The magic of Tommy DeVito is real.

It's strong.

So before we go over the DeVito storylines, okay?

When I see DeVito storylines...

Because there's 10 of them?

I say twins excluded, okay? Don't bring up any stupid movie jokes. There's a lot of Tommy DeVito storylines. Number one. Rich's dead set on backups. Because essentially he's a backup. We know he's the starter now, but he's a backup quarterback. But what makes him awesome is the lightning in the bottle. All these elements that are happening at once. The cutlets, the storylines, his family, the agent now. Backups

need a gimmick. And Rich's whole stance is that what makes him extra popular is the gimmick

and people are buying into it. Well, if he was just Tommy Johnson, no one would really care.

The fact that he's Tommy DeVito in Jersey in front of that crowd is what matters and he's

leaning into it.

The celebration of putting the fingers up like, oh, like he's calling for some prosciute.

Yeah.

Can I get some fresh mozzarella?

Like the hand signals, the agent, all the things you said, build into the gimmick.

And I, well, I'd say Tommy Cutlets, the nickname, is the main part of the gimmick right now because it really sells the personality and what he's all about.

And he's all about, you know, being a mama's boy and growing up Italian, you know,

in New Jersey.
