1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh when we did the opener with Warren Zevon at

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: one point before he goes on like we all go

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: to go up, and I stop, and I because I'm like,

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: everyone's leaving him alone. I'll have one second alone with him.

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to have like that Josh Ammy

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: kind of experience. And I was just like, hey, Warren,

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: real quick, not for nothing. I mean, I made a

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: lot of money playing your songs through the years and

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: a real important artist to me. And the song Desperado

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: under these really just changed the way I thought about songwriting.

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: And he goes he's reading the Bible. Oh my god,

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: he was reading the Bible, and he went close the

13
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Bible and he looked up and he went Doesperado under

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: the eaves. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm out, that was perfect, great,

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: thank you. I am not like he was nice enough

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: to acknowledge me with without it being like, you know,

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: going over the top. And I didn't want to take

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: too much. And I was like, thank you, and I

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: ran away. I was hoping he'd be like fans in

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: that explain it to him. So it's a store, what's.

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: The symbolism Randy Bellman and the DVD.

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: it'll just be a cloudy day and a high of

66
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: forty six. Triple A expects a record number of Americans

67
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: to travel for Thanksgiving. Here's when you do and don't

68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: want to hit the road. They're expecting just under eighty

69
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: two million people to head out this year. That's up

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: from around eighty million last year, and seventy three million

71
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: will drive. So let's start with the worst days to leave. So,

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: in general, the worst times to be on the road

73
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: next Tuesday, from noon to nine pm.

74
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: That's a pretty wow big window. It's a pretty big window.

75
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: So Tuesday, I you know, I like the trend that

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: we have decided to lean into here in this country,

77
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: where the day that you would think that most people

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: would take off for the respective holidays Thanksgiving, Christmas and

79
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: New Year's this gets back to by a couple of days.

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Now people are like, I'm done on Tuesday at noon.

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm not effing around. I need a week for the Turkey.

82
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: It's been a long year. I'm leaving on Tuesday. I

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: need to get back home so I can go out

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: with my high school friends and feel real sad. It

85
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: seems like a great idea, and then you get out

86
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: there you're like, what am I doing? See, you're young

87
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: enough to still do stuff like that. I'm well past

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: the age of that. But those days of that Wednesday night,

89
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, they always say the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving

90
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: is the biggest bar night of the year. But the

91
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: truth about that is is it's not the biggest bar

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: night in the traditional bar areas. It's the biggest neighborhood

93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: bar night of the year. Right, you go to the

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: bar you grew up going to, you know, like in

95
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: the South Hills, the saloon will be packed. You know,

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: in the East End, the squirrel cage will probably be packed.

97
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: And then you know, further over, I don't know what's

98
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: the you know, name your bar over in Reading Square,

99
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, like those places, Yeah, Murphy's, Yes, that'll all

100
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: be jammed, But the south side, in those big bars

101
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: in Lawrenceville, nobody will be at those. Yeah, that's a

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: great point. And going back to your neighborhood bar in

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: your hometown, it's like, I haven't been here in ten years?

104
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Am I cool in here? Was I cool the last

105
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: time I was in here? Because I felt like it

106
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: might have got a little away from Yeah, that happened

107
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: to my younger brother, who is not a person who

108
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: gets out of hand, but he one night, just out

109
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: of character did and the bar bar where we kind

110
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: of didn't even have rules because we were such regulars,

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, the owners like not Randy, he can't know.

112
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like he's like no, and my brother's like

113
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know. And I had to like negotiate

114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: him back into the fold, like well, we're keeping an

115
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: eye on you, like what did you do? And he's like,

116
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I threw a shot glass off that I.

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 5: Can't do that.

118
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: He's like, I was trying to throw it to my

119
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: friend and I'm like, did you think he was gonna

120
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: do the shot? Was there serran wrap on the top.

121
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: We saw it in a movie. Yeah, And he's like, yeah,

122
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: I messed up. So he had that experience. But typically

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: I go to bars where I feel like, you know,

124
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of like you go to places where you're

125
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: one of the better behaved people, no full well knowing

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: that there are people who are much worse than you.

127
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: A great move. Yeah, yeah right, I'm not going to

128
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: be the drunkest guy. Exactly. It gives you a big,

129
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: big window to be a moron. Look at that guy,

130
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: he's got real problems, exactly. I'm not Lenny. They're worried

131
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: about him, they're not worried about me.

132
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: The worst time to head home is Sunday, November thirtieth,

133
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: that's between eleven am and eight pm. Also, Monday, December first,

134
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: between noon and eight pm apparently is bad, and that

135
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 3: Monday is rough because there's also just regular commuter traffic.

136
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: I guess for everybody who doesn't have as much vacation time.

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: But the best day to drive is next Thursday, because

138
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: there's not a ton of traffic on Thanksgiving itself.

139
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you that's the best day. Best day

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: to fly Thursday morning if you are within a short

141
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: flight of your Thanksgiving destination, take one of the early

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: flights out and you'll be there before noon. I would

143
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: be terrified to fly day of what just for yeah,

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: something goes wrong, I don't know. Potential of missing.

145
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 5: Turkey, yeah, wasting your whole day on a delay.

146
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that could happen typically on those commuter

147
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: flight like the shorter ones. I'm not talking like going

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: to like you know, on a five hour flight. I mean,

149
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: if you're going to New York, Chicago, even Orlando or Atlanta,

150
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: you know something within three hours, you're usually going to

151
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: be okay. And unless the weather's bad, in which case

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, all bets rough or if you know we

153
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: run out of air traffic controllers, because apparently that happens

154
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: from time to time.

155
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: Now, I was gonna say, are you also thinking the

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: mentality of the people who are working because it's a

157
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: holiday like that, they would be pissed that they're working

158
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: on a holiday.

159
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: It's not fun. Yeah, that's when you get Neil, thank

160
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: you for working, Thank you for working. Yes, that's a

161
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: good call, thank you for working. My dad would pack

162
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: turkey sandwiches in his pocket all the time, not on Thanksgiving,

163
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: just regular flights. He'd have them on there and then

164
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: he'd started eating it and someone would go, well it

165
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: looks good, and he'd be like it is, would you

166
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 1: like one? And then he'd pull out another one wrapped

167
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: in Cela fame and give out turkey sandwiches. So what

168
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm suggesting is maybe if you're flying that day, take

169
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: a little tip from Bruce there, make yourself a nice

170
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: sandwich to get to those people. Eggs sal I'm trying

171
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: to think of the grossest thing, egg salad sandwich. Would

172
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: you like one?

173
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 5: Straight out of my pocket?

174
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: But it's ninety eight point six degrees right like a

175
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: warm tuna, a warm tuna salad. I got this sushi

176
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: from a kiosk, but.

177
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: You can have it.

178
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: Did you see that Olivia mun sat on a talk

179
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: show yesterday that she got violently ill.

180
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: Yes, Bathtub sushi is what she called it, which is

181
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: a terrible name. She was she thought it would be

182
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, luxurious perhaps to have sushi while she

183
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: was having a nice hot bath. But the problem is

184
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: that'll cook your sushi. Sushi is not supposed to be hot.

185
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not supposed to got over. I think it's

186
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: like forty degrees or something like that, Yes, and she's

187
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: like puts a sushi platter on top of like a

188
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: steaming hot bath and then slowly eats it as it's

189
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: all being like kind of cooked, and then she had

190
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: massive food poisoning from it. Humid Sushi a new restaurant concept.

191
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 1: We're gonna open one in Robinson. Get on down to

192
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Humid Sushi this weekend, all right.

193
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 3: So for some people it's a quick drive to meet

194
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: up with family and friends for Thanksgiving, but for others

195
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: you do have longer travel time. According to a new survey,

196
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: the average person is willing to drive one hundred and

197
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: seventy two miles out of their way to pick.

198
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: Up a loved one.

199
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and f W that's what I thought.

200
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: That's I don't that's three hours. Three hours.

201
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to take inventory of my life. I

202
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 3: don't know if I should say this on the radio.

203
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: I don't think I love anyone that much.

204
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: I just what I would do is paying in nordon

205
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: amount to have somebody else do it, right, you know,

206
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I'd be like, where are you, mom, Saint Mary's what

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: did you You missed the bus coming back from your

208
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: your casino trip. Okay, there's a car service coming. A

209
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: man named Raoul is going to pick you up. He's

210
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: very nice. Don't worry. He'll drive you to Eerie with

211
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: a ninety minute out and back to pick somebody up.

212
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Ooh man, not doing that?

213
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 5: What's the most you've driven?

214
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: Like, I'm I've done that though I've gone to I've

215
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: definitely gone to Buffalo and back to pick somebody up

216
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: up from from Erie. But I mean, I don't know.

217
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: You're going like eighty miles an hour and it ends

218
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: up being like an hour there, an hour back. But

219
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: something about the one hundred and seventy two mile figures,

220
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: it just seems so far it's a daunting number. That

221
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: is daunting.

222
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: Five percent of people said that they would be willing

223
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: to drive seven hundred miles, which is a major trip.

224
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: That's basically the distance between New York City and Chicago.

225
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 5: Just just go give somebody.

226
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Thanksgiving is the best holiday of all of

227
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: them because there are no gifts, and there's all the

228
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: food and all the hanging out, and there's football NonStop,

229
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: and it's just fun. It's a fun hang. If you

230
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: have a fun family, it's a fun hang. Now, if

231
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: you have a disastrous family, it's a nightmare, and you

232
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: look for the things to do and stay busy. Yeah. Yeah,

233
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: if your significant other has a nightmare family, it's still

234
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: pretty fun. Yeah, so you're back in the fun. I'm

235
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: just gonna sit back, I'm gonna drink fifteen beers, and

236
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let the day come to me. Because you

237
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: don't really have ownership of that. You get to be

238
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: a spectator. Yeah, and then you know, behind closed doors,

239
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: all you do is you pump up your significant other.

240
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: Like that was messed up. I can't believe she said

241
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: it either. Your cousin Judy really believes that.

242
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: My gosh, sweetheart, I don't think the light's out of

243
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 3: your eyes.

244
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I just never agree, never agree with the other person.

245
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: I've had those like you know that the Christmas dinner

246
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: in the Bear from season one, Oh my god.

247
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 5: Traumatic that the whole episode's traumatic.

248
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Have you seen it?

249
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 5: The one with Jamieie Curtis.

250
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I've been a part of one of those, and let

251
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: me tell you, it is a scar. I mean it

252
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: leaves a scar. And so I'm always like, I go

253
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: in with the lowest expectations. And nowadays that stuff is

254
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: long gone. But like when both my parents were around, man,

255
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: and they were both remarried, any one of those holidays

256
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: could have turned into that at any minute. You'd be

257
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: very careful. One comment could set someone off on a

258
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: tangent and then you were back in the races. Do

259
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: you think that your siblings would agree with you? It's

260
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: like the famous Christmas dinner, like it's the one or

261
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: would they each have their own? That was well, So

262
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: the siblings were with me one hundred percent, yeah, because

263
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: they weren't all there. There was only three of us

264
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: at that one, but it was. But we had friends

265
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: who were like, you know, we have like a bunch

266
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: of friends who were kind of they're like brothers, they're

267
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: members of our family, you know, right, And there was

268
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: a few of those people there too, and it was

269
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: like we walked out on mass we had to. It

270
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: was one of those situations. We ended up at Applebee's

271
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: because Applebee's was open, and when I say we got drunk,

272
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: oh my god. It was just a horrific family explosion

273
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: that happens to all kinds of families, typically not then,

274
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: but for us it did. And it was like, this

275
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: is a bad one. We got, we gotta go. We

276
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: had to go pull the ripcord and Applebee's was open.

277
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: Applebee's was open, and I it was sad but hilarious,

278
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: Like we had the best worst time ever. You know,

279
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: it's like what what has caused? This is ultimately sad,

280
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: but this is hilarious. And we're you know, we're getting

281
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: those stupid drinks they have. We're like, give us a

282
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: round whatever those was. It's big and it's got stuff

283
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: in it. Bring one of those you know, giganic blue

284
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: drink and a fish. Yeah yeah, seven yeah, Like my

285
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: ninety pounds sister is like just sucking down those big

286
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: things with eight kinds of alcohol in them. Those things

287
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: are so just heartburn, instant heartburn. We all said, the

288
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: worst hangover in the world, and we're like, I wonder

289
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: some of the food is actually left, Like do you

290
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: think we can eat it? Oh? Yeah, like the next

291
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: day no, the answer was no, it was it was gone.

292
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: But Thanksgiving usually people are like, cool, there's a great

293
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: snl sketch that Eddie Murphy did when he hosted just

294
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and it's like like him putting

295
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: on the front of the dinner I just want to

296
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: say a few things and how lovely this is to

297
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: get your family together. And then they keep cutting too

298
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of what it's really like that week,

299
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: and it is super accurate and hilarious how hectic it

300
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: can be, and like, you know, the mom's at the

301
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: table just like, oh, I just threw this together, and

302
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just glad everyone likes it. You know,

303
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: while she's cooking, she's greening, and everybody cut out, and

304
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: the grandpa's stinking up the bathroom and all that. You know,

305
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of the fun of it though, the annoyance, right, yeah,

306
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: and then it all comes together in whatever way, or

307
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't. Apple end up an apple bee that is

308
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: That should be their ad campaign, by the way, they

309
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: should be like this Thanksgiving, if your dysfunctional family boils over,

310
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: you've got a space with us at Applebee's, come get

311
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: one free drink for every traumatic incident that happened at

312
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: your dinner table. They do dollar marks. Yeah, that's not

313
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: out of question. I think that might have been. What

314
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: we were drinking was like huge marks. I don't deserve

315
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: anything nice, it's just the sours. Help I forget? Yeah, drinking,

316
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: do you forget? I'm a big Thanksgiving fan though, because

317
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: my brother makes a Thanksgiving meal every year and he's

318
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: the master at it.

319
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: He's the cook.

320
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: Yep, he's the cook and he does like three different

321
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: stuffings every year and their bomb. One of them is

322
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: sausage and peppers. Oh stuffing. So it's a you know,

323
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: tray of stuffing. And when you take a big hunk,

324
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: it's got sausage and peppers and and it tastes like

325
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: stuffing and a sausage and pepper sub It's the most

326
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: amazing thing I've ever had. It's great. And then he

327
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: does a shrimp at to fe one.

328
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 5: Oh that's bragging.

329
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really good. I don't even know those are

330
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: sides you're putting, you know, those are sides being raised

331
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: to the level of entree. I make that. Yeah. I

332
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: typically won't eat them with the because it's too much.

333
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: But it's like a separate like I'm gonna go get

334
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: a little dish of stuffing and puts gravy over it.

335
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: It's definitely a great leftover snack too. Yeah, and then

336
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm on clean up duty, which is not as bad.

337
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: My buddy used to do a he used to host

338
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: friends giving where he made her ducan every year. I

339
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: don't know. That feels perverted to me. It's stuffing another

340
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: animal into another's cavity. It's all de boned too, so

341
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: you cut it in slivers like a log like how

342
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: you would you know, forest boards. It's isn't it greasy?

343
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 4: Though?

344
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: Is in the duck really greasy? There? There's supposed to

345
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: be stuffing between the birds too, so it's like six

346
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: layers of stuff. But you know, the duck is just

347
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: it's it's not like chicken and turkey. It's definitely different. Yeah,

348
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: you can tell what it is.

349
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, duck is a greasy thing for me.

350
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: Ram it that's how you make you got ram it?

351
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Get it in there. I like to ducan. As you

352
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: can see, nobody likes to duck and like me does

353
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: he deep private, No, this was like a he by

354
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: the time you got there, which was way too early.

355
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: We were in our twenties, you know, drinking your friendsgivings

356
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: all the way. Like I have friends who were in

357
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: their mid forties and they still do a friends giving.

358
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: They did it last week and I'm like, I think

359
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: that's too much. That's too much Thanksgiving pens. Yeah, yeah,

360
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: it depends on the group. I don't know, but you know,

361
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: the early appeal of friendsgiving is like, no adults, my

362
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Grandpa's not going to yell at me for going in

363
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: the basement. This is awesome, right and getting hammered, well crushed.

364
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: Years ago there was like this kind of like it

365
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: was a year after COVID I think, or like, well, no,

366
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: actually we were kind of still in it. I think

367
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: it was twenty twenty one where we went to like

368
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: a friends giving year, but everybody did bring their kids,

369
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: which was a major problem, like because it was not

370
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 3: as fun everybody. We got a house in Deep Creek

371
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: and we all kind of split it and because of

372
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: the aforementioned kids, everybody got the stomach flu.

373
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: Ah, really really bad.

374
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: The problem with this for me was that the Monday

375
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 3: after the friends giving, I had my hernia surgery schedule.

376
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

377
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 3: So as we were coming home, my husband and daughter

378
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: start puking over and over again. Yes, and I'm like,

379
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: I have a hernia surgery, So somebody has to drive

380
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 3: me to the hospital at four in the morning, like,

381
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: and they're like, moally, it's me and I'm like okay,

382
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 3: So I drove myself to the hospital.

383
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 5: And then while I'm at.

384
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: The hospital, they're like, well, we can't really start the

385
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 3: surgery cause somebody at least has to call us and

386
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 3: tell us that they're the one that's picking you up,

387
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 3: because like you can't, you know, you have to have

388
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: a driver. So I was like I got him at

389
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 3: least to like call and say that he would pick

390
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: me up, not knowing full well like if he was

391
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: going to pick me up or not. But I get

392
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: done with the surgery and then he's picking me up

393
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 3: green He's just like he looks like Kermit and be

394
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: like I am here.

395
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: And I had like a face mask on everything.

396
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: If I throw up with I will kill you. The

397
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: scariest thing to consider after hernia surgery would be getting

398
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: the stomach flu.

399
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 3: But also, like the whole time, I just kept thinking,

400
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, I have been denied again. Like all I

401
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: was supposed to have was two days of pain pills

402
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 3: and service.

403
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 5: I was supposed to be able to go.

404
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: I need soup and have somebody like gently helped me

405
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: out of bed. And all I had was a pillow

406
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: I could put over top of my stomach and at

407
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: two in the morning, I'd have to like roll.

408
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Just go.

409
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 3: Two days because I wouldn't let either one of them

410
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: near me, because I'm like, didn't get it.

411
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 5: I did not get it. I also didn't see either

412
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 5: one of them for a.

413
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: Week, so there was thatgiving.

414
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael be joining us here in just a little bit.

415
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: He's a Thanksgiving fan too, and we are one week

416
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: away from Thanksgiving. I'm mostly thankful this year that the

417
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: Steelers are not playing on Thanksgiving. Yes, can't stand when

418
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: they play on Thanksgiving. It drives me crazy because it

419
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: turns the holiday into a Steelers game. Then I'm in

420
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: Steelers game mode. I can't do both. I don't possess

421
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: that ability of duplicity. The dichotomy of emotions that are

422
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: supposed to be coexisting. The Steelers one just swallows it

423
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: whole Christmas we played on Christmas. That became a Steelers game.

424
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: There was no Christmas. It was just a Steelers game.

425
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: So this year you get to have the holiday and

426
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: watch the Ravens and the Bengals. That's the one. Well

427
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Chi's Cowboys too, Yeah, I'm in that one.

428
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 3: No oh, it's a yeah, I hate them all.

429
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 5: What a holiday?

430
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, all right. Michael joined us here in a

431
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800

00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 8: way you know, he hasn't missed a practice, He hasn't

464
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 8: missed a rap early all season, and he's been he's

465
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 8: been banged up at times, and he's so quite a

466
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 8: you know, it's a tough he's a tough competitor. But uh, yes,

467
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 8: I mean in the natural flow practice, I'll get three

468
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 8: reps out out of a ten pack, so you get

469
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 8: enough to kind of stay sharp enough.

470
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 7: Now, Ruolph also does what he can, uh when he's

471
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 7: not practicing too ready himself in case he's needed. And

472
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 7: toward that end, he brought back something of a cheat

473
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 7: code of sorts from the season he spent last season

474
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 7: in Tennessee.

475
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 8: Get Uh, you get the scout team reps. What's what's

476
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 8: your fun? And uh, it's fun to compete when you

477
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 8: just you know, you see a card for three seconds

478
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 8: and you go execute it and then uh, we've we've

479
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 8: kind of gotten to rhythm with the quarterbacks of we

480
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 8: call it a little walk and talk after practice. And

481
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 8: something I learned from from the from the great Trevor Simeon,

482
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 8: just a little you know, just getting together and brain

483
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 8: brainstorming about you know, what's what, what coverage can I

484
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 8: get here?

485
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: What's my We're talking through you read and it's a.

486
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 8: Very uh, you know, conducive environment without a without the

487
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 8: threat of getting reprimanded for a wrong answer by coach.

488
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: So it's just just the boys. You think you should

489
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: be in jail, Me too.

490
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 7: Trevor Simmy and the quarterbacks coach in Tennessee former backup

491
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 7: in the NFL. But I kind of like that they

492
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 7: just talking out amongst themselves. If if they're wrong and

493
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 7: the wrong and then they correct each other, you don't

494
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 7: have to feel shame, which has got to help, right.

495
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: Well, I think that what he is pointing out, not

496
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: so subtly is the difference in the dynamic in the

497
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: in the quarterback room now versus when he came to

498
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: the Steelers organization originally. Correct might be what he's trying

499
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: to illustrate.

500
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 7: There, you back what he used to get every Wednesday,

501
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 7: the backup would be the guy.

502
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I never thought of it though.

503
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just saying I'll have to consider that something

504
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 7: to consider, you might be honest with. Rudolph definitely appreciates

505
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 7: all the support that he gets from Rogers. Uh, and

506
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 7: that continued after Rudolph was able to get that Bengals

507
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 7: game to the finish line.

508
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 8: I don't think I think it'd be a fourteen year

509
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 8: old me knew that I was getting it, you know,

510
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 8: getting a nice to have from from from a rod

511
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 8: after a game. It would be pretty pretty done exciting.

512
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 8: So he's uh, he's very very kind and complimentary.

513
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 7: When Mason Rudolph was fourteen, Aaron Rodgers was in his

514
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 7: sixteenth NFL Callly Cow and they are teammates. Now that's amazing,

515
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 7: It really is. You just forget Rogers is forty one

516
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 7: and how long he's been doing this.

517
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean so you see him in them. Yeah, yeah,

518
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding him. He's a kidder.

519
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: He enjoys jokes.

520
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 7: Darius Slay back at it yesterday full participant trying to

521
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 7: work through his concussion. No Jalen Warren ankle, Cole Holcombe illness.

522
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 7: Full participant Alex high Smith Peck did not practice. Also,

523
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 7: the twenty one day window closed on Corey Trice Junior.

524
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: He will not be activated at the reserve interviews. It's

525
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: always gonna be. I hope it's not forever what could

526
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: have been, you know, hope next year they give him

527
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: another shot and he can finally get healthy, because the

528
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: fact that he came back to practice finally got healthy

529
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: and was hurt the next day just kind of feels

530
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: like he is snake bitten.

531
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 7: For the Bears, they got a couple of cornerbacks who

532
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 7: are working their way back, trying to get off the

533
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 7: reserve injured list. Jalen Johnson, he's supposed to be a starter.

534
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 7: His window twenty one day window open last Friday. Kyler Gordon,

535
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 7: he's supposed to be their nickel. His window opened yesterday.

536
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 7: Kind of sounds like, just from reading the tea leaves

537
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 7: off the release here that Johnson has a good chance

538
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 7: to play, and Gordon probably next week, So we'll see.

539
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: The Bears are seven and three.

540
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 7: They've won five games inside of two minutes remaining, and

541
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 7: they have not beaten the winning team they.

542
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Play two, No, not even two.

543
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 7: They've played one five hundred team Baltimore and one winning

544
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 7: team Detroit and got smoked by both. The records being

545
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,040

546
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 7: right right right, very very winnable game. No matter who

547
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 7: plays quarterback for the Steelers. All right, well, just don't

548

Speaker 7: And they are they are the most Chicago's the most

552
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 7: turnover producing team in the league and lives and dies

553
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,920

00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: So just and Kala protects the ball, Yes he does.

555
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,720

604
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 4: day and you know, in front of a fireplace watching TV.

605
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,360

607
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,240

609

610
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I didn't think. You know, we always talk

611
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 4: about trap games and not looking ahead, and you know,

612
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: coaches don't want to and I thought Pat Nordoozy last week.

613
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what his thinking was, but he almost

614
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 4: set that up like we can get killed in this

615
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 4: game and still win the ACC. Well, you know, okay,

616
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: that may be true, but I'm not sure if that

617
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: set the tone or Look, this is the only rank

618
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: this is the only ranked team that they've played this year,

619
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: the only ranked team on their schedules that currently ranked

620
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 4: right now, and they weren't able to hang with them

621
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 4: at all. So we'll see what happens with Georgia Georgia Tech.

622
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: I think this is actually is a winnable game they have.

623
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: They've given up over five hundred yards defensively their last

624
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 4: two games, and one of those was the Boston College stinks.

625
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 4: I mean they almost lost. Yeah they did, and which

626
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: were with a set things up nicely so, but yeah,

627
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: I just thought the whole vibe going into that, You've

628
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 4: got one of the biggest games and all that commotion

629
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 4: and all the national attention coming in, and I thought

630
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 4: they'd done. He may be downplayed it a little bit

631
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: too much. I'll say, you know, we love it when

632
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 4: the Steelers go on the road and take over a stadium.

633
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 4: But I can remember being a kid when the Buffalo

634
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 4: Sabers were really good and they had the French connection,

635
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 4: they would commit on Saturday nights because they couldn't get

636
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 4: tickets up, but they would take over the Civic arena

637
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: with their let's go Buffalo chance and that would tick

638
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: me off. Oh my god, Yeah, I know what that's

639
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: like to be in your own stadium and get out cheered.

640
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 4: But we like it when when the Steelers fans do

641
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: with the other.

642
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: People, how far that organization's fallen. We were talking about

643
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: that the other day. Buffalo, that's a town. They're like,

644
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, the the hockey version of the Pirates, a

645
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: town who has supported their team and absolutely loves them

646
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: and their complete garbage every year.

647
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 4: And you know, you look around, you look at what

648
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 4: the Penguins are doing right now, and you look at

649
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: the other teams that have had, you know, recent times

650
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: to success, whether it's Chicago, La, Well, Boston's playing pretty

651
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 4: well right now. They I mean, they've missed the playoffs

652
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 4: the last few years, but I'm we haven't talked much

653
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 4: about them. I can't believe how well they have played

654
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: a little since for card Riquel got hurt and they

655
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 4: got seven guys on injured reserve right now. But since

656
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 4: he got hurt, they they've struggled to score goals a

657
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 4: little bit more. But I think it's one of the

658
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: biggest stories in the NHL so far this year.

659
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: No question. Well let me let me switch sports before

660
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: coming back to the Steelers. The news Ken Jeff Passing,

661
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: not Ken Rosent. Jeff Passon talking about the Buckos being

662
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: willing to spend maybe bringing Connor Griffin up at the

663
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: tender age of nineteen, and Paul Sken's denying the reports

664
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: that he wants to get traded, saying that's not true.

665
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Might this be the worm turning all of a sudden

666
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: for Bob Nunning and company? They only have one year

667
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: till a supposed shutdown. Is he gonna actually throw the

668
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: money out there?

669
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 4: Well, think about it. You could throw it out for

670
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: one year, and if there is a shutdown, you might

671
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 4: not have ever payoff on a year beyond this one.

672
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 4: Mlb dot Com projects the Pirates to spend thirty to

673
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 4: forty million dollars for new salaries. So there's are they're

674
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 4: getting this information somewhere And if this were you know,

675
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 4: if this were some local guy writing or maybe getting

676
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 4: fed stuffed by the team. You might doubt that Jeff

677
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 4: Passens has respected a baseball insider as there is. So

678
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued and encouraged by it, but they still have

679
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 4: to do something. It's funny that this Japanese guy Murakami

680
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 4: got mentioned because I'm might make notes on him and

681
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 4: another guy, Kazuma Okamato about a month ago to talk

682
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 4: to you guys about somehow we never got was right

683
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 4: after the baseball season ended. Okamato is another power hitting

684
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 4: first basement, third basement. He played for Yo Muri. Not

685
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 4: quite the numbers of Murakami, but but he would also

686
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 4: be he's a little better fielder, and he's also a

687
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 4: better average hitter and would be a little more affordable.

688
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 4: So there's another guy to keep your eye on if

689
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: they're going to go you know, international and this international stuff.

690
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised to the Yankees try to sweep

691
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 4: up some of these Japanese guys because they're bitching about

692
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 4: how much advertising money the Dodgers get right from Japanese

693
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 4: companies because they have all these Asian players. Well, you know,

694
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 4: they could get the same thing if they start, you know,

695
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: investing in some Asian players, then maybe they could get

696
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 4: some of that Japanese advertising money too. It cracks me

697
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 4: up when Yankees and Yankee fans complain about not being

698
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 4: able to keep up financially with the Dodgers.

699
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, the rich matt Ath rich. But you know, look,

700
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: if the Pirates land a couple of Japanese players, maybe

701
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: those endorsement dollars can go the other way and Permannis

702
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: can start advertising in Japan.

703
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 4: There you go. Yeah, so you should you major in marketing?

704
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: No, but I was good at it. Took I took

705
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: one marketing class at Penn State three twenty one. I

706
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: was the Nitney NoteTaker for it. As a matter of fact,

707
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: everybody bought my notes at the end of the year.

708
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, yet another miscalling for me. All right, So

709
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: let's get to Steelers and the Bears. This Sunday one

710
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: o'clock in Chicago. I was asking Missy Matthews about this

711
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers' motivation. Do you think he is as

712
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: he sort of positioned himself yesterday, glad that the history

713
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: reflects that he has owned the Bears but has no

714
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: interest in continuing on beating their ass. That was another time.

715
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: This is a new team, and he's glad he did

716
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: what he did, but he loves Chicago or does the

717
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: fire burn inside? Does he secretly want to go in

718
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: there once again and stick it to these guys. I

719
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: kind of wanted him to come out and say that, like, yeah,

720
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: if I can go, I really want to go there.

721
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: I love beating the Bears, I love playing there, and

722
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: I love that they have this you know thing about

723
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: me coming in there, that I'm the boogeyman.

724
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 4: You know.

725
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted him to go that way with it.

726
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 4: Well, let let me ask you this. If late in

727
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 4: his career Ben Roth was or would have went to

728
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: another team and played in Cleveland, what would what would

729
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 4: his feelings be? Would he not have the same fire

730
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 4: against the Browns that he did when he played for

731
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 4: the Steelers. I think he would question, Yeah, and I

732
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: still think the Rogers fire burns there too. I mean,

733
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 4: he's and he made sure he got you know, he

734
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,479
Speaker 4: put it out there how much he's beat them down.

735
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 4: But then he also tried to politely deflect any attention away.

736
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 4: I'm intrigued by this game. If you look at the

737
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 4: Steelers record against like original NFL, especially the NFC teams,

738
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 4: they stink against almost all of them all time. And

739
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 4: to point out that they won one time in Chicago, ever,

740
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 4: they've only played there seven times since the NFL merger,

741
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 4: they hardly ever play there. Yeah, I think that's a

742
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 4: kind of a goofy stat A lot of those records,

743
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,959
Speaker 4: like against the Eagles, the Commanders, the Rams, the forty

744
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: nine Ers, they get Giants, they got losing records against

745
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 4: all them because the first forty years when they were

746
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 4: in the league, they got hammered by all those teams

747
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 4: because they stunk into the seventies. But Mike was pointing

748
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,959
Speaker 4: it out in his last sports cast there they don't

749
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: have a win against the winning team. The combined record

750
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 4: of the teams the Bears have beaten is twenty fifty

751
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 4: one and one so far this year. I mean they

752
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 4: you know, Vegas and Washington and New Orleans and Cincinnati

753
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 4: and the Giants they all there. Now, I'm not saying

754
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 4: they're not good. Usually when we talk about records and

755
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 4: you don't how good this team is, they played a

756
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 4: bunch of greenpus. We're talking about college football. Because the

757
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 4: schedules are manipulated in the NFL you're all you know

758
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 4: on any given Sunday. But you know, I think Cayleb

759
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 4: Williams is developing as a quarterback, tremendous physical talents that

760
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 4: I think he's growing into. And Ben Johnson's obviously done

761
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 4: a good job there. But I'm not gonna sit there

762
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 4: and look at that one and twelve all time record

763
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 4: in Chicago and they, oh, they can't win there.

764
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you know, Steelers beat up on some scrubs too,

765
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets, the Browns, the Vikings.

766
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean they have I mean, you're gonna

767
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 4: get those. But they also won in New England and

768
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 4: beat Indianapolis, two of the best teams in the league

769
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 4: right now. I mean that's certainly ups their resume in

770
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 4: my mind over what the Bears have done.

771
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: Would you rather see Mason or Rogers?

772
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 4: Well, if I'm paton Ordoozy, I'd say we could lose

773
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 4: this game one hundred and thirteen because because six at

774
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 4: the next seven are against AFC teams or whatever. Five

775
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 4: at the next six, you know, so I'd be real careful.

776
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 4: I mean, my worry about it is, you know, he's top,

777
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 4: he'll tolerate the pain. I'm worried if he gets knocked down.

778
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 4: And my brother in law one time worked as a

779
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 4: mechanic and he fell backwards and broke both of his wrists.

780
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: And I'm just worried about I mean, if he gets

781
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 4: knocked down, and that's what you brace, could he be

782
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 4: knocked out for the year, could he further? I mean,

783
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 4: that's a medical question I can't answer. And also what

784
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 4: about handoffs on running plays to the right, He's got

785
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 4: to hand it off with his left hand, taking snaps

786
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 4: under center. I mean, I'm just yeah, not about him

787
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: getting hurt down the road, but one key fumble on

788
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 4: a play where his wrist is bothering him. And Rudolph

789
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 4: played so well last week, personally, I kind of would

790
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 4: like to see Rudolph start to sea to I think,

791
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: just give him a week's rest. And you know, I

792
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 4: don't understand. This guy's got a winning record as a starter,

793
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 4: He's played well, saved their season, got him into the

794
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 4: playoffs few years ago, and they still seem to always

795
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 4: hesitate about using him.

796
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: Not to mention, they have to if you get Rogers

797
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: hurt for a longer period of time, Will Howard becomes

798
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: one heart beat away from the presidency.

799
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be an interesting story. Talk about a

800
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 4: forgotten guy we haven't mentioned since training camp and now

801
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 4: Sunday he possibly could be a snap away from playing.

802
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm predicting, Kenny Pickett finishes the game

803
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: for the Raiders this weekend against the Browns, the team

804
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: that traded him away, and it'll be Miles Garrett going

805
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: up against Kenny Pickett.

806
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 4: That'll be hey, a lot of quarterback. And there's Justin

807
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 4: Field's getting replaced by Tyrod Taylor.

808
00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: Now with the Jets starting that game.

809
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah right, we're starting that game and Lamar has an

810
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: ankle injury. Now he's had hamstring me and ankle. I

811
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: watched that whole game against the Browns and I didn't

812
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 4: see one designed run for him. You know, he ran

813
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: it for ten yards and onyone he was in trouble. So,

814
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 4: I mean, he's had everything wrong with his legs. Not

815
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 4: that I think the Jets are gonna beat him anyways.

816
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I yeah, maybe it's the same scenario for them where

817
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: they should sit Lamar because it's the Jets, you know.

818
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, good point, they're still a fourteen point favorite.

819
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: That's just ridiculous. But there's always bad NFL teams this year.

820
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: It feels like there's three exceptionally bad NFL teams and

821
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: yet they fit.

822
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 4: And that's what I mean about, you know, trying to

823
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 4: figure out when you're looking at schedules in the NFL

824
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 4: compared to college football. The Jets will still figure out

825
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 4: a way to beat somebody. You know, Tennessee will still

826
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 4: figure out a way to beat somebody here and there.

827
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: And then you're sitting there, you know, look at we

828
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 4: mentioned the Steelers had a couple of those quality wins.

829
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 4: The three of their four losses are against teams that

830
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 4: are right there, you know, Seattle seven and three, Green

831
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 4: Bay six and three, the Chargers of seven and four.

832
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 4: Of the game that I think is really gonna haunt

833
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 4: them somewhere down the line is at Lotson Cincinnati.

834
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: Oh YEA one that does not make sense, no question.

835
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,239

855
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 6: It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought

856
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 6: to you by iron Workers Local Union number three. They

857
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 6: don't go to the office, They build it and Steelers

858
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 6: Pro Shop get it direct from the team at shop

859
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 6: dot Steelers dot com. Here's tom op from it.

860
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 9: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers spoke to the Steelers' media yesterday for

861
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 9: his weekly chat and only increased optimism in the quarterback

862
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 9: playing Sunday against the Bears. The veteran quarterbacks said that

863
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 9: he was going to try to practice today and would

864
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 9: like to start Sunday in Chicago, but ultimately said that

865
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 9: that decision.

866
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: Will be up to coach Mike Tomlin.

867
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 9: The Steeler should probably want Rogers to play just as

868
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 9: badly as he does when you look at the quarterbacks

869
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 9: track record when playing against the Bears in his career.

870
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 9: During his eighteen years in Green Bay, Rogers met the

871
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 9: Bears twenty nine times and walked away with an unbelievable

872
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 9: twenty four and five record. And perhaps it's even more

873
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 9: impressive than the record is the stats he put up

874
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 9: against Chicago. Rogers has a massed six nine hundred and

875
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 9: sixty five yards thrown for sixty four touchdowns and just

876
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 9: ten interceptions for a passer rating of one hundred and nine. Obviously,

877
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 9: neither Rogers or the Steelers should want to rush things

878
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 9: just to get a win over Rogers's old punching bag,

879
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 9: especially when the team has much greater goals on the horizon.

880
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 9: But it wouldn't hurt to have someone with Rogers's pedigree

881
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 9: when it comes to beating the Bears, seeing as the

882
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 9: Steelers are one in twelve all time in Chicago, with

883
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 9: their lone win coming way back in.

884
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: Nineteen ninety five. I'm Tom Opferman with the Steelers Report.

885
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: You see the skyline, you drive over the bridges We

886
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: built that Ironworkers Local Union number three in this
