just feel like, well, I got the I got the trups.
This could be anything, but the way that this woman

(01:02):

Kentucky Kentucky conundrum. Brandy Bellman and the DVE Morning Show,

I believe it starts at seven am. And I am
excited to hear the live tape because we did a
(01:44):
couple in show you know segments on it. Then I
started really enjoying the songs, so I want to hear
some live. I want to hear the commentary. I don't
know about Abby or Tad, but those freaking songs are
still in my head.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
They are pretty easily. They all had good choruses.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
The winning song is really in my head, yeah, totally,
and it's driving me crazy, has been for a few
weeks and now I hate it.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
No, and the performers were very good, like everybody could
do well.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
No one had laryngitis.
Speaker 3 (02:16):

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Wow. Yeah, So that'll be Friday morning and it's brought
to you by Mike Kelley Automotive dot Combat, parks online
at Casino, Sportsbook, and better call Si Abby's got your
news right now. What's going on is?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
This hour is brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems
Wet Basement Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. It's mostly sunny and
very hot today with a high of ninety five. Scarehouse,
a nationally recognized haunted attraction, is partnering with the Plaza
at the North Shore to launch the Halloween Hangout in Pittsburgh.
The Halloween Hangout will feature a variety of haunted experiences, events, movies,
(02:51):
and themed food trucks with drinks that runs from October
first through the thirty first is month long activations new
concept combining diverse Halloween entertainment rather than being a traditional
haunted attraction, so the partnership commits to a multi year
effort to create a new Halloween tradition for Pittsburgh residents
(03:12):
and visitors. The experiences are designed to be customized, offering
new and surprising elements with each visit throughout the month.
So apparently it's supposed to be a living, evolving experience
where no two visits will ever be the same.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
It's like open source, like people just bring your own
costumes down, no background checks required, bring your own chainsaw.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It sounds like they're also going to.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Do like ticketed events too, like well, they'll do like
the Rocky Horror Picture Show and stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Are you into that kind of stuff? Though? No, me neither.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
This is like the one shameful thing of like you know,
Jeff conkl in eighth grade, like when everyone's like, let's
go to the you know, one hundred acre manor or whatever,
you know, a thousand acre man or whatever that is,
or let's go to the South Park Scarehouse or anything
like that, I'd be like, I'm just gonna play game
gear at home. Like I was just it was not
into it. I knew that that everyone's just like, why chicks.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Will be there?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I was like, you think a girl is going to
really start batting her eyelashes at me when another eighth
grader jumps out of a bush, and I go like,
that's not gonna happen. It's going to backfire on me.
So I just avoided it. And I still kind of
avoided I don't. We went to Fright Night one time,
and even then as a. As a I think I
(04:26):
was like thirty five or something like that. I was like,
I don't like this. I don't like people jumping out
at me and trying to make me pee a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Like I didn't like that trying to make you peel
a little bit. Yeah, I mean, it would be tough
to get a girl to ever look at you the
same again after you run away. Limp wristed in a
high pitched screen. Yeah, that's why I wasn't trying to
not trying to.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Put myself in I know what situations that will make
me look bad, and I just don't put myself in
those situations.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I was. I went to Catholic grades. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I went to Catholic grade school, and uh, I guess
for a couple of years they let the eighth graders
create their own haunted house in this one like abandoned classroom.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yikes.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, so I was in kindergarten and these deranged eighth
graders had their at their own haunted house set up.
So you walk in and you're like walking through like
basically like a box fort, you know, like tunnels of
cardboard boxes, and they're banging on the boxes and screaming.
But then when you got to the end, this one
eighth grader, he was like he would grab he grabbed
(05:30):
my hand and he's like.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Stick your hand, dude, my throw up and jam my hand.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He jammed my hand into a chafing dish filled with
cream corn and it was like room temperature. I was like,
oh my god. And that was the end. That was
like the finale of the Haunted House.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I mean that horrifying enough as a in her gardener. Yeah,
no way, I like that one. That's that's stick your
hand mine probably what it was the final boss of
the hunt of us. That's such an eighth grade.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Like you know, what's gonna gross these kids out and
scare them? What if there was a huge tray of
bar and you could jam their little hand into.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
It because they can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What are you going to do? Oh god, I mean
it is hard. I don't know, it's tough for me
to get. I think the what might be funny this
year or spooky is if you like walked in, you know,
with all of the stuff that's going on with the outbreak,
and then there was like like you walk in and
then all of a sudden Chanho park comes out. I
(06:47):
had a lot of that idea what you want to
know them? Yeah, and then uh oh always funny terrify
(07:17):
save it. Yeah, the off day, off dayah man, just
running away from it. Well, that's what it is. You'll
be You'll have to eat fresh vegetables at the end.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, you'll have to join Jamie Lee Curtis in an
Activita commercial at the end.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
To replace the biomes of your gut. You know what.
That's going to be a big seller. It is activity Yeah,
all the gut regenerations. If people end up having that,
I actually think that it's such a big news story.
It'll a lot of people will start to do the
things we were talking about abby uh, frozen vegetables, canned vegetables,
(07:56):
frozen berries and stuff like that, just you know which
are going to be hard to find now, of course,
but stick with that for a while till they figure
out how to get the doty disease out of your salad.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I just can't take that the incubation period is so long,
because I wonder if I've already.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Done it right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
That's I posted this reel from a guy that today's
like staring off in a nowhere do I have the
diarrhea parasite? How long have I had the diarrhea parisite?
When will the diarrhea parasite come for me? Time is
a flat circle, yes.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Because how long are we supposed to go without eating vegetables?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Well, nallice. Also, some of your male friends have done
it their whole lot. That's true.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Don't forget like local farm go to farmer's market like
they're not having issues in you know, the like butler wringled. Yeah,
like you can go farm fresh and be okay. It's
the big factory farms where this is coming from. So
there are workarounds right now, and just be smart. They
(09:02):
just be smarter than the people in charge.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Sounds like it's wing night.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
That's not hard to do. Oh, yes, you're just it's
wing night every night. Now, Well you're just going about
it a different way at that point exactly. Yeah, I
earned this diarrhea. It's my choice.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
If your children have the popular needo cubes, you'll want
to remind them not to microwave the squishy toys despite
what they see online. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says
that it has had about half a dozen reports of
children and teens heating up the toys and getting third
degree burns when the cube bursts, sending them for emergency
(09:41):
medical treatment. The toys are similar to a stress ball.
According to Shilling, which is the company that produces the
need Do, it's supposed to be quote a gratifying, super soft,
super stretchy, dough filled groovy glob.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
There's a lot of needos in my house.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
The burn is a chemical burn because do these things
contain a chemical substance that has some sugars in it
that heat up to a high temperature and can cause
a burn very quickly. Chilling president Paul Wininguard said that
the company is working with TikTok to remove influential content
containing Needo product misuse.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I think there was an episode of OZ where they
heated one on a microwave and through it.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Dude, I'm watching footage a kid that did it. I mean,
this kid is absolutely just his whole face is massive. Yeah,
it's like really bad and he like the kid gave
a press conference from the look at that picture. The
kid gave a press conference, a nine year old kid
(10:44):
about heating this stuff up.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Serious burns after his needle cube exploded in the microwave.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I didn't know it was TikTok because my friend did
it before, but she put it in for like she
didn't get her Well, yeah, I like that. He's like,
I wasn't following a trend. It's like trying to get
a girl. I was in the microwaving before it becomes cool.
(11:11):
This swoops his his hipster haircut over this, but it
didn't go well for poor Caleb.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
You Ola University Medical Center says Caleb is one of
at least four cases they've seen this year involving Needo Cubes,
the company that makes need telling ABC News in a
statement that ensuring the safety.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
What is I don't understand, Like what benefit do they
get out of microwaving?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It makes it softer and more appliable or something like.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
That makes it super soft, and and then they really
like can squish them in a different way because the
needles are like out of all of these squishy toys,
which if anybody has kids for whatever reason, these have
become currency. Like the kids in our neighborhood get together
and they get in little circles and they trade. Yeah,
it's it's it's like a whole system. But with the
(11:54):
needles they're a little bit tougher, so they're harder.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You have to squeeze them.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Really hard to get them to be like, you know,
malleable and everything. But I think with this, if you
heat them up in the microwave, then all of a
sudden they're super squishy. The problem is is that it
makes them prone to then burst boom.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, well, I guess you can microwave plato to like
revive it or what I don't know, like and you
can you can make your own plato in the microwave.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, well that's.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What they say, flower salt water cream of tartar. This
sounds delicious. In microwave on high for one minute, stir thoroughly,
then microwave thirty seconds. The dough is still ruddy or sticky.
Keep microwaving. Look, if my parents would have known this
back in the day, there would have been no pl
make your own. We've got plato at home.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
We had to do that when we were a little weird.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Not not that my parents wouldn't get us plato, but
there was like plenty of times that it's like.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Hey, guess what we're doing today.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
We're making playto am I right, Oh really, yeah, it's
like half the fun experience.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
It sounds like it's half the.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, make your own color.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Come on.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It's adorable. And it smells different though and than regular
play though. It smells like you kind of want to
eat it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh yeah, well they did, I mean sell like Tartar
Tartar clean, Charter Targer smarter. All right.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Everybody has their own distinct tastes when it comes to
comedic subject matter, with comedians themselves certainly no exception. Yet
even then, Jerry Seinfeld's intense dislike for one unnamed comedian's
work goes above and beyond pure comedic preferences, is seen
from his fiery criticisms of that comedian on a twenty
nineteen episode of Comedians and Cars Getting Coffee. In that episode,
(13:40):
Seinfeld appears alongside fellow comedian Bridget Everett, who began discussing
a personal friend who also happened to be a fellow comedian,
and hearing the name of the comedian in question, Seinfeld
went on a lengthy tirade about Everett's friend, criticizing his
stand up routine and the comedian's own differences with seinfeld
comedic style. So quote He used to rail against comedians
(14:03):
because they weren't as wild or as dangerous as he was,
because he sucked. He wasn't funny, and that's why he
didn't get anywhere period, because in comedy, nobody gives an
f if.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You're cool or if you're lame. If you're funny, you win.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
And he's not funny, and that's why he had to
do that stupid effing voice because you have no effing act.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I know who the name is podcast? Oh yeah, yeah, yes, okay, yeah, correct.
That whole scene is very uncomfortable because I loved it,
like screaming at the woman a little bit assertively. Well,
you know why he doesn't like Seinfeld because he was
dating a seventeen year old girl and picking her up
(14:44):
from high school when he was thirty seven years old.
Now you go, yeah, yeah, like that. But if it
wasn't somebody who's comedy you enjoyed, you'd be like, yeah,
that guy's the biggest creep in the world. Yeah, that's
see to me.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, there's a thirty seven year old guy that works
at the garage down here and he's picking up your
seeventeen year old daughter from high school. You didn't I
was rolling my eyes and you didn't let me finish
my eye roll. Bob Bobcat Goldwave, you think again. I
think you sort of mentioned it right there. You think
Bobcat Goldwave picks Jerry Seinfeld apart if Bobcat Goldwath is
above Jerry Seinfeld. Or was that just trying to tear
(15:18):
somebody who was having a ton of success down.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
No, I don't think they even remotely do the same thing.
And at the time that he made those comments about
him too, it was like the end of his comedy
career when he was getting into directing and doing other things.
He kind of became a different artist, post Police Academy
and all of that crap. Now, does it come off
as like sanctimonious because it sounds like it's targeting popular
(15:41):
comedy and he's trying to get out the alternative cool way.
I feel like that's how the argument gets framed, and
that it's understandable to be like, oh, screw you, go
to your cool, little enclave of hip comedians who can't
draw anybody like. Seinfeld is one of the greatest all
time comedians, but his character is not be on reproach.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
No, but that's why Seinfeld went. People get uncomfortable with
Seinfeld because he is incredibly confident, but some would say
very arrogant. But when you hear like he went on
Maren's podcast, you know whatever, it was right right around
COVID and Mark Maren could not wrestle with the fact
that Jerry Seinfeld wouldn't cry at something that he said, like,
(16:22):
He's just like, you need to let the anger out,
and Jr's like, I'm not angry. He's like, well, you
need to let the darkness out, and Jerry's like, man,
I'm fine. And that bothered Mark Maren, who only dwells
in that type of thing, so much that afterwards Mark
Marron was like, he's a liar. He's not letting us
and maybe he's maybe that's true and all that kind
of thing, but I did not, like, clearly Maren has
(16:42):
an aesthetic and a type that Seinfeld does not fit,
and it just clashed and.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
So it just didn't work. I grant you that completely,
but I also think you're mischaracterizing what he was trying
to get at in that interview, which was that Seinfeld
was whole conceit is that you don't have to have
darkness to be a comic. There does not have to
be a dark side of you. And what Maren is
saying is you are denying that there are dark parts
of you, that there are parts, and he's like, no
(17:09):
light as a feather is basically how Seinfeld comes off.
When when you listen to what Seinfeld said, like and
as he gets older there are parts of him that
are easy to see. That's like, yeah, it's kind of
screwed up. And if you're dating a seventeen year old
girl and you're almost forty, yeah, maybe there's a little
darkness in there somewhere that your comedy is being derived
from that you're not acknowledging. So that's now whether or
(17:31):
not that's true, it's an argument that has a lot
of weight to it.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Yeah, But Seinfeld still I think his point is that
that Maren's missing. The point is that in Seinfeld's been
on multiple podcasts, he says, if you're not constantly irritated
at being alive as a comedian, then it won't work
for you. You have to be constantly irritated at just
being alive. So I feel like he's giving people what
(17:54):
they say. He's like, I'm irritated all the time about
this stuff. I'm just not you know, making people, making
the audience sad as He's a little bit more like
a vaudeville type thing, Like he's part of the he
like likes the show, and I think that that bothers
some people like but.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Maren is inherently annoying. I mean that is like he
acknowledges that those are two totally different.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Well, there's a level of showmanship. I think that that's
where the dividing line is. Like one is a post
you know, Carson Show showman and one is a pre
Carson Show showman.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And I think that that's Yeah, it's an aesthetic divide. Yeah,
no question about that. But the Bobcat stuff, it, I
mean that is coming in retaliation for Bobcat lighting him
up about dating an underage girl and getting no flak
for it. Well, he was right about that, which is
why I was surprised that Seinfeld kept it in the episode.
(18:47):
You're just like, I don't want to stir up anymore Potts. Yeah,
let sleeping dogs lie here. Yeah. And I don't disagree
with Seinfeld that that Bobcat devolved as a comic into
just shock when he starts lighting things on fire. You know,
we had the best like two hour hang with Bobcat.
One time he came in the studio and we hung
out for like a full two hours, just nothing but
(19:10):
like us talking with Bobcat, and it was great. And
he was talking about that time when he was like
he lit the Tonight Show set on fire, He lit
our Sineo set on fire. And he became this guy
that like people were stunt booking because they just thought
he was going to create a scene pre Internet, pre
like you know, any sort of social media where it
was like, oh, how will we get ratings, Let's book
the guy who you know, I wanted to say, like
(19:33):
there was an episode of Larry Sanders where they joke
around about it and they like get it ready for
him to set the couch on and he's like, yeah,
I don't, I don't want to do that. And I
think that was at a time when he discovered like,
I don't want to be this kind of comedian. And
then he and Robin Williams became best friends and he
directed him in a movie and then he kind of
his career went in another direction and now he tours
(19:56):
with Dana Gould. Actually they're they're kind of like those guys.
See there's San Francisco guys la. But yeah, but Bobcat's
originally Boston, which is funny with that whole when the
when the the Boston comedy scene exploded, Stephen Wright, Sweeney,
Sweeney and all those guys, Bobcat was one of the
(20:16):
first guys. He was like Kevin Meaney, all those dudes.
He was one of the least developed. But I I
think there's comedy weight to Seinfeld's argument about Bobcat, but
I think the yeah, sure for it all is a
little deeper. Sure, mostly sunny.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Today, very hot, I have ninety five.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That being said, nobody has been as consistent a comedian
as Seinfeld. Seinfeld still destroys. He is like a master craftsman.
It's like, I think the reason.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Why I like him so much is that he's a
standard bearer for for quality. Like there's a lot of
there's a lot of low quality things that are out there.
His act at least is still very high quality. So
I like it well.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
And in this age of comedy, there's like the big
name comedians will put out a Netflix special and you
go to watch it and you're like, where are the
friggin jokes huffed up a little bit. It's just, Oh,
we're just celebrating our celebrity. Now.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
The nature of a good comedian is if you can
remember a bit that you heard them do one time. Yeah,
and I can remember a lot of Seinfeld bits.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's why I think Shane Gelli stands out from all
those other dudes who's got in his wake. He's funny,
he comes out and actually does comedy.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Yeah, I'm going to come out and do comedy on
July first at the Pittsburgh Winery with Alex Homiak and
Chrissy Costa, who were.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Just talking about the local show is Alex Alex. I'm
glad he's doing comedy again. Yeah, he's he's sort of back.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
So we're gonna be at the Pittsburgh Winery July Thirday first,
July thirty, Friday, July thirty first, Sorry, and then I
got a bunch of I got a couple more big

Do you see what I see as the most optimistic
of Pirates fans have. I can look at the stats
and see if the Bucks are tied for first in
Major League Baseball with five hundred and sixteen runs, first
with eight hundred and eighty six hits, sixth with one
hundred and twenty five home runs, first with four hundred
and ninety five RBI, first in batting at two sixty three.

traditional second half collapse, Braxton Ashcraft running out of innings,
(24:48):
Bubba Chandler running out of pitches before he pitches five innings,
and Jared Jones being handled like a Shinea bobblehead doll.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
We haven't even got to the bullpen yet.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
Pirates fan deserve some hope for change at the All
Star break, and taking three from the Brewers before the
break ignit at some. But they've got miles to go
despite the sweep.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Oh that was clever. I like that. Take number two.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Winning football when a great team is confronted by an
equally great or potentially greater one with everything at stake,
sometimes being opportunistic on offense and as relentless as you
have to be on defense is enough. Turns out that
works in soccer too. Spain made it work on the
way to the World Cup Final. I don't know a
great deal about soccer. Is my having back France at
(25:36):
the expense of a few hard earned franks confirmed, But
I do know if they don't score, you can't lose.
Sometimes that's all you gotta know. Take number three, You
get what you negotiate. Baseball's Midsummer Classic included pre All
Star Game shots fired on both sides of the labor front.
This just in the owners won a salary cap and
(25:59):
the players. At the end of CBA Armageddon, there won't
be one. We all know that equalized sharing of local
revenue maybe the best fans can hope for on the
competitive balance front. Wherever the CBA dost eventually settles next
season is in peril.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Play ball while get ken. There you go.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
The localized revenue thing is a big deal to me,
but a big factor. But I don't know why the
owners would do that if there isn't a cap, because
that would just be the Yankees, Dodgers and Cubs thinking
of the good of the leg and not the good
of themselves.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
They're not going to do which nobody ever does what they.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
Ain't gonna do. That's how the NFL got big. I
know they put the leg first. You know, if the
Yankees are playing a bunch of small market nobodies, they're
they're putting that on TV and making money from it.
If there are no small market nobodies, they can't put
it on TV and make a bunch of money from it. Hey,
(27:01):
you're preaching your a choir, and you know, I'd like
a cap as much as anyone. I mean, it works
in football, works in basketball, works in hockey. But there's
only so much you can pay these guys. Like eventually
it's just wasted money, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Like I'm trying to who's one of the guys that
got paid, Like after a Rod got the two fifty mil,
who was who has been worth Yeah, other than to
this point Otawi, Kevin Brown certainly wasn't when he got paid.
All a handful of guys has been a complete disappointment
since he got paid it.
Speaker 9 (27:38):
Oh my god, that's he's exhibit A for what are
we doing here?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Right?
Speaker 9 (27:43):
That's what I'm saying, is that, Like, so if there's
no floor to drag the pirates and teams like that up.
At least if there's more local revenue, they may be
more inclined to drag themselves up.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
They won't though, because just like the business plan of
those greedy, you know, big market teams is to never
stop raking in as much as they can. I mean,
he does the same thing through the revenue sharing and
then not giving back under the guise of, oh, we're
going to take all of the revenue that we made
(28:17):
at P ANDC Park last year and it's all going
to go into the team. That never happens. He always lies,
they raise ticket prices. He is a despicable stain on
the sports landscape of the city of Pittsburgh has been
for decades, and we do nothing about it because every
city throws money at billionaires to make them richer so
we can keep our teams in our town. And I'm
(28:39):
telling you right now, this guy is the worst thing
to happen in Pittsburgh sports ever, because they should have
here it with when they made the playoffs the first
time after thirty years of futility. It was twenty at
that point in twenty some that they did not spend
(29:03):
and try to build around what they had and when
they could have gone on or run there just let
you know exactly what this guy was all about. Someone
told me who knows him, like, the thing is he
actually really wants to win, And I'm like, well, then
he's just terrible at this. I don't believe he really
wants to win.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
Either you or you're too stupid to recognize that.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Either way, you're out. Well.
Speaker 9 (29:29):
I would suggest we got out of the PNC park
with torches and pitchforks, but as I found out Saturday,
they don't.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Always let you in. No. Yeah, you'll be waiting outside
for four hours. I mean, that is such a typical
Pirates move. So you schedule a doubleheader an hour after
the first one it finishes, and think we can wipe
the stadium and bring a whole new crowd in without
making it a miserable experience for everybody. A day after
we blew off fireworks in the in the daytime. Just a.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
And this is one of their better gears in recent memory,
despite their ineptitude. Hey, they brought the Bucco bricks back, Randle.
They're on the wall now. They're good. Not because of
the way they thought they were going to be good.
That's such a pirate thing. The reason they're good.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
They're like, oh, we were hitting okay, good because we
thought we were gonna be able to pitch and we sock.
They were shooting for great pitching and average offense. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
They got great offense and really questionable pitching. Yeah, either way,
they landed in the middle. This is where they thought
they were going to be. But how tenable is that?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
And that your argument?
Speaker 9 (30:38):
And while localized and passionate is what the players association is.
They're to paraphrase, their point on this is, hey, there's
people that just aren't trying. You know, he's one of them.
He's always been one of them. You don't need a
cap you need everybody trying.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
But then the hilarious thing that they do every once
in a while, they're like, hey, you know the peasants
are revolting. Let's give Matt Moore or as ten million
dollars in July. You know, like they'll waste money occasionally
under the guise of trying. Well, it seems like this again.
Speaker 9 (31:11):
I think they're seventh from the bottom and payroll, so
it's not a dramatic shift, but it's a dramatic policy
change for them what they did going into the season.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Percentage wise, I mean, when you're talking about that bottom
that's seven, it's like it's not like they're light years
ahead of the bottom two.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
If they're really committed, they'll sign low and find a
way to bring in a guy that's going to cost.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Him a lot of money. Yeah, because he'll presumably well,
i'll tell you another thing. Skenes was unreachable when this
year started, and they were going to be forgiven for
not being able to sign him. And now I don't know.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
Well, if he pitches like this for another year and
a half, you want. I know, he's a star kidding.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I know his girlfriend is a big celeb, and I
think he's hilarious. It would be great. I know Pittsburgh
Dad ran into him on the red carpet and asked
him to police stay in Pittsburgh. He said, all we
got is you and Kenny Wood in the summertime, and
he goes, good to know that was all Skins. Yeah,
good to know. So he ain't playing it on sticking around.
(32:12):
But you got Connor Griffin. You did the one good thing,
Except he keeps getting hurt.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I feel like Livy Dunn is probably like, oh, Paul,
imagine when we're in LA or New York, how great
life is going to be? You know, you think she
wants to live in blond Ox the rest of her days.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I do not. I don't think they live in Blonnox. No,
and you know what, not a bad place to live.
I like me too, well.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I don't think Libby Dunn would.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
For an average blonde Ox again, yeah, not for Paul
Skins or living done.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Blonde Ox.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Means something a little boogeier.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
A little bit. Is she more of a sickly kind
of swiftly big Fox Chapel Mount living in I don't know.
It just pisses me off because you see how much
this to the cake. That's where she should go everywhere.
It's Pittsburgh. It's just what kind of cake? We got cake?
And we got home? Okay, Abby's got your news coming
up at the top of the hour.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
How many group chats are you in?
Speaker 4 (33:12):

you shouldn't kill it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
We'll tell you why. Steve Burne talks about the Goddamn
Comedy Jam this weekend coming.
Speaker 7 (33:19):

the road. He's got a reloaded cut from the DVE
Morning Show, Sports and a Workforce commercial Free rock block

Speaker 1 (33:36):
HI, It's tel Hey Morning show, Good morning everybody. Oh Pittsburgh,
it's going to be one hundred and eight degrees today,
and actually.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
It's going to be a little cooler.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Oh will it? What is it?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
It was supposed to be ninety eight and now they're
calling for it to be like ninety five. It might
be a little less than that, but well, because Wednesday
is supposed to be the hottest day of the week,
I was stirpling that. But the there's like Canadian wildfires again,
and the haze that's gonna.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Make it hard to breathe today is actually going to
reduce the temperature. Guys, that great.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Uh, well that's kind of cool. Yeah, yeah, all right, Well,
look we might not be able to breathe. Uh there's
worms in the beef. There's uh parasites in our greens
giving us seven weeks of diarrhea. But at least women
can't get promotions in the military anymore. So I think
(34:29):
things are going good.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Wait, there's worms in the beef.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yes, screw wormsrew worms come on hungry, and there's a
tick that well, look, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
And then there's a tick that's gonna.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Make if you if you let the tick bite yet,
you won't eat the screw worm beef. It's really it's
they've got it all figured out.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
The safety nets.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
We ate the screw worm to eat the parasite, and
then I ate the tick to eat the screw worm.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
This is one of those little like a grade school
of parable things. It's kind of Doctor Suscian at this point.
But you know, with the weather being as hot as
it is, Oh, I want to point something out. You know,
the Pittsburgh Power Vowel Challenge was Monday night and it
is going to be replayed for you. Well played for
(35:19):
the first time. I should say. We taped it Monday night,
the finale, and it'll be broadcast Friday morning here, I believe,
starting at seven o'clock. And it's great and you guys
are gonna love it. And Abby, Tad and Mike are
very funny, and so are Mark Madden and the Great
Reb Beach and John Dollin from Jean the Werewolf, our
celebrity judges and the contestants were amazing. The songs were great,
(35:39):

(36:25):
really cool thing that's going on, and Greg will let
you know all about that on Monday, So set your
calendars for that. Greg Warren live in studio with the
DV Morning Show this coming Monday. Now, with temperatures getting
up to ninety five degrees, as we said, even though
the smog from the wildfires will make it a little
(36:46):
more palatable out there. This really has been the heat
dome that we've been trapped under the last couple of weeks.
The absolute perfect weather for summer penises. Yes, that's right.
And what I mean by that, of course, is the
condition in which men's penises appear to be much bigger
because of the heat. And it's a phenomenon that happens
(37:07):
every summer. And the doctors, I don't know anatomists, anatomy
people don't. They have labeled it summer penis. And you know,
I always feel compelled at least once a summer to
play the summer Penis song. It's pretty, I mean, it
(37:33):
is catchy.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
Yes few my.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Penis hanging down my pants low on the very first
part June night. I wonder why it's got so much
extra flow. Then I check the date and say, yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Summer pens fails me with pride growing the chafts when
the sunshine a.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Delicately summer penis.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I feel like that against that someone swat with Jimberlin's
Winer with mind contemporary reference. My somber penis peace bigger
this year. I wonder if that's a Sufi change feel
(38:29):
a little different when I want, like my underpants can't
take much more. Then I look up at the blazing sun.
Then feed my som of meaness hidden the floor, some
of pie to the grapeful.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Only the grape sas sound.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Some things.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Bottoms when it crawls.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Back to my side. Autumn penis not great different my
song song, I should rethink?
Speaker 8 (39:21):
So yeah, did we not?
