So, listen, I've been holding off talking about it for the first two hours of this show because. you know, I attended a wedding while um we were off. That a lot of people have been asking me about, wanting me to comment about it, wanting me to talk about two people who. gave their vows. and showed their love for one another.
And I you know, listen, Um it's finally time for me to talk about What I saw in the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ladies and gentlemen, the marriage between Chris Brockman and Sarah Tiana with their beautiful boy cage between them. I took every photograph that you're about to see, I took. Oh, nice. Yes, thank you.
This is the wedding I think everyone was referring to. It was the one I was most eagerly anticipating. Outstanding, beautiful affair. Christopher. Beautiful.
I appreciate the up-to-date pictures that was going on.
Okay, now, real quick, the lady in the blue dress who married you is met her maybe my second or third day at Syracuse, freshman year. Her name is Archie, diehard DC sports fan, Redskins Days, Wizards, everything, diehard. And so she's one of my oldest friends, and we've known her a long time. And she's just thought she would be perfect. And that was a big reveal.
Didn't tell any of our friends from the QS that were there that she was going to be involved. And so they were all kind of like. What is going on? Why are you up there? And then, when she started talking, she absolutely killed it.
It couldn't have been better. Uh everything went what Absolutely perfect. I know you as well as I've known you. And I could see when you walked in With your boy, that you were really bubbling beneath the surface. Emotional.
You dressed the same, you got the same suit. Same sneakers. Sneakers. Pretty much exactly the same. Same.
Tie, white shirt, Travis Scott, Jordan Lowe's. The only thing different was the haircut. Um, you know, pretty much. When I was six, I probably had that hair.
Okay, very good. Not so much at 45. Um, and you know, then Sarah walked in and it was on. I was really hoping she was going to have sneakers on. This beautiful little church.
She changed into them later. This little church. This is where Elvis got married? Is that the mother? A lot of celebrities have gotten there.
Elvis, Judy Garland, Billy Bob, and Angelina Jolie got married there.
So, yeah, John Daly, I think I saw. Yeah. Beautiful. Just beautiful. And your vows that you delivered to each other, you know, Sarah, beautiful.
And funny, and you definitely beat her in the tears department. Yeah. Like, I mean, like, it was a rough. It was a, it was a rout. Kind of bucket.
Yeah. Kind of black. A route. A little softy over there. In that department.
You know, with your boy right there. Off tan line. I wasn't going to say it, but you did. You could have evened that out. I could have one hour outside could have taken care of that.
Just beautiful. Yeah. The way that you guys, and then this was the moment. Look at Cage. Oh, look at Cage.
I didn't even notice that. Yeah, Cage. Like, there's a lot of people who are. Cage is like kissing. He's like, oh.
Get a room, you two. Can we have a moment? Good shot. Get a room. That is amazing.
Cage just checking it out. Yeah. Cage is like, Dad, why don't you tell out your tail? Yeah, what did he do? Look at him.
He's just like, oh, you guys are good. There you go. And then I walk outside. And I turn to my right, and there's the three of you. And did you sign a document there?
No, so the way they do it at that place is that you can actually get married by Elvis, I think, a bunch of random people, or you can have someone that you know do it. But so they don't have to go through all the paperwork. After you're done, you go in this little room, and their actual Justice of the Peace does it for you. Oh, so this we were doing that. We had just finished doing that.
I was kidding. I had no idea. You walked by and you were like, hey, I'm like, stay right there because the light was great. Yeah. And I just love this little room.
Yeah. You know, we kind of went in there real quick. And do you? Do you? Yes.
Power vested me, state of Nevada. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. I had no idea.
I thought you were just trying to stay out of the sun because it was blazing hot out there. It was very hot. Thank you all for bearing with that. Yeah. We had just gotten done doing that.
Nope, I did not know that. I did not know. Beautiful. That's some weird right before. All right, now the follow-up question.
Um, hold up, hold up your left hand. The first rich eyes is showing that, baby, on. Look at the reveal. Look at that. Yeah.
It's a ring. First thing I said to him this morning, let me see it. I don't know how you guys do this. Really getting used to it. When after I got married, I just kept banging it on my hair.
I'm doing a lot of twisting.
Okay. Yeah. Just kind of like. Yeah. It's also really weird, just like washing your hands.
Oh, yeah. Just doing anything with it on, lotion. Just kind of like, what? What is this?
Now, all right, and I didn't ask you this off the air. I'm sorry to ask you on the air. 'Cause I I've known you for a long time. You know, it's finally happened. And you know, you were just it would always blow your mind.
Whole idea of doing it It being getting married. You look the same. It looks like you're fine with it. You're good. This is good.
Everything about our lives doesn't change really at all. But it does kind of feel different. Yeah, man. Yeah. It's been a great week.
It was kind of a whirlwind. Look, we were in Vegas for a long time. I know a lot of my friends, you kind of just were in and out. Oh, yeah. Very jealous of that.
We were there more than five days. Wow. Which is, you know. It's amazing you got your shirt on. Three and a half too long, really.
But. It was great. We had a great time. Everyone, all of our friends, you know, we said this during the ceremony. You know, everyone that we asked said yes and came.
And so that really meant a lot.
Okay, buddy. And I know your mom and your dad, your brother, your sister. All the Brockmans and Tianas. It was great to see the whole families together. The Haynes family.
And nobody had a better time. I was telling TJ, nobody loves Vegas more than Cage Brockman. Really? That man loves himself in Vegas. At one point, it was really funny.
I did get a picture of it. I should have sent it back, but. Monday morning, we had all kinds of drinks and snacks for the party bus and just to have. And so me and I guess my adult brother-in-law went up to the cars to get them and we had a kind of a few.
So at one point, Cage was with us, and he was pulling a cooler full of beers through a Vegas casino. And I'm like, this is the first time. Probably won't be the last time that he pulls a cooler full of beer in Vegas. Fantastic.
So he just got this picture of Case just wheeling. It was pretty funny.
Okay. But he, you know. Hey, this is, we got it. We're back on the show.
So we got all week. Yeah. It's fine. I need to see that photograph. Congratulations.
It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Susie and I were honored to have been included. And you spoke at the dinner and you said some very nice things. I meant all of them.
I meant all of them. And I told the story of Chris. Who he used to be and who he is now. Just be that guy who didn't return the Tupperware that Susie gave him. Oh, look at that right there.
This is official right there. Beautiful. I told him all sorts of fun stories. But this is the man I know now, Saratiana. you know, always um An awesome, awesome human as well.
And you guys are a perfect couple. And congrats, man. Thanks. Appreciate it. The last thing I said to him before we went for a break, I was like, man, you used to take naps in the middle of the day.
I know that. Look at him. Again, you're all grossed up. And the relationship between the Rich Eisen Show and Women's Sports Now is now official, which I appreciate.
So no longer living in sin. Amen. Except for a young child dragging a beer. Beer. Yeah, what are you doing?
Through a casino. You got cage under age. It was like a clear through the cage. What's better than that? It was literally perfect.
It is funny as hell.
Okay. I know what's better than that. Overreaction Monday. Hey, hey. That was terrible.
That was crap. That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction. Mondays.
Mondays. All right, Christopher, your first action Monday is a married man. I don't know if you're gonna be heart taky now. I don't know. Is he softer?
Settled down? Is he settled down? Is he softer now? I guess we're about to find a kiss. Guys, this is how you know some things are different.
But some things never change. Justin Herbert is the most overrated quarterback in the NFL. Did you see the list that came out? I saw the list. Jeremy Fowler, every year, talks to execs and scouts and coaches, and he kind of releases them for all 11 positions.
Well, today was quarterbacks. I have a feeling we're going to talk to Jeremy soon about all of this. Justin Herbert. Oh man, ahead of Drake May? What are we doing?
Justin Herbert, the most overrated quarterback in the NFL. Look, you can't just sit here and say how wonderful it is that Drake May's gone from completely unranked in this to. Top 10. Eight. That folks consider him a top 10 quarterback in the National Football League?
Top 10, too low. Um Justin Herbert's skill level. Is still so off the charts. And I test to all 22 test. It's just he hasn't put it together at the most important time.
Yeah, I like the wins test. I understand that. Yeah. Results test. I get it.
Yeah. Results test. Well, I mean, at this point in time, though, he's. He maybe, let's put it this way. He's got one more year of having the physical attributes.
carry him into the top 10 of this regard. How about that? I'll buy that. That's all I'm saying. I don't think he is overrated.
He's just really, really, really good. without any of the results to go with it. And um And that's just, I think that is a... a fair assessment of his career so far. And it's time.
And I think the Chargers are set. In a way that Herbert has not been set yet. Mike McDaniel. The other guys that they have put together. on this team.
I think they're going to be a better offensive team with better results. And And last year, dude? He lost both of his all-world tackles. Come on now. He did.
He did and I was there I called that game Texans versus Chargers Guy had two seconds. Two. It probably goes.
Somebody's in his lap.
So I know that that's caping. Drake May would have killed for that offense. May have been because my son was at Madison Beer's concert in Boston last night. I don't know. I think he's still in the glow of that.
So What else you got over there? All right, one more football topic, and then we go a little hodgepodge. I'm, you know, I'm scrolling, keep an eye on the news. By the way. Zan loves Madison Beer.
Not as much as Taylor Swift.
So, anybody who slags on Travis Kelsey, he's got a problem with.
Now it's Herbert Kelsey. It might be. You just be careful, is all I'm saying. Ted Lightley coming to my house with Herbert Slander. What do we call the beer fans?
You know what I mean? Beers? I don't know. I don't know. We'll find out.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Guys, a team I think we need to start talking about a little bit more. And Tajay Spears is right, TJ.
The Titans are going to win 10-plus games this year. In football? He said they're going to be over 500. I'm doing him one better. 10-plus wins for the type.
I sat next to Robert Sala on Saturday night. Oh, beautiful ball. We took in the Nate Bergatzi performance together. By the way, Ray Romano got up there too. Oh, Ray.
Derek Stroop was on this program just in this chair a couple months ago. Oh, it's a very funny night. Um and um he's excited. Sala is excited. Um But um You know.
I'll just pump a break on it right now. We don't know what the cults are going to be. Jacksonville could have been a one-hit one. They're set. I love Dayball.
I love the addition of Brian Dayball. I love it. And I do think they've got better offensive weapons around. Uh spears.
Now that they obviously went and took Carnell Tape. Right. I'll be out. Offensive British. But ten ten to just suddenly say they're going to be double-digit win team?
Yeah, that's a tall order right now. One or two teams always come out of nowhere every single year. I know that. This could be it. What else you got on it?
You can change the music.
Okay. Change my music. I'm riding high. Last week was the week of Brockman. Yeah.
And I'm gonna Ortiana. Yeah, I'm gonna put this out. Per two.
Okay. You know. The Red Sox are the best team in the American League. Way, what are you talking about? What are we talking about?
The Red Sox are the best team in the American League in the last week and a half. Oh, in the last month.
Okay. Alright. 17-5, last 22 games.
Okay. Who's better than that? Uh nobody. Nobody. I'm excited for you.
I'm excited for your second straight year where you're like, we're done. We're done. What are we doing firing our manager? What are we doing? Last year, it's like, what are we doing?
Trading raft endeavors. Right, what are we doing? And then all of a sudden, something comes out of nowhere. Right? You can't name two players on our team.
What are you talking about? Who wants to? Who cares? It's so irrelevant. You thought about it.
Who wants to? Jim Rice. You just look at the screen right there. Yeah, you don't even know who any of those guys are. Oh, Breo and Yoshida.
All right, maybe those two. Where Jim Rice is. Where ultimate is? Where is he? Where is Rick?
Great question. Not playing baseball. Got it.
Okay. Somewhere in Florida. Very good. Good. All right.
What else? Moving on. All right, moving on. Moving on. This is not going to please Jake, our social media guy, who will be there tonight.
A non-Philly is going to win the Homewood Derby tonight. You know, Bryce Harper and Schwarber involved.
Okay. Dude, anything goes if just 20, it's just basically. The winner is required to take Only 50 swings. Yeah, that's it. All right, I'll take this.
I think this is the first time. I'll take Ben Rice. I mean, Past then I saw was kind of dumping on this, but it keeps him fresh. Huh? These guys were tired swinging for three straight minutes.
Yeah. No, I know. In the last few years. I like the idea. I think it's gonna be better than people think.
Let's do what's more likely. What's the contrary? Hold on a minute. What's more likely? What's more likely?
A Yankee or a Red Sock wins tonight? That'd be a fun little showdown. Oh, Rice vs. Contrarics? Yeah.
Oh, sure. Of course. Sticky. Good sign. Is that it?
Now.
Okay. The World Cup has been all about the superstars, and the stars have been showing out. And so it just seems like we are destined for Mbappe V Messi World Cup final showdown. We're getting it. I don't think that's an overreaction at all.
Isn't that the odds on favorite to see France versus Argentina in the. Certainly since everybody thinks that FIFA wants it. It certainly seems like it. You just, by the way, you called England winning it all because you're like, what would be more of a comeback win than England winning in America's 250 season? Right, right.
Payback for 1776. You know what I mean? Payback. Yeah. Yeah.
That's it. King George. The Redcoats have not only coming, they're finally here. You know what I mean? It would have been perfect if the final was in Philly.
France versus England is a very American Revolution story as well. That's true. All you got to do is just see Hamilton once, and you'll get it. I'm down with that, too. All right, a couple more.
American soccer fans, here's the thing. We just need to accept it. All the gatekeepers just need to accept that the UN's men's team will never be a top eight team in the world. Never. It's not going to happen.
Overreaction. It's just not going to happen. How? How is it going to happen? Because you never know.
It's sports. That's why. You never know. No, they never care about soccer more in all of these other countries than we care about anything else here.
So just accept it. Be happy with getting excited every four years and maybe going to the quarterfinals. Sit here and say, never say never. You can't do it. Not in sports.
You can't do it. You know. I refuse to accept that. All right. Last one.
Yeah. Sinner did it again. Another Wimbledon win back to back. He's going to finish his career with more majors than Alcarez. Oh, so you think I should start talking about getting a point off a story?
That's what I'm talking about. Oh. That's what I'm talking about. I don't know. Alcaraz has just been hurt this year, that's all.
I'm still gunning for him. He may be trying to hide from me. He's ducking you. Yeah. Sinner is already finishing his career as the least Italian-looking man from Italy.
Right? Like every time I see the Italy barb, I'm like, he wait a minute. He is. Huh? That doesn't.
Okay. Can I say such a thing? Sure. I just did. All right, let's take a break.

A film that's in limited theaters and on all digital platforms. Right now, Lou Diamond Phillips is here in this film talking about what it was about for our television audience and for our radio audience that's now just joined. Um you'd mentioned uh the film Training Day and Colors is something that uh in Your character reminds you of the. Yeah, it's the old bull taking the young one under his wing, but in this case, the cop is female. Right.
Donna Namra does an amazing job. And I mean, the entire cast is absolutely beautiful. There are a Nick Stahl, who the TV audience saw in the clip. My old friends Irene Bedard and Kim Guerrero, and I had recommended them for these roles. But.
There are a number of young indigenous actors who are getting their biggest roles to date. In this film, many of them were background artists in Killers of the Flower Moon. And some of them are getting to deliver dialogue for the first time. And I'm so proud of them because they absolutely kill it. It's fantastic.
Well, that's pretty cool. Yeah. That's pretty cool that they get an opportunity in something like that for something like this as well. What do you get the most when people see you? Like you're about to head to an airport and we're done.
When you're walking through an airport and you're walking around, what do you get the most? Riches! Yeah. That's it. Yeah, 40 years of that, dude.
Yeah. Yeah. And everybody thinks they're the first one. Do people sing to you? Do they?
Yeah, mostly people who don't know the words, Tila Bamba, which is fine. La la la la la. Yeah, I got you. You can stop right there. I know where you're going with this.
Right. You know. What was that experience like for you, though? Oh, my goodness.
Well, I mean, what's really interesting is that it's coming up on 40 years.
Next year is the 40-year. I know. I know. We filmed it in 1986. It came out in 87.
I don't know where the time went, you know, until I look in the mirror. And, you know, what's actually really cool, too, is that there's a documentary about to come out called American Pachucco, The Legend of Luis Valdez. And it chronicles Luis's rise from a farmworking family himself, you know, to creating the Teatro Campesino and then writing Zoot Suit. You know, that was a huge hit here, and then went to Broadway, and they didn't understand it. And then that, you know, leading to Love Amba.
And you know there there are um Audition tapes in that that I had never seen. What do you mean? Meaning, me auditioning for the movie. Look at that skinny little kid. I mean, that's ridiculous.
You know, uh uh but it's it's a fantastic film and it and you know, if you if you really want a g a great peek behind the uh the the sort of genesis uh artistically uh of that film, it's it's it's a great one too.
So, um When you got the role, how many credits did you have already in your career? Oh, man, I don't know, a dozen or so. I had started in the Dallas film industry. I was, you know. Doing professional work at the same time I was going to college at the University of Texas at Arlington, had A degree.
I got a degree in theater, but I got my first professional gig when I was 19 in a comedy troupe called the Zero Hour because we would do like these really raunchy, you know, Saturday night live type skits at midnight in punk clubs. And if you weren't funny, they threw things at you.
So not only did it make you good at comedy, it made you quick and agile. Yes, you have a quick, quick move to your left, as well as a great punchline. Indeed. Understood. Yeah.
Oh, interesting. And so, how soon after La Bamba did Young Guns hit you? My first three films in Hollywood were La Bamba, Stand and Deliver, and Young Guns in that order. Wow, God.
So I'm almost out of money. We make La Bamba. It's a low-budget film, made for $6 million. And a negative pickup. It was not destined to be a hit.
It didn't have blockbuster written all over it. I mean, I'm an unknown kid from Texas playing a fairly obscure Mexican-American rocker who was a footnote in Buddy Hawley's obituary. And so it wasn't like, oh my gosh, this one's going to be great guns.
So didn't know what was going to happen with it. I ran out of money in December of 86 because even with three roommates, I only had like $3,000 left because I gave a bunch of money to my mom. And then I landed an episode of Miami Vice. In that episode of Miami Vice called Red Tape, Viggo Mortensen is my partner, and Annette Benning is the girlfriend of the bad guy. No, it's crazy.
And because of that, Eddie Olmos, who had done a Zoot suit with the Valdez brothers, Luis and Danny, knew that I had played Richie. And so he goes, Okay, this kid might turn into something. And he literally writes down a number for me, hands it to me, and goes, Call this number when you get to LA. I'm doing a movie next month. You have to be in it.
That's how I got into Stand and Deliver. You know? And it wasn't until Young Guns, which which came A year later, you know, in 88, we shot in January of 88. Not until I stepped on that set did I go. I've arrived.
Wow. You know, I'm there with Charlie and with Emilio and Kiefer. You know, I mean, guys, I was, you know, looking up to, and you know, I'd seen Dermot and Casey's work, and all of a sudden I was like, oh, I'm the brown Bratpacker. You know, I'm Bratpack Adjacent. What was it like on that set, man?
I can't tell. No, no, dude. No, listen. I mean, we were all like Fight Club? It's like that.
First of all, Charlie Sheen was there. Enough said. Although he's out there burying his soul now. Maybe it's, I don't know, penance or something. But.
thank goodness there were no camera phones and TMZ at the time did not exist. I I mean, come on. We're all guys in our mid twenties, some of us, most of us, are single, out in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Yeah. There's not even one story that you could clean up or anything like that.
Wow. Okay. All right. Okay. So, so.
Emilio is a huge prankster.
Okay. All right. So on the first day of filming, We all get these boxes from 20th Century Fox. And there's a card that said, from your friends at Fox, just want you to know what we really think of you. And he had put cow pies in all of these boxes, Amelia did.
And so it's like, okay, all right, it's on. It's on. Yeah. And a couple of weeks later, and Emilio's, you know, complaining about the fact that he doesn't have a girlfriend. It's so hard for him to date.
He's Emilio Esteves, after all. Yes. And, and, um, We uh and Yan Kifra and I have vowed revenge. Uh uh so uh we're we're sh we're literally shooting on a on a sheep ranch. And so I paid the rancher $100 to rent a sheep for the day.
And, you know, there's a brothel scene in Young Guns. I had them put the sheep in his trailer in a corset and a garter belt and a sign that said, you know, take me a meal, I'm yours. And that's funny enough. But we were out shooting all day in the damn desert, and by the time he got back, the The sheep had eaten the couch and crapped on everything. And so it was even better.
That was memorable. That's the next level. That's the unintended. Cherry on top, if you will. A nice little chip.
Yeah, well, sprinkles. It's like sprinkles. Oh my gosh. Is there any moment where you guys are just acting like you're, you know, you're sowing your oats, if you will, and Jack Palance walks in and he's just like, What the hell is the matter with you guys? Every day.
Oh, my gosh. The day that I met Jack, it would take us like 20 minutes to get propped up because the knives and the guns are this and that. And I'm getting propped up, and it's, you know, it's Mr. Palance's first day, and he comes up, and all he has to do is choose a gun. You know, and the prop guy looks at me, and I want to yell, of course, you know, and I step back, you know, in all deference.
And, you know, Jack, you know, goes through the, you know, takes his time and finally comes up with like this Derringer or whatever, you know, tucks it away. And as he turns, he hadn't even acknowledged me standing there. And, you know, I do, I do my bit. You know, I go on for like two minutes, gushing about what an honor it is to be in a Western with him and what a legend. And I've been a fan for so long.
And he looks at me and he goes, Yes. And walks away.
So, yeah. Yes. But even that, right? No, it was great. If I were you, I'd look around and be like, did anybody else just see that again?
I know. No, no, just the prop guy. Just the prop guy. Yeah. But, you know, obviously it's burned into my memory.
That sounds like that's straight out of, you know, your comedy show that you did to start your career. You know, and then which TV show that you've been a part of are you most proud of? I mean, you see some really good people. No, I've been really fortunate. Right.
You know, I get Longmire a lot. I bet you do. Longmire, you know, especially, you know, I was just in. New Orleans and then, you know, uh there's a Young Guns Reunion, by the way.
Okay. September eleventh at at uh a fan fan expo in Dallas. Who's going? All six of us. For the first time in almost 40 years, all six of us will be at the same fan convention.
In Dallas. It's you, Kiefer. Yeah. Charlie. Charlie.
Emilio. They found Casey. I don't know what refrigerator box they found him in, but Casey's Tyson that way, right? No, no, I love him. I love him dearly.
The guy is, I think, very successful in real estate. All six of you. Running some clubs. Yeah, all six of us. Dermot, yeah, so we're all going to be there.
And they're charging an arm and a leg for the group photo. But hey, once in a lifetime, what?
So, okay. See, now I got to circle back. Um What's the Plan? Like, there's a dinner or something? Like, you gotta know something with six of you, right?
Other than just show up in a oh, no, we're no, we're gonna show up, and and then somebody will lead the charge, and the rest of us will follow. And uh, pies and sheep, we're gonna do something, probably, probably, you know, just to celebrate the good, good old days, you know. That's a cool thing. You must be looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to it, you know, especially, you know, like seeing Casey and Charlie.
I haven't seen Charlie in forever. I've been speaking to Emilio quite a bit because of Young Guns 3, and that is a definite possibility. He has written the script, he's talking to the studio, he would direct it, and hopefully we'll see that happen.
Well, come on now. Let's go. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm hoping that this kind of reaches that tipping point where the studio people finally understand what a fan base there is out there for this film.
Well, I mean, hopefully this September event will show that. Exactly. And then, like, listen, what's old is new again? Exactly. In so many ways.
In so many ways. And you know what I love? Top Gun Maverick. Exactly. You know what I mean?
Or the Bill and Ted. I mean, there's a bunch of these that still have life in them. And I don't think there's a fan convention that I go to that some mid-40s dad doesn't come up with his teenage son and said, I showed him young guns. You know what I mean? It's a generational thing.
And I love it. I don't think that anybody has, you know, Hollywood is a bubble. They live inside a bubble and they don't get out to Real America much. And I think if they literally took the time to quantify the amount of support there is out there, they'd be signing the check already.
Okay, so here's a listen, I know we've just met in person here and you've been on the show a couple of times. I need like a selfie. Yeah. Like, I need one of those. I need to get one of those.
You know, snap it and you send it. And we gotta, I gotta see it. Done deal.
Something like that in Super Bowl. Done deal.
I'll make sure that. And then just to recap, Gangland available now in limited theaters and on all digital platforms. Check it out. Right now, we are at number eight on Fandango. Fantastic.
We are at number 15 on Apple. Number eight on Apple in Canada. I mean, it's going great guns, so to speak. I mean, and the reviews, just a couple of days ago, we read 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is an amazing film.
It is a fantastic film. One of my best roles ever.
Okay, and then in September, the Young Guns cast getting back together for the first time since. Young Guns 2, I'd imagine, right?
Well, yeah, but I mean, Charlie came out to visit on that one, but you know, Dermot and Casey weren't in it.
So, so then Young Guns, since the original Young Guns, yeah, but you know, like I said, where can people go to Dallas, Texas, Dallas, Texas in September? Uh, and uh, yeah, key for us here all the time, so it is, it, it, it, it promises to be fun, okay. Uh, but now there is TMZ and now there are camera posts, so it won't be too much fun. Have your head on a swivel for that, and then uh, lastly, if you see Lou Diamond Phillips, you are not the first person to bring it up. Lovely, don't do it, okay?
Just let the man be, just say hi, and move on. That's what I'm just saying. Uh, thanks for being here, man. You bet, Richard. You got it.

The home run derbies tonight, the Major League Baseball All-Star Games Tuesday. That's great. The NBA, we're all waiting on LeBron, right? We're all waiting on LeBron. I'm not LeBron James.
The Kawhi trades in the freezer. Yeah, we'll see. What's red hot right now is LeBron. In all eyes. can be on LeBron.
I don't think you're going to glean anything from him. Just everybody, keep eyes on Jim Gray, wherever he is. He was sitting next to Mark Davis last night. Oh, is that right? At the Fever Aces.
I mean, because Jim is, I think. Jim's part of the um The Hall of Fame that's out there that Brady, you know, that Brady's part of, and everything like that. Anyway, just keep an eye on Jim.
So, if Jim's flying somewhere, decision two. I'm ready.
So there's lots going on. Philly. You know what I mean? Lots going on. But the bottom line is: Philly, we're all just biding time.
Yeah. We're all just twiddling thumbs. And we've been doing that since. The confetti Mm-hmm. Fell on the Seattle Seahawks and uh What do we call it?
San Francisco Stadium for at least five more days? San Francisco Stadium? Bay Area. San Francisco. Bay Area Stadium.
No, it's Levi. It's back. They've taken it down. Oh, that's right.
SoFi is SoFi. We're back. All right. There's only one place. At any rate, I'm just saying, we're waiting, it's almost there.
It's almost there. And to help pass the time as well. We're bringing back an old staple of this program. Was this the first? Like Repeatable segment we ever came up with?
Ooh, that's a good question. About 11 years ago, I want to say yes. Segment called Four Downs. Four Downs. Listen, I could give you opinions on things.
All the time. But you got to put them in a list. You always got to put them on. It took you a long time to do power rankings, Rich.
Well, I mean, you guys were twisting my arm until I finally did it. I'm just saying, like, you got to come up with ideas and stuff.
So we came up with a segment called Four Downs, where I would give you four opinions of something and. And each one would be a damn. Work for me.
Okay. With the fourth one being the hottest subject of them all. I used to have a hot take plank. I think it's over here. Is the plank still around?
It is. It's right around the corner. But I don't want to get up. My back's still killing me from the American Century Championship. You can go at any time right now.
But that's enough about me.
So, what we're going to do is a four downs for all 32 National Football League teams. All the way up until the beginning of the season. And um The way we're going to order it is in the draft order.
Okay. Which means the first up In four downs. To preview the upcoming National Football League season, presented by Hyundai, is the Las Vegas Raiders. Four downs with Rich. Here we go.
Oh, wow. He got animations and everything. First down. Thank you so much. Back.
Now, that we had. We had Chaz do like 15 years ago, yeah. Yeah, quite fair. All right, first down on the Las Vegas Raiders' upcoming season is what will Ashton Genty's sophomore season look like? Oh.
TJ. I have no idea what it's going to look like. Is it going to be an improvement? Last year, if you had him in fantasy, you're like, what a total flop. And then you look at his numbers and it's you go high register.
Pretty decent. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean? And we're not talking about how his pre-snap stance is anymore or whatever the hell was going on last year.
Hopefully, the offensive line will do better. Yep. And that's all predicated. I think that you're going to see how this is all linked together. With second down, go ahead and hit second down there, Mike, if you want to hit that so much, is Clint Kubiak head coaching material.
I know he's from a coaching family, okay? I get it. And I know where he's been. And I know what he did last year as the offensive coordinator for the.
Now defending champion Seattle Seahawks, but Now he's in charge of a program.
Now he's got, you know, like, look at the people there that he was standing with at his introductory press conference with the GM. I know. How he longed. Everybody. I mean, everybody's in all of fame.
You know what I mean? Oh, where's Plunkett? Is he there too? I mean, you listen. Come on now.
Cannon's there.
Okay. Is he had coaching material or is he not? Is he ready for this moment or is he not? Because there's a ton of big-time decisions he's going to have to make. And that leads to third down.
Third down. How long until Fernando Mendoza can't be won? Exactly. That's it. That's it, right?
Because Kirk Cousins is there, brilliant signing, brilliant. Because if Mendoz is not ready, he's the guy. And who's going to be better at maybe helping Mendoza get ready, even though he knows he's got a last-chance saloon potentially here for the Vegas Raiders to show that he can still do this job? And if he's not going to be there, because Mendoza is going to be. pushed up the depth chart because he's a first overall pick and it's time.
He's got to show somebody else that I'm still a quarterback worthy of your starting job.
So it's just a fascinating. Listen, all the memes of them being in stepbrothers gear is fun and dandy, but when push comes to shoving, it's time to start winning football games or play football games. You know, when do we see Fernando Mendoza? And that is a big-time quarterback room. scenario for Clint Kubiak to negotiate.
I didn't even mention Brock Bowers here. I think he's going to have a nice season, if not definitely a better season than last, hopefully a more healthy season. Tyler Lindebaum being there is another way that you bring a young quarterback forward, having a superb center. And help that run game. Correct.
So all of that's kind of mixed together. And that brings up fourth down. This is the hottest question of them all, man. What's the deal with Max Crosby? Is there still a deal or no deal at all?
And this is now about to be front and center here. Because if the rescinded trade that brought him back to Vegas. still did not handle whatever Everybody felt needed to be handled back at the trade deadline, not the trade deadline, back at the new league year. If that's still simmering, or if that's still relevant. Then, is this guy available in the same way that Micah Parsons was last year?
Now it's not contract related. It's injury related. How healthy is he going to be for training camp? He shows up running around like a deer. you know, um then potentially it's still out there.
Unless... It's not out there anymore at all. And that's about to be front and center. You know? That's about to be front and center.
And so those are my four downs. in relation to the Las Vegas Raiders presented by Hyundai. And get into the Hyundai Getaway Sales Event. Getaway with a deal so right it almost feels wrong. Visit HyundaiUSA.com.
For details.
So you know that that means for uh Tuesday's show. The Jets wore downs with them. But for the Vegas Raiders, man, I think those are the most burning questions involving this. No doubt. No doubt about it.
And Crosby touches on the defensive side of things. But if you're bringing in an offensive coordinator from the defending now champions in Seattle and you got some studs at running back and tight end, how will that look? and what will be done with the quarterback spot. Those are my four downs for the Vegas Raiders. And that wraps up Monday's program.
Chatting in on Tuesday. Thanks for listening to the Rich Eisen Show Podcast. You can watch and listen to The Rich Eisen Show live weekdays from noon to 3 Eastern on ESPN Radio, Disney Plus, and on the ESPN app, The Rich Eisen Show, the podcast.
