Indiana head coach Kurt Signetti. Coming up. Broadcasting legend Marv Albert. Emmy Award-winning actor Henry Winkler. And now, Rich Eisen.
Power number three of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air. We already had two. Championship head coaches on the program. Rod Brindemore of the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes joined us in hour number one. And because I'm a patient man, joining us months after winning the national championship in football, Indiana's Kurt Signetti joined us on the show.
I am all how lucky! I am such a lucky guy. I get to hang here with you guys every day doing what we do. And I hang with all of you on Disney Plus, the ESPN app, on ESPN Radio, SiriusXM, 844-204-H is a number for you to phone in. and talk with me.
I just had a very nice chat in our green room with Henry Winkler, who's about to join us once again in our studio. And I never take it for granted. And I'm So thrilled to have joining me here off the top of hour number three as someone I thought of. When the Knicks won it all, Because I do what I do for a living. because I grew up in New York City And I listened.
to this man, call Nick's games on the radio. and Rangers games on the radio and conduct himself Um every night on NBC locally to give me the sports. And I fell in love with sports broadcasting because of this man and his cadence and the way he went about. His job. And the fact that I get to speak with him right now, after the Knicks won it all, after 53 years, is something I do not take for granted.
Ladies and gentlemen, The one, the only Marv Albert here in the city. How are you, Marv? Hey here, Rich. Great to talk with you. What a packed lineup you have today.
You know what? It's my crackstaff, to use your phrase, Marv. It is my crackstaff putting it together. I truly, I'm not just saying that because you were kind enough to say yes to joining this program, but it's the truth. I thought of you, man, when the Knicks won it all after 53 years because you called the last one.
And what how did how did he hit you when you watched the Knicks win it all, Marv?
Well, first of all, Rich, that's very kind. I was obviously very happy for them. Back in 1970, when they were their first To me, that was the most exciting. They did win in 73 also, but 70 was the team of Walt Frazier and Willis Reed and Bill Bradley and Dave DeBusher. Then it was Dick Barnetta.
Then in 73, Earl Monroe joined.
So those were two excellent teams. This team was surprising because during the regular season they were good, but not what they were in the playoffs when they reeled off thirteen straight. Wins and came behind somehow dramatically in two of those games. It was really. It was thrilling, no matter what the team or who the team would be that.
a ball club could do that. It was just amazing. And of course, the city went crazy, perhaps too crazy at times. And back in our day, we didn't have watch parties, but the city fell in love with this team to the point where it was over the top. in some situations.
Well, I mean, you take a look at what Jalen Brunson. Um has done Marv. Is there any Similarities that you've witnessed throughout your career. to see somebody join a team. and turn himself in many ways into One of the greatest performances or performers in clutch time.
Is there any comparison? It's funny, there was a letter to the editor. In the New York Times yesterday, asking how does one gauge The greatness of Jalen Brunson, millennova class of Well, at least for now it seems that he has edged out Pope Leo on the 14th Villager class since 1977 as the university's most celebrated alum. Yeah. That's where this is gone.
What he has done, of course, he was doing it throughout the season. But what he has done is one of the greatest playoff performances, I think, of all time. And there have been many as one who. uh did ma uh host of Michael Jordan's performances during the nineties. But Brunson was just incredible.
Yeah, and his 45 points in San Antonio ties Jordan for the most points. Um in a closeout. NBA Finals game on the road. And I just couldn't sit here and help but think that, again, Jordan is the avatar of what stood in the Knicks' way in many of the Ewing years. You were at the mic for so many of those moments.
And the fact that Brunson came up with a Jordan-like performance for the Knicks. As opposed to the Knicks being prevented from getting what Brunson brought them. Yeah. Because it was done to the Knicks by Jordan. I couldn't.
I couldn't help but notice that, Marv, you know? Yeah, that's an interesting point, particularly. in that Brunson, I guess he's listed at 6.2. He's maybe 6-1. Uh he it it's most unusual to watch him operate on a night-by-night.
basis, but he has actually done that all season. And did it last season, but not to the point that we saw. In game five and then the earlier game. But he has really been something, and he handles himself.
so well. And that's one of the likable qualities of this Nick squad is that they are Extremely likable. You know, that doesn't always happen. on teams, particularly winning teams. But uh This is a very special group and Yeah.
Mike Brown came over. He'd been with championship teams. He's been with teams that have not been good and did a great job with the Listening to players. And just handling every situation extremely well. Yeah, and it's not usual, as you pointed out, about teams being likable.
Certainly those that win one for New York, Marv. That's usually not just hand in hand. That's usually not hand in hand here. There's a photograph that really hit me. We're going to pop it on the screen.
Clearly, you know, you're on the phone, so you don't see. It's the moment of Patrick Ewing holding the Larry O'Brien trophy next to Jalen Brunson, who he's known Um since Jalen was two. With Rick Brunson and being on the 99 team that could not get past the Spurs like this team did. And the look of just sheer elation on Ewing's face as if. And he did say, like, I get to hold this.
He feels like he has won the Larry O'Brien Marv. And that really that's that hit me, too, when I saw that. He's also a Patrick is a changed. person, I don't know if you were in New York at the time when he was A star of the team, but he was tough to talk to, and he changed. When he became, I got to know him better when he was an assistant to Doug Collins in Washington, and then he coached a bit.
And He's a great guy. You know, in the past. He hated talking to uh anyone in the media. He ju he just uh was not friendly at east Turned around, and you can see the way he was so happy for the guys of today on the Knicks team. And he traveled with the team as a number of former Knicks, which was nice to see.
Uh but yeah, that uh I did see that photo, and it's really shows Patrick in a different light than a lot of people remember him from his days as a player. And then, one last one for you here on this: you know, numerologists pointing out that the number of all-time wins by Red Holtzman that hangs on the banner in Madison Square Garden is 613, and the Knicks won this championship on June 13th, thus 6.13. Am I informing you of that, Marv? Did you? Yeah, definitely.
Okay, very good. New information for me, Jeff. I'll write it down for you if you want.
So, what would Red Holtzman think of this team? Do you think? Oh, he would He would love it. Because they play defense, too, and that was his. That was his thing.
That's how he turned around a Nick team that was so so when he. when he took over. They were a very good defensive team. We're talking about the Busher, who was terrific in that department and Willis Reed. Earl well, Earl came later, but Fraser was also an excellent defensive player, great hands.
So, yeah, he would have loved this. This club. I mean, you know, I think back to 1970 and 1973, the city was wild, particularly in 1970, about the Knick Championship. But nowhere. Not what we've seen today.
Being a New Yorker, you would get a kick out of this, aside from the extracurricular activity that took place in some of the launch parties. But it's unbelievable how This area has just responded to what they've done. I do love it. I mean, I've seen videos all over the place. I just saw one today of what looks like a four-year-old boy, three-year-old boy walking up to people in the park saying Nick's one.
They're all hugging and high-fiving and exchanging gear. It really is great to see, as you pointed out, despite the extracurriculars. It's just great to see. And, you know, because I was pointing out here, Marv, that the Nick's contingent. to use another phrase of yours.
Includes Yankees and Mets fans and Rangers fans, you know, and Islanders fans and Giants fans and Jet fans that might not ordinarily get along. But the Knicks kind of bring everyone together on that front. Yeah, well, as you know, it's an enormous. basketball city. You know, there are hoops everywhere, backboards.
It's uh the most popular sport. in New York City. and its environments because Uh kids and adults. Play it as opposed, you know, for baseball, you need X number of people. Football, Uh also X number of people in a different type of sport.
Hockey has become more popular, ice hockey has. We used to play roller hockey, but ice hockey has become Much more popular, and but there's nothing like basketball in New York City, so that's That's part of it. You know, I think people do get attracted by The way this team played and not only how successful they were, but as I said, they were such a a likable group and they played the game in the right way. And you don't always see that. I would be remiss, Marv, before I let you go on with the rest of your day.
I don't know if you are aware, but today is the 32nd anniversary of the day that O.J. Simpson went on a slow-speed chase right here in Los Angeles, California. I do remember, yes. And you were at the microphone of the NBA Finals contest between the Knicks and the Rockets. What was that day like for you at the broadcast chair, and how were you informed of what was going on?
That was, I'd have to say, the most unusual that I personally have had as a broadcaster. we were going back and forth Doing the game, but we were going back and forth with Tom Brokaw, who was in the studio, and they'd cut away every so often. Uh At that time, there were T V monitors at courtside on the far side from us. It was more for the pre media that was sitting Our court side, and the players during the timeout, I remember it was Houston against the Knicks. I remember Kenny Smith running over to take a look during a timeout and then going back to the bench.
And I'm told he said they're chasing OJ, they're chasing OJ. And we had Dick Embersol, who is running the sports department at NBC, sitting to my left, and he was basically. Directing the telecast from his seat at the guard. Had a headset on, and he was we were going back and forth, and it was. I mean, it was crazy.
You know, just seeing it on our monitor as it went to Tom. And then it'd come back to me and I'd get right into the play by play and then go back to Tom Brokaw and it'd go back to me and I'm doing play by play and there's there's the chase. There's O. J., you know, scampering. On the highway.
It was incredible. Just incredible. How does one professionally turn a page? I mean, I just remember you. We're just frequently taking it back from BroCall and just what pausing and then calling the game?
Like how how How do you do that? Mm-hmm. You know?
Well Uh I could always set my mind on what was happening. I'm sure you would have too if you were court side. I mean, you have to just roll with it and I. I don't think there's ever been anything like that. And because it was O.
J. Simpson. In fact, O.J. worked at NBC as. Um doing the pregame NFL show.
Uh in fact, funny story, I was working with Paul McGuire. at the time and We would always rehearse. What we were going to say in the open of the NFL telecast. And O. J.
would be downstairs. Uh-huh. and he'd be listening uh to what we were saying. And then we learned a couple of times he was taking that material that Paul was using and would go with it on the pregame show.
So what we did, we started doing, and it worked. We would basically throw a Uh We would make up stuff. And say it, things that we were not going to say as we opened the telecast. And he went with it. You know?
So that's my. That's my best OJ story.
So you like fake information just to see if you would actually. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Well, that happened 32 years ago today. That chase during the NBA Finals, Mark.
Yep, yep. You know, I was in this. This sports bar in Chicago. I just graduated from the Medilla School of Journalism, hoping to be a sports broadcaster one day. I just didn't know what to do.
I didn't know what to say. The bar was deathly quiet, you know, watching this thing go down. But I was a. Most people felt that same way. But I was also a diehard Nick fan, Marv.
And this was a big game, man. And I swear to you, at one point I was just... You know, at one point I was just watching the game on the bottom of the screen, right? Like, there was a split screen. The larger square rectangle had the chase, and the smaller square had the game.
At one point, I screamed out, that was a flagrant foul. And everyone looked at me like, what's your problem? You know?
That was one of those. unbelievable moments, I think, in um in television history, not only not only sports, but just In the history of television, it was. Just unbelievable. Marv, I really do not take this for granted. I really don't.
I embarrass you every time that you are kind enough to do anything with me. I don't care, to be honest with you. Truly, I do what I do for a living, and I rip you off every day with words, cadence. Every day. And I speak for so many others who do that to say thank you.
I appreciate it.
Well, I appreciate it. Thank you for the extremely kind words. Thanks a lot, Rich. You bet. And say hello to Heather.
Susie wanted me to say hello. Say hello to Susie. You got it. I will do that. Marv, you are the man.
Thanks again. Greatly appreciate your two cents. More than any sign, you know. I will do that. That's more of Alberta.
Yeah, yes, and it counts. And I don't even know what to say. I mean, like, literally. I'm living my dream. Great, to be honest with you.

Rich Eisen here. And summer's here too. And that means it's travel season. My favorite summer trip last year was to Sao Paulo, Brazil. With so many fans traveling for the Los Angeles against Kansas City game, they got to see how lively the city is.
I love the culture and the amazing food that I'm still craving. Those memories remind everyone that it's that time of year to plan a little getaway. And that's why summer has a way of turning weekends into big events. One minute, it's a normal week. And then all of a sudden, a huge concert, sporting event, or festival brings people in from all over.
And when that happens, visitors start looking for places to stay all across your city.
So if you're already planning a summer trip of your own, you could list your space on Airbnb and earn a little extra cash while you're away. Doesn't have to be some big year-round commitment. It's about making the most of a busy weekend when your place would just be empty otherwise. I can tell you, people love finding a place that helps them feel connected to the city that they're visiting. If your city's about to have a big summer moment, this is a great time to maximize your space.

The Candy's. That looked like cigarettes? Oh, candies that looked like cigarettes. But also, you know, they thought sugar would they would help make the children energetic. And then so they would have cereal like frankenberry.
I remember that. And then made their children poop pink. And parents were panicked. But I must say, listen, the last time I was here, great things happened. Yes, sir.
And Chief Superpowl t-shirt. Whoa. Unbelievable.
So I got to meet, you know, because of you, I got to meet the great Patrick Mahomes. The man never has come to my house for dinner.
Well, here's the thing: what is it? I think he's been busy. I'm busy. Unfortunately, last year, the Chargers' home game with the Chiefs was played in Brazil. Right.
So they never made it here last year. They did not. No, they did. They never got to say to LA. That they that that might be part of it.
Is there a thing called off time? No, but anyway, it was, I am thrilled. I have his jersey. Yes. And I wear it every Super Bowl.
Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Is there, because I think the last time you said that you would offer him, what, a chicken dish? Chicken with reduction, the reduction sauce, mashed potatoes and a vegetable.
And I'm telling you, it is still available. Is there anything? Because, you know, he's rehabbing a knee injury. Is there anything? We have ice.
We have ice. And I will pack him. I'll pack his knee. What about chicken soup, the Jewish penicillin? Does that be true, though?
Do you think? Chicken soup really, really works. But I think this is beyond that. And I only wish him well.
Well, here's the thing. Do we have the schedules of the Rams and the Chargers that we could show Henry Winkler? Oh, here's the Chiefs schedule. Look at this. They are at the Los Angeles Chargers Right at the top of next year, June, January 2nd or 3rd, that's in week 17.
I will be here. But look at this: what? Week 13. It says Henry? No.
No, no. Week 13, they're at the Rams. There's two trips to Los Angeles. Hello. Two.
Two. Top of December, top of January. Yeah. Are you around? Do you know what you're saying?
You know what? I'll make myself around. I am not kidding. I will make myself square if that's what it takes. You love him still that much.
I do. He is wonderful. I am so sorry he got hurt. I want to tell you something. I know that the man was never born Mitzvah because honestly, anybody else being that hurt, playing that hard.
I cannot imagine it. I would just fall to the turf and cry. I would. Yeah, I never met Mr. Kelsey.
Okay, so we got to get that done for you.
Well, now it's probably out of my... No, no, no, no. That's not. No, no, no, no, no. Henry Winkler.
He gave me a t-shirt, though. He did. It said Faith, Football, and Fonzie, didn't it? Yeah, it was the Football Family. That's the Football Family Fonzie t-shirt.
So, yeah, he's not out of it. First of all, nobody's out of your. Max directed him. In what? In a thing with Nicy Nash.
I forget what that was called. The TV show? Huh? The TV show, yeah. He was wonderful.
He was so natural. That's what he wants to do, I think, when it's awesome. Yeah, but you know what? I'm not kidding. He has the thing in him.
Okay. We have, by the way, Hazardous History. Henry Winkler is here on the Rich Isand Show. It's Sunday nights, 9 p.m. Eastern on the History Channel.
And again, it's a series going down things that we used to do for fun or out of plain boredom that you can't do anymore. No. Hopefully not.
Well, because some of it's dangerous. Talking about sport. Do you know that a catcher for baseball in the beginning did not have the equipment and they used straw between their body and the shirt to stop the ball? I couldn't imagine that would be helpful.
Well, it didn't. It didn't help. At all. We have some instances as well. I don't know if they're on your show or not.
Well, they will be.
Okay, very good. Here's the first one: the sports edition of Hazardous History. Put it up on the screen here: Barefoot Kickers. Yeah, it used to be barefoot out on the field. Could you imagine?
You know?
No, because well, I don't know what they did because you have to kick that thing, and that thing is like a hard pig skin. Right.
And you could see on turf, you could scrape a toe. Oh, you could break a nail. Yeah, you know what I mean?
So you can't do that anymore. No. You got to put on a shoe.
Okay. Here's another one for you. You don't do it anymore. Like smoking in the locker room. Yeah.
This is Len Dawson during the Super Bowl. Right.
You know what I mean? Where is he now? The thing is that no, no, he's a very good player. I'm sure he. But there, but could you imagine they used to smoke during games?
Well, you know, you it it you you run out of breath. I was a smoker. You were? I was. If I could smoke the entire pack at once, I would have.
You mean taken all of them and all 20 at once, just cut off the bottom of the pack, light them up. When did you smoke? I smoked until 1980-something. Gary Marshall sent a woman to my house for a week. And she wore this this in metal, a wooden um necklace and and I said, Oh my God, I had an Irisetter too growing up.
She said, This is the Maharishi. But that was embarrassing. Yeah. But I stopped smoking then.
So that's when it hits you? Like, I need to stop smoking?
Well, you know what? My children said, Dad, you smell. Oh, got it. And I went, okay, I'm not.
So you were like, all throughout Happy Days, you were a smoker? Yeah. And people would say, don't you, you know, aren't you setting an example? And I thought, I. I smoke.
I'm sorry. I tried not to smoke in public, but I can't take responsibility until I stopped. In the same way that you pointed out that catchers used to wear straw, are you aware that NHL goalies never wore masks all the time? Yes. And the man got the puck in the face 33 times.
He went into the locker room. He got a plastic, like. A mask over his face. He came out. The manager said, You cannot do that.
The audience wants to see your face. He said, I will not go on the ice if I can't wear this because my face hurts. Is this your is this in hazardous? That is in the story. Oh.
How about that? We finally found one. I thought it was a Jewish mother that said, put on a mask. No. Also.
Also, every mother would say, put on a mask. But it's true.
Okay. Last one from our sports edition that's no longer happening is people water skiing and jumping over shark-infested waters. I did that. I did that. I did all of the water skiing except for the jump.
They wouldn't let me do a stunt. Because you're the star. Yeah, and there was no replacement. You know, there was no understudy. But I just want to say, and I've said this a few times, at the end, I let go of the skis, I pulled up on the sand, I walked out of the skis, and they freeze frame on my smile.
Half that smile is the Fonds going, hey, look at that, I did it. The other half is Henry Winkler going, oh. Yeah. You did it! You did!
You did. That's the hazardous history. My short German father. Said to me, Tell Guy Marshall that my. You water ski.
I said, I probably am not going to say that. Tell Gary Marshall you've ordered ski. And so finally, after 100 times, I said, Gary, I water ski, and boom. There you go. The history is now, history's now.
Yeah. Nobody's ever done it again. Jump the shark? I've jumped it twice, once on arrested development. Wait a minute, they did that.
They made you do that again. I went not the water skiing, I jumped over a shark on the dock. I love that show. Yeah. My daughter, my 12-year-old daughter, has watched every episode of Arrested Development.
I love her. And we don't stop her, even though some of that stuff's not terribly appropriate. No, but she's going to hear it anyway. But it's not just that, but all of my kids have watched them. And one time we ran into you a few months ago, my family was there.
You may recall when we just said, hello, is it a tennis club? Yes. And we were at a memorial. I know, and my wife was actually on the court right around the corner screaming about a ball that she should have hit better. But you know what?
Life happens. Why? It's also said. A little this, a little that. It sounds like she was part of the mourners group, is what I basically told her.
But my daughter said, Dad, that's Barry Zuckerkorn. And I'm like, oh my God. I like this woman very much. You know what? That's what she said because she loves your character.
What is her name? Her name is Taylor. Taylor, have the greatest summer, Taylor.
So she's like, oh, dad, that's Barry's opportunity, you know? What did you like about doing arrested development? What did you like about that? First of all, the cast was amazing. Second of all, I was hired for like two episodes and I stayed for five years.
Third of all, it was written So incredibly well. Mitch Hurwitz, the creator, had a feed in his office of what we were doing on the sound stage. He could see every angle of the cameras. And you were about to say something so funny you couldn't believe it. And he came running in.
Say this, say this. And it was funnier than one of the funniest things I was ever going to say that he had already written. I am not kidding. It was an amazement. What's your favorite scene that you did?
That you loved? I don't have a favorite. I have a favorite child, but I can't tell you.
Okay. But, you know, because I have to live with them. I don't have a favorite. I enjoy my job. I love my job every day.
Yeah. And, you know, I I I just again Your character was in so many positions that I would never think Henry Winkler would ever be in. But that is my job. You know. My job is to just create life in order to hold a mirror up to society.
Yes. Because hopefully we know everybody we're seeing if it's written well. I just didn't want to. Pause a couple times because pausing a television show to a child is a provocative act. You want to watch it, right?
You've got grandchildren, you've got kids. Right.
So, um, So there's a scene, one of the scenes, I don't recall which one. Where You are playing your character. And it's led into by a voiceover from Ron Howard. Yes. And I wanted to pause and say, do you understand?
She doesn't, clearly. Understand that Ron Howard and Henry Winkler together as part of a cast is one of the most iconic television shows ever. Did that ever hit you? He is still my, like my relative. Can you hear my stomach talking?
No, I can't. No. Can the audience hear that? No, you cannot. We're going to have breakfast right after this.
Ron.
Okay, this is great. Ron comes from a family that left the farm in Oklahoma. They went to New York. This was before Ron and his brother Clinton were born. They went to New York and they were uh on Broadway.
Rants. And um uh and and his mom. They drove across the country. The children are born. Ron starts at three.
I meet him when he is 18. I am 27. I am from parents that escaped the Holocaust in Germany. Living in New York City, he was a little bit of a mother. He is from Farmers in Oklahoma.
We were like Touched by the universe. There was a string between us. I didn't have to tell him what I was going to do. He didn't tell me what he was going to do. We just were in the same space at the same moment.
It's rare. You were talking about on the happy days. On happy days and in life. And in life. Yeah.
Right.
And clearly, he was doing voiceovers, you were acting in Arrested Development. And he was producing. It was his company. That's right. That's right.
I mean, it's not lost on me whenever that happens. It's pretty cool. It is so cool that I'm still at the table. Is so cool. Very much so.
Yeah. No, not just a small part of the table. You are at the table, sir. Wow. No doubt about it.
It is a wonderful thing. Do you have any memorabilia in your house? You know what? I saved one thing. What'd you say?
There was a shelf of plywood. You cannot hear my stomach. My stomach is telling a story at the same time. There was a shelf of plywood right outside Arnold's where we would put our water bottle or our cup of coffee down before we made an entrance during a rehearsal. And I wrote on that piece of plywood.
Today we're starting the sixth year. Ron Howard just had a red-headed daughter. A few months later, I had a red-headed daughter. You know, he said to Stacey and I, my wife, he said, We're going to move from California across the country. We think it's better to bring up children in the East.
Would you take the children? If anything happens to us, and I said, absolutely. He said, there will be money. to take care of each one.
So we were going to we're in charge. And yeah, Bryce Dallas Howard is an unbelievable actress and director. Yes, yeah. Is our godchild. Wow.
And everybody's doing well. And the money's in the banana stand, right? Yeah, yes. Unbelievable.
The Bluth family. It's always there. That's what I've heard. That's great. You're the best, Henry.
Thank you for coming here. I'm so happy I got to be here. Can I get you something to eat? You know what? I'm going to have something on the way out.
I just want to say, J.J. Reddick, you know, he and his family are part of our family circle. I didn't know that. And I just wanted to say next year is your year.
Okay. Do you have a prediction? It sounds like LeBron is re-signing here in Los Angeles. Oh, is that true? That's the word that he's talking contract with the Lakers.
Yes, sir. You know what? The fact is, he is great. Wherever he goes is great. We are great that we had him.
Yeah. Maybe he'll be back. Mm-hmm. He's very tall. How about he gets the chicken dish, too?
Get that. If Mr. James, if King James wanted to come to my house for a chicken dinner. He could bring the family. Maybe the Lakers should throw that in, and that'll be the finisher.
That'll close it. Knock it right off the bank. He'll close it. Great to see you. Thank you.

The setup is what? The setup is about pressure. Oh, you love this, Chris. You love the pressure conversation. That's his thing.
You love the pressure conversation. This man's been to a Super Bowl, though, so under a little bit less pressure than others in the AFC. That's true. I mean, a terrible setup. Because he's asked about added pressure.
This fair enough. You know, there's pressure. There's pressure every day, just waking up, going to work. Yep, extra traffic. There's pressure being a terrific quarterback.
Yeah. Somebody who gets hurt, unfortunately. Pressure to stay healthy. There's pressure to stay healthy for all of us. For Joe Burrow in particular, he was asked about added pressure, which I thought you'd appreciate.
I do love it. Talking about put pressure. Yeah. People put pressure. Billy Joel.
Oh, I get it. Is there any added level of pressure that comes with understanding what you have here in the building? I hope so. I hope so. I think that's great.
You know. Put pra put pressure on guys. I love it. I thrive in it. We'll find out who else does.
Okay. I know that we have the kind of people The Okay. want to be in that spa. I want everybody talking about the Bengals. I want everybody talking about what I'm seeing in my press conferences.
But is he You know, you go back and watch what I said before. 2019 season at LSU, you know, I feel very similarly about this team. Uh You know, I'm so excited to get started and In game. Get moving and k I wish we would ramp this ride into training camp so we can continue to improve. Because I feel like You know, there's so much greatness that we're going to be able to achieve This year, I'm just excited to get going.
Man, that is the most antsy I've ever seen. He can't sit still. Normally, he's just like, you know, Joe Cool, and like, okay, yeah, Price can do it. Make of it and mix diamonds, whatever you want to say. He's fired up.
Joe Burrow, MVP. He couldn't sit still. I'm serious. Nine to one. I've never seen him like that.
You want to, hey, Joe, you want people talking all the time? Put it in the press. He said, put all of the pressure on me. I want everybody talking about it. He would put pressure on other people.
Let's go. Other people handle pressure. He wants the pressure. He wants that smoke. All the smoke.
He's talking to Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, all these other AFC quarterbacks that haven't done Jack.
So it's not me, it's you. I'm not feeling pressure. Put pressure on it. You should feel pressure. He's talking about the other people on his team.
That's what he's talking about. Not like take it out on my colleagues. This guy over here. I mean, that's what you wanted him to say, but that's what I'm saying. I know, because that was what I heard.
He wants to. No, what you're because you want to already write it down. We'll do it for you tomorrow. Quarterback under the most pressure. Come on, do it.
Oh, Chris. Write it down for tomorrow because we're going to be able to do it. He already has his pre-rigging of it. Why don't you now rank him tomorrow? What are we doing?
He wrote this a month ago. I got 201 of them.
Okay. Okay. Let's do that. Jack in Columbus, Ohio wants to chime in. Perfect.
Perfect. Jack, what's up, Jack? Hey, Rich, how you doing? Congrats on the Knicks win. Thank you.
I had a lot to do with it. Yes. Well, my dad's a long time Knicks fan, so I'm happy to see him winning all of New York, too. Jack, I've only got a couple of minutes left for you, brother.
So what do you want to do? Do you want to do what you told Adam our call screen or do you want to do? Yeah, I would love to be a win-loss game for the Bengals. There's no.
Okay, you just heard what Joe had to say. He wants all the added pressure. He wants all the smoke. What happens when Baker Mayfield pays a week one visit? You know, we don't start off very strong, but I think we're going to change that.
It's going to be a win. 1-0 at the Texans. That defense is tough. That's gonna be a loss. One and one at the Steelers.
Mr. Rogers, Aaron Rodgers, Los Angeles Dodgers, we're sweeping the stealers. All right, Jaguars at Cincy. What happens? That's a w that's a win.
You're at the Dolphins at 3-1. Easy when you're at the Ravens 4-1. We're going to split with the Ravens.
So, at there, I'm going to take a loss. Four and two, home for the Titans. Foreign two, that's gonna be a win.
Okay, you're hooked on Phonics in Madrid against the Falcons. I don't like the international game. Falcons have a good offense. I'm going to take a loss. 5-3, home for the Steelers on Sunday night football.
I already know it's a win. Six and three at the Commanders on a Monday night. That's a win taking a Monday Night Curse away. Seven and three hosting the Saints. When Eight and three at the Browns.
No more Garrett. Don't have to worry about it. That's a win. Which Garrett? Is that Miles?
Miles? All right, nine and three. Chiefs at the Bengals. We dominated the Chiefs in the regular season. That's a win.
10-3 at the Panthers. A sneaky game, but I think we see it out. That's a win. 11-3 at the Colts. That's a win.
12-3, home for the Ravens on a Thursday night. I'm going to say a win on Thursday. All right, 13-3, home for the Browns. Yeah, another win. 14 and 3.
Says Jack and Columbus. Rich, can I ask one more question real quick? Real quick. Do you know how many days it's been since November 29th, 2025? Just curious.
Jack, I have to hang up on you now. Thanks for his preaching. That was pretty funny. I don't know the days, Jack. That's the second 14-3 we've gotten.
We've gotten a 13-4 and two 14-3s for the Bengals. Joe Burrow is antsy. Joe Burrow wants to welcome in the Buccaneers for week one tomorrow. He wants it yesterday. I love that sound by Joe.
We're going to talk about your press conferences. Because you want that added pressure.
So do we.
So do we.
