In short
“Overreaction Monday” sports talk plus World Cup and MLB/NBA/NFL chatter, capped by an in-studio interview with actor Joe LaTruglio promoting his film. The hosts debate: Japan’s World Cup knockout-round upset chances vs Brazil; Messi/Argentina as the tournament’s main storyline; Mets turmoil after Carlos Mendoza’s firing; whether Red Sox sweeping the Yankees is a sign of a playoff run; and NBA/LeBron/Draymond/Anthony Davis free-agency speculation.
Key claims
Red Sox hope is “not an overreaction,” but Yankees fans’ doom is “a proper reaction.” Japan holding Brazil would be a “massive” Round of 32 result. Messi scoring in seven straight World Cups is framed as unprecedented.
Notable examples
Japan vs Brazil (1-1 at one point); Red Sox sweeping Yankees; Knicks “crashing the Mets party”; Mets Mr. Met dancing behind a Mendoza-firing report video; Seth Rollins hosting WWE; Sean McVay vacation photo; “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass” Sundance/Tribeca stories.
Guests
Joe LaTruglio (actor; Jet fan; film “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass” in theaters July 10; ensemble cast includes Jon Hamm, Zoe Deutsch, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Ben Wang, Ken Marino, David Wayne, John Shattery).

This is the Rich Eisen Show. Receiving the Living Legend Icon Award tonight is none other than Rich Eisen. You'll be freaking kidding me. I can't believe it. Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Earlier on the show, actor Lionel Boyce.
1:48Rich Eisen:ESPN senior NBA writer Brian Wintors. Coming up, actor Joe Lotrulio. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Hour number three of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air. Two great hours, if I may say so, already in the books. Lionel Boyce of the Bear in hour number one in studio.

2:36Rich Eisen:You can also check out our podcast there, including the latest episode of this was sports center. My memory lane stroll with Chris Fowler has been out there for a few days. It will finish up on Friday with Craig Kilbourne. It being the first season of this was sports center. There's just many ways for you to check out our show when you don't see it live. and I just had a chat with Outstanding Human, one of our favorites. Joe LaTrulio, the actor, is in studio in hour number three. We'll bring him out. He's a Met Jet fan and his new film, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, is in theaters on Friday, July 10th.
3:18Rich Eisen:It's basically the people who helped create Wet Hot American Summer all getting together and acting and there's a bunch of people from that film in this movie. And the celebrity sex pass in question is Jon Hamm, who's in the film. And I'm wondering if Joe LaTrulio is telling him to draft faster in our best ball league because he's the one who holds up the draft more than anybody else. And I won it this year despite all that. So there's lots to talk about with Joe. And, you know, weave me into the story. True. Do you want this year? Okay. um so uh two uh explosions if you will in the state of sports explosions how many uh two uh in the state of texas one during the conversation with john uh pardon me while we're talking about with um uh brian windhorst japan scored yeah first in the knockout round against brazil if Japan holds on to beat Brazil in the second half of this knockout round match of the World Cup, OMG is all I have to say.
4:30Rich Eisen:That would be a massive, massive result in the round of 32, certainly in the southern hemisphere of this planet. Wow. So there's that going on. and the winner of this match takes on the winner of Norway and the Ivory Coast. And I'll just say this, man. The World Cup pool play, the, if you will, first round. Group stage, Richard. The group stages matches. Mike, appreciate that. Mike's a soccer. Mike's a soccer. This is how much World Cup is so great that you're actually paying attention to what you're working the fader. The number of times you're like, I don't know which game I'm doing tonight.
5:19Rich Eisen:And now you're like, it's group stage, Rich. Showing you up. It's kind of amazing. You're like telling me what offsides mean. This is a first round matchup, by the way. Brazil fifth in the world rankings right now. Japan 15. That's a terrific round of 32. It's called knockout round. But the first group stage, I guess, days on which, and you were on it the day it happened, Chris, the first time it happened, where Mbappe, Messi, and Holland were all playing on the same day and watching one guy top the other or cascade into the other. Awesome. Awesome. Just spectacular. And Norway not playing Holland in their third group stage match was just like, what are we doing here?
6:16Yeah.
6:16Rich Eisen:Well, they were already through. I understand. Chances of beating France, you know, unlikely anyway. But then the U.S. put Pulisic out there at the end. You know, like you're seeing Messi comes out and scores for a seventh straight World Cup match. Will we ever see that again on our lifetimes in the history of this? That somebody steps onto a pitch. in the World Cup seven straight times and scores each time. At least once. We'll see if Vinny can score for Brazil here because he's been spectacular so far. So here we go. Just great stuff. And that's happening in Houston. So that's one sports explosion.
6:53Rich Eisen:The other is Alan Dallas calling in about the Mets. Al, you there? Let's take Al's phone call here on the Rich Eisen Show. You there, Al? Listen, listen. Mets fans live by a mantra, you know. What is it? We didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. So that kid, I mean, listen, there's plenty of time left for him to succeed some of the success. Oh, wait a minute. We haven't won since 86. So that's like 40 years. I don't know. Yeah. You know, listen, go ahead. Go anywhere but the Yankees. Please. Anywhere. What do you mean? Thank you. But he lives in the New York metropolitan area, it seems.
7:30Rich Eisen:Who else is there to root for? This is 2026. Tickets are too expensive anyway. Go root for another team. Change sports. Who cares? Baseball's over. Terrible. You're chirping a lot, too, by the way, if you get swept by the Red Sox. But I guess you've been on me a lot. He's been chirping all year. Ow. We've got a shortstop in left field, okay? We've got the Martian in right. Come on now. Let's get Judge back. Let's get Stanton back. Let's get the team healthy. Get Grisham in center field again. Let's get this rotation in the mix. Freed's back. Let's get them all five of them getting going. Still going to be.
8:08Rich Eisen:Come on, Al. The team that the Red Sox just swept is not even close to the team, hopefully, that's going to be playing and healthy in October. That's very true. Come on. That's very true. We're marathoning, Al. We're not sprinting or we're not dancing behind a reporter going through the sober aspect of a team firing, oh, pardon me, departing their manager. Richard, have you ever seen an organization look so foolish? I mean, it's just they can't get out of their own way. They got to, you know, Stearns has got to go. You know, it's Cohen's just got to snap out of it. Al, we deserve better. It's unwatchable.
8:46Rich Eisen:We deserve better. You know what, TJ? We deserve better. And I should just sign the sheet and become a Dodger. Who's we? Mets fans. Oh, I see. You're going to join the Dodgers? It's the only thing TJ and I align on when it comes to sports. I was just making sure you weren't referring to New York sports fans because this is a Mets town. I don't live in New York. It's a Mets town. Neither do you. It's a Mets town, guys. The Knicks just showed up. They just crashed the party. They crashed the Mets party. It's a Knicks town, first and foremost. It's not even a Yankees town. Now, again, I guess you guys are all waiting for the big wedding that's coming up, right?
9:22Rich Eisen:Indeed. You're talking about Kelsey and Taylor Swift, right? Kelsey Swift this weekend. I thought you were talking about Brockman and Teyano. That's the only wedding we care about. I'm talking about my man, my boy. Who's performing at your wedding? Great question. Who's performing? Do you want to grab the mic and sing? Don't ask. Don't ask unless you intend, sir. After a couple of daddy juices. After a couple of daddy juices. Okay. Serenading. Don't ask unless you intend. Because Rich was on threads asking Michael Buble if he could grab the mic. I saw that, yeah. Is Buble going to... Buble invited me to perform with his orchestra.
10:01Rich Eisen:I've yet to follow up on that. I also have to get ready for the American Century Championship. That's true. You need to work on your short game. This is the town where Sinatra was at the Sands. I mean, come on now, dude. Careful. Well, we'll see where the night takes us. Short game is more important than your acapella skills. Thank you, sir. Okay? So let's – because, you know, you are under – it's not pressure. I wouldn't say pressure because pressure creates diamonds. but you really we're all looking forward to you stepping up during the American century you know you've had kids are getting older requirements are less you've got more time to work on your golf games it's your time Richard I got nothing going on in my life you're right Al I should just go hit it it's just true you got nothing going on Al in Dallas great performance and appearance overreaction Monday let's hit it hit it hit it hit it that was terrible that was crap that was garbage that's why it sucked Over Reaction Monday's Monday.
10:55Rich Eisen:On a Monday. On Monday. On the actual day. It's not like we're observing. It's on the actual day. It's great. Great to see everyone, man. Yeah. The band's back together. Yeah. There's four of us here. It's fantastic. Yes. Like the four. Guys, fresh off a four-game sweep of the Yankees, the Red Sox are going to make the playoffs. All right. That's absurd. You know it, too. You know it, too. hey listen like i said yanks gave yanks gave you six unearned runs with our best pitcher on the mound yeah could you explain what happened in extra in the ninth inning and extras that was terrible man like will you play it was a gold glover oh you're four dad you gotta you gotta leapfrog uh five teams four and a half out listen well the point is the american league is terrible so anything's possible you're right and the three teams with a winning record in the american league That's it.
11:44Rich Eisen:And the Yanks don't, you know, that's all I got to do is just stay in hopefully the top seed position while Judge and everybody gets better. But this is about the Red Sox. You know what? I'll say this is not an overreaction. Thank you. Just to give you hope because, again, I really appreciate you, Chris. Hope's a dangerous thing. Uh-huh. Do you even believe that? We're the worst. What you just said. We are the worst team in baseball. Okay. That can't be because we exist. Ah. You know what I mean? This is so delightful. We exist. season this has been what else all right all right after getting swept by the red sox oh god it's clear it'll be another ringless season for the yankees all right all right look at this that's a proper all the days i gotta come back that's a proper reaction i mean talk to your team that's embarrassing you can't lose to us we're terrible i know listen it the current state of the team right now not great but they're not this bad either um and i'll just say this Rodon pitched good yesterday.
12:44Rich Eisen:No, again, I will just say this, Chris. Like, if somebody went to, you know, back in January, February of this year, it's going to be another ringless year for the Knicks. You know, the Knicks have shown the way. You never know. The only way you say never is when it's the mess. That's departed. The fruit is so low-hanging. That's departed as well. I mean, that's totally the part. It tastes best. No, but again, it's just it's it's it doesn't look great. But again, Max Fried is hurt. Let's get him back. Garrett Cole, who didn't have a great performance this weekend either. Schlittler, Radone, Cole, Fried.
13:29Rich Eisen:Well, Cole in a four game in a four game series. Cole can't pitch against Boston in a four game series. With Judge Stanton and the rest of that, you know, roster back. and you have to figure there'll be some move that Cashman makes for the bullpen. And who knows? Maybe you can have another Canyon of Heroes parade that nobody saw coming. So this is an overreaction. How dare you? All right. All right. After I gave you hope as well. I know. And then he comes in over the top. Well, I had to do it. Off the top rope. Fine. Had to do it. Fine. All right. Not a lot of football news. Not a lot of football news going on.
14:05Rich Eisen:I understand that. But I did see this, and this guy just can't stop posting videos and weird stuff. Brandon Ayuk Brandon Ayuk the more I think about it he's not going to play it down for anybody this year this sounds like a sensible thing to say but talent over everything in this league still we don't even know Tom was here we don't know if he's healthy has he been doing his rehab or not I just will never say never when it's somebody who a couple years ago showed this sort of talent and I don't know. He's certainly not helping his case. The Niners hold the cards. It's just like, hey, just the, you know, the famed Jif.
14:50Rich Eisen:Yeah, the Jonah Hill. The Jonah Hill Jif. Hey, you know, no, don't do that. Stop. Very simple. Yeah. Very simple. But I'll just say it doesn't look good right now, but it's also not yet training camp, and it's not like rubber meet and road, and it's not like somebody needs a wide receiver. You know? Like, I'll just say doesn't look good right now, but overreaction. What else, Chris? Still June. All right, TJ, big wrestling over the weekend. That was great to see. I mean, our man, Seth Rollins, going to be here this week. Big win over Braun. Yeah, he's hosting Thursday. Yeah, can't wait to see that.
15:30Rich Eisen:But what's he going to lie about this time? Great question. Does he come in healthy at least? Because, again, I missed this weekend. Yeah, he's coming in healthy. As healthy as you can be after having a steel cage. He wasn't a steel cage. Isn't he on tonight? Something could happen the night at Raw. Man, I will be crossing my fingers. Just look out for a text from me like I did last time. As soon as I got that one. I say that, I bring up wrestling because, did you see this photo of Sean McVay from over the weekend on his vacation? Sean McVay would win an NFL head coach Royal Rumble. My man is shredded.
16:05it yeah good for him how many abs are in that picture one two three four those are eight there's
16:11Rich Eisen:eight listen good god it is great and you know his lovely wife as well um i i will just say this because again it's difficult to say this sort of stuff but that's a mother of two as well um the mcveys are eaten right um no in and out uh there's no cheat days although that's a french flag there. No Randy's Donuts? There's no baguettes on that boat, I imagine? Nope. Jeez. Yeah, they're in a Riviera there. Is that where they are? That's about the only football stories. I don't know. Is there a free agent there that they're just going to run into? Oh yeah, it just happened. Hey, look who's the new Los Angeles Ram.
16:52Rich Eisen:You never know. Interesting. Pepe Le Pew just joined the team. Jamar Chase. Good to see you. Is that it? No. Alright. Let's keep it moving World Cup, dialed into the World Cup It's so awesome, every game has been spectacular But Although I just gotta explain as well While we're in the middle of all of this It's still 1-0 But the way that Japan just kept Brazil Out of the net is insane Feels like Nuts There were feet, heads Unreal But it was all still for naught Superstars galore But guys, this tournament is about one guy and one guy only. It's Messi and Argentina's World Cup to lose. I can't imagine.
17:37Rich Eisen:I don't know, though. From my untrained eye, France looks pretty damn good, man. They do. But Dembele scored three goals in the span of 30 minutes. He averaged one goal every 10 minutes. And Mbappe didn't score. He's got four already. France looks pretty damn good. But that could be the final, right? France and Argentina. They are set up for that crash collision course in New York. By the way, fascinatingly enough, whether it's football or football, nobody likes the turf, whether it's grass or not. You know? Unbelievable. England said the turf's not that bad. That's the best thing anybody said about the MetLife.
18:21Rich Eisen:Pardon me. New York, New Jersey pitch. Oh, Brazil just tied it up. We are all square. All right. equalizer. All right, here we go. All right, a couple more. LeBron's going to be playing somewhere else. We've got to wait to see if the flag's up or not. Who the hell knows anymore? What else you got, Chris? LeBron will be playing somewhere other than Los Angeles next year. That's an overreaction right now. You just heard, again, in our number two, that yes, Draymond Green just opted out of a player option that gives the Warriors more optionality to get LeBron and Anthony Davis but this could be all just in a way with Anthony Davis and LeBron just to play for everybody gets more money where they want to stay I don't know, you never know this is an overreaction right now but as we are a day before free agency and Wemby says that LeBron has not made himself available to talk with the Lakers in their exclusive negotiating window.
19:27Rich Eisen:Very interesting personal words there. Yeah, that's an issue right now. How about this one? These two guys are being talked about a lot, and one guy's already been moved. Either Kawhi or Jalen Brown will win a title before Giannis. Well, since he said Giannis in Miami's a year away, oh he said that before we informed him of what his colleague shams is reporting that andrew wiggins had signed a three-year deal um sure i'll i'll give that one to you sure i'll give that one to you the goal does stand in uh in houston 1-1 brazil japan what else chris do you think we need one more oh my goodness all right one more before we go look at you MLB should adopt a new rule, guys.
20:18Rich Eisen:If a team gets swept in a four-game series, they should be ineligible for postseason play.
20:28Rich Eisen:One last troll job of the Red Sox sweep. Well, you brought it on yourself. You guys good with that? What do I bring on myself? You talking trash about my team. How does that bring up anything? Because you could have been quiet. You couldn't have said anything. You could not have said anything. It's great that the Yankees... It's the only thing I have to root for. It's all you got right now. It's great for you. It's like an orange wedge. We gave you an orange wedge. Oh, my God. A Capri Sun? Come on. This is your wake-up call, pal. Yeah, okay. You can't play anything. You are a total turncoat, man.
20:56Rich Eisen:You're an absolute total turncoat. I don't want to hear it. Go, John. All right. That's Overreaction Monday, everybody. Good job. Good job. Joe Latrulio is in our green room.

22:06Rich Eisen:A bandwagon fan. The biggest insult in sports. But this summer, during the FIFA World Cup, it's an invitation, America. Never watched soccer before? Perfect. Think a corner kick is a karate move? Sure, why not? Prefer sports where players can use their hands? Me too. Just here for the snacks? Now we're talking. So grab a bag of Lay's and jump on the bandwagon. We're undefeated. Lay's, the official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Rich Eisen here. You can always tell when something big is happening in a city. I know what it's like when I'm traveling for big games and events. I remember being in Pittsburgh earlier this year and experiencing the beautiful architecture and passion those fans have for their home teams.
22:51Rich Eisen:That was so infectious. Now, it was a great trip. But you know what it's like dealing with the travel. The airport is packed. Hotels are booked up. Restaurants all busy. And when you have that kind of influx of visitors in your city, a lot of them are searching for a place that feels a little bit more like home during their trip. That's why this can be a smart time to think about listing your own space on Airbnb. If you've got plans to be away this summer, consider listing your space on Airbnb while you're gone and earn some extra cash. It's simple. You're already traveling, so your place doesn't just sit empty while your city is busy.
23:26Rich Eisen:And from my experience on the road, having a comfortable home base can change the whole experience of a trip. So whether it's a big sports weekend, a concert series, or a major event coming to your area, this could be the right time to list your space on Airbnb. Your home might be worth more than you think.

And one of the stars of said film, Joe LaTrulio, is here on the program. And it's good to see you. fun movie right here where Zoe Deutsch plays a woman whose husband to be yeah take advantage of his celebrity hall pass and she's like I'm gonna take my hall pass which is Jon Hamm ladies and gentlemen she goes to Hollywood looking for Jon Hamm that's where you find him that's where he is all the stars are here it's interesting I looked so high and far for Jon Hamm last August when we were drafting in our best ball celebrity league.
25:06Rich Eisen:That's right. And he just, you know, because you give everybody as the commissioner, how many hours do you get? You have eight hours. Eight hours. You have eight hours. And somebody takes all eight, and his name Jon Hamm. Listen, I thought about this, and you know, he was suffering from Don Draperism, which is he's calculating and he's struggling to find an identity and he doesn't know which player is going to give him that on his team and then and you you then tell him that there's a cash prize involved and that's what the money is for that's what the money that's right still doesn't spur action no i'll send an email because i'm that guy you're that guy you are that guy by the way you came at you came you came at the commission hard what are we doing well i mean not you i just came at kind of everybody and then everybody came back at me very hard it's a little dicey it did get dicey look we're all trying to be the best and have our best ball and foot forward so trying to cut that time down a little bit this year can we make it like six hours we could you know the trouble is whether whether or not we want to risk someone sleeping through their pick right so that's that's why you have that because it just never stops yeah however ant man is doing his work in London.
26:21Rich Eisen:There's different times, Jones. You're right. Paul was out of the country. By the way, that's what he was doing. I believe the Endgame film that's coming out. Oh, that's what he was doing. And you know what? His best ball team suffered. It got minuscule. It got very tiny. It was not a player. So was I the Thanos? And he's a good fantasy player. You won? All right. You did. I can't believe it. You did. The king, the champion. Yeah, I overcame Jon Hamm's sleepiness. See, you should remember that next time. It's a fun movie concept. Ken Marino is as funny as it gets to. I love him. He's funny. David Wayne, who was at Big Slick as well.

27:02Rich Eisen:You know, we were all just hanging out. Really, really a great group of people. And the kids, Zoe and Miles Gutierrez-Riley and Ben Wang, you know, our younger rotation for these ensemble movies, do a great job. They really handle the tone of the movie well. And as always with these movies, just super fun to make. It's super silly. Please go in there knowing this is a ridiculous movie. Yes, sir. Lean into it and you'll have a good time. I'll say this movie touched upon a couple of big sporting events in my life. Color me interesting. So the first is the NFC Championship. This movie premieres at Sundance on January 25th when the Rams and Seahawks are playing.
27:45Now, literally, the game is starting when the movie is playing in the Eccles Theater, 1200 Seater. I'm going to sit in the I'm going to stand in the back. I'm no longer going to. I hadn't seen the movie yet, so I'm kind of double screen viewing. Woolen has the taunting penalty. I look down and next thing I know, Puka is bringing in that touchdown. And I almost scream and ruin the movie from the back of the house. they pull me up for the q a two minutes before the movie's over so the entire q a i don't know what's going on and of course i can't really it's not a sports crowd at sundance in park city they don't care about this and that's fine because we're honored to be in the largest theater at sundance and i want to support the movie but i had to kind of walk off and find out the um the depressing news now flash forward yes to this june a few weeks ago where the movie is premiering at the tribeca film festival mazel tov on game four of the knicks so we go it's the movie starts at eight o 'clock and it is not looking good where i'm sitting through the movie i'm checking the score there's a q a still not doing well i'm with ken who's an enormous nicks fan before the q a and he's like look i i don't run the nicks it's not my fault look hey it's i'm not on the team if they if this is how they want to go this is how they want to go i'm like i'm with you we go out q a uh q a ends we go to the party afterwards it's at halftime so at the party there is a tv screen and little by little i don't know how you guys can fill in the blanks the crowd starts to get around that that screen and the most momentous joyous new york experience i've had in a very long time yes is uh is at that tip in the og and and it just explodes now i didn't know that this day was gonna was gonna trip off a four-day incredible sports adventure for me so that happens on wednesday night the next day i go to the mets matinee against the car the matinee Day game against the Cards, which they win, which this season you have an under 500 chance of catching a win.
30:08I get that win. Yes. I fly back to L.A. the morning of the 12th to take my son and I to the U.S. pair wide game. Dude. It's an incredible, incredible game. I've got World Cup fever. I think Brazil knotted it up. They did. We call it an equalizer. An equalizer. An equalizer. They leveled. And so now I see that game. And then the next day, I'm with my son on Saturday to watch the Knicks after 53 years. I'm at my house jumping around with my son to bring that in. It was an incredible four days of sports for me.
30:46Rich Eisen:And you got a highly successful, fun movie. And this movie kind of kicked off back in January. Brought it here. Now, where did this level of excitement rank with the moment I shared with you in Big Slick? heading to Kauffman Stadium for the festivities that were being held that night are are you aware of what happened on the ride over did I tell you what happened on the you did not do you rich and I were in a Mad Max Fury Road moment oh on the way over in a how many people were in this vehicle yeah 20 20 yeah it's a sprinter it's a sprinter van there's there's a a ruckus that that we start to notice well I'm on the left side I'm on the left side of Rich has got a good And all of a sudden, I hear a thump on the left side of the vehicle.
31:33Rich Eisen:And that thump is the outstretched palm of an individual riding a, what was it? Was it a chopper? It's a chopper. Again, not to go full Pulp Fiction here. You know, is it a chopper? Is it a bike? Okay. It could have been Zed. Well, actually, it couldn't have been Zed. It couldn't have been Zed. Spoiler alert. Zed is dead. Okay. Zed is dead, baby. All right. But this guy was so angry with our driver, who was, by the way, going the speed limit straight down the freeway. And mind you, we're in a convoy of sprinters. We're not alone. There's five of us. It's the big slick heading to the home of the Royals.
32:11Rich Eisen:Yeah. I'd cough in Australia. Cough in the stadium. Right, right. We're not going to Queens. Right. We're going. But we're going. And all of a sudden, this guy then gets in front of the Sprinter van and starts screaming at the van, full on road race. He's doing this. The van is behind him. One of them pull over. One of them pull over. What's he going to do? And we're like, what? He's going to take on the Sprinter van? Exactly. By the way, Koechner was ready. Dave Koechner was ready to go. He would have fired him. Go ahead and pull over. Go ahead and pull over. He has no idea that Champ is in this van.
32:46Rich Eisen:Wait a minute. Okay. okay no and tapper jake tapper's in this he could have been behind us yeah yeah i'm like this man remembers everything you better be careful oh my cheeks so i mean we went for a little bit he he finally gave finally why did when did he relent how long did it take oh it that was up several miles yes yeah everyone lost us because he was slowing down the van yeah he wouldn't get out of the way screaming took his phone out and started like while he's driving down the way like turning around and taking pictures of us yeah or video for who i don't know like i don't know what he was going to do submit this to i have no yeah who harvey levin yeah some weird red 11 of kansas city like what are we doing right what are we doing here it was wild oh it was something very exciting way to go uh into the stadium we raised a poop ton of money for Children's Burnt Hospital.
33:40Rich Eisen:Another$4 million. That's amazing. And there were so many great moments of the final Saturday Night Affair in downtown Kansas City. Wonderful. So many great performances. Yeah. One that I will never forget, though, is one you were part of with Richard Kind. Can you walk us through the genesis of singing I Want It That Way, but including Richard Kind in this? this was the refrain yes we we were myself and um and taryn killiam and will forte and zach lee i went to uh we're we're volunteering to be a the the the big slick boys the backstreet boys a version of and we needed an elder statement the every every one of these groups has like an older brother figure and and uh andy richter was supposed to be ours but he bowed out at the last oh is that This was a joke.
34:36This was part of the joke. No, he we said he was going to to to promote his new album, his solo album, which I called, you know, 10 on the Richter scale, you know. And so anyway, so we needed an older brother statesman and we got Mr. Richard Kind to come in. so you had the four of us singing singing this uh song uh and rich coming in going i want it
35:04Rich Eisen:that way and just really kind of tell me why tell me why yeah he would just bark it bellow it into the mic tell me why yeah oh my god wow fantastic he's just but he knew he was because the way you played it off you made it look like you're roping him in the magic of improv ladies we did a magic of a lot of that in the funny people being funny go figure that a lot of a lot of a lot of magic improv magic yeah he was great that was a blast that um that whole bit yeah and then mahomes being there too mahomes being there the the stephen wilson jr the incredible incredible musician i've ever i had neither and he was dynamite um just a lot of your lovely uh wife um incredible what a set she what a set she had adam ray had a great set too yeah it was a great night yeah a really great night beautiful thing they do over there dude that was a lot of fun i'm glad that we were we were able to see it saturday night yeah after our escapade yeah after our escapade exactly we were alive to see it have you ever been involved in a road rage incident ever because that happened it was wild do you think oh oh mike mike i should have not i had a guy chase me around santa monica for probably 25 well you probably santa monica yes through his late for yoga yes He had to get to yoga.

There is a New York Times article with my and my friend's name. Mike Del Tufo. Because we got interviewed because we were friends with the guys that did it. The original guy.

39:07Rich Eisen:Absolutely. Right? Absolutely. I mean, you know, we all, what was great about that show was that everyone on it really knew how, had some modicum of success already and kind of knew how special this was. Right. So there were no egos, no attitude. We were like, this is really cool. And the crew is amazing. And our producers are great. And everyone's, and so we treasure it. It was one of the greatest shows we've ever done. What's your favorite thing you did? In that show? Yes, sir. I mean, there's a lot of them. There's an episode where Andy and I, Jake and Charles have a stakeout, and we're just kind of getting on each other's nerves.
39:46It's really sweet. It's in the earlier seasons, and it's one of the episodes that I'd known Andy before the show, but we had a lot of time in that episode to know each other better.
39:57Rich Eisen:What, in a car you're talking about? No, we were in an apartment across the street. So we're kind of just writing different stuff on the wall. And we have a little basketball that we're kind of doing, Nerf basketball that we're slamming. And we're just kind of, we're living together. We're basically a married couple. And it's a fun episode. Well, maybe Mike Schur can write something in October. He's got nothing to do, right? Yeah, I mean, he's not a busy guy. You know, the Red Sox will be out of it. Oh, right. That's right. I don't like that. You know, the Celtics season will just get started, and it's a Knicks world now.
40:34Rich Eisen:You guys were close. Orange and blue skies. Yesterday, no hitter, were you? Orange and blue skies. Ask him how many games in a row we just won. It's fine. It doesn't matter. It's June. It doesn't matter. I'm just talking about Schur was not riding this potential. TJ, what are we going to do about our Mets? Give up? What are we going to do? Well, I mean, were you in the Mr. Met uniform promoting your new movie behind? Did you see this, Joe? The video of Steve Gelbs who reports on the Mets? No. We can't show the video. Okay. But we've got a whole bunch of stills. He's going through Carlos Mendoza being fired and what's wrong with the Mets.
41:05Rich Eisen:And Mr. Met is dancing behind him the entire time. And he's full on, Joe. He's full on putting on a performance. And he's trying to give away some bad news. He's locked in. If only Bo Bichette was his locked in. Or Luis. Robert. Yeah. Either of them.

43:16Rich Eisen:FDIC. Terms and conditions apply. NMLS 696891. Okay. Joel LaTrulio here. We kept him after class. Yeah, I like it. I'm in the principal's office and I like it. No, you're not in the principal's office at all. Everybody else is. You were talking about your story about being at the Sundance Film Festival. Very, very, very famous film festival. where they're watching films and not having an NFC championship game watch party. Yeah, it's not a watch party. You just told a story about Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, which, by the way, is in theaters near you Friday, July 10th. You're watching it for the first time, but only as you're double screening.
44:01Rich Eisen:I'm double screening. I've got my phone in one hand at the back of the theater. Because you're watching the Rams and the Seahawks, and you talked about how the end result disappointed you greatly. It did. So you are a Jet fan who has now become a Rams fan. Correct. If not, the Rams being sort of your football methadone to get you off of the bad habit? Well, yes. Well, I mean, the analogy I use is I've divorced the Jets. The Jets are my ex. I can never quit because, you know, we've all seen that viral video of the kid saying, you know, I'll always be a Jet fan. And I'm always going to keep track of my ex.
44:43I'm always going to see how, you know, she's looking. And, you know, but I need to move on to a healthier relationship. Yes. You know, and the Rams provide that for me. It's a reciprocal relationship. I feel like my needs are met. Yes. My complaints are heard. Yes. And there is a there is a an attempt for both parties to enjoy the fruits of the relationship.
45:05Rich Eisen:And I echo those sentiments here, and I get so much grief from that guy over there, Patriot fan over there. I get it. My son, who's also a Patriot fan, Cooper, my youngest son, calls me derisively a passionate Rams fan. Not a compliment. That's why I said derisively. Not a compliment. You know, he calls me a passionate Rams fan. And I'm like, well, wait a minute. There's many reasons to root for the Rams and like them a lot. That's right. There is. You know? There is. But, you know, you know, when when you make yourself better, when you take care of a problem, when you are no longer an alcoholic, a lot of your friends that still drink, they give you crap for not going to the party.
45:47They're drinking around you. Yeah, yeah. They're drinking around you. But you know what? You just stay on course day by day. Yes. And, you know, one foot in front of the other. Yeah. We have an incredible team this year, the Rams.
45:57Rich Eisen:basically if the rams don't go 17 and oh pardon me wait a minute uh they've got to go 21 and oh or 20 you know because if they're 17 and oh they skip a they skip a playoff they skip a playoff but you know i just want to say it's also it was very difficult to lose jared verse of course uh uh the great trade but but that guy come on now no no no no i'm not saying it shouldn't have been done but i don't know i know i'm just saying like you know i'm with you jared verse is spectacular and young but you can get miles garrett at this age absolutely and that salary absolutely but i want to potentially bring donald out of retirement yeah but i can i give a hot take that you're gonna you're gonna yell you got about 30 seconds okay the uh verse and the new quarterback that the cleveland browns whoever they pick the cleveland browns will be in the afc title game in four years this guy over here mark it down mark four years time they're gonna to be in the title game.
46:52Rich Eisen:Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, available in theaters on Friday, July 10th. This man's pass is called the Los Angeles Rams.
