Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, Sean Payton, Sean McVay, Dan Campbell, Dalvin Cook, Mike McDaniels, DJ Khaled, Reese Witherspoon, Livvy Dunne, Wiz Khalifa, Pat McAfee and Tom Brady all made appearances during the video.
Every guest had a quality one-liner, from Tyson saying that the Manning brothers have some of the most punchable faces in the world, to Cousins screaming “You like that!” right back at Peyton, to McDaniels straight up saying that the Manning brothers are terrible at what they do.
References were made to TikTok, some of Khalifa and Khaled’s music, Peyton’s insurance advertising career, the brothers’ clothing and even Peyton’s unwillingness to run the called play at the line of scrimmage.
The video ominously ends with Brady being skipped for an interview, prompting him to say on the phone: “Well, I didn’t get the ManningCast job. I guess I’ll just come back and play football again…”
