go home.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
There's gonna be there's gonna be chairs that have to
be thrown out. There's a good time to buy stock
in office supplies, is what I really think. Or we
might just go right back to the you know what,
let's all work from home again. Let's work from home
until we stop diarrheaing explosively.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Anyways, I was gonna say it.

It's not that it's not contagious. No, you're not giving
it to somebody else. But you can't get away from
the toilet.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Brandy Bellman and the DV Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I thought we were joking about that, and now the
whole country knows what's going on.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
I'm scared to let us.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Uh well, all right, like they're saying, stay away from
it altogether. If you cook it, you should be fine,
but it's so bad if you get it. It's not
like hilarious I have diarrhea. No, it's like go to
the hospital diarrhea sometimes. You know what I mean, guys,
this is go to the hospital.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Diary is different?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Uh No.

Speaker 7 (01:51):
I the thing about bag salads and they're not sure
what leafy greens it, you know, impacts and everything. And
I just had kale a couple of days ago, and
now like waiting for the timer to go off.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, I ate so much fruit and kale, not kale
and salad and veggies this weekend. I'm sure it's only
a moment before the explosive diarrhea comes for me. I
do not fear the explosive diarrhea, for it comes for
all men. Shooty in sales gone.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Gone.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Uh yeah, you know, eat meat for a while. Let's
just all go carnivore and hope for the best. Last night,
we did our Common Era Pittsburgh Power Ballad Challenge finale,
and we taped it so that you can hear it
on Friday morning.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
We want to do a bunch of post edits on it.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
It was just tremendous and I just want to thank
the judges, first and foremost Mark Madden, who was amazing.
Red Beach, the one on only Red Beach from White
Snake Winger you named Dawkin. He's played with everybody, and
of course John Bellen from Gene the Werewolf who also

(03:13):
plays it ReBs solo outfit, and they are going to
be playing out at South Park Amphitheater Friday night of
Labor Day weekend, just doing all eighties rockers that it's
going to be a great time. He's got the bass
player from Dawkin. I'm not sure what that guy's name is.
I thought they were all named Dawkin, like the Ramones,
Darryl Dawkin, Chocolate Thunder. He's on bass. And anyways, thanks

(03:38):
to the contestants who were Kevin Yurig, Frank Montleone and
kJ Devlin.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yep, yeah, good job. Well maybe my memory is not
completely gassed. That was a lot of fun last night.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
It was my first one and it was a blast,
very what.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Kind of blast. There was loose salad in the break room.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Yeah, nobody touched that. I mean, I didn't see anybody
eating it to do.

Speaker 8 (04:08):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
They they brought us, you know, pizza and salad, and
I think people just looked at the salad and saw
that as impending sphincter doom. And they were, by the way,
impending sphincter doom in the coffee house this Friday, And.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
So nobody wanted to take a chance. Who take a
chance on the salad. Nobody was gonna do that. Don't
you dare read the salad? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Yeah, I thought it was like a bit. I thought
the salad was like prop salad because it seemed so
tone deaf to even put it out there.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
We set up a camera to see if anybody would
eat the poopy salad.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
In this salad, it's not like it's possible. It has
cyclists prices, it does confirm. Yeah, there's like an.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Edit of one of our interns like shaking it on
the salad whe with this he's like laughing like jackass. Anyways,
I'm sure it's gonna be fine. We're all gonna be
fine with our diarrhea. Abby's got your news right now.
Oh yeah, thanks to everybody who came out to But
just a great crowd of people too, like.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Everyone in they brought. It was like a real proper show.
It was fun.

Speaker 7 (05:17):
Yeah, everybody had a fan club, yes they did.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
That was sweet.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (05:21):
People would like get up and hug their you know,
whoever they came to support last night.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
They'd get up.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
They'd be like, you did such a good job, Like, oh.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Wow, this is really sweet. This has turned into something cute.
You guys were all really funny too.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
It was.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
It was a really good time. You're gonna like that.
We'll rebroadcast at Friday morning. I'm not sure, you know.
I think we're gonna do like half a show Friday,
and that will be half the show. That doesn't matter
right now, we're all worried about diarrhea. Abby's got the news.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
News this hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store.
Mostly sunny, very hot. Caution advice if you're gonna be
outside for extended periods of time. The high today is
ninety seven. National Weather Service in Moon is forecasting at
least four days this week with tip ninety degrees, and
there have been five so far this year, which is
actually down from seventeen last year. This week, there are

(06:08):
again four days expected to reach ninety but the worst
is going to be tomorrow, when the mercury will climb
to at least ninety eight degrees, sparing a major heat
risk according to the National Weather Services online tool Forecast,
but it means that the weather will be a factor
for anybody without access to cooling systems or proper hydration.
So the remainder of the week is going to pose
a moderate heat risk according to the tool.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
You know, it's fun if your AC breaks and you
have explosive diarrhea. Just say goodbye, right and it's ninety
seven degrees.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah, just say goodbye. Just be done with it.

Speaker 7 (06:43):
Nearly eighteen thousand more of Akroscher Stadium's original original seats
will be replaced following the upcoming season. The Pittsburgh Sports
and Exhibition Authority on Thursday approved a reimbursement of five
million dollars to the Steelers affiliated PSSI Stadium Corp. To
pay for seventeen thousand seats and associated concrete work. In

(07:03):
April of twenty twenty five, they replaced fifty eight thousand
seats that they said or they requested that rather, and
then that's going to occur in phases over the next
four years. But that means that all of these seats
that had a condition assessment firm, which is called Stantech.
They reported that multiple seats have had issues over the

(07:24):
last five years. So they're going to get rid of
twenty two thousand seats in the upper level, East, upper
Level West, and North Club of the stadium and that
is supposed to be done before this upcoming season.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, better for your butt.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
They would piss me off if I was paying that
much for a seat and it was busted.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
Yeah, those seats that are being replaced our original to
the stadium, which opened up in two thousand and one,
so they've probably seen quite a bit already. Yeah, kind
of forget how time time passes.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well, consider this Three Rivers Stadium seemed like it was
there for ever ver.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
And it was only there for thirty years and we're
four years away from that. Yeah ooh with a forsure.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Wow. I know when you think of three of our
statement like, oh, yeah, well, the dinosaurs were there, uh,
you know, cavemen roamed through the stadium of course back
in the day, and then in you know, two thousand,
we finally got rid of it.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Nope, No, that's how quickly time moves.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
Oh all right, remember when everyone used to update their
status on social media. I don't know if you've noticed,
but it's taken a noseedive. A new survey from a
privacy company found fifty five percent of Americans say maintaining
their social media presence now feels like more work instead
of fun. More than half say that they're posting less
than they did five years ago, and many are being

(08:47):
much more selective about what they share. The biggest reasons
that people say they're pulling back are political arguments, endless
doom scrolling, and concerns about privacy.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, I just think people are beaten down. You know,
every time you post something, somebody comes at you. If
you change your social if you change your status at all,
someone's gonna comment.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
You're just risking fighting all the time. No matter what it.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Is, it's not social. Media isn't social anymore.

Speaker 7 (09:22):
No, it's it's mostly you're following media again, right, So
like you're just following like either creator accounts that are
feeding you something, you're following news. So it's lost that
early days of like either MySpace, Facebook, all that kind
of stuff where people actually were using the app to

(09:46):
communicate with each other. Yeah, you're not really connecting with people,
like maybe you follow them and you're like half stocking them, but.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Like it is weird, like when I went home last
week and I was an eerie for a week and
people have not seen in a long time and they
know everything about you, and that is such a weird feeling. Hey,
how'd your comedy fest go? I'm like, I haven't talked
to you in twenty years. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Like its online, and I know that that's not a
new observation, but it'll never kind of not feel weird

(10:15):
to me that people know. Like, and one woman was like, well,
you know you've seen our kids on social media, right,
And I'm like, I haven't.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I just well, you'll be creepier if I said, yeah,
oh yeah, oh I've seen them all right, yeah, uncle.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Watching That's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I was like, I actually don't know what your kids
look like, but I'm sure they're adorable.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's wild though.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
I don't feel like I have ever needed to go
to a class reunion because there's been social media since
you know, mid two thousands that like we were using
like more regularly, but like, I know what everybody looks like,
I know what you're doing if if we're connected or not,
you know, so, like I it's easy to check up
on people and it doesn't require the same or you

(11:03):
don't get that same hit and be like, hey, it's
a class reunion and be.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Like, oh my god, I didn't recognize you. It's like,
oh I did, and you like some really weird stuff.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
In the early days of Facebook, there was too many
people that I was like, I know too much about
what's going on with you. Remember John Staggerwald one time
sent me an email he was really upset with me
because I blocked him on Twitter. This is like a
long time ago, and he's like, you know, you could
have just reached out and talked to me. He didn't
have to block me on Twitter. And he goes, there
wasn't a very manly thing to do, or something like that.

(11:36):
And I was like, hey, John, FYI who. By the way,
I like John a lot. I don't agree with i
thing that he thinks or says about anything outside of sports,
and I disagree with a lot of what he has
to say about sports. But I've always liked John a
whole lot, and he is a smart and funny guy
when you're talking to him. And he sent me this

(11:56):
email mad at me that I blocked him. I was like, hey, John,
this I blocked you before there was a mute on
Twitter because you responded and fought to every person who
commented on anything I posted. And so my whole day

(12:16):
was looking at you fighting people, and it just was like,
I didn't want my whole day to be through the
prism of your perspective.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, you know, that's all.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
And I'm like, and you know, not very manly to
fight most He's like, ah, man, I'm sorry, blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
I mean we're you know, and it was good. It
was all no. John and I are I've known him forever.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
His step son and I are really good friends, and
I just I don't agree with anything he says.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
But it wasn't even that he was being political. Half
the time.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
He was just arguing with people, and I'm like, I
don't want to see you in my feed this much.
And sometimes your algorithm if you just hover on let's
say an old classmates profile for a second or something
that they posted, then they're like, oh, you want to
see more of Adrian's med You know, you're like, I don't,
Actually I don't. Yeah, so that's a weird thing too.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 7 (13:11):
People struggling to lose weight by focusing on calorie counting
may want to consider intermittent fasting. A new study out
of University of Adelaide shows that both methods led to
similar weight loss. People who took part in the studies
say that they got results through intermittent fasting without the
work of constantly monitoring their eating. More than two hundred

(13:31):
obese adults took part in the year and a half
long study.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, I think that there's probably a lot of benefits
of doing that. I mean, I didn't eat yesterday and
I had like a biass workout, and it is remarkable
the difference in one day, just one day of not
really it's not that I didn't eat at all, I
just only ate.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
A little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, and it's like four pounds swing on the scale,
four pounds.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Mean, I had to be a lot of water, right,
this will probably a lot of booze from the weekend
that was sweated out or something.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Yeah, you got to keep I mean, you gotta eat something, right,
you got to keep the engine hummin Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Right now, what I recommend is a lot of leafy greens.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah you really want to lose light?

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah exactly, Yeah, tiber vegetables. Doctors recommend contracting a parasite.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
I really need to know if people are okay afterwards.
Like I know that it destroys your gut biome to
have any kind of extended period of time of diarrhea
or vomiting, like it's going to do that.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
But I need to know, like in.

Speaker 7 (14:38):
The same way when people would get COVID and then
they'd get long COVID, right, like you'd just be like,
what happens later?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
That's what I'm asking same thing. This can go on
for months. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Now here's the other other part of that. It's not
a virus. You can keep getting it. Yeah, nice, go
back to that well whenever you want to. Yeah, very cool.
So it's not like, oh I already had it, I
can have you.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Know, there's no immunity.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
No, I'll have a broccoli shake.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
How long does it last?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
It depends.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I think that there are drugs that treat it, and
if you get on it early, it can knock it
out a little sooner. But they also said, and this
is maybe the more disturbing part of it. It's like
an acid flashback. You can have recurrences like from the
initial infection. So you can like, Okay, finally that was

(15:36):
seven days of hell. You know, I look like, you know,
I've been I'm emaciated. I can start putting some weight
back on now and eating some you know, high calorie meals,
and then three days after that.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Just you know, all over.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
And it's like, oh yeah, that was a little residual effect.
That was an aftershock. So that's part of it too.
And now it's not fun well because.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
Like parasites die, you know, eventually they.

Speaker 7 (16:08):
Die in side your stomach. They do a bunch of
other things. I learned too much yesterday.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
About a parasites. Oh yeah they are. Didn't meeting about
them being by the dashboard light, Yeah they are.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
You know.

Speaker 7 (16:21):
There was something about like how the parasites like at
first aren't doing much of anything, and then they they
do reproduce in you. They start they start because asexual reproduction,
and then it turns into just goal fashion sexual reproduction.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
And then one of the sites shows up with a pizza. Yeah,
pretty much do you come to this colon often.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
By the way, but then they have sex and then
they die. Oh all, all right, finally here Pittsburgh is
being named as one of the worst cities in the
nation when it comes to bedbug infestation.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
So really it's no good.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
The Steel City has landed at number nine on the.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Good Parasites They did.

Speaker 7 (17:19):
This was number nine on the twenty twenty sixth list
released by Pest Control Company.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Orcan they say?

Speaker 7 (17:25):
The rankings are based on metro areas where the most
commercial and residential bedbug treatments were performed over the last year.
Chicago's listed at number one with the highest infestation rate,
with Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland, and Indianapolis rounding out the
top five.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Well, there goes Frank. Oh he was a good one
for Frank in traffic. You got it now too.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
I worked with a guy who had to do bedbug
remediation last year.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
It's like eight grand, he said, really. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
My sister had to have it done at her house
in Los Angeles and it was a nightmare for her.
And it was because she found one bug and she'd
come back from New York where there was a big
infestation and she called a couple of people. They're like, yeah,
you gotta do everything. Yeah, you can't just do one room. No, right,
And then they came in and it was like it
was a week long ord deal or something like that,

(18:18):
and it was very expensive.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Can you see bed bugs?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah? I remember one time when we were out at camp.
We were uh, we were at Steelers training camp and
the bed bugs thing was going on big time many
years ago, and Val was like, please come into my room.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
I need you to look at this. And she's like,
is this a bed bug?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
And I was like, no, that's just an old fashioned
blood stain on your mattress from the person who was
here before.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
You don't worry about that. You're fine, You're oh thank god.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, bed bugs are nobling on though you don't want them.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
They're gonna bite you while your sleep. Oh yeah, you
get like a rash or something. It's like, yeah, they bite.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
A ton, Yeah, do a lot of biting. So it's like,
I don't think so, I think that's part of the problem.
I think they're like tiny and then you wake up
and you have like scabs.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
All over your legs or something like that.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
This is a fun segment, I know, poopy bear resites
and bed bugs.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Started off with poop yesterday. I'm just trying to keep okay.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
It's the national discourse. It's not like we are like right,
We're not scraping the bottom of the barrel. Everybody's wondering
what the hell is going on. I mean, I'm, you know, shocked.
We haven't even talked about Tom Sooner and Christina Pozitski
breaking up.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
That is shocking to me.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
There's so much to get to, like how bad the
home run derby was last night. I don't know if
you guys got a chance to see any of it,
but Netflix ran it. Netflix should never be allowed to
do anything sports related. And I don't know what happened
to Will Ferrel, but at some point Will Ferrell and
I love Will Ferrell. He's one of the all time greats.

(20:03):
Who doesn't I don't know what he is doing right now.
It's like he is half assing, rehashing old characters. It's
not even like he's trying to put a new spin
on it and trying hard, Like I feel like Mike

(20:24):
the Austin Powers he went down swinging with the Love Guru.
I mean, he really tried hard. He believed in it.
It was terrible and it ended his career for a while.
But this movie that Will Ferrell is pushing serious, it's
a series, I think, so. I mean, it just looks

(20:44):
like like a weak conglomeration of all the Will Ferrell
characters from everything he's done.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
And I don't understand that.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Like somebody on Twitter last night was comparing it to
They're like, look at how Seth Rogan's comedy career has advanced.
You know, he just won all of these Emmys for
that show The Studio. His new movie, i think it's
called The Invitation, is getting all kinds of accolades, and
they're like, his career has continued to move forward and
expand and grow, and like Farrell's has like gone backwards,

(21:16):
and it's like, you know, it's DeVault. I just don't
think of the same kind of comedians, So I don't
think it's fair. I think it's harder to do character
work as you get older, you know, And I think,
like Peter Seller saw that, like you have to become
a different kind of comedian because if you're doing character
stuff when you're an old person, it's like Jerry Lewis
in Hardly working where it's like, oh, look at that
old man being goofy, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (21:37):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of like Will Ferrell's most
serious acting role stranger than fiction.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah, that's it. Okay, he did a serious role, huh.
A couple of them.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Oh, him and John Riley did an entire serious movie,
and then him and Kristin wigg did a serious Hallmark
movie no jokes, because that was the joke joke. Yeah,
the joke was that there was no jokes payoff and
it was like burning Bed's kind of shoe, you know

(22:11):
what I mean. And he was like the abusive husband.
I'll see that, No nobody did.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
I'm thinking about as uh his SNL character, which I
think he did in the audition, the like the guy
the cookout, like you guys get off the show, get off,
But as an abusive husband in a lifetime movie, right,
I think that's kind of what it was.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
And it's hard to just watch him and think that that, Like,
you know, when he's being serious, you're.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Like, okay, yeah, are you really yelling?

Speaker 8 (22:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Is this rond Bergen? Yeah? Right?

Speaker 7 (22:44):

It's going to be another hot one today, mostly sunny,
very hot, high of ninety four, clear skies tonight, dropping
to seventy two degrees overnight sonny in extremely hot tomorrow,
look for high of ninety seven.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
When you hear a good idea, it's natural to do
a double tape.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
That's what you might do when you here Discover aught Sports.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Mike Soud has got your sports right now on the
dB Mornings show, Mike, What's going on?

Speaker 8 (23:53):
Sports is Hours brought to you back Bridgeville Appliance.

Speaker 11 (23:55):
If you don't like Philadelphia fans, you probably enjoyed the
home run derby last night. His hometown hero Kyle Schwarber
didn't win it. Saint Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker out
distanced Schwarber the Phillies left fielder DH twelve to eleven
in the final round, including six consecutive dingers to win it.

(24:16):
Schwarber had defeated Wilson contraras the Red Sox first baseman
catcher to reach the final. Walker bested race third basement
junior cam and Aro Bryce Harper, the Phillies first baseman,
right fielder Jack Cagleone Royal's right fielder, first baseman, Moontaka Muracawie,

(24:37):
Chicago White Sox first baseman, and ben Rice Yankees DH
first baseman did not advance.

Speaker 8 (24:44):
I didn't watch any of it.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
I tried to watch a little bit of it was
really hard. Netflix really made it difficult. It was an
awful broadcast. You know, we'll get to the Will Ferrell
and Luke Wilson stuff, but it just was from a
production standpoint bad, the direction bad. Everything they tried to
do to bring that to you last night made it

(25:07):
hard to watch. The sound was bad, froze constantly.

Speaker 8 (25:13):
They had problems in football.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Also, I know Amazon Prime did and Netflix did have
some issues. Yeah, because they did, like the Christmas shows
and stuff.

Speaker 11 (25:21):
Yeah, maybe they should stop looking at just the bottom
line and how much money they're going to make. If
these production companies can actually I don't know, produce, yes,
maybe maybe not.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Your money and bro bless your heart.

Speaker 11 (25:43):
Mike home run Derby kind of emblematic of the new
attitude towards the All Star Game in general. There are
twelve players that are at least tied for tenth in
home runs through the unofficial first half of the baseball season.
Seven of the leading home run hitters, seven of the
top twelve home run hitters did not participate for one

(26:05):
reason or another. I wanted to see low in there,
and he didn't make the roster. Yeah, it was a
new format this year. Twenty un time swings in the
first round, fifteen in the semis and fifteen in the final.
Walker and schwarb were both ended with thirty one home runs.
Paul Skeen's one of the Pirates representatives, along with Braxton Ashcraft,

(26:30):
is in Philadelphia. Not one of those guys is going
to play tonight. When Handa Meres of Sports Net Pittsburgh
caught up with Skeens yesterday in Philadelphia, Skeens was still
thinking mostly about Milwaukee in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 12 (26:46):
Yeah, I mean, it's a lot sweeter that, you know,
we won yesterday and you know, get a chance to
pitch again soon after the break, So that's that's fun.
The biggest thing, you know. I know, in twenty four
we were at five hundred coming in and I had
thrown i think on the Thursday before, so it didn't
change anything. Last year we were obviously under five hundred,

(27:10):
and so this year, you know, we're above five hundred.
We're you know, fighting to win the division and make
the playoffs. That is a whole lot more important than
the All Star Game. So I'm ecstatic to not be
throwing in it.

Speaker 9 (27:24):
What's it like to come here off of a series
sweep in the way you guys just didn't have the
highest scoring offense heading into the All Star break as well.

Speaker 12 (27:32):
Kind of crazy that nobody from our offense is here still.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (27:37):
I mean it's great to come in that way. I
think we won a lot of games this year on
the back of our offense, which is a little bit
different than how it was last year. Yeah, I don't know.
It's it's kind of a weird feeling a little bit,
but yeah, I don't I don't really know.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
It's it's interesting.

Speaker 8 (27:57):
That is a strange answer, isn't it. Well?

Speaker 11 (28:02):
Does he not believe they have a great offense? Is
he upset that the pitching is taking a backseat to
the offense.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
I think that.

Speaker 8 (28:10):
Yeah, I kind of did too. I mean it's interesting.
It's strange you.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Can say that about the Pirates.

Speaker 11 (28:19):
You could. Bucks are back in action Friday at Cleveland.
World Cup semi final number one today France against Spain
three o'clock from Jerry World in Arlington, Texas. The second
semi final will be tomorrow at three o'clock, England against Argentina.
The championship game the two winners from today and tomorrow

(28:41):
Sunday at MetLife Stadium at three o'clock.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Do you have a rooting interest?

Speaker 8 (28:46):
I do.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Is it only because you're gambling? Or is that? Okay?
Who is it?

Speaker 8 (28:51):
I'm the conehead we come from France.

Speaker 11 (28:55):
Yeah, we all have a buddy that is the soccer guy, right, sure,
I have a couple of them. And I asked a
couple of the soccer buddies that I know that are
the soccer guy and France's exquisite. They tell me they're
the soccer guy and they said France is a wagon.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah they are, so I hope they don't start running backwards.
See what Mike was doing there as a retreat joke
in a little World War Two humor for you, which
hits our core audience.

Speaker 11 (29:21):
I gotta say, by the way, you mentioned the great
job Madden did last night, and I concur Madden has
been a shining star of World War Two references throughout
the World Cup. Oh, I'm sure he is setting the standard. Yeah,
the World Cup has been The World Cups are in great.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
I'm sad that it's coming to an end because it
really did just fill an entire month for me. But
I really want to see Argentina beat England, and then
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
I just don't want England in England.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
I hate England because I hate the team, I hate
their coach, I hate Harry Kane, I especially hate Harry Kane.

Speaker 11 (30:01):
Not because like they've burned a white house or anything
like that. No, that was many, many years ago.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
I've gotten over it, Okay, yeah, that I've gotten over
and those they were just there was good people on
both sides there, Mike.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
I don't know if you know about that, but I
hate that team.

Speaker 11 (30:21):
We're kind of doing it in ourselves now slowly, but
surely that's good people.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Uh, good days. Good.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I just want Argentine. I want to see Messi in
the final against Himbape. I'm want to see France won
the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
I know why. Abby has your news coming up at
the top.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
Of the hour, one of comedy's biggest couples are going
their separate ways.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
And Tom Cruise as you've never seen him.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Before, Sean Casey eight forty five today the mayor talking
MLB All Star Game, and also just the Pirates talking
to Little Buckos going forward because they are unexpectedly an
offensive juggernaut as we were just saying. And Billy Gardell
joined us for the nine am hour.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
People for Pittsburgh win.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Listen for you chads at Workforce Cash nine am through
nine p m. You'll get thirteen chances a day to
win a thousand bucks in Workforce cash on DV.

Speaker 6 (31:09):
Does your driveway or walkway just keep getting worse? Sunken slabs, cracks,
uneven steps before you start thinking costly replacement.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
And Welcoming to the studio, Joe Byron Ackley, Yeah, thank you,
great to be back.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
I'm back, baby. I like that one. I did you know,
did you watch the home run Derby last night? I
did not. It was on Netflix and they don't do
sports well.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
The thing with Net was calling Homer no basically though,
that's because then what they did, that's what they do.
They get comics because Ted Sarandos loves his comics so
much he makes them do all this stuff. So Will
Ferrell has this new series coming out. So it was
Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, and Jimmy Tatrow. I think that's
says the thin guy's name, get it. Anyways, the three

(32:00):
of them were doing it now. Not only was it
just like not the kind of comedy that lands in
a live sporting event. Comedy in sports really don't mix
all that well. I just think that there are two
different mindsets and people don't want to hear it. It's
like have you opened before for musical acts.

Speaker 13 (32:22):
Yes, I have. And that's hard, right, It's usually very hard.
Sometimes it's fun, sure, but no, yeah, when you're there,
people are there rock Yes, you know, hey, hey who
has dogs?

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah right, And I kind of felt like that's what
was going on last night, as Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson
and that the other guy, Jimmy Tatreau. We're pimping that
new series Hawk on Netflix. And in addition to that,
the production of it was just got awful.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
Here we are, Oh.

Speaker 14 (33:02):
My goodness, Roger Ghosts, good to be with you tonight.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
No, I'm well and this is Jenny and we went
over there. We're very excited to be here. We're very
excited to be a part of this. We hope you
are too, are you guys even watch some balls go
very far into the air.

Speaker 13 (33:23):
Oh he played that card. It's like I hate the
Oh you like every super Bowl? Oh you like the ball? Sports?
Sports ball? Yeah, I can't even do it right. Yeah,
that's awful. Well, sports is, like Mikey knows this. If
you can drop in a little fun like a Chris
Burman or like that, you have to just drop like
Mike does. He drops in the fun every now and then,

(33:44):
but usually it's like, it's sports. You don't need to entertain,
you don't need to make sports better than it is.
That's why it's sports. You need to make life better
than this. Is that making sense? That's too deep?

Speaker 3 (33:56):
When I eat that b mushroom tea.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
The introductions were where things were really being criticized.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
I'm going to talk Mr Kami from the White Sox.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I'm not exactly sure why Ferrell Seeson Asian and then
starts going, you know, this makes me miss another Asian.

Speaker 13 (34:18):
It is morning Taka mare comed.

Speaker 9 (34:28):
I have two.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Words for you hand I'm coordination. He's gonna see a
big knife bo him.

Speaker 11 (34:35):
He's looking good, he's got a good walk headed out there.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
He's like a tiger approaching the ring. As he takes
the steps.

Speaker 9 (34:42):
It really makes you think, God, I wish Showhy was
here right now.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
So I'm guessing two words for you hand eye coordination
is a joke from their series.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
That's that's my guess. That would be helpful to know.
Uh uh.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
And then the Bryce Harper intro, Will Ferrell did kind
of a Chuck Norris thing.

Speaker 13 (35:09):
The man who never has to pay a rama, the
Liberty Bell comes and.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Takes photos of him.

Speaker 8 (35:18):
This bab calls a cosa.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Delay more than George Washington. He has twenty one career.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
Both him.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
And hopefully he ejects the balls tonight.

Speaker 13 (35:37):
Okay, yeah, and then when you'll need it, Junior Cameron Arrow.

Speaker 8 (35:46):
We may have to fact check this because I'm not
one hundred percent okay, but I'm gonna go and hide.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
And say he's the first player and then history at
the home to complete the crazy. Now he's a competitive advantage.
I feel like it. I'd say definitely. Would that was
beautiful streight teeth. You know if Junior had a kid
and named him Junior, would he.

Speaker 13 (36:11):
Be Junior Junior?

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Oh no, I know what's happening to Will Ferrell.

Speaker 13 (36:18):
They needed like you know, Chris Berman or Dan Schulman
and then Will Ferrell. Yes, they didn't have They didn't
need three guys and two of them you never heard of.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah, good point. And then this is the Wilson contrast introduction.

Speaker 14 (36:37):
I think people in Philadelphi, Boston, I get that feeling.
It is the city of brother Mill. You need, you
need a hot limon tea. Maybe you're a big point
in Sonya.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Yeah, that's what it was like, great audio. Oh my god.
I know it was absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
And I understand that broadcasting standards have dropped considerably. Now
we watch television and a guy is sitting in his
house on the evening news reporting on world events, and
we're fine with it. ESPN basically employs a bunch of
people who never leave their homes. They sit in a
den and they have a bookshelf behind them with their

(37:26):
favorite record in a couple of books that they wrote,
or one of their friends wrote, assigned baseball and or football,
and they opine all day from what is basically a
glorified zoom camera.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
We have accepted less than ever since COVID. That is
just how things are.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
But it's got to be better than that, doesn't it.

Speaker 11 (37:49):
You know, I gotta be honest with you. I've always
found Will Ferrell to be really inconsistent. Some of his
stuff I love, Yes, Ricky, Bobby, Jackie Moon Ah, yeah,
man right, some of it I think is just awful.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
I concur and I love him, but I think when
he fails, he fails miserably, just spectacularly.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
He's taking swings, He's taking home run swings. Yes, well
there you go that apropos.

Speaker 13 (38:17):
I will say this though, about the last couple of years,
I've become a watching tennis person, and the Wimbledon production
was insane.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Where they put cameras now is really sweet?

Speaker 13 (38:30):
Yeah, like you feel like you're taking the serve? Was
Will Ferrell there at all? No, it was it was
the mci roe brothers. I mean it was like dumb
and dumber.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
They actually are larious.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
No, they're great.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Macarro doesn't it. That's what I mean it tennis.

Speaker 13 (38:44):
Actually watching like two straight Netflix specials on McEnroe.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Yeah, did you the have the greatest story ever?

Speaker 13 (38:50):
And when you win Wimbledon, you're supposed to go have
dinner with the queen? Okay, and he went and partied
with Mick and Keith.

Speaker 8 (38:58):
He blew him off there, didn't let him.

Speaker 13 (38:59):
Play the next year at Wimbledon's seriously, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
That's that great? Like, no, I'm gonna go hang out.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
With I think I would do that too. He probably
jammed with him. He's like a guitar player and he
jams with dudes all the time. Hey, Delli, everyone hates it. No, literally,
they're like John, you can come over, just don't bring
your guitar.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
No, it's the truth.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
I think that's good advice for anybody who brings a
guitar with him.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
Abbey's got your news. Coming up to the top of
the hour.

Speaker 7 (39:27):
One of comedy's biggest couples are going their separate ways.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Sean Casey the Mayor, coming up a forty five BILLI
guard Ellen the nine o'clock all.

Speaker 9 (39:34):
Tyson is safer highway travel and ready to get you
from here to there.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Hey man, he's.
