Tyrus discusses his experiences as a black conservative on Fox News, the impact of racism and the media's portrayal of him, and his thoughts on the Super Bowl and NFL. He also talks about his equestrian daughter and her experiences at Beacon Hill Show Stables, and his own life after football, including his golf game and his son's baseball career.

Uh I'm a little too tall for it, but I'm in for Brian Kilmead. And you got me for the entire radio show. I'm really excited to be here. And, you know, a special shout out to Brian and his staff for giving me this awesome opportunity.

So, we're going to talk about a lot of things. Obviously, the top of every mind is that Super Bowl that just went down. But just before we get into all that, I feel like. There's probably an elephant in the room besides me. For those of you who saw Fox and Friends, saw that I went pretty hard on.

Kill me based off of some of the things that he basically gave me an opportunity. I don't apparently I'm his patagon now. I'm his I'm under his wing, and it's a small wing, you know, but he's still, you know, his resume is second to none. But, you know, he he Basically, he asked me to fill in for him also at the Super Bowl at the honor at the NFL honors, where they, you know, they named the MVP and the man at the Walter Payton Man of the Year and all these great awards. And he's like, Yeah, you're going to do the red carpet.

And I didn't quite understand exactly what he meant by that, but I was very clear when I said, like, wait, this isn't a thing where like you stand with the media and when people walk by, be like, hey, can I talk to you? Because I don't want to do that. That's not my thing. And frankly, I'm too big for that. It's just, it's weird when you're, you know, six, seven and a half and 360 pounds, and you're standing there sweating in the red carpet, and little people come by, and some of them don't want to talk to you.

It's like you want to snatch them up and grab them and be like, hey, why don't you want to talk to me? You know, so, but his people informed me that it was not like that. It was 1,000% like that. But luckily for me, I found out that I'm very popular with the celebrities.

So I had a lot of old school. The new school guys coming up to me, so I really didn't have to do the hey, I'm Tyrus from Fox and Friends, come talk to me. The only person that ran for me was Terry Cruz, and I have no problem with that because I don't like Terry Cruz.

So that was fine. And no shade there, it's mutual.

So, you know, that was the only one. It was like weird where he was standing there and they're like, hey, you want to talk? I said, I don't want to talk to him unless he wants to talk to me. And then he just did like this move, like, oh, no, no, no, no, I don't, you know, because that was one thing that was funny also is that the media is still mad at Fox for being number one. Like when you're number one and you're surrounded by the twos and fews, they have a certain attitude where they just kind of look at you like that mean girls thing.

They won't say anything to you, especially when your biggest representative is there. But they give little looks and snarls and eye rolls and all those fancy things that they like to do because uh, you know. Fox News is kicking button taking names, but uh I digress to the Super Bowl. Super Bowl was exactly what I said it would be. And for those of you who were on X at all before they saw my prediction, where I said it was 37, 13 Eagles, and I said that Saquon would have the MVP, but.

Uh no one else predicted a blowout. And I did just that. And then, of course, in garbage time, they messed up the number. It ended up being, I think it was 40, 22. But.

Irregardless, I predicted a blowout and I was accurate in that.

So I'm on fire right now with my predictions. I'm not ready to call myself Tyrus Nadamis yet, but it's getting close. I predicted the World Series. As you know, I predicted Donald Trump's landslide, monumental. Presidential election weeks, months before it got there, and then I predicted the Super Bowl.

So, right now, a lot of people are wondering: how much money did I make betting? The answer is zero.

So Here's the deal with me. If I bet 50 cents on any prediction that I make, it will not happen. It will not happen. It's Murphy's law with me. If long as I don't bet, I got a pretty good chance of my premonition coming.

True.

So it's an oxymoron for me. But if I make a prediction, I don't want to tell you how to spend your hard-earned money or crypto, but I would probably think about putting a coin or two on a Tyrus prediction. Right now, I'm on a hot streak. How long is it going to last? We don't know.

But Hot Streak, nonetheless, was the Philadelphia Eagles. And although. Saquon Barkley was not the MVP. He was the reason why Philadelphia was able to do what they did because Kansas City basically said, Saquon's not going to beat us. They kept 11 in the box and they forced one-on-one or really wide zone coverage.

For those of you who know big football, man-to-man coverage is when it's literally what it says: man-to-man. And zone coverage is when they all cover an area.

Well, you can't go man to man with Brown and Sanders on each side because they're both Pro Bowl wide receivers.

So you got to you got to the safety's got to honor them, so which leaves the middle of the field wide open. And then, of course, Hertz is a run threat.

So They were so focused on stopping Saquon that everything else opened up, and the Eagles took advantage of it. And the Chiefs just never, defensively, never got out of that. That box where they're like, he's not going to beat us. They were that concerned about Saquon Bob. And rightfully so.

He had the greatest year a running back has ever had in the history of the NFL.

So the Super Bowl. Was a old school blowout. And I think if we could run number one and give you some highlights of those, you can get all that stuff started, and then I'll break it down for you a little more. Hurts on the sneak. Pyle drives his way in.

Touchdown. Third and 16. Holmes roll out. Fiery. Intercepted, picked up by Cooper Dazine, gets a block, Dazine, and Yeah.

And touchdown. Hurts lets it go. Complete AJ Brown. He's in. Touchdown.

Eagles.

Now the Eagles get it back. Looking to run some clock or maybe throw the dagger. Hurts going deep. Four and all. Devontae Smith.

Hey! He has got it! Touchdown! The homes wasting away from him. Throws on the run across his body.

It is caught for the touchdown. Worthy. For the second time, the Vince Lombardi trophy is headed to Philadelphia. Eagles fly in Super Bowl 59. You know The crowd reaction, it didn't, they kept saying it was a neutral crowd in the Super Bowl.

It did not feel like that. I think Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have been so good for so long. They've got that Ric Flair status to where everybody wants to beat them. You know, to be the man, you got to beat the man.

So, and the way they did it this entire season, where everybody thought they were going to be in the man until about 30 seconds left to go in the game, and either it was a great play or. I uh I'll be polite, a ticky-tack flag in some cases, but you just, it drove you crazy. I'm a Patriots fan, so did I have vested interest in this? A scoach, you know, Mahomes is already the greatest winning quarterback, probably of all time. But, you know, you want to let Brady hold on to a couple of things.

And Brady was present there. I don't think he was too heartbroken that some people are saying this was the worst performance of a quarterback in the history of the Super Bowl. But, you know, Philly just came out and just punched them in the mouth, as we like to say, for those of us who played the game. They didn't do anything crazy. Their front four just beat up their front five, and Mahomes and them couldn't react.

And as I was watching the game go down, I'm like, football is very simple in its complexity. If you're going to win a football game, you have to control the line of scrimmage. The NFL is full of. Monster star. These guys are 1% of 1%.

That means every quarterback to the backup quarterback has been a star somewhere or another. And if you brought them into like a flag football league, the company flag football league, they'd throw for t set 10,000 yards, 400 touchdowns, like they would just be unbelievable. The difference in the NFL between and it's a very thin line between good and great and passable is how much time they have to throw the ball. When a guy has time, when a quarterback has time, he will cut you up. And I don't care how great the quarterback is.

If he has no time, and especially in the NFL, as fast as it is and as hard hitting as it is, How good your arm is, what reads you make is irrelevant. And that's what we saw the entire game. And the way that it worked was, and then when Philadelphia got on the field, they stayed committed to the run game, even though Saquon was only getting twos and fews. But because they consistently stayed with it, Kansas City had to respect it. And he still ended up, I think he ended up with almost 100 yards in total offense.

So Saquon had a good showing for himself, but he was the focus, and you just never saw Kansas City change. And as that game continued to go, and you were just waiting for the Mahomes show, and it just never, it never really materialized. And I think. Probably the fans didn't care. Like, usually, when there's a blowout, there's a letdown.

You know, the crowd kind of starts getting into the food, or everyone starts leaving early. Nobody left anywhere. Everybody wanted to see the Chiefs get their butts kicked. And I think that was, and that's just the ultimate respect. Like when the New England Patriots, everybody wanted to see the Patriots get beat when they had a dynasty.

And anytime there was like when the Lakers were number one, when the Celtics were number one, when Detroit, whenever you're the top of your profession, everybody wants to see you go down. But no one, I think, expected this game to go the way it did with the exception of myself and probably some wishful die-hard Eagle fans. But it was a great Super Bowl. It was also a microcosm of where the world's at now. Like I was saying before we started the show today, apparently I'm a celebrity.

And I picked the worst time in history to become a celebrity because nobody likes celebrities anymore. Especially at sporting events. And politics.

So, to show the thing, Taylor Swift, biggest star on the planet, you know, wrote every song that every ex-boyfriend in the world never wants to hear. She gets booed. Right. And of course, I think that had a lot to do with the fact there was a lot of Philly fans there. But.

Irregardless, she got booed. President Trump? Place goes nuts. I mean, I think that's just where we're at. in this country right now to where it is just not cool to be a celebrity anymore.

Celebrities come on. I don't know if you want to get endorsements from celebrities anymore because I don't think it has the same effect. We saw it had absolutely little impact at all in the election. And we're starting to see now when you scan a football game or a basketball game, and one of the guys was bringing up today like the Yankees game, and they're showing random celebrities, and everyone's like, Who the hell is that? And why am I not seeing the field right now?

So, I think the biggest thing that we are seeing is this evolution where America is getting back to Americans. And you know what? As a celebrity, I have no problem with that. I think that's cool, and less pictures I got to take.

So, I think it's a beautiful thing that we're seeing America getting back to being American where everybody is a somebody and pull your own weight, do your own thing. And just because your job has a camera in front of it doesn't make you some holy figure or some know-it-all or whatever, even though there are certain individuals like that. It's a short list, but I might throw myself on that one. But, anyways, uh.

So, this has been our first little bit of playing around with Tyrus. I'm excited to be here, and we'll be back after a few messages. Both sides, all opinions, it's Brian Killmead.

It's Brian Killmead. It's it's Tyrus in for Brian Kilmead and If I could just go on some more about, I could talk football all day.

I'm excited about this, and I want to get some of the comments from the coaches and the quarterbacks and whatnot. I thought the head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, his emotion was a good thing, and it was good to see all that. Tyris? Yes. We got a call, line four.

Ingrid? What? Line four Ingrid. Oh.

Okay. Hello? Hello? Yes. Hi, honey.

I'm I'm working. But you're working. Why did you leave so early this morning? I told you that I was doing the Brian Killmead show. I'm filling in for Brian.

He asked me to fill in for him. I don't see you. On T V? No, it's uh I'm on the radio. But you can go to Fox Nation for the live streaming if you really need to know.

But I'm on the radio that you clearly.

Okay. Well, obviously it's not live, so I mean just. You can go back to recording later. Uh it it's not. I'm working.

What do you is there something? I just feel like after you made fun of his forehead on national TV the other day and you threatened to beat him up a couple weeks ago, he asked you to fill in on his radio show. Like, I just, I don't know. It doesn't, and then I don't see you on there.

So it just doesn't sound believable.

Okay. Brian and I are buddies. This is what guys do. We joke around. Like, I really didn't like it.

I don't think he likes you. Why would he not like me? I'm nice. I'm not rude. Listen, what I didn't make up.

Okay, first of all, I think just for the. You know I'm working. I did not invent TV. I didn't invent. The little guy with big forehead comment that was made by somebody at the red carpet.

So all I was doing. Was letting him know how he was being described to me.

So if you look at anything, I was just the messenger. And there's that old saying: you don't kill the messenger. I decided. I don't feel like you should necessarily be making fun of his forehead. But anyway, I just was trying to find out where you were.

this morning since you left so early. What time are you going to be done today? It's going to be a long day. I'm going to be here all day. I'll be here, and I got to film Gutfeld tonight.

So it's going to be a long day. You know what? Don't you have a long day? What do you have going on? What's up next for you?

Instead of calling me at work.

Okay. Well, you could have like told me that you were going to be on the radio and leave early, first of all. I literally told you that every day this weekend.

Well, I wasn't listening. But okay, um today I have a hair appointment. Oh.

I have a nail appointment. I finished working out. Georgie worked out. I have to book a few more of your shows. Like I have a lot of stuff coming up for the fall.

I found a really good city in Athens, Georgia, a really good city in Lakewood, Ohio, Walhalla, South Carolina. We're going to go back there, I'm pretty sure.

So I mean, I have a lot to do. I have to call it a little bit more.

Okay, well, at least I can turn this around. I can turn this around. Those shows are for what? I can turn this into a plug, at the very least.

Okay, these are for the Tyrus Live stand-up comedy shows that you are the manager or CFO, depending on your mood that day. Of my shows, you do all the bookings, and so you line up the tour. How is the tour looking?

Well, I mean, the tour always does so well, thanks to me, that we already are booking for our next tour when we still have like a whole half a year left to this current tour. But I mean, they just sell out really, really fast since I work really hard and do this all day. I mean, somebody does have to actually work and not play. I'm a learned journalist today for the great Brian Kilmead on the Brian Kilmead show. This isn't entry-level position.

This is next-level stuff here. And like I said, I told you all weekend, and it's nice to know that the entire infrastructure of the Tyrus Live. Stand-up comedy show is not, in fact, my talent or my jokes, but yet my wife who builds it, is basically what you are saying. Millions and millions of people today, basically.

So if anything. I mean, I didn't tell millions and millions of people that I'm telling you that.

Okay, but you understand that, like, this is not my cell phone. We are on the radio show. Why would you answer your cell phone and the radio? No, I didn't. I'm just.

Just cut it out. Just take just don't just. Cut it out. I'm sure it's prerecorded. It's not.

Ugh.

Okay. Um before I have always told everyone that you have a face for radio. I'm always telling people that.

Okay, that's all right, listen. Ask anyone. I say that all the time.

Okay, I'm literally going to ask you with a thumbs up.

Okay, I got two thumbs up. Um is there anything I could do to improve my face for T V or am I pretty much set? Yeah, I mean, you have a nice face for TV, but I've just always said you have a face for radio. Like, it's one of the compliments I always give when people ask me about you and like how your career is going and everything. Wow.

Thank you. I have a face for radio.

Well, I'm manifesting it. Like, I'm saying it out loud. And look, you're manifesting that I'm ugly. That's awesome. Thank you so much for stopping by.

I'm sure you have to get you many appointments. And again, this is Tyrus. Not humiliated by his wife, filling in for the Brian Killmead Show. We'll be back after I talk to Dr. Drew.

The more you listen, the more you'll know it's Brian Killmead. There's been some reporting that upset that there haven't been more deportations from Claire Farnine. I think they're doing an incredible job. It's very tough, but deportations, finding murderers. This is not easy.

Some of them are actually very smart. They shouldn't be in our country. They wouldn't have been. We had beautiful, you know, we just set records. Foreclosure.

We have the the strongest border we've had in many years since My term. But even maybe even for many, many years, decades before that. Uh no, what uh They uh they're doing an amazing job.

Well, there was the president, just keeping it real. I love how they always try to ask him questions that try to get him off, and he's always. Very good at correcting. But there is a lot of talk about what's going on in immigration, and I, for one, uh, This is what I voted for. This is what I wanted to see.

ICE is working at a high level and we're getting the bad doers out. But I think also we need to look at the other side of immigration and the the small businesses and businesses and the ones who are doing it the right way. And the path to citizenship For those who are being vetted, who are coming into this country to work. And we're seeing that a lot with, you know, the lottery and a lot of of businesses that use it. and they're penalized, and it makes it very difficult for them in a lot of cases to continue.

And then they get great workers, but then when their time is up, they can't keep them because it takes too long for them to get citizenship.

So one of the things I think we should also look at In this administration is rewarding those who have been doing it the right way. And what I'm talking about: that is, my daughter, my youngest daughter, Georgie, she rides, she's an equestrian horseback rider. And she was given the opportunity to train at Beacon Hill Show Stable. And one of the things in getting to know the owner, Stacia Klein Madden, was that I noticed a lot of grooms. And what the grooms are is these are the men and women who get the horses ready.

And they know the horses like the back of the hand. And listen, these. Anyone who's a horse dad out there knows what I'm about to say. These horses are the most pampered SOBs on the planet. I mean, they've got an acupuncturist, a hoof a puncturist, they get massages, they got psychiatrists, they have the finest foods in all the land, nothing but the best heated stalls, treadmills, jacuzzis.

Like these are the most pampered animals on the planet, very expensive. But the men who get them ready, who tack them, take care of them, train them. It is a skill. It is a tough job, but a great job. You need to know what you're doing.

And it's a job that, for some reason, Americans don't seem to be very interested in.

So I'm going to bring her on in just a second, but just to give you a little bit of background.

So One of the things that I found amazing was that those who do the The previous administration Almost made it. Harder. For businesses to do it the right way. The rules were, they pushed the rules so hard, like one small infraction, something as silly as like one of the things they have to do is they have to have the offer the job to Americans first.

So they will have, they'll put ads out. And if they don't keep the ad out long enough, and again, if you've been running this, if you've been in this business for 10 plus years or decade or whatever, and you've never had. Any kind of consistent interest, you know when you're running that ad You have the experience to know, hey, listen, it's been up for three weeks. We've got no calls, no resumes submitted. There's a chance that there aren't going to be any more coming in.

So you could get fined up to $15,000. These are businesses that have to pay this stuff.

So. And it almost pushes businesses to take the The And I'm trying to say this the right way. They want the undocumented worker. Because it's cheaper. And it's easier to hide.

But then you have unvetted people working with And let's equestrian is a woman-dominated sport. And it is little girls, and daughters, and wives, and sisters.

So, the one place you want vetting in any business, you want to be able to vet. And again, the people that are coming from other countries to do these jobs work their butts off. Excuse me. And after five years, you'd like to see a clear path to citizenship or they could go home for a year and come back. But you'd like to see a reward for those who have been doing it right given The amount of pressure The amount of numbers of illegals coming in and undocumented workers that for some reason this previous administration seemed to support more than supporting people who are trying to do it the right way.

So again, and of course, I'm going to probably talk about all things equestrian and hopefully get a discount at some point. Good morning, Stacia. Thank you so much for joining us. Good morning, Tyrus. How are you?

I am phenomenal. I am living the dream. And thank you so much for joining us. And I don't know if I was giving him just kind of a synopsis. Just we hear so much negativity about immigration, and I really think your story and what you what you're trying to do and you're speaking up for businesses all across this country, trying to do something positive with those who are doing the right things.

So I'm a small business owner. I can have anywhere between twenty five twenty to twenty five employees. And I've got my staff of assistant trainers that help me. But the really core of the business is the caretakers of the horses and the equestrian community. When I did some research, it said there were twenty five million people in the United States that participated in equestrian events.

And just in our USCF equestrian world, it says that there was four point six million people that have businesses related to horses. And I think that's without the racetrack industry. And somebody's got to take care of these living, breathing animals. And it's a hard job, but people are very passionate about it. And Probably the biggest struggle in my business is Everybody's passionate about their work, but how do we make sure that the horses are properly cared for?

through the years, I'm always trying to keep my eyes open and my mouth closed and learn a lot. And I was introduced to this H two B visa system when I was struggling with how to have enough staff to care for these wonderful animals. And I was lucky enough that we were be able to work with a Immigration lawyer that was very patient and gave me an understanding of it, and I had to hire. kind of a full time person to be able to walk me through the process of it. It is not perfect.

It has allowed me to have some Really unbelievable, passionate people. I think the biggest thing that people don't understand about the H2B visa system, because it is seasonal. is most Americans, when they're looking for job, they're looking for job security. And they're looking to be able to build something where they can keep getting promoted and promoted and kind of build in their job. And you know, when you're a caretaker of a horse, they're getting promoted within me as far as I'm loving the care that they're taking care of the horse and they're gonna get to take care of top horses.

But they're liking to work for a period of time and then be able to. you know, go back to their family and that has worked for me except for The lottery system has gotten very difficult because there's only two filing times that you can file during the year. And one of the filing numbers has it's just unbelievable the the difference if you file in the first set of Dates. I'm just trying to get my numbers here for you. If you file for the January first to the third period, There were 8,759 applications.

to cover one hundred and forty nine thousand workers. Wow. And there was only going to be thirty three thousand spots available. But if you filed in the April window, There was 2,158 covering 44,238 workers, and they were going to accept 33,000.

So there's only two filing times and most businesses don't always fall within those parameters of being able to I mean it hurts my head just hearing you Break down the complexity. I mean, the fact that you have to hire someone just to walk you through the steps. I think there's got to be a streamlined. a better way to do this. And also at the same time, there should be rewards for businesses, tax credits.

I mean, I'm just thinking off the top of my head, but for doing it the right way. Because One, and I could speak to this personally: you run a tight ship. I mean, you do not mess around. And You want to see rewards for those who are doing the right thing. At the same time, when you're hearing it, you have 108,000 jobs available.

And you're only getting a third of them filled. That to me in itself is a problem. Uh it should be, I think, the other way around. You should have a a pool. This should be almost the ability to bring in exactly what you need for the job at hand for the times you need it, correct?

Yeah, you know, I spoke to my immigration partner at length trying to figure out, you know, because he's a professional in this, I'm really an equestrian coach. I don't specialize in immigration. I'm only knowledgeable to how it affects me at this moment. But he really feels that the cap of this 33,000 that's allotted twice a year hasn't been changed in years. And he's really not sure what the necessity of the cap is.

It would be a radical departure to get rid of the cap. It would take congressional approval, but. Where did they come up with the number 33,000 workers, and that's all that's allowed through the H2B visa system? that's the workers that haven't been counted as they enter the United States. Why do we need that cap would be my biggest question.

When they go through this vetting process of having their counselate appointment. and having somebody sponsor them like a business like mine. They're coming over here, they're in the system, they're paying taxes, they're able to get a driver's license. and I'm withholding their taxes.

So they're really in the system. And they want to pay taxes, they want to work, they want to do it the right way, and they, in my opinion, because they're they're doing this for a period of time and going home, they're I don't think they are taking jobs away from the American people because I do have to run an ad. It is online. Anybody can see it. It's not something that's hidden.

It's something that's on the Department of Labor website.

So and I don't usually get any applications. And And that's not A terrible thing, but it makes me believe that the people that want to do these jobs, we should be allowing them because they're passionate about it. And this could work. And I have a sneaking suspicion. This is not just the equestrian world.

I would willing to bet if I was talking to somebody in agriculture or somebody who was in a meatpacking plant or a fat, they would be saying the same exact thing.

So I mean, you're right. There are different types of visas. There's a P1, which is for athletes and entertainers. There's a B1, which is for commercial professionals and businesses. There's the H-1B, which is for college educated and bachelor degrees and higher, and then there's H-2A, which is really for agriculture, but it's for farms and crop picking.

And even though I'm a show jumping farm, I don't fall in the parameters of agriculture.

So I have to work in the H2B side of things, which is called non-agriculture, which is kind of everyone else that doesn't fit into those other groups. And it's It's My my business is very specific. And it doesn't really fit into any of these groups.

So, there should be some leniency because, I mean, you don't want to be in a situation where like you're randomly growing hay just to try, because that's what ends up happening: businesses, unlike yourself, sometimes business owners end up taking shortcuts because of all the red tape and all the filing. And, you know, not everyone's going to go out and get a specialist to help them walk through. But anyone who has, like I said, my daughter has the privilege of training under you. And, you know, it's funny because when I come to the shows, because right now my daughter is competing with Beacon Hill down in Wellington, Florida. And, you know, when I recently came down there to see her, I thought there'd be more pressure on her because, you know, dad's there.

But it was like, oh, no, no, Mystacia, she's coming to watch. And, you know, and it's just, you know, and it's, but that, that, hey, but as a guy who played, who was coached in football, basketball, and a bevy of sports, Wanting to the approval of your coach when you have a good coach is almost more important than sometimes than dad giving you a thumbs up. But if we're being, if we're telling the truth, I'm thumbs up even when it's bad. They're very allegiant to their coaches, but it's not going to be too long before you're just going to be the dad of Georgie. Yes.

That's how you're going to be known. Yes, yeah.

Well, also the guy who cheers louder than he's supposed to. I'm still learning all the nuances of a horse dad's life. The one thing I did not know was acting, because to me, there's no difference than Jason Tatum hitting the three in Boston Garden than my daughter landing a jump. Like, it's the same reaction: it's a yes, a big clap, you know, and a fist pump. And, you know, I look at the other dads, I'm like, come on, man.

Like, we should all be cheering. And, you know, because it's such a. Great sport. And I'm learning it as I go. And you as a as a father, seeing your child grow and work ethic developing and showing like she's taking horse anatomy classes and You know, and she's she's all she wants to do is spend time with horses.

And it's just been a really, really wonderful experience. I would argue to any dad, not just daughters, but there's something special about the equestrian world with daughters. I think my favorite thing about it is they don't have time to date. Because they've got to ride horses. Is that the first time I've heard that?

No, it won't be the last. And hopefully, I can continue to say that for the next 10 years or so.

So. I think uh And talking about this and getting out there, I guarantee you that we had a viewer or listener tonight that can 1,000% relate to what you were saying. I appreciate you coming on and talking about this. And I know you are in the middle of a competitive season. This is your season right now.

So, what do you got coming up? What are you looking forward to? Every time you turn around, every time I look on Instagram for Beacon Hill, I'm seeing you guys first in this, winning this. Like, you guys are just dominant, and it's really exciting to be a part of. You know, we've got a lot of short-term goals and long-term goals.

We're down here in Wellington, Florida right now competing. We'll be here through mid-April. And, you know, the rest of the summer is going to be kind of a product of where we end up in Florida and what kind of goals our customers have. But we're excited. We've got a good group of young riders, we've got a good group of horses, and we've got a great staff.

You're just a great group. And this has been Stacey Klein Madden of Beacon Hill Show Stables. And this is Tyrus filling in for Brian Killmee. If you're interested in it, Brian's talking about it. You're with Brian Kilmead.

What it is, as you know, it is not Brian Kilneed. It is Tyrus, no last name needed. Uh and it has been It has been an amazing weekend for me. Like I said, I got all the to go to all the pageantry to see, and I got a chance to go back to the great. State of Louisiana that I called home for over 10 years and I miss.

And it was nice to do the red carpet, and it was really nice when you hear Flavor Flav yell Tyrus across the red carpet and running up and came and let you know that he's watching Fox. That was one thing for me on a personal level that this Super Bowl weekend. I cannot tell you as a black man how many brothers came up to me and everyone's all out in the open now and everyone's excited about I voted for Trump and I got to NFL legends Lawrence Taylor, Marcus Allen, just to name a few, Andre Reid. And they were like, oh, we watch you all the time, Tyrus. And I was like, where the hell have all you brothers been?

But Lawrence Taylor said it best. He said, You ran through the forest, you got a bunch of scratches, and now the trees are cut down, and we've been here the whole time. And I was like, I guess that makes me feel better. But it was a great weekend, great win. Congratulations, Jayla Hurts.

And this is Tyrus. From the Fox News Radio Studios in Midtown Manhattan, it's the fastest growing radio talk show. Brian. Kill mead. And and and boy has it grown.

From Kilmead's height to Tyrus, filling in for the great Brian Kilmead. We're definitely doing it bigger today. Joining me shortly will be Michael Gawin, New York Post columnist. And I'm going to talk to him about all things Doge for a little bit. Michael, are you with us?

Try it. I am Trev. Thank you, Tyrus. Good morning, good sir. I'm going to roll a little Trump and the esteemed Brett Baer, although his golf game needs work.

But he dresses great for it. But when it comes to an interview, I don't think anyone does it better.

So if you could roll number nine for me, I'd love to get your reaction to this. 19 states attorneys general filed a lawsuit and early Saturday a judge agreed with them to restrict Elon Musk and his government efficiency team Doge from accessing Treasury Department payment and data systems. They said there was a risk of irreparable harm. What do you make of that? And does that slow you down on what you want to do?

I disagree with it 100%. I think it's crazy. And we have to solve the efficiency problem. We have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse, all the things that have gone into the government. You take a look at the USAID, the kind of fraud in there.

Absolutely. Stunning to hear their reason was, I found laughable, was that irreparable harm would be done to those who've been committing fraud 1,000%.

Well, I think it also goes to the the powers of the president. Uh I I mean, the Constitution sets up the Office of the President as a unique authority within the system of uh th the three branches. And These are all Uh Presidential agencies, the commerce, the interior, I mean, all of these.

So the idea that The president or the people he designates don't have the right To look at the books, as it were, is crazy on its face. And as I understand the ruling, It happened on Friday night. Um The president's side was not really given a chance to respond. It was in an emergency appeal, according to the 19 Attorneys General. And it happened on Friday night, so that it would stop it over the weekend.

The president's team didn't have a chance to. Argue, my understanding is, and then for the judge to just. Fly in the face. I mean, it's a really radical idea that the President of the United States cannot look at the books. I mean, that's an extraordinary thing, but it just goes to show how How radical the resistance is, and it's taking shape.

In the courts this time. Better the courts than the streets and Congress so far, but it is crazy once again, and it's the sort of thing that Democrats have done only because it's Donald Trump. You know, my kids would say it's sus. It's very sus what's going on, which is short for suspect, which isn't a really long word to say, so I don't really understand the sus thing, but I'm trying to be hip. You know, to your.

To acknowledge what you just said, because I refuse to say to your point. But to acknowledge I'm tired of that too. Oh, man, it's just, oh, who started it? But we need to stop it, and it stops here today. I'm filling in from Brian, and the one thing I'm going to stop is to your points.

I will acknowledge your brilliance. Let me play something else for you because I just want you to. There's so much pushback, right? But then when Doge is doing exactly what they said they were going to do and finding just incredible amounts of millions of dollars in fraud, if we could roll number 10, I'd love for you to hear this and get your reaction.

Well, we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money that's going to places where it shouldn't be going. Where if I read a list, you'd say this is ridiculous. And you've read the same lists, and there are many that you haven't even seen. It's crazy. It's a big scam.

But it's just It's shocking that the resistance at all, like, if anything. And let me just pose this to you. Why is it that their answer to everything is never another solution or another idea? It's just absolute opposition. Yeah, I mean, I think that's the politics of it, right?

That they can't really negotiate with Trump. They can't see. Sit down with him. I mean, his first term, all of those issues, the big say the big tax bill, not a single Democratic vote and not even a negotiation.

So It's the way the Democrats have chosen to respond to Donald Trump. They've treated him as though he's illegitimate from the beginning. And to this day, we could say something seems to be shaping up just like that again. But look, as you pointed out, not to your point, but as you pointed out, and we'll use it as a verb, that's okay. I'm with that.

That these were things he campaigned on and When you think about what are the Democrats defending waste, fraud, and abuse. Yes. Yes, yes. I mean what and we shouldn't ever forget that This money is borrowed money. right, the the feds are running a deficit this year, this current fiscal year, of one point nine trillion dollars.

And because of various factors, built-in, mandatory spending, interest rates, whatever, it's now leapfrogging. each year is going to grow significantly.

So is it really okay for to borrow money to put taxpayers on the hook, really to jeopardize our powers in the world, the the currency, et cetera? Is it okay to borrow that money and then insist That it can never be trimmed. That everything that's in the budget has to be the starting point for the next budget. It's crazy. I mean, you've really got to strip it down.

You've got to weed out the things. I mean, I don't know whether you garden or not, but every gardener knows you need to prune, right? That things look better when they're pruned as opposed to just growing topsy-turvy. That's what the government's budget has been doing, just growing topsy-turvy. Nobody ever prunes.

This is a pruning. It's necessary to make it make sense. And listen, if the word prune offends people, then we could just say grooming, okay? Because I'm not going to let my beard grow all the way to my lap and show up to work and not cut my hair, what's left of it. I'm going to.

Groomed to make it look to be the best me, I gotta get rid of the stuff that doesn't fit anymore. I'm gonna play there, you know what it is, and it's funny because instead of to your to acknowledge what you were saying, how they were going to defend Fraud and all that stuff. Listen to this montage of number 13, this montage of Democrats trashing Elon because they go after Elon instead of actually answering to what's being brought. Elon Musk has no, absolutely no business handling the personal information of American taxpayers. This information has never before been shared with outsiders.

Safeguards on its abusive use. By Musk and his merry band of minions. Why in the hell were a bunch of kids who are not even legally old enough to rent a car given access to Americans' private information? President Trump might be fine surrendering complete control to de facto President Musk, but Congress shouldn't be okay with an unelected billionaire calling the shots. We only have one president at a time.

And nobody voted for Elon Musk. Nobody voted for his hackers. You just have to say, wow. And nobody voted for the misappropriations and over-taxation of their tax dollars, correct? That's it.

Two, right? We'll see your nobody voted and we'll raise it. Look, I I I think what the Democrats are are trying to do is just find some way so th of of stopping Trump from succeeding. They would rather America go bust than Donald Trump come the budget. Um that seems to be the options for them.

And Elon Musk, a foreigner, right? Nobody voted for him, a billionaire. I mean, all of these words that they are throwing at him. How about a private citizen who is doing yeoman's work as a volunteer? for the for the country that he loves.

Right? I mean that's equally true. And yet the Democrats want to view Elon Musk as some kind of a pariah. I think he should be celebrated. Look, I think Elon Musk is a Absolute genius.

And the things that he has already accomplished in his life, that he now wants to take that brain power and his group of the geek squad, I call them the Musketeers. Oh, okay, we're going to go with that. The Musketeers. All right. Yeah, I think it works.

I agree. I concur. Yeah. And and let them use their their a artificial intelligence, their technical skills. They're not looking for whether Joe Blow lives at, you know, twenty five hundred Independence Avenue in Bethesda.

That's not what they're doing. They're looking at the expenditures Of these agencies and where is the money going? Not how much people are being paid, but where is the money going that's going out the door to these other things, whether it's foreign or domestic? Where is all the money going? It seems to me to be exactly what you would want a president to do.

It's we, the people's tax money. I think if we, I mean, could you imagine asking your wife, can I see the receipt from the grocery store? And she was like, you have no right to ask me that. That's not an answer to the argument when they say this has never been done before. You know, oh, my grocery bill is extensive.

You said who elected you to check our grocery bill? Exactly. You know, and they continue, and they say this information has never been before and shared. That's the problem. Yes.

That is the problem because I don't think any American who's paying their taxes is going to be like, wait a minute, I can see where my money's going. Oh, I have a problem with that. No, no, no. We have a problem with you watching us through our baby cameras. We have a problem with you recording our phone calls.

We don't have a problem trying to find out where our money went. And some of the threats that they're making are just, I mean, I'm going to throw one more at you, number 12. This is Senator Andy Kim, who's on Meet the Press. He threatened government shutdowns because it's illegal to go after. Where our money went.

Are you prepared to shut down the government to join Democratic colleagues who want to stand in the way of keeping the government over?

Well, you have to look at what the Trump administration is doing right now. They are simply trying to dismantle the government.

So yes, look, if we have to take steps. to be able to hold them accountable, use the leverage that we have to force it. I cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we're seeing when it comes to this administration's actions. Lawlessness. It it's it's breathtaking.

But you know, I think if we look at the bigger picture, it is that the Democrats got slaughtered in the election. And there's a lot of talk about what's wrong with the party, the whole DEI stuff, the open borders, all of the things that got them killed in the election across the board. Instead of grappling with that, they've just segued now to this. This has become their new rallying cry. And I think it's really another failure.

This is not going to sell. and any more than Carmela Harris and the word salads, that didn't sell, DEI didn't sell, open borders didn't sell, world in chaos didn't sell. This is not going to sell either. And I think that what they're doing is just avoiding the hard work of introspection of saying that we stand what we stand for. And it means you have to cut loose Elon Omar and people and people who are un-American really, who hate America.

The Democratic Party, until it starts to go down that road, I think is going to have a very hard time persuading the majority of Americans that it has the country's best interests at heart. Right now, it looks like a destructive force. Not a Donald Trump is a disruptive force. Democrats look destructive in the sense that it's not helping the country. No, you know what and What they're doing, what we're seeing is the Democratic Party has become a business.

Uh and it's a business ran by activists.

So we're no longer seeing, and the thing about activists is that they don't even necessarily, these particular, especially the woke activists, they create issues out of stuff that's so intangible. They inflate groups that are less than 1% of the population to where you think they're 97% of the population. They continue. To Because for the individuals, it has been very profitable. And the anti-Trump thing used to work, and it got them.

Three years. It got them. Oh, it took about three years before everyone started just saying, hey, you have a guy who's unfit to serve. These policies are. Are unbelievably shocking.

They're not what the American people want. Inflation is going up the thing. And now that we're starting to clean up their mess. I think they're almost in too deep. It's not necessarily about the Democratic Party.

It's about individual activists who have profitized the Democratic Party. Like we're seeing, and that's why the kick, as we're seeing more and more of the ferocity of fighting to say, hey, just let us see what's going on. What was the spending on? Where was all this going on? Because all this stuff is the reason why our eggs cost nine bucks.

That we're spending money on, where instead of on programs it should be, we're not taking care of ourselves. We're not taking care of our infrastructure. We're not making sure our schools have everything they need.

So I don't. Really, see where the end game is for them, other than they're just married to this, unless they have a complete overall, which will, because you know, we probably won't get term limits. But based off Doge, and again, here's the thing: it's not just Democrats, Republicans are being quiet right now, but there are Republicans who also benefited from all these programs, and we'll probably see their faces show up around midterms. Like right now, they're all being quiet, and it's probably the ones who don't know how to vote for who. And I don't know which way I'm going to go because they're trying to cover their own butts.

And I've. And, you know, this has been amazing. Thank you so much for your time, Michael. And again, this is Tyrus filling in for Brian Killmee. Illuminating, intriguing, inculcating.

I know some of these words. It's Brian Kilmead. Radio that makes you think. This is the Brian Kill Me Show. Or radio that makes you cheer with Tyrus filling in for B.

Listen, there was an epic battle at the Super Bowl besides the game on the field. It was the classic tale of the tape. President Trump vs. Taylor Swift let the crowd decide. Oh More strips.

And bright stars Um I see. Man was fine. All the ramparts we wild. Woo, well, I think that was, if it was a boxing match, they would have thrown the towel in. I think, again, I'm supposedly a celebrity.

Woo! It has never been a worse time in the history of this country to be a celebrity because Americans are fed up and they just don't care. You know what? And that is a good thing. It's nice to see people take pride in their country, cheer for their president.

It's a beautiful thing. And again, I'm Tyrus, filling in for Brian Kilmead on the Brian Kilmead Show. Breaking news, unique opinions. Hear it all on the Brian Kill Me Show. what it is.

This is Tyrus filling in.

Well, not really filling in, filling out would probably be a better analogy in this little chair. You know, I don't know how he. Sits under this little desk, but I'm in for Brian Killmead on the Brian Killmeat show. And I'm about to bring in my next guest. Like I said, for those of you who have followed my career, know.

That I have lived in the great state of Louisiana for over 10 years before making a little hiatus move while I figured it out. Uh and of course, we have lots of friends there and lots of people we work with. And I'm bringing on right now uh Reagan Charlson, an attorney from New Orleans, Louisiana, and a former well, I guess you're never really a former reality T V star and a small business owner. Reagan, how are you today? Good, recovering from our week of Super Bowl events.

Okay. I'm glad that you brought that up because I I was out there for a couple of days and I got a chance. I was at the NFL Honors and I was at the NFL Super Bowl Convention Center and I did a lot of interviews for Outkick and Fox Media and et cetera. And and um and at one point I did walk uh Which was very surreal walking on Bourbon Street. I did a segment with Will Kane for Fox and Friends of the Morning.

And walking on those streets, it was a weird feeling because it's a place I had been many, many times. But it was the first time I had been since the terrorist attack. And seeing the military presence everywhere and police everywhere was reassuring. And I even got some of the younger soldiers asked to take a picture of me, and that was pretty cool. But I had a sense of just.

It's just not the same place anymore. And I hate saying that, but I just. I feel like How New Orleans used to be. compared to how it is today. It's just not the same vibe anymore.

It's very different when you're on Bourbon Street. Oh, absolutely. And I had gone down to Bourbon just a few weeks ago for the first time since the terrorist attack. And I understand what you're saying. You can't help but think about what happened and also about the people that were killed senselessly in our most Popular touristic area.

And I know that at almost every event that I attended and any kind of ceremony that was put on, and you saw this last night with the Lady Gaga tribute, everyone really wanted to bring attention and honor those that lost their lives. And we had an event on Thursday with the NFL Wives Association, and they had the family members of the victims walk, and it was very emotional and heartbreaking. And to think that this was just, you know, you know, what, a month and a half? I guess we're two months out now or about. It's yeah, it's changed the the energy in the city for sure.

And New Orleans has this You know, attitude that they carry on through everything. The word is everyone uses is resilient. We're resilient here. But this is different. This wasn't a storm or a hurricane.

This was something that truly changes the landscape of New Orleans. You know, and seeing how well everything was protected. Uh for the Super Bowl. Was almost a bittersweet kind of feeling for me because Those it should have been the same way. for any event.

It also should be when the NFL is not there. Our barricades should be working. It should be a safe place for people to come. It should be we should have musicians in the street again with a hat where you could drop some change or some dollar bills when you hear them singing. And that was the one thing that I heard a lot of that's like, yeah, there's no more jazz down in down on Bourbon Street.

Another thing I have let me ask you this. As a small business owner, Um How was it? during the Super Bowl because I'm hearing locally That a lot of people were frustrated, especially in the service industry. were extremely frustrated by the lack of business. Uh and 'cause there was a lot of private parties and in some cases I heard they were bringing in Um Service industry from other places.

And so that the service industry in Bourbon Street and the area didn't make as much as they thought. And in some cases, there was a lot of poor tipping, et cetera. How was your now? You run a jewelry store. Please forgive me.

I forget the name of it. You can tell us the name of it. But was there an uptick of sales during the Super Bowl? Yeah, I have Reagan Charleston Jewelry in Canal Place, which is the French Quarter Mall. It's got Sack Fifth Avenue and Tiffany's and all the luxury stores are in that area.

And I can say we were very busy.

So I can't really speak to that from my perspective. We had customers in and out and local customers too, which you always feel like the locals aren't going to want to brave the crowds and come and shop.

So that wasn't my personal experience. But a few weeks ago, during all of the planning, we were, you know, collectively in the community aware that the companies were renting out and blocking out like sections of the French Quarter, whole blocks for brands.

So yeah, I can definitely see where. That would curt local servers that would otherwise have tables coming in versus just a rented-out buyout. That makes sense. Right. And always, I guess the reason why I'm hypersensitive to this, I always feel like.

The little guy, and especially in New Orleans, always seems to get the short end of the stick. It always seems like, well, we're, you know, because we've had all these great events. You had the Sugar Bowl minus the terrorist attack, and we had the Super Bowl, and of course, you have Jazz Fest, and you have all these events coming through. You would think the economy in New Orleans would be better than what it is because we see all this money coming through, but it never really seems to go to where it needs to go. Is that just me, just my cynical self?

No. Not at all. There's always unanswered questions. The city definitely has some work to do to get their finances straightened out. You know, we have a tremendous tourism entr industry in New Orleans.

So our community shouldn't be seeing any lack of funds, you know, directed towards the people or infrastructure. But That's just not the case.

So I mean, yeah, that's a lifelong problem. As long as I've been alive and I know my grandparents complained about the same thing when they had a gallery in the French Quarter in the 60s. I mean, this is it's almost cultural when you think about New Orleans and the infrastructure issues and the money issues. Yeah, things never quite add up. And again, where do you think it starts?

Where would you, like, if. You were mayor for the day, okay? Where? No, no, no, let's make it bigger. If you were governor for the day, where would it start for you?

God, just a spreadsheet. Like, where is the money going? You know, what is actually being allocated to, you know, where are the resources going? Is it really going to our central problems? And I, you know, in the last few weeks, we've seen things get fixed rapidly ahead of Super Bowl that should have been done years ago, if not decades ago.

I mean, the city got cleaned up like almost overnight. And, you know, you see, it's, Yeah. Bright and shiny, right? Right. They were steaming the streets with steam.

Yes, yes. But it's not always like that. And it shouldn't take the Super Bowl coming in to really get things in order. And I know that as a local, like we can be all, we can all be frustrated about that. But yeah, a spreadsheet, just figuring out what's coming in and what's going out.

I think that would help.

So you basically need to form your own doge of Louisiana. Oh, 100%. And I have, you know, such faith in Governor Landry. And I know that, you know, immediately he took steps to send in support into New Orleans. And I know that, you know, they're trying to get rid of the consent decrees and just kind of shape things up and make things make sense.

Common sense approach to managing our largest tourism hub in the state. Right. You know, and that should be a trickle-down effect because if New Orleans looks great, then everyone else will start to look great. And that's not saying that there's not cities that are doing well in Louisiana because there are. You know, we lived in Mandeville.

You still, and I lived in Mandeville, Louisiana, and it's a fast-growing, I guess, suburb, I guess we'd call it. Yeah, suburb. It's about 30 miles away from New Orleans. Yeah. Or a little bit more.

Across the bridge. Yeah. But there's places popping up and you have growth and positivity. But at the same time, you'd like to see that going. Let me switch gears a little bit.

You know, because you know, with a lot of stuff with immigration, one of the things, and ICE is out there dealing, and they're dealing a little bit of opposition, but one of the things that is the sex trafficking and the child trafficking. Which was made really a lot easier with the open borders, in my opinion. Absolutely. And you, as a lawyer, not just a small business owner, as a lawyer, you have been on the forefront in fighting. For their rights abuse children, not just dealing with sex trafficking, but also with social media and stuff.

How is that fight going? How are you doing with that?

Well, it's a battle. I mean, we're just getting started with the litigation in California for the social media cases. But with the human trafficking, I mean, this is not just a U.S. problem, it's a global problem. But we had a fast track to traffic.

Children into the country and out of the country. I mean, you don't. You don't have to be an expert to know that children are missing and that there is a global issue with the vulnerable being taken advantage of. And now that you know, we talked about this last time, you don't have to go out and physically take a child to abuse them now. It can be done online.

Yes. And, you know, the issue with child sex abuse materials is that these children are being trafficked. For sexual reasons, and it's being documented, it's being videoed, it's being photographed and shared online. And that's all going on right under our noses in the United States. And I think that having a closed border where it's more difficult to smuggle humans in and out, particularly children and the vulnerable, is going to solve many of the problems.

I don't think it's going to eradicate it. But it's definitely going to make it harder because we're on, you know, in I-10 and I-12, we're on a human trafficking corridor. And, you know, the people to get trafficked through the Gulf South and then through Texas and across the border, it's tremendous. It's a hotbed of trafficking and has been. And then, you know, you've got open border policies, and that's just going to make it even simpler to get kids in and out of the country.

How frustrating is you? There's so much opposition to what ICE is trying to do, what people like yourself are trying to do. You're trying to make this country safe for our children, for everyone else. Listen, there's proper ways. No one is anti-immigration.

No one is anti-wanting immigrants to come in the country. We just want them to come in the right way, vet it, and knowing that they're coming here to be a positive, to do their best to chase the American dream. I'm going to run Tom Holman at number 22. I'm going to run this. I want you to listen to this.

I want to get your reaction to it on the raid leaks. And as an attorney, nothing is worse than when people are, you know. not respecting the priv the pub the privacy and importance of information.

So I'm going to roll this for you. This is Tom Home number 22. This isn't a game. When operations get leaked like that, it puts our officers at great risk. It's already a dangerous job, but when they get heads up we're coming, it's only a matter of time before our officers are ambushed.

So what's happening is that the ICE information is being leaked and then sent out to the illegals. And how crazy is that? Yeah, I was listening to this last week in Colorado where the raids were leaked ahead of time. And of course, they show up with this big operation and no one's there. Key thing there.

Yeah, you're putting the officers and law enforcement officers' lives at risk. One, two, I mean, it's not just that, it's public safety. And they're going after known. Criminals and gang members. And this should be something that we can all agree on.

And I understand that while it's a sensitive topic, you know, common sense, again, these are criminals. We don't want criminals in our communities. That's something that should not be so hotly contested. I mean, I can't imagine how frustrating it is for law enforcement officers and government officials to go in. you know, on something that, like I said, we should all agree on, that's carefully orchestrated and it's blown by some, you know, crazy person in the media or the community that's just out there to thwart things and they're clearly ill-informed.

And it's sh it's shocking. But like with Neil. You know, uh, I'm gonna run one more for you because, you know, Usually the leaks come from within. And I think that's what's really frustrating. And number 21, Pam Bondi on Fox reports the issue threat to ICE staff leaking internal memos.

And this is when they're like, basically, listen, we're going to get you. And you can roll 21. If anyone leaks anything, people don't understand that jeopardizes the lives of our great men and women in law enforcement. And if you leaked it, we will find out who you are and we will come after you. And it's not going to stop our mission.

It's not going to stop the President's mission to make America safe again. We were very clear with the lawsuit that we filed in Chicago that if you don't follow the law, you will be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. I Your thoughts to the fact that we have to even make these statements? I mean, it's not surprising. We're not, you know, the way things have gone over the last decade, common sense is out the window.

Um, but I'm glad you've got someone like Pam Bondi that's no nonsense and she's going to get the job done. Um, but to have to put it in those terms, like, hey, you're putting our law enforcement officers' lives at risk. And here they're doing something that's necessary and trying to clean up communities. We've all seen the videos of the gang members like trying to break into apartments in Colorado. And this is not something that should be getting leaked, but they will ultimately find out who the culprit is.

And, you know, hopefully we'll be able to move past this chapter where people start to realize these are positive steps that we're taking. And also, like, for those that are doing things the right way and coming into our country legally and going through the process and they're getting vetted, like it jeopardizes those people. And what it's just a really unfortunate situation. But like I said, no surprise. There's very little common sense.

Yeah, it seems that uh The losing side, unfortunately, is more focused on the fact that they lost opposed to it was the reason why I lost is common sense. And as a common sense guy, it's shocking that common sense gets hit with so much pushback. Reagan, thank you so much for joining me today. I really appreciate your time. I know it's valuable.

Until next time, and again, you keep putting up that fight and looking out for the good people of New Orleans and the kids all across this country. Thanks, Tyrus. Take care. All right, as you know, I am Tyrus, and I am filling in on the Brian Kilmead Show. Coming to you on a need-to-know basis because Mandy you need to know, it's Brian Kilmead.

The fastest three hours in radio. You're with Brian Kilmead. They played great. There's no way around it. I mean, they played great from start to finish.

They got after it. Defensive line played really well. The D Vs played well to compliment them and linebackers as well. And so like I said, I mean, I can't turn the ball over early in the game when it's not going our way. And I'll have to learn from that and try to be better the next opportunity that I hopefully get.

You know, that is well, as you know, it's Tyra sitting in for Brian Kilmead show. But, you know, Mahomes doing his best way, his best impression of being a gracious loser. Uh, He's just such a class act, you know, and a lot of guys probably wouldn't even talk to the press. It wasn't a great performance, even the touchdown at the end, pad the numbers, but. It was a pretty sound trouncing.

And you got to be really happy for Jalen Hurts. I mean, there's a guy who was benched in his championship game. And then, of course, the first time he faced Mahomes in the Super Bowl didn't go his way. And a lot of times, he was blamed for it. I think it was a fumble.

And so you like to see it going the other way. But again, it's always good when it's so lost now because we have so many poor sports and crybabies in this world who come out. And he did nothing but compliment. He could have come out and been like, my offensive line didn't show up. Everyone was against me.

It was not fair. None of that. He just took it like a champ. And, kids, this is what you can learn to grow on. And this is how you want to be.

Gracious in victory, gracious in defeat, and gracious like Tyrus when he fills in for Brian on the Brian Kill Meet Show. From Hia Tom, Fox News Headquarters in New York. York City. Always seeking solutions, never sowing division. It's Brian Killmead.

And do not adjust your ears. It is not the sweet voice of Brian Kilmead. It's the slightly deeper, monstrously manlier voice of Tyrus filling in on the Brian Kilmead show. Uh I I'm re I'm ex This is something I feel like I need. There'sn't something I need to address that's just been driving me crazy for, I don't know, the last.

I just realized the other day that I've been affiliated with Fox since 2014.

So I feel like I've seen some things. And one of the things that drives me absolutely crazy is the. the left or the woke, their use of racism to instead of Have an argument. Just build an opposition. And it got to the point where the media became so powerful With Basically, it was no longer your skin color that you were judged by.

Or uh Outcasted or looked upon differently, it was your voting preference. Which means if you voted for an elephant There was something wrong with you as a human being. That you were less than a normal man or a woman. There was this, and they were able to cancel people. They were able to get people from losing opportunities.

They were able to control Hollywood. They were able to control athletic endorsements. And the one thing, the one group that they went after mercilessly. was black Men in particular, especially any black conservative. And just to have to say black conservative is an oxymoron.

It means it has absolutely nothing to do. With who you are, how you choose to vote and live your life. And I was always on the front. Of the brunt of the attack. And it was always the first thing they took from me was my blackness.

The second thing they took, I was a caveman or I was the dumb wrestler. Everything about me was wrong, and I wasn't really black. And then, well, he's light-skinned, so he's this, he's that. And they would attack you because when. You're trying to have an exchange of ideas.

And you and someone are going back, and you both believe strongly in your ideas, and their answer to your. Opposition to their idea is to attack your skin color. Or to attack your culture, or in some cases, even sexuality. But. It drove me crazy.

And one of the craziest things about this election. was It seemed at some point that Black voters, particularly black men, said enough. We had been at the you know, we were at the Toxic masculine. You know, we were the worst of the men, were black men in this country. And I was at the brunt of it.

I was called Uncle Tom. I was called all these negative things. And I'm not really black because I'm on Fox. And even though everything, you can't change who you are. I know there was this whole thing where you could have 47 pronouns and you could identify as a peacock if you wanted to, but none of that was real.

And no one who doesn't know you is not going to know that you're a peacock that day. But I was black all day, every day. I look different. I'm light-skinned, whatever. But they would constantly just throw that at me and the frustrations.

And then, you know, then my acting career, all of a sudden, they weren't looking for someone like me anymore. And you go to a restaurant, and all of a sudden, you're being judged. It was like I had experienced racism. Younger in the Midwest, going to school out there and then trying to live out there for a little while, you did experience some levels of it. And I can tell you, there was no difference in the feeling that I felt when I was being basically persecuted for being conservative.

And what I was being persecuted for was I wanted small government. I wanted less taxation and I wanted to be left alone.

Now, that is the dream of every man, as far as I know, is to be independent. Be able to support yourself and your family and chase the American dream. And I felt the Conservative Party. Gave me my best effort. To do that.

So that's why I voted that way. If things changed, and all of a sudden Democrats started to engulf things that I liked, like small government. Low taxation. And a Everybody Gets an opportunity. I'm with it.

What do you have to offer? I'd love to hear it. But that's not what it was. It was: oh, no, you're one of those. And the racism switched.

To I don't like him because he's a black guy. I don't like him now because he's a conservative. Black guy who really isn't black anymore.

So I was always curious to what I was once I wasn't black anymore. You know, you had that iconic. imbecilic line from uh of former President Joe Biden, where he's like, If you don't vote for me, you're not black. But that was the message. And it worked at a high level because I would be on Gutfeld's show, and we were the number one late-night comedy show.

And we're kicking everybody's butt, but and then brothers would stop me in the gym. That's usually, or when I'm traveling, be like, hey, Tyrus, you're doing a great job, man. I love watching you. And I'd say, hey, would you like to come on? No.

And even talking to me was very fleeting and very quickly. Hey, you know, sorry, no picture, none of that stuff. You know, I'm just keep doing you, but you know, lay low, lay low. And At the Super Bowl convention center with all these NfL greats. It was the exact opposite.

I was being cheered. Brothers were coming up to me left and right, like, hey, man, keep doing you, your voice for us. And it was shocking because my first reaction was: where the hell have y'all been? Because there were times I just felt alone out there. But I wasn't really alone because, you know.

I never have ever judged a friendship based on somebody's skin tone. Like, I consider Brian Kilmead a friend. I can have a beer with Brian Kilmead, talk sports with Kilmead. Uh And he's the same way. And there are people in life that, like I said, guys, with us, it comes down to two things: loyalty and accountability.

And if your friend is two of those things, you don't care if he's the same color of a baboon's backside, as long as he's there for you when you need him. That's what friendship is. And what the left has done, and they did it successfully for a long time, was they made people hide who they were, who their belief system was. was in this country because they didn't want to get persecuted. And that, to me, is probably the greatest change that President Trump has made with this election, this compelling sweep.

And he couldn't have done it without every group getting involved. When I mean by that, blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, men, women, gay, straight. That's what made this election. Go the way it was, is that people decided, you know what, I'm tired of being judged. On how I look.

Who I sleep with. I just want to be judged on content of character and who I am as a person. The mainstream media is probably the greatest perpetrator. of running racist things or going after a person based on the color of their skin and how they vote, and they were able to get away with it. And we're seeing it now where they're doing it with Elon Musk.

And they're doing what they've been doing with Trump since day one. They call a man Hitler who housed Michael Jackson When nobody would even talk or look at him, when he was accused of some of the most heinous things, but he had a friendship and he took him at his word. And now, unfortunately, Michael's gone. And now we look back to see that Michael. Wasn't any of the things that they said he was.

And who stood by him? And again, I'm telling you right now, the black community, we left Michael quick because we thought it was President Trump. Who said, Come stay with me while you figure this out. I'll help you protect you from the media because I believe that you're a good person. I believe you didn't do this.

That was President Trump. President Trump, hey, Tyrus, I will give you an unscripted interview. You can ask me anything you want. That was president you had to talk to a black conservative wrestler. He didn't have to do that, and he did that.

And I think across, and he surrounds himself with people like that. I did an interview and we talked about Nelson Mandela. There's a list that goes on and on and on. His love for Mike Tyson, his love for Muhammad Ali, his love for George Foreman. His love.

I mean, he has the list. And it's not just famous black people because that's another thing, too. It is every day his. He's done so much for small businesses. He's given brothers opportunities that no one else would give.

And that's across the board. He had a woman building his buildings when women weren't building buildings in the 70s.

So. That is the true fabric. And To see now. That the media has lost its grip on that and seeing that no longer are brothers afraid to say what's that. I was doing interviews of Marcus Allen, who I idolize as a child, well, even if I didn't want to, because the Los Angeles Raiders, he came from USC, his face was on every billboard.

And if you've ever seen Marcus Allen, To say he's an attractive man is just not worthy of attractive men. This guy was the heartthrob of the NFL, and every single mom, like my mother wouldn't even watch, if Marcus Allen was on, even with a helmet, she'd be like, Oh, Martin the Raider, I'll watch that. Because it was Marcus Allen for him to say, interviewing him, and he's like, Listen, I. Kyrus, I'm a fan. I I brother, what you did, you were on the front line.

And That meant a lot to me because I felt like for a long time you get caught up and you start to believe the hype. And now we're seeing them do this again. They're trying to recreate the wheel where they're going after Elon Musk. And it's in. It's almost laughable.

Rop number 14 for me, man, just to get this going. Elon Musk is a Nazi nut-ball baby. A godless, lawless billionaire who no one elected. Elon, this is the American people. This is not your church.

Trash it. Cyber truck that you can just Just manfully pick apart. And so the BUSIZA!

So he's Elon Musk is now a Nazi. And a Nepo baby, and his trashy cyber truck, which at one time. Before he stood up for independence accountability and stood up against mainstream media by buying X. because he thought freedom of speech was more important than the love of the left. They loved his cars, his electric cars, his ecologically friendly cars.

They were all about him. They all they all wanted him, they all had him. And then he did this he did this same thing that President Trump did. There's a pattern, there's a connection between these two. He stood up to the Democratic Party and walked away from them.

President Trump was a Democrat forever. And he decided when he needed to fix this country, he had to be a Republican. Elon You created this monster. Democrats. When you continue to go after and when you try to use your influence When he acquired X, you were so scared of what he was gonna and he got X, and what happened?

Free speech started to come back. And all of a sudden, we started hearing stories that were truths, weren't true.

So their attack on him is and it's they can't attack him on merit. The man lands rockets sideways. Understand? I'm going to say that again. He lands rockets sideways.

He's a brilliant man. Is he the most athletic? No, because you can't have it all. And he made that wave, which everyone who's ever seen Wolf of Wall Street or has ever lifted weights or seen a buddy, you beat on your chest and you raise it up, you say you're sending love. He's out on athletic.

He probably needs to stretch his shoulders out a little bit. Looks like maybe he could use a medicine ball of some sort, you know, can loosen up that upper bed. But again, I guess when you got to hold a million dollars, I guess your shoulders, or a billion, excuse me, maybe a trillion soon, your shoulder is going to be a little tight. You know, mine are loose because I hold twos and twos. Like I'm a healthy thousand air and I'm good with that.

Okay, but I'll probably a little bit tighter. But I'm just saying, but the point is: they can't debate him. They don't want to talk about the facts, so now he's a Nazi. He's a Nazi and he's a fake president, and President Trump, of course. Is a Hitler.

And these are these are main.

Now that's the left and the squad. That's Anna Presley, and they're going to say all this stuff to their 67 people who are there, and they continue to try to push this narrative. We saw the results of when Americans Decide to stand up to this racism stuff coming from the media. It's not coming from people, it's coming from the media. They are sitting in their rooms and they're saying, We're going to continue to try to trash.

President Trump, anyone who stands with him, anyone who works with him, anyone who cooperates with him. All of a sudden, they're the enemy of, not of the state. of the media. And again, roll fifteen, listen to this ridiculousness that Dodge cuts are about ensuring white supremacy. You can't how did the connective tissue on this doesn't even make sense.

But roll that one real quick. It's about making sure that there is white supremacy in this country. And if we're honest, we will say that. It is about making sure that we will make sure that people who DEI is really all these cold words. You used to use woke.

I asked you to define what woke meant. You couldn't really define it. Tell me what it means again. Woke ideology is taking extreme views of American culture. And trying to tear down America from the inside out and go outside of our cultural norms and invade every corporation, university, and other institutions.

What is DEI? Tell me, that's incorrect, but what is DEI? Tell me diversity, equity, and inclusion. I love that man. He goes into hostile waters every day and has to put up with that.

But even when you answer the question, You're still wrong. She said, define because that's what they like to do. Because they are used to making invisible issues that aren't there that you can't define. And when you do define it, they become aggressive. And that's exactly what happened.

So I just like to say a special shout-out. Thank you to this administration and the president for making it okay to be who you are, whether you're black, white, brown, orange, whatever, and you're a conservative or you're a Democrat, because guess what? He's got Democrats working with him through Telsey Gabbard, R.F. Jr., and a list of small things, whether you're independent or whatever. Just shake what you got, be what you want to be, and do what you want to do.

And you should never, ever have to change who you are to fit in with any group. And as the ratings show, CNN, if they'd be on a ventilator right now, keeping the ratings up because American people are tired of this. I am a proud black American, a man, and a father who is loving life right now, able to. Do what I want to do and be who I want to be, and my kids can do those things. And that's what America is all about.

So, when you hear all this, hey, just remember you got to consider the source and where it's coming from because it's not coming from the people in this country. I'm telling you right now, I go all around the world. I got my tours and I travel. And I'll tell you what, I will have a 65-year-old truck driver walk up to me and be like, Tyrus, I watch you every night and I love you. I will have-that's the weirdest thing for me: hear the old white man, I love you, Tyrus.

So I'm just going to leave you with that. It's a beautiful thing, whether it's grandma's and now it just makes my heart. Feel good that the brothers are now coming out the woodworks to stand up for who they are and what they believe in. And it is a good thing.

So, we're going to take a little break. Again, this is Tyrus filling in for the Brian Kilmead show. Breaking news. The latest headlines. Exciting commentary.

People are aroused. I haven't seen people so aroused in a very, very long time. It's Brian Kilmead. The talk show that's getting you talking. You're with Brian Kilmead.

Kevin Hart's here? Yeah. How do the cameras find Kevin Hart? Of course. Depends on the day, I guess.

Kevin, I love you. You took so many shots at me in May. I'm coming right back at you. It's the Rose Revenge tour for Tom Brady. You know, being forced to say the second part.

I think someone got in his ear and was like, oh man, that was mean. That was hilarious. And that's Tom being Tom, and I love it. You know, Brady did a really good job considering that he was calling the game of the guy that was probably, there was a good chance that Patrick Mahomes was going to take his title as Mr. Super Bowl because that would have made him, well, first of all, the three-peat.

And on top of that, winning percentage-wise, I think Mahomes would have been one of the best quarterbacks to ever grace the Super Bowl.

So for him to want to do it, first of all, because it's not like he needs the money. And then anytime he can take a shot at Kevin Hart, which is a valid point. Why do we waste so much time taking. Camera shots away from the guys on the field to show an audience. That there's a celebrity there.

It's like the network's trying to say, we're cool, we're hip, you know, we can dance and we're hip. No, just play the game. Again, America's back. It ain't about being a celebrity, it's about being true to you and yourself and the American people. This is Tyrus, filling in for the Brian Kilmeat Show.

He's so busy, he'll make your head spin. It's Brian Kilmead. What it is, it is not Brian Kilmead. It is Tyrus filling in on the Brian Kilmead show. And my next guest, before I bring him, man, I'm excited to bring him in.

Big fan, NFL Hall of Famer, Brian Erlacher, linebacker for the Chicago Bears. And I I don't want to beef. With with Brian Erlacher. I was invited cordially to his party. But I was working that red carpet monstrosity that I had to do.

And I can tell you, I had sweated through my pants, my shirt. I was drenched. My. Good buddy, my former boss, Snoop Dogg, was there. I was supposed to go see him.

I literally could not get back to the hotel room fast enough. And then, once I got in there and talked to the wife and the kids, I was out. And I missed out on what. Uh Single guys call fun. I ended up waking up and spending the rest of my evening watching forensic files as I fell back to sleep.

But joining me now again is NFL Hall of Famer Brian, the great Brian Erlacher. Brian, thank you so much for doing the show today. Yeah, Josh, thanks for having me. I appreciate it. You missed a good time.

I know I did. I know I did. It was so hot in New Orleans. I went outside a couple times during that party. Man, it it was so humid and muggy, I wasn't expecting that uh for that time of year there.

Bruh, I was doing, again, I was horn swaggled, hoodwinked into doing the red carpet. And all linemans, we're always grouchy. Right, especially when you know little guys come through wanting us to acknowledge them. I refuse to do it. I was like, listen, I'm not going up to anybody going, hi, I'm Tyrus with Fox and Friends.

Will you talk to me?

So I just stood there. Yeah, I just stood there and was defiant. And, you know, people were coming up to me that knew me.

So I ended up doing a pretty good thing. But. It's funny because the last time I met you briefly, this was when you in your Super Bowl against the Colts. It was my last time with Snoop before I returned to the WWE.

So, uh, and we were doing all the stuff with the youth football team.

So, let me ask you this. Uh,. Being the fact you've done it all, like you rookie the, I mean, your career highlight list. I'm just going to go through this real quick. And just going back, it's like Roy Jones, in case you forgot, okay?

Because you're one of the players, and I talked to Lawrence Taylor and Andre Reid and Marcus Allen about this. In some of the interviews I did, you're one of the guys who has not played the game, but people still talk about you as if you're still playing the game. Like your compliment, right there. Your legacy is still on the field, right? Because when someone makes a play, they're like, That's a Brian Erlacher play right there.

And you don't hear that often because there's not many of those anymore because they've changed the game so much. But NFL Defensive Player of the Year, 2005, NFL. I'm going to leave the dates out because we're not aging nobody. Yeah, we're not going to agree nobody. All right.

NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, four-time first-team all-pro, second-team all-pro, eight-time pro bowler. You led the NFL solo tackle leader, and you made the all-decade team.

So Those are a lot of accolades. And of course, you played in the Super Bowl.

So you know you've made it to the pinnacle. Unfortunately, it didn't quite go your way. Didn't get over the hump there. Yeah. Tom Brady made an interesting thing.

He talked about the losses mean more, are still with him more. Do you, with an amazing career as you had, second to no one, does that Super Bowl. game still sit with you or have you moved past it? No, it it sits with me. You know, it's frustrating 'cause you always think, you know, oh, we'll get back, we'll get back.

And I guess you don't realize how hard it is to get back to that game. You know, for Brady and those guys, he played in 10 Super Bowls. I can't even imagine that. Half of his career, he was in the Super Bowl every season.

So it's crazy to me to think about that. But you always think you'll get back.

So you're like, and then when you retire, you're like, dang, man, we just. We we got to w one more MC championship. We lost to Green Bay and they went on to win the Super Bowl. But it's tough because you you work your whole career to get to that game and when you don't perform the way you want to or you don't win the game. It's uh It's crushing, but at the same time, man, you still got a chance to play in one.

I guess that's what I take away from it now. After not winning one, you just got to get out there. Yeah, at least I got there, you know, but it doesn't, it doesn't, it's not enough. You know, you want to win one, that's for sure. Got to be the one you always think about.

You know, I'm going to run. I thought Andy Reid, who is just, he's always, he's always a coach, right? You're never going to catch him where he's like, and I'm going to run as our number six here, but I thought his comments were just classic. Take a listen. Listen, they all heard.

You get this far. We spend a lot of time doing this. It's not a hobby, right?

So we're in it. the the whole way and spent a lot of hours doing it as players, as coaches.

So it's gonna hurt. They all hurt when you get to this level and these things happen. Three peed aside or any of that stuff, that you know you get this far and you you don't play as well as you want to, uh it hurts. You know, I think that's probably the, and again, unless you are being coached under him, I think that's probably the biggest public. I would say yelling or aggressiveness I've ever heard from him.

I love Andy Reid. I got a chance to play for Coach Reid in a couple of Pro Bowls early in my career. But yeah, we were watching a game last night. My wife had a friend over, and she goes, Why is Patrick Mahomes crying? She goes, She they just won two Super Bowls, they won three out of you know, three out of four or whatever.

I was like They work all season long, all the whole year to win this game here. You know, they put everything they have into this season. I know last season they won the Super Bowl the year before, but it doesn't matter right now. All that matters right now is this game.

So you kind of got to put that, whatever happened in the past aside because they hurt, man. You can see in Patrick's face, they didn't play they wanted to play, but tons of respect for them. And Philly just played great, man. That's a good point. I mean, as a former officer lineman, that was a nightmare.

That was what you had a brush. Oh, it was. But it was nothing fancy. It was four guys beating five. I mean, it was just it was uh one-on-one victories.

They went a couple of games in there, but Tyrus, they were just getting out and you don't see Mahomes get hit like that. You you see the ball gone, uh, you see him making guys miss in the pocket. Every time he stepped up, there was a guy to hit him. And understand, he has three of the best interior linemen to play the game. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and they're like I know. They got some dudes up front.

So, what Philly did up front was impressive. Dalen had a great game. I'm glad to see him win one and get the MVP. He deserved it. He was awesome.

You know, not enough. No, a lot of, there was some, there was some shade thrown. I don't know how you could.

Now, listen, at 6:18 p.m., I posted my prediction. I said 37-13 Eagles. And, of course, yeah, I pretty much called it in garbage time. They messed me up, but I don't bet because if I bet, I'll be way off. But it's like Murphy's Law with me.

But I was just looking at the D-line in the playoff series, and I was like, man, I just. They're inside too. I just didn't know, but I had no idea because the tackle for the Chiefs, he's kind of gotten away with it all year. And listen, I'm not mad anytime. Yes, he's offsides every time.

Every play they could call it. Yeah, every play. And it did not matter. He tried to leave sooner. Nothing they did.

Nothing they did. I mean, I will say this. He did blow up a little bit in the Super Bowl to get on the line of scrimmage, so it wasn't as obvious, but he still rocked back early. Anyway, they just kicked their butt up front, man. You saw those two inside guys, Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.

And then you get Brandon Graham, 100 years old, out there getting him a sack. It was just pure domination. They rotated eight guys in and out, and all those guys played great. Their secondary played phenomenal as well. They made some plays.

And the offense did a great job where they weren't getting crazy numbers on the ground, but they were consistent. And listen, KC just decided: hey, Barkley's not beating us. But in keeping them in the box, they opened up one-on-ones with. Brown's a monster. Sanders is a.

I mean, it was just. It was just they didn't account. They had everything accounted for, but were you surprised as a defensive guy never seen he refused to get out of that defense? He just wasn't just because they were so Barney doesn't get the MVP, but he affected the game with his presence, I think. He affects every game, whether it's 140 yards or just his presence, right?

Because, I mean, they got the one-on-ones because of him, I feel like. And Jalen's a good enough quarterback. And Jalen's a good runner, but man, he's so timely when he takes off. You know, he picked his spots. He ran well, but the throws he made, you know, the ones at Delante was awesome.

The game was over. It was still a sweet touchdown. And how about the two early calls? I thought that was a big deal. A.J.

Brown probably was not a penalty. He could go either way. And then the PI or the roughing the. What was it called on McDuffie? Oh, but the roughing, or it wasn't roughing, but it was it was horrible.

You know, the one thing because I can't stand the internet. And um I'm with you. playing the and playing this game We know that penalties don't decide games, you know, but There's been such a thing, you know, with conspiracy theories and paying refs and all this crap that, yeah, other bad calls, 1,000%. But I refuse to ever talk about it as a spectator because I feel like it cheapens the game. It does not.

The guys, and listen, Kansas City has benefited that call in Buffalo. Worst-case scenarios, interception. But it was not a reception. I agree with you. I was pulling for Buffalo that game, too.

Go ahead, bro. No, no, go ahead, man.

So I I just you don't ever want the refs to decide a game, you know, and and like you said, the Chiefs get the benefit of the doubt a lot of times in in this in those situations. But and here's what I'll say, good teams get those calls. You know, the reason they get the benefit of the doubt is they're a really good football team and they put the refs in those situations where they have to make a call. Um and they just got him and and what the crazy thing is like when when some when they get one of those calls, they make it count. Like they'll go down and score a touchdown.

They'll they'll get a takeaway. They make it count, but a lot of teams don't do that.

So it's a bigger situation, I guess, when when they get those calls go their way and they take advantage of it. Because again, and Mahomes. It seems like for some reason they always try to discredit him. He's been. He's been the best winner.

I guess you don't have to look at numbers. You just win. It's what it comes down to. He finds a way to win. That's what Tom Brady said during the game yesterday.

He's like, he's a winner. You know, he doesn't find the numbers weren't there this year, but the guy third 15-2, his best record season-wise yet. He just found a way to win. That's what you got to do in the NFL. It's a long, long season.

It's tough to win those games.

So, now listen, let's phase away from the awesome Super Bowl.

So, what is life?

Now, one of the things I talk to a lot of NFL legends like yourself, I talk to them about life after football. And whether it's football, wrestling, or whatever baseball, basketball is something that has been a part of your life and basically defined who you are as a man because all your values and work ethic came from getting to that point. And you not only got there, you played at a high level for a long period of time. And then, life is long, football is short. What is life for you now?

Like, what are your passions now? Again, nothing's ever going to quench that thirst, but you also have to change to a different brandy, too. For sure.

Well, my kids are, you know, I have three kids now. My oldest is 24. She's a law student at Marquette Law. My middle daughter is a DJ in Lawrence, Kansas. And son Kennedy is a strong safety for Notre Dame, right?

Yep, hey, safety there, Notre Dame. Hopefully, he gets on the field a little more this. But yeah, so we had a fun year following him around. But man, I play a ton of golf.

So when I retired, the competitive nature was still in me, obviously. And I had to find a way to kind of quench that. Golf does it for me. I love, I got into mountain biking. There's this.

Certain app, you can keep track of your times and race against other people. There's some things that I've done to kind of clench that. But man, at first it was hard to kind of.

So like my schedule, because as for football, you get on that regiment, you know, you're up, you work on the bottom. Oh, I I remember when I got my last cut. Yeah, I got my last cut, and I remember it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't know what to do. The regiment for me was what I missed and what I needed in my life. And then, you know, it took me a couple of years to adjust, but now we're we're doing good now.

I literally play golf four days a week. The kids are all in college, so we have a ton of free time. My wife and I have four dogs now. Oh, so they're empty. You're empty nester.

Yes, we are. They're all gone. Yeah, we started late. Mine aren't leaving the nest anytime. Enjoy.

Hey, man, I'll tell you this much. Enjoy it while they're home. It is fans. They don't come home very often. No, let me tell you, bro.

My daughter is an equestrian rider. I'm a horse dad now. Oh, that's a good for you. Yeah, yeah, great. That's another reason why I'm filling in for Kill Me.

I need the money. I'm also picking up the building after we're done today, so I keep it working. But she's on the road, right? And she's traveling. She's in Wellington, Florida, and she's 10.

And she's competing against again, because this is how it works, right? There was a little tiny horseback place she was going, and she was winning a little ribbons, and it cost me like, I don't know, like two, three grand a month. You know, no big deal. And then somebody said, hey. To my wife, you should have her try out for Beacon Hill.

And she's like, Why? I said, Well, they won't take her till she's 14. But you go there and they'll look at her, tell her what she needs to improve on and work on because they train, they get people ready for Olympians, European, they're the. They're the top, they're the NFL of a question writer. She goes there, and I'm not against it.

I'm like, okay, it'll be a good experience for her. And I'm just thinking it could humble her a little bit. And because she's been talking in third person since she's bringing these ribbons home, you know what I'm saying?

So she goes down there. Yeah, she goes down there. She rides, get on a horse she's never ridden before. 10 minutes into her thing, the owner comes out and goes, I'll take her.

So now she's big time, and it's not $2,000 a month. She's got three horses now, and she's in one. She's home for a couple of days, and then she's like, I'm back on the road, Dad. First of all, you don't get to say that to me. I've been on the road my entire life.

But she's riding down there and she's competing. And my son, who's 6'4, 13. Oh my god. They're all famous. Yeah, and but I got him playing baseball and jiu-jitsu.

I will not let him and he trains at D1.

So D1 does all the combine stuff. Oh, yeah, you made it. Yeah, we made a deal. Is that Peyton's place? You know what?

I don't know if it is or isn't. I know some of those guys are involved in that stuff. Yeah, the one in Orlando that he's at, the owner's in there, is a big fan of the show.

So I talk to him every once in a while. But the deal was because what was going to happen was, they're like, oh, we'll put him when he was 10. Like, oh, we'll put him in the 13-year-olds. I'm like, you're out of your mind. I'm not.

My son is plus a big guy. Did you keep May's level? Did you keep Meds level or did you play him up? No, I didn't. He's not playing football.

He's going to play baseball. You're not going to play football. No football. Until we made a deal. When you get to high school.

It's game on. Just because one of the things, and Lawrence Taylor backed me up on this. I found out, I don't know if you know this, and you probably do because you probably talked him a lot more than I have, but Lawrence Taylor played baseball and was tricked into going into football. They're basically, hey, when he's just like, hey, come try this. And he didn't like it at first.

And then it got good to. Yeah, and then it got good to him. Yeah, no kidding. And maybe it'll be the same for your son.

Well, he wants to. No, my son knows his hands in the dirt no matter what, whether he's blocking it or chasing it. Yeah, yeah, he's too big. Let's face it. Let him be a chaser at least so he's not cheating all game.

Well, then I got to worry about his intelligence and you know, because you guys just see it. He's always smart if he's playing defense. You know, if he's going to be on up at the ball, we're all smart. You guys up front just had to grab a hold and you had very loving coaches who would have told you guys that. Hey, B, we're going to go to a break real quick, and I'm going to bring you back if that's cool.

This is Tyrus filling in with Kill Me. We'll be right back. It's Brian Kill Mead. Information you want, truth you demand. This is the Brian Kill Me Show.

What it is, you know, it's Tyra sitting in before I let. Brian Erlacher go, you mentioned the golf thing. I retired from wrestling, and now I'm getting to the point where I need to find something to do because my competitiveness and my camaraderie-ness, I missed out on the party. What would be, now I played golf in college, got away from it, and I haven't played a long time besides top golf with my kids. What would be the tip?

What do I need to do first? What do I? Oh, man. Be patient. How about that?

This is the most frustrating game. You know, I right now I'm going through a little bump tires. I've not played well in about two months now, and maybe my expectations are too high, but I just I want to be It's like game you're never going to be as good as you want to be at because every day it's something different. Pissing you off out there because either you can't putt or you change your driver, but your irons are good. It's so dang annoying.

I love the game, but it annoys the hell out of me as well.

Well, here's what I'm going to do because I got to make up for the party.

So I'm going to take about two months to get my game somewhat manageable to where I can go through without breaking my clubs and scaring and flipping carts and stuff. And then you and I, we're going to get on the golf course together. That would be fun for me. I'm actually going to be there. Are you home for you in Florida?

Where's home for you? It's half the year now because my daughter rides in Wellington five months out the year, so I'm in Florida quite a bit. And apparently, the guy in the White House likes me, so I might have to make some trips down there. Even well. Even better.

Even better. I can be able to get us hooked up on a golf course. But hey, man, it's been amazing. Finally get a chance to talk to you. We'll catch up on you in the golf course soon.
