Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, Boar's Head. Ooh, a little meat.

Speaker 1 The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means. Time to eat meat.

Speaker 1 Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend. Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.

Speaker 1 You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch.
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? I mean, any of them.

Speaker 1 Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got Pepper Jack, you got Provolone.

Speaker 1 You got cheddar. You got beer cheese.
You got salami. You got kilbasa.
There you go. Don't be all archy with me.
Ritz crackers.

Speaker 1 Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are around. Those are kind of nice too.
If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin.

Speaker 1 If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home.

Speaker 1 Visit your local Boarshead Deli. They'll hook you up with a ready-made platter.
Ooh. Or you can build on your own.
There you go. Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor.

Speaker 1 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905. How about it? It's just a great name, too.
Over 100. Yeah, you know what you're getting.
Boar's head.

Speaker 2 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. 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 2 That's Andrew, a real United pilot.

Speaker 1 These small interactions can shape a kid's future it felt like i was the captain allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever that's how good leads the way

Speaker 1 and as we all know travis came up big because he had someone special in the stadium someone that means a lot to him and he really tries to always perform well when they're there and that is me

Sure, yeah. Travis got a major compliment from the Fonds, a.k.a.
Coach Klein from the Waterboy. I met the coach for him.

Speaker 1 Torres, you might know him, the legendary actor Henry Winkler on X, Twitter, whatever you prefer to call it these days. He quote tweeted a tweet from Kansas City,

Speaker 1 Kansas City,

Speaker 1 Chiefs.

Speaker 1 No better day to pull out some of Travis Kelsey's greatest hits. And Mr.
Winkler said, and Mr. K is doing an amazing job as an actor on Grotesquerie on Fox.

Speaker 1 Did Fox pay him for this? Yeah, no. Henry's son, Max.
Max Winkler is actually a director on the show. Oh, yeah.
So he's a big fan of the show.

Speaker 1 Big fan of the Chiefs as well. Shout out to the Fons.

Speaker 1 You know, we love you over there in Chiefs' Kingdom. And it was pretty cool, man.
I remember watching Happy Days Growing Up. And it's just, you know, one of those life comes full circle moments.

Speaker 1 Can you give us any? So we're four episodes in. Yes.
How many episodes is? And you watched all four. I've watched all four.
I can't believe you're actually. So you like horror and like

Speaker 1 thrillers. If you put Grotesquerie or Sister of the Traveling Pants up, I'm watching Vinyl Grotesque.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 What there's four episodes. How many episodes is there?

Speaker 1 It's a great question.

Speaker 1 Cool.

Speaker 1 Brandon,

Speaker 1 figure that out. What kind of turns are we in store for?

Speaker 1 How many shoes are going to drop? I'm not going to give away anything. We'll just say how many shoes are going to drop.
There's definitely about to be happening.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's about to be even more happening. There is so much.
Just when you think, like, all right, everything's going to start to unfold.

Speaker 1 You're in just buckle up. Yeah.
Buckle up. Yeah.
Yeah. I feel like I already got it figured out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I i know you do yeah we talked about this earlier you don't have a thing i can't i can't tell if you are just a complete made-up figment of nisi's uh or lois's imagination okay

Speaker 1 if you're a demon or an angel i'll accept both of those because they're dichotomies

Speaker 1 or

Speaker 1 if you're the killer i'm pretty sure you're not the killer unless you're possessing people

Speaker 1 i saw you on the second you said you didn't premiere to the third episode i saw you in the second episode. What? Oh, you know.

Speaker 1 Somebody did a great job of grabbing the screenshot. And I know that fucking tall, shadowy figure like the back of my head.
No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you know that one. I don't know.

Speaker 1 You turned the turntable off. I've seen it.

Speaker 1 Creeping around in the back. Yeah.
Yeah. Lurching.

Speaker 1 I wish I was that sneaky.

Speaker 1 Well, I can tell you one person you're not a a better actor than, and that is Nisi Nash. She is killing it.
Absolutely. It is awesome to watch, and I can't wait to see the new episodes.

Speaker 1 Is it two every week?

Speaker 1 It was two the first two weeks. You got to stop asking me.
All right, cool. Max,

Speaker 1 Max Winkler, please respond to this. You got to stop asking me this stuff.

Speaker 1 I'm honestly, though, I'm along the ride with everyone else.

Speaker 1 I'm enjoying watching everything unfold because

Speaker 1 I was so in and out of

Speaker 1 LA at the like over the offseason filming this, that I didn't see any other scenes or anything like that.

Speaker 1 So it's fun to, I don't know, kind of get caught up on a lot of the storyline or just not necessarily storyline, but just everybody's performance, how they're like, how they're portraying people.

Speaker 1 And I think it's just cool. It's cool to be a part of it and still see like.
It's interesting to see the finished product. Yes.

Speaker 1 Because you see all the takes when you're doing it and like all this stuff. And then all of a sudden it's like, oh, that's what they were going for.
Yes. They cut out all the other stuff.

Speaker 1 Nice. Less than me.
Got it.

Speaker 1 Perfect.

Speaker 1 Oh, they didn't like that. Yeah, yeah.
I didn't like that.

Speaker 1 I knew. I knew when I got, there were like a few takes where I was like, yeah, they didn't like that.
And those takes definitely didn't make it.

Speaker 1 So, but at least I felt it and I knew not to do it again. Yeah.
Learning from it. Coaching.
I am coachable. I'll tell you that.

Speaker 1 Do we think Fon saw the scene of you talking about Big Peter and his banana hammock? Banana splitter? Banana splitter.

Speaker 1 Listen, man. Everybody's got a pass, Jason.
Hey.

Speaker 1 They do. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It sounds like it made me better. You know what it sounds like? What? It sounds like

Speaker 1 Lois wants to remember Big Peter.

Speaker 1 Big Peter to remember. That's right.

Speaker 1 Yeah. When I was reading that on the script, I was just like...

Speaker 1 This is going to somehow make it. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
Yeah, I'll make this sound great.

Speaker 1 Big Peter and his banana splitter. If I was a stripper, how would I make this sound? Yeah.
All right, all right. Let's get to some Out of the House.
That's right.

Speaker 1 But before we get into Travis's game, we're going to talk about Out of the House in Kansas City.

Speaker 1 Out of the House is brought to you by Coke Zero Sugar, Tackle Game Day with irresistible taste of Coke Zero Sugar. It's the best Coke ever.
Try and decide. Jason, how was your first Kelsey car jam?

Speaker 1 It was great. I saw a bunch of really cool cars.
Nice. I'm not, I'm, you know me.
I'm terrible with like makes and models of cars. Yeah.
But I know when I see a car, if I like it. Fuck yeah.

Speaker 1 And there is a lot of cool cars there. Yeah.
Yeah. And I like old cars.
There was, um, there were, there were like two that stood out to me. There was a, there was a really old like restaurant Bronco.

Speaker 1 Nice. That looked like something go wrong with the Bronco.
And it was like, would you say what kind of Bronco? Resto mode.

Speaker 1 So it was like, I think that's what it's called, Resto Mod, Resto Mode, something like that. I don't know the pronunciation.
Is that just like a fancy word for restoration? Yeah, I think.

Speaker 1 What's a so resto restoration? It's basically a old,

Speaker 1 it's like the, it's like the original look of the Bronco with all the exterior is the original. It's just like the frame and everything's brand new on it.
Okay, I got it. It's custom.

Speaker 1 So they've restored it, but it's all original look and feel and everything. Got it.
Okay. That's cool.
Yeah. That thing was awesome.
And then the monster truck, dude.

Speaker 1 I fucking love monster trucks, man. Yeah.
I want to get in one so bad. You want to acefin turret? I just want to.

Speaker 1 Chitty chitty bang, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah. My favorite was the International Harvester pickup truck that was out there.

Speaker 1 It's like a metallic grayish blue. I got in it.
There's a picture of me out there sitting in it. Nice.
It was awesome. Excited for the Ignition Lab to get their Bronco up and running.

Speaker 1 It looks absolutely awesome. Are they working on that? It has like the matte silver look right now.
Yeah, it was sweet. They showed like how far along they were with it.

Speaker 1 And then on top of that, they're auctioning off the 1969 Chevelle that they turned into an electric car to put a Tesla engine under it. And when I say they, these high school kids at the Ignition Lab.

Speaker 1 Yeah, why don't you explain what the Ignition Lab is for people that don't? So the Ignition Lab is

Speaker 1 an extension of what Operation Breakthrough has been doing with their STEM labs in the building. And STEM is science, technology, engineering, math.

Speaker 1 And they have just a bunch of like, I don't know,

Speaker 1 rooms of like... the mechanics,

Speaker 1 it has a

Speaker 1 entertainment studio.

Speaker 1 It has a whole bunch of stuff that these kids can get their hands on and get into. And it's just

Speaker 1 a

Speaker 1 just everything. And

Speaker 1 it's giving these kids something that they wouldn't have otherwise and giving kids something to do outside of school and after school and something they can gravitate towards and see if they enjoy.

Speaker 1 One of them is the

Speaker 1 mechanic shop, like I just mentioned.

Speaker 1 And they actually turned a 69 Chevelle into an electric car by doing the welding and all the, I don't know, the battery, the Tesla battery pack that's on the bottom of it or in the front and the back trunk.

Speaker 1 It's pretty cool. Yep.
They got my Chevy Silver outer. They're converting to electric right now.
Nice, dude. And it's a 1986 square body Chevy.

Speaker 1 And I still haven't been, I need to make it to Operation Breakthrough in the ignition lab and all that, but I'm fired up to see what it's like. And they said they're going to try and teach me to weld.

Speaker 1 Which I think is also sounds pretty good. It's pretty sweet, yeah.
If it's anything like soldering, I'm going to be fucking terrible at it. Yeah, I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's definitely not like soldering, but it's kind of like soldering. I don't know.
We don't know what the fuck we're talking about. No.
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 Well, that's why you go to places that do and you get to learn. Yeah.
Shout out to Operation Breakthrough. Shout out to Kelsey Car Jam.
It was an awesome event. Shout out to everyone that showed up.

Speaker 1 It was really awesome to see the community support. Everybody there.
Obviously, it goes towards a good cause.

Speaker 1 Kansas City always shows up, baby. That's why I love it here, man.

Speaker 1 Whether it's foundation events, whether it's you know celebrating somebody or just you know good old chiefs game baby they're uh they're showing up no matter what man that's why we love them tailgate with chiefs kingdom yeah moving on to game day uh espn sent you sending you out into the kingdom yeah that's right you were uh you were tailgated a little bit out there in the parking lot i was yeah um what was it like what was it like tailgating at arrowhead i've only tailgated at uh at eagles games yeah and i've only been to one tailgate i have been to a tailgate before at chiefs kingdom uh for a playoff game years ago but i didn't really venture around i was kind of just in one spot and it was like a i think it was like a budweiser tent that was there or whatever and i just stayed there um

Speaker 1 and then every other time i go to your games you have the the bus that takes everybody there so i just go with that so i really haven't tailgated a lot yeah so i thought it'd be cool to go experience it

Speaker 1 and i was only able to be out there for like 40 minutes maybe like it was quick yeah but they were running me around the golf cart i was meeting all sorts of people it was awesome it was great.

Speaker 1 Good food, good people. I love it.
Everybody just looking to have a good time, getting fired up for the game.

Speaker 1 I asked everybody why they do it. And they're like, hey,

Speaker 1 everybody around here is like family now.

Speaker 1 They've been going to it for years. Season ticket holders.

Speaker 1 There was more New Orleans food than there was Kansas City food.

Speaker 1 I had so much...

Speaker 1 gumbo and jambalaya. I didn't see any like barbecue or anything.

Speaker 1 I mean, there was, it was around, but most of the stuff that everybody was eating where I was at, I think that it's common for, I guess, the teams to make like the food that they're playing.

Speaker 1 Kind of like a fun

Speaker 1 luck deal that they got going, I guess. There's also a decent amount of New Orleans fans in the tailgate.
They showed up. Oh, all right.
So it's fun. I always like it.

Speaker 1 That's the beautiful thing about sports. It's a unifying thing.
Everybody comes together and you try and kill each other, but then you're friends afterwards. Yeah.
It's the best.

Speaker 1 It doesn't always work out like that, but yeah. Learned how to suction cup a beer can to my palm.
I'm sorry, what? Yeah. The tailgate was incredible.
Had an Abner Haynes jersey on.

Speaker 1 Nobody asked me a single thing about Abner Haynes. Tell everybody about the Abner Haynes because I was.
So

Speaker 1 you asked me to try and help you out with this, and I was like, yeah, perfect. No problem, no problem.
And the CCC Pro Shop hooked it up for sure. So this offseason.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the Casey Pro Shop for sure. Get the turnaround for us.
This offseason, Abner Hayes died. Oh, all right.
Abner Haynes died. Yes, R.I.P.
He is in the Chiefs Ring of Honor or Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And I saw, I didn't know really who Abner Haynes was.
And then obviously you see that he passes away. So you start clicking articles and dude was just awesome.

Speaker 1 He's a great running back, played for the Dallas Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 1 But more important than that, it felt like he was like really a member of the community. I went to North Texas State, I believe.
North Texas State.

Speaker 1 Which, you know, you're good if you're going to North Texas State and then go into the

Speaker 1 AFL. Yeah.
AFL, nice. Yeah.
Lived a good life of being a great football player and a promising,

Speaker 1 like just an awesome member of the community. So I thought it'd be cool to pay honor to the great Abner Haynes.
I love it, man. Yeah.
Kansas City's got a bunch of them. They do.
They do.

Speaker 1 It's a storied, it's a storied franchise. Willie Lanier.
Bobby Bell. Who's Bobby Bell? That's a great name.
Bobby Bell, defensive end, I believe, linebacker, maybe.

Speaker 1 No, Willie Lanier was definitely the linebacker. Willie Lanier.
Yep.

Speaker 1 He was a big time, he was always,

Speaker 1 what is it, Walter Payton Man of the Year.

Speaker 1 He got a lot of honors for being like awesome in the community, which it wasn't Walter Payton Man of the Year back then. Yeah, but it's the equivalent now.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's

Speaker 1 they really don't have an equivalent now, but yeah,

Speaker 1 Met Willie, know Bobby, everybody.

Speaker 1 Like the Chiefs ambassadors are the best. Even when Len was alive, R.I.P., Len Dawson, when he was, when he was in the building, he was actually one of the first guys I met.

Speaker 1 And there's just, there's, I mean, the list goes on of ambassadors in Chiefs' Kingdom that kind of stick around and, and, you know, pass that legacy, man.

Speaker 1 The best thing I ate at the tailgate probably was the cheddar brat because I wasn't ready for the cheddar. And the moment I bit into it, there was cheddar in it, and it was just a magical moment.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm out on this shit. Cheddar, you're out on a cheddar brat? Yeah.
What on earth are you out on a cheddar brat for?

Speaker 1 I just, anything in like a casing like that, I'm out. I just don't.
That's right. You don't like cylindrical meats.
We've been over this. They make sausage without like the casing around it.

Speaker 1 or eat on the table. But at the same time, it's like, I'm.
So are you in or out on curry? Dance. I'll dance.
Are you in or out on curry? I'm in on like a light curry.

Speaker 1 The more it's yeah, the more it's like it gets thicker and it looks like

Speaker 1 a baby food or like baby shit, then I'm out. So you just have a metal block with foods that look like poop.
Food that looks like it just came out of a butthole. Yes.
I do.

Speaker 1 I have a metal block for that. Yeah.
Big Skyline Chili fan. Yo, you know, I'm so in.
Just throw cheese on it. I'll be all right.
Just won't even notice. Won't even know.

Speaker 1 Come out the same way you went in.

Speaker 1 Sorry, guys.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 I don't know what else to add there. What's better, tailgating at the link or tailgating at Arrowhead? Don't be biased.

Speaker 1 I haven't really, I mean,

Speaker 1 I did do a little bit of tailgating at the link, but it wasn't.

Speaker 1 The tailgate I went to at the link had an alligator, which I don't think is regional to the Philadelphia area, so I'm not sure why there was an alligator.

Speaker 1 I mean, they were both great. I think,

Speaker 1 honestly, I don't think I got a, because of this short time period and we were moving because I had to get on Monday Night Countdown, I think I'd probably want to get back to Kansas City to do like a fuller tailgate.

Speaker 1 And the only one I've been to with the Eagles that tailgated was when I was doing Monday Night Countdown as well. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So like I've just been, because I have to work later, I haven't been able to drink and fully experience the tailgates

Speaker 1 the way I probably normally would. They've been great.
And the people there are. top notch at both establishments.
I almost blew out my man Dumfy's ACL. Shout out to Dumfy.
He's all right.

Speaker 1 That's a big dude. Three-point stance, chest bump.
You forced him into doing that too. He didn't want to do that.
He asked me before we went up there to do it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Then he was like, nah, man, this isn't a good idea. Like, we're doing it.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 once you get on the ride, you can't get off.

Speaker 1 That was a banger. All right.

Speaker 1 A little Monday night countdown. Hey.
Well, you didn't sign any babies, but you did sign a leg during a commercial break. I did.

Speaker 1 Prosthetic. Prosthetic leg.
That's pretty cool. Did you, was that the guy wearing the 62 jersey? No,

Speaker 1 there wasn't. It was a woman.
Oh, okay. Nice.

Speaker 1 A fan in the crowd sent their prosthetic leg down to have you guys. I know it was a woman because as I was signing, I looked up and she had her leg up in the air.

Speaker 1 I mean, there was nothing

Speaker 1 it down. Excuse me, you could tell that that.
And I was like, oh, that's her leg. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a dead giveaway. Not my first leg I've signed.
Ooh, who's?

Speaker 1 I think I signed a vet's leg that was an Eagles fan at some event that I've been to. But this is the first Monday Night Football Countdown leg that has been signed.
Very cool.

Speaker 1 Me, Ryan, Swagu, and Scott Vim Pelt all signed it. So I hope you're happy with those signatures.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, she threw her leg up, so it's get what you get at that point.

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 1 I guess what's nice about the prosthetic, I suppose, like some people get tattoos now. You can just...
Hey, you just get another prosthetic. I don't think it's just.
They're probably pretty expensive.

Speaker 1 And that does it.

Speaker 1 We're out of the house. Brought to you by Coke Zero Sugar.
Hey. All right.
Want to do the donut bit? Cool. So before we get the football, we're going to review some donuts.

Speaker 1 Lamar's donuts. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 This is specific to Kansas City? Oh, yeah, since 1933. Oh, yeah, right on the box.
Yeah, it does, right there.

Speaker 1 Celebrating 90 years. How about that? Donuts have been around for 90 years.
Well, these donuts have probably been around longer than 90 years. That's a good point.

Speaker 1 Lamar back then, back in 1933, figured it out. Yellow box, man, I see these things as like fucking, this is like seeing gold.

Speaker 1 It's like finding Pokemon when you see a fucking yellow box just on like a random desk in a football facility. It's like, oh, shit.
I wonder if they got the blueberry glaze in there.

Speaker 1 Well, you know that I'm very

Speaker 1 critical of doughnuts. I don't like cake donuts.
It's a waste of time. Don't know why anybody likes them.

Speaker 1 It's not a donut. it's a cake, it's a circular cake.
A donut needs to be fluffy and airy. And you always start with glaze, go with the simplest thing.

Speaker 1 Don't get all these concoctions where they try and sell you on these gimmicky donuts. Did you have a gimmicky donut named after you? I did, and we raised some money, so it was for a good cause.

Speaker 1 Some people like them. Listen, if that's what you like, that's what you like.
But you always start with the simple donut. Yeah, give it a little pull test.

Speaker 1 It's a good pull. It's a good pull part.
Yeah, it is. It's got good gluten structure.
Yeah, and it's also,

Speaker 1 this is in the afternoon, and these were made in the morning.

Speaker 1 It's a good observation.

Speaker 1 It's a good donut. Yeah, it is.
Really good donut. It's a fantastic donut.
You can see how Jason's fingerprints are, like,

Speaker 1 they're in it.

Speaker 1 It's got good squish and rebound, though. Yeah.
It's got good squish and rebound.

Speaker 1 The glaze is a little

Speaker 1 like crystally, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1 I like a nice little like. I mean, it's not bad.
I like a nice little sugary chunk here and there.

Speaker 1 It's not bad. Very good.
Yep.

Speaker 1 It almost tastes like it's like almost a little bit underbaked. Dude, I'm telling you.
And I think that that's good, though. Like, it's, I like it.

Speaker 1 But it could have.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I could have maybe spent like a second more in the fryer.

Speaker 1 Ooh, I'll grab the best one in the box. How's important do I do this? Would you give it like something out of 10 or something like that? I mean, it is 10 out of 10 right here.
You can't give it a 10.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I can. What do you do with the rest of the donuts? What if we get a donut that's better than that one then?

Speaker 1 What? What if you get a donut better than this and you've already rated this a 10? What do you rate that one? That's a good point. That's why you don't ever go straight to the bottom.

Speaker 1 You got to re-rate this one then. You can't re-rate.
Yes, you can't.

Speaker 1 You can't re-rate. Yeah, this is the one.
That's why you don't go 10. You got to go below a 10.
You always got to give options to go higher. No.

Speaker 1 It's a good donut. It's a fucking 10 out of 10.
It's not a 10.

Speaker 1 It's slightly underbaked. It's got great structure.
Sugary glaze. Could be a little bit more smooth.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go 7-8.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 I'll go 8-2.

Speaker 1 Good donut. Good donut.
Nice. Really good donut.

Speaker 1 Very happy with this donut. Yeah, you're serious about your reviews i think this is a phenomenal donut i'm enjoying the hell out of it and when i feel this i give it a 10.

Speaker 1 so you're gonna eat a lot of 10 donuts dude what's up with but they also they also have cake 10 donuts

Speaker 1 so they also have every friday before breakfast you eat 10

Speaker 1 well rated 10 i really i only eat like four

Speaker 1 But that's just a carb up right here. Here's a little Friday.

Speaker 1 They also have cake.

Speaker 1 I just don't know how anybody could prefer this to this.

Speaker 1 They need the.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I hear you. They need the blueberry glaze.

Speaker 1 This is a lazy man's zone up.

Speaker 1 There's nothing to coffee. It goes good with coffee.
Listen, I'm not saying it's bad. Like, it's sugar and dough.
It's going to be good.

Speaker 1 I fucking love these things. I'm just wearing all this sugar, too, and I'm just going to, piece by piece, just eat it.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 There you have it. 8.2, 10.

Speaker 1 Meaningless.

Speaker 1 If you're in Kansas City, make sure you check out Lamar's. You've got a bunch of locations all over the place.
Bold topics to wrap up week five in the NFL. Yep, baby.
Starting with my game.

Speaker 1 That's right. How about that? Chiefs, 26.
Saints, 13.

Speaker 1 I don't even know if that score adequately reflects how much you guys pretty much dominated the whole game. If you guys could get in the end zone fucking more, it would be even higher.

Speaker 1 Tell me about it. Let's start with the offense.

Speaker 1 You guys dominated the the time of possession the entire first half.

Speaker 1 Really got it going. Kareem Hunt, again, another solid outing.
I mean,

Speaker 1 coming out of nowhere. Wasn't on anybody's team.

Speaker 1 And sure enough, him and Juju Smith-Suster, you think that they're kind of done in the NFL. They come to the Chiefs and look like two of the best players in the NFL.

Speaker 1 I don't get how these guys were just.

Speaker 1 Well, Juju Smith-Suster was in New England. He didn't have any quarterbacks throwing him the ball.
That's a good point. Yeah.
Kareem Hayes. Shout out to Jacob Schuster over there in Cleveland.

Speaker 1 One of my favorite quarterback sneakers.

Speaker 1 I mean, Nick Chubb, you want to give that guy the ball. You do.
And

Speaker 1 we want to give Kareem the ball, and he's absolutely killing it right now. He's doing great.
You guys have needed it in Pop's absence. Him and

Speaker 1 Carson Steele have stepped up. Done day.
Kareem Hunt ended with 102 yards, a touchdown

Speaker 1 for some stat nerds out there, which I know everybody loves that now.

Speaker 1 Just a Northeast Ohio ball player, baby. I mean, the guy.
This is his first touchdown as a chief in 2,149 days. It was a Kareem Hunt-style touchdown.
Just break a few tackles,

Speaker 1 run through a few arm tackles.

Speaker 1 Did he break some tackles?

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure Kareem breaks at least one tackle every time he touches it. Every time? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a good running back attribute.

Speaker 1 He's also the first Chief to carry the ball 27 times since. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Kareem Hunt also did that on December 24th, 2017. It was a good idea back in 2017.

Speaker 1 Now it's still a good idea to hand him this one. Well, especially if it's working.
Hell yeah. Juju Smith-Schuster also had some stats out there.

Speaker 1 Led all receivers for the Kansas City Chiefs to seven receptions for 130 yards.

Speaker 1 Everybody was wondering what that Kansas City offense was going to look like without Rashi Rice, how they were going to place him. And Juju goes out there with a big game for 130.

Speaker 1 Almost had a touchdown, but we'll talk about that in a second.

Speaker 1 Some stats for those nerds. Juju's 130 receiving yards are his most in the game since the 2020-2021 season wild card round with the Steelers.

Speaker 1 Juju is also the first Chiefs wide receiver not named Rashi Rice with 100 plus yards receiving in a single regular season game since. That's right.

Speaker 1 Juju again had 124 yards against the 49ers on October 23rd, 2022. Yeah.
Yeah. Why was it so easy to simply just put Juju in the game and then all of a sudden him the ball out?

Speaker 1 Well, one, both these guys are familiar with the offense. They're familiar with the scheme.

Speaker 1 I think they're familiar with the nucleus of the coaching staff and the players that we got here.

Speaker 1 So they just, honestly, it just felt like we got our guys back in the building. It wasn't, there was no like, all right, let's ease them into it.
It was like, no, they're.

Speaker 1 They're ready to rock and roll right now. Know all the terminology and all the plays.

Speaker 1 And I mean, Juju's won a Super Bowl with us. Korean's had unbelievable success in this offense before.
So I think when it comes down to what Coach Reed is going to call,

Speaker 1 everybody's very familiar on how to have success with it.

Speaker 1 And Andy knows how to utilize those guys to their short 100%. And Pat knows how to get these guys the ball.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 he's trusting it, which is awesome to see. Well, the other person he's trusting is primetime Big Yeti.
That's right. As we all know, Travis came up big.

Speaker 1 Because he had someone special in the stadium, someone that means a lot to them,

Speaker 1 and he really tries to always perform well when they're there, and that is me.

Speaker 1 Have I ever had a

Speaker 1 game? Not in Kansas City. I didn't have a great game when I was a kid.
You've always had good games when I show up. Well, I guess last year I didn't.
Which one? Great game. Which game?

Speaker 1 The playoff games? You dominated in the playoffs. Those were the only games I went to last year.
Oh, I thought I was talking to the games that I played against you guys.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's true. The game that we played last year wasn't like outstanding.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The Super Bowl game, you had a couple of big catches. Yeah.
You didn't go for 100, but you still went. It was a good day.
Like 90 or something. 89 or something.
Yeah, you still had a good day.

Speaker 1 I do love a good Monday night showdown. Come on now.
God damn. Come on now.

Speaker 1 I mean, I was fired up for that. It's also the knees feel a little bit better.
You got a little bit of extended rest, too.

Speaker 1 It's crazy what that extra day does.

Speaker 1 It's, yeah. One, just 24 hours later.
It's crazy. How big of a difference it makes for the body is remarkable, which he will pay the price this week.
Oh, you know, bye week. I forgot.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's nice. Yeah.
So you're not on a short week. I mean, I'd rather have a shorter week and have my buy later in the season.
It's fair. Yeah.
It's early, early buy sucks. Yeah.
Dude, the Chiefs

Speaker 1 have the ability to turn the lights off and on now in the stadium.

Speaker 1 Talking about they didn't have an off switch for their lights? No, I don't think so. I think they were always on.
There's no way that's possible. Either that or like, you know, remember like in

Speaker 1 like the

Speaker 1 high school or like older lights, when you turn them off, it would take them a while to go off. You turn them on, you'd have to wait for it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're not photos. What is it? Yeah.
I don't know the name of them. But yeah, now we have the ability because they replace the light.
When we came out of the tunnel, the lights were off. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I was like, damn. We had to.
How about that? Top flight organization, Chiefs, getting new lights. How about it, baby? Who said we had the worst facility?

Speaker 1 Millions of dollars at stake here, and we can finally turn our lights off and on. And a button.
Yeah. Let's get right to the play everybody's talking about.
Travis, and that's the lateral.

Speaker 1 You guys got about, I don't know, how much time was left in the half? Maybe 30 seconds, something like that? No way. It was not 30 seconds.
It was like two minutes, like just under the two minutes.

Speaker 1 There was no chance there was two minutes left. You guys were

Speaker 1 just under the two minutes. We got the ball back and almost scored again.

Speaker 1 Oh, this was the first possession. Yeah.
Am I right on that? Three and a half minutes left. Yeah, thank thank you.
Okay. I thought that this was the second two-minute deal.
All right. Either way.

Speaker 1 Third and 22, three and a half minutes left. All right, there you go.
Thank you. Third and 22.

Speaker 1 Most teams are like, hey, let's just get the ball in the middle of the field, push it forward, make it a little bit easier for old butt kicker. And you guys

Speaker 1 decided to not do that. Well,

Speaker 1 I actually went into the huddle like, hey, boys, let's just make sure we get in the field goal range here.

Speaker 1 I remember saying that in the huddle. Yeah.
And then Pat literally said, Yeah, listen, you are that. Like, you're the underneath guy.
Like, if you're open, quick. I'm probably going to go to you.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just kind of get north, get as much as you can. We're kicking the field goal.
Yep. Well, that's not what you did.
Here's a clip for those of you that didn't see what he did.

Speaker 1 He did probably the riskiest thing that any coach, it's actually like anybody else that does this plan.

Speaker 1 Stick the plane. Stick the plane.
Oh my God, he's lateraling again. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Hey, how about that? We almost got a first down.

Speaker 1 What was going on in here? I don't. So I knew before you even pitched this.
You did it. When you caught it, and the first thing you did was not tuck it, but you held it like this.
Well, I didn't know.

Speaker 1 I was like, this dude is, and you looked, and I'm like, this dude is about to pitch the ball. Then you tucked it.
I was like, okay, thank God he's not pitching.

Speaker 1 And I was like, oh no, he actually is still going to do it. So, what goes on in your head? It all happens so fast.
I kind of black out,

Speaker 1 which I'm sure Coach Reed is going to love hearing.

Speaker 1 I'm sure Coach Reed doesn't care because there's never been one of these that hasn't worked out.

Speaker 1 One?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we don't want to jinx this.

Speaker 1 So when you catch this ball, do you just know that P. Ryan's going to be in the flat? I had no idea that he had a chip anything on the backside.

Speaker 1 You just know. I was reversing.
I was reversing field. I felt guys over pursuing.
Everyone pursuing to you. And I was like, you kind of just need more yards going this way.
Yeah. And then

Speaker 1 I realized I couldn't get more yards. Like, what is causing you to look and see if there's somebody behind you?

Speaker 1 There's a guy in red over here. I just feel him.
You just feel that. Yeah.
It's like fast-break basketball. You just, you're here and you just feel

Speaker 1 like you're just running the lane. You look like Larry Bird out there.
Larry Bird? Larry Legend. I'll take that.
Just a better-looking version. I mean, Larry was an ugly guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but Larry's a smooth operator. He was very smooth.
Hell yeah. He was.
Well, you got the fourth and one. It was incredible.
I love it. I mean, you can't just throw it on me.

Speaker 1 It's Samaj, unbelievable job by Piran Duke. He had a good one.
actually like be ready because he was he was kind of like shuffling.

Speaker 1 No, I didn't. What did he say? He was, it's not in here, but he was uh

Speaker 1 he was like, yeah, because he hasn't, Piran's only been here for how long? Three weeks. Exactly.
Four weeks. No, I guess the beginning of the season.
It was like right around the start of the season.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's been here for four weeks. I don't think he was, was he there for week one? I think so.
Okay. So he's been here, but he was a late edition.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was definitely here since the beginning of the season.

Speaker 1 So either way, he was like, yeah, you know, I saw him do it a couple times in practice and I just figured, you know, hey, I guess I'll just stay in phase here.

Speaker 1 It's a ball player right there. It's a ball player right there.
I love it, man. They were like, have you ever been a part of something like that? And he's like, nah.

Speaker 1 What was it like? He's like, hey, it's like I'm playing backyard football. It's fun.

Speaker 1 Let's go, baby. Some other reactions, Coach Reed was asked about it.

Speaker 1 And this was actually going into half. Coach Reed was asked about that play.
And he said, we do it every day in practice.

Speaker 1 I can't tell you the name of it. So, Andy clearly acted like this was something that was called.
I mean, and he's not lying. Scott told me this on because I did the halftime segment too.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And they said this clip, and I was like, there ain't no chance that was called

Speaker 1 the old reverse field lateral. From our foot.

Speaker 1 No, yeah. And especially in that situation, no, that was not.
I mean, coach isn't lying, though. We do.
We do do it all. Every, yeah.
I mean, Samadre it too he was ready for it for a reason

Speaker 1 and i think they might should just start letting you do it i think andy kind of does listen just what did andy say have to let it what did andy say to you i haven't talked to coach about it see that's how he's you know he's letting you do it well if he did if if anybody else did it he would be crushing them what why would he be crushing them if he got us to fourth and one and a chance to convert

Speaker 1 because most people are if they try and do that a lot it's going to lead to fumbles and turnovers. But he knows

Speaker 1 for some reason, you have this weird spider-sman sense for lateraling the football that doesn't make any sense. I'll tell you what, Tyler.
Other than the fact that you played basketball.

Speaker 1 My guy, Honey Badger, Tyron Matthew, could have absolutely smoked me on that play. He ran right past you, full speed.
You'll see me. I like braced myself.
I'm like, oh, God. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You were exposed.

Speaker 1 You like bowled it. Nah, man, it was a fun play, and it got us a fourth and one and got us a chance to convert, man.
Another quote from one of your teammates, Pat, was asked about the play.

Speaker 1 I told him I was throwing it to him so we could kick a field goal. Yes, makes sense.

Speaker 1 And he laterals it all the way across the field. It's like I'm talking to Sterling.

Speaker 1 His daughter.

Speaker 1 In one ear, out the other.

Speaker 1 I got you. No, yeah, yeah, for sure.
I'm pretty sure I replied with, I got you. Yeah, no, that's, yeah.
What else would we be doing here? Yeah. No, I got it.
No, I'm with you. Field goal.

Speaker 1 Fourth and one. Hey, we're going for touchdown.
Because you guys ended up getting the fourth and one. We got the fourth and one, but we ended up kicking it.
We could do it anyway.

Speaker 1 But hey, kept the drive alive. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nick Siriani actually called me this morning asking if it was just a design play. Dude, if you watch it from like the

Speaker 1 full 22.

Speaker 1 There's no way you can. You don't think it does? Oh, because of the chip? It's the chip.
And on top of that, it's just like the lateral across field.

Speaker 1 Like that's, I'm not banking on that as a coach that everything's going to go right to where somebody could run across field and then throw it. That's fair.

Speaker 1 I think he knew the answer when he was asking it to me. Yeah.
He just wanted to. We do practice it.
Then we got you in the Wildcat second half. Pat motions out.

Speaker 1 The Big Yeti goes to the Q position, and you guys do a little zone

Speaker 1 read

Speaker 1 type option.

Speaker 1 It wasn't a zone, but you guys do a little read and read the end.

Speaker 1 It was like the power lead. Yeah, exactly.
With Xavier Worthy going on like a little, he's going flat. At at the end collapses on the run

Speaker 1 play far too well man this is the first play I've ever had in college football just a nice little

Speaker 1 trying to score a touchdown at the Love

Speaker 1 the lane man right up the hash but you did not hand it off or you did not keep it you handed it off to Xavier who went around the end of the well you got to read the end you got to read the end you can't

Speaker 1 tell you wanted to keep that bitch I almost because you dragged that read out as long as possible you're like please take it please take it all I have to see if they're you can't.

Speaker 1 Some of these DNs are getting savvy on these reads. If you, so you gotta, you gotta

Speaker 1 keep them honest. And then they'll jump back out.
You're right. You gotta keep them honest.

Speaker 1 They're seeing it a lot more nowadays, especially with the way offenses are incorporating these types of plays more and more.

Speaker 1 But at the end of the day, if it's cloudy, give it to the fastest guy on the team. That's probably a safe bet.
All right, you can just outrun everybody. Just go run in there.
I'll tell you what, man.

Speaker 1 He's fine. You can score the touchdown.
Xavier's been killing it, man. He has been.
I absolutely love watching him play, man. I love playing with him on the field.
And he has this crazy

Speaker 1 ability when he has the ball to just get...

Speaker 1 He's already skinny, but he just

Speaker 1 slithers through shit. Slither is a good trait for a ball.
It is. It is.
And I'm not going to lie. He slithered his way in on that one.
We needed it big.

Speaker 1 Well, he also slithered his way over to his mama. After the touchdown, Xavier Worthy found his mom in the stands and gave her the ball.

Speaker 1 Which, hey, how can you not love a guy that's giving the ball to mama? Yeah, you already know. What's mama worthy of? I was trying to catch him the whole time.
I was like, come here. Come here.

Speaker 1 I handed it to you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're going to your mama. Oh, nice.

Speaker 1 Love it. Yep.

Speaker 1 She'll have some love. Well,

Speaker 1 she'll put that one on the mantle, I'm sure. Then we got to talk about the other thing.
And that's the thing that has been dominant for the Chiefs for,

Speaker 1 I mean, two years now. And that's this defense.
Spag Nola has been running the best defense in the NFL for close to two years now. Spags, man.
I love that guy.

Speaker 1 What else is there to say about the defense that hasn't already been said? I mean, I knew, listen, when you went,

Speaker 1 New Orleans struggled big time against the Eagles and Jalen Carter, and then they're out three interior guys or two interior guys.

Speaker 1 I'm like, dude, Chris Jones about the happy day, and he did not disappoint. He was

Speaker 1 Chris Jones. I'm pretty sure you could have your interior guys in there.
That's good point. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 But I mean, even with those guys out, it's like even more like, gosh, how are they going to do this?

Speaker 1 And they did it.

Speaker 1 You got to have a plan. Well, they had a plan.
And then they got Chris Jones. I mean, I I get it.

Speaker 1 Chris Jones, which was that.

Speaker 1 I can't do it right now. He got a thing going on, man.
This missed. He got a thing

Speaker 1 going

Speaker 1 on.

Speaker 1 He's swimming the gods. All right.

Speaker 1 Bullrush in the center. Man, he is.

Speaker 1 You want to talk about Slithery. It's a big Slithery guy right there.
Yeah, that's a guy that shouldn't be Slithery, but he is. But he is.
Yeah. Like he does.

Speaker 1 Like, I feel like whenever I get a chance to block him in practice, he just knows that he could just pick me up and move me. Yeah.
So he just has fun trying to slither me. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, he knows he can go to that. Yeah.
So he works on the slitheriness so that he has both in his pocket. The defense got the momentum going right from the jump

Speaker 1 when B. Cook.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, B. Cook.
My man Carr.

Speaker 1 just threw a, I mean, it was like a jackpot throw. Jackpot!

Speaker 1 What was he doing? Just

Speaker 1 what was that throw? Dude, I love Derek Carr. Derek Carr, who doesn't?

Speaker 1 When he's on, he's like the best guard.

Speaker 1 I don't know what that was. I've seen Derek Carrow throw some teddies.
Of course. He threw me one in the Pro Bowl, actually.
He threw one in this game. Yeah, he did.
Yeah. He was going to a bomb.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was fucking, you rebounded nice from the interception.

Speaker 1 It was one of my backyard football moments in the Pro Bowl. He's in there.
We get it to the red zone. We had ran the

Speaker 1 Tampa, the corner concept so many freaking times that I went up to him. I was like, hey, if they play in that cover three, I'm just about to run that corner post.
And he looked at me.

Speaker 1 He was like, it registered in his head. He's like, all right.

Speaker 1 Sure enough, right? I'm talking about on time, three and a hitch.

Speaker 1 So the same throw he made in the in that game is the same throw he made because they ran a corner post. That's what they scored on.
Yes, but mine wasn't like 80 yards downfield.

Speaker 1 It was just like a little like 15 yard touchdown.

Speaker 1 But essentially, yeah, he was ready for it. There you go.
I just, I just like it when

Speaker 1 QBs are just ball players. You know what I mean? Like, guys,

Speaker 1 they're not regimented into the lines on the paper.

Speaker 1 This read, then this read, then this read, and then they do this. You got to go out here and make sure shake.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, here are some stats for the Chiefs' defense that has been unbelievable through the first half of the season.

Speaker 1 Well, through the first quarter of the season. The opposing teams feature running backs are a combined 66 carries for 169 yards.
That is a whopping 2.6 yards per carry.

Speaker 1 Zilch, Derrick Henry, who has looked unstoppable these last few weeks for Baltimore. I guess really just that last play this past week, but 13 carries for 46 yards against the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 Zach Moss, 12 carries for 34 yards. Bijan Robinson, heard of that guy.
He ran all over the Eagles. 16 carries for 31 yards.

Speaker 1 J.K. Dobbins, 14 carries.
I mean, these are awful stat lines. Alvin Kamara, one of the best running backs over the last one.
I mean, you just named four of the

Speaker 1 top running backs in the NFL right there. And not just like this year, like that had been up there.
Yeah. Like Alvin Kamara, 11 carries, 26 yards.

Speaker 1 Again, I went into the game not expecting much. Spags was half of those yards on a

Speaker 1 play that was. A broken play that he made happen.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Which that's what he does. And obviously we can throw Spags names out there, but the defense just plays so great together.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And when it comes to the run game, game, Mike Dana, George Carloft, these guys are just like playing their part, and then you got the backers just flying the fuck around.

Speaker 1 Bolton's all over the place, Bolton, you sniff screens at. I mean, he's Drew Tranquil's out there flying the fuck around.
Like, is Leo Chanel a DN now?

Speaker 1 He's everything, he's our like jack of all trade, he could just do everything. Yeah, he's fucking John Cena.

Speaker 1 I just want to see him come to the game in George and a fucking big T and a hat sideways like this.

Speaker 1 You guys saw a few familiar faces come to the game this week. Four former Chiefs, including Tyron Matthew, Willie Gay, and Colin Saunders.
My brother from another.

Speaker 1 And he caught a nice little juju, kind of missed one of them, went off his hands right into the big man's hands. And take a look at this highlight.
He

Speaker 1 was moving.

Speaker 1 Thick pick. That's a nice.

Speaker 1 He was moving. According to NextGen stats, 15.8 miles per hour on this 36-yard interception return.
That doesn't even do it justice. You got to watch it.
His little legs were a churning. Bro,

Speaker 1 them legs aren't little. His stride is little.
No, them legs are short. He's got short little stumpy legs, and they were trucking.

Speaker 1 I mean, former running back in college. He looked like it.

Speaker 1 It was an impressive athletic run. Yeah.
It wasn't like a D-tackle deal. Dude, I've seen that guy do backflips.
I've seen the social clips too. He's a good athlete.
And it was an impressive pick.

Speaker 1 All I could hear was the Super Mario Star theme song.

Speaker 1 The third fastest speed by a ball carrier who weighs over 320 pounds.

Speaker 1 I suppose that's a compliment. That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 Since 2016, which I think is like when they started recording this type of data. Third fastest fat guy.
Well, third fastest, big, like extra fat guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because he's not the fattest, but he's, there ain't many guys over 320. Felt like I ran into a fucking brick wall on the play right before that.

Speaker 1 It was like I caught the ball. And that the play that was designed, it's like, it's such a bang-bang play.
Like, I catch it, and I'm already having to like lean forward.

Speaker 1 So it's like, either the hole's there or it's not. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he was just standing right in. And i'm just like well we're going right here we go yeah

Speaker 1 and he is a all the muscle let me tell you if you're 320 pounds doing flips there ain't a lot of loosey-goosiness to that 320.

Speaker 1 that is a boulder yeah with short stumpy legs on it and he is also the brother oh there he is look at him with the the uh gas mask on oh yeah the bane mask yeah getting some fresh oxygen

Speaker 1 i'd have been tired after that just oh too for sure

Speaker 1 the brown side of the game with eight catches in the first half of tonight's game travis tied his record for second most catches in the first half of a regular season game in his career.

Speaker 1 What the fuck am I reading? He has had eight plus first half receptions versus the Los Angeles Chargers on October 22nd, 23, and nine.

Speaker 1 And then he last had exactly eight first half receptions at Hughes. So he had a really good first half.
That's what that means. Week six, the next time the Chiefs are going to play,

Speaker 1 is going to be week six. They're on a bye this week

Speaker 1 or week seven. They're on a buy this week.

Speaker 1 next week or the next time they're going to play is going to be against san fran i see this is what pisses me off san francisco do you know that they don't like being called san fran san franciscans no like what they like they they get mad if you like abbreviate i don't know because they're because they're too good to be called sam

Speaker 1 you don't get to choose your nickname Everybody knows that growing up, your nickname is what your nickname is. People choose your nickname.
You don't get to choose your own nickname.

Speaker 1 Don't tell me what to call you, Sam Fran. Now I want to call you San Fran more.

Speaker 1 I don't even want to call you Sam. I'm going to shorten it more.
You guys are now Franny. You guys play Franny on week seven next week.

Speaker 1 I won't be a part of this. You don't want to give him any more gas?

Speaker 1 Well, hey, they don't need any more juice. They're going to be fired up to get back in the win calm.
They're not happy with how things have gone, I'm sure. Man, it was tough watching them this week.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you guys have any, you got any backweek points? Of course I do. You're going to tell anybody? No, but if any of it comes out, I'm sure we'll talk about it on the show.

Speaker 1 Let's move along to some week five storylines. Talk about some of the biggest storylines coming out of week five of the NFL.
Me and Jason actually watched Sunday football together. We did.
We did.

Speaker 1 I fell asleep on some of those afternoon games. The four o'clock games, you took a nice little nap.
You're getting ready to play Monday soon. Yeah, and you

Speaker 1 dozed off there a little bit towards the end. I did.
I took a little 15-minute power nap. But that's what Sundays are for.
Yeah, Sunday was officially the longest day of NFL football ever.

Speaker 1 How about that? The London game kicked off the London game? Yeah. At 9:32 a.m.
Eastern on Sunday, and Sunday night football ended at 1 a.m. Eastern because of the raid delay.
Yeah, that's a long day.

Speaker 1 That's a pretty crazy day. I will say this, though, man.

Speaker 1 There's just nothing better than just getting the crew together and watching some football, man. I agree.
I mean, it's a reason why it's the most popular sport in America.

Speaker 1 It's just, and YouTube TV just makes it so fun because you can watch four games a week.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's just,

Speaker 1 it's just, you could, you always have something to talk about and something to see. Sunday ticket and being able to watch all the games drastically improves to Sunday it's

Speaker 1 there's nothing worse than being stuck with the two games that are on that are just abysmal games. Yeah, because now you're just watching like ESPN to see what's happening in the good games.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so being able to go to all the games it's a big bonus. I'm with you man.
Watching that

Speaker 1 What was it? We were watching the Baltimore game Baltimore game Baltimore Cincinnati. That was a freaking

Speaker 1 that was a banger slower first half, but the second half was

Speaker 1 bombed over bag dad. Dude, that Lamar.
We're going to probably get to it, huh? I don't know. I don't know what he put in this rundown.

Speaker 1 No, we're not. Dude, that Lamar touchdown where he broke like three

Speaker 1 stiff arms. He's going to DNS.
Stiff arm Hubbard, and he's running, still rolling. I still throw on him twice.

Speaker 1 Like, bam! Hubbard came back forward. He's like,

Speaker 1 and he keeps going. And I'm like, dude, he's about, there's no way he's about to throw this in the end.
Yes, he is going to throw it. He's going to be throwing in the end zone.

Speaker 1 And it was a dime right to Isaiah Likely. I don't know how Isaiah Likely was that open.
I mean, you can legitimately hold people. I'm not going to lie.
I don't understand what we were doing as the

Speaker 1 tackle the guys.

Speaker 1 And there were two guys over there. Yeah, they were just looking at Lamar, which, I mean, I guess, I mean, I probably would have been mesmerized by what Lamar was doing too.
Nice.

Speaker 1 Now that I think about it, my man Burrow was throwing lights out, too. Dude, Jason.

Speaker 1 It was an old-fashioned gun. Listen, they were talking about defense the whole first three to four weeks has been how the defenses are taking over the league.
Points are down all over the place.

Speaker 1 I mean, grown men are crying about two high safety defenses and how we need to outlaw them.

Speaker 1 Mel Kuyper.

Speaker 1 It's embarrassing. He did go on a rant.
Yeah. Call him.
Stick the draft in Alice's mouth.

Speaker 1 And then Lamar and Joe Burrow go out there.

Speaker 1 Is this the one baseball complains about the... No, we need to wind the baseballs up a little bit.
We need more offense.

Speaker 1 We do need to back the mound up. What? I'm a big fan of backing the mound.
Fuck, you're our Mel Kuiper right now. That's fine.
I don't care.

Speaker 1 I'm not a baseball player, so I can be Mel Kuiper in baseball.

Speaker 1 I get to be that now. You're ridiculous.
That mound distance was set when people were throwing like 80 miles an hour. What?

Speaker 1 That distance, the last time they moved that mound back was

Speaker 1 a time in baseball when offensive... like production was struggling again.
And they wanted more hits. They wanted more on people on base.
They wanted to make the game have more action.

Speaker 1 So they moved the mound back. They haven't moved it back in like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I forget the date, so I'm not just going to pull a number out of my ass, but it's been a long time. The hitters have also gotten better.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I just think that they should move it back just a little bit. They're outlining the shift.
They outlawed the shift. I think that's ridiculous.
You should be able to line up perfectly.

Speaker 1 The shift? You should be able to shift. Don't tell me why I can't like it.
Hit it over there.

Speaker 1 I think that was stupid. I just moved the mound back.
I guess that's probably closer to a high safety state. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So what would be equivalent to baseball to move in the mound? To football? It would be the kickoff? It would be like if they, if like

Speaker 1 what they probably should do for kickers. Kickers are making like 60 yarders like it's routine.
We need to narrow these field goal posts. It's too easy to kick field goals now.
We got to narrow it.

Speaker 1 We got to narrow. We got to go to rugby.
We got to go to rugby goalposts.

Speaker 1 Kickers should not be influencing football games as much as they are right now. Me and Connor Barwin said this like 10 years ago.
We need to get specialists out of the nfl specialists just kickers

Speaker 1 so i was it i was a

Speaker 1 winner at the end the freaking corner ruined the game for everything's got to be a hell hairy now i don't know it adds excitement to the game just throw the ball through the uprights why do we have to have this guy come out here and kick it that doesn't belong on the football field too easy

Speaker 1 make it tighter you just make it he's got just have a big one post you just hit the post

Speaker 1 That's three points. I don't want these guys going out there in soccer shoes and you can't touch them and we're make-believe like this is a football play.
Harry's won me a lot of football games, man.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I'm sure you're pro kickers. You got a great kicker.
And Jake Elliott, shout out to Jake Elliott. He's a great kicker, too.
I just disagree with everything about it.

Speaker 1 Back to offenses not being dead. Rookies Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, and Bo Nicks each had 200 plus and big wins.

Speaker 1 Big days for the rookies. How about it, man? And we were just, so we went to Andrew Santino's show.
Yeah. And after the show,

Speaker 1 after the show, Santino, being a Bears fan, asked me about Caleb Williams. I'm like, I don't know.
He doesn't look that good. And then all of a sudden he goes out and plays like that.

Speaker 1 And I've made sure to text Santino halfway through the game. I'm like, hey, Caleb Williams looks pretty good today.
Yeah, exactly. Dude,

Speaker 1 him and Jaden Daniels both have the ability to extend the play. For sure.
So I feel like with them,

Speaker 1 it's all about...

Speaker 1 understanding the scheme and getting the ball out in time and things like that and letting those extra extended plays like come naturally.

Speaker 1 I think Caleb in the beginning was trying to do a lot with the ball in his hands. Yeah, he wasn't comfortable.
And sometimes you need to have a few of those games to get acclimated into the NFL.

Speaker 1 And now you realize what you can and cannot do.

Speaker 1 He's getting acclimated. The coaches are getting used to what he's good at.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to say he was the team at USC, but he had to do a lot at USC. Sure.
And to feel like that in the NFL is fucking unfair. Well, he's got a lot of good weapons.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 So it's like sometimes just let your guys do some work for you, man. Yeah.
Well, he was fine in DJ. And he was actually, that's what he was doing.

Speaker 1 He was throwing, he was slinging the thing around, right? Yeah, he looked more comfortable this week. The O-line was, I mean, the Panthers were not offering much.

Speaker 1 Yeah, sometimes you just need to, you know, get a little confidence booster. Dude, I don't know.
All I know is that, yeah, some guys take a little bit more time to feel more comfortable.

Speaker 1 Obviously, this is, he's been getting better. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And whether that's him getting more comfortable, the coaches getting more comfortable, the offensive line playing better, it could be a number of things.

Speaker 1 All I know is that it looked pretty good this past week. So hopefully they can build on it.
Their defense is rolling. I did not know they were 3-2.

Speaker 1 I thought the Bears were terrible. And then all of a sudden, I look at their record, I'm like, they're a winning football team? Yeah.
I forgot. Yeah, no,

Speaker 1 that's the NFL for you, bro. Looks to me.
High-level NFL analyst right here on primetime television. Didn't even know the fucking Bears' record.

Speaker 1 I was like, I'm not paying attention. And then they suck.

Speaker 1 And then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, hey, I guess I got to watch the Bears be the the best division of football. That's my opinion, Santino.

Speaker 1 In terms of record, I think they are the best division of football. I think that's right.
Them,

Speaker 1 Minnesota, Lions, and Green Bay, all of them are good. Yeah.
Yeah. NFC North.
I mean, is there anybody else that's even close? I thought the AFC East was going to be good this year. They suck again.

Speaker 1 Every time I think the AFC, I thought they were going to be great last year. And then, like, it's like the Bills are even struggling now.
All of a sudden, they beat the breaks off of Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 And now the last two years, the last two weeks, they've kind of calmed down.

Speaker 1 Jacksonville found a way to get a dub. Dougie P down there.
They did. They got their first win.
Sometimes you just got to

Speaker 1 get back on the tracks, baby. That's right.
That's right. Yeah.
And Joe Flacco reached a top speed at 18.76 miles per hour. Bro, he was moving.
Moving. Yeah.
The big man's still got the stride.

Speaker 1 Yes, he does. He's got long legs.
Yeah. He's got some new shoes.
I saw him on Pat McAfee. He said he's got like coconut something or something.
What the fuck they say about his shoes?

Speaker 1 Brandon, can we get this? He's looking.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yeah, well, he also threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns.
That's probably better than the 18-mile-per-hour run.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think the more impressive one, though, is the 18-mile-per-hour run because

Speaker 1 I just don't know too many other 39-year-olds that can do that. Yeah.
Yeah. Not just 39, but 39-year-olds that were not known for running previously.

Speaker 1 He's never been known for being a runner. No.

Speaker 1 Alec Pierce, former Bearcat, had a lot of those receiving times. How about it, huh? Bearcats is making plays all weekend.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All weekend. While the Bearcats were on a buy, coming back, baby.
Yeah, so it's good that the NFL offenses aren't dead because that

Speaker 1 makes for exciting games. Definitely happy to see the production getting back up there.

Speaker 1 Speaking of getting up there, let's get to the Giants doing something that a lot of people have never seen before. This is all over social media.

Speaker 1 Giants, in their win over the Seahawks 29-20, score a late-minute fumble block kick for a touchdown. The Giants Giants

Speaker 1 jump over or jump through the A gap. Yeah.
19. Who's 19? Do you know 19? Isaiah Simmons.
Isaiah Simmons. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's athletic as hell. Yeah.
Jumps through the A gap. A lot of people didn't know you could jump.
You can jump in the NFL. It is a legal thing to jump.
You are allowed to jump.

Speaker 1 You just can't land on anybody or use yourself to propel. upwards off of somebody, but you can indeed jump on an NFL field.
Noted. Randy Moss made a career out of it.

Speaker 1 They also didn't know that you couldn't hold people down, which that is a little bit of a gray area. 100%.

Speaker 1 It's like there's one thing about yanking someone. You can't like grab and pull the person forward.
That's definitely against the rules. I've seen that call.
That's holding.

Speaker 1 But if you are just, if you are just assisting somebody who's already going in a way, in other words, to in order for you to not get your ass kicked on field goal, you need to be as low as possible.

Speaker 1 So every line, what they do is they get as low as possible

Speaker 1 and then rise on contact. So what the Giants did here is they just put their hands on the O-lineman when they already went low themselves.
So that's not holding. They just assisted them in going low.

Speaker 1 Assisted, nice. Assisted.
And then Simmons jumps out through the A-gap. Great timing.

Speaker 1 One of the reasons you don't see this done as much is because it's near impossible for the jumper to time it that perfect.

Speaker 1 To be able to jump, not touch any of the o-linemen get through those two guys to get the hold or the assist the assist on the o-line

Speaker 1 down

Speaker 1 and then to then land and then rejump there's like a and then the opera there's a million things that have to go right for this to get pulled off is there is there a world where they call this

Speaker 1 a penalty and it's like yeah you can't do that

Speaker 1 like in the future no just like on this play yeah refs make mistakes all the time oh so you think it was completely like there's no like gray, like, oh, it could have gone either way.

Speaker 1 It just depends on like how they say there's a hold on every play. I don't think that this is illegal in any way, okay.
Personally, keep this thing moving. Max Crosby shit talks the tatman,

Speaker 1 what what

Speaker 1 he's got a lot of tattoos, it's a tatman. Oh, he is, he is.

Speaker 1 He is tatted. Um, Max Crosby shit talk uh, caught on broadcast about it, screaming Bo Nick, speak up, they don't fucking know.
While Bo Nicks was audibling

Speaker 1 on a third and four

Speaker 1 in the second quarter. And

Speaker 1 I love a good shit talk. I do.
Is this just good coaching? Because it did kind of look like at first everybody was waiting to figure out what was going on. What do you mean?

Speaker 1 On the Denver side. What do you mean is good coaching?

Speaker 1 For Mike, Max is coaching him up. Max is on coaching.
Yeah. It's good shit talking.
I mean, I think he's just observationally seeing that the O-line is like, what?

Speaker 1 What are we doing? There is some funny stuff that happens in the trenches. trenches.
Like,

Speaker 1 there is confusion sometimes. And sometimes, like, you just say exactly what's happening, and you get this back and forth every once in a while.
Like, he's like, just pull.

Speaker 1 There are moments where it's like, you don't have time. Like,

Speaker 1 you can't say, like, Chico, Chico. What was that? Chico, what? Pull, damn it.

Speaker 1 Just in the fucking cross. There was one.
You know, the radar defense when they're like moving around and they you don't know where the down guys are or anything He was up there.

Speaker 1 He said that the clock was moving. He's like

Speaker 1 just block him

Speaker 1 Dude that will be sometimes like Pat just rambles up like he just spits it out because we're losing time on the clock. Yeah.
And I'm just like, what was that? What? I can't hear.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, all I hear is like the formation. I'm like walking up.
It's like, what the fuck play is this? And he'll just tell me what it is. And then I'll look at the guy that's guarding me.

Speaker 1 I'm like, well, don't just fucking tell them.

Speaker 1 There'll be sometimes you're like playing a team that you play a lot and you're trying to mess with them on like where the slides go. So I'd be like this.
I'd be like, hey, rip, rip, rip.

Speaker 1 And he's like, what? He's like, rip! God damn it.

Speaker 1 Now everybody knows you ruined it.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. Locker room media policy.
Let's get to the real important stuff.

Speaker 1 And more important news around around the league, the NFLPA has put out a statement about something that they shouldn't be worried about at all.

Speaker 1 The NFLPA has put out a statement about moving media interviews out of the locker rooms. And a lot of players have since spoken up about this.

Speaker 1 This has been something that guys have talked about for a long time.

Speaker 1 For those of you that don't know, after games or practices, there is a period of time that the locker room is open for media members to go in and talk to players,

Speaker 1 interview them, ask, you know, what happened in the game, you know, what's going on this week, whatever stories they're writing.

Speaker 1 And there's no and to that. That is meat watch.

Speaker 1 I don't think that that's why they're in there. This is what is being

Speaker 1 alleged. This is, yeah, this is what, I mean, this is what is being alleged.

Speaker 1 I suppose that there's probably been a few Peters gazed over the years.

Speaker 1 Here's the statement the NFL PA has issued. Tori Smith tweeted.
My good friend Tori Smith, former teammates who both championed Tori. Speak up for the league, man.

Speaker 1 Torrey Smith, if only y'all knew how awkward some of the male reporters act. Straight meat watchers.
I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 It is a little weird that people are in there, but I don't mind. I never minded it.
You never mind a.

Speaker 1 Listen, somebody wants...

Speaker 1 My dick is low on the totem pole. I'm not impressing anybody or doing anything.
If you want to look at it, go for it. Be my guest.
They got nothing.

Speaker 1 It's not going to impress you. It's going to be.
It's going to make some babies, man. So it's going going to be.
It's efficient. It gets the job done.

Speaker 1 Especially making girls, but it's not. I don't know.
I've never cared. I've never thought about it.
And I've never noticed anybody staring at it. We've been in locker rooms our entire lives.

Speaker 1 So it's like. I still remember going into the YMCA in Cleveland Heights and seeing an old man's balls drag along a sauna.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that we were all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 Which is risky in two ways, man. You can splinter those things.
Yeah. I remember it being visually.

Speaker 1 You can sear those things, man. Literally,

Speaker 1 I was a meat gay.

Speaker 1 You know how hard it is not to look at an old man balls and a sauna? You can't not look at those. And there's nothing sexual about it, Tori.
It's like, how the hell are those things hanging that low?

Speaker 1 He's got a point. Tori, man.

Speaker 1 I think this was

Speaker 1 an absolutely hilarious statement. And you know, Twitter.
Twitter, you can just have some fun on there. Yeah, Kyle Yuschek also went out there on Twitter.
He said, maybe we can keep Grant Kahn.

Speaker 1 I think that's how you pronounce this guy's name. Sorry, Grant, for this.

Speaker 1 From always hanging out around lockers while we're changing. So he directly, not only is calling out the collective group of porters, but Grant is catching strays here.

Speaker 1 Apparently, he has been known to

Speaker 1 shut up the juice, man. I do think.

Speaker 1 I don't think this is

Speaker 1 the problem that it's being made out to be. It's so funny, though.
I really honestly think guys just don't want to be interviewed in the locker room.

Speaker 1 And a lot of people are crying wolf right now to just try and get the reporters on the locker.

Speaker 1 Hey, listen, man. It sounds like everybody's having fun with it, man.
I don't, yeah, I'm just like, I don't, I don't think this is a big deal. I never had an issue with it.
I think it's like

Speaker 1 it's so easy to just not show your dick to everybody. Like,

Speaker 1 put a towel on or go into the bathroom that they aren't in. Like they're not in the showers.
Like, hey, I have to catch that ball.

Speaker 1 Like, you can definitely not show your dick if you don't want to, guys. It's not mandatory that your dick's out while you're talking to these people.
I think it's actually encouraged.

Speaker 1 Excuse me, lower your pants, please. I need to do my interview now.

Speaker 1 The fuck are we talking about?

Speaker 1 You don't know what the problem is. No, I've never had a problem with it, but

Speaker 1 I think it's actually encouraged by the NFL to be clothed. I don't think they encourage you to be naked.
Hey, can you you please show me that tush-push

Speaker 1 reach down and touch your toes real quick? I want to see what this looks like.

Speaker 1 If you're self-conscious, there's definitely a way to not have your genitals out. Breaking NFL news, the Jets announced they have parted ways with the head coach Robert Salah because he was the issue.

Speaker 1 After five games this season and a two and three record, the much maligned Jets offense struggling and they fire their defensive coach. Jens J, can we get your thoughts?

Speaker 1 I'm here. I'm in the house.
You are here. Nice.
You are our

Speaker 1 expert in the New York Jets

Speaker 1 comings and goings. What are your thoughts on the departure of head coach Robert Sala?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I mean, everything's going great. This seems like a well-run organization, nothing going wrong.

Speaker 6 It's crazy.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 6 every year I get my hopes up. And every year, five weeks into the season, I'm in the same damn place.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Are you familiar with the definition of insanity?

Speaker 6 I've heard this once or twice.

Speaker 6 I love this team. There's nothing I can do.

Speaker 6 But maybe hiring a defensive head coach, forcing him to pick a quarterback he didn't want, forcing him to fire the offensive coordinator, then hiring a different offensive coordinator he didn't want, then firing him because the offense sucked might not be a good idea.

Speaker 6 Just my take. I'm dumb.
I don't know football.

Speaker 1 But that's my thought. Well,

Speaker 1 I think you're right in everything you just said. What is the, what do you think should be the next head coach of the New York Jets?

Speaker 6 All right, so I got one name. I'm going to fix the organization.
You guys are going to love it. He's a Northeast Ohio boy.

Speaker 1 Go get Mike Vrabel. Call Mike Vrabel today.
Get him in the building.

Speaker 6 That guy can run a program.

Speaker 1 Listen, I don't hate that.

Speaker 1 They need to be able to do that. I will say right now.

Speaker 1 I don't know that it's Robin. I'm not doing this year or something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, not right now. I don't know that anybody's taking that job this year.
It doesn't feel like any, it doesn't matter who they hire as a head coach. The head coach is Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 I don't don't even know why they're not even just naming him the head coach. I just want to see a player coach.

Speaker 1 I do too, man. I kind of want to see it.
I just want to see it. Just make Aaron the head coach.
Just do it. You know you want to do it.

Speaker 1 Everybody wants to see it.

Speaker 1 What if he just fucking leaked into the promised land?

Speaker 1 That would be fucking awesome. Shut up, Jake.
You might go upstairs.

Speaker 1 You have any other thoughts from around the league you want to share while you have your moment here, Chetsch?

Speaker 6 This nook is really sweet. This is a good setup you got here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we don't need that kind of comment. We always ask him about NFL takes.
But thank you. Yeah, we'll talk to those.
Thanks, guys. And lastly, it's time for the segment.
We debuted last week.

Speaker 1 Coach quote of the week. That's a good segment.
A little context for this quote. During the Broncos Raiders game, cameras caught Bo Nixon, Sean Payton going at it on the sideline.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think we could tell from body language. Sometimes coaches like this.
Howard Mudd used to purposely get guys riled up just to see if they would like tell him you're wrong, Coach.

Speaker 1 He'd play mind games like that, yeah, which I think is kind of fucked up, but I respect it. I mean, we want to talk about the best-to-do-it ever.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady used to fucking get pissed on the sideline, yeah. You show some aggression.

Speaker 1 I'm like, listen, I don't have a problem with showing emotion, and it's certainly it seems like Sean Payton doesn't have a problem with it either.

Speaker 1 Post-game, Sean Payton asked about this moment, said there's still a little bit of Ferris Bueller in this player that we're trying to get rid of. Um, hold on, what does that mean?

Speaker 1 I fucking love Ferris. I got a little Ferris Bueller.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you should ever get aware of Ferris Bueller. What's wrong with skipping school? Yeah.
Skipping school and stealing cars. What's wrong with that?

Speaker 1 If Bo Mix is Ferris, does that make Sean Payton

Speaker 1 principal? The principal. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's his name?

Speaker 1 Rooney. Principal Rootin.
Thank you, Brandon. Yeah, does that make Sean Payton principal? Because Principal Rooney is the bad guy in the movie.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't. If any of you watched that movie, Ferris Bueller is the good guy.
Yeah. He's who you're rooting for.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ferris Bueller's the coolest fucking character in pretty much any movie I've ever seen. Keep fighting authority.
Authority figures suck.

Speaker 1 Principal Rooney sucks. Keep eating you.
You're the good guy in this. Don't forget.
Everybody loves Ferris Bueller. Nobody likes Principal Rooney.
But also, have a good relationship with your coach.

Speaker 1 Also, listen to Sean Payton. He's been a really good coach for a long time.

Speaker 1 Oh, and then one last quote. Cowboys beat the Steelers on a last-second Dak touchdown to Jalen Tolbert.
Good play, right there. Good play to end again.

Speaker 1 Here is Smith on the game-winning touchdown pass from Dak Pretzcott to Jalen Tolbert. Bro, it was miraculous.
JT literally sprained his fucking nuts. Excuse me.
Sorry, guys.

Speaker 1 Sprained his nuts the play before.

Speaker 1 Then comes back, makes the game winner. Unbelievable.
I love that he thought saying fucking was the worst part of this statement. Swear jar.

Speaker 1 Fucking sorry, guys. Sorry, I forgot I'm not supposed to say it.
He sprained his nuts.

Speaker 1 What does that even mean? Can you sprain your nuts? I think,

Speaker 1 I don't know. I know, you know, you can do it.
I've never heard of that one. You know what you can do? You can twist your nuts.
You call it testiculous torsion. Yeah.
You can.

Speaker 1 Which, by the way, is a hospitable,

Speaker 1 like,

Speaker 1 I'll never forget a center for Cleveland Heights. And he had to go to the emergency room.
You can die. That's how important testicles are, kids.

Speaker 1 Which is why, if you see an old man in a sauna, do not twist them things because they are very twistable.

Speaker 1 They were droopy. drooping there they they're some sad nuts they are down low

Speaker 1 they have seen a lot of gravity through the years and they are prone to detortion that skin got a little loose as he got older

Speaker 1 one would only assume they were not fresh out looking like that thank you tyler smith for cleaning up that quote uh and making it safe for the kids watching uh kids watch your nuts that does it for week five roundup let's get to some no-dumb questions before we get out of here let's wrap up the show with some no-dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions, just dumb people.

Speaker 1 No dumb questions is brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. What was the bit that we did about American Express? Don't steal home without it.
That's right.

Speaker 1 Don't steal home without it. God made me.
Shout out to the guards, baby. Let's go, man.
From Lacey Amos.

Speaker 1 Hey, New Height Show. What's the story with the T.
Kelsey T-Rex logo on the inside of his gloves? Well, Travis.

Speaker 1 I would like to know this question and answer as well. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, the gloves are custom from Nike and Nike asked me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, from Nike and they asked me if I wanted to throw a logo in there. And I guess when I was a kid,

Speaker 1 you say it best when you say you don't choose your own nicknames. I was given the nickname T-Rex when I played Lopost basketball when I was like 10 years old.
Okay. Why were you nicknamed T-Rex?

Speaker 1 That's a good question. I think T for Travis and T-Rex was like kind of like a

Speaker 1 mind frame, like a mindset.

Speaker 1 That sounds like a little kid like naked yeah or it was because i was just like fat with short arms why have i never heard this before i don't know it was that in traveling trab have you heard traveling trap i did not hear traveling trap that's not a mix not because i was traveling all over the world

Speaker 1 it was because i did not want to put that basketball not because i was carmen san diego it was

Speaker 1 it was because i did not like to dribble i wasn't a dribbler uh at all

Speaker 1 who does

Speaker 1 you and lebron james well i mean back in the day it was traveling nowadays I would have, honestly, I could probably make it to the NFL. I mean, NBA.
You know what?

Speaker 1 I used to think there is no chance in hell, but the more I see how close in height you are to some of these guys.

Speaker 1 You think height is the

Speaker 1 difference. The team isn't the difference.
Dude,

Speaker 1 Steph Curry is an outlier. Just because he can shoot like threes from mid-court, height is a big deal in whether you can make it to the NBA.
Steph Curry is like 6'4. I know.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 He's short. So when you, like, you're 6'5 ⁇ , I didn't think you had the height necessary to play in the low post.
Oh, no, I definitely didn't. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But then I see you next to Luca, and you're the same fucking height as the guy.

Speaker 1 So you could have it. You probably could have done it.
I think you legitimately might have had a chance to do it.

Speaker 1 I don't think I would have been a superstar or an all-star or anything, but I think I could have made it. I think you might have been.
Especially with them lateral moves.

Speaker 1 That helps you on the basketball court more than it does the NFL court. Listen, fast break.
You want me on the fast break.

Speaker 1 Unless you have to travel. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get the rebound and start the fast break. Got it.

Speaker 1 Where I traveled was like on the wing trying to

Speaker 1 fuck.

Speaker 1 I love that maneuver.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, there you go, Lacey Amos.

Speaker 1 Next note of the childhood nickname that I like to really embrace the mentality of a T-Rex on the field. I think that's where I was going with.
T-Rex, T-Rex on the field.

Speaker 1 I think you're the exact opposite of a T-Rex. T-Rex, bad vision.
Yeah. Although they see objects that move.
So maybe when you saw Piran move and then you're like, oh, T-Rex,

Speaker 1 you don't have short arms either. I don't get that.
Your arms are long. Yeah, I think it was.
At least average for your arms. I think it was just a nickname from when I was younger.

Speaker 1 Next no-dump question. Joe Cunningham, 1937.
No-dump question. What happened to the shout-outs? Nobody is taking their game to New Heights this year? Bummer.

Speaker 1 Very passive-aggressive there from you, Joe. Yeah.
We want to bring it back. I guess, well, Joe wants it back.
All right.

Speaker 1 You got a shout-out? You got a new Heights? Stamp of the Week. Then you got a stamper?

Speaker 1 I'll give Alec Pierce some love. He almost single-handedly, along with Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 Had the Colts come back this week. They didn't quite get it done, but he had some long catches late.

Speaker 1 He's been having a good year. Alec Pierce has been having a real good year.
He's been having a good career so far. He's been doing his thing over there in Indy.
There we go. All right, now.

Speaker 1 Who are you going with? Who am I going with? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll give my stamp to my guy, Jiu Ju Smith Schuster. Hey, that's a good one.
Niner, man. He's out there balling right now.
He is. He is.
It's a heck of a welcome back into the starting lineup.
