[@Michael-rr7um]

Lowkey one of the best interviews I've heard.

[@ninersdodgersthunder]

Absolutely! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@williammadura7383]

For sure this one killed it

[@joshuaokparaocha331]

Steve Young is one of the most intelligent speakers on football

[@ninersdodgersthunder]

@@joshuaokparaocha331 huh? wtf are you talking about

[@BazookaTooth707]

Well, it's not low-key anymore considering it's the top comment. Lol

[@scruffd0g193]

Kittle is just the man. Great personality.

[@hazydaze1170]

The "Please do. Get it outta here." in the background LOL

[@V1nny559]

Dope interview but the last 7 minutes of this was the best and very authentic. The conversations just seemed so genuine.

[@brianbecher9672]

I went back and rewatchedthe final seven minutes after reading your comment, and you're absolutely right.

[@FIFODavid]

"Phenomenal" George Kittle

[@desert_sky_guy]

Kittle is a national treasure, LMFAO! Dude is hilarious.

[@TheAllAmericanSocialistMTR1000]

His play in the SB was legitimately hilarious too.

[@rzawistowski33]

I love me some Kittle interviews

[@BlueEyedJerkFace6]

Been watching this podcast for 3 years now and this is by far one of the funniest and coolest guest appearances ever 😂😂😂😂. As a lifelong Dolphins fan, how the hell do you not love this guy? Well done Rich and the boys, as always. Spot on

[@tommclain8893]

George will be awesome as an analyst in his next football life. Iowa TE’s own the game.

[@davidliskey3553]

When he is out of football he will be in the wwe. He has already talked about it

[@Ramiz112]

Kittle is just one of the boys.

[@dreams2xs]

George, I hope you and the 49'ers win one more game this coming year than you did last year.... The last game.

[@ORagnar]

6:36 Who doesn't love Calvin and Hobbes? That and Gary Larson's The Far Side are my two favorite comics. 😃 o-)

[@lancelotthanksalot7777]

The Far Side! Thanks for the reminder. What a great comic.

[@nathanchildress5596]

I don’t know you, but we’re homies now. I grew up reading both and i still have the anthologies

[@ninersdodgersthunder]

This interview was very entertaining! It never slowed down. GK is AWSOME!

[@brocksmith2298]

George is by far one of the best interviews in the sport!! He’s the guy you need when things aren’t going good!

[@Clarsard49]

“Put rich away”😂😂 comedy

[@Stevesautopartsify]

God I love having this man on our team!! ♥️

[@Seeker794]

Calvin and Hobbes, the good book. Anyone with his level of enthusiasm for Calvin and Hobbes is a man after my own heart. 😁

[@kokoken1]

The legend that IS George Kittle ... and he hasn't even retired yet. Definitely get his measurements for a gold jacket five years after he's done. Great player AND the best ambassador the NFL has ever had. Rich needs to have George and Aidan Hutchinson on at the same time. Yes, they're fierce competitors, but I just have a feeling they would click.

[@eddielee3928]

GK's a bundle of joy, so full of life. Love every interview, but this one was great.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Football is a living breathing organism is such a George Kittle quote 😂

[@MiriamDandelion]

Gotta love George Kittle, man 😂❤

[@Mr100USA]

Kittle is such a great guy and another wonderful interview from Rich

[@Bonloveee3]

Thank you for the full clip

[@Bignitsuj]

He found a Rich Eisen pillow in the green room closet... lmfao. I love Kittle. He's literally walking himself right up the ranks as one of the greatest 49ers of all time. What a Tight End.

[@hawx_23]

I love George Kittle so much, he's such an awesome guy, an even better player

[@WasabithePom]

I just started watching the new series on Netflix...as a long time 49er fan...just love the Kittle and Deebo portions of the series and of course the other receivers! Thank you Mr. Eisen and crew for this episode.

[@maximilianbecker773]

This man deserve Rings. This is the way and I have spoken

[@BazookaTooth707]

George Kittle is my favorite. When the Niners lost Staley to retirement I was glad George was there to take the torch as the most entertaining player on the team.

[@grahamnicholson3618]

Kittle is the best guy in the nfl. So funny! Love him!

[@icemanv19]

Gotta love George Kittle! 🐻⬇️ ! He’s the reason I like the 49ers.

[@piratehunterreviews9958]

Kittle is a national treasure. That pillow is hilarious

[@dreams2xs]

I bet most of Claire's F-Bombs were directed towards George...

[@deanmortenson8837]

Kittle is Awesome! My 2nd favorite TE behind only T.J. Hockenson! Iowa puts out the Best Tight ends

[@kenbovero2936]

Can't go wrong with some George Kittle, Baby Bosa and Deeeebooooo!! Let's Go Niners!!

[@lesliemartin2376]

Right on! Only a true Faithful knows that before his teammates started calling him "Big C**k Brock" Purdys' first nickname was "Baby Bosa"! 😂

[@connermcginnis]

He is such a fun guest. I need to see him more

[@ThepplforHarris47]

Love this kid. I really enjoyed Receiver. It was a really cool insight. Clair is my kinda gal. I love seeing how much love is between them. George is just a good spirit. Positive, funny, doing all the things.

[@user-dz8lx7qn9z]

Love what Joboy does. He should be a regular on your show during the season

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Mazel Tov to The Mccaffreys love Rich Eisen 😂

[@TwistOfFate444]

Damn I love Kittle.

[@greggcamppropertyinsantacr2933]

Always nice to find a great relatable person, in this case a great athlete and person, that is so candid. Would love to hear about his spitfire wife. Sounds like this series will give us insight to his love. Great interview 😊😊😊

[@NinjaLegacy805]

Best interview I've seen yet on my favorite show on YT, among many great guests. Kittle brings perfect energy, he and Rich + the guys are so fun to listen to

[@bv24777]

Bravo! Thanks Rich and Kittle!

[@mattprescott7458]

Love kittle!!! Go niners need to keep him

[@ravenswin16]

Thank you Rich, thank you George. Needed this today. Shannon Dougherty, Jacoby Jones both passed away. This made me 😊. 🙌🇺🇸

[@cpa6357]

Kittle Rocks! Go 49ers!

[@jimmypancake6935]

George Phenomenal Kittle

[@DavidHill-812]

Great interview. Loved it.

[@deganash7767]

Wow....35 minutes went quick, truly enjoyed this episode

[@TeresaTerrado]

Love this dude! Such a beast and he’s so nice! Niner nation baby!!

[@solymar8935]

Great Interview! Loved it!

[@brentmemmer6164]

Great interview Rich

[@petewayrynen]

Great show

[@claymathewselevator8121]

I can call The Avengers on here 😂

[@1VetsVision]

@GeorgeKittle- Your wife Claire, is the coolest ever. I watched the entire season of the receiver in one day. Everything from your grandmother, your mother and father with you and your wife praying together, and the letters that your dad writes you before the games. All of that was awesome. Can't forget you're two fur babies either. And please for the love of God, get somebody to block Travis Kelsie, so y'all can get a damn chip. Good luck 🏈🏈

[@albertmartinez6016]

Gotta get kittle a ring! Lfg NINERS💪🏼

[@Bassball313]

Kittle is such a G. Bang bang!

[@Kaligrl90]

Kittle is selling this pretty good for all other nfl players who are asked to do this!

[@dennishall6164]

George is a national treasure

[@erngra]

Omg! I was cracking my knuckles when you asked him 2:00 , and for a quick second, I was like, "wth! Are you talking to me?"

[@nickculbertson1113]

Rich been killing it with the guests lately

[@ChitownsDRose]

Comment of the video goes to Rich proclaiming Travis Kelce as “1st man of pop culture”

[@vforvendetta7851]

As a Falcons fan, I love Kittle, amazing, interesting, genuine, funny, switched on individual.

[@amstel5468]

JJ, Kittle, lets get Puka on so we can have my whole dynasty team on 🙂

[@Partybringer420]

as seahawks fan i hate the niners so much but i cant help but love this guy

[@stevendownie1015]

Respect to you buddy. I hate your mob as well😅

[@jasonhurley2396]

What team can say they had Brent Jones, Vernon Davis, George Kittle and Jessica Simpson husband on their team. 49ers know how to draft TE’s!

[@andrew_7539]

That's gotta be the nicest whole foods I've ever seen

[@wifi8811]

George Kittle is dope.

[@bryanthoma9661]

George is the man!!! Such a good dude🤣🤣🤣

[@kenyhernandez29kh]

“Hi George 👋” 😂😂

[@jefferynewton3407]

Kittle is one player I would love to just hang out with. HIs mom is from about 30 miles from me. So come back to Iowa relax and hang out.

[@juliehodge2831]

Love you, very popular George and Iowa Hawkeyes! From Iowa!

[@claymathewselevator8121]

That Claire Kittle is one of a kind 😂

[@danielalcala5782]

bang bang niner gang. lets go george kittle

[@mattmarlowe8395]

Can't stand the Niners, but how do you not like George Kittle

[@kjady]

George Kittle: In my defense you left me alone

[@peterhbergen496]

" who made this dam pillow"

[@FuzzyHuggs]

Just award Pro Bowl honors and have backups and third-stringers who have been in the league three seasons or less go in their stead. We get 18 weeks plus with our starters. I would love to see what some of the young backups can do.

[@garysouza95]

Brock Purdy is not three Doug Fluties in a trenchcoat.

[@VoicesofMusic]

19:08

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Wearing number 46 nice reference to his Iowa days

[@garysouza95]

Precognition of his Todd Christensen-like NFL numbers.

[@garysouza95]

Tight ends are recievers, too.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

That’s a Whole Foods word 😂

[@inqwit1]

George for Pres

[@ThepplforHarris47]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "looks like a Whole Foods" hes not wrong though 🤷‍♀

[@Proper49er]

Kittle is a dog! I hope we keep this team as long as we can.

[@sammarro711]

George Kittle is Solid Gold

[@user-cl5zy5qn5d]

That dude and the 49’red need to WIN the next SB they are playing in. I respect all their players.

[@dicegamenetwork]

THE PEOPLE’S TIGHT END

[@SteveMcDonnell]

25:47 is that a ghostbuster outside?

[@scottmusgrave266]

That's my tight end

[@philliprodriguez5004]

Susie the sailor

[@Muricans1776]

Future NFL HC .

[@mathewjones8886]

It's ridiculous that Mahomes made every other QB so afraid of trying to match his season on the show that they had to pivot to another position.

[@mrmichael972]

"Me and Deebo"

[@josefbery3250]

Hey George! Turnover........

[@claymathewselevator8121]

It’s Cena let him do it 😂

[@shawnaldrich3267]

The pro bowl shouldn't be week 13 guys already miss out like Brady in 2020 and so much more cause they vote the pro bowl players in before the season is over

[@LovedByYou]

Why so many questions about the Kelces?? They’re only relevant because of Taylor atm

[@GWS1010]

They have both been the best players at their positions for years and are simultaneously on top of the pop culture world. They are relevant for more reasons than just Taylor, although she took it to a new level

[@BillPlain1]

This is why legacy sports media, and legacy media in general, is dying. Never would this time be allotted to a player, regardless of how good the content was. Sometimes Rich, and company, talk to a star for 7min. Sometimes they talk to them for nearly 36min. It all depends on how entertaining the guest is. This Kittle moment was a top 20 interview, since inception of this show, due in no small part to the sports being discussed, along with George's amazing personality. What are we going to do when Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen, Dan Le Batard, [at a certain level] Colin Cowherd, and [to a much lesser degree] Doug Gottlieb leave sport talk media? There are no real others moving towards these types of discussions. There are not quality sports media journalists [not ex-athletes who are moving into the space, but actual journalists, who have great repertoire with top notch talent, but are writers first], who are up-and-coming, that have built relationships the way these aforementioned gents have. Nick Wright might be the only new journalist who has a chance to take that mantle, but he is a youth, so he has a long way to go.

[@troy8231]

George and that pillow 😂
