I understand and embrace the responsibility, the privilege, and the weight that comes with this stewardship. This city, this franchise, this fan base... It means the world to me because Pittsburgh is my world, and it's just awesome to be back here.
Bob, if I know you, I bet you a tear came to your eye during that.
You know me well. I cry over everything, and that makes me cry.

Chapter 2: How do fans feel about the Steelers' coaching changes?
Because I understand it. I understand exactly how he feels.
I know.
With your family in the front row, I get it. Believe me. And he's right about that. That is an unfair situation to bring your family in the front row when you're looking at the people responsible for who you are. And a literal dream come true. And you've got to look at them. They should be nowhere near the front row.
84 and 87 years old, too.
Wow. Yeah, looking good.
Yeah, looking really good. Well, let's take a couple calls for the big boy here before we delve into the Bill Belichick matter.

Chapter 3: What are the concerns about Will Howard's hype?
Limits?
All right, let's go to Tom. He is calling from Canada. Oh, Canada.
Hello, Tom. Must be really cold there.
Yes, sir. How are you guys? Honestly, I just want to start by saying I love both of you. The energy you have is awesome. Which ones? There's three of us here. Oh, Limits, both of you. I love every personality on the entire fan, man. I'm telling you, it doesn't matter what I do.
Chapter 4: Why was Bill Belichick snubbed from the Hall of Fame?
Wait, you said Limits and who else? He just likes Limits. Limits, Joe, Bob, Malzi. I love everybody. Nobody loves Malzi.
This is a promo waiting to happen, but you've got to put Kabaly's name in there.
Nobody loves Malzi. Malzi's necessary, though. Well, we appreciate it, man. We appreciate you listening from Canada. What's on your mind? Well, I've been a Steelers fan since I was eight. I grew up with Tomlin and Ben, and I think it was time to go for him, but I feel like everybody's too negative about this hire here.
And one stat that just blows my mind is, and it's sad that it goes all the way back to 2021, but the Steelers last 25 games where they put up 25 points at minimum. They're like 19-6.
Chapter 5: What impact does McCarthy's coaching have on quarterback development?
So for everyone to harp on this hire, I understand the whole thing of it seems like we're moving into the next Tomlin and it's complacency. But I know he's going to get this offense right. The scheme's terrible with Arthur Smith. Who's going to be the quarterback? I don't care. I really don't. I don't mind Rodgers for a year. I would love to see Will Howard get a chance.
I think your take on Will Howard's for him. And I respect a lot of your takes. I think he's got the physical tools for it. He's got the size. He moves. What is my take on Will Howard, just out of curiosity? I don't know.
Chapter 6: How does the Steelers' future quarterback situation look?
I feel like deep down you want to give him a shot, but you think that everybody around is hyping him up too much. And I understand that.
Too bad.
Oh, Canada. Oh, Canada.
Oh, Canada. That's too bad.
Bye, Canada, right? Yeah, that was a slip.
It wasn't like he was trying. It just slipped out.
He meant to say that Josh Allen looked like crap. And now, I mean, ring the bell limits. That's a bell ringer. Can you ring it, please?

Chapter 7: What is the significance of transparency in Hall of Fame voting?
We now have somebody mentioning Will Howard in the same breath as, there we go, Josh Allen. That's a bell ringer. That's a really weak bell. I know. Sounds like afternoon tea. Come on down. Would you like Earl Grey or would you prefer hibiscus?
What is that?
Bob, did you go to Ireland with the Steelers? Did you, Mark? No. Did you have, I mean, tea is tea and biscuits and crumpets.
I'm a big tea guy.
I do. I love tea.

Chapter 8: What predictions are made about McCarthy's success with the Steelers?
It's unbelievable there.
Honey has to be in it.
But every time you turn around, someone's giving you a cup of tea. But I heard the food in Ireland's awful. No taste.
I didn't like the food. I didn't like the food. Yeah. But then again, I didn't. That's secondhand. It's really hard to get to places that you probably should go to, but you only had so much time, so.
There's no slice on Broadway in Ireland?
Did you drink Guinness while you were there, Bob? Yes, I'm not a big Guinness fan, though. I'm more Jameson. Did you close any bars?
There were a couple, but we were there pretty late. Do they still have the tradition? Now, I went there in 97 with my brother Johnny, where at the end of the night, when the lights come on and the bar is closed, they sang the Irish national anthem. Did they do that?
I've heard it in Irish, but not at the end of the night. I heard it before the end of the night in a couple of places.
Oh, wow. Sort of like when we were growing up and cable went off the air at midnight. Exactly. Now, why didn't you go to Ireland, as an aside? McAfee was paying for it, wasn't he? Yes, but you know what it was? He turns down a free trip to Ireland. I weaseled my way out because... I just could not fathom flying to Ireland for a game. I'm not much of a plane guy. I'm like you.
