The Pomp And Joe Show

Full Hour with Mark Kaboly on New Years Eve!

31 Dec 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What insights does Mark Kaboly provide from the Steelers award ceremony?

5.853 - 39.218 Unknown

I don't know, Charlie. There's an article in the Post-Gazette on how you can get a loan of snowshoes. Several state parks will loan you snowshoes to walk in. You can do this at Keystone State Park, Laurel Hill, Laurel Highlands, and the Jennings Environmental Education Center. I don't know where that is. And Raccoon Creek State Park. Does snowshoe walking look at all enjoyable to you?

0

39.499 - 53.843 Unknown

Putting giant contraptions on your feet, strapping them to your feet, and then walking in deep snow? It seems more like torture than anything enjoyable. Perhaps I'm wrong. I've always wanted to do it. I've never wanted to do it.

0

54.344 - 61.466 Joe

Never a thought about wanting to do it. I've always wanted to go to Alaska and just walk in the wilderness, and I would need snowshoes for that.

0

61.987 - 66.493 Unknown

On the same note, however- Do you wear your own shoes under the snowshoes, or how does that work?

0

Chapter 2: Who won the media cooperation award and why is it significant?

66.974 - 89.32 Unknown

That I don't know. See, that's something that- They're very much a mystery to me. Yeah. But the idea of strapping a giant contraption to my feet so that I can walk in the snow seems very unappealing. So what are your thoughts on skiing and snowboarding? Well, those are activities. Those are fun. But you're still strapping your feet in- All right, but skiing, you're going down a hill fast.

0

89.661 - 92.515 Unknown

It's an adrenaline to it. It's a sport.

0

92.797 - 95.53 Joe

You could be going downhill depending on how bad your snowshoes are.

0

95.948 - 96.629 Unknown

I guess you could.

0

97.45 - 103.577 Joe

In the same breath, I highly recommend finding the video of Marshawn Lynch snowboarding for the first time. It is quite hysterical.

Chapter 3: How do the Steelers compare facing Lamar Jackson versus Snoop Huntley?

104.318 - 127.204 Unknown

I'll tell you what I do like is tubing. I've done that up at Deep Creek and other places. That's fun. You get on an inner tube and you go down a hill. Very simple, very fun. Trekking for miles with these giant... I don't know. What do they even look like? I picture them as... Almost like musical instruments strapped to your feet.

0

127.685 - 135.755 Joe

They kind of look like tennis rackets. Tennis rackets, yeah. With like spikes on them. Right. What is the appeal here? Is anybody texting us?

0

Chapter 4: What were the worst moments for the Steelers in 2025 according to Kaboly?

137.558 - 145.868 Joe

Somebody just said go to some YouTube channel. Please watch this YouTube channel, Outdoor Boys, for all your Alaskan needs. Whatever.

0

146.978 - 156.906 Unknown

Do you wear just your socks with the snowshoes or do you wear your actual shoes and then strap them over that? That's another question I have. Where's Kabali?

0
0

157.829 - 161.734 Unknown

He told me earlier he would come on at noon or maybe a little after. It's now eight after.

0

162.295 - 165.139 Joe

I will continue the efforts to get him.

165.439 - 181.62 Unknown

Ridiculous, this guy. Does this every single week, intentionally sabotages the show. Maybe because I'm so resistant to this, I should actually do this. I should actually go snowshoe walking.

181.881 - 187.448 Joe

Yes, you wear your own shoes with snowshoes, but they need to be sturdy, waterproof, and insulated.

Chapter 5: What predictions does Mark make for the Steelers-Ravens game?

189.368 - 214.383 Unknown

I guess I can imagine five minutes into this or maybe 30 seconds into this saying, why am I doing this? Why? I don't like why would like going for a hike through the snow? OK, maybe, maybe. But then making it more difficult. How does it make it easier? To strap this giant contraction, contraption to your shoes. Maybe it helps you like wade through the depths of the snow.

0

214.403 - 224.175 Joe

Maybe. Maybe it does. Instead of like lifting your foot and like taking giant steps, it helps easier. It makes it easier walking normally.

0

224.515 - 228.359 Unknown

I don't think I'm ever going to do this. You ever been on a snowmobile? No.

0

Chapter 6: How does the transfer portal impact college football dynamics?

229.661 - 230.842 Joe

I've been on a jet ski before.

0

231.223 - 256.72 Unknown

You like the jet skis? I like jet skis. They're fun. I really don't like snow recreation, though. I hate skiing, actually, now that you mention it. I hate it. I truly hate it. I'm fearful of the lift where I had a traumatic experience as a kid in Sweden when we lived there. Actually, it was Austria. It was on the way to Sweden where I almost fell out of the whole ritual of skiing.

0

256.7 - 269.509 Unknown

How many times can you possibly go down? And then every time you go down, it takes an hour to get back up on the ski lift. The ski lift is frightening or you have to walk or grab onto a rope. Then you're at the top of the mountain.

0

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Steelers' performance on Mike Tomlin's future?

269.529 - 290.875 Unknown

There's 18 million people there. You're afraid someone, one of these guys who's showing off just like the ice skating rink. It's going to blow out a knee. You could go flying into a tree. I don't know how to stop. It's not fun. In fact, it's an out-of-control feeling when I'm skiing. I'm like, I have no control over this. There's nothing enjoyable. It sounds great. Let's go skiing.

0

290.855 - 297.641 Unknown

It's a snowy day. It's beautiful. We'll have hot cocoa in the lounge. Even the renting of the skis is a bloody nightmare.

0

Chapter 8: What were the best and worst plays for the Steelers this season?

298.002 - 301.004 Unknown

I hate skiing. And I just wanted to say that out loud.

0

301.305 - 304.948 Joe

I absolutely hate it. So we know what you're not going to be doing in 2026.

0

305.108 - 306.73 Unknown

Yes, there will be no skiing.

0

307.25 - 331.529 Joe

Used to wear snowshoes in deep snow as a conservation officer in north central Pennsylvania. Really only necessary in snow one-to-one and half a foot. So... Pretty, not deep. You strap them on to the bottom of your boots. Half a foot is pretty deep, really. You strap them on to the bottom of your boots and they keep you up on the surface so you're not as tired as walking. Okay.

0

333.192 - 343.191 Joe

How does that work? I don't know. Are these magical snow boots where you just glide on top of the snow? What if it's like really fluffy snow? Do you stay on top of the fluffy snow?

343.271 - 362.341 Unknown

I don't know. And I'll tell you another thing. I hate ice skating. And I'm finally going to admit that out loud. I used to go with my daughter all the time. And it was an absolute nightmare. Every second of it, the skates hurt. Yep. Especially rental skates. Oh, yeah. I've gone to the places where they give you the cheapest rental skates.

363.062 - 386.193 Unknown

And then you get out there and you're all like a bunch of idiots skating in a circle. With people in front of you, behind you. And like I said, there's always one or two that for some reason think this is the time to show off. So they're weaving in and out. And I keep telling myself one false move and this little idiot's going to blow out my knee. There's nothing enjoyable about this.

386.273 - 409.904 Unknown

Plus, I don't know how to stop in skating either. I suppose and have had experiences over at Mount Lebanon ice rink that were great because nobody was there. I used to go during the workday before the 2 p.m. show, and I work with Malzi and Josh and John Seibel. And Pony for a week. Colin Dunlap for a week. Am I missing anybody? Ron for many years.

410.806 - 438.293 Unknown

I could go over to the Mount Lebanon ice rink, rent a pair of skates, and then just have a walk. It was just me. Now, that was fun because you can go as fast as you want. I still couldn't stop. But as fast as you want in a circle or do sprints. However, I became ashamed then because on a lot of days, it was me and a figure skater with her coach. Not the same one, but often a figure skater.
