Hour number three, the Rich Rising Show is on the air. Already a rate fun two hours on the program. Bob Chesney, the head coach of UCLA football, was sitting on that chair just an hour ago.
Now he's gone. Back up to Westwood, California. Hour number one, we had the great Andrew Whitworth zooming in. His beard was glorious, and he said Ryan Fitzpatrick blow-dries his beard. That's news.
We just had a great chat with Tom Segora in our green room. He's going to come out in about 20 minutes' time. We're going to chop it up with him. He's got a ton to talk about with his. Shows and podcasts, and so much that are happening with him.
And what he did last night, he was in Funny AF with Kevin Hart and Nikki Glazer, and it was. I mean, the Netflix as a joke fest is outstanding. He's a big part of it, along with Bert Kreischer. Going to be at the Rose Bowl. Should we have him sign our Rose Bowl seats too?
Technically, if he's run a 5K at the Rose Bowl, he's going to the Rose Bowl. Run a 5K at the Rose Bowl. Yeah, that counts. I mean, let's get Tom Segor signed. Yeah, why not?
We just can't have him sign near Troy Aikman because it's not the same, right? If you attended Joel McHale, yeah, because he didn't play. Right. Rich, if you've attended a Rose Bowl, maybe you signed the back.
Well, then I don't like that. He would see it. You know what? If I was the general manager of this team, I would reject that.
Okay. We tried. I guess I am the general. I generally manage to get through all three hours every day. If everything was different, it would have been different.
Thank you. If everything was different, it would have been different. Good new drop, Mike, from Wemby the other night. James Gladstone is here on the Rich His and Show, General Manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Good to see you, James.
How are you? Life is good. Jack to be here. I'm jacked to have you on. You and I have some friends in common who speak very highly of you, James.
You should know that. Love those guys, obviously between Les and Kara. People who have made a significant dent on my life. I know that they share very similar sentiment when discussing you and your wife. I appreciate that, James.
In the same virtual setting. Look at us chilling out on a two-box on a Zoom right here on the Rich Eisen Show. All right, so what does your job look like right now with the draft in the books, James? What are the funny things? It's pretty fun.
Fresh off the field. You know, we're in phase two of the offseason programming.
Okay. Rookies are traveling into Jacksonville here. This afternoon and this evening, and we'll get them in the building tomorrow morning and onboarded. And Rookie Minicamp will be over the course of the the weekend.
So, uh a fun time with a lot of moving parts. Obviously, uh you know, with the the draft just being wrapped up, we now transition into Really, the focus being on this football team in the lead up to 2026, while at the same time, a lot of our college staff is turning the page and focusing their attention on 2027. What did we see last year, James, from the college? Concept of what you and Liam Cohn were cooking up. Programmatically, program-wise, that you saw out on the field go, that's exactly what we wanted, that's exactly how it came out.
What happened last year in that regard? Yeah, that's a that's a fun question to ask. You know, as I I think back on on last season as a as a whole, I think there was a lot of positive steps in totality. At the same time, we definitely felt versions of adversity and. Uh one of them sort of finding are footing through back-to-back losses, one of which you got to call the game for in London.
Against a team that Liam and I are intimate with in the LA Rams. you know, taking a bye week and resetting really where We were sort of strategizing around how we might level up over the course of the back half of the season and really feeling good about that plan of attack, only for more adversity to hit. The fact that we were able to find our footing despite some of those adverse windows and bounce back in a real way and Social version of anti-fragility as a part of that, as a collective group, as a team. It was inspiring. I think it led to a lot more belief in what was being coached, being preached, and that momentum certainly has carried over into the early portions of this offseason.
And I look forward to seeing what that continues to look like moving forward. Did you say anti-fragility? Is that what you said? I'm writing down. What is anti-fragility?
What does that mean? You know what? I think the opposite of fragile. Yeah. It is an interesting way to, I guess, phrase.
phrase some of that. But nonetheless, I I think that you know, as you think about that game in particular, right before the bye week, we're in London and we get beat pretty good. We uh We come back off the buy and we're prepping for The Las Vegas Raiders, and Travis Hunter gets injured during that week. We come out. uh have a battle with the Raiders.
They're They're really trying their best to salvage the season at the time, and they're a fresh off there bye week. Brian Thomas Jr. gets hurt in that game. And so we had a lot of guys level up towards the back half of that game itself. And get us through with a win, only to turn around and play the Houston Texans.
get a big lead and surrender that lead and exit with a loss.
So I think that kind of window of a season, you know, it's not uncommon territory. It's likely to show itself. You know, one season after the next, in some way, shape, or form, but to be able to overcome those windows is a really important element. And I think Liam's leadership, our coaching staff, they really did a great job, as did our players, to respond the right way. Yeah, you won every regular season game the rest of the way after that loss to Houston.
And I do remember. You know Liam talking about in our pre-broadcast meetings in London about not Shooting them yourselves in the foot and not, you know, not. having so many darn penalties and then you know and then it was one of the worst games of the year in that regard for you guys. And I I I I'll I'll admit, like flying back, I'm like, where are the Jaguars gonna go from here? You only lost one regular season game after that, and that was one in which, as you pointed out, surrender to lead.
And then of course you mentioned those injuries too. Let's talk about Travis Hunter. Where do things stand with him right now? He's in a good spot. He's out on on the grass in a limited fashion here, and that'll be the case throughout the remainder of the off-season program.
As we get into training camp, he'll be full go. Really looking forward to building off of the momentum that was that game for him individually. Versus Los Angeles in London. Obviously, being able to breach the 100-yard mark from a receiving standpoint, get in the end zone. At the same time, he turns over to the defensive side of the ball and gets a PBU on a really critical down versus Devontae Adams in coverage.
And so being able to build off of really where we were at that point in time and use that momentum to carry into this next season is an exciting piece for us.
Well, then the phrase limited. um obviously is usually used for a player about Physically, going to be limited in terms of the number of reps, number of things that he can do based on his health. But when you're talking about a guy who can play both sides of the ball. I'm wondering if limited Is also another word that you might use for how you're going to use him, James. Right.
You could have asked that a little bit more directly. All right, let me do it. Yeah. Oh, no, James. No, I've admitted.
I didn't want to be, you know, I was testing your anti-fragility.
So, what do you think? Uh is are are are we done with the two-way with him or not? Absolutely not. No, he is he is set to play both sides of the ball. The piece that I think we can expect to see is actually an uptick in And corner usage, right?
Last year, it was a higher volume, higher percentage of wide receiver usage than it was corner. I think we can expect to see that corner. Percentile and count go up as we move forward. That's not to say anything impacts his. Availability and usage on offense, it just means that that.
Cornerback usage will increase. Why do you choose that side of the ball to increase? rather than the other. It's not to say that it won't increase on offensive either, but it was lower. On the defensive side, this past season, we also have a different defensive.
Cornerback room, and the bodies are different than they were a year ago. Our roster construction is different than it was a year ago, so it's more fitting to slot him in a corner in a different way than it was. At this time last year, or even as the season progressed. What does he want to do? He doesn't, you know, obviously, we don't get to chat with him too much.
Um what is he w what speaking for him, if you don't mind? What does he want to do? Yeah, he wants to play both ways, and he wants to do exactly what he set out to do when he first started putting that into action all those years ago. And that's his dream, and we'll look to support that in the best way that we can and be able to do what We feel like it is in the best interest of winning football games. And that's putting him in the position to do what he does best.
And usually, if that's with the ball in his hand, then it's defending. Defended some of the best receivers, and so it's an exciting element and one that we feel like we're going to reap the rewards of and look forward to bringing it all alive. All right, so to recap here, because I can't get enough of this kid, and I understand that's why you would trade up. And give up capital in this year's draft is for somebody that fills two spots on your roster and does it expertly and did it expertly and knows how to do it. mentally, physically.
But to recap. His injury is not going to cause the Jacksonville Jaguars to say what so many in my business think. Physically, it's an impossibility to do. Long term, and you're just going to cut that off right now, and he's going to play one side of the ball. That is not math.
Yeah. You said he's not going to be impacted in terms of usage from that vantage point. He is set to play both sides of the ball, and we look forward to bringing that all the life here in the upcoming season.
Okay, let's do that. What is the plan at running back for you now that Travis Hen? went to New Orleans. What is your plan at that position? James.
You know what? I think Liam's always been a strong proponent of a committee approach and being able to leverage multiple runners and varying running styles together.
So we're looking forward to how this room has taken shape, right? Obviously, we brought in Chris Rodriguez, who was with Washington most recently but was with Liam at Kentucky and has a really good feel for inside runs. And Bashal Tutin, who we drafted a year ago, really took a good step in his rookie campaign with Travis leading the way. Look forward to activating Tutin in a more significant manner while at the same time, you round out that room with two guys and LaQuent Allen, who we drafted in the seventh round a year ago and had a real role on third downs, is an extremely good pass protector. And then DJ Dallas, who joined us towards the back half of the season and offered special teams contributions in a real way and has a veteran presence to him that everybody appreciates.
So, looking forward to seeing how it all takes shape here throughout the course of the offseason program, but really once we start to get the pads popping closer to full. I imagine the eight minutes for the first round in the draft didn't really matter. Actually, it was to your benefit because it got you closer to getting on the clock finally yourself without a first-round draft choice, James. Yes? Correct.
You got to appreciate having a little extra time to prep for what lies after it. You know, it's not unfamiliar territory for me or whatever you might label as stillness on day one of the draft without a first round pick at your disposal.
So coming from the Rams, yes. I get it. You've had a lot of practice with picks not coming in the first round. I get it. We've waited longer than pick 56 overall in the past, so it wasn't too bad.
So, what do you have from the Rams organization on a daily basis? Obviously, you were there from 2016 on to the time you left to go to Jacksonville. How much does that provide a base, and when do you. Realize like in a moment where you're like, okay, I did that with Les, or okay, Sean did that with Liam, you know, himself. You know, like, how how much does that come up in your day-to-day?
I think it shows itself uh in an authentic Form. Myself having Les as a mentor, Liam having Sean as a mentor, we both emulate certain pieces to their operation, to their Their modes and behaviors. And I think at the same time, we have our own version of a relationship that's different from theirs. And I think we've installed a lot of the same things because it's what we value and what we found success with as how we move here. Nonetheless, being in a bunker with Liam is something that I get excited about every single day that I wake up.
And the energy that he brings, the seriousness that he brings, and the urgency is something that can't be looked past. He does such a great job with our players in bringing their best out. And I think that's what we want out of anybody we invite into this building: leveling up the people around them. And oftentimes, by doing so, being nothing more than who they are innately. And I think that the more you bring that can do that, the better off we'll be.
And we see a very clear path for what profiles fit this place and how we move. But to go back to how How much it looks like Los Angeles in our time there. It's evolving, it's morphing. And I think the further we get removed from it, the less similar it'll be, just innately, but certainly things that we draw back from during our experience there. That said, I noticed you drafted two tight ends in the same draft.
I mean, like, that's. Right? I mean, you collect tight ends. I was joking with Les last week. He's going to start running a 16-personnel offense at one point.
You know what I mean? Like, They collected another tight end in the draft, and you got two. Is that something to draw, connect dots here? James? Or no?
I think there's certainly in that game that we matched up against them, it was a notable piece to how they approached us. And how they were able to attack us defensively. I think beyond just the way that they operated and heavy personnel. Groupings offensively is that there was success across the league with that over the last year and likely to be a trend that teams follow. At the same time, you know, it was a position that we felt like there was good options at in this year's draft and a space where we wanted to continue to level up the competition internally.
And I think we were able to do just that in two guys who offer various. Skills, right? It's not the exact same player that we're looking at in terms of what they can offer. And so certainly excited about the combination of those guys and how it works within the room itself as it stands. And then how good is it that you don't have to go into a draft like I got to draft a quarterback?
I mean, that's good. That's pleasant. It has to be right. Seriously. That's pleasant.
I can't say that I've I've truly ever been in a place where that had to be the case. Luckily enough, right? And that my first year with the Rams, it was actually Jared Goff's. First year. And so beyond that, it was.
I did see parallels to where we were in the transition from the 2016 season in Los Angeles to the 2017 season in Los Angeles, where it transitioned to Sean as head coach, and where we were a year ago today with Liam as head coach and transition again. I do think that there's some of those experiences that we're able to tap into because there's a lot of connected uh layers between the two timelines, but nonetheless look forward to seeing how it all evolves here. In the coming season. I would have loved to have been sitting on, you know, in your office or wherever you caught the less Sean. press conference the Thursday night of the draft.
I would love to have picked your brain. On that moment when you watch that. It really wasn't until the next day that Liam walked in and he was like, oh man, check this out. Everybody's talking about this thing. I'm like, oh, that's classic.
He's going to love that. Classic, what? Mr. Grumpy or classic less in that moment? Probably a little bit of both.
I think it's fair to say both existed, you know. But at the same time, it's like, okay, if things go awry tonight, Liam, make sure you keep your composure. No. That's funny, James. That's funny.
Yeah. I mean, listen, obviously, you're putting your own stamp on things in your own spot with Liam, and you had a great first season. At that. And now comes the next piece. And I know you use the word level up quite a bit in this conversation.
And I look forward to you building the roster that allows you to do that even more. And uh just wanted to say thanks for coming on here. I appreciate it. I appreciate you guys making the invite. It's great to connect.
Look forward to the next one. Yeah, next one, I'll be more direct with my questions. Like, straight out of his rook, right through the front end. Dive right in.
Okay. Deep end. Thanks, James. Appreciate it. That's James Gladstone, the general manager of the Jackson with Jaguars, right here on the Rich Eisen Show.

Is that an REM album? That sounds like an album name. Yeah, don't you think? Yeah. Versions of adversity.

Tom Seguri here on the Rich Eisen Show, our radio audience just returned. We saw a clip from Funny AF with Kevin Hart on Netflix last night. We'll talk about that in a bit. And Kevin Hart's roast coming up this weekend as well for the finale of the Netflix is a joke festival that's going down right here. And it's amazing what this festival has suddenly become.
The names from the comedy world, it's just as A-list as it gets. Just everyone over and over and over again. Everyone. It is crazy how that is. And, you know, my wife and I, we explained to our kids that Netflix used to be something that you would rent a movie and it would come in the mail in the form of a compact disc.
Yeah. And then you would have to mail it back on the honor system. And my children are like, what the hell are you talking about? Do you know that when I got my special? Yeah.
So I recorded a special. It wasn't like a deal was done. It was like on spec, as they say. And then you send it to people.
So I sent it to Comedy Central. Yeah. And they were like, No thanks. And then it was like Showtime, HBO. And then I got a call and they were like, Hey, somebody wants to buy the spouse.
This is 2013. Yeah. And I was like, who? And they're like, Netflix, and I was like, the place you send D V D's to? And they were like, They were like, No, it's growing.
I was like, Cool, that's really great. Yeah, I'm growing too.
So this is great. And it was like not exciting. It wasn't like today where you go, like, this is the place to be. Yeah. And it was just like, I don't know, it was like a consolation prize.
I was not stoked about it at all. Right. Yeah. And it just happened to just grow from there. But it was not a fun thing to learn about.
When did you meet Bert for the first time? I met him in the green room of the Brea Improv in 2003, I think. And we were watching Tell it there was a it was a Saturday, and college football was on. And I was looking up, and I was like locked in because I'm a big FSU fan. And I was like, oh, he's like, you like FSU?
And I go, yeah, it's my squad. He goes, I went there. And I go, no, really? He goes, yeah, I go, oh, what years were you there? He was like, I think like 91 to like 98.
I was like, you're there like seven years? He goes, I think so. I was like, you don't even know when you graduated? He was like, not really. I go, well, like, who was there?
He goes, I think we won like a championship. I was like, so were you there in 93? And he was like, I think so. Yeah. I was like, Okay, so He had no knowledge of them whatsoever.
None. And now he's now he's now he's like, what, up on the board, firing him up and stuff like that on the we went to the home opener against Bama. Yeah. And he did a pregame speech to the to the stadium. Where he ended in tears and they just went absolutely bananas.
It was, it was epic. It was really fantastic. And how about him this year for the Netflix starting for the baseball season, the Yankees and the Giants? They had him in a kayak out there in McCovey Cove. And then he was out there and then they never went back to him.
So I'm like texting him. I'm like, are you okay? Like, did you get out of the cove? I talked to him later. He goes, I don't know what I'm doing here.
I was like, I didn't even know you cared this much about baseball. He's like, I mean, I liked playing it. I know, and he's hanging with Barry Bonds in the green room and whatever. Oh, my God. Dude, you should be there instead of him.
Come on now, Tom. I say every time. Yeah. You know? Every time.
Oh, my gosh.
So you're running the Two Bears 5K this Saturday at the Rose Bowl. Yes.
Now you did it at Raymond James. Last year. And we did the Rosewood before. The year before. Yes.
Okay. So I well explain to folks who may not know, and many of them do already, you're this is a legitimate 5K. I mean, it's a legit the way the origin of this is that we were literally doing a podcast. Yeah. And it was one of those just Why, like, he says so many dumb things, and it was one of those things where we're like, in the he was like, we should do a 5K.
You know, like, I was like, yeah, sure. And, like, as that, when that episode came out, we started to get hit up, and people were so into the idea. Yeah. I I can't take credit. But so many people Have started their fitness journey because of this fight, because they all come to it.
It was the first year it was like 2,000 people, the next year it was 7,000 people. This year we're anticipating over 10,000 people. And it's just like this thing where it becomes community. And so there's like elite runners that come, but then there's people who are like, I haven't done anything. Like, I look like you guys, and I would like to get some my blood pressure down.
So they come and they walk the 5K, and it becomes this thing where it's like we all get together, and now it's this big thing. It's like it's legit.
So there are people who are showing up who are professional runners? Oh, yeah. They want to win the the 5K. There's people out there who do the 5K in like 15 minutes, and then there's people who are there two and a half hours later. Yeah.
Yeah. It's the full spectrum of athletes. There's people at the Rose Bowl going, Can we wrap this up? We also do a thing where we're like, hey, as soon as you're done, we have drinks for you.
So it's not like, it's not the most health-conscious group that goes. If I had told you when you started this thing out that you and this pod and this would be an inspiration for people to get in shape, what would have been your reaction to that, man? That would have been something else. I would be like, I have diarrhea every day. Like.
I don't think health is gonna is going to be aligned with me. Yeah. Oh my god. Bad Thoughts returns May 24th. Yes.
And this is season two. Season two, which I'm so thankful for. I feel like, you know, season one, you're like figuring out what a show is. Right. Season two.
It's like we know what it is, and now we can we're so dialed in. I think it's a Much better season. I'm so excited. We really. You know, if you don't know, the show is not for everyone.
You mean the photograph of you on a bed in a bathrobe is doesn't indicate that, right? This is doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how How far we push it, but I love that Netflix, I've never, I've been in a bunch of development things. I've done shows, I did a movie. I've never had a relationship where we go, we want to do this, and they're like, No, okay. Like, they give us.
No notes. They're basically like, don't say the N-word. That's basically their notes. That's it. Not that that would be your default anyway.
No, no, but that is the only note for the season. Dial it back on racial slurs and you can do what you want. And you're like, cool. Cool. Where did you come up with the idea?
Is there a Genesis, is a moment, or something like that? Yeah, the crazy thing was, I was on tour a couple years ago. Yeah. And I have a pay-per-view platform at YMH Studios for if we want to do a special event. And my idea was, I had never done a scripted thing where I wrote it, shot it, and tried to go direct to the audience.
So the idea was I wrote these. Like essentially short films. And we shot them, and when we edited it together, we realized we had like a 35-minute episode.
So I was going to put it on that platform, but I showed it to my agents, and they were like, you have to shop this. We showed it first to Netflix 'cause of our relationship and they bought it. And so that was the whole thing: like me just trying to make short films and seeing if I could. Deliver it to an audience. And now here it is season two.
And now we're in season two. Yeah. Pretty crazy. That's great. Where did the idea of opening a bakery?
Hit you. Being fat and loving food is kind of like how it started. Um I've lost weight, but I can tell. How much have you lost? I mean, I guess from the heaviest I ever weighed, probably like 70 pounds.
Dude. But I mean, that's like. A lot of years, basically. But I feel like even if I had like 5% body fat, I'd be like, yeah, but I'm still fat in my soul. Yes, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I just love food. These guys, when I lived here in LA, one day I basically was just telling someone where I lived. And the guy was like, Oh, best croissant in LA. And I l I love Pastries and croissants.
I went to this place. I had one and I was like, these are legit the best, right? Because there's nothing worse than when you go, I'm going to have a croissant and it's like a dry you're like, I waste it. Yeah. It's terrible.
I just maintained a relationship with this guy. And one day then he lived, his business was in the Palisades. Yeah. So after the fires, we were just talking and I was like, Well, you know, if you ever Would consider coming to Austin where I live now, I would do something with you. And he was like, I'll do it.
And that was like I was like, Really? And then I just had to Really do it.
So, we went from everything from like figuring out this name. Chicho Bomba means it's what you call a little fat ass kid in Italy.
So, that literally is what you call a little fat kid.
So, somebody in Italian walking down past your bakery, like little chuckle. Yeah, that's exactly what they think. And we have. Pastries, pasta, pizza, everything homemade, and it's been selling out every day. And it's like Jamba and Marlow, though, that's the couple.
They are, they're the really the story. They're the ones who make it. But I'm the guy who's talking about it and trying to tell people to try it out because it really is amazing. Are we franchising it or what? We have three locations in Austin right now.
So, we have a little one a fairground one. It's like a little food hall. We have a lobby of the Scarborough building, but we just opened our flagship on South Lamar and it's been it's been popping up. Moving. What about out did you open open one up out here?
Hey, man. What do you do? If you know somebody. I I don't know. I mean, I mean.
You never know. You never know what people would want. I know. I would love to. It sounds amazing.
It's like a pizza pasta pastry, the Triple P. Dude. You know, out here in Los Angeles. Good and good for you. That's true.
I mean, certainly if you're carbo loading for a 5K at the Rose Bowl. The thing I do is like, if I go, when I do my three-mile run, I realize I got 12,000 calories to go now. I've bought some room.
So you got to replenish. Are you running three miles a day or something? No. Every time I get ready for this, though, I start to. The funny thing is, I'll tell people who are legit runners, and they'll be like, three miles?
And I'm like, yeah. And they're like, is that it? And I go. Yeah, and they go, That's like my warm-up. And I go, Well, good for you.
Okay, it's not my warm-up, it's my marathon. That's good. Yeah, three miles feels like a lifetime. Yeah, you're licking the pavement. I'm hyperventilating on that front.
And apparently, last night again on Funny AF with Kevin Hart, you and Nikki, and you were the judges, right? The guest judges? Yeah, we were the guest judges, yes. And you chose a guy who worked the door at the comedy store. We actually did not choose.
You did not. Audience voted.
Okay. So Netflix and whatever is happening in technology now allows for people to vote with their remotes. And it was like the first time they've done this.
So we were there basically. Watching their sets, commenting on it.
Okay. But the audience voted for Ron. He won the competition. Yes.
But I'll tell you this: I have to tell you. The four finalists, which were Ron, Osama, Caitlin, and Reg, I was not familiar with everyone's stand-up. Yes.
The three of us were blown away. We were like. These guys are so good. I felt inspired. I went into the comedy store right after and did a set.
Did you really? Yeah, because whenever you see good, like good stand-up, it makes you want to do stand-up. You know what I mean? Like, it's like... I'm out way watching the Masters.
I want to play golf, but I'm not as good as those guys. But good art makes you want to do it. If you're a singer and you watch somebody sing and you're like, oh my God, it makes you want to do it.
So I was so blown away by how talented these guys were, how amazing their sets were incredible that I went and did stand-up right away. It was like, it was, it was that good. Is there somebody like you call up and you say, I'm coming? Yeah. They make room for Tom Security.
They did last night. They certainly did. That's no kidding. Yeah. They were incredible, though, man.
Ron's going to be a guest at the roast on Sunday. And Ron got an hour special from that last night. That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. It's a game.
The game changed. At least it's not a half an hour. He was working at an ice cream shop. Unbelievable. Yeah, that is so cool.
Are you part of the roast on Sunday? No, I'm going to go check it out, but I'm not on it. But I know it's going to be amazing. I think Shane's hosting. They have a crazy dais.
It's going to be hilarious. What was you got a good story from the Brady Roast? I know you were part of it with Bert. Oh, my God. I was there in the audience.
Yeah. One of the funniest roasts I've ever seen. And I know what it means to our buddy Jeff Ross, too. To have the roast format succeed and still live. I mean, he lives for it.
He is the champion of Roast. He is the Roastmaster General and whatever rank you want to give him. He's unbelievable. And so to get Kevin for Kevin to say yes and keep this thing going, I think it's massive. It's big.
It's great for Roast. It's great for Netflix. I think it's great for the comedy format. I think it's going to be huge again. People love it.
Should be. Yeah. I mean, the Brady thing was like unreal to see the impact of it. I mean, I don't, I forget. They told us the time.
I probably am not allowed to say, but. The numbers were Outrageous on this. Yeah, no, they were. They were outrageous. And it was live.
And it was like a, it was a real. I think people realize that when you go live on that platform, It does something different than just releasing something. Yes.
Yeah. And they didn't gone, was it the first time Netflix had gone live? I know they did, I think it was Boxing was like a weeks before something like that. I forget where Rock's been, Chris Rock did a special live that did monster numbers for them, too. Right.
And you kind of go like, yeah, but specials can just drop. But there's something about being like, no, tune in now that draws people to it. And it worked. It definitely worked.
Well, who'd you meet that night that you knew? Bert might not have known, but you knew. I mean, Bert didn't know anybody. who did I meet? Uh well Randy Moss, which was Come on.
Right? Yeah. That was it. That was the The coolest. We hung out.
Yeah, we're hanging out in like a room with like Gronk and Edelman and Randy Moss is walking around. We're like, what are we doing here? You know what I mean? Like, what are we doing here? And we're talking to them about.
Like games and and I And then I I actually From that night, one of my friends is actually a a former player, John Feliciano. Sure. Yeah, yeah. You were just FaceTiming. Not well endowed, big heart, good guy.
Right. And when he came To Austin. I've befriended Joe Burrow because I was in Cincy and, you know, I think he plays there. Yes, he did.
So he came to Austin too, and they were like, Hey, you want to come to dinner? I was like, Yeah. And then we meet up at this place with those guys and Nick Bosa. By the way, I walk into the restaurant. Yeah.
Behind Nick. And so I get a POV of what it's like to be him. Yes, sir. People were looking up. Like they were seeing An AI human walk into the room?
He's a large man. Large, but like his hair was flowing. And like I was watching people who were like eating and then they were like And I was like, no one's ever looked at me like that. This is crazy.
Well, it's also Ohio, where he went to college. And so he's a folk hero. Oh, yeah. So we walk in and we sit down and then we're in this room having dinner. And then they start talking about injuries.
So like Joe's like, yeah, my neck, you know, I got this disc that shifted in my neck. And then, you know, Nick is like, Yeah, my knee kind of blew out on this thing. And John's like, I broke these three ribs. And then I'm just like in the conversation.
So I go, Oh, yeah, my. I hit I hurt my tailbone. Yeah. And I could just, I knew, I knew as I said it, that I was like, I deserve whatever is coming to me. These guys are talking about NFL injuries.
And I just felt it got real quiet. And then Nick was like. Did you Did you get that falling down the stairs? And I was like, No, man, it was it was punk coverage in high school. Yeah.
Mm-hmm. And he was like, punt coverage. I was like, yeah. I was like, it was Florida. It was real football.
It was real deal. And then they just lit me up for like thirty minutes of like Basically, you don't get to talk about that. I was like, yeah, whatever you want to say is true. I'm sorry.
Sorry.
So you got heckled. I got heckled, and I just, I didn't even, I was just like, well, what, what, okay, what about you? And then, you know what, Nick, he was like, you know what I'm really into right now? I go, what? He goes, books.
I was like, yeah, books are cool. Is this your first time discovering books? And he was like, well, yeah, I've been playing football so much that I never really read books. And he was like, but they're great. I was like, yeah, I'll give you a whole list of them.

We'll wrap up this show in a moment. Yeah. The Rich Heisen Show, the podcast. Rich Eisen here. Take a second and look at your city's calendar.
Everywhere I go, there's always something coming up. Games, concerts, conventions, tournaments, the kind of events that bring people in from all over. And when that happens, you can feel it. More energy, more fans, and a whole lot more people looking for a place to stay.
So here's something to think about. If your city has that kind of buzz, if big events are on the way, listing your space on Airbnb could be a great opportunity. If you're already planning to be out of town or you've got a trip coming up, why not make your place work for you while you're gone? You've got the space and you're not using it. It could be earning you some extra cash.
I know when I travel for these big events, I'm not just looking for a place to crash. I want something comfortable and safe. A place that allows me to experience the city like a local. And that's exactly what you can do by offering to list your space. No big lifestyle change, no long-term commitment, just making smart use of the space you already have.
So the next time your city draws a crowd, think about listing your space on Airbnb. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host. In a world in need of a hero, one man rises to the challenge in style. He is just driving the kids to soccer practice.

Now, listen, sir, I could see your t-shirt that you're wearing. Yeah. When you told me the name of the film that you were in with the cast and the concept of it and comedy, and I'm like, I am all in. This sounds amazing. I'm like, what's it called?
And you said the name of it that you now from up. Mistaken when you pronounced it uh on the show Shathids, right? Yeah, Shathids, because when it's spelled out, it's a total different word. Yeah, and I'm like, How are you gonna be in a movie? You're like, That's the name of the movie, and I'm like, How are they gonna market that?
Now you're coming in. The you could put back, it's called Idiots.
Okay, great.
Now, now I, you know, it's you're branded it. I, it's, it's same idea, same idea, yeah, a lot more safe for work to promote. Yeah, thank goodness, you know, because it would have been some slip-ups. Let me tell you, I just you can't go on shows like this or late night shows, or whatever, like podcasts you could do, but 100%. But idiots, yeah, and that's coming out in uh later on this summer, August 28th, man.
Get another one, get another. Come on, man. There it is. Idiots. Make sure y'all remember.
We got the cast right here. Oh, yeah, man. Uh, 28th. Dave Franco, who is outstanding. What a monster.
Uh, Kiernan Shipka is in it, huh? Sweetheart. Uh, Peter Dinklage. Yeah, legend. Dude, and you're in it.
Yep. Fantastic. Brand Stark is a snake. Always. Look at you mixing it up.
No king of mine. Awesome. No king of mine. I love it. Idiots in theaters near you and we'll be we'll talk about it.
A hundred percent. Um so um what's what what happened last night? Um, I mean, OKC does what OKC does. Which is They were faster. You're not allowed to touch them, but they could touch you.
And yeah, the dirtiest team in the league. Oh. Yeah, 100%. Everybody gets hurt going against them. Oh, so it's like, come on now.
Well, I mean, Vanderbilt getting hurt. That was the backboard. That wasn't anything that they did. Yeah, but I mean, you know, what's his name? What's his name from Philadelphia TJ?
My man that be dancing on TikTok, him taking out Luke's legs. Like, come on now. Taking out Kunard's legs and no, it's not a flagrant. It's fine. Get that home cooking.
And I can't stand them the most because it's just the Frankenstein monster of the Clippers and their inability to really run an organization. The Clippers made this OKC team.
So, like, they got to eradicate them from the league.
Well, they had the draft capital from that, along with SGA. Who, if I'm not mistaken, Jerry West was like, don't trade. Yeah, right. You know, and competent basketball over there. And it's still going.
But Sam Presty's turned these picks into human beings. 100%. It's aid. From the Clippers. And they're aiding them even more because now they got a lottery pick because the Clippers didn't make the playoffs.
So thanks. Balmer. Thank you so much for this monster. But the Lakers should be able to overcome it. No, I've listened in all seven.
Okay. Seven what? Games. Are you in the playoffs? Don't talk to me.
Seven games. I will never be on any publication and disrespect my Lakers. Austin Reeves can't go three for 16. It's just he absolutely can't. I agree.
He should play better. Yeah. Good enough. And the flopping? Oh my God.
They have perfected the art of. Manipulating contact on offense and then. Making the contact on defense, like, oh, it's an accident. It's just basketball. Bro, you cut my legs from what I mean.
It's not a flagrant. You had so much time. And you see. Other teams complain about it. I'm seeing it firsthand because it's the playoffs.
Everything is magnified, but you know, we know what it is, what they want to do with it. O. Shea Jackson Jr., one of the stars of Idiots, as it is now known, on August 28th in the theater near you and in a podcast near you, No Contest Wrestling with. TJ Jefferson that's about to be recorded. We'll wrap up this show on TV in a moment.
