McCarthy. The Vikings did that to the Bears. From the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Because they had a resilient champion of a kid. I couldn't be prouder.
Earlier on the show, pro football. Hall of Fame. Hurt. Florner coming up. Comedian Frank Caliendo.
Host of the Paul Feinbaum Show, Paul Feinbaum. And now. Insurrect.
Now, number two, the Rich Eisen Show is on the air. One of the funniest people we've had on this program. Love when he comes on here. Makes me laugh. You guys frequently used to.
schedule him for my birthday. because it was something I enjoyed so much. He's back on the program. And so many of our friends who watch us on ESPN right now, Disney Plus, and listen to us on ESPN Radio, presented by Progressive Insurance, certainly know the work of Frank Caliendo, and he's about to come on out here. Paul Feinbaum of the Paul Feinbaum Show and hour number three.
Got my power rankings. About to hit that. Mm-hmm. My power rankings. I know you guys look forward to it.
Yeah, I got to find the list because you always make, you always make. Forget the summer. The summer's over. It's now week one. We hold you accountable here, Rich.
But the summer means nothing. I know, but we're just going to be able to get it. I don't know why you're bringing that nonsense. I'm daring. You just made the list.
That's coming up shortly. Let's take some phone calls to kick off our number two. We're on Sirius XM Channel 80. We're on Coast to Coast on ESPN Radio, the Disney Plus app, and also the ESPN app everywhere. Let's go to Humberto.
In Riverside, California. What's up, sir? Hey, what's up, man? Is the H silent in your first name or did I pronounce it correctly? Uh it's M mainly uh Latin, it's like Umberto.
Umberto, Umberto in Riverside, California. Good to good to hear from you. What's on your mind here, Umberto? Hey, good to hear from you too as well, Rich. And then hello to all the rest of the guys.
They appreciate people calling in and recognizing the rest of you. We're all here. Even though I did not to kick off this hour. Of course, it's it's not just Rich, it's just the other guys too as well that keep Rich entertained, you know, too as well.
So I don't know who these people are. Love everywhere. Thank you for that, you get it, man. All right. Yeah, yeah.
Also, too, as well, I mean, I have maybe I want to say two questions, but right now my main question would be also I'm a Jets fan over here in Riverside, California. And I just wanted to mention, too, as well. Do we trust fields? Um, being the franchise guy, or do we just ride it out these next two years? And then maybe you drop the die in the first round or so.
What do you mean, write it out? Joe, you talk about writing it out right now, man. I mean, listen. He looked good to me, and then Kurt Warner comes on and says, I looked at all the tape, and he's like, Yeah, he didn't do all that much. I'm still wondering what is going to happen when he's forced to stay in the pocket and have to read a defense.
And you hear that, and you go, Oh my God.
So, I don't know. You just got to take it one week at a time just to see what's going on with him. And week one in. It looked pretty damn good to me and and Maybe his presence is helping open up that run offense for Brees Hall. And let's see what happens against the Bills.
Don't forget. No, yeah, most definitely. But. My thing is my concern is What if it's just a revenge game that happened this past Sunday? I'm just more concerned about.
If he can keep it consistently, because obviously he played amazing. Let me just put it this way: Umberto, when it comes down to it. You know, you you think about the revenge game, sure. But when it comes down to it, and you're standing there, and there's your former teammate, number 90 in TJ Watt, you're not sitting there going, oh man.
Well, they released me from there and let me sign with the Jets. You're thinking, uh-oh. Who's blocking 90? Like, you don't really think about stuff like that. And thanks for the call.
Don't forget, too, with the bills coming in. Look it up. Even in the night where it was as disastrous as it could possibly get. With Aaron Rodgers carrying the flag, and then five snaps later, he's on the ground, and his season is done, and the whole hard knocks here. They won that game.
Because they sometimes can dial stuff up to stop Josh Allen. They've done it. They've beat the Bills. When they beat the Bills, they do it in Met Live.
So let's see what happens. But is he ride it out for two years? I mean, maybe in a few weeks we'll be talking about, man, you got to ride it out. But it's the beautiful thing is like it's not a two-year thing. If they don't want him after this year, it's a drop in the bucket, man, compared to some other dead cap stuff or some other.
Um Cap ramification moves that you make. Let's go to Austin in Nevada. You're here on the Rich Island Show. What's going on, Austin? Hey, Rich, how are you doing?
I learned a long time ago it's not Nevada. Don't say that. And don't say Oregon either. Bad news. It's Nevada.
It's Nevada. What's going on, Austin? I woke up feeling confident today, Rich. I got three bold predictions. Oh, okay.
Cool. Should we write them down? Yes.
Okay. Three bold predictions from Austin in Nevada. All right. First prediction: the Boulder City Eagles are going to drop 50 on needles this Friday.
Okay. Good to know that. Yes.
All right. Good to know. Second prediction: Packers, Washington, 45-17. Green Bay gets it done in dominant fashion. I know Al Michaels, the first hour, first guest of the week who doesn't want that blowout.
That's for sure. What else you got? And then third prediction, a little more tame. Matthew Golden gets his first touchdown at Lambeau Field. Yeah, Matthew Golden had only two catches, right?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, not a huge game, but productive still.
Okay, let's see. Thank you for the call. Off to Nevada. Those are. Very bold.
Was that a local h high school prediction? Because when he said the Boulder Eagles, I thought he was.
Somewhat sliding the Philadelphia Eagles a certain way. I was ready for the rest, other. But I imagine that was a yeah, giving them a shout out here on the show. I like that. 844204 rich is the number to Dow.
Every Wednesday. I come up with my power rankings. And the thing I like about these power rankings is, well, let's put it this way. The thing I love about these rankings. They're powerful.
I mean, like, literally. I'm looking at them right now, and I feel the power of these rankings. They're strong. Like, snap. I really want to know.
I got the power. Can we find out the genesis of who decided to call NFL teams to be ranked or power rankings? Who came up with it? That might be impossible. I don't know if you can.
But you know, again, I never wanted to do this. You guys insisted I do it. It was necessary, right? And I started doing it, and then I got into it. And now I know I do these things.
For you guys. I do it for you. Just us? Yeah, because you like, because you like it. What?
You're kind of into it. I mean, be honest. You think this is a bit right now? Yeah, you kind of like it. Here's what I think.
I think Rick saw you and I doing the power rankings, and we had so much. I felt jealous. And he felt left out. He wanted to jealous. We only did five.
TJ and I did the power five back in the day. I will just say this. I can confirm this. I wasn't jealous. A little bit.
A little bit. A little bit. Not at all. That's so disrespectful, Brock. A little bit.
A new audience here getting to know us. I'm jealous of you guys in other ways. I'm jealous of the fact that everyone loves you and you know everyone. I mean, you respected their power rankings. For Chris, what am I jealous of?
My hair. That's true. I mean, obviously, I think your journalism awards. That's true, Matt. I do.
Hey, Rich, you earned the National Maine Sports Writer of the Year. Yeah, 2009, Maine Press Association column. This of the year. Rich don't get that. Is that you go to golf tournaments and you're known as an actor?
And I'm like, do you not know my credits? You got some way more than me, but I'm an actor. My good, dear friend, may he rest in peace, Matthew Perry, put me in every single one of his shows. Every one of them. Other than friends.
Not friends, obviously. I didn't know him then. Yeah. At any rate. I wish my friends would do that.
Let's get to it. My power rankings for week two hit it. All right. You're right. Maybe you like it, but this one is my power rankings.
I still love the private pile drop in the middle of my power rankings, along with He-Man, right? The power of Grayskull. My week two National Football League Power Rankings. Two new teams to the list, only two teams. Like the rent and godfather to stay like before.
Get that drop ready, Mike, for when I chat when it happens. Don't need to hear it yet. Just have it ready. You should have it ready for my power rankings. Yes.
And then everything else is all over the map. New to the list, they weren't on my first list. Number 10 in the power rankings list are the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're sitting right there. Wow.
I'm putting the Steelers on the list. They're 1-0. Aaron Rodgers, those four touchdowns. It can cover up for a defense that's having trouble gelling early on. He throws four touchdowns.
All's good in the hood, man. And they got the Seahawks coming in. The Seahawks didn't look all that great on offense. Can they come in and do what the Jets did? Can't believe I'm saying that.
about Sam Darnold coming off of his 14-win season last year. Uh the Steelers are 1-0. And uh they got the kicking game, they got a serial killer there, and um I just think they're going to be better on defense. That's why I'm putting them on my list at 10th. Number nine, D.
Down seven spots. Are the Kansas City Chiefs? I'm not taking them off my top 10. They're still a top 10 team in this league. They almost won that game.
Chris Jones takes a better rush path. To Justin Herbert, and then I'm sitting there in the booth in Brazil with Kurt Warner on YouTube calling the final drive of the game for Patrick Mahomes without any timeouts remaining to see if he can put one on the Chargers again. That didn't happen because Justin Herbert did what he had to do, and the same thing with the Chargers. And you'll hear about more from them in a moment. There's still a top 10 team in this league.
I don't want to hear any more Chiefs hate. They're number nine on my list. I downgraded them seven spots. You got to give me that at least. Number eight on the list.
The Los Angeles Rams. They stayed. Hey man, just name another show where the Godfather 2 drop. The Los Angeles Rams are 1-0. Because, I mean, Puka Nakua had another monster day, even though he damn near lost his eyebrow.
He was out there bleeding like Ric Flair. Yeah, right. And so the Rams. The defense did what it had to do. And the offense is going to get there.
They're the eighth best team in my power rankings right here. 51-year-old movie reference. I don't care. I don't care. But Richard, I don't care.
I'm with you, Richard. Don't forget. It was not black and white. Blackmood has nothing to say. It's one of the greatest movies of all time.
I've seen it. I like it. This actually is.
So that's my point for you. New to the list. New to the list. New to the list. Seventh on my power rankings are your Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Oh, they're back. They're back, man. They were on the August ranking. They were nice. They should have stayed.
They should have stayed. They should have been on my week one list. Yeah, they should have been on week one. I need to see it. They went into Atlanta, man.
Atlanta, an improved team, and they won this Abuka kid. No, bro. He's already good. He's in your pole position for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Oh, sure.
Okay, we'll see. Let's see what he can do over the next 16 games. 17 weeks, but they look good. And they didn't have Tristan Wurfs either. How about that?
And they don't have Godwin yet either. What happens when they have Godwin yet? Bucky Irving was running up their hand very much.
Okay, number seven bucks. Number seven. Six. Down three spots are the Baltimore Ravens. I'm going to wager if I may.
This is the lowest the Ravens are going to be on the list. I'm actually surprised they're this low.
Well, they have to be this low because they didn't win. And everybody else on this list Um one.
So that means Dallas isn't on your top 10 list. This would be a very accurate assessment of the future.
Okay. Yes, the company's gotta pay attention. There are only two teams that lost. Last week, that are on this list. The Chiefs are one and the Ravens are the other.
They're sixth on the list just because they lost. They'd be way higher if they won. Clearly. Number five. Up four spots.
Are our neighbors from across the way? The Los Angeles Chargers are a top five team in the NFL. Yeah, they are. I saw them with my own two eyes, man. They got it.
They got it all. Done. They did not Suffer their usual issues against the Chiefs. That's true. They locked it down, they got it done.
Mahomes looked terrific. And, you know, obviously the friendly fire to knock Xavier Worthy out of the game helped. Matters, but Herbert looked like an MVP quarterback. 300 passing yards, three touchdowns. Quentin Johnston caught two.
Let's go. Um They're number five on the list. And by the way, Joe Alt. Yeah, taken over in left tackle. Monster.
Huge. What a great performance there. Number four on the list, up three spots. I'm putting the commanders here. Interesting.
I still think they're a top-five team. I know they struggled against the Giants, but. I mean, Debo Samuels showing out like that. At some point, McLaurin and Jaden Daniels are going to get on the same page. Um And the run game did its job.
The defense did its job, made the Giants look terrible. You could say the Giants did that all on their own some, but again, you've got to say. Two things. One, the Giants. The commanders had something to do with the way the giants looked.
And two, I just said the word ownsome. I don't know why. It's lonesome. Number three on the list. The bills are at one spot.
Okay. I'm putting the bills at three. Once again. The MVP of the league is the lead dog on a team that is 100% the sum of its parts. Outside of Allen, like who are you circling?
Who are you concerned about? Maybe Ed Oliver. I'm sorry. That guy is amazing. He's got a little credit for what he did.
He's amazing. He was amazing. Yeah. And Milano behind him is always one of those guys, man, that you just want on your team. Thank you for mentioning it.
Oh my gosh. And Matt Prater coming off the couch. Flying on a red eye because kickers don't get private jets, man. Which is an outrage. We got to work on that.
Uh number two on the list. I toyed with making them number one. Oh, you're not gonna do it. Bump, coward. Bump, bump.
Packers are up three. Um And I can't wait to see this game between two and four in my power rankings list. Packers hosting the commanders just one night from this airing of my. power rankings. But number one, they are the defending Super Bowl champs.
We're number one going in. I can't sit here and say, you know what, I'm downgrading because the Packers look so good. Actually, I initially did that. I showed my power rankings list to Cooper, and he goes, Really?
Okay. And I thought to myself, if Cooper sang really, you guys here would say really even louder. And listen, they are the defending Super Bowl champs, and Jalen Hurts looked like a league MVP. He looked like a league MVP and the defense. uh bowed up when it needed it most.
After the uh after the rain delay.
So the Eagles are still a little bit Top of my power rankings. New to the list are the Steelers and the Bucks. Off the list are the Lions and Broncos. Broncos are the only team that won that fell off the list. The lines are off the list as of right now.
And that's my power rankings. through one week of action heading into week two. Floor is yours now to Say what you wish. I still think Baltimore is better than Washington.
Okay, so you would swap the commanders at six and the Ravens. And I'm a little surprised. No Vikings. Oh, I mean three quarters. They look they couldn't block for the kid either.
No, I'm not going there yet. I'm not going there. Maybe Denver being off, it's a little surprised to you.
Okay. Yeah. I mean, I can only have 10. That's the beauty of these power rankings. You can only have 10.
That's good. I get the way you rank them based upon if you lost, you didn't. Yeah, I mean I'm okay with you. The only two teams that lost that are on the list still are the Ravens and the Chiefs. See, unlike you, I will hype you up like you don't didn't hype us up.
So, what do you mean? But you can't put one on and not take one off. What do you take off? Steelers? Rams?
Yeah, probably take the Rams off. You would take the Ramsay? I mean, yeah. I don't know. Yeah.
Of course not. What? Neither of you go to the game or not. Of course not. The Chargers have the 12th highest Super Bowl odds right now, and you have them on fifth.
Chris met a new friend with some southern twang who gave it. He thought he was looking for tickets. Oh, words. Just based on the odds. That was a little surprise.
And you know Del Tufo, though. No 49. I know a guy from Houston. I had to give it to him. No San Francisco, and they have the sixth Super Bowl.
I'm a former cheerleader of the Houston, Texans. Of course I do. I need not go to that game. Let's take a break. Lions still have stopped.
I've been doing voices since we got a professional guy in the movie that's going to come out of everybody. Frank Caliendo, baby. Oh, this is going to be awesome. Let's go. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast.

Because Mooch, who ever since I've done stuff on your show, I don't really do a great Steve Mariuchi, but I do. My name is Steve Mariuchi, and I'm a cultivational speaker. He makes. And all he went to the drink. Rich, I got to tell you, this is what it's going to be about.
And then he did some of this stuff that he's going all around. Mooch is like, you're right. He is. Rich, hold on a second. I know you're talking right now, but this is what we're going to do.
Listen, I'm actually doing a play inside my head, and it's going across. Did you ever see the hangover? That's what's going on in my head right now. The numbers are going from. You will text me occasionally during NFL Game Day morning asking me if he is doing the Van Vauda on the right.
I thought Bellucci at first, and you actually were, you made me realize, no, that's more Farley. More Farley. Moochi's got half Farley, but he does have Gruden in him where he will hit you in your arm when he's talking. What is with that? Because I sit to Mooch's right, and my left arm will get like a slap every three, four times during an hour.
Like he will slap you. I'll tell you what, man, that's what happens, man. You get around the wrong guy. You might get a shoulder slap. Spider two white banana.
I'll tell you what, man. So I get, I was in Rome visiting Rome. Italy. Not Jim. The incredible.
I was actually doing a post. I was regurgitating my Jim Rome. I am Rome in Rome, in Rome. My phone is in Rome. I'm in Rome Cube right now.
How great is that? Oh, my God.
So I put a little post on Instagram. Jeff Leonardo, who is John Gruden's right-hand man, sees it and he goes, Did you know? Know John is in Italy right now. Oh my god. Do I have Grudar?
How would I know? Grudar. Like there's some kind of like it's like the force. I can feel the presence. It's strong in this one, man.
So he goes, text John.
So I text John. We end up going. Going for dinner. We go out to dinner. Peep chooses the place, goes to the wrong place.
Yeah, and I'm like, I'm like, if you're five minutes early, you're already late, man. I'll tell you what. You know, I'm just going, I almost went parcel.
Okay, that's the kind of thing we got to understand here.
Okay. So.
So we end up, he's doing plays while he's, you know, you try to get him to pass something. You ever have spaghetti 2Y bruschetta, man? Try this. Take a look at this. And he's going from piece to piece.
I'm like, I tell you what, man, it's pretty good right now, man.
So I got to see him this week in Tampa.
So he tells you, let's meet up for dinner in Rome. Here's the place to meet. And then the wrong place. The Gruden point system is gone. That's out.
I don't even know why. I still don't understand what happened. But just him going, hey, you going to eat that meatball, man? Tell you what, that's a pretty good-looking meatball. Spaghetti 2Y bruschetto.
Yeah, man. I've seen the property, too, with this cup. Oh, man, I've been to Rome. Men in Rome. Tell you what, do as the Romans do, man.
You ever hear about that? They had a pretty good army there, man. Things didn't go their way. Hear about Pompeii, man. I'll tell you what.
There's not a lot of Pompeii left. There are ancient ruins, but they made bread there, man. That's where they started making bread. They had their own sewer system. I tell you what, man, if I was in ancient times, I want to be part of Rome.
All right. Pretty cutting a new year on the rich as injured. Oh my god. All right. So I thought you, and I know you...
You took notices of this too. The new David O. Russell movie about John Matt. I got a call about it. I got a call.
They asked me to audition for the part of Howard Kosell. I was like, What are you doing? Are you serious? Yes.
And I didn't even do it because I'm like, I couldn't. First of all, this is, I would be a terrible. I don't do a Howard Kosell. Sure. Like, anybody that comes to one of my shows for the last 30 years, there's always an older person who's like, do Howard Kosell.
I mean, right after my Spiro Agnew.
So it's just like, ah. Ha ha ha ha.
So they want to. For those who don't know, Spiral Actor was Richard Nixon's vice president.
So.
Nice. That was great. They want me, the agents are like, well, it's a real movie. I go, I know Nicholas Cage has been cast as. And people will tell me, they're like, you should have gotten it.
Like, I'm never getting a role over Nicholas Cage. That has never happened to you.
So you would have been maddened. That's what sucked. Fans say it, like fans of me were like, You should have been mad. I'm like, Listen, Nicholas Cage, I'm choosing him over me, right? It's like.
But then I got a call from my agent and he said Uh they want to meet with you. The director and Nicholas Cage, the director and Nicholas Cage want to meet with you over Zoom to talk about Madden. I'm like, no. He's like, what do you mean, no? I go, I want to hang out with Nicholas Cage.
If I'm going to give the recipe to the Madden voice, I want to hang out with it because I think I could have worked with it. It didn't end up happening. But I think it. But it was, because I was making demands. We are going to, we're gonna go into Vegas.
We're gonna see your exotic animals. Here's my monitor lizard. What would he say? What would John Madden say to this monitor lizard? We're gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.
Boom.
So, you really believe he would say that? Yes, yes, I do.
So, how do we work on the Madden voice? How do we find it? Where does it evolve from?
Well, you got to bring it in the back of your throat like you're speaking through a bubble, and then boom. I mean, that's how you get it. I mean, look at that picture right there, Rich. I mean, on the left, you got Al Davis. That's Christian Bale.
I mean, I mean, he went from Batman to that. And then over there, you got on the right side there, looking at it, you got Nicholas Cage. And he's kind of in Monty Python with that hair. Maybe not exact, but he looks a lot like John Madden. And I mean, I mean, I don't know if they're the Wonder Twins or what.
They got their rings out. You get a monkey name glinking and boom, wonder. With powers activated, shape of a football. of a touchdown. I tell you what, man, I love the Raiders and I love what he Caliendo just did, breaking down David O'Rourke, a tremendous film.
I can't wait. Then they asked, my agent actually said, Do you want us to try and get you a small part in it or something? Like, try and force your way in. I'm like, no, I want to be able to make fun of it. He's like, end it with a tiny part.
That's better for you. Like, I just got to be mini-madden. I still call him Mini-Madden. Throw me a freaking bone here and I'm like, Hallelujah. Yes.
I love that tag. Oh, my God.
Wow. Frank Caliendo here on The Rich Eisen Show. We have some. Please take a sip. Uh what do you have?
We have some scenarios we'd like to have you explain or situations. or rules. There's many different uh aspects of this. Different voices, if you don't mind. And the first one is Madden.
Okay, yeah. For somebody who does not know what the tush push is, can you explain it as John Madden? I mean, it sounds like a lot, it could be a lot of different things, right? I mean, but the line, you got to get the line all there. And you got to be pretty big guys.
You know, there's a quarterback sneak. You're not sneaking. They know it's coming. And then you got Jalen Hurts. I mean, it hurts everybody.
I mean, other teams. I mean, this is a play that so many people don't like. that they tried to get it. Outlawed, but they didn't know why they could outlaw it so they couldn't outlaw it because one of the Kelsey brothers. I mean, I've been around for a while, so I can't.
It's Jason Kelsey. Jason Kelsey came in and he said that it doesn't hurt anybody, but I've seen Jason Kelsey a lot of times, and I don't know if he's always telling the truth. I mean, I think he keeps a lot of secrets about Taylor Swift. I mean, that's a guy. Here you go, boom.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dennis Carlanda is Ron Madden explaining the Turch Push.
Next up, I'd like to have John Gruden give his opinion on where the next season of White Lotus should be. I'll tell you what, where was the last one? Thailand, man? Is that where it was? There's a lot of stuff going on in Thailand.
I'll tell you what, man. Really? Spider 2. Why mean something completely different in that experience? All right.
So, where is it actually going on? I haven't heard. I'm not actually sure where it is. I think it's France. Did you hear that?
This was a while back. Gruden knows so little about anything besides football. He started. This was last year. He goes, hear about this show Walking Dead, man?
You hear about this? Did he say that to you? No, he did it like he was talking about on the where was it, Patrick? It was on the internet. He could have been on Barstool or whatever.
He's appearing on a lot of shows there lately. You ever hear this Walking Dead, man? I think they're, I'm in episode number 12. I think they're going to get out of this, man. I think they're going to figure out what happened.
I think they're going to get away from the sleeve stack. That was from the land of the lost, man. I'll tell you what. They had the pylons. They could go from Marshall Will and Holly on a routine expedition.
Sit in Marshall. The only thing better than that is being in Rome. Ain't acting like you're in a row, man. That's maybe where the white lotus should be. I'll tell you what, that's a great idea, France.
You get gladiators. I'll tell you what, white lotus? That's a tremendous idea, Rich Eisen. I love the way you're thinking right now. All right.
So, next up, Morgan Freeman explaining what happened between Micah And Jerry Jones. The saga that happened, Morgan Freeman excited.
Well, sometimes an owner of a football team believes he can negotiate with anybody he wants. Doesn't have to play by the rules. The Players' Association says, well Truth of the matter is, you're supposed to talk to an agent. Jerry said, I am the league. I'll do it the way I please.
And that's when they realized Micah Parsons would be a Green Bay Packer. I have been. about it for a while. Remember when it was gotten better, that's the thing. I mean, that is.
I've been thinking about it a lot in the shower. I have been. I've been thinking, and I thought about Micah in the bathtub. Des is a shower thought. Micah.
is a Dex is a shower thought. Write that down, please. That's a great one. Maca is a tub thought.
Okay. Oh my god. Jerry. You did hear that time about Jerry talking about eating squirrel, right? You heard about that one.
Uh I d I remember it vaguely. I don't remember it specifically. Where did that come up? It just came up on his radio show or something like that. No idea.
Raccoon. That was the drop. That was the drop that we had. Play again. One of my favorites is squirrel.
I love it more than the flying squirrel. Remember Rocky and Bullwinkle? I would eat both the moose and squirrel. I was Boris Badenoff. Silly moose and squirrel.
I'm going to eat you. Right before I trade Amaka Parsons. Um I've got one more for you. Because now that we're on Disney Plus and ESPN, Uh I would like a trio. of Three, uh, it's the same concept, but three different voices.
We'll do one at a time. The Mount Rushmore of sandwiches.
Okay. Okay. As told by Chris Berman. Yeah. Yeah, we've got to think, we gotta go way, way back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
In my menu, in my head, about what the great the greatest shit, which a lot of people talk about. The club Sandrich Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Me, me, me, mate, mate, making, breaking. It just becomes nothing. Yeah.
What else is that? BLT, BLT. We're gonna go BLT. Say what you will. But nobody circles the wagons.
Like the BOT sandwich.
Okay, so that's one sandwich. All right, now there's three others to fill out. Adam Schefter. Putting a sandwich on Mount Rushmore. According to my sources, at this particular time, it appears that a hot dog has been named a sandwich.
And in this case. We are going to put the hot dog aka sandwich on the Mount Rushmore of sandwiches. And that Is the way it's going? Yeah. I like when he just winds down, like he just, Adam just ran out of energy, or he saw something else.
I saw something else on my phone. I had to throw it to the host. Everything's going to be fine. But unfortunately, I'm running out of breath, and this is like Dizzy Gillespie playing the trumpet out of the other side of his mouth, and I'm running out of everything. And now I'm Morgan.
Yeah. Okay. So it's gonna be LTM, I think, I mean, I'm gonna be a little bit more than we're watching. I don't know about hot dog, but. The third sandwich on Mount Rushmore, Stephen A.
Smith. I understand where you're coming from with some of these sandwiches, my friend. But I'd have to say, in perpetuity. I'm gonna have to go. With the corned beef on rye.
It doesn't get any better than that. I ran out of bread.
So, do you do the low version of the story? I did quiet Stephen A. Quiet Stephen A. Stephen A is the. It's the thoughtful Stephen A.
Thoughtful Stephen A. Jay Farrell does that over-the-top, like unbelievable rich. Yeah, the A, the screaming A. And I always gravitated toward that. I understand, Rich.
I know. what we're trying. And like I talked to him a while ago, and I said, It seems like you're doing more. You know, you run for president. I understand that's a That's an opportunity I might partake in.
I see where things are going on every side. I just want to listen to people and understand where we need to go with some of these things. Mr. Caliendo, do me a favor. I get it.
People need to be listened to. And I'm. You got it. And the last one. Uh sandwich because he's not.
You pontificate not what your country could do for you, but what you in perpetuity could do for your country.
So we've gotten a corned beef on ride from Stephen A. A BLT from Chris Berman. The last sandwich on Mount Rushmore by future ESPN contracted employee Charles Barkley. I'm going to go grilled cheese. It's simple, it's straight to the point.
There's no, you're not going for clicks. We're just doing this for real. A lot of people go for clicks with a sandwich. We're not doing that. We're going for real.
And I I believe that the that it's simple. It's a little bit of butter. A little bit of cheese, some bread, and one of those shots, and that's not cheating. Yeah. Oh my god.
I should have gone Mel Kuiper. Talk about Tremendous Sanders' incredible imaging girls, ham. Oh, yeah. People are talking about the different types of deli meat. What I like to do is go to the deli, start choosing different meats on my own.
I don't like a sandwich that's already prepared. I like to go something, find a low-risk, high-reward type of sandwich at the end of the day, salami, doing a tremendous job spicing up the Italian hoagie just a little bit. And you'd be hard-pressed, tell me otherwise. Frank Caliando, man. Jeez.
You are the greatest. My sides are killing me. Oh my god. All right, so you're going to you're in Tampa right now. Tampa at a club called Side Splares next week, early in the week.
17. That's going to hang out with Groot. We're going to open up some boxes, man. He will be there. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I don't know if he's coming to the show. He came to the show last time. It's very funny because people are just looking around. I'm doing Grood and he's looking around. He's like.
It's going pretty well, man. And then the next big show, the other big show I'm doing is. The Paramount Theater in Aurora. I think you mentioned that earlier. October 25th.
Yeah, October 25th, the Paramount Theater in Aurora. FrankonStage.com. Get you all those tips. Frankonstage.com. Yeah, don't even spell Calienda, which is the letter C, the word alien, and the word do.
Frank C alien do. But uh, and Minneapolis, that show's already sold out actually at Acme Comic Company. We're going to add another show pretty soon. Awesome. And something in Nevada coming up as well.
Uh, did I say that right? Nevada? Yeah, I learned that a hard way early in my career when I said Nevada, Nevada. And you said you used to say Oregon. Oregon.
All its New Yorkers would say, Hey, we're going out to Oregon. Play Oregon Trail, man. That's early in the computer world, man. You would try and survive your way to Oregon.
So before you leave. Oregon, isn't that a shape, man? Isn't that a shape? I think, no, you could fold up the Japanese artist. There you go.
I was going to say something that would get me kicked off. No, we don't want that. No, no. But one last thing, if you don't mind, we have a drop. Do you have the old drop?
Because you said this in a video with Gruden saying that the Raiders are only going 16 and 0.
So what we'd love for you to do is we can't play that drop anymore because they added a 17th game. Oh, right. Could you say 17 and 0 as Gruden? Yeah. 16 0, man.
That's what we have. 17 0, man. Thank you so much. I can't wait for this season, man. I can't.
Well, we're off and running. Actually, tell me about Taylor Swift. I barely heard anything about it. Give the plug in. Caliando, don't cut him off from the plugs.
No, no, it's all good. Frank, no, I would think, I would think, what would be the best to have explained the Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift? I'll tell you what, a lot of people didn't believe this was real love. They thought this was a staged situation. But I'll tell you what, love finds a way, man.
Just like Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, he says, life finds a way. Life is love. Two L's, alliteration, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey going to get married. I'll tell you what, I can't wait to meet their kids. Fantastic.
Here's your cow and Bern Caliando. You're the best, man. Thanks for coming on. You're right, thank you. It's a true.

How funny is that, man? Ah geez. Oh my god. Fast mind. I could listen to Frank do his thing all day.
We've had him, Burt Kreischer, and Bill Burr in the last three years. you know, three of the last show isn't just I love to laugh. Hopefully, you do too. Obviously, we all do. Speaking of team not laughing very much, James in West Virginia has called into the program.
What's up, James? Oh, not much, man. I uh I did have a question, but I also wanted to Say thank you to you and your whole crew for putting your show out there, man. Thank you. Because about a year ago, I got injured at work.
I tore my ACL, MCL, and PCO.
So sorry to hear that.
Sorry, dude. Yeah. I was out for about seven months. And I got depressed and stuff 'cause we lost our house and everything. I lost my job because of the incident.
And I listen to you guys every day. You made me laugh. You brought my spirits up.
So I just want to say thank you guys.
Well, thank you for saying that. We hope things are better now that you've called into the show since. uh what what had happened before and That's part of the reason what we do here every day. We understand that there's a lot of real-world stuff going on that's freaking people out, and some real-world stuff, obviously, in your world.
So, if we can be here for you. We are pleased to do that. What was your question that you had in your mind?
So do you think the Dolphins should be in panic mode? I mean, Monday was like a kick in the balls, you know what I mean? I mean, it should be a wake-up call at least. They're not that bad. They have talent.
but they don't have a secondary or an offensive line. They can't stop anybody. Sunday, you know, if you had to, you know, I had my POW rankings, right, one through 32. 1 through 10, if you went all the way down to 32, I would consider putting the Dolphins at 32nd based on their performance.
Now, that's just one week. Mike McDaniel, who's a friend of ours on this program. Basically, when he was asked is there anything positive, and he the positive thing he said that we got embarrassed. that maybe that will shake. um a locker room or shake The um the insides of his team.
Now that's not the way you want to do that, but So You know, thanks for the call, James. And hang in there. Please call back more often. Let's be there for you if you want to hear a voice actually like. person to person.
This was McDaniel today when talking about Tua, who had multiple interceptions, as we know. think I saw a you know quarterback play that was less than to be desired. which Tua um absolutely knows. But that was He he's the captain of the franchise quarterback. And everybody kind of fell victim to something similar.
I also know that he's. Very very much um like a lo most quarterbacks, to be honest, where you're putting a lot of work into something and your first time doing it for a collective four quarters in months. Uh you're not at your best. My biggest thing is, I don't want to make the same mistakes twice. I don't want to have things happen uh for no reason or in vain.
You make them purposeful by by Improving upon the things that you failed at, and then making sure that your teammates do the same. He's comfortable without it. comfortable with that. In the middle of It you know, we we need to be better collectively. Um, he and everybody else needs to be better for us to get done what we want to get done.
And I understand Dolphin fans, you know, Mike. Mike's style of speaking. Um you know, where He took 60 seconds to say. Guy stunk, he can't do that anymore. We got to be better.
But that's just the way he talks. That's his style of speaking. He's a very. Um you know, cerebral guy. And Spiritual.
as well. And I know when you don't win, that comes across as unserious. And it comes across as Just do it, man. I don't want to hear it in anyone. That's what happens when you lose 33 to 8, which is a problem.
because he does have the abilities. to coach and lead and figure stuff out.
So are they in panic mode? The Ridge Eisen Show Podcast. Mm-hmm.
