From the makers of Cake or Not Cake My God,
It's the DV Morning Show. Randy Bauman, Abby Christner, Ted
Whistle and Mark Mann will be joining us at nine
forty five. He was a part of the DV Morning
Shows Pittsburgh Power Bow Challenge Finale, which we taped on
(01:41):
Monday night and it will replay for you Friday morning

up for you. Abby's got your news right now.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
What's happening news this hour brought to you by Better
Call Si, mostly Sonny Very Hot Today and I.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Of ninety five.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
A growing scam is using Apple's FaceTime app to drain
people's bank accounts. Fraudsters pose as bank representatives and trick
victims into handing over their account information. It usually starts
with a text about supposed activity on a bank or
a credit card, asking the person to call a number,
or with a direct call claiming that they need additional verification.
(03:47):
The scammer then switches to a FaceTime video call and
gets the victim to share their screen while logging into
online banking and so that lets the crook watch in
real time is passwords, account numbers, and one time security
codes appear. Apple says that scammers target FaceTime because people
trust it as a secure app. Experts warn against ever
(04:09):
sharing your screen with an unexpected caller, note that urgency
is a red flag, and advised contacting your bank using
the number on the back of your card.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I lost my card last week and I totally forgot
to call it inops because I just assume it's like
in a pair of shorts somewhere, and then I forgot
about it because I never use it. I just use
the tap on my phone for everything. And now it's
just dawning on me. I should check to see if.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
There's been a new buttresses.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Yeah, it's weird activity.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
Yeah, with the FaceTime stuff, I remember ten years ago
someone took a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or something like
with his laptop out and he had.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
His cameras covered.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Oh yeah, that's right, and I remember thinking, oh, that's
not good.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Well, also, the difference between what he is going to
be looking at and potential interlopers into the information that
might be presented in front of him versus like us.
I mean I don't know. I know that the CIA
can turn on the camera on your laptop whenever they
want and everything, because everyone tells me that. But Zuckerberg,
(05:25):
that's just probably industry smart, right, because people are trying
to steal secrets in Silicon Valley. Right.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Meanwhile, he's like looking at your bank account.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
He's like Randy baumo okay, yeah, yeah right.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Billy Joel has a strong opinion about older artists who
continue to release music past their prime. As you know,
he quit writing songs after he released his twelfth album,
River of Dreams in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Three, which is.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I thought he had one other new one that we
had in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He did a classlassical record.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
He did a classical record, but he had another single,
Oh that was a good song too, So you technically,
maybe he didn't write an album. But it's not like
he's not writing. So I don't know how fair this is,
but I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, I don't know how much you can say he's
writing though, yeah know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
It said in the article quote, I've heard artists who
keep putting out records and they dilute their legacy. Maybe
they're not as good as they used to be, or
they're not as motivated as they were, but it ends
up trailing off. Billy says that he doesn't want to
go out like that and have his music played simply
for being who he is.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Quote, I wanted it to be.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Good, and I recognized that I didn't have the same
motivation that I used to, so I said stop. He
didn't call it any particular artists, but there are quite
a few living legends who have recently released new music.
That includes The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Deep Purple, and
even Madonna.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Do you think that people's songwriting ability wanes as their
belly gets full literally and figuratively as they get older,
or is it that it's just coming from the perspective
of an old person and it doesn't feel cool and
it doesn't feel relevant like it did when you know
(07:20):
Paul McCartney was a young person writing all of those
brilliant songs.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
You hear them differently.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
If a young Paul McCartney were to have sung the
last single he released, would it be received as one
of the classics of the Beatles?
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Cannon, I don't think that.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I think that there is a sense of urgency there's
a lot of pressure. There's a lot of life experience
that happens very early in your life and even midlife.
And if you do get to a point where as
we hear often that as we naturally age, that start
(08:00):
to maybe bother you a little less.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
You have less to.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Fight against or set like you know what I mean,
Like you're not really up against as much.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
And it does.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
That's not a perspective that a younger person would understand
because you're fighting through your life at that time.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
So if I'm hearing like a Paul McCartney song and
he's just like this is on the bottom, I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Sorry, I can't buy hay House.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 8 (08:29):
This next song is about maxing out your rough contributions.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, I always wonder that. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
I mean, I think some artists have done some of
their best songwriting late in life. But it's perspective matters, right,
it does.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
You have to be able to tap into something.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, So like if you're let's say you were an
aging artist, but you were able to tap into what
it is like to have, you know, maybe more existential
questions on the mind and you have a really deep
way of connecting with somebody. That's different than trying to
just kind of keep the catalog going and writing a
(09:12):
song to write a song. The reality too, is that
I think a lot of these artists are tapping into
younger artists to help them put out some material.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
The crazy thing is there have been a lot of
artists who have put out records that just went on
heralded late in their career that I thought have been great.
Peter Wolf from Jay Giles put out a couple of
soul records that.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Are just amazing.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Steve Winwood has two in particular solo records. A Different
Light is the best of the bunch, and nobody paid
attention to him. There's a couple covers on there and stuff,
but like it sounds amazing, the song selection is incredible,
his performance is great. You know, it's twenty years old
at this point, by the way, but nobody paid attention
to it. Right And Warren Zevon's last record as he's dying,
(09:58):
I mean nothing more poignant than that. The Wind is
one of the most you know, elegant recordings of all time.
But a twenty two year old doesn't want to listen
to that stuff, So I think it's just all relative.
The one kind of music that you can just keep
doing and the older you get, it seems to be
get better and people accept it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Is Americana stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Like John Prime put out records right so the end,
and everybody's like everything he did was gold, you know,
like you know, duh, I'm gonna you know, and his
voice is gone, you know, and I'm gonna smoked cigarette.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It is nive miles.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Long and all that, and he's just doing all these
happy old man songs. That's kind of a reductive way
to say it, but like that was his perspective because he's,
you know, he was old and he was kind of
cashing out. But John Hyatt the same way. Lyle Lovett
like those records. All the fan base stays with them,
Will Go, Will Go, the ultimate dad rock band. They're
in Wheeling tonight. Oh yeah, Big show Down and Wheeling.
(10:56):
That's another man who's I think they keep putting out
records that sound good even though they don't pop beyond
their their fan base.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
But when you're Paul McCartney or you're the Rolling Stones
or you're you know, the Who, and if you try
to put out new singles. When you're eighty, your goal
is not to appeal to a niche audience. You're like,
I want to be number one again, and it just
doesn't really happen because younger people don't really care.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And it makes sense by the way.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Mick Jagger is the latest guest on Conan O'Brian's podcast
this week, and it is fascinating and they talk at
one point about John Lennon. Well, they talk a lot
about John Lennon because Mick was pretty close to them,
and he talks about David Bowie and how he's like,
we'll Bowie had.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
All these different there was different bowiees, you know, he
nicked from me from Tom to Tom.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
You know Jeane Janey's very stonesy and I'm like, you
nick that from me and he's like, oh yeah, no,
it's an omahage, you know. So it's like funny to
hear him talking about, like his relationship with Bowie and
John Lennon, because he and John Lennon really got along
very well because they were very similar.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
And if you watch.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, you can see
the rapport they have with each other. Before he goes
out and plays your Blues with the Dirty Mac. But
they reference something Conan and Mick in this conversation that
I kind of forgot about, and it's in the Pennybaker
documentary of Dylan Don't Look Back. And there's a scene
(12:26):
in the documentary where John Lennon is in the back
of a limo with Bob Dylan, and in the movie
it only LA's a very short clip. Since then, the
full unedited twenty minute car ride with John Lennon and
(12:47):
Bob Dylan has been released, and it is like in
the morning after they were up all night, and John
Lennon is importing himself very well. He's got his shades on,
and John sounds wonderful though he's very elegant, and he's
smoking cigarettes. Dylan is destroyed, wasted, And you can look
(13:12):
this up because after they referenced it in the podcast,
I watched it last night and I could not believe
that I was just watching this conversation between an obviously
just wasted Bob Dylan smoking cigarettes with his ray bands
on in the back of a limo, saying tons of
stupid stuff, and John Lennon, who's kept it all together.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
What's a degree of partying he was into. But he's
clearly like he's babysitting Bob or Bobby sitting like and
Bob Dale's kind of annoyingly drunk or stoned or whatever,
and he's like say slur his words and says.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So a few times, remember he said.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
He said, we said said John's keep it together, Bobby.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Oh it's great. Yeah, that one.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
He goes cut. He's like tried to get save it again.
Talk about Perry maguire and at one point they talk
about the mamas and the papas, and he's like he's
like telling me about the mama's and the papa's, Bob
and Dylan's like, you know, you just want to know
about the fat chick, right, and I like, everybody wants
to know about the big chick.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It's I'm here.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
You don't want mama's in there. They stink, man, They're
no good. And you're just like, oh, I bet Dylan
like saw all that, and he's like, yeah, destroy all
that footage. Yeah, but the filmmaker did not. It's you
can look it up on YouTube. It's crazy. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It is so bizarre.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
It's so voyeuristic because he's too fed up to put
his guard up.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah, like he well, is he is he in that car?
Is he currently messed up? Or is this hangover?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
He is?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
He is?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Currently?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Like he's just God, he is wasted. I saw a
still image.
Speaker 8 (15:10):
From this, and I'd meant to watch the whole thing,
but the still image love me to believe that he
was hungover. Okay, but that's that's totally different than what
you're describing.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
And you've seen it. So yeah, if you.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
If you can't keep it together enough to not comment
on Mama Cass, you probably.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I mean, it's our hammer, like, let me see, Okay,
this is this is what he sounds like.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
And I'm watching he says, He says, do you know
what you said to me those tapes? What I played
those tapes? I'll say it's I think I just remember
you said to me, I pleased his song and you
(15:54):
said something about this gotta be in.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I didn't realize at the time.
Speaker 9 (15:59):
Rober He said, it's gotta be a song publishing company.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What's the name of it, what's your you know, your.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Song publishing all the songs?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, what do you say, James?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
No?
Speaker 9 (16:13):
No, is that the other Dick James that was the name.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I heard Olden songs?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Right, that was it?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Right?
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Right?
Speaker 9 (16:25):
I said what I should what's Northern song? And then
I was never told. Man, I had to go out
and find out. Didn't we tell No, man, you wouldn't
tell me, he says, I would be a Nord songs and
everybody you know.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
So you laughed, and Paul McCart and you looked the other.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Way and looked at.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Rob roy left in the room with the kill and said, hey, Bobby,
have you had this one?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It's so bizarre.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
What the hell the whole conversation like that?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
It's insane. I would want to punch him in the face.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
He is babysitting a drunk friend in a way where
it's like not like. If the cameras weren't there, he
probably would have been like it, take one of these bobs,
This will knock you out. Yeah. But it's from nineteen
sixty six. You can look it up. And I know
that Dylan heads already know about that, but I did
not know about that full footage, eighteen minutes and twenty
(17:25):
nine seconds of the two of them wasted in the
back of a limo.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
When you think like Dylan, you're too cool to be
that wasted. You know, you're yeah, you're no, You're like
the coolest guy ever. You can't get that drunk and.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Okay, But perfect example of what we were saying earlier
of a guy who later in his career put out
records that were relevant. He was almost I mean he
was in his mid sixties and he put out Grammy
winning records.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Time out of Mind's amazing.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
You know, like there was two records back to back
there that were just incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
So it happens.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
It is rare, very rare that it matters outside of
like the niche.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Yeah, I think you make a great point.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
It happens really well in Americana country music, Like it
just works better because it's constant storytelling.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
You're always storytelling in rock.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
I think it's very difficult because you're still trying to
recapture what you had originally in that energy, and again
the pressure and the drive just might not be the same.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Agreed, mostly sunny, very hot. I have ninety five.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Mark Madden coming up nine forty five, which had Tyson
on DVE is shifting gears all afternoon.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
First, Vic gree there's a workforce commercial free rock black
then there's sports updates at top speed. There's a reloaded
cut from the DV morning Show in the afternoons in
the Car with Tyson on DV live from the Don's
Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances. This is w
(19:07):
DV E Pittsburgh Our iHeart Radio Music.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Festival presented by Capitol Line.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Who's coming back to the last three years.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
September eighteen and nineteen thirteen ovel Arena streaming live.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Mike Pursuona has got your sports right now on the
DV In one show, Mike, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Sports is not brought to you by Bridgal Appliance. Before
we get there to your previous conversation regarding the writing
of songs and does it get better or worse? Oh jeez,
I forgot to say Springsteen. I can just tell you
that Bruce Springsteen can do it for another fifty years
and he is never going to write another song as
(19:45):
good as Born to Run or Thunderbrook again.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
So you're saying, all right, he peaked early. Fact, well,
hold on, hold on though The Rising might be his
most important record might be, but it's not Born to
Run thunder Road. There's five songs on there that are
Alzheimer's My City of Ruins is one of the most
(20:07):
poignantly timed released songs ever.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Glad you said released and not written because it wasn't
written about what everybody know. Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
Second most misinterpreted song in Springsteen's vast library.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
I don't know if it's a second, because there's another
one outside of Born to Run that I was just
reading about.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm talking about Born in the USA, Born in the USA.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
There's another one besides Born in the USA that people
have misinterpreted, and I can't recall what that is at
the moment, but at any rate.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, I just think in anything, you hit a certain level,
you know. Woodward Bernstein kept reporting after they brought Dixon,
vows they haven't done that again.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I mean it, no, Yeah, Seymour Hirsch did a lot
of good stuff, you know, into a seventies. It's not
art in journalist. Art and crafts are two different things.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, I means you're right, but I just I mean,
sometimes you're inspired to sculpt the statue of David and
then you're not, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yeah, But I don't know how much age has to
do with it, is my point. Like, no, I just
think everybody peaks. There's I think people peak.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
You don't do your best once and then anything else
is not your best. But there are people who will
strive for itever forever.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
It's the desperation to make it that I think drives
people to get there, that that's the necessary fuel. But
then once they do and they have the full belly,
it's a little harder to be like do I want
to try to figure out the rest of this song today?
Or do I want to go out on the boat.
(21:45):
Do I want to be great because I have to
or just for greatness sake? Yeah, And I think Billy
Joel is the you know, the prime example of that,
where he's just like, I could just get drunk with
my friends all the time. I don't have to do
any of this stuff that's really hard, and I could
still sell out the garden playing all this old stuff.
He really did have the greatest setup with that. That
(22:05):
was such a brilliant move it. I hope he returns
to form from whatever that neurological issue was that he had.
But uh, you know, there's there's the Stones put out
a couple of great records when they were old. They'll
never have the impact the blues one was it Black
and Blue? That was awesome? And I thought Hackney Diamonds
was pretty good. I haven't listened to anything from the
(22:27):
new one, but they just can't have the cultural impact
of the things that people did during the foundational years
of rock and roll and classic rock.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Agreed, you know? Agreed?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Oh no, I think R and B artists. Can I
think soul artists. Can you know Aretha was putting out
good stuff right till the end.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
What did you think of when they re released Excel
in Main Street and they released like the unreleased.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Track Como from Turner and all that was in it.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Under my Soul? What did you think about that?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Unnecessary?
Speaker 5 (23:04):
But could you see it through the lens of the
period of like nineteen seventy two or whatever. It all
sounded like that to me. I mean, I liked the
I like the original sound of the recording. Sometimes I
think when they clean things up that it's like a
picture that is taken with film in the seventies and
(23:26):
then they digitize it and like, oh, look, you can
see so much better. It's like, yeah, but now that
I can see so much better. It lost some of
the mystery that lend itself to why that was such
a compelling image. And I feel the same way about recordings.
It's why, like I think some people are way into
the mono recordings of the Beatles and they hated when
(23:48):
they stereoized them because there was something about those mono
recordings that made them special. The compression to put it
all into the you know, it's just all coming at
you in one channel like that. I think there's magic
in that, and I think the other stuff is just interesting, like, oh,
that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Not my preferred way to check it out.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
So when they re release things remaster them sometimes it's
good because like the eighties, a lot of the stuff
in the eighties just was like a bad period of production,
and that stuff needs to be updated. But a lot
of the older stuff when it was on tape, you know,
that stuff sounds great already. There's something to the limitations
that make it really special.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Onto the World Cup Semifinal number two today three o'clock
England against Argentina. Obviously a big one for both teams,
big enough for England that the Brits have been listed
the Motivational Services of Captain Jack Aubrey, a true master
at commanding an audience, to speak to the England team
(24:51):
prior to kickoff against Argentina gold Lads. Now, I know
there's not a fan out among you. I know you
as anxious as I am to get into close action.
Speaker 11 (25:01):
I will test on love and discipline will count just
as much as courage. England is under threat of invasion,
and though we be on the far side of the world,
this ship is our home.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
This ship is England. The food's terrible and the women
are ugly interesting analogy making a soccer team in a
ship the same thing. But I kind of like it. Okay, uh,
you know, we perhaps should have seen this England run
coming in advance, and we would have had we trusted
mad Men's ability to predict the future as much as
(25:38):
we do the Simpsons.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
I know, say my blood's running now.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Good day to be an Englishman. I love that character.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I don't know why, Like at first I hated that
character and then I grew to love him. Layton Price
spoiler alert, and any hung himself. Yeah. Mad Men is
one of Like, there's a bunch of eminently watchable show sopranos.
Chief among them mad men. If you haven't given it
another spin man, you gotta do it.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I just did that recently, and now now I'm doing
it with west Wing.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
I did west Wing last year because I had never
You were the one telling me I have to watch it,
and I never watched it before. I really liked that.
For the last three seasons I thought were garbage.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Well not that far yet. I remember I loved it
the first run. Once Jimmy Smith gets in there, I'm like,
I don't need to say I got into it. And
now it's just nostalgia for how I wait, how I
wish government would be.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Yeah, it's what America, what America was like when America
was still America. It never was like that, Mike. That
is all Pollyanna. Eh, it'll It should make you feel
better to know that it was never like that. There
was an illusion that it was like, leave me and
my illusion lest I end up as lame price well

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Come all again? Everybody?
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Okay, here your phone. You sound a little tunnelly on
the phone today.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I'm like Paul ste I'm trying to tunnel all my pitches.
Speaker 13 (27:48):
Whatever that means. I keep hearing it.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Thank you for taking part in the power Ballad Challenge
of the Pittsburgh Power Botle Challenge the other day. I
thought that this was as entertaining of a show as
any of them have been to this point.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, I know it hasn't aired yet, so you don't
want me to give away too much, correct, But it's
always important that.
Speaker 13 (28:10):
Somebody sucks, and I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
But you guys were all hilarious and the judging was great,
and people can listen to that Friday morning here on
DV starting at seven o'clock, we will rebroadcraft. Well, we'll
broadcast it all for the first time.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Mark.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
We were having this discussion earlier. I'm wondering your thoughts
on it. Can you come up with classic artists or
iconic music, you know, bands, solo artists who put out
records that were impactful and relevant after the age of
(28:46):
let's say fifty five.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
No, it's as simple as that.
Speaker 13 (28:53):
I mean, I do like some of the songs I've
heard from the New Stones album. Right, I'm not sure
anybody in any genre in the year twenty twenty six
is putting out stuff that's impactful and relevant. I think
that kind of music has kind of been retired. And
I think in today's fast food society, with almost every
young person being a superficial idiot, that there's no demand
(29:16):
for that anyway.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
But if Mick Jagger writes a song you know that's
on their new record.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I can't remember the name of the first one.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
If he writes that song and it's on let's say,
tattoo You, does it get considered different just because of
the perspective of an artist who is then only like
thirty versus the guy who's eighty.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I think that any song that now would send out
a place of tat on tattoo you, because it would
have that much less use and energy. I don't think
you could help, but I think the Stones and people
like Robert Plant with what he's doing now, he be
come admired. Which is those old blues guys from way
(30:03):
back when no blues guys slowed down. They might have
done the same thing, but they just aged, and that's
not a bad thing. I think the big problem is
nobody's taking their place.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Mark.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Are you at home right now? Are you on the
road on your cell phone?
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm on the road on my cell phone. I'm want
the Ohio University.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Can I have Jacob call you back. It's just a
it's a really crappy call. He'll call you right back.
The connection's awful, right, give us one second here, So
a reminder that the DVE Pittsburgh Power Bark Challenge finale
will air here Friday morning, started starting at seven o'clock.
I thought it was great the finalists where things used
(30:44):
to be, the ode to Big Bend and the ballad
of the Pittsburgh Power Balladier Angry. It is an angry
little bit song. He's he feels like he's owed because
Frank Montley own the artist. He is a three well
(31:05):
two time loser going into this one will third time
be the charm find out by tuning into one O
two point five DVE on Friday morning, Jacob anything, nop,
He's not even answering. Now, that's how bad of a
signal it was. Anyways, another reminder, uh, Greg Warren live
(31:29):
and studio all Monday morning with a huge Pittsburgh Comedy announcement.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I keep seeing his stuff online is a hugeness just destroying. Well,
you know that I've always liked him. I've always thought
he was really good. But he has achieved another level.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
At the age of like fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
But maybe that means his early stuff wasn't that good
After that.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Well, we'll tell him that he I talked to him
yesterday he can't wait to get here, but he's flying
and special to do it. So that'll be all Monday
morning here on DV. Yeah, all right, Mark, we got
you back you there?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Okay, Yeah, better a million.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Times better, good Lord speaker. Okay, Yes, that's that always
seems to be the case.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
All right.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
The World Cup yesterday. Were you surprised that Spain held
off France.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, I predicted Spain to win the tournament before it started.
Nonetheless surprised they shackled and Boppy and all those great
attackers that France has and really left them begging without
a legitimate chance, except once when Spain made a mistake
and managed to cover up for it that turnover with
the goalie up the field a little bit. So yeah, uh,
(32:35):
surprised that that France got shut down so decisively. But
I think Spain gets the most mileage out of what
it has. I think they have the team when it
comes to the whole being greater than the some of
the parts, and that's very often when a tournament like this.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
All right, who wins between England and Argentina today? Who
are you rooting for?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I'm not necessarily rooting I'm rooting against England. Why Irish?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh okay, well I'm Irish, dude, so that's fair. I
think that England always finds a way to screw up
in the big game. But this isn't the biggest game,
so you don't know. I think Messi's out of gas.
So for him to win the game, I think it'll
be just him making one play at the right time,
as opposed to having any sort of domination, because like
(33:24):
I said, he looked just like he had slowed to
a crawl last game, and he don't run that much
to begin with. But if you made me pick somebody
to I would say Argentina. I just I just think
England didn't pick the right team. I think they are
weak in too many places. In Argentina, even with Messi
not how he started the tournament, I think they just
(33:45):
have more talent in more places.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Do you have a solution to make the All Star
Game more interesting? And even though it isn't that interesting,
is it better to still have it than not have it?
Speaker 1 (33:58):
You can't make it interesting not have it there Or
there's this notion in sports that anything we do we
should do forever, and some ideas just run their course
and All Star games are one of those. But they'll
never get rid of it because it does mean a
lot to the market.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
It's held in yeah, yeah, money terms.
Speaker 13 (34:19):
Of revenue, and it also you know, there's also a.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Revenue to be had via TV. But I didn't watch
one second of it. I don't watch the Home Run Derby.
I'm just not interested. I did watch enough of Home
Run Derby, just a few things on TV to know
what I knew anyway, but it was confirmed Will Ferrell
isn't funny anymore and maybe never was.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Well, he definitely was.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
I will say that he's gone to the well too
many times with the same character. And I think we
had this discussion the other day the candians who depend
on character work to stay funny, whether it's Peter Sellers,
Mike Myers, or Will Ferrell, that is a tough way
to stay funny as you age. It becomes more difficult
if you don't achieve something like Bill Murray was able
(35:04):
to be kind of funny as he went older because
it was more of a comedic persona, but he wasn't
doing characters, and so when he did decide to do
a character like Phil McCracken from Kingpin bigger and bigger,
and yeah, Ernie McCracken, not Phil mccrackett. Yeah, like it
was hilarious, right, But it seems like Will Ferrell has
(35:28):
become one note that he's not even interested in playing anymore.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I'll cut right to the chase.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Will Ferrell was never funny Adam McKay was. When their
comedic partnership split up, Ferrell stopped being funny, and even
in the movies that were hits, he never carried a movie.
He was part, sometimes of an ensemble, sometimes as a cameo.
I just don't think he's the kind of guy who
comedically ever carried a movie. I think he's even if
(35:55):
he has been funny in pockets, I think he's always
been overrated.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
That was a just abysmally bad broadcast of the Home
Run Derby on Netflix the other night.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
And also reflective of why sports media totally sucks, because
you can't just have the event.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Everything has to be cross promotion.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Hey, these guys have a series on Netflix coming up,
and now that I've heard them on Home Run Derby,
I will pointedly not watch it.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
Yeah all right, so double m Mark Madden, you can
hear him once again. This Friday morning is part of
the DV Morning Show Pittsburgh Power Biled Challenge, which will
commence at seven am here on DV. Mark, thanks as always.
I really appreciate your time.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Thank you. And by the way, I can't wait for
no baseball next year. I gotta call him in the
trip coming up about the salary cap Paul Skins Union Rep.
Workers of the World unit.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Gotta go by cool.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Whatever he did there, let's have him do that from
now on, Jacob, because that sounded good. Did you have
him use the FaceTime audio? No, he was not using speakerphone,
so I had him switch. But when he's home he
does insist on using his home.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
Phone because he can hang it up.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah, he likes to have that. There was no click today. Yeah,
I mean, I guess I can just add one when
he hangs up. When he goes gotta go.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Oh, that's different.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
That's for the gotta I gotta go, gonna go, gotta
go right now, to go right now. All right, that's
it for us. We've gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
right now. And uh that was Mark Madden. Thanks to Mark.
