Chiefs' Streak Ends, Mahomes Injury, Rivers Reactions, Eagles Blowout & Playoff Predictions | EP 170

This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan, real United Airlines customers.

We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew. I got to sit in the driver's seat.

I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot.
These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever.
That's how good leads the way.

Wait, so Reese's color is orange, and the Oreo cookie was invented in 1912.

This one's been in the vault waiting for its moment.

Reese's Oreo. The biggest drop since, well.

Thank you to our partner Intuit TurboText. Hey now, you know what's worse than thinking about holiday season being over? Hmm, what's up? Thinking about tax season beginning right around the corner.

So true. Instead of relaxing, you're stuck digging through a mountain of receipts, wrestling with confusing forms, and losing precious weekend hours.
That sounds so miserable. It is.

But listen, TurboTax is making it easier than ever before. So you don't have to stress about doing taxes on your own.

How about that? Take the stress out of taxes and look to the experts. Into a turbo tax.
Now, this is taxes. What other retired player should get back out there? I was thinking about this.

Who else would be?

I mean, I know a guy still trying to prove his athleticism and trying to dunk. Travis, I can't bend my elbow right now.

I can't even touch my head right now because I got a loose body stuck in my f ⁇ ing elbow joint. Well, go and get that shit cleaned out, Jason.
I'm trying to avoid surgery, Travis.

Are we not rehabbing? There's not a rehab. There's just a piece of cartilage that's floating around in there, and it's stuck in my joint.
Oh, well, yeah. Jason, you got to go and get that cleaned out.

It's like stuck somewhere. I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving.

I don't know. Anyway, it's not going to be me.

Before we get into that, we're going to get into some new news new news new news is brought to you by reese's trees oh we're in the holiday season aren't we the reese's holiday treats are the best we've always said it whether it's pumpkins or trees or

sure they got some type of bunny thing going on that's uh oh the eggs

Reese's trees better than Reese's pumpkins? Is that the question you're asking, Brandon? It looks like it.

I mean, honestly, I think it's pretty similar. It's definitely similar to the pumpkin in the fact that they both have more peanut butter to chocolate ratio, which I enjoy.

So I think it's probably about the same, if I'm being honest. Going even.
I'm going even. Well, we got a lot of new heights coming your way for the holidays.

This Friday, we're going to be dropping our film clump review of Home Alone with an incredible special guest.

That's right. The one and only Kyle Kelsey.

Not going to lie, is only

in for the Home Alone guest episode. And next Monday, we got a great guest episode coming out.
First guest we've ever had on the podcast. Well, he's back.
Paul Rudd, everyone. Paul Rudd is back.

How about it, man? Kai and then Paul. God damn, keeping it in the family, baby.
And next Wednesday, we'll release the New Heights Holiday Spectacular.

We'll have the first ever New Heights Secret Santa. Unbox some stuff sent to us from the 92%.

How about that?

She's also going to be giving us some official shopping guides for dudes who can't shop good. Oh, that was classic.
I actually might need to re-watch that.

Jason, you are a great shopper.

Never been. Never been.
Please enjoy the holidays with your family and also a lot of New Heights. That wraps up new news brought to you by Reese's Trees.

And since it's the holiday season, I'm going to say the Reese Reese's trees are a little bit better than the pumpkins.

All right, now let's get to some bold topics to wrap up week 15 in the NFL and unfortunately wrap up our playoff hopes. Chiefs 13, Chargers 16.
What are your thoughts following the game?

Well, first things first, obviously, we lost our

We lost our quarterback, man. Patty Mahomes, our guy, our brother,

our fearless leader, our face of the franchise, and to an ACL. And it's just it's never easy seeing your guys go down.
We had a bunch of guys get hurt this past game, and um, and we fought, man.

We fought. We had we had some guys fight through some stuff.
We had some guys unfortunately not make it back out on the field. And

for the season to be going like it did

up to that point, and we're on our last, you know, quest to try and keep our playoff hopes alive there in the fourth quarter. And

on a freakish play to see one-five go down like that, man, it fucking it

was almost like it was

it wasn't real. And

shit just sucks, man. Um, for a guy that puts in that much and um puts his body on the line week in, week out, and and you know,

makes this football world, uh, he makes the best of it, man, by how hard he works. And it just, it sucks, man.

And then obviously, we, we had some momentum going there with our guy, Garter Minshew, man, and uh, tried to find a way there at the end.

And it's just, uh, things just didn't go our way up to that point. And

yeah, and

that's the game for you right there. It's just things just, you know, when you need them the most, just weren't falling for us.
And you got to go back to the drawing board, man. And

we got three games left. I know we're still talking about this game, but the integrity of who you are as a professional, as a player.

You got to love this shit, man. And

Chiefs Kanan, we're going to give you everything we got.

There's no question about that. There's only one way I do things.
There's only one way Coach Reed does things.

And if we're going to go out there and play some football, we're going to do it the right way and keep trying to get these things fixed and end on

the highest note that we can. Well, for the first time since 2014, the Chiefs are eliminated from the postseason, which is an outrageous stat.

Over a decade of postseason play for the Kansas City Chiefs. I was thinking about this the other day.
What was crazy being at the game?

I don't think I've ever been in that stadium with you guys out of the picture in the regular season. No, you haven't.
Definitely not 2013. 2014 was the only, my first year.

I should have been the only one, but I don't.

And there was only one game where we needed some things to happen and it didn't happen. And then we played the last game with our guy, Chase Daniels.
Ah, Slanger. Shut up.
Yeah. So it's just wild.

I mean, it was wild being there.

You know, and I feel like it wasn't. And

it was a crazy, completely different year. That year, we didn't have any wide receiver score touchdown.
Right. As crazy as that.

This year, we're,

you know, numbers wise, we're, we're up there with some of the top offenses and depending on what category you're looking at. But

just critical moments, man.

All the games we've lost were one-scored games, man. We were in it right there to the end.
Yeah, one and seven and one-score games.

Even that game, up until the very last pick, I feel like you guys were going to, in my head, I'm like, oh, they're going to find a way to get it done. And it's just because it felt like that, man.

You guys have just done it so much. So that's why when 1.5 went down, I was like, no way, this is what happens.

Right?

Yeah. I guess, how do you approach the rest of the season? You talked about it a little bit.
We're going to go out there and battle together.

It's kind of unfamiliar territory at this point for a lot of guys in the building.

The guys that have been there, and I'm the only one that's been on the team long enough to see us not make the playoffs or to play a game that, you know, you

there's not indications you're furthering the season. Yeah.

and uh, you know, it's obviously fucked up, but uh, but it's it's a new feeling. So, all I know is to go out there and play my ass off and

to show up and, you know, give my guys the best chance to win. And

I think that's that's the mentality, man. There's an integrity thing here that when you sign up for the gig,

you're living out your dreams. You're living out a kid's dream that never got a chance to do this.
You're living out,

you know,

man.

Yeah.

You're playing this game, obviously, to win Super Bowls. You're playing this game to be in those playoff scenarios and stuff.
But at the end of the day, man,

you're playing in the NFL. Yeah.

And that's a fucking blessing. That's an honor.
It's an honor to be out there. It's an honor to feel the soreness after a game because you're actually out there.
You're fucking doing it. Yeah.

You're living your dream. And no matter if you're getting the fucking ball thrown to you, no matter if

you're blocking your tail off and you never, see the pill.

It's an honor to be out there in a uniform playing for the guys around you, playing for your family, playing for the people back home that are watching you, that have known you since you were a little kid, dreaming about this moment

or dreaming about these moments being in the NFL.

And I'll tell you what, man, if...

If there's a game to be had, baby, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to love fucking playing in it.

No matter if it's a game that uh in the playoffs or gets us in the playoffs or a game that you know seems like it doesn't have any implications of that. So, no doubt.
Well said, Trev.

And that's the integrity you got to you got to fucking go out there with, man. For sure.

Yeah, the other thing I always think about whenever I played in games like this or seasons that have gone south, you know, even in the years where everything doesn't work out, you still have like a team.

You're still close with guys. And I always thought, similar to what you're saying, Trav, like we only got three weeks left of this year's team to play football.

Like, next year, it's going to look different, right? Guys are going to be back. Guys aren't going to be back.

No two years are the same. And you try to enjoy those

few weeks that you know you have together. And, yeah, obviously the big thing looming is not only you guys out of the playoffs, but Patrick Mahomes tears his ACL in December.

Usually that's an eight to nine month injury recovery. I've been through it myself.
It's a rough one. You hate to see it end that way.
You know what I mean?

It was just a devastating, like, kind of final moment there. And Gardner went out there and battled his ass off.
Oh, no, you know, you know, Gardner's going to do that, baby.

That's just, that's all that's how he's built, man. And we're going to fucking fight for him from here on out and then go out there and try and win some ball games with my guy, G.

And obviously, it came out that the surgery went well. And, I mean, he's, he's a warrior, man.
I'm telling you, this guy's played through everything.

battled through everything,

has

been crowned champion because he's battled through everything. And he's he's going to battle through this.
It's the only way this guy is wired, man.

He's a fearless, fearless warrior when it comes to this football thing, and he's going to make sure that he comes back stronger than ever. And,

you know, hopefully the Chiefs can get him back as soon as possible. I know right now it's kind of right around that week one or the beginning of the season next year.

So I know he's going to be doing everything he can to get back out on that field for the Chiefs as soon as possible, man. I love it, it, brother.

You guys are headed to Tennessee to face the 2-12 Titans. Yeah, man, we got the Titans.
And the Titans, as their record may show, they've only won two games, but, man, they're fucking playing hard.

Hell yeah, brother. And they got guys on that defensive line that can wreck a game.
Obviously, Jeffrey Simmons has been doing it for a while now, man.

A big old mean dude up front.

We're going to have to find ways to be able to slow him down and make our guy Gardner get comfortable back there.

And from there, it's just mastering the game plan and getting out there and getting after it, man. We do have this mic'd up video of you and Derwin, who had the game ceiling interception.

Let's take a look at this.

Give me this.

Give it a second. You already know.

Keep leading them, man. This is cool to see you transpiring.
No, bro, you already know. California, baby.
The best one.

Come on. Do your thing, baby.

We've had so many battles, man. What a great dude, man.
Just plays the game the right way. The attitude, the physicality, the toughness.
I love it when, you know,

you can get after somebody on the football field. They can fucking pick you up and body slam you, and there's no bad blood.

There's just a bunch of respect for how they carry themselves and go at it. And obviously, Derwin's one of the fucking best to ever do it, man.
And so it was an honor to swap jerseys with him.

And the honor to share the fucking gridiron with him, man. I'm a guy that I fucking love this game, man.

I love it when I get to go being another guy that I watch on film. I'm like, that guy fucking plays this game the right way.

And he got me on a few this past game. It's cool that he came up and said all that, man.
I wish him the best of luck the rest of the year, man. The question is, have you sent them the jersey yet?

Yeah. Yeah, I shot it over to him.
Oh, nice. There you go.
I still owe a few guys jerseys. So you still owe me a jersey, Jason.
Do I? I feel like you have a jersey of mine.

I've stole like three jerseys from your house just laying around. So I might have stole somebody else's that you were meant to get out to them.
Dude,

I had like a mad dash of getting jerseys out to other guys late nights. Just start a note.
Just start in notes of like reminding yourself. I don't remember the guys now at this point.

But you'll remember them when you see them. You'll be like, oh shit, I was supposed to get that guy jersey.
Just write it down. There's two guys like I know.

I already sent them jerseys, but I never got confirmation they got them. I hope they got them.
My bare cats, I played in India. I haven't gotten the jerseys over to them yet.
Ah, sauce.

Alec Pierce. Yeah, our guy, Alec Pierce.
Did he's a stud. I know.
Let's Let's keep this thing moving, man. Shout out to the Chargers, our guy, Jesse Minner, Coach Minter, I should say.

He's got those guys rolling. Obviously, I respect the hell out of Harbaugh and what they've been able to keep doing over there, man.
And wish them the best of luck.

Thank you to our sponsor, All State. You know what's smart?

What? Checking All State First for a quote that could save you hundreds on car insurance. You know what's not smart?

Not checking All State First for a quote that could save you hundreds on car insurance. That is also not smart, but not checking your fantasy lineup before kickoff.

Yeah, seeing a player with 40 points and realizing they're on your bench. Yep.
Not a good feeling. Not a good feeling.
Yeah, checking first is smart.

So check All State First for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with All State.

All-state North American Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois.

It's time to thank our partner. Who's that? Reese's.

Or Reese's, however you like to call it. I'm pretty sure they would like us to say Reese's.
So we're going to say Reese's and their perfect holiday companion. They're Reese's trees.

Ooh, they are so good. Nothing says the holiday like Reese's perfect peanut butter stuffed chocolate trees.
They might be the best holiday candy ever.

It's up for debate. Every holiday tradition is better when you add Reese's trees.
Holiday movies? Yeah, I mean, those go definitely better with Reese's trees. Ugly sweater parties.

I mean, mean, who doesn't like chocolate stains all over their ugly sweater?

I do. Skipping the ugly sweater party to watch football in your sweats instead? I mean, that's a no-brainer.
Of course.

I mean, you throw on that ugly sweater anyways. Yeah.
So celebrate the season with peanut butter perfection and be sure to grab Reese's trees today.

Jason, why don't you tell him where to get them from? Well, it's found wherever candy is sold. Literally.
You can find it everywhere.

I think I called you Jason.

Jason. Jason.

Thank you to our sponsor, Amazon.

Jason,

you done all your holiday shopping yet? Still going. I have started it.
I got some of it going. I'm right there with you.
Amazon is definitely one of the go-tos, especially. I mean, dude, it's just.

It's got everything. Yeah, the shipping is taking

a big account. It's right on the app.
There's such a huge selection. Oh, it's the best.
Yeah. No No question.
You can literally get anything and everything.

It's to the point where it's inconvenient to order things that aren't on Amazon. Like, why aren't you got it just on Amazon? Dude, it's so good, dude.
It's so good.

Amazon is the go-to destination for all your holiday gift shopping, whether you're shopping for a wild white elephant party or a work party or family holiday party. Amazon has got you covered.

They have gifts for every holiday and for everyone on your list. So shop holiday gifts for everyone on Amazon.
Good luck, Trav.

Want to move on to some of the other things that happened this past week? Yeah, let's talk a little Raiders-Eagles. It's good.

Man, so far, New Heights has played the Raiders pretty well. That's right.
They haven't scored a single point against either one of our teams. The Eagles 31, Raiders, zero.

Jason, thoughts on the birds?

Obviously, it's everything you want to do against the Raiders, right?

Like you're playing a team that you know has been struggling and they're not very good, but you still got to go out there and perform.

And, you know, I thought the Eagles offense did a really good job. I thought that the

run game is something that we stuck with it, right? Like the first series, I'm always watching like, okay, what is this going to be? What's the plan today? How many runs is it going to be?

How much shotgun? How much under center? Like, what's the flavor? And in the first series, I think there were like seven runs. There was a quarterback designed run.
It was.

Clear that they were going to stick with that and try and establish a line of scrimmage was something I think they need to continue to do moving forward. And I just liked seeing it.

They pushed the ball down the field. They created explosives.
It's everything that you want to see against

not just the Las Vegas Raiders, but what this Eagles team needs to be moving forward. And then defensively, I mean, I think they held the Raiders to 70 yards on offense.

Like it was an all-time performance from the defense. This is what this team can be.
You know,

even when the run's not hitting early, you got to stick with it. You got to keep attacking the line of scrimmage, keep making them defend that, and then take your shots when they're there.

And they did that throughout the game. And I thought that that was outstanding.
And it's who they should be moving forward. And they got three games left, right?

Two of them against the Washington Commanders, one of them against the Buffalo Bills.

They've pretty much all but clinched their spot in the playoffs. They just need one more win, and it's over.

Really, one more loss by the Cowboys, and it's over. So.

You know, they're in the driver's seat. They're probably going to be the three-seed.
If they win out, there's a chance they could be the two-seed.

What I would like to see these last three games is continue to pound the rock. Get that run game going.
It is going to open up so much more for the offense.

And if these guys can go into the playoffs feeling good, feeling confident, working with each other and executing these plays, I think it's going to help out Jalen a lot more.

And with the way this defense is playing, that's this team could be very dangerous in the postseason if they stay true to that formula. So that's what I'm hoping to see.

Dude, there's so much fucking firepower over there, man. Right.
In a a game like this, you see it all clicking, man. It just shows you what you got, man.
And then you just build off of it. And

it's crazy what one game of putting it together can do, man.

It can strike it up. There was a crazy stat out there that I don't know the specific stat, which I probably shouldn't be saying it if I don't know the specific stat.

But basically, after you win a shutout game the following week, I think it's almost 50% of the teams lose that following week. Oh, don't tell me this, Travis.

I'm just saying it's a stat to maybe tell the boys, text the boys, hey, yo, like that. That's so weird.
Why is that? That's a very weird stat. And it might even be more than that.
Really?

I think it was a staggering,

staggering number of

teams that lose that following week. I think it kind of just, it makes you feel at ease.
Maybe the game plan isn't as crazy. Maybe the game plan isn't, you know what I mean?

Whatever it may be, the guys or the team that you're playing is like, holy shit, we got to get our shit together. We're playing this team that just fucking embarrassed another team.
Yeah. All right.

Good luck. Hopefully, we

start changing that statistic a little bit better. There you go.

Yeah. There you go.
We helped that.

Nice. There we go.
But this is what Grock said about playing the Raiders, which is a very,

very hilarious thing. Not very nice, but when you play the Raiders, it's like putting Neosporn on your cuts.
They heal those wounds.

it is true i mean the level of uh you know the level that the fans were at these last couple weeks and understandably you know the eagles had not been performing well uh but then all of a sudden you play the raiders who you know have won two games this year i believe it has a tendency to you know make you feel good again and

um

that's a great way to put it by gronk i think the eagles are smart enough to know that you know this it was a great game but they still got to improve and get better but so much of playing well in the postseason is feeling good going into it.

Yeah. That's the big part.
I think the Eagles got some games here that they can feel good about, hopefully. You know, they come out and put their best foot forward.

They get into the playoffs with some momentum. So we'll see.
Well, Jalen Hurts, 12 for 15, almost a perfect day, 175 yards, three tutties before being replaced by Tanner McKee.

And then Jalen quoted after the game. He's always got one for us.
Everybody needs to remember where I came from and how I'm built. All right now.
Yeah, Bill.

He ain't missing around. He's been, I'm sure he's been hearing all of this stuff talking about it in the media.
I mean, listen,

it was a great bounce back game for him. Obviously, the game before with the turnovers and everything, very uncharacteristic of Jalen Hurts.
It's not been who he has been largely in the NFL.

But this is what I mean. He's got 15 attempts.

And if he would have played the whole game and been more than that, but

they did a great job of being a very balanced offense, and that's what they need to be. They need to continue.
It's the best offense. Even if it's it's not working.

You got to stick with it because otherwise, these guys just don't respect it. They don't respect a lot of scrimmage.
They're getting into their zone drops easier.

They're matching receivers right away. I came away this week, and quite honestly, last week, even though it didn't work out, we had the picks.

I came away from last week feeling like this offense is showing signs of going in the right direction.

Just prove that.

And hopefully, we get another game this coming week against the commanders that'll show that a little bit more. There you go.
Well, we got a LeBron stat of the game.

Our guy at at 37 years old and 255 days on top of those 37 years. Brandon Graham became the oldest player in Eagles' history to record a sack in a game.
Here we go, BG. Grandpa Graham.

Grandpa Graham. Everybody's talking about old man Rivers.
We got Grandpa Graham on the Eagles. He's going to fucking hate that I said that.
Nah, BG don't hate nothing. He's the best.

I feel like he had more than one, right? He had two sacks.

He had a great day. Yeah.
Yeah, he had two sacks. Yeah.
Doesn't surprise me one bit. Dude, he was balling.
He was in very vintage form. Who was the oldest before that?

Shit, it might have been Brandon Graham.

Yeah, I mean,

it was Brandon Graham at 36 years old. He was only 255 days.
It's always fun when you start breaking your own records for old age. There you go.
I don't know if that's true, though.

Well, you guys mentioned you guys played the Commanders on Saturday. A little Saturday in December, baby.
Those college games start

kind of going away, and all of a sudden, NFL is played on Saturdays now, baby. Let's go.
Yeah, baby.

If the Eagles win or the Cowboys lose, the Eagles will become the first back-to-back division winners in the NFC East in 20 years. How crazy is that? That is mind-blowing.
Yeah.

That is a competitive division. It's going to come to an end, too.
I mean, it's absolutely bonkers. It's been 20 years since somebody repeated.
And

yeah.

Way to go, birds. Ha ha! Sick on that, Cowboys.
What other games got flexed this week? How many? It's usually what, two or three games? I think it's two. Two games get flexed.

At least two games get flexed just Saturday.

And actually, I don't even know if that's, they might even, they might have even had this scheduled because now they just know when December comes that they're going to start flexing games.

I don't think it was scheduled because that's why they were surprised, right? Well, they're not the only game on Saturday. It looks like the Packers are playing the Bears later that evening.

You guys do have the day game, though. There we go.
Well, two o'clock game. That's such a weird time.
I don't like it. It's Saturday.
I know. I get it, but I don't like

a weird time.

It also could be West Coast because this is Brandon's computer. That is West Coast.
That's Brandon's computer. So that's a five o'clock start, which is still a weird time for a football game.

I don't know that I like a five o'clock.

One, four, or eight. Those are the time slots.
We all know it.

Stop fucking with me, NFL. You're so ridiculous.
So what I'm reading is they flexed you guys out of the prime time Saturday and gave that to Packers Bears. Yeah.

They moved you to the Eagles. Yeah.
The Eagles Commanders game would have been a very weird game to flex into a Saturday game. Like,

yes. Yeah.
All right. That's what was confused.
We figured it out. Live on air.
Perfect. All right.
Well, yeah.

Short week. Well, good luck to the birds, baby.
Let's take our talents to the rest of the NFL and talk about some Philip Rivers. He's fucking back, baby.

44 years old, a grandfather, exactly 1,800 days since the last start. He went 18 for 27 for 120 yards, one touchdown, one interception against the Seahawks.
Interception was the last play of the game.

He's playing great. I think everybody, so there are a lot of questions throughout the week.
Everybody, a lot of people were joking about it. A lot of people were like, this shouldn't be happening.

And

I think he gave them their best chance. I mean, that's the reality of it.
They're playing the Seahawks, one of the best defenses of the NFL.

This dude hasn't played for five years and he gave them an opportunity to win the game they were winning the game when he took when he left the field so what is it leonard riley leonard was he going to give them their best chance shot what was riley they were going to do against the seahawks we'll never know i mean i think we do though we can only

go out there and play that well i don't think we can only assume a lot of people were assuming that phil was going to go out there and get signed in half yeah

i mean listen i'm not going to sit here and tell you i expected him to play well or not i was like you know i just can't wait to see it i don't know what's about to happen yeah and that's the excitement of the nfl

I fucking love this goddamn league. He gets that ball out, though.
He did take some shots, though. He took some shots.
It's the NFL.

There's not a single game where a quarterback isn't going to take a shot. Yeah, the one where the snap went high on him and he had to collect it.
He got accordioned by about three Seahawks back there.

Come on, get up.

Shut up, Philip. Dude, that was a vicious one.
The old accordion tackle. Yeah, he literally pulled the cleats out of his trophy case.
How about that?

He mounted up on the wall and he takes them up out. He pulls out the old Johnny Unidas and just said, Fuck it, I'm going to go lace these leather things up.

That's hilarious. What a guy, man.
High school team was cheering him on during the game. Let's take a look at this video.
But there is Phillips team, St.

Michael Catholic in Fair Hope, Alabama, having a watch party today. And he had the best post-game speech I've heard in a while.
I thought it was outstanding.

You know, hopefully, my sons and those ball players that I'm in charge of at the school, they'll say, like, hey, crap, coach wasn't scared. Nice, man.
There's more to the quote than what's here, too.

You know, you're talking about, you know, you come in and you don't know. There's doubt in your head and having the courage to go out there and fight, right?

Because the easy thing is just sit at the house, right? That's essentially what you're saying.

Easy choice would be to, hey, I don't got to give it a shot. I'm perfectly fine over here.

I thought facing doubt, facing criticism, going out there playing the way he did, and the message that sends to the young men that he's in charge of in that area, as well as his own family, incredible.

And we forget a lot about what sports is about too often. And I think this is a great reminder by Philip.
And Rivers was always that guy, man.

Fucking courage through the fucking world. You know, he's always been that guy that's played this game the right way, man.
And no matter what the record was, no matter what the situation was.

So I expected nothing less, but it's awesome to see him go out there and still be able to

slang the old pig skin around, baby. Unfortunately, they didn't get the win, though.
Yeah.

Great job. Seahawks are a fucking great, good-ass fucking football team right now, though.
I'm not going to lie. I saw that shit in the preseason.
I started seeing some guys flying around.

Sammy D is out there fucking

making it shake. Jackson Smith and Jigba.
Dude, obviously, he's got...

You get a guy that can get open on demand, man. You still got to give him the ball.
Look at Justin Jefferson, though. What he did with Justin Jefferson the year before.

Now Justin, numbers haven't been as great for him this year, even though he's still probably the same player. And Jigba balling out.
One common denominator. He's got Darnold throwing it to him.

There you go, baby.

What other retired player player should get back out there I was thinking about this who else would be like I mean I know a guy still trying to prove his athleticism and trying to dunk Travis I can't bend my elbow

I got a loose body this is I can't even touch my head right now because I got a loose body stuck in my fucking elbow joint go and get that shit cleaned out Jason well that's I'm trying to avoid surgery Travis

We got to get some rehab going. Are we not rehabbing? There's not a rehab.
There's just a piece of cartilage that's floating around in there and it's stuck in my joint. Oh, well, yeah.

Jason, you got to go and get that shit cleaned out. Usually, I can find it and then like push it out of the joint.
And it goes back to being fine. I can't do it right now.
It's like stuck somewhere.

I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving. We'll go get MRI and figure.

I don't know. Anyway, it's not going to be me.
What up? Who else?

It's got to be a position that's not that physical, right? Dude, it's football. Aaron Donald.
I mean, bring him back. Bring A.D.
back. He could do it.
No doubt. No doubt about it.

He's going a Super Bowl run, A.D.

No doubt about it. Who else could go do it? Who else could go do it? I feel like Fletcher Kosh could still go in there and give some snaps if he wanted to.
He's lost a lot of weight, though. He is.

He's down. He's lost a lot of weight.
He's doing good. He's doing good.

How about I got Big Wit? Big Wit could be a big one. Big Wit.
Big Wit. I mean, that guy's made to protect the passer.

He gets out of his bed. being an NFL tackle.
I think, fuck, we talked about it before.

Shit, fuck it. Joe Thomas could go out there and play tight end right right now that dude tight end that dude is yoke

yoke he is yoke he is cut up little blocky tight end dude 100 gronk gronk could i think gronk could do it he can give you he can give you a bunch of games for sure what about any other quarterback could pay manny come up out of there i don't know what's the oldest a quarterback could go

the next stuff man like kurt warner get him back out there you think he could go out there and sling it a little bit kurt i saw dan marino on the sideline what's dan these days Dan?

Dan's probably not even interested. He looks good, though.

I'm just going to be honest. It's Dan Marino.
He doesn't look at it. He's got that glow to him.
He's just, he's just the.

I think we need to just see what's the oldest quarterback that could go out there and function an offense. Dan Marino's 64.
Dude, I'll tell you what, man.

I went to, speaking of Kurt Warner, I went to Kurt Warner's, his foundation eventhow in Arizona one year. And he always has

ex-NFL players, quarterbacks, guys that could throw the ball.

He had me come in there and

we're the automatic QBs. So basically, you sign up for a team or you draft your quarterback in a seven-on-seven game.
And I was playing quarterback with

a bunch of guys from, I think it was the military, if I remember correctly. But either way,

you know who was out there fucking slinging it and looking like he was like large and in charge?

Doug Fluty. Doug Fluty? Dude, Doug, I'm pretty sure Floody still plays in like a men's baseball league.
He like surfs every day. Dude, I'm dead ass serious, dude.

Floody is still like peak athleticism, dude. And he's still wired to like fucking lead the boys to victory.
I promise you, dude.

I feel like we should just go on like an old, like quarterback's just giving it one game just to see if they can make it through.

We already know a 44-year-old can do it off the street, five years removed. Yeah.
When other quarterbacks are like in that age like trying to think of guys

like older than older than 40 older than 44 younger than dam marino though um

like i just saw ben rothelsberger like john kittna john kittna kidna kitna was slinging around that that same tournament

like drew bledsoe drew could i mean yeah of course aikman could aikman Troy he still looks good and in shape and I don't know I don't know if he's still got the lively arm that's see that's the thing man personally I feel like

Rivers was around his high school team. He was around, you know, he's out there.
He's around the game.

He's still probably throwing the ball around, showing the quarterbacks the mechanics and how to get the ball out and stuff like that. He's got very unique mechanics.

I don't think most guys are throwing the ball like he did. I mean, it's still a fucking live arm.
You know what I mean?

He's always, he's never not had that. So

I think he's kind of stayed around the game enough to do it. And I don't know, I mean, Dilfer, Dilfer was, he was down there in, uh, was it UAB coaching?

Gosh, who was, I'm trying to think of, like, who was the wave before Peyton? Joe Montana step out on the field for a second. Joe Montagna? Dude,

have you ever met Montana? No. Smooth cat.
Yeah. Dude, oh my gosh.
I was like, dude, this dude, he had the aura of like a movie star, man.

Like, he was just like the coolest dude I've ever met in my life, man. It was so fun.
100%. He could give you a game.
Elway? Elway still slinging it around?

He's been around the game. He's been out there in Denver

in the organization.

All right.

Let's see what he's got. Touchy subject.
Yeah, we'll see. Let's move on here.
We got some questions. Who's winning the NFC? That's a question.

Man. It's really going to be the Rams or Seahawks.
I don't know what all these other teams are doing in this list, right?

Yeah, I think Rams take it. I think Rams take it.
They got a little bit more of a veteran feel to them right now, even though the Seahawks are playing fucking great.

I'm pretty sure they, if it ended today, they would have it, right? The Rams would. Yeah, yeah.
I don't see them. Now, the Seahawks did.

The last time they played them, they lost barely, but Sam Darnold turned it over four times. So, like, you know, it'll be interesting to see who comes down out of that.

But I just, I don't think it's going to be the Bears. I think the Bears are going to lose some of these games coming down the stretch.

NFC North is going to beat the crap out of each other. 49ers, I think think what Kyle Shanahan's done in that staff this year with all the injuries has been incredible.

But no, I think it's the Rams and Seahawks in that division this year. Packers just lost Parsons, which I think they're still a good team.
But Parsons was the guy that, I mean, they went out and paid.

They knew they needed a piece like that to be, you know, a four-down rush team and do all the interesting stuff in the back end that Halfley likes.

And now they're going to potentially have to blitz a little bit more and mix it up to generate the pressure.

Or Rashawn Gary is going to have to start playing like Micah Parsons, which he's had a great season, but a lot of that is

because he's been out there with Micah Parsons. I mean, I think the Rams are the best team right now in the NFC.
Eagles are right there. I think they're going to keep playing better.

And I do think they're going to be formidable in these playoffs. The Bears.
Ben Johnson is these guys rolling. What do you think of the Bears? I love watching them, man.

There's some of those teams where you could just see... I don't know, man.
I just, I love watching teams that have Eric B. Enemy as their coach.
Eric B. Enemy's on the Bears? Fuck yeah, baby.

I didn't know that. Yeah, he's a running back.
Running back over there, dog. There's just something.
And then my guy, Joe Tooney, I just, there's so much familiarity over there just from those guys.

And obviously hanging out with the tight ends. And

they got a young guy in Colson.

They got a fucking veteran in Colt. I love watching the scheme.
I mean, it is so creative.

I just feel like they're a few pieces away, it feels like. Yeah.

But you never know.

Who else? Packers?

I think that's about it. But we do get to see the Seahawks and Rams play this Thursday.
So there'll be some implications on how that NFC and definitely the NFC West plays out

here late in December, baby. Do we need to get back to dangerous halftime shows? Are halftime shows getting too fucking...

I just want to get back to exciting halftime shows. It doesn't even have to be dangerous.
That kind of goes in with it, but I hear you.

I mean, yeah, dangerous is inherently exciting, but there's other ways to make it exciting. Like,

I just, if I have to see another dog catching a fucking frisbee, I am going to blow my brains out. Yeah, no, I hear you.
Where's the creativity?

I respect the fun, but why is it at the NFL halftime show? That's like a

college deal. It's a timeout thing.
If there was one of them, it'd be really cool. Or if the dog jumped over like a flaming bridge, I'd be all in.
But it's just, it's not that exciting to me.

Like, I can go to any park and watch some dickhead play catch with a frisbee and his dog. Why does he got to be a dickhead?

Did you see the Broncos

mutton busting halftime show? I did not. Let's see it.
Let's check it out. Let's see what this is about.
Do you know what mutton is, Travis? Nope. Mutton is sheep meat.

Oh, this is.

Wow, he's trying to ride it. Yeah, see how far it can go.
See, this is what I'm talking about. This is new.
This is creative. This is interesting.
I've never seen

anybody ride a sheep.

Yeah, see how long you can last. I'm all in on this.
This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about.

I'm out. You don't think it's exciting to watch a little kid ride a sheep for as long as possible? Not for the NFL halftime show, no.
I think it's good. Oh, man, I am completely.

This is, it's exactly the fucking

dog frisbee thing. The dog frisbee thing would be fine if I had never seen it.
It's just that it's been done so much. Do something new.
Do something creative.

That's why this is interesting to me. I thought people are making a living.
They're going around stadium to stadium selling this. I know.
And I'm saying

that's why it's not good. This is what I'm talking about.
Did you see this? Tidy. Yeah.
It's the first NFL halftime show of all time.

You signing up for that or what? I'm not doing it.

I'm probably too heavy for it.

The most impressive thing about this entire thing isn't just the loop. It's how quick he stops.
Like, he's stopping once he's already around it. How did he stop that so quick?

Look at how excited they are. I love this.
Yeah. They probably had never seen him do it before.
They were all like, well, he doesn't practice it because it's very dangerous.

We'll see if he can nail it.

Oh, he's missed it every time in practice.

He almost broke his neck. We gave him a neck brace this time.
See how he's got the lean forward? He's probably leaned back one time and fucking offed himself.

I just think we can be more creative with the halftime shows. You did it, man.
You fucking did it, dude. I knew you could do it.

I'm all in on this.

What is this, the 70s? 1970. You're right.
So good.

Let's bring the creativity up on halftime shows, NFL. All right.
Shout out to those mutton-busting kids, man.

I don't like shitting on kids unless they deserve it, and they didn't deserve that, so I'm sorry. But lamb, lamb is meat from lambs, right? Baby sheep.

Yeah. Yep.
Mutton is the meat of a fully grown sheep. Why have we all never had mutton? Well, in some countries they do eat mutton.

Actually, shepherd's pie, traditionally made with mutton. Now we use beef because there's a lot more calls.
They probably still eat mutton a lot of places. I've had mutton before.
High man myself.

Tacos with Cam Scataboob. Jason, you got out of the house eating tacos in L.A.
and then got called out by the taco king himself. Who'd I get? Oh, yeah.
Well, I didn't get called out. Maybe.

No, we gave him a shout out because the way the taco was made out there in L.A. at Morisco's Jalisco was

flat and sideways and deep fried, which I'd never had a shrimp taco during the corner tortilla that was deep-fried. Oh, my God.
Come on back out to Kansas City. I'll take you to a spot.

Trust, I am not going to Kansas City for tacos. Why?

Because it's the Midwest.

I'm going to L.A. for tacos.
I'll go down into like Miami for tacos. I'll go to Arizona for tacos.
I'll go to Texas for Tex-Mex. I promise you, dude, you can find fucking multiple authentic spots.

I'll give it a chance. I'll give it a chance.
Yeah, with a bunch of flour tortillas? No. Deep fried, just the way you're thinking.
All right. I'll give it a try.
I'll give it a try.

Shout out to Rudy's. Rudy's?

Yes. That's not just like it.
I'm not going to a taco spot called Rudy's. Rudy's Tanapa Tapor.
I forget what exactly it is. You're not like, hey, this is Noah's Tacos.
I'm not going to Noah's Tacos.

It's authentic, okay, Jason? They give it to you on foil. Just doesn't look that authentic to me, dude.
If it's a paper plate with some foil, that's good. They bring out fucking

like gallon jugs of fucking salsa that they make out in the back. No fucking sticker on it.

They make it housemade, but they bring it out in gallons. Pull up Morisco's Jalisco.
Morisco's Jalisco's.

Jalisco isn't even a fucking word. I don't even know if that's how you pronounce it.
Jalisco? All right, that sounds more like a word. It's a taco truck?

That's where you get to get tacos.

get out of here get

out you're out of your get this fucking you are get this out of my face there is no chc

any place

chase is competing

street meat street meat you brought you're thinking street meat's fucking ego

where tacos come from

no it's not this it is no it's not It is not where they come from. Look up where tacos come from.
You want me to Google where tacos come from? Where tacos come from? Where do tacos come from? Okay.

This is ridiculous. I can't believe you're trying to compete with this thing.
U.S. introduction to tacos.
Mexican immigrants brought tacos to the U.S. where they were initially seen as street food.

According to who? Name your source. According to the AI.

Get the shit out of here. I'm just saying, like, what are we talking about? Like, tacos are street, like, it's a dish to be on the go.
It's a fully encapsulated thing. The plate.

It's not supposed to be in a strip ball in Kansas City. I think you can find tacos anywhere.
I'm an optimist. You definitely.
I'm not an optimist. I will try these tacos.

I just, I think that I will be beyond shocked if they can. We all, we all

know what that means, Jason. We all know what that means.
I'll try them. I'll try.
We already know.

I'm not exactly what I think tacos should be. I will give them an honest assessment.
You already know what your assessment's going to be. If they're legit, they'll be honest.
It'll never be honest.

It'll never be honest. 100%.

It'll never be honest. Unless it comes from a taco truck.
I'm always from Tijuana. You're not fucking going to like them.
No, I love tons of trucks and tacos.

I love L Longbox. Right.
We'll do that at some point in the offseason or soon. Who knows? We'll figure it out.
Yeah, I'm not touching a single thing out of a fucking taco truck.

What about the burger joint? The burger truck, Franken It Up, Kansas City fan. That was also in that post.
That's my favorite L.A. burger.
What, that's your favorite L.A. burger? You're fucking wrong.

I'll fight you. No, because burgers are street meat.
They were brought here by the French to sell on the streets of New York. All right.
Thanks for the shout-out, Cam.

We're going to keep trying to eat taco sideways without spilling them all over my lap if I can. Dominate the taco.

Searchlight Pictures presents Is This Thing On? From director Bradley Cooper. Is This Thing On?

is a life-affirming, heartfelt, and hilarious story about love, reinvention, and the unpredictable art of moving on.

Starring Will Arnett, Laura Dern, Andre Day, and Bradley Cooper, we meet Alex in the wake of a separation from his wife, Tess.

Looking for community and catharsis, Alex stumbles into the New York comedy scene where he discovers a new passion and sense of purpose.

Just as as Tess embarks on her own journey of self-discovery, forcing them to navigate co-parenting, identity, and whether love can take a new form.

Critics hail Arnett and Dern are magnetic, and Is This Thing On is a stand-up achievement worth applauding.

One of the most memorable and heartfelt films you'll see all year, now playing in select theaters. Get tickets today.

All righty, before we hand out some stamps, we'd like to give a big shout-out to our partners, DraftKings, Pix.

Woo! Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

We're nearing the end of the regular season, and every team is fighting to earn their spot. We've got some big matchups this week.
Let's talk about some of them.

The Zion Scrolls, Patriots, Ravens, Eagles Commanders, Rams, Seahawks, Packers, Bears, Mucks, Panthers, Jags, Broncos. Who are we most excited for, boys? Ooh, Jake, go first.

I know you've rehearsed this. You want me to go first? Oh, dude.
I did not rehearsal this. You rehearsed this.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
These are completely off the cuff takes, but I have two thoughts.

I think.

So right away, you have two thoughts. Two thoughts.

Right away, off the cuff after hearing that list of game, two thoughts. First is Bucs Panthers.
Like, I thought that division would have been decided by now.

They've got two games against each other in the next like three weeks. They do.
But whoever wins this one, I think, is going to have the leg up going, obviously, into the repeat matchup.

So Bucks Panthers to decide the division. That's my number one game.
The second game, bit of a wild card, but Patriots Ravens for a couple of reasons.

One, I would be very shocked if the Ravens ended up out of the playoffs. And I think if they don't win this game, they very well could be left out of the dance.
It's wild. Yeah.

The other thing, too, is just, again, I relate everything back to being a Jets fan. I would love for the Patriots to not get the number one overall seed.

So I'm really, really, really pulling for the Ravens.

Are you shocked to see a rebuild take less than 25 years? I didn't know. that's not supposed to be possible.
This is all like

you can just actually put together a good team pretty quick. That's not really that hard.
Just be a well-functioning organization. Make sure you a good coach and draft a good quarterback, apparently.

Yeah.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to say honestly, the game I'm most excited for is Thursday. Ram Seahawks.
I feel like they're just that number one seeds up for grabs.

Division opponents on a short week is pretty wild to me. But I'm going to watch Niners Colts.
I'm going to watch watch whatever Phillip Rivers does.

I've never been more excited for a player that's a phenomenal storyline this year. No doubt.
He only chose to come back against the best defenses for some reason. So I'm pumped, my boy.

He did, right? He's like, Seahawks, 90.

The Niners are not the best defenses. They're up there.
They're not bad. They're good.
Okay. Jason Kelsey with some takes.

There was also that rumor that had the Niners beaten the Eagles the year that Brock Purdy's arm got hurt in the NFC championship, that Shanahan was going to call Phillip Rivers to have him play the Super Bowl.

Wow. I want to see Shanahan's mind against Rivers' mind.
That'll be a fun matchup. Ooh.
Well, well done, boys. There you go.
I'm definitely Rams, Seahawks, Packers, Bears.

None of these other games are that intriguing to me.

Bucs Panthers is super important to see who makes it out of that division. I just, they both are, I don't think they're going to be

Jags Broncos could have some juice because that's, I mean, I

still just question the Broncos, and I want to see if the Jags are it against that defense. All of these games are actually awesome.
I'm going to take that back. They're all awesome.
There you go.

But no,

Ram Seahawks, very much interested in watching that. On a thirsty.
Packers, Bears,

Bucs, Panthers. It matters.

I'm such a huge fan of Baker and Todd Bulls, but they just haven't played great. A lot of that's from injuries, but yeah, it's an important game.
Big weekend. Great weekend.
It's been a good weekend.

There's been a lot of weeks of pretty crappy games. This is an outstanding loaded week.
Great weekend of football. All righty.

This cow who didn't fall for the hard count? What's that? Hey, here we we go here we go

waddy what is hunt disciplined cow hey hey turbo turbo hey kick in kick in

wadetty what is a hunt hunt

it's a good impersonation all right oh look at deon dawkins let me see this clip i just love the picture Oh, yeah.

When you just let your belly hang on him, it's a good feeling. Because you can't hold him down.
Once you're on top of him, you just got to keep your hold.

Well, that's how you avoid a holding penalty, too. Because if you hold your hands off,

this is nothing. This is just body weight.
This is just body weight.

He's falling on himself. You're out of.

Dog, it's hilarious for that.

I'm going to give it to Deion Dawkins for the heads-up move.

I love this. God damn it.
Well done, Deion. Well done.
Shout out to Deion, man. Just pause it right there.

Just.

He literally spun on him, dude.

That's fucking hilarious. I'll give my stamp to Deion Dawkins.

See what we got, boys. How old is this? What era? I have no idea.
I just bought these offline.

I feel like they're kind of new

because I've never seen a pack like this ever in my life. Most of the older packs, there's not as much variety.
Welcome to the new heights. This is what we're doing this week.

Season's over, time to count cards. Wait, time out.
This is legitimately a Pokemon. So you weren't fucking around.

You weren't a big Pokemon fan. I was the Pokemon fan.
Bro, I would out Pokemon you in a fucking Pokemon minute. You don't even know how to play.
You know how to actually play? Yeah.

Of course he doesn't.

That's what the cards were for.

I just had them in a binder. I didn't know how to actually play.
Oh, look, Jason.

Belly Bolt. That's a new one.
I'm not familiar with Belly Bolt. If it's not one of the original 151, I don't...
I'm so. It's not in red or blue.
I don't, it's not canon to me.

I'm sorry for whatever nerd that pisses off. Sandrew? Sandrew? Sandrew.
That's that one.

Kind of looks familiar. Cleffable.
Yeah. That's nice.
Clefable. Yeah.

Put that a little sleeve. Yeah, sleeve that one up.
Sleeve that one up. Ooh, hold on.
Wait. I have our card segment.
It's sleeve it or leave it. Sleeve it or leave it.

Great job, Brandon. MetaCham.
Looks like she's got the BBL going. Jesus Christ.

Nice. Well, thank you guys for watching

Sleep It or Leave it. See you guys next week.
It's our first edition of Sleep It or Leave It and fucking around on the internet. 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? 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 hunter soundtrack on repeat.

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.

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

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.

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