Who is Brian Flores and what is his connection to the Steelers?
All right, Steelers are talking to Brian Flores today, the defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings, former defensive assistant linebackers coach of the Steelers in 2022 after he was the head coach with the Miami Dolphins. We're also going to talk to Mike McCarthy, former head coach of the Packers and of the Cowboys. So... Joe seems caught off guard by that. And they're also expected to talk to Anthony Weaver for a second interview.
Who's talking to Mike McDaniel?
Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy's talking to Mike McDaniel? No, Mike McCarthy's talking to the Steelers. He has lost his mind. More headlines at 937thefan.com. Headlines there powered by Bowser Chevrolet. And Brian Backo is next. Your mic remained on, so everybody heard you yawn in the background. I don't care.
What are the implications of the Sean McVay coaching tree for the Steelers?
Maybe you should. I don't think people want to hear yawning as they're driving to work or driving from work.
Who are you to speak for them? Listen to this, Limits. So I am to speak for them. Listen to this. You know I'm writing for the Trib now, right? Yeah. They have a nice man named Brian. In their human resources department. Did you pass your drug test? I don't know yet. But I'm having back and forth emails with him because he's getting me set up. And in our email exchange, there's an AI overview. Why is AI involved in a personal email exchange?
Why does Brian Batko believe Chris Shula is the favorite for the next head coach?
Here's what it says. I don't feel bad saying it since AI is obviously watching it. Here's the AI overview of my week with Brian at the Trib. One, Brian requested a 30-minute meeting to explain available benefits to Joe. Two, Joe expressed confusion. What a surprise. Two, Joe expressed confusion about paycheck approval and suggested connecting on Monday, which Brian declined. Which Brian declined. Brian and Joe tentatively agreed to meet on Tuesday, but Brian later reduced the requested time to 15 minutes. What is happening here, Limits? Is anything private anymore? How is AI in there monitoring my email exchange with a private employer? Well, what type of email is it? Is it Gmail?
Yeah.
What makes Indiana's 16-0 season historically significant?
Well, because there's a Gemini Google Gmail feature. That's who did it.
It says, buy Gemini. That will automatically do that. I don't want that to do that.
I want to fire that.
Turn it off. Get Gemini out of here. Turn Gemini off. Who turned it on? Me or Brian? I don't know why it's on or when it's on. Gmail turned it on. Then how do I turn it off? I don't know.
How does the 2019 LSU team compare to Indiana's best season ever?
Go. I'm sick of this crap. I look down at my phone and sometimes it's recording me and I don't know how to not record me. It's recording you. It'll do a transcription. All of a sudden there'll be a ghost mysterious text with what I just said in a text. Well, that means that you probably bumped the microphone button. Yeah, I don't want to bump microphone buttons. What if I say something horrible about one of my bosses and it gets on there? Take Siri off.
Turn Siri off. That's what I did.
All right, show me that in a minute here. Let's go to the Mongoose.
Look up Siri and just turn it off.
What are the arguments for and against AI's impact on sports journalism?
All right. But you make it sound so easy.
Just look it up. That's the key to a lot of things.
Hello, Mongoose. Joe, you make it sound like there's a minion monitoring your account. Isn't there? And summarizing these things. No, it's just a computer program that's embedded in your Gmail. I have it doing with my emails too now. Who has access to that computer program, Brian? I guess whatever email software you use, Gmail in your case and mine. Somebody's monitoring or somebody's administering that. Somebody invented that. And somebody's reading my emails is my conclusion.
How do the Steelers' coaching candidates stack up against each other?
I love these. I love these occasional dives into into AI. And because I heard you guys talk about this before limits put me on, I went to chat DPT and I typed in. What can you tell me about Austin Beck told? Oh, what do you got? Yeah. Austin Bechtold is a sports media professional and journalist based in Pittsburgh. He's built a career in sports broadcasting, radio production, and print-slash-digital journalism. Wow. Shall I continue? Please. Can I ask about his persona? And his personal life. Yes, both. I think I'm going to say, what about his persona?
