So I got to go and spend a whole day with Jerry Jones. I don't have time to have a bad time. It isn't on my schedule. The Rich Eisen Show. Earlier on the show, co-host of NFL Stock Exchange, Trevor Sycama.
Marstool Sports Host, Brandon Walker. Coming up, comedian Howie Mandel. And now, sitting in for Rich, it's Bobby Bones. I'm Bobby. Thank you for putting up with me.
I also never like when guest hosts are here, so thanks. And Rich will be back soon. I love Rich Eisen. I'm not him. I'm sorry.
But I'm Bobby Bones. 844-204-RICH is our number. I do want to go over and talk to Kayson in Fort Worth. We want to do a Panthers win-loss.
Okay. I think this will be fun. I got into the Panthers last season a little bit.
So, Kaysen, welcome to the show. Hey, what's up, guys? What's up, brother? We are here for you. Would you like to do win-loss?
Yes, sir. All right, let's get her up. Here we go. Week one. At home against the Bears.
You know, I don't like having to go against Ben Johnson. Second year with the Bears to open the season, so I got us for the lost bear. Oh, God. Week 2 going to Atlanta. You know, with the QB dilemma going on between Tua and Pennex, I got us having a win there.
Week three going to Cleveland. Man, we're just better than them. That's a dub all day. Yeah, I can't even argue with that. Week four, you're at home against the Lions.
That's a roster mismatch, you know, with Jameer, Amon Raw, and that defense. I mean, that's that's a L. Two and two. We got a buy-in five. Week six, we're going to Philadelphia.
Same reason as the Lions. I mean, man, they're just stacked, and I don't think we're ready for that kind of game. I'm going to give that as an L also. Two, three, three.
Alright, you're gonna be at home versus Tampa Bay week 7.
Alright, that's a win. Uh I think w you know, we just improved so much. Um and the Bucks kind of you know they lost Levante David, so. I'm just confident against the Bucs this year. We're back to 500.
We're back at fight and weight. Here we go. To week eight, you're going to Lambeau and the Green Bay Packers. You know, we upset them last year. I think we're going to do it again this year.
That's a dub.
Okay. Wow. I love it. All right. Week nine.
You are at home against the Broncos. You know, I'm glad it's at home, but that defense is still just too good. I'm going to give that one to the Broncos. All right, we're 4-4. Let's go to week 10.
You're going to New Orleans. Uh I got that as a win. I think Saints is going to be our biggest competition, but I just like our team better this year. 5-4, week 11. You're at home against Baltimore.
That's another one. Like, you know, the Eagles, Lions, I think is just a mismatch with the roster. I'm going to give that one to the Ravens. Yeah, you're living 500. You're living 500.
We got to make it move one way or the other here. Here we go. Week 12, we are going to Tampa Bay. Yeah, we're gonna sweep Tampa. I got a dub there.
At Minnesota, week 13. You know, I don't think Tyler's the guy. I'm going to give us the win on that one. We got seven. We're seven and five right now.
We're trending to the playoffs. We're at home against the Saints. I think we're gonna sweep the Saints. I got that one also. We're piling them up now.
Super Bowl, here we come. All right, week 15 at home against Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, I'm trying to If Burrough's healthy I've got to go off of that. If he's healthy all year, I'm going to say the Bengals. I mean, offense is just.
Too strong. I don't think we'll be able to keep up in a shootout against them. Going to Pittsburgh week 16. I ain't scared of A-Rod, man. He's too old.
I got to W on that. Week 17, you are at home against Seattle. You know, they just won the Super Bowl. I gotta say, that's a loss, unfortunately. All right, final week 18.
You're at home against Atlanta. I think we're going to sweep the whole division. We're going to win every game. I got us beating the Falcons. He got 10 and 7?
You have 10? I'm 10 and 7.
Okay, the Carolina Panthers, according to Kaysen, will go 10 and 7. How do you feel about the old quarterback situation there? I think Bryce is becoming more of a I've been seeing it in some film at practice or just videos that you see online. He looks like he's becoming more of a leader I think Dave Canalis is kind of building up his confidence, especially after winning the division last year.
So, second year with Ted McMillan, you know, with some of our other receivers that we got, I'm confident this is probably going to be his best year. And hopefully he'll earn himself a contract. Case, I really appreciate the call. I hope the Panthers do well. I was rooting for the Panthers last year, I'll do the same this year.
All right, see you, buddy. It's like a movie when they don't say bye. Yeah, in a movie. He was.
Sometimes Del Tuvo's real quick with the bad boy. Once you say bye.
Well, I watch a lot of movies where they don't say bye. You don't get that challenge. I'm done. I'm out. I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't change. I've embarrassed us all. I've embarrassed Rich.
That's all Mike. Never being invited back.
Okay, here's what I have. I have the top 10 fan bases that I feel that I would like to see win a Super Bowl.
Now, this is me, and this is about fan bases. This is nothing more. Like, I root for fan bases too because they haven't had it in a while. And number 10 says, Well, let's give it. Oh, we got a song.
All right, sorry, sorry. Production value, Bob. Let's go. Look at them. Wow.
Thank you. Our ranking! Oh, man. I'm not used to all the bells and whistles, guys. Yeah, we got those for you, baby.
And that was a really awesome bell and whistle. I'll be honest. And I'm sorry we outed you with Superman. I know you were still trying to keep that coach investment. That was great.
I kind of want to have that take home with you over and over to myself at home in the bed. At number 10, I have, well, Casey, the Carolina Panthers. Woo! They've gotten there twice. They lost both times.
It's been a while. I mean, Cam Newton was the dude, right? And that's the last time I feel like they really felt like they could win it. I'd like for Panther fans to actually get the ending that they hope to have gotten in 2015.
So, at number 10 on my list of fan bases, I'm rooting for, I have the Carolina Panthers.
Now, in the same vein, because to me, they feel like around the same era team as the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jaguars. Who never made a Super Bowl, but constantly treated like one of the Little Brother franchises, but it's because they're new-ish and they haven't made a Super Bowl. That's Little Brother. I mean, and are they Jacksonville or are they London?
You know, bruv. Getting close. I know. Relocation jokes. You know, I just want those fans to.
to feel like they belong. And I don't feel like they feel like it's like me. I was moving all over. We had to move a lot as a kid. I feel like Jacksonville fans, where do we go to the game this week?
London? The stadium? Munich? Yes. Who knows?
Yep, it says a lot about you, Bobby. I don't know. You want other people to be happy. Yeah, yeah. Number eight: the Houston Texans.
Ooh.
Now, they're a relatively young franchise, so I don't have in my heart the man, they haven't had it in a long time, but Houston. Shoutout is a football city. Yes, sir. They don't They don't have the long-term love with the Texans, but they do have the long-term love for football because of the Oilers. Houston's a football city.
The Texans have never reached the Super Bowl, and so because Houston is a football city. Boy, they have terrible traffic, though. Like, almost always didn't want to put them on the list because they're just driving there. And Enron, those two things kept me from wanting to put them on there. And the Astros being, you know, forever playing the.
I have a lot of reasons not to, is my point. But they're a football city. All right. At seven, the Chargers. Everybody makes fun of the Chargers.
Are the Chargers just chargering? You know, that's what happens when they kind of blow it. Um. You know? The Chargers, they have a cool logo, and I like that.
And I think that I'd like for them to at least get deep enough in the playoffs for us to go Justin Herbert as the dude and stop with the Chargers jokes. They have a great coach. They have a really good quarterback. And, man, the coolest starter pullover back in the day, though. Was the charger starter pullover?
I didn't even. I even know the Chargers. I'd play Tecmobol and get a couple of those guys. I wasn't a Charger fan, but they had the coolest starter pullover back in the day. They may be the coolest uniforms in the whole national football league.
Number 60, Atlanta Falcons. I'm just going to say this. 28 to 3. I mean that's the whole explanation here. Uh that's That you ever have Robotusin?
Okay, like non-flavored. Do you know how bad that tastes? Oh, and yeah, I know how bad it tastes and how bad it's cherries. Yeah, yeah. Robitussin is that game to me for them.
Took it away. Like, they need a new taste. Their taste is just robot. They've been robotussining it since they lost 28 to 3. Robitusson.
You know, a spoonful of sugar will make that medicine go down. And the sugar is the Super Bowl. I need them to win one for that.
Okay. Number five, Cincinnati Bengals. They've had three Super Bowl appearances. I remember watching Boomer Size and lose, I believe, to the 49ers when I was a kid. And that was my guy because he was a left-handed quarterback.
And as a kid, I was a left-handed quarterback. And being in Arkansas, we didn't have a team, so I adopted the Bengals. And I love the Bengals because they had Boomer. And they had Icky Woods. But Boomer first, because I was left-handed.
Fun fact: I'm inducting Boomer into the Radio Hall of Fame coming up in October. Nice. I was inducted in like 2017. No Flex, youngest member ever inducted. No Flex.
Congratulations. I'm inducting Boomer Syson in, and he was my favorite all-time player. And that's cool to me to be able to induct my favorite all-time player in. Hmm. Cincinnati.
And they just got like a outdoor Practice covered practice facility, which is finally nice. I think they were just playing in the parking lot for a while. Yeah, like practicing. Just go out, clear the car, don't have practice. Yeah, it's fault.
Number four, the Vikings.
Now They are a junior varsity Buffalo Bills when it comes to losing the Super Bowls.
Now, Buffalo had all happened bam, bam, bam, bam, which is crazy to think about. Four in a row, yeah. I mean, the Vikings have been to four Super Bowls and lost all four.
Now, they haven't been back in my lifetime, so I don't even know them being a Super Bowl team because the last time they went was 76. They have also found about, I don't know, 70 ways to break their fans' hearts. And I can relate. To that, of my teams. Like they can get close and just find a way to rip that organ out of you.
Not that organ, but uh the chest organ. Not that yeah. All right, Detroit Lions at three. They've never made a Super Bowl. And these are my top 10 fan bases that I root for because I want the fan bases to win.
The lines have never been. Generation Of Detroit Lions fans have just waited. As a lifelong Cubs fan, like, I understand, I understand what it's like to just sit and hope and. I think seeing that city and seeing those long-time, long-term fans win one, that would do good for my heart. It would be like Detroit would have a fun time.
You know what? I bet you they wouldn't burn stuff. I bet they'd go. Yeah, okay. If we won, why don't we build a few houses for the less fortunate?
I think it would be such a movement. You would just see so much altruism and people.
So, yeah, that's what I think about that. Yeah, okay. So, you know how in the Grincha Stole Christmas, like his heart goes and gets bigger? Yes. Like, that's what would happen to me if Detroit won.
Now I'm not a fan of the Lions, but for their fans, doot doot doot, that would happen in my chest. Like I said, it says a lot about that. Number two. Two. And I'm gonna tell you this.
I don't want you guys being mad at me for this one. I don't want you tweeting me or saying you're an idiot. I know I'm an idiot. I know it. There's nobody that knows me being an idiot like me.
Nobody knows you like me. Especially the idiot part. And number two, the fan bases that I would like to see win because they deserve a Super Bowl. The Dallas Cowboys. I knew exactly.
The Dallas Cowboys. I love you, Bobby. Yes. I love this. Hold it up.
I didn't even know, but I knew. I knew. Oh, my God. I know. And I grew up a cowboy.
Hater. Stan, not with our story coming from Art, Kansas. Yes, he was on our 1964 national championship. You should show him love. I do.
And now I do, and I call him right now, and I love it. Name drop. You can call him? Let me. Hey, sure, sure, right after this.
Hey, yeah. Let's just fix it. Hey, sure, right after this. I'll give his number. No problem.
But with him, that team was Jerry Jones, Jimmy Johnson, and Barry Switzer on the Arkansas 64 National Championship team. Here's the thing: as a kid, the Cowboys were always winning. Here's the thing about me: I'm not a winner. And because everybody around me was a Cowboys fan, I could not, like I said, I was over rooting for Boomer and the Bengals. Look, I grew up in Pittsburgh and I decided not to root for the Steelers, so I understand.
They haven't even been to an NFC championship game since a 1995 season. No need to bring that up. But this is why I'm rooting for the fan base. Also, like my best friend Eddie, my friend Steve, they're all like my Texan friends who are rooting for the Cowboys. Also, TJ.
Yeah, TJ, too.
So I think it would be awesome for the NFL, for the lovers and the haters. I just love a story. Right. And if they're good, that's the story. You can't win it in SoulFi, sorry.
Okay, elaborate. He's too close to you? Being an LA guy, Rams guy, I know he. Yeah, trust me. I'm like, no.
They can win it in any other stadium. I do have the Cowboys at two. I know people are going to be. My number one team for the fan base that I would like to see win the Super Bowl. is the Buffalo Bills.
And I think we all universally can have a feeling, like a place in our heart for them and for those fans. First of all, it's just so cold. And it's just so cold. And when it's so cold, I don't know how people live there. You grow up there, I guess.
You blush. You get used to it. What do you really get used to? Not me. And not only that.
To think back to when I was a kid and I didn't really appreciate how hard it was for those fans to lose four in a row, in a row, in a row, in a row. That is insane to think about it as an adult. But to think how good you have to be to get to I can agree with everything you're saying. But play the numbers game. You sh maybe you win one.
To lose four in a row. Think about this. Like, out of those four. The one time that they were the better team was the Giants Super Bowl. Yes, other than that, Washington was the best team in the NFL.
The last two years, the Cowboys were the better team. Doesn't always matter when you get to that game though, and I agree. But also, you're playing four. Just hit me with some statistics. You would think karma and the football gods would give you one.
True, but.
Okay, if any fan base deserves it, if any fan base has been loyal and they've been absolutely insane, even when times were bad, it's Bill's mafia. Yeah, I would love to see them win. They deserve Mike hears it all the time. I'll be honest, ever since I got on the show as a Cowboys fan, the Bills Mafia have been the nicest of any fan base to me. They've offered me to come over and jump on their bandwagon.
I can't do it, but I appreciate it. You want to jump on a table? You chose that bandwagon not to jump on? Of all the bandwagons that you're on? You have too many cars?
You don't have enough garage spots? I didn't want to have bandwagons, Bobby. These are all teams that mean something to my heart, like Penn State and Oregon. I grew up loving these squads. Look at this.
Look at that. Cowboys, Sixers, Ducks, Seminoles, Penguins, Georgetown, Duke, the Clippers, the Mets. You don't have enough spots in your garage to park all those wagons. I got a big garage, though. Yeah.
I don't. I feel it's tandem park. That's one of those MTV cribs. Yeah, I wish. And then you find out after that that they rented those out.
That wasn't even their crib. It was really the realest crib was Red Man. You remember Red Man's crib? I don't remember. Oh, he was living like someone who, like, if you wanted to ring the doorbell, you had to take two wires and rub them together.
Oh, really? He was living in the cut back in the day. Are you sure, though, that that was real too? Because I could also see someone playing it the opposite way.
Well, Bobby, I'm winking at you. Wait, Cribs was all fake? A lot of it. We're just finding that out now. I know.
It's almost like the TF, the tooth. You know what I mean? Then you find out later, and you're like, what? That whole thing? The cribs was most mostly fake.
Hmm. They rented houses. Borrowed. I would say Cribs as someone who worked at MTV back in the day. It wasn't mostly fake.
It was a lot of it was fake, but there were some people, those are generally their spots. If it's a lot, though, it's mostly. If you're fooling me a lot, I feel like that's mostly. It's not 100% on the up and up, so I guess I see what you're saying. I want to bring.

The Ridge Iser Show Podcast. Same time as the TV.
So we're on TV just in Disney Plus. Then it cuts back to all the national affiliates and radio.
Now I'm on something different.
Now we're on, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm on radio now? And now you're on Victrolas all over America, too. Oh, so you wanted to wait till we were on radio before you explained how you see color. Thank you.
Here's how I see color. By the way, Bobby Bones in for Rich Eisen's, Howie Mandel. This is one of my favorite people in all of. Famous people. All of this room.
All of famous people. All of this room. So my right eye gets 8% vision period. Never had a good working eye.
So I'm already working. Do you have 8% vision? Right eye doesn't work.
So I'm working from a detriment. But I don't know the difference because I was born. Do you drive? Yeah, don't ask that. Don't ask that publicly.
Oh, why? Is that a bad thing?
Well, I mean, I take that driver's test and I move this eye over to the other side. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, publicly, you could have just said yes. Publicly, for you to tell me how you cheated on the test, that's the problem. That's right up there with explaining to you how much color I respect you on radio. I will go to jail and lose my license for this segment. It's probably going to happen.
Oh, really? Yeah. And so, here's the problem. I have good vision, and I can't drive. I have Elon takes me everywhere.
Because these cars here go automatically, right? These cars here? These cars here. You don't have cars where you come from?
Well, in Nashville, the only thing that we have are not Elon. They're the Waymo's. Don't they go with Auto Rabbit? Yeah, but it's not Elon. Waymo.
Waymo. I love Waymo. Waymo's cool. Waymo is cool. But I've been told not to take Waymo anymore.
Why? Because I found it fascinating that you're in this car with no driver, but you can, if you need service, you know, you can press a button and there's a service call center that will talk to you.
So I thought it was funny to press the service call center and they said, Oh, Mr. Mandel, can we help you? I said, Yes, I just made a poo-poo. And how did they help you? Oh, they did way more than I wanted them to do.
I'm going to stand up for that one. No, I wasn't saving up for that. That's just. I'm standing up for that. Oh, you're standing up for that.
Do you have a- For a dyslexic, that would have been great. I got a standing ovation behind me. Ha ha ha. Oh look, Michael Kane's here. Do you have a Tesla?
Hi cocaine. Do I have a what? Tesla? Yes, that's why I said Elon drive. You read the thought Elon Musk comes to my house.
I'm going to go do Bobby Bones today. Elon. Elon, please come here. Get me here. Get me here.
No, yes, I have. You have to self-drive fully? Fully self-drive. Fully self-drive. And this is the thing.
It's the only, all my life I liked cars and I liked buying different cars and stuff. And my wife won't let me anymore because I crash cars. I'm not, I don't have a good, I don't focus. I took flying lessons. I wanted to be a pilot and in mid-air the my pilot, my flying instructor said, don't do this anymore.
So you crashed a lot of cars and thought flying would be the next best thing to do? I don't when you when you say it out loud, it sounds stupid. But yes, I try everything. There's nothing I won't do.
So my wife let me drive a t not let me lets me have a like uh feels comfortable if I'm in a Tesla and I press work or if uh if it's gonna like even the fi you know what's great about it? I don't I forget where I park all the time, but you can summon it. Yes. You know that? I had one.
So I'm gonna freak my wife out. Should I p should I press summon now? But if it drives through the window and crashes and to pick you up, that would be a funny bit, but that wouldn't be loved. I think it would stop at the window. They it's really good.
You think though? They're really good. They're really good. Where would you summon it to as we're like in layers of walls?
Well, it doesn't come right to your feet. But I'm saying, how would the joke pay off? We don't see the car. Not everything's a joke, Bob.
Okay, got it. Fair enough. I'm talking about technology. Fair enough. Are you a big AI guy?
Love AI. Yeah. Yeah. As a guy who has no eye. AI is the best use of it.
Now, are you? I have one eye. You have one eye? But I love AI with one eye. Do you like AI?
I love AI. I love AI. I hope. I love technology. I love technology in sports.
I love every time the graphics got better and the ability to call things up and to show things and to show cameras moving right around the field. Like, I don't have to go anywhere. AI is amazing. And especially for a germaphobe. Everyone is thinking.
You know, I'm not here. I'm looking forward to the medicine part of AI really taking over. I think we're going to save a lot of people's lives. Yeah. Well, I think it's already there.
I mean, I think that there have been people. As I speak, who are alive because of AI. I agree with that, and I can't wait for it to be like gen pop used, but all the bugs worked out. You didn't have time to say genuine. Used by the general population.
We don't say that anymore. After like we, after like 92, yeah, we just adopted the word gin pop. Am I that old that you're in a whole different generation and you have a different language to me now? Yeah. I thought that was a music group for a second.
Yeah, never mind. Oh, yeah. Also, Del Tuvo, you're there too. I'm sorry. I know I am.
Howie, I'm not. I'm the oldest one in the room. No, 60? I'm sick. Oh, no way.
You look good now. Oh, do it. Do it. Good. He said you look over 70.
No, I'm not. I want you. I got in trouble last time. I did that. You don't want to do it?
No, I have a thing where I go, you don't. I They thought I got mad at Kelly Rip. I didn't get mad, but I'd say that the only, like at my age, when you go, you're 70. People say you, it's a, it's a, there's no swearing on this, but it's not, it's BS to say I look good because it's I look good for this age because I'm not dead. Got it.
It's like saying you're really smart for a stupid person or you're really tall for a dwarf. You know, as a 70-year-old, like if I told you I was 35, I wouldn't get that same compliment. Yeah, I'd be like, you look like somebody who needed to be saved by AI. Yes. I'm 35.
Yeah, you do look great, though. This is his desk, right? And you're using all his stuff. Best dad ever is not you. Like from Nashville, do you think I flew all this in to sit it here?
No, but I'm saying the fact that you kept that plaque up. I often move it. True story. I often move the plaque to his best dad ever, but I had a baby five months ago. But how can you judge how good you are?
Five months, I can tell you. It's just a meatball pooping its diaper. You're not the best dad ever yet. I would say that there are prodigies. We've in the history of our country, musically, creatively, I am that of a dad.
I'm a prodigy. Really? Yeah, and in five months I can already tell. And it is a sun. It's a daughter.
How do you know? Again, much like anything else. How do you know? It's intrinsic. I just know because, you know, how does an 11-year-old.
What sport can it play?
Well, so she's five months. She can only do three burpees right now, but we're working hard on. On into four. I do try to give her adversity. You say burpees, like a colicky burpee, or an actual.
No, an actual burpee where you go down, touch the ground, do a push-up, get back up. Gen pop. Yeah. Got me. I did tell my wife that my baby is not going to have adversity.
Like, I'm concerned because I grew up. poverty kid, trailer park kid. And I'm not that anymore. Like I have money now. It's crazy.
And so I can buy stuff. And I have a daughter that I have to raise different than that what I was raised. And so I'm like, we need to give adversity. My wife's like, she's only five months old. Adversity.
Adversity to a five-month-old. And I've suggested like a weighted vest for the crib. You know what I did? I did with our, I was really nervous. My kids are grown.
I do a podcast. Howie Mandel does stuff. I watch it. I watch the clips. I've never been invited on, but I watched the clips.
Come on then. No, this is not a real invite. This is a Hollywood invite. I don't do this. A Hollywood invite.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like an invite. Would you like to come on? No, no, but do you know what a Hollywood invite is? Yeah, because you mentioned it, I felt guilty. Yes.
And therefore, I'm being honest with you. This is a Hollywood invite. Did you know you invited me twice? Hollywood way? Yeah.
Do you want a third invitation? Maybe by the end of this seven months. Here's another one. Come on the podcast. Oh, cool.
I'd love to. Yeah, we'll talk about it after.
Okay. Okay. Anyway, go ahead.
So I do this podcast with my daughter, and I was so afraid because I only grew up with brothers. I was so afraid of having a daughter and being. I used to talk about this in my act, but From the day she was in diapers, I was thinking, she's gonna date. I'm not gonna be a good. girl dad for a boy coming to take my daughter out.
So, and you still have time to do this. We decided not to potty train her. I'd like to hear more about this. When you have a girl who is not potty trained, it doesn't matter who dates her, she's always home early. Interesting.
Yeah. Whoever takes her out drives her right home and cracks a window and goes, whoo. You're going home. I've heard a lot of parenting theories. I've heard a lot of parenting theories.
I've read a lot of parenting books. I haven't got to that yet.
So I'm going to. Is that like, do you have IP on that? Is that your? That's I poo. Oh, you have I poo on that.
Yes. All right. You have a question. No, not anymore. I'm just going to hang out.
Have you been watching America's Got Talent? I have not.
Now, let me tell you. Oh, then I'm at. You know, you could have given me a Hollywood answer and I never miss an episode. No, no. You know why?
Can I just say something? No, no, let me say something. Wait a minute. We're going to be on another radio program. I watch the clips.
I'm a clip watcher. My question was: does that count? I'm not the one that collects the things and gives the rewards for what to count for what? I don't have the authority to move you into a bonus round if that's what you're asking. You said, Do you watch America's Got Talent?
I said no. And before I could get a breath out to say, but I watch it in clips, the performers, that's when you attack. Did you watch Nene? Which one? This one, Nene?
That would be a no. I'm asking which one it is. She's a 16-year-old girl from Thailand who is as good, if not better, than Hendrix ever was. Oh, no. Who is an amazing singer?
Oh, no. No, no. Tell me more. The biggest, most viral thing on the internet right now. I would imagine this is the biggest year that we are going to have.
This is going to launch. I say this. If you could think of one name in all GT history, and when I say GT got talent, so that's America's Got Talent, Thailand's Got Talent, Britain's Got Talent, all the Got Talent, we're the biggest format in the world. What's one name that popped out globally? Up until now.
Um, I would say, oh, uh, the uh the her that sang and she was older and then uh Susan Boyle. Thank you. Okay, so you got this is twice Susan Boyle. Wow. And this is global.
Not only is it twice Susan Boyle, even though you know Susan Boyle, I can't see you going to a Susan Boyle concert. We dated for a while, Badzo. But so you're backstage, but I'm talking about a ticket buyer. Fair enough. Nene Royale.
You will remember that name. Remember that name. Did anybody see who I'm talking about? Just lie, guys. I learned a hurry.
Just lie.
So the girl, the lady over there, did you see it? You know who I'm talking about? We don't have the apparently they don't have the technology to play a clip of this. Is she the one that played Black Hole Sun? Pardon me?
Did she play Black Hole Sun? Yes. Okay, I did. Yeah. Yes, yes, yes.
Was she the one that got the golden buzzer? She got a golden buzzer from Mel B this week. Yeah, I saw that.
So, where have you been the last two minutes? No, I lied. I just Googled you. Oh, I just wanted to be a part of that. I just want to be part of the conversation.
If you want to call me out, it'd have been like cohesive. No, it was very Hollywood. A friend of mine is the casting producer, so he tells me producer of what? For America's Got Talent. Who's that?
His name's John Pier Marini. I know John. Yeah, he's an old friend of mine. Yeah. TJ knows everybody, Howie.
Well, you didn't know Nene. True. I had to remind myself. But the world is going to know that name. I'm telling you, and you know, listen, people come on these shows and they want to promote things.
This year, I've been on America's Got Talent now for like. 16 years. I'm the oldest. I'm the oldest and the longest running judge. But I have never in the history of my tenure.
On America's Got Talent, seen anything that is more viral. More electric, more exciting than what is happening this year. I'm telling you, like it lit up in Times Square. She had, I don't know if you know this, but one of the publicists is here. On my way to work the other day, on the 101, people were flying flags support Nene on the freeway.
I'm telling you that. When she played the first time, How quickly did the audience react? Amazing. She came on as this shy in the auditions. She came on as this shy little 16 wearing like a party dress, you know, and she was carrying a guitar and she was very shy and quiet.
And then she hit the first chord and screamed. And it was like the most amazing, surprising, wonderful thing. But I don't think anybody knew how much that was going to grab the audience.
So much so that we didn't even know how far she might go. And she ended up in my the we did. We changed up the season this year. They had something called judge callbacks. We go to these deliberations in the middle where we have to narrow down all the people that we said yes to, all the acts we said yes to, to 40 or 44.
I can't remember what the exact 44. 44. 44 acts, you know, and we probably said yes to like 150 acts. We have to narrow that.
So we really legitimately, you know, bump heads. What are you showing me? There's a picture of something?
Well, that's the middle round. They're showing us all the people. And then Simon came up with this idea where he said, you know what? If you really believe, if we're not all in sync, if you really believe, grab five or six people. Take them If you want to take them home, take them to your place.
I take them to I took her uh them to uh my offices where I where I do my my podcast, Towie Mandel Desta. I took them to my offices and we have a live band there, Sonny and the Blackpack, and I and then my friends own a uh uh the Laugh Factory. And I said in front of an audience where we could give them like Little tips or constructive criticism or whatever, and then make a decision of who's moving forward. And Nene came played at the Laugh Factory in front of me and Nikki Glazer and just blew the roof off the place. And now she's every time we see her, it's that much better.
This is going to be a huge star. I'm not promoting. I'm. I'm Professing that this is, I'm telling you, this is the biggest, most exciting thing I've ever seen, I've ever been part of. Like prodigal or practicable?
Like uh She's only sixteen. She told me she got a guitar when she was seven. People who don't even like this type of music are going, Wow. I've never seen anything like this in my life. I've never seen any you if you're sitting listening to the radio right now, like just go to your Instagram, look at Nene Royale, look at AGT.
It's the biggest thing. She's gotten within, I know even on the callbacks. After that aired on YouTube, she had like 47 million clicks in the first hour. Hundreds of millions. Nothing is bigger right now on the internet than Nay Ney Royale.
And it's from AGT. Do spell nene there real quick. N-E-N-E? N-A-E. N-E-N-E Royale.
Royal. Howie Mandel from America's Got Talent. And where's the camera? Howie Mandel does stuff. Oh, thank you.

All right, we have Howie Mandel on, everybody, back on TV and radio.
Hey, we're back on both. We're all together. We're back on the radio now. Both through TV and the radio. We're back on the radio, all over the country.
Wow. It's crazy. I love it. Look around. Look where you are.
For the radio viewers, is this eczema? There's no such thing as radio viewers. I don't mean to be that guy, but that's not a thing. Wow. Yeah, there's TV viewers, and radio listeners, and podcast listeners.
And if you like podcasts, you should check out how does stuff. Facts from you. Yeah. Thank you. Question.
Best dad ever. Go ahead. What? What's the richest thing, but I'm just it now. No, but you, I know, five months.
Filling in for being best dad ever. That's why. Go ahead. You're still doing comedy. 'Cause I saw you at a couple of shows.
Yeah. Yeah. I still stand-up comedy is my mainstay. Stand-up comedy is what I do. Stand-up comedy is where I live.
Stand-up comedy got me everything I have. And if when everything goes away, I will always have stand-up comedy.
So I'm always touring. And when I'm not touring and I'm in town, I'm here. Every week, at you know, if I got a night off, I'll end up at the Laugh Factory, the improv, or the comedy store. You'll just go and practice material? Yeah.
They're great, Howie Mandel. Yeah, that and that's how I like to be introduced. Yeah. Yes, the great Howie Mandel. You know, if you go to the comedy store any given night, I think I'm there next Wednesday, it's everybody.
You could see Sebastian, Manascalco, you could see who else is there when I'm there? Leno, Arsinio, Chappelle drops in. Like anybody at any of those clubs, that's how you do it. That's how you do comedy. Yeah, but not to practice.
The great Howie Mando. What? The great Howie Mando. Yeah, but sometimes I'll show up with things that I don't know are great. And then I find out they're not great.
So I won't do that to the real paying customer who goes to a Howie Mandel concert. How do I know?
Sometimes it feels funny on the inside, and then it comes out, and it's not what I thought. Like I thought I'd be a great pilot. And I wasn't. They told you to stop. I'm not even a good passenger.
I had a couple comedians last week over at my house. Big shot. Leanne Morgan. Are you familiar? Yeah, I like her.
Right? Yeah. Like, so funny. Lady comic who has a big her Netflix special is very funny. And she's on her second season of her Netflix show.
And like, she didn't hit it until I would say what is considered later. She's 60. She's killing it. I think my favorite comedian, other than the great Hallie Mandel, was somebody who came by was Mark Norman. Oh.
Like, he's like next level to me. Like, I laugh out loud. One of my favorites ever. Yes. That's comedy.
Yes. That's his line. That's his catchphrase. He also. It's been on my podcast, Howie Mandel does stuff.
You have a podcast? No. Oh. I was wondering if I was going to do it sometime. See if comics over at your house.
We do the show on the network that I'm not going to mention because I don't want to show off, but I had a guy from Orkin over at mine. Interesting. Does he know Elijah? Yeah, I have people too. You did take me on a tour around your garage, and you have these big boxes that are AI versions of celebrities.
Proto-hologram. It's hologram.
Okay, dude, they're in your garage. Do they ever leave your garage? Garage. They're not in my garage. I have a place like this where, like, Rich has all this stuff that his wife doesn't want him to clutter the house with.
I have a warehouse, and I have all this stuff and tech. I have a lot of tech. I like tech.
So I have this proto-hologram, which is a company that I invested in, but it's not my company. These are the same people, some of the same people that put Tupac at Coachella. And that's old-timey kind of technology, which is called Pepper's Ghost, where you just, like, teleprompter. Like, you know, it's just you. Project on an opaque screen, like the Disneyland, like the haunted house.
And then he figured out a way to do it in a light box.
So you don't have to have the whole place lit. And I could show up, I could be on my iPhone at home and show up in 3D in this room and talk to you like this with no latency in full-size 3D. And that would have been awesome. It is, that would have been awesome had I done that. Yeah.
Well, it would have smelled different in here.
Sorry, I apologize. I wouldn't have felt as belittled sometimes. That smell is I created it during my Waymo ride over. With America's Got Talent, again, that show has been on for so long. There had to be a point where you thought, again, I've seen everything.
Well, yeah, here's what amazes me.
Okay, finish the question. No, I started the answer earlier. Is it mostly younger people that are bringing the new types of entertainment? Meaning. 15, 16, 17-year-olds that are bringing these things that have brand new visions.
Because, you know, obviously in art, it's usually the young that brings out completely new music, styles of music. Or do you ever get like a 70-year-old that's like, hey, check this out, and you've never seen it before? Yes. The beauty of this is there's no barrier of entrance for America's Got Talent. And we've had people close to one hundred years old show up and do something That uh We've never seen Possible.
Especially from somebody that age. By the same token, we will get somebody who's two years old on the stage doing something we've never seen.
So, age, gender, culture, border, country, nothing stands in the way. It's not like any other show on TV. You can have it, it's for absolutely everybody and everything. I'm always amazed. Technology.
People who I get this, I get hit a lot on on online. People who have had careers. People who, you know, a couple of years ago, do you know who Michael Winslow is? The guy that made the sound effects on Police Academy? That's it.
Yeah. So he came on and he competed. I think it's a talent show. It's not an amateur show, it's a talent show. And it's like the U.S.
Open. You know, and yes, there are people who have never done it before, and the barrier or the hurdle has been their life has gotten in the way, they've had some. sickness or they had to raise a family and then they go, I've always wanted to sing or I've always wanted to clog dance and then they show up and they do it. And I love just being there and watch somebody who just has an inkling of an idea or a little hope and their life changes forever. Their life changes and and I don't You know, I believe that talent exists in everyone.
And you have uh talent isn't singing and dancing. Talent is A way of engaging other people that you don't know in kind of a unique, original way. And humans are all unique and original in their own way.
So we see things that you wouldn't even classify as, you know. traditional Talent. You know, there was a guy that came on. Years ago, I remember Howard Stern was one of the judges, and he had his name. I think he came on again and he changed his name, but the first time he was on, he was named Horse.
And his talent was the ability to take shots in his nether region. You could shoot things in the nuts, or shot in the nuts. Or he'd jump off of a ladder and scissor a two by four. Oh, my God. And you'd go, well, what's that talent?
But, you know, he got hired. I think MTV did six episodes with him. It was kind of before Jackass.
So it was like, so that's, he got a career out of that.
So, Howie Mandel is here. We have 20 seconds, so I do want to plug. If you haven't heard, he's got a podcast called Howie Mandel Does Stuff. Mm-hmm. Wear sketchers.
Might as well plug everything. America's got talent. Talent p.m. on NBC. There he is.
The good Howie Mandel. I love him. I love him so much. There he is. Thanks for listening to the Rich Eisen Show Podcast.
