You don't want to bug anyone because it's kind of winding down here. And then I come back from the bathroom and Brian's wearing a Colts jersey.

That's right. And then what happened? Tell me the story. I walked by Rodney Thomas, who is safety for the Colts. Incredible story. Went to Harvard. Went to Yale.

Yale. I'm sorry. I knew it was Ivy League. But there's not a lot of Yale people in the NFL. Is that right? No, we got Foye, Lewakin. Oh, okay. Yeah. Just you two?

Yeah. I mean, that's pretty crazy. I mean, who's Harvard? There's like nobody. I mean, why are you looking at me? Was Ryan Fitzpatrick? Did he go there? Yeah, I think he went there. I don't know how to say his name, his last name,

but fullback for the 49ers. Oh, Juszczyk? Yeah. Oh, heuszczyk? Yeah. Oh, he went to Harvard? I think so. Wow. Well, thank you for being our first guest on the episode here today, because whoever you're with kind of just made a joke of like,

oh, this is your favorite thing to do interviews. That's my agent. Your agent? Your agent. Oh, my God, this is like Jerry Maguire. You're so Jerry Maguire. You're making moves. You're getting your guy on.

He might as well come on, too. Yeah, he looks like he'd be amazing. Rodney Thomas is amazing. He came on people's radar. I feel like it was last year during the Chiefs game. You started slamming people. I mean, it was crazy. You weren't a starter at the time.

And then you started slamming people. These were really important tackles. They were about to score. And you just came in and wiped people out, and we wound up winning that game. I mean, that was crazy, and then you started starting shortly after that. It was undeniable. This guy can wipe out people, just fix everything. Why is it so incredible to slam people?

Are you supposed to slam people? Because he's the last guy. He's the last defender on the field. Okay. If they get past him, they score. Right. And this was against the Chiefs, your favorite team. Well, yeah.

Patrick Mahomes. I'm a Swifty. It has nothing to do with the players, okay? And Rodney Thompson came in and made Patrick Mahomes very sad that day because we shouldn't have beaten them. Oh, my God. We did. That was amazing.

I mean, you were great. I appreciate it. Yeah. This all paid off for you, wearing the jersey. Well, we're in Zyre Franklin jersey. That's. That was amazing. I mean, you were great. I appreciate it. Yeah. This all paid off for you, wearing the jersey. Well, I'm wearing Zyger Franklin jersey. That's definitely Big Z. Everyone's calling me Dallas Clark, and I'm like, no, it's Zyger Franklin.

That's Big Z. Okay. And what number are you? 25. That's a good number. Were you happy with that? Do you get that, or do you pick it? No, they gave it to me.

But it was close to what I had in college. I had 26 in college. What did you have in college? 26. 26? Okay, yeah. I wore 25 before that. I wore 25 when I was like 10 or 11, like around there. Oh, great.

So you're used to that. It's a great number. That's the age at which you can rent a car. Nah, definitely. That's fucking good. It's a good number. What did you major in college? Political science.

Oh, I was a political science major also. We had business there, so that was the closest thing you could do. Have that broad umbrella, do whatever you want with it. Did you give a shit about your academics? No, definitely. You have to at Yale. I don't think you could phone that shit in. I mean, what are they...

When you're at Yale and you're going to school there and you're on the football team, do the professors... It's like at a regular school, like that's not Ivy league. If you went to Alabama, they'd be like, don't worry about this class. What do they do at Yale for you? No, they definitely, they definitely, uh, they stay on you to make sure like you're on top of your work. Uh, you're on top of, uh, like testing, like anything like that. Like they got, they got people in there, like in place, like to help you out and make it

better. To make sure you don't mess up. No, definitely. But you're like a smart guy. I mean, how'd you you get into yale i mean what were you like in high school uh how did you pay attention to class in high school when you're that good at football you gotta do both i mean god that's amazing are you someone that needs a lot of sleep uh not really i can function off like like two hours of sleep sleep. This is a different type of person. This is a person that is elite in different fields like this.

It's crazy. If I get my chance, I'll sleep all day. Yeah, so you can catch up. What kind of mattress you got? I don't even know. The NFL is sponsored by Sleep Number, I think, or Tempur-Pedic. We can't say. So we can't say what kind of mattress you have.

But it says something like 70% of the people, players in the NFL. Is that true? Yeah, well, what they did is they went to the NFL and they said, who wants a Tempur-pedic? We'll give you one if you want one. I thought it was sleep number. That's sleep number. Okay, sleep number.

Whatever it is. Sleep number. Okay, so sleep number said that. They give you like a code or something. Yeah. Like every year I think you get a code. But they just have them in their guest houses. I mean, you know what I mean?

But everyone's like, that's, but let's not get into that. And I'm sure that you're not endorsing anything I'm saying. But do you get like, do you have any nicknames because you came from Yale? Do like your teammates call you, you know? I mean, I don't know. I've had like, it depends. I've had all types of like nicknames. Like just coming up since like baseball, since like I was like super young.

Okay. So you played baseball as well? I i played i played all types of stuff i was i was football basketball track flag football uh i think that's it were you very popular in high school of course you were like you were like number one you think i mean i don't know how tall are you like six two six two i wasn't that tall in high school smart high school i mean not you weren't that tall in high school no i didn't grow until like going into my senior season like i was like five three my freshman year okay and then sophomore year like five five like around there and then but like junior season like i came back i shot up like crazy i came back like okay and that's when but you were already popular before then no yeah not like yeah the hype then yeah

at hell were you like dating the best people and just like what's your dating life like right now But you were already popular before then? No, yeah. Not yet. Yeah. The hype and help. It does help. Were you like dating the best people and just like... What's your dating life like right now? Yeah, what's your dating life like? I'm single right now. Oh my God. Are you on Raya?

Huh? Are you on Raya? I'm on it, yeah. Yeah. So is it popping off right now in Vegas? I really don't know. Oh, okay. You haven't checked it yet?

Oh my God. That's so exciting. Some other people had told me about it, so I got it. How old are you now? 25. 25. Oh, like your number, man. This is your golden year.

That's so exciting. You live in Indy? Being single, famous. What's the scene that Raya's seen in Indianapolis? I really have no idea. I really don't be on it like that, for real, for real. I got it, though. Yeah, yeah.

How do you date people, then? Just meet. Just meet people. Oh, my. What is this, the 90s? Yeah. Okay, so you're just going out now in person? I I mean you can go out in person like you can see people like online like I mean there's a bunch of ways you can like. Yeah you just slide in and

you got that blue checkmark and you're you're good-looking and you're tall and you're successful and smart and all the things. Even if he didn't play football he'd still be a catch. Yes. I mean. Oh absolutely. Look at this kid. He's Ivy League tall. I mean, it's just like you got it all. Yeah. It's like, well, what gets you down? Can we talk about what's bad about your life? Yeah. Can you like tell us something that's, I mean, we don't need to get too personal. You know, like what, what's something that'll get you down on a day where you're like, this is a bad day. What was the last bad day? You sleep all day because not because you want to. Yeah. Listen, we know that successful great people can get depressed sometimes too. So let's not act like he has a perfect life because everyone struggles. Definitely a perfect life. But I try not to like let none like really get to me.

Really? Like really none like get me down. I try to always stay like smiling. Or even if it's like something like bad happening. Okay. Like just spin it and like get like a positive out of it and then just focus on that, I guess. Okay, when's the last time you spun something? Like, I'm trying to think of, like, you know.

I mean, you got to spend some really, like, every week, like, during the season, like, football's a bunch of ups and downs. Yeah. Different things like that, like, injuries, losing games. So, like, you always got to find, like, good, like, in everything. Like, nothing's always 100% good. And is that something that sports has taught you and you've had to find that mentality, just survive in it?

Definitely. Just because, very simple, sports, you lose a game, you can't just go in a hole and then lose the rest of the next 30 games. You got to bounce back, come back, see what you did wrong, different things like that. Just look at what you did, what you did good, what you did wrong, and just try to correct it. It's so mental.

I mean, obviously, everyone knows that sports is not just a physical thing but i think in the past few years i've kind of just from watching enough 30 for 30s i've learned of like what a mental uh sport it is and do you do um you know i've read a lot of books that are i'm a comedian and so uh i have you know a certain level I perform as well. And visualization. Yeah, I do stand up. Do you do visualization of you winning? And, like, do you practice meditation, things like that? No, definitely. You got to, like, see yourself, like, making the plays before you make them.

Yes. But that just all comes with, like, you repping and practice, like, a bunch of times. Like, the film work, just seeing, like, keys and, like, tendencies, different things like that. So it's all like Repetition repetition repetition like you see it like over and over again And then they want you to get on the field like you you've already run You've already been over you've already like went through like a bunch of times, so you know exactly what to do It's like yeah, so you're not fucking around you know how to work hard. You know how to study clearly

I mean that's got to be a huge advantage because watching tape back which is a part of doing stand-up as well You got to watch what went wrong. And it's horrible to watch for me to watch myself not do the way I want to do. When you watch tape back where you've done something wrong, is that hard to watch or are you able to separate from it? It's always hard to watch. It's horrible, right? It's always hard to watch.

Are there some guys that just won't do it? Won't do what? Won't watch tape. There's one guy famously. What's Manziel johnny manziel oh he never watched tape he never watched it that's what i learned from his 30 for 30 and that was his downfall was that he was naturally very talented but he didn't do the work yeah off the field because he was just skirting by on like no i'm just great out there when i am and that works to a certain extent but he would never he would never review what he had done yeah and that's

watching that helped me with stand-up where i was like i'm kind of doing the manziel thing where i'm like i got it you got to do the work off the field too because even because even like when you're out there and you're doing it like it might feel a certain way and then once you go back and look at it like it looked way different than what exactly you look in your mind you look so much cooler oh my god but now looking back at it like that definitely at least it helps me because like i said like i'd be like i'll get confused like i'll feel like i did something like a certain way and i'll look back on the film and i'll be like whoa like that wasn't i remember this okay but but like that but like i said like that helps me like yeah but it's just part of it can i ask

and this is maybe just does this is a dumb question when you've done really fucked up out there right and you just literally drop the ball, and you go back in the locker room, and your team is lost, is it just dead quiet? Can you hear a pin drop? Are people mad at you? What's the vibe?

Are you trying to keep your head low? I don't want to look at anyone. I know what I've done. I need to punish myself. What's the vibe? It ain't like you go in the locker room, you're looking around, people point fingers. It's never none of that. Everyone knows they've had that day. It's just a game. vibe no it ain't it ain't like are you going to locker room like you looking around like people

point fingers like it's never like none of that everybody knows everyone knows they've had that day yeah like it's just a game like bad things happen like good things happen like like like bad thing could happen to you in the game but you probably could have did like 30 other things like good in the game like it's all it just comes with the sport or whatever yeah but no it's definitely like by me like if you know like you messed up you know you messed up so like it ain't you're not smiling like about like you're not oh yeah no messed up, you know you messed up. So, like, you're not smiling, like, about it. Oh, yeah, no way. It's definitely not fun.

And it'll stay with you until the next game. Oh, yeah. I mean, you got to have it like that. You got to shake it off, but you got to, like, remember, like, what it felt like. Like, everybody says, like, remember, like, what it felt like. But, like, or I don't even know how. It's like some type of saying. Just, like, don't forget the feeling or something, but, like, remember how it feels.

I really don't know, but you something, but remember how it feels. I really don't know, but you just got to take it as motivation, and you got to use that as another reason to get better, come back and improve, different things like that. It makes it better. So you don't do the same thing again from last week to next week. Oh, my God. I'm so excited about your life. You have your whole life ahead of you.

I mean, he's got that mentality. And you're in it. You've just started. How long have you been? There's my next year. Next year is going to be my third year. Oh, so you're in it. You've just started. Like, how long you been? There's my... Next year. Next year is going to be my third year. Oh, so you're in it. You're not like...

You don't feel like it's new to you anymore. This is the most pivotal time of your career. Oh, this is the best. He's got two years. His agent's going to like this. He's got two years to get that second contract. This is it. No, definitely.

It's definitely crunch time. And it's a great time. Every year. Every year, crunch time. You got to bring it every year. I'm excited to watch you grow and to have have met you thank you so much for being on the podcast you're such a natural yeah you're the best all right we'll be right back after this all right we're back john stewart is back in the host chair at the daily show which means

fan? And I said, yeah. And then he was a great agent. He said, do you know who this is? And I couldn't... I saw the light in your eyes wake up when you realized who it was. Yes. Because it's hard to recognize football players' helmets. It's the most boring

sport for girls to watch because you can't see how hot the guys are. Mostly. Well, you can see the butts, I guess. Yeah. And's boring sport for girls to watch because you can't see how hot the guys are. Yeah. Mostly. Well, you can see the butts, I guess. Yeah. And you used to be able to see the, like their stomachs back when they used to have their

stomachs exposed. They outlawed that during the, why did they outlaw that? It was such a hot look. Um, but no, it was amazing. I mean, Rodney Thomas is one of the best new players on the Colts and, uh, it was great to meet him. He was a great guy. It all was because of your, your Jersey, dude. That Zyre Franklin Jersey. He's also a great defensive player on the Colts. It was great to meet him. He's a great guy. It all was because of your jersey,

dude. That Zaire Franklin jersey. He's also a great defensive player on the Colts. I stand by what I said. I clocked this guy last season. God, his life must be so fucking good. He is drowning in fuss. You think so? Seems like he's not really

looking for that. He's not drowning in it. He's comfortably floating in it. Yeah. That guy has no worries in life. He seems so zen. And I asked him if he was popular in high

school and he was like, yeah. Yeah, but it wasn't like, what, are you crazy? Yeah, it was just like, yeah, do I breathe air in high

school? It was almost like he had a flood of memories of him being popular pop into his brain. He smiled wistfully at how popular...

And then he'll turn 35 and I worry. I worry. No, he's Yale. He'll fall back on something. He's got a good career ahead of him. He's good. Yeah, he's good. He's not one of those guys that...

He's at his pivotal point in his career where if he does poorly the next two years, he might not get a second contract and then he's on a practice squad and then all of a sudden he's not his pivotal point in his career where if he does poorly the next two years, he might not get a second contract and then he's on a practice squad and then all of a sudden he's not on his team. He's got to keep doing that slamming stuff that you were talking about. Yeah, he's an equalizer out there.

Yeah, all right. Yeah. Anyway, that was exciting. I mean, it's hard to explain what it was like. It's not like meeting Taylor Swift or something, but it was like... No, but it's like meeting... Bill Burr. Yeah. It was like... No, but it's like, it's meeting... Bill Burr.

Yeah. It was like... Okay. Yeah, for me. Yeah, I saw your eyes light up when you realized who it was. It's so crazy to meet an athlete. Can I tell you what my biggest moment this week

or this today has been? Well, first of all, it's been, all of our guests have been really nice and a surprise. But Chris and I were walking around. We left you in alley at Pat McAfee's show. Pat McAfee. I think I said it the correct way. Pat McAfee?

We left you watching his show and then we kept walking. We saw Issa Rae. There's some celebrities here and they're really dressed up and nice looking. I was like, I think I dress poorly for this. It turns out I dressed fine. I didn't know what to wear. You're trying to be sporty and casual, but you're also one of...

You don't want to seem like a regular. You don't want to seem like you're one of the producers. You want to seem like you're supposed to be on camera. Yes, you want to feel like talent. I just didn't know what the dress code would be, so I wore a Taylor Swift Chiefs-inspired shirt, and then I wore a tennis skirt, this black tennis skirt.

It's a fine outfit, but I was feeling a little bit like why are you what did you kind of got the dress code wrong and I expressed that to Chris and then I went to the bathroom and I was in there like furiously touching up my makeup and trying to brush my hair and like with a clip like it was just like I was just feeling ragged in there and then I saw this girl and she was washing her hands and I was like her outfit's so cute she nailed it like she has just smart like like just a smart look and like really perfect hair and makeup but she doesn't look like she's trying too hard but she looks amazing and she on the way out was like I just want to say I'm obsessed with your outfit and I want to can I interview you later about your outfit wow she's like here for some kind of fashion oh my god and she was like you

nailed the look when's that gonna happen I don. And she was like, you nailed the look. When's that going to happen? I don't know. I was like, find me. And so other people, maybe she was a figment of my imagination, an angel that dropped down, but she truly validated everything I had worried about. It's so nice when something you're worried about gets confirmed right away. I even told her, I was like, thank you for saying that as I was, you know, touching up

my makeup and trying to look hot and using paper towels to blot away mascara and stuff. It's just like a mess in there. No, I think you struck the right balance. You've got a sporty look that is dressed up a little bit. Yes. Okay. Thank you.

And you don't want to walk in here wearing a gown. I love Vegas. I love Vegas because you can look like shit anytime because there, yeah. Because there's people walking around barefoot. There are people who have just lost tens of thousands of dollars over the course of the night. In their robe from the night before. There are some people in Hawaiian shirts. It's a land of extremes. Yes, it is.

And then there's people in ball gowns. Yes. It's really everything. There's people smoking indoors, which just makes you angry at first. And then you go, fuck it. You can do anything in the sound. You were even saying I want to do drugs. When I'm in Las Vegas, I have this

urge to do drugs. I want to cut loose. It really is a shining pinnacle of capitalism in Las Vegas. I'm so excited for this weekend because I'm done with being worried about work after this podcast. By the way, right now, I'm not nervous at all. This has been going smooth and swimmingly.

And everyone here has been so nice. And everyone we're working with has been so cool and grateful that we're here. And I'm like, I'm grateful to be here. I mean, I can't believe what's happening. It's so fun. Try to do what Rodney was saying and enjoy it right now. Well, that's what the Avila brothers were really... Oh, were they saying it too?

Yeah, they were the ones that were saying that Be present This is why these people are so successful Is because of that mindset they have And why they're not comedians also What do you mean? Rodney was like I take everything I turn into a positive

Even if it's a negative I spin it And I don't let things get me down Because if he let things get him down he'll spiral out of control and he won't be a great football player. It really will throw you off. And the Avila brothers are artists. You don't have time. They're musicians and they really seem to be appreciating the moment. And they kept saying that we're so excited to meet you guys.

And it's like, you don't know who we are. No, and they still don't. They were still excited. What move was that? That was just what they say. Yeah. Yeah, you have to say that I should say that

but I think that they I think they thought we were a bigger deal yeah than we are well look at this they don't know this is

we're at a big deal thing I mean we're at a we're at a sports desk I could have been in the Barbie movie to them like I could have played you know they don't we could have told them

we were anything but you are a big deal that's the thing in some certain context but in this context this is confusing no and that's what

this is the context I thrive in in which I don't walk around ever thinking i'm a big deal it's rare that i would ever find myself in a circumstance unless i'm like the star of the night or hosting an event then i'm like okay yeah everyone should know who i am but this is where this is it feels like i'm in st louis you know like no one gives a fuck who i am and that's the way it should be i mean i feel comfortable you're selling out theaters nationwide. Yeah, but it doesn't matter here. There's so many people in the world. You can be the biggest star to some people

and a total nobody to the person right next to them. And that's lovely. I like that. I was happy that when Rodney Thomas' agent was taking pictures, I'm sure he's going to put that on Instagram and tag you. He's going to have to do a Google image reverse search

to find out who the fuck I am. I was so happy and comforted by the fact that once he tags you on Instagram, he'll be like, oh, a million followers. She's legit. Even though I've been at a million for over a year and a half. You can't get to 1.1. How can I not get that 1.1?

When that 1.1 shows up, I'm going to be so excited. It'll disappear immediately because it's hinging on yeah like four people that are just because you get unfollowed someone holds the power i don't really care but it is of note to me that i've been at a million and stuck at that for you're supposed to have exponential growth what's going on with that why what do you mean how often are people unfollowing every? A lot. I look at, I mean, I'm at like 38,000 or something. And like every day, like I get like 18 followers and 16 unfollows. I don't know who's unfollowing. It could be bots being caught and being expunged from the system.

Like there's so many people unfollowing at such a rapid rate. I've unfollowed people before because they're triggering or because I'm just tired of their bullshit. Or because I don't even know why I followed them in the first place or it was like a mistake. But it's really rare that I do that. It's just mute. It's the nicer thing to do. Especially if you know them. I post so infrequently. But you do stories.

If you don't look at my stories regularly, they're not popping up for you a lot of times, I don't think. But you post pretty frequently. For stories. On your grid too. I don't do that much. Maybe once every two weeks or something. Here's a guy that looks like the coach for the Chiefs walking around. Because I don't know who the coach of the Chiefs is.

You're the Chiefs impersonator. But he's really convincing. He does look like him a lot. But if he was actually the coach of the Chiefs, he'd be surrounded by a lot more people. Instead of just three guys. He would not be here at all. Because he's got a Super Bowl to play for. What do you think he's doing right now, Andy Reid? Andy Reid? He's probably in a meeting. Okay. And also, he would not be here at all because he's got a Super Bowl to play for. Yeah. What do you think he's doing right now, Andy Reid? Andy Reid? He's probably in a meeting. Okay. He's probably sitting there going over tape

and talking about what to do. Oh, my God. Wow. I'm stressed out for them. We're going to the Super Bowl. We just got our tickets. I checked. Oh, you did? We're in section 411. I'm so excited because we're in the highest up, which I really like to be. I like to be high up in these arenas when I don't care about what's happening down there. Not a bad seat in the house. Really. And it's exciting to be high up because you're just like, it's kind of thrilling. I'm a little

scared of heights, so it gets my adrenaline going. Yeah. And we have a great... But what's the really exciting thing? But the really exciting thing is that I saw that the suites and all the booths are beneath where we're sitting. And so I was like, okay,

if Taylor Swift is going to be there, if we're on the side, she's on, we do not, we're not gonna be able to see her. This sucks. And then I checked, cause then I saw we're,

we're on the visitor side and I'm like, please God, are the chiefs, the home team, please. Cause who knows? Because we're in Vegas. Neither of the teams are at the Superbowl.

Yeah. So I just checked and I saw the Chiefs are the home team. So we are going to have a shot of her suite and I'm going to get binoculars later today. I mean, you're going to be watching the game within the game. Yes. I don't think there's going to be a big cheer and you're like, what happened?

I can't wait to have binoculars because Allie did look it up and said that you can bring in binoculars because it was like maybe they wouldn't allow that. You can bring them in for all the bird watchers there because there are a couple species of birds there. And I, but what I like to do and what I've always wanted to do at these arena,

you know, spectacles is I like to pick out someone in the crowd from so far away, I could never see them with my blind eye. And I like to zoom in on them with binoculars and just watch them for a really long time. And just knowing that they have no idea someone's watching them is so exciting. And because I feel like I secretly,

they won a little lottery they don't know they're a part of. Because I just pick them out of nothing. So it's just like, it's a cool little thing that I like to do. So I'll be doing a lot of that tomorrow. I'm just zooming in on just one person and waiting until they pick their nose. No better place to do. So I'll be doing a lot of that tomorrow. I'm just zooming in on just one person and waiting until they pick their nose. No better place to do that than at the Super Bowl because you're going to be zooming

in on people that at least they have $10,000 to spend on a football ticket. This is insane. So I just found out that there's not like football fans at the Super Bowl. It's just people who had hookups to tickets. Well, it's certainly not people that are fans of the two teams playing. Right. They're probably football fans.

But yeah, a lot of corporate just like, oh, Microsoft, 10 tickets, a lot of Vegas companies probably. Yes. And yeah, it's like a perk. Okay. Yeah, that's crazy to me. So it's actually going to be a lot like, I think,

I've been watching the Taylor Swift era's tour. She's back on tour she's doing the international tour and she is in tokyo this week and if you listen to she does these you know every show she does two secret songs where it's like acoustic and she's just playing guitar she's just playing piano and the the songs out of tokyo during these moments you it's you can just hear her voice so perfectly no one's making a single sound because in Japan, everyone's respectful of each other. If they're taking video during the show, they put the phone right in front of their face

so as not to block someone else's view. Americans are just like over in someone else's line of sight. So they put it right in front of their face. Watching the concert in the other person's phone in front of you because it's so distracting. Because you can't help it. You listen to these videos and

you can hear her so perfectly. It sounds like she's doing rehearsal in an empty stadium. I have to remember to go see my favorite artist in Tokyo from now on or in Japan because that is where the fans are most respectful. The Super Bowl is not going to be that buck wild. It's going to be people who are pretty well behaved

and they're all sitting next to their boss. People say that the best game of the year are the AFC and NFC championship games. That's the game before the Super Bowl. Okay, gotcha. That's in a home stadium. The fans could not be more excited, and everyone's going insane.

And then those games are usually a little bit better, too, because the teams know each other a little bit more, and they're playing week to week. With the Super Bowl, there's all this fanfare. There's two weeks between the next game. It's building up so much. At the beginning of every Super Bowl,

there's always some hiccups. Like when the Saints played the... One year, the first play of the Super Bowl, they hiked the ball and it went way over the quarterback's head and rolled into the end zone and it was a safety. First play of the game.

I don't know what that means. Yeah, and it's really crazy. But is it really crazy? Really colossal fuck up in the first play of the game. And that's just what happens. You got to shake off those... Wait, what about... I saw recently a guy, you know, when they throw it through their legs behind them. Of course you do.

Okay. What was that called? Hiking it. They hiked it and then... Snap. He hiked it too high and the guy missed it. I've never seen a hike not go through. That's very rare, right?

Not extremely. I wouldn't say very rare. It happens once in a while. Is it so embarrassing when it does? Is it like a comedian going on stage and then the mic cord falls out of the mic when they take it

out of the mic stand? It's just an instant thing that makes you look like you don't know what you're doing even if you do. He hiked it and went over

the quarterback's head. Yeah, yeah. It's worse than the wire coming out of the mic because at least with that you can put it back in and be like, it's cool, it's cool.

Yeah, yeah. You hike it over the quarterback's head, that play is ruined and then the quarterback's got to go run and get it. He looks like a, does everyone just go,

what the fuck just happened here? Three stooges. It looks like the three stooges when that happens. It feels to me like, remember, yeah, it feels like Rookie of the Year. Remember when he got a really good arm? Not really, I'm sorry. Rookie of the Year. Remember that movie? I didn't watch it. Okay, this kid breaks his arm, and then he's able to throw

120 miles per hour, and he becomes a pitcher for the Major Leagues. That's a great premise. And he's a kid. It's just so fun. Yeah you know 120 miles per hour and he becomes a pitcher for the major leagues that's a great kid it's so fun yeah but then something happens and he loses it and he has to play again and it's like so i always just have these fears of like what if my life was just like suddenly i woke up and i'm playing in the super bowl do you ever have that oh god you ever think that of like what if you wake up and you're a pilot and you're like i don't know what to do but everyone expects you you to know. Like you just switch bodies suddenly. That's the premise of Quantum Leap. It is?

Yeah. That's what happens to this guy. He just wakes up and he's a... Yeah, it's been done. All right. Well... I thought you were going to go the reverse with it and say, what if you woke up one day and you didn't have any of the skills that you had, which is one of my greatest fears.

Oh, really? Yeah. Well, that could happen. You hit your head in the wrong way. Yeah. I mean, it's so... God, there's no wood around. I'm not even going to talk anymore. Yeah. Forget it okay because i can't knock on any wood okay let's go

to break and come back and see if we can wrangle we might be back just with us but we might have a guest we're back oh my god we have a special guest we have chris long from the green light podcast which i was on and i forgot i was i've done so too many things well I've done as soon as I saw your face I was like of course I remember you on zoom yo it's so funny because I walked by and I was like there's somebody that looks like Nikki Glaser who does football stuff now like you walked by our set earlier I was like if I see I gotta stop you and then you were like doing something so it's cool it's so funny they went they go do you want Chris Long we're like yeah of course they run off to get you and then in the time that I'm just waiting, I just go to my Instagram.

Then I'm like, wait, he just DM'd me. And I'm like, they're coming to get you. I was like, yo, is it you? I didn't want to walk up to someone and be like, hey, Nikki. Totally. I'm so glad this worked out. How's this trip treating you? Not bad.

Are you done with the work part of it yet? Yeah, as of like right now, pretty much. Yeah, me too. This is our last thing. It's like the last day of school. Yeah. What are your plans for this week? Are you going to the game?

I'm out before the game. Okay. I think the key to this week is I've been doing it like as a player coming here to like hang out like three days max. If you're working, you can do more and it's best to get out before the game.

Why is that? Because like the best place to watch the game is on the couch, man. That's what I'm saying. My boyfriend doesn't even want to go. He was like, I could go to the game, but I'd rather watch it somewhere I can pay attention. That's exactly right. When you go to that game, you're just talking to people

and it's social and you got to pay an arm and a leg. You want to get out of here. It's the same thing if you're at a Super Bowl party at home. You have to talk to people. Some years, I'm like, I'd rather just be home alone watching the Super Bowl right now. I had a Super Bowl party. I. You have to talk to people. Some years I'm like, I'd rather just be home alone watching the Super Bowl right now. Right.

I had a Super Bowl party. I probably won't do it again because my dog bit the neighbor during the Super Bowl. There you go. In the... Oh, no. Did it draw blood?

Yes. Oh, my God. It came out of the bathroom. No shit. Is your dog still alive? I mean, that's when dogs get put down. It's been some time. That's your neighbor's fault.

You had to give the dog away. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's the right thing to do. It's been some time. That's your neighbor's fault. You had to give the dog away. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's the right thing to do. It was the Panthers-Broncos. It's the right thing to do. Panthers-Broncos. St. Louis dogs. They came from St. Louis. No way. Really? Yeah, they're hard. Panthers-Broncos. That was like 2016? Yeah, so Super Bowl parties, that's not it.

I don't want to host one. I just want to sit on the couch. What was your neighbor's dick doing by your dog? Yeah, what was... That's the weird thing. I mean, I don't want to victim blame here No. I just want to sit on the couch. What was your neighbor's dick doing by your dog? Yeah, what was... Yeah, his dick... That's the weird thing. That was the... I mean, I don't want to victim blame here, but... Yeah. No, he jumped up. Like, he stepped on the dog's foot, so the dog was kind of like...

Oh, defensively. And he jumped up and like... He did the right thing. He like air bud latched. It wasn't a tennis ball. It was a guy's dick. It was traumatizing. And that's the whole party, then.

Yeah, that's the party. That's ruined for you. No, it's all about those balls. And then the guy left. So are you going to a party this Sunday? Like, what will be your plans to watch the game? I'll just sit on whole party, though. Yeah, that's the party. That's ruined for you. No, it's all about those balls. And then the guy left. So are you going to a party this Sunday? Like, what will be your plans to watch the game? I'll just sit on the couch, honestly. Like, and tonight, last night, like, I got a friend who's trying to be different.

He's like, let's get off the strip and go to Old Town. Oh, yeah. Like, the bars? Yeah. Let's go to Terrible's. Is it bad? Oh, I mean, well, if you go to, like, the old strip. Yeah.

Where they have what's that called? Binions? Bunions? Rinyons? The original casino? Like all the old lit up. Did you go? It's fine. No, I'm going tonight. It's fine. It's okay. It doesn't have the fanfare. You can go gamble. Just bars.

You can gamble there at the old casinos there. So I'll just be playing slots. Aren't you getting invited to cool parties That are happening? I am dude And you just are not going? Yeah there's a playboy party tonight You gotta go to that

You're over it Are you married now? What did you do last night? I went to the playboy party My wife's not going to love hearing that That's a good point She imagines like You know a bunch of playboys

Yeah, it was cool. Damn. Yeah, good stories. I can't wait. I'm not like the biggest U2 fan, but I'd see anything on that screen. Well, we were just talking about your love for DMV. Yeah, I thought Dave Matthews would be incredible. Yeah.

Who's your biggest person you'd like to see? Well, I've seen him. I'm a huge Willie Nelson fan. Oh, yeah. Is that awesome? I don't know. No, that's that's very cool. I love Willie Nelson. Like, I love the guy. Yeah. So and I saw him perform for like an hour and a half. He's 85 years old or whatever. Yeah. I just went to his 90th birthday party that they had at the Hollywood Bowl. Oh, wow. Party, not like a party, but it's a big concert. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. All right. So when you're a player, and let's say you're an active player and you're not in the Super Bowl, what do the guys do if they come here? What's the hang like? There's a chance to make money. Yeah. Like, you know, there's always appearances and parties.

They'll pay you to go to a party. Like, when I got in the league my first year, they were like, we'll pay you 10 grand to come to a party i was like are you fucking kidding me yeah like yeah i'm going so we go like the whole week and kind of hang out and catch up with your friends like everything's so like online now and even the media like a bunch of guys i play with and played against i get to see them like it's yeah so it's like going to a comedy festival i would imagine i think this is exactly like that. Is that what you guys do when you don't see each other

and then it's like everybody gets together? Yes, and you get out before the Kevin Hart arena show. Who's your favorite right now? Comedian? Yeah. God, who's my answer to that right now? Favorite active right now? I just recently saw Sebastian Maniscalco a few months

ago and he was fucking insanely good. Top notch. One of the best ever. I'm always like Louis C.K., Bill Burr, Chappelle. Who has recently been like Shane Gillis? Gillis' special was insane. His style

is just like he's just talking. That's what I really like too where it doesn't seem forced and rehearsed even though it it's jokes he's done before but it's just so casual seems to be just like yeah i i have a special coming out i hope you watch it i know you already know this but you're like the roast goat oh thank you thank you so much yeah it's great i appreciate that i recently just you should just roast. You should walk around roasting. They're doing a Tom Brady roast. And I just had the person at Netflix. It'll be easy.

They were talking to me and I go, tell Tom Brady I need to do it because I'm the Tom Brady of roasting. And I need to do that. I was like, I wrote a pitch for him to say. And I was like, I'll lay off of the things he doesn't want me to talk about, but I'll fucking go after whoever he wants me to. And so. It'll be fine.

I'm really, fingers crossed on that. It'll be fine. Thank you. Okay, yeah. Don't kid glove him. Okay. I might hit you up if I'm really fingers crossed on that. He'll be fine. Thank you. Okay. Don't kid glove him. Okay. I might hit you up if I end up doing it for some ideas. All right.

So you're a comedian too? Yeah. Brian's a comedian as well. I'm a comedian also. He's hilarious. That's the Colts jersey. Is that part of the bit? No, I'm a huge Colts fan.

I'm fucking with you. Dallas Clark of all people. This is a, it's actually Zyra Franklin. Everyone's saying Dallas Clark. Obviously he's the more famous But for now He's also 44 They're both 44 Both the same team

Just different generations Everyone loves Dallas Clark too Zion's a great player too So you're not doing anything wrong By being associated with Clark No no Dallas Clark's a great legendary cult In the ring of honor I believe

And one day Zaire Franklin Will be in the Ring of Honor, too. What does that mean, the Ring of Honor? It's like in every stadium after players retire. It's not like the Hall of Fame, but for the particular team, they can put you in the team's kind of Hall of Fame, and then you get your name on the stadium side. And it's a ring, usually, because the stadium's a circle. Okay, cool.

Yeah, and usually it's not that many people. It's really no big deal. It sounded like one. But it's for the fans. You just have to be on a circle. Okay, cool. Yeah, and usually it's not that many people. It's really, it's no big deal. You know, like. It sounded like one of them. But it's for the fans. You just have to be on a team for like 20 years. Yeah, no, it is cool. Or you could own the team.

Yeah, you could own the team. Or you could be one of the relatives of someone who owns the team. Uh-huh. Or you could be an announcer. I liked watching you guys play this year. We had Pittman on the other day. Oh, yeah. The kid.

Oh, my God. He's got a fire. Shane, we had him on. Oh, who'd you say? That guy's sharp. Shane Steichen, the coach. Oh, the coach. Yes, of course. Oh, my God. He's got a fire. Shane, we had him on. That guy's sharp. Shane Steichen, the coach. Oh, the coach. Yes, of course.

Yes, of course. I'm excited about Shane Steichen. I feel like he might be the next Bill Belichick. I think he's a coaching genius. He's a beast. We miss him in Philly. Yeah. I mean, Philly, man, what happened?

It's so hard to get back. Yeah. It's like you're so tired so tired yeah it's like an extra month of football yeah and you know there's young guys that gets in their head and that's the thing but more than anything they had to replace two coordinators you know yeah so that's impossible really normally they have to replace coordinators because like when you when you do great like i'm not trying to mansplain football no i'm literally asking you to okay okay so when you do great, I'm not trying to mansplain football. No, I'm literally asking you to. Okay.

So when you ball out and you got a great year, people poach your play callers. They go become head coaches. So they lost John Gannon, who coached the Cardinals this year, and Shane, who coaches Colts. So back to the drawing board for everything. Plan was. Oh my God. You know what I mean?

So. That's brutal. Less time. There's a thing called the Super Bowl slump too. Historically, if you go to the Super Bowl and you lose, then the next year your team's terrible for some reason. Because you're just kind of depressed. I don't know why.

We started four and six after we won. We went four and six. We were terrible. Yeah. It was like, it's like a hangover. Yeah. Right. Okay.

That makes sense. Yeah. Cause you're like partying all all season that's right yeah what was that like uh which part like the partying after that's the part well i mean the parade is there anything that you can describe that it's just like yeah like everybody loves day drinking especially when you get older and you don't want to stay up late. That's my zone. It's even better when they put you in a bus full of your best friends and there's a million people. You don't have a game to play anytime soon. You have nothing to worry about. That's such a great feeling.

Were you married then? That wasn't part of it. There was no, oh, I'm going to get so many chicks now. Some of my teammates were stars. They cleaned up? I don't ask questions i'm not out that late i actually am over two on making it to the bar after the parade so i'm like i'm a shooting star what yeah and then they pull you up to the rocky steps in philly oh yeah all right now y'all gotta

talk and we're like oh yeah yeah but you're a good talker are you the one that's usually volunteers to do that yeah the clune in me you know the casamigos um but it was fun man yeah it was awesome you know jason kelsey yeah well yeah i guess yeah now i do i did it before september yeah well that's why I asked. But he delivered the most raucous, like, perfect speech. You know, you've seen him up there in the mummer's outfit. But he was shit-faced. I mean, it was like a moment where he walked out there, and we were all like, is he going to royally fuck this up?

And he didn't. That's what he should. He didn't know the part. He's a gamer. Thank you so much for being here, Chris. Yeah, dude. You saved us for the end of the show. Well, it was so good to see you.

I was like, yo, I never thank you for coming on the show and putting up with our no game plan podcast. No, that's the way we do it, if you haven't noticed. So that was really cool. Check me out on Chris Long's podcast. It was probably from 2020 or 2021. Or don't. Or don't.

Is that true? Yeah, I used to have a podcast. Oh, it's over now. Yeah, it's over. And he does camps. Do you want to talk about that real quick? Yes, ma'am, I do. Thank you.

Don't call me ma'am. It's a Southern hospitality thing. Oh, okay, okay. I didn't know you were from the South. I'll take it then. Yeah, so I do football camps all over the world. We are starting in London first, actually. And if you guys want to sign your kids up, ages are from 6 to 17, you can sign them up.

You can go to all socials. It's my socials, which is at Cheetah. Yes, I'm not a real cheetah, but it's at Cheetah. You guys can go check out all the camps. You got at Cheetah? Yeah. How'd you get that? How did you get that? How did I get that? You know what?

Money Money will buy a lot of things Yeah I was going to say There was probably an actual Cheetah At like a zoo that had it at first And you paid off San Diego Zoo And they gave it to you You got Cheetah?

I got Cheetah What year did you get Cheetah? I got Cheetah in the year like 2017 or 18 That's even late That's late I mean if it was 2010 or something Yeah that is pretty good did you get cheetah? I got cheetah in the year like 2017 or 18. That's even late. The year of the cheetah. That's late. I mean,

if it was 2010 or something, I'd maybe be like, okay, that was early on. That was not a cheap handle to get, but he can get it.

Yeah, I'm not going to tell you how much I spent. I was going to say, that's something. It's pretty up there. How fast can you run? What are we,

what's your, do you, like, have you, are you, like, do you know? I mean, they track us during the NFL season. They do like have you are you like have do you know uh i mean uh they track

us during the nfl season they do like a miles per hour yeah and i got the fastest mile per hour hell yes like ever since they've been doing next gen stat now when you were in grade school were you crushing the mile run like was that always your thing in grade school nah so i'm a sprinter so i really can't run that long. I only can run like 100, 200 meters, and it's like I'm done. And are you just a natural? I mean, obviously, this is something that you have to work extremely hard at, but were you always just good at sprinting?

Was it something you always had speed? Yes, ma'am. Yeah. I mean, yes. Yes, girl. Yes, girl. Yes, young woman. Young lady.

Yes, young lady. That's wearing a Taylor Swift shirt. Yeah, yep. Are you still targeting 2,000 lady. Yes, young lady. That's wearing a Taylor Swift shirt. Yeah, yep. Are you still targeting 2,000 yards? Yes. Is that going to be next year's goal? Yes, that is going to be next year's goal. You would have hit it this year.

You would have. So next year, 2,000. Has that ever been done before? It's never been done before. What are you at right now? I got 1799. Wow. 1799. Wow. $1,799.

That's your top one? That's your, yeah. It's never been done for 2,000 receiving yards in a season. Whoa. He would have got it this year. That was, you called it. You said you were going to do it. Why do you like doing these camps so much?

This is something that you've taken upon yourself to do. You just like giving back in that way working with youth yeah man fun i think for me the biggest thing that helps me is being able to inspire you know the younger generation yeah you feel me like the reason flag football is becoming like this next big thing is everyone can literally become a star whether it's male whether it's female and i think that's like the most awesome thing ever because I have a daughter and I know my daughter's gonna grow up and she's gonna play football like her dad you know so yeah me being able to travel the world teach kids about you know football flag football how to become fast

how to use different running techniques to become faster is something that I've always dreamed of doing, man. Because I want to be a head coach of a high school football team. Yeah. So I'm using this, you know, to put me in different situations with different kind of personalities. So that way, when it comes time for me to step into that role of a coach, I'm already comfortable and speaking with different personalities. Oh, so you're… You feel me? You're thinking about your long-term goals.

Like, you have the most amazing career right now, but at some point, you're going to stop playing. What are you going to do? Oh, you want to be a coach, and now you're training to become a coach. Exactly. You're so smart. That's so cool.

So that way, I knock out two birds with one stone. I'm inspiring, but I'm also getting the proper practice that I need to, you know, use it later in my coaching career. Okay, we'll find out about Tyreek's coaching or football camps for your kids all over the world

and you can find them on Instagram at Cheetah. Couldn't be easier to remember. Oh my God, Tyreek, thanks for being our the guest to get and you walked out, you just sauntered over here, no problems, just said, hell yeah, I'll do this podcast.

Do you want to sing a theme song with him? Yes. What's the theme song? Isn't there some kind of NFL theme song? Like da-da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, do it. That's just a beat. That's NFL film.

That's just a beat. There's no NFL song. Is there an NFL song? There's not an NFL song where this isn't college. Okay. Yeah. Well, we tried. We tried.

Well, thank you so much for being here, Tyreek. Thank you. We really appreciate it. Thank you. All right, final thought. Overall, we did it, Brian. We tried. Well, thank you so much for being here, Tyreek. Thank you. We really appreciate it. Thank you. All right, final thought. Overall, we did it, Brian. We're done. I mean, this has been so incredible.

I mean, it's been so exciting just talking to all these players. I never get to talk to athletes. I never even, there's no scenario. They're so chill. I mean, yeah. They're just such, like, there's no, like, nervousness, nervous energy from any of them. No.

Like we were just talking about. I mean, they've achieved their dreams. Yeah. I mean, what's it like when you achieve your dreams? I don't know.

I mean, I've achieved mine, but I'm still not sure. Sometimes I am, but they really do have an air about them. Yeah. No,

I mean, it's, I mean, their whole lives. Like, you at least had to go through high school where,

like, things were hard. Yes. And you had to do open mics. They've definitely been succeeding since high school. They were the best athlete at their school probably growing up.

What they have to get good at is practicing and being regimented and being better than the other athletes. And not getting swept up in the fame and the parties and all the girls. But you don't have to be good at being popular and everyone liking you. Yeah. And that is a lot of work for people like me and you.

Yes. And it's what drives us too. That's why we're comedians and not football players. That's the only reason. That is truly the only reason that I'm not an athlete is because, yeah, I'm insecure. But this has been amazing. I mean, I was getting more nervous uh as time went on talking to the athletes because i felt like i i was like i don't want this to be awkward

at any point i know i i just want to when that's why i don't like to have guests on the show because people are always like why don't you have more guests and it's because i don't ever want them to be like what am i doing here yeah or like it's the same as hugs you're talking about before i don't like to get hugs because I think that oftentimes when I'm giving hugs, I'm kind of like, how long do I have to do this? Does this person need this forever? That's why every guest that came in, I was

like, they could just do five minutes. I just don't want to inconvenience anyone because I don't value myself. Everyone seemed very relaxed and fine about being here. There was no dead air. There was no awkward moments. These people are used to doing this kind of stuff. Yes.

We did great. What was your highlight guest out of the ones we had? Roman. Oh, yeah. I just liked him. Yeah. He was cool. He introduced himself to me right away, like before we began. And I was like, who is this?

He's right there. We still see him. Oh, yeah. He's right there. His back's to us. Yeah. He was great. He's a beautiful man. and it was really nice.

But I really liked Chris just now, and I forgot that I had that rapport with Chris. Chris was awesome. So, so nice. He's funny. Funny, nice, cool. So was Roman. So was Roman. So was Chris Tillman.

Yeah, Peanut Tillman was also funny. I mean, Chris had a comedian vibe. I was like, are you a comedian or a football player? Yes, yes, he does have that. Yeah. It's so nice. But highlight for me. What was like, are you a comedian or a football player? Yes, he does have that. It's so nice. Highlight for me, Rodney Thomas. That was pretty cool. I liked that because he was a kid.

I had an emotional reaction. I was interviewing him for Kids Say the Darnest Things. He's so young. Not because he acted like a kid, but I wasn't intimidated because he's so young. Out of all the guests we had, he was the only one that I was like feeling like emotionally like anxiety

talking to him. That's so cool. Oh, I'm so glad you got that moment. And you got us that moment, dude. They recognized you. That's right. Zaire. Thank you, Zaire, frankly. He was so Jerry Maguire, his agent. I love that guy, too. Have you ever seen the opening scene on Jerry Maguire where he's walking around with Cuba Gooding Jr.?

Of course. But he's got a ghost sign. What's his name? Yes. And he Jerry Maguire where he's walking around with Cuba Gooding Jr.? Of course. He's got to go sign what's-his-name. Yes. He's just like, it was exactly like that. Yeah, agents. That was a good agent. It was a really good agent. I mean, he's like, this is, you know, right? What do we do now?

Like, we just go back to our hotel room. I'm just going back to my hotel room. There's a cardio room here that I might go do on a treadmill, but I don't really feel like doing any. I'm going to eat. Oh, yeah, you haven't eaten yet today. I'm going to go grab another Starbucks. I'm going to gamble.

What time is the sphere? The U2 show is at 8, and it's now 3.30. So, yeah, I think I'm just going to hang out until then. Are we doing any dinner or anything? Yeah, maybe, but you're eating now, so maybe you won't be ready for dinner. I don't know. Well, I can eat something small, I guess, but it's whatever. I'll probably gamble.

Well, I'm putting it around your schedule, yeah. My wife's gone. I haven't seen her in like 45 minutes. I don't know where she went. She is... Hopefully, she's not dating a football player now. She probably divorced you and gotten married at one of those places to any kind of NFL player. Yeah, she is in heaven.

I said that she reminded me of a little girl that was being told she gets to go to Disney World and is crying in the backseat of her parents' car. Well, it's going to be so... She has struck gold with the signatures she got on the fantasy show. There's nothing that makes Allie happier than making her family happy. And so this is, I know,

sick. Disgusting. But so she... There could be nothing to bring her more joy than to come home with more signatures on this trophy. It's been great. My mom is in my apartment right now texting me because I forgot a bunch of stuff. I'm going to Australia after this

and I forgot to pack some things, including a Guitar Hero controller, which is a guitar. And I was like, Mom, can you please find the Guitar Hero controller? She's just like, I don't know what that is. And I'm like, it is a guitar. Yes. And I was like, mom, can you please find the guitar to your controller? She's just like, I don't know what that is. And I'm like, it is a guitar that is deconstructed. It looks like a play guitar.

And she just wrote me that she found everything. So that's, my mom's really proud of me right now too. I'm so glad we did this. I found your toy guitar. Thank you iHeart for letting us come out here. Thank you iHeart. Oh my God.

I'm so happy. Once in a lifetime. I've always been happy. We've had no issues. They give no notes. They let us be ourselves and they invited us here to the Super Bowl

and I feel deserving of it. iHeart Radio is amazing. They're amazing and we're going to the Super Bowl. We're in section 411. I'm going to have binoculars. I mean, God. And we'll talk about that

on next week's episode. Yes. Or no, no, about that on next week's episode. Not next week, in two weeks. We had to pre-record a bunch because I'm going to Australia. Yes, of course. This is the show. We did good. Now we're done. Now I have a whole weekend with nothing to do except the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl will be great.

I feel so free. You know that feeling when you're done with work? It's like Chris after winning the Super Bowl. That's right. He just went off and did the parade. Yeah, but my happiness will ebb and flow based on how much money I went on the blackjack tables. I would guarantee victory sports gambling, but that blackjack table, it is a wild ride. I think I'm going to go over there because I do know the rules now. You want to do a little bit before you go up to the hotel? Yeah.

I'll say it right now on air so it sounds like I'm fun, but then as soon as we go off air, I'll be like, I'm not doing it. Just for a few minutes. No, it actually sounds fun. I will do it. Alright. Thank you guys for listening. We will see you next week on the show. This is Brian and Nikki
