Speaker 1: Some gift ideas for the Steeler fan in your life.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 1: Here is Tad Whistle Tad take it away.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: Well, you can never go wrong with buying Steeler stuff

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: for a loved one. But there's so many choices. This

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: list is just meant to make you know your selections

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: a little less overwhelming. All right, When we think about

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 2: the greatest invention of the twenty first century, what comes

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: to mind, AI and machine learning, human genome sequencing. Nope,

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: it's pretty obviously Facebook Marketplace. Yes, now we are in

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: the golden age of online commerce when it comes to

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: buying Steeler.

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 3: Chotchkes said, random crap.

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: Here's a list of potential gifts from real Facebook Marketplace

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: posts that I've seen over the last thirty hours. So

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: these are actual Steeler related for they're very real, Okay,

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: very real. A three D printed bust of James Harrison

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: the Only Catches looks nothing like James Harrison. It actually

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: looks like Sergeant Doakes, the detective who hates Dexter surprise,

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: or maybe the person in your life who loves the

20
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: black and gold and loves to drink but in a

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: classy way. There's an eighty five dollars decanter shaped like

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: a steeler helmet.

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: About a custom upholstered recliner.

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: I know, eleven dollars may sound a little steep for

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: a chair wrapped in a Steeler's tablecloth, but it does

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: come with a matching ottoman.

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 3: Oh well, I mean you can't beat that Tess Rising.

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: For fifty bucks, you can own a piece of history

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: with a seat from three River Stadium. Oh well, that's

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: kind of cool, but not the whole seat. What just

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: the bottom pipe where the butts go. There's no back to,

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: no back.

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: Go back.

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: They advertise also comes with a certificate of authenticity, which

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: I would love to see because it's the bat, it's

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: the bottom of the seat. There's a homemade Steeler's deadpool mask,

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: and I know that your your brain just immediately zapped

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: to that one person in your life who could use that.

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: How about a hand painted Steeler coffee table? I should say,

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: you know, the the artwork is a little wonky, but

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: you'll have plenty of time to figure out a fix

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: for this handsome buffet on your way back from Bethel

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: Park after you've picked it up. But look, Christmas shouldn't

44
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: just be about stuff. You know, we get so stuff oriented.

45
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: You can book a ninety minute tour of Acrosure Stadium

46
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: that includes a stroll through the Great Hall, a look

47
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: inside the Steelers locker room, in a photo op with

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: one of the deconsecrated Heinz ketchup bottles. The price tag

49
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: is only twenty five dollars, but if you want to

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: upgrade the experience for another fifty bucks, my buddy Gary

51
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: will accompany you and loudly talk over the tour guy

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: with fun anecdotes like that's the men's room, I've seen it,

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: dude pissing the scene. And one time I was in

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: line at Annie Hands and I met Darius Chisholms.

55
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: Great girl. Oh yeah, Dari, it's great. Yeah.

56
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of experiential gifts, you could also book a holiday

57
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: greeting with Cameo, the video messaging app that connects celebrities

58
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: and athletes with the masses. Who wouldn't want a Christmas

59
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: wish from Dick Lebo. Yeah, they've got a nice roster

60
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: of Steelers on there, Heinz, Ward, Terry Bradshaw, even Antonio

61
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: Brown And look, the message doesn't even have to be

62
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: holiday related, it can be whatever.

63
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, two days ago.

64
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: I paid former Stealer wide receiver Sammy Coates ten bucks

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: to encourage my friend to get a colonoscope.

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: You gotta get it down big.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 5: Think it's gonna be great. For everything. It's gonna be okay,

68
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 5: So don't be worried, gonna be scared. Man. Yeah, I'm

69
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 5: done it. I'll do it twice a year. So hey,

70
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: go get it.

71
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: Done man, twice a year. I know what you're thinking.

72
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Did Sammy coach just say he hits two colors a year?

73
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: Whatever the reason is, I'm glad he's doing it right.

74
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: You can never be too sure.

75
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: But look, if Sammy Coates will do that for ten bucks,

76
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: imagine what Antonio Brown will do for two fifty. He

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: might violate a gag warrior. Look if I could just

78
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: get on my soapbox here. We get so caught up

79
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: in the consumerism, spending all the stress, it's easy to

80
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: lose sight of what's really important this holiday season. Love

81
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: Family and the Steelers Margaritaville collection available at the Steelers

82
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: Pro Shop, which I guess is some kind of bizarre

83
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: our partnership between the Steelers and Jimmy Buffett's estate.

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: I'm not making this up.

85
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: There's a whole line of pastel shirts that are just

86
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: the Steeler logo with the sunset and a couple palm trees,

87
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: making their target demographic uncles hipsters. I honestly don't know. Look, yeah,

88
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: they're a hideous abomination. Yes, their existence only proves that

89
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: God is dead and everything is for sale. But that

90
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: being said, which it was, I kind of want one

91
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: happy shopping and Mary's Stressmas to all.

92
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,920

Speaker 3: It's just you and I.

98
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: But you know, I was glad that you were able

99
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: to arrange this for the listeners because going into the

100
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Christmas break, we've had the privilege of having basically a

101
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: private common Heart concert all morning long.

102
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 7: Amazing.

103
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Their big show is on December twenty seventh at mister Small's.

104
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: But they're not the only band with the big show

105
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night, December twentieth, in Frostburg, Maryland at lash bas West.

106
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: All right, that's only two hours from Pittsburgh.

107
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: They've already played their Pittsburgh shows for this season, but

108
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: I am absolutely fascinated with this band, Abby, It's the

109
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Christmas band. I can't believe they're not playing thirty shows

110
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh over the holidays. The Crampest band Slayer s

111
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: l E I G h E R Slayer.

112
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 8: This is a band you have to see in person,

113
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 8: and actually having them in the Dvast Studios gave me

114
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 8: an immense amount of cool points, but also gave me

115
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 8: something to terrify my child's with for good behavior, because

116
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 8: if you know the legend of Crampis, of course this

117
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 8: is this is the German folklora.

118
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: You know, you tell your kids.

119
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 8: Instead of saying that you are good and Santa will

120
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 8: give you presents, they just skip over that and instead

121
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 8: it's if you're bad, Crampus will just take you away,

122
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 8: put you in his sack and beat you with sticks,

123
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 8: I think, for all eternity. So that's that's how they

124
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 8: control their children. So all of the guys are dressed

125
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 8: as Crampis and they take some of your favorite tunes

126
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 8: and make them all holiday related. So if you want

127
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 8: to check out the visuals, which I highly recommend you, Yes,

00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,839

203
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: been published and are being published, And currently one is

204
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: coming out that I cannot wait to delve into because

205
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: it honors our dear friend and co worker for many years,

206
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: the great, all time great Pittsburgh Steeler lineman Craig Woofley,

207
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: and someone who helped get that book accomplished and did

208
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: the lion's share of the writing. I'm guessing Jim Wexele

209
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: joining us right now and Wax, good morning, how are you, Buddy?

210
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 5: Good morning, Randy and Gang. You know I did not

211
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 5: do the blind zer of the writing. That's what was

212
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 5: assumed by the publishing house that I would ghost write

213
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: for the athlete. This athlete did not need a ghostwriter.

214
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 5: Craig Wolfley can write. I just it was a rock

215
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: and cheer ride For me, I just sat back and

216
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 5: we had to put it together. At the end, we

217
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: had to rush. Craig, unfortunate, only passed away the day

218
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 5: the manuscript was due, and he had he had done

219
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 5: his work and he had gotten it all in. It's

220
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 5: a beautiful, beautiful.

221
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: Mind, Mars. It really got submitted the day he passed away.

222
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 5: No, it was due. He had submitted all the work before,

223
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 5: and he got sick. He died within twenty twenty days

224
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 5: after the diagnosis. Yeah, so he had all the work

225
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 5: in twenty days, at least twenty days before. But that

226
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 5: was the day he passed was the day that our

227
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 5: deadline was March tenth. Yeah.

228
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: So what I'm hoping from this book, Jim, and maybe

229
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: you can let me know if this is an accurate expectation,

230
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: is when I read Doctor John's autobiography, it was hilarious

231
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: because it was all in doctor John speak, which is

232
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: like a patois that does not exist. It's a there

233
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: nobody talks like if they are words that only he uses,

234
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: you know. But but Craig Wilfley was the Doctor John

235
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: of NFL speak and football speak.

236
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: You know, he made up his own words. And had

237
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: his own language. So I'm hoping that there's gonna.

238
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: Be that element to this book or did he feel

239
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: the need to that he wanted to be refined here

240
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: and not come off as some sort of philistine.

241
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 5: Now wolf walked on gilded splinters here, look at you,

242
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 5: doctor John reference. I am definitely going to get the

243
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: doctor John.

244
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: Under a whodoo moon. Yeah, it's amazing, Okay, cool cool.

245
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 5: Craig's widow Faith, we just had her on a podcast

246
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: and she was so grateful that we I didn't feel

247
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 5: like I had to allow it, but she said, we

248
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 5: allowed his voice to shine through and it's not difficult.

249
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 5: It really didn't need much editing because again Craig could write.

250
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, she was very pleased that his voice shines through.

251
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 5: And it's uh, it's it's a precious gift that he

252
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 5: left for all of us. It's it's his voice, definitely.

253
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 15: Jim, I'm like Grandy, I haven't gotten into the book yet.

254
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 15: We're still in season here, but I've read all your

255
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 15: other works that are all phenomenal, as we have mentioned

256
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 15: over the years, I was curious about this one. This

257
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 15: one's a little different because of how well you knew Wolf.

258
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 10: Correct.

259
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 15: It's not the same as going to interview Troy Paul

260
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 15: Malow's uncle.

261
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 3: I would imagine, No Craig wrote these.

262
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 5: I mean I wasn't an interview. Yeah, but I mean

263
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 5: I tried to You.

264
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 15: Had to work on the project. You're editing and organizing,

265
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 15: and you're you're.

266
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 10: A part of it.

267
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: I'm starting to think you didn't have anything to do

268
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: with this, Jim.

269
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 5: I tried to tell the publish We had a conference

270
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: call with Wolf and the publishing house and I said, hey, hey, guys,

271
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm stealing money here. Wolf No, no,

272
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 5: Lex No, no Lex you we just we agreed to

273
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 5: this and this. I mean I edited it. I guided

274
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 5: Wolfe a little bit, but as far as interviewing him, no,

275
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 5: Wolf Wolf wrote for my site for like twenty years,

276
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 5: and he he believes that I helped him become a

277
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 5: better writer. So maybe in that way I guided it.

278
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 5: But and I pulled in uh you know, uh Faith

279
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: and Ron wolf Lee and uh collected the pictures and yeah,

280
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 5: why are you fucking to me?

281
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Well, here's why we want to talk to you. Now

282
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: we've determined you had absolutely nothing to do with this.

283
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: But I assume that you know what's in it, so

284
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: let's let's let's focus on that. I don't think enough

285
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: Steeler fans of this generation have an appreciation for Wolf

286
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: the athlete. They know him as the gregarious football mascot

287
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: character that he became through all of those years broadcasting

288
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: alongside his best friend Tounch. But I would hope that

289
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: a good degree of it deals with what an elite

290
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: level offensive lineman he was through college at Syracuse and

291
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: then into the pros with the Steelers who had just

292
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: come off the dynasty years, and that was test Ledden

293
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: for a while, and then going up to play for

294
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota there at the end.

295
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know Wolf's humility. I mean, you know,

296
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: if he's going to tell a story about playing left guard,

297
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 5: which Randy, I think you're as old, as close to

298
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 5: as old as I am. You watched Wolf. He was

299
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 5: an excellent, excellent player. I think he made one of

300
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 5: the first all fifty year, All seventy five year teams

301
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 5: that were put out before fanica.

302
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: Are you super athletic, super athletic?

303
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 5: It really was great pulling guard, outstanding, outstanding player. But

304
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: when he tells a story about playing left guard, it's

305
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 5: eyeball jack Ham, and I'm going to make my mark.

306
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 5: And I see Gray and his beard, and this Hall

307
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 5: of Famer's going down, and I'm making my mark. And

308
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: here I am pulling into the sixth hole. Where's Ham?

309
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 5: He's supposed to be there? Where is he? Boom? Wolf

310
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 5: gets knocked on his can. Looks up, there's Jack Ham's smile.

311
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 5: So those are the stories Wolf he tells, you know,

312
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 5: just full of humility. He's not going to tell you

313
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 5: how he is. Yeah, there may be some instances in

314
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 5: the book. But if I were to write about him instead,

315
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: I would have written about how good of a guard

316
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 5: he was, how underrated he was, because his humility, his

317
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 5: self deprecation through all the media he got into really

318
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 5: left us thinking, well, maybe this guy wasn't such a

319
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 5: good player and that's why he got a good media. No,

320
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 5: he really was a good ballplayer.

321
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,239
Speaker 1: Did he write a chapter about fighting Butterbean? Please tell

322
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: me he did. I would like a Butterbean chapter.

323
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: There's there is a reference to that, but it's not

324
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 5: he doesn't go deep into it.

325
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: I remember the morning he came in and he and

326
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: he's like, I think I'm gonna fight Butterbean. I'm like

327
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: you're going, know what, He's like, I'm gonna fight Butterbean.

328
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, in the parking lot.

329
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: What happened?

330
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Nope, getting back in the ring, and

331
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: I could not believe he was going to do it.

332
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: And then he almost beat Butterbean. I mean you no,

333
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: I know he was always training and everything, but this,

334
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: to me, he spoke to what an elite athlete he was,

335
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: because I think he was forty two or forty three

336
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: when he did that, and he got in the ring

337
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: and nearly beat the hell out of that big.

338
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: You know, Lummocks. That is the Butterbean.

339
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 5: There is a chapter on that, and it just I

340
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 5: have difficulty recalling that because that what is Is that

341
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 5: pro wrestling or is that?

342
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: No dude is boxing? He boxed him? Okay, all right,

343
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: I got to get somebody else. I'm to talk about

344
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: this book.

345
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 5: Wex.

346
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. For the love of God,

347
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: your name is on the cover.

348
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, man. I could tell you about him spotting

349
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 5: the World's Strongest Man with Jim Burt. You know, Jim

350
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 5: Burt was a nose tackle for the Lawrence Taylor Giants

351
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: and they were buddies growing up, and they were spotting

352
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 5: this dude squatting nine hundred pounds and the guy stumbled

353
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 5: and Wilson Bert rushed up to steady him, and the

354
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 5: guy steadied himself, and wolf said.

355
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: We would have all died.

356
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 5: I mean if he would have gone. There was no

357
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 5: reason for us to go and spot the dude. And

358
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 5: so he the chapter about that is really good. That

359
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 5: was more interesting than butter Bean. I don't even hardly

00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 15: were calm, not excited or anticipating. They'd already gotten the

469
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 15: present they'd longed for, the gift that keeps giving. Qv

470
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 15: Aaron Rodgers. His beard wasn't white, but with whiskers of gray.

471
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 15: He was old, but not too old to still lead

472
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 15: the way. And I own the pregame with keen insight

473
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 15: and humor, thought the Steelers perhaps might again yet be

474
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 15: super against Balemer's Ravens, He's cold fish. Rogers play was

475
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 15: the insurs, the best Christmas wish, And what to my

476
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 15: wandering eyes did appear the team they had thought that

477
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 15: they could be all year, more rapid than Lions, much

478
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 15: better than Brown's. Rogers called to his teammates who kept

479
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 15: scoring touchdowns on Warren, on metcalf on, Pat fryar Mouth.

480
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 10: I told you I wasn't too long in the tooth

481
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 10: to the playoffs. We'll head and we'll have an agenda.

482
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 15: It's to make for the Steelers the postseason great again.

483
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 15: He wore black and goals, not a red suit like Santa.

484
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 15: His audibles rang out like a champion's mantra. With the

485
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 15: wink of his eye and a twist of his head.

486
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 15: He let everyone in on what he knew was destined,

487
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 15: and the question he asked.

488
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 10: Was familiar to all. Are you ready for some football?

489
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

490
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 15: In the playoffs, the Steelers and Rogers caught fire. Steeler

491
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 15: nations stopped bitching. The mood was sublime.

492
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 12: It was just the beginning.

493
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 15: When the drought finally ended to the top of the

494
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 15: stairway to seven, they ascended tal twirlers, delighted in another Lombardy.

495
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 10: They even applauded the head coach, Mike Tomlin.

496
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 15: After winning the title he'd set out to capture Rogers,

497
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 15: spoke to the masses before he went back to Cali.

498
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 10: I told you there's no freakouts.

499
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,440
