1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation, How we do it? Well, that's

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: good us too. Our number two were full of nerds

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: gummy clusters. Yeah, they're a hit. I couldn't do it, Matt.

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it, asking Labs about Halloween candy.

7
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: But I thought the interview went well. I thought he

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: was in a pleasant mood, and I just.

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: I didn't want to go off track. I think we

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: kept it perfect with Lab.

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just gotta let good things be. But maybe Sunday,

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 2: I'll you know what, Sunday, I'm gonna tell them. I'll

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: confess to them before the pregame show. I'll be like, hey, look,

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: we were debating if we should ask you about Halloween candy.

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: How would it have gone if we would have them?

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: I depend on how he wakes up sun which side

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: of the bed he wakes up on Sunday morning. But

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: thanks to Labs for joining us in our number one

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: reminder here in hour number two. We will get to

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: some tweets before we get out of here as well.

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: Just as well, not as well too. Okay, we're working

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: on it. I did do it once yesterday. I know

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: TV's got me. He's got me on the straight and arrow. Okay,

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: all right. The people, Uh, the people continue to laugh

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: in the in the comments about how I sometimes say

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: as well too, and how that's redundant. It's like I

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: work for the Department of Redundancy departments.

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Same church, different pew.

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: Stop it on my tombstone. It's gonna say Wes, same church,

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: different pew as well too, e'ler. But before any and

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: all of that happens, hopefully a long time from now,

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: we have to We have plenty to get to here

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: in our number two, beginning with Matt as we like

34
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: to do on a Thursday. Uh. This is another one

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: one of those. Everyone who is kind of a football

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: junkie and familiar with the show, you know, but if

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: you don't, Thursday injury reports a big kind of key.

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: It's it's a one day you're really circling and looking for, uh,

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: the practice participation of both teams in here now for

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: the Steelers and the Colts. We will start with the Steelers.

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: I've heard nothing from the Colts. I guess I used

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 3: to pay attention. It's not like it's not out there,

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: but it's it is.

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's is not as uh not as lengthy as

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Yeah not not some not some not much

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: ominous there for the Colts. Uh. Not great for the Steelers,

47
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: but it's also helped their success.

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: They've been very injury free this year, and if you

49
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: look at that offense, they even missed hardly anybody part.

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: Of it, right, right, we talk about the way that

51
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: kind of your schedule and your rest luck works out.

52
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: Injury luck is certainly a real thing too. We talked

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: about that for a couple of years. The Steelers had

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: those two years where what's seventeen and seventeen thirty four

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: regular season games? They had the same offensive line for

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: thirty three of the thirty four, and then the following

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: season they lost Herbiic before the year even started. They

58
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: lost Faltanu early on, they lost Daniels in like Week

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: three or four against Indianapolis. Fraser ended up missing two games.

60
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: They got crushed with it last year, So it works like.

61
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: Sure, everybody recognizes the Ravens had a really good season

62
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: last year regular season they were by far the healthiest

63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: team league too.

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: And now it's gone the opposite way and it's.

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: Because I mean, it always does. But it's hard to

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: live on that.

67
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: It's really biting him in the backside here this season.

68
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Certainly all right, Matt for these Steelers. Still no Scotty

69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: Miller dealing with that finger injury. He has not practiced

70
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: Wednesday or today Thursday, So no Scotty. Scotty doesn't know

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: Ben Skronick. He is back to it.

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: Bet Scotty doesn't even dress. I would and if he's questionable,

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: it hasn't practiced, right, I mean, well, Wilson Calvinist.

74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: Ben Skronick after being limited with a neck issue yesterday,

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: full practice participant today, good news he really is. And

76
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: especially in the absence now of Miles Killerbrow, are you

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: really going to visit? More important to think absolutely absolutely?

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: Uh still know Deshaun Elliott practicing. That's not surprising anybody.

79
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: I think we're all kind of not.

80
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: On ir yet. Seems like it's going that way.

81
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of Dean of Doom, I think it is. It is,

82
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: unfortunately going that way. Corey Trice, I don't know how

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: to feel about this. Matt in that twenty one day window.

84
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: He was a full participant yesterday, limited participant today. I

85
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: don't know.

86
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: Sometimes that happens.

87
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes that does happen.

88
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: If you haven't practiced a long time.

89
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: Practice in a long time, let's ease him back in

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: full day of work today, Like that could have been preplanned, planned.

91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: I just hope it's not a setback.

92
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: I think Hallig mentioned it, and I kind of thought

93
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: the same thing that I would think next week is.

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 2: His week, I would think, so you want to give

95
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: him a full week of practice prep before you, especially

96
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: against an offense like this, throw him to the wolves

97
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: out there. Kyle Duggar, newest Pittsburgh Steeler now officially official.

98
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: We discussed that yesterday. He was a full participant in practice.

99
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: Today they walked out in the indoor and as I

100
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: was walking out of there, I just, you know, went

101
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: walked through the whole deal.

102
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, as suspected. He looked the part.

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: He is kind of looks like he's got they got

104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: the dreads. He's a big safe.

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: Him and Corey Trice both really looked the party.

106
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: It's funny, I asked somebody on the sidelines when Mike

107
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: is s dugger here, He's like, yeah, he's the one

108
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: that looks like Trice said.

109
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: That looks like an avatar out there.

110
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: He's a little thicker, he's a little you know, heavier,

111
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: but he's not quite as long. But yeah, they show up.

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: Not some great news. Uh. Jabrill Pepper's after uh NO

113
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: issue yesterday was limited today with a quad listed as

114
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: a WAK, but it limited. He limited. He did something,

115
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: as did Zach Frazier, and I think this was probably

116
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: planned to he's still dealing with that calf injury. Didn't

117
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: practice yesterday, was limited today. That's the same same thing

118
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: he did last ya. I gotta think that's part of it,

119
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: part of the plan. Cole Holcombe was out today with

120
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: an illness. Hopefully that's something that is good to go

121
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: by Sunday. Still no practice this week for Isaac Sayamalu.

122
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: That's a little concern.

123
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: Say that's the one that's kind of I'd like to see.

124
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: Him at least limited before before the UH the the

125
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: end of the week. Mike Tomlin was clear to say

126
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: on Thursday that he's a guy with plenty of snaps,

127
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: plenty of reps, plenty of money in the bank, so

128
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: he's got a longer leash in terms of not practicing

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: and still playing than most with his veteran status. But

130
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: you'd like to see him at least get out there,

131
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: even if in a limited capacity, tomorrow.

132
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: At Screams game time decision type of thing.

133
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: Yes, Pat Fryarmth, good news here, Pat fryar moof did

134
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: not practice yesterday with a quadricep injury. Uh, he was

135
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: a full participant today.

136
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 3: We're halfway through the year. A lot of these guys

137
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: are gonna be held out.

138
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: Going to be absolutely absolutely. Cam Heyward and DK Metcalf

139
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: got a veteran day today. Nothing nothing serious there. Daniel

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: a Qualley still has not practic that's not surprising, exactly right.

141
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: And the other two twenty one I mentioned Corey Trice,

142
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: how he was limited today. The other two guys that

143
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: are in their twenty one day window, of course, Will

144
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: Howard and Malik Harrison have both been full participants all

145
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: week as well.

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: So from what I understand, a Walle and Elliott are

147
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: probably set to go to IR but they haven't had

148
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: to do it yet because they haven't needed to activate someone.

149
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: Which makes me think, who would you activate?

150
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: You can read Harrison and Trice, yeah, or Howard, but

151
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: that seems like again reading the tea leads yeah, yeah,

152
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: inevitable maybe if you.

153
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: Know they're not playing and they're going to IR. You're

154
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: going to activate somebody. You don't have to do it today.

155
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, maybe that's one of those not a matter

156
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: of if, but just a matter of when.

157
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of starting to lean that way as

158
00:07:59,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: we talked.

159
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: Through Indianapolis Colts. Matt, Let's see here. Nick Cross missed

160
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury. He was a full

161
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: participant today. Wide receiver Josh Downs missed Wenday Wednesday's practice

162
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: with a hip injury. He was a full participant today.

163
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: He's been in that line up a little bit lately.

164
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: Uh. Matt Gonclaves was a full practice participant today after

165
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: missing yesterday's practice.

166
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: You pronounced it wrong, and I pronounced it wrong every time?

167
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: Is it Calves? Is it call this? I think? Oh?

168
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: Is it? Really?

169
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: It's not. I have the hardest time saying it, but

170
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: I've heard it pronounced right, and I never say it right,

171
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: and you didn't say it right.

172
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: You know. Aside, well, obviously aside from aside.

173
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: As nice, aside, lucky.

174
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: A lot worse, aside from same church, different pew, and

175
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 2: as well too. Maybe the third thing that I'm known

176
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: for the most is butchering people's names. Anthony Gold, the

177
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: wide receiver has no practiced all week with a knee injury,

178
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: so that's he is down the depth chart. Yeah, certainly.

179
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: Let's see here. Taekwon Lewis, the defensive end, did not

180
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: practice yesterday with a groin He was a full participant today.

181
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore, the corner with an achilles did not practice yesterday.

182
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: He's a full participant today, and it's actually pretty big.

183
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: He's a really good slot. You don't like to see

184
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: achilles listen.

185
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Uh, and then he'll actually be probably one of the

186
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: two outside guys now too. Their corner position is not great.

187
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: Two more here. Braden Smith the tackle, went from not

188
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: practicing yesterday to a full participant today. He's a starting

189
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: to right tackle, good player. Grover Stewart, the defensive tackle,

190
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: has not practiced yet this week with a foot injury.

191
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: That screams veteran. Though he's been around the block so

192
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: relatively Uh, I think manageable and mostly good news there

193
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: for the Colts.

194
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been other than the cornerback situation, they've been

195
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: very fortunate with injuries.

196
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and uh like a lot of those guys

197
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: who were did not practice on Wednesday, went back to

198
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: uh to full participation today. So that's kind of your

199
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: injury report. Uh. The all the latest here on Thursday

200
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: as is, that's something that we really keep an eye

201
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: on here. Let me see this as well too. Uh

202
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: good old and from Steelers PR just sent one more

203
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: follow up email. Uh, Darius Slade did not practice today

204
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: personal matter though not not not listed as anything injury wise.

205
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: Did not practice with a personal matter for Darius Slay today.

206
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: So that was the that was the only change there

207
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: in the uh the latest update that just came across

208
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: the timeline. So I think about what we expect for

209
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: the Steelers.

210
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it sounds like see and just in terms

211
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: of the injury see them all loose seems like the

212
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: only major one looming that we don't know today.

213
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: Yes, and I guess something could always happen with Zach Frasier, right, Yeah,

214
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: I guess, But that feels like they've kind of throughout

215
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,359
Speaker 2: the week got him on a pitch count.

216
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: And sounds like a carbon copy all last week, like

217
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: you mentioned, yeah, copy and pa his name.

218
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: Right, Well, obviously that's our that's our baby, baby. I

219
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: think the only the only thing I've had to cheer

220
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: about out of Morgantown for the last six or seven years.

221
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that other than you know, a

222
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: backyard brawl victory a little over a month ago. Don't

223
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: talk to me though, about what's happened to the two

224
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: programs since then. A tale of two different cities, for sure, Matt.

225
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: When we returned on the other side, a couple more

226
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: of your stats that I want to discuss with you.

227
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: We got to talk a little Thursday night preview. They

228
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: see the bird lose. Yeah, I tell you what. Yeah,

229
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: they've been on Thursday Night football couple of times already,

230
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: haven't they. Am I wrong?

231
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: They don't know that?

232
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: Just one just once the Giants, right, Yeah, I don't

233
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: remember correcting that. Wait, sorry, I'm I'm I'm confusing myself.

234
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: I don't think abouts I'm thinking Eagles. I'm thinking Eagles, Giants.

235
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 4: Sorry sorry, Uh, Dolphins though they're the Dolphins. I think

236
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: have been on Thursday Night twice. But anyway, it's the

237
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: Ravens and Dolphins.

238
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: Say the concentrate on the Birdies for all sixty minutes, Like.

239
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, sit down and really watch a Baltimore game. Now

240
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: that they're getting a little bit healthier out of their.

241
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: Bye week ramar all that they could lose. I hope

242
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: so AFC North on the road Thursday night. It's always bad.

243
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: I'll be interesting to see how that defense holds up

244
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: in particular, so plenty to get to in the final

245
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: two segments of the show. Here, you know where to

246
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: get at us if you want to get those tweets

247
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: in and get involved. West Yuuler, Matt Williamson, It is

248
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,440

251
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

252
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: Back on the Drive here on a Thursday, as we

253
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: head down the home stretch. Some good news for the

254
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, Matt, both Nico Collins and Christian Kirk expected

255
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: me back and playing against the Broncos. The build there

256
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: they are, but it's like every I don't know what

257
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: it is. Do they have the toughest I haven't looked

258
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: at the entirety. I mean, I have to a couple

259
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: of points. They've got to have some some reprieve at

260
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: the end of the schedule, because it feels like every

261
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: week we talk playing somebody great it's like, Okay, they're

262
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: getting back close to Oh, here come the Niners.

263
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: Okay, they get the Titans right right right.

264
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: They have Denver, then they have Jacksonville.

265
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: Then they got a sudden Jacksonville and Indie look a

266
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: lot better than they used to too.

267
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: So they have Denver at home, Jacksonville at home. That's tough.

268
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Then they go to Tennessee. Okay, then they have Buffalo, Indianapolis,

269
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City.

270
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: They have a first play schedule, so they're gonna get

271
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: the They're gonna get the Ravens. They're gonna get the.

272
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: Their schedule has been hllacious already. You're right, that first

273
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: play schedule is yeah, the Ravens are seeing that too.

274
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: But like Matt, they have you can circle two wins

275
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: on their schedule the rest of the year, Tennessee and

276
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: Houston because they already played the already beat Tennessee once.

277
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: But like they've got Denver, they've got Jacksonville, they've got Buffalo,

278
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: they've got Indy twice, they've got Kansas City, they've got

279
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: the Chargers on the road Arizona. Okay, maybe you'd circle

280
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: that one as well, but that's I'll.

281
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: Tell you what two or three games your favorite if

282
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: they played them today.

283
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: If Houston does make it into the playoffs, they're going

284
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: to be battle tested and ready to go and a

285
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: legit team, I think because.

286
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: It is interesting because they'vedug themselves a whole, they're starting

287
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: to play a lot better and Nico comes back. They're

288
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: the best offensive game without their best offensive player.

289
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: But it's murders uphill climb. Yeah. I mean, they've they've

290
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: got some nice they've got some north Face gear and

291
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: and and ready to go. But that's a tough uphill

292
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: climb that they got the rest of the way.

293
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: They have the best defense in the league.

294
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: They are allowing the lowest points a game. That's my

295
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: favorite metric for judging the defense. They are no Moro

296
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: Uno in that regard. At just hold on, I have

297
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: it right here. Fourteen point seven points per.

298
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: Game, and they played good teams and they played.

299
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: Right giving up just thirteen touchdowns on the year, only

300
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: behind the La Rams. Rams have the third best scoring

301
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: defense in the league, Colts six best, don't look now,

302
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: six best, allowing just nineteen point three points per game.

303
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: That's something that we talked about earlier, Matt. A team

304
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: that is going to try and start digging themselves out

305
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: of their hole. I guess they did at home Sunday

306
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: again against Chicago. The Baltimore Ravens are two and five.

307
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: They are in Miami against the two and six Dolphins.

308
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: They are seven and a half point favorites. Only four

309
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: teams have ever made the playoffs in league history with

310
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: from the position that the Ravens were in. Okay, Baltimore,

311
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: I gotta think will probably need to win eight of

312
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: its last ten to have a change.

313
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: Maybe you can afford two losses ten and seven. They

314
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: can't be the Steelers, right, yeah, right.

315
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: They would need some tie breakers, but ten and seven

316
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: could certainly would would absolutely have you right in the

317
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: thick of things.

318
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: It would have even think of things. And who knows.

319
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: I mean subject to change, But I tend to lean

320
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: towards only one team in the North.

321
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: That's going to go.

322
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that because I think Buffalo and

323
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: New England are probably both gonna end up. There's three

324
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: candidates in the West. The Colts would be be shocking

325
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: if they don't end up there. And I don't think

326
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: Houston's dead, No, and Jacksonville's alive too.

327
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: But you know that still feels like of Houston and Jacksonville.

328
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: One of those teams I think is going to be

329
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: right in it.

330
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine no one might.

331
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: One might fall off, but I think one of those

332
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: teams is going to be right in it. Denver, Kansas City,

333
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: one of those teams is going to the playoffs, which

334
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: every one doesn't win, whicheveryone doesn't Chargers will be in it.

335
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: Chargers are right there, Patriots and Bills. One of those

336
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: teams is going to the playoffs, whoever doesn't win that division.

337
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: So you start to look around the Titanic and there's

338
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: not many seats left.

339
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: No, and maybe I'm wrong, maybe the second place team

340
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: in the North can get a wild card.

341
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: A lot of things will change, but that does favor

342
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: the Steelers.

343
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: I mean, two of the Steelers' losses are against NFC teams,

344
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: so their AFC tie breakers are pretty good. I don't

345
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: think the Ravens are, like I know, the Ravens lost

346
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: head up to Texans. I think they've lost a lot

347
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: of as.

348
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: Lost to Buffalo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they lose the Kansas

349
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: City as well too.

350
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: Yes, so they've lost it just right when they've played

351
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: But yeah.

352
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and their wins are against Chicago, and I'm drawing

353
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: a blank was a Carolina but Chicago and NFC team,

354
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: so that does yea yeah right. I know their tie

355
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: breakers are really bad, really bad, but they still according

356
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: to ESPN Analytics forty three percent chance to make the playoffs,

357
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: Steelers at about fifty four percent chance. Okay, uh, only.

358
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: They have to win the night though. They have to,

359
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: and I think they will, but I'm shocked at seven

360
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: and a half. Lamar makes a ton of different don't

361
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: get me wrong, of course, but.

362
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: He's also got to have some rust. I mean, he

363
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: hasn't played.

364
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 5: Wow.

365
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: Miami is coming off a pretty nice game too, I mean.

366
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Maybe their best performance of the season.

367
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do the power ranks. They're not thirty two.

368
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying they're middle of the top fifteen,

369
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: but two. They're coming off a decent game. They're at home.

370
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 3: Tough places to play, I definitely think. I mean, if

371
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: this was the Steelers going to Miami, we'd be talking

372
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: about Tomlin. On the road on Thursday nights, Harbaugh is

373
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: just the same. I mean, every team in the division

374
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: is really bad on the road on Thursday nights, no

375
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: matter who they play. Miami's not the easiest place in

376
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: the world to play, I mean, and.

377
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: Hopefully Baltimore all their players went out Wednesday night on

378
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: South Beach and enjoyed the yeah yeah, go strong.

379
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: And they think they have some fundamental problems that both

380
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: lines of scrimmage. Maybe I'll be totally wrong about all

381
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: those things. I'm not predicting they're getting beat, but I

382
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: think tonight they'll just be telling do they have things

383
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: fixed or are they in trouble?

384
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: Like I kind of sloppily said that stat but of

385
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 2: all the teams in NFL history who have started one

386
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: to five or worse, only four have made the playoffs. Wow,

387
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: that's about one percent of the teams in league history

388
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 2: that start one in five or worse.

389
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 3: Go to the past quite the run, you would, and

390
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: another bad thing can't happen. It can't be like oh, lamar,

391
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: I got heard again, you know, like we're just assuming

392
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 3: there's gonna be healthy the rest of the way. I mean,

393
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: that's crazy.

394
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: Great Point, Great Point Cleveland and Chicago are their two wins,

395
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: so they do have one AFC win, but the other

396
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: one is a is NFC. They lost to Buffalo, Detroit,

397
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: Kansas City, Houston, and LA. So three of drugs. Good teams.

398
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: So they're one and three to the CFC right now,

399
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: right UH at Miami, at Minnesota, at Cleveland. Then they

400
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 2: host the Jets, then they host the Bengals. Then they

401
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: host the Steelers three straight home games. You can definitely

402
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: see him go and run, you could. Then they go

403
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: to Cincinnati, they host the Patriots. That's tough. And they're

404
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: in those last two. I mean they're hoping just to

405
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: get to those last three games against New England at

406
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: Green Bay at Pittsburgh for it for a chance.

407
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: I think they can blow me away if Week eighteen

408
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: is for the title.

409
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: So you'll laugh. Our Dan Quinlan, who's like the marketing

410
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: and promotions extraordinary here at iHeartRadio. He is also our

411
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: producer for the UH for the game day broad game.

412
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: So he's the producer. I'm the engineer. We're kind of

413
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: the two that sit right behind Robin Max and you know,

414
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: do all the behind the scenes, run the show type stuff.

415
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, I said to him, maybe

416
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: this is on me hand up, maybe I jinxed it

417
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: all right, but it's not as bad as Rob King

418
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: saying this. Steelers are gonna blow this team out when

419
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: they were up ten nothing on the Bengal Maybe before

420
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: that Bengals game, I think it was, I said to Quinlan.

421
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: I was like, man, because that's always it's been. The

422
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: NFL does this now where Week eighteen eighteen is all TVDH,

423
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: it's all division, it's all TVD. There's no time scheduled

424
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: or dates scheduled for any of those.

425
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: Was the best stuff at the best time and all.

426
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: They'll put a couple of games on Saturday. Yeah, they'll

427
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: put all the sludge at one o'clock on Sunday, right

428
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: and then and then the best game Sunday evening. So

429
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: Saturday night and Sunday evening become the big thing. In

430
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, that's been a big game

431
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: for the Steelers or for Baltimore, and it's been on

432
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 2: Saturday night. It's like the last super Smart's very smart.

433
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: But it drives you know, as it's crazy, drives us crazy,

434
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: as people who have kids and wives and lives and

435
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: need to make a schedule when.

436
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 3: The coaches and the people have to make travel arrangements

437
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: and things.

438
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: Like college football does that every bleeping week, which drives

439
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: me nuts.

440
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: They move things around that much.

441
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: The six day windows now, oh wow, So for example,

442
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: is that new? Uh No, it's been going on for

443
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: a few years now. For example, next Saturday, so what's

444
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: that nine day eight days from now, nine days from now, Yeah,

445
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: when we will be in LA ahead of Steelers Chargers.

446
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 3: Right right right, you guys have already flown there area.

447
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: UCLA hosts Nebraska at the Rose Bull. I would really

448
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: like to go, but it's going to depend on what

449
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 2: time the game is.

450
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 3: Said, they don't even know yet.

451
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 2: That game's eight days away, nine days away, and they

452
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: haven't set a kickoff time yet and they won't until Monday. Wow,

453
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: it'll be six days ef.

454
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: So like, you know, you'll be in the city. You

455
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: just don't know if you could go or not. Correct,

456
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: that's crazy, correct, Like I'm sure Nebraska people are. Like.

457
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: The next Saturday, WVU hosts Colorado, which, as you could imagine,

458
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: is a sold out, big deal because Deon Sanders is

459
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: coming to Morgantown for the first time. Tickets. They just

460
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: announced the kickoff time yesterday. Wow. So you know, I

461
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: love college football. That's the one of the things that

462
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: drives me absolute bumkersfair It's it's ridiculous. It's it's such crap,

463
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: and the TV networks get away with it. So why

464
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 2: would they not. We're gonna put the best games and

465
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: the best slots and all that. But it drives me nuts,

466
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: especially in college where so many people are you know,

467
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: your son one day lives in Pittsburgh but graduated from Kentucky.

468
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: He only he only goes.

469
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 3: Even this weekend, he's meeting buddies at Ohio State to

470
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: go see Ohio State Michigan or Ohio State, Penn State,

471
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: Penn State. If they didn't know what time it was,

472
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: that would make things a little more difficult.

473
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: You know, Like like I've got some buddies from college

474
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: that just come back for homecoming weekend every year. A

475
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: lot of times they're like should I fly on Friday night?

476
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: Should I? You know what I mean? Because I'm not

477
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: going to know when the staking kickoff is until six

478
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: days before the game. Anyway, Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox.

479
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: I know nobody cares.

480
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: So my least one of my least fair of things

481
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: I've ever done in my career. I did it for

482
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 3: one game, but I had to organize all the travel

483
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 3: arrangements for Akron going to Penn State opening day. Cool

484
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 3: and I learned very quickly to hate it.

485
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: That seems very detail oriented with so.

486
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 3: Much to it, and it's not football related at all.

487
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: I was a director of pouring Matt's status no, right, right, right,

488
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: and quickly I was very happy when the Browns called.

489
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, I never produced again.

490
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: I have to do one game bo.

491
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: But at least the visiting teams know they're gonna be

492
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna land at the same time either way.

493
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: You know, it would be nice so when kickoff is

494
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 3: but it probably doesn't change your travel arrangements or hotel arrangements, right,

495
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 3: you know.

496
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: Yes, that that's a good point from the team's perspective.

497
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, we're gonna be there the night before regardless.

498
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: But again, I remember that it was a long time ago.

499
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: They play at Stanford Saturday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're flying

500
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: out evening instead of Friday, they're flying out. They're flying

501
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: out Thursday to kind of give themselves an extra day

502
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: to adjust to, you know, the time change and go

503
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: to the West coast and all that.

504
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a small detail unless you're the one

505
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: in charge of it.

506
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: Like I was really you're the athletic partment that has

507
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: to pay for an extra night of Yeah, two hundred

508
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: people at a hotel. Yeah, they give you a little deal.

509
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: But right, I mean they all room together, but it's

510
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 3: still a lot of rooms and it's a lot of money, right, yeah,

511
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: and a lot of food.

512
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: You know. You know, I go on the road with

513
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 2: the Steelers. You did it in Dublin. You've seen the

514
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: operation that.

515
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: It's awesome, unbelievable. I missed it a pit. It was incredible, right,

516
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 3: I mean, whatever you want. But I was thinking about that.

517
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: It's like, well, when I tell the hotel I need

518
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: breakfast and lunch or do I need breakfast, lunch and

519
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: something else?

520
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: You know, like, I it's a cone game, you don't

521
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: need dinner. You're getting on.

522
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 3: That light getting right right, right, I see the pregame

523
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 3: meal and get me out of here.

524
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: Right college football? But yeah, I was anyways to get

525
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: back to where I was like, how did we get here?

526
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: I said to Quinland. I said to our producer Dan Quinlan.

527
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, I bet you will finally have

528
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: Week eighteen as a Sunday one o'clock came. We've had

529
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: this set the last few years, We've got to go

530
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 2: to Baltimore on a Saturday night and it's like, come on, man,

531
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: and then we don't get home till three in the morning.

532
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: It's like, is this really? Can we can we just

533
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: have a Sunday one o'clock game. Yeah, I've got a

534
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 2: bad feeling that's not gonna happen.

535
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a feeling Raven Steelers are gonna matter

536
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: in some way, shape.

537
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: Or some for for one of the two teams.

538
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: It's gonna matter someone's eliminated or close to it, and

539
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: someone's gonna need this team to win in that team

540
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: to win to get in.

541
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know right. Yeah. Could be another that's exactly

542
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: what the NFL wants. Could be another Saturday night, although

543
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: at least this time it'll be at Akrosser Stadium, not

544
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: in freezing cold Baltimore. My kidding, actress are still gonna

545
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: be freezing Matt One more segment to go. Oh wait,

546
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: hold on, real quick predictions for tonight seven and a half.

547
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: You said that's a that is a big to take

548
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: the money or take the point, Take the points on

549
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: a short week. Touchdown feels always a good stress.

550
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: I believe this Harbor Tomlin AFC North Road thing.

551
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: Over under fifty one and a half points. It's not

552
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: crazy high, but it's not low. I think so too.

553
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: Both of these teams can score some points. Certainly Miami,

554
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, coming off an impressive offensive performance to

555
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: a play and it wasn't it wasn't my bar to clear,

556
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: but it was his best game that he's played one

557
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: of these teams, Matt, their season is going to be

558
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 2: basically over tonight.

559
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: Miami's might be the Miamis might be no matter division,

560
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 3: but he's if he gets blown out the night, he

561
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: may not see Friday, employment.

562
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: Might not make it to the weekend. Yeah yeah, and maybe.

563
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: Jaalen Waddle's on the move, then you know we'll be

564
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: Ripple effects.

00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: of the other big you know, national games that we'll

597
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: this Saturday slate November first, It's like, holy crap, It's

598
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: like by the time college football kicks off on Saturday afternoon,

599
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: it's going to be November November. Right. That happened, quick, man.

600
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: I mean it always does this. It always does the

601
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: football season and this time of year always flies. It

602
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: still takes you back.

603
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I've been doing this for a lot of seasons.

604
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: But it's week nine in the NFL already, yeah ten

605
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: in college and college teams only have four games left.

606
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 3: You're probably quickly figuring this out too, and I'm sure

607
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: it's similar for you. But every every week is Groundhog Day.

608
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: I mean, unless the Steelers play a weird day.

609
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: Unless it's a Thursday game in Cincinnati or a game

610
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: in Double Yeah.

611
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: Or a Monday night game or something, everything has changed around.

612
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: But I can tell you exactly what i'mnna be doing

613
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: on four o'clock on Thursday a month from now, or

614
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: Monday at nine am, or you know.

615
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I know exactly what I'm gonna do.

616
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I I actually start the season with

617
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: a spreadsheet. Okay, this hour is blocked off, this this, this, this,

618
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: you know, like, Okay.

619
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: When I moved into this time slot in this show

620
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: with you from my previous time slot was ten am

621
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 2: to two o'clock, and I remember talking with our bosses

622
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: and the powers that be of them being like any

623
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: concerns anything like that, I was like, I love Matt.

624
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: He's great, We're gonna have a lot of fun. Like yeah,

625
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: I was like, but I just hope you know, like

626
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: I am. I have to uproot my life, my wife's life,

627
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: are kids lives because you got my children right. Thing

628
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: is playing for me to be in the studio at

629
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: this time and now I'm gonna be there to complete

630
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: office at times exactly right.

631
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: You got pretty used to this routine at this time,

632
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: at that.

633
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: Time and this day and that day. And that's Matt.

634
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: You and I don't have much in common with athletes,

635
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: but being creatures of routine during the season, certainly one

636
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: of them. Let's go to the tweets here to close

637
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: things down. A reminder, like we we take two tweets

638
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 2: all throughout the week, and so if you send them,

639
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: if you say us a good one, if you send

640
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: us a good one. At random times, I'll bookmarket and

641
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: we'll save it for the next show or something like that.

642
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: But Thursdays we can kind of deep dive into these.

643
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: We kind of do the Thursday Twitter mail bag ex

644
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: Twitter mail bag if you will. And you know, we

645
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: were laughing about some of my radio host quirks earlier.

646
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: Jackson tweets here and says, please inform West that not

647
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: every single thing that is similar is same church, different pew,

648
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: all in good fun, love the show and listen every day.

649
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: You will find a lot of people who do this

650
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: for a living like you, and I think you and

651
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: I are in the same boat here, a lot of

652
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: people who do this radio hosting, TV, You're right whatever.

653
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: Some type of media take themselves way too seriously. I

654
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: tried not to. I laugh at myself about the same church,

655
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: different pew, stuff about the as well to stuff. I

656
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: realized that I have my flaws as a radio host.

657
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: As you mentioned, I have a lot of different outlets

658
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 3: and a week all week I've been joking the Steelers

659
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: have been handing out completions like it's Halloween, can.

660
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: Seven different places? Right?

661
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: You're right, right, Like it's you know you got to

662
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: repeat yourself a little bit sometimes too.

663
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: Annie tweets us since speaking of Halloween candy here this

664
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: transition is nicely she said. You know, she enjoyed the

665
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: segment from yesterday, the brief Halloween candy segment that we did,

666
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: but she needs to know our thoughts on the most

667
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: polarizing of them all. Candy corn. Yeah. I don't hate,

668
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: but I would don't seek it out either. Yeah.

669
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 3: I think Chris yesterday or day before said it's the

670
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: worst thing on the planet. I don't even know where

671
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: it's place is, Okay, in a bowl that nobody eats

672
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: it in there, you know, like hype.

673
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you are on a desert island, Matt Williamson

674
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: cast away, Tom Hanks, You and you and Wilson baby. Yeah,

675
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: Genie comes down and you can have one of two

676
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: food options to feed yourself for the next week.

677
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: Candy corn's wine or almond joyce allmenjoys and more nourishing.

678
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: It will keep me.

679
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: Alive longer than just pure sugar. There's like nuts in

680
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: there and coconut coking.

681
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: It will hydrate you at least a little.

682
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: Bit, right, So I probably would take them anyway, Like

683
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: I'd never choose coconut. I don't hate coconut though, it's

684
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: just if I'm gonna eat calories, it's not gonna be coconut.

685
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't hate candy corn, but I never have it.

686
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: I would never pick it. Yeah, I'm not like I

687
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: can't right right.

688
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, I'd be like, it's all right,

689
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: you know, if I was eight or whatever. Which begs

690
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: this question, yeay or nay? On black licorice, I know

691
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: that's not a Halloween I'm a big yah. I know

692
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: I'm in the minority, and I think it makes me

693
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: feel old.

694
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: I'm not a liquorice guy, period. I love it. Do

695
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: you like the big one, like the big honkin licorices?

696
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: Or do you like just like the twizzler like the

697
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: peel and.

698
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: Wwizzards are gold? I mean twizzlers are gold.

699
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: You and my wife would My wife, Morgan loves her

700
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: some twizzlers.

701
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: Like black liquors still come in like big honks, But

702
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: it makes you feel old. That's an old person, can't.

703
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: It's a very old person. Candy. There's not many foods

704
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson that I'm like, no chance, but black liquors.

705
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 3: I definitely see why people say that.

706
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: Might have had a incident in high school where I

707
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: had a little black licorice and maybe too much to drink.

708
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: And I think you're gonna say, was it Rumplem, what's

709
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 3: the black liquorice?

710
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: Liquor? It's not like the like Yeggert, yeah, kind of

711
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: black licorice.

712
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: I think there's there's a couple of black liquors liquors

713
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: out there that are bad.

714
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm good on all that. I'll just stick to the

715
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: beer into tequila and the Reeses and the nerds clusters

716
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: are hit. Andrew tweets us along the lines of our

717
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 2: conversation about the Shawn Elliott and I are Jeremy Fowler,

718
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: formerly of this parish. Yes, uh Is just reported the

719
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: Steelers may be calling to Shawn Elliott week to week,

720
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: but people I've talked to are not optimistic that he

721
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: will return this season.

722
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: I've heard a little bit of everything on that.

723
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: It's one thing of like they're gonna pu him on

724
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: ir in hell Miss a month as opposed to most

725
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: of the entire season.

726
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 3: I always say, teams tell you what they think more

727
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 3: than they actually speak it, you know, like and go

728
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 3: and make the dugger trade. Sure, seems like a one

729
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: for one replacement for Elliott because Dougger's not a free.

730
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 5: Man.

731
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Fowler's pretty tapped in. Like I don't know, yah, yeah,

732
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: he doesn't.

733
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 3: Just it wouldn't shock me one bit.

734
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when it happened live.

735
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 3: When the game happened, I'm like, I think.

736
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: He's on for the year. Yeah.

737
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: Ah man, that's such a press conference. Originally was kind

738
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: of promising, but.

739
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 2: Who knows, maybe something changed, maybe they were still waiting

740
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: final word. Maybe he just didn't want to pay the

741
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 2: doom and gloom picture. Again.

742
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 3: I hate talking medical, but sometimes if like wait till

743
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: the swelling goes down before they further evaluated, and things

744
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 3: like that.

745
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, last one here, Matt, I like this another Andrew.

746
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: He was a loyal tweeter of Motes and I on

747
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: the blitz. He says, three question Thursday with a question mark.

748
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: So this is something I think I've explained to mos

749
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: and I would do this sometimes where people could submit

750
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: random Sometimes they could be related to sports, but sometimes

751
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 2: they could be random as well. Three questions why not?

752
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 2: We got a couple of minutes here. Number one from Andrew,

753
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: what part of history do you find most interesting.

754
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: WW two is pretty awesome.

755
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: World War two is fantastic. Yeah that an American revolution

756
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: World War two, an American revolution would be my answers,

757
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 2: What are your opinion on tattoos? Not for me, but

758
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 2: I have one. It's my wife's name on my ring

759
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: because I hate jewelry. Okay, if you ever see me

760
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: wearing necklaces or wristbands or.

761
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: Like, this is the only thing that saysn't been off

762
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: on his.

763
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: Shoulder and be like, you're not Wes who, You're an

764
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 2: alien in Wes's body because I never wear jewelry.

765
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: Although this I probably this does not paint myself in

766
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 3: a great light and it'll blow you away. But if

767
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: you notice this ear lobe, it's ripped open. Oh yeah,

768
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: because I used to have a crystal that would dangle

769
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 3: like long back in days high school in the college,

770
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 3: and one day I just woke up next to it

771
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: on the pillow after too many tugs playing hoops or whatever.

772
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 3: Never hurt, but I was like joke with my wife,

773
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: like you can identify my body with my torny year lob.
