Peloton is changing the game in fitness with the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ.

And let me tell you, this thing is like having your own Elite Training Camp at home.

Oh, okay, Jason.

How have you liked working out with your Peloton it's right there it's always where I need it sitting in a corner sitting back there I got the the bike do it on the tread I'm a big tread guy I like to tread and then you can watch shows you can watch instructors it's just a great product and something else that's really cool uh the screen swivels now so you can easily go from running to strength training or stretching uh there's so many classes that uh peloton has that you can click on and uh moving the screen around just makes it so you don't have to move that heavy old bike or tread.

It's like having a whole training facility right there, one place, one equipment.

It is nice and having the trainer access is good.

Oh, and Peloton IQ actually counts your reps and corrects your form with intelligent strength coaching, which we definitely need when working out at home.

And get this, it tracks your progress and can even suggest weights to help you level up your strength gain.

The rep counter is nice.

I also heard that Peloton IQ creates personalized workout plans based on your goals.

In each class, you're coached by instructors who bring that energy you need.

And that's what Peloton is all about: matching your energy and elevating your game to help you get to the next level, whether you're just starting out or you're, I don't know, like a vet like Jason is.

Let yourself run, lift, flex, push, go, more.

I wish he would have just looked at him and be like, Duval.

That would have been the best.

Like, don't even act like a hard ass.

Just be like, Duval.

Just troll.

That would have been so much better.

Nice shop signaling today.

Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, a wonder show brought to you by Peloton.

That exercise right there at the house, baby.

You already know it.

We're your host, I'm Travis Kelsey.

This is my big brother, Jason Kelsey, out of Cleveland, Heights, Ohio.

Cincinnati Bearcats, baby.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Got the job done out there in Kansas, man.

Crazy Gaines.

Shout out to Swordsby and the gang for

finding a way to get a dub.

And for all you 92%ers, new listeners, subscribe on YouTube, Wonder Plus, wherever you get your podcast.

Follow the show on all social media.

And that's at New Heights Show with 1s for fun clips throughout the week.

And Jason, why don't you tell the people what we got coming up?

92%ers, we've got another great episode.

We're going to recap the Chiefs feeling two and two and why the offense was rolling against the Ravens.

Eagles 4-0, undefeated, still kicking, still going strong.

And the rest of week four with ties, coaching fights, trips to Ireland, and some of your no-dumb questions.

But first, we're going to start what we always start with.

What do we always start with, Jason?

Look at that new news.

New news.

New news, old news.

New news is brought to you by American Express, one of our proud partners.

Programming update.

In case you missed it last week, we dropped two episodes, Deion Sanders and an incredible combo with Leonardo DiCaprio Benicio del Toro.

Now that we're number one, America's number one football and movie podcast, we're going to probably be releasing some episodes that aren't just on Wednesday because we are getting an inbound of some incredible guests that are going to be hard to pass up.

So there will be episodes coming out on Mondays, Friday.

So just, you know, stay up to date date with us on all the socials.

Subscribe and follow on the YouTube channel so you know when some of these are coming out.

We'll do our best, anyways, to let you guys know when these new episodes are coming out.

And

yeah, how did you feel about the Benicio episode, Travis?

You like it?

Dude, it was so much fun.

Lenny and Benny.

Lenny and Benny.

Dude, guys are just one of a kind, aren't they?

Even Coach Prime, man,

you can't say enough about, you know, what that guy has done for the entirety of sports and how his personality in the 90s has helped give guys like us platforms like this, and people actually want to know who we are off the field and shit like that.

So, but the Leo and Benicio episodes, man,

I always feel so dumb trying to ask them good questions, but it's at the end of it, it just felt like it was a fun hang with the guys, man.

It was an awesome episode to record, which is the most important for us.

Like, if we have fun doing it, that's the biggest thing.

And, like, the fact that we were doing that with Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio del Toro is fucking crazy.

And it seems like people really enjoyed it, which makes it even better, right?

Yeah.

But I really enjoy the thing I enjoyed the most was reading comments like Leonardo Caprio is so, this podcast is so beneath Leonardo DiCaprio's talent.

And I'm like,

I mean, I don't disagree with you one bit.

It is 100% beneath Leonardo DiCaprio.

We are not at all qualified to do this.

No, by any means.

I really enjoyed listening to those where I was was like, Yeah, no shit.

I don't know what you want me to tell you.

Who are you telling?

I still don't know how the fuck I got this.

What kind of gig is this?

I still play football for a living.

Needless to say, it was awesome.

And I'm very glad that people enjoyed it.

92%ers.

Thank you so much for tuning in.

Another bit of new news, Trav.

Got a birthday coming up, Bubba.

Comes around every year if you're lucky.

October 5th, baby, a little Sunday right before the game.

A little birthday game action.

What is Travis's stats on birthday games?

I don't think we should look that up.

Why not?

Because I don't think they're very good.

Has it been bad?

Your birthday games are bad?

I don't think I've ever had a good game.

Andy's not setting you up with some birthday presents on game day.

What's happening about the birthday?

My birthday just isn't a fucking, you know.

Is it because you're a Libra?

I don't know, man.

Are you even a Libra?

Am I getting that right?

I know I'm a Scorpio.

It's not a good day.

It's just an annoying day for me.

I don't want to get into the great birthdays, but I'm just not in on birthdays.

What?

Yeah,

I'm kind of with you.

Celebrating birthdays, although kids' birthdays, Wyatt also has a birthday coming up.

Yeah.

So very excited about that.

Your birthday.

Just let me live, man.

Unless it's like a big milestone birthday.

Like, once you get to 40, that's a big one.

That's a big one.

You turn in 36.

Like, I don't know.

Is there any numerology?

That's 12.

What's the numerology with 36?

Half of 72.

Yeah.

12 times 3.

Baker's dozen.

I don't even know where I'm going with this.

All right.

What's your sign?

I'm a Leo.

You're a Leo?

What's a Leo?

No,

no.

Are you a Libra?

Libra.

What are Libra's attributes?

I don't know.

Can we find this out?

For the birthday game?

Jason, I already get Travis a gift.

I haven't gotten Travis a gift and a birthday in a long time.

Yeah, that's Christmas still happens.

Birthday is not as much.

And numerology, oh, so with the numerology, 36 can symbolize celestial authority.

Holy shit, that is a strong word.

Particularly in Chinese philosophy.

Well, we're big Chinese philosophers in this podcast.

Considered a sign from angels and ascended masters.

That's one at one's actions in manifesting material needs are divinely guided.

Sounds like you're about to have a fucking baller of a game, if you ask me.

That's a fucking celestial authority?

That's like you're a god.

What's okay?

Can we, what's the

Libra?

What do we got for Libra?

Dislike conflict, thrive in partnerships, and have a strong appreciation for beauty.

Well, they got two out of three.

Dislike conflict is not accurate.

I

enjoy a little bit of conflicts every now and then.

I go towards the conflict.

Some reason, it comes towards me.

Yeah, that's right.

I don't know how.

It's like I'm a magnet to it, actually.

Happy birthday, Trav.

Good luck this week on your birthday game, celebrating in the wonderful.

Where else would you rather celebrate a birthday in Jacksonville?

I'm actually going to be with you for your birthday Monday Night Football.

Can't wait.

Can't wait.

Oh, you're ready to fuzz out football.

It's the best.

It's bad.

Chris Stableton does a good job now with the song as well.

Kills it.

Him and Snoop.

They crush it.

It's also International Podcast Day.

I'm only telling you that because Brandon put it in the rundown.

I could give two fucks about International Podcast Day, so I'm not celebrating.

Trav, are you celebrating International Podcast Day?

I'll celebrate International Podcast Day.

Would you rather celebrate International Podcast Day or your birthday?

Yeah, let's do it.

Because

I don't like just celebrating me.

Feels weird.

I like celebrating

everyone as a team.

I like ours.

We have

this team.

I like we can celebrate them.

So

free garage beers for everyone.

On the team.

Yeah.

There we go.

Like that.

Well done.

Nice.

News brought to you by American Express.

Let's move on to some bold topics that wrap up week four.

Bold topics is brought to you by Hulu's Chad Powers.

All right, now.

Let's dig into some Chiefs Ravens.

Chiefs 37, Ravens 20.

Tramp.

I guess.

Go ahead, brother.

Talk your shit.

Talk your shit, pim.

The Chiefs are back.

We just defended Arrowhead, baby.

Arrowhead was fucking rocking on a nice 3 p.m.

afternoon on Sunday.

It felt good, man.

It felt good.

The energy on the sideline was fucking electric.

Yes, it was.

It just felt like everybody was into the game, watching every single play.

When you got guys on special teams flying around, cracking heads, and you got guys on the sideline getting excited for those guys, and then anybody making just a first down, it's just all that shit is so infectious, man.

And

it's a big win for us.

Obviously, Ravens banged up, man.

They've had a few

tough games here within the first four weeks.

And then on top of that, I'm having to travel to Casey on a short week.

Not an easy task, man.

Not an easy task on the short weeks, knowing that we got one coming up here.

But

hats off to the Ravens.

I respect so many guys over there and have so much love for the coaching staff and how they do things over there, man.

Coach Reed got us rolling this week, man.

And that offensive line, we got the run game going with Isaiah.

We got our young guy, Brashard Smith.

Obviously, Kareem Hunts, he's getting every first down possible on third downs and making hay when he can in the past game.

And when Patty Mahomes is rolling like that, man, God damn it, shit's fun, man.

It's going to be difficult.

Yeah, the Chiefs' offense was ridiculous.

Shout out to Andy Reed and Matt Nagy for getting the stones right.

Shout out to Xavier Worthy.

It was a big day for the Chiefs, and it was a big day to have Taylor's second favorite player back.

Save your worthy.

I mean, dude, it is crazy how much that threat of speed and vertical ability to push the ball down the field affects the entire offense.

And I know it's more complicated than that, but I've played with quarterbacks or when you kind of lack that ability, it shrinks everything and what you're able to do.

It really is an important part of the game.

And it was evident right from the get-go of the game.

The end-around design to him, the reverse design to Worthy was fantastic as well.

But those catches down the field opened up so much.

And the run game was going, like you said, you guys were, it was just such a

more explosive, but also a well-functioning offense right from the get-go.

So against one of the best teams in the NFL over the last, what, seven, eight years, 10 years.

I mean, actually, really since the Baltimore Ravens have been in Baltimore, like these guys have been one of the better teams in the NFL.

That organization.

ran right.

The organization is incredible.

They're well coached, and they have great players.

And I know they're banged up, but to have the game you guys did against the Baltimore Ravens, I thought was very impressive.

I know they're coming off of a very tough game, very physical game against the Lions.

They passed two weeks in Buffalo before that, yeah.

Yeah, outstanding offensive performance.

The defense is the defense, they've been killing it, but the offensive performance really took it to another level.

Worthy went for five receptions.

Taylor's got good taste in football players.

Five receptions, 83 yards, two carries for 38 yards.

Yeah, it was just so apparent how much more electric the offense was having him back.

And other players have stepped up too.

I think Xavier deserves so much credit.

Tyquan Thornton is like a legitimate player for you guys.

That guy has really come on.

We've mentioned Juju.

Didn't have the biggest impact in this last one, but he's been impactful all through the start of the season.

A lot of big-time first-down catches.

Listen, Juju's in there.

We got Hollywood Brown making it.

Hollywood Brown, another touchdown.

Got him in the end zone again.

When everybody's getting a piece of the pie like this, man, it's so much fucking fun, man.

It's so much fun, man.

And you're talking about Xavier and his speed down the field, but I don't think enough is said about what he does with just the ball in his hands.

Like you said, the end around, we can throw a little bubble screen out to him, just throw a hitch to him or get him in like a

play action pass in the flat.

Whatever

the play design is, if we get the ball in his hands, it's even harder for the defense to tackle the guy.

But it's a good point because I think a lot of the times speed guys are linear players.

And all they offer is that straight line type stuff or like a post.

Xavier is actually more,

at least appearing more and more similar to what you guys lost when you lost Tyreek Hill.

And we can talk about that injury in a second, but that dynamic ability to do all those things underneath and the gadget plays, it keeps a defense so honest, and they have to respect, and the box widens, and the safeties have to be ready to react to all that stuff.

It is a dynamic part of an offense that really a lot of attention needs to be put on that guy, man, and that just makes it easier on everybody.

2-5 included, offensive line included.

And the big guys got us rolling in the run game, which really got everything

started off the right way there in that first half.

Yeah.

Also, we talked about it a second Chiefs defense.

I mean,

listen, they played unbelievable against the Eagles.

They played great last week against the Giants, and they went up against probably one of the most,

like, first of all, run-efficient teams in the last seven, eight years since Lamar has been there, and especially since Derrick Henry's been there, even though Henry's kind of having a slow start to this season, and one of the most high-powered scoring offenses.

And they went out and had themselves a day again.

A few turnovers, man.

Turnovers make a big deal.

You're right.

But yeah, I just think it's, again, Spaggs and the Chiefs' defense has really come on.

They're playing potentially

better than they've ever played over these last couple of weeks.

It's really been impressive.

Chris Jones riding airhead a half hour before kickoff in a more somber note.

But shout out for him to being able to come and play football, man.

It cannot have been easy for him.

You saw him after the game address it,

you know, tearing up.

For those of you that don't know, a half hour before the game, Chris Jones had to come because he was attending a funeral back in Mississippi where I believe his aunt passed away.

One of our absolute brothers and one of our favorite people, a friend of the show.

But

most of all, I've known Chris for, golly, I got to say, close to 10 years now.

I think he's in his 10th year or so.

And I just love the dude,

who he is, what he stands for,

what he's meant to this community, what he's meant to this team, the leadership.

I mean, can't say enough about him and what he's done with his career and how how he still is hungry to get after it even more.

And for him to have that funeral that day,

we would have found a way to hold it down without him

and would have played for him if he wasn't there.

But it just shows, you know, what this game is.

And

he said it best, it's an escape, man.

It's an escape from reality.

And those Sundays, man,

sometimes it's just...

It's something that you need to get your mind off of the reality of things, man.

We love Chris, and our hearts are with his family and everybody back in Mississippi, man.

But

superstar player, superstar human.

Yeah, man.

And yeah, everybody handles grief differently.

But, you know, I mean, I think this is very, what you just said rings true with a lot of football players.

Like, obviously, Chris played this week.

There's the iconic moment where Brett Favre plays after his father passes.

Yeah.

You know, football ends up being a sanctuary.

for a lot of guys, and it's your family.

It really is like a family outside of your actual family.

And it's a place where you get to go and you just get to do something you've loved your whole life and forget about some of the stuff that is really weighing on you hard.

Or you get to play and you feel like you honor that person in some way.

So,

you know, shout out to Chris.

I know it probably couldn't have been easy, but

probably not easy for him.

Yeah.

We love him for making the effort, man, and going out and fucking balling.

Knowing

blew up Derrick Henry hard on this third and short.

Check out that freaking home opener this year to the Eagles, week two.

And here on a third and one, the Kansas City defense to open up the fourth quarter.

That's crazy.

Go back and rewind this real quick.

Did he do this

with Daniel Filele trying to block him?

The funeral of a loved one,

Mississippi.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

And boy, did he.

He just tossed, I think he tossed the right guard.

He probably got a little bit of foot traffic Filele, but still, you know how big Filele is?

Oh, this is what I'm saying, man.

He is fucking enormous.

Like, one of the biggest human beings I've ever seen in my life.

I mean, he probably, he's got to be close to 400 pounds.

Dude, it's always funny.

Me and Chris have some of the same,

like at least workout schedules.

Like, whenever I'm lifting weights, he's in there, too.

And I'm just like, man, I can't fucking, I can't feel good about myself one fucking time in that goddamn weight room, man.

Dude, no.

Yeah, Chris is in there, and I see what he's lifting versus what I'm lifting and like what he's doing versus what I'm, I'm just sitting there like, man, I'm just trying to fucking feel good about this the fucking weight that I'm putting up and fucking getting after it.

And it's like when he's lifting twice as much and Chris is getting after it like that in the weight?

Dude, what?

What's he lifting?

What's he lifting?

Look at you.

You're all fired up, man.

I want to know.

I want to get in there with Chris.

Dude, I tried to squat 500 pounds the other day.

I went out and ran because I wanted to see if I could still run fast.

And then I went in and made the mistake of trying to squat a bunch of weight after I did that.

Try to put 500 pounds on the bar like I used to be able to.

Yeah, bro.

What are you telling me?

I got folded like a fucking bitch.

I was so upset.

I was like, did you say that?

I'm going to go prove to myself I can do it this week because I can't live with myself not thinking I can do that anymore.

Leo Chanel, first interception of the season was sick.

Yes, it was.

I don't know how the fuck he made this play.

Dude, this dude, Leo, is a baller, man.

John Cena.

Dude,

are his hands soft like that?

I mean, to be able to reach back with one hand this thing.

He's just an all-around athlete, man.

The guy's just powerful, can run,

just a ball player, man.

And you can't even like fault Lamar on it.

I guess Lamar could have put it a little bit further out in front, but like, dude, there is no way I'm throwing the ball to Mark Andrews and thinking Leo Chanel is going to come away with a one-handed interception like this.

Like, I would never expect this to happen in Leo baller.

Look at that play, dog.

It's one of those, if you, when you're on the bench and you see it happen, you just

jump off the bench and fucking get so hype, man.

That stadium was rocking.

Did he used to play DB?

Like, when I, I'm going to say, no, I'm going to say he at some point he might

have played every position in football.

I don't know.

He's got that savviness to where you could probably put him anywhere you need.

But I don't think people realize how hard it is to guard somebody in man-to-man coverage, be locked on to him, turn around and catch the, like, have the ball skills to make that play.

Like, that was absurd.

Hell of a play.

Crazy fucking play, especially early

I think we had just

kicked a field goal.

They were up 7-3.

So, like, we're looking for a defensive stop to get us back out there.

And sure enough, Leo comes up with a huge fucking play.

Only got three out of it, but nonetheless, put up some points and

got a nice highlight out of it.

No doubt.

Yeah, for those of you wondering, it might be Fa'ale.

Lele.

Fa'alele.

Or it's just Falele.

6'8, 370 pounds.

God damn.

He's a monster.

I've stood next to the guy.

He is,

it's eye-catchingly big.

Big man, big, big man.

I bet the 370 is wrong, too.

That's like a roster rate when you get so heavy that they start going down.

I'm serious.

That dude is 400 pounds.

You're not convincing me otherwise.

That dude is like, he's a couple cheeseburgers away in the morning after he puts his, like, in some bottles of water, and then all of a sudden he's 400.

There ain't no way.

And then the one guy that we got to talk about is Patty Mahomes.

No question about it.

A lot has been made about not taking as many shots down the field.

Yada, yada.

The big play ability is gone.

Is Pat Mahomes as good as he was?

I love hearing the stuff that starts to go after like four or five games.

Like, I don't know.

If you look at a couple years now, he hasn't been the same.

Like,

and I cannot wait.

Worthy's back.

I know you guys are getting Rashid back in a couple games.

This offense, I really feel like it's about to take off.

Like, it's exciting to watch.

um and i can't wait to see mahomes be like back to what everybody should be rightfully clarifying him as as so mahomes became both the youngest at 30 years 11 days old and the fastest at 116 regular season games uh to pass for 250 touchdowns in a career the other thing that was fun worthy was a big part of it But Pat still found a way to spread it around.

Like there were so many guys that were touching that ball and

making plays.

And it's, you know, we already talked about it yet.

Juju.

You got a lot.

And yeah, it's some of those RPOs, man.

I know a lot of people are like, I'm out on the RPOs here and there.

Pat, I think, had like 40, 50 yards at least alone on RPOs.

And that's him being that

Texas gunslinger out there, baby.

Just out there throwing it from the hip, throwing it.

sidearm over over the top of guys, around guys,

and

really forcing the defense to have to make the decision.

Are we going to fucking defend the pass or are we going to have to get in here inside the box to really get after the run?

And

that puts a strain on the defense.

And that's why they work so well.

Obviously, our undercenter runs, we love those too because we love to play action off of those, or at least I do.

But at the same time, it's like, man, what Pat Mahomes does best is he sees the field and he finds ways to get the ball to guys in those RPOs, man.

Here's what happened.

I hate when people make blanket statements like, oh, RPOs aren't as good anymore.

Oh,

it all fucking works.

You just got to protect it.

Like, yeah, if you come out and every time you're in a fucking two by two set on first and second down, and the back is to the receivers right there, and you run to RPO, yeah, no shit, it's not going to work because the defense knows what you're about to do, right?

But if you go and do these things out of unique formations or you do other things like sluggos off of them and things that exploit players cheating RPOs, like you're still going to be just fine.

All right.

There's no question they have a place in it.

So does play action under center.

Don't get me started.

I'm fucked up.

Dude, you know, I love a good balance attack on it all, man.

Here's what it comes.

It all comes down to it.

It's all like,

what is it, Sun Tzu's Art of War?

Like, dude.

Know your enemy and make sure your enemy doesn't know you.

That's pretty much it.

And know the terrain.

That's to be successful in battle.

Know the terrain.

You've got to know.

Know the terrain.

What kind of cleats you're going to wear?

What's the weather that's going to happen?

Where are we at?

right?

Know your enemy, right?

Know what they do well, what they do out of their formations, how do we stop them, and what do we want to exploit on their defense, and then don't be predictable.

Anyways, that's I don't even know what the fuck started that rant.

Travis, is the version of the Chiefs, what you expected for them coming into the season.

We've already kind of answered that.

Yeah, 100%.

I think it's even more.

I think, you know,

you could assume that Tyquan Thornton was going to have the year he's having, and you can assume that, you know.

Well, I didn't assume that.

I know you did.

I don't even.

know.

I could, I could, from based off of just what we've shown in practice and everything like that.

But I think, you know, even Xavier's taking his game up to another level.

You know, I think he's

taken his game to, you know, with the ball in his hands.

He seems more comfortable.

He sees the field better.

So I think it's exceeding expectations in my mind.

And we just got to keep that thing rolling.

Peloton is changing the game in fitness with the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ.

And let me tell you, this thing is like having your own Elite Training Camp at home.

Oh, okay, Jason.

How have you liked working out with your Peloton?

It's right there.

It's always where I need it.

Sitting in a corner, sitting back there.

I got the bike.

Do it on the tread.

I'm a big tread guy.

I like the tread.

And then you can watch shows.

You can watch instructors.

It's just a great product.

And something else that's really cool, the screen swivels now.

So you can easily go from running to strength training or stretching.

There's so many classes that Peloton has that you can click on, and moving the screen around just makes it so you don't have to move that heavy old bike or tread.

It's like having a whole training facility right there, one place, one equipment.

It is nice.

And having the trainer access is good.

Oh, and Peloton IQ actually counts your reps and corrects your form with intelligent strength coaching, which we definitely need when working out at home.

And get this, it tracks your progress and can even suggest weights to help you level up your strength gain.

The rep counter is nice.

I also heard that Peloton IQ creates personalized workout plans based on your goals.

In each class, you're coached by instructors who bring that energy you need.

And that's what Peloton is all about: matching your energy and elevating your game to help you get to the next level.

Whether you're just starting out or you're, I don't know, like a vet like Jason is.

Let yourself run, lift, flex, push, go, more.

All righty.

Rest of week four.

Obviously, there's some other big stories across the league.

Some of the other big stories around the league.

Eagles 31.

Bucks 25.

And the Bucs were rolling into this thing pretty hot, pretty hot, looking like one of the best teams in the NFC.

And sure enough, the Eagles, still the Eagles, man.

The Eagles got

a big time, 31 points on the Bucs defense.

He was pretty stout so far this year.

And Jason, why don't you tell everybody what the hell this game was?

Well, the one touchdown was a block punt, returned for a touchdown.

I mean, the Eagles jumped out to a tremendous start.

They got the block punt early.

There was an interception.

The turnovers, again, were in the favor of the Eagles.

In the first half, the offense, I think, scored on their first four possessions, if I have that right.

So got out to a really fast start in Tampa, which is always important on the road.

But they struggled in the second half.

And this is the way the offense has kind of been this year, where first half against the Cowboys to start the season, they get out to a great start and are really functioning well, really up until that lightning delay.

Then they do a second half against the Rams, all of a sudden strike fire and have an amazing comeback win at home against L.A.

And then this past week, first half is great.

The offense is functioning really good, and then it kind of stalls out.

So they've had pieces where the offense has looked really good, and then other pieces where it's struggled.

A lot is being made of another game of A.J.

Brown and Saquon Barkley not having the numbers that we're accustomed to seeing out of them.

So listen, it's probably the most scrutinized 4-0 team that I've potentially ever seen.

And a part of that is like.

I know a few of them.

All right, that's fair.

Usually that happens with some heat, though, because they won the Super Bowl.

So now it's their stars.

Their stars aren't, you know, having the 100 and a touchdown, 100-yard touchdown games that they would hope that, you know, their contracts would emulate.

And it's just,

it's silly.

4-0.

Are you kidding me?

That's my thing.

I get that the expectations are higher.

And listen, they need to fix things on offense.

There's no question about that.

But I don't think that we should lose sight of the fact that we have a fucking great team in Philadelphia that is 4-0, has beaten some really good teams, right?

And we should be very happy with that.

And we have to at least understand, yes, they need to get better on offense.

But the bottom line is we have a really good team in Philadelphia.

We should be fired up to watch these guys play every single week and happy and excited about that.

I know I am.

So a lot has been made about A.J.

Brown struggling to get the ball.

What can we do to get him the ball?

Because he's a good player.

He should be getting the ball.

A lot of people are making it out about this tweet that was cryptic in some ways.

I mean, it's not really that cryptic if you really think about it.

Yeah, if

you're,

it is what it is.

If you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw, don't make a scene.

Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.

You're 4-0, boss.

Come on, man.

I don't think, this is where you and I disagree a little bit a couple weeks ago.

I don't think it's unfathomable that a player of A.J.

Brown's caliber, I think that he should be upset that he is not being utilized in this offense.

I think that is a normal feeling, and I think he should feel comfortable explicitly saying that to the coaches and players within that locker room.

I do.

I don't think that that's like a dick move, a selfish move.

AJ knows the level of player he is and what he can do to offenses.

And we as offenses know, everybody should be upset that AJ is not getting the ball.

And I guarantee they are.

They're trying to force it to him.

I just, it needs to be done in a better way.

But one of the things about this quote is, if you're not welcome, not listened to, quietly withdraw.

Don't make a scene.

Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.

Everyone should be really happy that A.J.

Brown is not doing that.

Like by him tweeting this, he's literally not doing the tweet, right?

He's being vocal and he's telling everybody, I'm fucking not happy with what's happening right now.

And he shouldn't be.

Are there better ways to do this than by tweeting it out?

Potentially.

To each his own.

I don't think it's as simple as just throw the ball to AJ Brown more.

I think that that's not how this thing works in the NFL.

It involves everybody.

Like AJ Brown can do better.

Jalen Hurts can, I'm sure, get the ball to him more in other situations.

And the coaches can do a better job of trying really hard to make this player happy and make him be a weapon.

Like, we shouldn't be just getting him the ball to make him happy.

We should be getting him the ball because he's a fucking baller.

It's not even about making AJ happy.

We should be getting him.

Go deep, AJ.

It's just like, no, like, what?

Well, I'm just saying.

And more.

No, I hear you.

It's not about getting him the ball to make him happy.

It's about getting the ball because to be the best offense we can be, we need to get him the ball.

And the same thing goes with Saquon Barkley.

It's been good at times in Philadelphia and in certain halves, the offense has functioned really well.

It needs to be better.

And I'm sure that those guys are hard at work this week.

They're very happy to be 4-0.

Nick Siriani has done a great job leading these guys to this point.

Defense is playing really well.

Offense has been hit or miss at times, but they still have great players.

And I got to think they're going to find a way to make A.J.

Brown get him his touches.

They have to.

If they want to be the best version of the Philadelphia Eagles they can be, it's going to involve A.J.

Brown getting his touches and Saquon Barkley becoming an integral part of this offense in the run game and in the pass game.

Yeah.

Like, that's the thing with receiver.

We talk about it all the time, and I always almost have the receivers back now, especially as I've gotten older.

Dig back to your days playing receiver.

I think about that often.

I really do.

Receiver is the most frustrating position on the field.

It really is.

It is.

Because everything else is reliant on you making a play.

Like, yes.

No, you're relying on everything else.

I mean, you can run.

Yeah, I think that you're not only relying on the play.

You got to do your job.

You've got to run a great route and get it blocked the quarterback to put it somewhere in the right vicinity.

Yeah.

I hear what you're saying.

Yes.

It's a frustrating-ass position at times.

It's frustrating for AJ right now, clearly, because he's going to social media to let everybody know how frustrated he is.

And

where I show my frustration is when we're not rolling as an offense.

And

I think it's frustration.

It's the desire to get it fixed.

It's also really hard for me to get mad when we're winning.

I think I don't find that energy or that feeling in me if we're winning, if we're having success, if we're putting up points, if we're winning football games.

So I just, I think the biggest thing for, you know, that desire to want to be a part of the game more, it just comes to practices.

It comes to, you know, that relationship I got with the quarterback.

I feel like whenever I

was searching for more opportunities in a game, I would just, after every single

rep in practice, after every single, you know, conversation in the meeting rooms about a certain play.

I'd go up to Pat or go up to the coaches and make sure they know that I'm on the same page as them in some form or fashion.

And I think that's always a better option in my mind.

I can't say that I've never gotten frustrated and

lashed out and

done something to make sure everyone knows this is how I feel about it.

We all love the fucking game.

We all want to fucking win and we all want to have fun doing it and yeah as a pass catcher having that ball in your hand is the most fun thing you can do in the nfl and i'm glad you brought up going to the coaches going to the quarterback because communication is always the answer like that's the only way it's going to get better and that should work i expect it to work even if it doesn't though at least you're trying to make it better if you just walk away if you just like get so frustrated that you're not even going to talk to it it's never going to get better yeah there's there it's only going to get worse so like i know the frustration is there but that can't can't be the answer.

And I know AJ knows that, and I know that he was just frustrated.

Listen, again, him tweeting that out,

it puts some added pressure now on the Eagles coaching staff and on Jalen to make sure he gets touches in this next game.

It just does.

And

it puts it on him, baby.

You got to.

It does.

Oh, yeah.

That's a good point.

You got to go out there and

go to work, brother.

Oh, man.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Love talking about that stuff.

When you're 4-0,

to me, the fact that we're 4-0 and we still haven't even had our best players involved in the offensive.

Brother, look what happened with the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have struggled on offense.

All of a sudden, they got that figured out and they blew the fucking breaks off of the Ravens, one of the best teams in the league over the past decade.

So to me, I'm optimistic as a motherfucker right now, but we do got to get it fixed.

There's no question about that.

Yeah.

And I got to catch the ball.

One guy that isn't frustrated right now is Jalen Carter.

Jalen Carter comes out and said, I'd rather have a bad game with a dub than six sacks with a loss.

I'd rather play as a team and we eat off each other, man.

I get that.

Yeah.

How about this?

I want six sacks and a win.

That's what I want when I'm a fucking baller ass defensive end.

That's what I want.

I get what he's saying.

I get what he's saying.

I don't think it's that simple.

If you're a great player in this league, you want to affect the game, especially if you're paid to be the guy.

All eyes are looking at you.

to get those opportunities.

That's the biggest thing.

I get what he's saying.

I really do.

And I think that's the right mentality that the team should be spreading.

And that's the right mentality as a player in the league.

But the reality is: if you're a fucking beast and you're a competitor, you want me on that wall.

You need me on that wall.

Like, that is the fucking mentality you go out there with.

That's the reality of it.

Yeah.

If I'm fucking going over here and just doing pass blocking all day and you're not getting me out at the second level, you're not calling the plays that allow me to be a dynamic run-blocking player that has been great in the league for a number of years.

I am damn sure going to the coach and be, hey, remember now, you get me out in the second level.

We have some high success on the runs with this stuff.

Yeah.

So I just,

I don't think that that makes you a bad teammate.

And I don't think it makes you selfish.

I really don't.

I think that that makes you a competitive person that wants to be, have success and you want your team to have success and you know how much you can be a part of it too.

Yeah.

The biggest thing is just being understanding of what that's causing in terms of the eyes on everybody.

How you're you're doing that and how you're voicing it, that's what you want to be aware of and cautious of.

Final thoughts on the Birds.

Who they got coming up?

Oh my gosh, Eagles, Broncos.

That's everybody talking about Pat Tretan

following AJ.

It'll be interesting to see what the Eagles' game plan is.

I mean, listen, the Broncos last year, one of the best defenses in the NFL.

They were unbelievable blitzing.

They've kind of been hit or miss a little bit with the blitz this year.

Coming off a big win just last night against the Cincinnati Bengals, who obviously don't have Joe Burrow.

Bo Nicks, who has struggled, all of a sudden had a decent game.

Like, he looked pretty good.

He was throwing the ball pretty well, had some good runs.

The offense in general was really dynamic and had some good toss cracks.

They had an end-around play.

They went for a big score with Marvin Mims.

So, listen, the Broncos are a really, really good team this year.

It's a big test for the Philadelphia Eagles, a really good test against a really good defensive personnel team, especially in the back end with Pat Sertain.

Sertain.

Yeah.

Sertain.

Moss.

He ain't white.

Moss.

Is he?

Yeah, the other corner.

They got a white corner.

They're one of the best defenses in the league with a white corner last year.

They better go after him then.

That's all I'm going to tell you.

Remember, you were talking about how he's hiding his complexion.

He's got the long sleeves.

Is that what it was?

I would hide it too.

The moment I see it, I'm going right at him.

That's all I'm saying.

Dude, he's a good player.

I don't care.

I mean, it doesn't work with Cooper DeGene.

Cooper's a baller, but I'm going, we're going to test him.

We're going to test that guy.

Caucasian in the backfield, we're testing him.

All right, moving on to the rest of week four.

Jags beat the 49ers.

We got the Jags on Monday night, man, and they were rolling against San Fran this past weekend, 26 to 12.

And we got a coach fight.

Who doesn't love a good coach fight?

I love a good coach fight.

Robert Salah accused Liam Cohen of having an advanced sign stealing system.

Interesting.

Good for Liam.

Smart.

Liam post-game, keep my name out your mouth.

He didn't do it like that, though.

Did you watch the clip?

Duval.

No, what did he say?

No, he did, but he did it after he'd already walked.

He walked by and threw his little temper tantrum as he was walking by Robert Salah, who was trying to go up and shake his hand.

And then when he was a good distance away, that's when he shouted, keep my name out your fucking mouth.

While players are kind of holding back, he was listening.

Thank you, Deal.

Hold me back.

Hold me back.

Hold me back.

Dude, fuck off.

Everybody in the NFL steals signals to a certain extent.

I'm not buying this bullshit.

Why do they signals if they're like, what do you mean?

If you're dumb enough on defense, if you're dumb enough to do this and every time go to cover four, you're a fucking idiot.

What do you want me to say?

What do we do?

I'm calling that out.

I'm telling everyone on the offense,

cover four.

I'm sitting there.

If you're on the sideline as a coach, and every time you do this in like a two-minute situation or whatever, it's whatever blitz.

That's on you, motherfucker.

Be better at signaling.

I am so over.

Like, some people view Tom Brady like he's still saying, listen, he beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.

You know what I think?

Really fucking smart by those guys.

They fucking outsmarted you, stupid fucks.

Like, what do you want me to say?

You're the fucking idiot stupid enough to get your signal stolen.

I got no

issue with it.

Why are you doing signals

if it's supposed to everyone's allowed to like figure it out.

What do you mean?

No, you use signals to hide how you communicate.

Yeah.

Be better at signaling.

Be better at signals.

What do you want me to say?

And if they're better at

stealing signals, that's a trait.

Good for them.

Steal the fucking signals.

If they're stupid, if they know you're good at stealing the signals, which apparently everybody does according to Robert Salah, and you're still stealing those signals, they're fucking idiots.

I don't even know what we're talking about.

What are we talking about?

I don't know what we're talking about either.

I think we're talking about how Robert Salah said, I'll fuck your world up.

You don't want to fuck with me.

I I will fucking end your life.

I mean, that's the reality.

I love football, man.

I love coaches fighting with each other.

I am a big fan of it.

I love it.

I love it.

I saw Marty Morningwig.

I forget who the D coordinator was one year.

They ran like some pressure in a preseason game.

These two dudes are fucking drawn back and forth at the middle of the field.

I'm like, fuck yeah, Marty.

Go get him.

Maybe it raps.

Maybe it...

It gives the Jags some energy.

I would have liked him to say it right up in his face, though.

I would have liked to have seen that.

I wish he would have just looked at him and be like, Duval.

That would have been better.

Yeah, like, don't even act like a hornet.

Just be like, Duval.

Just

troll his ass.

That would have been so much better.

That would have been 10 times better.

Oh, man.

Nice job signaling today, bitch.

That would have been

still got him.

Who had the most down-bad quote of the week?

Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward after the loss first of Texans said that if we're keeping it a buck, we're ass.

It's one of those that, like, you need to actually hear him say it for it even to hit better.

Can we, can we play this clip?

I mean, we're keeping a buck right now.

We ass.

So we owing for it.

We have.

This one has got nothing to lose.

We dropped a quarter of our fucking games and we've yet to do anything.

So we have to lock in,

especially myself on the offensive line, from the defensive line, from the special teams, to all three faces, we have to play together.

We have not played together this year yet, um, and that's just something that you know we want to preach about it every day.

Every day, we got to do better, and we're doing that, but it has to show up on Sundays, it hasn't showed up yet, but it got to show up next week.

Hello, what, man?

I exclaimed out of the young guy, man.

It's fantastic.

I've actually seen a few social clips of hearing him talk.

But

if that's how you're talking about the team and the frustrations and moving forward, how to get it, man, fucking took ownership.

Let's do it, dude.

Let's go.

Talked about him not living up to the standard and then saying that the team needs to live up to it.

And there's something about like, if we're keeping it a buck, we're ass

that I like because it puts it in like a lot of the times you get up in the press conference, you're very much speaking in like these like cliche things.

You're giving generic answers to not give people sound bites.

There's something that's very refreshing about somebody speaking very organically and authentically like, yeah, this ain't going to get it fucking done.

And it's bullshit.

And I think it's a good sign.

I like that out of Cam Ward.

Motherfucker throws the ball hard as fuck.

If you watched him play, that dude fucking zips it.

He's got to get a little bit of touch on it.

I mean, he's like throwing it through somebody's chest for keeping it a buck.

He's going to break somebody's star.

For Brett Favre, no doubt, no doubt.

But no, I like the quote.

We got Brees Hall.

Yeah, what else we got?

We had Brees Hall.

What does he say?

Brees Hall, Jets, teams shoot themselves in the foot, then we come back and shoot ourselves in the head.

Oh, fuck.

I will say the Jets, that's a great way to describe it.

The Jets offense just continually was messing up their own shit last night between penalties, turnovers, all that stuff.

Like,

yeah, it was not a great performance.

But, I mean, I guess you want to look optimistically.

They did some good things for a while.

Like, they ran the ball pretty well.

Yeah.

Get those red zone fumbles and turnovers, man.

Fuck, it'll kill you.

Yeah, I'd say Cam Ward won that one.

I'm with you.

Cowboys Packers tie.

Yeah, man.

It's disgusting.

I was watching McAfee today, and

was it Bruce Airds?

Bruce Aarons?

I love Bruce Airings.

He has some bangers.

Bruce Arons

had an interesting way to handle ties.

He said he was one of the guys that when they changed the overtime rules to 10 minutes.

Each team possession or 10 minutes, okay, yeah.

10 minutes.

That he was for it.

But he also threw out there that if it ends in a tie at that point, just put the the ball at the eight and everybody gets three downs to fucking get the ball in the game.

They need to do something.

Ties should not happen to them.

Ties are just we need to stop it.

And I feel like I don't know that it increases the chances, but it feels like now that each team gets a possession, it feels like it increases the chance of tying as opposed to sudden death.

Like, I would rather it be sudden death.

Just let the first team with the ball go score and win.

If they don't, the other team wins.

I'm out on the fucking ties.

I don't want to see them.

I don't like them.

They're so deflating.

I do like them trying to figure out.

It's a great football game feel like.

Why the fuck did I just watch that?

Why did I watch that?

And I think the

after overtime is over, I think they could do something very simple.

We're just going to do one random ass.

I want it to be Nutcracker.

Have two guys get Nutcracker.

Whoever tackles the other guy to the ground first,

he fucking wins the game, gladiator style.

That's what I want.

Subo wrestler.

I don't give a fuck.

I don't care that it has nothing to do with football.

I just want this game over, and I want to have a team that wins it.

I don't want to tie.

And that sounds electric as fuck.

Let's have fucking Fa Alele and Jordan Malada, 400-pounders, sumo wrestle basically in the middle of the field to decide who's winning this motherfucker.

Time me up.

I'd pay to see that.

Anyways, it was a great high-scoring game.

Not a lot of defense played.

Dak Prescott is playing his ass off right now.

George Pickens had his first big game in a Cowboys uniform with CeeDee Lamb out, had a number of big-time catches, and he was still spreading the ball around.

Ferguson and Tolbert.

Like Like there was the Cowboys offense is looking really good.

As much heat as Brian Schottheimer got for being the head coach, the offense is looking real good right now in Dallas.

Defense got to pick it up.

They're still struggling a little bit,

but

offense looks good.

Packers, big kind of fallback.

I mean, they've looked the best through the first three weeks and they go out and tie with this kind of performance.

It's a rough one.

It's a rough one.

Lose last week against Cleveland.

And they give it Sunday, baby.

Dude, that's the way the season's been.

I mean, that's the NFL.

It's the NFL forever, dude.

Well, it's also why I kind of hate the first quarter of the season because there's so much changes through the first four games.

Like the first week, everybody's like, ah, Detroit, Detroit sucks, and then they're beating the fuck out of everybody the last three weeks.

And then the next week, it's like, oh, hey.

Fucking the Chiefs don't got it anymore.

Pat Mahomes, he's not even a top 10 quarterback anymore.

And then they go out and do this.

Okay, fuck.

Looks like they're back to a Super Bowl.

Fucking, it's just like, what the fuck are we even talking about and i got to go up there on a tv and be like oh yeah they don't they can't do a ben johnson i'm like yeah i'm a fucking idiot jared goff looks fucking fantastic

dude it's

the first four games is like i mean how you can't like i'm like oh yeah green bay's a super bowl contender damn okay they just got fucking yeah so dude

That's the beauty of the NFL, man.

Anybody can go down and anybody can find a way, man.

You get schemed up in a fucking heartbeat in this goddamn league, man.

Dude, Dude, Jared Jones had a great quote.

Did you read this?

Why isn't his quote quoted?

It's there.

It says it was if a tie is he was asked by a reporter if a tie is like kissing your sister.

And he said, I've never kissed my sister.

So I know a thousand times.

It's a great comment.

Because whoever is, who's kissed their sister?

How do they know?

Nobody should know what that is.

Shouldn't know what that is.

I think it's actually illegal.

Well, is kissing illegal or is it just fornication?

All right, moving on.

That does it for bold topics.

got your buddy sending those blurry menu pics, something spamming GIFs, emojis randomly end up as blank squares.

And everyone's on a different device, so it all starts to look real weird and messy.

100%.

And that's exactly why jumping on WhatsApp for planning stuff now is just just works.

Nice.

What are you thinking for tonight, Jason?

You thinking a little...

Types of foods?

Yeah, what are you throwing on the poll?

You throwing...

All right, here, let's do a poll real quick.

Barbecue, sushi, or Italian?

Who are you going with?

Just for tonight.

Just your taste buds or craving one of these three tonight.

What are you going with?

Kind of feels sushi if I'm not going to be able to do it.

Sushi.

We're in on sushi.

I've been very unhealthy eating a bunch of fried food and

fish and chewing over an Ireland.

My share of fried cod.

So of the three, that sounds the healthiest.

So yeah, I go sushi.

Nice.

Oh, with WhatsApp, you can finalize all the important details so plans don't disappear into the group chat or go void.

There you go.

Out of the house, brought to you by WhatsApp.

How about it, man?

The international way to communicate.

Yeah, man.

Well, it also

stays on your phone.

That's one of the nice things about WhatsApp.

Yeah.

Like no matter what phone you get or whatever, you just redownload the app, log in, and you cut all your conversations and stuff.

Yeah.

Which is a nice, it's a nice little perk.

Very European.

Well, shout out to WhatsApp.

Trying to expand.

Clearly, trying to expand into the U.S.

Yeah, well, the NFL is expanding into Ireland now that the Steelers and Vikings have had a game out there.

Jason had the pleasure of going out there and having a few Guinnesses.

Oh, yeah.

And some Garage beers.

We had some Garage beers out there, too.

Ah, all right now.

I saw you.

Snuck some out there.

Yeah.

Hopefully they were up to Ireland standards.

How was it though, dude?

Tell us about it.

It was fantastic.

I mean, listen, so Andrew Wittworth and I have talked about going over to the UK to play some golf for a while now.

All of a sudden, we knew this Dublin game was coming up.

I love Ireland, and we were kind of chopping it up.

Like, hey, what if we go to Ireland, play some golf, and then go to the game and just have fun for a week, right?

And

Witt said, that sounds lovely.

I work on Thursday.

You work on Monday.

We'll be able to do like two days out there.

I don't think it's worth it.

So, Witt ended up backing out.

And I was like, dude, I was already geared up about it.

I was excited to go down there.

So I still still went down on Wednesday.

I got to play some awesome courses on Thursday, went over to Port Marnick, the island, went over to West,

West Ireland the next day to meet up with a Irish storyteller.

He's like a legend, dude.

I freaking love this guy, Eddie Lenihan.

But

I've really been into, as I've started having kids, and you start reading books and things to children, you start really realizing how much these tales have, especially the ones that have survived for a long time and been repeatedly told by parents to their kids and ancestors.

A lot of them involve hidden messages and meanings and morals and ways to go about your life, to leave it fulfilled and to be successful and to have a purpose and

concepts of bravery and

having courage and willing to fight for yourself and like all of these things,

how to be respectful of people, why that's important, why not to lie?

You know, I think all these things, I think, are

really how you taught all of these messages through years to your kids and to a younger civilization.

And I just think it's awesome that he's keeping a lot of this stuff around.

That's dope.

And one of the concepts I've thought about with Garage Beer is doing this thing where we're telling the stories and tales of how beer has been ingrained in history and culture.

Because alcohol in general, beer particular, so many cultures across the world, across, and even within the United States, beer is like a communal space where people congregate to tell stories, to tell history.

You're at the bar, you're talking about your day, you're talking about something that happened years back.

It's something that happens and people consume, but it also brings people together and they become socialized because of it.

And what's ways that we can highlight some of these ancestral things and stories and mythology?

And Ireland just so happens to have a lot of mythological tales and historical legends revolving ale and

mead and different types of alcoholic beverages.

And we decided while we were over there to go over to Eddie and to listen to him tell some of these tales in his

uniquely wonderful way.

And it was a blast.

We went over there.

We did a full day of that at this pub, Fogarty's Pub.

I got to give Patty a shout out.

I got to, hold on, let me me look at Patty's last name.

Irish guy, Irish somebody.

There was an Irish guy named Patty,

who figure.

But this dude just made the trip so incredible.

He set me up with a guy to play golf with on Thursday because I wanted to play with just somebody from Ireland and really ask them questions about,

you know, the history of Dublin.

So I ended up playing on Thursday.

I played with a guy.

I think he did like 40 years in the Dublin Fire Brigade, and now he's retired.

Maybe he's 30-something.

His name was Saul.

His son Connor joined up with us after for the first nine.

Somehow, the fire brigade found out that I played golf with Seoul and he's like, Hey, invite him down to the firehouse.

So I went to going down to the firehouse.

They put me in the bucket on the truck.

And I'm like, oh, cool, we'll go up like 30, 40 feet.

We'll be high up in the air.

This thing went 140 feet in the air.

Why the fuck would you do this, Jason?

I

was shaking.

Like, I'm

kind of

terrified of it.

I was already pot committed.

And I'm not like that, but

it is unbelievable that like human technology can just take you on a fucking truck and have a ladder shoot you up in the air 140 feet.

And I'm higher than any building in Delta.

What the fuck is happening right now?

While I'm shitting myself.

That's terrifying.

I was beyond, like, I was like, dude, this is fucking, I don't know what the fuck is happening right now.

Did they shake it at all?

The guy started turning.

And I was like, okay,

don't need to do that.

I'll just turn around.

I'll turn around.

We don't need to move that thing at all.

I've done this before, too.

I just popped through North KC's fire department one time to say, what's up to everybody?

Drop off some pizzas, I think.

And

they

asked me, do I want to go up in the bucket?

I'm like, sure.

I'll see what it's like up there.

And this is at nighttime.

This isn't even like broad daylight where you can see everything real clear.

Like,

I went up probably like 40, 50, maybe 60 feet

and was like, all right, that's enough.

That's good.

We're good right here.

I get it.

You can bring me down now.

And then just to fuck with me, he started like shaking it a little bit.

It's not funny.

Oh, my gosh.

Like, my nuts went into my stomach, man.

It was hilarious.

I mean, it's crazy.

And then the other part of the trip, we went up, played golf with Bill Murray and Tom Coyne and a few other people up at a golf course called Ard Glass up in Northern Ireland.

You were all over this place, bro.

We were traveling now.

We were out of the house officially.

I was driving.

Dude, the streets are tight.

We had the biggest car you could rent.

I was fucking knuckling it.

It was not good.

Anyways, got up to Ardglass.

It's all along the coastline.

You see this old like fishing village.

There's fucking seals.

It was just,

it was like a, that's close to like a golf religious experience that I've ever really had.

It was fantastic, it was really cool.

Then, on top of that, Bill's over here making me laugh my ass off and fucking, I don't know, man.

I don't know.

Sometimes I look at my life and I'm like, what the fuck is going on?

No, that's a that's a definitely that sounds like a what the fuck kind of moment.

Yes, and then the rider cup was happening inside while uh Rory and Shane are fucking losing it with the crowd and all the Irish people there getting all into it.

It was it was a blast, man.

And then the game.

I've been to some of these international games.

I've went and saw you play.

I've been over to london

this is the best one i've ever seen i'm not gonna lie dublin was into it there were so many pittsburgh fans there throughout the week it was and there were minnesota vikings fans too i got to talk to everybody throughout the week it was fantastic it makes sense it makes sense that football just would work there First of all, we were playing in an iconic stadium, Crook Park, that's been there for over 100 years or something like that.

It seats like 80,000.

It was pretty much full.

I don't think I saw very many empty seats.

I think it was like 75,000 people they said came to the game.

It was loud.

They were into it.

And I thought about it some more.

Like, listen, the London games are great, but the London games almost feel like more like all-star gaming.

This one felt like these guys were into the from like a football's perspective.

Like they were fucking.

And I think part of it is like London gives so many world events at that Wembley Stadium.

You know what I mean?

Like that's such a hub of the world that

it's not that unique.

I got to think like how many world events or big time stuff like this is Dublin CM?

But it's still a huge city and it's a massive city that loves rugby and they love Gaelic football, that loves athletics.

And

it just like, it was fantastic.

The weather was beautiful.

The game was fan.

It was great.

Explaining American football to all these Irish guys that didn't know a fucking thing about it was awesome.

We were just there for the vibes.

Well, we had some of the production people were there just because they were working.

A lot of people were there just working.

And And they're like, oh, how do you do it?

And so that's great.

It was just a really fun experience.

The NFL knocked it out of the park.

Crook Park and Ireland knocked it out of the park.

That's awesome.

Shout out to the Irish national anthem singer.

I mean,

I don't even know if that's what you call it over there, but she fucking brought the house down.

It was tremendous.

And then, yeah, it was

just really cool.

Awesome event.

Married into a lot of great people.

Just an awesome, awesome time.

Well, I would imagine that football out there in Ireland would be just that, but it sounds like the week altogether was

pretty dope for you, brother.

I'm excited.

You're finally getting out of the house, Jason.

Yeah, who would have thought it was just football that was keeping you in the house, man?

That's right.

That's right.

Well, you came back from Ireland dressed like you were Irish.

You jumped on a little Monday night countdown.

Yep.

Looking like Jason Kellestey.

Were you going full Peaky Blinders here or what?

You know, I love a good Jeff Cap, and I had the

sweater while I was over there and the hat while I was over there.

And I was like, you know what?

I want a little Jeff Cap, man.

Yeah.

Just goes well with the beat.

It's a lot of the ancestry.

Yeah.

I just think I look good in it, if I'm being honest with you.

No, it does.

Especially the gray one.

It kind of brings out some of that gray.

All right, that's enough.

Dude, you own it.

Don't I?

I do.

Dude, freaking,

I think it was Ellie last night.

We were playing I Spy.

Right?

I'm like, oh, I spy something green.

And Ellie says, I spy something white.

And I'm like, what?

Where are you?

And she's like,

gotcha.

Gotcha.

It's good.

It is good.

Hold on, take one more look to the right.

It is getting white.

Those corners are getting in.

And honestly, this die, I think, is still in it a little bit.

It's good.

I can't wait till I'm full-on white.

You've known this for a long time.

I want to be full gray.

I think it's coming, dude.

Oh, it's definitely coming.

Let's get to our international no-dumb question

from

you

Hazy 1983.

Is it acceptable to wear any team's jersey at an international game?

I'm asking because of the wrong game dickhead talk from last week.

And

this is where it gets a little dicey.

It gets a little dicey.

I think it's not wrong

to wear it, but at the same time, like, just don't wear it.

Yeah,

this is where I was kind of cutting it.

I was a wrong game dickhead this weekend.

I had an Ireland rugby jersey on at an NFL game with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I was a wrong game dickhead this weekend, but I'm just okay with it because I'm like, listen, I like this jersey that they, somebody left, I think the hotel I was staying at, put it in the hotel room.

It was a fucking great jersey.

I thought it was cool.

It was green, which is my favorite color.

So I was like, whatever.

I'll be a wrong game.

Sometimes just be the wrong game dickhead.

There ain't nothing wrong with being a wrong game dickhead.

Just embrace it.

Just got it.

Just own it.

Just own it.

And if somebody calls you out, fucking just own it.

Yeah.

Damn it, I'm the wrong game dickhead.

I don't give a fuck who wins this game.

I'm here to have fun.

I got the right beard in my hand, baby.

You can't tell me shit.

I'm not wearing either of those teams' jerseys.

And I got a green Ireland rugby jersey.

I met a couple Irish rugby guys there.

So that was fun.

Well, that does it for Out of the House.

Brought to you by WhatsApp.

Make sure you get that WhatsApp for your international, I guess, the way Jason, any type of communication you got here.

Let's move on to some no-dumb questions, Jason.

Regular no-dumb questions.

All right.

From Rude Product 2975 on Reddit.

If you could redesign one thing about the human body, what would you change and how would it improve life?

We're going to redesign one thing about the human body.

Like, let my feet be the same as my hands.

So you want to be essentially a monkey?

Well,

I just want to be able to grab things, like make my toes longer, so I can grab as much as I grab with my hands.

You're literally describing a chimpanzee.

Like, I don't know what to go from here, but

it's good.

I'm just saying.

I mean, I guess, yes,

we can steal from the animal kingdom.

We're not chimps, and we potentially never were related to them, although

I think most scientific data would suggest some type of common ancestor, unless you don't believe in evolution, which Lucy.

Fuck him.

Let's not go down this rabbit hole.

We already went down one.

Let's keep going down all of them.

What's yours?

What's my human body thing that I would change and how would it improve life?

I would make

everybody's

arteries

better so that you could eat bullshit food and not have to worry about getting congestive heart issues or hypertension or anything like that.

I would get rid of ramifications for eating delicious food.

God damn.

I don't know if that's one thing, though.

That's kind of a cop-out.

That's not one thing that's changing anything, but it would make our sense of smell better.

Better?

Be able to smell like a dog.

Dude, there's dogs that can smell like Parkinson's on people.

There's a fucking crazy.

Dude, there's a crazy like Malcolm Gladwell.

I swear to God.

There's like a crazy Malcolm Gladwell thing where he talks about like it was an episode

in Revisionist History where he talks about you can see the dog now, where dogs' sense of smell is so strong they can smell diseases and illnesses and things on people that not even like human technology can detect at certain times like even before there was a covid like shot uh like test to be able to text if you had covid dogs could actually do it at a higher rate and even once they had the test like dogs were a higher percentage chance of knowing whether you had covet or not and they could smell it on you which is just like I think that'd be dope and I think it would make human beings a lot better.

Stamp of the week.

Stampity stamps.

I'm going that big Bama left tackle, man.

I saw this Alabama 6'7, 366 pound left tackle, or I would assume tackle.

Can somebody play this clip?

Caden Proctor

taking a bubble screen and running.

Oh shit, he was just lined up out there.

Yeah, they went a little.

Oh my God.

So he was eligible.

Can you go back to the first beginning of it?

It was.

So he wasn't eligible.

That's why they did it to him.

Because there's nobody covering him over there.

Oh,

I like this.

Good play design.

Look at the big fella.

Look at the big fella.

The big guy almost got in there, too.

What's interesting is they could have easily just done that

with the tackle, and there still wouldn't have been a receiver over there and just let him block, right?

No, they would have put somebody over there.

That's fucking crazy.

So who was playing left tackle for that?

A tight end?

No, I think he was

extra O-line.

I could be wrong, though.

I don't know.

It does look like those tackles are still big.

The love of their left tackle, though, doesn't block.

All right.

Either way, yeah, that's an electric guest playing.

See, this is when I can watch college football.

When they're doing shit like this, I'm in.

Stamp of the week fan edition.

Tush-Push wedding stance.

Let's take a look at that.

Nice.

Electric, electric.

Do they snap it?

Oh, yeah.

The only way this would have been better is if the bridesmaids would have tried to stop them.

Now that would have been an light trick entrance to a wedding.

That would have been a bad just complete carriage.

Oh, man.

Almost as bad as the Craig Carey wedding.

Oh, God.

Let's not bring that up.

Elaine for keeping up the new height swear jar.

You know what?

We got to stamp Elaine.

Can we finally do something for fucking charity revolving this goddamn swear jar?

What do you want to fucking do for it?

What is correlative to swearing that would be fun to be like charitable over?

We donate to etiquette classes.

Are there any charities around etiquette?

Yeah, we send some kids to etiquette school.

We fund like a bookmobile so kids can learn other words.

Yes, yes.

Like a reading drive is what we should do.

So like reading drive is good.

It's too late for us.

You kids, save yourselves and learn other words.

We're fucked.

You guys need to improve your vocabulary.

It's fucking over for us.

We can donate dictionaries.

We can donate the New Heights dictionaries to schools around the country.

The New Heights Bookmobile, driven by JetsJake.

Should we ask the 92%ers what they think?

I think we have.

I think we just got it.

I listen.

I'm all for democracy, but I think we nailed it.

We'll see you guys next week week after a little Monday night football.

Are you sick?

You got the sniffles?

I've had them since the weather's been, it's been like getting cold and hot and then cold and hot.

Now it's hot again.

It was 90 degrees out there this past weekend, man.

Her whole house has been sick for like the last week.

I was over, I got sick right before I went to Ireland and I'm still sick.

I still have a little bit of a head cold.

Hundred Guinnesses probably didn't help.
