1
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: W dv E, Pittsburgh, an iHeartRadio station, guaranteed human.

2
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: Here's a snap, here's the hole, here's the foot by Luke,

3
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: and that kick.

4
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: Is glue Mistan and you're Pittsburgh Steelers are sid Nor Chippings.

5
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 4: And with that miss kick last week against the Ravens,

6
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: Steelers Nation is reinvigorated in a way that I didn't

7
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 4: think was going to be possible.

8
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 5: The noise you've heard all year seems.

9
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 4: To have been eclipsed by a found hope that Mike

10
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: Tomlin might have this team with Aaron Rodgers in the lead,

11
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: on the path of restoring what was once great about

12
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 4: Steeler Nation, which was the possibility of a Super Bowl

13
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: run each and every year. Raizwatneys sitting in studio with

14
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: us this morning. He's festudent his Steeler gear. I've got

15
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: my Steeler hat and shirt. I regret that I had

16
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: a hoodie that did not make it through the weekend,

17
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 4: and I was not ready to go uh in that regard.

18
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 4: But everybody I see has just Steeler gear hanging outside

19
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 4: of their house.

20
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 5: That's all he wants talking about.

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: My eighty four year old mom said she is so

22
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: nervous for tonight. Every little kid, you know, is on

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: pins and needles. I don't remember it being quite like

24
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: this in Week one of the playoffs.

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: In all of those years that we were.

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: Used to making runs in the postseason, there was a yeah,

27
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: it's the wild card and it's a drag that we

28
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: didn't get a buy this week, but you know, we'll

29
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: slum it with the regular folk, I guess in the

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: wildcad week, and then we'll move on to the divisional playoffs.

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: And now it's like, oh my god, Aaron Rodgers actually

32
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: might get us a win.

33
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 6: Ray.

34
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 5: It feels like there's a real chance.

35
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 7: That's what I'm like, Yes, and it's not one of

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 7: those like ten point spreads I feel like we've had

37
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 7: in the last few where we're just supposed to get

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 7: destroyed or we like.

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, well, like two years ago, it was

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: Mason leading you into Baltimore OLYMPI. I mean, you know,

41
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: they had to win those three games to get into

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 4: the postseason, and then he squeaks past Baltimore in a

43
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 4: rain storm to get us in and nobody had any

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: real hope that Buffalo was a juggernaut then, and there

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: was not a lot of hope that was gonna happen.

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: But Mason, you know, performed admirably. The following year was

47
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 4: the Russell Wilson beat down. It was really the defense

48
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: that got beat down by the Ravens last year. And

49
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 4: since I don't know what is eight years since we've

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 4: won a playoff game, apparently.

51
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 5: The first couple I think we could deal with.

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: But after that point it's just been hard to get

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: any sort of positive feelings about the Steelers. Like everybody

54
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: on the same page. Now we can do it. It's

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: been constant in fighting with the fans. It got to

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: the point where they chanted fire Matt Canada in every

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: business in town. Got that guy fire, and then the

58
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: fire Tomlin chance this year. That was the point of

59
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: departure that had never happened before.

60
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 5: You heard it in the stadium like a couple people

61
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 5: here and there, but the unison was I heard it

62
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: on the TV. Yeah, crazy, no discord, unlike anything we've

63
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: seen before.

64
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: Abby. But now, but now it might all be fixed

65
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: with a win over the Houston Texans at home at

66
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: Akrosher Stadium in the freezing cold temperatures where CJ. Stroud's

67
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: one to three under the temperature of forty degrees that

68
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: I do love that burg.

69
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 7: He can't handle the cold. Yeah, and we have no hit,

70
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 7: Like it's weird. We have no history with like the Texans.

71
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 7: I feel like in the playoffs, like it's it's strange,

72
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 7: like every other team Boilers would have been. Yeah, which

73
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 7: are the Titans now they're not the Texans. Every other

74
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 7: team I'm looking at, I'm like, oh, I got beef

75
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 7: with this team because of something that happened.

76
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: But the Texans, I'm just like I kind of like them.

77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't mind them. I don't have hatred yet. Yes,

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: that and that's the worst.

79
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 4: You can develop it very quick with you know, having

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: getting beaten.

81
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 5: It's like the Jaguars.

82
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: Somebody cared about the Jaguars until they started destroying our

83
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: playoff hopes every year.

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: True, we'll talk to me at nine pm.

85
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: We'll see how much I hate the Texans.

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 5: Well, either way, I hope not.

87
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: I hope it's one of those we sail past them

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: and we're like, Okay, good for those guys. You know what,

89
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: It's a good organization. That's the talk I hope we're having.

90
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's a great coach, good organization. You know what,

91
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: they'll figure it out one day. They'll be good in

92
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: five years. Yeah, they might touch a super Bowl in

93
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: five years. Yeah, that's the conversation I want to have

94
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: tomorrow watching those games this weekend. Are you kidding me?

95
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 4: They It put me down a rabbit hole. Ray, I

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: was telling Abby about this. There's this whole rabbit hole

97
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 4: of the NFL being rigged. It's scripted, which I always

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 4: thought was like just a comical sort of passing notion

99
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 4: that people have. Yeah, this is this is rigged. The

100
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 4: rest called they know who Vegas has the money on

101
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: and everything, And then I got into the rabbit hole.

102
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: It is in depth. It's crazy how many people think

103
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: that there is this vast conspiracy to rig NFL games. Well,

104
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 4: do you have a gambling problem? Yes? Okay, no, no,

105
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: I know, okay my problem, yeah, my problem. What I

106
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: mean to say is I've been gambling my entire life. Yes,

107
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: football gambling is what brought me and my dad, my

108
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 4: brothers together. Yeah.

109
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's the So I think I've had that

110
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 7: conspiracy for a like you have that it hits your

111
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 7: head every time you like lose by a half a point. Akay,

112
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 7: the you know, the over right yeah it's weak, but yeah,

113
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: it's I know, God, everything was so close.

114
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I rolled with Chicago and the over on that one,

115
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 4: which was delightful. Uh, but the the Rams and the

116
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: Panthers game, I mean, people had to be going crazy

117
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: on that one. And last two minutes I knew San

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: Francisco was gonna win for Bob where I knew that

119
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: was going to happen Buffalo, I didn't know if they

120
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: were gonna pull it out or not.

121
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 5: But when they did, that's when I really.

122
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: Thought, oh boy, the Steelers. The Steelers are going to

123
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: get a home game against Buffalo, and we can beat

124
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 4: Buffalo because they're kind of slappy and the Jags just

125
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: totally gave that one away. I didn't end up seeing

126
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 4: the final score last next I fell asleep, but I

127
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 4: know the Patriots won. They started pouring it on them

128
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 4: at the end. Did they like, well, you know, sometimes

129
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: I just want to be like, take the points. I

130
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: know everyone likes to go for it on fourth down,

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 4: but maybe in the playoffs you should take the points.

132
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 4: And right away the Chargers put themselves in a hole

133
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: by fourth and goal from like the two yard line,

134
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 4: they get stuffed and you kick a field goal.

135
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 5: There on your first drive of the night.

136
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe things look different.

137
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: Little momentum that.

138
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: Was everybody this weekend. Everyone was rolling the dice. Everybody

139
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: does all the time. But they were all entertaining games,

140
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: that's for sure, although some of them were like you

141
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: were waiting around for stuff to happen and then they

142
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 4: were insane fourth quarters.

143
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that Chicago game.

144
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: If you're a Chicago Bears fan, Wow, you have got

145
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: to be pretty excited about Caleb Williams right now. He

146
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: was doing ben stuff, is what I told someone. Yeah,

147
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: that's funny. It was the fourth and seven, was it?

148
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: And I mean one of the craziest throws postseason or not,

149
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: that I've ever seen. It's season on the line, with

150
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: everything that was on the line for that throw, the

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: pressure on that throw, like had to be one of

152
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: the best we've seen in the last couple of years.

153
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: Calling him ice Man in Chicago, mice Man. My brother

154
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: lived in Chicago for a long time and I was

155
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 4: watching the game with him and we hit both bet

156
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: on the Bears and I was like, here's the thing.

157
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 5: I do think the Bears are gonna win.

158
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 4: I'm like, but he drives me crazy because as he start,

159
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 4: you know, I know Ben Johnson has got him playing great,

160
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: but he's still got some of those tendencies that make

161
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 4: me like crazy when he just does stupid things and

162
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: he's like, no, man, he's he's He's Michael Jordan, and

163
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, he's not.

164
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 5: He's not Michael Jordan. You can't say that.

165
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: So I'm like argued with my brother and then I'm

166
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 4: on the bet with him, and every time something goes wrong,

167
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, what I tell you, you know, And I'm like

168
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: constantly yelling when Caleb Williams when he fumbled the one time,

169
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, he shouldn't be holding the ball like that.

170
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 4: You see what I'm saying, you know. And I'm just

171
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: looking for a reason to hate the guy. But my god,

172
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 4: it is hard to argue he's come so far under

173
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 4: that coach.

174
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,359
Speaker 5: Who is a lunatic.

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 4: By the way, his postseason speech or post game speech, Oh,

176
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson, I f and hate the Packers. He ran

177
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 4: past Matt Lafleur did the drive by handshake, which people

178
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: are like, that's completely disrespectful. I'm like, he just something

179
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: I don't know. I guess you're allowed to do whatever.

180
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: You want high five the dude.

181
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 8: That's always how they shake hands, like they did, like

182
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 8: a remix of every time they shake each other they

183
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 8: hate each other.

184
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah.

185
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 7: When he got there, that's what he said, something like

186
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 7: I look forward to beating the Packers twice a year.

187
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 5: And they asked Matt Lafleur about it. He was like,

188
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: I don't even know this guy.

189
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: He Matt Leafloor. Did he said, I enjoy beating Matt

190
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: Lafleur twice. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And then Lafleur

191
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 4: tried to do the Don Draper. I don't even think

192
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: of you.

193
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: You know, but that's we know that's not true.

194
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: He's so mean to me.

195
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: Well, we definitely know it ain't true now, man.

196
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: So a fun weekend games to build up to tonight's

197
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: eight fifteen kickoff for the Steelers.

198
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: Michael.

199
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 4: Have more on that coming up a little bit later

200
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: on this morning. We'll talk with Charlie Batch, Jerry Dulac. Also,

201
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: you know, in the world of rock and roll, Bob

202
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: Weirs pass that was quite a big deal with a

203
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: group of people I was with. I was with a

204
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: bunch of Deadheads on Saturday night and we just listened

205
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: to Bob Weir and the Wolf Brothers, The Dad all night.

206
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 4: We listened to nothing but Bob Weir all night. That

207
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: not that it was shocking, it was still unexpected.

208
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 8: I wanted to start with that in news and I

209
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 8: was going to give the reins over to you just

210
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 8: because like that actually did shock me, because I knew

211
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 8: he was sick. But there was also something about Bob

212
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 8: Weir that, like, you know, he was kind of.

213
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 9: Indestructible to me, I don't know.

214
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: Like so it's like Dylan, Yeah, yeah, you just don't

215
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: think they're ever going to die. Paul McCartney with Weird

216
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 4: the shows they did in Golden Gate Park this past summer.

217
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: He was clearly not very strong.

218
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 4: And this is a guy that we'd been watching literally

219
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 4: post his workouts on social media for the last few years,

220
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: and he was doing stuff that most seventy seven year

221
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: olds couldn't do. So you always assumed, like, oh, no,

222
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 4: Bob's gonna live forever. He's like doing a health He's

223
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: not one of those guys. He stopped doing drugs a

224
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: long time ago, but he had cancer and nobody knew

225
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: about it, and so that's why his performance seemed so stalted.

226
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: At Golden Gate Park, and he had a hard time

227
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: singing and just bringing the energy.

228
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: And now everybody knows why.

229
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: But he's such a complex guy because he was like

230
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: the little brother in the band and then had to

231
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 4: become the dad, and so people weren't sure if he

232
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: was going to be able to carry the flame, but

233
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: he never doubted it at all, and he just kept

234
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: going NonStop. And if you think about it, the Grateful

235
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 4: Dad invented their own canon of music. It is literally

236
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: a collection of music that stands separate from everything else

237
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: in the tradition of all Americana.

238
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: There's countless tribune bands to the dead.

239
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: Not in the way that there's like, oh, we're a

240
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: Kiss tribute band or something. It's like, hey, we're having

241
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: mass over here today. If you guys need or like

242
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 4: a meeting, you know, did you need to go to

243
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: a meeting today? Here's your group.

244
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: It is.

245
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: The fellowship of that group of people is really the

246
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: cornerstone of what makes it so great. And that's something

247
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: I think he always realized, and he constantly talked about

248
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: the music lasting well beyond his time on this earth,

249
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: and three hundred years is the timeline he keeps using

250
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 4: or had kept using in interviews. But he was an

251
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: unbelievable songwriter. He became a great player, But he has

252
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: Jerry Garcia in the band. So what do you do.

253
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: You're not a league guitar player. You have to play

254
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 4: rhythm guitar for Jerry Garcia. Well, I'm gonna set the

255
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: best platform I possibly can for him to be this.

256
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 5: Badass guitar player. How do I do that?

257
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: Oh, I'll study jazz piano players and learn how the

258
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: guys you play underneath Miles Davis play And that's what

259
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: he did. He listened to McCoy tyner and he figured out, Oh,

260
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 4: if I do these kind of complex courtings, Jerry's gonna

261
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 4: have a whole world to draw from. The palette that

262
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 4: I'll set for him will be vast. So that was

263
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: kind of a big point of departure for that band

264
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: from all the other San Francisco, you know, flower Power

265
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: era bands, and then you know they went in the

266
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: direction that they did. After Jerry's death, it very easily

267
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 4: could have just fallen apart, and he he and Phil

268
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: both played a big role in making sure that it

269
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: moved forward. But Bobby, in the last fifteen years, what

270
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: Dean company did. I've got issues with from a money

271
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 4: grab standpoint, it's weird to be paying three hundred and

272
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 4: fifty dollars face value tickets to see anything Grateful Dead related.

273
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: But I also felt like he deserved to cash in

274
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: for his family at that point because the Dead never

275
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: got rich while Jerry was alive until Touch of Gray,

276
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 4: and then they had some success and they were like,

277
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: what's going on? And they were always this a successful

278
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 4: touring act, you know, like when the Totals came in

279
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: at the end of the concert season. The Dead was

280
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 4: always up top, but they had like two hundred employees.

281
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: They were a moving village.

282
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: And also they did the most ridiculous business organizational plan.

283
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: It was a democracy that everybody got an equal vote,

284
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: so like if you were a I don't know, a secretary,

285
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: your vote in what the band did mattered as much

286
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: as the drummers, you know.

287
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 10: I like that.

288
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, They're like, now this is We're all part of

289
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: the family, So everybody's vote matters equally, which I.

290
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: Think has benefits and also.

291
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 4: Some things that some hurdles that might have been tough

292
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: to get over from time to time, when you know,

293
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: when the Secretary's going, I don't think you should play

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: Dark Star tonight. You know, it's like I don't know

295
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: if you get a vote, miss. But Bob Weir was

296
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 4: He was a great player. He was one of the

297
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: best sidemen ever and then became, you know, a lead

298
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: of a band of many different iterations of the band.

299
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: But it was all in service of that music, the

300
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 4: music that inspired what they did, and he was a

301
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: selfless guy. I talked to Scott Murders from the Postcause

302
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 4: that about it, and he threw some quotes in that

303
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: I gave him yesterday. I talked about what a great

304
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: song rutter he was, but it was his tenacity that

305
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: is the story. He never stopped playing. And I believe

306
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 4: someone said bb King has more gigs than him. It's

307
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: hard for me to believe someone who started playing in

308
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: a band the size of the Grateful Dead at the

309
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: age of seventeen and played all the way till he

310
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: was almost eighty and never stopped playing and never took

311
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: a year off in all those years.

312
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 5: That anybody played two more people than that person.

313
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 8: I'd love to see the numbers on that, because you're right,

314
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 8: it's not just the Grateful.

315
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: Dead It's It's Bobby and the Midnights, the Wolf Brothers,

316
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 4: further rat Dog. There's a million different iterations that he

317
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 4: went out in and he never stopped. When Jerry died,

318
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: he talked about the fact that he just took off.

319
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, no, I just said, well, let's let's

320
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: hit the road. That's what Jerry would want. And then

321
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: that's what I did because he'd do the same.

322
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 5: And you can put him at the top of that leaderboard.

323
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: I don't know every Okay, think about it, like, you

324
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: know what comedian has done more shows than anybody. Yeah,

325
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: and you have to think of somebody who had success

326
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: at an early age. And then people were being like

327
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: argumentative with me about it, and they're like, oh, well,

328
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: there's jazz musicians who play their entire life like three

329
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 4: and four times a week. I'm like, yeah, well, that's

330
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: just not the scope of what we're talking about here.

331
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 5: I'm saying the guy was playing.

332
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 11: At the Pyramids in Egypt, you know, and then going

333
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 11: over and playing huge theaters in France and it did

334
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 11: not stop for him ever.

335
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 5: Like it's a crazy run that he had.

336
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 4: Every outdoor barn like Starlake and Alpine Valley every summer.

337
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 5: He was in all of them every summer, almost never

338
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: took any time off.

339
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,359
Speaker 7: And that's why, regardless of his health, you're still surprised

340
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 7: because it's like, I mean, somebody with that longevity, you

341
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 7: just never expect them.

342
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems so vibrant, right. The sadness was palpable.

343
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 4: The group of people I was with was just like,

344
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: and it was my birthday, you know, because I was

345
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: like I was. It hit me.

346
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 9: Hard that it was your birthday when it happened.

347
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 4: Well, and I was with a group of people that

348
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 4: I grew up with in my hometown and we all

349
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 4: grew up dead heads, you know, and so we were

350
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: all like looking at each other like, oh my god,

351
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: this sucks.

352
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 5: And they kept saying, I'm sorry it's on your birthday.

353
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: And I was like, I don't think you guys understand,

354
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 4: Like I'm not sad about this. Every year from now on,

355
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 4: on my birthday, I get to listen to the dead.

356
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: You're gonna celebrate catching any flag from anybody to listening

357
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 4: to something else with the Dead's Like no, no, no,

358
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 4: it's Bobby's you know, it's the anniversary of Bobby's passing.

359
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 4: So you know he wasn't you know, he wasn't a

360
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 4: flaw a sky or anything.

361
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 5: But it's hard to believe he's gone.

362
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 4: When he did the John Mayer thing, I got really

363
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: mad at Bob as a fan, I'm like, why are

364
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: you doing? This is the antithesis and a lot of

365
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: what the sphere shows and the big scope of all

366
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 4: of that. The money grab it seemed to me to

367
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: be the antithesis of what they stood for. And then

368
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: if you look into it, a lot of times this

369
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 4: is probably true of a lot of different like passions

370
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 4: that people have. You're projecting what you want it to

371
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: be onto it, as opposed to what it is and

372
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 4: what it's always been. You know, there are people who

373
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: project politics onto the rayful death. They're almost always wrong,

374
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: you know, like Jerry would have never dealt with, never

375
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: put up with what's going on in the world. Well,

376
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: Jerry was a libertarian of a nihilistic degree, who is

377
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: basically like, hey, if you burn it down, you burn

378
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 4: it down.

379
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 5: That's cool.

380
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, But people are like, no, you put a flower

381
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: and his guitar. No he didn't, that was not him,

382
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: you know. And the spear. Oh, Jerry would have hated

383
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 4: this fear and the money grabs Like Jerry loved sci

384
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 4: fi more than anybody. He was constant. He wrote a

385
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: sci fi novel with Tom Davis from Saturday Night Live.

386
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: Franken Al Frankin's writing partner. Like, they're almost never what

387
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: you think. These things you love entirely what you want

388
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: to project on. So I'm like, okay, pretend to know, right.

389
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 4: So I'm like, Okay, he wants to get John Mayer

390
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 4: in the band, I'll give it a chance. But I

391
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 4: hated it. I was so pissed that he was doing

392
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: that because I'm like, this guy's the biggest douchebag. And

393
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 4: then I went and saw it at Star, Like the

394
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: first time I came through, I'm like, that was really good.

395
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 4: He was really good. It's really good, Okay, And then

396
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: I softened and by the time I saw them the

397
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: last four or five times I saw them, and I

398
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 4: went to Wrigley for those shows after the debacle here

399
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 4: at Starlake, and I went by myself. I mean, I

400
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: met my nieces and because I just had a chance

401
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 4: to go and I'm like, I'm out, I'm going. And

402
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 4: then I just called up some friends and rolled into

403
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: a group of people where I only knew one people,

404
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 4: but then had a great time with thirty people I

405
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: just met, because that's what those shows are all about.

406
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: And I was all the way in at that point.

407
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: I was talking a big cat about it, and I'm like,

408
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 4: cause he's a big dead head too. I was like,

409
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 4: I never thought I would be this in on John

410
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 4: Mayer playing these Grateful Dead songs. He's like, it's incredible,

411
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 4: and you have to think Bobby knew exactly.

412
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 5: Bobby knew this is the best way to service the music.

413
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 4: I don't care if you guys don't dig it at first,

414
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 4: and then it became as big as anything the Grateful

415
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 4: Dead did.

416
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 5: The Dead and Company.

417
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: Now that caused so much controversy in that world because

418
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: there were people who absolutely hated Dead and Company. Would

419
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 4: never budge it's not as good as a real thing.

420
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: Yeah it's not. It's completely different. But to me, it

421
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: was all in service to the music. And I got

422
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 4: to go and hear those songs and I got to

423
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 4: be like that group of people, and that's what it

424
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 4: is all about for me. And if John Mayer's there

425
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: being a douchebag, well, then John Mayer's they're being a douchebag,

426
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 4: but his playing was insanely inspired. Well, that's kind of

427
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 4: the same thing about people projecting their own opinion on it,

428
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: like they were like, no, Jerry Garcia would have never

429
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 4: wanted this John Mayer do, And.

430
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 7: It's like, who knows. I mean, it's still like, like

431
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 7: you said, still providing the same.

432
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 5: Vibe that you had.

433
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Jerry would wear a black T shirt

434
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: that didn't really fit and we all do that, jeans

435
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: on the stage.

436
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

437
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 4: He looked like Mark Madden going on the stage. Yeah,

438
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 4: And Bob by the end was wearing like designer cloaks

439
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 4: and things in his cowboy He a whole aesthetic. It

440
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 4: was a lot different, but the music never suffered. In fact,

441
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 4: it got better. And he was the most selfless guy

442
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: on stage, and it was always about servicing the song,

443
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: and he embodied This is the last thing I'll say

444
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: about it. I'm sorry I went so long. He embodied

445
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 4: the character of the song. He was singing as good

446
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 4: or better than anybody. And if you're an aspiring singer

447
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: rock singer, pardon me. The one lesson to take away

448
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: from him is that dude lived in every one of

449
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 4: those songs.

450
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 5: So he would like in Jack Straw. He is the

451
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 5: guy in Jack Straw. He's living that movie out as.

452
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 4: He is singing it. And he always talked about how

453
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 4: he needed that in order to perform, and it separated

454
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 4: him and he was one of one like that. I

455
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 4: think in a way that that because he had all

456
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 4: of these other tools, uh, in addition to that. So

457
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: it was it was a tough one. I mean, we

458
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: talked about Bob all night. I was also bleeding profusely

459
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 4: from having cut my hand.

460
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 9: Well, you were mayoring it.

461
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: John mayered it. Yeah, so I've got a big you know.

462
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 4: I mean I dropped a bowl on my hand and

463
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 4: it was glass and it smashed and ripped up my finger.

464
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 4: So it was hard to have people listen to me

465
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: about bub Weird.

466
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 9: Well you're kill Bill gushing blood everywhere.

467

479
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 4: on the show on Friday, and I asked him when

480
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 4: did he know it didn't go in? Because when I

481
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 4: watched the replay, well I watched it nine thousand times,

482
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 4: he didn't look at it.

483
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 5: Do you remember the moment you became aware it was

484
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 5: no good?

485
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,080

486
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 14: I remember, like I'll just like sitting there look at

487
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 14: her like I know everybody likes saying like they got

488
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 14: like a jum try at the end of the stadium

489
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 14: and stuff. And I wasn't even looking at that, like

490
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 14: I was looking straight like everything was blurry. And I

491
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 14: remember Peyton just like running and grabbing me like he missed,

492
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 14: he missed.

493
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: Miss crazy in the stadium just erupted, right, it.

494
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,320

495
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 14: of fans from both sides. But when they erupted, I

496
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 14: have a clue what thought it was. All I remember

497
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,200

Speaker 4: Bruce's music goes on without his voice. You know, I'm

525
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 4: gonna hear Grateful Dead songs the rest of my life

00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 5: That game will be in New England.

544
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 4: And I don't know if.

545
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 17: People are aware of the Steelers haven't won a playoff game.

546
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 17: Since the second week of the two thousand and sixteen postseason,

547
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 17: they are zero for six since that ties the longest

548
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 17: current such streak in the NFL, and it ties the

549
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 17: fourth longest such running utility in NFL history.

550
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 5: Not that Aaron Rodgers cares.

551
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 18: I care about winning. That's why I'm I'm here. That's

552
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 18: why I love the Monday to Saturday grind. And you know,

553
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 18: stats are what they are, The trends are what they are,

554
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 18: and those trends are Any trend is always meant to

555
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 18: be broken at some point, so hopefully we can do that.

556
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 13: Yeah.

557
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 17: Defensive coordinator Terrell Austin is one of many Steelers personnel

558
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 17: this past week who has maintained that the goal is

559
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 17: not to snap the streak tonight against the Texans. The

560
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 17: goal is to beat the Texans and win a Riot

561
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 17: game and advance toward a potential championship.

562
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 5: The goal is also not to win one for TJ.

563
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 17: Watt and Cam Hayward and the other veterans that have

564
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 17: been around for the bulk of this drought, if not

565
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 17: all of it. But that doesn't mean the Steelers won't

566
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 17: be following their leaders.

567
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 19: Hayward in particular, you know, we've talked about that before

568
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 19: in terms of, you know, our best players are you

569
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 19: right now? For us, they've been there are best leaders

570
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 19: and our best examples for our guys. So they've they've

571
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 19: always been that way. And so I mean I've seen that. Shoot,

572
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 19: I watched Cam chase guys all the time, and it's

573
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 19: still to me it amazes me. I watch him and

574
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 19: you just watch how he runs and how he plays,

575
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 19: and you know, there's young guys that don't do what

576
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 19: he does, and so he's a unicorn and in a

577
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 19: lot of ways, but he's also unicorn in terms of

578
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 19: his demeanor and leadership and all that other stuff. And

579
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 19: I think that's you know, we talked about it. We've

580
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 19: got good leadership, We've got good things. And I think

581
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 19: that brings the rest of your guys along all the

582
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 19: way because they know how much they cared. You know,

583
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 19: they don't have that. Your best players don't push stuff aside.

584
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 19: It It means a lot to them, and so I

585
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 19: think that that has a really good trickle down effect

586
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 19: on everyone.

587
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 17: Now, that's great stuff on Cam Hayward, who was named

588
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 17: second Team Ball Pro on Friday at thirty six years

589
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 17: of age, and deservedly so. But when I was listening

590
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 17: to Terra Austin speak there a couple of days ago,

591
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 17: it's stuck in my head. I never heard anybody pronounce

592
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 17: it unicord, and then he pronounced that unicorn the second

593
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 17: time he's talking about Cam's a unicord.

594
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 4: What is a unicord? Well, there's there's a unicarrot, and

595
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: you don't want to confuse the two.

596
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 17: As I mentioned All Pro second team for Hayward at

597
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 17: thirty six, and stop me if you've heard this one before,

598
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 17: an old guy walks into the playoffs if not a

599
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 17: bar Cam Hayward's fromamiliar with that one. Camp Thomas been

Speaker 17: to time. Having some fun with TJ. Clture forty five

610
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 13: extra gear. And it's funny that my teammates and coaches

611
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 13: poking pride and on the other side of it.

612

Speaker 17: Texans are going to get the right tackle Trent Brown back,

622
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 17: presumably he has no injury designation after missing the last

623
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 17: two games. The Steelers don't have anybody on their list

624
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 17: with designation except defensive tackle Isaiah louder Milk, who still

625
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 17: has not been activated from injured reserve. Texans won't have

626
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 17: Tank Dell and Joe Mixon. Steelers won't have Broderick Jones

627
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 17: to Shaun Elliott, Darnell Washington, and Miles Kilber their IR guys.

628
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 17: But if you're not on IR, you're good to go

629
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 17: for this one and one matchup that really favors the Steelers,

630
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 17: and aren't there aren't many, if any other ones but

631
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 17: red zone when the Steelers have the ball. They're eleventh

632
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 17: in the league in red zone offense at fifty eight

633
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 17: point eight percent. And Texans, for all their defensive splendor

634
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 17: and their defense is spec splendor as acular, they're only

635
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 17: sixteenth in red zone at fifty six point eight. So

636
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 17: if the Steelers can get it into twenty, maybe they

637
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 17: got a chance to do some damage. That said, I

638
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 17: am just knocked off my chair at how insane NFL

639
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 17: coaches have become going forward on fourth down.

640
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 5: It is an epidemic.

641
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: As much as I like it from an entertainment value,

642
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: the stupidity factor of it at this point is absolutely baffling.

643
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 4: It's remarkable that and people are missing kicks right and

644
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 4: left all of a sudden. Remember early in the middle

645
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 4: of the season, guys are banging from sixteen and they

646
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: look like extra Now, Mike, if you went down the

647
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 4: rabbit hole I did, you would understand that this is

648
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 4: all part of the script that's being written. Well, there

649
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 4: was like fifteen points left on the table in last

650
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: night's game.

651
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 5: I feel like fourth down in the five.

652
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 17: I mean Carolina started it up first game, first series.

653
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 17: They're inside their own thirty and they go for it.

654
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 6: It'll get it.

655
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: And then they gave the Rams a short field besketball offense.

656
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 6: In the lake.

657
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 13: What do you do it?

658
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't want understand it.

659
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 17: I mean, I get you want to possess the ball

660
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 17: and keep it away. There's got to be a time

661
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 17: and a place. Well, I think there's a happy medium

662
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 17: for it. And I think that this is when you

663
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 17: do the analytics mixed with gut. It's important to.

664
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: Own analytics is either all or nothing, though.

665
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 6: Right, I mean.

666
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 4: Definitively yes, because if you're not playing the percentages, then

667
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: it's just up the chance.

668
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 5: I mean, you're an NFL head coach.

669
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 17: Use your gut, use your knowledge, use your in game experience,

670
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 17: use your understanding of your team. Make the decision that way.

671
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 17: Don't do it because Dan Campbell would.

672
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 4: Be the analytics you use as the response if this

673
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 4: doesn't happen, this can happen, it's your excuse. Well no, no, no,

674
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: I'm saying if you don't use analytics every time, it's

675
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 4: just like you know what the result of your failing

676
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: will be.

677
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 17: Rams beat the pants A thirty four to thirty one.

678
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 17: That was a phenomenal game. Bearspeat the Packers thirty one

679
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 17: twenty seven thousand, that was a phenomenal saying Bill's beat

680
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 17: the Jaguars twenty seven to twenty four, that was a

681
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 17: phenomenal game. Forty nine Ers speak the Eagles twenty three

682
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 17: to nineteen. Didn't see much of that one, and I

683
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 17: didn't see any of Patriot's sixteen Chargers three. But if

684
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 17: you're like me, let's all celebrate Jim Harbaugh and suck

685
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 17: a day.

686
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 5: Oh they are pissed at him.

687
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 4: Robert Splaine in this postgame comments last night, saying that

688
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 4: Chargers were coming up to him after the game, saying,

689
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: our offense had no idea what covered you guys were in.

690
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 4: We didn't know what you were doing.

691
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 5: That's because he couldn't study it ahead of time, and.

692
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 4: No one comedian raised Waddey hanging out with us this morning. Abby,

693
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 4: you'll have your news at the top of the hour.

694
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 9: We'll start recapping the Golden Globes.

695
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 4: Well, we talked you heard from Cam Hayward there, and

696
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: we talked about the importance of his leadership on the team.

697
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 4: But he and his brother might be an integral part

698
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 4: of tonight's Houston matchup, and we'll explain how the steel

699
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 4: City push has gone to the true brotherly shove here

700
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh.

701
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 20: Next, Yes your favorite table is available, and yes you

702
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 20: build the menu. The DVE workforce has the run of

703
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 20: the kitchen.

704
00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 21: Yeah.

705
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 20: With Michelle Michel on the DVE Electric Lunch at noon,

706
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 20: MEE Morning.

707
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: Show, add Krisner and Mike pursued a comedian raised winey

708
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: hanging out with us here this morning, and Ray, you

709
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: came on the Best Day. Steelers Texans tonight a fifteen

710
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: at Extra Stadium. Are you going to the game? I

711
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 4: think I think I might. I might try to make

712
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 4: it down there. Man, I think you'll be able to

713
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: score a reasonable ticket before kickoff because the I think

714
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: just the weather alone, and Houston doesn't travel. It's a

715
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 4: Monday night game. It's not like a bunch of Texans

716
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 4: fans came up for this game. I've the Steelers play

717
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 4: them so infrequently. I have no idea if they travel

718
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 4: or not. They don't. And it was like I was

719
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 4: just telling Jacob, because Jacob was lamenting the fact that

720
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 4: Indiana's victory over Oregon that beat down, knocking them into

721
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 4: the National Championship against Miami, who essentially have a home

722
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 4: game for the Natty.

723
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 17: Yeah, so they're real hoosier. You would show up no

724
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 17: matter the call. You could be there to support your team,

725
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 17: knowing that they need all the help they can get.

726
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 17: With the decks stacked against them like this, you would say,

727
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 17: F the money, F work.

728
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: I'm going if you were a real hoosher Jake, what

729
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 4: are you doing next weekend? Your MIC's not on, buddy,

730
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 4: your MIC's not on. There you go.

731
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 22: I told Mike over the weekend, I was considering opening

732
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 22: up another line of credit just to max out a

733
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 22: card and worry about that debt another time.

734
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 5: What if I give you a loan that you work

735
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 5: off in humiliation rituals?

736
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 4: Okay, I can consider that. Okay, we'll talk later About

737
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 4: that five thousand dollars you're saying is the going price

738
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 4: for a ticket to that game?

739
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 22: Like anywhere it's I've seen like one thing, like one

740
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 22: specific ticket go for like thirty five, and everything else

741
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 22: is north of.

742
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 5: Like forty five thirty five. That's affordable.

743
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 22: That's right, thirty five hund on top of like a

744
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 22: thousand dollars flight and you know hotels that are going

745
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 22: for five hundred dollars a night.

746
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 4: You don't need a hotel. Watching your school win the

747
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 4: national time, I will watch, Mike. I will watch being.

748
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 5: There while your school was the national championship. I've been there.

749
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: I've been there for your school. I've been there for

750
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 4: a lot of moments this year that they need you, Jacob,

751
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 4: they might you need to be Indiana's Michael Irvin will

752
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 4: get you an.

753
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 5: Eight ball you go, We'll get you a belt. Yeah, Yeah,

754
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 5: that's right, Tony.

755
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 17: It's gonna take more than Mark Cuban's checkbook for this one.

756
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 17: You got to get there and yell man.

757
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: I I mean, he was there on on on Friday night.

758
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 22: But if if there's any takeaway to have from his

759
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 22: presence is that you don't need that checkbook. I mean,

760
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 22: look at the look at the talent evaluation, the blue

761
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 22: chip ratio. Oregon had eighty percent of their players before

762
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 22: five star guys. Indiana has zero five star guys on

763
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 22: their team. Yeah, and only like six four star guys. Well,

764
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 22: I don't know if you need that money, Mike.

765
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 4: All Right, an.

766
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 5: Argument for a different day.

767
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: How much you're paying the coach let's turn it to

768
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 4: the Steelers tonight, Steelers and the Texans.

769
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 5: It's the wild card round.

770
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 4: And one thing that you saw happening across the league yesterday,

771
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 4: the tush push is now universal.

772
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 5: Everyone uses it. It is a tool in the NFL.

773
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 5: That's been the case.

774
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I'm saying, but this one, literally there was

775
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: a ten yard tush push. It almost resulted in a

776
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 4: touchdown yesterday. Sure for the Bills, it is taking on

777
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 4: a new level. It used to be you only toush

778
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 4: push when it's an inch or half a yard or whatever,

779
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 4: and now it's like a yard and a half. Yeah, well,

780
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 4: touch push. I don't think the Steelers should be doing that.

781
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 4: I think they should only do it when it's really close.

782
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 4: They were one for two last week, and it nearly

783
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 4: bit them in the three two three.

784
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 17: Okay, because the one serious they made fourth down from

785
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 17: the ten, that's right, and then they got your pay.

786
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 5: So the first one did not go so well.

787
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 2: No dithers break the huddle with eight in the play clock,

788
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 2: Hayward set up to take the sneak, gets it and

789
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: pushing and shoving.

790
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 4: This is gonna be really really close.

791
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 2: Oh it looks like he might be a little short,

792
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 2: and he is did not pick it up, went off

793
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 2: the left side and came up a few inches short,

794
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: and the Steelers will turn it over on downs at

795
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 2: their own forty five yard line. I mean that was brutal.

796
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 4: Connor Hayward was super pissed at his brother Cam, who

797
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 4: came in in the stead of Darnell Washington, who's usually

798
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: the guy behind Connor there.

799
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 5: And we asked Missy Matthews.

800
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 4: About it when we were talking to her on Thursday

801
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 4: here on the show, because she was down on the sidelines.

802
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: So not having Darnell Washington to help out in that

803
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 4: big package is a big loss against this defense. How

804
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 4: do you think Arthur Smith counteracts that, I just Cam

805
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 4: Hayward go in.

806
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 23: I don't know, I'm joking. I did like that, you know,

807
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 23: iteration of the Spartan putting Cam Hayward in there. I

808
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 23: will say it was not funny at the time, but

809
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 23: now that I think back, how mad Connor was at

810
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 23: Cam when the first one didn't work, losing his mind

811
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 23: not oh no, no, no, not in his face, but

812
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 23: like walked away, like could not believe it is just screaming.

813
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 23: His face is turning red. He's you know, saying things

814
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 23: really and I can't repeat on the radio. Oh he

815
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 23: was so mad, so mad, and he was kind of

816
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 23: motioning like that he hugged him instead of like pushed him.

817
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 23: I agree with coach Tomlin that like Connor was never

818
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 23: going to say that to Cam, and that I think

819
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 23: it was more Connor probably told Danny Smith, and then

820
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 23: Danny Smith told coach, and then coach maybe told Camer

821
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 23: was just like, you guys, figure it out. It was true,

822
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 23: brother like throw down fisticuffs. That's how angry he was.

823
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 23: Put not in Cam's vicinity at all at all.

824
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 5: Connor after the game said, yeah, no, that didn't I

825
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 5: didn't love that.

826
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 24: Yeah, the first one he tackled me, but you know

827
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 24: that was the practice for the second and third one.

828
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 24: And I was hot at the first one. But you know,

829
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 24: he came up to me and he was like, we're good.

830
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 5: You know that was my bad, but okay, so that's good.

831
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: They get it worked out, brothers, shake hands, hug let's

832
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 4: just do it right. The second time they did, and

833
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 4: then they did it right the third time. Steal City

834
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: Chef once.

835
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 2: Again snapped a Hayward Hunter Hayward second rushing touched out

836
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 2: of the season, caps off.

837
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 5: A beautiful opening drive here for the Steelers.

838
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 4: When you see them line up for the Tush push ray,

839
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 4: the Steel City Shove, whatever you want to call it

840
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 4: here in Pittsburgh.

841
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 5: What goes through you?

842
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 4: What's your nervous level.

843
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 5: When they're two yards out? It's not great?

844
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I love the play. I'm a fan of

845
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 7: I'm one of the rare people that loves this ugly play.

846
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 7: I want them to start the game tonight and do

847
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 7: it every play in a row from the ten. I mean,

848
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 7: if you watch Josh Allen, it look like they could

849
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 7: do that all day if they wanted to. The Eagles

850
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 7: when they had it perfected, looked like they could do it.

851
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 4: Now, I they can't pull out of the garage without

852
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 4: hitting the side of the uh, you know, the door.

853
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 4: They're a mess.

854
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 5: They won't even try it. They didn't even try yesterday.

855
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 4: They're a mess. And no surprise, San Francisco bested them yesterday.

856
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 4: And the Steelers have some variations on that. They had

857
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 4: that That's what I wanted to get to.

858
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 17: The hand off to gain weall in Chicago, which went

859
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 17: for a huge play almost for a touchdown, and then

860
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 17: the Connor Hayward keeper around the right end. So they

861
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 17: got some stuff on tape where people can't necessarily just

862
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 17: load up on it.

863
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 5: Abby's got your news.

864
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 8: When we come back, we'll get your recapped on the

865
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 8: Golden Globes.

866
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 4: At FNB, we rewrote the rules of banking and made

867
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 4: getting everything you need a whole lot easier experience. The

868
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 4: one of a kind Eastore Common app from fn.

869
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 5: W DV Pittsburgh and iHeartRadio Station.

870
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: Guaranteed Human Rogers gets a snap four man rush coming

871
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: Rogers back lofting lock has a.

872
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 6: Bit wide open.

873
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 4: Touchdown Pittburgh Steelers.

874
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 25: What fifty five second dramatic.

875
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 4: God, Yeah, here we go?

876
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 10: You better believe it?

877
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 5: Did you hear me?

878
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 14: Where we go?

879
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 9: We first thing in the morning.

880
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 4: Here we go, Steelers, Here we go, faceberst Gurball.

881
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 14: Here we go.

882
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 4: You know tonight the Steelers hosting the Texans wild Card

883
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: weekend culminates in the eight to fifteen kickoff Monday Night

884
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 4: football here in Pittsburgh.

885
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 5: Comedian raised wading with us this morning.

886
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 4: Uh getting set for Aaron Rodgers to lead the Pittsburgh

887
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 4: Steelers onto the field tonight and can they get past

888
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 4: that vaunted Houston Texans defense.

889
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 5: We shall see. I'm not scared of their offense.

890
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 4: I think the way this plays out in the reason

891
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 4: I feel good about the Steelers chances tonight is not

892
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 4: that I think we're gonna put up a ton of

893
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 4: points on that defense. I think our defense can do

894
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 4: some stuff against their kind of mediocre offense. I think

895
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 4: we can get the ball in some really good field

896
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 4: position because of some big defensive plays that can turn

897
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 4: the tide of the game.

898
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 5: Boswell's gonna have to be sharp.

899
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 4: He's already said like, hey man, I'm fine, which is

900
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 4: good because Ben was like, I know.

901
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 5: You're all messed up between the years, but don't worry

902
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 5: about it.

903
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 4: Ben, stop trying to help. I believe Boswell will be

904
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 4: fine tonight, and I think he's gonna be a big

905
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 4: reason why the Steelers end up winning sixteen to ten.

906
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 4: Ooh six.

907
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 5: I got a twenty to fourteen, Okay, so we're not

908
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 5: far away from each other there.

909
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it doesn't seem like it's going to be

910
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 4: a high scoring game, which probably means the script writers

911
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 4: will make sure that it's a forty seven to forty

912
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 4: five juggernaut of a offensive explosion.

913
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 7: Hey man, as long as it's on the rights, I'm

914
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 7: with you. I we need a win, dude. It's been

915
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 7: too long. I know, I know, I know we're spoiled

916
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 7: brats in the grand scheme of it all. We are,

917
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 7: but we we deserve it, you know. And I've been

918
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 7: working so hard as a fan I have. Yeah I

919
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 7: did you? Did you if you saw the beginning of

920
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 7: the Bears game. One of the things that was bothering

921
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 7: me is the uh they they do the towels.

922
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 4: I hate everybody Jacksonville, Adam too, but like they our

923
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 4: towels are like my Terrible towel I've had for twenty years.

924
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 7: It's signed by Ricardo Cokeley. There's blood on it, there's

925
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 7: you know, it's like should be in an evidence locker, right,

926
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 7: Like like these like.

927
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 5: They're passing like that's our thing.

928
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're passing them out for free.

929
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, total bs.

930
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 4: I was trying to explain that to somebody who was

931
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 4: new to the Terrible Terrible towel culture, that it's not

932
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 4: just a yellow towel.

933
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 5: These are like family heirlooms.

934
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 4: At this point. Did you see Bradley Cooper on that

935
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 4: commercial he calls it the Steelers waving their yellow napkins. Yeah,

936
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 4: and I know what the bit is. I know it's

937
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 4: a food thing, but it still irritates me every time

938
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: I hear it. Yeah, I refuse to support any of

939
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,200

940
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 4: every rumor about him I'm substantiated or not. It's going

941
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 4: on our air waves anytime someone brings him up. You're like,

942
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,080

Speaker 4: and and like every like terrible towels have a store.

948
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 4: Why do you, by the way, who does Bradley Cooper

949
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 4: root for?

950
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 13: Uh?

951
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 4: Nobody?

952
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 26: Now?

953
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 4: Eagles? And what happened to the Eagles after Bradley Cooper

954
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 4: called the terrible towel a napkin? Oh knocked out?

955
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 5: It's a real curse. It's the curse of coat. You

956
00:45:59,360 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 5: can't tell me.

957
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 4: I would love to bait a prominent member of the

958
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 4: Houston Texans into I shouldn't say bait member of the

959
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 4: Houston Texans. That's that's got some bad history. But I

960
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 4: mean b A I t uh into doing something bad

961
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 4: to the towel boy. I shouldn't say Patriots thing too

962
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 4: as well.

963
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 5: But you know what I'm saying this, they're too squeaky

964
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 5: clean of a team right now.

965
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 4: DeMarco Ryan has this team playing, uh, Demico Ryan has

966
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: this team playing soundly on defense offense.

967
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 5: They don't have a whole lot. They don't have a

968
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 5: whole lot. I think t J.

969
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 4: Watt can have a game tonight. I think Cam Hayward

970
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 4: has been a monster on the defensive line. Ke Benton

971
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 4: and uh also Harmon coming up big. They're not make CJ.

972
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 6: Now.

973
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 5: CJ. Stroud can throw the ball.

974
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 4: But you know when you have t J. Watt and

975
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 4: Alex high Smith and her big closing down on you,

976
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 4: maybe that's just enough for the Steelers to create problems

977
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 4: that he's got to get rid of the ball quickly.

978
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 5: It's secondary can capitalize.

979
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 7: If I was a betting man, which you are, Yeah, Steelers,

980
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 7: I'm taking a Steelers touchdown defense defense defender touchdown.

981
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 4: I like that usually in that like plus seven hundred range,

982
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 4: and it's always a fun one, always a fun fun

983
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 4: one is.

984
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 5: When it hits really well.

985
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: You know, it's like it was like my Derek Watt

986
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 4: touchdown that I played every single week until the week

987
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 4: he scored. I did not play at the week he scored.

988
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: It was like plus twenty three hundred. Every time. I'm like,

989
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 4: they're gonna give it to him one of these days

990
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 4: when he was full back for US, and they did

991
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:41,799

1001
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 8: News this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems,

1002
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 8: Web Basement, Keystone Basementsystems, dot Com, Times of Clouds and Sun.

1003
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 9: Today it is the high of thirty eight.

1004
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 8: The Golden Globes were last night. The show was packed

1005
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 8: full of celebs from TV and film. It was also

1006
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 8: filled with some big wins and some big moments, and

1007
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 8: we're going to cover it here. So Nikki Glazer kicked

1008
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 8: off her second straight Golden Globes hosting gig by calling

1009
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 8: it mockingly, without a doubt, the most important thing that

1010
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 8: is happening in the world right now, which was a

1011
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 8: good self awareness there, but before launching into jabs at

1012
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 8: Warner Brothers, the Justice Department. And I give her credit

1013
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 8: because the show was airing on CBS, but she went

1014
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 8: after CBS News and.

1015
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 27: The award for most editing those two CBS News. Yes,

1016
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 27: CBS News America's newest place to see BS News.

1017
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 4: I mean, great joke. They flashed Martin Short and Steve

1018
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 4: Martin when she made that, and they loved it.

1019
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, Generally it was a pretty tame show. I

1020
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 8: want to say, I got to like the first hour

1021
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 8: and a half of it. She's a great host because

1022
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 8: she's such a huge entertainment fan, so she genuinely loves

1023
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 8: the shows and the movies and the celebrities that she's

1024
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,479
Speaker 8: joking about, and that radiates for sure.

1025
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 4: So she's qualified for the gig, and she well, she's

1026
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: such a season stand up too, Like even the stuff

1027
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: that I saw her doing, interstitial stuff where she was

1028
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 4: like standing out in the crowd and just doing quick

1029
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 4: like segments, and she's doing self depreciating humor and funny

1030
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 4: stuff like just zooming through, So she wasn't above it all.

1031
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 4: She's like, no, I'm a scumbag. You guys are royalty. Yes, yea,

1032
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 4: it's a pro yes, And she's so damn funny.

1033
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 9: I didn't think she had to qualify.

1034
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 8: Any of her jokes, and she did do that a

1035
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 8: few times, like where I think a lot of people

1036
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 8: would have said this year, she stayed away from any meanness.

1037
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 8: So anytime she was doing anything that even walked that

1038
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 8: line of maybe being mean, she'd be like, I love you,

1039
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 8: I love you, I love you. And she felt like

1040
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 8: she kind of needed to apologize a little too much.

1041
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 8: I kind of wish she hadn't done that because I

1042
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 8: don't think she needed to, but I understood it just

1043
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 8: because of again, maybe the culture of.

1044
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 4: The show or the moment right now. She did that

1045
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 4: with a good Leo joke. She said something like it

1046
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 4: brought up some of his accomplishments, and she was like,

1047
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 4: he did all this before his girlfriend turned thirty.

1048
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,120

00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 29: You're so funny, and you and The Rock together are

1055
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:09,919

00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,600

1149
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 4: wearing his Hemingway's shirt. I mean, all really well done

1150
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,719

Speaker 5: That's gonna pass.

1152
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 4: But the lead nurse, who I think won an award

1154
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 4: she's a really good actress, the blonde blonde. But for

1155
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 4: some reason, her tone has changed and it seems like

1156
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 4: she's trying to do like a like a sassy Pittsburgh lady,

1157
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 4: but it sounds more like a sassy like Brooklyn lady

1158
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 4: from a nineteen fifties movie, you know what I mean.

1159

1161
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 4: that's what's happening.

1162
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 26: Now.

1163
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 4: I'm like, that's not it, Okay. Are there any other

1164
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh inaccuracies? You've noticed so many? I mean, yeah, yeah,

1165
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 4: there's so many. Look, I know you've been up there

1167
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 4: down here in the regular world of Pittsburgh, we have

1168
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 4: been watching this show and criticizing it NonStop for their

1169
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 4: lack of ability to get some small things right like Holies.

1170
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got fish sandwich from Holies.

1171
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 4: No, no, no, that's Woolies. I'm surprised everyone didn't delete

1172
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 4: their HBO masscription.

1173
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 5: It made the news.

1174
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 7: It was like I remember, like I couldn't watch any

1175
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh movie with my dad ever because like striking distance,

1176
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 7: all we did was complain about like the driving. Oh yes,

1177
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 7: he was like that. You know that streak doesn't connect it.

1178
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 7: It's a movie. Man, Bruce Willis on a boat.

1179
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 4: Oh he can just turn right out of Armstrong Tunnel

1180
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 4: and magically be on Grandview Avenue.

1181
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

1182
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 9: Yes, stuff like I heard a suspension of disbelieve.

1183
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I can't suspend this. Look, the four Bridge

1184
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 4: can't suspend that much. I believe tonight. It's the beginning,

1185
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 4: it's the Biginn, it's Steeler's Tections, it's playoff football back

1186
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 4: in the Burg. And Aaron Rodgers is a big part

1187
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 4: of why that is happening. And Aaron Rodgers has said

1188
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 4: all along this was about one person, him coming to Pittsburgh,

1189
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 4: and it's not Aaron Rodgers, who's always about Mike Tomlin,

1190
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 4: who's always about him working with Mike T.

1191
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 18: And he is all a lot of you probably in

1192
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 18: this group, either publicly or privately, we're talking about Mike

1193
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 18: T getting next. So it feels good to shut all

1194
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 18: those comments down. We love Mike T, and Mike T

1195
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 18: is an incredible career as a head coach. To go

1196
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 18: that long and never have a losing season, it's unbelievable.

1197
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 18: There's always going to be something.

1198
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 13: You know.

1199
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 18: When I was a young player, they said, you know,

1200
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 18: couldn't be considered the lead to I won a playoff game,

1201
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 18: and then after that it was till you win a

1202
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 18: super Bowl, and oh you haven't won MVP yet and whatever.

1203
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 18: They might be for Mike T, he said, but nineteen

1204
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 18: straight non losing seasons, so they got to find something

1205
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 18: to try and get after him. Mike T's probably like

1206
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 18: me though, thedn't give a whole lot about any of

1207
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 18: those those comments, but it is nice because we all

1208
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 18: love him and want to play for him and want

1209
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 18: to win for him.

1210
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:11,840

1211

Speaker 17: New England Patriots on Sunday this coming Sunday, January the eighteenth.

1242
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 17: That'll be the second game on Sunday, follow by Rams

1243
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 17: Bears in the first game on Saturday. It'll be the

1244
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 17: Bills at the Broncos and then the forty nine Ers

1245
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 17: at the Seahawks.

1246
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 4: That's how wild Card Weekend has shaken out to this point.

1247
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 17: And of course, the headlining component of this Houston Texans

1248
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 17: team that will invade Actorscher tonight is its ability to

1249
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 17: unleash hell off the edge.

1250
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 5: Will Anderson Junior and.

1251
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 17: Danil Hunter are absolute twin tears in terms of edge

1252
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 17: rush pressure, but Steelers defense coordinator Tarrell Austin thinks his

1253
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 17: guys can generate some too.

1254
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 19: They are those guys are really good, and we think

1255
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 19: our guys are really good. So you know, we're just

1256
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 19: hoping our guys show up and give us their best

1257
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 19: effort and best their best selves this this weekend and

1258
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 19: it helps us win, because that's really all I care about.

1259
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 17: Actually, as Alex Heismith revealed a couple days ago, Austin

1260
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 17: cares about.

1261
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 4: A little bit more than that.

1262
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 31: No, it's just emphasizing and that we got to be

1263
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 31: the best edge group in the stadium this weekend.

1264
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 17: It's been emphasized. We got to be the best edge group. Gee,

1265
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 17: I wonder who emphasized that. Yeah, and it's interesting, he says, group,

1266
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 17: because you gotta include Nick Herbig in that.

1267
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 5: Well, let's see him a little more often. Tonight, Hunter and.

1268
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 17: Anderson combined for twenty seven sacks between them, and if

1269
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 17: you throw in their two backups who are not slappy players,

1270
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 17: Derek Barnett and Denico Autrey, Houston's four edge guys produced

1271
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 17: thirty five and a half sacks this season. Pittsburgh, if

1272
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 17: you combine high, Smith, Watt, Herbig, and Sawyer twenty five.

1273
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 17: But the Steelers are playing at home, which means the

1274
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 17: Texans are the team on the silent count, which means

1275
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 17: the edge goes to the Pittsburgh Rush.

1276
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 5: That's a big deal. Can the Steelers ruin CJ.

1277
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 17: Strouds night more than the Texans are going to try

1278
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 17: to ruin Aaron Rodgers night?

1279
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 5: Who can protect their quarterback? This has been Mikey to victory.

1280
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 4: You heard me saying this the whole time, is that

1281
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:06,479
Speaker 4: I think the Steelers can disrupt the Texans offense more

1282
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 4: than Houston will disrupt ours. Now, you pointed out something

1283
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 4: as we were going into the commercial break there about

1284
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 4: the simplicity of Houston's defense. You know, there was a

1285
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 4: metric that rated defenses across the league in terms of

1286
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 4: different looks you'll see, and it used three factors, which

1287
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 4: was like personnel, you know, different formations use and I

1288
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 4: can't remember what the third one was, but the point.

1289
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 5: Being, Houston was last in the league in changing things up.

1290
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 17: It's the most obvious simple here we are, you know

1291
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 17: where we're gonna be, and you know what we're gonna

1292
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 17: do defense in the league. Right, it's also number one

1293
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 17: yards against and it would have been number one points

1294
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 17: against if they would have gave a crap about the

1295
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 17: regular season finale against the Colts which they did not.

1296
01:03:58,440 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 5: They gave up a bunch better.

1297
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 17: So that takes away one of Aaron Rodgers superpowerful, his

1298
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 17: ability to diagnose and figure it out and dissect and

1299
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 17: not be.

1300
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 5: Fool because they're not trying to fool you.

1301
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 17: They're trying to kick your ass, right, They just they

1302
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 17: would just rather do that, and I'm very good at it.

1303
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1304
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 17: The other thing about the protection, Houston is going to

1305
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 17: play a ton of single high which is going to

1306
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 17: invite the deep sideline ball. Now you can't throw those

1307
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 17: all night, but can they keep Rogers upright enough to

1308
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 17: hit two or.

1309
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 6: Three of those.

1310
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 4: It's huge having DK back for that, no question, no question.

1311
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 4: I mean, Adam Feeling, I think can be a nice

1312
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 4: slot guy. But if you have DK, all of a sudden,

1313
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 4: Calvin Austin becomes a little more of a weapon because

1314
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 4: if you're gonna leave him alone, it's not so much

1315
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 4: that he's gonna battle catch, although he has from time

1316
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 4: to time he can get past guys.

1317
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 5: Yes, he can get behind you.

1318
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 17: And the other critical component of the matchup for the

1319
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 17: Steelers on offense is the flats because just Tuesday, Mike

1320
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 17: Tomlin was talking about how they've relied all year on

1321
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 17: the checkdowns to gain Well and Warren, and they turn

1322
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 17: little plays into big place. Well, I don't know if

1323
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 17: you do that against these guys because Houston. One another

1324
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 17: component in addition to pressure is team speed. They're incredibly fast,

1325
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 17: and Hunter and Anderson they're not just I'm going to

1326
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 17: rush the quarterback and everybody else do everything else.

1327
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 5: They tackle.

1328
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 17: Uh If Rogers tries those little checkdowns, they're going to

1329
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 17: turn and chase from behind. And they got two inside

1330
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 17: linebackers Henry to Oh number thirty nine and uh Aziz

1331
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 17: al Shair number zero. These guys are lightning. There's some

1332
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 17: names right there. They give us a couple of names.

1333
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 17: They get to the flat, pay extra to get those

1334
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 17: jerseys and they yeah to to Oh, it's to pastrophe

1335
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 17: O capital to o Pastrophio. He's out Alabama. He was

1336
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 17: considered a very middling guy coming out of Alabama.

1337
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 5: Or oh yeah.

1338
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,439
Speaker 17: But I mean, can the Steelers facts make these guys

1339
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 17: miss in the flat? I don't know if they can't.

1340
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 17: I don't know if they can't.

1341
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 4: I mean Game one and warn are pretty good. These

1342
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 4: guys are pretty good.

1343
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 17: It's like strength on strength at a lot of places

1344
01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 17: when you're trying to try to move the ball against

1345
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 17: these guys. And then the other thing, you know, turnovers.

1346
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 17: Steelers are really good at turnovers and really good at

1347
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 17: protecting the ball. Houston's even better, just by a little bit.

1348
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 17: So if they're counting on yeah, we'll turn them over

1349
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 17: and get a short field and get some cheap points.

1350
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 17: I don't know if they should be counting on that.

1351
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 17: And Stroud is not going to throw it deep a ton,

1352
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 17: but when he does, he throws a spectacular deep ball. Yeah,

1353
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 17: So they got to be able to stop the run

1354
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 17: in kind of a regular deployment, not have to load

1355
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 17: up against it like they did against Baltimore. And they

1356
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 17: if they can handle the run with a light box,

1357
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 17: which they should be able to do, because these guys

1358
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 17: don't run the ball well, They're going to run at

1359
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 17: a bunch Houston because they don't think you can score

1360
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 17: on them. They'll be happy running and punting all night

1361
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 17: and then you know, take their periodic shots. But if

1362
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 17: the Steelers can play light box, stop the run and

1363
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 17: then keep the back end secure, which they did not

1364
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 17: do against the Ravens, calculated risk.

1365
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I burned him a couple of times, but not

1366
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 5: not so much that they lost. Like I've heard someone

1367
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 5: down there that you know, all.

1368
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 17: People are gonna Houston should look at that Steelers Ravens

1369
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 17: tape and realize how vulnerable they are in the secondary.

1370
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's Houston's not getting that look tonight, right. The

1371
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 4: Steelers aren't Houston. They're not going to roll out the

1372
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 4: same deed. Unless Houston can run, then then the Steelers

1373
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 4: have a real problem. And we're not prepping for Derrick

1374
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 4: Henry this time around.

1375
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 13: No, what is it?

1376
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 4: Woody Marks and.

1377
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 5: Out of USC?

1378
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 6: Just a guy?

1379
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 17: Yeah, just I mean he plays hard, he's physical, you know,

1380
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 17: one cut and go, he puts his shoulder down.

1381
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 5: But he's he's a fourth throned guy out of USC.

1382
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 4: I don't like just minimizing people on the postseason with

1383
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 4: just a guy label because those just the guys roll

1384
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 4: off one hundred and thirty yards I guess sometimes, you know,

1385
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 4: I mean the guys coming out party. The guy they

1386
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 4: wanted to be.

1387
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 5: The guy was Joe Mixon. We all know what kind

1388
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 5: of back he is.

1389
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 17: Imagine this team, if it could run, it would be

1390
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 17: the favorite because he's got the best defense.

1391
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 4: Abby's got your new well, actually, Abby we're gonna have

1392
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 4: a little delayed news, but we'll probably get to a

1393
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 4: couple of stories at the top of the hour.

1394
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was gonna say we would remember the legacy

1395
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 8: of Bob Weir.

1396
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 4: Alan Paul Rock, writer for Rolling Stone and Guitar magazine,

1397
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 4: celebrated author of course and Pittsburgh native, will join us

1398
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 4: to talk about Bob Weir. And also he was at

1399
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 4: the Detroit game and he has a funny story he

1400
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 4: wrote about being at the Detroit game and how his

1401
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 4: health became in peril because of the stress of the

1402
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 4: end of that Lions Steelers game. You think about it,

1403
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 4: from the Lions game on, it has just been for

1404
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 4: anybody with a heart condition, I mean, really dangerous treading.

1405
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 4: For Steelers fans, the Lions game, the Browns game, all

1406
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 4: the way until the missed fourth down in the end

1407
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 4: zone there that would have tied the game. We ended

1408
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 4: up losing to the Browns, and then the missed loop

1409
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 4: field goal. There hasn't been a relaxing moment in a

1410
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 4: month for Steelers fans.

1411
01:08:58,960 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 32: It's not fun.

1412
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 4: Is the guy that hit the deck after the bettest

1413
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 4: fumble in Indies he still with us.

1414
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm not sure that was one of the old time

1415
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 5: great ones.

1416
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 4: He was at chupkas on the South Side and thankfully

1417
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 4: on the on the megatouch machine, they have a defribillator.

1418
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 4: You just have to put the fifty save that guy's life.

1419
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 4: Charlie Batch talks Steelers next.

1420
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,400

Speaker 4: I'm talking about. From the Steelers defense tonight. Cam Hayward

1434
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 4: with those big paws in the air, CJ. Strad who's

1435
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 4: a tall guy. He's a tough guy to bat down,

1436
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 4: but still the defense can get some pressure on him.

1437
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 4: And we're gonna talk to Charlie Batch about what they

1438
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 4: they may or may not be able to do here.

1439
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 4: Brought to you by Edgars Nightner and Associates local lawyers

1440

Speaker 4: helping people from these Steelers. Audio Network postgame show. Charlie

1441
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 4: Batch is joining us right now.

1442
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:27,560
Speaker 5: What's up, Chalk? How are you about it?

1443
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 10: I'm doing well. Good morning.

1444
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 33: Every One?

1445
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 5: Tell me about CJ. Stroud.

1446
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 4: What does he do well or what does he do

1447
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 4: that makes him vulnerable that we might be able to

1448
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 4: capitalize on.

1449
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 30: Yeah, I mean he had the strong arm, but he's

1450
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 30: also able to kind of maneuver around that pocket and

1451
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 30: bay some time. But the one thing that he does

1452
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 30: do if he does have pressure, you know, he's up

1453
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 30: to make that error air and throw that. You get

1454
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 30: to that point you're just like, okay, what is he doing?

1455
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 30: There's always that hair scratcher, So you just have to

1456
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 30: make her. You have to make him very uncomfortable in

1457
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 30: the pocket here today, Chroy.

1458
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 17: This looks like a game. Both quarterbacks should be really

1459
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 17: uncomfortable in the pocket. If you're playing for either one

1460
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 17: of these teams. At what point do you say, you

1461
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 17: know what, we can't We can't block these guys, so

1462
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 17: we're gonna have to do this and this instead of

1463
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 17: that and that, Like you do you make that acknowledgement

1464
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 17: going in or do you try it a couple of

1465
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 17: times and see how it goes. What's the what's the

1466
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 17: feeling out process for trying to keep your quarterback alive tonight.

1467
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 30: Yeah, it's gonna be one of those things where you're

1468
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 30: gonna be frustrating because both quarterbacks probably gonna turn around,

1469
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 30: hand the ball off to the running back and then

1470
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 30: all of a sudden, it's no game one yard, so

1471
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 30: they're gonna get frustrated. But again that that test your

1472
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 30: patience at that particular point. And this is where you

1473
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 30: lean on the experience of Aaron Rodgers, because he's gonna

1474
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 30: take what the defense gives him, and if the play

1475
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 30: is not there, he's gonna throw it away. We're on

1476
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 30: the flip side, CJ is he'll get frustrated and then

1477
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 30: try to make a play down the field, and that's

1478
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 30: where you force those Aaron throws and you have to

1479
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 30: make them pay for it. It's not a matter of

1480
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 30: if it's gonna happen, it's a matter of when, and

1481
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 30: when it does, you have to capitalize off of it

1482
01:11:59,040 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 30: with turnover.

1483
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 4: So do you do anything if you're Arthur Smith, to

1484
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,759
Speaker 4: counteract the fact that you likely have half a second

1485
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 4: less for Aaron Rodgers in like pulling some of those

1486
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 4: routes in a little bit, or just anything different for

1487
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 4: the majority of the game, taking the occasional pop or

1488
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 4: is it just business as usual and hope for the best.

1489
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's going to be business as usual.

1490
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:22,560
Speaker 30: But this is going to be a game where the

1491
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 30: fans are going to have to be patient because you've

1492
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 30: seen throughout the course of the year, if the offense

1493
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 30: is not going those boo bos come out earlier and earlier.

1494
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,400
Speaker 30: This is going to be a frustrated game because there's

1495
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 30: going to be a lot of punts in this football game,

1496
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 30: and this is going to be one probably a low

1497
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 30: scoring game, you know throughout early on, where people are

1498
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:41,480
Speaker 30: going to get frustrated.

1499
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 10: They just have to be patient.

1500
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 30: Still throw it that encouragement out there to the team

1501
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 30: because now this is the best of the best in

1502
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 30: the playoff field. There's not going to be many blowouts

1503
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 30: in that particular manner. So they just understand this game

1504
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 30: right here with both defenses is the way that they are.

1505
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 30: This is going to be a stout game and if

1506
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 30: you love defense, this is a game of watch.

1507
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 5: Feels like it could be a bit game for eighty

1508
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 5: eight tonight, Charlie, it has to be.

1509
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 30: And you know down the field, Yes, we've been talking

1510
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 30: about this a lot throughout the course of the season,

1511
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 30: involving in the passing game. But the one thing that

1512
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 30: you know he's going to be challenging, and I'm sure

1513
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 30: Coach Toman challenging it on this week. When you have

1514
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 30: a defense who runs a four to three, the key

1515
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 30: matchup in the in this game is tight end versus

1516
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 30: defensive end.

1517
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:23,959
Speaker 10: So at some point Friar.

1518
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 30: Muth is going to have to contain that edge and

1519
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 30: hopefully that Spring score a running game to get going

1520
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 30: at some point.

1521
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 4: Charlie Batcher with the Steelers on your network post game show,

1522
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 4: he and Mike another late night Monday night football, and

1523
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 4: you talked about the effect of that home crowd tonight

1524
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 4: and that really helps neutralize a little bit a Houston's

1525
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,799
Speaker 4: defensive advantage they've had. If this game was in Texas,

1526
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,759
Speaker 4: the Steelers might be in a whole lot more trouble.

1527
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1528
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 10: I agree with that one there.

1529
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 30: And this is a game where really, and this is

1530
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 30: why you want the home field advantage where Aaron Rodgers

1531
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 30: is going to have to use that snapcount as a weapon,

1532
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 30: quick count, hard count. But it's also important to not

1533
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 30: getting to those third and long where one dimension when

1534
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 30: they know you're going to pass the football, so he

1535
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,799
Speaker 30: has to use his cadence as a weapon here today.

1536
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 5: Charlie, Texan's coming in having won nine straight.

1537
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 17: They've won a postseason game in each of the last

1538
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 17: two seasons, so they obviously have some belief. But the

1539
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 17: sense I'm getting around the Steelers is their belief is

1540
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 17: off the charts. A lot of that's got to do

1541
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 17: with Rogers, a lot of that's got to do with

1542
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 17: the way they've won some dramatic games down the stretch.

1543
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 17: Can they claim an intangible advantage here or is that

1544
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 17: fifty to fifty like everything else in this game, but.

1545
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 30: They can claim the advantage, but also taking that underdog approach,

1546
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 30: because yeah, all odds are on the Texans. Everybody's like, yeah,

1547
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 30: they won nine in a row, But quietly, the Steelers

1548
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 30: have won four four out of the last five, and

1549
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 30: it would have been five obviously if they didn't have that.

1550
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 10: Hickup in Cleveland.

1551
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 30: So these guys are confident, they believe in what they're doing,

1552
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 30: They believe in this matchup that they favorable to them,

1553
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 30: and this is one that they're ultimately trying to get

1554
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 30: over the hump. It starts here tonight, and what better

1555
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:00,759
Speaker 30: way to do it in front of an audience.

1556
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 4: Charlie, You know, you see offenses being aggressive like never

1557
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 4: before in the NFL going forward on fourth a whole lot.

1558
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 4: Do you think, because of the expectation of this game

1559
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 4: being a tight one, that we might see more of

1560
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 4: Tomlin's conservative approach, which was that was his mo all

1561
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 4: the time. He seems to have adjusted a little bit

1562
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 4: to hope so, but he has he has been a

1563
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 4: little more aggressive in recent weeks in particular. Do you

1564
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 4: think it'll revert back to the boring and predictable Steelers'

1565
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 4: decision making that we became accustomed to.

1566
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 30: I think this one here will be situational, and I

1567
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 30: think ultimately that's going to play series best series because

1568
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 30: the one thing you don't want to do, because you

1569
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,720
Speaker 30: know that this Houston offense is not going to light

1570
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 30: you up, you don't want to give him a short field.

1571
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 30: Do you go forward on your minus forty five and

1572
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 30: now all of a sudden it's fourth to one and

1573
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 30: you give them the ball to forty five.

1574
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 10: If you don't convert, this is not the game to

1575
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 10: do that.

1576
01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:59,759
Speaker 30: I can understand maybe on the goal to go situation,

1577
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 30: but not out in the middle of the field. Take

1578
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 30: the points because the points are going to be a

1579
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:04,759
Speaker 30: premium here today.

1580
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,240

Speaker 10: I appreciate you. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 4: All right on the way, Jerry do Lack will join

01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 4: us at eight forty five more Steeler talk getting ready

1599
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 4: for tonight's Texans game. But when we come back from

1600
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 4: this commercial break, remembering Bob, we are with rock writer

1601
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 4: Alan Paul. He wrote about Bob for Rolling Stone magazine.

1602
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 4: Allan's a Pittsburgher, He's been on the show a longtime

1603
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 4: front of the show, UH and celebrated author. If you've

1604
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 4: never read One Way Out as Almond Brothers biographee, it's

1605
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 4: it's it's essential reading for anybody who likes, you know,

1606
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 4: rock and roll bios in his TV Ray Vaughan book

1607
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 4: also another one that you should probably have in your collection.

1608
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 4: But we're going to talk about Bob Weir, uh and

1609
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 4: UH forty nine Ers fan, I should point out Bob

1610
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 4: Weir when we come back. That's why you had to

1611
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:21,799
Speaker 4: bet on the forty nine ers yesterday.

1612
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 6: Mite.

1613
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,679
Speaker 17: You should have gave me that intel now, Ray, I'm sorry,

1614
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 17: this needs to be in a text before the game.

1615
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 10: Nothing.

1616
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 5: Alan Paul talks Bob. We're next on DV.

1617
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 4: You get in a car accident and think, well, the

1618
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:36,560
Speaker 4: insurance company's going to take care of me, Yeah, not

1619
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 4: so much. It's Randy from the DV Morning Show. The

1620
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 4: team at Edgar Snyder and associates. They know how this

1621
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 4: really works, what the Grateful.

1622
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 6: Did meant to them, and this feeling that this is

1623
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 6: really sort of over now.

1624
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 21: But I think if we think of it in terms

1625
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 21: of Bob as a person, he probably went out feeling secure.

1626
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 6: And whatever was coming next.

1627
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 21: I didn't feel that, because that's certainly the way he

1628
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 21: always talked about Jerry.

1629
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it always seemed to me he had like that

1630
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 4: George Harrison approach to the afterlife, where it was like,

1631
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 4: this guy is totally ready to die. Anytime he talked

1632
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 4: about it, he seemed very at peace with the transition

1633
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 4: that occurs there. And The Grateful Dad's music was so

1634
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 4: often about death.

1635
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 21: Right, that's correct, and I think that I think that

1636
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 21: the shock is all the greater because it comes so

1637
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 21: close on the heels of Phil dying.

1638
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a year, it's a.

1639
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 21: Little over a year, but there's a finality to losing

1640
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 21: both of them, because you know, it's been thirty years

1641
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 21: since Jerry died, over thirty years.

1642
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 5: Nobody could have.

1643
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 21: Imagined at that time in nineteen ninety five that there

1644
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 21: would be this multi decade run of The Grateful Dad

1645
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 21: that you know, eventually merged into Dead and Company on

1646
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 21: a very grand scale. But even before that, and aside

1647
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 21: from that, music that Bobby and Phil played and then

1648
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 21: played with so many people, you know, it reached so

1649
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 21: many people, and I think the fact that they did

1650
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:12,640
Speaker 21: reach out and play with so many young musicians is

1651
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 21: crucial and means that this.

1652
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 6: Is going to carry on for a long time.

1653
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 21: So just like you know, Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks

1654
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 21: have different legitimacy playing the Allman Brothers music because of

1655
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 21: their you know, decades playing in the band and with

1656
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 21: the real guys, everybody who played with Bobby and Phil,

1657
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 21: which is voluminous at this point, will carry that and

1658
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 21: have a stamp.

1659
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,919
Speaker 6: Of legitimacy that they couldn't have had otherwise.

1660
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 21: So I think that number of young musicians they played

1661
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 21: with is you know, an amazing contribution they made that

1662
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 21: will really help the music carry on. And I think

1663
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 21: that they were both very conscious of that and wanted

1664
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:51,600
Speaker 21: to do that.

1665
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 4: And that's what I was going to ask you if

1666
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 4: that was a natural thing for them to do or

1667
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 4: if there was a conscious push to make sure that

1668
01:19:58,240 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 4: they were For lack of a better way of saying it,

1669
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 4: indoctrinating the kids to making sure that they were able

1670
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 4: to you know, it's like what Grateful Dead Guitars does,

1671
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 4: where they bestow all of these beautiful guitar instruments on

1672
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 4: people who are carrying the torch for Grateful Dead music

1673
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 4: to make sure that they're using appropriate instruments. It seemed

1674
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 4: like Bobby made sure that all the people who were

1675
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 4: kind of following in his footsteps got to touch a

1676
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 4: little of the greatness and be a part of it

1677
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 4: and kind of gave him the blessing of like, Okay,

1678
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 4: you are one of the keepers of the flame.

1679
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 13: Now, you know.

1680
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:32,679
Speaker 5: He touched his torch to theirs. I think call that doctor.

1681
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 21: I don't know there was intentional in the sense of

1682
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 21: being the primary objective. I think the primary objective was

1683
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,600
Speaker 21: that they really enjoyed playing with the younger musicians and

1684
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 21: different musicians than having that interaction. But I think it

1685
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 21: was certainly a very much a conscious decision, and I

1686
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 21: think as time went on it may have been more

1687
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:54,599
Speaker 21: and more the point. And Bobby said to me directly

1688
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 21: in an interview at one point that one of the

1689
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 21: things he was really happy about with Dead and Company

1690
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:00,640
Speaker 21: was that.

1691
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 6: Oto to some extent in John.

1692
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 21: Mayer to a large extent, would now be primed to

1693
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 21: carry the song for decades after he again, to use

1694
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:12,440
Speaker 21: his phrase.

1695
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 6: Had left this mortal coil.

1696
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 4: So you know, you have a great ability to speak

1697
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 4: to his technical proficiencies. Bob Weir was an underrated musician,

1698
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 4: and if you could give me your take on his

1699
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 4: approach to his role in The Grateful Dead and in

1700
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 4: just playing Grateful Dead music in the cannon that he

1701
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 4: helped create.

1702
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 21: Well, you know, Bob, And again, something that he talked

1703
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 21: about a lot of that was interesting.

1704
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 6: He had very severe dyslexia, and the think his name

1705
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 6: was Bob. It's true.

1706
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 21: He related that the way he approached music was somehow

1707
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 21: related to his dyslexia. The main role that most people

1708
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,560
Speaker 21: think him as a rhythm guitar player is to be

1709
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,560
Speaker 21: consident to repeat the same pattern over and over. So

1710
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 21: you know, you go through a song and you're trying

1711
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 21: to set the pad and so you know, if you

1712
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 21: think of it a simple chord progression, that's really.

1713
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 6: Common as GCD. So if you're playing a GCD.

1714
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 21: Song, play the GCD over and over and over, and

1715
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,720
Speaker 21: you're going to vary the tempo and the dynamics and

1716
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 21: various things, but the chord progression stays the same. And Bob,

1717
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 21: and I think partly because of his dyslexia and the

1718
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 21: way his brain work, didn't really repeat.

1719
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 6: The same thing.

1720
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:38,879
Speaker 21: And so he took what could have been a debilitating weakness,

1721
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 21: because that is the heart of the role, and turned

1722
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,559
Speaker 21: it into something that became a hallmark of his style,

1723
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 21: which is, instead of playing the same thing, I'm going

1724
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 21: to just keep mixing it up and I'm going to

1725
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 21: play variations of these chords. Maybe it's because of memory,

1726
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:59,759
Speaker 21: you can't do it, and developing that into a style.

1727
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 21: And it also grew partly out of Phil Lesh's really

1728
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 21: un orthodox bass playing.

1729
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 6: Almost not a.

1730
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 21: Bass player before he joined the Warlocks, which became a

1731
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 21: grateful pan. He was a trumpet player who was a

1732
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 21: fan of avant garde classical music, and so he also

1733
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 21: didn't play the traditional bass role, which is also playing

1734
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:21,600
Speaker 21: repeating notes, and so Bobby, partly because of his personality

1735
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:23,640
Speaker 21: or whatever, partly because he was fitting in with what

1736
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 21: Phil was doing, just played these sort of very strange

1737
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 21: chords in between, and then eventually he realized that what

1738
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 21: he was doing was similar to what McCoy tyner, the

1739
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 21: piano player from the John Coltrane Quartet, who was a

1740
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 21: huge influence on them and on lots of rock musicians

1741
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 21: who wanted to be improvisational were doing. He tried to

1742
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 21: pattern his guitar playing after that piano playing instead of

1743
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 21: after traditional guitar playing, and I think it took him

1744
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 21: a little while to come up with that approach, but

1745
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 21: it was extremely unique and unorthodox, and anybody who formed

1746
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 21: a grateful ditch be bad. That is going to be

1747
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 21: the Bobby guy realizes that pretty quickly.

1748
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 4: To really make it.

1749
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 21: Sound right, you have to keep changing what you're doing.

1750
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 21: And if you're not a musician, you might not realize this.

1751
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 21: But for a chord like you take a simple g chord,

1752
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 21: which is like the first chord that a lot of

1753
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 21: people learn on guitar, but there's a million ways to play.

1754
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 21: You can play it up and down the fret anywhere,

1755
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 21: you can substitute different notes, and that's what Bobby did.

1756
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 21: Even when he did play repetitive patterns, he never played

1757
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:31,480
Speaker 21: the same version.

1758
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 6: Of the chord over and over.

1759
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 21: And these are really subtle little things, but they make.

1760
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 6: A huge difference.

1761
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 21: And if you play the same music without doing that,

1762
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 21: even if you're playing technically the right chords, it will

1763
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 21: never sound right.

1764
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 4: Alan Paul and Rolling Stone writing about the radical guitar

1765
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:55,679
Speaker 4: playing of Bob Weir As as we've all eulogized, Bob

1766
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 4: all Weekend long dead at the age of seventy eight.

1767
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 4: So my question to you is often said that he

1768
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 4: thought he had played more shows than just about anybody

1769
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:10,600
Speaker 4: in the world ever. And if you talk about just

1770
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 4: sheer amount of people from the age of seventeen to

1771
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 4: seventy eight, he never really took a big long break

1772
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:22,560
Speaker 4: for any extended period of time. And the terms of

1773
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 4: the scope of those shows allan is he on top

1774
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 4: of that mountain.

1775
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 21: And it's something I don't believe can be proved, because

1776
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,759
Speaker 21: how could you count that? But I think it's obviously true.

1777
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 21: I don't know who else could possibly be right.

1778
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,640
Speaker 4: There's jazz musicians who played, you know, small shows a

1779
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 4: few times a week for their entire lives. I get it,

1780
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 4: But this is something different what he was doing. These

1781
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 4: were major productions and huge shows that never stopped each year.

1782
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 21: Yeah, and he seemed to be so driven to perform.

1783
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 21: And that's why to go back to what we were

1784
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 21: at the beginning. Was it surprising? The fact that he

1785
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 21: wasn't playing any shows and wasn't popping up was a

1786
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 21: pretty good tell that something was right, because he never

1787
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 21: ever took breaks.

1788
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 6: The guy just played and played and played.

1789
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 21: You know, he would do a long Dead and Company show,

1790
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 21: he'd immediately go out with Bobby and the Wolf Brothers.

1791
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 21: He would up up, he would sit in with people.

1792
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 21: He was everywhere because he lived. He loves to play.

1793
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 21: And in the last big interview I did with him

1794
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 21: a couple of years ago, we discussed at length the

1795
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 21: fact that he had severe stage fright, which was amazing

1796
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,560
Speaker 21: to me. It's hard to imagine or comprehend, and you

1797
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 21: think that it's something you would get over, but he

1798
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 21: said that he never ever got over it until he walked,

1799
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 21: and it always went away within halfway through the first song,

1800
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 21: or just a little bit into the first song. But

1801
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 21: he never ceased to have it before walking on stage,

1802
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:02,640
Speaker 21: which is fascinating. Greg Oman said the same thing to

1803
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:06,680
Speaker 21: me somebody else who never stopped performing and as soon

1804
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 21: as he was off the road, you knew something was wrong.

1805
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 6: But Greg said that he had it.

1806
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:15,719
Speaker 21: Every performance, and then when he would start to saying

1807
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 21: he couldn't look at the audience. He always looked to

1808
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 21: the sky and saying the first note to God. And

1809
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 21: as soon as he's saying the first note, it was over.

1810
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 21: And then he would look at the audience and the stage.

1811
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 6: Fright was gone.

1812
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 21: And they certainly didn't talk about this together, but Bob

1813
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 21: says something very very similar to me. I thought that

1814
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 21: was fascinating and it's something I'd love to go into

1815
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 21: and look at more. And Bob also told me that

1816
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:41,720
Speaker 21: Jerry had the same kind of stage fright.

1817
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 6: I've spent a bunch of time.

1818
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 21: Looking I never found an interview in which Jerry discussed that,

1819
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 21: but Bob said it with great certainty and certainly would be.

1820
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 6: In a position and to know. So I think that

1821
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 6: just a fascinating topic that I don't know how to resolve.

1822
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 21: But it's an interesting point that somebody who literally had

1823
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 21: probably performed in for the more people than anyone ever

1824
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 21: still to the end, had stage fright before he walked out.

1825
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 4: Every time Alan Paul wrote about Bob, We're understated master

1826
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 4: in Rolling Stone. You can check out that piece on

1827
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 4: Rollingstone dot com. And I'd be remiss if I did

1828
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 4: not bring up that you, being a Pittsburgher and a

1829
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 4: diehard Steelers fan, We're at the Detroit Lions game, and

1830
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,639
Speaker 4: you texted me and said your.

1831
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 5: Apple watch was worried about you during the game. My

1832
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 5: apple watch is worried about me game.

1833
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 4: That is true.

1834
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 21: And you know, listen, I wear my Apple Watch and

1835
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 21: I watch all the Steeler games, and you know, we've

1836
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,760
Speaker 21: had a lot of last second insanity in these games,

1837
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,040
Speaker 21: as we all know. But that was the first time

1838
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 21: that I started getting a lurt basically sing are you okay?

1839
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 21: I think this specific thing was you've had an accelerated

1840
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 21: heart rate for over four minutes without a to be exercising,

1841
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 21: are you.

1842
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 4: Uh?

1843
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 21: But you know, I had these amazing feats of that game.

1844
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 21: I was I was right, uh in the first row

1845
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 21: behind the end zone, which is the end zone where

1846
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,640
Speaker 21: everything was happening. So uh it was it was, you know,

1847
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 21: in really that incredible Kenny game. Well, touchdown was right

1848
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 21: in front of my face, which is one of the

1849
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 21: greatest things I've ever seen, certainly.

1850
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:24,599
Speaker 6: From that angle.

1851
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 21: And then you know, the lunacy at the end of

1852
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 21: the game with a touchdown not touchdown was right in

1853
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 21: front of my face. So yeah, my heart got a

1854
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,840
Speaker 21: little bit of a workout. I survived fine. I didn't

1855
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 21: get any alerts last week during the Ravens game. Yeah yeah,

1856
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:44,679
Speaker 21: I was back to saying some kind of Bob Weird

1857
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 21: style meditation.

1858
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:49,720
Speaker 5: I suppose we're just sitting in the legs.

1859
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 4: And nothing like that.

1860
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 6: This is tried.

1861
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 21: January a little tough this year with these games the

1862
01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 21: way I wanted to post the Bob as well. But

1863
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 21: I'm hanging in there. I made it through that Ravens game.

1864
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 21: I made it through Bob's death, the highs and the lows,

1865
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 21: and so I think he'll be okay for the next

1866
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 21: few weeks.

1867
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 4: Alan Paul, thanks so much, man, appreciate your time as always.

1868
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 6: Thank you, and you know Bobby forever.

1869
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and go.

1870
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 4: Steelers all right tonight it's a eight to fifteen kickoff

1871
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:24,560
Speaker 4: Steelers Texans right here in your radio home of the

1872
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 4: Steelers and Aaron Rodgers leading the team out there tonight.

1873
01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 4: This has been a long trajectory to this point here

1874
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:37,080
Speaker 4: from Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers. If you remember in

1875
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 4: the preseason when there was the Woody or won't he

1876
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 4: come here? And all of that added into the controversy

1877
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:50,800
Speaker 4: surrounding Aaron Rodgers and Steeler nation. To say that they

1878
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 4: were nonplussed is probably generous. I'd say it was seventy thirty.

1879
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 4: They did not want Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback, but

1880
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 4: that has slowly changed to everybody is super psyched at

1881
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is the Steelers quarterback. I didn't say one

1882
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 4: bad word about him. No, my tune changes so quickly

1883
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 4: on this man. It is.

1884
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 7: It is my one of my most like current toxic

1885
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 7: relationships is me and Aaron Rodgers.

1886
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:18,639
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1887
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,800
Speaker 7: Is it's it's it's like, uh, you know, after the

1888
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,680
Speaker 7: Browns game, I'm like, can he actually do it? And

1889
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 7: then after the Ravens game, I'm like, dude, he's back

1890
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 7: in his prime.

1891
01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 4: We're good. I'll trust him with my life. Yeah, but

1892
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,719
Speaker 4: we're going to the ASH Championship. Yeah, at least. Adam

1893
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:40,880
Speaker 4: Thielan was on Christian Koon's podcast talking about how Aaron

1894
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:42,639
Speaker 4: Rodgers is just special.

1895
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 34: He's calling this to probably throw this, and for some reason,

1896
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,639
Speaker 34: when I line up and got the press coverage single high,

1897
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 34: I was like, yeah, he's.

1898
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 4: Gonna throw me.

1899
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 5: I gotta get open.

1900
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 34: And all game, I mean, they were all over us, like,

1901
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 34: I mean, they were holding and grabbing and doing whatever

1902
01:31:57,920 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 34: taking and they were making the calls, so like credit

1903
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 34: to them, Like if you're not making the call, if

1904
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 34: you're not getting called for holding, you got past interference,

1905
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:05,320
Speaker 34: Like keep going, keep doing it.

1906
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 5: And so I knew it was gonna be a physical play.

1907
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:11,120
Speaker 34: I knew there wasn't gonna be a whole lot of separation,

1908
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,839
Speaker 34: but I was trying to just give airon an indicator

1909
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:16,080
Speaker 34: kind of with a little stutter to say, okay, I'm

1910
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 34: ready for it, and he kind of read my body

1911
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 34: language and again like I didn't. I came up to Maver,

1912
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 34: I go hey, after watching that play back, like that

1913
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 34: was a dot Like when you're in the game, you

1914
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:27,880
Speaker 34: just don't really just like balls and air boom, like

1915
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 34: try to catch it, right, But that was an insane

1916
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 34: throw and I did not see that ball because of

1917
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 34: the trajectory. It was so low and Marlin was like

1918
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 34: right in my vision and so I did not see

1919
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:42,680
Speaker 34: that ball until basically three to five feet until it

1920
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:45,600
Speaker 34: got to my hands. So just reacted, which sometimes is

1921
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 34: the best right You just react, like voting ball, catch it,

1922
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 34: And obviously was was pretty fired up to just make

1923
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 34: that play and gave me a little bit of adrenaline.

1924
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 34: And there's nothing better as a receiver to get a

1925
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,600
Speaker 34: little bit of adrenaline and the kind of get that field.

1926
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 2: Back to pass looking throwing up the right seed beautifully

1927
01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:08,799
Speaker 2: throne ball and what a catch by feeling tight coverage

1928
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 2: by Humphrey.

1929
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:13,400
Speaker 4: I mean that was a dark, a perfect crow down

1930
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 4: of the eleven yard line. It's the Pittsburgh Steelers in

1965
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:25,000
Speaker 17: I know it's really difficult to call.

1966

Speaker 4: I understand that they do.

1967
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:30,160
Speaker 17: And then you throw the playoff element into it and

1968
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:33,040

1974
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 13: You know, we like our chances because we're all together

1975

Speaker 13: and you know, we thrive up so people either counting

1976
01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 13: us out, people not believing in us, and you know,

1977
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 13: us trying to play our basketball. We have a really

1978
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 13: tight knit group.

1979
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 6: There are a lot of.

1980
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 13: Things guys do that just incorporate everybody and I'm really

1981
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 13: appreciative of that. That speaks to, you know, the leadership

1982
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:18,720
Speaker 13: around this group. That speaks to the buy in from everybody,

1983
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 13: and I'm just thankful for that. You know, there's one

1984
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 13: or two ways this thing to go at different moments

1985
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 13: in the year, and you know, each step of the way,

1986
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:33,640
Speaker 13: guys have always, you know, chose to be a.

1987
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 5: Part of it.

1988
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 17: Yeah, there's definitely a couple of points in this season

1989
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 17: where it could have gone off the rails. I mean,

1990
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:42,439
Speaker 17: I thought it was off the rails after the green

1991
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:46,720
Speaker 17: Bay game, after the Buffalo game, the Bills game, I

1992
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 17: thought it was over. Even after the Cleveland game. The

1993
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:52,760
Speaker 17: second one. Yeah, because because they didn't have Metcalf for

1994
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 17: the first time, and they looked like they were incapable

1995
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 17: of scoring a touchdown.

1996
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 4: Because they didn't score one that might have been one.

1997
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 5: And yet here they are.

1998
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 17: The biggest reason they're here, I guess, and the biggest

1999
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 17: reason not that they're here, but that they're here with

2000
01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:12,679
Speaker 17: some belief and some hope and some actual possibility that's

2001
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:16,799
Speaker 17: palpable is because of Aaron Rodgers. And that has everything

2002
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 17: to do with how quickly Rogers fit.

2003
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:22,120
Speaker 13: In the first day he came in, he talked about

2004
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 13: he wants to start the group, and I think that

2005
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 13: spoke a lot to his mindset approaching us, And you know,

2006
01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 13: it's one thing to say with words, it's another thing

2007
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:38,360
Speaker 13: to you know, take part in everything we do to

2008
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:43,760
Speaker 13: get to know players offensively, defensively, special teams, you know,

2009
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 13: even the little you know. You know, Herbig and him

2010
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 13: go back and forth from time to time. But there

2011
01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 13: is a there's a competition that you know, breeds just

2012
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 13: togetherness amongst everybody in our group.

2013
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 17: Herbig and Rogers. Rogers is forty two, what's herb in

2014
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 17: twenty four to twenty five. One guy's a four time

2015
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:06,640
Speaker 17: MVP going to the Hall of Fame quarterback.

2016
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 5: The other guy's a.

2017
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:12,920
Speaker 17: Complimentary outside linebacker, still finding his place in the league

2018
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,200
Speaker 17: and doing a good job doing that. But you know,

2019
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 17: how do those guys get along? That's just that's the

2020
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 17: vibe they got going right now.

2021
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 7: Good vibes. We're the good guys clearly tonight, like we're

2022
01:38:22,840 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 7: not the bad guys. Yeah that you guys should win. Yeah,

2023
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:28,240
Speaker 7: everyone's rooting for us tonight. Yeah, the whole country's rooting

2024
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:31,719
Speaker 7: for us. Because that's the story. That's the fun story.

2025
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers at forty two, leading the Steelers out of

2026
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:41,599
Speaker 4: the abyss of playoff futility. The Texans have nine fans.

2027
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:43,320
Speaker 4: What are we doing here?

2028
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 17: We have to win, and they've got a pretty simplistic mo.

2029
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 17: You know, defense get out there and kill them. Defense,

2030
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 17: get out there and kill him. I mean, there's not

2031
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 17: a lot of intrigue, there's not a lot of no redemption,

2032
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 17: there's not a lot of rise above it all kind

2033
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:01,480
Speaker 17: of you know, overcome adversity.

2034
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 5: And they're just really good.

2035
01:39:04,439 --> 01:39:04,640
Speaker 10: I know.

2036
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:06,840
Speaker 4: I love that aspect of it though, that it's just

2037
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 4: like it's keep it simple, stupid and just do everything

2038
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 4: the right way. And then they just have monsters on

2039
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 4: the edges and they do everything right in the secondary,

2040
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:16,679
Speaker 4: and they got great coverage.

2041
01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 17: They got really good corners number four, Lasser, number number

2042
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 17: twenty four, Stingley whose first team All Pro. Their nickel guy,

2043
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 17: Jalen Peatree, number five. He was one of those great

2044
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:30,080
Speaker 17: Kazoo concussion protectors.

2045
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 4: Things.

2046
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,560
Speaker 17: He plays like he's like a safety corner hybrid and

2047
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 17: he's he's the extra dB, which they use him a lot.

2048
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:38,040
Speaker 5: He's really good.

2049
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 17: I talked about the two inside linebackers today, thirty nine

2050
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 17: to to oh and zero Al Shazier just incredibly fast

2051
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:50,680
Speaker 17: and physical. It's a very good team, but Steel's got

2052
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:54,560
Speaker 17: some possibilities as well. And you know, back to the

2053
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:55,800
Speaker 17: emotional component of it.

2054
01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 10: Uh.

2055
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 4: They ad a little uh addition to the tradition this year.

2056
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 10: Year.

2057
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:03,400
Speaker 17: Instead of just Mike, Tom and Cam Hayward walking off

2058
01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:07,200
Speaker 17: the field together after a big dup, now Aaron Rodgers

2059
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 17: has made that a threesome.

2060
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:10,599
Speaker 5: Bringing Rogers into the fold.

2061
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 13: You know, after we got that first one in New York,

2062
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 13: you know, me and Mike t had talked about he

2063
01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:20,640
Speaker 13: was like, let's bring this old man along with us,

2064
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:26,719
Speaker 13: and you know, we wanted to give him an experience

2065
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:28,920
Speaker 13: of what it's like to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, uh

2066
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 13: and welcome into that and show him that you know,

2067
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 13: we're with you along this ride, this journey. You don't

2068
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 13: have to walk alone. And I think that's our leadership. Like,

2069
01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 13: you know, we have a bunch of leaders, but it's

2070
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 13: not one guy doing it by itself. It's it's a

2071
01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 13: group of guys. It's a it's a team that really

2072
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 13: gets the job done. And you know, me and Mike

2073
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 13: T eve been doing for a while.

2074
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,920
Speaker 17: It's what we ask of each other. But it's also

2075
01:40:58,040 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 17: like we get to stay in the face of it

2076
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 17: when it gets New England. That'll be uh this coming Sunday.

2077
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 17: That'll be the second game I think after Rams Bears.

2078
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,720
Speaker 17: Next Saturday, it's Bills at the Broncos and forty nine

2079
01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 17: Ers at.

2080
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:15,920
Speaker 4: The Seahawks after a wild wild card weekend. Oh man,

2081
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 4: was it fun? I mean every single game was fun.

2082
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 4: If you're a Bears fan right now, you have to

2083
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 4: think the Pope has intervened here, because that seemed like

2084
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 4: there was divine intervention.

2085
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 5: They were beat about sixteen times, weren't they.

2086
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,280
Speaker 4: I mean the look on the faces of those Bears

2087
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 4: fan fans during that game, there's no way any of

2088
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:36,439
Speaker 4: those people thought they were going to come back and

2089
01:41:36,479 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 4: win that game.

2090
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 17: I think that was their first playoff win in sixteen years.

2091
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 5: Do you see that the one video of the Bears

2092
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 5: fan grating cheese?

2093
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 6: Yes?

2094
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:49,720
Speaker 4: Like really Caleb Williams, Yeah, oh you did it after

2095
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 4: the game?

2096
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 5: Yeah he did.

2097
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2098
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 17: By the way, did you hear his on field interview? No,

2099
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:59,560
Speaker 17: it was fantastic. Like I've always perceived them as a

2100
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 17: little slow with pretty good readings. He too, like maybe

2101
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 17: too slappy to be the leader. But he did one

2102
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:06,720
Speaker 17: of those silly on field interviews right after the game.

2103
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 17: Which usually or nothing, but we won you. I forget

2104
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 17: who was doing the interview, but simple questions. He came

2105
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 17: up with detailed answers with depth and context and leadership.

2106
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:22,120
Speaker 4: That's the new thing in the NFL, though, whether it's

2107
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts fortune cookie stuff or is really.

2108
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,760
Speaker 17: Impressive listeners to speak, which is the first time I've

2109
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,439
Speaker 17: ever said that about a guy who once lost a

2110
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 17: game at usc and and ran to cry on his

2111
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 17: mother's shoulder in the stands.

2112
01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that was a bad look. And then there

2113
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 4: are people who, you know, the homophobic people out there

2114
01:42:39,200 --> 01:42:42,439
Speaker 4: who keep calling him the LGBTQQB because he paints his

2115
01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:46,720
Speaker 4: his nails and it's kind of funny. But and I

2116
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 4: don't know if it was in this interview or if

2117
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:50,080
Speaker 4: it was in the locker room, but I had read

2118
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:53,000
Speaker 4: that he had said to his teammates, like, you get

2119
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:57,799
Speaker 4: paid for the regular season, and the postseason is about

2120
01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:58,639
Speaker 4: your legacy.

2121
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:01,519
Speaker 17: That was not in this interview, but he talked about

2122
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 17: I think the interview asked him what it just what's

2123
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 17: this win mean? And he went through the fans and

2124
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:11,759
Speaker 17: the organization and the team and how their comeback ability

2125
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:14,560
Speaker 17: and how it was really good stuff, which is not

2126
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:15,880
Speaker 17: usually the case in those things.

2127
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:17,880
Speaker 4: Comedian Razor Whine. He's been hanging out with us all

2128

Speaker 5: It's the Big Enn.

2184
01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:01,919
Speaker 4: This is the culmination of what Mike Tomlin had promised

2185
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 4: to Aaron Rodgers at the beginning of the year, which

2186
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 4: was an opportunity to play playoff football with a contender.

2187
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:16,120
Speaker 32: Yeah, and you know Randall last week. Had they not

2188
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 32: made it, man, that would have you know, that would

2189
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:24,840
Speaker 32: have been almost cataclysmic for the franchise. But the next step,

2190
01:46:24,920 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 32: of course, is to win a playoff game. I mean,

2191
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:30,480
Speaker 32: that was the purpose, not to get to the postseason,

2192
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 32: but to win a playoff game. Because we know they've

2193
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:37,040
Speaker 32: been to the postseason, so we're gonna see. We're going

2194
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 32: to see. And I will say this though, he I mean,

2195
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 32: he was a big reason that they made it to

2196
01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 32: the postseason. The way he played last week, you know,

2197
01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:52,400
Speaker 32: answering each of those long touchdowns with those two scoring drives,

2198
01:46:53,160 --> 01:46:56,160
Speaker 32: he's calling you know, he's calling the plays effectively the

2199
01:46:56,240 --> 01:47:00,599
Speaker 32: line of scrimmage because they had to and uh man,

2200
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 32: they responded, He responded, They responded, And now you know,

2201
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 32: against this type of defense, we're you know, we're gonna

2202
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 32: take the next step and see see if if they

2203
01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 32: can win a playoff game. It's gonna be tough because

2204
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 32: of the style Houston plays. But I'm just, man, I'm

2205
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:19,679
Speaker 32: curious to see how how he's gonna handle it, because

2206
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 32: it's gonna it's gonna be all about him and what

2207
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 32: he's able to do with the line of scrimmage against

2208
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:24,559
Speaker 32: his defense.

2209
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 4: Well, that speaks to what I wanted to ask you

2210
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 4: about next, which was the difference between the last year

2211
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,519
Speaker 4: and this year in terms of confidence, clearly attributable to

2212
01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:33,840
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. But what is the trickle down effect of that?

2213
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:37,600
Speaker 4: What do you see that's different under the leadership of

2214
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers with his team that has come to fruition.

2215
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:45,679
Speaker 32: Yeah, you know, I'm not gonna sit here and throw

2216
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:48,640
Speaker 32: water on what Russell Wilson did or what type of

2217
01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 32: quarterback he is, because he uh, you know, he was

2218
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 32: a leader with them, he always has been in his career.

2219
01:47:56,880 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 32: But it's just it's just a different level, uh with

2220
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 32: Aaron Rodgers. And and it's the it's the calming effect too.

2221
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 32: It's not that Russ was a panicky kind of guy,

2222
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:11,120
Speaker 32: because he wasn't. But but this this calming effect you know,

2223
01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 32: that he has on these guys, and which translates then

2224
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 32: to to confidence is man, There's there's no denying the

2225
01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:24,519
Speaker 32: impact what he has had on the rest of these guys. Uh,

2226
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,880
Speaker 32: you know, just you know, forgetting for a moment what

2227
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:27,760
Speaker 32: he's able to do.

2228
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:28,840
Speaker 6: You know.

2229
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:34,719
Speaker 32: You know, Uh, Arthur Smith always says and has said

2230
01:48:34,760 --> 01:48:37,560
Speaker 32: that he's the smartest quarterback in the league. Baroness of

2231
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:40,920
Speaker 32: course he is. Nobody uh would except I don't I

2232
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 32: don't know. Maybe one or two other guys can do

2233
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 32: what he does Matthew Stafford perhaps, but not to the

2234
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:48,919
Speaker 32: level that he does it at the line of scrimmage.

2235
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 32: But the but, but beyond all that, just his effect

2236
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:55,280
Speaker 32: on the players in the huddle, in the locker room,

2237
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:57,600
Speaker 32: whether it's it began a training camp. You know, he

2238
01:48:57,720 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 32: was an open book. He wanted the guys to get

2239
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,400
Speaker 32: to know him, and you could see the way they've responded.

2240
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:06,960
Speaker 32: And you know, there's no denying the impact he's had

2241
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,560
Speaker 32: on this football team. And that's why I'm curious to

2242
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,200
Speaker 32: see if there is a next step, one winning a

2243
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 32: playoff game and then what's after that.

2244
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 5: So you've we've all watched his relationship with Arthur Smith.

2245
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 4: There's times when they are combative, like on the field,

2246
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 4: they are shouting at each other back and forth. How

2247
01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:27,639
Speaker 4: would you describe their working relationship and how that plays

2248
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 4: out during the a game like tonight. You know, if

2249
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:33,559
Speaker 4: things aren't going great, you know the people will say errors,

2250
01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:36,759
Speaker 4: you just go rogue. Let Aaron, you know, call the plays.

2251
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:40,240
Speaker 4: How much of that is actually like if Aaron Rodgers

2252
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 4: disagrees with what Arthur Smith wants to implement, how much

2253
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:46,439
Speaker 4: of a veto does he have on that.

2254
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 32: Yeah, well, first of all, I don't think there's too

2255
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 32: many instances where that occurs. I will tell you Arthur

2256
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:57,400
Speaker 32: Smith loves Aaron Rodgers and so I got no indication, man,

2257
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:01,560
Speaker 32: he is. Aaron Rodgers has given credit to to you know,

2258
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:05,480
Speaker 32: Arthur Smith and his play calls, you know, almost weekly.

2259
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 6: And so.

2260
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 32: Arthur Smith, he you know, he gives Aaron the free

2261
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:15,080
Speaker 32: reign if he wants to change what he's seeing, he can.

2262
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 32: A lot of times he's not changing the play call,

2263
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 32: he's changing, you know, some of the options within the

2264
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:25,760
Speaker 32: play because it's not just one play. That one play

2265
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 32: might have four or five options to it, and Aaron

2266
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:32,560
Speaker 32: then will change within within the original call. And sometimes,

2267
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 32: you know, especially in their hurry Up man, he's calling

2268
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:40,360
Speaker 32: the plays on the fly because he has to. So no,

2269
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:42,720
Speaker 32: I think Arthur Smith gives him that free rein. It's

2270
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:45,680
Speaker 32: it's a little different than the relationship that you know

2271
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,000
Speaker 32: that was occurring with Russell Wilson toward the end of

2272
01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:51,680
Speaker 32: last year. And you know, I think you think so,

2273
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 32: I think there's a lot of that is you know,

2274
01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:57,720
Speaker 32: it's the mutual respect. Now I've gotten no indication. Now

2275
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 32: those two guys get along, both come back out of

2276
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 32: types of intense competitors. Don't want to say combat, they're

2277
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:08,720
Speaker 32: both intense competitors. And we've seen Aaron, you know, show

2278
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 32: some of his disgust on the field. It's not what

2279
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 32: the play call might be with the way somebody ran around.

2280
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 32: We see it all the time, but he's not terribly

2281
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 32: demonstrative about it where it's disruptive or he's showing anybody up.

2282
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:23,639
Speaker 32: But that's just the kind of player is. That's why

2283
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:25,840
Speaker 32: he's lasted twenty one years and it's the four time

2284
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 32: league hemvyp You.

2285
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:30,559
Speaker 17: Know, it's funny, Jerry. I think that relationship is going

2286
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 17: to be on display tonight, Rogers. You know, I'm all

2287
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:37,280
Speaker 17: for letting the guy with twenty one years of in

2288
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 17: helmet experience call it as he sees it. But I

2289
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:43,080
Speaker 17: also think there's going to be a certain element tonight

2290
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 17: where you're going to have to run the ball and

2291
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:49,559
Speaker 17: punt at times and outlast these guys because their pass

2292
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:52,560
Speaker 17: rush is so good and their speed on defense is

2293
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,560
Speaker 17: so good. I don't know that checking out of a

2294
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:57,600
Speaker 17: run to a sideways flank or screen is going to

2295
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 17: get anything accomplished. And you know Roger's history is he's

2296
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 17: more than happy to check out something and throw it

2297
01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 17: because that's what he does and he's really good at it.

2298
01:52:05,960 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 17: But I wonder if he's gonna have the patience start.

2299
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,599
Speaker 17: I'm not saying he's not gonna, but I think he's

2300
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:13,200
Speaker 17: gonna need to.

2301
01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 32: Well, Mike, I think for the most part, what we

2302
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:22,080
Speaker 32: have seen from him is a patient quarterback. I wouldn't

2303
01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:26,840
Speaker 32: sit here and say he's merely a gunslinger. And I

2304
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 32: say that because you know, he's not throwing interceptions none

2305
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 32: in the last seven games and nine of the last ten,

2306
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 32: and he's been sacked percentage wise, is the fewest sack

2307
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:43,120
Speaker 32: per percentage in his career. And that's even taken some

2308
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 32: sacks sometimes. You know, we see him deliberately take a

2309
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:48,599
Speaker 32: sack so as not to turn.

2310
01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:49,040
Speaker 4: The ball over.

2311
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:53,439
Speaker 32: So I think he's been patient.

2312
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

2313
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 32: And you know, some of the quarterback play I've seen

2314
01:52:56,280 --> 01:52:59,720
Speaker 32: the last couple of days in the postseason, I've seen

2315
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:04,040
Speaker 32: guy who aren't that, including the guy who's never won

2316
01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:08,639
Speaker 32: a playoff game, Justin Herbert, and so I I I've

2317
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:10,760
Speaker 32: not seen him be that way. I've not seen him

2318
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:14,439
Speaker 32: go rogue at all. And you know, give it to

2319
01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 32: Ben Roethlisberger Matt Canna to turn the helmet the receiver off,

2320
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:21,120
Speaker 32: you know. So I I, you know, I thought Arthur

2321
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:24,720
Speaker 32: Smith what he did last week, you know, I thought

2322
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 32: it was so essential for him to be key in

2323
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:33,080
Speaker 32: that game, and and you know, not having DK metcalf again,

2324
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:36,040
Speaker 32: and and I thought he was. I thought the way

2325
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:40,720
Speaker 32: they responded against the Ravens, unlike the way they did

2326
01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 32: in Cleveland, coming off that pitiful performance, man, I thought

2327
01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:47,439
Speaker 32: was big. And so I don't I don't. I don't

2328
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:49,519
Speaker 32: see that Aaron Rodgers. I don't see him doing that.

2329
01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 4: Jerry Doulac brought to you by Always Say Flagging in

2365
01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:39,600
Speaker 12: See our bough is tell you likely how special that

2366
01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:42,240
Speaker 12: play was to set up this moment for the rookie

2367
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:44,560
Speaker 12: out of Arizona, the Ravens.

2368
01:55:44,640 --> 01:55:49,400
Speaker 4: Of course, at Justin Tuckers is so long the most accurate.

2369
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 12: Kicker in the history of the league. Rogers can't believe

2370
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 12: what he has just witnessed, what might be the end

2371
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 12: for him. But they went around the country and spoke

2372
01:55:57,720 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 12: to a lot of the kickers who were coming out,

2373
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 12: and they decided Tyler Loop was made of the right

2374
01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:04,880
Speaker 12: stuff for moments like this.

2375
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:09,440
Speaker 5: He now has a chance to win the division for

2376
01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:10,160
Speaker 5: the Ravens.

2377
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 10: The final play of.

2378
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:16,640
Speaker 4: The regular season, for the final swat the playoffs, Tyler

2379
01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:18,000
Speaker 4: lup from forty.

2380
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 5: Four, holding the Steelers the check to the North.

2381
01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:33,320
Speaker 4: The Steelers are the champions of the North. Raised I

2382
01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 4: kneway this. How many times did you watch the replay

2383
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 4: of that missfield goal throughout the week? I mean that

2384
01:56:38,800 --> 01:56:41,320
Speaker 4: night I watched it about twelve times. Yeah, So, I mean,

2385
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 4: I I said before I thought he was gonna make it,

2386
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:47,920
Speaker 4: like thought he was gonna make it, and it was

2387
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:50,920
Speaker 4: my wife that was like he could. And I was like, nah, you.

2388
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:51,600
Speaker 10: Don't know that, you know.

2389
01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 4: I was like, doing, you're sweet, You're sweet. Yeah, you're

2390
01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 4: sweet to think that. But Dixie game is over and

2391
01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:02,720
Speaker 4: he shakes it or slices it, and I got the

2392
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:05,800
Speaker 4: best I told you so I've ever gotten. Yeah, what

2393
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:07,680
Speaker 4: a good feeling that I told you so was. But

2394
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:10,000
Speaker 4: watching that replay over and over again, by the way,

2395
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:13,520
Speaker 4: you know, I love all the rob King calls. Mike Tarico,

2396
01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:15,800
Speaker 4: who I'm not always the biggest fan of, could not

2397
01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:18,640
Speaker 4: have set the stage any better. I mean, you couldn't

2398
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:24,360
Speaker 4: have paid him for a kicker jinx as perfect as that.

2399
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 4: They went door to door in Baltimore asking everyone to

2400
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:32,840
Speaker 4: show videos of them kicking until they found Tyler Loop

2401
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:38,200
Speaker 4: he has the mental fortitude to do this. He also

2402
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 4: assured us he hates massages. He's our guy.

2403
01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 5: He misses it.

2404
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:47,880
Speaker 4: Now after the game, of course, it would result in

2405
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:52,000
Speaker 4: Harbaugh getting fired, and someone asked Tomlin, hey, what if

2406
01:57:52,200 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 4: Tyler Luke would have made that field goal?

2407
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:56,280
Speaker 5: Then what would have happened? And of course he had

2408
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:57,320
Speaker 5: this classic response.

2409
01:57:58,560 --> 01:58:01,000
Speaker 6: You know what it is. My aunt had male parts,

2410
01:58:01,040 --> 01:58:01,720
Speaker 6: she'd be my uncle.

2411
01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, the old thing.

2412
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:10,720
Speaker 4: We all know that. Yeah, and obviously she said that

2413
01:58:10,800 --> 01:58:14,280
Speaker 4: all the time. She really wanted male parts. My aunt

2414
01:58:14,440 --> 01:58:21,880
Speaker 4: was a she was a kookie woman. Steelers Texans tonight, Abby,

01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:31,120
Speaker 21: Yeah.

2419
01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:33,880
Speaker 5: How many beers can I drink on antibiotics?

2420
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean.

2421
01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say two, three, come on, just no. Look,

2422
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:43,080
Speaker 4: you can go back to what I always thought.

2423
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:46,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean I'm doing every year I

2424
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 7: do dry January except Steelers playoff games.

2425
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:49,480
Speaker 21: Yeah.

2426
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:53,040
Speaker 5: I like that, except I did that for so many years.

2427
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 4: Mostly Dry January was my thing, which was my birthday

2428
01:58:56,480 --> 01:58:57,800
Speaker 4: and every Steelers playoff game.

2429
01:58:58,120 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 10: You have to yeah, I love that.

2430
01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:02,200
Speaker 5: But then after a while it.

2431
01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:04,520
Speaker 4: Was like, well the Steelers weren't getting into the playoffs

2432
01:59:04,520 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 4: were winning, so then it was like, okay, NFL playoff

Speaker 4: you know, drinking is good for you and you need

2436
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:20,720
Speaker 4: the social lubricant. So I think for my health, I

2437
01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 4: don't want to do dry January because doctor Oz told

2438
01:59:23,120 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 4: me not to. My dad was saying that way before

2439

02:00:07,120 --> 02:00:09,640
Speaker 9: Are a great way to find out whether people have

2455
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:10,200
Speaker 9: kids or not.

2456
02:00:10,800 --> 02:00:14,080
Speaker 5: They thought it should be a full day off. Well, because.

2457
02:00:16,440 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you have kids, you're like, no, send them

2458
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:22,040
Speaker 4: to school exactly.

2459
02:00:22,160 --> 02:00:24,200
Speaker 8: People are going way to show me you do not

2460
02:00:24,560 --> 02:00:29,839
Speaker 8: prioritize education right in any way in this school district.

2461
02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:32,040
Speaker 9: And then Steeler fans are going, yeah, that's hot.

2462
02:00:32,040 --> 02:00:35,520
Speaker 4: It's not to me. I mean, honestly, Okay, the logistic

2463
02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:39,720
Speaker 4: problem of your child having a two hour delay aside,

2464
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:42,040
Speaker 4: which I would think would be the biggest problem people have.

2465
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:44,440
Speaker 4: They're like, dude, I leave for work, who's going to

2466
02:00:44,480 --> 02:00:46,400
Speaker 4: take the kid? You know, the but what if there's

2467
02:00:46,440 --> 02:00:49,960
Speaker 4: no bus, et cetera. Okay, that being its own problem.

2468
02:00:50,160 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 4: I have no issue with letting kids stay up to

2469
02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:58,000
Speaker 4: watch the game tonight and then letting them sleep in

2470
02:00:58,080 --> 02:01:00,560
Speaker 4: a little bit, because to me, that's part of the

2471
02:01:00,600 --> 02:01:03,800
Speaker 4: culture here in a way, I always say, I don't

2472
02:01:03,880 --> 02:01:06,160
Speaker 4: understand people who don't go to Steeler games here or

2473
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:08,640
Speaker 4: try to go to Steeler games. It is one of

2474
02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:13,800
Speaker 4: the glorious celebrations of being a Western Pennsylvanian and it's

2475
02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:16,960
Speaker 4: right here. It is unique. There's nothing in the world

2476
02:01:17,320 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 4: like it. And why you would deprive yourself of enjoying that,

2477
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:24,040
Speaker 4: I don't understand. But it's important that they realize one

2478
02:01:24,080 --> 02:01:26,440
Speaker 4: of two things at a young age. This is how

2479
02:01:26,520 --> 02:01:30,400
Speaker 4: you instill the Steeler fandom. And you know, like they're

2480
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:33,760
Speaker 4: either going to have their heart broken tonight right and

2481
02:01:33,920 --> 02:01:37,000
Speaker 4: be screaming fire Tomlin in there, you know as they

2482
02:01:37,040 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 4: go to bed or they're gonna learn what it's like

2483
02:01:41,280 --> 02:01:44,360
Speaker 4: when the Steelers win a playoff game and how everybody

2484
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,080
Speaker 4: is in a better like think back on the week

2485
02:01:47,160 --> 02:01:49,000
Speaker 4: that we just experienced here in Pittsburgh.

2486
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:53,720
Speaker 5: Every encounter you had, people are smiling.

2487
02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:58,200
Speaker 4: Good morning, brother, They're in a great mood. Every of

2488
02:01:58,320 --> 02:01:59,480
Speaker 4: the clerk's a chine.

2489
02:01:59,320 --> 02:01:59,880
Speaker 5: Eagle or not.

2490
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:04,040
Speaker 4: Is it two hour delay pending on the outcome or

2491
02:02:04,160 --> 02:02:06,400
Speaker 4: is it two hour delay? No matter what you need

2492
02:02:06,440 --> 02:02:11,040
Speaker 4: it either way you need. It's instilling the ethos of

2493
02:02:11,160 --> 02:02:15,720
Speaker 4: Steeler fanaticism in young pittsburgher's and I'm okay with that.

2494
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:17,880
Speaker 5: Shapiro needs to get on this across the board. I

2495
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:19,080
Speaker 5: agree for the Steelers.

2496
02:02:19,200 --> 02:02:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, now that the Eagles are at Yeah, oh sorry Philly,

2497
02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:27,840
Speaker 4: but we're gonna need your help tonight. That's what I'm saying.

2498
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 14: Now.

2499
02:02:28,160 --> 02:02:31,760
Speaker 4: It should be like from State College West is on

2500
02:02:31,840 --> 02:02:34,720
Speaker 4: a two hour delay. I would love that now if

2501
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,920
Speaker 4: it was across the board, no issues. I think the

2502
02:02:38,120 --> 02:02:40,880
Speaker 4: issue is that parents are like, I don't have a

2503
02:02:41,000 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 4: two hour delay, right, and thank you?

2504
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:45,760
Speaker 13: What do I do?

2505
02:02:46,040 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah? That really screws everything.

2506
02:02:48,680 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 5: Take your kid hung over to work deck like that.

2507
02:02:52,680 --> 02:02:55,480
Speaker 8: So we talked a little bit about the Golden Globes today,

2508
02:02:56,320 --> 02:02:59,600
Speaker 8: we didn't get to everything again. Nikki Glazer returned as

2509
02:02:59,720 --> 02:03:01,960
Speaker 8: the whole We give her pretty high marks.

2510
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:04,520
Speaker 9: It was still a pretty tame affair.

2511
02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:08,720
Speaker 8: She still did hit everybody, but because she's such an

2512
02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 8: entertainment fan, she really walks the line of again giving

2513
02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:18,000
Speaker 8: people their flowers, giving them few jabs, but never going

2514
02:03:18,400 --> 02:03:20,840
Speaker 8: too far that she can't walk it back in any

2515
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:25,000
Speaker 8: way as again an uber fan. One of the interesting

2516
02:03:25,280 --> 02:03:28,360
Speaker 8: things that happened last night for the Golden Globes is

2517
02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:32,920
Speaker 8: it's the first time that they had a podcast category. Yeah,

2518
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:35,160
Speaker 8: you would kind of think that maybe that would be

2519
02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:39,839
Speaker 8: relegated to maybe just the Grammys to have an audio

2520
02:03:39,960 --> 02:03:43,040
Speaker 8: award category, but they, you know, so much of podcasting.

2521
02:03:43,080 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 8: It also has a video element now right everybody has

2522
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:48,240
Speaker 8: like a YouTube kind of segment as well, because like,

2523
02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:49,160
Speaker 8: now we want to.

2524
02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:50,120
Speaker 9: Watch the podcast.

2525
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:53,600
Speaker 8: They did a little spoof where they were making fun

2526
02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:55,960
Speaker 8: of the Nicole Kidman AMC.

2527
02:03:57,400 --> 02:03:58,160
Speaker 4: Reel that she did.

2528
02:03:58,240 --> 02:03:59,880
Speaker 8: It was like a sizzle reel talking about how much

2529
02:03:59,920 --> 02:04:02,000
Speaker 8: we love going to the movies, and it ended up

2530
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:06,200
Speaker 8: being Nikky Glazer basically sitting in her car listening to podcasts,

2531
02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:09,560
Speaker 8: but getting inundated with all the ads for Bombas and

2532
02:04:09,680 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 8: square Space and all the stuff that you kind of can't.

2533
02:04:11,960 --> 02:04:15,240
Speaker 4: Get away with. I freaking love Bombas, dude, Do you

2534
02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:18,880
Speaker 4: really I'm hooked on him. Socks It socks? Yeah, but

2535
02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:19,920
Speaker 4: what what what?

2536
02:04:20,320 --> 02:04:21,040
Speaker 5: They're so soft?

2537
02:04:21,480 --> 02:04:21,720
Speaker 4: Really?

2538
02:04:21,960 --> 02:04:22,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2539
02:04:22,200 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 4: And they're warm. You got them on now?

2540
02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:24,040
Speaker 6: I do?

2541
02:04:24,600 --> 02:04:28,400
Speaker 5: But you know the the problem it works.

2542
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:33,120
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

2543
02:04:33,320 --> 02:04:36,560
Speaker 5: I don't know why they don't let me endorse them.

2544
02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:39,360
Speaker 4: I guess he's my issue underwear. My favorite pair of

2545
02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:40,720
Speaker 4: Bombas got a hole in the heel, and I was

2546
02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 4: a little bummed about that because they're not cheap, and

2547
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:44,880
Speaker 4: to me, it's like they're not as durable as they

2548
02:04:44,880 --> 02:04:46,680
Speaker 4: should be for as expensive of as as they are.

2549
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 4: But man, they are comfy. You throw them away or

2550
02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:51,400
Speaker 4: you're keeping the whole sock. I can't when when you

2551
02:04:51,520 --> 02:04:53,800
Speaker 4: have the hole in the bottom, it's just kind of like.

2552
02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:56,200
Speaker 9: The hole in the Bombas, it sucks.

2553
02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, you can't be that guy. You know, at

2554
02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:00,480
Speaker 4: some point in your life you have to throw out

2555
02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:02,320
Speaker 4: the socks. I have a hole on them, you know. Yeah,

2556
02:05:02,720 --> 02:05:04,880
Speaker 4: it's thirty. I started doing a thirty. I was thrown

2557
02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,440
Speaker 4: away a whole underwear and whole socks. Good for you.

2558
02:05:08,080 --> 02:05:10,080
Speaker 4: You know they say you're throwing up. I'm proud of you.

2559
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:10,360
Speaker 10: Man.

2560
02:05:10,600 --> 02:05:12,600
Speaker 4: You know they said you're supposed to throw away your

2561
02:05:12,680 --> 02:05:16,040
Speaker 4: underwear and your socks every year, every year. Every year.

2562
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:18,640
Speaker 33: I have.

02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:29,400
Speaker 4: can't get rid of.

2566
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 5: Right to me, it's all about elastic.

2567
02:05:32,720 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2568
02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:35,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you know, if there's holes in it, they

2569
02:05:35,240 --> 02:05:35,560
Speaker 5: got to go.

2570
02:05:35,760 --> 02:05:36,160
Speaker 6: They gotta.

2571
02:05:36,240 --> 02:05:38,600
Speaker 4: You can't have holes in your underwear because what happens

2572
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:40,160
Speaker 4: if you got to go to you know, an emergency

2573
02:05:40,240 --> 02:05:42,840
Speaker 4: room or something. You know. Yeah, and we won't say

2574
02:05:42,840 --> 02:05:47,160
Speaker 4: you're the guy the hole in his underwear say about us?

2575
02:05:47,200 --> 02:05:48,920
Speaker 9: Why are we all hanging on our underwear?

2576
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:49,360
Speaker 6: I don't know.

2577
02:05:49,440 --> 02:05:52,760
Speaker 4: I I have old underwear that's still it holds up.

2578
02:05:53,040 --> 02:05:54,360
Speaker 4: But I was thinking about the other day, and I

2579
02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:57,840
Speaker 4: think it's time to let go my woobie. What's you

Speaker 4: name for a grandmother. My would be no, it's uh yeah,

2582
02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:06,160
Speaker 4: that's the Michael Keaton.

2583
02:06:06,560 --> 02:06:09,000
Speaker 5: No, I say the woolly too Yet.

2584
02:06:08,440 --> 02:06:11,120
Speaker 4: Rid of will like because there must be some short

2585
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:12,280
Speaker 4: of connection you have with that. But I have T

2586
02:06:12,440 --> 02:06:14,440
Speaker 4: shirts towards it's the same way, but I look at

2587
02:06:14,480 --> 02:06:17,240
Speaker 4: those as more of like I don't know, those are

2588
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 4: like keepsakes, you know, like concert tees I won't even wear,

2589
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:22,440
Speaker 4: but I don't want to throw them away because I'm like, ah,

2590
02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:25,120
Speaker 4: I loved that concert, and I like looking at that

2591
02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 4: T shirt in my drawer.

2592
02:06:27,400 --> 02:06:27,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2593
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:31,200
Speaker 7: That's different though, That's like it's like nostalgia associated with it.

2594
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:33,040
Speaker 7: Some of these these underwears I don't have any.

2595
02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:37,120
Speaker 4: ESTI yeah, or socks for that matter, or socks, yeah,

2596
02:06:37,160 --> 02:06:40,440
Speaker 4: but yet we feel the need and it's not an

2597
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:42,880
Speaker 4: expensive repurchase in the grand scheme of things.

2598
02:06:42,840 --> 02:06:43,280
Speaker 14: Not at all.

2599
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:47,600
Speaker 9: Actually, every time I like the last like year or so, because.

2600
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:49,600
Speaker 8: You're kind of enlightening me to my own behavior here

2601
02:06:49,720 --> 02:06:51,400
Speaker 8: the last like year or so, Like, I'll go to

2602
02:06:51,520 --> 02:06:53,640
Speaker 8: T J Max or Marshalls and they have like, you know,

2603
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:58,360
Speaker 8: those racks and racks of just like multiple pairs of

2604

Speaker 13: I don't know.

2613
02:07:22,560 --> 02:07:25,360
Speaker 4: They and and and apparently it's more of like a

2614
02:07:26,600 --> 02:07:35,400
Speaker 4: like uh sanitary issue that over time those things Oh yeah, yeah, you.

2615
02:07:35,440 --> 02:07:43,040

Speaker 8: reel was podcasts.

2619
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:57,080
Speaker 9: I guess this is what we have now.

2620
02:07:57,760 --> 02:08:00,280
Speaker 5: That's so funny, it feels true.

2621
02:08:01,040 --> 02:08:05,320
Speaker 9: I did love that Amy Poehler defeated her ex husband

2622
02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:08,640
Speaker 9: when Good Hang One best Podcast.

2623
02:08:08,320 --> 02:08:09,200
Speaker 4: Over Will Arnetts.

2624
02:08:09,560 --> 02:08:10,120
Speaker 5: That's awesome.

2625
02:08:10,160 --> 02:08:13,200
Speaker 9: She didn't say anything, but she had a pretty good

2626
02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:15,120
Speaker 9: line with winning that award.

2627
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:18,280
Speaker 29: This is exactly how I pictured it, Snoop giving me

2628
02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:18,880
Speaker 29: the award.

2629
02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:20,720
Speaker 9: Thank you so much.

2630
02:08:20,920 --> 02:08:21,160
Speaker 15: Wow.

2631
02:08:22,360 --> 02:08:22,600
Speaker 5: Wow.

2632
02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:27,160
Speaker 27: I don't know about award shows, but when they get

2633
02:08:27,200 --> 02:08:28,320
Speaker 27: it right, it makes sense.

2634
02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 8: She's cute. But yeah, I actually I really do like

2635
02:08:34,040 --> 02:08:36,560
Speaker 8: her podcast. She brings the best out in people.

2636
02:08:37,240 --> 02:08:40,320
Speaker 4: I agree, and she always has seemed delightful, but even

2637
02:08:40,360 --> 02:08:42,360
Speaker 4: more so on that podcast. Like I could not imagine

2638
02:08:42,400 --> 02:08:45,560
Speaker 4: Tina Fey doing a podcast, but Amy Polar I definitely

2639
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:46,840
Speaker 4: think she's great at it.

2640
02:08:47,240 --> 02:08:51,680
Speaker 8: Tina Fey, actually, I think would slay for it. Podcasts

2641
02:08:51,840 --> 02:08:52,600
Speaker 8: people off so bad.

2642
02:08:52,760 --> 02:08:53,760
Speaker 9: She probably would.

2643
02:08:54,080 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 8: I loved her narrating her own book when she did

2644
02:08:57,320 --> 02:09:01,320
Speaker 8: Bossy Pants, Like I loved one, just listening to her.

2645
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 8: Still holding out for her to be the one who

2646
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:06,000
Speaker 8: eventually takes over us.

2647
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:06,600
Speaker 4: Now I don't know that.

2648
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:08,680
Speaker 5: She'll do it, but I don't know if she wants

2649
02:09:08,760 --> 02:09:09,200
Speaker 5: that job.

2650
02:09:09,320 --> 02:09:14,080
Speaker 4: Probably not. It's not the best job, like unless you're

2651
02:09:14,320 --> 02:09:17,840
Speaker 4: already Lorden Michaels, I think Seth Myers will probably end

2652
02:09:17,960 --> 02:09:20,640
Speaker 4: up doing it. That's a good call. A good call there.

2653
02:09:21,200 --> 02:09:24,880
Speaker 8: Ricky Gervais won Best Stand Up Comedy on Television, but

2654
02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 8: he was not there to accept, so presenter Wanda Sykes

2655
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:33,720
Speaker 8: thanked God and the trans community hilarious.

2656
02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:38,280
Speaker 5: Well known atheist and anti trans.

2657
02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:42,000
Speaker 9: Also man, she does not like Bill Maher.

2658
02:09:42,680 --> 02:09:42,960
Speaker 14: He was.

2659
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:44,480
Speaker 5: They used to be friends.

2660
02:09:44,840 --> 02:09:45,800
Speaker 7: They're not anymore.

2661
02:09:45,880 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 9: He was in the audience. She called him out to

2662
02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:52,960
Speaker 9: Bill Maher, you give us so much, but I will

2663
02:09:53,040 --> 02:09:53,720
Speaker 9: love a little less.

2664
02:09:54,040 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 4: Just truless.

2665
02:09:58,760 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 5: Did you see his face?

2666
02:10:00,040 --> 02:10:01,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, he did not think that was money.

2667
02:10:01,240 --> 02:10:05,360
Speaker 5: Not thrilled, not thrilled at all. Yeah, why.

2668
02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:08,520
Speaker 4: You wonder, I don't.

2669
02:10:08,520 --> 02:10:09,040
Speaker 5: I don't know.

2670
02:10:09,600 --> 02:10:11,280
Speaker 4: I used to be funny. I used to I used

2671
02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:14,200
Speaker 4: to really like Bill Maher's comedy. And when I was young, especially,

2672
02:10:14,200 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 4: I remember watching him on The Tonight Show as a

2673
02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:18,280
Speaker 4: kid and thinking like, oh, this is because he had

2674
02:10:18,320 --> 02:10:21,160
Speaker 4: such an old school style. But you know, now, it's

2675
02:10:21,240 --> 02:10:24,280
Speaker 4: just everything's political, and there's so much politics thrown at

2676
02:10:24,320 --> 02:10:26,480
Speaker 4: me that I don't even want to do, like I'm

2677
02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:30,880
Speaker 4: not choosing to you know ingest politics, and it's constantly

2678
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,200
Speaker 4: foisted on us. Sure, and so I just can't watch

2679
02:10:33,280 --> 02:10:35,440
Speaker 4: the show anymore because it's just like I get enough

2680
02:10:35,480 --> 02:10:38,280
Speaker 4: of it. He's no longer a comedian, right at this point.

2681
02:10:38,480 --> 02:10:40,760
Speaker 4: It's like John Stewart, you make a conscious decision at

2682
02:10:40,760 --> 02:10:44,680
Speaker 4: some point, you're a funny talking head. You know you're

2683
02:10:44,800 --> 02:10:47,560
Speaker 4: you're a political pundit.

2684
02:10:47,800 --> 02:10:50,040
Speaker 7: But it's but it's crazy that Leonardo DiCaprio was able

2685
02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:52,400
Speaker 7: to take a joke better than Bill Maher is, right,

2686
02:10:52,880 --> 02:10:55,320
Speaker 7: Like he's laughing at the stuff that Nicki Glazer saying,

2687
02:10:55,360 --> 02:10:57,320
Speaker 7: and then that I mean that was from Pretty Tame.

2688
02:10:57,960 --> 02:11:00,800
Speaker 5: You know you talk too much? Joke deal, I know,

2689
02:11:01,440 --> 02:11:01,600
Speaker 5: you know.

2690
02:11:01,680 --> 02:11:04,840
Speaker 4: It was funny about Nicky's joke on DiCaprio two, where

2691
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 4: she's like, made the joke about his girlfriend, like how

2692
02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:11,160
Speaker 4: he did all this in his career before his girlfriend

2693
02:11:11,200 --> 02:11:13,920
Speaker 4: turned thirty, which is a hilarious joke, and then she

2694
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 4: follows it up with the qualifier like, sorry that we

2695
02:11:16,280 --> 02:11:18,800
Speaker 4: keep making this joke, but we don't know anything about you.

2696
02:11:19,160 --> 02:11:21,720
Speaker 4: The last extensive interview you did was in Team Beat

2697
02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:25,280
Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety six. She's like, do you still like

2698
02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:27,920
Speaker 4: pasta a whole lot? You know, which is also a

2699
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 4: really funny save to kind of make it like it's

2700
02:11:30,200 --> 02:11:35,240
Speaker 4: not so like you know, it's exactly yes, exactly, which

2701
02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:38,120
Speaker 4: I think a lot of those other guys who felt

2702
02:11:38,120 --> 02:11:40,960
Speaker 4: like when Joe Koay just ate it as the host

2703
02:11:41,200 --> 02:11:44,720
Speaker 4: of Golden Globes, he did not have as much as

2704
02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:47,800
Speaker 4: he's great on stage doing what he does for his audience,

2705
02:11:48,200 --> 02:11:53,240
Speaker 4: he did not have the skills to win the audience over, which,

2706
02:11:53,240 --> 02:11:54,960
Speaker 4: by the way, is the job. Like I know that

2707
02:11:55,080 --> 02:11:57,280
Speaker 4: people like when Ricky Gervais goes in there and dice

2708
02:11:57,400 --> 02:12:00,840
Speaker 4: is the whole room up, and that's gratifying, you know,

2709
02:12:00,920 --> 02:12:04,240
Speaker 4: to a degree, But like I kind of want to

2710
02:12:04,240 --> 02:12:08,040
Speaker 4: watch somebody who likes movies hosting or like not, like

2711
02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:11,120
Speaker 4: you don't have to go there and treat the celebrities

2712
02:12:11,160 --> 02:12:13,560
Speaker 4: like they're better than everyone else. It's just that, like

2713
02:12:13,720 --> 02:12:15,200
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe that's not the place to do

2714
02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:18,080
Speaker 4: it because it's just not it's it's a different thing

2715
02:12:18,120 --> 02:12:18,760
Speaker 4: all of a sudden.

2716
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:19,879
Speaker 5: It's a certain gear.

2717
02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:22,360
Speaker 7: Too that just some people don't have, Like like Joe

2718
02:12:22,480 --> 02:12:24,840
Speaker 7: Koy is a great stand up comedian, but it's just

2719
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:28,360
Speaker 7: like that gear of being the like, you know, talking

2720
02:12:28,400 --> 02:12:31,080
Speaker 7: to these Hollywood elites, and like I think Nicky Glazer

2721
02:12:31,120 --> 02:12:32,600
Speaker 7: did a good job of towing that line.

2722
02:12:32,640 --> 02:12:35,280
Speaker 4: Like you yeah of like you know, not being too offensive,

2723
02:12:35,440 --> 02:12:37,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, you would be good at that. You would

2724
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:38,880
Speaker 4: be a good host of an award show because I

2725
02:12:39,120 --> 02:12:40,520
Speaker 4: feel like you always have a good sense of the

2726
02:12:40,600 --> 02:12:41,760
Speaker 4: audience that you're talking to.

2727
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:46,360
Speaker 9: You hear that, Oscars, Have you ever hosted any kind

2728
02:12:46,400 --> 02:12:47,480
Speaker 9: of award show or.

2729
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:50,280
Speaker 4: No, I've never hosted an award show or anything like that.

2730
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:53,640
Speaker 4: I have hosted a version of a tough Mutter.

2731
02:12:53,640 --> 02:12:57,720
Speaker 7: When I first started doing stand up in Pittsburgh.

2732
02:12:57,960 --> 02:13:00,879
Speaker 5: They were like, you do stand up, you can host anything.

2733
02:13:01,040 --> 02:13:04,800
Speaker 5: And it was the Gladiator Games and it was Turbo

2734
02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:06,320
Speaker 5: or Nitro.

2735
02:13:07,600 --> 02:13:11,160
Speaker 4: Nitro did not like me. No, oh dude.

2736
02:13:11,200 --> 02:13:13,160
Speaker 7: He ripped the microphone out of my hand because I

2737
02:13:13,200 --> 02:13:16,040
Speaker 7: wasn't doing a good enough job hosting the push up contest.

2738
02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:19,400
Speaker 4: You know, you know me, I'm known for my fitness.

2739
02:13:21,240 --> 02:13:23,200
Speaker 4: He was just like, you gotta be screaming at these people.

2740
02:13:23,280 --> 02:13:25,080
Speaker 4: I was like, I can't do as many push ups

2741
02:13:25,080 --> 02:13:25,280
Speaker 4: as this.

2742
02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:30,000
Speaker 5: Right, you guys are doing great. You did one knocking

2743
02:13:30,120 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 5: out of the park.

2744
02:13:31,360 --> 02:13:34,200
Speaker 4: I didn't any upsets last night or surprises in the

2747
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:42,000

Speaker 8: Pit and the Studio Adolescens also took top honors.

2752
02:13:57,120 --> 02:13:59,320
Speaker 9: So adolescents got some love as well. Which we've talked

2753
02:13:59,320 --> 02:14:00,280
Speaker 9: about before, is that.

2754
02:14:00,480 --> 02:14:02,760
Speaker 4: Limited series that's a one and done done.

2755
02:14:02,880 --> 02:14:05,600
Speaker 9: It is a tough watch. If you haven't had a

2756
02:14:05,720 --> 02:14:06,720
Speaker 9: chance to get to that yet.

2757
02:14:06,800 --> 02:14:09,840
Speaker 8: We still recommend watching it, but yeah, you'll watch that

2758
02:14:09,960 --> 02:14:12,320
Speaker 8: once and you will never return to it. I'll also

2759
02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:15,080
Speaker 8: give the Golden Globes some credit for ending with a

2760
02:14:15,320 --> 02:14:16,720
Speaker 8: nod to Rob Reiner.

2761
02:14:17,120 --> 02:14:20,040

2762
02:14:20,200 --> 02:14:21,760

2766
02:14:28,880 --> 02:14:32,320
Speaker 4: hilarious cartoon character at this point. And listen to how

2767
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:35,000
Speaker 4: he picked the forty nine Ers yesterday. He is one

2768
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:37,720
Speaker 4: of the greatest creative minds in football. Shanahan the head

2769
02:14:37,760 --> 02:14:40,200
Speaker 4: coach of the forty nine ers today, He'll have to

2770
02:14:40,240 --> 02:14:43,600
Speaker 4: be extremely created simply because I don't think they can

2771
02:14:43,680 --> 02:14:44,640
Speaker 4: beat Philadelphia.

2772
02:14:44,880 --> 02:14:45,480
Speaker 6: I just don't.

2773
02:14:45,560 --> 02:14:47,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pick them, but I don't think they can

2774
02:14:47,480 --> 02:14:47,840
Speaker 5: beat him.

2775
02:14:48,480 --> 02:14:53,680
Speaker 4: Once again, folks say twenty guys one word, yeah, forty nine.

2776
02:14:53,800 --> 02:14:54,680
Speaker 5: There you go ers.

2777
02:14:56,680 --> 02:14:59,160
Speaker 4: I don't think they can beat him, but I'm gonna

2778
02:14:59,160 --> 02:15:03,640
Speaker 4: pick them. Okay, though he gets paid the big bucks.

2779
02:15:03,680 --> 02:15:07,640
Speaker 4: That's some serious analysis. Verry's hilarious. Michael being next getting

2812

2813
02:16:53,160 --> 02:16:57,280

2814
02:16:57,520 --> 02:17:00,920
Speaker 17: Here's Boswell on the missed pat against the Ravens that

2815
02:17:01,160 --> 02:17:03,760
Speaker 17: could have cost the Steelers their season.

2816
02:17:04,560 --> 02:17:05,800
Speaker 6: Honestly, in the moment, I don't know.

2817
02:17:06,120 --> 02:17:08,680
Speaker 33: I don't watch film anyway, and everybody you know cracks

2818
02:17:08,720 --> 02:17:13,120
Speaker 33: shows about that. But how I hit it felt really good.

2819
02:17:14,200 --> 02:17:16,680
Speaker 33: Obviously it took the path that it did and they're

2820
02:17:16,760 --> 02:17:18,560
Speaker 33: calling into tip, but I mean, I have no idea.

2821
02:17:18,680 --> 02:17:22,240
Speaker 33: You can't can't tell. You can't tell on film whether

2822
02:17:22,280 --> 02:17:24,760
Speaker 33: it's tipped or whether it's you know, just a shank carve.

2823
02:17:24,879 --> 02:17:26,720
Speaker 33: But at the end of the day, whether it's a

2824
02:17:26,760 --> 02:17:28,280
Speaker 33: block or not, it's on me and I got to

2825
02:17:28,280 --> 02:17:30,040
Speaker 33: put it in and we'll move past it.

2826
02:17:30,600 --> 02:17:33,000
Speaker 17: That was Cam Hayward in the background walking by saying

2827
02:17:33,520 --> 02:17:36,640
Speaker 17: we just need to block better. And if you go

2828
02:17:36,720 --> 02:17:39,600
Speaker 17: back and look at that pat the pressure came between

2829
02:17:39,959 --> 02:17:43,520
Speaker 17: Derek Harmon and Hayward on the left side of the

2830
02:17:43,520 --> 02:17:44,920
Speaker 17: old Hayward's calling himself out there.

2831
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he is. Yeah, there's something weird that's happening.

2832
02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:49,320
Speaker 4: And it happened a couple times yesterday too. And Boz

2833
02:17:49,360 --> 02:17:51,760
Speaker 4: has been hitting the ball. The trajectory of trajectory of

2834
02:17:51,840 --> 02:17:57,880
Speaker 4: his kicks, the rotation on them has been different. And

2835
02:17:57,959 --> 02:18:00,160
Speaker 4: again I always use that golf analogy, like, you know,

2836
02:18:00,160 --> 02:18:01,959
Speaker 4: when you're hitting, you're like, what am I doing? It's

2837
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:04,879
Speaker 4: doing this every time now, and it's doing this weird

2838
02:18:04,959 --> 02:18:07,720
Speaker 4: thing where it's starting off straight and it's not getting

2839
02:18:08,080 --> 02:18:10,080
Speaker 4: it's not getting a high trajectory.

2840
02:18:10,440 --> 02:18:12,880
Speaker 5: He's not getting the loft that he needs to to

2841
02:18:12,920 --> 02:18:13,920
Speaker 5: get it over the line.

2842
02:18:14,959 --> 02:18:17,680
Speaker 4: You know, a sure thing every time and then it's

2843
02:18:18,160 --> 02:18:22,240
Speaker 4: tailing and it does a quick, hard right slice after

2844
02:18:22,360 --> 02:18:25,280
Speaker 4: it starts. It's very strange, and it could be as

2845
02:18:25,360 --> 02:18:29,800
Speaker 4: simple as weighting in. Is has been pulling it back

2846
02:18:29,879 --> 02:18:32,640
Speaker 4: too much or something, you know. But hopefully they get

2847
02:18:32,680 --> 02:18:35,520
Speaker 4: that fixed because you cannot afford for Boss to not

2848
02:18:35,720 --> 02:18:37,480
Speaker 4: just be hitting them straight down the center.

2849
02:18:37,560 --> 02:18:40,680
Speaker 17: Tonight, not tonight, he has missed. Now that they didn't

2850
02:18:40,680 --> 02:18:44,080
Speaker 17: call that a block field goal? Extra point, Yeah, extra point.

2851
02:18:44,120 --> 02:18:46,240
Speaker 17: I'm sorry, but that's three games in a row that

2852
02:18:46,280 --> 02:18:50,400
Speaker 17: a kick has been missed. So whatever is going screwy

2853
02:18:50,480 --> 02:18:54,680
Speaker 17: with the snapholed kick protect process, they got to get

2854
02:18:54,720 --> 02:18:55,480
Speaker 17: that ironed out.

2855
02:18:55,560 --> 02:18:56,840
Speaker 5: I mean tonight.

2856
02:18:57,560 --> 02:19:01,320
Speaker 17: Ky Fairburn of the Texans forty four of forty eight

2857
02:19:01,360 --> 02:19:05,400
Speaker 17: on field goals this year, forty four of forty eight

2858
02:19:05,600 --> 02:19:08,280
Speaker 17: with a long of fifty seven. It's crazy to me

2859
02:19:08,400 --> 02:19:10,480
Speaker 17: that in the last couple of weeks, all of a sudden,

2860
02:19:10,520 --> 02:19:14,080
Speaker 17: guys have started missing kicks right and left, no pun intended.

2861
02:19:14,320 --> 02:19:15,959
Speaker 5: That's how you miss him right or left.

2862
02:19:17,200 --> 02:19:17,640
Speaker 4: Remember, in the.

2863
02:19:17,640 --> 02:19:19,760
Speaker 17: Middle of season we were talking about how automatic kicking

2864
02:19:19,800 --> 02:19:22,280
Speaker 17: had become and the impact that was having on the game.

2865
02:19:22,920 --> 02:19:27,240
Speaker 17: And by Jacksonville yesterday loses to Buffalo by three, and

2866
02:19:27,400 --> 02:19:29,280
Speaker 17: of the first half, the Jags are backed up to

2867
02:19:29,360 --> 02:19:31,959
Speaker 17: like their half yard line with very little time left,

2868
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:34,000
Speaker 17: and they hit a couple of long passes and they

2869
02:19:34,040 --> 02:19:39,080
Speaker 17: got their guy cam long guy hit seventy yard field

2870
02:19:39,080 --> 02:19:41,600
Speaker 17: goals fifty four yard at the gun to the first

2871
02:19:41,680 --> 02:19:44,400
Speaker 17: half and he missed it, I know, And that's in Jacksonville,

2872
02:19:44,480 --> 02:19:46,000
Speaker 17: perfect weather and everything.

2873
02:19:46,520 --> 02:19:47,040
Speaker 10: And he hit it.

2874
02:19:47,400 --> 02:19:49,440
Speaker 4: They hit him with the Kyle Bosh too, talking about

2875
02:19:49,440 --> 02:19:52,560
Speaker 4: he hits bombs. They're already in his field goal range

2876
02:19:52,600 --> 02:19:55,360
Speaker 4: at the twenty. The announcer Jenkses have been incredible, And

2877
02:19:55,520 --> 02:19:57,640
Speaker 4: you know, you think about turnovers tonight.

2878
02:19:57,640 --> 02:20:00,320
Speaker 17: Matt Williamson turned me onto this kind of perspect on

2879
02:20:00,440 --> 02:20:03,680
Speaker 17: turnovers a couple couple of years ago, and I'm really

2880
02:20:03,800 --> 02:20:07,280
Speaker 17: sold on it. Turnovers are fumbles and interceptions. That's what

2881
02:20:07,360 --> 02:20:11,840
Speaker 17: they calculate takeaway, giveaway on You got to count miss

2882
02:20:11,920 --> 02:20:15,720
Speaker 17: field goals that's a turnover. You got to count failed

2883
02:20:15,800 --> 02:20:19,080
Speaker 17: fourth downs that's a turnover. And you got to count

2884
02:20:19,120 --> 02:20:23,480
Speaker 17: block punts. So you know, just because you're plus one

2885
02:20:23,560 --> 02:20:25,840
Speaker 17: and fumbles and picks, if you miss two field goals

2886
02:20:25,840 --> 02:20:28,240
Speaker 17: and you get stuffed three times on fourth downs, you

2887
02:20:28,400 --> 02:20:33,480
Speaker 17: probably lost turnover, Houston is plus seventeen. That's behind only

2888
02:20:33,560 --> 02:20:37,400
Speaker 17: Chicago at plus twenty two. Pittsburgh is fourth at plus twelve.

2889
02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:41,400
Speaker 17: Texans have generated twenty nine takeaways, the Steelers have generated

2890
02:20:41,760 --> 02:20:45,440
Speaker 17: twenty seven. Texans have turned it over twelve times. Steelers

2891
02:20:45,480 --> 02:20:47,520
Speaker 17: have turned it over fifteen times. Now, that's in the

2892
02:20:47,640 --> 02:20:51,680
Speaker 17: traditional math. I didn't factor in fourth downs and all

2893
02:20:51,680 --> 02:20:55,120
Speaker 17: that other stuff, but that stuff matters. But the point is,

2894
02:20:56,000 --> 02:20:58,000
Speaker 17: if you're going into this game thinking, no, I'll take

2895
02:20:58,000 --> 02:21:00,160
Speaker 17: it away two or three times, finish plus two and

2896
02:21:00,520 --> 02:21:01,840
Speaker 17: win it that way, maybe not.

2897
02:21:02,680 --> 02:21:02,720
Speaker 21: So.

2898
02:21:02,959 --> 02:21:07,240
Speaker 17: Two really good kickers are gonna be on display tonight.

2899
02:21:07,280 --> 02:21:10,880
Speaker 17: One of them is slumping or struggling or whatever you

2900
02:21:10,920 --> 02:21:12,760
Speaker 17: want to call it. That he doesn't look like himself

2901
02:21:13,520 --> 02:21:17,040
Speaker 17: to me. The Steelers have to trust him tonight. He's

2902
02:21:17,120 --> 02:21:18,560
Speaker 17: luck Yeah, I would.

2903
02:21:18,400 --> 02:21:20,320
Speaker 5: Not trust the pass protection.

2904
02:21:22,360 --> 02:21:22,480
Speaker 6: You know.

2905
02:21:22,520 --> 02:21:26,240
Speaker 17: If it's third Nate, I'm dumping it down and seeing

2906
02:21:26,240 --> 02:21:28,320
Speaker 17: if a back and make something happen in a flat

2907
02:21:28,680 --> 02:21:31,360
Speaker 17: and punting if I have to. They're gonna have to

2908
02:21:31,440 --> 02:21:33,360
Speaker 17: take some deep shots. They're gonna have to hit one,

2909
02:21:34,080 --> 02:21:36,879
Speaker 17: maybe more than one. But they can't live and die

2910
02:21:36,959 --> 02:21:40,360
Speaker 17: on that stuff like they have to acknowledge the Texans

2911
02:21:40,400 --> 02:21:42,920
Speaker 17: pass rush is part of their game plan and work

2912
02:21:43,000 --> 02:21:45,240
Speaker 17: around it, not to oh yeah, well we'll chip them

2913
02:21:45,280 --> 02:21:49,280
Speaker 17: and Dylan Coo will hold up. That's dangerous to me.

2914
02:21:50,080 --> 02:21:55,480
Speaker 4: I like the idea of Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers

2915
02:21:56,560 --> 02:22:02,040
Speaker 4: putting their heads together to get past the defensive threat

2916
02:22:02,760 --> 02:22:07,320
Speaker 4: of Houston more than I like Tamiko and his offensive

2917
02:22:07,360 --> 02:22:11,600
Speaker 4: coordinator and CJ. Stroud being able to figure out how

2918
02:22:11,800 --> 02:22:17,720
Speaker 4: easily you know, to to manipulate the Steelers ever evolving defense.

2919
02:22:17,959 --> 02:22:20,359
Speaker 17: And even if they do figure it out to a degree,

2920
02:22:21,800 --> 02:22:24,119
Speaker 17: Alex high Smith and the Steelers think they have edge

2921
02:22:24,200 --> 02:22:26,560
Speaker 17: pressure that is capable of wrecking the game. In fact,

2922
02:22:26,800 --> 02:22:27,600
Speaker 17: they're counting on it.

2923
02:22:29,320 --> 02:22:31,320
Speaker 31: You know, it's just emphasizing know that we got to

2924
02:22:31,360 --> 02:22:33,000
Speaker 31: be the best edge group in the stadium this weekend.

2925
02:22:34,760 --> 02:22:38,240
Speaker 5: It's been emphasized so they know how to get to CJ.

2926
02:22:38,400 --> 02:22:39,000
Speaker 5: Stroud right.

2927
02:22:39,440 --> 02:22:43,080
Speaker 17: They've also got home field advantage and that can also

2928
02:22:43,200 --> 02:22:45,760
Speaker 17: help tip things into Steelers favor.

2929
02:22:47,200 --> 02:22:48,240
Speaker 5: It's gonna be awesome, you know.

2930
02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:50,320
Speaker 10: I think TJ talked about it.

2931
02:22:50,320 --> 02:22:51,360
Speaker 31: I think that was a lot of us I've heard

2932
02:22:51,400 --> 02:22:53,760
Speaker 31: in Steering Nation at home since and since I've been here,

2933
02:22:53,800 --> 02:22:55,920
Speaker 31: and the atmosphere is crazy. So I know it's gonna

2934
02:22:55,920 --> 02:22:57,720
Speaker 31: be crazy again come Monday night, and we're gonna need it.

2935
02:22:58,160 --> 02:23:00,240
Speaker 31: It's a big game, so I know still she's going

2936
02:23:00,320 --> 02:23:00,680
Speaker 31: to show out.

2937
02:23:01,400 --> 02:23:02,240
Speaker 5: They are going to need it.

2938
02:23:02,280 --> 02:23:04,240
Speaker 17: And I thought Charlie Basher made great points on our

2939
02:23:04,280 --> 02:23:05,840
Speaker 17: show today. The crowd is going to have to be

2940
02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:08,240
Speaker 17: patient and the crowd is going to have to stay

2941
02:23:08,280 --> 02:23:13,280
Speaker 17: in it. I mean they went, They went from fire

2942
02:23:13,400 --> 02:23:18,520
Speaker 17: Tomlin to one of the loudest crowds that a lot

2943
02:23:18,560 --> 02:23:22,360
Speaker 17: of those guys say they've ever heard at Hinesfield Slash Actor. Sure, yeah,

2944
02:23:23,040 --> 02:23:24,560
Speaker 17: they need they need the ladder tonight.

2945
02:23:25,920 --> 02:23:30,360
Speaker 4: Stealer fans, get down there early, get your terrible towels

2946
02:23:30,520 --> 02:23:35,160
Speaker 4: ready to roll. I still think Renegade, they should probably

2947
02:23:35,240 --> 02:23:36,560
Speaker 4: do it in the first half. I feel like you

2948
02:23:36,600 --> 02:23:38,880
Speaker 4: need to do it in the first half. Take away

2949
02:23:38,920 --> 02:23:40,600
Speaker 4: all the controversy.

2950
02:23:41,120 --> 02:23:41,600
Speaker 6: Of this idea.

2951
02:23:41,760 --> 02:23:43,480
Speaker 4: We should just play it on loop while we're on

2952
02:23:43,560 --> 02:23:47,840
Speaker 4: defense the whole time, as soon as like it's down

2953
02:23:47,959 --> 02:23:51,800
Speaker 4: and he's like mom every single time, I'm I'm in.

2954
02:23:52,200 --> 02:23:54,760
Speaker 4: That might be a better idea. You might have seen

2955
02:23:54,879 --> 02:24:02,480
Speaker 4: the post game yesterday in Jacksonville where Liam Cohen coach

2956
02:24:02,600 --> 02:24:07,320
Speaker 4: of the Jacksonville Jaguars, was asked by well, it wasn't

2957
02:24:07,360 --> 02:24:11,080
Speaker 4: even asked. He was basically just given a pep talk

2958
02:24:11,640 --> 02:24:15,520
Speaker 4: by a member of the Jacksonville media corps and Mike,

2959
02:24:15,959 --> 02:24:18,560
Speaker 4: I want you to give a listen to this. Apparently

2960
02:24:19,440 --> 02:24:26,800
Speaker 4: this woman is like venerables newscaster in Jacksonville, the Jacksonville

2961
02:24:26,840 --> 02:24:27,440
Speaker 4: Sally Wigan.

2962
02:24:27,560 --> 02:24:31,360
Speaker 36: Yes, you congratulations on your success, young man. You hold

2963
02:24:31,400 --> 02:24:33,000
Speaker 36: your head up, all right. You guys have had a

2964
02:24:33,120 --> 02:24:36,400
Speaker 36: most magnificent season. He did a great job out there today.

2965
02:24:36,600 --> 02:24:38,920
Speaker 36: So you just hold your head up, okay. And ladies

2966
02:24:38,959 --> 02:24:41,200
Speaker 36: and gentlemen, duvall you don't want all right?

2967
02:24:41,320 --> 02:24:41,920
Speaker 4: You keep it going.

2968
02:24:41,959 --> 02:24:43,200
Speaker 9: We got another season, okay.

2969
02:24:43,200 --> 02:24:45,320
Speaker 36: I appreciate take care of much continued success to you

2970
02:24:45,480 --> 02:24:46,320
Speaker 36: and the entire team.

2971
02:24:46,520 --> 02:24:46,760
Speaker 6: Thank you.

2972
02:24:47,200 --> 02:24:51,880
Speaker 4: Okay. Now, there are two schools of thought on there.

2973
02:24:52,080 --> 02:24:57,160
Speaker 4: There are people who love that that happened after the game. However,

2974
02:24:57,920 --> 02:25:00,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you

2975
02:25:01,160 --> 02:25:02,520
Speaker 4: are not one of those people.

2976
02:25:04,200 --> 02:25:05,800
Speaker 5: How can I describe what I just heard?

2977
02:25:07,200 --> 02:25:12,040
Speaker 17: Disgusting, self serving, unprofessional, unacceptable.

2978
02:25:12,959 --> 02:25:14,920
Speaker 4: You're not gonna do this tonight with coach team.

2979
02:25:16,280 --> 02:25:19,199
Speaker 17: And here's the funny part. About that, like he doesn't

2980
02:25:19,280 --> 02:25:22,720
Speaker 17: care what she thinks. You know, that's not doing him.

2981
02:25:23,040 --> 02:25:26,200
Speaker 17: Oh we just lost the playoff game in gut wrenching fashion,

2982
02:25:26,560 --> 02:25:29,080
Speaker 17: but the news person thinks I did. Okay, so I

2983
02:25:29,120 --> 02:25:33,440
Speaker 17: guess it's all right, Like it serves nothing and she

2984
02:25:33,600 --> 02:25:36,840
Speaker 17: was probably just trying to be nice. Yeah, but it

2985
02:25:36,920 --> 02:25:39,520
Speaker 17: comes off it's like, oh yeah, just you know, pander

2986
02:25:39,600 --> 02:25:43,320
Speaker 17: to the fans and and try to promote yourself and

2987
02:25:43,400 --> 02:25:44,440
Speaker 17: it's not the time or play.

2988
02:25:44,480 --> 02:25:45,320
Speaker 4: It's unacceptable.

2989
02:25:45,360 --> 02:25:46,760
Speaker 5: It's a professional environment.

2990
02:25:46,879 --> 02:25:50,600
Speaker 17: Yeah, the postgame news conferences to ask serious questions from

2991
02:25:50,680 --> 02:25:53,000
Speaker 17: serious people. And I get that there are a lot

2992
02:25:53,120 --> 02:25:57,120
Speaker 17: of people asking questions that don't qualify nowadays. But I

2993
02:25:57,240 --> 02:25:59,240
Speaker 17: really think the teams need to do something about this

2994
02:25:59,360 --> 02:26:02,360
Speaker 17: more than anybody else. Just when the news person applies

2995
02:26:02,400 --> 02:26:03,720
Speaker 17: for credential, say.

2996
02:26:03,720 --> 02:26:07,480
Speaker 4: No, yeah, no, you don't watch it on TV, you

2997
02:26:07,680 --> 02:26:10,600
Speaker 4: don't cover sports, this is sports.

2998
02:26:12,640 --> 02:26:13,640
Speaker 5: That seems simple enough.

2999
02:26:13,800 --> 02:26:15,760
Speaker 4: But I thought initially when I heard that that it

3000
02:26:15,840 --> 02:26:19,040
Speaker 4: was some sort of like fan blogger that they let in.

3001
02:26:19,160 --> 02:26:22,320
Speaker 4: Because that's what I'm saying is that that they have,

3002
02:26:23,080 --> 02:26:25,720
Speaker 4: you know, opened up the gates a little bit for

3003
02:26:25,840 --> 02:26:26,680
Speaker 4: alternate media.

3004
02:26:27,760 --> 02:26:30,520
Speaker 5: But she's traditional. She's been around for a long time.

3005
02:26:30,680 --> 02:26:31,440
Speaker 5: That's just pathetic.

3006
02:26:31,640 --> 02:26:35,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, would it help if like a mean dad energy

3007
02:26:35,320 --> 02:26:37,280
Speaker 7: came after that, where he's like, no, you should be

3008
02:26:37,400 --> 02:26:39,520
Speaker 7: humiliated with yourself. You're never going to be as good

3009
02:26:39,520 --> 02:26:40,240
Speaker 7: as your older brother.

3010
02:26:40,400 --> 02:26:46,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, your columns for right, Yeah, that's what your commentaries

3011
02:26:46,240 --> 02:26:46,840
Speaker 17: for sure.

3012
02:26:47,760 --> 02:26:51,080
Speaker 4: Just that just makes me sick to my stomach. Yeah,

3013
02:26:51,640 --> 02:26:52,600
Speaker 4: this is where we're going.

3014
02:26:52,720 --> 02:26:56,119
Speaker 17: This is why people don't trust the media or get

3015
02:26:56,160 --> 02:26:58,680
Speaker 17: informed by the media because the media has fallen apart,

3016
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:02,720
Speaker 17: because the media has started pandering to the public because

3017
02:27:02,760 --> 02:27:05,640
Speaker 17: it's had to because the public has way too many options.

3018
02:27:05,760 --> 02:27:09,119
Speaker 4: But the traditional media doing its job traditionally well, because

3019
02:27:09,160 --> 02:27:12,600
Speaker 4: once once news became for profit, it stopped being about

3020
02:27:12,680 --> 02:27:17,039
Speaker 4: the news, and that's why people get cad Okay, it's okay, coach,

3021
02:27:17,080 --> 02:27:18,920
Speaker 4: And I'm not even trying to I'm not getting political.

3022
02:27:18,959 --> 02:27:23,080
Speaker 4: I'm talking just solely about sports. When people hear news

3023
02:27:23,160 --> 02:27:24,720
Speaker 4: about their sports team.

3024
02:27:24,879 --> 02:27:27,400
Speaker 5: Sports a very small part of that. It's fun in games,

3025
02:27:27,480 --> 02:27:30,080
Speaker 5: but in the larger the concept is the same.

3026
02:27:30,200 --> 02:27:33,560
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, no, it's on a microcosm of the

3027
02:27:33,680 --> 02:27:34,320
Speaker 4: larger problem.

3028
02:27:34,520 --> 02:27:38,959
Speaker 5: Nobody's there to tell him it's okay. Yeah, a different

3029
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:42,000
Speaker 5: coach might have told her to stop talking. I told Mike,

3030
02:27:42,040 --> 02:27:43,280
Speaker 5: I'm surprising you to go hey.

3031
02:27:43,720 --> 02:27:45,920
Speaker 4: Like if that was Tomlin, he'd be like, I appreciate

3032
02:27:45,959 --> 02:27:48,280
Speaker 4: your sentiments, but that's not I don't see comfort, and

3033
02:27:48,360 --> 02:27:50,320
Speaker 4: he would have turned it around and started yelling at it.

3034
02:27:52,320 --> 02:27:54,440
Speaker 4: That being said, I wish that woman would follow me

3035
02:27:54,520 --> 02:27:56,520
Speaker 4: around and say nice things like that to me. When

3036
02:27:56,560 --> 02:27:58,840
Speaker 4: we were listening to it, I started feeling good about myself,

3037
02:27:59,040 --> 02:28:01,280
Speaker 4: Like everything that's went in the last couple of weeks,

3038
02:28:01,400 --> 02:28:04,520
Speaker 4: I was like, I should keep my head up that

3039
02:28:05,080 --> 02:28:05,920
Speaker 4: things are so bad.

3040
02:28:06,400 --> 02:28:10,240
Speaker 5: Steelers and the Tech, Yeah, it's messed up wrong. I agree.

3041

02:29:15,440 --> 02:29:19,039
Speaker 4: that because you got a deal on it? Then he went, uh, huh,

02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:38,920
Speaker 4: cards for it, and I'm like, you traded out jaw surgery.

3069
02:29:40,240 --> 02:29:42,440
Speaker 4: When I and I just started laughing. I called, you know,

Speaker 4: that's our dad. My dad traded carpet for my braces.

3073
02:29:52,840 --> 02:29:58,000
Speaker 4: My orthodonist put my braces on in exchange for some

3074
02:29:58,120 --> 02:29:59,840
Speaker 4: berber carpeting in his living room.

3075
02:30:00,840 --> 02:30:01,520
Speaker 5: How are your teeth?

3076

02:30:04,600 --> 02:30:06,800
Speaker 4: He moved him too quick, and I have blunted roots

3078
02:30:06,879 --> 02:30:11,879
Speaker 4: now and all my teeth. Not always the best way

3079
02:30:11,959 --> 02:30:14,160
Speaker 4: to do it, you know, when it comes to healthcare,

3080
02:30:15,200 --> 02:30:20,680
Speaker 4: like but not fruit, not for my family or the

Speaker 4: gonna fire out a guess like prices of the weirdest

3083
02:30:25,640 --> 02:30:26,320
Speaker 4: prices right.

3084
02:30:26,280 --> 02:30:30,360
Speaker 17: Episode ever, I up before kiss how much I picked

3085
02:30:30,879 --> 02:30:33,240
Speaker 17: an expert on your condition and jaw surgery.

3086
02:30:33,800 --> 02:30:36,280
Speaker 4: I gotta say at least eight thousands, Oh my god,

3087
02:30:36,600 --> 02:30:39,959
Speaker 4: one dollar driss, We're gonna litle bit this jaw surgery.

3088
02:30:40,440 --> 02:30:43,600
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Like I'd be like elevens. I don't

3089
02:30:43,680 --> 02:30:45,800
Speaker 4: know what jaw surgery costs. I don't know what jaw

3090
02:30:45,879 --> 02:30:46,600
Speaker 4: surgery you had.

3091
02:30:46,680 --> 02:30:49,320
Speaker 5: I would imagine there's several. He wanted you to overbid

3092
02:30:49,520 --> 02:30:50,000
Speaker 5: so hard.

3093
02:30:50,200 --> 02:30:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're like half that, Yeah, Like I was gonna

3094
02:30:52,959 --> 02:30:55,520
Speaker 4: go ten thousand, fifteen thousand, and then he was like

3095
02:30:55,879 --> 02:30:57,080
Speaker 4: five hundred bucks.

3096
02:31:00,040 --> 02:31:00,160
Speaker 6: Yea.

3097
02:31:00,160 --> 02:31:01,640
Speaker 4: And then I went behind a strip mall and got

3098
02:31:01,720 --> 02:31:04,200
Speaker 4: some fix a flat to uh you know, injected right

3099
02:31:04,280 --> 02:31:10,840
Speaker 4: into my ass and uh yeah, spend on that exactly.

3100
02:31:10,959 --> 02:31:13,680
Speaker 4: Remember those people who were getting butt implants with the

3101
02:31:13,720 --> 02:31:16,320
Speaker 4: fix a flat behind a strip mall? Yeah, and uh

3102
02:31:16,760 --> 02:31:20,920
Speaker 4: they were dying. You can't do that because you want

3103
02:31:20,920 --> 02:31:23,040
Speaker 4: to fast forward to the end when it comes to

3104
02:31:23,400 --> 02:31:28,200
Speaker 4: any kind of surgery, oral or otherwise. Splurch, go ahead

3105
02:31:28,200 --> 02:31:31,240
Speaker 4: and splurch. I mean, fix a flat is not cheap either,

3106
02:31:31,959 --> 02:31:35,400
Speaker 4: makes a good point. Yeah, Steelers and the Houston Texans

3107
02:31:35,600 --> 02:31:39,520
Speaker 4: tonight that eight to fifteen kickoff, Rob King, Max Starks,

3108
02:31:39,520 --> 02:31:40,400
Speaker 4: and Missy Matthews.

3109
02:31:40,720 --> 02:31:42,320
Speaker 5: And here with the preamble to kickoff.

3110
02:31:42,360 --> 02:31:45,240
Speaker 4: Your host for the Steelers Audio Network pregame show, which

3111
02:31:45,280 --> 02:31:49,000
Speaker 4: starts at six fifteen tonight, it's our own Mike Persuda.

3112
02:31:55,040 --> 02:31:55,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

3113
02:31:59,080 --> 02:32:01,080
Speaker 17: The Steelers are back on the North Shore in the

3114
02:32:01,120 --> 02:32:04,080
Speaker 17: postseason for the first time since twenty twenty. But they

3115
02:32:04,120 --> 02:32:07,240
Speaker 17: won't be returning home alone. There will also be an

3116
02:32:07,280 --> 02:32:09,800
Speaker 17: elephant in the room when they host Houston. Call it

3117
02:32:09,879 --> 02:32:13,039
Speaker 17: the Pacoderman actor. Sure that would be the Steelers' lack

3118
02:32:13,120 --> 02:32:17,200
Speaker 17: of a playoff victory since January the fifteenth, twenty seventeen.

3119
02:32:17,720 --> 02:32:20,840
Speaker 17: Their zero for six effort in the postseason since is

3120
02:32:20,959 --> 02:32:24,120
Speaker 17: tied for the longest active run of playoff utility in

3121
02:32:24,240 --> 02:32:27,560
Speaker 17: the league and for the fourth longest such stretch in

3122
02:32:27,800 --> 02:32:31,680
Speaker 17: NFL history. And rest assured, the elephant isn't the only.

3123
02:32:31,600 --> 02:32:32,920
Speaker 5: One who hasn't forgotten.

3124
02:32:33,520 --> 02:32:36,960
Speaker 17: A vocal portion of the fan base remains skeptical at best.

3125
02:32:37,280 --> 02:32:40,640
Speaker 17: Media reminders have been relentless, and in Vegas, the Steelers

3126
02:32:40,680 --> 02:32:43,480
Speaker 17: are home underdogs. But as the great Doc Emrick used

3127
02:32:43,480 --> 02:32:47,640
Speaker 17: to emphasize during hockey broadcast, it's history, not prophecy.

3128
02:32:48,280 --> 02:32:50,199
Speaker 5: In this case, it's ancient history.

3129
02:32:50,760 --> 02:32:53,840
Speaker 4: We know this time the Steelers won't lose Le'Veon Bell.

3130
02:32:53,879 --> 02:32:56,720
Speaker 17: After just six carries against the Patriots with the Super

3131
02:32:56,760 --> 02:32:59,640
Speaker 17: Bowl at stake. We know Ben Roethlisberger won't combine the

3132
02:32:59,680 --> 02:33:02,600
Speaker 17: throw five interceptions, lose a fumble that gets returned for

3133
02:33:02,640 --> 02:33:05,920
Speaker 17: a touchdown, and watch a Marquis Posey snap get airmailed

3134
02:33:06,160 --> 02:33:08,400
Speaker 17: into the end zone for you get another defensive TV

3135
02:33:08,920 --> 02:33:12,040
Speaker 17: as was the case in games against Jacksonville and Cleveland.

3136
02:33:12,560 --> 02:33:15,760
Speaker 17: We know they aren't facing Patrick Mahomes at his apex

3137
02:33:15,800 --> 02:33:19,080
Speaker 17: in Kansas City. We know they won't start Mason Rudolph

3138
02:33:19,280 --> 02:33:22,240
Speaker 17: and lack TJ. Watt in Buffalo, and we know they're

3139
02:33:22,280 --> 02:33:25,640
Speaker 17: on a late season roll, not limping into Baltimore.

3140
02:33:26,120 --> 02:33:27,680
Speaker 4: Are you ready for some football?

3141
02:33:27,959 --> 02:33:28,199
Speaker 14: Yeah?

3142
02:33:29,320 --> 02:33:32,400
Speaker 17: The biggest difference between then and now is Aaron Rodgers.

3143
02:33:32,600 --> 02:33:34,600
Speaker 17: And if you can't get excited about what that guy

3144
02:33:34,840 --> 02:33:37,840
Speaker 17: could potentially accomplish from Mike Tomlin, you might be in

3145
02:33:37,920 --> 02:33:38,920
Speaker 17: the wrong ballpark.

3146
02:33:39,240 --> 02:33:41,039
Speaker 4: There are no guarantees in the playoffs.

3147
02:33:41,120 --> 02:33:41,600
Speaker 10: You never know.

3148
02:33:42,040 --> 02:33:45,120
Speaker 17: And that also applies to Houston having never won a

3149
02:33:45,280 --> 02:33:49,520
Speaker 17: postseason game on the road. Given that particular derivative of

3150
02:33:49,760 --> 02:33:53,880
Speaker 17: anything but hidden zero for six vigorish, something has to give.

3151
02:33:54,480 --> 02:33:58,280
Speaker 17: Understand this much prior to kickoff, whatever does eventually isn't

3152
02:33:58,400 --> 02:34:02,879
Speaker 17: analytically predetermined, and that makes tonight's matchup as unpredictable as

3153
02:34:02,920 --> 02:34:03,800
Speaker 17: it is compelling.

3154
02:34:04,200 --> 02:34:06,680
Speaker 5: So don't stop believing, not yet. At least the.

3155
02:34:06,680 --> 02:34:10,800
Speaker 17: Alternative repeater incorrectly interpret history as prophecy.

3156
02:34:11,080 --> 02:34:13,840
Speaker 4: And if you do that, you just might miss one

3157
02:34:13,959 --> 02:34:19,680
Speaker 4: hell of a postseason for Yeah, Steelers, Taxings tonight a fifteen.

3158
02:34:20,640 --> 02:34:23,120
Speaker 4: Here we go Steelers.
