I'm sorry, Limits. Bob and I were busy practicing this year's Malsy Christmas Carol. I think we may have something here. I think it's come a long way. I've heard a sampling of it as well, Bob. I think we're making some progress here. Maybe we can debut it Wednesday at Christmas Karaoke. Ooh, that would be big. This is like the We Are the World sessions. Those cameras here earlier should be focused on this. It might be to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. That'd be a good pick. Yeah. And we have some lyrics here. You didn't want to go with up on the mall Z or mall Z bells. No, not really. No, because he has a better one. He's been working on it. It sounds very good. Yeah. So we're going to get everybody in the office to contribute.
I want Donnie and Bob to have dramatic, like in the middle of the song, talk readings. You know what I mean? Where Bob just talks dramatically. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I know what you're saying. So you want him to narrate it like it's the night before Christmas. Yes, like he's the guy who was the narrator from Frosty, Burl Ives. Yeah, Burl Ives tells the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Burl Ives was great. Exactly. Bob, I have your part already written. I'm looking forward to it. All right, let's get back to the game. Fan Twitter brought to you by South Hills Kia Peters Township. Visit them at southhillskia.net. And the text line brought to you by Edgar Snyder and Associates, a personal injury law firm, where they always say there's never a fee unless we get money for you.
Let's go to Brooke Pryor from ESPN.com. Brooke, is there any chance you could make a guest appearance on the YouTube page? Malsy the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Any chance of this? Oh, you know, I if there is a dramatic speaking part and less of a singing part than I am in anything that requires me to sing, it's an absolute no. But I do love to talk. So say the word and I'll say words. Limits. Can we arrange that? I think we should. Yeah, that would be amazing. All right. We'll get back to you on that one, Brooke. In the meantime. We got a big football game tonight for the Steelers and for the Dolphins who will basically be done. And the big story surrounding it, of course, is TJ Watt. And I know you've done some really good reporting on this and the folks at ESPN.
There's so many questions, but let's just get the facts straight as we know them. And I'll tell you what I think that I've read, and then you tell me if it's accurate. It seems on Wednesday at the facility is when this occurred through the dry needling and that we are unsure whether it was a Steelers team employee that wielded that needle or, you know, an independent contractor. That TJ brought in on his own. And then we know he had a partially collapsed lung and had surgery Thursday. And that brings us up to date with him obviously being out tonight. Is that are those the facts as you know them? Yes, that is, that is what we know. That's what I've been told. I think it's, you know, I think that if TJ or his family wanted it to be out there, who the person was that was doing the dry needling, I think we would know that by now.
But I think the biggest thing is just that from what I have been told about dry needling and how it works, this is incredibly rare. Like it is a, massive mistake I mean there's a risk that happens with any kind of dry needling but for it to happen like some of the doctors I talked with have done dry needling and they said yeah if you do it anywhere other than the chest cavity it's not a really it's a low to no risk type of treatment but when you do it in the chest cavity particularly if he was having it done in his scapula and the shoulder blades up around his neck that area i mean it can relieve tension but you do have to be careful i mean you still would have to penetrate several layers of muscle especially when you're tj watt there's a lot of muscle there so you're
That is something that absolutely cannot happen. It also, I was told talking with, again, medical experts that a punctured lung like that could take some time to present itself.
