Hey, all right, Amazon.
To holiday magic. Late night show announcement on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week.
We found out that Jason will host They Call It Late Night with Jason Kelsey on ESPN. How about that? Speaking of ESPN, baby, jumping right into it.
Jason, man, what is this is this where does this inspiration come from well I was trying to figure out what to do now that I'm retired and I thought it'd be fun 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 like live setting of people okay and I was like what has that I was like oh 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. And I thought it'd be cool to have a band play some of that music, 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 i guess you are kind of tired 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 and i think this is a fun way to be like, hey, once a week for 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.
The season will be over at that point for some 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. I know you're a busy guy.
But I think it's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be filmed in Philly.

The title, they call it late night, is an ode to John Facenda

in the first NFL films recording ever where he said,

they call it pro football.

So, yeah, it's pretty cool.

All right now.

Would it make it make sense?

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 grow and like you're a conan guy i've never knew this i've always loved conan i mean i'm like i like any of those late night shows to be honest with you me and me and zach always joke around like hey bro you fuck with conan he's so good man so it's always yeah he yeah. Dude, we used to be at the Plunkets at like a sleepover or something like that because we all had like hockey practice in the morning or some tournament.
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 anyways, I don't know why we – Shout out to the Plunkets, man. I love you.
Shout out to the Heights fans, man. Yeah.
So I loved Conan growing up. I mean, I got to see Jimmy Kimmel this past week and – Dude, the best.
I thought it was absurd. It was hilarious.
Yeah, Jimmy was the man. Offered tons of advice.
Yeah, he really is the best. Follow him around all day.
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, how you choose topics, you know, uh, how you prepare. Like it was, it was honestly a very, very beneficial trip to take.
I believe it, man. Got to, got the pleasure of meeting Jimmy over the summer, man.
What a guy. Great dude.
And you could tell 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. Put it on.
98% of the time, it works every time. Who would have thought Jumanji works as good as like Marvin Gaye, man? Fuck.
Hey, listen. Works better than Marvin Gaye.
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. 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.

I think that's a pretty accurate representation.

Nice.

Ellie is happy.

She's no longer the middle child.

Wyatt is like, this is too much.

And Benny is no longer the baby in a few months. But yeah, no, 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. Nice.
I think, you know, we'll see. This might be it.
Might be might be the last hurrah. Yeah, I think, you know, we'll see.
This might be it. Might be the last hurrah.
Yeah. I think four beautiful little girls is very magical, man.
It's a good number. Yeah.
I think it's awesome, man. Before we started having kids.
You can always go for the starting five, though. You can always go for the starting five and just, you know, just field them.
Before we started having them. You can go for just fielding and field, you know?

Before we started having them, 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, I'm done.

It's a lot of work.

I can only imagine.

I mean, I'm really.

Especially back to back to back like that.

It is grueling for me.

I have to do a lot of work.

You're ridiculous.

Get the fuck out of here.

I'll let you do this to Kylie like that.

You know nothing, Jason.

No, Kai's killing it.

No, she always is.

And excited to be a new little baby niece.

It'll be beautiful, man.

I want this baby to come out happy and healthy.

That's all you can ever ask for. That's all you can ask for very very excited about welcoming another child to our already chaotic household um gosh chaos that's 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, yeah, you'll see. She's at a good stage right now.
I love that, man. 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.
Shout out to wave for teaming up with her and, and 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.
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.
If you ask for it, they're going to get it. I love it, man.

Oh, yeah, it is. All right, let's move on to some football.
How about that? All right, 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?

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. Trav, initial thoughts.
Yeah, that was a pretty good Panthers team, man. They've been playing a lot better.
Their offense, yeah. Shout out to Bryce Young.
What 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.
Fair enough to see it man yeah 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 he kind of turned the narrative from the beginning of the season and uh he's got those guys playing really well on offense and they uh they they went toe

to toe with pat mahomes man toe to toe yes they did uh 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 that is crazy like complete walk-offs baltimore cincinnati tampa bay denver and now carolina the chiefs are eight and in one score games.

The best mark in the NFL

and only unbeaten

in one score games. The best mark in the NFL and only unbeaten in one score games.
I mean, listen, that's the Mahomes effect right there, baby. 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. 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 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.
I would love to win a game not by the very last play. Yep, I think that makes sense.
Yeah. 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 and those crucial moments.

And this is why you guys have been so successful 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's going to actually really well.

Yeah.

And,

and,

and that's what,

that's what it was for the majority of the game is. i think it was a full it was a team win uh everybody kind of playing better together i think we uh we walked away with three more times than uh than you would like but at the end of the day pat mahomes uh huge run in the fourth quarter um on that last drive big time blocks by uh Watt.
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 up field and get a bunch of yards. So it was a fun game to be a part of.
There was a lot of kind of learning moments on top top of uh you know us actually going out there making some plays and uh both in the run game and pass game i thought it was a nice balanced attack and uh coach reed was dialing those things up baby well speaking of coach reed uh in his post-game speech he said uh so look i don't want to see anybody hanging their head men this league is crazy you saw it yesterday with college football nothing 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.

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.

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.
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.
You see the separation right there. Pat can scoot now.
i want you to watch jay what on this play though he's uh he's after he's at the bottom left part of your screen when pat starts running hits that guy on the show and then just gets a piece of the guy that was in the flat and gets two gets two and you don't need to get a lot man when 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 uh deception of a speed and that was such a huge play and uh who would have thought that a veteran like jay would have been savvy enough to get to man every good guy gets one every great man gets two 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 fine work find yeah i mean that is what some of my favorite stuff because it's so it's like it's so unselfish and it makes such a difference all the time routine every time so uh love seeing that shout out to jay watt do we have this clip of uh schrader hitting a ref in the head what's this i didn't see this oh after. Oh, after the extra point, yeah.
It's on purpose? Nah, it was just a very unfortunate, like, hit off the net, just fucking bink. Oh! Boing? All right.
That's pretty cool. It's unfortunate for the ref, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, not cool. All right, let's give some Chiefs offensive highlights.
Noah Gray, man, 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, man.
He's coming off over a couple weeks here. Yeah.
Look at this. He's got like four touchdowns in the last five quarters.
Nice. I can't say enough about the teammate he is, the guy he is, the professionalism when he walks in the building building he's in it wholeheartedly all 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 he got a big signing bonus or i mean he got a big contract uh in the beginning of the season uh to show him you know that the chiefs want him here for a long time and um and it fun to see him just take off right now.
And I've been saying it for the past two, three years. 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. He understands the defense.
And he feels those voids very well. You know, when we need it most, cover zero and a second touchdown.
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 he's going to play with heavy hands.
And he just snaps off and goes up top and snags it. and i'll tell 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 de-tackle tershawn wharton caught a kid falling out of the stands trying to get an autograph damn turk i actually saw this and i i just kept it moving i felt bad after once i saw this yeah i.
I'm like over to the left. Oh, I didn't even see you right there.
I'm like, oh, shit. Damn.
Turk, you got him? Hell yeah, Turk's got him. I haven't seen this video, though.
Everybody back to your seats! Man, this is so funny.

Jesus.

I mean, I don't know who the brainiac was to cut the railing right there.

You see how there was like that little gap? There is that little gap just enough for a kid.

What the fuck is that for?

I don't know.

Maybe the Panthers are anti-kids.

Dude, he should fucking go to school with a neck brace on

and sue the fucking Panthers.

Get rich quick, kid. shout out to zershon shout out to turk for uh for making sure that the little guy was all right i once i saw turk was over there i knew everything was good yeah um dude is jason oh the panthers apology i think i do i was i was crapping all over the panthers out that they were the worst team in the nfl uh not too long ago and all of a sudden they're starting to play pretty good football.
Yeah. Bryce Young, dude.
We talked about it a second ago. 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. I mean, it's not like it 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. 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 when it was thrown at him.
He had answers. 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. And sure enough sure enough those panthers receivers the young panthers receivers were up there fucking making plays man and um and made it hard for us and they got a great run game man travis you got a rip hamilton shout out how about that it's my dog man got to got to meet him over at uh f1 miami uh over the summer man what a guy growing up watching him uh throughout his entire stint in the n I mean, NBA.
What's that? All I think is that face mask. Dude, it's iconic.
Absolutely iconic. You know why they call him Rip? I thought that was his name.
Yeah. No, it's the sound of the net.
That's a good reason. That's a great name if you're a basketball player.
Such a good name. Yes.
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 played with Jordan, I believe. And sure enough, the goat made sure he was set with the kicks, baby.
And being a fellow P.E. Jordan athlete now, myself, on the field, still repping Nike as always and forever, I thought it was pretty cool to rock the old Rip City 12s, man, during week 12 of the NFL season.
Rip City. Trav, do you have any final thoughts from this past week? Any final thoughts? I don't know.
Do you want to wrap it up? Feels good to get double-digit wins on top of that. You know, I think we're still growing 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. 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. When it's big- time third downs or red zone opportunities as an offense we score touchdowns um special teams spark plays big time plays in the special teams and uh and everybody just be accountable limit these penalties man these penalties are only making our job harder and uh and i think it's uh i think it's great and it feels good when you when you come out victorious when you're all playing together you know and you can feel that synergy when it happens and um yeah it just feels good to get the double digit wins baby well before we move on let's talk about some career milestones travis kelsey passed antonio gates to become the third all-time receiving yards leader as a tight end only tony gonzalez you know i've been waiting for this to happen so that this never happens again because I'm not touching Jason.
You're not catching Jason. Tony Gonzalez.
I mean, Tony is, I mean, that's such an absurd level. There's no chance.
Yeah. There's no chance.
No, but seriously, shout out to Antonio Gates, man. Fuck.
Yeah. Little Mac basketball Are you kidding me? Some Mac basketball turned NFL tight end, NFL superstar.
So cool. I remember watching Antonio Gates when I was in middle school and obviously throughout the entire NFL career and even playing against the big guy, man.
He's an absolute legend. Learned a lot from just watching his game on film and then playing against him and seeing him on the field and then on on top of that being able to kind of pig his brain when i saw him uh out and about in the nfl world man um and obviously big time shout outs to uh tony gonzalez and jason win because i'll never catch you guys well they do have an insane amount of yards um there's also a lebron stat out there that's right andy reed and the Chiefs are now the third team with 10 straight seasons with at least 10 wins.
I mean, 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.
The Chiefs are playing on Black Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chiefs Raiders on Black Friday, man.
Take on the Raiders on Black Friday, man. It's pretty fitting.
It's pretty fitting. 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.
74 receptions. Do you understand jerry was very old it's honestly more insane that jerry rice was the one who was holding this record the raiders have just been running the fuck out of the ball um this is i mean this is pretty sweet though 74 catches uh at through 11 games that's 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 pass game is absolutely killing it.
He's just an all-around football player, man. I've heard a lot of great things about the big Bowers over there and the Raiders.
Well, this is only the second Black Friday game ever. People forgot last year, maybe, that the Jets gave up a 99-yard pick six on a Hail Mary at halftime.

Jake, do you remember that?

Just shake?

That was fucked up.

That was fucked up.

Just threw him.

Wow.

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.

I would have.

Oh, no.

Just mix the kicker at the end.

Wow, that's not a kicker.

That's a quarterback.

Ah, you're right.

Like,

Thank you. right there would have killed me i would i would oh no just mix the kicker at the end wow that's not a kicker that's a quarterback ah you're right sorry about that boil all right well that was pretty fucked up we just we just threw shade for no reason and we just you know shout out to uh and 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 uh last time you played against the raiders on a holiday game which i would consider black friday holiday game and obviously what you're ridiculous you're fucking ridiculous you give black friday it's a holiday game i mean you don.
You don't even go shopping, Jason. Well, I do Cyber Monday for sure.
I want to know what the fuck Jason buys on Cyber Monday. I mean, everything.
Does playing the day after Thanksgiving ruin how much you can eat? No, because you just save everything for after Thanksgiving. There you go.
Leftovers for days, baby. That's one thing Thanksgiving is good for, you know? For sure.
You got that ham and those Hawaiian rolls and the cheese. Don't do this to me.
I've been editing it. I'm so hungry.
Yeah. And this was Andy's reminder.
Make sure you guys give more pushaways than pull-ins, guys. All right? That's what he said? Pushaways.
Smart advice by Andy. At this point in the year.
Once the holidays start up, everyone knows it's like, oh, shit, man. Fuck it.
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.
Don't need it right now. I'll tell you what.
I need it right now. I'm starving.

I don't know why.

I don't know why.

I don't know why.

I don't know. 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. They seem to be connecting on all cylinders, man.
Obviously, the initial thoughts that everybody has at thequon barkley is fucking incredible uh yeah he took multiple big runs to the house at the score 37 20 but it was a tight first half i was actually doing this do i was watching the game with a bunch of fans at this marriott and um soft plug nice shout out to all Shout out to all the Bonvoy members out there.

It was a tight 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.

255 yards rushing over 300 yards from scrimmage.

I mean, they couldn't stop him.

And the O-line was fantastic.

I think I got to give the guys up front a lot of credit.

Yeah.

I know Stout, those guys pride themselves

I'll show you. they couldn't stop them.
It was, and 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, they worked their, they worked their asses off and hitting all these things, right.
Hitting all the angles, right. Surfacing blocks well together.
Makai Becton and Juergens had a, had a really nice combination block on the backside of one of these runs. Landon Dickerson had a nice combination block with Cam Jurgens on the backside of it.
Both of those guys demolished the linebacker at the second level. 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. Fuck, his legs are moving, and he's making guys miss.
You've got to be on the same page as a unit. And you can tell right now the Eagles are absolutely rolling, man.
But they're clicking in every facet. The defense is playing really well.
Under Vic Fangio, they finally, I think, are falling into their rhythm over these past few weeks. 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.

Now all these guys are participating.

I mean, we lost.

This is the other thing.

I mean, the biggest downer of the day for sure is losing BG.

Just tremendous player and captain going down with a tricep tear 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 does whatever he wants to do yeah that's the biggest thing he was still like so dominant and so productive i know him i know bg he's still going to be out there leading them guys still still being around him still getting those guys right he only knows one way man he's that kind of player man just the constant i mean this is 15th season he's been so good for so long in philadelphia yeah that one stinks but outside of that, man.
Just the constant. I mean, this is 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. 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.
Things could not be better right now in Philadelphia. When I talked about us getting in, Coach Ria talking about complimentary football the Eagles are fucking playing complimentary football yeah 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 it's so much fun to watch especially when you got Saquon taking shit to the house this is a the sixth player in NFL history to record multiple rushing touchdowns of 70 plus yards in a game this is unbelievable that's a that's a fucking lebron stat first of all it's unbelievable lebron stat but his cuts his vision right now and his uh his burst is second to none and it's just fun as hell to watch him play man and on that touchdown run nobody sees it but britain covey right there at the bottom of the screen so saquon's gonna get through through the line landon dickerson lays out the linebacker but watch my man covey the receiver the white guy down here at the bottom the white guy i mean i don't know how else to describe him look at that right there that little block all it takes all of a sudden now it's a 70 plus yard that's why that stuff is so important it springs with same thing that kind of are along the lines that jay watt did on on pat's big run at the end of our game man um guys blocking downfield those second effort plays the those are the plays that spring guys that uh like saquon barkley to to go 70 to the house man no doubt no doubt barkley's 1649 scrimmage yards uh are second most by any player in his first 11 games with a team, which is fucking unbelievable.
He's doing it. He's your Swiss Army knife right now.
He can kill you multiple ways. This is his second 70-plus yard touchdown.
Yeah, just a counterplay. Just untouched.
Yeah, they kind of misfit it. I don't know what was going on, where they thought it was going to hit.
They did a great job of sinking it. Well, he did make a guy miss right there in the hole.
He bounced it and got up out of there. Catch a few guys out of their gap, and all of a sudden, he's gone.
He's gone. I mean, and that's the thing that makes Saquon Saquon.
And I think the reason why he's in the MVP race right now, like he's not only a good running back, any one of these plays can be an explosive play and a touchdown. 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 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. You need to go back to this past week against the Rams.

Those are the go-ahead touchdowns, right?

Then you have the Washington score.

He scores a couple touchdowns late to make that game look out of reach. In 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. Yeah, and it's that big playability it's that that that huge strike that is just such even when he fucking jukes a guy and fucking hurdles and backwards like even if it's just a first down it's electric watching him 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 and it's just that those are so detrimental to a 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 teammates gonna do he's gonna make it about the guys around him knowing that it's uh it's a team game um but he is being singled out for his unbelievable performance and he's showing all the love to uh to his oline.
In quotes, we broke the record. We broke Shady's record.
He was also on Twitter saying, how about them boys up front? And that's what you should do, man. You always got to show love to the guys around you, 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. I'll take that.
I'll take that percentage of play over a lot of fucking plays in the playbook. And if you can find the play that gets you that situation where it's one-on-one with Saquon Barkley and a, and it's a touchdown, I mean, uh, good things are going to happen.
He knows how much the O-line makes all this thing go. You know, he's new york he's been with the lines not like this those boys up front are blocking their asses off right now it's not even just them again tight ends the receivers everybody is involved in a game uh where you dominate like this but for sure you know cam jurgens on out between landon dickerson to makai guard malata johnson at tackle everybody is balling out well even the cowboys are mad at the giants for letting saquon go uh michael parsons uh dn for the uh 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 about Yeah, and that would be Saquon Barkley he's talking about.
And they might have let another one out. We'll see how it plays out.
You're talking about Daniel Jones? Yeah. That would be hilarious.
We got to talk about Quignanimo Bay. Eagles fans have given DB,B., rookie D.B., Quignan Mitchell,

his nickname, Quignanamo Bay, after the Cuban military base Guantanamo Bay.

Yeah, that's good.

That's actually really fucking good.

And this is how nicknames work.

You don't pick your nickname.

People pick your nickname.

And this is what makes them great.

You throw it on Twitter, people are going to find a good nickname for you. Quignan Mitchellell says he likes quinnonimo bay as a nickname nice i mean how could you not uh 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 i think think that's really good.
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. 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 I get it.
I get out there and be the best leader I can be. Like I always do.

And let the opponents know how lucky. In quotes, I have to make sure 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.

Typical BG.

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.

There's just a frequency in his voice.

You can't miss it.

So he'll still be that leader and that shit talker 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, or what I would say.
I mean, his strip sack is up there. It's the most important play of all time as a Philadelphia Eagle.
He's right up there with the Philly Special to secure that first Super Bowl.

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, 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.

He's been here for a long time, 15 years. So shout out to BG.
Final thoughts. Have the vibes ever been higher in Philly? I don't think so.
I think Nick Sirianni after the game was definitely doing the Nick Saban, don't eat the rat poison, right? Everybody's going to be telling you how good you are. Coach knows it.
But he also knows that all this is is just an opportunity to go out last week. 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. 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.
And I think that, you know, it sounds like coaches 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? There we go, baby.
Next week, the Eagles are going to Baltimore to take on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Man, it feels like the Ravens are 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 matchups.
They're handling it pretty well, i'm not gonna lie man that was a good

game monday night um and we'll get to that in a little bit but yeah um is this game going to determine the mbp race lamar jackson versus uh saquon barkley or derrick henry versus saquon barkley oh my bad derrick henry is also in awe of saquon barkley um as everyone else is go crazy gangster yeah derrick Hey, you. 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. 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 an individual rival. They both walk with nothing.
How about – this is what's crazy. The game has gone back to the line of scrimmage, which is wonderful.
Right? And we're seeing the best teams in the league run the ball really, really well and control the line of scrimmage. Controlling the line of scrimmage, controlling the clock, limiting possessions.
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 draft 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 between Detroit between what Philadelphia is doing uh what the Baltimore Ravens are doing I mean what you guys you guys are running the ball more than you've ever run the ball with Pat Mahomes yeah if this is the way defenses are going to play and this is the way the league is now running all of a sudden running backs maybe they're maybe that value is going back up all because of these guys right here how about that how about it then you got guys like ash uh 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 i'm not saying like it's ever not going to be that but i do think we're seeing firsthand how important having great running backs is so yeah 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 titans over the texans browns over the steelers cowboys over washington vikings need to win an ot, man? Those are crazy losses.
You already know when November and December hit, man. Especially in division.
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. There's a lot more film out there for people to diagnose, to understand what the other team is doing.
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. That's where it really becomes any given Sunday, man.
Anybody can't get it. And obviously, these four games right here are just proving that, man.
Chaos can happen in the NFL, man. Yeah, Titan is just familiarity, right? Like the Browns and the Steelers.
The Steelers beat the Ravens last week. The AFC North is always tight.
It feels like these teams always beat up on each other no matter how good each one of them is you're gonna lose one or two in division games no matter how good you are in the afc north it feels like that every year yeah titans over texans 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 weeks they've been struggling a little bit well i guess they they played well last week against the Rams. There we go, Monday night.
Titans, freaking Will Levis, Mr. Mayonnaise.
Speaking of mayonnaise, lead them to victory. Sure did.
Cowboys beating Washington. I did not have that one on my bingo card.
It was. Washington has been playing lights out.
That might have been the craziest ending to a football game.

For, you know, Daniels to find McLaren and him to go to the house and then to miss the field goal, have to go for an onside kick,

and then to lose it with an onside kick return for a touchdown.

Fuck, 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! Whoa! That's unfortunate.
Whoop! RC, mate. Dude, hit the B button.
Hit the circle. First time that circle and B button has worked in the NFL game since the 2003 Madden.
RC brought this up on Monday night, that sometimes when you drop those kicks, it messes with the coverage. Everybody just starts to go get the ball.
It gets out of their lane. Yes.
How about this catch by Terry McLaurin? 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.

And then what play do you think you should run out of it?

Are we talking about offense or are we talking about special teams?

Offense, you fumble ruski.

No.

Center snaps the ball, hits the quarterback's hands, falls down,

just like little giants.

No, 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. Then you put in the reverse screen.
God damn it. I'm not picking up on the screen.
You don't think the screen would work? 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 got it how is it happening so you snap it to the quarterback snap it to the quarterback he shotgun fumbles it fumbles it fumbles it everybody what are we running up front are we running pass pro two jet yeah two jet three jet snap it shotgun to the quarterback quarterback fumbles yep tell the whole line act like you're stabbing a guy and looking for three jet. So we're just doing two jet, snap it, shotgun to the quarterback.
Quarterback fumbles. Yep.

Tell the whole line, act like you're stabbing a guy and looking for someone else.

So everyone thinks like, oh, I can beat him.

And now it's like attack the ball.

It's like three-step drop.

We're doing like a three-step drop type look.

Exactly.

Okay.

Quarterback gets it, fumbles it.

Nice.

Picks it back up.

Yep.

Now the D-line.

Baby roll out like a panic, like I got to get away from the rush.

Throw the screen. And then who are you throwing the screen back to? The running back? Whoever like I got to get away from the rush, throw the screen.

And then who are you throwing the screen back to?

The running back?

Whoever.

Doesn't matter.

Tight end?

Doesn't matter.

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.

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.

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.
Oh, how's that? Bucca. Extra point.
And the kick is... Yanked it.
God. Look at him.
He put right away his hands around his head. 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 whatever those kind of kicks are.
Onside kicks? Yeah, but it's not like the true onside kick. Yeah, they're trying to like bunt it and outrun, like, get there first.
You can't shortchange those, man.

Oh, you got to get it at least 10 yards?

That's what you're saying?

Yeah.

I got you.

Yeah, well, that is the rule.

Touche.

All right.

Crazy ending to not the best game for the Commanders.

Shout out to the Cowboys for pretty much securing the Eagles' victory

of the NFC East. It would take a complete meltdown for the Eagles not to win the cowboys for uh pretty much securing the eagles victory of the nfc east this one it would take a complete meltdown for the eagles not to win the nfc east at this point uh 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 first snow game of the year though up there in our hometown cleveland ohio up there on the lake a good snow game it's

the best how about a huntington bank right there on the lake just sitting just taking all the weather off god that's good.

I love it.

Dude, did you see his pregame?

Pull that up.

Pull up the pregame.

I want this in the show.

I'm just so.

How fortunate are we?

How fortunate are we?

How fortunate are we to be playing up in Cleveland, Ohio.

Ohio.

On this beautiful.

Now, this is football weather.

Dude. I love this clip so much.
What will it take tonight? The horse is prepared for battle. But victory comes from the Lord.
Preach. Preach.
To the team. Day by day, one play at a time.
Day by day, one play at a time. We're expecting winds up to 15 miles per hour.
How will that impact your ability to throw the ball? I am so happy and grateful that the Lord has blessed 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. Who is he looking at? It feels like you're playing at the AFC North.
It is. It's magical.
Thank you. It's a beautiful day.
Dude, this dude kills it every time. Every single time, man.
So authentically himself, man. I'm so happy they won.
Oh, that's awesome. You got to love it, man.
And Cleveland was fucking rocking, man. Had everybody with their shirts off enjoying the first day of snow.
You gotta love it, man.

You absolutely gotta love it.

Paisan of the week goes to not Tommy DeVito.

Goes to Baker Mayfield

with his impeccable

Tommy DeVito celebration.

I didn't know he was this quick

with his triceps. I mean, look at those things.

He's firing them up. Strong man.
Strong guy.

Strong lats. Looks like he's throwing coins.
Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Nice.
Yeah, really good trolling there by Baker. 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 about? It's good. I guess it was the DeVito celebration.
Isute. Tribute to Tommy.
Yeah. He's a good dude.
He's got swag. Yeah, who came up with that? Oh, I have no idea.
I just see him do it. No, but who's like, I'm sorry, whose idea was it for you to do that? And when did you know you were going to do it? You know, most of the times I don't know what I'm going to do, so.
There's spontaneous stuff. I respect it.
That was 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 italian by any chance or no i haven't done a 23 and me but dude that's professional i fucking love that that's professional trolling by baker god that's funny shake and bake baker shake and bake oh man that's a spicy beat the ball we gotta ask big dom if uh baker's got this uh uh the the italian okay to pull off that celebration there you go there you go the marshawn selly is back safeties uh seahawks safety and former bearcat kobe bryant how about that man? Hit the Marshawn Lynch nut grab. Hold my dude.
Hold my dude. On an end zone pick six.
Man, Arizona had a tough one. Buddy was open, too.
It's tough. It's tough.
But when you get tossed one, you got to have fun with it. Hold my dude.
Not quite as good as Marshawn. Classic Selly, but that will also get you fined young man yes yes it will uh told his family before the game if he got a pick six he would do the marshawn lynch uh crotch grab nice i'm sure he said crotch grab in the end zone hopes hopes lynch will uh chip in if the nfl finds him this is one week after jon Williams did the same celebration.
Jameson was fined $19,697. Marshawn 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? I'm going to say it was a decade ago for sure it's almost doubled in a decade i mean that sounds about right 2013 2014 was when he was that's when they were winning superbowls yeah so i think this would be i mean 10 years is about a salary cap it's pretty much doubled in that time frame or at least close to so yeah that's nfl inflation you. Who knows what it'll be? It'll probably be close to $19,697.
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.
It's a good quote. It's very accurate.

I always struggled up. All right.
All right. All right.
We've seen enough right we've seen enough we've seen enough you can't start that high because then when you need to go higher it's just you gotta that is still electric that really it goes off the rails every time but either way uh dude app state was fantastic why were we at app state good of mine, Brandon Beaver, is from Carolina. He knows a lot of the people at App State and in the area.
Big Beave. Big Beave.
Brandon Beaver. He's the best.
Beave is the best. Either way, from the area, and obviously that whole, 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.

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 just a really good trip.

I love it, man.

Shout out to you guys, App State.

Shout out to App State.

Way to go, Mountaineers.

How about it, man?

Fuck.

On Sunday, you were at the Rams-Eagles game, man. You caught some Eagles football and then played some beer pong.
A little celeb shot. Got a celeb shot.
Nailed it. A celeb shot and fucking drained it.
Drained it. Like a pro.
Elbow. Good lean.
Oh, yeah, baby. Halfway across the table.
That's some good shit. No, no, no.
I just walked out. My elbow was back there.
Just an illusion. Just an illusion.
That's a good point. That's a good point.
The camera. At some point, 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.
Kimmel, Jimmy was able to tell us kind of 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 citizen brigade.

It was just an idea to go out there and get comfortable in front of a cat,

a crowd doing like comedy bits.

Right.

So 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.

I just went up there and told stories.

It was a blast, man. It was a lot of fun.
I to jason kelsey tell stories for the rest of my life man um 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 but you also starred in a new commercial for garage beer how about that where did the uh inspiration come from this i don't know had this idea of i've loved uh you know this just seemed like something fun to do hey hey hey hey hey oh man i want a fucking little...

It seemed like something fun to do.

What can't you do?

Dude, it was so good, man.

Everything is the best.

So, yeah, just having fun.

Hey, hey, hey.

I needed more feet, though.

I needed...

You did tell me you wanted to... me what's that the free willy wait for this is the best part everybody's going to turn it off before they get to the best part watch the best part my guy bathing in it just bathing in it now the best part is definitely you jumping into the camera like that all happy as hell dude it just seems like something really fun to do 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 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 yeah i think as long as as long as jason kelsey's enjoying it and he's showing everybody that he's enjoying it people are gonna fucking love it man all right i'm gonna keep doing it so uh yeah go out there and grab a garage beer and um see how it makes you feel like this it'll make you dance there we go did you have a favorite event over the uh weekend man there were so many moments the app state i would say appellate appalachian state was was the best just because of i don't know what everything that that community's been through and we never get the tailgate we never got the tailgate as it's like i've been so like i've been getting the tailgate 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.
It's hard sometimes because everybody knows who you are. You just want to tailgate.
But, you know, either way, it's a good time. And I like connecting with people, and that was awesome.
But there was a lot of great moments. And I think that the Citizens Brigade thing was hilarious.
Just the creativity and the talent that those comedians had was spectacular. Nice.
Yeah. Monday Night Football.

Open up my notes.

We've got a bit of programming update.

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 release

Thank you. We've got a bit of programming update.
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 release of the former Wondery Plus content, so stay tuned for Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants potentially.
But 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 as well 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 not the new one this is the 1989 classic roadhouse film come on baby the class 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 it's it's what i was it's what i was made from right here you kidding me nothing like getting you know patrick swayze to get things fucking hot and steamy in the in the kelsey household what I'm talking about? I'm not going to lie.
This is definitely more. This is better than Jumanji.
If you want to get the juices flowing. This is for anybody.
It's got something for anybody. 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 does the film start? So the film starts. Frank Tillman owns a bar called The Double Deuce.
The Double Deuce in Kansas City. Is it in Kansas City? Dude, what? Yes, he's got it just outside of Kansas City.
Jasper. That's right.
This is a Missouri-based movie, dude. Does this place actually exist? I've been looking for it since 89, since I was born, brother.
No, I believe it is a made-up bar.

All right.

So Frank Tillman owns a Double Deuce.

You don't know it at the opening of the movie, but you see Tillman walking through an undisclosed bar.

He's scouting.

Right away, the tone is set. He enters a rough and rowdy bar with rock and roll music playing tits on display.

Oh, yeah.

And it pans to a profile view of our lead man, Patrick Swayze, a.k.a. James Dalton.
That's right. Dalton.
Chiseled jawline, impeccable hair. He is dealing with an issue at the bar.
Right away, we see his controlled demeanor. Clearly experienced, he handles the situation without igniting it further.
we see this is a bad man as he is stitching his own arm after being cut with a blade. Electric.
He is offered the job by Tillman for handsomely payment. I think in 1989, it was handsome payment.
And he accepts. So that's the opening scene being set.
Right away, we see this guy's been through some shit through some shit anybody stitching their own arm up and they're not like a doctor they've been through some shit i only remember like one other scene like this and it was 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 swayze swayze's it's a total recall 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 it's i would I've been listening to Jeff He the music. First off, shout out to Jeff Healy.
Dude, kills it. Legend.
Yes. Absolute legend.
I've been listening to Jeff Healy music all fucking day. Is he actually blind? Yes.
Canadian. So that was true to far.
From Toronto. Yes.
I had to look him up and make sure that this was legit. And he is as legit as it comes.
Blues, rock and roll, you name it, man. How about when it first goes into the double deuce and he's just in a cage and they're throwing gear like like what kind of made up establishment is this made up dude he's got a fuck there's no way places like that exist what you think this is no this is real you think guys you think there weren't fucking rundown establishments like this it was in blues brothers too i think the the 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 it.
I don't got $20. And then, for some reason, the entire bar fights.
It was just these two guys. Right away, we get into it.
The music, the slang, some of the slang, like, dude. The slang? You're talking about like the one liners just like somebody calling somebody else a hot shot hot shot oh i didn't even dude i was looking at the one-liners dude the one-liners are so good peckerhead peckerhead gosh what's uh i got what about the one-liners guy says, does a hobby horse have a wooden dick? Dude, call me sirs like putting an elevator in the outhouse.
Don't belong. What are you doing, dickless? Well, I ain't about to show you my dick.
Dickless. But I'm on my break.
Stay on it. Stay on it.
That was a banger. When he's giving the lecture.
So as we get into the movie, he 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 dealing lady, bar back that's uh stealing all the money who uh who ends up being the the villain in the movie's uh nephew and uh starts starts to the the whole mess behind the scenes of uh what's actually going on in the bar yes um and he's uh he's sitting there telling every single guy or and every single girl be nice this is're going to do it.
When you kick someone out, you're nice. What if they call you a name? What do you mean? They call me what? If they call you a cocksucker.
Well, a cocksucker is just two nouns combined that elicit a prescribed response. I love that.
I probably could use this advice at Penn State. Dude, I immediately thought that I i was not gonna bring this up unless you did when i was watching i was thinking of me i was like god damn it where was dalton to penn state who would have thought roadhouse would be an educational movie oh i love it dude but uh yeah i thought that was a banger um and he uh he slowly starts to like change the mind mindset of it and the mindset of everybody in the bar yeah to uh to do things his way and as he starts to run it um you see all the problems starting and one of my favorite things favorite lines in it is it's gonna get worse before it gets better bud yep and um he's been through it before golly did it yeah and he had and he knew it because he went to the tire store.
When he bought the car, he bought extra tires because he knew somebody was going to slash his tires. He knew.
This ain't my first rodeo. Oh, they went for the windshield, too.
There's something Zen-like. I mean, we find out later that he's a legitimate philosopher, but there's a Zen-like presence to Dalton that just is fun.

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.

He looked good doing Tai Chi.

I will say that.

He 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.

Can we talk about that? Just have that in the back pocket. Just like.
Can we talk about that just have that in the back pocket just like 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 the best thing about patrick in the beginning of this movie is he is like the poster child for like when when you start acting oh my gosh look at that back look at this 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 pond like you want to talk about a perfect situation i do love how he just ingratiates himself to the community to all these these just like figures that like need help. Like he's their protector.
Oh, he immediately went from, you know, saving the, he has to turn this double deuce around to saving the community from this fucking shit bags that have been running it for forever. He's a bouncer.
By the way, he's called a cooler. Have you ever heard a bouncer called a cooler? I didn't know.
That was pretty sweet. I haven't.
I haven't heard of that one, no. Yeah, I like that, though.
It's like you're not bouncing people. You're cool in the situation style.
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. As Dalton tries to clean up the double deuce, he runs into this gentleman, Ben Wesley.
And it's apparent that Ben uh is a piece of shit uh and in some ways some type of underground mafioso where he's got people involved in every yeah it's it's they're a part of like this club stronghold on the community club if they're not a part of the club and they're not paying them money then he just ruins their establishment alive running the unions yeah pretty pretty bad guy um there's also a love story to this that's right oh doc doctor doctor clay that's right she is i mean a smoke show that's a fantastic lady um who dalton meets after the first uh knife inflection well second knife inflection on arm. This one he can't stitch up himself.
No, this one's in his ribs. He has to get to stitch up his ribs.
Yep. Meets the doc immediately.
I mean, you could tell they're feeling each other. They're getting the googly eyes.
Why don't you come on down to the double dude? That's right. Let me buy you a drink, drink doctor so they start to you know have feelings for each other and that gets into a whole nother thing um 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 and 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.

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.

They don't get into it too much, I don't think but uh they've been through this show before and it's Sam or sorry Wade Elliott and Dalton uh fighting against Ben uh 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 very interesting move by wade and then a real

aggressive but i didn't know if he was being probably acceptable back in the 80s but with showing a lady your pubes i didn't like he had a scar and he didn't need to unbutton it and show the top half of his pubic like he could have just flapped down that one section 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 it was a full like i'm thinking like when i think of sam elliott i think of like the mustache cowboy western yeah you know what it is yeah for sure he's a 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. Clay's uncle's establishment, and it all starts blowing up, to which Dalton finds Jimmy Reno, who is the right-hand man to Ben Wesley, jumps on him riding.
Was he riding a motorcycle or a dirt bike? Yeah, he was trying a little getaway bike. Little getaway bike.
Dalton jumps on him, spears him off the bike, and then they get into a battle. It's all like that.
I'm not going to lie. Jimmy Reno's shit-talking was way 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 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 lights fire to the establishment then he lights fire to the barn and dalton's had enough.
He's like, fuck. He tackles him off, and then Reno's talking shit to him, and he just says, you are such an asshole.
If that's not the understatement of the year. Yeah.
And then Jimmy. 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.
He hits him with the line mid-fight when he's got the upper hand he thinks he's about to win he hits him with the line i used to guys like you in prison which that's a hell of a line to rip out can i say something normal 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 unadulterated in the episode and then that was a fucking wild ass i wasn't expecting crazy line you heard that and then you saw his throat get yanked out did you see what said after you know what dalton says to that no all he says back is go fuck yourself it's like bro that's not a good he won that talking shit but anyways dalton wins with the throat grip which there's this underlying there's this underlying tone yeah right i first of all i just impeccable technique on the throat grip i mean the hand the claw like just immediately uh going right for the esophagus And he just nailed it. I think there's an underlying through the whole film of this PTSD that Dalton has.
We learn that he has already previously done a throat grip. And he feels bad that he killed a person, even though Wade tries to remind him that it had to be done.
And then all of a sudden he gets to this boiling point. This stoic, like very controlled man.
Dalton gets to this boiling point and he just rips it out again. To which Dr.
Clay seeing how high of a level that Swayze can get to is just like, oh my God, this guy just ripped the throat out? Maybe I shouldn't be with this guy. I don't need to be around this.
This is a little bit intense. We could have just left.
Yeah. Well, how else am I supposed to be? And just when you think it's kind of over.
I mean, I feel like once you've proven you can throat rip i feel like usually you would think the bad guy was it 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 it's not gonna flip a a coin doesn't tell him which one he goes to dr 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 clay i thought that was a big like you 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 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're a psychopath if you come around here one more time i will get a restraining order okay i just saw you fucking rick someone's throat out that's you were so hot until that now you're just scary i I can't believe I used to think you were sexy. You were so hot.
So Dalton goes back to the double deuce only to find a knife in his best friend and confidant's chest to which he loses it and decides to go attack Ben Wesley at his house. 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.
It was crazy. I don't know how he had the precision to keep that car going down the road, the dirt road.
We don't need to ask questions. Yeah.
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.
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.
I'm just going to walk't do that no once you're right when he walks away like i don't know he didn't know that the other people were there no that was the universe responding to his kindness yeah but like how did he why did he just get up like he had to know that wesley was just gonna 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 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 a strong arm over

the entire time the farmer everybody got their shot in 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 because otherwise they would why would they go to wesley's house because the

universe told them to jason all right well they end up there and they each proceed to shoot him

with a shotgun and like this very dramatic scene it was beautiful that doesn't make any sense

Thank you. Because the universe told them to, Jason.
All right. Well, they end up there, and they each proceed to shoot him with a shotgun in this very dramatic scene.
It was beautiful. That doesn't make any sense.
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 lives he had taken. That's one theme.
I didn't think about that. I thought it was just like a symbol of like everybody saying enough is enough.
Right? Anyways, they each shoot him with a shotgun. He dies.
Then a cop comes. 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. they said most inept motherfucker of all time is 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 i didn't see anything i didn't see anything the only thing the guy said he saw is he saw a polar bear that's it that was the end of it everybody just got away with it me and you me and you both we always saw and then dr clay clay came to her senses because dalton had saved the town um and everybody lived happily ever after yeah and he pulled he pulled i'm pretty sure dr clay's related to the gentleman that uh he was renting the house from favorite 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.

Double deuce.

It is a good scene.

Showing all the havoc and just the fucking village idiots that are in there

every night just drinking the fucking, drinking out the tap. Dude, it was, I mean, it was hilarious.
Oh, gosh. That is so good.
All right. Let's give it a PFF grade.
Score from 1 to 10 on cinematography. All right.
Cinematography. It's definitely dated.
It is. It's an 89 movie, but I like the scenes.
I 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 i mean i would not say that this is a good acting movie as great as it is and maybe the bad acting is part of the reason it's great um i'm gonna give the acting a five i'm gonna give it a five absolutely no emotion at all until until i forget until like wesley actually started to like ruin like people's like livelihoods i think you're right on that so what are you going is it lower than a five it was the acting's really bad the fight scenes are awesome though the fight scenes are great i do love the fight scene it's like hilarious i'll give it a six i'll give it a six all right directing i mean a 10 it's absolutely hilarious it's not supposed to be funny but i can't help it it's like it's not it's not but it is the reason it's a 10 is it's just like everything is max 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 uh the accelerator in the car yes yes the the gas pedal throws the knife in the gas pedal yeah 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 but it starts turns over and it's fucking out of it like it was being exploded well that's because the guy with the shotgun shot the the fuel tank that's what it was supposed to happen like it was like a like a shooting clay it was just such just 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 bring in the the blow-up car 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 sexuality, combined with just, it was just, it's fantastic. Did you know the director's name is literally Rowdy? No.
That's great. All right.
Rowdy Harrington. Shout out to Rowdy Harrington, man.ton 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 it's because the plot of like a guy going in and saving a bar from it's fucking 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.
I'll go plot. But I do.
I mean, you're right. I don't know.
It could. The plots falls in love with the doctor.
If it wasn't done in such an absurd way.

Yeah. It's not like this is a cop going in and getting out dirty cops.
They don't bring the police in this thing at all. It's just literally cross-town warfare.
Yeah, if you take the throat rip out, all the absurdity of it,

and it's just the bare bones plot to it, 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 uh an underground set of bad guys that are really hurting the city and he helps the city uh muster up the strength and courage to fight back uh and resist that all right fine you convince me i'll go eight on plot eight. Nice.
I'll go a solid eight with you just cause I convinced you character development, dude. Again, another one of those, like, like I said earlier, like that first half of the movie, he gives you less is more.
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 worth, less is more don't do a lot we don't

need don't do a lot we don't need you to be you know denzel washington or like leonardo like you don't have to be the best at this all right less is more feel the scenes out and that's exactly what swayze 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 an 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.
That's really what the story ends up being about. This story is about like, 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

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.

I mean, Dalton's character, he's got like PTSD

from a previous throat rip. I just

Thank you. bullied and taken advantage of for so long.
Yeah. Anyways, character development.
I just don't know. 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.
Do you know how many times I can? I was, I haven't said that my entire career, whenever I meet somebody. Every time.
I'm getting sized up from fucking everyone my entire career. Thought you'd be bigger.
Yeah. Go fuck yourself.
Try and guard me one-on try and guard me 101 so my wife says all righty uh character development i enjoyed 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 uh torture i mean I don't. What did we give? I think you got an 80.
Traveling Pants. I think that's a pretty solid PFF.
It's pretty solid, yeah. What did we give Torture? What did we give Traveling Pants? I think we got an 8.2 or something like that maybe? We fucked this up.
You're 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.
Alright. Letterbox greek creek i used to guys like you the greek geek i can't we can't keep saying this line but i'm gonna repeat it one more time i used to guys like you in prison is the 80s version of i eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast okay so i'm not the only one who thought that nope it's a banger all rightanger.
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 making. This is very accurate.
This is a very good take by David Chen. Do you think we could get away with the throat being yanked out of another human being.
That's a very good take, David.

All righty.

From Ian West, 80s bar Western with a hell of a first act.

Then shit starts exploding.

Silver Fox Sam Elliott shows up.

And during a showdown, the villain's henchman says,

I used to f*** guys like you in prison.

Moments before getting his throat ripped out by Patrick Swayze.

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?

Is four stars the most you can get out of five?

So,

I mean,

four stars out of eight is an eight.

Four stars out of five is an eight out of 10.

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.
Nice. All right.
Either way so we're pretty much right on board with where david is to pump this up to an eight that's what i said um nice all right either way we're pretty close i like our score i think it's fair would i recommend this movie yes absolutely 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 uh good movies go if you want to get to the root of like what? 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.
It's so fucked up and it's so true. Like even the love story with Dr.
Clay, like there's not like any type of substance put to it. She's just really good looking and she takes care of him a little bit.
Like that's the extent of it. Yeah.
I mean, he reads and that'll help you out. If you read and you do yoga.
He's a gentleman. He's very chivalrous.
