Not a whole lot, Rich. I was honors last night. Yeah, man. Honors was spectacular.

It's just a lot of fun. It resorts world. It was new for various reasons.

One, because again, it's in Vegas, so say Penn and Teller can put Roger Goodell in a glass booth and have him be part of a magic trick that leads to Barry Sanders appearing in the glass booth. What? That happened.

Also, I'll be straight up with you. Didn't know this was going to happen. It was kind of a surprise to me. Prince Harry giving away the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Didn't see that one coming.

Really? Didn't see it one coming. He did. It was the first time an acceptance speech for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award started with Prince frigging Harry, which is what Cam Hayward said. Rich, you know who else had no idea? Cam Hayward, because at an after party I was at, I was standing next to him. Which after party was it? Well, Chris and I, tell them about it. Chris, we went to the New Heights party, the Kelsey Brothers podcast.

We went there and it was amazing. I just so happened to be standing next to Chris Long and Cam Hayward. Chris is like, congrats. And Cam's like, I had no idea. I didn't even know. So it was a good night. Yeah, he was pretty shocked.

He was pretty shocked. I also had no idea we're going to flip flop our guests this hour. Are they coming out right now? Bring them out right now.

Let's do it. Bring them out. Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura are here. OK. Gronk and Edelman are still making their way to the set. They were also at the party last night.

So is that right? Which party was this? The New Heights party, yeah. Did Travis show up or did not show up? Jason was there and Mama Kelsey was there. It was a good night. OK. We dropped your name a lot, but don't worry. We know how to act in public.

We represented for you. And I believe Bert just arrived. There he comes. Talent's arriving.

Is that what he's saying? Talent's arriving. It's also funny last night that we had, you know, I, along with Tony Gonzalez, presented the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And what they'll have you do is they'll have you read through a script in the back into a microphone when you're behind and backstage. And so they can hear you read the script first and you read through the script before you get out there.

So you can run through. Sure. And it's at that point in time that I learned who was in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Bert Kreischer, everybody. Good to see you.

You sit whatever you wish to sit, sit, sit wherever you wish. I have not. Oh, this is a love making. This is a Raya moment.

Raya. Gentlemen, gentlemen, last night. Rich, I'm a little drunk. I'm sorry. Are you really still? I am.

No, just started. Okay, sounds good. The boys said last night, if I bring the vodka, we're passing around, we're all drinking. I mean, we did make that.

We did honestly say that. Tom, can you tell me what vodka we're drinking? Give me that heads up. Well, we'd like to surprise you. I forgot, honestly. All right. Rich, this is our vodka.

It's just launching now. Is that right? You're one of the first few people to put your sweet lips to the bottle.

I'm in. Like, we're just going to go straight up. Well, you can do whatever you want. You can put it in a glass.

You can straight to the face. Should we do a shot? I brought cups. I got a cup. There's cups. Oh, you brought a cup. I'm a vodka guy. We need cups.

Yes. I got a cup ready in my pocket. You didn't know your staff was drunks, too? No, I didn't. We were out late last night.

The Super Bowl experience. I don't believe you brought your own shot glasses. We might have some with us. I don't know. Hold on a minute.

You're not supposed to whistle at people. They're giving you other beverages. Here we go. Okay, there you go. Yeah. Okay.

And those are our cups, too. Okay, I'm going to walk around and make drinks. I'd love you to meet Tom Skurra, a big football fan. Big football fan.

Big sports guy. Guys, I'm going to make drinks. I want you guys to get to know each other.

So Bert's going to pour. Well, Tom and I will have a nice conversation. Yes, it's very nice to meet you, Bert. I've been watching you for years.

Thanks for taking care of my guy. Your bear. My bear. Okay, this dude, this is just starting.

Which is what? The vodka thing or do the drinking? Him. He's been going already for a couple of hours. He got off the sauce for a while as he's dropping the weight, right? I lost 45 pounds. You look great, man.

You look amazing. All right. Osos. Okay, two bears. Two bears.

That's four bottles. Yes. Okay, very good. Thank you. Here we go. Thank you so much, Bert. Salud. Cheers to you.

Great to meet you, Tom. I'll just cheers you from far. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Oh, that's a good vodka right there. Whoa. Wow.

That goes down. I just swallowed my zin. Wow. That's not good.

Can you swallow those things? You'll be all right. Well, then I'm going to make a little mixer. How are you guys doing? Amazing, buddy. Amazing, buddy. Amazing. We're having a day. Well, I've seen you guys playing blackjack all week with the boys and Jason Kelsey.

Kelsey killed it. Did he really? He didn't know how much. You know, when someone's like, I don't know, how much did I win? And then they counted out and he's like, wait, what?

Are you serious? Yeah, he had no idea. 40,000.

What? 40,000. He didn't know it. He didn't know.

He was down to 2000 at one time. When we rolled up to the table, he goes, can I borrow six grand? That's the way NFL players talk to regular people. Yeah, and I had a marker for 50 grand and I said, yeah, sure.

And my wife and I got into a fight that night about it. She goes, you don't just give people $6,000. I go, baby, they're elite athletes. I'll give them whatever they want. They can have their way with me if they wanted to. He's good for it.

No, I hope so. Tell that to bigger Mayfield's wife. Shout out to Emily. Yo, we got to split those winnings. He gave her a grand too. So he's just like, well, he thinks it's monopoly money. It's like, no, you still owe the money. The marker isn't like, yeah, we like you. It's a credit line. I don't understand what a marker was.

You didn't? No, he's like, why does it take so long? I'm like, because they're checking with the bank. I didn't realize they go to your bank account. Yeah, they do.

I thought it was like, you just see it in movies. Can I get a marker? And they go, sure. Hey, James Bond over here is figuring it out. So it sounds like Albert Brooks and Lost in America.

You want the nest egg back. You know what I mean? Dude, you know, his name is Albert Einstein. I do know that. Not great, dude.

His brother Bob is still funny. It still works. Yeah, I know.

Still works. Absolutely. Last time we saw you at a Super Bowl, you spent an insane amount of money for tickets. $120,000.

Are we doing that again this year? No way. I learned a very valuable lesson. Yes, cost me six figures. Is that it's not worth it. The game is so much better at home with your own wings. You go to battle when you want to.

No one's taking pictures with you. I'll never do it again. It's a very succinct lesson. You learned.

Not worth it. Do you know what? Last night we go to dinner. Yes, Tom. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Wait a minute. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. Go ahead. So I invited Jonathan Feliciano for the 49ers comes to dinner. Okay.

And it's very like it's an abstract, weird kind of experience. $10,000 a seat. Stop. Yes, Andy Reid's wife was there. You're messing up the story. I'm sorry.

Richard Branson. You just killed the story. I'm sorry. Pretend you didn't hear that.

So, yes, keep going. First of all, everybody is doing their own thing at this dinner. Bert gets up and he goes, I'm going to meet everybody in the restaurant and let them know who I am. And we're like, why? And he's just like, because they should know I'm here.

And I want to know if anyone important is here. And so he's walking around, just like this violin's playing. He's like, is anyone here?

A millionaire? And I'm like, Oh my God. So he walks to every table. And then he's like, and then for his second round, he brings second time, come with two laps.

So we're doing a second lap. And so I bring Jonathan and I'm like, these are like, some of them are older people who do not look. They don't recognize any of us. They're just having a nice time and we're just disrupting it. So these two guys are so many money there. And so I with Jonathan, I go, this is my friend, Jonathan.

He's playing in the Superbowl. Like, you know, and they're like, Oh, and I go, yeah. And then I go like, 49ers, bitch. And then we walk away and this lady is like, staring at me.

Like, what's that all about? And I was like, that's kind of weird, that look from that lady. Then I get back and I was like, yeah, that lady gave us a weird look. And they go, yeah, that's Tammy Reed. That's Andy Reed's wife.

You did not say that yet. She's so much hotter than her curves. She's so hot. We went back and I was like, I hope the next fire is real at the hotel because forget him. I hope they go down. And she was like, no, no, no.

I just hope he doesn't know how to snap the ball. She was the sweetest. Of course. He gave her the full Burt experience.

Oh, yeah. I love your journey, your family's journey. Your husband's an inspiration to all men. I saw him at Players Appreciation Night, Monday night. I just wanted to ask him a couple of questions about, does he take life coaching on?

I would love to have him as a life coach. But then she takes pictures with everybody, right? Everyone's like, I take a picture and she has rings on. She's very sweet.

Then I'm leaving. She's walking from the restroom back in and she goes, oh, can you send me that picture? Can you take my number? You sent me that picture of Burt. I go, what about a picture of me?

She goes, send that one too. Bro, she's hot. Like legit. Legit. Dude, I mean, so you're saying, Tom. Yeah.

Segura. You're saying your first two words to Tammy Reed was 49ers. Bitch.

Yeah, to the table. It wasn't like, hey, bitch. I was like, 49ers, bitch. Like, you know, like, yeah. You're able to come back from that. I was able to recover.

That's the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, I think. I wish, I think I wish death upon my friend to make up. Like, yeah, bro. I hoard him out like the Saudis were gambling on young women. I took him over. I took him over to Richard Branson's table and was like, yeah, well, yeah, this is Illuminati money.

Okay. Cal Williams is not lying. We're a rarefied heir. Whoa, brother. I walked him over. I was like, I sat at some table. I'm like, I'm Burt Kreischer, number two grocery comedian in the world.

I took the shirt off, right? I do the thing. This guy all of a sudden is a businessman, white dude haircut. And I go, thank you with the blackest dude haircut in town.

Thank you. He goes, will that vodka out of your face? Please say that's vodka. Spit it up.

Throw it up. We need to come into the promos. Promos, baby.

Available in Texas, California, and Florida. Yes, sir. Starting in March, TJ has walked off the set. He can't handle it. So tell me about your investment plan, your venture capitalists. And I go, I'm the wrong person to talk. I actually don't know anything about my vodka, but I'm going to introduce you to my business partner. I say business partner, right? I bring over Segura and they're like, you mean Tom Segura? He's your business partner. I go, Tom knows all the things. Tom's like, we have 900 million in investments.

And then everyone's like, can I, can I invest? It works. Yeah. Oh yeah. We have William. What's his name? Let's not even get.

Oh God. Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura here. Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer go deep.

The big game weekend show at MGM. Is Julian Edelman with him? Yes. No way. You know, they've seen Tom Brady naked. Let's get the details.

Everyone, everyone, I got to stop. They don't look at dudes in the shower the way we do. Let's just find out. By the way, you are not wrong.

Athletes are very comfortable with their own nudity. At one point, I'll tell this story. I don't care. I was at an ESPY awards golf tournament once upon a time. And, you know, you had to change after the golf tournament into the interior clothes for the night. And so we were all showering separate stalls and I come out and there's Chris Mullen who I'm from Staten Island, New York. I mean, this is a St. John's.

Yes, I know. I'm starstruck meeting Chris Mullen for the first time. He's completely naked hands, like his arm up here, just having a conversation with me. And I couldn't, he was like Charlie Brown's teacher. Like, I couldn't understand a word he was saying because I'm naked. He's naked.

I'm totally uncomfortable. He's just like, Chris Mullen's got a piece on him. I'm sure there's no way he does it. I didn't see you clock. I will go to my grave telling you that this is the kind of he puts his leg up. It's still, I couldn't tell.

Yeah, I couldn't show her because I was just like, he's standing with his towel over his waist. No, it's really cool meeting you. You don't have a sports show. I would love to, we should have hung up on time.

I'm going to hit the shower real quick. Oh, you were so great against Villanova. You know, I couldn't, I don't know what the hell I was saying.

Yeah, so you're different. Your new vodka right here. We got to get Gronk to do a shot with us.

Top's off world tour for Bird during that. Let's get back to the fun. All right.

Yeah, I already made my money. Come on, let's just have fun. I will take your card and place it over here then.

Thank you. Do we get Gronk on here? Is he coming out?

Do we want to mic him up? Get Gronk over here. Have you, Tommy's never met Gronk. No, I had dinner with Gronk the other night.

Let me tell you something. That dude delivers everything you want Gronk to be. He is, that's, you got to love it about a celebrity.

Yeah. You know, he's a perfect mixture of me and Tom because I talk too much. Tommy talks perfectly. I'm funnier than Tom. So like, so he is, Gronk is the best of both worlds. He is awesome.

I can't wait for you to meet Gronk. You better geek out, you better geek out. What are you going to say? What are you going to say?

What's up, man? No, do something big, do something big. Mention how big his hands are. Okay, like his hands are massive.

His feet are big. I went to dinner with him, his dad and his dad's new wife. And they were like, just, is that not? Yeah, but they were just cool. His dad's like, you coming to Gronk's beach party? I said, yeah. And he goes, you wearing a Speedo? I was like, brother, I'm going to make you uncomfortable.

Julian Edelman's a gangster too. Your lineup is sick, man. Who you got coming? Who else?

Kenny Chesney? Yeah, the end of the hour. Really? Yeah. You want to stay?

I'm not going anywhere. Are you kidding me? You know, this is our thing. This is our thing. We just need to keep adding chairs.

Is that what you're saying? Please. I don't know if we have any, but we'll keep going. I'll sit crisscross applesauce on the floor. You can come join us. I'm going over there. We'll keep the party going from last night.

Yeah, buddy. We were hammered last night with Kelsey. Yeah, we went to Jason's thing. I was so drunk. I held on to the wall because I thought we were on a boat. I was wasted.

He's talking about podcasting. I said, you're talking to the wrong guy. Yeah, he brought me over again. How do you add so much juice all the time at 8 p.m.?

You got juice at all times, bro. I love it. Hey, Robin. What's up, man? How you doing? Tom, how you doing? Great to meet you. Yes.

Yes, you as well. We're going to figure out the seating, and we'll be right back here. They brought food.

But we need some nappies. On the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, cohost David Green and Rob Abasolo interview real estate investors and entrepreneurs about successes, failures, and hard-earned lessons. Joined by author Dave Meyer. Who wrote a book? I did write a book. It seems like you're coming out with a book every four minutes. You're one to talk. You've released two books this year.

I've done half as many as you. It is more about strategy than it is about just finding whatever the new buzzword happens to be. BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast on YouTube or wherever you listen. America in the morning. The podcast available wherever you listen.

WNBC. So here's what we're doing. This is a scramble drill.

Gronk and Edelman. Good to see you guys. We're always scrambling. That's for sure. Fantastic. Good to see you guys here.

And I'll explain why it smells so damn good around here. And Tom and Bert are sitting in Brockman and TJ seats. So we're here, sir. OK, very good. Can we get Brockman and TJ back?

I really don't like those guys. But Brockman is the biggest Patriot fan outside of my own family members that I know. So he'll do whatever you ask.

Pretty much right. All right. You know, whatever. Can you give Bert a massage? I'm asking him to get Bert a massage. Rub me down. Yeah.

Oh, seriously. Bert, I'm going to send an invoice. I have a joke in my head that I'm not saying. That's good.

That's called growth. You're not going to make it in the comedy world if you're holding back. Who's the name of the Patriots owner that got the massage? You said to take the chance, Rob. I took the chance. Yeah, you're going downhill. Robert Kraft is in Florida. See, now this is not good. No, and he started it. Rob started it.

All right. So we're live on the Roku channel. Radio audience is about to return. This is going to be lit because Kenny Chesney is joining in about 16 minutes time. Oh, my God.

That's why we're here. Live from the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Nevada. And welcome back to the Rich Eisen Show radio network. I'm sitting at the Rich Eisen Show desk furnished by Grainger with supplies and solutions for every industry.

Grainger has the right product for you. Call clickrainger.com or just stop by. For the radio audience, we just spent the last two minutes sorting everything out. Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura have taken Brockman and TJ's seats.

Brockman and TJ are just going to take a little selfie right there. And joining us now live from courtesy of Bounty in the Wingman campaign, Super Bowl champions, Rob Gronkowski and Julie Manilman. Good to see you guys.

How are you? We're good, Rich. You're good. A long time, man. It's been since that plane ride from Miami from Super Bowl like four years ago. Yes, right. That's what happens every time the Niners and Chiefs play as I guess we get together.

Yes, we get the link back up. Now you were flying out. You were saying I'm doing something. And then when my kids were watching the Masked Singer, they're like, that's Gronk. And I'm like, wait a minute. I think that might be Gronk because he was flying back from the Super Bowl.

He wouldn't tell me what the hell he was doing. Yes, yes, that's true. We actually sat next to each other in first class. I think it was the flight took off like in the fourth quarter, didn't it?

It did. We're smart enough to get the heck out of there and not be delayed the next day at the airport. And we were also like, this game was over anyway, right? And then the Chiefs scored 21 unanswered in the fourth quarter and we missed.

Yes, and ended up winning. But we were on the flight. Yeah, I was shooting over to L.A. because I had to go from the Super Bowl to L.A. to shoot the Masked Singer. And I couldn't tell you at the moment because I didn't want to ruin the surprise for everyone because I knew you're going to tweet it out that I was going to be on the Masked Singer and tell your son. But it was pretty obvious still. Even your son knew it was me the second I walked out there as the White Tiger. I mean, everyone knew it was me. It was impossible to keep it a secret. Everyone's like, who's the dude that's 6'10 in the outfit that's walking?

You know, I got that little strut that everyone knows. Julian can imitate it pretty well. Can you really? Wait, I'm just doing math in my head. Was that 2019?

Yeah, into 2020. Yeah, it's when Rob retired on us. That's because I was becoming a singer, Jules, you know?

In that case. Sweet. So is Tom Brady your Joe Rogan? Because that's our guy, right?

Our guy, Rogan, is the GOAT, right? Is that like, do you have secrets about Tom that you can't tell? Because we have Rogan secrets. I'll tell a secret. The guy doesn't shower.

What do you mean? He takes a shower pill. Yeah, he doesn't shower after games or after practice. I mean, if you had the rich kind of shower that he has at home, I wouldn't shower in the locker room either. He's got special water at his house as well. It just hits him and just makes him glow.

Appliable. All right, we'll tell a Rogan secret now. He's got his own salmon farm on his property. So he has a river that he built. And because he studies all this wildlife stuff, he'll jump in, catch salmon with his bare hands, tear them open, eat the eggs with his mouth.

And he's just like, this is what keeps me at the highest level. So it's all about salmon. Well, that was Tom without the jumping in a river or something.

Really? And eating raw salmon to have their eggs. I got to be honest with you. They're Brady Nugget far more fascinating than having a salmon farm on your in your property. Yeah, I'll be straight up with Tom had chickens. Plus you guys don't believe in AIDS.

Keep going. Well, that's not a shock either. But wait a minute. So the fact is you guys wanted stories from them about Brady in the shower, and they're telling you they don't have it.

But I've dug that well, a million times with Julian. Yeah, we already did that on your podcast. You guys took a shower together? Me and Tommy have identical pieces. We have identical pieces. We had our pieces tied together by a dom and electroshocked.

How good of friends are you guys? And some tell me you guys don't have matching pieces. Every day when I would walk in to the locker room, it'd be 7 a.m. and we'd be getting ready for work. And I would be peeing in the stall. And Gronk is, like, 9 feet tall.

So the things that divide don't really divide Gronk because he's so tall. And I'd just be peeing there. And all of a sudden, Gronk would look at me and he goes, Hey, Jules, you're looking good right now. Like, thanks, Rob. It'd be like every day, every day, like clock where he'd come over.

Jules, whoa, what's going on over there? You know, I kind of want Gronk to see my piece. Just give me notes.

Just give me tons of notes. I'll walk it over right now, Gronk. I won't be able to see it on you. I got to tell you, you know, you got a big bush. Careful. I'll tell you right now.

I've talked to Julian a bunch about Gronk because, you know, you want Gronk to be what he is. Yes, and brother, you deliver, man. You're smart, intelligent, handsome, caring. Great at math. Yeah, great at math.

Still struggling reading, but that's okay. He's a numbers guy. He's a numbers guy. Numbers guy. Enthusiastic.

Funnier than the comedians. Definitely. That often. Yeah, you know what? You know your moments. Yeah, my moments.

We had dinner the other night and I texted you. I was like, this is the greatest human being I've ever been around. You know your moments the way a comedy writer knows his moments. He steps in, says the thing. And what I love about Gronk and Jules, tell me if this is right. When he enjoys it, he laughs. And when he laughs, his laugh is contagious. It's like when you ever grab a dog from the back of his body and lift him up and the dog goes, oh, it's Gronk.

That's doggy style. That was my moment. That was my moment.

Thank you for setting me up. Buddy, you are my favorite human being alive. You said that about Julian when we were at dinner. I thought we were keeping secrets. He says it a lot.

He's like, it's a laugh. I love it. Bounty and the wingman campaign. They brought food here.

What is this that we got here? Well, I'm from Buffalo, so I'm a big Buffalo chicken wing guy, obviously. And you can't do ranch when you're in Buffalo. You know, everyone says, oh, I like ranch more than blue cheese. But when you're in Buffalo, you can only do blue cheese. And if you order ranch when you're in Buffalo, the whole restaurant will look at you like, you have three eyes. I'm telling you that right now.

But every place in Buffalo has legit, legit blue cheese. So you can't order the ranch. OK. You know, you can't have wings without, or what is it, football? No, you can't have football without wings. And you can't have wings without Bounty.

Yes, exactly. That's teamwork. See, that's not a wingman.

By the way, I have it written down here. That's a wingman right there. He bailed me out. He got a little paper towel, wiped off that messy little segment there. I'm going to clean up the mess with the quicker picker. He's wearing a lot of white. You've got to be careful.

He delivers, baby! Rich, you can't bring Bert and Tom on at the same time as the Jewelster, the Adelnut, and the Gronkster, all right? You're not going to talk any football, all right? It's supposed to be a football show, but that's probably not going to happen. No, it's a show where people are tuning in to see what is it like to be at the Super Bowl. And this is what it's like. This is exactly what it is. This is exactly what it is. Exactly what it is. Exactly. So what do you want to do with this?

You want to hand it out, or what do you want to do? Oh, yeah. Are the wings fresh? Yeah. Are the wings fresh? They smell fresh. I'll take one to the face.

Yeah, absolutely. We've got a turkey chicken wing. We also have a barbecue chicken wing right here.

Those are my two favorite. And we've got some blue cheese right here as well. Bert's been on a diet, but this is the diet he's been on. He's only eating fats, protein, and meat, chicken, and fish.

It's the Joe Rogan diet. OK. Hold on. Hold on. I'm out of mess there. See? And when you get out, when you ask for the wingman, come see me, baby. You wipe it off.

You wipe it off. You need a bounty. Thank you. Thank you, Jules. Here you go. You got to take a win.

I am a flat guy. Excellent brand execution, gentlemen. Thank you.

Thank you. You know, I take it. I break it.

I pull the wing out, and I suck it down. Hey, is it like a win? Is it possible to get some bouncy paper towels over here? Yes. My big one out.

That's how Jules comes in. Just one? Bring the whole thing over. No, you only need one.

These are so good. You only need one. You only need one.

You only need one. Oh, man. All right. Here we go.

Wait. What's that drink? It's vodka. While you're tying our paper towels, I want to try your product. Porosos, baby.

Porosos, baby. Take a swig from the end. To the face. This is a bad idea. Oh, yeah!

Yes! To my face. To my face. Pass the bottle around.

Here we go with Lisa Ann style. Bert just made out with me. My mouth was on it first.

I just made out with Gronk. Jules. Jules. To the face. Jules.

This is amazing. Jules. Come on, 11. That's a man. Hold on, ladies and gentlemen. Rich Eisen. To the face.

To the face. Where are we? Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich, Super Bowl experience. He is. We just want to thank Roku for having us. This is the last segment I'm ever doing on Roku. He's a comedy writer.

He waits for his moment and he kills it. Didn't think. Good thing I didn't have breakfast. Oh, my God. San Francisco 49ers are doing good. Who's gonna win? Who's your team?

San Francisco. I'm a big Christian McCaffrey guy. I tried to try to catch him in a room one time. I think I told you about this. You would just tell that story again.

$10,000. And he was like, brother, there's dudes who can pay millions and train all year to catch me, and they can't do it. And you forget. Christian's a attainable dude, right? Like you could grab him and feel him. When you touch him, I don't know.

Just stop me talking. Yeah, he's got nice shoulders. But when you touch Gronk or Jules's stomach, you guys are different. Animals and McCaffrey's back is impressive. And that's really why we think the Niners have the upper hand.

It's honestly hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes. Oh, man. I've never done this before. You have to excuse me. You throwing up?

Look at the wingman. What are you doing? You're taking my job. You're excused, Rich. Adelman, you're out.

Bounty, what's going on here? Come on, now. You got to help him out. It's all over there. I couldn't have it. It was on this side. You couldn't see it, Jules. Couldn't see over.

Nine feet tall. Who are you predicting for this? I'm going with 49ers. I think the score is going to be 31-21. And I think the 49ers, I mean, they kind of like squeaked themselves into the Super Bowl. They haven't even played a complete game in the playoffs.

But they're that talented that we still got there. OK, yeah. And who are you taking? This couldn't be a surprise me asking you this.

I mean, he's from the Bay Area. It's a surprise now, though, since the show started. Well, Rich, since I'm an in-studio analyst, I have to take my time on these kind of answers. With my betting history. Oh, I like this. What a way to start.

It is terrible. So whoever I pick, you should probably fade. OK, understood. I just, I'm from the Bay Area. OK. Big Niners fan. But it's so hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes. He's burnt me twice. I had 50 large on the Philadelphia Eagles last year, and he killed me.

He killed me. Yeah, but you burnt him in the AFC Championship. In the freaking Kansas City. They're not playing us, though. I'm going Niners. OK goes Niners.

I like that. With all due respect to Miss Tammy Reed, who I famed last night. The fame to her face unknowingly last night. We lit her up. And with all respect, Miss. She had the rings on her head. No, she wasn't.

I was like, hey. There's no way Andy Reid gets that woman. She is hot. Andy Reid's wife is hot. I still think Niners, Rich.

Yes. Yes, I'm going to go with the Niners. OK. And Burt, you're going, you're going to make it? I'm going Niners. That's four Niners. No, I don't like that. I don't like that.

Now the Niners are going to lose. Anytime you go onto a show and everyone picks one team. Yeah, you're right. Everyone else.

It happened this year. We all picked the Cowboys. Yeah. You know, the Green Bay Packers. And then that was the Green Bay Packers won.

Yeah. And then the Packers social media site just starts clowning you, right? I mean, today I didn't see that. It happens all the time. Whenever all four of us or when all four or five of us choose the same team, we didn't just, we say, if this is going to be used against us later, at least we want a good photograph because sometimes I'll have a screen grab and one of us have their eyes closed.

So we now pose and smile because at least we want the picture to be what we like it to be. So I'm just telling you that since you're an analyst. No, I'm just thinking right now.

He needs some tips. Are you wavering now? Are you now with these chiefs win, then they're tickling on our success. Don't worry about it, man. A quarterback with a chip in the shoulder and they're doing that to my homes, making him the villain. It's dangerous. I think I don't know anything about sports.

I just know about life. And I love that dude. All right. You guys have to go. You told your people are pulling you. No, I'm comfortable. I have an eight time entertainer of the year who's kind enough to stop and let's sing campfire songs with Kenny Chesney. That's all of us. Crisscross applesauce.

Kenny Chesney. No, no, sure. How you doing, man? Good to see you, brother. Good to see you. Good to take a break.

We're back with Kenny Chesney. Thanks for coming on, guys. Appreciate it.

Gronk and Edelman, everybody. Don't go anywhere. All right. We're back live here. Are we live?

Yeah, we are. No, no, no. Don't give us one second. All right. One second.

We'll give you one second. This is Kenny Chesney. You are the brand, brother.

Let's go, baby. You are everything about this. Rick, where are you? I'm right here.

Come on, Rich. This is the man right here. I know. I say this when we talk about the legacy of having fun. And you know I love you, brother. Thanks. The legacy of having fun.

It trickles down, but it starts with you. You are the man. I am such...

This is a dream scenario. And I'm telling you, I'm going to... Is this the first thing? Is this the fourth? Kenny, Kenny. Hit that. Are we done?

Oh, my God, brother. We all hit it already. We all hit it.

Yeah. To the face. Let's go. To the face. To the face. Pass it around. Kill the bottle.

Kill the bottle. All right. Let's go. Oh, we're running a chain, boys. That wasn't even a shot.

I was going to do a Super Bowl, real cute. Oh, my gosh. Oh, Lord.

Rich, you're going to be hammered on yourself. Backwash. I love it. Yeah. Edelman's last. That's how he does it. Finish it.

It was like a sip last time. Yeah, baby. Tell us, Rich Isen, thank you so much. Rich, thank you so much.

Thanks for coming. Thank you. Thank you so much.

You got to spike that. Thank you so much. Morosos, thank you for that.

Rich, thank you, man. Thank you. You as well. I'm going to hit you off.

Bailey's out there, so... I'm going to hit the mic. Thanks, brother. Thanks, brother.

That was amazing. See you, man. See you, man. See you, man. Jillian, how are you? Yeah, definitely.

How are you? Yeah, it was a pleasure, brother. I love you. Love you, brother.

All right, here. Thank you. That was awesome.

That was fun. Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys. Hey, Bert, what do you want me to do?

Thank you, brother. I don't know how I'll follow that. We'll figure it out. I think you may have tossed me.

All right, very good. We're off mics. Now we're back on our radio mics. All right, we're here on the Roku channel. That's how you do it, guys. Wow, that was fun.

Well, we'll follow it up. Our radio audience is about to return right here live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was a 54-year-old man when that segment started.

I'm now 80. Back on the Rich Eisen Show radio network. Look who's joining us right now is Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura and Rob Gronkowski.

And Julian Edelman just left. The eight-time Entertainer of the Year, his 20th album, Born, is going to be released March 29. A nationwide tour kicks off in April. 23 stadium concerts this tour, taking his total stadium plays to over 200.

The legendary Kenny Chesney here on the Rich Eisen Show. That's crazy. I didn't even know that. You didn't know that? I'm informing you.

I did not. Good to see you, man. Pleasure to see you. Thanks for having me. So come on.

Thanks for being here. All right, so let's just jump right into it. Okay. Your football team is, which is your football team? I grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Okay. So we didn't have a pro allegiance to anybody. All we had was Tennessee football. UT, right? Yeah. And that's how I grew up.

I mean, my father, my grandfather, we watched, we watched UT football religiously. Right. You know, so when Keith Jackson came to town, it was a big deal. Yeah. Right? Oh, yeah. So, but then I, you grow up and you start on the road and you become friends with people that, you know, Sean Payton's one of my best friends in the world. So he was here by the way, hour one.

Is that right? You know, I first met Sean when he was quarterback coach for the Giants. Yeah. And then he went to work with Parcells at Dallas. And then when he got the gig in New Orleans, we were already pretty good friends.

And I bought a suite at the Superdome just so me and my father could go to the show and go to the games and have something to do together. Right. And I like to kill this. I mean, it was so much fun.

I bet. It was so much fun. One of the loudest stadiums I've ever been in. And I was in the Superdome with NFL network the night that it reopened after Katrina and the night where, you know, Steve Gleason blocked upon now that's commemorated with a statue out in front. I've never heard a stadium. I'm getting goosebumps even talking about.

Never heard a stadium that loud. That was so great. And what Sean did for that community and that team and those two and Drew Brees and all those guys. So it was such a fun moment of Sean's life, my life, you know, but it was a great thing.

Like me and my father, you know, we didn't like a lot of sons and fathers probably don't have a lot in common except sports and especially football. And that was one of the reasons that I did that. You know, so for a long time, you know, we go down to New Orleans and we went to all the Super Bowl that Sean went to. And I had so much fun. So you adopted the Saints, essentially?

Yeah, because we didn't have an allegiance at all. Right. And then I met Andy Reid when he was still coaching in Philadelphia.

Sure. And so I'm really good friends with Andy and, you know, and I'm really proud that he gets to ring the bell, try to ring the bell one more time. I mean, he is what he is doing now with this team. And we talk about Mahomes numbers and his championships. I mean, Andy Reid is now in the pantheon of Tom Landry and the pantheon of Don Shula. Like, and obviously Belichick is in front because of his tenure with Brady in New England. But Andy Reid's in this conversation. And it's not by accident.

You know, it's not. I mean, of course he has some, he has one of the best players on the planet. But this is, if this was one or two years, you could say it was an act. But no, this is, Andy Reid is a great football coach, great person, and I couldn't be prouder for him. And I imagine Peyton Manning is one of your guys too? Yeah, I met Peyton when he was still in college at Tennessee. You know, so Peyton and I have been friends a very long time. Peyton Manning used to, you know, before we had, before there was a social media presence in the world and before everybody documented every single thing.

Yeah, there was two summers where Peyton, it was like his rookie year with the Colts and then the next year, he literally went out on a bus with, on tour with us and on the bus for like a couple of weekends. And we would have one extra guy on stage. He would be up there with a guitar and the audience would be looking around going, I think I look familiar, you know? And then I would introduce him as Peyton Manning and people would go crazy. That just shows you how different this, our social climate is now compared to then, it was a long time ago, but Peyton used to go out there on the road with us and he wouldn't even plugged in. Like he had a guitar over his shoulder, you know, it was all in good fun, but he wouldn't even plugged in and he wouldn't even change chords, you know?

Like he would, he couldn't even fake it. Like, you know, you had to change a chord during a song and Peyton would stay in the same spot the whole time. Everybody knew he wouldn't plug in. And for a guy who's known for changing plays, you can't change chords. He just kept it in one spot. No audibles when he's playing guitar.

Oh my gosh, that is funny. Kenny Chesney is here on the Rich Eisen Show. So who were your idols growing up? Oh, well, I had a lot. You know, I had my musical idols. Yeah, who were they? You know, I loved Bruce Springsteen.

I just loved, but what's interesting is I didn't know the genius of him until I started trying to create my own songs and write songs. Right. So then you realize how hard that is and how hard it is finding commonality with people.

So for those reasons along, I love, I've always loved Bruce as a writer and as, and what he gives of himself, which is everything up there on stage. Yeah. And that's where I went, okay, you're going to try to do it like that or not do it at all. No kidding. Yeah.

And so that's, that's where we kind of, you know, you, you see that and when I first saw them, I couldn't believe it. Have you ever been able to express that too, Bruce? Yeah.

Yeah. That's what's, that's what's so, you know, you go out on the road, rich and you, and you, you, you know, you, you start to see your dreams come true and you go down your own journey and then you meet these people and you become friends with them. That's been the craziest thing for me is to even know Andy Reid or Bruce Springsteen, you know, and to be able to have and tell them what they mean to you and how they may have shaped your journey. You know, without them even knowing it. And that's been an amazing thing.

So who else keep going? Well, I mean, like in sports, I mean, I, my, me and my dad, you know, dad loved Mickey Mantle way, way before. And I loved, you know, my, my father was a coach. So I really looked up to my father also, but in football, I mean, I, I, I, I still loved watching Dan Marino throw the football. I love, even though, you know, he, he, he, he, he, he won all the games, never was here, but I, I really looked up to him as a, as a kid. I, I, there was a guy that played because he played at Tennessee and went to the Patriots. That's the reason that I really, as a kid, if I had a pro allegiance, it went to the Patriots because there was a guy, I don't know if you remember, his name was Stanley Morgan.

Of course. And Stanley Morgan played Tennessee and I loved him. We're number 21 at Tennessee and then went to the Patriots. And so it was those things like that that I just, you know, my brain was everywhere with music and sports. You got to meet Brady. Did you ever? Oh yeah.

I've met Tom a couple of times, you know, but you know, I was, it was late later, you know, and so I didn't really, of course, he's a, you look up to Tom, but as a kid, you know, I, I, I was, I just had so many people that I, that this took my imagination everywhere, you know? Yeah. Kenny Chesney here on the Rich Eyes and Show, Boys of the Fall, a multiple week, number one song remains the quintessential Anthem for high school football players and programs across America.

Tell me about that one. Boys of the Fall. Boys of the Fall was, speaking of Sean Payton, was a song I put out, I think it was 2010, 2010. Yeah. Right after the Saints won it.

That's right. And so I reached out to Sean and I said, look, we're going to, we're going to shoot this clip. We're going to shoot this video for Boys of Fall. It's about high school football.

And it's just about, you know, the, the, the family of it all. I said, I want you to go to your high school, where you went, it was in Illinois somewhere. I forgot the name of the high school, but I want you to give a pregame speech to the team that you played for.

Yeah. And it wasn't written. We didn't script anything. And to hear him give that pregame speech shows you why he is brilliant at what he does. I mean, it was off the top of his head and that was stunned at what he said. And if that don't get you ready to play football, nothing, nothing does, you know, but Sean was a big part of that. That, and that led to us doing an actual, a 30-30-esque thing for ESPN called Boys of Fall and led to it, Richard, all of a sudden I found myself going and sitting in the, in the homes of all these people like John Madden and Bobby Ballad and Nick Saban and talking about just the game and that's what the, so the song was more than just a song. It just, and Sean helped me do all that, right? It was crazy.

It was just such a huge chapter of my life. That song was. You have a prediction for the game, Kenny Chesney? Well, I, it's, I saw a stat, a crazy stat this morning where Mahomes when he's an underdog is some obscene number, his record is like 10 and two, not covering, but winning the game. Right.

So it's just impossible to bet against them. I mean, it's about, so I'm taking, is the line two today? I don't know what is it? What's the line today? Two and a half. So it's hard. But just straight up, what do you think? I think she's, there's too hot of a team.

And Andy Reid would be back to back. Yeah. Unbelievable. It's that's three and four.

So, I mean, it's, it's, it's an unbelievable thing to, you know, especially for someone that you're friends with to know that they have left their mark on a game like that. My God. Do you know what Andy Reid's favorite song of yours is for him? Do, does he told you that? Well, he's done, I have my own radio station on Sirius XM called No Shoes Radio. And Andy Reid was actually a guest DJ on it once. And so he, as you would imagine, he goes on and on and on about Boys of Fall and what it means to him.

And so that I'm pretty sure if you ask him, it's that. Dude, how cool is that? Yeah, that was really cool. Andy Reid is a guest DJ? He was a guest DJ on my radio station and did a hell of a job.

I mean, it was, I was impressed. Like what? He would lead, would he, would he hit the... No, you give him an hour. So let's just say, if somebody does it, we'll have my guy, you know, you do it over, he'll either come to you and you, it's, it's not live.

You do a bunch of stuff, you edit it down. And then, so he, he, he talks about all of his favorite songs. He talks about what they play in the stadium pregame, coming to shows of mine and, and other people that he loves going to shows to. And it's, he did a really incredible job. Long distance dedications. Who did that? Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey. Oh my God. This one goes out. Oh my God.

kennychesney.com for dates and tickets for the Nationwide Tour Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour. You are the best, man. Man, thanks for having me.

Are you kidding me? I really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, our three coming up in Vegas.

We're still here on the Roku channel. Honestly, that when, when our guest list came out, your name just jumped off. And there are people here who are just like, listen, we're not, we're not really fanboys or fan girls, but I got to get a picture with Kenny Chesney. It is you.

Come see us this summer sometime. Yeah. And you were a, you were a great dude.

So I appreciate you for coming on. And are you wearing, are you wearing jumpman? So my kicks, what are you talking about? Yeah.

You have what you got on right now? Well, these are, yeah. There's my Jordan Air Jordans here. Okay. There's a fours. Thank you. He's got my fours on.

Kenny. I got ones on. He's got two. Because Sebastian Maniscalco was here earlier.

And he said, once you reach a certain age, you shouldn't wear Jordans anymore. But we took offense to that. And I'm glad you're here representing. There you go. They look great.

Brand new too. Kenny Cass, do you have a haiku? Do you still do haikus?

Haikus? Yeah. How do you know? How did you know that? How did I know that? Because we met years and years and years ago after a concert. And you told me that you were the master of the haiku. And you used to... Well, there's a...

I can't believe you. I told you my haiku story. You told me a haiku. I don't remember it. There was this girl that I was trying to get to go out with me.

Right? And she was an English teacher. And I said, what can I possibly do?

You know, she wouldn't say yes. And she goes, if you write me a haiku, I'll go out with you. Oh, man. And then, of course, I'm not an English major. So I had to go see what a haiku was. So it's 17 syllables.

Not anymore. Not a syllable less. Not a syllable more. So I wrote this down and gave it to her. And she was stunned. So it goes, I cannot believe... Yeah.

The catch of the day, glass of merlot, one feeds the body, one feeds the soul. 17 syllables. I gave it to her and she couldn't believe it.

So the one syllable she said hopefully was yes, not no. Yes. I can't believe you remember that story. I can't believe I told you. You're the best, Kenny Chesney. Thanks for coming on. Thanks, pal.

Hour three coming up. Greg Olsen, Chris Berman. The Rolling Stone Music Now podcast gets inside the biggest stories with Rolling Stone's senior writer, Brian Hyatt. And here's Lil Yachty with Tierra Whack. I've never been to a fashion show.

I never did any Paris fashion week, New York fashion week, and I'll tell you why. Because I would always go to events and people would say to me, Oh, man, Yachty, man, I love your music, bro. And I should be like, what song? I didn't even at the time, I didn't love my music. I always feel like I'm in a room with all these artists and they all respect each other. I feel like no one respects me. Rolling Stone Music Now, wherever you listen.
