I think commies.
As well as the rest of the biggest story lines from across the NFL in week 11. But before we We're going to get started, we're going to start with a little bit of that new news.
This new news is something that Wyatt is going to be happy to find out.
What? This news is brought to you by Moana 2. That's right.
Moana 2 is coming to theaters, November 27th.
I can't believe it.
It's exciting.
Moana is fantastic. One of the things I really like about Moana is that it's like, I don't know. It feels like in a world where a lot of these stories just get remade, Moana was an original. I think the lead character is a powerful female that I really like. The music's great. The rock kills it. Maui is a fantastic character. But there's also not like, the bad guy ends up being the same as the good guy in the movie. I don't know what Moana 2 is about, but the first one was about really just being good to the land and Mother Nature fighting back against really monocultures of coconuts, I think. Anyways. Yeah, Moana 2, coming November 27th. Can't wait to see what this one's about. And if Tafiti is back to needs of the heart. What was it? What was it missing again? The heart? Something heart. God damn it. The Heart of Tafiti.
Be good to the land.
Anyways, Mama Kelsey, new news. Mama Kelsey acting debut. That's right.
Mama Donna.
Mama Kelsey is going to make her acting debut next Saturday. That's right. Next Saturday, November 30th. What? In holiday Touchdown, A Chief's Love Story on the Hallmark channel. Got to admit, I have not seen a lot of Hallmark movies. I'm excited to watch this one.
Mama Kelsey's She owns a barbecue joint.
That's right. She's a manager of a barbecue restaurant. Mom can cook a lot of things. I don't think she's ever made barbecue.
She's never made barbecue for us. No.
Not even barbecue sauce. I don't even remember that being a thing that mom would do. That was dad's deal.
Dad was like, Yeah, leave the barbecue to me. I'll make the sauce at home. I think it's good enough to sell.
You remember that dad wanted to sell his own barbecue sauce? He did. Mom was like, Ed, we can't mortgage our entire financial savings because you want to sell your barbecue sauce. That barbecue sauce was really good, though.
It was fucking great.
I've had it again. It doesn't taste... I don't know if dad didn't write down the recipe right. I feel like sometimes when you're finagling stuff just off the fly, off the cuff, you nail it.
That's good.
I also like, we tried to recreate it. We tried to recreate it, and he gave me the list, and I expected it to be like a- Big head.
He's a Kelsi. He's finagling everything.
He gave me this barbecue sauce recipe, and I was going to try and make it. It was like fourth of July or something like that. And I was expecting it to be like, Oh, you got these spices, these herbs, like brown sugar.
K ketchup, brown sugar.
This thing is nothing but other sauces and other condiments combined to make one sauce. I'm like, Dude, you can't.
He scammed us all.
You just went to the- He just had Sweet Baby Ray's mixed with fucking Dude, he just went to the- Hey, man, this shit's good as hell.
No wonder.
He went to the Fountain Coke machine at McDonald's and just mixed a bunch of them together.
I got my own sauce. I'm not going to lie. Shit. That's how you got fucking vanilla Coke. That's how you got fucking, you know what I mean?
All I know is it was good. And dad was on to something. In another world- He figured it out.
Big Ed's barbecue sauce could have been a thing, maybe. Yeah. And the word around town was Big Ed could fucking make some wings, man.
He could make wings. Everybody loved those wings.
Everybody. The original Kelsey mix.
Yeah, check out November 27th, as we said. Mom's first acting debut is hitting the big screens. Well, TV screens. I think those go straight to TVs.
I don't think that goes to the theater. Yeah, I think they go straight to the theater.
But you can't see Moana, too, in theaters.
All right, now. Jason debuts Santa Drive's in the Astrovan. That's right. Yeah, baby. How did it feel being up on stage, big guy?
Well, my voice was gone. I I lost my voice the previous week.
Oh, you fucking. We talked about this.
Yeah, I was really nervous.
You didn't do our remedy?
I tried. I think I had about... I probably had more honey than Winnie the Pooh throughout the whole evening.
See, you went the honey route. You went the wrong route.
I did tea and honey. It was both.
See, you went tea. You can't... Jason, did you hear anything I said? You didn't fucking listen to anything I said, and you still had a raspy voice. You tried to go the fucking... You're so ridiculous.
Between this and then trying to film something else.
I could not see this. Can we turn the sound off for a second while Jason's shaking his little shaker, little banana shaker? Oh, yeah.
Everybody, mute your computer now. Everybody, mute.
I love your face It's really spread. It's like, here we go.
I'm so nervous right now.
Sorry, I'm not sorry.
There's a hole to grow.
All the ones I miss the most, the best ones, ain't coming home. That's good. Nice. With my love, I never miss you, so reaching out for the freedom of no.
Every rain has elus.
I've been ever what it seems. Nice, man. I love right before you get on the mic, you're looking at everyone like, Here it goes. Here it goes.
Sorry for ruining the song, everybody.
We'll get through this, though. We'll get through this together and enjoy the rest of this song?
I did a... I could not sing. It was so bad. You just got to go. The honey did not help.
But you should have fucking just chug some Jack Daniels before you walked up there.
Everyone, I would encourage you to listen to the actual recording where I sound much better because my voice is not horse. But no, it was an awesome experience. It was really cool to be a part of. Mount Joy is The fact that they lent their time and energy to this effort was fantastic. Yeah, I don't know. The Eagles fans made it special. There was enough energy already because it was the biggest game of the year for the Philadelphia Eagles. So it was just an awesome evening of music and football.
Does it feel weird? You've done this the past three years. Does it feel weird doing a lot for Christmas, not in December?
It does feel a little weird, but you have to do the lead up to it. You have to stay ahead of it. But you know me, I've always loved Christmas. We've always loved Christmas. Listen, the previous two albums, we've raised over $4 million for- God damn. 50 different charitable organizations Because people have supported the album and bought it and appreciated it. It makes it a lot easier to do when you know that it's going to make a huge impact in your community.
Santa drives an Astro van, ladies and gentlemen. Live at The Link. The third and final record in the Philadelphia Special Christmas Trilogy is out now, so make sure you guys go and check that out.
Please support. We've had a lot of support in the past, and we're trying to do it even bigger this year. We have aspirations to do a lot of amazing things for the community. The only reason we're able to do any of that is because people support the album. It's turned into this wonderful Philadelphia thing that I think just is fun. We have an Operation Snowball we're trying to execute on this year. I haven't even told I don't even know anybody about this yet. I don't even know if I'm allowed to share this, but our goal this year, Operation Snowball, is a citywide special initiative to try and get a gift to every kid in the Philly public schools. So we're partnering with the Philadelphia Public School System, as well as some other organizations in the city and people in the private sector to try and get gifts to every single school for the kids throughout Philadelphia, which is a lot of kids. And the only reason we're able to do that is because the city supports it. People buy the album, they listen to the album. But more importantly, and I really felt this from the moment I got to Philadelphia, it's really just such a city entrenched with pride and joy for itself.
The sense of community and family is so strong. It is very strong. I don't know that it would be done anywhere else, but I think we're going to be able to pull it off with how much the community is willing to support it. So we appreciate you guys. Really excited to bring some joy around the holidays to everyone out there. And, yeah, thanks for supporting.
Jason broke a world record Record. Hey. How about that? Last piece of new news here. Jason is now officially a world record holder. How about that, Jason? Guinness Book of World Records. You made it, kid. On Monday Night Countdown, Jason attended to break two world records The longest blindfolded catch of a football, which- That did not go well. Did not go well at all. Was this inspired by the sun at AT&T Stadium?
I don't know.
All of these things- The peaking through the glass.
I think it was just Dude Perfect set up a lot of these games, and they were like, Hey, you're not going to catch this ball, but it's going to look hilarious. So I was like, All right, I'm game. So they actually pulled off. They hold the world record, I think, for long as-Oh, right in the fucking clavicle. Right in the jugular.
We got to keep our hands up.
I felt like it was a lot closer than what it just looked like.
No, I mean, how long did they say it was?
It looks like a good 30, 40 yards. That one was over 40 yards. The longest hot dog was right around 60 yards.
Somebody threw a hot dog 60 yards? From Dude Perfect, he can throw a hot dog 60 yards.
Dude, so he had a good little arm on him, and we got downwind. We had to switch sides, so the hot dog would make it down there.
Give this guy a fucking scholarship, man. Fuck.
Motherfucking scholarship.
Dude, this is goddamn good. The longest throwing catch of a hot dog into a bun. Nice. So he was just throwing naked wieners, and you were catching them in the bun.
In my bun. Oh, yeah. That's right.
Were they toasting?
In my bun.
I know you're a big toasting bun guy.
My bun loose and lubricated and ready to receive that wiener. Jesus. Perfect catch.
I'm going to say, those hot dogs- Where's one three plus content when you need it?
Dude, those hot dogs at Jerry World are fucking ridiculous. They are the girth on those hot dogs. And then we did another one where he actually ate the hot dog.
Yeah, I saw that.
There was no filler. It was disgusting. It was cold. It was absolutely gross.
Now you know exactly what I'm talking about. That's every hot dog. You just finally came to realization.
This one just It had a consistency to it that was like... You know hot dogs have filler in it? It's not all meat.
The entire thing is filler.
But I think that one was so...
It's a filled-up condom.
It was too high quality of a hot dog. I think I found out through eating that hot dog that I like cheap hot dogs. If it's too nice of a hot dog, it's like... It was a bad hot dog.
A gourmet glizzie? You were catching gourmet glizzie. I don't know what it was. You were catching gourmet glizzies?
It was thick. As soon as I bit into it, I was like, What in the hell?
Honestly, Honestly, dude, a hot dog eating contest might be a nightmare. I think I've actually woken up in a dead sweat out of sleep one time because I was in a hot dog eating contest against my will.
You had a nightmare? A hot dog eating A mayonnaise nightmare?
Dude, just the smell and just your stuffing yourself until you have to vomit. And then I already have to vomit because of the text.
Have you ever had a mayonnaise eating contest nightmare?
No, nobody would ever do that.
Dude, that's the real thing.
No, it's not.
Brandon, find a mayonnaise eating contest and put it on this fucking screen right now.
I don't want to do that. I just got fucking chills.
Mayonnaise eating contest.
I just got chills. I did have lunch, Jason. I don't want to do this.
Dude, I've seen it. People have eaten five jars and shit. Look at this.
All right, that's all I had to see. I just wanted to see if it was real.
I don't want to watch it. I'm about to throw up two. Dude, what the fuck? That is so gross. Oh, God. I'm not getting off the screen. Dude, it's so bad.
I don't want to watch it anymore.
Dude, I don't even get queezy, and this is disgusting. It looks like I'm tricking myself in thinking she's eating I'm going to close this. In my head, I'm like, Okay, it's actually vanilla pudding. That's the only way I can be comfortable is fooling myself.
Even that, the texture is disgusting. Oh, my gosh.
That is so gross. Oh, get it out of here. I like that she just shook her. Can we just fast forward to the end? How many does she get through?
It doesn't matter. That's just foul. Gosh. That's just foul.
She's going back?
This is fear factor, man. That's so much man. Dude, I'm sweating now.
Gosh. Why is this so… I watch hot dog eating contests all day and not get grossed out. There's something just so repulsive about this. Can I just point out that- I'm in a dead sweat.
Can you get it off the screen? This is like nails on a chalkboard to me, dude. I can't look up in fucking… All right. Me and Akunna is fucking just housing fucking mayonnaise, dude. This is disgusting.
Five jars of mayonnaise in three minutes.
What the fuck was that? You just put me on a roller coaster, Brandon. I feel like I just fucking got tossed around the room, man. God damn it.
Maybe now you'll have a nightmare about that. Man, that's really gross.
That was so unsightful.
For everyone on audio that is not watching this on YouTube, I highly recommend you do not go and watch that. What was her name again? Michelle Leszko?
Michelle Leszko.
Do yourself a favor and do not watch that clip.
And that does it for new news brought to you by Moana 2 in Theater, November 27th. How about that? All right, now, 92 percenters, you guys know we love NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV, and we're excited to have them as a sponsor for today's episode.
Yeah, it's already week 12, Trev, and we've got some great games coming up this weekend, including a bunch of division rivalry I'm fired up to watch. Luckily, it comes with multi-view, so I can watch four games at once.
Well, I'm going to be playing at one o'clock Eastern on Sunday. But Jason, who are you putting on your multi-view?
Yeah, they're all going to go Chiefs Panthers for obvious reasons. Probably go Lynes Colts because I really like watching the Lynes play. Former Officer Coordinator, Shane Steiken. Probably go Cowboys Commanders just because it's NFC East. And then Vikings bears, Indivision game. Vikings have looked really Good. Interested to see if they can continue to look like the team they have.
Remember, right now, you can get the Thanksgiving sale price of NFL Sunday ticket for just $89 when you sign up today. We're racing to the playoffs, and that price won't last long.
Offer ends December second. No cancelations, terms, restrictions, and embargoes apply. All righty, I'm excited to talk about our next partner, Disney's Moana 2. Heck, yeah, baby. That's right. Moana 2 is coming to theaters near you on November 27th.
Jason, are the girls big Moana fans? How many times have you guys watch this thing? Is it an every week deal or what?
They've always been big Moana fans. More importantly, Moana is one of the ones that Kylie and I can watch. It's just really well done. The music is really good. It's a unique movie. I'm also happy that it's a newer movie that was unique and it embraces culture. Man, they do a good job. They do a good job over at Disney. But yeah, either way, I'm fired about Moana 2. Very fired up. I also hear that in Moana 2, she goes on an even bigger adventure than in the first film. And guess what, Trev? That comes with some new characters and songs.
Now, right now, and apparently, there's a new song called Beyond from the movie, which is supposed to be pretty electric. Check it out, 92%ers. Plus, there's a hilarious dynamic between Moana and Maui, played by Dwyane The Rock Johnson. All right, now, and continues in this new story.
That's right, Trev. You guys aren't going to want to miss this one. Make sure you take the whole family to see Moana 2 in Theater's, November 27th.
Again, that's November 27th.
Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first.
Just like you know to check if you packed your headphones before you get on the plane for an away game.
Or to check if you put gas in the car before you head out on a family road trip with three kids and two Irish Wolfhounds.
Yeah, and checking first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds, maybe even thousands. You're in good hands with Allstate.
Savings vary. Terms apply. Allstate Fire and casualty The Insurance Company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. All right, bold topics to wrap up week 11 in the NFL. Chiefs recap. Let's get into it, Trav. Bills 30, Chiefs 21. Great game. It was a fun game to watch. Did not turn out the best for the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Bills played a great four-quarter football game. Turnover early, got the ball at half. Possessions, didn't have a lot of them. They were doing a good job of keeping our offense off the field, putting together drives. Hard to do against Kansas City. Keep Pat Mahomes off the football field, man.
Absolutely. It was impressive.
They were converting third down, something that I think we didn't do a great job of. They won their one-on one matchups in a lot of different areas. It wasn't just in terms of the wide receiver DB one-on-one matchups. I think it was all over the board and back to the drawing board for sure. I think it was a nice, I don't want to call it a wake-up call because we went into that game knowing that the Bills were one of the top teams in the football in the NFL. Sometimes you just need a different perspective on things. And watching this game back, you see a trend happening over the past three to four weeks. And you just got to finetune things, get back to the basics, get back to the fundamentals, and really just get back to going to work throughout the week. I have all the confidence in the world We'll be better because of this game. But at the same time, hats off to the Bills for showing up, man. Yeah.
I have a feeling this is not going to be the last game the Kansas City Chiefs and Bills played this season. And kudos to the Bills. They played great. Josh Allen played fantastic. We were saying, they sustained a lot of drives. And the Kansas City defense has been so good. And the defense didn't play bad. It was more like the Bills just made plays at the right time. Josh played great. This was two really good teams going up against each other. And the biggest play of the game, obviously, Pat is so good down the stretch of the ball in his hands, and he did it. The drive right before Buffalo scores their last countdown, you guys drive down and bring the game within two points. And McDdermon and the Bills have a decision on fourth down with two yards to either pun it or try and retain possession. And the last thing I think anybody thought was that Josh Allen was going to scramble and score a countdown on the play. But I think that aggression is what you have to do.
If you give me A, B, or C, I'm saying Josh Allen is doing something with his feet.
Yeah, that's fair.
Josh Allen. I mean, they were on quarterback power. They were like, Yeah, let's put it in Superman's hands.
Yeah, no doubt. And he executed it to perfection. That's what they had to do. I think that they knew if they would have given that ball back to Pat, it's out of our hands. And they decided to be aggressive and take control of it, and it paid off. Man, look at how Karloff just was so close. If he- George. Either way, it was an awesome game. You could see the intensity out there from both teams because obviously, you guys have played a lot of meaningful football games against each other. Let's get some postgame thoughts. Mahomes, you can use it as fuel. That's a good football football team, so it's nothing to hang your head about. We feel like we can play better, so we'll get back to work and try to use it as a spark to be a better football team in the end. The undefeated thing was cool, but that's not our ultimate goal. I love this. And I think that this is all you can do. You take losses or you take things that you're not operating at the right level or where you want to be at, and you try and become better from it.
The Bills are a great football team. They are. They're one of the best football teams in the NFL this year, and they're going to be able to win any football game they're in, especially with the guy they got playing quarterback and the team they've assembled. And it's an experience that will ultimately make the Kansas City Chiefs better from moving forward. I really believe that. Andy Reid, on the undefeated talk, going away, potentially being a relief for his team. He said, I don't really care about all that crap. How much were you guys hearing of the undefeated stuff? Because it feels like there's this narrative out there that that was potentially in your head. I find that hard to believe that you guys were even thinking about that.
You don't think about, Oh, I really want to win this game so I could remain a defeated. No, we want to win this game because we have a lot of really close football games against the Buffalo Bills, and we love fucking competing against them because they're one of the best teams in the league. I get fired up playing against the best. You want to kill the advantage in the playoffs.
Yeah.
I get fired up playing against the best teams in the National Football League, and I was fired up for this one, and I didn't play my best. And that shit fucking It pisses me off, and it made me go right back into work on Monday after the game and get after it and find a way to make shit right. I think this is something that you won't see out of us in the future. I think we're very confident that we'll get the things fixed. We have all the talent that we need to go and win another Super Bowl. I've been on Super Bowl winning teams. We have enough talent to fucking make a run at this thing, and I think everybody knows that. All we got to do is just be at our best. And that's what we were not for four quarters. There wasn't a single quarter that it was like, Oh, yeah, we outplayed them. We got them on that. No, they were out there. They had a little bit more idea of what we were doing, and they were fundamentally more sound in a lot of different areas. I put that on myself to be more fun, to harp on the fundamentals throughout practice, make sure I'm getting out there and I'm running around.
I'm not just going through the plays, make sure I'm focused, make sure I get the timing down with the quarterback so that we're on time for Pat, and Pat can be confident in throwing the football where it needs to go. A lot of this shit is just very fixable, and I got all the faith in the world in this team. Obviously, I focus on the offensive side, but I got all the faith in the world in Spax and that defense to get it right as well.
Andy had a similar message to rookies and newcomers, and really the whole team, I'm sure. You got to dig in. This should hurt. You spend a lot of time and effort preparing sharing for these games as coaches and players. You have to figure out these problems and work to solve them. You can't just say everything's going to be okay, that's how this works. You have to check the ego at the door and do some self-eval, which I think he's clearly saying, similar to what you're saying is, Listen, we've been We're supposed to lose in some games for the last couple of weeks, and now we finally have lost one. It's time to really focus on what we need to get better at.
I don't give a fuck how your body's feeling. I don't give a fuck where your mentality is off the field. When you step in that building, we are here to to figure shit out, and we are here to get better as football players for the football team. I think that is a mentality going forward that everybody has to be a part of, top down. I think myself included, I got to be the leader that I've been in the past and hold myself accountable so that everybody sees how it's done and knowing that we got a lot of new faces and a lot of rookies and whatnot. Sometimes you just need that smack in the face. It is what it is. Sometimes you need a smack in the face to be able to- You're punching the mouth. Yeah, to lock in and know that it's any given Sunday type league. And not saying that that team was just any other team, but I do believe we have better players, and we If I could get another shot at that team, I'd definitely get excited about it.
Well, Leo Chanel shared that he and his teammates plan to use their first loss as motivation with the three-word phrase, Remember the feeling. Offensive bright spots. Mahomes He's got the ball to 11 different players. Guard, Mike Caliendo caught a spread out to convert a third down.
This one got me fired up, man. Oh, yeah? That one got me fired up, man. Caliendo is one of those guys. Right now, he's number six on the O-line. So whenever we need a guy, we bring him in.
There you go. I love a little extra O-linement in the game. Oh, yeah. A little heavy personnel.
A1. A1 guy, one of the best teammates on the team, guy that just gets after whatever you need, coach. And we put him in a situation where he's just got to feel it out. He's got to feel the area out, and on top of that, be ready for the football at any moment because Pat is. And Pat trusted him. And he put it right on him for a big time third down.
Put it right on his chest. For those of you wondering what This is called the side view. They call it in sprint out or boot naked action. You have somebody that secures the edge for a second, and then it's his job just be a last minute safety mechanism for the quarterback, the dot on the if everybody over plays the naked action like they do. Do you feel like the Chief's offense is making progress to where you want to be at in January? Of course. I know it wasn't a game. Progress?
I don't know if progress is the right word. I think obviously there's good games, there's bad games, whether or not you come out victorious or you're winning your one-on-one matchups, how well did we execute the offense. A lot of people like to go into practices and say, Did we have a good practice or a bad practice? No, we just fucking had practice. We figured out either how not to do shit or we figured out how to do shit. And I think right now, we're still figuring out how to run this offense the best or how to be at our best when the play is called. Every play can't be the best play possible that the other team has no idea is coming.
Yeah, you're not going to out scheme them every single time, be wide open.
Sometimes you got to run the ball knowing they know the exact run. Sometimes you got to make a play in the past game when they have everybody covered and the ball's in the air. You have to be able to make shit right. Coach Reid does a great job, and the offensive staff and the defensive staff here in Casey does a great job of putting us in positions to have success. But then it's our job to go out there and make that shit happen. That's where I put my pride in making sure that no matter what Big Red calls, we make that shit work. I think Pat, he's got the ultimate Trump card back there and being able to do that. He's done that throughout his entire career, and that's the goal. The goal is to keep trying to make everything that Coach Reid calls, whether it's something that they got to tick on or not. We got to make that shit happen. And I think that's the direction that we're going, for sure.
And to what you just said, that's the thing that's made Pat so unique is I think Andy is as good at dialing up plays as anybody in the NFL. He's going to get you guys in a lot of advantageous situations. But when it isn't the advantageous situation, that's when Pat really is special. He can then improvise and do things that a defense can't prepare for because it's going to be something that is unique to that situation. And that's the great equalizer. So that's the ownership and pride you guys want to have And knowing as players that at the end of the day, we're the ones out there playing, and we got to make things go. So love that. Next week, the Chiefs are headed to Carolina to take on the Panthers. Obviously not the same matchup as the Bills, but it is the NFL. And you will get humbled by any team, especially one coming off their by. Panthers are coming off their by. And after being the Giants in Germany, two-game win street. Wow. After I declared the season was over, I did indeed do that. I was mighty hard on the Panthers.
Quarterbacks playing better. They got some guys back on the defensive side. D-line is a very good D-Line. That's where all their horses are. A lot of their guys are up front. They got a very veteran-type team. I feel like I've played a lot of these guys on different teams, Vikings, Broncos, all over the league that have had this style of defense. We're going to have a fucking challenge. They've seen us at our worst these past couple of weeks. We just haven't been playing our best, especially on the offensive side of the ball. I think that's going to motivate them to feel like they have a chance. It's up to us, man. It's a mentality game, man. We go in there and do what we know at our best. I don't think there's a team in the league that can beat us. Yeah. Yeah, let's move along to the Eagles, baby. Eagles, a little Thursday night football action against the Commandos.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Eagles, 26. Commanders, 18. Washington had been They came out the gates hot, and they've had a bit of a up and down the past three or four weeks, I believe.
Yeah. I mean, they've still been good. The Commanders are a good football team. They really are. They're well-coached. Dan Quinn is a phenomenal head coach. We're seeing how different that Dallas Cowboys defense looks with him not at the helm. I just think he's very good at utilizing guys within his system, scheming things up. There are a number of things he did in this game that stalled the run game out. The run yardage might look good because it ended good at the end of the game, but there were a lot of negative runs and things that they did that I think threw the Philadelphia Eagles off, especially early in the game. And eventually, we saw what I think is probably the commander's weakness this year, which is the trenches on both sides. I just think that they are a very good team. The quarterback, Jaden Daniels, has played out of his mind for the majority of the season, especially as a rookie. I just think they're going to struggle against teams with good offensive lines and good defensive lines. I just think that they have good players. Their offensive line is filled with a lot of journeymen that have played football in the league for a long time, and they are good players.
But on both sides, they're They're missing just a couple of those dudes that you can lean on to like, Hey, this guy is going to create movement. We know where to go behind this one. They're just missing a little bit of that. And I think that in teams that are going to be able to win that physicality with them, they're going to be able to put pressure on Jaden Daniels and take him off his rhythm and timing, shut down their run game. Because a run game, a lot of people have been talking about Jaden as a thrower. Brian Robinson in this rushing attack between him, McNickels and Echler, all three of those guys, they've been running the ball like crazy. I just think that the Eagles's defense has been really clicking as of late.
Well, Eagles are now first place in the NFC East behind only the Lions. Is nick Seriani not getting enough love from Philly?
You know what else? Listen to WIP this morning. I think the Eagles fan- The fuck is WIP? Wip is the local big sports talk show station in Philadelphia.
So they're the ones that have been shitting on them.
Well, they control a lot of the narrative. But I will say, they Usually are... I think WIP is pretty much, for the most part... I don't want to say for the most part. Wip is oftentimes just a reflection of what the fan base truly thinks about the team.
That's how you keep the fans involved.
Sometimes they are wrong.
That's how you keep them listening. Sometimes they are wrong.
See?
That's what I mean. I told you, Seriani is done.
It tends to be the loudest fans, which... Listen, I go on WIP. I like listening to WIP for these exact reasons. I like hearing those perspectives perspectives. But I think nick was facing a lot of criticism for the end of last year, and early on this year, he made a lot of fourth down calls that just haven't gone their way, and he's faced a lot of criticism for that. A lot of fans have been saying, What does he do? He's not calling He doesn't play anymore. What is he doing as a head coach?
It's so unfair.
It is. It's very unfair. It's so fucked. And nick is really... That narrative is starting to flip. Obviously, when you win games, that's all people care about. And at the end of the day, what I think nick does a really good job of doing. He's a great communicator. He does a wonderful job in team meetings and communicating who we are as a team, what we need to do, how we're going to attack them, what we're going to be on offense and defense, making critical decisions in the games, which some of them haven't gone his way this year. But I still don't disagree with most of those decisions. At the end of the day, I think nick has done a great job, especially retooling from a disastrous end of last year. We lost a lot of games down the stretch. They bring in Vic Fangio, they bring in Vic Fangio, They bring in Kela Moore, and you can just see that there's so much more well-c coordinated and well-oiled machine this year, as well as retooling from a talent perspective. They go out and sign Saquon Barkley. A lot of the young guys that they drafted have really started to come on, especially in the defensive side of the ball.
Jalen Carter is playing as good as anybody is right now. And nick is definitely starting to get back into good graces of Philly fans, even though it was a rough start. I think there was a poll today that most people Oh, yeah. He's got a better winning percentage than all these coaches through the first three seasons. That can't just all be luck. He's got to be doing something good.
Well, you give them the best players in the league. Who do you want them to win with? The GMs are there.
Who do you want them to win with? People People don't win with bad players. I don't care how good of a coach you are. That's not how it works. But there are people that will lose with good players. One of my favorite quotes, or one of my favorite sayings, and I'm trying to remember who Kobe said, but you remember when the last dance came out from the Chicago Bulls? Yeah. And my whole life, I thought Phil Jackson was a little bit overrated, if I'm being honest. What? Dude, he coached Michael Jordan, and then he had Kobe Bryant Shaq. He had the best players ever. He had Yeah. And I'm like, Dude, this guy didn't do anything redeeming. Then I watched Last Dance, I was like, Oh, no. Oh, no. This guy helped that whole fucking thing together.
He's just putting out fires.
Jordan and Pippen dating each other towards the end of it. Hey, everybody.
This dude was so important. We're going to do some mindful. Yeah.
The Zen master. Zen master.
I would have been so out on that, dude.
Oh, my God. Kobe came and talked. He And it sounded been like, Phil, what the fuck are we doing? Dude. Kobe came and talked to the team one year, and he talked about this narrative that Phil Jackson isn't a good coach because he's always had good players. And Kobe's like, Well, who do you want to win with? You want it to win with? And he named somebody, and I can't remember who. I don't want to throw shade at whoever basketball player he did name. But he was like, That's not how it works. You have to have good players to win. But at the end of the day, he won. And there's a lot of coaches that didn't. So I think nick has put together for the most part in his career.
It's all about the triangle offense, Jason. Everything's geometry. You got to understand. You got to spread the floor out, give two guys freedom, everything outside of that. We just need cutters, guys in the right place at the right time, knocking down open shots.
Well, nick Seriani's offense is- Get in the paint and elevate, son.
What are we doing?
The easiest shot in basketball.
Get as close as you can. Michael, show him how it's done. God damn it. All right, boys, we're going to implement the triangle offense.
Yeah, that's a long way of saying that at the end of the day, nick Siriani has been on some really good teams in Philadelphia. Yes, they've had really good players. Howie Roseman and the personnel department have done a great job, as well as the coaches, of building a roster that is going to be synonymous with the team and way they want to play football. I think that right now, they're really starting to come together. They found out their identity on offense. Saquon Barkley is a big piece of that.
Speaking of Saquon, he rests for 146 yards in two tutties against Washington. Man, this guy is fucking balling, man. Couldn't have happened to a better guy, man. We had him on the podcast in the offseason, and I think we both realized it right then and there that we were like, damn, Philly just got a fucking... He just stole from the entire NFL, man. You could tell how just down to earth he was and how much of a teammate he was. He had been dealt with some injuries over there in New York, but it's just awesome to see him get this thing going. Game ceiling, 39-yard, breakdown late in the game. Shout out to Camp Jurgen's on blocking the safety. Oh, yeah. Twice on this play.
Dude, he blocked him twice on this play, and he got on the play right before this. They ran this play two times in a row. This is the second version of it. They ran this play, I think three times in the game that I saw. Yeah, he obliterated.
You just see the offense. Just everybody's creating grass. Half their team is outside the numbers. Yeah. And when you get a defense trying to play their gaps so far that they're damn near on the sideline, it just creates so much room for a guy with speed and vision to be able to work with, man.
They're playing this four-minute defense. They got the diamond front there, the safety's down, weak side. And Kam does a great job of getting up to him. His hands are so strong. He has that great three-inch punch that is just so violet when he connects. He launches guys in space. God damn. So they ran that play. The play right before, they ran that exact same play to the left. And Kam, if Landon would have held onto that block, they probably would have scored on that play because he did the exact same thing to the guy. Just launched him. Yeah, take this out. Bam. Jesus. So strong. And he knew it, too. He did a little head bob right there. Oh, my gosh.
Big jerky.
Beef jerky.
Jerky jerking. Jesus, kid. Get up, get up, get up. Make a play, make a play. Fuck, I'm back on the ground. Man, that's tough. That's the safety, man.
Saint Quint had a couple of big ones at the end of the game. He had that one. And then the play right before that, that he scored the countdown on, not right before that, but the drive before that, when he scored the countdown on, they had been... You know when teams play a shell, let's say we're two by two. I don't know if this is worth getting into. But you run a zone play weak side, and that nickel plays the B-gap late to the weak side. You know what I mean?
Yeah, I hear you.
We call it a nosy nickel. They were doing that a bunch, and that ball was getting so close. Saquon had two or three that could have been huge hits right through that B gap. Yeah, that's his guy. But Devante, the first time, if he just would have dug the nickel out just a little bit harder, that would have been explosive. Then there was another one where it just got in the way enough, right? Where it ruined the run. Right before it, he scores a shutdown on it. I think they got confused. I don't know if Bobby didn't know that they were rotating down to the tight end, but they didn't have anybody in that B gap, and it was a-Out the gate. 25-yard countdown, whatever it was. But anyways, They really should have done better on the ground. I thought Dan did a really good job of scheme and some things up, but I came away from the game. I mean, this was really positive. Saquon is so good, man. The speed and jumping over people, that's a lot of the stuff that people notice watching him. What I notice is he's got such good vision.
He makes so many plays and makes reads that I've never seen or played with a guy make. I mean, you could argue Le'Shawn was as good at it. Le'shawn was maybe the shiftiest guy I've ever seen play football. But Saquon does so many things. He's patient when he needs to be. He gets through the hole with explosion when he needs to. He hits it frontside or backside. He's running duo. He can get it to that backside, which is so hard to see. He just does a phenomenal job of creating runs. And combined with this offensive line and the quarterback they have and the threat he is, good luck. So anyways.
Well, Saquon's rushed for 1,137 yards and eight touch downs so far this season. Just 175 yards behind his season best. How about that? With what? Seven games, six He's left?
Yeah, I don't want to jinks anything, but yeah, he's looking pretty good about midway through the season here.
The last running back to win MVP of the National Football League was Adrian Peterson back in 2012. That was the last non-quarterback to win it as well. How about that? Should we stop calling it the MVP and just give it to the best quarterback, the most valuable quarterback?
Just announce that the best quarterback is the MVP?
Yeah, the most valuable quarterback, and then make the... Because then the offensive player of the year, that's the one that gets shuffled around to running backs and wideouts, and I don't even think a wideout's won it. But yeah, I don't know. I think there needs to be some other metric for outside of quarterbacks.
Well, it's hard because-There's so much being put on the quarterback.
The reality is- The quarterback got the ball in his hands the most of the time, so I get it.
Yeah, the reality is the majority of the... The quarterback is the most valuable position on an offense, so it makes sense that they're the ones winning this award the vast majority of the time. Every once in a while, there is a running back like Adrian Peterson in 2012, where it's so obvious that the only reason this offense is successful, or the main reason this offense is dominant the way they are, is because of how good that player is. There can absolutely be a case made for Saquon Barkley this year in the way he's playing and how he has elevated the offense and what the offense has turned into. Because we've always been a running team a little bit with Jalen and the attributes that he brings opens a lot of the run game up. But they have really turned into this run and play-action team, first and second down, and they're embracing it. And Saquan, he has made the offense and the team so much better as a player and as a person. I think it's a very good argument that he is the most valuable component to a team this season. We'll see how the rest of the season goes.
I think there's a lot of people saying, because of the push-push, he's missing out a lot of touch downs. Anybody that's taking touch downs away from Saquon Barkley, that's making him less valuable, I think. Shouldn't even be allowed to choose who an MVP is. The dude is being dominant. I don't think that that's a metric that should gage that.
Well, talking about those touch Saquan has landed on the one-yard line nine times this year. That is- He has a bunch. Yeah. And he has eight touchdowns. So you add those nine to it, he'd be sitting at 17 right now, halfway through the season, and that would be insane.
Yeah. I mean, it's probably not 100 %. But let's say out of those nine, he probably ends up with at least seven touch downs. I think that's probably a good percentage off of those.
From the one-yard line, I like Saquan giving the ball. I think that's about a 80 % chance.
I think that that's fair to say, and that's a lot of touch downs.
It's crazy. I wonder how many times I've been stuffed at the one-yard line.
Dude, it's hard to get in there. It's tight spaces. Like Stout said, it's like cram and salt up a fat lady's ass down there in that one-yard line. Not a lot of winters.
That shit's water tight down there, man. Oh, yeah. The crab rear end.
What's the other one? A duck's bottom? You ever heard that one? There's something with a duck in a bottom. Anyways, next week, the The Cardinals head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.
Nice.
Unrelated question, who's going to win the NFC West? A great question.
I mean, it's a race over there with the Niners and Seahawks and Rams. I feel weird saying this.
I think it might be the Cardinals.
Cardinals are going to find their way out of there. I mean, they already got a game up on everybody, right? They're leading.
They are. They're leading. I want to see Kyler continue to play the way he is. At the end of the day, you just got to see it proven. You know what I mean? And the 49ers have proven it more over the past few seasons. Matthew Stafford has proven it in the past, and Sean McVay, as well as the Seahawks and Geno. Both of those teams have proven it, have a track record. They've won Super Bowl. They've been in Super Bowl.
Cardinals are hot right now.
But the Cardinals are hot. Jonathan Gantt has them playing really well. They have a great running game, and Kyler Murray is playing really well right now. Yeah, he is. It'll be interesting to see, but if they keep playing like this, I think it's the Cardinals.
There you go. The Eagles right behind the lions over there in the NFC.
Who would have thought?

We're going to get to the Wapper recap right now. Wildest news out of week 11. For the first time ever, the Detroit Lions are the favorites to win the Super Bowl. Congratulations.
Yeah, we'll see We'll see how it is. Not to take away from anything the lines are fucking doing right now because, God damn, they look unstoppable.
They do. They look very good. We talked about, Can a running back ever win the MVP? The lead has shifted back to this line of scrimmage, run and play action. The last few years, it's gone to this... I mean, the last decade, it's been really pass-heavy. Spread it out, dial it up with a premier quarterback.
When you got Dan Campbell getting his guys to bite They're in the kneecaps, man.
Holy cow.
They are just taking control of the line of scrimage. Dude, they're one, two points in the backfield. That might be two of them. It's impressive. Two of the best we've seen in the National Football League, dude. They're different.
I love the way David Montgomery's just a great every down back. They're different, yeah. Or a great first, second down, just run right at you. Gibbs, I really like watching him play. He's shifty, he's dynamic, he can do a lot of things really, really Well, I think both of them combined are really just a very fun time. Oh, I didn't know this. They are nicknamed Sonic and Knuckles. So Sonic is definitely Montgomery.
What?
Gibbs reminds me of Knuckles.
I could see that. Yeah, you got it twisted. Sonic is the fastest of the bunch.
Yeah, but when I think of Knuckles, I think more of Shiftiness from what I remember from those games. What? Like, Sonic was just a freaking roadrunner. Or it was a bowling ball, which I think of more like you would ball up and go like there. I hear you. I think of that more like David Montgomery Lane.
But whatever. I hear you.
Clearly, I don't know the nickname well.
They both could do it both. All right, that is what it is. Either one of them could be whoever they want to be because they got the full package.
That's about as dynamic of a duo we've seen. We saw what they did to the Jaguars, and we'll get into that in a second. But first, we want to start with a game that might have been my favorite game from this past week, especially from Sunday. Stealers beat the Ravens. There's something about Stealers and Ravens game. It's always tight. Come on, man. It's always physical, like that AFC North style of play that we grew up watching in Cleveland.
Afc North, man.
And it did not disappoint. My goodness. When you're playing, especially when you're older, and the chippiness happens on the field, I feel like a lot of times you're like, Dude, will you stop with the nonsense? What are you doing being ridiculous? You know what I mean? Can we just play football? Why you got to get in all those other stuff?
I haven't felt that yet.
That's the way I was. Now I find myself like, Dude, I love it. I love when people are getting each other's faces and talking trash. Like, Rodrick Jones going at it with Humphrey. They got to get worn because they're about to get kicked out of the game because they're drawing at each other and hitting each other after the whistle. That's the football that gets you excited. And that's the energy this game had. And that's the energy your guys' game had. You guys are a lot of back and forth. Deion Dawkins was all over the place. That's when you know the meaningful games are happening. And it was fun to see that football being played. And the Steelers and Ravens, it was an old-fashioned bar brawl. It was two teams that knew how important the game was. They were going at it. And ultimately, the Steelers won the game without Four in a single countdown.
Six field goals, baby.
Boswell, six field goals, leading them to victory. I will say, Steelers won the game. Their defense looks outstanding, and they clearly know how to get under Lamar's skin. They have always played them well. And part of Their defensive line is just so good. And they shut down some of the run actions and things that Baltimore likes to do. Tj Watt is a dynamic player. Cam Hayward is a dynamic player. The Ravens had their opportunities. And I still came away from the game thinking that the Ravens are probably the better team. They just had a lot of penalties, a lot of mistakes, and things kept the Stealers in the game for long enough to secure a victory. Shout out to the Stealers. It's a big win for them. They're playing a lot better.
8-2 or 9-2 as well, I think.
Yeah, they're right there. Potential coaching changes. At this point in the season, there's a lot of speculation, obviously, on what is in the future, because at this point in the season, there are some teams that are clearly not going to be competing for a Super Bowl, and some fan bases want to know what is in store for next year. They've already given up, Trev.
I just don't believe in doing that, man.
What do you mean? Firing a coach midway through the season?
Midway through the season. I understand things can probably get hostile in the building between between the front office and a head coach, and I understand that that could be a part of it. But if you don't know the direction you're going in the future to just fucking can a guy and make everyone's life that much harder to change the scenery that much. I don't see the benefits of it.
I think for me- I've also never been a part of a team where that was- Yeah. Listen, Andy Reid, pretty good. You guys have had the coaching thing figured out. First of all, I agree. I think most of the time, it does not make... I don't like firing a head coach midway through the season. I'll say the one time that I think it probably does make sense in some regards is if there's tension in the building as a result of things not going well, and the head coach is not a part of fixing that. He's a part of making that an issue and exacerbating problems.
Exacerbating. That was the word I was looking for. Thank you.
How do you know when the right time is to move on from a head coach? I think a lot of that comes down to when there's just a difference of where you want the team to go from the ownership and personnel. There's a disconnect on where we want to go next. And what we're doing right now isn't working, and it's time in the best interests of everybody involved to move on. And most of the time, the right time to make that decision is after the season. But there are sometimes where it's like, All right, listen, This is not a conducive environment that we want to have. We want to have everyone more on the same page. So let's get rid of the head coach. And it also establishes to all the players that are still there like, Oh, God, they just fired the coach. We're next if we don't prove who we are and what we mean to this team. In general, usually not a fan of that. But that's when you know it's time to move on, when it's just like, Man, this coach has had his opportunities in his time, and it just hasn't gone that way.
Or in a worse way, it's like, Man, everybody's finger-pointing upstairs. That's when it's bad. When people are finger-pointing upstairs, all the coaches in front office doors are closed instead of open. It's not a good sign. Another blowout loss. So I guess these are who we're talking about. My man Doug Peterson in Jacksonville lost 52 to 6 to the Lions. Another blowout loss. I mean, listen, It has not gone well for the Jags this year, and I think there's a number of reasons for that. Listen, I played for Doug. I know the type of coach he is. I know how much he cares about his players and the value he brings in that position. I will never not be willing to play and suit up for Doug Peterson.
I'm right there with you, brother.
Because of the type of guy he is and the way he coaches the game. So it hurts me that they're struggling down there in Jacksonville. And ultimately, the head coach bears the brunt of all this stuff. That's part of that position. But it's hard for me to go there with Doug because I know what a fantastic, phenomenal coach he is. Another one that people are talking about is a situational failure with the bears and packers. Bears and Packers. Bears are now five and 17 in one-score games under Ibra Fluss since 2022. Man, that's rough.
There was another stat out there that really is just like... Luck just hasn't been on his side late in the I will say that stat that he's been in that many close games.
I just think that Ibraflus is a deep end.
I think there was another stat saying that he's had the most 90% chances to win, and Yeah, bad hair. Yeah. I mean, listen- I forget what it was, man. I had the fortune of meeting Coach Ibra Fluss over the offseason. Yeah, he's a great dude. Actually at the Kentucky Derby, man. I met him at the derby. Great fucking guy. You could tell the guy just fucking loves ball, We were hanging out talking ball just about the entire time we were around each other, man.
He used to be the linebacker's coach in Dallas, and he would coach Sean Lee and a bunch of those guys and give me fits. He's a fantastic coach. Defense has not been the issue for the most part in Chicago. They played defense pretty well. They've really struggled offensively. And again, ultimately, the head coach is the one that bears everything. The fact that they're in that many one-score games, it tells me that the defense has been playing well. They've had opportunities. They just haven't been able to execute. Obviously, there's one glaring one that they messed up on with the Hale Mary and even the play before the Hale Mary against Washington earlier this year. The block field goal, I don't know how you put that on Ibraflus, but I guess you put everything on it.
One fucking ball in the air, man. You can't just fuck it. It's It's not even like they got penetrations.
How did Ibraflus not tell them to not let them put their hands up?
Keep the hands down on the field. Yeah, he's been hit with a bunch of things that just, I feel like, have been out of his control. But there's so much to go into all of a football game, all four quarters of a football game. And like you said, man, the head coach is just, he's going to take the wrap. He's going to take the beating if something's going on. Yeah.
So I don't know. The one thing with Eric Fluss, and listen, I think he's a fantastic defensive coach. They just invested a lot of money into Caleb Williams. So they need to figure out something that's going to make that kid thrive. And maybe that's, if it's not the offensive coordinator, you got to hire a guy and steal him from an organization that is proven offensive mind, in my opinion. I think you have to figure that out just from a resource allocation, right? They need and want Caleb Williams to pan out. They're going to have to figure out a way to make that happen because they got players over there. There's weapons over there, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, they got horses over there. You know what I mean? So their offensive line has struggled a little bit. But even that, I think they got some decent offensive line. They just haven't really executed as well.
Big question mark in the NFL for head coaches is A very shocking one for me because I've had a lot of trouble going, or at least had a lot of bumps in the road going up against his team. And that's Zack Taylor at Cincinnati. Yeah.
When you start seeing quotes, it's not a good sign. Jamal Chase said, How do I do it? I don't know. Ask Zack. Ask the coaches. Don't ask me. That's not my job. What was the question?
Was asked, How can the team finish better? That was the question was, How does the team finish better?
How do I do it? I I don't know. Ask Zack. Ask coaches. Don't ask me. That's not my job. I don't think he's throwing Shay, Zack, in this. Yeah, I think he's pissed off. I don't call plays for us, so I can't really do nothing. I think he's just basically saying that's like, Yeah, maybe he's throwing shade. Let me think about this more. How the team could finish better. He's just deflecting blame and putting it on Zack. I don't know what to think about this. This wasn't as bad as I a lot before seeing it. I think this is probably a guy that's just frustrated. It feels like they- Doesn't have the answers right then and there.
Obviously, he's playing his fucking ass off. He's about to be the Triple Crown winner if he stays on this pace. Freaking beast. Yeah. So It's like, he's doing everything he can to win. I think the question itself was asking him, Hey, do you have the answers? He's like, No. Exactly. You pay the coaches to figure it out.
That's about my pay grade type answer.
Especially right What the fuck now after I just had another heartbreaking loss. What the fuck are you even asking me right now? I think it was one of those defer to the head guy and let the head guy answer those questions because right now I don't want to fucking even think about it.
Ask if you please, plays are part of why Cincinnati isn't finishing. He said, I don't know. He's just being honest.
I don't know. I think he spoke his mind in the past, and I think people are just looking for those quotes from him. But I don't think this one, I don't think you dive too deep into this one. Or maybe you do.
I think they're going to, especially in Cincinnati, because the Bangles are much worse than they expected them to be. Everyone expected this team with Burro coming back and being healthy to be a Super Bowl contender. And as of right now, it looks like they're not going to make the playoffs. So Zack Taylor is going to face a ton of criticism. And again, that's the nature of it. He's been there for six years. This is Sure, it starts to... But the bangles are unique. The bangles don't family-run business. They hold out to coaches.
I would say that Coach Taylor is not going anywhere.
The one thing that probably does make sense, Dallas. I mean, so bad last night against Houston. It just doesn't feel like anything is headed in the right direction.
It doesn't really look like that's a motivated football team. I don't know.
It looks like it's a bad situation.
It looks like everybody's collecting checks over there. You can tell a team when it's fighting. It doesn't look like too many guys are out there fighting.
No. And you want to talk about quotes. There's a lot of quotes, stuff on the sideline. I mean, they fought in the first half yesterday. They tried a fake pun.
I just- Ask these nuts. Talk about these nuts. All time. I love it. I'm too much of a child, man. I'll defer to that. Shut out the digs, man. I know That shit, it sucks losing. When you don't have your best players out there, Dax not playing, it's tough, man. It's tough. Ceed Lambs out there trying to make shit shake as much as he possibly can, and same with the run game. It's tough, man.
What sucks for Mike is that it feels like a lot of what is going on in Dallas, and listen, Dak hasn't played as well as everybody expected this year. It feels like a lot of it's a personality-driven. They had opportunities to sign guys this offseason. They chose not to. They trusted the guys they had in the building. And a lot of those young guys and people that they trusted just have not played at a high level. And I don't know that you can blame Mike McCarthy for that. Maybe he can. I don't know who's making those decisions. Brandon saying, Yes, you do. Our resident Dallas fan, Brandon, intern Brandon. I think it's more Jerry's fault. That's what I'm getting at. Jerry's the one who's making all of these decisions.
He's the one who created this fucking stadium so that the sun would peak through. He's the one that doesn't want to do maintenance on the ceiling.
If we want to get rid of Mike McCarthy, go for it. I do think they just paid Dak all this money similar to Caleb Williams. They got to find a way to get him going for it to make sense.
Oh, yeah.
They're invested. They've invested a lot of money. I know that Caleb isn't... When that investment has been made in the quarterback, you have to figure out a way for that investment to make sense.
The Giants are in the same boat right now.
Oh, no. Their cards have already shown. They're moving on from Dale Jones.
What? Is this news? Did he just get benched or something?
He got benched. They're going to Tommy Cutlets, baby.
Shut the-I swear to God, Tommy Cutlets is back. You didn't hear this? No, man.
Yeah, baby. Not only did they bench Daniel Jones, they didn't even go to Drew Locke. They went straight to Tommy Cutlets. Listen. I'm like, What is going on? They just want those shirts. They want everybody in the stadium like, Hey, we know we're not very good. We're just going to be a caricature of an Italian dude from New York now. But no, I mean, this is clearly the Daniel Jones experiment is over. They're benching him so that he doesn't get hurt and they don't owe him a bunch of money. There's going to be a bunch of changes in New York after this season. But yeah, back to deck in Dallas. Yeah, we aren't talking about that one. How's that one down on the coaching? I mean, is Dayball, you think Dayball is safe? He was the coach of the year two years ago. I don't really know what to say about all this coaching stuff because it's hard know what the right moves are unless you're in these buildings. Ultimately, coaches are responsible for the product, for the outcomes. Beyoncé, halftime is coming to you live on Christmas Day.
You're going to fucking miss it. Damn it.
Yeah, baby. I can't wait to watch this one. Announced this week, Beyoncé will be performing at halftime in the Texas Ravens game on Netflix. Yeah, how much does the NFL hate the NBA Christmas games? What did Adam Silver do to deserve this? Listen, NBA does not have-Christmas, right? Yeah, they don't have... They're not the king of Christmas.
No. Especially when the NFL is in town, baby.
Hey-o.
Come on now. We get some big-time matchups, Texans, Ravens, Chiefs, Steelers.
How about that?
Who would have thought? I mean...
These NFL people got to figure it out.
Come on now.
Pretty good.
Hopefully, Netflix can figure it out as well, because last time...
Dude, hopefully, they get the stream and stuff right.
Got God damn it. My shit got froze, literally, on Mike Tyson's cheeks. Dude, that was the one of... It felt like a parody going into it, just from Mike slapping him in the weigh-ins or the pre-fight stuff.Yeah.
You know that's part of the bit.And.
Then just... Dude, when he did the interview, because I'm pretty sure he did the interview with his son. That was his son that interviewed him. He kisses him on the cheek, which I've never seen that in an interview ever in my life. The guy that's done with the interview right before his fight goes and kiss another man on the cheek, says, I love you, and then walks off and the camera pans and slightly goes down so he can catch this guy in nothing but a jock.
Dude, I'm not going to lie.
I immediately sent that to fucking everyone. That was the funniest shit ever.
I was not watching at this point. I'm embarrassed that I watched this to begin with. I should have known better. What? I couldn't help myself.
Oh, man.
I will say, though, the moment I saw that clip on social media, I didn't think Mike was going to win before, but I knew when I saw those cheeks, he wasn't going to win. Come on. Lose your glutes, lose your game. He got an old man ass in that photo. Are you worth 60? If we're being honest, you got an old man ass.
How are you supposed to keep your glutes past 40?
This is my point. This is why Andy said that. Lose your glutes, lose your game. You He can't be out there with saggy glutes. He doesn't have the same-He wasn't bouncing.
He wasn't bouncing. He was trying to bounce around.
Listen, he could still whip my ass, but to face a legitimate person that trains in boxing is a whole 'nother' thing.
Oh, no, man. That was some funny-ass shit. Hopefully, Netflix, though, back to the point, can figure out how to- Can figure out the streaming for Christmas Day. Especially if we're going to be watching all the Christmas games on Netflix. Because I was pretty pissed. I was pretty pissed. It kept going in and out. It kicked me off about four or five times.
I am pissed that nothing Netflix did. I'm only mad at myself for actually spectating that and contributing stuff like that happens. I don't know. I just love Mike Tyson so much. I couldn't help but watch it. But I mean, it was- I just love watching Cleveland Kids. I knew what I was going into before it even happened, and I still just could not help myself.
But you can't. Nobody can. It's the best shit ever.
I'm not going to lie. The ass interview, definitely. I think I said it. I don't think I was going to watch it. Kylie and I were watching Great British Bake Off, and then I saw that ass interview, and I was like, Ky, I got to watch. That ass interview. I got to watch this old man who used to be the baddest person on the planet, try and-Go up against this fucking beast of a Cleveland kid. This West Side Clevelander.
Just Cleveland kids living out their dreams, baby. That's what I'm here for. Shout out to the Paul brothers, baby.
Dude, I just... Holy cow. Shout out to Jake Paul for not knocking out Mike.
The Mike Tyson that we know, if he was in Jake Paul's position, he would have fucking KOed that guy into a coma.
Well, that's why Jake Paul is not Mike Tyson.
He's got a heart. Yeah.
They wanted to talk about the interview with the kid that was asking, What do you think of your legacy, Mike?
Yeah, but I'm talking about the vicious Mike Tyson. That's a great...
No, that's a different level. If one thing has not changed about Mike Tyson, it's his ability to answer interviewers in the most spectacular fashion.
You think I give a fuck about Legacy?
We're all going to be dead. Who cares about Legacy when you're dead? Who cares about what people think about it?
Shout out to the young girl reporting. God damn, she was really professional. She kept it together.
She kept it together. She was like, Wow.
That's a very interesting... I've never thought of it like that.
They did not prepare me for this in my multimedia class in high school. I did not know that I was going to get ridiculous people to...
Yeah, well, welcome to fight night.
At some point Somebody's going to tell you that nothing you do in life matters because everybody's going to be dead, and you're going to have to act like it wasn't a ridiculous statement. Go.
Okay, I understand that. I get where you're coming from.
Okay.
Shout out to Mike Tyson, man. Fuck.
Dude, legend. All right. That does it for a Week 11 recap. Brought to you by Burger King.
All right, now let's move along to No Dumb Questions to close out the show with some No Dumb Questions, because there's no such thing as dumb questions, 92 percenters. Just two dumbasses trying to figure it out. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Mint Mobile. How about it, man? All right, we're going to answer some Not Dumb Questions from our Hotline voicemails today. How about it, man? Nice hotline It's hot. It's a hot hotline. Next call on the hotline. What do you got for us? Hi, guys. My name's Ashley, and big fan of the podcast. But when we see other 90 92 percenters out in the wild, what are we supposed to do? For eagles, we say, go birds or cheeps, but what do we say when we see a fellow 92 percenter out in the wild? Should we be yelling anything at all?
I like this.
Should it be something propane? I'm not sure.
Probably not. Should it be something.
Anyway, I would love to know. Bye. Thank you, Ashley, for calling in on the high-thigh line.
Yeah, thank you very much.
I don't think that's a dumb question at all.
I think- This is an awesome question. I have not pondered.
Jason, I don't know about you, but whenever I'm out and about, I do get random calls and shoutouts from the 92 percenters. No doubt. The real ones listening in every single week I'll always get a good new news. Get that one. That's a fucking... That's like a fucking... That's a banger. Yeah, that's a calling for all the 92 percenters to unite right there. Then wish Profound? Is that what she said? She wants one that's profound?
Profane is what she said. Asking if we should have a swear word in there, which, listen, usually I'm all for profanity, but if this is a- Just yell out fornicating.
I think that one, that'll get everyone to be like, Wait, what? I only know one guy that really talks about that on a weekly basis.
We're going to be in a public setting. We should probably limit the profanity. Did you all Jumanji instead of fornicating.
Jumanji? Monji! Monji! Somebody put Jumanji on.
You know, for some reason, what I thought of right away, so New Heights is obviously an ode to Cleveland Heights, where we grew up.
The Heights, baby.
Why do heights, no matter what class you're from-Heights high. That's the international Heights High greeting. Can we bring that to New Heights? New Heights!
New Heights!
Or should we just do Heights High?
I think new is probably the best one.
Well, new news is definitely the one that everybody goes, but-New news always does it. How about you guys send us some recommendations? How do you guys greet each other out in public? Not just us. What do you guys say to each other? What are the first things you bond over when you see somebody wearing some New Heights apparel or somebody you know that watches the show. That's a tough one to answer for us. I don't know that we have the-Credentials. The power to make such an audacious decision for our fan base.
There we go. Why don't we get another one? You hit us with another one now.
Hey, guys.
Hoping you can answer a question that's causing a bit of a disagreement between me and the wife. When is the earliest appropriate time to put up the Christmas tree? Am I being a complete scrooed by saying we should wait at least until after Thanksgiving?
Thank you and go birds. I think Thanksgiving has always been the date.
In the Kelsey household, Thanksgiving was the day.
Yeah. Preferably, you put it up on Christmas Day. We never stay true to this tradition.
Put it up on Christmas?
Thanksgiving, sorry. Put it up on Thanksgiving Day. I like the tradition, we have never done this in our house, but maybe we actually will get it done this year, where after Thanksgiving's over, you put the Christmas tree up. I like that tradition. I think that that's a good one. Thanksgiving is really the start of Christmas season.
We would have the Christmas tree already up, though.
No, but you got the Christmas tree, you've bought it already, but it hasn't been put up. Maybe you buy it the day before.
I'm pretty sure we put it up, yeah, a few days before, and then the ordinance, and you dress the tree. You dress it. That's an egg KLC question.
Thanksgiving is definitely, to me, the pinnacle day. That's the start of Christmas season. I sit here advertising Christmas album. That is not before Thanksgiving.
I'm also not trying to see Christmas lights in the beginning of November. I'm with you. Don't do that to me.
Don't ruin Thanksgiving.
Don't ruin Oh, yeah.
Let Thanksgiving be its own thing. Let it be. It's beautiful day. It's lead up. It's so good on its own. It's a beautiful day. You have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then right after Thanksgiving, the moment that turkey goes down your gullet.
Parents get to force their kids to eat stuff that they don't want to teach them lessons in life, to be thankful. Let Thanksgiving be its own day.
Hey, Jason and Travis. This is Lisa from Akron, Ohio.
Akron. I love you as people and love your show. My relationship question for you Oh, they want to hear from the ladiesmen.
I have two boys who don't love to do chores, and I told them, When they're older, they're going to have to be doing them around the house anyways. So I wondered, What chores did you do growing up around the house, and do you do them now as an adult? Oh, man.
I don't- Well, you got to understand.
You got to understand.
I mean, yes, I did do chores. So I started off as a child having to do chores. I feel like that's very good, important lessons that I learned from mom and dad. We've both expressed the stuff that our father used to have us do in spreading mulch outside, cutting the grass with just a blade lawn mower, engineless lawn mower. Raking leaves. Raking leaves. That was all the outside stuff that dad didn't want us to do. Vacuuming.
We never really did the trash.
No, because Big Ed, he was always up early. He was the first one up. He was always the one taking trash out.
Mom did do our laundry, too, which, shout out to mom, but it's not. I wish mom made us do our laundry because I'm awful doing laundry.
It's not that hard, Jason. I know. I just suck at it. It really isn't that hard at all. I'm not good at it. Every now and then I'll get into it. But I say that I did it at a younger age because now I'm so busy, and I like naps. There's so many services that just do things better than me. They fold better, put shit away better. It's just everything's just way more organized when I'm not doing that. Not that I can't do it because mom taught us very valuable lessons in being able to do this on our own if we needed. There's time Where you know, you'll... Wait a second.
The one thing Kylie makes me do is trash. That is firmly my job. Nice. I suck at it. I miss it all the time because we're traveling right now. But I try to really stay on top of the trash, taking the trash down and embracing that. Not that I'm trying to do the dishes all the time, but I've done them occasionally. Kylie hates when I do the dishes. Why? She just has OCD about getting all the food off the plate before you put it in the dishwasher. The dishwasher instructions clearly state to not do that, to put it in the dishwasher. It gets cleaner without doing that.
Really? It gets cleaner without doing that?
I'm just saying what the I'm going to follow you.
That's how they sell you. That's how they get you.
That's what it says. It says somehow using soap and scrubbing it off first and then putting it in there for some reason. I don't know why, but that's what they say. Oh, Kylie is getting mad at me right now. She's got OCD about cleaning stuff that I can't really- Stop fucking exposing me, dude.
All right, well, keep your hands off the dishes, Jason.
Fine, I won't do the dishes. Fine, I won't do the dishes.
Yeah, no, you should do your chores if your parents tell you to do your chores. And for all of you that don't live with your parents now and have a fucking messy house, figure it out.
Look at my new boots. Oh, beautiful boots. Look at my new gloves. Oh, beautiful gloves. Oh, look at your hat. Sorry about that. I was getting shown a pair of new boots, new gloves, and new hats. Trevor, are you frozen? No.

This is how they do it. Serving size, one teaspoon. Do you know how many tablespoons of mayonnaise that woman just ate?
I don't know what you're even trying to find.
Servings and then servings per container. A teaspoon of mayonnaise is 90 calories. So you're just trying to figure out- So you're just trying to figure out- That's a teaspoon.
That woman- Ten grams of fat in one teaspoon?
That's what I'm saying.
This woman just had what?
That's what I'm trying to say.
There's no way you can digest that much fat.
So she had 2,052 grams of fat in one jar. 252 servings times 10 grams is 2,520 grams of fat per jar. She ate five of them? That woman had 12,600 grams of fat in three minutes.
I'm good with Aoli.
It's the exact same thing. I don't know how you can get over this.
No, it's a different taste.
What is mayonnaise? Can we Google that real quick?
God damn it, no.
Do you think they got any mayonnaise in Moana, too?
