And then there's also our Disney Plus page. As soon as uh this show's over, the show lives on. It just lives on. Forever? Forever?
No, I don't think so forever. I need to look. That's a mighty long time. I know. But it lives on long enough for you to watch it back if you've missed any of it.
That's true. Um, so there's that. YouTube started in 05.
So, yeah, I mean, we're we're going. No, I'm sure. 05. Did we get her plaque yet? Yeah, where is our million plaque?
Yeah, I mean, come on. This is ridiculous. I've got to make a phone call. I'm trying to get photo shoots set up. Do you really?
What's the photo shoot?
Well, you'll see it with the plaque. And we get it?
Well, it's like the cup. We're getting it. We're all getting a day with it. Are we on the pay no-mind list? Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Okay. At any rate, you can watch the first two hours and catch up. There's our podcast as well, all three hours if you want to listen to it. Chase Crawford's in our green room. Speaking of podcasts, there's one this afternoon as well.
Oh, that's right. Is O'Shea going to make it here? He'll be here for the first time. Is he going to make it here for the end to talk about how it's going to be? He won higher register on.
He rarely misses his time to sit in that chair. The fifth and final season of The Boys, new episodes released Wednesdays on Prime Video. A man who plays the deep. Is in our green room right now. Chase Crawford.
It'll be a lot of fun chatting with him. We haven't had him here in a few years if he's back. Um listen. Out of all the things people are asking for in this sports world. There's many.
Yeah, right. Mm-hmm. Of all the things, the one that we're asking about for the least, I would think, is to expand the NCAA men's and women's tournament. Gosh, nobody asked for that, did I? From 64 teams to 76.
Nobody's asking for this. That's fourteen more teams.
Okay. I guess the NCAA or whoever's in charge of making this decision sees the first four and goes, We need more of that. We need more of that. I'll I'll be straight up with you. I'll be straight up with you.
You know, I love college basketball when my team does well. And when they don't, I just don't pay that much attention to it. Same. Straight up. Agree.
And if my team is, and then when the tournament rolls around, I will be of interest. Yep. It will be of interest, but even doing this show. I'm not locked into the first four. On either side, men's or women's.
Just not. And on the women's side of things, you know, things really begin to cook maybe around the sweet 16. You take a look at the first two rounds, it is a rarity to have a lower seed. Win a first round or even a second round game. I think there was one upset, maybe?
Right? Yeah. I mean, I'm looking at the women's bracket right here. Um Virginia beat Iowa in two overtimes in the round of thirty-two. In the second round.
And what were the seeds on that? Ten over two.
Okay. So that was a pretty big one. That's a big upset. But then TCU restored order, if you will, beating Virginia by 10.
South Carolina, all four one seeds made it, but that happened to the men's the other a couple of years ago. But on the women's side, especially, you're getting 40, 50-point blowouts. Like, that's not good for anyone. I mean, there are some tight games I'm looking at here in the first round. But to say you need to see twelve more teams Um I don't understand it.
You know? Trust me. We're all into the more is more situation here. Certainly, you know, we live on an ESPN app, Disney Plus app. We're just like, keep on adding content.
If we can be part of it, we're in. I mean, we're all about more is more. Like, as a matter of fact, you want to call up the relegation zone again? Like, we'll just go back down to that, that, do that one more time. There it is.
The NBA, three teams, worst three teams in the NBA draft. We're giving you a visual. Of what the relegation zone is, it's three teams that are trapped in a mirror, hurdled into the deep space of the NBA. I'll make that joke again. Maybe in five minutes.
We're all about more is more. You know? But this this ain't it. I don't understand. Pete Fammel.
Paid Weiss Salt, the uh the NFL draft. Um Says that NFL officials met with media partners for the men's tournament last week. The sides were in the final steps of the media contracts, but they haven't been signed. Um The expansion isn't expected to be a financial windfall for the NCAA and its members, but sources stress there would be a profit. The added finances would cover the additional logistics for both the men's and women's tournaments.
The additional NCAA units that would come into play and still deliver quote unquote a modest financial upside. The primary driver of this move hasn't been money, but rather access for at large bids for power conferences. Ah, okay. All right, that that looks like don't sue us. We'll flip you a few at-large bids.
Don't sue us about the other stuff that we might want to do to lock you out. Is that what that sounds like to me? The expansion has been pushed by power conferences, which have grown throughout the course of the current deal. What do we need to see the 12th team in the big 10 and SEC? Does it matter if that allows the big conferences to grow bigger and maybe start doing things on the football side of things?
I don't know. I'm totally speculating there, but that's what that sounds like to me. Don't sue us. Here's more at-large bids. And then we'll knock you out of the like, what does that mean though?
Does that mean uh Final four happens on the second weekend of April? No? Yeah, everything. Deeper into April? Masters Weekend and the Final Four?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that would not be good. Why? No.
Well, why? CBS can they? Yeah, CBS has them both.
Okay. It would be a nightmare. Oh, put it on TBS then.
Well, that's shocking. Is that what that would mean? Or you start it sooner? That's right. Start it sooner.
That's again, sports fans, we listen. Hey, we'd like sitting down. I'd like, I should say, I shouldn't speak for everybody because you're not a golf fan. Do you sit down and watch the Masters? You really don't care.
I mean, it's on. Got it.
So I pay attention to it, but I'm nowhere near as investigative. Yeah, where it's just like living or dying with every shot. Yeah. There are a few, I would think, speaking for many. We'll view sports.
The masters are if you had a name Five sporting events where it's Leave Me Alone for the Day, everyone else in my orbit. Yeah. It's the Masters Sunday. No, no. Sunday, 100%.
Masters Sunday is like Leave Me Alone. I want to sit there and just say, Are those bird noises real? Yeah. Because I don't care. They are not.
They are. It just makes me calmer. I'm calmer. Yeah. You know, let's talk a little bit more Firethorn.
Hush tones, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did go. Raise your voice a little. Yeah, is that the loudest anyone's ever said fire for?
Yeah. Speaking of which, that is bitch. See, more is more. More is more. Except for this.
I had an Uber driver in Pittsburgh, and he told me something about the Masters. We were talking golf. And did you know that they were selling a food box? I never knew this. You guys probably put it for like $2?
No, for like $100, you get all the food that they serve at the Masters mailed to you and like a mailed to you? Mailed to you. You can get this. Is it the food ornament? Is it the food that patrons can purchase?
Or is it like the leftovers of Rory's dinner? No, not the stuff you can purchase. The drink mixes, you get the pimento cheese. Oh, yeah. He told me to have it at home.
Yeah, he told me here's a box you can buy, and you can get the full effect. Writing this down for next year. Here's a new one: you can get Vijay Singh's Half-Eaten Veal Shank.
Now, that's on eBay where you go to fantasy name. Is it too long for fantasy? A little long, I don't think. Vijay's Half-Eaten Veal Shank fit in the 25 characters. Yeah, I assumed you knew this, Chris, but I guess.
No, that's great. I love that. Yeah. That's next level. Yeah.
But yes, leave me alone, Master Sunday. But certainly, you don't. We don't need. Um What? I mean, well, that would be the women's final game?
Final, yeah. Come on. Final game.
Now, I've heard putting the men's and the women's tournaments in the same city. That's a great idea. That's a good idea. I like that idea. Because when you're in between games of the women, because the women play Friday, it would go Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
I like that. And the Friday and Sunday would be for fans that are there in between the the men's game and the the men's game will be there for the in between for the women's game. It's a lot of people it's a lot of people in the town. That's a lot of hotels. I don't know if it it it now um the women don't have their own stage in a different city.
I don't know if that would be UConn fans, would have worked. Same venue. Yeah, well, same venue. Yeah. Yeah.
They would have left both very unhappy, as I'd like to point out. Very unhappy. Very unhappy. You know? They would be the ones ranting and raving.
I don't know. We just don't. What are we doing? No, there's not a single person that's like, you know what? I would love.
You would love to have more of the games that you won't forget. and more of the games that are going down the wire. Right? You'd love to have that. Like Tuesday, Wednesday games.
Not the actual first round. I imagine. You're adding 12 teams.
So we're not adding 12. You're adding 12 teams, which would mean six more games. And I'd imagine that would be... You know, now you'd get a seventeen and an eighteen seed. Is that what it would be?
Or that's too many? You'd add maybe you'd add more first four. Right, but those what I'm saying is, you know, they're usually the first four. The expansion would be in the first four. Are either the 16 seed or they're the 10 seed or the 11th seed.
They'd be in the first four. And so instead of the 16 seed being either or, the 15 would be that way. The 14, 13.
So it doesn't even matter.
So we're not asking for that. Nobody is. Nobody's asking for that. I don't think so. Except, maybe the lawyer is saying you don't want to get sued if you leave the at-large people out.
So now, boom, you're doing that. Uh yeah. No thanks. Oh, thank you. Less is more.
In that respect, it would be. Yeah. So There's all of that. Let's go to Dominic and Montana. This guy country's been hanging on for some time.
Big Sky Dom joining us here on the Rich Islands. What's up? Hey, Rich. Good morning. Hey, I'm a Broncos fan.
And when Ty Simpson was drafted, I couldn't help think of Bonex both as an injury, the injury to Bonex. And also the player comp to both bonecs. And I just listen to all the dial I just think using the thirteenth overall pick to have a reliable backup is huge. Just looking at the Broncos last year.
Well, I again, the one thing I didn't want to because I you know, I I think I asked uh Les most everything. The one thing I would would ask him if I wasn't already sensing like he was kind of done with the subject matter. Would be like, are you really going to go into this season where it's Matthew Stafford potentially winning it all for you with your backups being. uh Spencer Stetson Bennett and and Ty Simpson. I don't know about that, man.
I'd try and get. Jimmy G back, if I could. But I saw a stat here. Do I have it here? Here it is.
Um Ty Simpson had the fourth lowest interception percentage in a season among quarterbacks in current Power Force schools in the last ten years. A minimum of 450 attempts. That list is led by Bo Nix in 2023. His interception percentage was 0.6%. As you've noticed, I'm sure, Dominic, as being a Broncos fan, he does not put the ball in danger.
That might be just all of his years of experience. He's a coach's son. Do not put the ball in danger. Caleb Williams and Dak Prescott are next at 1%. In their seasons at USC and Mississippi State, and right after that at 1.1 percent, is Ty Simpson last year and Joe Burrow of 2019.
So much like Bo Nick's plays. And then Stafford's 38, 39, Rich. He's old. Yeah, but if he wants to keep playing, Dominic, then the floor is his. You know what I mean?
Like, the floor is yours, man. And that's the issue is that. If he wants the floor to be his until It's his decision, it's not anymore. And thank you for the call, Dominic. I make this joke with my agent of the stars, Jerry Silbowitz, all the time.
I make this it's not a joke either though, but it's just I never know when I'm going to get tapped on my shoulder. I'm like, let's avoid the shoulder tap for as long as possible. Yeah, right. And I'll tell you what. You know, we got tapped on the shoulder here on this show in 2019.
And thanks to all of you here in this studio and everyone else that's. behind the scenes here. saying you're going to stick with it, we're still here. But we got a shoulder tap in 2019. We were able to shrug it off.
But nobody wants the shoulder tap. You want to say, I'm here until I don't want to be here anymore. Exactly. You know, you're fortunate enough to do what you do for the living, and you're tapping yourself on the shoulder. We keep telling you to tap yourself on the shoulder more often and go to your boat instead of working faders for White Sox Athletics on FS9.
It's the truth. I mean, I like what I do, and it's like I feel like I'm not going to. I get why these guys are okay, too. Right. Because it's they love it.
So if Stafford views this as. Wait a minute.
So at some point You're gonna wanna see what this kid does. What if I'm still working at it here? Doing what I do, loving what I love. And at some point, you know, if I'm say 40, and I still want to do it, and my wife and I decide with our girls that we're still doing this football playing thing. That I want to do it.
And then all of a sudden, I throw a couple interceptions. And they're like, you know. Yeah. Now I'm looking over my shoulder. Whereas When, you know, the Dolphins were picking 12th overall.
That wasn't the case. I was going to be the one tapping myself on the shoulder.
So you can't blame if Stafford has that Flowing through his Temples. You know? The bottom line is Okay. There's no easy way to script it.
Okay. There's no easy way to script it.
And you gotta plan for the future. If you're less needed, you do have to look over the steering wheel. And at some point you were going to do it. I always thought it would be let Stafford ride it out as long as he wants. And then Throw it open.
To the uh NFL community. Who wants to be The next Los Angeles Rams quarterback and throw that into the pond of all the Pro Bowl quarterbacks out there who might want to force their way out of a situation and see what flies. But that's not a plan. A plan is we're drafting Ty Simpson. We love him.
He and Sean McVay get along. They have a similar brain and a similar mindset. And if he is a Bo Knicks type guy, tough. You know, not that Big in stature, but big in terms of playing, and connected to the head coach, Sean Payton chose him.
Now everyone keeps saying that Sean Payton didn't really choose him. Everyone else choosing someone else left him for Sean Payton to take. But what if Bo Nix was Sean Payton's guy going in in the same way Ty Simpson was Sean McVay's guy going in? But we just won't buy that because the rest of the NFL community, save of Dan Orlofsky and everyone else, said this guy's a second round pick.
So now he's taken this spot. You're like, what's up with that? And the most important what's up with that isn't me, isn't you, with all due respect for Les Need and Sean McVay, it is Matthew Stafford. It's on them to manage all that. But I don't want the shoulder tap.
You don't want the shoulder tap. Anyone else doesn't want the shoulder tap. And Stafford doesn't want it. He wants to tap himself on the shoulder. And now you might sit there and think I'm no longer.
in that position. No matter how much the management might say, no, you still are. 844-204-Rich, number to dial. Chase Crawford is coming up next, right here on The Rich Eisen Show.

And Chase Crawford is here. And you know, the way it was described to me, because sometimes with what I do here and the NFL network, I'm not directly immediately on A show, like it took me a few months to get into Breaking Bad, for instance, years ago. Me too. The way it was described to me. is if Superheroes have no conscience.
At all about actually doing superhero stuff that they're about themselves, and it's crazy, it's wild. Yeah, right? Yeah, you're gonna love it.
So I watch it. And then, you know, not to spoil it, but there is a highly graphic moment involving Jack Quaid with his girlfriend. Right. and a train runs through. And No show makes me say holy S out loud more than the boys.
Like, I'm like. What is their malfunction? Where do they come up with this stuff? Yeah. It's gory, it's graphic, it's.
Hilarious. It's unpredictable. You don't really know what's going to happen. Ever. That's the thing.
Ever. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Is there ever a moment where you get in the script? You're like, really?
You're going to ask me to do that? Oh, God. Yeah. So much. All the time.
Every year, I'm like, oh, God, we did the hard thing. We did the hard thing. I'm good now.
Now it's off the easy stuff. But that opening hook was what, like, you know, Breaking Bad was a little bit more of a slower burn. Right. But that hook with him and Jackie, or Robin, I'm sorry, at the beginning. Right.
You think, you know, it's this kind of rom-com, it's just kind of like a same old, I've seen this before. Yeah, and then that moment, it just that's when it turns. You realize, like, oh, this is not like your normal like superhero show or any type of PG, you know, situation with the formulaic, you know, sort of arc. But, um, yeah, season three, that's when I had to be like, what are we, like, what are the camera angles going to be for this? And do I need to call my mom?
And yes, the answer is yes. The answer is, yeah, yeah. Have you ever called anybody in your family to say, don't watch tonight? There were, I think, I think there was when I was like, mom, you might need to fast, you know, fast forward through episode three of season three. But, you know, God bless them.
They, they would, they sometimes would just fast forward to my stuff and watch my stuff because the blood and the gore was, I think, the harder thing for them to watch. But the, but the character of the deep was brilliant. You know, they really, everything was so funny. And it's like if Aquaman was a sex addict and had no real moral compass. Yeah, right.
You know what I mean? Like a little Zoolander in there, you know, or exactly. But that's the celebrity aspect of it as well, because, you know. It is still, if you will, a fake Marvel world where You are put out as a movie star who is also in real life still a. Superhero with no moral compass whatsoever.
Except for flashes of moments like that. Right, right, right. Right, right. But no more like super narcissistic, only really cares about like holding on to their identity and being a part of this thing and being famous, you know, really, you know, comment on fame. But yeah, a lot of the fun stuff was like the in-world like commercials too that we did, you know, that he had to do for like, he was kind of like, he was also kind of like a D-list actor.
Like he was in these like lifetime movies and like did soy sauce commercials, which was really, really fun.
So I thought, you know, they really played into all that. And Amazon marketing played into all that. It was really, really fun. No doubt about it. I mean, I think, Chris, you were the one who was just like, you have to watch the show.
You have to watch the show. Because you were like, this is wild. And I'm like, I haven't had the time. And you're like, you got to do it. Make the time.
Do it. You won't regret it. But it's so, like you said, it's so sick and twisted. And I can't stop watching it, though. Yeah, no, I know.
And for, you know, for the Superman character to be on the plane, you think he's going to. Savings, exactly. No, no, no, no, no, I'm not saving anyone. No, no, no, no, no, no, carry this plane.
Well, I mean, and it's played by, you know, Anthony Starr. Yeah. Who is unreal. Yeah. As just the most like, imagine Superman having again.
No moral compass. He views all the people he saves as helpful to his image and his world. Like it's all narcissistic. None of it is altruistic. It's wild.
He's also deeply insecure when you see him quiet moments, you know, and like his obsession with milk. Oh, my God. There is no show like it. There's no show like it. And he, I know they were kind of cast, wanting cast, like maybe put a bunch of friends in it and famous, but then they kind of went away from that idea.
And I think he made a tape. He'd done Banshee, the show Banshee. And I think he made one, he was in, you know, New Zealand, made one tape. And I think they're like, that's our guy, you know, and it was really a quick, a quick kind of a casting thing. But I can't imagine anyone else playing that role.
And he should have gotten a little more love, award show love, to be honest. But yeah. I agree. And there's the most famous meme where he's realizing his. His awfulness is being celebrated by a crowd, you know, and he's like sort of in shock and then suddenly he's smiling.
That that's that was used as a meme for like a good solid two years, and it's still everywhere. The memes that have come from this show are just so top-notch. They're amazing. You can use them for anything, right? Right, right.
Yeah, and people do in our group text. Oh, really? It's really embarrassing. Yeah, what group texts are we talking about? You know, just like local, my, my, like, you know, friends and family texts, but they still, they still pop up.
Is Romo hitting you with one? He's not, actually. Romo's not. No.
Is Romo watching the boys? Yeah, I think they still watch it. I think they do. They support you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There he is. There he is. Love Tony, man. Dude. Yeah.
What would be his superpower? Oh, good one. What would it be? Hyping stuff up. Dinner parties.
I think it would be. He's a very good. He's a very good guy. Is he really? Yeah, he's really good.
Tony's hilarious and charming at all times. That's not surprising at all. I know. But you know, like the Curb Your Enthusiasm middle seat. That's where it's sit.
You know, where you heard that? Like, if you're a middle, that means you're good at a dinner party. He'd be a middle seat guy. He's definitely not a middle seat guy. Oh, he's not?
No, no, no. No, no, I'm not talking about on a plane. You're talking about at a table. Like when you're sitting in the middle on the side, there's one person on either side of you. Kirb said, you're a middle seat guy.
I remember. At a table. Yes. Yes. So he'd be a middle seat guy every dinner party.
He's like hyping everything up. You know, these mashed potatoes are pretty good. Here we go. You know, he's good, man. What is your?
I forgot. What's your football team? You got one or you got one? Cowboys still. Was that born out of Tony joining your family?
No, it wasn't actually. I have, there's pictures of me and my sister in like 94 with like Cowboy starter jackets, you know. Cowboys started. Yeah, yeah, we loved it. My dad went to, I think, the 93 one here at the Rose Bowl.
We've been Cowboys fans our whole life.
So it was. It was, yeah, it was a ride watching him play. I mean, it was unbelievable. You know, it was like a drug, really. You get there and you're so.
invested emotionally into into him and the and the touchdowns and the win and the loss. It was really it was the highs and the lows were really incredible. If somebody had told your dad at the Super Bowl That your daughter's going to marry the Cowboy, the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, right? He'd been like, What the hell? Get out of here.
He'd be like, No, no, no, no. He'd been like, Absolutely not. It was. TJ lives and dies at the Dallas Cowboys over there. Are you?
I'm so sorry. There you go. There you go. Black man. We've been struggling, though.
There it is. Nice. All right. It's hard to give it up, man. Every day they want me to give it up, and I just can't do it.
Can't. It's lonely out there, yeah, but it's been tough. All right, so we got a photograph of you. When did you. Play golf with Rory McElroy, dude.
When did that happen? That was incredible. Yeah, I was, I think it was a couple years ago at an Omega Watch event in Florida, actually, at this. place called Pine Tree, I want to say.
Okay. And yeah, and they didn't tell me until like the night before. He was like, my buddy Scott, who kind of ran the event, was like, yeah, you're going to, we put you with Rory. And I was like, no way. That's like.
For me, it's athletes. I get Tiger, I get starstruck. I was nervous around him, and he could not have been a better guy. He wasn't like. He wasn't like, this is an obligation.
I have to be at this thing to deal with these people. He was the coolest guy. We kind of played in this, you know, we were technically a team, but he was pounding the ball 350 right next to the game.
So was it one of those where you could play, you played one person's drive? Was it a scramble? It was a shamble, I think, obviously. A shamble.
So you would then play. Off of the longest drives ball. Basically, yeah. Did you play off his drive every single time? Every single time, yeah.
I don't think now, Alfonso Ribera was in that force him as well. You can play. He also strikes me as a guy, like, no, I'm gonna, we're gonna use one of my drives. Like, no, no, no, I don't care who Rory McElroy is. I'm a stick in my own right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're gonna use one of my drives. For sure. Am I right? It's what he struck me as a one of the drive.
Totally, totally, yeah. But will you use Rory's drive every time? I take it back. We use my shot on a par three. It was only like a 115, but that is dialed for my 56 or maybe 54.
Atta boy. And Rory. I mean, it was dead online, but he just went over it. It just went over the green, like 10 yards. And I stuck a sandwich.
Yeah, you did? But we used mine. You threw it done. Everyone was kind of calm. I threw a dart on it.
Did you say to Rory, I got this? I did. I was like, yeah, yeah. Give me the ball. Anyone have the ball, Mark?
Yeah, this is my tie-out. I would repair Rory. Yeah, it was great. You're taking your glove off as you're walking in the green. I got this.
Bossing in the club. Yeah. Yeah, thanks, Rory. Thanks for playing, pal. See at the carts.
I like it. All right. He was the best, though. You know, I'm asking about his whoop and everything. You know, I was like a little nerd, but it was awesome.
Yeah, to see him, to see him play and see what he can really do, like when you're in an intimate, how he shapes the ball and kind of how he would line up a putt. I'm like, wow, that's like 30 yards, you know, left. And he would just, it was really, yeah, incredible. And that's great.
So, not a long walk spoiled at all, like, something that he's a cool dude, exactly what you'd expect or hope. It's the best. Not having a bad day. I mean, that's pretty cool. Two green jackets now, too.
I mean, there's no doubt that. You saw this here. That It was house money for him. You know what I mean? Yeah.
And that. He could be locked in. In a way that he's now been, the dam's broken. You know what I mean? Like, that, that is.
A true Analogy that you can make with him right now. And he was talking about how not only was the master the last kind of thing on his back, but the grand slam was such a weighed heavy on him, too. Right. When that was done, and a lot of times when those guys figure out how to win at Augusta, they just can kind of, you know, at least get close every time. You didn't think he was going to do it again, but that's rarefied air.
Like to go back to back is awesome. I mean, yeah. How many strokes is Tony giving you? Oh, Tony's got to give me at least 18, probably. I'm about to golfer.
He's about to scratch. He's what's your I used to be better. I'm I'm probably a bogey golf. Like 14 is kind of what we what we're going to go with. All right.
I can I can potentially hang with you. Yeah. I mean, I'm I'm I'm double bogey. I finished second to last when I saw you.
Well, Stableford and Tahoe, that's not a bad way to score. You know what? Stableford was not my friend at the American Century Championship by any Stableford wasn't my friend. There were no, nothing was my friend. But look, by the way, that's a great shot.
That was a great shot. Let's put that back up one more time. This is you coming out of the sand. The video is going right back into the sand. That's the you're using a car.
A yellow ball. A yellow ball. That is a great shot. Wow, look at that. It doesn't matter where the ball goes.
You're looking good. You've got that swing, the follow-through. You're staring at it. Fun tournament, too. Fun time out there in Tahoe.
It's hard to beat, right? Oh, my God. The American Century Championship is the best. We were just talking about Ray Romano yesterday because I lost him in the karaoke.
Okay, it's a stinging defeat that I still can't get over. Right, right, right. And then he goes, I would think you'd be more upset with the way you played golf. And I'm like, that's true. Did you do karaoke?
I came late to this. Oh, my God. I missed it. I did some at Sinatra. Normally, That's Life is my go-to.
I don't know why I switched up to New York, New York. I felt that'd be more of a crowd pleaser song that everyone might know a little bit more than That's Life. Yeah. Might have been. One of those decisions I'd like to take back, certainly since Ray beat me, did and his kids did lose yourself by Eminem.
It's impressive. Over. But did you see the Kelseys do their performance? Did you feel like I came to the tail end? I saw them do their performance.
Yeah, that guy can own a stage. He's got some pretty good.
So, why didn't you play? You played before, haven't you? Dude, I get scared. I have played before with my buddy Miles Teller. My whole family goes.
Tony's up there with the nephews. It's just easier. You know, and the worst pressure off, the worse you play, the earlier your tea time is, right? Tell me about it. You know, I was up with the roosters.
I was crowing for everybody on that final day. Fans are light out there, but you know, do doing like a line drive into someone's kidney is not my idea. Like, I get so scary. And everyone thinks you're pros out there. You know, they're wrapped around like Happy Gilmore or like Tiger back in the day, and they don't know that, you know, like only the top five guys out there are not going to tough one in the woods.
I thought to myself, I'm going to do well enough. I'm going to do well enough. I promise I'm going to do well enough. And my caddy, money manager to the stars, Don Weir, says to me right around hole six, he hands me three golf balls. He goes, here, sign these.
I'm like, why? And he goes, to hand out to people you're going to hit. And I'm like, no, damn it, but great idea. Yeah, you just thinking ahead. You want your caddy thinking ahead.
No, totally. It's a party out there, but you realize you have a new respect for the people that can do it in front of people. Like swinging in front of people is. It's a whole other deal.
So, you know, it's fun, but I bowed out.
So, what is your favorite scene? From the boys. Oof. What is your favorite scene? Favorite scene?
That's a good question. I think my, I guess I'd have to say season one. You know, I'm sitting there in this van, and we're shooting the interior in a warehouse somewhere, but they're shaking the van. And there's like an animatronic green dolphin in the back. You know, I'm supposed to be saving from Ocean Land.
Right. And I'm like spritzing them down with the spritzer and like they're doing the thing. And I'm like, what the hell kind of show are we making? I remember thinking, like, what is this? You know, it was, I hear people laughing at Video Village.
I'm like, I'm having a great time, but like, you know, is anyone gonna connect with this? You know? And. And then that Friday at like 1 a.m. I have a video and they had to do the exterior and they like ejected it out of a windshield.
You know, he gets run over by a semi and like it was that's what I was that but that turned out to be my favorite scene. I was like, wow, then what they did with it was You know, it was good. It was like, you know, you're trying to save him, and then he just like the fugitive, but like with the dolphin, and it was amazing. Like, I'm driving the ambulance, but it was ridiculous.
So that was my favorite scene. And I, we must say, no animals were harmed. In the making of that scene. But it is exactly what I'm saying. Very few.
shows will just make me go, holy. Like that, I didn't see coming. Right. That is really wild. And that is unlike anything else.
Yeah. You know, like, that is, that is the boys. When are you going to do that again? Never.
So that was. In a nutshell for you.
Now, you're next up with The Land, right? The show that's coming. Uh, about uh the Cleveland Browns, Dan Fogelman's NFL-related show with the following the Cleveland Browns and Hulu show connection and Father Sons connection with the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, I'm excited about that. Who are you playing in that?
So I play the GM of the Browns, young, like Les Sneed type guy.
Okay, yeah, yeah, and uh, you know, and it was Chris Maloney plays the coach, Christopher Maloney is so fantastic in this role. I've seen the first three, it is awesome. I don't want to say too much about it, but I'm ecstatic about it, and he was so great to work with. He like is. The guy is kind of like a Dan Campbell-esque type coach.
You just fall in love with him right away on screen. He's great. The show is awesome. For Hulu, right? That's for Hulu.
For Hulu, yes, for Hulu. Right. William H. Macy plays the owner. That's right.
It's great. Many more Chloe Bennett play the Darshan. I mean, it was awesome. I saw a sizzle reel for it because we were shooting some scenes for it at the draft. Yeah.
Because they, you know. I'm in draft day, so they're like we need some realism.
So yeah, Ian, me, DJ, Charles Davis, and you know, also shot a scene for it at the draft, Roger Goodell. Got up there. And drafted, made a draft. He did this for draft day two. Fans weren't like confused or booing.
Because he did it in an empty Radio City music hall. He literally walked up to the podium with fans there. For the Steelers and announced a fake Cleveland Brown quarterback draft pick. You got booed. I did.
Because the Steelers fans just saw Brown's helmets and saw the commissioner make an announcement and thought, like, they don't know. He was in Pittsburgh. Right, right, right. They booed him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw it on social media.
So, Browns fans should take heart. Steelers fans hate you so much they're booing the drafting of fake quarterback for a show that they don't even know maybe exists yet. Right, exactly. That's how deep the rivalry is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I look forward to that too. We'll have you back when that comes. Me too. I'd love to come back. Please, come on.
Yeah, yeah, I can't. Come on, again. I'm going to see your moment too. It's going to be good. You know what?
I can't wait to see all this stuff. I like showing up places where people are like, oh, I saw you. And I'm like, why are you so surprised? The series finale for the boys, that's a bummer. But still, congratulations.

You there, Manny? He's up. Yes, I am.
Sorry about that. Gentlemen, how are we doing? What's up, Manny? How are you doing, buddy? Cracking.
Well, um just right away, uh Chris. What would Cage want when he wins a green jacket? What would he want for his meal? And for next year's tournament, sir, I think you should take your sons and throw down the garment on Ray Romano.
Now the last thing I want to mention, the draft was a pretty good success. What was your favorite moment? I I got a couple. Fernando Mendoza sitting with his mom, hearing his Fred Flintstone bowling ringtone. The little kid that yelled out, Speaker Still Suck.
Of course, the NFL host, Mr. Rich Eisen, is always a plus. But then, my other favorite moment was Pitt Spurt's own Batman Michael Keaton making up Pickpick Steelers. That was fun, other than that, guys. I missed it, guys.
It's good to chat with you. Be safe, be kind. That's what some sports are, everybody. Have a good day, everybody. And you know, Patrick.
Mark Ingram's son, right? Oh, yeah, he held up and he said Steelers still suck. Yeah, yeah. Come see me. Come see me.
Big trust. You're outnumbered there. You're top five of top five favorite draft moments. Oh, yeah. So I will hold off on answering that part of the question.
What would Cage's Masters menu be? Great question. Probably. Chicken nuggets. Nuggets, pizza for sure.
Yeah. Um basically your menu. Smoothies. Yeah. How much difference would your menu be from?
from his. You know, I'd probably farm out some ideas. What is that? I'd ask some people what their thoughts are. Oh, no, I know what you would do.
Kind of class it up. I know what you would do. Oh, yeah. You would make Gary Player and Nicholas and Faldo and Adler's raft raft food. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, sorry, DJ. You can't get what you want. Because Craig Stadler took it previous round. Not the worst idea. Mike Weir took your food, Bubba Watson.
They'll take your jacket away. Yeah. I mean, first of all, you got to get your jacket first. You know, I'm a little far away from that at the moment. Seems like Cage has a better chance of getting a jacket than you.
Well, I think my days have passed. You're a tremendous slouch, bro. Tremendous slouch. You know, I'm down on, I'm under eight these days. Imagine having a burger draft.
You've won a Masters jacket. I would die. And suddenly you do what you do. Your schmecky birthday celebration. You institute at the Masters.
That's. I would love I would love. All right, Phil, you're on the clock. What do you got? Chairman Ridley would be like, Get out of here, man.
You're never invited back. Sir Nick Faldo, we're waiting. Might as well whip out a cell phone. Oh, the peanut butter burger was really good that year. Yeah, Mike's been the one.
Mike's been the one. Two. Why do you? Yeah. I'd ask you for wine selections, obviously.
I appreciate that. You know, I'd love to dive into that rich colour. Like, open that door, but I'd have to get a green jacket. Like, again, Burger drafted the masters. Don't forget, you've got to look some of the greatest players ever and say, What you want to have tonight, you can't have it.
No, because one guy, like. Trevor Immelman took it, Jack. Like a bacon cheeseburger. You know what I mean? They accommodate all requests.
I understand.
So they would have to do this. They would have to do the burger draft at the Master's Burger Draft. At the Masters. Just saying. The photo is.
No one would be happy in that photo. Everyone would have a frown. They didn't get what they wanted. All right. Check out TJ and O'Shea for no contest wrestling later on today.
