Hour 3: Live from Super Bowl LX with Steve Smith Sr. & Adam Ray, plus Higher Register

25:21Rich Eisen:So we saw you just a couple weeks ago, right? And I mapped it out for you. I mapped it out for you. I mapped it out because you're coming off your bye. And you're getting a little bit nervous because here come the Niners after beating the Eagles. They won and done the Eagles. and I'm like, here's what you're going to do. You're going to beat the Niners, then you're going to beat the Rams. You said that. And then you're going to go to the home of the Niners and beat the Patriots. That's what you're going to do. That's the ultimate. What an ultimate sort of settling of all family business, like the end of The Godfather, right?

25:51Rich Eisen:Like, that's it. You might as well just set it to music and let's go. And you're like, you got all fired up about it, and look what's happening. Look what happens when you – I'm not a true believer in – but if he manifests it and you put it out – You know, I don't have crystals. I probably will become that person in my 60s. But, like, this feels like the way it's supposed to happen. And you putting that out there, Rich, felt like a fun thing to say on the show. And the fact that it's actually happening is wild. Yeah. And, you know, I know Brock loves his pats. And, you know, you're feeling strong.

26:27You seem oddly confident for a team that I think is going to just get trampled over. Trampled over. And I love you, too. Has been called. Friendship goes out the window on Sunday. um i think you know i was i was eerily confident for the um hawks niners game uh when we beat them i think 13 no the i'm sorry the uh first um playoff game the playoff game yeah i just people kept asking me and i was like oh you know you never know i didn't want to get too high too low and then i'd say two days prior i was like i honestly think it's going to be a beat down i think our d is just too fast and quick we're at home them being beat up you know obviously is a factor but they still any given Sunday and then uh what happened happened and you know the Rams obviously was the true test it is you know Super Bowl Sunday anything can happen we haven't played you guys but I think um I just think that RD is going to get to Drake May a little too quick and a little too fast and a little too much and I think 23 years old all this kid knows is tick tock and butt chugging and he is he's going to uh he's gonna just be like you know that's not that's how he sounds but he's gonna he's gonna be like me when i got my pinky dislocated times 10 he's gonna see he's gonna he's gonna see the real ghost he's gonna scream casper and pay homage to sammy d and um and it's gonna be a day that he'll never forget just like the chargers d was supposed to do and the texans d i heard so much about okay here we go yeah okay i was supposed to be the best in the league.

27:54Just like those did? Just like those did. Got it. He hasn't faced his D. I think this D is more superior. Sam Darnold hasn't faced ours, so we'll see. That first quarter Sam Darnold turnover, I'm going to send you a video.

28:08Rich Eisen:Please. Would you really do that during the game? Or just because... We're friends. And I'll say... During the game, you don't want to... Emotions are going to be running high. No, no. It's fine. Mid-game smack talk? I welcome it because there is true love and admiration between us. But there are, you bring up a good point though, Rich. There are friends and people that we all have in our lives that will send like talking smack texts that are just, you don't like, there's a kid. I don't want to say his name. Say it. Lucas Sealy. He's a comedian. He's, I don't actually even know if he's doing it anymore.

28:42So that should be the real jab. But he is - The talking smack or comedy? The talking smack. What's he not doing anymore? He's out of control, and it's like he lived in Seattle for 15 years, but he's a Niners fan. And so every time there's a rivalry or any game, like when we, you know, lost against him to go to the Super Bowl, I think a few years back, or in one of the playoffs. Oh, that happened. They've beaten us down quite a few times in the last 10 years, and he just is so disrespectful. And then he starts taking jabs at the city. I think he made a jab at my stepdad, and it gets too much. Mid-game?

29:14Mid-game?

29:15Rich Eisen:Mid-game. Well, I will say this to you. I will say this to you. You may not know, Adam, but we can all attest to this. Nobody prematurely calls a game over only to actually have the game be a complete momentum flip than Chris Brockman. Yes, that is true. He is the king of saying game over. No way. Like in the first quarter, game over. Second quarter, game over. This is surprising. Game's over. And then about, I would say, four out of five times, not only is the game not over, but the result completely. No, I am usually. Absolutely. TJ, help me out with this one. I am right about this. I'm with you, Rich.

29:52Rich Eisen:I'll cut the, I'll say three out of five. Three out of five. You'll cut it down a little bit? Yeah, a little bit. Okay. So if Drake may, you know, slips and slides through to a first down on a fourth and one and then they score on the first drive, are you going to text me game over? If it's 14-0, I will text you game over. 14-0 is game over. If it's 14-0, you're going to text game over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Mr. Comeback from 28 to 3 is game over. I mean, that game was over. He calls games over. And it wasn't. And yet it wasn't. And the game was basically over. And yet it wasn't. Tom Brady was retired.

30:23Rich Eisen:The aforementioned Sarah Tiana, who's walking around here, will absolutely recall that it was not over. We don't talk about Bruno or that game at all. Everybody loves Bruno Mars. You should always talk about Bruno. No, that's not the Bruno. In canto. You're not there yet. I'm trying to make a joke, Rich. All right, let's move on. You know what? If you're going to send me a video of a Sam pick, I will send you a video of the fourth quarter Sam throwing his fourth TD pass of the day. Four. To put the game out of reach and make it 31-16, maybe 31-10. Wow. Yeah, not going to be close, man. Wow. But thanks for playing.

30:58Rich Eisen:Really? You're going to be on your phone during Super Bowl 60 sending texts. No. See, that's the thing. I'm going to be at the game. So you're going to have a lot more. Be and Cage are going to be home together, eating wings and funfetti cake. Nice. Now, I just met your son for the first time, and I told him I'm a big fan, which is true. I mean, my wife and I are in that stage of trying to have kids. I'll send you a link. But I truly, and I mean this wholeheartedly, I have friends with cool, cute kids that look fun. There is no cooler kid on IG of any of my friends than your son. There you go.

31:37Hands down. but that being said I hope you don't embarrass him when Sam throws his I'm going to raise it now fifth TD fifth TD I hope you don't I hope you say something bold predictions I hope you don't say something you regret in front of him I hope you set a good example on Super Bowl Sunday yes you know take him outside for a walk be like dude life isn't fair sometimes things don't go your way yes you know sometimes you know you turn on the TV and you know they push Saturday morning cartoons for some sort of like you know White House briefing so you know you just always have to be ready and in triple threat.

32:10Triple threat, I think, is applicable for on the court and off the court. So you're right. Well, he's standing right there listening there. Yeah. Well, I mean, we have a few minutes left in the segment.

32:19Rich Eisen:How much longer do we have to go to we get six touchdowns? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm just – I honestly think he's going to have – Are we getting there now? Give me another take. Maybe we'll get to six touchdowns. I don't know how much – Oh, man, that's crazy. I think four is not crazy. What is the record? Did Kevin Hart say Nick Foles? Steve Young had six, right? Steve Young had six. Steve Young had six. Sam D 'Arnold to throw four-plus passing touchdowns, 11-1. Adam Ray, 11-1. 11-1. You know, the only bets I ever made on the Super Bowl were on the Eagles-Pats. When I was in, I was with Adam Devine.

32:52We were touring in Japan, doing all the Army bases, and we landed at 6 a.m. in Shibuya, Japan. Yes. And we went to a Hooters at 8 a.m., as you do, speaking of wings. And we went, what's up, Cage? and quick edit on that joke. And we went to Shibuya to Hooters to watch the Super Bowl, and I made two bets. One was for the Eagles just to win straight up, and the other was pink over under on the national anthem. And my psycho friend Greg, who has a gambling problem and whose marriage is falling apart, well, because of it. Send a link. I'll send a link. Send a link. Rich. Dude. There we go, buddy. We'll be right back.

33:29Right here. But he told me. He slipped into Phil right there, by the way. He goes, pink has a cold. He goes, so take the under. I go, who are you? How do you know pink has a cold? He goes, don't worry about it. And she went 148, and I won$1 ,000. Because you had the inside information. I had the insider track on whether or not she was using flotin.

33:48Rich Eisen:What, he's running her in a CVS where she's getting some sort of, she's getting mucinex? Uh-oh. Look out. He's the Adam Schefter of people being sick. Of flu shots. Medical flu shots, yeah. My sources tell me. Yeah. so I might take that but I think Sammy's going to have a day I think he is just so dialed in again I've known him now for coming up on 89 years and I think he is just as focused as ever and I think he's just not even phased man I talked to him probably four days ago and he just is like I was like man you guys you know their offensive line hasn't faced our D line I think we're going to get through more than we did with Stafford and he kind of laughed and I was like I think it's going to be a beat down he was like alright man He's like, you know, it's still Super Bowl Sunday.

34:32They're going to bring their best. And I was like, nah, man, you guys are going to win. And he was like, I got to go. I was like, all right. Who's going to show up more, though, in the stadium?

34:39Rich Eisen:Is it going to be Seattle? You guys don't travel well. We travel incredibly. Patriot fans travel very well. Nobody travels like Niner fans, so that's for sure. It's only an hour flight for us. That's it. Five, six for you guys. Yeah, it is a bigger trip. I actually hope it feels like a road game because the Patriots are 9-0 on the road. This guy, man. Wow. Yeah, there you go. Got a point. I also think I heard a stat. It was like 40 % of the time Drake May gets pressured to get sacked. There's also the Patriots don't lose in these uniforms also. A white uniform. Although Seattle makes Super Bowls when they choose a new Pope.

35:19Rich Eisen:What are some other things that we heard this week that we have no idea? Starting quarterbacks with initials DM are 0-2. Oh, is that right? And if your name has less than five letters, you're 0-6. so not good for May. Who pulls these stats out? Bored people. Very bored people. It makes when you guys are out here for a week just yapping around, you need fun anecdotes like that. We need the game to start. Can you make a pick or do you have to stay pretty neutral? I'm going to make a pick. But not until Super Bowl Sunday. Well, I mean, sure. Probably not until tomorrow's show because I don't want to give too much of a tip to the game day morning guys.

35:54Rich Eisen:I love that. I'll be honest, though. I'd be stunned if... I don't know who's taking the Patriots on Sunday. A lot of people are. A lot of people are not. Walking around the media row, a lot of people were telling me, like, Hawks was doing Cam Hayward's pod, Joey Porter was there, and he goes, I got to root for the Pats because my nephew's on the team. And then he said, and he's like, but I think the Seahawks have the edge. He's like, but I'm going to go, Pats. And I've heard that more than I thought I would. But I also like that. The way it was in 2013 when no one picked us and everyone picked the Broncos, You don't want, I mean, I don't know.

36:28How do you feel? Do you want the hype? Do you think they're probably just so immune? It doesn't matter.

36:32Rich Eisen:The thing is, it's totally beyond mattering now. Now it's all just hunkering down, have the right game plan, be able to execute it. And in all honesty, you know, the Rams could have easily been here if something went different on those two third and fourth down plays inside the six-year-old. Entire seasons come down to executing in the moment. And the Seahawks did a better job of it. And they're here as opposed to the Rams because of that just one microcosm, one small moment. And I don't know who that moment is going to be for on Sunday night, and it all comes down to that, man. But it won't matter if Darnold's already got six touchdowns.

37:14Rich Eisen:Six touchdowns. By the third quarter. K-9's got – By halftime? Where are we going here? That's crazy talk. But I think – I don't know. That's – I think K-9's going to go for over 100. I think Ernest Jones is going to have his sixth pick of the year. And I think, I just think the D is just going to, it's just going to be a shutdown, shutdown city in Seattle is going to be the mayor. Seeing Puga Nakua, by the way, playing the flag football game made me so happy. I mean, what a, what an emotional rollercoaster. Literally you're at the Superbowl and you're like, I should be here playing and you're playing in a flag football game, but you know what?

37:45I'll give him credit. He was bouncing around, having a good time. I don't know if he was on four local or plan B, but he was like, he just had, he had that Winnie the Pooh Tigger energy, you know, where he was just bouncing around. Oh, yeah. He's got, like, very youthful. I mean, he's also, what, 22?

37:57Rich Eisen:He is. He's a young, very young kid. Incredible, by the way. Shooting shots, saying he loves skydiving, a Sydney Sweeney. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. What is he doing? He's trying to go skydiving. Going for it. Wait, so he wants to go skydiving with Sydney Sweeney? Oh, she tweeted out that she loves skydiving, or she wants to take up skydiving, and he's like, I like skydiving. What she likes in men or something? Yeah, yeah. It was like, I like skydiving. I look, I'm a skydiver. Shoot your shot. You gotta shoot your shot. You gotta shoot your shot. It's so funny, my buddy Norm, who's here with me, was - Norm.

38:25Shout out to Norm, Ravens fan, so big Mikey McD fan. And he goes, I was talking, I was at a restaurant in Venice, and he's like, I had a very attractive waitress, and we started chumming it up. And he's like, I got her number. And she goes, hey, so I just wanna let you know, I am talking to somebody else. And he was like, oh, all right. And she's like, yeah, it's somebody on the Rams. And he was like, oh, is it Puga Nakua? and she goes, I'll be back with you, A-Girls. It is. So, you know, but I told Norm, I go, you should have told her he's not going to have time for you. You know, this guy's too busy.

38:58I got all the time in the world. All I'm doing is traveling with Adam Ray and, you know, getting him coffee. That's right, and he's playing flag football. He's playing flag football. So Norm's packing more heat, and he's got a sweeter smile. All right, final score. Give me the final score.

39:11Rich Eisen:Final score. What do you got? Final score. Final score. If you're right, if you're right. Again, the rule here is if you're right, we'll repeat it. If not, it never happened. What do you got? First of all, I love you guys. Thank you for always opening your arms and hearts to me to be on the show. It's always so fun. And to be able to be here, you know, we were here last year, and that was also just as fun, but it's extra special and extra, you know, just exciting to be talking about your own squad. Everybody knows what that feels like. But there can only be one winner at the end of the day, and I think the Seahawks are going to have a defensive masterpiece of a game.

39:44Final score. See, that's the Puka Nakua. do you want to go skydiving horn? That's, that's, I think it's going to be, the word horn is in the word. I think, I think it's going to be Seahawks final score 28, Pats 21. Oh, well that's not a defensive, I mean, 28 to six would be like, Seahawks 28, Pats nine. Okay. You're not going to get double digits.

40:10Rich Eisen:Hey, so, you know, hey, Borgalis is going to have a day. All right. Three field goals. Burnham. You're all psyched. All right. All right. We're on it. AdamRayComedy.com. I love it. I love it. February 6th and 7th in Austin, Texas. Yep, this weekend. So I fly out tomorrow morning. And then you come back? Fly back Sunday morning like a second. Dude. I didn't feel like canceling on Joe Rogan. He's not a big sports guy. I'm not even sure if he knows what football is. So I just was like, I can't. I can't. That's a joke, Joe. Don't beat me up. But he, yeah, I just. Okay. The show's sold out quick. I couldn't move him.

40:42Okay. So I'm going to fly out tomorrow, fly back Sunday, go right to the game. We have our bags being dropped off, and I'll go right to the tailgate.

40:50Rich Eisen:And Royal Oak, Michigan. Why not spend Valentine's Day in Minneapolis with you? Of course you do. And then Cary, North Carolina. I've been told that show's almost now sold out.

43:45Rich Eisen:It's time for our higher register here on the Rich Eisen Show on a Thursday for Super Bowl 60. And I think we'll get the higher register Brockman. That's right. The one who actually has the higher register voice. Cage Brockman has made it on TV and radio. What's up, Cagey? What's up, Cagey? All right. So are you going to have Cage read your higher register? Yeah, yeah. I don't think he knows how to actually read yet, but. Okay. We'll get there. It's time to go higher register for Super Bowl 60. Hit it. There's a chance. The Rich Eisen shows. That there could be. Higher register. take of the week.

44:27Rich Eisen:Are you doing the graphic? Okay. Hold on to Cage. Cage, do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Hey. All right, Chris, you're first up. What do you got? A lot of talk. We've been talking with Adam Ray about the defenses, and he thinks Seattle's going to shut down the Patriots offense, and I think the Patriots offense is going to kind of rattle Sam Darnold, but when I really think about this game, I think that both quarterbacks throw for 300 yards, and get ready for a shootout. Yeah. That's it. Get Cage got it down. Okay. You think they're going to actually have a shootout? Get ready for a shootout on Sunday.

45:02Rich Eisen:TJ, what do you got over there? Well, I think my higher register is going to be quite the opposite of his because years ago they used to say, I think, you know, Mahomes did away with this, but they used to say defense wins championships. Sure. Yeah. Lately it doesn't seem to be the case, but I think this year based upon what we saw, a defensive player is going to win the MVP of the silver. I like it. It's happened when Seattle's Super Bowl win was a defensive player. It could happen again. I like it. Listen, we talked about it with Kurt Warner. Tom Brady's got a statue. He's got those banners in New England.

45:37Rich Eisen:And three of those banners, he won with the current head coach of the New England Patriots. But he says he has no real skin in this game. It's just, hey, whoever wins Super Bowl VI, he wins, is what he said. And Chris Brockman's like, listen, what's he going to say when he's trying to hire the Seattle coach to be his Raiders head coach right now. There's a bigger fish for Tom Brady to fry than just the New England Patriot fan base is what he has to say. That's not a problem. But my higher register is deep down I think Brockman does have a problem with Tom Brady.

46:13Rich Eisen:Deep down I think Cage, I think your dad is really not cool with Tom Brady not rooting for the Patriots opening. You know what? I've done a little bit of a flip, I think, just during our show. Here's what I think. Who was more driven by inner motivation and slights than Tom Brady? Tom Brady is actually reverse engineering this. You heard Robert Spillane today was like, I think it's ridiculous that he's not rooting for us. This is what Tom's doing. He is literally giving his team that he loves more than anything bulletin board material. So I think you now coming up with that excuse, that BS reverse psychology excuse, makes me think you really aren't cool with it.

46:59Rich Eisen:Yeah, baby. Who wins the Super Bowl, Cage? Who wins the Super Bowl? Patriots. There you go. Let's go. Come out to play. Well, Cage doesn't know his way around the city. Good enough.
