1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: WDV Pittsburgh and iHeartRadio Station.

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: Guaranteed Human.

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 3: Former Pittsburgh's dealers running back Le'Veon Bell's boxing match with

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: Logan Paul has a troubling update here. So Paul announced

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 3: on X that WWE pulled the plug on his potential

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: boxing match with Belle, writing that he's too valuable to

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: be fighting bombs. Leveon Bell did clap back at Logan Paul,

8
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: and he did call that a complete work of fiction.

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 4: Basically what I said earlier.

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: It's like, that's what you do whenever you're you know

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: you're going to go on a date with somebody and

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: you don't know if you want to be stuck on

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: that date, so you have that backup phone call.

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 4: You're like, call me because she might be crazy.

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 5: Oh my mom's in the hospital and needs me.

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: I have to go.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: Is the twenty twenty six version of them washing my hair?

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Is that what this is?

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 4: Exactly?

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: He ducked the whole season?

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 4: Was he talking about?

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 6: He ducked a whole back half of his career that

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 6: should have earned him much more money.

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 5: I again, guys.

25
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 7: Levin the Paul Brothers, this is the second time a

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 7: threesome's gone really bad for Leveon Bell.

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: Second time he's gotten robbed in the threesome. Randy Bellman

28
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: and the DV Morning Show.

29
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: It is the DV Morning Show, Randy is off to day,

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: Abby Krisner, Tad Whistle in studio, Sean Collier as well,

31
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: you saw the Logan Paul fake maybe WWE phone call

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: with this this fight that he wanted to do with

33
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 3: Le'Veon Bell that he's been stretching out forever. Basically said

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: that he wanted to fight Le'Veon Bell, put up a

35
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: million dollars to do it or whatever kind of threatened

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 3: that Le'Veon Bell said, Bet put up the million dollars

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: to do it.

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 4: But then.

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: Logan Paul basically had this fake phone call, or we

40
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: think it was a fake phone call come in from

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: a WWE execs saying that he couldn't do it.

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 5: What's so, Chris, there's a big time call.

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 2: Stop?

44
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 5: Why can I ask why?

45
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: Well, you don't want you to get injured, bro, I'm

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: not gonna get injured. These got can't box, I know.

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 6: Book, it's just unnecessary risks like you don't know if

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 6: you slip, can fall?

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't want to risk and no Chris,

50
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: I get it.

51
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 8: I know.

52
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: We appreciate all the hype, right and you get you're

53
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: doing your thing. That's great, But like you can't box,

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: your full time doesn't leave Gray. It's not dude. These

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: guys cannot box. They're football players. There's no risk.

56
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 5: I'm glad you feel that way.

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: That's why you are who you are. But we are

58
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: trying to eliminate that risk and look out for WrestleMania.

59
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 9: We cannot be turning the boxing ring.

60
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: Oh man, is there any way I can convince you?

61
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: What if I Hey, what if I cut you guys?

62
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: What if I cut the WWE and on my winnings?

63
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 6: Because because I'm gonna make two million dollars in a weekend,

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 6: we're good.

65
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 4: B Oh yeah, Hey, my loyals.

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 7: He's with the ww I'm a good independent contractor brother.

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: Whatever you guys need and if you need me to

68
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: shut it down, I'll do it.

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 6: Oh what a.

70
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 5: Guy, you guys.

71
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 4: He's so selfless. That's what we love about him.

72
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 6: Here's the thing, Wrestling Chat, what here I am.

73
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: We found our guy.

74
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 6: He is in WWE sort of full time, and he

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 6: uh came in with a lot of hype and early

76
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 6: on he fought everybody. He fought John Cena and Roman

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 6: Reigns because he did very well for someone who was

78
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 6: brand new to it, and so there was a lot

79
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 6: of excitement. That is several years ago. He's not nearly

80
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 6: that vital to their plans now, particularly when they said, oh,

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 6: WrestleMania is coming up. They don't have a plan for

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 6: him for WrestleMania. He'll probably be in a tag team match.

83
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 6: It wouldn't matter, and the you know, hype that they

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 6: would get from him having a high profile thing that

85
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 6: got a lot of attention is far more valuable to

86
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 6: WWE than Oh, no, Logan, Paul can't have a competitive

87
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 6: match at WrestleMania.

88
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: That was fake.

89
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: He's pinning it on WWE because for whatever reason, he

90
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 6: doesn't want to do it. The money isn't there. Maybe

91
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 6: he actually does think that he could get embarrassed if

92
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 6: ww is concerned with anything. They're like, he's gonna kick

93
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 6: your ass and then you're not going to be as

94
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 6: marketable to us anymore.

95
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounded like that, and Le'Veon Bell has been

96
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: mostly in my timeline now just clapping back at him NonStop.

97
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: So it might not be that everyone is dunking on

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: Logan Paul as much as it's just Le'Veon Bell flooding

99
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 3: my timeline with just emojis of ducks and then pictures

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: of Logan Paul's face just completely swollen from past fights

101
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: in which he's been completely hammered.

102
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 6: Maybe that's wishful thinking because I don't like him and

103
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 6: I hate his stupid face and I don't want to

104
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 6: see it when I watch wrestling.

105
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know that'll that'll go far.

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels weird to root for Le'Veon Bell again.

107
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 5: Really is a strange feeling I've been. You know, the

108
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 5: breakup was so horrible and so annoying, and then to

109
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 5: watch him not play well, it's not you know, he

110
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: he was wrong and we were punished for it. But man,

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 5: I would love to see him bash Logan Paul's face.

112
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 6: That's see you might have talked about this. They announced

113
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 6: a I think an mm A fight between Ronda Rousey

114
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 6: and Gina Carano. Oh okay, and they're one of those

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 6: one of those big Netflix specials. And Ronda Rousey is

116
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 6: just an awful person that I have. I have no

117
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 6: warmth for whatsoever until she might break Gina Carano's face.

118
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: Now let's go.

119
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 3: Now, this is how this will finally unite us all.

120
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: And then when it comes to Le'Veon Bell heal some wounds.

121
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm still mad. Mike Tyson didn't break his brother's face.

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: That was I was. I tuned in just in the

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 5: hopes I stayed up for that. I ha no, And they.

124
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 6: Put a tailor and when was the other fighter in

125
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 6: the semi main? There was a two women who fought

126
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 6: right before and absolutely wailed on each other.

127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, much better fight, and then we had to.

128
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 6: Watch an old man and a YouTuber fail to punish.

129
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 3: This hour is brought to you by a Window Nation.

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: Very warm today with times of clouds and sun. It

131
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: is a high of seventy. It also sounds like the

132
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: weather is kind of drunk this week because there's a

133
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: cold front that's approaching on Wednesday. Damaging winds, hail, and

134
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: isolated tornadoes are possible. According to ACI Weather, this is

135
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: kind of wild. I always compare the two. Aci Weather

136
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: is always violent and about five to ten degrees off

137
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: than what Apple is telling me. And usually I'm finding

138
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: that Apple has a little more chill, and so I

139
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: used whether it's for my own comfort or not. I

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: kind of like look at Apple and I'm like, Wow,

141
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: a little less crazy of a girlfriend for me.

142
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Do the weather underground?

143
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 4: What is the weather underground?

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: Of course?

145
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: Do you have a weather underground?

146
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: It's like the cool ones.

147
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 4: Before everybody gets cool.

148
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 6: It's named after terrorists and I always had that seventy

149
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 6: three and Cloudy's it's chilled today.

150
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, for whatever reason, the uh you know lore

151
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: that we were.

152
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: Getting to have spring, it's not happening.

153
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: So I guess it's going to be in the forties

154
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: for a couple of days this week. So we'll get

155
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: to the forties Thursday, Friday, and then we'll get back

156
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: to it by Sunday. It looks like we'll be back

157
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: at sixty seven. So my point is is that this

158
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: is where my grandma would tell you, this is how.

159
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: You get sick, all right.

160
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: Every so a perfect meme takes over the internet. Such

161
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: was the case this past weekend after a very mundane

162
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: tweet from TMZ boasted an exclusive about the Kelsey family.

163
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 3: The topic didn't deal with Kansas City tight end Travis

164
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: Kelcey and whether he was going to be playing next season,

165
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: which we now know he is, by the way, we'll

166
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: put a pin in that, or anything to do with

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: his upcoming nuptials to Taylor Swift.

168
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: Instead, it had to.

169
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: Do with his mom, Donna's recent turn on the peacock

170
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: reality show The Traders.

171
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: Actually it was just about her.

172
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: Home renovation, and so now that is a meme. So

173
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: people started taking that topic and just blowing it up.

174
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: So if anybody has seen over and over again major

175
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 3: current events with the meme, what about Donna Kelsey's home renovation.

176
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: That is explaining this meme for you.

177
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: So people are writing things like bombing Iran to distract

178
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: from Donna Kelce's home renovation, or millennials have lived through

179
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 3: two recessions nine to eleven Iraq in Afghanistan and Donna

180
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Kelsey's home renovation. So TMZ is kind of like owning

181
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: this one now and being like, you guys are real ones.

182
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 4: See what we did here, Thank you very much. Want

183
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: to make sure because I thought that.

184
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: That would go away fairly quickly and it is now

185
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: Tuesday and I can't get away from it.

186
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, some people were on the island, We

187
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 5: get it. What about Donna Kelsey's home renovation?

188
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: Are we doing agreeable gray or.

189
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: Not, which, by the way, I said it was going

190
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: to put up in an it. But Travis Kelcey is

191
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: going to play one more year with the Kansas City Chiefs.

192
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: According to Adam Schefter, the king of Breaking sports news,

193
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: it does sound like that's going to be a twelve

194
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: million dollar deal, maximum fifteen million. Other reports say the

195
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: future Hall of Famer turned down at meteor offers with

196
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 3: other teams to stay with Kansas City, where he's been

197
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: his entire career.

198
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: So I don't know if that's just that's one more

199
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: chance out.

200
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 6: It not that this is I dare not breathe it

201
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 6: out loud. But in a world, in an alternate universe

202
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 6: where Travis Kelcey ends up playing for Pittsburgh, are you

203
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 6: immediately all in on the circus, the drama, the romance,

204
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 6: are you immediately like, we love you, Taylor sitting in

205
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 6: the box every game. What a love It's a love story, baby,

206
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 6: Just say yes? Do you immediately get in?

207
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: Are we winning?

208
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

209
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: In this alternate in this alternate universe, if we're winning, fine, yeah, sure,

210
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 3: you know what, Because I've never been a.

211
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift person.

212
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: It's it's just always it's not been my thing, but

213
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: my daughter's away and I have to grapple with that

214
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: that there will be many things in her life that

215
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: I will not understand and I will go full bore

216
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 3: into because it's important to her.

217
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: So even last season.

218
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 3: Even though the Kansas City Chiefs were imploding a lot

219
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: of the time, there were times where I'd be watching

220
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: football and she cannot stand when that happens in the

221
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: house because she's always like, why are you doing this

222
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: to me? But she would see it on TV and

223
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: she would go, is that Taylor Swift's boyfriend? And I

224
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: would say, yes, it is, and then I'd get a

225
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 3: little bit of buy in, and that's the exchange.

226
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: So in your alternate universe, yes, if he was and.

227
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: We were winning, I would shut up because I proved

228
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: that this year with Aaron Rodgers. I was very anti

229
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers coming, and then you know, once he was

230
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: here and I'm like, and we were winning, I'm like.

231
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: What a guy, no red flags whatsoever.

232
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 6: I never got there with Rogers, but I'm you know,

233
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 6: I'm like thirty swifty as you know, so.

234
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 5: Little reluctant ted. We would absolutely celebrate their love in Pittsburgh.

235
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: It would be. It would be embarrassing how into their

236
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: story we would be. We were, you know, Russell Wilson

237
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 5: and his wife, Sierra, Sierra. We were so nice to

238
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 5: Sierra because well so she didn't like fit in. It

239
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 5: was like she's way too classy, yes to live here.

240
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 5: So we were like, hey, hey, Sierra, thanks for slumming it. Yeah.

241
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: I saw her at t Steelers training camp and I

242
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: felt badly for her, Like I just thought, you you

243
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: don't belong here, Like where where?

244
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 4: What dorm were they?

245
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 9: Like?

246
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: Are you even allowed in the dorms? You can't get

247
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: that on you. Yeah, we can't have you here. What

248
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: are they going to put you in a golf car?

249
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 3: But I can't put you in a golf car? Eat

250
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,359
Speaker 3: in the cafeteria?

251
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: What are you not?

252
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 6: Absolutely they were at Muddy Water's Oyster Bar, and it's

253
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 6: like I helpe you, Ubert, you didn't have to like

254
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 6: walk through East Liberty to go. You didn't like, you

255
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 6: didn't look for parking, did you see her? You had

256
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 6: to get a ride right.

257
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: See, the thing that we had to worry about with

258
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson's wife, we'll never have to worry about with

259
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. Way if we don't have to worry about

260
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: how anybody's gonna treat her.

261
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: She's not real.

262
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 5: I just want to say, your guy's obsession with Aaron

263
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 5: Rodgers wife is ridiculous. Okay, I mean it's really bizarre.

264
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 6: She lives in Canada and she's super pretty, and we

265
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 6: talk on the phone every night, but only when you're

266
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 6: not arount.

267
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 5: We're very in love. That's all you need to know.

268
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: No, we talked about it again yesterday. I know it's

269
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 4: just going to keep coming up.

270
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: We were saying, like, you know, even with his appearance

271
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: on McAfee, that he has the ability to take the

272
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: air out of it very quickly, and she's got a

273
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: right to privacy and she can be a very private person.

274
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: And also if he's claiming that there's a bounty for

275
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: people to see her and that it's creating now some

276
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: degree of a lack of safety in their lives, get

277
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: it over with Beyond McAfee. She can walk into the

278
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: camera frame for like a few seconds, look, she's a

279
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 3: real girl, and then then she can walk away.

280
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 6: If there's a bounty and we haven't seen her, she

281
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 6: does not exist. They found Luigi in three days in Altuna,

282
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 6: I'll hide in Altuna. Should be a really solid plan.

283
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 6: And it took three days. If no one's got a

284
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 6: picture of her.

285
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: She is not real.

286
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 5: It's a great point. I well. Also to tell people

287
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 5: that there's a bounty. Yeah, that means that when an

288
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 5: image is produced, anyone who wasn't interested is like, I mean,

289
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 5: they paid good money for this. What she looks like?

290
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: What could the bounty possibly be? What is it?

291
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 5: Five grand? Ten grand?

292
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 6: Oh, there are still tabloids, right, yeah, like the National Inquiry,

293
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: I mean that could be a million dollars.

294
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: Maybe.

295
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 3: Sports, No, I guess it's it's listen, it's it's uh,

296
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: We're we're getting past the time in which you know,

297
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: there's like kind of like a sport desert.

298
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: You know, we're getting back into it.

299
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: There's basketball, there's spring training, there's free agencies, so there's.

300
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: There's a little bit going on.

301
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: But maybe in anotherwise boring time, TMC sports would be like,

302
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 3: somebody get a picture of this trogolodyite woman that like,

303
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: because because it has to be bad, it has to.

304
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 6: Be awful, Karon, this is just a gallon of raw milk.

305
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 6: This is your wife.

306
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: Shut up, Brittany.

307
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 5: Brittany with an eye that you know what?

308
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 4: That should have been our first side.

309
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 5: I just assume she was from Pittsburgh because.

310
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 4: She's got an eye?

311
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I did. Does that is that wrong? And

312
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 5: should I not have thought that? I just I assumed

313
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: that she was from some outlying area.

314
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: I remember having a I don't know why this is, well,

315
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: I know exactly why that's coming into mind. I remember

316
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: having a meet and greet with with an artist and

317
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: bringing somebody backstage and introducing them to this.

318
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 5: Artist, like an active rock rock r a w K artist.

319
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: And introducing this girl to the artist, and he said,

320
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: what's your name? She said Brandy? And he said is

321
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: that with a y or an eye? And she said

322
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: with an eye? And he said where do you dance?

323
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: Whoa?

324
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: And she just looked at him and she went cheerleaders.

325
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 5: To sir, how dare you get me exactly new of

326
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 5: a bit?

327
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 6: The fact that you are entirely correct does not mean

328
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 6: I am not offended.

329
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: Very warm today with times of clouds and sun it

330
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: is a high of a seventy. We're gonna be talking

331
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: with Mike Decorsi, writer first Sporting News and Microsuita coming

332
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: in next with Sports on.

333
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: DVE she's the woman that has the biggest collection of

334
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: rock on the radio. On Michelle Michaels plays your requests

335
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: on the Electric Lunch at New tweek Days on DV

336
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: live from the Don's Appliances Studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.

337
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: This is w DVE Pittsburgh.

338
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 7: These sports brought to this hour by Bridgeville Appliance to

339
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 7: Steelers Active and then some in advance of the official

340
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 7: beginning of free agency. But a lot of reported deals

341
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 7: for a lot of report bucks. And the headliner, in

342
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 7: case you haven't been following along all morning, I think

343
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 7: Michael Pittman Junior, a wide receiver from Indianapolis who was

344
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 7: actually acquired by the Steelers in a trade. This is

345
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 7: the headline generating development. This is the type of player

346
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 7: they had to once and for all finally get a

347
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 7: compliment to DK metcalf at wide receiver at six foot

348
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 7: four and two hundred and twenty three pounds. The national

349
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 7: reporting says it's a swap of late round picks, and

350
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 7: then Pittman is going to get a three year, fifty

351
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 7: nine million dollar contract from the Steelers. Mark Bowley locally

352
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 7: says it's a sixth rounder from Pittsburgh going to Indy

353
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 7: and a seventh rounder and Pittman coming back. So the Colts,

354
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 7: after breaking the bank for a wide receiver Alec Pearce

355
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 7: to keep him in Indy, have pretty much just discarded

356
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 7: Pittman for whatever reason. He is twenty eight years of age,

357
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 7: He's got six years of experience, eighty catches last year

358
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 7: for seven hundred and eighty four yards and a career

359
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 7: high seven touchdowns. He has two one thousand yard seasons

360
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 7: on his resume. Cornerback Jamel Dean of Tampa Bay coming

361
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 7: to Pittsburgh for a reported three years thirty six point

362
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 7: seven five million dollars. He's twenty nine and he's got

363
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 7: seven years of NFL experience, career high three interceptions last year,

364
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 7: and he plays in the run game. And last, but

365
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 7: not least, running back Rico dal Dill of Well, formerly

366
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 7: of the Carolina Panthers and the Dallas Cowboys. He comes

367
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 7: to Pittsburgh on a reported two year, twelve point two

368
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 7: five million dollars deal. Dal Dill back to back one

369
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 7: thousand yard seasons, one with the Cowboys in twenty twenty

370
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 7: four when their coach was a guy by the name

371
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 7: of Mike McCarthy and won last year with the Panthers

372
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 7: one thousand and seventy six. He's called thirty nine passes

373
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 7: in each of the last two seasons. He has five

374
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 7: years of experience. All these guys seemingly should be in

375
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 7: the prime of their careers.

376
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 5: I'll tell you, I am relieved, like you know, to

377
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 5: have this depth. And Mike, you said at last hour,

378
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 5: these are three upgrades, you know, James Pierre to the Vikings,

379
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 5: who obviously he played well last year and that was great,

380
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: but Jamel Dean being a massive upgrade there. I don't

381
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 5: know if Dowdell will be as good as Kenneth Gainwell,

382
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 5: but they got a body there they don't have to

383
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 5: rely on Caleb Johnson.

384
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think that tells you that they're not

385
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 7: relying on Caleb Johnson. We've heard some talk coming out

386
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 7: of the organization to the contrary, but clearly not willing

387
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 7: to roll the dice and say, you know what, Caleb

388
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 7: Johnson could be the every down back this year.

389
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 9: Right.

390
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 5: That was the scary ninety minutes yesterday between Gainwell and

391
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 5: Doubt when you're looking at the backfield of just Jalen

392
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: Warren and I don't.

393
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 7: Want to discount game most contributions. He was fantastic, as

394
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 7: teammates voted him Team MVP. He made some heroic plays.

395
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 7: Everybody remembers the one in Detroit, you know, not giving

396
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 7: up on that crazy pass and then getting up and

397
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 7: scoring a touchdown. In the Jets game, he scored a

398
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 7: touchdown and then covered the subsequent kickoff and forced the fumble.

399
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 7: I mean, he was a team first guy, great teammate

400
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 7: and all that, But I don't know if he has

401
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 7: the size, and I don't know if he can do much

402
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 7: more than he can do than he did last year.

403
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 7: And I don't know that he's ever going to be

404
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 7: a thousand yard back.

405
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's a little.

406
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 7: Devalued now because they're playing more games, but it's still

407
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 7: a thing.

408
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 5: Well and Tampa Bay last year was getting inside the

409
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: five yard line and giving it to that huge third

410
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 5: down back they have whose name escapes me.

411
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 9: But a.

412
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited. I don't know even like the even

413
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 5: the minor signings like Cole Holcomb bring him back on

414
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 5: a sweetheart deal in my estimation.

415
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 7: Reported two years five million. I was going to get

416
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 7: to that. I'm glad you brought him up because there

417
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 7: was a time not too long ago where they played

418
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 7: a season where they just ran out of inside linebackers

419
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 7: and they were taking guys off the couch. Then they

420
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 7: went out and got Cole Holcomb and he was supposed

421
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 7: to be the latest answer to finally trying to replace

422
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 7: Ryan Shazer, and he played really well, and then he

423
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 7: got hurt, and then he went out and got Patrick

424
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 7: Queen and Peyton Wilson and Hulcombe was injured and working

425
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 7: his way back, but he is he has three down potential.

426
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 7: He can play the run and he can play the pass.

427
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 7: He's a good football player and as they found out

428
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 7: before they got Cole Hulkomb, he can't have enough guys

429
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 7: at that position. So that's a pretty good signing. Also,

430
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 7: the Steelers have reportedly re signed defensive lineman hussese O Tomwo,

431
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 7: who didn't play a ton last year, but he's a

432
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 7: good depth defensive line. I'man I think need as many

433
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 7: of those as they can get as well. James Pierre

434
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 7: goes to the Vikings, Isaac Samlo goes to Arizona, and

435
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 7: Gamewell goes to Tampa, So those are your deletions. We

436
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 7: also talked yesterday about the Steelers bringing a cornerback, Sante

437
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 7: Samuel Junior back.

438
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of experience.

439
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 7: He's a smaller guy, but a guy you can play

440
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 7: and win with, as they found out last year. I

441
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 7: don't think he has Dean's capability in the running game

442
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 7: anything close to that, and they got to get better

443
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 7: defending the run as well. But it has been an

444
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 7: interesting start for the Steelers. Also, the NFL announced the

445
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 7: awarding of compensatory draft picks based on last year's free

446
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 7: agent cummings and goings, and as anticipated, the Steelers get

447
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 7: four picks. They get an extra third rounder ninety ninth overall,

448
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 7: an extra four one hundred and thirty fifth overall, an

449
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 7: extra six two hundred and fourteenth overall, and another extra

450
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 7: six two hundred and sixteenth overall.

451
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 5: There's no way that they draft twelve guys, right, Mike.

452
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 2: It's trade capital.

453
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 5: You would think you would have to imagine.

454
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 7: If not in the first round, certainly thereafter. I think

455
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 7: they start throwing some draft picks at teams to move up,

456
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 7: and it might not be a significant might be four

457
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 7: or five spots, but once they start targeting a guy,

458
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 7: usually their first round. They they'll tell you they're going

459
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 7: to take the best player. What they usually do is

460
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 7: take the best player at the position they need the most. Yeah,

461
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 7: but they'll have some options and they've exercised those before.

462
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 7: Penns are in Carolina tonight, start of a five game

463
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 7: road trip that ends in Carolina. In between they go

464
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 7: to Vegas, Utah, and Colorado. Still a pretty good spot

465
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 7: in terms of a playoff spot, but they're not a lock,

466
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 7: so they need to get the points where they can

467
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 7: get them. And Robert Morris loses in the Horizon League

468
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 7: semi finals last night, seventy to sixty four to Detroit

469
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 7: mur in Indianapolis.

470
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: Colonials come up two wins.

471
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 7: Shy of making it back to back trips to the

532
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 7: minutes for us this morning. How are you here on

533
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 7: the brink of March madness.

534
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 8: Of course I'm going to find a few minutes for you.

535
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 8: This is a big moment for.

536
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 9: Me, Mike. I've been on network TV, I've been on

537
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 9: radio across the country.

538
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 8: This is my first appearance ever on the station I

539
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 8: grew up listening to.

540
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 2: So of course I said, yes, I appreciate that.

541
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 7: One of the reasons I wanted to have you, Well,

542
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 7: you are the preeminent college hoops expert in the country.

543
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: That's the main reason.

544
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 7: But some of your takes about the transfer portal and

545
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 7: NIL and what the players are making and all the movement,

546
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 7: A lot of people are recoiling at this, and you're

547
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 7: kind of embracing it.

548
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: What's the state of the game right now?

549
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 8: The game is better than it's been probably since the

550
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 8: early nineties, because more players are remaining in the game.

551
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 8: It was only six or seven years ago that players

552
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 8: who were juniors and seniors and who were maybe not

553
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 8: I mean, we're not talking about players like Kevin Durant

554
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 8: or someone like that. We're talking about guys who were

555
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 8: maybe going to.

556
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 9: Get drafted in the second round. But if they stuck around.

557
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 8: In college, they might get better and might get drafted

558
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 8: more prominently, or but they just had to make some

559
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 8: money play in the game, and so they would leave,

560
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 8: and college basketball got worse. And now they're staying because

561
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 8: actually the money for them is better even in some instances,

562
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 8: than playing it on the fringes of the NBA. So

563
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 8: I think it's been really good for the sport in

564
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 8: that sense. And we've also seen the game cleaned up.

565
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 8: From the standpoint of what I was watching with Bob

566
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 8: Huggins coaching Cincinnati. Look, they were really good at what

567
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 8: they did, bumping cutters and getting in guys way for

568
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 8: charges and coming up the lane. But it wasn't what

569
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 8: basketball was meant to be, and it wasn't as entertaining

570
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 8: as it should be. And now all that stuff is

571
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 8: not allowed any longer, and more teams are scoring more

572
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 8: points making more shots. I was doing are All America

573
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 8: list that will be a release tomorrow, and I'm putting

574
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 8: the stats in and all these guys are shooting forty six,

575
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 8: forty eight fifty plus percent. When I used to do

576
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 8: those really great players are shooting forty two and forty

577
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 8: three percent because they were getting pounded on every shot.

578
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 7: Of course, the downside theoretically to the money that's being

579
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 7: spent is there's no salary cap, but not everybody can

580
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 7: spend the way the people who are spending the most

581
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 7: are spending. Will there be fewer cinderellas or is that

582
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 7: still going to be an element of March madness.

583
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 8: Well, I think that there's two elements that. First of all,

584
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 8: the last year which was our first real year.

585
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 9: In an era of significant.

586
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 8: Money spent, and we've seen this go in this direction

587
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 8: over the last four or five years. But last year

588
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 8: there was a lot of money spent, and there was

589
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 8: even more this year, and last year we did not

590
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 8: have as many cinderellas. And some of that comes from

591
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 8: the players.

592
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 9: A lot of the.

593
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 8: Players that are getting paid and transferring are from those schools.

594
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 8: We saw it with Robert Morris. Robert Morris lost last night.

595
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 8: The guy who was their player of the year a

596
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 8: year ago, Volgaris, now plays for Iowa, and so we've

597
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 8: seen that, and it does weaken teams like Robert Morris

598
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 8: and others around the country to play at the mid

599
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 8: major level, and.

600
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 9: So we probably won't see as many upsets.

601
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 8: What I point out is that we didn't used to

602
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 8: see that many upsets when all this began, when March

603
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 8: Madness became a big thing in eighty.

604
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 9: Five ninety ninety five, and then it started to go

605
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 9: in this direction.

606
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 8: As I mentioned before, the power teams were weakened by

607
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 8: players going professional.

608
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 7: Mike, you mentioned Robert Morris, a moment ago andy tool

609
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 7: of the longtime head coach there. He didn't just lose

610
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 7: the player of the Year to IOWA out of the

611
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 7: Horizon League last year, he lost twelve of his thirteen

612
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 7: guys and he got back to the Horizon League semi final.

613
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 7: What's the opinion of this guy nationally? And I know

614
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 7: he's not a you know, chase the next buck wherever

615
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 7: you can find it kind of guy. But are you

616
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 7: a little surprised he's been at RMU as long as

617
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 7: he has And do you expect him to be there

618
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 7: long term?

619
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 8: You know, I am glad he's been there for as

620
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 8: long as he has because it's great for Robert Morris.

621
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 8: He's a tremendous coach. I was thinking about this. I

622
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 8: there was in twenty thirteen there was a job opening

623
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 8: and the Athletic director. I don't get a ton of

624
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 8: these calls, but I get some. And the athletic director

625
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 8: called me, asked me who I liked around the country,

626
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 8: and I mentioned Andy. I was twenty thirteen. He's still

627
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 8: there at Robert Morris. I'm kind of surprised that someone

628
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 8: didn't catch on to how skilled he is, how gifted

629
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 8: he is as a coach. But it's great for Pittsburgh.

630
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 8: I know he's happy here. I've communicated with him from time.

631
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 9: To time, and I know he's happy here.

632
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 8: I'm sure he would have liked the opportunity to get

633
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 8: a shot at a higher level, because the money is

634
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 8: significant for a coach in the.

635
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 9: Big East or in the ACC or whatever.

636
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 8: But it's Robert Morris's gift that no one else figured

637
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 8: it out.

638
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 7: I'm also old enough to remember when pitt basketball was

639
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 7: perhaps the toughest ticket in town.

640
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: It's not anymore.

641
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 7: Is there is there a short answer to what needs

642
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 7: to happen in Oakland to get that rolling again?

643
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 8: The short answer, Mike, is the time machine that goes

644
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 8: back to twenty fifteen and tells all the people that

645
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 8: I was telling Dan this is true.

646
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 9: I used to appear on radio here when I was

647
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 9: living elsewhere.

648
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 8: And every radio interview I did in Jamie Dixon's period

649
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 8: devolved into a defense of Jamie Dixon. I couldn't understand

650
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 8: how people forgot so fast what pitt Basketball once was

651
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 8: and had been recently before Ben Howland and Jamie came

652
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 8: and invigorated it. What needs to happen now? They need

653
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 8: more money in the program. I keep hearing that there's

654
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 8: a lot of money available, and I know that pitt

655
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 8: didn't spend all their money that they did spend super

656
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 8: wisely this year.

657
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 9: But I don't think that they're.

658
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 8: Spending the kind of money that's being spent at the

659
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 8: upper level of the acc on the player roster. I

660
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 8: haven't seen that reflected in the results of.

661
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 9: Who they bring in. I know that they brought they.

662
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 8: Did sign a player and did spend a significant amount

663
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 8: of money on him, and then he was unable to play.

664
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 8: He was not healthy enough to play the whole year,

665
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 8: and that certainly had a huge impact on what they

666
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 8: were able to do this year.

667
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: Well, Mike, it's sort of it's not Pittsburgh, but it's

668
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: in our backyard, and you know it makes I think

669
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 5: pitt basketball fans sort of hopeful that it's even possible.

670
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 5: But the Miami RedHawks are Miami, Ohio Redhocks are thirty

671
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 5: one to hero. How do they fit into the picture

672
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 5: for you? And where do you land on the annoying

673
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 5: discourse on the subject of whether or they deserve to

674
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 5: be in the tournament?

675
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 8: I think the annoying The reason it's annoying is because

676
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 8: the people who do what I do for Fox, which

677
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 8: now I do it and I get a check for that,

678
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 8: and a lot of people do it very well because

679
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 8: it's fun to them, and they do it and they

680
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 8: post their brackets on their own website or whatever. By

681
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 8: the time we get to selection Sunday, there'll be about

682
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 8: two hundred of them or so that are posted online

683
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 8: and they are select They are gathered at a place

684
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 8: called the Bracket Matrix, which shows you everybody's and then

685
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 8: does a consensus sort of ranking. And so a lot

686
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 8: of the people that do that know that Miami is

687
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 8: solidly into the field, and a lot of the people

688
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 8: that don't pay any attention to what we do but

689
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 8: just want to talk.

690
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 9: Think that it's a question.

691
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, technically it was a question until they

692
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 8: finished it. But when we're doing what we're doing. We're

693
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 8: doing it as if that day is Election Sunday, and

694
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 8: so I've never had a question as an undefeated Miami

695
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 8: team that even if they were to lose their conference tournament,

696
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 8: that they would get in. And then they finished the

697
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 8: undefeated season on Friday night at OHIOU, So there's never

698
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 8: been a real doubt unless they failed to finish it.

699
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 8: And once they finished it, that discussion's over. They're going

700
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 8: to be in the field. It's just a question of

701
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 8: where they get seated and whether they allow, in a sense,

702
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 8: another MAC team like Akron or Kent State or someone

703
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 8: like that to get in there with them, and I'm

704
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 8: sure Miami wants no part of that. They're going to

705
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 8: compete like heck up in Cleveland on this weekend and

706
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 8: try to make it automatic.

707
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 7: Micha, will you make it down to ppg all this

708
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 7: week and catch any of the eight ten event?

709
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 9: Yeah?

710
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 8: You know, I began covering the A ten. That was

711
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 8: my first college basketball job covering. I did a West

712
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 8: Virginia a little bit my first year at the Pittsburgh Press,

713
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 8: and then my first real college basketball beat was Duquane

714
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 8: So I definitely want to be down there. My intent

715
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 8: is to try to make it down on Thursday and

716
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 8: Friday afternoons. I have obligations to talk about the brackets

717
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 8: for Fox in the evenings those days, so I'm going

718
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 8: to try to at least make it down for the

719
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 8: noon games. And it's really cool that it's back here

720
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 8: after fifty years. I mean, when I was in high

721
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 8: school early college, the Eastern Eight got started and started

722
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 8: playing there at the Arena, and so it's really cool

723
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 8: that it's coming back to town.

724
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 7: Last thing I got for you, Mike, from a national perspective,

725
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 7: other than Michigan State, who's the favorite to cut down the.

726
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 5: Nets for me?

727
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 9: I kind of like Arizona.

728
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 8: I mean, Duke has been really imposing, very difficult to

729
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 8: play against, and Cameron Boozer is the best player in

730
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 8: college basketball this year, and dealing with him at both

731
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 8: ends of the floor as a challenge. He's so skilled.

732
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 8: His father was a great player, Carlos Boozer was a

733
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 8: great player at Duke and then in the NBA for

734
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 8: a long time. I think he won a gold medal

735
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 8: with the US Olympic team in Oa, and I'm pretty

736
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 8: sure he was on that team. And the Sun is

737
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 8: really gifted, and much more so even than his dad.

738
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 8: His dad grew up in an era where you play

739
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 8: if you were his size, you played down low near

740
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 8: the bucket. And and Carlos got great at that.

741
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 9: And but his sons grew up.

742
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 8: Cayden is a young The other son is a point guard,

743
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 8: not as tall as as as Cameron is. But Cameron

744
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 8: grew up under learning to understand how to play all

745
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 8: over the floor. And he can shoot, he can hack, pass,

746
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 8: he can handle the basketball. He's going to be a

747
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 8: load for anybody in the NCAA tournament to deal with.

748
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 7: Oh good, more, Duke, My great, great visit. Thanks for

749
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 7: thanks again for making time for us. Let's do it

750
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 7: again soon.

751
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 9: Oh absolutely.

752
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 8: I loved how you slipped the Spartans in there. That

753
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 8: was really that was very You've become a true broadcasting

754
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 8: pro the way you slip that in there.

755
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 7: Well, I think I gets assumed by most people that

756
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 7: know what they're talking about, but just for the uninitiated,

757
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 7: you know, little hint.

758
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: Thanks again, Michael, very much. Thank you.

759
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 5: Oh man, that was awesome.

760
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 4: I could taste the draft beer right now.

761
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: I could talk coach with that guy all day.

762
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,080
