Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. That's right, you know them, you love them.
And let's be real, you probably have a stash hidden somewhere right now. Tell me about it.
Reese's cracked the code and literally created the perfect combo. We're talking about the chocolate shell, creamy peanut butter center.
There is something special about unwrapping that orange packaging and sinking your teeth into a Reese's cup. That's right.
That epic combo has been something that has been a go-to snack for many, no matter what they're doing. And here's a pro tip from two Reese's pros here.
Try keeping your Reese's cups in the fridge. It keeps that chocolatey goodness nice and chilled for you.
But be sure to hide it all the way in the back so nobody can take it. You know what I'm saying? Can't have Ed Kelsey sneaking in there at 3 a.m.
stealing your stash. That's right.
So why wait? See why Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are our favorite. Buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups now at a store near you.
Found literally anywhere you can find candy. All righty.
Thank you to our partner, Mentos Gum. You ever feel like you were just going through the same motions day after day? Yeah, we've all been there, staring at, you know, brake lights and traffic or stuck in a long meeting.
Not anymore with Mentos gum. Listen up.
This isn't just regular gum. We're talking about a whole vibe refresh.
Think of it as your personal reset button. One piece and suddenly that traffic jam becomes your private concert venue.
That's right. That meeting, that should have been an email.
Well, it turns out into a full-on fiesta. Oh, nice.
From flavors like fresh mint to bold strawberry, Mentos Gum transforms ordinary moments into fresh possibilities. Whether you want to switch up your route home or keep your mind fresh in a meeting,

refresh the everyday with Mentos Gum.

You know, I've been a fan of the Mentos

since the Freshmaker era in the 90s, man.

I'm way off.

That was way flat.

That was all we needed though.

That's exactly what it was. Thank you.
Fresh and full of life. Full of life.
I don't think I'm getting this. Fresh goes better with mentos, fresh and full of life.
There you go. That was beautiful.
I'll take it down to Key. Yes, to Fresh with Mentos gum.
That fucking

glare coming through that end zone

in the afternoon is fucking

ridiculous. Jerry

Jones was asked about the possibility of

putting up curtains to block out the sun at

AT&T Stadium. He said, well, where's the moon?

I need to hear this quote. What the

fuck is Jerry talking about? I need to hear this quote to understand what the fuck he just said. Welcome back to New Heist, ladies and gentlemen.

Jason, tell the people what us idiots are going to talk about today. Well, all the idiots listening, we have a fantastic episode lined up for all of you.
That's right. We're going to talk about the Chiefs' walk-off blocked field goal, the Eagles' blowout of the Cowboys.
Again. Sorry there, Brandon.
And also get to my time out of the house in L.A. Plus, we're going to hit the biggest storylines, of course, from across week 10 of the NFL.
I think we got to start with something we usually start with first. What's that? It's not old.
It's not. It's not late.
It's not. It's not a hand-me-down.
It's not not new. It's not not new.
That's because it is new. It's new news.
New news. Hey, new news is brought to you by MetaQuest.
Expand your world. Yes.
All right, New Heights Film Club. First item of new news.
92% is voted in the next movie. And the New Heights Film Club is Roadhouse.
That's right. Shut the fuck up.
We're doing the original, right? Yeah, I'm not doing the new. I have not watched it yet.
And I probably am, based on the reviews I've heard from others, not going to watch it. The original ones are so good, man.
There's some movies that you just can't remake, and I think Roadhouse is... You can't redo Swayze.
You can't, dude. There's nobody around that can do Swayze.
So, yeah. It was a tight race.
I'm lying. It wasn't a tight race at all.
Roadhouse almost got half of the votes. It got 41% of four...
That's what we're talking about, 92%. That's what I'm talking about it was the clear favorite and i mean let's be honest i think of all these movies roadhouse is the most like iconic and that's why i probably won predator is by far the most iconic more than roadhouse you think oh guaranteed i think people i think you're interested because patrick swayze they wereze.
They were like, all right, which one has the hottest guy?

Well, which one has the hottest guy?

Predator's got the hottest guys.

You got Carl Weathers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura.

Come on now.

That's a lot of man.

There's no way.

Oh, yeah.

There's no way.

None of them are Swayze.

Don't underestimate too.

Not a, oh my gosh.

What's the other guy in

Roadhouse? What's his name? I can't think of his name right now.

The cowboy. Awesome mustache.

Sam Elliott.

Thank you, Brandon. He fucking kills it.

Roadhouse has definitely got a more cult

following than any of these films, but I think Bloodsport

is by far the one

that I preferred, but you win some,

you lose some. My ability to sway

votes has definitely gone downhill. It did not work again because everyone knows your tactics now oh gosh you gotta start flanking jason you gotta start flanking and think ahead of the curve everybody's scheming you up man there are also some 92 percenters uh who are confused in the comments about what blood sport is this is fucking uh so um I had to clear things up for them there, Trav.

Yeah, Jason cleared things up for them.

You had a back and forth with Tay Ronto, Jordan from Tay Ronto.

She said, what is this movie about?

And you replied with Bloodsport, just the title,

just right back at her.

That's what it's about.

And then she then said, I just voted Bloodsport,

but I still don't know what it is. And then replied again with it's blood sport that's what it is and i thought that was um it was very clever because that's exactly what it is there's no other there's no other like review or explanation you need to give once you see the movie uh you will then tell everybody else exactly what it's about and it's about blood sport i mean I mean, I guess it's about the Kumite tournament and all that.
Yeah, but the tournament's about Bloodsport. Yeah, exactly.
At the end of the day, it's Bloodsport. It's about the power of friendship.
The power of friendship? Don't do this. All right, we're trying to.
Let's not try and make a thematic huge thing out of Bloodsport. This isn't the brotherhood of Bloodsport, okay? This is this is blood sport we will give everyone time to watch this movie so we'll uh we'll drop our review later this month in the meantime tomorrow we are going to uh dip back into the heights hotline and answer some more of your burning relationship questions i don't know that's and gentlemen.
You make sure that you hit us with the best questions you got,

because we are miracle makers when it comes to relationship advice.

Yeah, I got some mixed reviews on my relationship advice from the public

and from my own wife, Kylie.

So hopefully I do better this week.

Yeah, if you want access to all of our bonus content,

make sure to subscribe to Wondery Plus. You guys been watching Jumanji? Oh, dude.
It's actually a nice little code. Now I just text her if she wants to watch Jumanji early in the day.
Say, hey, playing these Jedi mind tricks. Don't get stuck in the game, folks.
I texted Kylie. She watched Jumanji today, and she said, oh, I'm drier than the Sahara Desert.
And I was like, that movie takes place in the rainforest. Ah, Jason has dethroned the queen of Christmas, the amazing, the wonderful Mariah Carey.
Oh, buddy. A Philly special Christmas party.
Maybe this Christmas by a Philly specials and Stevie Nicks is the number one Christmas song on the charts right now. Yeah.
The duet with Stevie Nicks is officially the number one Christmas song and beat out All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey. And I mean, that song is as good as it gets when it comes to Christmas music.
Jason, how does it feel to officially be the queen of Christmas? You know, I've fought my whole life to be the queen of Christmas. And the fact that we're finally there is just really special.
I forget what the stat was. Somebody said, I think All I Want for Christmas Is You has been the number one Christmas song.
Since 1994? I don't know if it's since 1994, but it's been for 20 years. It's been nonstop the number one Christmas song or something like that.
Yeah, of course. So I know we caught it in early November.
We'll see if it holds up throughout the rest of Christmas. We kind of caught it on the Christmas downslide.
Not too many people are listening to Christmas music, so we kind of jumped up.

Snuck in there, yeah.

I get it.

I'll take it when I can get it.

That's pretty amazing.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

And it was incredible to work with Stevie Nicks.

I mean, obviously, I just am still in awe of the fact that that actually happened.

Stevie!

And this is really, really cool.

I mean, there is no percent chance any song that I am in should be streaming number one on any service in any genre yeah well don't give yourself too much credit stevie next that's exactly right yes good point no man that's uh that's some cool ass shit man i can't wait for uh everything to drop it drops day after thanksgiving so the song is out now the single came out but yeah the single The album will be fully streamable, I think. I think it's like the day after Thanksgiving.
Yeah, I think that's what I remember reading. The album goes for sale, but it's already pre-sale.
Pre-ordered. We got to ask Connor.
Connor knows all the details. I don't know half of the details.
I just have fun, make the music. He knows how the released structure works.
I'm an idiot. I just show up and I get it.
It's coming out slowly. We got another single coming out this week with our friends from Mount Joy.
Nice. Iconic Philly band.
That song's tremendous. So pretty excited to see how that does.
Hell yeah. I think we're going to be releasing this tomorrow, but I'm going to be putting on a concert before this Thursday night game with Mount Joy.
I'm sorry, what? You're going to do live music? Dude, I'm performing the song that we recorded for the album live at the link before the game starts with Mount Joy. And I kind of feel, I don't know if this is the right thing to do.
Like the Eagles are about to play like a heated, like the most important game the year they're playing the washington commanders and me and mount joy are going to go in there before the game kicks off and perform a christmas song because we want to help uh raise money for the album what game is this it's eagles versus washington the commanders it's like this week it's on thursday it's going to be the day after this. If you ask me, but all right.

We initially were like, we're just going to do something in the parking lot. It'll be fun.

Let's move on to a little bit of that,

uh,

bold topics to wrap up week 10 in the NFL,

starting with the Kansas city chiefs.

And how about those?

Chiefs 16 How about those? Chiefs. Chiefs, 16.
Broncos, 14. Man, that was crazy.
I was watching this game actually at Big Dean's down in Venice Beach, which is a New York Giants bar, which was embarrassing for them right after losing to the Panthers. But the whole bar was absolutely losing it with this one.
You guys trail the entire game up until the fourth quarter, which in typical fashion, you guys then take the lead. And it comes down to, I mean, what is this? A 35-yard, yeah, 35-yard field goal kick.
I mean, probably the most electric way to end a game. I used to think like Hail Mary or like a touchdown, walk-off touchdown.
I don't think there's anything more electric than blocking a kick to win a game i used to think like hail mary or like a touchdown walk off touchdown i don't think there's anything more electric than blocking a kick to win a game that the place just erupted the entire i don't think i had been a part of the stadium where it went fucking ape shit dude i can only imagine my eye it got me to the point where my eyes like the emotion and everything my eyes started, and I was like getting goosebumps. I'm like, this is insane how we just got through here with a win.
And we were talking, like right when it let up, the whole bar where we were at had pretty much, okay, well, the Chiefs just lost their first game. Like the Broncos did a great job.
They did what you need to do to beat the Chiefs. Don't give the ball back to Pat Mahomes.
Whatever you do, do not give it back. Milk the clock.
They got it down to one second. TJ, who was the bartender, was like, I don't know, man.
They still got to make the kick. And I literally was like, you know what? There have been a lot of blocks this year.
I swear to God. That's insane.
To talk about it like that. I didn't think it was about to happen, but I was like, you know what? It could.
it could i mean i guess kareem was on the sidelines screaming it we're about to block this punt i'm just in my head i'm just like it's only one loss travis you're like it's not a pun i was already in my head i was already i was already no i mean my bad he was saying he was gonna block this kick but i was already i was in my head from not scoring a touchdown on the drive right before that and like forcing them to score a touchdown instead of kick a field goal i know exactly what player you look like you just couldn't quite get your feeding the footing to like jump it was like an awkward time it was that one it was a great ball by pat i was fading so i didn't have my feet under me to be able to just spring up and yep uh two plays or three plays before that I actually got a first down, but they went cover zero, and all I had to do was make one guy miss. And he wrapped my shoes up.
That's the one you're talking about? Yeah. And it's just, you know, I think I've put that much pressure on myself or that much accountability on myself to make that guy miss and be that difference maker.
I hear you. It's just, for whatever reason, it was a good tackle by six.
I hate myself for it. I hate that everybody's looking at Pat for like he overthrew me on that last play.
It was a great ball. I just didn't have my feet under me to go up and get it.
The ball didn't even, it's not even like it went over the crossbars. It was a very catch very catchable ball if i would it was right on the on the i think if you would have had footing you definitely could have jumped up and got it but yeah but either way this is why you have teammates this is this is it and i was in i was in the tank and these guys fucking yet again when i do something stupid or i fuck up my guys are right there to pick me up and um it's it was awesome to see a guy like Leo Chanel be the difference maker.
That's what I was about to say. We talk about teammates.
Man. Like the way you've talked about him and the way it feels like all the Kansas City Chiefs talk about this guy, like he is the ultimate teammate.
He does so many things. You guys will put him at fullback.
He plays D-line. He plays linebacker.
He does all these things for the Chiefs. And on top of that, he of that he blocks kicks to win games that's the truth let's talk about this a little bit let's rewind this brandon if we can get it back to the start here so 54 is um that position is called tight end on field goal and i'm just letting you know this right now people it is the worst position it is arguably the hardest position on any special teams unit this guy is being taught to stab the guy that is in the gap inside of him yep stab the guy that is in the gap outside of him inside of him and outside of him and then on top of that take a fucking guy right down the center NFL player and you're not even allowed to touch it with your hands.
You just have to eat it. And you're just here, and they tell you to die slow.
That's the coaching. That is literally the coaching on it.
We know you're going to get your ass beat. You're going to get your ass beat.
All right? We put our toughest guy in there. We just need you to be stout for two seconds or however long it takes for them to snap the ball and kick it like we just need you to have that like two second like strain to finish and that's why they say die slow because you you typically end up on your ass every fucking time every time they put this kind of rush where there's three guys over top of you you are going three people pushing on you you're gonna fall just don't fall too fast essentially yeah and he.
And he fell lickety-split. I'm not going to lie.
This was – He got caught on his heels. Look at where his butt is.
You got to get your butt up a little bit more than that. We need more flat back.
We need more flat back. Exactly.
We're not worried about our head being down or anything. You got to get a job done.
Yeah. We got to bring Newton's law into this thing and start breaking out the protractor.
We used to say this guy used to be – we used to say he's the most unselfish player on the team before when there was a kickoff return and a wedge unit oh yeah wedge unit and this guy but now that there's no more wedge unit this guy takes a cake like you're gonna get killed the award yeah and what's unique about this too is like i don't know if we still do this to be honest with you because i don't i haven't been in field goal meetings in a while. But typically, the field side tight end is a bigger body guy that dies slower because the way the kick has to go on the right hash, it's going to go to the left.

So teams will usually put their bigger, better tight end to the field.

A lot of times they won't play sides.

It looked like Chicago just played these guys on sides they didn't really like swap them like we i know jordan malata when he used to do this we used to put jordan malata to the field when bo allen used to do this he was really good at it we would put him to the field because we knew that the rush if they were going to get there had to come from that angle on a hash which also makes

it very interesting and i don't want to call anybody out i think it's already been noticed that uh 5-4 for denver i'm not sure of his name but he was he was kind of he was getting pointed out in the special teams like film that hey this guy isn't necessarily dying as slow as you would hope. Of course.
Yeah. You would hope that you do, you fix that before you get put in a situation

like this and ironically the play before this they did a play the the quarterback did a uh or the the offense did a a play where it's they snapped the ball and they run the ball over to the right hash and take a knee yeah Yeah, they centered it. So now the kick has to go over the left side of the offensive line or the field goal block or the field goal unit.
That's right where kind of the 5-4 is. And, I mean, it matched up perfectly for us to really give us confidence that we could go and get it.
But at the end of the day all everything goes down to to making the play and you see guys like leo chanel and george carloftis who's right here uh shooting what is that the the sea gap as well trying to get in there yeah on them down and they're all going through that gap everyone's going right through that gap you could tell it was a it was an effort in something that Coach Tobe, one of the best special teams coordinators of the NFL's history, he had dialed in on that one to make sure our guys knew that that was a weak point or something that we could take advantage of. And for those of you wondering why you would put the ball in the right hash, a lot of the times kickers actually don't want the ball in the middle of the field.

They prefer having an angle on the kick and they'll ask the kicker,

Hey,

do you want this on the right hash or the left hash?

When they have enough time like this in a crucial moment,

they're going to try and make it as easy or put it in a position where the

kicker has as much confidence as possible.

So they put it on the right hash.

Yeah.

Unknowingly making it more vulnerable to being blocked because of where the pressure was coming the majority of the game. And I don't want to – listen, I'm going to give Alex all the credit in the world.
That position sucks. It's the worst.
It is so hard. It's the worst.
It is not – It's so easy for us to say, why isn't he leaning forward? Well, the problem is once you start leaning, then they're jetting the other gaps. It's a position that is really hard to be right on.
You have to have great balance. It was not executed well for him, obviously, on that play.
But part of it's also just like, you know, he didn't get his foot down, which would have helped him. But what an amazing effort and just outstanding play from Karloftis and from Leo Chanel.
And was that Chris Jones who was also in on that on the inside? Mike Pinnell. Mike Pinnell.
Mike. So Jack Cochran getting in there.
Everybody was in that thing. Yeah, it was.
It was an insane effort on a play that's like, you know, at that point, you got to be you can't help but think a little bit like, God dang, man, this is damn near games over almost like. I mean, mean, I told you I was in the fucking tank.
Yeah. I mean, especially on the sideline when you can't make a difference.
You're like, come on, guys, please. Somebody please make a play.
But, like, you know the chances that that happens are so small. I think couldn't happen to a better guy, it seems like, in Leo Chanel.
Loved everything that happened after the game. So, yeah, to a better teammate it seems everybody pumping up john cena here my home's on chanel he's like the strength they got it when he comes out of the tunnel next they got to hit him with the john it's gotta be from now on yes dude he's like the strength of a fucking dog man he's like the strength of a d lineman but he plays the lineer position.
You don't want to be the guy on the end when he's working out. No, he made my training camp living hell going against the man.
I loved every bit of it too. He's just such a, he's such a good teammate, accountable every single day.
And you just love to see a guy get a guy have success like that. Uh, knowing how much he fucking he works, man.
Yeah. What, what did he do to make it, I don't know, hard for you? I mean, he's like long arms.
He gets his hands on you in terms of reroutes. Spags was playing some defensive stuff that he knew we were going to play some good tight ends this year, so he wanted to have some packages in to kind of slow down the tight end off the ball.
And Leo was the guy that's fucking just making my day hell the third day in practice and just fucking standing in front of me and just making sure that I don't get into my route. Can't get right into your route, throw the timing off.
And then on top of that, blocking him is just one of the hardest things because his arms are so long and he plays with such good leverage, man. Yeah, he's got good ankle flexion.
It's always a bummer all right mike pennell also said uh leo before the play he said that he

was going to do it uh so we all had faith in each other he was unwavering faith in his ability

so we're all behind him we call him the beast he is the beast my homes calls him john cena

everybody else calls him the beast this guy's got some great nicknames i mean

dude do you know his nickname from college what's his nickname from college

Thank you. calls him John Cena.
Everybody else calls him the Beast. This guy's got some great nicknames.
I mean. Dude, do you know his nickname from college? What's his nickname from college? Death Row.
Death Row? Death Row. Death Row Records? Why is he Death Row? Dude, I mean, watch how he plays.
You'll get it. All right.
My favorite clip ever, though. What? When he got drafted, they asked Leo Chanel, what are you going to bring to kansas city okay and he looked at he looked at that reporter violence and physicality wow that's a good answer that's a football guy answer right there can somebody please pull up that we gotta find that video i think it was violence and physicality i forget what it was leo what do you bring to the table for the kingdom violence and physicality.
I forget what it was. Leo, what do you bring to the table for the kingdom? Violence and physicality, man.
I am addicted to hitting people. I love it.
I can't get enough. Let's fucking go.
I'm addicted to hitting people. The whole crowd just erupts.
You just got someone that loves to assault people for a living. And I will take full advantage of being able to assault the man in front of me.
Leo, can you give us a nuanced answer as to why you are going to be a great pick for the Kansas City? Violence and physicality! That reminds me. That reminds me.
It's so good, dude. That reminds me so much of that Marshawn Lynch interview.
Like his high school interview? No, he's doing an interview and the reporter is asking him questions. He's like, there's not too many people that can take you running through somebody's face over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
And the guy said, the reporter says,

is there some type of a, I forget, he tries to have some quick,

smart comeback where it's like, oh, is there something symbolic in that?

And he said, run through a motherfucking face.

I mean, my silence is gold, man.

God damn, I would have loved to fucking play with that guy.

Yeah, the field goal attempt almost didn't happen.

It was reported on Pro Football Talk that there was talk among the Chiefs

Thank you. My shot is gold, man.
Goddamn, I would have loved to fucking play with that guy. Yeah, the field goal attempt almost didn't happen.
It was reported on Pro Football Talk that there was talk among the Chiefs defense of possibly letting the Broncos score at the end as a strategy to get the ball back. And I'll explain this.
We, every team has a play in their playbook on defense. When you're out of timeouts, there's no way for you to stop the clock anymore you'll actually let the team score just so you get an opportunity to get the ball back you have to be within a score though it's a last-ditch effort it usually happens with seconds like you're under a minute on the play clock and you're like man they're gonna get a field goal we can't stop the clock anymore let's just let them score a touchdown because then maybe we can somehow get in the end zone if we get the ball back.
And I was actually in that same bar wondering if you guys were going to do that. So it's interesting to know that you guys are also thinking about it because it was in that.
This was the situation where it's like we're in. I don't know what you guys call it.
I think we used to. I don't even want to say what we used to call because I don't know if that'll tip it off.
But just let them score mode let them score mode but you don't want to make it too easy we actually tried it on you guys very unconvincingly and you guys uh took a kneel down and didn't score unfortunately we would have hoped you would have scored this is a situation where sometimes you'll actually see the defense try and carry a guy in like carry attack like Try and make a tackle, carry him into the end zone. You know, seriously.
And so if you ever see that at the end of a game. Sometimes it requires a little bit of acting ability.
You don't want to just make it obvious you're letting him score. You want to actually miss a tackle on purpose.
But either way, Spags reportedly said, no, we're not doing that. We're going to make this stop and force him to make the kick.
Interesting. I mean, listen.
And Spags, we trust, baby. The strategy worked.
I don't know. Spags, we trust, baby.
Yeah, right? In retrospect, it's absolutely bonkers that you guys block this kick. And I think it's, like I said before, it is probably the most electric way to end a game on a block.
Dude, it was. The double thump to end it.
Like, that is like that is absolutely freaking crazy especially from 35 yards out it's one thing if it's from fucking deep man exactly like this is like a i don't know what the it was it was a build it was a build up probably a 92 chance that the field goes going in i might even be higher than that the the fact that it was kind of building up from like the two minute because we used just about all our time as I think we had one left but yeah we used all our timeouts tried to set it up so that we would have time left and they get the big first down on the third down play that gets them into field goal range and now they keep just like slowly taking off the clock slowly taking off the clock so it's like building up it's like fuck how do we let them get to this point man now it's like the chances are slim and then and the fucking top just fucking pops off and just the entire stadium just goes nuts it was insane man yeah i can only imagine you don't have too many uh regular season games that get the stadium rocking like that, man. For sure.
Little Chiefs Broncos always gets it going. Well, another thing that got it rocking on social media after the game, the Chanel jersey incident.
I got Leo, man. This was pretty cool.
Once Coach Reed finished his post-game remarks, he let Chanel break down the team's final huddle um a first-time moment for him in his career a few minutes later he was definitely broke down i don't know who's writing this i don't know but i'm just gonna read it because i don't know anything except a few minutes later before his postgame shower chanel asked kelsey for something he's wanted since his rookie season just before chanel left the locker room kelsey still shirtless gave his teammate the memento he wanted, his red game-worn 87 jersey, with his signature and a short message to Chanel written in black Sharpie on the white number seven. And Chanel said, I've been waiting for the right time, smiling.
I felt I earned it. That's pretty awesome, man.
He earned it just by fucking being a good teammate yeah right and this is actually this is my fault of course it's my fault i um he said he mentioned that he wanted his rookie his rookie year he came up to me and asked me before and i was like dude fuck yeah that's i would no problem man i'll write this thing out to you and in a heartbeat and sure enough i um i forget to do it that day and two years later i'm sitting here he comes up to me and calls me out he's like you still owe me a jersey i'm like goddamn today's the day you're getting it brother this is how you know we're brothers so he's got the uh not only the game game winning block kick jersey i put the date on it I told him how much I appreciate him being a teammate and a Super Bowl champion with me. Oh, that's awesome.
Ironically, it was the day I became the leading touchdown reception. Yeah.
Touchdown reception leader. You overtook it or you tied Tony? I can't remember which one it was.
I think I might have tied him. I think you tied Tony.

Yeah.

Which I tied him on that day,

so I made sure to write that down there on him.

That's awesome.

When I told that to him, he was sitting there like, what?

No, no, I can't.

I'm like, it's in good hands.

It's yours, brother.

Dude, that's crazy.

Yeah, this is how you know we're brothers.

I think I owe like 15 guys from the league. Oh, a million.
think i still owe my guy hunter henry one man fuck i don't know how your jersey is after games when i tried to like sign the jersey after soaking wet yeah it all runs and it bleeds like it never like that's a part of it that's a part of it it's part of the magic of it yeah that's how you know it's another part of the that thing was worn It's a part. Yeah.
That's how you know. It's another part of the year that thing was worn,

and it was sweated on, and there was bloodshed.

What do we think was the better post-game gift to Leo?

The jersey from you or a little cheeseburger?

Andy treating him to a cheeseburger?

Hell yeah.

Shit, the entire Chief's kingdom treats him to meals for the rest of his life,

I bet you.

I would say the cheeseburger from Andy Reid is an all-time great gift. I do want to say we're pumping up the end of this game in Leo.
I do got to give the Broncos credit. I mean, they played fantastic.
Are you kidding me, man? Their defense is fucking sound. Their defense has been great all season long.
They came off of a little bit of a rough one the week before, but they have been really good. Their front seven flies around.
They do a great job of mixing up blitzes and just throwing guys at you left and right and playing fast. 5'5", their middle linebacker flies the fuck around.
40, their backers are super athletic, very in-tuned, very well-coached. Good instincts.
Vance Joseph has got those guys playing really good. I told him afterwards, man, it's an honor going up against you, man, because I know it's one of the biggest challenges in the league, man.
Yeah, who would have thought one of the best defenses in the league at a white corner? There's an outside corner? Yeah. 21.
Starter. He hides it, though.
He wears long sleeves. He hides it.
Andy, I think he wears the turtleneck, too. That's smart.
He hides it, yeah. Don't let him see the skin.
He hides it. Don't let him see the skin.
Which one's the white guy again? I can't tell. I can't tell.
It's like camouflage. That's funny.
Oh, man. No, no man serious and honestly that he can play everybody everybody over there their safeties uh i got covered by a linebacker for for a play i mean they throw different looks at you and coach payton can't yeah of course payton's got those guys motivated and playing great ball on the offensive side too bo nicks holy shit that guy.
That guy was fucking ripping it out there yesterday. Especially the first half.
They got up to an early. Playing some good fucking football, man.
Well, the Broncos, we just talked about it. The Broncos did hold you guys.
The three of four field goes in the red zone. They were very stingy down there in particular.
But they did let up one. And that was to the big Yeti himself.
We talked about it a second ago. Were you tied Tony Gonzalezalez for the most touchdowns in chiefs franchise history let's see this clip and this was a fourth down like ballsy kind of it was early in the game was it 3 14 maybe yeah what is this route called uh it's called to just get the fuck open and get your eyes around because you're white ass open this is the one time the Broncos got a little botched up.
We had guys going crossing, going left and right, a guy going vertical, and sometimes that just softens up the defense enough to if the guy underneath just gets his eyes back, it's a touchdown. It's interesting to me.
So you guys are in this bunch formation, and a lot of times you'll see teams throw these like quick screens and do like these like little follows into the end zone with the guy. And, but you guys do this.
It's almost like a delayed follow where like they go out, they run their crossers and you kind of act like you're going out and then come right back where you just were. Does that make sense at all? I don't know.
No, I mean, you're right. And what it, what it does is it, it puts a team.
They're all banjoing this. They're trying to figure out who am I taking.
They're playing a defense that's very similar to what you would play in the field. And they box the bunch.
They put five guys literally like a box. They put the corner high outside, the safety right over top, and he plays everything inside.
The corner plays everything outside. underneath nickel or the the wheelbacker then plays the flat as while the mics kind of sits in the in the inside and takes any short crossers well this formation we scored two touchdowns with d hop on the back side so the mic flies left uh to try and take away the inside throw to d hop he's got to take the first crosser.
Yeah. And then Justin Ross does a great job of taking off the top.
And I mean, it's at that point, there's a lot of space underneath for me to work. And Pat was right on time.
That outside defender. He's got to respect.
You run into the flat. Yeah.
So when you come and follow that guy who takes the inside defender, there's nobody left to take you. I thought it was great it was a great design and yeah and i'm no gray's wide ass open here too so it was literally picker poison by the pad right here either way uh awesome play on fourth down chiefs defense still balling out i mean i know they kind of got let up a little bit early they gave up some leakage late on that last field goal, 19 points.
As an offense, with a guy like Pat Mahomes back there, Coach Reed dialing up plays, we have the pieces to put up fucking points, man. And it is getting a little frustrating, but Chiefs Kingdom, stick with us, baby.
We're going to start putting fucking points up, and we're going to do it in old Chiefs fashion. We're finding ways to win, which is always a good thing, and we're learning, and we're growing, and we're going to do it.
We're going to do it in old Chiefs fashion. Yeah.
We're finding ways to win, which is always a good thing.

And we're learning and we're growing.

And we're definitely, you know, rolling with the punches in terms of,

in terms of like how teams are playing us.

And we're growing with that.

And I think that Coach Nagy, Coach Reed, Coach Heck,

the offensive staff that's really creating these game plans, they're putting us in great positions to have success. But it takes all 11, man.
It takes all 11. It takes the tight ends to be having their feet underneath them so we score touchdowns instead of field goals.
It takes, you know, everybody up front to be on the same page so that we're picking up blitzes. It takes everybody running their route to the discipline

that Coach Reed teaches it so that guys get open faster

and it's a clearer picture for Pat.

Everybody's got to do their fucking job every single play.

And I know I haven't done it.

I've got to make sure that as a leader on this team,

I'm doing everything I can to help this team and to make this thing go.

Yeah, love it.

LeBron's stand of the game.

No other team in NFL history has won nine straight games

Thank you. everything I can to help this team and to make this thing go.
Yeah. Love it.
LeBron's stat of the game. No other team in NFL history has won nine straight games in which they trailed in the second half, regular and postseason.
You guys have trailed in all nine games? Is that what that stat is saying? That's not correct. This is true, Jason.
You're saying you guys have trailed in all of your nine lives? Every fucking game. Wow.
In the second half. That's fucking mind-blowing, actually.
That's not a LeBron stat. That's pretty fucking crazy.
It's not where you want to be as an offense, Jason. And I know this, and it is, like I said, it's frustrating.
It is frustrating knowing that we're not scoring enough points right now. And it's what you go to work for, baby.
You got enough pride. If you get it fixed, you're going to fucking get it fixed.
And I got my mindset on that. Well, next week, you guys have an opportunity to get it fixed.
You head back to Buffalo. How about this to take on Bills Mafia? Yeah.
Last time you were in Buffalo, I was there. And it was a fun evening for everyone involved.
Unless you're the Bills. Yeah, correct.
Unless you're Bills Mafia, in which case, not the best end of the season for those guys, but they are rolling right now. Bills are looking good.
Josh Allen. He is playing fucking lights out right now.
He's got his best touchdown to interception ratio in his whole career. Joe Brady.
Joe Brady has really taken the offense to another level, it feels like i think josh has taken it up another level himself i think yeah i think he's doing an unbelievable job of taking care of the ball uh mixing in when he's gonna fucking be the bulldozer that he is and then mixing up when he wants to run around guys he's just he's playing he's playing great football and um you know when you get a juggernaut like him on the offensive side,

you got to fucking put up points, man.

So now more than ever are we going to need to fucking score touchdowns.

Yes.

And I'm going to be locked in this week to try and make sure I'm accountable for my guys.

Oh, can't wait to watch this one.

I will not be shirtless this time around. I'll be watching this one from some comfortable area.

You're supposed to beat them 34-6.

Yeah.

Philadelphia has really settled into who they are.

It seems like they're playing much better.

We've all known that they've had the players to get it done.

They have great talent on both sides of the ball.

They're really starting to gel as units and play as a team.

And I think that that's the thing that's been really fun to watch

the last couple weeks. They're figuring out their identity on offense, and they're starting to really play to their strengths as a unit.
And defensively, they've had a couple bad games. But outside of that, they've been good.
They've been really good. And as of late, the defensive line has picked it up.
They're playing fantastic. I mean, obviously, everybody's criticizing the pass rush.
When you play with a lead, the pass rush looks a lot better. You put them in third and long situations.
Keep them, stay ahead of the sticks. You're going to get good opportunities to rush the passer.
And I think that the Eagles right now are playing very, very well. It also helps when you get five turnovers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, how about that? Win the turnover battle, baby. The fucking win percentage skyrockets.
Eagles now in first place in the NFC East with uh with a fifth straight win and birds get their first win in dallas since 2017 as uh jason remembers quick stats from the game jalen went 14 of 20 for 202 yards and a tutty he's just playing so he has he has the the answers to the test man he's he's it seems like he's ahead of the curve and i just it's fun watching him ball out right now because he's just he's flawless right now his throws are right on point everything downfield seems to be in sync aj brown had five catches for 109 aj brown's doing his goddamn thing um as he always does force five cowboy turnovers one interception of four fumbles. Guys are fucking punching the ball.
And the Eagles pulled starters early in the fourth quarter. How about that? Yeah.
Jalen is playing really good right now. I mean, I know the thing that he's really done since the bye is he's taking care of the football.
He's being very smart. I know he had the one interception to Diggs in the end zone where Diggs really sloughed off of his responsibility, made a good play.
And then he had the fumble where I don't know what you do. Michael Parsons came around on a TE and was on top of him before he really had time to react.
But he's been very smart with the football, but also still taking chances. It's hard to navigate that.
How do I be aggressive and allow my guys to go make plays like A.J. Brown Brown but also do that in a way that is smart and we're not putting the ball at risk and I think that he's been really good it's clear that him and Kellen have really started to build a chemistry as to what this offense is now you know it looks like it has an identity oh yeah they've turned into they lean on Saquon they allow they run the football they're doing the play actions they're doing a little bit more under center stuff and which lends yourself to some different play actions and you can do from the gun and they've done some really good things the last three or four weeks it's fun to watch right now it's a lot of fun to watch hell yeah well um i don't get this next quote uh but the biggest takeaways from the game,erry jones is still at war with the sun yeah there was a moment in the game cd lamb running across the end zone had a chance to have a wide open touchdown and could not see the ball i'm not gonna lie playing in that stadium i've fucking had that problem before that that fucking glare coming through that end zone in the afternoon is fucking ridiculous absolutely ridiculous it's like the it's like the glass makes it fucking like spread more right it's like the sun is bigger and brighter than it's ever fucking been yeah and i i mean i get it but obviously you try not to let those

kind of things be an excuse but holy shit man that's that that i mean i get it i understand where he's coming from here yeah i mean there's some pictures right here i mean it is crazy how aggressive that son is at that time of the day coming through that window um you think they put up like shades like, shades or something, but alas. Look at that, dude.
Dude. What the fuck? Why the fuck is it that bright? Yeah.
Oh, man. And the funny thing is, I think somebody, I saw somewhere, and I don't know if this is true or not, but I saw it on the internet, so I'm going to assume it's true, like everybody else does.
Of course. I think they actually have shades because they do like concerts in there and singers have like said that they're it bothers them.
So they have shades. They can like it's an option that they could legitimately just put the shades down and I just don't do it.
I have to ask somebody that CD Lamb postgame comments on the sun at AT&T stadium. stadium i couldn't see the ball i couldn't see the ball at all um the sun yeah all right nice uh is he in favor of curtains probably yes 1 000 he is uh did you talk to jerry jones about that lamb i mean y'all doing my job right now all right he'll hear it he'll hear it i think jerry's gonna get it i'll be there might be shades next game yeah i mean knowing that maybe in the fourth quarter you make the other team in a afternoon game have to deal with that in this you know i mean have to look into the sun see jerry jones has asked about the possibility of putting up curtains to block out the sun at atc stadium he said well let, well, let's tear the damn stadium down and build another one.
Are you kidding me? I'm saying the world knows where the sun is. You get to know that almost a year in advance, someone asked me about the sun.
What about the sun? Where's the moon? I need to hear this quote to understand what the fuck he just said hey man listen are you i hear him i hear him you know where the sun is dude the world knows where the sun is yeah and so do architects yeah and people that build stadiums and usually you try to avoid the fact that the sun might be directly in your receiver's eyes dude whatever it is you have i mean at arrowhead there is a time is there a recording of this i want to hear how jerry says this i can't repeat this and say it with the right inflection there is 100 a time at arrowhead stadium where it's an afternoon game and typically it has to be a noon game you know the the sun's already kind of going down by 4 o'clock and getting underneath the stadium at this point in the year. But there is a time if there is a noon game that in the first and second quarter, maybe even peaking into the third quarter, that you're going to get that sun coming across the field.
So it's like if you have a hitch, like it doesn't necessarily go downfield or like how this is coming through the end zone in Dallas. You don't catch it that way.
You put the stadium so that... Have it going across the stadium.
Don't have it so that you're going to be looking right back at where the ball's going to be coming from 90% of the time. No, but it's going to look beautiful when the sun just glares through there in the afternoon.
And it does look beautiful. I do love playing in Cowboy Stadium when that's happening.

It makes it feel really cool until you miss a touchdown.

You have to catch a football.

Knowing that, I mean, we got to fucking block that thing out.

I mean, have we played outfield before?

I guess in Jerry's defense, you would think the Cowboys would know this is an issue

and they could use it to their advantage, but I don't know. Where's the moon? Where's the moon? The old moon got in the way, Coach.
Said no one ever. They're going to be like a solar eclipse one night and Jerry's going to...
I don't know. I think that this is one of those Jerry-isms where you got to hear him saying it for it to make sense well jerry uh doubled down on his uh his son theory uh tuesday saying at&t stadium was built as an indoor stadium with an outdoor feel okay yep people appreciate that kind of stuff they do i do like I don't want to adjust the stadium for one reason.
It's an advantage for us. Okay.
The stadium has been an advantage for the Cowboys. The team knows where the sun is during the game, and it won't change.
He's got a point. The Cowboys have been very good at home.
We had that stat up earlier. The Eagles haven't beaten them since 2017, and I think it's pretty apparent the Eagles have had better teams than the cowboys and we have struggled down there it's a difficult place to play for a multiplicity of factors i've never noticed the sun as much but i'm also not catching that many balls so maybe there's something there i don't know i i i do that's my thing it's like it's if you know where the sun's at i mean you can kind of like try and avoid that i guess or like maybe aware like a 10 advisor i don't know lebron stat of the game jalen hurts is the third player in nfl history with 75 passing touchdowns of 50 rushing touchdowns so yeah that's a lebron stat that's both equally as impressive as it is pointless.

Because nobody cares about being the third player.

Everyone wants to be the one player.

As we know, the Cowboys are struggling right now.

They're in a free fall.

I'll actually be in Dallas Monday night,

and I'll get to see this sun moon stuff firsthand and be able to offer my perspective potentially afterwards.

Yeah, let's see if Jason can catch an over route in the sun. That's a good idea.
That's a great idea. Let's see it.
It'll be – it's not a – it's a high game. You'll have to do this before.
So I'll have to do it before. Yeah.
I think Ryan and Swag usually go on NFL Live a couple – like three hours before the game. So it should be right around that time.
Yeah. Let's – Maybe I can go in there and it let's pre-record it let's pick out the exact time that this play happened and see if jason can run full speed and catch a pass right i'm gonna come back the next week with a broken nose i know it's gonna just crush me like marsha brady yeah next week the eagles are taking on the commanders on thursday night football that's right we got a good one baby a little divisional game probably the biggest game in the division those two uh teams are playing very fucking well this is huge last time both teams had records more than one game above 500 entering the game was november uh 26 2000 wow 2000.
Damn. Been a while.
Who was on those 2000 teams? 2000 would have been Donovan. I don't know who would have been on Washington.
I mean, Clinton Portis maybe. That's a while ago.
Brad Johnson? Wow. How about that? Trick shot Brad? He's all over the internet doing trick shots.
Shout out to Brad Johnson, man. Heck yeah.
All right, let's keep this thing moving and get out of the house because Jason was loose as a goose over there on the West Coast, baby. All right, out of the house.
That's right. Out of the house is brought to you by Coke Zero Sugar.
Tackle game day with the irresistible taste of Coke Zero Sugar. Is it the best Coke ever? Try it and decide.

Jason, stop by Eagle's Bar in LA, like he said, to watch the birds.

How was it, Jason?

It was awesome.

We were staying in Santa Monica for the game,

so we kind of hit up the local spots there.

I think Garage might have been a little bit outside of that,

but we ended up going to Britannia and the Garage Motor Club,

I think is the full name of the bar.

Nice.

The whole weekend, though, was fun.

It was a great time out there.

They have any Garage beer in there?

I love it. We ended up going to Britannia and the Garage Motor Club, I think, is the full name of the bar.

Nice.

The whole weekend, though, was fun.

It was a great time out there. They have any garage beer in there?

A lot of food.

They did not have any garage beer.

We're still trying to get over there on the West Coast.

We've got to get over there on the West Coast.

I talked to the guys about it.

We're in the process.

We're still working that out.

How was the LA Eagles fans compared to the natives back in Philly?

Obviously, they get to celebrate their Philadelphia fandom being together at these bars while Eagles games are happening or Sixers or all this stuff. So it's a fun moment for everybody to get together.
You're not around it constantly like you are in Philadelphia. So I think you could tell that this is much more of an event and a production for all the local guys and girls that live out that way.
Yeah. So it was cool.
awesome to be out there i was trying to make it more of just like a papa and show up like not be like a whole production but it turned into a whole production but it was still fun everybody was super nice the energy was crazy obviously they were beating the crap out of dallas which leads to good energy from eagles fans yeah. But yeah, it was a great time.
Met a lot of really good people, have some stories, and enjoyed it. Love it.
Did you run into more Eagles fans or Rams fans out there? Honestly, I'm probably saying Eagles fans. Yeah, I mean, they're everywhere.
LA is such a transplant city that there's really fans from all over the country there. Like even the bar that I saying even before we went to the two even all the coast all the coasts have that though and i think no doubt i think la and new york do have that diehard fan base it's harder in football because they haven't had that one team be there for the entire like the entire day they left and they came back yeah like the rams left it came back the raiders have been in and out the chargers now are there.
So it, like the entire day of Laird. Yeah, the Rams were there and they left and they came back.
Yeah. Like the Rams left and came back.
The Raiders have been in and out. The Chargers now are there.
So it's like the fans kind of, I don't know, latch on to whoever's good at the time because it's fun to watch. And it's tough.
And I'm sure it's been hard on a lot of the fan bases or a lot of the diehard football fans to just fully commit to a team when the ownership fucking yanks them out of there every 10 to 15 years yeah i'll also say i went to two eagles bars so obviously i saw a ton of eagles fans like there was at the rams game uh there were tons of rams fans in the stadium yeah rams house baby they definitely get it rocking for sure but the big dean's bar down there the giants bar like there's there's people from all over the country in la and that that was one of the cool things. It's a melting pot, right? You're seeing people from all over the country, all over the world.
It's the land opportunity. There's a lot of business that brings people together out there.
It was fun. I enjoyed my time there greatly.
Had a lot of great food. Jason, you got into a push-up contest.
I did. Rocking the Gold's Gym tank that that you got the kids were out at uh at ram's house and i was impressed man 54 i'm not gonna lie i did not think i was gonna get 54 i am very happy with this performance there's no way my shoulders would snap my shoulders would snap you started i mean i would have you did better than me i would have i would have went to a knee way before this you fought through and you dug deep and you could tell you're grinding them out yeah and i and i got my ass kicked by a bunch of navy seals who are much better at push-ups and a lot of things than i am uh but this was awesome to be out there on veterans day with a bunch of guys that had served for this country for a number of

years and to have some fun like this. It was a really, really cool experience and just an awesome

way to pay tribute. The whole evening was paying tribute to people in our military and armed

services. It's awesome.
I think it's one of the best things the league does. Yeah, the Salute to

Service Week is always like... It's the entire month of November.
It changes depending on what teams have home games and when they specifically have their salute to service game and stuff. But it's the reason why I wear the Army fatigue green gloves throughout the week.
And I typically try and get at least one pair to somebody in uniform

or afterwards find somebody that's served or is serving now.

So it's awesome.

And we always pay our respects to those that are serving this beautiful country.

And we appreciate you guys forever for it, man.

Absolutely.

What was the guy in the black doing?

Dude, I don't know.

This dude served like how many years Seth was in was in dude he's doing like the worm i have no idea if he's got bad hips bad shoulders maybe that's a technique all i know is doing 93 of whatever the fuck he's doing i couldn't have done 93 of it that's all i know it ain't cheating it ain't yeah whatever, he's doing them. 93 is still a lot in one minute, and he killed it, so I'm happy for him.
All right. Anything else you want to mention in this trip? No, it was just fun.
I went to a lot of local spots. Like I said, had a bunch of great food.
What's this burger place? I don't know. It was a very, very fun weekend in la ran into brandon one of the nights which is always good uh did not see jets shake he did not make the time for me unfortunately yeah had a good time jets jake is it's too busy he's on social all the time he doesn't leave the house except to walk his dog it's a tough life for jets jake right now he's also in depression with that's happening the Jets right now.
It's tough. It's tough.
We're actually going to have a video going up on some out of the house stuff. So we'll see how that turns up.
Nice. Jason, I'm just so proud of you.
Of what, Travis? For getting out of the house. You're such a homebody.
Dude, it was a fun week. You're thriving right now.
You're glowing. Look at you.
I love meeting people. That's what I like, being out of the house.

I don't.

This is the first time I've ever heard of that.

No.

I've always liked the people part.

It's the walking and moving part that I don't like as much.

All right.

Yeah, that does it for Out of the House.

Brought to you by Coke Zero Sugar.

Let's keep this thing moving to what else is going on in the NFL.

Like Jared Goff bringing the Bunn stats back.

That's right. An incredible Bunn stat in the Lions' win over Houston.
Became the third quarterback in the last 30 years to win a game while throwing five interceptions. How crazy is that? As a fellow Buns stats representative, Jared, I am proud of you for finding a way to fucking win.
That's god damn it it is hard in the nfl shout out to jake uh what is it jake bates two big field goals at the end oh yeah yeah the actual yeah the actual game that was a fun game that was a fun game to watch we were all watching after uh hanging out watching that game and um we were screaming we want six we want six and we weren't talking abouts. We wanted to see that guy throw the sixth interception and still find a way to win.
We wanted that button stat to be way more epic than it already was. Shout out to golf and the Lions, though, man.
Those guys are fucking playing hard. They got a big one this week, too.
Did you hear Dan Campbell speak into existence, the interception? Coming out of half, he's talking to the reporter. You know, they do the little on-field stuff, and the half starts, right? Houston's starting with the ball.
First play of the second half, and Campbell said, we just got to keep our head down, get a couple things, go our way, get a couple turnovers, and shoot as he says it,ception for the lions nice talk about speaking it into existence fighting dan campbell's baby yeah baby international games we had the final international game in germany between the panthers and the giants an absolute barn burner of the two and seven teams uh after goodell said the league is looking to play upwards of eight games outside of the United States in 2025, including Ireland. Ooh.
NFL has also announced it will play a game. Yeah, that sounds super fun.
Dude, I am in on all of these. A little Dublin? Where do you think it is? You think it's got to be Dublin, right? It's going to be Dublin, I would assume.
Yeah, it's got to be Dublin. Get a little Guinness factory in.
NFL has already announced that it will play a game in the renovated stadium in Madrid. Yeah.
That will return to the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City for the first time since 2022 when we played. And you love that, right? It was a nice mile long walk from the locker room.
Yeah, it was sweet, though. It was fun.
I remember you talking about how long the walk was from the locker room to the field it was it wasn't going down the ramp it was coming up from half and you're just like why the fuck did we just stay on the field yeah but mexico city was an awesome awesome place to play the azteca was fucking so fucking lit and uh there's a lot of history in that place yeah and it makes you it makes you feel like you're you're in a bunch of just like a crazed environment for fucking competition i love that shit that's awesome and the league is expected to be back in brazil and germany in 2025 so um is this too much is this too much flying that's what i'm fucking saying man fuck that send me to the moon i don't play anymore like for me it's just a reason to go to a fun place to

watch a football game like are they traveling too much or going to dublin ireland like not if i get to go to dublin ireland i'm all on board with this well this is what you did when i played in london last yeah i came to watch you guys you came out and then you went with our family over to ireland yeah it was it was our bye week and i went out and you guys are playing what detroit Detroit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Found a way to get a dub.

My guy, Alex Smith had a great game.

Yeah, I am all in. I'm all in on all these international games.
As long as most of the Eagles games are still in Philadelphia, I'm all in on all the international games. I love it.
I love the international games. Maybe get one over in Australia, though.
Let's go the other way. They've been talking about that for a while.
I was curious that he didn't mention Australia. We've been going east.
Let's go west. I think you can go either way.
You can go either east or west. You'll run into it.
I think the Aussies would fucking get so rowdy. One of those rugby stadiums.
One of those Australian football league stadiums. Those things get fucking rocking, so I can only imagine.
New Zealand is a different country, but it yeah that's kind of the same though i said australia or new zealand or new zealand okay okay all right my bad how do you thought i'm just sorry my dude i mean i used to think it was the same thing it's pretty much the same all right my dude moving on to steelers against the commanders obviously we just talked about just talked about the Eagles have a tough matchup against the Commanders this week. The Commanders lost to the Steelers this past week in a very close game that came off to an offsides jump.
Came down to it, yeah. Watch this clip.
They come up fourth and one. I mean, you know they're not going to run a play at the 50-yard line because if they don't get it, you're basically

guaranteeing a field goal.

I mean, you don't know that. Yeah, I mean, we're definitely

running a play. But you know that the

chance of them running a hard, you can't jump off.

You kind of know that there's a chance they're going to do

this hard count. That's tough.

Gosh. That's tough.

My man, Isaac Sayamalu,

signaling first down.

Russ is happy.

How can he not be, man?

He's doing the...

Thank you. My man, Isaac Samalu, signaling first down.
Russ is happy.

How can he not be, man?

He's doing the Mr. Unlimited dance.

I think that was actually the put-that-shit-on dance.

Oh, okay.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on getting the commanders to jump off sides on a clutch fourth down.

The reporter, I assume you were not going to go for it there

on the fourth down, Mike Tomlin.

We'll never know, will we? we you know i am a degenerate i am a degenerate god damn that's good about that yeah just got to keep them on their toes you never know hey travis which way were you supposed to go on this we'll never know i think the more i think about you probably do go for it i'm fourth and one there because there's a lot of time left and if if you get it, the game's over. How confident do you feel? Yeah.
We'll never know what Mike was going to do. That's for sure.
Yeah. Is it hard not to false start? No, it is not hard.
So this is what happens when some of the producers read the questions, guys. They said, is it hard to not false start? I don't know.
Is it hard to not false start for the offense? No. If it is the play that they're talking about where they're not going to run a play, it is incredibly easy not to false start.
You're actually incredibly dumb if you do false start because there's no play. That being said, I have false started not knowing what the play was before.
Never in a game, but in practice. When you rep this one time, I was like, oh, Doug's like, what are you doing, man? There's no play.
And I'm like, yeah, I don't know why that that just happened i'm stupid for that and doug was a good cadence coach it's a good i was like i'm really done for that doug was like we do that they're gonna jump i was just letting you know i wasn't locked in and if we catch them not locked in that's what's gonna happen i think the more applicable question is it hard to not as a defensive player? And probably not. I mean, typically everybody's reminding each other on both sides in this situation.
I mean, you would hope so. Maybe the commanders didn't.
Didn't signal it in. Like any situation like that, you're typically telling them, D-Joe, or like, dude, do not jump on the snap.
Like, it is okay to be a titch off of it. But maybe not.
Maybe they just went all in. I don't know.
Does the defense know you're not running a play? I mean, they might have had. That's the thing about this.
They can go with a hard count and try and jump them off sides but also have a play designed after that. I still got to think that they were probably not going to run a play there.
They still had a couple timeouts. So they probably were going to try and draw them off sides, then take the timeout

and decide whether they were going to either punt

or

go for it. Or just fucking

do a QB sneak right there.

They're not doing a QB sneak. You know how I know that?

Nope. The quarterback's feet.

The quarterback, when they do quarterback

sneaks, gets a foot behind him.

He's got even feet. He's not running

quarterback sneak right there. He could change him up on the second cadence, I guess foot behind him.
He's got even feet. He's not running quarterback sneak right there.

He could change him up on the second cadence, I guess, I suppose.

There you go.

Poopgate.

Lions linebacker James Houston went viral this week for allegedly shitting his pants on the field.

This is rough.

This is why I hate white pants.

This is one of the reasons I hate white pants.

I would like to say that I have not ever done this. luckily i haven't been out there during a game and done this before but listen sometimes you know you're exerting a lot of effort on the field and if you get caught in the wrong type of gut situation no dude what do you mean if he said it right here hey y'all i sat on some gatorade come on dude travis travis you and i both know he said i know gatorade not in that exact specific spot we all know what that is and he has nothing to be ashamed of i am here to have your back i have done this dude i i did this before a game once it was this and i felt you know like when you when you when you shart and you know that there's a possibility something just came up but you're not certain you know my pants you got to get off the field i turned and i'm not going to announce names i turned to my buddy my old line friend and i was like hey can you check me because i think i might have just checked right and he checks me he you're good.
I go out for warmups, do the whole warmups.

Lane comes up to me after warmups.

He's like, hey, you got shit all up and down your pants right now.

So in between warmups in the start of the game, I keep my shoulder pads on,

take off all of my lower half, get in the shower and showering.

Oh, that's funny as fuck. You that nasty you had dude i was it was disgusting yeah but yeah this is not the first time it's happened i know many players that this happened to it could potentially be gatorade i think it's probably highly likely it was a shart that went awry because it's just this white pants man man.
It's risky. It's a risky situation.
You got to eat right. You got to take your vitamins.
Make sure that gut health is right. All right.
I'm done talking about shitting yourself. All right.
Coach quote of the week. Comes from Saints interim.
Interim. Interim head coach.
Got to win. Saints big win.
Yeah. Darren Rizzi.
After the win against the Falcons, I'm a pretty open guy. Nice, that's a good trait.
I go to the bathroom. This is how my day started.
I clogged the toilet. I'm like, this is going to be a crappy day, pun intended.
Guy got fired up, he clogged the toilet. Yeah, I mean, listen, he's an open guy.
He's an open book. Not afraid to admit anything.
Yeah. It's just another list in the category.
Sounds like he was patting himself on the back there. It's like he's letting him know, hey, I'm a man.
I take big shits. Big shits.
I don't need no modium. I'm going to fucking clog this shit up.
You better have some good pipes. Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, what is it about interim coaches, man? It feels like they always win their first game it's like routine i think it's a mixture of teams motivated to play harder you know i think everybody nobody wants to see anybody get fired but at the same time everybody wants to kind of be there for whoever's uh job it is to step in you know it's not an easy thing to do and i think sometimes that can kind of circle the bandwagons for teams uh on top of that you know you see one one guy get fired you see the head man get fired at that shit everybody's on fucking notice no doubt everyone's you know a little bit more dialed in a little bit more locked in um and who knows what else the what other motivating factors were going on in the building or who they got back or things like that but maybe even a switch up a scheme um a little bit more unknown on what the the play calls are going to be yeah all that plays in the part for sure and that does it for bold topics moving on to no dumb questions because it's no it's uh there's no such thing as uh dumb questions just dumb ass people answering some dumb questions. Wait, what? No Dumb Questions is brought to you by our friends at Burger King.
Man, that Whopper was so good. It was pretty damn good.
I'm not going to lie. That's sesame bun.
Yeah, it's got my mouth watering right now. I'm kind of hungry myself.
I might go get a burger for dinner now, a little Burger King Whopper. First No Dumb Question.
How How hard is it really to make O-line position, to move O-line positions? Like when a right guard moves to left guard, sometimes announcers act like it's no big deal, but sometimes they act like it's the most impressive thing an NFL player can do. I imagine it's like driving on the other side of the road.
I would say it's a little bit harder than driving on the other side of the road. Some players are very good and natural at switching sides and are ambidextrous.
It's probably, it's more similar to probably switch hitting on like in baseball, but hitting a baseball is just way harder. What it really comes down to is you're using your feet in a different stance and stagger than you do on the other side of the ball.
Maybe more importantly, your hands have to be used differently. Your inside hand placement is obviously with a different hand, and that has a lot to do with how you pass that and your relationship with the defender.
So I would say it is definitely hard, but some guys are very good at it, and it's not difficult at all. They can go back and forth.
A lot of it is player specific. Some guys are awful when you try and have them play another side.
They just can't figure it out quickly. And some guys can switch over like it's nothing.
And that's one of the reasons why backup guys that can play both sides and move and play either left or right. The tweeners.
It's a valuable thing to have. We had a few of those guys here.
This always reminds me, when I'm talking about this, to the Pro Bowl back when you actually used to play the game. The biggest issue all week was always that all of the Pro Bowl tackles that made it were always left tackles.
Left tackles. And somebody had to go play right.
And nobody wanted to play right because it was a different, like your right leg's back and sit to your left. You're using your hands different.
They all didn't want to play it, and it would devolve into the youngest guy with the least Pro Bowls, always had to play right, and he would be getting his ass kicked every game, and we'd have to slide it over to him because that was the only problem with the pass rush. So it's definitely a thing.
It's definitely hard, but for some guys, it it's easier than others i would assume that it's like driving on the other side of the road all right there we go and then at witte's version if you could pick one article of clothing to wear for the rest of your life what would it be interesting that's a tough question where am i at in the world

yeah and what is like does this mean if i pick a shirt i can't wear pants i'm assuming this is like

what outfit or do i have to wear like suspenders because i got to get like top and bottom like uh

coverage again this is that there's not enough to this question let's go let's assume it's outfit

let's say let's say you get shoes a lower half and upper half that's what you get again where am i at

Thank you. There's not enough to this question.
Let's assume it's outfit. Let's say you get shoes, a lower half, and an upper half.
That's what you get. Again, where am I at? Well, this is the whole point.
You don't know. You only get to choose it, and it has to be ready to adapt to any place that you might be.
All right. Well, then I'll go hoodie and sweatpants and some Jordans.
Hoodies, sweatpants. Jordans, I can do everything.
Actually, not Jordans. I got to go like combat boots.
I was about to say, you can't go Jordans. You can't go Jordans.
Combat boots. Combat boots.
All purpose. And that's why they're combat boots.
They got to be ready for everything. If it starts to get really hot, roll those fuckers up.
Short shorten those sleeves up maybe tuck the get rid of the hoodie yeah put it in your fucking pouch yeah that's what i'm saying you just cut the hoodie put it in your in your sweatshirt pouch though well if you cut it then it's ruined forever no then you put it in your pouch and when you need it again you just No, you just- One of those zipper ones where the hoodie comes out. Just tuck it underneath the- You can find a way.
I would go wool clothing because it's antimicrobial, so I don't have to worry about it getting as dirty as cotton or synthetic materials. Okay.
A decent medium thickness wool so that I'm pretty warm most of the time, and I'm trying to stay out of cold climates. I would go with a decent medium wool sweat because it's breathable so that when

it's hot out, you still get some breathability. And when it's cold out, it still retains some

insulatory properties. And then I would go wool socks, and I would go hiking boots so that you're kind of good to do whatever you want them.
You are going to be one smelly motherfucker because wool, everything is going to be hot as fuck. No, no, it breathes.
It breathes. No, it doesn't.
Wool is a known breathable. Jason, you wear wool in 80 in 80 degree weather you are sweating your ass off well just roll the pant legs up you're still gonna see it shit's on your back and your chest if it's on your shoulders you're gonna start to sweat what did you say you were going for pants sweatpants i'm just going sweat how is that you don't think that's going to be hot in 80 degrees no No.
What are you talking about? Not if I roll it up. But if you got the wool, the wool breeze better than cotton.
Are you going cotton sweatpants? No. What are you going? I'm going wool sweatpants.
You're going like synthetic? Wool sweatpants. All right.
That does it for no dumbass questions. I'm sick of these dumbass questions.
You guys come up with some really fucking good dumb questions. Please, please, please.
Not dumb questions, please. I'm starting to get kind of pumped.
That does it for no dumb questions. Brought to you by Burger King.
