And the damage you cause will be beyond repair.

See? We didn't have to use crash or siren sounds after all. Speeding catches up with you.

Brought to you by NHTSA. This this is the Rich Eisen Show. Break up the radio.

Today is the day. Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Rich Eisen.

He's a different cat. He's a tea sipper that is in touch with his deep thoughts. Rich Eisen.

Stop busting up my flow. Today's guest ESPN college football analyst Robert Griffin the third. Senior writer for Sports Illustrated Chris Mannix.

Plus your phone calls latest news and more. And now it's Rich Eisen. That's right hour number two of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air. 844204 Rich is the number to dial. I am thrilled to be here with you and we'll take your phone calls shortly.

It's an overreaction Monday. I even got a good old fun top five for you on this program. TJ Jefferson in his spot. Good to see you TJ. How are you sir? It's good to be seeing you. Good to see you Jay Felley. How are you? Great.

Rich nice to see you. And good to see B-man. I do I do hate that nickname. For those who might be just joining us we have a new comms system that got put in in our in our dark week and Mike Del Tufo labeled the the cube that I get to press now and talk to Chris Brockman. He labeled it B-man even though he's never referred to Chris that way. I've never referred to Chris that way and I don't think anybody ever has.

No one in my whole life. So we will. That's what's up. RG3 slated to join us shortly on this program over there. So that'll be the last time I actually use that.

Really appreciate it. Because it's so terrible. So good lord god awful on this program. So Wimbledon's going down. What else went down over?

Kaitlyn Clark triple doubled first time first rookie triple double in the history of the triple double in the history of the W. Angel Reese set the double consecutive game record. 13. What else is going on? Not a whole lot. I know right.

Not a whole lot really. All-star were announced for Major League Baseball. That's right.

That's pretty cool. Five Cleveland Guardians got named right? A team that nobody's talking about.

Nobody's talking about them. Playing so great. How have your Mets been doing since destroying the Yankees? Five and five the last ten.

I haven't noticed. The Pirates man put it down on the Mets two games ago. Had 14 runs. I think seven home runs. Seven runs they ran out of fireworks. Did you see that?

So many home runs. Yeah. That the Pirates ran out of fireworks. Are you serious? Yeah.

Because they do the thing that a lot of teams do. They play fireworks after everyone hits a home run. Right. It's seven in the game, ran out. And it wasn't a bit.

They literally tweeted out yes it's real we have run out of fireworks. Fantastic. Paul Skeen still doing the thing on the all-star team.

Love that dude. Should be starting Brockman I think right? No he can save that for a second. Let's save it.

Let's save it. Oh is that an overreaction Monday? My bad. My bad. My bad. Do you remember the conversation back in the day when Yasiel Puig lit it up from like May 1st through June 8th and everyone was like he should be in the all-star game.

Remember that? That's what the all-star game should be though. It doesn't count.

It doesn't mean anything. Correct. Let's just put the most exciting players in the game. I agree. I agree. Right.

I agree. We were talking about that with Elie De La Cruz last year where obviously he's in it this year. He's a phenomenal player. Right.

But last year when he kind of burst onto the scene and was going crazy at a cycle and inside the you know put him in the game. It's a showcase of the great young players in the game. I totally agree with you. Yeah.

Well but you know that would take up a spot of somebody who more deserving but doesn't have the same cachet, doesn't have the same attention as anybody else. But I'm with you. I am 100% with you. He's been terrific. He's been lights out. He's been somebody that everyone pays attention to when he starts. You should throw him out there. And it's just for one inning anyway.

Exactly. Nobody pitches more than just one inning in a base and an all-star game anymore. No, I don't think we're going to see you know Pedro famously had the two innings where he struck out all these guys. And imagine us getting back into that schemes moment. He comes in three up, three down, 101 like. Amazing.

That would be incredible right? You kind of need that here in baseball. All right, let's take some phone calls while we're searching for Robert Griffin III. Noah in Reno, Nevada has been holding on for over an hour. What's up Noah? How are you? What's up Rich? How you guys doing? You trying to stay cool out there in Nevada? What is it a buck 15 where you are right now or what is it?

Oh man, I'm in northern Nevada, the more beautiful part, 105. Oh great. Okay, all right, what's on your mind? Hey man, I wanted to see uh your guys' opinion on my win-loss game for my Denver Broncos. Oh okay, I gotta tell you, Broncos fans are all fired up. Optimistic man.

Well I mean not just that, this is the third one. Do you have any more over there? We should merge our lists here. Yeah, our list. All right, let's I got Nick in Portland has an eight and nine Broncos. And I've got an eight and nine for Martin in Colorado.

Yeah, I got those two. And a nine and eight for Derek in Missouri. And it's now time for you Noah in Reno with a bucko five going on behind you. Let's get the music going. The Denver Broncos start in Seattle.

Stop me if you've heard that one before from two years ago, but what happens here? Yeah, I'm getting flashbacks. I think we start on one. Boy, everybody's had them losing the first one. You're the third one, so oh and one home for the Steelers. I think we win that one. Uh-huh, at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

We don't travel good to Florida, we're going one and two. All right, you are now at the New York Jets. I think we got to get Nathaniel Hackett back, we're going two and two. Okay, yeah.

Let me just tell you something. If the Jets lose that one, it will be tough in New York City. It'll be a rough one. Vegas Raiders, two and two at home. Take a win on that one. Three and two, home for the Chargers.

Four and two, Rich. At the Saints, Sean Payton on a Thursday night. Emotion's running high, but I think we take the hell on that one.

Everybody's saying the same thing there too in your previous call. Four and three, home for the Panthers. When? Five and three at the Ravens. We shock everyone with a win. Six and three at the Kansas City Chiefs.

I think we take an L on that one. Six and four, home for the Falcons. Loss. Six and five at the Vegas Raiders.

When? Seven and five, home for the Browns on a Monday night. Cleveland will be on their third quarterback. We take a win. Eight and five off the bye, home for the Colts.

When? Nine and five at the Chargers. I think we take the L on that one. Nine and six at the Bengals. L. Nine and seven, home for the Chiefs. When?

Wildcard spot. Ten and seven, says Noah in Reno, Nevada. All right, sir. Thank you for the call. Appreciate it. Thank you, guys. You got it.

See you, brother. Isn't that interesting? Of all the win-loss games, every single Bronco fan says they lose the opener at Seattle but then bounce back home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I would... Okay, so Nick in Portland had it the other way. He had them winning week one and then losing the next two before rattling it off three.

Let me just say this to everybody out there so folks understand. If the Jets lose that game at home against the Denver Broncos, okay, coming off of a... Because I know the Jets schedule inside and out for various reasons because I'm also getting slated to head to London when the Jets take on the Vikings for NFL Network and being in the booth for that one. It's looking good for that. Oh, nice. That if they come off of a Thursday night game and have a mini-buy welcoming in Denver at the Jets after Denver's got to go to Tampa the week before and they lose to a rookie quarterback Bo Nix coming into the house against Aaron Rodgers with Nathaniel Hackett being the OC. If that happens, I think there might be some issues in the New York market.

We shall see. And again, we did see a sighting of Mike Del Tufo today before the show helping us get everything ready for our our com system. He did appear here, but Aaron Rodgers made his first appearance, right? He was at UFC 303? He was. Did he say anything there? Anybody put a microphone in front of him? I didn't see any quotes from him. I just saw him kind of sitting there taking in the scene. So I believe I believe it's entirely possible that that he's he I don't think he said anything, but it's entirely possible what I said is correct. We won't be hearing from him about where he was and what the status is with the Jets if that's changed at all.

I predicted again he will speak to a local reporter at the Lake Tahoe golf outing, which is this weekend. No, it is not. It's the following. It is.

No, no, they moved it up. It's July 10th to the 14th. So we will this week. It'll be this weekend.

You'll hear from him. Yeah. I will say so to 10th is Wednesday, right? Yeah. Okay. So he will be out there on a practice round Thursday or something like that, right?

Yeah. It's a three day usually, right? So Thursday, Friday, Saturday. So I have a feeling on Thursday's show or Friday show we'll have we'll we'll hear. I can feel it. Let's go to Cody in St. Louis. He just chimed in. What's up, Cody?

Hey, how's it going, Rich? Oh, Cody, you don't sound too excited for being on the program, man. Are you disturbed? I am.

I ain't never called in before, so. All right. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Let's start again. Let's start again.

Yeah. Hold on a second. Let's take them all again here. And let's do two things.

One, I will be less of an a-hole. St. Louis team champions, Jason Tate and Matthew Kachow. Correct. And you, Cody, maybe sound a little more excited to be on the program. Ready? Here we go. Hold on a second.

Hold on a second. Cody in St. Louis, you're on the Rich Ozzins show. What's up, Cody? Hey, what's up? What's up, man? How are you? Great to chat with you. Great to meet you, Cody. What's going on?

I saw the other day your jets got favored over my Dolphins in the odds to win the AFC East this year. Okay. And I don't understand why that is, man. How does that equate? By the way, Cody, and I will say this to you, with all honesty, I don't blame you for thinking that.

I don't know. I think it's just everyone assumes that Rodgers will return and everything that was all systems go last year will be equally the same now and that everybody who was a little green last year grew up under some very fiery circumstances last year and they'll just assume. I look at the Dolphins roster, Cody. Well, Cody, I look at the Dolphins. They lost up on Diggs, so I don't know how they're still number one as far as like odds go whenever the Dolphins win. Then the Dolphins win the AC last year. Well, actually they lost it. They lost it at the last second because they didn't hold serve at home against the Bills and that wound up sending them unfortunately to, what was it, about a 90 degree game time temperature difference between what they would have done had they hosted the Bills for a second straight week in the wildcard round?

It was like minus 20, right? Listen, Cody, it all comes down to this. Can the Dolphins be healthy enough with Tua, which last year they were able to, and can they be healthy enough on defense with the guys that they lost in non-contact injuries as it seemed last year? Can they come back and chub and Daniels and can they, can they, pardon me, Phillips, can they go ahead and perform well soon enough for the Dolphins to put their stamp on a division that they have every right to be considered to win? That's the question. And then they, I think, and thanks for the call, Cody, call back, sir. That's the question for the Miami Dolphins.

Would you say this? Name me a team that needs to win and play a home game in order to advance to the Super Bowl more than the Miami Dolphins. Like narrative purpose needs to win? Not narrative purpose, like real, no, real life, like their system of playing football works better in the temperature works better in the temperature that they're playing or they're indoors. Could you say the Lions or the Lions damn near won in San Francisco in the NFC? But the stats are real for Jared Goff, home and away, like that's a real thing.

He plays infinitely better. Could you say Dallas? I don't know that team is necessarily built to only succeed. Last year, the difference between home and away last year, the home, they were as dominant as any home team in recent memory until the Packers showed up. Well, speaking of the Packers, remember the end of the Rogers run, they were not built. It was ironically enough. I think that was more a narrative.

Home games at Lambeau. I don't know. See, I look at the Dolphins being a team built upon, predicated upon speed, right? Yeah, absolutely. So is that what you're saying? Like, this is what I am saying. You put them at home where those, those athletes can just run?

We saw it. They went to KC, but they got to go to Buffalo. If they got to go, if New England's a playoff team, if they got to go to Denver or wherever, it's like, they're not built for that type of environment.

Optimal weather, you put them out there. Let me just say this. Let me just read this to you. Okay. Tua at the quarterback spot, running backs, Raheem Mostert, Devin A. Chan, Jalen Wright.

Okay. Don't forget Jeff Wilson Jr. is on this team too. He's fourth on the depth chart at the running back spot, going into training camp. Kyrie Kill, Jalen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, Malik Washington. Remember I told you about that kid before the draft in Virginia? He was a Northwestern transfer, I believe Northwestern to Virginia.

And he set every record of Virginia. And then, oh yeah, Odell's there now. Jonu Smith, who the Patriots removed from your fantasy radar and put him on a milk carton for two years.

Then last year, the Atlanta was awesome. Alec Ingold, who is a dynamite running back, a fullback in the, in a use check mold, which is what his role is for this offense. Guys, name me a better, a faster offense.

There isn't a faster offense in the NFL with a guy in Tua that hits a back foot and gets rid of it. Well, when you have a game to guarantee a home playoff game, you better win it. Damn straight.

You're not wrong. But again, it's Chubb and Phillips. Are these guys going to come back? They got Chop Robinson, Shaq Barrett's on the team.

I mean, they are, they are loaded. Kaleis Campbell. That's right. They got Kaleis Campbell, year 31 for him. It's crazy. And they're third to go back to the Collards point.

Yes. Bill's favorite to win the AFC East, plus 165. Jets, plus 185. Dolphins, plus 210.

Why are they third? Jalen Ramsey is sitting back there now. Jordan Poyer is on the team now because he was one of the cap casualty veteran cuts in Buffalo. Javon Holland is still patrolling in, in, in the secondary, which is, he is, you know what he's great at? He's great at picking off a hail Mary at the end of a half and running it the whole way back. He's great at that. I saw him do that once.

You did? Yeah. Oh, wow.

All right. So that was a prime deal. They're set, man. The Dolphins are flat out set. And everyone's talking about the AFC North for good reason and the AFC West because of who's sitting at top and who's joined it and the coaching staff. And then the AFC South, I think everybody considers one of those sneaky, really good divisions. Dolphins should be ranked first to win the division in the AFC East. I kind of think so.

They should be because the bills are, again, we're just talking about on paper, off season, getting ready for the season. They are potentially in a transition moment, potentially. The quarterback can basically say we're transitioning 0.0 here. I'm still Josh freaking Allen and we've got this thing. And Jared Cook could be dominant and they could also get Keon Coleman and his Macy's jacket coming for you, right?

Okay, exactly. And they can get back their defensive players. Matt Milano sneaking around, coming back, right? And the Jets get Aaron Rodgers back.

Is it just plug Aaron and play? I don't know. I don't know. And then obviously, and I don't mean to just, and then there's the Patriots, but I think that you have to- That's totally fair. They're 27 to one to win the division. It's not happening. Good caller right there. By the way, to everybody that is in the Houston area, like Robert Griffin III, we are sending our best to you as a hurricane is barreling through the area. And that is why we are rebooking Robert Griffin III. So we send our best to everyone there. Yeah, stay safe.

Phone lines are lit, which we greatly appreciate. We'll take your phone calls. Overreaction Monday.

You think there's nothing to overreact to. You have never met the B-man. See, I didn't call you B-man. I called you the B-man. B-man in the house. We're not friends. We're not friends. Hey, everybody.

This just in. It's summertime. It's time to go and do all those summer things, like going to a baseball game during the summer. I'm about to do exactly that, and I know exactly what to do.

Last-minute tickets, lowest price guaranteed. We all know about the speed of sound, but have you ever thought about the sounds of speeding? If you drive over the speed limit, there are lots of different sounds that you might hear. Drive too fast and you could hear the sound of your vehicle crashing. The sound of ambulances and first responders desperately trying to free you from the wreckage. You could hear the beeps of a heart monitor. You could hear doctors and nurses in an emergency room as you're being treated for your injuries. You could hear the sound of worried family members in the hospital waiting room hoping to hear that you're okay.

You could even hear the sound of people crying at a funeral. Because if you drive over the speed limit, whether by a lot or by a little, you could do damage that's beyond repair. You could seriously injure yourself, or worse, you could hurt and even kill someone else. When you speed, you put everyone on the road in danger. One way or another, speeding catches up with you.

Paid for by NHTSA. What's the most pissed off you made Nick Saban ever? Oh, when I took the sack second at 26.

You mean the one that you immediately made up for with an amazing play that put you on the map? That sack? Okay, so walk me through how that, what he said to you, if you can, in a certain way on a live radio and TV broadcast. I mean, I could only see it on camera. How mad he was, that was probably the most pissed off, though, I think he's ever been at me. He was squeezing his headset so hard.

It was hard because the emotion was so mad to so happy, so fast for him. When we got into the locker room, when everything settled down, he was still the same coach. He put me to the side.

What were you thinking? So after you won the game and you've picking confetti out of your hair, he still took a moment in that moment to revisit that sack. Being who he is, he put me to the side, he said, why did you take the sack? And I thought it was a good time to joke with him.

I mean, we won the national championship, so I told him, well, we needed more room to throw the ball, coach. And he looked at me and I was laughing. He's like, that's not funny. I didn't know what else to do in that situation. I was like, okay, I'm sorry, coach.

So I shook his hand and he just moved on. I was like, oh man. That's amazing. I love that story.

That made my favorite story the whole week. So you just figured, yeah, hey. I was like, oh, maybe. I thought it was a good time to joke, but it was. Yeah, nope.

It's never a good time, I guess, in that respect. Fun stuff with Tua back in the day, back on the Rich Eisen Show radio network. I'm sitting at the Rich Eisen Show desk furnished by Grainger with supplies and solutions for every industry. Grainger has the right product for you.

Call clickranger.com or just simply stop by, please. So Wimbledon, my guy Alcaraz still in it, right? Still in it.

Okay. Still in it. Although he got taken to five sets by Tiafoe the other day. I saw that.

Like I told you, one word, vulnerable. Did you play any tennis last week? No, I played pickleball for the first time in months.

And that is why you wouldn't get a point on him. Walking okay? I mean, what happened? Actually, I wasn't. I wasn't. But I got walked on. I got worked on and now I'm back. Look at me.

Seriously. Oh, your dude walked on you? Oh, he walked on me.

That's what I did in my off time. Anybody walk on you during your off time? He literally has a guy walk on him.

No, this is a real thing. People don't know. What's his name, Rich? You told me his name. Daron. Daron. And then I got worked on by Pete Picataggio, the famed body mechanic of Los Angeles, California. He's fantastic. I went to high school with him.

If somebody could just really work on me like I'm a pizza dough. So no, didn't play tennis. Yes, played pickleball. Anything else? All right.

Phone lines are lit. Let's go to... You watch any baseball? Let's go. Before we go to the... Just come on. Have at it. Go ahead.

Go ahead. When exactly does the ownership transfer take place? Because the Steinbrenners are... Right? I thought I read that. The signing ownership over to Raphael Devers. Right? That's a real thing that's happening? The Yankees, for some reason, keep pitching to this guy.

There's a group of people. The second one last night was a foot outside and he pulled it. Excuse me. But it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. The first time he turned around an eyeball high fastball from... Chapman. Or Aldis Chapman and tomahawked it out of Yankee Stadium.

And that should have served notice on the Yankees on that spot. How many years ago was this now? Six maybe?

No, no, no. Might've been nine. Okay. Let me just tell...

I think he was 18 or 19. Let me just... First of all, offering no pushback to you on that. Zero pushback to you on that. There is a list of players that the Yankees, for some reason, keep pitching to. And I would like to actually... You know what? Do you got the top five? I'll give it to you right now, off the top of my head.

Is that in the binder? I've got it. If you give me a top five, I'll give you a bonus top five. Oh, a bonus five? Yeah, a bonus five. A bonus five. And it'll go quick. Maybe it'll go faster than the actual drop that I've been tap dancing for since everybody's working hard.

Do you have it? Go ahead and hit it. High five. One, two, three, four, five. Richest top five.

Top five guys that the Yankees, for some reason, keep freaking pitching to. So this will go... Send this to the Bronx, New York, and hand it and just basically say, stop it. Stop it.

Honestly, this will help. Automatic walk when these guys come up? Don't even... But yeah, why not? Free pass.

It's better. I'll start with your guy. First up, Devers.

Devers. He's five on the list. What's going on? Four is your guy, Alonzo. Why do the Yankees keep pitching to Pete Alonzo?

I have no idea. Glad that he did. They kill him every single freaking time.

Alonzo. And it's just like, try your... The number of times I've screamed at the screen, try your luck with Nimmo instead. That's a good horse name. Try your luck with Nimmo.

That horse is great on the rail. Number three. I got my other two. I got to find a third. Okay, here. The other three.

Here you go. Jose Ramirez. Why the hell are you pitching to him? On fire this week. What are we doing?

What are you doing? I take my chances with the guy who... The kid who's made the all-star game now to rock the baby. Nail it. I take my chances with him instead of Jose Ramirez.

Two is Bregman and one is Altuve. Every time. Every time they kill the Yankees. Kill them. And the Yankees are like, okay, we've got a pitching plan. No, you don't. Your pitching plan is this.

Four. Take your base. See ya. So you triggered me. Congratulations.

You're welcome. Boo's never been better. Lifetime contract. Okay.

I wish the Mets felt that way about Neil Cruz as he just parked one in the out. Just now? Yeah. Just now?

Just now, yeah. That's good for my fantasy team. Do you think we need one more? No, no, we don't need one more.

That was it. We don't need one more. We don't need one more. There's probably... I probably forgot. I probably forgot a couple people. You know, it's now probably... I got to choose an Oriole now. I don't know which one yet. Oh man. They all, they all... Take your pick. I don't know.

And by the way, where do they find... I know, I know they've been drafting the top of drafts for years now. Kind of like the Astros were, you know... Every single kid they bring up breaks, except Matt Holliday's kid. And it's just a matter of time for him anyway. They gave him a look-see and they're like, let's send him back down for more cultivating. Yeah. Yeah. He went back down because he struggled.

He struggled for like two weeks and they're like, not worth it. When we've got 15 other ones. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

So Raphael Devers owns the Yankees. Does that make you feel better? Because it's the truth. It is the truth. It's just, why, why? It's just, you know, the Red Sox are massively overachieving 49 and 40.

It's not expected coming into the year. Which is why, which is why they, they went ahead and they got your manager back. Yeah. He's really good. He's good manager. He's good at the managing.

Good at the managing. So does this make you feel better about your ownership group? No. Why? Why? Maybe they'll go, maybe they'll go get you a nice little toy at the end of the month. Shaughnessy and everyone's saying that the Red Sox are still going to be sellers at the deadline. Is that right?

Maybe that's a good idea. Can you win the World Series this year? I think if they went and got Peter Lonzo, maybe. That's, that, that is a, that is, that's an attack posture as far as I'm concerned. Well, that could have been a chance before Grimace hit the scene, but as we all know, ever since Grimace came, the White Sox have a lot of pieces that are available, you know, who are good players. The White Sox, you're saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Louise Roberts available. Let's see what happens.

Crochet is available. All right, let's go to Lenny in Panama City. What's up, Lenny? Whoa.

Lenny. Wow, man. Yeah. What's up? Hey. Man, I've been waiting so long.

The gummies have kicked in. Well, that's good to know, Lenny. We're going to do the win or lose thing with the buccaneer. Okay. Well, first of all, Lenny, way to frame the conversation.

It sounds like you're already winning, is what I'm saying. Well, I am. Okay, very good. Can we give, can we give Lenny in Panama City? What team's he doing?

He's doing the smoking bro. Give me some. There you go. For the buccaneers. Well done. Well done. Setting the stage.

Bruce Arians drop. Lenny in Panama. Hold on, let me open.

TJ Plus down in Panama? Apparently, he do. And TJ, you are looking exceptional this morning and B-Man, you're outstanding as always. Appreciate you, Lenny. This is not a fan anymore. This is a bit. Oh, it's a bit.

It's great. And you know the Letterman rules of comedy is just keep beating it down and then beat it to death. All right, here we go.

Well, and you know LeBron is paying Bronny's tab, right? Okay, probably. All right, here we go. All right, Lenny, here we go. Week one, home for the Washington commanders. Rich, I'm gonna make this real easy. Yeah? You can call this as like the best one ever, because we are going undefeated.

The boys in Miami can crack their bottles of prune juice. We are going undefeated and winning the Super Bowl this year. And the team is not letting up. 16-0, man. So, Lenny, in Panama City, you are the first, I think, caller in the history of our win-loss game to forgo the actual game-by-game analysis.

Just make a declaration. And say it's 17-0 and then 3-0, because you got the buy wrapped up. And 20-0 Super Bowl champions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's it.

I want the Buccaneers to hear this loudly. That was it. You had us, Lenny. We were like, what is it? But that's it. All of us were like, uh. Okay.

The gummies have kicked in. Thank you, Lenny. Attaboy, Lenny.

Enjoy the day. There you go. Lenny in Panama City, Florida.

Bleeping Lenny. Do you think his prediction changed after the gummies kicked in? No, I think that was always the plan. I think that was always the plan. I think the gummies really gave him.

Actually, I think when Lenny first called in, he was taking the bar exam. And then the gummies kicked in and the bucket. Yada, yada, yada. The Buccaneers are going to go 20-0 and have a parade. Yo, I was waiting so long. Guess what's up?

Okay. He's like, look, I'm going to make this real simple for you guys, man. We're going to win the Super Bowl, man. I really enjoyed the buildup, though, of like, oh, 8-0, 9-0. I'm just going to write it down here.

We're not going to waste our time with all that, Chris. Lenny in Panama City, 17-0. And then I'm putting an asterisk, and the asterisk is Gummy. Gummies kicked in.

Gummies kicked in. Here we go. So there's that.

God, I love our viewers and listeners. So Lenny not working today, day off today. How do you know? I'm assuming. Let's just hope Lenny's not a truck driver. I'm hoping. I hope he works from home.

I'm hoping. He's just chilling. He's probably working harder than Del Tufo. He's still here. Where is he? He's in the back talking.

All right, so then here's what needs to be done. If he's in the back talking, we need to relabel this before the end of the show. We need to get the B-man stink out of here. I'm Batman.

He might be working. You know, I don't know if you guys understand this. We got a guy named Chopper in the back right now. There's a dude named Chopper. I know. Well, no, but he's actually the one who's from the people who put the system in. I'm just saying. He's not a label maker guy. No, no, no. Not that.

I'm just saying. You think he's the one with the label maker and Del Tufo is like, it's spelled B-M-A-N. No, I'm telling you, there's work going on back there. There's the famous B-man label right next to your desk.

That's it. There's only two labels with four letters on it. One of them is mute.

Mute. The other one is B-man. B-man. All right. Let's take a break.

He's going to put Chris there. And hoes. H-O-S for hoss.

That goes without saying, what the hell's going on here, when we come back, it's an overreaction Monday for this soon to be artist formerly known as B-man. Let's talk O'Reilly Auto Parts, people.

Sideline to sideline, end zone to end zone. This was good for everybody.

Just search Believe. That's B-L-E-A-V podcast wherever you listen. Back here on the program. That was a wild segment. That was great. Chris Mannix has arrived.

He will be on the top of next hour, putting things back on the rails a little bit. We got that going for us, which is nice, which is very nice. O'Neill Cruz's home run just hit me in the back of my head. So far, 109 exit.

Be low. Very far. It was high.

It was far. It was gone. Yeah. Rich, what did you watch over the break? Now, we just watched with Susan and I have finished the bear.

I have caught up to the current season of the boys. Nice. All right. All right. So I got a.

Well done. And so what we're only we're only halfway through the current season of the boys, right? Because Amazon puts things out one week at a time. Episode six right now. Is that right?

Wednesday or Sunday. My God, is that show just. Something else. As stunning and shocking and the number of very few shows make me audibly go, whoa.

Like, literally, audibly say that. You got to the killer flying sheep, I assume? No, but he's not in this.

He's not in this season. Oh, thank you for that. Not a spoiler.

Oh, well, actually, no, no, normally, no, no, hold on a second. For many shows, many shows, you could say you get to the killer flying sheep and you're like, come on. But for that show, there's probably just wait. There'll be five more crazy things that happen in the next scene. It really is kind of that wild of a show shows insane. I found a new show called Supercell on Netflix, just randomly the best and laziest way I can describe this.

If you take heroes, mix it with the boys in the wire and you set it in London. It's okay. There we go. Quite a mad lib. Six episodes went through it quick. Apparently there's an online petition that if it doesn't get a season two, people are going to cancel Netflix.

We greatly appreciate it. But for the moment, it's a Monday and you know what that means? B-man with the latest edition of overreaction Monday.

Hit it. It's never going to get old. That was horrible. That was crap.

That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction Mondays Monday.

What's going on, Chris? Not saying hi to you guys. Not asking how your weekend was. Not saying happy Monday. Come on. We didn't come up with B-man. Don't be mad to me. Taking it too far.

Or Del Tufo's labeling machine did. What do you got? Hey, what's up? Everybody good? I'm good. Great. Happy to be back. You know who's great?

No. Iberfluss is great. Iberfluss. Iberfluss is going to win coach of the year. What is going on with coach of the year?

Talk with him. What's happening? What's happening?

Let's do it. Where did this come from? Why? You mean why?

First of all. They're stacked. Dave Williams is going to be sick. Their offense is going to be awesome. They're going to win 10-11 games. Coach of the year. 10 wins won't be coach of the year for him. 11 wins is in the E. He's in the finalist. 12 means he's got a chance. You think that's going to happen for the Bears? Who else could be coach of the year?

Oh, I'll give you. I know you think Jim Harbaugh because he's going to what? Plus eight or whatever you think is that going to happen? Plus seven. Plus seven gives him 12 wins.

They're not going plus seven. Well, I mean, who else could be coach of the year? Mike McCarthy. Why would you just laugh at that? Automatic laugh. Hold on a minute. Just give me a second. Everybody give me a second.

Mike McCarthy's won 12 games the last three years. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. That's true.

Good point. Um, somebody in the NFC South. Raheem Morris.

If they, if they negotiate a very good season here. Dan Quinn. DQ. DQ.

Don't, don't sleep on him. McDonald. Seattle. Iberfluss is going to win coach of the year. That's an overreaction.

Classic overreaction. Jerrod Mayo. Jerrod Mayo has got to win 10, if he wins 10 games.

Honestly, winning six games. What about someone? What about someone? What if the Jets win like 11, 12?

Then you give it to Aaron Rodgers. Oh, right. Is that it? Yeah. Neil Elitrosh. What else? Look, what's today's day? It's July 8th, right?

Yeah. Good one. We're still wondering where Brian Brandon Aiyuk is. He's holding out people. He's not.

Brandon Aiyuk will hold out 49ers. No way. Nope. Hold out of camp.

Yeah. Hold out of camp. I'm not saying he's going to miss week one.

I'm saying he's not, he's not going to training camp. Um, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll buy that. I'll buy that. What's going on with this? What do you mean? What's going on? What's going on?

First off, they're talking. Let me ask you this question. Let me ask you this question. Let me ask you this question. You're John Lynch.

Congratulations. You're in the hall of fame. Hall of fame.

I was a minor league baseball player. Yeah. You got, you got more than that. He's got more on the ball. He's like 50 something.

He's rocked up still. Brandon Aiyuk says, I want to be in the neighborhood, neighborhood within a million of Justin Jefferson. 30 million. He wants 30 million.

No, he wants Justin Jefferson money. That's the market. What do you say? Okay.

Can't do it. So if that's the conversation, then yeah. If the conversation, if he wants 30, then I can kind of understand that too. They're going to have to pay their quarterback 50 and change. No. Brock goes back to the super bowl. Again, we keep asking that question around here. Who's going to be the first annually paid $60 million quarterback. It could very well be Brock Purdy.

It could very well be certainly with how to a mic sign for on the dotted line. And Jordan love this year. Got it. So holding out of training camp, but out of week one, man. Oh man.

That would stun me. If they go out week one, Monday night against the jets, wrap up week one without Aiyuk, they might have no Aiyuk, but if he holds out of training camp, you may not play week one anyway. I'm just saying, did you guys see that?

I don't think this is an overreaction at present. You see the Aiyuk TikTok thing that happened. Which was what? He posted a picture of him watching. Apparently it looks like he's watching Washington commander practice film on his TikTok and that's been going around.

Why is he watching this? Because again, he plays footsie on this front because that's his quarterback. That's his college quarterback. I'm just saying that that's been going around. That's his college.

When he was, when he was saying that the Niners don't want me and posted that he was on a FaceTime with Jayden Daniels. So also you better hope of all people, he doesn't sit out. Cause you know, the circumstances, if that happens, you've got to miss the whole year.

I'm still very confident. I will triple down on that. You can add another Del Tufo article of clothing. Whoa, Rich, don't do it. Dangerous game, right?

It's not even worth it. What else? You know, who's back this year? Joe Burrow's back this year.

Who's that? Oh man, he's talking to the big cat and PFT. You say he's back. You mean there's open back on. Yes, he's back and he's open back.

Open back. Joe Burrow, top five MVP this season. I don't think that's an overreaction at all. Joe Burrow said, Hey, when you're injured, people forget about you. They do.

I'm going to make them not forget. Would he be a comeback player of the year? An MVP? Good question.

I think so, right? Cause he qualifies. He missed because of injury. Dude, they changed the rule. They're telling people not to vote for dudes who just coming back from the bench and their couch. What rule? Who's changing the rules?

Who is? The AP are telling people, Hey, look, I wouldn't know because I worked for the NFL and therefore, you know, the AP says I'm too biased because I'm going to vote for who Roger Goodell thinks should win it. Yeah. Everybody knows that, Rick.

Everyone knows that. Don't vote for the couch and the bench guys. Don't they know that me and Brockman even get notes that they can't say, dude, dude, I don't know where Joe, this is a Joe Burrow zone.

The rich eyes and show, you know, that almost when he's going to win it, but see now that's come on. Why wouldn't you go so bold? And I see you got soft in the dark week, man. I hate you.

Change the music belly or change the music. All right. Cold baseball ones here. Look, we love small schemes. He's got to start the all star game. What are we doing? The all star game, all star game. What are we doing?

All right. No one. No one knows who cares about Ranger Suarez or any of these other dudes who care. Glass now has been lit up the last couple of starts. We want the guy with the stash. We've living done behind home plate. Let's go. Oh, come on. Yeah, come on. So you're talking about the whole package.

Yeah, the whole schemes package. 102 Brockman. Three up on the back.

Let's go. So the fact that Otani needs to be out there. We need to see Skeens versus Otani. Do we lead off the all star?

You haven't seen that. I now see now that I was assuming this. I was assuming this. So who's leading off for the AL?

No, no, no, no. Judge to lead off. I was assuming this.

And now it's kind of backed up. You just don't want to talk Chris Sale because the Red Sox let him walk. So we traded for a guy who doesn't even play. Why would you? Genius of ownership. Why would you not start Chris Sale? Because Skeens is better. Dude, Chris Sale has been amazing.

Chris Sale is amazing, but he hasn't captured. No, I know. You know, and know what? Nobody's like going to sit down and watch Aaron Nolo or Rangers.

That's kind of the point. Like, great. The Phillies guys want eyeballs. You want to respect the first half performances of guys who deserve to hand out. Where's y'all start getting this to Texas, right? I want him to hand out fake mustaches. And everyone in the crowd is wearing stashes and going nuts. And then he goes 102 to judge. What are we doing?

Yeah, I'll buy that. Nine pitches averaging 101 miles per hour. Three up, three down.

Let's go. So Aaron Judge should start as well. Yeah. I mean throwing. Oh, throwing. Who wouldn't want to watch him throw?

Speaking of Aaron Judge, the Yankees are wasting Aaron Judge's greatness. All right, this guy. This guy. B-Man didn't come to play. By the way, honestly, honestly, defend against this.

How could you say they're not? Have I missed all the Aaron Judge World Series appearances? Hold on a minute. They went and added Juan Soto.

They did win 50 of their first, like, 75. Juan Soto. Like, they're wasting Judge right now.

Grimace will see that. Wasting Judge. Dude, they're going through a bad three week stretch. Yeah, but this happens every single year. Well, it has over the last two, three years.

Every single year this happens. So, I mean, let's see what happens. Let's see what happens when Stanton comes back. We'll see what happens when the rest of their roster gets healthy. We'll see what happens. Strikeouts.

That's what's going to happen with Stanton. All right. Okay. I'm pulling for it.

I like Aaron Judge. I want to see him play. Here we go. When you see some of these clips from Euro qualifying.

Sure. Oh my God. When he's taking France to the gold medal game, TJ.

Why wouldn't he? In the Olympics. I told you on draft night. Is Gobert on the team? Yeah. And he makes Gobert look like Muggsy Bogues.

Have you seen them two standing next to each other? Is Nick Batum on this team too? Who's else on France?

Nico should be on the squad. Who else on France? Well, half the draft was from France. That's why I'm like, in two Olympics from now, France is winning the gold medal. You know who's not on France's team is Le Pen.

How's that for a little political conversation? Is that the French version of LeBron? Definitely not. Most certainly not.

I don't know. Sure. I'm not going to push back on this one. I think we need one more. Okay. All right. We'll get one. Did you watch Copa America while we were gone? I did. Team USA sucks. Okay.

They're terrible. Greg Berhalter, you're out. I don't even know his name. Greg Berhalter out. Great point.

He's not out yet though, but he should be. Anybody who should take over, they're free. Bill Belichick and Nick Saban should coach Team USA. You want guaranteed results? The two greatest winners in football history. By the way, never thought in a million years, Brockman would A, want to talk about soccer and B, would put Belichick and Saban in the role of Ted Lasso.

It makes sense. Full Ted Lasso. It's not going to get any worse. Bill Lasso and Nick Lasso. It's not getting any worse.

Long-lost brothers of Ted Lasso. Dickie's got a point. You want to avoid embarrassment at the World Cup here in America? Belichick, Saban, let's go. B, leave. Great overreaction Monday.

B, leave. Seriously, eyeballs. You want eyeballs? I know everyone's going to watch the World Cup. So Belichick and Saban take over Team USA soccer. Take over Team USA. Guaranteed win the World Cup. Who's going against these guys?

By the way, I also watched... Do you think Trent Crum will be alright with you? England, Switzerland, for the right to get to the Euro Cup semifinals. And it went to penalty kicks, which is, as you know, the ultimate bugaboo for England.

That's like literally having the Super Bowl, though, decided by field goals. Yeah, it's a rough way to decide something. It's rough.

But it is truly one of the most exhilarating things you can watch. And they survived. They moved on. But they moved on.

But we know they're not going to win Euro. I don't know. Who the hell knows, man? Greg Sockertop.

I got like 80 years of it. Says the guy, if you should take over, Marv Levy should be the coach. Honestly. Okay. Get Saban and Belichick out there.

You don't think they could win the World Cup? You're crazy. Hey, if you think Greg Berhalter is not any good, wait till Joe Judge gets his hands on Pulisic. Be great. Oh, you think Bill's just going to be Joe Judge and Patricia. Matt Patricia. Patricia.

He'll be involved in whatever part of the operation. Come on. Nick Falls just threw another touchdown. Dude, you can't use your hands on this guy.

This guy over there. Chris Mannix about to come out here. Hour three in your phone calls.

Welcome to Talkville. The Ultimate Smallville Rewatch Podcast. Season four. I'm glad that it's over. I'm glad that it's over. As we know now that season five is supposed to be one of our better seasons. Obviously the tattoo storyline. You know how I feel about that. You hating that storyline brought me a lot of joy because I kept waiting to see how it was going to keep going and then how they would somehow settle it. Binge seasons one through four of Talkville before season five begins wherever you listen.
