Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, Boarshead. 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.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 1 Their platters are literally a game changer. We're talking premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more.
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 Wait, so Reese's color is orange, and the Oreo cookie was invented in 1912.

Speaker 1 This one's been in the vault waiting for its moment.

Speaker 1 Reese's Oreo. The biggest drop since, well...

Speaker 1 Oh, man. Starting to get a little chilly out here, Jason.

Speaker 1 Starting to get a little nippy. You can't just see any.
It's my kind of. nature's thermostats.
Big. Nature's thermometer? A little nippy.
Telling you to put that sweatshirt on. Oh, it's been on.

Speaker 1 new news

Speaker 1 new news new news is brought to you by amazon prime prime all right 14

Speaker 1 to holiday magic late night show announcement on jimmy kim alive last week we found out that jason will host they call it late night with jason kelse on the end

Speaker 1 how about that speaking of espn baby Jumping right into it. Jason, man,

Speaker 1 what is this? Where did this inspiration come from?

Speaker 1 Well, I was trying to figure out what to do now that I'm retired, and I thought it'd be fun.

Speaker 1 So, honestly, the way I thought about it is I thought it'd be fun to have live music and to do something in front of a live setting of people. Okay.
And I was like, what has that?

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, yeah, Late Night Shows have that. Because when I think of the NFL, I think of like those old iconic NFL songs that like just make you feel like you're in the middle of football.
Right.

Speaker 1 And I thought it'd be cool cool to have a band play some of that music uh celebrate the game hell yeah yeah you know the one thing everybody says you miss when you get tired or when you get when you retire

Speaker 1 i guess you are kind of tired the one thing everybody says you miss when you retire is being around the guys and i mean it could not be more true like you miss the locker room so much you miss being around coaches i miss just hearing coaches Miss those lectures.

Speaker 1 And I think this is a fun way to be like, hey, once a week for

Speaker 1 five weeks, we're going to do five episodes of this show. And we're going to have a panel.
We're going to have a bunch of former players, head coaches, maybe a current player.

Speaker 1 The season will be over at that point for some of you guys. Pick me, pick me, pick me.
I mean, Trav, you are more than welcome to come on the show. We would love to have you.
I know you're a busy guy.

Speaker 1 I know you're a busy guy.

Speaker 1 But I think it's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be filmed in Philly.

Speaker 1 The title, they call it late night, is an ode to John Fasenda in the first NFL films recording ever where he said, they call it pro football. So, yeah, I think he's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 All right, now would it make it make sense?

Speaker 1 What was your favorite late night show or even host growing up? Growing up, it was Conan. We used to go to Nolan Plunkett's house, dude.

Speaker 1 Conan guy, I've never knew this. I've always loved Conan.

Speaker 1 I like any of those late-night shows, to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 Me and Zach always joke around, like, hey, bro, you fuck with Conan.

Speaker 1 He's so good, man. So, he's always, yeah, he's

Speaker 1 used to be at the Plunketts at like a sleepover or something like that because we all had like hockey practice in the morning or some tournament.

Speaker 1 And we would be up as kids, like watching Conan on like the little TV up in the attic. Dude, I remember this, yeah.
So, um, anyways, I don't know why we shout out to the Plunketts, man. I love that.

Speaker 1 Shout out. Shout out to the Planets.
Definitely Don.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So I love Conan growing up.
I mean, I got to see Jimmy Kimball this past week.

Speaker 1 Dude, the best. I thought it was absurd.
It was hilarious. Yeah.
Jimmy was the man, offered tons of advice. Had to follow him around all day.

Speaker 1 So to be able to go on his show and promote my show that's coming out, but also you just go there and talk to him, you know, get all the ins and outs of like how to run a late-night show, how to, you know, how you're talking to the camera,

Speaker 1 how you choose topics, you know,

Speaker 1 how you prepare.

Speaker 1 It was honestly a very, very beneficial trip to take. I believe it, man.

Speaker 1 Got the pleasure of meeting Jimmy over the summer, man. What a guy.
Great dude. And you could tell

Speaker 1 he's one of the best in the business for a reason, man. No doubt.
And with that, the other piece of new news is Jumanji works. I told you guys.
It works.

Speaker 1 Put it on.

Speaker 1 98% of the time, it works every day. Who would have thought Jumanji works as good as Marvin Gaye, man? Fuck.
Hey, listen, it works better than Marvin.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we have our fourth child on the way. It is another girl.
I am very good at producing little girls, and we are very excited. Kylie Kelsey posted this.

Speaker 1 I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom, and dad are on the same page.
Yep.

Speaker 1 I think that's a pretty accurate representation.

Speaker 1 Ellie is happy. She's no longer the middle child.
Wyatt is like, this is too much. And Benny is

Speaker 1 no longer the baby in a few weeks, in a a few months.

Speaker 1 But yeah, now we're pumped. This is awesome, man.
This is awesome. Obviously, super excited.
I just love my daughters so much. The fact that we're going to be getting another one is beyond exciting.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 I think,

Speaker 1 you know, we'll see. This might be it.

Speaker 1 Might be the last.

Speaker 1 Hurrah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think four beautiful little girls is very magic. That's a good number.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's awesome, man. Before we start with the first time.
You can always go for the starting five, though. You can always go for the starting five and just, you know,

Speaker 1 just

Speaker 1 feel and infield, you know.

Speaker 1 Before we started having them, we

Speaker 1 I always said three and Kylie said five, but I don't know if she's feeling that anymore. I think she's like, okay, I've had my number.
I'm done. It's a lot of work.
I can only imagine.

Speaker 1 I mean, especially back-to-back-to-back like that.

Speaker 1 It is grueling for me. I have to do a lot of work.

Speaker 1 You're ridiculous. Get the fuck out of here.
I'll let you do this to Kylie like that.

Speaker 1 You know, nothing, Jason.

Speaker 1 No, Kai's killing it. No, she's she always is.
And uh, excited to be a new little, little, little baby niece. It'll be beautiful, man.

Speaker 1 I want this baby to come out happy and healthy, just like that's all you can ask for. I mean, that's

Speaker 1 all you can ask for. Very, very excited about welcoming another child to our already chaotic household.
Nice.

Speaker 1 Chaos is what I'm here for. Benny is so cute right now.
The fact that there's going to be another little bitty. She looks absolutely adorable in this picture.
I love it. She's, it's, yeah, you'll see.

Speaker 1 She's at a good stage right now.

Speaker 1 I love that, man.

Speaker 1 You can actually hear more about the Kelsey family on Kylie's new podcast. That's right.
Kai, killing it. Said she's tired of not being able to voice things herself.
Well, now she has the outlet.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Wave for teaming up with her and

Speaker 1 giving her not going to lie, which I heard might change depending on how things go. And excited to hear her talk about motherhood and just whatever the fuck is going on over there in the Kelsey house.

Speaker 1 It'll be good. I love it, man.
People have been dying to get more of Kelsey's opinion. So they're going to get it.
You ask for it. You're going to get it.
I love it, man.

Speaker 1 And that does it for new news brought to you by Amazon Prime. That's right.
Become a Prime member today and get more out of whatever passions you are pursuing. Whatever you're into, it's on Prime.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 All right, let's move on to some football. How about that?

Speaker 1 All righty, let's get into some bold topics to wrap up week 13 in the NFL. Man, it's already week 13.
How crazy is that? Dude, we're here.

Speaker 1 It's week 12. Bold topics to wrap up week 12 in the NFL.
Wow. All right.
Let's get to probably the one that we got to talk about the most, which is Chiefs recap. That's right.
Chiefs 30. Panthers 27.

Speaker 1 traff initial thoughts uh

Speaker 1 yeah that was a pretty good panthers team man they um they've been playing a lot offense yeah shout out to bryce young what

Speaker 1 a great story you love to see it man you love to see it obviously don't love to see it when it happens when you're playing very well but still love to see it man

Speaker 1 i heard a lot of great things about him yeah and um just being a ball player and being a good person and a good teammate so uh love to see that for him he's playing well.

Speaker 1 He kind of turned the narrative from the beginning of the season. And he's got those guys playing really well on offense.
And

Speaker 1 they went toe-to-toe with Pat Mahomes, man. Toe-to-toe.
Yes, they did. You guys have had a number of teams go toe-to-toe with you.
You have had five walk-off wins this year. That is crazy.

Speaker 1 That is crazy. Like complete walk-offs.
Baltimore, Cincinnati, Tampa Bay, Denver, and now Carolina. The Chiefs are 8-0 in one-score games.

Speaker 1 The best mark in the NFL and only unbeaten in one-score games. I mean, listen, that's the Mahomes effect right there, baby.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, if he gets the ball with an opportunity to win the game at the end of it, it is, I mean, I guess eight times it's happened so far this year. It's gone in the Chiefs' favor.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Mahomes on close games. You always want to have some blowouts and be a little calmer in the fourth quarter, but I've always said it.

Speaker 1 could be a good thing, but I've always said it could be a good thing when you get to the playoffs later in the season. But I would say this more than anybody.

Speaker 1 I would love to win a game, not by the very last play. Yep.
I think that makes sense.

Speaker 1 But I also get what he's saying. I think we all do.
The reality is, playoffs come down to one-score games, and the better you are in those situations, in those crucial moments.

Speaker 1 And this is why you guys have been so successful

Speaker 1 at the end of the day, because two minutes on the line, Pat has the ball. Pretty good chance he's going to execute pretty well.
Pretty good chance your entire team is going to execute really well.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And

Speaker 1 that's what it was for the majority of the game. I think it was a full, it was a team win, everybody kind of playing better together.
I think

Speaker 1 we walked away with three more times than you would like. But at the end of the day, Pat Mahomes,

Speaker 1 huge run in the fourth quarter on that last drive. Big time blocks by Jay Watt.

Speaker 1 He had kind of two of them where he bumped a guy and then went out and got the seal so that Pat could, or the spring where Pat could cut upfield and get a bunch, a bunch of yards. So

Speaker 1 it was a fun game to be a part of. There was a lot of kind of learning moments on top of

Speaker 1 us actually going out there and making some plays and both in the run game and pass game. I thought it was a nice balanced attack and Coach Reed was dialing those things up, baby.

Speaker 1 Well, speaking of Coach Reed, in his post-game speech, he said, so look, I don't want to see anybody hanging their head, men. This league is crazy.
You saw it yesterday with college football.

Speaker 1 Nothing's given to you, and you're going to get their best shot. That's right.
So keep your heads up, men, and you get this thing rolling. We've got some things we've got to clean up.

Speaker 1 Winning is the most important thing right now, and you guys bared down and got it done. Yep.
I mean, listen, that's been the story of the season for the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 As we said before, the game came down to a walk-off field goal. After a 33-yard Pat Mahomes run, Spencer Schrader hits the walk-off winner.
That's right. In for the injured Butker.
Schrader.

Speaker 1 This was his first game winner, three for three on field goals and three for three on extra points. Look at Pat Scooting, getting them hips in there.
That boy's out there sliding.

Speaker 1 You see the separation right there. Pat can scoot now.
I want you to watch Jaywatt on this play, though.

Speaker 1 He's at the bottom left part of your screen. When Pat starts running, hits that guy

Speaker 1 and then just gets a piece of the guy that was in the flat. Gets two.
Gets two, and you don't need to get a lot, man. No.

Speaker 1 When you got a guy out of the pocket, you don't need to get a lot because Pat's going to do a lot with his eyes and he's going to do a lot with the deception of a speed. And that was such a huge play.

Speaker 1 And who would have thought that a veteran like Jay Watt would have been savvy enough to get two, man? Every good guy gets one. Every great man gets two.

Speaker 1 That's one of the things I love watching. I love watching block.
People that start blocking, that's not a design play. Like they just like find work.
Find work. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 That is some of my favorite stuff because it's so unit's like

Speaker 1 it's so unselfish and it makes such a difference all the time, routinely. Every time.
So love seeing that. Shout out to Jay Watt.
Do we have this clip of Schrader hitting a ref in the head?

Speaker 1 What's this? I didn't see this. Oh, after the extra point, yeah.
It was on purpose? Nah, it was just a very unfortunate

Speaker 1 hit off the net, just fucking bink. Oh,

Speaker 1 boink. All right.
That's unfortunate for the ref. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, not cool.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's do some Chiefs' offensive highlights.
Noah Gray, man.

Speaker 1 Back-to-back weeks with two touchdowns. You've been high on Noah for a long time.
You've been speaking and praising how talented he is. So good.
He's coming off over a couple weeks here. Yeah.
I think

Speaker 1 he's got like four touchdowns in the last

Speaker 1 five quarters. There's nice.
I can't say enough about the teammate he is, the guy he is, the professionalism when he walks in the building. He's in it wholeheartedly.

Speaker 1 All of his focus is on one goal, and that's to make the team better. And he's been that guy since he's been in the locker room.

Speaker 1 He got a big signing bonus, or I mean, he got a big contract in the beginning of the season to show him, you know, that the Chiefs want him here for a long time.

Speaker 1 And, man, it's fun to see him just take off right now. And

Speaker 1 I've been saying it for the past two, three years.

Speaker 1 I think we need to get him more incorporated in the offense in terms of throwing and making him the primary and things like that because he's got such a good feel. He sees the defense.

Speaker 1 He understands the defense.

Speaker 1 And he feels those voids very well. You know, when we need it most, cover zero in a second touchdown.

Speaker 1 Pat comes up to the line, changes the play, tells Noah to run a post, and sure enough, physical at the top of his route, knowing the guy's going to hold on because it's zero, and

Speaker 1 he's going to play with heavy hands, and he just snaps off and goes up top and snags it.

Speaker 1 Man, and I'm telling you, man, those kind of plays, when you see a guy keep rising to the occasion time after time, whether it's in the pass game, the run game, the pass blocking game, you know, wherever you need this guy to make a play, he's going to make a play for you and you're uh you're going to keep seeing a3 show up uh not only in the scoreboard but on the highlights man yeah baby and then uh play of the game tershawn wharton show this one while walking off the field chiefs detacko tershawn wharton caught a kid falling out of the stands trying to get an autograph damn turk

Speaker 1 I actually saw this and I just kept it moving. I felt bad after once I finally saw this? Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm like over to the left. Oh, I didn't even see you right there i i'm like oh

Speaker 1 damn turk you got him hell yeah turk's got him

Speaker 1 i haven't seen this video though

Speaker 1 everybody back to your seats damn this is so funny

Speaker 1 jesus i mean i don't know who the uh who the brainiac was to cut the railing right there i don't

Speaker 1 You see how there was like that little gap? There is that like little gap just enough for like a kid. What the fuck is that for? I don't know.
Maybe, maybe the Panthers are anti-kids.

Speaker 1 Dude, he should fucking go to school with a neck brace on and sue the fucking Panthers.

Speaker 1 Get rich quick, kid.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Zershan. Shout out to Turk for making sure that the little guy was all right.
Once I saw Turk was over there, I knew everything was good. Yeah.
Does Jason owe the Panthers apology?

Speaker 1 I think I do. I was crapping all over the Panthers.
I thought that they were the worst team in the NFL not too long ago. And all of a sudden, they're starting to play pretty good football.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Bryce Young. dude.
We talked about it a second ago

Speaker 1 getting bench earlier this year. There's a lot of people talking about it's over in Carolina.
He's going to end up being someplace else. 21, 35, 262, a touchdown.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's not like, hey, isn't an insane stat line, but it's pretty dang good. I mean, he played you guys pretty well, especially for being the defense that you guys are.

Speaker 1 It might not even be the stats. I mean, obviously, the stats are solid, but I think it was the big-time moments.
He was ready for cover zero

Speaker 1 when it was thrown at him.

Speaker 1 He had answers.

Speaker 1 He had an understanding of where he was going with the ball before the snap. You could tell with his feet and his timing and everything.

Speaker 1 And sure enough, those Panthers receivers, the young Panthers receivers, were up there fucking making plays, man, and made it hard for us. And they got a great run game, man.

Speaker 1 Travis, you got a Rip Hamilton shot out. How about that? It's my dog, man.

Speaker 1 Got to meet him over at F1, Miami, over the summer, man. What a guy.
Growing up watching him throughout his entire stint in the NFL. I mean, NBA.
What's that?

Speaker 1 All I think is that face mask that he was doing. That's iconic.
Absolutely iconic. Andrews.
You know why they call him Rick.

Speaker 1 I thought that was his name. Yeah.
No,

Speaker 1 it's

Speaker 1 the sound of the body. Remember them threes? Ripped the.

Speaker 1 That's a good reason. That's a great name if you're a bad man.
Such a good name. Yes.

Speaker 1 And he was nothing but net every single time. And he had some sweet Jordans on.
He played with the Wizards for a while and

Speaker 1 played with Jordan, I believe. And sure enough, the Goat May Sherry,

Speaker 1 he was set with the kicks baby and uh being a fellow uh pe jordan athlete now myself on the field uh still uh repping nike as always and forever i thought it was pretty cool to to rock the old rip city 12s man during week 12 of the uh nfl season rip city trav do you uh have any final thoughts from this past week any final thoughts um no do you want to feel good to get double-digit wins uh

Speaker 1 on top of that um

Speaker 1 you know i think we're still growing as a as a team. I think Coach Reed got in front of the team last week before the Panthers game and mentioned, you know, just playing together all three phases.

Speaker 1 You know, however that looks, let's work on just being complimentary football. You know, when it's big time third downs, defense gets stops.

Speaker 1 When it's big time third downs or red zone opportunities as an offense, we score touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Special teams, spark plays, big time plays on the special teams, and everybody just be accountable. Limit these penalties, man.
These penalties are only making our job harder. And

Speaker 1 I think it's great, and it feels good when you come out victorious, when you're all playing together, you know, and you can feel that synergy when it happens. And

Speaker 1 yeah, it just feels good to get the double-digit wins, baby. Well, before we move on, let's talk about some career milestones.

Speaker 1 Travis Kelsey passed Antonio Gates to become the third all-time receiving yards leader as a tight end. Only Tony Gonzalez.

Speaker 1 You know, I've been waiting for this to happen so that this never happens again because I'm not touching

Speaker 1 Tony Gonzalez. I mean, Tony is, I mean, that's such an absurd

Speaker 1 level. Yeah.
There's no chance. No, but seriously,

Speaker 1 shout out to Antonio Gates, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Little Mac Mac basketball.
You kidding me?

Speaker 1 Some Mac basketball turned NFL tight end, NFL superstar.

Speaker 1 So cool. I remember watching Antonio Gates when I was in middle school and obviously throughout the entire NFL career career and even playing against the big guy, man.
He's an absolute legend.

Speaker 1 Learned a lot from just watching his game

Speaker 1 on film and then playing against him and seeing him on the field. And then on top of that, being able to kind of pig his brain when I saw him out and about in the NFL world, man.

Speaker 1 And obviously, big-time shout-outs to Tony Gonzalez and Jason Winnie because I'll never catch you guys. Well, they do have an insane amount of yards.
There's also LeBron stat out there. That's right.

Speaker 1 Andy Reid and the Chiefs are now the third team with 10 straight seasons with with at least 10 wins. I mean,

Speaker 1 that's pretty legit. It's very legit.
It's pretty legit, Coach Reid. Too legit to quit.
All righty, let's look ahead to week 13. That's right.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs are playing on Black Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs Raiders on Black Friday, man.

Speaker 1 Did you see that?

Speaker 1 Take on the Raiders on Black Friday, man. It's pretty fitting.
It's pretty fitting. It is.

Speaker 1 Did you see this insane Brock Bowers, LeBron stat? Brock Bowers just passed Jerry Rice for the most receptions by a Raider in the first 11 games of a season.

Speaker 1 Do you understand

Speaker 1 the age difference? No, Jerry was very old. It's honestly more insane that Jerry Rice was the one who was holding this record.

Speaker 1 The Raiders have just been running the fuck out of the ball.

Speaker 1 I mean, this is pretty sweet, though. 74 catches

Speaker 1 through 11 games.

Speaker 1 As a rookie, that's, I mean, he's one of the most accountable tight ends in the league right now, man. The guy in the past game is absolutely killing it.

Speaker 1 And he's just an all-around football player, man. I've heard a lot of great things about the big Bowers over there in the Raiders.
Well, this is only the second Black Friday game ever.

Speaker 1 People forgot last year, maybe, that the Jets gave up a 99-yard pick six on a Hail Mary at halftime.

Speaker 1 Jake, do you remember that? Just Jake? That was fucked up. That shows me.
That was fucked up. That shows me.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 He said, wow, nothing happened yet. No, but you know what's about to happen.
It's just crazy that he went all that way. Oh, that cut right there would have killed me.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 no.

Speaker 1 Just mix the kicker at the end. Wow, that's not a kicker.
That's a quarterback. Ah, you're right.

Speaker 1 Sorry about that, Boyle.

Speaker 1 All right. Well,

Speaker 1 that was pretty fucked up. We just threw shade for no reason.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the, but this is the type of shit that happens on Black Friday. So we got to come fucking ready and we got to fucking come prepared.
When you guys,

Speaker 1 last time you played against the Raiders on a holiday game, which I would consider Black Friday a holiday game, and obviously. What? You're ridiculous.
You're fucking ridiculous.

Speaker 1 You give Black Friday a dozen.

Speaker 1 It's a holiday game. I mean, Thursday, Friday.
You don't even go shopping, Jason.

Speaker 1 Well, I do Cyber Monday for sure.

Speaker 1 I want to know what the fuck Jason buys on Cyber Monday. I mean, everything.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Does playing the day after Thanksgiving ruin how much you can eat?

Speaker 1 No, because you just

Speaker 1 save everything for after Thanksgiving. There you go.
Leftovers for days, baby. Thanks.
That's one thing Thanksgiving is good for, you know? For sure. You got that ham and those Hawaiian rolls and the

Speaker 1 Chez. Don't do this to me.
I haven't had anything. I'm so hungry.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Andy, this was Andy's reminder. Make sure you guys give more pushaways than pull-ins, guys.
All right. That's what he said.
Pushaways. No, he always

Speaker 1 at this point in the year. Once the holidays start up, everyone knows, like, oh, shit, man.
Fucking

Speaker 1 shit. There's about to be some good food laying around the house, man.
Fuck, man. You got to push that away.
Don't need it right now. I don't need it right now.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you what, I need it right now. I'm starving.

And I was like, what is going on here?

Speaker 1 My wife beat 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 All right, let's move on to some Eagles who played on the Sunday night football game. Are you ready? What's on football? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Sunday night party. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 How about it? How about Eagles 37, Rams 20. Initial thoughts, Jason? Initial thoughts.
Do I have any initial thoughts?

Speaker 1 Have you thought about this one? Yeah. I mean, listen, it was a great game.
Eagles were,

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 It's a little biased. Yeah.
Yeah. No, the Eagles were back to playing unbelievable.
Yeah, it's fun to watch them right now, man. I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 Seem to be connecting on all cylinders, man. I think obviously the initial thoughts that everybody has are that Sagron Barkley is fucking incredible.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He took multiple big runs to the house. The score, 37-20, but

Speaker 1 it was a tight first half. I was actually doing this

Speaker 1 deal. I was watching the game with a bunch of fans at this Marriott.

Speaker 1 Soft plug. Nice.

Speaker 1 Shout out to all the Bondboys

Speaker 1 members out there. It was the tights first half, and then all of a sudden, Saquon just went off.
I mean, he was already going off in the first half, but he went off off in the second half.

Speaker 1 255 yards rushing

Speaker 1 over 300 yards from scrimmage dude i mean

Speaker 1 they couldn't stop him it was and the oh the o-line was fantastic i think i got to give the guys up front a lot of credit yeah you know i know stout those guys pride themselves so much on uh they worked their they worked their asses off and hitting all these things right hitting all the angles right surfacing blocks well together Makai Beckton and Juergens had a really nice combination block on the back side of one of these runs.

Speaker 1 Landon Dickerson had a nice combination block block with Cam Jergens on the back side of it. Both of those guys demolished the linebacker at the second level.

Speaker 1 It was all clicking. The old line was playing.
I mean, of course, it always does when you have a score like this. I was about to say, you put up 255 yards rushing, even though it's Saquon's out there.

Speaker 1 His legs are moving and he's making guys miss. You got to be on the same page as a unit.
And you could tell right now the Eagles are absolutely rolling, man. But they're clicking in every facet.

Speaker 1 The defense is playing really well. Under Vic Fangio, they finally, I think, are falling into their rhythm over these past few weeks.

Speaker 1 I mean, really, when Cooper DeGene went in, they've really played a lot better as a secondary. They're more aggressive.
The defensive line is lighting it up, not just Jalen Carter.

Speaker 1 Now, all these guys are participating. I mean, we lost.

Speaker 1 This is the other thing. I mean, the biggest downer of the day for sure is, you know, losing BG.

Speaker 1 Just tremendous player and captain going down with a tricep tear

Speaker 1 out for the year. And he said it was going to be his last season.
I hope he comes back. I really do.
I think he was still playing at a high level. I mean, I hope he does whatever he wants to do.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the biggest thing. He was still so dominant and so productive.
I know him. I know B.G.

Speaker 1 He's still going to be out there leading them guys, still being around him, still getting those guys right. He only knows one way, man.
He's that kind of player, man.

Speaker 1 Just the constant. I mean, this is his 15th season.
He's been so good for so long in Philadelphia. Yeah, that one stinks.
But outside of that, I mean, the offense is clicking.

Speaker 1 They got a great identity right now. They know who they are.
They're running the ball well. A.J.
Brown, Devontae Smith, Jalen Hurts is playing lights out.

Speaker 1 Things could not be better right now in Philadelphia. When I talked about us getting and Coach Rhea talking about complimentary football, the Eagles are fucking playing complimentary football.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're turning it up a notch in the second half, and that's what you really want to do. You want to start fast and be able to turn it up a notch in the second half.

Speaker 1 It's so much fun to watch, especially when you got Saquon taking shit to the house. This is the sixth player in NFL history to record multiple rushing touchdowns of 70-plus plus yards in a game.

Speaker 1 This is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 That's a fucking LeBron stat, first of all. It's unbelievable LeBron stat, but his cuts, his vision right now, and his burst is second to none.
And it's just fun as hell to watch him play, man.

Speaker 1 And on that touchdown run, nobody sees him, but Britton Covey right there at the bottom of the screen. So Saquon's going to get through the line.

Speaker 1 Landon Dickerson lays out the linebacker, but watch my man Covey, the receiver, the white guy down here at the bottom. The white guy down here.
I mean, I don't know how else to describe him.

Speaker 1 Look at that. That right there, that little block.
That's all it takes. All of a sudden, now it's a 70-plus-yard.

Speaker 1 That's why that stuff is so important. It springs with the same thing that kind of are along the lines that Jay Watt did on Pat's big run at the end of our game, man.

Speaker 1 Guys blocking downfield, those second-effort plays, those are the plays that spring guys

Speaker 1 like Saquon Barkley to go 70 to the house, man. No doubt.
No doubt. Barkley's 1,649 scrimmage yards are second most by any player in his first 11 games with a team, which is fucking unbelievable.

Speaker 1 He's doing it.

Speaker 1 He's your Swiss Army knife right now.

Speaker 1 He can kill you multiple ways. This is his second 70-plus-yard touchdown.
Yeah, just a counterplay. Just untouched.
Just

Speaker 1 misfit it. I don't know what was going on, where they weren't going to be able to do it.
They did a great job of sinking it. And well, he did make a guy miss right there in the hole.
He bounced it and

Speaker 1 got up out of there. Catch a few guys out of their gap, and all of a sudden,

Speaker 1 he's gone. He's gone.
I mean, and that's the thing that makes Saquon Saquon.

Speaker 1 And I think the reason why he's in the MVP race right now, like, he's not, not only is he a good running back, any one of these plays can be an explosive player in a touchdown. And I think

Speaker 1 there's, there's games that have been decided because of him, which is rare as a running back that, like, these big plays have won that many games.

Speaker 1 Again, you go back to this past week against the Rams. Those were the go-ahead

Speaker 1 touchdowns, right? Then you have have the Washington score. He scores a couple touchdowns late to make that game look out of reach.

Speaker 1 And all, like, at least four or five games, he has had key pivotal runs in the second half that have sparked momentum or just given the Eagles the lead. Just throwing daggers into the other team.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And it's that big playability.
It's that... that that huge strike that is just such a good thing.
Even when he fucking jukes a guy and fucking hurdles him backwards,

Speaker 1 even if it's just a first down, it's electric.

Speaker 1 Watching him play play right now, it's like a, it's like a prize fighter just taking shots of the body all day, and then all of a sudden he just takes a haymaker in the sixth quarter or the sixth round, the seventh round, the eighth round.

Speaker 1 And it's just that those are so detrimental to the mentality of a defense, man. For sure.
He's showing a lot of love right now. to the O-line, which any good teammate's going to do.

Speaker 1 He's going to make it about the guys around him, knowing that it's a team game. But he is being singled out for his unbelievable performance, and he's showing all the love to his O-line.

Speaker 1 In quotes, we broke the record. We broke Shady's record.

Speaker 1 He was also on Twitter saying, how about them boys up front?

Speaker 1 And that's what you should do, man. You always got to show love to the guys around you,

Speaker 1 especially when they're literally paving the way for you, man. I mean, when you give Saquon Barkley an opportunity to make one guy miss and he'll go 70 to the house, that's a pretty good fucking play.

Speaker 1 I'll take that percentage of play over a lot of fucking plays in the playbook.

Speaker 1 And if you can find the play that gets you that situation where it's one-on-one with Saquon Barkley and it's a touchdown, I mean, good things are going to happen.

Speaker 1 He knows how much the O-line makes all this thing go. You know, he's been in New York.
He's been with O-lines

Speaker 1 like this. Those boys up front are blocking their asses off right now.
And it's not even just them. Again, tight ends, the receivers, everybody is involved in a game where you dominate like this.

Speaker 1 But for sure, you know, Cam Juergens on out between Landon Dickerson and Makaya Gard, Malada Johnson at tackle. Everybody is is balling out.

Speaker 1 Well, even the Cowboys are mad at the Giants for letting Saquon go.

Speaker 1 Michael Parsons,

Speaker 1 DN for the Dallas Cowboys, tweeted out, I don't even got to say it this week. Y'all know what the fuck I'm talking.
There's a team in the NFC East who let a generational talent walk for free.

Speaker 1 How about that? Yeah, and that would be Saquon Barkley, he's talking about. And

Speaker 1 they might have let another one out. We'll see how it plays out.
You're talking about Daniel Jones? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Dude, that would be hilarious. We got to talk about Quinanimo Bay.
Eagles fans have given DB,

Speaker 1 rookie DB Quinyan Mitchell

Speaker 1 his nickname, Quinanamo Bay, after the Cuban military base, Quantanamo Bay. Sean, that's good.
That's actually really fucking good.

Speaker 1 And this is how nicknames work. You don't pick your nickname.
People pick your nickname. And this is what makes them great.

Speaker 1 You throw it on Twitter. People are going to find a good nickname for you.
Quinyan Mitchell says he likes Quinyana Mobe as a nickname. Nice.
I mean, how could you not?

Speaker 1 Mitchell has allowed less than 30 yards in seven straight games and no touchdowns. Best cornerback nickname since Revis Island.
I mean, dude, it's good. I don't, that's super creative and funny.

Speaker 1 I think that's really good.

Speaker 1 I'm all in on this. All in on it.
And we already talked about Brandon Graham. Shout out to BG, man.
Get as healthy as possible.

Speaker 1 And I think we're all in on you coming back for another year just because we love to see you out there in that 5'5, brother. He did give us a great BG soundbite, though, in quotes.
I have to make sure

Speaker 1 I get out there and be the best leader I can be, like I always do, and let the opponents know how lucky they is that I'm out.

Speaker 1 Typically, I'll tell you what, man. You hear BG, whether he's on the field or he's on that sideline, you hear Brandon Graham on the field, man.
There's just a frequency in his voice.

Speaker 1 You can't miss it. So he'll still be that leader and that

Speaker 1 shit talker

Speaker 1 for the Eagles, no matter what. No doubt.
No doubt. Yeah, I mean, listen, I think BG is on the Mount Rushmore of Philadelphia Eagles, what I would say.
I mean,

Speaker 1 his strip sack is up there. It's the most important play of all time as a Philadelphia Eagle.
He's right up there for the special to secure that first Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 He made one of the biggest plays when we needed it most, and it ended up being a huge point in the game. So I don't know that anybody,

Speaker 1 I don't know, like represents the Eagles better than Brandon Graham. He's just been such a great teammate and person.
And he's been through it all, man. Yeah, he's been through it all.

Speaker 1 He's been here for a long time. I mean, 15 years.
So shout out to BG. Final thoughts.

Speaker 1 Have the vibes ever been higher in Philly? I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I think, you know, Nick Siriani after the game was definitely doing the, you know, Nick Saban, you know, don't listen to the, or don't eat the rat poison, right?

Speaker 1 Like, everybody's going to be telling telling you how good you are. Like Coach knows it, but he also knows that they still, all this is just an opportunity to go out last week.

Speaker 1 They got to double down, continue to get better, and we got to win this next week. You know what I mean? And I think you can't let last week affect how you're going to prepare for this coming week.

Speaker 1 Not a chance. You got to approach it with the same mindset.
We still got to get better. We still got to improve.
We still got to keep being the dogs that we are.

Speaker 1 And I think that, you know, it sounds like Coach is keeping all the guys in the right mindset. Obviously, we got a smile out of Jalen.
Look at that picture. Who doesn't love a good Jalen smile?

Speaker 1 There we go, baby.

Speaker 1 Next week, the Eagles are going to Baltimore to take on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Man, it's like the Ravens.
Big win Monday night.

Speaker 1 We're just playing big game after big game after big game right now. The Ravens had a tough schedule.
I don't know who hated the Ravens, but they got loaded with the tough matchup.

Speaker 1 They're handling it pretty well, though. I'm not going to lie, man.

Speaker 1 That was a pretty good game Monday night, and we'll get to that in a little bit. But

Speaker 1 is this game going to determine the MVP race? Lamar Jackson versus Saquon Barkley. Or Derrick Henry versus Saquon Barkley.
Oh, my bad.

Speaker 1 Derrick Henry is also in awe of Saquon Barkley, as everyone else is. Go crazy.
Gangster.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Derrick Henry and Saquon are, I mean, shit. I mean, if we're being honest, it's probably going to go to a quarterback.

Speaker 1 But I think Saquon's got, I think Saquon and Derrick Henry both have the benefit of the story, right? Like they both have changed teams. Saquon went to a

Speaker 1 bunch of both walk with nothing. How about that? This is what's crazy is that the game has gone back to the line of scrimmage, which is wonderful, right?

Speaker 1 And we're seeing the best teams in the league run the ball really, really well with their controlling line of scrimmage. Controlling the line of scrimmage, controlling the clock, limiting possessions.

Speaker 1 The game's gone back to the line of scrimmage. It's going to be very interesting after this season to see what happens in the running back market, to see what happens in the draft.

Speaker 1 Like now, all of a sudden, is running the ball is being seen as the way to win in this league in some ways, right?

Speaker 1 Between Detroit, between what Philadelphia is doing, what the Baltimore Ravens are doing. I mean, you guys are running the ball more than you've ever run the ball with Pat Mahomes.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If this is the way defenses are going to play, and this is the way the league is now,

Speaker 1 running all of a sudden, running backs, maybe they're maybe that value is going back up all because of these guys right here.

Speaker 1 How about that? How about it? Then you got guys like

Speaker 1 Ashton Gentry over there at Boise State. Oh, shit.
You think he might get drafted next year? Yeah, I think it's still going to be a quarterback draft.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying it's ever not going to be that, but I do think we're seeing firsthand how important having great running backs is. So,

Speaker 1 yeah, I do think it's going to change things a little bit. Let's get to the rest of week 12.
A little bit of chaos in the NFL in week 12, huh?

Speaker 1 Titans over the Texans, Browns over the Steelers, Cowboys over Washington. Vikings need to win an OT.
How about that, man? Those are crazy, crazy losses.

Speaker 1 You already know when November and December hit, man. It's like especially in division.

Speaker 1 In division, teams fighting for playoffs. Everybody sees the light at the end of the tunnel a little bit more.
It's a little bit more meaningful.

Speaker 1 There's a lot more film out there for people

Speaker 1 to diagnose, to understand what the other team is doing.

Speaker 1 On top of that, there's injuries that play into it. New guys having to step up, getting put into the fire for the first time.
There's so much shit that goes on in November and December

Speaker 1 that it's just, that's where it really becomes any given Sunday, man. Anybody can get it.
And

Speaker 1 obviously, these four games right here just

Speaker 1 are just proving that, man.

Speaker 1 Chaos can happen in the NFL, man. Yeah, Titan.
It's just familiarity, right? Like the Browns and the Steelers. The Steelers beat the Ravens last week.
The FC North is always tight.

Speaker 1 Feels like these teams always beat up on each other no matter how good each one of them is. You're going to lose one or two in-division games, no matter how good you are in the AFC North.

Speaker 1 It feels like that every year. Yeah.
Titans over Texans.

Speaker 1 I would, I mean, what is going on? The Texans were supposed to be one of the best teams in the AFC. All of a sudden, last couple of weeks, they've been struggling a little bit.

Speaker 1 Well, I guess they played well last week against the Rams. There we go, Monday night.
Titans, freaking Will Levis, Mr. Manes.
Speaking of Manes,

Speaker 1 lead him to victory. Sure.
Cowboys beating Washington. I did not have that one on my bingo card.

Speaker 1 Washington has been playing life.

Speaker 1 That might have been the craziest ending to a football game.

Speaker 1 For

Speaker 1 Daniels to find McLaren and him to go to the house and then to miss the field goal, have to go for an on-side kick and then to lose it.

Speaker 1 On-side kick return for a touchdown. Punt return for a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Fuck, the NFL is crazy, man. The last two minutes, 49 seconds, there was Cowboys' 99-yard punt return for a touchdown.
Oh, this was electric. Watch this punt return right here.
Whoop.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 1 That's unfortunate.

Speaker 1 RC, mate. Dude, hit the B button.

Speaker 1 Hit the circle. First time that circle and B button has worked in the NFL game since a 2003 Madden.

Speaker 1 RC brought this up on Monday night that sometimes when you drop those kicks, it messes with

Speaker 1 the coverage.

Speaker 1 Everybody goes, you go get the top of their lane.

Speaker 1 Yes. How about this catch by Terry McLaurin?

Speaker 1 I have been an advocate to put in the fake drop fumble. Just drop it on purpose.
You know you got time. Just drop it on purpose.

Speaker 1 And then what play do you think you should run out of the. Are we talking about offense or are we talking about special teams? Offense? You fumble Ruski.
No.

Speaker 1 Center snaps the ball, hits the quarterback's hands, falls down, just like little giants. No,

Speaker 1 you got to make it look like somebody in the backfield is like fumbling the ball on the ground. So everybody then goes like ears back and runs at the ball

Speaker 1 then you put on you put in

Speaker 1 uh the a screen

Speaker 1 screen damn it i'm not i'm not picking up on the screen you don't think it you don't think the screen would work everybody it just it makes everybody collapse onto somebody and then you build a fortress for somebody to run behind i mean i'm sure it works i gotta how is it happening so you snap it to the quarterback snap it to the quarterback he shotgun

Speaker 1 fumbles it fumbles it. Everybody.
What are we running up front? Are we running pass pro? Two jet. Yeah, two jet.
So we're just doing two jet. Snap the shotgun to the quarterback.
Quarterback fumbles.

Speaker 1 Yep. Tell the old line, act like you're stabbing a guy and looking for someone else.
So everyone thinks like, oh, I can beat him. So you're being attacked.
It's like three-step drop.

Speaker 1 We're doing like a three-step drop type look. Exactly.
Okay. Quarterback gets it, fumbles it.
Nice. Picture back up.
Yep. Now the D-line.

Speaker 1 Baby rollout like a panic, like I got to get away from the rush. Throw the screen.
And then who are you throwing throwing the screen back to? The running back? Who are you throwing it to the receiver?

Speaker 1 Doesn't matter. Tight end? Doesn't matter.
Well, it does matter. You're telling me you got a play design.
You don't even know who the ball's going to. Well, I'm not going to tell you the exact play.

Speaker 1 I said I've just been an advocate of faking the fumble and then throwing the screen. All righty.
Terry McLaurin also had a ridiculous catch to tie the game up.

Speaker 1 Well, what they thought was going to tie the game up. And then we had this debacle on the extra point.
Let's take a look at that. There we go, Terry.
Dude, he's a beast. He is a beast.
So good.

Speaker 1 Oh, has that buckeye? Extra point, and the kick is

Speaker 1 yanked it. God, look at him.
Right away, his hands are on his head.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Somebody's got to get him.
And then you return it for the score. Surprise you don't just fall on it.
You can't shortchange those little

Speaker 1 whatever those kind of kicks are. On-site kicks?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's not like the true on-site kick. Yeah, they're trying to bunt it and outrun it to get their first round.
You could shortchange those, man. Oh, you got to get it at least 10 yards.

Speaker 1 That's what you're saying? Yeah. I got you.
Yeah. Well, that is the rule.

Speaker 1 Touche.

Speaker 1 All right. Crazy ending to

Speaker 1 not the best game for the Commanders. Shout out to the Cowboys for pretty much securing the Eagles' victory at the NFC East.

Speaker 1 It would take a complete meltdown for the Eagles not to win the NFC East at this point.

Speaker 1 So shout out. I think this might be the only time in Eagles' history that everybody was collectively rooting for the Cowboys.
Yeah, possibly. Pretty wild.

Speaker 1 First snow game of the year, though, up there in our hometown, Cleveland, Ohio, up there on the

Speaker 1 good snow game. It's the best.
How about it? Huntington Bank, right there on the lake, just sitting, just taking all the weather off the lake and just fucking making it difficult on Dangerous.

Speaker 1 We also had a mic'd-up Jameis Winston, which is always electric.

Speaker 1 180! What's a hunt?

Speaker 1 180! What's that?

Speaker 1 Yeah! Yeah!

Speaker 1 180!

Speaker 1 What's that?

Speaker 1 He tried. He tried so hard.

Speaker 1 What's that?

Speaker 1 I talked about frequency.

Speaker 1 Somebody jump off sides. Damn.
That's so good.

Speaker 1 God, that's good. I love Jet.
Dude, did you see his pregame? Pull that up. Pull up the pregame.
I want this in the show.

Speaker 1 I'm just so...

Speaker 1 How fortunate are we? How fortunate are

Speaker 1 we to be playing up in Cleveland, Ohio

Speaker 1 on this beautiful now. This is football weather, dude.
I love this clip so much. What will it take tonight?

Speaker 1 The horse is prepared for battle, but victory comes from the Lord.

Speaker 1 Peace. To the team.

Speaker 1 Day by day, one play at a time. That's the time.

Speaker 1 Day by day, one play at a time. You're expecting winds up to 15 15 miles per hour in a winter rating.

Speaker 1 How will that impact your ability to throw the ball?

Speaker 1 I am so happy and grateful that the Lord has best me to play in some snow, to be in true football weather in Cleveland, Ohio at Huntington Bank Field today to get him the glory. It's a beautiful day.

Speaker 1 Who is he looking at? It feels like it's a beautiful day at C North. It is.
It's magical. Thank you.
It's a beautiful day. Dude, this dude

Speaker 1 feels it every time.

Speaker 1 Every single time, man. So authentic.
I love James, man. I'm so happy that he won.
Oh, that's awesome. You got to love it, man.
And Cleveland was fucking rocking, man.

Speaker 1 Had everybody with their shirts off enjoying the first day of snow. You got to love it, man.

Speaker 1 You absolutely got to love it. Paisan of the week goes to not Tommy DeVito.
It goes to Baker Mayfield with his

Speaker 1 heckable Tommy DeVito celebration.

Speaker 1 I mean, I didn't know he was this quick with his triceps. I mean, look at those things.
He's firing them up there. Strong man.
Strong guy. Strong lats.
Looks like he's like throwing coins.

Speaker 1 Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Nice.
Yeah, really good trolling there by Baker.

Speaker 1 Impeccable trolling. It's good shit.
He was also grilled about his Italian heritage after the game. I don't know if you saw this, Travis.
I did not see this. What was this?

Speaker 1 It's good. I guess it was the DeVito celebration.

Speaker 1 Tribute. Tribute to Tommy.
Yeah. It's a good dude.
It's got swag. Yeah, who came up with that? Oh, I have no idea.
I just see him do it.

Speaker 1 No, but who's like, I'm sorry, whose idea was it for you to do that? And when did you know you were gonna do it i you know most of the times i don't know what i'm gonna do so

Speaker 1 there's spontaneous stuff i respect it spontaneous that was not planned i mean even your teammates got into it too yeah you know new york fans love tommy here and give him something they like are you are you italian by any chance or no i haven't done a 23and me but i don't know

Speaker 1 Dude, that's professional.

Speaker 1 That's professional trolling by Baker. God, that's funny.
Shake and bake, Baker. Shake and bake, Baker.
Oh, man. That's a spice.
She beat the ball.

Speaker 1 We got to ask Big Dobb if Baker's got this

Speaker 1 the Italian okay to pull off that celebration. There you go.
There you go. The Marshawn Selly is back.
Safeties, Seahawks safety and former Bearcat Kobe Bryant. How about that, man?

Speaker 1 Hit the Marshawn Lynch nut grab. Homer Dick.
Homer.

Speaker 1 On an end zone pick six.

Speaker 1 Man, Arizona had a tough one. Buddy was open, too.
It's a tough, it's tough. But

Speaker 1 when you get tossed one, you got to have fun with it. Homer!

Speaker 1 Not quite as good as Marshawn Lynch. Classic Selly, but that will also get you fined, young man.

Speaker 1 Yes, it will. Yes, it will.

Speaker 1 Told his family before the game if he got a pick six, he would do the Marshawn Lynch crotch grab. Nice.
I'm sure he said crotch grab

Speaker 1 in the end zone.

Speaker 1 Hopes Lynch will chip in if the NFL finds him. This is one week after Jameson Williams did the same celebration.
Jameson was fined $19,670 and 97 cents.

Speaker 1 Marshan was fined $11,050 for the original celebration. This is just, you know, as you can see, inflation.
NFL inflation point blank. How many years ago was the Marshawn?

Speaker 1 I'm going to say it was a decade ago for sure. So it's almost doubled in a decade.
I mean, that sounds about right.

Speaker 1 2013, 2014 was when he was, that's when they were winning Super Bowls. Yeah.
So I think this would be

Speaker 1 i mean 10 years is about the salary cap is pretty much doubled in that time frame or at least close to so yeah that's nfl inflation for you who knows what it'll be uh well probably close to nineteen thousand six hundred and ninety seven dollars

Speaker 1 coach quote of the week from jim harbaugh after the monday night football game against his brother i'd lay down my life for my brother but i wouldn't let him win a football game ever

Speaker 1 it's a good quote it's very accurate and

Speaker 1 I know exactly what you're talking about, Jeff. I know exactly what you're talking about.
I get it. I get it.
I get it. I'll kill somebody for Jason, but he will not win a football game.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to let him win.

Speaker 1 That does it for week 12 in the NFL.

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

Speaker 1 Let's get out of the house. Jason,

Speaker 1 you are out of the house more than I have ever been out of the house. And

Speaker 1 I'm jealous. All right, before we get to New Heights Film Club, let's quickly get out of the house.
Out of the house is brought to you by Small Business Saturday, founded by American Express.

Speaker 1 How about that? Love supporting small businesses. At this point, should we just call this segment Jason Go Home? Instead, because Jason, you haven't, yeah, you haven't fucking

Speaker 1 been in the house.

Speaker 1 You got a fourth girl on the way. Might need you to.

Speaker 1 All right, all right. I got you.
I got you. This was

Speaker 1 a unique situation in some ways.

Speaker 1 In some ways. Jason was everywhere.
Jason, you were spotted on Saturday at Appalachian State

Speaker 1 at the tailgate singing your favorite karaoke,

Speaker 1 Total League Sclips of the Heart. Yep.
You know that I've loved that one forever.

Speaker 1 It's my go-to.

Speaker 1 The Dan Band version. For sure.
Yeah. I mean, even if it's the original version, I'll just sing it like it's the Dan Band.

Speaker 1 I'm singing it like that

Speaker 1 now.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's watch this clip just because it's fun to watch Jason do Jason things. Oh, cool.
Yeah, I actually haven't seen it yet, so I'm kind of intrigued.

Speaker 1 we can take a tiny out of the line.

Speaker 1 You're never letting the shadow on the mountain.

Speaker 1 I always struggle that. All right, all right, all right.
All right. All right, we've seen enough.
We've seen enough.

Speaker 1 You can't start that high because then when you need to go higher, it's just you gotta

Speaker 1 feel electric. That really goes off the rails every time.
But either way, dude, App State was fantastic. Why were we at App State? Good friend of mine, Brandon Beaver, is from Carolina.

Speaker 1 He knows a lot of the people at App State and in the area.

Speaker 1 Big Beave.

Speaker 1 Big Beave.

Speaker 1 He's the best. Beave is the best.

Speaker 1 Either way, from the area. And obviously, that whole,

Speaker 1 you know, Boone County, that whole area has been ravaged by the hurricanes and whatnot. So we felt like there were some stories to be told.

Speaker 1 And, you know, we kind of captured some content around that and people that have, it was just, it's an outstanding story of community, how much, you know, when times get tough, people rally around each other and they've rallied around each other in that area they've rallied around that football team this was their homecoming they got a big win so to be able to be down there everybody made me feel so welcome it was just beyond fun and awesome and uh just a really good trip so i love it man shout out to you guys upstate shout out to go

Speaker 1 to go mountaineers how about it man

Speaker 1 on sunday you were at the uh rams eagles game man you caught some eagles football and played some beer pong a little celeb shot? Got a celeb shot, nailed it. A clev shot fucking drained it.

Speaker 1 Like a pro. Elbow,

Speaker 1 good lean. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Halfway across the table. That's some good shit.
No, no, no. My elbow was back there.
It's just an illusion. Just an illusion.
That's a good point. It's a good point.
The camera. At some point,

Speaker 1 you performed in a UCB improv show? Yeah, Upright Citizens Brigade. A lot of this trip, I went out with the guys that helped me do this late night show.
So we went to Kimmel.

Speaker 1 Kimmel, Jimmy, was able to tell us kind of, you know, the ins and outs of running a late night show the tailgate with the beer pong some of that was grabbing content that we're going to show during the late night show and then upright citizens brigade it was just an idea to go out there and get comfortable in front of a crowd doing like comedy bits right so dude these guys this whole crew was this is one of the funniest things i've ever seen they absolutely killed it it was hilarious They made it super easy on me.

Speaker 1 I just went up there and told stories. It was a blast, man.
It was a lot of fun. And I could listen to Jason Kelsey tell stories for the rest of my life, man.

Speaker 1 That's awesome, though, man. That's awesome.
I love going to stuff like this, man. This is the coolest shit ever.
The best. I would have definitely enjoyed every bit of that.

Speaker 1 But you also starred in a new commercial for Garage Beer.

Speaker 1 How about that? Where did the inspiration come from? This? I don't know. Had this idea.
I've loved,

Speaker 1 you know, this

Speaker 1 just seems like something fun to do.

Speaker 1 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 1 oh man i want a little uh seem like something fun to do look at this guy man holy deep

Speaker 1 dude it was so good man everything is the best

Speaker 1 man just enjoying your life so yep just having fun making uh hey hey hey i needed more feet though i needed i know you did you did tell me you wanted what's that the free willy.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, this is the best part. Everybody's going to turn it off before they get to the best part.

Speaker 1 What's the best part?

Speaker 1 My guy.

Speaker 1 Just bathing in it.

Speaker 1 Just bathing in it. No, the best part is definitely you jumping into this camera like that, all happy as hell.
Dude, it just seemed like something really fun to do.

Speaker 1 I mean, I enjoyed every second of it. Now that we own a beer company, we get to come up with stupid ideas that we think is funny.

Speaker 1 I don't know if anybody thinks anybody else thinks it's funny, but I think it's funny. I think it's pure entertainment, Jason.
I think as long as

Speaker 1 Jason Kelsey's enjoying it and he's showing everybody that he's enjoying it, people are going to fucking love it, man. All right.
I'm going to keep doing it.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, go out there and grab a garage beer

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 see how it makes you feel like this. It'll make you dance.
There we go. Did you have a favorite event over the weekend? Man, there were so many good moments.

Speaker 1 The App State, I would say appalachian state was was the best just because of i don't know what everything that that community has been through and the way everybody was great tailgate we never got the tailgate as well i've been so like i've been getting the tailgate in that's what i'm saying you got the itch to tell you like you're a professional tailgater now well i want to be it's hard sometimes because everybody knows who you are you just want to tailgate but you know either way it's it's a good time and i i think i like connecting with people and that was awesome but there was a lot of great moments um and i think that a bread citizens brigade thing was hilarious Just the creativity and the talent that those comedians had was spectacular.

Speaker 1 Nice. Yeah, Monday Night Football.
Dude, it was busy. I'm definitely happy I'm home now.
And you've got the holidays coming up. You get to celebrate some Thanksgiving with the girls.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But it was a good week. It was a really, really fun week.
I love it, man. Well, you were on Monday night looking like a cinnamon swirl.

Speaker 1 up there with that brown on man that looked real cinnamon swirl yeah you were the cinnamon

Speaker 1 Buttercream, buttercream.

Speaker 1 And that was Out of the House brought to you by a small business Saturday funded by American Express. Shout out to American Express.
All right, now let's get the little New Heights Film Club.

Speaker 1 That's right. Everything you guys have been waiting for.
A little Roadhouse review. New Heights Film Club is brought to you by Burger King.
Go ahead and get your favorite whopper right now. You rule.

Speaker 1 We have to watch a movie this week. Stuart, I'm going to open up my notes.
A little homework.

Speaker 1 open up my notes we've got a bit of programming update uh we've seen how much everyone has loved the new heights film club so we've decided to put it in the regular show we're working out figuring out the the release of the former wondery plus content so stay tuned for sisterhood of the traveling pants potentially but don't go don't worry if you've subscribed to wondery plus we're still going to be giving you guys great content and we appreciate all your feedback And we can't wait to continue putting out those as well.

Speaker 1 But there's been a big appetite for this to be in the regular episode, and we are proud to offer the New Heights Film Club episode this week, Roadhouse, right now. That's right.
Such an iconic film.

Speaker 1 Not the new one. This is the 1989 classic Roadhouse film.
Come on, baby.

Speaker 1 The classic Roadhouse. Hopefully, all of you guys have watched it and you are ready for this review.
It's literally the Jumanji for my parents. Dude,

Speaker 1 that's what I was. It's what I was made from right here.
You kidding me? Nothing like getting

Speaker 1 Patrick Swayze to get things fucking hot and steamy in the Kelsey household. You know what I'm talking about? I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 This is definitely more. This is better than Jumaji.
If you want to get the juices flowing,

Speaker 1 this is for anybody. It's got something for anybody.

Speaker 1 Let's put some Vaseline all over Patrick Swayze's body and let's see where it ends up. All right, let's start.
Where's the film start? So the film starts.

Speaker 1 Frank Tillman owns a barn called the Double Deuce. the double deuce in kansas city the film is it in kansas city dude what yes he's got it just outside of kansas city jasper is right

Speaker 1 this is a missouri based movie dude does this place actually exist i'm i've been looking for it since 89 since i was born brother no

Speaker 1 i have i believe it is a made-up bar all right so Frank Tillman owns the double deuce. You don't know it at the opening of the movie, but you see Tillman walking through an undisclosed bar.

Speaker 1 He's scouting it. Right away, the tone is set.
He enters a rough and rowdy bar with rock and roll music playing, tits on display. No, and it pans to a profile view of our lead man, Patrick Swayze, aka

Speaker 1 James Dalton. That's right.
Dalton. Chiseled jawline, impeccable hair.

Speaker 1 He is

Speaker 1 dealing with an issue at the bar. Right away, we see his controlled demeanor.
Clearly experienced. He handles the situation without igniting it further.

Speaker 1 We see this is a bad man as he is stitching his own arm after being cut with a net blade. Electric.
He is offered the job by Tillman for handsomely payment. I think in 1989, it was handsome payment.

Speaker 1 And he accepts.

Speaker 1 So that's the opening scene being set. Right away, we see this guy's been through some shit.
Anybody stitching their own arm up and they're not like a doctor, they've been through some shit.

Speaker 1 I only remember like one other scene like this, and it was John Claude Van Damme in a movie where he was like cutting out like a like a bruise or some sort of like i don't fucking know what he was cutting out i thought it was like some sort of bruise or something but are you thinking of the arnold movie where he's cutting out the tracker that's in him that's it or when he's like pulling it out of his nose yes that's it these are the either way so back to swayzey swayzee's it's a total this movie starts off and i just i enjoy the music first off shout out to jeff healy dude kills it legend yes absolute legend and stuff i was I've been listening to Jeff Healy music all fucking day is he actually blind yes Canadian so that was that was true to Toronto yes I had to look him up and make sure that this was this was legit and he is as legit as it comes blues rock and roll you name it man dude how about when it first goes into the double deuce and he's just in a cage and they're throwing gear like what kind of made-up establishment is this made up dude these gotta fuck there's 80 places like that exist what you think this is no this is real you take guys you think there weren't fucking rundown establishments like this?

Speaker 1 It was in Blues Brothers, too, I think.

Speaker 1 Like the first bar scene, they get in a fight because some dude says he's going to pay $20 to kiss another woman's tits, and then he doesn't pay.

Speaker 1 I don't got $20.

Speaker 1 And then for some reason, the entire bar fights. And it was just these two guys.
Right away, we get into it. The music, the slang,

Speaker 1 some of the slang, like, dude. The slang.
You're talking about like the one-liners? Just like

Speaker 1 somebody calling somebody else a hot shot hot shot oh i do such a whole dude i was looking at the one-liners dude the one-liners are so good peckerhead peckerhead

Speaker 1 gosh what's uh

Speaker 1 i got

Speaker 1 what about the one-liners the guy says does a hobby horse have a wooden dick dude calling them serves like putting an elevator in the outhouse yeah don't belong

Speaker 1 to say uh What are you doing, Dickless? Well, I ain't about to show you my dick,

Speaker 1 Dick.

Speaker 1 But I'm on my break. Stay on it.
Stay on it. That was a banger.
When he's giving the lecture. So, so, as we get into the movie, he

Speaker 1 goes to this new bar, the double deuce, and he starts to fix it up by immediately canning everybody. He's starting to can the problems, the drug

Speaker 1 dealing lady, the bar back that's stealing all the money, who who ends up being the villain in the movie's nephew and

Speaker 1 starts

Speaker 1 the whole mess behind the scenes of what's actually going on in the bar. Yes.
And

Speaker 1 he's sitting there telling every single guy and every single girl, be nice.

Speaker 1 This is how we're going to do it. When you kick someone out,

Speaker 1 you're nice. What if they call you a name? What do you mean

Speaker 1 they call me what? If they call you a cocksucker. Well, a cocksucker is just two nouns combined combined that elicit a prescribed response.
I love that. I probably couldn't.

Speaker 1 You could have used this advice at Penn State.

Speaker 1 Dude, I immediately thought.

Speaker 1 And I was not going to bring this up unless you did. When I was watching, I was thinking of me.
I was like, God damn it, where was Dalton at Penn State?

Speaker 1 Who would have thought Roadhouse would be an educational movie?

Speaker 1 I love it, dude. But yeah, I thought that was a banger.

Speaker 1 And he slowly starts to change the

Speaker 1 mindset of it and the mindset of everybody in the bar to do things his way. And as he starts to run it, you see all the problems starting.

Speaker 1 And one of my favorite things, favorite lines in it is, it's going to get worse before it gets better, bud. Yep.
And he's been through it before. Khali did it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 he knew it because he went to the tire store. When he bought the car, he bought extra tires because he knew what he was in.
He knew somebody was going to slash his tires. He knew.

Speaker 1 So this ain't my first rodeo. Oh, they went for the windshield, too.

Speaker 1 There's something Zen-like with, I mean, we find out later that he's like a legitimate philosopher, but there's a Zen-like presence to Dalton that just

Speaker 1 is fun.

Speaker 1 There's the one scene where he's doing Tai Chi. I'm not a big Tai Chi guy.
Not a big Tai Chi guy.

Speaker 1 You look good doing Tai Chi. I will say that.
You looked real good doing Tai Chi. If doing Tai Chi like that means I can rip somebody's throat out, I'll fucking start doing it right now.

Speaker 1 Can we just have that? Just have that in the back pocket, just like

Speaker 1 can we talk about the sexuality through this whole film? I mean, I guess we'll get to that later. Let's just keep going through the plot.
Let's keep going through the plot. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The best thing about Patrick Swayze in the beginning of this movie is he is like the poster child for like when you start acting like his gosh.

Speaker 1 Look at that back.

Speaker 1 Look at this scene, though. The fucking the pan around.
You see the beautiful land that he's on. Like, how did he find a fucking rent a barn over here on this fucking property across on a, on a pond?

Speaker 1 Like, you want to talk about a perfect situation. I do love how he just ingratiates himself to the community, to all these just like figures that like need help.
Like he's their protector.

Speaker 1 Oh, he immediately went from,

Speaker 1 you know, saving the, he has to turn this double deuce around to saving the community from this fucking shitbags that have been running. He's a bouncer.
By the way, he's called a cooler.

Speaker 1 Have you ever heard a bouncer called a cooler? I didn't know that was pretty sweet. I haven't heard of that one.
No. Yeah, I like that, though.
It's like you're not bouncing, people.

Speaker 1 You're cool in the situation. situation's down.

Speaker 1 Everybody be cool. I like that.
Chill out. Everybody calm down.
For those of you that haven't seen the film, the film then progresses.

Speaker 1 As Dalton tries to clean up the double deuce, he runs into this gentleman, Ben Wesley, and it's apparent that Ben Wesley is a piece of shit

Speaker 1 and in some ways, some type of underground mafioso where he's got people involved in popularity. Yeah, it's it's they're a part of like this club, strongholding.
If they're a part part of the club.

Speaker 1 If they're not a part of the club and they're not paying him money, then he just ruins their establishment and life. Running the unions.
Yeah, pretty, pretty bad guy.

Speaker 1 There's also a love story to this. That's right.
Oh, Doc. Dr.

Speaker 1 Doc. Dr.
Clay.

Speaker 1 She is, I mean, a smokeshow.

Speaker 1 Fantastic lady

Speaker 1 who

Speaker 1 Dalton meets after the first knife infliction. Well, a second knife infliction on his arm.
This one he he can't stitch up himself. No, this one's in his ribs.
He has to get a stitch up his ribs. Yep.

Speaker 1 Meets the doc immediately. I mean, you could tell they're feeling each other.
They're getting the googly eyes. Yeah.
Why don't you come on down to the double deuce? That's right.

Speaker 1 Let me buy you a drink,

Speaker 1 doctor.

Speaker 1 So they start to, you know, have feelings for each other, and that gets into a whole nother thing.

Speaker 1 And then, yeah, it just continues to like Wesley wants to retain control over the double deuce. Dalton is trying to fix the double deuce.

Speaker 1 And the only way he can fix it is by ridding the double deuce of Wesley's control. So Wesley starts, his goons start trying to pretty much strong-arm Dalton into giving in to him.

Speaker 1 And he's not doing it. The bar's fighting back.
It's getting to a point that he needs help. So his buddy Wade Garrett, played by Sam Elliott, comes on down.
Clearly, they have history.

Speaker 1 They don't get into it too much, I don't think, but they've been through this show before, and it's Sam or sorry, Wade Elliott and Dalton fighting against Ben.

Speaker 1 At some point, it feels like his best friend's like hitting on his girl. Did you pick up on that too? That was a

Speaker 1 dirtbag move by Wade. And then a real aggressive move.

Speaker 1 But I didn't know if he was being probably acceptable back in the 80s, but with showing a lady your pupes, I didn't like he had a scar and he didn't need to unbutton it and show the top half of his pube.

Speaker 1 Like, he could have just flapped down that one section.

Speaker 1 I did not remember seeing Sam Elliott's pubes. Dude, Sam Elliott without a mustache kind of fucked me up, too.
He had a mustache, didn't he? No, he had a beard. Yeah.
That's right.

Speaker 1 It was a full beard. Like, I'm thinking, like, when I think of Sam Elliott, I think of like the mustache cowboy Wesley.
Yeah, you know what it is. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 He's a smooth operator either way, man. He had the locks.
No doubt. From there, things continually start to digress even more.
Things reach a boiling point when Wesley lights fire to Dr.

Speaker 1 Clay's uncle's establishment, and it all starts blowing up.

Speaker 1 To which

Speaker 1 Dalton finds Jimmy Reno, who is

Speaker 1 the right-hand man to Ben Wesley,

Speaker 1 jumps on him riding, was he riding a motorcycle or a dirt bike? Yeah, he's trying a little getaway bike. Little getaway bike.

Speaker 1 Dalton jumps on and spears him off the bike, and then they get into a battle. It's all like I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 Jimmy Reno's shit talking was way better in this battle. Dalton was very simplistic in his shit talking.
Like, all this has happened. He's lit fire to a guy's house.

Speaker 1 He's lit fire to a barn or like house. Jimmy Reno's a big fire guy.
I know exactly what you're talking about. Pyromaniac.
I know. He lights fire to the establishment.
Then he lights fire to the barn.

Speaker 1 And Dalton's had enough. He's like, fuck.
He tackles him off. And then he's like, like, Reno's talking shit to him.
And he just says, you are such an asshole.

Speaker 1 If that's not the understatement of the year.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 that's only the start of it. Well, Jimmy Reno hits him with the line mid-fight when he's got the upper hand.
He thinks he's about to win.

Speaker 1 He hits him with the line, I used to f guys like you in prison, which

Speaker 1 that's a hell of a line to rip out. Can I say something?

Speaker 1 Normally, we don't bleep out curse words because we want this show to be authentic i think we need to bleep out whenever we say i used to guys like you in prison like it just it feels too aggressive to like leave unadultered in the episode and then that was a wild ass

Speaker 1 crazy lie you heard that and then you saw his throat get yankees and then did you see what dalton said after that you know what dalton says to that no all he says back is go fuck yourself

Speaker 1 it's like bro that's not a good you he he won that talking shit. But anyways, Dalton wins with the throat rip, which

Speaker 1 there's this underlying tone, right?

Speaker 1 First of all,

Speaker 1 just impeccable technique on the throat rip. I mean,

Speaker 1 the claw

Speaker 1 just immediately going right for the esophagus and just nailed it. I think there's an underlying through the whole film of this PTSD that Dalton has.

Speaker 1 We learn that he has already previously done a throat rip, and he feels bad that he killed a person, even though Wade tries to remind him that it had to be done.

Speaker 1 And then all of a sudden he gets to this boiling point. This stoic,

Speaker 1 like very controlled man, Dalton, gets to this boiling point and he just rips it out again. To which Dr.
Clay, seeing

Speaker 1 how high of a level

Speaker 1 that Swayze can get to, is just like, oh my God, this guy just ripped the throat out. Maybe I shouldn't be with you i don't need to be around this this is a little bit intense we could have just left

Speaker 1 yeah well how else am i supposed to and uh just when you think it's kind of over i mean i feel like once you once you've proven you can throat rip i feel like usually you would think the bad guy was would go away but not not not wesley wesley goes on to give dalton a call at the double deuce and says you got to choose between her dr clay and Wade oh wait I'm gonna flip a coin I'm gonna I'm gonna kill one of them that's what it is he's not gonna choose flip a coin doesn't tell him which one he goes to dr.

Speaker 1 Clay for some reason leaving Wade like why if you know that he just said I'm gonna kill one of them why not bring Wade with you to Dr.

Speaker 1 Clay I thought that was a big like he fucked that one up take Wade with you just put him in the car you definitely don't leave him alone don't leave him by himself yeah that was a he fucked that one up yeah especially yeah so he leaves Wade goes to Dr.

Speaker 1 Clay Dr. Clay's like listen I ain't fucking with you anymore You just ripped a guy's throat out.
We're not in this together. Actually, I can't be seen with you.
You're a psychopath.

Speaker 1 If you come around here one more time, I will get a restraining order.

Speaker 1 I just saw you fucking rip someone's throat out. That's you were so hot until that.
Now you're just scary.

Speaker 1 I can't believe I used to think you were sexy. You were so hot.

Speaker 1 So Dalton goes back to the Double Deuce only to find a knife in his best friend and confidant's chest,

Speaker 1 to which he loses it and decides to go attack Ben Wesley at his house.

Speaker 1 Wesley's waiting. He knows that an angry Dalton's coming.
Dalton pulls a pretty cool move. He puts a knife in the gas pedal with the car to create a diversion.
Yeah, from about a mile out, too.

Speaker 1 It was crazy. I don't know how he had the precision to keep that card going on the road, the dirt road.
We don't need to ask questions. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But then Dalton proceeds to kill everybody throughout the house, knocks the polar bear on the fat guy, and then gets into an altercation, the final boss battle with Wesley. And he's winning him.

Speaker 1 He's knocked the gun out of his hand a couple times, and he's got him pinned, and he's about to go for the throat rip, and he realizes this is where I got to be the bigger man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's just going to walk away. Can't do that.
Nope. Once you're right when he walks away, like, I don't know.
He didn't know that the other people were there. No.

Speaker 1 That was the universe responding to his kindness. Yeah, but like, how did he, why did he just get up?

Speaker 1 Like, he had to know that wesley was just going to go grab the gun again and try and kill him but he just walks away but and then out of nowhere all of the townspeople are in the house they haven't been referenced people that have been at all fucked over by wesley they haven't been referenced at all the car salesman the the car uh where the what is it the the maintenance shop the yeah the car dealership the owner of the double deuce double deuce the guys that wesley had had a strong arm over the entire time the farmer everybody got their shot in.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they're all just like sitting there. I don't know where they came from.
Like, they knew that Dalton, like, did Dalton call them before he went over there?

Speaker 1 Because otherwise, they would, why would they go to Wesley's house? Because the universe told them to, Jason. All right.

Speaker 1 Well, they end up there, and they each proceed to shoot him with a shotgun in, like, this very dramatic scene. It was beautiful.
That doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 Because he had all the game trophies around the room. Oh, I didn't even think about that.
Yeah, the trophy room. All the animals.
And it had showed all the

Speaker 1 lives he had taken.

Speaker 1 That's one theme. I didn't think about that.
I thought it was just

Speaker 1 a symbol of everybody saying enough is enough. Right.
Anyways, they each shoot him with a shotgun. He dies.
Then a cop comes.

Speaker 1 The first time this entire movie, there's been assaults, there's been stabbings. There's been like people have been knocked unconscious.
The first time you see a cop the entire movie,

Speaker 1 and it's the most inept motherfucker of all time. He's like, What happened here? And everybody's just like, I didn't see anything.
Did you, Billy? I didn't see anything. What about you, Kevin?

Speaker 1 I didn't see anything.

Speaker 1 The only thing the guy said he saw is he saw a polar bear. That's it.

Speaker 1 That was the end of it. Everybody just got away with it.
Me and you, me and you both. We always saw it.
And then Dr. Clay came to her senses because Dalton had saved the town,

Speaker 1 and everybody lived happily ever after. Yeah, and

Speaker 1 he pulled, I'm pretty sure Dr.

Speaker 1 clay's related to the gentleman that uh he was renting the house from favorite scene i think the shotgun finale is fantastic the throat rip scene is great yeah we already talked about the tai chi scene i honestly i just like that first scene in the actual like deuce double deuce it is a good scene showing all the havoc and just the village idiots that are in there every night just drinking the fucking drinking out the tap dude it was i mean it was hilarious.

Speaker 1 It is so good. All right.
Let's give it a PFF grade. Score from one to 10 on cinematography.
All right. Cinematography.
Cinematography. It's definitely dated.

Speaker 1 You know, it's been, it's an 89 movie, but I like the scenes. I like the sets.
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go seven and a half. You're tough.
I'll give it an eight. I enjoyed it.
Acting.

Speaker 1 I mean, I would not say that this is a good acting movie.

Speaker 1 As great as it is, and maybe the bad acting is part of the reason it's great.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give the acting a five.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give you absolutely no emotion at all until

Speaker 1 I forget, until like Wesley actually started to ruin people's

Speaker 1 livelihoods. I think you're right on that.
So what are you going? Is it lower than a five?

Speaker 1 The acting's really bad. The fight scenes are awesome, though.
The fight scenes are great. I do love the the fight scenes.
It's like hilarious.

Speaker 1 I'll give it a six. I'll give it a six.

Speaker 1 Directing, I mean, a 10. It's

Speaker 1 absolutely hilarious. It's not supposed to be funny, but I can't help it.
It's like it's not, but it is. The reason it's a 10 is it's just like everything is maxed.

Speaker 1 And for what the movie is, it's one of my favorite scenes of the entire movie is when he throws the knife in the fucking

Speaker 1 accelerator in the car. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 The gas pedal. Throws the knife in the gas pedal.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And the car goes straight for like a half a mile. Yep, yep, yep.
And then on top of that, not only does it go up a ramp,

Speaker 1 but it starts, it turns over and it fucking

Speaker 1 comes out of it like it was exploding. Well, that's because the guy with the shotgun shot the fuel tank.
That's what was supposed to happen. Like it was like a shooting clay.

Speaker 1 It was just such all right. Somehow we have to have a car going in the air.
That was like the 80s, like, all right, let's do it. Bring it in the uh,

Speaker 1 bring in the blow-up car.

Speaker 1 Like, between the lines, I mean, I know that's writing, but like the directing, like the way everything came together and the just complete hodgepodge of masculinity combined with like sexuality combined with uh, just

Speaker 1 it was just, it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 Did you know the director's name is literally rowdy no that's great all right rowdy harrington shout out to rowdy harrington man i will say plot i think the plot is low i think the plot is high i do i i think i think this was a very very creative plot i don't think this is like that's why i think the movie has been recreated is because the plot of like a guy going in and saving a bar from its fucking

Speaker 1 saving a town then saving a town it's like i don't know maybe i'm maybe i'm silly but i just think that that's not that's not like your typical like action movie i think it's pretty typical action

Speaker 1 plot but i do i mean you're right i don't know it could the plots falls in love with the doctor like if it wasn't done in such like an absurd way yeah it's not like this is like a cop a cop going in and like getting out dirty cops and like like they don't bring the police in this thing at all it's just literally like crosstown like warfare yeah if you take the throat rip out, all the absurdity of it, and it's just the bare bones plot to it.

Speaker 1 Like a bouncer comes in, he helps fixing up an establishment, ingratiates himself to a community, and starts to slowly find out that there's an underground set of bad guys that are really hurting the city.

Speaker 1 And he helps the city muster up the strength and courage to fight back

Speaker 1 and resist that. All right, fine.
You convinced me. I'll go eight on plot, eight on plot.
Nice. I'll go a solid eight with you just because I convinced you.
Character development. dude.

Speaker 1 Again, another one of those, like, like I said earlier, like that first half of the movie, he gives you less is more.

Speaker 1 And, like, that's the thing, those are like the things that I, I, I, I was being told as like getting into like the acting where it's like, less is more. Don't

Speaker 1 do a lot. We don't need to be a lot.
Don't do a lot. We don't need you to be, you know,

Speaker 1 Denzel Washington or like

Speaker 1 Leonardo. Like, you don't have to be the best at this.
All right. Less is more.
Feel the scenes out.

Speaker 1 And that's exactly what swayzee is doing in the beginning he's giving you absolutely just one line one word answers and one word lines no emotion straight face and then by the end of it he is just a out of control just like a trained killer He was an absolute trained killer and showing so much emotion that he couldn't control it.

Speaker 1 That's really what the story ends up being about. This story is about like

Speaker 1 you can only take so much. Like, you know, turn the other cheek, but eventually you got to stick up for yourself.
You got to put your foot down. You got to fight back at some point.
And

Speaker 1 he, Dalton does a great job of holding back as long as he can. And this community has been bullied and taken advantage of for so long.
Yeah. Anyways, character development.
I just don't know.

Speaker 1 I mean, Dalton's character. He's got like PTSD from a previous throat rip.
I just thought he'd be bigger than what he was.

Speaker 1 Do you know how many times I get, I was, I haven't said that my entire career.

Speaker 1 Whenever I meet somebody, every time I've been getting sized up from fucking everyone my entire career, I thought you'd be bigger.

Speaker 1 Go fuck yourself.

Speaker 1 Try and guard me, one-on-one.

Speaker 1 That's what my wife says. All righty.
Character development.

Speaker 1 I enjoyed it. Give me a seven.
Fine. Yes.
We gave you guys our reviews. Hold up.
That's a PFF grade of 7.8. I think that's a pretty solid PFF.
Pretty solid, yeah. What did we give Torcher?

Speaker 1 I mean, not Torcher. What did we give

Speaker 1 think you got an 8. Traveling pants? I think you got an 8.2 or something like that, maybe.
We fucked this up.

Speaker 1 We were being too nice. I blame Jason.
Well, one of them is actually trying to be like a good film. This is just a freaking dudes movie.
It's a great movie. It's so good.
All right.

Speaker 1 Letterbox reviews from the Greek Greek. I used to f ⁇ guys like you in geek.

Speaker 1 The Greek geek. We can't keep saying this line, but I'm going to repeat it one more time.
I used to f ⁇ guys like you in prison is the 80s version of I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I'm not the only one who thought that. Nope, there's a banger.
All right.

Speaker 1 From David Chen. When people talk about how movie executives in the 80s were doing excessive amounts of cocaine, this is the kind of film these executives end up.

Speaker 1 This is very accurate. This is a very good take by David Chen.
Do you think we could get away with a throat

Speaker 1 being ganked out of another human being?

Speaker 1 That's a very good take, David. All righty.
From Ian West,

Speaker 1 80s bar western with a hell of a first act. Then shit starts exploding.
Silver Fox, Sam Elliott, shows up.

Speaker 1 And during a showdown, the villain's henchman says, I used to f ⁇ you guys like you in prison moments before getting his throat ripped out by Patrick Swayze.

Speaker 1 Sounds like at least four stars to me. That's what I'm saying.
We need to bump that PFF grade up to at least an eight. Well, what is a letterbox? What is four stars?

Speaker 1 Is four stars the most you can get out of five? So, I mean, four stars out of eight eight is an eight. Four stars out of five is an eight out of ten.

Speaker 1 So, we're pretty much right on board with where David is. We need to bump this up to an eight.
That's what I said. Um, nice.
All right, either way, we were pretty close.

Speaker 1 I like our score, I think it's fair. Would I recommend this movie? Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 1 I would recommend this to a man. I would not recommend this to a woman.
I would recommend it to a woman if you want to understand how men think

Speaker 1 good movies go.

Speaker 1 If you want to get to the root,

Speaker 1 if you recommend it with that attached to the recommendation, then yes, I would recommend this to everyone. If you want to understand men more, watch Roadhouse.

Speaker 1 It's so fucked up, but it's so true. Like, even the love story with Dr.
Clay, like, there's not like any

Speaker 1 type of substance put to it. She's just really good looking and she takes care of them a little bit.
Like, that's the extent of it. Yeah.
I mean, he reads, and that, that, that'll,

Speaker 1 that'll help you out.

Speaker 1 If you read and you do yoga, he's a gentleman. He's, he's very chivalrous.
