Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. No! God, please no! Four seconds to go. Halliburton for three. No!
No! Today's guests. Actors Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer. Senior writer for Sports Illustrated, Chris Mannix. Vikings head coach, Kevin O'Connell. And now, it's Rich Eisen. That's right everybody.
That's right. We're all over the map. Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer are making their way to the studio. Last time they were here, they were in support of what they're coming in to promote today, AC Barbecue. So they're bringing food and they're bringing the energy because just like the last time they're showing up in the first hour, they're 20 minutes away. It's like a shot of caffeine to start our program. And then, as always, we are all over the figurative map. Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated. So much to talk about in the NBA playoffs where in the second round, the road teams are now 5-0.
I don't know the last time any playoff round in maybe any sport started with the road teams winning the first five games. Never. We'll take any of that information that anybody might have out there. It's such a rarity what we're currently seeing. So Chris will talk about that and obviously the worthiness of Steph Curry's hamstring as folks in San Francisco and Oakland and the Bay Area might give up their hamstring for Steph. But don't worry. Your hamstring doesn't work like Steph's.
So don't worry about it. And we'll discuss that with Chris Mannix. And then the reigning coach of the year, Kevin O'Connell, will join us in hour number three. And we have a fun segment set up for the end of hour three when Suze will join us in advance of recording this week's edition of Women's Sports Now right here on the Roku channel. She is going to help us kick off what we're going to do for the next week and a half on this program, which is get us ready for Family Feud versus the Dan Patrick show.
And we're going to come out of the smoke recording it next week for later on in the fall. We were going to talk about it, but Dan, Dan got chatty about it. He did.
He did. You know, he let it, he let the Steve Harvey cat out of the bag and okay, so now let's go. It's time to play the Feud and we'll do that later on. It'll be a lot of fun.
And uh, eight four four two oh four H is the number two. I'll go to see over there. Christopher Brockman. How are you? How are you, man? Great. DJ Mikey D is in these nuts sitting in his spot.
TJ Jefferson. Good to see you over there. How are you? How you guys doing? Well, you're holding up your release of fandom.
Is it signed? Well, here's how we're starting on this program. Many people will say to us, Hey, enjoy your show. We say, thank you.
Thank you. Um, after that, they might say one of my favorite segments is, um, overreaction Monday. We say thank you to that. Of course. That's part of the reason why we have, uh, also created a podcast off of that. And, um, you know, those two things are separate, but it's all part of the same world in which we've created here where that, and what's more likely is usually the subject matter or segment where people will say to us, we'd love to revisit, check your work a little bit, you know, how have your takes opinions, or in the case of what you do, Chris, um, subject matters, the constructs of the segments. Sure. How accurate are they?
How do they age? Well, on Monday's edition of the rich Isaac show on overreaction Monday, this happened. Remember before the draft, when, uh, the cowboy came up and Jerry Jones is like, I'm working on some big things. And I got some trades in the hopper maybe before, maybe after he called them substantive, actually, he's not working on anything. There are no substantive trades. Like he said before the draft, nothing is happening. And I call that an overreaction. Um, and I also appreciate excellent editing to our crack staff to edit out the fact that I said, um, basically the reason why it's an overreaction is because there could have been trades going into the draft, but the trade partners got cold feet or the board of the draft broken a certain way, and they wanted to use their draft choice on a certain player.
So no deal, Jerry. And I then said, now that the drafts over, certainly nothing's going to be happening. Well, we all woke up this morning to the news that the Dallas Cowboys have acquired the wide receiving services of George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers who get a third round pick in next year's draft and a fifth round pick in the 27 draft. Now in Washington, DC, in which the Cowboys will see a sixth round pick from Pittsburgh go their way. And so does George Pickens in the final year of his rookie contract. So there's that.
Okay. Jerry has been cooking on something and this is a substantive trade that now adds a highly talented physical outside the numbers presence to an offense that really hasn't had much of an answer to the question of what happens if defenses shade their coverage to take CD lamb out of the game. And basically it's been on CD lamb to say, doesn't matter. And that has happened more often than not to the tune of CD getting his nice chunk of the pie last year, albeit later than what everybody thought Jerry should give it to him.
There is less pie. So now you add a guy who can take the top of the defense off on the other side of the field. Now you add a guy that will bring a certain physical aspect to the game. And now you add a guy who would become expendable in Pittsburgh. And that's obviously a lot of questions involving that if he's so damn talented and if Aaron Rogers is deciding whether or not to come off the beach in Malibu and get other personal affairs of his in order to the point where he can focus on playing football again, which is the scenario that he himself laid out for us last time we heard from him on Pat's show.
Does this make him think, why do I need to get my affairs in order? We just lost a major piece in George Pickens. What are they doing? Let's take the Cowboys side of this, as I mentioned. I like it. I like it a lot. You should like it too, TJ, because when they announced this trade officially, we should have Jerry Jones hold up the front page of today's Dallas Morning News to once again prove that there is a sign of life in that front office with a splash to it.
Nice splashy move right there. And absolutely. One would think the Dallas Cowboys will take their time on signing George Pickens for various reasons. One, because that's what they do is they take their time to the point where we're wondering, do you not know what time it is? It's time to pay your guy. And what they're not going to do also is pay a kid just new to the team when all Jerry's been doing for the last two years, at least, is to say, everybody around here needs to sing for their supper and the right to have the star on the side of your helmet.
And they're going to let George Pickens, I would imagine, go through this entire season to say, I want to bag Jerry. Look what I just did for you. Look what I just did for Brian Schottenheimer in a crucial first season for him. Look what I just did for Dak in his crucial return to action and health. Look what I've done to this offense. Look what I've done for this offense. Look what I can do to the opposing defense in a very deep end of the talent pool in the National Football League and the National Football Conference Eastern Division where the Super Bowl champions reside and the top two teams now in my way too early power rankings. The Washington commanders have vastly improved things and one would think the Giants have definitely stepped up their ability to win football games better than last year as well. Although I do need to see who's playing quarterback there and what happens.
No, but they're still, they're a better team, you could say. And the Cowboys showing a pulse, an old school flare. All it did was cost them a three and a five next year and the year after.
What's that? There is also then the question of what the hell is going on in Pittsburgh for them to basically say, here's what we're going to do. We don't really have a plan at quarterback other than the fact that we tried to get other guys.
And now we're in the position of watching our quarterback room bolt for starters jobs in New Jersey. And then what we're going to do is wait for Aaron Rodgers to get his affairs in order to tell us that he's going to play or not. And we're just assuming he's going to do it. Or we've been given some massive green light indication that he's going to do it. And in the meantime, what we're going to do until we don't know that is trade for somebody else's wide receiver and pay him $30 million a year on average, and then take the kid who is absolutely far more economical and has a game one would think arguably similar to DK Metcalfe's and flip him for two draft considerations next year and the year after and go to work in the receiver room that way and the quarterback room that way.
It is so unstealer like I don't even know what to make of it. It is one would also have to hope that it's more than just a hope that Aaron Rodgers is returning and because they need to have him. I mean, quite frankly, the other option right now, if Rodgers says in any way, shape or form, I'm not coming.
And one would think he's been made aware of all this. If I'm the Steelers, I do actually keep him abreast of what's happening because I do need him because if he doesn't come, we're starting Mason Rudolph. And if he doesn't come and we don't want to start Mason Rudolph, we're calling Atlanta and saying, hey, maybe the third round pick we just got for George Pickens in next year's draft, you want it? We'll give it to you for Kirk Cousins or that 2027 pick we just got in the fifth round.
Do you want it? We'll pay a little bit more money for Cousins now. That's their situation. Yeah, they now have three third rounders in 2026, so they have the ability to make some moves here, but the Steelers need Aaron Rodgers more than Rodgers needs the Steelers. I don't know about that unless Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to play football anymore.
Well, his legacy and all that stuff is secure. It's just whether or not he wants to keep playing. Pittsburgh literally has zero plan at quarterback. Well, their plan at quarterback is to start Mason Rudolph and get Will Howard up to speed in case there's something like they have to add another veteran. I mean, they have to add another veteran.
They have to. And Cousins is sitting there and maybe whatever's going on with Derek Carr down in New Orleans gets settled to the point where that's interesting. My arm, I can actually play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hold on a second. That feels like it's got a lot of swing oil left in it. That feels good.
I don't know. I like that option better than Kirk Cousins, to be honest. Crazier things have happened, man. Stay by your phone, man.
I may need you. And the voice of that man also, you know, you know, in Tomlin, I trust it. To, you know, the mind's eye of a Steeler fan, some Steeler fans, to a fault. But if this guy is just like, fine, trade George Pickens, what the hell is going on between number 14 formerly of the Steelers now and the Steelers? Oh, what, what a headache he must've been for them to basically say you're in the fourth year of a contract.
You are 100% beyond affordable and economical for the amount of production we're getting out of you, but we're willing to just send you packing, get out and go with the rest of the receiver room as it is. And you know, one of my guys from team 144, national champion Roman Wilson last year hardly played a lick and we don't know what he's going to look like in the pros. And I just, you know, obviously I'm high on him having seen what he did in college, but we're going to have to see something out of him. Right? Maybe it had something to do with it. Yeah. So Jeremy Fowler tweeted it like 10 minutes ago, the team is counting on a big Roman Wilson year two jump off season.
Looks like a different player than last. Well, that's great. And you know, I think that'll be wonderful. They signed Robert Woods there, Bobby Trees, Calvin Austin, the third is there, Ben Skronick, who Rams fans know can give you a first down here or there for sure. Scotty Miller, Gabe Davis got released today from Jacksonville and this is what you're looking at in the receiver room, but they have just basically willingly said, get, get out George in a way that the, the Cowboys are like fine with us. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.
Whatever caused the Steelers to be soured enough. But again, the way I'm taking it is very uncowboy like for the last few years to just go ahead and make a big splash because this is splashy. Look, we've been promised something for how long, right? And as you know, I'm losing faith over here.
Monaco's losing faith in there. Other fans are losing our director. He already knows because I'm not taking either. We ride together. We die together. Me and Monaco on this cowboy train.
So my thoughts are his thoughts and vice versa, but promise man, you know what I'm saying? Brockman like, yeah, we're going to do something. I got a text at four 30 this morning and I'm angry. I woke up, I was like, who the heck is this? And then I saw the text.
I was like, what? Who sent you a text at four 30 football group chat? Nice. East coasters. Yeah.
One guy in the East Coast. Yeah. What a nice, I would, I would be, that is, that is a foul. I was upset, but I let it pass because it was good news. So yeah.
So on behalf of me and Monaco and Brockman and all cowboy nation, you see this release of failure. I was never going to sign this and I'm going to sign it. It's not really notarized.
It's not a notary. Wow. Let's go. Don't worry. I was out, Rich. I wanted to leave. I'll rip that up too.
Matter of fact, I'll set that one on fire. Point is I ain't out. Show some life. Show me that at least you're trying that's in the fan base.
All you really want. Dr. Jones with my rubber glove is going to make sure every one of you are safe. Good staff for Mina Kimes in the last two years. George Pickens tied with Justin Jefferson for the most 20 plus air yard catches in the league. I mean, Russ throwing the typical Russ Moon Ball, you know, that was the, that was part of their massive chunk play offense that caused them to go from four and two to ten and three, but something caused them to go from ten and three to barely making the playoffs and while making the playoffs and then barely surviving in it, you know, and Pickens, you know, they're, they're, you know, our friends at ESPN or this morning was showing all a bunch of moments where veterans had to go up to calm him down. He's barking at people in the stands, barking on the sidelines, whatever's going on. If you remember, Tomlin came on the air and said after Pickens his first year there that he kept, kept telling George to do the routine things routinely because everything else, the acrobatic stuff, the physical acts of freakishness, that he needed no polishing on that. Yeah. I mean, we've said it before.
He'll make the, you know, one handed catch in traffic and then he'll drop a five yard slant as the ball hits him right in his hand. It's kind of weird. So congratulations there, sir. Thanks. Like I said, man, just show me something like show us that you care as much as we care. And this is, you know, I think it's going to give good favor to the fans to let us know that.
All right. And Steeler fans again, once upon a time it wasn't like, all right, our quarterback plan is to just keep on bridging and bridging and bridging. And well, I guess bridging and bridging, they, they, they, they bridged the last two years and or it does appear that this year is in another bridge plan. And the question is, are they bridging to Will Howard?
Are they bridging to 2026? So, you know, and it's on Steeler like to, while you're bridging, bringing in a wide receiver and paying him that much, that much money, and then taking another wide receiver who would be wonderfully paired with him for the guy that you're hoping to lower off the beach here in Malibu, unless he doesn't need to be lured. He's just got to in Tomlin, we trust and say, don't worry, coach, don't worry, Aaron. We just saved you a massive headache. You can leave the Advil on the beach, you know, because we're just sending him to, he's now Schottenheimer and Dax and CDs and Jerry's issue.
Which is a little bit of a concern too on the behalf, you know, on the, why it doesn't make sense when you just look at the paper, you look at your numbers, but you know. So let's take a break. Cedric, the entertainer and Anthony Anderson together here on the Rich Eisen show. And then Chris Mannix to talk about everything going on in the NBA playoffs from Steph Curry's hamstring to Tyrese Halliburton's church bells.
That's in hour number two and Kevin O'Connell, the reigning coach of the year, the Vikings in hour three right here on this Wednesday show. Okay. This is not a drill. Get ready because mission impossible. The final reckoning hits theaters May 23rd and I'm counting down the days.
This is it. The biggest practical action movie ever made. Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie are back pushing the limits of what action cinema can do. We're talking real stunts, real danger and real edge of your seat intensity, all shot in jaw dropping locations around the world. Did you see that trailer? Tom Cruise free fallen through fire, Haley Atwell back in action and the whole crew reunited.
Bing Reigns, Simon Pegg, Esai Morales. It's like the ultimate global team up. This franchise started almost 30 years ago and it just keeps getting better. Mission is more than a movie. It's a high stakes ride built on loyalty, friendship, sacrifice and seriously gutsy stunts. So yeah, I'm beyond excited to see mission impossible. The final reckoning on the biggest screen possible in a theater May 23rd. This summer the mission is clear.

That works. I'm going to ask you the question this way about what contract you think you're going to get in terms of pie. I've heard there's less pie. There's less pie.
That's right, there's Jerry Jones right there, the voice of Jerry Jones. We've heard there's less pie. We've heard there's more pie. I'm wondering if you think this is deep dish pie.
How deep is it? Is it a deep dish pie? If I'm guessing I'd say yeah.
Okay. Is it franchise pie? I would say.
You would say? I don't know what kind of pie we're talking about. Is it franchise tag pie? I don't know, I mean. Long term pie?
Is it long term pie? I don't know, I just want a piece of the pie. Just put it like that. Okay.
That's it? Yeah, okay. And is it a pie that starts with a four?
Is it a pie that starts with a four? I just said I'm leaving it up to my agents to cut my piece of the pie. I'm just ready for it and ready to eat. Okay.
When that happens I'm ready to get to work and excited for this off season. And now we've also heard through DeMarcus Ware told us that when you sit in Jerry's office, have you gotten the Jerry's office meeting yet? I've been in Jerry's office.
Okay. And that he lights a candle, turns the lights down and gives you a whole Dallas Cowboy speech. Have you had that? You have not had that yet?
No, I haven't had that one yet. He says that that happens when he's trying to close a deal. So I think you'll know that you're really close if you walk in. Lights go down.
Thank you for that warning and that heads up. So now I know like what's going on when that happens. There's apparently a votive candle with a Dallas Cowboy star right on the side of it. I don't know if it's scented. It's make me to smell it.
It make me the smell of pie of some sort. I'm just saying that hasn't happened yet is what you're saying. It hasn't happened. Okay. When you get that call, you know, wow, I'm close. All right.
That's the history of Dak on this program. All of it can be seen on our YouTube channel, youtube.com slash rich eyes and show back on the rich eyes and show radio network. I'm sitting at the rich eyes and show desk furnished by Granger with supplies and solutions for every industry. Granger has the right product for you.
Call click ranger.com or just stop by. For those of you who are listening, let me bring up to you up to speed of what those on the Roku channel are seeing. This is a lot of food on my desk right now. Arby's is partnering with AC Barbecue, AB AC BBQ and offering two new sandwiches featuring a AC's barbecue sauce. AC is owned by Anthony Anderson and Cedric the entertainer. Anthony's making his way here. Cedric is already here.
Great to see you set up. By the way, this smells phenomenal. I'm not going to lie. That's how we do it, man. I mean, one, you know, it's morning time. I know that people think like, this is a little early for a roast. You know, we got brisket and we got pulled pork and of course the curly fries and regular crinkly fries from your old high school lunchroom. What are you a crinkly or curly? I'm a crinkly fried dude. Like I love the crinkly fries, man.
You know, that's a, that's the kind that, you know, you used to throw them in, even the old writers in the oven. You know, these kids don't have to know it. They don't know anything about that today. Kids today they're in their string fries, please. No.
Yes. I'm a fried person. I shouldn't try to chat with you a mouthful.
You're already, you're already in. What are you going on over there? Chris?
Can you turn his microphone on? I'm eating a barbecue brisket sandwich. You're leaving some of it on the left corner of your mouth. With the sweet barbecue sauce. The Cedric's Bussin Brown, baby. So that brown sugar.
So Anthony has the spicy chipotle. Is this specific to your tastes or are you just like, you know, you took one for the team and I'll take the sweet. No, that's kind of my taste. We, we, we work with their, you know, we went down to Arby's work with their culinary scientists and in the kitchen, test kitchen, but I'd lean toward the, I realized this, you know, even though I'm from St. Louis, which we kind of have a more of a spicier kind of sauce, but lately the sweeter taste has been my kind of my palette, man.
Well, I'm, I'm, I'm with you. I don't do spice at all. I can't do the sauce.
I've got the sweet right here. So I'm going curly fry. Don't judge me.
Okay. People who are curly fry people, you get it. You know, I'm going to judge you as I told you you're wearing some of it on the left side of your mouth and you have not since wiped it. You know what I mean? You've got a five year old at home.
Can't you write? The Met Gala just happened. That's what I mean. Barbecue chic is what I'm going for. That's it. That's going to be next year's theme. I'd like to, you're meeting the requirements. Have you ever done the Met Gala? No, they, I don't know that, you know, I'm extremely fashionable and always super sexy.
So I don't know exactly what their problem is. Anna or whoever runs things over there. Let's go.
I can do this. I can out dress them all while you're doing it right now, including you, Colman Domingo. He's been just really well dressed the last year and a half. And it's like, you gotta, he's the litmus. So you just like, uh, well when Anthony, when Anthony's pulling in right now, uh, so when he gets here, we're going to run through some of the football player. Uh, I don't know if you've seen some of the, some of the war to the Met Gala.
And I'd love to get your guys' opinion of what it was. That'd be good. That's going to be fun.
We'll do that. You know, the tunnel walks has always been, that started it whenever they kind of get ready. And so now I think those guys were kind of getting ready for the Met Gala.
And so I think this would be fun. This is going to be good. You got two cents on the NBA playoffs at present, Cedric.
I mean, I'm actually kind of quite surprised. I mean, you know, um, I was really kind of, I love the young teams, be honest, you know, I mean, uh, but of course we grew up on Steph and the Golden State Warriors, but I love that Houston gave them a really great run and they were fun to watch. Uh, so that's over now and now, you know, and, and to see, uh, Ant-Man and you know, and, and, uh, the Knicks grinded out. By the way, the spicy man, the man with the barbecue spice welcome back. It's your fries. I mean, the best, as you know, the best thing is other people's fries. And I'm Tommy Lee.
He's the Will Smith of it all. Good to see you, Anthony. How are you? I'm all right, man.
Yeah. So, uh, it was crazy this morning. I'm so sorry.
We're apologize for nothing, sir. Uh, I just want to make sure that you're going to get to your opening in a century city later on today, a barbecue restaurant, a little brick and mortar opening the doors to, uh, uh, the, to their first brick and mortar restaurant at Westfield, a century city already wildly popular barbecue brand. Here we go. I mean, and Arby's got your own set of the whole thing.
It's fantastic. We got the sauce, we got the sauce together. So, um, why spicy and not sweet?
Anthony, I've never asked you this question before. I'm referring to the barbecue sauce. I was about to go take us in a whole different direction.
Explain why I was late this morning. Just something a little different, you know, um, because I'm saucy, you know, I'm spicy. So, you know, just one with Chipotle smoke. Have you had, have you had one yet? I have not had the pork yet or the brisket.
What would you guys suggest? It doesn't matter. I don't think you have to put your sauce on there.
I don't know if the sauce is already. So make a choice. Okay.
I'm sorry. I'm not a spicy guy. The bus and brown sugar is like a great name.
Okay. Uh, it's a great sauce. You love that. Arby's of course, you know, do quality meats.
We have been doing our brand for, you know, three years and we wanted, we wanted a company that we knew, uh, to collab with. I love that. I love that.
How much meat do you put in your mouth at once? Wow. I don't even know what you mean with the name pause at all. You didn't even slow down.
You didn't pause phenomenal. No, it is. I know you're not into spice. Try it. All right. It's just a dollar. Yeah.
A dollar. Yeah. Okay.
Now you're going to make me, you're making me self-conscious about how much I'm putting in, uh, at once. Here we go. All right.
It's not like I'm in hot ones right now, but no, yeah, it's good. Congratulations. Thank you.
Yeah. We got people with different palates all over the country. And so that's one of the things that, and then Anthony, now we kind of bring that to, to the relationship in general, you know, a little bit of edge over here, a little bit of, you know, kind of sweetness, coolness and it's, it's, it's interchangeable. It's a very sweet guy at times.
I could see what your relationship is. Are you still mentally on the 405 right now? Cause when I'm stuck in traffic or I'm late for something, I can't get out of it.
It's a riptide. I can't get out of it. No, I'm all right. Can I help you in any way, shape or form?
Or what can we do? Okay. Yep. Anyone here that can rub my feet. There is somebody to do it. I just don't know. Coffee. Oh, somebody bring me the coffee. Okay.
Here's what I would like to do. If you don't mind, uh, the Met Gala just took place. I don't know if you, have you ever been to the Met Gala?
I've never been to the Met Gala. The last couple of years I was like, yo, what can we do? And so we've been trying to do it and we're not doing the right thing. We're not doing the right thing. Here's what we're going to do then. Uh, if there is no bridge, let's just torch it anyway.
So I've got some photographs of some NFL players who went to the Met Gala and I'd love to get your guy's opinion of, uh, of their fashion sense or anything like that. Let's do it. Uh, first up, uh, what do we have first up here? Oh, okay.
Go for it. Uh, Stefan Diggs right here. Uh, gents, you're, you're two cents on Stefan Diggs is, uh, quite fashionable person. This has a John Snow King of the North.
I don't know what in the Tyrion Lannister is going on. Winter is not coming. Winter is here. I'm digging the red boots though. I'm trying to figure out if they're ankle boots or if they call it mid, mid shin. And it's a, so you know the white pants with a big thing. Is that, is that a pants with a little waist jacket? Is it a pan or is it a skirt? I think it is the full jacket that you can't see because it's covered by whatever, whatever animal he's wearing.
The way I, I looked at that was a, it, it looked like he was going to McDowell's and Queens after the money. I don't know. Where's my son? Where's my son? My son.
James Earl Jones collection. He kept it 100 with the braids though. He just didn't change the hairstyle at all. The shawl is actually made of, what kind of mole hair is that?
It seems like, like German Shepherd, which Peter would be so upset about. He killed Cujo. He's wearing Cujo. So I knew you guys would like that one.
All right. Who do we have next here on the order? It's Joe Burrow. What is Joe Burrow doing?
That's boring. Joe Burrow is the Met Gala fam. What PGA meeting are you going to?
Where are you doing Joe? Now I'm really upset. He got the invite and wore that. It's off the rack. I mean, it's not fitting. It's not fitting at all. Oh, that's not fitting Joe Burrow. That was like, Oh my God, why don't we run the Macy's and get me a suit supply.
He either went to suit supply or men's warehouse. Okay. I was like, I gotta get to this thing tonight. One of the first couples of the national football league. We have Russ and Ciara right there. Come on now.
Come on. I'll knock Russ out and get right there next to Ciara. If you did that, would you keep his cane? Would you use the cane? The cane is a must. Matter of fact, I would start with the cane and then get Ciara. Where does one get a cane? I don't know, from the planter's store?
It's like a very Mr. Peanut look right there. I believe you just kind of just dress down an umbrella. You take a, you take a umbrella and you just pick the little, the sides of the umbrella. And say, would you keep the cane black or would you candy strap it? For the outfit I would do it, you know, he's referring to Cap by Versace. So the cane is, you know, we do the red and white cane and I'm actually a skilled cane.
I can do some skilled cane tricks. What about the cape? The cape is, you don't even need the gala for the cape. The cape is for Ralph's. The cape is me going to Harvey's getting the sandwich. Ingest the cape.
The cape and the cane. With a monocle. And a small dog or a big dog. You can get a small dog or a new one.
Or a thimble. It's like, look, it's the monopoly guy. Who knew Cedric was a monopoly? I imagine there is no free parking at the Met Gala. No.
I just found out tickets were $75,000. No wonder I'm not invited. You're sponsored, you know, you're sponsored by, you know, a fashion house. No.
So a suit supplier, men's wear houses. This is crazy. Two more.
I believe Deandre Hopkins. What do you think? Okay. I kind of did this kind of Transylvania. Yeah. It's a little Vampirish. Yeah. What's going on with the hair? Well, that's the thing. I think that's one of the assets. I like the way he does the hair always.
But I think you're right. I think you could have had more folded shoes. Like some shoes. It's so black and it's silky and that's elegant. It is. It's very monochromatic. I'm jealous of the hair.
I would love to have hair like that. Let's just be honest. Oh sure. I mean, I need to crawl before I walk. Can we put the ops here on rich? We put rich in our sweaters last time. If you heard you'd hear members of the show staff that's actually doing that.
I feel like there are people that are giving them a task. All right. In the meantime, one last one. The Superbowl champion Jalen Hurts with his new wife. Congratulations.
She's unmarried and maybe the chapeau came in the registry. I don't know. I like it. I think it's sharp. I love the top.
The blazer is really clean. What do they call it? A beret? You just bought a beret while we were in Spain. I bought a beret in Spain. Not only that, but you bought a neckerchief as well to match the beret. Yes. I was in Europe guys. What happens in Europe?
He wasn't playing in Spain. Now I've got, I've got some followups. Does one buy the neckerchief after the beret? Do you spot the beret first? And then you, and then what made you think, Oh, I need, I need neckwear to go with this. I saw the beret and I was like, Oh, that was fly. I'm gonna get the beret. And then I was thinking like, how does one wear a beret? And I was like, Oh, you need a cool shirt and a neckerchief.
And boom, bop, boom, bam. It was crazy. I watched it unfold.
What was your perspective? I did have shoppers in me. I actually tried to get a neckerchief myself. My neck was a little too thick. You cashed him out of neckerchiefs? Hey man, we were in a fancy place.
One item per box that they ship you. But no, I watched it unfold. I was like, yo, Seth's about to get the beret. And he was just sitting there and I saw it happening in his head.
How do I rock this? I'll take that too. It wasn't, it wasn't even a second guess. It was just like, give me, I mean, talk about dandyism.
I mean, Seth did it right there. Can we talk about dandyism? Cause I had no idea. That it was a thing.
Yeah, that it was a thing. And it's, you know, modern day that doesn't really sound cool. Right. You know, cause you're dandy, you know, you can't really sell that to the kids.
Sure. But then it made a comeback to where you get it. Now you see it's like the guys that like dress up with the spats and the nice cool hats.
And you're like, Oh, that's a dandy. All right. Cause you know. Right. And just one last question about the beret.
Do you wear it like Jalen, which is the large part out fur or do you wear it the other way around? You know? Yeah. I wear it like, like you're an impressionist painter or look like that or, or that you are a part of an elite, uh, SEAL team. Well, well, first off, anytime you wear a beret, uh, paired with a decorative, your, uh, your language changes.
Yes. And I had a desire to drive a very small convertible. I don't know why I was like, Oh, these cars, it was so small. They're only sat in one.
These American cars are just too much for the hat. You know? Fantastic. All right.

You saw the end of Cavs and Pacers last night where Terry Saliburton purposely missed the second free throw because they're down by two, gets the rebound, shoots the three, beats the Cavs, but the final buzzer pretty much and then celebrates this way. Yeah. Big cajones. Showing it off. Oh wow. Big cajones, baby. Wow.
Right there in front of Cleveland. Yeah, that's what you do. A hundred guys, you got to fight the gorilla. You got to see him. I wonder if he was like, we have the meats. I wonder if that was running through his head right now. I mean, you know.
He did his best Ving Rhames voice. Y'all see why his daddy ran up there and ran out on Giannis like that. Everybody's just wild in the family. You like, okay, I thought this dude was like, wow. Yeah, but sometimes you got to show up and you got to pop out and show him.
It was way more tone than I thought. It's like the way that, you know, like you said, you missed a shot. Yeah. He gets it. He's trapped like in the paint. Then he dribbles out.
Then he doesn't step back free. I'm like, how much time was actually left on the clock? Like 10 seconds. He got the rebound at like eight, eight, nine seconds. Okay.
Okay. It definitely was a lapse in, you know, in a defensive preparation for Cleveland for that. Cause that, that just was crazy.
Like you can't let that nobody boxed out. I didn't see it. So how did he get his own rebound? He had the front of the rim. What did, what did the front of the rim stepped into the paint, grabbed it. Oh wow. Got, got, uh, and you had to, he had to get out of there cause there was a three second call.
He just goes to three pointers. I'll just through the step back and then, and then both hands. Yeah. I mean, well you got in there. Yeah. Well you got to, if you do that. Yeah.
You can do that. Yeah. I mean that's warranted, you know?
And, and um, you know, I mean Michael famously beat the calves in the final seconds there, but he just, he, he never did that. Yeah. You don't do that. Yeah. Like you gotta, you gotta, you gotta be on social media, man. You gotta have a meme. That's the memes. We have the memes.
That's a very interesting one. That's what you're saying. That's what you're gonna be known for right there. Like, Hey, I'm heavy. As Barry would say, I'm hung low. I'm heavy in structure.
If I pull it out the whole room, I get dark. I ain't scared of you. I ain't scared of you motherfucker. Oh my gosh. Oh yeah. See I knew just showing you guys that, uh, it would be a winner.
I wonder if he uses the bus and brown sugar or just smoke, whatever you pour on him, eat this. Oh my God. Very good. Number one in your heart. Number two in his hand. Number two in his hands. Tyrese Hallibault.
Good thing this show's on radio. Is that a Rams championship ring on your ring? No, but I have one. No, this is, this is my fraternity.
Uh, uh, uh, yeah, no. So that's a Kappa. I'm an Omega.
You know, we, we, we, we, we represent the divine nine. Okay. So that, that's a, I've never seen a fraternity or any quite like that. It's a ring.
I, it's, it's, it's a, it's a coveted fraternity that I wanted to be a part of my entire life. So it was a gift to myself. Okay. Yeah. It does look like a Superbowl ring from all the way over here. Thank you. So you do have a Rams one.
You do have, uh, no, I was just lying. What did they win in? And we were soaked. It was the first year. So five was almost, it was three years ago. Yeah. That's four years ago.
Yeah. When they won, we were, we, you wouldn't swear. We were on every, at every play in the locker room. We were on the field.
We definitely should got rings. I got untaped after the game. I don't know how I got taped to begin with, but they were like, yeah, I ain't coming.
Let me cut your tape off. I was like, I, I'm sitting there. I'm going to OBJ. I'm nursing his, his, his injury. I'm in the press room. No, we, we got, we, we had the trophy. We had the champagne. We had the, so we had all that. We almost got interviewed.
Did you go to Disneyland to Disney also? Oh my gosh. Okay. Yeah. You guys ready for this year too? They look loaded for bear. They really do like this, the way it ended last year. Yeah.
You know, they came as close as any of the games, closer than anybody to beating the Eagles in the playoffs last year. We shall see football is going to be interesting this year. It's like a lot of cool little moves.
People moving around. So we shall see. Okay.
We shall see. Uh, in the meantime, let's, uh, let's sell some, uh, some sandwiches and sauces. And okay. So the bus and Brown sugar sauce, that's yours, Cedric.
Right. Uh, and the chip, the spicy chipotle smoked sauce. That's yours barbecue. And, um, you're partnering with Arby's so people can just go to an Arby's and get this stuff.
Okay. So, you know, it's Arby's everywhere.

So, uh, so they had, uh, hold on a second.
