Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, Boar's Head. Ooh, a little meat.

Speaker 1 The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means. Time to eat meat.

Speaker 1 Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend. Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.

Speaker 1 You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch.
Yes. Their platters are literally a game changer.
We're talking premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more.

Speaker 1 What's your go-to deli platter, Jason? I mean, any of them.

Speaker 1 Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got Pepper Jack, you got Provolone.

Speaker 1 You got cheddar. You got beer cheese.
You got salami. You got kilbasa.
There you go. Don't be all archy with me.
Ritz crackers.

Speaker 1 Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are around. Those are kind of nice too.
If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin.

Speaker 1 If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home.

Speaker 1 Visit your local Boarshead Deli. They'll hook you up with a ready-made platter.
Ooh. Or you can build on your own.
There you go. Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor.

Speaker 1 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905. How about it? It's just a great name, too.
Over 100. Yeah, you know what you're getting.
Boar's Head.

Speaker 1 This is a real good story about Drew, a real United Airlines customer. After almost four years of treatments, I was finally cancer-free.
My mom's like, Where do you want to go to celebrate?

Speaker 1 I'm like, Let's go somewhere tropical. And then pilot hopped on the intercom and started talking about me.
And I was like, What is going on here?

Speaker 1 My wife beats cancer too, and I wanted to celebrate his special moment. That's Bill, a real United pilot.
We brought him drinks and donuts. We all signed a card.
I was smiling ear to ear.

Speaker 1 Best flight ever for sure. That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 1 You're over a decade older than every other person on this list. Man, I feel younger than ever too, man.

Speaker 1 Every single person on this list was born after Y2K. That's insane.
They don't even know what Y2K is. They don't even know the world was about to end.

Speaker 1 They didn't know the predicament that we were in with the computers and their calendars. You know know how many gallons of water we're under we're in our basement

Is that unexciting, inexciting? Yeah, the game sucked.

It was fantastic. How about it? And he ordered just about everything that I told him to order.

Speaker 1 You told me the homache, the A5 strip. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Lobster girls. I got those.
The linguine. Did you get the linguine? I didn't get the linguine.
Fuck. I knew I was forgetting something.
Yeah, you were missing out on that one.

Speaker 1 I heard you might even have some content with Big Ed coming up. Big Ed was there with me.
Nice.

Speaker 1 It was a great meal. It was good.
Saw Peter Schraeger and Cliff Kingsbury there. Nice.

Speaker 1 It was a star-studded, like everybody.

Speaker 1 Troy popped in too. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I didn't see if Troy was eating there. Joe Buck was definitely there with

Speaker 1 Michelle.

Speaker 1 Well, I appreciate you for pulling up. Joe Buck, the whole gang over there at ESPN, and any of the commanders that stopped through, knowing that

Speaker 1 most of the away teams stay at the Lowe's as well. But

Speaker 1 yeah, man. How'd you like it? It's fantastic.
I mean, it's a high-end, like very well-done steakhouse. Nice.
I did think it was interesting. There's a lot more creativity to it.
I didn't.

Speaker 1 There was the goat burger, which was like a step up from the big red, but I'm like, I'm getting the big red. I'm here for the Andy Reed burger.
Got to get the big red.

Speaker 1 And then got the cheese steak as well. We also got the meatballs and whipped pricata.
That was fantastic.

Speaker 1 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you get the big Yeti? I did.
I got the Big Yeti. I got the Alchemy.
I got both.

Speaker 1 The Alchemy. That's tasty.
I'll tell you what. That thing is.
Cosmopolitan twists, which I don't care. Call me what you want.
It was tasty.

Speaker 1 The Big Yeti was great. Got a garage beer.
Nice. Yeah.
We got garagers in there, baby.

Speaker 1 My favorite part of the evening, the waitress is, we're asking her, like, oh, what do you like? Like, what? And she's kind of listing off all these things. And you know, dad can't hear, right?

Speaker 1 So he's on the far side of it already. Damn it.

Speaker 1 And I look, I'm like looking over, and I look over at him, and I can tell he can't hear a fucking thing.

Speaker 1 He's not listening to anything. He whispers to me.
He's like, I can't fucking hear a single thing she said.

Speaker 1 And all he does is she's mid still explaining he's like whip ricotta meatballs

Speaker 1 like not in a nick way he just like he just like blurts it out and she's like oh yeah the whip ricotta is like a nice and i'm like oh no no he's ordering that

Speaker 1 it was so fucking funny brandon put it in here what's the most Travis Kelsey thing about the restaurant? What's the most Travis Kelsey thing about the restaurant? I mean, the Big Yeti drink.

Speaker 1 I think the most Travis-Kelsey thing is like it has a lot of

Speaker 1 like

Speaker 1 regular food done at like an upscale level. Like I've always made fun of Travis a little bit for like chicken fingers, cheeseburgers, like grilled cheese.

Speaker 1 Like you're

Speaker 1 like a very

Speaker 1 like Trav for a long time ate like a child.

Speaker 1 And now we're at a steakhouse and there's some child like items that are done at like a really high level or like, I guess, like normal item, like lobster roll.

Speaker 1 Like, it's like everybody's had a lobster roll, but this is like a more upscale, intense flair, flavor lobster.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

Speaker 1 so that feels Travis Kelsey. Like, I appreciate you pulling up to the uh, to the restaurant, um, and everybody that pulled up to the restaurant, man.

Speaker 1 Um, and if you get an opportunity, go in there and check it out, man.

Speaker 1 You get there on those, the prime time and the prime hours, man, you'll get some live music, all pretty much Motown music, and uh, they absolutely crush it in there, man.

Speaker 1 It's such an honor to be a part of this thing. Highly recommend getting your reservation in advance because it was, it's not easy to get into, folks.

Speaker 1 Who are rolling, baby.

Speaker 1 All right, let's keep this thing moving. Jason came out with yet another cinematic masterpiece.

Speaker 1 I don't know whether they call you, Arnold Kelsey or Jason Schwarzenegger. We had this idea to do a Predator

Speaker 1 Garage Beer freaking

Speaker 1 kind of funny short film. This isn't even the full line.
We got a full like 11-minute feature coming out on November 1st. Let's go.

Speaker 1 One of the coolest things that we got to actually partner with the actual Predator movie that's coming out. So

Speaker 1 we're doing a bunch of cross-promotion because, I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't know what it is about Predator. I just love everything about the series, like all of it.
Like, whenever there's a Predator available to be watched, I'm all in on it.

Speaker 1 And this new one looks pretty dope.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I can't.
Well, just because you're helped promoting it, I'm in. Yeah, man.
It'll be awesome, dude. You got Bo Allen in it again, dude.
Bo's

Speaker 1 crushing it everywhere.

Speaker 1 I'm just blown away at how good this shit looks. Like, it's not just you just fucking around with like a camcorder in the backyard.

Speaker 1 It's like you guys are actually doing a great job with the special effects and like just the shots and the lighting. Everything looks fucking great, man.

Speaker 1 Honestly, like, I can take zero credit for that. Yeah, there's a a

Speaker 1 showing love, though.

Speaker 1 Jordan Phoenix, the director, and I think it's his company. If I'm not, if it's not Jordan, I apologize.
I always fucking forget, but he's has a whole crew of people that he works with.

Speaker 1 And we've done a bunch of stuff now with Carage Beer. We did the Brumate

Speaker 1 earlier in the year with you.

Speaker 1 They are incredible, all of them.

Speaker 1 Papa and

Speaker 1 Hackett, Jason Hackett has been in a bunch of the films now.

Speaker 1 So there's like a good team of people that know how to work together. And Jordan's so,

Speaker 1 I guess he knows so many people in the different in the industry. Yeah, the industry.
Thank you. Where like if we need sound, he's got a sound guy.
If we need special effects, there's that person. And

Speaker 1 it's, it's been a lot of fun making this stuff. So hell yeah.
You know, we get to drink a bunch of beer and make some stupid film. It'd save the world, man.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 enjoy reliving one of our childhood favorite movies of all time and get excited about the new one coming out. So, yeah,

Speaker 1 it's pretty awesome. Appreciate it.
Fuck you. Well,

Speaker 1 if you guys haven't seen just the first snippet, which was the cross promo for the new Predator movie, it's on

Speaker 1 Garage Beer's social page as well as Jason's social page. But

Speaker 1 coming November 1st or 2nd. So our film is coming out the 1st.
Nice. I think that's Friday.
Does that sound right? Or is that Saturday? Let's call it November 1st. Everybody, stay on the lookout.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and then Predator Badlands, the new Predator that comes out this year, is coming out November 7th. Keep it a lookout, baby.

Speaker 1 Let's move on to a little bold topics to wrap up week eight in the NFL. Bold topics is brought to you by Gillette.

Speaker 1 Let's start with the Chiefs, Trav. A little Monday night football.
The best a fan can get.

Speaker 1 Chiefs, 28, Commander 7.

Speaker 1 Monday Night Football. Trav, what are your initial thoughts? I got to stop fucking handing the goddamn other team the ball, man.
Fuck. You made up for it.
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 Everyone's like, yeah, you made up for it. You had 99 more yards.
And I'm just like, yeah, no, but that doesn't take away from the fact that I turned the ball over. But I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Thank you for saying that I had a decent game.

Speaker 1 You had a great game.

Speaker 1 I think we're rolling, man. We're rolling as a team.
Obviously, Commander's missing

Speaker 1 their QB. And

Speaker 1 he's the kind of player where, if he's playing, that game is probably a little bit closer.

Speaker 1 But at the same time, man, defense is playing great. Special teams is playing great.

Speaker 1 And offense, man, it just feels like

Speaker 1 we're dialing the right things up and

Speaker 1 we're rolling as an offense, man. It's fun when everybody's getting a piece of the pie.

Speaker 1 You know, Rashid's going crazy.

Speaker 1 Noah Gray's making big plays left and right. We got the run game.
We're getting downhill even without

Speaker 1 Trey Smith. And

Speaker 1 my guy Mike Caliendo stepped up again this week. And it's just

Speaker 1 fun to play

Speaker 1 on this offense with this many weapons, man. It's just a fucking blast.
And sure enough, we're scoring touchdowns, man. And that's where it really gets fun, man.

Speaker 1 When you're putting up seven points every time you touch the ball, man, fuck. It's a fun time.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, yeah, it was close in the first half, but both offenses were really rolling in the first half.

Speaker 1 I know you like Jaden was obviously missed out there, but Mariota played really good in the first half, especially.

Speaker 1 He only had like three incompletions, and one of them was the interception that bounced off of Debo's face mask. So

Speaker 1 it was a weird first half. Like you guys moved the ball really well.
Obviously, you had the two turnovers you mentioned, the play where it hit off your hands.

Speaker 1 They had a couple turnover on downs.

Speaker 1 But in the second half, you guys got it cleaned up, started finishing the drives off, right? And

Speaker 1 it is a, it's kind of, we talked about it before the game.

Speaker 1 The thing that's really carried the Chiefs the last couple of years has been the defense. Like, and then obviously you guys being able to execute in close games and in crucial moments.

Speaker 1 But the defense has kind of been the thing that's been really high level in Kansas City.

Speaker 1 Now the offense, it feels like you guys are playing better than you've played in like two or three years right now. Like you're really

Speaker 1 holistically, you're making big plays down the field. You're getting all the short pass.
I think Pat's like time to throw is is quicker than it's ever been in his career. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The offensive line is protecting so much better. The run game is going.
Like, it feels like every single facet of the offense is really operating at a high level.

Speaker 1 And we haven't seen that really in two or three years consistently like it is right now, I feel like. So it's kind of crazy to say.
I feel like the Chiefs right now

Speaker 1 might be better than they've been the last two years. I mean, I don't want to crown anything.
You guys went to two Super Bowls

Speaker 1 and it feels like somehow you guys got better. Right.
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know if it feels like that to you. The energy in the building feels a lot more electric.

Speaker 1 Like it feels like we're moving at a pace that we weren't moving at last year. And

Speaker 1 it's honestly because we're scoring touchdowns. I think when everybody's getting a piece of the pie like this, I mean,

Speaker 1 you know, there's a lot of focus on me and obviously Rashi and you got fastest, one of the fastest guys in the league, Xavier.

Speaker 1 And then Hollywood is a big play waiting to be made and then taekwondo taequon

Speaker 1 is out here making big plays early on so he's a threat and then all of a sudden juju's wide ass open in the middle of the field because you forgot about him and you know it's let's bring that up juju does so many little things that just do not get any credit ball player baby just a ball player man he's he's gonna he's he's he's a very good possession receiver he blocks his ass off oh yeah and on top of that like i know i don't want to bring up the whole like

Speaker 1 thing he gets in other people like he is the he's an instigator and it's good to have one of those guys out there like that's just the reality

Speaker 1 he's an instigator without like the intentions of instigator i shouldn't say instigator i should i should he's an agitator he's gonna get like riled up and get people out of playing their he's a showman he's a showman he loves to have fun he likes to he likes to do fun first down uh motions or whatever you call them like he's he he enjoys playing the game of football in the and at the highest level possible you know what i mean so yes and when you're doing that kind of stuff yeah it's gonna piss some guys off when you're having success man it's the best and it was an outstanding game the chiefs again building on it and you guys got a big task coming up this next week in buffalo short week uh but let's talk about some yeti records these are official official records trap

Speaker 1 with your catch With your touchdown catch in the third quarter, you're now tied with the franchise record for touchdowns, right? You and Priest Holmes are tied. Priest fucking Holmes, man.

Speaker 1 That's some pretty crazy stuff, dude. Because Priest Holmes, that was like the heart of our childhood and our fandom in the NFL, man.
And

Speaker 1 all the video games and everything. Like, Priest Holmes was, he was a guy that I was fucking playing other video games with left and right because how badass he was.
What's even wilder? I appreciate,

Speaker 1 I don't know who put this in there. We're probably, I don't know, we'll give Brinter Brent.
Whoever put this in there saying Holmes did it in four and a half seasons. How fucking crazy is that?

Speaker 1 Oh my God.

Speaker 1 He scored 83 touchdowns in four and a half seasons.

Speaker 1 That tells you how dominant Priest Holmes was for that steal. That dude was so doggy.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, bro, they were in two tight end sets and they were fucking handing that thing off to him, dude, left and right. They're like, bro, give Priest the fucking ball.

Speaker 1 Travis, you're second in receiving yards this season.

Speaker 1 You're 36. The other top five guys are 23, 24, 25, and 22 years old.

Speaker 1 Tyler Warren's having an incredible year.

Speaker 1 Tucker Kraft, did you watch that Green Bay game Sunday night? I watched that fucking guest sign. That is a fucking man amongst boys right there, baby.
Right? Tucker's a dog, man. I hear through

Speaker 1 a lot of the league and the time I spend with him at tight end you, man. He's just the fucking man.
He's all around. He's the epitome of a fucking tight end.
He's whatever you need, coach.

Speaker 1 I'm here to fucking get this thing done. And they leaned on him a lot in the past game this past Sunday night.
And, man, he was fucking rolling.

Speaker 1 Dude, not only was he, he had like, I don't know, he was just shy of like 150, I think. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but he was right around there.
He was one for him.

Speaker 1 And like all of them, none of them were like easy crossers wide open. Like he was catching, breaking tackles.

Speaker 1 The one big one he had, he had to moss fucking like two people to get up there and go get it. Like, bro, just a fucking dog.
It was a, it was a very impressive game from him. Just to ask.

Speaker 1 But yeah, Travis, you're, you're over a decade older than every other person on this list.

Speaker 1 Ah, damn, man. I feel younger than ever, too, man.
Fuck. Every single person on this list was born after Y2K.

Speaker 1 That's insane. They don't even know what Y2K is.
No, they don't. They don't.
They don't even know the world was about to happen. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They didn't know the fucking predicament that we were in with the computers and the new calendars. Water.

Speaker 1 We're in our basement.

Speaker 1 Because that's what we were going to lose. We were going to lose water.
listen we've made a critical malfunction water and toilet paper we were stocked that

Speaker 1 they don't even know they don't even know that's

Speaker 1 keeping me up at night when i was

Speaker 1 oh

Speaker 1 man most importantly we got your biggest fan i just love every time you do something the one guy who's guaranteed to fuck in, the one person who's guaranteed to shout you out is the one and only Henry Winkler.

Speaker 1 Let's go. Nice tweet.
Congratulations, T. Kelsey.
That's my guy. Nice, man.
That's my guy right there. And it wasn't just the Fonds.
We had a bunch of your teammates weighing in.

Speaker 1 Brashi Rice said, you know, I've seen a lot of spark out of Trav. It's never really gone.
He's a very patient player. Patience is not a word I'd usually describe you with.

Speaker 1 I've been learning patience now since I've been doing it. I learned that from Mr.
Miyagi. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now, Patrick Mahomes said this. He's just like the true Chiefs Chief.

Speaker 2 I mean, he is the guy that's been here through the whole thing, been here with Coach Reed the entire time. And he helped set the culture.

Speaker 2 You know, he helped set the culture of what it means and to play for Coach Reed and to play in Kansas City. And I was able to come in and have that guy to rely on.

Speaker 2 And so he's breaking all the records now. And I mean, he's all about the team.
So I want to make sure he gets that.

Speaker 2 Hopefully, we can get another football for him later in the season when he actually breaks the record.

Speaker 1 There we go. How does it feel to be the Chiefs' Chief? If anybody's the Chief, it's Andy Reed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, baby when it comes to when it comes to being one of his disciples and one of his

Speaker 1 his guys uh you know that's where the real honor comes in and obviously there's been so many fucking unbelievable players that come through kansas city and the the

Speaker 1 history is very rich and the prestige of you know players on and off the field here is is you know that's a legacy um and uh no it's just it's cool to hear uh old patty mahom say that there's an article in the athletic about the chiefs new three-letter slogan for this year aaf

Speaker 1 walk us through uh we're gonna walk us through the slogan slogans man yeah what's up i'll tell you what listen slow acronym team yeah big acronym big acronym team we got a few of them banf is another one that you guys haven't heard yet yeah banff is another badass motherfucker i think i know that one all right um

Speaker 1 maybe

Speaker 1 uh yeah the thing is is that that's why it's an acronym is so you know you can you can you can say it don't have to worry about getting fined there you go.

Speaker 1 It's, it's,

Speaker 1 sometimes you just got to throw an acronym together, a slogan together, and get the team, you know,

Speaker 1 all under one understanding of

Speaker 1 how we're about to go about our day. And I think Coach Nagy and the offensive staff, we came up with this in,

Speaker 1 I think, OTAs. Yeah.
And,

Speaker 1 you know, kind of like,

Speaker 1 wanted to make sure that everybody was on the same page on how we were going to get things done, how we were going to go to work every single day,

Speaker 1 the type of mindset that you need to have. And coaches come up with these slogans all the time, brother.
This isn't, as you know, this isn't the first slogan to ever

Speaker 1 sometimes it's the acronyms, then you got like hold the rope. I do like when it's more,

Speaker 1 I do like the feed the fire, fuel the fire, chop wood. Yeah, and then you just circle the wagons.

Speaker 1 There's a nice like little, like, when you have like a team motto, it's, and I think it comes from, I think, Navy SEALs and like military world where, like, you have like a one-word phrase, and it just, like, snaps people back into like locking in, right?

Speaker 1 And that's, like, what this is usually used for. I remember, do you remember ours in Cincinnati? Def Woo, baby.
D-E-F-W-U. Don't ever fuck with us.

Speaker 1 Look at that. That was a big

Speaker 1 Derek Wolf. Was that Derek Wolf or was that a big red thing with Zip?

Speaker 1 Remember?

Speaker 1 I don't know where it originated, but it was definitely that

Speaker 1 Eastern. Ohio Valley.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah. But yeah, that was a big one for us.
Yeah, that's

Speaker 1 the acronyms are always fun for sure. Especially if you get a good one.
Yeah, you get a good one, throw it on a t-shirt, everybody's fired up.

Speaker 1 And that's what it's about: everybody's bought in, everybody's saying it, everybody has that type of mentality.

Speaker 1 And when you get everybody to buy in, having fun with it, man, that's what it's there for, man. Not only are you guys AAF on offense, you're AAF on defense.

Speaker 1 The defense has only given up seven points in the last eight quarters, 24 points in the last three three games. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're getting it done, baby. They're rolling right now.
They were giving up some yards in that first half, but when players had to make a play, like there was Trent McDuffie had a tackle on like a,

Speaker 1 was it second and one where he just broke on a little rub route and just made a hell of a fucking play. Trent's a fucking dog, man.
Also, shout out to Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders.

Speaker 1 The other 36, was he 36, too? He's definitely year 13. I think he's 34, turning turning 35, maybe.
All right, a little bit younger. Yeah, he was a four-year college guy, four-year college guy.

Speaker 1 There you go. Yeah, Stanford.
Yeah, he might have been three, shit. Not just any college.
Yeah. Yeah.
Shout out to Zach Ertz.

Speaker 1 Join Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten, Travis Kelsey, Antonio Gates, and Shannon Sharp to become only the sixth tight end in NFL history with 800 career reception. Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 Me, obviously, everybody knows, everybody knows me and Ertz came in

Speaker 1 13 years,

Speaker 1 2013.

Speaker 1 And to see him still fucking doing it man we saw each other uh before and after it man and yeah i just cherish every fucking game i get to play with that guy man or get to compete against him man yeah absolutely i got a lot of great memories from zach got some hardware to share too anything uh we missed about the game chiefs

Speaker 1 no man we're rolling baby we're rolling we got a big one this week against buffalo uh on a short week man and uh the bills got rolling again this past week they were part of that some of those blowout games that we saw on sunday and they put up 40 is that right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, they can score with the best of them, baby. James Cook had like over 220, 30 yards, something like that.
Getting him the ball. Getting him the ball is pretty goddamn good.

Speaker 1 It's a good strategy. Good strategy, yeah.
So hopefully we can slow that down and keep putting up points like we've been putting up over the past couple weeks.

Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, WhatsApp. Halloween party planning hits different on WhatsApp.

Speaker 1 You know that moment someone sends a picture of some epic costume idea, but it's so blurry that you can't tell if it's a werewolf or they just haven't shaved.

Speaker 1 Regular texts, they compress those photos until your Frankenstein looks like a failed art project. And those group costume ideas might as well be communicating through a Ouija board.
But WhatsApp?

Speaker 1 Now we're talking. Every photo, every video comes through crystal clear.
HD, baby. Nice.

Speaker 1 Most memorable Halloween party. I just think college Halloween is the best.
Be honest with you. I mean, outside of kids going and trick-or-treating, like going to costume parties in college, electric.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's all I got. I don't even remember going to Halloween parties like that.

Speaker 1 All right, now let's get to the rest of the NFL this week, which was a bunch of fucking blowouts like Jason was mentioning earlier. Let's start with this one.

Speaker 1 That was, it wasn't necessarily a blowout, but it was pretty one-sided. It was a blowout.
Yeah, it was pretty one-sided. I feel comfortable saying that because the Giants already blew us out once.

Speaker 1 So we'll call it a blowout.

Speaker 1 Blow out the blowout. Eagles 38, Giants 20.

Speaker 1 Obviously, one of the biggest storylines of the NFL is Scataboo had a pretty aggressive ankle injury. Sending all the love to him.
Hopefully, he can get back, man.

Speaker 1 The NFL absolutely loves a motherfucker like that. Just a tough as nails dude.
Hopefully, he gets back in

Speaker 1 tip-top shape. Big Dom, Dom DeSandro, sent over some pizza and cheese steaks.
I mean, the guy got a standing ovation as he was getting carted off.

Speaker 1 Nobody wants to see one of the most loved players in the league get hurt like that.

Speaker 1 And obviously, what that guy has meant to football over the past couple of weeks has been pretty fucking fun to watch.

Speaker 1 So hopefully he gets back healthy and back to running dudes over and being the epitome of a fucking NFL football player, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, man, I think that you saw the Link can be brutal to opposing players and fans.

Speaker 1 Rival teams, yeah. I've seen the Link not handle opposing players getting injured.
well before. And I don't think it was intentional.

Speaker 1 Like I think they're just excited about a big hit or something happening. But it was so apparent how much respect everybody in the NFL has for this guy and how he plays the game.

Speaker 1 Like, he got a standing ovation getting off the field. Like, very excited to see the future that Cam Scatabu has in this league.

Speaker 1 And in such a short time to entrench yourself with that much respect in this league just shows. I try and tell young players this all the time.

Speaker 1 Like, players like, oh, the fans are on me about this, or, you know, I'm getting unfair criticism.

Speaker 1 Dude, if you just go out there and you play with reckless abandon you will get cheated like and i bring this story up all the time zach eartz got crushed for a week or whatever the first catch he had he went out there and he ran through like three people broke three tackles and the it was like being carried forward

Speaker 1 and you know what happened you know what the fans did they fucking erupted in cheers i don't want to hear like oh like they don't they're saying mean things like motherfucker you control it if you go out there with great energy and effort you will be loved in the sport of football That's one of the beautiful things about the sport.

Speaker 1 Yep. People love guys that just have relentless motors.
So that requires zero talent.

Speaker 1 That's just the reality of it. That's so spot on, man.
Well, get healthy, big guy. Enjoy those cheese steaks.
Dom dropped off. But let's get to this game.
Initial thoughts on the game, Jason?

Speaker 1 I mean, this is exactly what we've been waiting to see. I mean, we've known that the Eagles are talented and that if they can play up to what they're capable of, that they are a very dangerous team.

Speaker 1 And obviously, the Giants have been clicking. They've been playing well recently with Jackson Dart, Cam Scadabu, although he left early.
And I do think that that took some wind out of their sails.

Speaker 1 The Eagles are rolling right from the get-go. I mean, it started with what, the second play of the game with that Saquon Barkley, huge rushing touchdown.
It never stopped.

Speaker 1 I mean, we've been waiting to see the ground game get going. And a lot has been made about Jalen Hurts in the passing game.
And that started to get fixed the last couple weeks.

Speaker 1 But I don't think people really realize how much when you're running the ball well, it just makes everything go.

Speaker 1 Your play action passing is better. You're in less third and long situations.
You're at more third and manageable even when you get to them.

Speaker 1 And it just makes the rhythm so much better. And the Eagles ran the ball so freaking well.
Landon Dickerson is fine. It looks like he's fully healthy, and he's been there for the last couple weeks.

Speaker 1 Brett Toth was in for Cam Jugens being injured from last game. and he went in and played center in the Vikings game without any reps during the week.
And it wasn't the best outing, right?

Speaker 1 That's a tough situation to be thrown into, right? Like you work on guard and these other things all week, and all of a sudden you're live in the game doing the snaps. And he bounced back, man.

Speaker 1 There was a lot of criticism all week about the previous game and one of his games at guard. And he honestly was one of the best players up front for him throughout the day.

Speaker 1 He had a bunch of crucial blocks. He did well in the combinations.
He had a lot of fold schemes, pulling around, making blocks at the second level.

Speaker 1 And something else that I think doesn't ever really get talked, and I know this just because I know Brett, he puts the line in a really, he's going to make sure the calls are right.

Speaker 1 And that is such a big part of having a backup go in at center. Because if you're not all on the same page, it's not communicated well, it can like make everything fall apart.
Fuck it.

Speaker 1 And you could see that those guys were in sync and that everybody was on the same page.

Speaker 1 And that is, that's half of being successful in the run game, nine times out of, especially if you got great players, which

Speaker 1 bodies on bodies, baby. You could give a guy like Saquon a chance, man.
It's we're rolling. Brett, you got to give him his flowers.
And I know Philadelphia already is, had an outstanding game.

Speaker 1 Big Fred Johnson, a lot of six man offensive linemen in the game. You want to get the run game going?

Speaker 1 It always helps when you put a 6'10 fucking mutant of a human being out there to go pave some fucking run lanes over. And yeah, they, they just, they were outstanding all game.
Saquon had a day.

Speaker 1 Tank Bigsby was running the ball really well. They both went for 100, baby.
I mean, there were massive holes, but at the same time, they're also making guys miss, breaking tackles.

Speaker 1 The Eagles clearly were on a mission to establish the run all day. They've been waiting for this to happen.
You could tell they were energized to get it going, and they fucking delivered. like with

Speaker 1 some passion. It was an awesome game to watch for an offensive lineman's perspective.

Speaker 1 And then, of course, Jalen was and Devontae Smith in particular were spectacular with the play action.

Speaker 1 Don't forget my guy, Dallas, man. Dallas got in the zone twice, baby.

Speaker 1 I was talking to Mina Kimes in the production truck right before one of the games one time, and we were talking about the little RPO with the tight end sneaks off into the flat in like every red zone or short-yarded situation.

Speaker 1 And it's like, I don't know why we don't do this every time. Like, I don't think anybody ever covers it.
And then, sure enough, he gets a touchdown right off of that. And it's like, yep.

Speaker 1 So it was similar to you guys. The Eagles right now are rolling in every phase now.
This was what we've been waiting for. The running game hasn't clicked.

Speaker 1 This is a great establishing game for the Eagles ground game. Hopefully Saquon isn't too banged up and we can get him back after this bye week against Green Bay.

Speaker 1 But if the ground game is clicking like this, they have a great balance right now of Jalen going under center, doing play action.

Speaker 1 They're still, and then they're doing the RPOs at times, whether it's the fold schemes with Toth or the zone read options where you got Dallas in the flat, whatever it is, they're doing a great job with all of that.

Speaker 1 And then on top of that, Jalen's operating really well, throwing the ball down the field and getting explosive plays. So you could not have asked for a better game offensively.
Like you couldn't have.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So anyways.
Get them boys up front rolling, man. Let's go, Bubba.
And then what we didn't talk about is the touch push. A very controversial touch push.
Did you see it? Of course I did.

Speaker 1 It's a fumble. Like they missed it.

Speaker 1 I'm glad you said it. It's one of those, like, you got to fucking blow the whistle and say that his momentum stopped, or you got to call it a fumble.

Speaker 1 Well, I think that they were trying to blow the whistle, supposedly. I don't know the exact sequencing of it, but his forward momentum wasn't stopped, right?

Speaker 1 Like, listen, I know everybody wants to get on the tush push. Again, I don't see how this has anything to do with the tush-push.
Officials miss forward progress calls all the time. All the time.

Speaker 1 I know there's been a lot of noise around false starts and now this play, and I get it. And if the tush push truly is hard to officiate, that would certainly be a a reason to ban it.

Speaker 1 I'm not looking to make excuses. I just don't know how these little things have to do with the actual pushing of tushes.
Like, it'll still be an issue if the Eagles run quarterback sneak.

Speaker 1 Like, that's my one caveat to it. Like, if you allow offensive linemen to false start, they're going to do that whether there's people pushing the quarterback or not.

Speaker 1 If you stop forward progress, it wasn't like it wasn't visible. Like,

Speaker 1 it wasn't visible. The thing was, is that his legs weren't on the ground.
Right.

Speaker 1 So he was like, he can't can't go forward anymore other than he's being pushed. Right.
Which was like, is does that mean his momentum is still going?

Speaker 1 Because if it's momentum's still going, then that's gear. That's 100% a fumble.
I think his momentum was still going. I think the officials missed the call, but it happens all the time.

Speaker 1 I mean, there's this forward progress thing comes up every once in a while. Like, it's not like that unique.

Speaker 1 And I also like one of my favorite things about the whole thing is Giants fans being livid at the officials, tweeting at me. I'm like, y'all are getting your asses whipped.

Speaker 1 What the fuck are you talking about? The officials? Like, this ain't a one. one, like, this.
Yeah, like, I don't know what the hell you're talking about 200. What game are y'all watching?

Speaker 1 You, how about you?

Speaker 1 How about you yelling at your safety for not fucking tackling? What are we talking about the officials for?

Speaker 1 I was just like, I'm blown away. I was like, listen, you can complain about the officials when your team is kind of keeping it close, but when you're getting your ass whipped, let's

Speaker 1 be a little, yeah, let's, exactly, exactly. Well,

Speaker 1 uh, Kayvon Thibodeau gets asked about it after the game, and he says, sounds like some bullshit to me. And then Brian Burns quickly cautions him, hey, you'll get fine.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, sorry. Thibodeau said, sorry, sorry.
No, that was a great call by the ref. I mean, that was a great call by the ref.

Speaker 1 That'll save you a fine right there. Would you give him a nice compliment afterwards? Which I don't agree with.
Listen, I am, you know me. I do not like complaining about officials.
I've never have.

Speaker 1 That's not how I operate. I don't think that you should be fined.
I think that's bullshit, personally. Yeah, I can't give my opinion on what I thought about the call.
yeah what the is this it's the

Speaker 1 yeah it's a freedom of speech baby what the we doing right here no i got my i got my fine i don't think that you should be able to be fine for that i think that's nonsense and i am all for having the officials back usually but i mean listen it's it was a bad call like what do you want me to say i don't know moving on to some other things from week eight uh a lot of buns games this week i mean it's fun if you log if you if you wanted to watch the favorite just beat the ever-loving shit out of the underdog it was a great week for you um other than the one game other than the one game The spirit of Nick Mangold got this one done.

Speaker 1 I really do like it.

Speaker 1 Dude, the Jets winless, like there's no hope that they're going to win a game all season. They can't.
They got no momentum happening. And like, obviously, it's been talked about.
Nick Mangold passing.

Speaker 1 He's been struggling with the

Speaker 1 genetic disorder and needed a new kidney.

Speaker 1 And you want to talk about one of the stalwart, like

Speaker 1 best offensive linemen to ever play the game. Oh, yeah.
And I know I get credit a lot for being

Speaker 1 a lot of people come up and tell me, like, you're the best center to ever play. Like, I get that from other people.

Speaker 1 And it's hard to receive that because I know in my heart that Nick Mangold at his best was 10 times a player than I ever was. Like, I could never be that dominant at the center position.

Speaker 1 Nick was phenomenal. He was unbelievable in pass protection.
He was an unbelievably smart leader and getting those guys on the same page. And he would murder people in the red game.

Speaker 1 He was unbelievable when he was in the NFL. He was unbelievable at Ohio State.
Yeah, he was. He's just a stud in every fashion.
And I mean, it's just a travesty that's happened at such a young age.

Speaker 1 He's got a whole fucking family.

Speaker 1 And he's just one of the most, like, when you think about offensive linemen over the past two decades, like the best of the best, you don't look any further than Nick Mangled.

Speaker 1 I just think it's really fitting that on the day this whole thing happens, that the Jets go out there and pull off. the upset and beat the Bangles.

Speaker 1 It had me rooting for him, man, and not because it was against the Bengals, just because of, you know,

Speaker 1 what had went down with

Speaker 1 Mangled. And it's crazy how it all came down to them having to score a touchdown at the end.
And they go with the halfback pass. And it wasn't like

Speaker 1 a catch, and everybody

Speaker 1 sucks the defense in. And there was like a way to- They're like, no, this is our best chance to throw the ball.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 it's gloved.

Speaker 1 It doesn't work. It's gloved.
And he says, you know what?

Speaker 1 Game on the line.

Speaker 1 Here we go.

Speaker 1 Oh, the old toss. Oh, it was.
It was open. He was just late on it.
Yeah. Oh,

Speaker 1 for Mason Taylor, baby. Let's go.
Oh, man. I don't know if that's his first touchdown, man, but that's a pretty electric first touchdown.
If it is, sealed the deal.

Speaker 1 Well, I think there's only one thing to do, Trav. We got to bring in the one man who's been waiting for this all season.

Speaker 1 Jets Jake, please take your victory lap. Come on in.
Let's fucking go.

Speaker 1 Let's go.

Speaker 1 This is what the NFL is made of, just dreams. Cracks the beer.
Did you crack a beer? What did you do over there? The Miami Dolphins,

Speaker 1 when a team loses and they keep their undefeated streak, they pop champagne. I'm drinking garage beers, boys.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 Let's go. 1-0 since we had the tattoo guy on the show.
Let's do it. 1-0.
1-0. Bring him back on.
Bring Kaysen back on. Bring him on every week.
Bring him on every week. Another tattoo.

Speaker 1 We got the buy this. We got

Speaker 1 to get a sleeve full of Jets tattoos.

Speaker 1 Let's go. A sleeve full of Jake tattoos.

Speaker 1 I can't endorse that. But

Speaker 1 when Brees Hall threw the ball, what was going on in your mind? I thought he was throwing it away. I was like, no, no, no, no.
It was the biggest no, no, no, no, yes play of all time.

Speaker 1 And then even still, I was like, well, there's too much time left for Joe Flacco. They're going to come down the field.
They're going to kick a field goal.

Speaker 1 And that fourth and nine, like my heart was racing. And then they fucking did it.
They had one stop when they needed to get it. The Jets got to fucking win.
I don't have to hobby horse into the ocean.

Speaker 1 I'm very grateful.

Speaker 1 Hilarious. Congratulations, Jake.
Congratulations, all of you Jets fans. And yeah, we got to get Casey Barrett back on the show, I guess.
Go enjoy those garages, dude. I got to clean up my room.

Speaker 1 Finish those beers first. Cleaning is always better when you've finished your beers first.
Yeah. All righty.
It was also Travis's favorite holiday, National Tight End Day. I mean, a bunch of blowouts.

Speaker 1 Tight ends are getting the fucking ball. A bunch of blowouts.
What do you expect? Dallas Goddard, two touchdowns. George Kittle got in the end zone.
Hunter Henry got in the end zone.

Speaker 1 David Njoku got in the end zone. Jake got in the end zone.
Harold Fannin Jr. got in the end zone.
Charlie Kohler got in the end zone. Mason Taylor got in the end zone.
National Tight End Day MVP.

Speaker 1 Tucker Kraft. 143 yards and and two touchdowns.
What a fucking day. Trav, were you bummed to not be able to play on the national tight end day this year? I mean, you still had a great day, too.

Speaker 1 No, I was enjoying sitting down watching National Tight End Day. Nice.
Should it be National Tight End Week? No. Thank God.
You said no to that. All right.

Speaker 1 We can move on from that now. Jonathan Taylor, MVP watch, man.
This guy is fucking on fire. You forget how fast this son of a buck is, man.
Dude, we hit that. Oh my gosh.
What is it? The 80-yarder?

Speaker 1 Dude, holy shit. Him and Gibbs from the Lions, dude.
Those two, when they get the fucking open field, bye-bye.

Speaker 1 The 80-yard touchdown he had, I want to like yell at the safety for taking a bad angle, but I don't like it. He goes from like whatever he's doing to like top end speed so quickly.

Speaker 1 Like, it's like, I don't even how you fucking see that coming. It's like the 200 turn in a, in a, in a track meet.
It's like the 200.

Speaker 1 You're like, he just hits that fucking turn and just watch the safety right here. Like, he just,

Speaker 1 how is he fucking like he's tightroping it while running 211 miles an hour. He's running away from guys like this, dude.
It's insane. Unbelievable, man.

Speaker 1 Guy's a fucking special breed, and he's got the fucking Colts rolling right now. Everybody's got the Colts.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. 14 touches this past week, 174 yards, two tutties, one receiving TD,

Speaker 1 all against the division rival Titans. Yeah, no, he's fucking balling out, and it's not even just him.
I mean, their entire offense is playing well. Obviously, Daniel Jones is.

Speaker 1 I got to give some love to the big guys up front. Big Quinn and Nelson has been a staple there for his entire career.
He is having an outstanding year. They had the new center in there, Bordellini.

Speaker 1 They lose Ryan Kelly. You're wondering how he's going to do.
He's playing unbelievable. Their tackles are great.
And Bernard Raymond, and I think it's Brayden Smith.

Speaker 1 And then Gonsalves, the other guard. I mean, they're all playing so well as a unit.
They're getting it done, man.

Speaker 1 And dude, you just got to give this guy a little bit of space and he can just turn anything into a

Speaker 1 fucking highlight.

Speaker 1 He's making shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There was a play, I think there was like a screenshot somebody put up on Twitter where it was like the debate of whether a normal, like an average person can get one yard.

Speaker 1 And the fucking hole that is created is just

Speaker 1 gigantic.

Speaker 1 There it is. If it's that, then yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You can get a yard there, probably.

Speaker 1 JQ can get in there. It's going to close quick, though, so I would hurry.

Speaker 1 You got to have what he has to get the rushing triple crown, which he's on pace to get for the second time if he keeps us up. But

Speaker 1 you could probably get a yard. Yeah.
Yep. Well, that does it for week eight Bolt Topics brought to you by Gillette.

Speaker 1 All right, let's move into Stamp of the Week, brought to you by Audible. Let's think about some nominees.
Who do we got? We got Chargers rookie.

Speaker 1 Who fucking put the mafia in the back of the back of the news due to the

Speaker 1 that's fucking hilarious? That's fucking sick. Back of the news due to the it was a wild fucking press conference.
Hey, we have an illegal gambling sting. We have Chauncey Billips, Rozier,

Speaker 1 as well as the Lucchese Gambino and Genovese family. Dog,

Speaker 1 I thought we went legit. I thought that was the whole point of casinos.
I thought that

Speaker 1 it's gone the other way. Dude, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 Doug, that was.

Speaker 1 It's just... It's crazy.
It's crazy to be back in those times. Yeah, it's like a flashback to Goodfellas.

Speaker 1 I am going to do this one. I'm going to go to to Miles Garrett because I did

Speaker 1 Jonathan Taylor for the Hemi on Monday night and swag did Miles Garrett and Miles didn't win. So I'm going to give Miles the stamp here.
He's just the best defensive player in the NFL.

Speaker 1 And it was very evident in the Patriots Browns game this past week. Five sacks in one game.
Set the record for most sacks by a player under 30. He is the biggest freak of nature.

Speaker 1 He was relentlessly getting pressure on Drake May, which is why I'm also going to kind of give a stamp. I think there's another stamp of the week that needs to be given to Drake May.

Speaker 1 Drake May has been playing unbelievable, and to go out there and still have the game he had while Miles Garrett was beating the shit out of him is extremely impressive.

Speaker 1 This guy,

Speaker 1 this guy's got Freddy Krueger fucking following him everywhere around the field, man. He's just unfazed.
Drake May's legit. He's fucking awesome.
And Miles Garrett's legit, but we already knew that.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, who are you going with, Trav? What's this Zach Frazier for holding on to the ball when they thought he was... Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, once you put your hand down on the ball, you can't take it off. Fuck.
That's funny. He's like, can I get up?

Speaker 1 So for those of you that don't know, once you put your hand on the ball, you can't take your hand off of the ball. Otherwise, it's a false start.

Speaker 1 So if because he thought it was no huddle and he got up there to do the snap.

Speaker 1 He had to stay down in that position. That's too fucking funny.
That won't get you the stamp of the week, but heads up play. I'll give my stamp to Carson Wentz, man.

Speaker 1 He didn't have the hell of a game, but god damn it. The guy's fucking a ball player.
He's a warrior, man. He's a warrior.
Played the last two and a half games for the Vikings with a torn labrum.

Speaker 1 And check this out. A fractured socket.
Socket? And man,

We're going with the Dachshund? Yeah, I'm going with Dachshund. That's cool.

Speaker 1 Congratulations to the woman with the finger dachshund with a ring on it and a fingernail head. That was a great costume idea.
Very creative. Looks to be homemade.
Well done.

Speaker 1 We don't know what your prize is yet. We don't even know what your name is, but we'll figure it out.
We've also got some Halloween voicemails. Love a little voicemail section.

Speaker 1 Who doesn't love voicemails? Hearing from the fans. 92%ers.
What do we got?

Speaker 4 Hey, fellas, fellas, fellas.

Speaker 4 We got Halloween coming up.

Speaker 4 And I'm not a guy that really dresses up. I grew up with brothers.
We had to do family costumes growing up.

Speaker 4 I bet you guys probably did some thing one and thing two or bulking skull from the Power Rangers. You know what I'm saying? But

Speaker 4 for us gentlemen now in our 30s. And we got girls that want to go dress.

Speaker 4 What are you guys flying with? What are some ideas that are going to keep us looking good and feeling good?

Speaker 1 I'm dressed up, looking stupid.

Speaker 1 Nice. All right, now this guy might have been hammered.
I like this guy. Yeah, I liked everything about that call.
That was good. Just when you thought it was over, it wasn't.

Speaker 1 I'm all about looking stupid at this point. Right? I don't like.
Stupider, the better. Yeah, dressing up on Halloween to be cool is like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I have more fun with it when it's like, oh, I can laugh at this costume because of how obnoxious or how silly it is.

Speaker 1 Anything nostalgic to the 80s or 90s, if you're in your 30s is going to hit really well.

Speaker 1 Andy Reid is always a good option. I don't know.
I mean, there's a lot of different ways you can go about it. I will say

Speaker 1 for me, my costumes now are just essentially what my kids want to wear. Like I'm Christoph this year just because that's what Ellie and Y and Benny, they're all going as Elsa.
So.

Speaker 1 Nice. I'm Christoph.
I don't want to reveal Kylie's costume because that'll get revealed later this week, but it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 So I feel like in your 30s, once you start having kids, like you don't even get to choose anymore. You just are

Speaker 1 whatever the kids are. You get lumped in with your kids.

Speaker 1 I'm a big sucker for just going up to the Halloween store and just getting the stupidest fucking costume that's already. It's, I forget the brand, but they just come in like those like orange screens.

Speaker 1 I know exactly what you're talking about. Yep.
Yep. And just go get the fucking dumbest one.
So yeah, just go, just go be dumb.

Speaker 1 There's few things where it's socially acceptable to be dumb and Halloween is one of them. So go be dumb.

Speaker 1 What's this next one? Best childhood costume? Sounds pretty self-explanatory.

Speaker 5 Hey, Jason. Hey, Travis.

Speaker 5 My name is Haley, and I am also from Ohio. My question is,

Speaker 5 what were you

Speaker 5 guys's Halloween costumes growing up? Did your mom ever make your guys' Halloween costumes, or were you guys the ones that bought your Halloween costumes online?

Speaker 5 And if so,

Speaker 5 what was the favorite Halloween costume you guys had as a kid?

Speaker 1 Thanks, guys. Well,

Speaker 1 first off, when we were kids, there was no online shop. I was about to say, we knew

Speaker 1 when we were trigger-treating, like dial-up had just started.

Speaker 1 You weren't fucking buying shit online. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I feel like we always went to like a Halloween store, a costume store, and grabbed something. I feel like one time mom did the like sheet cut the eyes out ghost thing.

Speaker 1 I don't know why that rings a bell, but yeah, usually we went, we had like the costume store or the Halloween store. One year we had like the fake blood and stuff like that, and we were using that.

Speaker 1 That was fun. We were Ninja Turtles the one year.

Speaker 1 What was our best costume?

Speaker 1 Power Rangers. We were Super Mario Brothers in high school, but that was not for trick-or-treating.
I was a football player and a baseball player probably 90% of the time.

Speaker 1 We stopped trick-or-treating very young. Dad did not condone teenagers trick-or-treating in our house.

Speaker 1 Once you hit the teens. It doesn't mean I wasn't out and about being a fucking little shithead.
That's fair. That's fair.
Well, we would hide in the leaves and scare everybody. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Scaring everybody, jumping out of the leaves.

Speaker 1 That was my dad's

Speaker 1 version of teenage Halloween fun. Dad just likes scaring people.
He does. He was a big

Speaker 1 and as a current dad, I concur. Like, scaring kids is important.

Speaker 1 I firmly believe that. Making a kid cry.

Speaker 1 I mean, it doesn't have to cry. It could just be like a little, huh? Like, I think it's a, it's a good thing to do these days.
Uh,

Speaker 1 mom apparently has sent in some childhood picks. Did you know this, Travis? Of course I didn't.
Yeah, me neither. And I saw this in the rundown, and Brandon and Jake would not give me the lowdowns.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, let's take a look at some of these. Oh,

Speaker 1 my God. Look at that pirate.
Dude, that's a fucking.

Speaker 1 That was a football or baseball player. Yep.

Speaker 1 Bernie Cozar over there. What else have we got?

Speaker 1 Is that you? No, that's you, dude. What? That's me? That's you.
The fuck am I? What is this? I mean, it's obviously...

Speaker 1 No, it's got to be some type of...

Speaker 1 Some sort. It's got to be a dragon, right? That's a fire-breathing dragon.
That makes sense. That makes sense.
It's got like the long...

Speaker 1 tail-ish thing. Nice.
Spider-Man, Batman. Yep, that makes sense.
Look at those guys.

Speaker 1 I don't have anything cool to do as Batman. All right.
That was not a Halloween costume. It was like pajamas.
We didn't go trick-or-treat in there, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think we were just chilling.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I think mom would probably have.
She would have known. Well, I guess, I think the socks, no socks, shoes on.
Just say those were our pajamas. Right.
Bernie, again,

Speaker 1 multiple years. Yeah, I think that's just.

Speaker 1 I just want to wear my helmet. Every day, yeah.
I think that was like my everyday get home from preschool and

Speaker 1 throw my football uniform on. All right, what do we got next? Ah, this is the older one from high school.
Super Mario Brothers. You can see one brother is way more into it than the other brother.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, one brother got forced to be Mario.

Speaker 1 You look great, though. Dude, you're crushing it.
You're fucking crushing it. I think I ended up winning that fucking Halloween costume.
What do you mean? Contest. What cost us?

Speaker 1 I think you made us dress up so that we could enter the contest, the Halloween contest. What cost? I don't remember this.
There was a contest? A Halloween contest? Yes. I don't remember that.

Speaker 1 So you made, in your mind, you just made me dress up as Luigi. I thought we were just having fun.
Just having fun. All right.

Speaker 1 Well, congratulations on winning the Halloween costume contest of high children that you made me dress up as. I just knew you had potential.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was going around screaming Luigi and fucking jumping off walls and shit.

Speaker 1 You were just posing like this. What is Luigi's? Because Mario is, it's me, Mario.
I would just say that all day. What were you saying is Luigi? What's Luigi's catchphrase?

Speaker 1 No wonder you fucking won. That was dirt.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Just. Nothing but automatopia.

Speaker 1 Exactly. That's a rep.
Happy Halloween to all United Tupacenters. Thank you for sending your costumes New Heights Centered or Travis Kelsey Universe Centered.
Also, go scare some kids.

Speaker 1 Go scare some fucking kids. In the spirit of the holiday, scare the shit out of some children.
Make them happy by giving them candy. Scare your wife, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm going to scare the fuck out of Kylie.

Speaker 1 Are you going to rap too or no?

Speaker 1 You know, I can't rap. Yeah, me neither.
That'd be cool. Man, what a skill.
There's no way people that are freestyling are truly doing that on the spot. That's all like pre-processing.

Speaker 1 That's not freestyling. No.
I don't believe that. What?

Speaker 1 No, those guys have put those words in their head and they've thought about these concepts.

Speaker 1 And then when they go crazy at freestyling, Eric Berry, I'm telling you, it was one of the most impressive things ever. He would sit on the plane.

Speaker 1 Because he's sitting at night thinking about this stuff. And then he's like, oh, next time I go freestyle, I'm just going to unleash.

Speaker 1 On the spot, talk about people's like shoes and outfits. Yeah, but he's already pre-planned these bits, Trips.
I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 I understand how the human brain works. He's got these things pre-planned, and then he's like, okay, this is the shoe thing.
It's in this catalog. This is if the guy's got a big forehead.

Speaker 1 It's in that catalog.

Speaker 1 And then a minor. All right.

Speaker 1 I had a minor.

Speaker 1 You did not have a minor in psychology, did you? Yes. All right.
What's the id?

Speaker 1 The id?

Speaker 1 The id.

Speaker 1 The id is the, the, the, I don't fucking know.

Speaker 1 I don't remember either. I just remember there's the id, the ego, and uh, there's another third one.
Oh, the ego. The superego or something like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. You're funny as fuck fuck today.
Mom and dad. Mom and mom.
Dad and dad. Whatever.
Parents. Are you about to spend five hours in the car with your beloved kids this holiday season?

Speaker 1 Driving to old Granny's house. I'm setting the scene.
I'm picturing screaming, fighting, back-to-back hours of the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack on repeat.

Speaker 1 Well, when your ears start to bleed, I have the perfect thing to keep you from rolling out of that moving vehicle. Something for the whole family.
He's filled with laughs. He's filled with rage.

Speaker 1 The OG Green Grunt, give it up for me, James Austin Johnson, as the Grinch.

Speaker 1 And like any insufferable influencer these days, I'm bringing my crew of lesser talented friends along for the ride with A-list guests like Gronk, Mark Hamill, and the Jonas Brothers, whoever they are.

Speaker 1 There's a little bit of something for everyone. Listen to Tis the Grinch Holiday Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.
