From the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. I like Justin Fields. A dislocated toe in his right foot. He's day to day. He could be back tomorrow.

Three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlerth. Steelers general manager Omar Khan. Coming up. Three-time Emmy Award-winning actor Tony Hale. And now.
It's Rich Eisen. Hour number three of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air. One of our favorite humans to appear on this program. Is this the fourth appearance of Tony Hale on this show? I was thinking it's got to be at least four.
Okay. Um this guy's as funny and talented as they come. From Arrested Development and Beef back in the day. Also, The Mysterious Benedict Society is just an awesome show that he did for a couple of years, won an Emmy for that too. Um he's in our green room right now, another beautiful.
A project of his called Sketch is available in theaters nationwide. beginning Wednesday, August 6th, currently. on rotten tomatoes, 100%. And you know in this day and age, There's always somebody that's just gonna. Yeah.
I mean, even somebody left Ichiro and Derek Jeter off their Hall of Fame. Stupid. You know, ballots, right?
So dumb.
So to get 100% in this day and age, Pretty cool. And it's always a delight when he joins us, and he shall very shortly. 844-204-RICH is the number to dial on the program. We're going to take a bunch of phone calls.
So Christian Wilkins gets cut. By the Vegas Raiders. And, you know, it's got to be something significant when Pete Carroll is going to just take one of the top defensive linemens in the league. from a couple of years ago and just say, yeah, this is It's not working out. Um Guy got hurt last year.
And This year wasn't at any of the OTAs. on the field. Um And There was a big question as to whether he was going to even be able to come back. and play this year. Um wasn't at the mandatory mini camp.
He did show up without a helmet in. In an 11 on 11 period for the first OTA practice open reporters this Spring But 17 tackles, 2 sacks, and 6 quarterback hits in 5 games before he got hurt. This is a guy who got a massive contract. to leave the Miami Dolphins. and join the Vegas Raiders.
And Apparently The Raiders thought he needed another surgery on his foot, didn't want to get it, according to ESPN, were balked at getting it. The Raiders then voided the guaranteed money left on his deal to quote unquote failure to maintain his physical condition to play. Needless to say, they went ahead and On Wilkins's side. Filed a grievance. It's just like, okay, so I got hurt.
It's not fast enough for you. You're going to cut me and not pay me money. I don't know the legality of all this, and this may go to an arbitrator or whatever. He had 50 days. to file a grievance and apparently The um The uh grievance Being filed on Thursday was the 50th and final day that he had a chance to do it.
Yeah. So, yeah, Pete Carroll said they spent a lot of time figuring out what to do and how to handle this, ultimately, they decided to move on because they didn't believe there was a path. For him to return to play. Yeah, the money that they voided on his contract was on June 4th.
So he had 50 days to file a grievance. He did it. And the Raiders... I think said Adios. I don't know if the grievance led to the cut or the cut led to the grievance being filed.
Wow. But that's just one of those things where Man, he was the defensive free agent two years ago. He was. And then you put him on the same line as Max Crosby. I thought, okay, this is another reason why Pete Cowell would want to take a job like this.
Now Every team in the league, I'd imagine, is Finding out. When can they Test drive this this guy's Fine. And you know you know that guy in the hat? for the Dallas Cowboys that you never want to see standing over any player. Right?
Cowboy hat. Cowboy hat guy. Guy in the hat. Don't want to see the guy in the hat. No.
In D in Dallas. That guy in the hat in Dallas, do you think... The Dallas Cowboys are going to call the guy in the hat or whoever they have on their staff. And say Let's find out about Christian Wilkins. ASAP.
Right? Like Big time. But if he can't play and he can't do it, that's a different situation. Patriots are looking into him, apparently, right? Yeah, Mike Vrabel had a relationship with Christian Wilkins.
He recruited him when he was at Olympic State. Coaching at Iowa State. Yeah, he's from New England. When he was at Iowa State, Vrabel talking to him.
So there it said they're gonna kick the tires, have a have a conversation and and see what see what's what. And I again, it's one of those things. Top five prime destinations for Christian Wilkins is your team. Your team. Your team.
Your team. Unless he can't play and Isn't According to the Raiders, let me get another. Uh not taking is what rehab Seriously enough, I don't know. They didn't follow what they wanted them to do, and so that's it. This transaction is necessary for the entire organization to move forward and prepare for a new season, according to the Las Vegas Raiders.
You don't usually see that sort of thing. No. So there you have it. Is Christian Wilkins healthy? And if he is, Will he play this year?
And then the question is, why not for the Raiders?
Okay. Yeah, losing out on uh thirty seven million dollars in guarantees. Unless he wins his grievance. Unless he wins the grievance. Because that's a massive cap hit.
I think on the Cat Mix, you're 55 million bucks for the Raiders. That's a big chunk. That's a massive chunk of your It's crazy. Suffered in his left foot, from a Jones fracture last October.
So That's the latest there. I'm not going to chime in. I have no idea what's right, what's wrong, who's right, who's wrong. Yeah, no. But it's just wild that one of the best defensive free agents from two years ago is now available for anybody to Kick the tires on.
Mike in Wappinger's Falls, New York. What's up, Mike? Hello, Richard. How are you? I'm fine.
What a blessing to hear from somebody from your neck of the woods. What's going on? I was uh Wondering if you guys would like to do the worst to first game. I looked it up.
Okay. And since 2002, only four years did they not have a team go from worst to first, and it was last year included. Look at you. Yes, thank you. I was doing this with my buddy the other day.
Look at you bringing nuggets to the table. I had no idea, Mike. Woppinger Falls nuggets. Those are the best types of nuggets.
Okay. So, what do you think? You want to give me some ideas? What do you got? I'm thinking San Francisco seems like an obvious choice.
Let's remove them from the equation. What do you say? Yeah, I I think that that's really no fun. Chris, what are what are what are Mike who are Mike's options? Do you have uh so last year's worst place team, San Francisco, New Orleans, Chicago and the Giants in the NFC?
Raiders, Titans, Browns, Patriots, AFC. I gotta go with the Bears because up there because of them. I don't know, I'm just not buying anybody at this point. Uh uh you know, in that division, so Maybe they are the ones who could flip it this year. And I know the Lions, you know, we're the number one seed.
I get it. But that's the division I don't trust any of the teams the most.
Okay. Thank you very much, Mike. Not a bad choice, the Bears, right? Because Ben Johnson's coming in. And we're assuming just right off the bat.
He's going to tell Caleb Williams how to watch films. Yeah. Right? Just one must assume, and we know assuming is dangerous. Because of what it makes you.
I'm going to assume it's already been done. We're assuming they're already down that road, right? Like that horse has already left the barn, the bear has left the den.
Okay. Um, they're not hibernating on that issue. I don't know how many other. references we can make here. But apparently they're also Ben Johnson is building a dynasty there in Chicago Yes.
So says Kevin Butter. Oh. We're trying to win the Super Bowl. I think Bruce said it in an interview when he was doing his training camp, but it was true. Ben Johnson wants to build a dynasty, and we want to be that dynasty.
We want to be the guys that kind of get this thing started. Myself, I want to be one of the guys that kind of build the foundation of that and continue to go as long as we possibly can.
So that's the goal. But like I said, man, we have a long way to go to be able to accomplish that. All right. But it's also, you know, that time of year. It's that time of year.
You know, we should do a segment, like a daily segment. Everybody's 0-0 and going to be 17-0. That's training camp positivity.
So should we call it? What the The half-full glass summer. Sure. I mean Right? I like it.
Today's champion may be Bill Musgrave, the quarterback coach of the year. This guy, man, some of these quotes. He called Kenny Pickett's first two practices of training camp, quote-unquote, stellar. Stellar. The two rookie quarterbacks, Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders, Both rookies have really progressed.
They're both going to have fantastic careers. Oh. Okay. Okay. All right.
They're both. Yeah. So that's great. Call Joe Flacco a six-foot-six flamethrower. Mm-hmm.
Still has one of the NFL's best arms. Bill Musgrave, man. And can he come here and just like hype us up, Mike? What do we got? We got sunshine and rainbows there in Perea, huh?
Love it.
Okay. Shador Sanders spoke with the media today.
So did Dylan Gabriel, by the way.
Okay. But um seriously. With all due respect to Dylan, I mean we gotta We're here from Shador, right? Since we're always accused of being Shador's biggest cheerleaders. Mm-hmm.
This should do nothing to dispel anybody of that notion in a YouTube comment or so. All right, what is Shador talk about? What are we talking about with Shador Sanders? Oh, the competition. That's got to be I mean, it's stellar.
It involves a flamethrower, a stellar performer, and two future fantastic rookies. Great careers. One of them is Shadur. How are you approaching the Four-man competition as we get to training camp, as we get closer to season, and then week one. I'm focused on doing me.
I'm focused on learning what I need to learn. Um That's simply it. Are you thinking about winning that job for week one? I don't think nobody in this organization is here if they're not trying to win. Honestly, uh I think You know, they're trying to win who gives out the best water and Gatorades out here.
So it's definitely a competition, everything in life.
So many cameras out here, it's definitely competition with content. Obviously too, so I think everything in life Uh boils down to competition. I love it. Spoken just like his dad. Shador wants to be in the water boy, too, talking about handing out the best game.
He seems out the content. He knows he's got his content gold. Uh his uh speeding tickets were brought up. Quote, definitely learned not to drive fast. I really don't even drive that much anymore.
I hope everybody learned from my situation to not drive fast at all. Smart. Yes, that's correct. Smart. Is he taking the Berea Waymos now?
Is that what's happening now? I would like that. Have you been in one of those? I have not. Me neither.
I'm going to do it. The guys that play Pokemon swear by it. They love it. I got to try it.
Well Mike. I'm there. Who are you going to talk to? Listen, hold on a second. You.
It's your perfect. No, it's not. Not for you. Maybe for somebody with a 4.6 rating. Where you just want to talk to people.
You're going to talk to yourself in there. Waymo's got a little computer in there. Who knows? No, dude, it's not like Kit, it's not Knight Rider. Doesn't talk to you.
At least I don't think. I'm going to try. I just know that reference, dude. That was a great kit reference. Dude, kids don't know about it.
I started hearing. Hello, Mike Del Tufo. Where do you want to go? Tell us about your Roman friends that you hand fit. I'm going to text my friend because he takes them all the time.
Okay. I bet you it talks to you. And your friend who knows you would know you'd be driving nuts. Can I go in the front seat of it? Would it say you cannot ride in the front seat?
I don't think it talks to you, Mike. That's the problem. You want to be talked to. You want to talk to others. You're an outgoing individual.
The Waymo has to speak wired. The Waymo has to speak. Talk to you. I don't think it does. I've never been to one, but does it?
Yes. What is this? Waymo vehicles communicate with riders and other road users, but not in a conversational way. That is why I have the highest Uber rating, people. I know these cars.
By the way, I would be just my luck to get the only distracted driverless car. Right? I get in there, and the car, the driver that doesn't exist, it's the most distracted Waymo, which is what you would create by talking to it. Susie gets in and one of them has like an a r Yeah, yeah, no, yeah. But that's she would like it because nobody's wearing cologne to drive.
That's too right. She would like it. She would like it. I wouldn't mind it, except for the fact that it would get the only one that distracted. I gotta see if it plays music.
I gotta go, I'm gonna try it. I have to try it. I'm going to try to get a lot of people. They love them. I almost like there, there's times there's three or four of them when I'm coming down Pico.
I don't know. I heard that they're very also They don't take risks. No. These cars don't take risks. Like instead of crossing multiple lanes of traffic, it will go right and then a left and then a left.
That's what I heard. It makes like an 80-year-old Prius driver look like Mario Andretti. Yeah. Right.
So, you know.
Okay, I guess that's a good thing. Nothing slower than a Prius driver here in Los Angeles. I've never seen one pulled over for speeding. No. Ever.
And I'm caught behind it. Every time. It's like sitting next to someone in a plane in the order of V8 because I don't like tomato juice. I'm with you, Rich, on that one. 100%.
Always. I didn't think we would go here. Nope. No, I'm sorry. I brought us in this conversation.
I took us in the Waymo world. That's all right. The Waymo world. It's all good. 844-204-Rich is the number to dial.
Let's bring our next guest out. He's a delight. He's sitting in our green room. I think he's done with the popcorn that we have back there. Oh.
Good for him. Get your popcorn ready for Tony Hale, the award winner. Coming out here to talk about Sketch in Theatres Near You Wednesday, August 6th.

That's my whole identity because I won Emmy Awards. Emmy Award-winning actor. That's so interesting.
Well, that's what I was told. That's how you demand to be introduced, Tony. Only value. Hey, this is Tony Hill. He's won Emmys.
He has one Emmys. I'm a father.
Okay. Husband. Keep going. Really good friend. There's more to you.
Yeah. Thank you. Than just the statues. Thank you. I did bring them, though.
That would be amazing. One, two, three. But not my identity. Not at all. Sketches available in theaters nationwide beginning Wednesday, August 6th.
Essentially, Inside Out meets Jumanji. Jumanji.
Okay. Or Jurassic Park. Inside Out meets, because it's this incredibly fun family film with this just undertone of just really powerful talk about processing feelings. Already the audience has rejoined. It's not been in the best clip because it's kind of confusing, but she gets in trouble for drawing these pretty crazy pictures.
And this therapist tells her, because they were about a bully, and tell her, I said, did you want to do these things? And she was honest. And she said, yeah. And the therapist said, Well, I think it's a good idea you drew them rather than did them. And it talks a lot about processing feelings.
And then these pictures come to life. And it is, oh, guys, it's so good. I really can't wait for people to see it.
Well, that's why it's 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. My mother, my father wrote one. That's two for two. That's two for two.
But that clip right there, Tony, just speaks so many volumes where you're waiting for your kids to come home from school and you're happy and then all. Crap begins, just go straight down the crapper because you have no idea what is going on in school. You have no idea. I know. And questions are not answered.
Never. No. Which is fine. Or is Dio right? Yeah.
It's like, okay, well, I've got a whole narrative in my head. Yes. Is this where we should now say we definitely love our children? Is this a part of the conversation we should just remind everybody? I adore my daughter.
I adore her. But my daughter, I don't know if she just finished her freshman year at college. Dude, she's absolutely loving it. The weird thing is, when she's home. Yes.
You know, it's a false sense of control, but you're always like, when she's driving, you're like, be careful, be careful, be careful. And now you don't have that, it's such a powerless feeling. Like, you just kind of let them go. Yes, you have to trust that they are making good choices.
Well, Chris, you're far away from that. I am. Cage is five, right? Yes. Cage is five.
So Sketch is perfect for Cage. Cage is, yeah, he's perfect. This is great. Yeah. It's really, and it's just so.
Because the cool thing is, when she draws these pictures and they come to life, they don't look CGI, they don't look. Out of time, they're they look like they were drawn by a kid with like crayons or markers or chalk. Sure. And you see the textures, and it's like this is one of them in the poster. This is Dave that she drew in her notebook.
And it's just a really beautiful film. And again, it's... It took us eight years to get made. Eight years? Eight years, yeah.
So like studios need to be arm twisted or yeah, we had well, we had all the we had the idea kind of back. He had the idea and we kind of went back and forth and lost financing, found financing. Sure. It was going to be a TV show and then in and out of producers and finally found someone. And then with the posts and special effects, we finally got it made.
And it's like, man, it's like launching a baby into the world. Of course. I imagine.
So this predates most of the last few things that you've done. Yeah, totally, totally. But it's always been on the works. And so to finally get it out there is exciting. That is pretty cool.
Well, congratulations. Thanks, man. Thank you very much.
So the last few times you've been here, you've been cultivating Sketch and now it's finally here and you're here talking about it. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. Congratulations on that. Again, it's available in Theaters Native.
beginning Wednesday, August the 6th.
So what else is going on in your world? We just moved down south.
Okay. I moved to Alabama.
Okay. Interesting for someone from Georgia. To be in Alabama, right?
Okay. All right. And my um and you know, as you know, uh football's kind of a faith down there.
So I've had to I may or may not have bought a bought a book called uh uh Football for Dummies just to figure out the game. Let's stop it.
So let's. I feel some judgment in this room. No! We do not judge. I'm out here.
The more we think we know, we don't know. I may or may not have watched a few YouTube videos playing in the game. But it's so great. I mean, we needed to. Where the monsters come to life.
Where the unique monsters. There you go. And, you know, my wife's family is an hour from Alabama. My parents are in Georgia. My sister's in North Carolina.
So we're in South. And for 30 years, between New York and LA, we've been away from family.
So once my daughter graduated, I decided to make the movie. Awesome. Fantastic. And Toy Story 5 is in the works. Toy Story 5 is in the works.
And so Forky comes back. Yeah. And I'm actually going to send a little voice memo to Cage. Maybe I should do that now. And I'll send it to you.
Let's do this now. Sure. Let's do this.
So right now. And by the way, I do. Bring it over, sir. I should mention, you were kind enough to just offer this. Camera, I will say this.
You're don't ever underestimate my selflessness.
So, what you're gonna do is, this is for Cage. Do you have a voice memo app? Do you got a voice memo app?
Okay, hold on a minute. Why are we iCloud syncing? Here you go. Chris Brockman's phone case.
Okay, good. And it's Cage, right? I will have you know he has a lovely mustard yellow phone case that you're wearing. What is that about? In case I lose it, I can find it.
Yeah, it's actually a good idea. Oh, is that really the only reason, or do you like the color yellow, which is fine too? I mean, I enjoy mustard, the concrete. And then that's about it. All right, so this is Cage, right?
Mm-hmm. Ugh. Hey Cage, this is Forky from Toy Story. How's it going? Hey, I have heard you are the coolest kid, and I just wanted to say hello.
All right, Cage, I hope you have a great week. Bye-bye. Phenomenal. Fantastic. So now, after he sees the movie or like the little forge, little shorts, you cannot tell him it's a human.
You have to say, hey, I met Forky. And then he's like, how in the heck did Forky say my name? Yes. Well you've come across many sporks in your life, right? Big spork house.
You know what I mean? That's true. Let's break that down later. That's true. Big spork house.
I'm not Googling the rules of football, buddy. Yo, look at this guy. Oh! Seriously! Listen, listen.
Fair game, fair game. Let me choose you. This is a match going to him coming out. Our guests with three Emmy awards. Thank you.
My identity. I was about to say, ask me any question about football, and then I was like, no, don't do that. His identity wasn't. And isn't plastic cutlery, sir. That's right.
What have you learned so far about the game? Oh, I really genuinely will shame myself. No, no, no, no.
Okay, so there's many things. I mean, okay, simple. I had to go down to like. We're talking like first downs and all this kind of stuff. And there was a time when my naivete, I'd watch the game and all I could think about was how is the camera not being hit by a ball?
By the way, hold on a minute. Not crazy because there are those cameras that steady cam, they've hit wires. That has happened. I've never seen that, but I don't know why it doesn't happen every single game. That's an excellent question.
You know, because the shot I'm seeing is right in there. And it's like, why is this not a common occurrence? By the way, stay behind the play. We had many moons ago, the actress Gillian Jacobs was on this program. She didn't understand why.
Downs weren't called chances. That it should be second chance and five, third chance. Also, what a more positive spin on a word. You know what I mean? Like, it's not downs, it's more, hey, you've got a chance.
You can achieve your dreams. Bro, second down, man. You really, you don't have many more. You're going down. That's right.
You're not wrong. That's also why do we always say, why are taking pictures, why are they so violent? Like, take a picture, shoot a camera, capture a photo. Yeah. That's true.
Why are they so violent? I'm going to go here with this. Where do you stand on the word solid as a complimentary adjective?
Okay. Tony, honey. Where do I go? Hey, solid. You know, like, hey, I saw a sketch.
That's a solid movie. That's a solid movie. Right? Like, you don't want to be called solid. I know I'm influencing the juror right here.
Okay. No, yeah. I would be curious where you go with that because I go with like it holds weight. Meaning it's like it matched my expectation of rather than had holes in it. My thought is that there's better adjectives.
Oh sure. I liked it. I like the word. I liked it. Ha ha ha.
It was a really fine film. It's a fine film. Yeah, yeah.
So, I want to say you would want.
Somebody sees Sketch, you'd rather them call it a solid movie than a fine film. Yeah, that's true, because fine sounds like, yeah, it's fine. But, I mean, of course, I'd like amazing thing that's ever hit the cinemas. But solid, I can hear what you're saying. It might sound a little passive, like, no, it's solid.
That's what I'm saying. That's it. It's a fantastic movie. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not solid. It's fantastic. It's rare. It's terrific. Unless it's the way they say it.
If they come up and go, oh man, it is so solid. Then you're like, okay, I get it. But if someone's like, yeah, it's a solid movie. Then you're like, oh, there's something behind that. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. These guys like solid. Yeah, because I w like is strong. I don't think it's just a h a big negative like you think. It is.
I I I take it as that. Where do you stand on driverless cars, Tony? Where do you stand on a driveway being called a driveway when you're not driving and you're parking? Hmm. Never thought of that.
George Cowlin used to say Parkway is called a parkway? A parkway, yeah. What was your question? A driverless car. Have you seen that?
I'm not there yet. Those haven't hit Alabama? No. No. Also, it just hasn't hit my psyche.
I can't. I don't have the trust. Just like I don't really have the trust of doing a bungee jump thinking that thing's going to catch me. No. You know, it's like completely agreed.
I think all the technology is there. I know they're really safe. Yes. But I'm not there with the trust.
Okay. Yeah. Okay. Even flying out of a plane, I'm not there that that parachute's going to come out. Have you really done that?
Oh, God, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. God, no, God, no, no. Not a chance. No, absolutely not.
I mean, it's like the thing is you're you're attached to a guy who's professional, but who's to say his string doesn't work? Did you do all your own stunts in arrested development? My many emasculated sidekick stunts that I've had throughout my life. Have you done all your own stunts, Tony? No.
There was a time when Buster Bluth went through a plate glass window. That was not me. And then. Did they basically say, like, we think you should be a stunt man, or did somebody try to convince you to go through the play class one? No?
No, I think they said, would you like a stunt man? And I think I said yes before they even asked. I did that as a kid, so you will survive. Thank you. I agree.
I wouldn't use you as the avatar of success. I wouldn't be there. Do you do roller coasters? I used to. And the older I've gotten, it's hard not to go to a narrative that something's going to go wrong.
Oh, my God. That's your default, huh? Yeah. However, this is what's created. I'm not a guy that's like, I don't like being scared.
I don't like someone jumping at me. But damn, do I not like watching YouTube videos where people get scared?
So it's very hypocritical. That sounds like you were telling another story of doing your own stunts or that you didn't. Or am I? Oh, there was one where Buster also was on his hook and he falls through like a roof. And I didn't do that one either.
How did they explain to you that you were going to wear a hook from now on? I mean, how did they explain? There's so many things that they had to explain. I mean, I've said this so many times, but I do remember going up to Mitch and saying, the creator, and being like, hey, I think it'd be a good idea if Buster was on Dancing with the Stars. And he goes, yeah, I think I'm going to have a seal bite off your hand.
And I was like, no, that's better. Or I'll never forget when they come up to me and they'll be like, hey, you got a love interest. And I said, who? And they go, Liza Minelli. And I was like, this is getting better and better and better.
There had to have been a great moment between you and Liza when the cameras were not going. She is so lovely. Took my wife and I out to lunch, told us stories about her mom, sang to us. I mean, she is just a gem. I don't know if we've covered this track before in your multiple appearances here, but you drove her, did you not?
A month. Oh, that's right. We did talk about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Over a month for a film I worked on.
And that's the way that they came up with it. He is dead on. One of the. Nicest people you've ever met. And she gave me $1,000 as a driver at the end of the month as a gift in an envelope.
And it was like, she calls everybody darling, which I love. Yeah, I was just about to say she called her my darling. That's right. And it was, she took me around. I'll never forget the one day, like, I took her to Elton John's Academy Award party after she was filming with me.
Okay. That was one of the shiny moments. But the best was she said, let's drive around. Like Beverly Hills. I'm going to show you all the houses of the family.
It was one of the. If I had a GoPro back then and I could have just done this, she's like, I grew up here. This is where Bob, Bob Clark's house. This is where Clark came from. Yes.
Yes. She's so nice. Wow. Everything was so special. Even how she sat in a chair.
I don't know if you can get this on the camera. Sure, we can. But like, she would, you know, we're all suddenly like this. She sits in a chair like this. I mean, like, at any moment.
Yeah. Like, at any moment, she's about to break out with Cabaret. And I was like, bring it. Shoot out, by the way. Rode up front with me in the car.
Did not ride in the back of the car with me. Daddy, that's the way the concept of driving his cars came into being. Exactly. It was. The minute she sat up front with you, she goes, you know what'll be better.
If you don't. Oh man, I have that image though of like her going, Tony. Can you get me a diet, Coke? And I was like, honey. I will get you whatever you want.
Fantastic. Oh, my God. Speaking of awards, you know what pops into. Oh my God, back to my identity. No, no, no.
Well, actually. What hops into my Instagram algorithm every now and then is the 2013 Emmy Awards. Oh, with Julia. Where Julia Louis Dreyfus wins for best actress in a comedy. Yeah.
And she's walking to the stage, but stops for a second. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's waiting for you to come up with her. And the bit that was done where you're playing Gary Walsh essentially to her Julia Louis Dreyfus. Was that, obviously, this was planned, right?
Or not really. Like, she called me that morning and she said, hey, I'm thinking about if I win, I want you to carry my purse with me. Yeah, there we are. I want you to carry my purse. And I remember thinking, you are going to win.
And this is gonna have to happen. Yes. And we talked about it a little bit, but then it was just, we just did it and just dove in. And thank God, I think it worked. But I was so nervous.
I was so nervous. But also, I'm sure you've met her, but she is so kind and cool. And it's very easy to just play with her and. It was great. Yeah, we're playing.
I think Jason Alexander's coming in later in the fall because he's got a book on Seinfeld coming out, which would mean she's the only one of the four of Seinfeld that has not appeared on the show and would be amazing. Oh, man, she's going to go to the next one. To get her. She's the coolest. She's got so many great stories.
You're saying, you know, the part where she's going through. You know, the people she's thanking, and then you lean over and remind her about her family. That was Adlib? That's uh, I think we had said, like, hey, why don't I remind you your family? She's like, Yeah, but and also, I have to give it the credit too of the direction of that because there was a side shot, and they caught it right on the joke on the front, right?
So, it's like that kind of the magic of that moment was working. Thank God, I was. Petrified, but it was she always wanted to do a bit. I don't know if you noticed in all the award shows, she always wanted to make it funny. She really challenged herself to do that.
Well, I mean, it makes complete sense, you know, because of who she is. And my gosh, that was that comes up every now and then, and I watch it to the end every single time. I'm so glad I'm still in your world constantly. Tony Hale. I need to be on loop.
Come on. No doubt about it. Has there ever been any conversation about Veep getting back together? Oh, man. I would love it.
I mean, I don't know if the end of. The end of the show, you know, spoiler, but she dies. And so it's like many, many years later. I've been in prison because of her. And there's this gap in between that would be really fun to play with.
Yes. I mean, I know that anytime they said yes, we'd all jump at the chance. Right, wouldn't it be? And then, of course, in this world, we can rewind it and bring her back to life. I mean, all my scenes would be in prison.
Well, I mean, the number of times that you see something in real life that people then also do on social media, put the Veep credits at the end of. I see that all the time. What's wild? There's music. Yeah.
We had an episode years ago about where she accidentally tweeted something and it was like, she said on Twitter, she said, Twitter. And that's before this. Every madness with Twitter and Trump and all that stuff. You know, it's like, and we were like, I can't believe it.
Now it's that's that's like every cofevi before there was cofevi, you know, like all those years ago. And so, yeah, that would be, I, I would, I that would, I'd jump at the chance of watching that sort of thing, too. I'm watching this right now. The best part about this, too, is that the purse is so small, and you're and you're like pulling it way up in both hands. I know, just getting a camera, making a camera.
But man, we had such the thing is with her, it was kind of like it just became a comic dance, you know, where you kind of trusted each other. And even little things like when she was getting ready for the day Selena, I'd put on her bracelet and I'd put her jacket on. And we always tried to find physicality beyond the script. Like, how can we make this funny? And then, so it was always playtime.
And I imagine, is it one of those shows as well where you would just play with it, right? You would just start throwing out one line after another, after another, after another. The script was pretty locked. We did have rehearsals where we could come up with bits. Right.
But then once it was locked and we got on set, that's when the physicality of like, she's like, okay, if I drop my coat here, if I drop my purse here, I want you to sweep in and do that. Then it was like, great. Like, that's just, that's when the fun kicks out. Who was the easiest to, the one who would crack up the most? Me.
Really? Me, but Julia, Julia laughed also a lot. And I remember one time I was laughing so hard. She says, Tony, you know you're not watching the show. You're in the show.
And I said, yeah, but it's a funny show. Funny show. Funny show. Sketch, available in theaters nationwide beginning Wednesday, August 6th. Be one of the 100% who says to Rotten Tomatoes, go see it.

Rated PT13 may be inappropriate for children under 13. What is going on with you, Jim Brockmeyer, and Frett Musburger? Is my Musburger face? You know, you can't put that to bed, Richard. You know why you can't put it to bed?
Okay. Because he's a punk. That's why. Brett Musberger is a P-U-N-K punk. The man is a thief.
Okay? Brett Musberger is a thief. How so? Stole my line. What line was that?
This is for all the Tostitos. Remember that? These are all the Tostitos. Remember when he said that? Everybody in the business.
No, it's not funny. Everybody in the business knows that was my line. But he went ahead and used, that's what I always yell when I climax inside of a woman. Or when I'm just when I climax all by myself. Musberger knew that was my line.
He used it anyway at the BCS title game. And ever since then, now I have to yell out, Ruffles have ridges. And it's not the same thing.
So, Verdick, what's the verdict of all that? What did you take from that? He's a punk. Musberger's a punk. That's right.
Here he is, Brett Musberger. How are you, Brent? Hey, Rich, Rich, I'm great. Listen, you guys, you and the producers, you deserve, oh man, a pat on the back. I'm so proud of you guys for trying to help resurrect little Jimmy Brickmeier's career.
We all know the problems, we all know the problems that he had in the past. But if anybody can help Brickmeyer, it's you, Rich. Yeah, well, he says that you stole all the Tostitos from him, Brent. Is that true, or what do you know? From back to you?
No, I got paid. I got paid by a company to drop the name. I got free Tostitos for a week. What are you talking about?
Okay. What's he talking about? You know, the man's delusional. We know he's got mental problems to break down, you know. It's really interesting because as we started these in here.
In Las Vegas, and a brickmeire was having trouble getting a job.
So So he called our executives, and you know, I got to be perfectly honest. Don't tell anybody, but we always talk to prospective announcers just to get an idea. Do they really know anything about sports gambling, or are they just pretending? And I got to tell you. A general manager.
He interviewed Brickmeyer. Ask him about uh uh a three-team parlay. And our boy Jimmy, he thought that that was two hookers with him in a Morristown hotel room. Yeah. You know, Jesus, we would have loved to help him out, but we just can't.
I wish him the best. He's so delusional. And listen, let him go at it. We're all a Tostitos, baby. I mean, that's one of our greatest achievements.
And then at one point, I think after that, we roped Costas in. Yes. We did. Right.
To mediate between Brock Meyer and. Mother's Burger, the punk. Mother's burger. P-U-N-K-L. The Morristown.
That's my God. I'm done. To use the Morristown in New Jersey is a. Do you think he wrote he had someone write that stuff for him? For Brent Like he had because he knew we called him like we knew what was coming out.
Hang on, Jim Brockmeier. He's been calling you a punk. We need you to come on and respond. And he was all in on it.
Okay. He was all in on it. Brent might have. Oh, Brent's smart enough. Maybe he came up with it.
For all the Tostitos, baby. I mean Oh my god.
Okay. Fantastic. Good stuff right here on the program. Lenny in Panama City, Florida is chopping in. What's up, Lenny?
Yeah. Hello. Yes, sliding. Hi. Hey, can you hear me?
We can, Lenny. All right, good. I I've just got all this Uh, canvas bark out of my mouth so I could talk to you instead of the gummies.
Okay, good to know, Lenny. We don't. Hey man, I got a bone to pick with you, Rich. Uh-oh, who? I did your wife, I mean.
I I did um the Buccaneers win loss thing with your wife.
Okay, good to good to good to clarify. Yeah, well she did not take any notes and Chris can confirm this because he's the one that called her out on it. Is that right? She didn't take any notes, Chris? Was it well were we up against it?
Lenny, what was the situation there? I was doing the win-loss thing and I told her that, you know, once again, for the second year in a row, that the Bucks were going to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.
Okay. Well, then I think if that happened, we don't need to play the win-loss game. You're saying 17-10. We don't need to write it down. Oh, okay.
Susie was totally unaware of it because she went on to the second game, and Chris is the one that pointed out that. You need you need to write this down. This is great. She didn't.
Well, I appreciate you. Calling in to clarify, Lenny. I appreciate it. We're.
Well, thank you. This has been bugging me, Beebe. Because a few weeks later, there's a dude who comes up and you told him that he was the first guy to do the Bucks.
Okay, all right.
Now I got it. I see. We apologize on behalf of everyone here and my entire family. We'll fix that. Apology.
Thank you. Thanks for the call, Lenny. Appreciate it. It's Lenny in Panama City, Florida. You can put the cannabis bark back in.
Chew on bark. G-bone bark. There you go. This is what I want to hear from Travis Hunter. I need to hear a chip on his shoulder and I need to hear him to say.
I am going to do what Rich Eisen wants. I am going to play 100 snaps a game. I'm playing both sides of the football. I'm going to play meaningful minutes. I'm going to play meaningful snaps.
I'm going to be great at it. I'm going to be offensive and defensive rookies of the year. I can do it. Anyone who says I can't do it, I am going to show them. You didn't say that exactly.
But tell me if you don't hear at least the spirit of it. What's the hardest part of doing that that people don't know about? Just the work that you put in and when they try to criticize it, it's like I'm already doing all this extra work, you're going to keep telling me I can't do the same thing that I've been doing and showing you.
So it's just that a lot of people just keep downplaying us, but I'm going to just be quiet and just go to work. But that doesn't annoy you when you keep hearing all the doubters at all? No, it actually makes me smile because they don't know what to say, so they're just going to keep hating. He's doing it. He's doing it.
Hey, he's doing it.
Okay. He's doing it. Duval. I mean, let's go. Liam Cohen.
Okay. Release. The hunter. And let everyone become the hunted. Release him.
Not a Christian Wilkins release. I mean, you know what I'm saying. Yeah. Like the hounds really stuff. Oh, baby.
Let's go. How amazing would that be? Jacksonville Jaguars become must-see television. We're flexing into them because you can't miss it. Yep.
Because Travis Hunter is doing what he's doing, Brian Thomas is doing what he's doing, and Trevor Lawrence is doing what he's doing, and Liam Cohen's doing what he's doing, and our friends, and our friends, Joshua Hines-Allen's doing what he's doing. You see what I'm saying? You're picking up what I'm putting down? Travis Hunter, baby, do it. I just wanted to say If Susie was listening right now, I don't believe she is listening.
Mm-hmm. Um But she was listening. Uh-oh.
Solid is solid gold. That's what she said. Opinion on solid. And Brockman has never sounded more like a masshole than ribbing Tony right after he willingly tracked a total gift for Cage. That was nice.
Yeah, it was nice for him to do that. He offered. I didn't ask. He did offer. And we found out you have a how long have you had this mustard floon case?
You know, a few months. Yeah. You know, because I normally get black, but if, you know, if you're looking for your phone and you're like, it's tough to see. It's tough to find. Right.
So I went with like a bright color. Do you need a Steelers logo for it? I don't. Because that's kind of what it looks like.
Well, I was more worried that people would think I was a Laker fan. Yeah, we can get a Lakers logo for you and a matching flag for your car. I don't want either of those.
Okay. Thank you. Stay by your phone, man. I may need you. That was great with Omar Khan today.
Yes. I also wanted to thank Mr. Tony Hale. for stopping by here. Um And Mark Slarith was dynamite too.
He was. You really made me work. For what's more likely today. They were fun. They were good ones.
Great stuff. We'll be back all next week right here on the Rich Isaac Show. Everybody have a great July. Summer weekend. Back to wrap this up in a moment on Roku.
