00:00We get good laughs on this show.
00:02Yeah, we do.
00:02We have good laughers.
00:04Cosell's a good laugher.
00:07Obviously, Nick Friedle's got a great laugh.
00:09Yep.
00:09And the man joining us right now on the River Islands guest line.
00:13Scary laugh.
00:13Spooky laugh.
00:14Have you ever been approached by, like, the video game community to see if you want to be voiceover for, like, someone who's evil?
00:22Has that ever happened to you, Feliciano?
00:25No, but I'm open to it.
00:26I'm unemployed, looking for a job, so.
00:30Um, I make my daughter scared all the time.
00:33I just do crazy little voices just to get at her.
00:37Can you give us?
00:38Yeah, like, your regular laugh sometimes sounds like an evil laugh.
00:41What if we told you to do an evil laugh?
00:43Can you do one?
00:44Yeah, the one I always get my daughter, she hates.
00:47She gets, she's a scaredy kid, but I'll be like, and she just hates that shit.
00:54There's one, and that was legit.
00:56One?
00:56No, no, good, John.
00:57And there's more coming.
00:58Yeah, Mongo, be you.
01:00It's okay.
01:01We're fine, John.
01:02I'll be honest with you.
01:03I had a couple of Modellos.
01:04I completely forgot it was today.
01:07Because, you know, you guys skipped out on me on Tuesday.
01:09Whatever.
01:09I'm drinking about it.
01:10Whatever.
01:11I've been drinking about it, too, ever since Tuesday.
01:14And, you know, Mark actually had me drinking about coming at you with something.
01:18And I guess I'm going to wait for your apology because, yeah, my boy, five touchdown passes
01:25in a touchdown run, Trevor Lawrence.
01:27So, I'll wait, John, for the apology.
01:29You don't have to send me a card.
01:31But, yeah.
01:32Go ahead, John.
01:33Yeah.
01:34Slow club.
01:35Slow sarcastic clap.
01:37Turns out I know a little bit more about ball than you do, John.
01:40We'll see what happens in three weeks.
01:42I think the Texans are going to steal that division away from them.
01:46I mean, I'm hoping the Colts pull it out.
01:49Obviously, I'm a big Phillip Rivers fan.
01:51I love what he's doing.
01:54That defensive coordinator really just, I mean, the bed.
02:00I stopped.
02:02The bed.
02:03The bed.
02:03You sort of stopped.
02:04I mean, I hate the drop eight crap.
02:08Just giving up free yards.
02:10And then, I mean, we obviously could have used the Seahawks losing.
02:14But, more just for Phillip Rivers, man, that story would have been awesome.
02:18Well, wait.
02:18Let's talk about this.
02:19John Feliciano with us.
02:20You're rooting for the Colts.
02:22You love Phillip Rivers.
02:23But, they play the 49ers Monday.
02:25That's awkward.
02:26So, first of all, what are we doing here?
02:29Last week, I was the biggest Colts fan.
02:31This week, obviously, I want to see Phillip Rivers not get hurt.
02:36I played well enough to play.
02:38Hey, he's an old man.
02:39He's still got it.
02:40But, still lose.
02:42Dude, he's 11 years older than you.
02:44What is he doing out there?
02:48I don't know, man.
02:49Just setting the example.
02:51Look at him.
02:51He did all right.
02:53I wonder if this went through your head.
02:56I was doing the show on Sunday with Ephraim.
02:58And, you know, a lot of people have been like, hey, if Phillip Rivers comes back,
03:02it resets his Hall of Fame clock.
03:05Did you know?
03:06And, I wonder if players are all thinking about this.
03:09Ephraim goes, no.
03:10He reset his health insurance.
03:13That's the most important thing.
03:14Yeah.
03:15Yeah.
03:15Will you tell people about this, John?
03:19As soon as you retire, they say, hey, you got five years, and then we're kicking you off.
03:23So, that's a genius move by Phillip Rivers.
03:29He'll get himself another five years, so that's great for him and the kids.
03:32Yeah.
03:32It's him and the kids, right?
03:33He has like 13 kids.
03:35That's right.
03:36They're all covered.
03:37So, the league is now insuring Phil, his wife, and all the kids?
03:41That's how that works?
03:43Yeah.
03:43Until he's 50.
03:44Man.
03:45At least.
03:46No wonder why you've been trying to get back with the Niners so bad, John.
03:49You're on the clock.
03:51Yeah.
03:51My clock's ticking, dude.
03:53Yeah.
03:53Got to get you and the other little Felicianos back on the company dole, so to speak.
03:59Yeah.
03:59Yeah.
04:00It's 100% or they're going to be, you know, having a weird-looking arm.
04:04Yeah, exactly.
04:05So, John, obviously you're friends with Phil or whatever.
04:11Like, we can get that back around.
04:12Just the fan.
04:13Just the fan.
04:14Okay.
04:14Can you keep it a buck, though, on like how you thought he looked and what this means for
04:20the Niners on Monday?
04:23I mean, obviously he was a little rusty, that one drop back where he kind of just fell down.
04:28But he's, I think he's going to be better against us, but I think we'll be all right.
04:38He is still great with timing and he knows what the defense is going to bring.
04:43He is a great mind and he's a super competitor.
04:46I remember my rookie year, we went down to San Diego to play them.
04:50And it was such a crappy stadium.
04:53I forgot where, I forgot the name of the stadium.
04:56Jack Murphy, the Murph.
04:57Or Qualcomm.
04:58Yeah.
04:58Yeah, exactly.
05:00But we had to like run by their pregame stuff and he's just jawing at all of us.
05:06And I was like, dude, ever since then I became a Phillip Rivers fan.
05:09So, it's pretty fun and that's what everybody who plays with him or against him always talks
05:14about.
05:14And just looking at, you know, the matchup with a Colts run defense, it's been mostly
05:19good.
05:20DeForest Buckner probably won't play.
05:22What do you think about your guys, the offensive line for the Niners and how they can maybe get
05:27this little run game going better?
05:30Yeah.
05:30I mean, I think they had a lot better, a lot harder task last week.
05:35I think the Titans D-line is pretty legit.
05:38I hate Simmons.
05:41We had a bunch of battles.
05:43For some reason, I played the Titans six years, my first six years in the league there every
05:49year.
05:50And then I went back with the Giants.
05:52So, like, I played them probably seven or eight times in my career.
05:57So, I saw a lot of Simmons and we had a lot of battles.
06:01We like to talk crap to each other.
06:03So, I think their defensive line is better than the Colts' but the Colts have a real nasty
06:13run game.
06:13So, I'm excited to see how our defense stops that.
06:16This Simmons hate, is it just born out of jealousy?
06:20Because you saw the big fella roam in the back of the end zone and you get a touchdown.
06:24Are you just envious of Simmons getting on the board with a six-pointer?
06:28Not at all.
06:30Not at all.
06:31I've had my ops.
06:33I recovered a fumble at the one-yard line in Cleveland my first year in Buffalo.
06:38So, you know, I've had two kickoff returns in the National Football League.
06:42Average 15 yards.
06:44Ooh!
06:45You know what I'm saying?
06:46I've been, I've ran routes in Mexico City against the Patriots and the Texans.
06:51You know, I got stats.
06:52I was, I was a, Derek Carr should have hit me when I was in, on the Raiders and we were
07:00playing the Broncos Gruden's year.
07:02So, my last, Gruden's first year, my last year with the Raiders.
07:05I was wide open.
07:07Derek obviously went through his, his first read was, I guess, kind of open.
07:11Uh, shout out Keith Smith.
07:14He, he dropped the ball.
07:15I mean, I was wide open.
07:16He should have, Derek really should have threw me the ball.
07:19But, um, I'm, I'm definitely over that one.
07:21Do you, do you, do you have any career catches?
07:26Um, nope.
07:28Just, just kickoff returns.
07:30Okay.
07:31I mean, I mean, who else has kickoff returns here?
07:34Um, uh, yeah, no, I don't have any either.
07:37Not, not Simmons.
07:38I'll tell you that.
07:39Yeah, that's true.
07:40That's true.
07:41Hey, before we leave Phillip Rivers, I had a different thing for you.
07:44Cause you say you're just a fan and, and, and, and, you know, but you've heard him do the
07:49trash talk that he so famously does.
07:52I wonder how big of a fan he might be of you though, John, because you know about Phil,
07:58he does not cuss.
08:01Yeah.
08:02I mean, that's, uh, that's where we differ.
08:04Um, also, also, also I got snipped and he's still, I mean, dropping babies.
08:11So it's, uh, we have, we're, we're, we're, we're a couple of different, we're the same,
08:16but different.
08:17Yeah, that's true.
08:18You like cussing more.
08:19He likes kids more.
08:20I get it.
08:21Exactly.
08:22Yeah.
08:22Okay.
08:22All right.
08:23That's fair.
08:23Uh, John, John Feliciano is, uh, is with us.
08:27Hey, what do you, what do you think about this game tonight?
08:32It's, um, uh, I hope Seattle wins.
08:37Me too.
08:37Um, but, uh, I mean, it's big that Devante Adams is out.
08:42So that, that's going to help us.
08:44Um, luckily it's in Seattle.
08:45I think if it's in LA, even though LA's stadium is not anything, but I think, uh, I think Seattle
08:52has, has, has a good shot tonight.
08:54Um, all right.
08:55If they, uh, if they win, then everything is still on the table for the 49ers, including
09:00the division and the one seed, which John, to be honest with you, I cannot believe that
09:05we're saying, uh, as, as Christmas gets here, I cannot believe that we're saying this.
09:09Do you like to, to what level are you surprised by all this?
09:14I, I always felt in my heart that we would make the playoffs, but I didn't, especially after
09:24all the injuries, I didn't expect us to be a game out from the one seed.
09:28Um, and that's just a credit to Kyle and those guys in the building that stepped up.
09:34Uh, it's been fun to watch.
09:36Um, no doubt.
09:37Yep.
09:37So, so are you, John.
09:39Thanks.
09:39Thanks again for coming on.
09:40Happy holidays.
09:41Okay.
09:42Happy holidays.
09:43Guys.
09:43All right.
09:44Tip a few more.
09:44Don't stop now.
09:47Perfect.
09:48Perfect.
09:48Perfect.
09:48Perfect.
09:48Perfect.
