Good Morning Football.
What's happening everybody?
This is Good Morning Football.
We are presented by our favorite meet in a bag, Old Trappers, Jerky live here in Los Angeles. I'm Jamie hear at all? This is Akbar Baja Biamilla. There's Peter Schrieger wearing his Angry Run shirt. Is Kyle Brandt. Angry Runs happened last hour? You'll see it later on in overtime. Kyle little teaser to maybe something that would have happened.
During Angry Runs.
We had some history and angry runs today.
There is one organization in the NFL that has never won a scepter.
And let's say that run.
Could be over.
Do you know who it is? Do you want to find out who it is? Watch AnGR Runs coming up later?
All right, And this is Isaiah standback at the table as well. We also are going to have Ron Rivera in studio, one of the angriest coaches you've ever come across in the NFL.
Ever met him?
You know exactly what.
We're talking about. Sherry Burris covering the news as well. Isaiah Stanbeck he played for the Pats, the Giants, the Cowboys. You're on the Cowboys pregame show now, But frankly, if something I just on social media the postgame show, and by show I mean the parade that the Saints for fans were having in the streets of Dallas after the game.
Yeah, they turned up a little bit. They turned up a little bit.
I think it wasn't a super Dome, but it felt like the Super Dome seemingly because these guys were all the way turned to Dallas.
Had a rough week, They had a little bit of a rough week.
Well, perhaps it just lies bad luck in the division because of what happened last night. Kyle as the lead block Monday Night Football Highlight.
Let's go listen.
Saints fans do parades, That's what they do. They have weddings and they have a parade through the streets.
It's nuts.
Will there be a parade in Philadelphia.
The end of this season?
Will they grease the polls?
Well? Maybe for the wrong reasons.
This morning, it's almost like this was.
An effortless drive by Cousins, and everything prior to this looked so difficult.
This was casual touchdown.
Drake London.
I thought Matt Ryan was actually really good on the Manning cast. During this he says, sometimes the two minute drill is.
The easiest stuff you do.
It's the first stuff you install, it's the first stuff you learn. And he didn't look comfortable until they started running. It hurts, looks comfortable, but not here, Jesse Bates. Let's get on the plane and go back to Georgia.
See you later.
Eagles lose.
That guy loses.
Falcons win a wild Night's a real, real bad loss for Philadelphia objectively, that's not an opinion, but a really cool win for the Falcons to get to one in one. They played about a half a quarter of really good football offensively, and that's all they needed twenty two twenty one. But there was a huge drop on sa from Saquon on third and three, and here he is facing the music after that play and after that loss.
Dropped the ball.
Let my team now today shown heap with the defensive imposition, make that catch. Games over, relax, went back to my o habits and it's gotta go back and gud.
That's where pretty surprised enough to play calling your expector or running player.
No once I knew it. I thought it was a great play ball.
I just got many catches, so.
I thought it was just lost.
Obviously, quite had this thing wrapped up.
Yeah, it definitely sucks, and he loss sucks. But you know, the game come down to a few plays and hurts a little more when you're the one who's making mistake when that plays.
So sometimes one word simply defines how a game won. Saquon Barkley saying, well, that sucks. The fact that that happened to the Eagles. There had been a pattern for Kirk Cousins on Monday Night football. He had started his career zero to nine. Oh, Kirk can't play in prime time. He had In the last five Monday Night football games, Kirk Cousins has gone four and one as a quarterback of the team that he is on. It's great, Peter, he is turning the tide. The Eagles, unfortunately, are riding their boogie boards down the shore in Cape May. And it's not a good trend that they are riding right now.
No, this is you were hoping.
You bring in Vic Fangio, who's this mont dat off into genius and you say, Okay, it.
Wasn't the player's fault. It wasn't Sirianni's fault.
It wasn't Hurts his fault.
We just got our defense right.
We got got our defense right, and we're gonna bring in a whole new staff. And it was Patricia and it was those guys. They're gone, let's bring in Vic Fangio. And then the defense couldn't stop him at the end in a two minute drove. But I think this is a problem beyond the defense for the Eagles, and this is what's gonna haunt them this season.
All last year it felt like they had things going.
They were ten to one and then all of a sudden they started falling apart late in the games.
You go back to last season and we can.
Go through these this this was yesterday, all right, So this is Drake alumni. He scores, and you're like, oh, that's.
A freak loss. You very rarely lose when you're up six or the minute left.
How about last year they played Arizona in Week seventeen, they led thirty one to twenty eight. Hurtz throws an interception with thirty four seconds, and all of a sudden they come right down and the Cardinals win and steal won in Philly in week seventeen. All right, that's a one time deal, right, No, because two weeks earlier they led seventeen thirteen in Seattle and they with twenty eight seconds left, Seattle gets the interception, they come.
To and they score the Jets game. The same thing happened.
Like there's something to that, that situational football, and that becomes how many voices are in the ears of the coach who's calling the plays because this year now it's Kellen Moore, it's not last year.
Where is Brian Johnson and he's no longer there?
Like you can mix and match all this stuff, and you can do the tush push, and you can you know, flex on the sidelines, and you can mean mug on the side of all that stuff. Situational football is different. That's x's and o's that's up here. And that third and three I don't even I don't even mind the third and three, the decision to pass, but you're passing to a running back who historically is not the best pass catching running back in the league. Sekwon did drop many balls when he did the Giants the last few years, and this decision on third and three. There's no timeoutslept on the other side of the field, So even if you hand the ball off and come up short, the clock would bleed.
To at least thirty seconds.
Then you kick the field goal, and then you kick the field goal, and you're giving him twenty five seconds to come down the field. It's different than Cousins having all that minute and a half where he just marched right down.
So situational football, is it fixable?
Well?
Sure, but after a while, time and time again, you can look to Eagles fans say, I understand your frustration here our Why is our team the one that's always leading with a minute left and then somehow losing these games?
At some point it's like, hey, wait, we got to fix this.
And it's probably not in week two, it's probably in the offseason.
And it apparently didn't happen as it happened.
Again, just a tough loss considering all the fanfare and hooplaw around Nick Foles and Jason Kelsey being in the building yesterday.
Yeah, Pee, I don't have an issue with the play call on that particular call and on that third down situation you talk about Kella Moore. Keller Moore has been infamous for making good play calls. He's been infamous for having solid offenses going forward in this league.
And you give the ball.
To your best playmaker offensively on that day, you try to get the ball out to the flat, it's a perfect play call.
Things happen.
Seguon Barkley sat up there, and kudos to him for sitting up there and taking ownership and manning up in front of the cameras in a tough situation of saying, guess what, I went back to my old ways. I didn't focus the ball all the way in. I have to get better at that. But out side of that one play, he took care of business on the ground. I mean they were able to run the ball for over one hundred and fifty yards. I mean these dudes were solid on the ground and they rode on the back of Saquon Barkley. If you're going to have opportunity to get a ball in the hands of your best playmaker, you do so. It does a matter of if it's on the ground, it as a matter of this'st through the air. It was a perfect play call, perfect pass. He just didn't look the ball all the way in. And if these guys are going to be okay. The Philadelphia Eagles are going to be fine. But my concern if they do not win the next handful of.
Games is what does his locker room look like?
You talk about Sirianni, who already is has a lot of issues there. At the end of the year, they lost how many games towards the end of their season, like.
Six games or whatever. It was a landslide right at the end of the year.
Well, now, all of a sudden, you come into a season where you have a new opfensive coordinator. You have a new defensive coordinator, right, you have new superstars on offense, and you have to find a way to piece this thing together. My biggest concern for the Philadelphia's egles is if they do not have a winning streak coming up, what does that locker room look like? Can they keep this thing together? And it starts with their head coach?
Well, look, you played quarterback. I'm looking at this totally different. I actually disagree with the with the call, you know what I mean, Like, I'm looking at them like, all right, you have Sae Kwon Barkley, why not run Sakuon Barkley?
Thirty three on the ten yard line.
You get him pushing right, the clock is running, you're already up twenty one p.
Fifteen, Like, it only makes sense.
You guys have popularized the tush push, right, So even if you don't get the first down, let's say it's third and one, excuse me, it's fourth and one, you do the toush push. Get a first and ten. Why not do that and drain the clock out? Like, to me, that was careless. That was a careless No. That's a situational thing that we got to go back and look at, you know, look at the head coach, look at the offensive coordinator, and like, why did you guys do that? Because then you gave Obviously we saw Kirk Cousin gets a minute thirty nine and chucks it down, gets that two minute drill going, and they won the game. So to me, that was a bad call. I mean, we can give it to Saquan, but I don't know that that was the best call.
This is a team that snapped two and seven over its last nine. It's like the Prestiges and the logo is there. The Super Bowl appearance feels like twenty years ago.
Two and seven.
They usually don't win, and they had a really great opening game Week one against Brazil. This was a really, really bad loss against a Falcons team that was floundering openly in your stadium. Every advantage you just don't get wins much easier than that you're supposed to execute.
You're a really good team.
I personally don't like the call. I think you play the clock game. And if you say, of course, I agree with you. Isaiah, get the ball in Saquon's hands. Know that Saquon has led all running backs and drops over the last three years.
Saquon drops the ball like he doesn't receive well.
So if you want to put him out there twenty yards away from the quarterback, you can't be shocked when that happens.
Know your players know the situation. Also, like we've been.
So seduced by the allure of this incredible draft that they've lined up in their D line and their pass rush is just gauntlet in first round picks.
And Georgia, this Georgia that they had one sack last.
Night on a quarterback who's old and can't move. The one sack came from Milton Williams, a third round pick three years ago.
Nobody from Georgia and nobody in.
The first round.
They did nothing, get a sack, and that game's over. You sack Cousins on the last play and you strip sack them. He fumbles and everybody laughs at Kirk Cousins and fly he goes fly nothing nothing. It was flat. It was bad and can we stop being surprised?
Guys. I love Sirianni. He's a character. I love the director in the network booth.
Go go to Syrianni, go to Serania because the cutaways, as they're called, are great, and it's fun and it's energetic.
He's two and seven.
As a head coach.
You can't lose that game to really what equates to.
A neophyight coach in his first time and then second gig and players who are just coming together and the offense could do nothing.
This is bad. The player.
I'm not all about like kick Philly, kick Philly when they're downe It's not this is not a new thing.
This has gone on for eight months now.
And if they're calling the radio shows, then do it.
They should be you should be mad.
That was bad. I think.
On the flip side, it's interesting.
So it's very now well known that Rahie Morris was selected over Bill Belichick as the Falcons coach. You got Belichick on the Manning cast, openly question some of the front office decision, openly discussed, you know, and Atlanta's getting blown out by Philly early, and it's like, all right, let's beat on Atlanta. Liabit for Raheem Morris to get his guys to go into that building and win, while everyone in the media is, you know, talking about how Belichick is is this is this you know, amazing media presence and he's got this voice on the game. For Raheem to get that win on the road and for him to get with his guys in.
The locker room.
Do you see the locker room in Atlanta, the locker room for the Falcons.
It was awesome.
And now there's this chip on their shoulder a little bit. This is how the pendulum swings. It's like, oh, so, now we lost one game to the Steelers and there were terrible towels in Atlanta and everyone's bailing.
On us and saying it's the Saints and the Bots.
Well, don't forget you all picked us to win this offseason and it's only week two.
Now the Falcons are suddenly one in one and.
As Belichick sitting in the comfortable chair commenting on what Atlanta's doing wrong, Rahim Morris is like, all right, let's find a way to get this thing and let's win on the road and steal one. I thought that was a really good win for Atlanta considering all the theirartives around them as well.
Peter having come across a handful of coaches that are from New Jersey, which Raheem Morris is like. Raheem Morris would be like, yeah, I'm from Newark, like I'm from Jersey. This is how we hanged After the game, he said, this team doesn't blink.
We could not blink.
They stood tall. One of the messages that he told this team coming into this season is we have to pivot and we have to persist. And then that locker room scene after for the Falcons to go into their locker room Philadelphia, it was absolutely leuphoric to give their head coach a game ball. Raheem Morris said, I've got a lot of game balls. This one was really really special. To think of the clean slate now that Raheem Morris has in Atlanta, it must be really amazing to see his trajectory as a head coach and what he was.
Handed in Atlanta is huge.
And you think about the risk that this organization took and the decisions that he was a part of in terms of that front office, especially in this year's draft, going out there and grabbing Michael Pennas junior at number eight. Overall, you're going out there and not taking care of your defense, but somehow finding a way in the trade to go out there and get your guy right at the defense in position. So they took a lot of risk, and for them to go ahead and battle back and win this ball game, it is huge.
They could not afford to go.
Oh and to his team stood up not only for themselves, they sit up for him in this entire organization, and it's gonna pay dividends.
Will Ford.
It's almost as if, I mean, if we just punted it on first and ten every time, we might have won the game.
Let us swallow it up, gets rid of it up, all intercepted.
Oh, and we just handed him points. Sy Rick Stavid said, we'll give the Bears. Believe it's gotta be better than that. We can't have that, can not do that.
I mean, clearly that's it.
Just cannot do that.
She looks right, looks left, under pressure, tripped.
Up, broad it backwards, the flus down the ground.
Let's cramble for us yet have it.
He's dominant, the same exact thing you did last week, and he cost us points in the red zone.
We saw last week.
Levis trying to do too much that it just happened again.
The answered to that question, what the f woulds? It's a good kill. Hell, you have to ask him with the answer. He didn't have an answer in the moment, and think he was just mad. But bad football.
All right, We're back to back weeks. Titans head coach Brian Callahan has not minxed words about his quarterbacks decision making and subsequent errant plays after some reflection, though, he had this to say yesterday bit about his feelings in those moments.
I'm generally pretty composed. I think you guys have seen that for the most part. You know that one, just that one set me off. And I'm human like everybody else. I have blackout moments where I'll lose my mind. I try not to. I try my best to keep it together. But that one was that one was hard for me to watch. In the moment, and yeah, I got to have a little bit better awareness that there's cameras on me, and you know, I'm not I'm not up in the box yelling at anybody. I'm right there in the front of everything, and the cameras are pointed right at me. So probably a little bit of a lesson learned from me in that regard. Don't regret my feelings about it, but but yeah, I'm sure there's a there's some things I could probably do better when it comes to that.
I don't know, Ryan Gallahan, you're a coach, is I feel like, you know when the cameras should be on you? That brings us to like it never happened. Presented by serv pro. Ron Rivera is at the table, which is great. We had a head coaching conversation on deck, so we brought in our head coach, Ron Rivera, coach. All right, let's look at what we just heard from coach Callahan. Maybe your response to his immediate emotions, but also how he tried to walk him back a little bit.
You know, he's correct, his emotions got the best of him. First and foremost. The thing you have to understand is when you're in that spotlight. You're going to send a message to your team. Now, there's some positive things to take from it. First of all, he showed his team that he will criticize and be critical of any player on the team, even the quarterback.
Okay.
Secondly, he showed his passion of how badly he wants to win the game. That's another thing that's really important as players should most certainly get. And he tells him that I'm expecting smart, physical, great execution style of football is what he wants from his players. Now, what you have to be careful is is what are everybody seeing?
What are the players saying?
Okay, well, what is the player that you're talking to? How is he taking it? It's not what you're saying, but how is he taking it? And so then from there he's got to build it back up. So it was real interesting to listen to this because it does sounds like he does understand. He's probably had a great conversation. You know, his father's on staff, he's running the offensive line. He probably had a great conversation with Brian, and Brian's going to learn and grow from this. But again, you also have to remember you are going to get emotional. You got to be careful, especially with the cameras on you, because you.
Never know Mom might hear you.
I look at what Cally was saying though, that He's like, I don't regret my reaction to it.
I don't regret what my feelings were to it.
And I almost think of the situation with Bryce Young and Carolina where everyone you know Dave Canalis is all behind closed doors and there was no sort of dissatisfaction. Then callahaner just laid it out there hard on a sleeve, reacting that way he said it. He was up in the booth for many years in Cincinnati. I'm sure he's slammed his tablets. I'm sure he got angry Barrow, but he didn't see it because the cameras read Zach Taylor, not on him. He'll learn from this, but I also like, I kind of respect it, and I think he knows that Will Levis can take it.
And I think every quarterback is different.
Levis is a true alpha, and I feel like they've now invested their entire organization into Levis in both the coaching staff being offensive coaches and also the way they're building their roster that like this isn't like you're in danger for your job.
I'm just mad at you.
I'm disappointed at you. I'm gonna let it out and.
Do this way.
You know, in a world of participation trophies, I don't mind a coach being critical of his quarterback. And I think what Calla Han said is today that I actually appreciate.
It was like, I don't I don't regret my feelings. Like I was really annoyed that he did that.
Oh absolutely, I mean I agree, and I got a tremendous amount of respect for what he did. I really do, because getting up there and you know, having to take some of it back, you know, that takes it. That takes somebody that's understanding it's learning and growing and he's going to get better. He's going to be a he's going to be a better coach for this.
He really will.
Yeah, coach, it's this actually takes me back. I'm sure he's got a lot of lessons that he's learned from his father, Bill Callahan, who was my head coach when I was with the Raiders. And I remember Bill Callahan. We'll be playing against the Indianapolis Coats and he called us the dumbest team in America, and it was like, wait, what I mean that.
Turned the whole locker room up. That's a whole nother story.
But I mean the backlash he got from that locker room experience was like whoa Tim Brown, Jerry Rice. These guys stood up and called him out too for that. But I don't think in this situation, and I love the way he kind of came back around to it. I don't think in this situation he did anything wrong because I think he knows that a lateral leads to an increased risk of a turnover. I mean that you just got to know that. Coaches say this all the time. Don't be a repeat offender. You're a repeat offender. Don't be a repeat offender. I can hear that all the time in my head. But I love how honest he was in the moment because I think the one thing we know as former players is that if a coach ain't saying anything to you, typically mean means he doesn't care about you. And if he doesn't care about checked out me. Yeah he's checked out and you're probably gonna be on the out. And I will say this, the love that shows to me is it's above on another level, because there's nothing worse for the viewers at home. Just think about being in the workplace and you're just not hitting it and it's not working out right, and you're not doing it, and no one's telling you anything. They're all talking behind your back. You know how you've been in that situation where they're texting up to the general manager and what's going on with this guy? No, tell him to his face, coach him up, tell him, let him know, and that to me, I get respects to Brian Callahan.
I'm gonna say it like this.
No, no, no, he needs to know it is all right. He has to understand that you cannot put your team in these kind of situations. I have no issue with coach coming at it like that this time. The thing is you have to understand, and you know this, coach, you coach every player differently, every single player differently. Now your approach is predicated based upon what that player can handle. So honestly, he understands his quarterback can handle this type of coaching. Now, is that something that he's gonna want to always do?
Probably not right, but he has to To your point, coach, he has to set a standard for this team. He's coming in there coaching this team for the first time. These guys have to understand it takes too much work to get down the field for you to make silly decisions like that. If you push the wrong button on your controller playing.
Madden, you gonna get mad. Okay, everybody's done that pitch before. You can't afford to put your team in this situation. We do our job to get.
Down there all even guys are on the field executing it, and you go out there and decide to go street ball on it.
We can't do that.
We can't afford to do it. There's a standard. Understand that now his approach what changed going forward.
And the best thing Akbar said was he was a repeat offender, and as a coach, that's really frustrating just knowing that we just had that last week. Now this again, so again, what Brian did really was really the thing that needed to be said. And again he probably does understand that Will can handle he can handle being coached tough.
Isaiah.
We've all had that moment where we're breaking free for a touchdown and Madden and we pressed.
The dive button and just dive right on the ground.
It just absolutely killed coach. It's always great to see you. Listen the Titans playing the Packers this week. They've played pretty good football. They just blew both games. Glad to have Ron River on the show every time. Coach, stick around for a little bit.
Okay, this is one of our favorites.
An old friend, a guy who has done everything massive movies, TV, theater, business hosting. He's involved in a sketch once one of my favorites at a restaurant where he ordered a bowl of mosquitos. He can do anything, including now be the voice of a transformer.
Check this out, Cybertron Alita, right am I saying that? Right?
Wanted to formally introduce myself. I'm B one twenty seven. You need me in the face earlier back there. You can call me be or bad Ascetron to nickname some of the guys gave me.
I don't know.
I didn't give it to myself or anything. Actually it's pronounced.
Bad Acetron.
In case you were wondering, bird a citron.
You like that, right? Our kids can't wait to see it. And there he is bad An. We're going good morning, good morning.
I'm just glad. I am I am as happy as I could be. I'm so thrilled to be here. You know, you guys know I love you guys. I love the show. I love being part of it. Whenever I can.
We love you too, and all of our kids as well as all of us cannot wait to see Transformers one when you're a part of it.
We just saw the clip is.
Great, King and right into it.
First of all, tell us about the movie and what Transformer would Dan Campbell be.
Okay, So, so the movie. The movie is actually very excitingly uh. It is an origin story about how Optimist Prime and Megatron become the iconic characters that we know them as today. This is their beginnings, this is their their relationship. You will see in the movie that they had a very different relationship early on than they do now. And also introduces us to this world of Cybertron like we've never seen it before, because, you know, most of the Transformer movies that we've seen in the last the last couple decades have taken place on Earth and Cybertron is kind of like a shell of its former self. But now we get to see Cybertron as a thriving planet with everybody kind of living their everyday lives and it's really amazing. Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell would probably be either shock Wave who turns into a fighter jet. But there's also a dump truck and I can't think of the name of the Transformer that turns into a dump truck, but I like like and it's like rams into But I think of that as Dan, you know, like I remember that Transformer being extremely intense.
I love when we have people on the show like this because you might love them as a comedian or an actor, but then when you see their voice applied to something, yes, that fits too. And frankly, I think Dan Campbell could become a great voice actor. I think that could play maybe Transformers to right.
Yes, nailed it.
Michael, You're gonna have to answered two questions at a time because they're all so excited to see you. Who is the female voice that is not answering you in that clip? Who is the actress that we're going to hear from in the movie. Also, since you're from Michigan and you're a diehard Lions fan, I'm so sorry about this weekend. But what's it been like for you watching the struggle but also the resurgence.
Well, so number one is the one and only, the inimitable Scarlett Johansson.
Cool is the Wow.
Yes, she's a voicing a character named Alita, and she's amazing in the movie. She's fanta, absolutely fantastic and just just all around terrific performer. And you know this, it's funny. It is a resurgence because I you know, I'm old enough that I was there for the nineties and for the early nineties when we would you know, we'd go to the playoffs. You know, we seldom won, but we would go to the playoffs consistently. And now it's weird to be on the other side of this coin where a loss happens and you kind of have to breathe and take it easy. We're you know, we're not gonna win every single game. The NFL is a very, very, very competitive league. It feels like the stakes are hired now when we have a loss, because you go, oh, that's going to factor in later, and what if there's a tie, and then oh, my god, in week fourteen, this could happen, and then if we have to play in Tampa Bay, and all of those things start to occur to you because I'm now already at this place where I'm assuming we're going to the playoffs. So it's a very very different feel than you know, the last twenty five years.
So yeah, you've been such a fan of the league, fan of the show, and fan of the Lions, and of course we've been such fans of yours, and we get to see you at NFL Honors when you're hosting all those times and we're just.
Dying in the crowd.
I got to ask you your interactions with the NFL players at that event at Honors.
Do you fanboy out.
Or are you kind of respectful of me?
Like, I have a job I'm hosting, and yes that is Aiden Hutchinson, and yes that is Aaron Rodgers, but I am doing a job.
I don't need to geek out.
And tell them how much I love watching them play.
I'm absolutely shameless geek out fanboy one hundred and sixty three percent. I don't even try. I get why I try, why try to hold it in?
I can't.
I'm like, I'm not cool around athletes when I I mean, look at this right there, right there. You can see how excited I was to say, look when they showed Travis Kelce. I almost fainted, but that the camera wasn't on me, and then I recovered quickly to get Because I am a professional performer, but if I'm not performing, I am geeking out because I to me, athletes and football players in particular, they're like to me, they're like superhuman. They're they're just they're just built differently. And so for me, it's there's a mistique that they carry, there's an there's an excitement, there's there's something very special about them, and for me to be around them, really it just it gets my motor going.
Hey, Kegan Man, I think you'd be pretty proud of me. I actually have the uh, I have Jared Goff as my m VP for my early prediction, and I have the Detroit Lions going to the Super Bowl. So I got to ask you, what would Hingle me Kringleberry dance look like? Yeah, if the Lions won that Super Bowl, and how many pumps would it be?
Well, here's what it would be. It would probably be a quadruple. I'm just see if I can get up.
I don't want to.
Actually, I don't know I can. This is like public TV. I don't want to be obscene. So maybe it's like a part of me wants to do it profile so you can't do it. He won't go He would go quadruple pump. He would and flags be damned, he doesn't even care anymore. He would go quadruple pump, and then he would do some back pumps, which I don't even know what those are.
No, you have that a whole lot of flexibility in your in your to do that.
Requires a lot of lower lung bar integrities.
And all right, can you check this out?
Three part questions? Stick with me on this one. Okay.
First of all, what would you give for the Detroit Lions to win a Super Bowl to host that Lombardi Trophy?
And then part.
Two, would you get alliance tattoo if they won?
On g m FB?
Okay?
Okay, said it was a three parter. What's the third one was a year?
Would you get a tattoo? Would you get a tattoo? And then if they were to get a tattoo, would you do it on the show? Got It? Got It?
Got It?
Got It?
Okay?
So the first question is I would probably give I would probably give. Now I don't have any Thank god, I don't have any kids. You know what I mean. But I mean like to a responsible family to raise. This isn't ancient Greece or my I wouldn't you know? That's like a second sacrifice that wins for the boat. And then I would you know again to speak to to to Trade's question, I don't know if I can get a tattoo because I am a professional actor, and if at any point in time I needed that part of my body to be displayed on screen or stage, I don't want to put the makeup artists do all of that. No, I'm just scared.
I'm just I was following you.
I'm just hurt if I if I did get a tattoo, which I'm not going to do, but if I did get a tattoo, I would come there to do it.
Would else would I do it?
You know?
And it would be you know what I would get out if I did get a tattoo'd you get?
I would get the old the old like nineteen thirty, you know, the like the skinny Lion.
Yeah, the.
Wayne Faunt's jacket.
Lie, and yes, the Wayne Funds I know exactly, yes, with the.
Bars, that's the line I would get.
Yeah, yes, yes, uh gotta say, it's like, we love having you on, we love as he as an actor, but like my kids have these animated films on, Like you're great in Hotel Transylvania, you're great in the Super Mario Brother, You're great in the Lego Story four Toy Story four. Like there's an art to voiceover work also, And this might be a little bit inside the actor's studio, but how much do you enjoy doing these animated films and a whole generation knowing your voice maybe.
More so than your face and your acting skills.
You know, it's it's something I really cherish, Pete. I enjoy the process of putting together an animated film, especially now that the technology is such that they can change, They can change and move and be more fluid with the characters depending on the animation. So sometimes whereas back in the old days you had a harder to time improvising, now you can improvise and the animators can not in real time but very quickly work with what you've improvised and put it into the voice of the characters. And so that's made it really really fun. The other thing is you have to be very childlike and use your imagination in ways that you don't really have to in live action because you have the other person to react off of. Very often, here you're kind of building the world in your mind. And also you get the opportunity to be very broad with the work. I hesitate to say the word overact, but you get to be as broad. You get to really put the pedal to the metal because you want your voice and your vocal work to match the exaggerated existence of the characters. So it's really it's really so much fun. I really quite enjoy doing it. It's one of my favorite things to do.
Cool acting all one.
We can tell when we watch the movies, which we will Transformers one this weekend. Everybody goes see it as soon as possible. Thor's in it, Black Widows in it, and Keithan Michael Key is in it.

Coming up next, it's Victor Cruz, a tron cruise is coming on the show. The Giants Legend. Look at this guy.
Our next guest was recently voted one of the top one hundred New York Giants of all time. He is a close friend of mine and he is a friend of the show. He is also doing this interview from the most unique spots.
In the world.
Victor Cruz, welcome to go and tell us where you are doing this interview.
Where are you, friend, I'm in I'm in Milano, Italy.
As they said, I try to I feel like I need to be with.
The locals, sa Milano. So I'm in Milan. I'm walking the streets right now. I'm just happy I got good reception right now so I can talk to you.
Yeah, it looks great, dude, it looks fantastic.
You're doing so many cool stuff off the field.
You're also doing some with Captain Morgan's What do you got going on with them as you're doing this interview from one of the coolest cities in the entire planet.
Now?
Captain Morgan has been a phenomenal partner over the year. That's my fourth year working with them, and we've just been up in the any every year.
Last year we had a thank you for that for that engine real quick.
And then last year we did a house party which was sick of Mene came and performed and we had a lot of energy there, Like two.
Hundred three hundred people showed up. It was crazy.
So this year we're doing a sale gate, Straker, have you ever been on a sail gate on a boat, So listen.
Me, has I know you've been on a boat? I haven't.
Oh god, I leave that one then. So we're doing a salegate this year. It's going to be incredible and me Nate's also performing again. Very excited about this. Go to go to follow the Captain dot com to get all the information on that, tell a friend the telepriend and tell a friend that's twenty one of course, so we drink responsibily to come to join us, come have a good time right before the Dallas Cowboy game, and come have a have your first ever sellegate with us at Captain Morgan.
I see you with the smiles on the picture, Brother Victor. H been good to see you back in twenty eleven.
Twelve, Man, we want some jewelry together out there.
In New York. It was a good time.
I think we might even have a throwback, man, we have a throwback.
Yeah, right there, I see you with.
They like children.
But obviously following that, man, you became the captain of the team out there.
In New York.
But now you're working with the captain, right, So tell us about the at the Morgan campaign.
Yeah, the campaign has just been incredible, man.
I think just being partnered with them over the last few years has been so dope. I think they've The best part about it is they let me be myself, right, they let me do my thing. They let me do a lot of the things that I would like to do on a normal basis anyway, like a salegate, like a house party. These are things I probably would do on my own, but they're like, look, let us provide the alcohol, let us provide the invitations, let us do it for you the right way. So it's always exciting to give back. And then obviously to have my friends, my family, and then all the fans. I think that's the biggest thing that Captain Morgan has done is that they involved a fan experience, unlike any other partnership I've been a part of. So I think that's the best part of this exact partnership.
Victor Cruz thirty seconds on Malik Neighbors and what you've seen from the rookie wide receiver for the Giants.
I think he's an incredible player.
I think he understands the wide receiver position more than any rookie that we've had in a very long time. I think he's just like anyone else who gotta have There's the ebbs and flows of it, right, You're gonna have your good times, you're gonna have your bad times, You're gonna have the things you're gonna learn from. And I'm happy that he gets to do it and learn all of these things in New York that will harden him, that will have him become the best possible athlete.
That he can be.
And uh, and I only expect more greatness to come. I think I think this past Sunday was just scratching the surface of the things that he can accomplish in a Giant's uniform.
Victor Cruise, everybody from Italy, thank you.
I'm a two X man, I'm a two X. Give me a two X.
They don't have that size.
I'm to find it.
