All right, this is interesting. I brought up the name Frank Michael Smith, and all hell broke loose. Limits knew who he was. Bob says he's a worldwide TikTok influencer. Is that going too far,
Limits? No, that is a hundred percent correct. If you look on TikTok you'll see If you look on TikTok, you'll see.
again very concise to the point and and arguments that are really enhanced by his use of videos, graphics and everything else. So I compliment him on that. I always have. I thought And I know his dad, so I'm sure his dad's very proud of what he's been able to do.
Very good. I just happened to somebody alerted me to a tweet that I agreed with. Um That Frank Michael Smith put out twenty three hours ago, only one of the Steelers' last twelve first round picks has received a second contract with the team. You won't hear it on TV, but his inability to draft and develop talent ultimately led to his playoff losing streak, which led to his departure. True. And precisely the topic that I have maybe for my first trib column Saturday, Bob, which was gonna be something along the line What the national media never tells you about the Mike Tomlin tenure. That's if you pass your P test. If I pass yeah. So I I already like Frank Michael Smith. Well let's bring him on. FMS they call him, I think.
Yeah. And there he is. There he is. There he is. What's going on here? What's going on here? How does everybody know? How does
everybody know you except me? Because
you're
not on TikTok.
Oh yeah.
Right?
Right? That's where We gotta get you on there. I'm on everywhere. X, TikTok, Yeah, but TikTok has been the
spring that's been the springboard, correct? You you You did it from an early part of TikTok and you've developed it to the point that you've got millions of people following your work. So congratulations.
Yeah, TikTok was first. I started there in twenty twenty. I started doing uh more evergreen stories, and then as things progressed, I started doing uh more opinion style and pomp. That's what you were talking about.
Mm-hmm. You're already he already knows you on a pomp name basis. Pomp?
Yeah. Oh yeah. Pomp and I are tight. Pomp's one of my biggest supporters. Thank you, Pomp. Always have been.
Wow. I because I see stuff that I cannot do. Okay. I look at that and I said, damn it. That's a great what he does. And and he said that I'm serious. He I know. Weren't you just at a TikTok convention or something where they brought you up as one of the serious or one of the best influencers? Yeah, the TikTok awards in LA. It's
a real thing now. You gotta get on there.
Do you have Bob uh dancing at any of your TikToks or have you reposted those?
No, we're you know what? If the Steelers hire the right coach, we might get that.
Why do the hosts argue the Steelers need an offensive‑minded head coach?
Bob, I'm starting to get the feeling with our big boss back there that I've introduced my successor here. And it's gonna be Pomp Pomp and Smitty. Pomp and Smitty in a matter of a matter of months.
Anyway, um yeah, the congrats on all the success. Like I said, I think Uh, your family's very proud of you. You had to I and I'm just for those who don't know you and don't know how you came about this, w when did it hit you that you wanted to do this, especially on this platform, that TikTok platform, knowing how it was taking off?
Well, I worked in sports media before twenty twenty. So I was I was kind of early on the trends and I could see original content was clearly what was winning. So, you know, my company at the time wasn't really committing to it and I was like, you know what, I have these skills, let me just try and do it myself and uh put some TikToks out there and you know, that was the start of it. Where are you from? From Fox Chapel. His dad's a golf two. Good golf. This
is how you meet people, Joe, the golf game.
About college.
Miami, Ohio, undefeated right now. College basketball, by the way. I saw that. Nice.
Yeah, they are undefeated. Well, all right, let's get to some opinions here because what jumped out to me was you're right about Mike Tomlin, and you don't hear that. From people on national television. You don't hear how much of a role he had in roster construction and how he failed so often at that.
