1:29Rich Eisen:I'm very fortunate to do what I do for a living. This is the Rich Eisen Show. Time to reach out to Chris Webber. From the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Is this team the best? This is one of the best teams I've ever watched play before, let alone one of the best at Michigan. Earlier on the show. WWE superstar Seth Rollins. NFL draft writer for The Athletic. Dane Brugler. Coming up. comedian Nate Bargetsy. And now, Rich Eisen. Hour number three of the Rich Eisen show is on the air and one of the best comedians on planet Earth. Popular is all get out. Nate Bargetsy is in our studio this very hour.

2:13Rich Eisen:The Breadwinner, his new movie, May 29th, Mandy Moore, Will Forte. Oh, I had no idea Dr. James Naismith was in this film. Kamil Nanjiani and Moore. If you remember Mr. Mom from back in the day, it's a very similar plot line. He's great in it. The Greatest Average American on ABC. Available now on Hulu as well. His Big Dumb Eyes Tour. So much to talk about with Nate Bergetti, who loves himself to play some golf as well. Keeping an eye on the Masters throughout the day. And we have been doing so with Seth Rollins in Hour One. Dane Brugler of The Athletic. The Beast, 2 ,700 different prospects broken down in the draft, has been released on The Athletic.

2:54Rich Eisen:We just went down that rabbit hole with him in hour number two. If you missed any of it, there's our podcast version of the show. All three hours available wherever you get your podcasts. There's also our YouTube channel, youtube.com slash RichEyesandShow. That's where you can get all of our podcasts as well, over Reaction Monday on Monday. No Contest Wrestling, TJ Jefferson, the latest posted yesterday, correct? Yesterday, we got the young OG Javon Evans, 21 years old, making his WrestleMania debut. He's got an intercontinental title match and a six-man ladder match. So 21 years old, man. Like, unbelievable.

3:29Rich Eisen:The future is so bright for this. Are you zeroing in on 100 episodes of No Contest Wrestling? Yesterday was our 80th. 80th. Okay. So you're in the neighborhood. You're in the environment. We're in the neighborhood. You're sort of like Artemis II. You're going around. You're circling. Circling. Okay. 100. Started the show by also announcing that I'm hosting SportsCenter on Sunday night from Bristol, Connecticut. Midnight Eastern time. And it's going to be a blast. It's going to be on after Inside the NBA, I'm told. So if you had told me that once upon a time, Ernie Johnson and Shaq and Kenny and Charles be tossing to me doing SportsCenter, I'd be like, what?

4:08Rich Eisen:And I believe that's happening Sunday night, midnight Eastern. I'm excited about all of that. That's awesome. And a very exciting announcement coming up as soon as we're done with Nate involving a show that we produce out of here in this studio. I'm dropping a lot of breadcrumbs, but that will be announced in about a half an hour. And we'll wait till Nate leaves and pop it out here for everyone to hear on the Rich Eisen Show. So stay tuned for that, if you don't mind. Let's go to the phone lines here. Sean in Scranton, PA, has been on hold for quite some time. What's up, Sean? Hey, Rich. First of all, as great as springtime romance has been, I have to go with, hopefully you're going to play Porpoise Mouth the rest of the week for the updates on golf.

4:54Rich Eisen:I had no idea we'd be having requests. Do you want Porpoise Mouth playing underneath your take or your opinion or your question for the rest of this interview, Sean? You could do that. That would be fantastic. Okay. As per requested by Sean in Scranton, PA, can you hit the music, please? Sure. All right, Sean, what do you got? I never thought I'd be asking a question with porpoise mouth in the background. This is fantastic. Dreams come true. I don't know. Now, what are we going to do with our stinking jets here for the draft? What do we do with all of our picks? I'm so confused. I don't know what to do.

5:32Rich Eisen:I know you guys know. I know. It doesn't really fit porpoise mouth for the plaintiff complaints of a Jet fan. No, no. It's more soothing than the subject matter.

5:50Rich Eisen:You could play, I don't know. If only Porpoise Mouth was playing. Maybe in the background. By the way, great dissolve by John Monaco, our director, to a shot of Aaron Glenn. A dissolve is what Porpoise Mouth, I think, is worthy of. You know, if they had only played Porpoise Mouth when they drafted Johnny Lamb Jones back in the day, it would have helped me. I think it would help the moment. Solving porpoise mouth. Why is porpoise? Oh, yeah. All right. This is getting off the rails a little bit. All right. Take the music down. It just doesn't help. Sean, we just heard you've been on hold. Dane Brugler has Arvel Reese as his top prospect.

6:30Rich Eisen:That's a new one for me. Because I think DJ has either, was it Fernando Mendoza or Jeremiah Love? One of the two. and he's got Arvel Reese at the top. He says he's the best prospect in the draft and if the Jets agree then that's it. That's a two. Then obviously the Jets have another pick right in the middle of the first round thanks to Tradingway Sauce Gardner and that's the pick that I really have my eye on because that's the pick that a Jet fan like you in Scranton, Pennsylvania demanding porpoise mouth is going to be it's being asked of you by the Jets front office and ownership to believe in the players that they are going to draft using the capital of the guys that they trade away that once upon a time you were asked by management and the front office to believe in that draft choice as being the ones to help turn things around so that's the one that i'm i'm looking to see and i have no idea that that could be that's that's the best player available because the jets do have a ton of needs sean so yeah i hope that's a good answer for what i just said oh it's fantastic i appreciate it thank you sean call back tomorrow we'll we'll play anything you want by request okay you got it that's sean in scranton pennsylvania part of the lunacy here on espn2 dj has fernando mendoza one uh jeremiah love two and he's what reese three uh reese is five david bailey and yeah sonny style he likes bailey more yeah and i went just tie register but i think he believes that bailey is already the polished pass rusher straight up fingers in the dirt guy and reese is going to have to grow into more of an all-around role.

8:07Rich Eisen:I don't know. I shouldn't speak for him. Maybe that's what I'll ask Daniel when he's on SportsCenter Sunday night. Do it. Do you think Porpoise Mouth is like the whole music when you call the Dolphins facility? Here we go. Again, I just believe, again, that the... Do you play the music again to inspire me to actually describe it? Which one, sir? Porpoise Mouth. What else? I mean, this is what the name of the song is. Again, I think it's inspired by you're on the open seas. It's a beautiful day. You hear the water lapping up against the side of your schooner, your yacht. You've just christened because it's easy to grin.

8:50Rich Eisen:Okay. It's full of scoff. And you got the stock market beat. Okay. I don't know who does have that today or anybody, but I digress. Of course. And you see the porpoise cresting to the side of the boat. Now, I wouldn't choose mouth as the second word. Blowhole might not be good either. You pull a Titleist out. You know, porpoises, TJ, you mentioned the dolphins maybe facility. There are some differences between porpoises and dolphins, in case you were wondering. Dolphins are generally larger and more acrobatic. They have prominent beaks, while porpoises are smaller, a little shy, less vocal, rounded.

9:37Rich Eisen:Stop. Stop. I am so glad I chose that. Dylan in Alabama. Let's take line one, please. What's up, Dylan? What's going on? Hey, Rich. Hey. Hey, big fan of the show. Thank you. Hey, I had a quick question for you guys. Tune in to y 'all show every day. And I know the last couple weeks, Ty Simpson has come up. He sure has. One of the things working against him is lack of starts. My question to you guys is, do you think there is a GM or maybe GMs in the league that look at Ty Simpson and him staying at Alabama, sitting behind Jalen Milrow for two years, staying with the program through a major coaching change, different coordinators?

10:26I guess in an era of college football where it would have been extremely easy to leave. I mean, he stayed and stuck through it.

10:35Rich Eisen:Do you think GMs look at that as something very favorable? Maybe. I don't know. Looking at his draft stock? I guess. I mean, what, loyalty? Or stick-to-itiveness? Or, sure. I mean, I'm sure there are other many traits. And this is why I want him on. I would love to kick the tires on Ty Simpson in a manner in which I'm sure, not like I'm going to put him on a grease board or anything like that, but just to see what's going on under the hood. I'm sure there are many terrific qualities that are intangibles that teams are going to fall in love with. But it's all going to match the tape, though, Dylan.

11:12Rich Eisen:And the question is, again, it's not only the lack of experience, but it's the experience that he had in the back half of his year in Alabama. hammer that's the that's the evaluation it's just like how much have we seen that we can extrapolate to the professional level it feels makes us feel comfortable to actually use a first round pick on him and capital to get back potentially in the first round to go get him combined with uh how much um the end of his season although he did win playoff game um how much the end of his season and um you know plays in you know his health and and to overlook some of the his his experiences there, Dylan?

11:48Rich Eisen:I don't know the answer to that, but you're basically saying, and thanks for the call, is there AGM in the league? There's always one, man, and that's all it takes. That's the phrase you hear all the time. It just takes one. It just takes one. And I just don't know if anybody's identifying when you're looking at the 32 draft choices right now who the one is going to be. And I think a lot of people are having trouble placing him in the first round. But that could change between now and the draft. A lot of people may be holding cards close to the vest. They don't want to mess around. Let anything out there.

12:26Rich Eisen:All right, 844-204-RICH, number to dial. If you're on hold, stay on hold and enjoy the conversation we're about to have with one of the funniest men on planet Earth. One of our favorites is back here in studio. His film, called The Breadwinner, is in theaters nationwide May 29th. Nate Bergetzi is next right here on The Rich Eisen Show.

Outstanding good times, good fun with Nate Bergetze here on the program.

16:45Rich Eisen:So The Breadwinner is just a bunch of fun. I've seen the trailer for it because it's coming out soon. Yeah. and it involves, I'll give you the floor on what it is about. Yeah, it's my, you remember Mr. Mom? I do. So it's a modern version of that. That movie's on. I wanted to make movies like this. I was a big fan of John Hughes movies, which is Home Alone, Mr. Mom. Of course. Playing Trains on me, it was that kind of stuff. And so we thought of this, and this fits a lot with my act and being my first stand-up movie. But we have Mandy Moore is my wife. She is a stay-at-home mom. She invents something, goes on Shark Tank.

17:27And so then while she's doing that, I have to stay home and raise the kids. And it's done in a great way where it's, you know, it's not like it's like I'm a, you're just a dumb dad that doesn't know it. But it's just like any role reversal in a marriage, we're showing you the first month where it's going to be a big, big adjustment.

17:57Rich Eisen:A big mess. A big mess. No doubt. And while watching the trailer, Nate, I was thinking there were some serious Mr. Mom vibes. Yes. And I'm glad that you mentioned that first up because I was going to mention it to you as well. I'm a huge fan of that movie from back in the day with Michael Keaton playing a dad while Terry Garr was needing to make ends meet. And you were taking care of the kids, and you were thoroughly not equipped to do so at all. Yeah, it's like every, you know, my wife goes out of town. I mean, it's, you know, we're going to McDonald's. We're going to McDonald's even if she's in town.

18:35But, I mean, I then don't have to look her in the face when I do it. I enjoy it, actually. So when she's out of town, it's a win-win. Right. Because I'm just going, you know, we're going all out. Yeah. Mix it up, Taco Bell, McDonald's. Yeah, exactly.

18:54Rich Eisen:You know. So, again, I'm in a situation at home where I'm thoroughly not equipped. Yeah. Either. And the kids know, even when my wife is around, I'm the go-to guy for things that would not pass go otherwise. You know what I'm saying? Yes, I'm the same way. She comes right to me. She knows. I get a lot of calls, like spending the night. I know I get a lot of calls first. And then you're like, well, have you called? Does your mom know? And she's like, yeah, she's going to be like, it's fine. Or she'll say, she said, it's up to you. I don't even know if she's called her. I can see my wife, my daughter is very good at working the system.

19:37Yes. and getting, you know, so she sets it. She kind of sets you up. And I think all kids do. They kind of set you up where you don't, the two parents haven't really talked and no one knows what's going on. You've got to be on the same page. You've got to be on the same page. And so I guess what you should do in marriage is like have a huddle every morning to go right now, this morning. There's no plans at all. and then as the day goes, you're, you know, what's like a, you know, like a safe, like you're an undercover cop or something, something you would have to say to, I don't know that makes sense.

20:19Like if I was an undercover guy and I'd like spaghetti and you go spaghetti and we're, so I'm like, all right, so we're both under, but we're in this situation.

20:25Rich Eisen:Yes, we are. My, my, my issue is sometimes is when it's clear in real time, a huddle is required. Yes. And there's not going to be any downtime for that huddle. That's good. And then you need to defer in that situation for and then follow follow the the lead of your wife. Yes. And then back that play 100 percent. Yeah. Am I getting this right? Yeah. You got to go exact. Well, that's what she said. And that makes sense. When in hindsight, if they pulled you, if it was like a modern family where they interviewed you. you would be like, I don't care what happens.

21:09That's how it would play out. But then you would cut back to you and their family. Your mother said, there's no reason you shouldn't be doing that. You've got to back the play. You've got to back the play. Otherwise, there's blowback. And you've got to back their play. Whoever's the one at home, the floater just has to, you know whether the wife or you know whoever's the most with the kids yeah the floater needs to just like default to the you know the one that's there that's right the one that's in the thick of

21:44Rich Eisen:it the most correct you have to defer in that respect but in again this movie uh the breadwinner in theaters nationwide soon mandy moore plays your wife in the film um so what are you actually in real life though good at at home oh at home like where you where you are a factor like you can take the lead and you're actually good at it yeah at home uh what is it like like logistics like getting us there and okay uh you know like mapping things mapping things out like knowing on where to go um planning something like have making a decision on it can be something my wife is not great at decisions and it could be it's usually the dumb decisions where it's like i can be like no we're gonna go here we're gonna go there and like you know i'm great at uh disney i'm great at what do you mean you're great at disney like just when you go to disney just i mean i can map it out and i can which you know how to get from tomorrowland to yeah yeah like Well, yeah, just the plan that we're doing.

22:49Like, all right, today we go do this, then we do that. And if we're here, then we go here. You know, if we're an animal kingdom and then you want to swing here. Okay. They're closer. Let's go hit both. Okay. Whatever, you know, any kind of park, any kind of that kind of stuff. Moving us around. And fun. Okay. I'm also good at fun. And that's a big one. Yeah, that's probably, I might get in trouble for that. inside the family. But I am very fun. Games, I'll create some games. Like what? Like any game. We played one time, there's a card game called Grego. I don't know if there's a real name for it or if it's in a game.

23:33Basically, not a card game, a dice game. So you roll dice. Okay. And so you go zero to 100. And so it's the first one to get to 100. And then you can always stop. So if you get to like 25, you could like go, I want to stop at 25. Now you're at 25. If you roll once and then you can keep going. If you roll one snake eye, you go back to 25. If you roll two snake eyes, it's Grego, you go back to zero. So so then it gets to. So one day I thought, you know what? Let's have the girls like my daughter and my niece and nephew. And I go, let's play Grego. And then I put like 20 bucks down. So they're playing for 20 bucks.

24:1420 bucks? They're all like 10. You should not introduce your kids to gambling this early. So we're rolling the dice. Just as a note. Just as a note. Yeah, sure. Legally, they're not even supposed to be doing it. But in the house, I think there is no laws. Correct. So they're rolling the dice. I mean, they're going 30 and then stopping and then 35. And then they get to the end. And my one niece gets to 99. And so it's like all she's got to do is not get two snake eyes. She gets two snake eyes, goes all the way back to zero. Yeah. Starts bawling. So she's crying because it's the, you know, I just you're just kind of like, oh, we're just playing for 20 bucks.
