And this new news is something that Wyatt is going to be happy to find out. New news brought to you by Moana 2. That's right. Moana 2. Nice. Coming to theaters November 27th. I can't.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's exciting.

[Jason Kelsey]

Moana is fantastic. One of the things I really like about Moana is that it's like. I don't know, it feels like in a world where a lot of these stories just kind of get, like, remade. Moana was an original. I think the lead character is a powerful female that I really like. The music's great. The rock kills it. Maui's a fantastic character, but there's also not, like, the bad guy ends up being the same as the good guy in the movie. I don't know what Mana 2 is about, but the first one was about really just, like, being good to the land and Mother Nature fighting back against.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

You know, really monocultures of coconuts, I think. Anyways, yeah. Moana 2 coming November 27th. Can't wait to see what this one's about. And if Te Fiti is back to needs the heart. What was it? What was it? What was it missing again? The heart. Something heart. God damn it. The heart of Te Fiti.

Nice. Yeah. Be good to the land.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's right, Mama Donna.

[Jason Kelsey]

Mama Kelsey is going to make her acting debut next Saturday. That's right. Next Saturday, November 30th.

[Travis Kelsey]

What?

[Jason Kelsey]

In holiday Touchdown. A Chief's Love story on the Hallmark Channel. Gotta admit, I have not seen a lot of Hallmark movies. I'm excited to watch this one.

[Travis Kelsey]

Mama Kel's. She owns a barbecue joint.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's right. She's a manager of a barbecue restaurant.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Mom can cook a lot of things. I don't think she ever made barbecue a day.

[Travis Kelsey]

She's never made barbecue for us.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, I mean, like, not even, like, barbecue sauce. I don't remember that being, like, a thing that mom would do. That was Dad's deal.

[Travis Kelsey]

Dad was like, yeah, look, leave the barbecue to me. I'll make the sauce at home. You know, I think it's good enough to sell.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think he wanted that you remember that dad wanted to sell his own barbecue sauce.

[Travis Kelsey]

He did.

[Jason Kelsey]

And mom was like, ed, we can't mortgage our entire financial savings because you want to sell your barbecue sauce. That barbecue sauce was really good, though.

[Travis Kelsey]

It was fucking great.

[Jason Kelsey]

I've had it again. It doesn't taste. I don't know if dad didn't write down the recipe right. I feel like, you know, sometimes when you're finagling stuff just off the fly, off the cuff, you nail it.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's good.

[Jason Kelsey]

I also like, he. We tried to recreate it. He. We tried to recreate it, and he gave me the list, and I expected.

[Travis Kelsey]

It to be like a big head is. He's a Kelsey finagling everything.

[Jason Kelsey]

I. He gave me this barbecue sauce recipe, and I was going to try and make it one. It was like 4th of July or something like that. And I was expecting it to be.

[Travis Kelsey]

Like, oh, you got like, ingredients, spices.

[Jason Kelsey]

Herbs, like brown sugar, ketchup.

[Travis Kelsey]

Brown sugar.

[Jason Kelsey]

This thing is nothing but other sauces and other condiments combined to make one. So, like, I'm like, dude, you can't. How many ham?

[Travis Kelsey]

This all.

[Jason Kelsey]

You just went to the.

[Travis Kelsey]

He just said, sweet baby Ray is mixed with.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, he just went to the.

[Travis Kelsey]

Hey, man, this is good as hell. No wonder he went to the fountain.

[Jason Kelsey]

Coke machine at McDonald's and just bunch them together. I got my own sauce.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm not gonna lie. That's how you got fucking Vanilla Coke. That's how you got fucking. You know what I mean?

[Jason Kelsey]

All I know is it was good. And dad was on to something. And another figured it out.

[Travis Kelsey]

He figured out his barbecue sauce could.

[Jason Kelsey]

Have been a thing maybe.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. And the word around town was, you know, Big Ed could fucking make some wings, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

He could make wings. Everybody loved those wings.

[Travis Kelsey]

Everybody. The original Kelsey.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Check out November 27th. As we said, Mom's first acting debut is hitting the big screen. Well, TV screens, I think those go straight to TVs. I don't think that goes to the theater.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I think they go straight to streaming.

[Listener]

You can't.

[Jason Kelsey]

You can't see Moana too. In. In theaters.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right, now Jason debuts. Santa drives in Astro van. That's right.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, baby.

[Travis Kelsey]

How did it feel being up on stage, big guy?

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, my voice was gone.

[Travis Kelsey]

I lost my voice previous week, so we talked about this.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I was really nervous.

[Travis Kelsey]

You didn't do our remedy.

[Jason Kelsey]

I tried. I think I had about, you know, I probably had more honey than Winnie the Pooh throughout the whole.

[Travis Kelsey]

See, you went the honey Route. You went the wrong route.

[Jason Kelsey]

I did tea and honey. It was both.

[Travis Kelsey]

See, you went t. You can't hear anything I said. You didn't listen to anything I said, and you still had a raspy voice. You tried to go the. You're so ridiculous.

[Jason Kelsey]

Between this and then trying to film something else, I.

[Travis Kelsey]

Could we turn the sound off for a second while. While Jason's shaking his little shaker. A little banana shaker. Oh, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Everybody mute your computer now. Everybody.

[Travis Kelsey]

Love your facial expressions. Like, here we go. Sorry. Sorry. I'm not sorry. That's good. Nice for the greater.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, every re has.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice. Man. I love. Right before you get on the mic, you're like. You're, like, looking at everyone, like, here it goes.

[Jason Kelsey]

Here it goes. Sorry for ruining the song, everybody.

[Travis Kelsey]

We'll get through this, though. We'll get through this together and enjoy the rest of this song.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, I did. I could not sing. It was so bad.

[Travis Kelsey]

I just gotta go.

[Jason Kelsey]

He did not help, but you should.

[Travis Kelsey]

Have just chugged some Jack Daniels before you walked up there.

[Jason Kelsey]

Everyone, I would encourage you to listen to the actual recording where I sound much better because my voice is not hoarse.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

But no, it was an awesome experience. It was really cool. To be a part of Mount Joy is phenomenal. The fact that they lent their time and energy to this effort was fantastic. Yeah. I don't know. The Eagles fans made it special. There was enough energy already because it was the biggest game of the year for the Philadelphia Eagles. So it was. It was just an awesome evening of. Of music and football.

[Travis Kelsey]

Does it feel weird you've done this the past, like, three years. Does it feel weird doing a lot for Christmas? Not in December.

[Jason Kelsey]

It does feel a little weird, but you kind of have to do the lead up to it. You have to stay ahead of it. But you know me, I've always loved Christmas. We've always loved Christmas. So, you know. And listen, the previous two albums, we've raised over $4 million for.

[Travis Kelsey]

God damn.

[Jason Kelsey]

50 different charitable organizations because people have supported the album and bought it and appreciated it. So it makes it a lot easier to do when you know that it's going to make a huge impact in your community.

[Travis Kelsey]

So Santa drives an Astro van. Ladies and gentlemen, live at the Link, the third and final record in the Philadelphia Special Christmas trilogy is. Is out now. So make sure you guys go and check that out.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, please support. We've had a lot of support in the past, and we're trying to do it even bigger this year. We have aspirations to do a lot of amazing things for the community. And, you know, the only reason we're able to do any of that is because people support the album, and it's turned into this wonderful Philadelphia thing that I think just is fun. We have a Operation Snowball we're trying to execute on this year. I haven't even told anybody about this yet. I don't even know if I'm allowed to share this. But our goal this year, Operation Snowball, is a citywide special initiative to try and get a gift to every kid in the Philly public schools. So we're partnering with the Philadelphia public school system, as well as some other organizations in the city and people in the private sector to try and get gifts to every single school for the kids throughout Philadelphia, which is a lot of kids. And the only reason we're able to do that is because the city supports it. People buy the album, they listen to the album. But more importantly, and I really felt this from the moment I got to Philadelphia. It's really just such a city entrenched with pride and joy for itself.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

The sense of community and family is so strong.

[Travis Kelsey]

It is very strong.

[Jason Kelsey]

And, you know, I don't know that it would be done anywhere else, but I think. I think we're gonna be able to pull it off with how much, you know, the community is willing to support it. So we appreciate you guys. Really excited to, you know, bring some joy around the holidays to everyone out there. And, yeah, thanks for supporting.

[Travis Kelsey]

Jason broke a world record. Hey, how about that last piece of new news here? Jason is now officially a world record holder. How about that, Jason? Guinness Book of World Records. You made it, kid. On Monday Night Countdown, Jason attempted to break two world records. The longest blindfolded catch of a football.

[Jason Kelsey]

Did not go well.

[Travis Kelsey]

Did not go well at all. Was this inspired by the sun at AT&T Stadium?

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't know.

[Travis Kelsey]

So all of this peeking through the.

[Jason Kelsey]

Glass, I think it was just, dude, perfect. Kind of set up a lot of these games. And they were like, hey, you're not going to catch this ball, but it's going to look hilarious. So it's like, hard game. So they actually pulled this off. They hold the world record, I think, for longest.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, right in the fucking clavicle.

[Jason Kelsey]

Right in the jug.

[Travis Kelsey]

We got to keep our. We got to keep our hands up.

[Jason Kelsey]

Felt like it was a lot closer than what it just looked like.

[Travis Kelsey]

No, that's a. I mean, how long did they say it was that looks like that? 30, 40 yards.

[Jason Kelsey]

40 yards. That one was over 40 yards, bro. The longest hot dog was right around 60 yards.

[Travis Kelsey]

Do we have somebody threw a hot dog 60 yards? There's no from, dude. Perfect. He can throw a hot dog 60 yards, dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

So he had a good little arm on him. And yeah, we got downwind, we had to switch sides. The hot dog would make it down there.

[Travis Kelsey]

Give this guy a fucking scholarship, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Fuck motherfucking scholarship.

[Travis Kelsey]

This is goddamn good. The longest throwing catch of a hot dog into a bun. Nice. So he was just throwing naked wieners and you were catching them in the bun?

[Jason Kelsey]

In my bun. Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Were they toasted my buns? You're a big toasted bun.

[Jason Kelsey]

My buns were loose and lubricated and ready to receive that wiener.

[Travis Kelsey]

Jesus.

[Jason Kelsey]

Perfect catch.

[Travis Kelsey]

I would say one drip. Content when you need it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, those hot dogs at Jerry World are ridiculous. They are the girth on those hot dogs. And then we did another one where we actually ate the hot dog.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, no filler.

[Jason Kelsey]

It was disgusting. It was a cold. It was.

[Travis Kelsey]

Now you know exactly what I'm talking about. That's every hot dog. You just finally came to realization.

[Jason Kelsey]

This one just had a consistency to it that was like. You know, hot dogs have like filler in it. Like, it's not all meat.

[Travis Kelsey]

The entire thing is filler.

[Jason Kelsey]

But I think that one was filled up condom. It was too high quality of a hot dog. I think I found out through that, eating that hot dog that I like cheap hot dogs. If it's too nice of a hot dog, it's like it was a bad hot dog.

[Travis Kelsey]

You were. I don't know what it was. Gourmet glizzy.

[Jason Kelsey]

It was. It was thick and like, as soon as I bit into it, I was like, what in the hell?

[Travis Kelsey]

Honestly, dude, a hot dog eating contest might be a nightmare. Like, I think I've actually woken up in like a dead sweat out of a. Out of sleep one time because I was in like a hot dog eating contest against my will.

[Jason Kelsey]

You had a nightmare? A hot dog eating God says nightmare, dude, that.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, just the smell and just you're stuffing yourself until you have to vomit. And then I already have to vomit because of the text. Oh, God.

[Jason Kelsey]

Have you ever had a mayonnaise eating contest nightmare?

[Travis Kelsey]

No. Nobody would ever do that, dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's the real thing.

[Travis Kelsey]

No, it's not.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't want to watch it anymore.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, get it out. I don't even get queasy, and this is disgusting. It looks like I'm kind of like, tricking myself into thinking she's eating yogurt. I'm like, in my head, I'm like, okay, it's actually vanilla pudding. That's the only way I can be comfortable.

[Travis Kelsey]

Even though the texture is disgusting. Oh, my gosh.

[Jason Kelsey]

That is so gross. Oh, get it out of here. I like the cheese. Can we just fast forward to the end? How many? How many does she get through?

This is like nails on a chalkboard to me, dude. I can't look up and fucking. All right, Mina kuna just housing fucking mayonnaise, dude. This is disgusting.

[Jason Kelsey]

Five jars of mayonnaise in three minutes.

[Travis Kelsey]

[Jason Kelsey]

Maybe now you'll have a nightmare about that, man. That's really gross.

[Travis Kelsey]

That was so.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, I'm going to be playing at 1:00 Eastern on Sunday. But Jason, who are you putting on your multi view?

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I mean they all going to go Chiefs, Panthers for obvious reasons. Probably go Lions, Colts because I really like watching the Lions play former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen. Probably go Cowboys, Commanders just because it's NFC east and then Vikings, Bears in division game. Vikings have looked really good. Interested to see if they can continue to look like the team they have.

[Travis Kelsey]

Remember right now you can get the Thanksgiving sale price of NFL Sunday Ticket for just 89 when you sign up. Today we're racing to the playoffs and that price won't last long.

[Jason Kelsey]

Offer ends December 2nd. No cancellations, terms, restrictions and embargoes apply. Alrighty. I'm excited to talk about our next partner, Disney's Moana 2. Heck yeah, baby. That's right. Moana 2 is coming to theaters near you on November 27th.

[Travis Kelsey]

Jason, are the, are the girls big Moana fans? How many times have you guys watched this thing? Is it like an every, every week kind of, kind of deal or what?

[Jason Kelsey]

They've always been big Moana fans. And more importantly, Moana's one of the ones that Kylie and I can watch. It's just really well done. The music is really good. It's a unique movie. I'm also happy that it's a newer movie that was unique and like, it embraces like, culture. Man, they do a good job. They do a good job over at Disney. But yeah, either way, I'm fired up about Moana 2. Very fired up. I also hear that in Moana 2, she goes on an even bigger adventure than in the first film. And guess what, Trav, that comes with some new characters and songs.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right now. And apparently there's a new song called beyond from the movie, which is supposed to be pretty electric. Check it out, 92 percenters. Plus, there's a hilarious dynamic between Moana and Maui, played by Dwayne the Rock Johnson. All right now. And continues in this new story.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's right, Trav. You guys aren't going to want to miss this one. Make sure you take the whole family to see Moana 2 in theaters November 27th.

[Travis Kelsey]

Again, that's November 27th.

[Jason Kelsey]

Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking all state first.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just like, you know, to check if you packed your headphones before you get on the plane for an away game.

[Jason Kelsey]

Or like, you know, to check if you put gas in the car before you head out on a family road trip with three kids and two Irish wolfhounds.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, and checking first is smart. So check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds, maybe even thousands. You're in good hands with Allstate Savings.

[Jason Kelsey]

Vary terms apply. All State Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. All right, bold topics to wrap up week 11 in the NFL. Chiefs recap. Let's get into a trav. Bills 30, Chiefs 21. Great game. It was a fun game to watch. Did not turn out the best for the Kansas City Chiefs.

[Travis Kelsey]

The Bills played a great four quarter football game. Turnover early, got the ball at half possessions, didn't have a lot of them. They were doing a good job of, you know, keeping our offense off the field, putting together drives. I mean, keep Pat Mahomes off the, off the football field, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Absolutely. And it was impressive.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, yeah, they were converting third downs, something that I think we didn't do a great job of. They won their one on one matchups in a lot of different areas. And it wasn't just, you know, in, in terms of like the wide receiver, DB one on one matchups. I think it was all over the board and back to the drawing board for sure. I think it was a, it was a nice. I don't want to call the wake up call because we went into that game knowing that, you know, the Bills were one of the top teams in the football in the NFL. Sometimes you just need a different perspective on things. And watching this game back, you know, you kind of see a trend happening over the past like three to four weeks and, and you just got to fine tune things, get back to the basics, get back to the fundamentals.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And really just get back to going to work throughout the week. And you know, I have all the confidence in the world will, will be better because of this game. But at the same time, you know, hats off to the Bills for showing up, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I have a feeling this is not going to be the last game the Kansas City Chiefs and Bills played this season. And kudos to the Bills, they played great. Josh Allen played fantastic. Like we were saying, they sustained a lot of drives and the Kansas City defense has been so good. And I don't think like the defense didn't play bad. It was more like the Bills just made plays at the right time. Josh played great. This was two really good teams going up against each other. And the biggest play of the game, you know, obviously Pat is so good down the stretch with the ball in his hands and he did it. The drive right before Buffalo scores their last touchdown. You guys drive down and bring the game within two points. And McDermott and the Bills have a decision on fourth down with two yards to either punt it or try and retain possession. And the last thing I think anybody thought was that Josh Allen was going to scramble and score a touchdown on the play. But, I mean, I think that aggression is what you have to do.

[Travis Kelsey]

You give me AB or C. I'm saying Josh Allen is doing something with his feet.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, yeah, that's fair.

[Travis Kelsey]

Josh Allen, I mean, they were on quarterback power. They were like, yeah, they do it in Superman's hands.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, you know, no doubt. And he executed it to perfection. That's what they had to do. I think that they knew if they would have given that ball back to Pat, it's out of our hands. And they decided to be aggressive and take control of it and it paid off. Man, look at how Carloftis was so close. If he.

[Travis Kelsey]

George.

[Jason Kelsey]

Either way, it was an awesome game. You could see the intensity out there from both teams because obviously you guys have played a lot of meaningful football games against each other. Let's get some post game thoughts. Mahomes, you can use it as fuel. That's a good football team. So it's nothing to hang your head about. We feel like we can play better, so we'll get back to work and try to use it as a spark to be a better football team. In the end, the undefeated thing was cool, but that's not our ultimate goal. I love this, and I think that this is all you can do. You take losses or you take things that you're not operating at the right level or where you want to be at, and you try and become better from it. Yeah, the Bills are a great football team. They are. They're one of the best football teams in the NFL this year, and they're going to be able to win any football game they're in, especially with the guy they got playing quarterback and the team they've assembled and, you know, it's a. It's an experience that will ultimately make the Kansas City Chiefs better from moving forward. I really believe that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Andy Reid on the undefeated talk, going away potentially being a relief for his team. He said, I don't really care about all that crap, which, I mean, how much were you guys hearing of the undefeated stuff? Because it feels like there's this narrative out there that that was potentially in your head. I find that hard to believe that you guys were even, like, even thinking about that.

[Travis Kelsey]

You don't think about, oh, I really want to win this game. So I can remain undefeated. No, we want to win this game because we. We have a lot of really close football games against the Buffalo Bills, and we. We love competing against them because they're one of the best teams in the league. Like, I get fired up in the playoffs.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I. I get fired up playing against the best teams in the National Football League, and I was fired up for this one. And I didn't play my best. And that. That they. It pisses me off. And it made me, you know, go right back into work on Monday after the game and get after it and find. Find a way to make shit right. Yeah, I think this is something that. That you won't see out of us in the future. I think we're very confident that we'll get the things fixed. We have all the talent that we need to go and win another Super Bowl. I've been on super bowl winning teams. We have enough talent to fucking make a run at this thing. And I think everybody knows that. All we got to do is just be our. Be at our best. And that's what we were not for four quarters. I mean, there wasn't a single quarter that it was like, oh, yeah, we outplayed them. We got them on that. No, they were out there. They had a little bit more idea what we were doing, and they were fundamentally more sound in a lot of different areas.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

You know, I put that on myself to be more fun, to harp on the fundamentals throughout practice, make sure I'm getting out there and I'm running around. I'm not just going through the plays. Make sure I'm focused. Make sure I get the timing down with the quarterback so that, you know, we're. We're on time for Pat, and Pat can be confident in throwing. Throwing the football where it needs to go. You know, a lot of this is just. It's very fixable. And, And I got all the faith in the world in. In. In this team, and I obviously, I just. I focus on. On the offensive side, but I got all the faith in the world in spacs and. And that defense to get it right as well.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, Andy had a similar message to rookies and newcomers and really the whole team. I'm sure you got to dig in. This should hurt. You spend a lot of time and effort preparing for these games as coaches and players. You have to figure out these problems and work to solve them. You can't just say everything's going to be okay. That's how this works. You have to check the ego at the door and do some self eval, which I think he's clearly saying similar to what you're saying is, listen, we've been close to losing some games for the last couple of weeks and like, like now we finally have lost one. It's time to really focus on what we need to get better at.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't give a fuck how your body's feeling. I don't give a where your mentality is off the field when you step in that building. We are here to figure out and we are here to get better as football players for the football team. I think that is a mentality going forward that everybody has to be a part of, top down. And I think myself included, I, I got, I got to be the leader that I, I've been in the past and, and you know, hold myself accountable so that everybody sees, you know, how it' done and knowing that we got a lot of new faces and a lot of rookies and, and whatnot, you know, and, and sometimes you just need that smack in the face. It is what it is. Sometimes you need a smack in the face to be able to punch in the mouth. Yeah. To, to lock in and, and know that this is. It's any given Sunday type league and, and not saying that that team was just any, any other team, but I do believe we have better players and we get another shot at that, that team. I definitely get excited about it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, Leo Chanel shared that he and his teammates plan to use their first loss as motivation with the three word phrase, remember the feeling. Offensive bright spots. Mahomes got the ball to 11 different players. Guard Mike Caliendo caught a sprint out to convert a third down.

[Travis Kelsey]

This one got me fired up, man. Oh yeah, that one got me fired up, man. Caliendo is one of those guys. He's right now he's number six on the, on the O line. So wherever we, whenever we need a guy, we bring him in.

[Jason Kelsey]

There you go. I love a little extra O lineman in the game. Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Heavy personnel.

[Travis Kelsey]

A1, A1 guy. One of the best teammates on the, on the team guy that just gets after whatever you need, coach. And we put him in a situation where he's just got to feel it out. He's got to feel the, feel the area out. And on top of that, be ready for the football at any moment because Pat is. Yeah, and Pat trusted him. I was about to say right on him for a big time third down.

[Jason Kelsey]

Put it right on his chest. For those of you wondering what this, this Is called the side view. They call it in sprint out or boot naked action. You have somebody that secures the edge for a second and then it's his job. Just kind of be like a last minute, like kind of safety mechanism for the quarterback. The dot him the ball. If everybody overplays the naked action like they do, do you feel like the Chiefs offense is making progress to where you want to be at in January? Of course I know it wasn't progress.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't, I don't know if progress is the right word. I think, I think obviously there's, there's good games, there's bad games. Whether or not you, you come out victorious or you, you're winning your one on one matchups. How well did we execute the offense? A lot of people like to go into practices and say, did we have a good practice or a bad practice? No, we just had practice.

[Jason Kelsey]

Right.

[Travis Kelsey]

You know, we, we figured out either how not to do shit or we figured out how to do right. And I think right now we're still figuring out how to run this offense the best or how to be at our best when the play is called. You know that every play can't be like the most, the best play possible that the other team has no idea is coming.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. And you're not going to out scheme them every single time. Be wide open.

[Travis Kelsey]

Sometimes you got to run the ball knowing they know the exact run. Sometimes you got to, you got to make a play in the past game when it's, when they have everybody covered in the balls, in the air. You have to be able to make right. You know, Coach Reed does a great job and the offensive staff and the defensive staff here in case he does a great job of putting us in positions to have success. But then it's our job to go out there and make that happen. And you know, that's where I put my pride in, in making sure that no matter what Big Red calls, we make that work.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And, and I think Pat is, he's got the ultimate trump card back there and being able to do that, he's done that throughout his entire career. And, and that's, that's the goal. The goal is to keep trying to make everything that Coach Reed calls, whether it's something that they got to tick on or not. We got to make that shit happen. And, and, and I think that's, that's the direction that we're going for sure.

[Jason Kelsey]

Into what you just said. That's the thing that's made Pat so unique is, you know, I think Andy is as good at dialing up plays as anybody in the NFL. He's going to get you guys in a lot of advantageous situations, but when it isn't the advantageous situation, that's when Pat really is special. He can then improvise and do things that a defense can't prepare for because it's going to be something that is unique to that situation and that's the great equalizer. So, yep, you know, that's the kind of ownership and pride you guys want to have. And knowing as players that at the end of the day, you know, we're the ones out there playing and we got to make things go. So love that. Next week, the Chiefs are headed to Carolina to take on the Panthers. Obviously not the same matchup as the Bills, but it is the NFL and you will get humbled by any team, especially one coming off their buy. Panthers are coming off their buy. And after beating the Giants in Germany, two game win streak. Wow. After I declared the season was over, I did, I did indeed do that. I was mighty hard on the Panthers.

[Travis Kelsey]

Quarterbacks playing better. They got some guys back on the defensive side. D line is very good. D line. That's the. Where all their horses are there. A lot of their guys are up front. They got a, they got a very veteran type team. You know, I feel like I've played a lot of these guys on different teams, Vikings, Broncos, kind of all over the league that have had this style of defense, and we're going to have a fucking challenge. They see, they, they've seen us at, at our worst these past couple weeks. We just haven't been playing our best, especially on the offensive side of the ball. And I think that that's going to motivate them to feel like they have a chance. It's up to us, man. It's a mentality game, man. We go in there and do what we, you know, we know how at our best. I don't think there's a team in the league that can beat us.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. Let's move along to the, to the Eagles, baby Eagles. A little Thursday night football action against the Commandos.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Baby Eagles 26. Commanders 18. Washington had been. They came out the gates hot and they've had a bit of a up and down the past like three or four weeks, I believe.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I mean, they've still been good. The Commanders are a good football team. They really are. They're well coached. Dan Quinn is a phenomenal head coach and we're seeing how different that Dallas Cowboys defense looks with him not at the helm, I think I just think he's very good at utilizing guys within his system, scheming things up. There were a number of things he did in this game that stalled the run game out. The run yardage might look good because it ended good at the end of the game, but there were a lot of negative runs and things that they did that I think kind of threw the Philadelphia Eagles off, especially early in the game. And eventually we saw kind of what I think is probably the commander's weakness this year, which is the trenches on both sides. I just think that they are very good team. The quarterback Jaden Daniels has played out of his mind for the majority of the season, especially as a rookie. I just think they're going to struggle against teams with good offensive lines and good defensive lines. I just think that they have good players. Their offensive line is filled with a lot of journeymen that have played football in the league for a long time, and they are good players. But on both sides, they're missing just like a couple of those dudes that, like, you can lean on to, like, hey, this guy's going to create movement. We know where to go behind this one. They're just missing a little bit of that. And I think that when teams that are going to be able to win that physicality with them, they're going to be able to put pressure on Jaden Daniels and take him off his rhythm and timing, shut down their run game because their run game. A lot of people been talking about Jaden as a thrower. Brian Robinson in this rushing attack between him, McNichols and Eckler, all three of those guys, they've been running the ball like crazy. I just think that the Eagles defense has been really clicking as of late.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, the Eagles are now first place in the NFC east behind only the Lions. Is Nick Sirianni not getting enough love from Philly?

[Jason Kelsey]

You know what? I was listening to WIP this morning. I think the Eagles.

[Travis Kelsey]

The fuck is wip?

[Jason Kelsey]

WIP is the local, like, big sports talk show station in Philadelphia.

[Travis Kelsey]

So they're the ones that have been shitting on them.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, they control a lot of the narrative, but I will say they usually are. I think WIP does. Is pretty much, for the most part. I don't want to say for the most part. WIP is oftentimes just a reflection of what the fan base truly thinks about the team.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, that's how you keep the fans involved. Sometimes they are wrong, keep them listening.

[Jason Kelsey]

Sometimes they are Wrong.

[Travis Kelsey]

See, that's what I mean. I told you. Sirianni is done.

[Jason Kelsey]

They're also. It tends to be, it tends to be the loudest fans, which, you know, hey, listen, I go on wip. I like listening to WIP for these exact reasons. I like hearing those perspectives. But I think Nick, Nick was facing a lot of criticism for the end of last year and early on this year he made a lot of fourth down calls that just haven't gone their way and he's faced a lot of criticism for that. A lot of fans have been saying, you know, what does he do? He's not calling plays anymore. What is he doing as a head coach?

[Travis Kelsey]

It's so unfair. It is.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's very unfair.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's so fucked.

[Jason Kelsey]

And Nick is really. That narrative is starting to flip. Obviously, when you win games, that's all people care about. And at the end of the day, what I think Nick does a really good job of doing, he's a great communicator. He does a wonderful job in team meetings and communicating who we are as a team, what we need to do, how we're going to attack them, what we're going to be on offense and defense making critical decisions in the games, which some of them haven't gone his way this year. But I still don't disagree with most of those decisions. And at the end of the day, I think Nick has done a great job, especially retooling from a disastrous end of last year. I mean, we lost a lot of games down the stretch and they bring in Vic Fangio, they bring in Keller Moore and you can just see that there's so much more well coordinated and well oiled machine this year as well as retooling from a talent perspective. They go out and sign Saquon Barkley. A lot of the young guys that they drafted have, have really started to come on, especially in the defensive side of the ball. Jalen Carter's playing as good as anybody is right now and Nick is definitely starting to get back in the good graces of Philly fans. Even though it was a rough start, I think there was a poll today that most people are like, oh yeah, he's got a better winning percentage than all these coaches through the first three seasons. That can't just all be luck. He's got to be doing something good.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, you give him the best players in the league. This is.

[Jason Kelsey]

People don't win with bad players. I don't care how good of a coach you are. That's not how it works. And. But there are people that will lose with good players. One of my favorite quotes or one of my favorite sayings, and I'm trying to remember who Kobe said, but you remember when the Last Dance came out from the Chicago Bulls?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

And my whole life I kind of thought Phil Jackson was a little bit overrated, if I'm being honest. Like, I'm like, what, dude? He coached Michael Jordan. Dude, Kobe Bryant shafts like he had Scotty Pippen. Yeah. And I'm like, dude, this guy didn't do anything redeeming. Then I watched Last Dance. I was like, oh, no.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, no.

[Jason Kelsey]

This guy, like, kept that whole thing together.

[Travis Kelsey]

Like, he's just putting out fires.

[Jason Kelsey]

Jordan and Pippen hating each other towards the end of it, like, hey, everybody.

[Travis Kelsey]

This dude was getting this circle. We're going to do some mindful.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, the Zen master.

[Travis Kelsey]

So I think I would have been so out on that dude. Oh, God.

[Jason Kelsey]

So Kobe came and talked.

[Travis Kelsey]

He would have sounded bad. Like, phil, what the fuck are we doing, dude?

[Jason Kelsey]

Kobe came and talked to the team one year and he talked about this narrative that Phil Jackson isn't a good coach because he's always had good players. And Kobe's like, well, who do you wanted to win with? You wanted to win with? And he named like, somebody, and I can't remember who. I don't want to throw shade at whoever basketball player he did name. But he was like, that's not how it works. You have to have good players to win.

[Listener]

Right.

[Jason Kelsey]

But at the end of the day, he won and there's a lot of coaches that didn't. So I think, you know, Nick is put together for triangle offense.

[Travis Kelsey]

Jason, everything's geometry. You got to understand this is. You got to spread the floor out, give two guys freedom. Everything outside of that, we just need cutters, guys in the right place at the right time knocking down open shots.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, Nick Sirianni's office.

[Travis Kelsey]

Get in the paint and elevate, son. What are we doing? Well, the easiest shot in basketball. Get as close as you can. Michael, show him how it's done. All right, boys, we're going to implement the triangle offense.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, that's a long winded way of saying that, like, at the end of the day, Nick Sirianni has been on some really good teams in Philadelphia. Yes, they've had really good players. Howie Roseman and the. And the personnel department have done a great job as well as the coaches of building a roster that is going to be, you know, synonymous with the team and way they want to play Football. And I think that right now they're really starting to come together. They found out their identity on offense. Saquon Barkley is a big piece of that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Speaking of Saquon, he rests for 146 yards and two tutties against Washington. Man, this guy is fucking balling, man. Couldn't have happened to a better guy, man. We had him on the podcast in the off season, and I think we both realized it right then and there that we were like, damn, Philly just got a. He just stole from the entire NFL, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And you could tell how. How just down to earth he was and how much of a teammate he was. He had been dealt with some injuries over there in New York, but it's just awesome to see him get this thing going. Game ceiling. 39 yard touchdown. Late in the game, shout out to Cam Jergens on blocking the safety. Oh, yeah, Twice on this play.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, he blocked them twice on this play. And he. He got on the play right before this. They ran this play two times in a row. This is the second version of it. They ran this play, I think three times in the game that I saw. Yeah, he. He obliterated.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just. You just see the offensive. Just. Everybody's creating grass. Half their team is outside the numbers.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And when you get a defense trying to play their gaps so far that they're like damn near on the sideline, it just creates so much room for a guy with speed and vision to be able to work with.

[Jason Kelsey]

Man, they're playing this like four minute defense. They got the time in front there. The safety's down, weak side. And Cam does a great job of getting up to him. His hands are so strong. He has that great, like three inch punch that is just so violent when he connects, he launches guys in space.

[Travis Kelsey]

God damn.

[Jason Kelsey]

So they ran that play, the play right before. They ran that exact same play to the left. And Cam, if Landon would have held onto that block, they probably would have scored on that play because he did the exact same thing to the guy, just launched him. Yeah. Check this out. Wow.

[Travis Kelsey]

Jesus.

[Jason Kelsey]

So strong. And he knew it, too. He did a little head bob right there. Oh, my gosh.

[Travis Kelsey]

Big jerky beef jerky jerky jerkins. Jesus, kid. Get up, get up, get up. Make a play. Make a play. Fuck him back on the ground, man. That's.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's a couple big ones. At the end of the game. He had that one. And then the play right before that that he scored the touchdown on. Not right before that, but the drive before that. When he scored the touchdown on, they had been. You know, when teams play a shell, like let's say we're two by two. I don't know if this is worth getting into, but you run a zone play weak side, and that nickel plays the B gap late to the weak side. You know what I mean?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I hear you.

[Jason Kelsey]

We call it a nosy nickel. They were doing that a bunch and that ball was getting so close. Like Saquon had like two or three. That could have been huge hits right through that B gap. Yeah, devonte the first time, if he just would have dug the nickel out just a little bit harder, that would have been explosive. Then there was another one where it just kind of got in the way enough. Right where it ruined the run right before it, he scores a touchdown on it. I think they got confused. I don't know if Bobby didn't know that they were rotating down to the tight end, but they didn't have anybody in that B gap. And it was A out the gate, 25 yard touchdown, whatever it was. But anyways, they really should have done better on the ground. I thought Dan did a really good job of scheming some things up, but I came away from the game. I mean, this was really positive. Saquon is so good, man. The speed and jumping over people, that's a lot of the stuff that people notice watching him. What I notice is he is on. He's got such good vision. He makes so many plays and makes reads that I've never seen or played with a guy make. I mean, you could argue Lashawn was as good at it. Lashawn was maybe the shiftiest guy I've ever seen play football. But Saquon does so many things. He's patient when he needs to be. He gets through the hole with explosion when he needs to. He hits it front, side or backside. He's running duo. He can get it to that backside, which is so hard to see. He just does a phenomenal job of creating runs and combined with this offensive line and the quarterback they have and the threat he is, you know, good luck, you know.

[Travis Kelsey]

So anyways, well, Saquon's rushed for a thousand yards. The 1,137 yards and eight touchdowns so far this season. Just 175 yards behind his season best with what, seven games, six games left.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I don't want to jinx anything, but yeah, he's looking pretty good. About midway through the season here, the.

[Travis Kelsey]

Last running back to win MVP of the National Football League was Adrian PETERSON Back in 2012, that was the last non quarterback to win it as well. How about that? Should we stop calling it the MVP and just give it to the best quarterback? Like the most valuable quarterback.

[Jason Kelsey]

Just announce that the best quarterback is the mvp?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, the most valuable quarterback and then make the. I mean. Cause then the offensive player of the year, that's the one that kind of gets shuffled around to like running backs and wide outs. And I don't even think a wideout's won it. But yeah, I don't know. I just think. I think there needs to be some other metric for outside of quarterbacks. Well, it's hard because there's so much being put on the quarterback. The reality got the ball in his hands the most of the time, so I get it.

[Jason Kelsey]

But yeah, the reality is the more the majority of the quarterback is the most valuable position on offense. So it makes sense that they're the ones winning this award the vast majority of the time. Every once in a while there is a running back like Adrian Peterson 2012, where it's so obvious that the only reason this offense is successful or the main reason this offense is dominant the way they are is because of how good that player is. There can absolutely be a case made for Saquon Barkley this year in the way he's playing and how he has elevated the offense and what the office has turned into. Because the team that, you know, we've always been a running team a little bit with Jalen and kind of the attributes that he brings opens a lot of the run game up, but they have really turned into this run and play action team. First and second down and they're embracing it. And Saquon, you know, he's just, he. He has made the offense and the team so much better as a player and as a person. I think it's a very good argument that he is the most valuable component to a team this season. We'll see how the rest of the season goes. I think there's a lot of people saying like, you know, because of the tush push, he's missing out on a lot of touchdowns. Anybody that's taking touchdowns away from Saquon Barkley, like that's making him less valuable, I think shouldn't even be allowed to, you know, choose who an MVP is. Like the dude is being dominant, I don't think that that's a metric that should, should gauge that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, talking about those touchdowns, Saquon has, has landed on the one yard line nine times this year, that is it Every. Yeah. And he has eight touchdowns. So you add those nine to it, he'd be sitting at 17 right now, halfway through the season, and that would be insane.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I mean, it's probably not 100%, but let's say out of those nine, he probably ends up with at least seven touchdowns. I think that's probably a good percentage.

[Travis Kelsey]

Off of those from the one yard line. I like Saquon. Given the ball, I think that's about a 70, 80% chance.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I think that that's fair to say. And that's a lot of touchdowns.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's crazy. I wonder how many times I've been stuffed at the one yard line.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, it's hard to get in there. It's tight spaces. Like Stout said, it's like cramming salt up a fat lady's ass down there in that one yard line.

[Travis Kelsey]

Not a lot shit's watertight down there, man. Oh yeah, the crab rear end.

[Jason Kelsey]

What's the other one? Duck's bottom. You ever heard that one? There's something with a duck in a bottom. Anyways.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Next week the Eagles head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.

[Travis Kelsey]

Hmm. Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

Unrelated question, who's going to win the NFC West? Great question.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, it's a race over there with the Niners. I think it might be the Cardinals. Cardinals are going to find their way out of there. I mean, they already got. They already got a game up on everybody, right? They're leading.

[Jason Kelsey]

They are. They're leading. I want to see Kyler continue to play the way he is. Like at the end of the day, you just have to see it proven, you know what I mean? In the 49ers have proven up more over the past few seasons. Matthew Stafford has proven it in the past and Sean McVeigh as well as, you know, the Seahawks and Geno, both of those teams have proven it, have a track record. They've won Super Bowls, They've been in Super Bowls.

[Travis Kelsey]

Cardinals are hot right now, but the Cardinals are hot.

[Jason Kelsey]

Jonathan Gannon hasn't playing really well. How about they have a great running game and Kyler Murray's playing really well right now, so.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, he is.

[Jason Kelsey]

It'll be interesting to see, but if he. If they keep playing like this, I think it's the Cardinals.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, there you go. Eagles right behind the Lions over there in the NFC. Who would have thought as you know, 92 percenters, Jason and I are big Whopper fans. So let's talk about this million dollar Whopper contest and these new fan created whoppers all brought to you by Burger King. All right, let's go through these. There's the Fried Pickle Ranch created by Fabian.

[Jason Kelsey]

Crunchy Fried pickles. Gotta love those pickles.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then we also have the Maple Bourbon Barbecue created by Calvin.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's right. Sweet and tangy barbecue sauce and bacon. Did the mic just pick up my stomach growling.

[Travis Kelsey]

And last, there's the Mexican Street Corn Whopper created by Kelsey.

[Jason Kelsey]

Crunchy Tortilla chips with roasted corn spread and spicy queso. And it was created by a Kelsey.

[Travis Kelsey]

And these Whoppers are only around for a limited time. So America, go try them.

[Jason Kelsey]

The original Whopper is getting some serious competition with these new creations. And you can crown your [e-mail]@bk, have it your way.

[Travis Kelsey]

You rule. After years of fine print contracts and people getting ripped off by overpriced wireless providers, if we've learned anything, it's that there's always a catch.

[Jason Kelsey]

So when we heard that all Mint Mobile wireless plans are 15amonth, when you purchase a three month plan, I thought what's the catch? But after hearing about it, it all made sense. That's right, there isn't one.

[Travis Kelsey]

Mint Mobile's secret sauce is that they sell wireless service online. They don't have retail stores. Instead they deliver premium phone plans directly to you.

[Jason Kelsey]

All plans come with high speed data and unlimited talking text delivered on the nation's largest 5G network.

[Travis Kelsey]

Plus you can use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan and bring your phone number along with all your existing contracts.

[Jason Kelsey]

To get this new customer offer and your three month unlimited wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month, go to mintmobile.com newheights that's mintmobile.com newheights 45 upfront.

[Travis Kelsey]

Payment required equivalent to about 15amonth. New customers on first three month plan only speeds slower above 40 gigabytes on unlimited plan. Additional taxes, fees and restrictions apply. Please Sievement Mobile for details.

[Jason Kelsey]

We love our dogs. That's right. They complete us. And all we want is peace of mind that we're doing what is best to keep them healthy and happy. And that's where the farmer's dog comes in.

The farmer's dog makes and delivers fresh, healthy dog food right to your front door. It's developed by vets, nutritionally balanced and made from real meat and veggies to safety standards of human food.

[Jason Kelsey]

Traditional dry and wet dog food options are highly processed, can use much lower quality ingredients than they claim to, and are extremely difficult to portion.

[Travis Kelsey]

Travis the Farmer's dog isn't just fresh, higher quality food. They also send the food pre portioned specifically for your dog based on their unique nutritional needs.

[Jason Kelsey]

It doesn't matter if your dog is young or old, it's always the right time to begin investing in their health. That means more happy, healthy and full years together.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's the farmersdog.com new heights the rest of week 11 in the NFL coming at you fast and it is brought to you by Burger King of Burgers. That's right. We're going to get to the Whopper recap right now. Wildest news out of week 11. For the first time ever, the Detroit Lions are the favorites to win the Super Bowl. Congratulations.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, we'll see, huh? We'll see how it is not to take away from anything the Lions are fucking doing right now because God damn, they look unstoppable.

[Jason Kelsey]

They do. They look very good. They're. And we brought, we talked about like, can a running back ever win the mvp? The league has shifted back to, you know, this line of scrimmage run and play action. Like the last few years it's gone to this, you know, I mean the last decade it's been really pass heavy. Spread it out, dial it up.

[Travis Kelsey]

With quarterback Dan Campbell getting these guys to bite. Kneecaps, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Holy cow. They are just run through your face, dude.

[Travis Kelsey]

They're one, two punch at the. In the backfield. That might be two of them.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's impressive.

[Travis Kelsey]

Two of the best we've seen in the National Football League, dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

They're kind of different. Like I love the way David Montgomery is just a great, every different.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Or a great like first second down, like just run right at you. Gibbs. I really like watching him play. He's shifty, he's dynamic, he can do a lot of things really, really well. I think both of them combined are really just a very fun time. Oh, I didn't know this. They are nicknamed Sonic and Knuckles. So Sonic is definitely Montgomery.

[Travis Kelsey]

What?

[Jason Kelsey]

Gibbs kind of reminds me of like Knuckles. I could see that.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think you're. Yeah, you got it twisted. Sonic is the fastest of the bunch.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, but like Sonic doesn't. When I think of Knuckles, I think more of shiftiness from what I remember from like Sonic was just like a freaking Road Runner. Like or it was a like a bowling ball, which I think of more like you would ball up. I kind of think of that more in like David Montgomery Lane, but whatever. Clearly I don't know the nickname.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, they both could do it. Both. All right. It is what it is. Yeah. Either one of them could be whoever they want to be because they got the full package.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's about as dynamic of a duo we've seen. We saw what they did to the Jaguars and we'll get into that in a second. But first, we want to start out with a game that might have been my favorite game from this past week, especially from Sunday. Steelers beat the Ravens. There's something about Steelers and Ravens game. It's always tight.

[Travis Kelsey]

Come on, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's always physical. Like that AFC north style of play that we grew up watching in Cleveland.

[Travis Kelsey]

AFC north, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

And it did not disappoint. My goodness. When you're playing, especially when you're older and the chippiness happens on the field, I feel like a lot of times you're like, dude, will you stop at the nonsense? Like, what are you doing? Being ridiculous. You know what I mean? Like, just like, can we just play football? Why you got to get into all this other stuff?

[Travis Kelsey]

I haven't felt that yet.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's the way I was. Now I find myself like, dude, I love it. I love when people are like getting in each other's faces and talking trash. Like Broderick Jones going at it with Humphrey. They got to get warned because they're about to get kicked out of the game because they're jawing at each other and hitting each other after the whistle. That's the kind of football that gets you excited and that's what this game. That's the energy this game had and that's the energy your guys game had. You guys are a lot of back and forth. Deion Dawkins was all over the place. That's when you know the meaningful games are happening. And it was fun to see that kind of football being played. And the Steelers and Ravens, it was an old fashioned bar brawl. It was two teams that knew how important the game was. They were going at it and ultimately the Steelers won the game without scoring a single touchdown.

[Travis Kelsey]

Six field goals, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

Boswell. Six field goals leading them to victory. I will say Steelers won the game. Their defense looks outstanding and they clearly know how to kind of get under Lamar's skin. They kind of have always played them well and part of it's their defensive lineage is just so good and they kind of shut down some of the run actions and things that Baltimore likes to do. You know, TJ Watt is a dynamic player. Cam Hayward is a dynamic player. The Ravens had their opportunities, and I still came away from the game thinking that the Ravens are probably the better team. They just had, you know, a lot of penalties, a lot of mistakes and things kind of kept the Steelers in the game for long enough to secure a victory. Shout out to the Steelers. It's a big, big win for them. They're playing a lot better.

[Travis Kelsey]

8 and 2 or 9 and 2 as well, I think.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, they're. They're right there. Potential coaching changes at this point in the season. There's a lot of speculation, obviously, on what is in the future, because at this point in the season, there are some teams that are clearly not going to be competing for a Super bowl and some fan bases want to know what is in store for next year. They've already given up, Trev.

[Travis Kelsey]

I just don't believe in doing that, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

What do you mean? Firing a coach midway through the season?

[Travis Kelsey]

Midway through the season. I just. I understand things can probably get hostile in the building between the front office and a head coach coach, and I understand that that could be a part of it. But if you don't know the direction you're going in the future to just fucking can a guy and make everyone's life that much harder to change the scenery that much, that I just. I don't see the benefits of it.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think for me, I've also never.

[Travis Kelsey]

Been a part of a team where that was.

[Jason Kelsey]

Listen, you've Andy Reed pretty, pretty good. You guys have had the coaching thing figured out. First of all, I agree. I think most of the time it does not make. I don't like firing a head coach midway through the season. I'll say the one time that I think it probably does make sense in some regards is if there's tension in the building as a result of things not going well. And the head coach is not a part of fixing that. He's a part of, like, making that an issue and exacerbating problems. And exacerbating.

[Travis Kelsey]

That was the word I was looking for because. Thank you.

[Jason Kelsey]

You know, there's a, you know, how do you know when the right time is to move on from head coach? I think a lot of that comes down to when there's just like a difference of where you want the team to go from the ownership and personnel and like, there's a disconnect on, you know, where we want to go next and what we're doing right now isn't working. And it's time for. In the best interest of everybody involved to move on.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

And most of the time, the right time to make that decision is after the season. But there are some times where it's like, all right, listen, this is like not a conducive environment that we want to have. We want to have everyone more on the same page, so let's get rid of the head coach. And it also kind of establishes to all the players that are still there, like, oh, God, they just fired the coach. We got to, you know, we're next if we don't prove kind of, you know, who we are and what we mean to this team.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

In general, usually not a fan of that, but that's kind of when you know, it's time to move on. When it's just like, man, you know, this coach has had his opportunities in his time, and it just hasn't gone that way or in a worse way. It's like, man, everybody's finger pointing upstairs. That's when it's bad, when people are finger pointing upstairs. You know, everybody's every. All the coaches in front office doors are closed instead of opening. It's not a good sign.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Another blowout loss. So I guess these are who we're talking about. My man, Doug Peterson In Jacksonville lost 52, 6 to the Lions. Another blowout loss. I mean, listen, it has not gone well for the Jags this year, and I think there's a number of reasons for that. Listen, I played for Doug. I know the type of coach he is. I know how much he cares about his players and the value he brings in that position.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

I will never not be willing to play and suit up for Doug Peterson.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm right there with you, brother.

[Jason Kelsey]

Because of the type of guy he is in the way he coaches the game. So it hurts me that they're struggling down there in Jacksonville and, you know, ultimately the head coach bears the brunt of all this stuff. That's part of that position. But it's hard for me to go there with Doug because I know what a fantastic, phenomenal coach he is. Another one that people are talking about is, you know, a situational failure with the Bears and Packers. Bears are now 5 and 17 in one score games under Iberflusse since 2022. Man, that's rough there.

[Travis Kelsey]

There was another stat out there that. That really is just like he just. Luck just hasn't been on his side late in the games. Man, I will.

[Jason Kelsey]

I will say that stat that he's been in that many close games. And like I, I just think that.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think there was another stat saying that he had, he's had the most like 90% chances to win and bad hairs. Yeah. I mean, listen, I forget what it was, man. And I met, I had the fortune of meeting coach Eber Fluss over the off season at the Kentucky Derby, man. I met him at the derby. Great guy. You could tell the guy just fucking loves ball, man. We were hanging out talking bald just about the entire time we were around each other, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

He used to be the linebackers coach in Dallas and he would coach Sean Lee and a bunch of those guys and give me fits. He was a. He's a fantastic coach. And defense has not been the issue for the most part in Chicago. They've played defense pretty well. They've really struggled offensively and again, ultimately the head coach is kind of the one that bears everything. The fact that they're in that many one score games though, tells me that the defense has been playing well. They've had opportunities they just haven't been able to execute. Obviously there's the one glaring one that they kind of messed up on with the Hail Mary and even the play before the Hail Mary against Washington earlier this year, the block field goal. I don't know how you put that on Eber Fluss, but I guess you.

[Travis Kelsey]

Put everything one fucking paw in the air, man. You can't just fucking like. It's not even like they got penetration.

[Jason Kelsey]

How did Eber Fluss not tell them to not let them put their hands up?

[Travis Kelsey]

Keep the hands down on. Yeah, he's been hit with a bunch of things that just I feel like have been out of his control. But there's so much to go into all of a football game, all four quarters of a football game. And like you said, man, the head coach is. He's going to take the wrath. Yeah. He's going to take the beating if something's going on.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. So I don't know the one thing with Eber Fluss that's, you know, and listen, I think he's a fantastic defensive coach. They just invested a lot of money into Caleb Williams. So they need to figure out something that's going to make that kid thrive. And maybe that's if it's not the offensive coordinator, you got to hire a guy and steal him from an organization that is a proven offensive mind in my opinion. I think you have to figure that out just from like a resource allocation. Right. They need and want Caleb Williams to pan out. They're going to have to figure out a way to make that happen, because they got players over there, like, there's weapons over there. And DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, they got horses over there. You know what I mean? So their offensive line is struggle a little bit, but even that, I think. I think they kind of got some decent offensive lineman. They just haven't really executed as well.

[Travis Kelsey]

Big question mark in the. In the NFL for head coaches is a very shocking one for me because I've. I've had a lot of trouble going, or at least had a lot of bumps in the road going up against his team. And that's Zach Taylor at Cincinnati.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. When you start seeing quotes, it's not a good sign. Right. Jamar Chase said, how do I do it? I don't know. Ask Zach, ask the coaches. Don't ask me. That's not my job. What is.

[Travis Kelsey]

What was the question was asked. How. How can the team finish better? That was the question, was, how does the team finish better?

[Jason Kelsey]

How do I do it? I don't know. As Zach, as coaches. Don't ask me. That's not my job. I don't think he's throwing shade at Zach in this. Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think he's football on the field.

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't call plays for us, you know, so I can't really do nothing. I think he's just basically saying that's like. Yeah. I mean, maybe he's throwing shades. Let me. Let me think about this more. How the team could finish better. I mean, just deflecting blame.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

And putting it on Zach and I mean, I don't know. I don't know what to think about this. This wasn't as bad as I thought before seeing it. I think this is probably a guy that's just frustrated, you know, Feels like.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. Doesn't. Doesn't have the answers right then and there. You know, obviously, he's playing his fucking ass off. He's lead. He's about to be the Triple Crown winner if he stays on this pace and freaking beast. Yeah. So it's like. I mean, he's doing everything he can to win. And I think the question itself was asking him, hey, do you have the answers? He's like, no. I mean, that's.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, exactly.

[Travis Kelsey]

You pay the coaches. I'm reading it to figure it out. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's above my pay grade kind of type answer.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. Especially right the now after I just had another heartbreaking loss. Like, what do you. Like, yeah. What the fuck are you even asking me right now? I think it Was one of those defer to the head guy and let the head guy answer those questions because right now, I don't want to fucking even think about it.

[Jason Kelsey]

It has to be. Please. Plays are part of why Cincinnati isn't finishing. He said. I don't know. He's just being honest. Yeah, I don't know.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think he's. I think he spoke his mind in the past, and I think people are just looking for those kind of quotes from him. But I don't think this one. I don't think you dive too deep into this one. Or maybe you do.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think they're going to, especially in Cincinnati, because the Bengals are much worse than they expected them to be. You know, everyone expected this team, with Burrow coming back and being healthy, to be a Super bowl contender. And as of right now, it looks like they're not going to make the playoffs. So Zach Taylor is going to face a ton of criticism. And again, that's the nature of it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yep.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's been there for six years. This is where it starts to. But the Bengals are unique. The Bengals don't, you know, family run business. They hold on to coaches.

[Travis Kelsey]

I would say that Coach Taylor is not going anywhere.

[Jason Kelsey]

The one thing that probably does make sense, Dallas, I mean, so bad last night against Houston. It just doesn't feel like anything is headed in the right direction.

[Travis Kelsey]

Doesn't really look like that's a motivated football team. I don't know.

[Jason Kelsey]

It looks like it's a bad situation.

[Travis Kelsey]

It looks like everybody's collecting checks over there. And you can tell a team when it's fighting. And it doesn't look like too many guys are out there fighting.

[Jason Kelsey]

No. And like, you want to talk about quotes, there's a lot of quotes, stuff on the sideline. Like, I mean, they fought in the first half yesterday. Yeah, they tried a fake pun. I just asked.

[Travis Kelsey]

These nuts talk about these nuts all time. I love it. I'm too much of a child, man. I'll defer to that. All the shout out the digs, man, I know that shit. I mean, it sucks losing. And when you don't have your best players out there, Dax not playing, it's. It's. It's tough, man. It's tough. You know, CD Lamb's out there trying to make shake as much as he possibly can. And same with the run game. It's just. It's tough, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

What sucks for Mike is that it feels like a lot of what is going on in Dallas. And listen, Dak hasn't played as well as everybody expected this year, it feels like it's a lot of it's personnel to driven. Like they had opportunities to sign guys this offseason. They chose not to. They trusted the guys they had in the building. And a lot of those young guys and people that they trusted just have not played at a high level. And I don't know that you can blame Mike McCarthy for that. Maybe he can. I don't know who's making those decisions. Brandon saying yes, you do. Our resident Dallas fan, Brandon Intern Brandon. I think it's more Jerry's fault. That's kind of what I'm getting at. Like Jerry's the one who's making all of these decisions.

[Travis Kelsey]

He's the one who created this fucking stadium so that the sun would peek through. He's the one that fucking. That doesn't want to do maintenance on the ceiling.

[Jason Kelsey]

If we want to get rid of Mike McCarthy, go for it. I do think they just paid Dak all this money similar to Caleb Williams. Like they got to find a way to get him going for it to make. Oh yeah, they've invested a lot of money. I know that Caleb isn't getting like when that investment has been made in the quarterback, you, you, you have to figure out a way for that investment to make sense.

[Travis Kelsey]

And the Giants are in the same boat right now.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, no, they're getting that. They, they've. Their cards have already shown they're moving on from Daniel Jones.

[Travis Kelsey]

What is this news? Did he just get benched or something?

[Jason Kelsey]

He got benched. We're going to Tommy Cutlets. Baby. You didn't.

[Travis Kelsey]

I swear to God, Tommy Cutlets is back in it.

[Jason Kelsey]

You didn't hear this?

[Travis Kelsey]

No, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, baby. Not only did they Ben Sailing Jones, they didn't even go to Drew Locke. They went straight to Tommy Cutlets. Listen, I'm like, what is going on? We went. They, they want to. They just want those shirts. They want everybody in the stadium like, hey, we know we're not very good. We're just going to be a caricature of a Italian dude from New York now. But no, I mean this is clearly. They're. They're. The Daniel Jones experiment is over there. They're benching him so that he doesn't get hurt and they don't owe him a bunch of money. There's going to be a bunch of changes in New York after this season, but yeah, back to deck in Dallas. Yeah, we aren't talking about that one. How's that one? Not on the coaching. I mean, is Day ball. We think day ball. Safe. He was the coach of the year two years ago. I don't really know what to say about all this coaching stuff because it's hard to know what the right moves are unless you're in these buildings. Ultimately, coaches are responsible for the, for the product, for the outcomes. Beyonce, halftime is coming to you live on Christmas Day.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm gonna miss it. Damn it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, baby. I can't wait to watch this one. Announced this week, Beyonce will be performing at halftime at the Texans Ravens game on Netflix. Yeah, how much does the NFL hate the NBA Christmas games voted out of Adam Silver do to deserve this? Listen, NBA does not have, you know, Christmas, right? Yeah, they don't have, you know, they're not the king of Christmas.

[Travis Kelsey]

No. Especially when NFL's in town, baby. Hey. Oh, come on now. We get some, we get some big time matchups. Texans, Ravens, Chiefs, Steelers.

[Jason Kelsey]

How about that?

[Travis Kelsey]

Who would have thought? I mean, is that a felt?

[Jason Kelsey]

People gotta figure it out.

[Travis Kelsey]

Come on now.

[Jason Kelsey]

Pretty good, pretty good.

[Travis Kelsey]

Hopefully Netflix can figure it out as well because last time, dude, hopefully they.

[Jason Kelsey]

Get the streaming stuff right.

[Travis Kelsey]

God damn it. My got froze literally on Mike Tyson's cheeks. Dude, that was the one of. It felt like a parody going into it. Yeah, just from like Mike slapping them in the, in the weigh ins and. Or the inner. Or like the. Yeah, of course the pre fight stuff.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, you know all that.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then just dude, when he did the interview and then because I'm pretty sure he did the interview with his son, that was his son that interviewed him, he kisses him on the cheek, which I've never seen that in an interview ever in my life. The guy is done with the interview right before his fight, goes and kisses another man on the cheek, says I love you, and then walks off and the camera pans and slightly goes down so he can catch this guy and nothing but a Josh.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, I, I'm not gonna lie, I.

[Travis Kelsey]

I immediately sent that to fucking everyone. That was the funniest shit ever.

[Jason Kelsey]

I was not watching at this point. I'm kind of embarrassed that I watched this to begin with. I should have known better. I couldn't help myself, man. I will say though, the moment I saw that clip on social media, like I didn't think Mike was going to win before, but I knew when I saw those cheeks he wasn't going to win. Come on, lose your clues, lose your game. I mean, he got an old man ass in that photo. Are you worth being at it? Hey, listen, if we're being honest, Keep.

[Travis Kelsey]

Your glutes past like 40.

[Jason Kelsey]

This is my point. This is why Andy said that. Lose your glutes, lose your game. You can't be out there with saggy glutes. He doesn't have the same.

[Travis Kelsey]

He wasn't bouncing.

[Jason Kelsey]

He tried.

[Travis Kelsey]

He was trying to bounce around.

[Jason Kelsey]

He could still whoop my ass. But the face, like a legitimate person that trains in boxing is a whole nother thing.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. Oh, no, man. I just think that was some funny ass shit. Hopefully Netflix though, back to the point.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Figure out the streaming, especially if we're going to be watching all about all the Christmas games on Netflix. Because I was, I was pretty pissed. I was pretty pissed. It kept going in and out. It kicked me out, kicked me off about four or five times.

[Jason Kelsey]

I am pissed at nothing Netflix did. I'm only mad at myself for actually spectating that and contributing that. Stuff like that happens. I don't know what I like. I just love Mike Tyson so much. I couldn't help but watch it.

[Travis Kelsey]

But I mean, I just love watching Cleveland.

[Jason Kelsey]

I knew what I was going into before it like even happened and I still like just could not help.

[Travis Kelsey]

But you can't, nobody can. It's the best shit ever.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm not gonna lie. The ass interview, definitely, I think, I don't think I was gonna watch it. Kylie and I for watch great, great British Bake Off. And then I saw that ass interview. I was like, kai, I gotta watch interview. I gotta watch this old man who used to be the baddest person on the planet try and go up against.

[Travis Kelsey]

This fucking beast of a Cleveland kid.

[Jason Kelsey]

This west side, just Cleveland kids living.

[Travis Kelsey]

Out their dreams, baby. That's what I'm here for. Shout out to the Paul brothers, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, I just. Holy cow. Shout out to Jake Paul for not.

[Travis Kelsey]

Knocking out Mike, the Mike Tyson that we know. If he was in Jake Paul's position, he would have fucking KO'd that guy into a coma.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, that's why Jake Paul's not Mike Tyson.

[Travis Kelsey]

He's got a heart.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. They want us to talk about the interview with the kid that was asking, you know, what do you think of your legacy, Mike?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, but I'm talking about the vicious Mike Tyson.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, that's a different level. One thing has not changed about Mike Tyson is his ability to answer interviewers in the most spectacular fashion. Stink.

[Travis Kelsey]

I give a fuck about legacy.

[Jason Kelsey]

We're all going to be dead. Who cares about legacy when you're dead?

[Travis Kelsey]

Shout out to the young girl reporting, God damn, she's really good.

[Jason Kelsey]

She kept it together.

[Travis Kelsey]

She was like, wow, that's a very interesting. I've never thought of it like that.

[Jason Kelsey]

They did not prepare me for this. In my multimedia class in high school, I did not know that I was going to get ridiculous people to.

[Travis Kelsey]

Welcome to Fight Night. Okay.

[Jason Kelsey]

At some point, somebody's going to tell you that nothing you do in life matters because everybody's going to be dead. And you're going to have to act like it wasn't a ridiculous statement. Go.

[Travis Kelsey]

Okay, I can. I understand that. I get where you're coming from.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, okay.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shout out to Mike Tyson, man. Fuck.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude. Legend. All righty. That does it for a week 11 recap brought to you by Burger King.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right, now let's move along to no Dumb Questions to close out the show with some no dumb questions. Because there's no such thing as dumb questions, 92 percenters. Just two dumb asses trying to figure it out. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Mint Mobile. All right, we're going to answer some not dumb questions from our heights hotline voicemails today. How about it, man? Height hotline is hot. It's a hot hotline. Next call on the high hotline. What do you got for us?

[Listener]

Hi, guys. My name's Ashley and big fan of the podcast. But when we see, like, other 92 percenters out in the wild, what are we supposed to do? You know, like, for eagles, we say like, go birds or troops, you know? But what do we say when we see a fellow 92% are out in the wild, you know? Yeah, we'd be yelling. Anything at all.

[Jason Kelsey]

I like this.

[Listener]

Should it be something, you know, profane?

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm not sure. Probably not.

[Listener]

Anyway, would love to know.

[Travis Kelsey]

Bye. Thank you, Ashley, for calling in on the high line.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, thank you very much.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't think that's a dumb question at all.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think this is an awesome question. Yeah, I have not pondered.

[Travis Kelsey]

So, Jason, I don't know about you, but whenever I'm out and about, I do get random calls and shout outs from the 92 percenters. No doubt the real ones listening in every single week. I'll always get a good new news. Get that one. That's a. That's like a. Yeah, that's a. That's a calling for all the 92 percenters to unite right there and then. Which profound. Is that what she said? She wants one that's profound.

[Jason Kelsey]

Profane is what she said, asking if we should have a swear word in there. Which. Which, listen, I'm All. Usually, I'm all for profanity, but this.

[Travis Kelsey]

Is a yellow Fornication. Fornicating. I think that one that'll get. That'll get everyone to be like, wait, what? I only know one guy that really talks about that on a weekly basis.

[Jason Kelsey]

We're gonna be in a public setting. We should probably limit the profanity. Jumanji. Instead of Jumanji.

[Travis Kelsey]

Somebody put Jumanji on.

[Jason Kelsey]

You know, for some reason, what I thought of right away. So New Heights is obviously an ode to Cleveland Heights, where we grew up.

[Travis Kelsey]

The heights, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

What do heights. No matter what. Like, class, you're from heights.

[Travis Kelsey]

Hey.

[Jason Kelsey]

Like, that's the. That's, like international high tide greeting.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

What. Can we bring that to New heights? New heights.

[Travis Kelsey]

New heights.

[Jason Kelsey]

Or should we just do high tie?

[Travis Kelsey]

I think new news is probably the best one.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, new news is definitely the one that everybody goes.

[Travis Kelsey]

But new news always does it.

[Jason Kelsey]

How about you guys send us some recommendations? How do you guys greet each other out in public when. Not just us. What do you guys say to each other? What are the first things that you. You bond over when you see somebody wearing some New Heights apparel or somebody, you know, that watches the show? That's a tough one to answer for us. And I don't know that we have the credentials. Credential. Yeah. The power to make such an audacious decision for our fan base.

[Travis Kelsey]

There we go. Why don't we get another one? You hit us with another one, Matt. Hey, guys.

[Listener]

Hoping you can answer a question that's causing a bit of a disagreement between me and the wife.

[Travis Kelsey]

Okay.

[Listener]

When is the earliest appropriate time to put up the Christmas tree? Am I being a complete scrooge by saying we should wait at least until after Thanksgiving?

[Jason Kelsey]

Thank you.

[Listener]

And go birds.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think Thanksgiving has always been the.

[Travis Kelsey]

The date in the Kelsey household. Thanksgiving was the day.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. I mean, preferably, you put it up on Christmas Day. I really. We never stay true to this.

[Travis Kelsey]

Put it up on Christmas.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right. Thanksgiving. Sorry. Up on Thanksgiving Day. So I like the tradition. We have never done this in our house, but maybe we actually will get it done this year. Where after Thanksgiving's over, you put the Christmas tree up. I like that tradition. I think that that's a good one. You know, Thanksgiving's really the start of Christmas season.

[Travis Kelsey]

We would have the Christmas tree already up, though.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, but you got the Christmas tree. You've bought it already. But it hasn't been put up right. Maybe you buy it. You know, the day.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm pretty sure we Put it up. Yeah. Like a few days before. And then the ornaments and you dress. You dress.

[Jason Kelsey]

You dress.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's a Kelsey question.

[Jason Kelsey]

Thanksgiving is definitely, to me, the pinnacle, like day that you're really. That that's the start of Christmas season. I sit here advertising Christmas album. That is.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm not. I'm also. I'm also not trying to see Christmas lights in the beginning of November. You know, I just don't.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm kind of with you.

[Travis Kelsey]

Don't do that to me.

[Jason Kelsey]

Don't ruin Thanksgiving.

[Travis Kelsey]

Don't.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Let Thanksgiving be its own thing.

[Travis Kelsey]

Let it be lead up, beautiful day.

[Jason Kelsey]

You have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then right after Thanksgiving, I mean, the moment that turkey goes down your gullet, parents get.

[Travis Kelsey]

To force their kids to eat stuff that they don't want to. Teach them lessons in life to be thankful. Let Thanksgiving be its own day.

[Listener]

Hey, Jason and Travis, this is Lisa from Akron, Ohio, as people and love your show, Rubber boy. My relationship question for you.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, they want to hear from the.

[Listener]

Ladies, man, who don't love to do chores. And I told them when they're older, they're going to have to be doing them around the house anyways. So I wondered, what chores did you do growing up around the house and do you do them now as an adult?

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, man, I don't.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, you gotta understand, you know.

[Jason Kelsey]

You gotta understand.

[Travis Kelsey]

You. I mean, you know, yes, I did do chores. So I started off as a child having to do chores. I feel like that's very good. Important lessons that I learned from mom and dad. We've both expressed the stuff that our father used to have us do in spreading mulch outside, cutting the grass with a. With just a blade, lawnmower engine, leaves, raking leave. You know, that was all the outside stuff that dad didn't want us to do. Yeah, Vacuuming.

[Jason Kelsey]

We never really did the trash.

[Travis Kelsey]

No. No. Because, yeah, Big Ed, he was always up early. He was the first one up. He was always the one taking trash out.

[Jason Kelsey]

And mom did do our laundry too, which. Shout out to mom, but shout out to. I wish mom kind of made it to her laundry because I'm awful doing laundry.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's not that hard, Jason. It's.

[Jason Kelsey]

I know. I. I just suck.

[Travis Kelsey]

It really isn't that hard at all.

[Jason Kelsey]

Good at it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Every now and then I'll. I'll get into it. But I say that I did it at a younger age because now I just, you know, I'm so busy and I like naps. There's so many services that just do Things better than me, they. They fold better.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Put away better. You know, it's just. Everything's just way more organized when I'm not doing that. Not that I can't do it, because mom taught us very valuable lessons in being able to do this on our own if we needed. And there's times where, you know, the.

[Jason Kelsey]

One thing Kylie makes me do is trash. Like, that is firmly my job.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

And I suck at it. I miss it all the time because we're traveling right now, but I try to really stay on top of the trash. Taking the trash down and embracing that. Not that I. Like, I'm trying to do the dishes all the time, but I've done them occasionally. Kylie hates when I do the dishes.

[Travis Kelsey]

Why?

[Jason Kelsey]

She just has OCD about getting all the food off the plate before you put it in the dishwasher. And the dishwasher instructions clearly state to not do that. To, like, put it in the dishwasher. Like, it gets cleaner without doing that.

[Travis Kelsey]

So really, it gets cleaner without doing that.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm just saying what the instructions say.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, that's. Well, that's how they sell you. That's how they get you.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's what it's says. It says somehow, like, using soap and scrubbing it off first and then putting it in there for some reason, like, I don't know why, but that's what they say. Oh, Kylie's getting mad at me right now. She's got OCD about cleaning stuff that I can't really.

[Travis Kelsey]

Stop exposing me, you dick. All right, well, keep your hands off the dishes, Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

Fine, I won't do the dishes.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, no, you should do your chores if your parents tell you to do your chores. And for all of you that don't live with your parents now and have a messy house, figure it out.

[Jason Kelsey]

Look at my new boots. Oh, beautiful boots. Oh, beautiful gloves. Oh, look at your hat. Sorry about that. I was getting showing a pair of new boots, new gloves and new hats travel you frozen.

[Travis Kelsey]

[Jason Kelsey]

This is how they do it. Serving Size 1 tablespoon do you know how many tablespoons of mayonnaise that women just ate?

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't know what you're even trying to find.

[Jason Kelsey]

Servings and then servings per container. A tablespoon of mayonnaise is 90 calories.

[Travis Kelsey]

So you're 10 grams of fat.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's a tablespoon. That woman.

[Travis Kelsey]

10 grams of fat in one tablespoon.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's what I'm saying. This woman just had what I'm trying to say.

[Travis Kelsey]

There's no way you can digest that much fat.

[Jason Kelsey]

So she had 2052 grams of fat in one jar. 252 servings times 10 grams is 2,520 grams of fat per jar. She ate five of them. That woman had 12,600 grams of fat in three minutes.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm good with aioli.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's the exact same thing. I don't know how you can't get over this.

[Travis Kelsey]

No, it's a different taste.

[Jason Kelsey]

What is mayonnaise? Can we google that?

[Travis Kelsey]

God damn it, no.

[Jason Kelsey]

Do you think they got any mayonnaise in Moana too?

[Travis Kelsey]

That's right. The farmer's dog isn't just fresh food, it's higher quality food. And they also send the food pre portioned specifically for your dog. That's right. This makes it easy to help maintain their ideal weight.

[Jason Kelsey]
