Trap.

Oh, I hear you.

Can you hear me?

Yeah, I can hear you.

I was saying there's not that much of a difference.

Hold on.

Let me just read this real quick.

Having a good old time.

And this show is brought to you by Buffalo wild wings.

Let's go sports bar.

Jason,

you got to clap.

Thank you.

Well done.

Travis.

Jason,

why don't you tell the people what we got coming up?

As Travis said, this is a wondery show produced by our friends at Wave Sports and Entertainment. Coming up this episode, we got a great one planned for you, 92 Percenters.
As you can see, Travis is dressed to the nines for this occasion. We're going to talk about the Big Yetis Big Game in LA.
Big Game. I had 89 yards.
That's not a big game. The rest of the biggest stories from around the league, including Jared Goff and Jaden Daniels, breaking all kinds of records.
We're also going to pick our finalists for the New Heights Film Club. And of course, wrap up with some more of your not-dumb questions.
Well, before we get to anything, I got to be honest, I was really hungry. We kind of, I was rushing off the course, and I thought I'd get right to it.
Buffalo Wild Wings Sports Bar is our official sponsor for this episode, and they sent me a bunch of Buffalo Wild Wings. So I'm going to eat some wild wings.
I mean, dude, they sent so much. I can't even, like, I have wings.
I don't even know what to do with all that. this is probably, I mean, no joke.
Let me do some math real quick. So two and a half, five.
This is probably, I probably got about, I don't know, 15 dead chickens sitting in my lap right now. Deep fried and covered in delicious sauces.
Talk to me dirty.

As well as blue cheese.

Got this wonderful bacon burger,

which I really like how they've layered it.

That smells delicious.

Now that you know who this show is brought to you by

and Jason's eating his wings,

I might as well tell you guys

why I even have this mascot head on and where it comes from. It comes from good old Lubbock, Texas.
That's right. The Texas Tech Red Raiders beat up on our Cincinnati Bearcats over the weekend and me and Pat had a little fun little wager that we came up with.
If the Bearcats would have won, Pat would been at the press conference uh that he has every single week um wearing a Bearcat mascot head and sure enough as you can see the Bearcats lost because I'm sitting here looking like an idiot wearing this Red Raiders mascot let you know right now you don't look like an idiot at all you look like well I mean Jason this is it's just who I am all right I can I feel like you know? You just got to own it. You look like a full-on version of Yosemite Sam is what you look like.
I mean, that's the only thing. The Red Raiders clearly stole Yosemite Sam.
I'm not going to lie. It is kind of an honor, though, because I used to play with this guy in NCAA football, like, growing up when you could just do the full mascot teams.
I used to play with this guy all the time. Well, you're killing it.

Yeah.

Thanks a lot, Coach Satterfield.

Much appreciated.

It's extremely hot under here.

You don't get a lot of, there's not a lot of air coming through this thing.

So it kind of feels like I'm hyperventilating a little bit.

Do you have a newfound respect for mascots trying to podcast in it

and realizing that they do like flips and run around a stadium? Not that I didn already respect them but i mean if this is what they're doing in lubbock texas in a hundred degree dry ass heat fuck that oh my gosh that thing's got some bacteria in there and on top of that they're running around getting everybody excited yeah does that thing have mold going on the inside? Whatever that guy does, guns up, guns up. You think he just does guns up to everybody? I mean, probably.
That's what I'm doing. I'm not doing too much.
What else can you do? Definitely not going above and beyond. But shout out to the Texas Tech Red Raiders for getting the dub.
It was the first time the Bearcats played Texas or played Tech, and me and Pat wanted

to have some fun with it, knowing that I don't think we'd ever matched up in the football field

before. So, Bearcats, I need you guys next time, baby.
But you didn't disappoint either. That was

a great game, man. Does he have a Stetson cowboy hat? Do you know what kind of brand cowboy hat

that is? I have no idea. You like that one? that was good howdy give me give us your best if if red raider talked give us your best what you think red raider would sound like yeah come on down to live in texas that's all all I got.
Yeah, I mean, that's it.

We'll throw batteries at you.

We'll throw tortillas at you.

You come down here, you're going to get your ass whooped.

Yee-hoo!

Yee-hoo!

Welcome to Lubbock, Texas, where there's tumbleweeds and college football.

That's all we got. Yeah, tumbleweeds and college football.
That's all we got.

Yeah, tumbleweeds and college football.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

That was awesome.

Oh, God.

Woo!

And I'm still repping the Bearcats, baby, all day.

You see.

I got to give another shout out before we get started.

I played at that TPC course in Connecticut. The woman that got me on, her name, Aunt Robin, got me on the course.
Okay, Mrs. Rob.
She was trying to find garage beers to give us for the round, but apparently they're not in Connecticut. We got to get on Andy and those guys to freaking step up their game in Connecticut.
But she did hook us up with some Neal's Donuts. Oh, man.
I was going to let you know. I already had one.
Yeah. Good thing they're over there.
They might give Lamar's a run for their money out there in KC. Ooh, the golden yellow box.
The yellow boxes are dangerous. Gosh, these donuts were great.
I love a good yellow box. I'm at that point in the season where I'm like, let me just push it away.

Just, I see that golden glazed donut just, just sitting in the yellow box. I'm just like, I don't need that today.
I'll get it tomorrow. Knowing that they don't have boxes of donuts in the building every day.
Just lie to myself so that I don't just grab 10 donuts and run around the corner and just stuff my face like a little fat kid. What happened to all the donuts? It's a sad day when you're in your NFL career and you realize you've hit that age where you can't just eat whatever you want.
I said, God damn it. I remember I used to live for ice cream the day before games.
Oh yeah. The little snack bar.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I'll treat you a cheeseburger. I'll treat you some ice cream.
It got to like year 12 and Brent Selleck said something to me before one of the games one day. He's like, man, I shouldn't have had a milkshake last night.
I just feel like crap. I was like, yeah, S was like yeah so like it's not the fact you play football it's the milkshake and then i got to year 12 and i ate some ice cream and i tried to go play football the next day and i was like oh shit this is why am i so lethargic today i just feel like a like a big blob yeah am i bloated my bloating well i'm gonna keep eating these buffalo wild wings and donuts so thank you buffalo wild wings and buffalo wild wings go triple bacon cheeseburger and uh the buffalo bacon sauce was tremendous to be delivered let's go sports bar all right new news new news new news is brought to you by our friends at varney airlines where good leads the way how do you even remember i guess you read it so yeah new news is brought to you by our friends at united airlines where good leads the way did united ever get back to us on whether they like the whole varney Airlines bit or not? Their fans? All right.
First bit of new news we got is Kelsey Car Jam out here in Kansas City. That's right.
My foundation, 87 and Running, has the annual foundation event. This year is the second year we've done a car show.
Basically a block party style event that will showcase some of the city's top automobiles from the fuel house, a fun car club out here. And then I guess a bunch of others that are lined up.
It's going to be fun. I should have my old school 70 Chevelle all revved up and ready to rock and roll.
But I'll bring one of the other cars that I have. Jason should be there.
and it is this saturday that's why we're reminding you guys all the proceeds to the event will go to uh 87 and running foundation which benefits the inner city of uh kansas city cleveland heights ohio um and uh and just the uh the uh underserved uh youth in the in in the city and it's um it's always fun to get out here in Kansas City. Kansas City, they show up every single time that I've done anything foundation-wise, and I love them for it.
So if you're in town for the game, just stopping through or just live here in Kansas City and want to get out on Saturday afternoon, come on down to the kelsey car jam baby this could be downtown in the kc area and uh tickets are still available for the kelsey car jam at um 87 and running.org i believe oh check it out guys would love to see you guys down there i can't wait to go i'm i missed last year obviously now that i'm retired i had the opportunity to go this year and i I'm looking forward to it. No, it'll be fun, man.
It'll be fun. Always some good food, some fun cars, and just a nice, fun evening for the city to enjoy.
Do people that attend get to drive any of these cars? Is there like a test track? No. No? No.
Do you think people will let me potentially drive some of the cars? I think you could persuade. You're very good.
You could persuade some people. I probably should wait on the garage beers then.
Yeah. All right.
Let's talk about Grotesquerie exclusive clip. We talked about the premiere of Trav's new show, Grotesquerie.
Grotesquerie. And 92% as we've got a very special treat for you today and a treat for Jason, because I haven't seen this either.

Tonight, Wednesday, October 2nd, Travis's character is going to be introduced in episode

three.

Old Ed Lachlan.

That's right.

Wait, what's your character's name?

Ed Lachlan.

Did you get to choose Ed?

Nope.

Is that in honor of Ed Kelsey?

It's just fate.

It's just fate, man.

Just lines up perfect.

I could see Ed Kelsey being a murderer.

What? If somebody told me Dad

killed somebody, I'd be like, yeah, it's...

It's for good reason, though. I could see it

for good reason. Yeah, he wouldn't kill anybody.

Yeah. Like, he's not a...
I don't think...

I think a serial killer. I don't think Ed Kelsey

could do the things that are going

on in grotesqueria.

We're going to talk about that in a second.

I was about to say, yeah.

But yes, episode three at 10 p.m.

on FX tonight.

You can see Travis's

character. What's it? Ed what?

Lachlan. Ed Lachlan going to make his

debut. But you don't have to wait because

the grotesquerie team sent us

Nisi's awesome. And Nisi made it to the L.A.
game. I saw that.
How about that? She came out and supported me at the Chargers game. It was cool seeing her on the sideline.
Mama Kels had nothing but amazing things to say about her, as does everybody else. All right.
I'm going to need you to stop dodging. Oh, shit.
Did you boil a baby or not? Jason, do I look like I have the courage or the... I don't even know what the fucked up-ness about me to boil a fucking baby no you don't but ed laughlin might i jason just watch the show i think you're so in that clip you're dressed like you work at the mental hospital what's the difference between what why does that listen i've Island before, Travis.
When you start working at mental institutions, all sorts of crazy things start happening with the characters. People who you think are one thing start turning into other things.
No, that's because the people... This is a show I've seen before, baby.
So somebody in there is crazy and I don't know who it is, but it might be Niecy. It probably is Niecy.
What? You just said it was me and now you're saying it's nisi you have no idea i don't think you're a real character i think you're a made-up figment of nisi's imagination is what i think damn man i can't even be a real character if you didn't watch the first two episodes make sure you watch the first two episodes so you know what you're getting yourself into this shit is crazy it is insane it is it's very mysterious i can't wait i can't yeah i'm excited for everybody to keep seeing how uh how everything unfolds so tonight grotesquerie on fx make sure you guys check it out and uh you can also check it out on hulu the next day oh nice makes it easy if you want to just binge watch the first three episodes but um if you want to see it live check it out tonight and moving on to the last bit of new news if you're looking for a new cookbook and want to support a great cause mama kelse mama donna has contributed to the cooking with the stars with two r's on it. She has a new cookbook coming out, Jason.
This book is being sold to support the Star Children's Fund and raise money for pediatric cancer research, which is always a good cause. Mom's the best.
Isn't she just the sweetest woman in the world yes she is um and she knows how to

cook now she does she does she's you don't get you don't get too big old boys like this without knowing how to cook that's right all right now the star fund was funded by green bay packer legend and two-time super bowl champion bart star how about that and his wife uh sherry star so that's why the two R's on the foundation, Starr Children's Foundation. There we go.
And this is the recipe Mama Kel submitted. So let's see what Mama Kel's threw in there.
I think we know what it is. What is it, lasagna? No, that was dad.
Baked, sweet and spicy chicken breast. She never fucking made this for us.
Yeah, I've never had this. What? I'm calling nonsense on this.
She got real good when we left the house. She got real good.
And when Dad stopped slowing her down, she... Yeah.
It's fucked up. Dad would just eat the chicken breast before they even...
God damn it, Ed. All right, now.

You know? Wasn't it just like a joke?

It wasn't it wasn't it just like a joke it wasn't it wasn't almost like a parody it was a full-on parody yeah that's what i thought it's not like i don't remember it all like that i just remember them having like the tall gold looking thing that looked like it's supposed to be fucking whatever. Yeah.
No, it was Spaceballs. I was so young when I watched Spaceballs.
I watched a part of it as an adult. And I can just tell that there's infinitely more references I'm going to get and enjoy out of that movie now being older.
Do we have to watch the Star Wars that came out before that, though, to understand the references and stuff? I feel like we might have to. Have you not seen all the Star Wars movies? I don't remember them.
You've seen them though. You know them enough to get Spaceballs.
Spaceballs, alright. Spaceballs, Remember the Titans.
I remember like it was yesterday. I don't even need to watch that one.
Kazam. Do you remember that? Kazam is a classic Shaquille O'Neal.
Yeah. Love.
Actually. I don't remember that one.
Yeah. Oh, who's that guy? Hugh Grant.
Maybe Hugh Grant, the guy that went to the T Swift show in England. Yeah.
Who was the fucking man. Yeah.
He was pretty good looking. I mean, he still got it for sure.
Necessary roughness. Roughness.
This was, fucking man. Yeah.
He was, um, it's pretty good looking. I mean, he's still got it for sure.
Uh, necessary roughness. This was, I remember it was a football movie.
I couldn't tell you anybody that was in it. Let me look this up real quick.
Necessary roughness. I don't know why I want to say Sinbad was in it.
Necessary roughness. Sinbad is in it.
That is correct. He is.
He is.

I don't remember this movie.

I was in on every Sinbad movie.

I forget half of them now.

I forget the titles of them.

I know which one you're talking about.

They have the race at the end of it.

Yes, dude.

What movie was that?

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Definitely not watching that one again.

This movie does remind me of another movie.

Blake Lively.

Nice. I'm surprised you've even seen that i haven't seen that and i don't plan on seeing it i i was out after it said sisterhood and got even you have an entire household full of sisterhood and got even more out when it said of the traveling pants i got there's multiple things i'm not interested in about this movie and just the title alone but this does remind me of uh what's the movie with whoopi goldberg where she's the nun sister act sister act get this one out of there we need sister act in there sister act too though i want sister act too though sister act too was that was more my jam they brought in i believe kids and it was it was a whole lot more fun i feel like i've already rewatched the goonies is like so common that you end up rewatching it right yeah have you seen the goonies yes i've seen the goonies jason okay who's who's uh the the the large fellow in goonies what's his name i don't know no not him not him not him.
Not him. Snickers guy? I don't fucking know.
Chunk. You're talking about...
Oh, the guy? You mean the little fucking kid? Oh my gosh. What? You're talking about a grown-ass man.
My best friend's wedding? When did you watch all these movies? I'm pretty sure I've seen it. Who's in it? Before I look it up.
I don't know't know i mean oh julia roberts yep no i haven't seen that one either yeah i'm not watching that one again parent trap classic yeah that's a good one classic disney movie bridget jones diary ah no thank you no not a big not a big diary guy heavyweights i mean i watched it yesterday i'll Watch it again. And then.
I have everybody on the team watching heavyweights. This one is one that mom recommended because we used to watch it all the time as kids.
Oh, mom. Swiss Family Robinson.
Again, one of those that I just would rather not. Have you rewatched it? No.
Trav? Yeah. Do yourself a yourself a favor yeah you should go re-watch it you love it no it's terrible it's it's not terrible okay it was fucking state-of-the-art hot it was the best hottest movie out in 1960 when it came out when mom was a kid Go rewatch it.
you love watching old 1960s movies though you're fucking you love that shit of course i do listen i i get like some guilty pleasure watching it but it's one of those old ones that it puts up the disclaimer at the front end like oh we're about to see some culturally inappropriate material for 2024. That's not funny.

We can't laugh at that.

It's just full-on animal.

Dude.

I'm out.

It's animal mistreatment.

There's a full-on tiger and a dog fighting in one of the scenes,

and it's a little bit too real.

You know what I mean?

I don't care how good you are at acting.

They're riding an ostrich or an emu at one of the points,

full-on just riding it. I don't think you can get away with that these days.
No, you aren't acting. They're riding an ostrich or an emu at one of the points.
That's full on just riding it. I mean, I don't think you get away with that these days.
No, you can't. So it looks like it's either Spaceballs.
We got to pick from these. Kazam.
These are the ones I'm thinking right now. Spaceballs, Kazam.
Give me your top two. I'll give you my top two and then we'll just go from there.
Of these? Of these. These aren't my favorite that were submitted these are like brandon and jake's it's not up to you jason this is why they go to one tree plus i mean i've already watched i watch heavyweights probably once a month it's the best movie of all time i can't re-watch heavyweights it's the best it's by far the best movie on here next is space balls i'll put this space balls i'll put space balls there.
It's not really a kid movie, which is kind of the

reason we did this, but

Spaceballs, I feel like we're going to get

way more references being

older and watching it.

And I haven't watched

it in its entirety in a long time, so I'll go

Spaceballs. And

oh yeah, we said two? Yeah.

There's just a lot of chick flicks. We got a lot of Swifties

trying to make us watch bad movies.

I'll go

Spaceballs and can we do Sister Act? Sister Act 2. I'm only doing Sister Act 2.
How about Naked Guns? Spaceballs and Naked Gun. I can't.
I'll go Spaceballs and the Goonies. I've seen the Goonies and Heavyweights because they're two, like,

movies that people watch frequently.

All right.

I'm going to say, I mean, it's, I guess it's Spaceballs.

I was going to say Necessary Roughness just to.

I've never seen that movie, which would actually be pretty dope.

That's what I'm saying.

All right, let's throw Necessary Roughness in there for sure because I've never even seen it.

Yeah.

I think I have.

Like, after I looked at the thing, I was like, maybe I i have seen this but i certainly don't remember it or any details it's like some type of college team necessary roughness and i guess uh let's go space balls fuck it you know bridget jones diary i mean i'll watch it i don't have a problem with any of these jason i'll watch whatever one i don't have a problem with them either but if we put one of these chick flicks on there it's gonna fucking win all right which chick flick we got to do one chick flick and one that we all right so necessary i just what is sisterhood of the traveling pants about like it's just talking about hand-me-down pants that's the that's the premise of the movie hand-me-downs what the fuck do you have against Hammy Downs? I don't have anything wrong against it.

I just don't know what the fuck there needs to be a movie.

But why does there need to be a movie about Hammy Downs?

Fucking guy.

Because sometimes it turns into a nice story, Jason.

I just accidentally, I just tried to Google

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

I typed in Sisterhood of the Hammy Downs.

You're a dickhead.

Did Traveling Pants show up?

No. That would have been great.
That would have been great. You know what I'm going to go here.
All right, we're going to do this. We're going to Wikipedia this.
What is sisterhood? No, Jason, this isn't that. This is not that.
Why are you turning it into that? What do you mean? This is just we pick two fucking names and keep it moving and let the 92 percenters do it. All right, sister traveling pants damn it 2005 american calming of age comedy drama film directed by ken cuapis and i'm sure you reading that just made you think oh yeah i want to watch this i don't want to watch this it gave you absolutely nothing that's a long plot rotten tomatoes has an approval rating of 82 percent It's high.
Must be some good pants.

I mean, I'm going to have to watch this fucking movie now. This is the point of doing...
All right, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants it is. Let's go.
So I'll watch some pants. It's going to be great.
Twilight, at least Twilight had vampires.

I shot him a shout of a text on IG. Just made sure I let him know, you better be partying your ass off right now, brother.
You guys did it. So I was pumped.
I was pumped to see him give me a shout out on the on the podium. And what a.
And shout out to the entire president's team, man, the U.S. team.
Tony does realize, though, that he's shouting at the Beastie Boys, not Travis Kelsey, right? Everybody knows that. Me and Tony go, we go way back.
That's my guy. Time out.
Why have I never gotten the opportunity to hang out with you and Tony? Because, Jason, you have to leave the house. We talk about this year in, year out.
I don't want to leave the house. You're a golfer now, though.
You have a golf t-shirt on right now, so you are a golfer. I'll tell you what.
If I swung more like Tony and didn't take my backswing like John Daly, I would be so better at golf. Dude, he is so just smooth.
He doesn't get too crazy with the backswing. He's short on the backswing, too.
He's got a nice... He doesn't over-rotate it, which I always...
I'm like, why don't I just do that? Yeah, big dude. Big guy.
6'5", 6'6", however tall he is, man. Do you remember when he dislocated his ankle and kept playing? Yeah.
Do you remember that? He's a warrior. Yeah, I do remember that.
What is the worst place to place to drop you got to fight for your right to party um a sobriety at a um at a at the uh i can't say that at the say any at the icu yeah I see the DUI checkpoint basically anything that has to do with uh you shouldn't be partying after at the end of a depends commercial after a gambling unanimous uh convention I don't fucking know. Gamblers anonymous? Yeah.
I kind of want to say like a funeral, but I kind of also feel like it'd be fucking dope. Oh, you got to celebrate.
Right? That's a great line to drop at a funeral. Depending on how they passed, you know, but you got to celebrate life.
Well, if they pass partying... Might not want to...
Might not want to go too hard. This isn't funny, man.
What's the worst place to drop if you got to fight for your right to party? I don't know. I'm just not getting anything else good off the top of my head.
A chess championship? When you've been drinking all day and you come home without giving any text messages to your wife or heads up and you walk through the door you gotta fight! While Bennett's asleep it's not gonna go over well A divorce hearing? Well I probably would be at a divorce hearing if I did that. All right.
Let's go. All right.
That was fun. That was fun.

They're going to know. There's no way.
There's absolutely no way. Let's see if I can guess.
Whose house would Travis teepee? You wouldn't know. It was one of the Catholic school friends.
One of the guys on the baseball team? Not baseball. Hockey? Not hockey either.
Yeah, then I'm lost. It's all good though.
You hung out with Catholic school guys that weren't on your baseball or hockey team? I mean, friends hang out with friends. I would go hang out with the hockey friends and they would have their Catholic school friends and all that.
Yeah. We'd go up to Cortland Oval, play baseball, football, basketball.
You know it. It's a little Sandlot group.
So it's part of the pickup group that played at Fairfax court lenovo baby right there on fairmount which one's that one i don't remember that one there's you would know it if you saw it it's between uh fairmount and um i mean it's on fairmount between warrensville center road and like uh taylor you would know it if you saw it like like you're going to beachwood but before that? Yeah, exactly. I'm actually surprised you even knew which general direction I was going.
Well, Fairmont's tricky because it curves right around there. It is very straight.
It is very straight. No, no, no.
Once you get past Lee, it does that little curve. Oh, you're talking about going downtown.
Yeah. All right.

All right, now let's get to some football. How about that? All right, let's talk some football.
Let's kick off with travis's game g17 chargers 10 oh yeah how about that two high-powered offenses right there we gotta talk about the game you got any initial thoughts for us i'll tell you what man that stadium is a it's so far is unique yeah so far is so dope and uh i think it's even cooler during the day because you get the the day games you get the sun beaming through kind of like that that plexiglass or whatever that is over the top and it just it really light like brings light into that stadium like no other stadium i've been in or at least no other dome i've ever been in that place is uh that place was fun and it was rocking man they had that was the first like chargers game i had been to in a long time where their like fan base is

starting to really get behind the get the fuck out of here you know there are more chiefs fans

there i swear we i mean chiefs travel but at the same time like chargers games are never that packed

like yeah it's usually dominant whenever we play them it's usually a sea of eagles fans i'm not

yeah and then on top of that it's not like packed to the t it's like that. Whenever we play them, it's usually a sea of Eagles fans.
I'm not going to lie. Yeah, and then on top of that, it's not like packed to the T.
It's like that game was action packed. Yeah, that thing was – I mean, it was rocking.
I enjoyed the atmosphere. Cool.
Obviously, still a lot of things we got to clean up on the offensive side. Defensively, man, we are pretty damn stout right now.
Outside of that first drive for a touchdown and the turnover that led to their field goal, I think that our defense is the best in the league right now. And I just love Spags and everybody on that defensive side that's playing their tail off, both in the run and the pass game.
Huge, huge fourth down stops week in, week out. Teams are just trying to dial up that extra – trying to dial up plays and kind of steal an extra fourth down conversion on us late in the game and keep control of the game and trying to take the lead.
Our defense just keeps coming up big. It happened in the Falcons game.
It happened in the Bengals game. It happened in this game.
And it's just, I mean, I can't say how much I appreciate these guys and how hard they're working throughout the week to be prepared for these kind of things. And, yeah, but on the offensive side of the ball, man, we got to get rolling.
And it's not going to be any easier with seeing Rasheed go down during the game. I just love the way that guy was playing the game of football, how he was attacking every single day in practice.
You know, sometimes you just root so hard for the guys that do it the right way, and Rasheed had been doing that, man. There was a huge dagger to me when I saw him go down, man.
Outside of that, found a way to get the ball in the end zone late, running the hell out of the ball. Our offensive line is our biggest weapon right now.
Those guys up front are fucking paving the way. Tight ends included with Noah Gray, my guy Jay Wiley coming in and wide receivers doing their job in the run game, going in there digging out safeties or just making blocks downfield.
You got to find a way to win ballgames. Sometimes it takes those little things that don't get the highlight all the time.
Wide receivers going in, digging out safeties for an extra four or five yards are just doing enough to get the running back downhill so we can get the first down. And then just running backs running their tailoffs, getting those extra two, three yards on every single run.
And I couldn't be happier for Kareem Hunt to come back and have, you know, such a good game on his first game back in Kansas City, knowing everything that happened to him back in, I think it was 2018. And I just love that guy, man.
Another Northeast Ohio ball player that just loves to play the game and does it right, man. Yeah, absolutely.
It was awesome seeing Kareem back out on the field for you guys. Yeah, it was a great game for you.
You got another one in the win column. I know you guys are still trying to click things offensively at a more efficient level, but, hey, 4-0 is 4-0.
And we did get something going this past week, and that is the Big Yeti. The Big Yeti, obviously, had notably been struggling a little bit through the first three weeks.
Well, he finally gets going. I was struggling in terms of stats.
I was still playing winning football, and that's all that fucking matters. Well, he still led all receivers with seven receptions for 89 yards.
First drive of the game was the big 38-yard reception. Let's check this out.
First drive of the game, 38-yard reception. The Big Yeti catches it over the shoulder.
Beautiful ball by Pat Mahomes. Just throwing dimes.
There we go. Anyways, a lot of noise throughout the week.
Jim Nance had your back on the broadcast all week, hot takes. You got to find someone else to troll this week.
I thought Andy said it best when he said uh i don't give a damn what anybody says essentially what did andy say he definitely said something in the press conference afterwards where it's like yeah all everything else is noise and i said it on here on the podcast last week everything outside of um the building is is just noise big game what is The 80-ness is, what is 89 yards? it's a solid game yeah like a big game is like i score a touchdown or something if you don't go over the 100 yard mark it's not a big game for the beginning just being honest i'm not yeah i mean i was accountable this game i didn't have any drops which was you know what happened in atlanta to make me feel like i had a bad game but i i still didn't have an outstanding game. There's a lot that goes into having a great game.
But I did have seven catches, which is a lot of times you get the rock, and I got north with them. So it is what it is.
Helped my team find a way to win. And that is all that will ever matter.
For those of you that don't know, Pat Mahomes is 13-12. In games, he's trailed by 10 or more points.
That's right. What? The only quarterback with a winning record in such situations since at least 1950.
Who the fuck was doing it back in 1950? Who's the old gunslinger finding a way to make these comebacks after back when they were running the wishbone? I didn't even know they had quarterbacks in 1950. He's also 12-0 the last 12 times.
No, no, no, no, no. Okay, yeah, sorry.
Yep. He's a baseball player.
Everybody knows baseball players are superstitious. You can't talk about it.
You can't talk about it. Okay, sorry.
My fault, my fault. Keep moving, keep moving, keep moving.
Early in the game, was she rice? Oh,, man, unfortunately injured on an interception return,

a little friendly fire.

I hate when that happens.

The rest of the receivers did step up in Rasheed's absence for the game.

The most electric play of the game came in the second quarter.

Pat connects with Xavier Worthy, the rookie, on a 54-yard touchdown.

It was now 10-7 going into the half, per NextGenStats.

Pat's 54-yard pass to Xavier Worthy

that we're going to show you right here,

traveled 62.2 yards in the air.

That's right.

Mahomes' longest completion

by air distance of his career.

I didn't know that.

I would have thought he would have thrown

one that far to Tyree.

Nice little throwback.

For those of you that don't know what that is,

it's when you act like you're naketing out,

you pull up and throw back

the direction of which you came

because a lot of times on the nakeds or boot action everybody kind of flows in the direction the quarterback's rolling out to so these have been kind of hot this year it feels like the throwbacks have been on everybody's radar yeah i think we uh we had been running the ball so well these first couple weeks.

I think the safety started getting a little bit more eyes in the backfield.

And I'll tell you what, man, you take your eyes off of Xavier Worthy, man. That guy is going to be past you in a blink of an eye.

You ain't lying.

Yeah.

And he was absolutely flying on this one, running at a top speed of 21.46 miles per hour,

which is, that'll get you to take it in school zone. I was about to say the same thing.
That'll get you a speeding ticket. That'll get you pulled over.
Third fastest play by a ball carrier this season. I think we saw one last night on Monday night countdown where Derek Henry was fucking rolling, going, I think closer to 22 miles per hour which is fucking mind-blowing that a man that big can get moving that fucking fast.
Oh, my goodness. X was flying on that one, came up big later on in the game to seal the game off on the final drive, knowing that we were trying to run the clock out there.
Just can't say enough about what he's been for this offense so far. And just to see him keep growing in it, you know, becoming more and more accountable every single week.
Seems like the rookie's finding more and more of his place within the offense. Obviously, Rice going down, he's being thrust into more plays that he was probably getting ready to perform in the game.
But he sure answered the bell. Happy for him, man.
And a few guys stepped up in Pacheco's absence as well. Kareem Hunt back in the KC uniform and had 69 yards on 14 carries.
Nice day for Kareem. And running back Samajay Piran came up big with a game-winning touchdown.
That's right in the fourth quarter. It was also his first touchdown as a Kansas City Chief.
Hey, winner and your first touchdown shout out to samajay man if you watch this clip man you'll see my guy uh trey smith just absolutely bulldoze everybody because it comes it it becomes a bit of like a a cloud of dust there for a second down there at the goal line and then you just see six five just come in it just bulldoze just zamboni drive uh samajay into the end zone there giving that extra push all righty chris jones of the defense another week another dominating performance by the chiefs defense who held the charges to 10 points and didn't allow a single point in the last 48 minutes 53 seconds of the game the defense The defense finished with five tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, and two sacks, both coming from none other than Stone Cold Jones. He didn't need to steal it this week.
He got him on his own. That's right.
Stone Cold Jones' biggest play of the game came with four minutes left in the game. Third down, sacks Justin Herbert, forcing the Chargers to punt.
3.26 play i think i remember seeing this he got it was he at end on that one i think so man he that's the thing about this defense man you got so many guys that can rush the quarterback in so many different ways they can get a guy that plays typically plays the end he can get inside and make moves on a on a guard and a guy like ch like Chris Jones, he can literally hurt you anywhere on the field when he's rushing the quarterback. And sometimes getting the big man outside and giving him just the edge to rush is a tackle's worst nightmare, man.
You guys did this a bunch, and you brought both of them. This is what I like.
So you guys brought – so we call it flash in the game. I saw it brought multiple times, which is what we used to call the will and the free safety would blitz.
And you'd be a fire zone typically, and you would rush five. That's like the conventional way of running like a wham blitz with the free safety and the will.
Away from the passing shift. For everybody that doesn't, a fire zone blitz is when you blitz five guys

and you play zone coverage on the back end with six.

Yeah.

Usually it's 3-3 under.

Actually, that's probably conventionally.

Now everybody's doing it and running palms behind it with quarters.

You're protecting the deeper throw and forcing the quarterback to have to think quick on his feet on where he needs to go with the ball underneath. Meaning instead of the deeper routes, you throw it to the shorter routes.
And the reason that that one is getting tricky is like, because of what they do right here, they actually only brought four. So they make it look like it's going to be that same five guys rushing, but really they're only going to rush four and play like a conventional coverage behind it.
So Herbert gets caught. You can tell like he thinks it's there.
It's tough. Also, the running back does a terrible job.
That's who got Chris the sack. The running back missing that blitzer.
Guys are hitting it though, man. This is what happens.
They mug the guys up and they come. So then the running back's like, I got to be firm in that gap.
Then all of a sudden, they drop, and the safeties blitz in on the other side. And they are flying.
And you're late to that one. Our guys, when they hit it now.
They're Xavier Worthy in it, 21 miles an hour. Their speed.
You ain't lying. Guys are flying in there.
Either way, Chris Jones gets a big sack towards the end of the game. It doesn't seem like anybody can block him.

I'm not just saying this because Chris has been good for a while.

Dare I say, he might be the most impressive I've ever seen him right now

through the first four weeks.

He just feels like any time he's one-on-one, he's winning.

I don't know.

It's been impressive.

Yeah, especially if you're not getting the ball out on time.

That's for damn sure.

Chris is just on the hunt, man. Yeah.
The CEO of SAC Nation, baby. Come on now.
It's Stone Cold Jones. Don't do that voice.
Sorry. Well, our guys over at Waves got us some LeBron stats of the game.
Sunday's game was the first time a reigning college national championship winning coach faced off against the reigning super bowl winning coach how about that jim behar ball was the uh national champion at michigan last year um and is uh the charger's sixth head coach since uh since i've been in the league which is crazy and to be honest he brought some of his staff from Michigan, which is a smart move. I mean, you're comfortable with your guys, and their defensive coordinator is a coach of mine and Jason's, actually.
That's right. Actually, his father, actually, Jesse's dad was a coach with me in Philadelphia, Rick.
Rick rick and rick was the he was the head coach of cincinnati before we got there with mark d'antonio yeah anyways go ahead sorry no so jesse mentor and i got to say what's up to him on the field so when we were at cincinnati this is how this is how you know we're getting fucking on i say we're seriously what's the guys that were yeah go ahead so ga's are – the graduate assistants at colleges are typically the guys that – they do a lot of the – I don't want to say dirty work because that makes it seem like it's not a great job. I mean, that's what it is.
They're doing all the work. You're doing a lot of work.
You're putting Excel sheets together. You're putting all the film together.
You're basically doing all the tedious stuff so the the offensive and defensive coordinators can be a little bit more focused on the bigger things right well they want to focus on the tape and they want to focus on the game planning so the the gas end up doing like basically making all of the the scout team cards they end up inputting a lot of the data into the computers like all of the backlogging of everything the GAs are kind of in charge of yeah all the organizational stuff yeah and it's uh it's really it's a big piece in the in the grand scheme of things uh when it comes down to it and Jesse was one of my favorite uh I should call him coach menner now that he's a defensive coordinator in the in the NFL but no he's Jesse does he not our coach he's jesse he was literally holding up the uh the scout team cards as i was a scout team quarterback my freshman year that's funny which is hilarious because now he's game planning against me in the national football league 15 years later and um yeah it's uh it's it was awesome to see though man and to be honest that dude i mean he shit figured out. Yeah, he's killing it.
I mean, I was talking to Pat, and there was one time in the game where it was a big third down, I think, and he put together a blitz that we had not seen before on tape and got us pretty good there. But, yeah, shout out to Jesse.
He's absolutely killing it. Coach Minter couldn't be more proud to say that I was once your scout team quarterback.
And, yeah, shout out to Mike Elson. I was about to say Coach Elson's on the staff, too.
So that was actually halfway through my redshirt freshman year, I started working with the tight ends to be more in tune with the offense. And they wanted to get me on the field and some of the uptempo stuff.
Coach Kelly wanted to get me on the field and some of the uptempo stuff, blah, blah, blah. Coach Elson was technically my first ever tight end coach that I ever had.
And, uh, I'll tell you what, he had a fun room. He was also the special teams coach, and we had a blast talking about a lot of the special teams guys,

like Christian McCafferty.

Oh, my, Colin McCafferty.

Colin McCafferty.

Sorry, like Colin McCafferty.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was cool to see him, and I couldn't be happier for those guys,

not only getting the national championship this year,

but doing a great job in L.A. with the Chargers this year, man.

So it was pretty cool playing against that coaching staff,

and I got all the respect in the world for Coach Harbaugh as well. Did you talk to Jesse after the game? Yeah, I went up to him and said, what's up to him, man? I said, how about us, huh? 15 years later, look at us.
Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Me fucking up your cards in fucking... Hey, Travis, do this.

Even if you know you'll get yelled at or get your ass kicked for it. Got me the scout team player of the year.
Defensive player of the year. Atta boy.
We went to Hawaii that year, and I was a part of the scout team that got invited to Hawaii. There you go.
Got me on the plane, maybe. Is this a LeBron stat? Travis officially passes legendary tight end tony gonzalez to become chiefs all-time leader in receptions when he caught his 917th career reception i have uh news to say this is not a lebron stat that is an all-time stat it's yeah it's a pretty pretty legit stat considering who held the stat previously yeah and what he's meant to the game of

football in the tight end position uh this is a milestone stat and congratulations trav i know you're a humble guy but that is incredible uh to see to be honest with you when we were watching tony do it i don't think anybody felt and i still feel like most of his records aren't gonna be broken like untouched it's so freaking crazy when you look at his career stats but to even touch something that he did with the chiefs is mind-blowing in itself it's crazy how it all comes full circle man yeah not only being in conversations with tony but being at the top of the leaderboard with the kansas city chiefs who have been around since the 60s have been such an unbelievable organization in the National Football League. One of the beginning organizations that made it all the way through that are still at their peak.
And I love Kansas City and the Chiefs and the opportunity that I've had here in KC. And a lot of that is due to the rich history that they And, and a guy like Tony Gonzalez, who has been a mentor to me is he's been right there, a lifeline, if I ever needed it.
I fucking love the guy. He's he's motivated me in ways that he doesn't even know.
And I, I just, I've tried my entire career to match what he was to this organization, what he was to this to this game of football and to be in conversations. Not to say that I am as good as Tony, not to say that I've surpassed Tony, to be in a conversation as as cool as this, having as many receptions in the in the organization that he spent the majority of his career in, it's just an honor, man.
And Tony, I love your brother. And I can't thank you enough for who you are as a person and who you've been in my career.
And I've taken everything you've learned, you've taught me, and I've ran with it, man. And I've tried to become better because of it.
And yeah, just love that guy, man. It's an honor.
Next week, the Chiefs are playing the Saints on Monday Night Football. What? Oh, yeah, baby.
How about that? I'm coming to town, Trav. You are? Coming to KC.
Nice. You guys won't be in Bristol for this one? No, it's only one Monday Night game.

The doubleheaders were in Bristol. The single games were on site.
Yeah, the Chiefs have played the Saints twice before during Travis's career. 2016, Chiefs win 27-21.
2020 at the Superdome. The Chiefs win 32-29.
We'll see how this one goes. Saints look good the first couple weeks.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
For the second week in a row, Jason's shoes stole the spotlight on Monday Night Countdown. Why is everyone obsessed with my footwear? Because Jason doesn't dress up.
Jason dresses as. That's why.
What am I dressed as here? I'm just wearing fucking boots. I didn't even know I was going to gonna be showing on television i don't know you're dressed as jason kelsey i guess uh you had to kick your feet up onto the desk to show the world the tims my dog wore some butters on monday night countdown don't get it twisted man everybody knew if you lace those things up at heights you were getting fucking smoked you were getting clowned as soon as you walked through the door i have since learned that you can't lace up your butters you just got to be willing to get fucking smoked it was actually a present that you got your legs up there those must be some stretchy jeans uh these were not zero stretch nice well you're just a powerful you just a powerful man those are good old wranglers we also got this shot of you.
And I need you to explain exactly what was going on. Your first ever words spoken on ESPN Monday Night Countdown had tits in it.
And now you are showing your tits, essentially, on this feature. It's true.
Yeah. So, hold on.
Let me. You're very tan tits.
Yeah. Somebody asked me what complexion this was.
I was like, I don't know, guys. I'm just.
He used a bronzer. We were doing a segment on Hutch Island talking about how.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Hutch. Yeah.
They find out how to get Hutch one-on-ones and build them into overload fronts and different. Put them wide so that you can't really chip them.
And the guard has trouble getting out to help. So we were doing the island vibe.
So Marcus Spears had Mai Tais made. He had hats and sunglasses.
And then this shirt, I don't know whose idea this shirt was, but it was handed to me and I was just showing off my new shirt. Nice.
That makes sense. I honestly didn't even know what it was when I was holding it up until it was like already at that point and then i looked down i was like oh okay all right nice perfect the hat and glasses really made it a full get up so you were in the floaty dressed as hutch island yeah so fits right in i love the jacket i thought this was one of the most entertaining uh you know uh pre-game countdowns that you guys had done to date you guys spoke about spoke about uh even tua and the concussion stuff that he had been going through and how how is he gonna have to weigh that it was such an educated conversation between the three of you guys and svp i just really love everybody's input everybody has a very different view view of things.
And you guys are just, I just love the, I don't know, the camaraderie you guys got up there, man. It's cool.
It's fun to watch. I appreciate that.
We're getting better and better. You know, I think it's, you know, we're on our fourth time doing it together, which is crazy that, you know, we're doing this every single week live and you're still figuring out how it all works together.
But it's been helpful to me to be on there with guys that have been doing it at a high level for so long. You know what I mean? And know what they're doing.
I can lean on Ryan. I can lean on Swag.
I can lean on Scott. They're the veterans right now.
I'm the freaking scout team player of the year. Ooh, nice, nice.
Go ahead and fucking spear your starting left tackle. Yeah, dude.
I got to get Ryan's, I got to get RC's fucking suit connect, man. Those suits are looking fucking sharp.
Dude, it's ridiculous. I don't even know what it is.
They're looking sharp. Only a special guy can make that exact suit, so I got to get his connect.
But what is that style called that he's wearing? You're going to have to ask RC, man. I honestly know but it looks smooth it looks smooth the lapel is very different it is it was clean very clean all right let's talk about the rest of the storylines coming out of the nfl from week four we're gonna start with eagles go down in tampa do we have to talk about this we got to talk about this oh yeah we're definitely talking about this we're half eagles, half Chiefs, man.
So Bucs 33, Eagles 16.

Jason, go ahead and tell us your initial thoughts.

I never go into a game not expecting the Birds to win.

I always, for some reason, and still going into a game,

think the Birds are going to perform well and win the game.

That being said, I was nervous going into this game,

and I was nervous because we were missing A.J. Brown and Devontae Smith, I was nervous going into this game and I was nervous

because we were missing A.J. Brown and Devontae Smith and we're going up against a coordinator in Todd Bowles who, when you are missing key players, can take away certain parts of the game if you're one-dimensional.
That being said, I was not anticipating us playing so bad on both sides of the football that early.

Like we had two, and outs, and before we blinked, it was 21-0 in the first half. You know, I think they both sides just really struggled to start the game.
Offensively, there were some drops. The runs that we called didn't really work, and we got sacked on one of them, and it's just like we got off to a really slow start.

And then defensively, I just partially credit to Tampa Bay

for really seeing stuff on film and taking advantage of some of the soft coverages

that I think we had been playing.

And right off the get-go, you just saw Baker ripping the ball into the flat. We had a missed tackle early from my guy, Avante.
And it just felt like we were giving them a lot of yardage. And then after that, it just was like a cascading event.
Like we couldn't stop the run. It felt like we were nervous to go and attack guys.
And then it felt like they were just hitting the ball in behind. It just felt like they could they could do whatever they want.
It was, and I think they set it up right from the get-go.

They knew that that was there and they hit that and they're like, no, you're going to

have to defend this area.

And it felt like we just struggled from there.

And part of it's like, listen, Baker played out of his mind.

He is playing great fucking football.

Like, dude, he's playing lights out this year.

I know he struggled against Denver last week, but it turns out it looks like Denver is pretty

damn good.

Thank you. Playing great fucking football.
Like, dude, he's playing lights out this year. I know he struggled against Denver last week, but it turns out it looks like Denver's pretty damn good on defense.
But, I mean, Baker, it just felt like, especially to start the game, he couldn't miss. He was throwing the ball perfectly.
My man slays right on the receiver on like a post route, and he just puts it in the perfect spot for a touchdown. He't the dealer baker was the freaking pit boss like he was controlling the entire thing it was impressive to watch to be honest with you yeah but yeah we got to play better defensively i mean there's no mistake like we got to play better on both sides i don't want to like single out the defensive side yeah offensively there were obviously guys missing so it's kind of easier to understand why they struggled defensively we got to get that figured out offensively we at least got to do better than we did we had zero yard i forget what the stat line was at one point it was like zero yards to like 250 like it was something outrageous at one point in the first half the bucks had 255 total yards of offense while the eagles had zero i mean brother i don't think i've ever even heard of that but it happened so fast like we did we had this is what it was we had three three and outs and before we knew it like it was like that it was an insane start to the game i mean the most one-sided start to a game i've seen in a long time i mean you want to talk about an insane stat i'm like it's like becoming more like in my head the more i think about it like Like, what the fuck? You guys went down 24-0 in the middle of the second quarter, and we're never able to really get back.
But you know how it is. Here's the reality.
If you're missing A.J. Brown and Devontae Smith, you better be good on first and second down.
And on first and second down, we had drops. The runs didn't really hit because Todd was bringing corner cat because he didn't – like, you're bringing a corner cat into the run and the safety's coming down.
Like, it's going to be hard to run the ball into that look. Yeah.
Like, the runs weren't working. The passes we did call, like, we had a couple drops.
We ran a screen that I think got dropped or didn't work. We got sacked.
You can't be in third and long. You can't be in third and long against a team like that without your best two players.
It's just going to be dang near impossible. Tough sledding.
They were playing cover one. They're doing pick stunts with the running backs guy.
Like, good luck passing off that stunt. I know everybody in Philadelphia is frustrated.
I was frustrated watching it. I damn sure know the guys out there were frustrated and pissed.
Yep. And one of their biggest leaders, Brandon Graham, actually called a team meeting on the sideline.
And I mean, we don't got to talk about it. Everybody knows BG is the heart of that team.
He's a hard and so he's a guy that's been there for fucking years. BG is still playing at a very high level.

Hell yeah, he is. He shouldn't even be playing the amount of snaps he's playing

with where he's at in his career probably.

He's doing anything he fucking can to get this team to win.

Yeah, he has to, and he knows that.

It's early.

It's four weeks into the year.

I still think they have talent to improve things.

They have fucking talent.

Hell yeah, they fucking have talent. I still think they have a talent to improve things.
Vic's been in this league for a long time. He's going to be on these guys to get these things figured out.
I know Nick is going to be on both sides of the ball. And, you know, I know everybody's on Jalen.
Obviously, Jalen didn't play well. It doesn't sound like anybody really played that great.
That's what i'm saying i don't want to single out him the offense struggled and the offense struggled a lot because of the guys that were out and because they weren't like when they were good on first second down they had a couple good drives but like once they got into those long situations like it's it's just going to be hard if you't have the horses yes it is about aj and davante being like physical freaks of nature and great receivers it's also just about like chemistry and timing and having reps with guys like that's what it's we just got johan dotson like he has only been here for like a few weeks yeah so like it's just frustrating to watch and it's it's it to execute in those situations there's no magic formula to to fix it other than you just got to go to fucking work and be willing to to be your own worst critic yeah to not make it a single fucking excuse and you know just go out there and find a way and have a mentality together find a way to have everybody on the same fucking page that you guys are going to get this thing done i think this is going to be a motivating tool for for the guys in that building because everybody gives a fuck you know there's not there's not too many non-competitors in that building so i expect everybody to to figure it out man so shout out to the birds but uh the lebron stat of the game jalen hurts has 43 career regular season rushing touchdowns tied with steve young for the third most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in nfl history only cam newton 75 holy shit and josh allen have more josh allen already has more oh my god i think i actually remember hearing that he fucking surpassed him last week or two weeks ago. Week five.
Next week, the Eagles are on a bye. Then they come back week six at home versus the Browns.
How about that? You hate to go into a bye after a game like that, but who knows? Maybe it'll be a nice little fresh start for everybody to come back motivated and ready to fucking rock. The Eagles' next four games are against teams with a combined 3-13 record.
Yeah, don't sleep on that. Which absolutely means nothing.
Do not sleep on that. The Bengals.
Absolutely means nothing. The Bengals are the fucking Bengals.
The Bengals have been in every game that they've been in. They've been damn near winning them.
The Jags. The Jags have some guys.
They had the rough game against Buffalo that I saw on Monday night. I expected them to put up a better performance, and they put a goose egg up on me.
But they've been close. They should have won.
I mean, CJ got it done at the end of the game, but they were right there against Houston last week. The Giants, they're not great, but they're in all these games.
I don't know if we even have the Giants-Cowboys Thursday night. That was the weirdest freaking division game I've ever seen watching.
It was like neither team really like fighting to win did you feel that way did you watch it I watched it but I was more interested in the pregame and and halftime talk really just because I love those guys you love uh big wit and in Fitzy and all those guys Tony you know yeah Carissa they're outside of you guys they're my favorite yeah they're fantastic but I like it just felt like nobody was like taking the game it just felt like both teams were like kind of playing conservative and just hoping the other team messed up yeah and then like nobody messed up so it was just like this weird game where like nobody played good or bad i don't know it's very it was very strange yeah it was eerie uh the browns game yeah the browns are playing bad right now but they got jim schwartz honestly they were a call here and there away from winning last week against the raiders all righty week four roundup let's talk about all the big headlines from the rest of the league three undefeated teams lost this week there's only two undefeated teams left i think you know one of them the other one that is still undefeated are the minnesota vikings the three undefeated teams that lost this week are the steelers se Seahawks, and Bills. I mean, we got to talk about the Bills-Ravens game.
I did not see the Bills struggling this much. I mean, the Ravens are a tough matchup for them.
I think they're a tough matchup for anybody if freaking Derrick Henry's rushing like that. The big man, the King himself had 199 yards rushing, one rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown.
Don't see that every day from the big man. One of those touchdowns came off of an 87-yard run in which he reached over 21 miles an hour.
That's right. He was speeding in the school zone.
The Ravens won this game 35-10 against a Buffalo Bills team that looked pretty much unbeatable the week before against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was an amazing show of feet by the Ravens, who seemed to be finally figuring out this new piece they got at running back with Derrick Henry combined with Lamar Jackson and the rest of the other fast guys they got on the perimeter.
It feels like they do so much misdirection, but still manage to play with insane speed. Tough football, yeah.
The last undefeated team that took their L was the Steelers. Yep, the mighty, mighty Steelers.
That defense has been so good, but they struggled early against the Indianapolis Colts, getting out to a slow start. The Colts, they start out 14 or 17-0.
I can't remember whether it was a 17-0 lead or a 14-0. I couldn't tell you.
All I know is that Joe Flacco came in there at 39 years old and played his tail off again. He did.
Anthony Richardson was playing pretty well, too. He got him the first touchdown and then worked him down in the red zone.
Flacco finished that one off to make it 14, and then Joe did the rest. I will say Fields and the steelers and company once they figured it out were humming but it was a little bit too uh little too late yeah still it's still a good football team though steelers a good football team so the colts colts got a really good defense and it's been that way i don't know what uh anthony richardson's injury status is but uh joe flacco has proven that he is still an unbelievable quarterback,

especially after last season's Browns end of the season that he finished off

with that playoff run.

After the game, Flacco was told by a reporter that Anthony Richardson

thought he was cooler than he expected him to be.

And Flacco's response was, Anthony Richardson's mom is eight days older

than I am, so there's no chance in the world he thinks I'm cool.

And I'm here to say Flacco comments like that are exactly why anthony richardson thinks you're cool three rookie quarterbacks led their teams to wins in week four um i don't know that you would call bo nicks his week an outstanding week from him 10 to 9 is a wild ass fucking nfl game jets jake We got to jets jake in i'm pretty sure he had 60 yards of offense or something like that think about this before that at halftime i think he had negative seven yards dude on seven on six receptions or some shit like that i don't think i've ever seen that many receptions and somebody have negative yards i'm not calling Bo Nix bad or anything like that. I'm just saying that is a wild stat to fucking look at at halftime.
We can go into another wild stat here, and that is the rookie phenom. That's right.
Phenom Jaden Daniels. This dude is unbelievable, man.
He is fun to watch. The stat in particular that everyone seems to be bringing up is the 82.1% completion.
That's through four games, ladies and gentlemen. It's the number one all time through four games.
It might be a LeBron stat, but that is a damn good LeBron stat. That's fucking, there's one you can hang your hat on.
That's the one right there. And it's, what's been unique is the first game for sure, it was all dinking and dunk and the ball was out quick and he's still getting that ball out quick he's got a quick trigger yeah but now you're seeing and part of it might be defenses have seen that and they're it's forced them to defend reacting to it yeah you're seeing him take the shots down the field you're seeing him make the big throws uh to mcclure and yeah i was gonna say receiver's credit, they're making these fucking plays, man.
They are making big-time plays. Zach Ertz, baby.
Zach Ertz. Out there making fucking plays, baby.
I was just talking to my boy. Listen, they are having fun right now.
These last two weeks have been a coming-out party for this offense. Cliff Kingsbury has them rolling.
Jaden Daniels, man, I don't know if he's going to be the next CJ Stroud, the next Pat Mahomes, but there's something I like about it. Jaden Daniels, man.
There's something I like about watching it. There's a poise.
There's a personality. Personality, man.
There's an excitement. He's confident.
Man, I love watching him play. You used one of my favorite words on Monday Night countdown his moxie yeah fucking moxie he's just got it what does andy call it i don't know doesn't he call it like vibrato or what's uh uh oh my gosh vibrato he's he says it instead of swagger he uses another term and it's like an old school term or he did in philly i have no idea i've never heard him say any of those words either way though man the guy he's got the moxie man and the uh he's got the bull by the horns over there cliff kingsbury dialing the shit up against his former team yeah you could tell they were they were taking some good shots i'm happy as hell for my my two guys man i missed the hell out of these two guys nicky allegretti and andrewiley, two of my favorite teammates of all time.
And you heard Andrew say he's having one of the most fun years of his life playing for that team. And sometimes the excitement, and that's not to take away from anything that we did here in KC, the excitement of everybody not necessarily counting you in, maybe not counting you out, but not counting you in and to be able to date week in week out you know i don't know answer that test and and and do it in a way that they're doing it man it looks like they're having fucking fun over there in washington right now hitting on all cylinders man and i just could i couldn't be happier for those two guys for sure and on top of that cliff kingsbury who i uh who i know through old patty mahomes man yeah jaden Daniels is taking the NFL by storm right now.
And hopefully we get to keep watching that because it's exciting to watch, especially when a young guy and a team are dominating like that. Oh, yeah.
And the last rookie quarterback to get a win column this week was Caleb Williams, where Da Bears got their second win of the season. He clearly played his best game so far.
Hopefully he can keep on getting that thing moving over there in Chicago. I think everybody's ready for a Chicago Bears football team to be damn good.
No fun league. This week we saw another flag for a celebration that really put the no fun league into perspective.
Jets wide receiver Alan Lazard celebrated a 12-yard reception for first down with finger guns.

Pew, pew, pew, pew.

I know we don't want this to be like, oh, NFL players shooting guns.

I get that.

But this is so subtle.

Unless you're doing it at a defender, it shouldn't be a flag.

If you want to find the guy after the game for doing it all whatever that's up to the nfl for wanting to protect their league but i i think it is absolutely ridiculous that a guy is on the ground shooting pointing fingers for getting a first down saying we're going that way or you know whatever he might be doing i just think it's too much man it's too much and it's affecting the it's affecting the game in the wrong way i get the guy's got to play by the rules and stuff like that but i just i i don't want to get the nfl on my ass for saying something but i just think this is too far no you're right it's my second amendment i have the right to bear arms you don't have the right to shoot at people though which is why they should make it taunting if you direct it at a player an official a fan like if it directed at somebody like if it is done to like do anything to a person i agree it should be taunting but if you're just doing it like i'm shooting guns up in the sky what the hell are we doing how is that taunting if the league doesn't want to just find them afterwards don't make it a part of the game where it like affects the team i think it's a little too much for that they've done this to like overcompensate like people pointing it at people and like or like to be like i don't know it's stupid it's It's dumb that this cost them 15 yards. There was nothing about this that was remotely violent.
It was playful. Look at him.
He's probably making pew, pew, pew sounds as he does it. Pew, pew, pew.
Pew, pew, pew, pew. What is that? What is that? Kevin Hart? Yeah.
Earlier this season, Bengals wide receiver Andre Yoshivas was also fine for a bow and arrow.

Yeah, we talked about this one already.

Listen, Trav, you've been the king of bow and arrows.

I don't do it during the game.

I think it's the same thing.

Well, you have done it before.

You don't do it anymore during the game.

No.

I've seen you do it as a celebration before when it wasn't a penalty, Yeah. Right? I think it was like 2016 or something like that that made a flag.
I always thought that was bogus, but I haven't done it in the field of play during the game. I've done it as I come out of the tunnel and stuff.
Does it feel like the league is cracking down on celebrations? No. They've kind of already had these rules.
I mean, the weaponry rule rule has been in place since what like 2016 or something like that or 2019 whenever it went into place it's not a new rule it's just like people are seeing them and seeing how absurd it is uh especially when it's not like there was a guy that did like a full-on ak-47 at a guy like that one i get let's not let a guy ak-47 another player but like little pew pews or like a bow and arrow up in the sky that aren't directed to people i think we can let that slide like what happens if you do a slingshot is a slingshot allowed i don't know i might try it i might try that one see if i get fucking 15 yard penalty what about you can you can still do a sword you can come out and do like a little. Azorro.
Yeah, that's allowed, right? Azorro. What kind of weapons aren't allowed, NFL? I know.
Anything can be a weapon. I had to appeal a fine for giving a teammate of mine a Stone Cold Stunner.
Did the teammate submit a complaint to HR? No, it was just after a touchdown and the NFL saw it and said it was a violent act. But the teammate was in on it? Yeah.
I'll tell you what. I stone-cold stunnered a friend in a bar, and he was not in on it, and he was upset about it.
I thought it was like a lecture. You are fucking ridiculous, though.
You will break somebody's fucking back, stunnering somebody. There's no in-between.
You either go full throttle. Listen, I'm going straight kick to the nuts, getting hunched over, exposed for breaking this guy's neck.
What an electric move. Shout out to the Stonehold Stunner himself.
Steve Austin, the rattlesnake. What's another weapon that we could toe the line with here? What's a – I think slingshot and sword.
I think slingshot and sword are pretty good. Could you set up like a catapult system and catapult the football into the crowd?

No, I don't think that'll hit.

I mean, if it goes into the crowd, it's probably going to be.

What's another?

Nunchucks?

Nunchucks would be pretty funny.

Could you act like you put your head in a guillotine and just decapitate it?

Oh, my gosh.

That's crazy. Throwing star? I don't think people would get the gist throw it nunchucks could you do little michelangelo michelangelo you didn't go bruce lee you went michelangelo i'm all teenage mutant ninja turtles baby i'm going who's this bruce lee cat you wore him on your shirt one i love bruce lee i'm just fucking but i don't bruce lee i don't think of nucks.
I think of Michelangelo when I think of nunchucks. When I think of nunchucks, I think of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks.
He played Bruce. I don't remember that clip.
That's awesome. I think it's CGI, but.
It probably is. Who cares? They had CGI back then? No.
That's why it makes it even more like kind of like, really? All right. Let's get out of it.
What if you did a poisoned chalicealice you took a drink from the poisoned chalice i think we're just i think we're i think we're done with this oh blow dart ace ventura spear that was javelin it wasn't spear it was javelin and now for a new addition to round up the week we got coach Coach Quote of the Week. I've been waiting to do this ever since I sat down with Nick Saban at an ESPN event.
Sometimes coaches just say it best. Trav, hit me.
During the post-game press conference, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris was asked about tight end Kyle Pitts not getting any catches in the game this week. And Morris responded, it was just about going out there and winning the game.
Stats are for losers, man. I don't get involved in that stuff.
Are stats officially for losers? I don't think they're for losers. I think when you're getting good stats, you're helping your team win.
And when you do it at a consistent level and you're scoring touchdowns and you're winning football games, they do matter. But I hear what he's saying, though.
And it's a part of my philosophy and not being upset that I'm not getting Buku stats this year is that it's about winning the football game. And he's focused on wins and losses and uh speaking of stats uh we got a pretty crazy one from the from that game falcons beat the saints uh 26 24 on sunday and the saints became the first team to score at least 24 points allow no offensive touchdowns and lose in 40 years allow no defensive touchdowns Allow no offensive touchdowns.
and lose in 40 years. Allow no defensive touchdowns?

Allow no offensive touchdowns.

Oh, like no pick sixes or anything?

No offense. What does that mean?

They didn't allow the other team to score a touchdown.

How'd they get all their points?

A defensive touchdown, maybe special teams, field goals.

Field goals?

Yeah.

That is fucking outrageous.

Isn't that crazy? Listen, this is my viewpoint on stats talk to me stats are numbers what i care about is the football where does it go does it go in the end zone do we get points points are also numbers but points determine games and wins and losses stats are numbers numbers arebers are nerds. Nerds are losers.
Therefore, stats are losers. If you care enough about stats for it to change your day, I think that's when you don't have a winning mentality.
So I get what Coach Morris is saying, but at the same time, if you're putting the ball in the end zone, you're going to get stats. It is what it is.
Yeah, counting the stats you're just counting the points you're not counting the stats all we care about is visually does that ball go into that territory right there we get points does that ball go through those uprights when we're on defense does the ball go that way or does it stay where it's at that's all i care about that's all i care about the numbers you're right but at the same time numbers are for the analytics people when you get the ball in the pencil putchers when you're getting the ball the zit faces when you're getting the ball in the end zone you're getting the stats and the four eyes it is what it is i will say this kyle pitts is a fucking unbelievable athlete great football player i think trying to get the ball in his hands is a pretty good pretty good good plan for the, for the Falcons. Yeah.
And I'll say, they should probably get his stats up because he's a really good weapon to utilize. That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying. And he's one of their better, you know, he's just, he's an unbelievable like athlete out there on the field.
I think he has a lot of mismatches. Maybe if Kyle Pitts has some catches, they actually do score an offensive touchdown.
That's another way to look at it. See? There we go.
Before we get out of here, let's wrap up the show with no dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions. 92% is just dumbass people answering them.
Hey! No dumb questions is brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. Oh my gosh.
We are an American Express ad now. How about that? This is the coolest shit ever.
Name your favorite American Express ad. My favorite American Express ad? Yeah, your favorite commercial ever recorded.
Don't leave home without it like the old school one. Don't steal home without it.
Come on. It's right there, Jason.
That's not my favorite one, but that is a good one. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes.
It's from Major League. Yes.
And it is a great one. Oh, that one's fucking classic.
Gosh, why can't I think of his name right now? Wesley Snipes. Yeah, but what's his name in the movie? Willie Mays Hayes.
Willie Mays Hayes. Gets like Mays, hit like Hayes.
It's not a real one but it is a great one oh it's so good actually was it real did american express pay money to be in that movie that's what i'm saying yes american express yeah it's back when it might have been back when you didn't have to fucking yeah i don't know how that works all i know is that uh this is classic but either way all right shout out to american express what is a favorite piece of football sports memorabilia that you guys own i can't tell you exactly what i own because then i somebody would rob my house for it but i got some good shit i got some good shit and i'm very proud of it one of the coolest items that i have that i've actually i've had right right here on my desk since Jason got it for me.

Don't say that one. Don't say that one.
Is a Babe Ruth, Baby Ruth, grade nine,

which is out of 10. It's a pretty goddamn good grade.
Yeah. It's got a Babe Ruth signature

baseball right here from back in the day. And it looks like it's got a few other people on it too,

but I'm not going to's henry williams golly this is uh this is pretty fucking good who's that on the bottom bob feller who's bob feller legendary cleveland indian baby oh yeah i mean this is the coolest thing that i've ever gotten from jason for sure um see if I can go. Not a lot of competition there.
Yeah, I might go play catch with it or something. Play a sandlot baseball with it.
Pick a baseball with the dog. What is it about a baseball? Signed baseball is the best.
It's our childhood, man. I don't know why.
It's just like ingrained in my head. Did you ever get anybody to sign a baseball when you were younger like the satisfaction i went and waited in the cleveland indians parking lot i mean we did that after every fucking game i but one time i believe i did get a kenny lofton autograph on the third baseline i was sitting there with i i think i'm remembering this right because the sailors had third base season tickets and i got to go with them one time and they would come right by his section every warm-up and he would like sign some autographs shout out to kenny lofton man i've been fortunate enough to say what's up to him and and be cool with him and he's just been the absolute best knowing that we were were 90s Cleveland kids and just thought the fucking world and still do, man.
But, Kenny, I still got to come out and play some golf with you. Jason will probably join now that he's a golfer.
So we'll have to put a round together. I did the exact same thing.
I got Kenny Lofton and David Justice at a 1997 MLB All-Star game.star game you got them at that game yeah dad took me down there i remember when you got to go down with dad we had two tickets you guys had fun that was great yeah you went the year before not the all-star game we never there wasn't like an all-star game every year in cleveland travis you didn't even like baseball though dad knew i would fucking appreciate it more and i would remember it more and i did and uh one of the coolest things i got was uh a picture of kenny lofton in a atlanta braves jersey and hat because 1997 uh we traded him right before the deadline uh to get i believe david justice if i'm uh if i'm I don't remember who we got, but that sounds right, I guess. I forget exactly who we traded for.
Oh, no, Marquise Grissom was a part of that one. Fun times.
And shout out to Kenny. My favorite piece of sports memorabilia is actually very timely because this person just passed away Monday night while I was doing Monday night countdown, which made it hit extra hard.
Well, at least that's when the news broke. Pete Rose.
I have a signed baseball by Pete Rose. Charlie Hustle himself, man.
And I don't know. I've just always been a huge Pete fan.
Obviously, he had his demons, but the way he played the game and carried himself. And I think also like dad just loved him.
So that made me love him a little bit more. So I love that piece of memorabilia that will probably mean more now that there won't be any more of a maid.
I've had a lot of people run into Pete before he passed and they just had the world. They just said great things about him.
Either way, RIP to the big guy. And that is a very, very cool piece of memorabilia that you got.
What else do you got? You got anything else? I also have some boxes of rookie card. Well, I have some boxes of football cards that are from Tom Brady's rookie year.
I brought this up on an earlier show that I really want to open. And I still haven't opened them, but I think it would be cool to open those.
Maybe that can be, maybe not bonus content. I don't know.
I think it'd be fun. Open them and see if there's a Tom Brady rookie card inside.
Dude, I'd be at the edge of my seat looking at that fucking, you opening those. Can you imagine? We open one of them, we pull a freaking Tom Brady rookie card? I want to know who else is in that draft

class. I know that Tom's the big

ticket item. Let's look.
Tom's the big

ticket because he was the

last big draft? No, he's the big

ticket because that's the one

that's going for millions of dollars signed

and delivered. What was

Tom's rookie year? 01?

2000 draft? Courtney

Brown. Cleveland Brown.
Hey-oh. 2000 NFL draft.
LeVar Arrington. Chris Samuels.
Peter Ward. Jamal Lewis.
Corey Simmons. Corey Simon.
Corey Simmons. I should know him from the Philadelphia Eagles.
I feel like there's a better way to go about this. Brian Urlacher.
It's a huge Urlacher. I'll go crazy if I get an Urlacher card because I love Brian Urlacher.
You were a white linebacker. That's why.
I was trying to be. I mean, the only thing we didn't have in common was that he was way more athletic and I had more hair.
Had. Had.
Yeah, I'm really hoping for that time, Brady. I have to look at some of these names.
All right. Well, that does it for No Dumb Questions brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express.

That's right.

Don't steal home without it.
