The Season with Peter Schrager: Paul Rudd on Mahomes, Playing Fantasy Football with the Marvel Universe, and The Legend of Matsui (with Paul Rudd)

for knocking off those highlights for me. When you've got a resume like you do. I had to hit him. What is gen Y Cops? Well, it's the sequel obviously to gen X Cars. What is it? What is it? Gen Y Cops? Two thousand? Take us? Okay, It's a movie that I filmed in Hong Kong. There are two Americans in the in the cast, Me and they gut named Mark, who uh was one of the very first internet memes as the you know, like the ninja, the that does the backflip and lands. Yeah, and they tried

to get Nun chucks. Yeah, but this was before that. So when that meme hit and it was like going around and I was like, well check this out. I'm like, yeah, oh, it's Mark my coast from Cops. What's the what's the story? Okay, the FBI has developed a killer robot and there are these uh, these kind of these cops they don't really play by the rules. Yeah, yeah, they're the and um, there are these three cops. They look great, they're super cool. I'm not one of them. That's all there. The entire

film I think, is in Cantonese. And uh, but I play the head of the FBI. I have blonde hair. It's the only time in my life I've ever died my hair. I got I got to Hong Kong. Did you get into character? Was this like method acting? This was told like this was such method acting. You're gonna be the head of the FBI. You're you're I know, you're twenty nine years old, but we think you should have blonde hair. And I'm like, yeah, all right, I

think so too. And so uh my wife said, if I if Duran Durand made a video about the FBI fighting a killer robot, you are Simon laban en Y co produced by Jackie Chan. Really yeah, but not in it. He's not. He wasn't he put the money? Yeah he was. Yeah. Yeah. Um, love you dude, thanks for doing this. Um, we're coming off of Chiefs Bills on Sunday. We know you are a die hard Chiefs fin quickly. Your takeaway from the battle, well, what a game. I mean it lived up to the hype.

And uh, I wasn't you know what. I'm always look, I'm always rooting for the Chiefs always. Oh and they're my favorite team. But like, I wasn't that bummed that they lost this one, not like you know, the Colts. I was devastated, but this this was just like god, you know what, you just got to give it up to just a great, a great game. It went down to the end. You get my homes with the ball

of a minute four left. You're not kicking yourself. And that was also, you know, like the whole thing about the thirteen seconds from last year, they actually went down did it again in twelve seconds? Um? But uh, you know, we look, the Bills deserve to win that game for sure, and I'm excited to see him again and hopefully we'll win that one. But you know, hats off to the Bills for sure. Okay, we're gonna get into all chiefs stuff.

We're gonna get into a lot of stuff. But on this podcast we do something called the four downs, and usually Aaron, my wonderful producer who's with us in the room right now, we'll rattle off a statement and then I will give my thoughts. Um, you're here in studio. This is a rare, rare deal. I think you should serve me up and then I'll give my thoughts and you kind of way into So what's the first down? Okay, you're ready for the first down? All right here? It is?

Is it okay to get excited about the Jets? Yes, yes it is. It's exciting, It is exciting, and it is okay to be excited about the Jets. You live in New York City. In the last decade, there has been maybe one Jets team that has been worth rallying around. This one has stars on Stars on Stars that are all under the age of twenty five. Paul. They are so young they don't know any better. You see Sauce Gardner wearing a foam cheese head through Lambeau and in

your head, You're like, that's a little bit disrespectful. He doesn't know any better. Like he's like, oh cool, a foam cheese hat and he puts it on his Well he might be, but he's like, yeah, we just Scott. That's kind of like his name is he Sauce. I saw the draft. He had a big, like giant chain of ketchup on. That's the guy who's gonna wear that's gonna go into Lambo And I think it's cool, Like you have to accept it. And Breece Hawman come on,

all right, so let's talk Bruesehal. Because I said on the show Good Morning Football, I'm like, one week, I'm like, he reminds me a little bit of let me on Bell. The next week I'm like, actually a little Matt Forte. Oh wait, he's actually Marshall Falk. And then this week someone someone tweeted the show and I was like, all right, before your time, dude. But he runs like Gail Sayers. I'm like, a oh Gail Sayers. It's high. When you watch Breefe Hall, doesn't it feel like the world is

in slow motion when this guy's running the ball. It's like a different speed he is a He is great. He's so fun to watch. I think he's going to have an amazing career. And I'm stoked for the Jets. I think it's it's so nice to see the team do well. I mean, I've always liked the Jets always. They played Denver in Denver, and I'm like, on an every other year you'd be like, oh, the young team going to Mile High. Regardless of Russell's probably they can

be Denver. And then like the Bills are looming and that's the trick, that's the test. You're a five and two Jets team and you're playing Buffalo, and Buffalo's owned them in recent years. Obviously, Like I'm excited, but at the very least, you're coming towards Halloween, and you're a Jets fan, of course you should be excited. It's really fun when the Jets well, the Jets and the Giants both doing well. To be in this city when those teams are doing well and it's been a while, it's uh,

it's great. It's great for the sport, it's great for the city. I feel like you and the Jet I feel like I listened to you on the Kelsey Podcast, your first NFL game. Was it a Jets or Giants? Giants in the very first game I ever went, told I was probably about five, okay, and it's like the old Giant Stadium it was. Yeah, it might have been the Polo Grounds if they were playing field. So I went, I went to go see, uh yeah, who was to eat? Giants?

Who was Giants and Eagles? So probably like like Harold Carmichael Jaworski, like those Wever Montgomery. Yeah, yeah, that was that team. Okay, And you have any memories from that game? I remember peeing in the parking lot there you go, man, Yeah, because my dad was like, come on, we're getting out of here and beating the traffic, which was my dad's mo for every we ever went to mine two third quarter of a Big Nets Bullets game. We gotta get out of here. Yeah, Brendan Burn Arena parking lot is

going to be mayhem afterwards. And also it's like even if like, oh no, this is going down to the wire, you gotta beat the draft. Then he's like that we definitely need to go because no one's gonna leave right now. No one in the right mind would leave right now. Come on, grab your coat, let's go. So that was always am and I remember leaving the game early and saying, but I have to peet, and my dad just goes, come on, let's just go ah and just you'll pee

by the car. I'm beating the parking lot. That's I remember from that game. And if you go to that parking lot right now there, it's it hasn't changed much. That's it. There's a plaque right in front. All right, second down, all right, second down? You're ready? Yeah, all right, here we go. After Sunday Nights win, is it fair to say the Eagles are the class of the NFC? Yes, but I don't think there's a huge gap between the

Eagles and the Cowboys. I came away from Sunday Nights game being like, Cowboys are sneaky good, not even sneaky, just like, that's not a team I want to face in the playoffs. Michael Parsons was all over the field in the second half, and the second lane Johnson went down with an injury. It was like, all right, Dallas is winning this game. The Eagles could not move the ball in the second half, and they had this great drive like put the game away, and it was I

think it was seven minutes, thirty five seconds. They go seventy five yards and like they finally get that breathing room, and it was like a giant sigh of relief in that building because you felt the momentum changing. And now the Cowboys get dacked back. I think it's the perfect setup for what's going to be a great NFC East

with the Giants now relevant too. But I look at that NFC and like you go through it, the Eagles are the class of the NFC because San Francisco is all banged up, Tampa Bay looks like they've got some you know, they've got to have some reckoning or something that has to come, and Green Bay looks lost, rams all injured. Saints. You go through, it's Dallas and Philly

and the Giants. It's pretty crazy. I feel like the NFC East, so the teams were about and then the Vikings are four and one or five and one right now. But like I've watched these Vikings games, you don't get the overwhelming feeling like the Vikings are gonna knock any of these teams out, and especially the fact that they went into Philly and Monday Night football and had nothing to really show for Like, I guess it's Philly and the Cowboys and the Giants and Phillies at number one.

Do you have any thoughts and the Eagles fans in your life? I feel like we're so close to Philly that like it, you feel the Eagles fan presence, especially now with what the Phillies are doing. Yeah, we're just saying it's an exciting time to be a Philadelphia sports fan. Um. Look that the team is great. I mean Hurts is for real, he is, and I think there are questions before the season. I think he's silenced all those he wins games. Yeah, he does the defense. I mean they're

on both sides of the ball. I mean I don't think they're it's I don't think it's a fluke that they're undefeated. Yeah here's what now, you say this about Dallas. Yeah, right, Dak comes back and what does that due to the team mojo? It's a you know, because they weren't good the first week with Dak and he hurts his thumb and you're like, oh, it's over, and then they got better.

I think that the chance to gel with Cooper Rush and to rely on the run game war and the defense kind of get and like, okay, we're the lead dogs this year. Like, I don't think you're asking a lot for Dak to step in and just don't turn the ball over and be better than Cooper Rush. We could beat these games. We can win these games. And A Parson's my guy? Isn't he good? That guy? All right? Number three? This is kind of a random one, but I wanted to make a statement. So why don't you

give me third down? All right? You're ready? Yeah, all right, here it's coming. Who's Jack Easterby? And why does his firing make national news? Thank you, Paul. And this has been a burning question, I know, no wondering, and I thought you're the guy to ask. I know you've been

thinking about Jack Easterby all day. All right, So Jack Easterby, if you're a listening to the podcast Follow the NFL, has a very different rise to where he became basically the head of the Houston Texans over the past few years. His rise was he was a team chaplain, okay with the Chiefs, and he was known as a character coach and during the Belcher stuff that all went down, he was a key part of that Chief's building to keep the team together and to find ways to get through grief.

And was there this masterful young man with a bunch of kids who are going through something that a lot of them the first major tragedy in their life. Ends up with the Patriots where he is a beloved Patriots staffer and starts this title as like character coach, and

it was kind of this innocuous, vague thing. And when Nick Serrio goes from New England to Houston, one of the main reasons he went was because Jack Easterby was in Houston and Jack was a big Hey, Nick, you gotta leave New England after twenty years have been under Belichick. You gotta be RGM and he goes over there. Now, in the last few years since Jack has gotten there, Bill O'Brien's been fired, multiple staffers have left. We had

to Deshaun Watson situation go down the Deshaun Watson. There's been a cloud of just darkness over there, and a lot of people began looking at well, who is this Jack Easterby and why does he have so much of a say in Houston. This was a guy who was a team chaplain and a character coach. Why is he an executive and the truth the matter is, I think Jack got a real negative light in the media, and I think there was a little bit of skepticism. There

was some cynical behavior around it. Then there was some rumors coming out that Jack wasn't all about the character. It was all about Jack, and it it was all about Jack. And I just would say that I've met Jack Easterby. I think he's a relentlessly positive person. I think he has been nothing but kind to me and our brief dealings. But I go by the people who worked with him, and you talk to those people in New England. Jack Easterby is one of the most beloved guys from that

I'm talking about. Jason mccordy, my co host of Good Morning Football. Don't think I have any problem with me saying on the record when I said, oh, Jack Easterby got fired, like man, Jack's my guy. Jack. Jack does things. He got away with people, away with players and the media. Right now, Paul, and this is such a random topic, but you're here, and I think there's it's big picture and a lot of stuff, especially in the world of Hollywood and all this things like there's a narrative and

everyone takes their shots. And there was a pile on last yesterday on Twitter when he got fired like oh good, like it's great, like Dick I should never have been in charge anyway, he knowed the credentials. I felt like there was a bit of like a strange jealousy almost that this guy took a path that wasn't the typical route to get where he is. And so I would just say this, take a second. This man just got got fired like that sucks, and before everyone his piles

on Jack Easterby. He's gonna be back. He's got a lot of fans in this league. And I don't think there's a bad bone in his body. And I just thought it was bizarre to see the what's the word shutten, fraud? What's the word fred? When he got fired? So I know, is that a good take? I feel like I'm a person also, it sounds like a good take to me. I didn't know who he was. Yeah, fourth down, No, I think he made some salient points. Fourth down? All right,

you're ready? Yeah, Hey, who do you want to shout out? I want to shout out Robert Kraft's wedding planner and give some that seemed like the coolest thing. Apparently it happened very jack there's a Jackie Easter be somewhere working working those wedding planners. What can we get Elton? Yes, he's available on Friday. Can we get Sheer and get him in? That picture of Meek mill ed Shearon and

Elton John was pretty badass. And then they get the photo of all of the different ex patriots and current Patriotcy and Slater and David Andrews and of course Devin mccordy there with Bledsoe and Brady. It looked awesome. He marries his girlfriend, doctor Dana Bloomberg. I want to say her name is Dana? Is that right? Guys? I think so let's Google check that. We could always leave it in and I'm just gonna nod my head and say that's right. I want to get the bride's name right.

But Dana Bloomberg doctor. They met at I think Kenyon Ranch up in Lennox or like one of those things. They met and they fell in love and they're married. But that turnout on a Friday and apparently was a quick turnaround. I don't know if I'm breaking news, but Jason mccordy's brother was there and said that Devin got an email on like Wednesday and was like, there's a surprise wedding or a surprise event and you're being asked to come, and he's like, well, I can't go. I

got a game. It's like no, no, mister Kraft insists that you go, and like everyone just went. And I don't know if everyone knew it was a wedding. Bon Jovi in the house, Drew Bledsoe in the house, Vince Wilfork, Randy Moss, your thoughts. I bet it was a blast right azzletop to the crafts right and and uh, I believe it was at the Loomier. Wasn't it at the climped What is that? I don't know that. It doesn't tell you something right now, Peter. Uh, it's an amazing exhibit.

I saw it in Paris years ago. They project climp on the walls and who's climtpiece and artists. Yeah, and uh, there's another there's another van Go. They were doing a similar kind of thing where it's like this immersive art experience. No, I don't know if they were showing it during the wedding, but it's really worth. I think what my big takeaway from the Graft wedding is that everyone should really try

and see this climp pie. It's incredible. Uh what do you make of these these protesters with the oil and the van go Like? I was upset when I saw it. No, I don't want to talk politics, but no, what you mean like people that are like throwing things on art and painting to make us stay? Give me a break? But I mean, like, what's what are you trying to do?

That was upset? Look, man, I saw the guy go down on the field when Bobby Wagner took him out, and he's running around with a big pink thing and he's like now he's suing because he got a concussion. It's like, dude, you jumped on the field during a game. Aren't all bets off? Yeah? So I don't know this this Like, I'm all about protests and speaking up and truth fighting power in every single way. But man, leave the paintings alone. Yeah, come on, come on, shout out

anybody who work down. You can shout out anybody in the league. Anything is on the spot, oh man, anything anyone an announcer, a player, a coach. You watch football as much as anybody. We text all Sundays and you've got like insights. You're like, are you watching Texans Colts. I'm like no, I'm not. Um, yeah, there's so many, so many. This is oh, this is real pressure. Uh, you know, a shout out James Palmer, James Palmer from the NFL network going on and Tom Pellacero, let's go

go down. The roster will sell. But these guys that are just funny bringing us information. Great hair, great hair, doesn't doesn't move. And by the way, uh obviously with like Pellisero always with a nice backdrop, beautiful, it's like he's he's like he's zooming in from peer one. I know. Um, he's got a tasteful uh and uh like little Isocily's triangles, the pictures, like it's not even about putting up like the football stuff. It's it's classic very CB two. You're right,

that's that's Pelisaro. I didn't have the giant gears behind Jeremiah Daniel Jeremie that I wasn't sure of, like a mechanics, I didn't. It's like, yeah, what is what's what's what is that? Yeah? Yeah, so uh that's my shout out, actually Pelisaro's uh aesthetic back his background. It's a shout out to his wife, Sarah, she's killing it too. Way to go, Sarah. Yeah, and I would also like to shout out Sarah being of Sarah's Uh Sarah Walsh, Yeah,

whose husband caught the ball? Yes, Matt Bushman, Matt Bushman to just give the ball back? Do we have to tell the story? Okay? So here's having h Sarah Walls. She was an announcer on NFL network or reporter. She's great, has filled in on Good Morning Football multiple times. And it's a story. It's a it's a it's a it's a weird of a context. But let's explain it. Well.

When Aaron Judge hit me tied the record, right, her husband is the bullpen coach of the Toronto Blue Jays and had the ball in his hand, the number sixty two, and he gave the ball back to Aaron Judge then gave it to his mom and or sixty one and uh and um and there was a big you know, absolutely what a cool move. And I would like to shout out that guy for doing the right thing. Way to go, Sarah, Props to your husband. Good for you and you two. Yes, great moments in NFL network history. Um,

not as important as Bella Sarah's back drop. No, who are the climp? Climp? Climp? Oh my god? Could you imagine pl Sara is able to get some climp projection, not backdrop, the projected on a zoom. There's got to be some legal repercussion there made the Hall of Loomiers can't do that. But but if he can get a climp projection on a zoom. And Tom's reports are usually like in rule book nine four six roughing the passer dictated,

all of a sudden, climp comes in. Cheers, cheers to Tom free talking about it all right, Uh, let's get like, how did you and I meet? And I guess let's go back to Super Bowl in Atlanta, Rams Patriots. Um, I'm there on behalf of the NFL network. And it was right after you gave Mahomes the MVP award with

the jacket, right yeah. And it was the next day and it's at the Super Bowl and I go up to the my seats and I see this this guy waving me down and I'm like, that guy looks like Paul Rudd, who is that and he's waving me down. I'm like, who is that, Paul, And it was you to call me over and be like, love your stuff on Good Morning Football. I was I fan boyed out. It would also you guys were all together and I watched the show every morning, which I'd like to talk

to you about that. I have a thought about that I want I wanted to bring up to you, but I had you know, I've been watching the show for years now, Good Morning Football, NFL Network. If you're listening, watch it. It's a good show seven to ten, and honestly, it's like, oh gosh. Years ago, I decided I'm done with waking up to the news. This is just too bleak.

And I would watch the show and I just thought, you guys are so great together, and it's so fun watching the show, and it's funny and informative and and you know, now it's just part of my day every single day. And so when I saw you there at the Super Bowl, I just got so super excited and

I ran over to you guys. You know, it was fond, It was great, and it was me, Nate and Kyle at the time, and you're hugging us and we're having this blast and then Nate's like okay, um cool, and like you were like, I'm down to hang guy, and we were so thrilled. Yeah, you're probably just like we get it, dude, you watch the show. Meanwhile, I had just that I'll go back because I remember exactly what's

going on. My heart was beating because I had just been on the field and McVeigh is like my guy, and we just talked and he gave me this look like I think we got this. And I came up to the to the seats afterwards and I like went to every single person. I'm like, I think the Rams are going to just handle Belichick today and then the rest is history. Belichick did not go, but McVeigh does get his ring. Last year, which you did not go to the Super Bowl, are you done with any non

Chief super Bowl? Is? I didn't go to the super Bowl because I had gone to the I had gone to the Chiefs Bengals game. That's right, was crushing, that was right. I'm like, I'm not gone. Why would I ever go to the super Bowl after that? Yeah? So I wasn't. I wasn't. Um. So we've always been friendly since we text and all this stuff. I gotta say, like coming into this season, it's it hasn't been as

wide open before as it is right now. Six weeks into this season, there's like parody all over the place. Your favorite story in the NFL season right now is what? Oh man, my favorite story? Yeah? Like what like Jets, Giants and what Chiefs, Bills Eagles? Um, oh my god, no, it's probably mean like my favorite stories are always to do with like just like the the players players that Bailey Zappy, Bailey Zappy isn't that great? Isn't it great? I mean, is that could exist? Yeah, in like this

billion dollars industry, that Bailey Zappy could be the story? Um, he looks twelve years I know. It is like Buzz looks like Buzz light Year. No, one of those he's like, it's like one. He looks like kind of like a like a like an a TV actor from the fifties, like a that would be like on a and It's the Menace kind of show or like Dobe Gillis or something like. He's just he's so kind of it's cherubic. Yeah. Um, but I don't know I was Bailey's app That's not

my favorite story. I mean, like I I don't know, there's um, you know, it's it's it's usually always some kind of personal story when I and I'm nothing really like right now, but I like, yeah, I gotta think. But when somebody who is really the odds are kind of ye stacked against them, and then they come on and they just show up. I mean I love seeing Quon. Yeah, he leaves the NFL and scrimmage and I just after you know, uh, the last few seasons and the frustrations.

I'm just super excited for that guy. I love him as a player, and he seems like he's a great guy, and so I think it's pretty uh pretty cool seeing One of the things we talk a lot about is your fantasy team. Yea, and I am one of those guys. If you're like, all right, let me tell you about my fantasy team, I immediately shut down and I don't care.

I don't want to know. I have no interest. Yeah, I mean such a But you're so passionate about your different leagues because they bring the friends together and it's like a way you can combine world. I want to go through two of your league because I know you got multiple ones, and I want to go through them and talk about the difference between them, but also the significance in your life. Let's talk about first what I

call your Labor Day Weekend League. And that's just what I call it because it's like to me, it's it's everything wonderful about friendship. Yeah, yeah, well that's exactly that's exactly right. That's that's what it is. And we started doing this league many many years ago kind of I played cards with this group of guys and we would do it every Tuesday and we meet and play poker and god, I want to say, maybe this was like two thousand and seven, eight something like that. I said, guys,

we should do a fantasy football league. And they are like, no, that's why would we do that. You know, it had really caught on at that point. I said, no, it's really fun. We should do it, and and we did, and we have done it every year since and it's gotten more and more, um you know, important, I would say, in our lives, because it does keep us all kind of connected and together. And we do a live draft. It used to be that, you know, people, one guy's

a composer who sing songs. He would create these these amazing orchestrations to slam some guy that he was playing that week. I mean, the smack talk reached these kind of epic proportions and that's kind of faded away because we all just got you know, old and lazy. But but we're But it's uh, you know, it is a great thing. It does kind of keep you connected and it also makes you excited about games you would have no interest in. The thing I love is the in

person draft. And it's not just a one day thing. It explain what I mean, it's it's yeah, it's kind of like the whole weekend it started is before really anyone was married, right, kids or anything, and so it's like, oh, we're gonna, you know, we get together for this weekend and now it's it's an annual event and we do a live draft and it's um, you know, and for all of us it's like Christmas. It's the greatest thing.

But you know, I think probably for our wives or families, it's like you're going away for the weekend over April Day weekend. Um. Yes, and the actor Richard Kind is in the league. Uh yeah, well Richard Richard comes to the to the but he's not in the league. He's one. He's he's in the he plays cards and he's in the group, and he's on the he's on the weekly he's on the weekly Sunday raps that uh you know, uh my friend Tom and Q writes and so he gets the rap and uh so he's part of it all.

But oh yeah, yeah, absolutely all right. So there's that one, and then there's the Marvel League, which is also worth noting. Can we go through the I mean, I'm not a name guy, but let's go through the names of the people in this league and you guys actually keep up with it as a fantasy league. Yeah, started years ago, um and it was it was. That was fun this year when it started, and you and I were we were together and ridiculous zoom. Well that was because you know,

we started. One of the traditions in that league is everyone makes a little video before the beginning of the draft and everyone does kind of like, you know, a shot and good luck and uh and and and then we do our our draft. And so Joe Russo, who directed you know, the end game and a lot of the Russo brother the Russo brothers, uh said he uh was going to take us all down in his video because also he had a cheat sheet given to him from Matthew Berry. Uh, and so he had one up

on us. And then I made a video saying, well, you know, cheers you guys, Joe. That is completely unfair. You can't have that kind of inside information. I think it's lame. Um. I would never do such a thing. And then the camera and I just kind of panted over. You were sitting in the corner saying yeah, talking about the like way you got the number two pick Yourena

go McCaffrey. So, uh yeah, that was But that league is yeah, I think it's Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie and Pratt and a bunch of guys that are in that kind of and then also, uh, guys that aren't in um in in Marvel Miles telling Les Teller, Ryan Reynolds is in it. Um Uh, I want to say, Krasinski's in it. Yeah, there's um and there's is there shit Yeah yeah yeah, Garrett Helen awesome, Yeah yeah, big Vikings fan. Um. Yeah. So it's a it's a real it's a it's a fun it's a fun group. It's

a great way to keep together. Then all right, I'm gonna go rapid fire. I'm gonna say a name, and you tell me something I didn't actually get in my whole thing. I wanted to talk to you about GMFU. But it's all right, we're gonna I want to hear it. There's nothing I love more than hearing about me. Go what do you? It's not really about you, but it's just like, Okay, is there somebody that you could talk

to you at the network whereever? It is to just the commercial breaks, dude, but walcome mile in my shoes for here, walcom is on my shoes one more time. I like, there's there's there's well, there's walcomut on my shoes. But now it is quickly being replaced by I want to eat eat eat apples and bananas. Uh. Then if you're listening to this, we have the NFL network. I

don't control the ads. I don't control the coms. And by the by the way, worthwhile, it's a lot of cause marketing, you know, but it's it is like it's just every mornings. I've never been proud to call you my son. It's say every every commercial break, it's the same. But the uh, walcome mile in my shoes. It's it's it's slowly crush. You're like Justes, let's let's get the come on advertisers, So come on and with a new

new spots on GM and we got Old Trapper. There are official sponsored cherk right, and I think they should take over the entire network. I'm fine with the altar. Tom Petals haven't seen a while, and they used to be all the time. It was like talking to people, Uh, how awkward it is to talk about mental health? Awkward anyw kind of a by the way, don't miss it. Don't miss it was tonally it was a weird spot. Everyone was we're gonna do these like goofy. I love

that you're talking about this. Tom Pellas who you really mentioned? He and I watched the NFL network all day long and we text every single time walk a mile in my shoes. It's a commercial and the text is up to a billion. Yeah it is. It is. By the way, you could make it a drinking game, even though it's in the morning. Every time you hear walkom out of my shoes, take a shot, you will be you will be blitzed. But remember fifteen Remember for a while like

that womp there it is. AD was on everyone and I liked it because I'm like, that was a fun ad. Walcom out of my shoes. Is not that AD? No, it's it's not. It's also I also I hear it. I know it's I don't even I don't even know. I think I could even recognize the visual. I don't even like shut down just the song. Yeah, all right here, we're keeping that in. By the way, guys, that's for everyone the ad sales department. Please, um, let's go rapid fire. Walcome on in my shoes such an inside like deep

cut to the NFL Network audience, and we appreciate you watching. Um, I'm gonna say a name. You could take sixty seconds, two minutes. Okay, tell me something you want the world to know about this individual? Okay, okay. Number one Patrick Mahomes. Oh great parents, the nicest, coolest, most awesome parents. I met them that actually the night that I gave the MVP. Yeah,

and they came up introduced themselves to me afterwards. And I've seen them at several times since, at the Chiefs parade at the stadium, and I just you know, you look at a guy like Patrick Mahomes and think, wow, that guy really he He's thoughtful, he's considered, he's smarty, He kind of he answers. Everything's just the right way. What a great dude. It's because he's his parents are great,

great parents, pretty good football player, He's not bad. Has he changed your life with the Chiefs fan in a way that's like you now, like there's no dread, like you look forward to every game. I can only imagine having Mahomes that's your quarterback. Let me just say, it is strange for somebody my age to look at somebody his age and just love him so much and he's not in my family. It would be if it wasn't just for the sports thing. It creepy. Number two Travis Kelsey.

I mean, first of all, everyone knows how great he is and talks about it. He's the best, best in the league. But that guy has been kind of MVP of that dude, Like he's been so good for the Chiefs for so many years. I always felt like, I don't think he's getting the props that he really deserves. He's so clutch and great but also a huge heart. Every year I do this charity event in Kansas City. Uh is he's there. He always asks how's your mom? He asks how my son is. He makes a big

fuss over them late. I love him. He's very sweetheart is you know? We had this debate and the event is called the Big Slick in Kansas City and it's for Kansas City Children's Hospital, Children's Mercy Hospital, and guys raised three million dollars this summer and it was incredible

and we had a debate. Sorry was actually the crew was in the name drop again you me and Sean Evans from Hot Ones debate with his friend Nick who was the man, and the four of us were in a debate and the question was if Travis Kelsey never takes another snap, is he an NFL Pro Football Hall of Famer? I said, I think he is. I don't know if he's first ballot, and you jumped out my throat, Yeah he is, hands down absolutely hall of Famer. Yeah,

first ballot, I think so. Yeah, all right. Number three Alex Smith probably the most underappreciated, like the classiest player in the league and was no one ever talked about. That guy won everywhere he went and he would kind of like then in Leaves, San Francisco just and he just never spoke badly about anybody. I could only imagine what was going through his mind. And uh and was just always and has always been the classiest guy and

has been a huge part. I mean, I think we all love Mahomes so much, and obviously what he has done overshadows everything else. It's almost the came before him. But you know, Mahomes was there and for a year with Alex, who said, look kind of wasn't threatened and embraced and h doesn't go always that way. And I was always you know, when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, I I I was like, I just wanted somebody know, Hey, Alex, you know you're part of this too, if you're watching, Yeah, yeah,

I love it. Was in the parade, James Palmer was interviewing I think with mj Acosta Louise at the time, and they were interviewing you, and you shouted out at the parade like, hey, while we're all here celebrating, shout out to Alex Smith. I thought it was pretty classy. Yeah, I thought, you know, he was a part. He was a part of that team, a big part of that team. And uh so you know, I was like, you say,

they like that they and same with the injury. It's like my heart breaks from Alex Smith and it has several times during his career, and I just he's such a great dude and I hope everything is great in his life. Another Chief Dustin cole Quit. Oh what I mean, pump one hilarious guy. Great guy. Uh. When I've gone back to Kansas City for Christmas and I'm saying my sister's house, he would bring over a mattress so that you know we had enough rooms because we didn't have

enough mattresses. He's just a very He's a very charitable, uh, sweet guy who used to live next He used to live down the street from my mom, and we're still friends. He was probably like my closest friend on the Chiefs who I still talked to. Great. Great feel I don't have like super great type friends on the team. I'm a fan before I'm a friend of it, but I have met some. But Dustin is a certainly a friend of mine. You know, I'm dissolved in and you and

post malone. I feel like I have a vague memory of you telling me a story about all you guys

partying was that with cole Quit. It was this was the most surreal thing, like it was that night the Chiefs parade went there for the super Bowl was in Kansas City and Dustin cole Quit and I went met up with Mahomes and Kelsey and that night and went and post Malone was in town and we went to see post Malone and then post Malone was wearing at Patrick mahomes Jersey uh during the concert, and then afterwards I met him up by the way. Greg is a sweetheart. What a great guy he is, he really is, He

really is super nice. All right. Tammy Reid, Andy's wife originally from Rhinebeck, New York, really New Yorker didn't know. Yeah, and hilarious. I don't think people know this. Like he's a bigger character than any of the Chiefs. Oh my god. She is er, I mean, and at every league meeting everything, when it's the family, she is the star. Yeah. She's really funny, she's very sweet, remembers everybody's names, really goes out of her way to make you feel like a

part of it. And she's awesome. All right, let's go down the hall. He would write a little bit. No, finally, I was wondering if we can finally stop talking football. Robert Downey Junior. Okay, by the way, here's the thing. You're naming all these people, and I'm like just praising all of them, but they really do warrant the praise. Robert Downey Jr. Is somebody that I'm kind of really

awed by. Really truly he is. I don't know many people that could be in that position and be able to like be that magnanimous and handle it and just be as kind of thoughtful as he is. When we were filming Endgame, he would bring everybody to kind of his area, Like he had the trailers and he had this little camp set up. He would host lunch for everybody. Imagine there's a lot of stars there, but he was

like the leader. He was I think he's but for sure totally the captain and I think and everybody and he would host lunch. What does that mean? He would like during our lunch breaks, he would hire a chef or sometimes like a uh like I think I last day I hired a bluegrass band play. He would he would just kind of host a party for everybody, and every day he was just such a Yeah, the captain is a good way to put it. I'm I really love that guy. He's great. Julia Roberts. Oh, she's about

as real as it gets. Let me tell us, let me tell you something. Talk about another person that I am absolutely crazy about. We did a play together, okay, and um, I don't know, was in two thousand and six or something like that, Broadway like New York. Yeah, oh yeah, oh no, sir, please, yes, of course summer come on, come on, what away at the Round Wharf? Uh No, it's weird. I did a play and it was great. It was very It was exciting because it

was the Julia Roberts play on Broadway. It was a big deal and there was just three of us in the cast, and nobody cared about the two other guys who was It was easy because it was like, oh, we're with pressure the other guy, Bradley Cooper. So Bradley Cooper and I were the two guys in the Julia Roberts play. And by the way, he's great too, great, that's great. But no, Julia Roberts. I will still talk to she and her husband and her you know, our kids were like the same age, and she is She's

just so great. And and real. She really is truly real And every time you know, you always say she'll do an interview, she goes, all the best things I can do for my kids is love their dad and

just everything she says. You're like, God, you You're you are so right it mean to be able to navigate the career she's had and be as kind of real and cool and grounded as she is as a real testament to the headline came out so about spoiling anything you are going to be in season three of a certain popular show involving Steve Martin and Martin Short, can I say Marty Schartz name and just give you the microphone? Oh? Well, I mean, do we have another hour to talk about Martin?

Uncle Marty, Uncle Marty. Uh, nobody's funnier nobody. He is the warmest, greatest guy who can just cut you down with the funniest insult. Um. He is so easy to be around. Uh, you know, I still kind of can't believe that I know him. Yeah. Um. And first of all, working with Martin Short and Steve Martin, that's is it surreal? And those are guys that you're too comedy like? They

absolutely that's mount Rushmore. I mean, Steve Martin has probably had more of an effect on my life from just more than anybody else alive really, from what like the jerk and rock said, like his comedy records when I was a kid. Yeah, I mean I just think I remember listening to those albums and I think it was the first time I realized he's making a living talking. Yeah, and he's so funny, and my god, that's just he just had a real kind of profound effect on me.

Still does. I can't believe that I can ever even be in the same if you like text with those guys, like you have like communication with them. I feel like they're like, like you said, Mount Rushmore, but it's like the satellite, They're like these figures that just like loom large Well absolutely, and um, you know, uh Martin short, I've known now a little while longer. Um, and he's just I don't know, man, he's really good at kind of putting you at ease. And I just really I

really love that guy. And not just I mean it's now gote to point where it's like, oh, I mean, of course I'm a fan, like every single person in the world, but I mean as a human being. Um, I really really love him. He's everybody does. It's it. I can't speak any higher of a human being than Martin Short. You've hosted SNL now how many times? Five Five Timers Club? You got the jack. It was kind of a weird deal. It was the only show in

SNL history that that got canceled the day up. It was like you Hanks and Tina fe and then who were you know? It was the Five Timers. It was the Five Timers thing. So there was a big monologue and a big sketch and all of that, and so Tom Hanks was there. He was going to be in it and if it was going to be in it, and so they were in the studio and then the and then it the show got canceled and they were already there, so we had to kind of scramble and

figure out, okay, what do we do? So none of the sketches really aired, and we had made a couple of short yeah for the show, but you know, it was it was interesting. It was I mean, my god, it really was an incredible thing to be around and see that, to see how, okay, what do you do now? Yea to the world opened up again, and it thought

like that stoke a moment in time. It just happened that it was like truly like the peak with omicrons, Yeah, kicked in and everybody was testing positive and it was really scary, and it was right before the holidays and everything started to change, and it was like truly a one week window where it really spiked, or two weeks, and it just so happened that it was that day. I mean, they were every single day of that week.

It's like, okay, let's look at the numbers hopefully hopefully, you know, and and had it been Friday, we probably would have been okay. But it just happened in this moment in time. It's the wheels kind of quick trivia. So was it Charlie XCX was supposed to be that? Okay? Can you name the other musical guests from the four times that you've hosted previously my music? Oh? Absolutely? Like you remember like every yeah, well I've had Killer let me he's okay. So the first time I hosted it

was Beyonce? How was she? How was Miss Noel? Super cool? You know? There's that that very famous sketch that she does the single Ladies and that justin two make shows up and I was that I was in that sketch. Was the first time I ever hosted S and L and um and so I was the director of that music video. Not my part gets cut off usually, which is fine, but uh, she was great and my god to see her also like doing the sound checks and seeing her sing, and personally, my god. She lives in

New York. Do you guys ever bumped into each other the second time? I picture there's like an Illuminati meeting where she like and brings you in. Well, I'm sure that those meetings happen. I just I don't get that call. No, there's this guy that hosted performed one time. Let's him. I don't get those fun But the second time, which was it will never be beat and I'll never forget.

It was weeks before I was hosting my phone rings at one in the morning, and it was Bill Hayter calling me, uh, saying, um, dude, uh, do you know you know who your musical guest is? Who you're gonna be? And and I said, no, niggas, Yes, Well, I'm sorry for calling so late, but I just found out it's gonna be Paul McCartney so I did like shot up and then and I didn't go back to sleep, and

I was so excited. And um, you know we've talked about this in the past, Uh that like the Beatles as well, either the greatest band of all time and yes, absolutely and Paul McCartney forget it to talk about just I mean what we can say about Paul McCarney it hasn't been said. Um, but uh, those moments in your life, if you can ever take a moment and really register this is one of the greatest moments I'm ever going to have, um, and just treasure it. I had several

that week. But the way it works on SNL is that when the band comes in to do a sound check for the first they don't they don't show up until Thursday. So Thursdays, the first time they're in the studio, they're on stage and they're getting set up, and usually on the stage next next to that, you're the host is getting their photos taken for all of those bumpers

for the commercials. Right, So I was getting my picture, Hagan, and then all of a sudden, Paul McCartney's band kind of comes in starts heading up and they started playing jet Or. They started playing the song great song, and I looked at the photographers Maryland and we were like, we're not taking pictures right now. I gotta go. No, we're not. So we went and stood on the floor

and watched Paul McCartney practice. And there's probably about fifteen people there, you know, ten of whom are the camera operators, and they're trying to figure this out. And so he does a couple of songs and then they wheel out onto the floor a piano because he doesn't even know what he's going to sing on the show. And he goes down to the floor and there's I haven't met him,

I haven't seen him. I'm just kind of and he sits down at this bench and I'm standing ten feet behind Paul McCartney over his shoulder, and he just starts playing the Long and Winding Road, and I'm looking at his hands on the keys and thinking, oh my god, those are the hands that wrote it. Every single time I've ever heard that song played by the Beatles, it

came from those hands. I was watching his feet on the pedals and he goes into the long Whining Road, and you know, more people start kind of drifting into the room, and he finishes, and everyone applauds, and he says, oh, thank you, thank you very much, and then he goes right into Lady Madonna, and then he gave all of us about I don't know, like a forty five minute Beatles concern, just sitting there with his piano. And every once in a while, I have lived such an incredible

I find myself repeatedly, repeatedly in many moments. I mean, giving the Moms, the MVP, all of these things in my life, and working with Martin Short and Steve Martin, you name it. I got to stand next to McCartney while he played those songs, and I still cannot believe I got to be in that room when that happened. It's it's just unreal. So Paul McCartney was my second guest One Direction, One Direction awesome. I loved him. By the way, Hey, my favorite sketches is you as the

One Direction super Fans. It was the one sketch that I pitched. Yeah, Dan Charles, guys just a little a little too old to be you know the name of the character in the two sketch you yelling for? Sorry, but I loved one they were great. They were awesome, like they were the biggest things in the world. And

I had no real clue. Um we got I was there to promote We were probably Anchorman two, so Will and Steve Carell and Keckner they were there too, and we all sang together in the in the monologue, sang after Delight with one direction. And I mean I was aware, like, oh my god, I can't believe I'm getting a sing with one direction because you know, the whole, the whole was one of the we drive by thirty rock all

the time. It was peak. Yeah, it was peak for the listeners, like if you live in New York City, you know it's a big musical guest or even a star like a Taylor Swift or one of those. When on around Wednesday afternoon you start seeing sleeping bags on sixth Avenue because they're parked out. That had to be and thens recently had that. Yeah, it was. It was

that kind of pandemonium. And then um and so then yeah, so then the show ended, and then I and then we all had to fly, all the Anchorman guys, like we had to fly to uh, I don't know, Australia or someplace next to go kind of do more press stuff. And I remember I got on the plane and you could had the movies and you got and I watched the One Direction documentary Like these guys, I'm like, I like those guy boys. I'm gonna watch their movie. That's it.

I like, I wasn't totally caught up in it. Yeah, Nile is that his name, by the way. Awesome, awesome Nile. What a funny grip. They were all great. Zane was shy. They were but super nice, friendly shy. Uh Harry Styles come, I mean like that guy was Mick Jagger? Like, oh yeah, I get it. The last one was an episode that I actually attended and we saw each other there. Um was with DJ Kalin and his entire crew and they were cool too. Oh man, talk about a sweet guy him,

what a great guy. And another one and another and also that was That was also one where I really started kind of feeling my age a little bit because it was Big Sean Yeah, Scissors, uh uh, Meek Mill, Jay Balvin, I think it was. There were so many people, um, and I was like, okay, I know some of I know, my kids know, um, but they were but super friendly, great And then yeah, and we remember we hung out afterwards, We went to the party afterwards. Coolest night of my life,

all right. A couple of other names here, all right, and then we're gonna wrap it up, I promise. Nathan Fielder. Oh my god, come on, Who's who is funnier than that guy? And it's now Nathan Fielders, somebody who I don't know very well, but I know him a little bit. Okay, how do you know Nathan Fielder? Do? Just like said an appreciation email and some manager connection. I met him one time. The first time I met Nathan Fielder was with he was with Michael Sarah And I know Michael, okay.

And it was actually at that card game that we played came by and the pub that we would play cards in in Hell's Kitchen. And this is years ago, but I I knew he was because I was a Nathan for You fanatic. That show came out and I thought, this is the funniest show. And easily ten years this is one of the funniest things that I've ever seen it there, it's rare when you get a completely unique, fully formed comic identity. Nathan Fielder is operating on such a high level um, and his is so his own

interesting thing and it's so authentic and smart. And I don't know if you've seen the rehearsal, but I would encourage everybody to watch that because and watch the entire season, because it's just unlike anything you've ever seen Nathan Fielder. I think that what he does is is sublime. Could he do anything outside of that character? I feel like

he could have Hollywood by the balls if he wanted. Like, he's so talented and he's so and he's enigmatic, and I mean, I'm just you know, I'm just such a huge fan of his and uh. And he's also a very sweet guy. My kids, my daughter took her school pictures in grade schools. She wore her Summit Ice hoodie for her school picture and I told Pat, I said, by the way, I just like reaching out saying, hey, hey, man, um, this is my daughter's school picture. I couldn't be more proud.

And he replied, oh, that's it's a great get for the brand and uh, and then he sent her like T shirts, swag swag, Summit Ice socks, a Summit Ice hat. And my son feels this way too. I mean that Nathan, for you special. It is really special. Yeah, a couple more.

They're so good, all right, Seth Rogan. Oh, Seth Rogan, Okay, I don't think that there's a person on earth that is I don't know how you can go through what Seth Rogan has gone through in his life and remain has unchanged and really trying to the Hollywood up and down, what the Korea stuff was, everything, Like this guy's life has just been like where he is so the same guy, the same dude. I mean, you look, you could see

Seth Rogan to go. I feel like I know what that guy's like, and I would tell you you do you know exactly what he's like. I love I love him, love him, love him, love him so much. He's so unaffected. He says exactly what he's feeling. He kind of weirdly doesn't worry about. I mean, I admire because they'll say things that like that. It might be an unpossible thing. Because he wrote a book and I listened to it on the audiobook recently and I loved it. I don't

remember what it was called. To go find it. Set the book and he tells a story and it's a story about a meeting he had with Tom Cruise and Judd Apata. Do you know this story? I know it comes there when I wasn't at the meeting, but we were could he tell this story from vs? But like, what what is the background? I don't remeber to say? Well, we were shooting forty year old virgin okay and um seth uh, I don't know if is this the story said that the media because hers wants to get involved

in comedy. Well he you know this is he wanted to meet Judd and it was like, j yeah, Judd Apata, who hadn't you know this was the first movie Judd had ever directed, so you know Tom Cruise was in from the bed he knew early. Um, and yeah, Judd said, uh, he was gonna go meet Tom Cruise and um, you don't go along in that trip? Oh god, no, I'm not gonna mir I wasn't invited and uh but uh but jud said him going to Cruise, it's a terrible judge.

That's a good Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna go. Jod always feels like it sounds like he had needs to blow his nose. I'm gonna go be the Tom Cruise. So like hater does a good judge. Um. Anyway, Uh, he was, he was excited. He's gonna go meet Tom Cruise tomorrow at at his house and uh and and so he took Seth with him. Why did he take

Seth with him? Like this is my guy, Like we got so you know, like he'd worked with Seth obviously had freaks and geeks, and Seth is you know, really funny and had they they were friends, they'd worked together, and I don't know, maybe Judd was probably nervous too. I mean, he was probably nervous to meet Tom Cruise, just like you know, like the biggest movie star in the world. And he's like, oh, I got to take this,

and I'll take Seth. And Seth is a kind of always funny and he's not going to be like he'll totally dam himself. And uh, I remember it was like the time when people he just had open he said, no, no, not that might have just but it was weird, like there was a time like they had the baby, his daughter, and but there was a moment in time where like, we don't know, no one seen the baby and so yeah, so um, so they went and had this meeting that night and and then the next day I went to Jed.

I go, so, yeah, he goes, He's great, he goes. I loved him. He was super nice and funny and great and um and Seth went to and Seth those babies real because I saw her and then that's a man, how is it and says like, oh, yeah it was. It was weird, dude. He just did talking about weird. The whole experience was and yeah and then uh and then we had and I was like, wow, okay, jud saying it yeah, and like Judd's so good to start struck and all, and Seth is like, I don't know, man,

I thought it was a totally uncomfortable whole experience. And then we went on a talk show in Australia to promote Knocked Up and somebody asked him and he said the same thing on this live talk show. That's what I mean. Seth doesn't care. He'll say it. I just weird. I so respect it, all right, No more people, This

is just the Matt Sue scene. And knocked Up is so cherished by everybody, especially sports fans, because we've all been there where you're telling your wife and and she's thinking or girlfriend, there's something suspicious going on and you just want to be with the boys. Right the Matt Sue scene itself, How does Matt Sue's name get mentioned? What's the okay? So I told we all work on these scripts together. And I during the time, I said,

I was doing fantasy sports. Judd knows nothing about sports. I said, we put in a thing with fantasy, you know, like a fantasy. So so we're kind of construct the whole thing. Put that it makes the movie. We're gonna do this scene. Um, and so I because because I know that, I'm like, all right, I have to nobody knows even like I have to write out the draft on the board because I know somebody's gonna freeze it and they're gonna look, there's no way Carlos Delgado would go.

But by the way, I put Delgado in there. I put Delgado in there because always like Delgado. I always liked Delgado because I liked his I liked his his political stance, and I'm like, good for this guy, Like I was a fan and his best and his best friend was Sean green Jew so I loved him. Uh And but I'm like writing down all of like who uh, it would go in the first round house. I'm like, all right, I want to go this and it gets down.

I know Matt Sue. I'm doing the snake draft. I'm writing it in, I'm writing all the names, and I know Matt Suey would last for Deckie or Kaz. I was a Kaz guy. I like it that you want a seven. It was Hideki all the bit. I know, yeah, you know, props the cast. But I'm like, I got Matt Suey one because I thought I got Matt sue would sound funny. It's like, hey, I got and getting excited about getting Matt Sue And two I had Matt Sue and I was stoked. I was like, Matt Sue's awesome.

Plus I also really liked it that came out great play. I mean, my gosh, you live in New York. I'm like, yeah, great player, so good. And he also just you know, it seemed like a great guy. Yeah, so that's who I want to call out. Oh my god. And it made the movie and the movie and I'm still there's probably so many lines you get yelled at you, but I'm sure, yeah, Matt Sue, it's probably barely ever really barely. Ever, what's the line you get them? Here's something and this

is you know, uh slap the bass. That's one. That's one I get. That's the one I get the most. Um I hit Matt su is super clutch. And when I was doing the play with Julia Roberts, Um, I never met Matt Sue. I don't know that he's tell me he's there back No, no, no, he wasn't. He's got brick a leg uh uh and so but I remember one time calling Julia Roberts like, Jack, you like Matt Sue, You're just your clutch, You're just great name.

And so I um, I remember on it was our opening night and I was able to somehow to procure signed signed baseball from Hedeki Matt Sue to Julia Roberts signed I hope. So I haven't thought about it since this story, but I know I've still never met Matt Sue. I'm sure Matt Sue was like, I don't know who he just signed it. I don't know how. I remember

I went through their dude Paul Rudd. Getting a Signeddeki Matsui to give to Julia was on Broadway is one of the great random, there's their catcher's coach was Mike Uh at the time on Borg, I was Mike Borders. No, I don't remember. I went through Uh yeah, it was a Yankees. I think the catching no catching coach. I'm blanking on his name, and I feel terrible because I'd love to give him a shout out because he's Mike Borsello. I was like, more borgnzi's miz with the team. So

he made that happen. And I think I found him through Joe buck Uh. It was just I was like, I gotta get a sign Matt Suey ball for Julia Roberts. Um, he made it happen. Mike, if you're listening, thank you. Last one. We're gonna end it with football. It's been so good. I didn't even get to ask you about Tim Robinson, who I wanted to talk about. Come on next. I mean also like Nathan Fielder or like Tim and Eric and looks out like breaking the wall. Oh dude,

who does what he does? That guy is so funny, so good. Um, if you're building an NFL all time team, and we do all these lists, we do the top one hundred, we do the seventy five Anniversary team. We do the If you, Paul Rudd, are building an NFL team, you can construct it. The first player you're selecting to build everything around is whom. I really think there's one answer to this question, Tom Brady. I mean, how is it not right if you're going defense? I keep thinking

like Lawrence Taylor. Maybe, yeah, but I think it's gotta be Brady. It's gotta be Brady. It has to be right. It has to be It's Brady. I mean seven rings. Now, as a Chiefs fan, you watched the Patriots rip your heart out several times. Then you watch the Buccaneers beat you guys in a Super Bowl. Yeah, Brady could could easily be a foe an opponent, a guy you can again you have just respect excellence. Yeah. I mean, I'm not a Patriots fan at all, and obviously I really

wanted the Chiefs to beat the Seers the Super Bowl badly. Um, But you know, my son said to me, goes, how lucky are we that we get to be fans of football and we're alive and we get to see Tom Brady play. And that's kind of it's kind of the it's the truth. It's what he's done and is doing is just incredible. And I was like when they were both playing and it was like Pat and I was like, what do you think Peyton Manning or Tom Brady? You away? I was always Manning, No man, I was always Peyton

man was Payt Manning, Peyton Manning, Paint Manning. And now and I said, Brady still here, We've done like it's Tom Brady, Yeah, yeah it is. And there's Paul Rodd. Dude, thank you, thank you. This is a blast. Well, I tell you something, what do you got. I'm exhausted, I'm emotionally corecked. We just went through the games? Did it? We just did it? All? Didn't feel good? I feel I feel cleansed, didn't feel right? Was this being or

did did you guys press play? Because I you know, I'm ready to take on the world right now, let's go, let's run through a wall. All right? That was incredible, full hour. I appreciate you, thank you, thank you. I've loved this. Thanks so the chiefs. And I actually ran out of air when I said it was all that nil. Well, people don't realize that we're doing the show from fifteen thousand mile high. Um. Speaking of mile High AFC West Broncos.

Let's get back to the Chiefs. The Chiefs and I have been talking and I said, you know, Paul's coming on the season with Peter Schreeger at the podcast downloaded today. I want to get him something very specific so he can rock it next time he goes to a Chiefs game. So I'm gonna give you this gift. I want you to open this. It's from me and the equipment guys at the Kansas City Chiefs, and I want to shut out Brad Gee, who is one of the PR guys

who was just amazing. It is one of one, and I think you are going to love this player and mock this jersey. My hands are shaking. It's a Christmas all right. So you have the jersey. I got a way White, which we love. Yeah, Way White. The Isaiah put Chaco. Yeah Isaiah, that's a seventh round pick. Oh my god, I gotta put Chaco. You got Pachacot because you can't get these. I know you can't get these. That's Alan Williams and the boys and the equipment staff.

When you know, when you were talking about like what storylines, like this guy didn't know it and we talked about story two siblings. Yeah, both to horrific stories. And he has rose above and they call him pop. He hasn't had a lot of carries in the last two weeks, but you know that when it comes crunch time, that jersey is gonna be the you put it on if

you want. But Chaco, guys, but Chaco putting it on right now, it's uh, you know, it's still it's still I gotta say, it's still a little weird to see the number ten cheese jersey. You know. But this is like how you turn the page from Tyreek. Well, by the way, here's another thing. I just want to say, this can if I can just take him. I love Tyreek. I love him. And when people are like, oh, he didn't have an Allegiance team and you know, forget Tyreek and now he's like saying bad stuff, like I hate

it when fans do that. I will never I will always love Tyreek for what he did for the Chiefs. I love him. I hope he I'm so happy for the Daily got in Miami. I hope he just crushes it and breaks records, has an amazing career, an amazing time in Miami. I will always root for him. I always root for the Chiefs more. Yeah, but I will always root love it for Tyreek, and I love him. And I feel this way about all Chiefs players that leave. I don't get sour grapes. Tyron Matthews put that ten on.

It feels better than talking about Tyreek. Right now, let's go back and oh my god, I'll be wearing this. I'll be wearing this Sunday when I see the Chiefs take on the forty nine ers. Let's go. I'll wear this in the bye week, just when I'm going shopping. By the way, I don't go to shop. People shop for me. Of course. That's it. Yeah, I've got a staff. It's good.
