Summary

92%ers we are back with another incredible episode brought to you by American Express.

Today we are joined by Buddy the Elf, Ricky Bobby, Ron Burgundy, Chaz Michael-Michaels, Frank the Tank himself…Will Ferrell!

Will and the guys talk about everything from why Buddy the Elf was down bad at the LA Kings game, the time he kicked Shaq out of a Lakers game, his short-lived stint as a walk-on kicker at USC, and the back story behind his legendary “Cat Audition” for SNL.

We also find out his favorite SNL character of all time, his hysterical take on Travis’ goal post dunk, which of his movie characters would make the best NFL QB, and Ron Burgundy gives some relationship advice to a 92% in need.

We will return next week with reactions to Wild Card Weekend and maybe some more surprises!
