Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up, Yay, Ralph.
Speaker 1: This is the time of year. We've got baseball.
Speaker 2: Going, we've got the Oh.
Speaker 1: And we've got football is back.
Speaker 3: Yes, it is college football too. I mean, you know
Speaker 3: they're both that's college and NFL are back ready to.
Speaker 2: Go tonight and they're they're.
Speaker 3: They're firing you up. So just like we are tonight.
Speaker 1: Exactly, it's time to be fired up. And it's a
Speaker 1: good thing. You know, it's been a long summer without football.
Speaker 1: I guess football. It's probably one of my favorite sports
Speaker 1: to watch.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: I even watch UFL. I love football. I mean I
Speaker 3: follow it. I talk about it. Right now, I'm reaching
Speaker 3: out to all the small colleges around western Pennsylvania. I
Speaker 3: had just about every coach on except iup, and now
Speaker 3: I have Gannon's coach coming on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: So nice, nice, Well, if you're not watching, if you're
Speaker 1: watching us, thank you, because then you're not watching some
Speaker 1: of this other But in the background, I have I
Speaker 1: have the Football Hall of Fame game on and right
Speaker 1: now it's forty five seconds left to go in the
Speaker 1: first half and it's Houston seventeen. The Bears fourteen. Now,
Speaker 1: I can tell you that none of the starters, none
Speaker 1: of the starters from either team played tonight. They said
Speaker 1: that this was an extra preseason game, so they were
Speaker 1: gonna let the second stringers and third stringers. You know,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are fighting for the job. So
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that.
Speaker 2: What's so, no, I don't. I don't either.
Speaker 3: The interesting part here is, Candy, is I want to
Speaker 3: see what's going to happen with this Russell Wilson Justin
Speaker 3: Fields thing. I mean, I was I'm on on Wednesday
Speaker 3: Nights with Jeremy on the Football round Table, and uh,
Speaker 3: you know that was. Of course, when you talk about
Speaker 3: the Bears, everybody talks about Justin Fields. Well, now that
Speaker 3: he's a Steeler and he's fighting for a job, I
Speaker 3: think Russell Wilson probably will be on a short leach.
Speaker 3: The good news here is is that the Steelers got
Speaker 3: him on the cheap thanks to Denver. Because Denver now
Speaker 3: is paying him thirty eight million dollars. We're only paying
Speaker 3: him a million and some change, okay, And we have
Speaker 3: Justin Fields, and we have Kyle Allen, and I keep
Speaker 3: telling everybody, and everybody's Kyle Allen. Oh, he said, you
Speaker 3: know what, Kyle Allen backed up Josh Allen up there
Speaker 3: in Buffalo and he did a good job of it
Speaker 3: too over the years. And also we have Ben Denucci
Speaker 3: now who's a former pit quarter back, played for Dallas,
Speaker 3: started down there and he's been around the league. So
Speaker 3: we got him back so here and with the Steelers
Speaker 3: because the guy that we got from Central Florida that
Speaker 3: we signed, that Parlay or Parlay or whatever his name was,
Speaker 3: he got drafted by the UFL. So now he can't
Speaker 3: play for the Steelers. So I haven't even looked. I
Speaker 3: haven't had really the time, but I will I haven't
Speaker 3: even looked at the UFL's college draft.
Speaker 2: I have to take a look at that.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, you know, mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: I think a couple of pit players were drafted. I
Speaker 2: have to take a look at that.
Speaker 3: And of course I keep my radar on for the
Speaker 3: pit players in in THEFL right now, so.
Speaker 1: You know, it's an interesting time. Obviously. One of the
Speaker 1: things the commenters we're talking about tonight is obviously the
Speaker 1: big news is like Caleb Williams and what is it
Speaker 1: going to do? And the thing is is he was
Speaker 1: drafted number one, and he they said they have surrounded
Speaker 1: him with more weapons than any other rookie has ever
Speaker 1: been surrounded by.
Speaker 3: My question, Candy, is this. You can have all the
Speaker 3: weapons in the world, you have all the great wide receivers,
Speaker 3: a great running backs, a great tight end, but if
Speaker 3: you don't have an offensive line to protect this kid,
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears are in a heap of trouble. And if
Speaker 3: Matt ever Fluss this year doesn't do well, he should
Speaker 3: be fired. Should have been fired after last year. Okay,
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on there with the Bears,
Speaker 3: And it's sad, Candy, because the Bears were a great
Speaker 3: organization at one time, and now they've just fallen down
Speaker 3: where every year they're ticking, they're picking number one, and
Speaker 3: that's sad.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's sad depending on what viewpoint you're taking.
Speaker 1: I'm from the NFC North, My team is there, so
Speaker 1: I'm okay with Chicago Lake Taka right being sad.
Speaker 3: Totally like Jeremy he's with Detroit, so I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: oh absolutely, yeah, right, yeah, I mean it was such
Speaker 3: a great organization over the years, Candy. That's the thing
Speaker 3: that upsets me. The most There's been some great coaches there,
Speaker 3: Papa Bear Hallis, Mike Ditka, Lovey Smith. I mean, there
Speaker 3: was some just some really good coaches there over the years,
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden it's just went down to
Speaker 3: toilet over the last ten or fifteen or more years now,
Speaker 3: it's been it has you know, it's sad for a
Speaker 3: great organization like that. And I mean green Bay has
Speaker 3: managed when they hired Matt Lafleur, they've managed to keep
Speaker 3: it stable even without Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know correct, which is kind of funny
Speaker 1: that you bring up Aaron Rodgers. Have you seen some
Speaker 1: of this in what should I say? They've been talking
Speaker 1: about it and showing it on TV, how he's having
Speaker 1: passionate conversations with Wilson. They saying that they're not necessarily
Speaker 1: getting along, and they're both coming out and saying, oh no,
Speaker 1: it's us trying to help each other and grow each other.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I.
Speaker 3: Think I think he's full of blowny. You know too,
Speaker 3: you know, I think he's full of blowny because you know,
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is gonna be Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he he.
Speaker 3: Kind of like has this ergant attitude like Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 3: once had.
Speaker 2: And you know, uh, and it bit Ben in the
Speaker 2: butt real bad.
Speaker 3: Okay. In this time, there were a lot of things
Speaker 3: that he did, and I know some people that he
Speaker 3: really screwed over, real bad in this hospitality business, because
Speaker 3: I was in that business. Okay, h going to places,
Speaker 3: you know, renting a room for a party, having this
Speaker 3: big party, spend one hundreds of dollars and not tipping
Speaker 3: the servers. You know, I'm Ben Roethlisberger, I should get
Speaker 3: my food for free. Argument managers, just it's just silly stuff.
Speaker 3: And then when that sex scandal came up, the Steelers
Speaker 3: were gonna trade him, and then they got him hooked
Speaker 3: up with the wife he has now, the woman he
Speaker 3: has none as his wife. They got him hooked up.
Speaker 3: She's a friend of the Rooneys, and they hooked him up.
Speaker 3: She's a Christian, and now he's he's a he's a
Speaker 3: Christian now and he has a family. And he changed
Speaker 3: his attitude, and the Steelers told him, next time we
Speaker 3: get anything like this that goes on, you're done.
Speaker 2: Okay. It's as simple as that.
Speaker 3: And you know, I blame Mike Tomlin for that because
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin just kind of let him do whatever he
Speaker 3: wanted because he was the starting quarterback here, and Mike
Speaker 3: Tomlin got lucky. You got a franchise quarterback to start
Speaker 3: his year year off when he first became head coach.
Speaker 3: You know, there's not too many coaches that can say that,
Speaker 3: you know, Nope. So but I agree with you on
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. I think he's full of blowna and I
Speaker 3: don't think I think he's done. You know, if you
Speaker 3: ask my opinion, I think he's done.
Speaker 1: I think he's definitely on the decline. Yes, I think
Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to see he says he's sealed, he's
Speaker 1: healed from the Achilles, But let's face it, as you ate,
Speaker 1: even in Achilles heel anything like that takes you a
Speaker 1: lot longer, and I think you're more prone to injuring
Speaker 1: it again. I guess we'll see how many plays he
Speaker 1: lasts this year.
Speaker 3: You know, I know wrestlers who wrestle in their fifties
Speaker 3: and sixties. Okay, I'll give you an example, Sting of
Speaker 3: sixty five, and he even came out and said, you know,
Speaker 3: when you get in your fifties and all that, it's
Speaker 3: hard to recover from injuries. Yeah, I mean he was
Speaker 3: off for months when he got hurt and when he
Speaker 3: was in his sixties, so I know what football players
Speaker 3: are like the same way. Why do you think now
Speaker 3: you got football players doing six and eight years and
Speaker 3: they're done. They're not hanging around any longer than that.
Speaker 3: I don't blame it because when I saw out of
Speaker 3: Mike Webster, I was his personal cab driver. What I
Speaker 3: saw out of Mike Webster I don't ever want to
Speaker 3: see from another football player again. Jeff Harding's a bunch
Speaker 3: of guys that we've had in the Steeler organization. A
Speaker 3: couple of them killed themselves because of this concussion stuff.
Speaker 3: Look at Junior say ah, I mean you know, and
Speaker 3: you're right, and there's not too many like Tom Brady's
Speaker 3: and Aaron Rodgers out there. Tom Brady still wants to
Speaker 3: play football.
Speaker 2: If I'm Tom.
Speaker 3: Brady, man, I'd soak it up and enjoy it. I
Speaker 3: would never go back on the field, you know, correct.
Speaker 1: Right, I wouldn't either. Let's face it, this is the
Speaker 1: weekend for the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's.
Speaker 1: Cool to see Stephen McMichael's get in.
Speaker 3: Long ago Yeah, it's said about his health condition and
Speaker 3: all that and what happened to him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's really cool they were saying. Adam Schefter
Speaker 1: was on earlier pregame and he was saying how they're
Speaker 1: gonna take the Hall of Fame ceremony to him and
Speaker 1: to his house. So all the bears are gonna go,
Speaker 1: the jacket's gonna go, the statute's gonna go, and they're
Speaker 1: gonna present it to him at his house, which I
Speaker 1: think is really cool and a good gesture.
Speaker 3: Did they have the ceremony already today?
Speaker 2: I this weekend?
Speaker 3: It's this weekend? I thought, so it's usually what Saturday
Speaker 3: or Sunday, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It started with tonight was the Hall of Fame game,
Speaker 1: so that you know, and then I believe Saturday is
Speaker 1: when they do the actual official ceremony.
Speaker 2: But I'll check it out.
Speaker 3: Depends on what time because I'm watching Summer Slave WWE, so.
Speaker 1: You know, yes, yes, but still it's it's cool to
Speaker 1: see football is back. Let's face it, there have been
Speaker 1: a lot of since we were last on. There have
Speaker 1: been a lot of quarterbacks that have gotten paid and
Speaker 1: gotten some nice They really are going to need to
Speaker 1: start to do something about these quarterbacks and the astronomical
Speaker 1: amount of money.
Speaker 3: Well, you do know, Kadie, and I don't know if
Speaker 3: you notice or not, you know that the owners want
Speaker 3: to have a quarterback salary, pecifically for the quarterbacks because
Speaker 3: of this out of control stuff. I mean, you got
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that are bumps literally getting paid a lot of money.
Speaker 3: Guys have never even been to Super Bowl, started maybe
Speaker 3: one season or whatever. No offense to Jordan Love, but
Speaker 3: look at Jordan Love. I mean he hasn't started that much.
Speaker 3: Look at the big money he's getting. And I keep
Speaker 3: using these two examples, Geno Smith and Daniel Jones, both
Speaker 3: of them have I mean that Gino Smith is okay,
Speaker 3: at least he's come around, but Daniel Jones has done nothing,
Speaker 3: and he's taking that money and walked away with it.
Speaker 3: And look at Kirk Cousins. I'd love to be his agent.
Speaker 3: You know the commission his agent makes on that.
Speaker 1: You're got Trevor Lawrence, he made a boatload.
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence is another one that's not really that proven.
Speaker 1: Made a lot of money. Yeah, you know, and he's injury.
Speaker 3: Prone, yes, yes, but yes, no, oh, they have to
Speaker 3: do something and you know what position nowadays candy gets
Speaker 3: unappreciated because it's a passing league. It's running backs. You know,
Speaker 3: the running backs are unappreciated, they really are, and they're
Speaker 3: lucky if they make it through a rookie contract with
Speaker 3: their way. They get beat up and everything. They should
Speaker 3: be paid somewhat a lot of money as well, you know,
Speaker 3: everybody should, you know. And I'm frustrated with this too,
Speaker 3: because the union should step in and say, hey, wait
Speaker 3: a minute, you can't really do that because you're you're
Speaker 3: pushing away the running backs. The wide receivers get paid
Speaker 3: a lot of money. You're pushing away to running backs.
Speaker 3: How about some of these offensive linemen that don't get
Speaker 3: paid a lot of money. How about tight ends? You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. You know other positions on the
Speaker 3: team that might not get a lot more money. And
Speaker 3: I get your quarterbacks. You're the captain of your ship
Speaker 3: on the offense, and I get that, but you know what,
Speaker 3: that's that's that's not fair, And I think the union
Speaker 3: should step in and say, hey, wait, whoa, whoa. If
Speaker 3: you're going to cap the quarterbacks, you know you've got
Speaker 3: to start paying more money to other people. You can't
Speaker 3: just you know what I mean, you know, but if
Speaker 3: they agree with this, I agree with you too. They
Speaker 3: need to do something because this is this is a
Speaker 3: runaway freight train that just isn't going to stop exactly.
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I'm don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm glad, Jordan Love, I'm glad people get are getting paid.
Speaker 1: But that is way too much money for someone that's
Speaker 1: not proven. Like you said, he hasn't started more than
Speaker 1: a year, you know, And I just don't understand. I
Speaker 1: do do to a certain extent. They think he's the future,
Speaker 1: and I get that, but he's getting paid what more
Speaker 1: than Mahomes.
Speaker 3: Who is yes, And Mahomes has been to the Super Bowl, right,
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know that's the point of the thing,
Speaker 3: is what I'm trying to say, He's been to the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. That's like coaches, you know, they go on
Speaker 3: and on candy about Mike Tomlin. Well, when was the
Speaker 3: last time Mike Tomlin won a playoff game? When was
Speaker 3: the last time Mike Tomlin went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin is the greatest coach in the world because
Speaker 3: he has the best off season regular season record in
Speaker 3: the League. Whoop do do you know? Bill Kayer once
Speaker 3: said this, Candy, if you're not in this to win
Speaker 3: Super Bowls, you don't need to be in it.
Speaker 2: That's as simple as that, you know. And you know,
Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing.
Speaker 3: About how great Mike Tomlin is when you're going to
Speaker 3: have nine and eight records except last year, and they
Speaker 3: just gave him a contract extension, and I hope that
Speaker 3: and I'm hearing stories this could be his last extension,
Speaker 3: this could be his last time. I think he'll get
Speaker 3: his twenty years.
Speaker 2: And walk away. I hope, I really hope, and you know,
Speaker 2: and pray.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I mean, I feel bad. There's there's
Speaker 1: some injury news that has already come out. Justin Herbert
Speaker 1: is now planters.
Speaker 3: Flat fasciata fasci itis. Right, we have a.
Speaker 2: Catcher on the Pirates that has.
Speaker 1: That that that can be very painful, and he's out
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: Can't couldn't pronounce it's what what's it called, sweetheart, It's
Speaker 3: called plan Enter's fasci itis. My uh, my wife's mom
Speaker 3: used to be a no our nurse, so she knows
Speaker 3: all those terms. So yes, oh she has it too.
Speaker 3: My wife has it.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: And now they're saying Geno Smith is dealing with nip,
Speaker 1: knee and hip issues at training camp, which will force
Speaker 1: him to miss at least the next two practices.
Speaker 3: Well, we just lost Rome and Wilson to an ankle injury,
Speaker 3: and he's supposed to be a number two receiver.
Speaker 1: How about how about DeAndre Hopkins is dealing with a
Speaker 1: strained knee that could sideline him for four to six weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So these.
Speaker 1: Are some big names going down already.
Speaker 3: And Russell Wilson has a calf injury. Because I don't
Speaker 3: know what's going on with the strength and conditioning coach
Speaker 3: with the Steelers.
Speaker 2: We have a new one.
Speaker 3: Because our the guy that we had retired, he's been
Speaker 3: around for sixty years, John Norwich, he retired and they
Speaker 3: brought in this other guy, and he's got him pushing
Speaker 3: a sled. I'm like, what the heck are you pushing
Speaker 3: a sled? You know and causing this problem. He immediately
Speaker 3: should have been fired. I mean, because you don't have
Speaker 3: quarterbacks pushing sleds. I mean, you just don't do that.
Speaker 1: No, And when you look at like Justin Herbert you
Speaker 1: feel bad because it's a whole coaching staff and here
Speaker 1: he's trying to learn a whole new system and now
Speaker 1: he can't he can't even practice.
Speaker 2: He can't practice, right.
Speaker 3: I feel bad for the kid because, you know what,
Speaker 3: he's a good quarterback and he had Brandon Staley as
Speaker 3: his coach, and you know, I feel bad for him.
Speaker 3: Now He's got an ideal offensive coach in Jim Harbaugh
Speaker 3: that that could help him excel, and now all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, you know, he's hurt now. And I agree
Speaker 3: with you, Candy. I feel bad for the kid, for
Speaker 3: the kid because of you know, the situation, you know.
Speaker 1: And let's I'm just reading this and granted this is
Speaker 1: this is a couple hours old at this point, but
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's running back Deonta Foreman was x expected to
Speaker 1: be released from the hospital Thursday after sustaining a neck
Speaker 1: injury during a kickoff drill in practice. Foreman was mobilized
Speaker 1: on the field Thursday morning and flown by helicopter from
Speaker 1: the Browns training camp. So that's sad. Let's hope that
Speaker 1: everything the X rays were negative and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Let's hope he's okay. You never like to see injuries,
Speaker 1: especially during training camp.
Speaker 3: You know, especially teams who are sad like Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 3: the Bears, some of these teams that are now trying
Speaker 3: to rebuild and relying on the draft and got new coaches. Okay,
Speaker 3: what they what? They can't afford to have injuries because
Speaker 3: they're trying to build rebuild. You know, look at Dave
Speaker 3: Canelis with Carolina. He can't afford to have injuries. He
Speaker 3: has to He's got to get that team back up
Speaker 3: and and and for goodness sake, I don't know why
Speaker 3: he ever took that job.
Speaker 1: Adam Bluestein, Hello, Hey Adam, thank you for turning in tonight,
Speaker 1: especially since I know that you know football is up.
Speaker 1: Oh question question for Candy. What kind of sub did
Speaker 1: you have to night? I know Scott got the turkey,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I had. I know a lot of times.
Speaker 1: I have the Italian b MT.
Speaker 3: That's what That's what my wife eats. She loves the
Speaker 3: Italian b m T. She gets that all the time.
Speaker 3: At Subway.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's my favor.
Speaker 2: I get this.
Speaker 3: I get the Ultimate cheese steak where I get the
Speaker 3: meatball sub one of it. I get those I like
Speaker 3: their tuna too. I eat their tuna now since I've
Speaker 3: been trying to watch my way a little bit, I
Speaker 3: eat the tuna.
Speaker 1: I knew it. I love the Italian awesome. Well, thank you, Adam. Yes,
Speaker 1: have you.
Speaker 3: Tried those long like the pretzel and andy pretzel or no,
Speaker 3: we have been the subway in a while.
Speaker 1: The sure all the ruttel or the cookie. But now
Speaker 1: the cookie is thirteen one hundred and thirty calories for that.
Speaker 3: Pool Like, oh, thirteen and thirty calories for that cookie?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, no, I I was looking at it and
Speaker 1: they have those the roll up things to the dippers.
Speaker 2: Yes, I saw those four.
Speaker 1: Hundred calories a piece. I'm like, that's a lot to
Speaker 1: watch my calories and intake. So but let's fay. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we talked to football. It's back on. Let's see.
Speaker 1: I was asking Scott earlier, but he didn't know. What
Speaker 1: kind of camera do you have to do your sports photography?
Speaker 1: I have a cannon.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say canon.
Speaker 3: It's probably the best one to have if you're into photography.
Speaker 3: I know because I DJ weddings and stuff. I know
Speaker 3: photographers that use that. That's all they use is canon.
Speaker 3: I don't think I've seen one that didn't have one.
Speaker 1: There are other ones out there, but yeah, my trust
Speaker 1: the old canon is good.
Speaker 3: With the end, I forget the name of that camera.
Speaker 2: Nikon. Yeah, Nikon is a good one. Yeah, oh, excellent.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them that have come out into
Speaker 1: the market that are newer, and you know, and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to say they're necessarily better, but they have
Speaker 1: new gadgets, new new technology. Obviously, let's face it, technology.
Speaker 1: Anything you buy electronic now is out a date within
Speaker 1: like what two weeks.
Speaker 2: It seems good the way.
Speaker 3: They're the way they're making new electronics. Here's the thing
Speaker 3: that bothers me to get away from a sports topic
Speaker 3: a minute. I brought this up on Wednesday on my
Speaker 3: Ralph's Opinion show. How in the world did you get lost? Now?
Speaker 3: With all this GPS technology, How in the in the
Speaker 3: world do you get lost?
Speaker 1: I just don't get it, you know, unless your GPS
Speaker 1: can't find you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you Garment probably is gone out of business,
Speaker 3: and so those other ones because you have GPS now
Speaker 3: on your phone.
Speaker 2: I mean, I use my phone.
Speaker 3: I have a garment GPS, but I used the one
Speaker 3: on my phone, but just fired it up after I
Speaker 3: switched vehicles.
Speaker 1: I will tell you I have it had been a
Speaker 1: while since I have used my garment. We do have
Speaker 1: a garment, and I use my phone a lot. But
Speaker 1: I will tell you when we traveled and we went
Speaker 1: north of Niagara Falls into Canada, we didn't want to
Speaker 1: use the GPS on our phones because you are roaming,
Speaker 1: you are in you are no longer in the US,
Speaker 1: and so a lot of your phones you get charged
Speaker 1: a lot differently. So with the garment, you don't get charged.
Speaker 1: So we went back to the garment at that point.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, so we were happy we had taken that.
Speaker 1: So but yes, I agree for the most part. Why
Speaker 1: would you get lost.
Speaker 3: Any I can't understand that. I just don't get it.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's something that bothers me. I mean I
Speaker 3: get people that I have like turtles because they have
Speaker 3: no clue where they're going and then put on this
Speaker 3: last minute turn signal and going like this, and I'm
Speaker 3: like how how in the world?
Speaker 1: But those might might be people that only have footphones
Speaker 1: yet and they still don't have GPS on them.
Speaker 3: You never know. Yeah, that that too, and also too
Speaker 3: everybody's too busy on TikTok.
Speaker 1: Well that's true, they're too busy on their.
Speaker 2: Phone to look on their phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's That's one of my biggest pet peeves
Speaker 1: is people that are like on Facebook are looking at
Speaker 1: you know, and it's like, wait a minute, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be driving a motor vehicle. What's going on?
Speaker 3: You know? So, and we're talking about everything that I Candy,
Speaker 3: We're talking about subway sandwiches and people that do not
Speaker 3: use GPS all times of medical terms. I mean, we're
Speaker 3: you know, we're on our rule tonight.
Speaker 1: We are, we are what we're fired up on all Yes,
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 3: We're fired up big time. I'm always fired up on
Speaker 3: this program, in every program.
Speaker 1: So tell me, Ralph. The baseball trade deadline came in
Speaker 1: passed this week. What was one of the biggest trades
Speaker 1: you think that happened that you liked or didn't like?
Speaker 1: Either way?
Speaker 2: Well, I really didn't take much look at it.
Speaker 3: I watched a little bit of the Baseball Network, the
Speaker 3: MLB Network a little bit. I really don't know, because Candy,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to say that I really don't know, because
Speaker 3: I really didn't pay much attention to it. Now, my
Speaker 3: caregiver does. He pays attention to baseball a lot, and
Speaker 3: he was telling me all the stuff that was going on.
Speaker 3: But I really haven't paid much attention to it, and
Speaker 3: I haven't gotten into it yet.
Speaker 2: In fact, I haven't.
Speaker 3: Even I have a guest coming on on Tuesday. Possibly
Speaker 3: that's going to break down all that for me, you know.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I just I didn't pay much attention to it.
Speaker 3: I'll get it.
Speaker 2: I have to look at it eventually, you know.
Speaker 3: Getting this new van and everything, it was just the
Speaker 3: kind of threw me off a little bit on some things.
Speaker 1: No I understand. So one of the big trades, I
Speaker 1: would say is the Yankees traded to get Jazz Chisholm
Speaker 1: from the Marlins.
Speaker 3: And yeah, we were supposed to trade for him the
Speaker 3: Pirates and he was on our list and we blew it.
Speaker 3: We laid an egg, but we got that Della cruise.
Speaker 3: It sounds like he's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: You know, he is gonna be okay. I think what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is, since I've covered the Marlins quite
Speaker 1: a bit, and especially since I'm a photographer, I'm in
Speaker 1: the photo well, and I'm in right by the dugout,
Speaker 1: so I can see them interacting and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I think Jazz has such a personality that New York
Speaker 1: will fit him and him and let's face it, in
Speaker 1: the first three games he's played, he's already hit four
Speaker 1: home runs for them, So back to I mean, if
Speaker 1: you think about who do you want to pitch to,
Speaker 1: Judge or him now like they're going back to back,
Speaker 1: I would. He's in a really good situation for him,
Speaker 1: so good for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Yankees have to start, Candy, I have to
Speaker 3: start getting back into what they used to be, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, a dominating team that always was in the
Speaker 3: World Series, and lately they haven't. They've laid an egg.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and the Dodgers look at them too,
Speaker 3: they've laid an egg. I mean I've said this many times.
Speaker 3: I don't care how much money you pay for players,
Speaker 3: if you don't have if them players get hurt, you're
Speaker 3: out of that money and you're losing the playoffs. It's
Speaker 3: that simple. And the Dodgers have had that problem.
Speaker 1: Yep. It's crazy. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: It is. It is nuts.
Speaker 3: It's sad about in baseball too. I wish they'd get
Speaker 3: a salary cap. You know that revenue sharing is a joke.
Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm sorry to say that, but it is.
Speaker 1: It is, and it's there's such a difference in salary
Speaker 1: like for teams that have spent salary wise, it's just crazy.
Speaker 1: You would think that the ones that were, you know,
Speaker 1: spending so much money would be so far ahead of
Speaker 1: it everybody else. It's kind of crazy that they aren't. Well,
Speaker 1: Lamarlin's were definitely sellers because I want to say a J.
Speaker 1: Puck went, Tanner, Scott went, Brian Horning went, Brian Daly,
Speaker 1: Cruz Jazz Chisholm, and earlier this year they already had
Speaker 1: Lewis ariahs Goo. They had so many that left it's
Speaker 1: not even funny. I don't think I'm going to recognize
Speaker 1: the team when I go back down and cover them soon.
Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully the hopefully some of these draft
Speaker 1: or prospects will pan out for them.
Speaker 3: Well, the Yankees are always good for with prospects. They
Speaker 3: have a very good scouting department. Uh, you know, so
Speaker 3: they're always good. Aaron Boone, I think he needs to
Speaker 3: win soon or I think he's gonna get fired because
Speaker 3: they haven't been As I mentioned earlier, they have not
Speaker 3: been in that echelon of where they used to be.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Now they're on the outside looking in, you know. And
Speaker 3: I think if they don't start winning soon and getting
Speaker 3: back to where they used to be, I think Aaron
Speaker 3: Boon's gonna get fired. And I think Dave Roberts should
Speaker 3: be fired in Dodgers because he's had all that talent
Speaker 3: and he can't get past the first round of playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yep, I agree. I agree.
Speaker 2: You know, the Marlins are sellers. Tampa Bay selling too.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was on with Peter Blake last night for you know,
Speaker 3: our wrestling segment on his show, and he was talking
Speaker 3: about that yesterday. He was saying about how they're sellers. So,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, they're selling off.
Speaker 1: They are. They are. So the other big sports that's
Speaker 1: happening right now is happening around the world over in Paris,
Speaker 1: and yeah, the Olympics. So, Ralph, have you been catching
Speaker 1: many of the Olympics.
Speaker 2: I am not.
Speaker 3: I'm not really into the Olympics that much, but I
Speaker 3: like water polo and a few of the other stuff
Speaker 3: that they do. You know, I heard that we dominated
Speaker 3: in some different categories. I know we have a lot
Speaker 3: of silver medals. We've only won what five or six
Speaker 3: maybe gold medals. I saw the count but I haven't
Speaker 3: really like focused in on it. You know, I know
Speaker 3: about some own biles and all that stuff, and you know,
Speaker 3: the gymnastics team. I'm interested to see what the Batman's
Speaker 3: basketball team is going to do because I heard they
Speaker 3: played a sud a South Sudan team that really has
Speaker 3: that really is nothing and came close to losing. So
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I you know, I'm just wondering
Speaker 3: if they think that they're better than everybody and they'll
Speaker 3: have to play everybody tough. You know, you better be careful.
Speaker 3: You'll get one of these countries. It's just that'll sneak
Speaker 3: up on you and beat you, you know. And that's
Speaker 3: the way I look at the US team. They better,
Speaker 3: they better get their act together and get that aricant
Speaker 3: attitude out because if they don't, they might get beat
Speaker 3: by some team in Kimbabwe or whatever.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Yes, actually they they I think they played. It was
Speaker 1: a rematch because this time around they they clinched a
Speaker 1: trip to the quarterfinals by beating the South Sudan they
Speaker 1: won one hundred and three to eighty six last night,
Speaker 1: so they they how should I put it, they were
Speaker 1: scared the last time. They decided they didn't want to
Speaker 1: be the laughing stock and lose to them.
Speaker 2: So I think yes, I mean it was closed to
Speaker 2: last game.
Speaker 3: And I mean my co host, smoking Jim Fraser, said
Speaker 3: on our Sports Corner show the other night that this
Speaker 3: that that's unacceptable to me. I mean, you know, you
Speaker 3: got You're supposed to be the dominating team in this
Speaker 3: whole Olympics. You're supposed to have the greatest athletes in
Speaker 3: the world, and you know, you almost come up short.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, correct, correct?
Speaker 1: I find the Olympics are. The thing that I like
Speaker 1: about the Olympics is you can turn them on and
Speaker 1: just watch a little bit and then you can go
Speaker 1: away and you can you know, don't.
Speaker 3: Know, whatever sports interest you. I mean, you know, like
Speaker 3: I said, I kind of like water polo. You know
Speaker 3: when I could when I well, I could still swim
Speaker 3: even though I can't walk, but I could still swim
Speaker 3: a little bit. And I used to be a certified
Speaker 3: lifeguard and everything, and you know there were times when
Speaker 3: when I went to boy Scott camp, we would play
Speaker 3: water polo, so I got to like water polo, right,
Speaker 3: you know. So you know I like some of some
Speaker 3: of this stuff they have in the Summer Olympics.
Speaker 1: I do too. I mean, I obviously I liked.
Speaker 3: The marathon running, you know that kind of thing, and
Speaker 3: some some other stuff.
Speaker 2: Winter.
Speaker 3: The Winter Olympics is the thing I really like, like skiing, hockey,
Speaker 3: you know that kind of thing, you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I like some of even the track and
Speaker 1: field events. I really like the fact that you can
Speaker 1: just watch a little bit and then you can like leave, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have to sit there, and you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to say this. I love football.
Speaker 1: Football is one of my favorite sports. But it's time consuming.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And that's another story.
Speaker 3: Supposedly we have some US players playing football in this
Speaker 3: Olympics or something, and from what I understand, we're not
Speaker 3: We're not doing real well or something, or we're you know,
Speaker 3: winning by a couple of points or something, when we
Speaker 3: should probably be dominating the sport that we as a
Speaker 3: as a country plays a lot of. I mean, we're
Speaker 3: the ones that that started football, I mean, and then
Speaker 3: the Canadians started doing it. And there's a little bit
Speaker 3: of European football and you know what I mean, they's
Speaker 3: the Europeans started rugby. I mean, you know so, But yeah,
Speaker 3: I I hear we're not We're I don't I'm not
Speaker 3: saying doing too good.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But the stories I'm hearing is we're again coming up close.
Speaker 3: I mean in a so we should really dominate. But
Speaker 3: I mean nowadays, you know, it's it's really tough. A
Speaker 3: lot of these countries are stepping it up, and uh,
Speaker 3: I think US needs to step it up.
Speaker 1: Well, I think some of it is is that we've
Speaker 1: been how should I put it, we kind of trained. Well,
Speaker 1: if you think about it, like the NBA, we're not
Speaker 1: just US American players anymore. Like no, you know, the
Speaker 1: Buck's great, the best Bucks best player right now is
Speaker 1: Giannie Well, he's playing for Greece, like he's not playing
Speaker 1: for the United States. So I think, you know, I
Speaker 1: think we're kind of blessed, and yet we're not because
Speaker 1: when we think of all of our different sports, people
Speaker 1: are coming from different countries to play sports here in America.
Speaker 3: In the NBA, yeah, I think I think you have
Speaker 3: a couple of renal players and some other you know,
Speaker 3: from some other countries. I know Pitt had some guys
Speaker 3: from Lithuania that we're here at one time. So I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: a lot of players are coming from across the globe
Speaker 3: to play in the United States. And then when you
Speaker 3: get into the Olympics, like if like if we play Greece,
Speaker 3: this guy knows some of these players and knows how
Speaker 3: to play against someone who knows you know, it could
Speaker 3: happen that.
Speaker 1: Way, exactly, exactly, Well, Ralph, any other topics besides my
Speaker 1: telling that you'd like to bring up.
Speaker 2: Tonight, Not really.
Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, I really didn't get into
Speaker 3: the trade deadline thoroughly. I mean I followed the pirates
Speaker 3: a little bit, but I didn't get into the whole
Speaker 3: thing thoroughly. I'm gonna have to look some things up
Speaker 3: and get into some stuff, and you know, I will
Speaker 3: probably do that in the next few days because I've
Speaker 3: been running around all week long and in doing my
Speaker 3: shows and stuff. And then I had a meeting yesterday
Speaker 3: with the producers for PCTV. We're going to try to
Speaker 3: resurrect the TV station so we can keep our programs
Speaker 3: on and things like that. So I had that meeting yesterday,
Speaker 3: and then I had to do a show, and I
Speaker 3: in fact, Wednesday's my busiest show day. I have three
Speaker 3: shows on Wednesdays.
Speaker 2: Wow, I do.
Speaker 3: I do my own And then I did that Zoom
Speaker 3: meeting and with the producers from PCTV, and then I
Speaker 3: did at nine o'clock, I'm on with Jeremy and his
Speaker 3: in the football round table. And then at ten thirty
Speaker 3: I'm one with Peter Blake down in Tampa for wrestling.
Speaker 3: So Wednesday's probably my busiest day. Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, So tell me what's happening in your tone?
Speaker 3: Oh nothing, really, we're not doing much here. Concerts have
Speaker 3: been coming in and out of here. Pirates are back home,
Speaker 3: I actually, believe it or not, the Pirates are actually
Speaker 3: the talk now. Usually when a Steeler training camp comes around,
Speaker 3: nobody shows up at Pirate games. But we're starting to
Speaker 3: sell that games now, and there's actually talk about the
Speaker 3: Pirates because of the fact that I said that no
Speaker 3: one believed me that I think the Pirates were going
Speaker 3: to have a five hundred year this year, and everybody
Speaker 3: else Oh no, you know, no, you don't know what
Speaker 3: you're talking about us. Okay, And now we're above five
Speaker 3: hundred and I'm looking right again, So I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: we'll see. We have to see what happens here. We
Speaker 3: still have a lot of baseball to be played and
Speaker 3: we need to make it to see where the Pirates
Speaker 3: are going to go towards the end. And they're in
Speaker 3: the thick of things in the Wildcard, but they have
Speaker 3: to And that's where the talk is coming in here.
Speaker 3: Skiings Paul Skin saved the year for the Pirates this year.
Speaker 3: And then you know the fact that we're in this
Speaker 3: race where the wild Card has really stepped it up
Speaker 3: for the Pirates this year. And then on top of that,
Speaker 3: we just made these trades and I think the Pirates
Speaker 3: are better off now. I just watched the pitcher last
Speaker 3: night that we just got. I watched him last night.
Speaker 3: He went like five innings and they only gave up
Speaker 3: like a couple of runs. And we just improved our
Speaker 3: bullpen and we did some other some outfield. We got
Speaker 3: a guy who a minor league player Nike York, who
Speaker 3: is this ultimate player. He's played all the positions on
Speaker 3: the field, including catcher. So I mean, we got this
Speaker 3: guy and he can hit. That's where we're lacking and hitting.
Speaker 3: We have a lot of good field position players, but
Speaker 3: we don't have a lot of hitting.
Speaker 2: And you know, that's where it is.
Speaker 3: And you know the Steeler training camp, everybody and their
Speaker 3: mother shows up there. I don't go to them things.
Speaker 3: I'm not sitting out in the heat to watch practice.
Speaker 3: I don't need to do that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I'll sit right here. You can put it on my
Speaker 2: TV and I'll watch it. You know, there you go,
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 3: You know, my my wife's father used to say, the
Speaker 3: best seat in the house is at home in front
Speaker 3: of your TV.
Speaker 2: M That's that's the way I look at it now.
Speaker 1: In some cases I understand completely. You know, I would
Speaker 1: say in my town, I'm gonna there's always something happening
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. But what I'm going to say right now
Speaker 1: is Green Bay training Camp. One of I think the
Speaker 1: neatest traditions is the practice field is is i would say,
Speaker 1: across the parking lot and across the street from the
Speaker 1: actual locker room of where all the players have their
Speaker 1: in lambeau Field. So get ready in lambeau Field and
Speaker 1: then they have to make their way down to the
Speaker 1: practice facility. Well, and what they do for that is
Speaker 1: they ask all kinds of little kids come with their
Speaker 1: bikes and then the players will ride.
Speaker 3: See that, Yeah, the players ride the bicycles. Yeah, I've
Speaker 3: seen that. That's that's neat and it's awesome.
Speaker 1: I think it's a very good tradition because it really
Speaker 1: helps gel players with young kids. And you know, these young.
Speaker 3: They need that because there's too many kids on the
Speaker 3: street right now, Candy, and it's not just here in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 3: it's across the country. We have kids committing crimes and
Speaker 3: doing stuff because parents don't know how to take care
Speaker 3: of their kids. But that's another issue for another day.
Speaker 3: But you know, it's great to see that kind of
Speaker 3: stuff going on because kids need I wouldn't say a
Speaker 3: lot of players are idols, but kids need something like that.
Speaker 1: They need, you know, look forward to something to make
Speaker 1: them see that there are real human beings. They're not
Speaker 1: just people on TV down.
Speaker 2: There make a lot of money, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: Exactly, and it gives them a chance to give back
Speaker 1: to their community, which I think is really cool as well.
Speaker 3: Well. A lot of Steelers do that here. Candy Food drives,
Speaker 3: Turkey drives, Charlie Batch gets and has the Batch Foundation camp.
Speaker 3: Heyward does his thing. There's a lot of that here
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh, and the Steelers are involved in that. That's
Speaker 3: some good stuff there, you know, which is great. You know,
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin has camps. Ben Roethlisbergers still is doing some camps.
Speaker 3: Everybody's doing camps here. Some of the players, some of
Speaker 3: the ex Steelers are working in high school football, their
Speaker 3: kids are in high school football here. And some of
Speaker 3: the ex Steelers or assistant coaches on some of these
Speaker 3: high great high school teams we have here. So it's
Speaker 3: a nice thing too as well. Saint Vincent College is
Speaker 3: where we practice at and Mike Tomlin once said this
Speaker 3: when COVID was around, we were they were practicing the
Speaker 3: hintsfield when they go home every night. Too much distraction
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, when you go to Saint Vincent
Speaker 3: you have to stay in the thro them with no
Speaker 3: air conditioning and all that other stuff. So it's a
Speaker 3: nice it's a it's a nice camp atmosphere out there,
Speaker 3: I'm told. But again, I've never I refused to sit
Speaker 3: out in the heat and whatever and and deal with that, you.
Speaker 1: Know, right, right, Well, let's face it, it's it's a
Speaker 1: good time of the year. It's a great time of year,
Speaker 1: you know, whether you like to be outside anytime any
Speaker 1: place in the country. Right now, it's a great time
Speaker 1: to be outside.
Speaker 3: It's summer's winding up. Candy. You got kids going back,
Speaker 3: getting ready to go back to school. Uh you know,
Speaker 3: I was in a Walmart and Grove City and they
Speaker 3: were out of everything. I mean, I couldn't even find
Speaker 3: I use index cards. I had to order from Staples online.
Speaker 3: I used index carts for my shows to write all
Speaker 3: my notes down on. I couldn't find any. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, highlighter markers.
Speaker 2: I use those. I had to order these. I couldn't
Speaker 2: find any.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, a lot of the Walmarts were,
Speaker 3: at least a couple that I went to, were out
Speaker 3: of school supplies, you know, I mean stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But there were a lot of notebooks and they were
Speaker 3: only fifty cents. And there were a lot of notebooks.
Speaker 3: I remember when Walmart used to sell notebooks for ten cents.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting because now I know kids down here,
Speaker 1: teachers go back starting next week. Kids are actually in
Speaker 1: classes starting on August twelfth. I believe if not.
Speaker 3: My friend Bill, the guy whose dog died today. He's
Speaker 3: my best friend. We're kind of like brothers. He his
Speaker 3: kids live in Saint Augustine, Florida. They lived there with
Speaker 3: their mom, his ex wife, and the one daughter just graduated.
Speaker 3: The other one is in eleventh grade, I think. And
Speaker 3: they go back early because they here for the summer
Speaker 3: to see him and his other daughter, and then from
Speaker 3: another relationship and they come here in the summertime and
Speaker 3: then they go back. But this year they went back
Speaker 3: earlier than normally. You should stay until like the end
Speaker 3: of July, and then they start school around August.
Speaker 2: They start walking, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I can tell you that I was. We
Speaker 1: were just up in Wisconsin earlier this week and last week.
Speaker 1: Now they don't start school till after Labor Day because
Speaker 1: the business industry in the summer has lobbied for years
Speaker 1: that you take if you started before Labor Day, you're
Speaker 1: taking too much of their help, their summer help away
Speaker 1: from them. Oh yeah, business industry, they have.
Speaker 3: They should do that here in Pennsylvania, Candy, they should have.
Speaker 3: You should all go back to school after Labor Day,
Speaker 3: because I did that for years when I was in school.
Speaker 3: And then now all of a sudden, they got him
Speaker 3: coming back the week before, and you know, they get
Speaker 3: the momentum going there in school for what one maybe
Speaker 3: two days, you know, that week, and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, you're off for all today and then you
Speaker 3: gotta come back. You know.
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's it's crazy.
Speaker 3: It should be a national thing with that federal law
Speaker 3: that says you have to go back, you can't go
Speaker 3: back to school to after Labor Day. And then on
Speaker 3: top of that, that's why a lot of corporations and
Speaker 3: politicians and uh, you know, I'm I'm the president of
Speaker 3: the Alleghany County Transit Council, so I'm I work hand
Speaker 3: in hand with the Pittsburgh Regional Transit our transit system here,
Speaker 3: and when we have our meetings, they have a liaison
Speaker 3: from the liaisons from the company come to our meetings. Well,
Speaker 3: in August, they don't come to our meetings. We just
Speaker 3: do a council only meeting because they're on vacation throughout
Speaker 3: the whole month of August. In fact, you can't even
Speaker 3: get a hold of none of those executives down there.
Speaker 3: Our mayor, our city mayor is on vacation for the
Speaker 3: August the city councils on the everybody in August just
Speaker 3: seems to go on vacation because that's the last month
Speaker 3: where they can really go on vacation. And you know,
Speaker 3: and I agree with you, handedly and I think it
Speaker 3: should be after Labor Day so they can get an
Speaker 3: opportunity to spend them last bit of the summer with
Speaker 3: their their their kids and family.
Speaker 1: You know, I agree. Well, Ralph, this has been a
Speaker 1: really good show.
Speaker 3: Yes, it has, it really has. It's the first time

Speaker 3: sixty dollars a month and I'm not paying for it.
Speaker 2: That man has so much money he could swim in it.
Speaker 3: So I mean, I don't feel I should have to pay.
Speaker 3: I do post my stuff on Twitter X, but I don't.
