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

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

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

Speaker 1 ESBN didn't want to see you go fucking ape shit in Buffalo, did they?

Speaker 1 They didn't want to see you just rip your shirt off.

Speaker 1 I was watching tweets and tailgates and just like, oh my gosh. Mafia's just calling, Jason,

Speaker 1 come out and play.

Speaker 1 They're not letting me. I got to stay in the house tonight.

Speaker 1 I got to do my homework.

Speaker 1 Welcome back. To New Heights, a wonderful show produced by Wave Sports and Entertainment and brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings.
Let's go, Sports Barb.

Speaker 1 We're your hosts. We're back at it yet again for another week.

Speaker 1 Travis Kelsey here. This is my big brother, Jason Kelsey, out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, Cincinnati Bearcat alums.
The Bearcats coming off a 34-0 domination over the Houston Cougars.

Speaker 1 I mean, they should be 3-0. They blew that game against Pitt.
Your guy, Narduzi, how'd it going? I am kind of, I'm always. But yeah, they should be 3-0.

Speaker 1 They looked really good last week, and we're going down to Lubbock, Texas to take on the Texas Tech Raiders. Dude,

Speaker 1 you and Pat got a little little side bet going? I told Patty Mahomes he's got, he's got it. Come on now.
You know we do. You know we do.
I let it, when it happens, you'll know. You'll know.

Speaker 1 I might just fucking, if Cincinnati doesn't hold it down, I might look like an idiot next week. Oh, I can't wait.
Come on, Bearcast. I don't know who I'm rooting for anymore.

Speaker 1 Go down there and call some havoc.

Speaker 1 Subscribe on YouTube, Wondery Plus, wherever you get your podcast, and follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with 1s. Jason, let the people know what we got coming up, brother.

Speaker 1 Oh, of course. We got another great episode lined up for you guys.
We're going to talk about the Chiefs being 3-0 to start the season. The Eagles' big bounce back win down in New Orleans.

Speaker 1 NOLA, I think it's called NOLA.

Speaker 1 And the rest of the biggest stories are around the league, including the surprising division leaders, Justin Fields, success in Pittsburgh, and Andy Dalton, the ginger, soulless creature winning big in Carolina.

Speaker 1 Anyways, first, we're going to get a little bit of, get a little bit of

Speaker 1 new news.

Speaker 1 New news. New news is brought to you by United Airlines, where good

Speaker 1 leads the way. That's right.

Speaker 1 United. A little history lesson last time.
We're going to talk about a little bit of grotesquerie. That's right, Travis.
Nice. Nice.
I like how you said that.

Speaker 1 First item of new news is Travis's acting debut. Well, I don't know if that's true.
Travis has acted in a few other things, guys.

Speaker 1 But this is his biggest acting role debut where he's a featured cast member for multiple, multiple episodes. I think, what's your other closest one? Moonbase 8, where you had the...
Moonbase 8.

Speaker 1 I mean, technically, I was acting on SNL, but yeah.

Speaker 1 Those are one episodes kind of one-offs. This was the full season.

Speaker 1 True. Yeah.
Well, tonight. That's right.
Tonight, Wednesday, September 25th. The first two episodes of Grotesque Yeti

Speaker 1 starring Nisi Nash, Courtney B. Vance, and, of course, the Big Yeti.
We'll hear on FX. Oh, nice.
Are you the bad guy? Are you

Speaker 1 the killer? Can't tell you.

Speaker 1 You're gonna have to watch, Jason. Make sure you have the girls watch this.
They're gonna love this show. Listen, Kylie will murder me.

Speaker 1 I am gonna have the girls. And then the moment,

Speaker 1 is there like a warning, or is there a lot of surprises? Dude, do not watch stuff. That was completely a joke.
Do not let the girls watch this show.

Speaker 1 Girls, there's Uncle Travis. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 1 I don't know if they'll even

Speaker 1 understand what's going on in the show. Dude, you know what movie we watch?

Speaker 1 It's very like,

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yeah, it's a little bit too advanced.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's too advanced for toddlers. I forget.
I think I was having the girls watch RRR. I was watching R.R.R.
and Kylie was like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 The opening scene is... It's not funny.
I don't know. I'm laughing because you let your daughters watch that.
Kylie's like, are you kidding me? But you know what we did just watch? Which, so

Speaker 1 Wyatt's at the stage now where she enjoys it, it was not good. It's not good.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, I didn't do permanent damage.

Speaker 1 It's not good. Hopefully, Wyatt doesn't start like.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, we don't find neighborhood pets riddling in our backyard in a few years. I don't know what I just did.

Speaker 1 I'm laughing because I could see Kylie's face. So, Jason, what the fuck are you doing?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 You were.

Speaker 1 That's not good. No, no, it's not.
It's not good at all. All right.
Anyways, Mama Kelsey also appeared to stop by

Speaker 1 the Crow Tuscari. Look at me.
My mom. Looking fantastic.
I like a nice wine color on her. Yeah, did she know she was going to match so well? I don't I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think she just you know she went with like the purplish burgundy, which is like she just knew she was gonna look good in it. And she was like, I'm rocking her

Speaker 1 like color. Like when I think of bad, I think of purple for some reason.
Is that because of Super Mario? Like all the bad guys are always purple? I don't know. I don't know.
Like Waluigi.

Speaker 1 I do know that mom got to meet Nisi. Nice.
And had nothing but amazing things to say about her,

Speaker 1 which everyone does. Nisi Nash is amazing.
Yeah. And she just had a blast.
She went up there with Uncle Don and Joan and

Speaker 1 everybody, they were all texting me afterwards telling me they enjoyed it and they can't wait to keep watching it. And I'm just like, man, I didn't know you guys were into thrillers like this.

Speaker 1 You're excited about the premiere? Yeah, I'm excited. I just want to see, you know, I haven't seen anything yet.
I kind of been just like...

Speaker 1 focused on training camp and football as everything's been getting edited and finished. And

Speaker 1 I've just been locked in on the on the on the season. Yeah, so you know the story, but you kind of are like, this is going to be fun for you to actually get to see what it looks like firsthand.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You read the scripts and everything.
And I'm not going to lie, I focused on my parts more than I understood the entire

Speaker 1 grand scheme of the show. Sure.
So there are parts that I was like

Speaker 1 watching the trailer. And I'm just like, oh, this is, this is, this is really interesting.
Oh, that was happening? I'm definitely going to dive in and watch it for sure.

Speaker 1 Well, it'll be nice to see a Kelsey finally in something other than a commercial. But while we're on the topic of commercials, let's talk about your Pepsi commercial.
Oh, nice. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's the other thing, besides

Speaker 1 this beautiful series

Speaker 1 premiere scripted content that's coming out tonight.

Speaker 1 It's probably, I mean, it's got to be commercial of the year. I mean, star-studded.
Dude, it's pretty sweet. It was an awesome kickoff to the football season.

Speaker 1 Like, when you get to put on like a cool outfit like that. Like Pepsi custom-made our armor, our gladiators armor.
Was that actual, is it actually metal or is it like plastic? Don't lie to me. What?

Speaker 1 Don't lie to me. It's full.
I had to defend myself from a tiger. You think that's just

Speaker 1 plastic. You're ridiculous, Jason.
I hate this. And I did get to keep it, which is pretty sweet.
That's pretty cool. Josh,

Speaker 1 Derrick Henry.

Speaker 1 Justin Jefferson, they all did fucking unbelievable jobs. And sure enough, the director, Jake Scott, is the son of Ridley Scott, who directed the actual movie, Gladiators.

Speaker 1 And I cannot wait to see that movie. It looks so good.
He's directed a lot of movies. Yeah.
Yeah. And his son, Jake, did an unbelievable job.

Speaker 1 Jake just, he rolled us through everything and knocked everything out real fast. And it was just awesome.
He knew exactly how he wanted to get everything shot. And

Speaker 1 yeah, he was unbelievable at giving me the direction, literally. So I'm coachable, man.
You coach me up. I can do it.
Ridley taught him well. And it was just fun.
It was cool to see the final product.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, it was an awesome final product. You guys fended off the tigers.
You danced. You sang.

Speaker 1 You came together as a group of friends. As gladiators do.
Ready for week one of the NFL. Yeah.
Had my man Winnie the Bish

Speaker 1 out there. You know who I had as a director in a commercial recently? Who's that? Neil Brennan.
I didn't even know he's a dream.

Speaker 1 Yeah, dude. Neil is awesome.
His stand-ups are great, too. Yes.

Speaker 1 And you don't realize he's directed a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 Like off the top of my head. I didn't know it at all.
I thought he, because I knew he was involved with

Speaker 1 Chappelle show. Yes.

Speaker 1 He's awesome, man. I had obviously seen his stand-up, but I did not know.
Like, when I showed up to the commercial shoot and he was directing me, I was like, what the, what's going on right now?

Speaker 1 Like, why? It's an honor. It really is an honor.
He did, uh, he did my Lowe's commercial with me and McCafferty. Oh, nice.
Nice. Shout out to McCaffrey, man.
Hopefully he gets on the field here soon.

Speaker 1 But yeah, man, the Pepsi commercial was amazing.

Speaker 1 Grotesquery comes out tonight. And yeah, man, cannot wait to see everybody's reaction of me being in a mystery thriller.
Kind of scary. I'm turning all the lights off.
What the fuck is going on?

Speaker 1 It'll get you thinking now. Yeah.
Is it? That's what I love when they're thriller, like mysteries, like who's the killer? I get sucked into those shows so easy. Buckle up, boys.

Speaker 1 Are you even alive?

Speaker 1 Are any of us alive, Jason? jason are you

Speaker 1 bruce willis sick sensing it like are you even no you're don't you it might be a little that don't play mind games with me right now it might be a little bit of that i don't maybe though i don't know what to expect yeah me neither more new news our first wondery plus exclusive drops this week we've got brand new segments we're excited to drop such as dumb answers Ooh, which is nice.

Speaker 1 Off of no dumb questions because there's no dumb questions, but there are dumb answers. There are

Speaker 1 dumb ass answers. I've been accused.
Yeah. Sign me up for the dumb answers line.

Speaker 1 grade kids on dumb answers officially. Like, that's how

Speaker 1 grades work. But yeah, dumb answers.
We'll respond to some of the craziest lies you guys were told as kids. And we're also going to introduce some more new segments soon, like Heights Hotline.

Speaker 1 We're also thinking about starting a new Heights film club.

Speaker 1 I'm in on this. I'm in on this.
What do we, what? I mean, I guess we can do like

Speaker 1 we can do anything. Yeah, we really can do it.
It's our club.

Speaker 1 Visit wondry.com/slash new heights offer to redeem. How about that? And that was new news that took forever and is brought to you by United Airlines, where good leads the way.
Better believe it.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get some football. Chiefs 22, Falcon 17, Sunday Night Football, NBC.
Oh, you're ready.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Initial thoughts from the game, Trav. Anything you want to start off with? Pat said it.
Coach Reed said it. You know, we're finding ways to win games, and we're not playing our best football.

Speaker 1 Everybody can clean it up. I think everyone saw my drop on in the fourth quarter, that crucial third down,

Speaker 1 just trying to do too much before putting the ball away. And

Speaker 1 that's probably the biggest thing for me is making the play in big time moments like that.

Speaker 1 I think with how defenses are playing us right now, I'm not really getting a lot of opportunities to make plays down the field, but not using that as an excuse moving forward, still trying to make sure that I can help the team out in that regard, knowing that I've been that weapon for us in the past.

Speaker 1 And moving forward, it's just, you know,

Speaker 1 everyone's just tweaking their game in the right direction. And we know what we have to do to get better this week going out west to play the Chargers.
And I'm excited for the challenge, baby.

Speaker 1 And we're 3-0, man. It doesn't get any better than a 3-0 start.
Pat and Coach Reed were asked about Big Yeti. We talked about this.

Speaker 1 We're calling plays for Travis, and it's like two or three people are going to him. People are really emphasizing trying to take him away, Pat said.

Speaker 1 And then Andy says they're working hard at taking Kelsey out of the the picture. If they're doing that, Rashi is going to get a lot of catches, and Trab knows that.
Sometime that will level off.

Speaker 1 Whatever it is, it's football, baby. What about now?

Speaker 1 I'm not getting caught up in getting the targets and all that. I just want to have a successful offense.

Speaker 1 And I think Pat's doing a great job of finding the open guy and making the right decisions right now.

Speaker 1 And we just have to keep finding, it's a new offense, new players, new pieces. And we're just finding, you know, how to have success throughout the season.

Speaker 1 As an offense, you're going to go through these ups and downs throughout the season. And you just want to make sure that

Speaker 1 you clean up all the mistakes, that you're making sure that you're communicating so that everybody understands exactly where we're going moving forward.

Speaker 1 And nobody does it better than Coach Reed and Pat Mahomes in that regard. There's no question.

Speaker 1 I mean, it has been, it feels like you guys have dealt with this and semblances of it over the last couple years, especially.

Speaker 1 last year, midway through the season, defensive playing well, and then you guys turned it on in the second half of it.

Speaker 1 But these soft coverages where they're really taking everything away underneath or giving you everything underneath, but taking away the explosive.

Speaker 1 And you have to take these little, you know, I mean, you're running the ball like crazy, and you have to when they're giving you boxes the way you guys are getting them.

Speaker 1 I can imagine that you're frustrated. I've had a lot of catches in this league, man.
I'm not worried about, you know, the catches and the yards and all of that.

Speaker 1 I have the most fun when I get the ball thrown my way. I mean, who does

Speaker 1 execution feels emotional? It has everything to do with execution, just making sure that we're doing whatever we can to win these football games, man. And that's always going to be the goal.

Speaker 1 It's going to go your way, especially if you freaking keep being the guy you've always been. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 There ain't nobody that I've ever played sports with and nobody that anybody's ever been on a team with that has loved being out there with Trav more. And I know it's

Speaker 1 frustrating for me to watch and have to listen to, but I can't wait.

Speaker 1 And we don't got to put that in there. But

Speaker 1 I just can't wait. I fucking can't wait for it to turn.
And if it doesn't, as long as we're winning football games, we good to go, baby. Rashi had a hell of a game.
Carson Steele had a hell of a game.

Speaker 1 My dog, 4-2, man, Dundee, as I call him. He's got the Crocky J alligator back in Indiana as a

Speaker 1 present from his dad, which is the coolest thing ever, man. And he just

Speaker 1 runs the ball like a maniac, man, just like a freight train. Some people call him the white rhino.

Speaker 1 He's hitting the hole and he's dragging guys for an extra three, four yards every single time he hits somebody or he's at the point of contact. And you just love a guy

Speaker 1 that just hits the hole like that, man.

Speaker 1 It puts such a strain on the defense. I don't like comparing guys to like

Speaker 1 necessarily when there's a white running back and you, I feel like they always are a white D-lineman. They always get compared to like other white guys.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 I don't like that comparison, but he, when he leans forward, he looks so much like Larry Zonka. Like, you remember watching Larry Zonka run?

Speaker 1 I wasn't expecting that. It's almost like a torpedo that's like at an angle off the ground.
Yeah, like that's what he reminds me of for some fucking reason. I don't know why.

Speaker 1 That's hella, that's a hell of a fucking reference, right there.

Speaker 1 That's pretty good. Yeah, Rashi,

Speaker 1 he's rolling right now, man. I couldn't be happier for the guy.
You want to talk about one of the hardest workers in the building, man? Week in, week out, day in, day out.

Speaker 1 He is out there busting his ass in practice. And I'll tell you what, man, he's getting rewarded with the way he's playing right now.
Yeah. And he's really, he's, I mean,

Speaker 1 he's the charge right now.

Speaker 1 He's the frontrunner in terms of like who we're going to, who we're trying to get the ball in his hands. Every single time he touches the ball, he's breaking tackles.

Speaker 1 He's finding a way to get the ball. He's finding a way to get first downs.
He's doing an unbelievable job in terms of blocking and just helping

Speaker 1 the rest of his teammates out when they got the rock. And it's just, he's playing

Speaker 1 selfless football. And I couldn't be happy for it right now.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's playing phenomenal.

Speaker 1 One of the things I love watching a guy is yards after the catch. A guy that turns like

Speaker 1 an average catch into something special. And he's been doing it all season long.
He's right now. He's leading all players in yards after the catch this season with 200.

Speaker 1 He also leads all receivers with forced missed tackles with nine.

Speaker 1 So he has been electric with the ball in his hands. So yeah, they should probably keep throwing it to him because good things are happening.
Defense comes up big in spags. We trust.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs defense continues to play at a high level. The defense finished with two sacks, eight tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, and an interception.
How about that?

Speaker 1 That's a lot of negative plays. Let's get into some of these highlights.
Starting with the interception and lateral. Very Ed Reed Baltimore Ravens-esque.

Speaker 1 Whenever I see an interception lateral, I always think of the Ravens. I feel like they did this for a number of years.
Yeah, get the ball in Ed Reed's hands.

Speaker 1 Go, go, go, go. Are you pro? I mean, you're pro-lateraling on offense.
You got to be pro-lateraling on defense after an interception. Everybody, yeah.
I'm in on laterals. Laterals are so electric.

Speaker 1 Did you see that hook and ladder? That

Speaker 1 was Lions or. Yeah, it was Lions.
Lions right? Yeah. Love it.
Love a good hook and ladder. For a touchdown, a good hook and lateral.

Speaker 1 Man, when teams used to break that out in high school, it's so fucking electric. What is a hook and ladder best for zoner man? I'm going to say man.
Man.

Speaker 1 That makes sense. Yeah.
Who knows? It might be good for good against all. I feel like you want the hook, you got to have enough space there.

Speaker 1 So it's got to be like enough soft coverage that he can catch it and lateral it. But what do I know? I don't.
I have no idea. Yeah.
Jamari is playing his ass off right now.

Speaker 1 He's not just, it wasn't just the pick here. He's making plays left and right.
And really our entire defense is lights out.

Speaker 1 I mean, outside of maybe, what, like the first drive or the first quarter, they, I mean, they were just, they were lights out, man.

Speaker 1 And I just, I, I can't say enough about what Spaggs is doing with these guys. He's just putting him in such a position to have success and just to have fun and play free and fly around.
I mean,

Speaker 1 it's a nod to everybody on that defense to like own up to like their piece of the puzzle. You know, you got guys like Mike Pinnell who is just, just driving offensive linemen into the backfield.

Speaker 1 Leo Chanel just driving guys off the ball and just making sure that they play their gap so hard that the running back and the linebackers just have these lanes to shoot. And

Speaker 1 no more prevalent than this huge fourth down when Nick Bolton came flying through a gap untouched

Speaker 1 to get

Speaker 1 Bijan Robinson right here. And that really secured the win for us.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's just, it's awesome when you see the defensive side just making these huge plays, man, because it really does make you feel unstoppable when you're putting up points, man.

Speaker 1 I will say, I don't know what the hell the lead blocker was doing on this foul. Yeah, he didn't have his eyes on it.

Speaker 1 But that's the thing.

Speaker 1 Are you expecting the guy to go underneath? I don't know. Sometimes those design, like those game plan runs, you just don't get enough looks at them.
So you get an awkward look.

Speaker 1 And if it's not the look you practiced, you got to have guys that can just, you know, wing it.

Speaker 1 And unfortunately, it didn't look like he had his eyes on the right guy, or who knows, maybe somebody else screwed it up and he had his eyes on the wrong guy.

Speaker 1 You never know how that thing was supposed to play out. I just know that it looked like the Chiefs' defensive line got a real good push.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it looked like we capped the defense right here and didn't let him get outside the numbers on a sweet play like that. So Bolton, man, he's playing huge for us.

Speaker 1 Everybody, he kind of went down there for a quick second, got himself back in the football game and made the biggest play for us, man.

Speaker 1 Just love of a fuck. He's a heck of a He's a ball player, man.

Speaker 1 You can tell. He's just a ball player.
He just wants to fucking win, man. I love that dude.
Wants to win, communicates everything, gets guys lined up.

Speaker 1 He's really the quarterback out there, especially for the guys in the box. It's fun watching him play.
Yeah. Next week, you guys got the Chargers in L.A.
Beth is correct. Yes.

Speaker 1 How will it be different preparing for this team with new head coach?

Speaker 1 Well, new head coach, older head coach, Jim Harbaugh. Yeah.
The Chargers coming off, a lost to the Steelers, but our two and one.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs have beat the Chargers the last five times you guys have played them. Don't mean a damn thing.
Yeah, that's

Speaker 1 in the past.

Speaker 1 Every time you get

Speaker 1 new season, new head coach, especially a motivator like Harbaugh, I mean, these guys are going to fucking play hard, and they've been playing their ass off

Speaker 1 really the entire season. I know they lost to the Steelers, but they were flying around and not making it easy on them.
It sounds like they're going to be missing. I think Bosa, is Bosa going to play?

Speaker 1 I know he got hurt in the last game.

Speaker 1 I have no idea who's up and who's down right now derwin james just got suspended which i do know that yeah that's unfortunate man you always love going up against derwin he's just he's the best man he's the best and i love going up against the best yeah he should be out there i'll leave that other than that i think uh

Speaker 1 you know whether or not herbert plays it all that's in all that's out of our control our control is we still have to get better offensively our defense is playing lights out i think coach reed's message in the building today is that you know we just keep finding finding the answers.

Speaker 1 No doubt. And we just keep climbing the ladder on getting better.
And

Speaker 1 let's go out there and play our best football for four quarters. And

Speaker 1 that's all we're really focused on right now. Well, let's focus on a LeBron stat for this last game.

Speaker 1 With the win over the Falcons, Pat secured his 77th career win, surpassing Tom Brady and Roger Stahlbach for the most quarterback victories in their first 100 starts.

Speaker 1 And second LeBron stat, Andy Reed, now has more career wins with the Kansas City Chiefs than with the the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, baby.
He's got 131 with the Chiefs and 130 with the Eagles.

Speaker 1 He has won 261 games just as a head coach, not even going back to Green Bay. Nope.
That's a heck of a ball coach right there, man. That's a ball coach right there, baby.
Shout out to the big red.

Speaker 1 Heck yeah. Before we get out of the Chiefs section, we have some house cleaning, housekeeping.
Oh, there we go. Housekeeping we need to address.
First,

Speaker 1 Chris Jones wants his half sack back.

Speaker 1 During a press conference last week, Chris Stone Cold Jones let the football world know that he's not happy about his half-a-sack against the Bengals being taken away and given to teammate George Karloftis.

Speaker 1 Chris Jones was quoted as saying, I'm trying my best not to get fined, but in my nine years of playing, three days later, when my hand was clearly on him, I don't know who viewed it. Play 29.

Speaker 1 Okay, calls it out by name. Okay, play 29.
But who's counting? Who's counting?

Speaker 1 I could just hear this in Chris's voice.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm trying my best not to

Speaker 1 get fined.

Speaker 1 We both touched him at the same time. So is he arguing that he should have got a half sack and he didn't get credited with anything? No, he got the half sack in the game and then on top of it.

Speaker 1 And then a couple of days later, they reviewed it and they gave the full sack to George. So he got his half sack taken away.

Speaker 1 But then once he kind of let it go, he said, George agreed to treat me for dinner, so I'm good now. I mean,

Speaker 1 he did help assist the tackle,

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 1 But George kind of had him, you know, he had Joe wrapped up around the leg. I have no idea.
I don't even know what this looks like. I saw it.

Speaker 1 You saw it. George has him on the ankle.
I think he's probably going to get the sack, but I mean, there's no question Chris

Speaker 1 shoves him down. I don't know how they count these things.
I really don't. I just know that there's a race to touch a quarterback whenever he's going down.
Yeah. That's all I know.

Speaker 1 That's what it really is.

Speaker 1 Who can get closest to him? Yeah, he said George agreed to treat me to dinner. I'm good now.
Something tells me he's still kind of upset about it, but that's fine. Can we do anything about this?

Speaker 1 Can we call the commissioner? I mean, you probably can. Justice for Chris.
Yeah. Make a big stink about it.

Speaker 1 I'm not getting involved in this. Lastly, Creed Humphrey has a great bit going on.
I've been noticing this too. This is awesome.
Love

Speaker 1 it right now. I love the pregame fits.
He started it. We keep winning.
He has to keep doing it. He's got to keep doing it.
He's got to keep it. He's going to keep doing it.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure he was going to keep doing it regardless, but I think the 3-0 start is very...

Speaker 1 getting a lot of juju, a lot of good juju from Creed in his pregame fits. Well, it's been three weeks since Creed started his t-shirt bit, so uh, we got to show them all right now.

Speaker 1 It started with just the first game, then they won. So then he decided to do the old duct tape maneuver and write bangles over it.
Here's that one, and uh, yeah, they won again, so

Speaker 1 he's he's staying true to it. He ain't new to this, he's true to this.
There's something about duct tape that is just like

Speaker 1 it's a great fixes everything, man. It fixes everything,

Speaker 1 it's a it's a heck of of an invention. And to use it in this way.
I still remember you fucking putting duct tape on your cut. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 What an idiot, man. No, it works.
It works. Dude, no way.
That hurt. I know that hurt like a mother when you ripped it off.
All right. But either way,

Speaker 1 I love how the first two home games, home games are a little bit more lax. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 You're at the house, but then when you go on an away trip, business attire, still wore the t-shirt underneath a nice blazer. He was ready to rock and roll.

Speaker 1 The real question is: do we think Creed's washing this shirt each week? I don't know. I'll have to ask.
Somebody's going to have to ask him. I mean, it still looks fresh.
It's real nice.

Speaker 1 Oh, I can't wait to see what it looks like this week. Something tells me

Speaker 1 it's going to be the same.

Speaker 1 This is a real good story about Drew, a real United Airlines customer. After almost four years of treatments, I was finally cancer-free.
My mom's like, where do you want to go to celebrate?

Speaker 1 I'm like, let's go somewhere tropical. And then pilot hopped on the intercom and started talking about me.
And I was like, what is going on here?

Speaker 1 My wife beats cancer too, and I wanted to celebrate his special moment. That's Bill, a real United pilot.
We brought him drinks and donuts. We all signed a card.
I was smiling ear to ear.

Speaker 1 Best flight ever for sure. That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 1 Hey, Zach! Are you smiling at my gorgeous canyon view? No, Donald. I'm smiling because I've got something I want to tell the whole world.
Well, do it. Shout it out.
T-Mobile's got home internet.

Speaker 1 Whoa, I love that echo. T-Mobile's got home internet.

Speaker 1 Oh, my Jesus. Look at that, Zach.

Speaker 1 And you love a great deal, Denise. Plus, they've got a five-year price guarantee.
That's five whole trips around the sun. I'm switching.

Speaker 1 Yes, T-Mobile home internet for the neighborhood. McDonald's, you still haven't returned my weed whacker.

Speaker 1 T-Mobile's got home internet!

Speaker 1 Yes, T-Mobile's got home internet. Just $35 a month with autopay and any voice line, and it's guaranteed for five years.

Speaker 1 Mom and dad, uh, mom and mom, dad and dad, whatever, parents, are you about to spend five hours in the car with your beloved kids this holiday season? Driving to old granny's house.

Speaker 1 I'm setting the scene. I'm picturing screaming, fighting, back-to-back hours of the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack on repeat.

Speaker 1 Well, when your ears start to bleed, I have the perfect thing to keep you from rolling out of that moving vehicle. Something for the whole family.
He's filled with laughs. He's filled with rage.

Speaker 1 The OG Green Gronk, give it up for me, James Austin Johnson, as the Grinch.

Speaker 1 And like any insufferable influencer these days, I'm bringing my crew of lesser talented friends along for the ride with A-list guests like Gronk, Mark Hamill, and the Jonas Brothers, whoever they are.

Speaker 1 There's a little bit of something for everyone. Listen to Tis the Grinch Holiday Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 All right now, let's move on to some bold topics. Jason's Monday night in Bristol.
Hey, yo. Bristol, Connecticut, ESPN's headquarters, I believe.

Speaker 1 You are back doing Monday night content on ESPN in Bristol this week. How did you like doing the show from the studio versus at the stadium? It's cool.

Speaker 1 It's definitely more fun at the stadium with the environment, the players, the fans. I would assume.
But hey, whenever I get to be up there with Scott Van Pelt, Ryan, and Swagoo,

Speaker 1 it's a fun evening, to say the least. Yeah.
ESBN didn't want to see you go fucking ape shit in Buffalo, did they?

Speaker 1 They didn't want to see you just rip your shirt off. I was watching tweets and tailgates and just like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 I thought it was so much better. Mafia.
Mafia's just calling, Jason,

Speaker 1 come out and play.

Speaker 1 They're not letting me. I got to stay in the house tonight.

Speaker 1 I got to do my homework. Yeah.
It would have been a lot of fun up there in Buffalo, but, you know, wasn't the case. Two games.
Two games is different. You got to prepare a lot more.

Speaker 1 And I love learning from these guys, man.

Speaker 1 Swag and Ryan and Scott have been doing it for a long time. They're awesome, man.
Man, it's just impressive. It's very, very impressive what they're doing.
It's my favorite show in sports.

Speaker 1 The biggest takeaway from 92%ers was definitely your dad sneakers. That's right.
You're up there. This picture is fucking electric right here.
Whoever screenshotted this. What's so electric about it?

Speaker 1 Double hand on the hips. I'm listening.
That's a listening. That's my listening.
You're open. You are.
You're engaged. With hands on the hips, I'm open.
Yep. But

Speaker 1 engaged.

Speaker 1 Here,

Speaker 1 I don't know if you're listening or not. Here,

Speaker 1 here, you're not. disinterested.
Yeah, you are. I'm not listening to what's happening right now.
Here, it's like, okay, yes, sir. Yep.
No, I got what you're saying. Okay.
Stop my boom.

Speaker 1 Nice. That's good body language.
Yeah. But yeah, nice, nice kicks, man.
The old dad balances. Yeah, dad balances.
There you go. They had Kelsey's.

Speaker 1 You could fix the second floor bathroom and those things. You could spread some mulch in those things.

Speaker 1 You can ask your kids to cut the grass in those things. What else can you do in those things? I mean, you can do anything you want in those things.
You could could be a little league.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could be a little league. You go on Monday Night Content with those things.
I mean, you can do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 Man, Dad Kelsey's got to figure it out, man. Did any part of you consider wearing flip-flops? No.

Speaker 1 Is that frowned upon in the ESPN studio? ESPNs kind of give me a lot of the leeway. They're pretty much saying you can wear whatever you want, Jason.
Just make it make sense.

Speaker 1 I think we were doing like a little bit there where I needed to be a little bit agile, so I felt like the shoes were necessary. I like the flip-flops.

Speaker 1 I just don't like flip-flops when I'm actually moving around and doing a bunch of stuff. Like, then I do prefer shoes.
If I'm just kind of like

Speaker 1 going about my day and I'm not going to need shoes, I'll go flip-flops. And that's the majority of my days because I'm retired and bored and lonely.

Speaker 1 Um, but the shoes work very well for uh, it just feels like you're working a little bit. Yeah, I got you.
I'm blocked in, ankles are ready. Yeah, I get you, man.
Get that ankle support.

Speaker 1 You're watching. I need it.
Oh, yeah. All all you need is...
I get them ligament springs. My ankle collapses.

Speaker 1 I need the ankle support. I need the base.
Especially if I'm going to be passing swag goo over there. Some new ankles.

Speaker 1 This double-breasted burgundy.

Speaker 1 Crimson? What is that? That's crimson. Listen, that's why it's swagoo, baby.
92%ers immediately compared Jason's dad's shoes to... Oh, my game day sneakers.
That's funny. What costs more?

Speaker 1 I think we both know the answer to this.

Speaker 1 I had some rare sneaks. Yeah, I had some rare sneakers on, man.
Which ones are these? The Jordan 3s.

Speaker 1 Yes, they're the

Speaker 1 legends of summer. These are Justin Timberlakes right here, man.

Speaker 1 Is that just paint or is that? Why is it so? It looks like it's got like an interesting texture. No, they're just different fabrics and different textures.
Yeah. It is a different texture? Yeah.
100%.

Speaker 1 Is it velvet?

Speaker 1 That's a great question. I'm not sure what the actual texture is.
Is it velvet? I'm not good with textures. I just know that it has a bunch of different.
I do love textures. You're right.

Speaker 1 I like different textures, and that's why I love these shoes. That, and I know Justin Tibberlake.
That's my dog. Yeah, dude.
The

Speaker 1 sneaks, Jordan 3s, retro threes, my dog Harry Clark, H.C. the Great, as you know,

Speaker 1 Heights legend.

Speaker 1 He's got a fun theme going on right now. We're wearing retros for every game.
So this week will be retro force. So

Speaker 1 be on the lookout, man. I don't know which ones I'm going to wear yet.
I'm going to go ahead and

Speaker 1 see what exclusives I can find in either my closet or online real quick. And then throw a fit together for it.
But join along, Chiefs Kingdom, if you want to join us. We're rocking fours this week.

Speaker 1 Make sure Harry gets me some shoes for in a couple of weeks when I'm up there. Nice.
Nice. I think if we get- Don't leave me out.
Don't leave me out.

Speaker 1 Make sure he gets you some fives, some raising bull fives or something. So you're just going to keep stepping the numbers up? Yeah.
How high do the Jordans go? What number are they still going?

Speaker 1 What number are we at now? I think like 30 something. I don't know.
86 was the first year. So you do the math.
So every year, it's a new model. New Jordan.
They don't ever do two models in a year.

Speaker 1 It's always one year, one Jordan per year. One Jordan with the number on it, like the Jordan 22s, the Jordan.

Speaker 1 And within the Jordan 22s, there's different ones that happened within that year, but those are all Jordan 22s.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think those are called Team Jordans, but they come out with a whole bunch of different

Speaker 1 types of shoes now. So I don't know how it's all done.
I just know I'm a fan of the retros more than anything. And it's been fun rocking them for the first three weeks.

Speaker 1 Is the pants being shorter than the shoes? Is that

Speaker 1 flooding?

Speaker 1 It's in now? Yeah, that's the style of suit, yeah. Flooding's in? Yep, flooding's in.
I be on my suit and tie. Who determines what's in and what's not in?

Speaker 1 However you want to rock your shit, dude. I really don't care what's in, what's not in.
I just go out there and I have fun wearing some shit that I think looks cool.

Speaker 1 I wanted to flood because I thought I had some cool shoes on i mean it looks great i'm not knocking the look i just like it feels like designers like they kind of like gravitate towards like specific themes a lot of the time yes whatever you want your bad line to be either way it looks good i do know that yeah man i wish i played as good as i felt

Speaker 1 all right well that does it for uh bristle connected

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 that does highlighted the evening with scott van felt bringing doughnuts got some donut holes

Speaker 1 SVP bringing some doughnuts.

Speaker 1 It was like it was a

Speaker 1 orchard donut holes, apple cider. Dude, did you feel

Speaker 1 all those cool-ass ESPN commercials when we were kids? Did you feel like you were in one of those commercials? Like, did you see mascots running around?

Speaker 1 No, did you see other famous definitely cooler in the commercials?

Speaker 1 It was, I saw a couple personalities. Nice.
ESPN personalities. But that's about it.
Yeah. I just pretty much did the show, watched football,

Speaker 1 tried to

Speaker 1 give

Speaker 1 my perspective on football I was watching and

Speaker 1 hung out with a bunch of dudes.

Speaker 1 Love that for you.

Speaker 1 Nice. All right.
Well, moving on to week three storylines.

Speaker 1 Let's move on to talk about some of the biggest storylines coming out of week three in the NFL, starting with the Eagles game for all our affiliate 92%ers tuning in.

Speaker 1 Oh, Eagles 15, Saints 12, a nail biter as well, and a bit of controversy at the end. Jason, initial thoughts?

Speaker 1 Well, at one point we had 300 yards of offense and zero points. Damn.
Which was crazy. Yeah, I mean, listen,

Speaker 1 the defense showed up and played fantastic. It was actually awesome to watch.
They came out. There's a lot more five-down looks, which they've been better in all year.

Speaker 1 And the Saints were the number one offense coming into the week. And the defense, I mean, they played fantastic.
Jalen Carter was a menace. Jordan Davis got a sack.
Zach Bond was playing in the box.

Speaker 1 He's playing on the line of scrimmage. They were, I mean, it was just such an awesome bounce back game for those guys.
And, you know, Vic had them coming.

Speaker 1 It was an impressive game by the defense. Offensively is an impressive game.
They just, again, turnovers, you know, had some failed fourth-down conversions, block punt.

Speaker 1 I mean, when you really think about it, between all that stuff, it's kind of remarkable that we did end up winning the game. I don't know.
It's impressive, man.

Speaker 1 They had almost 500 yards of offense or did. So I guess on the bright side, they stop turning the ball over and they start playing, you know,

Speaker 1 less more disciplined and less mistakes, critical mistakes. They're going to,

Speaker 1 I mean, the game shouldn't have been close. And this is a team that had blown out the first two opponents by double digits.

Speaker 1 So I think it's a lot of looking at it with the positive, but it's also like, hey, we got to get this fixed, guys. Let's pick up where we left off last week with the Eagles fans being mad about

Speaker 1 fourth down calls. At least that's what the rave was online.
The Eagles were down 3-0, and it was fourth and one with 14 seconds left in the first half. Birds fake

Speaker 1 the tush push. A little fake tush push.
The birds fake the tush push and hand it off to Saquon, who gets stopped short, unfortunately. Yeah.
I

Speaker 1 it's tough, man. That's that's the that's the game you play when you're going for it on fourth.
It is what it is. It is the Falcons.
We just played the Falcons.

Speaker 1 They went for it twice on fourth down and late in the game and didn't get it. I know.
And I think they were both fourth and manageable, right? Or at least, yeah, the last one was.

Speaker 1 The last one for sure. I think this one was hard because there's only 14 seconds left.
And you just wanted, like, even if you get it,

Speaker 1 you get like maybe one trigger situation from like the 10 or something like that, like where you have to throw it in the end zone. Is it worth the risk in that situation?

Speaker 1 The reason the fourth down decisions are being criticized because they haven't been working. That's the end of the day.
They did work in 2022 and they helped us get to a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 And Nick Siriani, like he has seen firsthand how much going for it on fourth down can help and improve your chances at winning a game. Obviously, when it's not working, it does the opposite.

Speaker 1 And these are the unfortunate circumstances you live by as a head coach making these decisions. It's hard.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, I thought Ryan Clark said it really good yesterday when I was with him, too.

Speaker 1 I like being the aggressor. I just do.
I like kind of having the ball in my hands. I will say

Speaker 1 it feels right now that the points league-wide are down. Offenses are scoring less points.
It feels like points are at a premium.

Speaker 1 So I don't know how that changes these analytical metrics on like a per season basis, right? We're only three weeks in, but across the league, people aren't putting up as many points.

Speaker 1 All of these games have been pretty low scoring.

Speaker 1 You know, maybe take some points and maybe that changes what these metrics are. But even the fourth and one with the fake little kind of QB sneak, people are like, that was against the analytics.

Speaker 1 The analytics, it was like 51.3% to 49%.

Speaker 1 Like you ain't finding better odds than that on a roulette table, putting it on red. Like, it's still.
Hold on now. Hold on now.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know. Hold on now.
You know.

Speaker 1 I don't know about the mods on the roulette table. So like the reality is, well, this one I get.
This one, I think, with the way the time was, I think that they probably should have just, and also

Speaker 1 they got the ball coming out of half. So like when you compound the fact that we get it coming out of half, let's just, let's take the points, let's get some momentum.

Speaker 1 I mean, easier said from where I'm at now that it didn't work because I know what's going in Nick's head. What I think is, I haven't talked to him.
Like we ran

Speaker 1 that fake quarterback sneak handoff against Washington last year. I think it was.
I think it was Washington. And it ended up being an explosive, right?

Speaker 1 Because they sell out to try and stop the QB sneak. It just, it didn't work.
And I'm thinking in the back of my head, it's like, maybe we're not just converting here.

Speaker 1 Maybe he thinks that we'll sneak a touchdown out. We still have a timeout.
We should at least get the first down.

Speaker 1 But with where the game was at at that point, it's 3-0. You know, it's low scoring.
Take the points. It's even game.
You get the ball coming out of halftime. But

Speaker 1 I say go for it. I love it.
Gosh. See, this is why you're better than me.
This is why you're better than me. This is why you're a better man.
You say, screw it. I'll put my nuts on the line.

Speaker 1 I love it. I want fucking tutties, man.
I don't want to fucking settle for three and then get the fucking thing. Andy's been kicking a lot of field goals.
Andy's been kicking a lot.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm not mad at that either.

Speaker 1 I'll take fucking points. This is what.
This is why Travis doesn't call plays.

Speaker 1 It is what it is. I trust Andy with everything because

Speaker 1 he does all the work in terms

Speaker 1 to make those kind of decisions, right? And Coach Siriani

Speaker 1 was in quotes saying, I called the play, Kellen did not.

Speaker 1 so he he owned up to it and and made sure that hey listen this is just how i coach this is this is my style of football and it's won us a lot of games and uh you know unfortunately it it ended uh that 15 play drive 78 yards ended in uh in nothing before half but at the same time it's like i just love the mentality of of going for it on fourth i just do i

Speaker 1 and and you guys have the horses and the and everybody involved that can that can get the job fucking done it is what it is i like giving the ball to Saquon Barkley on fourth and one. I just like it.

Speaker 1 It sounds really good in my head. Yeah.
If it's fourth and one, we're not giving it. We're usually tush-pushing it.
This was an outlier. Whatever it is,

Speaker 1 tush-push, nice. I like giving Saquon Barkley the ball anytime in the game, let alone when we need one yard.

Speaker 1 They should have gotten him involved way earlier, and that's one of the downsides of the RPOs. Bottom line, Nick has had a lot of success in this league, being risky.

Speaker 1 The last two years, I think there's been a number of instances that have stuck out, but ultimately,

Speaker 1 it's one of those things. You live by the sword, die by the sword.
I love the confidence. I love how I've seen it work in our favor.
And I just think, you know,

Speaker 1 I know Nick, and I know how much time he puts into this. And I just think that, by and large, he is making better decisions than most coaches.
I really believe that. I watch other guys late in game.

Speaker 1 Do you know about game management, clock management? I I just,

Speaker 1 I think Nick is still one of the better coaches in the league at that. And I know the decisions haven't gone right.
I know this one, like, it didn't work out.

Speaker 1 Uh, the one coming out of half didn't work out. Still found a way to win the football game, baby.
I still got faith. I'm still riding with Nick.
I really, I mean, you know that.

Speaker 1 I know you, your team guy like that. Is there anything more frustrating than a 15-play fucking drive that ends in nothing, though? It is just

Speaker 1 kicking the balls.

Speaker 1 It's just straight to the balls. Like, goddamn.
Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goddard saved the day.

Speaker 1 The Eagles had 284 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter and zero points, but everything changed in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 Saquon ended the game with 147 yards of his own and two tutties, and the Eagles were once again glad they called that guy. David, hey,

Speaker 1 you want to come over to the Philadelphia Eagles? And

Speaker 1 we really think we could use you. He had all of it in the second half.
They got to get him involved earlier. They have to.
And this is one of the problems.

Speaker 1 Or if they just have to eventually get him involved, and he's, and you guys are good.

Speaker 1 He's going to be, if he's going to be that good in the second half, maybe we should hold him to the second half.

Speaker 1 I didn't think about it that way. That's the corners on it a little bit.

Speaker 1 Now, I think that's one of the downsides of the RPOs, I feel like, is a lot of the times you can think you're calling these run plays, but based on the way the reads happen, it just doesn't end up

Speaker 1 manifesting as opposed to just the calling to run run-ups. I'd like to see them get Saquon dedicated touches earlier to make sure that he's getting opportunities.

Speaker 1 Dude, sometimes those, sometimes those run-pass options keep backers and safeties out of the box, though, man. It is what it is.
They do.

Speaker 1 And maybe that did make it like, listen, the RPOs didn't work in the first half. They were really bad.
But who knows how that affected them in the second half?

Speaker 1 Maybe they're still thinking about the RPO. Maybe they're still more hesitant to come downhill because we do that.

Speaker 1 The RPOs have been been successful in the past for us. I think early on, we got to get Saquon the ball a little bit more.
I do believe that.

Speaker 1 He did reach a top speed of 21.66 miles per hour on a 65 yards.

Speaker 1 For anybody that had any questions about

Speaker 1 he is moving 65 yards today.

Speaker 1 It didn't look like anybody could catch him on that one. He was second fastest play by a ball carrier this season.
Man, I wonder who the first one is. And you brought it up.

Speaker 1 Dallas has had a fantastic game. With AJ going down, then Smitty going down late.
It's like, dude, come on, Bubba.

Speaker 1 We need you. 10 receptions, 170 yards.
Well, he had a big play in the first half before Smitty went down.

Speaker 1 What do you call it when you're like going for a sale and then you do like a throwback? What's that called? Like on a boot play? You know, like on a boot, how you would like go over and sail back out?

Speaker 1 But you act like you're doing that, but like convert it and you do a throwback. You know what I mean? It's like a fake sale.
Sounds like a fake sale throwback.

Speaker 1 Call it whatever the fuck you want to call it.

Speaker 1 He got wide-ass open on it, though. I know exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 He had a bunch of big time catches, like you were saying. He had the ridiculous 30-yard, one-handed catch in the fourth.

Speaker 1 That was just, I mean, I love seeing that guy have success every single year at tight end U or whenever I see him out in Philly, man.

Speaker 1 It's just, he's just, he's such a good dude, and he works his ass off. And he's, he's a very like.

Speaker 1 He gets put in some tough positions. When I say tough positions, like one-on-one with a corner, one-on-one with a DB, one-on-one in the run game with a defensive lineman, you know, one of the

Speaker 1 pass pro, whatever it is, he's all around

Speaker 1 everything

Speaker 1 you need

Speaker 1 and the ultimate utility guy for that offense, man. He just, I don't think he gets enough credit for what he's been for the Eagles, man.
Couldn't agree more.

Speaker 1 He's been very underappreciated, I think, on the national scale. I think Philadelphians realize it, but

Speaker 1 I know the Eagles do. Yeah.
And then obviously the game clinching reception with 116 left to play. We're down 12-7.

Speaker 1 Jalen connects with Dallas on a 61-yard scamper that the Eagles get down to the four-yard line. It was

Speaker 1 obviously a little bit of

Speaker 1 kind of like

Speaker 1 on the defensive side.

Speaker 1 Running into each other.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you need that, though. Catchy jingle, man.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you need that, though. And this ended up being an awesome play for the Eagles.
And they connected and ended up winning the game off of it.

Speaker 1 CJ Garna Johnson, y'all favorite DBs couldn't chase a tight end down. What are you trying to say, CJ? I think he's trying to say their DBs are slow.

Speaker 1 Or is he trying to say that they say the tight ends are slow? Tight ends are slow. That's what he's saying.
Do you think you can outrun CJ? No.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Resounding. I could get just enough separation for just enough time to catch the ball, though.

Speaker 1 They found a way to get it done.

Speaker 1 but the highlight of the night was the defense it was a defensive battle yeah it's a huge bounce back game for those guys yeah it was a low scoring game and the defense was put in a lot of positions where they had to bow up and boy did they yes they did saints have put up a combined 91 points total the first two weeks and the eagles are coming off of just a bad performance against the falcons where they ran outside zone to the two-man surface at will well like what was the score the score wasn't high because they did a good job in the red zone which

Speaker 1 is a good defense.

Speaker 1 They also gave up a big two-minute drive.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was a bad performance by the D. It's one of those where you turn on the tape and you're like, man, we got to fix this run defense now.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But they did. They did.
They both. Three yards per carry.
Two. It was against Alvin Kamara and this rushing attack that had been killing people.

Speaker 1 They just, I forget how many yards they put up against Dallas, but they torched Dallas on the ground. Six tackles for loss, a sack and interception.

Speaker 1 Uh, Reed Blankenship, who was officially sealed the victory for the Eagles. There was a minute left on the clock.
Eagles up 15-12.

Speaker 1 Derek Carr throws a deep pass to, and Blankenship just, you know, makes a fucking play. Sometimes you just need a big play from your DBs, man.

Speaker 1 And sure enough, he showed up, baby. But it was Jalen Carter.
Everybody saw it. He was the one that was just absolutely wrecking the game on Sunday and played 51 of the 58 snaps.

Speaker 1 Guys, just a workhorse, three pressures, two hurries, one QB hit, two passes, batted down, four stops,

Speaker 1 whatever any of that means. He was out there fucking causing havoc.
They couldn't block him. And he earned the highest PFF grade of any D-tackle this year.
Oh, nice. He's got a good agent.

Speaker 1 They couldn't block him. I mean, he was in the backfield all game long.
It didn't matter whether it was the guard, the tackle.

Speaker 1 He was

Speaker 1 havoc in the backfield.

Speaker 1 He was talking trash. He was fired up.
The energy was there. You could tell.
He announced it that week. He had said, I played like trash.
And then he goes out there and just, I mean,

Speaker 1 say, hey, come on now, Bubba. It's the opposite of what I did.
I played like trash.

Speaker 1 Just I got to get it right. You know, I'm going to, I'm going to get it right.
Don't worry. Then I go out there and just play like trash again.

Speaker 1 Playing winning football. It's not trash, but it is, it could be better.
Either way, I hear you, though, man.

Speaker 1 And you could tell at the end of the game, he was still fired up. Dude,

Speaker 1 we need this every week, Bubba. Unfortunately,

Speaker 1 even though you guys got the win,

Speaker 1 a few injuries. Lane Johnson went down, unfortunately, in the first half.

Speaker 1 And offensive lineman Fred Johnson came in for Lane after not having played a snap in three years and held it down against a pretty damn good

Speaker 1 defensive line. Makai Bechton went down as well in the game, and Tyler Steen had to go in early.
I mean, Steen might, he might have played the best out of every.

Speaker 1 I mean, they all, the offensive line, they all played fantastic. Steen and Fred got it done.
And to be thrown in there in the middle of a game, that ain't easy. It's big time, man.
That is big time.

Speaker 1 Before, in past years, when Lane would go down,

Speaker 1 it would cripple us. Like, Lane is such a huge piece of our offense.

Speaker 1 And actually, against the Saints, like we, like Cam Jordan, I can remember specifically giving us issues when Lane Lane Johnson went down.

Speaker 1 Big Fred, he has been quietly to the public, not known, but everybody watching him do his business in the Nova Care complex has known this guy's come a long way. That's awesome, man.

Speaker 1 Tyler Steen, he's injured in OTAs. He gets injured in training camp.
He can't get his ankle right. Makai Bechten plays well.
He becomes a starter.

Speaker 1 What's he do? He just keeps working. And the opportunity comes and he answers it.
He played fantastic. He moved his feet well.
He shot his hands well. He played with good leverage.

Speaker 1 It was both those guys, all the guys up front, played fantastic. It was a masterful performance from the O-line.
Couldn't be more proud of those guys. Nice, man.
Well, we know

Speaker 1 they got one of the best coaches in the game leading them. So I'm sure.
Yeah, Stouty's got them boys rocking and

Speaker 1 well prepared, whether or not they're starting or not.

Speaker 1 Unfortunately, you guys got hit with Devontae Smith

Speaker 1 taking that shot.

Speaker 1 And it was

Speaker 1 a good one, man. Of course I saw it.
Everyone in the world saw it, man. It's tough, man.
Defensive guys kind of holding you up. You're fighting for extra yards.

Speaker 1 Sometimes you want to get down and you just can't get down as fast as you can. And I think it's just guys playing ball.

Speaker 1 I didn't think it was too dirty of a hit, but at the same time, man, it was an aggressive shot. It's one of those shots where if you're a teammate, you're fucking pissed off.

Speaker 1 If you're out there, you're like, let's fucking go. And you saw the answer, the quote with CJ DJ after the game, man, that's the dirtiest shit I ever saw in football.

Speaker 1 Like, you could tell the team was rattled by it, and it lit a fire under their ass, which, I mean,

Speaker 1 it sucks when you see a guy, especially a guy as good as Devontae, like just a great dude, like just a dog. And to have that happen, it just, it's going to eat at you.

Speaker 1 And I think, you know, I don't look at it like that when you're not on the field. Like, it did look like the guy was playing to the echo of the whistle.
If anything, I think it's on the refs.

Speaker 1 You got to stop the play early. Slower progress was that.
Yeah. Like, come on now.
What are we doing? Blow it dead.

Speaker 1 But depending one, I kind of get because he pushed Slay out of bounds, like towards the bench. Like, come on, you know, you're out of bounds.

Speaker 1 But at the end of the day, I kind of like when guys play to the echo of the whistle and play through it. That's what I'm telling my team to do.
That's what I'm telling

Speaker 1 you. I'm not fucking dude.
Like, I'm not,

Speaker 1 I don't like it if I'm the Eagles. But if I'm a coach, I'm telling guys to play to the echo of the whistle, not go at people's heads.
And I don't think that's what that guy was trying to do.

Speaker 1 I don't think he was. Like, you're not trying to hurt people.

Speaker 1 But it's important in football to play. Like, what happens if he doesn't not like nine times out of 10, that's not going to be a concussion.
Like, he's going to hit Devontae hard.

Speaker 1 And what happens if you force a fumble? That's how you play defense. You play until the play is over.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, but

Speaker 1 all that being said, if I'm out there, I'm fucking pissed. I hear you.
Well, hopefully Devontae's doing good today. You hate to see it.
Him and Lane. I hope they're both.

Speaker 1 The head stuff is, you know, it sucks. Next week, the Eagles have the Bucs in Tampa.
The Bucs and Eagles are both two and one. Last time they played was, of course, in the playoffs last season.

Speaker 1 Jason remembers, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 What do you think? The Eagles need to do.

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 1 Asshole. Just fucking throwing daggers at you.
Jason, remember.

Speaker 1 I deserve all the daggers I can get. Bucks and the Eagles are both two and one.
Baker Mayfield over there has them playing pretty good. He is.

Speaker 1 They struggled a little bit this last week to Denver, but yeah. Last time they played was, of course, the playoffs last season.
What do the Eagles need to do to keep this momentum?

Speaker 1 Well, I think they got to try and keep limiting the turnovers. They got to,

Speaker 1 their offense has been great this year. It's like towards the top in like every metric there is.

Speaker 1 And unfortunately, it's towards the top in turnovers. And they got to capitalize on their opportunities.
And they got to play smarter in those situations. And it's

Speaker 1 the one thing right now holding this team back from being a great team, especially offensively, is that. Yeah.
Turnovers will kill you, man. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Everybody knows. I'm stating the obvious.
Yeah. The other thing that I'll be interested to watch is: are Devontae and AJ healthy this week? Like, do we get AJ back? Does Devontae clear protocols?

Speaker 1 I don't know where those guys are at.

Speaker 1 We played the Bucs last year in that playoff game without A.J. Brown.
They

Speaker 1 played like a 6-1 front all game. Like, they're basically playing goal-line defense in the middle of the field.
That is hard to get a run game going against 6-1. You've got to have guys that can win.

Speaker 1 Like, it just is. I'm just being honest.
Like, bro, we got to win some matchups if they're going 6'1, boys. Let's go.
Todd Bowles is going to have some stuff lined up.

Speaker 1 Dude, Todd is, and he's still doing it.

Speaker 1 I respect Todd Bowles so much for the coordinator.

Speaker 1 He is the master. He's doing this.
He's never made my job easy. It sucks.
He has all of these things that he knows he likes.

Speaker 1 He has the corner cats that he likes, especially for teams that are underneath. He has the diamond, the bear front that he likes.
He has the 6-1 front that he likes.

Speaker 1 He has all of these cataloged. He has the AAA blitz where he's going to bring both guys inside the A-gaps with the nose guard head up over the center, shotgun.

Speaker 1 He has all of these things in his arsenal, and he's going to find ways to do it in a different way. But it's like, oh, he's just really doing this.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like, he knows. The biggest thing is, I feel like

Speaker 1 he knows how to slow offenses down week by week. So this week is going to be completely, I want to say completely different, but he's going to, he's going to teach

Speaker 1 us. He's going to have a different

Speaker 1 last week. He's going to have a different mentality against this Eagles' offense.

Speaker 1 And it's going to be different depending on who's available.

Speaker 1 We know one guy is going to have to, he's going to have to try and contain, and that's Saquon Barkley. It is.
It is. He has over 400 yards of offense in three games,

Speaker 1 which is pretty fucking good, if you ask me. And he didn't get going until the second half last week, but once he got going, he was flying in high speeds.

Speaker 1 And that leads us to our LeBron stat of the game against the Saints. And that is Saquon Barkley's five touchdowns are tied for most for an Eagles player in first three games of the season.

Speaker 1 LaShawn McCoy last to do it in 2011. His 351 yards rushing are second most in first three games.
And that's also McCoy who had 395 in 2013. Nice.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Saquon for getting some crazy stats that really don't mean much

Speaker 1 other than he's playing playing really good football. Yeah.
He's balling, and I'm excited to watch this game. Obviously, the playoff game didn't go the Eagles ways.

Speaker 1 Both of these teams are a lot different. Both of them are probably better than they were at the end of last year.
So it'll be fun to watch. That's for Dang Shir.

Speaker 1 Other news around the league week three roundup. After three weeks, there's five remaining undefeated teams.
How about that? Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 Those teams are Steelers, Vikings, Seahawks, Chiefs, and the Bills. Bills probably the most.
Oh, my gosh, Monday night. That was an impressive game by the Bills.
They're rolling right now, man.

Speaker 1 I love what Joe Brady's doing, how much he's moving them around. I talked about the, I love when teams are in shotgun, and Andy does this a lot, too, with these like motions and moving the back.

Speaker 1 Like, it's hard when you're living in shotgun and the back gets too stagnant. It makes it harder on everything.
And they move James Cook all over the place. They're motioning people.

Speaker 1 They lost four of their five receivers from last year. They're spreading the ball around.
And somehow, Josh Allen's playing better. Joe Brady is, it's been very impressive.

Speaker 1 Other teams teams undefeated. The Seahawks leading the NFC West by two games.
Who would have thunk? 49ers 1-2.

Speaker 1 Rams 1-2. The Seahawks have, I mean, they just blew out a Dolphins team that's obviously hurting without Tua.

Speaker 1 But needless to say, I don't think anybody through the first three games expected the Seahawks to be leading that division. The other one that's a little bit unexpected, not on defense.

Speaker 1 The Steelers' defense has been unbelievable. The last...

Speaker 1 I mean, ever since Tomlinson's there, they have been able to hang their head on that, especially with TJ Watts healthy. Big Cam Hayward's clogging up the middle.
They're 3-0.

Speaker 1 They're still playing great defense. The difference is now they're having a quarterback in Justin Fields who's playing better than he's ever played.
Is it Arthur Smith?

Speaker 1 Maybe it's just a new scenery, man. Sometimes you just change the scenery, man.
Get the thing. Whatever it is.
I can't say that it's not Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 You heard him give him the game ball last week when they beat Denver. Who knows

Speaker 1 how close that group is and

Speaker 1 how Russell's been able to influence Justin and how he's playing.

Speaker 1 It's probably a mixture of it all, if I were to assume something. But

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 he's playing lights out and he's making the Steelers a fun team to watch, man. A lot of big plays.
He's playing the way you should play.

Speaker 1 Their defense is so good.

Speaker 1 You don't got to be a game manager, but don't do anything stupid. Don't go out there and lose the game.
You can tell he's playing more poise. He's playing more controlled.

Speaker 1 It's been impressive for Justin Fields, especially this last week. Sam Darnold.
Yeah. What the heck is going on with the Vikings? Dude, Sam is a fucking dog.

Speaker 1 I've been pretty high on Sam. I know he had his woes in Carolina and whatnot.
I've been a huge fan of Sam Darnold. I think he's got great instincts.
I think he's got a big arm.

Speaker 1 I think he's a smart player. And I always thought he was a gamer.
I thought he was a gamer when he was at USC. You are not the first person who's told me this.

Speaker 1 I've heard this from coaches and other players around the league. There have been a lot of people that have always thought Sam Darnold was a good quarterback, just waiting for the right opportunity.

Speaker 1 And he's getting it this year with the Vikings. But the real story outside of what, I mean, it's on both sides.
Their offense has been unbelievable.

Speaker 1 Uh, Kevin O'Connell and Sam Donald have been a matchmate in heaven, but defensively, I mean, Brian Flores, he's like putting quarterbacks in like the Twilight Zone.

Speaker 1 Like, they just look like you see Brock Purdy go up to him after the game, like telling him his scheme's crazy. You see CJ Stroud on the sideline, like a deer in headlights.

Speaker 1 He is doing stuff right now on the back end and up front, mixing in dime personnel. He's playing a lot of too high.
He's blitzing a lot.

Speaker 1 He's splitzing with soft zone coverages where like you think you can take a shot. It's just

Speaker 1 a lot of really good DBs. They have guys that can do multiple things on defense.
Their linebackers are fast as hell. They're very good in coverage.
They can also hit the gaps.

Speaker 1 They got a lot of like just great players and they fit that scheme right now. If they stay healthy, they're going to be a problem, especially if Sammy Deeken keeps slinging the thing around like that.

Speaker 1 That was happy. We played him early last year.
It felt like they were still finding the rhythm with Brian, but Ivan Pace Jr., dude, he was a rookie last year out of Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 Cincinnati's finest, baby. Like a little bobcat.
I was like, dude, what is this dude? I can't get my hands on him. Me neither.
And when I do, he's like going, I'm like, what is happening right now?

Speaker 1 It was the same thing. I had the same reaction when I was playing against him, man.
I couldn't get my fucking hands inside of him, man. Fast dude, plays well, plays low.
Yes.

Speaker 1 It's like awkward to block him.

Speaker 1 Good player, man. Good job.
Playing lights out for Florida's defense right now. Have everybody on the Vikings.

Speaker 1 Who's more impressive right now? The Vikings or what the Bills did? They might be the most impressive through three weeks, huh? What do you think? Neck and neck, yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, when you watch them on film, you're like, okay, this is

Speaker 1 early season, going well for them.

Speaker 1 They're playing well together. Sounds fun.
And also, just as everybody expected, Andy Dalton is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Speaker 1 I mean, Andy Dalton, I can't say enough good things about him. The guy won me a free car.

Speaker 1 I've known this for years. I think, what was it, 2017, 2018 Pro Bowl down in Orlando? Yes.

Speaker 1 I think we threw the ball like fucking 10 times and Andy Dalton threw it twice to me for a whopping 30 yards and a touchdown. He threw a deep cross to me.

Speaker 1 And yeah, I walked away with the offensive MVP of that game. And when you win the offensive MVP, you win a free car.

Speaker 1 Still got that on DiGenesis, actually. I thought you were giving that to Anne Judy.
You never gave that to Anne Judy? No, she didn't want it. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Anne Judy. A hell of a game by Andy.
I mean,

Speaker 1 what more do you want? 300 yards, three touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Only player in the NFL this season with 300 passing yards and three

Speaker 1 passing TDs in a single game. So

Speaker 1 he's doing something right over there. I think Coach Canalis had the last laugh.
I think they faced a lot of

Speaker 1 people really trashing the Panthers, me included, last week. You know, it's like, I don't know that anybody's going to be successful there.
They just don't have a lot of the pieces.

Speaker 1 They don't have a lot of the thing. Yada, yada, yada.

Speaker 1 A got my face. Andy Dalton goes out there, has 319 yards, three touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Turns out he was better to go out there and play,

Speaker 1 as coach had stated. Ian Rapperpole reported the Panthers are expected to start Bryce Young again this season with the benching of the number one pick viewed as a break or timeout more than anything.

Speaker 1 They believe he can still be the guy.

Speaker 1 I don't know that I believe that tweet i mean what do you want a guy to do you want him to just start him if andy dalton isn't going for 300 yards and three tutties every single game like what that doesn't make any sense i mean i get you want to keep the guy's you know confidence and not give up on him completely but you can't state that you're gonna start him again like because if andy dalton keeps playing like this why the would you start him That's why this doesn't read right to me.

Speaker 1 It's like you can't say like he's going to start again this season. That's a weird.
That's a weird thing. Right.
If I'm Andy Dalton, I'm like. Time out.
I just balled out.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 And maybe it

Speaker 1 got reported. Maybe it got reported weird from Rapapore.
I understand them saying, you know, we still believe in him. We're just giving him some space and time to get better potentially.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But this reads more, because of the way it's worded, it reads more like, hey, we're going to preserve this guy's trade value because we don't want anybody else to think we've given up on him.

Speaker 1 And that's what it sounds like, right?

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 You can't seriously say we're going to start him for sure again this season with Andy Dalton going out and doing that, unless they don't believe in Andy either. I believe in Andy.

Speaker 1 There were a couple of wild finishes in the late afternoon slate. Rams got their first win of the season with an incredible 27-24 comeback win against the 49ers.
21-7 midway through the third quarter.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, Matthew Stafford, he can still sling it as good as anybody, man.
Anybody.

Speaker 1 my dog, DeMarcus Robinson, out there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Roland, baby.
D-Rob. Fuck, I love D-Rob.
I miss that guy, man.

Speaker 1 This is a crazy game, too. With all the injuries that both of those teams have had, it was almost like the preseason week three game, half of the roster was out there starting for both teams.

Speaker 1 Like, all of the star players have been just like decimated. Not on the Niners' defense.

Speaker 1 That's true. Niners' defense still

Speaker 1 has the horse is moving. The Rams' offensive line is hurt.
Their skill positions are down. I mean, it's

Speaker 1 for them to persevere and come back 21 to 7.

Speaker 1 Pretty sure Sean McVay was pretty happy with that one. Ravens also narrowly escaped a crazy Cowboys comeback.
We talked about this a little bit on the Monday night show.

Speaker 1 The Ravens, when they're playing well, they are so good.

Speaker 1 They let them back in with just, again, penalties and, you know, kind of just being undisciplined. This should not have been a close game.

Speaker 1 The difference is this time, they got the ball back with a four-minute four-minute drill, and Lamar Jackson called game. Like, he just was like, Yeah, I'm done messing around.

Speaker 1 Boom, but a bang, but a bab. Game over.
See ya. Derrick Henry finally got going.
151 yards, two touchdowns. Jerry Jones was asked why the Cowboys didn't pursue him.
He said we couldn't afford him.

Speaker 1 That's a good reason not to pursue him. Jerry Jones, that's a good reason.

Speaker 1 I think that's why probably a lot of people didn't pursue him. But

Speaker 1 it worked out. this last game.
Cowboys got to figure out the run defense. It's the second week in a row.
They've been run on kind of at will by both teams.

Speaker 1 Either way, it was an impressive performance with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. I think that's about it, Trev.
Unless you got anything else to add. Yeah, that does it.
No-dumb questions.

Speaker 1 Let's wrap up the show, as always, with a little bit of no-dumb questions. And there's a lot of little no-dumb questions.
All right, first up on the no-dumb questions from EV23 on Club 92.

Speaker 1 In a recent press conference leading up to the week two game, Matt Nagy said Noah Gray is a U tight end and a Y tight end. What does that mean?

Speaker 1 Is Travis Kelsey the same? What do the letters mean? And he mentions two tight end stuff. Does that mean in the routes play? What's he talking about? From Australia,

Speaker 1 new to the NFL, we'd say footy. I think that's what they call Australian football.

Speaker 1 And a Swifty. So you'll have to explain it like I'm five.
Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. So,

Speaker 1 yeah. Tight ends.
Typically, in an offense like ours, we typically have one tight end out there, and he is the Y when we're installing plays. So every wide receiver has a letter or a certain call.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we have a zebra, we have a Z, we have a F, we have

Speaker 1 an X. The Zebra and the U tight end are essentially the same player.
We just swap out. players.
We swap out a wide receiver for a tight end.

Speaker 1 So when there's two tight ends on the field, you have your wide tight end, which is your primary tight end. He's typically, he's the inline guy.

Speaker 1 He's the guy that's going to to have his hand in the ground when there's a two-tight end set. But when there's one tight end on the field, the Y tight end,

Speaker 1 you're just the tight end. Yeah, it's the only tight end on the field.
It's the only tight end on the field. So you can have your hand in the ground.
You could be up and

Speaker 1 the thing about tight end is that it doesn't matter whether you're the Y or the U, you're interchangeable. You can be anywhere on the field in this offense specifically.

Speaker 1 Correct me if I'm wrong, but sometimes even like play-specific, if they want you to be a specific tight end, you might be the U or the why, or do they always make the formation specific to the you and the why?

Speaker 1 Because we'll do that, especially like red zone stuff where you're getting these crazy formations.

Speaker 1 Like it's like, hey, this person's the why on this one, he's the F on this one, but you just kind of know where to line up. Yeah, I'm going to try and explain it like they're five.
Like they're five.

Speaker 1 Good point. Shut up, Jason.

Speaker 1 The Y tight end is

Speaker 1 the main tight end. And when I say main tight end, it's when they're calling the play, it helps

Speaker 1 organize

Speaker 1 the formations and everything like that, the strength of formations and just where guys line up. It's not necessarily that one guy does something better than the other.

Speaker 1 Noah Gray can block just as well as he can run routes. You know, he can run block or pass block just as well as he can run routes against big guys or little guys.
And it's the same with myself.

Speaker 1 It's the same with Jared Wiley. I think

Speaker 1 the fun about playing in this kind of offense in Kansas City is that the tight end gets to do everything. And that's all I think Coach Nagy's saying right here is that Noah Gray can do it all.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what he's saying. He can do it all.

Speaker 1 We have Noah lined up at fullback, tight end, and split out in a wide receiver position. We have him doing everything because of how hard the guy works and how good he is at playing football.

Speaker 1 And I think when Nagy's talking about he's the U tight end and the wide tight end, he's just talking about we can move him all over the place and still have success.

Speaker 1 I'm not sure if my five-year-old can understand that. Yeah, I know that I'm going to not talk about it because I obviously can't explain to a five-year-old because I'm a dumbass.

Speaker 1 From at bar22 on Twitter, what is or are your guilty pleasures shows?

Speaker 1 Something you're slightly embarrassed to admit? Embarrassed to admit. What am I embarrassed that I watch? I'm not embarrassed that I watch any of it.
I don't care. Right.
Kid, judge me.

Speaker 1 I like what I like. Yeah, it is what it is.
What is there? What would I be embarrassed about? I used to not tell everybody that I watched Gossip Girl growing up. You watch Gossip Girl?

Speaker 1 You should be embarrassed.

Speaker 1 Dude, it's so good, though. Dude, if you watch it,

Speaker 1 you can get in deep.

Speaker 1 Are you talking about Gilmore Girls? What show is Gossip Girls? Gossip Girls.

Speaker 1 Gosh, my God, Chase Crawford, Blake Lively.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Nice.

Speaker 1 Shoot me, but I forget the rest of the names of the cast.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's awesome.

Speaker 1 It's like a New York high school show with a lot of drama and basically everybody gossiping and talking shit on each other, which leads me to my new favorite show out right now and that's traders dude have you seen traders jason i i checked it out because they were talking about it yesterday yeah i was watching with mom and uncle don because they were in town last week after the monday night game oh nice yeah they came for the eagles game which which episode did you watch the we watched season one i haven't seen season two yet i know i didn't even watch season one i just went straight to season two I'm excited after your recommendation.

Speaker 1 But season one, dude. So I've played that game.
I actually played that game climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, so I'm familiar with it.

Speaker 1 It wasn't called Traders, we called it Mafia, but it's the same premise. Explain what Traders is.
Oh, so anyways, basically, a group of people,

Speaker 1 Traders, Mafia, whatever you want to call it. You start with a group of people.

Speaker 1 A certain amount are going to be declared

Speaker 1 bad guys of the group. Those bad guys are anonymous.
And it is the group's job to find out which people are the bad guys or the traders in this show. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you do that by playing mind games, observing people's body language, accusing people, and slowly you kind of reveal information about through people because people are, some people are good at lying and some people suck at lying.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Put them on the hot seat, baby.
Every time,

Speaker 1 every round, and for this, for traders, it's like every episode.

Speaker 1 It's going to start with the bad guys killing somebody, or it's going to to start with the good guys voting who they think the trader is.

Speaker 1 That person is going to be kicked off, and they're going to say, hey, I'm either a good guy or a bad guy.

Speaker 1 So you know how many of the bad guys, well, I guess in this show you didn't, but usually you know how many bad guys are left.

Speaker 1 After that happens, the bad guys decide that they're going to off somebody, kill them. Yeah.
And then that person doesn't show back up to the show.

Speaker 1 Every round, the traders are getting rid of somebody, and every round, the group is getting rid of somebody, and it keeps going, and the group wins.

Speaker 1 If they find all the traders the traders win if one of them is remaining at the end it's a hell of a show i i i absolutely love it i've only seen season two i heard season one is just as good there's also that one there's also a british version see now i'm going to be caught up in that yeah and that british version is just like kind of just like not familiar faces like the american version that everybody's like a familiar face in the american version i didn't know i'll be honest the american version season one was all like reality stars i didn't know a single person other than ryan lockney that was the only person i was familiar with on the show season two is similar.

Speaker 1 There's a there's a few others, but for the most part, it's reality TV game shows. Yeah, Big Brother was a bunch of them, apparently, in season one.
The Challengers, uh,

Speaker 1 CT, my guy Johnny Bananas are in there. What? They're in the second season? Yeah.
Oh, I can't wait to watch the second season. That's gonna be way better.

Speaker 1 But the woman that won season one, I can't remember her name again, not wanting to be in a relationship with her. She is playing circles with these people.

Speaker 1 Right? Well, we just got from interim Brandon. He highly recommends the British version, which is actually Kylie and I's favorite show, is a British show.
What's two British shows, actually?

Speaker 1 I guess we just like British shows. Well, which ones? Great British Bake Off.
Every time a new season comes out, we sit down and we watch that. I mean, it's fantastic.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And Taskmaster. Highly recommend Taskmaster.
It's on YouTube. It's also on the BBC, I think, but I don't have, I don't know if I, I don't know how that works.

Speaker 1 So I just watch it on YouTube, but really good. On that one,

Speaker 1 they kind of give them a bunch of like stupid things to do. It works out for me because I got ADHD.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But they give them a bunch of stupid activities to do, and then a bunch of funny people just do stupid stuff. And then they make fun of each other, and then they just have a good time.

Speaker 1 Dude, you would fucking crush it on traders. Traders? I'm terrible.
When I was on the mountain, I can't lie. You know that.

Speaker 1 I'm an awful liar. Yeah, but sometimes using that to your advantage.
But I'm not savvy enough. I'm just letting you know.

Speaker 1 Every time we're at the mountain, we did it one time, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. I was the voted, they right away, they knew.
They're like, Jason's a traitor. And I was like, no, I'm not.

Speaker 1 And they're like, no, I'm not. It's hilarious.
But it is funny to see everyone have to defend themselves when the entire table is pointing at them saying they're a traitor.

Speaker 1 And to see how someone reacts under pressure. I fucking love it.
And sometimes people just fucking fold.

Speaker 1 I'm taking notes. There's some people that say some stuff where you're like, wow.
Yeah. That's a good one.
And honestly, I just want to play the game.

Speaker 1 Like, it's a show that I think I would have fun with. We're all going to KC for Thanksgiving because you guys play Friday night, right? For Amazon? Jason, yeah, I'm playing football.

Speaker 1 I'm not worried about playing Traders.

Speaker 1 No, but after the game, we can play Mafia.

Speaker 1 If I win, I'm in.

Speaker 1 Jesus. Andy, can you please get this guy going so that I can fucking play Mafia with Travis?

Speaker 1 I do think I'd be better as a Faithful, but I think that I could. Trav, you would be good in either one of them.

Speaker 1 I think I could. If you can be a lead actor in a FX original series.
A lead actor is a fucking stretch. Get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 Lead actor.

Speaker 1 Nisi is the lead. All right.
All right. Yeah.
Well, a lead, not the lead, a lead.

Speaker 1 Whatever.

Biodome?

Speaker 1 There's no way that movie is good anymore. There's no way.
All right. I was kind of getting hyped for it.
I mean, I'll watch it.

Speaker 1 Hi, Jason. It's not going to be good, though.
Jason did a fucking review on Twilight.

Speaker 1 That's a good point. What if we just reviewed it? Oh, it's a classic.
That's a classic, but Biodome isn't.
