Speaker 6: Abby's got your news to start things off here this

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 6: morning on DV news.

76
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: This hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store,

77
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: Sunshine with a few clouds and I of fifty three today.

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: If you have any pennies buried in your couch, under

79
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 3: the mess, inside your car, or in a bucket in

80
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: your garage, you should hold on to them.

81
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: They are a part of history.

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: Now.

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: Back in February, President Trump directed the Treasury Department to

84
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: stop producing new pennies, and that has now happened. Yesterday,

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: the last ever US penny was minted in Philadelphia. The

86
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: US Mint in Philadelphia has been making pennies since seventeen

87
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: ninety three, when they were made of one hundred percent copper.

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: Since eighteen ninety two, pennies have been made of copper

89
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: plated zinc, which is ninety seven point five percent zinc

90
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: and just two point five percent copper. According to the

91
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: US Mint, each penny actually cost three point seven cents

92
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: to make.

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: So they're losing money.

94
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: They're losing money on this deal.

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 3: So billions of pennies are still in circulation and will

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: remain legal tender, but new ones will no longer be made.

97
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 6: But is my penny is still only worth a penny.

98
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 6: It's not worth three point seven cents. It's just that's

99
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 6: what it made, that's what it costs to make it.

100
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: Correct, although at one point Giann Eagle was giving us

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: a little more extra.

102
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: We were giving you two cents.

103
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, because businesses are feeling the shortage, and especially you know,

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: they were like rounding up on certain transactions because otherwise

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: you needed to have exact change, and it was becoming

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: a huge pen in the ass.

107
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

108
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 6: I kind of have viewed pennies as an annoyance for

109
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 6: a long time now, oh forever. Yeah, but pre digital age.

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 6: I mean I don't even have a dollar bill on

111
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 6: me anymore. Like I never have cash, never.

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: Almost never.

113
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: Although I've said this before, I'm in a code of

114
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: pen relationship with my daughter and she's taught me that

115
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: I have to have cash because it is warm out.

116
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: There is an ice cream man that comes to the

117
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: street on Tuesdays at five thirty, and he's in a

118
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: conependent relationship with my daughter and he parks in front

119
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,640

00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: and waits for her to come out.

121
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 6: But is it's not just her right, because that would

Speaker 6: be greaty Well.

00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 6: Well, but she wasn't one making. And that was the

162
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 6: other thing is she was just kind of like doing

163
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 6: the money. It was like clearly the other guy's venture.

164
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 6: By the way, the pizza was amazing.

165
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 8: She's just pocket venmowing every pizza. She was just like working.

166
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 8: No customers today, what we're sold out a dough? What

167
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 8: do you mean no customers?

168
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that part of it's weird, and the whole

169
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 6: interaction between so it Abbey knows this. When you sell

170
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: merch and you're squaring things off to sell merch, and

171
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 6: then it goes to Square and then Square has to

172
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 6: send it to your bank. Like, I feel like my

173
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 6: bank account has way too many things that are hitting

174
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 6: it right now.

175
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't like the vulnerability of that, you know what

176
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

177
00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 6: Between PayPal, Rubhub, fan Duel, Yeah, all of that.

178
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 8: There's a lot of like Square lizard lizard.

179
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: Tongues coming into your account.

180
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 6: But even like the Spotify money and all of that stuff,

181
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 6: everything that gets kicked down to you, it's like, I mean,

182
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 6: that's pennies, but still, like it's just weird how much

183
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 6: access through us to the bank account.

184
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: And I keep feeling like that's unsustainable. I don't know,

185
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: it does feel like a bad idea.

186
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: Your situation, especially when you bring up like merch and

187
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: band stuff too, is because you are your artist's name.

188
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 6: Yes, I don't have a separate I don't have an

189
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 6: LLC or something out which I really probably should, but yeah, and.

190
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: Then you start seeing those videos online, whether they like.

191
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 8: What you have to do is you have to create

192
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 8: an LLC, Then you create another LLC, you funnel it

193
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 8: through that LLC, and then you pay no taxes and

194
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 8: you make millions of dollars and you're like.

195
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, you're you're you're leaving out steps.

196
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 6: And then you look at all the comments and they're like,

197
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 6: that is blatant tax fraudect. Yeah, you go to jail

198
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 6: for stuff like that, and it's just a dude on

199
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 6: the internet going and I'm living my best life ever.

200
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

201
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 6: I Meanwhile, they are literally suggesting tax fraud to you.

202
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 8: Well, there's this thing now because I'm filling out the

203
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 8: FAFSTA and we're doing all this stuff for Kennedy's college

204
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 8: and there's these new laws and rules and regulations where

205
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 8: they're looking into her financial life, which she doesn't really

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 8: have one. But the way in which they used to

207
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 8: do it is the parents used to put everything in

208
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 8: their kids' names so they don't have to declare any

209
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 8: of their assets, so that they would get more money

210
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 8: from the school, more help. And so now they're like, no, no, no,

211
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 8: we're looking at everything. We're going all the way in

212
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 8: on all financials and you can't there's no like, I'm

213
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 8: sure that there's a new trick now, but only rich

214
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 8: people know about it.

215
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

216
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 6: When I was going to college, in order to qualify

217
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 6: for more financial aid, we had to go through the

218
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 6: parent that had the worst year.

219
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: Basically really yeah, so.

220
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: It would be like, uh, you know, my dad would

221
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 6: be like, go through your mom this year.

222
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: You know, you're I'm.

223
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 8: Gonna do all that all over again, all right, See

224
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 8: I thought, okay, so they've changed, like, okay, go through

225
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 8: your dad this year. Like see they changed that now,

226
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 8: like it is whoever's doing better, that's who you have

227
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 8: to go through.

228
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: Oh really okay, Well I remember.

229
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 8: Because again they're they're they're not trying to hook you up.

230
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 8: If you come from a divorced family and one person

231
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 8: makes more than the other person, the person that makes

232
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 8: more is how they assess you.

233
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: You know, we don't.

234
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 6: We totally went through the parent who was doing worse

235
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 6: when I was in college, and I remember that wasn't

236
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 6: for the pelgrant. That was for something else. I don't know.

237
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 6: Maybe it was for pelgrant. I don't remember. We were

238
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 6: talking about that yesterday.

239
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: I don't understand any.

240
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 6: I know well that I just back then it was

241
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 6: so much more of a low stakes game if you

242
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 6: stayed in state mm hmm. And because I was going

243
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 6: to transferred from when I started at IEP, and I.

244
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: Just like I don't want to play football anmore. I

245
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: don't want to do any of this crap.

246
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 6: And I was going to Maryland and then I got

247
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 6: the bill. It was forty g's. I'm like, do I

248
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 6: really want to spend forty g's a year to go

249
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 6: out of state? To go because I convinced two of

250
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 6: my best friends to go there. I love that school.

251
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 6: I love the whole idea of me. I loved it there.

252
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 6: I loved everything about it. And then I was like,

253
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 6: I can't afford it. I have to go to Penn State.

254
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 6: Because I was already in at Penn State. So I'm

255
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 6: like all right, And then I transferred over to Penn State.

256
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 6: And the money that that saved me coming out of college,

257
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 6: I ended up with I believe sixteen thousand total total

258
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 6: that compounded because I couldn't pay my student loans until

259
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 6: I got the job at DVE. I mean, there was

260
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 6: just collectors calling my house all the time, and I'd

261
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 6: be like, good luck.

262
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 4: They are relentless, blood from a stone.

263
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Oh. I left them messages all the time.

264
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 6: Hey, the money is in the park under a tree,

265
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 6: Go get it, dude.

266
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 8: Sally May used to hit up everybody of my family,

267
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 8: like my employer like they were calling everybody.

268
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: Like Clodrow trying to get to twenty five.

269
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, guys, I'm a dead beat.

270
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 8: Like you took a gamble on Bill Crawford and you lost,

271
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 8: Like why you hit me?

272
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: That's stop bothering my cousins. My uncle wasn't going to

273
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: give it to you.

274
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: They were going that far, a.

275
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 8: Dude, they were going some like I was getting text

276
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 8: messages randomly from people that I don't talk to, being like, hey,

277
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 8: Sally May was hitting me up today.

278
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh damn, there's Yeah.

279
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 6: That was a It was a feeling of like, one day,

280
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 6: I'll pay it off. By the time I got to

281
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 6: paying it off, it had compounded quite a bit from

282
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 6: that sixteen thousand.

283
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 8: Uh you know it was then they put you on

284
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 8: a payment plan that you can finish off when you're eighty.

285
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

286
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 6: I ended up, you know, because I had gainful employment

287
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 6: then and I can you know, it was probably double

288
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 6: the sixteen right, and then it took me like a

289
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 6: couple of years to pay it off once I started

290
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 6: working here, because I was like, oh, I have a

291
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 6: job now, this is weird. And I was still living

292
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 6: like an idiot in a you know, three hundred and

293
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 6: fifty dollars apartment on Mount Washington, But.

294
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: That followed me forever. My credit was.

295
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 6: Garbage, garbage, just and it just didn't make any sense.

296
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 6: And it's only gotten way worse. Oh, it's gotten so

297
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 6: much worse because they were for a while. I don't

298
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 6: know how it is now, but they were playing every

299
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 6: hand at the table. So Sally May was the boosted lender. Like,

300
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: they're lending you the money, right, they're government backed, so

301
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 6: if you don't pay, they still get paid. And they

302
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 6: were the collectors, so if you go into default, they

303
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 6: make more money. So there's no incentive at all.

304
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 8: There's no risk reward for them, Like they're giving away money.

305
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 8: They're giving you everything you want because if you don't pay,

306
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 8: they make more money.

307
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 6: I remember at one point I had a Discover card

308
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 6: at Penn State and I bought an acoustic guitar on

309
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 6: it so that I could like do gigs and stuff

310
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 6: around town. And I did, and like, I got a

311
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 6: bunch of gigs, and then I was like, I don't.

312
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: Have any money to pay off any of this.

313
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 6: There was a bunch of mcl a hand subs Irving's

314
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 6: bagels and a guitar on this credit card and I'm like,

315
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 6: I don't remember how much it ended up being. Maybe

316
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: it was like fifteen hundred dollars and I'm like, I

317
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 6: just I can't pay it. I'm just not paying it,

318
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 6: and they came after me forever and I'm like not

319
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 6: paying it. Same thing as the student loans got to

320
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 6: the point where I didn't have the money.

321
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't like I was just intensely being debt. I

322
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: literally didn't have the money.

323
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 6: And then once I did have the money, I'm like,

324
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 6: when does this actually go off my record?

325
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: Right?

326
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 6: And my brother in law is like ten years and

327
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 6: I'm like I'm getting pretty close to that ten years and.

328
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: He's like, you're gonna try to ride it out. I'm like,

329
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: I think I am, Think I am.

330
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 6: And they kept selling the people collection agencies and they'd

331
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 6: be like the fifteen hundred dollars went down to we

332
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 6: will settle it right now for seven hundred dollars, and

333
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 6: I was like, no taker, and then it was like it.

334
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: Kept going and going.

335
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 6: So then I'm like thirty three years old and there's

336
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 6: like the fifth collection agency has bought this debt from

337
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 6: whoever that it's wherever it started, and they're like, if

338
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 6: you don't settle this debt now for seventeen dollars eighty cents,

339
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 6: and I'm like.

340
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: Ah, I think I can get it under ten bucks.

341
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: Ten bucks.

342
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 6: And it was like I wouldn't obviously do that now,

343
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 6: but I was much more of a financial dirt bag

344
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: back then, and I'm like.

345
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 8: I don't care about a credit now.

346
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: But I ended up settling it for a very low amount.

347
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 6: I don't think it was under ten dollars, but it

348
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 6: was really low because I just thought it was hilarious

349
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 6: like that it had gotten to that point and I'm like,

350
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 6: twenty seven dollars, Okay.

351
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: You got it? Hell yeah, dude, who outlasted? Who?

352
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 6: Here?

353
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 4: My dad?

354
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 8: My dad brings this up to me all the time

355
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 8: when I'm like applying for these loans and I'm going

356
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 8: into crazy debt and I'm in school for writing and acting,

357
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 8: you know what I mean.

358
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm going to.

359
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 8: Pursue my passion, sure, and I'm telling him, like, Dad,

360
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 8: don't even worry about this. One Doctor Pepper commercial knocks

361
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 8: all this out.

362
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: I don't know why it was Doctor Pepper.

363
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 8: I think that was my beverage of choice at the time,

364
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 8: I'm like, yeah, one ad campaign and we're solid here.

365
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 8: He brings it up to me still to this day,

366
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 8: he's like, still haven't got that Doctor Pepper, Like I know,

367
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 8: but it's it's around the corner.

368
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 4: Well that's why I'm I'm leaving, going to pursue my life.

369
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: I knew it with Doctor Pepper.

370
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 6: Bill has finally got the big doctor Pepper commercial. We

371
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 6: didn't want to break that. Yeah, surprise. Anyways, Bill's a pepper,

372
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 6: I'm a pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a pepper?

373
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 6: Charge and pepper?

374
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 4: Dude.

375
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 6: I used to drink Doctor Pepper all the time as

376
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 6: a kid, and to me, the number one best possible

377
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 6: combination of anything you could drink was a Doctor Pepper

378
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 6: and barbecue Friedos. And if a bag of barbecue Friedos

379
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 6: and a Doctor Pepper right now, I would be burping

380
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 6: and farting for the rest of your life.

381
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: It would be like I'd wake up at night like.

382
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 8: Why, yeah, tell me why?

383
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: Like a cancer Like.

385
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: That's what its like?

386
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 6: That?

387
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: This is it?

388
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

389
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: I used to crush those with regularity.

390
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 8: Doctor Pepper was was my jam. Cherry Coke was my jam.

391
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 6: I had a minute with Cherry Coke Barks root Beer

394
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 8: Always had a Bark's case in the garage that was cold,

395
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 8: and it just was.

396
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: When was the last time you had a root beer float?

397
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know that I've ever had one.

00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 6: the bomb.

Speaker 6: My dad used to make them a lot, and so,

422
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 6: I mean I have vivid memories of eating those ice

423
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 6: cream guy huge every single night.

424
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 8: Heavenly Hash my dad too, heaven not Heavenly Hash. Maybe

425
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 8: Little Rocky Road maybe some neapolitan.

426
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 6: Heavenly Hash and Rocky Road were like cousins. You know,

427
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 6: I had a lot in common.

428
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 8: What was Heavenly Hash? Was it said marshmallow? I think pistachio. Okay,

429
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 8: so that's different. I think it was like.

430
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 2: Chocolate and chip and it was chocolate ice cream. Yeah,

431
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 2: so it's damn they are pretty close. But he would

432
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: cry if they.

433
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 8: Were competitors and they just like they had the same

434
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 8: idea and they were damn it, Heavenly Hash beat us

435
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 8: to market.

436
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 2: It was such a big bowl of ice cream that

437
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: he ate every night.

438
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 6: I mean it was huge, and he watched the news

439
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 6: and ate this huge bowl of ice cream every single night.

440
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 6: And he'd always brag about his cholesterol being low. Cut

441
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 6: to thirty years later, I'm sitting in the hospital with

442
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 6: him for you know, quadruple bypass.

443
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, but I'm going that cholestero. I'll be all

444
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 2: those ice cream. You know he's holding the cough pillow.

445
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: I was like, well, it was worth it though, right,

446
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: it was pretty good.

447
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 8: Did he have any craving because I know he had

448
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 8: huge cravings for.

449
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 6: Heavenly has no when he when he had to mention

450
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: he had no ice cream or sweets like cravings. It

451
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 6: was I think was the MSG in Dourdo's that got

452
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 6: him and he just devoured. He was obsessed with it,

453
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 6: and I'm obsessed with him. Like to match is not

454
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 6: fun at all. It's the absolute worst, and it's like

455
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 6: traumatic beyond belief and you have to laugh. The stuff

456
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 6: that was funny was so unbelievably funny to us that

457
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 6: we still talk about it and it like makes me

458
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 6: fall over laughing. But the amount of times I would

459
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 6: be talking to him in that and like when he's

460
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 6: in the dementia ward and he'd be like wearing sweatpants,

461
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 6: and he always remembered me because I was there a lot,

462
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 6: but like some of my other siblings, he might not remember,

463
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 6: so they would be kind of like shocked by the

464
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 6: stuff that I was kind of over it and I

465
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 6: was just laughing, and he'd be going, I'll tell you anything,

466
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: Randall and then like he would pull his hand up

467
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 6: and there would be a dorrito in it, but I

468
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 6: did I hadn't seen it. It was it was in

469
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 6: his sweatpants pocket. And he would point with the dorito

470
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 6: and he's like, and if that guy comes into my

471
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 6: room again, you know, And I'm like, where did the

472
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 6: dorito come from? And he's like sitting get the great

473
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 6: where there's just right bags. Believe me, he did the

474
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 6: great fly Dani every day, except it wasn't a bit.

475
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 6: That is the one thing about that dementia war is

476
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 6: everyone's walking around with their wieners hanging out and stuff.

477
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 6: They don't know what's going on. It's awful. So I

478
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 6: just did to make everyone feel comfortable.

479
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, my grandfather, you know, had had Alzheimer's and we

480
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 8: you know that. Like you said, it's just it's brutal

481
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 8: because the person that you love becomes a shadow of themselves, right.

482
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 8: And he was like this engineer, super smart guy, like

483
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 8: everything in his house was custom made by him.

484
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 4: And and then it just gets like.

485
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 8: Goofy, like he would get like he would like sometimes

486
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 8: he would like just take his shirt off in public

487
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 8: or something. And we were one time out to eat

488
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 8: at Paparazzi's in the South Side.

489
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 4: It's a real nice dinner.

490
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 8: Everybody is like sitting around like packed, and they bring

491
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 8: us all our salads and they bring us all like

492
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 8: the side of dressing. As soon as they sat down

493
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 8: the side of dressing, he shoots it like it's a shot.

494
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 4: We died.

495
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 8: I fell out of my chair laughing because the face

496
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 8: he made.

497
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: Afterwards like.

498
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 8: A shot of Italian dressing, just straight to the foch.

499
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 8: I was like, Oh my god, so I think we

500
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 8: all just did it, Like yeah, mice got a full

501
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 8: fortune portfolio when we come back here.

502
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: It's the perfect thing to obsess over.

509
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 9: Brought to you by Bridgeville Plange Steelers getting ready for

510
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 9: the Bengals. On Sunday and yesterday being Wednesday, Aaron Rodgers

511
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 9: did his weekly session with the media. The most recent

512
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 9: performance a Sunday night a stinker in Los Angeles doesn't

513
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 9: want any of the Steelers had in mind, particularly on offense.

514
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 9: But Rogers, as he did after the game Sunday night

515
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 9: in LA, emphasized yesterday the need not to overreact.

516
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 10: It's just consistency. If the process is right, you know,

517
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 10: you don't have to make any major changes of freak out.

518
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 10: It's you know, it's the nature of the league. There's

519
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 10: going to be, you know, a stinker every now and then.

520
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 10: You just got to bounce back, get back to the

521
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 10: things you do and get back at your routine and

522
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 10: try to be better than next week.

523
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: Don't freak got.

524
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: But why the stinkers in all the primetime games?

525
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 6: Aaron Florio's burying him right now for that, just saying

526
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 6: he doesn't even want.

527
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: And my point is he's always been like that.

528
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 6: When things went back, it just looks worse from a

529
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 6: gray hair dude in the year.

530
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: That's all.

531
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 9: Sunday Night looked like everybody thought it was going to

532
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 9: look like from day one. All the people that were

533
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 9: crushing why are they waiting on Aaron Rodgers, Why are

534
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 9: they interested in Aaron Rodgers?

535
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: Why do they think Aaron Rodgers can still play?

536
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 4: Yep?

537
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 9: That's what everybody thought it was going to look like

538
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 9: from day one. To me, that was a complete No.

539
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 9: I'm not saying it's not going to happen again, but

540
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 9: that was an outlier performance of the first nine. I

541
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 9: agree he was He's been really good, and he not

542
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 9: only was really bad against the Chargers, he looked like

543
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 9: a guy.

544
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: And if I had to pick.

545
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 9: One play, it would be that third down miss to

546
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 9: gain well before the fourth down miss to DK Metcalf

547
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 9: in the early in the fourth quarter, when they were

548
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 9: third and six from the ten yard line.

549
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 2: He was under pressure.

550
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 9: Gamewall was wide open in the flat and he ducked

551
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 9: and chucked. He looked like he just wanted to get

552
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 9: rid of it and not get hit.

553
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 8: There was pressure coming and he got rid of it

554
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 8: way too fast, and that went.

555
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 5: No.

556
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 9: You know, it's at least a first down, if not

557
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 9: a touchdown if he puts it on on game. Well, now,

558
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 9: that was not the only such pass in that game.

559
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 9: But as it turns out, Rogers Knight wasn't quite as

560
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 9: bad as initially perceived. After further review, that deep ball

561
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 9: missed in the first quarter DK Metcalf on the safety

562
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 9: that was on Metcalf, not Rogers.

563
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: Kick you kind of go through that deep ball in

564
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: the first quarter? Switches sall play on four?

565
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I saw Aaron.

566
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 8: Uh we had a corner and post and I saw

567
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 8: Aaron rolled out to the left, So kind of broke

568
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 8: my right a little flatter than I should have been.

569
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 4: Uh So I should have kept kept the row high.

570
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: Now, just as a decide.

571
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 9: That's how the process should work, Yes, sir, and tell

572
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 9: me what happened.

573
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's seven wear that Steelers.

574
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 4: That had to be refreshing for you.

575
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 9: But no, I gave him credit. He you know, we

576
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 9: were kicking this around yesterday. I don't know where the

577
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 9: disconnect was. Was the ball off and that's why he

578
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 9: changed his right. He clearly flattened it a little bit.

579
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 9: Was it because he couldn't pick the ball up?

580
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 4: Yeah?

581
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 9: Was the throw off target? Now, Rogers put the ball

582
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 9: where he wanted to put it. He should have kept

583
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 9: running on a diagonal straight line to the to the

584
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 9: end zone and it would have.

585
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 4: Been a touchdown, easy touchdown.

586
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: And you know, it's not the end of the world.

587
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: You know the world's going to keep spinning dk a minute.

588
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: He made a mistake. We all make them. We're all

589
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: big boys.

590
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 5: You know.

591
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 8: Other teams every single week that we've played have had drops, mistakes, And.

592
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 9: I think this is just part of the us. I

593
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 9: think people just want to know why didn't that work? Yeah,

594
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 9: just as they want to know why did something work?

595
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 9: Who should get a pat on the back for making

596
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 9: a good play at a critical time? This is kind

597
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 9: of what this whole process is about.

598
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 6: And do you think that the national media will take

599
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 6: that information into like absolve Rogers a little bit?

600
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: God?

601
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 9: No, everybody has their own agenda now, and you have

602
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 9: your take in your story, and you don't let the

603
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 9: facts get in the way.

604
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: That's how this is done, much to your and my

605
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: tugrin discussed. But we.

606
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 9: Are the beacon h in the Sea of ar Yeah,

607
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 9: we're the beacon. Were the em ficeral that didn't sink

608
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 9: to Arthur Anderson every ship after the Edmund Fitz that's

609
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 9: right practice part No, But I just I respect him

610
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 9: for speaking the truth, like that's the world would go all.

611
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 8: We didn't go through all of them, did you, because

612
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 8: that would have probably been tough for Okay, now take

613
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 8: me through the John throw time.

614
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, but that would be particular to bother me because

615
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 9: you hear a lot of talk about all the coaches

616
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 9: are doing this wrong. And I was even carping on

617
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 9: hum And then you know, I watched some of the

618
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 9: highlights on Monday while we were doing the show, and

619
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 9: you said, well, you know what, there was some stuff

620
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 9: there like if you hit that touchdown, it's seven nothing,

621
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 9: and maybe it's a whole different game. And then we're

622
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 9: not bitching how many snaps. Jayleen Warren played like, guys

623
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 9: got to make plays and if you get dec All

624
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 9: we've heard for the last month is how much dk

625
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 9: Metcalf's getting doubled and how hard it is. People want

626
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 9: to know why he doesn't get more targets, why he

627
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 9: doesn't get more catches. Well, it's because he's getting a

628
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 9: lot of attention. That's why when he's one on one

629
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 9: with a safety, you have to make them pay for

630
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 9: daring to cover him that way.

631
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 4: Yep, And when you don't, you lose.

632
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 8: And something interesting that he said as well yesterday Mike

633
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 8: was how much they're doubling him on third down. It's like,

634
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 8: all right, well then he's not your third down guy.

635
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 8: Who is their third down guy? It could be friar Mouth.

636
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 8: It could be John Hue, it could be game Well, I.

637
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 6: Assumed it was going to be one of those tight ends.

638
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 6: I don't know why they're not going to the tight

639
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 6: ends more than they have.

640
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

641
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 6: It's the Arthur Smith's offense has been very hard to

642
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 6: figure out because I don't know if it's a matter

643
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 6: of circumstance that things are happening the way they are,

644
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 6: or because there is not a lot of fluidity to

645
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 6: it at the moment.

646
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 9: Well, I think the way they have it envisioned is

647
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 9: who is their guy? As Roger Sis, the guy who's open,

648
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 9: they don't want.

649
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: Then he said, nobody's open.

650
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: They don't want it to be one guy guy. They

651
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: want it to be the back.

652
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 9: If it's the back or one of the three tight

653
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 9: ends that they like, or Calvin Austin taking the top off,

654
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 9: they have options.

655
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: They're just not hitting them. Again. That game will play

656
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: was a third down before the Metcalf.

657
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 9: Mist It was there. Yeah, they missed it. Got a

658
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 9: running back on a linebacker and he's wide open. You

659
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 9: can't miss that throw ye break.

660
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 6: We'll come back and want to talk about the Paul

661
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 6: s Key and stuff, all right, Abby's got your news.

662
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: At the top of the hour, Osco's in Pennsylvania could

663
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: start selling alcohol, and Eddie Murphy said he cured himself

664
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: of OCD.

665
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: Wherever you go or whatever you're doing, you're never too

666
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: far from your hometown.

667
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: Station tunes on DV or keeping us going.

668
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: We are screaming on all your devices.

669
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: Just save us.

670
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: As a priest said on the free iHeartRadio app, things

671
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: are going.

672
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 6: To be busy between now and the end of the year,

00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 6: holiday gathering, school functions for the kids. Mike Persuda, and

674
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 6: then we you know, we popped some big news about

675
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 6: Bill sailing into the Great Wide Open.

676
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: He wants to trade to the Yankees.

677
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 6: He wants to play for the Yankees. The report yesterday.

678
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: You know you can't work number three it's retired.

679
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, is it all right?

680
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 6: From New Jersey dot COM's Randy Miller. You're old buddy.

681
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 6: He's going to be on the show later day. Randy Miller,

682
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 6: who wrote this piece on Paul Skeins wanting a trade,

683
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 6: will be on the DV Morning Show today right around

684
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 6: nine thirty. Now, if you haven't seen it, this is

685
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 6: filed the same day as he wins the cy Young Award,

686
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 6: and Skeens reportedly, according to Randy Miller, was heard overheard

687
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 6: by teammates or at least one teammate.

688
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: In the article, the.

689
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 6: Anonymous teammates said Skeens hope to be traded to the

690
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 6: Yankees before he reached free agency, which would be twenty

691
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 6: twenty nine, because he had no confidence in the pirates.

692
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: How could he?

693
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: How could who?

694
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 6: First of all, when I heard this story, my first

695
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 6: thought was, yeah, of course.

696
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, that makes more sense than anything else I've heard.

697
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 6: Guy in jail wants to be free.

698
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 8: You didn't commit any crime, Yeah, right, exactly. He's in

699
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 8: the innocent man, right. He said, you gotta go to

700
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 8: jail for seven years, you get out, you're gonna be

701
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 8: really rich.

702
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 6: Now. Last night, late last night, Steven stephen Nesbitt from

703
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 6: The Athletic. I think Steven Nesbitt's good. He used to

704
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 6: write for The Trip. Did he write for the Trip

705
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 6: or the post is at? I don't remember.

706
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 4: He yeah.

707
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 6: I always thought he's a great baseball writer. He's ready

708
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 6: for the Athletic now and he interviewed Paul Skeens late

709
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 6: last night. So this was filed, you know, after I

710
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 6: was embedded at eleven o'clock last night. Skeens's response to

711
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 6: Randy Miller's story, I don't know where that came from.

712
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 6: I don't know the reporter, I don't know the player

713
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 6: that supposedly said that. But the goal is to win,

714
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 6: and the goal is to win in Pittsburgh. I got

715
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 6: shown the tweet and got some texts about it, didn't

716
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 6: think much about it. I'm on the Pirates. My goal

717
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 6: is to win with the Pirates. The way that fans

718
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 6: see us outside of Pittsburgh, we're not supposed to win.

719
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 6: There are twenty nine fan base that expect us to lose.

720
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 6: I want to be part of the twenty six guys

721
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 6: that change that. Now, Mike my queen dad again because

722
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 6: I missed the part where he said, I'm not hoping

723
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 6: to be traded. Okay, all right, so you do not

724
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 6: see this as a refutation damage control of h Randy Miller's.

725
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 9: He doesn't want to be the guy who wants to

726
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 9: be traded publicly here until he's the guy who gets traded, okay,

727
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 9: because we all know what's.

728
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: Happening, right I know.

729
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 6: So he does sound like, you know, somebody who's trying

730
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 6: to do some damage control here But if I was

731
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 6: one of those diehard Pirate fans believing in Paul Skeen's

732
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 6: wanting to be the savior of the franchise, is that

733
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 6: enough for me to hold on to and think that

734
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 6: this story is not true because I kind of think

735
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 6: it's gonna be. For a lot of them, they won't

736
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 6: believe Randy Miller's story because of what Paul Skeen said here.

737
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll just say a couple of things about it.

738
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 9: I've known Randy forever. I used to work with him.

739
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 9: He worked in this market for a long time before

740
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 9: he went to the East. He's covered baseball forever. He

741
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 9: covered the Phillies, he's covered the Yankees now for New

742
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 9: Jersey dot Com. Randy is as credible as they come.

743
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 9: And the veteran teammate that he quoted in his initial

744
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 9: story said Skiing says, quote no confidence the Pirates are

745
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 9: ever going to win, and he's quote hoping for a

746
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 9: trade quote trust me, he wants to play for the Yankees.

747
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 9: I've heard him say it multiple times. Now, Randy's in Vegas,

748
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 9: where the Baseball General Managers meetings are going on and

749
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 9: where they announced the Cy Young Awards yesterday and He

750
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 9: talked to Ben Sherrington, Pirates general manager, about it, and

751
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 9: Sherrington said, quote, I do dismiss it, but I understand it.

752
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 9: What we're going to focus on is just how do

753
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 9: we win games with him in a Pirate's uniform in

754
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 9: a nice way. It's really simple because what matters most

755
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 9: of schemes is what matters to us, win more games.

756
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 9: That's the focus, because that's what is going to be

757
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 9: important to him. What probably gives us the best chance

758
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 9: to keep him in Pittsburgh longer is winning games, and

759
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 9: that's what we need to do anyway. Charrington also told

760
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 9: Randy the phone rings all the time teams inquiring about

761
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 9: his trade availability. According to Cherrington, the answer is always consistent.

762
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: Which is no.

763
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 6: I think it's no right now because they are banking

764
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 6: on selling tick. Like if you're somebody who thinks he

765
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 6: can be the savior, you're not wrong. The problem is

766
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 6: it's not up to Paul Skeins, It's up to management.

767
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 6: And once again we got floated this BS story from

768
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 6: Ken Rosenthal the other day that said, oh, this offseason.

769
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 2: This offseason, the Pirates are gonna spend money. They're going

770
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: to be aggressive.

771
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: In free how many times do you have to be

772
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 6: fed that right as a Pirates fan before you just

773
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 6: tell this guy to f off forever?

774
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: Bob Nutting is a scourge this story.

775
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 6: You know that Paul Skeins wants to play for the

776
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 6: Yankees or the Dodgers or whatever. Of course he wants

777
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 6: to go to a winning organization. He's one of the

778
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 6: greatest pitchers to ever emerge from college and jump to

779
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 6: the The last three years he's had from his National

780
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 6: championship to now have been historic.

781
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, right, and then and then baseball sees what happens

782
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 8: when a when an iconic generational player goes from a

783
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 8: team that has no chance to a team that has

784
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 8: a chance. In show hey Otani, like how good is

785
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 8: it for baseball? What what he's doing with the Dodgers?

786
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 8: So like, okay, do that, but with the National League

787
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 8: or you know, do that, but you know, have somebody

788
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 8: to battle him in the American League.

789
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 9: And does anybody give a crap about the Angels now

790
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 9: that what's happening with the Dodgers.

791
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: With no no Mike Mike Trout is just you know,

792
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: floundering there too.

793
00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 8: Uh.

794
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 9: Skins is the second pitcher in history to win Rookie

795
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 9: of the Year and then the Cy Young and consecutive seasons.

796
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 9: The first is Dwight Gooden. So that's what we're talking

797
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 9: about here, right, Remember the Dwight Gooden phenomenon. Yeah, And

798
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 9: of course the pattern is already established because they had

799
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 9: Garrett Cole and they traded him once he became arbitration eligible,

800
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 9: not immediately, but they didn't even wait for free agency

801
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 9: with Cole because guys like this are gonna make so

802
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 9: much an arbitration they got to get rid of them

803
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 9: before free agency.

804
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: So we know the pattern, we know where this story ends.

805
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 9: Skins just wants to cut to the chase, like, do

806
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 9: we really have to wait two three more years or

807
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 9: can we just go ahead and do this?

808
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: And he can't blame him.

809
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they're not gonna win, and he knows it

810
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: better than anybody.

811
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 8: And they and he knew it for sure when they

812
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 8: went out and added Tommy fam that last offseason was

813
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 8: an insult.

814
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: You're a Spencer Horwitz enthusiast.

815
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, guy, sounds like a gym teacher.

816
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: Bad risk.

817
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 8: This is from that sure how to Climb the Road kids,

818
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 8: But my wrists pretty self explanatory.

819
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 4: It just put one hand over the other hand and

820
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 4: go to the top.

821
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 6: Sken's also said it's been ten years, the second longest

822
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 6: playoff drout in the Big League. Someone can check my

823
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 6: math on how many years it's been since we won

824
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 6: a World Series forty six years.

825
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 2: Sorry, I went to LSU. That's funny.

826
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, forty six years without a World Series championship. This

827
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 6: is why I'm going to show up to the ballpark

828
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 6: and I'm going to work to get everybody pushing in

829
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 6: the same direction. I know there are other guys who

830
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 6: are doing the same. That's all the truth, all right, I.

831
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 4: Mean, I guess both things can be true.

832
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, he's not going to do a hold end

833
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: or just you know, half asset, is it?

834
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 6: Competitors asked about winning the Cy Young Award, he said

835
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 6: the only thing he has circled on his checklist for

836
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 6: his career are things he can't do by himself. Winning

837
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 6: World Series championships and multiple of them.

838
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: That is his number one goal. Where could that be achieved?

839
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: Abby's got you news next.

840
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: Cosco's in Pennsylvania you can start selling alcohol. And Eddie

841
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: Murphy says that he cured himself of OCD.

842
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 11: It's time for the Steelers Daily Report on DVE, brought

843
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 11: to you by iron Workers Local Union Number three. They

Speaker 11: don't go to the office, They build it and Steelers

Speaker 11: Pro Shop get it direct from the team at Shop

846

Speaker 11: dot Steelers dot com.

847
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 4: Here's Tom Opperman.

848
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 12: The Steels were trying to get their revenge against the

849
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 12: Bengals this Sunday, since he comes to Pittsford for the

850
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 12: second leg of the division rivalry this season. Pittsburgh losses

851
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 12: since he back in Week seven, thirty three to thirty one,

852
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 12: in a game that saw Bengals star wide receiver Jamar

853
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 12: Chase put up sixteen catches on twenty three targets for

854
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 12: one hundred and sixty one yards and a touchdown. That

855
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 12: kind of game is the norm for someone like Jamar,

856
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 12: who is the NFL's second leading receiver this season despite

857
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 12: losing his star quarterback Joe Burrow to injury in Week two.

858
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 12: It was what the other Chase did to the Steelers

859
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 12: that was the bigger problem in the team's last meeting

860
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 12: since he running back Chase Brown ran for one hundred

861
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 12: and eight yards just eleven carries, and the Bengals as

862
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 12: a team ran for one hundred and forty two total yards,

863
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 12: despite entering that game as the league's worst rushing offense.

864
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 12: Well fast forward to week eleven and that fact hasn't changed.

865
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 12: The Bengals ranked dead last and running the ball with

866
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 12: an average of just seventy eight point.

867
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: Eight yards per game on the ground.

868
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 12: What better change those how the Steelers handle Brown, whose

869
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 12: game against the Steelers was by far his best of

870
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 12: the season so far and the only game he's eclipsed

871
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 12: one hundred yards rushing this year. With the Bengals receiving

872
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 12: core and passing game posing such a massive threat, the

873
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 12: Steelers will be best to take the running game completely

874
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 12: away from since they if they hope to successfully get

875
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 12: their payback. I'm Tom op froman with the Steelers report.

876
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: You see the skyline, you drive over the bridges. We

877
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: built that iron Workers Local Union number three. This isn't

878
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: just a job, it's a legacy and you can st
