immediately it could be that he was a
snake bit from all the time out the side.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah boy he uh most of all looked like it
was not going to be held up. Yeah, you have to,
you have to some confidence and fake it. I always
believe that. It's like the they called the Ravens. Every
time there was an incomplete pass, the receiver got up
looking for a PI and I don't think we do
that enough. Whining works, Yeah, it works in the NFL.

(32:56):
It's a bad look, but it works because these guys
had no idea what's going on, and they're like, oh,
was it?

Speaker 16 (33:01):
Well, there you go, you know, as long as we're
going to dissect every call like it's this a Bruner film.
There was also what I thought was an obvious defensive
pass interference.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
On Marlon Humphrey. No, s, come on, it's Pittsburgh on
metcalf in the cour and they didn't call that, and
nobody's talking about that. I think the Steelers scored on
that anyway. Wasn't that the first Was that not the
first drive? It was not okay, I don't think i'd

(33:31):
have to look it up, but just I remember the play,
and there's a million calls in the game. Yes, the
calls are the calls. You got to work around them. Yeah,
I know, but when it happens to you, you bitch,
that's what you do. You're right, Randy in terms of
freaking out after every call, every missed call, or Mark
Andrews did it a bunch of times. You know, the
reps are human beings at least for now, and you

(33:55):
know you can appeal to there.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
And that's why, uh, you know, John Harbus on this
complain about the ref.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
We're owed one, just so everybody's aware.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
You get the next call exactly.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, I haven't thought about bot refs because you know,
Jean Sterotor is the most popular referee figure in the
NFL right now, and I could conceive of a bunch
of gen sterotor bots on the field, fleet of rope.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, I mean you've seen those exactly.

Speaker 9 (34:24):
If he's the blueprint though, and it's kind of yinser ish.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
I'm in I'm gay with that.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
The robot comes to the middlefield and says yins did
not make the line too, Gay.

I'm guaranteed human, Randy Bauman. So here's the thing. Floghet
guaranteed you nothing but fog Hat.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
FuG Hat yourself.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The uh like that a lot. They should put that
like little We should make T shirts DV guaranteed fog Hat.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Fog Hat is the best punchline band name there is.
And they're not bad, No, they're awesome. But that's what
makes it funny. It's got enough consonants. Yeah, I don't
know what it is. It fog hat, dude. People always
laugh at fog At telling you right now anyways, the jokes, yeah,
it kind of yeah, it is the equivalent of that.

(37:39):
I mean there are some other ones, like if you're
going metal, the band I always use for a metal
joke is Crocus because there's two k's in some hard
K comedy sounds.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Crocus Crocus.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
I mean Tino Martino back in the days of Mulletok.
That was his favorite bandic croakish. Yeah, it's just like
that's a stupid band to be way into. Tino Martino,
well he became un ironically like it's they are mullets.
Aers celebrated his his work is done. You know he
did it. That's right, he did it. Now Cole Holcomb

(38:14):
is wearing them. Well he doesn't have it this year,
but you know those people rock and mullets all the
time now on ironically it is no longer a he
discriminated against hairstyle. Maybe Tino could interview col what happened?
Why did you cut it off? Why are you afraid

(38:36):
of the power of the milot? So here's the thing
without rehashing twenty year old bits here on DV, which
boy I would like to you know, the Reck of
the Edmund Fitzgerald Anniversary. Took everything in my power to
not play Firebirds and Camaros.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
Tino's ode based on that song.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
And had I been as into the Wreck of EDMUNDS
Fitzgerald as I ended up being, I would have never
wrote that song because it's disrespectful to the twenty nine
men and Gordon Lightfoot.

Speaker 9 (39:01):
And it's important to know because don't forget they ring
the bell for Gordon life.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
But right now to twenty nine times and then one
time for Gordo.

Speaker 16 (39:11):
Because they died and he made a career out of it.
So that's pretty respectful.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
The other thing I like about it is he wrote
one like the one lyric in there and he's like,
you know, the the hatch came out, and then the
cook came back on the ship, his fellow, it's been
good to know you. And then the mom or the
wife of the guy who's in charge of the hatches
like hey hey, hey, hey, hey, you're blaming Charlie. It
wasn't his fault that He's like, oh, you're right, I'm
so sorry, And every time he sang it thereafter he

(39:38):
changed that lyric. The hatch was totally good. Nothing happened
with the hatch, but the ships take anyway. I'll tell
you who is not responsible.

Speaker 13 (39:55):
Stuff happens, Yeah, stuff happens on the turns out the
lake is a dangerous place and nothing could be done
about it.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
So the miss Tackle.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Segment that I'm failing to get to here, this is
where some of the stories that don't get sponsored. Oh
that's right, exactly, Like why don't they sponsor the miss
tackles segment. Oh we don't even get to it to
you by Shipbuilders Local. Here's the three or five. One
of the stories we didn't get to. Patrick Mahomes seems

(40:29):
to be wishing Travis Kelcey a good luck in his retirement.

Speaker 5 (40:34):
I mean every season I've I've had with him these
last few years, I try to cherish because you know,
you never know, he got himself in great shape this year,
and he's played great football, and he'll have the option
to do whatever he wants to do after the season.
But I know one thing is he'll give everything he
has the rest of the season to try to give

(40:54):
us a chance to make a playoff run. We know
the chances are getting lower and lower, but I know
the guys on this team are gonna give everything to
have every opportunity to get.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
That sounds to me kind of like he's like, hey,
you know he's marrying a billionaire guys, he does not
need to get hit in the head over and over
again and work out all year long. Plus when I throw.

Speaker 16 (41:15):
Them the ball in a critical situation, he just juggles
it until the.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Other guys end up with it. Can I get a
damn interception? For it. Travis is like, Patty, I want
to keep playing, and He's like, no, no, you know,
good luck in your next life. Hell of a run.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
You never know, this could be it for you.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
What I am me? So, speaking of Mahomes, Chris Collinsworth
set a new standard of slurping on the Sunday Night Game.
Can't help himself, Kenny, Patrick Mahomes, I need to set
the scene for you. Is not on the field when
you hear this next SoundBite. The Houston offense is on
the field and he's reacting to a pass thrown not

(41:56):
by Patrick Mahomes but by the other quarterback who's actually
in the game throwing passes. Patrick Mahomes when you hear
this clip is on the bench with a huge coat
over him, trying to stay warm.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
The Texans complete a pass, and here.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
Is Chris Collinsworth's reaction, because the camera shows Patrick Mahomes
warming up on the bench.

Speaker 12 (42:18):
There he is, Patrick Mahomes. You've been through it all, right,
you've seen it all. He probably took a look at
that grow from C. J. Stroud and said, all right,
I've got one of those in me tonight.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
I mean, are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (42:30):
He and It wasn't even a good pass. It was
a little checkdown that got deflected by a defender and
the ball kind of went end over end and the
guy caught it. Anyway. Yeah, I got one of those
in me tonight, I hope. So the lengths that he
goes to, it's absurd also to service his whole PFF business.
It's like a little it feels uh slimy. Yeah, like

(42:53):
they're just too in bed with that.

Speaker 16 (42:54):
Blatantly obvious that they're just following their own agenda for
their own sake.

Speaker 18 (42:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Yeah, that's what it feels like. By the way, I
will applaud the NFL for making the uprights for doinks,
so we get premium Doyke soundage and nothing more satisfying
than a good doink. Here was noted doink Harrison, Butker
doinking his own doink. My. I mean this sound on

(43:28):
that it's really satisfying. I don't know why, but well,
can you do this one more time, just real quick?
I just want to hear it.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Why is that so satisfying?

Speaker 7 (43:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
I only make sandwiches for men when they do the
upright uh Keishawn Nixon from the past, I don't know
frowned upon him. Keishawn Nixon uh after he intercept Caleb
Wilson to Williams to end the game against the Bears.

(44:03):
For the Packers, he's interviewed in the locker room, and
you know, you expect him to be like, hey, hard
fought game, the two of us or the you know,
the the offense and the defense.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
We came together.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
No, no, he is all for one and all for one.

Speaker 7 (44:18):
Okay, I do my language, but you know, I am
who I say am. I always tell myself that, and
I'll come on the field and play like that.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
But I just a player.

Speaker 7 (44:28):
I gotta keep megan on.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
I do this for me. I do this for me. Hey,
if he makes those plays, I don't care if you
If you're selfish and you're ending the game, I'm alright
with it. Sometimes you gotta dig deep and just do
it for yourself, for.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
Your own bottom line, your own contract implications.

Speaker 16 (44:47):
Yeah, there was Also it didn't work for this segment
because it's not really audio, it's.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
More of a visual.

Speaker 16 (44:51):
But the Bears actually tried to do a Lambeau leap
in Green Bay and the fans fluck fuck back.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah, I would never do that. Wouldn't let jump up
on the legs, you know they do that.

Speaker 16 (45:02):
They're like they're pushing these drunk cheesy and Green Bay people.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
They're pushing them first out cheesy. It was tremendous.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
I mean that to me though, that whole like, I
do it for me.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
It would be like if Fernando Mendoza after the Big
Ten Championship was just like, oh, glory goes to me.
I did it all myself. Oh thank god I did
this because God wasn't gonna do it. These a holes
weren't going to do anything.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
It's all on me.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
It's they gone for me. You're looking at the number
one overall pick and that's this guy, right, yeah, exactly.
I didn't realize Jacob, that your quarterback did that a
year ago for Cal He gave basically the.

Speaker 19 (45:44):
Same one to nothing at Stanford. Incredible comeback.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
I mean Stanford, I'm the one who did it. He's
done it all year after a game.

Speaker 19 (45:53):
He did it at Penn State, he did it at
Oregon big our biggest wins besides the Big Ten Championship game.
He's just a goofball.

Speaker 16 (46:00):
You could tell Jake's all in because he has researched
the interviews of his trance for a portal quarterback at
his previous school.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah, because he's so invested in this guy, he's playing
eleven games for him. Yeah, Abby's got your news.

Speaker 9 (46:15):
Next update on the beach ball concert trolling story we.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Talked about, Yes, how many?

Speaker 3 (46:20):
How many games? Twelve?

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Thirteen? That's right, twelve in the regular season thirteen And oh, hey,
you earned the right to glote buddy. You did it yourself,
all you? Charlie Batch, Jerry, do you like Billy Gardelle?
On the way DV.

Speaker 20 (46:36):
It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought
to you by Callie Ante Pizza and Draft Holes, three
time World Pizza champions, and Steelers Pro Shop. Get it
direct from the team at shop dot Steelers dot com.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 21 (46:49):
Steelers took over first place in the anc Nors Sunday,
defeating the Ravens twenty seven to twenty two in Baltimore
in a game that the Steelers were outgained and out possessed,
but came up with more plays.

Speaker 7 (46:57):
In the big moments to escape Maryland with a win.

Speaker 21 (47:00):
A couple of those big moments came on the defensive
side of the ball and were authored by cornerback James Pierre,
linebacker Patrick Queen, and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith. James Pierre,
who has been a pleasant surprise for the Steelers this
year at corner, made an impressive one handed interception of
Lamar Jackson in the first half for the game's only turnover,
which the Steelers would convert into three points. Patrick Queen
came up with a huge pass breakup on tight end

(47:21):
Mark Andrews on fourth down with the Ravens at the
Steelers goal line threatening to take the lead late in
the fourth quarter, and he also chipped in seven tackles
while clearly playing through an injury.

Speaker 7 (47:30):
But Alex Heigsmith was perhaps.

Speaker 21 (47:31):
The man of the match for the Steelers on defense,
having seven tackles, three tackles for lost, two quarterback hits,
and the walk off sack of Lamar Jackson to steal
the victory for Pittsburgh. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows
for the Steelers defense, though, as they surrendered over two
hundred yards rushing for the second straight week, and seeing
as the Steelers next opponent, the Miami Dolphins, just ran
for two hundred and thirty nine yards this past Sunday,

(47:51):
and that's something the Steelers need to improve. And in
a hurry, I'm Tom Upraman with the Steelers report.

Speaker 22 (47:58):
Great googly move, This one's got hard. Rob King here
for Calli Anti Pizza and Draft House. Try Kali Anti's
knew Wolfly.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Seventy guaranteed human.

Speaker 6 (48:09):
To your point about not being able to speak to
a person. A couple of weeks ago, this woman that
I know who walks her dogs like you know, we're
like dog walking friends.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Do you know her name?

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Yeah? Her name is Michelle. Okay, because you know, in
a dog park you wouldn't know her name, right, you
only know the dog's name. In the neighborhood. Hey, Michelle,
how's it going.

Speaker 8 (48:28):
Look?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
And there's Coco.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I want to know your name? Your Coco's parent?

Speaker 9 (48:33):
Hi, Coco Mama, which she loves.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
She don't talk to me like the dog. Oh sorry, sorry,
give her a treat and move on.

Speaker 6 (48:41):
So she was she's 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 2 (48:59):
Frendyman and the DVE Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Everybody Tad whistles with us.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Yeah, that is the most annoying thing in the world,
just feutally screaming at your phone at a computer operator
operator patch me through. I just hit zeros. No, you
used to be able to do that. They're onto it now.
That was the hack.

Speaker 6 (49:25):
Yeah, yeah, I never even I feel like such an idiot.

Speaker 9 (49:28):
We used 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 2 (49:38):
Yes, what if you scream zero in your phone over.

Speaker 9 (49:44):
Zero?

Speaker 3 (49:45):
Yeah, that's what they've reduced us to.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
But there's no customer service anywhere, and when you do
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 is you know, Look,
let's if we're gonna have a good relationship here, I
need to know your real name. I can't start with
a lie.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
I always ask.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Him that and they're like, no, I'm it's d I'm Frank.
You know you're not you're not Sam. Not Sam. 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,

(50:25):
but they don't care. So many they're following guidelines and
they're just reading off the thing, and they are many,
many time zones away from you. If you 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

(50:46):
need something fixed with your cable box, Well you better
bring that in.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
We're not coming to you.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
You get it. Most times you have to bring it in. Occasionally,
when it's like a real serious situation, they'll they'll send
somebody out, they charge you through the nose, and then
they climb up the telephone pole and then fix the thing.

Speaker 9 (51:03):
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.

Speaker 18 (51:11):
That for me?

Speaker 11 (51:11):
Real quick?

Speaker 9 (51:12):
Just why you're here. Can you make sure that it
stops recording Dancing with the stars.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
You've just got in the fedcoat zone. They just locked
the door. Come out of dressed like John Doudcom fake mustache.
That Hill's high School. We love your big reds, suspenders
on and everything. Fix the cable. Oh, I'm gonna do
NonStop highlights at you. Abby's got your news right now.
What's going on?

Speaker 11 (51:35):
News?

Speaker 9 (51:35):
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 2 (51:49):
Dipping down into the teens, dipping down into the empty.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
All right.

Speaker 9 (51:56):
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 during the band set at
Good Things Festival in Melbourne. This was in Australia at
Garbage's next show.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
On Sunday, Brisbane.

Speaker 9 (52:16):
Let them know how they felt about that rant and
made sure that there was a plethora of beach This is.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
A hilarious troll by the Australians who rightly reacted to
Shirley Manson. Who I like it, you know, she's great.
I don't like her, don't get me wrong, but her
outrage at a beach ball at a concert was one
of the most disproportionate responses I've ever seen at a

(52:43):
live show. And so for the Aussies to go, all right,
the next show that she does is just full of
beach balls. That is hilarious and she should have just gone,
well done, well done, dropping steered into this kid and
drop it. But no, that is not what she did. Nope.

Speaker 9 (53:05):
She then pointed out that the incident drew more headlines
than the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. Uh 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

(53:26):
the world.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
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, 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 ossies around together, well
that's not right, you know, like they're like, you know,
like I can't do the accident.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
But they were like, we're all here, have a good
I mean, she.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Was criticizing his manhood. Everyone.

Speaker 9 (53:55):
I want to have my crew come and beat you drop,
but I'm a lady and I will don't want to
tell everybody to punch you.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
And you can just hear all these people, all these
offices in the crowd are like, well that's a bit much.

Speaker 6 (54:08):
Even Shooter McGavin didn't go that hard. This isn't a
rock concert.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
This is a rock concert, right, So it is hilarious
that they showed up in beach balder and guess what
she might get beach bald every where she goes from
now on.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
They don't have a lot of show left. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (54:25):
I feel so torn on this because in so many
ways I would never tell any woman that she is
not entitled to her anger whenever it comes out and
wherever it goes. But on this one, I think Shirley
Manson needs to stop because I know she's not angry
about the beach ball.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
I'm a woman.

Speaker 9 (54:46):
When a woman explodes about the dishes, guys, the cheap code,
it's not about the dishes.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
It was never about the dishes. She doesn't hate beach balls,
you guys. I know that 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 9 (55:15):
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, God damn, 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. And he's like,
I'll tell you what, if you have not got your

(55:37):
business settled with your lady by the time you hit
perimenopause or menopause, it's over because she's done.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
That's kind of I didn't want to go there with Suirley.
That kind of felt like, what was going on there
to 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 and

(56:10):
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 6 (56:23):
And right now there are thousands of Australians at home,
you know, Amazon and beach balls to themselves.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
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. And uh
guaranteed major beach ball.

Speaker 9 (56:43):
Guaranteed beach ball, all activities happening all right. 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 2 (56:56):
Is paramount by it. Yeah, unfortunately makes sense out over Netflix,
but there.

Speaker 9 (57:02):
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.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
And we actually have a lot of Denny's. I feel
like here in 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. You know, they got good griddles.

(57:39):
It was that good gret look at everything. Their burgers
are good. Remember when they started doing burgers. 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 3 (57:51):
But when they did try to do the burgers, they
were good.

Speaker 9 (57:55):
That was always a good compromise breakfast place because they
had a little little bit of everything.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
Well. They also used to be open all the time
late and that that was part of the appeal, like
you can drive us up there. Eaton Park was the
same thing, like that Eating 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

(58:23):
post COVID, 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, no longer
twenty four hours.

Speaker 6 (58:33):
Oh yeah, nothing like going to Ridders, you know, pretty
drone 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 well in intensive care. For sure,

(58:59):
you're in a fragile state. 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.

(59:19):
I got you, Deb, I'm on your side.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
You are my waitress, and I will die for you tonight.
I'll then you, Deb. I feel like Joe Long has
stole the name Debbie. You can't every time I say
deb now trademarked. Yeah, I think he trademarked it. That's
a guy who always makes me laugh too. I mean
he's hilarious, but he really nailed the Pittsburgh name. Debb

(59:41):
one syllable. It's perfect. It's a perfect Chicks name. But Raiders,
I always got the fried green tomatoes there. That was
always like, because you could. Yeah, they don't have 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 are you getting this? On principle alone,
we must right give it a shot.

Speaker 6 (01:00:01):
I mean, if yeah, fried grant tomatoes, if if you
know housemaid are uh can 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, hun, and he's like.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Oh the veal. We all stop.

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
We look at him. I'm like, what are you doing.
He's like, give it a shot. I'm pretty hungry. So
it comes back, you know, like he eats the veal.
I'm like, how was it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
He's like, not that good. I'm like, it's on you,
It's on you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
I was expecting more.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
From the veal at Ritters two, I am veal was
like veal parmesan.

Speaker 11 (01:00:47):
I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
I thought, was it like a scallapenie, like, because preparation matters.

Speaker 6 (01:00:51):
Gravy, 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 2 (01:01:04):
Right, it's gonna know. Nobody will know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
But I do miss that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
The truth is I miss being able to eat that
late and not having an affect me for three days.
I eight at three o'clock in the morning on Friday.
That takes till Monday. You gotta make a lot of decisions, Abby.
The domino effect of that changes my lunch and dinner
for two days. You're et laying in the creek for
two days. Just why I had to have the veal acout?

(01:01:41):
So now, what's wrong with Denny's, Like, like, is it
just closing up shop all over the place.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Are they going to stay open?

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
But I mean the CEO.

Speaker 9 (01:01:49):
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 some plan to kind
of get back here. But for now, I'm I mean,
you should expect a lot of closures before I mean,
really January here.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
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. I would
think so too.

Speaker 9 (01:02:20):
And it is so odd that I think 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 3 (01:02:38):
You know it would be cool.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Here's an idea abby to 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.

Speaker 9 (01:03:00):
Hours something like that. Guys like just talk shop and
smack you around.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
Well, yeah, you know, they won't listen to anything you
have to say.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
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. You're
not 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 the time you're done with
that soup. But he used to be able to smoke

(01:03:32):
in here. Now that was a different time.

Speaker 6 (01:03:35):
Like when you as as the person listening, you know,
it's like as soon as someone says now, that was
a different time, it's like, oh, this is going forty minutes.

Speaker 9 (01:03:44):
Yeah, you know, we used to never get sick because
we didn't go to the doctor.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Well, I don't know. 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 love them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
Also, I don't go to them enough.

Speaker 9 (01:04:00):
I never All I want to do is be able
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 2 (01:04:13):
And also I'm not gonna go and get that. 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 RB say
what I think it says? And I look over and
it says closed for remodeling. She's like, what are they doing?

(01:04:35):
And I'm like, oh, they're gressing it ups you.

Speaker 6 (01:04:41):
Wait, I hope you like minimalist modern design, because that's
what Arby's is gonna be.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Like ship lap with your beef and cheddar.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
That's probably the design they'll they'll like put another like uh,
like beef and sauce will be the.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
New name of the place.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Oh, oh, you're gonna go to beef and Sauce and
the five for five. Have you seen those fried steak
tips they have by the way, Yes, I dare you?
Have you tried them?

Speaker 8 (01:05:08):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:05:09):
The guy who works behind the counter at the gym
had a small container of them and he was real pumped.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
But I couldn't stick around again. I'll see him today.
I'll ask him. I'll be like, hey, how were.

Speaker 23 (01:05:21):
Those Yeah, He's going to tell you, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Those duds trying to crank all that extra protein in
all the time. Just the tips.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
How did they not use that as a slogan?

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
RBS tis all right, Mike's got your sports when we
come back. Jerry Doulac talking Steelers a little bit later
on this morning, Charlie Batch seven forty five and Billy
Guardell live from Los Angeles.

This report is sponsored by Matthews Wall Anchor and Waterproofing.
It's got to be cloudy today. Look for a high
of thirty eight.

Speaker 24 (01:06:14):
Expect a wintry mixed tonight, a mix of snow and
rain dropping down to an overnight low of thirty four.

Speaker 7 (01:06:19):
This said Bud Norton with Matthews Wall Anchor and water
Perofing service.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
If you have a swampy r here to Ramitt. Mike
pursued it with your sports right now on the DVE
Morning Show. Always like Fred Dryer. What didn't he play
Easter Hunter? Yes, and he was on Cheers. He played
the sportscaster guy. He was like the Fedco guy on

(01:06:43):
Cheers very much. So, Yes, it's a great comparison again. Yeah,
we had a lot of Fedco talk this morning.

Speaker 16 (01:06:48):
Wow, Fred Dryer, he did a lot of high school
highlights that promoted him rather than.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
The 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 at high school. Yeah,
it's just something to consider.

Speaker 16 (01:07:07):
Mike Sports as are brought to you by Bridgewall Appliance.
The Eagles started turning the ball over early last night
at so Far Stadium, and they never stopped. Jalen Hurt's
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.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
LA Is nine and four and.

Speaker 16 (01:07:31):
Big step toward the playoffs for the Chargers with that
win over the Eagles last night, who fall to eight
and five.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
I hadn't even considered that we wanted the Eagles to
win that game last night. Yeah, yeah, just gotta win
a division. 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 Colts are cooked. I mean they're talking about

(01:07:58):
breaking Philip Rivers back, forty four year old Philip Rivers,
who's going to be a grandfather.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
Philip Rivers has a son that is as old as
Riley Leonard.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
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 16 (01:08:22):
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 2 (01:08:28):
Yeah. Look, man, I mean I think Notre Dame got
you know, jobbed a little bit in terms of like,
are they you think they're better than Alabama or you not?

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Don't think they're better than Alabama.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
I don't think.

Speaker 16 (01:08:42):
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 2 (01:08:48):
I agree with you, and I hate that they're not
playing the game and absolutely don't deserve to go over Miami.

Speaker 8 (01:08:54):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
I mean, they beat him, so there you go, So.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
There you go. But they're not going to a Bowl game, no,
because just no, we don't want I don't want to.
I hate that because I love bowl culture, but the
playoffs have kind of it's over diminished it full cultures.
I know, 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

(01:09:19):
going forward they will be guaranteed a spot if they
finished within the top twelve of the final rankings. I
believe that has happened. Yeah, but no other school has
that deal. I mean, if they joined a conference, it
would solve a lot of these problems. Yes it would, okay, yes,
it would like they are in every other sport. Back
to the Bundy, I think Sae kwon Barkley.

Speaker 16 (01:09:40):
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 threw for a buck
thirty nine. He's severely compromised with that broken hand, but.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
He gutted it out.

Speaker 16 (01:09:59):
Hurts through four picks and fumbled once, including a pick,
and he fumbled 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 3 (01:10:12):
Has to have been the only time that ever happened.

Speaker 16 (01:10:14):
Interception. Chargers fumbled on the I in return, Hurts got
it back.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
Fumbled in fairness, he didn't like get it and then like,
you know, do a three stooges thing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
He just like he only had it for a second.

Speaker 16 (01:10:26):
Meanwhile, down in Baltimore, 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.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Quote. It was the wrong call. It should not have
been called, and.

Speaker 16 (01:10:43):
He added that the league permitted him to release such
information to the public as for how costly these calls
were or were not.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
The Boswell field goal accord.

Speaker 16 (01:10:54):
With 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 to three, and they scored a
touchdown on the next play, so could have stopped them.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
That was an option.

Speaker 16 (01:11:12):
In terms of the Aaron Rodgers' completion to himself, which
the Ravens thought should have been an interception, was initially
ruled an interception before it was overturned. That would have
given the Ravens the ball to Pittsburgh thirty two yard
line was six twenty six left in the game. As
it was, the Steelers had to punt. The Ravens drove
down the field and they had a first and goal

(01:11:34):
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 he scored earlier, the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:49):
Had more time to go down to the store again.

Speaker 16 (01:11:53):
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 in which
the Ravens were penalized for illegal formation. Steelers declined the

(01:12:15):
penalty to set up fourth thout. Hardblao admitted that they
saw that and just ran it anyway, and he should
have called time out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
So stop me when I get to something that absolutely
decided the game. Well, it's officials related. They're a mess though,
you know what I mean. It's it's not like they've
been a juggernaut and the rest 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

(01:12:43):
to what they look like the first five weeks against
the Steelers, 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.

Speaker 16 (01:12:58):
It's gonna have to be at least as much about
the offense the rest of the way.

Speaker 2 (01:13:02):
I know that, but at least maybe not in the secondary,
but at least from a pass rush perspective.

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
I mean, they were able to keep Rogers clean.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
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. And you watched that game.
I did to try to glean a little.

Speaker 16 (01:13:31):
Anxietasy 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, he'd be
fired today.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
They were that bad.

Speaker 16 (01:13:48):
They are bad players, and they dropped the ball and
they commit penalties and they pretty much just stick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Yeah, and they had no fight, slash effort.

Speaker 16 (01:13:58):
Miami's first three pass sessions four plays sixty nine yards touchdown,
five plays eighty yards touchdown, six plays twenty nine yards touchdown.
In the first quarter, they had one hundred and ninety
nine yards to the Jets eighteen. They were averaging ten
yards of play and they had eleven first down. They
just whatever they wanted to do work. They're either the

(01:14:19):
greatest team since the undefeated Dolphins, or the Jets really suck.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
I'm gonna lean toward the let be Yeah. It's almost
like it's an indictment on the Dolphins for not scoring
fifty in that game. Let's just kind of shut it
down at I mean, it was twenty one nothing and
they got Brady Cook. I had to look up who
he is. Seriously, they scored a touchdown with him Brady Cook.

(01:14:43):
Now 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. Oh that's right, they only got Yeah,
so they didn't score touch okay.

Speaker 3 (01:14:54):
So they did not score it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Okay because I remember quickly putting in a wager when
I saw they were 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 anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
And it was twenty one to three at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
Just did two things.

Speaker 16 (01:15:09):
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 and they did an option.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Oh that's cool. And they even screwed that up because
the guy won hopped the options, but it was backwards.
It was backwards.

Speaker 16 (01:15:31):
The guy was able to catch it and still run
to gain eighteen yards on it. Do you remember when
they used to run Miami Special teams are maybe a
little vulnerable.

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
When they would run that play. Teams would run trick
plays where uh 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,

(01:15:59):
and it was like a thing for a little while.
Easier to do on turf though, yes, yeah, more predictable
on the bounce. Yeah, now that everybody's playing on grass,
I want to do that Thanksgiving weekend a for sure.
Yeah right, yeah forever So Penhills kids cleat Mark No,

(01:16:23):
I regret that play called immediately. Yeah. Miami's a pretty
young team.

Speaker 16 (01:16:28):
The young guys are starting to get it, particularly on
the offensive and defensive lines, running the crap out of
the ball. Yeah, but Tad, 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

(01:16:48):
teams played.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
We'll talk to Charlie Batcher when we come back from
this commercial break. Abby has your news. At the top
of the hour, we'll.

Speaker 16 (01:17:00):
But if you've heard me talk about the bet Parks
sportsbook and online casino app previously, you know I love
the live in game betting option, but there's also a
cash out option that's just as lovable.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
On bet Parks. Last night, I took advantage of both.

Speaker 16 (01:17:13):
Didn't like the price initially, but I jumped in when
Philly fell behind early and the odds became more favorable.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
And I hated breaking a tie with a field goal
rather than a touchdown late, so I'd jump back out
and cashed a fifty five percent w As my old
man would have said, head he lived long enough to
experience the wonders of bet Parks. If somebody wants to
give you money for pushing a button, push it. There's
always another way to win.

Your requests are on the Electric Launch at noon with
Michelle Michaels on dve.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
IS this season during associates local lawyers helping local people
from the Steelers Audio Network, postgame show ladies and gentlemen,
Charlie match, what's up? Tup?

Speaker 18 (01:18:31):
Much have every day?

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
Man?

Speaker 18 (01:18:33):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
Pretty good? 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 3 (01:18:41):
That was nice.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
See, I always love seeing the highlight of that that one.
On the anniversary of the game, and it's kind of
feel good to you to just remember that time. I mean,
the big hug between you and Ben at the end,
like holy balls, we did it. Absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:18:55):
It's one of those games where, no, honestly, what I
was thinking in that moment was, damn, this may be
the last game that ever started my National Football League career.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Yellball what it was, it was.

Speaker 18 (01:19:05):
And so that's why I was 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, the important especially with the
division game and the ravege, that's how people remember that game.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
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

(01:19:43):
a 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 an mvs in there.

Speaker 18 (01:20:01):
Yeah, 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 brought 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 he showed
because they went out four or five receiver sets and

(01:20:24):
it was good to see them spraying the ball around
and that you know this three yards and the cloud
that does type of mentality to loosen up that Raven
defense and they would ever take advantage of it.

Speaker 16 (01:20:34):
Charlie, Randy and I have been kicking this around a
little bit since the game were 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 18 (01:20:51):
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 about
yourself because you know there's some things you truly have
to work on because you're not correcting them. Again, it's
the 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

(01:21:12):
points and keep that lead even though the defense was
giving up those yardage that way. So you know, this
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 (01:21:24):
Well are we going to be able to run the
ball moving forward?

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
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 on the offensive line,
that it's possible.

Speaker 18 (01:21:44):
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.
If back 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 the football. You elaite Jalen out
in the flat, but if you watch Pat Pryer move,
he's running wide open in the middle of the field,

(01:22:06):
and that's how he was back, you know, able to
feel back and make sure he's of 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 2 (01:22:21):
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.

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
And how much do you.

Speaker 2 (01:22:40):
Think they can count on him to be another great
piece in that secondary No.

Speaker 18 (01:22:44):
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 if 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 up one on one that they
feel like they can win that matchup. So it's really
good to see both of those guys, specifically James Pierre,

(01:23:07):
a guy who's been forgot but yet he's been on
this roster for years, sitting up there and making big
play after big play back.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
On the offensive side of the ball. Darnell Washington hurt.
How does that change what Arthur Smith is going to do?

Speaker 18 (01:23:19):
Yeah, he's their best pass blocking Sorry if that's run blow.

Speaker 3 (01:23:23):
Assuming by the way, that he doesn't play on because
we don't know yet.

Speaker 18 (01:23:27):
Correct, 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 esperst. So this is going
to come down to the wire. And obviously Saturday will
be the true indication. Typically is Friday, but Saturday, due
to the Monday night game, will be indication whether or

(01:23:49):
not he can play and if he can, hopefully this
is the week that we see more at.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
Fire Move Charlie.

Speaker 16 (01:23:56):
Miami's coming to town having won four straight. Steelers are
coming off a big went over the Ravens home on
Monday Night football. Is there an edge either way or
have we seen enough to know by now that it's
just week to week and you got to wait and
see what happens.

Speaker 18 (01:24:10):
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 prime time 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

(01:24:31):
certain packages, there's 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 doing their job.
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 2 (01:24:50):
Chuck, the late Thanksgiving means Christmas is quickly approaching and
the Batch Foundations got their else busy at work. What's

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Hey, it's Randy from the DVE Morning Show. 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

(01:27:21):
like that. They offer digital literacy workshops 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.

(01:27:43):
She's going to be a part of them, sharing stories,
opening presents, making new memories all through a screen. 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.
At Kenny ral Subu in Irwin, we believe that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Love is bigger than all of us.

Share the Love of d Subru will make a two
hundred and fifty dollars charitable donation for every new supit
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, all of the late

(01:28:28):
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, No longer twenty four hours. Oh nothing like
going to Ridders.

Speaker 6 (01:28:38):
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. Well, WI kind of
are in intensive care. For sure, you're in a fragile state.

(01:28:59):
And then and then just hearing the wagersses 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, hon, but she has been
stealing tips.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
Brandy Bellman and the DVE morning show Dad Whistle with
us this morning. Yeah, diners are my favorite places. That's
my favorite place to eat. I grew up going to
diners with my dad. He would always get a chocolate
milk and a cheeseburger. Oh that's classic. Wow. Yeah, because
he was like, you can't have a shake every time.
That's like she is like that was his diet shake. Yeah,

(01:29:34):
that's shake light. Yeah, but just even when you would
get a chocolate shake at a diner, and when you
do get a chocolate sake at a dinner and then
they give you the extra shake in the silver thing
and they're like, here's some extra shake my favorite thing. Yeah,
I'm thinking of me, love it. Here, take the extra.
But it does feel like you're like being trusted with
some hardware. You know that now we're going to need

(01:29:55):
that back in the kitchen. Don't be walking away with
that or no one else is getting shakes.

Speaker 6 (01:30:00):
You can tell when bars have been burned by that
because they make you, uh, give us your ID while
you have this fancy cup.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
This Moscow mule cup or whatever. Yeah. That was just
the subplot in Tim robinson show Chair Company. You I Yeah,
I finished it. I love Tim Robinson. That show just
I couldn't get into it. It was so there was
a lot of laughs. The story is just cringey and Uh,

(01:30:27):
I don't know, it's I love. I think you should leave.
I think that his stuff works best in quick bursts. Yeah,
and when it's like the longer narrative like that Paul
red movie I didn't like. But Jacob, you loved it.
And you say, the kids your age who wear shorts
to work all love it.

Speaker 19 (01:30:42):
Yeah, everyone who I know of my age still wears
shorts to work and love friendship. But I'm the only
one that hasn't watched The Chair Company yet. I've been
too lazy. I got logged out of my HBO Max
account and you can't take never cover the password forever.

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
It takes five seconds, real person.

Speaker 19 (01:31:01):
I have heard great things, nothing but great.

Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
Things about The Chair Company.

Speaker 2 (01:31:04):
My brother and his wife love it, and they're like,
have you seen it? You know? And they're all excited,
And I was like, I want to love it as
much as you guys do, but I just.

Speaker 9 (01:31:12):
Don't an awkwardness to my own life that I can't
take on the embarrassment the secondhand embarrassment is somebody else
right now.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
But all the laughs are like in the stuff that
has nothing to do with the story, do you know
what I mean? It's like all the ancillary things are
what's funny and they have nothing to do with the story,
Like the dog ates the patches on my hippie shirt.
Like that stuff is funny to me, but it doesn't.
I don't know, And if you aren't watching it, no
idea what I'm talking about. So never mind. But the

(01:31:41):
Chair Company got renewed. HBO is bringing it back for
season two.

Speaker 9 (01:31:45):
Okay, well, it didn't make the cut for the Golden Globes.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
Unfortunately. I did start throwing on mad Men on HBO
Max when I was doing cardio because I wanted to
see if there were any more goofs and I haven't
spotted any goofs yet.

Speaker 9 (01:31:57):
I wonder if they fixed it yet, right, because I
mean that's the other thing with the streaming capabilities, right,
they can make fixes very quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
And I think, well, I mean they can. I think
that that.

Speaker 9 (01:32:09):
We've even seen that in the past whenever an episode
of a show like kind of gets docks like, they
can cleanse these things quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:32:17):
Yeah. So the Golden Globe nooms came out? Did we
get nominated? We made it?

Speaker 3 (01:32:22):
You guys, awesome, very glad news.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
This hour is brought to you by Window nation.

Speaker 9 (01:32:27):
It is cloudy today, a high of thirty four. We
have made it to a current temperature of eighteen degrees.

Speaker 2 (01:32:34):
It's getting so good right now. The Golden Globe nominees
were announced yesterday.

Speaker 9 (01:32:39):

you guys for the boxing.

Bio portrayal of a lesbian Christie.

Speaker 9 (01:32:46):
Yeah, she did her ugly role and it just didn't
work for some reason.

Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:32:51):
It's like almost like people just want to see you
be hot.

Speaker 2 (01:32:53):
It's almost like it's the knockers. Yeah, it's like the
it's the economy stupid, It's the knocker stupid. I do
like that she's.

Speaker 9 (01:33:05):
Yesterday, we didn't get to the story about how she's
trying to circle back on the American Eagle ad and saying,
you know, I realized that the silence divided us more
than it brought us together.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
And it's like, honey, is the bank account looking a
little low? That? Did nobody go see the biopic that
screamed of I hired a new press agent, and after
I fired the last one because I had three straight
movies tank. Yeah, and they told me that I should
disavow eugenics and so I'm gonna go ahead and say, yes,

(01:33:35):
white is not might necessarily my problem, my bad apologize.
Didn't mean any of that stuff, and didn't mean it
to tacitly endorse it by going, if I have a
problem with something, you'll know about it, because that's a
different stance to take. Then of course I don't agree
with eugenics, right because her first response was if I

(01:33:57):
have a problem with something, you'll hear about it, okay, Well,
then you obviously don't have a problem with the association
they made, which, by the way, I thought was a
dumb association. I think it was so easy to steer
out and be like, it's ridiculous. It's jeans. Of course,
it didn't have any double meaning to it. There was
no connotation beyond the fact that these are good genes

(01:34:18):
with a J not a G. Boom, you're out of it. Instead,
she's like, oh, was there discourse? Well, if I have
a problem with it, you'll hear about it, okay. That
means you agreed with it or you're okay with it. Dumb, dumb,
but that face you made is exactly the face the
interview were made to her. She was like, you don't

(01:34:40):
want to fudget that a little She's like a white
fudget and then just motored, motivating yourself and they're like,
thank you for your time. That was Sidney Sweeney doing
what she does best.

Speaker 9 (01:35:02):
The Rock did get nominated for his MMA biopic The
Smashing Machine, which was like.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
Kind of his version of her movie. I mean, in
a way, it's like The Rock gets serious. I heard
that's a really depressing movie. I think that it is.

Speaker 9 (01:35:16):
However, I think that his performance in it really did
stand out for people. So as much as it's a
difficult watch, I think he was able to tap into
something that really did resonate where people are finding him
to be a serious actor at this point, the same
way that I think there's a lot of buzz about

(01:35:36):
Adam Sandler.

Speaker 2 (01:35:37):
We watched George Clooney movie that shed J Kelly. Did
he get nominated for it?

Speaker 9 (01:35:43):
I want to double check that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
I think he might have.

Speaker 9 (01:35:46):
I have a separate page open here.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
Another sad movie by the way, that J Kelly movie.
I know Sean Colly really liked it. It's another sad
middle aged man movie from Noah Bambach, which I did.
I thought like there are parts of it that are
good but also like I don't know, uh, he kind
of keeps making the same movie with different actors.

Speaker 9 (01:36:05):
He is nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

Speaker 3 (01:36:08):
He was really good in it. He's like he's adorable.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
He's like archetypal, like Hollywood manager guy. Remember that character
he played, Sandy Wexler in that one movie Adam Sandler.

Speaker 3 (01:36:19):
It's kind of like it's kind of like that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
Muted considerably and he's like, oh, Bobby, hy puppy, Oh
I love you, you know what I mean. He's like
one of those guys, and he's just like lives and
dies for his clients. Okay, but he's very sweet in
the movie. It's just I don't know if it's that
fun of a movie to watch.

Speaker 9 (01:36:35):
Did you but the talk that even Sean Collier brought
up with the Oscar buzz, like, did you think it
was that good?

Speaker 2 (01:36:40):
No? Okay, but maybe for the standard of Adam Sandler.
That's what I think it is is that I don't
think it was as good as he was an Uncut Gems.
I think I thought in Uncut Gems, Adam Sandler was like, Wow,
this is an acting performance, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
And this one was just kind of like it was
the softer side of Adam Sandler got you thought it was.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
Okay, okay? One Battle after another.

Speaker 9 (01:37:00):
The Best led all movies with nine nominations, including Best Drama.

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
It's it's one of the best movies I've seen in
a while.

Speaker 2 (01:37:10):
No kidding. Is that one stressful?

Speaker 9 (01:37:13):
Yes, incredibly stressful because that was the one thing that
has me that I continually push it down the list
because I always have to know, I have to do
like a pre flight check in with myself about where
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
Before I watch something. Now you felt there in the
fourth quarter of the Steelers Ravens game. Yeah, that's like
what One Battle after another is two hours and fifteen
minutes of that right with the payoff? Totally okay. Sean
Penn is amazing in it. DiCaprio is like, he's kind
of almost like Lebowski ish in it. If Lebowski had

(01:37:49):
a little more you know, athleticism. I don't know if
that's the word, a little more uh uh, you know,
if the conditions were a little more dire. It's I
think it's a great movie, and it's based on a
novel that's supposedly Vineland.

Speaker 3 (01:38:04):
Thomas pinch On uh novel. It's really it's great.

Speaker 2 (01:38:07):
I think it's a great story and the acting comes
from people who have never acted before. He has two
like hip hop artists in prominent roles. And the one
woman who is nominated for Best Actress. She's incredible, like
the lead of the movie, and I've never heard of
her before and her performance is like wow, nice. And

(01:38:29):
Benicio del Toro is I do love him. He's and
he's like a little bit of comic relief in it.
And he's there just a few small beers. It's like
the famous line he has from that one he gets
pulled over for a d U I've been drinking.

Speaker 3 (01:38:39):
Yeah, what did you have? Just a few small beers.

Speaker 21 (01:38:44):
Like that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
It's great. Yeah, I highly recommend checking that one out.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
But it is.

Speaker 3 (01:38:48):
It's not I'll sit back and relax movie. It's like
a holy cow. And Sean Penn is terrifying in it.

Speaker 9 (01:38:56):
Well, I haven't heard about him in a minute. Actually
I didn't know he was in that movie.

Speaker 3 (01:39:00):
He's terrifying.

Speaker 2 (01:39:01):
Okay, he's his baseline is sort of terrifying now. And
they have him tad made up to look even like scarier,
so he's got like a scarred up face and stuff. God. Yeah,
and it's it's it's a messed up performance by him.
It's a really diabolical character and he is really good
at it. All right, I'm gonna budget some time for it's.

Speaker 9 (01:39:21):
Uh, The White Lotus was the top TV show that
got Speaking of the shows that got snubbed, let's look
at did you like The White Lotus this year?

Speaker 2 (01:39:35):
I did. I wanted that kid to die, not because
I hated him, because I thought it would have been
a good part of the story. I thought they chickened out. Yeah,
they chickened out.

Speaker 9 (01:39:43):
I think I have to have shows with consequence. Yeah,
for me to really feel it. Did you want there
to be full on incest and then, well, I guess
there was. I forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:55):
Yeah. They misdirect it a little bit though. Yeah, it's
like unintentionally like wa oh, that's you, you know, instead.

Speaker 3 (01:40:02):
Of what they made you think was gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:40:04):
Ah.

Speaker 9 (01:40:05):
I just again, I always like shows with consequence because
there's even shows that start off so powerful and then
in subsequent seasons they lose their consequence, which is why
I tend to think people don't finish shows, you know,
by season three, when you learn what the trick is, Yeah,
and no one ever dies and no one ever gets

(01:40:27):
in trouble, then the ruses up. Right, you're done with it.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
And when you knew that Alf would stop eating cats
and wasn't going to get sent back to Melmack, what
was the point of watching it any right?

Speaker 8 (01:40:37):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:40:37):
All right?

Speaker 9 (01:40:38):
So Wicked for Good did not get nominated for Best Picture,
and so people are calling that a big snub. It
is up for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, which sounds
like a little.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
Pat on the head box office achievement. Could there be
a more cynical award?

Speaker 8 (01:40:54):
All?

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Like? It just tells you who's in charge of these awards.
It's they're becoming less consequential by the year, very much.
That's the proud pleasing award. It's like, but nobody actually
really liked it. And I told you that.

Speaker 9 (01:41:03):
Even I took my daughter to see it, and even
she was bored senseless. She was like leaning over the
seat and just like staring at me upside Downtons singing.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
She said, are you on a Grande's eyelashes are too long?
She did get nominated for that, though, so that is nice.
Longest eyelastic collar bone. Yes, like those women are something's weird.
Weird is happening? All three of those actresses look emaciated?
All three? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Michelle Yo oh I forgot.

Speaker 9 (01:41:38):
Yeah, Michelle Yo gave bless her because I really like her.
Nothing to that performance, Like just her facial expression never
changed at any point during that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
Movie when you make your face get shot up. I
don't think it was that.

Speaker 9 (01:41:55):
I just think she just didn't either read it or
no the play was about or anything about it. You
just there was nothing there. Jeff Goldbloom saved the.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
Movie for me. That's it. He does it most times. Yeah, well,
no danger of me ever watching that, You're safe.

Speaker 9 (01:42:13):
Stranger Things also failed to land anything in its final season.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Is anybody talking about this or watching Strangers did? They
just made everyone wait too long and we all lost interest?

Speaker 11 (01:42:22):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:42:23):
Isn't that basically what is happening here? Or am I
in the minority and I'm not watching.

Speaker 9 (01:42:27):
And everyone else's the Demi Gorgan has kids in college
like I have.

Speaker 6 (01:42:30):
No bigger they're in school with Philip Rivers Grand.

Speaker 9 (01:42:37):
The Globes also added a podcast category this year.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
And we were nominated. Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:42:43):
Start to finish the DV morning show wherever you get podcasts.

Speaker 9 (01:42:46):
They ignored political shows, which was kind of fun so
smart yeah, I know, they just kind of and they
also snubbed the true crime genre. But the nominees this
year are mostly the celebrity driven shows, so they got
a good hang with Amy Poehler. I do love that podcast,
my god, she's hilarious and SmartLess also got a nod.
And for those of you don't know, that's the one

(01:43:07):
that has Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
I also think that's very funny. Amy Puller's ex husband. Yeah,
who is the only thing in that podcast that like
he tries a little too hard sometimes like the rest
of I don't know. They have it. They have such
a natural, great energy because they're all besties.

Speaker 9 (01:43:24):
Yeah, but it's the thing is like Jason Bateman has
that natural like fifty cent I was just born to
be a bully funny, and Will Arnett seems like he
has to force Relly bring it back to bully.

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
He is funny though, but he is. No, they're all
they're all funny. They are all funny. I do like
that one.

Speaker 9 (01:43:42):
The Golden Globes will air live on CBS Sunday, January
the eleventh, and No n.

Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
You know he races all the Miss America.

Speaker 9 (01:43:55):
Nikki Glazer is returning as the host for the second
straight ear.

Speaker 2 (01:43:59):
She was pretty good last year. I think she'll do
another great job because she was good on SNL. By
the way, did you see Nikky on SNR?

Speaker 9 (01:44:04):
I really liked her and I think she kind of
embodies like almost like the Heidi Gardner loss. Yes, like
she's almost like a good If she was into doing SNL,
she'd be a good replacement for that because she kind
of embodies that that character arc.

Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
And that kind of role. I will say, SNL I
think is making a turn in the right direction. They
seem to be letting the younger people do weird stuff
and that's when it gets good, and that's when they
find their footing, like they're not so caught up in
making sure that you know, uh, there's some older star
who needs to you know, whether it's tidy or whoever,

(01:44:40):
needs to be in every sketch like that. Ashley Padilla
girl went from a featured player too. She's in every
freaking sketch and they're pretty good and they're pretty funny.
And they did a really weird one with the two
younger women who were on that show, the new TikTok
Donica slow Askowski or something like that, and the girl

(01:45:03):
who did the weird songs. Anyways, they did this really
weird song about cousins and it was like not necessarily
like my thing, but it blew up online. And that's
how you know they're going in the right direction, is
like something really weird hits yeah and pops, and they'd
start to trust the younger people instead of doing the
same thing over and over again. James Austin Johnson is

(01:45:24):
a great He's like there, Phil Hartman, I think that
that guy is he kind of came out of nowhere
to be a star on that show. And Colin jo
justd Pete haggs Ath this past weekend. I don't know
if you saw that. He was very funny.

Speaker 9 (01:45:35):
I like seeing him in the character actor roles because
we're so used to seeing him do the update stuff
and kind of being himself in a way. I do
like him kind of doing some more impressions.

Speaker 2 (01:45:46):
It's it's fresh air on the show. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:45:49):
But to your point, I do also think like the
James Austin Johnson being the classic impressionist angle of SNL
is great. But letting the new people kind of do
a Tim Robinson thing but still accessible and letting them
be weird. There's still gonna be birthing pains for SNL

(01:46:10):
because people are, you know, not sure what to make
of the show as those seasons go on. But if
you can just let them be weird, let them breathe. Yeah,
I think it will find its footing, which.

Speaker 2 (01:46:20):
Is like every reference is not for me, every joke
is not like going to target me, you know, and
it shouldn't. I'm way out of the demo of what
they're trying to appeal to and when it is like
trying to make you know, guys over fifty laugh, and
they're doing it wrong. So I think they're finally I
think they learned from the last couple of years. Tad,
Do you watch the show at all? Cause we always say.

Speaker 9 (01:46:38):
That we don't really watch watch it live necessarily all
the time, but we'll watch it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:43):
Like in clips. I'll watched the clips. I'm a little
bit behind. Yeah, I mean, James Austin Johnson is like amazing,
and I too do love Colin jo just when because
people are excited to see him in a sketch, they're
like ready to laugh and ready to be engaged because
he's stepping outside of the comfort zone of where you
know him from. I'll have to check him out of

(01:47:04):
hag Seth because I know that they even they made
a joke about that last year on the show, like
who would play hag Seth on SML?

Speaker 11 (01:47:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
Yeah, Well, and that being said, I think him and
Chay's probably time for them to like let someone else
do that, you know on SNL.

Speaker 3 (01:47:20):
I'm sure that they're kind of both.

Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
Chay sounded like he's wanted to leave for a few
years and it would just be interesting to put another
character in there.

Speaker 9 (01:47:29):
You know, there's a bitterness to Chay that sometimes it
reads a little too fourth wall breakdown, where you're like,
do you want to maybe go home and take a nap?

Speaker 2 (01:47:39):
Yeah? Have you been here too long? I love ja though.
He did one of our comedy fests, and I mean
we literally all hung out until the sun came up.

Speaker 3 (01:47:47):
He seems like he was so funny. I've told the
story before.

Speaker 2 (01:47:51):
Our limo driver was Irish Uh and Irish Ed and
we were watching this documentary and you know, having some
beers late night and uh, just a few small beers
and uh it was Watstacks, you know, and it was
like the whole you know, nineteen seventy two and Watts.
It's like the black wood stock and uh, Jay looks

(01:48:12):
at and he's like, you know, he's like black people,
Irish people were like, got a lot of things in common,
you know, and Ed goes, oh, no, we do not,
Like dude. It was so funny and like doubled Shae

(01:48:34):
over He's like, oh my god, because they were best
buddies all night. They were talking all my He's like,
we got a lot of things in common. Oh no,
we do not. That was that epic night we always
talked about when Ralphie May was in town and he
ended up showing up and Bartnick and Versey and Andy
Picaro and yeah, h yeah. It was a My floor.

(01:48:58):
The floor in my basement was full of Coleslaw because
we got we got thirty permannies like to go, so
like we just so we had something to eat and
we had all these Primanne sandwiches and they were just
all where Ralphie was sitting, there was a circle of
Coleslaw on the floor. It was so funny. The next day,
I'm like sweeping on like this is disgusting and hilarious

(01:49:22):
instead of a push broom at that point, Yeah, pretty much.
We got Jerry d coming up here in about fifteen
seventeen minutes or so. Mike Pursuit has got a few
small beers for you when we come back here on

Not kind of just sports right now on the DVE
Morning Show. Steelers are in first place, Mike.

Speaker 16 (01:50:24):
That they are sports Is are brought to you by
bridgevill Applies.

Speaker 2 (01:50:27):
But they'd better stay there.

Speaker 16 (01:50:28):
If they want to get to the playoffs because the
wild card route got potentially a little bit tougher.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
Last night. Chargers beat the Eagles twenty two to nineteen,
and that was when you would needed them to lose,
you know, overtitle. You'd rather the be eight and five
instead of nine and four. Questionable as to whether the
Chargers can catch Denver, which is eleven and two in
the division, so it's probably a wild card or bust
for them. And at nine and four, they're two games

(01:50:55):
ahead of the Steelers and they have a head to
head win over the Steer's the good news schedule on
the way out, It is not easy Chiefs and as matches,
it's the you know, the it's a division game at
home for the Chiefs, then the Cowboys in Dallas, and
then the Texans, who are a defensive juggernaut right now,

(01:51:17):
and they close out January fourth in Denver, so they
might conceivably go one and three down the stretch here
or Denver has nothing to play for by then, and yeah,
and they placed the jvs that that could happen. Denver's
ten straight they ripped off.

Speaker 16 (01:51:34):
I think if the Steelers beat Miami and Cleveland, they'll
be fine based on what Baltimore has left. I don't
see Baltimore rolling through the Patriots, the Packers, and the
Bengals unscathed.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
No, and I think that that game against the Bears
just made the Packers better. That was a like high
test for them.

Speaker 16 (01:51:58):
Oh that's that division's version of Steelers Ravens, only only.

Speaker 2 (01:52:03):
With much better recorder. Well it's one hundred and twenty
five years old or tradition, more history. And then you
got the Ben Johnson LA floor stuff. I I actually
thought that this past Sunday was one of the best
NFL Sundays of the year, great matchups all the way
until you passed out with the Chiefs and the Texans.

(01:52:26):
Pat Well, I mean, you know, I can't stay after
those games anymore, you know, make a first half bet
and go to bed or cash out. Hey, I've been
waiting all day for Sunday night most of the time,
and I'm like, hurry off, what is with the ephed
Why can't it be a seven thirty start. They got

(01:52:49):
to milk it. It just can't you know. Steele's getting
ready for the Dolphins Monday night at Actor.

Speaker 16 (01:52:53):
Sure, if you were paying close attention to our video
or excuse me, our visit with Charlie Batch, you hear
them talk about Miami's offense and it's kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (01:53:04):
It is a crowded back to.

Speaker 16 (01:53:06):
The Dolphins are just running the ball, running the ball,
and they'll have to back there in shotgun. But a
lot of times they'll have a running back in a
full back, or they'll have a running back and a
tight end, or they'll have a running back and a
wide receiver, or they'll have a running back in a
full back and their extra offensive line and number sixty
four is eligible, and they got guys shifting all over

(01:53:27):
the place and motions all over the place, and basically
what they're trying to do is get you know, what's
going on over there, and then they just run it
up the middle. The running it's kind of what Baltimore
used to do while back, and it can be distracting, confusing.
Defense really has to be honest details, and that's going

(01:53:48):
to be challenging for the Steelers. Miami's running. It's not
just Devon Ahchen four game winning streak. The Dolphins have
rushed for over one hundred and sixty yards in all
four of those games. Miami hasn't done that since nineteen
seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (01:54:07):
Each Ain got an MRI yesterday.

Speaker 16 (01:54:09):
Coach said he's fine, yep, So he'll be there very
much looking forward to playing. And then they have the
guy who filled in against the Jets, second year guy
Jalen Wright hadn't really done much of anything this year,
but he had over one hundred yards against the Jets
in the last three quarters. And they have a rookie
out of Oklahoma State, Oli Gordon, a bigger back six
two two twenty five. He's kind of the short yarded's

(01:54:31):
goal line guy. So they can pounds you with three guys.

Speaker 2 (01:54:34):
Would be a great week to get Derek Harmon back. Oh, yes,
it would, Yes, it would.

Speaker 16 (01:54:40):
And defensively, these guys are starting to figure it out too.

Speaker 2 (01:54:43):
I mentioned last hour. Ten sacks in the last.

Speaker 16 (01:54:45):
Two games, six against the Jets. At least two takeaways
in all four of their wins in the four game
winning streak. So they're running the ball, they're taking it away.
They're protecting it and their passing game is just kind of,
you know, a little play action boot sidelines, crossers, slants.

(01:55:05):
They didn't take one deep shot against the Jets.

Speaker 2 (01:55:07):
They didn't have to.

Speaker 16 (01:55:11):
Can't give up two hundred yards again, I'm guessing on
the ground that would probably be bad, which.

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
Is why I would like to see Harmon back and
hope that Queen's hip is okay.

Speaker 16 (01:55:22):
But I also think you can load up against the
run against these guys. I mean, you know, Waddle's a
pretty good player, but that's that's gonna be the change up.

Speaker 2 (01:55:33):
The fastball for Miami is going to be run, run, run.
Why would they stop now? You just put JPJ on Waddle.

Speaker 16 (01:55:40):
May I do whatever I gotta do to stop the
run and then I figure out the pass If I'm
Terra Austin, are you I'm not okay?

Speaker 2 (01:55:53):
Abby? Will have your news coming up, Tom They are
how to write.

(01:56:47):
right now from the Steelers Audio Network and the post
is at Jerry Do like Legen John on the JERRYD.
Good morning, buddy, how are you Randall?

Speaker 8 (01:56:53):
I'm good. I'm not used to being with you on
a Tuesday, but wonderful morning.

Speaker 18 (01:56:57):
See.

Speaker 2 (01:56:58):
We appreciate you, uh postponing a day so that we
could bump Jeane's territor up.

Speaker 3 (01:57:04):
The necessity of that pretty obvious.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
Three huge calls that went the Steelers way on Sunday.
One of those the refs got wrong and they admitted
as much.

Speaker 3 (01:57:15):
The league did to John Harbaugh yesterday.

Speaker 8 (01:57:18):
Right right, yeah, And anytime I had to step aside
for jeens sterairtur I'm glad to do it. Of course, yeah,
the right. And you did say according to John Harbaugh
and he said the league author I sim to say that,
and you know that's you know, all that's fine. They
got that wrong, the part they got to catch right,

(01:57:43):
except the rule was just so stupid. Yeah, so stupid.
You can toe tap two feet touchdown, You can reach
across the plane, get it punched out touchdown. You could
could take two steps controlling the ball, but you didn't
take a third step. I mean eight years to Jesse
James and they still can't get that. What's a catch?

Speaker 18 (01:58:03):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:58:04):
And I just thought that was ridiculous. And of course
that really hurt the Ravens because they, you know, they
turned the ball over on downs, so there's seven points, Well,
who knows, I'm sure they would have gone for two
and the other one I never got a good clear look,
but obviously the officials did on the thing with Aaron Rodgers.

(01:58:25):
But yeah, those were the two in particular. And then
of course on the field goal, that was a big
one too, because the Steelers scored one play later.

Speaker 2 (01:58:34):
In all fairness, that could have worked in the Ravens
favor by eating up even more clock if they were
able to score a touchdown there which they had a
wide open both Roberts was coming open and DeAndre Hopkins,
sitting in the back of the end zone would just
waving his arms throw it to me and Lamar unable.

Speaker 3 (01:58:54):
To do it.

Speaker 2 (01:58:55):
So they had their opportunities, and that would have really
put the Steelers in a bad spot because they would
have to score with even less time on the clock.
Well that nowithstanding, they're in first place seven and six,
But it wasn't without a cost, Jerry. A lot of
injuries for concussions was suspected during the game, and then
Eccles was granted the release back into the wild there.

(01:59:16):
But right now they are nursing a whole lot of injuries.
What do you know on the injury front for the
Steelers at this point?

Speaker 8 (01:59:21):
Yeah, yeah, I don't a whole lot right now, Randall,
because I'll probably get a better feel by tomorrow. But
you know, on the play you're referencing to DeAndre DeAndre Hawkins,
you know, judging from his reaction and Lamar's reaction, Mark
Andrews actually broke up that play, you know, trying to
dive across and reach up high and he deflex the

(01:59:44):
ball and you know, it looks like it's going to be,
you know, probably a short touchdown, but yeah, I mean
they were losing a lot of guys, and I think
that was you know, I think that's kind of one
of the things that that the Steelers and the coaches,
the players and the coaches embrace in those moments. And
by that, I mean the resolve that they have by

(02:00:05):
trying to mix and match as best they could, especially
on defense when guys were going down. When Patrick Queen
went down.

Speaker 2 (02:00:13):
So that looked bad. The Queen injury looked really bad,
and I couldn't believe he got back in the game.

Speaker 8 (02:00:20):
I was the same way. But I think, you know
that as it turned out, that they will kind of
embrace that situation because of what they were still able
to accomplish. And I know, you know, you look Randall,
from that last drive that in the third corps that
bled into the fourth quarter. If from that moment on,

(02:00:41):
the Ravens out gained the Steelers, it was like two
hundred and twenty to eight.

Speaker 2 (02:00:47):
And so.

Speaker 8 (02:00:48):
And the Steelers ran how many plays in the fourth quarter?

Speaker 18 (02:00:50):
Very few.

Speaker 8 (02:00:51):
But what happened though, was where I give the defense
credit is that the Ravens were at the Steeler ten
on three steps for occasions and only came away with
two field goals. And then at the end the last
drive they were at the thirty when it ended with
the high smith sacks, so at that point that the
defense stepped up when they were down, that defense to

(02:01:13):
their territory and to hold them to just two field
goals on three times from the ten, you know, they
you know, you got to commend them for that, that's.

Speaker 11 (02:01:20):
For sure, Terry.

Speaker 16 (02:01:21):
This team has been so up and down all year
in all three phases, really kind of digging deep and
finding a way to beat Baltimore, which was a revenge
game and a rivalry game and a game for first
place and a game for history and all that stuff.
Did that possibly elevate the Steelers collectively? And can we

(02:01:44):
expect some consistency now or have they already shown us
what they are?

Speaker 8 (02:01:51):
Well, my best, that's what we're going to find out,
because you know it's to how about you know they
like to use the expression stacking wins, Well, you know,
how about putting one on top of the other. I
mean they did that early in the season when they
won three in a row after the Seattle game. But
instead of stacking losses this time of year, probably a
good idea to at least stack a couple of wins.
And so to me, that's what we're going to find

(02:02:13):
out on Monday. I mean Miami's you know, right now,
I don't care who they beat. They're sneaky good four
in a row and five out of six, but they
have to show that. I mean the game against Baltimore.
I don't want to say it doesn't mean anything if
they lose to Miami, because Mike, they go two and
two in the last four games. As long as they
beat the Ravens, they're in they could go one in three.

(02:02:35):
And as long as they beat the Ravens, their win probability,
I saw according to the New York Times is over
eighty percent because of the schedule that the Ravens have.
But I still think if you're going to be any
kind of decent team, then you can't just rely on
one victory. And Michael, let me say this. I'll give
you props. When we talked in the pregame show and
I said that Arthur Smith wants to be more aggressive,

(02:02:58):
you said that Ravens defense is susceptible, to big plays,
and they certainly.

Speaker 18 (02:03:02):
Were on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (02:03:04):
Jerry Big national story on Saturday and Sunday about the
Steelers and the contract situation with Mike Tomlin. Of course,
a lot of outcry and steeling a nation that they
were tired of Mike Tomlin football and the fire Tomlin
chance of course breaking out the boot renegade.

Speaker 3 (02:03:24):
The peasants were angry and that was quite out of
So then.

Speaker 2 (02:03:30):
We find out that the Steelers have an option on
his seventh year for twenty or the twenty twenty seven season,
but they have to exercise it by March of.

Speaker 3 (02:03:38):
Twenty six, so that's four months from now.

Speaker 2 (02:03:42):
Do you have any information on whether or not that
is something that is actually in question right now or
is it something that seems like a FATA company that
they're not even close to being ready to change horses
right now.

Speaker 8 (02:03:55):
Well, yeah, that ladder of statement is probably more correct
Randall And And even in Adam Schefter's report, who you know,
I like personally and respect the heck out of professionally.
I just thought, you know, his his tweet was, well,
they're not going to fire Mike Tomlin, but there's going
to be a discussion about it. Well, first of all,

(02:04:15):
that's coming from Mike Tomlin's agent, because it's not coming
from the Steelers because they don't discuss anything that's going
to happen after the season during the season. So from
that end, I know where that where that's coming from.
The stuff about the option, I mean, I'm not going
to sit here and dispute it because I know this.
A couple of contract extensions ago they gave Mike Tomlin.

(02:04:36):
It was a one year, one year extension with one
a one year deal with a one year option, and
ever since then, I just assumed, and maybe even before that,
there was always an option clause in his contract, So
the fact that they stated it once before was surprising
to me. They haven't done that since. But anything that

(02:05:00):
that might even happen isn't even being discussed by the
Steelers right now because they just don't do that, and
so not during the season. Anything that's going to happen
next season won't be discussed till after this season. So
do I you know, do I expect anything to happen, No,
I don't. But I've always said Mike Tomlin will be

(02:05:20):
gone when Mike Tomlin decides he's had enough, whether he
needs a change of scenery, whether he needs to whether
he wants to retire. But I don't see the Steelers
making any move in that regard unless the complete bottom
would fall out, and I don't see that happening either.

what's going to that?

Speaker 2 (02:07:40):
Because I've been seeing you on you You've been on
more Pad podcast than Blue Choo lately. It's it's crazy.

Speaker 27 (02:07:49):
Well, you know, I'm still figuring that out. You know,
I've been invited on a few, I've gone on a few,
and I'm still figuring out this version of you know,
I don't know what do you call it?

Speaker 11 (02:08:04):
Publicity? I yes, so publicity.

Speaker 27 (02:08:06):
So yeah, I think I'm ready to step back for
a little bit.

Speaker 11 (02:08:11):
And just go silent for a little while.

Speaker 27 (02:08:13):
I've done a couple now, and I don't want to
be that guy that's repeating.

Speaker 11 (02:08:16):
Himself, you know what I mean. Yeah, So I'm just.

Speaker 27 (02:08:20):
I'm you know, I'm trying to figure out how you
do that. It's it's almost I didn't realize there's things
I'm so far behind everything. I didn't realize those things
are like those are literally like late night talking.

Speaker 3 (02:08:31):
They are that is the new Tonight Show.

Speaker 11 (02:08:34):
It's crazy, it's great, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:08:37):
Well, they have much bigger audiences, much bigger audiences than
the Tonight Show.

Speaker 27 (02:08:42):
Well, I think that feels a little bit like we're
stuck in Wayne's world, but you know we do.

Speaker 2 (02:08:48):
Yeah, well, you did Corolla's podcast, that's one of the
biggest in the world.

Speaker 27 (02:08:52):
Yeah, he was nice enough to ask me on I
met him on Funny You should ask when we do
the game show and he's been on every for and
it was nice enough to ask it was it was
really good with me and h like you said that
I did Pete Holmes and he was nice going to
do Yeah, really good dude. And then I'm gonna go
to New York first week of January to promote my

(02:09:15):
tour and uh, I'm doing Mark and Kelly and you
know a few other shows like just to promote that
I'm going to be out there.

Speaker 2 (02:09:24):
Now people still watch that stuff, people still watch the Morning.

Speaker 27 (02:09:27):
Yeah, well well people from Earth one.

Speaker 12 (02:09:30):
You know.

Speaker 27 (02:09:31):
This is why I tell you, this is why I
tell you television and radio and movies better than the Internet,
because when you heard a nutbag or saw a nutbag
on TV or the movies, you shut that off and
you went, now that's a good actor. See a nutbag
on the internet, You're like, they're out walking around, that
could be down the street. That that guy is in

(02:09:53):
general population. You understand he's out there. So now I'm
not leaving it.

Speaker 2 (02:09:57):
Well, it's like Bell right, like like late at night
and you listen to Art Bell Show, and anybody who
did any driving at night definitely knows Art Bell. And
you would hear these han kooks on Art Bell's show,
and those people are now affecting international elections. It's crazy
who we have seeded responsibility to. It used to be

(02:10:20):
people you'd be laughing stuff and like like the tinfoil
hats are now running things.

Speaker 27 (02:10:26):
Yeah, well, I you know, I don't think we should
be relying on comics for breaking news, political opinion, or science.
And that's me present company included. I wouldn't want me
in charge to none of that. And I'm a pretty
good guy. Yeah, you know, so, I just I don't
think we should be wading in and putting all our
hopes on comics.

Speaker 11 (02:10:45):
Now, let's remember it's entertainment, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:10:48):
Yeah, Well, the good news is is you got plenty
of entertainment coming up with this tour that's going to
be taking you all over the country.

Speaker 3 (02:10:54):
You ready for that.

Speaker 2 (02:10:54):
That's going to be a little bit of a little
ground that's weird. Man.

Speaker 27 (02:10:58):
I slugged it in the clubs for the last year
and a half to get ready for this thing. And
uh and we'll see, we'll see. I'm gonna do this
tour from January to the end of March. It's a
theater tour and uh.

Speaker 11 (02:11:12):
And we'll see.

Speaker 27 (02:11:12):
Uh, we're gonna say, I'm gonna make a decision after
that as to whether or not discontinues. To be honest
with you, I do, uh, I am, I'm I'm tired, man.

Speaker 9 (02:11:23):
What's the We'll see what's the pace of this tour?

Speaker 2 (02:11:26):
Billy, like, are you getting nice?

Speaker 27 (02:11:30):
Well, let's hope it's not something that gives me pneumonia
and a fab like traveling to eerie.

Speaker 2 (02:11:37):
Take care of yourself, you know.

Speaker 11 (02:11:39):
No, I'm with you, believe me.

Speaker 27 (02:11:40):
It's been mentioned by Missus Gardell that's been putting the
suggestion box.

Speaker 2 (02:11:44):
That's on the sign when you get into town, you know,
come for the pneumonia, stay.

Speaker 11 (02:11:54):
And then a fish fry.

Speaker 27 (02:11:55):
But I'm gonna uh, it'll be like I'll do like
two weekends in a row, four different theaters, one Friday,
one Saturday. The following week one Friday, one Saturday. Then
I'm gonna take a week off, then go back out
and do the same thing. And it goes like that
all the way through the end of March. So we'll see,
we'll see what happens. I'm not sure yet. I'm just
being open to whatever whatever's supposed to be. You know

(02:12:17):
what I mean, I think you can't really push. You
just got to keep trying. And so we'll see, We'll
let it unfold and let us see how what happens.

Speaker 11 (02:12:23):
In the meantime.

Speaker 2 (02:12:24):
You also have a pretty big deal in the works.
It's not like you're gonna go live in a college,
you know.

Speaker 11 (02:12:30):
No, no, no no. But I I'm excited to try
to get another show going with Reno. I'd really like
to do that.

Speaker 27 (02:12:39):
Another buddy of mine approached me about something like it
feels like there's a little more production ramping up this
year in Los Angeles than there has been in probably
the last four because there's been some tax credits that
have come back, which is good. And I don't know,
Like I said, I don't know, man, I'm just you know.
I guess it was the line of old James Taylor song,
I guess my feet know where they want me to go.

Speaker 11 (02:13:00):
So we'll see. I'm just gonna keep walking and turning
door knobs and most of.

Speaker 23 (02:13:04):
What happens James Taylor, I guess my feet, no way
they want me to go walking down the country road,
La la la, which is.

Speaker 2 (02:13:17):
It's like, James, do you want to write a lyric
for that. No, let's just go with the lis. We
just got Alaabbie's got some lives for you right now
on DV. What's going on? Is this hours brought to
you by a better call sy.

Speaker 9 (02:13:29):
Rather cloudy, and I have thirty four today currently eighteen degrees.
Today is National Christmas Card Day, which is a helpful
last minute reminder that it wait a.

Speaker 11 (02:13:40):
Minute, Wait a minute, isn't that Christmas?

Speaker 2 (02:13:44):
No? What do you mean?

Speaker 27 (02:13:47):
So there's a Christmas Card Day and then there's Christmas?

Speaker 2 (02:13:49):
Well, I think what she's getting to is that today
is the sort of starting line for the song sending
out Christmas cards.

Speaker 27 (02:13:57):
Probably right declared you had because if we had to
have all our cards in today, I'm done. Hey, I
wish everybody I'm merry Christmas. I thought I thought that
meant they were due today.

Speaker 2 (02:14:08):
I was like, what, I think it's a starting day.

Speaker 9 (02:14:09):
Right, I think that it's a reminder if you're going
to be getting holiday cards out this year, you probably
need to get.

Speaker 2 (02:14:17):
A move on it.

Speaker 9 (02:14:18):
Which I always feel triggered and shamed when Thanksgiving is
done and somebody wants to prove how great they are
at life and I've already received your holiday card.

Speaker 27 (02:14:29):
Yeah, so here's what you could not do. Don't send
me the family newsletter. I don't care. Just pictures acceptable,
but don't send me the family newsletter.

Speaker 11 (02:14:39):
I don't want to re repport.

Speaker 2 (02:14:40):
Unless it's full of really good dirt. Then I want
there's a.

Speaker 11 (02:14:46):
Lot of hot bring it off adventure exactly.

Speaker 27 (02:14:50):
Yeah, you must have. You have to invented a new
kind of light bulb for me to read the newsletter.
I'm not reading the newsletter I wanted to.

Speaker 2 (02:14:57):
Is like, well, our son Eric is still in derelict,
you know, yeah popped again.

Speaker 27 (02:15:05):
You know, Todd has absolutely no hope I can still living.

Speaker 11 (02:15:11):
I don't think it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (02:15:13):
For Eric is no longer working. For more details, call
me directly, happy to fill you in. That could be
something you do where you just send it out like
a block, Like here's my sub stack if you want
to read about the fans. Yeah, subscribe to my patreon. Yeah,
tied to you and your wife do a Christmas card?

(02:15:34):
We don't, We don't. We just absorbed the shame and
the bad feelings. Uh.

Speaker 11 (02:15:40):
Yeah, it eventually passed.

Speaker 6 (02:15:43):
Yeah, it does when you start you receiving you know,
the first one comes the mail, and and like Billy
was alluding to earlier, you're like, oh no, this is
the nightmare where it's a final and I arrived at
the tests and I've done no homework, I've done no studying.

Speaker 2 (02:15:59):
But yeah, we're just gonna let it. It's gonna let
it go by.

Speaker 11 (02:16:02):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:16:02):
Yet I'm only two two cards deep this year, I've
only received two.

Speaker 27 (02:16:05):
You know, if you really need it out, you can
always you didn't get it.

Speaker 2 (02:16:13):
That.

Speaker 11 (02:16:14):
I can't believe you didn't get that.

Speaker 2 (02:16:15):
I'll tell you there's a couple of people that have
stuck with me that I wouldn't have blamed them for
bailing a long time ago, and I still get them.
And I'm always like, all right, man, thanks for keeping
me on the list because I haven't seen yet in
a while. Like, there's a couple of you.

Speaker 27 (02:16:31):
For years, my old man down in Florida, if you
wanted to come stay with him, you had to send
a physical card and he would put them up over
the arc of the area in the living room, and
if you didn't send him a card, you were not
welcome back in the house. He made a list at
the end of the year you will not be visiting me.

(02:16:53):
I did not receive a holiday card.

Speaker 2 (02:16:55):
Well I got special dispensation when I got when I
went to visit him. Then that was good because.

Speaker 11 (02:17:00):
You're a different cake.

Speaker 2 (02:17:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:17:01):
I came bearing dve T shirts for him, So that
that was my.

Speaker 27 (02:17:06):
Wheel of cheesecake with you, A wheel of cheesecake that you.

Speaker 2 (02:17:11):
Love, of different cheesecakes, A whole bunch of cheesecakes here,
hey man. Like I grew up in the you know,
school of as my dad said, come kicking because your
hands are full.

Speaker 11 (02:17:22):
You know, that's right, the doorbell with your elbow exactly.
I got in my hands that I used to.

Speaker 9 (02:17:29):
Do holiday cards every year, and I know that there
was like one year where whatever company I ordered from
actually did screw us like hard, where they didn't deliver
the cards in time for them to get out by Christmas.
And then I had these Christmas cards and they went
out super super late. And then every year after that

(02:17:51):
I ordered New Year's cards, so the theme was always
Happy New Year, so that I built in this cushion
to get it out for January and then you know,
and especially like.

Speaker 2 (02:18:02):
I'm not big on those cards, like I don't care, but.

Speaker 9 (02:18:05):
I'm kind of always like if you have a kid
or you're gonna like you just had a new baby
or something like that, and you want to do a
card for that reason, Like.

Speaker 2 (02:18:12):
Okay, I get it.

Speaker 9 (02:18:14):
But the last few years I got to be honest,
Like now when people like I didn't get a Christmas
card from you, I'm like I stopped.

Speaker 2 (02:18:21):
I just stopped playing.

Speaker 9 (02:18:22):
I'm just like it's it's just too hard and I
don't care enough.

Speaker 2 (02:18:27):
You have Instagram fantastic, but.

Speaker 11 (02:18:33):
Who says who comes up and says I didn't get
a Christmas card from your aunt?

Speaker 2 (02:18:38):
Like, yeah, you guys do a Christmas card this year?
And I'm like, lay off me. Yeah, I have a buddy,
Billy who is who you've met, is like one of
my best buds. And every year his his Christmas card
is a major production and it has been for twenty years.
And his wife and his two daughters have to go

(02:18:58):
through with whatever mamy idea he comes up with, and
their doozies, like a lot of times they are I
can't believe he convinces them to do that because his
daughters and his wife don't share the same sort of
kookie sensibilities that he has. Comedically, they think he's an
absolute you know nutcase.

Speaker 11 (02:19:15):
He is, and it's the flight of every father.

Speaker 2 (02:19:18):
It is how hilarious the the like photos that he
like he did smoking the bandit one year, and like,
you know, his wife's dressed up like the cop he's
Burt Rentals, you know, Like it's always stuff like that.
But it's getting to the point now where he feels
so much pressure every year to outdo the prior year. Sure,
and his ideas are getting wilder and wilder. I mean,

(02:19:40):
he's been in drag like ten times at Christmas on
his car, Like there's nothing that is out of bounce
for him.

Speaker 3 (02:19:47):
And I just keep asking him.

Speaker 2 (02:19:48):
Like, dude, are you gonna you're doing another one this year?
He's like, absolutely have to. I'm like, what's the pressure? Like,
He's like insurmountable. It's crazy.

Speaker 11 (02:19:57):
That's that's the plight of the father.

Speaker 27 (02:19:59):
You bring some free joy into the house and then
you know, the rest of the family puts it out
like the fire department they just hit you with a house.

Speaker 3 (02:20:06):
They're so yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:20:08):
But he's like he's Buffalo Bill and they're all in
the pit, you know what I mean. It's stuff like
that that's dark. Yo, it's crazy. It's so funny though
every year you always look forward to it and it's
like fall down funny. But I just keep thinking of
those poor you know, his daughters are like college age now,
you know, but and his wife are just like, there's

(02:20:30):
so much more sophisticated and civilized than he is.

Speaker 3 (02:20:34):
You know, he's like, still he's the president of the frat.

Speaker 2 (02:20:38):
Still he's coming in going, here's what we're gonna do,
and they're like, oh Jesus no.

Speaker 3 (02:20:43):
But now with photoshop, you know, I think he's like able.

Speaker 2 (02:20:46):
To do a little bit more and you know, there's
no actual costuming. He's just like, I need your face
to look like this, and then he gets the perfect picture.
It's a little easier on that.

Speaker 11 (02:20:54):
Ah, but he went technical on us.

Speaker 2 (02:20:58):
Yeah, like everybody else. GI he's getting a yeah I
on your Christmas card. I don't know. Yeah, everything is.
I saw a commercial for a well known fast food place.
So shall we say that was all AI that was

(02:21:18):
getting thrown around? Did you see that? Abby? But go ahead?
It genuinely looked like slop like, it looked bad and
they are running it around the world, And I thought,
like are we going to accept a lesser product going forward?

Speaker 3 (02:21:36):
And there is no reason to believe we won't.

Speaker 2 (02:21:39):
And the reason is because that I think that is
after COVID, all of a sudden, broadcast sensibilities went out
the window. ESPN has people in their attic all day
on microphes. They're in and out entire time, you know
what I mean, Like Billy's a guest right now doing this,
but he's not a feature part of the show. There

(02:21:59):
are people are not like the entire show. There are
people doing entire shows. They're not even at work. Tony
Kornheiser sitting up in his you know, study right doing
the show from there. And the evening news is running
footage that people filmed on their phones, like they used
to not even put a picture that a viewers sent
in without it being like, you know, John z and

(02:22:21):
Z from Doo Boys sent us this picture of the
lovely foliage.

Speaker 3 (02:22:26):
You know it would be once in a blue moon.

Speaker 2 (02:22:28):
Now it's like the crux of the news, and we
keep accepting lesser standards. So the people that own the
companies are like, well, why would we pay for all
that infrastructure to make it good when people don't care
So that's why I'm worried about AI is that it
looks bad.

Speaker 3 (02:22:42):
It's definitely not as good. But do people care?

Speaker 9 (02:22:46):
Okay, So Billy and I had this conversation though, right
before we got into the burg.

Speaker 2 (02:22:51):
We were just talking about this I had.

Speaker 9 (02:22:53):
There was a little news segment this morning as I
was getting ready about how there's a boom in people
getting back into film photography and even how that's like
a hot gift this year.

Speaker 2 (02:23:04):
Well, it's pretty good gift idea.

Speaker 28 (02:23:06):
Because people are kind of getting sick of having this
bank of photos in their phone that either they never
really look at but also they can't touch, and also.

Speaker 2 (02:23:17):
Like there's kind of nothing to it.

Speaker 9 (02:23:19):
It doesn't like really cost you anything to take a
thousand photos right, And there's like something about the moment
of taking a photo and getting it right and then
developing the film. And this is a younger generation that
wants that right. There's an accountability to it, there's a
risk to it. They're feeling something. I have so much
hope for that, I.

Speaker 2 (02:23:39):
Really really do. I might be alone, I know, but
it's the same thing.

Speaker 9 (02:23:44):
It's the same movement of people that want final and
they want to hold something, And it's just like, I
think that to your point, Randy, you keep seeing that
over and over again, and you keep.

Speaker 2 (02:23:54):
Going, why doesn't it make me fail anything?

Speaker 9 (02:23:57):
And people just keep getting reiterated with this nothingness, and
then they will get yeah, they will get pushed.

Speaker 2 (02:24:04):
Toward I want to go outside. I'm in favorite.

Speaker 11 (02:24:08):
I hope, man, Yeah, me too, I like, I hope.
Like I said my prayers every night before I go
to bed, let the internet become.

Speaker 27 (02:24:17):
So ridiculous that it implodes, That's what. And we're going
to be getting close because you almost don't believe anything now.
And I think that's the only thing that's going to
make us look up again is when everybody, no matter
what you think, realizes I can't find the truth. I
can't find anything real. I'm done being shocked. I'm going
to a concert and let's hope that comes back.

Speaker 3 (02:24:37):
I don't know, Billy.

Speaker 2 (02:24:38):
There's plenty of people who see a video of a
gorilla hanging onto a doorknob getting sucked up into a
tornado and then asking, just real, America's hand.

Speaker 8 (02:24:48):
That's.

Speaker 11 (02:24:53):
An judy for real?

Speaker 3 (02:24:59):
What else you got to have?

Speaker 2 (02:24:59):
You? All right?

Speaker 9 (02:25:01):
Actually, I wanted to bring this up because there is
a new Netflix documentary Kidnapped Elizabeth Smart, which revisits the
two thousand and two abduction that became one of the
nation's most closely followed missing person's case, telling the story
in Elizabeth's own words, and she explained that after her
rescue that she didn't want to talk about what happened
with anybody, but sharing her experience as an adult became

(02:25:23):
a way to reclaim her narrative. And I was going
through this and I know that this was, like, you know,
obviously a story that really kind of gripped everybody, And
you know, I was thinking, like, we know so much now,
we see so much on social media that you kind
of like wonder about these kind of abduction stories, like
is this ever like something like we protect our children
so much that you kind of like, I don't know
that this is something that we hear about as much.

(02:25:47):
I had a holiday party in my neighborhood this weekend,
and I think that my kid knows everything about stranger danger.

Speaker 2 (02:25:54):
Right, we have this holiday party.

Speaker 9 (02:25:55):
They got a food truck, they had a Santa, they
had little crafts and everything.

Speaker 2 (02:26:00):
And one creepy guy walking around.

Speaker 9 (02:26:03):
No, it was it was it was beautifully planned. I
could not believe that the neighborhood pulled this all together.
But at one point I noticed that Santa was kind
of pied piper ing and taking all the kids off
into like a wooded area by himself, whoa to have

(02:26:24):
a snowball fight? And I was I was at the
food truck with the other adults and we were having like,
you know, like these chi lattes and hot cocoas and everything.

Speaker 2 (02:26:31):
And I went which which neighbor by the way, I
can't I can't.

Speaker 9 (02:26:35):
Tell who's who anymore, who's in the Santa costume?

Speaker 2 (02:26:38):
And they're like they hired somebody.

Speaker 9 (02:26:41):
I'm like, hey, guys, let's watch the kids.

Speaker 2 (02:26:49):
John Wayne Santa over there, guys. It was so easy.
He had a white van with Sleigh written on it.

Speaker 11 (02:26:59):
They all big red like it still looked like the
blood was running.

Speaker 2 (02:27:05):
Exactly, but they followed him like it was nothing.

Speaker 3 (02:27:08):
Well, because he was Santa, I know that's on you,
not on the kids.

Speaker 9 (02:27:11):
No. Well, I started following and I'm standing and I'm watching,
and then one of the other dads like walked over
and was like, hey, sweetheart, come over here just for
a second. We're probably gonna go soon, and she starts
bawling her eyes out and he's like, hey, we don't
really know Santa, And.

Speaker 2 (02:27:26):
She said, what are you talking about? Of course we
know Santa.

Speaker 9 (02:27:31):
Navigate me through this, Riddle me this. What was the
parental Like, what do you do in that scenario?

Speaker 11 (02:27:39):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (02:27:40):
I think it's hilarious that you guys hired a Santa
who tried to steal the kids. He's one of Santa's
helper Yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 11 (02:27:47):
I really loved Abbes.

Speaker 2 (02:27:49):
Yo.

Speaker 11 (02:27:52):
That was straight Pittsburgh right there. Yeah, yo, yo, yo, Shana.
Where are you from the part of a shitty?

Speaker 2 (02:27:59):
Are you from?

Speaker 11 (02:28:01):
Chris Kringle? That was the sideline yell? I mean that was.

Speaker 2 (02:28:08):
Sand has been tracking a reindeer for the last three
days after he shot him the other day. He kid,
want to go help me. There's some blood speckles in
the snow.

Speaker 11 (02:28:17):
You guys want to drink the blood of.

Speaker 8 (02:28:21):
What?

Speaker 2 (02:28:22):
I just wanted Candy, We're gonna eat Rudolph's heart what.
He just starts doing some pagan ritual Jesus get.

Speaker 27 (02:28:32):
Rid of the burrow, and then the Burrow Lives character
goes there was nothing left to do but get the
women and children.

Speaker 2 (02:28:41):
He's just doing that little sweeping move that the Burro
Lives thing does to move. Doesn't have legs, It just
kind of like floats around like it hovers. Then you're like,
what isn't this chai tea? Is this ayahuasca? Burl? Did
you dose us? We got dosed?

Speaker 27 (02:28:59):
Hold this whole clations seem like a bad dose. It
seems like a microdose thing that those old clamations.

Speaker 11 (02:29:06):
But I love them all.

Speaker 27 (02:29:07):
I love There is a something warm about him when
you watch him.

Speaker 2 (02:29:13):
I love him.

Speaker 13 (02:29:14):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:29:14):
The ranking in Bass is.

Speaker 2 (02:29:16):
The production team that think that's right, very good. But
on the Chair Company, we were talking about Tim Robinson's
one of the side little jokes is I.

Speaker 11 (02:29:24):
Haven't seen this is that good? Is that good show?

Speaker 2 (02:29:27):
If you want? He says it's cringey too. Yeah. But
his son, who's like a star backtball player, says he
wants to stop playing basketball, and uh, you know he's
he was headed forst scholarship. His heart's not in it.
And he's like, okay, buddy, well what do you want
to do? And he's like stop animation and he's like,
you mean, like Rudolph, He's like, well, it's not it's
not all like Rudolph and so he's okay. But that's

(02:29:48):
what I know, is like Rudolph and stuff. And it's
usually just like the whole gist of them is a
Santa can't do it, can't do it. Maybe last s
like everyone was like, hey, he's not gonna do it
this year.

Speaker 11 (02:30:03):
I can't do it, and.

Speaker 2 (02:30:04):
They well, we gotta rescue, you know. Every one of
them is essentially Santa can't do it, you know, but
they are great. The heat Miser one, which one is that?
The one that has the heat Miser? And I'm mister
yeah miser.

Speaker 11 (02:30:18):
Yeah, him and mister Freeze become friends, remember, Yeah?

Speaker 27 (02:30:22):
What which one is is that? That's not Rudolph that's
coming to Tom.

Speaker 3 (02:30:26):
Yes, I think you're right.

Speaker 2 (02:30:27):
And that's what because that's the one that has Chris
Kringle when he's like younger.

Speaker 3 (02:30:31):
Yes, she looks like Conan O'Brien.

Speaker 2 (02:30:34):
He does the year with.

Speaker 27 (02:30:41):
Yeah, she has to fatten them up, that's right, missus,
clause us to fatten him up, dumb With the first.

Speaker 11 (02:30:50):
I'm gonna make.

Speaker 27 (02:30:50):
Patty start saying that when I come to the table,
I want to hear eat Papa. That's what I want
to hear. That's my that's gonna be a coloration.

Speaker 2 (02:31:00):
Well, the Steelers fed on Ravens this past Sunday.

Speaker 27 (02:31:04):
That yeah, Dave, it's just enough hope to get disappointed
by Miam.

Speaker 2 (02:31:08):
Stop it, no, you forget, Yeah, Jacob, don't laugh at that.
This is look, we have changed our attitude. It's nothing
but positivity. Aaron Rodgers is leading us to the promised Land.

Speaker 27 (02:31:21):
I'm on Beta Blockers from my heart right now. I
gotta double down on Sundays. I gotta double that dust
just to get through this.

Speaker 11 (02:31:28):
But I'm dying.

Speaker 3 (02:31:29):
You gotta put some extra in your buffalo chicken dip.

Speaker 27 (02:31:32):
Yeah, I put him been one of those those pepper crackers,
and I just ship bea blockers over there so I
can get through these games.

Speaker 11 (02:31:43):
My god.

Speaker 2 (02:31:44):
Pursuit is coming in next with your sports on DV.

Speaker 25 (02:31:48):
Live from the Don's Appliance Studios where Pittsburgh shops for
Appliance is.

Speaker 2 (02:31:52):
This is w d V Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (02:31:56):
And Mike pursuita joining us here now on DVE what.

Speaker 2 (02:32:00):
I brought to you by Bridge Appliance.

Speaker 16 (02:32:02):
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel characterized his running back Devon
eighth Chan.

Speaker 2 (02:32:07):
As quote highly motivated.

Speaker 16 (02:32:09):
To play unquote looking ahead to the Dolphins visit to
Akrosher Stadium this coming Monday night. Eh Chan was running
through the New York Jets seven carries for ninety two
yards and then he left the game with a rib injury.
He has been tearing it up of late. The Dolphins
have been tearing it up of late. They'll come to
town riding a four game winning streak and having won

(02:32:31):
five of six after starting the season one and six.

Speaker 2 (02:32:35):
Yeah, it's gonna be really embarrassing if Mike Tomlin caps
off beating the Ravens by losing the Howdie duty on
Monday night.

Speaker 27 (02:32:42):
Well, you know that guy, the head coach of the Dolphins,
reminds me that little tiny, brainy chicken guy that used
to follow Foghorn like Horner.

Speaker 2 (02:32:53):
I say, I said, how did you do that about
a boy?

Speaker 11 (02:32:56):
I don't like baseball. I'm not a I'm gonna look.

Speaker 2 (02:33:02):
He writes out the mathematical formula for how he made
it happen.

Speaker 11 (02:33:04):
Yeah, exactly. You know.

Speaker 16 (02:33:07):
They fired their GM Chris career on October the thirty first,
after falling the one in six via an embarrassing loss
to Cleveland, as if there's any other kind. Yes, haven't
lost since excuse me, was after the Baltimore game, not
the Cleveland game.

Speaker 2 (02:33:25):
Same thing, but McDaniel at that time was considered to
be toast. Yes, they're they're just not firing them with
the GM because they just don't want to have to
have somebody else coach the team the rest of the year.
These guys have it together.

Speaker 16 (02:33:38):
And I mentioned today it's it's hard to tell watching
the Jets be so non competitive against the Dolphins, but
that's that doesn't mean Miami's not executing. And it was
interesting during the CBS broadcast of that Dolphins Jets game.
Dede Kinkobwalla was the sideline reporter and she did a
little hit on McDaniel basically what changed, And they said

(02:34:02):
when they fell to one and six, he had a
meeting with the captains and the team's leadership council and
they basically decided less is more.

Speaker 2 (02:34:10):
They're calling it conviction.

Speaker 11 (02:34:17):
That's my tour name.

Speaker 16 (02:34:18):
Yeah, they're calling it conviction over perfection. And they've shortened
the time of the meetings and they're only giving the
players what they consider to be critical information.

Speaker 2 (02:34:30):
Like you block him. You know, they're not overloading these
guys and spend it all day going over it and
and the team is responding and they're playing much better.

Speaker 12 (02:34:40):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:34:41):
One of the things I jotted down in my notes,
when you have Tyreek Hill and the team, well he's
not on there now because you couldn't say conviction over.

Speaker 16 (02:34:56):
Perfection probably, but you know, you can tell they're having
a good time winning. They got the nucleus thing going.
They like winning. It's like better than losing, right, and
they're enjoying playing. One of the things I wrote down
in my notes was they have a variety of well
choreographed touchdown celebration because I mean, it was a big

(02:35:18):
the first three drives against the Jets. They got it
in the end zone and they did something different every time,
and it was I couldn't tell what they were spoofing,
but it was pretty involved.

Speaker 2 (02:35:26):
Like, yeah, how I always wonder about when they practice
that and when they you know, it's like a mic
Lane gold call.

Speaker 3 (02:35:31):
How do you know which one to pull out?

Speaker 22 (02:35:32):
You know?

Speaker 2 (02:35:33):
But it's I mean there's a there's an energy with
that team now, yeah, and they're gonna be Uh, this
is not a layup.

Speaker 27 (02:35:41):
They're gonna be pesky. Now they're gonna be pesky. I agree,
They're gonna wear home for it.

Speaker 16 (02:35:45):
Yeah, and they're gonna try to run the ball down
the Steelers throats, and they're gonna they're gonna get them
all kind of eye candy, all kinds of motions and
shifts and loaded backfields and weird looking. Not weird looking,
but formations that you don't normally see. Yeah, and the
Steelers are gonna have to deal with it. Is this
is a pretty big well.

Speaker 2 (02:36:05):
Earlier in the season, this seemed like a layup. It
is anything but correct.

Speaker 16 (02:36:09):
And I was gonna say this is a big week
for the coaches. Every week's a big week for the coaches.
But the Steelers are gonna have to be well prepared.
You heard Aaron Rodgers after the Ravens game talk about
how well they prepared and practiced. They better be on
their details with this crap or they're gonna look silly.

Speaker 2 (02:36:26):
Losing to the Dolphins does make you look silly, even
though they've turned it around to us. Should not be
able to come into akor sure and two is like
a passenger right now. He just handed off. Yeah, they'll
say something stupid after the game and get back after
it again. Hand it off, throat short.

Speaker 16 (02:36:44):
You know nothing that you think, Oh my god, these
guys have a great quarterback.

Speaker 2 (02:36:50):
But they're not turning the ball over either.

Speaker 16 (02:36:51):
In this winning streak of Theirs four games, they've gotten
ten takeaways and only three giveaways. So they're plus seven
in four games, which is almost plus two a game,
which is it's a big edge plus to a game.

Speaker 6 (02:37:04):
As it's cold this week, as Pittsburgh is, we need
to embrace the cold because that could be what does
it for Tua?

Speaker 2 (02:37:09):
You know, the Miami Dolphins.

Speaker 16 (02:37:11):
I'm glad you brought that up because it might be Uh,
Tua when it's forty six degrees or colder is not good?
He uh is uh? He beat the Jets when it
was forty three degrees. That was his first win when
it was colder than forty three.

Speaker 11 (02:37:35):
What are we looking at for Sunday, Mike.

Speaker 2 (02:37:38):
If it's anything like it is today, it's going to
be cold. Well, anytime I think about money, the Miami
Dolphins coming to Pittsburgh and playing in the cold, I
think of this play second and nine could play action.
Moore find some time he gets away from tow it,
here comes Harrison chasing. Oh my goodness, more is absolutely rad.

(02:37:58):
I don't know he's going to get up. Oh Matt
Moore getting bud dupreed in the second quarter of that
game in.

Speaker 3 (02:38:07):
Was that two thousand and fifteen?

Speaker 2 (02:38:09):
That was the playoff game? Yes, it was? Is the
wild card game here in fifteen or sixteen something like that.
That was the run was sixteen.

Speaker 19 (02:38:16):
Next week they beat Kansas City week after they lost
to New England.

Speaker 2 (02:38:20):
Okay, the one where Lev took himself out of the
game because he was he's hurt. Yeah, capping his illustrious career. Anyways,
that's what I want to see, big hits. I'm leaving
on a two because that poor girl die. Yeah again
like that. His head will fly through the uprights if
you hit him the way the bud dupre hit mantains.

Speaker 3 (02:38:41):
I don't you should.

Speaker 2 (02:38:43):
I mean something that Hardbosh should bring up with the
committee next year. But uh, what's the line right now
on that game? I have not looked. I got I
thought it was gonna be Steelers minus five and.

Speaker 19 (02:38:55):
A half last night, Steelers minus three.

Speaker 2 (02:38:58):
That's it.

Speaker 16 (02:39:00):
Yeah, So that's basic goal. That's your home. So they're
saying the two teams are either. They're saying it's a
pick them. Yeah, it's just you know, given what we've
seen from the Steelers, sounds about right.

Speaker 2 (02:39:11):
Yeah. I hate admitting that, but you are right. Let
me do a quick break and we'll come back and
one more little visit with Billy Gardell. Here life from
Los Angeles, California. With his least you could do. Turn
the lights on on your Christmas tree behind you? You
look like him.

Speaker 7 (02:39:25):
Man.

Speaker 27 (02:39:26):
Listen, that comes on automatically at seven am. It's six
forty two out here. That starts rolling. Everything lights up
on a timer at seven am. It becomes a winter wonderland.
Just as Patty walks down the steps and she goes,
did you make the coffee?

Speaker 2 (02:39:42):
Does the train start at seven two?

Speaker 11 (02:39:44):
No?

Speaker 27 (02:39:45):
No, the training you have to put on manually. I'm
only allowed to play with that after four because she
doesn't like the noise.

Speaker 2 (02:39:51):
Do you put the liquid smoke in the thing so
that it blows smoke when it goes wrong?

Speaker 27 (02:39:55):
It not only blows liquid smoke, but it smells like
hot cocoa.

Speaker 2 (02:39:59):
Oh, mine would smell like something else, but hatcoco is
also good.

Speaker 11 (02:40:04):
Those days are over.

Speaker 7 (02:40:05):
So I talked about if you're.

Speaker 14 (02:40:06):
Troubling on the steering wheel, that he's doing his job.
Chad Tyson rocks Pittsburgh weekday afternoons on DV. He also
has a reloaded cut from the DV Morning Show and
Sports News Afternoons with Chad Tyson on dv E.

Speaker 3 (02:40:25):
It's the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (02:40:27):
Our buddy Tad Whistle hanging out with us here at
live in studio and Billy Gardell live from Los Angeles, California.
And you know, I told you during the break, you
don't have to come on with us in the morning
when you have a late night, And you had another
one of them late nights last night he was on.

Speaker 11 (02:40:43):
Stage, had a good show. Yeah, who was on the
stage of the pretty good crew. And first of all,
I like coming on in the morning. I don't want
to torch you guys in the afternoon. One thing you learn,
never torture radio people in the afternoons the only time
they have to themselves. So I wouldn't do that.

Speaker 27 (02:40:56):
But last night I was at the Improva, had a
great shown. It was like the it was like the
way back Machine. It was it was me Daryl Hammond,
Arcinio Hall, and Nicki Glacier popped out. Oh man, So
that was a really good show at the m problem wasn't.
I was really glad to be a part of it
because this weekend I had a tough one. I was
at a casino. Me and Joey O'Connell from Penhills went

(02:41:18):
up to a casino in Susanville, California. And to get
there it man, it was planes, trains and automobiles. We
had to fly into Reno and then drive ninety miles
up into this little town of twelve thousand where this
casino was. And we had a classic O'Connell Guardell moment
because afterwards we were trying to get something to eat
and there's nothing open but to drive through, and we

(02:41:39):
were going back and forth about, well, there's a Burger
King and they got onion rings, but there's a Wendy's
and that's probably a better burger.

Speaker 11 (02:41:47):
So we had them both like it was the old days.

Speaker 27 (02:41:50):
That was right, because we went through Wendy's and got
the burger and Joe didn't want to get fries, so
we got the baked potato. Yeah, and then we drove
across the into the Burger King, and as we pulled
up to the window, he had the potato from Wendy's
in his hands while we were eating. We had a
bag of Wendy's while we were ordering Burger King. It's

(02:42:11):
a good thing we're not on board all the time together,
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (02:42:15):
So you like Butcher Sundance knocking off two safs in
one run. I think we can knock them both down
if we go. Now, who are those guys?

Speaker 11 (02:42:26):
We're in a tights pot, We're the Tights.

Speaker 2 (02:42:30):
But I know Christmas is like your time, Like this
is your holiday.

Speaker 27 (02:42:35):
There are Thanksgivings. My time, that's my kickoff is Thanksgiving.

Speaker 11 (02:42:38):
That's my time.

Speaker 3 (02:42:39):
But you kick off Christmas Thanksgiving?

Speaker 11 (02:42:41):
I do. I do.

Speaker 27 (02:42:42):
I put the tree up and the train all that
starts the day before Thanksgiving at my house and I
try to and I'll run it until Patty goes, okay,
take it down. So I think I got her to
January sixteenth once. That's my record. That's as far out
as I got her.

Speaker 2 (02:42:57):
Have you started watching Christmas movies yet?

Speaker 11 (02:43:00):
I have? Yeah, I got a few. I did have. Yeah,
I'm like you. I pop them on and I like
one on. Yeah, me too.

Speaker 27 (02:43:07):
I don't like the newer stuff and I, of course,
as we get closer to the holiday, we have a
schedule like Christmas Eve in this house for the last
twenty years, Will's entire life is the Polar Express and
then die hard. We don't believe it's Christmas in this
house until Hans Kruberg goes off to knock a tummy
plasm that that signifies Christmas for me, and uh, and

(02:43:28):
then leading up to it, we like to we like
to put some of our classics on. I got to
watch the the Charlie Brown Christmas.

Speaker 11 (02:43:34):
Gotta watch.

Speaker 3 (02:43:36):
The fiftieth or fiftieth? What anniversary?

Speaker 2 (02:43:39):
Is it? The sixtieth anniversary of Charlie Brown. I don't know.
I sent it to you earlier. Abbie.

Speaker 11 (02:43:43):
It's like, uh, that's how listen.

Speaker 27 (02:43:45):
That's how Patty got me to wear that Apple Watch
thing because it monitors my heart. I gotta check my
KG once in a while. That's how she got that
Apple Watch on my wrists. She's like, look, you could
put Snoopy on the front of it. You like Snoopy?
So do you like Snoopy's how I like? She jumps

(02:44:07):
right after he raked it. I don't know why he
does that. It's baffling to me.

Speaker 2 (02:44:11):
That whole the whole story of that Christmas, the Charlie
Brown Christmas is crazy too.

Speaker 3 (02:44:16):
Like they I think Coca Cola pay.

Speaker 2 (02:44:19):
For it originally and they didn't want that biblical aspect
of it. At the end, you know where he like
reads the Bible passage, which just think about that, Like
sixty years ago they're like, Oh, we don't want to
be overly religious. Now they'd be like, there needs to
be more Bible. We need lots more Bible in there.

Speaker 27 (02:44:38):
They're gonna get that. They're gonna get the guys from
south Park to add a bunch of characters in the
car is going to join the Peanuts gang.

Speaker 2 (02:44:48):
I love the Peanuts. It was it was such like
a hilarious group of comfortable but like it had a
weird way of representing all kinds of different people in
the archetype of these these little kids representing all those
different archetypes. A slob guy, exactly every crew has got
a slob guy.

Speaker 11 (02:45:07):
That's a big pen. You gotta have pig pen. That's
exactly right.

following him. He's like, they're never going to recognize me,
and like, hey, pig Pen, now you're filthy disgusting.

wardrobe guy Anton, great dude. One Christmas, took a picture
of me sitting in a director's chair. I was in
my we were outside and I was in my cop uniform,
and I had a cigarette in my mouth and I

(02:48:50):

and he printed that on a T shirt and he
had the whole crew come out at rehearsal.

It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought

Speaker 2 (02:50:35):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 21 (02:50:36):
The Steelers took over first place in the anc Nors Sunday,
defeating the Ravens twenty seven to twenty two in Baltimore,
and again that the Steelers were out gained and out possessed,
but came up with more plays than the big.

Speaker 7 (02:50:45):
Moments to escape Maryland with a win.

Speaker 21 (02:50:47):
A couple of those big moments came on the defensive
side of the ball and were authored by cornerback James Pierre,
linebacker Patrick Queen, and outside linebacker Alex Higsmith. James Pierre,
who has been a pleasant surprise for the Steelers this
year at corner, made an the rest of one handed
interception of Lamar Jackson in the first half for the
game's only turnover, which the Steelers would convert into three points.

Speaker 7 (02:51:06):
Patrick Queen came up with a huge pass.

Speaker 21 (02:51:08):
Breakup on tight end Mark Andrews on fourth down with
the Ravens at the Steelers goal line threatening to take
the lead late in the fourth quarter, and he also
chipped in seven tackles while clearly playing through an injury.

Speaker 7 (02:51:17):
But Alex Heismith was perhaps.

Speaker 21 (02:51:19):
The man of the match for the Steelers on defense,
having seven tackles, three tackles for the lost, two quarterback hits,
and the walkoff sack of Lamar Jackson to seal the
victory for Pittsburgh. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for
the Steelers defense, though, as they surrendered over two hundred
yards rushing for the second straight week, and seeing as
the Steelers' next opponent, the Miami Dolphins, just ran for
two hundred and thirty nine yards this past Sunday, and

(02:51:39):
that's something that the Steelers need to improve.

Speaker 7 (02:51:41):
In in a hurry. I'm Tom Opframan with the Steelers Report.
