Very sneaky, like country, kind of Southern, like in another lifetime, Lane could have been a country music artist. No question about it. He's got that voice, that iconic drawl.
00:05:36 Speaker_06
Yeah, he's got that, he's got that country star, like aura to him too.
00:05:40 Speaker_04
No, yeah, he fits in with the vibe.
00:05:41 Speaker_06
Well, everybody in the comments were appreciating Jason's, fuck yeah, at the end. Jason, you haven't seen this yet.
00:05:47 Speaker_04
No.
00:05:52 Speaker_06
And we didn't get a chance to talk about this on the show yet. Jason, you got to work with Stevie Nicks.
00:05:57 Speaker_04
Yeah, baby.
00:05:58 Speaker_06
Jason, what can you tell the 92 Percenters about this?
00:06:01 Speaker_04
stevie nicks the legendary stevie nicks came on and did a duet with me nice which in itself like pretty crazy to actually be on a track with stevie nicks i mean absolutely unreal like probably the most legendary female singer especially of her generation and maybe i mean i don't know man this is like a
00:06:20 Speaker_04
Such a unique voice, such a unique artist that was good for so long. The fact that I'm singing with her, this legend, is pretty unreal.
00:06:31 Speaker_06
Isn't she just the best in person too?
00:06:33 Speaker_04
One of the nicest people I've ever talked to, like, willing to, like, she was absolutely beautiful personality. She, you could tell she likes, she loves people. She loves music.
00:06:44 Speaker_04
She loves the art of making music, brought a breath of fresh air into the recording studio. We were able to actually get in the studio at the same time, which is really hard.
00:06:52 Speaker_04
A lot of times when we're adding a lot of the big time artists that are actually like doing this for a living, a lot of times they come on, but we have to like, kind of,
00:07:01 Speaker_04
you know, they can't come into the studio because they're busy doing their own thing, right? Yeah, this was really cool.
00:07:06 Speaker_04
We got we were able to get Stevie in studio, actually sing together, which like I'll be able to cherish that memory for the rest of my lifetime.
00:07:16 Speaker_05
Oh, that's so cool, man.
00:07:18 Speaker_04
Hell yeah. Yeah, it was just really, really cool. We got Stevie. Boyz II Men is on the track. Yeah, it's a nice thing.
00:07:25 Speaker_06
Now that you want to talk about like full circle. That is exactly who like when I think of Christmas music from like my childhood, like obviously you got the legendary songs from like before we were even born, but like growing up.
00:07:38 Speaker_06
Oh yeah, you already know, but The songs that were created as we were growing up, I mean, Boyz II Men had so many bangers. And when I hear their voice, it kind of reminds me or puts me in that Christmas mood.
00:07:53 Speaker_06
And to be on the same song as them is fucking insane.
00:07:58 Speaker_04
Yeah, when they when we first started doing that song, I actually didn't know if it was gonna work. It's just like an R&B song. And when I think of Christmas music, I do not think of R&B. What? No, I don't.
00:08:07 Speaker_04
I just I think of, you know, Frank Sinatra, I think of pop music. Like, you know, you got your Mariah Carey or Justin Timberlake. And this is before Boyz II Men. This is just when Zach wrote the song.
00:08:19 Speaker_04
Zack Miller writes a song and I'm already like, I don't know, this doesn't feel right. And the more you listen to it, you're just like, oh my gosh. Actually, Zack killed this. R&B is perfect.
00:08:30 Speaker_04
And I think we all really were hoping that, you know, maybe there was a chance in hell that Boyz II Men would want to come and collaborate on this with us. And sure enough,
00:08:41 Speaker_04
They hopped on to Christmas time at Cleveland Heights, which is even more special. They have a song tributing our hometown and in some ways a representation for everybody who's longing for home around the holidays was pretty special.
00:08:55 Speaker_06
It was awesome, man. I can't wait to play that thing while we're in the Christmas spirit and snow's falling and there's presents under the tree, baby.
00:09:04 Speaker_04

00:10:20 Speaker_06
I love expanding my world. Fan mentions of the week. Let's move on to some fan mentions, baby. On last week's episode, Jason accepted Pat McAfee's and Van's challenge to kick a field goal. in his Timbs, in his butters, baby. For a great cause.
00:10:35 Speaker_06
And now, our good friend Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is also getting involved. Why don't we check out this clip.
00:10:42 Speaker_00
All right, Jason. Heard what you said about kickers. I'd like to politely disagree. I'd fly back if he called you out last week and challenged you to kick in your Timbs. This week, I'm going to kick in some Vans, a superior kicking shoe.
00:10:56 Speaker_06
Superior kicking shoe.
00:10:57 Speaker_04
He's got the Vans on. All right, let's see it. Let's see it.
00:11:01 Speaker_06
Something tells me it's going right down the, oh yeah. A nice slight draw, just how you cook it up. Very pretty. Yeah, he must have, he's done that before.
00:11:11 Speaker_04
He just did a nice, easy 35 yard field goal. That's all it's gotta be. Jason, you just gotta hit it right on the nose, man. Just gotta hit it right there on the button. I'm gonna have to toe it. You can't go do a soccer style kick with Tim's on.
00:11:22 Speaker_04
You're not gonna get the proper ankle flexion, the boots, so I'm gonna have to go Lou Groza. I'm gonna have to toe it.
00:11:28 Speaker_06
Yeah, so instead of going, typically you go one, two, three steps back, two to the side. This one, you're just going three back.
00:11:36 Speaker_04
Three back. And I'm just going.
00:11:38 Speaker_06
Man, I'm not going to lie. The toe, there's a lot of room for error on the toe.
00:11:42 Speaker_04
The chance this thing goes straight is minimal.
00:11:44 Speaker_06
Let's see this trick kick, though.
00:11:46 Speaker_04
It's a trick kick? What's a trick kick?
00:11:48 Speaker_06
Oh, what?
00:11:49 Speaker_04
Now he's just showing off.
00:11:51 Speaker_06
Now he's just showing off. That's crazy. Was this guy a fucking sorcerer? Was this guy a Jedi? How the fuck did he do that with his feet? It's pretty impressive. That is very impressive.
00:12:02 Speaker_04
Not only did he do it in vans. He didn't even do it in his regular cleats.
00:12:05 Speaker_06
Yeah. Which vans are, I mean, like you said, premium kicking shoe.
00:12:10 Speaker_04
92%ers and Pat McAfee and Jake Elliott, we have a big announcement. I'm officially going to Happy Valley. That's right, Penn State, this week. To try and kick, I've never been. I've never been to Penn State, Happy Valley.
00:12:26 Speaker_04
I've gone fly fishing in the area, but never been to State College. So... It's your kind of college.
00:12:32 Speaker_05
You'd like that place.
00:12:33 Speaker_04
I'm kind of excited about this for multiple reasons. I am a little bit concerned. I don't know if you guys saw this this week. Somebody tore their ACL warming up.
00:12:42 Speaker_06
Did you see this? Yeah, that wasn't a good one. This is one of those don't drink and drive kids. Ah, Lee.
00:12:51 Speaker_04
oh my gosh what are we doing what are we doing i mean dude when you don't have cleats on this is what are we doing this is why i'm going straight on i'm not giving a plant leg i'm just going straight through dude there's no way you make this straight on i can't do it i've i i mean the timbs is a big
00:13:15 Speaker_04
It's a factor that is going to cause me a lot of issues.
00:13:18 Speaker_06
You don't have to get the flexion of the ankle. I don't think you have to go straight on. You can just go sideways.
00:13:23 Speaker_04
I think the only chance I'm making it in Timbs is going straight on. I don't think I can do the soccer style.
00:13:28 Speaker_06
I think you go more sideways.
00:13:32 Speaker_04
Maybe I'll take the Timbs off and go barefoot and see if I can't get a soccer style.
00:13:35 Speaker_06
You're going to break your fucking toe.
00:13:36 Speaker_04
I'm going to break my toe. You're thinking I'm not going to put that on you.
00:13:40 Speaker_06
I do think you have weak toes.
00:13:41 Speaker_04
Well, they are pretty, they're, they're wore down.
00:13:44 Speaker_06
You wore steel toed cleats.
00:13:47 Speaker_04
Alrighty. Well, if you too would like to take on this challenge of, uh, potentially kicking a field goal in tourmaline boots, uh, please send us your videos of you kicking in Tim's.
00:13:58 Speaker_06
We would love to see them show Jason how it's done, dude.
00:14:01 Speaker_04
I know so many people that have actually messed up their legs kicking. Pat talked about it last week after he got done, he's playing soccer, tore his hip flexor. Connor Baldwin, one time he punted a ball after practice.
00:14:11 Speaker_04
I don't think his knee was ever the same.
00:14:13 Speaker_06
Yeah, you don't want to get the hyperextension. You want to make sure all those muscles are firing so one doesn't over, I mean, this is all, I know nothing about this. This is all what my theories are, but god damn.
00:14:25 Speaker_04
I think it sounds like it makes sense.
00:14:27 Speaker_06
Yeah, just don't go too hard. Don't go too hard.
00:14:31 Speaker_04
So best of luck to everybody. Hopefully you stay nice and healthy and we can have some awesome videos of you attempting to kick in Timbs. We'd love to see that. Tag us on social at new height show with one S with your kicks and Timbs. That's right.
00:14:45 Speaker_04
Shout out again to our friends at Timberland and vans. You're obviously huge fans of some butters. Appreciate them supporting this kick and hurricane relief fund souls for souls.
00:14:56 Speaker_06
Let's keep this thing moving.
00:14:57 Speaker_04
Let's move on to some football. That's right. Both topics to wrap up week eight in the NFL. Both topics is brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. Starting with the Chiefs. Chiefs 27, Raiders 20.
00:15:10 Speaker_04
Chiefs are now 7-0 for the first time since the 2013 season. Andy Reid is tied for the winningest coach in Allegiant Stadium. Chiefs undefeated in Las Vegas.
00:15:22 Speaker_06
Oh shit, coaches. Oh, he's tied for the winningest coach in Allegiant Stadium.
00:15:26 Speaker_04
Yes, you guys had a new player in the building. D-Hop. Yep. DeAndre Hopkins. We just got another one, man. Join the squad. Yes, sir. One of the many receivers who have been shopped close to this trade deadline for teams hoping to be playoff contenders.
00:15:42 Speaker_06
How was it? Man, it's awesome, man. Having D-Hop in the building, have another vet, a guy that, he's such a, I call him swag champs. When you get a vet that into the building and he just, he juices everybody's confidence up.
00:15:54 Speaker_06
He juices everybody like the aura and the fun that you have in the building. just going to work. He's just another guy that you can always rely on to show up and put in the work, but enjoy what he's doing and try and have some fun with it, man.
00:16:06 Speaker_06
He's been awesome stepping up and stepping into the building yet two days to get, you know, thursday and friday during practice to get timing with pat and in the offense and kind of get into the routine.
00:16:16 Speaker_06
Everything with coach reads way of doing things and Man, he's just professional, just a professional guy. He came in asking questions, trying to get caught up as fast as possible. And sure enough, we get him in the building.
00:16:27 Speaker_06
And I think the first third down we had, we went right to him, baby. Yeah, right to him. And he's right on time, man.
00:16:34 Speaker_04
Let's try out the shiny new weapon we got here. Yeah. Last Wednesday, for those of you that aren't privy to how this happened, Hopkins was traded to the Chiefs from the Titans for a fifth round pick.
00:16:46 Speaker_04
That could become a fourth round pick, but for all intents and purposes, seems pretty cheap for a guy like DeAndre Hopkins. Is there anything else that DeAndre Hopkins needs to be ready for being a member of the Kansas City Chiefs or Chiefs Kingdom?
00:16:56 Speaker_06
I think he's he's such a professional man. He knows he knows how to win football games. He knows how to be accountable. You don't need to tell that guy much. You know, he gets it. He gets it. And and he's only he's only made us better already.
00:17:09 Speaker_06
And I promise you, as he gets more incorporated into the offense and gets more in tune with Pat and how Pat likes to do things and how he likes to do things for Pat, you know, I think all of that will just make him a very vital part of this offense.
00:17:23 Speaker_06
And it's fun. It's fun to have him in the building, man. It is, man. It's like I said, he's a swag champ, just the coolest guy, you know, and he definitely juices up the room and juices up the huddle.
00:17:33 Speaker_04
Well, we have some postgame comments on Hopkins from some of your teammates.
00:17:37 Speaker_04
Patrick Holmes said, as I looked back at the tablet, that's for those of you that don't know, there's an iPad on the side of the game, so you can kind of see what's happening.
00:17:45 Speaker_04
As I look back at the tablet, there's a couple of times where in man to man coverage, he was just really working and winning. Mahomes said of Hopkins, even the touchdown to Travis, if you look back on his side, he's open too for a touchdown.
00:17:58 Speaker_04
I know the type of player he is. So Pat, obviously big fan of DeAndre, DeHop. Coach Reed was also quoted as saying he wanted to be in there more, which is positive. He finished with two receptions for 29 yards on three targets.
00:18:11 Speaker_04
I understand he'll get more chances in the next game.
00:18:14 Speaker_06
Without a doubt, without a doubt. And obviously we'll have more, uh, more plays in the base game plan that we put in on Wednesdays. We didn't get them in the building until Thursday.
00:18:23 Speaker_04
So it's a late addition for the week. It's hard to kind of just, you know, a bunch of plays at them, but exactly.
00:18:28 Speaker_06
And, uh, yeah, you could rewatching that game, man. He was out there breaking guys off. It's just fun. Like I said, to have a, have them in the building. Yeah. He's one, yeah. There's, there's no, uh, drop off with him at all.
00:18:40 Speaker_04
Well, speaking of throwing a bunch of things at you, Big Yeti had a big day. That's right. He led all receivers this past Sunday, finishing with 10 receptions for 90 yards and got his first study of the season. How about that?
00:18:52 Speaker_04
Big Yeti back in the end zone. How's it feel?
00:18:55 Speaker_06
It felt good to be in the end zone, man. I hadn't felt that end zone in a long time. It was kind of like, oh shit, what do I do now? You know, it was one of those things. I haven't been in a while. You went with the natural spike. Natural spike.
00:19:05 Speaker_06
It's like when you go back home, you're just like, well, now what do I do? Do I go see this person first or that person first? Do I go to the high school? Do I go to my favorite restaurant? You know what I mean?
00:19:13 Speaker_06
You're just kind of sitting there like, what should I do? What should I do? So many things. I was lucky my guy D-Hobb came up and saved me because I was just kind of sitting there not doing a goddamn thing. But it was electric to get in the end zone.
00:19:24 Speaker_06
And anytime we get in the end zone right now, you got to take that momentum and run with it, baby. That was our focus coming into this game was not settling for field goals. We did on a few drives and hurt ourselves on a few others backed up.
00:19:36 Speaker_06
But it's a mentality right now that we're just going to make sure that we give our defense touchdowns. Got to have them. Yeah. When you give Chris Jones in that front and Spags,
00:19:47 Speaker_06
the ability to blitz on on third downs and really bring the pressure and put teams in passing situations. I mean, that is a tough, tough defense, man. And and we love them for it, man.
00:19:59 Speaker_06
And I think giving them points early is only going to make everybody's job a whole lot easier, man.
00:20:04 Speaker_04
We also got another big yeti lateral towards the end of the first half, which my man Piran was not as well. I guess he was ready for it. You guys definitely knew you were doing this one. This one felt more planned out.
00:20:15 Speaker_06
Yeah, that's why I got I got to just calm down. I got a little excited. I fucking before he was like able to like get ready for the lateral. I felt like guys were closing on me and I could pitch it to him. He could get out of bounds.
00:20:27 Speaker_06
It was it was way too it was it was too much. It was chaos. And I I told him afterwards like my bad dog. I won't put you in a situation like that again. Uh, and he told me he was like, don't worry, man, I'll be ready for it.
00:20:40 Speaker_06
But it's still, uh, you know, when the ball's on the ground, when you do something like that, um, all I can, all I can like here and see is just coach Reed. Just come here. Don't ever fucking do that ever again with my Jersey on your back.
00:20:54 Speaker_06
Don't you ever fucking do that.
00:20:56 Speaker_04
So timeout, is this, this one wasn't designed. Cause this one did look designed. Most of the time when you do it, you're doing it out of nowhere on your own.
00:21:04 Speaker_06
No, if it was designed, he would have, I think he would have been more ready for it. I kind of just fucking threw it on him. Fair enough. I'm not, I'm not gonna lie to him. The ball hitting the ground, kind of. It helped. It did.
00:21:15 Speaker_06
Ironically, it did help a little bit. It threw the safety off or the corner. The corner, yeah. Well, I guess that is the safety he was playing. He was playing that, uh, to invert or whatever it is. Yeah.
00:21:26 Speaker_06
So, uh, if you're going to do dumb shit, don't do real dumb shit is golden rule that I grew up with. You know, if you're going to be stupid, don't be real stupid. So there we go. Just gotta, you know, contain the stupidity and just, just be great.
00:21:39 Speaker_06
That's Travis Kelsey. Just be great. Get the ball, get it North. I'm fortunate that, uh, that we got in the field goal range there and I didn't, uh, cough the ball up to the Raiders men.
00:21:49 Speaker_04
Maybe the play of the game, the Chiefs are up 17-13 in the third. Raiders have the ball on the three-yard line and we're denied. That's right, big-time goal line stand. The Raiders went for it on fourth down.
00:22:00 Speaker_04
Tershawn Warden sacks Gardner Minshew for a turnover on downs. Yeah, what's the goal? I said, play the game that was at a point 100% I got me fired.
00:22:10 Speaker_06
It got me fired up, man. I was out there screaming and hollering and you could hear how many Chiefs fans were in the Allegiance Stadium to man that place absolutely erupted when they got the fourth downstand because we had just had a big turnover and
00:22:24 Speaker_06
Um, backed up turnovers typically end in points. And when you can steal the ball back with the team trying to go for it on fourth down, man, it's just electric. You get so much momentum.
00:22:35 Speaker_06
And I'm pretty sure after that we we drove the ball all the way down and found a way to At least get some points. Yeah. A 19 play field goal drive.
00:22:43 Speaker_04
Oh wow. That's a long drive for just a field goal. Oh yeah. But 10 minutes o'clock you guys freaking really got after it. Yeah I don't know if there's anything more electric than a goal line stand.
00:22:53 Speaker_04
It is just like pure adrenaline when that fourth down doesn't work out.
00:22:57 Speaker_05
Oh yeah.
00:22:58 Speaker_04
We also got a great post from Drew Tranquil after the game. Yeah, he wasn't having any of this nonsense. Drew Tranquil said, Kermit and the boys vibing out in Arrowhead West. There we go.
00:23:11 Speaker_04
So, Allegiant Stadium is now Arrowhead West according to Drew Tranquil, love that. Was the Chiefs defense more fired up than usual to play the Raiders with all of the chatter that was going on in the offseason and leading up to the season?
00:23:23 Speaker_06
I don't think it really takes chatter for everybody to get fired up for a division rivalry. You know, I think everybody knows what's at stake and everybody wants to, you know, rise to the occasion and really make their statement.
00:23:34 Speaker_06
All the all the Kermit stuff that happened between the Raiders and them saying that they had the formula to stop Pat Mahomes.
00:23:40 Speaker_06
I think that was just, you know, icing on the cake of motivation to really go out there and show them that they didn't have that formula, you know, and we got to go out there and prove it again.
00:23:50 Speaker_06
We got to prove it again when we play him down the road here after Thanksgiving. And I know they'll be ready because we were out there. We were in a bar fight for four quarters there.
00:23:59 Speaker_06
We were fortunate enough to get that goal line stand, milk a lot of the clock, put some more points up on the board, get two score lead. But that team fights, man.
00:24:07 Speaker_06
Like I said, Coach Pierce, he's got those guys flying around playing tough football, man. And Max Crosby is a fucking dog, man. He is. Yes, he is. I can't get my fucking hands on him. I got to be better in the run game against him. It's difficult.
00:24:22 Speaker_06
Yeah, and he and he does a great job of just being, you know, wrecking havoc, man. Yeah. And he's he's one of those guys where you talk shit like you hate him during the game. And then afterwards, it's nothing but love, man.
00:24:33 Speaker_06
I got so much respect for him and how he carries himself and how he stands on being the face of that franchise and doesn't, you know, shy away from shy away from anything. You know, he loves he loves the Raiders organization. You can see that.
00:24:47 Speaker_06
And he just wants to win that.
00:24:49 Speaker_04
She's defense also just added a new weapon. Patriots former linebacker Josh Ucci.
00:24:55 Speaker_05
Yes, sir.
00:24:55 Speaker_04
Had 11 and a half sacks in 2022. He's an athlete, man. Sure. He's like typical like Patriots backer that can kind of do a little bit of everything. So those are always good pieces, especially because my man spags, he likes pieces like that.
00:25:10 Speaker_04
You can do all sorts of fun stuff with. That's always fun. Travis, you caught up with the Raiders' rookie tight end Brock Bowers after the game. Yeah. Do you typically ask for jerseys or were you just getting into the National Tight End Day season?
00:25:26 Speaker_06
You know, I always try and, you know, reach out to the rookies or at least the young guys getting into the league. I think Brock is, obviously, he's leading all tight ends in, I think, receptions and receiving yards. I'm not sure about receptions.
00:25:39 Speaker_06
I know he definitely has the yards right now. And 500 plus yards through, what is it, seven, eight games for him as a rookie? I mean, that's damn good right there.
00:25:49 Speaker_06
So he's got a lot of promise to be a staple at the tight end position for a long, long time, it being his rookie year, and he came into the league so young. only playing three years at Georgia and watching him play, man.
00:26:01 Speaker_06
He's he's got some he's got he's got a smooth game. You know, he's he's out there running similar routes to what I was kind of running earlier on in my career.
00:26:09 Speaker_06
And and I just always always want to make sure I look out for the for the young tight ends in the league and let them know they got my support, man.
00:26:18 Speaker_04
Absolutely. Well, uh, we got some LeBron stats. Travis now has the second longest active streak of games with at least one reception at 165 games behind only. Do you have new teammate Andre Hopkins? That's right. We just talked about this.
00:26:35 Speaker_06
You guys are you guys both aware that you're we're both we both know that we're we were drafted the same year. Obviously, he was drafted to Houston.
00:26:43 Speaker_06
I was the third rounder to Kansas City, and it's just been cool to see how how accountable he's been everywhere. Every, you know, organization, every offense he's been in, he's been the vocal point in.
00:26:55 Speaker_06
I just can't wait to see how his his role in this offense keeps progressing. But now we haven't talked about this and I'm pretty sure. I mean, I don't give a damn about it. Yeah, I don't think either one of us are thinking about the streets.
00:27:06 Speaker_06
We just go out there and we just ball.
00:27:08 Speaker_04
Yeah, I mean, I think that you just kind of go out there and play, right? Mahomes became the fastest quarterback to 30,000 career passing yards and through his 52nd regular season touchdown to none other than Travis Kelsey. That's right.
00:27:20 Speaker_04
Moving the quarterback tight end duo into third place in NFL history in that category. That's pretty freaking cool.
00:27:27 Speaker_06
Yeah, I'm pretty sure rivers and in case like 100 in like 19 you're never catching them. Are you kidding me? They played like they played like 1516 years together. And Gronk and Brady they played 13 years together and had, I think,
00:27:43 Speaker_06
100 as well with him going down to Tampa and having a bunch of tighties there outside of the unbelievable career They had in New England. So yeah, that's that's probably not gonna get touched.
00:27:54 Speaker_06
So I'll I'll take bronze medal in that I'll take a bronze medal in that it's fun next week. The Chiefs are at home versus the Bucks on Monday night football Jason Casey again, though
00:28:06 Speaker_04
Can't wait.
00:28:07 Speaker_06
You are you're tailgating with the with the the people. You are one with the people, the chiefs kingdom, as well as the Saints fan base. True, true, true, true, true. Do you have any fun stuff you're getting into yet or do you not know yet?
00:28:22 Speaker_04
I don't really know yet. I think we'll find out. I mean, we haven't talked about too much as a Monday night football team. I'm going to go out and yeah, we'll see what we get into. I think there's
00:28:33 Speaker_04
Listen, I love going to KC, love getting to watch Trab play. So not only do I get to work the first half, but I'll be able to hang out and see a bunch of friends and family and familiar faces in the second half and catch up with you after the game.
00:28:45 Speaker_04
So it's always fun when I get to come to Kansas City and watch Trab play.
00:28:48 Speaker_06
Banza City. Hey, yo. Well, the Bucs are putting up points on offense, so they need a big week in terms of prep this week so we can get on the same page and Make sure that we put up some teddies for our defense, man. But that's enough about the Chiefs.
00:29:02 Speaker_06
Let's get to the rest of the biggest stories coming out of week eight in the NFL as we start with the Eagles. Hey, Eagles, 37, Bengals, 17. God damn, they put up 37 on the Bengals. Yeah, buddy. Fly Eagles, fly. Go birds, baby.
00:29:17 Speaker_06
Jason, initial thoughts on the game?
00:29:19 Speaker_04
I thought this was the best game the Eagles have played collectively in a long time. I mean, They were good on both sides of the ball. The defense played well. Offense, probably their most complete game they've played, you know, this season, I'd say.
00:29:33 Speaker_04
And the Bengals, I know that their record indicates that they're not very good.
00:29:36 Speaker_05
They've been in every single game.
00:29:39 Speaker_04
Like these guys have been... you know, very close in all of them. So to be able to come out on top like this against a team that has played pretty much everybody tight in Cincinnati, I thought it was a very impressive game.
00:29:50 Speaker_04
And I think in particular, Jalen Hurts played his ass off, man. He was on point. He was dialed in. He was making smart decisions. The offense was in rhythm. And that's the big thing. Like, ever since AJ went down before Tampa,
00:30:05 Speaker_04
It's felt like the offense has been a little bit like not disconnected, but you know, just very spotty. And it hasn't really been able to find that cohesiveness, that, that timing. And, uh, they had it this past week against the Bengals.
00:30:18 Speaker_04
So it was fun to watch.
00:30:19 Speaker_06
Well, despite not scoring in the first quarter yet again, they still put up 37 points.
00:30:24 Speaker_04
It was close. It was close. They got a field goal like right after the first quarter ended, I believe, but.
00:30:28 Speaker_06
That's still though, man. That's fucking that's insane that you don't score for a quarter and you still put up 37 points The Eagles do remain the NFL I believe right now.
00:30:38 Speaker_06
That's I mean, that's a good turn it on baby Yeah, they they remain the only NFL team scoreless in the first quarter partly due to a Bengals 10-minute opening drive, which is also a That's that's pretty impressive.
00:30:51 Speaker_06
Starting ice cold, just waiting for the ball to get back in your hands or get the ball for the first time. Jalen finished with 236 yards with one touchdown, three rushing TD's. That's right.
00:31:03 Speaker_04
Pushes in there, baby.
00:31:04 Speaker_06
No interceptions, which is always a big thing. Turnovers will kill you. One of the most electric plays of the game came towards the end of the third quarter, though. Jalen connected with Devontae Smith. Yeah, buddy. That's right.
00:31:16 Speaker_06
Skinny Batman for a 45-yard TD. And you just gotta love it when Skinny Batman comes down with the play, because he's just one of the best teammates you could have, man. You could tell the guy just does it right, man. No doubt.
00:31:27 Speaker_04
He added something to the swear jar at the end of this play. Yeah, buddy.
00:31:39 Speaker_06
Yes, you do.
00:31:40 Speaker_04
You do fucking do that.
00:31:43 Speaker_06
You do fucking do this, man.
00:31:45 Speaker_04
Yeah!
00:31:59 Speaker_07
He lost his chain.
00:32:03 Speaker_06
He still doesn't give a fuck. You know why he doesn't give a fuck? Because he fucking does this.
00:32:07 Speaker_07
Yeah.
00:32:10 Speaker_06
Just call it, baby. I'm getting fired up just watching it. Just fired me up right there. Hey, listen, he ain't lying.
00:32:17 Speaker_04
He does it.
00:32:18 Speaker_06
He doesn't lie. He does it very well, too. Glad to see him back in the end zone yet again. Saquon finished with 108 yards himself, topped 100 scrimmage yards for the sixth time in seven games with the Eagles.
00:32:30 Speaker_06
The guy's having a fucking unbelievable season, man. If I got any notes for the Eagles, I'd say get Saquon the ball.
00:32:35 Speaker_04
Keep giving them the ball. Not bad.
00:32:37 Speaker_06
The Eagles also scored on five of their second half possessions. Like you said, they're one of the best teams in the NFL in the second half. That is always a good time to turn it on.
00:32:48 Speaker_06
Jason, what do you think has caused this offense to suddenly start, you know, having mesh, having that click, having that, you know, rhythm and, uh, and finding, uh, finding points.
00:32:58 Speaker_04
You know, I don't know. I mean, they've had a lot of like, obviously there have been injuries. AJ and Smitty were out at a certain point. And then I think it just felt like it took a little bit to get that rhythm back.
00:33:09 Speaker_04
It felt like they got to a little bit more play action this week. And I just felt like, you know, they were on it. Everybody was on it this week. And the timing was there. The cohesiveness was there. It felt like the plan all went together.
00:33:22 Speaker_04
It just felt in every phase from you know, the players to the coaches, everybody was really on one this game.
00:33:30 Speaker_04
And, you know, that's one of the reasons so hard football is like, it only takes a little bit to be off, even when you got the players that the Eagles have, even when you got the guy like Jalen Hurts back there.
00:33:41 Speaker_05
Yeah.
00:33:42 Speaker_04
So hopefully this is something that they can build on. They can build on this confidence, this cohesion and, you know, keep it moving forward because it's fun to watch, man. When the Eagles are on, when A.J.
00:33:55 Speaker_04
Brown is on, it is a fun offense to watch for Danger.
00:33:59 Speaker_06
Damn straight. Well, let's talk a little Eagles defense because holding that high-powered Bangles offense to only 17 points. I mean, that's damn good. So maybe the biggest upgrade since September has been the play of the Eagles secondary.
00:34:13 Speaker_04
Yes, sir.
00:34:14 Speaker_06
Burrow was one for two for 13 yards targeting rookie DB. Quinion Mitchell. It's pretty good.
00:34:21 Speaker_06
Cooper Dijon has allowed five receptions on eight targets for just 25 yards since becoming the starting slot cornerback, also known as the nickel, in Philadelphia in week six.
00:34:34 Speaker_04
Both of these rookies have been playing lights out. Quinion Mitchell has been up to the task against everybody this year. It's really been impressive to watch his ascent as a young player.
00:34:43 Speaker_04
And then Koop started getting the start a couple weeks ago, as you just said, in week six, the defense just playing more aggressive. And it's a lot of fun to watch right now. They've really had two subpar games.
00:34:54 Speaker_04
When you think about it against the Saints in Tampa Bay, and Atlanta in Tampa Bay, sorry, they played lights out against the Saints.
00:35:03 Speaker_04
And Atlanta, for two different reasons, I mean, Atlanta, they just could not stop that outside zone runs to the weak side. And they finally have got that figured out. And then
00:35:15 Speaker_04
And Tampa just felt like everything was so off and like, you know, very passive in terms of what they were giving underneath. Now, Tampa Bay has some great players. I mean, you want to give those guys some cushion, so I get it.
00:35:29 Speaker_04
But they have answered the bell by being much more aggressive. In particular, there was a great play by Cooper Dejean on a fourth down. where Chase was going in motion.
00:35:40 Speaker_04
And he even said, like, the moment he kind of saw Chase go in motion, he had an idea that they were going to try and get him the ball on something quick. And sure enough, they tried to throw it out to chase in the flat, like right now.
00:35:55 Speaker_04
Yeah, I mean, those are those motions where you go back and forth.
00:35:57 Speaker_06
I mean, that's what you yeah, that's what you do on those kind of motions as you try and get the ball quick to him. Yeah, it's a play by the rookie. And sorry for saying your last name Dijon instead of Dijon. I don't, yeah, I think that's it.
00:36:09 Speaker_06
I mean, it makes sense. That's how it's spelled. Jason, you got any final thoughts on the game? Is it, are the Eagles?
00:36:15 Speaker_04
I think they're a new team because they're continuing to get better. Nice. Continuing to evolve as the season's going. Nice. You know, we've known this. We've known that the Eagles have great players. Have they been like the best team every single week.
00:36:29 Speaker_04
No, because this is a this is a process of getting better each and every week. The defense has shown that they're being more aggressive in the secondary. The defensive line has really stepped up on offense.
00:36:41 Speaker_04
Jalen Hurts played his best game of the year, in part because all the weapons are there. The offensive line made him feel really comfortable. Him and the coaches continue to get on the same page, especially with new play caller Kellen Moore.
00:36:52 Speaker_04
And he just felt comfortable back there. You could tell.
00:36:55 Speaker_05
Yeah.
00:36:56 Speaker_04
You know, as long as that continues to trend in that way, you're going to see a great team from Philadelphia because they have the talent. They have great coaches and great scheming. Like, this is awesome to see.
00:37:07 Speaker_04
This is what I think everybody expected to see out of Philadelphia going into the season.
00:37:12 Speaker_06
Yeah, this is the standard. This is the standard.
00:37:14 Speaker_04
You know, they got a big game this next week in Jacksonville.
00:37:17 Speaker_06
Well, Doug P. Ooh, Dougie P. That's right. The Jags are better than their two and six record. We all know that Dougie P can scheme some stuff up pretty damn good. But they also have four of those six losses by less than one score.
00:37:32 Speaker_04
Yeah, they've they're another team that's been close in most of these games. Their record could very easily be different.
00:37:38 Speaker_06
Yeah.
00:37:38 Speaker_04
So yeah, it's a big game this week.
00:37:40 Speaker_06
Well, we got a few LeBron stats of the game. Jalen Hurts is the first quarterback in NFL history to have three or more games with three plus rushing touchdowns. Yay.
00:37:50 Speaker_04
Here we go. Here we go, Jalen.
00:37:51 Speaker_06
There we go. Identical twins Chase and Sidney Brown faced off for the first time in the NFL and also made history as the first Canadian identical twins to go head to head in the NFL. Nice. Nice. Nice. That a boy, eh? Here we go. Here we go, eh? Huh?
00:38:07 Speaker_06
The twins facing off, eh? Eh? All right, eh? We're excited about another week with our sponsor, MetaQuest and the MetaQuest 3 Mixed Reality Headset. And as NFL pros ourselves, it only makes sense for us to offer our expert opinion on NFL Pro Era.

How about that? All right. Now, plus this season in pro era, you're not only running the offense through the eyes of the quarterback, but you're also showcasing your skills on defense by calling plays and filling gaps as a linebacker.
00:38:51 Speaker_04
That's right, Trav. In the new defense mode in NFL pro era, you can play against the Eagles or Chiefs. So you can feel what it's really like to try to defend the brotherly shove or get trucked by Pat Mahomes in the end zone.

00:41:05 Speaker_04
Yeah, a little Monday night action. Obviously, you know, I was talking about it last night. I think everybody was talking about it on Twitter. The George Pickens catch or not catch.
00:41:15 Speaker_06
Dude. Insane.
00:41:17 Speaker_04
Yeah, I think everybody's been very quick to point out he needs both feet down, not just two feet. And I got to admit, I had I didn't know what the ruling was like. He clearly got two steps down. Yeah, right here. It is for everybody that didn't see it.
00:41:31 Speaker_04
It's pushed. And then somehow the left never touches.
00:41:35 Speaker_06
Yeah. So the right the right foot hits twice the left one because he got hit.
00:41:41 Speaker_06
uh the way he did uh never catches the ground which i'm not gonna lie about the defender i mean hell of a fucking play and that's why you finish the play even if the guy's got it got it in his hands that's why you finish the play like that man i said this last night this is a great point go ahead every
00:42:00 Speaker_04
Every once in a while, there's a catch made that makes everybody re-evaluate what a catch is. Like there's a Des Bryant one that happened in the playoff game. Oh, there's so many.
00:42:09 Speaker_04
Where it's just like, I think to everybody watching, this so much obviously should have been a catch. He catches it midway in the end zone and they rule him out of bounds. And I get it, by rule, it does say both feet. You need the right and the left.
00:42:25 Speaker_04
I understand that that is the rule. I just think that there's, See, I go back and forth on this though, too. Like by this rule, somebody could catch the ball in the middle of the field and hop on one leg till they get out of bounds.
00:42:37 Speaker_04
And he's out of bounds. Like, no, I mean, come on. But we've seen how much changing we, every time they add an addendum to any of these rules. Addendum. Nice.
00:42:49 Speaker_04
every time they add like this little, like, oh, it's then this, or then this, it feels like it becomes harder in some ways to gauge what it catches. So maybe we shouldn't change it.
00:42:59 Speaker_04
We just know that like that, like everyone knows that's a catch, just not by the NFL rules, played by George Pickens.
00:43:07 Speaker_04
And I feel like there's, in some ways I feel like they should add an addendum and say like, hey, if you hop twice on the same leg, like clearly two separate steps, that should be in balance, but there should be a good judgment clause.
00:43:19 Speaker_06
And there should be somebody in New York saying, yes, that was that I override that. That was a touchdown. I know the rules might not say it, but we just don't have enough leeway to like create rules for every single like situation.
00:43:32 Speaker_06
It's just like, or maybe they change, maybe they change this and they put it in there. Like if you, if you, if you hop twice and have a football player, have the possession and
00:43:41 Speaker_06
that counts as two feet, like one foot and an elbow, one foot and a knee, you know, the all these others, but I guess two feet of the same foot is Not a catch.
00:43:53 Speaker_04
I mean, the problem is if they change it, it just leads to like more discrepancy. Like there's going to be one where like a guy is going to like step and then toe drag the same foot. And then people will be like, that's two feet.
00:44:05 Speaker_04
And it's like, dude, this was like two very distinct steps. He caught it five yards in bounds when he first like got it on his hands.
00:44:15 Speaker_07
Yeah.
00:44:17 Speaker_04
That's the problem.
00:44:18 Speaker_07
It's tough.
00:44:19 Speaker_04
It's tough to me. I mean, I don't know how you can be out of bounds the way it was a mind blowing play.
00:44:28 Speaker_07
I remember seeing it just when they first said like, I was like, what?
00:44:33 Speaker_04
How is that possible with where he started at? And then it's like, okay, but I guess the easy way to say it is like, Hey, you know, Drag your foot, I don't know.
00:44:41 Speaker_06
Yeah, I hear you.
00:44:42 Speaker_04
Straighten that left foot out.
00:44:42 Speaker_06
Don't even put it in the ref's hands, yeah.
00:44:44 Speaker_04
Either way, hell of a play by George Pickens. And a hell of a play by the DB. Yeah, that's right, that's right.
00:44:50 Speaker_04
National Tight End Day, or as I like to call it, Sunday, Travis, tight ends across the league, celebrated Travis's favorite holiday by setting all sorts of records. That's right, there were 16 total touchdowns, the most tight end touchdowns ever.
00:45:08 Speaker_04
on National Tight Ends Day.
00:45:10 Speaker_06
This is why it was National Tight Ends Day.
00:45:12 Speaker_04
I mean, that's a brilliant idea by tight ends. Hey, let's create a national tight ends for all our coaches. Scheme up touchdown plays for the tight ends.
00:45:18 Speaker_06
George, brilliant, brilliant little thing right there. He came up with that one. It was brilliant.
00:45:23 Speaker_04
There was also 177 total catches on National Tight End Day. The most ever on National Tight End Day. Some highlights. I think everybody saw 49ers. George Kittle had a huge touchdown play. George had a fucking day. He had a nice day. Six catches for 128.
00:45:41 Speaker_04
Kyle Shanahan was definitely... Another tutty, man. Kyle Shanahan was definitely celebrating national tight end Dave Buck's tight end Kate Otten. That's right.
00:45:49 Speaker_06
With with their receivers. Sneaky solid year this year, man. That's right.
00:45:55 Speaker_04
Two receivers down. Yeah.
00:45:57 Speaker_06
He's becoming the old reliable with no gloves, baby. Two tutties.
00:46:01 Speaker_04
Dude, I hate I do. I don't know why I don't like when guys don't wear gloves. It's just not like I have. Like, listen, teach your own. But it's just like, why would you put yourself at a disadvantage? I don't understand. Like, it's so much better
00:46:13 Speaker_04
wearing gloves, so why do you not wear gloves? Like, what are you proving?
00:46:17 Speaker_06
Whatever floats your boat finds the lost remote, baby.
00:46:19 Speaker_04
Is it just me, like, I'm tough? Like, there's no way you're better at catching without gloves.
00:46:24 Speaker_06
I don't think Cade's trying to prove something like he's tough. I think he just... I just think he doesn't like gloves.
00:46:29 Speaker_04
Maybe it's too sticky. That makes no sense to me. It is, like, so much easier to catch in gloves.
00:46:34 Speaker_06
Maybe it's not for him.
00:46:36 Speaker_04
There's no chance. I'm not buying it. Like when I see D tackle, like V to V would never wear gloves. I'm like, do you just love fucking your fingers up? Just put some gloves on, man. You're going to be, it's going to feel way better.
00:46:46 Speaker_06
What's fucking his fingers up.
00:46:47 Speaker_04
Have you ever not worn a glove and tried to block my right hand? I couldn't wear a glove on because I need to snap the ball. Right. And I could not snap with a glove on.
00:46:55 Speaker_04
I hate I wanted so bad to put a glove on this hand because it would always get cut up. It would always get bloodied. It would get bruised. And I just couldn't grab as good like the materials on hand that they make the gloves.
00:47:08 Speaker_06
So you couldn't grab as good with the glove on but K dot and no, I can't.
00:47:14 Speaker_04
No, that's not me. I can grab as good with the glove. But because I wasn't allowed to wear it. I didn't get that mechanical advantage.
00:47:19 Speaker_06
Wait, why weren't you allowed to wear it?
00:47:20 Speaker_04
Well, I was allowed to, but I couldn't snap the ball with it.
00:47:22 Speaker_06
It's like stuck to the ball too much. So it is too sticky in times.
00:47:27 Speaker_04
Yeah, it's great for catching, not for throwing sometimes. Yes, absolutely. I will agree with that.
00:47:30 Speaker_06
Well, I mean, quarterbacks use it all the time. Peyton Manning was a Hall of Fame quarterback.
00:47:34 Speaker_04
Yeah, they use it. Yeah. Well, I couldn't do it with the snapping, but this has nothing to do. There is absolutely nobody who cannot catch a ball better with those rubber, basically stick-em gloves on. Like, I don't believe that.
00:47:49 Speaker_06
I just got good sticky hands, man. You don't see Kate out here dropping the ball. Guy had a guy had nine catches.
00:47:56 Speaker_04
I don't want to make this about Kate.
00:47:57 Speaker_04
I just think it's dumb when people don't take advantage of all of the what are you going to call on Dallas Clark for the legendary career he had Dallas Clark was a phenomenal receiver and he would have been 10 times better if he could get phenomenal tight end, whatever.
00:48:12 Speaker_04
He would have been 10 times better if he could have had gloves on. He would have been catching like... 10 times better? He would have been like Odell Beckham. If he's catching the ball like that with no gloves, he would have been like... You're crazy.
00:48:22 Speaker_04
He would have been out there plucking apples.
00:48:24 Speaker_07
You're crazy, dude.
00:48:26 Speaker_04
Dude, I'm not buying this. It is stupid not to wear gloves.
00:48:28 Speaker_05
You're hilarious. It's not.
00:48:29 Speaker_06
Do Titans just spend all week packing OCs for touches? No, I haven't talked to my offensive coordinator about touches just because it's National Titan Day.
00:48:40 Speaker_04
You should just find like a different holiday or birthday or anything.
00:48:44 Speaker_06
Tom, you know it's my birthday. You know it's National 87 Day? Yeah. Did you know it's National I Shave My Mustache Day? Did you know it's National Hairy Chest Day? Just keep coming up with them every single week. Washington, hail Mary.
00:49:05 Speaker_06
Let's get into a few other games, man. Maybe the play of the year so far. The Commanders went down 15 to 12. Two seconds left on the clock. Jaden Daniels scrambles around for a little bit and then just absolutely heaves a 66-yard pass.
00:49:19 Speaker_06
And when I say he threw that thing from about the 35-yard line, he threw it from about his own 35-yard line. It was absolutely electric. It counted as a 52-yard Hail Mary, but let's see this pass to Noah Brown. Yep, create, create.
00:49:34 Speaker_06
Let everybody get down there. Let everybody get down there. Nice. Move around. O-line's doing a great job. Shout out to Nikki Allegretti, Andrew Wiley. Um, and then the, the heave, the heave, you gotta have a tip man. You gotta have the tip man.
00:49:47 Speaker_06
And then the guy in the front and the guy in the back is perfectly executed by the, uh, by the gang over there. Kingsbury does a great job of making sure his guys know what to do in a situation like that.
00:49:56 Speaker_06
And, uh, you got great players making, making big time plays towards the end. I mean, the bears thought they had that thing finished. Yeah, they they went up 15, 15, 12 with with a few seconds left.
00:50:08 Speaker_06
And somehow they got into range to to throw a fucking Hail Mary, man. Somehow. Well, I mean, the first play, the first play is what I'm saying.
00:50:17 Speaker_04
They know somehow about it. They're playing 50 yards off playing Hail Mary on the play before. Like, what are you doing?
00:50:22 Speaker_06
Yeah, that's that's tough.
00:50:23 Speaker_04
We got like, you got to know, bro, when are the 30 yard line? They're not throwing a Hail Mary. If they're going to do anything, they're going to run like a gadget play to try and
00:50:31 Speaker_04
Like it's either sideline or you're running like the the last play that you have, which is like a bunch of ladders, right? Like nobody's throwing the Hail Mary from the 30. I mean, you can, but. don't usually happen, right? So it was surprising.
00:50:46 Speaker_04
I mean, they, they, they basically gave them 15 free yards to where now they are in the military territory.
00:50:51 Speaker_06
That's tough.
00:50:52 Speaker_04
They got guys talking trash. I felt, I mean, Stevenson owned it, but, um, yeah, this one sucks, man.
00:50:58 Speaker_06
You got fans pointing at the, uh, at the play, telling them that the, there's a play going on while he's, he's taught them. It got snapped. This is tough, man. This is tough. You, uh, you don't really want to,
00:51:12 Speaker_06
be doing that before the game's over with let alone while there while there could be a play being ran but obviously it's uh it's magnified because he's the one that tipped the ball fuck not only did he tip it but and trav i'll ask you this because
00:51:28 Speaker_04
You are the jumper on the Chiefs defensive Hail Mary.
00:51:32 Speaker_06
Not all the time. But yeah, there's a there's a situation where I've gone back there. Yeah, for sure.
00:51:37 Speaker_04
Not only was he celebrating, which I mean, that alone, I feel like and he's already announced that he that he fucked up. He knows he fucked up. But then he also, when he jumped, he like swats up at the ball.
00:51:49 Speaker_04
I'm like, you're not supposed to do that either. Like, everybody knows, like, do not hit that ball up.
00:51:54 Speaker_06
You kind of want to stay behind the trajectory.
00:51:57 Speaker_04
I know it's harder.
00:51:58 Speaker_06
We're acting like it's easier said than this is. You're trying to high point it. You're trying to get it deflected so it's not just like a straight catch. Yeah. But you really want to spike that thing down. You want to volleyball hit that thing down.
00:52:09 Speaker_06
Correct. Two hand spike down is like the big, because you get more surface area on the hand to hit it. get more control of it. And I like to stay behind the ball and come at it. So you see how he's coming down the line of scrimmage?
00:52:22 Speaker_04
Or down the goal line? He was coming sideways because he was kind of late to it. He wasn't even supposed to be the jumper. He was supposed to be the guy in the back.
00:52:27 Speaker_06
I mean, everybody's got to try and make a play on the ball if they can.
00:52:30 Speaker_04
For sure. Yeah, I'm not saying that.
00:52:32 Speaker_06
I don't know what their defensive rules were on this.
00:52:35 Speaker_04
Somebody was definitely supposed to be... They came out and said he was supposed to be on... Noah Brown, he was supposed to be on the guy in the back.
00:52:42 Speaker_04
But either way, like you said, even the guy in the back can make a play on the ball if he has the opportunity. Right? Like everybody's got free reign for that.
00:52:50 Speaker_06
You got to have somebody on there.
00:52:51 Speaker_04
You ain't supposed to tip it up.
00:52:53 Speaker_06
Yeah, I like to stay behind it. I like to stay behind the ball and be able to run forward at it. That way I can meet the the angle better.
00:53:01 Speaker_04
Yeah, try and knock it down.
00:53:02 Speaker_06
Yeah. Either way, though, you got to you got to try and deflect that thing down by if if possible, by all means. And he just he couldn't get a good a good hit on it, man. And it's just a bunch of stuff that just sucks, man.
00:53:17 Speaker_06
Because he's taking quite the heat right now. Yeah. And he did the right thing by trying to let everybody know.
00:53:25 Speaker_04
Yeah, he owned up to it. I mean, that's all you can do. And I think Coach Ibrafus is a great coach. I played against him when he was in Dallas a lot. And he used to give me nuts.
00:53:33 Speaker_04
Him and Sean Lee and some of the backers they had, I think he's a fantastic coach. I don't even this shouldn't have even been, this shouldn't have ever happened.
00:53:42 Speaker_04
I think if you if you make the right call in the first one, and you play sideline, and I just don't think you get into this situation to begin with.
00:53:49 Speaker_06
Yeah, moving on, though. Let's talk a little Browns football, baby little Believeland up there in the Lake Erie, baby. Heyo! Jameis leads Browns in an upset victory.
00:54:01 Speaker_06
Jameis Winston made his first starts as 2002 and led the Browns to an incredible comeback win. Why do you think Jameis was able to come in and cook when the Browns had looked so bad on offense?
00:54:14 Speaker_04
Well, first of all, they had a new play caller. Ken Dorsey was calling plays in this game. But I think also like Jameis came in, it was Jameis. He had a bunch of turnover worthy plays and he had a bunch of highlight throws.
00:54:28 Speaker_04
Like this is who Jameis has been his whole career. Like at times, Jameis can make magic happen.
00:54:33 Speaker_06
This is true.
00:54:34 Speaker_04
Come on. This dude has some every game he plays, it's going to be an electric play, either good or bad. And it is going to be the best soundbite of all time after the game. And he's never changed. And he still isn't changing.
00:54:48 Speaker_04
He knows a white boy from Detroit. Like bro, this was the quintessential Jamis game. He played great. He had a lot of unbelievable plays. He also had a couple plays that probably could have been turnovers that got dropped.
00:55:00 Speaker_04
Like he's going to put points up. He's going to find a way to put points on the board. It might be, it's going to be a high scoring game with Jamis is involved for both teams. I'm not trying to be like, I love dude, I absolutely love.
00:55:13 Speaker_06
I do already know we we were big fans of Jay Winston, man. Yeah. Most importantly, we we got some more iconic quotes from James, like you just mentioned, the guy up and the white boy from Detroit.
00:55:26 Speaker_04
I love that he then followed it up with named Eminem. Like everybody knows when you said, you know, white boy in Detroit, who you're referencing.
00:55:33 Speaker_06
There's a white boy from Detroit that I really admired named Eminem. He said, you only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow. This is an opportunity last once in a lifetime. I mean, it's great. That was his quote after the game.
00:55:49 Speaker_06
Before the game, though, he's in the huddle trying to get everyone fired up and ready for the game. And he says, every one of us has an... Oh, here we go.
00:55:56 Speaker_02
Once in a lifetime. And with those opportunities, we have to make the most of it. Every one of us have an individual responsibility to go out there and fight for each other. Represents the names on your back, represents the names that's on your helmet.
00:56:09 Speaker_02
Well, we don't got a big helmet. So represent the names, all right? One play at a time, all right? Together. He's so good.
00:56:17 Speaker_07
He's genuinely himself, man. You gotta love it.
00:56:18 Speaker_04
Well, that's why it's good, because so many times when people are doing either the sound bites after the game or the motivational speeches, they're just latching on to, like, cliches, and it ends up being, like, nothing exciting, and everybody's just sitting there like,
00:56:32 Speaker_04
Oh my gosh, will you shut up so we can go in there and freaking get dressed for this freaking game already? If you got the right one doing it, though, for sure. And James is the right one.
00:56:41 Speaker_04
I would be as close to possible every time he's doing it, because I'm like, I want to hear what this dude's about to say, because it is going to be. Electric and fucking hilarious. I need to hear exactly what this dude's about to say at all times.
00:56:53 Speaker_06
Coach, quote of the week, Sean Payton had a brutally honest quote about the Panthers. In quotes, that's not a good offense we played. It's just the truth. We expected that we're going to see a lot better teams.
00:57:07 Speaker_06
I mean, I mean, Sean Payton has always gathered He's always spoke his mind.
00:57:11 Speaker_04
Sean Payton don't give a fuck anymore.
00:57:12 Speaker_06
He's always spoke his mind. Yeah, he had quite the words to say about Nathaniel Hatchett, I think his name was.
00:57:18 Speaker_04
He kind of walked that one back. He knew he kind of went a little bit too hard. He walked it back a little bit last year, but.
00:57:23 Speaker_06
Because he took some heat.
00:57:25 Speaker_04
Everybody was giving him shit for it.
00:57:26 Speaker_06
Yeah, but he still spoke his mind. Panthers cornerback J.C. Horn also confronted Sean Payton after the game, letting him know they didn't appreciate Denver running up the score. Interesting.
00:57:37 Speaker_06
The Broncos ran a fake field goal and a trick play on fourth and two while up 20s.
00:57:42 Speaker_04
I mean, it's fucking hilarious is what that is.
00:57:46 Speaker_07
That's fucked. What does he have against the Panthers?
00:57:53 Speaker_04
Who knows? It's just working on plays, I guess. I don't know.
00:57:57 Speaker_07
Just got to get it on film. Keep everybody honest.
00:58:00 Speaker_04
We're building confidence.
00:58:04 Speaker_07
Fuck it, man. Yeah.
00:58:06 Speaker_04
All right. Listen, pretty shitty. But at the same time, like, dude, this is the NFL. I don't want to hear nobody getting salty about running.
00:58:15 Speaker_05
This is man. It's the NFL.
00:58:17 Speaker_04
You're getting paid to do this. You don't got no right to be complaining about that.
00:58:21 Speaker_05
I hear you on that, man. You just got to step up, man. Stop the fake.
00:58:25 Speaker_04
Why are you guys trying? We're literally, it's our job.
00:58:30 Speaker_06
All right, and that does it for our week eight bold topics brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. Let's talk a little Jason out of the house. Hey.
00:58:40 Speaker_04
All righty, out of the house. Moving on. Let's get out of the house and talk a little Monday night football. Hey-o. Out of the house is brought to you by Coke Zero Sugar. Tackle game day with the irresistible taste of Coke Zero Sugar.
00:58:54 Speaker_04
Is it the best Coke ever? Might want to try it and decide for yourself. Yeah, why don't you tell us?
00:58:59 Speaker_06
Alrighty, Jason got out of the house yet again, man. You keep doing this every Monday, don't you? It's my job. Yes, sir. I have to leave the house in the three rivers. The three rivers. How about that, man?
00:59:12 Speaker_06
You were down on the on the rivers hanging out on the water. Yeah.
00:59:15 Speaker_04
But yeah, it was a lot of fun. The fans made it fun. Steelers. I mean, dude, they were into it. Scott van Pelt pointed out to me something like Every team wears their jerseys to games, but in particular, like Steelers, it is like everybody.
00:59:30 Speaker_04
Nobody's in that stadium that's a Steelers fan without a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey.
00:59:33 Speaker_06
It's crazy, man. Yeah. It's like that is the place you wear jerseys.
00:59:37 Speaker_04
It's a sea of black and yellow.
00:59:38 Speaker_06
Yeah, it's a crazy place to play in. That's for damn sure. And we get to go out there in Christmas while everybody's all fired up getting presents and shit. Jason, you were waving around the terrible towel, though.
00:59:49 Speaker_06
I don't know how the birds fans appreciated this, but hey, man, this is a gift from a man worldwide. Well, yeah, I forgot you were you're on like a world tour getting gifts from everybody. This is cool.
00:59:58 Speaker_04
That's right. I'm getting I'm getting all sorts of good gifts, knickknacks. This this tile in particular has been to 17 different stadiums, Wes said. Nice. How about that? He's been taking it everywhere.
01:00:08 Speaker_04
He said if you drop it, the rule is you got to kiss it. Rules are rules. Since this thing's been to 17 stadiums, I'm going to try to avoid.
01:00:13 Speaker_03
Never washed.
01:00:16 Speaker_04
It's got some fade to it, but I don't know if that's a sun fade or if that's faded from getting washed. Don't know, can't tell you.
01:00:23 Speaker_06
Very interesting. Experience any cool Steelers fan traditions?
01:00:27 Speaker_04
The boat stuff is pretty dope. There was a guy that was like a flying Troy Palomalo is what he said. They get on these like boats and they go out there. Yeah, that's actually sweet. Yeah, they got that.
01:00:36 Speaker_04
The terrible towel tradition and like some of the lore behind that and having to kiss it if you drop it, I think it's pretty cool. Outside of that, we got to hang out with the Coast Guard.
01:00:44 Speaker_04
got to sit in front of a 50 cal gun on the front of those things, which I might do you want to like, as a man this thing, this thing can do some damage here, dude.
01:00:54 Speaker_04
I don't I know you guys aren't doing any damage, but it's good to know that these guys got these things in case we need those things.
01:00:59 Speaker_06
You ever shot one of those things?
01:01:00 Speaker_04
What they had on it? Yeah, a 50 cal machine gun. No, I have not shot a shot.
01:01:04 Speaker_06
If you haven't done that, you need to.
01:01:06 Speaker_04
When have you done that?
01:01:09 Speaker_06
Nevada Viva Las Vegas. You can do fucking anything. And I got on the top of an old Jeep. And they had some bowling pins sitting like about a fucking quarter mile half a mile down there. And I just was electric, dude. I love that. I'll do it again.
01:01:31 Speaker_06
We need to get this shit done. Jason, you were in a piggy blinders outfit. I don't know that this is necessary. I'm telling you, dude, you pop up on that screen. Nobody knows what the fuck you're about to show up looking like. And it's impressive to me.
01:01:44 Speaker_06
I mean, you don't always, you know, pull off the dapper look like this, man. You got your your old Englishman hat and that corduroy jacket, man. You look I mean, that thing is sweet, dude.
01:01:53 Speaker_04
The corduroy suit was nice. The corduroy suit was real nice. And the last game we were at in Buffalo, it was windy. And I was like, dude, I got to have something thick. I got to have some thicker material. We're out here at night in fall.
01:02:07 Speaker_04
So the corduroy definitely was way warmer. And then the hat just kept the heat in nice.
01:02:12 Speaker_06
Nice. Well, we can't pass by you rocking the old two five. That's right. Ryan Clark's old jersey. That's right. Down by the water, man. Showing some love to a legendary stealer. And you're what would you call him? Your your new teammate.
01:02:29 Speaker_04
My my my deskmate.
01:02:30 Speaker_06
Your deskmate. Nice. Your new deskmate. Well, I guess it isn't new anymore. It's week eight. ESPN tweeted out in quotes, some people would say you are a snack, especially in that outfit. I guess that's what SVP said.
01:02:45 Speaker_04
Well, that's what this woman was wearing.
01:02:47 Speaker_06
Oh, is that? Oh, no.
01:02:48 Speaker_04
I'm just here for Jason Kelsey and snacks.
01:02:52 Speaker_06
Oh, nice. And he was mentioning he followed it up with some nice.
01:02:55 Speaker_04
You are a snack.
01:02:57 Speaker_06
Yeah.
01:02:58 Speaker_04
Outfit.
01:02:58 Speaker_06
Yeah, you are. You dapper son of a buck.
01:03:01 Speaker_04
And then somebody else, I think it might have been Scott or maybe it was Marcus said, good thing Kylie's not here.
01:03:07 Speaker_06
I mean, everybody's just showing love. Showing love to J. Kelce up there, man.
01:03:12 Speaker_04
Well, it was fun. Pittsburgh was awesome. The fans were into it. The terrible time I was electric, waving that thing around and seeing everybody else wave it around. It's like a call and response. Pretty dope. The Yinzers.
01:03:23 Speaker_06
Yeah.
01:03:23 Speaker_04
So yeah, it's kind of accumulating knickknacks.
01:03:27 Speaker_06
I respect it, man. You get all those trinkets.
01:03:32 Speaker_04
I got my chicken wing necklace.

You've heard us talk about how much we both love getting out of the house to try new restaurants whenever we can. Jason, you were out of the house in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Bristol lately. Did you get any new dishes?
01:05:48 Speaker_04
I did. I actually got a nice Reuben with some fries and coleslaw on. It's pretty good, pretty good, pretty good.

All right, now it's officially time to bring on our guest. That's right. We are not professional at all. So we're just going to have a fun convo with you, all right? We want to make sure that you knew ahead of time that this is amateur hour over here.
01:06:44 Speaker_01
OK, let's get into it.
01:06:46 Speaker_06
So very similar to my acting ability. But all right, here we go.
01:06:48 Speaker_01
Can I just say something? Of course. Travis, I'm so glad that you text me and told me you had a new phone number because I've been texting your number, trying to just gassing you up, telling you you did so good.
01:07:02 Speaker_01
I was asking you, like, what did your teammates, what your people say? Like, you know, how you feeling about it? Did you watch it? And you know what I got? Crickets. I said, I know you ain't got brand new. Oh no, not me, not me.
01:07:18 Speaker_05
I didn't have to switch it up though.
01:07:20 Speaker_01
Did you see how I shook my neck around when I said it? Because that's what I meant. I know you didn't get brand new.
01:07:26 Speaker_06
Not me, not me. You know me better than that. It was getting crazy. It was getting crazy. I was finally in a show with someone as amazing as you. I had everybody hitting me up, blowing me up. I had to switch it up on them, man. No, I'm sorry about that.
01:07:39 Speaker_06
You already know. And I'll tell you what, I got clowned once I started talking about that banana hammock. So this is what I've been wanting. I know you- Big Peter and the banana splitter.
01:07:53 Speaker_04
All of it. That's my favorite line.
01:07:55 Speaker_01
What did your teammates think of it?
01:07:57 Speaker_06
They're very interested in the dynamic on the show. Everybody's kind of mind blown on what's really going on during the show. So that is kind of taking everybody's mind away from me as an actor. They're involved in- They're engulfed in the story.
01:08:15 Speaker_06
Yeah, they're engulfed in the story now. So it's like- That's how you know it's good. Yeah, exactly.
01:08:19 Speaker_06
And then and then during the the character switch up, the look is where I started getting clown there was the mullet suited me in the show, but does not suit me outside of it.
01:08:32 Speaker_04
So I know Chris Jones has told has said something about this show. I know Chris Jones.
01:08:36 Speaker_06
You know what Chris hasn't Chris hasn't hasn't came up to me yet. I hope he does, though. I hope he does. Five is hilarious, man. He's one of a kind.
01:08:45 Speaker_01
I love it. I love it. I just want to say I thought you did such a good job.
01:08:49 Speaker_05
I appreciate that, Niecy.
01:08:51 Speaker_01
I hope you're not one of those people who are afraid to watch yourself because I want you to be proud of yourself. I really do.
01:08:57 Speaker_06
I was definitely watching myself, but it's the same thing with, like, my view on football or really anything that I do, even like the TV, the game show that I did on Amazon. I look at myself and I'm like, man, I could have did that better.
01:09:11 Speaker_06
I could have did this better. I could have did this better. And I just always have this mentality of like, wanting to do things better than what I did on camera, what I've done in the past. And I just grow.
01:09:22 Speaker_01
That's how we all you know, we all look at it and say, Oh, I should have made a different choice. So then the next time you get on camera, you're gonna remember that.
01:09:32 Speaker_06
Yeah, 100%.
01:09:33 Speaker_04
Yeah, that was a question I wanted to ask you when we watch ourselves on tape. I feel like every great football player kind of hates the way they play football. They're always trying to get better.
01:09:43 Speaker_04
Is it similar when like actresses or actors are like watching themselves on tape? Are they like, Oh, I wish I would have done that. Yeah, it's similar.
01:09:52 Speaker_01
Some people do not watch themselves.
01:09:55 Speaker_04
Really?
01:09:55 Speaker_01
Absolutely. At our place where they're like, I can't. I don't want to watch it. I walk away from it when it's done and I don't think about it. Not me.
01:10:04 Speaker_01
If I could watch every take back in the moment, I would, because I like to course correct and self adjust in the moment. So what I do is I try to give different, slightly different reads every time so that they have something to work with in the edit.
01:10:22 Speaker_06
Right. You're so good at that. I remember the first scene we had, I was just sticking to the script. I was on, I was like word for word, trying to just stick to the script. I wasn't trying to waste anybody's time.
01:10:33 Speaker_06
And you, you light, you lighten the mood. You made it so comfortable as a professional. And I did see that you were, you were looking at the takes and like, you could see like you were processing how you were doing things.
01:10:44 Speaker_06
And it was so cool to see your professionalism and everything on set. Well, before we get to any more questions, we got to get the intro. Yeah, I know why we were having such a good conversation.
01:10:52 Speaker_01
We gotta get the intro.
01:10:55 Speaker_04
I'm gonna knock it out. It's we're gonna go right back to what we were doing. But I'm gonna do this intro real quick. Just a hype hype this up a little bit. All right. from Cal State University. She's a daytime and primetime Emmy award-winning actress.
01:11:09 Speaker_04
You know her from her work in Reno 911, Gettin' It On, Claws, Dahmer, and of course, alongside Travis in Grotesque at Eat. She is also our first non-relative female guest. Yes, that's right. Please welcome the wonderful Miss Niecy Nash.
01:11:27 Speaker_04
Miss Niecy Nash, baby.
01:11:31 Speaker_01
I love that and I love that I'm the first woman who's a non-relative.
01:11:38 Speaker_06
You had to get a real one. We were waiting for a real one to come available. We appreciate you jumping on with this. You already know we had so much fun shooting uh Grotesquerie and it was definitely it was something that
01:11:50 Speaker_06
I was so blown away by in terms of, we kind of mentioned it already, but your professionalism and just how you made set fun. Doing the TikToks, making everybody feel like they were a part of the team. You made it a team atmosphere.
01:12:03 Speaker_06
And that's where I really started to feel comfortable in doing everything. And I can't thank you enough for everything you've shown me and making everything so much fun.
01:12:12 Speaker_01
Well, you know, the thing of it, the thing of it is, is that the show is so dark. So I wanted to make sure that in the in-betweens, like we sitting around looking at dead bodies all day, and blood is on the ground. And you know what I mean?
01:12:28 Speaker_01
We in the hospital set all day. I wanted to make sure that I kept the crew up, you know, so that we could still have fun at work. You know, a lot of people go to work and do not have fun.
01:12:40 Speaker_01
And I'm like, no, I want everybody to feel like we're having a good time, you know?
01:12:45 Speaker_06
Oh yeah. Well, you definitely did that. That's for sure.
01:12:48 Speaker_04
Well, speaking of, uh, everybody on set, everyone wants to know what it was like working next to, uh, the diva that is Travis Kelsey. How much did you have to hold his hand? He did fantastic. He really looks great.
01:13:02 Speaker_04
But I know that just like in football, it's only as good as the people around you and the supporting cast and the other people that you're on set with. So yeah. What was it like working with the Trav man on a acting set?
01:13:12 Speaker_01
I'm going to say this. I've kept this behind your back.
01:13:15 Speaker_04
I love where you're prefacing this already.
01:13:17 Speaker_01
So I'm going to say it to your face. I have. Listen, you are probably the nicest and the greediest person I've ever met in my life.
01:13:31 Speaker_03
Wow.
01:13:31 Speaker_01
You are so greedy. And you bougie greedy. Oh my goodness. Have you ever met anybody that was bougie greedy? Ladies and gentlemen, right here. This man right here. I met a lot of nice things. Okay, so here's the thing.
01:13:51 Speaker_01
It's one thing to be like, oh, hey, and I've seen you do this. Have somebody run out and give me a couple of burgers and, you know, okay. But then somebody, I'm like, what's that you eating now? My chef. I'm like, what?
01:14:10 Speaker_01
Every time, any time he was not filming, he was eating. I told Travis, I said, hey, we got this scene. They're going to put food out. You know, maybe you don't want to eat a lot because whatever you do in the first take, you got to keep it up all day.
01:14:25 Speaker_01
He's like, them meatballs look good. I'm like, what? But maybe. And now you 15 and 20 meatballs in, I'm like, now how you feel?
01:14:38 Speaker_05
Like I need some more caffeine. You are too funny for that.
01:14:43 Speaker_06
I was just trying to make sure I was, you know, eating dietary. You know, I had my diet. I had my nutrition stuff that I had to do in the off season. I'm making up a whole bunch of shit.
01:14:51 Speaker_05
I just wanted to go ahead. I was just hungry. Yeah, you already know, Chef Kool in the house, baby.
01:14:56 Speaker_06
Hooking it up out there in California, man. That is too funny. That's so funny you picked up on that.
01:15:02 Speaker_01
No, but he was a pleasure. It was a pleasure to have on set. And I love that he didn't take himself too seriously. I even had our crew give him different things that he could do for when you do a field time. What is it when you make the point?
01:15:19 Speaker_06
Oh, yeah, the touchdown. Oh, yeah.
01:15:20 Speaker_01
The touchdown.
01:15:21 Speaker_06
Yeah, the tick tock.
01:15:22 Speaker_01
I'm going field time now. Field time. I don't know sports that much, but I had people give him different ideas for dances he could do.
01:15:34 Speaker_06
Oh yeah, I still gotta hit a few of those. I haven't been in the end zone enough this year to hit them, but. He got in this week.
01:15:39 Speaker_01
You know your favorite one was the Lil' Kim.
01:15:41 Speaker_06
The Lil' Kim, hey, hey, hey. He killed that one, I still gotta hit it. You already know, it's coming up. Next touchdown I get, I'm hitting that one.
01:15:52 Speaker_04
is there like uh is there like a etiquette when you're on set with somebody that like actors and actresses know did you have to really help him acclimate to like this world does that make sense
01:16:05 Speaker_01
Yes, I do. Um, and one thing that I would say is like, sometimes when you don't know everybody or you're new to a set, you kind of are unto yourself. He got the, you know, the folk he come with and it's like, no, come over here. Talk to, come on.
01:16:21 Speaker_01
The water's fine, but we're going to run the words. And you know what I wanted to also try to help you do, Trav, was to trust your gift. Like you're naturally charming. You got a little swag about yourself.
01:16:38 Speaker_01
Use all of those things and don't be married to the words.
01:16:41 Speaker_06
Yeah.
01:16:42 Speaker_01
Because we had the luxury of this, of kind of moving the words around a little bit.
01:16:46 Speaker_03
A little bit.
01:16:47 Speaker_01
So how they may feel better in your mouth, you can kind of switch them up a little bit. And I love that, you know, he just leaned right in. He was like, okay, got it. Let me try this.
01:16:59 Speaker_01
Let me try that, you know, and well, you definitely made me feel great.
01:17:03 Speaker_06
Yeah. I appreciate that.
01:17:05 Speaker_01
Thank you.
01:17:06 Speaker_06
And the show really is so much fun. It really is so cool to like watch. It could be a part of something like that and see it kind of like just the, the final edits and it finally hit the TV. It is so cool to be a part of it. And I can't thank you.
01:17:18 Speaker_06
And obviously Ryan and, uh, Courtney B and everybody involved, that shit was so much fun.
01:17:23 Speaker_01
Do you know when we had the, um, when we had the premier, So Mama Kelsey came. She was cute. She was cute as a butt. Had a little outfit on. I'm like, okay, girl. And so I was able to talk to her at the after party.
01:17:42 Speaker_01
And when I tell you, she could not have been prouder of you. You know what I mean? And I'm a mom of three. And you know, sometimes you clap for your kids cause you have to, you like, oh, okay baby, look at her. And then sometimes you like, no.
01:17:59 Speaker_01
The whole, what I like was watching your mama watch the audience. Because when people were going up in the theater, she was looking around like, that's my baby.
01:18:11 Speaker_06
Hey. It was nice.
01:18:13 Speaker_01
It was nice.
01:18:14 Speaker_06
Making Mama Kel's proud is always one of my favorite things to do. I appreciate you sharing that.
01:18:19 Speaker_01
Yeah.
01:18:20 Speaker_04
If some of this was your guys' freedom of expression, was it Travis' choice to have the mullet with Ed Lachlan? What was that look about? We had to switch it up, man.
01:18:32 Speaker_04
You're Rico Suave one second, and then you look like you crawled out of a swamp in the next set.
01:18:37 Speaker_01
I loved it so much. Because all of the characters had a duality that we play because right of it is in Lois's coma state, how she saw people. And then you got the real life, where she wakes up.
01:18:53 Speaker_04
Yeah, but we still don't even know. There might be another state. Nisi, I don't know what's happening in this show right now. I am so confused. I cannot wait for the finale.
01:19:03 Speaker_05
That's so good.
01:19:04 Speaker_04
Let me help you. Give you a little bit. Can I give you my theory? Go, do it.
01:19:09 Speaker_05
Let's hear this.
01:19:11 Speaker_04
My theory, and this was my first thought was, this gives me this, it feels like we're in like a mental hospital. That was my first thought when I saw the show. Then I'm like, okay, now Lois is in the coma.
01:19:25 Speaker_04
Maybe, and then that got revealed, and that came out of nowhere. I didn't know you would be in a coma too. There was a lot of signs, though. Reddit was all over the place saying she's in a coma. Where are you guys picking up on this? I did, I did.
01:19:35 Speaker_04
But the first one, though, I was like, this feels like, for some reason, it felt like it was in a mental hospital. Now I'm back into that. I feel like Lois and some of these characters are in some type of institution.
01:19:47 Speaker_04
I don't really know what's happening, but that's kind of my theory. So it's not fully put together.
01:19:53 Speaker_01
Oh my God, Jason. Can I tell you right now? You are so wrong.
01:19:58 Speaker_04
Travis has been telling me I'm way off the whole time.
01:20:04 Speaker_06
I've been trying to tell this guy. He doesn't have a fucking clue. He's just so stubborn in his ways. He's just like, I know, I know.
01:20:11 Speaker_04
I was like, maybe, maybe, maybe Lois and Merritt are the same person. And I'm like, try it. I don't know.
01:20:18 Speaker_01
Oh, you're reaching. Oh, you're reaching. All right. All right.
01:20:23 Speaker_04
He's in his own head. Yeah.
01:20:25 Speaker_01
Pump the brakes, bro.
01:20:26 Speaker_04
All right. I will pump the brakes. Okay. You said you could help me. Help me out. Help me out.
01:20:30 Speaker_01
Okay. So the beginning of the series, Lois is in a coma. And this is everything that's happening in her mind. By the time you get to episode seven, Yes, that's the reveal, right? She was really in a coma, all of those other episodes. Now she's awake.
01:20:49 Speaker_01
And this is her waking life. The problem in her waking life is that somebody started to recreate the murders that were in her dream, right?
01:21:01 Speaker_04
So you could hear, you could hear the doctor and you could hear people talking when you were in the coma and that was impacting the person who was really
01:21:12 Speaker_01
committing these murders based on her dreams.
01:21:16 Speaker_04
I know, I don't.
01:21:17 Speaker_01
I know you don't know. I just heard your theory.
01:21:19 Speaker_04
I know you don't know. I'm way off.
01:21:25 Speaker_05
It's such a fun story to be a part of, though.
01:21:28 Speaker_06
I'm assuming Ryan came to you with this.
01:21:30 Speaker_01
Yeah.
01:21:31 Speaker_06
Let's just talk about that for a little bit. You've been in a few other Ryan Murphy projects, correct?
01:21:37 Speaker_01
Yes. I did Scream Queens. I did Monster the Jeffrey Dahmer Story. And one other thing that we did a pilot for that never got picked up, and I was in his very first series called Popular as a guest star. Yeah, so we've worked together a couple times.
01:21:54 Speaker_06
Nice. You guys have such a fun relationship. How, how, how has that been like growing, uh, especially winning all these Emmys together and, and just taking over the, uh, the TV world?
01:22:04 Speaker_01
You know, it's so important to me for people that I care about. I consider I have a friendship. I love that. I do good work for them.
01:22:15 Speaker_01
I never want to phone it in and rest on the relationship I have with somebody to be like, Oh, you know, I could just do whatever. So it's so important for me. to get it right, especially for people that I love.
01:22:27 Speaker_01
And then the awards are just the icing on the cake.
01:22:30 Speaker_06
That's awesome. Well, it's fun as hell working with Ryan and it sounds like you got another one. Are we allowed to say you got another one in the works?
01:22:42 Speaker_01
I'm doing Ryan's new series. It's called all's fair. It's about a female, all female law firm, um, led by Kim Kardashian. Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Tiana Taylor, and me. Oh, wow.
01:22:59 Speaker_04
That's a lot of cast.
01:23:01 Speaker_03
Wow.
01:23:02 Speaker_04
Awesome. We talked about a little bit earlier that you watch yourself on film. Do you have a favorite role that like you like in your head? That's your favorite role you've ever done?
01:23:14 Speaker_05
That's a great question.
01:23:15 Speaker_01
See, that's tricky because, because for a long time, because I started in comedy, I never got the opportunity to play any drama because people thought, Oh, we know you, you, you're the funny girl, you know, and I didn't get a chance.
01:23:30 Speaker_01
So I have things that I did in my funny life that I love because I was in that world longer than this one. But, Oh, that's so hard to pick one. But I would say, I did a series on HBO called Getting On. I did three seasons of it.
01:23:49 Speaker_01
It was an industry darling, but it didn't catch on to the masses. But when the industry saw me do that, they started to trust me with drama.
01:23:58 Speaker_01
So that was the role that changed my life because it allowed me to show people that I'm not just a one trick pony. I got a lot of tricks up in here.
01:24:07 Speaker_06
Hey, multiple tricks. It's actually very cool. You were talking about how you started off in comedy. That really wasn't like the lane that you like wanted to choose. We were kind of talking about this on set one day.
01:24:19 Speaker_01
No, I never wanted to be funny. Let me tell you, Jason, I told you, I said, I never wanted to be funny because I didn't think it was anything. All I did, all funny got me was being in trouble. I got suspended at school. I got pinched at church.
01:24:43 Speaker_01
They put talks too much on my report card. So my mama said, well, what was you talking about? I was telling jokes. She said, go get the belt. I got a job. So I didn't think funny was anything. I didn't, as if people gonna give me money for acting silly.
01:25:02 Speaker_01
And my mother used to tell me that all the time, girl, you so silly. So I didn't think. I just didn't think it was anything.
01:25:10 Speaker_04
It sounds like you were born to be an actress and a comedian. That's what it sounds like.
01:25:13 Speaker_01
I guess so. Then I booked Reno 911 and everything changed. I was like, y'all gonna give me money for acting foolish? This is crazy town.
01:25:24 Speaker_04
So is, let me ask you this, is comedy easier than drama? What comes more natural or which one do you have to do more preparation for?
01:25:33 Speaker_01
Okay. For me, comedy Can you use the word easier, but I guess I would, if I had to choose, I would say that because I was born funny, just more naturally. The other, the other side, I really have to work to make sure.
01:25:52 Speaker_01
the performance is grounded, I get it right, you know, all of the things.
01:25:56 Speaker_01
And let me tell you, speaking of mamas, my mama was the one that told me, she said, now, you know, when you do your comedies, now you real funny, but that other stuff, you need to work on that.
01:26:08 Speaker_01
She told me, she said, I was telling you, my mother said, you find the best class in town and I'm gonna work overtime to pay for your classes. And that's how we got here because the other is probably harder for me.
01:26:26 Speaker_05
Yeah. Yeah. Do you such a cool story though.
01:26:28 Speaker_04
That was one of the things that's really unique about this role in particular with Lois is that, like you said, there's multiple states of her mind frame and you're just killing it. Yeah. Do you map all that out?
01:26:41 Speaker_04
Like, okay, now I'm in this mindset as Lois where this is happening. So I'm going to respond body language and like kind of mentality this way towards this actor.
01:26:54 Speaker_01
The thing of it is Jason is that for me, the hardest thing about her is where Is she in the addiction?
01:27:04 Speaker_04
Yes. Okay.
01:27:05 Speaker_01
She suffers from alcoholism. So is she hammered? Is she hungover? Is she tipsy? How many drinks in? Does she need a drink really bad right now? And she's trying to, what am I playing in each
01:27:23 Speaker_01
moment of her addiction, because that's the hardest part, you know, for me, where is she at this point in this moment to moment in the story with the addiction?
01:27:36 Speaker_04
Absolutely.
01:27:37 Speaker_04
and you and you nail it and and each one you can tell you are like yeah yeah uh the scene between you trav and merit where you're confronting each other in the booth that scene is like when i tell you you have no idea i was like excuse me what just came out of that
01:27:57 Speaker_06
That was like, you know how, you know how we always talk about welcome to your NFL moment. That was my welcome to acting moment. Seeing Nisi absolutely kill it in that scene and being a part of that scene.
01:28:09 Speaker_06
That was one of, that was definitely my favorite one to be a part of for sure. It was so, it was so cool to see her.
01:28:15 Speaker_07
hit the, smack the glass and walk out of there.
01:28:18 Speaker_01
You know what was funny about that night trap was that I was doing all this. You were like, get up. You're going to rehab. And I'm like, you don't tell me what to do. All that intensity. And then they would go cut. And we would be like.
01:28:36 Speaker_01
In the middle of the thing, because remember, I did that video. I was like, look at these culprits right here. These are the ones who keep coming under. We're doing all of this fun stuff, and then they'll be like, and we're back in action.
01:28:48 Speaker_01
And then I'm like, ah. So it was, once you find it, but once you find it, I can drop back in it. After I've mapped it out and know what I'm doing, then I could play. which are, you know, behind the scenes, you know what I mean?
01:29:06 Speaker_01
And mapping out that addiction was the hardest part.
01:29:09 Speaker_05
That's so cool.
01:29:09 Speaker_04
Well, we got the season finale coming up tonight when this airs. I'm looking forward to it. Apparently my theories have been way off, so I can't wait to see what actually is the case. Oh, you have no Travis was a killer.
01:29:22 Speaker_04
At first I thought for sure it was you. There's the one scene where you're in it and they don't even they you're walking in the background. I'm like, what's this dude doing? He's lurking. I know that. I know that figure.
01:29:33 Speaker_06
You've seen those shadows before Jason.
01:29:36 Speaker_01
Let me tell you about people who text me about Travis. They all started off saying, you know, we're watching the thing. Is he the killer? Yeah. Just to get you on the line texting them.
01:29:49 Speaker_01
And then they're like, well, what do you know about his relationship?
01:29:53 Speaker_04
Exactly. You know how it goes.
01:29:55 Speaker_01
I'm like, man, get off that man's business. I'm a vault, I don't say nothing.
01:30:02 Speaker_03
You ain't get nothing out of me.
01:30:04 Speaker_01
I mean y'all just being nosy, don't ask me nothing.
01:30:11 Speaker_04
Oh my goodness, that's great.
01:30:12 Speaker_06
I appreciate you always. And every time someone that has a mic in front of you always asks you something like that, thank you for always showing love.
01:30:19 Speaker_06
You know it's real and you know that me and Tay are absolutely happy and I appreciate you always making sure that everybody knows that. So thank you.
01:30:27 Speaker_01
I'm minding my black business, you understand me? I'm still here worrying about myself and what I got going.
01:30:33 Speaker_05
Oh my goodness. No, you're the best.
01:30:34 Speaker_04
All right, well, make sure everyone checks out Grotesquerie on FX tonight, the season finale. We're going to keep moving this on to, was it your first Chiefs game? I've heard like multiple stories now.
01:30:45 Speaker_04
Was, when you were with Mama Kels, was that your first Chiefs game you'd ever been to?
01:30:51 Speaker_01
very first, but wait, no, let me take that lie back because I saw y'all play against each other.
01:30:58 Speaker_04
You were at the Superbowl?
01:30:59 Speaker_01
Or where? I was at that game, at the Superbowl. I saw you guys play against each other. Matter of fact, I had to hook up that team. So I walked out on the field. I walked out on the field.
01:31:12 Speaker_01
And my sister told me, she said, I don't care what you do, you put on an all green outfit and you represent me. And so. So you were Eagles? I had on my green sweatsuit. I have my green sweatsuit on me, JB, my son, we all showed up. Yeah.
01:31:37 Speaker_01
And yeah, so I got to see you both play together in that game. And then I like to not think about that game. Baby, I've done some roles, and I'm like, God, I wish it would go away. But then we all came to see Travis. And let me tell you something.
01:31:59 Speaker_01
Travis, so we go to the game, right, out here in LA. And he was just trying to act like he was so professional as a football player.
01:32:07 Speaker_01
He's like, you know, I don't know if, you know, I'm a, you know, if I'm, we going to take pictures and stuff because I'm so focused. I'm like, okay. Then he came out there with that stupid mustache.
01:32:19 Speaker_01
He came out there with that stupid mustache, trying to, you know, he was all on the field and all his boys was like, yo, there go your girl right there, there go your girl right there. He gonna look over and he was like, I respect your process.
01:32:41 Speaker_01
I'm just giving you a heart. Oh, I love it.
01:32:43 Speaker_05
I love it too. It's so good.
01:32:44 Speaker_01
I totally respect your process. You know what I mean? I appreciate it. You got to stay in the zone and you got to do what the people who ping you want you to do. So I'm not tripping about that. I was more offended at the Mustang.
01:33:01 Speaker_05
It's gone now. It's gone now.
01:33:05 Speaker_06
Exactly. Exactly. I was, uh, I was, you never know. I might've just been, you know, having that look for another role or something, you know, Hollywood over here.
01:33:17 Speaker_04
All right. So when you, uh, when you were at the game with mom, what was it like?
01:33:20 Speaker_06
Yeah, you saw Mama Kelce at the game too.
01:33:22 Speaker_01
Do you like watching football games? I do. It was so much fun. She was lovely. She had her homegirl with her. And we all took pictures together. And then you know, you run with a great group of guys.
01:33:35 Speaker_06
You know, I appreciate that.
01:33:37 Speaker_01
And they all came and checked on us. You good. You need this. You need that. Then we went over to your podcast. had a suite. Oh, nice. We got our podcast swag from over there. They treated you right? Oh, yeah. Everybody treated us.
01:33:53 Speaker_01
So that was, that was mama Kelsey. She said, we're going over to the, come on.
01:33:57 Speaker_07
So we went over there with her.
01:34:03 Speaker_01
Yes. And got us some swag and all the good things. So everybody really took such good care of us. We had great seats. Thank you. Oh, always, you know, you know, it was a really good time. I mean, I would do it again for sure.
01:34:20 Speaker_04
Are you a Rams fan being from LA or a Raiders or who's your team?
01:34:25 Speaker_01
I like all the LA teams.
01:34:27 Speaker_04
Chargers Rams.
01:34:28 Speaker_01
I don't break them up.
01:34:29 Speaker_04
You know what I mean?
01:34:30 Speaker_01
Sure. I love the like,
01:34:37 Speaker_01
when you in the game, when you're, when you actually go to a game better than on TV, because everybody is so dressed up and all they regalia and people are cheering and people blowing and all of the, the crowd energy, the pageantry. I like that part.
01:34:57 Speaker_04
You got a game.
01:35:00 Speaker_01
in Vegas coming up.
01:35:02 Speaker_06
We just had it last week and we ended up beating the Raiders out there in Vegas. Got some redemption.
01:35:07 Speaker_01
Oh, you had that game already. I thought Thanksgiving was like a- It was literally just last week. I thought it was around Thanksgiving. I was gonna pull up.
01:35:14 Speaker_06
I'm trying to, you know what? We might play, we play the Raiders in KC.
01:35:18 Speaker_04
Yeah, on Friday, right?
01:35:19 Speaker_06
Yeah, so it's the Friday after Thanksgiving. That one's in Kansas City though. You're more than welcome. You can come on out to KC. Roll on out. You wanna hear some electric crowd. Now Kansas City has it for you.
01:35:31 Speaker_01
I want you to roll the red carpet out if I come to Kansas City. Come on now, there we go.
01:35:35 Speaker_06
Listen, you already know I'm rolling the red carpet out for you. Every time, every time, everybody you're with, you know I got you.
01:35:41 Speaker_04
Is there anything with the game, do you have any questions about football? I know we just had like a touchdown. Are there any phrases or anything you wanna ask us about the sport of football that we can help you with?
01:35:52 Speaker_01
Oh, you know what, I'm glad you asked that because I called What did I, the thing I got wrong, I said field time, but what is it?
01:36:01 Speaker_04
Field time. Touchdown. Touchdown.
01:36:03 Speaker_01
Touchdown. Okay. So, I don't really understand false start. Does that mean that they moved before the win? I don't know what that means. They're going to false start?
01:36:14 Speaker_04
You're going to have to... So basically, Nisi, if you become set as an offensive player and you think the ball is getting snapped and you move or flinch, that is a false start.
01:36:27 Speaker_01
Oh, you can't even flinch.
01:36:29 Speaker_06
So you're not allowed to move forward before the ball is snapped on offense. And the same thing on defense, you can't cross that line of scrimmage until the ball is snapped. That's called off offsides on defense or encroachment.
01:36:42 Speaker_06
Like a false start is only on the offense. And it's when the offense moves forward or like gives like a, an action as if the play starting before the ball is snapped.
01:36:52 Speaker_01
And they don't deduct points for that.
01:36:53 Speaker_06
No, you just move back five yards.
01:36:55 Speaker_01
Oh, that's mean. There's no, there's no. Yeah. Why do they say they penalize you if you make a touchdown and you celebrate? Like, why do they? I gave you a whole group of dances to do. Why won't they let you celebrate if you get a touchdown?
01:37:17 Speaker_04
You're speaking on behalf of, I think, every fan on the planet.
01:37:21 Speaker_06
I think everybody wants to see more dancing.
01:37:23 Speaker_04
You can dance.
01:37:26 Speaker_06
You just can't twerk.
01:37:27 Speaker_04
They're restrictive in some dances and can't do sexual dances. Yeah. You can't only two pumps or three pumps, only two pumps, three pumps. You can't simulate, you can't simulate any type of weaponry.
01:37:42 Speaker_04
So any type of gun or anything that will get you a taunting foul. Oh, you can't do that.
01:37:50 Speaker_01
But if you do it, does that mean that they push your team back again? Or what do they do?
01:37:56 Speaker_04
Yeah, you would get a 15 yard either unsportsmanlike or taunting penalty.
01:38:01 Speaker_06
And then you get a FedEx.
01:38:02 Speaker_04
And then you would get fined, potentially.
01:38:04 Speaker_06
You get a FedEx delivery at your locker that tells you you just got fined for not representing the NFL in the proper way. Yeah.
01:38:13 Speaker_01
Have you ever got a FedEx?
01:38:14 Speaker_04
Oh my, are you kidding me? You know it. Travis is basically a FedEx, he's basically a part-time FedEx delivery man at this point.
01:38:22 Speaker_06
Yeah, I like to play the game for the love of the game.
01:38:24 Speaker_01
I'm going to do it and I'm going to pay my fine.
01:38:26 Speaker_06
So every now and then, every now and then I've, I've, I've become more regarded and haven't really done it as much. But, uh, my earlier years, I was not afraid to get fined.
01:38:35 Speaker_01
He was a wild boy. Oh my goodness.
01:38:37 Speaker_06
Oh yes. I've gotten, I've gotten ejected from a game because I did something silly like that. But that's a story for another day through a flag and an official.
01:38:47 Speaker_04
All right, we're gonna ask you some questions. Now again, Nisi, in our this next segment, we have it's called we got to ask you don't have to answer. All right.
01:38:56 Speaker_06
And it's exactly what it sounds like. We're just going to ask you some rapid fire questions. And you decide if you want to answer now. Jason, go ahead, jump it off.
01:39:05 Speaker_04
We mentioned it earlier, but can I just ask about Reno 911? That was one of Travis and I's favorite shows growing up. Oh, yeah. You were fantastic. How fun was it working on that show?
01:39:15 Speaker_04
Because it looked like the cast just loved each other and everything that happened in that show.
01:39:19 Speaker_01
It was a lot of fun, great fun. The worst thing about it and the best thing about it was the booty that I wore in it. It was, they took a mold of my real butt, magnified it three times.
01:39:31 Speaker_01
And in the winter when we shot, it was great because I was never cold outside.
01:39:37 Speaker_07
I was always warm.
01:39:39 Speaker_01
But in the summertime, I felt like I was about to die.
01:39:42 Speaker_04
Yeah, yeah.
01:39:43 Speaker_01
That's bad. Yeah.
01:39:45 Speaker_04
I can see how that would not be good.
01:39:47 Speaker_01
Yes. Okay, go. What's the next one?
01:39:49 Speaker_04
So you had the BBL in the Reno Nights?
01:39:51 Speaker_01
I did.
01:39:51 Speaker_04
Before it was even popular.
01:39:53 Speaker_03
Before it was even...
01:40:00 Speaker_06
best and worst audition.
01:40:02 Speaker_01
My best and my worst are the same audition.
01:40:05 Speaker_04
Really? How's that possible?
01:40:06 Speaker_01
It was my very first audition. And I walked in and I didn't know that you read and they'll tell you later. So I said, I read the material and the guy said, thank you. I said, you're welcome.
01:40:22 Speaker_03
He said, thank you.
01:40:24 Speaker_01
And I said, don't mention it. He was like, thank you, you may go. I said, oh, y'all are telling me to leave. Well, did y'all pick me? He was like, someone will let you know, dear. I said, let me know when. I'm broke. I got a baby. I need a job.
01:40:43 Speaker_05
I don't know.
01:40:44 Speaker_01
Let me know when.
01:40:45 Speaker_05
You can't just keep me on ice like this. Yeah.
01:40:47 Speaker_01
So I cut up. I pointed my finger in their face and told them how mad I was. And then they still ended up calling me and giving me the job. It was my very first movie. And I was in it with Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore. It was called Boys on the Side.
01:41:04 Speaker_01
And I played a woman in the diner. There we go.
01:41:07 Speaker_04
A woman in the diner.

That's awesome. That's awesome.
01:41:57 Speaker_04
Do you have a favorite co-star? Speaking of family, do you have a favorite co-star? Obviously can't say Travis. Travis is excluded. Not that he was going to be the answer. Ever.
01:42:05 Speaker_05
Yeah.
01:42:07 Speaker_01
My favorite person that I ever worked with on camera is the one I lay next to every night.

I love that.
01:42:25 Speaker_01
You know, I'm a lover Travis.
01:42:28 Speaker_06
Very much so because you like the team. You like to feel a part of it all. Do you have a welcome to Hollywood moment?
01:42:36 Speaker_01
My welcome to Hollywood.
01:42:38 Speaker_06
Kind of how I was describing like a welcome to the NFL moment. Yeah, go ahead.
01:42:44 Speaker_01
I do. I went to audition for something and I had all of this stuff on the back of my resume.
01:42:51 Speaker_03
Okay.
01:42:52 Speaker_01
I didn't know everything I had on the back of it was trash. Okay. And the guy, he was an assistant at the time said, girlfriend, come here. He said, I'm going to help you with this.
01:43:04 Speaker_01
And he crossed all the, he said, nobody cares that you were the second winner up in a beauty pageant. Let me cross that out. Nobody cares.
01:43:13 Speaker_01
He just all the little things that I and they were little things, but I was trying to make my resume look like something. Yeah, everything out and I said, but I'm about to go in there with my picture and I only have one thing on it and he said.
01:43:26 Speaker_01
but it's the right thing. And we became dear friends. He became a big deal casting director, and now he's the head muckety-muck at the network.
01:43:36 Speaker_01
And it was the moment where somebody reached across the line and was like, come here, baby, because you don't know no better. Let me help you. And I was like, OK. It was the first time that I felt like I had somebody to just look out for me.
01:43:51 Speaker_04
Yeah, I believed in you for whatever reason. Yeah, that's awesome.
01:43:55 Speaker_01
But, oh wait, here's the other one and I'm gonna squeeze this in.
01:43:58 Speaker_07
Yeah, please do.
01:43:59 Speaker_01
I'm a little girl, I'm eight years old. I see this actor on Hollywood Boulevard where all the stars were. And I said, daddy, that man is an actor. He said, baby, that's Ed Asner. He used to be on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
01:44:10 Speaker_01
I said, I walked over to him and I said, sir, I know you an actor and you don't know me, but my name is gonna be right here on this ground. He was like, yeah, it's Graham.
01:44:18 Speaker_03
I ended up getting a star.
01:44:33 Speaker_01
I send him a letter. I don't know if you remember me. You know, this happened between us. And he said, of course I know your name. I'm glad you didn't let me discourage you, but I'm not able to come to your ceremony. I said, okay, well, thank you.
01:44:50 Speaker_01
And the day before his assistant called my team and said, he'll be there. I could not even look at him. I had to just look this way because my fake eyelashes was about to fall off from crying.
01:45:04 Speaker_01
And so Ed Asner, you know, 40 years later, showed up at my star ceremony. And it said to me the power of the spoken word. I spoke that thing. I mean, you know, it took a long time to manifest, but it still manifested.
01:45:21 Speaker_05
Oh yeah, yes it did. Manifested beautifully.
01:45:24 Speaker_04
All right, it's Halloween Eve.
01:45:26 Speaker_06
Yes. Wednesday will be Halloween, yeah.
01:45:29 Speaker_04
Do you have a go-to Halloween movie?
01:45:32 Speaker_01
No, but I go hard with a costume.
01:45:34 Speaker_06
Okay. Ooh, nice. Have you already worn your Halloween costume this year?
01:45:40 Speaker_01
I'm getting ready to take photos for it when I stop talking to you.
01:45:44 Speaker_06
Okay. Nice. What are we doing? Are you allowed to reveal it since it's going to be tomorrow? Or is it a surprise? Or is it a surprise? You want to keep it a surprise? It's cool, you can keep it a surprise. Well, we'll be tuned in. We'll be tuned in.
01:45:56 Speaker_01
Can't wait to see it. We do couples costumes. So we always try to figure out some sort of iconic couple.
01:46:04 Speaker_06
What were you guys last year?
01:46:06 Speaker_01
Last year, I was Jessica Rabbit. My better half was the detective. Love that. The year before that, we were A$AP Rocky and Rihanna at the Met.
01:46:16 Speaker_07
Nice.
01:46:18 Speaker_01
The year before that, we were Kelly and Nelly from the Dilemma video.
01:46:23 Speaker_04
Ooh, okay.
01:46:24 Speaker_01
Classic. Yeah, but we figure out some. Yeah, classics.
01:46:27 Speaker_06
I already know. We had some teammates, Chris Jones, on the show earlier. I'm 95 for the defense on the Chiefs, if you're not familiar. He described his first impression of me as Malibu's most wanted.
01:46:42 Speaker_07
You were actually in that movie. Do you agree or disagree?
01:46:49 Speaker_01
I absolutely disagree. You don't think Travis is B-Red? He's not B-Red? I enjoy a good, a good, uh, getting toasted though.
01:47:06 Speaker_05
That's the best.
01:47:07 Speaker_04
Oh yeah. Last question. Do you have any advice for other athletes trying to break into acting?
01:47:12 Speaker_01
You know, I would say if you're serious about it, take class because you want to be prepared. You want to know the lingo, you know, if they tell you camera left, what does that mean to you?
01:47:25 Speaker_01
You want, if they say, hit your mark, if they say any of the language of a set, you just want to be familiar. Cause you don't, you know, you're not going to be as comfortable if you feel like a fish out of water. So I would say prepare.
01:47:40 Speaker_05
Yeah.
01:47:41 Speaker_01
and get you a Niecy.
01:47:42 Speaker_06
I was literally just about to say that. I was like, yeah, make sure you work with somebody as good as Niecy, because it makes it a whole lot easier on you. Niecy Nash Betts, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much.

01:49:31 Speaker_04
Can't wait to hear your take on this week. Man. I mean, dude, it's almost. Every single week, I just think they're going to figure it out. They got a good opportunity. They're playing the Patriots. Their coach just called them the softest team.
01:49:48 Speaker_04
He just called them soft the week before. They go out, they've traded for Adams. They've made all these picks. All this stuff has happened. And then, uh, it turns out the Patriots got hard somehow and found a way to beat the Jets.
01:50:01 Speaker_04
What, uh, what do you got to say, Jim? Got a hard shake. They got to find some Viagra sitting around and they.
01:50:10 Speaker_07
This is what they swirled up on the fucking Jesus.
