Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, Boarshead. Ooh, a little meat.

Speaker 2 The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means. Time to eat meat.

Speaker 1 Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend.

Speaker 2 Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.

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

Speaker 1 What's your go-to deli platter, Jason?

Speaker 2 I mean, any of them.

Speaker 2 Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got Pepper Jack.
You got Provolone.

Speaker 2 You got cheddar. You got beer cheese.
You got salami. You got kilbasa.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 2 Don't be all archy with me. Ritz crackers.
Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are around. Those are kind of nice too.

Speaker 2 If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin. If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home.

Speaker 2 Visit your local Boarshead Deli. They'll hook you up with a ready-made platter.

Speaker 1 Ooh.

Speaker 2 Or you can build on your own.

Speaker 1 There you go. Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor.
Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905. How about it?

Speaker 2 It's just a great name, too.

Speaker 1 Over 100. Yeah, you know what you're getting.

Speaker 2 Boar's head.

Speaker 1 Wait, so Reese's color is orange, and the Oreo cookie was invented in 1912.

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

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

Speaker 3 We all came to see Travis. And let me tell you something.
He was just trying to act like he was so professional as a football player.

Speaker 2 I'm so focused.

Speaker 3 Then he came out there with that stupid mustache.

Speaker 1 Trying to act like

Speaker 1 he came out there with that stupid mustache.

Speaker 1 Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. Dude, that is so fucking good.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Lane. Lane is a, he's got a a sneaky voice, man.

Speaker 2 No, Lane's, I've known for

Speaker 2 a long time. Even when we started doing this three years ago, Lane.

Speaker 1 He can hold a tune, man.

Speaker 2 Very sneaky, like country kind of southern.

Speaker 2 Like in another lifetime, Lane could have been a country music artist. No question about it.
He's got that voice, that iconic draw.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's got that country star-like aura to him, too.

Speaker 2 No, yeah, he fits in with the vibe.

Speaker 1 Well, everybody in the comments were appreciating Jason's fuck yeah at the end. Jason, you haven't seen this yet?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Fuck yeah.

Speaker 1 And we didn't get a chance to talk about this on the show yet. Jason, you got to work with Stevie Nicks.

Speaker 2 Yeah, baby.

Speaker 1 Jason, what can you tell the 92%ers about this?

Speaker 2 Stevie Nicks, the legendary Stevie Nicks, came on and did a duet with me.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 2 Which in itself, like pretty crazy to actually be on a track with Stevie Nicks. I mean, absolutely unreal.

Speaker 2 Like, probably the most legendary female singer, especially of her generation, and maybe, I mean, I don't know, man. This is like a such a unique voice, such a unique artist that was good for so long.

Speaker 2 The fact that I'm singing with her, this legend

Speaker 2 is pretty unreal.

Speaker 1 And isn't she just the best in person, too?

Speaker 2 One of the nicest people I've ever talked to.

Speaker 1 It blows you up.

Speaker 2 She was an absolutely beautiful personality. She, you could tell she likes, she loves people, she loves music, she loves the art of making music.

Speaker 2 Brought a breath of fresh air into the recording studio. We were able to actually get in the studio at the same time, which is really hard.

Speaker 2 A lot of times when we're adding a lot of the big-time artists that are actually like doing this for a living, a lot of times they come on, but we have to kind of, you know, they can't come into the studio because they're busy doing their own thing, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah. This was really cool.

Speaker 2 We were able to get Stevie in studio, actually sing together, which like I'll be able to cherish that memory for the rest of my lifetime.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's so cool, man. Hell yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was just really, really cool. We got Stevie, Boys to Men is on the track.
You Travis and I sing on

Speaker 1 now. That you want to talk about like full circle.

Speaker 1 That is exactly who, like, when I think of Christmas music from like my childhood, like, obviously, you got the legendary songs from like before we were even born, but like growing up, like,

Speaker 1 oh, yeah, you already know, but the songs that were created as like we were growing up.

Speaker 1 I mean, Boys to Men had so many bangers and they're, they like, when I hear their voice, it kind of like reminds me or puts me in that Christmas mood. And to be on the same

Speaker 1 song as them is, is fucking insane.

Speaker 2 Yeah, when they, when we first started doing that song, I actually didn't know if it was going to work because it's like an RB song. And when I think of Christmas music, I do not think of RB.

Speaker 1 What? No, I don't.

Speaker 2 I just, I think of, you know, Frank Sinatra. I think of pop music.
Like, you know, you got your Mariah Carey, your Justin Timberlake. And this is before Boys to Men.

Speaker 2 This is just when Zach wrote the song, right? Zach Miller writes a song. And I'm already like, I don't know, this doesn't feel right.
And the more you listen to it, you're just like, oh, my gosh.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Actually, Zach killed this.
R ⁇ B is perfect. And I think we all really were hoping that, you know, maybe there was a chance in hell that Boys to Men would want to.

Speaker 2 come and collaborate on this with us. And sure enough,

Speaker 2 they hopped on to a Christmas time in Cleveland Heights, which is even more special.

Speaker 2 They have a song tributing our hometown and in some ways a representation for everybody who's longing for home around the holidays was pretty special.

Speaker 1 It was awesome, man. I can't wait to play that thing while we're in the Christmas spirit and snow's falling and there's presence under the tree, baby.

Speaker 2 How about that? Well, there's great news for all you United Tubercers. We're debuting the Heights Hotline on our Wondery Plus exclusive episode, dropping this Thursday, October 31st.

Speaker 1 How about that? I love expanding my world. Fan mentions of the week.
Let's move on to some fan mentions, baby.

Speaker 1 On last week's episode, Jason accepted Pat McAfee's and Van's challenge to kick a field goal in his Tim's, in his buttas, baby. Yo.
For a great cause.

Speaker 1 And now our good friend, Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is also getting involved. Why don't we check out this clip?

Speaker 4 All right, Jason. Heard what you said about kickers.

Speaker 1 I'd like to politely disagree.

Speaker 4 Find back if he called you out last week, challenged you to kick in your Tims. This week, I'm going to kick in some vans.
A superior kicking shoe.

Speaker 1 Superior kicking shoe.

Speaker 2 He's got the vans on. All right, let's see it.

Speaker 1 Let's see it.

Speaker 1 Something tells me he's going right down the

Speaker 1 nice slight draw. Just how you

Speaker 1 cook it up. Very pretty.
Yeah, he must have done that before.

Speaker 2 He just did a nice, easy 35-yard field.

Speaker 1 It's got to be, Jason. you just got to hit it right on the nose, man.

Speaker 2 Just got to hit it right there on the button. I'm going to have to tow it.
You can't go do a soccer style kick with Tim's on. You're not going to get the proper ankle flexion, the boots.

Speaker 2 So I'm going to have to go Lou Groza.

Speaker 1 I'm going to have to tow it. Yeah.
So

Speaker 1 typically you go one, two, three steps back, two to the side. This one, you're just going three back.
Three back. And I'm just going.

Speaker 1 Man, I'm not going to lie. The toe, there's a lot of room for error on the toe.

Speaker 2 The chance this thing goes straight is minimal.

Speaker 1 Let's see this trick kick, though.

Speaker 2 What's a trick kick?

Speaker 1 Oh, what?

Speaker 2 Now he's just showing off.

Speaker 1 Now he's just showing off.

Speaker 1 That's crazy.

Speaker 1 Who is this guy a fucking sorcerer? Is that guy a Jedi? How the fuck did he do that with his feet?

Speaker 2 It's pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 That is pretty impressive. Now he does it in vans.

Speaker 2 He didn't even do it in his regular cleats.

Speaker 1 Yeah, which vans are, I mean, like you said, premium kicking shoe.

Speaker 2 92%ers and Pat McAfee and Jake Elliott. We have a big announcement.
I'm I'm officially going to Happy Valley.

Speaker 1 That's right, Penn State this week

Speaker 1 to try and college

Speaker 2 to try and kick. I've never been.
I've never been to Penn State. Oh, yeah, Happy City.

Speaker 1 Triangle Valley.

Speaker 2 You're going fly fishing in the area, but never been to state college.

Speaker 1 So it's your kind of college. You'd like that place.

Speaker 2 I'm kind of excited about this for multiple reasons. I am a little bit concerned.
I don't know if you guys saw this this week. Somebody tore their ACL warming up.

Speaker 1 Jesus.

Speaker 1 That wasn't a good one.

Speaker 1 This is one of those don't drink and drive, kids.

Speaker 1 Golly.

Speaker 1 Oh, my gosh. What are we doing?

Speaker 1 What are we doing?

Speaker 2 I mean, dude, when you don't have cleats on, this is...

Speaker 1 What are we doing?

Speaker 2 This is why I'm going straight on. I'm not giving it a plant leg.
I'm just going straight through.

Speaker 1 Dude, there's no way you make this straight on.

Speaker 2 I can't do it.

Speaker 2 I mean, The Tim's is a big, it's, it's, it's a factor that is going to cause me a lot of issues.

Speaker 1 If you, you don't have to get like the flexion of the ankle. I don't think you have to go straight on.
You can just go sideways.

Speaker 2 I don't, I think the only chance I'm making it in Tim's is going straight on. I don't think I can do the soccer style.

Speaker 1 I think you go more side. All right, dude.
I think you have more side styles.

Speaker 2 Maybe I'll take my shoes. Maybe I'll take the Tim's off and go barefoot and see if I can't get a soccer style.

Speaker 1 You're going to break your fucking toe.

Speaker 2 I'm going to break my toe.

Speaker 1 You think I got weak toes?

Speaker 1 I do think you have weak toes. Well, they are pretty.

Speaker 2 They're worn down.

Speaker 1 You wore steel-toed cleats.

Speaker 1 I did work.

Speaker 1 All righty.

Speaker 2 Well, if you too would like to take on this challenge of potentially kicking a field goal in Timberland Boots,

Speaker 2 please send us your videos of you kicking in Tim's. We would love to see them.

Speaker 1 Show Jason how it's done.

Speaker 2 Dude, I know so many people that have actually messed up their legs kicking. Pat talked about it last week after he got done.
He's playing soccer, tours, hip flexor.

Speaker 2 Connor Balwin, one time he punted a ball after practice.

Speaker 2 I don't think his knee was ever the same.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you don't want to get the hyperextension. You want to make sure all those muscles are firing so one doesn't over.
I mean, this is all, I know nothing about this.

Speaker 1 This is all what my theories are, but God damn.

Speaker 2 I think it sounds like it makes sense.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just don't go too hard.

Speaker 1 Don't go too hard.

Speaker 2 So best of luck to everybody.

Speaker 2 Hopefully you stay nice and healthy, and we can have some awesome videos of you attempting to kick in Tim's. Would love to see that.

Speaker 2 Tag us on social at New Heights Show with 1S with your kicks and Tim's. That's right.
Shout out again to our friends at Timberland and Vans. You're obviously huge fans of Some Butters.

Speaker 2 Appreciate them supporting this kick and Hurricane Relief Fund, Souls for Souls.

Speaker 1 Let's keep this thing moving. Let's move on to some football.

Speaker 2 That's right. Both topics to wrap up week eight in the NFL.
Both topics are brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. Starting with the Chiefs.
Chiefs, 27, Raiders, 20.

Speaker 2 Chiefs are now 7-0 for the first time since the 2013 season. Andy Reed is tied for the winningest coach in Allegiant Stadium.
Chiefs undefeated in Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 Those shit coaches. Oh, he's tied for the winningest coach in Allegiant Stadium.

Speaker 2 Yes. You guys had a new player in the building?

Speaker 1 Dehop.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 1 DeAndre Hopkins. We just got another one.
Joined the squad. Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 One of the many receivers who have been shopped close to this trade deadline for teams hoping to be playoff contenders.

Speaker 1 How was it? Man, it's awesome, man. Having Dehop in the building, have another vet, a guy that

Speaker 1 he's such, I call him swag champs. When you get a vet that into the building and he just, he juices everybody's confidence up.

Speaker 1 He juices everybody, like the aura and the fun that you have in the building and just going to work.

Speaker 1 He's just another guy that you can always rely on to show up and put in the work, but enjoy what he's doing and try and have some fun with it, man.

Speaker 1 And he's been awesome stepping up and stepping into the building.

Speaker 1 He had two days to get, you know, Thursday and Friday during practice to get timing with Pat and in the offense and kind of get into the routine of everything with Coach Reed's way of doing things.

Speaker 1 And man, he's just professional, just a professional guy. He came in asking questions, trying to get caught up as fast as possible.
And sure enough, we get him in the building.

Speaker 1 And I think the first third down we had, we went right to him, baby. Yeah, right to him.
And he's right on time, man.

Speaker 2 Let's go try out this shiny new weapon we got here.

Speaker 2 Yeah, last Wednesday, for those of you that aren't privy to how this happened, Hopkins was traded to the Chiefs from the Titans for a fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-round pick, but for all intents and purposes, seems pretty cheap for a guy like DeAndre Hopkins.

Speaker 2 Was there anything else that DeAndre Hopkins needs to be ready for being a member of the Kansas City Chiefs or Chiefs?

Speaker 1 I think he's such a professional, man.

Speaker 1 He knows how to win football games. He knows how to be accountable.

Speaker 1 You don't need to tell that guy much.

Speaker 1 He gets it. He gets it.

Speaker 1 And he's only made us better already.

Speaker 1 And I promise you, as he gets more incorporated into the offense and gets more in tuned with Pat and how Pat likes to do things and how he likes to do things for Pat, you know, I think all of that will just make him a very vital part of this offense.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 it's fun to have him in the building, man. It is, man.
Like I said, he's a swag champ, just the coolest guy, you know, and he definitely juices up the room, man. Juices up the huddle.

Speaker 2 Well, we have some post-game comments on Hopkins from some of your teammates. Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 2 uh said as i looked back at the tablet that's uh for those of you that don't know there's an ipad on the side of the game so you can kind kind of see what's happening.

Speaker 2 As I look back at the tablet, there's a couple of times where in man-to-man coverage, he was just really working and winning, Mahomes said of Hopkins.

Speaker 2 Even the touchdown to Travis, if you look back on his side, he's open too for a touchdown. I know the type of player he is.
So, Pat, obviously, big fan of DeAndre, Dehop.

Speaker 2 Coach Reed was also quoted as saying he wanted to be in there more, which is positive. He finished with two receptions for 29 yards on three targets.

Speaker 2 I understand he'll get more chances in the next game.

Speaker 1 Without a doubt. Without a doubt.
And obviously, we'll have more plays in the base game plan that we put in on Wednesdays. We didn't get him in the building until Thursday.

Speaker 2 It's a late edition for the week. It's hard to kind of just, you know, throw a bunch of plays at him.

Speaker 1 Exactly. And yeah, you could re-watch in that game, man.
He was out there breaking guys off. It's just fun, like I said, to have him in the building.
Yeah, he's

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 1 There's no drop-off with him at all.

Speaker 2 Well, speaking of throwing a bunch of things at you, Big Yeti had a big day. That's right.

Speaker 2 He led all receivers this past Sunday, finishing with 10 receptions for 90 yards and got his first study of the season. How about that? Big Yeti back in the end zone.
Ah, how's it feel?

Speaker 1 It felt good to be in the end zone, man. I hadn't felt that end zone in a long time.
It was kind of like, oh, shit, what do I do now? You know, it was one of those things. I haven't been in a while.

Speaker 2 You went with the natural spike, natural spike.

Speaker 1 It's like when you go back home, you're just like, well, now what do I do? Do I see this person first or that person first? Do I go to the high school? Do I go to my favorite restaurant?

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? You're just kind of sitting there like, what should I do? What should I do? So many things.

Speaker 1 I was lucky my guy D-Hob came up and saved me because I was just kind of sitting there not doing a goddamn thing. But it was electric to get in the end zone.

Speaker 1 And anytime we get in the end zone right now,

Speaker 1 you got to take that momentum and run with it, baby. That was our focus coming into this game: not settling for field goals.
We did on a few drives and hurt ourselves on a few others, backed up.

Speaker 1 But it's a mentality right now that we're just going to make sure that we give our defense touchdowns.

Speaker 2 Got to have them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when you give

Speaker 1 chris jones and that front and spags the ability to blitz on on third downs and really bring the pressure and put teams in passing situations uh i mean that is a tough tough defense man and uh and we love them for it man and i think giving them points early is is only going to make everybody's job a whole lot easier man we also got another big yeti lateral towards the end of the first half which

Speaker 2 my man p. Ron was not as uh well I guess he was ready for it you guys definitely knew you were doing this one this one felt more planned planned out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's why I gotta, I gotta just calm down. I got a little excited.

Speaker 1 I fucking, before he was like able to like get ready for the lateral, I felt like guys were closing on me and I could pitch it to him. He could get out of bounds.

Speaker 1 It was, it was way too, it was, it was too much. It was chaos.
And I, uh, I, I told him afterwards, like, my bad dog, I won't put you in a situation like that again.

Speaker 1 Uh, and he told me, he was like, don't worry, man, I'll be ready for it. But it's still, you know, when the ball's on the ground, when you do something like that,

Speaker 1 can all i can like hear and see is just coach read just

Speaker 1 come here don't ever do that ever again

Speaker 1 with my jersey on your back don't you ever do that with me so time out is this this one wasn't designed because this one did look designed most of the time when you do it you're doing it out of nowhere on your own no if it was designed he would have i think he would have been more ready for it i kind of just threw it on him fair enough i'm not gonna lie him the ball hitting the ground kind of

Speaker 1 it helped It did.

Speaker 1 Ironically, it did help a little bit.

Speaker 2 It threw the safety off or the corner.

Speaker 1 The corner, yeah. Yeah.
Well, I guess that is the safety he was playing.

Speaker 1 He was playing that two-invert or whatever it is. Yeah.
So if you're going to do dumb shit, don't do real dumb shit. It's a golden rule that I grew up with.

Speaker 1 You know, if you're going to be stupid, don't be real stupid. There we go.
Just got to, you know, contain the stupidity and just be great.

Speaker 2 That's Travis Kelseyism.

Speaker 1 Just be great, get the ball, get it north. I'm fortunate that we got in the field goal range there, and I didn't cough the ball up to the Raiders, man.

Speaker 2 Maybe the play of the game. The Chiefs are up 17, 13 in the third.
Raiders have the ball on the three-yard line, and we're denied. That's right.
Big-time goal line stand.

Speaker 2 The Raiders went for it on fourth down. Tershawn Warden, Sachs, Gardner, Minshew for a turnover on Downs.

Speaker 2 Yeah, was the goal line stand the play of the game? That was at a point.

Speaker 1 100%. It got me fired.
It got me fired up, man. I was out there screaming and hollering.
And you could hear how many Chiefs fans were in the Allegiance Stadium, too, man.

Speaker 1 That place absolutely erupted when they got the fourth down stand because we had just had a big turnover and

Speaker 1 backed up turnovers typically end in points. And when you can steal the ball back with a team trying to go for it on fourth down, man, it's just electric.
You get so much momentum.

Speaker 1 And I'm pretty sure after that, we drove the ball all the way down and found a way to. at least get some points.
Yeah. That 19-play field goal drive.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. That's a long

Speaker 2 drive for just a field goal.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 But 10 minutes o'clock, you guys freaking really got after it. Yeah, I don't know if there's anything more electric than a goal line stand.

Speaker 2 It is just like pure adrenaline when that fourth down doesn't work out. Oh, yeah.
We also got a great post from Drew Tranquil after the game.

Speaker 1 Drank.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he wasn't having any of this nonsense. Drew Tranquil said, Kermit and the boys vibing.
out in Arrowhead West.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 2 So Allegiant Stadium is now Arrowhead West, according to Drew Tranquil. Love that.
Was the Chiefs' defense more fired up than usual to play the Raiders with all of the chatter?

Speaker 1 I don't think it was a season.

Speaker 2 I don't think it's seasoning and leading up to the season.

Speaker 1 I don't think it really takes chatter for everybody to get fired up for a division rivalry.

Speaker 1 I think everybody knows what's at stake, and everybody wants to rise to the occasion and really make their statement.

Speaker 1 All the Kermit stuff that happened between the Raiders and them saying that they had the formula to stop Pat Mahomes.

Speaker 1 I think that was just icing on the cake of motivation to really go out there and show them that they didn't have that formula, you know. And we got to go out there and prove it again.

Speaker 1 We got to prove it again when we play them down the road here after Thanksgiving. And I know they'll be ready because we were out there, we were in a bar fight for four quarters there.

Speaker 1 And we were fortunate enough to get that goal line stand, milk a lot of the clock, put some more points up on the board, get a two-score lead. But that team fights, man.

Speaker 1 Like I said, Coach Pierce, he's got those guys flying around

Speaker 1 playing tough football, man. And Max Crosby Crosby is a fucking dog, man.

Speaker 1 Yes, he is. I can't get my fucking hands on him.
I got to be better in the running against him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and

Speaker 1 he does a great job of just being, you know, wrecking havoc, man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he's one of those guys where you talk shit like you hate him during the game, and then afterwards, it's nothing but love, man.

Speaker 1 I got so much respect for him and how he carries himself and how he stands on being the face of that franchise and doesn't, you know, shy away from

Speaker 1 shy away from anything. You know, He loves the Raiders' organization.
You can see that, and he just wants to win, man.

Speaker 2 Chiefs defense also just added a new weapon. Patriots, former linebacker Josh Uchi.
Yes, sir. Had 11 and a half sacks in 2022.
He's an athlete, man. Sure.

Speaker 2 He's like a typical Patriots backer that can kind of do a little bit of everything.

Speaker 2 So those are always good pieces, especially

Speaker 1 my man Spags.

Speaker 2 He likes pieces like that.

Speaker 2 Guys, you can do all sorts of fun stuff with. That's always fun.

Speaker 2 Trev, you caught up with the Raiders rookie tight end, Brock Bowers, after the game. Yeah.
Do you typically ask for jerseys or were you just getting into the National Tight End Day season?

Speaker 1 You know, I always try and reach out to the rookies or at least the young guys getting into the league. I think Brock is obviously leading all tight ends in, I think, receptions and

Speaker 1 receiving yards.

Speaker 1 I'm not sure about receptions. I know he definitely has the yards right now.
And 500-plus yards through, what is it, seven, eight games for him as a rookie?

Speaker 1 I mean, that's fucking, that's damn good right there. So he's got a lot of promise to be, you know, a staple at the tight end position for a long, long time.
It being his rookie year.

Speaker 1 And he came into the league so young, only playing three years at Georgia.

Speaker 1 And watching him play, man,

Speaker 1 he's got a smooth game. You know, he's out there running similar routes to what I was kind of running earlier on in my career.
And

Speaker 1 I just

Speaker 1 always, always want to make sure I look out for the young tight ends in the league and let them know they got my support, man.

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 2 we got some LeBron stats. Travis now has the second longest active streak of games with at least one reception at 165 games behind only

Speaker 2 Deion. His new teammate, DeAndre Hopkins.
That's right, with 169.

Speaker 2 We guys talked about this.

Speaker 2 Are you guys both aware that you're...

Speaker 1 We both know that we were drafted the same year. Obviously, he was drafted to Houston.

Speaker 1 I was the third rounder to Kansas City. And it's just been cool to see how accountable he's been everywhere, every organization, every offense he's been, and he's been the vocal point.
And

Speaker 1 I just can't wait to see how

Speaker 1 his role in this offense keeps progressing. But no, we haven't talked about this.
And I'm pretty sure, I mean, I don't give a damn about it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't think either one of us are thinking about the streaks. We just go out there and we just ball.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, I think that you just kind of go out there and play, right?

Speaker 2 Mahomes became the fastest quarterback to 30,000 career passing yards and threw his 52nd regular season touchdown to none other than Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 2 That's right, moving the quarterback tight end duo into third place in NFL history in that category.

Speaker 1 That's pretty freaking cool. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Rivers and

Speaker 1 Gage have like 100 and like 19 years.

Speaker 2 You're never catching them.

Speaker 1 Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 They played like 15, 16 years together. And Gronk and Brady, they played 13 years together and had, I think,

Speaker 1 100 as well with him going down to Tampa and having a bunch of teddies there outside of the unbelievable career they had in New England. So, yeah,

Speaker 1 that's probably not going to get touched. So I'll take bronze medal in that.
I'll take a bronze medal in that. That's fun.
Next week, the Chiefs are at home versus the Bucs on Monday Night Football.

Speaker 1 Jason, you're in KC again, doll. Can't wait.
What's up?

Speaker 1 You were tailgating with

Speaker 1 the people. You were one with the people, the Chiefs Kingdom,

Speaker 2 as well as the uh saints uh fan base true true true true true true do you have any uh fun stuff you're uh getting into yet or do you not know yet um i don't really know yet i think we'll find out i mean we haven't talked about it too much as a monday night football team uh i'm gonna go out and uh yeah we'll see what we get into i think there's listen i love going to kc love getting to watch trab play so not only do i get to work the first half but i'll be able to hang out and see a bunch of friends and family and familiar faces in the second half and catch up with you after the game.

Speaker 2 So it's always fun when I get to come to Kansas City and watch Trail play.

Speaker 1 Bans of City.

Speaker 2 Hey, y'all.

Speaker 1 Well, the Bucs are putting up points on offense. So

Speaker 1 need a big week in terms of prep this week so we can get on the same page and make sure that we put up some tutties for our defense, man. But that's enough about the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 Let's get to the rest of the biggest stories coming out of week eight in the NFL as we start with the Eagles. Hey.
Eagles 37, Bengals 17. Got that.
Damn, they put up 37 on the Bengals.

Speaker 2 Yeah, buddy.

Speaker 1 Fly, Eagles. Fly.
Go, birds, baby. Jason, initial thoughts on the game.

Speaker 2 I thought this is the best game the Eagles have played collectively in a long time. I mean, they were good on both sides of the ball.
The defense played well.

Speaker 2 Offense, probably their most complete game they've played, you know, this season, I'd say. Yeah.
And the Bengals, I know that their record indicates that they're not very good.

Speaker 1 Dude, that team.

Speaker 2 They've been in every single game. Like, these guys have been

Speaker 2 very close in all of them. So to be able to come out on top top like this against a team that has played pretty much everybody tight in Cincinnati, I thought it was a very impressive game.

Speaker 2 And I think in particular, Jalen Hurts played his ass off, man. He was on point.
He was dialed in. He was making smart decisions.
The offense was in rhythm. And that's the big thing.

Speaker 2 Ever since AJ went down before Tampa, it's felt like the offense has been a little bit like... not disconnected, but just very spotty.

Speaker 2 And it hasn't really been able to find that cohesiveness, that timing.

Speaker 2 And they had it this past week against the Bengals. So it was fun to watch.

Speaker 1 Well, despite not scoring in the first quarter yet again, they still put up 37 points.

Speaker 2 It was close. It was close.
They got a field goal like right after the first quarter ended, I believe.

Speaker 1 That's still, though, man, that's fucking insane that you don't score for a quarter and you still put up 37 points.

Speaker 1 The Eagles do remain the NFL. That's the second half offense in the NFL, I believe.
Yeah, right now. I mean, that's a good half to turn it on, baby.

Speaker 1 They remain the only NFL team scoreless in the first quarter, partly due to a Bengals 10-minute opening drive, which is also

Speaker 1 starting ice cold, just waiting for the ball to get back in your hands or get the ball for the first time. Jalen finished with 236 yards with one touchdown, three rushing TDs.
That's right.

Speaker 1 That's touch pushes in there, baby. No interceptions, which is always a big thing.
Turnovers will kill you.

Speaker 1 One of the most electric plays of the game came towards the end of the third quarter, though. Jalen connected with Devontae Smith.
Yeah, buddy. That's right.
Skinny Batman for a 45-yard TD.

Speaker 1 And you just got to love it when Skinny Batman comes down with the play because

Speaker 1 he's just one of the best teammates you could have, man. You could tell the guy just does it right, man.

Speaker 2 You added something to the swear jar at the end of this play. Yeah, buddy.

Speaker 1 Yes, you do.

Speaker 1 You do fucking do this. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You do fucking do this, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He lost his chain.

Speaker 1 He still doesn't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 You know why he doesn't give a fuck? Because he fucking do's this.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just call it, baby.

Speaker 1 I'm getting fucking fired up just

Speaker 1 fired fired me up right there. Hey, that's our guy.
He ain't lying.

Speaker 2 He does it.

Speaker 1 He does lying. He does it very well, too.
Glad to see him back in the end zone yet again.

Speaker 1 Saquon finished with 108 yards himself, topped 100 scrimmage yards for this sixth time in seven games with the Eagles. The guy's having a fucking unbelievable season, man.

Speaker 1 If I got any notes for the Eagles, I'd say get Saquon the ball. Keep giving him the ball.
Not bad. The Eagles also scored on five of their second half possessions.

Speaker 1 Like you said, they're one of the best teams in the NFL in the the second half. And that is always a good time to turn it on.
Jason, what do you think has caused this offense to suddenly start

Speaker 1 having that click, having that rhythm and

Speaker 1 finding points?

Speaker 2 You know, I don't know. I mean, they've had a lot of like, obviously there have been injuries.
AJ and Smitty were out at a certain point.

Speaker 2 And then I think it just felt like it took a little bit to get that rhythm back.

Speaker 2 It felt like they got to a little bit more play action this week. And it just felt like, you know, they were on it.
Everybody was on it this week. And the timing was there.
The cohesiveness was there.

Speaker 2 It felt like the plan all went together. It just felt in every phase from, you know, the players to the coaches.
Everybody was really on one this game.

Speaker 2 And, you know, that's one of the reasons it's so hard in football is like it only takes a little bit to be off, even when you got the players that the Eagles have, even when you got the guy like Jalen Hurts back there.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So hopefully this is something that they can build on. They can build on this confidence, this cohesion, and

Speaker 2 keep it moving forward because it's fun to watch, man. When the Eagles are on, when A.J.
Brown is on,

Speaker 2 it is a fun offense to watch for dang sure.

Speaker 1 Damn straight. Well, let's talk a little Eagles defense because holding that high-powered Bengals offense to only 17 points, I mean, that's damn good.

Speaker 1 So maybe the biggest upgrade since September has been the play of the Eagles secondary. Yes, sir.
Burrow was one for two for 13 yards, targeting rookie DB

Speaker 1 Quinyon Mitchell. It's pretty good.

Speaker 1 Cooper Dijon has allowed five receptions on eight targets for just 25 yards since becoming the starting slot cornerback, also known as the nickel, in Philadelphia in week six.

Speaker 2 Both of these rookies have been playing lights out. Quinyon Mitchell has been up to the task against everybody this year.
It's really been impressive to watch his ascent as a young player.

Speaker 2 And then Coop started getting the start a couple weeks ago, as you just said, in week six. The defense is just playing more aggressive, and it's a lot of fun to watch right now.

Speaker 2 They've really had two subpar games when you think about it against the Saints and Tampa Bay and

Speaker 2 Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Sorry, they played lights out against the Saints.

Speaker 2 Atlanta,

Speaker 2 for two different reasons. I mean, Atlanta, they just could not stop that.
outside zone runs to the weak side and uh they finally have got that figured out and then,

Speaker 2 and Tampa just felt like everything was so off and like, you know, very passive in terms of what they were giving underneath. Now, Tampa Bay has some great players.

Speaker 2 I mean, if Mike Evans, you want to give those guys some cushions, so I get it, but they have answered the bell by being much more aggressive. In particular, there was a great play by

Speaker 2 Cooper DeGene on a fourth down

Speaker 2 where Chase was going in motion. And he even said, like, the moment he kind of saw Chase going motion, motion, he had an idea that they were going to try and get him the ball on something quick.

Speaker 2 And sure enough, they try to throw it out

Speaker 2 to Chase in the flat, like right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, it was one of those motions where you go back and forth.
And I mean, that's what you, yeah, that's what you do on those kind of motions is you try and get the ball quick to him.

Speaker 1 Heads up play by the rookie. And sorry for saying your last name, Dijon, instead of Dijine.

Speaker 1 I don't, yeah, I think that's it.

Speaker 1 I mean, it makes sense. That's how it's spelled.
Jason, you got any final thoughts on the game? Is it are the Eagles...

Speaker 2 I think they're a new team because they're continuing to get better. Nice.
They're continuing to evolve as the season's going. Nice.

Speaker 2 We've known this. We've known that the Eagles have great players.
Have they been

Speaker 2 like the best team every single week? No, because

Speaker 2 this is a process of getting better each and every week. The defense has shown that.
They're being more aggressive in the secondary. The defensive line has really stepped up on offense.

Speaker 2 Jalen Hurts played his best game of the year in part because all the weapons are there. The offensive line made him feel really comfortable.

Speaker 2 Him and the coaches continue to get on the same page, especially with new play caller Kellen Moore. And he just felt comfortable back there.
You could tell.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 You know, as long as that continues to trend in that way, you're going to see a great team from Philadelphia because they have the talent. They have great coaches and great scheming.
Like, this is

Speaker 2 awesome to see. This is what I think everybody expected.
to see out of Philadelphia going into the season.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is the standard. This is the standard.

Speaker 2 You know, they got a big game this next week in Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 Well, Dougie P.

Speaker 1 Ooh, Dougie P. That's right.
The Jags are better than their two and six record. We all know that.

Speaker 1 Dougie P can scheme some stuff up pretty damn good, but they also have four of those six losses by less than one score.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they're another team that's been close in most of these games. Their record could very easily be different.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah.

Speaker 2 It's a big game this week.

Speaker 1 Well, we got a few LeBron stats of the game.

Speaker 1 Jalen Hurts is the first quarterback in NFL history to have three or more games with three plus rushing touchdowns yay there we go jalen there we go identical twins chase and sydney brown faced off for the first time in the nfl and also made history as the first canadian identical twins to go head-to-head in the nfl nice nice nice

Speaker 1 here we go here we go eh huh the twins facing off eh

Speaker 1 all right eh

Speaker 5 this is a real good story about bronx and his dad ryan real United Airlines customers.

Speaker 1 We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew.

Speaker 6 I got to sit in the driver's seat.

Speaker 1 I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age.

Speaker 5 That's Andrew, a real United pilot.

Speaker 1 These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

Speaker 6 It felt like I was the captain.

Speaker 1 Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 1 All right, now let's keep it moving to the week eight roundup. We had a bunch of great games and and a bunch of big-time matchups.

Speaker 1 Let's get into a few of those and talk about a few before we get to Nisi Nash Bets.

Speaker 1 A fun interview, talking about some grotesquery and some Reno 911.

Speaker 1 Starting with the Monday night football game.

Speaker 2 Yeah, a little Monday night action. Obviously, you know, I was talking about it last night.
I think everybody was talking about it on Twitter. The George Pickens catch or not catch.

Speaker 1 Dude, insane.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think everybody's been very quick to point out he needs both feet down, not just two feet.

Speaker 1 And I got to admit, I didn't know what the ruling was.

Speaker 2 Like, he clearly got two steps down.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Right? Here it is for everybody that didn't see it.

Speaker 2 Gets pushed, and then somehow the left never touches.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so

Speaker 1 the right foot hits twice. The left one, because he got hit the way he did,

Speaker 1 never catches the ground, which

Speaker 1 is a play by the defender. I mean, hell of a fucking play.
And that's why you finish the play, even if the guy's got it, got it in his hands. That's why you finish the play like that, man.

Speaker 1 I said this last night. This is a great point.
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 Every once in a while, there's a catch made that makes everybody reevaluate what a catch is. Like there's the Des Bryant one that happened in the playoff game.

Speaker 1 Oh, there's so many.

Speaker 2 Where it's just like, I think to everybody watching, this so much obviously should have been a catch.

Speaker 1 He catches it midway in the end zone, and they rule him out of bounds.

Speaker 2 And I get it. By rule,

Speaker 1 it does say both feet.

Speaker 2 You need the right and the left. I understand that that is the rule.
I just think that there's,

Speaker 2 see, I go back and forth on this, though, too. Like, by this rule, somebody could catch the ball in the middle of the field and hop on one leg till they get out of bounds, and he's out of bounds.

Speaker 2 Like, no, I mean, come on.

Speaker 2 But we've seen how much changing we, every time they add an addendum to any of these rules, addendum, nice.

Speaker 2 Every time they add like this little, like, oh, it's then this or then this, it feels like it becomes harder in some ways to gauge what a catch is. Yeah.
So maybe we shouldn't change it.

Speaker 2 We just know that

Speaker 2 everyone knows that's a catch, just not by the NFL rules. Yeah,

Speaker 2 played by George Pickens.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And I feel like there's, in some ways, I feel like they should add an addendum and say, like, hey, if you hop twice on the same leg, like clearly two separate steps.

Speaker 2 That should be inbounds.

Speaker 1 But if you're not going to be able to do that, there should be a good judgment clause, and there should be somebody in New York saying yes. That was that I override that.
That was a touchdown.

Speaker 1 I know the rules might not say it, but we just don't have enough leeway to like create rules for every single like situation.

Speaker 1 It's just like, or maybe they change maybe they change this and they put it in there.

Speaker 1 Like if you if you if you hop twice and have a football play or have the possession and that counts as two feet, like one foot and an elbow, one foot and a knee, you know, all these other, but I guess two feet of the the same foot is not a catch.

Speaker 2 I mean, the problem is if they change it, it just leads to like more discrepancy.

Speaker 2 Like, there's going to be one where, like, a guy's going to step and then toe-drag the same foot, and then people are going to be like, That's two feet.

Speaker 2 And it's like, dude, this was like two very distinct steps. He caught it five yards in bounds when he first

Speaker 2 got it on his hands. Yeah.
So that's the problem with change.

Speaker 1 It's tough. It's tough.
To me,

Speaker 2 I mean, I don't know how you can be out of bounds the way

Speaker 1 it was a mind-blowing play. I remember seeing it just watching.
When they first said, like, his left foot never touched, I was like, what?

Speaker 2 How is that possible with where he caught it at?

Speaker 1 And then it's like, okay.

Speaker 2 But I guess the easy way to say it is like, hey, you know, drag your foot.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yeah, I hear it.

Speaker 2 Straighten that left foot out.

Speaker 1 Don't even put it with the refs' hands. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Either way, hell of a play by George Pickens.

Speaker 1 And a hell of a play by the DB. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 1 National Tight End Day, or as I like to call it,

Speaker 2 Sunday. Travis, tight ends across the league, celebrated

Speaker 2 Travis' favorite holiday by setting all sorts of records. That's right.
There were 16 total touchdowns, the most tight end touchdowns ever on National Tight Ends Day.

Speaker 2 This is why it was National Tight Ends Day. I mean, that's a brilliant idea by tight ends.
Hey, let's create a national tight end so all our coaches scheme up touchdown plays for the tight ends.

Speaker 1 Shout out to George Kittle, man. Brilliant.
George Kittle thing right there. He came up with that one.
It was brilliant.

Speaker 2 There was also 177 total catches on National Tight End Day, the most ever on National Tight End Day. Some highlights, I think everybody saw 49ers.
George Kittle had a huge touchdown play.

Speaker 1 George Rowland had a big, yeah, he had a nice day. Six catches from 128.

Speaker 2 Kyle Shanahan was another tutty, man. Kyle Shanahan was definitely celebrating National Tight End Day.
Bucs tight end, Cade Otten. That's right.

Speaker 2 Cade.

Speaker 1 With their two main receivers. Sneaky solid year this year, man.
That's right. We've got two receivers to tell.

Speaker 1 He's becoming the old reliable with no gloves, baby. Two tutties.
Dude, I hate.

Speaker 2 I don't know why. I don't like when guys don't wear gloves.
It's just. It's not like I have it.
Like, listen, if T. Sharon, but it's just like, why would you put yourself at a disadvantage?

Speaker 2 I don't understand. Like, it's so much better wearing gloves.
So why do you not wear gloves?

Speaker 1 Like, what are you proving? Whatever floats your boat finds the lost remote, baby.

Speaker 2 Is it just to be like, I'm tough? Like, there's no way you're better at catching without gloves.

Speaker 1 I don't think Cade's trying to prove something like he's tough. I think he just, I just think he doesn't like gloves.

Speaker 1 It makes no sense to me.

Speaker 2 It is, like, so much easier to catch in gloves.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's not for him.

Speaker 2 There's no chance. I'm not buying it.
Like, when I say D-tackle, like, Vita Veya would never wear gloves. I'm like, do you just love fucking your fingers up? Just put some gloves on, man.

Speaker 2 You're going to be, it's going to feel way better.

Speaker 1 What's fucking his fingers up?

Speaker 2 Have you ever not worn a glove and tried to block? My right hand, I couldn't wear a glove on because I needed to snap the ball. Right.
And I could not snap with a glove on.

Speaker 2 I hate, I wanted so bad to put a glove on this hand because it would always get cut up. It would always get bloodied.
It would get bruised. And I just couldn't grab as good.

Speaker 2 Like the materials on hand that they make the gloves on.

Speaker 1 So you couldn't grab as good with the glove on, but K-Dotton. No, I can't.
No, that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 I can grab as good with the glove. But because I wasn't allowed to wear it, I didn't get that mechanical advantage.

Speaker 1 Wait, why weren't you allowed to wear it?

Speaker 2 Well, I was allowed to, but I couldn't snap the ball with it. It stuck to the ball too much.

Speaker 1 So it is too sticky in times.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's great for catching, not for throwing sometimes. Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 1 I will agree. Quarterbacks use it all the time.
Peyton Manning was a Hall of Fame quarterback.

Speaker 1 They use it.

Speaker 2 Well, I couldn't do it with

Speaker 2 the snapping, but this has nothing to do. There is absolutely nobody who cannot catch a ball better with those rubber, basically stick'em gloves on.
Like, I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 He's just got good sticky hands, man. You don't see Cade out here dropping the ball.

Speaker 1 Guy had nine catches.

Speaker 2 I don't want to make this about Cade. I just think it's dumb when people don't take advantage of all of the

Speaker 1 advantages to be able to get. For that legendary career he had.

Speaker 2 Dallas Clark was a phenomenal receiver, and he would have been 10 times better if he could catch

Speaker 1 tight end, whatever. I was saying, sorry.
He would have been 10 times better if he could have had touch on.

Speaker 1 He would have been catching the like. 10 times better.
He would have been like Odell Beckham.

Speaker 2 If he's catching the ball like that with no gloves, he would have been like.

Speaker 1 You're crazy.

Speaker 2 He'd have been out there plucking asses.

Speaker 1 You're crazy, dude.

Speaker 2 Dude, I'm not buying this.

Speaker 1 It is stupid not to wear it.

Speaker 1 It's not. Do tight ends just spend all week begging OCs for touches? No, I haven't talked to my offensive coordinator about touches.
You should have this tight end, national tight end day.

Speaker 2 You should just find like a different holiday or birthday or

Speaker 1 anything.

Speaker 2 Tom, you know, it's my birthday.

Speaker 1 Do you know what's National 87 Day? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Did Did you know it's National I Shaved My Mustache Day?

Speaker 1 Did you know it's National Harry Chess Day?

Speaker 1 Just keep coming up with them every single day.

Speaker 1 Washington, Hail Mary. Let's get into a few other games, man.
Maybe the play of the year so far. The Commanders went down 15 to 12.
Two seconds left on the clock. Jaden Daniels.

Speaker 1 uh scrambles around for a little bit and then just absolutely heaves a 66 yard pass and when i say he threw that thing from about the 35-yard line, he threw it from about his own 35-yard line.

Speaker 1 It was absolutely electric.

Speaker 1 It counted as a 52-yard Hail Mary, but let's see this pass to Noah Brown. Yep, create, create, let everybody get down there.
Let everybody get down there. Nice.
Move around.

Speaker 1 O-line's doing a great job. Shout out to Nikki Alegretti, Andrew Wiley.

Speaker 1 And then the heave. The heave.
You got to have a tip man. You got to have the tip man and then the guy in the front and the guy in the back.

Speaker 1 It's perfectly executed by the uh by the gang over there. Kingsbury does a great job of making sure his guys know what to do in a situation like that.

Speaker 1 And uh, you got great players making making big-time plays towards the end. I mean, the Bears thought they had that thing finished, yeah.
They uh they went up

Speaker 1 15-12 with uh with a few seconds left, and somehow they got into range to throw a fucking Hail Mary man. Somehow, well, I mean, the first play, the first play, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 They didn't know somehow about it, they were playing 50 yards off, playing Hail Mary on the play before.

Speaker 1 Like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's, that's tough. We got to like, you got to know, bro, when they're on the 30-yard line, they're not throwing a Hail Mary.

Speaker 2 If they're going to do anything, they're going to run like a gadget play to try and like, it's either sideline or you're running like the last play that you have, which is like a bunch of laterals, right?

Speaker 2 Like, nobody's throwing the Hail Mary from the 30.

Speaker 1 Maybe. I mean, you can, but

Speaker 2 don't usually happen.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 2 So it was surprising. I mean, they basically gave them 15 free yards to where now they are in Hail Mary territory.

Speaker 1 That's tough.

Speaker 2 They got guys talking trash. I felt, I mean, Stevenson owned it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this one sucks, man. You got fans pointing at

Speaker 1 the play, telling them that there's a play going on while

Speaker 1 he's taunting them. It got snapped.
This is tough, man. This is tough.

Speaker 1 You don't really want to be doing that before the game's over with, let alone while there could be a play being ran, but obviously

Speaker 1 it's magnified because he's the one that tipped the ball. Fuck.

Speaker 2 Not only did he tip it, but and Trav, I'll ask you this because you are the jumper on the Chiefs defensive Hail Mary.

Speaker 1 Not all the time, but yeah, there is a situation where I've gone back there. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 Not only was he celebrating, which, I mean,

Speaker 2 that alone, I feel like, and he's already announced that he fucked up. He knows he fucked up.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But then he also, when he jumped, he like swats up at the ball.

Speaker 2 I'm like, you're not supposed to do that either like everybody knows like do not hit that ball up you kind of want to stay behind I know it's harder

Speaker 1 everybody's this is you're trying to high point it you're trying to get it deflected so it's not just like a straight catch yeah but you really want to spike that thing down you want a volleyball hit that thing down two hands spike down is like the big because you get more surface area on the hand to hit it um get more control of it um and i like to stay behind the ball and come at it right so you see how he's coming down the line of scrimmage?

Speaker 1 He was coming to the goal line.

Speaker 2 He's got the screen because he was kind of late to it. He wasn't even supposed to be the jumper.
He was supposed to be the guy in the back.

Speaker 1 Everybody's got to try and make a play on the ball if they can. For sure.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm not saying that.

Speaker 1 I don't know what their defensive rules were on this. Somebody was definitely supposed to be.

Speaker 2 They came out and said he was supposed to be on Noah Browns. He was supposed to be on the guy in the back.

Speaker 2 But either way, like you said, even the guy in the back can make a play on the ball if he has the opportunity, right? Like everybody's got free reign for that.

Speaker 1 You got to have somebody on there.

Speaker 2 You ain't supposed to tip it up.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I like to stay behind it.
I like to stay behind the ball and be able to run forward at it. That way I can meet the angle better.

Speaker 2 Yeah, try and knock it down. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Either way, though, you got to try and deflect that thing down

Speaker 1 if possible by all means. And he just, he couldn't get a good hit on it, man.
And it's just...

Speaker 1 a bunch of stuff that just sucks, man, because he's taking with the heat right now. Yeah.

Speaker 2 right and um and you know he did the right thing by trying to yeah he owned up to everybody no that's all you can do and i think coach iberflues is a great coach i played against him when he was in uh dallas a lot and he used to give me night him and sean lee and some of the backers they had and i think he's a fantastic coach i don't even this shouldn't have even been this shouldn't have ever happened i think if if you if you make the right call in the first one and you play sideline and

Speaker 1 i just don't think you get into this situation to begin with yeah moving on though let's talk a little Browns football, baby. A little Believeland up there in Lake Erie, baby.
Hey, yo.

Speaker 1 Jameis leads Browns in an upset victory. Jameis Winson made his first start since 2002 and led the Browns to an incredible comeback win.
Why do you think Jameis was able to come in and

Speaker 1 cook when the Browns had looked so bad on offense?

Speaker 2 Well, first of all, they had a new play caller. Ken Dorsey was calling plays in this game.

Speaker 1 But I think also, like,

Speaker 2 Jameis came in, it was Jameis. He had a bunch of turnover-worthy plays, and he had a bunch of high-light throws.
Like, this is who Jameis has been his whole career.

Speaker 2 Like, at times, Jameis can make magic happen.

Speaker 1 This is true. Come on, man.
This dude has

Speaker 2 something.

Speaker 2 Every game he plays, it's going to be an electric play, either good or bad,

Speaker 2 and it is going to be the best soundbite of all time after the game. And he's never changed, and he still isn't changing.
He knows a white boy from Detroit.

Speaker 1 And,

Speaker 2 bro, this was the quit essential Jameis game. He played great, he had a lot of unbelievable plays.
He also had a couple plays that probably could have been turnovers that got dropped.

Speaker 1 Like, he's going to put points up.

Speaker 2 He's going to find a way to put points on the board. It might be, it's going to be a high-scoring game when Jameis is involved for both teams, usually.

Speaker 1 I'm not trying to be. Like, I love, dude, I absolutely love watching.
You already know.

Speaker 1 We're big fans of Jay Winston, man. Yeah.
Most importantly, we got some more iconic quotes from Jameis, like you just mentioned, the guy up in the white boy from Detroit.

Speaker 2 I love that he then followed it up with named Eminem. Like, everybody knows when you said, you know, a white boy in Detroit, who you're referencing.

Speaker 1 There's a white boy from Detroit that I really admired named Eminem. He said,

Speaker 1 you only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow.
This is the opportunity lasts once in a lifetime. I mean,

Speaker 1 it's great.

Speaker 1 That was his quote after the game. Before the game, though, he's in the huddle trying to get everyone fired up and ready for the game.
And he says, every one of us has an. Oh, here we go.

Speaker 1 Once in a lifetime.

Speaker 1 And with those opportunities, we have to make the most of it.

Speaker 1 Every one of us have an individual responsibility to go out there and fight for each other. Represent the names on your back, represents the names that's on your head.
Well, we don't got a big cat.

Speaker 1 So represent the values, all right? One play at a time, all right, together.

Speaker 1 He's genuinely himself, man. Well, that's why it's good.

Speaker 2 Because so many times when people are doing either the soundbites after the game or the motivational speeches, they're just latching on to like cliches and it ends up being like nothing exciting and everybody's just sitting there like, oh my gosh, will you shut up so we can go in there and freaking get dressed for this freaking game already?

Speaker 1 If you got the right one doing it, though.

Speaker 2 For sure. And Jameis is the right one.

Speaker 2 I would be as close to possible every time he's doing it because I'm like, I want to hear what this dude's about to say because it is going to be electric and fucking hilarious.

Speaker 1 I I need to hear exactly what this dude's about to say at all times. Coach quote of the week, Sean Payton had a brutally honest quote about the Panthers in quotes.

Speaker 1 That's not a good offense we've played. It's just the truth.
We expected that we're going to see a lot better teams.

Speaker 1 I mean, Sean Payton has always kept

Speaker 1 his fuck anymore. He's always spoke his mind.
Yeah, he had quite the words to say about Nathaniel Hatchett, I think his name was.

Speaker 2 He kind of walked that one back. He knew he kind of went went a little bit too hard.
He walked it back a little bit last year, but because he took some time.

Speaker 1 Everybody was giving him shit for it. Yeah,

Speaker 1 but he still spoke his mind. Panthers cornerback JC Horn also confronted Sean Payton after the game, letting him know they didn't appreciate Denver running up the score.
Interesting.

Speaker 1 The Broncos ran a fake field goal and a trick play on fourth and two while up 20s.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's fucking hilarious. That's what that is.

Speaker 1 That's fucked. What does he have against the Panthers? Who knows?

Speaker 2 It's just working on plays, I guess. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Just got to get it on film. Keep everybody honest.
We're building confidence. Special teams.
We're building confidence.

Speaker 1 Fuck it, man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Dude, listen,

Speaker 2 pretty shitty. But at the same time, like, dude, this is the NFL.
I don't want to hear nobody getting salty about running

Speaker 1 this, man. It's the NFL.

Speaker 2 When you're getting paid to do this, you don't got no right to be complaining about that.

Speaker 1 I hear you on that, man. You just got to step up, man.
Stop the fake.

Speaker 2 Why are you guys trying? We're literally, it's our job.

Speaker 1 All right. And that does it for our week eight bold topics brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express.

You keep doing this every Monday, don't you?

Speaker 2 It's my job. Yes, sir.

Speaker 2 Hey, man, this is a gift from my man Worldwide West.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot you were on like a world tour getting gifts from everybody.

Speaker 2 This is cool. That's right.
I'm getting all sorts of good gifts, knickknacks.

Speaker 2 This towel in particular has been to 17 different stadiums, Wes said.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 2 I didn't know how about that. He's been taking it everywhere.
He said, if you drop it, the rule is you got to kiss it.

Speaker 1 Rules are rules.

Speaker 2 Since this thing's been to 17 stadiums, I'm going to try to get it.

Speaker 1 Never washed.

Speaker 2 It's got some fade to it, but I don't know if that's a sun fade or if that's faded from

Speaker 1 washed. Don't know.
I can't tell you. Very interesting.
Experience any cool Steelers fan traditions?

Speaker 2 The boat stuff is pretty dope. There was a guy that was like a flying Troy Palomalu is what he said.
They get on these like boards and go out there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's exactly. Yeah, they got that.

Speaker 2 The terrible towel tradition and like some of the lore behind that and having to kiss it if you drop it. I think it's pretty cool.
Outside of that, we got to hang out with the Coast Guard.

Speaker 2 Got to sit in front of a 50-cal gun on the front of those things, which I'm like, dude, you want to like, I was like, man, this this thing, this thing can do some damage here, dude.

Speaker 2 I don't, I know you guys aren't doing any damage, but it's good to know that these guys got these things in case we need those things.

Speaker 1 You ever shot one of those things?

Speaker 2 What they had on it? Yeah. A 50-cal machine gun? No, I have not shot a 50-cal machine.

Speaker 1 If you haven't done that, you need to. When have you done it at?

Speaker 1 Nevada Viva, Las Vegas, baby.

Speaker 1 Where you can do fucking anything. And I got on the top of an old Jeep, and they had some bowling pins sitting like about a fucking quarter mile half a mile down there and i just was

I got to have some thicker material.

Speaker 1 We're out of here.

Speaker 2 That's a smoker's jacket at night and fall. So the corduroy definitely was way warmer.

Speaker 1 And then the hat just kept the heat in nice.

Speaker 1 Nice. Well, we can't pass by you rocking the old 2-5.

Speaker 1 We want to make sure that you knew ahead of time that this is

Speaker 1 amateur hour over here.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's get into it.

Speaker 1 So very similar to my acting ability. But all right, here we go.

Speaker 3 Can I just say something? Please. Of course.

Speaker 3 Travis, I'm so glad that you text me and told me you had a new phone number because I've been texting your number, trying to just gassing you up, telling you you did so good.

Speaker 3 I was asking you, like, what did your teammates say?

Speaker 3 What's your people say? Like, you know, how you feeling about it? Did you watch it?

Speaker 1 and you know what i got rickets

Speaker 1 no i said i know you ain't got brand new oh no not me not me i did have to switch it up though did you see how i shook my neck around when i said it because that's what i meant i know you didn't get brand new

Speaker 1 not me not me you know me better than that it was getting crazy it was getting crazy i was finally in a show with someone as as amazing as you i had everybody hitting me up blowing me up i had to switch it up on them man

Speaker 1 no i uh i'm sorry about that you already know and i'll tell you what i i i got clowned once i uh once i started talking about that banana hammock uh

Speaker 1 yeah this is what i've been

Speaker 1 big peter and the banana splitter that's my favorite that's my favorite line teammates think of it they're very interested in the dynamic on the show.

Speaker 1 Like they're, everybody is kind of like mind-blown on like what's really going on during the show. So that is kind of like taking like everybody's mind away from me as an actor.

Speaker 1 They're just, they're in, they're involved in

Speaker 1 the story. They're engulfed in the story now.
So it's like. That's how you know it's good.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 And then, and then during the character switch up, the look is where I started getting clowned. There was, it's just

Speaker 1 that mullet.

Speaker 1 The mullet suited me in the show, but does not suit me outside of it.

Speaker 2 I know Chris Jones has totally has said something about this show. I know Chris Jones.

Speaker 1 You know what? Chris hasn't. Chris hasn't came up to to me yet.

Speaker 1 I hope he does, though. I hope he does because 9-5 is hilarious, man.
He's one of a kind.

Speaker 3 I love it. I love it.
I just want to say, I thought you did such a good job.

Speaker 1 I appreciate that, Nacy.

Speaker 3 I hope you're not one of those people who are afraid to watch yourself because I want you to be proud of yourself. I really do.

Speaker 1 I was definitely watching myself, but it's the same thing with like

Speaker 1 my view on football or really anything that I do, even like the TV, the game show that I did on Amazon. I look at myself and I'm like, like, man, I could have did that better.

Speaker 1 I could have did this better. I could have did this better.
And I just always have this mentality of like wanting to do things better than what I did on camera or what I've done in the past. And

Speaker 1 so I just

Speaker 1 grow. That's how you grow.
We all

Speaker 1 look at it.

Speaker 3 We all look at it and say, oh, I should have made a different choice. So then the next time you get on camera, you're going to remember that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that was a question I wanted to ask you.

Speaker 2 When we watch ourselves on tape, I feel like every great football player kind of hates the way they play football they're always trying to get better is it similar when like actresses or actors are like watching themselves on tape are they like oh i wish i would have done that yeah it's it's similar well you know some people do not watch themselves really they absolutely at or a place where they're like i can't

Speaker 3 i don't want to watch it i walk away from it when it's done and i don't think about it not me if i could watch every tape back in the moment i would because i like to course correct and self-adjust in the moment.

Speaker 3 So, what I do is I try to give different, slightly different reads every time

Speaker 3 so that

Speaker 3 they have something to work with in the edit.

Speaker 1 Right. You're so good at that.
I remember the first scene we had, I was just sticking to the script. I was on, I was like word for word, trying to just stick to the script.

Speaker 1 I wasn't trying to waste anybody's time. And you, you light, you lightened the mood.
You made it so comfortable as a professional.

Speaker 1 And I did see that you were looking at the takes and like you could see you were processing how you were doing things. And it was so cool to see your professionalism and everything on set.

Speaker 1 Well, before we get to any more questions, we got to get the intro, Jason.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 We were having such a good conversation. We got to get the intro.

Speaker 3 What do we got to do?

Speaker 2 I'm going to knock it out. We're going to go right back to what we were doing, but I'm going to do this intro real quick just to

Speaker 2 hype this up a little bit. All right.
From Kansas State University, she's a daytime and prime time Emmy award-winning actress.

Speaker 2 You know her from her work in Reno 911, Get It On, Claus, Dahmer, and of course, alongside Travis and Grotesque Eddie.

Speaker 2 She is also our first non-relative female guest. Yes, that's right.

Speaker 1 That is

Speaker 2 the wonderful, Miss Nisi Nash.

Speaker 1 Miss Nisi Nash.

Speaker 1 I should say Mrs. Nisi Nash Betts, but I love that.

Speaker 3 And I love that I'm the first woman who's a non-relative.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. We had to get a real one.
We were waiting for a real one to come available. We appreciate you jumping on with us.
You already know. We had so much fun shooting Grotesquerie.

Speaker 1 And it was definitely, it was something that I was so blown away by in terms of, we kind of mentioned it already, but your professionalism and just how you made set fun.

Speaker 1 Doing the TikToks, making everybody feel like they were a part of the team. You made it a team atmosphere.
And that's where I really started to feel comfortable in doing everything.

Speaker 1 And I can't thank you enough for everything you've shown me and making everything so much fun.

Speaker 3 Well, you know, the thing of it, the thing of it is, is that the show is so dark.

Speaker 3 So I wanted to make sure that in the in-betweens, like we sitting around looking at dead bodies all day, you know,

Speaker 3 and blood is on the ground. And you know what I mean? We in the hospital set all day.
I wanted to make sure that I kept the crew up. Oh, yeah.
You know, so that we can still have fun at work.

Speaker 2 You know, a lot of people go to work and do do not have fun and i'm like no i want everybody to feel like we're having a good time you know oh yeah well you definitely did that that's for sure well speaking of uh everybody on set everyone wants to know what it was like working next to uh the diva that is travis kelse how much did you have to hold his hand he did fantastic he really looks great but i know that Just like in football, it's only as good as the people around you and the supporting cast and

Speaker 2 the other people that you're on set with. So, yeah, what was it like working with the Trav Man on an acting set?

Speaker 3 I'm going to say this. I've said this behind your back.

Speaker 2 I love where you're preferencing this already.

Speaker 3 So, I'm going to say it to your face.

Speaker 3 I have,

Speaker 3 listen, you are probably the nicest and the greediest person I've ever met in my life.

Speaker 1 Wow,

Speaker 1 you are so

Speaker 3 greedy.

Speaker 3 And you bougie greedy.

Speaker 1 Oh, my.

Speaker 3 Have you ever met anybody that was bougie greedy?

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, right here. This man right here.

Speaker 1 Okay, so here's the thing.

Speaker 3 It's one thing to be like, oh, hey, and I seen you do this.

Speaker 3 Somebody run out and give me a couple of burgers. And, you know, okay.

Speaker 3 But then somebody, I'm like, what's that you eat now?

Speaker 1 My chef prepared for that.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, what?

Speaker 1 Every time I, anytime he was not filming, he was eating.

Speaker 3 I told Travis, I said, hey, we got this scene. They're going to put food out.
You know, maybe you don't want to eat a lot because whatever you do in the first take, you got to keep it up all day.

Speaker 1 He's like, but them meatballs look good. I'm like, right.

Speaker 1 But maybe.

Speaker 3 And now you 15 and 20 meatballs in.

Speaker 1 I'm like, now how you feel?

Speaker 1 Like, I need some more caffeine. So good.
You are too funny for that. Oh, that is great.
I was, I was over, I was just trying to make sure I was, you know, eating dietary. You know, I had my diet.

Speaker 1 I had my nutrition stuff that I had to do in the offseason. I'm making up a whole bunch of shit.
I just wanted to go ahead.

Speaker 1 I was just moving. Yeah, you already know Chef Ku in the house, baby.

Speaker 1 Hooking it up out there in California, man. That is too funny.
That's so funny. You picked up on that.

Speaker 3 No, but he was a pleasure. It is a pleasure to have on set.
And I love that he didn't take himself too seriously.

Speaker 3 I even had our crew give him different things that he could do for uh when you do a field time what is it when you make the point you oh yeah the touchdown oh yeah the touchdown yeah the tick tock

Speaker 1 field time yeah

Speaker 3 i don't know sports that much but I had people give him different ideas for dances he could do.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. I still got to hit a few of those.
I haven't been in the end zone enough this year to hit him, but he got in this week.

Speaker 3 You know, your favorite one was a little kid.

Speaker 1 The little kid. Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 1 You killed that one. I still got to hit it.
You already know it's coming up. Next touchdown I get.

Speaker 1 I'm hitting that one.

Speaker 2 Is there like an etiquette when you're on set with somebody that like actors and actresses know? Did you have to really help him acclimate to like this world? Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 Yes, I do.

Speaker 3 And one thing that I would say is like sometimes when you don't know everybody or you're new to a set, you kind of are unto yourself. He got the, you know, the folk he come with.

Speaker 3 And it's like, no, come over here.

Speaker 1 Talk to, come on, the water's fine.

Speaker 3 We're going to run the words. And, you know, what I wanted to also try to help you do, Trav, was.

Speaker 3 to trust your gift like you're naturally charming you got a little swag about yourself use all of those things things and don't be married to the words. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because we had the luxury of this of kind of moving the words around a little bit. A little bit.
So how they may feel better in your mouth, you can kind of switch them up a little bit.

Speaker 3 And I love that, you know, he just leaned right in. He was like, okay, got it.
Let me try this. Let me try that.
You know, and

Speaker 1 it turned out great. Yeah.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Thank you. And the show really is so much fun.
It really is so cool to like watch be a part of something like that and see it kind of like just the final edits and it finally hit the TV.

Speaker 1 It is so cool to be a part of it. And I can't thank you and obviously Ryan and Courtney B and everybody involved.
That shit was so much fun.

Speaker 3 Do you know when

Speaker 3 we had the premiere?

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 Mama Kelsey came.

Speaker 1 She was cute.

Speaker 3 She was cute as a butt.

Speaker 1 She had a little outfit on.

Speaker 3 I'm like, okay, girl.

Speaker 1 And so

Speaker 3 I was able to talk to her at the after-party.

Speaker 3 And when I tell you, she could not have been prouder of you.

Speaker 3 You know what I mean? And I'm a mom of three. And, you know, sometimes you clap for your kids because you have to.

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, okay, baby.

Speaker 1 Look at her.

Speaker 3 And then sometimes you like, no,

Speaker 3 the whole, it, what I like was watching your mama watch the audience.

Speaker 3 Because when people were going up in the theater, she was looking around like, that's my baby.

Speaker 1 It was nice.

Speaker 1 Making Mama Kelse proud is always one of my favorite things to do. I appreciate you sharing that.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 If some of this was your guys' freedom of expression, was Travis's choice to have the mullet with Ed Lachlan? What was that look about?

Speaker 1 We had to switch it up, man.

Speaker 2 You're Rico Suave one second, and then you look like you crawled out of a swamp.

Speaker 1 And the next second, I was like, I loved it so much.

Speaker 3 Because all of the characters had a duality that we played, because part of it is in Lois's coma state, how she saw people. And then you got the real life

Speaker 3 when she wakes up.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but we still don't even know. There might be another state.
Nacy, I don't know what's happening in this show right now. I am so confused.
I cannot wait for the finale.

Speaker 1 That's so good.

Speaker 3 Let me help you.

Speaker 1 Give you a little bit.

Speaker 2 Can I give you my theory?

Speaker 1 Go. Do it.

Speaker 2 Let's hear this. My theory, and this is what my first thought was, this gives me this.
It feels like we're in like a mental hospital. That was my first thought when I saw the show.

Speaker 2 Then I'm like, okay,

Speaker 2 now Lois is in the coma. Maybe, and then she's, and then that got revealed and that came out.
I didn't know you would be in a coma, too. There was a lot of signs, though.

Speaker 2 Reddit was all over the place saying she's in a coma like this.

Speaker 1 You were just reading comments.

Speaker 1 I did, I did.

Speaker 2 But the first one, though, I was like, this feels like for some reason it felt like it was in a a mental hospital. Now I'm back into that.

Speaker 2 I feel like Lois and some of these characters are in some type of institution. I don't really know what's happening, but that's kind of my theory.

Speaker 1 So it's not fully put together.

Speaker 3 Oh my God, Jason. Can I tell you right now?

Speaker 3 You are so wrong.

Speaker 1 Super.

Speaker 2 Trav has been telling me I'm way off the whole time.

Speaker 1 I've been trying to tell this guy. He hasn't ever fucking clue.

Speaker 1 He's just so stubborn in his ways. He's just like, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 I was like, maybe, maybe, maybe Lois and Merritt are the same person.

Speaker 2 And maybe I'm like, trying, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Oh, you reaching. Oh, you reaching.

Speaker 1 All right. All right.
He's in his own head. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pump the brakes, bro. All right.
I will pump the brakes.

Speaker 2 Okay, you said you could help me. Help me out.
Help me out.

Speaker 3 Okay, so at the beginning of the series, Lois is in a coma.

Speaker 3 By the time, and this is everything that's happening in her mind, by the time you get to episode seven,

Speaker 3 that's the reveal. Right.
She was really in a coma. All of those other episodes, now she's awake.
And this is her waking life.

Speaker 3 The problem in her waking life is that somebody started to recreate the murders that were in her dreams. Right.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 2 you could hear the doctor and you could hear people talking when you were in the coma, and that was impacting.

Speaker 3 who is the person who was really committing these murders based on her dreams i know i don't i know you don't know i just heard your theory

Speaker 1 it's such a it's such a fun story to to to be a part of though i'm assuming ryan came to you with this yeah

Speaker 3 let's just talk about that for a little bit how like you've been in a few other uh ryan murphy uh projects correct yes i did um scream queens i did monster the jeffrey dahmer story yep and one other thing that we did a pilot for that never got picked up and i was in his very first series called popular as a guest star yeah so we've worked together a couple times nice you guys have such a fun relationship how how how has that been like growing uh especially winning all these emmys together and and just taking over the uh the tv world you know it's so important to me for

Speaker 3 people that i care about i consider i have a friendship i love that i do good work for them i never want to phone it in and rest on the relationship i have with somebody to be like oh you know i could just do whatever so it's so important for me to get it right especially for people that i love and then the awards are just the icing on the cake That's awesome.

Speaker 1 Well, it's fun as hell working with Ryan. And it sounds like you got another one.
Mark, are we allowed to say you got another one?

Speaker 1 You can say it because I got another one in the world.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm doing,

Speaker 3 I'm doing Ryan's new series. It's called All's Fair.
It's about a female, an all-female law firm

Speaker 3 led by Kim Kardashian,

Speaker 3 Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Tiana Taylor, and me.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 We're the game. We're talking about a cast.
Wow. That's going to be awesome.

Speaker 2 We talked about a little bit earlier that you watch yourself on film. Do you have a favorite role that, like,

Speaker 2 in your head, that's your favorite role you've ever done?

Speaker 3 That's a great question. See, that's tricky because, because for a long time, because I started in comedy, right?

Speaker 3 I never got the opportunity to play any drama because people thought, oh, we know you, you're the funny girl, you know, and I didn't get a chance.

Speaker 3 So, I have things that I did in my funny life that I love because I was in that world longer than this one.

Speaker 3 But, oh, that's so hard to pick one but I would say I did a series on HBO called getting on I did three seasons of it it was an industry darling but it didn't catch on to the masses but when the industry saw me do that they started to trust me with drama so that was the role that changed my life because it allowed me to show people that I'm not just a one trick pony.

Speaker 3 I got a lot of tricks up in here.

Speaker 1 Hey, multiple tricks.

Speaker 1 It's actually very cool. You were talking about how you started off in comedy.
That really wasn't like the lane that you wanted to choose. We were kind of talking about this on set one day.

Speaker 3 No, I never wanted to be funny. Let me tell you, Jason, I told Trav, I said, I never wanted to be funny because I didn't think it was anything.
All I did, all funny got me was being in trouble.

Speaker 1 I got

Speaker 3 suspended at school, I got pinched at church.

Speaker 1 I got,

Speaker 3 they put talks too much on my report card. So my mama said, well, what was you talking about?

Speaker 1 I was telling Jokes.

Speaker 1 She said, go get the belt. I got a joke.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 3 so I didn't think funny was anything. I didn't, I said, people are going to give me money for acting silly.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And my mother used to tell me that all the time, girl, you so silly. So I didn't think, I just didn't think it was anything.

Speaker 2 It sounds like you were born to be an actress and a comedian.

Speaker 1 That's what it sounds like. I guess so.

Speaker 3 Then I booked Reno 911, and everything changed. I said, Y'all gonna give me money for acting foolish?

Speaker 1 This is crazy town.

Speaker 2 So, is it? Let me ask you this: is comedy easier than drama? What comes more natural, or which one do you have to do more preparation for?

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 3 for me, comedy

Speaker 3 you use the word easier, but I guess if I had to choose, I would say that because I was born funny.

Speaker 2 You're just more naturally funny.

Speaker 3 The other side, I really have to work to make sure the performance is grounded. I get it right.
You know, all of the things.

Speaker 3 And let me tell you, speaking of mamas, my mama was the one that told me, she said, now, you know, when you do your comedies, Now you real funny, but that other stuff, you need to work on that.

Speaker 3 She told me, she said,

Speaker 3 I must tell you, my mother said, you find the best class in town, and I'm going to work overtime to pay for your classes.

Speaker 1 That's a good moment.

Speaker 3 And that's, you know, how we got here because the other, it's probably harder for me.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Do you such a cool story, though?

Speaker 2 That was one of the things that's really unique about this role in particular with Lois is that, like you said, there's multiple states of her mind frame and you're just killing it.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Do you map all that out? Like, okay, now I'm in this mindset as Lois, where this is happening. So I'm going to respond body language and like

Speaker 2 kind of mentality this way towards this actor.

Speaker 3 The thing of it is, Jason, is that for me, the hardest thing about her is where

Speaker 3 is she in the addiction?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 Okay. She suffers from

Speaker 3 alcoholism. So is she hammered? Is she hungover? Is she tipsy? Interesting.
How many drinks in? You know, does she need a drink really bad right now?

Speaker 3 And she's trying to, what am I playing in each moment of her addiction? Because that's the hardest part.

Speaker 3 You know, for me, where is she at this point in this moment to moment in the story with the addiction?

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 2 And you nail it.

Speaker 1 And each one, one, you can tell when you are like,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 2 the scene between you, Trav, and Merritt, where you're confronting each other in the booth. That scene is like,

Speaker 1 I was like, excuse me, what just came?

Speaker 1 That was like,

Speaker 1 you know how we always talk about welcome to your NFL moment? Yeah. That was my welcome to acting moment.

Speaker 1 Seeing NZ absolutely kill it in that scene and being a part of that scene, one of, that was definitely my favorite one to be a part of for sure.

Speaker 1 It was so cool to see her

Speaker 1 smack the glass and walk out of there.

Speaker 3 You know what was funny about that night trap was that I was doing all this. You were like, get up, you're going to rehab.
And I'm like, you don't tell me what the fuck?

Speaker 1 All of that

Speaker 3 intensity. And then they would go cut.
And we would be like, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 In the middle of the day,

Speaker 3 I did that video, I was like, look at these culprits right here. These are the ones

Speaker 3 we're doing all of this fun stuff. And then they'll be like, and we're back in action.
And then I'm like,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 3 so it was, it's, you know, once you find it, but once you find it, I could drop back in it after I've mapped it out and know what I'm doing. And then I could play.
with y'all, you know,

Speaker 3 behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 And mapping out that addiction was the hardest part.

Speaker 1 That's so cool.

Speaker 2 Well, we got the season finale coming up tonight, and this airs. I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 Apparently, my theory is

Speaker 2 way off, so I can't wait to see what actually is the case.

Speaker 1 Oh, you have no idea.

Speaker 2 At first, I thought Travis was the killer. At first, I thought for sure it was you.

Speaker 2 There's the one scene where you're in it, and they don't even date it. You're walking in the background.

Speaker 1 I'm like, what's this dude doing? He's lurking. I know that.

Speaker 2 I know that figure.

Speaker 1 You seen those shadows before, Jason?

Speaker 3 Let me tell you about

Speaker 3 people who text me about Travis. They all started off saying,

Speaker 3 you know, we're watching the thing. Is he the killer?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Just to get you, just to get you on the line texting them. And then they're like, well, what do you know about his relationship? Exactly.

Speaker 1 I'm like, man, get off that man business.

Speaker 1 I'm a vault. I don't say nothing.

Speaker 1 You're ruining out of me.

Speaker 1 Stop me.

Speaker 3 Y'all just being nosy. Don't ask any of that.

Speaker 2 Oh my goodness, that's great.

Speaker 1 I appreciate you always. And every time someone that has a mic in front of you always asks you something like that, thank you for always showing love.
You know it's real.

Speaker 1 And you know that me and Tay are absolutely happy. And I appreciate you always making sure that everybody knows that.
So thank you.

Speaker 3 Honey, I mind my black business.

Speaker 1 You understand me?

Speaker 1 I still can't worry about myself and what I got going. Oh, my goodness.
No, you're the best.

Speaker 2 All right. Well, make sure everyone checks out Grotesquerie on FX tonight, the season finale.

Speaker 2 we're gonna keep moving this on to was it your first chiefs game i've heard like multiple stories now was when you were with mama kelce was that your first chiefs game you've ever been to very first but wait no let me take that line back because i saw y'all play against each other you at the super bowl

Speaker 3 i was at that game

Speaker 3 the super bowl yeah i saw you guys play against each other matter of fact i had to hook up that chip so i walked out on the field

Speaker 3 And my sister told me, She said, I don't care what you do, you put on an all-green outfit and you represent me.

Speaker 2 And so, so you were Eagles,

Speaker 1 I had on my green sweatsuit.

Speaker 1 I was up there doing this.

Speaker 3 Why, Eagles fly, I had my green sweatsuit on. Me, JB, my son, we all showed up.
Yeah, and yeah, so I got to see you both play together in that game. And then we'll talk about the game.

Speaker 3 Baby, I've done some roles and I'm like, God, I wish it would go away.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 then we all came to see Travis.

Speaker 3 And let me tell you something. Travis, so we go to the game, right, out here in LA.
And he was just trying to act like he was so professional as a football player.

Speaker 3 He's like, you know, I don't know if, you know, I'm a, you know, if we're going to take pictures and stuff because I'm so focused.

Speaker 1 I'm like, okay.

Speaker 3 Then he came out there with that stupid mustache trying to act like

Speaker 1 that stupid mustache

Speaker 3 trying to, you know, he was all on the field and all his boys was like, yo, nigga, your girl right there. Nigga, your girl right there.
He gonna look over. He was like,

Speaker 1 I said.

Speaker 3 I respect your process. I'm just giving you a heart.

Speaker 1 Oh, I love it. I love it, too.

Speaker 3 I totally respect your process, you know what I mean. I appreciate it.
You gotta stay in the zone, and you gotta do what the people who paying you want you to do.

Speaker 1 So, I'm not tripping about that. I was more offended at the Mustang.

Speaker 1 It's gone now, it's gone now.

Speaker 3 I see you finally back to looking decent.

Speaker 1 Exactly, exactly. That was uh, I was, you never know.
I might have just been, you know, having that look for another role or something.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay,

Speaker 1 Hollywood over here.

Speaker 2 All right, so when you, uh, when you were at the game with mom, what was it like?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you saw Mama Kelsey at the game, too.

Speaker 2 Do you like watching football games?

Speaker 1 I do.

Speaker 3 Um, it was so much fun. She was lovely.
She had her homegirl with her, and um, we all took pictures together. And then, you know, you run with a great group of guys, you know,

Speaker 1 I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 Um, and they all came and checked on us. You good, you need this, you need that.
Then we went over to your podcast, had a suite.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice, she got our

Speaker 3 podcast swag

Speaker 1 from over there.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, everybody treated us. So, that was that was Mama Kelsey.
She said, We're going over to the come on,

Speaker 1 come on,

Speaker 3 yes, and got us some swag and all the good things. So, everybody really took such good care of us we had great seats thank you

Speaker 1 always you know you know

Speaker 3 it was yeah it was a really good time i mean i would do it again for sure are you a rams fan being from la or a raiders or who's your team i like all the la teams i don't have just one

Speaker 3 chargers rams just likes watching football yeah i don't i don't break them up you know what i mean sure but what i i love the like when you in the game when you're when you actually go to a game better than on TV because everybody is so dressed up in all their regalia and people are cheering and people booing and

Speaker 1 all of the crowd energy.

Speaker 2 The pageantry.

Speaker 3 I like that part.

Speaker 3 You got a game in Vegas coming up.

Speaker 1 We just had it last week. And we ended up beating the Raiders out there in Vegas.
Got some redemption.

Speaker 3 You had that game already.

Speaker 1 I thought it was literally just last week.

Speaker 3 I thought it was around Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 I was going to pull up. I'm trying to, you know what? We might play.
We play the Raiders in KC.

Speaker 2 Yeah, on Friday, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So it's the Friday after Thanksgiving. That one's in Kansas City, though.
You're more than welcome. You can come on us in KC.

Speaker 2 Roll on out.

Speaker 1 You want to hear some electric crowd? Now, Kansas City has it for you.

Speaker 3 I want you to roll the red carpet out.

Speaker 1 Come on, now.

Speaker 1 And there we go. Listen, you already know I'm rolling the red carpet out for you.

Speaker 1 Every time. Every time, everybody you're with, you know,

Speaker 2 is there anything with the game? Do you have any questions about football? Is there any? I know we just had like a touchdown.

Speaker 2 Like, are there any phrases or anything you want to ask us about the sport of football that we can help you with?

Speaker 3 Oh, you know what? I'm glad you asked that because

Speaker 1 I called,

Speaker 3 what did I, the thing I got wrong, I said field time, but what is field time?

Speaker 1 Touchdown. Touchdown.

Speaker 3 Touchdown. Okay, so I don't really understand false start.
Does that mean that they moved before the win? I don't know what that means.

Speaker 1 They go false start. You're right.
So they have to.

Speaker 2 So basically, Nisi, if you become set as an offensive player and you

Speaker 2 think the ball is getting snapped and you move or flinch, that is a false start.

Speaker 3 Oh, you can't even flinch.

Speaker 1 So you're not allowed to move forward before the ball is snapped on offense. And the same thing on defense.
You can't cross that line of scrimmage until the ball is snapped.

Speaker 1 That's called offsides on defense or encroachment

Speaker 1 like a false start is only on the offense and it's when the offense moves forward or like gives like a an action as if the play starting before the ball is snapped and they don't deduct points for that no you just move back five yards oh that's mean there's no there's no yeah

Speaker 3 now why do they say i agree i agree why why do they say they penalize you if you make a touchdown and you celebrate like why do they. I gave you a whole group of dances to do.

Speaker 3 Why won't they let you celebrate if you get a touchdown?

Speaker 2 Lucy, you're speaking on behalf of, I think, every famous

Speaker 1 planet. I think everybody wants to see.
I'm all NFL players, yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think everybody wants to see more dancing. You can dance.

Speaker 1 You just can't twerk.

Speaker 2 They're restrictive in some dances and

Speaker 2 two.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you can't, only two pumps or three pumps? Only two pumps or three pumps.

Speaker 1 No pumps. You can't pump.
No pumps. You can't pump.

Speaker 2 You can't simulate any type of weaponry. So any type of gun or anything will get you

Speaker 2 that will get you a taunting foul.

Speaker 1 Oh, you can't do that. No,

Speaker 3 now if you, but if you do it,

Speaker 3 does that mean that they push your team back again? Or what do they do?

Speaker 2 Yeah, you would get a 15-yard, either unsportsmanlike or taunting penalty.

Speaker 1 And then you get a FedEx.

Speaker 2 And then you would get fined, potentially.

Speaker 1 You get a FedEx delivery at your locker that tells you you just got fined for not representing the NFL in the proper way. Yeah.
Have you ever got a FedEx? You know, are you kidding me? You know it.

Speaker 1 Travis is basically a FedEx.

Speaker 2 He's basically part-time FedEx delivery man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like the play the game.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm going to do it.

Speaker 3 I'm going to do it. And I'm going to pay my fine.

Speaker 1 So every now and then, every now and then,

Speaker 1 I've become more regarded and haven't really done it as much. But my earlier years, I was not afraid to get fined.

Speaker 3 He was a wild boy.

Speaker 1 Oh, my goodness. Oh, yes.
In many ways.

Speaker 1 I've gotten ejected from a game because I did something silly like that, but that's a story for another day.

Speaker 2 Threw a flag at an official.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. That's probably my favorite.
All right.

Speaker 2 We're going to ask you some questions now again, Nisi. In our, this next segment we have, it's called We Gotta Ask, You Don't Have to Answer.

Speaker 1 All right. And it's exactly what it sounds like.
We're just going to ask you some rapid-fire questions, and

Speaker 1 you decide if you want to answer or not. Jason, go ahead and jump it off.

Speaker 2 We mentioned it earlier, but can I just ask about Reno 911?

Speaker 3 That was one of Travis and and i's favorite shows growing up oh yeah oh you were fantastic how fun was it working on that show because it looked like the cast just loved each other and everything that happened in that show it was a lot of fun great fun the worst thing about it and the best thing about it was the booty that i wore in it it was um they took a mold of my real butt magnified it three times and in in the winter when we shot it was great because i was never cold outside i was always

Speaker 3 like I was about to die.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, that's bad. Yeah, you can see how that would not be good.
Yes. Okay, no, what's the next one?

Speaker 2 So you had the BBL in the Reno Notebook.

Speaker 1 I did. Before it was even popular.

Speaker 1 Before it was even popular.

Speaker 1 Right? It's too good.

Speaker 1 Best and worst audition.

Speaker 3 My best and my worst are the same audition.

Speaker 1 Really? Tama, how's that possible?

Speaker 3 It was my very first audition. And I walked in, and I didn't know that you read

Speaker 3 and they'll tell you later. So I said, I've read the material.
And the guy said, thank you. I said, you're welcome.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 3 And I said, don't mention it.

Speaker 1 And he was like,

Speaker 1 he was like, thank you.

Speaker 3 You may go. I said, oh, y'all are telling me to leave.
Well, did y'all pick me?

Speaker 3 He was like, someone will let you know, dear. And I said, Let me know when I'm broke.
I got a baby.

Speaker 1 Just keep me on ice like this.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so I cut up, I pointed my finger in their face and told them how mad I was. And then they still ended up calling me and giving me the job.

Speaker 3 It was my very first movie, and I was in it with Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore.

Speaker 3 It was called Boys on the Side. And I played Woman in the Diner.

Speaker 1 There we go. Woman in the Diner.
Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Doesn't love a good diner.

Speaker 2 Who's the better game show host? You or Travis?

Speaker 3 Me.

Speaker 1 There we go. That was easy.
Next question. I could have told you that one.

Speaker 1 You've done everything for movies, TV, game show reality, voiceover work. If you could only do one for the rest of your career, what would it be?

Speaker 3 Jesus.

Speaker 3 TV.

Speaker 1 What's the biggest difference from TVs and movies from your perspective?

Speaker 3 TV, you build a family. Like if you, because it goes on for years.
You love these people. You go to their weddings.
You, you see their kids graduate. You have more of a family.

Speaker 3 A movie, you in it for a couple of weeks, and then you like deuces on to the next. So I do like, you know,

Speaker 3 having a team. Yeah,

Speaker 3 I like that part about doing television.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. That's awesome.

Speaker 2 Do you have a favorite co-star? Speaking of family, do you have a favorite co-star? Obviously, you can't say Travis. Travis is excluded.

Speaker 2 Not that he was going to be the answer.

Speaker 3 My favorite person that I ever worked with on camera is the one i lay next to every night okay my spouse when we uh can share our art together it's when i'm the happiest oh that's so cool love that love that true story awesome i love that you know i'm a lover travis

Speaker 1 very much so because you you like the team you like to feel a part of it all come on do you have a welcome to hollywood moment my welcome to hollywood

Speaker 1 kind of how i was was describing, like, welcome to the NFL moment. You know what? Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3 Yep, I do. I went to audition for something, and I had all of this stuff on the back of my resume.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 I didn't know everything I had on the back of it was trash.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 And the guy, he was an assistant at the time, said, girlfriend, come here.

Speaker 3 He said, I'm going to help you with this.

Speaker 3 And he crossed all the, he said, nobody cares that you were the second winner up in a beauty pageant let me cross that out nobody cares that you he just all the little things that I and they were little things but I was trying to make my resume look like something he crossed everything out and I said but I'm about to go in there with my picture and I only have one thing on it and he said but it's the right thing

Speaker 3 and we became dear friends he became a big deal casting director and now he's the head muckety muck of the network and it was the moment where somebody reached across the line and was like, come here, baby, because you don't know no better.

Speaker 1 Let me know.

Speaker 1 And I was like, okay.

Speaker 3 You know, it was the first time that I felt like I had somebody to just look out for me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I believed in you for whatever reason.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 But, oh, wait, here's the other one. And I'm going to squeeze this in.

Speaker 1 Yeah, please.

Speaker 3 A little girl, I'm eight years old. I see this actor on Hollywood Boulevard where all the stars were.
And I said, Daddy, that man is an actor. He said, baby, that's Ed Asner.

Speaker 3 He he used to be on the mary charlie more show i said i walked over to him i said sir i know you're an actor and you don't know me but my name is gonna be right here on this ground he was like yeah kids graham

Speaker 1 right yeah he walked away and i said remember my name

Speaker 3 i ended up getting a star on the hollywood author thing

Speaker 3 i sent him a letter we told you motherfuckers

Speaker 1 i don't know if you remember me You know, this happened between us.

Speaker 3 And he said, of course, I know your name. Thank you.
I'm glad you didn't let me discourage you, but I'm not able to come to your ceremony. I said, okay, well, thank you.

Speaker 3 And the day before, his assistant called my team and said he'll be there.

Speaker 1 I could not even look at him.

Speaker 3 I had to just look this way because my fake eyelashes was about to fall off from crying.

Speaker 3 And so Ed Asner, you know, 40 years later, showed up at my star ceremony.

Speaker 1 That's

Speaker 1 unbelievable.

Speaker 3 And it said to me the power of the spoken word. I spoke that thing.

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, it took a long time to manifest, but it still manifested.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Yes, it did.
Damn, sure. It manifested beautifully.

Speaker 2 All right. It's Halloween Eve.

Speaker 1 Yes. Wednesday will be Halloween.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Do you have a go-to Halloween movie?

Speaker 3 No, but I go hard with a costume.

Speaker 1 Okay. Ooh, nice.
So

Speaker 1 have you already worn your Halloween costume this year?

Speaker 3 I'm getting ready to take photos for it when I stop talking to you.

Speaker 1 Nice. What are we going to do? Are you allowed to reveal it? Since it's going to be tomorrow.
Is it a surprise? Or is it a surprise? You want to keep it a surprise? It's cool.

Speaker 1 You can keep it a surprise. It's a surprise.
I'm going to let it be a surprise.

Speaker 1 Well, we'll be tuned in. We'll be tuned in.

Speaker 1 We do couples costumes.

Speaker 3 So we always try to figure out some sort of iconic couple.

Speaker 1 What were you guys last year?

Speaker 3 Last year, I was Jessica Rabbit. My better half was was the detective.

Speaker 3 The year before that, we were

Speaker 3 ASAP, Rocky, and Rihanna at the Met.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 3 The year before that, we were Kelly and Nellie from the Dilemma video.

Speaker 1 Ooh, okay.

Speaker 3 We figured out some. Yeah, classic.

Speaker 1 You already know. Yeah.
We had some teammates, Chris Jones, on the show earlier. I'm 95 for the defense on the Chiefs, if you're not familiar.

Speaker 1 He described his first impression of me as Malibu's most wanted.

Speaker 1 You are actually

Speaker 1 do you agree or disagree?

Speaker 1 I absolutely disagree. You don't be trying to see B-Red?

Speaker 2 He's not B-Red?

Speaker 1 Tell him to eat. You don't know what he is talking about.

Speaker 1 I enjoy a good, a good getting toasted, though. That's the best.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Last question. Do you have any advice for other athletes trying to break into acting?

Speaker 3 You know, I would say if you're serious about it, take class because you want to be prepared. You want to know the lingo.
You know, if they tell you camera left, what does that mean to you?

Speaker 3 You want, if they say hit your mark, if they say any of the language of a set, you just want to be familiar because you don't, you know, you're not going to be as comfortable if you feel like a fish out of water.

Speaker 3 So I would say prepare

Speaker 3 and get you a Nisi.

Speaker 1 I was about to say, I was literally just about to say that. I was like, yeah, make sure you work with somebody as good as Nisi because it makes it a whole lot easier on you.

Speaker 1 Nisi Nash Bets, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 Man,

Speaker 2 I mean, dude, it's almost,

Speaker 1 every single week, I just think

Speaker 2 they're going to figure it out.

Speaker 1 They're going to give this finger leave. It's going to happen.

Speaker 2 They got a good opportunity. They're playing the Patriots.
Their coach just called them the softest team.

Speaker 2 He just called them soft the week before. They go out.
They've traded for Adams. They've made all these picks.
All this stuff has happened.

Speaker 2 And then it turns out the Patriots got hard somehow and found a way to beat the Jets.

Speaker 2 What do you got to say, Jen? God.

Speaker 1 Chill out.

Speaker 1 He found some Viagra sitting around and they

Speaker 1 swallowed

Speaker 1 up on him. They fucking.

Speaker 1 Jesus. Come on.
