Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Today's guests: 49ers fullback Kyle Yuzchek. Ravens Head Coach Jesse Minter. Actor Ted McGinley. And now, it's Rich Eisen.
Well, hey everybody, welcome to this edition of the Rich Eisen Show live on Disney Plus, the ESPN app, ESPN Radio, SiriusXM, Channel 80. Hello. To our podcast listeners who choose to listen to us whenever you want. That's all good in that hood. 844-204-Rich is the number to dial.
Joe Brady is being introduced as the newest head coach of the Buffalo Bills as we speak. Jesse Minter is already about a half an hour into his introductory press conference as the newest head coach of the Ravens. I'd like that press conference to end because I don't want Jesse Minter being all talked out when he joins us now on YouTube. Because, you know, once this is over, you got to meet with the local media and all that stuff. I need fresh Minter.
You know what I mean? Put that down. That's a new fantasy team name. Is it just Fresh Minter or I need Fresh Minter? Or Minter Fresh?
This Minter Fresh edition of The Rich Hansen Show. Ted McGinley is joining us in hour number three. He is positively delightful and delightful in the, and that word is perfect to describe the show shrinking, which is back on Apple TV. Susie and I love the show. Love it.
And it is back, Harrison Ford and. And that incredible cast.
So I can't wait to chat with Ted McGinley again in hour number three. Kyle Yuszchek is up first. I've got a power rankings of the top 10 storylines of Super Bowl 60, you're going to be sick and tired of by the end of the week, next week. I do that every year, normally on a Wednesday, but we got too busy talking about how Bill Belichick got hosed. Good to see you over there, Chris.
How are you? How are you? I'm excellent.
Okay. Good to see you, Jason Fowler. How are you? Hello, Bridge. Doing great.
Good to see you. T.J. Jefferson candle appears to be lit over there. Candle is lit. Smells great over here.
Oh, good. Thank you. Minterfresh. Oh, is it a Minterfresh? Fresh goes better.
It is a very good Minter Fresh situation. Listen. Bill Belichick still isn't a first ballot Hall of Fame. And I'll be honest with you. Did you fix that yet?
I'll be honest with you. I was saying yesterday, the Hall of Fame can't do anything about it. Um because they they hand the voting off to the um The voters And they can't put their thumb on the scale in any way, shape, or form. And then a press release comes out from the Hall of Fame yesterday, and I thought to myself, are they really going to. Tell them to turn the machines back on?
Like, is this a a a um A trading places moment? But of course not. Uh the release Came, it was a statement on media reports related to the Hall of Fame's class of 2026. The Pro Football Hall, if anyone, understands and respects the passionate reaction of many fans, media members, and enshrinees of the Hall itself in light of published reports regarding the voting results of the class of 2026. It's that very passion that propels the game.
The Hall also respects the members of the selection committee when they follow the selection process bylaws. It is an honor to serve as a selector. Each year the hall reviews the selection process. And the composition of the 50-person selection committee. If it is determined that any members.
Violated the selection process bylaws, they understand action will be taken. that could include the possibility of such selectors, uh would not remain a member of the committee moving forward. The selection of a new class is the most important duty the Hall of Fame oversees each year and the integrity of that process cannot be in question. And that's it. And that was left to be interpreted.
By everyone out there. My phone blew up. yesterday. What do you think? What do you think?
What are you hearing? Or theories. And they ranged from Somebody in that room did something with their vote. that they shouldn't have done. And I'm like, that would be a major scandal.
Or the general consensus is somebody in that room Um Took their selector or Hall of Fame membership. and being a selector foot and broke it off inside some poor Cantonian. to find out Who is chit-chatting from that room to Seth Wickersham and or Don Van Netta of ESPN, who broke the story about what say Bill Pollyan was saying in the room. and what was being said in the room about Any discussion to do with Bill Belichick andor Bob Kraft or anybody else who is up for. Enshrinement Um how that got out.
Because that's a no-no.
So, some people took this statement as there's a mole hunt going on. You know, and there's no way out for somebody. That's a very deep-cut 80s movie reference, or I think 90s. I don't know. At any rate.
Sean Young Minette. She definitely was. 80s. Yeah. I don't know.
I went lower register on that. Look her up, kids. Good news segment. Lower register. Lower register.
Oh, I would. Just work with that. Let's do that. During the offseason, hey, baby. Oh, my God.
Let's go look. Shall we move on? That's just a little weird. I feel like I should pull a Brian Gumble. Moving on.
And so I have no idea what that statement meant at all. But um What we did sort of get with some dust settling and some calmer Eyes looking at this. Is Looking at the actual process that the Hall of Fame does have control over. I believe. which is the way the selectors handle their business.
with the number of people they can vote for. And You know, we didn't discuss this yesterday because we were all sort of caught up. We were all sort of caught up in. In um in the, I guess, emotional aftermath of it. And There was a selector yesterday who put his name.
to the vote and the why. Um, I'm I'm Vay Gregorian of the Kansas City Star.
Now each team has a selector associated with it because that person will pound the table for, say, any Kansas City Chief, any Ram, any what have you that's up. And then there's a group of at large selectors that includes a bunch of Hall of Famers, including Bill Pollion, whose name was thrown about quite a bit yesterday. And apparently The vote For Belichick, was lumped in With the vote for Kraft and the vote for the three senior committee members. That three senior committee finalists that were forwarded from from that committee. Belichick was the one forwarded from the committee involving the coaches, and Kraft for the one involving the contributors.
And Um you could and the three Folks who are coming from the senior committee, Ken Anderson, quarterback of the Bengals, LC Greenwood, part of the Steel Curtain. and Roger Craig. Who's been waiting forever and a day to hear his name, first thousand thousand guy? in the NFL. And you could only vote for three of them.
And that's what mister Gregorian was saying in the Kansas City Star And he decided in his column you should look it up. Because it's very reasoned. Although I think some people might push back. Brockman, the New England Patriot guy here, was. just giving voice to that with a Internationally derisive, meh.
Okay. And that is, he voted for all three guys in the senior. Committee grouping.
Okay. They put all his three votes there. Yeah. Because he said These guys, it's rare for them to come up and get this far. And they've been waiting.
the longest out of anybody. And that Belichick is definitely going to get in at some point. And so he gave his vote. to the three guys in Greenwood, Anderson. and Craig.
As if Robert Kraft is in his mid-80s. I mean. Um but That was his point of view.
So, in other words, it had nothing to do with punishing Belichick for his previous Warts or scandals or gates, whatever you want to call it. And So I just wanted to present that since we were saying every vote that went against Belichick. was because He must have been in the mind's eye of who didn't put his name on their ballot. been punished. And instead, it was a process related non vote for Bill Belichick, assuming he's going to come up again.
And then there's others who are sending me texts as we're going back and forth about the statement that started this segment. that um some folks might have thought Well, the new rule in which Belichick is uh immediately available. They didn't like that rule, so they're not going to vote for the first coach. It didn't matter who that coach was, that coach is not going to get the vote. Chris, I'm not I'm I'm not giving credence to any of you.
I know you're not, but the fact that people are even throwing that out as an argument is just shows how foolish this all is. Correct. And then there is the issue that people are punishing him. Um and Or there is a process-related issue. Why are you only letting me vote for three of these five?
That seemed a little bit to kind of hide behind. Why are we putting Belichick in this grouping even? Why can't this just be an up or down vote on the one coach? That's it. Because I guess there's a finite number of of people that are going into the Canton class, and part of that is because they want to get this thing done before midnight with the speeches.
I I or they just want to keep the number tight. I don't have any reasoning for it. I also think that if there are other people like this Kansas City star voter. Robert Kraft might now make it. I would I would bet that doesn't happen.
You would say that again? I would bet that you just double-negative us, so I think I know what you're saying. I would bet that he doesn't make it. That would be Nuts insane as well. I talked to football players, pro football players.
Across the board, they think it's bold. That was Ben Affleck from back in the day. I flat. Yeah. So, you know.
The whole thing's this is what's up. This is what's up right now. with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And at the end of the day, you know, these explanations are going to come out one by one. And um So it looks like potentially a combination of punishment votes And sympathy votes for the guys in the senior committee that have been waiting forever and may never have gotten this far before and may never get this far again.
Um and uh put it all together and Everybody seems to have egg on their face. Yeah. Because Bill Belichick is a first ballot Hall of Famer in any standard, any place. anywhere 'Cause there's no words in the bylaws that somebody who has been Part of a scandal that causes a team to forfeit a first-round draft pick or anything of the nature. That that person Can't be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
That's an interpretation of what you consider. Uh is an honor. to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Yeah, if you want to like look at people who have scandals and leave them out, the numbers in that hall would be cut. In any Hall of Fame.
So That is the latest. I just wanted to start this show because we spent three hours yesterday fire and brimstoning this. Because it was unbelievable. I don't.
Well, it still is, and it still will be. It still will be. Is it true? Did Jimmy Johnson say to Pat McAfee he's not showing to the Halloween? I did.
I did hear that. Yeah, he said he's not going to attend this year. Wow.
Well. Really? That's unfortunate. But again, everybody, you know, people want to vote with their feet. They want to vote with their wallet.
They want to vote in other ways. you know, I get it, but Um Even though I just pointed out that this is potentially Um a massive Toast dub. Face plant. caused by a process that can be rectified. in future years.
Um That um This is still an incredible weekend. And part of the reason why the weekend is so great Is not only because of the fans who show up, but it's the returning Hall of Famers. And that would just be a punishment only to the people who. put this event on. Um and I and I hope you know Jimmy, who would maybe otherwise have shown up for The rest of this class, hopefully, he reconsiders.
Yeah. Because. You know, nothing beats a return to the Hall of Fame for me as a broadcaster. I couldn't imagine what it would be to have a jacket and stroll into that room with the rest of the immortals while we're still all mortal on the proper side of the earth. Also, why punish yourself?
I mean, you I don't know if you you've established that you don't agree with it, but like why take yourself out of I don't because he he wants to protest something and I understand that. Look, look what this day and age is. I have zero problem with people protesting. You know? He was fired up yesterday.
I got it. He was fired up. He was completely fired up. But. You know, I I'd love to see him there because I'm sure we'll all be there.
844-204-Rich is the number to dial. Kyle Yuschek is going to join us. We'll chop up Super Bowl 60, how he feels about the Seahawks potentially celebrating on his turf. The San Francisco 49ers. Jesse Minter is going to be joining us here on the program.
From Baltimore, from Balmer. Also, Ted McGinley of Shrinking, an outstanding show. I've got a, as I mentioned, a power ranking of the top Super Bowl 60 storylines you'll be sick and tired of hearing about over the next 10 days. That'll be my prediction for you. Oh, and by the way, my phone was blowing up yesterday, not just because of that Hall of Fame.
Looks like I was a $400 clue on a Tournament of Champion Jeopardy program yesterday. Um, we'll review that. Wow, yeah, why you say it like that? Yeah, why what was with the tone? Yeah, there's no tone.
Why would everybody? I mean, that felt like tone. Like, I would assume this was a happy thing, yeah. It's great, it's awesome. It didn't sound like it was all we'll review it.
Okay, great.
Sound like you were peeking off about this. We'll review it because I did spend uh 10 minutes between hearing about it and getting the details of it in a full-blown panic. We'll discuss that on this program. Kyle Huescheck coming up next on the Rich Eisen Show. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast.
Back on the Rich Eisen Show. On our simulcast on Disney Plus and the ESPN app. We're back on ESPN Radio. Um, he is a perennial Pro Bowler and one of the best in all pro at his position. It is great to have on the Rich Eisen Show courtesy of flips.
With a Z. A man who's got two Z's in his last name, Kyle Yuszchek, everybody. Good to see you, Kyle. How are you, buddy? Hey, I'm doing good, Rich.
Man, how are you doing? I'm doing great. I am just doing great.
So I'll just jump in, if you don't mind, with the topic that we've just been chopping up. Yeah, what did you think when you heard Belichick wasn't a first ballot Hall of Famer in the upcoming class, Kyle? I just honestly, I just kind of rolled my eyes. Like, that's that's insane. Like, who has a better resume?
I don't know how you really argue it.
So, uh, I was pretty disappointed by the voters and not getting him in.
Well, I mean, you know, because again, you weren't playing back in the you know, Spygate days or the Deflategate days, right? I was, I was playing in the Deflate Gate days. You were, okay, you were playing. I've been around long enough that I actually was a part of that.
Okay, cool.
Well, I mean, at the time, though, were you sitting there thinking that this was potentially disqualifying for first ballot status that you thought? this was something that that voters should keep in mind down the line, Kyle? Honestly, no. For me, no, because I mean, even the you know, to the spygate and and the sign stealing, when you guys were just talking about that, like for me, it's like Well, why do we use signs anyways? It's just so that we are not verbally saying exactly what the play is.
And so, like, that's masking. the play that you're trying to call but How is that different than like going to signs and now you have to switch them because you already know people are going to try and interpret those sign calls?
So, like, how is that different than interpreting a verbal call? Do you know what I'm saying?
So, like, I don't really feel like that is really outside of the rules. Um, because I mean, we're already trying to mask what we were saying out loud, so I don't know, they kind of seem the same to me, if that makes any sense. Sure, I hear you, Kyle. I'm picking up what you're putting down.
So, at the end of the day, at the end of the day. Were you texting with friends of yours, colleagues of yours, about this? And you chop it up with anybody or not? I mean, yeah, some of the guys that I was with, you know, we talked about it. We're like, I mean, I honestly, I feel like it's almost like it's a little laughable.
Like, everyone's like, how is that possible? Like, it just, it's just one of those things that. Yeah, I mean Bill Belichick, that is Everybody assumed a surefire first ballot Hall of Famer. Like, how do you do better? How do you.
How do you have a better resume? I mean, seven Super Bowls? Are you kidding me? And like, Or six, or however many he had. It was, I don't know how you top that.
Well, he had eight because he had two as an assistant. There you go. You know, com.
So yeah, and he's a guy who for years would have to keep repainting what? The... I'm not a boat guy. Is it a keel or a hull? Is it of a ship?
Is that what you have to repaint? Because it would be five rings. Stern. Stern. Okay, six, seven, eight rings, and all that sort of stuff.
And so you were drafted by Baltimore. That's right. Back in the day, where you surprise John Harbaugh? is changing addresses now. Yeah, I was.
That was a big shock for me. I kind of assumed that he was entrenched there until he wanted to be done coaching. And I know how close he was with with everybody there. And I I kind of figured, you know, the guys that are in charge there, they would be there until they all decided that they wanted to move on to something new.
So for him to move on and go to New York, it was a big surprise. And I think I had said even before they had a head coach that I felt like the Giants had a ton of potential going forward. And that if I was a head coaching candidate, that's one of the first places I would want to go in this offseason. And now, with a coach like him, I feel like they are set up for some major success next year. Kyle Yuschek here on the Rich Eisen Show.
So, how would you term the 49ers' season? Kyle, what word would you use? What Harvard adjective would you use, Kyle, for this season? Man, I feel it it was a successful season. I truly feel I see it that way.
Obviously, you know, I'm going to catch flag.
Someone's going to say, How is it successful? You didn't win the Super Bowl. Yeah, well, you know, 31 teams don't win the Super Bowl.
So are we all unsuccessful? No, I don't think so. I think you're always building towards something. And I think if we're just being realistic in the season that we were headed into, we knew that we were gonna have to rely on a lot of new people, a lot of young guys. We're gonna have to step up and play in roles that they've never been asked to do.
And it was gonna be just kind of one of those seasons that we just needed to figure it out and figure out what is this team now? Because The Niners, we were transitioning. We're moving from an era where we had Brandon Ayuk and Debo Samuel, and we had all these offensive weapons, and we had this defense that was just perennial Pro Bowlers that were stopping everybody. This was just a new year. And then you tacked on all the injuries.
We had to find out, you know, what era are we going into with the Niners? And I think with all the adversity that we had to deal with, and we won 12 regular season games, we won a wildcard game against the defending champions. It's hard for me not to say that wasn't a successful season. Hey, Kyle, I'll even raise you. I see you and raise you.
I think it was highly successful. highly successful. I'm looking at your numbers here. 17 games started, which by the way. is amazing on your team.
Not many able were able to say, I've started 17 games for the 2025 San Francisco 49ers because, listen, there's injuries and there's adversity. You guys were playing for the right to host everybody. In the playoffs. And obviously, we'll get to the Seahawks in a second with you. But that was highly successful.
And I. You know, I'm just wondering, you know what what You saw behind the scenes that was, was it Kyle Shannon's secret sauce? Was it? Just a group of guys because this year's You know, success, high success, is only going to give better amounts of playing time experience to the guys who did. We're the next men up, right?
And they're going to be the guys maybe of the future. There, Kyle. Right. That's exactly how I see this thing. And that's what gets me so excited and fired up for the upcoming season: is that, I mean, for all the success that we had this season.
All right, now let's bring back all. Let's bring back Fred Warner, Michael Williams, and let's add some high-round draft picks. Let's add some really good free agents. And we're really. We're not scheduled to lose too much.
Like, I feel like we're really just adding on, and you've just added all that experience to all the young guys. Like, all those rookies, all those second-year guys, now they've played in a playoff game and they won in a playoff game on the road.
So, like, for me, it's just like we just built all that up and we're bringing that into next season. You just got me fired up and excited at the end of that question that I forgot about what the beginning was.
Okay, no, no. Like, why were you able to be so successful? Yeah, you know, it's never one answer. I think it's definitely a combination of things. You know, Kyle is an absolutely incredible coach.
So, you know, his scheme is always a huge thing. But I think so much of it was leadership this year and a culture that we have in that building. And we go all the way back to OTAs. Excuse me, and Kyle had. All the players on the team that had been with the Niners for three years or more had him over to his house, had us over for dinner, and just kind of reframed and restructured the way we wanted to look at this season.
Um, for you know. five seasons or so in a row. We're talking NFC championships, we're talking Super Bowls, we're talking one seeds, and like that was the expectation. And that's, you know, what we set out to do. This year, he wanted to reframe that.
Yes, of course, that's always going to be your goal at the end of this whole thing, but he just wanted to reframe it in that. Hey, let's just get better every single week. And let's just see where we're at at the end of the season. Because there really was no way to know at the beginning of the year what this team was going to be. And I think we took that perspective: all right, let's just.
Get better, see how the cards lay out. And let's take a real big focus as leaders, as guys that have been here and know what our culture is. And let's each one of us, let's grab a rookie, let's grab a second-year guy, let's take him under our wing, and let's show him how we do this thing. And I think that just made a huge impact on us. And as leaders, as captains of the team, like that was something we were talking about all offseason: all right, hey, we got to bring these guys along.
It's not going to be enough that we just know what to do and we go do it. Like, we're going to need these guys in order to succeed.
So, we got to bring them along. Kyle Yuschek here, courtesy of flips, which we'll get to in a moment, but I'm having too good of a time reviewing the season and just chopping it up with you here, Kyle. Can you give me a story that encapsulizes. Christian McCaffrey's Greatness Uh man, I mean It's hard to encapsulate all of it in one because, as I've said many times, I truly feel like I feel Christian McCavery is the best football player I've ever played with because he's so well-rounded. And, you know, they sometimes they love to, you know, say jack of all trades, but master of none.
I feel like he's the master of all trades. Like, this guy can be the best runner in the league. He can be the best receiver in the league. He's incredible at pass blocking. He's incredible at.
What he does without the ball, and I think that's something. Um, you know, people are just going to gloss that over and say, Yeah, whatever, that's that's easy. But when you have the star caliber that you do as Christian McCaffrey, like it is so easy that when you're not getting the ball to just take that playoff, when they're uh you know faking a handoff to you, you can just kind of close over and just kind of stop. And there's backs all across the league that'll get away with it, and their coach will never say a single word to them. Uh, but this guy will carry out his fake into the line of scrimmage and pass, get tackled when he doesn't have the ball.
Um, if he's got a go route on the outside, you know, a lot of guys know, I'm just clearing this out, or I'm just a decoy, like this doesn't matter. He's gonna run it full speed. Um So, I mean it To just pick one moment is tough. But I had a great time this offseason. I went out to his house in LA and I spent a few days with him training, and to just see firsthand.
how much this guy puts into um everything and how much it took for him to prepare for this season. And this guy, no joke, it's six days out of the week. He was going from, I mean, he started probably at like 8:30 in the morning till no joke, 6 p.m. non-stop. He's got trainers with him the entire day.
And we're going from one gym to one field to his pool to the different recovery place. And it's just, I mean, I'm exhausted. I by no means am putting in like nine-hour days in the offseason, especially not six days out of the week. But this guy knew, like, So much was going to be asked of him, and um. you know 430 touches, I think he had this season.
And in order to be able to handle that, he knew he was going to have to prepare his body in the most extreme way possible. And just to see that dedication firsthand, and when everybody's enjoying their offseason and yeah, people are working out, this guy took it to a whole new level. You sure you didn't go there just to see where George Clooney used to live? I also was interested in that. Yeah, okay.
Wow.
Yeah, I see. I know the ins and outs of Los Angeles real estate here on the Rich His Show. What are you doing with flips, Kyle? What are you so flips? It was such an easy partnership for me.
My wife and I, we are guilty. We've snuck some treats into the movie theaters, and Flips, chocolate covered pretzels, was always in our bag.
So when they reached out to us, we're like, man, this is a simple partnership. And they've got a fun petition going on on the Flips website about switching the coin toss to the coin flip. Ladies and gentlemen, well done.
Okay. How can we help, Kyle? How can we help? Go sign the petition, man. Go to the flips website.
Okay. It just makes sense. It's not the coin has to flip in order for it to be legal. Coin flip over a coin toss. Understood.
And you can go to the flips Instagram page as well, or flips the script. dot com with Z. Everybody's got to make sure it's with a Z Join the movement at flipstescript.com. Your Super Bowl 60 analysis, if you don't mind before I let you go on your day, I think I'm already taking too much of your time. Um but great awesome um that uh you're you're you played Seattle three times.
I don't know if you're aware you were part of the first ever game uh in NFL history, first ever matchup in NFL history where it was week one. The final week of the regular season and in the playoffs. That's never happened before. I wasn't aware. There you go.
I'm giving you information: nuggets, fun facts. What do you think? You know, Seattle inside and out. Yeah. What do you think, Carl?
Not a big fan of Seattle. I like the Patriots' chances, man. Is that because you don't want Seattle celebrating at Levi Stadium? Go. Hey, man, they can celebrate wherever they want.
I know I would celebrate if we won a Super Bowl in their stadium.
So honestly, I'm not too salty about that. And I would be very happy for Clint Kubiak, Sam Darnold, and Eric Saubert. That's about it. But you know what? I got to golfed in the American Century Championship this past offseason.
with you, Rich. And Mike Vrabel was in my group. And I had so much fun with him. And what a great, great guy that is. And what an incredible coach and job he's done for the Patriots.
And they just seem like a very well-rounded team from top to bottom. And I feel like they can go in there and win themselves a ring.
Okay. And I am mandated to follow up. I know why, but I need the details. Why don't you like the Seattle Seahawks? Why not?
I think it's um I think we can all uh we all know the answer there, but that's a you know, that's a division rival. Uh it's a heated one. Uh every time we step on the field, there's a lot of words exchanged. Um, and and We'll just leave it at that, man. You never like your division rivals, and it's always a good matchup.
So they're yapping at you? On the defensive side, they're yapping. There's a lot of lip flap. We're both yapping, Rich. I'd be lying if I'm not returning the favor.
But yes, both sides are yapping. All right. And then before I let you go, Kyle, what's your future? What do you think? You just finished year 13, correct?
What about you? Feeling healthy, feeling great. I genuinely feel like I had one of my better seasons in maybe the last five seasons.
So I feel phenomenal. I'm under contract next year. I'll be in San Francisco and we're ready to go make another run at this thing and hopefully have a few more chances. Bang Bang Niner gang. No doubt about that.
Kyle, thanks for the time. Again, flips the script, F-L-I-P-Zthescript.com, or go to Flips' Instagram page, be part of the movement to change it. Do you think this can work? We'll call it the coin flip instead of the coin toss. Just makes sense to me.
It just makes sense. You know, because there aren't awesome chocolate-covered pretzels named Toss, are there? Exactly. Definitely not. You know, it's as simple as how's that for an argument?
It doesn't matter. It's the same taste. Best to your missus, Kyle. Thanks again. Thanks, Rich.
You got it. That's Kyle. You check everybody right here on the Rich Eisen Show. Doesn't like Seattle. Got it.
Up on that. He likes flips more than the Seahawks.
So he said flips are. He mentioned Darnell was on the team, Kubiak's from. From the from the world? Yep, yep. Of Shanahan, right?
I like the final flips. Oh, you do? Yeah, not. Are you trying? Are you now?
Are you pushing? You want free stuff? Is that what you're saying? You know, if a box happened to show up here, I wouldn't be the, you know, I wouldn't be mad at it. It wouldn't be the worst thing.
I bought flips last week. Did you really? Yeah. Why didn't you share it? Why don't you flip me some?
Because they're at the crib. I can bring you here. I see. Watching Shrinking last night. Sarah tried to fall some choco flips, but I'd already brushed my teeth and I have a strict rule.
No eating after I brush my teeth. Why? He won't go back and run. Once you brush your teeth, it's over. What does that mean?
Your night is over. No, absolutely not. Your night is over. You made your decision. You chose to brush.
That's the end of it. I remember he told me this one day. I was like, he was very committed to it, too.
So, once you brush your teeth, the shop's closed, huh? The shop's closed. That's a good way to curb. You know what I mean? What time do you on average do you brush your teeth?
Usually, right before bed, but the last night I made a decision. What was the decision? Early, calling it early. Wash. All right.
That's a good way to curb snacking, though. We're getting ready for Super Bowl. You know what I mean? We got to cut snacking now. I got to look tight.
Super Bowl week. What a weirdo. That was lower register. All right. We'll take a break.
We come back. Apparently, I was at Jeopardy Clue. I lost on Jeopardy. Let's go. Coming up.

Okay. Let's go to Gabriel in Washington. First in, first up. How have you been, Gabriel? Yeah.
Gentlemen, good morning. How are we doing? What's going on? Hey, I got a couple of points I'd like to say to you guys. One, being a higher register and something else with my chest.
Okay. But I got to start with an apology. On Monday, when I called you guys, I fumbled my phone trying to switch it from my headphones to my phone so you can actually hear me. Anyways, and I. Couldn't pick it up, and then I didn't hear the question you had to say.
And I just like blank and had a brain spark and just. All good. I proceeded to say just like. Redundant Obvious stuff. And it sounded like a Magic Johnson tweet when I read it when I l look listen to it back.
But anyway, so I gotta up my game today. Anyway, so high register Thursday. I got a brother-in-law that's a San Francisco 49 Irons fan. He told me that he'd be happy if Sam Darling won the Super Bowl.
So I got to thinking. That uh With you know, they everyone was tired of the Chiefs' fatigue and then now the Patriots are back and everyone's like, Oh, they get the Patriots. I feel like the bandwagon for the Seahawks is pretty heavy going to the Super Bowl and I think even the 49ers and Rams fans are rooting for the Seahawks.
Okay. Wow.
Wow, that's a very higher register, Gabriel. And by the way, that was well done. He ramped himself up. He did, he did, he did. You know what I mean?
It's like Evil Knievel about to jump in the field. Did I say something about the Hall of Fame as well? Sure.
So back to Super Bowl forty nine, Seahawks and Patriots, obviously. Uh Maybe you kind of feel bad for Russell Wilson's week with all the Malcolm Butler stuff probably being posted everywhere. I'm not on social media no more, but I'm sure it's just littered. But uh anyways I blame Russell Wilson for that pass. He's the one that threw the interception.
Uh he should have taken a page out of the previous Super Bowl opponent's playbook and called it Omaha when the play call came in. He said it said, Omaha, I'm gonna turn around and hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Had he done that and not wanted to be the star and Marshawn Lynch scored his touchdown, if the Seahawks did win the Super Bowl, I think so we have two automatic Hall of Famers on that team already. I think Bobby Wagner is a shoe in. I think Richard Sherman gets in.
But if Russell Wilson handed the ball off and Marshawn scores a touchdown, Markstrom Lichby Hall of Hamer. Cam Chancellor would be a Hall of Famer. Earl Thomas would be a Hall of Famer. Russell Wilson himself would be a Hall of Famer. And I think Pete Carroll would have got in.
I think they're going to be in the family washy to everybody. There you go. Wow.
They would have won. Call back, Cabriel. Thanks for the call. Appreciate that. That's a mouthful right there.
Listen. Well, Cam and Earl. We're going to spend a lot of time. By the way, you know, I got my POW rankings of the Super Bowl sixty storylines coming up.
So I'm sitting. In Taylor's basketball game yesterday, watching her ball out. Number 22 in your program, number one in my heart. Put twenty two on the stat sheet. That's what she does.
She's dropping Chris Paul was in the crowd too. CP three. Oh, my God. When Chris Paul he couldn't have been nicer to Taylor afterwards, telling her about how well she played and how she clearly loves the game and she's just lit up and it's amazing. He couldn't have been greater.
At any rate. My phone's blowing up, and as you know, Taylor is very well aware of While she's playing and bawling and hooping. She will notice if you're on your phone. And so I tell her to focus playing defense. Excuse me.
At any rate. But the reason why my phone's blowing up. is because um apparently in a Tournament of Champions edition of Jeopardy last night. I was the $400 video clue for a category called Rags and Riches. Hit it.
This former Sports Center anchor has helped us get up to speed on Sunday mornings with NFL Game Day Morning. Stephen? What's Eisen? Rich Eisen is right.
So thank goodness. Great photo. Thank goodness.
Somebody got because I got a bunch, like, hey, you were a clue in Jeopardy. And I spent 10 minutes like sweating, like, What if nobody got the answer?
Well, you know, sometimes on the sports related question, it's a big whiff. But what was the what's Eisen? I'm not an object. Was I being objectified? Wow.
What's Eisen? Hoskins said that this guy, that's his thing. He says, what's for everything? Because that qualifies. When you're answering.
What's Eisen? Great new job. Yeah. Is that the new drop? What's Eisen?
What's Eisen? Okay, great.
Go right under the 48. Could you imagine? Here's a question though, right? Yeah. When your picture pops up.
We didn't see this. You got the answer right. But like. Is there a name, or is there someone that they would have said that would have just infuriated you after? You know, like the what?
What's Barry? What's Barry? What's Barry? What? That's pretty close.
Not infuriated, but I mean, like, I don't. What made you go? Come on, son. Are you slightly offended that you were only a $400 clue? I'd be honest, I did want to know how much the value was, and then who came after.
But that also means that it means there's a degree of difficulty.
So I want to be a challenge, as you know. I want to be a factor. Sure, of course. Um. You know?
What do you think I need to be a thousand? Like, I mean, like, I need to be. No, I think, you know, you definitely don't want to be 200, because then that's just like, oh, this is kind of a throwaway. Yeah, I want value for my name. Yeah, of course.
So when Susie showed it to me, because I hadn't seen it yet. I'm like, wait a minute, was that because I saw there were 200 and 400 left on the board and it didn't jump out of any particular square. We did rack it back to see how much his total went up.
So I could see whether which one it was. Obviously, you want to be a daily double. That's kind of the goat category. Of course. Of course.
Jesse Minter, the head coach of the Ravens, is coming up. The Rich Eisen Show Podcast. Mm-hmm.
