Speaker 2: our first sort of main podcast since well, unless you've
0:48
Speaker 2: been living under some sort of rock or having on
0:51
Speaker 2: the internet. The Steelers game to Dublin triumphally beat the
0:54
Speaker 2: Vikings have had a bye week. We're going in the
0:56
Speaker 2: week six now. The one guy, I really one of
0:59
Speaker 2: the one with a guy has now officially seen more
1:01
Speaker 2: of the island of Ireland than I have I thought
1:04
Speaker 2: is Max Starks. You're very welcome. You were very welcome
1:07
Speaker 2: to Arland as well.
1:08
Speaker 3: How are you doing. I'm doing good. And and Mike,
1:11
Speaker 3: I think I'll just change my name to Max Mick Starks.
1:14
Speaker 3: So we'll we'll, we'll, we'll go from there. I tried,
1:17
Speaker 3: oh Starks, it didn't really didn't really flow as well.
1:20
Speaker 3: It's not as cool as like Barack Obama. You know,
1:24
Speaker 3: you know, you don't have it. So I figure Mix
1:25
Speaker 3: Starks is a good start for me. I've now become
1:30
Speaker 3: the unofficial Steelers Ambassador to Ireland. I'm just gonna go
1:34
Speaker 3: ahead and and and put that out there. Uh, not
1:37
Speaker 3: to be confused with Ambassador Rooney and what he did
1:40
Speaker 3: for our our our government and for the m for
1:43
Speaker 3: the Emerald AU. But it was. It was absolutely amazing, Mick.
1:46
Speaker 3: I mean to go to eight different counties in four
1:49
Speaker 3: days and visit the vast amount of fans that we
1:52
Speaker 3: got to touch and soon to be fans at the time,
1:56
Speaker 3: and I'm sure we probably converted them as they watched
1:59
Speaker 3: the game and realized on the right side of history.
2:02
Speaker 3: With taking the terrible towels that we distributed and waving
2:05
Speaker 3: them proudly. They realized they had a championship tow a
2:08
Speaker 3: winner's towel in their hand, and it was not a
2:11
Speaker 3: dishreg a couple people try to use as a dishreg.
2:15
Speaker 2: Oh, there's somewhat stu impack from that. Like first off,
2:18
Speaker 2: before we even talk about that, it was like, it
2:21
Speaker 2: was funny. It just sums up Dublin in a sense.
2:23
Speaker 2: I think I walked into a borrow one night and
2:24
Speaker 2: seeing you got the chat here for thirty zac and
2:26
Speaker 2: s a minute in the hectic week.
2:28
Speaker 3: Just brilliant to see.
2:30
Speaker 2: You guys over here but not just come over but
2:32
Speaker 2: actually do so much stuff. And you talk about mister
2:36
Speaker 2: Rooney there, I know he would be very, very proud
2:38
Speaker 2: of what the team has done over the last few weeks.
2:42
Speaker 2: Before we talk about the terrible towel situation and that
2:45
Speaker 2: whole tour, what was it like for you, especially whenever
2:48
Speaker 2: you got to Dublin and we're able not to relax,
2:50
Speaker 2: but able to be like, right, this is happening. I mean,
2:53
Speaker 2: did it like for me? It obviously meant an awful
2:56
Speaker 2: lot in the personal level, but it definitely max exceeded
2:59
Speaker 2: my expectation in regards to highcro Park. Looked the amounted
3:04
Speaker 2: staters fans that We've seen a lot more Vikings fans
3:07
Speaker 2: in London last weekend than we've probably seen in Dublin.
3:09
Speaker 2: It was almost like a proper Theaters home game, undead
3:12
Speaker 2: the highest attendance first theaters game outside of Akrascher ever,
3:16
Speaker 2: I'm glad to believe.
3:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, and you're absolutely correct. We haven't had
3:22
Speaker 3: that type of neutral site venue with that. I mean
3:24
Speaker 3: you're talking about Croke Park, which normally seats eighty three thousand,
3:28
Speaker 3: got retro fitted for our game in that Hill sixteen side.
3:33
Speaker 3: See huh still remember the hill side of the stadium.
3:36
Speaker 3: You've got it, You got it and made it seventy
3:39
Speaker 3: five thousand. So it took down that capacity because that's
3:42
Speaker 3: usually a standing room area, and that is the largest
3:45
Speaker 3: because it is larger than Afrosure you know when you
3:48
Speaker 3: think about it, and to have the turnout to transform
3:53
Speaker 3: that stadium into Akrosure East is fantastic and phenomen I
4:00
Speaker 3: mean from all of the badging, having Larry Richard there
4:03
Speaker 3: as the PA announcer and just everything around it, playing
4:08
Speaker 3: Renegade in the fourth quarter, it was just it gave
4:12
Speaker 3: you all the feels of being at home. I think
4:16
Speaker 3: that's why we had such a high international I guess
4:20
Speaker 3: because it's in Dublin, so international presence of Americans coming
4:24
Speaker 3: from the States to Dublin. And really it gives a
4:28
Speaker 3: great case study for the NFL to show that you
4:31
Speaker 3: can pick cities like Dublin where people feel safe, they
4:37
Speaker 3: are they're welcomed, there is fun, there's pure excitement. The
4:41
Speaker 3: Irish hospitality that you always hear about, that warmth of
4:45
Speaker 3: Ireland just shine through it every moment. I mean, you
4:49
Speaker 3: had guys walking the streets with their families, and yeah,
4:52
Speaker 3: you got stopped by some of the fanatical fans, but
4:55
Speaker 3: you never felt uncomfortable. You never felt like, oh my god,
4:57
Speaker 3: I can't go here. I mean, you know, one night,
5:00
Speaker 3: I think I had my kids out at like eleven
5:01
Speaker 3: o'clock because we had had a late dinner and we
5:04
Speaker 3: went and got some gelato afterwards, and it was perfectly fine.
5:07
Speaker 3: Now mind you, that's prime pub hours because we were
5:10
Speaker 3: right by Temple Bar. But everybody was respectful, there was
5:13
Speaker 3: no arguing, there was no fights, and everybody just was
5:18
Speaker 3: joyous in the moment. I thought that was really special
5:20
Speaker 3: and the country of Ireland just did a tremendous job
5:24
Speaker 3: of the hospitality and the welcoming of the NFL.
5:28
Speaker 2: As a former player at first and foremost seeing what
5:30
Speaker 2: the Viking's done in terms of going out there and
5:32
Speaker 2: then going to London. Look, I know this is a
5:35
Speaker 2: team podcast, but I think from a fan's viewpoint first
5:38
Speaker 2: and foremost definitely myself, you expect to see that as
5:41
Speaker 2: a norm in the future, and I know many Theedars
5:43
Speaker 2: fans will be listening to discreaming Okay, well let's go
5:46
Speaker 2: over as in the way it see Megain. I think
5:47
Speaker 2: Dublin definitely has put itself in a conversation anyway. It
5:51
Speaker 2: would be great to have them back again within this pricing.
5:54
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, listen, I think what green Bay has
5:57
Speaker 3: the market as well? Who else am I thinking.
5:59
Speaker 2: Of as so obviously the main teams Theaters, Jigs, Green Bay,
6:05
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs the Jets. I feel like that's correct.
6:10
Speaker 3: Many I could definitely play the Jets and IRA don't
6:13
Speaker 3: feel bad about that. But I mean, but the good
6:16
Speaker 3: thing is, like you said, Jets, Jags and Chiefs AFC teams,
6:19
Speaker 3: teams that you could get on a rotating basis that
6:23
Speaker 3: wouldn't necessarily be it would be your featured division in
6:28
Speaker 3: a season just like the Vikings or the future divisions
6:31
Speaker 3: out of conference for us. So the fact that you
6:35
Speaker 3: can have potential of that, because if not, if you're
6:37
Speaker 3: waiting for the Vikings or Green Bay or somebody, it's
6:40
Speaker 3: every four years that you're that away team for them,
6:43
Speaker 3: unless you get a one off from the NFL that
6:46
Speaker 3: seventeenth game. But the better odds would be Jags, Jets, Chiefs,
6:51
Speaker 3: because you know you would get there more frequently. And yeah,
6:55
Speaker 3: oh my god, would I jump at the opportunity Even
6:59
Speaker 3: if we didn't I have a terrible towel tour because
7:01
Speaker 3: we'reth the away team, I would still probably still get
7:03
Speaker 3: there on Monday and just do all of my shows
7:06
Speaker 3: from some pub Kennedy's probably, or fitz Simon's who did
7:11
Speaker 3: a great job, or some of the other pubs. I mean,
7:13
Speaker 3: I might even go back to Gork and do it
7:15
Speaker 3: from Heart's Pub. It was an awesome time.
7:21
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I promise you one question before we
7:25
Speaker 2: talked about this terrible tal one more question we It
7:28
Speaker 2: was not even a question, it's more just of a conversation.
7:30
Speaker 2: And had the chance I left, I was obviously on
7:34
Speaker 2: TV walked out done the end of our Rogers Press.
7:37
Speaker 2: I think it was the last player walked out, walked
7:40
Speaker 2: on the tunnel and seen all you guys, and I
7:42
Speaker 2: thought it was a really cool moment, just seeing the
7:44
Speaker 2: team obviously very happy from winning, but seeing him get
7:47
Speaker 2: onto the bus coach Tomlin, et cetera. You must have
7:51
Speaker 2: been exhausted that point, surely, yeah, come on, like, yeah.
7:55
Speaker 3: It was. It was. It was the end to a
7:58
Speaker 3: very long week. It was enjoyable, but you're right. The
8:02
Speaker 3: snooze hours were not comparable to the awake hours that
8:07
Speaker 3: I did. But I will say this, losing that type
8:10
Speaker 3: of sleep, I was like, you can sleep when you're dead.
8:13
Speaker 3: That was an amazing opportunity, once in a lifetime opportunity
8:17
Speaker 3: to go over to a foreign country. One that's been
8:20
Speaker 3: on my bucket list was traveling to Ireland to see
8:23
Speaker 3: it to the degree that I did, and be as
8:27
Speaker 3: received and just to go through that whole experience. I mean,
8:32
Speaker 3: you know, getting to meet Dairy FC football club, right,
8:36
Speaker 3: getting to meet Munster and their rugby team, getting to
8:39
Speaker 3: meet in Killarney and play with some hurling kids. It
8:43
Speaker 3: was just seeing kill Kenny Castle, the Cliffs of More,
8:46
Speaker 3: the legendary of Dairy.
8:49
Speaker 2: I'm on, I've lived here for over thirty years. I've
8:52
Speaker 2: never been to the cliffs and more as well, I
8:54
Speaker 2: hope to give it to you for play. You've seen
8:55
Speaker 2: more to that in the meat and the thing that
8:57
Speaker 2: the really important thing that you've mentioned counties, right, But
9:01
Speaker 2: you guys were driving through way more than that as well,
9:04
Speaker 2: so you've seen a lot. Like so I mentioned some
9:06
Speaker 2: places there. You fly in to Dublin and then you
9:10
Speaker 2: go straight with Canty and then Killarney. You know me,
9:13
Speaker 2: Patty Clifford and Killarney. I know I noticed Sam Magar.
9:16
Speaker 2: We didn't make an appearance, but Potty seemed in good
9:18
Speaker 2: form to try try and remember even though it was
9:21
Speaker 2: two weeks ago, like the chronological order of how that went,
9:24
Speaker 2: And is there any stories that we haven't heard of yet.
9:27
Speaker 2: Did you stop off at the filling station to get
9:29
Speaker 2: a chicken fillip roll or anything or what was the plan?
9:32
Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned that, because yes, I did stop
9:34
Speaker 3: at a couple of filling stations. I had had two
9:38
Speaker 3: Chicken filet rolls on my on my on my journey,
9:41
Speaker 3: one of them being when we left Belfast. That's probably
9:44
Speaker 3: my favorite one. And it was like and the gas
9:46
Speaker 3: stations look like travel plazas in America, like they do.
9:50
Speaker 3: They're not just a petrol station you pull up, you
9:52
Speaker 3: gas up in like some CD you know store with
9:55
Speaker 3: all kinds of bobbles in it. But I mean it's
9:58
Speaker 3: like a full proper food court, kids play place, like
10:01
Speaker 3: kids stopped there for lunch, like there was a lot
10:03
Speaker 3: of primary school kids running through, like the little ballpit
10:07
Speaker 3: and everything. It was. It was amazing. But no, we
10:10
Speaker 3: so mandon Dublin. Thirty minutes in Dublin at the hotel room,
10:13
Speaker 3: changed packed the bag head to kill Kenny Castle and
10:15
Speaker 3: kill Kenny. From Kill Kenny, drive to Kilarney. Like you said,
10:18
Speaker 3: met potty Clifford met met two youth leagues, one for hurling.
10:23
Speaker 3: That's where I learned how to hurl, and that's where
10:25
Speaker 3: I have my beautiful hurling sticks. There we go right there,
10:31
Speaker 3: Nation is.
10:32
Speaker 2: The question is can you do it? Can you still hurt?
10:34
Speaker 2: Of even practice? Since I have not practices.
10:37
Speaker 3: I've only been home for about twenty seven hours, so
10:40
Speaker 3: I promise I will once I get caught up on
10:43
Speaker 3: my sleep. But so we practiced practice hurling. Then we
10:46
Speaker 3: went Killarney. Rugby went with them and they kind of
10:49
Speaker 3: showed me about the whole lift and everything else, trying
10:51
Speaker 3: to trying to swap the rugby ball away from him.
10:53
Speaker 3: It was it was very bad attempt. Went to J.
10:57
Speaker 3: M Ready's there and and poured my friend first guinness pint.
11:00
Speaker 3: Got my first perfect poor certificate at jam Reedy's, a
11:03
Speaker 3: very old historical bar there in Killarney. Stayed there the night.
11:09
Speaker 3: Next morning drove up to Limerick, went to University of

Speaker 3: Limerick and also visited with Munster Rugby. They're on the
11:13
Speaker 3: same campus you met.

11:40
Speaker 3: students on a random day and their their team is
11:44
Speaker 3: the Vikings. Funny enough, but they're they're the Blue Vikings,
11:46

Speaker 2: On the and I will say I will say, very
11:51
Speaker 2: very good people, Liam Ryan, the ul Vikings lovely, lovely

Speaker 3: Yeah, and we had a blast there. We took a
12:01
Speaker 3: picture with them with their banner and everything at the end.
12:03
Speaker 3: Then went over to Monster Rugby, addressed the team, obviously,
12:07
Speaker 3: did a jersey exchange with Sean Casey. He's stood on
12:10
Speaker 3: he stood on the bench. It was hilarious because we
12:12
Speaker 3: took the first picture and he was like, no way, nope, nope, nope,
12:17
Speaker 3: He's like waving it off and he's like, stands on
12:20
Speaker 3: the bench. Now, this is right. We took the picture,
12:23
Speaker 3: so we got we we haven't distributed the actual hype
12:26
Speaker 3: differential videos with him actually standing on the ground. Then
12:31
Speaker 3: went out and tossed the ball out with ty Burns
12:33
Speaker 3: for a little bit and he showed me the proper
12:35
Speaker 3: form on on on how on how to pass and

12:47
Speaker 3: of the best in rugby and all the Island world.
12:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I will say this on It's something like
12:57
Speaker 2: I obviously live up north, so I I hear you
13:00
Speaker 2: to a place called Gort in County Galway. Right, I'm like,
13:03
Speaker 2: what's going? Like? Did this mo almost be racked for
13:05
Speaker 2: a start for a plan of him Hearts Pub talks
13:08
Speaker 2: to me about this and talks to me about white
13:10
Speaker 2: because like I want to those about is this like
13:12
Speaker 2: a Cedar's pub in Galway or what's the crocker?
13:14
Speaker 3: Yeah? It is so So after we left Limerick we
13:17
Speaker 3: hit the Cliffs of More and that was absolutely breathtaking.
13:20
Speaker 3: And then we drive to Gork and we're in like
13:24
Speaker 3: this little town square because you don't have most like
13:26
Speaker 3: the smaller towns around Ireland. Like you drive in there's
13:30
Speaker 3: a big central square, get the four exits off, and
13:33
Speaker 3: then kind of you go off to the homes like
13:35
Speaker 3: this is the this is where the market is, hardware store,
13:38
Speaker 3: this is where everything is. And then right on the
13:41
Speaker 3: side street right there black and Goal Hearts Pub And
13:45
Speaker 3: when we pull up there are like forty people outside.
13:49
Speaker 3: They're like we've been here all day and we've been
13:52
Speaker 3: waiting for you. We can't wait. You walk in it's
13:54
Speaker 3: like walking into your uncle's man cave basement, like over
13:59
Speaker 3: over and over over in like the south Side, like
14:04
Speaker 3: south Side flats, like you know, it's just it is
14:06
Speaker 3: a very homely. There's video, there's there's Steelers videos playing
14:11
Speaker 3: on replay in the corner on the big screen. They've
14:14
Speaker 3: got all kinds of Steelers, pale of paraphernalia on the walls,
14:17
Speaker 3: because we obviously know you can only tell an Irish
14:20
Speaker 3: pub by how many photos and paraphernalias hanging from the
14:23
Speaker 3: walls and the ceilings. That's where you know you're in
14:25
Speaker 3: a real Irish pub if it has clean walls. Don't
14:27
Speaker 3: drink the guinness there, right, you know what I'm saying.
14:29
Speaker 3: This was pat chalked full of all kinds of memorabilia,
14:33
Speaker 3: and the and the people there were just amazing. Karen Hart,
14:37
Speaker 3: her son in law, he was he's a huge Steeler
14:40
Speaker 3: fan as well, but he was also a Florida Gator fan,
14:42
Speaker 3: so he had a Steeler sweatshirt on and then he
14:44
Speaker 3: had a Gator's polo underneath it. As we show up
14:47
Speaker 3: in this bar and it was just it felt like home.
14:50
Speaker 3: We spent about two and a half hours there. I
14:52
Speaker 3: poured way too many guinnesses and and and and opened
14:55
Speaker 3: a bunch of siders and different bottle beers that and
14:58
Speaker 3: I care to remember by being behind the and just
15:01
Speaker 3: had a good time just hanging out and it was
15:03
Speaker 3: a comfortable, familiar environment, So it was amazing. That was
15:07
Speaker 3: a nice little departure for us before we actually got

Speaker 2: and then had to Neary. How did you find the
16:33
Speaker 2: experience with children this morning? The flag football?
16:35
Speaker 3: Didion? Didjon? Johnny?
16:36
Speaker 4: I so enjoyed the experience coming to Belfast, seeing a
16:40
Speaker 4: different part of Ireland, seeing that the entire country, you know,
16:45
Speaker 4: and so many times you only get a chance to
16:47
Speaker 4: see the areas that you are in, but to you know,
16:51
Speaker 4: make this trip, see a lot of the countryside, see
16:55
Speaker 4: you know, different cultures and see how they're able to coexist. Uh,
17:00
Speaker 4: it's it's really fun. I was really happy and excited
17:04
Speaker 4: to see everything.
17:05
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. It hit me that there's an
17:07
Speaker 2: NFL game coming here. Obvious he's a big fun We
17:10
Speaker 2: were in Sa Mari's high schooler for an award, which
17:12
Speaker 2: we'll talk about a little bit later on the podcast,
17:15
Speaker 2: and this guy walks in with his gold jacket on
17:17
Speaker 2: and not hit me. And how did you find just
17:20
Speaker 2: that experience get being in that school and obviously speaking
17:23
Speaker 2: to those children and young adults really as well, that's
17:26
Speaker 2: something they'll never forget the one honestly.
17:28
Speaker 4: Well, for me, it was It's something that you know,
17:31
Speaker 4: I appreciate, but I also understand the significance because you know,
17:40
Speaker 4: I was a kid too, right, and I looked and
17:42
Speaker 4: I wanted to see what success looked like. And in
17:46
Speaker 4: my neighborhood there wasn't a lot of pictures of what
17:50
Speaker 4: success looked like. H And so I want to try
17:53
Speaker 4: to provide a picture of that every chance I get.
17:56
Speaker 4: And so that's why I felt it was important, because
17:58
Speaker 4: those are the ages where the young people are encourageable,
18:01
Speaker 4: and if you show them that, hey, there is a
18:05
Speaker 4: pathway an education is that pathway? Then you're gonna get
18:10
Speaker 4: the future leaders up tomorrow.
18:13
Speaker 2: You were here in ninety seven. First off, what's it
18:16
Speaker 2: like being in Dublin and being back around that stadium?
18:19
Speaker 2: And secondly, Don Ronney, what does he mean to you
18:22
Speaker 2: as as a player? You know, I'm even for a
18:25
Speaker 2: mentor figure and I got there as well. He'd be
18:26
Speaker 2: very proud this weekend.
18:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dann Ronney was was He was the best, the
18:31
Speaker 4: absolute best. He knew how to create an organization and
18:37
Speaker 4: run an organization because it felt not like an organization
18:41
Speaker 4: but like a family.
18:42
Speaker 5: And so you know, he would be so proud that
18:47
Speaker 5: his family is here playing in the first ever regular
18:53
Speaker 5: season game because he puts so much in to make
18:57
Speaker 5: it happen for the preseason, much less the regular season.
19:03
Speaker 5: So I think he would be so proud.
19:06
Speaker 4: But he also be proud of the commitment that the
19:08
Speaker 4: NFL is making to Ireland as well, And so you
19:13
Speaker 4: know it would be hey, we've done, We're doing great,
19:16
Speaker 4: Let's do more. Uh, And I know that's what he
19:18
Speaker 4: would be saying.
19:19
Speaker 2: I spoke to coach kyr at the Super Bowl a
19:21
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. I got the story of how
19:24
Speaker 2: Patricia really wanted to win the trophy in the East
19:26
Speaker 2: seven as a player. I know it's hard to think
19:28
Speaker 2: I can remember, but like a for you guys, preseason
19:29
Speaker 2: games usually aren't a big deal. Let's getting practice in repsent.
19:33
Speaker 2: What was that like whenever you were told or you know, right, guys,
19:35
Speaker 2: we have to win this game.
19:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember, I remember in practice coach telling us
19:40
Speaker 4: because he wanted us to understand that it's significant. So
19:43
Speaker 4: we gotta bust our ass in practice because we got
19:47
Speaker 4: to win this game.
19:49
Speaker 3: We gotta begin.
19:50
Speaker 4: It's not just to start all of us because you
19:53
Speaker 4: know the young guys that are gonna be the ones playing.
19:56
Speaker 4: So you guys got to figure out how to win
19:58
Speaker 4: this football game. So you know, he put a mandate
20:02
Speaker 4: on the entire team. But I think that's that's what
20:05
Speaker 4: you have to do. You know, when something that's important
20:08
Speaker 4: to you, you you let let everybody know. Hey, guys,
20:12
Speaker 4: we're playing for something bigger than just us. We want
20:15
Speaker 4: to win this trophy for her. She wanted that that
20:18
Speaker 4: that uh crystal, and by goodness she.
20:21
Speaker 2: Got it and it's still in the trophy cabital to
20:24
Speaker 2: this that just finally, Mane, you have witnessed and experienced
20:28
Speaker 2: greatness in your career and obviously going out in the
20:32
Speaker 2: very right top and the place that meant so much
20:34
Speaker 2: to you as well. What's it like not only being
20:37
Speaker 2: a stater but winning at all and actually having that
20:40
Speaker 2: glory in that moment?
20:41
Speaker 4: It was you know, it was everything because you know,
20:44
Speaker 4: the individual success was never the goal.
20:46
Speaker 5: The goal was always winning championship.
20:48
Speaker 4: So year after year there's there could only be one winner,
20:52
Speaker 4: and year after year, you know, I was a loser,
20:55
Speaker 4: I was sick, came in second place, third place, fourth place,
20:59
Speaker 4: never one, never would could consider myself a champion.
21:02
Speaker 5: So to have an opportunity.
21:05
Speaker 4: In my last season, in my last game, to win
21:09
Speaker 4: a championship and actually do it, uh, it was special
21:14
Speaker 4: because I could forever be associated with the Pittsburgh still, yes,
21:18
Speaker 4: but also be a champion as well.
21:22
Speaker 2: What an answer. I really appreciate you taking the time
21:25
Speaker 2: to shout to this and thank you for taking the
21:26
Speaker 2: time to come over here. I know you didn't get
21:28
Speaker 2: in the bus like mak Starks and start throwing tiles
21:30
Speaker 2: and with Mike goal, We've had a great day Edge room.
21:33
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
21:34
Speaker 5: One, no problem, It's been a magical week.
21:38
Speaker 4: So I'm looking forward to uh A twenty seven one
21:42
Speaker 4: win to Pittsburgh.
21:46
Speaker 2: We heard from Jerome Battis Derom Germi Maugat. Thank you
21:48
Speaker 2: for joining us on the Irish Theaters podcast. It's not
21:54
Speaker 2: every day that you're on a bus on the road
21:56
Speaker 2: from Nearly to Dublin, just popped near karting for direction
22:01
Speaker 2: here and shopping to a two times Superbowl championing an
22:04
Speaker 2: Ike teler Ike, You're very very welcome, not only this
22:06
Speaker 2: podcast but to the Island of Ireland. This is your
22:08
Speaker 2: first time here, first time on the island. How did
22:10
Speaker 2: you find getting in and seeing the city over the
22:13
Speaker 2: last are so and it's really special for this game,
22:16
Speaker 2: it's all start up pretty well.
22:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been a hona. I compare the the island
22:23
Speaker 6: of Ireland to the city of Pittsburgh.
22:27
Speaker 2: Similar, isn't it.
22:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, it has that kind of feel that that that
22:30
Speaker 6: hard working, blue collar kind of city that very prideful,
22:35
Speaker 6: you know Ireland, but yeah, I mean Pittsburgh is a
22:40
Speaker 6: priud forul city for many reasons. Ireland is a powerful
22:43
Speaker 6: country for many reasons. So it just feels like home,
22:47
Speaker 6: but just in a in a in a different world
22:49
Speaker 6: right now.
22:51
Speaker 2: How do you feel ahead of this game in Dublin
22:53
Speaker 2: because you had the chance to go up to Belfast
22:56
Speaker 2: and NY today, I seen you coaching those kids flag football.
23:00
Speaker 2: You impressed with the talent that you're seeing at the
23:01
Speaker 2: gross first level here.
23:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, that that's most of all, not only talent, it's
23:06
Speaker 6: the talent of the young ladies who is actually out
23:09
Speaker 6: there participating, you know. So that's what I was very
23:13
Speaker 6: impressed with. But as far as like the introduction of football,
23:18
Speaker 6: you know, flag football, that's what it presents without having
23:21
Speaker 6: to put equipment on, you know, So just seeing some
23:24
Speaker 6: some young guys. Of course we know football is a
23:27
Speaker 6: is a is a is a male sport at the
23:29
Speaker 6: professional level. I did see some talented young ladies out there,
23:33
Speaker 6: but far as like from the males, they had some
23:36
Speaker 6: males out there, very talented. From from what I see
23:38
Speaker 6: coming from a scout perspective.
23:40
Speaker 2: Well, I think anybody that was there today will take
23:42
Speaker 2: dots a tick, that analysis and run for the hills
23:45
Speaker 2: in a good way. And obviously you would have known
23:49
Speaker 2: mister Rooney at your time with the team. We've just
23:51
Speaker 2: come bax from of that neary where the Tenisians were
23:54
Speaker 2: made with the Ireland funds and the theaters. How did
23:57
Speaker 2: you find him whenever you were at the team and
23:59
Speaker 2: on high asn't was he with the team whenever you
24:02
Speaker 2: were there? A lot of how important was easy your
24:04
Speaker 2: career I mimic.
24:06
Speaker 6: I mimic my lifestyle after Paul Parony, you know, coming
24:11
Speaker 6: up where I came from. Uh, when you got money,
24:15
Speaker 6: you had to show it, you had to be flashy. Uh.
24:18
Speaker 6: Paul Paroni was the total opposite, you know. So he
24:21
Speaker 6: was he was a buick you know, buick less saber guy.
24:25
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. He had a he had
24:27
Speaker 6: a tan buick. It's just certain things you don't do
24:31
Speaker 6: in the city of Pittsburgh. And I truly believe it
24:33
Speaker 6: came from the Rooney family, Like just because you got it,
24:37
Speaker 6: you don't show it. And I can kind of see
24:40
Speaker 6: that over here in Ireland. What we're gonna do, We're
24:44
Speaker 6: gonna work hard, we're gonna establish ourselves, We're gonna treat
24:47
Speaker 6: people right, and even if you do have it, you
24:49
Speaker 6: don't show that you have it, you know. So Uh,
24:53
Speaker 6: that's that's what I learned from from Paul Paroni. That
24:56
Speaker 6: was that was that was one of the things I
24:58
Speaker 6: mimicked off. And it was also like giving back to
25:01
Speaker 6: the community. As you can see, uh the world, we're
25:04
Speaker 6: moving up and down the country of island. He even
25:08
Speaker 6: though he loved the city of Pittsburgh, even though he
25:11
Speaker 6: was very successful as an owner. Yeah, his passion always
25:15
Speaker 6: been giving back to his country.
25:19
Speaker 2: Good to hear from those guys. So we've got Mox,
25:21
Speaker 2: We've got Dreoman, we got Ike on this podcast. Max,
25:23
Speaker 2: those guys a good crack. I know you ended up
25:25
Speaker 2: going down towards Dublin at that point. Did it hit
25:28
Speaker 2: you when you were heading in the Dublin for people
25:30
Speaker 2: wonder hadn't done the Ballfoster traction down the m one
25:33
Speaker 2: Port tunnel appears, and does it start to hitch you down?
25:35
Speaker 2: Like here we go? This is it now?
25:37
Speaker 3: Like that?
25:37
Speaker 2: I think at that point we're two games away or two,
25:39
Speaker 2: two or three days away from.
25:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah we are. It was Thursday, so yeah, two
25:43
Speaker 3: days away before game day. And when you when you
25:46
Speaker 3: start to go in, I mean you're like, man, okay,
25:49
Speaker 3: this is getting real, Like we're we're closing down Like
25:52
Speaker 3: there we're now, you know, under triple digit hours before
25:56
Speaker 3: game time. And when you drive in to the city.
26:00
Speaker 3: Mind you. Last time I saw the city was on
26:01
Speaker 3: a Monday, so normal work day, A couple of people
26:05
Speaker 3: walking around the streets. I get back there Thursday afternoon
26:10
Speaker 3: and it is jam packed, wall to wall traffic. People
26:14
Speaker 3: on the streets, the crosswalks are busy, people are confused,
26:18
Speaker 3: they got their phones out doing all kinds of crazy
26:20
Speaker 3: stuff trying to find directions. And the hotel was packed
26:25
Speaker 3: when I got there, and it was a you felt
26:28
Speaker 3: the frenzy of like a Steeler's home game weekend with
26:31
Speaker 3: the amount of people, and I did not. I don't
26:33
Speaker 3: know if you had this. I did not see a
26:35
Speaker 3: single Vikings fan until game day. It felt like like
26:37
Speaker 3: I saw a couple, like maybe I could literally count
26:40
Speaker 3: like seven on my hand that I saw throughout my
26:43
Speaker 3: travels and hundreds of Steelers fans. But then I got
26:46
Speaker 3: to Doublin, I'm like, oh, there'll be more. They have
26:48
Speaker 3: a bar and this Nope. I did not see them
26:51
Speaker 3: till Sunday morning when I was walking to Croke Park
26:54
Speaker 3: to get into the stadium get wanded. That's where I'm like, oh,
26:57
Speaker 3: this is the what rock? Did you guys climb from
26:59
Speaker 3: under the blarney stone? I was like, yeah, get nowhere.
27:02
Speaker 3: I'm like, and then when you get in the stadium,
27:04
Speaker 3: you realize, now, I ain't that many of y'all. Because
27:06
Speaker 3: the Steelers bought all the hotels and all the tickets
27:08
Speaker 3: to this game.
27:10
Speaker 2: It definitely surprised me and I seen I went into
27:15
Speaker 2: the Vikings Park just to see the crack earlier on
27:17
Speaker 2: in the week there was a decent chunk of the
27:19
Speaker 2: with at different parts in the city. Obviously great to
27:21
Speaker 2: see so many teams come in different colors. And you
27:24
Speaker 2: sound like a man that was in Physigmons a lot
27:26
Speaker 2: with all those staters fans. Man, you do you do?
27:28
Speaker 2: You do? I feel like we talk about this game forever.
27:30
Speaker 2: I will say this before we're going to very quickly
27:32
Speaker 2: talk about this Browns game this weekend, just in the second,
27:34
Speaker 2: but I will say this, it feels like, even though
27:37
Speaker 2: you've done a full tour here, I feel like you
27:39
Speaker 2: can do so much. I mean, you said the Blarney stone.
27:41
Speaker 2: I think you kiss the blarney still next time, go up,
27:43
Speaker 2: go around different places off Loan, maybe different parts of
27:46
Speaker 2: the North as well. Doney gall properly as well, have
27:49
Speaker 2: gone proper. We can definitely run it back.
27:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely want to. I definitely want to go
27:53
Speaker 3: into Donegall properly and I want to go to I
27:56
Speaker 3: gotta go to Cork. I know a lot of people, no,
27:59
Speaker 3: don't go to I'm like, I gotta go to Cork.
28:01
Speaker 3: You have to.
28:01
Speaker 2: That's where the Cork is some full of some of
28:04
Speaker 2: the best nflfhons and like genuinely the good people. The
28:08
Speaker 2: city's great as well.
28:09
Speaker 3: I just try fish but not yes, so I got
28:12
Speaker 3: to try it in Cork, you know, because I have
28:15
Speaker 3: to do a proper analysis, right, I mean, this is
28:18
Speaker 3: about being thorough in the analysis here, Mick. You know
28:21
Speaker 3: you can't. You can't. You have to go side. I
28:23
Speaker 3: did a side by side. But I'm like, I feel
28:25
Speaker 3: like the brew is going to be a little bit
28:27
Speaker 3: more special when you when you pour it in Cork,
28:30
Speaker 3: just like when you pour a Guinness in Dublin. Like
28:32
Speaker 3: it just it hits different.
28:33
Speaker 2: On the Taste Buds, hard hitting analysis on this Irish
28:39
Speaker 2: Hitters podcast this week present of Aerlingus, and we're gonna
28:41
Speaker 2: talk about a game of just a second. Max is
28:43
Speaker 2: just off like myself watching coach Tomlin talk in this
28:46
Speaker 2: pre game press conference this week let's hear what he
28:48
Speaker 2: had to say a little bit on this podcast.
28:51
Speaker 7: Certainly was a good bye week for us on a
28:54
Speaker 7: lot of fronts. First and foremost, from a health standpoint,
29:00
Speaker 7: feel really encouraged about the return of some people who've
29:03
Speaker 7: been out. Guys like Alex high Smith and Joey Porter Junior,
29:08
Speaker 7: for example, worked yesterday on our bonus day and the
29:12
Speaker 7: arrows pointed up on their participation, but we'll follow them
29:16
Speaker 7: throughout the week to make sure he continues to move
29:19
Speaker 7: in the appropriate direction. I think the same thing could
29:22
Speaker 7: be said for Jalen Warren. Obviously he missed the last game,
29:26
Speaker 7: but looked really good yesterday, and so excited about those guys.
29:31
Speaker 7: Two guys that were watching very closely that certainly are
29:35
Speaker 7: gonna be limited at the front part of the week,
29:37
Speaker 7: but may perk up and be included toward the latter
29:40
Speaker 7: part of the week is Calvin Austin with his shoulder
29:44
Speaker 7: and Jalen Ramsey with his hamstring. Both have been highly
29:48
Speaker 7: aggressive from a rehabilitation standpoint during the bye week, and
29:51
Speaker 7: so really encouraged about the potential of those guys, but
29:54
Speaker 7: we'll take it certainly day to day. The bye week
29:59
Speaker 7: is also an opportun unity for us to sit back
30:02
Speaker 7: and take a look at some of the things that
30:03
Speaker 7: we've done schematically, adapt adaptations we've made the circumstance, whether
30:10
Speaker 7: it's matchup related or player availability related. To look at
30:14
Speaker 7: the overall trajectory of our of our units offensively defensively,
30:19
Speaker 7: of special teams relative to our vision. Also to look
30:22
Speaker 7: around and look at some of the things that are
30:24
Speaker 7: trending in the game, how people are producing or presenting
30:28
Speaker 7: preventing big plays, whether it's run or pass, the turnover game,
30:33
Speaker 7: gadget plays, et cetera, possession down play, fourth down appetites.
30:40
Speaker 7: We looked at a lot of things going on globally,
30:43
Speaker 7: and I think oftentimes you do that, but I think
30:46
Speaker 7: that's one of the advantages of maybe having an early
30:48
Speaker 7: buy just to get a sample size of how the
30:51
Speaker 7: ball is being rolled out globally in twenty twenty five
30:55
Speaker 7: at the early stages of it, and we did some
30:57
Speaker 7: of that. It was a good experience for us, but
30:59
Speaker 7: it's all so really good to get back into the
31:03
Speaker 7: to the world of competition.
31:05
Speaker 3: This week.
31:05
Speaker 7: We had a really good bonus day yesterday, putting an
31:08
Speaker 7: emphasis on physical conditioning and and running and playing football
31:13
Speaker 7: that way as we get back and warn back up
31:16
Speaker 7: to it and so excited about continuing that during the week.
31:19
Speaker 7: I can't say enough about what what I'm seeing from Judkins.
31:24
Speaker 7: You know, this guy is played in four games, he
31:26
Speaker 7: started three. He had absolutely no training camp to speak of,
31:31
Speaker 7: and that really highlights what it is that we're looking at.
31:34
Speaker 7: Kudos to him and kudos to them for what he
31:38
Speaker 7: and they are able to produce. He's a tough runner,
31:41
Speaker 7: He's good inside, He's got good patience and picking vision
31:45
Speaker 7: on interior running. He finished off, finishes off his runs
31:48
Speaker 7: with violence. He's underrated in terms of his ability to
31:53
Speaker 7: bounce it to the perimeter and pop long ones. He
31:56
Speaker 7: had sixty yard or so.
31:59
Speaker 3: Uh.
31:59
Speaker 7: He got called back in London last week. That kind
32:01
Speaker 7: of highlights that I've seen this guy a lot. Obviously,
32:05
Speaker 7: we got a couple of his teammates from O State
32:08
Speaker 7: and so I've seen a lot of his video. Man,
32:10
Speaker 7: he is a complete back. He's the type of guy
32:13
Speaker 7: that can wear a defensive unit down. Certainly fits their mold.
32:19
Speaker 7: There's an awesome replacement, if you will, for for Nick Chubb,
32:23
Speaker 7: and I think it's gonna do nothing but get get better.
32:26
Speaker 7: With him and them.
32:28
Speaker 2: Good to hear from coach Tomlin on before we leap
32:30
Speaker 2: Max Starks go, expect to call you Max Steelers there.
32:33
Speaker 2: I've got that much Steeters in my briand Max at
32:35
Speaker 2: the minute, and like it's hard to believe last time
32:40
Speaker 2: this team played, wasn't Dublin get the bye week?
32:42
Speaker 3: Come in?
32:43
Speaker 2: Just shattery your faults. I obviously we both know the
32:46
Speaker 2: Browns have to go to London. Played too bod To
32:49
Speaker 2: be fair to them, Jokings look superb like I have
32:52
Speaker 2: to have to hold mountains up here, but they obviously
32:54
Speaker 2: have a shorter week.
32:54
Speaker 3: They have to fly back.
32:56
Speaker 2: This is a Steelers team that he's doing quite well
32:58
Speaker 2: in this division at the minute in regard to the injuries.
33:00
Speaker 2: Alber teams has home game and Akrasher first time in
33:04
Speaker 2: a few weeks. This like, look, any game in the
33:07
Speaker 2: AFC North is a must win game. This is a
33:08
Speaker 2: must win game surely this week. What's your futs generating
33:11
Speaker 2: this game?
33:12
Speaker 3: Well, I think one of the biggest things Mick that
33:14
Speaker 3: I look at is you've got to get a victory
33:17
Speaker 3: at home. All the victories that we've been masked so far.
33:19
Speaker 3: Now I know Dublin counts as a home game. We
33:22
Speaker 3: forfeited a home game for that, but we haven't won
33:25
Speaker 3: in Afrasher yet this season, so that's that's that's rule
33:28
Speaker 3: number one. Number two, you have not played a division
33:31
Speaker 3: game yet. Everybody else has already played division games in
33:33
Speaker 3: your division, So now this is your first shot at
33:36
Speaker 3: actually working on division dominance. So you've got to put
33:40
Speaker 3: your best fot forward.
33:41
Speaker 2: Now.
33:41
Speaker 3: The one thing we heard from coach Tomlin in that
33:43
Speaker 3: press conference was arrow pointing up for twenty four and
33:46
Speaker 3: fifty six. That would be Joey Porter Junior and Alex
33:49
Speaker 3: high Smith who did not play two weeks ago in Dublin,
33:52
Speaker 3: who've been injured, you know, for majority of this season,
33:56
Speaker 3: especially with Joey. Joey got injured in the Jets game
33:58
Speaker 3: and Alex got injured in the Seahawks game, So we
34:02
Speaker 3: haven't seen those guys in a number of weeks. So
34:05
Speaker 3: we've been tested on the depth of this team. So
34:09
Speaker 3: seeing how your front line comes back and that depth
34:12
Speaker 3: starts to replenish itself is going to be key. But
34:15
Speaker 3: like you said, Browns are off changed, Dylan Gabriels. Now
34:18
Speaker 3: you're starting quarterback no more Joe Flacco and you know,
34:21
Speaker 3: and they're losing ways. And I thought Dylan Gabriel actually
34:23
Speaker 3: did a really good job in the game of distributing
34:25
Speaker 3: the football. They just couldn't come up with points.
34:27
Speaker 2: Like you said, first first ever quarterback to start internationally,
34:30
Speaker 2: never mind rookie, first ever to have a start overseas
34:34
Speaker 2: done well for something under a lot of pressure. They
34:36
Speaker 2: have flats and obviously it's gonna be on the defense stuff.
34:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Harrold Fannin as well is another one that's
34:42
Speaker 3: i mean, another rookie. So you got a lot of
34:44
Speaker 3: youth on that offense side. And then the defensively, I
34:47
Speaker 3: mean Miles Garrett, Mason Graham, I mean Denzel Ward. They
34:50
Speaker 3: got a lot of known guys. They are very tough defense,
34:53
Speaker 3: but they just haven't been able to pull it all
34:55
Speaker 3: together as a team. So we're gonna have our work
34:57
Speaker 3: cut out for us this week against Cleveland. And it's
34:59
Speaker 3: also it's always a KG match we never play, you know,
35:03
Speaker 3: even regardless of where the records are. It's always a
35:06
Speaker 3: tough out. Both these teams know each other so well,
35:09
Speaker 3: and it's going to be a physical fistfight.
35:13
Speaker 2: Look, anytime it's AFC nor if it's it's a different
35:15
Speaker 2: ballgame in a good way. It's going to hopefully be
35:17
Speaker 2: fun to watch and hopefully the Seeders get the win.
35:20
Speaker 2: Just before we get your protection, before we wrap up here.
35:22
Speaker 2: For people listening to NFL on the Zone in Europe,
35:25
Speaker 2: in Ireland and on a OTB Sports radio, if you
35:28
Speaker 2: want to listen to, maybe Max make the call. Who knows,
35:32
Speaker 2: we'll see Mix give us a game pick for this game.
35:34
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say theeter has been twenty fleet seventeen and
35:36
Speaker 2: the Type one just for the crack, but they still
35:39
Speaker 2: the Yeah, you know.
35:40
Speaker 3: What, I'm right there with you. I'm thinking that this
35:43
Speaker 3: is going to be a twenty four to seventeen. I'm
35:49
Speaker 3: gonna go a little bit higher. I think they get
35:52
Speaker 3: three ties. I think DK will get another score, and
35:54
Speaker 3: I think the game we'll get it to the end
35:56
Speaker 3: zone and this one. Then there will be a surprise somewhere,
35:58
Speaker 3: maybe another Bevin Scaronic touch, who knows, but I feel
36:02
Speaker 3: like it's going to be one of those. It's going
36:03
Speaker 3: to be a one possession again.
36:06
Speaker 2: It's funny we went twenty three minutes while talking about
36:09
Speaker 2: Kenny Gamewell on this record, Max, but we've done it
36:11
Speaker 2: there now, good man here, You're welcome back over here anytime.
36:14
Speaker 2: I will see you in week eight for the Packers game.
36:19
Speaker 2: I'll certainly shake your hand and thank you for what
36:22
Speaker 2: you've done, because you've done an awful lot there for
36:23
Speaker 2: a lot of people, not just Steelers fans here over
36:26
Speaker 2: the last few weeks, and I'll try and have a
36:28
Speaker 2: terrible tile off you before we do that as well.
36:30
Speaker 2: But Max Germy Loggat, thanks so much for coming on, sir.
36:34
