  Speaker 3: people in Ireland listening to this will know we have
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: not seen the sun for over ten days. It's been
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: clouds here, so you're definitely picking a better time during
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the year if you do get over.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it's it's very overcast.
• 2:51

• 2:58

  Speaker 3: We have the chance to see you or hear you
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: as well on televisions on Virgin Media when the preseason
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: was on television over here in August, and for yourself,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: that was awesome to see, especially when you chop with
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: somebody and then see them with TV. You know, we're
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: sitting here weeks after you've completed your first year as
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the Playboy advice of the Staters. It's one thing to
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: ask someone how did you find the first year? But
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I think anybody working into the game and any fun
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: watching the game that was It's a long season.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: There's there's a lot going on as well.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: How did you find it where you saw that the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: season obviously came to his natural land.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, especially the way it did when the team started
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: ten and three. I thought we were going to have
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: a longer run in the playoffs, and then obviously the
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: way the season ended and then onto the playoffs as
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: a disappointing finish. But it was a it was a
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: lot of fun and they gave us a lot to
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: get excited about during that ten and three start. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: you know, I enjoyed everything about the job. I enjoyed
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the process. I enjoy I mean I've told this to people.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I enjoy memorizing rosters. I enjoy watching tape. I enjoyed
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: talking to players and coaches, and I enjoy the you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: the the wonderful people we have, not only you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the broadcast crew, the folks behind the scenes as well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It's just, uh, it was just a wonderful season.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: We hobnestly had to wait a little while for the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: home opener this year. We had a couple of games
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: on the road. When did it hit you in a
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: good way that you know, this was your gig? And
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: did it hit you for the first home opener or
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: was it the preseason whenever you have, mister riny besides you,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: how did you how did you find it?
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: And when did it hit you?
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Actually it was longer than that. I mean, it was enjoyable,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and it kind of you know, you know, it's interesting.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: My wife asked me, you know, when I got the job,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: She's like, you know, what, when do you need to
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: start like exhibiting this you know, you've got the Steelers
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: job kind of thing. And I think, you know, they
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: cou'd probably a guy thing. It's like, hey, I gotta
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: get to work at of ll sleeves. Let's go. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and so I was doing a lot of that certainly
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: enjoying the process, having a blast. You know. But when
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I walked into the booth in Cleveland for that Thursday
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: night game, you know, the snow globe game, uh, I
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: think that's kind of when it really hit me. I
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: was like, wow, this is uh, this is great. And
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: so ever since then, you just you know, I was
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: already happy. You You couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just been it's just been such a
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: wonderful experience.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: You're you're, you're keeping that lightly.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I remember watching the build up to that Thursday night
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: game at one o'clock in the morning here that was
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: cold month like that.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: That was cool.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: And I know you guys are the windows, but that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: still cold, you know nothing, that's yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we we we were all the windows up, just
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: so you know. Now Max Starks and Missy Matthews are
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: down on the field and they're bundled up and they
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: are walking around a little bit. It's certainly colder for them.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: But we a wolf and I have the windows open.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: You just can't feel the game unless you can hear
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the crowd and the elements. You know, you need to
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: feel all that stuff. Sometimes the booth gets hot more
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: often than not. It gets cold sometimes, you know. I
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: can't remember which game we were. I think it was
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Baltimore where the windows was like, you know, a little above,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: a little below, and the open part was in the middle.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: So it took me here to your waist, your cold,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: your feet were warm, you know. But you can't you
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: can't do the game unless you're feeling the elements and
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: feeling what the fans are feeling, feeling what the players
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: are feeling. But having said that, a little tougher on
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Max and Missy being down there in the field in
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: a game like that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I can imagine one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: And it's funny you mentioned that, and when Tam and
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: flee situation. A lot of ups, a lot of dins
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: this season, and I have the chance, I just miss you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: I was the game of Christmas Day.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: The atmosphere for me was a special regardless a result,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: it really really is something else before you this season?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Do you have like a fever giy fever player that
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: you commented it on.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: So now, first of all, you've got to you gotta
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: contact me next time you come. Man, come on Christmas Day.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I'd have been.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: There.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: You know, they're at the they were at the game,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I was working, and I would have loved to see
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: you next time. Okay, next time, let me know and
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I'll see when I'll see you when we're in Ireland.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: You know, I think probably uh, you know, there there
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: are a few of them that stick out the uh.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: The game against Washington was a terrific game, and that
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: throw down the sideline from Russell Wilson uh to Mike
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Williams for the touchdown. You know, you're you're thinking they're
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: gonna kind of inst their way and try to maybe
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: get his score, and all of a sudden boom, there's
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the long touchdown pass to put this teethers up and
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: then of course to see this defense had to hold.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: The Cincinnati game was a marvelous shootout, lots of fun.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: The one in Cincinnati which is Steelers one, and then
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the first game against the Ravens that win and then
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: holding off on a two point conversion. It's hard to
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: separate those. I think we're we're the most fun. I mean,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: the Cincinnati game was just NonStop, so that was fun too.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: But the Commander's game is a great game and the
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: raven so it would be hard to pick. Could be
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: like picking my favorite child. It would be hard to
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: pick my favorite among those. But I enjoyed all three
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: for sure, and I enjoyed the whole season.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And they allow our big moments to come as well,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: not just in twenty five, but done the stretches as well.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I actually run in the Wolf on the All Choans
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: on Christmas Day, so definitely next time.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: What was it like working with him this season?
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: He's the best. I mean, he and I had worked
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: together for I don't know, maybe ten years, Michael doing
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: high school football game. So high school football is very
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: big in western Pennsylvania, very big in Pittsburgh, and so
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: we would carry it at the TV station for which
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I work. We would carry a game of the week
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: and Wolf. So Wolf and I work together. We'd known
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: each other a little before then, but that's our friendship
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: really started there. And he's just a wonderful guy to
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: work with. You know, no ego, lots of energy, great insight.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what more you can ask
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: out of somebody. And by the way, I would say
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the same thing about Max and Missy. You know, all
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: anybody cares about on that crew is putting forth the
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: best product available and sometimes you get people that you
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: know want to get their thing in or their sticking
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: or whatever. There's none of that, you know, Missy is
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: is constantly updating us on stuff.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: I think other people would say, well, I'm only gonna
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: update you when I'm on the air. Missy's constantly updating
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: us behind the scenes. She's great, the whole, the whole crew.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Obviously I work most closely with Wolf, but I work
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: you know, we're in constant communication and they're they're just
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the whole crew is terrific. Wolf's the blast. So to
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: answer your question, he's just he what you hear in
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: the air, that's him in real life. There's not a
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: phony bone in his body.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: He's all Wolf.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: He's the best I can I can attest to what
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: you said about Missy because I wanted to say hello
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: to or A on the sideline. I could see she's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: shotting to you guys two and a half hours before
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: carack offs, so we can definitely test that. Look, let's
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: sort of fast forward tonight. NFL combines next week. I'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: actually there's a few of us heading out to Indianapolis
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: next week, really really excited to see some of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: talent that's coming into this draft. How would you analyze
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: as somebody that's off was the being at each game
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: and seeing every every snap from the Steelers team in
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. How would you analyze where we are currently?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Is there any certain development that you'd like to see
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: over the next few months or any sort of positional
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: improvement or are you very much a guy that's sort
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: of wait and see and trust in the process.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Well, so, first of all, I'll see you in Indianapolis, right,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna be there, let's come on now, let's
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: do it, right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: I will see you on Friday, my friend.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, fantastic. Well I'll be there Monday, So I'll see
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: you there and we'll look forward to Monday through Friday.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Now you say this Friday or next Friday.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Friday week and for people listening and hoping to have
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: a little Steelers podcast from Indianapolis, So the day before
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: the quarterback workouts, which is next suspect Friday, we'll.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: See you there and that would be that would be
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: wonderful if we could get together. So, you know, I
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: think that what we saw down the stretch, a lot
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: of it was, you know, first they have to figure
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: out the quarterback situation. As as we're speaking now, I
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: don't you know, they haven't made a decision yet whether
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: they're going to go internal or whether they're going to
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: go external. That's the big story that we're all waiting for, obviously.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: And you know, as you see down the stretch, as
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: the path gets narrower, as Mike Tomlin likes to say,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: you usually end up with an elite quarterback leading the way.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: And you know, Jalen Hurts, maybe he's a little below
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: that elite level. But that then brings you to the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: next subject is how much the Eagles just dominated in
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: the trenches. And this too, there's spent a lot of
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: time on the offensive line. In in recent draft, they
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: did draft Keanu Betton in the second round, but I
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: believe that they will probably go in that direction because
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: that's what they want to do, what we saw in Philadelphia.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: You know, if you have big, strong guys up front,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Yes you need skill players, I understand that, but that
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: plays well no matter the conditions. You know, you get rainy,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: snowy conditions, maybe the passing game isn't that effective. Well,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: big guys, you know, running over other big guys works
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: and no matter what weather it is. So I think
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: that's gonna be a point of emphasis. You know, they
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: need to get a wide receiver, you know, I would
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: they're they're gonna have. They have to address the running
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: back situation. They haven't closed the door Najie Harris coming
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: back for another season or perhaps beyond. Jalen Warrens are
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: restricted free agent. So I think, in no particular order,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: the biggest priorities are probably certainly figuring out quarterback, defensive line.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: And I don't know whether they'll by the way draft
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: the quarterback you talking about the combines, They may they
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: may address that before we get to the combines, the
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: quarterback situation, but I think they're looking at d line.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be a very very deep running back draft,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: not quite as deep. I don't think in wide receivers.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: They may address that in free agency, and obviously see
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: what they do in free agency will impact what direction
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: they would go in the draft. But I think those
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: are the biggest needs for the team.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I think Rob for a lot of Europeans listening and
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys that maybe we've a lot of
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: new listeners, and you're very very welcome that have seen
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: the recent news about Europe and you're all very very welcome.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: We do have a long offseason. The good thing for
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: us is we have a lot to talk about it
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and you've just mentioned a number of things there. So
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a really interesting few weeks and
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: months and obviously looking forward to seeing you at the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Combine next week. Just you know, we have to touch
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: on the news leading into that. We all know what's happening.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: The Steers are coming to Dublin later on this year.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Dates time opponent will be announced later on this year.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: But Rob to go into your second year to have
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: a chance not just to call an international game, but
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: to call the first ever game regular season game in Ireland.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: And as that somebody that's been the cool park many times,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I can tell you it's gonna be really really special.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: When did you or I'll not ask when, but what
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: was your thoughts whenever you find out that the team
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: we're to go, Because it's really really exciting and I
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: think I speak for a lot of people over here.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: It's got the favorite pitch and we're sitting in w A.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's really really exciting. I mean, obviously the
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Steelers have the great connection with mister Rooney being the ambassador,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: you know, and the Rooney name. Obviously. I'm half Irish myself.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I've been to Ireland a couple of times and love
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: the country, loved the people, love the passion. I can't
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I can't wait. I mean, I just I can't wait
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: for the game. I just think it's gonna be an
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: absolute spectacle. I suspect that the the Irish people, you know.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: And I was over there. I watched a little. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: watched the Gaelic football game. I was way back Leith
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: and Mouth, I think, where the team's playing for the championship,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: and I was watching on TV. And I believe, as
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I recall, a fan jumped onto the field and maybe
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: took a swing at one of the officials. So you
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: could see the passion from the Irish and uh and
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: you have to give me a crash course, by the way,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and Gaelic football when I see you, I'd like to
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: learn more about the sport. But I think that the
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: passion is obvious. And to be over there and to
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: see the game, the great game of football spreading, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: to be able to be there in Ireland for the
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: first one there let's go, man, I can't wait for it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: It's very special because you think goals.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I think overall when I had the chance to go
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: to the first game in Germany, and obviously Tom Brady
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: was right, this is the same level for me. It's
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: not more of the family's connection and it's so exciting
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the scene. What's going to happen over the next few
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: weeks and months as we get closer to this And
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: just second last question for me, what's the mood like
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. It seems like there's not just excitement in Ireland,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: but a lot of people are you know, it seems
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: very very excited to get over which I think is
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: pretty special as well.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: There's no question. I mean I've already had it people
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: asking me, hey can you get tickets?
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: By the way, so for my friends it might be
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: watching this in the States, I don't know. And you
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: know a lot of fans of friends of mine are already, uh,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: you know, they're already thinking about, hey, we should go
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: over there. And you know, for people that have never
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: been there, this is a good reason excuse me be made,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: but a good reason to go to Ireland. For those
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: that have been to Ireland, you know, I've heard people say, man,
• 16:16

• 16:17
  Speaker 4: some golf before and some golf after, because of course
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Ireland's got all those great golf courses. So yeah, there's
• 16:23
