Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the rich Podcast, Starry Chris Bruckman. When it
comes to determining the favorite team of your kids, your
kids really don't have free will unless they're actively rebelling
(00:21):
against you. But you know what, I really didn't like
my dad, so I started rooting for the Dodgers, Chris Law, Joe,
Joe Pesci, Joe Pesci, Martini in and Free Alive. And
it was a hot day, so I went to hydrate
myself at the at the bar and he walks up
with his martini, Barrett, Barrett, they tell you the drink
was from me. There he goes, yes, Mr Peshi. He goes,
(00:42):
it's fucking awful, Nick eye contact and I keep looking forward.
I just don't know what to do. And then he
looks at me and he goes beard, And here is
your host, richen Ah. Yes. What better way to welcome
(01:07):
you to the latest edition of the rich Os and
Podcast post Memorial Day Weekend, two thousand and fourteen getting
on the cusp of June of the two thousand fourteen
calendar year than a Gregorian chant open by one of
our listeners from Central Europe. Yes, Ivan, I don't have
(01:28):
it in front of me. But I believe it. Ivan,
I don't have it in front of me. Is his
name now officially? Yes? What better way to welcome you
into the latest edition of the Rich Eyes and Podcast
than that. Good to see both of my Chris is
Chris Long, Good to see you see Chris Brockman. Good
to see gentlemen. Well what is cracking? I don't know. UM,
(01:51):
still in a holding pattern here on this program. We
are after a week off. Good job on the best
of it was fun. Thank you, great time, a fun time,
and thank you everyone for the feedback. Yeah, tons of
great feedback. I have to be honest with you, m M.
I'm a little surprised you actually went ahead and did it?
Law Yes, when when I when when the tweet came
(02:14):
out last week, when I was in the midst of
traveling a little bit, um uh for the good people
of Courtyard by Marriott, you know, with whom I having
a very nice relationship, um. And then it came out
on Tuesday that that you went ahead and did it?
You actually went ahead? And how many clips did you?
In fact, poll, I think I pulled about eighteen or nineteen.
(02:34):
There was a couple of you didn't get to like
I had Gabrielle Reese on Dion Sanders, him her telling
him that he was a bad man and was gonna,
you know, there's better people in the draft, but he
was gonna go higher. Is there enough for another one? Oh?
We could definitely do another one because I think about
all the people that we didn't include. Well, because there's
gonna be some times coming up in the next few
(02:55):
weeks where I'm tapping out again. I'm tapping out again. No,
there's definitely we didn't get. Maybe maybe a July fourth
edition that's the best of July fourth where you got
a month to pull stuff. I went to Game four
of the Kings and black Hawks series Monday night, standing
there waiting for I went with our good friend of
the program, Colin Hanks and his wife, Susie my wife.
(03:18):
We all went sort of a sort of a couple's thing,
ran into Aaron Andrews there. You know, uh, Mrs Darren
Stall correct Jared Stall Parks, I say, Darren, damn, I'm
a big Kings fan. Huge, Jared Stall. I know it's Jared.
(03:39):
She was there a Stone Street. Stone Street was there too,
and um, at any rate, long story short is I'm
standing at the top of the gate, you know the tunnel.
Uh in the atrium waiting waiting for Colin and yeah,
and a guy in a head to tell and black
(04:00):
Hawks gear with his two little boys in black Hawks
gear looks at me. He goes because you know, I
guess he knew I was rooting for the Kings, and
he said, keep it up, You're gonna lose. Yes. And
I'm thinking that, certainly, since that came from a July
fourth trip two years ago, you believe that's two years old,
that story coming up, that maybe that should be part
(04:21):
of a best of retelling. That story. Clearly, the kind
of Volley Jeter story that you just re aired this
past week, that might be. I went back the fan
favorite story. I went back and listened to that whole episode.
It's so good because just because you tell your maddingly
story and you said that and then he goes into
(04:45):
the Jeter one man, he goes, bro, I hear you
it is fattestic to wrap with iced tea like that. Well,
I mean it was great and um, and I know
it was a great ideas. Certainly, since Susie said that's
what I think I would want to listen to it's
not that she's going to listen to listen to it.
(05:07):
She'd be like, you know what, I loved it. And
as you guys saw firsthand on Memorial Day Sunday when
you came over, you with your lovely wife Chris Law
and Brockman with with with his cookies and um pasta
dish pesto pasta. Very appropriate things to bring, thank you.
(05:29):
Not very appropriate, correct you Actually Brockman came correct coming
to the house, very correct coming to the house. And uh,
but you saw firsthand. Wise, Susie is not listening to
too many podcasts or me. They are running around and
you were there for a major moment moment that was great.
(05:54):
My oldest son Xander lost his first tooth biting on
biting on a giant hunk of corner. This is how
little I know about kids. Chair goes. That's probably his.
The first tooth was loose. I'm like, first tooth. He
probably lost the first to three years ago. What are
you talking about. Suddenly you're the asshole, Suddenly I'm the
big time. She's like one of you guys cract be like, no,
(06:16):
this will be his first tooth. No, it wasn't anything
first too that was a big moment. Yeah, you took
it like a champad. That was a little bloody. I
mean it was a little blood. You had some blood
on the shirt. Yeah, I was Yeah, blood on my
shirt on the shirt as I picked him up and
I closed the stuff and out of him. That was
a great moment. The guys were there, but you you're
(06:36):
you're seeing what Susy can only say that she would
want to because now she's finished with Breaking Bad, she
wants to hear the Vince Gilligan one. So there's uh,
if we do do another one, I'm sure listeners have
if we should, we show because there's more. So we'll
do something where they can tweet us some of the
bites and we'll go pull them and then, you know.
(06:56):
I think what was interesting for probably some of the
listeners was hearing some of the backstory find some of
the interviews too, where the guest appearances. Well well done boys. Yeah,
I got a lot of tweets of Wow, didn't realize
I'd been listening that long. You know, people with us
from the beginning, just like we had kind of forgotten
some of those great moments, and we've passed fourteen and
a half million dollars for the show fourteen and a
(07:18):
half million dollars. Well, we'll hit fifteen million this summer.
This summer. Yeah, and um, we started in two thousand
and ten at the outside of season. Is that true?
September two? Yeah, with Dan Patrick and Ray Lewis the
first guest and now the latest show with guests in studio.
(07:38):
Jerry Ferrara of Entourage, Jerry, I don't have to thank
him for my entourage cameo. Wait a minute, I didn't
get one. Didn't get one. Our plan last week was
we're going to really push Jerry for a premier invite
to kind of make up to make up for that. Okay,
we can work on that. And our friends the Squar Brothers.
(07:59):
I appeared in their many special that's on Netflix that
people should download. We'll talk about that. Um and Teddy Bridgewater, Yes, Bridgewater,
Tedd h Teddy b h too, fresh off of the
Minnesota Vikings o t a S first team reps. Actually well,
I mean yeah, I mean he's you know, even though
Mayok said that he's the guy with most polishing that
(08:21):
needs to be done before starting in the NFL, he
might get that chance. Well, it's just funny to see
the Vikings kind of handled this quarterback situation when a
team a little south east of them very differently, well,
because they have two different guys. Bridgewater, who we're going
to talk to again on the phone. Um, if you're
(08:44):
not aware, the first thing he did was moved to
Minnesota immediately, immediately, and I want to talk to him
about that. And again, Johnny Manzel, the person to whom
you're referring to, and the the the Browns, it's just
no matter what happens with him, it's news, no matter
what he does, no matter what's done with him. Let's
(09:05):
start with that part first. What's done with him? He's
getting third team reps. He's watching Tyler Thigpen take more reps.
Johnny Football is watching Tyler Thigpen, who was signed signed
just last month. When the Browns were kicking the tires,
they had Vince Young there for a cup of coffee,
and all the Ohio State fans or the Ohio fans,
(09:27):
they are joking, that's that's uh. That's punishment for you
beat in Ohio State back when you were in Texas.
Is that the Browns throw on the lifeline for a
grand total of ten days essentially or less than that,
and then the drafting of Manziella's would force the release
of him. Tyler Thigpen. It's not like Thigpen has been
around there like Howyer, right, and Lawyer hasn't haven't been
(09:48):
around there very long either. Lawyers only started three games.
But you cannot, you cannot just hand something to anybody
anymore unless it's luck or r G three right, And
even then you have to make some sort of a
show that he's earning it. But Manzille is getting thirdeen reps.
And I was on Dan Show or Good Buddy DP
(10:11):
and it made the analogy that it struck me. It
looked they're slapping the puppy over the nose of the
newspaper and make sure he doesn't poop in the wrong place. Essentially, well,
he pooped in the wrong place this week. And that's
the point is that the the is the news that
he makes outside of it. It's what is done with him.
(10:34):
That's news. If you got first team reps, that would
be news. If he got thirteen reps as he's been getting,
that's news. And what's doing what's he doing himself? Hanging
out in Vegas with Gronk instagramming photographs of him with
all sorts of manners of hot chicks right in bikinis.
(10:55):
Looked like one of those one of those Yeah, Dana
White's I don't that that's sort of thing. Is that happens?
But if you're the face of you know, here you go.
If you're the face of a franchise or you're going
to be the savior of a franchise, do you go
ahead and go to what was that rehab or whatever
the heck that that's called? That that pool party in Vegas?
Is that what he was at? It looks like it's
(11:16):
that he was not the hard or what I would imagine.
That looks like if that's rehab, rich, sign me up
for I know, but I mean, is that the way
you should be going about your business? Larry Fitzgerald came
on the show two shows, actually two episodes of what
he said about not not being taking a cameo role.
(11:39):
Offered to him, you'd be chalky whit No, you know
your board walk up the show. I got admit that. Sorry,
but but you have that talk about dancing with the
stars to go for it, you know what, Like I've
had a lot of opportunities to do to do that stuff.
But I just no, my window of opportunity to be
(12:03):
great at what I do is so fine, a fine night.
I just want to make sure that I'm doing everything
I can to maximize my potential right now. I feel
like those opportunities potentially still be there once I'm done,
you know, dancing with the snor They've asked me three
or four years in the row to do it, and
I just, you know, I'm just I just don't want to.
I don't want my teammates, you know, I think that
(12:24):
I'm not fully invested in what we're trying to accomplish.
You know. Interesting, So you think just even taking the
day to go to l A to be Chalky White
sentiment or wherever they shoot it, maybe in New Jersey,
that that would be that that takes your eye off
the ball of what you're trying to accomplish on the
football field. Um, in some circles that it could be
(12:45):
viewed that way, It could be viewed that way, So
you're have it. I mean, here, here, he is a guy,
he's he's got essentially his Hall of Fame credentials all
set up. One day he's gonna wear a gold jacket.
Larry Fitzgerald, you will see that, okay. And here he
is essentially saying, you know what, I'm not gonna go
(13:06):
do a cameo on Boardwalk Empire, which you guys all
know having done cameos yourself. It's a one day thing.
Not even we were there three hours. It's one day.
They'd fly him in or wherever they shoot whatever scene
for Chalky White, he'd be He'd be lionized on the set.
People would flip out and he would get to, you know,
(13:30):
do something that's really cool for him. One of his
favorite TV shows. Be in it, say a line and
get out of dodge. And he won't do it because
it might send the wrong message to his teammates or league,
the league, or fans. He said, I only have such
a finite amount of time to do to be great
in this league. Yeah, but how how is going and
hanging out on the set of Boardwalk Empire for one day.
(13:53):
I'm gonna mess with that, But it does in his mind.
He's also ten years older than Johnny. He's some might
say Larry's sort of at the nearing the end of
his career. Johnny's has an even start well, that's just
he's gonna Johnny's gonna do it his way, or or
in his mind he feels he can be as successful
in the NFL, living his life in the same manner
(14:15):
that he lived it or close to it on the
college campus. And and him showing up with Gronk, who
is not the face of a franchise. He is not
Brady's the face of that franchise, as all quarterbacks are
usually for their teams. And there he is with Gronk party,
and that is an image that gives somebody that that
(14:38):
is one less day that his face is not in
Kyle Shanahan's playbook. That's one less day that he's not
in the Cleveland area sitting in a film room. And
the question is is that a problem? Again, doesn't matter
what he does, We're going to talk about it. Here's
the thing you mentioned that, Rich, And of course, yesterday afternoon,
(15:00):
Nzel instagram's out of photo of himself on the plane
with his iPad and the Cleveland Browns playbook, and he
his caption, guess it's impossible to enjoy the weekend and study. Yeah,
because he's here in it already, he's hearing it and
and and it's it's something that he's going to have
(15:21):
to deal with or he's dealt with it. I mean,
this is nothing new for him, but it's it. You're right.
He is a twenty one year old kid, and and
so was almost Peyton Manning when he came out from
Tennessee and he went ahead and moved to Indianapolis and said,
(15:43):
Jim more, if you're gonna be his Morris told the story,
Seniors told the story many times. You make me number
one overall. I'm going to go ahead and learn this playbook.
I'll move in, I'll basically be there every single day
and get to do this. And Ryan Leave says, I'm
gonna go with my buddies in fly to Vegas. And
we have laughed about that story for almost four years
on this show. So Man's l shows up with his
(16:08):
buddies in Vegas, Memorial Day, weekend trophy winning. These are
the analogies that will be drawn and made as long
as he continues to do it. And it's the truth,
and he's the only way he is going to quiet
it is if he goes out and crushes it this
(16:31):
year or does well enough or gets the job. That's
the only way. It's the only way and the reason why.
In many ways, I think that the Browns are making
him take third team reps is to quiet that beast
that you saw in Las Vegas. But why would you
want to quiet the beast? That's the guy you want
on the field. On the field, he shows that he
(16:52):
does it with that fire and that passion. Just let
him live his life. The man's l quandary people. By
the way, I would think that as a career one
and eleven as a star, I know, and they were
giving him more reps. Clearly he needs the reps. I
think that reps at one and eleven career wise, this right,
wild Texas say, and m I believe just unveiled a
(17:14):
seventeen million dollar new football And who do you take
help pay for that? Well, well, I know everyone wants
to say they did have a top tick quarterback go
before him. Also, I mean they had they turned some
things around. Who used to be a wide receiver? Well
he didn't win a Heisman troph You you're saying that's
the house that Tannehill bill, I'm not saying it's the
house that Tannehill thought him. Still, look at how many
(17:36):
first round picks that school has had in the past years.
Come on, Johnny Manziel is a bright, hot, shining light.
He is a star. He is a star. There's no
question about it. Again, New York City, hard bitten cops,
security guards coming up to me and wondering what's going
(18:00):
on with Johnny Manziel. They're not asking me about the
Giants first round draft choice and asking me about Calvin
pryor the Jets first round draft choice. They're asking about that.
I want to have. You know, we're gonna hit this
up with Ferrara, but first let's let's go ahead and
is Bridgewater on the phone? Teddy Bridgewater? Okay, let's get
(18:21):
to Teddy. As promised, we kick off this show with
an interview with the the third quarterback taken in this
year's draft, the last one of the first round from
the University of Louisville, The Minnesota Vikings select Teddy Bridgewater,
who joins the Rich Eyes and Podcast. How are you, Teddy?
I'm fine. How's how's everything been for you? Just I
guess the first month. It was just a little bit
(18:44):
less than a month ago that you were taken by
the Vikings. At the end of the first round. Everything
has been good. You know, it's been a smooth transition.
I've been here for about three weeks now, and I'm
feeling very comfortable. Is it true that you packed your things?
You moved right to Minnesota first thing, first thing, the
minute I was driving That next morning, I was out
on the next flight to Minnesota. And I've been here since.
(19:05):
You haven't caught you haven't left the city the state.
Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I just left this
past weekend. I had to get back home and I
was being around a family. But you know, I've been
here for just about three weeks now. So where have
you been staying? You got somebody you're crashing with, You
get a you get a spot. How did you get
how did you get set up so quickly? Right now?
(19:27):
I'm just living out of a hotel um, you know,
until I can found, uh, finally settled down and you know,
find somewhere to live. But why do you feel the
need to do that. I just felt that it was
important for me to just get in right away, and
you know, get into the playbook. They become a better
football player right away. And if I had the opportunity,
(19:48):
and I felt that it was best to just take
advantage of that opportunity to being able to arrive here
early and just get started. So what have you so, I,
you know, you are seeing some of your draft colleagues
with Instagram photographs that they're out and about Ryan. Have
you seen those photographs, Teddy? Not really, you know, I've
(20:10):
been staying away from Instagram and all the social networks,
just you know, wearing about binding with my teammateson you know, um,
celebrating and enjoying with those guys. Right. So, North, what
what what has your conversation relationship been with your new
offensive coordinator North Turner? The conversations have been pretty good
and our relationship is is pretty solid. Um. And I
(20:33):
was able to establish relationship with North during the pre
draft dirty business and the Top thirty business and um,
you know everything that everything that I expected is He's
exceeded expectations thus far. And you know, from whether it's
just coaching on the field or teaching aspect in the classroom,
in the film room and uh side. Relationship is a
pretty solid one. So what what is your what have
(20:56):
your conversations been with with coach Zimmer and your opera
tunity to potentially start week one of your rookie season, Teddy. Um,
you know the message has been that, Um, you know,
coach is gonna play play me whenever he feels that
I'm comfortable and whenever he feels comfortable with you know,
the way I've been playing. So you know, all I
(21:17):
can do right now is just focused on just getting better,
learning a playbook, learning the system, just trying to become
a better teammate. Do you want to start week one?
It's always been a goal, but you know, the coaches
have the best, Um, coaches will make the best decision.
The coaches have, um, you know, the last say so,
and they'll do us best for this team. Adrian Peterson,
(21:39):
what was your first conversation with him? Like, you know,
I've yet to meet Adrian and um, but you know,
you know he's someone that I'm going to look forward
to continue learning from. You. No, not not only from
a football aspect, because if you think about it, this
is a guy who's been an NFL, m v P
and everything one Russian titles. Um, Now I'm interested in
(22:01):
just learning from a mental standpoint on how he prepares
for games and you know what motivates him and how
he sets goals and things like that. Can I give
you a tip on meeting him for the first time, Teddy,
I'll take a guess. Uh, let me take a guess.
Is it be prepared for a hard hand? Well, let's
(22:22):
put it this way. It's not really a handshake. It's
he's taking your blood pressure, you know what I mean.
Like he'll shake your hand and you'll begin to feel
your pulse thump in your elbow working all the way
up to your by and tricept and he could probably
tell you what your blood pressure is when he shakes
(22:43):
your hand. I think that I just have to wear
some gloves and when I get ready sick his hands. Well,
that's that's that's your m O. Right, we're in the gloves.
Oh yeah, right, I mean, but I don't even think
there's a glove to protect you from that sort of thing.
Maybe he'll take it easy on you, because, as you know,
you might be starting week one. You never know. I think, uh,
(23:04):
you know, he has a foundation on the way he
shakes someone ahead, and I don't think he'll take it
any lightly on me. Tell me about this pink Cadillac
that everyone's talking about that you bought for your mom,
Can you walk me through this story, um, and and
and the genesis of it, and and and and why
why you went ahead and did it so soon? Um?
(23:26):
You know, I had the help of Cadillac. You know,
everyone thinks that I when I and brought the Cadillac,
but they escalate. But Cadillac made it all happen, you know. Um,
they had heard our stories and they watched our videos
over YouTube, and you know it, it touched the people
at Cadillac, and you know, they took action. They wanted to,
(23:48):
you know, do something spectaclar for my mom since it
was around her birthday and around Mother's Day, and you know,
they felt that it was the perfect time for me
to just you know present her with that Cadillac. So, Um,
everyone played a role in there, from Spike Lee and
his crew to the people that Cadillac. So it was
just thankful that you know, we were able to I
was able to fulfill that promise. For those who did
(24:09):
haven't seen the the YouTube videos, we have a lot
of international listeners as well. What is the significance of
that car? Um? Basically, when I was in third grade,
I just promised my mom that now I would buy
her a pink Cadillac escalated with pink rims, and it's
amazing as I got older. You know, my mom was
(24:30):
diagnosed with breast cancer and pink happened to be the
color that resembled and represents breast cancer. So I continue
to just go forward with you know, the pink car
just so my support to you know, breast cancer awareness also,
and you know also it's just one of her favorite colors,
being a breast cancer survivor and seeing all the pink,
it just meant a lot to her. So No, it
(24:52):
was just um, a story, a dream of promise that
I made in third grade and it finally came true.
And what was spikes connection? How did how did you?
How did he get involved? Um? Spike he heard the
story also and he just wanted to you know, film
you know, every step up, every step, and Um, basically
(25:13):
we wanted to do something spectaclar. You know, we had
a lunching for my mother also, and you know, Spike
he played a huge role in just settling it up,
being that he had He's from New York and his
ties uh to the New York City. So UM's just
been able to film the entire the entire process and
the entire movement. That was his role. That's pretty neat man. Yeah,
that has to be such a great feeling for you
(25:35):
to be able to make that third grade promise come true,
Teddy for your mind, Yeah, it was. It was. It's
a very good felling and and um, you know, it's
it's great knowing that you know, you can keep your
word and you know as the years go on, you're
never lose sight and you always you know, just stay focused.
(25:56):
And you know, without her help, I feel that none
of that would have been possible. Leaders Um, you know,
she she had a huge role in that. Also, who
else have you been taking counsel and other than your
family through this process, through the old talent evaluation process,
the whole U pro day stuff and the draft and
and now who who have you been leaning on outside
(26:16):
of your family? I've been talking to, Um, Donovan McNabb,
Kurt warna Umb and those guys have just been you know,
teaching me and and outs of everything. If you look
at Donovan, uh, he's someone who was a high draft
pick and you know, he had a great career in
Philadelphia and he was also here in Minnesota. So um,
(26:40):
you know, then you look at Kurt Warner where his
path was different, but you know, I'm sure something in
common which is a plan with the gloves, so you know,
I can always him for advice and things like that.
And then with Abram, you know, he's someone who's just
a very intelligent person. He's actually advising me, and you
know he's been there for him since the pre right process.
(27:00):
So those three guys have been in my corner this
far and I have been making me helping me make
the transition. Now. I know Kurt would probably tell you
never to take the glove off ever, under any circumstances
anywhere ever. Again, correct, that's exactly what he's about. To
stay true to who you are. Yeah, I love Kurt
and and McNabb I imagine you know, I mean, he's
been through it all. Donovan's seen everything I mean, and
(27:23):
I know you you waited to be drafted the whole
first night. He pretty much came out almost right off
the bat and got a welcome because he wasn't Ricky Williams.
Essentially the Philadelphia Eagle fans booed him from jump straight
and he has he has dealt with all sorts of
UH media issues throughout his entire career. I mean, you
(27:45):
haven't had to deal with that yet. I'm just wondering,
what what advice if you wouldn't mind sharing that Donovan
has been able to give you. The number one thing
is just have sort term memory, and um, you can't.
You can't let one mistake, you know, carry on to
the next play, or I want bad decision care into
the next play, and just to have thick skin because
you know, at the end of the day, everyone's going
(28:06):
to point the fingers at the quarterback. So um, Donovan
has just been able to share those things with me.
And you know, um, I'm just thankful to have him
in my corner. And you sound like a very humble guy.
That's what everybody says about you. But what you know, obviously,
being a quarterback, you have to have an ego. I
you know we all do in my end of the
business too, no matter how humble I I feel like
(28:29):
I am, even though some of my producers would would
beg to differ with that. Teddy, But what what how
How large is the size of the chip on your
shoulder coming into the NFL? Would you say, well, I could?
I can't even put a specific size on it, but
you know there is uh somewhat of a chip. But
I know that, you know, I just have to continue
to stay with them my character and trust you know,
(28:51):
the guys in that locker room, trust his coaching staff,
and I know that they have my best interests and
they want nothing best, nothing but the best for his team. Right.
But you you have you I mean some people that
I've I've covered before, Maurice Jones Drew war thirty two
because that was the number of teams that passed up
on him. I'm just wondering if you have a mental
note in your head of the teams that had an
(29:12):
opportunity to take you and did not moving forward? Oh,
you know, I'll turn not to pay attention to that
because and I try to pull all the pre draft
things behind because it felt like it was years ago.
So you know, I'm at the end of the day,
I'm just glad to be in Minnesota and I want
to do the best liking that I can be. You know,
um for the teams that passed me up. You know,
(29:35):
everything just happened for a reason. I'm happy being in
Minnesota and I'm just looking forward to getting my career started.
And if you pointed out that you've already brought a
super Bowl to Minnesota. I mean, you're there for two
weeks and you bring a super Bowl, Teddy? Have you know?
Have you pointed that out to anybody? You should? You should?
You should? I had nothing to do it down right there.
(29:56):
That's not true. That's not true. That's not true. We
we as in this podcast gives guests who appear on
it a bump, a bump. You will feel the podcast bump.
You may not now, it may come later this fall,
but whenever it comes, you'll know it, and you should
take credit. I mean, for decades they've been waiting to
bring a super Bowl there, and I understand they got
a new building and all that stuff, But I mean, Teddy,
(30:18):
I think you have something to do with it. Be
very honest with you. No, I had nothing to do it.
It's all of the langest man his men, and the
guys in that locker room and everyone who plays and
my producer right here. Just to wrap things up, do
you remember a guy when apparently you had the draft
card from the commissioner your draft card? Correct? Is that
true story, Teddy? And then you dropped it on draft night?
(30:41):
And my producer don't. I don't know if you remember this, Teddy,
but after you got picked by the commissioner, he signs
the card for you, and you guys get that. And
you were doing some interviews after the draft ended, and
I think you dropped it or it was on the floor.
I picked it up and I popped over and gave
it to you there at Radio City. Um, I can't remember.
(31:02):
I was so excited, no lasting impressions for me. Apparently
he handed you the card back. He's so proud of that,
and Teddy, you don't even remember meeting him, do you,
all right, Teddy, Yeah, I'll apologize. I was just caught
up in the excited. Yeah, he's so excited. He's like,
oh yeah, he dropped the car to gave it back
(31:24):
to him, did the morally good thing. And he doesn't.
That's okay because the man was definitely um having his
dream realized. Teddy, listen, thanks for coming on. I appreciate
you spending time, and um, good luck to you down
the road. We look forward to having you on again,
no problem, Thanks for having me, you bet. That's Teddy
Bridgewater of the Minnesota Vikings here on the Rich Eyes
(31:45):
and podcast. He did not remember Chris Law. Yeah. Yeah,
somebody told me that I should have helped. So you
so you you you you see Teddy Bridgewater come off
the stage. Yeah, after after he comes off the stage,
they came down and did media. They did NFL dot com,
just as the fans would as the fans are filing
(32:06):
out because he was. Fans are gone at this point, right,
but it's going dark. All the union heads are trying
to get everyone out of there. And uh, his the
pit card that the commissioner read and signed for him.
I see on the floor and I pick it up
and it says with the thirty second pick Teddy Bridge.
Pick it up and like, I'll go take this over
to him, make an impression. Yeah, and you did clearly
(32:27):
not I, but you brought it over to him. And
you're like, how cool is that? I I gave Teddy
Bridgewater something that keeps sake that he would have been
bummed to not have. You're a difference, your maker, You're
a factor, and you thought he would remember you and
then not at all, not at all. I should have
held onto it and mailed it to the Vikings, and
then maybe he'd have been indebted to the show. What
could have been like, uh, you know, a new player
(32:47):
goes to a new team and they want their jersey number,
but someone else has it. You maybe could have held
it for Rance for problem. You know that's next. That's
really sneaky stuff. Dude, I enjoyed my job just saying.
Or you just do the the good Samaritan thing as
you just heard Teddy Bridgewater is a very good guy
doing things for his mom, paying off promises from third grade,
things of that nature. Or you could hold that guy
(33:09):
for ransom. Good job out of you, Brockman. I did Christmas,
Yes you did, your bastard person. This is what you
are joining us now here in studio, good friend of
the program, good friend good Man. Overall, his new movie
Think Like a Man to file Away. It's coming June. Uh,
and then next June is the Entourage film that everybody's
(33:31):
looking forward to. Um. And of course, if you were
ever looking for a good meal here in this town,
go to his Fat Sounds Delhi, whether in Westwood, Hollywood
or even San Diego, California, and he's wearing a Fat
Sounds lid here in studio. Good to see Jerry Ferraro
back on the program. How are you? How are you?
And you just literally hit everything. That's my whole life.
I have nothing else those three things other than that, Like, yeah,
(33:54):
I got like a niece and nephew. That's it. Nothing
else to discuss. Yeah, because the Nicks are out a Ranger. Yeah,
I stopped watching hockey after the lockout in ninety five,
the year after the Rangers won the Cup and I
was all excited as a little kid and they locked
the players out and I said, I'm done. I was
a Ranger fan ever since knee hid to a jack rabbit,
as as Warren Sap would say. But Dolan just beat
(34:18):
it out of me. You know, he's almost beaten the
Nick fan out of me. But he owns Yeah, yeah,
it's Massises Square Garden. His whole family owns the Garden
and Radio City Music Hall. I didn't know. I didn't
know he owned the Ring, Vision owns everything. He owns
Billy Joel now and he owns me as well. Is
that right? I don't know that. Yes, yes, he's got
(34:40):
a piece of fat sound. He might doesn't have to
look through the paperwork. He might so before we hit
the draft and all these other issues, I we gotta
we gotta hit the Entourage movie. Am I the only
one who did not have a cameo in this film
pretty much? And what's shocking about that is like you
absolutely could have had one. I think a lot of
what we were doing was kind of in your busy
(35:02):
season as they the draft and all that. We were
we were ready for you. I'm never busy enough for you, guys.
I may not would have made it. I mean you
could literally almost name the football player who was in
town training that they were in the movie. Now, Connolly
broke his ankle, so he's not an ankle Like this
(35:23):
is nasty. Way involves Russell Wilson and you on the
front line. So Russell Wilson, who has a ring now
as we all know, is on set. Uh, good friends
with Doug Ellen. We used to go watch literally Russell
in Wisconsin. Doug has connections to Wisconsin. So Russell's on set.
So we're doing this montage kind of beach party scene
(35:46):
and in the scene it's just Connolly's going out. I'm
covering them. Russell's throwing passes. I go out. Now, the
worst thing to do with actors is kind of not
tell us what we're supposed to do and just kind
of do, like, hey, we're gonna turn the cameras on,
see what happens. That's not very smart, especially on the
beach with rocks and all that. But first play, Connolly
goes out, he catches it. Second play, I go out,
I catch it. Connolly drills me, literally drills. Third play,
(36:09):
Conney runs a little post. No one's running really fast.
Russell throws it to him. I kind of wrap him up.
Connolly stiff arms me in the face. Um that might
have been flagged. And then literally I kind of brought
him down. But obviously I never want to hurt Kevin Connelly.
Guy is one of my best friends, and I know
he'd never want to hurt me. And we both went
down and heard something weird and then he said, I
(36:31):
think I screwed my ankle up. And he pops up quick,
and Russell Wilson runs over and he's like tire ankles type.
He's only had a high ankle sprain. Guy works the
whole day, works the next day. Finally one Russell Wilson
is attending to him because he knows how to deal
with high ankle sprains and he's tied that you better
lace that up tight. So Connolly ties his laces real tide.
(36:52):
He limps off and Tommy's Connolly is a tough kid.
It's not gonna really just be like, oh I hurt
my ankle. I knew something was wrong that day. Worked
the next day, finally went to like a strip mall
to get some X rays, and like, you broke your
femur bone in two places, and within three days he
was in surgery. He went Jack young Blood, he finish
the finished the game. So strip mall, what do you mean?
(37:13):
Like we were in Palas Verdies. I don't literally mean
a strip mall. Like we went to the closest We
were kind of remote out there, so we went to
the closest place to get X rays. And then he
actually and Jim Gray was on set possibly doing a
camera nut you've touched the nerve, and Jim May got
(37:33):
the doctor situation for Connolly set up, so it wasn't
very Jim Grays contacts in southern California. Connelly was in
surgery like three days. I gotta be honest with you,
I I probably I could have maybe gotten electrosh on
the phone. There were calls made to Okay, so I mean,
I could have done that because at this point, yeah,
(37:56):
now you you've you've pressed my competitive buttons here. Okay,
are the other announcers that are in this film? Who
are the other? Because I know you got Cuban. Cuban
is you know, he's he's a he's a gimmy. We
knew Cuban was gonna be in Gronk. We knew that's
in Bread. Tom Brady's in this film. I get it.
I'm not quarterback. I'm not an owner. I'm at a
tight end. I'm out a quarterback like Russell Wilson er
(38:17):
Tom Brady. Who are the other announcers are in this film?
Jim Gray made it? Who else? You're smiling like there
are more? No, No, that's it. That's it. Jim Gray
is the only announcer. I'm gonna see it. I'm gonna
see it. I'm gonna see it on the silver screen.
I don't think this is applicable, but Pierce Morgan's in there.
But I don't think that's that's in apples and orange
situations not really relative, but but that is still an
(38:38):
outrage that Pierce Morgan got in. I mean, he's he's
not even on CNN anymore, you know, I mean it's
people would be like, who's that British story? But June
two fifteen, you were the one person who didn't ask.
Everyone kind of shot an email. Can you know, I'm
sort of glad. I don't. I can't. You don't even
(38:58):
ask for a cameo. Cooler now to me, you're even cool. Well,
I'm set up for the Entourage movie sequel for a character,
not even yes, a character that it would have been
an ARC back in the day. I think I think
at the very least, we should get the invite to
the premier. See that's what you've been angling on it. Well,
we're part of the team. We're part of Richards when
(39:21):
it's coming out, he's he's you're about three hundred ninety days.
Start to countdown. Rockman's on the clock right now, start
to countdown. We're a hundred days to the kickoff of
the season, and you can never be too prepared. You
know who's been angling for a few years is DP
(39:43):
Dan Patrick. What do you mean by angling? This is
good stuff? What do you mean by angling? Call getting
on you when you're there. I had lost the bet
to him years ago on his show something about the
Knicks me blind Love saying they're going to make the playoffs.
And he was like, all right, if the nick don't
make the playoffs, you get me a cameo and the
Entree Show. This is three or four years ago, And
(40:04):
I said, you know, I can try. I'm not the boss. Unfortunately,
he's like, well, just just tell me you can. I said, okay, sure,
and sure enough, shockingly, the Knicks didn't make the playoffs.
And uh, I think him and Doug like hashed it
out on the phone and it just never happen. And
I think he goes out of his way to kind
of crush me. If my name comes up, he'll say
(40:26):
something disparaging all in the way that Dan Canton. Now,
I'm gonna be on Dan Show this coming Thursday. Can
I can I tell him you have a cameo? And
he I mean, well, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not
gonna lie. But if I tell him that I've heard
that that he was angling for a cameo that he
didn't get and I guarantee, he says, Jerry Ferrard doesn't
come through, he lost the bet, didn't guarantee. He takes
(40:48):
a shot at me if you say, but praise Connolly
because Connolly sent them some gifts to the man Cave
that I was trying to get, which I couldn't get
because Connolly had these gifts and now also only the
hero and I'm just like, see, listen, Jerry, you you
being an actor, uh in this town. You understand the
(41:09):
meaning of talent, right, and that there are certain people
who view themselves as talent. There are certain people who
are talent and have a little bit of an ego
and try not to act like they have one. That's
Dan Dan. Dan needs to be stroked a little bit. Okay,
Dan needs to be told every now and then that
(41:29):
he's He's Dan and and deserves that sort of cameo.
But Dan Dan, If Dan called up and lobbied, it
wasn't so much a lobby. It was like I made
as like to use I guess an NBA. That would
be like a flagrant two. You know, it's not a
flagrant one. Yeah, it's not a flagrant one. It's not
a flagrant one to lobby for a cameo. It is
(41:53):
a flagrant to not Dan, You're not You're just a
cog in the wheel machine, an important one without without
whom there is no film. Well, I have a lifelong uh,
I guess bashing anytime I call in, he'll always Yet, like,
he goes, how do I handle this? Are we going
to the mattresses against Dan on this? Now? I don't
(42:14):
want I don't want to pick you guy. I mean that. No,
I don't want to be in there by the way,
by the way, by the way. It doesn't take much,
don't worry. I think they did a full breakdown of
the photo of the grill. Yeah, he accused me last
week because I told him. He asked me what I
was doing for Memorial Day weekend. I said, I was barbecuing. Now,
isn't that a Northeast That a Northeast term barbecuing, because
that's what I always grew up calling it. And he
(42:35):
made me no, he's he was it's called grilling. That's
what he said. It's grilling, okay, grilling, And I'm like, no,
it's barbecuing. And they said he started busting me on that,
and then he said that he thought he laughed. I'm like,
what's so funny? And he said, you probably have somebody
who grills for you, And I said, that is an
(42:56):
outrage that's an outrage, I said, I'm in the pool.
I get I said, I jump out of the pool
and I go grill. That's what I do. I go barbecue.
That's what I do. That's what I do every week.
And then he said, okay, so send a picture of
you jumping out with your speed oh and going on.
I'm like, no, no, this isn't out right. So I
took a picture. I was there. Law was there on
Sunday with Chris Brockman, and there I was. But the
I mean, I had it all work, and I had
(43:18):
the burgers, I had the hot dogs, I have the
corn and the cop all wrapped in uh in aluminum foil.
Because well, you didn't. You didn't ask. You one of
the people who don't ask. Yes, of course, any time
I have too many kids, you want to be around.
It's such a show, as these guys have seen firsthand.
(43:39):
I was riding one of those little is. But yeah,
so Dan and I have been going back and forth
on that. All right, Well, I can handle listen and
I'm I'm a huge fan of the show and everyone else.
I think I think Ellen even knows that too. But
if it is, it, it is. I was how was
Brady good. I wasn't there. I wasn't there that day.
(44:00):
But I mean, the nicest guy in the world, like
he has been. He has been good to us over
the years for no reason other than just him and
dog or buddies. And he likes to show and never
asked for anything. Just even though I don't know, even
though his and your Giants have denied him his last
two rounds, Doug's loyalty to his team might be up
for grabs. I don't know. Wait a minute, I'm just kidding. No,
(44:22):
no dogs are true Giants fan. I just wonder if
it was the Giants Patriots again. I just wan't happen
the third time. No, but I wondered, deep down inside
if he would kind of be going, go Tom. Really,
I don't know, I don't know a lot of guys.
Just you know, Brady is dreaming and having worked d
(44:43):
it was crazy to see that. You know, he couldn't
have been nicer and happier to be there and like
stayed around like sign things for crew members. It just
was it just was like, this isn't real. I know somebody,
many people obviously in the Boston area. He texted me
a picture of him. He showed up to a third
grade baseball game and brought Craft with him. I mean,
(45:08):
and they're like, hey, look who's Look who's here at
this third grade baseball game? You know? I mean I
think if I was six five with a good arm,
I'd be more like Tom Brady. Yeah, I'd like to
think that that's the kind of quarterback I would be
off the field. The funny thing is that Craft was
with him. You could see that it was a girl
who took the picture, so Kraft got cut out a
little bit. But you just saw you saw, you saw
(45:30):
the shock of white hair and then one arm of
a French cup button down. I'm like, that's Craft. It
was Craft. The shirt, white collar problem. The problem, Well,
Gronkowski might be his problem. You tell me the Gronk.
(45:50):
I want to hit you on this. Since um, you
know you're you're you're well versed in all things Gronk
and and and um. We were talking beforehand about Manzel
and how he's going about his business and how he
showed up in Vegas this week and instagramming a picture
of him with Gronk around all these it looked like
(46:10):
a scene from Entourage, is what it did, I think
you're world? Is that my character's house? Actually, I'm kidding
Las Vegas, you know, so exactly all sorts of manners
of film and TV. What do you make of this?
Because there are He's already tweeted out of picture of
(46:31):
him flying home with his iPad and his playbooks saying,
you know, I guess I couldn't relax and also do work.
So he's already feeling the criticism of that. Where do
you stand in this? Ang? I have mixed emotions about
this because to me, there is something that is very
important about being young and kind of getting those experiences.
You know, it is a whole different world because I
(46:51):
think that stuff that has been going on forever, but
now with Instagram and all this, it's no longer private.
I don't love. But it's not like somebody took the
picture of him. He's there posing it and posting it.
But I still ask me, I don't love the social
media aspect of letting everybody know what you're doing when
you're doing I don't think he did anything wrong. I
think that's what he should be doing, and that should
(47:11):
maybe be like his last kind of trip until he
gets into his professional life, and that's what it should
only be about. So it was his last fan dango,
and you think that's what you really think, that he's
got one last fan dango in him, or that's just
the way he's going to go about his business going
on in Cleveland. How do you know? I've been to Cleveland?
Some of you, yeah, I know, But you can't find
(47:33):
anything anyhow. I mean, do we see anything wrong with
going to Memorial But I went to Memorial Day. I
went to Vegas Memorial Through. That's a true story. And now,
granted there was no Instagram when I went, but you
better believe I would have instagramed some photos when I
ran into like P Diddy in a cabana. But you
(47:55):
were you the face of a business that's depending upon you,
and I wasn't the face it I was. I was involved.
I was one of the faces in the business. I
just you know, the NFL is a way of cutting
everyone down to size, whether it's in between the lines
in a four quarter game on a Sunday or this
(48:17):
sort of stuff. And I'm just wondering if he needs to.
And that's the debate that's going on right now, is
should the Browns just let Johnny be Johnny and say
this franchise needs to bet on bet on him and
and hope that the white ball doesn't wind up on
(48:37):
the green double zeros, you know, and spin a wheel
and see how it goes. Or it's like, this is
the NFL, this is the way it has done it,
and you need to stop with the instagrams and you
need to come here, come Instagram. Well, this is also
a profession where a coach once called it my face,
(48:59):
right it is. That's what Belichick called it my face,
and very recently he said that you don't get off
to my face. But that's again, that's what that's the
business that he has chosen. This is the corporate structure
that he's entering into here. And you and I both
know if the Browns, when I'm not saying this is
what they're gonna do, but if the Browns go eleven
and five and make the playoffs, no one's really gonna care.
(49:22):
Just as a matter of fact, you might see Patton
with with him and Grant next year. All this is
gonna do is just put a little more of a
microscope on him. And it doesn't seem like that has
really bothered him. When he played you know, A and M.
He played pretty damn well for a guy who's living
his life that way. So yes, he's going to be
the most scrutinized player, or at least young player, or
if not any player. But if the Browns go ten
(49:44):
and six, eleven and five and make the playoffs, no
one's gonna care. If they go five and eleven and
he throws twenty five interceptions, it's going to be open season.
So if you're willing to deal with that, then by
all means, go to Vegas on Memorial Day. If you're
willing to deal with the price of getting crushed. Now,
I want to be on record again here with YouTube
knuckleheads the way, and here's what I want to say.
(50:08):
I want to go on record with everybody that's listening
to who might accuse me of this whole get off
my law and mentality like the eighty year old screaming
at the kids playing uh and in places that they shouldn't.
I love this, okay, I love I love this guy.
I love what he he's bringing. It's my job to
talk about this every single day of the year. And
(50:30):
here we are on Memorial Day, weekend week and I
don't think you know, clearly, I understand we got conference
finals in the NBA and the NHL going on. I
get it. Baseball is always, you know, I mean the
Dodgers damn near hit you know, through back to back
no hitters. I get it. But this story is just
as talked about, and he is going to have some
(50:53):
more O t A s coming up. I'm the next month.
I mean, most teams are working this week started today,
right on Tuesday, and then there's six more that star Wednesday.
It's fantastic. I mean, this is I so I love it,
and I'm not talking about it just to stir the pot.
It is truly going to be something to be discussed
between now when training camp its and and is he
(51:16):
gonna is he just Johnny gonna be Johnny? And I agree,
you gotta let that guy do what he does. And
also might I add, when you are twenty one, you
do have it in you to go have some fun
over a long weekend and then clean it back up
and be at work on Tuesday. I don't have the
energy now for it. At thirty four. If you have
(51:36):
to me to do that, I could not show up. Word,
oh my god. But have I kind of now, I'm
not trying to compare myself to what that kid is
going through, because he's going through something that I don't
think anyone else on the planet could relate to right now.
But at one I think it's completely realistic to go
have a great time in Vegas Memorial Day and be
at work on Tuesday. So then, so you think Brock
(51:59):
when you think the un should give him first team reps,
no question, yes, No more Hoyer, no more thick Pen.
Those guys are done. It's Johnny's era. I get the
Horrier thing thing, but Horrier's legit. Holwyer's legit based on
what three games last year. Look, every Lombardi loved Torrier. Yeah,
what's Lombardi doing right now? Legit? I think was also
(52:21):
a great movie with Jason Robards back in the seventies.
Legit was was I think Sidney Lumett was the director
of Horriors. Has just been said on this podcast that's
a hashtag if I've ever heard. I think I've been
spouting off about Men's l since last October, when I
thought he should have been the number one overall pick, Like,
let's turn this guy loose, but turn him loose, let
(52:43):
him go and just say you're the first year. We're
putting all our eggs in your basket, cruising a few
good men. You turn these guys loose, let him rock
and roll. Man, what has he done wrong to this point?
And as an NFL player, what has he done wrong?
But Jerry's j thank you, He's done. I'm not saying
he's done anything wrong. I'm just saying that any thought
(53:04):
that you would see Johnny Manzel show up with a
briefcase to work and be the corporate you know, quarterback
to Las Vegas, Hey, text me a photo real quick
in my playbook. I am not going to participate in
any of this. I think that how much this because
(53:25):
two weeks ago we see a number of quarterbacks at
the Preakness and at Kentucky Derby. Let's listen. It's optics.
It's an optics world that we live in. It's an
optics world. It's a game of pr it is a
game of certainly when you have an ability to have
your whereabouts and doings broadcast internationally with the click of
(53:48):
a button. This world is all about optics. And if
you care about optics and become a rookie quarterback trying
to win a job. In the end, fl you are
not going to be seen with of all people, Rob Gronkowski,
and of all cities, Las Vegas, Nevada. I mean, those
(54:08):
are the two things if you could come up with
for Johnny Manziel to broadcast that I Am going to
be myself within weeks of being drafted, those were the
two things you could come up with. Let me ask
you a question as far as Gronkowski goes, what I mean,
his partying lifestyle, as you may say he has that
effect is on the field place that will cause his injuries. No,
(54:31):
and I'm not saying but he's not a face of
the franchise. No, he is not the face of the
franchise and a franchise that has been in the pits.
But he's still the second most popular player on that
team because he fits the mold of being the grain breaker, right,
he fits the mold of going against the grain. It's Belichick,
(54:52):
it's Brady, it's Craft. That is the incorporation. And then
he'd pats inc and here he comes the guns. Every
family that is straight laced always has that crazy uncle,
the crazy cousin, the crazy brother, that's okay, and we
all love that character. He's the knucklehead. He's the guy
(55:14):
who goes to London and talks about the nutcracker guys
that guard Buckingham Palace and then he and then he
does that idiotic beef eating sort of sidestep robot thing
when he scores in Wembley and her freaking knugglehead. But
(55:36):
they are not depending on him to lead the franchise.
They're depending on him to catch touchdowns. They are. That's
a different stuff to all I'm saying is apples and orange.
There's a lot of quarterbacks the back of the day
had party mental. I mean, look at Brett or Jim
Kelly or pen roethlist Well, didn't we ask Nameth if
(56:02):
Twitter was around with the bear Bryant Alabama? He said,
I get all of that, but it's like I said,
in optics world. And if he doesn't care that people
are talking about him, clearly he hears it. If he's
tweeting on a picture of I guess I couldn't go
and hang out and have fun and do my job.
Don't you think that's just him kind of flipping the
(56:23):
bird to everything. White guys that sat from pick one
through twenty two for three and a half hours, and
when he comes out for his moment, still having in
him to make the money, say he's the best, the best.
I love him. He hasn't even taken a snap yet.
I'm drafting him first in my fantasy. There's no doubt
(56:45):
the first overall pick. Forest Lobby. I'm lobbying. I'm lobbying. Yeah,
that's that's the discussion right now. And so you stand.
Do you think you think Petton should give him first
team snaps? Absolutely? Absolutely? What it's the Brown no offense.
(57:07):
I'm not trying to insult the city of Cleveland, but
it's it's the Cleveland Browns. Like what it's not like
everything they've been doing so far has been working. Try
at the Man's l Way five thousand season tickets. In
a week after you got drafted, by the way, I was,
I started tweeting uh about when the when the Calves
got the first pick. I was like, Wow, Manzell and
(57:28):
this over, I'm moving to Cleveland. I got a lot
of love, a lot of Manzel retweet you. He did,
by the way, Yes, Johnny Manzel follows me, and that's
easily one of the greatest moments. He literally retweeted and
now I was trending in Ohio. So can you can
you direct message him to have a cameo on this podcast?
Could you d M him? I'm lobbying for that right now.
(57:49):
He's turning, he's turning down all interview requests right now,
every last mon I I can't. I can't protective of Johnny.
I'm very protective. By the way, we've never I've never spoken.
We tweeted at each other twice. Yeah, but all these guys,
but all that you have, the with your life and
the and and in your personality and what you know,
(58:10):
what you've done in your career. People must approach you
that they like they know you already. They must come
up to you and say that they must think they
already know you and who you are. They must come
up to you. Manzel is probably one of those guys.
What it is, But yeah, I apparently have come shake
my hand, put your arm around me, and demand we
take a photo of face. That's your thing. As I'm like,
(58:32):
come on, you take we gotta take a picture. Come on,
I'm like, okay, yeah, sure, let's uh, let's do it.
Let's do at home. I am smiling. My favorite moment
of that was Seinfeld did I tell this story on
the show when he was at when he came on
our show at the Super Bowl and and the way
it all went down was just crazy. We were trying
to book him for years and and and then it
(58:56):
came down to yes because he was in New York.
Super Bowl was in New York. He was just a
few blocks away, and he wanted to promote his uh
comedians and cars getting coffee and I guess preview the
fact that he was going to be on a Seinfeld
related spot, So he's putting. He was pre He was
sort of like, um, he was front Yes, he's dropping breadcomps.
He was. He was. He was front loading his appearance.
(59:18):
Long story short is for him to do it, though,
we had to um set up the studio in quotes
in the hotel that we were in and he had
to wait about forty five minutes. If he would do that,
he said he would, And he's chilled in a green room.
He was conducting business, doing stuff. Couldn't have been cooler,
and somebody walked up to him. Because the network hires
(59:39):
about eight thousand people to do the Super Bowl broadcast.
Somebody walked up to him and said, would you mind
if we took a picture? And his response was, yes,
I do, but let's do it anyway. So good because
I think that was the most truthful response. Yes, I
do mind if we take a picture, but let's do
(01:00:00):
it anyway. This is what he said. And I just
don't know if I would have the cajol with somebody
who has I've heard a similar one, uh, with the
whole like, I don't mean to interrupt, and then the
person was like, no, but you will, but you are
going yes, because you will, but you're absolutely going to interrupt,
So go ahead. You already did. That's only son felt
(01:00:21):
could do that. Who would you interrupt? Who would you know?
I would never interrupt anybody, but who would you go on?
But who would you go up to? By the way,
when they're not being when they're when they're just chilling out.
If you saw somebody just chilling out by them, solore,
I'd want to meet them and interrupt. The more respect
I had for whatever it is they've done in their career,
the less I would actually go up to them. Really, yeah,
(01:00:42):
I don't have it in me to do it. And
it has not, even since I was younger. You know,
I had chances to like, oh that's done, that aingly
is at the store, go Salem, and no, I can't
do it. I just never wanted I had my man
only moment though I had it. I had it. I'm cool.
We've all had them. Thank God. I thought it was
pretty You guys saw the story. I'm sure that came
out with Bill Murray where he's chilling at a restaurant
(01:01:04):
in Charleston and there's a bachelor party downstairs prompt bachelor.
One of the guys comes up and goes, hey, Mr Murray, Sorry,
sorry to bother you, but we have a bachelor downstairs.
Can you come and just say a few words. He's like, no,
thank you, I'm good, and the guy goes back down
to the room. Two minutes later, Murray just walks into
the room and goes and gives a two and a
half minute bachelor speech, and it's awesome. That's different because
(01:01:26):
that's not even gonna be like, oh we met Bill Murray.
That's gonna be remember at your bachelor party. When that's
gonna make that made the I don't care what strip
club they went to afterwards. That was the best matter
what happened. I don't know, though, I will if I
see somebody that, if I really admire their work or
I'm a big fan of Bears. Yeah, Like I went
(01:01:46):
up to him. He was just sitting there at the airport.
He had no idea who I was, and I just
went up and totally fan boyd him, and um, give
way too nervous. I mean, I would do that all
the time. I honestly don't care, really have that in
me as well. But if they're eating or there on
the phone or whatever, I would never do that. Never. Never.
But if they're just like Vince Gilligan just sitting there.
Another another moment um Um. When I was living on
(01:02:09):
the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I had a spot
when I was on Sports Center so I could escape
Central Connecticut. No offense to the good people in the
Nutmegs state right there in the middle. But um, I'm
I'm I went running in the park and I'm walking
back to my spot and coming down the street on
an eighty five degree day in a double breasted blue
(01:02:29):
blazer and a crisp button down shirt pushing his two
infant children. Was Tony Randall and I'm an Odd Couple fanatic.
I mean, it has, it has been part of my
DNA for years. That's a good guess. He's walking towards
me and I'm absolutely drenched in sweat, and no, this
(01:02:49):
is the last thing he probably wants. Two little kids.
But I just I stopped. I stopped him. I stopped
writing front and I just said, you know, this was
it was instantaneous. I saw him ten seconds away. I'm like,
oh my god, that's Tony Randall. Boom. I went right
for it. And I just said, you know, Mr Randall,
(01:03:10):
I'm a huge fan of the Odd Couple. You know
it has been part of a formative from my sense
of humor and my and my uh my television viewing.
And you are a genius. And I just wanted to
say that to you. And he kept pushing his children
and said why thank you, and then he turned around
he goes, but I would think you would congratulate me
on my children, and kept walking forward as I'm standing there,
(01:03:33):
dripping and sweat, and I'm like, I couldn't have scripted that.
That was everything you could have wanted. I don't know
what else you could have asked for out of that
exchange which there was this was this was yeah, the
selfies sort of didn't exist. This was like two thousand
two maybe, but I mean like that was like that
was Felix Younger correcting me on how to compliment him.
(01:03:56):
She kind of flipped the script on it. Fantastic youtuo. Guys,
who's the person that's come up to you that you
thought they may not know who you are and like
asks to meet you or talk to you. Somebody that's
kind of famous and it's like, wow, I can't believe
this person just came up to me. I have a few,
but the one that stands out the most was Sir
Ben Kingsley dude, and he was actually at an Entourage Premierre.
(01:04:21):
I think it was the final one, so and everyone
was kind of buzzing, like wow, who knew Sir Ben
was an Entourage fan. Literally comes up to me, grabs me,
and I had a drink in my hand, and I
think one of the HBO photographers like and how I
wanted to take a picture. So I'm like I'm trying
to hide my drink. He grabs my drink, He's like
hold it up proud. I'm like okay. And then afterwards
He's like, you know, I never saw the show until tonight.
(01:04:43):
They showed two episodes up here. These are the first
two episodes I've ever seen. You did a damn good job.
I was like, God, that's all I needed. Here. The
first episodes you ever saw were episodes one and two
of season eight, and said I did a damn good job.
And Gandhi came up knocked your drink over. I mean
in the pick, sure I am. I even having on
my phone my smile. I don't think I've ever smiled
like that in my life. I'm like, that's fantastic. But athletes,
(01:05:08):
for whatever reason, um, I've had the whether they've been
on the show, I've just happened to run into them somewhere.
Athletes have loved Entourage over the year, in credible more
so than actors. You would think maybe young actors up
and coming would relate to it more. Why because you
think it's their lives that are on display. In a way,
I think they relate to the sense of, you know,
being thrust into a very spotlight position at a young age,
(01:05:32):
and being hit with money and all these you know,
potential trappings. They relate to the fact that what Entourage
did with do it with your best friends, Like not
the kind of best friends and mc hammer had, but
the ones that you could actually well. I mean, that's
the discussion about players wanting to stay true to who
they are and sometimes to their detriment um, so that
must mirror their real life experience in so many ways.
(01:05:54):
I mean, yeah, to run into Kevin Durant on the
street and like he made the first move because I've
me sticking to my guns of like I'm not going
up there even if even though I respect him, he
kind of made the move and gave me a shake
and it was just the cool like the coolest thing.
Also follows me on Twitter, Yes, sir, he had a
(01:06:15):
great tweet when we announced that the Entourage movie was happening.
I actually just I guess got the news first and
released it on Twitter before anyone, and then Kevin Durrant
was one of the first retweets and then commented and said, Uh,
this just made my whole year. I don't think you
knew it was gonna win MVP yet at this point
is in the movie uh no scheduling, uh scheduling conflict
(01:06:41):
stray hands in it? Right? Um, I don't know if
stray Hand was on the show. I don't know if
he was in the movie. No, but I met That
was another one who. I was at the Knicks game
recently over Christmas and sitting there with my brother watching.
The security guard taps me on the shoulder and says,
come with me. I'm like, what, I'm going out? The
(01:07:02):
next game is great? May or may not have been
sitting next to Doland that night. Yes, I was sitting
next to Mr Dolan and we talked about the team
and his uh lady friend of do you pump the
brakes there? Because you can't be honest with him? Right?
It was. It was a little difficult because the things
I like to shout are typical fan things and I
(01:07:23):
did have to hold back. Let's just say, but the
security guard I ever sat next to Jim Dolan, Oh
my god, it was it was next that would be
it would be like a it would be like a
Castanza father moment. What the hell's your trade? And I
got to call my brother out for a second. My brother,
(01:07:45):
him and I are completely opposite. I am obviously a
sports freak. My brother doesn't know the first thing about sports, like,
couldn't name one New York kidding, but yet if you
got in your car and he could like start it
and be like, oh, you're timing belt this lightly off,
like that's his word. I can't even change a flat tire.
So that's where we're So I bring him to his
first Knicks game ever. Was sitting next to Done and
(01:08:05):
like fans are yelling stuff at Done. They cut to
him almost on the jumbo tron, booing my brother is
literally on the side wing Who the hell is this guy?
I'm trying to give to him in the backstory quietly
like that's often Oh god. So anyway, the security got
tasted me on the shoulder and says, come with me. Okay,
(01:08:26):
maybe I said something to offend Mr Dolan and I
got the boot. This would be a great story. Now
we're walking through the guts of MSG, going under and over.
I've never seen these parts of the garden and I'm like,
do you mind? Uh? Where are we going? He's like, oh, um,
one of the Yankees is in the suite and would
love would love to meet you. He's with his kids,
and his kids are fans of the show, would love
(01:08:47):
to meet you. I'm like, okay, who and the guy
just doesn't say a word. So now I'm walking into
this suite wondering which Yankee better not Andy Stank Is
this gonna be It's gonna be Alvaro Espinosa best bunker
of all time? Walk into this. I'll give you I'll
give you three guesses, and it's someone that you'd want
(01:09:07):
to meet, That's all I'd say. But three guesses do
you want to guess? So it's not Rivera, I mean,
because this was the way that we started the story.
So the three started with forget about that. That's a
blown save right there. But yeah, so kids come out first.
So I still don't know who it is at this point,
but I see all these young anywhere from like ten
years old to eighteen. I'm shaking all these kids hands
(01:09:27):
and I'm still wondering who who is that? I I
don't know. And out from like where his seats were
out there comes to sand Oh and I walked over
and it was I mean, I started sweating. If you
look at the picture, there's like sweat stains that happened
within the last two minutes. And he just said, I
(01:09:48):
loved your show, watched it from the beginning. Uh, you
guys do great work, nicest guy in the world. And
I was floating when I walked out. And I get
to walk back to my brother and I'm like, do
you know who I just met? You're not even gonna
I don't even know who that is. And he was like,
I'm like, marianno very He's like, no a lot. Did
you at least turn to Dolin? Dolin would know I did.
(01:10:08):
I did say I didn't, and he didn't look too impressed.
Oh my lord. So uh in in in retrospect and
closing as well, was it a great as great experience
as you you imagined it would be in the years
leading up to maybe it happening, and it finally went
down really and more. Yeah, it's just you know, a
(01:10:32):
lot happened in between the show ending in the movie
actually happening. And I think it was the perfect time
because any sooner would have been too soon, And I
think if you waited any longer, it would have been
too long. Actually, think could happened right in the window
of time it should have happened. That's so we'll see.
Now people just have to go see it. Well, I mean,
come on, the build up is going to be humongous
there's a lot of humongous there's a lot of hype.
(01:10:54):
I know, a lot of haters too, though, you know
there's gonna be a lot of haters. I trust me.
I know whenever anybody talk about something that's that's our
that's our country, it's torn down. People build things up
just to tear them down, just like Johnny Manziel, right,
just like Johnny Manzel. And it's all so you could
say the Entourage movie and Johnny Manzel has some similaralles.
You like the party in with groncin Vegas. What do
(01:11:15):
you What do you think of the Giants draft? You
want to comment on that at all? You want to
hit a hit it up? Like it? I mean I
did like it. It was very much a giant draft.
You know, they're all captains, every last one of them.
And what is it Grimble? You got, you got del
you got Odell Beckham, Weston Richberg, A center, Jay Bromley,
(01:11:42):
defensive tackle Andre Williams, who is his nickname is Edgar
because he's a poet and he writes a book and
he's he's wait, he's wait, let's put it this way.
He's way too smart. Finalist Yeah, um and uh what
Nate Bear Strong, Safety Devon Knard and of USC and
(01:12:04):
then Bennett Jackson. Don't trust anyone named Bennett. Let's talk
about the undrafted signing of the tight end from USC.
That's who I think everybody needs to look. I must
have missed that in the last ten days. Who was that?
Xavier Grimble? Okay, you know you guys, watch out, you
guys watching nip on his shoulder. Next Bear Pasca's going
to take the giant story. Yes, I'm gonna go with
(01:12:27):
the Giant. Yes, who did that? Picked giants? It wasn't
very good. Hey, I want one for two. That's not
that bad. That would get you in the Baseball Hall
of Fame. That's about it. Well, this is good, man, Um,
so I think like a man too. Coming out next month.
File that all the way of question. Thet you're doing
that ro Gaddy is still happening. I'm still training. I'm
(01:12:50):
actually probably gonna go over to wild Card and get
beat up right after, right after this, right after these messages,
Red Roach with my man Freddie Roach. Yes, sir, that's
pretty cool, fantastic so yes, but still hammering out the
Gaddy script to perfection, or at least as good as
we can do, and more people are eating at fat
cells than ever before before. Congratulations on that. Good for you.
(01:13:13):
I didn't see that coming. Good for you. Thanks for
coming in anytime. You know, I love that. Jerry Ferrara
here on the Rich Eyes and Podcast, where I guess
I I've learned today. I need to I need to,
I need to ask. I'm gonna ask again that we
can go to the premier next. But how about Dan
Patrick in cameo in every atom send every single He's
(01:13:33):
that's not enough and it's not enough. DP has done
more movies than I have, always telling that your I
AMDB list is longer than mine. It's not enough for him.
How many yachts can he water skip on Walster? Greed's good, baby,
Greek is good. I don't know at Jerry c Ferrara
on have you gotten how come you can't get rid
at sea? Who's Jerry Ferrara? There's a Jerry Ferrara out there.
(01:13:54):
We can't get somebody. We can't find somebody. Dick on
the podcast. You know we should be able to make this.
You say it's last name, please, Well, I wasn't sure
how to pronounce it. This is amazing that there's certain
names first names you must say the last name with it,
(01:14:15):
and that's one of them. I gotta be honest with you.
The guy who owns at Jerry Ferrara, how what he
got thirty followers that's tweeted. He has eighties six followers,
but he's not following anyone and he's never tweeted. And
his he's got the egg as his avatar and him
but his his display name is Jeremy Pivet like Squatton,
(01:14:39):
So he's just confusing. He's squat. He might be straight
looking for him like, yeah, he's looking for a buyout, geting.
But you can flip him up, throw some sandwiches if
he lives in the area. But you cannot we listen.
You're a man of your standing. You hate it's not
that I know I it's not I I'm about there's
(01:14:59):
no under score. I'm about it. You know I'm about branding.
And you're you're Jerry ferr You're you're not known as
Jerry c from It's not like Michael McGinley. Okay, you
know that's not what it's not. That's not what we're doing.
So I got caught up in the sea because there
are a lot of prominent seeds. They could see something.
George C. Scott I mean so, I mean, but that's
(01:15:20):
who's known, So he wouldn't I if Twitter was around
back in the seventies, he wouldn't have been on it.
But if he was, he wouldn't have been at George Scott.
He'd be at George C. Scott. So I see you
s E E U, and I see Jerry C. Ferrara
and does what doesn't bother? Yes? How many times people
tweeted this this egg avatar knucklehead and meaning it's for you.
(01:15:44):
So you're saying to reach out and buy him out.
I think you just reach out. I think you have
your people contact Twitter. And they got rid of they
got rid of his hashtag. He was Chris underscore Brockman. Yeah,
it got rid of his underscore. I'm like, he can't
be underscore. You're at Chris Brockman. It's brand. You got
a brand, a brand. When Schefter started on Twitter, he
(01:16:05):
was here when he started on Twitter, he was still
here at this network, and he was at I think
Chef's Specialty or something like that, because that was his
that was his column name. When we were in school
together at Michigan. Mine was Get Rich Quick, and I
told him I'm not going to be at Get Rich Quick.
You know, I'm at Rich Eyes and we're branding here,
we're branding, We're branding. What is the C stand for
(01:16:27):
Charles middle name. It's a great name. I'm not there's
no problem. Or here's the flip side. I could just
change my acting name to Jerry C. Ferrara. That's a
little too much. Yeah, I'm just but I'm hanging out.
I'm not going. I'm not gonna what is the I
don't understanding effort? Alright, So at Jerry C. Ferrara on
(01:16:54):

Rich Sea Eisen Podcast. Alright, moving along with more friends
(01:17:17):
of the program. You can download their latest special on Netflix,
The Scarbroughs What Are We Talking About? They're also appearing
in Chicago, Illinois, this very weekend at the Up Comedy Club.
The twenty nine through the thirty one. It's part of
the Second City Complex, don't you know they're in the
Windy City. And then of course they're podcast the ever
(01:17:38):
populist Scar Broke Country Podcast on the Earwolf label. You
can also follow them on Twitter at Sklar Brothers, not
at sclar C Brothers. They're at Scar Brothers because they
know about branding the first openly identical twin. You were
(01:17:59):
fantastic special, Rich see Randy and Jason see you and
you did. You provided such a great pregame, halftime and
post game shows. I am on your special. You were
so good man. We were like, just play it real,
played it real, you really float. I mean all the
people there were like, you did a huge latch. You
get like five or six huge lass. Well, we shot
(01:18:20):
it in the NFL Network studios in between the super
Bowl and the Combine back in February, and on them
the host of the pre half and post game to
stand up special, it was like if you could break
down comedy as if it were an NFL game a
little bit. I know it might be the last pre
and post and halftime of anything that I do around
(01:18:40):
NFL Network. Who knew that, but the at Squar Brothers.
Twitter handle is also a place where you can hang
out with these guys and that was a lot of
fun with Freeny, Dwight Freene. The analysts were Freeny, Tchel Thomas,
and Omar Dorsey, who was a great actor. He's not
(01:19:01):
he was on eas Bounded Down. He gets sort of
the bombastic guy on the Camerino talk show and then
he's on Rake. He's just a great thing and the
lovely and talented Bonnie Burn sideline reporter gives a turn
at the end that you have to see. I don't
want to give anything away, but the way that you
um uh chironed me my my title, it's my favorite thing.
(01:19:21):
It gets a huge laugh every time. Don't give it away.
I'm not but I've never been labeled that. I mean
I have probably you know, behind my back, but yeah,
every time gets a huge last I know. So it's
like you're a part of it that you trys to
come up with that idea to do a PrePost that
that's a great question. Uh you know, I mean we
(01:19:42):
kind of there's a huge sports sports fans, there's some
sports comedy throughout and I were trying to think about this.
I think it actually had its roots in Woody Allen's Bananas,
which is a phenomenal movie. But there if you remember
that movie, at the end, Louise Lasser and Woody Allen
are in bed making love and ABC wide Will the
Sports is covering it does the post quital love interview
(01:20:05):
that was just the movie started with, starting with them
the President and that Banana country and they call the
president shot and walks up to him on the steps
where he's been shoting goes, President, day, you've been shot,
and you've been shot your basically like your thoughts, thoughts human,
(01:20:26):
I mean, that was a favorite. Like there are fans
at the at the consummation of the marriage and he's like,
if it's humily possible, I'm gonna try and get through this.
I get come smellash bobbing up and down the aisleand
vestal white. So that we kind of were like, well,
that is the perfect execution and application of something in
(01:20:46):
sports being brought to something different, and we thought we
know how to do this. We've watched a ton of
this stuff being done. It has to be done the
right way to get the guys, because if there would
be people that would do it with on not the NFL.
That a set on sort of a made upset with
other people who could approximate what's going on, but we
were like, we want this to be as real as possible.
(01:21:07):
And that's when we you know, we we played upon
our relationship with Rich. It was great and it was fun.
And I think when you guys talked about that, I
mentioned to you also, Chris Elliott, do you remember the
commuting Chris? I know what you guys would, But sometimes
whenever I mentioned anything from the eighties, I gotta look
at these guys start there and work back back to
(01:21:30):
man on the stairs. And he had a comedy special
on Cinemax years ago, and half of it was the
first half was a mock um sitcom slash mock um
Quinn Martin production type detective show where he would send
up the sitcom with a live studio audience and send
(01:21:51):
up the detective show shot on film when he was
the detective that would then come home after fighting crime
and be part of a family called Action Family is
what the first half of it was. And in the
second half, as he played FDR in a one man
play and they got a theater in upstate New York
where he was doing the one man play, and it
(01:22:11):
was like, what your specialists, what your special is is?
You know this this mock pre half and post that's
wrapped around the special. Marv Albert did the did the
introduction like as if it was a pregame in a
post game too, and it was very funny. And then
Chrisseli comes out as as as f d R. It starts,
(01:22:34):
it starts. Have you guys ever seen this? It starts.
It starts out with an old time radio on the stage,
you know, playing how the uh You've got nothing to
fear but fear itself? And then something else from the
f DR collection, and then suddenly I have the Tiger
and it comes rolling out as FDR with the cigarette
(01:22:57):
and the crowd doing sort of like the des Brian exsembol,
just like thumping. That's the way that started. Because and
that's why I love you guys too, is I love
your comedy. I'm a big fan of what you guys
do and fan of comedy in general. And so when
you guys asked me that was that's all good. It's
on Netflix right now and it kind of lives for
It's one of these things that we're talking about this
(01:23:19):
Chris Elliott thing that happened years ago. I mean, this
will live forever. This will live forever, and we wanted
to do something that was memorable enough that it would
maybe stand out in the way we were talking about
like being I watched it again with you because I
haven't seen it since for a while, since we're editing it.
And if you don't watch it for a while and
then you just read the negative hater comments that happened
(01:23:40):
that people throw out there, it's terrible. But sometimes you
lose your perspective and you start to read it comment
you're like, you, guys, did suck. Maybe I was like,
maybe Randy and I should go further and than die. Yeah,
but anything, look where we should take your every construct
every criticism constructive. It's constructive like that, I'll take you
need to look at that now. But then we watch
(01:24:02):
it again, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is really fun,
really fun. It came out the way we wanted it to. Yeah,
it's what it's the way you wanted to to to be,
to represent where we are right now. And then of
course we now have to go down the road. We're
going to Chicago. This weekend, and we were in Chicago
last year at this time, and we have to give
them new material because we've got fans are going to
be coming out from last year. We can't give the
exact same set of comedy. We have a bunch of
(01:24:24):
new materials from now. We're on that right to get
too much into the technical side show like releasing this
on Netflix straight and bypassing DVDs, and how how is
that different for you guys from just approaching that side
of it. I think, well, first of all, Netflix is
like an amazing place to be right now because they're
doing so many great shows and like we say, we're
the shows on Netflix, and people are like, wow, that's
it's almost holds the weight of like an HBO from
(01:24:47):
like a question about it. People are really excited that
it's Cards, Arrested, Development, Oranges and New Black and all
the great comedy specials right now. Well, I mean you
have to admit that that is what they told me
off Off Mike, is that you pitched it to Netflix
about a women prison show. That's right, and we wanted
and switched them with your carmody, and we wanted our
(01:25:08):
thing to be called Jews are the New Blacks and
that just didn't fly in different directions, right, So they
went ahead and they made that, and they made that
and then we said, you will give you that one.
Just give us a special We don't even want a
piece of that, just let us do that way. That's
the way it happens. You know, we're one of the
only groups that are comedians that would say we don't
want a piece of that, just go ahead and do it.
(01:25:29):
We need to have that one. We're going to write
a book called we don't want a piece to go
and be Look, you guys made be successful away. If
we don't need we just need to know that we
gave it to you. It's like anytime we've ever done
anything in this industry, Like we went with agents because
they were really nice to us, and then they went
to a smaller place and went anytime we've been loyal
or done anything right in this industry, it's come back
to by us in the aside. The way it goes
(01:25:51):
is the way it goes. All Right, question about this,
we uh, so we're promoting this thing, and I want
to get your your guy's opinion about this, but I
think you would I really want to get your opinion
about this. So Hustler Magazine wants to do in a
great way to start it right. Plus all right magazine
wants to do. Uh still exists. Still that magazine still exists,
Still exists, right on sunset night, next the jugs, Uh
(01:26:14):
and so Hussa wants to do a piece about our
specially and about h and J is a fantastic bagel
place day bagels. Bagels in this hand make them and
they make Combuch what am I doing? Although law is
(01:26:34):
the one we had sagged in here last month? You
had to brieve in from the second he walked in
the room, I mean burs interview with Bob Sagon. But
but he bleeped out some of the some of the
scatological references to the male anatomy he kept in and
some he didn't. And we and fans were wondering, what
the what what you decided to be the way in
(01:26:56):
which the anatomy is mentioned makes the difference as to
whether or not sometimes it needs love. This guy is
the arbiter of it. It doesn't look like should be
the arbiter of the rules of the Beer League. There
just the can't go in the outfield right, So right,
So Hustle wants with us, and they were like and
(01:27:17):
so they're like, in the photo, there's gonna be nudity,
and so we had to go back and talk. You
gotta go to your wife with that. You So there's
the thought that like, once you take a photo or
it's anywhere, then it goes on the internet. Then what
if your kids, like in a couple of years or
like eight or nine, they're googling you and now they
see that. So we went back to Hustler. We're probably
the only dudes ever who were like, yes, we'll do
(01:27:38):
the thing, but with no nudity in the in the photo.
But if they had tels, well, so they said they'll
be lingerie and there there will be models and they'll
be wearing like underwear and lingreie and I just emailed back.
I was like, you know, all that's going to be
seen through sheer can be so now we don't do it.
But we were just the wives there were what we said, look,
(01:28:02):
anything that to help promote this thing. You know, we're
going to take take a bullet for the team and
get in a photo with some modest would look we
don't want to do it. I don't want I'm gonna
hate it, honey, I'm gonna hate it every second of it. No,
but we just said, look, you know, we fought this
battle like a very normal ray, Like we held up
like signs that were all about First Amendment. Right, he
(01:28:23):
really is all this battle for no nudity and Hustler magazine.
We won this landmark decision. You know. We're like, it's
a dread Scott case, one page at a time, you're
going to take that. We're taking a magazine back, taking
back the dignity. We're trying to I think, class up
if we can. We're making it about the articles and
I know that's Playboy, but why can't Hustler trade on that?
(01:28:45):
They do said they have a new comedy editor and
this stuff happens to be a fan of our stuff.
So we're like, all right, we can't say no to
anything your revolution. So has this taken place? So no,
we have. We just agreed to doing it with the models,
which they'll probably be in like nothing. But do you
get to choose the models? I don't think we have
a casting session. I think we just show hold on
(01:29:07):
a minute, hold on, Yeah, Why why don't we get
hold on a minute, which is like, do I get
to choose? Do you guys want to choose the mode?
By the way, By the way, you can farm the
job out to Mike Crisis. Chriss will take the Hillbilly
would have to run it up, So you might just
want Chris. Yeah, you do it so here because and
(01:29:29):
I'm just saying this again, this is the theme of
this show is branding. Yeah, okay, clearly an optics optics
and branding. Yeah, that's sort of like that Sesame Street.
This podcast has been brought to you by optics and branding,
and so you need to make sure that the people
you are seen with is standards. I mean, it's up
(01:29:54):
to the scar brand. This is. This is very relatively
can't just be you can't just show up and all
of a sudden, It's it's sort of like it's like
Johnny Manziel hanging out with Gronk in Vegas. What's he doing?
What's he doing? We had that full conversation, that conversation,
but I mean, like, what's he doing? The Gronk needs
to be hanging out with Ryan Lockty and Ryan Locktey
(01:30:15):
only and they need to do a buddy cop show. Gronty.
They can come in to become one human being and
they switch souls every week, and we don't know who's who.
Neither do they suddenly swimming Gronk is like slimming like
crazy and breaking his arm in a pool because he's
fist pompy and doing the crawl stroke. This is the
(01:30:39):
sort of stuff that he must be branded propertly. But
it was pretty great. Yes, so I mean that, but
it is gron This is what what I'm I'm giving
pause that you need to vet who we're who we're with.
Who with Hustler is putting next to you? They they
(01:31:00):
had better be some high class ladies, that is what
you're saying. Well, just on brand, on brand alone, they
should be you know what I mean? And they can't
be Bunny Ranch quality. Does does Hustler have any Jewish model?
That's a great that's a great question we'll have to get.
We were trying to think because it has been We're
trying to literally think, when was the last time we
were at a strip club? Now I don't know when
(01:31:21):
the last time you were at a strip club was,
but it's been well it's been years. So we're like Randy,
I were thinking, like have they for the verification of
this joke? I'm telling you right now. Last time was
in Austin in two thousands, So Austin, Texas to right
outside of Austin thing it's called the Yellow Rose. We
were there two thousand, that was the last time, and
(01:31:43):
we were doing comedy. There were stripping to an outfield song.
Probably that's how it wasn't and it wasn't a retro song.
Was like it was a current outfield song. So Randy
and I actually it was actually the outfield. They were
there playing falling, they were parking cars and they were
also playing doing a little bit. So so Randy and
(01:32:04):
I were thinking, like, I wonder if strip clubs have
like progressed. They definitely have had to get updating baby strollers,
Like every year there's a new model that our smartphones.
Like my question is if you probably don't need cash anymore,
Like every stripper has a square inter vagina that you
just swap it down there you go swipe it through,
(01:32:24):
swipe it through, swipe your credit if you like. The
Champagne room definitely has free wipe that right, if you
spend enough money, you can just like a better table
at open table that I wouldn't even I wouldn't even
want to know what the password protection is? Disease for
no protection. There's the password is the password is dead
(01:32:45):
eyes the blank stare, blank stare of the thousand miles stare.
I just it has to be updated, right, it has
to be So we got to figure that out. Well,
I don't I don't know. I wouldn't know. Nine. That's
still are you dude? When was the last time? When
(01:33:12):
was the last this county? The bachelor party? You're forced
to go this calendar weddings hit this year, sos coming
up this weekend, that no weddings this year? Thoughts, you
haven't been to a strip club. It's what you just
essentially said, he said, bachelor parties. You know, it's like
(01:33:33):
he in advance of the weddings, like you didn't go
to a wedding and use the occasion to attend. No,
come on, I have a soul here. But at what
point does it become like you trying to be friend
guys who are in long term relationships that look like
they're going to try to marriage just so you can
go to this. I'm not I'm not a sub guy.
(01:33:54):
I did see on a local news report lately from
the local news where something guess what happened in a
strip club? And then you know it's the it's the
person doing the stand up where something happened twelve hours ago.
So they were standing in front of the place, the
establishment that was called a gentleman's club. Now what that's
(01:34:17):
from a different era. When I go, when I got
to a strip club, I definitely wear the tails and
a top hat and a second ana monicaly, even though
I don't need it, Amnica. But let's be honest, all right.
We we both have girls, we have children, we have
once you have a baby daughter, you can't look at
a stripper without being like, at some point in your
(01:34:40):
life early on, your parents or the parent that was around,
was proud of you for taking your first steps. The
man who's going to be posing in hustler manage, Like
there was where there was sat on someone's lap and
it was adorable. Now it's just now it's commerce flat money.
(01:35:01):
I didn't get it. It's like attached to their strings.
It's so horrible. Zip it. Oh my god, I'm clearly
the only one that's been honest here today. I'm telling you,
I have not been. I have not. I think the
one there was like one or two batchelor parties that
(01:35:22):
we couldn't go to because we were performing at performing
while they were having We're older than you too, and
our friends are married. You know what I mean. I
think once you're like, if you're in the thirty range,
get ready. I also understand to bring this podcast full circle,
bring it around. I understand that I am the face
of a that's the thing that's right, and you're part
(01:35:44):
of a brand. I understand that where I go and
with whom I hang right is important, and it's my
job to stay away in this world of branding and
optics from places like that. How many just name how
many of these blogs that are out there, these sports blogs,
(01:36:10):
and they would I mean, how many of them? And
you would pay them, all of them, and you would
pay for your life. We were reading about Bryant McKinney.
He just got who was on the vikings, But then
I guess he got cut, just really got cover the
like he was just sued by two strip clubs for
not paying for not paying three hundred and seventy five
thousand dollars. He's settled for like one fifty guys. When
(01:36:31):
it gets the strip clubs. You got this up, you're
about two thousand and you think you might want to
send us a check. But the other thing is like,
for three hundred hours, you should be able to own
a stripper. You should probably be able to buy your
own strep. And so you make a club, You make
a fifty cents on the dollar deal with a gentleman's club.
And the guy on the gentleman's club was rapper trick
(01:36:52):
daddy's father, Trick Daddy's trick Daddy's daddy took it to
the house. But are those Is it like library books?
The Tropic of cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn. That's exactly right.
I'm I could never One of the first things I
was told by uh folks in the NFL before going
(01:37:16):
to the first Super Bowl we covered do not do
not go there. Don't go there, like, just do us
a favor. And I'm like, guess what I would That's
not That's not where I'm going to spend my time. Anyway.
I appreciate the heads up, but I've never been told
what to say or what to do in my job
except right there, don't go there. You're going because the
(01:37:37):
first one was in Houston, which you know is there's
a few of those places, a few of those places
and they ships like more sex workers in like they're
just like it's glad. I wouldn't know people and unaffiliated,
just like. The bottom line is, bottom line is get
him to the hotel. That's the We're no, no, just don't.
I'm saying that happens, don't even hang out it, no,
(01:37:59):
But I'm saying my bottom line, don't get out of
his bottom line. It's very important that my bottom line
is properly uh established and communicated. Certainly since I'm in
a contract here, we need to make sure of all that.
But bottom line is I wouldn't go to those places anyway.
And in this day and age, if you're in charge
(01:38:21):
of an organization or perceived to be, which is what
how many people come up to me and say do
this do that on network And just as Jerry would
say about about how he can't just get you in
the Entourage movie, I can't. I can't get you a gig.
I can't figure that out. I'm just a wheel in
the Congo regime. But people think I am. So I've
got to figure out what to do and what I
(01:38:43):
can't do. I want and I've been here eleven years.
So when I said I haven't been to one in
fifteen years, that's the trick. It goes way back, It
goes way back, all right, So I'm not lying, don't
It's as branding situation. You have to be remember no, no, no, no,
(01:39:05):
you have kids. Don't say you're not a bad husband. Yes, now,
get it out of your system now, because you won't
be able to your future horrible dead. Honestly, go into
a strip club when you have daughters is like brushing
your teeth and then drinking orange juice. There's just no
way to get the bad taste out of your mouth.
(01:39:25):
That is exactly the way it is like down scientifically,
it's why you're your mint in citrus mint and so
my mint sisters, gum idea is not gonna work there.
You're on your on your own with that. That doesn't
fit the brand speaking of, but remember when Matt Leinert
was caught in his own hot tub with girls of
(01:39:47):
legal age and everyone try to make a story out
of that. That's the standard that you're helped do You
guys have a problem with what Manziel was doing this
past week. Oh, I actually don't if what if you're
Browns fans Brown's, you're hoping this guy is a real deal.
Bradford had had that much. How does how does that
make him less of a real deal? If priests he
wasn't learning his plays and if they felt like he
(01:40:09):
was just this is a league where Tony Romo in
the playoffs went to Cobo and his off week and
got blasted. What did I do? It's very different from
what you can't even you don't even know who you're playing.
You don't even know what you're playing. You want to
take three days of a break. You just got into
the bye week? The big deal. His coach said that
(01:40:29):
your philosophy. I'm just saying, this is a business. This
is the business that they have chosen to use behind
in raw phrase and this business way, the way it
works is if you're a quarterback, you're in You're in
the tank. You're not running off with Gronk. I think
I agree with you. I think he now has. What
(01:40:51):
he's done is he's put a little more pressure on
him and on himself. And you say to yourself, this
is the first thing I said would Russ will Wilson
have done that exactly? And he won the would Peyton
have done it? We just said Bridgewater on Bridgewater moved
to Minnesota the minute he got drafted, and he and
there are no strippers And if and if Bridgewater would
(01:41:16):
have gone, he would have made it a non issue
and it all would have been water under the bridge. Water.
He would have been with Brian McKinney and they wouldn't know.
What do you think of the Rams? What do you
think of your rams? What do you think they love?
The love that they did in the draft? Again, we
talked to less Need a couple of years or two
years ago, a year and a half ago, and he said,
(01:41:37):
we're gonna be good in three years. We're gonna be
good in two years because we got all these draft picks.
We're gonna be good. The big thing is and this
is it. It's all about Sam Bradford. How now if
he doesn't do well and they just doubled down on him,
they're like, we're all in on this. This is it,
you bet is their safety nut. I mean that's not
much of a safety nut. I mean where John Hill
(01:41:58):
was that temple out? Who's thinking that Sean Hills. Sean
Hill was the backup in Detroit. Essentially, you're treading water
with that guy. So Ken Sam Bradford do it. That's
the question. We got him, protection got a great running.
I mean, I think was a steel I think I
(01:42:18):
watched him. I watched so many Auburn games last year
and I'm like, this guy. What I love about him
is he's not just fast, but he's super tough. And
I think that's what And also Zack Stacey is a
different runner, and so you're gonna you're gonna you're actually
gonna be able to come in with. And I love
Jeff Fisher as a coach. I think he's a winner.
I think he was the right guy for St. Louis. Probably. Yeah,
(01:42:39):
the Provision have two best teams in the NFL are
in your division, So what are you gonna do there?
That's that's what's gonna be hard. But they'll be better.
I think they'll be better. But I think they're defensive.
You could start four first round picks, I know. And
that's why we talked about on our last podcast that
Michael Sam making that line is going to be uh
difficult for him, and we did. We did we did
(01:43:00):
talk about Michael sam up down, left and right with
Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah, and the minute we were
done with the podcast, five minutes later, it came out
that Oprah and him we're going to do a documentary together.
And it took three news cycles for that thing to
get put away and finished up is he but he's
not going to do it now, or well, here's here's
(01:43:22):
the thing. Here's the thing is um I believe Darren
Ravel tweeted out, and I felt the need to tweet
back at him. He tweeted out that in the middle
of this whole issue that had popped up, that rightfully so,
because it flew in the face of everything, and it
flew in the face of everything the way they handled
it so perfectly, it did it did He said, I
(01:43:43):
just want to be known as a football player that
flew in the face of that, that wherever I go,
it will not be a problem just because I'm an
openly gay man in the locker room. It won't be
a it won't be a distraction. Flew in the face
of that. It flew in the face of the guys
who made his dream come true. You're now putting that
on their lap to to to swat it down, which
the RAMS did revel in the middle of all of it,
(01:44:03):
tweeted out, you know, Oprah's network has told Michael Sam
that it will not shoot him at O t A
s or training camp or anything of that like or
something like that, and I'm I, well, you know, alright,
sort of tweeted back, and I'm like that that would
be news if they say they won't be shooting him
during those those times. It would be news if they
(01:44:28):
said they would be shooting you know at those places.
That that determination is the RAMS at those places. It's
just like, you know, the same same thing is that
Oprah has also decided not to shoot Michael Sam at
the White House, the Kremlin atop the Eiffel Tower, and
also on planet planet planet Saturn and the surface of
(01:44:52):
the Moon. They won't shoot him there either. They decided
they're not going to shoot them there. But if they
if they say they were not shooting you during those events,
then that's huge because well then what else are we
going to see him but go shopping during those things.
So the whole thing was just it seems opportunistic from
Oprah's I'm like, this is why Oprah should not own
a network. First of all, she has as much money
(01:45:13):
as she needs. What are you doing? I appreciate you.
It seems so opportunistic to jump on this thing. To me,
as soon as the Rams drafted him, I thought, Oh,
I hope the Rams are the HBO Hard Knocks. That
to me would be very cool. I don't know who, well,
I don't think been that to me would have been like, oh,
(01:45:34):
I want to see this kind of get played out
through something like that or you know, or some sort
of thing like that. To the Oprah angle, I kind
of immediately said, what is happening? No, no, no, no, no,
this is not what you want. Here's here's here's the
way that I I don't speak for the league even
though I just said that, you know people that I did. Man,
I don't think you're ever going to see the Rams
on Hard Knocks this year because the last I think
(01:45:57):
the way the league wants this thing to play out
is the way that my Michael sam has said up
to the point of the Oprah thing to play out.
It's just that he's a football player, and let's go
see him play football. And so if they show up
on Hard Knocks, then suddenly the league could be accused
of exploiting it for their own documentary purposes. That's never
going to happen. Certainly after Michael Sam's documentary idea got
(01:46:20):
squelched within two seconds black the whole thing was even
also the fan base to whom that to which Michael
Sam needs to or maybe feel the need to introduce himself,
does not watch the Oprah Winfrey Network. You're never gonna
You're gonna get other people involved in Who's one. I mean,
(01:46:40):
the people who watch Oprah win Oprah Winfrey Network are
not that might have a problem on the NFL network.
Uh noally over to Oprah. I don't think that. I
don't think that's never happened. The whole thing, from beginning
to end, was just a bad idea. And I'm glad
(01:47:01):
that that got taken care of and and hopefully you know,
because you know, Michael Sam has got a major line
the crap, He's got a major linement. Do you think
that they they do like a different package with him
and maybe sort of treat him like a linebacker. I
think he's just gonna be a rush. You see him
on Specialty and Special teams and when they when they
(01:47:22):
need to get somebody pr to you know, it's interesting,
that's the idea. But I mean, by the way, Robert
Quin's a pretty damn good pass rush, Chris is a
pretty dam But what if Michael Sam can do in
the way If I was listening to Erik Spoelster talk
about Chris Bosh and he was like, yeah, he got
twenty five points last night. Did you hear that? It
was like, yeah, I got twenty five points last night,
(01:47:43):
but he Spoilster did something. And I've never been like
the biggest Spoilster fan, but this won me over big time.
He was like, there's a lot of things that the
basketball player does that you guys can't see and don't
know about. And I don't blame you, but you guys
just don't know what you're talking about. Like so everyone
can be like, hey, nine points, but he did eighteen
things that allowed the other guys to do what they do.
(01:48:04):
So what happens in Michael Sam comes in draw some
attention and he doesn't get the sack, But now that
opens it up for these other really talented guys that
I hope we get to see. The doctor didn't I
think to that community it could be a very important
thing to see. My take was, do what if you
want to document it, haven't come out in two years
and have films do it like they did with Belichick.
(01:48:26):
Don't tell anyone you're doing it. That's a great idea.
That's actually two or three years, that's a that's a
great idea. I mean, you hear stories about the guys.
There's no question that he has a message, and an
inspirational one, certainly for people who are who need to
have the path uh taken before them, no doubt about it.
But doing it within forty eight hours of being drafts
(01:48:50):
seems like you're jumping opportunist nuts. And and especially since
clearly nobody had asked the rams. Nobody had the whole
body had either older rams are said hey, by the way, um,
you know, we're going to need access to your training
camp and also your O T A S. And not
for just every one guy, which in itself, it doesn't
(01:49:11):
matter what the story is. One guy in a in
a team sport locker room. The whole thing was just
it would alienate even further. But how great that St. Louis.
You know you can do what you want and what
you will with your seventh round pick. You really can.
I mean, it is what it is. And we can
go back and look at the numbers and see how
well those guys have performed throughout the league. You know,
(01:49:32):
and of course they're undrafted free agents like Danny Woodhead
who comes in and play is fantastic. But you know,
they just they made such a great call to pick
this guy up in this spot. It makes the Rams
look so good. It's St. Louis. He's played in the
Edward Jones done before being the Zoo fans are kids
who graduated and then go back and we know because
we grew up with Missoo being a perennial dormat in
(01:49:55):
the Big Eight. That's who they were. The Big Eight
was Oklahoma, it was Nebraska and everyone else, everyone else
and everyone else, you may be Texas was not in
a Colorado and we were in it in a time
where one year they were good with Phil Bradley, who
later went on to play for the Mariners as a quarterback.
That's the only time they were good in Phil Bradley
(01:50:15):
and James Wilder, those teams. Like so that's it. So now,
like you know what Pinkel has done with that team
and made them like they walked into the SEC and dominant.
This guy was the defensive player of the year in
the SEC. Yeah with C. J. Mosley, who was the
first round choice, who, by the way, during this conversation
signed his rookie deal. That's fantastic. Sign J Gaines from Missouri.
(01:50:40):
And an hour before, apparently during the Ferrara Um interview,
Shawn Lee was taken off the field for Cowboys practice.
Helped off the field. How hard do you go at
O t S By the way, it's like you're trying
to make a team. You're trying to show him that
you can hit. Yet it's his left knee. Wow, don't
(01:51:06):
love that, No bueno, you don't want anything near the knee.
So a Scarborough Country on the ear Wolf label at

gonna do a live podcast. We've got Cold cult Cabana.
Have you ever had him on the wrestler Phenomenal pro
Wrestler Funny Last in Chicago. T J. Jagodowski is one

haired guy, and that's one of the two guys those
(01:51:47):
great Sonic the epics on a commercials and uh, you know,

(01:52:08):
special I mean again Netflix, you can get it on iTunes.
Don't even watch it for us, watch it for rich
who crushed. Hilarious of the giants crush. Everyone has a moment.
That's what I loved about it. We worked really hard
to Randy and I wrote it, and first of all,
when we cut it together, that first chunk thing was
like seven minutes long. We're like this seven and we're like,
(01:52:29):
I don't want to lose any of it. I love
all of it. And then we slowly whittled it down
and whittled it down and got it to like it's funny.
It's funny. How did you guys get free? Uh? You know,
because we talked to a friend of ours, this guy,
Scott Rogowski, who does he did a live show in
New York called twelve Angry Mascots and they did a
lot of stuff with uh, with athletes and stuff, so
(01:52:51):
that he was connected with a lot of agency. Said
I know this person and this person I will give
you their numbers because we're like, we gotta get real, real,
real guys in there. And so we spoke to this
woman and said Dwight Freenie would be What about Dwight Freeny.
I said, oh my god, this guy's, in my opinion,
future Hall of Famer. He knows what he's doing. He
seems like a cool, confident guy. Let's get him in here.
(01:53:12):
And he again we had our expectation for we said
this guy, were like, what you will get out of
this is tons of people who may know them, may
not know them, will become fans of them. Just in
a second. I prove that they can do comed and
and people loved you on our and people love you
on our podcast. So like all of our fans from
that will you know, just be so happy. I think
it's just cool to be able to do this the
(01:53:34):
right way. It was a good working relation. It's unlike
any other comic. We've watched a lot of comedy specials
on Netflix since we knew we were going there, and
this is unlike any other comedy special. Sort of the
gag you looked at game film, it's a game film totally.
You know, we just met too far off. We just
we just met Peyton Manning and that's the last thing
I want to hit with you and get your get
(01:53:59):
your international. So yeah, that's the last thing. Breath did
a sort of they give out every year to the
top male and female athlete in the state of Nebraska.
They do a dinner and it raises money for Bane Breath,
who does great things for the community of Omaha. And
we were in Bang Breath as kids in St. Louis
and Omaha was part of our region. And one of
(01:54:20):
our friends from camp from Banet Breath and from Michigan
is the head of the board there and asked us
if we would come in and host this thing, and
we thought, let's do it. Why not to be fun,
a chance to meet Peyton. I bet he's a good guy.
You never know, but he is. He is, in my opinion,
the best, most down to earth, most present superstar. And
(01:54:40):
we met a lot of superstar athletes, superstar athletes. I
have ever met a rating m v P in the NFL.
And you've got four times over, four times over broke
records last year. And he's they were doing an auction
before the show and about as signed Peyton manning football
and he's standing back in the kitchen with us, like
giving us some things that he wanted to talk about.
This is talking about the talk about my cot and
(01:55:01):
because we were interviewing him afterwards on stage people, so
we said okay, and then he's like, hang on a second.
He's like, I bet they want me in there to
throw out the footballs to the guys who buy them.
That's gonna make it worth more money to these guys.
Right leaves us walks on stage. Isn't asked to do
this because you know, athletes, if you're gonna show up
and think you're gonna be like, hey, I'm going in
my green What's the Least goes on stage and it's
(01:55:24):
whizzing footballs around this like cocktail Wieners and and you go.
The guy is just there, he knows he's there, and
he's giving to this show. And I'm like, I love
this guy for that. Fantastic And he said banet breath.
He mispronounced it three times that he got it right,
called it a birth, a birth, and then he fixed it,
and then it was a joke, and then he was
really funny. He just he just he literally called a
(01:55:46):
banet breath audible at the line. He read the field
about talked about what it meant. But like, we got
to we got to do comedy. So we're doing stand up.
We're hosting. I'm seeing this event. So we do about
ten minutes to stand up at the top and we
don't know he didn't work blue for up, No, but
we to the edge. Like there's a joke in our
(01:56:06):
special about Lance Armstrong that we did that that there
was a moment where all the people on the days
because we're up on a day and it's like Johnny
Rogers and like you know, it's good, good Nebraska people,
and and Peyton's like a seat next to us, and
we do this joke about Lance Armstrong and we know
it's gonna be like it's going to push the edge
and people laugh and I look over and like everyone
on the days at that moment like goes to take
(01:56:28):
a drink of water, like in the middle at the
end of that joke, because they were like, if I
laugh at this, I don't know what it's gonna make me.
Is at the water. And he because he knew, he
was like he was laughing in it. It was. It
was great, It was it was really veteran. He went
for the water, to the water he knew to go,
which is great. So anyway, I was talking to him.
We'd asked about SNL and he said the sketch that
(01:56:49):
everybody talks about was one I whipping the footballs at
these kids, which was the most one of the best
SNL athlete sketches United United Way sketch whipping in balls
and the kids he said, they're nerve balls. And he said,
I remember there was one parent who actually yelled at
me because I didn't throw it hard enough at their kids.
So I said this today and I was like Peyton,
ever the perfectionist did you afterwards request to see the
(01:57:14):
dailies the footage of that shoot, just to see how
you feel, so that the next time you throw footballs
at kids heads you would do a better job. And
he said there was one pass that I threw that
I wish I had that I know. He said there
was one pass that I threw to a kid long
and nailed a kid in the head. And he said
that was one of the best best life in my life.
(01:57:35):
It was like, Peyton, you unbelievable men, you fantastic, great guy.
That is great. That's great, and I just love that
move where they drink to make sure that that scene laughing.
I was at a Baseball Writers Award show years ago,
years ago when I was on Sports Center and I
was covering baseball and the comedian Bill Scheft. You know Bill,
He used to warm up let him and all the time.
(01:57:56):
Oh yeah, he was great. And it was it was
when the Keys were winning all their World Series. So
the dais was filled with filled with him because they
were winning all the awards to the postseason awards. And
on the left side of the dais was Tori and
Steinbrenner and Uh on the right side was Jeter, Cone,
and I think Clemens was up there too, and they're
(01:58:17):
Cheft right in the middle and doing his bit. And
this was when Chuck knoblock was a second baseman, and
it was so bad throwing the ball. Remember he had
exactly Oberman's mom. He overthrew, he airmailed first base and
the ball hit one fan in the head, and of
all people, it was Keith's mother. So Bill Scheft goes,
(01:58:40):
Chuck Knoblock, Man, who he's got so many problems throwing
the ball in the room, just starts murmuring. And you
look at the Dais and Tori and Steinbrenner looked thoroughly uncomfortable,
as do the rest of the Yankees. And he goes,
he's so bad, they should send him to Cuba to
overthrow Castro. That great Tori and George Tori took the
(01:59:02):
drink of water. George Stone faced, and on the other
side of the day is Cone, Jeter and Clemens had
their hands over their mouths, and they just ducked down.
You gotta hide it, can't You gotta hide that The
greatest lines he's so bad, they should send him to
Cuba to overthrow Castro. Now, al right, the sclar Brothers.
Check them out at the up UH Comedy Club in Chicago.
