You'll be visited by star players, all-time greats, celebrity guests. Of course. Oh. Ah, the ultimate treasure awaits. The chess?

You didn't think I was serious, did you? You really think the Chiefs are going to three-peat? The Magic 8-Ball says the Rich Eisen Show from the Big Easy starts now.

That's right. We are back here on the Rich Eisen Show live from New Orleans at the Turbo Tax Studio. Hand off your taxes to a Turbo Tax full-service expert this year.

They do your taxes, you get back to life. Now this is taxes, and this is our final hour of the week here, the work week here in New Orleans for our coverage of Super Bowl 59 between the Chiefs and the Eagles. We've had a lot of fun so far today. Kenny Chesney and Dion Sanders and Keegan-Michael Key and Emmitt Smith. And joining us later on in this hour, Rob Gronkowski and Drew Brees.

And we will, before we get on out the door, give our predictions for the game. Oh, finally. But joining us right now is a man who is, as Dan Patrick would say, en fuego. His massive comedy show this weekend in New Orleans, Nikki Glaser, Tony Hinchcliffe, Bert Kreischer, and this man as Dr. Phil, ladies and gentlemen, Adam Ray.

Guys, happy to be back, dressed up for you. You're wearing a T-shirt that it does look like to me from here is the cast of Murphy Brown. So what do we have here? Cancel your doc appointment, Rich. You've got 20-20 vision. This is an authentic – I've got a buddy that makes these shirts where he tries to combine things that I think normally don't go together, and then he puts them – he's got a weird Nicolas Cage shirt with – it's like – it's Brock's son with Nicolas Cage's – like in a Nicolas Cage movie. It's like – so this is, yeah, Murphy Brown, Candace Bergen.

Very nice. I'm just trying to, you know, give shout-outs here at Super Bowl Week. You guys have had every guest on this show. Except for Candace Bergen.

Except for Candace. I didn't want to bring it up and make it weird. I know that. I know that.

I appreciate that. She has the same agent as Troy Aikman. Wouldn't that be wild? That would be wild. The guy out there is like, I got Bergen. I got Aikman. Trying to get him a show.

Trying to put him together like Martha and Snoop. But so far, no bites. No bites. Pun intended. No bites. You're wearing a Seattle Sonics hat.

Always. But to a Super Bowl. If you've seen – Oh, God, I didn't feel bad about it until just now. No, no, I'm just saying. I mean, Chris went to the Super Bowl in Minnesota for New England versus Philadelphia. And he was my plus-one, because New England made it. He was my plus-one in Roger Goodell's suite. No way. And he showed up in a Red Sox hat. I don't know why this is a point of contention with you. Yikes.

Because it's – you don't wear baseball gear around the NFL Commissioner. Stop it. You're doing a thing.

He's not doing a thing. I'm dirty and sweaty and gross. I always wear that hat.

I have it right here. That's a new hat, though, bro. You're the guy that goes to the Blind Melon concert wearing a Nirvana t-shirt. You can't do that. And it needs to stop.

You can't do that. But you're hanging around like Eddie Vedder. You know what I mean? Yeah, dude. Read the room. You know what I mean? Well, look, I – It's okay. If you've watched me on the Rich Eisen Show here on the Roku channel and you watched to the end, thanks for that.

Who am I? Oh, my God. I know, I know. I've got to change that. No, you don't. It's one of – I told you this last time I was here.

Anyway, I always rock Seattle gear because I'm diehard Seahawks, Sonics, Sounders, Storm, Mariners. Didn't spend enough money. We can talk about it next time I come on the show. Hey, now. But, yeah, dude, I – Kraken.

Kraken. Yeah. Hockey is the one sport I have – You left it out, huh?

I didn't grow up with it. You know, live hockey is fun. Yeah.

Yeah. I've been to some Kings games. I met Al Michaels at a Kings game once.

The story gets better. And I meet Al. He was there with a friend of mine's friend. So he introduced us in the little walkway there at Crypto. And somebody goes – he goes, oh, and Al, this is Adam Ray. I go, Al, I think we actually matched on Tinder like an hour ago.

And in my head, I'm like, oh, that's a pretty – that's a Hail Mary on first down as far as bits go. Yeah, yeah. And he pulls me in and just goes, I don't remember you. He goes, yeah.

He goes, you saved your mustache. Oh, wow, dude. Just jumped in the bit boat. Yeah. Yeah. Funny guy. Yeah, man. Funny guy.

His memories are still trapped, bro. Is it really? Yeah.

It is that. Have you had a moment yet this week where you're like, I'm ready to go because it's so chaotic? Or have you had a moment where you're like, this is – this is the best week of my life? We're very fortunate to be here. Yeah.

Sitting here and just having some very interesting people stop by and hanging out. You being one of them. Thank you. You know.

Yeah. You and I are doing something with Burt later on, right? Doing Burt Kreischer's cooking show. So now tell me about – I've not been on his cooking show. He cooks for us. He cooks for us. And it's just – Does he wash his hands before? No, he doesn't wash his hands. I don't think he's wearing pants or a shirt. Oh, no.

It's optional for us as well. That kitchen sounds like a C. Yeah. Yeah. It's Burt. It's just a way – you know, Burt is just the ultimate – he's got the Mickey Mantle Jane.

He just wants to hang out all the time. Yeah. Right.

And have around cool, fun people. So it'll be you, myself, and Cam Hayward. Cam Hayward. Oh, wow.

Yes, sir. I saw him last night at the NFL Honors. What a gangster, man. Little guy.

How is that? He's massive. Yeah, he's a huge guy. Huge.

You forget? He's a huge guy. He's huge, you guys. But how massive these guys are. Yeah. We, you know, we can't believe it sometimes just how big they are and, like, it's your job to actually tackle them. Who's the biggest guy you've ever met where you're like, I would love to get one little glimpse in the bathroom at what's going on between – Between two of our – Their brains? Yeah.

Between – yeah. I don't think I've ever had that. I've never thought about that. We've never advanced it to a certain point about wanting to see, you know, somebody – Yo, Larry David – Listen, I know you've been rooting for Big Unit for all those years, but I mean – Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, can I say, like, Serena or – you mean – say it again now.

He wants to see someone in the back. No. I was like, could I say Serena? Yes.

You can. Let us stick to the comedy. Okay?

T.J., you sit back. Well, he's laughing. You included your son. Okay. Oh, interesting. Yeah, yeah.

We'll stick to the comedy. Somebody turned my mic off. I think one of the biggest people you think you're – whoa. Jonathan Ogden – Jonathan Ogden. At the Hall of Fame a few years ago when we were there.

Absolutely clips the son. Yeah. Adam right here on the Rich Eisen Show.

So when did you first start doing Dr. Phil? Did that just come out of – So I tried Rachel Ray and Phil Donahue and Montel Williams, and all of them seemed to just not – Didn't vibe. Hit. Yeah.

Montel. Yeah. The people, for various reasons, were not into those characters. Right.

No. It was when the Actors' Strike hit, and it was – you know, I don't know if you guys have experienced something like this where you go, oh, I – now, like, you know, I was standing – a healthy diet of stand-up podcasts and auditioning and trying to be on other people's stuff. And then when that opportunity is taken away, it's like, well, I don't want to just sit around and wait. And it really kind of shined a light on the idea of I need to – like I've always been doing, like, create your own opportunities. And so I'd always want to do a live stage show.

Once I saw, like, George Bush's – or Will Ferrell's George Bush show they did on Broadway years ago, or Mulaney and Nick Kroll's Oh Hello that they did, just doing a character show always seemed like a blast because I'm doing stand-up all the time and just something fun. And I come from, you know, theater. You know, my – I played the cowardly lion in the fifth grade, which my mom still says to this day is my greatest role of all time. And I was a huge kid, like I was. And you're like, oh, how fat were you?

Well, I wore my t-shirt when I swam, not because I was embarrassed, because I didn't want to make the girls jealous with what I was working with, Rich. Nice. And they would go, oh, my God, Adam, how'd you get them sweet-ass boobies? And I was like, two words for you, pop-tart appetizer. So I was – Isn't that three words?

Pop-tart is one? Yeah, exactly. Okay, sorry. Yeah. We'll edit this out. But so I would – you know, I just wanted to mix it up, and Bill Burr was going to do an Adam Rand Friends show I was doing at the Comedy Store, and I was like, Bill, I think I'm going to do the show where I dress up like Dr. Phil and just kind of do like a mock late night show.

I don't know what it looks like. I'll do a monologue and some crowd work. And he couldn't have been quicker to be like, dude, yes, that sounds hilarious. Make fun of my anger ratios like I'm in. And he was all about it.

And we just riff for two hours on stage. And what was cool was, you know, Burr is one of my favorite comics of all time, and getting to kind of riff with him and, you know, as I found with the character, be a little abrasive, like Phil is. You know, there's real Phil episodes, which I've only ever watched maybe 10 to 15 minutes of the actual show, where I've picked up a couple things of just, you know, some girls like, I don't smoke weed.

He's like, well, your mom begs to differ, and I'm going to bring her out. But I didn't come 90% of the way to get 10% of the information. Hold that thought. We'll be right back.

And it was just the way that he was controlling everything, chopping people down, and then throwing to commercial. You know, Nathan, you're only nine, but you look 49, okay? You've got weird googly teeth and pirate eyes.

You got HPV on your tongue. I can smell it. You're at rock bottom. We got to get you to rock top and figure out who's driving the depressive submarine inside your heart. Nathan, give me one reason why you're not a loser, okay?

And I'll give you 10 reasons why everyone in your family wishes you were dead. We'll be right back. And every time he did it, I was like, this guy is like, just wait. It was so funny. And so it seemed like a fun guy to, to parody and then find your own version of it through. So getting to like, you know, hitting and hug Burr was fun. And now we've done, I don't know, 30 shows at the store.

Now we're on a 30 city theater tour, these three to 5,000 seat theaters that are selling out months in advance. And then we had the Netflix special where Real Phil came on. He came on, which is so, so when you started doing it and it was clearly a hit and it was clearly working, but did, were you concerned that Phil would find out and like, you go to your mailbox every day, hoping there's no cease and desist letter in it. You know what I mean? I mean, 1000%. I think I always felt pretty you know, confident in my just intent with it all.

I was never trying to blur the lines or, or, or say things that would, you know, be disparaging to him. But keeping it silly was always the move like, you know, like we had a show last week and I brought out Johnny Knoxville and we did, I talked about how my fear, you know, everyone's got fears. Mine is being featured on America's funniest on videos, getting smacked in the nuts and, and going down hard and not being a man about it.

So I'm gonna bring out a friend to help me get over that fear. So we brought Johnny Knoxville and he brings out this whole nut slapping contraption they've used on Jackass that has like this compression thing and like a flip flop at the end. And it basically, so I brought three people up to compete against and Johnny had the buzzer and he was like, all right, you want trivia or spelling? And so, you know, then we'd answer and we just all got smacked and that was a fun way. And then I said, I have, and then we honored some LA firefighters, which was awesome.

This was on Tuesday. And then from that I was like, I'm addicted to giving back, but I'm also addicted to Kraft Mac and cheese. Okay. I can't get enough. I started doing this, but every time I would hiccup burp like, or really burp, I go, sorry, I had a Mac and cheese portable in the car. So that became like a running joke to where I was like, I'm going to do a bit where I talk about how I'm addicted to them. And then we had Jeremiah walk-ins who plays a different character, every show come out dressed as an easy Mac. And I started singing a Teddy swims, lose control, you know, something's got a hold of me lately.

Yeah. I don't know myself anymore. And then I stopped singing and go, you know, I don't have the pipes or the passion to get through this. Let's bring out the real deal. And then Teddy swims came out and just murdered it as me and a guy dressed in a Mac and cheese portable, like interpretive Dan's and made love. And it was beautiful.

I'll send you a link, but it was, it was wild. So there's still getting to like add different elements for every show and make it, you know, like a it's, you know, not, not SNL, but like just a variety, it's got, it's got something for everybody. You know, it's, it's, you're killing it, man.

And we're going to have a rich eyes on it when it works, when the schedules work, maybe when things slow down, when things slow down, I would love to be involved in whatever you're doing and to get dr. Phil on the show. Oh, that's happening. You know, I've been trying to pull off that caper for awhile, you know? But out of everything you just said that I kind of want to revisit Johnny Knoxville kept the actual I guess, jackass used nut slapping device. Yeah.

It existed. Isn't that for Harrison Ford probably held onto the whip from Knoxville is like, don't touch the nut slapping. Whatever you do. Yeah. You told everybody back in the production staff.

Yeah. They're not putting it in the Smithsonian, but, but what his response, I mean, that's what's so cool about this business, right? It's like, I mean, you guys have met so many cool people, but he got such a wild pop because it's also like, I like bringing people to the comedy store for those shows and on the live shows that people aren't expecting to see. And, and, you know, if you stick around long enough and you're not a total piece of crap, you make some cool relationships and, and, you know, I just threw a hail Mary to Johnny on Instagram and, and there was a message that I'd sent him 10 years ago when Brad Williams and I were doing a podcast, me asking him to be on the podcast and he didn't respond to that, but then he saw this one where I was like, would you ever want to come on the Dr. Phil show? And he got back and was like, first of all, sorry for leaving you on scene 10 years ago.

It's all right. You didn't, you were probably getting hit up all the time, but he was like, you know, I'm a fan and I'd love to, you know, come on and, and he had all sorts of ideas too. He was, he was like, we could do fake, you know, or not fake. I suggested a fake beer bottle and he was like, you know, with all due respect, everything I do is real.

Yeah. I commit like, so we could do a real one. And I was like, let's do it. And then my best bud, Norm, who helps produce a show was like, nah, you're not doing that. And then I was like, well, Johnny suggested pepper spray and Norm's like, nah, you're not going to do that either. And then he's like, what about the nut slapping thing?

He's like, yeah, you should definitely do that. And he's just so he's a little crazy with it, but you have to be, to be doing that show, you know, Adam Ray is Dr. Phil unleashed is available for streaming on Netflix, which obviously is something you could see right here through the Roku portal about last night podcast, wherever you get your podcast, your standup dates as Dr. Phil live, you're going to Denver and the, Oh, a Valentine's night in Denver, it's going to be take your, take your boo, take your boo, take your Bay, take your side piece, take your wife's best friend Aaron who needs to get out because of the divorce, take everybody who, uh, who likes live entertainment. The shows are always different, but yeah, and I also, all my standup dates are Adam Ray comedy.com too. Yeah, Salt Lake city, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that's just in February alone, Adam Ray comedy.com, which is where you can get tickets to, uh, tomorrow night. If you're in town, Bert Kreischer, Nikki Glaser, who I saw last night at the NFL honors, Tony Hinchcliffe and you as Dr. Phil at the, I said Uno lakefront arena when, uh, when Bert was here on Wednesday and all the locals were like, it's UNO, sir.

So it's UNO lakefront arena. You got a thought on the game at all? What do you think?

I do. I, uh, Travis is a, is a homie, so I'm leaning a little, I'm leaning red. Um, you know, the idea of, it is wild when you don't have a horse in the race, like your, your emotional attachment is a little, like I forgot when the Seahawks won in 2013, which is my squad, I forgot how invested you get as a fan to where like you feel like you contributed to the win. People were congratulating me out in New York, left and right after we won and I had no problem accepting partial responsibility.

I was like, dude, thank you man. Those 15 beers I had at half, I think it helped us run the ball better. I think Marsan saw the beast mode inside of me and brought it out in him. But I think I'm leaning towards, um, I don't see how you can bet against my homes. I think Seguin Barkley has had a season for the ages and it's really, uh, I think he's not going to be stopped tomorrow, but I just think T Swift's going to be in the, in the stadium. There's, there's an, there's an energy there. I think the, the chance for a three-peat is to, uh, they've also just been there, man. They're just so poised for lack of a better word. And I just feel like, um, it's, it's there's for the taking.

So don't quote me on that. I did, uh, I did, uh, make, uh, some prop bets. Um, the first prop bet I ever made was whether pink would go over under on the, on the national Anthem. This was years ago when Adam Devine and I were on tour in Japan and we were at a Hooters in Shibuya, Japan.

Put that on your bingo card and smoke it Hooters in Shibuya, what sounds like where you go to end it all. But it was, uh, or make a prop bet on pink. And I had never really bet before. Right. And I'm still not a huge better, you know, I bet on, uh, how this interview would go and uh, and it's not going well, but, but, but I, you know, you have to bet on yourself, but so my buddy goes pink, uh, it's over under and he goes, uh, take the under cause I heard she has a cold and I go, how, how do you even what, dude, I just don't ask how I know, but I know.

Do you like to do something? He's like, no. And then, uh, so I put a couple of hundred on it and one, and she went like, she stopped at one 48 and as she was like going through the Anthem and kind of going fast, he's texted me being like, look, dude, she's rushing. And I'm like, wow, dude, there is another level two gambling that I'm just not insane. It's insane.

It's insane. Who was it? Lady Gaga who double braved one year.

Yeah. I think that the one in Houston that was everything up, right. She double braves like home of the brave brave after that.

She double braved is also what you can do Atlanta in Atlanta at the magic city with chipper Jones. Ladies and gentlemen, she double braved and I'll never forget, uh, in Miami, the Super Bowl in Miami, the one where Prince would did the halftime. Billy Joel did the, did the, um, the national Anthem and I was there in the NFL network green room where somebody from the NFL was prepping Billy Joel before he went out to his press conference. And they said to him, listen, Billy, we're thrilled that you're here. And the one thing we ask of you is just please do not say how long the national Anthem is going to be if you're asked because, and he says, why not?

And they explained it was that, you know, people bet on it and it's really not something that we're terribly into being talked about. And he says, okay. And he goes onto the stage in front of the media, Billy Joel's first thing is like, you know, it's such an honor to be back here at the super bowl, doing the national Anthem for a second time.

I think it's going to be about two minutes and 10 seconds to two minutes and 15 seconds long. And he just started talking to God, dude, he just did not care. That's so wild. I don't tell Billy Joel, don't tell Billy Joel what to do.

That's the rule. I just did the surprise birthday roast for a jelly roll in Nashville about two months ago. It was Bert Kreischer and Winnie Cummings and Mark Norman and myself. And they had some, this guy, Cole Houser from Yellowstone was there and Kid Rock was there. And they went out of their way to be like, one of the people putting on the event was like, don't make fun of Kid Rock. He's like kind of sensitive. He doesn't, he just wants to enjoy the show.

Like don't like just really let him just be back. Don't like fire off singers that I'm just let him enjoy the show. Just please like, don't make any jokes about Kid Rock. And all I heard was I'm going to make a ton of jokes about Kid Rock because why not? He's here.

He's like, you know, fair game. So I was up there and I was like, Kid Rock's here. I go, Kid Rock, I'll make this quick. I got to, I know you got to get back to talking too loud at a Cracker Barrel.

And then, and then I go, Cracker Barrel is actually how Kid Rock's wife is going to end. And that got more laughter here than it did there. And thanks.

I heard David Allenburg laughing in the back. And he loves you by the way. And then I called him Snoop Dogg and white fit and then like, he was a good sport about it. So yeah.

So that's at the end of the day. He razzed me up a little bit. How was it the first time you met Dr. Phil though? It was wild.

It was. He was, I was like, dude, thanks for, I kind of got real, not emotional, but I cried in front of him as him, but I go, dude, thank you for like being cool with this because you know, comedy is a, you know, the whole laughter medicine thing is, is pretty apparent. And the more I've gotten into this business and gotten to do shows and for more and more people and the Phil stuff, I get messages that are wild as far as people being like, you know, my mom is a, it stays for cancer and this is the only thing that's made her laugh.

We watch it together every time. It's so just the power of it all is getting even makes it even more fun. So I think Phil on this level of like, thanks for letting me do it because not only is it so fun and give me a little bump career wise and exposure, but it's, you know, making so many people happy.

And that's the point of all this. And he was just like, well, you know, you would have known a long time ago if I wasn't cool with it. And then he goes and then I kind of set up what I needed him to do with the show.

Everything's riffed, you know, and off the cuff, but the entrance, I didn't want to waste his entrance. So I had me say like, I always say like, I don't like your effing attitude to somebody in the crowd. And then he came out, you know, and surprised everybody. And then everyone goes nuts cause we locked the phones up.

They didn't know. And then he comes out, takes a beat, milks his applause and then goes, I don't like your effing attitude. And then I go, who are you? And he goes, who am I, who the eff are you? And then we did, I go, I wanted to do a mirror thing like the, where we kind of like looked at each other. So we did that. And then he set the mic down and goes, we'll be right back.

And then that got a big applause. And then we just chatted for a while and I was like, uh, Phil, I go, thanks for being here. I'm glad you're here. And he goes, I'm sure you are. I'm sure it's exactly how you plan this, you know, but so he's a good sport. That's great, man. Yeah. And Adam Ray is Dr. Phil, uh, tomorrow night again, Bert Kreischer, Nikki Glaser, Tony Hinchcliffe, uh, 7 Eastern at, uh, or 7 Central right here at the UNO lakefront arena.

Who's never been to new Orleans. Who is a big fan and who lets me dress up and play pretend one night after doing a Phil show, I, uh, Chappelle did a secret show at the belly room of the comedy store. So I stayed in makeup to watch them. And uh, and then I had to sleep in the makeup and she woke up in the middle of the night and uh, and saw me in full makeup and, uh, I took the stash off obviously, but she was awakened to, uh, not something, well, her future, but you know, but also I've never, I've never really met, but she is definitely a rock star. Certainly seeing your videos that I follow on, uh, at Adam Ray Comedy of you as the husband finding out what the wife is doing behind his back. It's one unmentionable thing after another. I cannot mention even reference on this, on this show. Do whatever you want.

I don't know. I want to continue doing it. Smart move.

In fact, I can't imagine that your actual wife sees that, but it's impressive that you're still married. Congratulations. Thank you. Adam Ray, everybody. Gronk and Drew Brees coming up next here.

Then our game predictions as we roll out of new Orleans here on the Rich Eisen show. I got a riddle for you. What are yoga mats, a toothbrush and a Hyundai have in common? I'll give you a moment.

I mean, picture this you're in your PJs snugged in on your couch. You pull up Amazon on your phone and start the process right there. Just locate a nearby dealer, pick your color, your options, check the price. And with a few dotting of some I's and crossing of some T's, voila, your Hyundai is ready for pickup. It's that easy.

I will tell you this, Chiefs fans, football fans, Brett Veitch was on Patrick Mahomes from the very beginning, and Brett Veitch told me this year that we would take a picture with the Lamar Hunt trophy in the locker room of Arrowhead, and we did that, and he said that from the beginning multiple times. So now that is what we call an insider. An insider.

That's an insider. No, but I, look, I've known you for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, you are a mixture of ecstatic excitement and profound nervousness right now. I am measured. I am measured. I am a volcano of emotions inside. Yes, right now. I can see right now like you are.

You know, because I don't like to get the cart before the horses type of guy. I know the 49ers are a good team. I also know we're a good team. I love that about the Super Bowl.

It's a great matchup. We each have things we have to do to win the ball game. We have to stop their run, and Patrick Mahomes has to be Patrick Mahomes.

There's no doubt about it. It is just amazing seeing, you know, this moment for you, knowing how much it means to you that you're actually here at a Super Bowl. This is actually happening.

I couldn't believe it. Going down there on the field after that and high-fiving those guys, and just the fact that Veatch told me, you're going to come down on the sidelines, and you're going to go in the locker room, and you're going to kiss the Lamar Hunt trophy with me. And that happening, and he said, brother, the next trophy we're going to kiss is the Vinnie. We kiss the Lamar. Let's get the Vinnie.

Kiss the Vinnie. Now, talk to you guys next week. Come on back. Welcome back to the Rich Eisen Show Radio Network. I'm sitting at the Rich Eisen Show stocks, furnished by Grainger, with supplies and solutions for every industry. Grainger has the right product for you.

Call clickgrainger.com or just stop by. I have got two first ballot hall of famers, whenever their time is ready for that. I guess Bounty and the Wingman is representing none other than Super Bowl champions Drew Brees and Rob Donkowski. Good to see you guys. How are you? Rich, great to see you, man. Always a pleasure to be on your show, man. I appreciate you saying that. You look real serious right now.

Did I do something wrong? No, no. I've been a little bit run down. I just slept 11 hours last night, and I feel like I'm still sleeping.

Wow. Yeah, but you should wake me up. Well, every time I come on your show, usually I leave wide awake. Okay, that's good. I think he's just in more of a sincere frame of mind. Is that what it is? Like, you have kind of noticed a really sincere Gronk here over the last, like, 30 minutes. It's not right. He's just expressing some gratitude towards you, Rich.

That's all. It's good to see you, man. I haven't seen you in a long time, Drew Brees.

I know. I feel like we just kind of have our annual visit at Super Bowl. We do. Like, we should make this more frequent. Like, play some golf, maybe play some pickleball, Padel, maybe, I don't know. No, I've never done the Padel thing. Yeah, no, it's awesome.

Yeah, we were talking about that earlier. Have you Padel-ed it up? No, I'm a pickleballer. Usually, in March, I play a lot of pickleball because I'm down in Florida, and then a lot of my friends are down there, but I never Padel-ed in my life. I think it's similar, and everyone that plays Padel says, like, no, you got to play Padel. It's better than pickleball.

Like, 100% of my friends have said that, so I'm sure eventually I'm going to play some Padel. I'm waiting for Drew Brees to give me a call so I can play. Oh, yeah. We just need a fourth now, guys. Yeah, that's right. Oh, hey, guys.

What's your thing? I don't know what Padel is, fellas. I'll take pickleball, but with a wall, right? Yeah, imagine pickleball plus racquetball. Racquetball, right. Yeah, so it's somewhat of an enclosed. You've got plexiglass on the back. You play it off the walls, so there's a little bit of that.

Turf requires a little more athleticism. Dude, what is it like walking around this town, by the way? What is it like for you walking around? With this jacket on or just in general?

The bounty jacket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, just in general, Drew Brees walking around New Orleans. What's that like for you, man? You know what, honestly, like, I walk around town just like I'm a New Orleanian, you know? So, like, I'm proud. I'm proud of our town.

And, like, I'm excited that we get a chance to host an 11th Super Bowl. Like, this is awesome, most of any other city. And the reason, there's a reason that everybody keeps coming back here, because everybody has such a good time, right? And this city is just made for this.

Like, this is what we do. We got Mardi Gras every year. We got Jazz Fest every year. I mean, we love to host. We love to show people Southern hospitality, New Orleans hospitality, show them our great food. Like, most cities are like, tourist, get out of here, right?

Like, we're like, hey, we embrace you. Come, we're going to show you a great time, the great music, the great venues, the great food. The Superdome is right up the road. You got the Mississippi River right here. We got Shad Khan's yacht right over here. Have you gotten an invite to Shad Khan's yacht? Have you seen Shad Khan's yacht? Is that the 300-foot yacht that's literally in the Mississippi River?

The owner of the Jaguars? Yes, sir. Yes, yes. So, I've been on that yacht when I took a vacation for New Year's to St. Barth's.

What? Yeah, St. Barth's. That's where all the billionaires go. I got invited, and, you know, I don't have a billion dollars. I'm working on it. That's why I'm on the show.

You've been all night long. But I've been on it for a party in St. Barth's before. And it's Kissimmee, right? The Kissimmee yacht? Isn't that the name of the yacht?

I don't know. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. And it's been in a couple movies, as well. So, I've been on it one time. It's fabulous, man. It's beautiful.

Speaking of pickleball, I think it has pickleball court, padelle court, sauna, pull tub. As all yachts should have. All the good stuff, yeah. And so, you know, this Super Bowl, obviously has a potential historic ring to it because of what's going on with the Chiefs. What do you say, Gronk, to anybody who thinks that the Chiefs are closing in on the Patriots dynasty right now? Well, I don't think they're closing in on just everything that we've accomplished through our dynasty because it was over two decades. I mean, you had that first dynasty decade from 2002, kind of like the 2010. It started in the Superdome, by the way.

Yes, yes, it did right here when Tom won his very first one. And then it trickled into the second decade, which, you know, with myself, Julian, and those type of guys, Devin McCourty. But what they have done over the last 10 years, I believe it's the best decade of dominance for a dynasty, especially if they get the three-peat because that means they've won four over the last 10 years. And the Patriots, they did three and three. So, you got to give them credit for the best decade dynasty, but overall, it's not the best dynasty over a length of time yet.

And they can, you know, they can do it. They still have the chance. I mean, Andy Reid can still coach another 10 years. Patrick Mahomes can play another 10 years. And then they can have the best dominance of a dynasty over two decades. But so far, it's still the Patriots, baby. And, you know, your records are too many to mention, Drew. There's a gajillion of them. But you see what Mahomes is doing before he's even 30 years old.

How does that hit you as your wife? Look, I mean, I think that's what's so remarkable about this. The guy has started for seven years. He's got seven conference championship games, and he's playing in his fifth Super Bowl. I mean, so if you take that and if you could spread that over the course of a body of work that spans 18, 20 years, like, look, I think the conversation with, you know, Brady and Mahomes right now. Look, Brady played 23 seasons, right, 10 Super Bowl appearances, seven Super Bowl wins. I think what Mahomes has accomplished in his first seven years is certainly unprecedented. If they win three in a row, unprecedented.

But I think the body of work is kind of what you have to look at. And, honestly, I think, I mean, how many could this guy win, right, if you start looking at the next 10 years? And it's going to be with different eras. Like, at some point, he's going to lose Travis Kelce, right? And he's going to have to basically do it with a whole new cast of guys. And yet, as long as he is the guy pulling the trigger, you know, at the helm, and then with an Andy Reid or someone who's, you know, kind of orchestrating all of that, man, this could last for a while.

Drew Brees, Rob Gronkowski here. Bounty in the wingman campaign. So who's the wingman, or you're both the wingman?

What do we got here? He's the man, and I'm the wingman. So, you know, Grock's been the guy for bounty for three years now, right? I've been the bounty man.

He's been the bounty man. But he saw Super Bowl was in New Orleans. He's never been to New Orleans, like, to hang out.

He's been here to play games, but he's never been here to hang out, so he's like, who should I call if I want, you know, somebody to really kind of show me around town? So next thing I know, Grock calls me and says, hey, will you be my wingman in New Orleans? And you are. I was like, well, this sounds dangerous. I said, let me make sure I know what I'm getting into here.

Yes. But eventually, I accepted. And so I'm Grock's wingman here. It's been fun, man. It's been a lot of fun. That's why I'm more tame today, because he kind of used all my energy over the last two nights. You kind of warm out, man, you know?

I blame my wingman right there. We're marathons now. It's much calmer now. I mean, isn't the Fox pregame, like, four something hours?

It's five hours on Sunday as well, so. You got to get through that. Yeah, I do, man. I got to find that juice.

I got to dig deep. Maybe a wing can help. Yeah, I probably need a wing with some blue cheese. Well, I know this. Hold on. Let me try one.

Yeah, go ahead and get one. Well, obviously, you got some bounty there to wipe your hands off. Look, you can't have football without wings, and you can't have wings without bounty, so. That's right.

Look at you, Breeze. Is that good? Hey, was that?

Was that? That's delicious, man. Like, what's the temperature? What's the temperature?

Here you go. It's between hot and lukewarm. Yeah? So it's good doable.

Very doable. It's like you don't want to wait another five more minutes, because I know you're a little chilly. Straight out of the air fryer? Oh, yeah. Oh, oh.

Here you go. I'm the wingman here, past some bounty. You want me to get that? Make sure that your hand... This is the... This is what wing... This is what wingmen do for each other, you know? That's right. Yeah, this is... You guys seen the commercial yet?

I can't wait to see it. We need Reggie. We're missing Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush was... Okay.

He was winning an Oscar in that. Well, it's good to have you here, guys. I appreciate you guys stopping by here. Have you given your prediction yet, or you got to wait till... Yeah, well, I've been wrong over the last two years. I actually chose against the Chiefs, so I can't do that three years in a row, so I'm going with the Kansas City Chiefs to score 30 and the Philadelphia Eagles to score 26, and I'm going to go even deeper into it.

Yeah. It's going to be 26-23. There's going to be two minutes left, and Patrick Mahomes is going to drive down the field and score a touchdown. They're going to kick the extra point to make it 30 to 26. And that's a very specific prediction. What about you, Drew Brees?

What about you? Well, I think Saquon is going to go off. He's going to do what he does. Yeah. I think it's going to take away a couple possessions from the Chiefs, and it's going to cause them to get a little bit, like, you know, kind of press a little bit.

Yeah. And so I think the Eagles are going to take... They're going to be up 10 in the fourth, and then the Chiefs are going to come roaring back... Look at this....to tie this thing. I'm on the edge of my seat.

But the last possession is going to go to the Eagles to drive down with a game-winning kick opportunity, and I don't know what's going to happen after that. Oh, man. Right to the end. Oh, man. That was a thriller.

That was a thriller. Great to have you here. By the way, you missed a spot. It's on Gronk's left side of his brain right there.

There you go. Now Gronk's ready for the rest of the game. That's my wingman. That's why I got him.

Mounting in the wingman campaign. Thank you, Drew Brees. Thank you, Rob Gronkowski, right here on the Rich Eisen Show.

Why not? On the program. Finishing up strong here. What's your favorite part of today's show so far? Oh, my goodness.

What do you got? You repeatedly sang nuts to Deion while he's got the tackle box of almonds in front of you. That was fun. And then him kind of losing his mind.

Like, that was really funny. Yeah. I mean, you know, for me, it's any time I get to sit and, you know, be adjacent to Emmitt Smith based upon my love of the Cowboys, my belief that he's the greatest running back of all time, and the fact that that record will stand till the end of time, you know, any time I get to kind of be able to chop it up with Emmitt.

Man, Emmitt was really passionate today about the state of the Cowboys. Right. Yeah, I know. No doubt about that.

844204 Rich, normally the number to dial. We're going to be back on Monday in Los Angeles. Yeah, buddy.

Can't wait for that. Well, I kind of can wait, Rich, because Monday signifies the end. You know what I mean? Like, it's over, Chris. You know, it's done.

You know, it's funny. The offseason is so long. It's seven months between the Super Bowl and then the kickoff to the next season. And then once the season starts, there's all the excitement, and it's Labor Day, and you're just like, here we go. I mean, we were at the opening kickoff in Kansas City. We were all at the game. And it seemed like last week. And the season is a blur.

It's a blink. That's why I'm like, Monday is going to be cool, but it's also like, ah, okay. What do we do now? Well, it's over. It's done. All right.

So, tonight is the, well, today is the final media availability for the coaches. Right. That's all done and finished with.

Yep. And then now it's just sitting there and hoping nobody runs off to Mexico, you know, or nothing happens. Stubs a tow in their hotel.

Nothing happens at all. And then suddenly we got ourselves a game in the Superdome. And it's time to figure that stuff out. Are you ready for your game predictions right here? Oh, baby, we're doing it finally? I think so. We've been hinting at it for all, you know, the whole week.

I think so. Chris Long, we almost, you know, gave up the goose to Chris Long, like, back on Tuesday. By the way, he did not tell us his pick. He said, Rich, that he was going to tell us who he was taking in the Super Bowl and his pick while we were at the Kelsey party on Wednesday. You and I were at the party. Sorry, TJ. We saw Chris Long.

We consumed several beverages. And he did not tell us his pick. I'm so disappointed. But it feels like he's leading Eagles.

It feels that way. He doesn't have to tell you his pick. We already know who his pick.

He's going with the Eagles. It's totally obvious. But also he's got his own show where he wants to... Right, of course. I mean, he was cozying up to Big Dom, like, the whole night.

So it's like, fine. Didn't you say you were looking for you? You loved meeting him? Big Dom, Jake, our social guy, is a huge Eagles fan. Big Dom walked in and I'm like, Jake, just go ask him for a photo. You're freaking out. I get it.

Ask him for a photo. I'll take it. And he did. We're back on the radio side. Welcome to the Rich Eisen Show.

We're still in New Orleans. Rich Eisen, take it away. OK, let's get to our game predictions. It's now time to get this thing done. It's now time to put up or shut up right now.

Yes. It is now time for us to have our big game predictions presented by Turbo Tax. There you go. There's our game picks presented by Into a Turbo Tax now. Are you ready for the prediction?

TJ Jefferson, your first up. Let's go. Let's go.

All right. Well, you know, guys, all year I've been saying this when you were saying how the Chiefs, they may have gotten lucky. The refs may have been on their side blah blah woo woo. And my thing always was this when the game comes down to you when it comes on the end of the game and the Chiefs are down by two points, six points, seven points in my homes, guys, the ball and a little bit of time. Do you really think he's not going to get it done? No, I know that he's going to get done.

So there's what I'm looking at guys. It's going to be maybe a minute and 47 seconds left in the game. Chiefs have two touchdowns. The score is 3427. I see my homes leading the Chiefs down the field. They score the winning touchdown.

They hoist up the Vince Lombardi Trophy 34 32 Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes gets the MVP MVP is Hollywood Hollywood Brown. I'm sorry. Are you going Hollywood Brown? I changed it. Let me let me refresh. Yes, my bad Hollywood Brown. I did.

I had my homes is first and then I change my email. Wow, I think because what you said earlier about Hollywood Brown, he missed half the season, right? So he he's fresh and I just feel like I know Brockman. He's looking up the odds, right?

Brockman 65 to 1. I'm going to have to put something down now. Yeah, my like I said, I put my homes on an earlier email. Okay. I just don't think there's any chance on this green Earth that a receiver will get it over VP and my homes doesn't get well. The reason I did that was people would go.

Oh, it's so easy that you pick my homes and I'm like truce. That's why I did I switch it to Hollywood because I feel like we don't talk about that guy and I just I don't know what man. I think he's going to be special. All right, Chris, do you go?

I want to be super consistent. I've been talking about this for months. I think when we look back on the 2024 season, we are going to remember the greatness of Saquon Barkley and the supremely outstanding special season that he had the 2,000 yards. He has a chance if he has a nice a nice game on Sunday, which I think he will to have 3,000 total yards of offense like that in a season 3,000 that is unbelievable and unheard of. I think Jalen Hurts gets it done. I think they turn the Mahomes over a little bit and the Chiefs struggle, but it's a hot but it is a high-scoring exciting game. And so maybe Mahomes has a chance to win it at the end. Maybe he turns it over or maybe Philly just runs away with it.

I am flying Eagles fly Philadelphia 3123 your MVP Saquon Barkley. Okay. Wow, hey Rich cut one more thing. Yes, eight times. Patrick Mahomes has gone up against a Vic Fangio led defense, whether as the defense coordinator or the head coach Patrick Mahomes is 8 and 0.

Listen, I don't know if that changes. I've got I've got, you know, 56 records are made to be broken right here that that Mahomes is probably half this book that right here from NFL. He's incredible and the Chiefs are incredible.

I mean, look, I'm sure I'm going to get some hate for that. I'm just saying like everyone has said it this week on paper the roster. The Eagles are better and literally everyone said I don't understand what's the Chiefs have 15 and the Chiefs have Big Red and those guys are obviously first ballot Hall of Famers mad respect lots of love. I just think it's Philly's time.

All right. So what you Richard J chose the Chiefs with an Eagles football in front of him and Chris chose the Eagles with the Chiefs football in front of them. It's now time for me to break the tie. It would be positively insane for me to reverse course after sitting here since the Tuesday after Labor Day on which I predicted on our show from the beginning later on that night on the NFL game day season kickoff show that the Kansas City Chiefs would in fact be the 3p champions of this league and I saw then and I'm seeing it now and I didn't see a 15 win regular season.

That's for sure. They didn't see all of the downs with mostly the 15 ups that they had didn't see all of that. But what I envision is another night where Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have a night and that the rest of the team does the situationally brilliant stuff that we've seen from them over the last two seasons over the last regular season that we've seen and I think that the Chiefs are winning this football game and they're going to win it with yet another 30 burger. I'm actually having them put 30 points up. I have a 32-26 final.

I don't know why just these this this score came to me interesting and I'm I'm not overthinking it man. No Patrick Mahomes is going to be the MVP and he's going to join Shaq and Michael Jordan as the only human beings to win the MVP of their sports championship game or championship rounds three years in a row and Mahomes is now going to join the pantheon of Jordan and Shaq and you know Kobe and LeBron and he's already there with Curry is going to join the pantheon of Bradshaw and well that's right before he's even 30 years old. I think that everyone needs to kind of prepare themselves for that. Certainly if they're part of the United States of America that has the Chiefs fatigue, you know get ready for it or you know, and and I did go Taylor Swift at the end right there and those are our 2025 Super Bowl game picks presented by TurboTax hand off your taxes to a TurboTax full-service expert this year.
