"Peyton Manning"

Speaker 1 Some like it hot, but for most, a little spice goes a long way.

Speaker 1 Doritos Golden Sriracha flavored tortilla chips are the perfectly balanced blend of yellow and green srirachas for a chip that's tangy and sweet with just the right amount of heat.

Speaker 1 Doritos Golden Sriracha are spicy, but not too spicy because Doritos knows bold flavor doesn't have to mean just heat. Try Dorito's Golden Sriracha for yourself.

Speaker 1 Look for them wherever Doritos are sold or find a store near you at Doritos.com. Doritos for the bold.

Speaker 1 Nobody wants to spend the holiday season clicking from one site to the next to get their hands on the best brands.

Speaker 1 But who knew Walmart has the top brands we all love, like the big names that your friends and family actually want and all in one place? Nespresso, Nintendo, Apple, you name it.

Speaker 1 Get the brands everyone loves at prices you'll love at Walmart.

Speaker 2 Who knew?

Speaker 1 Go to Walmart.com or download the app to get all your gifts this season.

Speaker 2 You know, I'm here because we're doing a, well, we're recording a new Smartless. And what you can't see is that every time I say Smartless, I'm just going off mic on the L into the ESS.

Speaker 2 So I go smartless. Because it can make you, and you can try it at home.
Sometimes that L into the S, you can get a little click into it, right?

Speaker 2 Like if you say the word models, you want to just, I just go off, or you don't want to, you don't want to explode on your P. You don't want to have the plosions.

Speaker 2 So if you're going to say, that's perfect. What you can't do, I just go perfect, just off to the side of the mic so I don't go

Speaker 2 perfect. Anyway, we're a little into the weeds.
We're a little inside baseball on the VO world, but I tell you what, we are not. We are not afraid to give you an all-new Smartless.
Smart.

Speaker 2 Smart.

Speaker 2 Smart.

Speaker 3 So, listener, you're a part of a double reboot episode.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we had two reboots.

Speaker 3 Both Will and I had to reboot this morning.

Speaker 2 Which, you are the reboot champ of

Speaker 2 our trio.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 For some reason, my computer is always the one that's a little,

Speaker 3 you know, it's Adele.

Speaker 2 I love her.

Speaker 3 Great musician, bad computers. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Speaking of great musician, great singers, can I just say

Speaker 2 that within just recently we lost a great friend, the great

Speaker 2 Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy Buffett.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 it was just such a huge loss and loved the guy.

Speaker 3 Very close friend of yours.

Speaker 2 Close friend of the whole family. Yeah, I knew Jimmy a long time.
I mean, we weren't best friends, but we were definitely good friends and good family friends and the kids and everybody. And

Speaker 2 obviously, my heart goes out to Delaney and Savannah and Cameron and my dear friend, Jimmy's wife, Jane.

Speaker 2 Love them all. I'll second that.
Yeah, you guys know Jane, just one of the all-time greats. She's great.

Speaker 2 Yeah, super sad. Super, super sad.

Speaker 1 Sorry about that. Sorry.

Speaker 2 And a huge, huge loss. What an awesome guy, apart from being an incredible singer-songwriter, just a big-hearted guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's one of those guys, too, that you hear after how many friends he had. You're just like, oh my God, everybody knew him.
Everybody loved him.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he was the most generous, kind dude. And

Speaker 2 I have so many memories of him being really generous and kind, not just to me, but to my kids, especially the big kids, got to spend a lot of time with him.

Speaker 3 Yeah, just a great example of a person that

Speaker 3 I'm sure that, you know, since this was tragically not sudden, he had time to review, I'm sure, of how he's used his years and talk about, you know, we're all going, we're all leaving.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 So like, what do you do while you're here? And how do you help people and help your family and

Speaker 3 utilize your uniqueness? You know, there's only one of everybody. So

Speaker 3 he seemed to really be a poster child for that.

Speaker 2 One of the all-time greats. And so

Speaker 2 we love you, Jimmy. And we miss you already, but but you are not forgotten, my friend.
I love that. Yep.

Speaker 3 So right before we get to our guest, Sean, quickly, how are you finding your first week back from the Tabasco Theater? I mean, are you enjoying being home in L.A., revisiting with

Speaker 3 your sheets, your pillows?

Speaker 1 Yes. Oh, my God.
It's so nice. My body still thinks I need to be somewhere and perform,

Speaker 1 but I'm almost over it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 They call me because I know they wanted to do more. They call me and they said, listen, and they said, you know, Sean's leaving, but would you ever consider it?

Speaker 3 I lost my notes during the reboot, but I just pulled them up out of the bin.

Speaker 2 Great.

Speaker 2 Guest, you're safe.

Speaker 3 Okay, guest.

Speaker 2 Guest. Here we go.
Here we go.

Speaker 3 We got a real superhero this morning, guys.

Speaker 3 Our guest today is, without dispute, one of the best athletes the world has ever seen.

Speaker 1 This is my department.

Speaker 2 And his sport of football.

Speaker 3 He might be the best we'll ever see. Wow.
He is the NFL's only five-time most valuable player.

Speaker 3 He is a 14-time Pro Bowl selection.

Speaker 2 It's Peyton in.

Speaker 3 He's the first to win a Super Bowl with two different teams.

Speaker 3 He's been inducted to the Hall of Fame, and he has more individual records than we've got time to mention. His charitable

Speaker 2 charitable and will.

Speaker 3 His charitable and philanthropic efforts are equally impressive with his own foundation and scholarship fund.

Speaker 3 Having mastered playing football, he now dominates television while also finding time to maintain a 23-year marriage.

Speaker 3 He's a father to

Speaker 3 13-year-old twins, and he's able to grade papers as a professor at his alma mater. Please welcome Will.

Speaker 2 Peyton Manning. I mean, come on.
The sheriff is here.

Speaker 2 Hi, Peyton. As soon as you said five-time, you said five-time environment.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's nobody left.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 3 Oh, did you have it, guessed, Sean?

Speaker 2 Sean had it.

Speaker 2 Peyton,

Speaker 2 first of all,

Speaker 2 I've said this a lot over the years. From the first time I saw you on a sketch program, of which I'm not going to mention,

Speaker 2 throughout all the number of commercials you've done and things you've done, I have said, and I don't want to embarrass you, Peyton, I think you're the best actor athlete of all time. Of all time.

Speaker 2 Of all time.

Speaker 2 Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame, awesome time athletes.

Speaker 3 And that's not a thin category.

Speaker 2 It's not. It's a big category.
So, and I say this not to embarrass you.

Speaker 2 Talk us through a little bit how the Manning cast started, because I love that you guys ended up doing it and that you're on TV every week, you and your brother. Yeah, he's awesome.

Speaker 2 How did that come about? What was the thing that you guys were like, oh shit, did somebody come to you or were you like, Eli,

Speaker 2 we should be sporting our junk on TV every week?

Speaker 2 Well, yeah, it's funny

Speaker 2 because

Speaker 2 you hate to say anything good, you know, came out of the pandemic, but obviously there was a lot of things being done remotely during the pandemic, including broadcasting, certainly.

Speaker 2 And so I've been in talks, Will, with the

Speaker 2 doing the traditional broadcasting, right?

Speaker 2 Which I don't think people understand what that really entails right the chris collins worth the late john madden who really created it it is go to the town where the game is on friday watch practice interview the home team saturday visit with the visiting team coming in and then sit around all day sunday or sunday night or even monday to do the game and then when you get back home you're really not home because you better be studying where the left guard went to high school and what his 40 time is.

Speaker 2 I mean, I mean, you have to know

Speaker 2 more than a quarterback would. A quarterback just has to know the defense, right? A broadcaster, you got to know special teams.
You got to know the depth chart.

Speaker 2 And so anyway, that's the, so that's what I did not want to do because I got young kids playing sports, wanted to be there on the weekends.

Speaker 2 My dad was at my youth basketball games, you know, Pee Wee football games, those kind of things. So that was the priority.
And then, so I kind of approached ESPN.

Speaker 2 I was like, you know, I saw the remote thing. Is that going to continue? I could get my brother.
He's unemployed. I could get him, you know, kind of into the mix.

Speaker 2 I mean, literally, Eli, I mean, he literally thought they were joking. He's like, wait a minute, they're going to pay me to watch football with my brother from my own

Speaker 2 house in New Jersey. He's like, yes.
I know I went to old miss, but I'm still smart enough to know that's a good deal. I will do this.
And

Speaker 2 that's how it, yeah, the whole whole family will um that's amazing the uh that's how it came about and so look we we feel like we are at a bar or on the couch watching the game together which we would be doing anyway and the viewer is sitting there with us and our guest yeah they have to love football will that's the number one criteria you got to love football and what's cool to me will called in right like i'm supposed to call in yeah we'd love to have we'd love to have all of i mean now that sean's that expert you know get uh picker

Speaker 2 of the spread but also but payton i used to play football when i was a kid which is which is critical which is critical to being on it. You have to have played flag as a third grader to get on.

Speaker 1 No, no, I was tackle football.

Speaker 2 Really? It's also about the money. Sean,

Speaker 2 your dad watched your games. I heard it through the rearview mirror, right?

Speaker 2 As he was driving away. A lot of stuff view here.

Speaker 2 As he was driving away. Sean's family.
Sean's dad famously left his family. But Peyton.

Speaker 2 Tough speed.

Speaker 2 You know, what's funny is

Speaker 2 we started a Smartlist during the pandemic as well.

Speaker 2 And we can't believe that anybody would want to sit around and listen to us just shoot the shit. It seems ridiculous, even today.

Speaker 2 It's shots. It's just, no, it's different.
And I think people, like I said, I think when the game's good, we're talking about the game.

Speaker 2 When the game's not so good, nobody wants to hear about the third and one run play and what defense they were playing when it was a one-yard game. Like, who cares?

Speaker 2 Let's talk to, you know, Condoleezza Rice about why she likes football. So I think the cool thing about it, Will, is that there's so many people from different backgrounds.

Speaker 2 I mean, we had President Obama last year, Condoleezza Rice. Snoop Dogg is a huge football fan.
He's been a youth football coach in LA for years.

Speaker 2 John, do you know who a Snoop Dogg is?

Speaker 2 Yes, I do. I do know who a Snoop Dogg is.
But, you know, I mean, so it's like, it just brings people together, which I think, which is a cool thing about football.

Speaker 2 And it doesn't matter kind of what your background is or where you came from. I love football.
Liverpool is my favorite team. And

Speaker 2 I watch every Saturday.

Speaker 3 And this timed out perfectly, right, Peyton? Because staying at home, your kids are,

Speaker 3 are your kids 13?

Speaker 2 Yeah, they're 12, seventh grade. And

Speaker 2 boy and girl twins. Literally Monday on

Speaker 2 my daughter has a volleyball game at 4 o'clock mountain time that I'll go to. And then at 5, I'll drive over to my buddy Scott's garage, which is where I film it, and do the show at 6.15.

Speaker 2 And I'm home at 9.30. Wait, how did Scott, wait, how did Scott?

Speaker 2 How did Scott's house turn into the studio? Great, quick story. You know, Scott owed me a favor.
When you win a football game as a quarterback, you have about 50 texts after a game.

Speaker 2 When you lose, you have three. Your wife says she loves you.
Your dad, who played, says, hey, tough night, I'm proud of you. Hang in there.

Speaker 2 Your other brother is a quarterback, Eli, hey, you know, some tough conditions, you know, get him next week. What you don't do when a quarterback loses is replay the game in the text.

Speaker 2 Like you don't say, hey, really sorry about those four interceptions. Yes, thank you.
I remember. I was there.
It was 20 minutes ago. My friend Scott, you know, we've all done this.

Speaker 2 Have you ever texted someone accidentally? You're talking about them and you text the person that you're talking about?

Speaker 2 Yes. I threw four interceptions against the Bengal one night.
I come in. I got four texts.
My dad, my brother, my wife. I have a fourth from Scott.

Speaker 2 who texts, says, hey, do you think Peyton has money on this game? Okay.

Speaker 2 I mean, we've all been there, right? Do I respond? No. Do I know it's an accident? Yes.
Does Scott call me on Thursday to say, hey, my 10-year-old was playing with my phone if you got a weird text?

Speaker 2 I'm like, all right, Scott, the fact that you blamed your 10-year-old son, now I have a problem with it. So 10 years later, I said.
This is a dirtbag. Yeah, I said, Scott, I need your garage, okay?

Speaker 2 You owe me, that was mental trauma, so I'm using your garage, and that's how it came about. No.

Speaker 3 Now, wait, now, Peyton, do you just not have the space in your studio apartment that you live in?

Speaker 2 Yes, it's tight quarters in there. The equipment, I didn't know this stays there all year.
I thought it was like, we're going to pop in and we'll pop out when we come back in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 We only do 10 games, by the way. We don't do all 17.
I don't want to see Eli 17 weeks in a row via Zoom.

Speaker 2 And so that equipment staying there year-round didn't excite Ashley. We were doing a little house construction.
So that's why I call it Scott's Garage. Eli does it from his back house in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 Scott's got an extra man cave, right?

Speaker 2 He does. He does, which is not a cool word to use on TV.
So we say garage. Yeah, it's not a cool word.
Yeah, exactly, Jason. How dare you? There must be some good tax implications for Scott, too.

Speaker 2 I imagine

Speaker 2 sweet depreciation. I don't really know what he gets out of it.
He wants to come before the game. I don't let him come.
I let him come like twice, two out of the ten games he gets to come by.

Speaker 2 He needs to vacate his home. Does he have children or he doesn't?

Speaker 2 He doesn't live there, uh you know uh at least that i know he's it's it's you know he's a car collector but uh that's uh where it is but uh yeah i think two games is plenty it's you know it's good you got to get him on the you got to get him on oh god but he liked that he would like that so much uh he obviously likes football because he was watching that bingles game in the fourth quarter after i'd already thrown four interceptions so it's clear that he's a fan that is so good

Speaker 2 We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 The family that vacations together stays together. At least, that was the plan.
Except now, the dastardly desk clerk is saying he can't confirm your connecting rooms. Wait, what?

Speaker 5 That's right, ma'am. You have rooms 201 and 709.

Speaker 6 No, we cannot be five floors away from our kids.

Speaker 2 The doors have double locks, they'll be fine.

Speaker 4 When you want connecting rooms confirmed before you arrive, it matters where you stay.

Speaker 2 Welcome to Hilton.

Speaker 6 I see your connecting rooms are already confirmed.

Speaker 4 Hilton for this day.

Speaker 2 All right, back to the show.

Speaker 1 So, Peyton, when you went, I was curious to what Will was saying before about going from

Speaker 1 football to acting or, you know, just kind of all around personality. What was it like to...

Speaker 1 to go, what was it like your first time when somebody was like, hey, we want you to do this commercial or this thing or whatever it was, whatever you're the first thing, and how awkward it must have been not being an actor to kind of look at the camera, like this is bizarre.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I want this, like, or was it something you wanted? And you're like, I can do this. What do I do? You know, what was the feeling like?

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's never really something that I, I guess, wanted or thought that I was going to be able to do.

Speaker 2 You know, you play quarterback, and all of a sudden, you start getting asked to do a few different things, right? They want you to come speak to a school, right? And certainly to do interviews.

Speaker 2 Now, I will say, my dad, having played great arch for 14 years sean that helped me right i mean i think my dad helped me as much with things off the field that come with being a quarterback as opposed to just on the field i mean he always said do your interviews after you lose sign autographs yeah and is that something you have to hone being able to interview and stuff like that uh Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I mean, you try to, I still say, uh, and you know, too much.

Speaker 2 And he's always still to this day, my dad texts me and Eli at halftime with like a full, you know grade of the film like payton you know quit saying uh quit saying you know i mean it's like literally it's feel like we're back in kids so uh the commercials look um

Speaker 2 you know i remember will you know saying that to me people told me hey well you have good timing i'm like yeah i try to throw the ball on time try to hit the receiver out of the break they're like no in commercials and so i don't really know what that means but I know that I like to laugh.

Speaker 2 I know that my brothers made fun of me a lot and I laughed at that and I would dish it back. I know that in an NFL locker room, Sean, you better have thick skin.
You better be able to take it.

Speaker 2 And so for a football player to take their helmet off and show that they don't take themselves too seriously, I guess that's kind of what I think about.

Speaker 2 But by no means, don't insult acting by saying, I'm an actor, right? I'm an ex-jock that can read a script and can say.

Speaker 2 the line in the way I would normally say it. I think that kind of helps.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 3 you've got an infectious comfort with your own skin that doesn't seem like it's something that's new.

Speaker 2 But JB, I think that that is, and Peyton, you said it. I think it is that you get the sense that you don't take yourself too seriously, which is great.

Speaker 2 And having that ability to be able to laugh at yourself is key to it, especially obviously in comedy. Not that I'm an expert on comedy, but I think that that is a big part of it.
Also, you're not...

Speaker 2 unused to pressure situations. You've been in a few.
Right. Right.
So when they go action, you're like, okay, I mean, I'm shooting a commercial or I'm doing a thing.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I was in the fucking super. I went to Super Bowls.
Like, that's a lot of pressure. I mean, the one thing, and like I said, that, you know, football is live.

Speaker 2 And you mentioned a certain show that, you know, that's also live.

Speaker 2 And I wasn't necessarily that nervous. when I did that because I screwed up live so many times.
I mean, I threw six interceptions against the Chargers one night. Would have thrown seven easily.

Speaker 2 Thank God we ran out of time. And so I just texted you about that.
You did? You remember that game? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just want to remind you of it.

Speaker 2 One of my favorites. Yeah, thanks for bringing up all my highlights on this show.

Speaker 2 And so, you know, I guess when you're used to doing live and screwing up live, that when you know you can read a line and have a chance to do it again

Speaker 2 in a commercial if it doesn't go well, I guess that certainly makes it a little less stressful for me. But I'm pretty coachable, I will say.
When the guy says, here's what I want you to say,

Speaker 2 you know, my Tennessee education goes as far as at least being able to follow those instructions. Right, right.

Speaker 2 I remember that because I remember when you did that show, and I remember my ex, my ex-wife, Amy, we talked about, we were like, man, I didn't talk to you, I wasn't famous yet then, so nobody wanted to talk, none of the guests wanted to talk to me yet, none of the hosts.

Speaker 2 But I remember us talking about it at the time and being like, man, he was so good and relaxed. That was what it was, is you were really relaxed.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, that was easy. Look,

Speaker 2 that was easy to be relaxed because I I was around some incredibly talented people. I think the favorite part about that particular show was being,

Speaker 2 I got to go in the huddle with, you know, in a football game, Will, you don't get to have a 12th guy in the huddle, right? You don't get to have a shadow for the day. I'm like, hey, you're in the way.

Speaker 2 Get out of the, you know, running back's path. And so, and that deal, I love going behind the ropes in a different field.

Speaker 2 And so that's kind of what's been fascinating to me in some of the different things I've gotten to do. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But you definitely needed to find a confidence

Speaker 3 and a sense of peace with being the center of something and

Speaker 3 being comfortable with basically having the ball. You asked for the ball.

Speaker 3 So for the people who don't play football, can you put it at the risk of asking

Speaker 3 a heavy question early on?

Speaker 3 What is like the

Speaker 3 most important thing that your average person should reach down and grab when they're asked to

Speaker 3 go to show their their excellence.

Speaker 3 What is that part of you that you tap into where

Speaker 3 you're comfortable in a leadership position that you have the confidence to execute? Did that start really young? Is it something that you learned?

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's a good question because I think, look, for me,

Speaker 2 it goes back to kind of preparation. I mean, you know, in football, I couldn't throw it, you know, 80 yards down the field like some of these guys can now.

Speaker 2 I mean, I think Josh Allen and Mahomes can literally throw it 80 yards on their back foot.

Speaker 2 Couldn't outrun anybody.

Speaker 2 If you ever watch me play, Sean, you should know that, right?

Speaker 2 I had a coach tell me once that I couldn't run out of sight in a week. Right.
That was nice.

Speaker 2 Took me a lot of fit with that and I think it means I'm not fast. And so I was like, I got to out prepare them.
I got to study more film than them. I got to know my place.

Speaker 2 My receivers and I got to be on the same page more than anybody. And so I think that preparation

Speaker 2 has served me in these other capacities. Like I am not afraid to ask questions and go, hey,

Speaker 2 Amy, like tell me how you want me to say this. You know, tell me what you want me to do.
Hey, director, what do I do?

Speaker 2 My dad used to give me quotes as a kid, and there's a great quote when he gave me when I was in high school.

Speaker 2 Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Chuck Noel once said, pressure is something that you feel only when you don't know what the hell you're doing.

Speaker 2 And man, that just stuck with me at the time in school, but it applied to football. Nervous, you bet.
I got nervous before every game. Matter of fact, I think it's good to get nervous.

Speaker 2 That means you care about what happened. The pressure, that's different.
That means you really haven't done your homework, right? That's a bad feeling.

Speaker 2 So I think that's kind of what always served me well. And it kind of helps me in these other ventures that I'm doing in the second chapter.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because as a quarterback, I mean,

Speaker 1 the games I watch, it's like they're always, like Jason just said, you're always the leader. Like you have to have that DNA, that build in order not just to be a great player, but to lead

Speaker 1 and by example, right? It takes a certain intelligence, too. And I'm sure it's rare.
That's why there's so many hearts. It's hard to find so many hardships.

Speaker 2 I'm biased. It's a hard position.
Yeah, I mean, when you play, I think you got to sign up for all of it. You got to accept the blame

Speaker 2 when you don't win. And

Speaker 2 when you win, you got to share the credit with others. And

Speaker 2 there's no question it's not for everybody.

Speaker 2 Can I ask a question about a certain play?

Speaker 1 Sorry, Jay. And then I'm going to go.
You know, because I really do love football. I've talked to the

Speaker 2 hot meat. No, go ahead.

Speaker 3 And then ask him about Omaha.

Speaker 1 And why numbers? 23, 46, hike.

Speaker 1 No, but, you know, I am fascinated by the science of it, like by the talent and the science of you in your brain figuring out how hard and fast to throw the ball to reach it a certain distance, a short distance or a long distance or whatever.

Speaker 1 That fascinates me.

Speaker 1 But dumb, dumb question, just as a stupid spectator.

Speaker 2 Additional dumb, dumb question. They're all dumb dumb questions.

Speaker 1 I'm always so curious when there's a play where all of the players are like, you know, stuck together, like in the most dense amount of players, you always throw it to that corner when there's all these defense people around the, and then you look from on TV, you're like, there's eight other guys wide up.

Speaker 1 Like, why did you throw it to the crowded part of the field?

Speaker 2 You know what I mean? Are you talking about in general, or are you actually saying that to bait?

Speaker 1 No, like in general, in general, in general.

Speaker 1 Do you know what I mean? On TV, it always seems like, why do they just throw it to the 17 players that are around the wide

Speaker 1 receiver instead of the

Speaker 2 so like the offensive lineman, the big guys they aren't eligible to catch a pass so that eliminates those five right so you know the left tackle might look open well yeah he looks open right because he's nobody's guarding him because he's not allowed

Speaker 2 i call him like i see him i got it that's a good idea and plus sean wants to know well he's the largest guy so why wouldn't you throw it to him he seems like he'd do well with the ball text mahomes after this and say uh hey the left guard i got a feeling is going to be open tonight against the lions That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 That's why you need me. I like that.

Speaker 2 Sean, I don't know how it works. I mean,

Speaker 2 not as well, but like that thing of like, you know, when players come on, they have to literally declare their eligibility, right? Like, who

Speaker 1 in the field? I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 At risk of boring everybody, but you know,

Speaker 2 there's ins and outs of the rules. Yeah, I mean, there's five linemen, there's a quarterback, so there's that's six.
So there's only five other players that are eligible to catch the pass.

Speaker 2 There are certain formations that you can line up in where an offensive lineman is eligible, but he has to tell everybody number 75 is eligible.

Speaker 2 So the defense hears that and they go, mmm, maybe we should account for that.

Speaker 1 Just run it. Just run it.
Just run it.

Speaker 2 I love that. I love it.
Old school football.

Speaker 2 I love that. I love that.

Speaker 2 Hey, Peyton.

Speaker 2 So obviously football was

Speaker 2 a passion of yours and your dad, Archie, who shares a great name with my son, or my son shares with him.

Speaker 3 Did you name Archie after Archie Manning?

Speaker 2 I did not.

Speaker 3 Did you name Archie after the cartoon?

Speaker 2 Sure didn't.

Speaker 3 So did you name him after All in the Family?

Speaker 2 No, man. I named him after a Scottish

Speaker 2 woodcrafter. That's a true story.
A guy we used to know, a Scotsman.

Speaker 2 His name is Archie. Woodcrafter.
I forget what it was. Shut the hell up.

Speaker 2 Let me answer your question.

Speaker 2 Ask my question, which was,

Speaker 2 so, you know, football has just dominated your life. It's been, or not dominated, been such a big part of your life.

Speaker 2 But I imagine that you're a fan of other sports. And I joked about football, about soccer, that the rest of the world calls football.

Speaker 2 I love American football. I'm a massive soccer fan.

Speaker 2 I'm a massive hockey fan because I'm Canadian.

Speaker 2 What's your F1? You're an F1. And F1, well, of course.
F1, we did. So we did a, I don't know if you guys know, but I did in

Speaker 2 association with Omaha, we did the first one and we slated to do two more of these Formula One sort of, what do we call them? They're sort of like mannequins. Alternate broadcast, mega cast.

Speaker 2 Yeah, alternate broadcasts. Yeah.
Megan cast. For Formula One races? Yeah.
Oh, nice.

Speaker 2 Yeah, with me and Danny Ricardo. And then he went and took a seat.

Speaker 2 He had such a great experience doing it with Will. He went back into racing a week later, which I thought was very telling.

Speaker 2 Very telling

Speaker 3 out of retirement.

Speaker 2 And then he broke his hand. Poor Danny, I actually got to text him back.

Speaker 2 But what other sport other than Formula One,

Speaker 2 do you have a sport that you're passionate about other than football?

Speaker 2 I mean, I play golf, you know, certainly, but look, I love sports. I love, you know, I live in Denver, so I mean, the Nuggets, you know, the avalanche, so I keep up with all of our local sports.

Speaker 2 Grew up playing baseball, but golf would be my one, you know, kind of passion.

Speaker 2 Me and Bateman are looking for a game. He's, he's, uh, he's kind of giving me the run around on a tea time.

Speaker 2 So is that true? It's been tough. It's been tough.
Listen, come,

Speaker 2 we'll play. I'll play with you.
I'm much freer than Jason.

Speaker 3 Now, Peyton, don't you see golf more as a game as opposed to a sport? Do you draw a distinction there between a game and a sport?

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Like baseball, I consider a game, not a sport. Football, I think, is a sport.
Basketball, I think, is a sport. Baseball, more of a game.

Speaker 2 Golf, more of a game.

Speaker 3 Tennis, more of a game.

Speaker 2 I've never thought about it that way.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 3 stuff that's a little bit slower, that's a little bit more sort of, you got to deal a little bit more in long-term strategy as opposed to quick turnaround on plays, scoring opportunities.

Speaker 3 Tennis is a sport.

Speaker 2 I think I don't want to play with Jason now after

Speaker 2 hearing that. Oh, dude.
Can I get out of here?

Speaker 2 I hear your teammates. Dude,

Speaker 2 he's so intense.

Speaker 2 After this, it sounds like a long pre-shot routine is what it sounds like.

Speaker 2 Oh, dude, dude, you have no idea.

Speaker 2 Why'd you do it? Do you know what it's called? He even admits it's called the process. Oh,

Speaker 2 it's so the process of a

Speaker 2 shot.

Speaker 3 Let's put it this way. I walk ahead of the group so I can start my process and not suck up any extra.

Speaker 2 You've never seen anybody stand over a ball longer before they actually hit, and you think, and as a sportsman, you're going to say, how the fuck can you even make content?

Speaker 2 He plays very well, by the way. It's gotten better.

Speaker 3 Has it not gotten better?

Speaker 2 It's gotten better. It has gotten better.
I think I'd rather watch football with Sean and complain about them not throwing to the lineman than play golf with Salute Bateman. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 I need a shot clock in golf.

Speaker 2 I think I do well with Spanish. It sounds like it.

Speaker 2 You have gotten much better, though. I will say that.
You have gotten much better. You know, because

Speaker 3 I hear at Peyton,

Speaker 3 if you're a four-handicap, you have four swing thoughts. If you're a 20-handicap, you got 20 swing thoughts.
So I think I've become a little bit better in golf, and so my checklist is smaller.

Speaker 2 Jason, what are you playing at right now, Jay?

Speaker 3 My handicap?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm like,

Speaker 3 what am I, an 11 from the blues at our place? So it's like a seven index.

Speaker 2 Yeah. 25 words or less.
What's the handicap?

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 2 It's unbelievable, isn't it? It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 Jason, you know how he was saying sport and a sport and a game? Jason's questions are a game.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 1 Not a sport.

Speaker 3 I just love the sound of my voice so much, you guys.

Speaker 2 And now, a word from our sponsor.

Speaker 1 And together with the original Sonic Smasher, they're forming a new dynasty of burgers. The pretzel bacon Sonic Smasher.
Try it for a limited time.

Speaker 1 Sonic!

Speaker 1 And now back to the show.

Speaker 3 I would love being a quarterback just so I could yell and everyone in the stadium's listening to me. Speaking of which, I want,

Speaker 3 I bet you've answered this question a million times. I want to know the relevance of Omaha as your audible call.
And then also, I want to hear what just an average play sounds like in the huddle.

Speaker 3 Okay. Just tell me what that sounds like and then tell me what it all means.
What it means.

Speaker 2 Let's go with the huddle call first. Perfect.
All right, here we go.

Speaker 2 Let's go explode to gun, double right, flip, zebra, scat lift, wide drag, F hook, F trail, alert, 52, sprint jaw, easy on two, on two, ready, break. God.
All right.

Speaker 2 We're going to explode means we're going to start in a kind of a tight formation. We're going to explode out to the different formation, right? We're going to make the defense react, right?

Speaker 2 Before the snap. Before the snap, right? We're going to shift, right? Gun, shotgun, right? Double means we are going to be in a...

Speaker 2 Two guys on each side formation, double, right? Trips would be trips to one side, double.

Speaker 2 We're going to go double right, which means the tight end is going going to be on the right, but we're going to flip it and we're going to put the guy who should be on the right with the tight end.

Speaker 2 He's going to flip to the other side, which is actually going to form a little bunch on the left. We're going to go zebra.

Speaker 3 He's going to go in motion.

Speaker 2 Zebra is going to tell him to go in motion. Zebra's going to tell the Z to go in and back out.
There's zebra motion, right? A little eye candy for the defense, right? Scat left is the pass protection.

Speaker 3 And I'll show you what the defense is based on how they react to the motion.

Speaker 1 That's exactly right.

Speaker 2 If the cornerback runs with the motion,

Speaker 2 that tells you it's man-to-man. If they just kind of bump over, that tells you it's zone.
It's called a pre-snap indicator. Scat left is the pass protection.

Speaker 2 Let's see. Y drag is telling the Y to run a five-yard drag across the field.
X hook, 12-yard hook by the X. F trail is the F's going to run a little angle right out of the backfield.
To fullback?

Speaker 2 Yeah, the running back,

Speaker 2 the guy in the backfield. And then alert.
52 sprint draw easy is if the defense is playing soft zone and you don't like it, you go alert, alert, alert.

Speaker 2 You've seen Tom Brady, he always says alert, alert, alert. He points to his head.
You're going to go to the second play.

Speaker 2 You're going to run this draw play to the right to take advantage of the defense. On two, it's going to be not on one and not on two.
It's going to be not on one.

Speaker 2 It's going to be on two and then you're ready to break. And so that's when the snap comes up.

Speaker 3 And then what if you call, and then what if you yell Omaha at the line? That that says an audible and how do they know what that new play is?

Speaker 2 So exactly. So Omaha was really the word that meant we had changed the play.
When you audible, Jason, it's usually with like six seconds left, right? Because the defense is disguising.

Speaker 2 They're showing blitz. They're not going to blitz.
All of a sudden, you're like, ah, they're not blitzing. Okay, I want to go to that second play.
So I'm going to say alert, alert, alert.

Speaker 2 And I don't have time to go through a rhythmic cadence, which Sean alluded to earlier with the colors, right? Blue 20, blue 20, hut, hut is a normal cadence.

Speaker 2 You don't have time to say that with six seconds left.

Speaker 2 So you go alert, alert, alert, omaha, set, hut, right it tells everybody oh he's gone to that second play and there's just a few seconds and now we're going to snap the ball that's fascinating and you called a second play in that huddle as well we called the second play in that huddle and we did that's all we did so i was saying omaha every single play so that's how it kind of got connected with me.

Speaker 2 The microphones got turned up louder and you start a production company, you know, out of that because of an audible. So it was a chain reaction.

Speaker 3 I thought you were talking about yelling Ozark. I think that that would have, that would have popped through a little bit better.

Speaker 2 It's funny you say that because it's a good way to get your, you know, your show, your business, viral marketing.

Speaker 2 If you can get it into a quarterback snap count, three syllables is kind of what it needs to be. It's rhythmic, right? Ozark would be jerky, right? And somebody might flinch.
It is.

Speaker 2 Well, it was filled with jerks. It was filled with jerks.

Speaker 2 Will Arnett has got a good little flow to it?

Speaker 2 What about an

Speaker 1 going Audi e-tran, Audi e-tron.

Speaker 2 Audi e-tron. Four syllables.
That sounds so forced. Jeez.

Speaker 2 Professional grade. We are professional grade.
We are professional grade. You know what the other thing is?

Speaker 2 You could have just said JK, JK, like just kidding about the first JK, JK, JK.

Speaker 1 Wait, I would kill, first of all, I would kill to write the new lingo for the huddle. I would kill to write those words.

Speaker 2 Hey, do you hear about Sean's new gig?

Speaker 3 It would start with, okay, ready?

Speaker 2 Do you guys hear about Sean's new gig?

Speaker 2 Yeah, great.

Speaker 2 I write lingo for the huddle.

Speaker 3 It'd also be, it'd start with, okay, guess what?

Speaker 2 or here goes here goes we've got two jobs and a cuff on the side with a lemon instead of hut hut hut it would be five six seven eight and then they would snap it

Speaker 2 okay so wait peyton that's that blows my mind all that stuff chin chin

Speaker 2 chin's a chinese restaurant that that sean has basically drained got a charge charge card at i got a i got a free gift card in there if you guys want to go um so i haven't asked one question yet go ahead sean i know so so i think that's all all fascinating to me.

Speaker 1 Obviously, different teams have different lingo, right?

Speaker 2 They don't use similar things. Different languages, different verbiage.
That's why when quarterbacks change teams,

Speaker 2 it's hard to learn the new vocabulary. Aaron Rodgers is going to the Jets this year, but the guy that's calling the plays came from Green Bay.
So Aaron knows the language. He knows the verbiage.

Speaker 2 So he's going to be able to play fast and play well.

Speaker 2 Learning a new system is hard. It takes time.

Speaker 2 And so that's a huge advantage for the Jets this year.

Speaker 3 What would you do if another quarterback started yelling Omaha as they're audible barking?

Speaker 2 I'd send them my address. I'd expect a check, you know, like kind of a letter from a lawyer.
A little bit of patent on that. Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 Peyton, I've always wondered about this,

Speaker 2 because we do it a little bit. We're kind of Carney's doing what we do in that we move around a bunch.
And

Speaker 2 sometimes it sort of coincides with the school year or whatever and kids and all that stuff. You start out, you're a single young man right out of college.

Speaker 2 You go pro, you have a very successful career, and then you get married, and then you have kids.

Speaker 2 What is that life like as you're sort of in the latter half of your career and your kids are growing up and you're on the road and stuff?

Speaker 2 At the risk of getting too personal, just what was that dynamic like? And being an athlete and you've got to take care of yourself, you got to manage your sleep, you've got to manage your diet.

Speaker 2 How does that fit in with the home life? Yeah, it's funny. You know, football is pretty good on travel, right? And I think people completely different than basketball or baseball.

Speaker 2 Football, you travel Saturday eight times a year, right? Just eight row games, and you're back home Sunday after the game. You know, baseball,

Speaker 2 you're spending four nights in the town, basketball, you know, you're on the road. So football is actually is pretty good from that standpoint.

Speaker 2 We didn't have kids until basically we got to Denver toward the last half of my career. But yeah, I do think it's a challenge to look quarterback.

Speaker 2 They say, you know, some people say, I can't take it home with me. I think they're paying you to take it home with you.

Speaker 2 I think you got to really, you know, organize your time and your schedule.

Speaker 2 Hey, on Tuesdays, my off day, I'm going to, you know, you know, plan these things with my, with my young kids or do some charity work. But

Speaker 2 I think kind of writing out your schedule kind of helps quarterbacks, right? But certainly a lot of film study, a lot of things on your own.

Speaker 2 But from a family standpoint, you know, playing in the NFL is actually actually pretty good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, interesting. So like when you, because you, and you're used to it, because obviously, again, your dad played for 14 years in the NFL.
So you kind of, you've seen it from both sides. Yeah.

Speaker 2 No, and my dad was a great,

Speaker 2 included us, you know, me and my brother. Cooper got to go to the practices on Saturdays,

Speaker 2 you know, got to go down to the locker room after games. And so, you know, I think you see more quarterbacks including their young kids and people in their lives, right?

Speaker 2 Kirk Cousins in this quarterback show we did, you know, had his kids in the locker room. So I can relate to that.
And, you know, I love including my kids in some of the cool things

Speaker 2 that I get to do. That's cool.

Speaker 3 What was the tension like when

Speaker 3 you were getting close to saying yes to Tennessee and not going to Old Miss? Did you try for Old Miss? You know, because Peyton's dad went to Old Miss. It was a big deal there.

Speaker 3 And then you were no slouch coming up. So what was that decision process going? Was Old Miss interested?

Speaker 2 Yeah, they were interested. I was interested.
That's kind of where I wanted to go. Jason, that's where I always thought I would go.

Speaker 2 It's where I only college I ever thought existed for the majority of my life. And then you start getting recruited and you realize, oh, there are some other schools.
And I got to give props to my dad.

Speaker 2 My dad said, son, you're 17 years old. You can make your own decision here, right? You decide where you want to go and you go there and I'll have your back.

Speaker 2 Had he said, you're going to old miss, that's where I went. That's what we're doing.
into the discussion. And he actually took some flack for from people that he knew for not making

Speaker 2 to his alma mater, which which was tough. But

Speaker 3 what happened with the first time you played Ole Miss?

Speaker 2 That was awkward for

Speaker 2 my parents. It's funny, when the coach for Tennessee came to recruit me, that was my mom's number one question.
Do y'all play Ole Miss in the next four years? And he says, no, we don't.

Speaker 2 And it was an absolute lie. We played him twice in those four years, right? Which, you know, back then was like before the internet, you couldn't really check the future schedules.

Speaker 2 how'd you do in those games uh we won both uh which was uh probably helpful uh but uh yeah and it was tough my dad kind of sat on his hands and you know wore neutral clothes and uh you know eli went to ole miss everybody was happy everybody's at peace now but like watching you know watching your dad play football when you were growing up obviously

Speaker 1 The question is,

Speaker 1 would you have gone into football? Like, do you just think that's, well, that's what my dad did? That's what I'm going going to do?

Speaker 2 That's a great question. I think people think my dad, like, raised quarterbacks.
That was his master plan. It was actually the complete opposite.
He, like, just raised quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 Like, do you think you would have been drawn to it anyway?

Speaker 2 There's no doubt that I had a real passion for it because I got to grow up around it, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was my hero, my dad, favorite quarterback, all of that.

Speaker 2 But it was never a plan. It was never like, hey, Peyton, we're going to go run two miles this morning.
Like, you know,

Speaker 2 people used to say, my dad had me watching film as a fifth grader. Like, that is total bullshit, like, completely made up.

Speaker 2 And they, you know, I mean, he tried to raise normal kids, and maybe that's why it ended up happening because it wasn't some master plan, right?

Speaker 1 And it wasn't forced upon you. Absolutely not.
And, and, and dumb question, worst injury ever.

Speaker 2 I've had neck problems, you know, during my time with the Colts and had several surgeries that

Speaker 3 must have been scary.

Speaker 2 Yeah, because

Speaker 2 neck takes everything, right? I remember that.

Speaker 2 I kind of, yeah, the doctors that I went to, I basically like challenged to tell me like hey tell me i can't play anymore and that's the end of it like i will walk away today i'm not gonna i want to be healthy for the rest of my life and i mean they just wouldn't say it they said hey your neck actually is secure you have nerve damage in your right arm so i had weakness that was kind of my issue but you know i remember the doctor that i trusted most he's like peyton if you were my own son i'd tell you you are clear to play if you get your strength back you know, you're good to go.

Speaker 2 And so that's kind of what it was for me. By the way, by the way, it should be noted.
Sorry, just to stay on the neck thing. I'm not kidding.

Speaker 2 Chappie, Mark Chappell, who's my, my, uh, my buddy and writing partner in England, who's a friend of the show, he literally texted me during

Speaker 2 10 minutes ago out of the blue. I love you.
He says, in the end, I decided, in the end, I decided to have surgery on my problematic muscle in my neck. Oh, wow.
Dot, dot, dot. I never looked back.

Speaker 3 Very nice. That's a joke.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Chappie. Out of the blue.

Speaker 3 So with you and Eli kind of boldly going into a lane that your father had already been incredibly successful in,

Speaker 3 it's just, I think it's really incredible that you guys had the courage to do that, knowing that you're probably going to be unfairly judged.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 2 it had incredible results.

Speaker 3 Can you talk a little bit about what that process was,

Speaker 3 making that calculation, and then what it felt like when you guys did so well?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, we didn't know how it was going to turn out because there was no kind of baseline for what we were doing. And

Speaker 2 I knew doing it with Eli, Jason, was the only way to do it, right? You talk about chemistry amongst broadcast partners. Like I know Eli very well.
He makes fun of me very well, often a lot.

Speaker 2 I mean, the forehead jokes, they get a little old. I'm like, get some new material.

Speaker 2 I think that gave us a chance kind of coming out of the blocks that we see football the same way.

Speaker 2 Eli and I used to have these conversations conversations on the bus after a Colster Giants game, and we could just talk about the play from one of our games and I could see it.

Speaker 2 Like I didn't have to write it down. He didn't have to screenshot a picture of the defense.
I'm like, I got it. And so we still kind of can see it that same way.

Speaker 2 But look, I love talking football with people who love football as much as I do. And Snoop Dalton loves football.

Speaker 2 There's a little more smoke coming out of Snoop's Zoom than there is Condoleezza's, but he loves football, so it's all good. So yeah, look, it's not for everybody.

Speaker 2 You know, I think people go back and forth between the main broadcast and the B team, which, you know, I think ESPN just wants you watching one of their channels.

Speaker 2 But I think the one thing is clear that Eli and I are having fun doing it. And so I think if they see us having fun, maybe the viewer has fun as well.
So maybe that's why it's worked. But

Speaker 2 it's a fun way to stay close to the game. And he and I like celebrating the positive accomplishment.
We're not looking to rip anybody.

Speaker 2 We'd rather say great play by the defensive back as opposed to what a horrible throw by

Speaker 2 the quarterback because we've been there, right? We've thrown all these interceptions.

Speaker 2 So, you know, that's kind of amazing at it. So, no, I appreciate it.
It's infectious, man.

Speaker 3 Keep it up. Keep going.
Thank you for your time today.

Speaker 3 And maybe we'll see you down the road.

Speaker 2 You can watch my process up close and my incredible waggle. I can't wait.
I can't wait. Thanks for having me, guys.
All right, Peyton. Thanks, guys.

Speaker 1 Thanks for coming. Very kind of you.

Speaker 2 Bye, buddy. Bye.

Speaker 2 How great is Peyton Manning? I mean, that guy's a good one.

Speaker 2 JB, great one. Great cast.

Speaker 3 Well, I mean, listen, it's

Speaker 3 this is this is this is the greatest thing about this podcast is you get to sit there and you get to talk to these these these these heroes these like people I mean I fan out on everybody we have on this show myself you're a hero well but I mean present company definitely excluded oh um it's you know you get when are we gonna have a chance to talk to peyton manning and and and be like a little little little boy asking him all these questions now that i'm older i'm actually a fan

Speaker 2 i was i was always a always a fan of his always always i just i love the way he did it a i thought he was really funny um but b i loved the way he played football and then c when he did get injured and came back from it and won a Super Bowl, that was fucking rad.

Speaker 1 Was that the neck, Will? The neck injury?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, wow. And people were worried, he talked about it.
I mean, he kind of downplayed it. People were worried about whether he'd be able to throw that well again and stuff.

Speaker 3 Is that it?

Speaker 2 And it just, Sean, it kind of goes to what you were talking about, like having that, whatever that thing is of being a leader.

Speaker 2 Like, he's got so much confidence in his own ability to bounce back and not to just walk around, but to bounce back and

Speaker 2 win a Super Bowl. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 You know, I know exactly how that feels. Yeah.
I guess you do. Hey, you know the song, I like short shorts.
Does it apply to, I guess,

Speaker 2 do you like short shorts?

Speaker 2 Is that underwear? Is that what we're wearing today? These are my little golf shorts, my little gray ones. You know, so Will and do you want me to wear darker ones today? Yeah, this shade's good, Jay.

Speaker 1 Or just longer ones.

Speaker 3 Will and I hosted a couple of friends of ours that are members at another golf course here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 One of whom's a big friend of the show has done two episodes, a live episode and an in-studio.

Speaker 3 And so Will had the idea yesterday that we should show up and intimidate them by wearing matching outfits and so we did we had just blue yeah blue pants and a white shirt uh white shoes white hat um can you say who it is or no um

Speaker 3 unimportant um but now we're going to their course today their course allows shorts so yes it's that guy so um so we're gonna wear some shorts today it looks like will yes we haven't discussed our so these are the light gray i also have a bit of a darker gray short do you have any that are that are your size?

Speaker 2 No, they all came in a boys medium. Yeah.
