Are roll batteries the same? Yeah. That's like asking if all soccer players are the same. Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that?
No, just him.
Now take Duracell. Is there any other battery with power boost ingredients inside? No, just Duracell. Remember, GOATs only trust GOATs because they're built different. And Messi only trusts Duracel.

Now, on with the show. This is the Rich Eisen Show. What is the plan for Miami to build around Yonk? It's gonna be hard. Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles.
LeBron has not made himself available to meet with the Lakers. I'm choosing those words carefully. Earlier on the show. Academy Award-winning actor J.K. Simmons.
Apple TV lead MLS analyst Taylor Twellman. Coming up. Actor Colin Hanks. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Hour number three of the show is on the air.
I just balled up my top five observations of the World Cup segment. I threw it out, but I'm like, you know what? I need to smooth it out in case Colin Hanks has any observations about my World Cup's observations. They're very keen observations. That was the end of hour two.
Hour one, the Academy Award winning. Actor J.K. Simmons here. Colin Hanks is about to join us. Right now, uh, halftime.
Where is this match taking place between Dallas? Dallas, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys, everybody.
Somebody's actually winning. Are they putting up did they put up the curtain for this one? Or it's a different time of day. At any rate, it's 1-0. 1-0.
One nothing. As we say here in the United States, Norway on top of Ivory Coast. It's not the Ivory Coast because it's not like Ohio State. They're not pompous.
Someone's winning big games there, finally.
Okay, look at this guy. Oh, my. I'm starting to get early. All right. Joining us right now is Taylor Twellman right now.
He's starting with the high face. Oh, wow. Right on the ball. Don't do that, Taylor. Pace yourself, man.
What? That's exhausting. I'm tired. How about that 25 minutes? Are you calling in from your courtesy car?
Is that what's happening right now? What do we got? I am actually. Yep, I've got my cooler in the back over there. I've got that.
I've barbecue pit out here at New York, New Jersey Stadium, for those of us in America. Met Life. Nope. Careful. Careful.
Careful. We don't want to get in any trouble. Is this thing on? It is. Hey, man.
It has been on. We were talking about it about an hour ago. I don't know if it's because this is a time zone friendly World Cup. That's causing me to watch it way more. But The competition appears to be Wide open.
It really feels like anybody can win. The 25 stoppage time goals are. Riveting. Crazy. Right.
What is it? About this World Cup, Taylor, is it an outlier? Is it better than before? Like, what is it? Right now.
It's a great question, actually, because I don't know if I could put my finger on one thing, Rich, on why it's been.
So good.
Now, on one hand, I would say 25 stoppage time goals could be Part of the hydration break and the fact that you're more than likely adding 10 minutes. To the end of the game. And I don't say that tongue-in-cheek. I mean that like logistically and mathematically. You know how much is that?
But we saw some of this. In 2022, because they were they were in an essence saying, We're going to add time if you're delaying games, delaying restarts, rolling around.
So they've already implemented this in world football and in the game internationally that We're going to add extra time. And if it's 12 minutes, it's 12 minutes. But in saying that, In this pressure cooker, you still have to deliver in that moment. And that's where that gets the attention.
So 25 stoppage time goals to me. Is thrilling. This is a sport that you can easily, collectively shut down a better team with better players. No better example than Paraguay against Germany yesterday. And I was there, I was in the building, and I was there from start to finish.
Germany had no answers. There was an arrogance by how they approached the game. But Paraguay, the same team that the United States completely handled with ease. frustrated the absolute heck out of Germany just by collectively being on points.
Now, penalties are penalties, and you've got a 6'10 goalkeeper with a wingspan that covers the entire goal, and he came up massive in key moments. And Germany had a disallow goal. And for those of you that are watching this, By letter of the law, that was the right call. I have no idea. Why Germany's attacking player is facing the goalie instead of just looking at the ball?
Because if he's looking at the ball, it's no different than pass interference in the NFL. I'm not sure that would have been called back, but because he basically approaches the goalie, inhibits his space, the right call was made. This tournament, I still believe, Rich, and I and I know what the essence of your question is. I still believe the cream of the crop will rise to the top. And I am going to be in the building today for the best team of the World Cup.
France. I don't think anyone's upsetting France today. I think Sweden will get. A rude awakening. They lost to the Netherlands, what, 4-5-1?
I think France handles them perfectly, and France's road is now easier with Germany not being in front of them. I still think France, Spain, Argentina, that will be at the end three of the four final teams. Yeah, I mean, Netherlands also out on their side of the draw as well, losing in their. Penalty kicks to Morocco late last night, if you want to even include them in that mix.
So let me go for the nationalist point of view here in question. Um Taylor. That, you know, I'm a verbal guy more than a math guy, but I do remember in. Grade school. not too far away from the stadium that you're you're sit uh sitting outside of.
right now, Taylor, that if A is better than B, and B is better than C, then A is better than C. A is the United States, B is Paraguay, and C is Germany. Is this US team As good, if not better, than Germany based on that result? Yeah, Jer J yeah I I don't think I can honestly argue in Germany's defense here. And I raised an interesting question.
It's two in the weeds, but I'll bring it up for your audience. In twenty fourteen, I was in the building working for ESPN when they beat Argentina to win the World Cup. Since then, Bayern Munich has won 94% of the Bundesliga titles. Since then, they've got grouped in 2018. They've got grouped in 2022.
And they lost to Paraguay in the round of 32. And so something has happened to the German player. They lack personality. They lack a character that was always a given for Germany. There's no juice to them.
They don't scare the opposition. Paraguay was completely in control, even if they gave up 20, 21 corner kicks, whatever it was. I think when you look at this United States team, there's a hunger that would give them a listen, we all watched the Friendly Before the World Cup in Chicago. I get it. It's a Friendly Before the World Cup.
But United States completely handled themselves With ease, with no real struggle against a Germany team that in years past they would have struggled against. And so, listen, the high-profile player may be on the German side from one to 26, but that gap that used to be pretty big when I was playing against Germany. I'm not totally sure that exists right now, and I think that's a bigger indictment. On Germany versus the feather in the cap of the United States, because I think the feather in the cap of the United States. They've bridged the gap with a lot of nations.
I just don't think the German public fully understands what to do now. All right, let's talk about the U.S. team. Is it fair that they've got to take on Bosnia and Herzegovina? Come on now.
It's two countries. Two. Ridiculous. Two countries. You know, like Bosnia is not enough.
You got to throw in another one. Right. All right. Forget about you. All right.
That's our version. We took a geography break instead of a hydration break here. Right, what's the challenge here, brother? What do you think? What do we got?
This is the team that knocked Italy out of the World Cup playoff. That forced Italy to miss their third straight World Cup. This is not an AZ out. Are they favored? Absolutely.
Okay. They're going to be better tactically than Paraguay. They're going to be more. Astute individually within the collective process. And what I mean by that, each individual will do.
His job for the collective to really work. They're going to frustrate the United States. They're not going to be as ugly as Australia played. They'll be better technically. In saying that, though, Rich, I think you're you're you're Audience will appreciate this: is that when you look at their emotional competence in this.
This will be the first knockout stage game for Bosnia.
Okay? That is very interesting for them on how to deal with that. The other part to this is when they walk out onto the field. And they see all red, white, and blue. Their same colors, and yet all red, white, and blue are rooting for the United States.
How do they deal with that? I think the first 25, 30 minutes is massive for the United States. And I think if they get an early goal, they blow the doors off the building.
Now, in the 65th minute, when you text me and say, why is it still nil-nil? That is where Bosnia is going to be sitting there. They're playing with house money. The anxiety of the building is going to raise. And then the United States, which I don't know this answer to, who are the wild cards coming off the bench?
We didn't get those answers in the turkey egg game.
So now Pochettino after the first 45 minutes is massive for the United States. Absolutely huge.
Well, I mean, again, you're saying France is going to handle Sweden easily in the second match of the day. Uh today, but it just seems is is there parody? Otherwise, like where anybody can beat anybody? I mean, right now, Norway's one up on Ivory Coast. We saw what we saw over the first four matches of the knockout round.
It just does seem like You know What any every any given day in all these football stadiums, right? It feels like that. Yes, yes, Rich. But I also think this sport has always lent itself to the occasional upset. Greece won the two thousand four Euros.
And guys, I don't think they scored more than eight goals in the entire tournament.
So you can win games nil-nil and go to Penalty's. That's how you can do this.
Now, it's difficult. Two. fully pull that off. And the history will tell us how many countries have won the World Cup. Right, so uh eventually The cream rises to the top.
But to your point about parody, The game is so much more global now. D at Monday. For Ivory Coast, not the Ivory Coast. Thanks for clarifying that because I heard that three or four times today, and I was like, hang on, hang on, they're not the butt guys. That's right.
But the point is: number 11 for Ivory Coast, Diamonde. He was playing high school soccer in the state of Florida three years ago. And now he's starting, and he's going to be worth more than $100 million either to Liverpool. Or PSG.
So, the game is more global in that sense. And that sounds ridiculous to say when it's been the number one sport for 100 years. I get that. But what I'm saying is. the education of a player globally It's not just Western Europe and Brazil, Argentina.
You can find. Players, you can find diamonds in the rough, and these teams are doing it. Erling Holland's got he's averaging a goal and a half. Every time he plays for Norway, he's averaging two goals a game in every competitive game. Norway hasn't been in the World Cup, if I'm not mistaken, since 94, if not 98.
So, Rich, to your points, sure, absolutely, there's parody. But I don't think I'm coming on the show at the end of the World Cup. Finding a a new country That it's won the World Cup. I just don't believe that. Yeah, Cape Verde is not the UMBC of the World Cup, basically, is what you're saying.
Forget it. There's no glass slipper on it. I don't know, but they could surprise me. Oh, dude, did you hear the messy person? Yeah, you heard the messy sound body.
He sounded like Lou Holtz before they took on Rice. Like, hey, don't overlook. Don't overlook. He said Cape Verde hasn't lost in the World Cup yet. Like that was a good one.
I found that one. You know, that was fun. He wants nine goals after that game, so he wins the golden boot.
Okay. So what do you think? Belgium, round of 16. You feel it? You like it?
What do you think? Is it going to happen? What do you think? No. I think Senegal wins.
Oh, so United States v. Senegal in the round of 16. You think? Yep.
Okay. Yep.
I do. I can't believe I'm actually asking these questions, legitimately asking these questions. Because in previous World Cups, it would be like, why the hell would I even say? Hold on a minute, Richard. Yeah.
Okay. By the way, I can't wait to do that at the American Century Championship as well, right in the middle of my dollar. We're taking hydration breaks, and they're going to be like, Rich, you have to swing at some point. I'm getting ready for that next week. Rich, you gotta play golf.
I'm like, no, I'm here to come. I'm hydrating. Everybody back off. But I'm doing that. There's nothing better than lukewarm water that's been sitting in this for $2.95 weather.
We are all about selling out for the bit on this program, Taylor. But United States versus Senegal. Again, we had Greg Berhalter here before the tournament started, and he's like legitimate. Chance. Of the most successful tournament we can have as the United States is multiple knockout round wins.
And it Looks like it's possible? Yeah? No? You too? Yes.
Okay. Yeah. For me, that's absolutely 100% the truth. First off, it'd be the first tournament that men. Have ever done that.
Quite honestly, the men have only won one knockout stage game. Since 1990, if not 1950.
So absolutely.
Now. You just need to take care of business. If you beat Bosnia in a similar type of fashion, not the scoreline, but fashion that you. Be Paraguayan. Momentum builds.
And if you play Senegal or Belgium, Now, all of a sudden, that home field in Seattle. becomes that much greater. And so now there's belief within the group. And then you get to the quarterfinal. And you're playing against Spain, where everyone in the world thinks you're losing that game, that is sometimes when Americans are at their best.
And that's a position you want to be in. At home as the biggest underdog in World Cup history? Rich, I'll take that, but you got to win two games to get there, and they've got a big one tomorrow night. All right, brother. Thanks for the time.
Everybody, Taylor Twellman. Who I'm going to see, I'll see you next week in Tahoe, right? Yeah, absolutely. I've got a Euronote back here, too. It's amazing.
Well, I mean, by the way, I just said that American Century Championship is where I'll see you next week. But that's the next location I'll be seeing you.
So it's possible you and I are going to watch a game or two together. Right? Yeah, you got to arrange that with my people. I'm very busy out there.
Well, clearly, I understand that you're reading greens and I'll be jumping in the lake. Yeah, and I'll be hydrating. Ladies and gentlemen, Taylor Twellman, who doesn't ride a sedan. He's not a sedan guy. No way.
No way. We're at bagel. There's no question. If there's no third row, he's not getting in the vehicle. Carla Twellman, everybody.
Enjoy the bagel match. It was Taylor. There's no third row. I am not departing. He's trying to win the American Century.
I'm aware of what he's trying to do. I'm aware that I'm like, hey, let's watch soccer. Right. Let's watch the World Cup. He's trying to win.
He's locked in. Yeah, I got it. Yeah. If there's no further. I'm the one who's looking for the icy hot and red wine and a television.
Yeah. Yeah. Jesus. Let me look at this right now. Not in that.
Hold on a minute. Let me look at this possibility right now. Screw it. Colin's about to come out here.
So we get there Wednesday, July 8th. There's no games. There's oh, round of 16. It's a okay, that's a one o'clock Eastern.
So that's going down, and then Friday. Oh boy. Yeah, these all these matches The Saturday of American Century Championship. Is what? I said two games at round of 16.
Two games. Two games. I said two. Yeah. Oh, that's quarterfinals.
That's no round of 16. No, round of 16 winner.
So those are quarterfinal games. Yeah. Got you. Quarterfinal games. At American Century Championship, watch party.
Taylor Twellman on. Not there because he's trying to win. He's saying I'm there, like, who's with me? Hey! Hey!
And then I got to get to sleep because I've got the first tea time of Sunday. You and the Kelseys and the Miz, George Kittle. You know what? It's going to be better. I'm just saying.

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, Colin Hanks is here on the program. We just saw a great trailer for season three of the highly popular Apple TV show Silo that premieres this week.
Great to see you, pal. Good to see you, too. You are as locked into the World Cup as the rest of us are. I cannot get enough. Right?
I cannot get it. And it's the sweet, sweet juice of having gone from NHL NBA playoffs. Yes, sir. And then going from those tournaments directly into this tournament.
So it's just a sports. It's like what a time to be alive. We were just talking about it. You were probably making your way here to the studio that when Canada played South Africa on Sunday. And that was the only game.
I'm like, oh, I was with it. I was like, where's the next one? Where's the next one? And I'm like, I had to go on the ESPN app to, you know, where I'm checking the scores, and I'm like, What is only one? I'm Googling what channel Telemundo is to see if maybe I've missed something.
So you watched the Telenova instead of... You know, I mean, when nothing else was on, I just got to have some noise in the background. I don't care if it's in a language I don't understand. And we were just, again, talking about it. I don't know if it's because it's a perfect time zone for us, obviously.
Yeah. That there's not matches in the middle of the night, that we're seeing all of them. It's the fact that we're seeing all of them. But a buddy of mine texted me last night because we were talking about the results last night, and he posed a question. He says, is every World Cup the best World Cup ever?
And it really kind of feels that way. There's never like a World Cup that was like the Super Bowl last year. We were just kind of like, well, that was boring. Every match, there's something in, you know, in the storytelling of each match that is exciting. You don't need to know the players.
You don't even know. How to pronounce the country? I'm looking at you, Gronk. Um uh but like there's just some I mean Watch him try and pronounce Bosnia Herzegovina. That's right.
It's pretty. You know what? It's pretty. Don't forget the and. By the way, Taylor kept calling it Bosnia.
Yeah. When we were talking to Taylor Twelveman, he was like, Bob, is he Like, don't forget the Herzegovina. Is it Herzegovina or Herzegovina? What is it? Well, see, I like to make fun of the way people mispronounce things by possibly mispronouncing things.
That's just how I roll. And it also covers it that if you mispronounce it, you were just joking. Yeah. Look at you next level right there, man. Exactly.
See?
So we were just seeing. Hold on, time out. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen. He's taking a second along now. Hydration breath all the rage.
They're all a rage. Water, water, water. I don't want you cramping up in the middle of the day. No, I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not. I don't even need to do the extra coaching and stuff that happens during the hydration breaks. Look, here's the thing: I have a few observations. Yes, you're the World Cup? Yes.
Okay. Okay. People don't like these hydration breaks. You want to know what? You run for 45 minutes.
Yeah, right? And then run for another 45 minutes. Yeah, you're right. And then maybe run for another 30 minutes. Yeah.
Good luck with that. But you could take a sip of water at some point, don't you? I mean, a dude went through four jerseys last night because it was so hot and muggy down in Monterey. I mean, four jerseys. You lived in the East Coast.
I know for a fact at one point you walked into your apartment after walking, I don't know how many blocks, took off all of your clothes and stood in front of the air conditioner.
Okay, that is a rite of passage. That is what you do. Exactly. That's the way you work some of these games for Fox, right? Mike?
Yeah, shirts off. My job is off like the player. You can't leave the room as you're mixing the match. Do you need a hydration break? I don't get to leave the room during the hydration break, so I'm still.
Uh-oh.
So you need a bathroom. That gets into. Yes.
What about that? Would that be more amenable?
Well, look, I mean, I know that you have a very heavy stretching regimen before every event. I run around the audio.
So, you know, he's prepared. He's prepared in a way. Also, the hands-up thing. Yeah, yeah. The hands-up thing, look, in football, they say hike.
Yes.
It's the agreement that we're all going to start the play that we've come up with. The corner kick, that's what it is. It's basically, I'm going to go now. Right. I'm going to go now.
Which is, again, what you say when you. need your bathroom break. Gotta go now. Gotta go now. Announce it to the entire Fox.
I really have to go now, but I can't fuck both. But it's just they're all raising their hands. Like, the ball was not off me, it was off of the odd guys. Yeah, well, yeah, with the corner kicks and all that sort of stuff. I mean, the throw-ins.
I mean, soccer is played in such a huge stadium. Yes.
You really got to. Over. act in order to get any kind of Any any kind of attention. Were you pleased with this year's Stanley Cup? I was.
I thought the entire playoffs were great. I was really surprised that Colorado got bounced. I did not see that coming. And, you know, all of the games I thought were fantastic. And again, the storylines.
I mean, that's what I love about sports. Were you, I thought of you when Montreal got bounced. Yes.
Are you still pleased? That the curse of Marty McSorley's stick is still in effect. I am 2026. I am still pleased in a very, you know, I feel bad, but there is something I just find so enticing about the fact that no Canadian team has won since 1996. Ever since they checked Marty McSorley's stick.
They shouldn't have done it. Do you believe in this, really? I like to do it. You know what I mean? Like deep down, it truly is: this is the curse.
This is the curse, man. I mean, I want to make a documentary about it.
So I'm so I've still got another shot. Congrats on the John Candy. Thanks, man. Thank you very much. You know, what a great.
great documentary that was. Yeah. And you know, looking back on it, like what did you find in that documentary that you did not know and you were so excited that you threw in that? You know, I think more than anything else, uh uh just the fact that John was exactly the kind of person that we all Thought he was. Yes.
He was a delight. He was a good person. He was a good human being. He cared for everyone, whether you owned the building or whether you just opened the door to the building. He treated everybody the same.
And the more and more stories I heard from people, the more and more that was just reinforced. And, you know, honestly, I just related to him so much, so much more, not only as a human be a human being, but also as an actor. You know, the fact that he was truly a performer. He wasn't just a comedian. Right.
He was a performer. And even in the broadest of movies, you know, even in films like The Great Outdoors, he was still able to inject humanity and inject a little bit of his own history and his own human experience into those roles. Did you interview your dad for it? I did, yeah. I did.
Yeah. The easiest one I did. Is that the first time you've ever done that? First time I had done that. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. It was the easiest one to do because I didn't really care if I made him uncomfortable. Had you already heard the stories, though? Or did you? No, I was not prepared for a lot of the stuff that he had spoken to.
You sort of go into every interview and you sort of have a broad sort of framework of what you hope the interview subject will speak on. Yes.
But I wasn't really sure exactly what kind of stories he was going to tell. Did you do all the interviews? I did all that I could. There were some that I was unavailable for. Steve Martin, I did.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The moment where.
Okay. In this documentary, where what he found. Um a script? Of planes, trains, and automobiles, or something.
So that's the Steve Martin documentary. That's the Steve Martin documentary. Yeah, which is interesting. I apologize. No, no, no, no, no.
It's okay. No, but what's interesting about that is: you know, I had heard about this infamous monologue that John's character gives in the train station at the end of the film. And we were able to actually track down the scene. And it's an incredible performance. Like, it's really a beautiful performance.
And yet, at the same time, I know exactly why they cut it. You know, there was no reason to include that big of a weight when it was so much more efficient to just cut right to the chase. And have the scene be the way it is in the final product.
So that was a real treat. And getting all of the old improv.
Well, the SCTV stuff was amazing. Just discovering a bunch of stuff that I had not seen. I had not seen the yellow belly sketch. Um where John Candy shoots a kid in the back. Um uh but you know we also tracked down uh some improv uh that John did with Catherine O'Hara during uh Home Alone.
Which was pretty incredible as well. Which a little bit of that made the funnel cut of our movie. And it's called John Candy, I Like Me available now for streaming on Prime Video. I hope you get all the nominations and awards that you deserve for this. I know this is a labor of love for you.
You've been on this. Long time. Caper for time. Speaking of Capers that you've been on for a while, you've been on this show now for 11 years. Oh, yeah.
You're one of our, yeah, and the old show as well.
So, but you did, this came out of like nowhere the first time you came on. A tradition in your household of watching NFL games or who knows, even CFL games with your dad? Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, there's probably been one.
Well, you told a story about going to a CFL game with Martin Short, right? Yes.
Yeah. A Gray Cup match. Yeah. Regina, Saskatchewan. Ladies and gentlemen, so what's the genifice?
Go forward. Tell the genesis. The genesis of this is: I was sitting around one day with my dad. We were watching a football game. And um My dad took one look at the head coach.
I believe the head coach was, um, Charlie Weiss was the first one.
So he was actually, it was a college game. College game. Notre Dame. Yeah. And he said, I wonder what he's like as a stepdad.
And then We sort of ripped on that for a bit. And then there was another game that we watched not too long after that. And Tom Coughlin came on. Oh, boy. And then the tradition was born.
And now you've brought it here to this program. And I've brought it to this program. I try to bring it every single time I'm here. I want to just say, it brings me so much joy that we have this. And I have gratitude every time you ask because it really is truly fun to be part of a tradition here at the Rich Eyes and actually, and it's funny, yesterday I just texted you.
I'm like, do you want to run it back? And you then texted me a GIF uh of Tradition from Fiddler on the Roof. Yes, of course. And I had no idea there was any Fiddler on the Roof gifts out there at all? Gifts for everything.
Topaled gifts. Topaled. Words I've never said before. Zero Mostel. All right.
So we've got six individuals that we were wondering who they were like as a stepdad. Yes.
Colin Hanks, first up is the head coach, the. the irascible and sometimes very um I guess um Prickly? Prickly, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Nick Siriani.
Okay, Nick Siriani. Can we get a photo of Nick Siriani? There we go, right there.
Now, this is a little bit photo-specific, so forgive me, radio listeners at home. But in this photograph, he's got his arms up. And uh And It's as if he's saying this, but I feel that this is what he would say all the time as a stepfather. What are we doing? What are we doing?
And it could be accusatory: like, what are we doing here? Yeah. What are we doing? Or you got some friends over, he comes in, says, Hey, buddies, what are we doing? And I'll tell you what we're doing, Step Dad.
We're playing Settlers of Catan. And I don't know what you're doing, but you can. You can just get out of my room. I do have a feeling that if I had to choose one or the other, it would be the sort of like, what are we doing? What are we doing?
What are we doing here? What are we doing? This is a waste of time. What are we doing? Now we're going to go to the other side of the state where Mike McCarthy is now the head coach of the Steelers.
What do you make of him? Oh, well, Mike, you know, it's funny that he's a head coach because I think as a stepfather, he would say, well, that's not up to me. Which is not the same as, like, go ask your mother, like, bitterly, like, go ask your mother. He's just saying he's accepted, like, that's not up to me. Hey, are we eating Italian tonight?
Oh, that's not up to me. Hey, are we all going in the same car? That's not up to me. Is that what you're wearing to the press conference as the announcer to be the head coach of the Steelers?
Well, that's not up to you. It doesn't look like that was up to you. No, it doesn't look like that. He's wearing the Steelers' top. Which is odd because he's a head coach.
You think he makes all the decisions. Correct. All right. Next up is the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Ben Johnson.
What would he be like? Ben Johnson. Okay, this photo fascinates me because this is all about the intonation of what it is that he's saying.
Okay. Yes.
Okay. Now, in this photograph, he has got his headset on, he's got his hat on, and he's got his arms crossed, right? And it looks like he's saying. And Yeah. Yeah.
And and you expect me to pay for that? And and you thought that was a good idea? But his face Says the same thing. but just a little bit softer. Yeah.
And And that hurt your feelings, didn't it? You felt bad after you did that, didn't you, buddy? Yeah. So it's this very sort of leading the witness kind of stance, both the negative and the positive. Oh, my gosh.
Fantastic. Oh, my. That is. Oh, my God. Oh, my.
Yeah. Because he. He had an interesting press conference moment the other day. All right. Our last three were kind of veering out of the usual with the last three.
Because this one is of a shirtless Sean McVay with his wife. Um And uh they're on vacation. It looks like they're on the French Riviera to me. Look, what what what does this say to you? This one's challenging because just by the mere premise of what it is that we're talking about, you are then implying that that's my mom.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Which yes. I honestly don't know how to respond to that.
So I'm just going to leave that one as is. I'm just going to leave that out there. But Sean, who we've covered before, by the way. Yeah, we have done this before, but never shirtless. But never shirtless like this.
I think Sean's the kind of stepfather that whatever you ask him, whatever the response is always 100%. 100%. Hey. Hey, are we going out on the boat today? 100%.
100%. Yeah. Are you having a good time? 100%. Hey, can you pick me up from camp today?
100%, buddy. Gotcha. 100%. 100%. And in a moment of crisis, would probably resort to Hundo P as a response.
as well. Last two, since this whole endeavor was inspired by a college head coach from the state of Indiana, we're going with Indiana national champion head coach Kurt Signetti. What's he like? This one is actually my favorite. This one is my favorite because based on this photo, he's looking off, his eyebrows raised a little bit, which is one of my favorite moves.
And I think he's the kind of father that just is always constantly going, when? When are the Stewarts coming over? And wait, w w w when do you want me to go pick up the Chinese food? Hey, uh uh honey? Honey, what time do you want me to start the grill?
When He's just never sure of what When he's supposed to do whatever it is he's agreed to do, so he just wants the confirmation. Wind? Oh, okay. Yeah. Sure.
On occasion he'll bristle at not getting the when on uh well, yeah, of course.
Well, look, if you want if you want me to do something, you gotta tell me when you expect it to be done. And we've never gone into the ownership suite before. Dabber. And then we finish up the what's this individual like as a stepdad, one Thomas Edward Brady. In this photograph where he's dressed up like, you know, I give you the floor on this one.
I mean, this one is multipurpose. It could be used in so many different cases. In this particular photo, I think as a stepfather, he'd just say, So what? Hi!
So what? Yeah, I'm wearing a leather jacket. I'm your stepdad, so what? What are you going to do about it? Do your job.
You know, because he's just the same thing. He does look like he's in his profits outfit right there.
So, what are you going to do about it? Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, Colin Hanks with another rousing. Edition of those were fun ones. They are best yet. I think it's the best yet.
