We were in Detroit and I heard that U2 was in town. And I go into this restroom to take a pee and I'm standing at the urinal and here comes Jack. Right after me, he comes in and he's standing next to me at the urinal. I'm standing here with my dick in my hand and Jack Nicholson is standing right next. He's next to me with his dick in it. It's just like, you're like, what is happening in my life? And then he's trying to focus, you know, like, don't get a shy wiener all of a sudden. I finally relax enough to start peeing and he's like, you like U2? And I was like. And we're still peeing. And I was like, oh yeah, oh yeah, I love him, I love him. He's like, want to go see him? And I was like, yeah, sure, Jack. And he's like, they're pals of mine. You're in. And then we finished. We finished peeing, we washed our hands. And then I went to see U2 with Jack Nicholson in Detroit. Let's go. There's like four more stories from that night, but that was one of the first times I was like, what is happening right now? Like, they're pals of mine. You're in. It sounds like you're in, but that's not what he was saying. Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls, a wonder show brought to you by Reese's. Your favorite little chocolate peanut butter cups. Doggone. We're your hosts. I'm Travis Kelsey. This is my brother, Jason Kelsey out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Shout out to the Heights. Shout out to the Bearcats. Subscribe on YouTube, wherever you get your podcasts. And follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with one S. Jason, tell the people what we have coming up on this special episode of New Heights. We got another great episode, as we always do. The Chiefs are going to be back in the win column this week. I don't know if you can see that one. Very formidable against the Jets. They somehow found a way to get victory. We also had a sumo fight at the New Heights tailgate. We got about an hour and a half left of the trade deadline. It'll be a little touch and go to see what happens here. Don't know if there's going to be a quarterback move while we're in Minnesota. That'd be kind of crazy. Needless to say, how he has been moving. We're going to get to it later. We've got two incredible guests that you're not going to want to miss. One, well, we got one incredible guest, one friend of ours. Bo Allen is returning. He's going to be on the show to talk a little ball. And we also have John C. Reilly. D-great. John C. Reilly. That's right. He's going to talk about his new movie, Step Brothers, Clowns, and, of course, peeing with Jack Nicholson. Let's get to a little bit of that new news. New news. Come on. New news reactions from the Neil deGrasse Tyson episode, Best Guest Ever. Please have him back for No Dumb Questions. Oh, my God. We need him back. I mean, honestly, he could be our senior correspondent. No Dumb Questions. No Dumb Questions. I mean, if he's willing to. If he's willing to waste his time talking to us again, yes. Making good points in a pointless conversation. That was the best shit ever, man. Topologically, it's one hole. Well, listen, I don't think about topologically. Neil. Don't try and, what do you call it, challenge him now while he's not here. I know. I didn't have the heart to challenge him on the episode. I chickened out. I chickened out. I chickened out. All right, Tiffany Donovan. Travis, just nodding like he's insane. Second period science class, first row, and is praying not to get called on. Nice. Nice. Tiffany, you weren't there. I was actually really good in science. Were you good in science? Was that one of your stronger subjects? Jason, I just couldn't read. Everything else, I was good. So, what sciences did you take at Cleveland Heights? Well, one of my favorites was nature studies. Shout out to Mr. Thaxton. Shout out to Mr. Thaxton. That was not an AP course, I don't believe. That was not it. I don't think that I had an AP level. It was just an elective. Fucking asshole. And sorry, I like nature, Jason. Sorry, I like taking walks around Cleveland Heights. It is fun. You know what? It's a great point. Learning about the trees and the bees and the birds. It's a great point that nature studies in some ways is more applicable probably for most people, but in some ways it seemed like the fuck around class. It was like biology too or like physics or something like that. Yeah. But it's probably way more important that people know nature studies than any of the other stuff. Yeah. Well, you do know what power equals though? Power? Power. What's power equal? I have no idea. I thought you, mass times acceleration. Anyways. That's power? Wait, no. You said mass times acceleration isn't power. Is it velocity? Power equals mass times acceleration. But I used to think that was force equals mass times acceleration, but I'm pretty sure. Dude, it's definitely force. Is it force? Yeah. Dude, I thought it was force. I ran into my teacher and he said- F equals MA. Take that, Tiffany Donovan. I just keep going back to power somehow. I keep fucking mind fucking myself that it's power. Because all you want to do, you're a sinner. You want to run power. That's right. You want to get the old eye and fucking just knife. It's the A-gap. Go ahead, Jason. All right. From Jenna.RabidThrashPanda. Okay. Man, these fucking names are- The human digestive tract is also one very long hole. Listen, I don't think your mouth and your butt are the same hole. I'm just going to go- This is my greatest argument. I wish I would have brought this up with Neil, is that your mouth- In Neil's view of what a hole is, your mouth and your ass are the same hole. I think there's a clear distinction between your mouth and your butt. And your ass. Add G-F-D-H-J-V-C-G. That's just somebody just didn't give a fuck and let the computer pick their- Yeah, this is a bot. So the bot said- So humans only have one hole. We are straws. I don't think that's what Neil was saying, but- Well, topologically, that is what Neil said. I don't even- I haven't looked at what topologically means. So I'm just going to act like you're wrong. Right. That is a value 92%, apparently. Brandon is clearing the- Clearing the air on that bot. Clearing the air on that bot name. Nice, so we got bots. All right, cool. We did get an interesting counterpoint on the Nick Saban episode to Nick's reluctance to expand the playoffs. The counterpoint is there aren't 64 teams that can win March Madness either. Yeah, but the wear and tear on football games is a little different than the wear and tear on basketball games. And the magic of- The magic of 64 teams, I mean- There are far more Cinderella stories in March Madness than there's going to be in the college playoffs this year. The college football playoffs going to 24 teams is taking away all of the meaningful parts of conference football, which used to be really important, and now it's just like, I don't know. A record. They're not even doing conference championships anymore. It's going to be completely- Completely erased. I'm just not a fan of erasing what the Big Ten and the SEC are and the importance of winning those to have a chance at competing for a national championship or a BCS game. I guess they're not called that anymore, but one of the bigger postseason bowls. They did a poll, ESPN, I guess. They said we- They did a poll. Everybody pretty much and their mother said they are not in favor of going to 24 teams. And then they just- They said, yep, we hear you and here's the 2014 playoff. Yep. yeah and i bet you we all watch it so there you go you can check out the convos that uh nick saban and neil degrasse tyson were having on our uh on this show last week uh those are on the youtube page so if you're interested in hearing what a astrophysicist and a best college football coach of all time uh wanted to discuss with us you can go check those episodes out uh in the youtube sphere all right let's get bo allen in here what do you think trev let's get bo allen in here to talk some week nine football i guess nason is actually with bo i'm gonna go ahead and do the intro here making his return to new heights the 6-3 nose tackle from wisconsin those cheese curds he could put him down that big old son of a buck the king of the squat tober the minnetonka madman 92 percenters please welcome back super bowl champion bo honey bo bo allen that was a great that was great king of squat tober how do you feel about that i think it's very accurate but you lifted almost 100 pounds more than you see that ass of course he's better looking it's smarter and funnier let's go pump the brakes all right uh so chiefs let's get to the cheese game bo thank you for joining the show butter king is your house thank you yeah um trav uh i'm sorry that you're third wheel in this it's always awkward when you're the one person outside of the room i feel like how do you feel right now i feel happy i feel like i'm right there with you guys okay you're right here right in between us picture yourself right here i feel like i'm right here right in between us picture yourself right here i feel like i'm right there with you guys okay you're right here right in between us picture yourself right here yeah yeah all right trav do you want to talk some chiefs yeah would love to just uh just got off the losing train and i'm on the winning train baby let's go that's right baby chiefs 35 jets 12 beat the juggernauts that are the new york jets thoughts on the game you're a sick son of a bitch uh yeah no it was uh it was a good one we put one together uh obviously second half a lot more a lot better than the first um kind of kicked ourselves in the foot there with turnover on the first drive and from there um just kind of had to settle in make some plays and uh and defense was outstanding the entire game so uh finally put it together there in the second half uh playing good football in all three phases and uh got back to cheese cheese ball baby yes you did it was actually your 200th game well how did that damn yeah man 200 fucking games a lot of games i felt good and i go hi man i think i think you look good when you're running you look like you still got it yeah yeah was this a get right game for the chiefs it was a game that we knew we needed to win i don't know it was it was a football game you know every single week you go into it with the same mentality uh to dominate for four quarters and uh it didn't happen for four quarters which we can always improve on but um we did dominate there towards the end i thought and got our got our swagger back in a way to to feel confident feel good about who we are and what we're doing did you at all uh think about jets jake's misery while you were uh stomping on the jets uh defense was the misery fueling you in a way in a way it was not i um i honestly i thought i thought jake was like one time during the game no it didn't um which i love jake i love i love i love you jake uh didn't think about you one time um i was thinking more about what my opponents were doing and how i could you know beat them uh but i will say this jake was in philly he chose he chose to go to the new heights tailgate instead of coming to the chiefs jets game um so hopefully he wasn't as miserable as he would have been if he was in kansas city yeah i don't think he chose to go to philly he was contractually obligated because the new heights tailgate in philadelphia paternity leave is over you're right all right i was going to go up to the sweet attendant and tell her to put the chiefs game on but jake had already beat her and asked her to go to the new heights tailgate if they could put the jets game on is what she said to me she said yeah your friend already said that he wanted to put the jets game on don't know how you feel about that i mean i would ask him how he felt about watching the jets game i'm not here i'm not here to take shots at anybody man i know the jets have uh been on the the butt end of the joke for a while man they they got some ball players over there i'll give them that and um there were there were definitely some young cats that that showed up and and played hard and i mean it was just uh patty mahomes and k9 getting getting it right and getting that run game going it just makes this offense click a lot more man listen jets fans just wait till we get the eagle section we're gonna get some retribution on my end uh yeah you just mentioned it mahomes kenneth walker mahomes 242 yards two touchdowns walker 102 yards one rushing touchdown two receiving touchdowns travis kelsey 74 yards are you upset that they counted that as a as a rushing touchdown that doesn't matter to you do you wish that's a receiving touchdown how many touchdowns do you have on shovel passes and things like that that actually should be receiving i've never thought about this he scored one on us man in 2017 that fucking that was like took flight from like the nine yard line it was it was the five let's not overdo it it was still very impressive dude i was like what the fuck is going on it was like space jam i was like it was it was exciting taking out 23 years of being the younger brother yeah in one moment exploded through his legs that's exactly what happened actually have you ever thought about that how many touchdowns do you have that are actually being counted as rushing touchdowns i'm not sure i know i've scored on that play specifically three or four times so but i'm not sure what they've they've counted it in the past well not just that play but i'm also talking about like how many shovel screen touchdowns you have because those are those are passes oh those are passes i'm an idiot jason those are all all right i have a few rushing touchdowns just from like being the wildcat but yeah three three rushing touchdowns three rushing nice nice okay so not that many all right well we've got the broad stats travis kelsey became the oldest tight end to score a rushing touchdown in nfl history hell yeah and by history we mean dating back to 1999 which is not the history of the nfl i think that's maybe as long as they've been they could find evidence of this what is what do you yeah what is this i don't know if tight ends played until they were 37 before 1999 sure they did ozzy newsome how long did he play he did he played a while he played a long time didn't he yeah well tasem hill also interesting he's being called a tight end 35 years and 50 days scored a touchdown uh i don't know yeah that is a lebron set pretty cool though i feel like it's more than a lebron stat that's a legit stat the oldest person i think it's a little buns yeah it's a it's a buns what do you mean the oldest person still to score a touchdown that's pretty dope yeah it's like rushing touchdown i feel like that's harder for it he's the oldest one still doing it like it's not like a great if you look at it from the other way it's like he's still fucking playing what no it's more like he's still fucking doing it not like he's still doing it you're doing it peter you're really doing it you're doing it another lebron stat management home to travis kelsey officially broke the nfl record this is not a lebron stat this is a legit stat officially broke the nfl record for most passing receiving yards by a quarterback tight end duo yeah this one's guys passed rivers gates at 9 352 yards that's awesome very cool and i've seen that connection uh for many years my earlier years but i've seen that connection for a long time and that's a pretty cool one to be a part of and to to be in the same conversations as rivers and gates man that's uh that's that's quite the honor right there well we also have uh some highlights here we're gonna uh show the screen to k9 touchdown uh in particular we're gonna highlight fresh legs out there running clean oh secures up the sidewalk shoot get off the tracks let's go seven six kind of running like a d-line in there not green with a gray block or a gray block it really was all that's what i love a good timed up screen top of the numbers of the landmarks you're blocking for the top of the numbers you know where the running back's going to be hitting it you get out flat so you're not downfield and then you hit it a thousand miles an hour and whoever gets in the way you just fuck them up bow trey smith bow kc this shit was electric man all right we have another clip do you think when you see a screen are you do you get uh well from a defensive lineman's perspective well as a nose guard you know whenever i get a screen as a white nose guard i'm immediately immediately i know that it's a screen i'm a screen killer baby anytime they don't block me when i have a clean pass rush win i'm like in the back i'm like this guy actually had a clean win one time and i thought it was a screen i started retracing my coach what the fuck are you doing i thought it was a screen coach i know my role i never win that clean yeah i never won that clean before that's so good all right let's uh let's see uh what did you think watching the replay of pat mahomes arm nearly getting ripped off his shoulder yeah this was uh terrifying it was even the way he like got hit and like fell and like it was like the elbow was just like what everyone like everyone saw him holding i didn't know what the hell was actually hurting him just from the hit i was like man this guy just got fucking lit up jayla morgan's beat And, oh, attack the throwing arm. They teach that for all of you watching. You don't just go to get a sack on the quarterback bow. What is the exact teaching point here? Yeah, just try to get the ball out of the throwing arm, Kels. It's not that complicated, buddy. But, I mean. Very technical. Yeah, really. We do a lot of nuance or D-line coaching. I'm sure you can appreciate. But, like, these days you never, you just got to get the ball out before the arm starts moving forward or else they will rule it an incomplete pass, which always sucks. Yeah. And the thing is, he was getting ready to fucking rip that thing 70 yards downfield. Yeah. So, he's putting a lot of torque. You see his hips, like, turning. There is a lot of force into that moment right there where the ball is at. So, and we got, obviously, you don't see it in this clip, but he gets up holding his arm, like Travis is saying. Clearly, I thought he was out. I thought he tore his UCL almost immediately. Like, I was like, this is not good. And, lo and behold, he's in the next drive. Pat's ligaments, I think, are just built different. Like, I brought this up on Monday night, yesterday. There's this injury, which he comes back the next series, throwing the ball, not any pain. He dislocated his kneecap one game, and he's back the next week. He has ACL, LCO. Everybody thinks there's no way he's back for the first game of the season. Back, first drive, rushing touchdown. And then we play you guys at a Super Bowl, and everybody's telling us he's got a high ankle sprain, and he fucking is running around like there's not a goddamn thing wrong with him. I'll say this. I'll say this. One of his trainers in the offseason, Bobby Stroop, they do a lot of mobility stuff. They do a lot of flexibility, mobility, strengthening, stabilizing, stuff like that. I've actually trained with him myself and have done some of the stuff that he's doing. And it's everything from the intrinsics in the feet through the ankles and knees and hips. I mean, there's not a joint that he's not making sure he focuses on throughout the training process over the offseason. And so shout out to Bobby and everything he's doing. And shout out to Pat for, you know, one, being a fucking warrior and always, you know, anytime, anytime it's even a question, he's out. You know what I mean? Like if he could play him at 50 percent is still top in the league. You know, it's just it's just who he is. So shout out to Pat for having the toughness and the cojones and shout out to his training regime, man. Couldn't have said it any better. Bo. We do have a question for you. There was a soundbite out of Chris Jones the past two weeks. There's been a couple of soundbites like to read them for you and then get your reaction. Chris Jones is two sacks, including his first full sack of the season this past week. That's right. Last week, he was asked about only having a half a sack. And he said, I don't play for stats. I mean, sacks are huge. Can't say nothing. But I don't play for stats. I play for letters, W's and L's. Mostly, I think he's talking about W's. Most important thing is winning. That's the most important thing. Then he got a sack this week. And he said, listen, I know last week I said that sacks don't matter. I lied. You know, I have one point five career sacks. So let me tell you, Cal, sacks aren't everything, right? It's about the wins. No, that's such a classic D-line response. I mean, listen, at the end of the day, it is about getting wins. You can get pressures and have a lot of impact on the game as an interior defensive lineman without actually getting the sack. You know, at least that's what I tell myself. I can't sleep at night. But like a sack kind of is a team stat in a way. It's like a defensive team stat in a way. You know, you need to have your DBS need to be. Yeah, unless you win like right away and the guy doesn't have time. Most sacks come down to good coverage. The quarterback holding the ball and then you're winning. Yeah, there's a holistic defensive play, you know, but like, you know, Chris Jones impact on the field is much greater than, you know, just a couple, you know, sacks or whatever he's got. Like he's a dog, man. He's getting pressure. Unbelievable. He's being a leader on the field. You know, he's doing everything the right way. He's playing physically. So like, I'm kind of the camp of, you know, sacks aren't everything. It's all about the wins, getting the win, whatever you need to do to get the team to win. But getting the sack feels really fucking good. Is there anything better for a D-line than getting a sack? Yeah, getting a pick six, baby. Jesus. Did you ever get that? No. I was like, whoa, you're talking about what? You know the feeling? Right. I can imagine. Yes, I put myself there. I think about it a lot. You're underplaying this, though, a little bit in the room. Like, I don't know. I do know that you guys are infatuated with sacks. Yeah. And part of that is also the way the contract's restructured, right? Like, there's so much incentive built into the way defensive linemen are paid. But yeah. Yeah, I mean, especially, you know, a top-end player like Chris Jones. He has an incredible, I mean, you know better than anybody, Trav. He has an unbelievable expectation of himself that he's earned. He wants to be the one to get all those sack numbers and stuff. But I truly believe that. I mean, I agree with the first part of this. Yeah. I think. We all agree with the first part. But it is. And he even agrees with the first part. But he's taking out the fact that sacks don't matter and he doesn't care about them, obviously. Yeah. Getting the quarterback with the ball in his hands behind the line of scrimmage is a huge part of this game. If you're making the offense go backwards instead of forwards, it's big. But on top of everything else that we just mentioned in terms of the incentives and the contract stuff and how the league looks at defensive linemen in terms of their greatness, and what sacks do to the view of that, I think it's always about wins. Right. And Chris knows that. And when he's asked the question of, you know, why you only have 1.5 sacks, he's like, listen, as long as we're winning, I'm happy. It's like, yeah, sweet. But also, if I'm getting sacks and we're winning, I'm really happy. It's even happier. Yes. I mean, that's the home run. I'm joking. Sacks come in bunches, too. It's just such a weird thing, man. Once you're kind of in a lull. Yeah. You get one, like, you're kind of rolling again. You know, like, huge confidence booster, man. Yeah. You're going to keep getting them. Well, Trav, that's all we got for Chiefs. I don't know if you have anything else you want to touch on, but we do have next week. You guys head to Atlanta, the ATL, to take on the Falcons. They're coming off a 34-17 loss to the Bengals in Madrid. What are you expecting? Atlanta's sneaky, man. They've looked really good at times, and other times they've kind of been a little. Yeah. Go ahead. They were sneaky in the beginning of the year because they, you know. They struggled a little bit. Yeah. At that end, it's like the shocking, you know, wins that they had. I won't even say shocking, but the wins that they had that they technically, you know, weren't, like, picked to win or they weren't favored in, like, it's out there now. You know? So, we know that they have the ability to win games. With anybody. So, exactly. With anybody. They beat the 49ers. That's one of the best teams in the league right now when they're firing on all cylinders. So, I think, you know, the film doesn't lie. We got to go and attack our, you know, our weaknesses and, you know, get the game plan tightened up and make sure that we're firing on all cylinders so we give ourselves the best chance. But, obviously, you know, the confidence is in the building. You know, if we play at our best level, you know, we give ourselves a chance to go out there and dominate. I mean, dude, I'm looking forward to this one, though. I mean, I'm looking forward to watching you as I do every week. I'm going to see two of the best running backs in the NFL go toe-to-toe. Touche. The Chiefs are acquiring wide receiver Josh Downs. Did you know this? I did. This is just happening? This just happened, yep. Dude, I… This just happened. Got another wide receiver, another weapon in the building. Got some more arsenal for Andy Reid to go out there and use. And it's going to be so much fun getting another guy in the building, man. I, like, really wanted the Chiefs to kind of get a vertical threat because it feels like that's what you guys need the most. But I… We covered Indy. I called one of their games overseas. Josh has been playing outside. He's outstanding this year. Like, his ability to get open to man coverage, his ability to separate. He's open constantly. He's really been their main man coverage guy that they've leaned on. Been a really good receiver this year for Indianapolis. I think this is awesome. Obviously, everybody's talked about this is a big piece you guys have been looking for offensively to help take the offense to the next level. I'm a huge fan of this move. Listen, the guy is one… Like, the biggest thing you said, man-to-man coverage, that's going to come up more than you think. When things get tight in the NFL, man coverage is what defensive coordinators go to. And when you got a guy that you can trust in those kind of situations, and on top of that, you know, I feel like in the middle of the field, he feels the zone coverages and what defensive voids. He's very good in all of that. And, you know, just to get another fast guy, another focal point for the D.C. defense to have to worry about in terms of run game and having to relate the right way and things like that. It's just… It's going to… It's going to… It 100% made our offense better. And I can't wait to get him in the building and get him acclimated to the Chiefs' offense. And man coverage in particular, some of you guys are going to see more and more because of the way you guys are running the ball. They're going to start stacking the box. They're going to try and take K-9 out of the situation. So, to have a guy like this on the perimeter that makes them make a decision and be honest a little bit more with the offense holistically is huge. Josh, we got a little reaction tweet, it looks like. You want to open that up? Well, we know he had… He requested a trade, I believe. I think that's what the… He's like, give me the fuck up out of here. Oh, you don't say. He didn't want to be an Indy. Oh, my gosh. That's… That is hilarious. That's… What is this video of Vince Carter? It's an epic, like… to get the The meme is hilarious, or the gif is hilarious. Yes. That's how the Vikings' defense was feeling when Kirk Cousins' trade went through. I feel like a lot of teams are feeling this way today. It's a lot of people. All righty, thank you to our partner, Reese's. Real question, when a guy subs himself out for a water break, is it really a water break? What else? I'm confused. What else would it be? A Reese's break. You're gassed, you hit the sidelines, someone hands you a cup of water, and Reese's. Okay, which one are you reaching for first? I mean, that peanut butter chocolate delight, that Reese's peanut butter cup every time. That's what I'm saying. Pay close attention this season, and you may realize everything happens for a Reese's. All righty, thank you to our partner, Royal Caribbean. Football season is in full swing. Time to lock in that off-season vacation.

We were made for this. Let's talk about the less fun game to talk about this week, Trav. All right, the Eagles 11, Giants 19. Division rivalry, you guys. You guys are struggling right now in Philly. And do we want to get out of the house first, or do we want? Oh, you want to talk about the tailgate first? Yeah, let's talk about the tailgate before we get to the game. Nice. All right, out of the house is brought to you by Stouffer's. Gotta love those TV dinners. How was the Philly tailgate, Jason? It was the best tailgate we've done from like a New Heights perspective. And a part of it is, so stateside live there is the perfect setup for it. You can get a ton of people in that area. Everybody's excited for the game. There's a stage. Well, the stage is the big thing. What we've struggled with a little bit. A little bit in KC and doing it in Philly last year is it's hard to do some type of event whenever you can't like see what's happening, right? Like we did belly bucking last year, but because there's not a, there's not bleachers or you're not up on a stage, it's hard for everybody to see it for that to optically make sense. The stage made a huge impact. Brandon and Jake did a great job. And Neil, the whole team did a great job of finding the sumo suits. Same sumo wrestling match. We had a ladies division and a men's division. We can only find two women willing to sumo wrestle. Oh, boo. We got to get the ladies more involved. That's right. So we had a female champion. We had four guys agree to do sumo wrestling. One of them being a 15 year old that I found out on stage. Apparently our team did not do their homework. They did not know. How big of a boy are you? He's not a very big boy. He was very obviously under 18. That's the first question I asked. But nobody else. Beard to care. I had to get permission from their guardian while we were on stage. You got to sign the flyer for this to go on the field trip, Bob. We also had some fat guys. Well, we had we had hobby horsing. We had one fat guy on a hobby horse and another woman in an eagle suit. Becca. Becca, I believe. Yes, we had hobby horsing, sumo wrestling. I didn't we didn't tell anybody that there were playing for anything. So, Trav, we do have some bad news. We did tell everybody that you agreed to give the winners $5,000 of each of these divisions. So, you owe three people $15,000 in the state of Philadelphia, which we aren't 100% sure whether that's legal by the gambling and the Games Commission of Pennsylvania. We're not entirely sure what the you might have a warrant out for your arrest after the summer will come out. I guess is what I'm trying to say. Well, looks like I'm hitting up old Uncle Dom here. I got you, baby. Oh, yeah, I shouldn't have stopped this as early as I did. I should have just kept letting him go. I'm going to tell you to go, but you got to put your knuckles on the ground. That's the rules, guys. All right. You're coming in hot. All right. Three, two, one. Go. Oh, oh, oh. Jake almost got him. Brandon is the winner. Dude, Jake almost fucking slung him. Hey, go ahead. There was some electric sumo wrestling. Fat Brandon. Not Fat Bastard, it's Fat Brandon. The woman who won this woman's sumo wrestling hip-tossed the other woman. Three, go. Oh, good hands. This was a great match. Good hands. She stuck those hands in there. Aaron, you got to get back. Jesus. Aaron, fall into the fight for the ages. They're right neck and neck. They're neck and neck. Janice is back. Oh. Are you serious? He held the throw by hand. That was a good bout. That was a good bout right there. So, yeah, we had a lot of the hobby horsing. Do we want to show the hobby horsing? Because that was, it was impeccable style points. I don't think the course was really set up to this. , I don't know. Just. Yeah. That's bird gang beast right there. My fucking goodness. Nice galloping. This is what's going on at New Heights tailgate. this is for five thousand dollars he was uh the losing competitor but bird game beast did give a as good of a performance as he could he was also in our belly button competition last season why is it in slow motion it looks because it's so much more majestic in slow motion there's really no rhyme or reason of what's happening with his feet i was about to say what is the technique all right can we see let's see becca let's see becca hey the heel kick this is this is an art the crowd went fucking nuts , I don't know. Oh, man, Jake, I can't believe you did that in high school, Jake. It was a lot of fun. If we can recreate this in other areas, I do think the stage is really important. The problem is most tailgates don't have a stage. So it's, I don't know how we're going to do it. But yeah, anyways, maybe build our own. Let's build up with, I guess, Rock Nation or one of those people. If you build it, they will come. Do you know anybody that knows things about stages? Yeah, I actually do. And the people that. Put us in contact with somebody. Yeah, no, I'll see what my wife can cook up. But also, I know. The companies I deal with are not going to fuck around with you dumb fucks. And obviously, we saw the championship match for the females division. The males division, not as ferocious of a fight, but a heck of a strategy. Let's take a look at the championship match for the men's division. One, two, three, go! Stop it. Quick swim. Stop it. I know, I know. Hold the chair. Wow. Dan, we asked him what he did for a living. He said he grades exams. I said, are you a professor? He said, no, it's complicated. Didn't get a lot of information from him. He was, for some reason, mysterious about it. Clearly a very smart individual, though. He was able to upset No Shirt Dom, one of the legendary Philadelphia Eagles super fans. What? Damn it, they won $5,000. Jason, when you were talking with the sumo wrestlers down in Houston, is pulling the chair a coward move? It is not. I mean, I think it is to a degree, but at the end of the day, when you're at the higher levels, I think it's all about whatever you got to do to win. I do think that it's kind of like, hey, it's looked less upon, but if you're savvy with it and you're smart enough to pull it off, I think it does. At this point, it's pretty acceptable. Maybe not that degree of it. There's a guy that I really, I mean, I brought him out last time. We talked about sumo, Shintaro Takanoyama or something like that. that i can't remember his full name smaller guy used to be a judo champion dude there's a move that he did or if you slow it down he steps with his left then pivots and kicks the foot of the other player causing them to trip it's like the level of precision and timing in the cojones to just do that in the middle of the ring i'm like dude you got a 500 pounder coming at you yeah exactly yeah bo when you uh when you're making your uh sumo wrestling debut i'm ready dude i feel like i've been training this my whole life i mean i was let's get you in the ring dude i got a lot to learn i mean i don't know if i i don't think i'd do the okie doke i don't know if that's necessarily my style but i was i'd sumo his ass like we got plenty of space we could do a little exhibition match after the after the pod you know who'd be a good sumo wrestler who trav dude i'm telling you he is fucking slippery i'm telling you do not let him sleep you last time we wrestled he beat the fuck out of me in the locker room in cincinnati he's fucking he's like the fact that you even brought that he's kind of like pat mahomes and like he's like gumbiness is like ligaments move in ways yeah i'm too stiff i'm too stiff exploit those zone coverages with the that's right the defenders you know he's got his back to the defenders his hips all over the place you guys just whiffing making trying to make tackles i believe that i was in sixth grade and after school i would have to i was the the wrestling manager i was the pitcher my dad was like listen i'm not picking you up one time and then come and pick jason up you're gonna do what jason's doing sixth grade you couldn't play on any of the middle school teams nor was i nor was i probably eligible for it anyways but he uh he made me the manager so i kept score on game days but i also cleaned the mats and uh and my dad told the coach if you ever needed someone to step in for practice travis is willing to do that i didn't sign up for that what and just be yeah be a good dad but he um i remember one day i was in fucking just sweats everybody else is in there like wrestling gear and shit and i'm like in sweats and here i am fucking in the middle of wrestling practice on all fours like how the fuck did i get i found my way out of that shit gotta be one with the ground man gotta be one with the ground well uh if we do a tailgate at chiefs or he goes away games where should we go trav what do you think at an away game um i mean buffalo thanksgiving buffalo oh my gosh dude that is an outstanding place you would go fucking they would i think they would thrive in that situation it's not on the list for this year but i lambo is awesome i don't know if it's going to be a big deal i don't know if it's going to be a big deal another one you got all the houses there and i believe there is like some like stage situation somewhere they did a bunch of like uh backyard wrestling i forget what it's called it's called like the lambo village or something like that i don't know anyways there's a like a whole thing that they built up around the stadium rams would always be an easy one i just buffalo does feel like the right answer that's yeah since he go back home since he would fucking thrive in that as well that environment maybe just any place that's warm i'll go to arizona when do you guys play arizona is it late i mean cleveland is another one i think yeah cleveland be awesome we'll do one in cleveland shout out to everybody that showed up to the uh new heights tailgate out there in philly looked electric um but now we got to get into the actual game and out of the house is brought to you by stouffer's thoughts from the game initially my first thought i love the kelly greens so that's my first keeping the positivity train on a high note love the kelly greens i never wear them kelsey i'm jealous every time i see him the green with the gray or the silver whatever you want to call it is so fucking clean i don't know why everybody is not wearing retro jerseys i hate all of the new jerseys anything that was instituted after the year 2000 just go back to everything from the 90s 80s and 90s it should be the nfl wanted to sell more jerseys they would just make everything go back to that and it would look way cooler you guys never changed i feel like the kansas city jerseys feel like they've been the same i mean maybe they've changed a little bit they haven't at all they've been the exact same jersey since the 60s the same thing with the browns what do we what do we change it for let's fucking i i just like the browns change their jerseys did they what do they change they wear like all brown and all like orange like they definitely change yeah but those are the colorway games i'm talking about the actual like standard jersey which is like the white pants with the okay you're you're you're kind of on board with alternates but in terms of like your main jerseys you want it to be the classic look of the nfl jerseys i don't like like what the rams wear i think it's terrible what detroit like the detroit lions jerseys are atrocious but aren't the rams the original jerseys no is it what is it i don't know but it's not the originals i'm talking about like the old highlighters the highlighter rams i'm talking about what fucking kurt warner went super bowls with that's what i'm talking about yeah well that wasn't the original rams it's a good point i'm talking about 90s i'm talking about 90s football i'm talking about 90s football was in the 2000s he was in the late 90s too wasn't it what year was that was oh one it might have been 2000 god damn it you might be on to something i think that that jersey way was in the rams in the 90s that's all i'm saying oh okay all right all right you got it 2000 2002 yeah and 2009 yeah kurt warner super bowls yeah that's the era of football 90s to 2000s i feel it's prime nfl football jerseys right in my childhood the way most people probably think about the best jerseys of every nfl team i cannot watch i love the detroit lions i love dan campbell i fucking hate their jerseys with a passion what's different they fucking look stupid travis i don't know what you want me to tell you they don't look which jersey i don't know it's like the electric blue even though it's like black like none of them look good i like the black no it all is done oh i see the freaking barry sanders jerseys that's all i want to see detroit i don't want to see this i think that's their original jerseys detroit yeah i think that's not where they they are wearing all sorts of dumb shit you see the jags jerseys a couple weeks ago what you're saying is you're not against alt jerseys you just want the original jerseys as their main jerseys i think the lions still have their original jerseys that's like r kelly green is that r kelly green in my opinion should be the main jersey of the fight i got you i hear what you're saying that's what i'm saying midnight green was instituted in the 90s when jeffrey lurie uh bought the team jeffrey would not be happy that i'm saying this but i do like midnight green was better when it was reebok owned there was a sheen and a shininess to it now that the nike jerseys are stretchy and it's not the same material the midnight green doesn't look anywhere near as cool kelsey doesn't want to talk about the eagles so bad that he's going on a 20-minute rant about jersey colors from the seven straight loss from the eagles the losing streak is the longest since this year 2012 i was on that team i did have a torn acl so i did not get the full experience debut of bazooka joe milton everybody's been talking about the canon guys built like uncle rico and michael vick combined uh completed 18 of 34 for 169 he was sacked seven times for negative 41 yards including maybe the most vicious sack i've seen this season arbel reese the arbel reset was did you see the arbel reset no but now i do please show me show me you're gonna want to see this this is i want to see football this is extremely vicious if you have a queasy stomach i would turn your head oh my god i'm so excited i'm pumping it up probably a little bit more than it should be oh fuck oh more importantly than that sack this team got the win too this is actually a really good blitz denard wilson the defense coordinator for the giants used to be in philadelphia with us and jonathan gannon he was dialing them up uh and obviously the eagles have struggled with blitz protection all season some of it has been on the offensive line i know chris cooper and the offensive line has been under a lot of scrutiny some of it has been on the quarterback and pointing it properly or getting the ball out and obviously the running backs are involved as well it's really been something that they haven't gotten right uh early on in the season they had a lot of guys in and out of the lineup willing to kind of say hey there's a lot of communication that happens it's expected that when you have that many lineup changes that there's going to be things going on um so all of these things in and out make it hard they should still be doing better than they are and it obviously led to one of the most vicious sacks of the year and people now comparing arville reese to lawrence taylor which is a bit aggressive great hit nobody fucking blocked them uh at least lt was beating people all right here we go what are we on to now you did have time he had a couple sacks in like 10 tackles so yeah he did ball yeah um well on monday you guys traded away jordan davis the first round draft pick that you guys had um is now a jacksonville jaguar for a 2027 first round pick in the 2029 second round pick jacksonville going all in on this year uh obviously i think three big trades uh the safety that was actually with the falcons um last week is now over there baits um and the d tackle for the saints is now also a jaguar There's no way they could pay everybody after this year, right? They're just kind of like going big right now, thinking this is the year, and a couple guys are going to be free agents next year, right? Yeah, Jacksonville, I mean, they're as good as anybody in the AFC. Basial Tootin is a phenomenal running back. Obviously, the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, is playing phenomenal. They really don't have anything that they're needing. They lost their nose guard, Devon Hamilton, last week. They go out and get Jordan Davis, obviously, with this trade. They're in win-now mode, and, I mean, they should be. They can beat anybody. These guys are playing at a phenomenal level. They also have the easiest remaining schedule in the NFL, too, so just trying to capitalize on that a little bit, I think, too. Eagles, also, we're in Howie season mode. Unfortunately, it's not the Howie season we're used to seeing where they're doing what Jacksonville's doing. We are now trying to build assets and kind of, obviously, prep for the future as well as we can, as well as keeping really good players home. Obviously, we lost a really good one. Jordan Davis is a phenomenal player, has been for the Philadelphia Eagles. He's also just a great dude. He's a great guy for the locker room, and I think you saw that, honestly, he's probably excited in some ways to go to Jacksonville, but you saw that he's a little bit disappointed leaving Philadelphia. This is where he's drafted. He meant a lot to the organization and to the team. This is just what happens. This is what happens when you lose seven straight. They got to try and find a way to build assets. They need to re-sign Mauro Jomo. They already have Jalen Carter on the roster. Gives them freedom a little bit to do that. I think the Eagles, I mean, I love Jordan Davis, and it was kind of like seeing that airport video kind of bummed me out a little bit. You could tell he was hurting. I don't know. Also bummed me out that somebody recorded that. Yeah, it's kind of a private moment. But to me, I think most of us are. What the fuck was I saying? Oh, I think, I mean, I love Mauro. I love Mauro Jomo, and I think this kind of indicates that, you know, they're going to try to re-sign him in Philly. He's been really productive. I think he's been the most productive defensive lineman of that kind of stable. Those three guys, yeah. Good, you know, interior defenders in Philly, and I think the writing's on the wall for that there. So curious to see how that ends up. But, like, dude, I just want to give Jordan Davis some love because he was a team captain, man. He's an incredible guy, and I think he's just the improvement that he's shown, you know, to kind of become the player that he is now in Philly and kind of in that scheme with Vic is incredibly impressive. So I wish him a lot of success. I wish him a lot of success in Jacksonville, man. I think he's an unbelievable guy. Well, it showed what they got for him. They got a first-round pick and a second-round pick for a nose guard. Right. That is not – Bro, nose guards are critical. Probably the most important player on the team. D tackles are critical. Yeah. And you see the move and how much, obviously, Simmons is added for Chicago. Yeah. Jordan Davis is not that type of player, but he is a person that is going to command double teams and dominate the interior of the defensive front. So, you know, this is a big move for Jacksonville. Obviously, they're getting a lot of value. The Eagles, in return, are getting more value than you would expect probably for a nose guard. It sucks to be in this moment, right? I mean, the rest of the season is happening. Whenever you start losing games, things like this happen. You lose a great player. You lose a great teammate because you're thinking about what's next. And they had an opportunity to get a lot of value for the guy, so how he's going to take it because it's in the best interest of the team moving forward. Jordan Davis is in a great situation, but this is why losing sucks, man. And hopefully they can start winning some games. Otherwise, there's going to be more pieces moving around. So trade deadline has come and gone as we're recording. For anybody listening in, the Colts have sent Keenan Allen to the Niners. Big fan of that. We saw how much the Niners offense was expanded when Mike Evans went there at the start of this season. Immediately opened up the offense. Keenan Allen is as good as anybody in zone coverage and finding these scenes like very – Yeah. Still got a lot to him as a player. I think that is a really good move for the Niners. Trav, I don't know if you want to talk about Keenan. I know you know Keenan. Listen, Keenan and I came in in the same year, trained with him a little bit down in Florida, coming into the league and a little bit after that. He's one of the – it seems like one of the best teammates of all time. He was one of the best guys to be around in the offseason. And I think his skill set is still unmatched is his ability to identify defense is to be there for the QB and Brock Purdy the way he's playing this year right now to get a weapon like that to be on the same page as him. And seeing through the quarterback is one of the best things that Keenan has done throughout his career with Rivers and being with Danny Dimes this year and obviously with Herbert throughout the years. I think Keenan is a great pull for a very veteran team and a team that could use a savvy vet at the wide opposition right now. Everybody I know that's ever played with him or coached – like Nick Serrani loves Keenan Allen. Yeah. Right? And when we were talking about the Colts this year, Shane Steichen, I mean, raving about him, Daniel Jones, about his intelligence, how he understands coverage, sits in all these zones, really just an all-around will fit what the Niners are doing perfectly, I feel like. Jonathan Taylor staying in Indy. Jesse Bates also sent to the Jags. As we just said, the Jags, I mean, they're stockpiling, baby. They're building. They know if they get this defense right, the offensive summon, they are right up there with anybody to compete in the AFC for the Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Raiders. This is when we were debating it in the truck, and I was like, dude, I feel like the Vikings got to make a move for Kirk. And I think everybody's like, well, the Raiders keep saying he's not for sale. I'm like, I don't know, man. I feel like at some point the Raiders have given up six straight 30-point games. They know it's not going to end the cards for them this year. Why not? They're going to have to move on after the year anyways. And that's exactly what happens. They give a third-round pick to the Vikings. Vikings, obviously, we saw all season how bad they've – struggled with the quarterback position, especially last night. My former teammate, love Carson Wentz. It was a rough game. With the way that defense is playing, I think Kirk Cousins is a huge gift for them. I think it was the perfect one. He understands the system. He knows what he's going into terminology-wise with O'Connell. For me, I think this is the best move of everything done so far to immediately change what a team's prognosis is for the postseason. The Vikings were not going to win a Super Bowl with what they had on offense. Kirk literally, just by being – I don't like calling him a game manager because he can still play really well. No, he's been playing great this year. Absolutely. And I just think that this is going to immediately elevate the Vikings offense to at least being mediocre, which makes them a Super Bowl-contending team with how good their defense is. Like, that's the reality. They just shut out the number one offense. The Buffalo Bills only had success because they had all game to have success. They had like 44 minutes of possession on offense. That was insane. 80 snaps on offense. Offense for the Bills. Yeah. 80 on defense. That score does not tell the story of how that game went. No, I'm with you. Buffalo was struggling mightily in the first half. They had one good drive, really. And then the second half, they finally got cooked going after, like you just said, being on the field for over 40 minutes. The first half, they only scored because of the turnover. They had the one drive right before the end of half, Buffalo, where they were dinking and dunking, and then they ended up getting a broken play and hitting Latu in the back of the end zone. That was the one good drive they had. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It was like right before half. Yeah, yeah. But either way, I really do think they – I would have liked them to make a move for running back too because I don't think they've gotten enough out of the running back position either. But this is by far the biggest thing that they needed to do. And they got it for a third-round pick. I think it's amazing value for Minnesota. This is a no-brainer. Big decision on a team whose super window might be shrinking. I don't know where Brian Flores is going, but it feels like somebody's got to make a move for a guy who's been this dominant at defense for this long. We're going to find out. Finally got to see AD and Myles Garrett on the field at the same time. That was fun to watch. The commanders got beat by the Rams 20-13. Myles Garrett finished with three sacks off of IR and a forced fumble. I mean, he's still the fucking best rusher there is, man. What else is there to say? Like, it's Myles Garrett. He's a dog. He's that dude. I think we just got to get AD a sack now. He doesn't have any on the season. I think this will help by AD out. Yeah. I mean, Myles came out the first week. Obviously, he didn't play great against the Niners, but was clearly dealing with the knee thing. Now that he's back, looks pretty good. Looked pretty good. He's still doing that Euro step cross chop, and, I mean, it's fucking stupid. He's so athletic, man. I wish I could just wake up and beat him. Did you have the Euro step cross chop in your arsenal? Yeah, that was my go-to. Yeah. Circle the underline of my notes every day. Start off with your fastball. Fastball. Because then I could always hit the spin if it wasn't there, you know? Have you ever hit a spin move? Oh, yeah. I've seen him do a spin. Yeah. Nice. Actually, good spin. Good spin on him. A little counter spin at the quarterback depth. Of course. Oh, that's so sick, dude. Let me tell you. Go back. That is a center's nightmare. So, this is what we call. They have five players that are known rushers right now on the field for LA. You have the four guys that are on the line of scrimmage. The D linemen, including Aaron Donald. Myles Garrett. Even though he's off the ball, we consider him a known rusher or a big. So, he is going to be accounted for by the O-line. We being the entire NFL will do this. Yeah. Everybody will never. They'll never consider that 9-5 is actually going to drop into coverage here. So, he's a part of the protection. So, this is when you're a center that you start to shit your pants. Because you know that you have to say 5-0. You can't say lion or ran. You can't slide the protection. You have to say 5-0. And you know. You now have to block this guy. And he has a two-way go. Because he's directly head up over. which you can't even try and push him in a certain direction. And he's got space, too, because he's lining up off the ball. Yeah, and he's faster and better looking and longer arms, all of the above. So, yeah, this is a complete nightmare. Sometimes I would actually slide the protection, even though I wasn't allowed to, and be like, whoops, I didn't know there was a big guy. That's because you were deathly afraid of being one-on-one for once. That's not what I got paid for. I got paid for pulling the block in my back. All right. Can the Rams 5-4 right now, can they make a run in the end? NFC West. I don't know about the NFC West. It does feel like the 49ers are probably going to win that division. They can do it. I don't know that it will happen. I do think they'll get into the playoffs, which, if I'm the Rams, is the main thing. And I think they're going to be playing a lot better at the end of the year than they are playing right now. They do have some injury concerns, too. I mean, Puka just went down, and he's obviously a stud. Yeah, but they'll get Puka and Devontae Adams back at some point. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you've got Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald. hopefully the defense starts really smothering teams and they still have McVay Stafford and a hell of an offensive line and run game. If they want to stick to it. I mean, it works when they, when they want to call it and they stick to the run game, they can move the ball very effectively as an offense. So I know they're out currently. They have, they got off to a terrible start. There's some teams in there. I don't trust giants or I don't trust. Unfortunately going to make it. They're going to make it. I don't trust the Panthers. I do not trust the, I don't trust the Panthers. It is tight. NFC is going to be tough. I mean, the NFC is strange because you have the North, which is strong. You have the West, which is strong. And then you just have the East, which is the strongest South. It's really, really strong. I mean, yeah, the Panthers are, I guess the Panthers are likely going to win the South, but somebody has up until this trade for Kirk, I would have said the Vikings might fall out. I don't think that they will now at this point Packers. Well, no, the Packers aren't weird. The Packers are playing. They're fucking awesome. They were missing like four offensive linemen. So they look like shit for the first half of the season, but they're fucking rolling on offense right now. And then the lions, I mean, I'm not sold on the lions defense. I guess if there's one team, I guess it would be them, but I'm, I still think that they're going to make it. Yeah. The Rams are, let's get the little halfway Heights hotline. This will be a fun one. We officially are halfway through the NFL season. If you've been listening to anything we've been saying, and we asked for your questions, predictions for the rest of the season. And, and FC North prediction. So this might be a more of a prediction, but it can be more bold than you probably think way. The NFC is shaping up with the South. Is it more just saying, Hey, the entire NFC North is going to be in the playoffs this year. I'm going to go with that as my prediction for the season. I'm confused what the prediction is. If he's predicting the entire NFC North is going to be in the playoffs. He's wrong. Are they all in right now? They are all in right now. We did put them in. Um, I don't think that as they play each other, I feel like Seattle will probably sneak back into the picture. I would assume. I mean, I guess they could win the NFC North though. Kelsey, who's going to win the NFC North? Who's going to win? It's gotta be bears. I think that, I mean, yeah, the bears are my favorite team in the NFC right now. They're just, it's a rollercoaster at times. The bears bears in general bias because of the Eagles. I feel like whenever the team has the best O-line and D-line, they win. And I don't think, I think the bears have the best trenches in the NFL right now. No, on the NFC, I'll say I'll stick to NFC because they're just complete on both sides of the bowl, man. Um, quarterback obviously is the one thing. It was like, if Caleb doesn't do what he almost did this week, uh, I don't know that teams are going to be able to beat him very easily. Not as preposterous as I thought about initially, because they are all in right now. It sounds crazy. But when you think about it, like, yeah, it does kind of make a little bit of sense. I think that's onto something. Trap. What do you think? I think, you think they all get in. I think I'm going to be in the picture. So I don't want to say anything. All right. Fair enough. Let's do a, are the Cowboys done? Hey guys. Um, my name is Rhonda from DeLand, Florida. And, I am a Patriots and Chiefs fan, but my boyfriend is a Cowboys fan and we were watching the game the other day. And can we officially say that the Cowboys have gone to shit? Just saying. Have a great day. What did she say? She fucking wants to throw this in her boyfriend's face. So bad. I fucking love how petty this is. I'm getting the call. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to call into the Heights hotline and I'm going to fucking ask them, are the fucking Cowboys fucking done? Can it's it's, is it safe to say this? Because I said it while we were watching the game and he said, no, they still have a chance. I need football players to co-sign this so that I can throw it right in my boyfriend's face. So fucking good. Well, Trav, you want to answer the lady's question? Um, listen, halfway through the year, always got a chance. Jason, you want to answer it? The Cowboys are fucking dumb. That defense is terrible to watch. I don't know what I would rather watch less. The Vikings offense from last night or the Cowboys defense. Tough to watch. What about the Eagles? Cowboys are an interesting organization, man. Not good either. Cherry's an interesting cat up there. He is. What are we, what are we putting this up for Brandon? They could still win the NFC. Win the NFC. They could still fail. I understand the NFC is not everything that's cracked up to me. I do not think they're going to beat the giants. I don't either. Their defense is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. They almost lost to the Colts who are admittedly foregoing the season. So we're saying, go ahead and throw this in your boyfriend's face. I'm saying, I do not think the Cowboys are going to make the playoffs. Yes. I feel comfortable saying that. Any given Sunday, their defense is atrocious. What a word. It feels the way it sounds the way it means. Yeah. Anything else from week nine? I got nothing, but I don't know if you saw Kelsey rocking my alma maters letter jacket last night. I was wondering what that was. Yeah. Skippers 2010. Not to be confused with the spooners. All right. We're the Minnetonka skippers. We had a huge win. Comeback victory over Blaine. We were down three scores, came back and won in the final seconds. We in the playoffs right now? They are. State playoffs. State playoffs. Very competitive up in Minnesota. Yeah. Honestly, look it up. Theo Brown. I want to shout him out. He's an eighth grader. Made an unbelievable catch. Theo Brown. Unbelievable play. Way to go, Teddy. Come back and win the game. It's an eighth grader. You said playing varsity. Eighth grader on varsity. I'm butthurt because I started as a, as a nose guard. Freshman on varsity. Youngest player to ever play on varsity. And this dude, Theo Brown's a stud. Eighth grader making six snags to bring the team to like the state playoffs. Now he's the youngest player to ever play. And he is an absolute weapon, dude. I had to give him a shout out. Watch this. It was actually a great, great play. Did you send them this clip? No, you just got great producers. Wow. Brandon's usually very slow at finding this. Yeah. Good work, man. Oh, nice. That kid's an eighth grader and he's aura farming at the end. That's how, you know, he's an eighth grader. That's nasty. How old of an eighth grader is he? Yeah. Old enough to do sumo wrestling. If that's what you're asking. This is kind of like when I was wrestling against an eighth grader. Yeah. And he had a beard and I'm like, I think this guy might've been held back a year or two. His dad was downtown, downtown. Terry Brown played guard for Kansas in the eighties. How about it? Is that right? I mean, I want to age. I want to age. If he's over 13. Wow. He's got to be 14. Look, I mean, that's a grown man play right there, dude. Look at this. Yeah. I mean, he's wide open. He didn't even need to jump for it. Who's a good kid. Shout out to minute talk. Shout out to the homecoming King from 2009. Sitting over here, giving me his Letterman jacket. I'm coming King 2009. Don't forget it. Highlight of my highlight of my career. Really?

All right, let's toss it to the John C. Reilly interview. All righty, our guest today is the 6'1 actor, producer, and singer from Chicago, Illinois. Yes, sir. He's an Emmy, Golden Globe, Grammy, Tony, and Academy Award nominee. You know him from Days of Thunder, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Chicago, Tale of Danganites, Walk Hard, Step Brothers, Check It Out with Dr. Steve Brule, Wreck-It Ralph, Winning Time in his new movie, How to Rob a Bank, and as Travis' co-star in one episode of Moonbase 8. That's right, 90% is please don't touch his fucking drum set, John C. Reilly. Yes, sir. Can you follow me everywhere, Jason, and just do that every time I come into a room? Nothing would make me happier than to follow you everywhere you go, John. I promise you. Travis, what have you been up to? Since Moonbase 8. You just kind of disappeared, man. Yeah. This freaking asshole. You know, just the football world, trying to win football games. I'll tell you what, man. That Moonbase 8, I was a shell of a version of myself. You guys were so awesome. I felt like I was, like, in an all-star room and not on that level. It was insane how cool you guys were. And you, high-decker, Fred. You did a lot better than I would do at a football game. I can tell you that. No, I appreciate you saying that, man. One of the coolest things that I tell everybody is, you know, the filming of it and what people see as the show came out was one thing. But how awesome you guys were and how fun it was to just be around you three off set while we were waiting for lighting and camera angles and stuff. You guys are over here playing live music. I had never wanted to know more of the Beatles catalog in my life than when I was on the set. You were just jamming out and having a good time. Good old time, man. It was such a relaxed set. And I can't thank you enough for letting me to be a part of that. And I'll never forget it, brother. Well, I just brag about how I know you now. Like, oh, yeah, he was in Moonbase 8. See that guy who just scored that touchdown? I know that guy. I know that guy. You're the man, dude. We got to talk about How to Rob a Bank, though, man. This is fun. This is a fun, fun movie, man. It was absolutely epic. It's so much fun to just kind of follow along another bank rob movie. I mean, you could tell it has a good twist on it. on it. How did this one come across, and how much fun did you have filming it? They just offered it to me, the usual channels. But what really struck me about it was, like, it was a great bank heist movie, which everyone loves. I love a great bank robbery movie. Heck, yeah. But because there's this gang of young people who are robbing all these banks, They're doing it because they feel like the system is not working for them anymore. You know, one couple lost a kid because of health care. You know, one guy went bankrupt. Another guy, like, got, you know, major health problems from being a vet. So they all just decided, you know what? The system's broken. We're going to just create this populist movement on social media. And we're going to start robbing banks and teach people how to do it on social media. Now, I play the FBI agent who's in charge of trying to catch them. which is kind of a cool part for me. It's like a grown-ass man part for me, you know, for a change. I get to be like the adult in the room, but I don't know. It's a really cool kind of popcorn fun movie, but it ends up really hitting in this emotional way because of what all these young people have been through. And what I'm also really proud about the movie is that it's balanced. You know, it's not like, yeah, F the system. Like, let's burn it all down, you know. The movie says, like, well, people feel that way. But then there's also people like my character who realize it's like, listen, anarchy doesn't work out well for old people and children. So we should have some rules. Like, if everyone just decides if they're going to stop at the red light, then the world is going to be a mess. So, you know, even my character who's in charge of busting these people, by the end of the movie, he really starts to think like, you know, am i the good guy you know like these kids are just trying to like get a start in life and they realize they'll never own a house and you know they'll never make it in this world the way it's set up so it ends up kind of giving a really balanced picture to what everyone's going through and and weirdly you know it's paid by paid for by a major corporation called amazon which i thought it was pretty cool for them to do actually you know it's a very populist kind of movie. Um, anyway, so long story short, I thought it was a really like of the moment kind of movie. Uh, and it wasn't just like an action movie. It was, it had a lot of heart and a lot of emotional depth to it. I love those movies that really blend, blur the lines of like, you know, what's good, what's, what's, what's evil, what's right, what's wrong. And a lot of it gets blurred, especially in a very current day, what it sounds like film that's very relatable for probably a lot of people in America right now. Yeah, for sure, for sure. You know, that Robin Hood dynamic of, you know, it's not right with where everything's at, but at the same time, I like that idea that anarchy is not necessarily the best solution to fix everything at the same time. Did you like being in an action movie? Yeah, yeah, it was cool. I was going to say, like, I really like, you know, to me, the truth about life is, like, when you're at a funeral, somebody always cracks a joke. Or when you're at a birthday, when you're at a birthday party, you realize like, oh, my, that guy's having a hard time, you know, like, that's life, you know, it's not just one thing or the other. And that's why I think a lot of movies get it wrong. Is it just like purely comedy or purely drama? Like, to me, the truth about human beings is like, it's got to have some balance to it like that. And so the movie definitely does. But yeah, an action movie, the guy, David Leitch, who directed it started out as a stuntman, then he was a stunt coordinator. and now he's directing movies so he i mean the stunts in it are just incredible like his elite level stunt work and for some reason they they trusted me to to do a lot of the driving that's awesome some whipping around these corners in this like vintage grand cherokee with terrible suspension there's one section there's one part in the movie where i get the call like they're going that way he tried to get there and i'm like i jump in the car with zoe's character who's kind of like my little buddy in the movie she plays this hacker who i who the fbi hires or we let her out of house arrest in order to help the fbi so she ends up kind of just by accident coming along with me on this call and in the movie you'll see us we're flying down the street in this in this car and i'm it's just me driving the car with a camera attached to it and at one point i go put your seatbelt on and that's just me john telling zoe put your seatbelt on because i realized she doesn't have her seatbelt on like you can't just because the script says we don't get in an accident doesn't mean we're not going to get in an accident yeah you get into this kind of magical thinking when you're an actor you're like yeah it's cool everything's safe but you realize like you're going very fast down a narrow alleyway like it's super cool that's you know like every But, like, every kid, like, you bank, you know, cops and robbers and all that, like, all this kind of stuff that you fantasize about doing when you're a little kid, you get to do it in the movies, including, like, car chases and pulling out guns and, you know, like, all that stuff was really fun. And those FBI windbreakers are so dope, you know, like, it's just very. Oh, yeah. Actually, I tried to steal that windbreaker. I tried to take it with me, and they were like, John, please don't steal the windbreaker. John, please don't steal the windbreaker. And I was like, why? It's cool. It's my costume. And they're like, those are actually highly regulated. Like, the government does not want. They don't want the real-looking ones out there, so please don't. And so I had to give it back. That would make me want to steal it so much more. Even more. Even more. The heist within the heist of. Yeah, for sure. They give all these statistics in the movie, like, these are your chances of owning a home if you're this age. These are your chances of being a CEO These, you know, like, they give all these really bleak statistics about, like, what's in the future for young people. And then they say, see if you guys can guess. Guess what the success rate is for first-time armed bank robberies. Success rate? Success rate. Oh, my gosh. Real low. I mean, I'm assuming success rate means not getting arrested. Right, getting away with it, yeah. Yeah, 1%. I don't know. I'm going to say with the trickery of the question saying the first time, I'm going to go 50-50. I'm going to go 50-50. 50-50? Listen to this. It's 90%. No way. Are you kidding me? 90%. What? That's a real statistic. Do we want people knowing this? Well, the movie talks about it like crazy, so the cat's out of the bag. That's insane. But what happens is, then it goes like this. Then it's like a steep decline. Every one you do after that, your chances, if you end up getting caught, go way up. But if you just do it once, and you plan it well, and there's enough money in the bank that it's really worth doing, like 9 out of 10 times, you can get away with it. That is a mind-blowing statistic. I would have never. Can't get greedy, guys. Wow. The weird thing, too, now, is like banks actually, they don't give a shit about cash as much. There's so much digital money that, you know, they keep a certain amount of cash in banks, like yeah okay well it's almost like an insurance write-off you know the big money of course is in all this digital money and crypto and all that stuff if you were to rob a bank what are you doing with the money what what's john c reilly doing with the cash he gets gosh if you know i've had a very good life you know there's very little i want for these days yeah what would i do with the money well i think i would hide it for a long time first of all i bury that shit like they keep track of those numbers that are on the bills we're going to move on to a little bit of uh some of your other films we'll ask you this hypothetical you see travis and i walking down the street and uh what do you think just on looking at both of us our favorite movie of yours would be well this is a game that i play with my wife all the time when people come up i mean really people come up to me in the airport they're like oh my gosh you're that actor aren't you and and we both think like what movie are they gonna say and then we compare like after but these days honestly these days eight out of ten people say stepbrothers so i'm just gonna go with the high the high probability and say stepbrothers um yeah because i love that movie too but uh is that right i mean it's either stepbrothers talladega nights i think that's one and two one and one and one for me yeah and we love all of your i mean we love a lot of the things you've done uh but those two are probably the ones that we quote the most so we just end up being the ones that we think about most frequently and my wife my wife or her favorite movie is stepbrothers like she loves that's the crazy thing about that movie young people old people like it hits all these different like quadrants you know like i remember at the premiere for that movie will ferrell's mom k came up to me and she's like oh me and my friends just loved it john we just loved it and i was like oh and i was thinking like this is gonna be a group we're gonna have trouble with you know and i was like you love it and she's like yeah yeah she's like this sweet like north carolina lady and i was like what can i just ask k why do you guys love it so much she goes we just want to grow you up we just want to grow you up so it provokes this like maternal instinct you know like yeah yeah so fun there's something very real about that movie you know there's something it touches on some things that are very real about family life and you know mixed families between two different parents and you know like the whole stepbrother thing like it touched a lot of people so i'm really proud of that one you should be absolutely hell yeah do you have a favorite line that you're one that you hear the most maybe what you get brought up most from that film well the freaky thing is when like young kids like 10 year old kids are like are you are you fucking out of your mind you know like i'm like wait a second you're 10 years old why did your father let you watch this in the first place yeah i mean i love when people say did we just become best friends that's that's pretty great there was one time i was standing in an airport like in the in the in the concession area like whatever i you know trying to buy some snacks with my son who was very young at the time he was probably six or seven standing next to me and we're looking like what yogurt should we get and all of a sudden this girl just slides up next to me like kind of slowly and creepily and she goes do you like guacamole and i was like what yeah yes i do and she's like no the movie you know like right before i jump on the bunk bed and stepbrothers i go oh i've been meaning to ask you do you like guacamole and i jump on the bed and the bed collapses it really freaked my son out my son was like dad why didn't she ask if you like guacamole like i was like one day you'll know son one day you'll know it'll all make sense having kids and being in movies i mean i don't know about you guys but like i barely have any photographs or video of my dad my dad passed away when i was in my 20s it just wasn't a thing you know video was just coming in when my dad before my dad passed away but um i think now like what is it like for my sons to be able to look at me have whole like two-hour movies of me from the time i was 22 years old to the you know to to now like every year they can figure out what did he look like what did he sound like what was he you know they're characters obviously but i remember i was on an airplane one time and um and i was with my son and i you know like it was one of these old airplanes that had the big tv it wasn't like an individual screen it was like back in the day when my son was really young and the flight attendant comes up to him she's like i got a surprise for you and i was like what is that and she's like the perfect storm is the movie and i was like oh wow okay i guess thinking like i just have to keep my son's eyes off this movie because it's like crazy it's intense and i end up dying in it like and i'm kind of giving him all these here's a toy here's a magazine look at this look at that just trying to like distract him and then after a while i just kind of space out and i forget to distract him and i look over and he's staring at the movie screen and the scene is like oh my god he's like oh my god he's like that's going on i'm saying goodbye to my little son in the movie i'm like i love you buddy i'll see you later and i'm hugging him and kissing him on the head and my son goes who is that boy and i swear to god it was like getting busted by your wife with another woman i was like it's not what it looks like he means nothing to me he means nothing to me this is funny because you know at that age he didn't even understand what i did for a living you know he didn't know like it's just a trippy thing to have a dad who's an actor i think has he expressed a movie of yours that that's his favorite you know you know not really those i have two sons and they both kind of have their own private experience with like you know i've tried to help them manage what it's like to have to have a well known dad or whatever but i don't have any reference points for it i didn't grow up with anyone in show business so i don't have any reference points for it i didn't grow up with i'm just kind of like is this weird for you guys you're like no dad it's good we have a good life you know but they did admit i was like have you guys seen stepbrothers because i didn't show it to them there's all this crazy sexual stuff in it that i do in that movie so i'm like i'm not showing this to my children like when they both admitted we saw it at a friend's house they eventually admitted you know we saw it at a friend's house dad when i was like 13 like but it was like long after they saw it i didn't even realize that they had that they had seen that it just didn't ask about it you know like it must be strange though to see your dad doing all the crazy stuff that i've done over the years but whatever you know i want to ask you guys about football honestly yeah yeah what do you got love talking i'm just really what i'm really curious about in football is like the stuff that you don't hear this the stuff that what the players say to each other to psych each other out like how how bad does it get you know like because you know get those helmets on you're looking around the line they're about to you know hike the ball like you must be saying some crazy shit to each other to psych each other out i know in in basketball you hear about all that you know it's a little a little harder to hide it in basketball but i'm just really curious about the unsaid stuff that happens between the players specifically i'll let trav you want to start go ahead it can get very aggressive for sure like a lot of motherfuckers a lot of i'll fucking kill yous a lot of a lack of honestly a lack of creativity is most of it john it is very much just spur of the moment we're dealing with guys that are just banging their heads for a living so it's not you remember in that that jordan documentary where somebody makes the mistake of saying like good game man and it was like jordan was like i will destroy him you know the guy was just trying to be nice you know like good game i'll kill you dude honestly that's the way all the good ones are wired like even when somebody's not trying to mean offense they take it and they use it as energy and fuel and no matter what you say they're going to find a way to use it against you but i i would say in in basketball i think it happens more john because there's a little bit more time in between things football although it looks like there's a lot of time with the 40 seconds there's so much thinking and processing on what the play is at least for me in my position you don't really have as much time to like talk as much trash a lot of that will happen in between the plays if at all but again once the play's over you're kind of on to the next one i'm also curious about how how much it hurts because you hear when you hear those sounds on tv like you're like and then they just spring up people jump up it's almost like a point of pride getting up as fast as you can but you guys are sure if i got hit one time like that i would be in physical therapy for six months you know like well to be fair i i do go right into physical therapy uh that after the game um i would say it just imagine uh like the bird scooters or there there's like scooters or like a like a moped or something like that goes around 15 to 20 miles per hour um just imagine jumping off of one of those and that's basically getting tackled in the nfl oh man yeah all right not for me not for me but in the middle of it you have so much adrenaline and things happening unless it's like a really bad hit you kind of are just moving and like you you don't notice it as much i mean you got so much adrenaline happening that a lot of times you you won't even notice how hard the hit was yeah and in some cases it's like being a stunt man in a in a way like you know how to fall you know how to take the the absorb the hits and and kind of roll with the ground unless you just don't see no offense guys but i'm a bears fan and i'm super psyched for the bears this year yeah you should be yeah the bears got it rolling right now we gotta win one for dicker this year oh my gosh now it's a legend such a good point just icon and you guys got a great team you really do it all comes down a lot of times to trench play in my mind when you have a great offense line a great defense line it just sets the stage that's why that simmons trade is so huge for their defense the offensive line has been fantastic coach is phenomenal as long as caleb doesn't do what he did last week where he's like throwing three picks and you know making mistakes like that they're gonna be in these games they're gonna have a chance to win i love his response after though his response after was like i'm not gonna stop throwing you think that's gonna like put me off like no so what you know i get picked whatever we won the game who cares like last season was insane the cardiac bears was insane i mean man it's it's no way to kind of fun to watch it's not really a long-term plan to play like that but i those last minute finishes are so fun absolutely well we got to get to our our last segment here big guy it's uh it's called we gotta ask you don't have to answer but uh we gotta ask we knew where you were from chicago love that you're a bears fan but we also hear that you're a big hurling guy oh yeah i love hurling big hurling listen i think it's one of the most exciting sports out there i don't necessarily understand the rules because i've never really got into it but it is i've seen some highlights and that shit is electric how'd you get into hurling well i go to ireland a lot i have a lot of friends there we i go there at least once a year and i just kind of stumbled onto it in a pub um but yeah i love it's kind of like baseball and soccer mixed together and the speed of it is insane like how fast the ball moves and stuff it seems totally dangerous dude that almost seems like a like a barbarian game or something like it just seems like from the olden times or something but yeah i'm a huge fan of the gaelic sports i've uh i found out about it the same way i was over in a pub and uh just outside of dublin and they were playing gaelic football and then i found out about hurling afterwards the irish culture and how much it is unique to itself and how they've kept those traditions alive is awesome i also love that and i don't know if it's the same way in hurling but i don't know if it's the same way in hurling but they players all play for the counties that they're from right like that's it's not like a professional bought and traded team like this is like no wherever you're from though that's who you play also they also don't make any money they don't get paid they're not allowed to drink you know if you if you're a ga player and you're seen in a bar it's like this big shame like they take it so seriously yes super seriously not being allowed to drink i know integral to the sport i heard that and i was like what is that true before you go out there boys yeah these guys are like school teachers and insurance sales whatever they have day jobs you know the other thing that's really interesting about ireland is like you know football or you know whatever soccer soccer is so so popular in europe but it's it's just kind of popular in in ireland they're more into their you know the ga and then you know the gaelic football and and the hurling like it's funny like it's it's just so funny it's so funny it's so funny little microcosm absolute have you ever done irish road bowling no that is that a euphemism for something no no no so i believe it's in county cork in like some specific counties but i did it up in boston there's a crew of those guys that all play over there but they take cannonballs and they roll them down the road and whoever can get down the road and pass this line and the least amount of throws wins and they're all betting on the side of it it's incredible that sounds fun definitely yeah this is yeah this is definitely a minimum 10 beers before you play a game just whoever came up with the idea with the idea let's take a cannonball okay already you're already drunk if you're suggesting throwing a cannonball so true we mentioned obviously stepbrothers um and uh talladega knights but we did not mention a number of them but we did not mention a number of them but we did not mention a number of them another one of our favorites in particular mine because of a huge johnny cash fan i love music in general play music my whole life cannot tell you how excited i am that you are resurrecting the great legendary dewey cox that's right you're going to get up touring again we're calling it the res erection of cox tour yeah well it all started because jack white who's in the movie who's my buddy from you know all these years i've been in the movie i've been in the movie for a long time and i've been in the movie for a long time and i've been in the movie for a long time and i've been in the movie for a long time now he plays elvis in the movie yeah he was like hey you know the 20th anniversary of that movie is coming up why don't we re-release the soundtrack and i was like oh my god it wouldn't have even occurred to me that it was the 20th anniversary and i was like you're absolutely right and i should go on tour as dewey cox again for the 20th anniversary that's a brilliant idea so it's still formulating right now we're still trying to get all the permissions and all that set up but you know that movie when it came out was didn't do so well it's still formulating it's still great on that first weekend so it was like this kind of this disappointment for the studio but man oh man that one was a was a creeper it like but at this point basically any musician i meet famous or otherwise the first thing they say to me is walk hard you know so yeah it's it's this tour and stuff is going to be a way to kind of celebrate the movie with the fans again and like it's almost like this secret thing people have been passing around like this kind of inside joke that i felt like it needed a moment and it's in the sun you know like after 20 years like let's let's go out and celebrate cox this is so good and it's an endless stream of dick jokes endless yes yes yes wouldn't want to have it any other way the uh there's there's a huge rumor out there that um that you may have talked or tried to talk leonardo dicaprio out of doing titanic so he would do boogie nights yeah that's not a rumor that is just the truth yeah yeah that's the truth yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah paul was originally going after for the movie and i was like i had already worked with him and what's eating gilbert grape so i i sat him down i was like i got it paul i'll get him to do it you know i sat him down because and and i'll never forget i said to him leo he's saying oh they're everyone's you know the agents are saying i should do this titanic movie and it's a big opportunity and i mean i love this boogie night script but i'm not sure and i was like listen the titanic that movie is a big opportunity and i mean i love this boogie night script but i'm not sure and i was like is about a boat that sinks everyone knows the boat sinks no one's gonna give a shit about who's on the boat you gotta do this one leo regretted not doing boogie nights for many years i think and um but then he and paul got together and made one battle after another and it like it all worked out so you know he got quite a quite a good career out of doing titanic so i don't think there's any regret there but worked out for everybody yeah yeah i do gotta ask you this this isn't really on the road but i've seen you discuss this before and i have been infatuated with it because most of the time i think this word is associated with a negative connotation i am privy to that you um are into the art of clowning yes yeah yeah yeah i grew up doing it when i was a kid like for real like like i did clown ministry at my church which is like we dress up like clowns and go to like nursing homes or like street fairs or whatever like um but you know clown whatever like there's been this like stigma with it right now like with horror movies and all that like creepy clowns and all that but actual clowning is more like uh improv you know like i know there's a lot of there's a whole big kind of clowning scene in la and it's not full face makeup old fashion bozo the clown it's like it's more like physical improv kind of like where you're you're the butt of the joke all the time and it's an ancient art form clowning and like you know look if you like what i did in stepbrothers that's clowning you know right the physical comedy stuff that is clowning dr c brule is a clown you know like the joke's always on him like he gets into in over his head and you know like that is clowning it's but but yeah there's unfortunately people have kind of like used clowns as like to be something scary or weird or whatever but i get it that and then also i think there's like it's like an insult like oh you're a clown like you're not yeah it's you know but you know real clowns embrace that and clowns say like if i fail i've succeeded you know like that's the whole thing of a clown you're supposed to fuck up so that the audience feels like oh i at least i'm not him you know like yeah that's the whole point can i ask you is there are there legitimate techniques that you're taught when you're like clowning like or is this something you're truly just completely improvising or is there like kind of go-to techniques and oh no there's whole yeah there's whole you know there's a lot of there's a lot of training for clowns it kind of ties into the circus thing too a little bit with acrobatics and juggling and all that kind of stuff uh but physical comedy you know like it's it's a lot harder than it looks you look at something like laurel and hardy like those guys or even the simpsons you know the simpsons those are clown characters you know like homer simpson is a clown you know but yeah there's definitely there's definitely training physical training how to how Timing, you know, I'm sure you guys do all kinds of stuff like this. with football too like in order to predict what someone's gonna do or you know like it's all just physical discipline and understanding rhythm and timing and oh yeah building those instincts yeah no yeah right there with you who was your like inspiration to get into the comedy world when you were younger you know I I was never really like drawn specifically to be a comedian I just wanted to I just like telling stories being an actor but I mean as a kid Gene Wilder was a huge one you know in Young Frankenstein and um and Willy Wonka you know like that I just always really related to Gene Wilder who's just this kind of magical guy but I love people like Gene Hackman and Robert Duvall and you know all those kind of guys too but comedy wise it's almost like I fell into comedy just by you know just by being an actor you know like you know people ask me do you like comedy better or we're doing drama better and I say like look I just like having jobs and I like being employed and it's about commitment and being sincere you know if you really commit to an absurd idea you're in a comedy you know yeah but the commitment is the same you're like trying to just make yourself believe that that the situation you're in is real so but you know um I have to say Will Ferrell was a huge Will was one of the first people that showed me like oh no that it's commitment like when Will chases a joke down or Will commits to something it's it's like method acting you know he goes all the way there like and the more he does that the more he focuses the funnier it gets so he was someone that you know when we got together I was like oh I could be funny like this or I you know I know how to do that I know how to commit to a bit you know like that's too good so yeah he and I we we just right away we had this kind of brotherly thing right away I looked at him like where did this guy come from like I something about him just seems familiar to me like familiar as in family you know like this felt like we're related from the beginning that's one of the most iconic duos of all time brother absolutely so cool thank you do you have a welcome to Hollywood moment we kind of ask all of our guests this can be positive negative kind of whatever strikes you welcome to Hollywood well you know the classic I mean I mean the first time I was in a movie was also the first time I left the country the first time I was on an airplane the first time you know like my life went from first gear to fourth gear like when I got my first movie and I remember being on a first class flight being you know flying somewhere and looking at the menu and turning to this guy next to me and going what is a prawn I never heard of a prawn he's like it's kind of a big shrimp son and I was like yeah yeah but the classic kind of like what is happening to me in my life moment I was I was doing this movie Hoffa with Jack Nicholson and you know obviously just this legend and you almost have to like tell yourself just don't be weird don't be weird just be normal just treat him like a person you know like because otherwise you're so in your head you can't do your job you know right but so we've been working on the movie for a while and we've been working on the movie for a while and we were in Detroit we shot in a bunch of cities for that movie but we were in Detroit and uh shooting this scene and and I heard that U2 was in town and I'm you know being Irish come from Chicago U2 is like as big as it gets to us you know them and the pogues anyway we're on the set and I go into this restroom and I'm I go in there to take a pee and I'm standing at the urinal and here comes Jack right after me he comes in and he's standing next to me at the urinal you know and it's just one of those moments like okay I'm standing here with my dick in my hand and Jack Nicholson is standing right next to me with his dick and it's just like what is happening in my life and then you're trying to focus you know like don't just be don't choke now like you really have to don't get a don't get a shy wiener all of a sudden like we're standing here I finally relax enough to start peeing and he's like you like U2 and I'm like I don't know what to do I don't know what to do I don't know and I was like and we're still peeing and I was like oh yeah oh yeah I love him I love him he's like want to go see him and I was like yeah sure Jack and he's like they're pals of mine you're in and then we finished and then I went to see U2 with Jack Nicholson in Detroit there's like four more stories from that night but that was that was one of the first times I was like what is happening right now like hell yeah that's such a good story man you like U2 they're pals of mine you're in you're in it sounds like you're in but that's not what he was

No, that one was backward. I'm looking at them all. What are they doing? What are they doing? The pause. Camera. I need a camera. It's such a good pause. Oldest trick in the book. Oh, man. The ball hit the ground. That was a highlight. I'll give it a nice five. Five? I mean, I'm five. That's a five? That's a five? All right. That's a hell of a play. Yeah, I mean, again, smart, headsy play. Great job on the call. All right, it's a four. For the BC Warriors. We're going four with the call. We're going four? Where'd you guys want it? Four or five? I think we said five. I think it was five. Keep it at five. All right, let's go, Nico Collins. Now we're talking. This is nasty. Chargers with some pressure. Dead one. Yeah, see, now this is. This is a top ten play. Touchdown. That's insane. Got another angle of it. Oh, here it is. There it is. I mean, this doesn't even make any sense. Dude, that body. God damn, that's outrageous. That doesn't even make any sense. It doesn't at all. I mean, what do you think? One or two? I mean, that's stupid. We can save one if you want. We can give it two. This is insane. I have a hard time believing something's going to beat that. That's incredible. Two. What does that feel like, Travis? I've never made a play like this in my life. I mean, but yeah. You know what I'm saying. Like, wow. Actually, I made a play like this in high school one time on a two-point. So, I can relate. I'd like two assists and tackles one game. So, I'm kind of stuck. Let's go to Packers. Packers. Evan Williams on interception. Here he is. Blitz is picked up. Float to one. Has a man open. It's Williams. Not able. Evan Williams. And he's stuck. Evan Williams. And he's stuck. That's a highlight. I love that. Come on. He just tries to reassure all of his. Come on. I know you guys hate this, but. You hate everything. We'll go nine. Brayton was right there with Troy Aikman last night when he said, this is the greatest play I've ever seen. That was a good play. It was a good play. I'm not saying it wasn't a good play. This is a good play. I'll give it an eight. Is eight open? That's a fucking eight. I was saying nine. But yeah, an eight's fine. We'll keep nine open. All right. Okay. We're going to go to the Browns and go to the Browns. Overtime. Overtime. Harold Fannin, please. Harold Fannin. This is nasty. This is nasty. For the game. Great stiff arm. This is a highlight. Another one. Oh, yeah. This is overtime. Overtime. Overtime. That boy is cold, man. Then they missed the two. It was not a long. Oh, God. They lost. They didn't get the two-point. Blocking downfield. What does that feel like? Again, I don't think I've done quite this. I'm more of an eluding the guys that are coming after me, not necessarily going through them. I'm all in on this. I mean, just multiple people catching five fingers to the face. That's a moment. You think three? I think that's one, dude. You think that's above what Nico did? Dude, this is overtime for the game. They lost. They did not win. But they could have just kicked the point. They kept playing, but it's fine. All right, one. Sure, one. Let's just keep this going. I'll take it. I like that. I'm a big fan of running through people. It's my preferred highlight. Yeah. You guys already talked about it. Apparently, you already don't like it. We're going to do it anyways. The greatest play you ever saw last night. This interception. This interception. He's playing down here, but he's got eyes on the quarterback. And how many times you see a corner once his man's no longer in the play. Byron Murphy picking off Josh Allen. It's a really good play. Yeah, it is a good play. Back into the middle of the defense. Josh Allen never sees him, nor should he account for when Troy says that's. That would have been six, too. I can't wait to see it again. I mean, Travis, unless you want to veto this, I think it's, what, seven? Seven. It's better than the last interception. Look, dude, Andy got a great return. I mean, he got one. We already have something like five, Bo. Can you keep up? We have seven, six, nine, and four, and three available. I like seven. Seven it is. Okay. I'm going to be a homer from the Texas-Missouri game. Come on, boys. Simmons. Good protection. Ball is out. Oh, now that's a good play. See, this is a good interception. Because somebody fucking destroyed somebody. And a slide. And a slide to kill their timeout. Listen, I am all in on this. Heads up play. Unselfish play? Unselfish. That's what we teach here at Steve Texas. I would have rather that he goes unscored. We're kind of debating if he should have just taken the touchdown. I know. It's smart. It's smart. I know. It is, and it also, like, they still got, whatever. We scored, like, three plays later. All right. No, it's a smart thing to do. It's a smart thing to do. I don't know if it is. It's kind of 50-50, if we're being honest. This hit's electric, though. So they're at least going to get the ball back. Yeah. Nothing else weird happened in this game. Don't worry about it. What do we think? Four? I mean, I'll give it four. Yeah. Say one. That hit is the main thing. It's incredible. It's absolutely electric. Wow. That is outstanding. Hand on the ball. Textbook. Violent. It's beautiful football. That's all we coach down there in Texas. Next play. Christian Watson. Catch. Packers game. All right. Second down for Love. One-handed snag. One-handed snag. No. For seven yards. Look at that. Look at that snag. That's a snag. I'll give it. That's a good snag. Like Jason said, he got the full grab on the ball. I'll give it a nine. Nine. Sounds good. I like nine. Okay. We're going to go to women's soccer. Hell yeah. About damn time. This is North Carolina, Louisville. They stay on that path in the running for one of those. Oh, this is going to not top 10 play. Hey. Oh, my God. It was just fine. Take it one for the team. Let's fucking go. Oh, right in the temple. God damn. Awesome. I mean, it's got to be three. Got to be three. I like three. That's a great play. That's a not top 10. That's an incredible play. That's what I'm talking about. I hope she's okay. We have number six left. I'm going to go with some MMA. Oh, hell yeah. I didn't know this was in the books. Hell yeah. It is. No, this is men fighting. It is when it gets weird. Oh, my gosh. Is this the dude fucking humping the shit out of the room? You know what's coming, Travis. You're online. This is absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely. Absolutely. Is that allowed? Is that a sanctioned move? Is that a dick stop? It's like, we got to cut to the girl with the biggest dick in the audience. We got to straighten this out over here. I don't know why he's all about this. They cut straight and they inflict some. What the fuck? Look, that dude's uncomfortable as fuck. He's like, bro, what the fuck are you doing? Look at. That's the weirdest machine. If that doesn't make you want to kill me, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. If that doesn't make you want to kill your fucking opponent, I don't know what does. His name is Shadow Shot? Shadow Shot. Now that I'm hearing the announcers, this is in Germany or something like that. Yeah, it's a foreign promotion. Oh, my fucking God. One. Wait, wait, hold on. This is the best part. Got to get it at the right part. Yeah, I got you, bro. I would want to fucking kill this dude if he did that to me. That's fucking. The dick stomp. The dick stomp. It's not the dick stomp. It's the dick punch. Dick stomp. Dick stomp. Dick stomp. It's like a teabag. One right there. The dude drinking the water bottle is like, what the fuck is going on right now? The guy. Go back to the beginning. Before it pans to him flicking him off. He's got this guy like drinking the water. The guy goes to like put his glasses on and like she's like an official. Hold on. After this. Like watch this guy. And he's just like, well, how do I score this one? Okay. End of the round. Does he get points for that? Oh, this shit is. Let's see. Where's dick stomp on my cheek? All right. So that's six. That's six. And that is the segment. Well, 92% is that wraps up the clips of the new heights top 10, but hold on because this week's stamp of the week. Uh, gets an upgrade.

Um, I think it's, uh, it was awesome to see the ceremony and everything and be there to call the game and watch that whole thing happen to watch one of the best running backs in the league. Get enshrined was incredible. That's pretty cool. So yeah. Adrian Peterson. Boom. All right. Alrighty. And that's stamp of the week brought to you by Royal Caribbean.
