I think we need to get this thing rocking. You guys are in for a doozy. Our first guest is 6'3 actor, writer, and producer from the University of Southern California. He's got three primetime Emmys, two ESPYs, a Spike TV's Guy Shorts Award for Funniest MoFo, the Mark Twain Prize for Humor, and he also won the 2022 MLS Cup for your LAFC. Oh, yeah. You know him from his seventh season on SNL. Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Old School Semifinals. Thank you so much. Please welcome Mr. Elko. Mr. Elko! Oh, my God. Take that, Elko. Upper deck! Upper deck. Oh, that has some kick. That has some kick. This should grab you right in the middle. Absolutely. Oh, right there. That thing has some kick on it. Yeah, that had a lot of kick on that. Look at this. How's everyone doing? Wow. Look, wait. Two shitheads from Fifth Amendment. And you guys built this. This is insane. And you're here. For all these other shitheads, which I am one of those shitheads. Let's go! If you build this, they will come. It's the only time any of these people will ever come to live theater. Right? This is a bit of a classy situation. This is a classy joint. Did you guys realize it was going to be such a classy joint? I don't think the Orpheum Theater knew what they were getting into. No, no. Hopefully we get them right in the back. Were you guys in the plays at high school at all? Did you high school theater? I did not. I did. You guys would have been amazing. I would have loved to, honestly. We were just playing sports. I did do swim cadets. Was that like synchronized swimming? It was synchronized swimming. Yes. And they would recruit. Male cadets, yeah. They would recruit guy cadets. Did it have a military component as well? A little bit. The woman who ran it was very militaristic. Yeah, yeah. Very militant. But they would recruit guy cadets, and we would run skits in between while the ladies were setting up for their next show. So me and my buddies would just go out there on this pool deck and we'd be messing around. Swim cadets. Yes. You guys got to bring that back. You should see this guy in a suit. Rock a Speedo. We don't need to bring that back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not afraid to rock a Speedo. Did anyone rock a Speedo down in Venice when you were down there? Oh, yeah. Tons of Speedos. They look great, too. Yeah, they look great. They're very aerodynamic. It's funny. The key to a Speedo, after three minutes, you forget you have a Speedo on. It's fantastic. Those three minutes. Those three minutes is torture. A lot of looks. It's mental torture. A lot of looks. I had a buddy who, for his 50th birthday party, he did a three-day party, and it was near the ocean. I brought a Speedo. I change Speedos every three hours. So I come out in a different Speedo. Yeah. And it divided people on a comedy line. Oh, interesting. Yes. Who's into it? Half the crowd was like, that is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Keep the Speedos. Keep the Speedos coming. Other people were like, please stop. Please stop. We get it. We get it. Does the three minutes of the Speedo, does it happen every time you put on a new Speedo? No. It's just about the first Speedo. You can break the seal. You're good to go. Dude, you've had a crazy, crazy year, brother. Look at that. We got a little bit of a sport court up here. We got a sport court going on up here. Dude, you've had a crazy, crazy year. You've had a big summer. You've had a huge summer. Obviously, we've seen you at the Kings games, the Lakers games. Talladega Knights' 20th year anniversary. Hosting the season finale, SNL. Season finale, SNL. Oh, my gosh. Are you the busiest man in Hollywood? No. No. Not even close. No. Where does New Heights rank among how busy you are? This is. Are we up there? New Heights. You guys are definitely up there. Yeah! He's a people pleaser. No, I make it look like I'm busy, but I got plenty of time. It's the best kind of busy right there. More cowbell. How does it feel, the 20th anniversary of Talladega Knights coming up? What does that mean? That feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. It's kind of incredible to have a film like that, you know, resonate with so many people. And Talladega Knights, was a knee-jerk reaction to how hard Anchorman was to get made. Yeah. No one wanted to make that movie. And I said to Adam McKay, my writing partner, I said, gosh, we should just pick a topic that's really popular and just build something. Like, for instance, like, everyone loves NASCAR. Yeah. We should just write a NASCAR comedy. Let's just go. He called me back five minutes later. He's like, that's not a bad idea. And that, we sold that in two seconds. And then, I mean, two guys who knew nothing about motorsports, and we write the seminal movie on NASCAR. It seemed like you knew everything about NASCAR. We were surrounded by a lot of good people. I went to Talladega this year, and it was, you know, all over the place. It's crazy, right? It's absolutely crazy. The boulevard, everything down there. Did you drive a car? I handed gas cans in. I drove a car at Charlotte Motorsports. Jason won a championship. I did win a race. You did? Well, Corey Day technically won the race. But I was a part of the team. But you were the gas man. I was the handoff to the gas man. Well, he had a onesie on. But did he dedicate his win to you? He did. He actually insisted that I keep coming back. And I unfortunately had to retire immediately. By the way, when we were rehearsing for the movie, we were like, okay, we want this to be as real as possible. So we did pit crew training. So that was going to be my question. And I was, because Ricky Bobby was a jack man. That's an underrated. He did a good job. Underrated. So hard. And all the guys who are tire changers, they were looking for defensive backs, college football players. Yes. Because you have to be super fast, strong, move around quickly. I was like, this is the hardest thing. What are we doing? Absolutely. What are we doing? I think now on the monologue, they want to change four tires, refuel the car, do all of that in under nine seconds, which is just mind-blowing to think about. And they're each doing different. And with you, it's more like 25 seconds? I think it was nine seconds for me to hand the gas can. Yes. And spilled a lot of gas. Oh, all the tires are on the wheel already? It's an incredibly hard thing. The dedication those guys have. And like you just said, many of them are like former collegiate athletes, football players. They have coaches that are coaching them and watching the footage with them. It's pretty remarkable what they do down there in the pit. There would have been nothing happier. There would have been nothing happier for me to see than for you to just absolutely eat shit with that fucking gas can. I wanted you to go viral for throwing the gas can at the car. Yeah. And Talladega, if any race fans know this fun fact about Talladega Motor Speedway, it's the only racetrack that has its own what? Shake and bake. Shake and bake. That's a lot of shake and bake. It does have that. It's the only raceway that has its own what? Jail. Oh. Yeah. That's how you know they have fun. That's a compliment. Yeah. I only know one other place that has a jail at an event like that. And that's the Philadelphia Eagles League of Financial Field. Yeah, Veterans Field, famously, the Eagles' old stadium had a jail underneath the stadium. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh. One and the same. Yeah. And you win. You win at both. I do want to ask, is there one? So you have the hawk coming out. Yes. July 16th. Caw-caw! Caw-caw! The Hawk. Yeah. Lonnie the Hawk Hawkins. Why do you enjoy doing sports comedies so much? What is it about? I think, obviously, I grew up, you know, one of the best things my mother ever did for me was sign me up for AYSO soccer when I was eight years old. Kicking and screaming. And that was the first time I was involved in team sports. I kind of hated it at first, but anyway, from that point on, I loved playing sports. I loved being on a team, and it led to loving, I think, working in film, working on an ensemble show like Saturday Night Live where it's all about teamwork. And then, obviously, that's what I thought I was going to do prior to going into comedy was be a sportscaster. So I think it's always an easy reference point for me in terms of combining two things I love. And this was just a great opportunity to kind of send up golf and the PGA in a way that hadn't really been done before. And Netflix just kind of let us make a very fun, old-school comedy with horribly unredeemable, unredeemable character. So that's what Lonnie, he's a total narcissist who only wants to win, and he's, yeah, so. So you just said you went into NASCAR not knowing much about NASCAR or telegram rides. How much golf has the Hawk been playing? The Hawk's been playing a fair amount of golf. I'm a 17 handicap. Why are you laughing? Why? We're not far off. Where are you guys? He's lower. Probably a 10. You're a 10, okay. I'm probably like a 15. Yeah. So, yeah. You and I. You give us strokes. Deal. Yeah. Deal. But no, yeah, I've gotten a little bit better. That'd be a dream golf round. I'm good enough. I'm good enough to film myself swinging a golf club. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. So the Hawk is, do we know when it's coming out? July 16th. Oh, it's right around the fucking corner. Great cast. Molly Shannon, Chris Parnell from SNL, Luke Wilson, Fortune Feimster. Yeah, we got to shoot it here in LA and we just had the best time. That's awesome. Great time. Well, shout out to Netflix. July 16th, ladies and gentlemen. And I'm going to be filming. I really wanted to talk to you. Even when we had you on New Heights about my guy, fellow tight end, Mike Dicka, and kicking his group. Oh, Mike. Is that man as intense as he seems? Coach was the best. But yes. I witnessed his hip pop out of joint. My gosh. Yes. While we were filming. And then the medic. Came and popped it back in. And then I said, coach, you want to just shut it down? He's like, no, we're good. Couple of Advils. And let's just keep going. Give me another cup of coffee and we'll be good. But he threw himself into that. He was so fun and funny. And I mean, he just had to be Mike Dicka. Yeah. Which was such a funny move that that's who I get to be my assistant coach. Ordering around. I don't know how you kept it together, dude. I would have. First of all, I don't know how you look at Mike Dicka and not. Oh, he would. I could scream it at him and then we yell cut and he'd just crack up. But I was like, the only way I can do this is I know that we're acting. Because if I do this in real life, he would punch me in the face. But he'd have us at his place in Chicago. And in fact, we were there having a dinner because we did some promotional stuff in Chicago. And he's like, Will. Will, come with me. And he walked. He took me from our dinner. We walked into this banquet room. We walked into someone's wedding reception. No, you crashed away. And the groom is giving a toast. And he just goes, anyway, Barbara, I love you so much and your family. Oh, my God. Will Ferrell and Mike Dicka. And he starts sweating. And I'm like, hey, how you doing? Sorry. Sorry. Coach brought me in here. And he's like, what are you guys doing here? He's like, hey, how's everyone doing? You having a great time? And then he's like, I love doing that. Come on, let's go back. What a legend. Just stuff like that, you can't. Yeah. You do seem like you love to do that type of stuff. Yeah. You're the referee. You're kicking Shaq out. Right, right, right, right. Some of the kings are in this shit, right? Last Christmas, I just, I dressed as a disheveled, down-and-out Buddy the Elf. Yes, yes. Yeah. Actually, I do remember that. With a lit cigarette. And people were like, this is why I love the NHL. Other people got mad at me. No, Buddy, what's wrong with Buddy? He can't be sad. Yeah, he can't be too sad. World outside of the North Pole. Oh, no. This year, I dressed as a full referee. I did a, and I just, I had a helmet, a full ref outfit, and just imitated the refs. Yes. During the game. Yes. Talked to them in between the periods. They loved it. This is great. No one pays attention to us, ever. But you forget, they've got to skate backwards, too. Seriously. Yeah. Yeah. Then they've got to stay out of the way of the puck. They've got to see what's happening. They've got to break up fights. You guys would make good. Good refs, I think. Second career? Yeah. Yeah. NHL refs? I mean, that's not a bad retirement. Were you guys skaters at all? Did you skate? We were. After the swim cadets? They get you on. After swim cadet practice. Okay. Get right on the ice. Actually, yeah, they would just freeze the pool when we get out there. We both played hockey growing up. Yeah. See, I see that. We got out there, yeah. Yeah. I loved every Kings game. I'm sure. Had a fucking blast. Yeah, we didn't really have, hockey didn't come to L.A. until much later. Pro beach. Hockey did, though. I remember watching that. Pro beach hockey. That was sweet. That was the league I wanted to play. Pro beach hockey in Speedos. Roller blade. Yeah. Sign me up. Yeah. Well, let's get to some L.A. stuff. We know you're an L.A. guy, L.A. native, so we've got to ask you some L.A. questions. L.A. show. L.A. show. Just throwing it out there. What's the best burger out here in L.A.? Definitely, I mean, you can't go wrong with internet. In and out. If you just need to. Animal style. But, I just heard about a great place near an amazing taco place, La Escuela, on Beverly called Burger She Wrote. I mean, I'm in for the theme alone. Burger She Wrote. Yeah. Another amazing Mexican place that borders on seafood is a place called Hobosh. Anyone been to Hobosh? It's down near the USC campus. Michelin star, like ceviche, incredible. It's got the Marshmallow Man plaque out front? Yeah. Yeah, it's got the plaque. I saw that one day and had no fucking clue it was actually the Michelin Man giving all these stars out. Well, that's why he's huge, because he eats so much and he knows where all the good places are. That's a guy I trust. Yeah, he trusts the Michelin Man. He knows. Yeah.

Like, we just kept scoring goals, and it was insane. So we're winning it all, right? 100%. After all the other results, I feel very confident, yeah. Yeah. What do you think, from you guys' standpoint watching that game, what really stood out to you as experts in the game? They just looked good. Like, the possession of the ball, the breaking lines. Like, they were taking on the back line, but also, like, passing when they needed to. And it just looked good. Like, it was good football. It was-- I was-- genuinely, I watched the game, and I was like, dang, that's some of the best football I've ever seen them play. And I was like, they look confident. They look cohesive. And give it up. Come on. And they look creative. Come on, guys. Like, no, they did everything right that they needed to in that game. And, I mean, we've both been in World Cups, and we know, like, that first game, you have the nerves. You've got to start strong. And that performance was like, okay, we've got a chance here. I love it. I love it. Well, I'll say it's about time the men started acting like the U.S. women out here. Started playing some damn footballs and soccer. How about it? There we go. We want the boys to win. We're behind them all the way. Yeah. 100%. You know, so, Alex, you were at the game? I was at the game. Ellie, were you there as well? Kansas City. She was going to come, and she prioritized coming to the show. You were feet on the ground. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was boots on the ground in Kansas City, watch party. Yeah, it was electric, as you like to say. So, how are the fans right now? Was it as crazy as you would have imagined it to be, being World Cup in America? Yeah, I mean, if the fans weren't hyped up enough before, then they are now. Like, that game, I think, like, turned. Everyone into fans. Like, we're turning on all the games, or we're watching the U.S. win here. Yeah, I feel like, like, that's what's so cool about the World Cup is that, obviously, in the stadium, an experience, right? But, like, across the country, all the cities turn up. They have their watch parties. I was in Kansas City, Power and Light District, and, yeah, we got Kansas City fans in here. Yeah, obviously. We got the Kansas City fans in here. Just checking. Just making sure. Just making sure. And Kansas City knows how to party. Come on now. Very much so. Come on now. I'm glad you're bringing up the Kansas City party that you were at, because there's a clip that we want to play. One of my problems, so I went to the World Cup in Brazil when the men played, and one of the things that stood out is how behind we are as a nation with chanting. Okay? I feel like. I saw this rant from you on social media. How does it feel on your end when I'm ranting about a game that I have no expertise in? Well, you're not necessarily ranting about the game. You're ranting about the chant. That's right. Like, you are. That's fair for you to do. Okay. You know, as a fan. Well, you encountered something that I think has some potential. Can we play this clip real quick? I agree. Yeah. George Washington. Oh, my God. How are you? George what? How are you? I'm living the dream. We just won the opener. How are you feeling on a scale of one to ten? A ten. We're bringing it home. As George Washington, what would you want to say to the team tonight? 13 stripes, 15 stars. Come on. Oh! I feel like that's our chant. That's our chant this year. George did not mince words, you know? Can we get this chant going right now? You guys in? Do we got it? That's a great chant. That is a great chant. Yeah. I'm surprised we got that quick, to be honest with you. I know. Because it's like, which ones come? The stars, the stripes? No, stripes first. Okay. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, yes. Once you do that, it's good. Yeah. How do you guys feel so far that the United States is doing as a host nation? I keep seeing all these awesome videos of people experiencing a lot of genuine American things for the first time. I live in Philadelphia. Ecuador completely took over the Philadelphia Eagles Stadium. There's just something about the World Cup that feels so much bigger than really any other sporting event. How do you feel like the U.S. is doing so far? I think really good. I think there was a lot of criticism. I think there was a lot of criticism leading up to the World Cup. Yeah. But like your experience in Philly, in San Diego, Switzerland, Switzerland has their home base there, and I play paddle or padel a couple times a week. I'm obsessed with it. Yes. So, if you guys haven't played, you've got to come out. There we go. I'm in. I'm just done for the first time. Look out. Seriously, that was really impressive, actually. I was like, oh, Jason's really athletic. What can't he do? He played professional football. But yeah, having them out at the paddle club that I'm a part of in San Diego, they want to experience things. So, it's not just the fans. It's the teams as well. So, I think we're doing a pretty damn good job. Awesome. Love it. Love it. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think we all had a little bit of anxiety around the World Cup, coming to the U.S., ahead of it, just not knowing how things are going to be. Yeah. Not knowing how things were going to go. You know, there were questions around host cities and stadiums and tickets and all this stuff. But it seems like everybody who's coming here is having such a good time. And I was so excited for the U.S. to welcome people and to show them the U.S. And I feel like that's actually happening. So, I'm pumped on that. Love it. Love it. Love to hear from two pros here. All right. Can we throw it back to the first time you guys were in the World Cup? We actually have some pictures here. If you don't remember exactly, you can go ahead and check them out. How about it? Look at the pictures. The pink. The pink. Was that a quarter zip? Those were my least favorite jerseys. To get those over your head and as a woman doing your hair, you're like, okay, now I got to redo it. It looks like, I don't know. What did we call those jerseys? They were. It wasn't. It wasn't good. It wasn't good at all. Yeah. Yeah. We were. We just. Does this. It happens for you guys when you're on your team. Like, you get presented with the jersey and they're like. Oh, yeah. It's the jersey unveiling. Oh, and you have all the cameras and you're expected to be like, oh, those are so sick. Yeah. And then. Sweet. Yeah. Just we had to be like, okay. These are fucking sweet. I was also not a good white on white guy. I needed like a dark up top white bottom. I needed to look nice and slim on the upper section. If I was white, I just looked like the Michelin man like we were talking about earlier. It wasn't a good look. Oh, we're going to unveil white on white jerseys. He's great. The man in the room is the most insecure about his stomach. It's the best. Every offensive lineman is miserable on game day when it's white on white. Just letting you know. We got one more pick up here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This was probably my 15 minutes of whatever the opposite of fame is. I went to this World Cup as an alternate. Like, I did not make the team. I got cut. And then Pia called and was like, somebody got injured. And she said, we need you. I'm just letting you know, you're coming as a bench warmer, like a cheerleader and a training player. And I was like. Soccer is fucking aggressive. Well, I was like. I was like, Pia, say less. Like, that's all. Like, I'm OK with that. Like, I'm down to go to the World Cup. So I get a jersey? Yeah. No, basically. Basically. And so these 15 minutes that I got in the game were the worst 15 minutes of my life. And I. Yeah, it didn't go well. But we prevailed. So that's OK. Yeah. My first World Cup experience wasn't like this. But me and Kelly, I think we've gone to every major tournament virtually together. Yeah. Ever since 2011, 2010. You guys had like a great core group of players that were together for a long time. How was it to be able to build that chemistry? And then, Alex, what was it like when you first got your call to join the national team? Like, what is that call like? It was the very first campus, Kelly. And then a couple months later, we got our first caps the same week, Kelly, in sunny San Diego. Yeah. I was warming up on the sideline for 90 minutes and never got the call. And I think the coach forgot to tell me to, like, sit down. Like, we were out of subs, but I was still warming up. We were out of subs, and you were still warming up. Yeah. She forgot about me. We're going to miss it. So then, we go to Salt Lake City, and it's 10 degrees and snowing. Dumping snow. Before, U.S. soccer doing great, treats the teams well. Back then, could care less about a snow plower or any sort of way to get the snow off the field. That was my first cap. I'm from California. Never played in the snow. Two feet of snow. Didn't know what the hell I was doing. Yeah, yeah. And I walked off the field, and the coach said, that was so funny. We were laughing at you the whole time. And it was, yeah, not great. You did snow angels. You were on for that, right? That was my most memorable moment. I did a snow angel when Abby scored. Yeah, for celebration for that game. Epic. Epic. Got to love a good snow angel. Very fitting, yes. How did it compare from playing in the World Cup to the Olympics? Is it similar? Does it change a lot? Just curious. Just curious from us. Everybody asks. Everybody always is like, what's better, World Cup or Olympics? But the reality is, they're completely different. Like, World Cup is, yeah. World Cup, the whole world stops and watches soccer or football for four weeks. Right. Olympics, you're on Team USA, and you feel like you're teammates with these other athletes that are competing in all these different sports. So, very different feelings. For me, when I was growing up, Olympics was like the thing. I don't really, I was, I liked soccer, but my first vision of, like, female athletes was Olympics. Yeah, sure. The 1996 gymnastics team. I was like, I'm going to do that. Yeah. And so, so for me, like, winning a gold medal was so cool. But then I understood, like, the gravity and the, you know, how, how amazing a World Cup win was when we went to 2015. But Olympics was sick for me. Yeah, I agree. I also want to say, like, for the Women's World Cup, like, the first year, I was like, the first World Cup was in 91 for the women. The first World Cup for men dates back 100 years. Longer. Farther back than 91. So, so, so for us growing, yeah. So, for us growing up, Olympics was definitely more memorable, because that's what we see, we saw women doing on TV, like, playing sports. That was the only time we got to see women playing sports. Right, yeah. Obviously, like, 99 was huge for me as a little girl playing soccer, but, yeah. - For sure. Um, but the 1996 Olympics was the first time I remember seeing female athletes on television. Gotcha. And so that's, that was why I was like, Olympics is the thing. I want to be an Olympian. I'm going to be an Olympian. Yeah. How do you guys feel? Do you wish that American football was in the Olympics? No, wait, flag football. Yeah. Flag football is going, we just found out. Are you coming, are you, are you coming out of retirement for flag football? I, I'm, I will. Because after that, come on, come on. Dude, you could be a wide receiver now. Unfortunately, I don't know that my skill set translates to flag football very well. Okay, you are very athletic. We just saw it. Well, we had the Hawk helping him out. Yeah. The, um, I would say this. We just kind of found out that, um, American flag football is a little different skill set than the actual football. Well, the flag team just beat a bunch, like Tom Brady and a bunch of former NFL players. So. Yeah. Now that is a different game. It's a different skill set a little bit. It's like mostly running. Yeah. It's. Much more. Yeah. Yeah. Not enough, not enough big guys out there, uh, imposing their will. Right. You know what I mean? I'm not going to lie. I don't know enough about it to really speak too much, but I, it does appear that it's much more agility based. Yes. These guys know the techniques on how to like swivel their hips and not get the flag pulled. So they have a leg up and all that. I do know a lot of NFL guys do want to play. Um, I, it'll be interesting to see who makes the American football flag football team. Um. I do, I will say unequivocally, I think every NFL player is very jealous of all the other sports. They get to represent their country. Cause that is something that like, we love watching just like you, Kelly, just like you, Alex, we grew up watching these moments in the Olympics. And like, it was so cool seeing people represent, uh, their country on the national, on the international stage, whether it was a world cup Olympics, whatever it was, those are some of the biggest moments from our childhood. And unfortunately, I mean, there's a lot of perks to football. That is one downside. Even more is that the summer Olympics are always right during our training camp. So that's like kind of the bonding that we have throughout camp to where we're like, as soon as we got off the field, we go straight over to the TV and everybody's huddled around the TV, watching all the, all the games going on and rooting for America in that way. So, uh, without a doubt, jealous that, uh, that we don't get to represent the country in that way, but, um, I guess never say never, you still have a chance to translate. I'll listen, I'll create the annexation of Puerto Rico. I'll coach some guys up. I might not have the hips to swivel around and nobody touched my flag, but I'll make the catch. I'll make the catch. You can also do handball. He's got smooth hips. What's that? Handball. Handball is another one. I can't throw. I don't know if you saw me try and throw a baseball last year. All right. I take it back. I went viral. It didn't go too well for me. That was pretty bad. Yeah, it was real bad. No way. My dad wasn't very proud. He taught me way better than that. Oh gosh. Did you practice at all? Cause I've thrown out a first pitch and I'm like weak. Before buying the glove, the ball, like I should have did that. You got to get it over the plate. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest by you. I, um, I didn't, I thought it was just like riding a bike and it would just come right back to me and it didn't. All right. We're going to, we're going to get back on track. Yeah. Winning. Yeah. I hear that. That sums it up pretty good. Next question. Do you guys have like a favorite host city out of the world cup? I mean, Paris, which was around this study, Paris, when we played France in the quarter finals, 2019 world cup, that was an insane game to play. Yeah. Like I remember, so we're playing the host country in Paris and I remember, I don't know if you, when we ran out to the field. So like you warm up on either side of the field. When we ran out, we were warming. We do part of our warmup bar at the beginning of the warmup on like a sideline. And in front of where we were warming up and that's like the most time and warmup where you're really taking things in, probably it was all Americans, all American flags, all America, like all Americans. And so I was like, oh my God, we're going to, we're rocking this place. Like we own this, like all of our parents, but then, but then I hear after the game and like once the whistle blows, I'm locked in, I don't, I'm not really paying attention after the game from all of our friends and family. They were like, no, no, no, no. That was this small of the stadium. Everything else was France. And. They were all scared for us because they were just like, we are outnumbered here and it was all France, but it was an insane game. It was the most fun and we won. Winning is fun. Checks out. Is there anything since soccer, football, as it is internationally known everywhere else is on the world stage right now. Is there something you want people that are taking in for the first time? What do you want people to take away while they're watching world cup for the first time? Is there something you want people to take away while they're watching world cup for the first time? Or just getting into the sport? I feel like a lot of people knock soccer because they're like, it's slow and there's not a lot of goals. Like, you know, football, your football, it's like you, you run over the line and you get six points, but it's really like one point. There have been games where I haven't even scored six points. So you can say that about everything. Yeah. So, you know, some football games are actually like three, two, you know, if you did soccer. I mean, it's like, oh my God, 21 to 28. She's not lying. So, and like, yeah, that's, that's fun. Yeah. But, um. Should soccer points be worth 10? Maybe, you know. And then it'd be like, they're scoring so much. Oh my God. That's such a good point. But it's, it's a beautiful game. It's a game that, you know, the culture around it is so, I think. I think inviting and exciting and like different, right? All these different countries bring a different element when they're cheering for their teams. They got their different chants. They have their different rituals, traditions. And it's just cool. Like, I think that sports is one of the most uniting things that we have. I'm into that. And to see the World Cup. Yeah. Like, the World Cup is that. But like, everybody. And that's, that's my favorite part about it. What do you think, um, it does feel like the U.S. is really, just their appetite for soccer. Women's and men's continues to get bigger and bigger every year. What do you think is the best way to continue to promote the game within the states? Like, just keep doing what they're doing. Like, is there something in particular so that we can continue to kick Paraguay's ass? Like, I don't really know. We don't want to kick Paraguay's ass. We want to kick, like, Spain and France and Germany. Fair enough. Fair enough. Yes. Yes. Yes. I know. Yeah. I know. I think it's, it's all about, like, the youth system. Because soccer is a sport that you really do start training. And I think it's, like, in a lot of ways been made as, like, a business. And I really want the youth system that's really fractured right now to, like, be repaired and really harnessed. Like, kids, like, growing up and giving, and giving them opportunities, more opportunities than exist right now. All right. I think it's really expensive for kids to play soccer. Well, the leagues especially, right? And all the travel and everything. Yeah. It's, it's hard if you, especially if you want to play at the high level. Yeah. I mean, in California, it's, it's pretty much, there's a country full of kids playing soccer in the state of California. Yeah. But for some reason, every other weekend, kids are traveling all across the country to play other clubs. Right. It's unnecessary. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. There you go. One of the biggest things that it, that was a part of my childhood and love of sports and fueled my, my fandom was, was inspiration. And I know you two ladies have inspired an entire country with your play. Out on the pitch. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, give it up for Alex Morgan and Kelly O'Hara. I'm going to go.

We told you guys we had three. We might have four. Four. We might have five. I bought it, baby. We got the big win in the house! Come on, baby! This is an L.A. show, so it is going to be involving Rams. Travis just alluded to the fourth guest. Our next guest is the 6'4 defensive end from Texas A&M. The number one overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, seven-time All-Pro, seven-time Pro Bowler, the record holder for most sacks in a single season, the reigning defensive player of the year. No way! No way! There he is! Miles Garrett! Miles Garrett! Woo-hoo! Let's go! Oh, loaded him up. I think they're happy right there. I'm a bad host. I'm a bad host. Oh! Upper deck, baby! All right. I love that man. Me too. Take that home to my kids. Oh! The man is so powerful. All right. Wow. The shirt exploded. That's how strong this man is. For all my Rams fans in here, who's out? Who's house? There we go. All right. Let's have a story. Oh. All right. Miles, we got to talk about one thing first. As two Cleveland Heights kids, be honest, the Pacific Ocean has nothing on Lake Erie, right? Lake Erie has its charm, but it's got nothing on the Pacific Ocean. Fair, fair. I'm sorry. We got the best beaches in the Midwest. It's about the people in Lake Erie. It's about the people over there. It's about the people. How's it feel so far? You've been here for what? A month? What? Been here for a day. I got in last night. Got it. All right. Got the mini camp. Yeah. Yeah. Knockdown mini camp. Thanks a big way. That was easy, right? Yeah. A couple meetings and canceled the rest. It was great. Thanks, Coach. There we go. What are you most excited about? Coming to L.A.? Y'all heard it. They said it. You can say it again. Say it one more time. There we go. Winning a Super Bowl. Long time Cincinnati Bengals. Big wit. Wit. Is there any player that was harder to block than the guy sitting right here? Listen. I am very thankful that I didn't have to take a lot of snaps against this guy. But it's like this, Jason. You've gotten into golf. So, Miles, just bear with me here. So, there's no pictures on the scorecard, right? So, here's how you treat it. You know this, right? If we've played one snap against you, then technically we can say we played against you. Yes. Yes. Right? Yes. Right? So, when people ask, I'm like, listen, luckily I got out of the league. I didn't have to play against Miles much. I did play him one time and he got one rush against me. Thank God the quarterback got rid of the ball in the second and a half. But just like in golf, there's no pictures on the scorecard. So, I can say that I did get to play against him and he didn't get a sack. Right? That's it, right? One time for one. One play for one second. So, he's on the list. As I always say, there's always a list. Who you face that didn't actually get a stat, you're like, hey, you know, technically he's on the list. Even though, you know, it's a very… 0 for 1. Yeah, 0 for 1. He still goes there, though. Well, it does appear, obviously, all the fans are very happy that you're in L.A. Yes. Another person very happy is Sean McVay. We have this photo. I don't think I've ever seen Sean McVay smile this big. That's so good. So good. Literally, the first day Miles comes in the building and they go do all their testing and all this, I call Sean. I'm like, hey, man, how are things going? Whatever. He's just glowing. And the first thing, everybody in the building, like this guy, the freak he is, as big as he is, as well as he can move. It's just, it's mind-boggling to watch this guy. I mean, when you watch him play as a tackle, it's reasons I say that I'm glad I'm not playing against this guy. For his size, his power, his ability to bend, to get off the line of scrimmage is extremely rare. It's not something you find every single day. So he is a rare human being who I know everybody in that building is really excited he's a part of this thing. Thank you. It really is mind-blowing. The way you bend the corner. It's not fair. Yeah, it really isn't. I still remember being with Joel Batonio up in… We had a joint practice with you guys. Yep. And after practice, Joel was like, do you believe that we're playing the same game as this dude? This is just like a completely different level athlete out here. And we're out here trying to… Jordan was having a great time. Yeah. Dude, that was… And Jordan is a great player. That was a rough practice for him. I mean, is there any tackle you look up in your… Who are the tacklers that give you the biggest issues? Is that fair? Does anybody? Gives me… I don't think in the last two years, I've looked at anyone on the schedule and be like, they're going to give me trouble. Yeah. That must feel good. Because they don't? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I mean, there are guys I have respect for. Of course. I respect Trent. I respect Jordan. Yep. My matchups with Laramie. I mean, there are definitely guys I look and I'm like, all right, this is going to be a fun one. But if not anyone I look at, I'm like, I got to do something different. Yeah. You're just going to play your game. I just got to be me. Yeah. That's a great answer. So, back to Cleveland. So, let's talk about how great Cleveland is again. Let's talk about how amazing Cleveland was for you. No, seriously. Have you been to the Rock Hall of Fame? As a kid from Cleveland, and obviously to grow up being Browns fans, I just want to say thank you for everything you did, not only for that city on the field, but off the field. You're Walter Payton Man of the Year kind of guy. The stuff you've done in that community to really build that community and make sure they felt your presence. I've always appreciated that as a Clevelander myself. I know what kind of impact that has. And I just wanted to say thank you for that. But also, in terms of coming to L.A., have you met the scheme? Have you met the D coordinators? Have you met the scheme? Have you found out, like, are you going to be doing crossovers on the center this year? We don't want to talk about that. Yeah, give us all the schematics. Slow it down. Just trying to get a game plan. We're going to be doing that for Christmas. Yeah. They got to write some notes down. They said I'll be all over the tight end on Christmas. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. All right, so we're going to multiple tight ends. You guys do have an awesome defensive line room. We do. It is pretty crazy. I know, obviously, verse, you swapped, but there's still Kobe Turner. There's still Fisk. There's still Young. There's still Young. Like, it is a very deep room. It's a special room. Yeah, are you looking forward to working with all those guys? Yeah, I mean, they're ready to rock and roll. And, you know, when I met the D coordinator, Shula, he was like, you know, we don't want you to be anything different. You know, you be yourself and help lead the guys. Please, just be you. Just be you. 23 sacks. Yeah, it's just good. Hey, we're going to be in the right direction. We're just firing you. Anything different. I'm just happy to go out there and be myself. I was worried they would have me stand up and, you know, maybe drop one or two times. But, no, they said we're firing you at all times. Yeah. Oh, thank God. He was not going to cover me. No, seriously. Out of the 23 sacks, the record-setting, record-breaking 23 sacks last year, of the 23, did you have a favorite? Ooh, I like this one. Did I have a favorite? Like, was there one you got up when you were just like, hoo-hoo? Ooh, I'm cold as a motherfucker. That might have been all of the Baltimore game. Because chasing Lamar's ass around is tough enough. But getting him four times was great. And so once I got him before the fourth time, I was like, well, I'm feeling myself today. Yeah, baby. Yeah. There it is. I can relate. I once scored four touchdowns in one game. They call that the Al Bundy. The Al Bundy. The old Al Bundy. I scored. I scored a touchdown in a game. Ooh, you got a little thick six? I have a tutty. Thick six. Yeah. Were you, like, eligible? Or did you come in as a tight end? In Pittsburgh on my birthday. Ooh. See, that's why you need to know the players' birthdays. That's it. You got to know. The coaches will call that shit. I promise you. You got a veteran tackle and it's their birthday, you got to know. That's a good bet. All of a sudden he's eligible? Rap King's bet. Oh, yeah. Alarm bell should be going off. Every week, my birthday is. Coming up, Coach Reid puts a play in the game plan called Catching Kelsey. I won't tell any of you what that is. Yeah, we want to go there. I mean, that's great for y'all. We were trying to fight for contention to make the playoffs around my birthday. I'm glad they were planning something special for y'all. Not as much fun happening in Cleveland. We do have some photos. Miles, we got a photo of you at the Dodgers game. We put this one up there. Going out the first pitch. Hey, where did this come from, dawg? Did you grow up in the Dodgers? - Did you grow up playing baseball? You humped that son of a bucket, man. - He did, I was very impressed. Like, four games of baseball in my life. Are there any other L.A. bucket list items you're looking forward to knocking off? Bucket list items? Anything in L.A. Venice Beach. Do not sit down on the park. Do not sit down on the park, man. I want to go to, like, the observatory. Yeah? Yeah. I want to go to the Peterson, like, car museum. I like that. There we go. I want to take some hikes. I like taking my camera out. Yeah, got to get on the hikes. The hikes, that's it. Got to get some canyon shots, you know? Take some hikes. You've been inhabiting L.A. longer. Oh, yeah. What is the must-do when you're in L.A.? Little Tokyo. Whoa. Tokyo, all right. See, that came out of nowhere. Yeah, I like that. Why Little Tokyo? Little Tokyo. I do love anime. I appreciate the shout-out. See? There you go. Wait, is the anime different in Tokyo? That's where it's from. Little Tokyo. Little Tokyo. Little Tokyo, Little Anime. Nice. Don't forget that. Little Anime. That was good. That was good. We have another photo here. That was a good shot. So, for those of you that don't know, this is Miles when he was in high school. Shut up. That's a goddamn grown man. Get his birth certificate. That's right. Wow. That was me with my starting offensive line. Wow. Well, I got to ask, this guy that's closest to you right here on your right, how far did he make it in football? Ben Jones. Ben Jones. Did you call the guy all the way on the right red? Ben Jones. No question. These guys were killing it in 10th grade, I tell you. There's only four of them. Did you eat the fifth offensive lineman? Confused. Obviously, the guy next to me got to him before I could. Yeah. How many sacks did you have that year? 100? All right, all right. 24 to be exact. We're going to move to a clip. We just brought this up a second ago, because as every center looked in horror after this happened, we're going to put this one up real quick. Oh, God. Oh, no. Joe. Run, Joe. So, first of all, I want to give Ted Karras some shout out. Ted Karras, the center for the Bengals, great player. This is horrifying. Yeah. At this point, you're screaming middle. Like, just help. Whatever you're going to do. I'm sliding this. That's why I'm going to give Ted so much. Yes, yes. A play back, a play back. Everybody squeeze. Just tell everybody on the line. Guys, it's not that bad. Are you kidding me? What are you doing? I can only imagine what's going on in Ted's head right now. Holy shit. That's what he said. I didn't see this on tape. He knows the snap count. He can play the game. I'm just happy for him. Snap count ain't helping him right there, I can tell you right now. Jason couldn't stop my fucking hook shot. Nothing exudes confidence like doing crossovers right before the ball is snapped. Yo, if I see that and I'm a center, the ball not getting snapped. Yeah. We're just going to test the snap. False start. False start. I missed the snap count, coach. That's so true. What's crazy is that I've actually seen you play basketball a lot. I do. He's a big hooper. I've seen him in Cavaliers. And you literally look like a Monstar in a Cavaliers jersey. Growing up, was that something that you felt helped translate into the football field? Or did you seriously take basketball serious in terms of something that you wanted to pursue? I love basketball. That is my first love as far as sports. My dad played. My brother played professionally. So I grew up watching him, but also training with him. And just working on my explosiveness, trying to dunk, but also that lateral quickness. Getting from left to right with the defensive slides or, you know, that first step off a dribble. And I think that all translates. You know, Lisa, stuff like that. There you go. That's all we had to do. That man brought the Ivors and Crossover to the NFL. That's what was holding me back. That was it. That's all. We needed more of that, Jay. That's what it was. Put your kids in basketball, is what I heard. Yeah. Play it all, baby. Play it all. And baseball is easy, obviously. Witt. Witt, you are. You are. Hitting a ball is fine. Hitting a ball is the hardest thing in all of sports. Yes, yes, yes, yes. We're trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball. Witt, you're a multi-sport athlete as well. Obviously, you golf now, but you were a tennis player growing up, right? I wasn't. I remember talking about this with you. Are you a big multi-sport believer as well? I am a big multi-sport believer. The tennis story is a little bit of a stretch, but listen. I won a tennis camp when I was like 11. I might have stretched that story a little bit to the school. I was a director when I was at LSU. And when I won a tennis camp, I was like 11. I went to the combine team, started asking me about being a junior tennis champion, and I was like, shoot, I might have doubled down. Junior? I was the senior tennis team. I might have stretched that story a little too much. No, you guys got to double down at that point. Yes, I am. Yeah, I was. Look it up. There's no records. All right, we have another video that we're going to play. We have more. I mean, you got a lot of good highlights. We got to use them. This is from a game. Holy shit. I beat him on a clearance inside last series. Jordan! Jordan! Y'all really be snitching like that, too. Oh, my God. You're kidding me? The funny thing is, too, and you know this. This man's playing a different game, man. The only way he's getting that out that quick is if he knows he's going to get beat before it even happens. He's like, oh, crap, I'm one-on-one. Run, Jordan, run! Like, he's preemptively had that in his head. Like in Happy Gilmore when Happy's about to get hit by that little water beagle. Happy, watch out! That's it. You got to scream. It does blow my mind how many teams I see not adjust game plans sometimes. I mean, most teams do. Yeah. Right? But the fact that, like, you're getting any one-on-one matchups ever. Like, it just, like, why would you give somebody the opportunity to ruin a game? That was, like, my first of three singles in that game. Really? And we wasted it on him scrambling. Like, I don't throw it into the dirt. So you're kind of like Barry Bonds when they would just intentionally walk him all day. And then they throw to him one time. It's like, boom! Oh, yeah, we're going to go back to walking him. I need one pitch. What would your game plan be against a rusher like this? Probably spending a lot of time that week just yelling at the quarterback about where he was going to stand in the pocket every play and how fast the ball had to come out. Because I've got to have one way to win, right? So, all right, if he beats me around the edge all game, I'll take it. You've just got to get the ball. It's got to be out of your hand. So let's pick a depth and let's do it, right? So I'm all over the quarterback all week. That way, if I ever do get beat inside, I just scream his name like that. Because that means you're screwed. I hate it. I hate it when you guys are in sync. You know, if you beat a guy, you beat two guys, and you're like, all right, quarterback's thinking I can stand wherever I want. But facing a guy like Drew Brees or like Joe, he's like, yo, I'm going to be at five yards. Just don't lose within five. It kills me. Yeah. That's the whole point, Miles. You're not the quarterback. I'm already going through two, three guys. The least you can do is like stand at eight yards. That's not my problem. You know what's funny is A.D. used to do the same thing. A.D. would get mad at me. He'd be like, Kelsey, he's a grown man. Why are you coming over here and helping him? I'm like, I'm not going to let you ruin the game, Aaron. I'm talking about him. He's got a family and a mortgage. No, I don't. We've got families and mortgages, too. My kid's got to eat, too. Jason's got four of them. So we did just bring up A.D. Ooh. This is what I'm here for. Those of you that don't know A.D., he's talking about Aaron Donald, the other MVP of the NFL, the other guy that also won a championship for the Rams, and he's sack god. Keep going, Jason. Has there been any contact? Any correspondence? Yeah. Whoa. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. He's a Chiefs fan. Oh. Got it. Do it after December 1st. Or just any other fan of the NFL. I don't want to press him. Why not? Because I want him to find his heart. I'm pressing him full court. I'm just telling you all right now. Yeah. All right? That's why I'm with him every day. Now that I'm fully retired, I really want to see it. Are you just going to unleash this on everyone else? Yes. I'm going to watch in great happiness knowing that I am not out on the field trying to deal with that. That's pretty fucked up, Jason. He walked away from the game feeling so fulfilled. Like, man, I've done everything. I've won everything. I done beat everybody. It's like, all right, I don't need anything more. If he looks up, he's like, huh, I might need another one. And he's like, M.G., you want to run it? Sure, why not? I mean, where was the Super Bowl last time he won it? I mean, go two for two at SoFi sounds kind of fun. I don't think he should come back. Why not? I think he's good, guys. I think he's good. He's hanging around, enjoying life. There's a lot to do. Look at Jason. Jason's out of the house doing shit. He's dunking. A lot of shit you could do. Yeah, he's dunking. He's never dunked before. Playing goalies, soccer. Look at this, Jason. That's what Aaron's doing. He's done everything in the NFL. There are two people I think of that when people ask me routinely, like, who are the toughest people you blocked? Thankfully, I never had to block you. Very happy about that. Aaron Donald really didn't have to block him either. I was double-teaming with the guard almost every single time. Those, you are the two players who really have been been the most game-changing defensive lineman in this era of football to think that both of you might be on the same line with the rest of that fucking rams defensive line not fair i went like it's not like everybody else is just like chopped liver yeah our other guys other guys are special fucking dogs yeah we gotta start teaming up as linemen i don't think anybody would be at all as feared this is what's happening zero all right chance jason and big wit if aaron donald comes out you guys got to come and play for the chiefs you already got a good center you don't need no more help at center can we just bring water to everybody my insurance is up after this year so hey that's a big milestone you're five i lose my health insurance i mean just tell andy you know what i mean one game yes i do i do want to know because obviously 23 fucking sacks you've been a game changer since you're the first overall fucking pick who was it on the d lines in the in growing up did you model your game after or who did you take things from um where did it all start to where you really got the wheels turning you were like oh man i can do this if i just you know do something that he does or you know i can do this if i just you know do something that he does or take things from um where did it all start to where you really got the wheels turning you're going to take from this person and that person or was it all just like i'm gonna fucking cross over everybody um von miller yeah there you go i still think von miller is the most aesthetically pleasing pass rusher i've ever seen as far as like what he can do how he like orientates his body the ghost ghost rush i mean he can do pretty much any move and if he didn't have the injury that he had he would still be leading the nfl for his tenure as far as sacks i got the hand i got the answer that bell numerous times and that i did not answer that bell very well uh von miller's a motherfucker man he he's he can like you're talking about how this guy can had power and agility he had the whole bit um not to say he doesn't anymore any great dude he ended up uh torturing me for my first project and i'm like oh my god i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this probably six years of my career uh and then uh and then came over to me one day shook my hand i was like yeah he's a nice guy he had the glasses on he wanted to talk about chicken there you go yeah he's got the chicken chickens loves his chicken farm that's for sure can i can i ask him a question please initiative so miles talk to me in your short time in la right you've only been in the locker room and in the building a little bit what's been your takeaway so far of coming to this place like you come obviously a place a lot of people think a lot of expectations this is a place where you're not there just your your impressions like of sean of the of the building of the kind of what you've experienced well first i'll say no they they were telling me that la isn't a football town but the reception we've been getting it's amazing so thank you secondly the the environment in that building is second to none like the the way those guys rally around each other um the chemistry that they have the the work ethic like you see it every day and uh no they they know exactly who they are and uh know what their expectations are for this year and it's like they're they're locked and loaded and they looked at me as just another bullet in the gun and and we're ready to go i love it makes me excited yeah miles before we get you out of here we um we always ask all of our first time guests man what was their welcome to the nfl moment you've probably had a bunch of moments uh that was everybody else's welcome to the nfl moment uh but was there a welcome to the nfl moment or bad or you know just uh life-changing for you welcome to the nfl moment i wouldn't say there was like a like a play where somebody just whipped my ass but i remember i was going against taylor luan it was my first year and i knew he was bending the rules a little bit you know from what i had heard smart player smart player smart player we call that a wild veteran in the o-line up and it's like uh it's it's like first and and 10 and i line up tight i know that the run's coming they got freaking derrick henry at that time and he he's no gets into a stance he looks at me and spits right in my face wow whoa whoa welcome right to the nfl and i was like i promise next time i see you i'm gonna whip your ass damn wow that's taylor sounds like taylor there goes a very crazy story uh i gotta i gotta go sorry that happened one day we hear taylor wands dead outside the street we know what happened right he finally found him that intentional yeah you did that on accident yeah well outside of that what what does it what's something a tackle does that really gives them the best chance of blocking you god thank god is it getting off the ball is it holding what about a tight end i'm sorry you're starting to question these questions i don't know what's happening here well you have been world traveling let me let me switch it out of football you have been world traveling what is what is some of the funnest like stuff that you've done just this year alone overseas we've kind of seen you all over the place but um just in terms of this off season before you came back and shocked the world with the move to the rams uh what have you been enjoying the most out of this off season i was chloe kim oh yeah well i mean there we go yeah went to the olympics was in um italy for the first time watch her do amazing um i was so proud of her it was entirely too stressful being on the other side of things yeah are you behind the camera you're taking shots and you're like freezing up because you're like yo she's 20 feet in the air she's coming so close to this freaking edge i'm gonna have to run out there i'm gonna slide down the the half pipe yeah yeah yeah so it was it was way too stressful but she did amazing i was we were all so proud yeah baby and then we went to uh japan and korea together that's awesome this brings up another conversation that i've seen your name involved with basketball yeah i am very much on record that i think that basketball players could assimilate to football easier than football players can go to basketball you're one of the names i see brought up a lot that people think that you could go play in the nba do you think you could play in the nba if i lost about 30 pounds to keep up with the conditioning absolutely i think i could cut that and do that with this guy jump i have no question that he could do yeah now i've seen i've seen the in between the legs done i just don't see we are i don't see let's look i'm gonna shut this down right now we cannot lie liability ways take on him trying to dunk that is not happening all right we don't have thematic questions and now we're trying there is not a chance i'm letting that one go i will block it now we're trying to hurt that i wasn't booked for a skit today i'm sorry yes yes yes jason i think he might be the anomaly huh i don't think football world i think he might be the anomaly that could do both yeah there are more athletic specimens as far as like explosiveness and being able to to move in a variety of ways in the nfl i mean we take our vertical tests flat-footed and we're at the same time we're at the same time we're at the same time we're at the usually higher than the guys in the nba and i'm not saying that's all there is everybody's short-arming that vertical test you know that miles you're not short short-arming it by eight inches that's fair but you see all these athletic freaks and even though they're usually like i mean you see dk he's six five you see me i'm six five but you see no dbs who are jumping 47 46 and they're they're six one six foot you tell me those guys if you didn't give them enough training with them and be a uh maybe a six man or rotational guy yeah rotational guy i i just don't believe marcus smart can line up in the three tech part of five and do what i'm doing i think marcus is playing a lot like taylor lawan though he's doing some yeah and i got respect for mark he didn't grow up far from where i was born yes i'm running through his fucking face there you have it ladies and gentlemen miles garrett and andrew whitworth you guys enjoyed the show tonight i got it i know i did guys i cannot thank you enough for coming out here

thank you guys enough the last time i was in la uh jason And I went down the street, and I was a very picky eater. And there was a bit that came out on New Lights not too long ago about how I liked airplane noises when I ate. Yeah, it's kind of fucked up, actually. Like I was a child. A child getting fed food. So we have a fun clip for you here. I feel like, and we won't use this in the episode, but I feel like Taylor has definitely expanded your. I gotta use it. You can fucking use it. There's nothing wrong with that. I feel like there's nothing wrong with it. He's more adventurous with food. Yeah, I'm not trying to act like one of the men when I'm around her and eating foods I haven't tried before. When she does the little airplane noises, I like it.
