- 0:21Speaker 1: But here in our Number one, it's all about the
- 0:24Speaker 1: Sunday night game. Not much of a game. The Steelers
- 0:28Speaker 1: had an early lead and then it was domination the
- 0:30Speaker 1: rest of the way from the Chargers. What's your takeaway
- 0:33Speaker 1: from Mike Tomlin giving a reporter the death stare when
- 0:37Speaker 1: asked about Aaron Rodgers' performance for the Pittsburgh football team. Also,
- 0:43Speaker 1: how much stalk do you put in Mike Tomlin promising
- 0:46Speaker 1: that the Steelers he said, we'll be back and show
- 0:49Speaker 1: up to the game on Sunday night? And is this
- 0:51Speaker 1: embarrassing for the NFL that the Chargers haven't been able
- 0:55Speaker 1: to develop a fan base. There were thousands and thousands
- 0:59Speaker 1: of terrible tale at that game last night at sofar
- 1:03Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that and more right now. Give
- 1:06Speaker 1: it up to our Number one.

- 2:37Speaker 1: it again and busy night bouncing around here, did have
- 2:41Speaker 1: a chance to attend most of the Sunday night cam.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I was out there watching the Sunday night game, I
- 2:48Speaker 1: believe a little early to make it here to the
- 2:51Speaker 1: Mothership to avoid the mass exodus. And it was the
- 2:54Speaker 1: daily double at so Far and as our lead there
- 2:59Speaker 1: Sunday night for Mike Tomlin and the Steelers visiting SoCal
- 3:02Speaker 1: to take on Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers in a
- 3:07Speaker 1: made for TV matchup. I did not get to hear
- 3:10Speaker 1: the broadcast. I imagine that Chris Collsworth was slobbering all
- 3:13Speaker 1: over both quarterbacks, so the very difficult to slobber over
- 3:16Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers the way that he played. But there they
- 3:20Speaker 1: were at so Far in the hood in Inglewood and
- 3:25Speaker 1: up to no good. That was Aaron Rodgers up to
- 3:27Speaker 1: no good. My god, horrific. So I'll get right into it.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, who wasn't all that great either. He had
- 3:33Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty yards passing and a touchdown and
- 3:38Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers a stumble bump performance for Aaron Rodgers, his
- 3:43Speaker 1: worst game with the Pet sparkstiff. Despite being surrounded by
- 3:48Speaker 1: nothing but black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow,
- 3:51Speaker 1: black and yellow. It did not matter as the Chargers
- 3:55Speaker 1: slapping around Aaron Rodgers and a lot of that was
- 3:59Speaker 1: unforced mistake by Rogers twenty five to ten. Your final
- 4:03Speaker 1: score saw the game? You know that on Sunday night
- 4:06Speaker 1: there for the third straight win. Show me your lightning bolt. Now,
- 4:10Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room. Aaron
- 4:14Speaker 1: Rodgers completed barely over fifty percent of his passes in
- 4:18Speaker 1: this game. I'm told that's not good. He averaged a
- 4:21Speaker 1: little over five yards of pass which was actually better
- 4:24Speaker 1: than it had been most of the game thanks to
- 4:26Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and the garbage time touchdown with less
- 4:30Speaker 1: than three minutes to go the game. Well in the bag,
- 4:32Speaker 1: what's in the back? The win is in the bag
- 4:35Speaker 1: for the team from Los Angeles, the Chargers. There. Rogers
- 4:39Speaker 1: also had an interception that he sacked for a safety
- 4:43Speaker 1: in the end zone, obviously, and then also fumble, though
- 4:46Speaker 1: that was recovered. So when asked to assess Aaron Rodgers play,
- 4:51Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, the Steelers head coach, seemingly dismissing the question
- 4:58Speaker 1: there and he delivered a death stare, a Mike Tomlin
- 5:03Speaker 1: death stare to the reporter, do we have that. I
- 5:06Speaker 1: don't know we have that we have that. I listened
- 5:08Speaker 1: to Mike Tomlin here has asked the basic question you're
- 5:10Speaker 1: starting quarterback, went out there and wrote the comment, what
- 5:13Speaker 1: do you have to say for yourself?
- 5:15Speaker 3: How would you?
- 5:19Speaker 1: How would you? How would you? All right? So that
- 5:26Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss I
- 5:29Speaker 1: always like angry Mike Tomlin's fun. It's fun angry Mike Tomlin.
- 5:33Speaker 1: It was an obvious question. Everyone knows the answer to that.
- 5:36Speaker 1: It's like, but you're not supposed to say it. So
- 5:38Speaker 1: let us discuss the question what is your takeaway from
- 5:42Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin and the death Stare? The death stair like
- 5:48Speaker 1: the male Medusa right there, Mike tom about Aaron Rodgers
- 5:52Speaker 1: and how to assess his performance or lack thereof. So
- 5:56Speaker 1: I've got limited edition frosty mug and background noise, and
- 6:02Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 6:05Speaker 1: are going to pig out on ballpark food like stale popcorn, nachos,
- 6:12Speaker 1: hot dogs. There's a lot of ballpark food everywhere being tossed.
- 6:17Speaker 1: So hey, my first thought on this, I loved the
- 6:18Speaker 1: Tomlin desk there, not quite to the level of Bill
- 6:22Speaker 1: Belichick back in his salad days with the Patriots. But Tomlin,
- 6:26Speaker 1: his blood was boiling. The blood was He's like, here
- 6:29Speaker 1: we go again, Here we go again. And Ben Roethlisberger
- 6:34Speaker 1: was not very good the end of his time in Pittsburgh.
- 6:37Speaker 1: They've had a revolving door of dumb and dumber at
- 6:41Speaker 1: quarterback ever since Roethlisberger left. And again he went very
- 6:45Speaker 1: good at the end there in Pittsburgh. And so they
- 6:48Speaker 1: went through a bunch last year was justin Fields, Holy
- 6:51Speaker 1: crappt us. He sucked and you see what he did
- 6:53Speaker 1: for the Jets. Again they won, but not because him
- 6:56Speaker 1: and then also Russell Wilson. So they're like, well we
- 6:58Speaker 1: got better, and Aaron Rodgers has actually been better than
- 7:03Speaker 1: what they had gotten there in Pittsburgh. But this was horrific.
- 7:07Speaker 1: That was not the kind of performance you expected. Obviously,
- 7:10Speaker 1: no one expected that. And man Rogers looking like he
- 7:15Speaker 1: belonged in a museum, and not the Pro Football Hall
- 7:18Speaker 1: of Fame. I'm talking about like a museum where they
- 7:21Speaker 1: look at dinosaurs. Man ancient looking there for Rogers in
- 7:27Speaker 1: the game. And I was actually sitting kind of near
- 7:29Speaker 1: the end zone when Rogers stumbled and bumbled and fell
- 7:33Speaker 1: down there for the safety early in the football game there,
- 7:37Speaker 1: and any success he had in this game was in
- 7:40Speaker 1: garbage time. The game had already been decided. The outcome
- 7:43Speaker 1: was going to go to the Chargers, and then that's it.
- 7:45Speaker 1: So you'd think the way he was playing, there should
- 7:48Speaker 1: be some kind of spin off with Nike, a limited
- 7:52Speaker 1: edition Nike Orthopedic cleat. I get those special Orthopedic cleats
- 7:57Speaker 1: with the swooshot him and get him a walker holy
- 8:01Speaker 1: canoy man. Instead of just do it, just nap will
- 8:05Speaker 1: be the phrase there for Rogers. Watching him play here,
- 8:08Speaker 1: he looked like forget forty one. He played like he
- 8:11Speaker 1: was in his late sixties there, plodding along slow. There
- 8:15Speaker 1: was really no rhythm, no method to the madness here
- 8:19Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers, and we call the type of game
- 8:23Speaker 1: Rogers had it's called the Compass Rose. What is the
- 8:26Speaker 1: compass Rose quarterback? That is where the passes go up
- 8:29Speaker 1: and down and right and left, and Rogers, it seemed, specifically,
- 8:34Speaker 1: had mastered in this game the art of the overthrow.
- 8:37Speaker 1: The art of the overthrow. There was vintage. This was
- 8:42Speaker 1: like Jets era Rodgers, although I felt like it was
- 8:45Speaker 1: worse than that. Even watching it in person. I've seen
- 8:48Speaker 1: it on TV a bunch, but to be there in
- 8:50Speaker 1: the building and watch it in person, I was like,
- 8:52Speaker 1: ooh yeah, man, like boy, I gotta get more monologues
- 8:56Speaker 1: in on Rogers. He's not gonna be around very much longer.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Holy crap, man a lot with the last twenty years
- 9:01Speaker 1: of my life talking about his cat Rodgers and who
- 9:03Speaker 1: man and just grumpy, your typical one. Things aren't going well.
- 9:07Speaker 1: You're disengaged, you're not fired up here. He's like trying
- 9:11Speaker 1: to do a fill in for a Sesame Street character
- 9:14Speaker 1: Oscar the Grouch, grouchy, grouchy, grouchy, grouchy, grouchy man a lot.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Let's they were playing in a swamp. The Steelers' offense, nothing,
- 9:24Speaker 1: nothing going on. Third down for Aaron Rodgers. It was bad.
- 9:28Speaker 1: So they had that limited edition orthopedic shoe for Rogers,
- 9:32Speaker 1: and you half expected him in the third quarter just
- 9:35Speaker 1: to crawl back into the trash can the way that
- 9:39Speaker 1: he was playing, and of course see what it was.
- 9:41Speaker 1: He distracted because you know, his imaginary wife was there,
- 9:44Speaker 1: maybe his real wife, I don't know, who knows he's
- 9:46Speaker 1: in your house in Malibu. Although I think he's moving.
- 9:48Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with that. But it's
- 9:50Speaker 1: week ten. There are no more excuse like the first
- 9:54Speaker 1: five weeks. Wo it's early, We'll figure it out. Nothing
- 9:57Speaker 1: to worry about. It's weak ten. We are past the
- 10:01Speaker 1: midway point. What are you doing? This is who you are.
- 10:05Speaker 1: The trade deadline is over. There's no reinforcements coming in
- 10:08Speaker 1: to save the day. This is what you got. Now
- 10:12Speaker 1: are we discounting the Chargers? Here? Are the Chargers a
- 10:15Speaker 1: really good defense? Then we're like they're good defense? I
- 10:18Speaker 1: don't know. I would say really good, and I would
- 10:20Speaker 1: argue based on both watching the game on the monitor
- 10:24Speaker 1: and I'm flipping down with my own eyeballs. It seemed
- 10:27Speaker 1: more case of these were self inflicted wounds by the
- 10:31Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers in this game. So, using the Malor scale
- 10:36Speaker 1: of concern, the Malor scale of concern one to ten,
- 10:42Speaker 1: with ten being the worst of the worst of the worst,
- 10:47Speaker 1: I'm at a nine. I'm at a nine. Am I
- 10:50Speaker 1: being a prisoner of the moment? Probably so? Probably so?
- 10:53Speaker 1: But I'm at a nine. I just I'm telling you
- 10:55Speaker 1: what I just watched. That is not a guy that's
- 10:57Speaker 1: gonna win a playoff game. That is not a guy.
- 11:00Speaker 1: It looks like he's even gonna make the playoffs. That
- 11:02Speaker 1: was bad. That was bad on That's one game. Blah
- 11:05Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. But that's all I
- 11:07Speaker 1: have to do this show right now, It's all I
- 11:09Speaker 1: have to go out. He sucked. Rogers was garbage in
- 11:13Speaker 1: that game, okay, And if this keeps up, forget a quarterback,
- 11:17Speaker 1: coach or a wide receiver. He's gonna need a lifeguard
- 11:20Speaker 1: because he's drowning. The whole offense is drowning out. There
- 11:23Speaker 1: was a gigantic turn Berger is what they served up there.
- 11:27Speaker 1: And Rogers now, he said after the game that he
- 11:28Speaker 1: feels good and that he'll play better and he's gonna
- 11:33Speaker 1: do better decision making and all that. You know, come on,
- 11:36Speaker 1: all right now, turning the page. As for the big
- 11:39Speaker 1: picture again, better story in the losing locker room now.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin also said, regarding the situation, the steels are
- 11:47Speaker 1: and he said, there's quote nothing mystical about it. He said,
- 11:52Speaker 1: he says we'll be back, he claimed, will be better.
- 11:55Speaker 1: We have to be close. Quote from the very verbose
- 12:00Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. A good SoundBite, really good sound bite, Mike
- 12:03Speaker 1: tom top five sound bite coach. We don't do lists.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I'm just saying, top five sound bite coach. Big board,
- 12:09Speaker 1: not list, big board not list. So the question here
- 12:13Speaker 1: it is how much stalk? How much stalk do you
- 12:16Speaker 1: put into Mike Tomlin promising that these Steelers will be back,
- 12:21Speaker 1: will be back? Is the quote for Mike Tomlin. So
- 12:24Speaker 1: my first reaction, much like when Aaron Rodgers says, hey, uh,
- 12:27Speaker 1: you know, I feel good, we'll play better, when Mike
- 12:29Speaker 1: Tomlin says something similar, it's like, well, what else you
- 12:33Speaker 1: supposed to say? Like you imagine if Tomlin had come
- 12:36Speaker 1: out as the coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers and say,
- 12:38Speaker 1: well we stink boys, we'll just shut it down and
- 12:41Speaker 1: get ready for next year. Load management, lot management. He
- 12:45Speaker 1: can't say that, So it's coach speak. One oh one,
- 12:48Speaker 1: you gotta say something. And so we'll be back as
- 12:50Speaker 1: just Tom Linese. What is tomlines? It's a we're not
- 12:55Speaker 1: going to forfeit yet. Now we're not. We just decided
- 12:58Speaker 1: not to forfeit. We'll try to play the game. Can congratulations.
- 13:01Speaker 1: So the Steelers are going to show up next week
- 13:04Speaker 1: and the Steelers can say hellllelujah, hellllelujah. Now, why can't
- 13:09Speaker 1: they say halluh? The problem is not the pep talk.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Pep talk really means all that much. It's the quality
- 13:18Speaker 1: control of the product. It has not been consistent. The
- 13:20Speaker 1: defense was atrocious the beginning of the year. The defense
- 13:23Speaker 1: has played a little bit better now. The offense falls
- 13:25Speaker 1: apart one thing. It's like playing whack a mole, like
- 13:29Speaker 1: you got one problem, you slap that down, and then
- 13:31Speaker 1: another one pops up over he way. I only got
- 13:34Speaker 1: two halves, I only got two hours what he's supposed
- 13:36Speaker 1: to do. And so Rogers looked like watching him play
- 13:41Speaker 1: in the first half of that game and into the
- 13:44Speaker 1: third quarter, it looked like he had gone out prior
- 13:48Speaker 1: to the game and he was tailgating with like Joe Rogan,
- 13:52Speaker 1: even though Rogan lives in Texas, but they some maybe
- 13:54Speaker 1: flew out to La They were tailgating. They had like
- 13:56Speaker 1: a frosty mug of ayahuasca. And Rogers went out there
- 14:00Speaker 1: and he was seeing demons to the right and he
- 14:02Speaker 1: was seeing aliens to the left, and it was wild,
- 14:07Speaker 1: wild goes spook. It was a comedy of errors is
- 14:14Speaker 1: what it was. And now the good news is and
- 14:17Speaker 1: I said, hallelujah, the good news is up next be
- 14:21Speaker 1: ben Gals. They suck. If you don't have success in
- 14:25Speaker 1: offense against the Cincinnati Bengals, then you might want to
- 14:29Speaker 1: go and get your pulse checked because you might be dead. Okay,
- 14:32Speaker 1: they suck. So that's the good news. That's the silver
- 14:35Speaker 1: lining playbook for Mike Tomlin and for Aaron Rodgers. You
- 14:39Speaker 1: got Cincinnati their easy mark. You still got to show up.
- 14:42Speaker 1: You gotta win the game. You'll get a focused Pittsburgh
- 14:45Speaker 1: team next week. The question is is this going to
- 14:48Speaker 1: be what Rogers is the rest of the way. Who knows,
- 14:53Speaker 1: But Mike Tomlin can talk about and he loves the quote.
- 14:56Speaker 1: The standard is the standard. It's the iconic Mike Tomlin
- 15:00Speaker 1: quote from his time in Pittsburgh with the if you
- 15:02Speaker 1: look at the drive through menu board right now, if
- 15:05Speaker 1: you look at the drive through menu board there it
- 15:08Speaker 1: says here and you can look at up it says
- 15:09Speaker 1: a standard lately has been mediocrity. And then they've got
- 15:14Speaker 1: a side dish with the combo on the drive through menu.
- 15:17Speaker 1: You've got mediocrity and then a side of false hope
- 15:21Speaker 1: aside of false hope. So you've got a little bit
- 15:23Speaker 1: of that, a little bit of this. It's all kind
- 15:25Speaker 1: of mixed agether now the last word among and I
- 15:28Speaker 1: did see this. It was multitasking and people were telling
- 15:32Speaker 1: me old stories that they didn't really want to hear,
- 15:34Speaker 1: but they kept on me anyway. The other storyline was
- 15:38Speaker 1: the crowd and it's not new. It's been this way
- 15:42Speaker 1: ever since the NFL left Los Angeles for a generation
- 15:46Speaker 1: and came back. Certain teams that have a rich history
- 15:51Speaker 1: packed the stadium, in this case the Pittsburgh Steelers. It
- 15:55Speaker 1: might as well have been in the confluence there with
- 15:59Speaker 1: the they formed the Ohio River, the Monongahela and the
- 16:03Speaker 1: Alleghany give birth to a baby might as well have
- 16:06Speaker 1: had that. They had a little man made lake out front.
- 16:08Speaker 1: So far that they have there. But the NBC cameras
- 16:12Speaker 1: you couldn't help but miss it. You couldn't. You couldn't
- 16:16Speaker 1: avoid it, is what I'm trying to say. The cameras
- 16:18Speaker 1: showed and now we were shocked by it, shouldn't be
- 16:21Speaker 1: shocked by it was happens every time they play a
- 16:24Speaker 1: legacy team like the Packers. Steelers of the forty nine
- 16:27Speaker 1: ers teams that have huge followings. So the cameras kept
- 16:30Speaker 1: showing these Steeler fans waving the terrible towels, and a
- 16:35Speaker 1: buddy of mine in the press box is like, hey,
- 16:37Speaker 1: did they give those out? I said, why would they
- 16:39Speaker 1: give out terrible towels? That's a Pittsburgh thing, you dummy.
- 16:44Speaker 1: They don't give those out. But it looked like it
- 16:46Speaker 1: was saying a promotion. Everyone had one. Everyone had a
- 16:50Speaker 1: Terrible towel. At one point, I think the Charger fans
- 16:53Speaker 1: started holding them up. They were like, hey, they're yellow.
- 16:56Speaker 1: We'll make it about that. And so you had Mike
- 17:00Speaker 1: Rico on the broadcast. He said, and he was being
- 17:02Speaker 1: generous when he said sixty five percent. He estimated a
- 17:05Speaker 1: pro Steeler crowd as sixty five percent. Other estimates said
- 17:09Speaker 1: seventy percent. I did the malor math and I was there,
- 17:13Speaker 1: so boots on the ground, I said seventy five percent
- 17:16Speaker 1: Steeler fans seventy five percent. The place was packed. It
- 17:21Speaker 1: was absolutely packed. Everyone in the house there with the
- 17:25Speaker 1: black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black
- 17:27Speaker 1: and yellow all that. So the question is this embarrassing
- 17:33Speaker 1: for the NFL that you have an Island game, Island Game,
- 17:38Speaker 1: Sunday Night football. Yet again, Chargers there, and they've been
- 17:42Speaker 1: in LA for a while now, and they have not
- 17:44Speaker 1: been able to develop a fan base in LA. And
- 17:48Speaker 1: here's the latest example example. A your honor the defense
- 17:52Speaker 1: now rest, so listen. It is I would not say
- 17:57Speaker 1: it's embarrassing. I'm looking. I'm not gonna use the word embarrassing.
- 17:59Speaker 1: The word that should be used here, and I like words.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Inevitable is the word I will use. So I'm gonna
- 18:04Speaker 1: use the word inevitable. And the reason I'm using the
- 18:06Speaker 1: word inevable. The Chargers ghosted San Diego. You know how
- 18:11Speaker 1: you're sending you a date and you might just yeah,
- 18:14Speaker 1: you go out and date, you get a free meal,
- 18:16Speaker 1: you blow the other person off. I'm gonna contact them again.
- 18:18Speaker 1: So the Chargers ghosted the city of San Diego. Now
- 18:21Speaker 1: you know some of you know I started in radio
- 18:23Speaker 1: in San Diego. I was there as a young lad.
- 18:25Speaker 1: The Chargers got to a Super Bowl. The town was electric.
- 18:29Speaker 1: It was a loyal fan base of Charger fans in
- 18:32Speaker 1: San Diego. And the franchise, the Spanos family, said screw you,
- 18:36Speaker 1: We're done. That's it. And so they and I know this.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I've had this explained to me by some people that
- 18:43Speaker 1: work for the Chargers years ago. When they first came
- 18:45Speaker 1: to LA. They said, listen, we're gonna get a certain
- 18:48Speaker 1: percentage of people that are going to drive up from
- 18:51Speaker 1: San Diego, and they're gonna make the drive every Sunday.
- 18:54Speaker 1: It's gonna be a thing. And then they're gonna go back.
- 18:56Speaker 1: And so they figured they'd have that, and then they'd
- 19:00Speaker 1: adds slowly, they'd add fans in LA. Could not have
- 19:03Speaker 1: been more wrong, could not have been more wrong. I
- 19:06Speaker 1: love when really educated people who have gone through all
- 19:10Speaker 1: of academia have had all that crap and they just
- 19:13Speaker 1: are complete morons people. There's a few Charger fans that
- 19:18Speaker 1: make the trip up in San Diego, very few. The
- 19:21Speaker 1: town's pretty much like, screw you, we hate all things LA.
- 19:24Speaker 1: We're not going up there. You people come down here
- 19:26Speaker 1: on the weekends and run amok in our city. So
- 19:29Speaker 1: we're out. And so you can't just reboot a fan
- 19:34Speaker 1: base like you can reboot a computer or a phone.
- 19:38Speaker 1: It's not the way it works. Obviously. You certainly can't
- 19:40Speaker 1: get all of a sudden loyal large numbers of loyal fans.
- 19:43Speaker 1: There are loyal Charger fans, it's just not many, not
- 19:47Speaker 1: many of them. And you know, San Diego say what
- 19:50Speaker 1: you want, military towns, surfer town, all that. But they
- 19:53Speaker 1: did love the Chargers. They did, and they were rewarded
- 19:56Speaker 1: with the bird from the NFL and from the Spanos family. Well,
- 20:01Speaker 1: the reality is hardly anybody cares about the Chargers in LA.
- 20:04Speaker 1: They're just kind of background noise, if you will, in
- 20:08Speaker 1: between commercials and they pop up and you're like, why
- 20:10Speaker 1: is the Charger game? I don't want to watch the
- 20:11Speaker 1: Charger game. Why don't we get another game? Well, that's
- 20:13Speaker 1: the game because they're in LA, so you get to
- 20:15Speaker 1: charge again. But I don't want to charge again. But
- 20:16Speaker 1: that's the game. That's what you get. Nine years they've
- 20:20Speaker 1: been back. It's been nine years already. The Chargers have
- 20:22Speaker 1: been back in LA and most of the time they're
- 20:26Speaker 1: playing road games and it doesn't affect the outcome. And
- 20:29Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say people make a big deal about it.
- 20:32Speaker 1: They love to talk about home field. It doesn't The
- 20:34Speaker 1: Chargers won this game. It was a Steeler home game.
- 20:37Speaker 1: The Rams win most of their home games when there's
- 20:40Speaker 1: other fans from the other teams. It doesn't matter. It
- 20:42Speaker 1: feels good if you're a fan of another team. Like
- 20:44Speaker 1: I know the Niner fans love when they come to
- 20:46Speaker 1: La to play the Rams and it's like a Niner
- 20:48Speaker 1: home game. They love it. Ms win most of the time.
- 20:51Speaker 1: When the other team has more fans than the Chargers,
- 20:53Speaker 1: it doesn't affect him. But it does take at least
- 20:56Speaker 1: a generation, at least a generation to cultivate, to grow.
- 21:02Speaker 1: If you're a Farmer, it takes a generation to grow
- 21:06Speaker 1: on fan base. Right, twenty years, it's been nine, So
- 21:08Speaker 1: if you do the math on that, eleven more years.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Holy crap, we're looking at twenty thirty six, twenty thirty
- 21:15Speaker 1: six before you start to feel any kind of local,
- 21:18Speaker 1: local family. And that's the kids that became charge of
- 21:21Speaker 1: fans that now have become adults and then they're starting
- 21:24Speaker 1: families and crap like that. That's what that is. Now,
- 21:27Speaker 1: you can fast track it. You can fast track it
- 21:30Speaker 1: the way you would fast track it is to win
- 21:32Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls. Because everyone's a front runner.
- 21:34Speaker 1: Everyone's a band wagner, as Blair and Maine likes to say,
- 21:37Speaker 1: And so you can zip things along a little faster.
- 21:40Speaker 1: The Chargers don't look like a super Bowl team to me?
- 21:42Speaker 1: Do they look like a super Bowl team to you?
- 21:44Speaker 1: They don't look like a super Bowl team to me.
- 21:45Speaker 1: They like a typical middle of the pack good team,
- 21:48Speaker 1: not great team where five things happen, right, meaning a
- 21:52Speaker 1: couple of quarterbacks break their ankles or whatever, you could
- 21:56Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. Other than that, eh, they'll
- 22:00Speaker 1: win their ten or eleven games, and they'll be a
- 22:02Speaker 1: playoff team and they're losing the first or the second
- 22:04Speaker 1: weekend of the NFL playoffs, and that'll be that. And
- 22:07Speaker 1: so meanwhile, the Steeler fans generation, which under the mathot
- 22:11Speaker 1: so nineteen seventies, the great Steeler teams with Terry Bradshaw
- 22:15Speaker 1: on that great defense. And so you fast forward out
- 22:19Speaker 1: for those people in the seventies had kids, so then
- 22:22Speaker 1: they became adults in the nineties. So then those people
- 22:26Speaker 1: they had kids maybe in the twenty tens, right, So
- 22:31Speaker 1: now we're on to another generation of Steeler fans. And
- 22:34Speaker 1: it was crazy, man, I was looking around. I want
- 22:36Speaker 1: to I saw her buddy, Eddie, the Great Eddie Garcia
- 22:39Speaker 1: caught up with him. Had a little pow wow with
- 22:40Speaker 1: Eddie down there he had full Steeler gear on I
- 22:43Speaker 1: couldn't find him because he had full steeler gear. If
- 22:45Speaker 1: you want to stand out, you should want to charge
- 22:47Speaker 1: your jersey. I would have found him right away, King
- 22:50Speaker 1: Eddy right there. But it was like a black and yellow,
- 22:52Speaker 1: black and yellow circus. It was like Halloween had continued
- 22:56Speaker 1: here and it was like a pajama party mixed with Halloween.
- 22:59Speaker 1: There were dudes with homemade costumes. It was pretty pretty intense.
- 23:04Speaker 3: Man.
- 23:04Speaker 1: These guys have spent a lot of time and effort
- 23:06Speaker 1: to come up with the right look. And now some
- 23:08Speaker 1: of it was store bought, you know. Some of it
- 23:10Speaker 1: was just what you can find online. But it looked
- 23:12Speaker 1: like there were some things I had never seen before.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I saw a lot of Steely McBean, which is I
- 23:18Speaker 1: thought that was kind of have a mascot. Eddie hated
- 23:20Speaker 1: the mascot. But I saw a lot of shirts with
- 23:21Speaker 1: Steely McBean on it and all that stuff. So anyway,
- 23:24Speaker 1: there's the deal. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
- 23:27Speaker 1: you'd like to be part eight seven, seven ninety nine
- 23:30Speaker 1: on five, anything goes. Obviously we'll focus on the Sunday
- 23:32Speaker 1: Night game here, but we had a full card. Another
- 23:35Speaker 1: win for the Patriots. Another win for the Colts, so
- 23:37Speaker 1: they had to go to overtime in Berlin to begin
- 23:40Speaker 1: the day. The Ravens are in really good shape. In fact,
- 23:43Speaker 1: straight ahead. It is amazing poetry. It is amazing poetry.
- 23:48Speaker 1: We'll explain what that is all about. We'll get to it.
- 23:51Speaker 1: We'll take your phone calls, the whole thing, and we
- 23:52Speaker 1: will do it next.

- 25:59Speaker 1: to it all, right, back to what we go as
- 26:03Speaker 1: we are just beginning the brand new week and the
- 26:09Speaker 1: natives are restless. Ferg Dog says, stop making fun of
- 26:13Speaker 1: the lack of charger fans at so far, there were
- 26:16Speaker 1: plenty of us there. Maybe you were just looking in
- 26:18Speaker 1: the wrong place. It would be a wise move. I
- 26:23Speaker 1: think the charger fans that showed up that was a
- 26:27Speaker 1: mistake because you're better off selling it. You could get
- 26:32Speaker 1: three or four times the money for face value the
- 26:36Speaker 1: secondary mark. The upper bowl tickets like near the near
- 26:39Speaker 1: the Pearly gates were going for four hundred dollars. My god,
- 26:44Speaker 1: what else do you have to see that page? Van
- 26:46Speaker 1: Andrea points out that just a reminder from the Astrology Insider.
- 26:51Speaker 1: She says, mercury retrograde November ninth through the twenty ninth,
- 26:57Speaker 1: All Aaron Rodgers, what while that's why Rogers wrote devinement comment,
- 27:02Speaker 1: That's why he rode Devin comment right there, what else
- 27:06Speaker 1: do I see? Page Dan, We'll skip over that one.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Curtis right, sin Athough, I think he misspelled his own name,
- 27:16Speaker 1: says the biggest thing standing in the way of the
- 27:18Speaker 1: Chargers having a bigger fan base is the Rams. There's
- 27:22Speaker 1: enough people in LA for two teams. It's a massive metropolis.
- 27:25Speaker 1: There's plenty of people in LA. Matt Jack says, I
- 27:28Speaker 1: used to live in San Diego, but you didn't have
- 27:30Speaker 1: to live there to see the TV that the Packers
- 27:34Speaker 1: and other legacy teams would drown out Charger fans at
- 27:36Speaker 1: Qualcomm in San Diego. That is true, Jack, but it
- 27:40Speaker 1: was never like this. It was never like this. It
- 27:43Speaker 1: was never to that level. So it's just a whole
- 27:47Speaker 1: different stratosphere where we are right now. Brock says, Aaron
- 27:51Speaker 1: Rodgers is washed. He points that out. Doc Dan checks
- 27:55Speaker 1: in from Minnesota. He says, it's the Toronto Tempo, the
- 27:59Speaker 1: world first game ever for a team. I don't know,
- 28:04Speaker 1: I don't know what that. I don't know what you're
- 28:05Speaker 1: talking about. I have no idea your fomi sending some
- 28:07Speaker 1: random Ryan or Aaron Rodgers nonsense. Who's your Bill says
- 28:11Speaker 1: Andrea the Astrology Insider is cool. Let's go now for
- 28:16Speaker 1: a Pulse of the People report. We start out in
- 28:18Speaker 1: the leadoff chair. We go to a man who I
- 28:20Speaker 1: don't think it was there. I don't think he was
- 28:21Speaker 1: in attendance, but his heart was. We sailo to Sean
- 28:27Speaker 1: the Hood Guy, who's a longtime officionato of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hello,
- 28:33Speaker 1: Sean the Hood Guy, Welcome man.
- 28:35Speaker 6: It's not a good day, man. What embarrassment all that
- 28:39Speaker 6: at that whole game?
- 28:40Speaker 3: That was on?
- 28:41Speaker 6: Ann Rodgers Aaron Rodgers. You can't be coming to Kelly
- 28:44Speaker 6: and smoking that Kelly cush before you play a game,
- 28:46Speaker 6: because your mind was not on that game. Too many
- 28:50Speaker 6: the guy was getting sacked on the ball, look like
- 28:52Speaker 6: they didn't have no receivers. A throw to the defense
- 28:55Speaker 6: was kind of showing a little bit.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Of flashes, but it was there were guys all open
- 29:00Speaker 1: throughout the game. He just didn't find them. They were
- 29:02Speaker 1: they were there. I mean I saw him. Maybe it
- 29:05Speaker 1: was just in the press box, but it looked there
- 29:07Speaker 1: were guys that were open. He just wasn't making the
- 29:09Speaker 1: players to connect with them. So it's not like the
- 29:11Speaker 1: Chargers shut everyone down. They didn't. There were people open
- 29:15Speaker 1: and he just didn't didn't find them. So that's bad
- 29:19Speaker 1: job by him. But he was only sacked three times.
- 29:21Speaker 1: It seemed it seemed like he was sacked more than that.
- 29:23Speaker 6: But yeah, go ahead, that's a sorry performance.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Man.
- 29:26Speaker 6: Being a Steeler fan is like being on a magic
- 29:28Speaker 6: mountain ride. You get on too many rides, you're gonna
- 29:30Speaker 6: be sick. And the way they be raising my high
- 29:33Speaker 6: my blood pressure, my high blood press appeals should be
- 29:36Speaker 6: black and yellow because they be just having me sick.
- 29:39Speaker 6: They'd be spinning, like one day that we would have
- 29:41Speaker 6: a good game, then the next day we have a
- 29:43Speaker 6: bad game. So it's like my friend asked me, should
- 29:46Speaker 6: I've been on the Steelers this week? And I told
- 29:47Speaker 6: him no, I said. We beat the coach like that,
- 29:49Speaker 6: I said, but we bound to have a bad game
- 29:51Speaker 6: the next game. And they not looking in the rear
- 29:54Speaker 6: view mirror. The ravens is creeping up, and the guys
- 29:57Speaker 6: on TV and the suits they all talking about you.
- 29:58Speaker 6: They creeping up on the aren't creeping up on us?
- 30:01Speaker 6: And don't be surprised if we started dropping games and
- 30:03Speaker 6: they come right pastes and pass us uthing.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Well, they are the math on this, and that was
- 30:08Speaker 1: the teams showing the hood guys. So it's like poetry here.
- 30:11Speaker 1: The Ravens started one in five and at one in
- 30:15Speaker 1: five they were still the betting favorite to win the division.
- 30:17Speaker 1: It's almost like the gambling market knew something. The Ravens
- 30:21Speaker 1: now are one game back of your Steelers for first
- 30:24Speaker 1: place in the division, and the next five opponents for
- 30:27Speaker 1: the Ravens. If you look at the next five games,
- 30:30Speaker 1: there are against four sub five hundred teams and versus
- 30:33Speaker 1: the Steelers at home. That's what is up ahead for
- 30:36Speaker 1: the Ravens.
- 30:36Speaker 6: Sound like heat a schedule of me, man, But watching
- 30:39Speaker 6: that game. As soon as I got through watching, I
- 30:41Speaker 6: went to Instagram and then your picture was right there
- 30:44Speaker 6: waiting on me with you and Haiti right there. I know.
- 30:47Speaker 6: I got to hear from being the night.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, listen, your people were there. Shot.
- 30:52Speaker 1: I thought you might be there because there were nothing
- 30:54Speaker 1: but Steeler fans.
- 30:55Speaker 6: I came up there earlier, man, But I just stick
- 30:57Speaker 6: around for the game.
- 30:58Speaker 1: You just tailgated. You were right, You were bouncing around
- 31:00Speaker 1: the parking lot tail gaming. Is that what you were doing?
- 31:02Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 31:03Speaker 6: Okay, but I think I think that tickets was too high, man.
- 31:06Speaker 6: So I just socialized with a couple of fans and
- 31:08Speaker 6: I just left.
- 31:08Speaker 1: That's a smart move, that's a veteran move. You get
- 31:11Speaker 1: the you get the comforts a home, you save your money.
- 31:13Speaker 1: I would do the same thing absolutely.
- 31:16Speaker 6: All right man, all right, man.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Thank you. There's the Sewan, the hood guy checking in
- 31:20Speaker 1: the inside skinny right there. Jed who Fled? Where has
- 31:24Speaker 1: he been? I wondered, he must have had a probation
- 31:26Speaker 1: meeting or something last week. Only when he asked to
- 31:28Speaker 1: meet with this probation officer, he stops calling the show
- 31:30Speaker 1: for a week. He sobers up. Hello, Jed who Fled?
- 31:33Speaker 3: I thought, I thought, sure you were going to go
- 31:35Speaker 3: to me first, So I started, I'm barefooted walking around
- 31:38Speaker 3: in my yard and I had to go back to
- 31:40Speaker 3: my chair so I could put my hair back on
- 31:42Speaker 3: my feet while Sean went going on his call. One time,
- 31:45Speaker 3: Sean and I were going to play the game, and
- 31:47Speaker 3: you went to him first, and he said, was I
- 31:48Speaker 3: had to Helmie and you went to Jed who friend?
- 31:51Speaker 3: So I was like, I had to Holmie and you
- 31:52Speaker 3: were very uncomfortable because of the racial implications. And it
- 31:56Speaker 3: worked that well, because Shawn is an awesome guy and everything.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Last Monday, I had had to get you to the hospital.
- 32:02Speaker 3: I was at the promasion office and I was like, man,
- 32:05Speaker 3: my hospital's leaders and so I had had had had problems.
- 32:09Speaker 3: Went to the left of permation office, probasion officer starched

- 32:27Speaker 3: to the Bay County which is found on city Medicine

- 33:32Speaker 3: was like she asked the male guy who she's a
- 33:34Speaker 3: female film female probation officer, and I've been drinking instead
- 33:38Speaker 3: of doing other stuff. So that's my annunciation packs But

- 34:07Speaker 1: attack or did you just think you had you were
- 34:09Speaker 1: having a bad day.
- 34:12Speaker 3: The Sins Amendment gives me the right to not self
