[Travis Kelsey]

All right, Amazon.

[Jason Kelsey]

To holiday magic.

[Travis Kelsey]

Late night show announcement on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Last week we found out that Jason will host. They call it late night with Jason Kelsey on espn. How about that? Speaking of espn, baby. Jumping right into it. Jason, man, what is this? Where does this inspiration come from?

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, I was trying to figure out what to do now that I'm retired and I thought it'd be fun. So honestly, the way thought about is I thought it'd be fun to have live music and to do something in front of a like live setting of people.

[Travis Kelsey]

Okay.

[Jason Kelsey]

And I was like, what has that? I was like, oh, yeah, late night shows have that. Because when I think of the NFL, I think of like those old iconic NFL songs that like, just make you feel like you're in the middle of football. Right. And I thought it'd be cool to have a band, play some of that music, celebrate the game.

[Travis Kelsey]

Hell yeah. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

You know the one thing everybody says you miss when you get tired or when you get. When you retire, I guess you are kind of tired. One thing everybody says you miss when you retire is being around the guys. And I mean, it could not be more true. Like, you miss the locker room so much. You miss being around coaches.

[Travis Kelsey]

I miss just hearing coaches miss those lectures.

[Jason Kelsey]

And I think this is a fun way to be like, hey, once a week for. For five weeks, we're going to do five episodes of this show, and we're going to have a panel. We're going to have a bunch of former players, head coaches, maybe a current player. The season will be over at that point for some guys. Pick me. Pick me. I mean, Trav, you are more than welcome to come on the show. We would love to have you. I know you're a busy guy. I know you're a busy guy, but I think. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna be filmed in Philly. The title, they call it Late Night is an ode to John Fenda in the first NFL Films recording ever, where he said they call it pro football. So, yeah, he's pretty cool.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right, now, would it make it make sense? What was your favorite late night, like, show or even host growing up?

[Jason Kelsey]

Growing up, it was Conan. We used to go to Nolan Plunkett's house. Dude, grow and like, you're a Conan guy.

[Travis Kelsey]

I've never knew this.

[Jason Kelsey]

I've always loved Conan. I like any of those late night shows, to be honest with you.

[Travis Kelsey]

Me and. Me and Zach always joke around, like, hey, bro, you with Conan? He's so good, man. So it's always. Yeah, he's.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, we used to. We used to be at the Plunkets at, like, a sleepover or something like that, because we all had, like, hockey practice in the morning or some tournament, and we would be up as kids, like, watching Conan on, like, the little TV up in the attic.

[Travis Kelsey]

Dude, I remember this. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

So anyways, I don't know why.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shout out to the Plunkets, man. I love Shout out to the.

[Jason Kelsey]

Definitely Don, man. Yeah, so I love Conan growing up. I mean, I got to see Jimmy Kimmel this past week, and, dude, the best. I thought it was absurd. It was. It was hilarious. Yeah, Jimmy was the man. Offered tons of advice around all day. So to be able to go on his show and promote my show that's coming out, but also, you just go there and talk to him, you know, get all the ins and outs of, like, how to run a late night show, how to. You know, how you're talking to the camera, how what. How you choose topics, you know, how you prepare. Like, it was. It was honestly a very, very beneficial trip to take.

[Travis Kelsey]

I believe it, man. Got to got the pleasure of meeting Jimmy over the summer, man. What a guy. Great dude. And you could tell he's. He's one of the best in the business for a Reason, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

No doubt. And with that, the other piece of new news is Jumanji works. I told you guys, it works. Put it on 98% of the time.

[Travis Kelsey]

Works every day. Works as good as, like, Marvin Gaye, man. Fuck.

[Jason Kelsey]

Hey, listen. Works better than Mario. Yeah. We have our fourth child on the way. It is another girl. I am very good at producing little girls. And we are very excited. Kylie, Kelsey posted this. I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie. Mom and dad are on the same page. Yep. I think that's a pretty accurate representation. Ellie is happy. She's no longer the middle child. Wyatt is like, this is too much. And Benny is not no longer the baby in a few weeks, in a few months, so. But, yeah, no, we're pumped.

[Travis Kelsey]

This is awesome, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

This is awesome. Obviously super excited. I just love my daughters so much. The fact that we're gonna be getting another one is beyond exciting.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think, you know, we'll see. This might be. It might. Might be. Might be the last hurrah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. I think. I think four beautiful little girls is. Is very magical.

[Jason Kelsey]

Good number.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. I was awesome, man, before we started. Always go for the starting five, though. You can always go for the starting five and just, you know, just. You can go for just field and infield.

[Jason Kelsey]

You know, before we started having them, we. I always said three and Kylie said five, but I don't know if she's feeling that anymore. I think she's like, okay, I've had my. No, I'm. I'm done.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's a lot of work. I can only imagine.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, especially back to.

[Travis Kelsey]

Back to back like that.

[Jason Kelsey]

It is. It is grueling for me. I. I have to do a lot of work.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're ridiculous. Out of here. Let you do this to Kylie like that. You know, nothing. Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, Kai's killing it.

[Travis Kelsey]

No, she's. She always is. And excited to be a new little, little, little baby niece. It'll be beautiful, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

I want this baby to come out happy and healthy.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just like that's all you can.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, that's. It's all you can ask for. Very, very excited about welcoming another child to our already chaotic household. Nice.

[Travis Kelsey]

Chaos is what I'm here for.

[Jason Kelsey]

Benny is so cute right now. The fact that there's going to be another little bit.

[Travis Kelsey]

Absolutely adorable in this picture. I love it.

[Jason Kelsey]

She's. It's. Yeah, you'll see. She's at a good stage right now.

[Travis Kelsey]

I love that, man. You, you can actually hear more about the Kelsey family on Kylie's new podcast.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's right. Kai killing it said she's tired of not being able to voice things herself.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, now she has the outlet shout out to Wave for teaming up with her and, and giving her. Not going to lie, which I heard might change depending on how things go. And excited to hear talk about motherhood and just whatever the fuck is going on over there in the Kelsey household.

[Jason Kelsey]

It'll be good. People have been dying to get more of Kelsey's opinion, so they're going to get it. You asked for it. Going to get it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, yeah, it is.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, let's move on to some football. How about that? All righty. Let's get in some bold topics to wrap up week 13 in the NFL. Man. It's already week 13. How crazy is that? It's week 12. Bold topics to wrap up week 12 in the NFL. Wow. All right, let's get to probably the one that we got to talk about the most, which is Chiefs recap. That's right. Chiefs 30, Panthers 27. Trav, initial thoughts?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, that was a pretty good Panthers team, man. They, they've been playing a lot. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Shout out to Bryce Young. What a great story.

[Travis Kelsey]

You love to see it, man. You love to see it. Obviously don't love to see it when it happens when you're playing, but still love to see it, man. A lot of great things about him.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And just being a ball player and being a good person and a good teammate. So love to see that for him. He's playing well. He kind of turned the narrative from the beginning of the season and he's got those guys playing really well on offense. And they, they, they went toe to toe with Pat Mahomes, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Toe to toe. Yes, they did. You guys have had a number of teams go toe to toe with you. You have had five walk off wins this year. That is crazy.

[Travis Kelsey]

It is crazy.

[Jason Kelsey]

Like complete walk offs. Baltimore, Cincinnati, Tampa Bay, Denver and now Carolina. The Chiefs are 8 and 0 in one score games. The best mark in the NFL and only unbeaten in one score games. I mean, listen, that's some of Holmes effect right there, baby.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, if he gets the ball with an opportunity to win the game at the end of it, it is. I Mean, I guess eight times it's happened so far this year. It's gone in the chief's favor. Yeah. Mahomes on close games you always want to have some blowouts and be a little calmer in the fourth quarter. But I've always said it could be a good thing. But I've always said it could be a good thing when you get to the playoffs later in the season. But I would say this more than anybody. I would love to win a game not by the very last play. Yep, I think that makes sense. Yeah. But I also get what he's saying. I think we all do. The reality is playoffs come down to one score games and the better you are in those situations in those crucial moments and this is why you guys have been so successful at the end of the day because two minutes on the line, Pat has the ball. Pretty good chance, he's going to execute pretty well. Pretty good chance your entire team's going to execute really well.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. And, and, and that's what, that's what it was for the majority of the game is. I think it was a full, it was a team win. Everybody kind of playing better together. I think we, we walked away with three more times than, than you would like. But at the end of the day, Pat Mahomes huge run in the fourth quarter on that last drive. Big time blocks by Jay Watt, he had kind of two of them where he bumped the guy and then went out and got the, the seal. So that packet or the spring where packet cut up field and, and get a bunch, a bunch of yards. So it was, it was a fun game to be a part of. There was a lot of like kind of learning moments on top of, you know, us actually going out there making some plays. And both in the run game and pass game, I thought it was a nice balance attack and Coach Reed was dialing those things up, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, speaking of Coach Reed in his post game speech he said so look, I don't want to see anybody hanging their head. Men, this league is crazy. You saw it yesterday with college football. Nothing's given to you and you're going to get their best shot. That's right. So keep your heads up men, and you get this thing rolling. We've got some things we've got to clean up. Winning is the most important thing right now. And you guys beared down and got it done. Yep. I mean listen, that's been the story of the season for the Chiefs. As we said before, the game came down to a walk off field goal after a 33 yard Pat Mahomes run, Spencer Schrader hits the walk off winner. That's right in for the injured. But Kerr Schrader, this was his first game winner. 3 for 3 on field goals and 3 for 3 on extra points. Look at Pat Scooten getting them hips in there.

[Travis Kelsey]

That boys out there sliding. He actually, you see the separation right there. Pack and scoot. Now I want you to watch J. Watt on this play though. He's. He's at, he's at the bottom left part of your screen. When Pat starts running, hits that guy on the so big and then just gets a piece of the guy that was in the flat and gets two. Gets two. And you don't need to get a lot, man. No, when, when you got a guy out of the pocket, you don't need to get a lot because Pat's going to do a lot with his eyes and he's going to do a lot with the deception of a speed. And that was such a huge play. And who, who would have thought that a veteran like JY would have been savvy enough to get two, man? Every good guy gets one. Every man gets to.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's one of the things I love watching. I love watching block. People that start blocking. That's not a design play. Like they just like find work, fine work. I mean that is what some of my favorite stuff because it's so un. It's like the, it's so unselfish and it makes such a difference all the.

[Travis Kelsey]

Time, routinely, every time.

[Jason Kelsey]

So love seeing that shout out to J. Watt. Do we have this clip of Schrader hitting a ref in the head? What's this? I didn't see this.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, after the extra point.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, it's on purpose.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nah, it was just a very unfortunate like hit off the net. Just fucking bink. Oh, boink.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's unfortunate for the ref. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. I mean, I mean, not cool. All right, let's give some Chiefs offensive highlights. Noah Gray, man, back to back weeks with two touchdowns. You've been high on Noah for a long time. You've been speaking and praising how talented he is.

[Travis Kelsey]

So good, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's coming off of a couple weeks here.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I think he's got, he's got like four touchdowns the last like six quarter or five quarters there. Nice. I can't say enough about the teammate. He is the guy. He is the professionalism. When he walks in the building, he's in it wholeheartedly. All of his focus is on one goal and that's to make the team better. And he's been that guy since he's been in the locker room. He got a big signing bonus or I mean, he got a big contract in the beginning of the season to show him, you know, that the Chiefs want him here for a long time. And it's fun to see him just take off right now. And I've been. I've been praised. I've been saying it for the past two, three years. I think we need to get him more incorporated in the offense in terms of like throwing and making him the primary and things like that, because he's got such a good feel. He. He sees the defense, he understands the defense, and he feels those. Those voids very well. You know, when we need it most. Cover zero and a second touchdown. Pat comes up to the line, changes the play, tells Noah to run a post and sure enough, physical at the top of his route, knowing the guy's going to hold on because it's zero and he's going to play. He's going to play you with heavy hands and he just snaps off and goes up top and snags him, man. And I'll tell you, man, those kind of plays, when you see a guy keep rising to the occasion time after time, whether it's in the past game, the run game, the pass blocking game, you know, wherever you need this guy to make a play, he's going to make a play for you. And you're. You're going to keep seeing 8, 3 show up, not only in the scoreboard, but on the highlights, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, baby. And then play the game. Ter Wharton, show this one. While walking off the field, Chiefs detachle. Tern Warden caught a kid falling out of the stands trying to get an autograph.

[Travis Kelsey]

Damn, Turkish. I actually saw this and I. I just kept it moving. I felt bad after once I found out. Yeah, I'm like, over to the left.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, I didn't even see you right there.

[Travis Kelsey]

I like. Oh, damn. Turk, you got him? Hell yeah. Turks got him. I haven't seen this video, though. Everybody back to your seats.

[Jason Kelsey]

Bam.

[Travis Kelsey]

This is so funny. Jesus. I mean, I don't know who the. Who the brainiac was to cut the railing right there. I don't. You see how there was like that little gap there?

[Jason Kelsey]

Is that, like little gap just enough.

[Travis Kelsey]

What the is that for?

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't know. Maybe. Maybe the Panthers are anti kids.

[Travis Kelsey]

Dude, he should go to school with a neck brace on and sue. The Panthers get rich quick.

[Jason Kelsey]

Kids shout out to Zershan Shout out.

[Travis Kelsey]

To Turk for, for making sure that the little guy was all right. I, once I saw Turk was over there, I knew everything was good.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, dude. Jason owe the Panthers apology. I think I do. I was, I was crapping all over the Panthers. I thought they were the worst team in the NFL not too long ago and all of a sudden they're starting to play pretty good football. Yeah, well, Bryce Young dude we talked about a second ago getting bench earlier this year. There's a lot of people talking about it's over in Carolina. He's going to end up being someplace else. 21, 35, 262 a touchdown. I mean it's not like, isn't an insane stat line, but it's pretty dang good. I mean he played you guys pretty well, especially for being the defense that you guys are.

[Travis Kelsey]

It might not even be the stats. I mean obviously the stats are solid, but I think it was the big time moments. He was ready for cover zero when, when it, when it was, when it was thrown at him. He had, he had answers, he had, he had an understanding of where he was going with the ball before the snap. You could tell with his feet and his timing and everything. And sure enough, those Panthers receivers, the young Panthers receivers were up there making plays, man, and, and made it hard for us. And they got a great run game, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Travis, you got a Rip Hamilton shout out. How about that?

[Travis Kelsey]

It's my dog. Got to, got to meet him over at F1 Miami over the summer. Man. What a guy. Growing up, watching him throughout his entire stint in the NFL. I mean NBA. What's that?

[Jason Kelsey]

All I think is that face mask, dude.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's iconic. Absolutely iconic.

[Jason Kelsey]

And you know why they call him Rick? Why? I thought that was his name.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, no, it's. It's the sound of.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's a good reason. That's a great name if you're such a good name.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yes, and, and he was nothing but net every single time. And he had some sweet Jordans on. He played with the Wizards for a while and played with Jordan, I believe. And sure enough the goat made sure he was. He was set with the kicks, baby. And being a fellow PE Jordan athlete now myself on the field, still repping Nike as always and forever. I thought it was pretty cool to rock the old Rip City 12s, man. During week 12 of the NFL season.

[Jason Kelsey]

Rip City Trav, do you have any final thoughts from this past week?

[Travis Kelsey]

Any final thoughts?

[Jason Kelsey]

No. Do you want to feel good to.

[Travis Kelsey]

Get double digit wins on top of that? You Know, I think we're still growing as a, as a team. I think Coach Reed got in front of the team last week before the Panthers game and mentioned, you know, just playing together all three phases, you know, however that looks. Let's work on just being complimentary football, you know, when it's big time third downs, defense gets stocks. When it's big time third downs or red zone opportunities, as an offense, we score touchdowns, special teams, spark plays, big time plays in the, on special teams and everybody just be accountable. Limit these penalties, man, these penalties are only making our job harder. And, and I think it's, I think it's great and it feels good when you, when you come out victorious, when you're all playing together, you know, and you can feel that synergy when it happens and yeah, it just feels good to get the double digit wins, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, before we move on, let's talk about some career milestones. Travis Kelsey passed Antonio Gates to become the third all time receiving yards leader as a tight end, only Tony Gonzalez.

[Travis Kelsey]

You know, I've been waiting for this to happen so that this never happens again. Because I'm not touching Tony Gonzalez.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, Tony is. I mean, that's such an absurd.

[Travis Kelsey]

There's no chance level. Yeah, there's no chance. No, but seriously, shout out to Antonio Gates, man. Yeah. Little Mac. Mac basketball, you kidding me? Some Mac basketball turned NFL tight end, NFL superstar. So cool. I remember watching Antonio Gates when I was in middle school and obviously throughout the entire NFL career and even playing against the big guy, man, he's an absolute legend. Learned a lot from just watching his game on, on, on film and then playing against him and seeing him on the field and then on, on top of that, being able to kind of pick his brain when I saw him out and about in the NFL world, man. And obviously big time shout outs to Tony Gonzalez and Jason Win, because I'll never catch you guys.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, they do have an insane amount of yards. There's also a LeBron stat out there. That's right. Andy Reid and the Chiefs are now the third team with 10 straight seasons with at least 10 wins.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, that's pretty legit.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's very legit.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's pretty legit. Coach Reed too legit to quit.

[Jason Kelsey]

Alrighty. Let's look ahead to Week 13. That's right. The Chiefs are playing on Black Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

[Travis Kelsey]

The Chiefs Raiders on Black Friday, man. Yeah, take on, take on the Raiders on Black Friday, man. It's pretty fitting.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's pretty fast. Did you see this Insane Brock Bowers, LeBron stat. Brock Bowers just passed Jerry Rice for the most receptions by a Raider in the first 11 games of a season.

[Travis Kelsey]

74. Do you understand the age difference?

[Jason Kelsey]

No, Jerry was very old. It's honestly more insane that Jerry Rice was the one who was holding this record.

[Travis Kelsey]

The Raiders have just been running the out of the ball. This is. I mean this is pretty sweet though. 74 catches at through 11 games. That's as a rookie. That's. I mean he's one of the most accountable tight ends in the league right now, man. The guy in the past game is absolutely killing it. And he's just all around football player, man. I've heard a lot of great things about the big Bowers over there in the radies.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, this is only the second Black Friday game ever. People forgot last year maybe that the jets gave up a 99 yard pick six on a hail Mary at halftime. Jake, do you remember that? Just shake.

[Travis Kelsey]

That was up.

[Jason Kelsey]

Let's show them the clip.

[Travis Kelsey]

Wow. He said wow. Nothing happened yet.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, but you know what's about to happen. It's just crazy that he went all that way.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, that cut right there would have killed me. I would have. I would. Oh no, just mix the kicker at the end. Wow.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's not a kicker, that's a quarterback.

[Travis Kelsey]

Ah, you're right. Sorry about that, Boyle.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well that was pretty fucked up. We just do just threw shade for no reason. And I would just shout out to and. But this is the type of shit that happens on Black Friday. So we got to come fucking ready and we got to fucking come prepared.

[Jason Kelsey]

When you guys last time you played against the Raiders on a holiday game, which I would consider Black Friday a holiday game. And obviously.

[Travis Kelsey]

What? You're ridiculous. You're fucking ridiculous. You give Black Friday.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's a holiday game.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean Thursday, Friday, you don't even go shopping. Shopping, Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

I go. I do Cyber Monday for sure.

[Travis Kelsey]

I want to know what the Jason buys on Cyber Monday.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean everything.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Does playing the day after Thanksgiving ruin how much you can eat?

[Travis Kelsey]

No, because you just save everything for after Thanksgiving.

[Jason Kelsey]

There you go.

[Travis Kelsey]

Leftovers for days, baby. Thanks. That's one thing Thanksgiving is good for. You know, for sure. You got that ham and those Hawaiian rolls and the.

[Jason Kelsey]

Chaz, don't do this to me. I've been so hungry.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, and this was Andy's reminder. Make sure you guys give more push aways than pull ins guys, all right? Push aways. No, he always smart advice at this point in the year. Once the holidays start up, everyone knows, like, oh, man, there's about to be some good food laying around the house, man. Man, you gotta push that away. Don't need it right now. I don't need it right now.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'll tell you what, I need it right now. I'm starving.

[Travis Kelsey]

Price and participating US restaurants vary terms. Apply ww bk.com terms all right, let's move on to some Eagles who played on the Sunday night football game. Oh yeah. Ready for some football?

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Sunday night party. Oh yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

How about it?

[Travis Kelsey]

How? Eagles 37, Rams 20. Initial thoughts, Jason?

[Jason Kelsey]

Initial thoughts? Do I have any initial thoughts?

[Travis Kelsey]

Thought about this one?

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. I mean, listen, it was a great game. Eagles were, I don't know, it's a little bias.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, the Eagles were back to playing. Unbelievable.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. It's fun to watch them right now, man. I'm not gonna lie. They seem to be connecting on all cylinders, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think obviously the initial thoughts that everybod he has seiko on Barkley is fucking incredible.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

He took multiple big runs to the house at the score. 37 20. But it was a tight first half. I was actually doing this do. I was watching the game with a bunch of fans at this Marriott and soft plug.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice shout out to all the Bon Boy members out there.

[Jason Kelsey]

It was a tight like first half and then all of a sudden Saquon just went off. I mean he was already going off in the first half, but he went off, off in the second half. 255 yards rushing over 300 yards from scrimmage. I mean they couldn't stop them. It was. And the O line was fantastic. I think I got to give the guys up front a lot of credit.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

You know, I know Stout Those guys pride themselves so much on. They worked their. They worked their asses off and hitting all these things right, Hitting all the angles right, Surfacing blocks well together. Makai, Becton and Juergens had a. Had a really nice combination block on the backside of one of these runs. Landon Dickerson had a nice combination block with Cam Jergens on the backside of it. Both of those guys demolished the linebacker at the second level. It was all clicking. The old line was playing. I mean, of course, it always does when you have a score like this.

[Travis Kelsey]

But I was about to say, you put up 255 yards rushing. Even though it's Saquon's out there, his legs are moving and he's. He's making guys miss. You gotta be on the same page as a unit. And you could tell right now the Eagles are absolutely rolling, man, but they're.

[Jason Kelsey]

They're clicking in every facet. The defense is playing really well under Vic Fangio. They finally, I think, are falling into their rhythm over these past few weeks. I mean, really, when Cooper DeJean went in, they've really played a lot better as a secondary. They're more aggressive. The defensive line is lighting it up. Not just Jalen Carter. Now all these guys are participating. I mean, we lost. This is the other thing. I mean, the biggest downer of the day for sure is, you know, losing bg. Just tremendous player and captain going down with a tricep tear out for the year. And he said it was going to be his last season. I hope he comes back. I really do. I think he was still playing at a high level.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, I hope he does whatever he wants to do.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, that's the biggest thing.

[Jason Kelsey]

He was still, like, so dominant and so productive. I know him. I know bg. He's still going to be out there leading them guys, still, still being around him, still getting those guys right.

[Travis Kelsey]

He only knows one way, man. He's that kind of player, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Just the constant. I mean, this is 15th season. He's been so good for so long in Philadelphia. Yeah, that one stinks. But outside of that, I mean, the offense is clicking. They got a great identity right now. They know who they are. They're running the ball well. AJ Brown, devontae Smith, Jalen Hurts is playing lights out. Things could not be better right now in Philadelphia.

[Travis Kelsey]

When I talked about us getting in, Coach Rhea talking about complimentary football. The Eagles are fucking playing complimentary football. Yeah, they're turning it up a notch in the second half. And that's what you really want to do. You want to start fast and be able to turn it up a notch in the second half. It's so much fun to watch, especially when you got Saquon taking to the house. This is a. The sixth player in NFL history to record multiple rushing touchdowns of 70 plus yards in a game. This is unbelievable. That's a, that's a LeBron stat. First of all, it's unbelievable LeBron stat. But his cuts, his vision right now and his, his burst is second to none. And it's just fun as hell to watch him play, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

And on that touchdown run, nobody sees it but Britain Covey right there at the bottom of the screen. So Saquon's going to get through the line. Landon Dickerson lays out the linebacker. But watch my man Covey the receiver. The white guy down here at the bottom.

[Travis Kelsey]

The white guy down.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, I don't know how else to describe him. Look at that, that right there, that little block.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's all it takes.

[Jason Kelsey]

All of a sudden now it's a 70 plus yard springs. That's why that stuff is so important.

[Travis Kelsey]

It springs the same thing that kind of are along the lines that Jay Watt did on, on Pat's big run at the end of our game, man. Guys blocking downfield. Those second effort plays, the, those are the plays that spring guys that like Saquon Barkley to, to go 70 to the house, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

No doubt, no doubt.

[Travis Kelsey]

Barkley's 1649 scrimmage yards are second most by any player in his first 11 games with a team, which is unbelievable. He's doing it. He's. He's your Swiss army knife right now. He can, he can kill you multiple ways. This is his second 70 plus yard touchdown.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, just a counter play.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just untouched.

[Jason Kelsey]

Just untouched. Misfit it. I don't know what was going on where they did a great job of.

[Travis Kelsey]

Sinking it and well, he did make a guy miss right there in the hole. He bounced it and, and got up out of there, catch a few guys out of their gap and all of a sudden, yep, he's gone.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's gone. I mean, and that's the thing that makes Saquon Saquon. And I think the reason why he's in the MVP race right now, like he's not. Not only is he a good running back, any one of these plays can be an explosive player in a touchdown. And I think there's, there's games that have been decided because of him, which is rare as a running back that like these big plays have won that many games again. You go back to this past week against the Rams, those are the go ahead touchdowns, right? Then you have the Washington score. He scores a couple touchdowns late to make that game look out of reach. And all, like at least four or five games. He has had key pivotal runs in the second half that have sparked momentum or just given the Eagles the lead.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just thrown daggers into the other team.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, and it's that big playability. It's that, that, that huge strike that is just such a.

[Travis Kelsey]

Even when he fucking jukes a guy and fucking hurdles him backwards, like, even if it's just a first down, it's electric. Watching him play right now, it's like a. It's like a prize fighter just taking shots of the body all day. And then all of a sudden he just takes a haymaker in the sixth quarter or the sixth round, the seventh round, the eighth round. And it's just that those are so detrimental to a, to the mentality of a defense man. For sure, he's showing a lot of love right now to the old line, which any good teammate's going to do. He's going to make it about the guys around him knowing that it's a, It's a team game. But he is being singled out for his unbelievable performance. And he's showing all the love to, to his O line in quotes. We broke the record. We broke Shady's record. He was also on Twitter saying, how about them boys up front? Yeah, and that's what you should do, man. You always got to show love to the guys around you, especially when they're. They're literally paving the way for you, man. I mean, when, when you give Saquon Barkley an opportunity to make one guy miss and he'll go 70 to the house, that's a pretty good play. I'll take that. I'll take that percentage of play over a lot of plays in the playbook. And if you can find the play that gets you that situation where it's one on one with Saquon Barkley and it's a touchdown, I mean, good things are going to happen.

[Jason Kelsey]

He knows how much the O line makes all this thing go. You know, he's been in New York, he's been with O lines. Not like this. Those boys up front are blocking their asses off right now. It's not even just them again, tight ends, the receivers, everybody is involved in a game where you dominate like this. But for sure, you know, Cam Juergens on out between Landon Dickerson and Makai guard Malata Johnson at tackle. Everybody is balling out.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, even the Cowboys are mad at the Giants for letting Saquon go. Michael Parsons, DN for the. For the Dallas Cowboys, tweeted out. I don't even got to say it. This week. Y'all know what the fuck I'm talking. There's a team in the NFC east who let a generational talent walk for free.

[Jason Kelsey]

How about that?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, and that is. That would be Saquon Barkley he's talking about. And they might have let another one out. We'll see how it plays out.

[Jason Kelsey]

You talk about Daniel Jones?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yep.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, that would be hilarious.

[Travis Kelsey]

We got to talk about Quinamo Bay. Eagles fans have given db, rookie DB Quinon Mitchell his. His nickname. Quinyanamo Bay after the Cuban military base. Guantanamo Bay.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, that's good.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's actually really fucking good. Again, you got. And this is how nicknames work. You don't pick your nickname. People pick your nickname. And this is. This is what makes them great. You throw it on Twitter, people are going to find a good nickname for you. Quinon Mitchell says he likes Quinna Mo Bay as a nickname. Nice. I mean, how could you not? Mitchell has allowed less than 30 yards in seven straight games and no touchdowns. Best cornerback nickname since Reevis Island.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, dude, it's good. I don't. That's super creative and funny. I think that's really good. I'm. I'm all in on this.

[Travis Kelsey]

All in on it. And we already talked about Brandon Graham. Shout out to bg, man. Get as healthy as possible. And I think we're all in on. On you coming back for another year, just because we love to see out there in that five. Five, brother. He did give us a great BG sound bite, though, in quotes. I have to make sure I get it. I get out there and be the best leader I can be, like I always do, and let the opponents know how lucky they is that I'm out. I'll tell you what, man, you hear bg, whether he's on the field or he's on that sideline. You hear Brandon Graham on the field, man, he's got. There's just a frequency in his voice. You. You can't miss it. So he'll still be that leader in that. That shit talker for the. For the Eagles, no matter what.

[Jason Kelsey]

No doubt. No doubt. Yeah. I mean, listen, I think BG is on the Mount Rushmore of Philadelphia Eagles, or what I would say. I mean, his strip sack is up there. It's the most important play of all time as a Philadelphia Eagle. He's right up there with the Philly Special to secure that first Super Bowl. He made one of the biggest plays when we needed it most, and it ended up being a huge point in the game. So. I don't know that anybody I don't know, like, represents the Eagles better than Brandon Graham. He's just been such a great teammate.

[Travis Kelsey]

And person, and he's been through it all, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, he's been through it. Always been here for a long time. 15 years. So. Shout out to BG Final Thoughts.

[Travis Kelsey]

Have the. Have the vibes ever been higher in Philly?

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't think so. I. I think, you know, Nick Sirianni after the game was definitely doing the, you know, Nick Saban, you know, don't listen to the. Or don't eat the rat poison, right? Like, everybody's going to be telling you how good you are. Like, coach knows it and. But he also knows that they still. All this is just an opportunity to go out last week. They got to double down, continue to get better, and we got to win this next week. You know what I mean? And I think you can't let last week affect how you're going to prepare for this coming week.

[Travis Kelsey]

Not a chance.

[Jason Kelsey]

You got to approach it with the same mindset. We still got to get better. We still got to improve. We still got to keep being the dogs that we are. And I think that, you know, it sounds like coaches is keeping all the guys in the right mindset. Obviously, we got to smile out of Jalen. Look at that picture. Who doesn't love a good Jalen smile? There we go, baby.

[Travis Kelsey]

Next week, the Eagles are going to Baltimore to take on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Man, it's like the Ravens win Monday night, just playing big game after big game after big game right now.

[Jason Kelsey]

Ravens had a tough schedule. I don't know who hated the Ravens, but they got loaded with the tough matches.

[Travis Kelsey]

They're handling it pretty well, though. I'm not gonna lie, man, that was good. Good game Monday night, and we'll get to that in a little bit. But, yeah, is this game going to determine the MVP race? Lamar Jackson vs. Saquon Barkley or Derrick.

[Jason Kelsey]

Henry vs. Saquon Barkley?

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, my bad. Derrick Henry is also in awe of Saquon Barkley as everyone else is. Go crazy, gangster. Yeah, Derek Henry and Saquon are. I mean, I mean, if we're being.

[Jason Kelsey]

Honest, it's probably going to go to a quarterback, but I think Saquon's got. I think Saquon and Derek Henry both have the benefit of the story, right? Like, they both have changed teams. Saquon went to a division rival.

[Travis Kelsey]

Both walk with nothing.

[Jason Kelsey]

How about.

[Travis Kelsey]

This is.

[Jason Kelsey]

What's crazy is that the game has gone back to the line of scrimmage, which is wonderful, right? And we're seeing the best teams in the league run the ball really, really well. What they're doing is line of scrimmage.

[Travis Kelsey]

Controlling line of scrimmage, controlling the clock, limiting possessions.

[Jason Kelsey]

The game's gone back to the line of scrimmage. It's going to be very interesting after this season to see what happens in the running back market, to see what happens in the draft. Like now all of a sudden is running the ball is being seen as the way to win in this league in some ways, right between Detroit, between what Philadelphia is doing, what the Baltimore Ravens are doing. I mean, you guys, you guys are running the ball more than you've ever run the ball with Pat Mahomes.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

If this is the way defenses are going to play and this is the way the league is now running, all of a sudden, running backs, maybe they're. Maybe that value is going back up all because of these guys right here. How about that?

[Travis Kelsey]

How about it? Then you got guys like Ash, Ashton Gentry over there at Boise State. Oh, shit. You think he might get drafted next year?

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I think it's still going to be a quarterback driven. I'm not saying, like it's ever not going to be that, but I do think we're seeing firsthand how important having great running backs is. So. Yeah, yeah, I do think it's going to change things a little bit. Let's get to the rest of Week 12. There's a little bit of chaos in the NFL in Week 12, huh? Titans over the Texans, Browns over the Steelers. Cowboys over Washington. Vikings need to win an ot. How about that? Man, those are crazy, crazy losses.

[Travis Kelsey]

You already know when, when November and December hit, man. It's like especially in division, right, Division, teams fighting for playoffs, everybody sees the light at the end of the tunnel a little bit more. It's a little bit more meaningful. There's a lot more film out there for people to diagnose to understand what the other team is doing. On top of that, there's injuries that play into it, new guys having to step up, getting put into the fire for the first time. There's so much that goes on in November and December that it's just. That's where it really Becomes any given Sunday, man, anybody can get it. And obviously these four games right here just are just proven that, man. Chaos can happen in the NFL, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, Titan. It's just familiarity, right? Like the Browns and the Steelers. The Steelers beat the Ravens last week. The AFC north is always tight. Feels like these teams always beat up on each other. No matter how good each one of them is, you're going to lose one or two in division games. No matter how good you are in the AFC north. It feels like that every year.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Titans over Texans. I would. I mean, what is going on? The Texans were supposed to be one of the best teams in the afc. All of a sudden, last couple weeks they've been struggling a little bit. Well, I guess they, they played well last week against the Rams.

[Travis Kelsey]

There we go.

[Jason Kelsey]

Monday night, Titans freaking Will Levis. Mr. Mayonnaise. Speaking of Mayonnaise, lead him to victory. Cowboys beating Washington. I did not have that one on my bingo card. It was Washington has been playing lights.

[Travis Kelsey]

That. No, that might have been the craziest ending to a football game for, you know, Daniels to find McLaren and him to go to the house and then to miss the field goal, have to go for an onside kick and then to lose it with return for a touchdown. The NFL is crazy, man. The last 2 minutes, 49 seconds, there was Cowboys 99 yard punt return for a touchdown. Oh, this was electric. Watch this punt return right here. Whoop.

[Jason Kelsey]

Whoa.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's unfortunate.

[Jason Kelsey]

Rc, mate. Dude hit the B button. Hit the circle.

[Travis Kelsey]

First time that circle and B button has worked in the NFL game since a 2003 Madden.

[Jason Kelsey]

RC brought this up on Monday night. That sometimes when you drop those kicks, it messes with, creates the coverage. Everybody like goes to go get the lane. Yes. How about this catch by Terry McClure?

[Travis Kelsey]

I have been a very, I have been an advocate to put in the fake drop fumble.

[Jason Kelsey]

Just, just drop it on purpose. You know, you got time. Just drop it on purpose.

[Travis Kelsey]

But. And then what play do you think you should run out of the.

[Jason Kelsey]

Are we talking about offense or are we talking about special teams offense? You fumble, Ruski. No center snaps the ball, hits the quarterback's hands, falls down just like little Giants.

[Travis Kelsey]

No, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it look like somebody in the backfield is like fumbling the ball on the ground. So everybody then goes like ears back and runs at the ball.

[Jason Kelsey]

Then you put on, you put in the A screens screen.

[Travis Kelsey]

God damn it.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm not, I'm not picking up on the screen.

[Travis Kelsey]

You don't Think. You don't think the screen would work? Everybody. It just. It makes everybody collapse onto somebody. And then you build a fortress for somebody to run behind.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, I'm sure it works. I gotta. How is it happening? So you snap it to the quarterback.

[Travis Kelsey]

Snap it to the quarterback. He shotgun. Fumbles it. Fumbles it, everybody.

[Jason Kelsey]

What are we running up front? Are we running pass pro two jet.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, two jet.

[Jason Kelsey]

So we're just doing two jet. Snap a shotgun to the quarterback. Quarterback fumbles.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yep. Tell. Tell the old line act. Act like you're stabbing a guy and looking for someone else. So everyone thinks like, oh, I can beat him and like attack.

[Jason Kelsey]

Three step drop. We're doing like a three step drop type look.

[Travis Kelsey]

Exactly.

[Jason Kelsey]

Okay. Quarterback gets it. Fumbles it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice picture.

[Jason Kelsey]

Back up.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yep.

[Jason Kelsey]

Now the D line, baby.

[Travis Kelsey]

Roll out, baby. Roll out. Like a panic. Like, I got to get away from the rush. Throw the screen.

[Jason Kelsey]

And then who? You throw on the screen back to the running back.

[Travis Kelsey]

Who's throwing it to? The matter.

[Jason Kelsey]

Tight end.

[Travis Kelsey]

Doesn't matter.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, it does matter. You're telling me you got a play design. You don't even know who the ball's going to.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, I'm not going to tell you the exact play I said. I've just been an advocate of faking the fumble and then throwing the screen.

[Jason Kelsey]

All righty. Terry McClaren also had a ridiculous catch to tie the game up. Well, what they thought was going to tie the game up. And then we had this debacle on the extra point. Let's take a look at that. There we go. Terry. Dude, he's a beast.

[Travis Kelsey]

He is a beast.

[Jason Kelsey]

So good.

[Travis Kelsey]

Ohio State Buckeye extra point.

[Jason Kelsey]

And the kick is.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yanked it.

[Jason Kelsey]

God, look at him. Right away, his hands are on his head.

[Travis Kelsey]

I. Oh, yeah. Somebody's got to get him.

[Jason Kelsey]

And then you return it for the score. Surprise. You don't just fall on it.

[Travis Kelsey]

You can't shortchange those little. Whatever those kind of kicks are on site kicks. Yeah, but it's like the. It's not like the true onside kick.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, they're. They're trying to, like, bunt it and outrun it to, like, get there.

[Travis Kelsey]

You can't shortchange those, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, you got to get it at least 10 yards. That's what you're saying. Yeah, I got you. Yeah. Well, that is the rule.

[Travis Kelsey]

To say.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right. Crazy ending to not the best game for the commanders. Shout out to the Cowboys for pretty much securing the Eagles victory at the NFC East. This would it. Would it Would take a complete meltdown for the Eagles not to win the NFC east at this point. So shout out. I think this might be the only time in Eagles history that everybody was collectively rooting for the Cowboys.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, possibly. Pretty wild first snow game of the year, though, up there in our hometown, Cleveland, Ohio. Up there on the lake.

[Jason Kelsey]

I love a good snow game. It's the best.

[Travis Kelsey]

How about it? Huntington Bank? Right there on the lake, just sitting. Just taking all the weather off the lake and just making it difficult on dangerous. We also had a mic'd up Jameis Winston, which is always electric. Yeah, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

He tried. He tried so hard.

[Travis Kelsey]

Sometimes I talked about frequency. Somebody jump off size.

[Jason Kelsey]

Damn, that's so good. God, that's good. I love it. Dude, did you see his pregame? Pull that up. Pull up the pregame. I want this in the show.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm just so. I'm the one.

[Jason Kelsey]

How fortunate.

[Travis Kelsey]

How fortunate are we to be playing up in Cleveland, Ohio, on this beautiful. Now, this is football weather, dude, I.

[Jason Kelsey]

Love this clip so much. What will it take? Tonight?

[Travis Kelsey]

The horse is prepared for battle, but victory comes from the Lord. Depending on the Lord.

[Jason Kelsey]

Preach to the team.

[Travis Kelsey]

Day by day, one play at a time. Day by day. We'll play the time.

[Jason Kelsey]

Expecting winds up to 15 miles per hour that impact your ability to throw the ball.

[Travis Kelsey]

I am so happy and grateful that the Lord has blessed me to play in some snow, to be in true football weather in Cleveland, Ohio, at Huntington Bank Field today to get him to glory. It's a beautiful. Who is he looking at?

[Jason Kelsey]

Feels like north.

[Travis Kelsey]

It is. It's magical.

[Jason Kelsey]

Thank you. It's a beautiful day, dude.

[Travis Kelsey]

This dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

Every time.

[Travis Kelsey]

Every single time, man. So authentically, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm so happy. Oh, that's awesome.

[Travis Kelsey]

You gotta love it, man. And Cleveland was rocking, man. Had everybody with their shirts off, enjoying the first day of snow. You gotta love it, man. You got. You absolutely gotta love it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Paisan of the week goes to. Not Tommy DeVito, who goes to Baker Mayfield with his.

[Travis Kelsey]

He sent it, man. He sold it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Tommy DeVito, celebration. I didn't. I mean, I didn't know he was this quick with his triceps. I mean, look at those things. He's firing them up.

[Travis Kelsey]

Strong man, strong guy. Strong lats.

[Jason Kelsey]

Looks like he's, like, throwing coins. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Really good trolling there by Baker. Impeccable trolling.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's good.

[Jason Kelsey]

He was also grilled about his Italian heritage after the game. I don't know if you saw this Travis.

[Travis Kelsey]

I did not see this. What was this?

[Jason Kelsey]

Good? It's good. I guess it was the DeVito celebration.

[Travis Kelsey]

Tribute. Tribute to Tommy.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, it's a good dude.

[Travis Kelsey]

Scott Swag.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Who came up with that?

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, I have no idea. I just see him do it.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, but who's like. I'm sorry, whose idea was it for you to do that? And when did you know you were going to do it?

[Travis Kelsey]

You know, most of the times I don't know what I'm going to do. So there's spontaneous stuff. I respect it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Spontaneous? That was not planned. I mean, even your teammates got into it too.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

You know, New York fans love Tommy here and give him something they like. Are you Italian by any chance or.

[Travis Kelsey]

No, I haven't done a 23 and me, but I don't know.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, that's professional.

[Travis Kelsey]

Love that.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's professional trolling by Baker. God, that's funny.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shaking Bake Baker Shake and bake, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, man, that's a spicy.

[Travis Kelsey]

Beat the ball.

[Jason Kelsey]

We gotta ask Big Dom if Baker's got this. The. The Italian okay to pull off that celebration.

[Travis Kelsey]

There you go. There you go. The Marshawn Selly is back. Safety's Seahawks safety and former Bearcat, Kobe Bryant. How about that, man? Hit the Marshawn lynch nut grab hold dick on a end zone. Pick six. Man, Arizona had a tough one. Buddy was open too. It's tough, it's tough. But when you get tossed one, you gotta have fun with it. Homer.

[Jason Kelsey]

Not quite as good as Marshall.

[Travis Kelsey]

Classic Celly. But that will also get you fined, young man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yes, it will. Yes, it will.

[Travis Kelsey]

Told his family before the game, if he got a pick six, he would do the Marshawn lynch crotch grab. Nice. I'm sure he said crotch grab in the end zone. Hopes. Hopes lynch will chip in if the NFL finds him.

[Jason Kelsey]

This is one week after Jameson Williams did the same celebration. Jameson was fined $19,000.67. Marshawn was fined $11,050 for the original celebration. This is just, you know, as you can see, inflation, NFL inflation, point blank. How many years ago was the Marshawn?

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm going to say it was a decade ago for sure.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's almost doubled in a decade. I mean, that sounds about right.

[Travis Kelsey]

2013, 2014 was when he was. That's when they were winning Super Bowls.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. So I think this would be. I mean, 10 years is about. The salary cap is pretty much doubled in that time frame or at least close to. So, yeah, that's NFL inflation for you. Who knows what it'll be. Well, probably close to $19,697. Coach quote of the week from Jim Harbaugh after the Monday Night Football game against his brother. I'd lay down my life for my brother, but I wouldn't let him win a football game ever.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's a good quote.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's very accurate.

[Travis Kelsey]

And the.

[Jason Kelsey]

I know exactly what you're talking about. I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Travis Kelsey]

I get it. I get it. I get it. I'll kill somebody for Jason, but he will not win a football game.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm not gonna let him win. That does it for week 12 in the NFL.

[Travis Kelsey]

Jason. Can you believe we're already coming up on Week 13 of the NFL season? Well, the holidays are coming up fast here, which means it's almost time for Small Business Saturday.

[Jason Kelsey]

Unlike National Tight End Day, Small Business Saturday is a day I support. I love supporting local businesses here in Philadelphia and all they do to support our community. I love getting some food and some unique spots close to me. Some pound cake.

[Travis Kelsey]

There we go, Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, yeah. Cheesesteaks. You can find some cheesesteaks at some really good local spots in Philly. I kind of like going to, like, boutique spots like jewelry.

[Travis Kelsey]

You taking me down Coventry Road right now?

[Jason Kelsey]

I like Coventry Road. Coventry Road's got a bunch of small businesses. Maybe a movie theater.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. A nice small business movie theater.

[Jason Kelsey]

I like supporting a small business movie theater.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. All right, now, 92 percenters on November 30th, you can support our local community by shopping small on Small Business Saturday, funded by American Express.

[Jason Kelsey]

Again, Small Business Saturday is founded by AMEX and is coming up in a few days here on Saturday, November 30th. Get in the holiday spirit this year by shopping small. Some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking out all State first.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just like you know to check if your favorite restaurant is open on Thanksgiving before you get in the car and drive all the way over to it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Or like when you know to check if you've packed your black and gold overalls before going out the tailgate with a bunch of app State fans.

[Travis Kelsey]

Checking first is smart. It's not. It's. It's the smart thing to do. Make sure you check. And make sure you also check All State first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're going to be in good hands.

[Jason Kelsey]

With All State savings. Vary terms apply. All State Fire and Casualty Insurance company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. If you're like me and probably most people in the world Your eating habits definitely change around the holidays. Holiday food is elite, but it does impact digestion. Trav, what's your favorite Thanksgiving side?

[Travis Kelsey]

The favorite thing is giving side. I'm probably gonna go with either Mac and cheese or sweet potatoes. Candy, yams. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. How did I know that, man? I was all over that. I'm a big green bean casserole. I love green bean casserole. How does that affect your digestion or your poops? You don't have any other issues? Like it doesn't upset your stomach at all?

[Travis Kelsey]

No. I got some good gut health. Lucky for you and all the 92 percenters out there, AG1 is a perfect way to helping you stay regular and avoiding getting clogged up with all the extra holiday eating.

Let's get out of the house. Jason, you are. You are out of the house more than I have ever been out of the house. And I'm jealous. All right, before we get to New Heights film club, let's quickly get out of the house. Out of the House is brought to you by Small Business Saturday, founded by American Express.

[Jason Kelsey]

How about that? Love supporting small businesses at this point.

[Travis Kelsey]

Should we just call this segment Jason, go home instead? Because, Jason, you haven't. Yeah, you haven't. Haven't been in the house.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

You got a fourth girl on the way. Might need you to.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, all right. I got you. I got you. This was.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right.

[Jason Kelsey]

A unique situation in some ways.

[Travis Kelsey]

In some ways, Jason was everywhere. Jason, you were spotted on Saturday at Appalachian State at the tailgate singing your favorite karaoke. Totally escapes of the heart.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yep. You know that I've loved that one forever.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's my go to the Dan band. The Dan Band version for sure. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, I'll. Even if it's the original version, I'll just sing it like it's the Dan Band. I'm singing it like that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. Let's watch this clip just because it's fun to watch Jason do Jason things.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, cool. Yeah, I actually haven't seen it yet, so I'm kind of intrigued. We've seen enough. We've seen enough. We've seen enough.

[Travis Kelsey]

You can't start that high because then when you need to go higher, it's just. You gotta. That is still electric.

[Jason Kelsey]

It goes off the rails every time. But either way, dude, App State was fantastic.

[Travis Kelsey]

Why were we at App State?

[Jason Kelsey]

Good friend of mine, Brandon Beaver is from Carolina. He knows a lot of the people at App State and in the area.

[Travis Kelsey]

Big beef.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's the best either way from the area. And obviously that whole, you know, Boone county, that whole area has been ravaged by the hurricanes or whatnot. So we felt like there were some stories to be told and, you know, we kind of captured some content around that and people that have. It was just. It's an outstanding story of community. How much, you know, when times get tough, people rally around each other and they've rallied around each other in that area. They've rallied around that football team. This was their homecoming. They got a big win. So to be able to be down there, everybody made me feel so welcome. It was just beyond fun and awesome and just a really good trip.

[Travis Kelsey]

So I love it, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

Shout out to you guys. App State.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shout out to. Way to go.

[Jason Kelsey]

Way to go, Mountaineers.

[Travis Kelsey]

How about it, man? On Sunday you were at the Rams Eagles game, man. You caught some Eagles football and then played some beer pong. Little celeb shot.

[Jason Kelsey]

Got a celeb shot.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nailed it. Drained it like a pro. Elbow good lean.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Halfway. Halfway across the table. That's some good shit.

[Jason Kelsey]

Was back there. Just an illusion. Just an illusion.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's a good point.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's a good camera.

[Travis Kelsey]

At some point you performed in a UCB improv show.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Operate Citizens Brigade. A lot of this trip, I went out with the guys that helped me do this late night show. So we went to Kimmel. Kimmel. Jimmy was able to tell us kind of, you know, the ins and outs of running a late night show. The tailgate with the beer pong. Some of that was grabbing content that we're going to show during the late night show. And then Upright Citizens Brigade. It was just an idea to go out there and get comfortable in front of A crowd doing, like, comedy bits, right? So, dude, these guys, this whole crew was. This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. They absolutely killed it. It was hilarious. They made it super easy on me. I just went up there and told stories. It was a blast, man. It was a lot of fun.

[Travis Kelsey]

And I could listen to Jason Kelsey tell stories for the rest of my life, man. That's awesome, though, man. That's awesome. I love going to stuff like this, man. This is the coolest ever.

[Jason Kelsey]

The best.

[Travis Kelsey]

I would have definitely enjoyed every bit of that. But you also starred in a new commercial for garage beer. How about that? Where did the inspiration come from? This.

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't know. Had this idea I've. I've loved, you know, this just seems like something fun to do. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, man. I want a little, like, something fun to do. Look at this guy, man. Holy. Dude, it was so good, man. Everything is the best, man. Just enjoying your life, so.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yep. Just having fun making. Hey, hey, hey.

[Travis Kelsey]

I needed more feet, though. I needed.

[Jason Kelsey]

I know you did. You did. Tell me you want to set the free Willie. Wait, wait for. This is the best part. Everybody's gonna turn it off before they get to the best part. Watch. Watch the best part.

[Travis Kelsey]

My guy bathing in it. Just bathing in it. Now the best part is definitely you jumping into this camera like that, all happy as hell, dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

It just seemed like something really fun to do.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, I enjoyed every second of it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Now that we own a beer company, we get to come up with stupid ideas that we think is funny. I don't know if anybody thinks anybody else thinks it's funny, but I think it's funny.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think it's pure entertainment. Jason. Yeah, I think as long as. As long as Jason Kelsey's enjoying it and he's showing everybody that he's enjoying it, people are gonna fucking love it, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, I'm gonna keep doing it.

[Travis Kelsey]

So, yeah, go out there and grab a garage beer and see how it makes you feel like this.

[Jason Kelsey]

It'll make you dance.

[Travis Kelsey]

There we go. Did you have a favorite event over the weekend?

[Jason Kelsey]

Man, there were so many good moments. The App State, I would say Appalachian State was. Was the best, just because of, I don't know what, everything that. That community's been through, and everybody was great.

[Travis Kelsey]

Tailgate. We never got the tailgate as. It's like, I've been.

[Jason Kelsey]

Like, I've been getting the tailgating in.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's what I'm saying. You got the itch to tell you like you're a professional tailgater now?

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, I want to be. It's hard sometimes because everybody knows who you are. You just want to tailgate. But, you know, either way, it's. It's a good time. And I think I like connecting with people, and that was awesome. But there was a lot of great moments, and I think that citizens brigade thing was hilarious. Just the creativity and the. The talent that those comedians had was spectacular.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Monday Night Football. I did. It was. It was busy. I'm definitely happy I'm home now. And you got the holidays coming up. Get to celebrate some Thanksgiving with the girls.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

But it was. It was a good week. It was a really, really fun week.

[Travis Kelsey]

I love it, man. Well, you were on Monday night looking like a cinnamon swirl up there with that brown on, man. That looked real.

[Jason Kelsey]

Cinnamon swirl.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. He was a cinnamon buttercream. Buttercream. And that was out of the house. Brought to you by Small Business Saturday, funded by American Express. Shout out to American Express. All right, now let's get the little New Heights Film Club. That's right. With everything you guys have been waiting for. A little roadhouse review. New Heights Film club is brought to you by Burger King. Go ahead and get your favorite whopper right now. You rule. We have to watch a movie this week.

[Jason Kelsey]

Week. Let's do it. I'm going to open up my notes.

[Travis Kelsey]

A little homework.

[Jason Kelsey]

Open up my notes. We've got a bit of programming update. We've seen how much everyone has loved the New Heights Film club, so we've decided to put it in the regular show. We're working out figuring out the release of the former Wondery plus content. So stay tuned for Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Potentially. But don't worry, if you subscribe to Wondery plus, we're still going to be giving you guys great content and we appreciate all your feedback and we can't wait to continue putting out those as well. But there's been a big appetite for this to be in the regular episode, and we are proud to offer the new Heights Film club episode this week. Roadhouse right now. That's right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Such an iconic film.

[Jason Kelsey]

Not the new one. This is the 1989 classic Roadhouse film.

[Travis Kelsey]

Come on, baby. The class. The classic roadhouse.

[Jason Kelsey]

Hopefully all of you guys have watched it and you are ready for this review.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's literally the Jumanji for my parents.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's what I was. It's what I was made from right here. Kidding me. Nothing like getting Patrick Swayze to get things fucking hot and steamy in the, in the Kelsey household. You know I'm talking about.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm not gonna lie. This is definitely more. This is better than Jumanji if you want to get the juices flowing. This is for anybody. It's got something for anybody.

[Travis Kelsey]

Let's put some. Let's put some Vaseline all over Patrick Swayze's body and let's see where it ends up.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, let's. Let's start. Where's the film start? So the film starts. Frank Tillman owns a barn called the Double Deuce.

[Travis Kelsey]

The Double Deuce in Kansas City.

[Jason Kelsey]

The film. Is it in Kansas City, dude?

[Travis Kelsey]

What? Yes, he's got a. Just outside of Kansas City, Jasper. This is Missouri. This is Missouri based movie. Dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

Does this place actually exist?

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm. I've been looking for it since 89. Since I was born, brother. No, I'm kidding. I have. I believe it is a made up.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, so Frank Tillman owns a Double Deuce. You don't know it at the opening of the movie, but you see Tillman walking through an undisclosed bar he's scouting. Right away the tone is set. He enters a rough and rowdy bar with rock and roll music playing. Tits on display.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Pans to a profile view of our lead man, Patrick Swayze, AKA James Dalton. That's right, Dalton. Chiseled jawline, impeccable hair. He is dealing with an issue at the bar. Right away we see his controlled demeanor. Clearly experienced. He handles the situation without igniting it further. We see this as a bad man as he is stitching his own arm. After being cut with a blade electric. He is offered the job by Tillman for handsomely payment. I think in 1989 it was handsome payment and he accepts. So that's the opening scene being set. Right away we see this guy's been through some. Anybody stitching their own arm up and they're not like a doctor, they've been through some.

[Travis Kelsey]

I only remember like one other scene like this and it was. It was Jean Claude Van Damme in a movie where he was like cutting out like a. Like a bruise or some sort of like. I don't know what he was cutting out. I thought it was like some sort of bruise or something.

[Jason Kelsey]

But are you thinking of the Arnold movie where he's cutting out the tracker that's in him?

[Travis Kelsey]

That's it. Or when he's like pulling it out of his nose?

[Jason Kelsey]

Yes, that's it.

[Travis Kelsey]

These are the. Either way. So back to Swayze. Swayze's It's a Total Recall movie starts off and I just. I enjoy the music. First off, shout out to Jeff Healey.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude kills it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Legend.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yes.

[Travis Kelsey]

Absolute legend. I was. I've been listening to Jeff Healy music all day.

[Jason Kelsey]

She actually blind.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yes. Canadian.

[Jason Kelsey]

That was. That was true.

[Travis Kelsey]

From Toronto. Yes. I had to look him up and make sure that this was, this was legit. And he is as legit as it comes. Blues, rock and roll, you name it, man. How about when it first goes into.

[Jason Kelsey]

The Double Deuce and he's just in a cage and they're throwing gear like. Like what kind of made up establishment is this?

[Travis Kelsey]

Made up? Dude, these gotta.

[Jason Kelsey]

There's places like that exist.

[Travis Kelsey]

What you think this is? No, this is real. You think guys, you think there weren't fucking rundown establishments like this? It was in Blues Brothers too.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think the, like the first bar scene, they get in a fight because some dude says he's gonna pay $20 to kiss another woman. And then he doesn't pay.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't got what he does.

[Jason Kelsey]

And then for some reason the entire bar fights and it was just these two guys.

[Travis Kelsey]

Right away we get into the music, the slang. Some of the slang. Like.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, the slang you talking about like the one liners.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just like somebody calling somebody else a hot shot.

[Jason Kelsey]

Hot shot. Oh, I didn't even. I was looking at the one liners. Dude, the one liners are so good. Good.

[Travis Kelsey]

Pecker head.

[Jason Kelsey]

Pecker head. Gosh, what's I got. What about the one liners? The guy says, does a hobby horse have a wooden dick?

[Travis Kelsey]

Dude, calling serves like putting an elevator in the outhouse don't belong.

[Jason Kelsey]

Say, what are you doing, dickless? Well, I ain't about to show you my dick, Nicholas, but I'm on my break. Stay on it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Stay on it. That was a banger. When he's. He's giving the lecture. So, so as we get into the movie, he, he's. He goes to this new bar, the Double Deuce. And he starts to fix it up by immediately canning everybody. He's starting to can the problems. The drug dealing, dealing lady, the bar back that's stealing all the money. Who. Who ends up being the. The villain in the movie's nephew and starts. Starts to the whole mess behind the scenes of what's actually going on in the bar. Yes. And he's. He sit there telling every single guy or. And every single girl, be nice. This is how we're gonna do it. When you kick someone out, you. You're nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

What if they call you a name.

[Travis Kelsey]

What do you mean they call you. They call me.

[Jason Kelsey]

What if they call you a cocksucker?

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, a cocksucker is just two nouns combined that elicit a prescribed response.

[Jason Kelsey]

I love that. I probably could. I could have used this advice, dude.

[Travis Kelsey]

I immediately thought, yeah. And I was not gonna bring this up unless you did.

[Jason Kelsey]

When I was watching, I was thinking of me. I was like, God damn it. Where was Dalton at Penn State.

[Travis Kelsey]

Who would have thought Roadhouse would be an educational movie? Oh, I love it, dude. But, yeah, I thought that was a banger. And he. He slowly starts to, like, change the mind mindset of it and the mindset of everybody in the bar to. To do things his way. And as he starts to run it, you see all the problems starting. And one of my favorite things, favorite lines in it is, it's gonna get worse before it gets better, bud.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yep.

[Travis Kelsey]

And he's been through it before. Golly. Did it. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

And he had. And he knew it because he went to the tire store when he bought the car. He bought extra tires because he knew what he was. He knew, somebody's gonna slash his tires. He knew, this ain't my first rodeo.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, they went for the windshield, too.

[Jason Kelsey]

There's something Zen, like, with. I mean, we find out later that he's a. Like a legitimate philosopher, but there's a Zen, like, presence to Dalton that just is fun. I. There's the one scene where he's doing tai chi. I'm not a big tai chi guy.

[Travis Kelsey]

Not a big Tai chi guy. Unless you look good doing tai chi.

[Jason Kelsey]

I will say that he looked real good doing tai chi.

[Travis Kelsey]

If doing tai chi like, that means I can rip somebody's throat out, I'll fucking start doing it right now.

[Jason Kelsey]

Can we talk about that?

[Travis Kelsey]

Just have that in the back pocket. Just, like, can we talk about the.

[Jason Kelsey]

Sexuality through this whole film? I mean, I guess we'll get to that later. Let's just keep going through the plot. Let's keep going through the plot.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. The best thing about Patrick Swayze in the beginning of this movie is he is like, the poster child for, like, when. When you start acting. Look at this. Look at this scene, though. The. The pan around. You see the beautiful land that he's on. Like, how did he find a Rent a barn over here on this property? Across. On a. On a pond? Like, you want to talk about a perfect situation?

[Jason Kelsey]

I do love how he just ingratiates himself to the community, to all these just, like, figures that, like, need help. Like, he's their protector.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, he immediately went from, you know, saving the. He has to turn this Double Deuce around to saving the community from this fucking shitbags that have been running.

[Jason Kelsey]

By the way, he's called a cooler. Have you ever heard of bouncer called a cooler?

[Travis Kelsey]

I didn't. Sweet. I haven't heard of that one.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, I like that, though. It's like you're not bouncing people. You're cool in the situation.

[Travis Kelsey]

Everybody be cool.

[Jason Kelsey]

I like that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Chill out.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, for those of you that haven't seen the film, the film then progresses as Dalton tries to clean up the Double Deuce. He runs into this gentleman, Ben Wesley. And it's apparent that Ben Wesley is a piece of and in some ways, some type of underground mafioso where he's got people involved. It's. They're a part of, like, this club stronghold in the community club. If they're not a part of the club and they're not paying them money, then he just ruins their establishment a lot.

[Travis Kelsey]

Running the unions.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Pretty. Pretty bad guy. There's also a love story to this. That's right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, doc.

[Jason Kelsey]

Doctor. Dr. Clay. That's right. She is. I mean, a smoke show fantastic lady who Dalton meets after the first knife infliction was. Second knife infliction on his arm. This one he can't stitch up himself. No, this one's in his ribs. He has to get his. Stitch up his ribs?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yep.

[Jason Kelsey]

Meets the Doc immediately. I mean, you could tell they're feeling each other. They're getting the googly eyes.

[Travis Kelsey]

Why don't you come on down to the double, dude?

[Jason Kelsey]

That's right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Let me buy you a drink, Doctor.

[Jason Kelsey]

So they start to, you know, have feelings for each other and that gets into a whole nother thing. And then, yeah, it just continues to like. Wesley wants to retain control over the Double Deuce. Dalton is trying to fix the Double Deuce, and the only way he can fix it is by ridding the Double Deuce of. Of Wesley's control. So Wesley starts. His goons start trying to pretty much strong arm Dalton into giving into him, and he's not doing it. The bar's fighting back. It's getting to a point that he needs help. So his buddy Wade Garrett, played by Sam Elliott, comes on down. Clearly, they have history. They don't get into it too much, I don't think, but they've been through this show before, and it's Sam or, sorry, Wade Elliott and Dalton fighting against Ben. At some point, it feels like his best friend's like Hitting on his girl. Did you pick up on that, too? That was a dirtbag move by Wade.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then a real aggressive.

[Jason Kelsey]

But I didn't know if he was.

[Travis Kelsey]

Being probably acceptable back in the 80s.

[Jason Kelsey]

But showing a lady your pubes, I didn't like. He had a scar and he didn't need to unbutton it and show the top half of his publisher. Like, he could have just flapped down that one section. I did not remember seeing Sam Elliott's pubes.

[Travis Kelsey]

Dude, Sam Elliott without a mustache. Kind of me up, too.

[Jason Kelsey]

He had a mustache, didn't he? No, he's a beard. Yeah, that's right. It was a full beat.

[Travis Kelsey]

Like, I'm thinking, like, when I think of Sam Elliott, I think of, like, the mustache.

[Jason Kelsey]

Cowboy Western.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, you know what it is?

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, for sure.

[Travis Kelsey]

He's a smooth operator. Either way, man. He had the locks.

[Jason Kelsey]

No doubt. From there, things continually start to digress. Even more things reach a boiling point when Wesley lights fire to Dr. Clay's uncle's establishment and it all starts blowing up. To which Dalton finds Jimmy Reno, who is the right hand man to Ben Wesley jumps on him. Riding. Was he riding a motorcycle or a dirt bike?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, he's trying a little getaway bike.

[Jason Kelsey]

Little getaway bike. Dalton jumps on and spears him off the bike. Then they get into a battle.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's all like, I'm not gonna lie.

[Jason Kelsey]

Jimmy Reno's shit talking was way better in this battle. Dalton was very simplistic in his shit talking. Like, all this has happened. He's lit fire to a guy's house. He's lit fire to a barn or like, house. Jimmy Reno's a big fire guy.

[Travis Kelsey]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Jason Kelsey]

Pyromaniac lights fire to the establishment. Then he lights fire of the barn. And Dalton's had enough. He's like. He tackles him off and then he's like. Reno's talking to him and he just says, you are such an. If that's not the understatement of the year, like.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then that's only the start of it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, Jimmy Reno hits him with the line mid fight. When he's got the upper hand, he thinks he's about to win. He hits him with the line. I used to guys like you in prison, which. That's a hell of a line to rip out. Can I say something? Normally we don't bleep out curse words because we want this show to be authentic. I think we need to bleep out whenever we say I used to. Guys like you in prison, like, it just. It feels too aggressive to, like, leave unadultered in the episode.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then that was a fucking wild ass. I wasn't expecting.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's a crazy lie.

[Travis Kelsey]

You heard that, and then you saw his throat get yanked.

[Jason Kelsey]

Did you see what Dalton said after? You know what Dalton says to that?

[Travis Kelsey]

No.

[Jason Kelsey]

All he says back is, go yourself. It's like, bro, that's not a good. He won that talking. But anyways, Dalton wins with the throat grip, which there's. There's this underlying tone. Yeah, right. I. First of all, I just. Impeccable technique on the throat grip. I mean, the hand, the claws, like, just immediately going right for the esophagus and just nailed it. I think there's an underlying. Through the whole film of this PTSD that Dalton has from. We learned that he has already previously done a throat grip, and he feels bad that he killed a person, even though Wade tries to remind him that it had to be done. And then all of a sudden, he gets to this boiling point. This stoic, like, very controlled man. Dalton gets to this boiling point, and he. And he just rips it out again. To which Dr. Clay, seeing how high of a level that Swayze can get to, is just like, oh, my God, this guy just ripped the throat out. Maybe I shouldn't be.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't need to be around this.

[Jason Kelsey]

This is a little bit intense.

[Travis Kelsey]

We could have just left. Yeah, well, how else am I supposed to be?

[Jason Kelsey]

And just when you think it's kind of over. I mean, I feel like once you. Once you've proven you can throat rip, I feel like usually you would think the bad guy was. Would go away, but not. Not. Not Wesley. Wesley goes on to give Dalton a call at the Double Deuce and says, you got to choose between her, Dr. Clay and Wade. Oh, wait, I'm going to flip a coin. I'm going to. I'm going to kill one of them. That's what it is. He's not going to choose. Flip a coin doesn't tell him which one. He goes to Dr. Clayton, for some reason, leaving Wade. Like, why. If you know that he just said, I'm going to kill one of them. Why not bring Wade with you to Dr. Clay? I thought that was a big. Like, he fucked that one up with. You just put him in the car.

[Travis Kelsey]

You definitely don't leave him alone.

[Jason Kelsey]

Don't leave him by himself. Yeah, that's a. He fucked that one up.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, Especially. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

So he leaves Wade goes to Dr. Clay. Dr. Clay's like, Listen, I ain't fucking with you anymore. You just ripped a guy's throat out. We're not in this together.

[Travis Kelsey]

Actually, I can't be seen with.

[Jason Kelsey]

You're a psychopath.

[Travis Kelsey]

If you come around here one more time, I will get a restraining order, Okay? I just saw you rip someone's throat out. That's. You were so hot until that. Now you're just scary.

[Jason Kelsey]

I. I can't believe I used to think you were sexy.

[Travis Kelsey]

You were so hot.

[Jason Kelsey]

So Dalton goes back to the Double Deuce, only to find a knife in his best friend and confidant's chest, to which he loses it and decides to go attack Ben Wesley at his house.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yes.

[Jason Kelsey]

Wesley's waiting. He knows that an angry Dalton's coming. Dalton pulls a pretty cool move. He puts a knife in the gas pedal with the car to create a diversion.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. From about a mile out, too. It was crazy. I don't know how he had the precision to keep that card going on the road, the dirt road, but we.

[Jason Kelsey]

Don'T need to ask questions.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

But then Dalton proceeds to kill everybody throughout the house, knocks the polar bear on the fat guy, and then gets into an altercation. The final boss battle with Wesley, and he's winning him. He's knocked the gun out of his hand a couple times, and he's got him pinned, and he's about to go for the throat rip, and he realizes, this is where I got to be the bigger man.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Walk away.

[Travis Kelsey]

Can't do that. No. Once you're right.

[Jason Kelsey]

When he walks away, like, I don't know. He didn't know that the other people were there.

[Travis Kelsey]

No. That was the universe responding to his kindness.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, but, like, how did he. Why did he just get up? Like, he had to know that Wesley was just gonna go grab the gun again and try and kill him, but he just walks away. But. And then, out of nowhere, all of the townspeople are in the house. They haven't been.

[Travis Kelsey]

People that have been over by Wesley.

[Jason Kelsey]

They haven't been referenced at all.

[Travis Kelsey]

The car salesman. The. The car. Where the. What is it? The. The maintenance shop, the. The car dealership.

[Jason Kelsey]

The owner of the Double Deuce.

[Travis Kelsey]

Double Deuce. The guys that Wesley had had a strong arm over the entire time. The farmer. Everybody got their shot in.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. They're all just, like, sitting there. I don't know where they came from. Like, they knew that Dalton. Like, the Dalton call them before he went over there, because otherwise, they would. Why would they go to Wesley's house?

[Travis Kelsey]

Because the universe told them to Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, well, they end up there, and they each proceed to shoot him with a shotgun. And, like, this very dramatic scene.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's beautiful. That doesn't make any sense because he had all the game trophies around the room.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, I didn't even think about that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, the trophy room, all the animals, and it had showed all the. All the lives he had taken and all that.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's one theme. I didn't think about that. I thought it was just like a symbol of, like, everybody saying enough is enough, right? Anyways, they each shoot him with a shotgun. He dies. Then a cop comes. The first time this entire movie. There's been assaults, there's been stabbings. There's been, like, people have been knocked unconscious. The first time you see a cop the entire movie, and they said, most inept of all time. He's like, what happened here? And everybody's just like, I didn't see anything. Did you, Billy? I didn't see anything. What about you, Kevin? I didn't see anything.

[Travis Kelsey]

I didn't see anything.

[Jason Kelsey]

The only thing the guy said he saw is he saw a polar bear.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's it.

[Jason Kelsey]

That was the end of it. Everybody just got away with it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Me and you. Me and you both. We always.

[Jason Kelsey]

And then Dr. Clay came to her senses because Dalton had saved the town and everybody lived happily ever after.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. And he pulled. He pulled. I'm pretty sure Dr. Clay's related to the gentleman that he was renting the house from.

[Jason Kelsey]

Favorite scene. I think the shotgun finale is fantastic. The throat rip scene is great. Yeah, we already talked about the tai chi scene.

[Travis Kelsey]

I honestly, I just like that first scene in the actual, like, Deuce showing all the havoc and just the village idiots that are in there every night just drinking the. Drinking out the tap. Dude, it was. I mean, it was hilarious.

[Jason Kelsey]

It is so good. All right, let's give it a pff. Grade score from 1 to 10 on cinematography. All right, Cinematography. It's definitely dated. You know, it's. It is. It's 89 movies, but I like the scenes. I like the sets. I'll go. I'll go. I'll go. Seven and a half.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're tough. I'll give it a eight. I enjoyed it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Acting, I mean, I would not say that this is a good acting movie, as great as it is. And maybe the bad acting is part of the reason it's great. I'm gonna give the acting a five. I'm gonna give it a five.

[Travis Kelsey]

Absolutely no emotion at all. Until I forget until, like, Wesley actually started to, like Ruin like people's like livelihoods.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think you're right on that. So what are you going? Is it lower than a five? It was. The acting's really bad.

[Travis Kelsey]

The fight scenes are awesome though.

[Jason Kelsey]

The fight scenes are great.

[Travis Kelsey]

I do love the fight scene. I'll give it a six.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'll give it a six. All right. Directing. I mean, a ten. Absolutely hilarious.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's not supposed to be funny, but I can't help it. It's like. It's not. It's not, but it is.

[Jason Kelsey]

The reason it's a 10 is. It's just like everything is max for what the movie is.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's one of my favorite scenes of the entire movie is when he throws the knife in the fucking. The accelerator in the car.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yes, yes.

[Travis Kelsey]

The, the gas pedal. Throws the knife in the gas pedal.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And the car goes straight for like a half a mile.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then on top of that, not only does it go up a ramp, but it starts, turns over and it comes out of it like it was exploded.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, that's because the guy with the shotgun shot the, the fuel tank. That's what was supposed to happen. Like, it was like a, like a shooting clay. This. It was just such, Just. All right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Somehow we have to have a car going in the air. That was like the 80s. Like. All right, let's do it. Bring it in the. Bring in the blow up car, like between the lines.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, I know that's writing, but like the directing, like the way everything came together and the just complete hodgepodge of masculinity combined with like sexuality combined with just. It was just. It's fantastic. Did you know the director's name is literally Rowdy?

[Travis Kelsey]

No.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's great. All right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Rowdy Harrington. Shout out to Rowdy Harrington, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

I will say plot. I think the plot is low.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think the plot is high. I do. I. I think, I think this was a very, very creative plot. I don't think this is like. That's why I think the movie has been recreated. It's because the plot of like a guy going in and saving a bar from its saving a town then saving a town. It's like. I don't know, maybe I'm. Maybe I'm silly, but I just think that that's not, that's not like your typical, like action movie.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think it's pretty typical action. That's all go plot. But I do. I mean, you're right. I don't know. They could. The plots falls in love with the doctor, like if it wasn't done in such, like, an absurd way.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. It's not like this is like a cop. A cop going in and, like, getting out. Dirty cops and, like, like, they don't bring the police in this thing at all. It's just literally like, cross town. Like warfare.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. If you take the throat, rip out all the absurdity of it, and it's just the bare bones plot to it. Like, a bouncer comes in, he helps fixing up an establishment, ingratiates himself to a community, and starts to slowly find out that there's an underground set of bad guys that are really hurting the city. And he helps the city muster up the strength and courage to fight back and resist that. All right, fine. You convinced me. I'll go eight on plot. Eight on plot.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice. I'll go a solid eight with you. Just because I convinced you.

[Jason Kelsey]

Character development.

[Travis Kelsey]

Dude, again, another one of those, like, like I said earlier, like, that first half of the movie, he gives you less is more. And, like, that's the thing. Those are, like, the things that I, I, I was being told as, like, getting into, like, the acting world. Like, less is more. Don't do a lot.

[Jason Kelsey]

We don't need.

[Travis Kelsey]

Don't do a lot. We don't need you to be, you know, Denzel Washington or, like, Leonardo. Like, you don't have to be the best at this. All right? Less is more. Feel the scenes out. And that's exactly what Swayze is doing in the beginning. He's giving you absolutely just one line, one word answers in one word. Lines, no emotion, straight face. And then by the end of it, he is just a. Out of control. Just like a trained killer. He was an absolute trained killer and showing so much emotion that he couldn't control it.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's really what the story ends up being about. This story is about, like, you can only take so much, like, you know, turn the other cheek. But eventually you got to stick up for yourself. You got to put your foot down. You gotta fight back at some point. And he, Dalton does a great job of holding back as long as he can. And this community has been bullied and taken advantage of for so long. Yeah. Anyways, character development, I just don't know. I mean, Dalton's character, he's got, like, PTSD from a previous throat.

[Travis Kelsey]

R. I just thought he'd be bigger than what he was.

[Jason Kelsey]

Do you know how many times I can. I was. I've been said that my entire career.

[Travis Kelsey]

Whenever I meet somebody, every time I'm getting sized up from everyone, my Entire.

[Jason Kelsey]

Career thought you'd be bigger. Yeah, go yourself.

[Travis Kelsey]

Try and guard me one on one.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's what my wife says. All righty. Character development.

[Travis Kelsey]

I enjoyed it. Give me a seven.

[Jason Kelsey]

Fine. Yes.

[Travis Kelsey]

We gave you guys our reviews.

[Jason Kelsey]

Hold up. That's a PFF grade of 7.8. I think that's a pretty solid PF.

[Travis Kelsey]

Pretty solid. Yeah. What did we give?

[Jason Kelsey]

Torture.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, not George. What do we give?

[Jason Kelsey]

I think you got a traveling pants. I think you got an 8.2 or something like that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Maybe we this up. We're being too nice. I blame Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, one of them is actually trying to be like a good film. This is just a freaking dudes movie. It's a great movie. It's so good. All right. Letterbox reviews from the Greek Creek. I used to guys, the Greek geek. We can't keep saying this line. But I'm gonna repeat it one more time. I used to guys like you in prison is the 80s version of I eat pieces of like you for breakfast. Okay, so I'm not the only one who thought that.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nope. There's a banger. All right. From David Chen. When people talk about how movie executives in the 80s were doing excessive amounts of cocaine, this is the kind of film these executives.

[Jason Kelsey]

This is very accurate. This is a very good take by David Chen.

[Travis Kelsey]

Do you think we could get away with the throat being yanked out of another human being?

[Jason Kelsey]

That's a very good take, David. Alrighty. From Ian West 80s Bar Western with a hell of a first act, then starts exploding silver fox. Sam Elliott shows up. And during a showdown, the villains henchman says, I used like you in prison moments before getting his throat ripped out by Patrick Swayze. Sounds like at least four stars to me.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's what I'm saying. We need to bump that PFF grade up to at least an eight.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, what is a letterbox? What is four stars? Is four stars the most you can get out of five? So I mean, four stars out of eight is an eight. Four stars out of five is an eight out of ten. So we're pretty much right on board with where David is.

[Travis Kelsey]

You need to bump this up to an eight. That's what I said. Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right.

[Travis Kelsey]

Either way, we're pretty close.

[Jason Kelsey]

I like our score. I think it's fair. Would I recommend this movie? Yes, absolutely.

[Travis Kelsey]

I would recommend this to a man. I would not recommend this to a woman.

[Jason Kelsey]

I would recommend it to a woman. If you want to understand how men think, good movies go. If you want to get to the.

[Travis Kelsey]

Root, if you Recommend it with that attached to the recommendation, then, yes, I would recommend this. Everyone.

[Jason Kelsey]

If you want to understand men more, watch Roadhouse.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's so up, but it's so true.

[Jason Kelsey]

Like even the love story with Dr. Clay, like there's not like any type of substance put to it. She's just really good looking and she takes care of them a little bit. Like that's the extent of it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I mean, he reads and that, that, that'll. That'll help you out if you read and you do yoga.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's a gentleman. He's. He's very chivalrous.

[Travis Kelsey]

There you go.
