00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: It's the DV morning show, Randy, but I'm going alone

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: with Abbey Krisner. Our buddy Ted Whistle's hanging out with

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: us this morning. And on Fridays, we opened the program

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: getting ready for a big weekend of Steeler football by

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: checking in with our friend across the coast from the

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Football America podcast.

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 2: But Pittsburgh's own ladies and.

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: Gentlemen, brought to you by the Gateway Clipper Double d

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Dave Damage.

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: Ye here it comes.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: It's a pleasure to be with you once again. And yeah,

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: a week ago, I was really excited not just for

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: the for the Steelers game, but also for the pick

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: game an actor shure against the visitors from Notre Dame.

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: I was struck by a few things. It was a

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: disappointing game, but you know, of course we were ad

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: pre absolved of any tension because it was it wasn't

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: a must win game. I do want to get to

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: the fact and.

20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: These guys can rob our house and everything's fine. They

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: could sleep with our wives next week as long as

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: we beat Georgia. Tacket doesn't matter.

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 3: I mean, it kind is true, but also you know,

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: you know, I take a man's got to stand for

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: something in this world, and I thank everybody. My thing

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: in life is taking everyone else to task, you know,

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: for their significant mistakes, like calling something a must win

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: game when it's not a must win game. It's you know,

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: the Steelers are not in a must win game on

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: Sunday up in Chicago, but they better get it. They

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: want to get the double digit wins because go through

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: the schedule. We'll get to that in a second, but

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: that pit games amused me on a couple of fronts.

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: First of all, in the midle all the luminaries were

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: on the sidelines, Tony Dorset and everybody else not Tony

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: dor Set. My grandfather in nineteen seventy two call up

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: in the Hope Well called my father and said, I

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: just watched this kid, Tony dor SIT's going to break

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: all the records and he's on his way to pick

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: next year. And so he did. And I got to

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: tell Tony Dorset, my grandfather, my late grandfather, watched you

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: play and I told him that story. And now you

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: and I sit here right around the year two thousand,

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: you and I are sitting in the same room. What

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: a thrill this is for me to complete that circle

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: And Tony Dorse's response was, huh, Look.

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: He appears to have suffered significant cognitive issues from his

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: years playing football, so I'm going to attribute it to

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: that and not anything impolite.

50
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: No. But then, but then it was on a later date,

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: Tony Dorset and I sat down once again and I

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: told him that story on the air, and in that

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: occasion he was more interested in it. And I then

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: asked if I could, if I could be grandfathered in

55
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: much like my grandfather, to calling him Dorset instead of

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: the fancy pants nunciation Dorset that that he used once

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: he got down to Dallas, and he afforded me that.

58
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: So Tony Dorsett was there and everybody else, and why

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: the pronunciation.

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: I know why Thaisman did, but why did Dorset.

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: I think it was legitimately just sort of like a

62
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: fancy pants affectation down there with with the cowboy hat wears.

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: By the way, we don't talk about that enough. That

64
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: period in Americana when when people, just because of the

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: popularity of the TV show Dallas, including everybody around the country,

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: started wearing cowboy hats, including our own pop Stargele, who

67
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: he walked around for several years wearing a cowboy hats.

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: Bradshaw. We had a lot of cowboys on that team.

69
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: Well they were cowboys, right, so they properly should be

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: wearing this. I still think the weirdest period was after Swingers.

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 3: I remember going into bars and people would have those

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: big chains hanging on their pants and they would wear

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 3: zoot suit out and they were twenty three. Boy, those

74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: people were jackasses. No offense to anybody in that room

75
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: who may have been drawn into that. But anyway, so

76
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: also on the sideline was Pitt basketball great Sam Clancy,

77
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: and they cut away to him and they had they

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: had the graphic underneath Hugh Greens. Yeah, they misidentified him.

79
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: So it's not Joe Tess's fault necessarily, except that Joe

80
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: test is kind of a jackass himself, so he had

81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 3: to really play it up. And they cut It's Sam

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: Clancy Cairn as Hugh Green and.

83
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: He goes there.

84
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: It's the greatest offensive lineman in college football history, which

85
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: is ironical. Sam Clancy never played a snap.

86
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: Of college football, but nevertheless, but what a basketball player

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Sam Clancy was.

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, same Clancy walked so clyde Vaud could run,

89
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: and then at the end of the game, as you

90
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: may have noticed, pitch scored and a lot of Notre

91
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: Dame people were very very upset about this. They picked

92
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: all the time out with fifteen seconds left and and

93
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: never mind, I mean that they tried to score a

94
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: touchdown at the end of the game. People are how

95
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: dare they try to score a touchdown? You know, the

96
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: backups have parents too, their families like to see him

97
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: score touchdowns and all of that. So I think it

98
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: was it was a moment of empathy from the dudes

99
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: in a in a non must win game. But as

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: he as as pitch scores at the gun, Jesse Palmer

101
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: hilariously chimes in with, like, just out of curiosity, what's

102
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: the points spread on this one? Hey? Great, great, great

103
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: time in our society to be to be insinuating that

104
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: the games are fixed. You're really doing a great job

105
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 3: and college football, this is the perfect opportunity for you

106
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: to crack wise with it, with your with your A plush,

107
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: with your A plus job.

108
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: But you know he missed his ticket because had he

109
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: been a reality start just six seven years later, he'd

110
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: be running the transportation department right now.

111
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: True, and instead this is what he had to deal

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: with right as he was coming off of The Bachelor.

113
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: He as people may forget, not just as the host,

114
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: he was once the Bachelor himself. This is a dating

115
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: show in which everybody knows where they encourage you with

116
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: what do they call it the dream Suite? What do

117
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: they call it the Fantasy Suite? They give you a

118
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: key to go put your love on whatever bachelorette you choose.

119
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: You know, it's encouraged all that. So I I Palmer's

120
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: coming off of that, and he's just starting at ESPN

121
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: as I am starting my ESPN radio show in Los Angeles.

122
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: And so they booked Jesse Palmer to talk some college football,

123
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: but of course I like to talk about the game

124
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 3: of life as well, And so I said that Jesse,

125
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: before we get into USC and U c l a

126
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: here real quick, what was your number on on the Bachelor?

127
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: And he said, what what do you mean by that?

128
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: And I said, you know you're bachelor, you know, not

129
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: all women bachelor. Yeah. Well, I mean I'm not crude

130
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: like you, but you know I was a gentleman about it, yes,

131
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: and he and and we arrived finally at the at

132
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: the number being six, which you know, it's a press

133
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: an impressive number. What do they have? Twenty there? Six

134
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: of them?

135
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: Okay? And then I mean that does get you in

136
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame?

137
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: I I think so? But who am I to say?

138
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: I don't know? You know, but so I So we

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: continue with the conversation and about football the rest of

140
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: the way, and then the next morning I wake up

141
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: to a phone message from an executive at ESPN. Jesse

142
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: Palmer took this to the highest levels at ESPN Radio.

143
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: He was offended by the question how how how dare

144
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: I ask him that on the air? Now, mind you,

145
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: I didn't go on the dating show where you're encouraged

146
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: to put your love on as many women as you can.

147
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: I merely asked him about it.

148
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: But I, well, yeah, I had.

149
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: I had to blow the phone call in So then

150
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: I find myself out of body calling former Florida Gators

151
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: star and Bachelor love maker Supreme Jesse Palmer, and thank

152
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: goodness I got his voicemail instead of his live voice.

153
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: But I had to call him and apologize. That was

154
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: the remedy for my violated I apologize for bringing up

155
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: the fact that you slept with multiple women on a

156
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: game show.

00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: You were on a show yesterday and I by the way,

161
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: you just said it there, bowman, I've been I've been

162
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: talking about this quite a bit lately. You just said

163
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: slept with which is replaced. When we were growing up,

164
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: TV shows and movies always that the act was always

165
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: referred to as making love. And I'm curious, has any

166
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: man on the planet Earth, un ironically ever said let's

167
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: make love. Let's let's let's art when we made love

168
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: last night? Has anybody said that in a sincere way

169
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: ever in the history of people, because.

170
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 2: It's all over movies. Eddie Murphy addressed this.

171
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: I believe in raw you know, like you know, I

172
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: make love to women I love, but you know it's

173
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: like I bleep women I love. I don't make love

174
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: to them. I bleep them. Do you want someone to

175
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: say make love to me? Or do you want someone

176
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: to grab the back of your head and to sleep.

177
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: Out of me?

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: Other?

179
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: Yes, well he he makes love and how he? But yeah,

180
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: it's it's funny. That's one of those things in movies,

181
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 3: that that's something that happens in movies that make love

182
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: and all that that never happens in real life. My

183
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: favorite one of those are near the top of the

184
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: list is they're never in history has this happened in

185
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: real life. But there are hundreds, if not thousands.

186
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: Of move movie.

187
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: Deaths that occur with with people with that are the

188
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: result of people fighting on top of moving train cars.

189
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: You know, it never happens in real life, but people

190
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: always are fighting on top of moving train car.

191
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: How do you know?

192
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: How do you know what?

193
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 2: How do you know that it's not going on?

194
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: I guess I'm being overly cynical. Maybe I'm just.

195
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: Not aware train fight club that's going on that you're

196
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: not privy to.

197
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you know.

198
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just adept at keeping their balance and don't

199
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: fall off to a grizzly death that gets reported in

200
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: the trip the next day.

201
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: Well, it always gets to back, it always, it always

202
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: is the fate of the bad guy. It never happens

203
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: to the good guy. But the bad guy never notices

204
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: the oncoming tunnels, you know, his back's always turned to it,

205
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: and then like the good guy sees it over the

206
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 3: back guy's shoulder, and then the bad guy turns around

207
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: just in time to see he's about to meet his

208
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: demise at the hands of this wall or rock that

209
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: he's going to run into. But yeah, I've heard the

210
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: trains running there by Old mo damashek in Egmont, And

211
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 3: maybe I should keep a keener eye out there to

212
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: see if people are fighting on top of it.

213
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: Perhaps perhaps rule number one of train Fight Club do

214
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: not talk about train fight club.

215
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 3: That's true.

216
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: That's why you wouldn't know about it. Nobody would know,

217
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: otherwise they wouldn't be getting that club.

218
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you want to do that or be the bachelor,

219
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 3: let's talk about that.

220
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about our non bachelor quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who's

221
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: very happily married to a person.

222
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: So look, yeah, he's anti Koe.

223
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: He's got the wrist injury, all right, that's very real now,

224
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: whether or not it prevents him from playing this weekend,

225
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: where do you land on the He is the Boogeyman

226
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: to the bears, and we must do everything we can

227
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: to put him on that field. He is Ogie Oglethorpe

228
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: walking out there. He is Frankie five Angels brother walking

229
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: into the courtroom and Godfather too. It immediately changes the

230
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: trajectory of everything that's about to happen.

231
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: I like that they didn't change the outfit. When when

232
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: Frankie five Angels comes in with the brother that they

233
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 3: that like, they brought him straight from Italy. They put

234
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: him on the plane. They didn't even have time to

235
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 3: dress them up, and I'm like, in a suit, no

236
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: farm clothes. He's like, I was just shepherding. What's going on?

237
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: It's got that funny little hat. I don't even know

238
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: what you'd call that thing. But anyhow, No, I mean,

239
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: you know, I like tradition and all that. I think

240
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: I've made that pretty clear, But I don't believe in

241
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: voodoo though. I mean, like Aaron Rodgers, here's the thing

242
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: that people what's emerged for me is a lot of

243
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: people have a difficult time distinguishing between the name brand

244
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: and the reality of what that brand is. In the

245
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: year of Our Lord twenty twenty five, I mean Aaron Rodgers, Yeah.

246
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 5: I get it.

247
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: Like people, you think Mason Rudolph is as good as

248
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. No, not in their respective primes. But Aaron Rodgers,

249
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: who clearly before the risk injury, was prioritizing not getting hit,

250
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: now has a left wrist injury. So when he sees

251
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: anybody within ten yards of him. What do you think

252
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: he's going to try to do he gets the ball

253
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 3: out of his priority is very much like Ben Roethlisberger's

254
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: in the twilight of his career, which is like what

255
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and every other old guy

256
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: does it at the end of it. They don't want

257
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: to get hit because they understand their own mortality. And

258
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 3: so of course Aaron Rodgers is like that. So that's

259
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: not a good place to start with your starting quarterback

260
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 3: in the quarterback league. So of course it should be

261
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph here. And I think it's ridiculous, but like

262
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: the indulgence of this when I mean, the guy is

263
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: not going to be able to literally defend himself so

264
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: long as he has a ball in his throwing hand,

265
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: what's he going to fend off an oncoming defender with

266
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: if not his left hand, Well, he's gonna turtle it up,

267
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 3: is what his react?

268
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: Well, maybe a little like a plastic poker. They're just something.

269
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: It's just a little fact like, yeah, something to keep

270
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: in them.

271
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: In like a captain hook hook kind of thing like that.

272
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: Maybe that like you you want some of this, come

273
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: get it? Yeah, like, yeah, that would be interesting.

274
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that, something that's attached to.

275
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: One of those and my next I need one of

276
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: them hooks for my next top of train fight too.

277
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, whether it's whether it's him or Okay,

278
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: so you make it clear, Yeah, the boogeyman thing is

279
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: not relevant in twenty five Okay, so h assuming you

280
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: know either Mason or Aaron Rodgers in there. I still

281
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: think Arthur Smith needs to think of this as despite

282
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: who's behind center, you have to go through Jalen Warren.

283
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, like as long as Jalen Warren is right. But

284
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: you know, Caleb Johnson, this this holding back, this precious

285
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: is Is Caleb Johnson ready to contribute? I want to

286
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: get him. Mike Tomlin is quoted in the broadcast last Sunday, like,

287
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: you know, Mike told us he'd like to get Caleb

288
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: Johnson some more snaps. If only Mike Tomlin had any say,

289
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: and who gets the ball and what I mean?

290
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: Okay, but he's a rookie.

291
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: This is not This is not a quarterback. Running Backs

292
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: are ready to if they are if they are good,

293
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: they're ready to roll on day one in the NFL.

294
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: He's not like there's a learning curve. He's I disagree

295
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: with that. Okay, what you think? What do you think

296
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: the bus Then that's a problem.

297
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: I agree.

298
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: I never understood this. This Uh you know, they just

299
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: thought fant of company, he's going to be the next Nogy.

300
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: We're giving him all the workload we gave Naugy. That

301
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: was the narrative when he got drafted, and I asked

302
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: everybody all summer, why is it that we're just assuming

303
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: this guy's going to come in here and do this

304
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: lo and behold. He couldn't do it, and he made

305
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: mistake after a mistake, and he was towering at the

306
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: line on contact.

307
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: He was completely shutting down.

308
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: He went down on first hit every time he got

309
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: one chance at a breakaway.

310
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: This weekend, he grabbed a guy by the face mask,

311
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: I mean his head. Yeah.

312
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: Can he come around from a mental standpoint not to

313
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: do stuff like that.

314
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: That's dumb.

315
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: Yes, But running in the NFL is different than running

316
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:26,359
Speaker 1: against Iowa State. He has to be able to continue

317
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: after contact. He has to hit the hole even when

318
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: somebody's there. He can't dance around and wait. And he's

319
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: got a big problem with making the transition to the pros.

320
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: Do I think he's a bus No, but I think

321
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: he's more likely headed in the bus direction than he

322
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: is headed into the envy of the AFC direction.

323
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: Wow Bowman, Yeah, I mean, listen, you're damning him pretty

324
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: good here, and maybe you're right. I don't know, but

325
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: I mean again, that would be a fundamentally atrocious move

326
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: by the Pittsburgh Steelers to burn that pick then on

327
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: somebody who as If you are right, I do agree

328
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: with you that if he is the man, then we

329
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: would know he's the man by now. I just don't know.

330
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 3: It's the end of November's wild I but Penn State

331
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 3: not playing a freshman, you know what I mean?

332
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: This is this They needed this guy and he couldn't

333
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: do it. It was too big for him. He screwed

334
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: up a kickoff. He you know, he put the ball

335
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: on the carpet a couple of times. He couldn't pick

336
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: up any blocks. He was not ready for prime time

337
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: on delivery, and they crowned him as the guy who

338
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: was going to take over for Nausey, who was probably

339
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: the most underappreciated running back the Steelers have had in

340
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: the last five years.

341
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: Because the team wasn't winning playoff games well.

342
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: Because it's where they where he was drafted that everybody

343
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 3: resented Naji Harritt. But it will take a running back. Well,

344
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I'm with you on a lot of

345
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: what you said there. I also think it's the Steeler's

346
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 3: precious process that is gotten in the way of Caleb Johnson.

347
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: Berry fostered that the same stupid, I mean monumentally stupid.

348
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 3: Good thing. You're a pro football player and you don't

349
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 3: know the kickoff rules. You're back there to be the

350
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 3: kickoff returner, but you don't know what the rule is.

351
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: Barry Foster did that two generations ago, and he worked

352
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: out for a little while in Pittsburgh as well. The

353
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: difference is here is this is this weird like we

354
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 3: got to ramp our guys up so that they're ready

355
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: to be steal so they stand the way the Steeler

356
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: Like listen, hey, Mike Tomlin, you know it's you know

357
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 3: about free agency, man, like you waste a rookie year

358
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: now the clock is really picking on a guy. This

359
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: is foolishness. But okay, whether it's Kenny Gainwell or Jalen

360
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: Warren or Caleb Johnson, they better for real. I'm not

361
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: trying to be negative, which has become now the trend

362
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: with Dave when I talk about the Steelers over the

363
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: last year and a half. By the way, I'm also

364
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: right about everything I've said about the Steelers for the

365
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 3: last year and a half. I hate the pat myself

366
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: on the back, who are my kid? And I love

367
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: to do it now, except it makes me sad in

368
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: this case, because I want the Steelers to be good.

369
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: They better win this game against the Bears, because after

370
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 3: that reminder, you want some cynicism, you want some glass Dude, Dave.

371
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 3: They're six and four in the first place, which is

372
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: which you complaining about? Well this year, I mean one

373
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: year ago at this time they were eight and two.

374
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: They were just coming off of a win against the

375
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens. How did the season work out? Well? They

376
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: went ten and seven. Why because at the back end

377
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 3: of the of the schedule they played four good teams.

378
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 3: They lost all four of those. Guess what if the

379
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: Stealers lose today, I lose on Sunday, They're gonna be

380
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 3: six and five. They felt to play the Bears at

381
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: Detroit and the Ravens twice. You think they're getting to

382
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: ten wins with that schedule, They're gonna have to pull

383
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: some mighty upsets to get there. If they dropped this

384
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: one to the Bears, who by the way, are good

385
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 3: themselves and are also deeply incentive to win this game

386
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: to hold on the first place themselves, this is a

387
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 3: tough spot. It all rounds. I listen. I know people, Oh, dude,

388
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 3: you don't like Mike Tomlin who was more supportive of

389
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin than Dave. How you know? The remarkable never

390
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 3: losing even streak is something to point at and no

391
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: matter how much people try to diminish.

392
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: It, it is.

393
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: It is amazing that he was able to do that.

394
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: But like I said last year, they should have moved

395
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: on to Ben Johnson.

396
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 4: Yep.

397
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: Well, he's doing amazing things there in Chicago, no doubt.

398
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: Dave Damna check Football America podcast. Make sure to check

Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he didn't have a whole lot of opportunities

403
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: to shoot the ball.

404
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: There, dude, what do you want to hear?

411
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: Well Bill has sailed on to greener comedy pastures, which

412
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: means we can't do pick six anymore on the road,

413
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: but I can do my end.

414
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, He's on the road, that's right. So

415
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: instead I'll be doing three and out for you.

416
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: These are games that are guaranteed to probably, maybe, likely

417
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: possibly be a lock.

418
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's get it started.

419
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: The Browns at the Raiders, oh minus four. This game

420
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: is the worst thing to happen to Las Vegas since

421
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: the Rico Act, at least the mob who had a

422
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: treated guy who lost a month's salary playing Keno. No

423
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: more free ba Phaser Bogo coupons for the Robin Tug

424
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: Joint off Fremont Street, since Corporate America took over since City.

425
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: This game is so bad I'm surprised or not flexing

426
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: it to the XFL. Both both of these teams are

427
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: two and eight, and when you watch them, all you

428
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: can think of is how they get two. Neither of

429
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: these coaches are buying any green bananas, and there won't

430
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: be a quarterback in the building that will last in

431
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: the NFL longer than a stick of juicy fruit.

432
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 2: But I digress. Let's start with Cleveland.

433
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: After doing everything humanly possible to not play Shadoor Sanders,

434
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: including trading for a QB, drafting another, conscripting a couple,

435
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: shanghaiing a few more elder abusing a free agent quarterback

436
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: to within an inch of him quitting the sport, the

437
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: Browns now have no other choice but to start should Sanders,

438
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: and after watching him play in the second half last week,

439
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: they'd be better off starting Bernie Sanders. Hell, they'd be

440
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: better off starting Bernie Kozar, and he just had a

441
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: liver transplant.

442
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: Last week.

443
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: Shador was four of seventeen with an interception and two

444
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: sacks that he made exponentially worse by running backwards.

445
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 2: He makes Kenny Pickett look like Mike Vick under pressure.

446
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: And since he'll be suited up for the Raiders, Kenny

447
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: might just give Shador a backwards run for his money.

448
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: On this one.

449
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a real chance you see the Raiders

450
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: cross the picket line because Gino Smith has stunk worse

451
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: than a stripper's g string after.

452
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 2: A double shift.

453
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: Gino's postgame presser after getting ripped by the Cowboys last

454
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: week an instant classic.

455
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 2: I keep saying this, man, if some don't look right

456
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: out there, blaming it on me, right, If it don't

457
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 2: look right, blame it on me. That's all you can do.

458
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 4: Blame it on me.

459
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 2: If your kids mess up with school, blame it on me.

460
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: Carbrick down going to work, Blame it on me.

461
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: Careful with that generosity of culpability, Gino, because the shador

462
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: stands will blame you for when he stinks. Josina Anderson

463
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: already has it written up in her draft folder. The

464
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: Browns traded Kenny to the Raiders in the preseason, continuing

465
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: to toss the hot potato of his career and making

466
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: him lug that Levin furniture couch to his third team

467
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: in two years. And when Pickett finally does take charge,

468
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is gonna batter him so hard it'll make

469
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: what he did the Mason look like he was brushing

470
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: some lint off his shoulder.

471
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: He killed Kenny. You pastered.

472
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Brown's defense wins this one by themselves, and Ryan Clark

473
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: Will claims Stefanski should be fired for not playing Shador

474
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: sooner booking.

475
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Browns next Eagles at the Cowboys. Cowboys

476
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 2: getting three and a half.

477
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni, the second most popular former IUP coach Jacob

478
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: nod to you and your Indiana squad. Well, he's flying

479
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: his brotherly Bird's to Jerry World this weekend to face

480
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: their division rival Dallas Cowboys. Last week, Cowboys receiver CD

481
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: Lamb and George Pickens were bench for the first series

482
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: of the game for team conduct violation. The team won't

483
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: say what the violation was, but given the yearly ongoing

484
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: soap opera in Dallas, they probably shot JR.

485
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: If you're under forty, google it.

486
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys interim coach Brian Schottenneimer at this point, every coach

487
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: in Dallas is interim as far as I'm concerned. He

488
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: refused to say what the dumbnamic duo were doing that

489
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: got them bench, but he did praise them for not

490
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: thinking the first series they were allowed to play. Quote,

491
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: they literally jump started the offense. When they got back in,

492
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: they didn't hang their heads, they didn't do any of

493
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: that stuff.

494
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: That's why I love these guys.

495
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 4: Man.

496
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer later excused Pickens on sportsmanlike conduct penalty on a

497
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: touchdown celebration, saying I just.

498
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: Love the way he plays. This is giving big.

499
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: They pooped in my range drover, but if it wasn't

500
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: for them, I'd be driving a Kia Energy. Good news

501
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: for fans of Schadenfreud. Though HBO's Hard Knocks in season,

502
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: NFC East will be filming behind the scenes of this

503
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: week's practices and games for this year's NFL Shank sanctioned

504
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: Look Behind the Curtain. This is the fifth time Jerry

505
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Jones has turned the Cowboys into a TV show. This

506
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: year alone, there were NFL Netflix docu series America's Team,

507
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: The Gambler and His Cowboys, America's Sweetheart, The Sweethearts, The

508
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and Jerry also did a cameo in

509
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: the show Landman. He was featured in an episod of

510
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: Botched Epic Plastic Surgery Disasters, and I'm still waiting for

511
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: him to pop up in the Ken Burns American Revolution

512
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: documentary as Young Boy in Town Square. But the only

513
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: TV show in which the Cowboys fans want to see

514
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: Jerry's overlifted face is the Super Bowl. It's been nearly

515
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: thirty years since they've been back, and Cowboys fans want

516
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: them to start focusing on Lombards instead of Emmys. And

517
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are primed for an upset because the Eagles

518
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: have not exactly been flying straight. They needed a bogus

519
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: pi penalty to beat the Lions last week. Aj Brown

520
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: has been bitching up a storm on Twitch about how

521
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: the offense has more cracks than the Liberty Bell, which,

522
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: to be fair, that has only one crack, and Sa

523
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: Kwan can't even get this team to crack the top

524
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: ten in rushing. Plus every time Jalen hurts his ask

525
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: what's wrong with his team, he keeps saying stupid cryptic

526
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: stuff like I didn't walk through the fire just to

527
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: smell the smoke, or I had purpose before everyone had opinions.

528
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: That's great, Jalen, but how.

529
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: Does that explain why you check down more often than

530
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: a guy with a broken zipper. I do hope the

531
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: Eagles use the toush push a lot, because you know

532
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: the Texas governor thinks it's super gay.

533
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: Ooh, what silf?

534
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 7: Perspecting man would grind him silf into the backside of

535
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 7: another Get my lawmaking kid with these two teams. They

536
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 7: met in the season opener, Eagles defensive stud Jaalen Carter

537
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 7: got thrown out for spitting on Dak six seconds into

538
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 7: the game. This time, I think the Eagles are going

539
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 7: to be swallowing a big d upset.

540
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm taking Jerry's kids play the home dogs.

541
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: Next the meat event, Steelers in Chicago facing the Bears,

542
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: Bears favored by two and a half points. Does Joe

543
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: Rogan have a special elixir that can quickly cure Aaron

544
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers broken wrist? Is there some sort of plant medicine

545
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: concoction combining elk meat, colloil, silver, and goat colostrum that

546
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: men's bones overnight?

547
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: If not, we might be looking too Mighty Mason and

548
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: his over the mutcho mustache to make mixedmeat of the months.

549
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 3: There's a.

550
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 4: You know.

551
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: The narrative in most sports media is that the Bears

552
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: hope to be facing Mason because they have a Chicago

553
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: style beef with Aaron, since the second city is his kind,

554
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: the town Chicago is Rogers twenty four in five against

555
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: the Bears, and famously hollered I still own you to

556
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: Bears fans after scoring a touchdown for Green Bay in

557
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, which probably would have adversely affected his

558
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: chance to win Illinois on the RFK junior presidential ticket. Nevertheless,

559
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: there's only four Bears left from that twenty twenty one

560
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: team that might still suffer from PTSQB. And this is

561
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: not the twenty one Packers who were fresh off a

562
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: conference title game appearance. This is the twenty twenty five

563
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: Steelers who keep forgetting to sign a number two wide

564
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: receiver and a forty one year old Aaron Rodgers who

565
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: has a suture to achilles and for the last few

566
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: weeks has looked more skittish in the pocket than a

567
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: chihuahua at a vacuum cleaner convention. Chicago coach Ben Johnson

568
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: has been just what the Dicka ordered in his first

569
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: hint as Papa Bear seven to three in atop the division.

570
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: He's got this team turned around quicker than you can

571
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: say Eberflus. Careful not to say it two more times

572
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: or he'll appear. Quarterback Caleb Williams is only a completed

573
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: fifty percent of his passes fifty seven percent of his

574
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: passes this year. Apparently, it is more difficult to catch

575
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: a ball with nail polish all over it. But like

576
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan's idea of a perfect date, he can beat

577
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: you with his feet. Caleb's real strength is that he

578
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: protects the football the way you should grill a steak.

579
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: He very rarely turns it over.

580
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: Additional headaches for the Steelers running back DeAndre Swift and

581
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Manunge have been harder to stop than AHEMOPHILIAX nosebleed.

582
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: Not to mention, the Bear's defense has more takeaways this

583
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: year than Ice. But whether it's Mason or rec Risted

584
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: Rogers behind Zach's back on Sunday, I bet your bottom

585
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: dollar the Steelers offense doesn't blow in the Windy City.

586
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: That's because they finally commissioned Warren to lead the off

587
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: But he won't have to act alone because somehow Arthur

588
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: Smith just discovered that Darnell Washington is harder to take

589
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: down the Christmas lights in a nice storm against the

590
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: Bengals on Sunday, he looked like Frankenstein, flinging little Putians

591
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: off his arms and legs.

592
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: Let Mount Washington or Rup.

593
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Arthur for God's sake. It all boils down to this.

594
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: The Bears haven't beat a team with a winning record yet,

595
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: and they ain't gonna do it on Sunday. The Pope

596
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: might be from Chicago, but the Bears don't have a prayer.

597
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: Take the Steelers and the points just to be safe.

598
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: That's it. There you go.

599
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 6: Friday's four to six dveast Chad Tyson gets you ready

600

Speaker 2: That's that week Steelers game. It's the DV Steelers tail Gauge.

602
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 6: He'll have highlights for the past week's team coverage, plus

603
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 6: a shot at Steelers tickets, and of course he'll have

604
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 6: the music to get you fired up for the game

605
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 6: brilliant at the same time.

606
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: To complete the experience is up to you.

607
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,760

Speaker 1: Likewise, you know, and I was telling you in rehearsal

627
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: the other night and before we got on the air

628
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: here just how grateful I am that you're a part

629
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: of this show. And you know, you said something to

630
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: me last year at the end of the show and

631
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: we were having a little post celebratory libation, and you

632
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: talked about how much this music means to you.

633
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: And I think that that's something that makes this special.

634
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: This show is because this music for the people who

635
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: are there in.

636
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: The canon of everything that comes from the band.

637
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: Of course they always love, but there's something about these

638
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: particular songs that strikes an almost religious chord with people.

639
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 4: Eric, Yeah, cord is a good word.

640
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, And I can just say, you know,

641
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 5: I've done a lot of work where I've studied how

642
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: sound and vibration affects people in an almost medicinal way,

643
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 5: and how they've used it for thousands of years in

644
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 5: indigenous cultures. And I have this unique experience that's different

645
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 5: for most people is that I've stood on stage in

646
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 5: front of tens of thousands of people and when one

647
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 5: helm would go into a song like Ophelia or you know,

648
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 5: the Night they Drove, you know, like whatever song the

649
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 5: Weight of course, you know, I would just see people

650
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 5: burst into tears, like spontaneously and lift off the ground.

651
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 5: And so I saw how how incredible music played with

652
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 5: the spirit of people who just really really love what

653
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 5: they do, really brings people to a better place in

654
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 5: their lives.

655
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: And this music.

656
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 5: In particular, And although I never did the last Waltz

657
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 5: as a full concert would leave on, he wasn't ever

658
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 5: really interested in doing something like that.

659
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 4: What I did see.

660
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 5: Was when you played one of those songs and you know,

661
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 5: we're artists, were used to playing, you know, to us,

662
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 5: the great challenge is finding that next special thing. But

663
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 5: when there is a special thing and you do it

664
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: and you know it touches something for people, it's just

665
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 5: very an amazing feeling to witness these songs.

666
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, there's something unique about the Last Waltz. Obviously,

667
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: the all star factor is one part of it that

668
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: you can obviously point to, but I think the thing

669
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: that that gets kind of lost in the understanding of

670
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: what makes it special is that, yes, it's the all

671
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: star roster, but the way that those performers pushed each

672
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: other throughout the show and the end results ends up

673
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: being the best of what the best have to offer.

674
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, there's a kind of elation when you're surrounded

675
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 5: by all these other people and you're doing music that

676
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 5: you love and and you know and there's a there's

677
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 5: a like mindedness to it.

678
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 4: And even though you know, I was a kid.

679
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 5: When the Last Waltz happened, the first time I played

680
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 5: with the band in ninety three was was Bill Clinton's inauguration,

681
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 5: where you know, it was euphoric in Washington, d C.

682
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 5: At that time, and people really felt like we were

683
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 5: turning over a new and the group that I played with,

684
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 5: you know, the band, but it was also Vassar Clements,

685
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: Stephen Stills and doctor John and Bob Dylan making a

686
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 5: mysterious appearance and you know, and uh and lots of

687
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 5: other people of course. Uh, you know, the guy got

688
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 5: me involved in it all was John Simon, who was

689
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 5: a neighbor of mine who brought me in and you know,

690
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 5: probably had, you know, single handedly, unintendedly had the biggest

691
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 5: impact on my entire career by getting me involved in

692
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 5: this stuff. Yeah, and I saw that same thing with

693
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 5: those same a lot of the same musicians, but the

694
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 5: same caliber caliber of musicians, and it was just joy.

695
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 5: We had an eight and a half hour rehearsal that

696
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 5: was completely discombobulated, but everybody was just just laughing and

697
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 5: happy to be there.

698
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: Ye know. Dylan is the guy that I think that

699
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: I always wonder you know, I know, Van Morrison famously,

700
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: you know, would kick it up a notch if Dylan

701
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: was around.

702
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: He just worshiped Bob Dylan.

703
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: And you know, there's an apocryphal, possibly apocryphal story of

704
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: him moving to wood Stock just to sort of be

705
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: around Bob Dylan back in the day. But you know,

706
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: you see Neil Young hears Joni Mitchell perform and that

707
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: propels him to give a special performance, and that propels

708
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hawkins to give a special performance. And Doctor John

709
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: comes out and does his doctor John thing, and then

710
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: well that you know, the next man up uh tries

711
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: to you know, do their best and and basically hold

712
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: serve with all of these icons of that time.

713
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you've got to be on your

714
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 5: best game and that you know, we've also heard the

715
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 5: stories about what they did to make everybody comfortable.

716
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure there was a little there was a little

717
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: performance enhancing aspect to it all.

718
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't need to be spoken on radio, but

719
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 5: but but but yeah, I definitely felt like that was there,

720
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 5: although I you know, definitely when I played, it wasn't

721
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 5: the same, right, the same.

722
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: Type of encouragement that was backstage.

723
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 5: But but but they didn't need because because that was

724
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 5: the show that that helped to make all of them

725
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 5: who they are, you know, helped to create the legends

726
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 5: of them and then the rest of their lives. You know,

727
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 5: they they were already in the flow of becoming that

728
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 5: and then this kind of crystallized it thanks to the

729
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 5: Scorsese and you know, and uh, you know in general public,

730
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 5: you know, going out there, and and and and bear

731
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 5: in mind too, the Last Waltz was, as Howard Johnson

732
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 5: liked to remind us all the time, was a tour.

733
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 5: It wasn't a concert or a night you know, two

734
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 5: nights of concerts. They were touring the Last Waltz. You know,

735
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 5: the horn section was on, and maybe all the stars

736
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 5: weren't there for the entire tour, but whoever could jump

737
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 5: on would jump on.

738
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that is the least talked about aspect of

739
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: the Last Waltz, and miss just not even misunderstood.

740
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 2: I don't think people realize that.

741
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 5: Right, except for the really hardcore fans. Yeah, you know,

742
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 5: and uh, yeah, it's true. And and that I got

743
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 5: to experience, you know, during my years touring with with

744
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 5: with Levan, touring with Little Feet, touring with you know,

745
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 5: jumping back to the nineties with Buddy Miles, is like

746
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 5: you'd show up and then everybody else would show up,

747
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 5: just wanting to be around right and to feel Levon's

748
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 5: groove and to you know, get on stage with him

749
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 5: and you know and try to mix it up a

750
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: little bit. You know, a boy, when I play with

751
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 5: Buddy Miles, you know, there would be a line out

752
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 5: the door of guitar players waiting to sit in, and

753
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 5: I bet and we wouldn't stop until they all did,

754
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 5: you know, and not just the local guys, but like

755
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 5: big name people, everybody, everybody in town who was free

756
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 5: that night would be there to sit in.

757
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

758
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: Well, that spirit of performers pushing each other really shines

759
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: through on these Pittsburgh Ramble Band shows. Here, Paul Luke

760
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,280

Speaker 8: It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought

Speaker 7: Get it.

842

Speaker 8: Direct from the team at Shop dot Steelers dot com.

843
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 2: Here's Tom Opperman.

844
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 9: It'll be a matchup between two division leading teams this

845
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 9: Sunday when the Steelers and Bears meet in Chicago and

846
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 9: in Pittsburgh. All eyes are on quarterback Aaron Rodgers and

847
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 9: his availability with a broken left wrist injury. Rogers was

848
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 9: a limited participant in yesterday Steelers practice as he continues

849
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 9: to trend toward playing Sunday against the Bears, and Rogers

850
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 9: has a career record of twenty four and five against Chicago,

851
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 9: so his services could prove useful against the Bears defense

852
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 9: that leads the league with fifteen interceptions. On the defensive

853
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 9: side of things, the Steelers have their work cutout for

854
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 9: them against the powerful Bears offense that loves to run

855
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 9: the football. In fact, when playing at home in Soldier Field,

856
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 9: the Bears run the ball forty nine percent of their snaps,

857
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 9: and it works, as Chicago has the league's second best

858
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 9: rushing attack, averaging one hundred and forty six point six

859
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 9: yards per game on the ground. After a tough start

860
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 9: to the season stopping the run, the Steelers run defense

861
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 9: has been trending in the right direction as of late,

862
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 9: they've climbed all the way up to the league's thirteenth

863
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 9: best run dye, allowing just one hundred and six point

864
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 9: four yards on the ground per game. It'll be a

865
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 9: tall task slowing up the bears rushing attack, but the

866
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 9: form of the Steelers defense should inspire confidence and stifling

867
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 9: the Bear's bread and butter on offense might just be

868
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 9: enough to pull off the upset in the Windy City.

869
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm Tom Opraman with the Steelers Report.
