Everything happens for a Reese's. Usually the conversation around here is about football. Today, the topic is gas for one of the sponsors, specifically Mobile Supreme Plus Premium Gasoline. Let's start with the fact that Mobile Supreme Plus Premium is amazing. It keeps engines three times cleaner, so engines perform better for better gas mileage. Just ask motorsports legend Shirley Cha-Cha Muldowney. She raced top fuel dragsters in the 70s, so she knows a thing or two about gasoline. She also knows a thing or two about the 70s, so if there are any questions about leisure suits, vinyl, or fondue, fire away. One might wonder why they call her Cha-Cha. Like, is it a family name? Or a marketing ploy? Or maybe she thought it sounded cool. It's very curious. Getting back to fuel, Shirley and the team highly recommend Mobile Supreme Plus Premium. Because it keeps engines three times cleaner for better performance and gas mileage. By the way, Cha-Cha Muldowney, she drove a pink car. Mobile. Legendary. Three times cleaner compared to Mobile Regular Gas and Port Fuel Injected Engines. Actual results may vary. Visit mobilefuels.com for details. 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 right now. I can't even touch my head right now. Because I got a loose body stuck in my f***ing elbow joint. Well, go and get that s*** cleaned out, 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 got to go and get that s*** cleaned out. It's, like, stuck somewhere. I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving. I don't know. Anyway, it's not going to be me. Welcome back to New High's. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, a Wondery show brought to you by Allstate. You're in good hands with Allstate. We're your hosts. I'm Travis Kelsey.

Before we get into that, we're going to get into some new news. New news. New news is brought to you by Reese's Trees. Oh, we're in the holiday season, aren't we? The Reese's holiday treats are the best. We've always said it, whether it's pumpkins or trees or. I'm sure they got some type of bunny thing. bunny thing going on. It's. Oh, the eggs. Reese's Trees, better than Reese's Pumpkins. Is that the question you're asking, Brandon? It looks like it. I mean, honestly, I think it's pretty similar. It's definitely similar to the pumpkin in the fact that they both have more peanut butter to chocolate ratio, which I enjoy. So. I think it's probably about the same, if I'm being honest. We're going even. We're going even. Well, we got a lot of new heights coming your way for the holidays. This Friday, we're going to be dropping our Film Club Review.

And since it's the holiday season, I'm going to 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, uh, we lost our quarterback, man. Patty Mahomes, our guy, our, our brother, our, uh, our fearless leader, our face of the franchise and, um, to an ACL and, uh, it's just, it's never easy seeing your guys go down. We had a bunch of guys get hurt this past game and, um, 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 and, um, for the season to be going like it did, uh, up to that point. point and we're on our last you know quest to to try and keep our playoff hopes alive there in the fourth quarter and on a freakish play to see one five go down like that man it fucking it it was almost like it was it wasn't real and um and it shit just sucks man um for a guy that puts in that much and um puts his body on the line week in week out and and you know makes this football world uh he makes the best of it man by by how hard he works and it just it sucks man and then uh obviously we we had some momentum going there with our guy garter minshu man and uh tried to find a way there at the end and it's just uh things just didn't go our way up to that point and um and yeah and that's the uh that's the game for you right there it's just uh things just you know when you need them the most just weren't falling for us and uh you got to go back to the drawing boards man and um and we got three games left i know we're still talking about this game but uh the integrity of who you are as a professional as a player um you got to love this shit man and um and uh chiefs kingdom we're going to give you everything we got there's there's no question about that there's only one way i do things there's only one way coach reed 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 uh keep trying to get this things fixed and end on uh the highest note that we can well for the first time since 2014 the chiefs are eliminated from the postseason which is an 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 only one but i don't and there was only one game where we needed some things to happen and it didn't happen and then we we played the last game with uh our guy chase daniels shut up yeah so it's just wild i mean it's wild being there and you know i feel like it and it completely did it's a crazy completely different year that year we didn't have any wide receiver score touchdown right as crazy as that this year we're you know numbers wise we're we're up there with some of the top offenses and depending on what category you're looking at but um just critical moments man uh all the games we've lost were one score games man we were in it right there uh to the end yeah one in seven and one score games even that game up until the very last pick i feel like you guys were gonna in my head i'm like oh they're gonna find a way to get it done and it's just because 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 i guess approach the rest of the season you talked about a little bit we're gonna go out there and battle together it's kind of unfamiliar territory at this point for a lot of guys in the building um the guys that have been there and i'm the only one that's been on the team uh long enough to to see us not make the playoffs or to play a game that that you know you there's not implications for furthering the season yeah um and uh you know it's obviously fucked up but uh but it's it's a new feeling so all i know is to go out there and play my ass off and and to show up and uh you know give my guys the best chance to win and uh and i think that's that's the mentality man there's an integrity thing here that when you sign up for the gig uh you're living out your dreams you're living out a kid's dream that that never got a chance to do this you're living out um you know man yeah you're uh you're playing this game obviously to win superbowls you're playing this game to be in those playoff 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 um 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 uh playing for the for the guys around you playing for your family playing for the uh the people back home that are watching you then that have known you since you were a little kid dreaming about this moment um or dreaming about these moments being in the nfl um and i'll tell you what man if uh if there's a game to be had baby i'm gonna go out there and i'm gonna love fucking playing in it uh 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 and that's the integrity you gotta you gotta fucking go out there with for sure the other thing i always think about whenever i played 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 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 gonna look different right guys are gonna be back guys aren't gonna be back it's it's no two years are the same and you try to enjoy those the few weeks that you know you have together you and yeah obviously the big thing looming is not only you guys out of the playoffs but you know patrick mahomes tears his acl in december usually that'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 i mean it was just a devastating like kind of final moment there and gardener went out there and battled his ass off but you know you know gardener's gonna do that baby yeah that's just that's all that's how he's built man and uh and we're gonna fucking fight for him from here on out and then go out there and try to win some ball games with my guy g and obviously it came out that the 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 um has been crowned champion because he's battled through everything and he's gonna battle through this it's the it's the only way this guy is is wired man he's uh he's a fearless fearless warrior when it comes to this football thing and he's gonna make sure that he comes back stronger than ever and um and you know hopefully the chiefs can get him back as as soon as possible i know right now it's kind of right around that week one or the the beginning of the season next year so um i know he's going to be doing everything he can to get back there back out on that field for the chiefs um as soon as possible man i love it brother you guys are headed to tennessee to face the two and twelve titans yeah man we got the titans and the titans as as their record may show they they've only won two games but man they're fucking playing hard hell yeah brother and they got guys uh 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 uh and uh we're gonna we're gonna have to find ways to be able to slow him down and uh make uh our guy garner back get comfortable back there and from there it's just uh mastering the game plan and getting out there and um and getting after it man we do have this mic'd up video of you and derwin who had the game ceiling interception let's take a look at this we've had so many battles man what a great dude man just plays the game the right way the attitude he is physical i love it when you know you can you can get after somebody on the football field they can fucking pick you up and body slam you 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 do it man so um it was an honor to swap jerseys with him and uh the honor to share the fucking gridiron with him man i'm a guy that i fucking love this game man i love the i love it when i get to go being is another guy that i watch on film i'm like that guy fucking plays this game the right way you know and uh and he got me on a few this past game it's cool that he uh 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 the jersey yet yeah yeah i shot it over to him oh nice there you go i still owe a few guys jerseys so you still owe me a jersey jason do i i feel like you have a jersey of mine i've stole like three jerseys from your house just laying around so i might have stole somebody else's that you're meant to get out to them dude i i had like a mad dash of getting jerseys out to other guys late just start a note just starting notes of like reminding yourself i don't remember the guys now at this point but you'll remember them when you see them you'll be like oh shit i was supposed to get that guy jersey just write it down there's two guys like i know i already i sent them jerseys but i never got confirmation they got them i hope they got them my bearcats i played in india i haven't gotten their the jerseys over to them yet uh sauce alec pierce yeah our guy alec pierce did he's a stud i know let's keep this thing moving man shout out to the chargers our guy jesse mentor coach mentor i

trav want to move on to uh some of the other things that happened this past week yeah let's talk a little raiders eagles let's do it man so far new heights has played the the raiders pretty well that's right they haven't scored a single point against either one of our teams uh the eagles 31 raiders zero 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 going to be how much shotgun how much under center like what's the flavor and in the first series i think there were like seven runs there was a quarterback designed run it was clear that they were going to stick with that and try 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 las vegas raiders but but this eagles team needs to be moving forward and then defensively i mean i think they held the raiders to 70 yards on offense like it was an all-time performance from the defense this is what this team can be you know you you even when the run's not hitting 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 the buffalo bills they're they've pretty much all but clinched their spot in the playoffs they just need one more win and it's over um 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 seed if they win out there's a chance they could be the two seed what i would like to see these last three games is continue to pound the rock 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 in executing these plays i think it's going to help out jaylen 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 then a game like this you see it all clicking man it just it shows you what you got man and then you just build off of it and it's uh it's crazy what uh what one game of putting it together can do man it can 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 uh basically after you uh you win a shutout game um the following week uh 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 a stat to maybe tell the boys text the boys hey yo like that's so weird why it's a very weird stat and it might even be more than that really i think it was a staggering staggering number of of of teams that lose that following week i think kind of just it makes you feel at ease maybe the game plan isn't as as crazy maybe the game plan isn't it you know what i mean like whatever it is whatever it may be the guys uh or 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 nice there we go um but this is what gronk said about playing the raiders which is uh very very hilarious thing not very nice but when you play the raiders it's like putting neosporin 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 weeks and understandably you know the eagles had not been performing well they were not performing well they were not performing well they were not performing well uh 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 gronk 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 that's the 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 we'll see well jalen hurts 12 for 15 almost a perfect day um 175 yards three tutties before being replaced by tanner mckee um and then uh jalen quote after the game he's always got one for us everybody needs to remember where i came from and how i'm built all right now there you go he's been i'm sure he's been hearing all of the stuff talking about it in the media and i mean listen it was a great bounce back game for him obviously the game before with the turnovers and everything very uncharacteristic of jalen hurts 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 would have played the whole game 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 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 a lot 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 is showing signs of going in the right direction and let's prove that yeah and and hopefully we get another game this coming week against the commanders that'll show that a little bit more there you go well we got a lebron stat of the game our guy at 37 years old and 255 days on top of those 37 years brandon player in eagles history to record a sack in a game here we go bg grandpa graham grandpa graham everybody's talking about 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 he had two sacks he had a great day yeah yeah he had two sacks yeah doesn't surprise me one bit dude he was he was balling he was in very vengeance form who was the oldest before that shit it might have been bernie graham yeah i mean it was great it was brandon graham at 36 years old 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 um well you guys mentioned you guys played the commanders on saturday um a little saturday in december baby those college games start uh kind of going away and all of a sudden uh nfl is played on saturdays now baby let's go baby uh if the eagles win or the news 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 gonna come to an end too i mean it's absolutely bonkers it's been 20 years since somebody repeated and um yeah way to go birds suck on that cowboys what other games got flexed 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 well two o'clock game that's such a weird time i don't like it's saturday i know i get it but i don't it's also it's also could be west coast because this is brandon's computer that is west coast that's brandon's 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 stop fucking with me nfl you're 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 moved you to 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 we figured it out live on air perfect all right well yeah short week well uh good luck to the birds baby let's uh take our uh talents to the rest of the nfl and talk about some philip rivers is fucking back baby 44 years old a grandfather exactly 1800 days since the last start you went 18 years old and you're still a fan of philip rivers 18 for 27 for 120 yards one touchdown one interception he gets the seahawks interception was the last play of the game he's playing great i i think everybody so there are a lot of questions throughout the week everybody a lot of people were joking about it a lot of people were like this shouldn't be happening and um i think he gave them their best chance i mean that's the reality of it they're playing the seahawks one of the best defenses in the nfl this doesn't 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 leonard riley leonard was he going to give him their best shot what was riley they're going to do against the seahawks we'll never know i mean i think we do though we can only go out there and play that well i don't think we can only assume a lot of people were assuming that phil was going to go out there and get sawed in half yeah yeah i mean listen i'm not gonna 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 that's why we fucking love this goddamn league he gets that ball out though he did take some shots though he took some shots it's the nfl you get you there's not a single game where a quarterback isn't 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 c-box back there i was like come on get up phil get up philip dude that was a vicious one of the old accordion tech he literally pulled the cleats out of his trophy case how about that mounted up on the wall and he takes him about he pulls out the old johnny unituses and said i'm gonna go with the lace 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 philip's team saint michael catholic in fairhope alabama having a 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 man there's more to the quote than what's what's here too you know he's talking about you know you come in and you don't know there's 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're saying easy choice would be to hey so 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 and 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 uh no matter what the record was no matter what the situation was um so i expected nothing less but it's awesome to see see them go out there and still be able to sling a sling the old pig skiing around baby unfortunately they didn't get the window yeah great job seahawks are a fucking great good ass fucking football team right now though i'm not gonna lie i saw that shit in the preseason 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 give him the 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 um 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 i think somebody 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's 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 out i don't know anyway it's not going to be me what up who else it's got to be a position that's not that physical right dude it's football aaron donald i mean bring him back bring ad back i he could do it no doubt no doubt go on a super bowl run ad no doubt about it who else could go do it who else could go do it i feel like fletcher kosh 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 down he's lost a lot of weight he's doing good he's doing good how about uh how about i got big wit big wit big wit i mean that guy's made to protect the passer he gets out of his bed be an nfl tackle i think fuck we talked about it before we're shit fucking joe thomas could go out there play tight end right now that's tight end that dude is fucking he is he is cut up little blocky tight end dude 100 gronk gronk could i think gronk could do it he can give you he can give you a bunch of games for sure what about any other quarterback could pay man to come up out of there i don't know what's the oldest a quarterback could go and have the next stuff man like kurt warner get him back out there you think you go out there and sling it a little bit i saw dan marino on the sideline what's dan these days dan dan's probably not even interested he looks good though i'm just gonna be honest bro he's still you know he's probably still got that glow to him he's just he's just the i think we need to we need to just see what's the oldest quarterback that could go out there and have function and offense dan marino's 60 for dude i'll tell you what man i went to speaking of kurt warner i went to kurt warner's uh what his foundation event out in arizona one year yeah and um he always has uh ex-nfl players quarterbacks uh guys that could throw the ball um he had he had me come in there and uh and we're the automatic we're the automatic qbs 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 oh wow a bunch of guys from i think it was the military if i remember correctly but either way um you know who was out there fucking slinging it and looking like he was like large and in charge who doug flutie doug flutie dude doug i'm pretty sure flutie still plays in like a men's like baseball league he like surfs every day dude i'm dead ass serious dude flutie is still like peak athleticism dude and he's still wired to like fucking lead the boys to victory i promise you dude i feel like i'm going to win we should just go on like an 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 what other quarterbacks are like in that age like trying to think of guys like like older than older than 40 older than 44 younger than dan marino though um like i just saw ben roethlisberger like john kitna john kitna kitna kitna was slinging around that that's the same tournament like drew bledsoe drew could i mean yeah of course achman could achman troy he still looks good and in shape and and i don't know i don't know if he's 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 to get the ball out and stuff like that like 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 no question he's he's he's always he's never like not had that so i think uh i think he's kind of stayed around the game enough to do it and i don't know i mean dilfer dilfer was he was down there and uh was a uab coaching gosh who was i'm 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 no smooth cat yeah dude oh my gosh i was like dude this 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 elway elway still slinging it around he's he's been around the game he's been over there in uh in denver as uh in the in the organization all right see what he'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 that's a question um man it's really gonna 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 donald was the first one to win the nfc and he was the first one to win 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 gonna be the bears i think the bears are gonna lose some of these games coming down the stretch and if nfc north is gonna beat the crap out of each other 49ers i think what cal shanahan's done and 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 halfley likes and now they're gonna potentially have to blitz a little bit more and mix it up to generate the pressure or rashaun gary's gonna have to start playing like michael parsons which he's had a great season but a lot of that is because he's been out there with michael parsons i mean i think the rams are the best team right now in the nfc eagles are right there i think they're gonna keep playing better and i do think they're going to be formidable in these playoffs the bears ben 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 i just i love watching teams that have eric b enemy as their coach eric b enemies on the bears fuck yeah baby i didn't know that yeah he's a running back he's over there dog there's just something and then my guy joe tooney i just there's so much familiarity over there just from those guys and obviously hanging out with the the tight ends and um they got a lot of good players and they're going to be a good team and they're going to be a good young guy and colson they got a they got a fucking veteran and colt i love watching the scheme i mean it is so creative and i just feel like they're they're a few pieces away it feels like yeah but you never know all right 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 uh nfc and definitely the nfc west uh plays out um here late in late in december baby do we need to get dangerous halftime shows or halftime shows getting too 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 gonna blow my brains out yeah no i hear you where's the creativity i respect the fun but why is it at the nfl halftime show that's like a 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 why does he got to be a dickhead hey did you see the the broncos uh mutton busting 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 this is hilarious wow he's trying to ride it yeah see how 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 a anybody ride a sheep yeah see how long you can last i'm all in on this this is the kind of stuff i'm talking about no i'm 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 this is the It's exactly the fucking dog. The dog frisbee thing. The dog frisbee thing would 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've never seen this. People are making a living. They're going around stadium to stadium selling this. I know. And I'm saying that's why it's not good. This is what I'm talking about. Did you see this? Did I? Yeah, it's the first NFL halftime show of all time. You signing up for that or what? I'm not doing it. I'm too heavy 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. How did he stop 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, well, he doesn't practice because it's very dangerous. We'll see if he can nail it. He's missed it every time in practice. He almost broke. His neck. We gave him a neck brace this time. See how he's got to lean forward. He's probably leaned back one time and fucking off to himself. 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 all in on this. What is this? The 70s? 1970. You're right. So good. Let's bring the creativity up on halftime shows, NFL. All right. Shout out to those mutton busting kids, man. I don't like shitting on kids unless they deserve it. And they didn't deserve that. So I'm sorry. But lamb. Lamb is meat from lambs, right? Baby sheep. Yeah. 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. Actually, shepherd's pie, traditionally made with mutton. Now we use beef because there's a lot more cows. They probably still eat mutton in a lot of places. I've had mutton before. I'm a big pie man myself, so. Tacos with Cam Scataboo. 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. Well, I didn't get called out. Maybe. No. We gave him a shout out because the way the taco was made out there in LA at Marisco's Jalisco was, it was like, it was flat and sideways and deep fried, which I'd never had a shrimp taco with a quarter or two and it was deep fried. Oh, my God. Come on back out to Kansas City. I'll take you to the spot. Trust, I'm not going to Kansas City for tacos. Why? Because it's the Midwest. I'm not going to LA for tacos. I'll go down into like Miami for tacos. I'll 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. Yeah. With a bunch of flour 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 does not sound. I'm not going to a taco spot called Rudy's. Rudy's. Tanapa. I forget what exactly it is. You're not 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 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 in gallons. Pull up Marisco's Jalisco. Marisco's Jalisco's. Jalisco isn't even a fucking word. I don't even know if that's how you pronounce it. Jalisco. All right. That sounds more like a word. It's a taco truck. That's where you get tacos. 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 KC is competing with LA Tacos. Fucking street meat. Street meat? You brought. You think street meat's fucking. That's like where tacos come from. 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 do tacos come from? Okay. This is ridiculous. I can't believe you're trying to compete with this thing. U.S. introduction to tacos. Mexican immigrants brought tacos to the U.S. where they were initially seen as street food. According to who? Name your source. According to the AI Google research. Yeah, get the fuck out of here. I'm just saying, like, what are we talking about? Like, tacos are street. Like, it's a dish. It'd be on the go. It's a fully encapsulated thing. It's a plate. It's not supposed to be in a strip mall in Kansas City. I think you can find tacos anywhere. I'm an optimist. You definitely can. I'm an optimist. I will try these tacos. I just, I think that I will be beyond shocked if they compete. We all know what that means, Jason. We all know what that means. I'll try them. I'll try them. We already know. They're all right, but they're not exactly what I think tacos should be. I will give them an honest assessment. I already know what your assessment's going to be. If they're legit. If they're legit, then I'll be honest. It'll never be honest. 100%. I promise. I'm always honest. Unless it comes from a taco truck from Tijuana, you're not fucking going to like them. No. I love tons of trucks and tacos. I love every one of them. They're great. We'll do that at some point in the off season or soon. Who knows? We'll figure that out. 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. That's my favorite L.A. burger. What? That's your favorite L.A. burger? You're fucking wrong. I'll fight you on that one. No, because burgers are street meat. They were brought here by the French to sell on the streets of New York. All right. Thanks for the shout out, Cam. We're going to keep trying to eat tacos sideways without spilling them all over my lap if I can. Dominate the taco. Thank you to our partner, Roca. Hey, now.

Before we hand out some stamps, we'd like to give a big shout out to our partners, DraftKings PickSix. Woo! Woo-hoo! Yeah! We're nearing the end of the regular season and every time we get a new video, we're nearing the end of the regular season and every time we get a new video, we're nearing. Panthers. They don't win this game. They very well could be left out of the dance wild. Yeah. The other thing too, is just, again, I relate everything back to being a jets fan. 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. Just be a well-functioning organization. Just get you a good coach and draft a 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 and like division opponents on a short week is pretty wild to me, but I'm going to watch the Niners Colts. I'm going to watch whatever Phillip 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 for my boy. He did. Right. He's like Seahawks. Niners are not the best defense up there. They're not bad. They're okay. Jason Kelsey with some takes there. There was also that rumor that had the Niners beaten the Eagles the year that Brock Purdy's arm, like got hurt in the NFC championship that Shanahan was going to call Phillip Rivers to have him play the Superbowl. Wow. I want to see like Shanahan's mind against Rivers mind. That'll be a fun matchup. Ooh. Well, well done boys. There you go. Definitely Ram Seahawks Packers bears. Yeah. None of these other games are that intriguing to me. 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. Jags Broncos could have some juice. Cause that's, I mean, I still just question the Broncos and I want to see if the Jags are it, if they're going to do 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, Ram Seahawks, very much interested in watching that on a Thursday, Packers, bears, bucks, Panthers. It matters. I'm so I'm such a huge fan of Baker and Todd Bowles, 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 a. Outstanding loaded week. Great weekend of football. All right.

Oh, yeah. You just let your belly hang on them. That's a good feeling because you can't hold them down. Once you're on top of them, you just got to keep your weight. That's how you avoid a holding penalty to you. Cause if you hold them down, it's a flag. This is nothing. This is just body weight. Falling on himself. On itself. You're on. Dog is hilarious. I'm going to give it to Dion Dawkins for the heads up move. I love this. God. Well done, Dion. Well done. Shut up. The Dion man. Just pause it right there. He literally spun on him, dude.
