Hello? Listen to my voice talking to you about the new Old Spice NFL collection at Walmart. Now listen to my smell. I smell like NFL stars Jared Goff, CD Lamb, Saquon Barkley, CJ Stroud and George Kittle. I smell like greatness. Why? Because I'm wearing Old Spice's new NFL collection. How can you put the greatness of the NFL into a smell, you ask? You can't. But Old Spice can, and they did. Smell like suntall and speed, driftwood and drive.
A
See?
B
Ties and toughness with the Old Spice NFL collection available at Walmart. Smell like the greatest smell in the NFL With Old Spice.
A
We're laughing. We can laugh at this now because he's okay.
B
Yeah, bro.
A
I have never seen that cart before, ever.
B
Me neither, bro.
A
And I wish you could watch Austin Powers, dude, because there's this one. There's this one scene in one of the. I forgot which one it was, but he's in a golf cart, bro. And he is going. It's just hilarious.
B
I was dying watching him ride up the tunnel after I saw the video after the game.
A
It was like a forklift, bro.
B
This big ass just sitting on the car.
A
Change it to his profile picture.
B
Oh, no. I seen that.
A
I've never seen anything like that before. I don't even know where they, like, took him, though. Like, what?
B
They must, like, must be like an elevator back there or something to get back up to our locker room. Maybe.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know.
A
But he's fine.
B
Yeah, we're good.
A
We're good.
B
Tough son of a gun. Welcome back to exciting mics presented by citizens. I'm Cooper DeJean.
A
And I'm Reed Blankenship. And we're back after a road win in Green Bay in the tundra. And we're looking forward to another great episode.
B
Remember to follow exciting mics on all platforms like comment, share and subscribe on YouTube or wherever you listen to your podcast. Let's get it started. We're going to start this podcast.
A
Hey, look at that tick, bro.
B
That's how we do every single week with. What's exciting you this week? Another W. What's exciting me? Look at this picture from Reed B.
A
Look out, man. Look at that sweatshirt, though.
B
Look how excited he is to. To go travel to Green Bay to play in the 20 degree weather. Boys got a dub, though. We did, bro.
A
That was a cool experience though, right?
B
It was. It was cool, yeah. Really cool. Stadium was. Was sweet. Real old school. The. The metal bleachers. It was.
A
It was.
B
It was a cool experience. Yeah, it was. It did look massive.
A
It was massive.
B
And like, the drive in, bro, the drive into it, you're like driving, and then all of a sudden the stadium pops up out of nowhere, bro. I swear, driving through a regular town.
A
I swear it felt like I was going on a high school game. We was only missing the yellow school bus, you know?
B
I know. I saw like five yellow school buses on the way on the drive in, bro. It's crazy.
A
We didn't even get any, like a real police escort. We had to, like, stop at every stop sign, every red light.
B
It took us about. Took us about an hour to get there from our hotel because the hotel we stayed at was. That was the closest one we could. We could stay at to the stadium, I guess. So.
A
I don't know.
B
But took us about an hour. But the boys got the dub. Boys got the dub. Gritty win.
A
Gritty.
B
Three straight wins for the boys. Had a tough one this past week in Green Bay, but I feel like, you know, we're. That's. That's just what this team is. We're finding ways to win. And that's. That's a good thing about it.
A
Yeah, kind of. Regardless of what's going on, you can't. Can't point fingers, bro. That's when you. You go downhill. That's not a team.
B
Yep.
A
I mean, the way we played last night, that's. That's a team. I mean, regardless of what happens, man, we got each other's back.
B
Mm. No doubt. I think, bro, that the atmosphere in. In Lambo, it felt. I don't know, it was. It was kind of a Interesting atmosphere. I didn't. I couldn't really tell if it was.
A
One way or the other.
B
Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know.
A
Did it feel. So I got a question. You know how in Brazil, when we played them, it was like you didn't know who they were cheering for, really. It was like constant, like, yelling. What? I felt like that. I mean, I felt like you had that because I didn't know who was cheering, who wasn't then. Plus, you look, it's a green team. We're green. So you don't know. Yeah, it's the jerseys in the stadium. You know, it's different, but. But I heard we traveled well, I mean, as much as you could because of what's going on.
B
Definitely heard the booze, though. Whenever they started booing, I heard those. Yeah, that's always fun, though. But that was. I mean, Lambeau Field is probably. I think it's a place everybody dreams of playing. And it was. It was.
A
I didn't know. I didn't know you had to walk down the steps, like, walk down stairs, through the tunnel.
B
That's like old.
A
Old school.
B
Yeah, no, I thought it was sweet. The whole, like, everything about it. The locker room to the walk down and. And out onto the field, and then, bro, that stadium. I didn't realize how big the stadium was either.
A
And it's weird because, like, I don't. What. I don't know what other stadium is, like, fully, like, wrapped around. I don't know what other stadium. Like, that top my head, but, like, it made it look ginormous. And obviously driving in, you could see the. The scoreboard, like, through the trees. Scoreboard was huge. Or the. Whatever you call it.
B
Uhhuh. And I think. I think seeing it at night too, was. Was even cooler. And it was cold. It was a little chilly.
A
It was a little chilly. I think it was just because we weren't really prepared for it because it's been. It's been warm in Philly. Yeah, it's been a little warm.
B
It has. We. I mean, I knew it was gonna be cold, but I didn't know it.
A
Was gonna be windy like that.
B
Yeah, no, but I think as the game went on, you kind of get used to it. You're sitting on the heated bench, you got the jackets and stuff.
A
Jack is the Jackie. You make a little, like, turtle shell.
B
Yeah.
A
Under the. Under the heat.
B
Oh, yeah, yeah. That was.
A
That's pro. That's pro level stuff.
B
So that. That always helps keep it. Keep the body warm.
A
It was a slow guy. We could say it's a slow game, but it was in our favor. It was a defensive game.
B
Yeah. Defensive battle.
A
When it's a low scoring game, it's definitely a defensive battle.
B
Just going back and forth, trading, trading stops, you know, and in our offense came up with a big touchdown there in the. I think it was the third quarter, third or fourth quarter, but that was. That was huge for us. And obviously you hate to give up points as, as a defense, but I mean, seven points as a defense and.
A
I can live with that, I think.
B
And we, we scored 10, so that's, that's all that matters.
A
More than seven. I know.
B
That's all that matters. It was, I thought it was fun though. I thought it was fun just being able to go back and forth and you know, being in a, being in a battle like that puts, puts the pressure on you as a defense and I think, I think he liked that.
A
Yeah, we were having fun on the sideline.
B
Oh yeah.
A
Just chilling chat, like chopping it up.
B
Yep. Together. Yeah.
A
Obviously we were what, zero to zero the first half. You don't, you don't want to be the first team to like break, you know, like, I mean, how do you feel? Like, do you have any pressure with that? Do you feel any pressure with that?
B
I mean, you feel a little bit of pressure, but I feel like you kind of like that.
A
Yeah.
B
As a defense, I mean that's your job is to, is to stop the other team from, from scoring, you know, and that's what, that's what we had to do. I mean that's just the way the game, you know, kind of shook out and it was, I mean, 00 the whole first half and then we got the field goal in the third quarter and then the touchdown and then unfortunately gave up a touchdown. But I mean, I mean it's tough.
A
It'S tough to shut out teams. It's tough to shut out NFL teams. But I mean, obviously we got to do better of not letting them drive on us like that on the hurry up situations or scenarios. But I mean holding them under, holding that offense under 300 yards is still, is still a win.
B
Yeah, I mean that's, that's in, that's crazy for any team in.
A
Yeah.
B
In the NFL especially. I mean an offense like that who, who's been, been playing well. But I feel like we had a good plan, good plan going in. You know, obviously there are some plays we wish we would have had back, some couple explosives probably, but you know that's.
A
Teams are going to hit those. Teams are going to hit those. But some of the boys were back. I mean, you got B.G. nolan and we added a new edge.
B
Mr. Phillips, baby. Man, my boy was playing hard, brother. No, it was, it was great to have BG back to hearing his energy and Nolan too.
A
It just felt right. Didn't that just sit on the side? Just felt right.
B
Felt like we had, we had all the boys back together. Yeah, it was. It was awesome. Then he throw Jalen in there. Jalen Phillips, the way he played.
A
I mean, Jalex had a freaking phenomenal game.
B
Jalex did too.
A
Our D line, Our D line went crazy.
B
Yeah, they played. They played well. It was. It was good to see. It was good to see. Let's talk about the end of the game, man. The end of the game was. It was crazy. It was kind of crazy.
A
You don't really know. Like, you get Jalen Phillips in the backfield, the, the fumble, fumble recovery. You're thinking as a defense, hey, we're done. You know, game's done. Let's go do the tush. Pushing end zone. And I'm out of breath cause I'm running around. But you know, things happen that.
B
Yeah, that big fourth down stop, fourth and one, Morrow calling out the play at the line of scrimmage.
A
Did you hear him?
B
I did not. No, I didn't hear him. I was on my man, so I didn't. I didn't hear him at all. But I'm. I think those, those guys up front heard him. I mean, that's all that matters. Yeah, they came off that line. Yeah, bro, they did. That was. It was crazy to watch it back and hear him just screaming it out. And he would play. I guess he got a tip from earlier in the game, I think when they were down in. Down in the red zone or something like that from one of the offensive linemen. And he called it out, which was.
A
Which was huge.
B
Smart, smart. And we got Jalen Phillips making an impact right away. He had the. He had a fumble recovery. I think he. Do you have a tfl?
A
Maybe he had tfl. I don't know if his stats were really good. I mean, you got a game ball out of it, so.
B
Yeah, he was, he played. He played really well for us, you know, we're happy to have him. Happy to have him here.
A
That's right. And dude.
B
Oh yeah. Whenever you get a good player like that to help your team is. Is always a. A good thing. So it was good to see him. Him out there and quick turnaround too. I mean, he had what, one week to one week?
A
Yeah. But the good thing is he did play in the system in Miami in 23. Yeah, I'm sure. I don't know how much he remembers of it, but obviously a lot.
B
So that definitely. That definitely helped out. And then we get to late in the game, we get the fumble recovery on 4th and 1, we give the ball back to our offense, they go for it on fourth down. We. We think we're done as a defense.
A
We're done, man. Start untaping my wrist. I'm like, oh, we about to go back out.
B
Then the ball falls incomplete, and the packers get another chance. So we're. We're back out there and back out. Man, I thought Drew was going to end it on that. On that first down play. That deep shot.
A
He's got to go from this to this.
B
This.
A
Just do this because he got up, bro.
B
He did get up.
A
He got up.
B
So they. They called timeout. They were lined up for a field goal. They called timeout. They let the kicker kick the ball.
A
Well, see, okay, question. Can he do that? I don't think he can.
B
I don't. I don't understand how he can do.
A
That because obviously, you. You call a timeout fast enough so he doesn't get a free kick. So that was before the ball was even snapped. So the refs just let him kick it? Like, isn't. I don't. I don't know. I feel like that it's definitely.
B
It's definitely not supposed to happen, I don't think.
A
No. So did. Okay. Did they bring their offense back out so he could warm back up?
B
I don't know if it was that or if they were trying to, like, see if they could sneak a couple extra yards.
A
Yeah.
B
Against us to try and try and get.
A
How deep was that. How deep was that pass on the sideline?
B
It was like three yards.
A
Was it three yards? Okay.
B
Yeah, something like that. I really thought they were just gonna go Hail Mary.
A
I thought it was. Dude, I was ready for it.
B
But they. They tried to get a couple extra yards. They threw it out of bounds, and then they brought him back out to. To try and kick it, and it was just wide left. A little wide left, and boys came away with the W. So that's. That's all that matters. But shoot, I was. I was thinking we were done, then we're back out there.
A
But, bro, I had somebody come up to ask me if I needed oxygen. I was breathing so hard. I guess I was holding my breath the whole time. I don't know.
B
We were just chasing those guys all over the field all game.
A
I was so tired, bro, you looked at. You looked at me during the game. You just hands on your hills like this. So you good, bro?
B
Bro, I'm just. Because I was running back and forth, these guys are running across the field on me.
A
The grab routes, the Jags route, everything.
B
It was. We won, though. That's all that matters.
A
Yeah, man. You know, we scored more than they did.
B
Let's. Let's check out these celebrations. We're gonna have to. Bro, we're gonna have to start planning some celebrations because, well, I feel like we say it.
A
We say what we're gonna do, and then nobody does it. Everybody just stands there.
B
What did we say we were gonna do?
A
I thought we was just gonna do like.
B
Oh, that. Let's, let's. Let's see. This is after Jaylen's fumble recovery, I think. Yeah, Jaylen Phillips, he threw the ball up in the air.
A
Straight up in the air. 27. This your quinan. Hey, go back because watch. Watch Drew. You gotta watch Drew.
B
Q just like spiked the ball for no reason.
A
Watch Drew.
B
Watch Drew.
A
Everybody just stands there.
B
That's hilarious.
A
I don't know.
B
We'll play. We'll get something planned out so we. So we don't look like idiots next time. And then Jalex after his sack or after his TFL almost kills the ref, bro.
A
That song. That's strike too, dude. He almost did that in the Super Bowl.
B
He did almost do that in the Super Bowl. That was.
A
He might connect. Oh.
B
You almost got him. Luckily they're not, bro. That would have hurt. He was coming in full speed. It is time for the citizens play that matters most this week, I think is that fourth in one stop with a minute 30 to go in the game against the Green bay Packers. I think it was a huge stop. Obviously we were up three points at that point. They were driving kind of. They had a couple plays and we got em to fourth down. Boy, Reed got the force fumble and the fumble recovery. That was big time. Turned the ball over and then, you know, we gave our offense the ball back but obviously we had to go back out one more time. But I mean, that was. That was a huge stop.
A
They burnt some time for us, so.
B
Yeah, they burned. They burned a lot of time for us to. To go back out there and. And ultimately seal it there. So. And shout out to Mo calling out the play. The boys up front got off the line and got the back.
A
That's the citizens play that mattered most. Visit citizens online@citizens bank.com made ready and make sense of your money with citizens member fdic.
B
All right, let's, let's. Let's give some some game balls here. Do you have your fumble recovery hanging up behind you, Reed?
A
No.
B
You haven't got it yet.
A
I haven't got it yet.
B
Pete, we got to get you on that.
A
Come on Peter. Nah, I need it.
B
Pete's got the game ball.
A
Smitty.
B
Smitty. Yeah, smitty for sure. Nine catches, nine catches of 20 plus yards this season. I feel like he's caught that, that post ball about shoot three times this year.
A
Yeah, John got one too. He's slippery, bro.
B
Yeah, he is. But that was, that was a big play obviously.
A
Yeah. Codeine. Nakobe.
B
Nakobe with the sack and the force fumble.
A
Yeah, he bought out too, bro.
B
Jalen. Jalen Phillips first, First game making an impact the way he was getting after the quarterback.
A
So nice. It's so nice.
B
I mean it's always good to have a good D line, you know.
A
Dude, it's big time.
B
How about Lane? How about Lane Johnson? Did you see, have you seen that video of him riding that car?
A
So okay, we're laughing. We can laugh at this now because he's okay. Yeah, bro, I have never seen that cart before, ever.
B
Me neither, bro.
A
And I wish you could watch Austin Powers, dude, because there's this one, there's this one scene in one of the. I forgot which one it was, but he's in a golf cart, bro. And he is going. It's just hilarious.
B
I was dying watching him right up the tunnel after I saw the video after the game.
A
It was like a forklift, bro.
B
This big ass just sitting on the car.
A
Change it to his profile picture.
B
Oh no. I seen that.
A
I've never seen anything like that before. I don't even know where they like took them though. Like what?
B
They must like there must be like an elevator back there or something to get back up to our locker room maybe. Yeah, I don't know.
A
But he's fine.
B
Yeah, we're good.
A
We're good.
B
Tough son of a gun.
A
You know what makes sense to us? The field. Those Hail Mary plays that seem impossible. We know what made them possible.
B
Totally. Football makes sense. Anticipating the run because when the far side wide out goes in motion, these guys always run it up the middle. That makes sense. But not everything does. Like money. How much should you have in savings?
A
Should you use your first paycheck to buy a life size marble statue of yourself?

A
Any night game. Yeah, any night game.
B
Turned turnt up.
A
You got the lights. The lights are crazy. The fireworks are crazy. Hopefully the Eagles back flying.
B
And I think. Yeah, I think teams get excited too to to play in the link on on primetime games because they know the environment's going to be insane, right? Insane because it is. It is bg. You think we're going to get announced home game back. It was offense last time, right?
A
Oh so the boys. It's going crazy.
B
People are going to go crazy for BG when they run down that tunnel as they should. It's going to be. It's going to be in insane. Let's talk about the NFC though. The NFC's. I mean everybody's kind of no one's really separated, stepping away from the pack. Half The NFC is 6 and 4 or better.
A
Usually you have somebody kind of separating like around this time, But I know NFC's turning up this year.
B
Yeah, there's. There's a lot of good. I mean, a lot of good teams. Yeah, a lot of good teams and a lot of games that could go one way or the other.
A
Regardless. Regardless of the record, this NFL. Yeah. Does it matter?
B
No, it doesn't. So we'll, we'll see what, what shakes out here. But we got the Lions coming to town. Their offense, Jared Goff and Co. Obviously, they got a lot of talent.
A
Sonic and Knuckles.
B
Yeah, a lot of talent on their offense with their, their backs and their receivers as well. Dan Campbell's calling the plays now starting. I think it started last week where he, he's calling and they scored 44 points.
A
Feel pretty good coming off of a high score game like that, I would assume.
B
Yeah, yeah, 100%. I mean, we're gonna have our, have our hands full with, with that offense, but yeah, I don't think, obviously they switch play callers, but I feel like there's. I mean, when you got an offensive head coach, I feel like he's pretty involved. He's kind of involved in play calling.
A
I would assume so. I wouldn't say it depends.
B
I wouldn't say they're just like completely flipping the script and changing everything.
A
I mean, we're not in there, so we're just going off of whatever.
B
It probably just changes. Changes the way some certain situations are called. Would be. Would be my guess. But yeah, we'll what, get prepared. Preparing for them. We got a short, short week, obviously, but they gotta, they got a good run game, so we gotta. We're gonna have to be. Be ready for that.
A
Stop the run.
B
How it is every week. That's. That's football. Number one goal. Stop the run and then, then play the pass. So it should be, should be a good one for, for Sunday night. Excited for it.
A
Exciting.
B
ATL in the league. We got some matchups coming up this Sunday.
A
Chiefs and Broncos. Ooh, Bucks at Bills. Ooh, hot. Going to cold.
B
Seahawks. Rams.
A
Oh, that's gonna be a good one.
B
And the Lions and the Eagles. Oh, that's us.
A
That's us.
B
That's nice. Cool. A lot of good games going on this, this week within, within divisions. Obviously Bucks and Bills aren't divisional, but that still should be a good game.
A
Yeah.
B
You think, which, which conference do you think's tougher now? AFC or NFC feel like making a push for it. Yeah. I feel like AFC has been tougher the last few years. Yeah, it's the way it seems. But I mean, last year there was.
A
I know, it's weird. It's weird. I don't. It's. It's a weird thing because, I mean, so I just said, like the NFL. You don't know.
B
Yeah. You don't know. I mean, I feel like it could go. I feel like there's a lot of good teams this year.
A
There is actually a lot of good squads, but I think NFC is making a big push forward this year.
B
Records. Records might not show it, but there's a lot of good teams. A lot of good games, too. A lot of good teams, playing good teams. So, yeah, honestly, it's hard. It's going to be exciting. We just got to keep playing. Got to keep playing good ball, you know.
A

A
Meet me at the mall. It's going down. I got. I got a few of them.
B
Maybe God's Plan by Drake. I used to listen to that sound all the time.
A
I think every. Yeah, I think everybody did in high school especially.
B
That's probably mine. I don't know. Reads Reed's probably cooler than mine, but.
A
Well, that was back in the day. Well, I say back in the day.
B
What about you? Do you have one?
A
I have three.
B
Oh. I'm trying to look for songs, but I got bad.
A
What's your three?
B
Big X. The Plug. The largest. Oh, okay.
A
I like that.
B
Came out Fire It. Just Wanna Rock by Lil Uzi and then probably Drip Too Hard by Little Baby. Yeah.
A
Ain't bad.
B
I like that. That's not. Expecting any of those. I'm sure I was. Not, to be honest. But that's okay. Those are three great choices. Yeah. By you. Yes. That's awesome. Well, we appreciate you joining us. Yeah, thank you so much. That's a great question. Appreciate it. Go Birds. I will do this for you guys. Go Birds. Yes. We needed that. Thank you so much, guys. Thank you. Appreciate it. All right, our next guest for our fan Q A is our guy, Ray. What's up, brother? How we doing? What's. What's up, guys?
A
How's it going?
B
Where are you from? I'm originally from Pennsylvania. Right. Right outside of Philly.
A
Yeah.
B
So, okay. Where at? We're at what. What city.
A
Man. Let's go.
B
So I don't know if you heard of, like, Sellersville. It's kind of near, like, Quakertown. Pretty small town. Never heard of it.
A
Shout out to the small towns, though.
C
Shout out.
B
That's right. I'm a good small town. Right. What. What's your. Your question for us today? Yeah, so I'm. I'm honestly kind of a Eagles history nerd myself. There's been so many, like, legendary Eagles players throughout the years. So my question is, if there's one player throughout Eagles history you could add to the team today, who would you choose and why? I mean, my.
A
I feel like we're gonna have the same answer.
B
I would choose Brian Dawkins.
A
Yeah.
B
Easy.
A
Yeah, let's go. I mean, I wonder. I just want. I just want to know what it was like to play.
B
Yeah.
A
With him, like next to him and like his. His speeches before, like pregame speeches, bro.
B
The best. Just the energy. The energy he plays with, man.
A
You don't see anything like that.
B
No.
A
Anymore. Yeah, you know, it's.
B
It'd be probably. It'd be so sick to chill. Yeah, it'd be. Could you imagine just Doc one more time coming out of the. The tunnel on all fours, like going crazy like when. When. Well, he did. I guess he didn't come out on all fours, but when he did the. The intro last year during the playoff game.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
So sick. So sick. It'd be. I mean, it'd be. It'd be so sweet to. To play with him. Speaking of B dog.
A
Oh, my gosh.
B
I got Dawkins on this side and then on this side I got Kelsey from the parade and then Foals holding up the trophy that goes down this way. So do you want from last year's super bowl yet or. No, I'm working on it. So I have. I have the logo on the inside and then the super bowl stuff is going to go up here, so.
A
Nice.
B
Yeah, it's gonna be coming soon. That is sweet. Appreciate that. Who would you add to our team right now if you could? Besides. Besides B Doc, Besides bdoc. I mean, growing up, Dawkins was my guy, but honestly, I take it back a little bit farther. Go Chuck Bednar. You know, Chuck Ben, Eric. Okay. Yeah. Absolute legend. I mean, last of the 60 Minute Men. You know, get them on offense, get them on defense, you know.
A
Wow.
B
That would be. That would be. That'd be a legend to add to.
A
That would be crazy.
B
That would be sick. That would be sick. Not who I thought you were gonna say, but that's sick. I mean, you gotta give the. The, you know, the OGs their pass. You're right. You're right.
A
100.
B
That's sweet, though. That was a Good question. We appreciate it.

Eagles WIN vs Packers, Jaelan Phillips Impact, Lions Preview & More
Release Date: November 13, 2025
Host(s): Cooper DeJean, Reed Blankenship
Podcast: Exciting Mics
In this episode, the Super Bowl champion duo Cooper DeJean and Reed Blankenship celebrate the Eagles' gritty 10–7 road win over the Packers at Lambeau Field. They offer listeners an authentic inside look at the team’s vibe, break down key defensive moments—including new arrival Jaelan Phillips' instant impact—review hilarious locker room moments, spotlight standout “exciting fits,” answer listener questions, and preview the upcoming Sunday night matchup against the Detroit Lions.
The signature off-the-cuff chemistry between Cooper and Reed shines as they recount road trip stories, reflect on defensive pride, and keep it real for Philly fans.
Quote:
Unscripted Celebrations: They joke about their impromptu reactions after big plays—no one sticks to the plan, everyone just stands there awkwardly.
Jaylen Phillips’ close call: Nearly hits a referee mid-celebration:
Locker Room Laughter:
Portia (from Missouri): Asks about favorite pregame songs.
Ray (from PA): Asks if they could add any Eagles player from history, who would it be?
Conversational, playful, and genuinely appreciative of the Eagles’ grind. Cooper and Reed are unfiltered, tease each other constantly, and connect authentically with the fanbase. Their banter is loaded with inside jokes, player shoutouts, and “locker room stories”—a front-row seat to real NFL camaraderie.
Go Birds!
