Toucher & Rich Finally Meet The Real Eddie Money: Why Does He 'Hate' The Patriots?

BOSTON (CBS) -- After years of lampooning rock 'n' roll legend Eddie Money, Toucher & Rich got to talk to the man himself Wednesday morning.

The Money Man has been one of Fred Toucher's favorite alter egos over the years, portraying him as a dumpster-diving sad sack who would do anything for cash. But just like John Henry isn't really the Cryptkeeper and Mark Davis isn't really a circus clown (we think), that's obviously not the reality - Eddie has had a very successful career and still tours live. He has shows at the Royale and Mohegan Sun this Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Eddie has lived in California since getting his start as a musician and is a noted Oakland Raiders fan, so he hates the Patriots for obvious reasons. But it's not because of silly cheating scandals, it's because they "never lose." He added that he is a big Red Sox fan, though.

Rich tried to get Eddie to sing a little something for the fans, but since he was calling from the West Coast it was hard for him to muster anything too big at 5AM. Listen below to hear what Eddie is doing for Thanksgiving and some of the craziest things that have happened to him in his career.
