Jay Hancock on a piece of paper. Earlier on the show. ESPN college football analyst Josh Pate. Coming up. Actor Rob Lowe, senior writer for the MMQB, Albert Breer.

And now, it's Rich Eisen. Pravlo's in our green room, everybody. I'm just going to lead with the headline for hour number two. I saw it. It's always a delight having him here, man.

It really is. We can go in any pop culture direction with him, and he's here on behalf of OnLocation, the global leader in premium experiences, hospitality, and travel. for uh the the world's biggest sporting events. The Super Bowl is included in that. That's just in.

That's not the headline. I think everybody knew that.

So, Rob's going to the Super Bowl. With our location. And I guess he wants to talk about how you can do so as well. Self-defense. I mean, we'll be there.

We will be.

Well, technically, we will be. You won't be at the Super Bowl unless the Patriots make it. And then I think Michael Ert, by the way, if the Patriots make the Super Bowl, I may need to make up the same. Meme as Michael Irvin.

Well, for your family members. Did you send me a text? No, no, by the way. Did you text him? I did, and he responded.

I don't know if we have that. Did I send that to you yet? That's probably right there. No, no, that was the tweet. I'm just saying that was probably what he sent you back.

No, he sent you something. These crying emoji. We were looking for tickets on plus three. And then I got three crying emojis. I don't know if it was.

That means we're in. Yeah. Oh, that means. That means one of us is in. Oh, because that means I'm out.

Sorry, Felly. No, I'm plus three. And that's yes, you got it. Those are the three.

Okay. Very embalded. Let's go. I did say to him that I had Josh Paid on in hour number one, and he's concerned about the number of credentials for Miami Greats. That is yet to receive a response.

Okay. Oh, I'm good. Yeah. I'm good, Rich. Rich is going to, you know, Mike's on being.

What is the hierarchy? Is Irv one? Oee. Because he predates Ray, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Right. I think he predates Ray. He definitely predates that read. Yeah.

Well, he's yeah, I mean, he goes way back. He's got the Jimmy, but I'm sure there's some Howard Schnellenberger people around there saying, wait a minute, we're in front of you.

So some of the top ten Miami hurricanes, Chuck Foreman. Running back from the Vikings. Like if Jim Kelly won. Jim Kelly's from the Howard Schnellenberger era. I mean, Gino, I mean Toretta?

Want a Heisman? I love that. Every single time I see him on the Heisman House commercials, I text Marshall Falk saying, Where are you? No, I don't. But I did come up with that idea with Marshall about having a Heisman runner-up house.

Yeah, that's pretty funny. Right? That's 'cause that would Arguably be more talented than the Heisman House. Oh, that's a bold statement, Richard. You look at the Heisman Runner Outhouse.

I'm going to go back to 1990. Take a look at the Heisman Runner Outhouse.

Okay, okay. And now, and I understand the Heisman's a college award in the same way that the MVP is the regular season award, and it doesn't matter what they've done after college. But if you include after college, I think the Heisman runner-up house. It's close. 90 runner-up was Rocket Ismail.

Okay. 91, Casey Weldon, not as good. 92 is Marshall. 93 Heath Schuller. 94, Kajana Carter.

95, Tommy Frazier. Steve McNair was third in 94, too. Troy Davis. I think you could say runners-up house. Peyton Manning was second.

Because when you look at some of the third-place guys, you got Jim Harbaugh in 86. You got the Heisman Runners-Uphouse. Major Harris. Michael Vick was third. And Drew Brees was fourth.

I'm just saying. Which one throws a better party? Good question. Ryan Leaf was third. Depends on what year.

Jabris. Danielian Tomlinson was fourth. Manning Eli. Matt Miner. We digress.

So let's go to David in Ohio. Phone call from David in Ohio here on the Rich Island Show. What's up, David? What's up, Dave? David, you there?

I'm just like Oh my word. He's on hold and not knowing. I tried, man. Everybody, when you're calling in, you know, head on a swivel. Turn your radio down.

Radio down. TV down. Television down. Let's give David in Ohio one more shot. You there, David?

Yes, I am. What's up, David? Hey, Rich. I got a. Tomat for you on the Mike Tomlin situation.

I'm really sad that he's uh gone. And uh You know, he brought a Super Bowl to us, but I uh Really think Ben Rothesberger might be a good head coach next year? Oh, David in Ohio. Whoa. You want higher register.

You really think Ben Rothelsberger would be the good. Replacement. For Mike Tom, David? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think he would be great.

Well, speaking on behalf of everyone thank you for the call, David, and everyone in the media, that would be wild. That would set records in terms of hot takes. That would set records in terms of the Rooney's zagging. as opposed to doing their usual once every generation zig. Looking for a head coach.

It would be great media availability. The Ben Roplitzberger Coaches Show would be must-listen and see. Can you imagine? Yeah. That would be great.

Throw deep. What are we going to do? Here's the offensive play. All right. We're just going to.

Fade back. Then let the quarterback be hit. Then run around forever and make a Hall of Fame play.

Somebody get open. And on occasion, we'll throw for 500 yards. That's what we'll do in a game. Real deep, baby. That's it.

Very good. DK McCavins run around. I'll get it to you. How about that one right there? That was, didn't expect that one from Dave.

I'm glad I got Dave in Ohio another shot right there. Oh high register.

So, you know, now that John Harbaugh is about to be named the next head coach of the New York Giants, I do have a couple of friends who are like, why didn't we wait for Mike Tomlin? I'm like, I just don't know if Tomlin's going to be coaching this year. We talked about it with Jerry Dulak. We heard from Art Rooney the second yesterday that Tomlin's given an indication that he's not planning on coaching this year. You have to figure.

What is he going to do this year if he doesn't? If he does have a place in the public eye, In the football NFL media, it would be interesting since he's the king of I'm blocking out the outside noise. The outside noise means nothing. to us in this building, that he would then leave coaching To be part of the outside noise. It would be an interesting twist, plot twist, an old Henry-like plot twist.

He'd be great at it. If all of the drops that we have of him talking about not knowing what's in the hot dog, and if his aunt had male parts, she'd be my uncle, all that sort of stuff. From him. His response to: Are you interested in the USC head coaching job because they're interested in you? And his response was, but never.

That one, he'd be great at it. I I think he'd be great if he could um master the art of getting in and out. Uh of um A broadcast. In between plays. He'd be an incredible live game analyst to say, this is what we did, that's what we did.

back in the day, this is what I think this team should do. That's not a penalty. I remember when I was on the competition committee, he'd be incredible. at being a game analyst. If he gets down the cadence of Speaking concisely, I think he could get that.

'Cause he's a wordsmith. I think he'd be better as a studio guy. I don't know, man. I think he'd be great in the middle of a game, and Brady's become exactly that right now. And his passion would come through.

Uh the broadcast. Um And then he could lord over... the coaching hiring process. Every single team would be like, what about Tomlin. Because next year he'd be 54.

Mm-hmm. I mean, that is a great age for a coach. You've been there, you've done that, you could still be there and do that. Unreal. Opportunity for Mike Tommy about choosing where he wants to coach.

And That is what happened with Bill Cower. when he left the Steelers. And he went to CBS, and every single year there was a coaching opening. It would be like, is cowra interested? And he would keep saying no.

And he's still sitting on the CBS set since 2007, by the way. Crazy. And he never went back to coaching. And That may happen for Mike Tomlin, too. Which would stun me?

Somebody who No is Mike Tomlin. Ronde Barber. And he knows Mike Tomlin. Because he was in the secondary, that Tomlin was. coaching up in Tampa Bay back in the day.

Ronde Barber when you're a um Pro Football Hall of Fame and Ductee, you get to choose. Who puts the jacket on you? In the jacket ceremony. Night before, you get your bust, you make your speech, you get your jacket at a special ceremony in downtown Canton. It's great.

And now, What they've asked you to do at the Pro Football Hall of Fame is choose any current Hall of Famer to put the jacket on you. When Barber went in, they were still saying, you choose whoever you want. He chose Mike Tomlin to put the jacket on him. As a matter of fact, I saw Tomlin at that Um after that ceremony And he was cracking a beer open with Bill Cower and I Very rarely do I ever want to s just snap a picture of a moment. Um But I really wanted to.

And just show that to all my Steeler friends: like, hey, this is happening right now. Not post it. Could you imagine? But anyway, long story short. I say this to set up that Ronde What you're about to hear from him, if anybody would know.

He'd be at the top of the list. He thinks Tomlin might be done coaching, period. Hit it. Mike's a friend, man. He's like family to me.

We vacation every year, and there's a lot of stories out there about Mike coming up and wanting to. Take one year off and go coach. I'm going to tell you right now, dude, I think he's done. Uh I think he wants to be done. Um Last year I was in Long island with them.

And he told me then, he said, I think this is my last year. And didn't say anything to anybody else for the entire year. Mm. Wow. On The Ronde Barber Show.

Hmm.

So believe it. That's no joke. Could you You imagine if Mike Talmud is done, done, like done, done. Thou wouldst stun me too. He just strikes me as a guy who loves to do this.

He loves the challenge, is what he says. And I do believe. What he says, I don't think that's an act by any stretch of the imagination. But for him to be sitting, you know. What are we talking about?

The Hamptons, what we're talking about, Long Island? Probably. Probably. Probably. If you're summer vacationing in Long Island?

Mm-hmm. Not bad. Um That he's like, I think this is my last year. Then he's definitely thinking about stuff that he doesn't share with a lot of people. Certainly not on his sleeve, certainly not in.

Press availabilities. But um You're not hearing his name for any of these cycles. Yeah, I I I kept saying Um Throughout this process, that the Giants have a job opening, and the family that the Giants sit next to at the owners' meeting every year are the Roonies. They are tight. And if there's anybody that could call him up and say, what about Mike?

It would be them. And They just continued on with John Harbaugh. Who they think might be a better fit, I don't know. Mm-hmm. Throwing it all out there.

If he never coaches again, is Mike Tomlin a Hall of Famer? I think so, yeah. I think so. I mean the same issues that um Cowher had getting the Steelers to the winner's podium. He won once.

Let me see how many coaching wins, because that does stuff does matter here. I have the list open right here. Mike Tomlin is 10th on the all-time coaching list with 193 regular season wins, the same number as Chuck Noll. I mean, yeah, he's definitely getting it. Bill Cower had 149.

Career wins. Mike Tomlinson 193. Win percentage? Which is better than Chuck Knoll's, better than Schottenharmer's. Um just right behind Curly Lambeau.

Better than Tom Landry's. Um 628. Also, better than John Harbaughs. Better than Sean McVeigh, Harbaugh. Very, well.

I mean, yeah. I don't know if just the one ring came in its second season, and then now I hear it all. Like, it was, you know, he had Dick LeBeau as his defensive coordinator. He had Bill Cower's team, and all that's. Whatever, man.

Ben Rothlessberger, let me just put it this way: Ben Rothlesberger was a young game manager that when Tomlin came in. It was a totally different ball of wax. For him. It was just like, hey, kid, I know you were just a kid with Bill, but you're the guy here. I mean, I could go on and on and on and on.

Okay. Would be accused of caping for him again, but. I I think so for sure. For sure. He's tenth on the all-time coaching list.

Sean Payton is going to pass him because it doesn't look like he's going anywhere. Sean's got 184. Harbaugh's got 180. In terms of active guys. Al in Dallas, you're here on the Rich Isaac Show.

What's up, Al? You ecstatic or what, buddy? That's uh you there, Al? Yeah, there is joy in East Rutherford. Right?

I mean, it's it's I I am ecstatic. Ecstatic. Finally it happened for us. Wow. I'm pretty shocked.

You sounded. You need to take a seat? You need a drink out? I mean, I'm shocked. I'm shocked.

You know, my biggest concern right now is: you know, the Super Bowl in 2027 is right down the road from your office.

So I'm wondering whose couch I'm crashing on. Oh, wow.

Now you sound like Brockman. I got you out. Yeah. Yeah, well Brockman had l listen, Brockman said eleven and ele eleven and six. Let's go, Al.

Let's go. Come on, baby. Let's go. Hey, Brockman, you got room? I can sit there and I can cuddle with the dog.

Always. Oh, my God. Feller offered up the couch. I got you, Al. Unless the giant TJ.

Yeah, I know my man TJ. I know I can chill with him. I mean, you know, we'll just. Right. Yeah, what's your couch, Jay?

Yeah, clearly. Yeah, unless Al, unless it's going against the Patriots and Wandale Robinson is getting ready to pin a football on his helmet to try and beat New England. Easy. Al. Yeah, but listen, this never happens to us.

Like in a I mean this this is This is The gr this is a monumental signing to the likes of when George Young took over the organization. Like this is how big this is. This is huge. Because it started the trajectory of the Bill Parcells and started this whole thing. I mean, this is, I mean, we have been just flopping around since Tom Copland.

And now we have an adult in the room. And now I can stop talking about them, Rich. You know, there's so many things going on in sports that all I do is call you guys about the Giants. I'm sick and tired of talking about the Giants. Right?

Yeah, the Giants had five different full-time head coaches during Harbaugh's 18-season. Tenure. Yeah, I mean, if this is an adult, this guy commands respect. He's going to bring in a real staff. This team had talent.

I mean, they were in a lot of games. This team had talent. So You need an adult. He's going to bring in real coaches, real guys that he can work with. The organization will be in lockstep.

And then, you know, when things don't go well for the Jets, they get with Allen Clayman and get the first pick of middle. Ladies and gentlemen, a high register from Al in Dallas. Good to speak with you, Al. Yeah, Harbaugh won ten or more games eleven times as the Ravens head coach. And the Giants have had ten or more wins three times since Harbaugh was hired by Baltimore in 2008.

Okay. Last time they had double-digit wins was 11 in 2016. That was the famed boat trip year. Right, Christopher? 2016?

Yeah, buddy. 2017.

Well, I mean, that was the calendar year 2017.

So, yeah, that's why Giants fans are all excited. And I'm sure, again, Ravens fans hearing Giants fans saying, we could have won all those games that we were leading in. This year, if we had John Harbaugh on the sidelines of a talented team, Ravens fans are hearing that saying that's why he's your coach now. That's a very good point. And it's It's a a sm uh but I think it's a it's a small Um bug in the Harbaugh system.

Again, the Giants Desperately needs somebody to come in here and say, I've got it. And you know I've got it because I've had it somewhere else. And I know how to handle the media. You're not going to get a call saying, you hear what John had to say. He's going to love up his quarterback because that's what Harbaughs do.

It's going to be fine. and potentially better than such. We take a break. Rob Lowe is here. He's coming out of the green room.

Well, I've got a lot to live up to. I've got a lot to live up to. Because you are representing, in a way, the Super Bowl and experience of the Super Bowl. What am I going to do?

So it would be fitting. What if you did show up? With a hat on and the NFL shield on it. You know what? Every time I get to spend any time with the commissioner, and I, and Roger's, he's a great guy, and obviously, best commissioner ever for any league ever.

Um, he's like, man, that hat. We sell more of that hat now. Is that right? Does he say that to you? Yes, he does.

Do you ask for a piece? He said, If there's ever anything I can do, I said, Well, yeah, I wouldn't mind being part of an ownership group. Yes. Come on, let's go. He's like, And look at the time.

Yeah, he's like, and I'll be out of here.

So, what was the story behind that hat? Yeah. By the way, every time we see it, we just showed it. Your awesome son is sitting right to your left.

So we give some. I know Matthew Lowe sitting right next to me. Yes, indeed. The hat was, they gave me a choice of hats to wear. I was at the game so they could, it was a Fox game.

Yes, sir. I had a show premiering on Fox.

So they were like, Would you go for promotion? We'll cut to you in the audience. I'm like You had me at just go to the game. Sure. I love sports.

And so they're like, here's a hat. And they were all like these loud, half one team on one side and half the other team on the other, and like super busy. And like, those special game hats were just bad. Yeah, yeah. And then there's this one.

Simple. NFL hat, which I'd never seen before. I'd never seen that hat before. I'd never seen that hat before. Usually, I don't normally, normally, when you see something like that, it's a white.

A ref. Right, and it's white. And it's white. And I'm like, oh, that looks like a. I'm definitely going to wear that simple thing.

Damn straight. And people, it's become a meme of someone who is agnostic to everything. Yeah. That's really what it is. If you're agnostic to everything, if you're just like, hey, go teams.

Go teams. What game was that, by the way? Do you remember? Yeah, it was at Levi Stadium. It was.

Oh, so where are you going to be for Super Bowl? This is where it happened.

So this is a full circle moment, potentially. This is full circle. This was, what, five years ago? San Francisco Green Bay. Green Bay.

NFC Championship. NFC Championship. Oh, so it wasn't a big audience that sat around and saw the whole damn thing. Yeah, can you imagine? Dude.

Literally, my phone started blowing up. Like you could not blow. I was like, oh, they, I was like, oh, they, they just put me on the air, obviously. And then it kept going and going and going. Oh, something's up.

Well, little did I know, like, how many years later was talking about the day I'm having it, by the way. You still do? Of course. Oh, gosh. My archives.

Okay. Can we have it here for the studio? No, no, I'm not a Smithsonian. That's what this is. This is kind of like a school.

We're a Smith. What's your best packies of memorabilia? Most valuable. We can go, well, most valuable. I mean, we've got a Joe Namath autographs 1969 Jets helmet.

Oh, Chris, you've got a Jim Brown Syracuse helmet right in front of you. Yeah. Okay, here's what I'll do. We have a ball with Dwight Clark, Franco Harris, Terry Brown, and Joe Montana. Yeah, so the catch and the Immaculate Reception all on one ball.

And that's valuable. That might be the most actually the most unique one is: we have behind Chris two Rose Bowl seats there, and any guest that we've ever had in studio who's played in the Rose Bowl or called one. signs those seats. Wow. We have all that.

But and the Roblox is a very good question. SHIEELD HAT AUGRAPHED BY ROB LOWE. It's up there.

Okay. Here's what I'm willing to consider.

Okay. Okay. I'm willing to consider. But you know how people have really valuable art and they're like, oh, it's at the Guggenheim for the next year. Yes, sir.

Oh, it's on loan? You want to put it on loan? Sure. Why, you want to wear it again? You want to wear it again?

Yeah, I'm not giving that up. I mean, it's like, oh, I don't have much, man. It's like, I've got that hat and I've got the saxophone from St. Almonds Fire. It's all I have.

Do you really? I do. You have the saxophone from St. Almonds Fire. I do.

Where is it? It's in my office. It's next to my e-channel Golden Hanger award for best outfit that John Rivers gave me. That's all I've got. Really?

When was the last time you've actually played that saxophone? I never played it. You never played it. It's all fake. Movie Magic.

Wow. I can fake play a saxon. You know the story where I fake played the saxone for Bill Clinton and then he wrote me a letter inviting me to come to the White House. I don't know this story. I would like to hear it.

You've got the greatest stories, Rob Lowe.

Well, this one, in fairness, is in my first book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends. Yes. You can get it now on Kindle or wherever the hell you get books anymore. It was a. A political fundraiser back in the day, and my friend David Foster, who wrote St.

Almost Fire song, was like, Hey, you want to come up and do that thing we sometimes do? Or you kind of and I did it. There's a real saxophone player behind a curtain. Mm-hmm. And I'm up there.

No. Yeah. By blowing like no other. But there's no sound coming out of it. Right.

Quincy Jones is in the front row. Uh-oh. And Quincy Jones is like. You blow, Rob Lowe! And Clinton, and Clinton is in the back doing the Wayne's World, I'm not worthy.

And I'm like, oh, sh ⁇ . They really believe that this is happening. And then my actor's ego got involved. Yeah, yeah. Because I was going to do that old joke where somebody's on a player piano, acting like they're playing, and then they take a sip of water, and everybody knows it's a game.

I was going to do a version of that. Sure. But then my ego got involved. I was like, I they think I'm murdering. I'm not gonna I'm gonna pretend like I murdered.

And I just went back to my seat. My wife, Cheryl, who you know is like, you d. And then I got a nice little letter from Clinton saying, come to the White House and play saxophone. Oh no. That was my reaction.

My reaction wasn't great. Mine was, oh no. Yeah. So I called David Foster, who was in the. By the way.

I called David Foster. I'll never forget it. He was recording Barbara Streisand. And he says, You have nothing to worry about. I told Barbara the story, and Streisand called Clinton.

And So, people always ask, when did you first know you were a success? And I knew. When I got into a shame spiral. Involving David Foster, Barbara Streisand, Bill Clinton. I knew I'd make it.

And Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones.

So there's a point in time as you are. Performing this, because this is performance, where you're thinking. All right, I've got to give up the ghost or. Commit. Fully commit.

It was. And just own it. It was. And not admit it and roll with it and accept the accolades I have no business accepting. There was that moment, split moment in it.

Stolen valor. Stolen saxophone.

Well, you know what? Here's the thing: great fantasy football team. Let me tell you: if Quincy Jones, who is sitting Two feet from what they call the bell. It's the bell of the horn. Yes.

Doesn't know there's no sound coming out of it. That's not my problem. Oh my god. Not on you. That one time where Count Basie was fake playing the piano, right?

And Quincy had no idea. Exactly. You know, you were just doing what Count Basie did back in the day. You think Campbell Basie was really playing on Blazing Saddles? In the desert?

Absolutely not, right? He wasn't. I'll never forget that. That's right. That did happen in Blazing Saddles.

Count Basie's orchestra played in Blazing Saddles. Do you think they were playing to attract people? Oh, my God. Gosh. Accuse you of your.

On location, Rob.

So, what should people do if they want to go to the Super Bowl like you're going to? Or the Final Four.

Okay. Or a FIFA World Cup. Money is on there. Yeah. Almost any cool sporting event.

You just go to the website, and there's a bunch of different packages. Onlocationexp.com. And I will see you there. All right. So do you know where you're sitting?

Do we have tickets yet? Do we know, or you just know you're going? The 50.

Okay. Well, also, by the way, that stadium. You got to be careful.

Well, that's why I was there for the Peyton Manning Super Bowl when Cam Newton decided he was above going for the ball on the ground. Get you, Super Bowl 50. I remember that. I'll never forget Cam Newton looking at that ball spinning on the ground and going, Yeah, I'm not getting down picking that up. That happened.

Well, Von Miller was in the vicinity, sir. I understand. That'll make you make a business. He did a big game. He sure did.

And so I think you're referring to there's a sun side of the field. There's a side that is like an Aurora Borealis. It's like the seventh ring of hell. I was sitting on that.

So hot. I was sitting on that side, okay, of the Super Bowl, and I don't have the flowing mane that you have. I would have taken any NFL shield baseball cap I could possibly find and wear it. 100%.

So the hat is even more important. Yes. This is it. These are the experiences. That I'm looking for.

But again, On loan, I just want the hat on loan. We got to talk placement. Where do you want it? I mean, we could. What gets the most airtime?

Well, anything in front of those two gents right there gets the most airtime. We could place it there. It's going to go in front of one of you guys. How about this one? You could see, put up that screen one more time.

All the way on the right. Uh that is a brick phone. Uh one of those old school eighties brick phones. Yep. Prior to cell phones, autographed by both Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen.

No way. Yes, sir. That's really.

Now that's a one-of-one as well, right?

Okay. What if we put your NFL hat right there? That is, I think, of equal cultural significance. Correct. Since you and Charlie Sheen go back like the old proverbial car seat, right?

100%.

Okay. That's a good.

Okay, great. We're doing it. You must have a microphone. Sean sitting over there. Sean, we're going to get this going.

Sean, you have nodding in approval, right? I mean.

Okay, so that's there we go. And then we'll place it right there. Do you want to if you autograph it. Then you won't be able to wear it. But if I autograph it on the inside, you can say it's autographed.

No one will be the wiser. You don't want to ruin the aesthetic. You don't.

Well, you're so simple. I imagine you've never worn anything of yours that you've already autographed. Like, that's never happened in your life. That has not happened yet.

Okay, so that's what I'm saying.

Okay. And you must have a Michael Douglas story, right? You must have come across him at some point.

So, I do a podcast called Literally. If you guys haven't ever, please, it's really fun. And I have everybody on it. I'm doing Chris Pratt later today. Fantastic.

Michael Douglas was one of my favorite guests I had on the podcast. We talked. Forever. I bet. We've never worked together.

Oh, no, wait a minute. What am I talking about? We did behind the candle opera together. Of course, you did. That's right, you did.

That's right. Yeah. Just one of my pull that. Photo up. Yeah.

You and me and behind the candelabra. That's right. You, you, and Michael Douglas, and Libarachi and Matt Damon. You play the plastic surgeon with a terrible facelift. That's one of my favorite things I ever got to do.

So, you have Michael Douglas stories for days, I'm sure. For days. He's one of my icons. He's done everything.

So, that would be a fitting spot for the location. And listen, and I was on location of Wall Street. Yes. Because I was shooting a movie called Masquerade down the block all the time. No kidding.

And. That was a real time in life. None of us were particularly sober. Nobody. Nobody.

Oliver Stone. Yes. Mickey, Mickey Dugras, and Charlie. Yeah. And me.

And you. And New York in 1980. Oh, boy. See, this is exactly why we need the hat and we need it right next to that brick phone. It'll be constantly shown.

That'll be a new online. Wait for it. A new on location for the hat, ladies and gentlemen. On location, exp.com, Super Bowl.

So, who are you going to the game with? Yeah. Who do I want? Sure. I want the Rams.

Okay. And. Agnostic like the hat. Exactly. Yeah.

But you're Rams fans, you will take the Rams in the home of the San Francisco 49ers. That would be particularly provocative. That might be more provocative than we're in. I think the 49ers have been overachieving for this whole I think the magic's going to run out. You know who thinks that same way, too, is your guest later on today, Chris Pratt.

He's a die-hard Seahawks fan. Poor Pratt. And they're the ones who could potentially end that 49ers campaign to play in their home stadium for Super Bowl 60. It could be interesting. I'm excited about the Bears.

Yeah, they're playing pretty well too. Is that from your About Last Night days? Years ago in Bears Frank. When I did About Last Night, we shot the end of the movie. The very first day.

It's where it's good. It's really good. I love that movie. It is awesome. And the end is so.

Like, oh, it is. And we shot that scene. lost the the light and I walked from Grant Park to Soldier Field. It was a Monday night football game, Green Bay Bears, And it was the refrigerator's first touchdown. Are you serious?

First time you lined up. A guy that size came up and lined up. And people lost their minds. Remember how big the refrigerator was? William the Refrigerator Perry, just constantly getting the football became a pop culture iconic moment.

Moment. He actually scored an in Super Bowl 20, much to the dismay of everybody who thinks that obviously Walter Payton should have gotten that gimme bunny touchdown. But so you're saying you shot. The end scene of About Last Night, which was actually the first scene shot of the film. That's right.

Walked. And walked from Grant Park to Soldier Field. Yeah, for that game. That's a good memory. That's a really good memory.

That is. Monday, October 21st, 1985. There you have it. Yep. No kidding.

And pretty cool.

So the Bears being in the Super Bowl would be of interest, obviously. Yeah, I have a great affinity for them. And I love their fourth quarter comebacks. Did Demi Moore go with you to this game? Who else went with you into this game?

No, it was just dudes from the crew. That's it. Yeah, guy. I think our camera operator had home seats.

Okay. Yeah, David Mammet didn't go, none of that? No, none of it was. Although Belushi was a big Walter Payton fan. I bet.

We actually do a bit where we do Walter Payton in the refrigerator in the middle of the movie, where we screw around going through a crowd. I use him as a blocker. What a time, man. These are good times. These are good times.

Again, on location, exp.com to go to any big-time event in the manner in which you should. How does that sound? VIP all the way. VIP all the way. Online.

Come on. And I finally asked something of you other than just of your time to come and hang out here. That hat. We just got to get that. Listen, we've been buddies for a long time.

We have. I entrust you with all of it. I will do that. I will treat it with the respect it deserves, with the agnostic respect that hat deserves. Plus, you know, I mean, every single time my kids say something, I.

You know, I say point to the ceiling. I'm like, the NFL put that over your head.

So, you know what I mean?

So, the shield, obviously, the other thing Bidel told me is it's the most shared meme in most shared NFL meme in history. Roger told you that. He says it's in there. What is it? When you go for investments and you go and talk to people.

Oh, it's in their PowerPoint? It's in their PowerPoint. Rob Lowe wearing a shield hat. By the way, I had no idea the NFL has PowerPoints. I thought their PowerPoint is like they're the NFL.

You should come to, I guess. We're the NFL. That's their PowerPoint, is like, we're the NFL. Yeah, I think that is the PowerPoint. We'll have no presentation here today.

We're the NFL. We're the NFL. And in case you're wondering, here's Rob Lowe with our hat. Closed. Deal closed.

And scenes. And scene. And scenes. Deal closed. International licensing closed.

It did Barbara Streisand's story, oh, yeah, Quincy Jones and. Oh, I forgot. I forgot I worked with Michael Douglas. Oh, I was Bill Clinton. He invited me to his house where he lives.

The big white one. Like, don't worry, your jig is up because Barbara Streisand smoothed it all out. What? Imagine that phone call. What?

Bill, it's Babs. Listen. He is something else, man. Been there, done that. Oh, yeah.

We did the first about last night. Scene was really the last in the movie. And then I went to the Monday night game where the Fridge scored his first touchdown. Oh, okay. As he was sitting there talking about the saxophone he had from about last night, I started mentally making notes of different Artifacts from different Rob Lowe movies.

Look at that right there. There it is. You know, what if he had like Soda Pop Curtis's gas station attendant shirt from the Outsiders or Dr. Austin Powers? He had an iPad.

Austin Powers. You know, an or from Oxford. Dude. He's not playing in that picture. Not playing.

Making it. It's called acting, right? Great story. Derek in Missouri, you're here on the Rich Eisen Show, one of our long times. What's up, Derek?

Oh, not a whole lot, Rich. I was going to say, if you had Burt Crusher at the Super Bowl this year, just make sure he doesn't have any bod cut. Let them and Grunken Edeman have wings so he don't get sick again like he did two years ago. I hear you. And at least if Rob Lowe's saying he's going back to the Super Bowl and he was there at Super Bowl 50 for the Broncos win, there you go, Derek.

Got to feel good about it. Just got to get there. That's all. Just got to get there. No doubt.

Speaking of that, Rich. I will actually be leaving for Denver tomorrow. I'm going to be attending Bills Broncos on a boy. Atta boy. Let's ride.

if anything's rich, I'm a little more anxious and excited. I mean, just because Buffalo is going to be no easy task and they never are because of Number seventeen, Josh Allen is his It's hard to Rudy gets a guy, but I have no choice on Saturday. He's uh I'm surprised the guy didn't end up in a body cast after that game against Jacksonville last week. The guy just took a beating in. For Denver, I mean hopefully having this first round buy is our to our advantage, but Sending Kevin Saturday or Sunday, Rich, and hopefully I'll be a doozy and hopefully we're on it one inside and If we play Houston or New England, Bring it on.

Travel safe, Derek in Missouri. Same name. Travel safe. That line is flipped, Rich. It opened Buffalo minus one and a half.

It's now Denver minus one and a half. All right. What does that mean? Money showed up somewhere? Is that what it means?

Usually, yeah, usually. Interesting that he says that he, you know, he's surprised that he didn't. Show up in a full body cast. Josh Allen speaking. Um couple days ago because Quarterbacks usually speak on Wednesday.

He spoke Tuesday because his game's Saturday. Had this to say about how he's feeling. I feel good. I feel good. Honestly, I feel well uh better than I have the last few weeks on a I know it's a Tuesday for us, but on a Wednesday Type mindset.

So good.

Okay. Now, hold on a second. Hold on a second. I know where you're going. Let me say it.

Okay. Because I'm excited to hear that he's feeling good. and Bill's fans should be excited about feeling good. But this is a Thursday. Yeah.

And on this Thursday, practice fully.

Okay. It's not limited. He's practiced fully, which means he's full of opportunity. Being Josh Allen. But this is a Thursday.

Replay that because it sounds like you went higher. Register to start. Hit it. I feel good. Oh, good.

Honestly, I feel. Better than I have the last few weeks. On a. No, it's a Tuesday for us, but on a Wednesday. type mindset so So good.

Oh, he went five. He double. He bookended. He double. Which means if you double higher registers, that means you're.

Does it cancel out? I think it might. Is it like negative 10? What's the math? I was told there'd be no math.

Did they cancel it out? I don't know. He started higher register, then talked and then finished high register. I think that's a double down. What is that?

This is a double down. Yeah. And Mike Hoskins, our coordinating producer, the Bills Mafioso by the way, it's like Bills Mafioso Row back there with Hoskins in the control room and Liz Weld in her office. The two Buffalo Bills fans here. Do they cancel each other out?

No, they don't. They double down. They double down. No, no. Oh, hire register Thursday.

That's coming up in hour number three with Albert Breer on The Rich Eisen Show. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast. Mm-hmm.
