Dylan O'Brien. And now, it's Rich Eyes and That's right, sitting here on the Rich Islands show desk, proving this is not a no-show job. I'm here on Disney Plus and also the ESPN app, ESPN Radio Sirius XM, and we say hello to you on this Wednesday, a Thursday pro. Wednesday program. Pardon me, I forget what day of the week it is because I'm taking off for Brazil tomorrow.
That's a huge. These are not lies. I'm heading off to Brazil to call Chiefs and Chargers on YouTube on Friday night. We're a day away. From yes, the kickoff of the National Football League season, the Cowboys and the Eagles play.
Tomorrow night. And I start the show with words that I love to say when we're fortunate enough to say it. Bill Burr's in the green room.

844-204, Rich is the number to dollar. Good to see you there, Christopher Brockman. How are you? Hey, Rich, I'm great. How are you?
I'm DJ Mikey D is in D's nuts. Good morning, Rich. TJ Jefferson, is that candle lit over there? It's getting lit. You know, he's having some BIC problems, but we got it.
I think there's some medication for that. Consult your doctor. Just consult your doctor before lighting that candle. How are you doing, Rich? I'm doing great, thank you.
Everything's good in this here neighborhood. Again, I did NFL Network last night for two hours. The NFL Game Day season preview show. Did you bring in the T-shirt cannon for us? Did not.
We had to give that back to the LA Clippers. Had no idea the Clippers would be in the news today.
So there's lots going on in the city of Los Angeles right now, and that includes obviously this three-hour program. Yes, sir.
So listen. Many of you, let me straighten out the Rich Eisen Show mug that you can get at riches and shop.com. Listen. Um some of you again may be new to this program. If so Where you been?
Okay. Uh not to be aggressive. But where have you been? We're celebrating our 11th anniversary coming up next month. Catch up.
But. Here's how it works. We talk a lot of football. And every week there is a cadence. There's a cadence.
Mondays we talk a lot of football. Tuesdays we talk A lot of football Coming off the Monday night game. Um, We talk a lot of football leading to the Thursday night football game. Friday We talk a lot of football coming off of the Thursday night game, previewing the upcoming week of college and. Professional football.
I see a pattern for it. Midweek. Because Mondays, we've got Overreaction Monday, the podcast, and also a segment on Tuesdays, Overreaction Monday on a Tuesday. On Fridays, we like to play a game called What's More Likely, where Chris Brockman puts me in a position to have to choose between two. concepts that I don't really agree with.
Or predict what's going to happen over the weekend.
So we do that on Fridays, on Wednesdays. Didn't used to do this a lot. because I frowned upon it. Frowned. Hate it.
Yeah. Because what is a power ranking? It took a while to get you convinced.
Well, I understand it a power ranking is somebody's opinion of which teams are the best in the National Football League in a certain order. Best at the top. And then You know, worst at the bottom. Yeah, it's someone's opinion. You're someone.
I get it. But why? I don't know who came up with the fact that when we're ranking them, they're perfect. Power rankings. You know what I mean?
Like from most powerful to weakest. Is that what it is?
Well, I don't know. There's nothing electric about it. Is there another word you'd rather? I don't know. Maybe I'm too literal, but I also just thought to myself, really.
Because you're just opening yourself up to nonsense criticism. And then I thought to myself, you know what? I've got to get down to Brockman's level. Thank you. It's better than the solid rankings.
The solid rankings. Not disruptable.
So every Wednesday, I rank. National Football League teams. Here we go. And I figured to kick off our first Wednesday here in the world of Disney. Here are my week.
We're calling them week one power ranking. Yeah, these are week one.
So here's the deal: I have all three. You've done three versions. Throw those out. No, but I have them and I'm seeing how they compare. But throw them out because I did a power ranking the Wednesday after the Super Bowl, February 12th.
This is really stupid. No, I loved it. Because it wasn't a season that just completed. I was previewing in the 2025 season. Way, way too early.
Still picking confetti out of, I shouldn't say out of hair, since, you know, I don't write.
So, well, speak for yourself. Very good. But you always cover your hair. I mean, I'll take it for you.
Well, you don't have to. Then you did one April 30th. Which is dumb because it's a draft. And then I did one in the middle of the summer, which is also easy. August 6th, right before preseason.
We have different definitions of what's dumb. I'd love to see that. I love these. Those mean nothing right now. Zero.0.
Nothing. And they were also done in Without knowing what free agency was coming after the service. You know Having no idea which rookies are potentially going to be any good, which we have a better idea now, somewhat higher registered. Maybe. Not knowing which generation is now.
get treated on like the proverbial kong o donkey Yeah. Here it comes. The felly off my clap. The felly's laughing off mine. My God, that was very Jackie the Joke man laughing there.
The first edition or week one edition of My Power Rank. See her smile, Rich. This is my power rankings. There aren't many like it, but this one is my power rankings.
Okay, gotta love the private pile, Drive. Oh, you're looking like Cam Newton, just like, ugh. Hit a double. And if I cycle that way, you're going to go to the drill sergeant. Mom and daddy didn't give you enough attention as a child.
That sounds like we're going to take my team off the Power Rankings. Are you loyalty? That's coming. That's 10. All right, number 10.
Bandwagon's full, I'm putting the Broncos number 10. Wow, so you've had a different number 10 all four times. Throw that away. Don't even bring it up. People don't care what I thought about the season coming off the Super Bowl.
This is now it. By the way, you had Denver 7 a week ago. This month's a rubber meeting the road. All right. This is now rubber meeting the road.
I'm not throwing it out, Chris. I'm not either. I'm going to tweet these out here. Denver Broncos are 10.
Okay. They're a top 10 team. They're a top third in the National Football League team. We had a nice chat with Sean Payton yesterday. He loves Bo Nix.
Bo Nix is barking back at him. He's barking at Bo Nicks. Tough love, tough coaching. Here we go. Ferris Bueller.
Tough defense. I like their running game. I can't wait to see what RJ Harvey's going to do. Let's go. Let's see if next to Sutton can actually be that.
Top 10 quarterback to wide receiver combination. Evan Ingram? A Rudy Zooies. Evan Ingram, yeah. Has there any been any more discussed?
Position. In the NFL, than Sean Payton's joker position without people really knowing what that means. No idea what it means. Hey, Evan Ingram's the joker in the Sean Payton offense. Oh, really?
Yeah, by the way, I'm giving everybody something to say around the water cooler. If there is one in your office, if you're working non-remotely and you go to an office and you want to sound like you know what you're talking about, you just walk up to a co-worker and go, Hey, did you hear Evan Ingram is the joker in Sean Payton's offense? And just let it slide and walk away. You're welcome. Giving people something portable to sound knowledgeable.
I'm putting the Los Angeles Chargers here. See, Najee Harris is ready to roll on Friday in Brazil. Here we go. Ready to roll. By the way, when we talked to Jim Harbaugh the other day for the pre-broadcast meeting, I tried to ask him about the.
The separation of carries between these. All he would allow is that Hampton's going to start. And if that's the case, by the way, it's the first time in Najee Harris' career in which he won't start Najee Harris for 71 games in a row. Four straight thousand-yard seasons. Correct.
So we'll see how that works. Justin Herbert doesn't throw as much anymore. Another stat I picked up in the preparation for this game that I'm calling on YouTube because I'm a lead pipe building professional. How about this one? In Justin Herbert's first 62 starts, he threw for 30 or more times in 58 of them.
Wow. In his last 17 starts, meaning last year, Just ten times he threw for thirty or more.
So they like run an egg. Let's see their defense. Derwin James loves playing in this defense. I like the chargers at nine. Number eight, I'm putting their co-tenants.
The Los Angeles Rams. Oh, interesting. Listen, um. You know who should be an honorary captain? The doctor?
The orthopedic. The epidural guy? The orthopedist or the chiropractor. The guy who drives that gentleman out there for the coin toss with the Rams captains, you have the trailer. Matthew Stafford's chiropractor.
Late fantasy team name?
Okay, we're horses out of the barn. Um They'd be much higher if Stafford was um Not pushing 40, and we're talking about epidurals. You had them at five a month ago. Stop it. Just throw that away.
I'm just number seven on the list are the Washington Commanders. I like interesting. I like everything about the Commanders. Except they're the oldest roster in the league. Usually, that does not translate to everybody playing all 17 games.
They do have a young unicorn. I love the fact that they finally signed Terry McLaurin early enough to get another nice... couple weeks of practicing. I don't know who's running the ball. You know?
Uh Bill don't call me Jakori hyphenic.
Well, he's fourth on the unofficial official depot. Who knows, man. Let's see what the commanders can do. Let's see what year two looks. They're definitely a top seven team.
Number six. I am putting the Green Bay Packers right here solely because Micah Parsons. is now there. I think the Packers are going to take that trade and it's going to look really good and they're going to start feeling themselves and. you know, the stat that you're going to hear more of.
Bart stars first, uh Packers. Championship, which was the Super Bowl when he w 1. He's 27. Do you know how old Brett Favre was when he won his Super Bowl? I'm going to guess 27.
How old was Aaron Rodgers when he won his Super Bowl? Please say 27. How old is Jordan Love? Oh, is he 27? Same age, James Jobs.
Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix were when they got. That's your Powerball in Wisconsin. That's not a good comparison, TJ. I'm sorry. Rich, even if the doctor says Micah needs a bacchiotomy, you still got them?
I got Micah Parsons there with the Packers. By the way, he looks like a spring chicken in the practice video. Oh, I couldn't bear to watch. Dream Bay, not on any of the other power rankings this offseason. Top five.
One, two, three, four, five? I think everybody's overlooking the Detroit Lions just because they lost their coordinators. Kind of important, sir.
So what? But you know what? Dan Campbell's still there. Jared Goff's still there.
Sonic and Knuckles is still there. Amon Ra the sun god is still there. Laporte is still there. Jameson Williams is still there. Aiden Hutchinson's coming back.
They had to stop practices at some point during the Summer. To tell Hutch to slow down, and then he wouldn't.
So they would let the plays continue. even though Hutchinson was there to end the play, technically, they just said, play through it. Because we need to practice. Wow. Maybe, just maybe, before Sunday, you hear Hutch has signed a new big fat deal, too.
Oh, that usually happens. You got a lot of money? I got nothing. I got something, Rick. I've got something except gut and feel and heart.
Okay. And a power rankings with the Lions fifth.
Okay. Fourth. The Buffalo Bills. Oh, bills. Uh-huh.
I think I see where this is going. They moved up a little bit. What does that mean?
Well you had them. Those were during the spring and the summer. Absurd. These are official power rankings.
Alright, rubber's meeting the road, sir. That's what I'll just say it. The Congo donkey's being plagued. I don't know what that means. Neither do I.
Donkey Kongo, Donkey Kong. It's unlike Donkey Kong. And that shot friggin' Allen. Did you hear him say? Didn't you hear him say?
He and his wife are always going to be in the honeymoon phase. Ooh. God bless this guy. Oh, he just got married. Stop it.
He has to. Stop it. He doesn't know. Stop it to be honest. Stop that way.
I think it's beautiful into one of his trophies. I think it's lovely. Yeah, exactly. Get out of here. It's a trophy chucked out.
I think they're going to the bathroom with the door open. Number three. Yeah. Number three, that's a different power ranking. Yeah.
Thank God you said that, and I wasn't coming to number two and one. See? Thank God you said that before three, which I don't think there is. Too quick. Don't answer.
Well, the Ravens are three. Ravens. The Ravens are three. I love the Ravens. They can win the Super Bowl.
We all know why. Yada, yada, yada.
Okay? Their defense, their offensive line, their quarterback. That nightmare of a running back. All of it. They can win it all.
We all know they can. It's just what happens when. It's all on the line in a do-or-die game in January. I mean, we don't know that they can. I am seeing the Chiefs in person.
I'll see if I'm right or wrong about putting them to.
Okay. Cheese, too. But I'm talking to them over the last couple of days for this YouTube game. They are locked. The F N.
They are locked. They did not like what happened. They have page turned. They are ready to roll. Ready to roll.
And I like them at number two. You really got to put Dallas at one, Rich? Hold on a minute. That's pretty fun. I can't believe you're going to.
No, the defending champs. We have an opportunity if the Eagles win only the second time in the National Football League to have back-to-back, back-to-back champs. I said it. Chiefs went back to back. Eagles can go back to back.
Last time that happened, the Dolphins and the Steelers did it in the early 70s. We have a chance. It's real and it's potentially spectacular. For sure. Except anybody who roots against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sorry, TJ.
So that's my power rankings. There are many like it, but this one is mine. In case you're wondering, it is 5 AFC. Five NFC. You split it right down the middle.
I, as a matter of fact, did. You did plan that. I was thinking, do I put the Bucs in and which team do I take out? I almost fence rode on 10 by putting Broncos Bucs, but I knew that would be a party foul. That's a TJ.
I know.
So I just, I don't know. We'll see what the Bucs can do against the Atlanta Falcons, and we'll see how this changes week to week. But that's my week one NFL power rankings. Let's go. 844-204-RICH is the number to dial.

The Rich Eisen Show Podcast. ESPN Radio rejoins us right now, and Bill Burr is here in studio released on Hulu back in March. Bill Burr dropped dead years, nominated for two Emmys, Outstanding Variety Special, and Outstanding Picture Editing for Variety Programming. Look at that. How about them apples?
Yeah, Variety Special. Me and Paul Lind. I'll take the block. I'll take you, put you in the center square. You never saw his every once in a while.
I'm a YouTube guy, so I go on that. Every once in a while, the Paul Lind Halloween special comes up. Is that right? Oh, it's amazing. Kiss closes it out.
It just was fantastic. Kissed. Nobody really did mushrooms in the 70s. You didn't need to. You just put it on the TV.
It was all just like, how is all of this happening on the same show? This is amazing. Yeah, that's an interesting algorithm you got there that's feeding you Paul Lind. What else pops up on your YouTube algorithm? All right, but you know what did pop up was I was in the green room and they said, You want some coffee?
We got a Starbucks right across the street It's just like, Yeah, everywhere you are there's a Starbucks across the street. It's right across the street. Isn't that unbelievable? Yeah. There's a McDonald's right down there.
It's terrible coffee. And I don't is that what they're trying to do over there? And plus, what's the difference? And then they stick it in the plastic cup so you get the micro plastics in your head, and you're ready to start your day. And then you go, I need some hot takes.
With your makeup-ready face, so you're out of here. It's like you guys are setting me up to fail here. Yeah. Plus i is is Venti a large too? Like w can't we just use words like large, extra large, medium?
Because they know it's garbage, so they gotta pretend they gotta pretend you're in Europe. Would you like a grandeur to cappuccino? It's like... By the way, scratch our Starbucks opportunity off the list. Yeah.
Tell our friends at Karma that we're out. You know what? It doesn't make a difference. The CEOs will still write themselves a bonus check. Look at you, man.
Look at you. I like what's going on out there. It's about damn time. There was a little pushback. Bill Burr.
Anyway, let's get into it, man. Let's get into what you. He couldn't even wait until I came out here. Go ahead and ask me. What'd you think of Bill Belichick's first game as head coach of North Carolina?
What'd you think of Joe Namath on the Rams? What'd you think of Johnny United's on the Chargers? What happened to that guy? What do you think of Lewis Hamilton driving a Ford Pinto in a. Dude, since when?
Is the University of North Carolina even in the conversation of a college football powerhouse? Not at all. Exactly. And still, not right now. Exactly.
He's driving a mid-sized car, and he's going to try to, you know, he's got some curb finders on it. Can he have more than one game? Oh, look at that. Look at that look on his face. Like, you guys, all this says to me is how much it bothered you that for 20 years, you couldn't even enjoy the greatest.
NFL head coach of all time. Yeah. Did you see him lose the first game? No, I didn't. You loved it.
No, you loved it. What did you think of it? You loved it, Rich. You loved it, Rich Eisen. I did not.
I did not. I did not. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it. You know, he played for the University of North Carolina and nobody even saw it happen. Lawrence Taylor.
He played there for four years. Nobody even, and then all of a sudden he was on the Giants. I was like, oh my God, who is this guy? Where did he come from? Oh, North Carolina.
Yeah, that's a basketball school. Yeah, Michael Jordan was. Can't you let a man enjoy his retirement? He's not retiring. Can't the man just go to North Carolina?
He dealt with New England winters for 20 years. Can't he just go down there? He's saying we're moving on to the business. Have a good time with this girlfriend. Do you want to chime in on that one?
Just because we've never won a Super Bowl and you know, maybe you're miserable in your relationship. You just gotta tack this guy 360 thing. I'm on a chance. In North Carolina, he's having a good time. He's got himself.
He's on campus. Yeah, he's on campus. He's back. He's like one of those freaky Friday movies. He's down there with Jamie Lee Curtis.
Fuck. Nothing that happens at the University of North Carolina is going to affect what happened in the NFL. You can try to make that piece something. No, and there are other shows talking about what happens in North Carolina could affect his legacy. I've got major stories here today.
You remember Emmett Smith on the Phoenix Cardinals? The Phoenix Cardinals. What happened? Terrible. I mean, I just don't think he has the passion anymore.
I think. Isn't that where he broke Walter Payton's record, though? No. He did not break all the trains. He was a coward.
He was over 16,000 yards, though. I remember when Tony Georgette went to the Denver Broncos. And I have to tell you. That's what Belichick on the sidelines of North Carolina. I know, but you're sitting there falling all over yourself together on the good side of Arch Manning.
It was only one gang. Keep your head up, American. You got a senior citizen. Who goes south to retire and you're kicking his cane out from underneath him?
Okay. You know, you played a nice guy, Rich, but I'm telling you, the more I do this shit. The more I see Richard, I don't see Rich anymore. You're down to earth. Yeah, just call me Rich.
Okay. Excuse me. I don't believe... I just asked you what do you thought of it? You're a big Patriot fan.
You're seeing what happens. That's not why you asked me, and you know that. You guys have been doing this forever. You were doing this while we were winning Super Bowls. I know that.
And I had no problem with that. Was the football a little lighter? I mean, it was pathetic. Oh, well, it was pathetic.
Now, that was ridiculous at the time, and I said it at the time, and I'm saying it again. I'm saying it now. That was one of the great false flags of all time. There was like a, what was it? How many people?
Who cares? Let's move on. Let's move on. Why don't we talk about something positive? Which is?
The bots are Red Sox.
Okay. The whole team is like this side at 25. They're fun as hell to watch. You know, we could maybe make the wild card. Maybe we don't.
We're moving in the right direction. You're definitely making the wild card. I think right now the only question is where is the series against the Yankees? Is it in Fenway Park or is it in Yankees Stadium? Yeah, that's where it is in the stand.
Unless the Yankees or the Red Sox catch the Blue Jays, which would be possible, I guess. For some reason, they're like only three and a half games, four games in front of us, but it seems like 10. It's like when I watched that Ohio State game, like their defense was so good when Texas was down 7-0. It felt like 17-0. Yeah, they are stacked.
I tell you, you know, when you got the money, you know, and you throw it around the right way. You're talking about Ohio State? I'm talking about college football now. I'm talking about that quarterback you guys got from LSU. That's what I'm talking about.
You guys, you're on my side here. I know, but I don't. No, because you can't even. You came at me with the Belichick thing. It's 95.
I got here. I didn't even drink a coffee. And then you offer me that garbage. And then you immediately come at me with Bill Belichick. And it's just like.
Yeah. I did see you in a green room, and I did say, listen, I did. Let me tell you something. When you came to go see me in New York, that was a different rich Isaac. Oh, wow.
That same guy. All of a sudden, you know, Rich needs tickets to see me do Tamin the Shrew. Oh, whatever. He's all nice. He's got on his penny loafers.
And then you get him in his own house. Oh, my God. What happened? Yeah, you saw Broadway, Rich. You know what?
That best bet ever. I've always felt that was a red flag. You know? That's that ever. Do you need to advertise it?
That's a good point. It's a gift from me. I can't just be walking in just to remind you. My dad is amazing.
Well, it's the gift they gave me, and it just keeps me. I'm going to buy you one that says best takes in all of sports media. Done. Right there. I will take it.
I will take that. And you were, by the way. That's how far into his ego is. He didn't even realize that was a joke. No, no, no.
I like that. I agree with that. You were great on Broadway, Bill. Was I? I don't like how you said that.
Oh, okay. You were great. It was awesome. And you and Glenn Garrett came on. I call you solid, so that's good.
Yeah, I hate that word, by the way.
Solid.
Solid.
Like, if I told you, hey, man, that was a solid performance. Yeah. That's not great. Yeah, it's not bad. You were great on Broadway.
It was an outstanding production. It was a wonderful night. You know what? You were solid. It was a solid night.
How was Belichick? Was Belichick solid? No, he definitely was not. Most certainly not. It was more liquid.
It's definitely more liquid. I don't know where you take me asking you that question as an attack. You barely said hello. You came in. You got the handshake out of the way and it was like right into Belichick.
I'm like, oh man, this guy's got floated for Bear today. Bill Burr here. What happened? Did one of the great Celtics from the 60s pass away today? Do you want to bring that up too?
Is everyone okay? I mean, I haven't checked that. Sam Jones. Everyone's fine. Everyone's fine.
Here's one I looked up the other day. What do you look up? The most yards passed all time in a college football career.
Okay. Case Keenum. Get out of here. University of Houston. And then went undrafted.
He did. Threw for 20,000 yards. And they said, We don't respect your division. You're 6'1. And you're playing in a spread offense.
And they didn't draft him. And he's 37. He's still playing in the league. He instantly, and he was also in the Minnesota Miracle. That's right.
Yeah, immediately. He took the Vikings to the NFC championship. I love a journeyman quarterback. You do. They always got a nice tan.
They don't have a lot of concussions. Like Steve DeBerg. Steve DeBerg, he was the magna PI. He was the magna PI of the NFL. We played like 38 seasons.
Yeah, I know. He was pristine. But the thing was, for 38, whatever season, he's been probably like 20 seasons. He was always ready to go. Right.
But of course, you know, you wound up having the greatest backup quarterback in the history of the National Football League. Tom Brady. You got him going. Out there. I always would have said it was Steve Young.
Well, I mean. Joe Montana and Steve Young are the same team. I don't think I've ever seen that. That's true. That's true, but I mean, Brady is the guy.
I know that was hard. Brady is the guy. Bro, he is the greatest backup quarterback in the history of the National Football League. To go from backup once upon a time, you're the backup. You didn't get drafted, you're not starting right off the bat.
But he was a boss? Oh, hell yeah. He's open $100 million contracts. He was more of a rookie, right?
Well, it was year two. He didn't play. He didn't play at all. Oh, all right. Yeah, man.
You could put Drew Brees on that list also. He could do that. That's not a bad. Why are you looking up who's got the most passing yards in the history of college football? Because, you know, I have depression issues and I need a distraction.
And somehow, like, sports numbers doesn't mean anything. It was second all-time college passing yards? Do you know? Or do you look that at the end? No, but I was surprised.
But if you notice, like, everybody that has the record now is really like from now because of how the game has become so offensive friendly. Dylan Gabriel is second.
Okay. Oh. The current backup quarterback in Cleveland. Right now.
Okay. Sitting in a red roof inn, being like, how many yards do I have to throw? How many yards do I have to throw?
Okay. Get a shot. 60 something thousand, not enough.
Okay, good to know. 18,722. I don't know about that.
So Archmanning can do it. See, I told you. How hard is it to say Arch and not Archie? It's terrible. I almost say Archie every day.
It's very difficult. I know.
I got to write it down to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid. Do we have this? We have a sports etiquette question for you.
Okay. Do we have a photograph of this gentleman we saw this? During over the weekend, what do you do with this guy? Oh, the whole game? Who stands right there in front of you?
The whole game. They look like there's nobody else up. Like, what what do you do about this? Bill. Because that's a full-on narcissist.
He's actually making the game about himself. He's setting himself apart from everybody else to let everybody else know that when he yells, let's go, he really means it. That happened to me at the Rose Bowl. Last time I went to the Rose Bowl, this guy was hammered out of his mind. I was just like, Dude, are you going to sit down at any point during the game?
And he just shook his head, no. And then he had some sort of like tube apparatus for like the alcohol that he had in his pocket and he like he like offered it to me. What, 'cause he was a fan? Did he recognize you? No.
He was hammered.
So you but you did say something. Yeah. Good for you.
Some people don't. I didn't say, buddy, what I didn't, I didn't come in like I asked, I just said, are you going to sit down at all during the game? Yeah. And like it was funny 'cause he was hammered so it was really like slow motor. He was just like Just shook his head.
You could have shot him over. You could have sat him down for him. No, you can't do that, dude. That's how you get a manslaughter charge. That happens all the time.
Just stay away. Dads fight other dads.
Somebody always falls back and hits their head and they die. And then that's it.
So that's where you leave him alone. You just stay sick. You sit in one of those. Those white-collared gyms, not gyms, jails.
Sorry. They look like gyms with Bernie Madoff. All because you touched somebody when they were drunk.
So, okay, you said, did the person sit down at all? Or they stood at the drugs? No, they stood up for the whole game. It became amazing after a while, like how much alcohol they were taking in, and they just never went down. I know.
What about another thing that's a pet peeve of ours is wearing a jersey. to a game. of a team that's not playing in that game. Do you have a problem with that? Bilberr.
I don't understand. I have a problem with people wearing jerseys to games. You're not playing. Yeah. Okay.
And then the more you dress up and all of that. I I and every team having like fifty-eight different jerseys. It just gets the whole thing. I just can't, you know. This is our third jersey, our fourth jersey.
This is our Father's Day jersey. This is our Support the Troops jersey. It's like, you're not supporting the troops. You're making money. That's what you're doing.
Stop acting like you're doing this stuff.
So I. I when I when I go to games out here, I dress neutral. Because LA fans are, you can get hurt out here. They're insane. They always talk about Philly.
Oh, they threw snowballs at Santa Claus. These people out here are crazy. They're crazy. You end up with brain damage if you have, like, the, I mean, that's happened.
So it's just like, all right, man, you know, like, I used to wear like my Red Sox at the Yankee Stadium, and like, I would get a ton of crap. But like, once they saw I was cool. And I wasn't being a d that's as far as it went. And we kind of went like back and forth and blah blah blah blah blah. And then eventually, if the other Yankee fan was cool, we'd be like, you know what, I always liked Jim Rice.
We would talk about players that we liked. It would go to there. It out here it it just it doesn't. It is an underrated. It starts bad, and then it gets worse, and then it spills out.
That happened to me like a Chargers game. I wore a Patriots hat. It was the Chargers versus the Cole. I think I told this on this. I was rooting for the Chargers, and all of a sudden.
You're wearing a Patriot hat. Dude, security had to come up. Get out of here. So so then you'd s but why would you wear a Patriot hat to just a a game that the Patriots are not. I was involving and that was the hat I had.
I wasn't even thinking. I wasn't thinking. And I just had it on and I was thinking then and I also I didn't understand how much the Chargers fans hated the Patriots. I didn't I didn't look at them like any sort of rival because we always beat them, like the Steelers. Like the Steelers hate us, and like we always beat them, so I don't like think anything like that.
Talk about being unaware of your surroundings. Yeah, people don't like the Patriots because they've pretty much took care of everybody. They settled every piece of family business. I know, but you guys were all babies about it. And all you did was say that we cheated and like you never even owned up to it.
And now you didn't own up to it when they were great. And now that everybody's like 90 years old, you see him zoom his wheelchair down the hill. No, I missed that. What do you think of the current Patriots season? What do you like?
You think you could? I don't think it started yet.
So I don't know how people sit there in their fantasy leagues and they watch preseason where there's like a hundred-team roster and they feel like they have any. I think the coaches know what's going on, but I, as a stand-up comedian, two kids under 10, I have no clue. I'm hearing good things, but I watched them. Way back when they had Paul Revere on their helmet, I'll always watch them. That's the good stuff, Pat.
Pat the Patriot. Yeah, when Steve Grogan and his big-ass neck would wear that thing. Oh, yeah. And even with a neck brace, he still had at least like two feet of neck exposed. I've always argued that guy is arguably the toughest guy.
Grogan? Whoever played, just how long he took those hits for, how long he would hold the ball. But you also have to, anybody who played quarterback for the Eagles during those veteran stadiums, because everybody talks about how that was just playing on concrete. On concrete, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Jaws, Ron Jaworski, all those guys back in the day, no doubt about it.
Bill Bird, dropped dead years. Congrats on the two Emmy nominations. Do we know who you're going against? In these categories? Or you don't pay for it?
I forget, but I saw everybody is great, so I wouldn't mind. You know, if I don't win it, it's all right.
Well, we are at the bottom. If I don't win it, then I don't have to show that I didn't do my homework. We are experts in saying it's an honor to be nominated.

Okay. So then you can also be completely tone deaf and not even play a musical instrument, but you can still be considered for a Grammy.
Okay. Look at this. Are you going for an egot, man? Let's go. You can do this.

four six oh three. How funny is Bill Burr? My God. My sides are.
Okay. Hurting me right now. It's like you're going to massage. Broadway rich. Oh my God.
Broadway rich. I mean, that was. That I'm a different guy on Broadway, right? Like I'm doing Taming of the Shrew. Yeah, yeah, that's what you were doing, Bill.
By the way, you know, he's the modern Shakespeare and David Mammet. Yeah. It was a very faithful rendition of Glengarry Glen Ross. When Broadway Rich was there, I'm referring to myself in the third person. Let's go to Bernardo in Santa Clarita, California.
who has some, I guess, advice for me. Uh Bernardo, what what advice do you have for me? Go blue, Rich. First of all, thank you. Right back at you.
Well, uh if I may be so bold, um I have some advice for you for when you go to Brazil, specifically to São Paulo. There is a saying that basically means that's crazy, bro. Anytime something exciting happens. And it's specific to São Paulo.
So if you were to say Or Laquamuel. It would blow everyone's minds. It would make you a legend. You wouldn't pay for a thing in Sao Paulo while you were there.
Okay, now, what am I saying? Because there is inevitably. Spell us out. On Friday night, going to be something totally crazy that happens in the game. And it would be, I think, fitting for me to say it.
So you're not giving me like something, I'm not cursing to the YouTube global. The direct translation basically means that's crazy, dude.
Okay, that's crazy, dude. Means so what? But it's the way they say dude or bro. All right, and this is not great for radio or television asking someone to spell something. But so what spell it for me?
How am I saying it? I'll sort of do it phonetically. O, like OH, O? Loco? Oh, Loco?
Mill and And it's like meo, but make it one syllable, just meo. Meo. Mayo. Oh loco main. Local male.
O locomail. And if you say that in the street, people literally are going to be like, This guy's one of us. One of us. I don't know. Yeah, I know.
I had no idea. I had no idea I wanted to be one of you, but now I do. The best thing about us, though. I'm glad to help however I can. One Michigan man, another one.
Jets fan to another.
Well, Dylan O'Brien, Dylan O'Brien's coming in in hour number three, and we'll talk about Elijah Veritaker being potentially significantly hurt. Only the Jets. Only the Jets, Bernardo. Thanks for the call, Bernardo. And Santa Clarita giving me Oloco Mayo.
A local meal. The local male male local male male dog, yeah, male male. Like one syllable, but one syllable.
So you know what I mean? Like something crazy happens. Right. Inevitably in a football game. Like Kelsey tries like a backward pass again, like he did against the Bills.
That's the Portuguese Dick Enberg oh my. Right? Portuguese Dick Enberg. Right down. That's what I'm going to say.
Alongside Kurt Warner, I'm the Portuguese Dick Enberg.
Next year you can use that equation. What do you mean? Early 2026 fantasy. Have you written it down? That's Fortune.
It's what it is, a loco mayo. Or local mail. It's a one syllable. Because I was looking up the English to Portuguese translation and it's saying iso y locora cara. But he's saying this is local.
Yeah, so I'm just making sure we're not. I'm just making sure you're not going to get caught up in the issue. You know how, again, New Yorkers and Massachusetts people have different accents. I imagine this is. I would feel more comfortable if we got one more person in Portuguese just to verify that before we say that.
We need another hollow. I want to make Bernardo Michigan man is leading me down the river. I don't want to make this ESP a grand opening, a grand closing. You know what I mean? I want to make sure you're right.
Okay. That's all I'm looking at. Bernardo under the bus. KJ. As they say in wherever, good looking out.
Thank you. My brother though. That's what I'm saying. Look at us. I want to send you down there and get you a cloud of pictures.
Because if this didn't mean what it say, I mean, a loco mayo, that would be bad. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast. Yeah.
