Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. This is the Rich Eisen Show. James!

That was sweet! Head out! 42 for Kyrie! Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Intercepted!

Picked off by Cooper DeJean! Just hearing that back, what goes through your mind? It's crazy. It's crazy.

It still doesn't feel real to me. Where is the football? Hopefully one of our football guys has it. Earlier on the show, former NFL General Manager Mike Mayock. NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero. Coming up, comedian Chris DiStefano. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Hour number three of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air. Not to get too deep to start this hour, but when you meet somebody in Los Angeles, and they come to your house, and they come to your house in the pouring rain, you just become BFFs.

You know what I mean? Almost immediately. Almost on the spot. So the fact that Chris DiStefano is coming here. Yes, he's got his new Hulu comedy special. Chris DiStefano is just unfortunate to promote.

It's available on Hulu, which is available on Roku. But Chris, you came here in the rain. And that is, that's like, we should like have a blood bond right now. And we do.

Here's why we do. First of all, we came here in the rain. I came here in the rain. We were talking off air. I felt the vibe in here immediately. Because what we all have in common here, everyone who works for this show, we're all original 13 colonists.

We're all New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. And what I do is, you're not going to get in the way of freedom for me, as our founding fathers didn't let freedom get in the way of them. I said a little rain's not going to stop me from getting on this show and talking about what needs to be talked about is that the British are tyrants. By the way, still a hot take though.

Still a hot take. You know, every time I see a person walking towards me in a red coat, I punch him in the stomach. And that's how I am.

I'm Chrissy Freedom, Chrissy Constitutions. And it's just, no. And you know, dude, and I got to just be honest with you. This shirt, first of all, this shirt that I'm wearing right now, I had another shirt that I was going to put on a much nicer shirt. But it had a ketchup stain on it when I took it out this morning. And there's nothing you can do. So I said, you know what?

I'm going to come in with my shirt that I bought in Zara at the Staten Island Mall. Did you really? Where you're from. Are you serious? Yeah. And anyone who's talking crap right now at home saying Chrissy D is wearing a shirt that's inside out.

It's designed to look like it's inside out, but it's actually on the right way. So say that to my face and we'll get punched, especially if you're from London. Wear a red coat. Wear a red coat.

I'll pop you dude. Don't you dare approach this man in a red coat. Don't do it. Unless you want what's coming to you for the last 250 years. That's it.

Give me rich eyes or give me death. Who knew? This is a very schoolhouse rock, odd schoolhouse rock way of starting this show. That's how we roll, dude. We're in here. Is that really from the Staten Island Mall?

Dude, the one thing I won't do on this show is lie to you. This is from the Staten Island Mall. Shout out to Staten Island Mall. Shout out to Verrazano Bridge. How much does it cost to cross that now? It costs about $19 to cross that puppy.

This shirt is less expensive. Seriously. It's so expensive to cross the Verrazano Bridge or you can just, I mean, just drive with an American flag outside your car and get in for free. That's the type of people Staten Island are. That's what we are.

I will tell you, I can tell you what color Staten Island voted. That's so funny, man. This guy. That's I, baby. I used to have a thick New York accent. It's gone now, pretty much. Unless you cut me off in traffic, then it'll come out.

It's unfortunate. We'd like to get the accent back for you. You know what?

It can, it just sometimes slips back in. Because now you've lost your accent so much that now you just sound like a woman from Staten Island. Janet Rossi in four acts. Janet Rossi. Yes. You know, he's lost it. She's a, okay, I can't finish.

Don't finish. Oh, yeah. But yeah, dude. But now you're out here.

You're living in L.A. Yes. And we lost another one. This whole crew. We lost you guys should be back on Varick Street in the old studio with Artie Lang.

Nice. And we need you to come back to New York. We need you guys back there. I can go back.

I want you to come back. It's like slipping into an old shoe. At least do a week in New York. What are we out here to buy LAX? That's pretty fun.

That's pretty fun. So what is just unfortunate? What's so unfortunate, Chris? Well, to be honest with you, I couldn't think of a title for the special.

And I kept watching the special back and I said, you know, every five seconds, it's like I have a tick. I'll do a joke and I'll go, it's just unfortunate. And I said, I'm going to name it.

It's just unfortunate. The Hulu people were like, is that really what you want to name it? I said, yeah. And they said, what are you going to do when you go on your press run and you have to have like a story for the title? I said, I'm just going to tell the truth, because that's what the founding fathers did. So I'm just going to tell the truth and tell you.

You can't tell a lie like George Washington. Exactly. My daughter named my last special on another network that rhymes with Netflix. Yes. I had another special.

Yes. And she named that one. She was seven at the time and she named it Speshy Weshy. And I was like, all right, I like that. And then when I asked her this time, what do you want to name this special? She said, Speshy Weshy 2. And I said, well, you can't think of a better name. And she was like, I can't think of anything. So I was like, all right, I'm just going to call it just unfortunate. But it's also to like the state of the world, I guess.

I don't know. But it's not. Everything's positive. Here's the truth, folks. I'm getting a little sick and tired of people out there online saying that America's not number one by a landslide.

Make absolutely no mistake. This country's number one by a landslide. And I'm talking to you, Greenland.

We'll take you. I had no idea you'd come in here and smack talk Greenland. That's what it is. That's what it is. I'm telling you. And I want to do I want to be the first comic to do a show in Greenland.

OK. I want to do it because my girl's Puerto Rican. My whole family's Puerto Rican. My wife's Puerto Rican. I love being Puerto. So for me, it's like that's who I love. I love the people of like anything that's a U.S. territory.

I want to see what you're saying. Oh, Greenland. I was about to say I didn't I don't know how many Puerto Rican individuals are in Greenland.

They're the Puerto Ricans of the Arctic and we want them. No idea. OK. Yeah. You know, I thought was just unfortunate.

Chris is your take on you can root for both the Mets and the Yankees at the same time. Now, that's unfortunate. Here's the truth. Did you really mean that when you were on Rogan's podcast? You said that. And I saw that. And I'm like, get out of here.

I know I did. Well, first of all, you're on Joe Rogan's podcast. You're on DMT or mushrooms or some type of.

It's like you don't even know that you're on it. You just walk in and, you know, noted. He's yeah.

I was going to the vents. So you say wild stuff there. But I here's how I feel. OK, first of all, born and raised in New York. Right. In Queens.

Yes, indeed. My parents were divorced. You could tell by my overall demeanor.

I'm not. I come from I come from a broken home. And so my dad got thrown out of the house all the way on to Staten Island. My mom hurled him in the divorce.

That's how much he lost. He got thrown onto the island. So so we threw him off to Staten Island and I stayed in Queens.

But my dad's such a great dad. Born and raised in the Bronx. He was a diehard Yankee fan.

Of course. Son has to be Yankee fan. But then my mother's here in Queens being like, but we're from Queens as the Mets. So I always had this little civil war going on inside of me.

But then I said, you know what? I'm going to be, you know, Yankees were in the 90s. I was a kid, impressionable, winning, winning, winning Yankees. Then as I get a little older, all my friends are Mets fans growing up in Queens. I'm the only odd guy out. And then what happens is then it gets personal. Here's the thing. You can yell at me out there.

Maybe you're honking your horn. You're saying this kid's got an inside out shirt. He roots for both the Mets and the Yankees.

I hate this kid. And here's what here's the difference is I with comedy got to a point where I actually got to meet and become friendly with the family that owns the Mets. They're comedy fans.

So they were always in the comedy clubs. Now is this the Wilpons before? The Cohen family. Steve Cohen owns the Mets. OK, then the current owner of the Mets.

The current owner of the Mets. So I started going to games and they started you know, I did a comedy show for his birthday party. I bombed in front of the entire Cohen family. Somebody hit me with a scallop. It's a whole thing.

But I do it. I bought when I tell you I bombed in a way like you can't imagine in front of Steve Cohen and his family at his family birthday party. But it was so it was one of those bombs that it was so bad that they kind of we all just started laughing about what a mistake it was to have a comedian. And then I guess it just ingratiated me with them. And now we're like friends. And so that's how bad you bombed that it worked. Sometimes it did a reverse.

It got so bad that it actually turned out good. And so he actually told me, he said, I'll give you I'll start. I will give you money right now to stop. He's like, what did my wife book you for? I told him the number.

He goes, I'll double it right now if he stopped right now. And I said, done. That's how he signed Juan Soto, too. Yeah. Well, so this is the thing, though, too. And I don't think here's what I was getting to the Yankees.

Right. I still I'm a New York guy. I'm always about New York first. OK, I'm New York first. I don't subscribe. I don't like, you know, the Cowboys or the Red Sox.

Fine. But I'm New York first always. And I'm really about wherever you're from, that you should be a fan of that team. Like my father's not going to trust you if you're from Boston. But you're like, I like the Yankees. He's like, you're you're a traitor. Yes.

Well, you're I don't I want you nowhere near me. Correct. So so for me, though, it got personal because the Mets took me in and gray shaded me, all that.

And then I start going to Mets games and the people at the Yankees start telling me I can't do both. That's correct. No, but here's the thing.

Chris, that is correct. Let me just interject here, because your your story, first of all, it tugged at my heartstrings to start. I'm here to talk to you about your about. Thank you.

About your broken home. You know what I mean? And that and that and that the person I see sitting here in an inside out looking shirt. Yeah.

Bought from the Zara on the Staten Island with cargo pants that you have that you have that you have emotional scars. OK. And I understand that, which makes sense that you would have some sort of a delusional sense that you can choose between neither the Mets and the Yankees when it's all said and done that you root for New York. Like, you know, you're you're you're handing out pamphlets outside of Empire State Building, you know, and all that sort of stuff. Hey, go go ride the ferry. Right.

You know, go see the Statue of Liberty. You're Mr. New York. Right.

You have to choose between one or two. I'm sorry. But the thing is, I understand it. You're friends with Steve Cohen, by the way.

That would make me a Mets fan on the spot. Right. He's a very rich man.

He's very influential. That's what I'm saying. Right away, if you were friends with them and then and then the Yankees start like, you know, kind of treated me like a second class citizen, then it becomes personal. And then and here's the other thing that happened for this. Sure. I go on the field right with the Mets owner family. They bring me on the Yankees, Mets.

Right. Me in Yankee Stadium. I'm a guest of the Mets. Beautiful thing on the field. Love it. I'm with my stepson, big baseball fan.

We're having a good time. Yes. My stepson goes and tries to put his hands on the dirt. Right.

Hand in the dirt. Nice. Right. The Yankees security runs off, sprints over and starts screaming at my stepson, like in his face to the point where I was like, you're this close to getting frickin' one, two. You can't talk to him like that. How old is he?

Thirteen. OK. And, you know, I said, you can't like he was screaming. And then the Cohen family, who I was with, were like, hey, you know, it's OK. Like we were the owner's family in the Mets. And then the security guard starts yelling at them. And I said, what the hell?

So the Cohen family then, because, you know, my son was a stepson was upset. They gave him a jar of dirt from Citi Field and they said, this is for you. So I said, so now it's personal. And then I got to be honest with you.

And this is just I don't have any proof of this. But do you know in the rumors when Juan Soto signed with the Mets over the Yankees and it was this there was a rumor over there that said there was a security guard that disrespected. I guarantee you it was if it was this guy. The way that this guy got in our face, I was like, bro, you are close right now. I mean, you're so I might backhand you like the red jacket would have been over. That's it.

I think I think you learned the hard way. The only 13 year old is allowed to touch the Yankee Stadium mound dirt is Danny Almonte when he was really 16. I mean, like that's that's the only year when he's reaching over and stealing a home run. Damn straight. Damn straight. Don't forget that you forget yourself.

Yes. Although the respect to your stepson. But, you know, you could see the Met fan in the corner. I actually can't see him because he's in the worst place when you could possibly be in the studio. I know. But there's T.J. Jefferson, our resident Met fan.

See, T.J., right? He uses me of being a spurned lover, because I've never seen a man so mad about a comment like, well, the comment. No, the comment I had that that Juan Soto said that infuriated me is that he signs with the Mets. Right. OK. And I understand he might have been disrespected by this, you know, clearly angry individual.

I don't know what this guy's problem was. Exactly. He said that it's a Mets town. New York is a Mets town. OK. Now, I mean, come on now. I'm going to be honest with you.

OK. It's not. It's not a Mets town. But I still do love the Mets. But I'm going to be completely honest with you here, folks. I mean, it is the opposite of a Mets town.

It is 100 percent a Yankees town. But that's OK. But so that's wild to say. But I still, if I was him and this security guard disrespected.

If they if the way they talk to my stepson, they talk to his family, I wouldn't I'm not signing with this team. So I respect it. But yes, Juan Soto. Yeah, it is.

It's not a Mets town. Exactly. Exactly.

Because you can understand why he said it. And then he shows up like this. Yeah. You know, like, look at me. I'm the biggest ever. Right.

And I'm in a Mets town. Yeah. Yeah, I know that wasn't. And yeah. And it's one because Juan Soto is absolutely ripped, but he just looks like he has the body of my dad in this picture.

We have no idea what happened. I think bleach report. Do we have the other one, too? Mike Hoskins, where he's looking for it because we noticed the original photograph. Yeah.

Somebody made the belly look bigger. Right. They that's Mets fans. Oh, Yankees fans.

Yankees fans. Yeah. Trying to. Yeah. Because, yeah, I'll show you. You're a Mets town. You fatty.

You know, like the sort of. Here's what I will say, though. This for me only applies to baseball. I am a I am a New York Giants football fan.

I don't hate the Jets, but I'm not I don't go hard. That's that's that's understandable. That's different. And here's what I'll say. I'm a diehard New York.

No. Well, here's the thing. New York Knicks. I'm a diehard New York Knicks fan.

And I got to be honest with you. Yes, sir. If you are the Brooklyn Nets. OK, if you're from New Jersey, you're exempt.

Fine. But if you're an adult, that's a Brooklyn Nets fan. I need you to stay away from me and my family. There's something a little weird about you. Brooklyn Nets fans are either for people who know nothing about sports. OK, people who are a little weird and creepy or children. If you're an adult and you're sitting here looking at me saying I root for the Brooklyn Nets.

I'm going to say you're I'm going to call the FBI. There's something I don't like about you. Or, you know, absolutely zero about sports.

Right. The Brooklyn Nets. I don't know why they're there. It's like either stay in New Jersey or just merge and become the Knicks. Just be the Nets, Knicks. Nobody cares about them. I mean, I couldn't I get offered Brooklyn Nets tickets all the time.

Why would I go? You don't even know who's on the team. Did you go to the Knicks games? Yeah.

Yeah. You're like, I actually don't know who's on the even when Durant was on the team. It didn't make a difference at all in our city. We were like, OK, the Knicks are not playing well. That's all we care about. We don't care that Durant's on the Knicks. If he was on the Knicks, we would have stopped traffic. Yeah. But if you go watch Cam Thomas play and stop by the Arowan on the way home. It's like, stop it.

In a very nice section of Brooklyn. That's it, dude. So, yeah. So but I love I love my Knicks. They're playing really well.

I mean, come on, dude. Karl Anthony Towns. The best. Has been phenomenal. Jalen Brunson is one of my favorite Knicks of all time.

And he's with you. This team is I mean, I know the 90s were the 90s that that Knicks team. But I personally think I know I was listening to sports this morning and they were saying that the Knicks can't come close to the Celtics or the Cavs. And I was like, I think actually they can. Let's see. I really do think they can play it out. Yeah. Let's hope everybody's healthy.

And, you know, OGN and OBI comes back on failing him right now and they'll all start breaking all up. And let's go. Yeah. Oh, geez. Got the best legs in the business.

Look at OG's Cavs. What do you mean? His cat.

When you see him up close, his legs are is like, say, Quan Barkley. Are you going to Madison Square Garden calf hunting or what? Yes, I am. I'm a calf hunter. That's my category. Maybe that should have been your the name of your special.

Is it too late to change it? Oh, calf hunter would be an amazing name for a staff. That's awesome. He's just going to Madison Square Garden, peeping OG's calf. Yeah. Chris, you turn into Johnny Drama looking at it, looking at Lamar Odom's calf. Yes. That's what I do.

That's really what I do. I mean, honestly, I saw the Knicks Lakers a couple of weeks ago and I just couldn't stop looking at LeBron's waist to shoulder ratio. I was like, this guy's put together.

This guy, LeBron is he's in shape. The kid looks good. He's not. He's a mate.

Jack. No, the thing is, you know how it is. You know, if you remember from New York, you get called a kid during your late 90s. Everyone's just a kid. So but he LeBron, you know, it was amazing to watch him.

I mean, I've never seen a guy that put together perfect, perfect human being. And then the opposite of that, I think we did find the the Juan Soto photographs that was from. Yeah. B.R.

from Bleacher Report walk off. Yeah. Look at that. That is. And then and then the and then the or the original look see less. And then somebody went Bartolo Cologne and then and then Soto. I mean, rule number one is you don't throw a baseball jersey over a turtleneck. You know, that's what we learned that day one. Give me a break.

What are you doing? Certainly not in New York. It's a friggin' Mets town. Get out of here with this. Dude, I can't. Yeah, I can't have it. You can't come to the press conference dressed like a psychiatrist.

The turtleneck on Steve. I've just said this. I was my head's too big. Right now.

Physically dumb head. You're talking right now. No, I don't mind. It's the thing.

I look good. It's the shirt. It is. Shout out to Staten Island Expressway.

Ladies and gentlemen. That's my life. That's what I grew up. But when I went to the to the Staten Island mall, the garbage dump was still open across the street. Yeah. Are you are you guys aware of the world's largest garbage is on Staten Island? I'm aware it's now since closed. They since closed it and they're now like sodding over the trash heaps.

It's going to be a great ski resort in like twenty thirty five. Yeah. But when I was a kid, you would go to the mall and you would see the seagulls over right over the horizon, picking at the trash, which if it was blowing, you know, which always was from New Jersey, it would stink. It was the worst. It was the worst. I would grow up and I would still go to the mall because my grades were excellent.

I got free video game plays, you know, in the mall. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. And the Staten Island garbage dump was notorious. That's where the mafia would dump their bodies.

That was the spot. And they when they started cleaning it up, they had to stop. It took them because they made it like a park now a little bit like it's a little. But they had to stop like every six months. And the the the progress, you know, they had to keep delaying the opening because they would have to stop because they found like bones. And then they have to call the FBI.

It's a whole process. Same thing when they built MetLife Stadium. That took so much longer because that was where the mob used to dump the bodies. So they had to stop every 10 feet.

They're stopping. I emceed the ground turning, you know, moment in the new MetLife Stadium. Yeah. OK. We're in the parking lot, the old giant stadium. OK. And I was there and the governors of New York and New Jersey were there. The owners of the Jetson Giants were there. The commissioner of the NFL was there. They asked me to emcee the moment where we're going to just stick a shovel in the ground and turn it.

And I I I said that we are here to have break new ground and we'll see if we find Jimmy Hoffa here. Yeah. Yeah.

And nobody left. Right. Honestly, however you bombed Steve Cohen's birthday party. Yeah. I bombed worse at that moment. Right. The only problem for me is it wasn't so bad that it became good. Right. It was bad. It was just bad. But I couldn't resist.

Right. How can I resist? How can you resist? You got to say it. And then they looked at the shovel and there was part of a skull in the dirt. And they were like, oh, actually, we have to call the police. Wait a minute.

Call clickrainger.com or just stop by. Hey, listen, we are now 203 days, but who's counting away from the Eagles opening the 2025 season with a banner raise against fill in the blank. And did you see what the Eagles schedule is next year? Dude, why they got tough road games. They are. Well, they the NFC East is playing the AFC West next year and the NFC North. Oh, so very difficult schedule. They're all on that.

Yeah. So they're also, I mean, obviously at Dallas, but at Green Bay, at Kansas City, at Chargers, at Vikings. Home for the Lions.

And, you know, I think that's who they're opening up against. I think it's Lions, Lions, Eagles at the Bucks. Really tough road schedule. First place schedule. And the year for the NFC East as it rotates in conference and at a conference, they're out of conference division that they're playing is the AFC West at bills as well. And in conferences at NFC North. And they play the bills because you always take on a first place team. If you're a first place team in somebody else's conference, that's the 17th regular season game.

If you will, that's been added and that rotates as well. And next year it's the AFC East for the NFC East. So the second place team in the third place team play the. So I guess the Dolphins would play the the commanders, for instance, for a 17th regular season game. The Eagles. Yeah. Dolphins like the Eagles have a really tough schedule next year. They should. Well, I hear you.

They're the best. You just have easy ones after you. Because wouldn't you say the toughest division in the NFC is the NFC North, right? I think we've all agreed on that despite two teams making the playoffs in the NFC East and they played each other for the conference championship. I understand that, but I'm talking top to bottom with all due respect to the Dallas Cowboys are very close and not in a drought. You know, and then the AFC West, you've got the defending champs of the last two years there. Crazy. Well, I bring all this up to say that while we're waiting for that season to begin.

What's the words for it? We're bored. You know, there's a nice combine in the draft to keep us all occupied. And then we'll find out when the schedule comes out, when when the Eagles play these teams and on what channel and things in what order. Right. I mean, the schedule come out in May. The reason why I'm bringing this up is on occasion, there will be just a tweet that sets things a frenzy because we're bored. Well, we're waiting.

Thank you, Judge Smale, to make my point. So today, why was Trevor Lawrence trending this morning, Christopher? You even sent the tweet to everybody in our text. Yeah, well, you know, I was be bopping around and this morning coming down and I saw that Trevor Lawrence was trending. I'm like, that's odd. Why?

Why is he trending? And, you know, someone named Ryan Burr, no relation to Aaron. Are you sure about that?

Perhaps. What about Bill? Said that the Steelers had contacted the Jags about Trevor Lawrence and they're trying to work out a deal. And I'm like, what? So then I came in and I was like, maybe we should do a top five of like outrageous possibilities that may or may not happen this offseason. And I think it's a great idea.

And then I immediately came up with one. But Tom Pellicero threw complete cold water on it last hour, saying the Steelers have not made a single phone call to Jacksonville. And on top of it, Jacksonville does not have a general manager to field these calls right now.

And Liam Cohen didn't take this job and leave Tampa in the lurch to take the job just to start from scratch and trade Trevor Lawrence. Right. So I immediately said, let's not do that. Top five.

Oh, wait a minute. I thought, actually, it's even better to do this top five now. Top five, most shocking possible offseason moves presented by Hyundai. One, two, three, four, five, richest top five.

All right. These would be the top five most shocking potential offseason moments. Number five involves Myles Garrett. Now, Myles Garrett, as we all know, says I want out. He came to our show first at the Super Bowl, which was great.

That was great. And, you know, it was great to have him. And he was very honest. And apparently some of his people were also very honest as they were being driven away from our set.

At any rate, that said, long story short, I miss long story short. Myles Garrett then went on ESPN and said what he said on our show and even tripled down that he wants out now. And so number five on this list of most shocking possible offseason moves is Myles Garrett willingly stays with the Browns. That would be shocking.

It would it would be like, well, what was that all about then? You know, I don't think this is going to happen. I think he's going to get his way.

He's going to get out and we will find out. So it would be now shocking if he stays. Not if, like, hey, he's traded to I could give you fill in the blank. That would be shocking. And I know like any any AFC team would be shocking, but he's staying would be the shocker. Number four on this list. Another big time trade that would come out of nowhere.

Right. How about the Seahawks trade DK Metcalf to Pete Carroll, who then goes ahead and signs Russell Wilson? And gets the gang back together to cook in Vegas. I really like that one.

Huh? How about I really like that. How about DK goes to Vegas? They could use him. You're hearing all this conversation that maybe DK isn't as I think he's available as you write as as solid and footing in Seattle.

J.S. and Jackson Smith and Jigba was phenomenal last year. Doesn't play the same type of football as DK Metcalf. But what if DK gets traded? Pete Carroll says, I'll take him and hooks him back up with Russ and they cook for Tom Brady.

The best thing about us, though, is it's about. Yeah. Wouldn't that be shocking? You like that one? Silver and black. Let's attack. OK, I like it. We just the possibilities alone.

Black and gold. Here we go. TJ, what do you think of that one?

Just one baby. Number three on the list. TJ, be a Raider fan. Now, I know again, we're looking for our Luca trade here, right?

In the NFL. We're looking for the Luca trap. Absolutely. Out of nowhere. Shocking. Trevor Lawrence being traded. The Steelers would be a Luca.

That'd be pretty shocking. The Luca level would be up there. Well, the Luca level would be if they trade TJ Watt back to Jacksonville, right?

Now you're talking A.D. and Luca, you know, just cooking. Well, guess what? It's not going to happen. But on top of it, number three on this list is any starting quarterback gets traded to anyone. OK, just any quarterback who started significant games last year. So that could be like 40 total or Stafford, you know, name anybody gets traded to anybody. That would be shocking.

Baker. So what would be more shocking? What would be more shocking with that than that? These two number two on the list, Sam Darnold leaves the Vikings and willingly does so to sign back with the Jets. Could you imagine if something like that happens? No, we would be.

We would be the ghosts of Jets past. Aaron Glenn tells Sam things are different here, guys. All right. I've got a contract here. I'm the guy. I'm not going to be. I'm not I'm not I'm not googly guy, guys. I'm not.

I have a lot more tenure here and standing here than Todd Bowles, who is the head coach who drafted you. I'm not Salah. I'm not going to you. You saw what they just did to Salah. You know what? He's not going to fire me in the middle of the season. Just one season and like that ain't happening. So it's different here.

Come on back, Sam. That'd be pretty shocking. Number one, this would be as shocking as it gets. And the fact that it's in the realm is shocking alone.

Number one, Micah Parsons sent packing. Oh, if that happens, if that happens, let me just repeat this. If that happens. It would do. It would set things off, settle down just a little bit.

It would set things off. You know what I'm saying? That's what that would be.

Luca level shock. Yeah. In the state of Texas again. Yeah. I don't think Dallas people could handle.

No. Like, could you imagine that Micah and Luca get traded within weeks of each other? But in the end, Micah is already tweeting it. Miles Garrett to have him come to Dallas and be on the line with him.

So I don't know how Jerry pays both, but Micah knows what he's talking about. And that would be the five most shocking. All right. No, no, no, no. We need one more. All right. We'll get one more.

I mean, drop out. Just act like I'm a squirrel looking for a nut. Oh, hold on. One of my favorites. The squirrel.

Thank you. Here's one more. Aaron Rodgers does, in fact, as you know, move on from the Jets.

And he does so for the Minnesota Vikings. I don't know how this would happen. I mean, this would be. I don't know how this would happen. I don't know why it would happen.

Maybe it would be. I don't know why it would happen because we joked about this last year. Like, that's what we had that he truly does follow.

He does truly follow the far plan. First Ballot Hall of Famer as a packer. Use the Jets as a transfer portal to to go to Minnesota. But Rodgers does not have the same grinding acts as Brett Favre.

So I don't know how it would be, but Skoll Aaron Rodgers is the one more. Here, coach. There you go. That would be. Did I come up with anything? Did I miss anything? I kind of covered all the quarterback bases by saying any starting quarterback gets traded to anybody. That's one of them. I can feel it.

Yeah, that's pretty good. We haven't had a coach head trade in a while. That's over. There's no coaches being traded right now in 2025. That's not happening. It would have happened by now. It's not happening. You know, there's no I mean, I would say that the Titans trading the first overall pick would not be shocking. Not like these like this. What about Tyreek back to the Chiefs? Well, I mean, that's just an alternate universe like that's that's not happening.

Oh, that is so not happening. Pack a text in my J. What do you say?

My homes could be like, yo, bro, we need you. Yeah. No, that that's.

Hey, listen, you know, seriousness. Let me ask you this question. Chiefs take the field week one. Twenty, twenty five season with my home's a healthy Pacheco.

Travis Kelsey back one more time. Hear me out. Hollywood Brown, a healthy Rishi Rice, Xavier Worthy, year two, and they draft some dynamic kid. That's pretty good.

You can go to work with that, don't you think? Any better? Right. A better running backs. But what if what if one of the guys that they added is a running back?

What if they what if they resign? They give a little wedding of the big to Kareem Hunt. It's Pacheco Kareem Hunt, a third dynamic offensive player, maybe there or wide receiver room. I think you do.

You can't you can do a lot worse. No, I think for them, we all kind of see that offensive player needs to be on the line. I think my home's can make anyone work as a wide out. But if you ain't got time, thirty first overall pick on the best offensive lineman. Second, third round picks on.

Yeah. On these. What if they get one of those Ohio State running backs and second third round?

What if they sign a free agent? Why? Like I said, what a Cooper cup. See, see, cool.

My my coupe. By the way, that. Yes.

Right. Why don't you add him and then you draft another one if they're going to let. Are we good? Are we good with this? If you do this? You're the one who acquires Cooper Cup. Yeah. You're the one who also drafts one more weapon for Mahomes by hitting the line, maybe in free agency and the draft. What do you what do you think?

Are we are we I mean, are we on board or what? They lost two games. Exactly. Not that far. But they got their product for their downfall and throwing dirt on the grave already, man. They're far from it. They're not gone.

They're not going anywhere. By the way, my coupe at home looked at a mock draft on NFL dot com. I think it was Chad Ryder. And I send that one to you guys. No, but Coop saw it. He wanted to look at some mock drafts before going to sleep the other night. God bless my my youngest son. Dad, can you read me a mock draft at any rate? Papa. No, that's my daughter, Papa. I just like when TJ says it.

Like it's Oliver Twist in my household. Listen, I did say Chad readers, my top 10. Chad reader. Right. I did.

I did. OK, so long story short is I, I, I, I'm in the third round with him. And he, as you know, they got three rounds. Exactly.

Some of them go full seven. So I'm only seeing first, as you know, he has been taught he's been raised well in our house. All three of my children know there's two teams you root for the Michigan Wolverines and whoever plays the Ohio State. But he also understands when you go to the next level, all bets are off. He saw Trevion Henderson as a third round selection by the Patriots. And he's like, oh, dad. Oh, I got really excited at that, too.

He's like, oh, dad. Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, that would be I'd be pretty good. Yeah.

I think I think Pat's have two third rounders. I think Isaiah Bond was the other one. Oh, yeah. You saw this.

I saw. Oh, baby. There you go. Now we're now we're talking. All right. Yeah.

You know why you can't put it to bed? Because he's a punk. That's why Brett Musburger is a PUNK punk. The man is a thief. OK, Brett Musburger is a thief.

How so? Stole my line. What line was that? This is for all the tostitos. Remember that?

These are all the tostitos. Remember when he said that? Everybody in the business.

No, it's not funny. Everybody in the business knows that was my line. But he went ahead and used. That's what I always yell when I climax inside of a woman or when I'm just when I climax all by myself. Musburger knew that was my line. He used it anyway at the BCS title game.

And ever since then, now I have to yell out the ruffles have ridges and it's not it's not the same thing. So verdict. What's the verdict of all that?

What's what did you take from that? He's a punk. Musburger is a punk.

That's right. Here is Brett Musburger. How are you, Brett? Hey, Rich.

Rich, I'm great. Listen, you guys, you and the producers, you deserve. Oh, man, a pat on the back.

I'm so proud of you guys for trying to help resurrect little Jimmy Brickmeyer's career. We all know the problems. We all know the problems that he had in the past. But if anybody if anybody can help Brickmeyer, it's you, Rich.

Yeah. Well, he says that you stole all the tostitos from him. Brent, is that is that true or what do you know from back? No, I got paid. I got paid by a company to drop the name.

I got three tostitos for a week. What are you talking about? OK, what's he talking about? You know, the man's delusional.

We know he's got mental problems to break down. You know, it's really interesting because as we started these in here in Las Vegas and Brickmeyer was having trouble getting a job. So so he called our executives and, you know, I got to be perfectly honest.

Don't don't tell anybody. But we always we always talk to perspective announcers just to get an idea. Do they really know anything about sports gambling or are they just pretending? And I got to tell you, our general manager interviewed Brickmeyer and asked him about a three team parlay and our and our boy Jimmy. He thought that that was two hookers with him in a Morristown hotel room. You know, Jesus, we would have loved to help him out. Wow. But we just can't. I wish him the best. He's so delusional.

And listen, let him go at it. All the tostitos, baby. It doesn't get any better than that. We didn't we get Costas in as the third man to try and make the piece between Jim Brockmeyer and Brent Musburger.

And that's one of the best jobs in the history of our show. You know, so there's that it's not raining now. It's going to rain till late tonight. It's coming down. Yeah. I think today is pretty bad.

Yes. So watch out. That is the worst. It's still tonight.

Chris Stefano coming here in a rainstorm. That's big. That's cross. That's a commitment. Yeah. Because in L.A. it's like I can't go on. It's raining. I'm serious.

Folks around this country. That's what happens. I don't want to go to the store when it's raining. Like that's a block away. Yeah. So those are looking for nuts right now. That poor I'm still upset.

There's the map right now, if you want to. Wow. That is that's a lot of colors.

It's like the Super Bowl 1560. Back here on the Rich Eisen Show radio network. By the way, the top five most shocking possible offseason moves was presented by Hyundai.

Hyundai helps protect you and your family on the road. We put your safety first and everything else second. Jim Nance, by the way. You know, let's do that tomorrow. We'll we'll get deeper into that. He's on what the football.

We've got a whole bunch of real estate tomorrow. He wants the Tush push band. I agree. We'll discuss that later on. Everyone still check that out. You're you're a no contest wrestling pod is posted, correct? Yeah.

Yep. That came out yesterday with Roxanne. She was awesome, man. It was awesome to, you know, get a interview with someone who literally is going to be the future of the wrestling business.

So it was pretty fantastic. We like that. Same thing with no contest wrestling. Future of the future of being covering the wrestling.

I would hope so. You know, CW trying to get good at this man, trying to get good at this interview. And the Jim Jackson show is out with Ramona Shelburne talking about the lake Lakers. Laker Laker's getting it done again.

Laker. They did not get it done. They did. They got house last. I know fifth. They're they're they're fifth in the West going into what I know. You know, when we talk basketball and we put it on YouTube, a lot of people always claim that, you know, you guys don't know basketball. And one guy was telling me how wrong I was because the Lakers defense over the last two weeks, he gave me all these stats, Chris.

And then they went out and let Utah score one hundred thirty one point. Because it's engagement rich, I'm engaging, I'm telling you, I'm sharing their engagement with you to tell you that you suck and you don't know anything is completely empty engagement. It's like zero calories. It's nothing. It's gluten free because I enjoyed being able to tell that story and then saying that they gave up one hundred thirty one points. They don't care about your personal welfare.

They don't. So don't pay it any mind. Bro, you say that like I said at home and cried about it. Yes, I did. Jimmy and San Antonio, let's take Jimmy. What's up, Jimmy?

We got about a minute. OK, P.J. Rockman, I'm pairing you guys against each other, but it's for a good cause. Yeah. In the words of previous big Stefano from Queens Staten Island.

Yes, that's Yankees countrymen. Lend me your ears. Nice.

Micah Parsons traded to the Patriots for the fourth round pick in the Cowboys. Take Travis Hunter. Are you in? No, you're not in.

No. Well, you don't pay. You don't have to pay. And then and then, you know, we don't have to pay Micah. You know, I'm not any there because then we have to pay Micah. We can just take out Bill Carter on a rookie deal. I mean, that makes more sense for them.

That's true. There's a possibility, I think, for both franchises. Travis Hunter comes to the Cowboys. Deon's back in the fold. Micah is a legend. We're in the era of the Luca trade, so it won't be a big deal anymore. Let me let me let me kick it up a notch in the spirit of the city that we just left. What if the Cowboys trade Micah for Travis Hunter and then they go and get Miles Garrett and pay him? How about the Cowboys trade this year's number one and next year's number one to the Browns for Miles Garrett, then Micah works out a deal. Let's do that. I'd rather do that. I was stupid.

And then they pay everyone else five cents with what's left over. Thanks again, Jimmy. That's Jimmy in San Antonio. Always interesting meeting him. I'm just saying that's what I want. All right. We will chat. The rest of our audience will chat with you on Friday. Wealth building expert Candy Valentino paves the path to success.
