The full Pomp and Joe Show, with Joe Starkey and Austin Bechtold (behind the glass), from Tuesday, October 21st, 2025

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: It makes sense to go all in on the Steelers offense because you can't trust the defense. The offense has to compensate for the highest-paid defense in football. AJ Brown, Jakobi Meyers, and Jaylen Waddle are three players who would look great with the Steelers.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Nick thought Thursday's loss to Cincinnati was a coaching and talent issue. Darius Slay didn't look good and Jalen Ramsey is better in the slot. Is this fixable? He thinks Joey Porter Jr. is a No. 2 corner, but is very inconsistent. Ravens reporter Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun joined the show. Ravens players don't like the scheme and players have a fear of making mistakes.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: The Mike Tomlin Press Conference. Joey Porter Jr. continues to be called for big penalties. Joe questions if Porter Jr. is even a good corner, where his penalties are close to Pat Surtain, but Surtain is great and he won Defensive POTY.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Brian Batko doesn't think Aaron Rodgers will break the Steelers touchdown pass record but is a little surprised Rodgers is having this great of success. The Pirates haven't made the World Series in 46 years, the second longest drought in all of baseball. We discuss how the MLB needs a salary cap and salary floor and how the sport MUST ADAPT.

The Seattle Mariners are the only team to never reach the World Series. The Pirates haven't made the World Series in 46 years, the second longest drought in all of baseball. We discuss how the MLB needs a salary cap and salary floor and how the sport MUST ADAPT.

Brian Batko doesn't think Aaron Rodgers will break the Steelers touchdown pass record but is a little surprised Rodgers is having this great of success. We want the Steelers to go back to the tush push and the penalty really hurt them. The tight end tush push works! Brian doesn't think the Steelers need a No. 2 receiver with so many tight ends and running the football.

Joey Porter Jr. continues to be called for big penalties. Joe questions if Porter Jr. is even a good corner, where his penalties are close to Pat Surtain, but Surtain is great and he won Defensive POTY. The Steelers apparently don't view Porter Jr. as a No.1 cornerback.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin recaps the Cincinnati Bengals loss, previews the game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

The Ravens blew multiple double digit leads to the Bills and there has been a huge hangover. Lamar Jackson didn't play the last two games and the Ravens were a major problem offensively. Ravens players don't like the scheme and players have a fear of making mistakes.
