1
00:00:08,134 --> 00:00:09,594
- Stories.
2
00:00:09,635 --> 00:00:12,013
- Since the dawn of time,
we've relied on stories
3
00:00:12,055 --> 00:00:13,639
to entertain and enlighten.
4
00:00:13,681 --> 00:00:15,349
- Be they tales of adventure,
5
00:00:15,391 --> 00:00:17,935
love, loss,
or abject stupidity,
6
00:00:17,977 --> 00:00:20,772
these sagas are passed down
through generations,
7
00:00:20,813 --> 00:00:23,733
a grand catalogue
of our collective experience.
8
00:00:23,775 --> 00:00:25,610
- But what about
those epic stories
9
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:28,446
only shared among
a small circle of friends?
10
00:00:28,488 --> 00:00:30,406
How do they achieve
the legendary status
11
00:00:30,448 --> 00:00:32,950
they so richly deserve?
12
00:00:32,992 --> 00:00:34,702
- By being told here.
13
00:00:34,744 --> 00:00:37,580
- Welcome to the ultimate
chronicle of humanity.
14
00:00:37,622 --> 00:00:41,125
- This is "True Story
with Ed and Randall."
15
00:00:41,167 --> 00:00:43,711
[dramatic music]
16
00:00:43,753 --> 00:00:46,005
- Good evening,
and welcome to "True Story."
17
00:00:46,047 --> 00:00:48,049
Real stories, real people,
18
00:00:48,091 --> 00:00:50,134
real hosts
completely in the dark
19
00:00:50,176 --> 00:00:51,469
about what
they're about to hear.
20
00:00:51,511 --> 00:00:53,221
- That's right, Randall,
we know nothing
21
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:54,806
about the story
that's coming our way.
22
00:00:54,847 --> 00:00:56,140
Not a clue.
23
00:00:56,182 --> 00:00:57,600
The only thing we're sure of
24
00:00:57,642 --> 00:00:59,727
is that it's going to be
a wild ride.
25
00:00:59,769 --> 00:01:01,646
- Well,
and one other thing, Ed.
26
00:01:01,687 --> 00:01:04,148
We know our storyteller's name.
Hi, Rick.
27
00:01:04,190 --> 00:01:05,358
- Gentlemen,
thanks for having me.
28
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,484
I appreciate it.
29
00:01:06,526 --> 00:01:07,693
- It's great to have you, Rick.
30
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:09,737
We can't wait
to hear your tale.
31
00:01:09,779 --> 00:01:14,158
Is it a crazy story,
or is it a mellow story?
32
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,493
- Keep going.
33
00:01:15,535 --> 00:01:17,662
- Is it an
absolutely insane story?
34
00:01:17,703 --> 00:01:18,830
- It's all that.
35
00:01:18,871 --> 00:01:20,248
You're gonna fall
right out of your seat.
36
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:21,833
[both laugh]
Telling you right now.
37
00:01:21,874 --> 00:01:24,127
- All right.
That's a hell of a promise.
38
00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:25,545
- Yeah.
39
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:27,463
- So where and when
does this story begin?
40
00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:30,925
- Well, let's see here.
Let's go back to 1978.
41
00:01:30,967 --> 00:01:32,385
[upbeat music]
42
00:01:32,427 --> 00:01:33,970
I grew up on the north side
of Pittsburgh,
43
00:01:34,011 --> 00:01:35,138
down by the stadiums.
44
00:01:35,179 --> 00:01:37,014
We're big Steeler fans
in Pittsburgh,
45
00:01:37,056 --> 00:01:38,725
as you probably know.
46
00:01:38,766 --> 00:01:41,477
- How old are you?
- 24.
47
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:42,687
- What kind of 24-year-old
are you?
48
00:01:42,729 --> 00:01:44,981
- Oh, I'm mild-mannered, calm,
49
00:01:45,022 --> 00:01:46,441
as you can probably tell.
50
00:01:46,482 --> 00:01:49,110
[laughter]
51
00:01:49,152 --> 00:01:51,821
Pittsburgh's a--you know,
it was a steel town back then,
52
00:01:51,863 --> 00:01:55,658
and, you know, blue-collar,
and so, you know,
53
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:59,996
we carried that right over
into the Steelers.
54
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:03,833
- Okay, so Steelers is a huge
part of Pittsburgh culture
55
00:02:03,875 --> 00:02:05,376
and a huge part of your life,
it sounds like.
56
00:02:05,418 --> 00:02:06,669
- Yes.
- These are your heroes.
57
00:02:06,711 --> 00:02:08,880
- Not just mine, everybody's.
Bradshaw.
58
00:02:08,921 --> 00:02:11,215
I mean, that guy could throw
a ball a country mile.
59
00:02:11,257 --> 00:02:12,717
- Yeah.
- And, you know,
60
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:16,512
the whole theme that season
for us was...
61
00:02:16,554 --> 00:02:18,014
was, whatever it takes.
62
00:02:18,056 --> 00:02:19,557
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
63
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:20,683
- Every season, like,
64
00:02:20,725 --> 00:02:22,268
everything shuts down
on Sundays.
65
00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:24,103
The Steelers are playing,
shut it down.
66
00:02:24,145 --> 00:02:25,271
[machines beeping]
67
00:02:25,313 --> 00:02:27,482
- What are you doing?
It's Sunday.
68
00:02:27,523 --> 00:02:29,150
The game's on, you goons.
69
00:02:29,192 --> 00:02:31,611
- God damn it!
- He's right.
70
00:02:31,652 --> 00:02:33,863
- Time of death: kickoff.
71
00:02:33,905 --> 00:02:35,531
[crowd cheering]
[sustained tone]
72
00:02:35,573 --> 00:02:38,076
- And so what would happen was,
every Sunday, we would meet up,
73
00:02:38,117 --> 00:02:41,079
and we would get the cases
of beer or whatever, you know,
74
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,872
and we'd go down to the stadium
in the parking lot.
75
00:02:42,914 --> 00:02:45,416
We're notorious
for our tailgate parties.
76
00:02:45,458 --> 00:02:46,501
- Who's we?
- Who's we?
77
00:02:46,542 --> 00:02:50,088
[upbeat rock music]
78
00:02:50,129 --> 00:02:53,716
- Me and my brothers.
I had a brother named John.
79
00:02:55,134 --> 00:02:56,594
- Hey, Ricky, how's it going?
80
00:02:56,636 --> 00:02:58,721
- There it is.
A brother named Kurt.
81
00:03:00,139 --> 00:03:02,892
Hey, Cousin Mikey!
- Hey, Ricky! Bop! Bop!
82
00:03:02,934 --> 00:03:03,935
- Cousin Mike.
83
00:03:03,976 --> 00:03:06,437
- Bop, bop, bop!
84
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:07,980
- My older brothers,
Paul and George.
85
00:03:08,022 --> 00:03:10,441
- Bo, bo, bo. My guys.
86
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:16,489
Careful, ladies.
These guys got something.
87
00:03:16,531 --> 00:03:17,782
- So you're at a bar drinking.
88
00:03:17,824 --> 00:03:19,534
- No, we're outside.
We were outside drinkers.
89
00:03:19,575 --> 00:03:20,952
- Oh, okay. Okay.
90
00:03:20,993 --> 00:03:22,662
- You get in a bar fight,
you know what I mean,
91
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,288
you don't know what--
you need room.
92
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:25,873
- Where are you drinking?
93
00:03:25,915 --> 00:03:27,625
- Back then, it was called
The Log.
94
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:29,836
It had been there
since the '30s.
95
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:32,255
Generations of people I ran
into used to drink down there.
96
00:03:32,296 --> 00:03:33,631
- And it's literally a log
that everybody sits on?
97
00:03:33,673 --> 00:03:35,091
- It's a log. It's a log.
98
00:03:35,133 --> 00:03:37,719
Hey, that was a good game
last week, huh?
99
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,264
- Solid.
- We beat the Redskins good.
100
00:03:41,305 --> 00:03:42,223
Think they'll ever
change that name?
101
00:03:42,265 --> 00:03:43,474
- No.
- No way.
102
00:03:43,516 --> 00:03:45,059
- Okay, so that log's seen
a lot of stories.
103
00:03:45,101 --> 00:03:48,020
- Oh, my God.
- What's your sob story, bucko?
104
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:49,355
- I'm an Eagles fan.
[record scratch]
105
00:03:49,397 --> 00:03:50,648
- Whoa!
- The Eagles?
106
00:03:50,690 --> 00:03:51,816
- Get him outta here!
- Who brought this guy?
107
00:03:51,858 --> 00:03:53,025
- You looking
for a fight, buddy?
108
00:03:53,067 --> 00:03:55,153
- That's just a regular day,
hanging out.
109
00:03:55,194 --> 00:03:56,279
- It's a regular Sunday,
game day.
110
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,780
- Regular Sunday.
It's game day.
111
00:03:57,822 --> 00:03:58,948
Right, right, right.
- Oh, it's game day.
112
00:03:58,990 --> 00:04:01,534
So we're down there,
and we're talking.
113
00:04:01,576 --> 00:04:03,494
Now, we had been
to a couple games,
114
00:04:03,536 --> 00:04:04,912
and what we decided was--
115
00:04:04,954 --> 00:04:06,664
in the beginning
of the season is, like,
116
00:04:06,706 --> 00:04:08,624
hey, you know,
we're a part of this team.
117
00:04:08,666 --> 00:04:10,168
We're a big part of this team.
118
00:04:10,209 --> 00:04:12,670
- Listen up--
when we get out there today,
119
00:04:12,712 --> 00:04:14,839
I want you to remember
one thing:
120
00:04:14,881 --> 00:04:19,427
red eyes, full cans,
can't lose!
121
00:04:19,469 --> 00:04:21,512
[all cheer]
- Let's go, Steelers!
122
00:04:21,554 --> 00:04:24,807
- Who's got the tickets?
I'm just kidding.
123
00:04:24,849 --> 00:04:28,853
We don't need tickets!
We're part of the team, baby!
124
00:04:28,895 --> 00:04:30,021
- You know, that's how we felt.
125
00:04:30,063 --> 00:04:32,190
So we shouldn't have
to pay to get in.
126
00:04:32,231 --> 00:04:33,858
- [snorts]
- Did--did--
127
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:36,027
did the Steelers feel
the same way about you?
128
00:04:36,069 --> 00:04:37,028
- We never asked.
129
00:04:37,070 --> 00:04:40,281
[laughter]
130
00:04:41,365 --> 00:04:44,702
- But you felt you were a very
important part of the team.
131
00:04:44,744 --> 00:04:46,579
- Yeah.
- We knew we were.
132
00:04:46,621 --> 00:04:48,664
Hey, can I tell
you guys something?
133
00:04:48,706 --> 00:04:50,541
Sneaking into these
Steelers games with you goons
134
00:04:50,583 --> 00:04:52,585
is the best thing in my life.
135
00:04:52,627 --> 00:04:55,713
all: Go, Steelers!
[all cheering]
136
00:04:55,755 --> 00:04:57,548
- You're also drunk out
of your minds at this point.
137
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:59,008
- So we're drinking,
and we're carrying on,
138
00:04:59,050 --> 00:05:00,259
and having fun,
and we're, like--
139
00:05:00,301 --> 00:05:02,678
we always would go
a little bit early.
140
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,182
- Well, boys, how we sneaking
into the game this week?
141
00:05:06,224 --> 00:05:09,102
- Okay, one, two, three. Go!
142
00:05:09,143 --> 00:05:10,645
- I'm up! Guys, I'm up!
143
00:05:10,686 --> 00:05:11,938
- Because we wasn't sure
144
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:14,148
if we were going to climb
into the stadium...
145
00:05:14,190 --> 00:05:19,195
* *
146
00:05:19,237 --> 00:05:22,281
If we were gonna rush
the gate with 30 people
147
00:05:22,323 --> 00:05:23,950
and lift the gate up.
148
00:05:28,162 --> 00:05:30,957
George, pick it up. Come on.
149
00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:35,795
Go, Steelers!
150
00:05:35,837 --> 00:05:37,630
- Yeah, this isn't
"Mission: Impossible."
151
00:05:37,672 --> 00:05:39,757
It's just,
"How do we get into the game?"
152
00:05:39,799 --> 00:05:41,259
- Sometimes, it was, though.
153
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:42,844
- Yeah.
- You know?
154
00:05:42,885 --> 00:05:45,763
- But you don't have a seat.
Do you just wander around?
155
00:05:45,805 --> 00:05:47,223
- Who needs seats?
- Who needs seats?
156
00:05:47,265 --> 00:05:48,516
- Who needs seats?
- But a lot of people
157
00:05:48,558 --> 00:05:49,976
didn't like to be
in the nosebleed seats.
158
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:51,477
- Yeah.
- You know, and honestly,
159
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:52,895
that was the most fun up there.
160
00:05:52,937 --> 00:05:54,480
And that season was
pretty good.
161
00:05:54,522 --> 00:05:56,482
And so we'd just finished
the playoffs,
162
00:05:56,524 --> 00:05:57,859
and we won the playoffs,
so we're going
163
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,694
to the Super Bowl,
and it's like, "We're going."
164
00:05:59,736 --> 00:06:02,113
- The Steelers were going
to the Super Bowl.
165
00:06:02,155 --> 00:06:03,698
- Super Bowl.
We crushed it in the playoffs.
166
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:05,241
- Where is the Super Bowl?
167
00:06:05,283 --> 00:06:06,909
- It's down in Miami
at the Orange Bowl.
168
00:06:06,951 --> 00:06:08,244
- Okay.
169
00:06:08,286 --> 00:06:10,204
- So we were pretty excited
there, you know.
170
00:06:10,246 --> 00:06:11,622
The only conversation was,
171
00:06:11,664 --> 00:06:12,832
"We're going
to the Super Bowl."
172
00:06:12,874 --> 00:06:14,751
- Did you have tickets
to this game?
173
00:06:14,792 --> 00:06:15,877
- No.
- Okay.
174
00:06:15,918 --> 00:06:17,170
- Why would we have tickets?
175
00:06:17,211 --> 00:06:19,130
- All right.
- Man, we're part of the team.
176
00:06:19,172 --> 00:06:20,715
- I love that thinking.
- They're part of the team.
177
00:06:20,757 --> 00:06:22,967
- Yes, they are. They are.
I'm sorry.
178
00:06:23,009 --> 00:06:24,635
- Does the team need tickets
to the game?
179
00:06:24,677 --> 00:06:25,678
- No.
- No!
180
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,013
- Right.
- I think he gets it now.
181
00:06:27,055 --> 00:06:28,264
- Okay.
- I get it now.
182
00:06:28,306 --> 00:06:31,225
- Welcome to NBC Sports'
special coverage
183
00:06:31,267 --> 00:06:34,437
of Rick Steigerwald
and his insane brothers.
184
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:35,521
- I'm Joe Jankowicz.
185
00:06:35,563 --> 00:06:37,648
Alongside me as always,
186
00:06:37,690 --> 00:06:40,109
my right-hand man
on my left-hand side,
187
00:06:40,151 --> 00:06:41,736
Don "Big Bean" Green.
188
00:06:41,778 --> 00:06:43,488
Big Bean, how we looking today?
189
00:06:43,529 --> 00:06:45,615
- Beautiful, Joe,
frigging beautiful.
190
00:06:45,656 --> 00:06:47,200
That's right,
tonight's the big game,
191
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:48,576
Steelers verse Cowboys
192
00:06:48,618 --> 00:06:50,620
at the beautiful Orange Bowl
in Miami.
193
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:51,996
Joe, this is gonna
be a good one.
194
00:06:52,038 --> 00:06:54,332
- Oh, you got that right, Don.
195
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:56,709
I am excited to see
the frigging legend himself,
196
00:06:56,751 --> 00:06:58,920
Terry Bradshaw,
on the field tonight.
197
00:06:58,961 --> 00:07:00,380
- You know what I'm really
looking forward to is,
198
00:07:00,421 --> 00:07:01,672
what does Rick Steigerwald
199
00:07:01,714 --> 00:07:04,133
and his brothers
have in store for us tonight?
200
00:07:04,175 --> 00:07:07,178
- Oh, well, there is no denying
that they are definitely
201
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:08,971
the heart and soul
of this team.
202
00:07:09,013 --> 00:07:10,515
- 100%.
203
00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:12,183
I think they're really gonna
pull something out of the hat.
204
00:07:12,225 --> 00:07:14,852
Joe, I can't wait to see
what it is.
205
00:07:14,894 --> 00:07:16,938
- I didn't want to let it go
with just,
206
00:07:16,979 --> 00:07:19,357
like, "Okay, we might
get tickets, we might"--
207
00:07:19,399 --> 00:07:22,318
'cause I wasn't sure
of the layout too much.
208
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,947
So--but what I did do was,
I made a grappling hook.
209
00:07:25,988 --> 00:07:29,283
- A grappling hook?
- You familiar? Like Batman?
210
00:07:29,325 --> 00:07:31,035
- Yeah, I know what it is.
211
00:07:31,077 --> 00:07:32,537
- How did you make
this grappling hook?
212
00:07:32,578 --> 00:07:33,830
- Well, I'm a welder.
213
00:07:33,871 --> 00:07:36,207
I had 3/4 carbon steel,
and I bent it.
214
00:07:36,249 --> 00:07:39,669
I ground hooks on the ends
of the rods that I cut off,
215
00:07:39,711 --> 00:07:41,087
and then I rolled them
into one.
216
00:07:41,129 --> 00:07:42,630
I welded them together
and put a ring on the end
217
00:07:42,672 --> 00:07:44,382
and tied a rope on it,
put knots in it,
218
00:07:44,424 --> 00:07:45,758
and I'm gonna practice with it.
219
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,718
I don't want to get down there
and not be able
220
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:48,010
to throw it up there, right?
221
00:07:48,052 --> 00:07:49,804
Size check.
222
00:07:52,181 --> 00:07:53,808
[glass shatters]
223
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:55,685
It's too small.
224
00:07:55,727 --> 00:07:59,772
* *
225
00:07:59,814 --> 00:08:03,067
Size check.
226
00:08:03,109 --> 00:08:06,487
- Ow! Rick, my head!
- Huh, too big!
227
00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:08,114
So I went and made
a lighter one
228
00:08:08,156 --> 00:08:11,033
out of 3/8 stainless steel,
which is a lot lighter,
229
00:08:11,075 --> 00:08:12,785
and it was a lot stronger.
230
00:08:16,622 --> 00:08:19,000
Third time's the charm.
231
00:08:20,793 --> 00:08:22,253
[glass shatters]
232
00:08:22,295 --> 00:08:23,755
Al dente!
233
00:08:23,796 --> 00:08:25,757
- Don, Rick is not
messing around.
234
00:08:25,798 --> 00:08:27,842
He's pulling out
all the stops tonight.
235
00:08:27,884 --> 00:08:29,761
- And all the hooks--
slap some pigtails on him
236
00:08:29,802 --> 00:08:31,429
and call him Goldilocks.
237
00:08:31,471 --> 00:08:33,973
That third one was just right!
238
00:08:34,015 --> 00:08:36,934
- So before you headed down,
you thought,
239
00:08:36,976 --> 00:08:39,353
"I might need a grappling hook.
240
00:08:39,395 --> 00:08:41,397
"Just gonna make one"...
241
00:08:45,818 --> 00:08:47,028
- Okay, so you were all ready.
242
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:48,696
- I'm ready.
So we rented a Winnebago.
243
00:08:48,738 --> 00:08:50,823
It was me and my brothers,
John and Kurt,
244
00:08:50,865 --> 00:08:52,116
and my cousin, Mike,
245
00:08:52,158 --> 00:08:53,951
and then everybody else
from the corner,
246
00:08:53,993 --> 00:08:55,495
like, 10 people.
247
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:56,996
- Hey, Rick?
248
00:08:57,038 --> 00:08:59,749
You think it's legal to have
this many people in a van?
249
00:08:59,791 --> 00:09:01,501
- It's not a van.
It's a mobile home.
250
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:03,127
- Right.
251
00:09:03,169 --> 00:09:06,547
- It's just a nonstop party in
the Winnebago on the freeway.
252
00:09:06,589 --> 00:09:07,673
- Yeah.
- All right, so--
253
00:09:07,715 --> 00:09:09,133
- Yeah. Yeah.
254
00:09:09,175 --> 00:09:10,426
But I wouldn't have it
any other way.
255
00:09:10,468 --> 00:09:11,719
- Are we almost there yet?
256
00:09:11,761 --> 00:09:13,596
- Hey, Fritz,
are we almost there yet?
257
00:09:13,638 --> 00:09:15,890
- Okay, so you head out.
You start driving to Miami.
258
00:09:15,932 --> 00:09:17,517
- We drove all the way
down to Miami.
259
00:09:17,558 --> 00:09:20,520
[upbeat rock music]
260
00:09:20,561 --> 00:09:26,609
* *
261
00:09:26,651 --> 00:09:30,196
Well, well, well,
look at us, boys.
262
00:09:30,238 --> 00:09:32,698
The Steigerwald family
at the Super Bowl.
263
00:09:32,740 --> 00:09:34,117
- Yeah, we worked hard
all year,
264
00:09:34,158 --> 00:09:35,785
and we're finally here.
265
00:09:35,827 --> 00:09:38,830
- Oh, Miami,
the Pittsburgh of the South.
266
00:09:38,871 --> 00:09:40,206
- It's time to get
into the game.
267
00:09:40,248 --> 00:09:41,707
You have
your grappling hook ready.
268
00:09:41,749 --> 00:09:43,126
- Let's go, Steelers!
269
00:09:43,167 --> 00:09:44,877
- I'll lock her up.
I'll lock her up.
270
00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:46,587
And so I said to my brothers,
271
00:09:46,629 --> 00:09:48,297
"Hey, I'm gonna go over there
272
00:09:48,339 --> 00:09:49,966
"and see where
we're gonna get in at.
273
00:09:50,007 --> 00:09:51,551
"You know, I'm gonna
set this up, you know.
274
00:09:51,592 --> 00:09:53,052
I'll come back and get yous."
275
00:09:54,762 --> 00:09:55,888
[imitates lock chirping]
276
00:09:55,930 --> 00:09:58,433
Imagine if they had
those things.
277
00:09:58,474 --> 00:10:00,351
And I get over there,
and I noticed
278
00:10:00,393 --> 00:10:03,104
that there's
two sets of cops on horses
279
00:10:03,146 --> 00:10:05,148
going around the stadium
from different ends.
280
00:10:05,189 --> 00:10:06,482
- Right.
- So I'm like,
281
00:10:06,524 --> 00:10:08,276
"How long's it take them
to get around here
282
00:10:08,317 --> 00:10:10,069
until the next ones get here?"
So I was timing it.
283
00:10:10,111 --> 00:10:11,571
- Yeah.
- And there wasn't--
284
00:10:11,612 --> 00:10:13,030
you know, there was a lot
of people milling around
285
00:10:13,072 --> 00:10:14,198
and whatnot, you know.
286
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,366
And all of the sudden,
I heard my name.
287
00:10:15,408 --> 00:10:17,326
I have a nickname.
They call me "Stag."
288
00:10:17,368 --> 00:10:20,246
- Whoa, Stag!
- Schmitty!
289
00:10:20,288 --> 00:10:22,206
- Oh, man!
- Oh, my God.
290
00:10:22,248 --> 00:10:23,833
This is incredible!
- Oh, it's been so long!
291
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:25,501
Oh, I miss the good old days.
292
00:10:25,543 --> 00:10:27,503
- Oh, who doesn't?
Disco will never die.
293
00:10:27,545 --> 00:10:29,714
- Never! What are you doing?
294
00:10:29,756 --> 00:10:32,300
- Oh, I was gonna grapple hook
my way into the Super Bowl.
295
00:10:32,341 --> 00:10:35,094
He goes, "I'm going with you."
I'm like, "Okay."
296
00:10:35,136 --> 00:10:37,263
We looked at each other,
and we go, "We better go!"
297
00:10:37,305 --> 00:10:40,725
- You know what,
I got a better idea.
298
00:10:40,767 --> 00:10:42,268
Manpower!
299
00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:43,644
- Threw it in the bushes,
the grappling hook.
300
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:46,773
One, two, ten!
- Oh, God, yeah!
301
00:10:46,814 --> 00:10:48,107
- Once we got up on it,
302
00:10:48,149 --> 00:10:49,817
I work construction,
I know how to climb.
303
00:10:49,859 --> 00:10:50,943
- Yeah.
- I got to the top.
304
00:10:50,985 --> 00:10:52,320
My buddy got stuck halfway up.
305
00:10:52,361 --> 00:10:53,446
- Go!
306
00:10:53,488 --> 00:10:55,782
Get out of here
before it's too late!
307
00:10:55,823 --> 00:10:57,784
- No way!
No Steeler fan left behind!
308
00:10:57,825 --> 00:10:59,202
Whatever it takes!
309
00:10:59,243 --> 00:11:01,537
- I'm not gonna make it.
Go on without me!
310
00:11:01,579 --> 00:11:04,415
- I had to hang back over
and lower my leg down.
311
00:11:04,457 --> 00:11:05,625
Grab my leg!
312
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:06,876
- Ah!
313
00:11:06,918 --> 00:11:08,169
- Ow, ow, ow.
My foot. My Achilles.
314
00:11:08,211 --> 00:11:10,046
And I thought he was just
gonna hold my leg
315
00:11:10,088 --> 00:11:11,506
and kind of help himself up.
316
00:11:11,547 --> 00:11:12,507
He let go completely.
317
00:11:12,548 --> 00:11:14,133
- [gasps]
318
00:11:14,175 --> 00:11:15,927
- I'm on the other side
reaching, like,
319
00:11:15,968 --> 00:11:17,220
I bent my leg the other way,
320
00:11:17,261 --> 00:11:20,431
and I'm pulling up,
and my leg's bending.
321
00:11:20,473 --> 00:11:22,433
Don't grab my leg.
Grab my hand. Grab my hand!
322
00:11:22,475 --> 00:11:24,519
[dramatic music]
323
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,938
Come on, Schmitty!
324
00:11:26,979 --> 00:11:29,065
So I'm pulling him back up,
325
00:11:29,107 --> 00:11:30,650
thinking, "I can do this.
I can do this."
326
00:11:30,691 --> 00:11:33,152
All right, you son of a bitch!
327
00:11:33,194 --> 00:11:35,154
- I love you so much!
328
00:11:35,196 --> 00:11:37,782
- Okay, go to the game.
Go to the game!
329
00:11:37,824 --> 00:11:39,826
Hey, run in and get me a nacho!
330
00:11:39,867 --> 00:11:41,160
It's gonna take me
a little time.
331
00:11:41,202 --> 00:11:43,162
You really wrecked
my Achilles there.
332
00:11:43,204 --> 00:11:46,040
Once we got him in,
we're standing up there.
333
00:11:46,082 --> 00:11:48,835
There's 200 people
down there clapping,
334
00:11:48,876 --> 00:11:50,294
watching us get
into the stadium.
335
00:11:50,336 --> 00:11:52,505
We're like...
[laughs]
336
00:11:52,547 --> 00:11:55,842
- You're in the Super Bowl!
You snuck in the Super Bowl!
337
00:11:55,883 --> 00:11:58,261
- So the cops
just so happened to be...
338
00:11:58,302 --> 00:11:59,554
- They were sitting
down there watching us.
339
00:11:59,595 --> 00:12:01,973
When they made it back around,
they were watch--
340
00:12:02,014 --> 00:12:03,766
sitting on the horse like...
341
00:12:03,808 --> 00:12:05,935
- So you get in.
- Get in there.
342
00:12:05,977 --> 00:12:07,478
- You're celebrating.
You feel great.
343
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,021
- That stadium's
practically empty.
344
00:12:09,063 --> 00:12:10,231
both: And your brothers.
345
00:12:10,273 --> 00:12:11,691
- Are still out
in the parking lot.
346
00:12:11,733 --> 00:12:13,192
- Yeah, we're all--
hey, you're on your onesies
347
00:12:13,234 --> 00:12:14,610
when things happen.
348
00:12:14,652 --> 00:12:16,070
They know that.
- Hey, everyone's on their own.
349
00:12:16,112 --> 00:12:17,613
- But they don't even have
the grappling hook.
350
00:12:17,655 --> 00:12:19,699
[somber piano music]
351
00:12:19,741 --> 00:12:21,033
- They don't have
the grappling hook.
352
00:12:21,075 --> 00:12:22,034
- Yeah, okay.
Whatever it takes.
353
00:12:22,076 --> 00:12:23,035
- I wasn't worried about them.
354
00:12:23,077 --> 00:12:24,537
Whatever it takes.
- Yeah.
355
00:12:24,579 --> 00:12:26,831
- Right, so anyhow,
we get in there, and he goes,
356
00:12:26,873 --> 00:12:28,541
"Hey, where do you
want to sit?"
357
00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:30,001
And I was like,
"Dude, if I went through
358
00:12:30,043 --> 00:12:31,544
all that to get in here,
I'm sitting on the 50."
359
00:12:31,586 --> 00:12:32,795
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
360
00:12:32,837 --> 00:12:34,172
- And then, you know,
it started filling up.
361
00:12:34,213 --> 00:12:35,298
That's when we started
to worry a little bit.
362
00:12:35,339 --> 00:12:36,758
- Yeah, 'cause somebody's
gonna show up
363
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,134
with a ticket for your seat.
364
00:12:38,176 --> 00:12:39,218
- So that's what we thought.
365
00:12:39,260 --> 00:12:40,678
So everything's filling up
366
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,637
except for this row.
367
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,014
- Right.
- Then all of a sudden,
368
00:12:43,056 --> 00:12:44,223
this guy comes up,
and I'm looking up at him,
369
00:12:44,265 --> 00:12:45,975
and he goes,
"Hey, you guys have tickets?"
370
00:12:46,017 --> 00:12:47,393
- Oh, no.
371
00:12:47,435 --> 00:12:48,978
- I said, "Who are you,
the ticket taker?"
372
00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:50,563
- Oh.
- But he goes, "No, no, no."
373
00:12:50,605 --> 00:12:53,107
He goes, "This is--
our company from New York,
374
00:12:53,149 --> 00:12:54,692
we have this whole row."
375
00:12:54,734 --> 00:12:56,152
He goes, "And nobody's coming.
376
00:12:56,194 --> 00:12:58,696
"They're all drunk
back at the hotel, hungover.
377
00:12:58,738 --> 00:13:00,907
They're not coming.
You're welcome to 'em."
378
00:13:00,948 --> 00:13:01,991
- Wow.
379
00:13:02,033 --> 00:13:03,910
- I said, "Dude,
you're the best."
380
00:13:03,951 --> 00:13:05,244
We're hugging him.
381
00:13:05,286 --> 00:13:07,163
- Jackpot, right?
- Oh, my God.
382
00:13:07,205 --> 00:13:08,414
- Now I'm really cocky.
383
00:13:08,456 --> 00:13:11,250
And for a moment there,
I was a big shot.
384
00:13:11,292 --> 00:13:13,252
- Yeah! This is your row.
385
00:13:13,294 --> 00:13:14,962
- Pretty incredible, huh?
386
00:13:15,004 --> 00:13:17,256
Guess who finds me?
My brothers.
387
00:13:17,298 --> 00:13:20,593
all: Hey!
- Hey!
388
00:13:20,635 --> 00:13:22,887
Look who it is! Huh?
389
00:13:22,929 --> 00:13:26,015
Kurt, John, Paul, George,
Cousin Mike!
390
00:13:26,057 --> 00:13:28,768
Dream come true
at the Super Bowl!
391
00:13:28,810 --> 00:13:30,228
We're all here.
392
00:13:30,269 --> 00:13:31,562
- They got in.
- They got in.
393
00:13:31,604 --> 00:13:33,523
They bought a ticket
for 50 bucks, they got in.
394
00:13:33,564 --> 00:13:35,775
- This is fantastic.
- It's fantastic.
395
00:13:35,817 --> 00:13:38,903
- It could not be going better.
- Oh, it gets better.
396
00:13:38,945 --> 00:13:40,279
- Wow.
397
00:13:43,157 --> 00:13:44,158
- And now it's winding down.
398
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,326
The clock's winding down,
you know?
399
00:13:45,368 --> 00:13:46,577
- Whoo!
- Let's go!
400
00:13:46,619 --> 00:13:48,663
- Put up that steel curtain,
Pittsburgh!
401
00:13:48,704 --> 00:13:49,705
- Wait, who's winning?
402
00:13:49,747 --> 00:13:51,332
- Oh, it ended up,
403
00:13:51,374 --> 00:13:52,583
we were crushing them.
404
00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:54,419
And then
in, like, six minutes,
405
00:13:54,460 --> 00:13:55,670
maybe a little bit more,
406
00:13:55,712 --> 00:13:57,714
they came back
three touchdowns.
407
00:13:57,755 --> 00:14:00,341
And it was, like, we ended up
winning, I think, 34-31.
408
00:14:00,383 --> 00:14:02,218
- The Steelers won!
- But it's a nail-biter.
409
00:14:02,260 --> 00:14:03,511
both: It's a nail-biter.
410
00:14:03,553 --> 00:14:05,346
- Now it is. It wasn't before.
both: Yeah.
411
00:14:05,388 --> 00:14:07,432
- So we're there,
and he goes, "Hey.
412
00:14:07,473 --> 00:14:09,183
What do you think about going
down and getting the football?
413
00:14:09,225 --> 00:14:10,852
The game ball?"
414
00:14:10,893 --> 00:14:12,687
I said, "That's a great idea.
415
00:14:12,729 --> 00:14:15,356
[laughing]
That's a great idea."
416
00:14:15,398 --> 00:14:17,692
- He says one of the dumbest
things I've ever heard.
417
00:14:17,734 --> 00:14:20,737
Your immediate response is,
"That's a great idea."
418
00:14:20,778 --> 00:14:22,613
- I didn't think
it was dumb because--
419
00:14:22,655 --> 00:14:25,241
- Right, because of everything
you've accomplished thus far.
420
00:14:25,283 --> 00:14:26,534
- Well, plus, I want the ball.
421
00:14:26,576 --> 00:14:27,910
I'm telling you, I'm gonna
sneak on that field
422
00:14:27,952 --> 00:14:30,371
and steal the ball.
423
00:14:30,413 --> 00:14:33,541
All right, Steelers!
Put up that curtain!
424
00:14:33,583 --> 00:14:36,044
- Okay, so you hatched some
pretty extraordinary plans
425
00:14:36,085 --> 00:14:37,420
just to get where you are.
426
00:14:37,462 --> 00:14:39,047
Now you have to hatch
a new plan...
427
00:14:39,088 --> 00:14:40,882
- On the cuff.
- To get this ball.
428
00:14:40,923 --> 00:14:44,677
- There's cops lining
the whole thing, facing us.
429
00:14:44,719 --> 00:14:46,137
- It's the Super Bowl.
430
00:14:46,179 --> 00:14:48,222
- Well, it's the fricking
moment he's been waiting for.
431
00:14:48,264 --> 00:14:51,100
Will Rick Steigerwald
keep the streak alive,
432
00:14:51,142 --> 00:14:52,393
or will the night get messier
433
00:14:52,435 --> 00:14:54,520
than a Primanti Brothers
sandwich?
434
00:14:54,562 --> 00:14:56,397
- And the big question,
Joe, is,
435
00:14:56,439 --> 00:15:00,568
can Rick penetrate the stout
defense of Miami's finest?
436
00:15:00,610 --> 00:15:03,780
- It looks like the Rickster's
luck might get sacked.
437
00:15:03,821 --> 00:15:05,239
- Oof.
438
00:15:05,281 --> 00:15:07,241
- So we work our way
down the stands,
439
00:15:07,283 --> 00:15:08,367
and we get to the rail.
440
00:15:08,409 --> 00:15:09,577
I'm thinking to myself, "Okay.
441
00:15:09,619 --> 00:15:10,870
How is this gonna work?"
You know?
442
00:15:10,912 --> 00:15:13,247
As I was contemplating this,
443
00:15:13,289 --> 00:15:15,583
somebody set off
one of them cannons.
444
00:15:15,625 --> 00:15:17,085
[cannon fires]
445
00:15:17,126 --> 00:15:19,545
Boom, I went right
under the thing.
446
00:15:19,587 --> 00:15:21,172
I just held onto the one.
Boop!
447
00:15:21,214 --> 00:15:24,300
And by the time that cop was
turning around to the fans...
448
00:15:24,342 --> 00:15:27,428
- You were on the other side.
- No, I turned with him.
449
00:15:27,470 --> 00:15:28,596
We were looking.
We were like...
450
00:15:28,638 --> 00:15:30,098
- You were like,
"Who shot that cannon?"
451
00:15:30,139 --> 00:15:31,432
[both laugh]
- Dude!
452
00:15:31,474 --> 00:15:33,601
- Oh, what a dazzling move
by Rick.
453
00:15:33,643 --> 00:15:35,061
We gotta take another look-see.
454
00:15:35,103 --> 00:15:36,771
- The timing, the momentum.
455
00:15:36,813 --> 00:15:38,898
It was like he was shot
out of that dang cannon.
456
00:15:38,940 --> 00:15:40,775
- Oh, and look at this, Don.
Look at this.
457
00:15:40,817 --> 00:15:44,153
Perfect improvisation
and synchronization.
458
00:15:44,195 --> 00:15:45,947
I mean, you can't
teach that, Don.
459
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:47,740
That is something
that is only learned
460
00:15:47,782 --> 00:15:50,326
on the mean streets
of the Steel City.
461
00:15:50,368 --> 00:15:51,828
- You know, I wish I could be
a casual fan
462
00:15:51,869 --> 00:15:55,206
instead of having to work
the field all day, right?
463
00:15:55,248 --> 00:15:57,583
Then I could
really celebrate this win.
464
00:15:57,625 --> 00:15:59,460
Whoop! Not a punch.
Didn't mean it.
465
00:15:59,502 --> 00:16:02,672
Wouldn't--ha.
[laughs]
466
00:16:02,714 --> 00:16:03,715
Boys in blue.
467
00:16:03,756 --> 00:16:05,466
And he looked at me,
and he looked up
468
00:16:05,508 --> 00:16:08,177
and down at me,
but I had, unbeknownst to me,
469
00:16:08,219 --> 00:16:09,804
the same clothes
that the ball boys
470
00:16:09,846 --> 00:16:12,640
from the Steelers are in:
sweatpants and a gold shirt.
471
00:16:12,682 --> 00:16:15,601
Oh, get a load of this guy.
Huh?
472
00:16:15,643 --> 00:16:18,271
How do we know
he's a real ball boy?
473
00:16:18,312 --> 00:16:19,814
I feel like he just got here.
474
00:16:19,856 --> 00:16:21,190
Maybe he climbed down
from the stands
475
00:16:21,232 --> 00:16:22,650
and grabbed two balls
476
00:16:22,692 --> 00:16:25,236
to keep as a souvenir
for himself and his friends.
477
00:16:25,278 --> 00:16:27,280
Huh? I'll hold the balls.
478
00:16:27,321 --> 00:16:29,198
You interrogate him.
We'll work together.
479
00:16:31,993 --> 00:16:33,619
Ha-ha, just kidding.
We're best friends.
480
00:16:33,661 --> 00:16:35,580
I turn around.
They're counting down.
481
00:16:35,621 --> 00:16:36,956
Everybody is running
on the field.
482
00:16:36,998 --> 00:16:40,334
I get out there, no ball.
I'm like, "What? No ball?"
483
00:16:40,376 --> 00:16:42,128
- Get out where?
What do you mean?
484
00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:43,296
- Onto the field
to get the ball.
485
00:16:43,337 --> 00:16:44,797
- Well, Rick has made it
onto the field.
486
00:16:44,839 --> 00:16:46,424
He's a man on a mission.
487
00:16:46,466 --> 00:16:48,384
What do you think he's thinking
in his thinker right now, Don?
488
00:16:48,426 --> 00:16:50,803
- Well, one, get the ball.
Two, don't get arrested.
489
00:16:50,845 --> 00:16:52,180
But if he's a big boy
from the 'Burgh,
490
00:16:52,221 --> 00:16:53,306
probably in that order.
491
00:16:53,347 --> 00:16:54,640
- Well, he's making us
all proud.
492
00:16:54,682 --> 00:16:56,517
Look at him go!
- Yes, he is!
493
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:58,770
- You were ready to tackle
a Steeler
494
00:16:58,811 --> 00:17:00,146
to get this ball,
if you needed to.
495
00:17:00,188 --> 00:17:01,647
- No, no, I'd have tipped it
out of his arm, got it--
496
00:17:01,689 --> 00:17:02,732
I know he couldn't
have caught me.
497
00:17:02,774 --> 00:17:05,693
- But you've got
a single focus.
498
00:17:05,735 --> 00:17:07,028
- Get that ball.
499
00:17:07,070 --> 00:17:08,446
- Where is this ball?
- Right.
500
00:17:08,488 --> 00:17:10,615
Where's the football?
Where's the game ball?
501
00:17:10,656 --> 00:17:12,325
And that lasted
until I looked,
502
00:17:12,366 --> 00:17:13,534
and I see all the Steelers
503
00:17:13,576 --> 00:17:15,536
running underneath
the stadium.
504
00:17:15,578 --> 00:17:17,663
And I was like,
"I'm just gonna follow them."
505
00:17:17,705 --> 00:17:19,457
The ball was out
of the picture.
506
00:17:19,499 --> 00:17:21,250
It's gone out of my mind.
- Forget the ball.
507
00:17:21,292 --> 00:17:23,002
- Maybe I'll run
into the ball in there.
508
00:17:23,044 --> 00:17:24,212
- Right.
509
00:17:24,253 --> 00:17:25,505
- But right now,
I'm going with them.
510
00:17:25,546 --> 00:17:27,715
- Wait a minute, Don.
Wait a fricking minute.
511
00:17:27,757 --> 00:17:30,259
Take a look at Rick.
He's got some fire in his eyes.
512
00:17:30,301 --> 00:17:31,886
- Is he thinking about
dropping the ball?
513
00:17:31,928 --> 00:17:34,972
- Oh, he's dropping the ball,
and not just metaphorically.
514
00:17:35,014 --> 00:17:37,725
He's got his sights
on something bigger.
515
00:17:37,767 --> 00:17:40,645
- We did it, all together
collectively as a unit!
516
00:17:40,686 --> 00:17:44,565
- He could go all the way!
517
00:17:44,607 --> 00:17:47,110
To the locker room!
518
00:17:47,151 --> 00:17:48,778
- We go underneath the thing
and we get
519
00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:50,822
all the way to the door,
and the media
520
00:17:50,863 --> 00:17:52,615
is just like--woof.
- Okay.
521
00:17:52,657 --> 00:17:53,908
- They were all going
in the doors.
522
00:17:53,950 --> 00:17:55,868
As soon as we got to the door
with the media,
523
00:17:55,910 --> 00:17:57,245
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
the security said,
524
00:17:57,286 --> 00:17:58,704
"Whoa, whoa, whoa.
525
00:17:58,746 --> 00:18:00,081
"We'll let you in.
Let them get settled.
526
00:18:00,123 --> 00:18:01,582
We'll let you guys in."
527
00:18:01,624 --> 00:18:04,752
And then I'm thinking,
"Uh-oh, I'm right here."
528
00:18:04,794 --> 00:18:05,878
- He did it!
529
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,255
He made it all the way
from the stands
530
00:18:07,296 --> 00:18:08,923
down to the tunnel
without a ticket.
531
00:18:08,965 --> 00:18:11,843
Is it 1979 or what, Joe?
532
00:18:11,884 --> 00:18:14,512
- There is no stopping Rick,
folks.
533
00:18:14,554 --> 00:18:17,056
Whatever it takes.
- Whatever it takes.
534
00:18:17,098 --> 00:18:20,309
- Don't blow this.
Be part of the media.
535
00:18:20,351 --> 00:18:21,936
- You're a chameleon.
536
00:18:21,978 --> 00:18:25,398
You just turn
into whatever you need to be.
537
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,024
- You had to be resilient.
538
00:18:27,066 --> 00:18:29,110
- Whatever it takes.
539
00:18:29,152 --> 00:18:30,361
- Right?
That's the mantra.
540
00:18:30,403 --> 00:18:31,404
- Can you believe it, Don?
541
00:18:31,446 --> 00:18:32,989
Rick has done it again.
542
00:18:33,030 --> 00:18:34,991
He's blended in
with the media now.
543
00:18:35,032 --> 00:18:36,325
I mean, he's one of us.
544
00:18:36,367 --> 00:18:38,286
- Rick is a true master
of disguise.
545
00:18:38,327 --> 00:18:41,789
- Well, let's see how the Stag
plays this one, huh, Don?
546
00:18:41,831 --> 00:18:43,499
- So I'm just standing there,
547
00:18:43,541 --> 00:18:45,376
and I'm, like,
right behind the guy,
548
00:18:45,418 --> 00:18:48,004
and on his camera--
like these cameras here--
549
00:18:48,046 --> 00:18:50,339
but he had, you know,
the walking one.
550
00:18:50,381 --> 00:18:53,968
He had the light with a cord
551
00:18:54,010 --> 00:18:55,386
attached to the top.
552
00:18:55,428 --> 00:18:57,472
Soon as that door opened up,
I grabbed that cord.
553
00:18:57,513 --> 00:19:00,600
I'm a cord guy. Rick.
I'm with the cords.
554
00:19:00,641 --> 00:19:01,976
- He thought you were
a camera helper.
555
00:19:02,018 --> 00:19:03,478
- I'm a cord guy!
556
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:06,314
- Yes, yes.
- You're the cord guy.
557
00:19:06,355 --> 00:19:07,774
- Soon as we get in the door...
558
00:19:07,815 --> 00:19:09,650
- And couldn't run 90 yards.
559
00:19:09,692 --> 00:19:11,110
That was the difference,
I thought,
560
00:19:11,152 --> 00:19:12,361
in the football game.
561
00:19:12,403 --> 00:19:14,155
- Who's up on the podium?
562
00:19:14,197 --> 00:19:16,657
Terry frigging Bradshaw.
563
00:19:16,699 --> 00:19:19,494
- I'm gonna sleep tonight,
knowing that I just--
564
00:19:19,535 --> 00:19:21,704
[triumphant music]
565
00:19:21,746 --> 00:19:24,499
- Oh, my God.
[gasps]
566
00:19:24,540 --> 00:19:27,502
It's you,
Terry frigging Bradshaw.
567
00:19:27,543 --> 00:19:28,836
He shook my hand.
568
00:19:28,878 --> 00:19:30,838
I could not believe
how big his hand was.
569
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,548
- Well, wait a second,
can you--when you met
570
00:19:32,590 --> 00:19:34,509
Terry Bradshaw,
what was this moment for you?
571
00:19:34,550 --> 00:19:35,510
- It was the best.
572
00:19:35,551 --> 00:19:37,053
Like, when he shook my hand,
573
00:19:37,095 --> 00:19:39,555
there was--like,
he engulfed my whole hand.
574
00:19:39,597 --> 00:19:41,724
My man, what you did today
was incredible.
575
00:19:41,766 --> 00:19:44,227
I mean, you're not a man.
You're a god.
576
00:19:44,268 --> 00:19:47,688
You're a golden god
with a beautiful head of hair
577
00:19:47,730 --> 00:19:49,524
that I got to tell you--
don't be worried.
578
00:19:49,565 --> 00:19:51,901
It's not going anywhere.
I can tell.
579
00:19:51,943 --> 00:19:53,611
[laughs]
580
00:19:53,653 --> 00:19:56,531
And I just thought, "I just
shook hands with the dude
581
00:19:56,572 --> 00:19:57,824
that just won the Super Bowl.
582
00:19:57,865 --> 00:19:59,659
- I don't have a clue
who you are,
583
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:00,993
or how you got in here.
584
00:20:01,035 --> 00:20:03,413
- Does it matter?
Today, we're champs.
585
00:20:03,454 --> 00:20:06,124
- We definitely got to get
better security,
586
00:20:06,165 --> 00:20:08,501
whatever it takes.
587
00:20:08,543 --> 00:20:10,753
- Whatever it takes.
588
00:20:10,795 --> 00:20:12,505
Yeah, that's right, Terry.
589
00:20:16,426 --> 00:20:18,219
Thank you.
590
00:20:18,261 --> 00:20:19,929
You know, he was looking
at me like, "Who are you?"
591
00:20:19,971 --> 00:20:21,764
So I thought, "Time to go."
Right?
592
00:20:21,806 --> 00:20:23,558
You don't wanna stay too long.
- Yeah.
593
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:25,017
- And the next thing you know,
out of nowhere,
594
00:20:25,059 --> 00:20:27,270
out of nowhere,
I hear my name again.
595
00:20:27,311 --> 00:20:28,646
"Rick, Rick, Rick!"
596
00:20:28,688 --> 00:20:30,732
It's reporters
from the state of Washington.
597
00:20:30,773 --> 00:20:32,984
'Cause Rick Moser
went to Washington State,
598
00:20:33,025 --> 00:20:35,027
or something like that,
right, from what I understand.
599
00:20:35,069 --> 00:20:36,237
He's gone already.
600
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:37,989
He came in,
changed his clothes, and left.
601
00:20:38,030 --> 00:20:39,574
'Cause he didn't play.
He was pissed.
602
00:20:39,615 --> 00:20:41,576
- Please don't tell me
that you just turned
603
00:20:41,617 --> 00:20:42,827
into Rick Moser in this moment.
604
00:20:42,869 --> 00:20:45,621
- Well, so...
[laughter]
605
00:20:45,663 --> 00:20:47,874
When in Rome.
606
00:20:47,915 --> 00:20:49,292
So I gave them an interview.
607
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:52,587
- What the hell are you saying
in this interview?
608
00:20:52,628 --> 00:20:55,423
- Just bull-[bleep].
[laughter]
609
00:20:55,465 --> 00:20:57,258
I would be a liar if I told you
610
00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:00,762
that I didn't dream
of this every day, all season.
611
00:21:00,803 --> 00:21:02,221
They're eating it up.
They're writing it.
612
00:21:02,263 --> 00:21:04,098
And don't get me wrong,
adversity does pop up.
613
00:21:04,140 --> 00:21:07,101
But that's when you got
to hop over that wall.
614
00:21:07,143 --> 00:21:08,186
We planned it that way.
615
00:21:08,227 --> 00:21:10,605
Get onto the field,
no matter what.
616
00:21:10,646 --> 00:21:11,939
We had been
to Super Bowl before.
617
00:21:11,981 --> 00:21:13,608
We know how to get there,
and we know how to win.
618
00:21:13,649 --> 00:21:14,692
Okay, I want
to thank my teammates.
619
00:21:14,734 --> 00:21:16,444
I'm nothing
without my teammates.
620
00:21:16,486 --> 00:21:19,655
That's everybody. That's Terry.
That's Franco. That's Lynn.
621
00:21:19,697 --> 00:21:21,949
Whatever it takes,
we're going to win this game.
622
00:21:21,991 --> 00:21:24,452
Because we were willing to do
whatever it takes.
623
00:21:24,494 --> 00:21:25,620
- Convincing.
- Yeah.
624
00:21:25,661 --> 00:21:27,955
- That's a perfect interview.
625
00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:32,502
- And all a sudden,
out of nowhere,
626
00:21:32,543 --> 00:21:35,421
after ten minutes of this,
one of the reporters says,
627
00:21:35,463 --> 00:21:38,341
"Oh, hey, Rick, we really
appreciate you doing this."
628
00:21:38,383 --> 00:21:39,592
He said, "But, you know,
629
00:21:39,634 --> 00:21:41,469
we know you want
to take a shower."
630
00:21:41,511 --> 00:21:45,181
I'm thinking, "Shower?"
I was like, "Yeah. All right."
631
00:21:45,223 --> 00:21:48,351
- You just go wherever
there's an opening.
632
00:21:48,393 --> 00:21:50,353
- Thank you, sir.
633
00:21:50,395 --> 00:21:54,524
- I did not expect this story
to take a turn into a shower.
634
00:21:54,565 --> 00:21:55,858
- Me neither.
- I go over.
635
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:58,861
The towel boy gives me a towel.
Now, I'm 5'6".
636
00:21:58,903 --> 00:22:00,696
When I walked into that shower,
637
00:22:00,738 --> 00:22:04,158
it was like, like, giant land.
638
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,869
- Hey, what's your name?
- Uh, my name?
639
00:22:06,911 --> 00:22:11,082
- Yeah, who are you?
- Who am I?
640
00:22:11,124 --> 00:22:12,291
Who am I?
641
00:22:12,333 --> 00:22:13,793
Well, that's a really
good question.
642
00:22:13,835 --> 00:22:15,628
I'm just a regular guy
from Pittsburgh
643
00:22:15,670 --> 00:22:17,880
who is having the best day
of his frigging life.
644
00:22:17,922 --> 00:22:19,382
I mean, think about it.
645
00:22:19,424 --> 00:22:22,510
There I was with my brothers
in beautiful Miami.
646
00:22:22,552 --> 00:22:24,846
I snuck into the Super Bowl
and got the best seats
647
00:22:24,887 --> 00:22:26,889
in the house.
648
00:22:26,931 --> 00:22:28,516
Then I made it onto the field,
and somehow,
649
00:22:28,558 --> 00:22:30,768
by the grace of G-O-double D,
650
00:22:30,810 --> 00:22:33,563
I ended up showering with
the black and gold themselves.
651
00:22:33,604 --> 00:22:36,274
I rubbed my eyes because
I couldn't quite believe it.
652
00:22:36,315 --> 00:22:38,985
Then I pinched myself to see
if I was dreaming.
653
00:22:39,026 --> 00:22:41,279
So I'm standing beside,
I think it was LC Greenwood.
654
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,948
It was one of the bigger guys,
and he's looking at me like...
655
00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:46,784
- [laughs] Who are you?
- And I said, "Hey"--
656
00:22:46,826 --> 00:22:49,704
It's Rick frigging Steigerwald.
657
00:22:49,746 --> 00:22:52,915
Chuck Noll's nephew?
Chuck Noll.
658
00:22:52,957 --> 00:22:54,459
Coach of the Steelers,
ever heard of him?
659
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:56,878
- Oh, my man.
660
00:22:56,919 --> 00:22:58,046
Hey, guys.
It's Chuck's nephew.
661
00:22:58,087 --> 00:22:59,464
He's here to take
a shower with us.
662
00:22:59,505 --> 00:23:02,300
My man. Nice to meet you.
Welcome to the showers.
663
00:23:02,341 --> 00:23:04,469
- This is the best shower
of my life.
664
00:23:04,510 --> 00:23:05,803
- But why would he--
665
00:23:05,845 --> 00:23:07,430
his nephew be taking
a shower in there?
666
00:23:07,472 --> 00:23:09,432
- Right?
- Why...
667
00:23:09,474 --> 00:23:10,600
- Why not? Why wouldn't he be?
668
00:23:10,641 --> 00:23:12,727
- I guess so. I guess.
669
00:23:12,769 --> 00:23:14,103
- Everybody knows somebody
knows somebody
670
00:23:14,145 --> 00:23:15,855
knows somebody
that needs a job.
671
00:23:15,897 --> 00:23:17,190
- Somebody knows somebody
knows somebody
672
00:23:17,231 --> 00:23:18,733
that needs a shower.
673
00:23:18,775 --> 00:23:20,443
[laughter]
674
00:23:20,485 --> 00:23:21,903
- So I'm taking a shower.
675
00:23:21,944 --> 00:23:23,696
I walk out of the shower,
go back out.
676
00:23:23,738 --> 00:23:26,783
I get back up on the bench.
I'm cleaning between my toes.
677
00:23:26,824 --> 00:23:28,117
And next thing you know,
678
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:29,744
I see out of the corner
of my eye, I hear--
679
00:23:29,786 --> 00:23:33,039
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
Who the frig are you?
680
00:23:33,081 --> 00:23:34,999
- And I look at him, I said,
"Who the frig are you?"
681
00:23:35,041 --> 00:23:36,626
- Is there an echo in here?
682
00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:37,960
I'm Tony Parisi.
683
00:23:38,002 --> 00:23:39,462
I'm the Steelers'
equipment manager,
684
00:23:39,504 --> 00:23:41,839
and you are not a Steeler.
685
00:23:41,881 --> 00:23:43,966
- Well, Tony Parisi,
who died and made you
686
00:23:44,008 --> 00:23:45,885
in charge of who is
and isn't a Steeler?
687
00:23:45,927 --> 00:23:48,304
- I made myself in charge
688
00:23:48,346 --> 00:23:49,931
of finding out who's a Steeler
and who's not,
689
00:23:49,972 --> 00:23:51,391
and you are not a Steeler.
690
00:23:51,432 --> 00:23:53,184
- You know, I would punch you
in your stupid face,
691
00:23:53,226 --> 00:23:55,645
but I don't want to get grease
on my new championship ring.
692
00:23:55,686 --> 00:23:57,230
- Oh, you want to punch me?
693
00:23:57,271 --> 00:23:59,107
You want to punch me?
I'd love to see you try.
694
00:23:59,148 --> 00:24:00,316
- You'd love to see me try.
695
00:24:00,358 --> 00:24:01,776
Hey.
Hey, get a load of this guy.
696
00:24:01,818 --> 00:24:04,070
He wants to see himself
get punched.
697
00:24:04,112 --> 00:24:06,572
- Rick, you're just, like,
a wrecking ball
698
00:24:06,614 --> 00:24:09,158
moving through the world.
[laughter]
699
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,452
- You think you're a tough guy?
- [scoffs]
700
00:24:11,494 --> 00:24:13,788
I know I'm a tough guy.
701
00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:15,540
- Yeah, well, you just
met a tougher one.
702
00:24:15,581 --> 00:24:17,917
Bing, bam, boom.
703
00:24:17,959 --> 00:24:19,669
- Yeah, that doesn't scare me.
Now, look.
704
00:24:19,711 --> 00:24:22,588
You had your fun.
Now, you gotta go.
705
00:24:22,630 --> 00:24:24,507
Come on, let's go. Guys.
706
00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:26,592
- And when he went to grab me,
I went like this, like,
707
00:24:26,634 --> 00:24:28,970
"You better back off me,"
like that.
708
00:24:29,011 --> 00:24:30,722
He goes, "That's it.
I'm going to get security."
709
00:24:30,763 --> 00:24:32,348
I said, "Get a couple of them.
710
00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:35,101
Get a couple.
You're gonna need them."
711
00:24:35,143 --> 00:24:38,688
- How dare they get mad at you
or call security.
712
00:24:38,730 --> 00:24:40,189
How dare they.
713
00:24:40,231 --> 00:24:43,192
- And they come over,
and I'm on that bench.
714
00:24:43,234 --> 00:24:45,778
And they are, like,
still 6 inches taller than me.
715
00:24:45,820 --> 00:24:47,822
Let's end this nonviolently.
Okay.
716
00:24:47,864 --> 00:24:50,491
All right, okay,
let's end this violently.
717
00:24:50,533 --> 00:24:53,244
- Shh!
718
00:24:53,286 --> 00:24:54,829
- They said,
"That was awesome, dude."
719
00:24:54,871 --> 00:24:57,206
You guys are fans?
720
00:24:57,248 --> 00:24:59,208
They slapped me five.
- Yeah.
721
00:24:59,250 --> 00:25:01,127
- And I walk out, and I'm like,
722
00:25:01,169 --> 00:25:03,046
"I can't believe
I just did that."
723
00:25:03,087 --> 00:25:05,423
Right?
And all the sudden, I look up.
724
00:25:05,465 --> 00:25:07,300
I'm still
underneath the stadium.
725
00:25:07,341 --> 00:25:09,177
There's two lines of people
going all the way out
726
00:25:09,218 --> 00:25:11,929
to the bus of the Steelers
with autograph seekers.
727
00:25:11,971 --> 00:25:13,264
I'm like,
"This ought to be fun."
728
00:25:13,306 --> 00:25:15,391
- They just saw you walk out
of the locker room,
729
00:25:15,433 --> 00:25:17,727
and they're like,
"This guy is important.
730
00:25:17,769 --> 00:25:19,729
We want his autograph."
- Right?
731
00:25:19,771 --> 00:25:21,272
- So you start
signing autographs.
732
00:25:21,314 --> 00:25:23,483
- Rick Stag.
[both laugh]
733
00:25:23,524 --> 00:25:25,401
Bing. You got it.
734
00:25:25,443 --> 00:25:28,321
All the way to the bus.
The bus guy opens the door.
735
00:25:28,362 --> 00:25:30,907
I step up on the bus.
I got a picture of it.
736
00:25:30,948 --> 00:25:32,867
Bradshaw is right
in front of me,
737
00:25:32,909 --> 00:25:34,410
and I go, "Dude.
738
00:25:34,452 --> 00:25:37,205
That was the best game
I ever seen."
739
00:25:37,246 --> 00:25:38,790
Let me borrow this real quick.
740
00:25:41,292 --> 00:25:44,545
Hey. Everybody on this bus...
741
00:25:44,587 --> 00:25:48,883
I said, "You guys are badass,
frigging A."
742
00:25:48,925 --> 00:25:50,760
And I hope you're proud
of yourselves
743
00:25:50,802 --> 00:25:54,972
'cause I know that I am proud
of every single one of yous.
744
00:25:55,014 --> 00:25:56,599
I mean, you made that
other team look like
745
00:25:56,641 --> 00:25:58,434
a bunch of jagoffs.
746
00:25:58,476 --> 00:26:01,562
If I could, I'd take you
all down to Vinny's right now,
747
00:26:01,604 --> 00:26:03,856
get you a cut of pepperoni,
748
00:26:03,898 --> 00:26:06,442
get you a handful
of Yuenglings.
749
00:26:06,484 --> 00:26:10,321
I hope that you know
that every Pennsylvanian
750
00:26:10,363 --> 00:26:13,574
from Allentown to Shadyville
is singing your praises.
751
00:26:13,616 --> 00:26:16,119
And that song is ringing true
752
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,372
from every bridge
in Pittsburgh, all 446 of them.
753
00:26:19,414 --> 00:26:21,290
God bless
the Pittsburgh Steelers.
754
00:26:21,332 --> 00:26:23,501
God bless
the United States of America.
755
00:26:23,543 --> 00:26:26,462
[inspirational music]
756

* *
757
00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:31,634
And I turn--they're all
looking at me like...
758
00:26:31,676 --> 00:26:34,095
- Wait. Who was that?
759
00:26:34,137 --> 00:26:36,806
- I think that was
the coach's nephew, maybe.
760
00:26:36,848 --> 00:26:38,307
Show some respect.
761
00:26:38,349 --> 00:26:40,977
- I walk from here to the end
of the studio,
762
00:26:41,018 --> 00:26:42,645
and that's where
the Winnebago was at.
763
00:26:42,687 --> 00:26:44,981
- Hey, jagoff. You left us.
Where'd you go?
764
00:26:45,022 --> 00:26:46,607
- No big deal.
765
00:26:46,649 --> 00:26:48,526
Just walked onto the field,
into the Steelers' locker room,
766
00:26:48,568 --> 00:26:49,986
took a shower with the team.
767
00:26:50,027 --> 00:26:52,989
He goes,
"Get the--out of here."
768
00:26:53,030 --> 00:26:55,366
I said, "Smell my hair.
Still wet."
769
00:26:55,408 --> 00:26:56,993
Then I went onto the bus.
- How? How? How?
770
00:26:57,034 --> 00:26:59,162
- And I stole one
of the player's cameras.
771
00:26:59,203 --> 00:27:00,955
I got it all right here.
772
00:27:00,997 --> 00:27:03,207
I looked Terry Bradshaw
right in his eyes,
773
00:27:03,249 --> 00:27:05,334
and I did exactly what I said
I was gonna do.
774
00:27:05,376 --> 00:27:07,170
I asked him
if he wanted to be roommates.
775
00:27:07,211 --> 00:27:08,880
- What did he say?
What did he say?
776
00:27:08,921 --> 00:27:11,674
- Uh, no.
[laughter]
777
00:27:11,716 --> 00:27:13,134
And the next morning,
we wake up.
778
00:27:13,176 --> 00:27:14,677
We had to call into my dad.
779
00:27:14,719 --> 00:27:19,015
Dad, it's Rick. We're alive.
780
00:27:19,057 --> 00:27:20,308
We had to check in.
781
00:27:20,349 --> 00:27:22,226
He just wanted to make sure
we weren't dead.
782
00:27:22,268 --> 00:27:24,979
- You know, there's an article
in the paper this morning.
783
00:27:25,021 --> 00:27:27,774
Some jamoke snuck into
the Steelers' locker room
784
00:27:27,815 --> 00:27:30,485
after that game last night.
785
00:27:30,526 --> 00:27:31,652
There's no names,
786
00:27:31,694 --> 00:27:35,156
but I'd recognize
that mustache anywhere.
787
00:27:35,198 --> 00:27:37,867
- And my dad said,
"[bleep] Ricky."
788
00:27:37,909 --> 00:27:40,620
- Yes.
- Yes.
789
00:27:40,661 --> 00:27:44,207
- Whatever it takes, old man.
I love you.
790
00:27:44,248 --> 00:27:46,876
- Rick, you can talk to Dad
when we get home!
791
00:27:46,918 --> 00:27:49,337
Get in the van!
792
00:27:52,048 --> 00:27:53,716
- Hey, Rick,
did you get any money
793
00:27:53,758 --> 00:27:54,884
from the locker room?
794
00:27:54,926 --> 00:27:56,677
'Cause we have none for gas.
795
00:27:58,096 --> 00:27:59,514
- And that's the end
of my story.
796
00:27:59,555 --> 00:28:01,140
- Thank you, Rick.
- Yes, thank you.
797
00:28:01,182 --> 00:28:02,850
- That was so awesome.
- What a great story.
798
00:28:02,892 --> 00:28:05,645
- Man, I can't believe
that happened to me, right?
799
00:28:05,686 --> 00:28:07,939
And I'm sitting here
to tell it with you two guys,
800
00:28:07,980 --> 00:28:09,774
the best two guys
there could have been.
801
00:28:09,816 --> 00:28:11,275
I'll never forget it.
802
00:28:11,317 --> 00:28:12,568
- Well, thank you
for joining us, folks.
803
00:28:12,610 --> 00:28:15,405
Hope you enjoyed
the Super Bowl and Rick.
804
00:28:15,446 --> 00:28:17,407
- Ha! It was one to remember.
805
00:28:17,448 --> 00:28:20,076
I've been Don Green.
- I'm Joe Jankowicz.
806
00:28:20,118 --> 00:28:22,286
- Up next, Winter Olympics.
807
00:28:25,581 --> 00:28:27,125
Hungary, huh?
808
00:28:27,166 --> 00:28:28,584
- Want to, uh, maybe watch
some downhill skiing
809
00:28:28,626 --> 00:28:30,503
on the Olympics
and have a couple beers?
810
00:28:30,545 --> 00:28:31,796
- Yeah.
811
00:28:31,838 --> 00:28:34,757
