OnManningCast, Peyton, 47, and Eli, 42, provide commentary onMonday Night Football. The first episode aired in September 2021.
Lil Wayne was a guest on the show last year, when the Green Bay Packers played the Los Angeles Rams.
At the time, he was shown a video of Eli rapping in a yellow designer outfit and chain necklace — and he struggled to let out a reaction.
“When I saw the picture, I was like, ‘Wait, is this how Eli really dress in his off time for real?’" he said at the time, perhiphopdx. “I didn’t know what was going on. I saw the Cuban around your neck. I’m glad I actually saw a video of what that was all about. But you killed it. You killed it. Yeah, you killed that.”
During the episode, Eli also admitted to being a huge Lil Wayne fan: “I was listening to ‘A Milli,’ I was listening to ‘Fireman,’ I was listening to ‘Stuntin’ Like My Daddy’ — that’s my personal favorite.”
