What are the expectations for the Steelers in the upcoming game?
Here we go. Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl. Here we go.
Cheer to Steelers.
Black and a gold. Here Bob goes. First class on the Steelers' charter.
Here Bob goes.
Bob, if they make it to the Super Bowl, will you go on their charter? That's the question.
I don't know.
I think you will.
I don't know. I would love, you know, that's in San Francisco, which is a challenge, you know, when we do the business we do here.
Here Bob goes, first class on our private plane.
How does the Steelers' performance post-Roethlisberger compare to the past?
Here Bob goes.
Here Bob goes with champagne. Here we go. I like that. A bunch of champagne for Bob.
You've got to have champagne.
If you're going to the Super Bowl, you've got to have champagne. Bob, I have a question. You know how in Home Alone, they fly to Paris, and they're sitting in first class, and they have these huge, very comfy chairs that they're sitting in? Is that what first class used to look like years ago, like in the 90s?
Used to. Not anymore. Really? To be honest, it's not worth it. Unless you're going overseas or something, you get one of those, they have these new things where you can actually lay down and kind of reclines.
What strategies do the hosts suggest for winning against the Texans?
Have you ever gone on a plane that has beds on it?
No.
I have. When the Penguins flew to Tokyo in the year 2000, guys were sleeping.
Back then? Yeah.
Did you have one? No. I'm a sports writer.
They had me in the most uncomfortable seat possible. No, I know. To me, the first class part of what's going on, it's not the same. All it is is a drape now that separates you from the rest of the general population.
It's like the old smoking, non-smoking on planes.
But it used to be much better.
What are the implications of winning or losing the coin toss?
Plus, you'd get everything just in today. I don't think they do that in first class today.
Row 13 is smoking. Row 14 is non-smoking. But they get the smoke blown in their face the whole trip.
That doesn't make any sense.
That actually happened. Am I right, Bob? The non-smoking and smoking would just be separated by nothing, just the row.
You're in that little cubicle, that chamber there. If someone's smoking, you're going to inhale it at some point, regardless of where you are.
Can you believe that people just used to light up cigarettes on planes? Limits?
Can you even conceive of that? Honestly, no.
How do the hosts view the Texans' playoff performance history?
I could not see that happening. That just sounds so dangerous.
And then they'd wheel out a whole dinner, like the steak you had the other day.
Alcohol, whatever you ate. They had it catered by some fancy restaurant and those of you in the front seat. And, you know... But the smell lingers. Even when someone's having a really good dinner, you could smell it in the back. Oh, yeah. You're thinking, oh, man, I get chips. Now you get a pretzel.
You get a cracker.
You get some cookies. Although I do like those. Same works when you expel gas.
What challenges do the Texans face in the playoff game?
I've been in those situations where someone did that, and then it just went everywhere. Wow. And no one took accountability for their- I thought you meant they were fueling the plane, Bob. No, I'm talking about someone- Expelling gas.
When did they stop doing that? Not the gas, but the food on the plane.
Maybe that's hand in hand. Those first class people eat all that stuff and then they expel gas and it goes backwards.
Comes with privileges, Bob. Although we've talked about this before, I love those little cinnamon crackers they hand out on the plane. Oh, they're so good.
Those are a treat. Yeah, but it's not a big meal.
No, it's not.
How do the hosts assess the coaching strategies of both teams?
It's cinnamon crackers. Who's next?
Here is Gary.
Gary is in Moon. Hey, Gary. Hey, how you doing? I've never been better. How are you?
I'm fine and dandy. Before we start talking football, I want to say how sorry I am about Mr. Justy. Years ago, I caddied for him and Jerry Royce at the Montour Country Club in Moon.
I love Jerry Royce. He's a really nice guy, too. Did you get to know Jerry Royce? Yeah, the big lefty with the blonde hair, the blonde bomber.
What are the final predictions for the Steelers vs. Texans game?
Just two wonderful guys. But anyways, the Steelers, I think they definitely have a chance. It seems like since Roethlisberger left, Tomlin has the ability, their players have the ability. We win ugly, we lose ugly. And it's just the way we play that brings the teams to our caliber or we go to their caliber, whatever it may be.
