IT AND TALK ABOUT IT.

WATCHING FOOTBALL MAKING FUN OF
MY BROTHER AND WE BRING GUESTS
ON, OBAMA, SNOOP DOGG, AND GET
TO KINDA SEE THEIR LOVE OF
FOOTBALL AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE
FOR THEM GROWING UP AND WHO WERE
THEIR FAVORITE TEAMS AND
PLAYERS.
JUST A DIFFERENT WAY TO WATCH
THE GAME.

I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO MAKE
FUN OF EACH OTHER.
YOU WERE MAKING FUN FOR PEYTON
FOR CO-HOSTING THE CMA AWARDS.

I THINK HE WAS NERVOUS AND HE
DIDN’T KNOW AND THAT IS HIS SAFE
SPOT.
MAKE FUN OF MY BROTHER.
