Chiefs' Streak Ends, Mahomes Injury, Rivers Reactions, Eagles Blowout & Playoff Predictions | EP 170

What other retired player should get back out there? I was thinking about this. Who else would be like... I mean, I know a guy is still trying to prove his athleticism and trying to dunk. Travis, I can't bend my elbow right now. I can't even touch my head right now because I got a loose body stuck in my f***ing elbow joint. Will you go and get that f***ing clean now, Jason? I'm trying to avoid surgery, Travis. Are we not rehabbing? There's not a rehab. There's just a piece of cartilage that's floating around in there and it's stuck in my joint. Oh, well, yeah. Jason, you gotta go and get that f***ing clean now. It's like stuck someone. I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving. I don't know. Anyways, not gonna be me. Welcome back to New Hives, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of Wondery Show, brought to you by Allstate. You're in good hands with Allstate. Where you're host, I'm Travis Kelsi, my big brother, Jason Kelsey. I had a Cleveland Heights, Ohio University of Cincinnati, alum, shut up to the bare cast. We're in the basketball season now, baby.

Getting in for the calls. Before we get into that, we're gonna get into some new news. New news. This brought to you by Reese's Trees. Oh, we're in the holiday season. The Reese's holiday treats are the best. We've always said it, whether it's pumpkins or trees or sure they got some type of bunny thing going on, that's oh, the eggs. Reese's Trees, better than Reese's pumpkins. Is that the question you're asking Brandon? Looks like it. I mean, honestly, I think it's pretty similar. It's definitely similar to the pumpkin and the fact that they both have more peanut butter to chocolate ratio, which I enjoy. So I think it's probably about the same for me, and honestly. You're on even. I'm going even. Well, we got a lot of new heights coming your way for the holidays. This Friday, we're gonna be dropping our film cover view of Home Alone with an incredible special guest. It's right. The one and only kind of Kelsey. The ho-ho. Not gonna lie, it's only is in for the Home Alone guest episode. And next Monday, we got a great guest episode coming out. First guest we've ever had on the podcast. Well, he's back. Paul Red, everyone. Paul Red is back. How about it, man? Kai and then Paul? God damn. Keeping it in the family, baby. And next Wednesday, we'll release the new Hight's holiday spectacular. We'll have the first ever new height secret Santa. Unbox some stuff sent to us from the 92% and we got a full episode with Kylie Kelsey. How about that? You're not gonna want to miss it. So, let's see while you're getting ready for the holidays, new heights is right there with you. How about that? She's also gonna be giving us some official shopping guys for dudes who can't shop good. Oh, that was classic. I actually might need to rewatch that. Jason, you are a great shopper. Never been. Never been. Please enjoy the holidays with your family and also a lot of new heights. That wraps up new news brought to you by Reese's Trees. Since it's the holiday season, I'm gonna say the Reese's Trees are a little bit better than the pumpkins. All right. Now, let's get to some bold topics to wrap up week 15 in the NFL and unfortunately wrap up our playoff hopes. Chiefs 13, Chargers 16. What are your thoughts following the game? Well, first things first, obviously, we lost our, we lost our quarterback, man. Paddy Mahomes, our guy, our brother, our fearless leader, our face of the franchise. And to an ACL and it's just, it's never easy seeing your guys go down. We had a bunch of guys get hurt this past game and we fought, man. We fought. We had we had some guys fight through some stuff. We had some guys unfortunately not make it back out on the field. For the season to be going like it did up to that point and we're on our last quest to try and keep our playoff hopes alive there in the fourth quarter. On a freakish play to see one five go down like that, man. If fucking, it was almost like it was, it wasn't real. And it shit just sucks, man. For a guy that puts in that much and puts his body on the line, we can week out and you know, makes this football world. He makes the best of it, man, by how hard he works. And it just, it sucks, man. And then obviously we had some momentum going there with our guy, Garda, Minchew, man, and tried to find a way there at the end. And it's just things just didn't go our way up to that point. And yeah, and that's the, that's the game for you right there. It's just things just, you know, when you need them, the most just weren't fallen for us. And you got to go back to the drawing board, man. And, and we got three games left. I know we're still talking about this game, but the integrity of who you are as a professional, as a player, you got to love this shit, man. And, and Chiefs Cain and we're going to give you everything we got. And there's, there's no question about that. There's only one way I do things. There's only one way coach read does things. And if we're going to go out there and play some football, we're going to do it the right way. And keep trying to get these things fixed and then don't the highest note that we can. Well, for the first time since 2014, the Chiefs are eliminated from the postseason, which is in outrageous stat. Over a decade of postseason play for the Kansas City Chiefs, I was thinking about this the other day. What was crazy being at the game? I don't think I've ever been in that stadium with you guys out of the picture in the regular season. No, you haven't. Definitely not 2013. 14 was the only my first year playing. That was only one but I don't. And there was only one game where we needed some things to happen. Yeah. And then we played the last game with our guy, Chase Daniels. Shut up. Yeah. So it's just wild. I mean, it was wild being there. And you know, I feel like it. And it's a crazy completely different year. That year we didn't have any wide receiver score touchdown. Right. It's crazy as that. This year were, you know, numbers wise, we're up there with some of the top offenses and depending on what category you're looking at. But just critical moments, man. All the games we've lost were one score games, man. We were in it right there to the end. Yeah, one in seven in one score games. Even that game up until the very last pick, I feel like you guys are going to, in my head, I'm like, oh, they're going to find a way to get it done. And it just, it felt like that, man. You guys have just done it so much. So that's why when one five went down, I was like, no way. This is what happens. Right. Yeah. Guess how do you approach your rest of the season? You talked about a little bit. We're going to go out there and battle together. It's kind of unfamiliar territory at this point for a lot of guys in the building. Yeah. The guys that have been there. And I'm the only one that's been on the team long enough to see us not make the playoffs or to play a game that, you know, you. There's not enough for the season. You're entering the season. Yeah. And, you know, it's obviously fucked up. But it's a new feeling. So all I know is to go out there and play my ass off and, and, and to show up and, you know, give my guys the best chance to win. And, and I think that's, that's the mentality, man. There's an integrity thing here that when you sign up for the gig, you're living out your dreams. You're living out a kid's dream that never got a chance to do this. You're living out, you know, man. Yeah. You're, you're playing this game, obviously, to win Super Bowl. As you're playing this game to, to be in those playoffs scenarios and stuff. But at the end of the day, man, you're playing in the NFL. Yeah. And that's a fucking blessing. That's an honor. It's an honor to be out there. It's an honor to feel the soreness after a game because you're actually out there. You're fucking doing it. Yeah. You're living your dream. And, no matter if you're getting the fucking ball thrown to you, no matter if you're, if you're blocking your tail off and you never, you know, see the pill. It's, it's an honor to be out there in a uniform, playing for the, for the guys around you, playing for your family, playing for the, the people back home that are watching you, that have known you since you were a little kid dreaming about this moment or dreaming about these moments being in the NFL. And I'll tell you what, man, if, if there's a game to be at, baby, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to love fucking playing in it. No matter if it's a game that, uh, in the playoffs or gets us in the playoffs or a game that, you know, seems like it doesn't have any implications of that. So, no doubt. Well said, Jeff. And that's the integrity you got to, you got to fucking go out there with, right? For sure. Yeah, the other thing I always think about whenever I play in games like this or seasons that have gone south, you know, even in the years where everything doesn't work out, you still, have like a team and you're still close with guys. And I always thought similar to what you're saying, traveling. We only got three weeks left of this year's team to play football. Like next year, it's going to look different, right? Guys get back guys. Aren't going to be back. It's, it's no two years of the same. And you, and you try to enjoy those the few weeks that you know you have together. And yeah, obviously the big thing looming is not only you guys out of the playoffs, but, you know, Patrick Mahomes, tears as ACL in December, usually it's an eight to nine month injury recovery. I've been through it myself. It's a rough one. You hate to see it end that way. You know what I mean? It was just a devastating like kind of final moment there. And Gardner went out there and battled his ass off. Oh, you know, you know, you know, Gardner's going to do that baby. Yeah. It's just, that's all it's how he's built, man. And we're going to fuck it fight for him from here on out and then go out there and try and win some ball games with my guy G and obviously it came out that his surgery went well. And I mean, he's he's a warrior, man. I'm telling you, this guy's played through everything, battled through everything, has been crowned champion because he's battled through everything. And he's going to battle through this. It's the only way this guy is, is wired, man. He's a he's a fearless, fearless warrior when it comes to this football thing. He's going to make sure that he comes back stronger than ever. And, um, and, you know, hopefully the chiefs can get him back as soon as possible. I know right now it's kind of right around that week one or the beginning of the season next year. So, um, I know he's going to be doing everything he can to get back out on that field for the chiefs as soon as possible, man. I love it, brother. He has a head of the Tennessee to face the two and 12 Titans. Yeah, man. We got the Titans and the Titans as, as their record may show, they've only won two games, man, they're fucking playing hard. Yeah, brother. They got guys on that defensive line that can, that can wreck a game. Obviously, Jeffrey Simmons has been doing it for a while now, man. I'm a big old mean dude up front. And we're going to, we're going to have to find ways to be able to slow him down and make our guy garner back, get comfortable back there. And from there, it's just mastering the game plan and getting out there and, um, and getting after it, man. We do have this mic-dub video of you in Derwin. We had the game ceiling interception. Let's think about this. We've had so many battles, man. What a great dude, man. Just plays the game the right way, the attitude, the physicality, the toughness. I love it when, you know, you can, you can get after somebody on the football field, they can fucking peek you up and body slam me and there's no bad blood. There's just, there's just a bunch of respect for how they carry themselves and go at it. And obviously Derwin's one of the fucking best ever to do it, man. It was an honor to swap jerseys with them. The honor to share the fucking gridiron with a man. I'm a guy that I fucking loved this game, man. I love it when I get to go, being another guy that I watch on film, and I'm like, that guy fucking plays this game the right way. You know, and, and he got me on a few this past game. It's cool that he came up and said all that, man, I wish him the best of luck the rest of the year, man. The question is, have you sent them to Jersey yet? Yeah, yeah, I shot it over to him. Oh nice. Thank you. I still owe a few guys, jerseys. So you still owe me a jersey, Jason. Do I feel like you have a jersey in mind? I've stole like three jerseys from the house, just laying around. So I might have stole somebody else's, though. You were meant to get out to them. I had like a mad dash of getting jerseys out to other guys late in my corner. Just started note, just starting notes of like reminding yourself. I don't remember the guys now at this point, but you'll remember when you see them. You'll be like, oh, shit, I was supposed to get that guy jersey just right. I just two guys I got no idea. I sent them jerseys, but I never got confirmation they got them. I hope they got them. My bad guys, so I played in India. I haven't gotten there. The jerseys over to them yet. Sauce. Alec Pierce. Yeah, I got Alec Pierce. Tiddy's a stud. I know. Let's keep this thing moving, man. Shout out to the chargers, our guy Jesse Minner, coach Minter. I should say he's got those guys rolling. Obviously, I'd respect the hell out of Harball and what they've been able to keep doing over the air band and wish them the best of luck. Thank you to our sponsor, Allstate. You know what, smart?

Every holiday tradition is better when you add Reese's trees. Holiday movies. Yeah, I mean, those go definitely better with Reese's trees. Ugly sweater parties. I mean, who doesn't like chocolate stains all over their ugly sweater? I do. Skipping the ugly sweater party to watch football in your sweats instead. I mean, that's a no-brainer of course. Yes.

Want to move on to some of the other things that happened this past week? Yeah, let's talk a little Raiders Eagles. It's good. Man, so far, new heights has played the Raiders pretty well. That's right. They haven't scored a single point against either one of our teams. The Eagles 31 Raiders 0. Jason, thoughts on the birds? Um, obviously it's everything you want to do against the Raiders, right? Like you're playing a team that you know has been struggling and they're not very good, but you still got to go out there and perform. And, you know, I thought the Eagles offense did a really good job. I thought that the, the run game is something that we stuck with it, right? Like the first series, I'm always watching like, okay, what is this going to be? What's the plan today? How many runs is it going to be? How much shotgun? How much under center? Like what's the flavor? And in the first series, I think they're like seven runs. There was a quarterback designed run. It was clear that they were going to stick with that and trying to establish a line of scrimmage or something. I think they need to continue to do moving forward. And I just liked seeing it. They pushed the ball down the field. They created explosives. You know, it's everything that you want to see against uh, not just the lost Vegas Raiders, but what does the Eagles team needs to be moving forward? And then defensively, I mean, they held the Raiders to 70 yards on offense. Like it was in all time performance from the defense. This is what this team can be. You know, you even when the run's not hidden early, you got to stick with it. You got to keep attacking line of scrimmage, keep making them defend that and then take your shots when they're there. And and they did that throughout the game. And I thought that that was outstanding. And it's who they should be moving forward. And they got three games left, right? Two of them against the Washington commanders. One of them against Buffalo Bills. They're they've pretty much all but clenched their spot in the playoffs. They just need one more win and it's over. Really one more loss by the Cowboys and it's over. So, you know, they're in the driver's seat. They're probably going to be the three seat. If they win out, there's a chance they can be the two seat. What I would like to see these last three games is continue to pound the rack. Get that run game going. It was going to open up so much more for the offense. And if these guys can go into the playoffs, feeling good, feeling confident, working with each other and executing these plays, I think it's going to help out Jalen a lot more. And with the way this defense is playing, that's this team could be very dangerous in the postseason if they stay true to that formula. So that's what I'm hoping to see. Dude, there's so much fucking firepower over there, man. Right? And a game like this, you see it all clicking, man. It just it shows you what you got, man. And then you just bailed off of it. And it's a it's crazy. What a what one game of putting it together can do, man. They can they can strike it up. There was a crazy stat out there that I don't know the specific stat, which I probably shouldn't be saying it. If I don't know the specific stat, but basically after you, you win a shout out game, the following week, I think it's almost 50% of the teams lose that following week. Oh, don't tell me this Travis. I'm just saying it's the stats that maybe tell the boys, text the boys, hey, you know, like that's so weird. Why is that the case? We're static. It might even be more than that. Really? I think it was a staggering, staggering number of of teams that lose that following week. I think it kind of just it makes you feel at ease. Maybe the game plan isn't as as crazy. Maybe the game plan isn't as you know what I mean? I whatever it is. Whatever it may be, the guys are the team that you're playing is like, holy shit, we got to get our shit together. We're playing this team that just fucking embarrassed another team. Yeah. All right. Good luck. Hopefully we, uh, we start changing that statistic a little bit better. There you go. So yeah, there you go. We helped that. We want to. Nice. Next. There we go. Um, but this is what Grog said about playing the Raiders, which is a very, very hilarious thing. Not very nice. But when you play the Raiders, it's like putting Nio Sporn on your cuts. They heal those wounds. It is true. I mean, the level of, uh, you know, the level that the fans were at these last couple of weeks, and understandably, you know, the Eagles did not been performing well. But then all of a sudden, you play the Raiders who, you know, have won two games this year, I believe. It has a tendency to, you know, make you feel good again. And, um, that's a great way to put it by Grog. I think the Eagles are smart enough to know that, you know, this, it was a great game, but they still got to improve and get better. But so much of playing well in the postseason is feeling good going into it. Yeah. And it's a big part. I think the Eagles got some games here that they can feel good about. Hopefully, you know, they come out and put their best foot forward. They get into the playoffs with some momentum. So let's see. Well, Jalen Hertz 12 for 15 almost a perfect day. Um, 175 yards, three tuddies before being replaced by Tanner McKee. And then Jalen, quote, after the game, he's always got one for us. Everybody needs to remember where it came from and how I'm built. All right. Now, yeah, Bill. Fuck you. Hey, miss around. He's been, I'm sure he's been here and all of the stuff talking about it. And the media, and I mean, listen, it was a great bounce band game for him. Obviously the game before with the turnovers and everything, very uncharacteristic of Jalen Hertz. It's not been who he has been largely in the NFL. But this is what I mean. He's got 15 attempts. Like, and if you were to play the whole game, it would have been more than that. But they, they did a great job of being a very balanced offense. And that's what they need to be. They need to continue. It's the best. Even if it's not working, you got to stick with it. Because otherwise, these guys just don't respect it. They don't respect the line of scrimmage. They're getting into their zone drops easier. They're matching receivers right away. I came away this week and quite honestly, last week, even though it didn't work out, we had the picks. I came away from last week feeling like this offense is showing signs of going in the right direction. And just prove that. And hopefully we got another game this coming week against the commanders. That'll show that a little bit more. There you go. Well, we got a Lebronstead of the game. Our guy at 37 years old and 255 days on top of those 37 years. Brandon Graham became the oldest player in Eagles history to record a sack in a game. Here we go. BG. Grab a gram. Grandpa Graham. Everybody show my old man rivers. We got Grandpa Graham on the Eagles. He's gonna fucking hate that. I said that. Nah, BG don't hate nothing. He's the best. I feel like he had more than one right? Yeah, two sacks. He had a great day. Yeah, he had two sacks. Yeah, doesn't surprise me one bit. He was he was ballin. He was in very vintage form. Who was the oldest before that? Shit, it might have been bad again. I don't know where. Yeah, I mean, it was great. It was Brandon Graham at 36 years old. He was in 255 days. It's always fun when you start breaking your own records for old age. There you go. I don't know if that's true though. Let's see. Well, you guys mentioned you guys played the commanders on Saturday. A little Saturday in December, baby. Those college games start kind of going away and all of a sudden NFL is played on Saturdays now, baby. Let's go. Yeah, baby. If the Eagles win or the Cowboys lose, the Eagles will become the first back-to-back division winners in the NFC East in 20 years. How crazy is that? That is mind blowing. Yeah. That is a competitive division. It's going to come to an end too. I mean, it's absolutely bonkers. It's been 20 years since somebody repeated. Yeah. We're going to go birds. Haha, suck on that Cowboys. What other games got flex this week? How many, usually what, two or three games? I think it's two. Two games get flexed. At least two games get flexed to Saturday. And actually, I don't even know if that's, they might even, they might have even had this scheduled because now they just know when December comes that they're going to start flexing games. I don't think it was scheduled because that's why they were surprised, right? Well, they're not the only game on Saturday. It looks like the Packers are playing the Bears later that evening. You guys do have the day game though. There we go. There's two o'clock game. That's such a weird time. I don't like it Saturday. I know I get it, but I don't like it. It's also time out. It's also, it's also could be West Coast because it's brand new computer. That is West Coast. That's brand new computer. So that's a five o'clock start, which is still a weird time for a football game. I don't know that I like a five o'clock. One, four or eight, those are the time slots. We all know it. It's not fucking with me NFL. It's so ridiculous. So what I'm reading is they flexed you guys out of the prime time Saturday and gave that to Packers Bears. Yeah. They knew you'd see this. Yeah. The Eagles Commanders game would have been a very weird game to flex into a Saturday game. Like, yeah. Yes. Yeah. All right. That's what was going to be figured it out. Live on air. Perfect. All right. Well, yeah. Short week. Well, good luck to the birds, baby. Let's take our talents to the rest of the NFL and talk about some Philip River. Just fucking back, baby. 44 years old, a grandfather. Exactly 1800 days since the last start, you went 18 for 27 for 120 yards. One touchdown, one reception. He gets the Seahawks. Interception was the last play of the game. He's playing great. I think everybody, so there are a lot of questions throughout the week. Everybody, a lot of people are joking about it. A lot of people are like, he shouldn't be happening. And I think he gave him their best chance. I mean, that's the reality of it. They're playing the Seahawks. One of the best defensive NFLs. This has to have to play for five years. And he gave him an opportunity to win the game. They were winning the game when he left the field. So what is it? Riley Leonard? Was he going to give them their best shot? What was Riley going to do against the Seahawks? Well, never know. I mean, I think we do, though. We can only assume a lot of people were assuming that Phil was going to go out there and get some out of half. Yeah. I mean, listen, I'm not going to sit here and tell you I expected him to play well or not. I was like, you know, I just can't wait to see it. I don't know what's about to happen. Yeah. And that's the excitement of the NFL. So why would we fucking love this guy, damn league? He gets that ball out, though. He did some shots. So he took some shots. It's the NFL. You get you. There's not a single game where a quarterback is he going to take a shot. Yeah. The one where the snap went high on him and he had to collect it. He got accordion by about three CMs back then. I was like, come on, get him to. I'm accordion. You don't fill it. Dude, that was a vicious one. The old accordion deck. He literally pulled the cleats out of his trophy case. How about that? He put my own it up on the wall and he takes him about. He pulled out the little Johnny United's is. He's just saying, fuck it. I'm going to go place these leather things up. That's hilarious. What a guy, man. High school team was cheering him on during the game. Let's take a look at this video. But there is. Yeah. Same Michael Catholic. Fair hope. Alabama. I have an watch party today. And he had the best post game speech. I've heard in a while. I thought it was outstanding. You know, hopefully my sons and those ball players that I'm in charge of at the school, they'll say like, hey, crap. Coach wasn't scared. Nice. There's more to the quote than what's here too. You know, he's talking about, you know, you come in and you don't know. There's a doubt in your head. And having the courage to go out there and fight, right? Because the easy thing is just sit at the house, right? That's essentially what you say. Easy choice would be to, hey, I don't got to give it a shot. I'm perfectly fine over here. I thought facing doubt, facing criticism, going out there, playing the way he did. And the message that sends to the young men that he's in charge of in that area, as well as his own family. Incredible. And we forget a lot about what sports is about too often. I think this is a great reminder by Philip. And Rivers was always that guy, man. For sure. And courage through the fucking world. You know, he's always been that guy that's played this game the right way, man. And no matter what the record was, no matter what the situation was. So I expected nothing less, but it's awesome to see him go out there and still be able to slay a slainy old PA skiing around. Maybe unfortunately they didn't get the win though. Yeah. Great job. Thanks. They're fucking great. Good as fucking football team right now though. I'm not going to lie. I'm not that shit in the free season. I started seeing some guys flying around. Sammy D is out there fucking making it, making a shake. Jackson Smith and Jigba. Dude, obviously he's got you got you get a guy that can get open on demand, man. You still got to get him to ball. Look at Justin Jefferson though. What he did with Justin Jefferson the year before now, Justin. Numbers haven't been as great for him this year even though he's still probably the same player. And Jigba, balling out one common denominator. He's got Donald throwing it to him. There you go, baby. What other retired player should get back out there? I was thinking about this. Who else would be like? I mean, I know a guy still trying to prove his athleticism and trying to dunk. Travis, I can't bend my elbow like that. I think somebody. I got a loose body. This is, I can't even touch my head right now because I got a loose body stuck in my fucking elbow joint. We're going to get that shit cleaned out, Jason. Well, that's, I'm trying to avoid surgery, Travis. Then we got to get some rehab going. Are we not rehabbing? There's not a rehab. There's just a piece of cartilage that's floating around in there and it's stuck in my joint. Oh, well, yeah. Jason, you got to go and get that shit cleaned out. I usually I can find it and then like push it out of the joint and that and it goes back to being fine. I can't do it right now. It's like stuck somewhere. I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving. We'll go get MRI and figure it. Anyways, not going to be me. What up? Who else? It's got to be a position that's not that physical, right? It's football. Aaron Donald bringing back. Bring A.D. back. He could do it. No doubt. No doubt about it. Going to Super Bowl run, A.D. No doubt about it. Who else could go do it? Who else could go do it? I feel like Fudge or Cosh could still go in there and give some snaps if you wanted to. He's lost a lot of weight though. He is. He's lost a lot of weight. Good for him. He's doing good. He's doing good. How about a, how about a big wit? Big wit. Big wit. I mean, that guy's made it protect the past. Yeah. He gets out of his bed being NFL tackle. I think, Fudge, we talked about it before. We're shit. Fudge. Joe Thomas could go out there play tight end right now. That dude is. Tight end. That dude is. He's yelling. He is. He is cut up. Little blocky tight end. Dude, 100%. Grok, Grok, and Fy think Grok could do it. He can give you, he can give you a bunch of games for sure. What about any other quarterback? Peyton Manning come up out of there. I don't know. That's the oldest a quarterback could go. Peyton had the next stuff, man. Like Kurt Warner, get him back out there. You think you go out there and sling it a little bit? Kurt. I'm not damn marino on the sideline. What's Dan these days? Dan, Dan's probably not even interested in it. He looks good though. I'm just going to be honest. He's still. He's probably still got a glow to him. He's just, he's just the. I think we need to just see what's the oldest quarterback that could go out there and have function in offense. Damn, we know 64. Dude, I'll tell you what, man. I went to speaking of Kurt Warner. I went to Kurt Warner's, went to his foundation to have been out in Arizona one year. Yeah. He always has X NFL players, quarterbacks, guys that could throw the ball. He had, he had me come in there and, and were the automatic, were the automatic Cubis. So basically you sign up for a team or you, you draft your quarterback in a seven on seven game. And I was playing quarterback with a bunch of guys from, I think it was the military if I remember correctly. But either way, you know who was out there fucking slinging it and looking like he was like, large and in charge. Who? Doug Flutey. Doug Flutey. Dude, Doug, yeah, I'm pretty sure Flutey still plays in like a men's like baseball league. He like serves every day, dude. I'm dead as serious, dude. Flutey is still like, he can't let his system do. And he's still wired to like fucking lead the boys to victory. I promise you, dude. I feel like we should just go on like a old like quarterbacks just giving it one, one game just to see if they can make it through. You already know a 44 year old can do it off the street. Five years removed. Yeah. One of the quarterbacks are like in that age, like trying to think of guys like older than older than 40. 44 younger than Damarina though. Like I just saw Ben Rathasberger like John Kittna. John Kittna. Kittna, Kittna was slinging around that same tournament. Yeah, I was like, Drew Bledso. Drew could, I mean, yeah, of course. Jason could Aikman Troy. He still looks good in shape. And I don't know how I don't know if he still got the lively arm. That's see, that's the thing, man. Personally, I feel like Rivers was, he was around his high school team. He was around, you know, he's out there. He's around the game. He's still probably throwing the ball around, showing the quarterbacks, the mechanics and, and how do you get the ball out and stuff like that? He's got very unique mechanics. I don't think most guys are throwing the ball like he did. I mean, it's still a fucking live arm. You know what I mean? He's, he's, he's always, he's never like not had that. So I think, I think he's kind of stayed around the game enough to do it. And I don't know. I mean, Dilford, Dilford was, he was down there and was a UAV coach. It did. Gosh, who was trying to think of like, who was the wave before Peyton? Joe Montana, step out on the field for a second. Joe Montana? Dude, have you ever met Montana? No. Smooth cat. Dude, oh my gosh. I was like, dude, he had the aura of like a movie star, man. Like he was just like the coolest dude I've ever met in my life, man. It was so fun. 100%. He could give you a game. L way, L way still slinging it around. He's been around the game. He's been over there in Denver as in the, in the organization. Hi. Shhhhh. She's got a touchy subject. Yeah, we'll see. Let's move on here. We got some questions. Who's winning the NFC? That's a question. Man. It's really going to be the Rams or Seahawks. I don't know what all these other teams are doing in this list, right? Like, yeah, I think Rams take it. I think Rams take it. They got a little bit more of a veteran feel to them right now. Even though the Seahawks are playing fucking great, I'm pretty sure they, if it ended today, they would have it, right? The Rams would. Yeah, yeah. I don't see them. Now, the Seahawks did the last time they played them, they lost barely. But Sam Donnell turned it over four times. So like, you know, it'll be interesting to see who comes down out of that. But I just, I don't think it's going to be the Bears. I think the Bears are going to lose some of these games coming down the stretch. And if NFC North is going to beat the crap out of each other, 49ers, I think what Kyle Shanahan has done in that staff this year with all the injuries has been incredible. But no, I think it's the Rams and Seahawks in that division this year. Packers just lost Parsons, which I think they're still a good team. But Parsons was the guy that, I mean, they went out and paid. They knew they needed a piece like that to be, you know, a four-down rush team and do all the interesting stuff in the back end that halfly likes. And now they're going to potentially have to blitz a little bit more and mix it up to generate the pressure. Or Rashon Garry is going to have to start playing like Micah Parsons, which he's got a great season. But a lot of that is because he's been out there with Micah Parsons. I mean, I think the Rams are the best team right now in the NFC. Eagles are right there. I think they're going to keep playing better. And I do think they're going to be formidable in these playoffs, the Bears, and Johnson as these guys roll in. What do you think of the Bears? I love watching them, man. There's some of those teams where you could just see, I don't know, man. I just, I love watching teams that have Airbnb as their coach. Airbnb's on the Bears? Fuck yeah, baby. I didn't know that. Yeah, he's a running backs baby. Running backs coach. Over there dog. There's just something. And then my guy, Joe Tuney, I just, there's so much familiarity over there just from those guys. And obviously hanging out with the tight ends. They got a young guy in Colson. They got a, they got a fucking veteran in Colt. I love watching the scheme. I mean, it is so creative. I just feel like there are a few pieces away. It feels like. Yeah. But you never know. I, who else? Packers. I think that's about it. But we do get to see the Seahawks and Rams play this Thursday. So there'll be some implications on how that NFC and definitely the NFC West plays out. Here, Layton, Layton, December, baby. Do we need to get back to dangerous halftime shows? Or halftime shows getting to fucking? I just want to get back to exciting halftime shows. It doesn't even have to be dangerous. That kind of goes in with it, but I hear you. I mean, yeah, dangerous is inherently exciting. But there's other ways to make it exciting. Like, I just, if I have to see another dog catching a fucking frisbee, I'm going to blow my brains out. Yeah. No, I hear you. Where is the creativity? I respect the fun. But why is it at the NFL halftime show? That's like a college deal. It's a timeout thing. If there was one of them, it'd be really cool. Or if the dog jumped over like a flaming bridge, I'd be all in. But it's just it's not that exciting to me. Like, I can go to any park and watch some dickhead play catch with a frisbee and his dog. Well, he's got to be a dickhead. Did you see the Broncos mutton bust in halftime show? I did not. Let's see it. Let's check it out. Let's see what this is about. Do you know what mutton is Travis? Nope. Mutton is sheep meat. Oh, wow. He's trying to ride it. Yes. Yeah, far I can go. See, this is what I'm talking about. This is new. This is creative. This is interesting. I've never seen anybody ride a sheep. Yes. See how long you can last. I'm all in on this. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Yeah. Come out. You don't think it's exciting to watch a little kid ride a sheep for as long as possible? Not for the NFL halftime show, no. I think it's good. Oh, man, I am completely. This is exactly the fucking dog frisbee thing. The dog frisbee thing will be fine if I had never seen it. It's just that it's been done so much. Do something new. Do something creative. That's why this is interesting to me. I'm not gonna see people are making a living. They're going around stadium to stadium selling this. I know. And I'm saying that's that's why it's not good. This is what I'm talking about. Do you see this? Tidah, yeah. It's the first NFL halftime show of all time. You sign enough for that or what? I'm not doing it. I'm too happy for it. The most impressive thing about this entire thing isn't just the loop. It's how quick he stops. He's stopping once he's already around it. I already stopped that so quick. Look at how excited they are. I love this. Yeah, they probably had never seen him do it before. They were all like, he's dead and proud. Because it's very dangerous. We'll see if he can nail it. He's still every time and practice. Yeah, I almost broke his neck. We gave him a neck brace this time. Yeah, see how he's got the lean forward. He's probably lean back one time and fucking off this self. I just think we can be more creative with the halftime shows. You did it, man. You fucking did it, dude. I knew you could do it. I'm not living on this. What is this? The 70s? 1970s, right? Let's bring the creativity up on halftime shows in a film. All right, shout out to those mutton bus and kids, man. I don't like shitin' on kids unless they deserve it. And they didn't deserve that, so I'm sorry. But Liam. Liam is meat from lands, right? Maybe she thought for it, yeah. Mutton is the meat of a fully grown sheep. Why have we all never had mutton? Well, in some countries they do eat mutton. Some actually shepherds pie traditionally made with mutton. Now we use beef because there's a lot more cows. They probably still eat mutton a lot of places. I've had mutton. Oh, man, myself, so. Huh? Tacos with camscar to boob. Jason, you got out of the house eating tacos in LA. And then got called out by the taco king himself. Who did I get? Oh, yeah. Why didn't get called out? Maybe. No, we gave him a shout out because the way the taco was made out there in LA and Marisco's to Halisco was it was like it was flat in sideways in deep frown, which I never had a shrimp taco. Do the quik-t I was deep fried. I was deep fried. Oh my god. Come on back out to Kansas City. I'll take you to the spot. Trust, I'm not. I'm not going to Kansas City for tacos. Why? Because it's the Midwest. I'm not. I'm doing it. I'm ready for tacos. I'll go down into like Miami for tacos. I go to Arizona for tacos. I'm going to Texas for Tex-Mex. I promise you, dude. You can find fucking multiple authentic spots. All right. I'll give it a chance. I'll give it a chance. Yeah. With a bunch of flower tortillas. No deep fried. Just the way you're thinking. All right. I'll give it a try. I'll give it a try. Shout out to Rudy's. Rudy's? Yes. That's not sound. I'm not going to a taco spot called Rudy's. Rudy's tenapa to poor. I forget what exactly it is. You're not sprinting like, hey, this is Noah's tacos. I'm not going to Noah's tacos. It's authentic, okay, Jason? They give it to you on foil. Just doesn't look that authentic to me, dude. If it's a paper plate with some foil, that's good. They bring out fucking, uh, like, gallon jugs of fucking salsa that they make out in the back. No fucking sticker on it. No, they make it house made, but they bring it out and gallons. Pull up Marisco's, Marisco's, Halisco's, Halisco isn't even a fucking word. I don't even know if that's how you pronounce it. Halisco. All right. That sounds more like a word. It's a taco truck. That's where you get out of here. Get out of here. Get this shit out of here. You're out of your mind. Get this fucking. You are. Get this out of my face. There's no chance any place in Casey is competing with street meat. Street meat. You brought your thing. Street meat's fucking eating something close to a dog. No, it's not. This it is. No, it's not. It is not where they come from. Look up where tacos come from. You want me to Google where tacos come from? Where tacos come from? Where did tacos come from? Okay. This is ridiculous. I can't believe you're trying to compete with this thing. US introduction to tacos. Mexican immigrants brought tacos to the US where they were initially seen as street food. According to who? Name your source. According to the AI. Yeah. Get this shit out of here. I'm just saying like what are we talking about? Like tacos are street like it's it's addition to be on the go. It's a fully encapsulated thing. The plate. It's not supposed to be in a street ball. Kansas City. I think you can find tacos anywhere. I'm an optimist. You can't. You definitely can optimist. I will try these tacos. I just I think that I will be beyond shocked. Do they all we all know what that means Jason. We all know what that means. I'll try. I'll try. We already know you can. Yeah. Exactly what I think taco should be. I will give him an honest assessment. I already know what your assessment is going to be. If they're legit, then I'll never be honest. It'll never be honest. 100% I've never been honest. Unless it comes from a taco truck. I'm always on the deal. Wanna you're not fucking gonna like them. No, I'd love tons of trucks and tacos. I love. I will do that at some point in the off season or soon. Who knows? We'll think of that. Yeah, I'm not touching a single thing out of a fucking taco truck. What about the burger joint? The burger truck, franking it up. Kansas City fan. That was also in that post. That's my favorite LA burger. What, that's your favorite LA burger? You're fucking wrong. I'll fight you down. No, because burgers are street meat. They were brought here by the French to sell in the streets of New York. All right. Thanks for the shout out, Cam. We're going to keep trying to eat taco sideways without spilling them all over my lap if I can. Dominate the talking. Thank you to our partner, Roca.

Draft Jays, Pixics. We're nearing the end of the regular season and every team is fighting. To earn their spot, we've got some big matchups this week. Let's talk about some of them. What's on his clothes? Patriots Ravens, Eagles Commanders, Ramsey Hawks, Packers Bears, Luxbanner, Jagsburgers. Who are the most excited for a voice? Ooh, Jake, go first. I know you've rehearsed this. You want me to go first? Oh, yeah. I did not rehearse this. Let's go ahead. Go ahead. These are completely off the cuff takes, but I have two thoughts. I think so right away, you have two thoughts. Two thoughts. Yeah, right away off the cuff after hearing that list of game, two thoughts. First is Bucks Panthers. Like I thought that division would have been decided by now. They've got two games against each other in the next like three weeks. They do. But whoever wins this one, I think is going to have the leg up going, obviously, into the repeat matchup. So Bucks Panthers to decide the division. That's my number one game. The second game, bit of a wild card, but Patriots Ravens for a couple of reasons. One, I would be very shocked if the Ravens ended up out of the playoffs. And I think if they don't win this game, they very well could be left out of the dance. Wild. The other thing too is just again, I really everything back to being a Jets van. I would love for the Patriots to not get the number one overall scene. So I'm really, really, really pulling for the Ravens. Are you shocked to see a rebuild take less than 25 years? I didn't know that's not supposed to be possible. This is all like you can just actually put together a good team pretty quick. That's not really that hard. It's just be a well functioning organization. Just a good coach and drafts good quarterback. Apparently, yeah. I'm going to go. I'm going to say honestly, the game I'm most excited for is Thursday, Ram Seahawks. I feel like there's just that number one seeds up for grabs in like division opponents on a short week is pretty wild to me. But I'm going to watch Niners Colts. I'm going to watch whatever Philip Rivers does. I've never been more excited for a player that's a phenomenal storyline this year. No doubt. He only chose to come back against the best defenses for some reason. So I'm pumped from a boy. He did, right? He's like Seahawks Niners. Niners are not the best defense. They're up there. They're not bad. They're okay. Jason Kelsey with some takes. There was also that rumor that had the Niners beaten the Eagles the year that Brock Perties arm like got hurt in the NFC championship. That Shanahan was going to call Philip Rivers to have him play the Super Bowl. Wow. I want to see like Shanahan's mind against Rivers mind. That'll be a fun matchup. Ooh. Well done, boys. There you go. I'm definitely Ram Seahawks Packers Bears. Yeah. None of these other games are that intriguing to me. How many of us can we lose? Just Bucks Panthers is super important to see who makes it out of that division. I just they both are. I don't think they're going to be. Jack's Broncos. Jack's Broncos could have some juice because that's, I mean, I still just question the Broncos and I want to see the Jags are it against that defense. All of these games are actually awesome. I'm going to take that back. They're all awesome. There you go. But no, Ram Seahawks very much interesting watching that. I don't know. First. Packers Bears. Bucks Panthers. It matters. I'm so I'm such a huge fan of Baker and Todd Boles. But they just haven't played great. A lot of that's from injuries. But yeah, it's an important game. Big weekend. Great weekend. It's a good weekend. There's been a lot of weeks of pretty crappy games. This is an outstanding loaded week. Great weekend of football. All right.

Once you're on top of him, you just gotta keep your way. Well, I tell you avoid holding penalty too. Yeah, because if you hold him down, it's a flag. This is nothing. This is just body weight. This is just body weight. He's falling on himself. You're on. I'm talking. It's hilarious. That's it. I'm going to give it to Dion Dawkins for the heads up moves. I love this. Goddamn that's good. Well done, Dion. Well done. Is that not the Dion, man? Just pause it right there. Just, he literally spun on him, dude. That's fucking hilarious. I'll give my stamp to Dion Dawkins.
